[14:30] <qos> edbian jrib. i am remotly connected via ssh to that system. is there a way to switch between the server by a command? the same what CTRL-ALT-F7 does eg ...
[14:30] <makara_> mega1: give full version name and number
[14:30] <Kiff__> boywonder: sudo mount.cifs //ipaddress/share  /mountpoint
[14:30] <mega1> ubuntu server 10.04
[14:30] <jrib> qos: if you're in a tty, you can use "chvt" but I don't think that will "just work" otherwise
[14:30] <Island_Monkey> !ask|Island Monkey I have an issue with the launcher.  Any ideas how to fix it?
[14:31] <boywonder> Kiff__, whats the mountpoint?
[14:31] <Pici> Island_Monkey: please don't prefix your messages with !ask
[14:31] <Kiff__> boywonder: where you would like to mount the network share to view it
[14:31] <jrib> qos: I think attempting to retrieve the gedit document from memory is probably feasible
[14:31] <qos> jrib, chvt answers something like: could find a filediscriptor which points to the console.
[14:31] <jrib> qos: or forcing gedit to save somehow
[14:31] <boywonder> Kiff__, and i dont have to edit fstab?
[14:32] <jrib> qos: yes
[14:32] <usalabs> jrib earlier you suggested I downgrade samba, I did, and had to also downgrade ubuntu-desktop too, it fixed the network shares not showing in nautilus
[14:32] <qos> jrib, *couldnt find ...
[14:32] <Kiff__> boywonder: eventually yes but just for testing id suggest doing it manually

[14:39] <nankura> hello ubuntu world
[14:39] <usr13> makara_: ifconfig  with no arguments will show you the ip address.

[14:39] <makara_> mega1: i don't know by command line. you can install synaptic by command line and then open it from there
[14:39] <chewy> i ll let you know. thank you for your help!
[14:39] <usalabs> I've been playing around with deciding or not, to upgrade to Karmic, but there's a lot of downside being published about Unity, anyone got any opinions on this?
[14:39] <usr13> makara_: just do   sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>  (If netmask <IP_ADDRESS> is ok, that is default)
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> usalabs: Unity is in Natty, not Karmic
[14:40] <jorge12345ff> hola
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> usalabs: I'd say grab the natty liveCD and try it

[14:40] <TBotNik> All: Was told wicd was superior to Network Manager, but now can not make it masquerade to bridge my LAN across my wlan0 connect.  Additionally I do not see a way in it to set the wlan0 as the default come up first, and it seems to ignore all the standard files, so at a loss right now to know what to do.  Anyone done this in wicd before?  I'm total noobie on this one.  Thinking about going back to NM, if I can't solve this soon, thinking mayb
[14:40] <Kiff__> boywonder: in what way?
[14:40] <boywonder> Kiff__, siad failed to mount

[14:41] <jorge12345ff> que
[14:41] <jorge12345ff> queaa
[14:41] <usr13> TBotNik: First: It is beyond the scope of wicd to do internet connection sharing.
[14:41] <Kiff__> boywonder: what was the error
[14:41] <jorge12345ff> q
[14:41] <Island_Monkey> jorge: nope
[14:41] <BluesKaj> hmm, seems the latest updates killed a lot of network interfaces
[14:41] <makara_> usr13: trying to connect 2 pcs with crossover cable
[14:42] <usr13> TBotNik: Second:  Why does it matter if wlan0 comes up first?  What exactly are you trying to do.
[14:42] <TBotNik> usr13: Then what do you use to masquerade and bridge?
[14:42] <usr13> makara_: Then that is all you should need.  Just set the IP as needed and you should be good to go.
[14:42] <jorge12345ff> sorry
[14:43] <TBotNik> usr13: Has to come up first or eth2 was to be primary inet connect and it has to be static dhcpd server.
[14:43] <greywalk> hi. when i activate the proprietary driver for nvidia graphics cards from the ubuntu repo, it installs ok, but the whole system kind of hangs, works more slowly. has anyone else had this problem as well?
[14:43] <usr13> TBotNik: That you can do with firewall settings.  Or you can just enter the commands on  your own.  I ususally use ipmasqurade (via iptables)
[14:43] <lefort_v> Hello !

[14:45] <JosefAssad> uh. I got to the part in the 11.04 install where you have to type where you are but I cant type anything in the box.   I had to go for a bit.  This dialog: http://tinypic.com/r/157k8wp/7 is where I'd like to see a pdf printer pop up.
[14:46] <Island_Monkey> One troll sorted.
[14:47] <ziikutv> ActionParsnip: Is that one command?

[14:52] <ziikutv> ActionParsnip: Will i have to install the chrome plugin?
[14:53] <TBotNik> usr13: Having additional problems since installing wicd, as FireFox refuses to work now.
[14:53] <craigbass1976> Or does ANYONE have an answer?  This dialog: http://tinypic.com/r/157k8wp/7 is where I'd like to see a pdf printer pop up.  There's a windows app called pdfCreator that acts like a printer.  While I realize this is largely unnecessary in Linux, some foolish java programmer (or group of them) requires an actual printer to print to.  I'm stuck
[14:53] <TBotNik> usr13: The purge issued by the wicd install must have knocked out some FF dependencies, so it's broke now.
[14:54] <nankura> does anyone use openbox here?
[14:54] <makara_> craigbass1976: click print to file. you will be able to choose a pdf

[14:55] <BluesKaj> TBotNik, sudo apt-get install --reinstall firefox
[14:56] <tyler_d> in term I am trying to remove nvida-glx, however it isn't found. so in trying to add it then remove it I see that its refered to by another package... how do I find out what package it is?
[14:58] <BluesKaj> tyler_d, what are you trying to do ?
[14:58] <TBotNik> BluesKaj: No wonder FF was crapping, showing 3.0 and 3.5 both installed in Synaptic, so can't run because of conflicts, purging all the 3.0 stuff going to 3.5
[14:58] <BluesKaj> ok TBotNik , let us know how it goes
[14:59] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: find out what package is refering to that
[15:00] <makara_> mega1: did you come right?
[15:00] <BluesKaj> yeah tyler_d , but why  ...what';s the objective?
[15:01] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: to remove any reference to nvidia-glx
[15:01] <usr13> TBotNik: I do not think that wicd is causing firefox not to work
[15:01] <TBotNik> usr13: When I get FF back up resend me those URLs.
[15:01] <Chad> how is life everybode
[15:01] <makara_> usr13: I'm trying to follow these instructions: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/share-files-between-2-ubuntu-computers/
[15:02] <BluesKaj> tyler_d, which driver ? and are you trying to purge/uninstall it?
[15:02] <craigbass1976> airtonix, no, that brings up ANOTHER print dialog: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=aeuzgx&s=7
[15:03] <makara_> usr13: after filling in the 'connect to server' dialog I get an error
[15:03] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: oh dear me. yes, I am trying to remove all packages that refer to the virtual package nvidia-glx
[15:03] <TBotNik> usr13: I know I was strictly on 3.5 before I issued the wicd install.  It did purge on NM and I had done that a couple weeks back on another machine and that does knock out parts of FF, dependency wise, then all the 3.0 FF stuff had to come from the wicd install, cus I knew I was on 3.5, had cleaned it up about a month back.
[15:03] <atannus> Hi. I have the Purple Screen of Death. 10.10 was running _fine_ on the machine, and after upgrade to 11.04 is stuck on purple screen. I have tried all solutions presented on forums, no good. Booting with older kernels .38 and .35 get me to the login screen, but after I type int hte password, I get nothing but the background and the mouse pointer (which can move). The 10.10 install had openSSH installed and working, so I _can_ ssh into the machine
[15:03] <atannus> , from where I tried removing the nvidia drivers and reinstalling them, which also did not help. This seems to be a common problem with 11.04, and I also know there is no option to downgrade back to 10.10. Does anyone have an idea?
[15:05] <aperture> Anyone know how to get the transparency of the panels just right? It works in empty spaces, but nowhere else (except top icons)
[15:05] <ne2k> TBotNik: Chrome
[15:05] <Myrtti> atannus: have you tried logging in to Ubuntu Classic mode?
[15:05] <makara_> craigbass1976: what are the printer choices from the drop-down list?
[15:05] <atannus> Myrtti, I don't know what that is.
[15:05] <auronandace> !classic | atannus
[15:06] <craigbass1976> makara_, the dell and the brother only.
[15:06] <BluesKaj> tyler_d, if you are trying to install the nvidia current driver , the install should automatically remove any vestiges of previous drivers , if gdm/X aren't running , best to install the nvidia -current driver at a tty .
[15:06] <giulia> hello. How can I make Murrine as the default graphical engine ? Thank you
[15:06] <TBotNik> All: Well still getting the "already running error" from FF.  Anyone know how to restart it without reboot?
[15:06] <abn7575> I want to put gnome3 on here. I like the interface it has
[15:06] <usr13> TBotNik: I think you are wrong, NM and FF do not share any dependencies.
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> TBotNik: kill the processes
[15:06] <giulia> TBot : kill the process
[15:06] <moxbox> TbotNick: pkill firefox
[15:06] <usr13> makara_: What error?
[15:06] <bazhang> abn7575, not supported will break unity avoid
[15:06] <bazhang> !gnome3 | abn7575
[15:07] <Onepamopa> guys, any way of making the swap partition IN ram ?
[15:07] <usr13> makara_: What server are you trying to connect to?
[15:07] <abn7575> i know it will break unity. I dont use unity as it is. I dont like it
[15:07] <makara_> hanging on the purple screen of death means no login option to choose interface
[15:07] <bazhang> abn7575, on your own then.
[15:07] <moxbox> Onepamopa: Yes, let me look it up
[15:07] <ne2k> usr13: libc6... ;-)
[15:07] <abn7575> and uhhh actually it can be downgraded did so twice already lol
[15:07] <giulia> just a question at 2cents, how can I make Murrine as default decoration engine on Unity ?
[15:07] <makara_> usr13: my other pc. its linked by an ethernet cable. I set the ip on it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:07] <Myrtti> atannus: but with the older kernels you got to the login screen
[15:07] <bazhang> abn7575, full reinstall
[15:07] <auronandace> abn7575: gnome 3 will be supported for the next release (perhaps it is better to wait till then)
[15:07] <abn7575> no
[15:07] <TBotNik> ne2k: Never, a keytracker is a virus, that you willingly install and Google is the leader in analytics because of their keytrackers.  No not installing a virus on my machine.  Already installed all the blocking plugins, so not undoing that!
[15:07] <abn7575> same install
[15:08] <ramontayag> hey guys. i tried searching for this, but can't seem to search with the right words. i have a keyboard that has those special media controls (play, pause, next, stop). it works with miro, but it doesn't work with songbird. is there a setting in ubuntu I can change to get it to work with songbird?

[15:08] <boywonder> ?
[15:08] <makara_> craigbass1976: how old is your system? what version
[15:08] <usr13> makara_: So you have one set to <IP_ADDRESS>   What IP is the other one set to?
[15:08] <abn7575> lmao what ever man. someone commented on gnome. I said something. dont worry, ill leave though, dont want to bother you fine closed minded peoples. :) peace
[15:09] <TBotNik> usr13: Would if I could, need to reboot, BRB
[15:09] <usr13> TBotNik: Why reboot?
[15:09] <makara_> usr13: <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:09] <giulia> abn, wait until next Ubuntu version
[15:09] <ne2k> TBotNik: google chrome is a virus now?
[15:09] <giulia> Gnome 3 will be released then

[15:09] <Onepamopa> moxbox okay, thanks ;)
[15:09] <atannus> Myrtti, now I'm stuck on a Black screen! :)
[15:09] <usr13> makara_: Very good, that should work.  Now see if you can ping:  From the 192.168..4.4 machine do:  ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:09] <Onepamopa> its just Im getting 48gb ddr3 ecc and it's a good idea to remove the swap partiton @ hdd and make it @ ram
[15:10] <atannus> is that an improvement?
[15:10] <dyd> happy holidays ;)
[15:10] <usr13> makara_: Ctrl-c    #To quit
[15:10] <makara_> usr13: 'network unreachable' it says
[15:10] <usr13> makara_: Check to make sure IP is set;    ifconfig
[15:11] <usr13> makara_: On both machines.
[15:11] <usr13> makara_: Are you plugged into correct ethernet port?  (Do either of those machines have more than one?)
[15:12] <usr13> makara_: If you have NM running, it will sometimes try and change IP settings.  That is sometimes a problem.
[15:12] <makara_> usr13: ok#
[15:12] <makara_> usr13: it somehow lost the ipv4 address, but it still displayed it in the GUI network tools program
[15:12] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: though I appreciate your feedback on that; it ultimately did not answer my question. but ty for trying
[15:13] <tyler_d> in term I am trying to remove nvida-glx, however it isn't found. so in trying to add it then remove it I see that its refered to by another package... how do I find out what package it is?
[15:13] <atannus> Is it possible to Downgrade back to 10.10 from 11.04?
[15:13] <atannus> Or do I need a clean install?
[15:13] <makara_> usr13: i've reset it to <IP_ADDRESS> and it pings fine
[15:13] <highness_> Umm.. If I want to run something in crontab on a daily basis, will it be correct to use 0 0 * * * root /path/to/script.sh ?
[15:13] <makara_> usr13: now it says 'connection refused by server'
[15:14] <BluesKaj> tyler_d, soory I didn't scrollback to see your original question , I assumed you were having nvidia driver issues
[15:14] <usr13> makara_: Ok you are good to go.  But if you want to use these devices to connect the two PCs together perminately, you may need to set those IP addresses via NM.
[15:14] <tyler_d> BluesKaj: s'all good
[15:14] <BluesKaj> ok tyler_d , good to hear
[15:14] <usr13> makara_: What is saying connection refused by server>?
[15:15] <usr13> makara_: What software are you trying to use?    Best to back up your /home dir and do fresh install. (If you have /home on separate partition, just tell the install to leave it alone and set same user name.
[15:16] <ne2k> highness_: this is /etc/crontab, not a user's crontab
[15:16] <makara_> usr13: I'm on natty 32bit
[15:17] <highness_> ne2k: That is awesome. I neeed to run as ROOT
[15:17] <usr13> makara_: use the IP address.
[15:17] <highness_> Thanks for verifying
[15:17] <atannus> usr13, lucky I do... thanks.
[15:17] <highness_> Hmm... Stuff that I put in crontab.daily, does it run automatically, or do I need to do something else with it too?
[15:17] <usr13> makara_: i.e.    From <IP_ADDRESS>    ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:17] <usr13> makara_: But if user names are same, just do   ssh <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:18] <ne2k> highness_: look in /etc/crontab and see
[15:18] <highness_> ne2k: oh, I just ran crontab -e
[15:18] <highness_> Is that the wrong way to go?
[15:18] <usr13> makara_:   ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>  #Where atannus is the actual user name on <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:18] <atannus> I'll do a clean debian this time. Ubuntu is becoming too applelish to my taste anyways...
[15:19] <Synthead> what does "auth --useshadow --enablemd5" do in a kickstart?
[15:19] <ne2k> highness_: crontab -e is for editing a user's crontab, which is different from editing the system crontab
[15:19] <usr13> atannus: You can switch back to gnome....
[15:19] <atannus> usr13, i cant BOOT into the system...
[15:19] <highness_> ne2k: Ah.. And when I do crontab -e as root, will it have the same effect?
[15:19] <ne2k> highness_: to edit the system crontab, you just edit /etc/crontab -- or use the /etc/cron.daily,etc/ directories (look in /etc/crontab to see how they work)
[15:19] <atannus> usr13, the damn think is broken. upgrade broke it.
[15:19] <ne2k> highness_: I'm not actually sure about that. it shoudl say in the man page
[15:20] <highness_> ne2k: Ok. Thanks.
[15:20] <atannus> usr13, I can ssh, but that's no good for a desktop...
[15:20] <BluesKaj> makara_, ssh default port is 22 , so do , ssh alex@remotepcIPaddress
[15:20] <ne2k> highness_: I do know, though, that it is acceptable and works to edit the system crontab just by editing /etc/crontab and it will automatically be picked up
[15:20] <makara_> usr13: refused. I've only got one login name on this pc and its alex. I'm already logged in and talking to you through it. Can there be multiple logins on one name?
[15:20] <usr13> atannus:  What is broken?  (Probably can be fixed.)
[15:20] <ne2k> highness_: and that it is /not/ acceptable to edit a user's crontab in this way
[15:20] <atannus> usr13, Ubuntu is. Unity.
[15:20] <highness_> ne2k: Roger
[15:20] <atannus> usr13, I get a purple screen, nothing else.
[15:20] <atannus> usr13, its windows all over.
[15:21] <gusg> I'm trying to run "sudo ldconfig" but I'm getting this error "/sbin/ldconfig.real: Can't create temporary cache file /etc/ld.so.cache~: Permission denied"
[15:21] <usr13> atannus: ...or gnome,(your choice).
[15:21] <atannus> usr13, so much for error messages... just lock the user on a purple screen.
[15:21] <jrib> atannus: didn't you quote an error earlier?
[15:21] <usr13> makara_: There will only be multiple logins if you have created multiple users.
[15:22] <atannus> jrib, read back and you'll understand, son.
[15:22] <dean> Hey all could someone tell me if it is or isn't recommended installing kde inside ubuntu?
[15:22] <jrib> atannus: I think we should try to focus on fixing your ubuntu
[15:22] <usr13> makara_: Are you sure you have the right password in mind?
[15:22] <craigbass1976> makara_, what system, this computer?  It was new within the last three years.  I'm running lucid
[15:23] <atannus> jrib, agreed.
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> atannus: boot to classic desktop and get 3D accelleration running
[15:23] <BluesKaj> makara_, so you say the pc you are sshing from doesn't connect to the internet , only thru ssh into the pc that does connect ?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> dean: you can if you want
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> dean: doesn't break anything, you will choose the session at logion
[15:23] <atannus> jrib, do you have any ideas? This seems to be a common problem, 100s of ppl reporting it on forums, dozens of "solutions" but none work. All forums tipos are still wide open, and most ppl just gave up.
[15:24] <jrib> atannus: what solutions have you tried that failed?
[15:24] <atannus> Or, perhaps I'm incompetent to find the solution...
[15:24] <dean> ActionParsnip, Is it easy to do also if I chose kde would I still have access to files and programs etc?
[15:24] <makara_> Blueskay: the first thing yes, the second no
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> dean: yes, you can even run gnome apps in kde
[15:24] <atannus> ActionParsnip, read what I said before you suggest IMPOSSIBLE solutions, PLEASE.
[15:24] <usr13> makara_: What exactly are you trying to do?
[15:24] <makara_> usr13: I created a second user and said don't require password to login. it still refuses my connection
[15:24] <ionite> Why does my mp3 stutters even while switching windows or opeing a new tab??
[15:24] <iridium> hey boys, I use to do an "netstat -atun | grep 80", but I'm curious there is any way to filter ports in netstat without using grep, awk or similar?
[15:25] <atannus> ActionParsnip, I get an EMPTY PURPLE SCREEN, I CANT BOOT.
[15:25] <t4nk552> hello to all, xdpyinfo show my resolution 3x0 dot per inch. But if I change my resolution and back to it's original, it shows 96x96. Why is xdpyinfo showing wrong dpi in the beginning?
[15:25] <makara_> usr13: share files between 2 pcs using a crossover cable
[15:25] <usr13> makara_: You can't do that.  You need to have a password.
[15:25] <dean> ActionParsnip, How would I go about installing it? also if I wanted to remove it would it be easy to do?
[15:25] <makara_> usr13: for now
[15:25] <usr13> makara_: If you simply want to share files, use nfs
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> dean: you can install minimal kde or kubuntu-desktop and get the full kde goodness
[15:25] <atannus> jrib, I tried falling back 4 kernel versions, tried using the default nvidia drivers, tried upgrading to latest nvidia drivers, tried safe mode, nothing works.
[15:25] <makara_> craigbass1976: not sure why you're not getting the pdf option. do you have LibreOffice or OpenOffice installed?
[15:26] <usr13> !nfs | makara_
[15:26] <dean> ActionParsnip, Is there a best preference?
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> dean: its not so easy to get off but is defaintely doable
[15:26] <craigbass1976> makara_, libre
[15:26] <ionite> ochosi: but XP worked fine with my speakers. so i mean what should i install or something?
[15:26] <ionite> Why does my mp3 stutters even while switching windows or opeing a new tab??
[15:26] <usr13> makara_: If you want to simply transfer files from one to the other, use scp
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> dean: whichever you prefer, if you have loads of space available then go full fat
[15:26] <jrib> atannus: by "nothing works" do you mean that nothing changed or that did it fail in a different way?
[15:26] <atannus> jrib, with older kernels I can get to the login screen WITH NO OPTIONS BUT THE PASSWORD INPUT. That means, ActionParsnip, I CANNOT CHOOSE CLASSIC MODE.
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> atannus: lose the caps, it achieves nothing
[15:26] <dean> ActionParsnip, I have 56gb spare
[15:26] <atannus> jrib, same purple screen, different resolutions (apparently)
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> dean: that'll do
[15:27] <atannus> AceKing, OK, WILL DO.
[15:27] <atannus> AceKing, sory... meant to ActionParsnip
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> atannus: try the boot option: nomodeset   you probably have a crappy intel gpu
[15:27] <dean> ActionParsnip, When I log in and choose kubuntu can I still use files that are in Ubuntu such as video music and pictures?
[15:27] <atannus> ActionParsnip, the crappy intel gpu worked fine on 10.10.
[15:27] <usr13> makara_: If want to share files, use nfs  Set statick IPs for both systems and set up nfs share on one and make a fstab entry on the other to perminately mount the share on the other.
[15:28] <makara_> usr13: i just want to get something to work. all these options are driving me nuts
[15:28] <jrib> atannus: does "recovery mode" behave differently?
[15:28] <atannus> jrib, boots into a prompt.
[15:28] <atannus> jrib, pointless since I can ssh into that machine from other boxes.
[15:28] <jrib> atannus: can you pastebin /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> atannus: then nomodeset may be needed, some display stuff in 11.04 is ni teh kernel, which is why it works in Maverick
[15:28] <usr13> makara_: Sorry.  But again, if you just tell me what you want to do, I can help you. For now, do you just want to make ssh connection?
[15:29] <ionite> Why does my mp3 stutters even while switching windows or opeing a new tab??
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> atannus: different kernel, different issues. Something working in an older version doesn't mean as much as you think
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> ionite: how much RAM do you have?
[15:29] <BluesKaj> makara_, I agree with usr13, nfs works well for file transfer and access
[15:29] <makara_> anything! i've never got an ethernet cable to connect 2 ubuntu computers in my whole life!
[15:30] <ionite> ActionParsnip: 512
[15:30] <atannus> http://pastebin.com/gX8AFHPF
[15:30] <makara_> if this works I'm opening a bottle of champaigne tonight
[15:30] <usr13> makara_: On the contrary, you have just now.  (you said you could ping the other machine, right?)
[15:30] <jrib> atannus: by the way, does ctrl-alt-f1 get you to a tty and away from the purple screen?
[15:30] <makara_> usr13: that's worth a peach schnapps
[15:31] <atannus> ActionParsnip, Ok. When Ubuntu doesn't work, its my working hardware's fault. Your should be hired by Microsoft, dude.
[15:31] <atannus> They'll love yah.
[15:31] <usr13> makara_: Do you want to connect via ssh from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>  or  from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>  ?
[15:31] <atannus> jrib, lemme check
[15:31] <jrib> atannus: please... stay on-topic
[15:31] <makara_> usr13: yes
[15:32] <atannus> jrib, no.
[15:32] <usr13> makara_: see my pm
[15:32] <atannus> jrib, the only think that responds is ctrl-alt-del
[15:32] <jrib> atannus: try what ActionParsnip suggested by pressing 'e' at the grub screen to edit the kernel line.  I was going to suggest removing "splash" but I suppose trying a few variations will not hurt
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> atannus: no, just that the OS is different so may not work as you expect. Did you try the nomodeset boot option?
[15:33] <atannus> jrib, tried removing splash.
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> ionite: should be ok. Does it affect all media playing apps
[15:33] <mman> im trying to instal atk-1.30 lib and when doing ./configure i get this error: pkg-config --modversion glib-2.0' returned 2.28.8, but GLIB (2.28.6) was found! ...
[15:33] <atannus> ActionParsnip, yes, I did.
[15:33] <jrib> atannus: remove 'quiet' too, it might provide more information
[15:33] <atannus> jrib, also tried to remove quiet. I said I tried _all_ forum fixes, and none worked.
[15:34]  * jrib has not memorized all forum fixes...
[15:34] <atannus> jrib, ActionParsnip I'm not lying when I say I've read and tried forums, guys...
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> atannus: try the boot option:  intel.blacklist=1
[15:34] <mman> im trying to install gtk+3
[15:34] <atannus> ActionParsnip, jrib you know what, I've been at this for 5 hours, I'm gonna do a clean install... thanks.
[15:34] <jrib> atannus: ok
[15:34] <atannus> The upgrade was acciental anyways!!!!!!
[15:35] <mman> is the gtk3 already in repositories?
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> atannus: nice, personally  always clean install, fewer issues
[15:35] <atannus> jrib, ActionParsnip thanks for your time.
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> mman: for Oneiric, yes otherwise no
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> atannus: np man :)
[15:35] <atannus> ActionParsnip, the upgrade was accidental... new guy in the office...
[15:36] <atannus> I tried Unity couple weeks into beta and hated it...
[15:36] <atannus> I'd give it another try now, but too much hassle... maybe in a few months.
[15:36] <atannus> cheers folks
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> !gnome3 | mman
[15:38] <ionite> how do i install pulse audio?
[15:39] <administrator__> hi there
[15:39] <mman> ActionParsnip, I want to install glade for making gui for c++ or do you recommend me other program?
[15:40] <wai1234> Hi. Need help with a server config problem (10.04 LTS)
[15:40] <Narc> Hello everyone. I really need your help here. Two months ago, I installed Ubuntu 11.04 on an old Toshiba Satellite for a friend, and I'm running into issue after issue. Now it's almost working thanks to Kernel 2.6.38-10 but the network stops working after a while. I think it's a network module problem. Here's the kernel log: http://pastebin.com/72VCnKFT  I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks...
[15:43] <wai1234> 10.04 LTS server using an old laptop with lid switch that turns off screen.  UB6 did NOT sleep with lid closed but 10 DOES.  How do I turn this off? This is NOT a GUI config question, it's a server.
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> mman: python makes nice GUIs
[15:43] <dli> Narc, the kernel log shows NIC working, but you got problem with system apic
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> wai1234: afaik, the screen will simply dim after some time
[15:44] <wai1234> Nope, the machine tries to sleep/suspend when I close the lid.
[15:44] <dli> Narc, also, 8139too is quite stable for me, can you boot with kernel parameters: acpi=off no apic
[15:44] <wai1234> I don't want sleep EVER
[15:44] <Narc> dli: That's the part about using a strange power saving mode, is it ?
[15:45] <wai1234> I assume it's a power management configuration issue.
[15:45] <mman> ActionParsnip, but I want something easy to make GUI, something like "visual basic" that is easy to create guis
[15:46] <dli> Narc, try noapic first
[15:46] <Narc> dli: I tried these with older kernel but never with this one because acpi=off tends to screw everything, including network, but I'll try that right now. Thanks for your help.
[15:46] <dli> Narc, try combinations with acpi=off and noapic
[15:46] <mman> ActionParsnip, with Qt i think it is possible
[15:47] <Narc> dli: I'm trying that right now... We'll see :)
[15:47] <dli> Narc, since you mentioned "old machine", it might be an overheating problem, try to improve system cooling
[15:49] <usr13> What is the command to get apt-get to just download openssh-server  (just to get the .deb file)
[15:49] <usr13> ?
[15:50] <rumpe1> usr13, --download-only
[15:50] <rumpe1> usr13, oh... maybe wrong. "apt-get download <package>"
[15:50] <M0TRN_th1> hey, does anyone know a cool media-center / music player thing for ubuntu that has a remote control app for Android?
[15:51] <M0TRN_th1> I want to make the android control the music in the house speakers
[15:51] <oCean> usr13: apt-get install openssh-server --download-only
[15:51] <oCean> usr13: then it's in /var/cache/apt/archives
[15:52] <Narc> dli: Yeah, it's really an issue, but my friend already bought a base with fans to cool it. I cleaned it the best I could...
[15:53] <dli> Narc, taking out the CD-ROM drive, if you can
[15:55] <Starman83> Is there a way to disable xdm ?
[15:55] <Starman83> I don't want it to start every time I boot
[15:55] <Narc> dli: I'd try that. What it need is RAM, but I don't even want to try. noapic seems to solve it as far as I can tell...  I have two partitions on my 1TB drive, one for windows, and one that I just formatted through GParted. When I get to the "Allocate Drive Space" screen, it lists no devices, says /dev/sda beneath "Device for boot installation", and doesn't give me the drop-down menu.
[16:20] <t4nk678> is there an alternative of using XDisplayHeightMM?
[16:20] <phoenixsampras> where is the python executable located?
[16:21] <oCean> phoenixsampras: use   which python
[16:21] <tensorpudding> phoenixsampras: /usr/bin/python
[16:21] <tensorpudding> phoenixsampras: it's usually a link to /usr/bin/pythonX.X
[16:21] <tyler_d> same error
[16:21] <tensorpudding> for a particular version
[16:21] <tensorpudding> so that you may have multiple versions of python installed at once
[16:21] <phoenixsampras> tensorpudding: thank you bri
[16:22] <phoenixsampras> bro
[16:22] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: are you sure your card takes the latest version?
[16:23] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: it is a GT330M which I have confirmed to work with the lastest so yes
[16:24] <brickwall> I need this fixed urgently: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1818887 Thanks in advance
[16:24] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: are you on 11.04?
[16:24] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: yes I am
[16:24] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: 32 bit
[16:25] <bkerensa> brickwall: I need specs and more before I can take a stab at it
[16:25] <dr_willis> brickwall,  at least summarize the issue here. Most people will just ignore a question that is just a URL,
[16:25] <brickwall> bkerensa: Like what type? I thought the alsa thing would be enough
[16:26] <brickwall> So, it seems that ubuntu has absolutely no idea that this laptop has a microphone. In the audio preferences there is only one audio input: Analog audio
[16:26] <brickwall> Alsa info: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=43...447219202ddb0e
[16:26] <OmegaForte> bkerensa, The mic he wants to use is built into the webcam on the laptop.
[16:26] <bkerensa> OmegaForte: Ahh
[16:26] <makara_> suppose I mount an iso. how can I navigate through the folders of the iso from the terminal?
[16:26] <designbybeck> anyone know how to fix suspend/hibernate problems in Ubuntu 11.04
[16:27] <designbybeck> Last I tried didn't fix anything
[16:27] <dr_willis> makara_,  same as you would any other directories..
[16:27] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: how can I tell what package is refering to nvidia-glx?
[16:27] <dr_willis> makara_,  via cd, ls and so on
[16:27] <chenshaoju> you can google it.
[16:27] <makara_> i thought I would find it in /mnt but there's nothing there, nor in /media
[16:27] <M0TRN_th1> dr_willis, I found "mpd" which also has it and it works great, just can't control more than one mixer channel which is a shame since I want to adjust hte volume for each room
[16:27] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: apt-cache rdepends nvidia-glx             what I use
[16:28] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: or wait, maybe aptitude why nvidia-glx
[16:28] <OmegaForte> brickwall, This line tells me that the mic is known, but not detected/activated/supported. Pin Default 0x95a70120: [Fixed] Mic at Int Top
[16:28] <OmegaForte>     Conn = Analog, Color = Unknown

[16:28] <OmegaForte>     Misc = NO_PRESENCE
[16:28] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Oh, yes. I asked you earlier :P
[16:28] <MeXTuX> I have a dual boot system: Windows is /dev/sda and Ubuntu is /dev/sdb. Yesterday I started to receive messages about the Windows disk. They say "SMART STATUS: Disk failure is imminent". I wanna remove the windows disk and know that I will need to boot with a live CD and reinstall grub. Are there any other tasks to accomplish??? Tnx in advance :)
[16:28] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: based on thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=808247 and it does show as referenced from some "other" package
[16:29] <csdwifi> i've got a samba share at smb://csdserver/supshare, I'm able to access it and write to it from this PC, but for instance I'm running a bittorrent and would like to save the torrent to the remote share without first having to download it to the local system. how do i bypass this?
[16:29] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: have you tried removing the driver, and reinstall using the restricted driver manager?
[16:29] <bkerensa> OmegaForte: He could edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[16:29] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: 2 times now
[16:29] <epzil0n> MeXTuX: do you use Grub now?
[16:29] <edbian> MeXTuX: That should be it.  Make a backup of that drive ASAP
[16:29] <bkerensa> OmegaForte: and activate then restart
[16:30] <brickwall> OmegaForte: So, how do I fix it? Thanks for helping.
[16:30] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: apt-get remove --purge `dpkg -l | grep nvidia`
[16:30] <edbian> MeXTuX: If I were you I would take it out of the case entirely until you do the backup
[16:30] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: apt-get remove --purge `dpkg -l | grep nvidia` with an awk and some other stuff
[16:30] <OmegaForte> bkerensa, If it was known. It says no_presence. It doesn't see anything on the pin.
[16:30] <rumpe1> MeXTuX, easiest way would be to put the bootloader to sdb from running linux
[16:30] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: but you used the gui to reinstall. right?
[16:30] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Go ahead and try what bkerensa said; He could edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-bas
[16:30] <szal> MeXTuX: you should be able to just install Grub to sdb now
[16:30] <airyK> I need to make more space available in a specific folder with a second harddrive, but also make use of the current hdd space... Basically I'd like to combine two drives and increase the space of that specific folder. Is this possible ?
[16:30] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: you got it
[16:30] <dr_willis> csdwifi,  you can mounta windows share to a directory via the fstab and it will be writeable to as any othe directory.
[16:30] <dabbish> When I open a document with Chinese text in Gedit it comes out like this: "ÑéÖ€ÂëŽíÎó". What can I do to make it display properly?
[16:31] <szal> MeXTuX: and while you're at it, just out of curiosity, could you please pastebin 'sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda'?
[16:31] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Okay
[16:31] <bkerensa> brickwall: Sometimes its alsa-base.conf on newer releases
[16:31] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: my last shot in the dark would be to try the beta/alpha drivers in the xorg ppa
[16:31] <rumpe1> dabbish, you probably need the language-pack
[16:31] <bkerensa> brickwall: Just make sure to restart alsa
[16:32] <rumpe1> dabbish, search for "zh" in your package manager
[16:32] <brickwall> bkerensa: So, what do I edit in it?
[16:32] <ChogyDan> tyler_d: like https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates
[16:33] <MeXTuX> szal this is the command output http://paste.ubuntu.com/659394/
[16:33] <dabbish> rumpe1, thanks, I will
[16:34] <bkerensa> brickwall: Look for options snd-hda-intel
[16:34] <dabbish> rumpe1, SCIM Input Method?
[16:34] <zoLevDotCom> Hi!
[16:34] <bkerensa> brickwall: If you find it let me know what the full line is on paste.ubuntu.com
[16:34] <rumpe1> dabbish, scim is needed for input, not output
[16:34] <tyler_d> ChogyDan: gross. I'm sorry to hear that. the apt-cache rdepends returns only <nvidia-glx>
[16:34] <csdwifi> dr willis - it is writable from this machine, it's mountd in nautilus, it's working great.  but if, say, i'm downloading locally, nautilus doesn't let me browse to it on the left pane, even if it's mounted and bookmarked.  i guess the thing i really should do, to make it simpler, is find a way to run my download services off my wired pc
[16:35] <e0s7> question...if youre connecting to a socks proxy via a ssh box, then use that to tunnel traffic between your browser to another server, does that get logged anywhere in the proxy box?..proxy box is a linux distro
[16:35] <antit> hi, anyone try linux on Acer timelineX 4830TG ?
[16:35] <dr_willis> csdserver,  nautiuls mounts it to the .gvfs directory somewhere.. Using the fstab method would let YOU mount it where you want.
[16:35] <dabbish> rumpe1, Normally Chinese displays fine.  But this document that I downloaded does not
[16:36] <csdwifi> ok, i'll get my feet wet on that, i've worked with fstab a bit earlier today
[16:36] <edbian> e0s7: It will log the initial connection but nothing about what data is passed through it.  (cat /var/log/auth.log)
[16:36] <szal> MeXTuX: 5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct   0x0033   134   134   140    Pre-fail  Always   FAILING_NOW 523 <- this thing is through, as it looks..  raw error rate is low, but still, that here's what counts
[16:36] <brickwall> All I see with the work 'intel' in it is: options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
[16:36] <bkerensa> k one sec
[16:36] <rumpe1> dabbish, well... there exist hundreds of different encodings for chinese. Or maybe it's broken. Hard to say.
[16:36] <e0s7> edbian: thanks, and to see traffic they could use wireshark took or something to see what i pass through...the requests but not the payload since its encrypted
[16:37] <LiquidsnakeX> hiiiiiiiiiii admins
[16:37] <dabbish> rumpe1, Ok thanks
[16:37] <airyK> Is it possible to map 2 drives to a single folder?
[16:37] <edbian> e0s7: That is my understanding yes.
[16:37] <LiquidsnakeX> i have a problemmmmmmm
[16:37] <edbian> LiquidsnakeX: what is it
[16:37] <e0s7> edbian: ok thanks
[16:37] <edbian> airyK: If you're talking about mounting, not
[16:37] <edbian> no*
[16:37] <dr_willis> airyK,  depends on what you are trying to do..
[16:37] <edbian> e0s7: sure
[16:37] <bkerensa> brickwall: Try switching that 2 to 0 then save and restart alsa
[16:37] <szal> LiquidsnakeX: you might wannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnt to type normallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :P
[16:37] <antit> i have no sound with snd_hda_intel
[16:37] <LiquidsnakeX> lol just trying to catch some attention that's all <3
[16:38] <dr_willis> airyK,  there are 'fuse' tools that let you do some neat tricks like the unionfs and so on.
[16:38] <joewlan> hi I use wpa supplicant to authenticate eth0 on a LAN, I have a AP capable wlan0 on the same machine and want to allow other pc to connect to the LAN via WLAN, what do I need to do now?
[16:38] <szal> LiquidsnakeX: bad idea, you're more likely to be ignored that way
[16:38] <dabbish> LiquidsnakeX, Keyboard problem? ;)
[16:38] <airyK> It's for fog project and i'd love to map a second drive to my /images/ directory
[16:38] <cgtdk> DR ZAIUS, DR ZAIUS!
[16:38] <Mikelevel> cgtdk: no escribas todo en mayusculas, va contra las normas. La proxima vez seras expulsado.
[16:38] <LiquidsnakeX> ANY admin here to help me with my problem ?
[16:38] <dr_willis> airyK,  you can easially mount a hd to some sub directory somewhere else on the filesystem
[16:38] <t4nk678> xdpyinfo shows resolution to be 3x0 dpi, if I change the resolution and change it again to it's original. It shows 96x96 dpi, how can I fix this?
[16:38] <LiquidsnakeX> i have this old compaq presario 2226 CL it came with windows xp home edition
[16:38] <MeXTuX> szal so I suppose I need to start to backup all my info :S
[16:38] <airyK> fuse tools
[16:39] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: Im not an admin but can help :)
[16:39] <airyK> I'll have to look this up
[16:39] <LiquidsnakeX> and the drivers are not for ubuntu os
[16:39] <LiquidsnakeX> thanks bkerensa
[16:39] <dr_willis>  airyK  instead of /media/disk1 and /media/disk2   you could have   /media/disk1    and /media/disk1/disk2
[16:39] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: Do you want to put Ubuntu on it?
[16:39] <brickwall> How do I restart alsa?
[16:39] <oCean> LiquidsnakeX: describe your issue in single line please
[16:39] <aman> hi guys, is there any tool like Visual Studio in linux? I wanted to debug my code using breakpoint.
[16:39] <LiquidsnakeX> i have this compaq presario 2226 CL and i don't have the proper drivers for ubuntu , as it came with windows xp home edition
[16:39] <dury> hi there channel  ;)
[16:39] <LiquidsnakeX> yes i want to try Ubuntu on it
[16:40] <airyK> Would I have to mount that using fuse ?
[16:40] <t4nk678> aman, use GDB
[16:40] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: Have you already install Ubuntu on it?
[16:40] <szal> LiquidsnakeX: define 'proper drivers'
[16:40] <Apage43> So, I've got ubuntu installed on a UEFI system, straight off the 11.04 disk. It's asking me to do a software update, which says it cannot proceed correctly and then wants to do a dist-upgrade which will remove the EFI grub and install a BIOS grub
[16:40] <Apage43> this is probably not right. is there a fix?
[16:40] <dr_willis> airyK,  fuse is for fancier things..   seems you are just talking abut mounting to a location yu want.
[16:40] <aman> t4nk678, can i see every variable value like we see in VS?
[16:41] <t4nk678> yes
[16:41] <brickwall> There does not seem to be a /etc/init.d/ type thing
[16:41] <LiquidsnakeX> the proper drivers, which will work on ubuntu without any confilct or problem
[16:41] <LiquidsnakeX> bkerensa no
[16:41] <airyK> Exactly dr_willis, just a single folder... currently I have the second hdd setup with fstab and mounted to my specific folder. In this case /images/
[16:41] <t4nk678> aman: you have to print them out yourself, of course.
[16:41] <szal> LiquidsnakeX: define 'proper drivers'
[16:41] <e0s7> how can i block an ip from trying to connect to my ssh server
[16:42] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: You should be ok to just install from cd or USB and if you need drivers just use the additional drivers section once you install Ubuntu and you can grab them
[16:42] <dr_willis> airyK,  you could mont other drives to /images/disk2  and /images/disk3  and so on.
[16:42] <rumpe1> e0s7, fail2ban
[16:42] <aman> t4nk678, i mean like we do in VS, we move cursor over a variable and it shows the value of that variable.
[16:42] <dr_willis> e0s7,  sshd deamon configs has settings for that.
[16:42] <nikk> hello, i just installed the LAMP server using tasksel and php files are downloading instead of displaying, but only in the userdir.  what configuration setting am i missing?
[16:42] <airyK> I'm not sure if fog will be able to work with that - Everything has to be in that one specific directory
[16:43] <e0s7> can i use hosts.deny?
[16:43] <e0s7> or is that just for apache or something
[16:43] <t4nk678> aman: gdb does not have a gui, so no
[16:43] <aman> t4nk678, any other options?
[16:44] <Hachya> for PHP files downloading is sounds like the host isn't reading the PHP module properly, thus the browser downloads the page....
[16:44] <bkerensa> LiquidsnakeX: I just did a Google for your device and people do run Ubuntu on it out of the box so if you want Ubuntu just install it and if you have any issues IRC & Forums are here day and night :)
[16:44] <raptor6768> hi
[16:44] <nikk> Hachya, that seems accurate
[16:45] <t4nk678> aman: I believe eclipse has a plugin for c/c++, give that a try
[16:45] <kostik> hi all
[16:45] <aman> t4nk678, even i was thinking for the same, but some one told me that is eclipse is good for java only.
[16:45] <brickwall> I did alsa force-reload
[16:45] <brickwall> And it didn't work
[16:46] <Hachya> member:nikk: do you have a PHP info file on the serevr?
[16:46] <t4nk678> aman: you have to get the plugin for c/c++
[16:46] <nikk> Hachya, ok, so apparently, after modifying php.conf, one has to clear the browser cache.
[16:46] <t4nk678> aman: look for DDD
[16:46] <nikk> Hachya, it works now. thank you :D
[16:46] <Hachya> nikk: oh yeah....
[16:46] <aman> t4nk678, ok thanks buddy :)
[16:46] <Hachya> nikk: that helps :D
[16:46] <ministerdude> I'm still kind of retarded in ubuntu. How come my pics when I save them. It saves them sideways?
[16:46] <nikk> Hachya, love it when the fix is that simple ;)
[16:46] <t4nk678> aman: it's a graphcial debugger for gdb
[16:46] <Hachya> nikk: almost never XD
[16:46] <bkerensa> brickwall: Very odd... I did some searching and notice people do run into issues sometimes with webcam mics but I encourage you to continue to try and get resolved
[16:46] <t4nk678> aman: you're welcome, good luck
[16:47] <bkerensa> ministerdude: Are you rotating them or what?
[16:47] <ministerdude> Nope. In my email their correct but when I hit save their sideways
[16:47] <brickwall> bkerensa: It's actually not my computer. Someone asked advice on what computer to get and we went out to buy it. I then installed ubuntu on it.
[16:48] <bkerensa> brickwall: Hmm...
[16:48] <OmegaForte> brickwall, What driver in windows does it use?
[16:49] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Like the driver suite that came with the device?
[16:49] <brickwall> bkerensa: And they are going to another country tomorrow (I wiped windows)
[16:49] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Completely redid the partition table.
[16:50] <ministerdude> How do I unrotate them from the pic album?
[16:50] <OmegaForte> brickwall, So? you tend to get a driver CD with most of these things. I need to know what it runs driver wise.
[16:50] <adam__> Hi all.  Does anyone have a suggestion for an PCI-E interface sata controllre for a low cost NAS rig?
[16:51] <brickwall> OmegaForte: They don't come like that anymore :P
[16:51] <hwilde> adam__, just buy a drobo?
[16:51] <guibou> Hi. Anyone can helps me understand why the memory resident size set repported by top is totally different from the maximum resident size set reported by time on the same process ?
[16:51] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Well I still need the info so I can dig for you
[16:51] <dr_willis> !ram
[16:51] <BluesKaj> adam__, this ubuntu support not hardware
[16:52] <[THC]AcidRain> bah
[16:52] <uosiu> hi all
[16:52] <brickwall> OmegaForte: I'll take a look at acer's site.
[16:52] <[THC]AcidRain> konversion irc client is epic fail
[16:52] <hwilde> guibou, type  "free"
[16:52] <uosiu> How to declare in my custompkg.deb to force overwrite a file from other package?
[16:53] <mega1> ifconfig
[16:53] <guibou> hwilde: free only gives me the current amount for the whole system. I want to know for a given program, at the end of its run, how much max memory it tooks.
[16:53] <[THC]AcidRain> zomg
[16:54] <[THC]AcidRain> hax are upon us
[16:54] <centr0> how the hell do i turn off that loud beep everytime i restart/shutdown?
[16:54] <kostik> I think here present only english
[16:54] <guibou> dr_willis: and really, I thank you for your "You are dumb answer" ;)
[16:55] <BluesKaj> [THC]AcidRain, if it was really epic , your pc would blow up
[16:55] <[THC]AcidRain> centr0 its in sound preferences
[16:55] <hwilde> guibou,  how are you getting memory usage from time ?
[16:55] <mega1> can some help me with my networking problem
[16:55] <hwilde> !ask | mega1
[16:55] <guibou> hwilde: /usr/bin/time --format '%M'
[16:55] <[THC]AcidRain> BluesKaj, it did. this is my backup computer
[16:55] <kostik> rm -rf
[16:56] <centr0> [THC]AcidRain: is there anyway i can keep some sounds but not that beep on restart/shutdown?  all im seeing is use sounds or no sounds at all.
[16:56] <[THC]AcidRain> just in the event that konversion did blow me up
[16:56] <OmegaForte> mega1, What actually is the problem...I saw you earlier going on about an adapter being in a different location.
[16:56] <[THC]AcidRain> centr0, yeah. i have it turned off on mine. let me see how i did it. ill pm you when i find out
[16:56] <hwilde> guibou, ok and how much discrepancy are you seeing?  because top only polls every x seconds so you might miss the peak obviously
[16:56] <BluesKaj> mega1, I tried to help you , but you didn't respond to my questions about your situation
[16:56] <centr0> [THC]AcidRain: thanks.
[16:56] <epifanio> hi all
[16:56] <guibou> hwilde: top says 600 Mo, times says 2.4Go
[16:56] <BluesKaj> [THC]AcidRain, bummer :)
[16:56] <epifanio> cvan i receive support about ubuntu 11.10 here ?
[16:56] <mega1> ubuntu server10.04 HD movied from one computer to another now cant access it nor can it access the internet
[16:57] <kostik> epicfanio, whats up?
[16:57] <[THC]AcidRain> oh centr0, yeah. system > preferences > sound
[16:57] <hwilde> guibou, interesting, I am also seeing approximatley 4x difference
[16:57] <Myrtti> epifanio: try #ubuntu+1
[16:57] <hwilde> is this a bits/bytes thing?
[16:57] <[THC]AcidRain> under window > login. right click on the "default" and chose disabled
[16:57] <OmegaForte> mega1, Yeah that's because you transplated into a system with different hardware and it wasn't built on it, so now you have to build or install your drivers manually.
[16:57] <epifanio> after an apt-get update , upgrade .. it stop to works (before it was working)
[16:57] <guibou> hwilde: I don't know. The man says "bytes"
[16:58] <BluesKaj> !who | mega1
[16:58] <epifanio> .. the problem is the battery check step (i know my battery is in a bad state .. but it's really odd it doesn't allow me to boot)
[16:58] <epifanio>  it stop the boot promp at the step : check battery state
[16:58] <centr0> thanks,.
[16:58] <trism> uosiu: may want to read: http://wiki.debian.org/Adding%20and%20removing%20diversions in addition to the linked Appendix G
[16:58] <[THC]AcidRain> welcome
[16:58] <[THC]AcidRain> :)
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> epifanio: hold shift at boot and select recovery mode, then select root and install gnome-power-manager
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> epifanio: fixed it for me
[17:00] <hwilde> guibou, all of these things are probably based on   /proc/PID/status
[17:00] <epifanio> great!!!
[17:00] <epifanio> i'll do it nopw
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> epifanio: you want netroot ;)
[17:01] <nmvictor> does linux support USB 3.0 through the uhci or through xhci, I cant see xhci hub in my computer or doesn't ubuntu support usb 3.0 yet?
[17:01] <[THC]AcidRain> so many hax
[17:02] <[THC]AcidRain> gffsadf
[17:02] <nmvictor> does ubuntu support usb 3.0?
[17:03] <Pici> [THC]AcidRain: We don't need that sort of extra commentary in this already busy channel.
[17:03] <OmegaForte> nmvictor, Mine works, just don't know if I get the full speed yet.
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> nmvictor: http://askubuntu.com/questions/12139/does-ubuntu-support-usb-3-0
[17:03] <brickwall> OmegaForte: It's a driver made by Conexant, called audio driver. It's version on the site is <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:03] <[THC]AcidRain> 10-4
[17:04] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Care to send me the info you found..
[17:04] <[THC]AcidRain> Pici, im like a little high school kid in the public school system that smarts off to the teacher every so often knowing i can get away with it.
[17:04] <[THC]AcidRain> thats what i do to you. but im done for now :)
[17:04] <brickwall> OmegaForte: It's some type of AJAX thing... I can't give you the link... Except I can give you the link to the AJAX thing: http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers

[17:05] <boywonder> hi can anyone help me mount my network drive?
[17:05] <OmegaForte> !ask | boywonder
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> boywonder: use nautilus   file -> connect to serve
[17:06] <boywonder> Omega, i dont have smbfs of cifs, i tried to install sudo apt- get install smbfs but
[17:06] <mrmcgibby> what's the proper way to configure a system with two nics where one nic is DHCP and the connected to the internet, and the other is just a private nic with a static IP?  The system keeps trying to use the non-internet nic to get to the internet.  There are two default routes
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> !ics | mrmcgibby
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> mrmcgibby: you should just need to set the internal nic to static IP with no default gateway
[17:08] <fructose> Pardon my frustration, but how the hell do I get 11.04 to stop freezing on me every damn day? I've tried using Gnome (Classic) instead of Unity, but it still decides to entirely freeze except the mouse
[17:08] <mrmcgibby> ActionParsnip: Network Manager won't let me do that.
[17:08] <boywonder> hi can anyone help me mount my network drive?
[17:08] <nmvictor> ActionParsnip: How do I confirm I have the xhci module installed, coz I only see Universal Host Controlers listed as available logical root USB hubs
[17:08] <mrmcgibby> fructose: anything in the logs?
[17:08] <[THC]AcidRain> boywonder, pick me!
[17:08] <OmegaForte> !ask | boywonder
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> mrmcgibby: I'd use /etc/network/interfaces for the internal
[17:09] <fructose> mrmcgibby: Which log? I'll be glad to look
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> nmvictor: lsmod | grep hc   should show it
[17:09] <mrmcgibby> i look at all of them
[17:09] <[THC]AcidRain> boywonder, do you want this drive to be accessible to the entire network?
[17:09] <mrmcgibby> ls -ltr to find the one most recently modified
[17:09] <boywonder> stupid ask what when someone should tell me the course?
[17:09] <nmvictor> ahci                   21591  7
[17:09] <nmvictor> libahci                25548  1 ahci
[17:09] <nmvictor> ActionParsnip: ^
[17:10] <fructose> mrmcgibby: I had to reboot, so will that still be useful?
[17:10] <iceroot> boywonder: what is it? nfs? cifs?
[17:10] <mrmcgibby> ActionParsnip: When I do that, then run route, it seems that it's still taking too long to decide what nic should be the default route
[17:10] <[THC]AcidRain> boywonder, i would format your drive to a ext3
[17:10] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Try this...http://www.linuxant.com/alsa-driver/archive/alsa-driver-linuxant-<IP_ADDRESS>/alsa-driver-linuxant_<IP_ADDRESS>_all.deb.zip
[17:10] <boywonder> [THC]AcidRain, format un possible
[17:10] <[THC]AcidRain> why?
[17:10] <mrmcgibby> fructose: are you sure you need to reboot?   It apparently goes down to X, so restarting Unity/Gnome doesn't help
[17:12] <iceroot> boywonder: and the drive is running on windows?
[17:12] <Scunizi> I'm looking for openstreetmap in the repos and all I see are icon sets.. with perhaps a reference to "maptool".. what am I missing here?
[17:12] <boywonder> iceroot, its a network drive
[17:12] <iceroot> boywonder: ok from a storage? (nas)
[17:12] <OmegaForte> brickwall, If that doesn't do you any good, welcome to Known bug/Idea #5537
[17:13] <mrmcgibby> fructose: if you can get to a console, you can look at the logs from there
[17:13] <boywonder> iceroot, i dunno what that means i can tell you that i can access the shares in ubuntu
[17:13] <boywonder> iceroot, i need to mount it in fstab
[17:13] <iceroot> boywonder: ok and you want to permanently mount the drive?
[17:13] <iceroot> boywonder: ok
[17:13] <brickwall> One second...
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> nmvictor: then you have ahci loaded
[17:14] <iceroot> boywonder: with what you access the drive from ubuntu? if you access the drive have a look at "mount" if it is nfs or cifs
[17:14] <fructose> mrmcgibby: I'm well aware that I have logs... I'm just not aware of how that helps right now. I don't know which one to look in or what to look for
[17:14] <boywonder> iceroot, ok
[17:14] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Here's proof of KNOWN BUG. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/815006
[17:14] <glebihan> Scunizi, what exactly do you need ? openstreetmap is a set of packages containing different applications
[17:14] <Zh3ka> hello evryone
[17:14] <nmvictor> When my system starts, it dims off, I have to adust brightness back to normal with the fn combination. Suspend and hibernate dont work. I am running Natty with linux-kernel 2.6.38-8-generic on Acer 5734z machine. Is this a BUG?
[17:14] <mrmcgibby> fructose: that's the point of looking at logs.  If you don't know what's wrong, you can perhaps start nailing now the issue
[17:14] <uosiu> Hi again
[17:14] <glebihan> Scunizi, http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ubuntu
[17:15] <Zh3ka> 1 question - can ubuntu run windows games ?
[17:15] <uosiu> next step of my problem with file divertions
[17:15] <boywonder> iceroot, its cifs
[17:15] <mrmcgibby> yes
[17:15] <uosiu> http://wklej.org/id/572632/ this is my problem with package with file colission. divertion is activated
[17:15] <Scunizi> glebihan: I thought there was one main file for install.. I"ve got a .gpx file I'm trying to open and view the route.
[17:15] <nmvictor> ActionParsnip: does ahci module support usb 3.0 too?
[17:15] <OmegaForte> Zh3ka, Wine can, but it's hit or miss. Go to appdb.winehq.org and search.
[17:15] <iceroot> boywonder: ok, so its using also credentials?
[17:15] <iceroot> boywonder: user/password?
[17:16] <boywonder> iceroot, yes
[17:16] <glebihan> Scunizi, openstreetmap is a data format and database, and there are several applications that can use that data
[17:17] <glebihan> Scunizi, have a look at the link I gave you in order to find what package you need to install
[17:17] <[THC]AcidRain> what irc client does everyone use?
[17:17] <fructose> mrmcgibby: Again, pardon my frustration, but it's pretty useless to be simply told to look in the logs. There are many, many logs in many different locations
[17:17] <rww> [THC]AcidRain: ask bestbot in #ubuntu-bots
[17:17] <Scunizi> glebihan: did.. the link was enlightening.. thanks. I also found that I can open the file in G-Earth as well.. kinda nice..
[17:18] <OmegaForte> rww, What's that off-topic flag?
[17:18] <boywonder> iceroot, i think i have the correct page todo this just it installs smbfs for some reason?
[17:18] <rww> OmegaForte: I don't understand the question. Rephrase?
[17:18] <iceroot> boywonder: //<IP_ADDRESS>/music media/Musik cifs credentials=/home/otto/.smbcredentials 0 0
[17:18] <OmegaForte> rww, The dingus that tells the bot that this isn't the off-topic channel.
[17:18] <iceroot> boywonder: that is an example for fstab
[17:18] <rww> OmegaForte: oh, factoid. !offtopic or !ot
[17:18] <llutz> Scunizi: try "viking" for displaying gpx-tracks/-waypoints etc.
[17:19] <OmegaForte> rww, Ah, thanks.
[17:19] <llutz> !info viking
[17:19] <boywonder> iceroot, so i dont need smbfs?
[17:20] <iceroot> boywonder: you need it because that is pulling mount.cifs
[17:20] <brickwall> Build failed
[17:20] <Scunizi> llutz: thanks.
[17:20] <iceroot> boywonder: the package cifs-utils is pulling the same
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: won't you need to escape the space?
[17:20] <OmegaForte> Well brickwall Welcome to bug 815006
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> iceroot: ahh you missed the first slash of media, thats all
[17:20] <acidrain> bestbot lies to me
[17:20] <mrmcgibby> fructose: Do you want to solve the problem or not?  When it freezes, go into /var/log, find the most recently modified log and see if something useful was recently added.  The cause might be a number of things.  You might find nothing, you might find something.  That's the nature of troubleshooting issues.  If I knew what the problem was, then I'd tell you what log to look in, but I don't.
[17:20] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: :)
[17:21] <iceroot> ActionParsnip: yes you are right
[17:21] <brickwall> OmegaForte: If it was just a build issue why can't it be fixed?
[17:21] <iceroot> boywonder: in my example the is a / missing before "media§
[17:21] <OmegaForte> brickwall, It's a known bug. That package build is what, two years old?
[17:21] <[THC]AcidRain> how do i make nickserv send me an email notification of my password?
[17:21] <rww> [THC]AcidRain: ask #freenode
[17:22] <brickwall> Build from source?
[17:22] <[THC]AcidRain> rww is a horrible bot.
[17:22] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Yeah, the source isn't maintained or this wouldn't be an issue.
[17:22] <OmegaForte> [THC]AcidRain, Find a place.
[17:23] <brickwall> OmegaForte: So, should I build it from source?
[17:23] <OmegaForte> brickwall, You could try it.
[17:23] <h00k> [THC]AcidRain: rww is not a bot, but #freenode is the proper place to ask.
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> h00k: too funny though
[17:24] <brickwall> I can't find the source
[17:24] <iceroot> is it possible to encrypt a drive after it is also installed with ext4 and filled with data?
[17:24] <fructose> mrmcgibby: Alright. I'm just helplessly pissed that there isn't a better option.
[17:24] <iceroot> s/also/already/
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> fructose: wassup?
[17:25] <KM0201> fructose: a better option for what?
[17:25] <brickwall> OmegaForte: There is only a source RPM
[17:25] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Like I said, welcome to a known bug.
[17:25] <fructose> Getting my desktop to stop freezing on me everyd ay
[17:26] <KM0201> fructose: have you diagnosed why its freezing?.. ruled out hardware problems?
[17:26] <highness_> Is there some way to invoke a kickstart file from the live installation cd of ubuntu 10.04?
[17:27] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Is it possible to build it and then install it using alien?
[17:27] <fructose> KM0201: I don't know why it's freezing. I'm doubtful it's hardware, but have no evidence since I rarely use another OS on it
[17:27] <rww> !alien
[17:27] <fructose> KM0201: But it has never frozen in anything but 11.04
[17:27] <acehdev-dot-net> brotha how to upgrade kernel ubuntu 11.04
[17:28] <KM0201> fructose: if it's never froze on anything but 11.04, my first thought would be a problem w/ Unity oor maybe 3D drivers
[17:28] <KM0201> fructose: if you switch to gnome-2d, does this continue to be an issue?
[17:28] <fructose> KM0201: I've already switched to Gnome
[17:28] <fructose> KM0201: And even before, restarting unity wouldn't always solve it (though it did on a couple occasions)
[17:28] <brickwall> rww: Is it possible to build RPMs outside SUSE or Fedora?
[17:29] <brickwall> !apt
[17:29] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I'd just build it against make if possible. But like I'm telling you, it's a known bug. You're probably not going to be able to get much more. But don't be afraid to try stuff, but remember. If you don't take recursive backups, you may be setting up for failure.
[17:29] <KM0201> idunno, very weird
[17:29] <rww> brickwall: no idea
[17:29] <brickwall> OmegaForte: They give no .tar source file
[17:30] <mrmcgibby> fructose: so X isn't locking up?
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> fructose: tested your RAM?
[17:30] <prothon> join ##butterscrottcripple
[17:30] <fructose> KM0201: Not for me. Don't get me wrong, I've used Ubuntu since Warty, but I've had problems like this with Ubuntu with every computer I've ever owned
[17:30] <boywonder> iceroot, so if sudo apt-get install smbfs doesnt install what do i do?
[17:30] <fructose> mrmcgibby: The mouse still works, but I can't interact with anything
[17:30] <KM0201> fructose: i think if i had that many probs w/ any distro, i'd find another one.
[17:31] <lindenle> Hi all why does installing xubuntu-desktop require me to remove ubuntu-desktop?
[17:31] <fructose> KM0201: I'm stubborn I guess
[17:31] <fructose> KM0201: And I've had fewer problems with Ubuntu than some
[17:31] <OmegaForte> brickwall, That's because the source isn't maintained.
[17:32] <KM0201> fructose: i've used it since shortly before Dapper, and i very rarely have problems.
[17:32] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Is there another source?
[17:32] <mrmcgibby> fructose: yeah, X isn't crashing
[17:32] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I didn't find anything.
[17:33] <brickwall> OmegaForte: Did the company die or something?
[17:33] <OmegaForte> brickwall, If I had answers, you'd have them.
[17:33] <iceroot> boywonder: it does what you want
[17:34] <fructose> Well, actually, I think I may have solved the problem myself... now I just need help not letting it happen again...
[17:34] <brickwall> Okay... I think someone gave me the answer.
[17:34] <fructose> Somehow Sync to VBlank keeps getting turned on my Compiz settings
[17:34] <astraljava> Hey OmegaForte, brickwall, what is the problem, did I understand correctly that you have a .rpm source package, that won't build?
[17:34] <fructose> I've manually turned it off before and verified it didn't reset on reboot. How do I ensure it never changes again?
[17:34] <boywonder> iceroot, nothin does what i want lol, help~:?
[17:34] <OmegaForte> astraljava, No, he's trying to get an older, compatible alsa package to work with a device that doesn't have support niow.
[17:35] <iceroot> boywonder: the command "sudo apt-get install smbfs" is not working or what do you mean?
[17:35] <guest-fPtt7c> where can i ask about oneiric?
[17:36] <boywonder> iceroot, im going to try that command again, or should i use synaptic to install it>
[17:36] <iceroot> guest-fPtt7c: #ubuntu+1
[17:36] <boywonder> ?
[17:36] <iceroot> boywonder: you can also use synaptic but apt-get is much better for support in this channel because of the messages it is generating
[17:36] <astraljava> OmegaForte: Uh oh...
[17:37] <boywonder> iceroot, im going to apt-get again and look at whats going on
[17:37] <guest-fPtt7c> iceroot, thanks
[17:37] <VIPuser> How are you today? =D
[17:38] <VIPuser> ????????????????????????????????
[17:38] <astraljava> brickwall: Well, if you can pastebin the build issues, maybe those could be resolved in a chroot of an earlier release or something, but yeah, finding the correct dependencies might be a b*tch.
[17:38] <tainted> what is the best way to get access to a natted ubuntu box?
[17:38] <oCean> VIPuser: this is ubuntu support, do you have a support question?
[17:38] <iceroot> tainted: natted?
[17:38] <OmegaForte> astraljava, He has a device that falls under 815006, and I've been trying to figure out a way to get him running.
[17:38] <tainted> a box that's behind a NAT
[17:39] <brickwall> checkinstall could work?
[17:39] <VIPuser> Yeah.
[17:39] <h00k> tainted: probably ssh/port forwarding?
[17:39] <iceroot> tainted: open the ports
[17:39] <VIPuser> I'm bulgarian =D
[17:39] <mega1> ubuntu server10.04 HD movied from one computer to another now cant access it nor can it access the internet
[17:39] <tainted> is there any ubuntu/linux equivalent of hamachi
[17:39] <OmegaForte> brickwall, Checkinstall is for freshly compiled code from a source package, and that'll build a .DEB that can be used.
[17:39] <OmegaForte> tainted, Google.ca
[17:39] <tainted> google.ca?
[17:39] <VIPuser> Are there any bulgarian?
[17:40] <Pici> !google | OmegaForte
[17:40] <OmegaForte> tainted, You could google that, or you could even go to their website.
[17:40] <mega1> how do i view a usb drive
[17:40] <VIPuser> Ïôôôôôôôôôôôôôôô.
[17:40] <oCean> VIPuser: this is not a social chat channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[17:40] <oCean> !bg | VIPuser
[17:40] <tainted> ice799 is there something that could hold the ports open?
[17:40] <OmegaForte> Pici, He had to find this, so that means he can search. If he can't search "Hamachi for ubuntu" or just go to their website and download the .deb package, then why is he even running linux?
[17:40] <brickwall> OmegaForte: (You can see why my nick is brickwall :D) You can build from the .src.rpm?
[17:40] <VIPuser> !bg
[17:41] <tainted> ice chat is there something that could hold the port open?
[17:41] <VIPuser> Help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[17:41] <OmegaForte> brickwall, I don't know. Red hat was ten years ago.
[17:41] <h00k> VIPuser: /join #ubuntu-bg
[17:41] <oCean> VIPuser: help with what?
[17:41] <brickwall> OmegaForte: It seems that you can.
[17:42] <Pici> OmegaForte: It doesn't matter. We don't suggest google as an answer here unless its a last resort.
[17:42] <VIPuser> There are three guys
[17:42] <intrader> Anyone, upon using Startup Disk Creator I get 'Installation Failed' - An uncaught exception was raised [Errno 5] Input/output error. What is going on?
[17:42] <VIPuser> THAT IS FUCKING
[17:42] <oCean> VIPuser: stop that
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> intrader: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[17:43] <iceroot> tainted: the router which is providing nat
[17:44] <iceroot> tainted: just create a port-forwarding rule. no need for hamachi on that case
[17:44] <boywonder> iceroot, i know this is silly but i think i just downloaded it before and not installed it(its now installed) do i have to install cifs?
[17:44] <iceroot> tainted: also you can write the nick-names out with tab-auto-colpetion
[17:44] <iceroot> boywonder: no, if smbfs is already installed everthing is fine
[17:44] <astraljava> brickwall: So is it that you have a .src.rpm package of some code that you want installed?
[17:45] <intrader> ActionParsnip, no, I am doing it from download image.
[17:45] <boywonder> iceroot, so now i have to gedit  .smbcredentials
[17:45] <brickwall> astraljava: Yes, it is.
[17:46] <H-DEE> Hi. I want to know if there's a method to change directory permissions from "root" to..say "www-data", being logged in as root. chroot throws up the error "chroot: cannot change root directory to www-data: No such file or directory". Any suggestions?
[17:46] <astraljava> brickwall: Have you tried to use alien on it, I'm not an experienced user but there seems to be a -g option that generates a build tree without actually rollingn any packages. So you could then use that tree for building purposes.
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> intrader: ok, then I suggest you try using your own image. Be sure to MD5 test it
[17:47] <intrader> ActionParsnip, should I download first. I want to be able to boot the 11.04 from the USB.
[17:48] <brickwall> astraljava: Installing alien...
[17:48] <kyle_> hey guys, so if I do man epoll its giving me epoll(7) ... how can I tell it to show me epoll(4)?
[17:49] <glebihan> kyle_, man -s 4 epoll
[17:49] <kyle_> -s, thanks man
[17:49] <kyle_> (I looked at man man but didnt see it :( )
[17:50] <Pici> kyle_, glebihan: you shouldn't need the -s there
[17:51] <glebihan> Pici, oh you're right didn't know that
[17:51] <brickwall> astraljava: I've got the tree, now how to I make the deb?
[17:51] <Polah> Is it possible to install wxPython2.6 in Natty?
[17:52] <astraljava> brickwall: That's a source package, you don't want to make a .deb out of that, but you need to build the apps from the sources it provided.
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> intrader: download the ISO from www.ubuntu.com
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | intrader
[17:53] <glebihan> Polah, yes
[17:53] <Pici> Polah: the python-wxgtk2.6 package seems to be what you' want.
[17:54] <mega1> how do i look at files on usb drive
[17:54] <boywonder> iceroot, ive got somthing wrong it says mount point cifs doesnt exist, heres my line, //<IP_ADDRESS>/serveone/home/chris/networkdrive cifs credentials=/home/chris/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 0 0
[17:55] <intrader> ActionParsnip, I have downloaded it - now I want to create a usb, the page only gives instructions for doing it on windows. That is weird!
[17:55] <seanmc98> hello all. I am dualbooting ubuntu 11.04 and windows vista using gnome and have a recovery partion and when i try to boot into the recovery partion it wont allow me to restore. how do i get it so i can restore my windows partion?
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> intrader: unetbootin is available in software centre
[17:55] <asteve> how can i install a package but not one of the it's dependencies?
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> intrader: there is also usb-creator
[17:56] <felipe_Brz> I downloaded an SDK folder. There's a .exe file in there. Are .exe files only for windows or can I run them on ubuntu too?
[17:56] <wols> seanmc98: can you eslect the recovery partition to boot?
[17:56] <aauthor> When one starts ubuntu in classic (no effects) does ubuntu use metacity instead of compiz?
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> aauthor: yes
[17:56] <wols> felipe_Brz: an SDK folder for what?
[17:56] <seanmc98> yes i can wols but it wont let me click restore windows
[17:56] <intrader> ActionParsnip, my mistake, I chose the wrong radio button. How do I use usb-creator?
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> intrader: run:  gksudo usb-creator-gtk
[17:56] <seanmc98> the only thing i can click is exit
[17:57] <centr0> extracting a .tgz file: is it tar -xzvf?
[17:57] <wols> seanmc98: we cannot help you with that. it's not ubuntu software. we cannot support some random closed source product
[17:57] <felipe_Brz> wols: it's Adobe Flex SDK. There are some .jar files, one .bat, one .exe and one extensionless.
[17:57] <wols> centr0: yes
[17:57] <centr0> wols: ty
[17:57] <aauthor> Thanks ActionParsnip, do you know if there's a gui for changing the options of metacity?
[17:57] <wols> felipe_Brz: lyou can try wine. but we don't know if it actually works
[17:57] <boywonder> iceroot, ??
[17:57] <Pici> asteve: Theres a reason that they're called dependencies.
[17:57] <seanmc98> wols what do you mean? the problem i am running into is when i installed ubuntu and gnome started running
[17:57] <Pici> boywonder: You need to provide a mountpoint after the share name.
[17:58] <felipe_Brz> wols: ok thanks
[17:58] <seanmc98> thats when i was no longer to restore from my partion
[17:58] <SmkMnstr> when i highlight in gnome xterm i have to rightclick copy
[17:58] <asteve> Pici: i have installed the package required from source
[17:58] <SmkMnstr> how do i make it auto copy highlighted?
[17:58] <SmkMnstr> ahh gnome-terminal actaully i think
[17:58] <iceroot> boywonder: 78.44.x.x sounds like an ip adresse from the internet not from your lan
[17:58] <iceroot> boywonder: cifs is not working of the internet
[17:58] <wols> seanmc98: so delete ubuntu from disk. format the filesystem of ubuntu with ntfs again. that's all we can tell you. again: we don't know about some random software for windows. we cannot know
[17:59] <wols> iceroot: it does. you'd be stupid if you made it work on the internet, but it does work just fine
[17:59] <SmkMnstr> oh nevermind
[17:59] <SmkMnstr> thers _2_ clipboarsd
[17:59] <SmkMnstr> one for middle mouse paste :)
[17:59] <ActionParsnip> aauthor: gconf-editor
[18:00] <iceroot> wols: not really because you cant use wins over the internet. maybe cifs is working but not the real samba-deal
[18:00] <ruiserra> Hi, The folder /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty in my ubuntu 10.04! What is the problem?
[18:00] <iceroot> wols: and all the other strange things in a windows-network (netbios and so on)
[18:00] <Pici> asteve: You'd need to to dpkg that you've already installed it. The most common way is to use check-install and use a version number higher than the one in the repos.
[18:00] <wols> iceroot: WINS is not cifs
[18:00] <share> guise
[18:00] <wols> iceroot: there is no netbios anymore for years. decades probably
[18:00] <boywonder> iceroot, its a static ip
[18:01] <jgcampbell300> hi
[18:01] <iceroot> wols: i know wins is not cifs
[18:02] <wols> iceroot: you said cifs doesn't work over the internet and supplied WINS as why not. *shrug*
[18:02] <boywonder> forget that
[18:02] <iceroot> wols: i said the real samba-deal is not working over the internet
[18:02] <iceroot> wols: ntlm, wins and so one.
[18:03] <iceroot> wols: but cifs is unecrypted isnt it?
[18:03] <boywonder> iceroot, wheres my problem?
[18:03] <jgcampbell300> So ... if i change to a directory on a drive like cd /media/drive1/dir/subdir/ and enter "sudo rm -R *.jpg" will it delete all of the jpg's under all the directories from /subdir/ down ?
[18:03] <Pici> boywonder: I told you what the problem is already.  You didn't specify a mountpoint.
[18:04] <boywonder> iceroot, sorry i didnt read that,
[18:04] <iceroot> boywonder: the first problem is that the ip cant be reached
[18:04] <iceroot> boywonder: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:04] <Pici> jgcampbell300: no. it won't. You'd need to do something like: find /media/drive1/dir/subdir/ -iname "*.jpg" -delete
[18:04] <m4v> Ubuntu doesn't allow to install an older version if there's a newer installation in place?
[18:04] <gremlin> are there any server admins online at the mo
[18:04] <boywonder> iceroot, i can share from that address on my box
[18:04] <mega1> how do i access files on my usb drive
[18:05] <iceroot> boywonder: do you want to access a share over the internet? or in your lan?
[18:05] <Pici> jgcampbell300: use -print instead of -delete to ensure that its getting the right files though
[18:05] <gremlin> would love a little help with dhcp
[18:05] <iceroot> boywonder: where is the storage?
[18:05] <iceroot> !ask | gremlin
[18:05] <gremlin> a little guidence will go a long way
[18:05] <jgcampbell300> Pici, nice ...thanks
[18:05] <gremlin> well there many questions
[18:05] <boywonder> iceroot, on my lan but it has a static ip
[18:06] <gremlin> how would one make private chat so i can post my .config and all else that goes with it
[18:06] <gremlin> soz im nub to irc
[18:06] <Pici> !paste | gremlin
[18:06] <iceroot> boywonder: that is not a lan-ip
[18:06] <gremlin> lol
[18:06] <iceroot> boywonder: 1. use the lan-ip
[18:06] <gremlin> soz
[18:06] <Pici> gremlin: no need to apoligize
[18:07] <ruiserra> Hi, The folder /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty in my ubuntu 10.04! What is the problem?
[18:07] <boywonder> iceroot, this is cgoing to get a bit wild for me, i dont have dhcp
[18:07] <rossie> hello all
[18:07] <iceroot> boywonder: what does dhcp has to do with that?
[18:07] <gremlin> so ill be back once ive read up
[18:07] <boywonder> i have no internal ips
[18:07] <iceroot> boywonder: why?
[18:07] <rossie> i have installed 11.04 and i am not able to connect to the AES enabled wifi at my college. what to do?
[18:07] <iceroot> boywonder: just set some internal ips
[18:08] <boywonder> because i havnt got round to setting them up and i dont know how
[18:08] <boywonder> iceroot, i think that involves setting up my router from without a page
[18:08] <share> what does this mean? "UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST"
[18:09] <boywonder> iceroot,  i did actually change that ip i gave you for safety
[18:09] <iceroot> boywonder: you can change wan-ips?
[18:10] <iceroot> boywonder: or do you mean just disconnect to get a new one?
[18:10] <Pici> iceroot: I think he means he typoed it so we wouldn't have his reall address for some reason
[18:10] <iceroot> Pici: ok
[18:10] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659458/  theres  first link if all is done right
[18:10] <boywonder> iceroot, whatever that meant, im not savy to altering ips
[18:10] <Pici> boywonder: It doesn't make any sense that the computers inside your network all have the same IPs.
[18:11] <boywonder> they dont
[18:11] <iceroot> boywonder: you should first setup a lan (local area network)
[18:11] <iceroot> boywonder: and one ip is connected to the internet. your router will have 2 ips, the internet and a lan ip
[18:12] <auronandace> share: man ifconfig and man iwconfig would be a good place to learn
[18:12] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659461/ hers the .conf for dhcp 3 well mine lol
[18:12] <gremlin> here
[18:12] <boywonder> iceroot, firstly i get confused with this because theres no settings inside the router to change anything from a screen,each device has its own static ip
[18:13] <iceroot> boywonder: the router should have dhcp. the easiest way to create a network
[18:13] <boywonder> dhcp is off
[18:13] <Pici> iceroot: maybe the typoed address is a public one?
[18:13] <iceroot> Pici: it is but he said its a machine inside the lan
[18:13] <share> auronandace: sudo ifconfig eth0 -multicast
[18:13] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659462/ third
[18:13] <gremlin> one
[18:14] <share> auronandace: but how can I disable it automatically
[18:14] <gremlin> well when i try start i get errors
[18:14] <boywonder> was you refering to the 44 in the ip?
[18:14] <gremlin> i tink its my syntax
[18:14] <iceroot> Pici: so i guess he is using the public ip and because of the nat he cant access the storage in the lan
[18:14] <gremlin> lol
[18:14] <intrader> ActionParsnip, the usb-creator-gtk does not show source of the download. I am doing it with 'Startup Disk Creator' successfully. Now I will try boot
[18:14] <boywonder> iceroot,  i have nat
[18:14] <iceroot> boywonder: can you post the ip-adress of your ubuntu-client?
[18:14] <Pici> gremlin: Its a lot easier for us if you ask your question with as much detail as you can all on one line.
[18:15] <iceroot> boywonder: or maybe the whole output of "ifconfig"
[18:15] <auronandace> share: i'm not sure sorry, there is likely a config file you can edit
[18:15] <iceroot> !paste | boywonder
[18:15] <Pici> gremlin: And the errors that you are getting as well.
[18:15] <gremlin> ok cld you pls checl my paste as to see if there are any obvious mistakes
[18:15] <gremlin> kk
[18:16] <share> auronandace: im getting this messages in wireshark 192.168.X.X <IP_ADDRESS>IGMPV3 Membership Query, general
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> intrader: you may need to navigate the folders in usb-creator
[18:16] <iceroot> boywonder: that is the wrong setup
[18:16] <mega1> ubuntu
[18:16] <iceroot> boywonder: you are using public ips in your lan
[18:16] <auronandace> share: i've never used wireshark
[18:16] <intrader> ActionParsnip, ah, thanks
[18:16] <funky> hi
[18:16] <share> auronandace: try it it out ;)
[18:17] <share> good to monitor you internetz
[18:17] <boywonder> iceroot i have no idea how to change this?
[18:17] <iceroot> boywonder: the easiest way is to enable "dhcp" in your router
[18:17] <iceroot> boywonder: on the clients you also choose dhcp
[18:17] <auronandace> share: i don't need to analyse my network traffic
[18:17] <iceroot> boywonder: which is the ubuntu-default
[18:18] <boywonder> iceroot, but then my server ip will change~?
[18:18] <share> auronandace: ok
[18:18] <iceroot> boywonder: all ips inside your lan will change to correct ips, the public ip wont change
[18:18] <iceroot> boywonder: at the moment you are using a wrong network in your lan

[18:19] <Rickyboy107> Does someone know if natty works on a Packard Bell Easynote TK37?
[18:19] <tazzer> hey so far i have been using ubuntu natty with the wubi installer. i have been using this like i would any other computer for some time now and i think it is about time to partition my hard drive. I was wondering if not only could i keep all of my files with the new install but mabye if i could allso have all of my programs whith it
[18:19] <mankeletor> hi all, i can't set the max resolution of my new lg flatron screen
[18:19] <boywonder> iceroot, im agreeing
[18:19] <mankeletor> :(
[18:19] <iceroot> boywonder: can you paste the outout of "sudo dhclient eth0"
[18:19] <olivitho> Buenas tardess
[18:20] <funky> is there any repository for ubuntu whith eclipse indigo in it?
[18:21] <Rickyboy107> Does someone know why natty doesnt like an Intel GMA 4500M video card?
[18:21] <escott> tazzer, with a bit of work yes. you need shrink the partition to make space for a new one. then do the install at which point you should be able to loop mount the wubi image and copy your files off it
[18:21] <Pici> funky: You can look yourself here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[18:21] <escott> tazzer, if you aren't comfortable with doing a loop mount you might just want to backup to a different disk
[18:22] <funky> Pici: thanks
[18:22] <tazzer> haha thanks sounds like a little bit of work but i will look into it. . .wow they weren't kidding when they said ubuntu has a good community
[18:23] <mankeletor> hi all, i can't set the max resolution of my new lg flatron screen :(
[18:23] <Guest35733> tazzer: we're not all good. some of us wear jackets and carry chains around with us
[18:24] <ivansalvadori> hi everyone
[18:24] <tazzer> ummm ok. . .?
[18:24] <escott> mankeletor, does xrandr not list the mode you want?
[18:24] <Rickyboy107> anyone?
[18:24] <escott> Rickyboy107, what do you mean by "does not like"
[18:24] <Rickyboy107> Booting with total blackscreen and doing nothing alse
[18:25] <Rickyboy107> tried to google it but nothing that might solve it
[18:25] <ChristopherNG> is it possible to triple boot with windows, ubuntu and another linux distro using a persistent live usb?
[18:25] <recon69_lap> hi, just want to ask if anyone has skype working on 10.04 LTS, and if so what version, cause mine stopped working
[18:25] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: did you install from the repository?
[18:25] <escott> Rickyboy107, do you get the plymouth screen (ubuntu logo five dots below it)
[18:25] <ivansalvadori> my skype works fine
[18:25] <FroyoShark> same here
[18:25] <Rickyboy107> uhm
[18:25] <Rickyboy107> yes
[18:25] <mankeletor> escott, nope, it doesn't
[18:25] <Rickyboy107> and after that the screen goes black
[18:25] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: cant remember, let me check
[18:25] <KE1HA> Rickyboy107: Have a read though this, may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582
[18:26] <Rickyboy107> KE1HA that are things that you need to do in Ubuntu
[18:26] <KE1HA> Although it say 9.04, I've seen several threads using it to resolve similar blackscreen issues.
[18:26] <Rickyboy107> i cant see my interface
[18:26] <escott> mankeletor, you can try to forcefully add the mode with xrandr but modern monitors should report all possible modes with edid. you can check your xorg.conf to see what the monitor reported its capabilities as
[18:26] <Rickyboy107> or onything alse
[18:26] <RA_drc> how can i see how much free space i have availalbe?
[18:26] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: the packet manager says it's installed
[18:27] <escott> RA_drc, disk utility or command line df -h
[18:27] <seanmc98> whats the screen called where it loads the different OS on the different partions/
[18:27] <KE1HA> I also used parts of it to solve my D400 graphics issues. I'll look around some more for ya.
[18:27] <Pici> seanmc98: GRUB
[18:27] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: "sudo apt-get update"
[18:27] <escott> mankeletor, make sure you are using a digital cable (dvi, hdmi or display port) and not a vga cable
[18:28] <escott> Rickyboy107, can you ctrl-alt-f1 over to tty1
[18:28] <Rickyboy107> mhhm i will have to burn the iso
[18:28] <tazzer> sorry to be a pest but if you could point me to a link that shows how to loop mount the wubi image or back everything up to a disk
[18:28] <mankeletor> escott, nope.. im using just the classic vga connector
[18:29] <RA_drc> and how can i see all of the computers connected to my network
[18:29] <RA_drc> (and their ip addresses)
[18:29] <escott> mankeletor, that could be the source of your problems
[18:29] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: system is uptodate,  version <IP_ADDRESS>-0lucid1
[18:30] <Rickyboy107> what i do know is when natty came out i had those problems
[18:30] <Rickyboy107> after that i had more distro's
[18:30] <Rickyboy107> and then got back to windows
[18:30] <Pici> !enter
[18:30] <KE1HA> Rickyboy107: Here's a Blackscreen troubleshing guide: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/BlankScreen
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> RA_drc: nmap can sniff the subnet for systems
[18:31] <RA_drc> ActionParsnip: thanks
[18:31] <RA_drc> escott: thanks
[18:31] <mainrain> can anyone suggest a very simple program for taking an image and adding an arrow/some text?  soemthing like http://www.techsmith.com/snagit/ but for linux?
[18:31] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: do you have skype working on you system
[18:31] <RA_drc> if i want to delete a folder, can i use rm -rf folder/ ?
[18:31] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: let me install it
[18:31] <mainrain> preferably something with this task in mind, so it takes 10s to throw an arrow and some text onto a screenshots, instead of the 3 minutes it takes me in gimp
[18:31] <Pici> RA_drc: you can, but remember there is no undelete.
[18:31] <boywonder> iceroot, i got disconed
[18:31] <gremlin> ok ok sorry for nubbage but here we go
[18:32] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659471/
[18:32] <RA_drc> Pici: can i safely break (ctrl-c) in the middle of rm?
[18:32] <seanmc98> how do i uninstall grub2 and ubuntu 11.04/
[18:32] <gremlin> sweet :)
[18:32] <Pici> RA_drc: you can, but I wouldn't count on that as a failsafe.
[18:32] <gremlin> brb
[18:32] <boywonder> iceroot, please explain to me what i gotta do?
[18:32] <escott> RA_drc, you can ctrl-c but you still lose stuff. it works as a depth first removal
[18:32] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: It works fine use the software center
[18:33] <ChristopherNG> recon69_lap: remove it and reinstall it, you wont loose your contacts they are stored by skype servers.
[18:33] <RA_drc> escott: what i mean is, can i break without worrying about the hardware being damaged or the filesystem being negatively impacted
[18:33] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: thx, i'll try remove it and do a fresh install, big help to know that the thing works before trying to fix it ;0
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: you can boot to livecd and install it. If you are using ubuntu right now then it is installed
[18:34] <mankeletor> escott, abtolutely agree with you.. winxp nvidia drivers works fine on that OS
[18:34] <escott> RA_drc, no risk of that
[18:34] <RA_drc> also, is there a way to view the progress of the deletion
[18:34] <mankeletor> escott, in this PC
[18:34] <seanmc98> ActionParsnip, i want to remove grub2 and ubuntu so i can use the recovery partion acer set up on this laptop to resore windows
[18:34] <Rickyboy107> I dont understand it KE1AH
[18:34] <escott> mankeletor, the linux drivers are just being more conservative about the hardware capabilities. you can try to force the mode with xrandr, just be careful
[18:34] <seanmc98> grub wont allow me to use the recovery partion
[18:34] <Pici> RA_drc: you can add -v to have it show what files it's touching,.
[18:35] <boywonder> iceroot, ??
[18:35] <genii-around> RA_drc: If you didn't use -v  you can open a second console and ls the dir contents you are wiping
[18:35] <KM0201> seanmc98: do you still have access to windows?
[18:35] <riot_> excuse me, could anyone tell me, how to install the 64 bit flashplayer vers.?
[18:35] <seanmc98> yes. KM0201
[18:35] <KM0201> !flash64 > riot_
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: if you delete the ubuntu partitions it should make the recovery partition work
[18:36] <mankeletor> escott, can you give me the args for set to 1920x1080@60 using xrandr?
[18:36] <KM0201> seanmc98: boot windows,google "Easus partition tool" (or something like that.. it has a very easy tool to restore a windows mbr.
[18:36] <escott> riot_, sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
[18:36] <KM0201> i've used the free one pretty extensively
[18:36] <seanmc98> ActionParsnip, so download gparted.iso and burn it to a cd boot from that and remove ubuntu?
[18:37] <seanmc98> KM0201, will that remove grub too?
[18:37] <riot_> escott. thats all, so i get the 64bit one?
[18:37] <FallOfSocrates> CAn anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong here?  I have a sed call "sed -i 's:function (.*?)\((.*?)\)(\n(    |)\{|\{):test:g' Debug.php.bak", it tells me I have an unmatched \{.  I should have an unmatched \{ because it has been escaped.
[18:37] <KM0201> seanmc98: yes, it will rewrite the mbr (assuming that is where grub is).. and you will boot straight through to Windows
[18:37] <escott> mankeletor, im afraid i don't know what the command line would look like other than to refer you to man pages or google
[18:37] <recon69_lap> ChristopherNG: thx, simple reinstall fixed it
[18:37] <KM0201> seanmc98: where did you put grub when you installed Ubuntu?
[18:38] <escott> riot_, after doing that just run a normal upgrade it should see the ppa version
[18:38] <seanmc98> on the HDD i believe
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: why bother, the ubuntu livecd has gparted on it...
[18:38] <KE1HA> Rickyboy107: see PM
[18:38] <rww> FallOfSocrates: silly though it sounds, \{ is the special character and { is the normal test string on at least some regex variations. Try replacing the \{ with {
[18:38] <seanmc98> ahh thats true
[18:38] <boywonder> iceroot you gonna help
[18:38] <KM0201> seanmc98: i know that, but did you put it on /boot, did yo put it on the mbr of the drive.
[18:38] <boywonder> ?
[18:38] <RA_drc_> genii-around: Pici thanks
[18:38] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: gparted is not going to clear the mbr.
[18:39] <FallOfSocrates> rww:  Okay, I'll give it a shot.  Be right back.
[18:39] <mankeletor> escott, i dind't found to much usefull information searhing in google
[18:40] <seanmc98> KM0201, im not sure i followed the install from the live CD all i changed is the partion on where to set it
[18:40] <FrozenFire> Is it possible to set up a group, or even just individual user permissions, such that a particular user has complete file access to everything in /home, but not the rest of the system?
[18:40] <KM0201> seanmc98: do you have a /boot partition?
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> KM0201: i believe there is a CD to boot to kick off the recovery. Possible that the CD expected the recovery partition to be a certain number or somesuch.
[18:40] <seanmc98> honestly i have no clue man
[18:40] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: hmm.
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> Restore partitions are annoying
[18:41] <escott> FrozenFire, not really. the other uses of the system could chown their own folders to a different group
[18:41] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: i agree...
[18:41] <edbian> ActionParsnip: i agree...
[18:41] <gremlin> just ponering but has any taken a look at my paste it has all the details for first diagnosis
[18:41] <KM0201> !pastebin | seanmc98 pastebin the results of "sudo fdisk -l" (thats a lowercase L) and gimme the link
[18:41] <JJiilles> how do I open my home folder as root?
[18:41] <JJiilles> sudo xxx ??
[18:42] <escott> JJiilles, why do you want to do that
[18:42] <JJiilles> escott:  vim plugins
[18:42] <nippynell> just installed ubuntu on my ums netbook , how do i get the standard menu
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> JJiilles: gksudo nautilus   but your user has full rights over its own $HOME
[18:42] <escott> JJiilles, are you trying to install a vim plugin to /usr/share for all users?
[18:43] <seanmc98> KM0201, http://paste.ubuntu.com/659475/
[18:43] <escott> JJiilles, i would caution you against running nautilus under sudo because it would be easy to confuse your nautilus with roots nautilus
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> nippynell: log off and change session to ubuntu classic
[18:43] <nippynell> thanks
[18:43] <KM0201> seanmc98: are you using wubi?
[18:43] <seanmc98> no
[18:43] <escott> JJiilles, you wouldn't want to find that the window you thought you closed stayed open and accidently send your entire system to the recycle bin
[18:43] <KM0201> cuz that shows your NTFS partition as "boot"..
[18:44] <JJiilles> I just want to install plugins for vim gehe, and also there's just one user, + im new to linux... as you guys might have figured
[18:44] <seanmc98> i dualboot with wondows
[18:44] <seanmc98> and i have a recovery partion other than that thats it
[18:44] <KM0201> seanmc98: im not really sure what the answer is to be truthful.
[18:44] <escott> JJiilles, you should just be able to put those plugins in your .vim folder
[18:44] <seanmc98> KM0201, PM?
[18:45] <escott> JJiilles, you don't need root anything
[18:45] <yellabs-r2> hello all
[18:45] <FallOfSocrates> rww:  "sed -i 's:function (.*?)\((.*?)\)(\n(    |){|{):test:g' Debug.php.bak"  should match "function thisIsNotAFunction($var){", yes?
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> JJiilles: you can add them to your own users vim folder. No need for higher access
[18:45] <yellabs-r2> is there an fix for the messed up right klick of the gnome trash on the menu below on the right ?
[18:46] <mega1> i am trying to look at a file that is on my usb drive how do i do that
[18:46] <yellabs-r2> dont know how to describe it ...
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> mega1: use nautilus
[18:46] <escott> mega1, plug it in. open your nautilus/home folder. you should see the usb listed on the left hand section
[18:47] <mega1> nautilus
[18:47] <gremlin> can one change channels from here to a more suited one
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> Mega1: nautilus is the app which runs when you use the places icon
[18:48] <mega1> this is server 10.04
[18:48] <seanmc98> KM0201, check your PM please
[18:48] <auronandace> gremlin: /join #nameofchannel
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> gremlin: absolutely
[18:48] <gremlin> ty
[18:48] <gremlin> lol
[18:48] <escott> mega1, then manually mount the usb disk (mount /media/usbdisk /dev/sdX#) and cd /media/usbdisk
[18:49] <gremlin> so for dhcp troubleshooting any channel suggestions :)
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Mega1: you may have to mount it yourself. Maybe other can advise
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Mega1: escott: its device then mountpoint ;)
[18:50] <gremlin> hey all you wonderful linux foondies
[18:50] <edbian> gremlin: hello
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Mega1: the mountpoint is a folder and it must exist
[18:51] <gremlin> hey
[18:51] <rww> FallOfSocrates: no, there's a newline in the regex that isn't in the string, at least. If you're still having issues matching, you might need to do the same with \( and ( (and the close-parens), btw.
[18:51] <wols> gremlin: #networking. or ask here
[18:51] <gremlin> ty
[18:51] <gremlin> so check my paste lol
[18:51] <gremlin> http://paste.ubuntu.com/659471/
[18:53] <silvering> hi folks, i upgraded to 11.04 from 9.10 (dont ask) and my mic is not working anymore
[18:54] <Bluetegu> Hi there. LibreOffice writer freezes my ubuntu 11.04. Can't do anything except hard reset. Anyone knows what's the solution?
[18:54] <mega1> its not mounting
[18:55] <escott> silvering, there are lots of things to check. start with alsamixer and turn the gain up the db boost
[18:55] <FrozenFire> escott, They're all my users. I just put different services in different users on my home system for security purposes. I just want to be able to perform tasks on the various service data without having to log into each user.
[18:55] <escott> Bluetegu, you can't even switch to tty1? ctrl-alt-f1
[18:55] <Bluetegu> escott, no, nothing. cntrl-alt-f1 or anything similar doesn't work.
[18:56] <escott> FrozenFire, then sure just make sure they are all part of the same group, and make sure that is there default group
[18:56] <FrozenFire> I suppose I could add my main user to the group of each of the service users.
[18:56] <wols> gremlin: you opened several curly braces (for each error message), but never ever closed them
[18:56] <RenaKunisaki> anyone know why usb-creator-gtk won't enable the "make startup disk" button?
[18:56] <RA_drc> airtonix: i got fusion-icon installed, thanks
[18:56] <astraljava> gremlin: Closing }s for ntp-servers, domain-name-servers and netbios-name-servers?
[18:57] <wols> FrozenFire: then use root (sudo) for doing stuff to them
[18:57] <FallOfSocrates> rww:  Unfortunately, it's still now working.

[18:57] <Bluetegu> ubottu, thanks, looking
[18:58] <escott> Bluetegu, not sure why libreoffice would be causing problems. most likely it is a video driver issue. try disabling the effects/using unity-2d
[18:58] <Success> nonono i need ubuntu classic mode like 11.04 has in 11.11
[18:58] <Success> i LOVE it
[18:58] <Success> it makes it so much better
[18:58] <Success> coming from mac windows whoever
[18:58] <trism> ChristopherNG: there will be a gnome-session-fallback in the 11.10 repos, just not installed by default (the default fallback is unity-2d), further discussion in #ubuntu+1
[18:58] <Success> it makes transition better, you can make it look however you want its like the best feature
[18:58] <RenaKunisaki> astraljava, http://imgh.us/Screenshot_-_11-08-05_-_12:58:40_PM.png
[18:59] <RenaKunisaki> I have to specify ISO on the command line or it won't do anything when I select the file either
[18:59] <Success> what do you mean by fallback
[18:59] <Bluetegu> escott, I saw this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1814190 but there isn't any solution at end...
[18:59] <Success> oh and default file manager on 11.04 is broke
[18:59] <Success> i have to use dolphin
[18:59] <escott> Success, its gnome 3 internals but minus the effects and the shell. similar to a standard gnome 2 panel
[18:59] <E00e> Hello, I want to change the the new line characer of the standard ubuntu telnet command. When I hit enter it sends \r \n (carriage return and new line), but I need it to only send \n . Can someone help me with that?
[19:00] <Success> so on 11.10 there will still be the session option to load into classic with the panels u can customize and move around and stuff right?
[19:00] <silvering> escott: i need it just for skype, and in skype options all the available options is just PulseAudio, i installed pulse audio volume control and in input devices i got many many devices.. input 1,2, line-in, microphone 1,2.. all of them are analog, my audio device is built in in the mobo
[19:00] <Success> im not upgrading if there isnt
[19:00] <dr_willis> Success,  there is no0 gnome-classic in 11.10
[19:00] <Success> even a third party one?
[19:01] <Success> i want to upgrade but i cant with out it
[19:01] <dr_willis> Success,  classic gnome is dieing/dead/getting phased out. so just deal with it. :)

[19:02] <ImTheR00t> so i can put my ubuntu in balence
[19:03] <ImTheR00t> like in windows?
[19:03] <escott> silvering, there are a lot of things to debug, i would recommend starting at the top and working your way down. make sure that pulse is selecting the right audio input source, then make sure that the decibel gain is maxed out in alsamixer for that input. finally if you are still having problems and you have hda sound you can use hda_analyzer (see the alsa page on debugging hda sound). but without seeing how things are configured its hard
[19:03] <escott>  to say what is wrong
[19:03] <ImTheR00t> is getting to high temperature :S
[19:04] <Success> who is natty wharhol anyways?
[19:04] <silvering> escott: its not hda.. jesus, im not going to upgrade this thing never again
[19:04] <ImTheR00t> can someone help me?
[19:04] <ruiserra> Hello, The folder /proc/acpi/thermal_zone is empty
[19:04] <dr_willis> ImTheR00t,  i think NO ONE in here has a clue what you just asked..
[19:04] <ruiserra> What is the problem?
[19:04] <goodtime> heh
[19:04] <dr_willis> ImTheR00t,  clarify what you need excatly.
[19:05] <ImTheR00t> sorry for my english
[19:05] <ImTheR00t> i need a program to reduce the pc performance like in windows we put your batery in balenced

[19:09] <auronandace> KE1HA: did you first select your username?
[19:10] <Guest51198> for (var i=1; i==0;i++){alert('PLUS');}
[19:10] <KE1HA> It's not my box, doing this on the Phone, will ask.
[19:11] <skraps> guest51198 your the man
[19:11] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: That link gives me a 404.
[19:11] <KE1HA> auronandace: Ahh, he said that worked cool, thanks.
[19:11] <RenaKunisaki> o.O
[19:11] <auronandace> KE1HA: no worries :)
[19:11] <RenaKunisaki> works for me... unetbootin seems to have done the trick anyway
[19:12] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: That's a good fallback in cases usb-creator fails.
[19:14] <KE1HA> Unetbootin is a slick little app, I use ti allot for ISO testing.
[19:15] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: Sorry, I had a b0rked link. What system are you using, btw.?
[19:16] <RenaKunisaki> running Xubuntu 11.04, installing Lubuntu 10.10 on another machine
[19:16] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: That doesn't look anything like the dialog I'm presented, on vanilla 11.04.
[19:17] <RenaKunisaki> is it usb-creator-gtk --iso=/some/file/iso ?
[19:17] <imi> is there an up-to-date version of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemOnIntrepid ?
[19:17] <RenaKunisaki> just plain usb-creator seems to not exist, and it does look different (and also not work) if not given an ISO path
[19:17] <escott> RenaKunisaki, i think you can specify the iso in the gui tool
[19:18] <RenaKunisaki> escott, you can, but if I tried that it just didn't do anything
[19:18] <RenaKunisaki> the ISO wouldn't appear in the list
[19:18] <auronandace> !intrepid | imi
[19:19] <JJiilles> what is the shortcut for paste in terminal??
[19:19] <imi> auronandace: what I was interested about if there's any article about encrypted rootfs how to for (e.g.) natty
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> JJiilles: ctrl+shift+v  or shift+ins
[19:20] <astraljava> RenaKunisaki: I never give it a parameter, just open it from the menu. But I can understand now why it would look different. Good call.
[19:21] <auronandace> imi: hmm, it doesn't look like there is
[19:21] <imi> :(
[19:22] <RenaKunisaki> imi, when you install using the alternate ISO it should offer to set up disk encryption
[19:22] <imi> RenaKunisaki: will it use luks or dm_crypt?
[19:22] <RenaKunisaki> I think dm_crypt
[19:22] <iLogic> is there a keyboard shortcut for sending the message to twitter on gwiber?
[19:22] <auronandace> imi: this is what i could find: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystems
[19:23] <iLogic> if gwibber doesnt have a keyboard shortcut for sending the messages it is plain stupid.
[19:24] <Titanoboa> I'm trying to install Ubuntu 11.04 and during the installation (like in the first few seconds) I get this error: "Failed to create a file system - The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCSI9 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."
[19:24] <Titanoboa> (I\m on the LiveCD atm btw)
[19:24] <Guest51198> how adjust wave/balance on speakers
[19:24] <Titanoboa> any idea what that means?
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: is it listed in any menus after you type something. Possibly could also use tab followed by enter if one isn't listed
[19:25] <iLogic> ActionParsnip: no it is not, and tab results in a indent space.. so am I right? gwibber is plain stupid?
[19:25] <cmanns> ikonia, hi
[19:25] <cmanns> In the pxelinux.cfg/ directory, make a symlink named after the pxe boot client's mac address (without the colons), and pointing to the "default" config file:
[19:26] <cmanns> Is the fallowing still needed? I can pxe boot the installer but when I click install at the menu it just hangs no lan activity, this why?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: not something i use.
[19:31] <iLogic> dr_willis: will do, doc
[19:31] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  try making a filesystem on it by hand with gparted/fdisk yet?
[19:32] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: no idea what that means. translate to english please? :D
[19:32] <dr_willis> use gparted, make a filesystem..
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: i think i got something
[19:32] <Titanoboa> no idea what gparted is
[19:32] <Titanoboa> sorry :(
[19:32] <dr_willis> You have real actual scsi hard drives?  or are they sata?
[19:32] <dr_willis> !info gparted
[19:32] <iLogic> ActionParsnip: you mean like drugs?
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/kupfer-v204-quicklauncher-released-with.html
[19:33] <cmanns> What would be the wget/etc equiv of lftp -c "open url ; mirror"
[19:33] <cmanns> Trying to grab the netboot installer complete file set =/
[19:33] <delectable> hi all.  would you folks mind if i parked a bot in here
[19:33] <delectable> like, 24/7
[19:33] <cmanns> yes
[19:33] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: when i open gparted, it lists 3 sda's. the top one called sda1 has a red exclamation thingy. prolly some error?
[19:33] <farchord> delectable, yes they do.
[19:33] <delectable> wait.  you don't know what the bot does yet
[19:34] <farchord> delectable, it could poop chunks of gold, we do not care.
[19:34] <iLogic> ActionParsnip: but dont you agree it should be standard? as dr_willis suggested, i'm writing them an angrymail
[19:34] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  if its mounted/in use - ! means you cant modify it.
[19:34] <Toph2> i have lost rge min,max,x functions from the panels of all my applications,, i think i was fooling around with the compiz cube feature when they disappeared. Any idea how to restore them?
[19:34] <delectable> farchord:  it answers common queries
[19:34] <Titanoboa> the warning says "unable to detect file system! possible reasons: file system is damaged, file system is unknown to GParted, The is no file system available (unformatted)
[19:34] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  you have 1 hard drive on this system? any other OS's on it?
[19:34] <farchord> delectable, we already have one.
[19:34] <delectable> automatically and appropriately
[19:35] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: nope no OS's, only 1 HDD
[19:35] <Titanoboa> might be the latter. so how do i format it? (someone else told me to format it too)
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> iLogic: i guess but i found what you needed with websearching which you could have also found.
[19:35] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  id delete them all in gparted, and remake them as you want, then tell the installer to install to them.. OR just delete them all. and start the installer and let it partiton the hd as it wants
[19:35] <JJiilles> hey guys, im in a map now with terminal, how do I get to the main directory easely again?
[19:35] <Flex> Titanoboa, you don't have XP on it? orginally
[19:35] <JJiilles> cd home doesnt work
[19:36] <dr_willis> JJiilles,  in a map?
[19:36] <Titanoboa> Flex: XP got removed along with all my shtuff
[19:36] <dr_willis> JJiilles,  'cd' goes to your home dir.
[19:36] <Flex> probably not fully
[19:36] <JJiilles> thanks!!
[19:36] <Flex> dr_willis, does he need to boot from disk rather than use the live CD to fully wipe everything?
[19:36] <farchord> Flex, if he has nothing left on the disk, no need...
[19:37] <delectable> the bot also reveals next week's winning lottery numbers
[19:37] <dr_willis> Flex,  if he used fdisk, he could delete everything even if the partions are mounted. :) gparted can prob. delete it all also.
[19:37] <Flex> then do that Titanoboa
[19:37] <Titanoboa> i've deleted the partitions, now what
[19:37] <farchord> delectable: You know, I know that in chinese, there are thousands of words to say 'yes' and only one to say 'no' but we said 'no'.
[19:37] <Titanoboa> ^^
[19:38] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  apply changes,, reboot, start the installer
[19:38] <goodtime> heh
[19:38] <Titanoboa> okay
[19:38] <qzio> is there some trick to get the dash(?) to actually do something? I booted into unity, when I press the super key, the dash pops up, but nothing happens when i type something, it just searches and finds nothing.
[19:38] <Titanoboa> with or without livecd
[19:38] <Titanoboa> or does it not matter?
[19:38] <farchord> Or is it in Japanese....
[19:38]  * farchord thinks....
[19:38] <delectable> farchord:  how about a bot that insults users named "farchord" every time they speak
[19:38] <Uchiha_Itachi> #ubuntu_jp
[19:38] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  huh? if you deleted all the disk parittions.. you have nothing on it to boot......
[19:38] <farchord> delectable, that'd be hilaaaarious, but no.
[19:38] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  so you boot the cd.. start the installer...
[19:39] <qzio> if i press more apps nothing happens, if i type in gnome-terminal nothing happens etc.
[19:39] <Titanoboa> yeah but when i've booted the cd, should i choose Try Ubuntu or Install right away
[19:39] <Titanoboa> @dr_willis:
[19:39] <iLogic> ok dudes, chilÃl
[19:39] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  dosent matter.. You can use the live desktop as it installs... play solitare or whatver.. or chat in irc
[19:39] <Titanoboa> okay
[19:39] <Titanoboa> good to know, i'll do that.
[19:39] <Titanoboa> k rebooting cu in a bit ^^
[19:39] <Titanoboa> (thx for all the help so far)
[19:39] <YankDownUnder> Play solitaire? Whilst installing?
[19:40]  * dr_willis recalls installers from years back that let you Play solitare, or tetris as the os installed....
[19:40] <Flex> Titanoboa did you apply the changes?
[19:40] <dr_willis> YankDownUnder,  :)  yes.. seen disrots that had that feature.
[19:40] <Titanoboa> yep i applied it
[19:40] <Titanoboa> just about to reboot
[19:40] <Titanoboa> it just says unallocated space btw
[19:40] <Titanoboa> where the partition was
[19:40] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  then the installer should be able to auto-partition it as needed
[19:40] <Titanoboa> yay nice
[19:40] <KE1HA> LiveCD has two main options, Try Ubuntu, or install UB. The Try UB can be a bit slow if you ahve to download an app that's not on the CD, or you have low system recources (RAM), but works nice for trying things.
[19:41] <Titanoboa> k gonna try it
[19:41] <YankDownUnder> dr_willis, Yeah - BUT, what's the point? THAT is the time you should either be 1.) Making coffee/tea, drinking beer 2.) Panicking 3.) Stressing out 4.) Explaining to the better half why linux is better than MS Windows
[19:42] <Flex> I have a question! Gnome or KDE? :p
[19:42] <YankDownUnder> Flex, What version of Ubuntu?
[19:42] <edbian> Flex: don't ask
[19:42] <auronandace> !poll | Flex
[19:42] <Flex> :D
[19:42] <Uchiha_Itachi> Flex: fluxbox
[19:42] <Flex> i just asked in terms of what someone is using
[19:42] <KE1HA> the Install has three options, Auto (use the full disk), Side by Side for Dual boot, and manual, all do the same things, parttition & format.
[19:42] <Flex> YankDownUnder latest?
[19:43] <YankDownUnder> Flex, Then if it's 11.04, I certainly ain't gonna say nuthin... ;)
[19:43] <Flex> lol why not
[19:43] <delectable> farchord:  how about a bot that periodically sends "Linux is not yet ready for the desktop. Try Windows or Mac OSX instead."
 Cheers for that!
[19:45] <iridium> delectable, selectable, forgettable
[19:45] <delectable> farchord:  you must be a newbie
[19:45] <delectable> iridium:  you wouldn't say that if you saw me
[19:45] <delectable> i'm not visually forgettable
[19:45] <farchord> Nevermind. Found it.
[19:45] <delectable> farchord:  "never mind" is two words
[19:45] <farchord> It's like doing a channel ban.
[19:46] <escott> farchord, "/ignore delectable ALL"
[19:46] <Flex> delectable would you say it's good to be a newbie or bad?
[19:46] <farchord> escott,  actually /ignore delectable!*@*
[19:46] <delectable> farchord is just jelly
[19:46] <delectable> he wishes he could have me
[19:46] <Flex> delectable, what do you look like?
[19:46] <escott> farchord, xchat adds those bits for me
[19:47] <farchord> escott, not mine, but thats okay :) used to be an ircop XD
[19:47] <delectable> Flex:  blonde hair, blue eyes, slim, short
[19:47] <KE1HA> delectable: If linux / unix is not ready for prime time, then why is this: http://www.top500.org/stats/list/37/os
[19:47] <farchord> KE1HA, do not feed the trolls.
[19:48] <KE1HA> SRI
[19:48] <delectable> that's server stats
[19:48] <delectable> linux is certainly ready for the server
[19:48] <Flex> so?
[19:49] <mega1> is there any way to upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 to 11 from installing from cd
[19:49] <delectable> Flex:  are you hot?
[19:49] <escott> mega1, you mean to avoid the network download
[19:50] <Flex> i've been rated 9/10
[19:50] <tomtiger11> delectable: #ubuntu-offtopic is for ramblings and of the like, not #ubuntu.
[19:50] <dunbar> mega1 use the alternate installer
[19:50] <delectable> Flex:  cool.  guys rate me 10/10
[19:50] <Flex> delectable, amaing
[19:50] <rww> Flex, delectable: Take it elsewhere.
[19:51] <delectable> yeah Flex
[19:51] <delectable> stop flirting lol
[19:51] <Flex> stop hitting on me then!
[19:51] <delectable> you guys wouldn't hate me in real life
[19:51] <delectable> nobody hates me
[19:51] <tomtiger11> delectable: This is for answering questions, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:51] <Flex> delectable, nobody hates you.
[19:51] <delectable> tomtiger11:  wanna see my pic?
[19:52] <auronandace> rww: thank you
[19:52] <farchord> rww, Thank you so much.
[19:52] <iridium> oh my, what a nuisance
[19:52] <Flex> you gave him what he wanted..
[19:53] <Titanoboa> wb
[19:53] <KE1HA> mega1: Boot to UB 10.xx then Alt+F2, then sudo do-release-upgrade
[19:54] <KE1HA> or, DL the LivdCD then upgrade, works the same both ways.
[19:54] <cmanns> So do I still need to do mac address of install client in the pxelinux config symlinked?
[19:56] <Toph2> i have lost rge min,max,x functions from the panels of all my applications,, i think i was fooling around with the compiz cube feature when they disappeared. Any idea how to restore them?
[19:57] <Chubcorp> I have a question about mounting a usb, no where can my system find it, but disk utility can. I've tried to find it with sudo fdisk -1 but it only shows the hard drive. Any help?
[19:57] <dr_willis> Toph2,  does alt-f2 bring up a run dialog?
[19:58] <Toph2> dr_willis,,, it doesn't, no
[19:58] <farchord> Chubcorp, what kind of usb device is it? Flash drive? USB HD?
[19:59] <Chubcorp> Farchord, Flash
[19:59] <dr_willis> Toph2,  well you could log out/back in and seeif it helps.. or if you can somehow get to a terminal now  try some commands to reset the settings. IF
[19:59] <dr_willis> Toph2, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-reset-unity-launcher-icons-or.html
[19:59] <escott> Chubcorp, the disk utility will tell you what the device is
[19:59] <mega1> escott yes
[19:59] <Polah> Could someone guide me through install wxPython2.8.10 on 11.04. The lastest release 2.8.10 release was for karmic and the only version I can get for 11.04 is 2.8.12
[19:59] <farchord> escott, if fdisk doesnt even see it, the disk utility wont
[20:00] <Toph2> dr_willis,,, thanks,, i think this has happened before
[20:00] <dr_willis> Toph2,  command at console to reset compiz ==>   gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1
[20:00] <chewy> bazhang, still there?
[20:00] <dr_willis> we need to get that in a factoid. :)
[20:00] <farchord> Chubcorp, do other devices on usb ports work? I mean, I imply you use a port available on your motherboard here
[20:00] <escott> farchord, he said he could find it in disk utility. Chubcorp look under the "Volumes" section to the right you should see Device: /dev/...
[20:00] <chewy> bazhang, i have installed handbrake for requirements more than features. honestly ogmrip seems much more easy and user friendly.
[20:00] <rivertecpc> hol
[20:01] <farchord> escott, oh.... my bad
[20:01] <n2i> Hi!
[20:01] <n2i> Ubuntu can not detect my new Samsung monitor.
[20:02] <n2i> How to do it manualy?
[20:02] <escott> n2i, what kind of graphics card
[20:02] <Chubcorp> Farchord,  the port works and everything
[20:02] <dr_willis> n2i,  desktop system? laptop?
[20:02] <n2i> g31 chipset :)
[20:02] <n2i> desktop
[20:02] <mega1> can i reinstall ubuntu keeping all my settings
[20:03] <pk__> isn't there any application like PROXIFIER for linux?
[20:03] <farchord> Chubcorp, Id suggest following what escott says then, im still kind of a n00b, was trying to help with the experience I had ^^;
[20:03] <n2i> mega1: yes, unless you format /home while reinstalling
[20:03] <dr_willis> mega1,  backup your /home/ and restore it.. that will restore your users settings.. or if you had your /home/ on a seperate partition. you would just reinstall and NOT format /home/
[20:03] <Chubcorp> Escott, it says /dev/sdd
[20:03] <KE1HA> mega1: doing the upg preserves (as much as possible) current user settings.
[20:03] <n2i> escott, dr_willis: Can you help me?
[20:04] <Alias__> With what?
[20:04] <escott> n2i, what is a g31? is that ati/nvidia/intel...
[20:04] <Titanoboa> dr_willis: should "download updates while installing" and "install third party software" affect the installation in a bad way? i've tried both with and without it but should i prefer one?
[20:04] <KE1HA> mega1: However, re-install would wipe anything you had prevously.
[20:04] <escott> Chubcorp, then determine what partition you want to mount on sdd
[20:05] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  i always do...
[20:05] <n2i> escott: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5KPL_SE/#specifications
[20:05] <dr_willis> Titanoboa,  it installes updates and some ecxtra packages to begin with, that i always want anyway.
[20:05] <KE1HA> try mkdir /media/usb then mount /dev/sdd /media/usb
[20:05] <n2i> I think it is Intel chipset
[20:06] <Chubcorp> Escott, that worked, thanks so much
[20:06] <Titanoboa> ok i guess i'll try with it then
