[06:46] <Out_Cold> oh.. minus the "speaking of which"
[06:47] <Out_Cold> line history is a blessing
[06:47] <ShazbotMcNasty> ugh
[06:47] <ShazbotMcNasty> I can't find a good setup for this box.
[06:48] <ShazbotMcNasty> I need a good desktop/theme/icon set/conky to function on a computer.
[06:48] <ShazbotMcNasty> And this is my girlfriend's computer.
[06:48] <Out_Cold> go pink
[06:48] <ShazbotMcNasty> And i haet it
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> Does  the theme really matter much....
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> pick a differnt one and get on with it
[06:49] <ShazbotMcNasty> :|
[06:50] <Out_Cold> Dr_Willis, i find that eye candy is about 50% of the users and 50% simple
[06:50] <Out_Cold> *for simplicity
[06:50] <ohir> ShazbotMcNasty: can't you just show her how she can do it yourself?
[06:50] <Out_Cold> ^^ agreed make her learn linux lmao
[06:50] <ShazbotMcNasty> ohir, I don't like the wallpapers she picks.
[06:50] <meganerd> that is funny
[06:50] <Out_Cold> it's her computer
[06:50] <ShazbotMcNasty> She know how to do all of the desktop crud
[06:50] <ShazbotMcNasty> I know
[06:51] <ohir> ShazbotMcNasty: girls are not less equipped than we, just a little bit linux-shy
[06:51] <ShazbotMcNasty> but she also wanted a new wallpaper and theme
[06:51] <ShazbotMcNasty> but she doesn't want to do it.
[06:51] <meganerd> there is a link to get new themes from the appearence control
[06:51] <ohir> ShazbotMcNasty: so show her how she can search for herself
[06:51] <Out_Cold> i've met a few good linux chicks
[06:51] <maco> o/
[06:51] <maco> someone asked for a linuxchick?
[06:51] <ShazbotMcNasty> I'm just going to go to gnome-look and search through themes and hopefully it'll come with a good wall that I can use.
[06:52] <ohir> ShazbotMcNasty: and this is her box, not yours. So you need to live vith that ponies on :>
[06:52] <czr_> hi all, looking for some kind of web-thingy that would show me which packages can be upgraded. needs to be run locally (as opposed to landscape) and supporting multiple systems would be a bonus. any ideas?
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> Hello Kity Themes Rule!
[06:52] <petsounds> :p
[06:52] <Out_Cold> hannah montanna themes?
[06:52] <czr_> yes, the web thingy could have hello kitty theme too, I could live with that. any idea?
[06:52] <maco> ShazbotMcNasty: why dont you let her use the wallpaper she wants to use and well...if its her box, youve no say anyway? maybe you can ask the admin to allow you to have your own account on her system?
[06:52] <ShazbotMcNasty> ohir, "she wanted a new background and theme, but she doesn't want to look"
[06:53] <maco> ShazbotMcNasty: if it just pains you *so much* to have to see wallpapers that arent to your taste?
[06:53] <ShazbotMcNasty> read what i write damnit >_<
[06:53] <ohir> ShazbotMcNasty: ah, ok.
[06:53] <maco> ShazbotMcNasty: dont swear
[06:53]  * ohir *chuckles*
[06:53] <MHz128> what is the command used to chage permissions so everyone can read the file?
[06:54] <MHz128> and write
[06:54] <ohir> plain test 'do you know me enough' :)
[06:54] <maco> MHz128: chmod 777 filename
[06:54] <MHz128> great! thanks maco
[06:55] <ShazbotMcNasty> asd.flknav vgkijjh
[06:55] <ShazbotMcNasty> poop
[06:56] <andrew_46> MHz128: 777 is read write and execute
[06:56] <Out_Cold> ShazbotMcNasty, just pick a random one.... or google some small fuzzy animal that she likes. then grab a matching icon/panel theme
[06:57] <ShazbotMcNasty> Out_Cold, I'm okay.
[06:57] <Hilikus> meganerd: is there an opensource replacement for netdrive?
[06:58] <MHz128> andrew_46, cool, its octal right? thats why its so confusing hehe
[06:58] <Miracle> any iphone users here?
[06:59] <meganerd> Hilikus: not that I am aware of...
[07:00] <meganerd> Hilikus: another option might be to set up backuppc.  There is a web front end for the regular users that will on the fly create zip files for them to download
[07:01] <meganerd> MHz128: actually chmod 666 is all that you need, 777 makes it executable as well
[07:01] <meganerd> MHz128: you could also do chmod a+rw filename
[07:01] <andrew_46> MHz128: A nice explanation is here: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/filepermissions.html Have a looks at the section marked 'How to set file permissions - numeric mode'
[07:01] <Alphos> hi :) is there any stable gui for aptitude in a "synaptic-like" manner ?
[07:02] <MHz128> fabulous!
[07:03] <bullgard> Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it?
[07:07] <rahduke> my backup HDD has a few bad sectors whats the fastest and easiest way to fix them?
[07:07] <Out_Cold> Alphos, isn't that what synaptic is?? except for apt
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> Out_Cold:  yea i was about tio say that also.. but dident want to bother. :)
[07:08] <Alphos> Out_Cold : it's the "except for apt" i'm touchy about ^^'
[07:08] <Out_Cold> Alphos, i use aptitude and apt interchangeably
[07:08] <Out_Cold> same same..
[07:08] <rahduke> so yea bad sectors
[07:08] <Alphos> how's that ? synaptic uses aptitude ?
[07:08] <py_> hello
[07:08] <Alphos> i thought it used apt-get
[07:08] <rahduke> pain in the ass drive is reading crappily
[07:09] <Out_Cold> Alphos, they both read the same files and .debs
[07:09] <mneptok> Alphos: apt-get gets far more attention from Ubuntu core devs than does aptitude.
[07:10] <Alphos> yes, but i've heard aptitude does keep track of installs (especially dependencies), which apt-get doesn't
[07:10] <Out_Cold> aptitude install vlc and apt-get install vlc achieve the same result and both use dpkg afaik
[07:10] <py_> I freshly installed a karmic koala system, which is working fine. Now I want to install skype, so I added medibuntu to my sources list and updated. However, apt-cache search skype doesn't find it. Is it not supposed to be there?
[07:10] <mneptok> Alphos: that's patently false.
[07:10] <andrew_46> Out_Cold: I have made some changes, could you dcc that file again?
[07:11] <Out_Cold> * Offering examples.desktop to andrew_46
[07:11] <Alphos> so if i decide to remove a package, synaptic will get me rid of its dependencies too ?
[07:11] <petsounds> py_, yes. but you can always download from skype website.
[07:11] <Alphos> (without me having to remember what dependencies i installed, i mean)
[07:11] <andrew_46> DCC GET Out_Cold examples.desktop
[07:11] <andrew_46> oops
[07:11] <Out_Cold> Alphos, it tells you that you can uninstall them if they are useless
[07:12] <Out_Cold> andrew_46, failed (err=No route to host).
[07:12] <Alphos> hm
[07:12] <mneptok> Alphos: once you remove the package apt-get will tell you "the following packages were installed but are no longer needed"
[07:12] <andrew_46> Out_Cold: Thanks anyway, I obviously have a little work to do yet
[07:12] <Out_Cold> Alphos, ^^ fixed with apt-get autoremove
[07:13] <Alphos> does synaptic take care of autoremove, then ?
[07:13] <blah569> How can I completely remove a mysql installation so I can reinstall it?  (sorry if anyone is still here from earlier, I went afk)
[07:13] <Out_Cold> Alphos, i don't think so
[07:13] <blah569> Or maybe troubleshooting for a solution.  sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start returns [FAIL]
[07:14] <mneptok> blah569: going to try the MariaDB RC? :)
[07:14] <py_> petsounds, thx for the hint, but my question was more like "has something changed in medibuntu that it doesn't offer skype anymore?"
[07:14] <blah569> mneptok:  haha, I might be interested in trying something new, however the current client is interested in using MySQL
[07:15] <mneptok> blah569: PM?
[07:15] <wolter> hi, what are "pre-release updates"?
[07:15] <blah569> mneptok:  sure, that would be cool
[07:15] <Darkedge> Can someone tell me a fancy login manager that ISN'T kdm or gdm, thanks.
[07:15] <Hilikus> how do i disable password access to a particular account in ssh so that only a key can be used?
[07:15] <blah569> not sure how to pm from the freenode webchat haha
[07:16] <bovine> stupid question: is there a way to enable drag and drop from a network share to winamp when its running under wine?
[07:16] <Out_Cold> Darkedge, flux or xdm
[07:17] <Out_Cold> Hilikus, it's in the sshd_config i think
[07:17] <Flynsarmy> I have both wired and wireless enabled on my laptop - both set to the same IP. I want ethernet to take over when i plug it in keeping hte same static IP my wireless was using. When i plug in ethernet everything just sits on 'looking up' for about 2 mins before it finally loads the page. ideas?
[07:18] <Flynsarmy> It loads perfectly fine when either wifi or ethernet are enabled on their own
[07:18] <Hilikus> Out_Cold: i can only find how to disable it for the while daemon though. not for a user
[07:18] <Alphos> thanks for your help, Out_Cold :)
[07:18] <Darkedge> Out_Cold: well, based on what I see, xdm is quite lame http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ec/Xdm_Screenshot.png and flux is a DE not a login manager
[07:19] <Out_Cold> Darkedge, lame and linux aren't too far apart from each other :p
[07:19] <Darkedge> Can someone tell me where I can find the lattest gdm packaged for Ubuntu?
[07:20] <Out_Cold> Hilikus, yea i guess i never tried for an individual user
[07:20] <Darkedge> Out_Cold: uhm no, look at the lattest kde :)
[07:21] <Out_Cold> http://projects.gnome.org/gdm/
[07:21] <Out_Cold> might have to build from source
[07:23] <Flynsarmy> Anyone got networking working with ethernet and wifi having the same IP without needing to disable the other when plugging one in?
[07:24] <Out_Cold> Flynsarmy, i think that you need to have 2 seperate IP addys. when i try that out in my head, i don't think 2 different devices can have the same IP on the same network
[07:25] <Flynsarmy> Out_Cold: i used to do it with earlier ubuntus...the wifi would just take over when it was plugged in
[07:25] <Flynsarmy> Out_Cold: errr...i meant ethernet would take over...
[07:26] <Out_Cold> but before i think that you could only use one interface at a time
[07:26] <Flynsarmy> Out_Cold: yea that's pretty much what i want to do. i don't want to need to manually disable wifi every time i plug in my ethernet for the internet to work...i didn't hae to in earlier ubuntus
[07:29] <Out_Cold> Flynsarmy, what IP does it assign when you plug in the lan?
[07:29] <bullgard> Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it?
[07:30] <Out_Cold> !pulse
[07:30] <Flynsarmy> Out_Cold: they both say <IP_ADDRESS> however the broadcast address on one is <IP_ADDRESS> with subnet <IP_ADDRESS> and on the other its broadcast <IP_ADDRESS> with subnet <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:31] <Out_Cold> Flynsarmy, perhaps it's something in /etc/network/interfaces
[07:32] <Out_Cold> maybe they need the same subnet?
[07:32] <Flynsarmy> Out_Cold: all it has in there is iface lo inet loopback. Yea i'll see if i can make them teh same
[07:33] <Flynsarmy> Out_Cold: that was my problem - wrong netmask. Thanks for the help :)
[07:34] <Out_Cold> knew i was good for something
[07:34] <Out_Cold> it helps to talk out your problems
[07:34] <Out_Cold> i usually find my solutions while i am trying to pastebin all my info
[07:35] <Out_Cold> except for today's nfs iptable rules
[07:35] <meganerd> I don't use nfs anymore, so I could not help out there
[07:36] <Out_Cold> i couldn't get smb to work... so went to nfs.... and now that i'm trying to clean up my iptables from a huge mess, i can't get them to work
[07:37] <reeniginEesreveR> my cronjobs don't run well unless i provide full path to every executable ... is it possible to inherit PATH variables in my cronjobs environment?
[07:38] <neoalex> hello I'm getting the following error in log.nmbd
[07:38] <neoalex> Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
[07:39] <neoalex>  Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name
[07:39] <neoalex> any ideas on what how to fix this?
[07:40] <meganerd> Out_Cold: what was the problem with samba?
[07:40] <neoalex> meganerd - this error in log.nmbd: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name
[07:40] <Out_Cold> can't remember... something to do with the connection i think..
[07:40] <Out_Cold> someone suggested nfs as an idea and i went with that..
[07:41] <abumaia> does anyone have a clue why my laptop screen turns off after 30 minutes, even though I have the screensaver turned off, and power management set to leave the screen on no matter what?
[07:41] <Out_Cold> the nfs works.. i know that because i can remove all my iptable rules and it does work... but when i add the rules i lose connection
[07:42] <meganerd> Out_Cold: nfs was always flakey for me.  Samba has been a solid solution for me years (well 10+ now), even when doing nix to nix
[07:43] <obiwan_> hi, please i'm revoking a key, and the reason is that i don't use it anymore. That reason will be shown forever in the ubuntu keyserver, so please, could any native english speaker a formal short phrase? is "Not used anymore" ok? or maybe "Disabled" ? thanks :)
[07:43] <Out_Cold> meganerd, what do you use to set your firewall??
[07:44] <meganerd> all I allow is TCP 455
[07:44] <abumaia> obiwan: unused?
[07:44] <meganerd> erm 445
[07:44] <obiwan_> Ok abumaia thanks :)
[07:44] <Out_Cold> meganerd, how do you set that?
[07:45] <Out_Cold> meganerd, what app you call to do so.. or you use hosts.allow/deny?
[07:46] <meganerd> iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 445 -i eth0 -j ACCEPT
[07:46] <meganerd> I don't bother with hosts allow or deny, too easy to spoof IPs, especially on someone else's LAN
[07:47] <meganerd> or wifi
[07:47] <kinja-sheep> abumaia: Key Revoked (Reason: Discontinued)
[07:47] <kinja-sheep> Err, obiwan_ ^^ :)
[07:47] <abumaia> kinja-sheep:  thanks, but that's not for me ^_^
[07:48] <Out_Cold> yea.. i was trying to steer away from those.. which is why i am struggling with these stupid rules..
[07:48] <abumaia> is there anything other than the screensaver and power management that controls whether the screen is on or off due to idle time?
[07:49] <meganerd> sometimes the BIOS does
[07:49] <meganerd> Out_Cold: if you want to avoid some of the pain of building rules by hand, check out the fwbuilder app
[07:49] <abumaia> meganerd: hmm, I hadn't thought of that, I'll have to check next time I reboot.  thanks ^_^
[07:49] <meganerd> abumaia: np
[07:50] <Out_Cold> might do it. ty
[07:51] <meganerd> Out_Cold: if you are interested in this sort of thing, the book "Linux Firewalls" by Michael Rash (nostarch press) is really quite good
[07:52] <Out_Cold> meganerd, i find that i don't have interests in these things till they kick me in the butt...
[07:52] <Out_Cold> but i'll go take a look. ty
[07:52] <meganerd> Out_Cold: well, we all have our neurosis, mine are audio and networking
[07:54] <reactor> anybody?
[07:54] <reactor> how can I check HDD for hardware errors?
[07:55] <Out_Cold> reactor, fsck
[07:55] <abumaia> reactor:  SMART?
[07:55] <reactor> hmm
[07:55] <meganerd> smartmon
[07:55] <reactor> I seem to have bad surface I mean
[07:55] <misterB> reactor: badblocks
[07:55] <reactor> roger
[07:56] <qweqweqwe> hi, how do you make services (ie ssh) start on bootup in ubuntu?  like chkconfig in redhat...
[07:56] <meganerd> reactor: boot from a rescue disk, then scan the drive with fsck -c
[07:56] <reactor> ok
[07:56] <reactor> brb
[07:56] <misterB> reactor: sudo badblocks -nvs /dev/sda (but replace 'sda' with the drive you want to check)
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> qweqweqwe:  ubuntu uses 'upstart' for most services and  sysv for a few others. So i depends on the exact service. see /etc/init to tell what ones are handled by upstart
[07:57] <qweqweqwe> thanks
[07:58] <misterB> Here's a question for anyone with virtualbox experience. I'm having trouble incorporating the kernel module I think. Take a look at this for all of the errors I'm seeing: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m2ebf69bc
[07:59] <sontek> Trying to install ubuntu on a laptop with 64mb of memory and i'm getting: kernel panic not syncing out of memory and no killable process
[08:00] <meowbuntu> hi my panel will no longer show apps in use
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> sontek:  using the alterntive installer cd I hope? I doubt if it will be very useable on 64mb of ram.
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> !lowram
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> Thers some low memory factoid/guide i recall
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> !lowmemory
[08:01] <meganerd> sontek: use the alternate installer, and consider a lightwer weight UI like xfce
[08:01] <meowbuntu> sontek, you need a minimum of 512 mb or ram to run ubuntu. (best is 1gig or more)
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> I got ubuntu going on 128mb of ram on my imac PPC - but its so sluggish its barely useable
[08:02] <meganerd> meowbuntu: not true, I have one system with 128 MiB
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> 'to run well' :) 512mb+
[08:02] <Jasonrj> My Xubuntu runs nicely on 256MB
[08:02] <Out_Cold> meganerd, before 6.1?
[08:02] <meowbuntu> hi my panel will no longer show apps in use what can i do
[08:02] <meganerd> misterB: what CPU do you have?
[08:03] <meganerd> Out_Cold: ???
[08:04] <Out_Cold> meganerd, was the 128mb with a release before or after 6.10? i tried something similar and had to revert to 6.10 for it to work with 128
[08:04] <obiwan_> guys, i got a question about the ubuntu code of coundct, if i sign it, and a month later change my mind, can i revoke it? or is whole life long?
[08:04] <misterB> meganerd: amd turionX2 64bit
[08:04] <meowbuntu> any ideas for me please
[08:04] <obiwan_> please, answer, i'm about to become an official ubunter  and that's my last question
[08:04] <petsounds> obiwan_, you can always change it.
[08:04] <Out_Cold> obiwan_, plan on defying us?
[08:04] <obiwan_> how petsounds ?
[08:04] <meganerd> Out_Cold: 8.04 IIRC
[08:04] <misterB> meowbuntu: are you refering to the bottom panel to which you can minimize apps?
[08:05] <meowbuntu> !ask | obiwan_
[08:05] <petsounds> obiwan_, there's an instruction when you sign it
[08:05] <obiwan_> Out_Cold: defy? what do you mean Out_Cold ? please explain
[08:05] <meganerd> Out_Cold: I *always* use the alternate installer, even on my laptop with 4GiB of ram
[08:05] <Out_Cold> nevermind..
[08:05] <meowbuntu> obiwan_, is ubuntu your first linux os
[08:06] <wolter> Hi, can somebody tell me how to get rid of this? http://imagebin.ca/img/E5Ni8s.png
[08:06] <obiwan_> petsounds: i don't understand, i didn't get any instruction when downloaded the code, and in the launchad/codeofconduct doesn't say anything either
[08:06] <bullgard> Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it?
[08:06] <wolter> its some weird osd
[08:06] <obiwan_> yeah meowbuntu
[08:06] <meowbuntu> ok obiwan_ can i pm you for a sec
[08:06] <obiwan_> sure !
[08:07] <petsounds> wolter, is that gnome-do?
[08:07] <meganerd> misterB: do you have the kernel headers installed?  also which virtualbox packages do you have installed?
[08:07] <wolter> petsounds, yes, but I mean what is in front of it
[08:07] <wolter> the ugly text
[08:07] <wolter> the irc one
[08:08] <Out_Cold> wolter, what irc client?
[08:08] <misterB> meganerd: I forgot to install kernel headers when I reinstalled the system. Duh. I'm using the packages from virtualbox.org because I need USB support.
[08:08] <petsounds> wolter, not sure about that but double check at gnome-do plugins and untick it.
[08:09] <wolter> hm.. its not a gnome-do plugin
[08:09] <wolter> its a system-wide osd
[08:09] <wolter> but I don't think it is notify-osd
[08:09] <Out_Cold> could be an irc osd
[08:09] <meganerd> misterB: I am using the 9.10 packages, I did not realize that USB did not work
[08:09] <misterB> meganerd: kernel headers were already installed
[08:10] <meganerd> I am migrating from vmware workstation, and so far I like virtualbox the best
[08:10] <misterB> meganerd: the OSE version does not incorporate USB support
[08:10] <meganerd> misterB: anyway, do you have the virtualbox modules loaded?
[08:11] <wolter> can somebody ping me please?
[08:11] <misterB> meganerd: How do I check
[08:11] <meganerd> misterB: lsmod |grep vbox
[08:11] <kinja-sheep> wolter: Pong.
[08:11] <wolter> thanks kinja-sheep
[08:12] <SwedeMike> CTCP PING reply from wolter: 1.012 seconds
[08:12] <SwedeMike> wolter: you don't reply to ICMP PING though
[08:12] <meowbuntu> hi my panel will no longer show apps in use what can i do
[08:12] <meganerd> hist router is dropping ICMP
[08:12] <wolter> thanks both
[08:13] <misterB> meganerd: nothing came up, and I did notice an error somewhere that said file was missing from ... Let me find it.
[08:13] <meganerd> kind of useless
[08:13] <maco> meowbuntu: right click on panel -> add to panel -> window list?
[08:13] <wolter> SwedeMike, I just wanted someone to mention my name so xchat would notify me, so I could test the notifications
[08:13] <Out_Cold> gnight all
[08:13] <kinja-sheep> SwedeMike: Can you CTCP ping metoo?
[08:13] <wolter> Weegee, but thanks anyway
[08:14] <misterB> meganerd: error was 'Module vboxdrv does not exist in /proc/modules'
[08:15] <meowbuntu> maco, thanks that did it
[08:15] <misterB> meganerd: did you see my post in pastebin?
[08:15] <meganerd> misterB: m2ebf69bc ?
[08:15] <misterB> yeah
[08:16] <wolter> hm.. one more ping for me please?
[08:16] <kinja-sheep> wolter: Oorah!
[08:16] <wolter> and again
[08:16] <meganerd> misterB: try modprobing these three modules manually: vboxdrv vboxnetadp vboxnetflt
[08:16] <kinja-sheep> wolter: Booyah!
[08:16] <wolter> ah thanks
[08:16] <wolter> yeah, for those who saw my screenshot, it was gnome-osd
[08:16] <wolter> had uninstalled it but it kept running.. forgot to kill it
[08:19] <obiwan_> please, petsounds could you tell me where is the instruction so i can read it? i really want to make sure i can change my mind about the contract i sign, it isn't anything written about it on the contract itself
[08:19] <misterB> meganerd: I got the following errors: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m52bbf2c
[08:19] <meganerd> misterB: you need root privs, try using sudo in front
[08:20] <misterB> meganerd: did that. see the error messages below the first
[08:21] <meganerd> misterB: I see that you are missing the net modules, this means that you will be unable to bridge interfaces, but you should still be able to boot your VMs in NAT mode
[08:21] <meganerd> what does dmesg say?
[08:24] <misterB> meganerd: see post below errors on http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m7bfc8e81
[08:25] <meganerd> misterB: how did you build these modules?
[08:26] <obiwan_> please guys, could anybody tell me if i can change my mind after signing the ubuntu code of conduct ? the code itself doesn't tell a word about it, so i'm unsure, and i don't want to sign a contract for whole life long, not even an friendly ubuntu one
[08:26] <misterB> meganerd: I installed http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian in my repositories and did an apt-get
[08:26] <kinja-sheep> obiwan_: Best to ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:26] <meganerd> obiwan_: simply revoke your key, or submit a bug/feature request
[08:27] <misterB> meganerd: I'm going to try downloading the deb from their site and see if that works better.
[08:27] <meganerd> misterB: in the /usr/src directory, do you have a virtualbox directory
[08:27] <obiwan_> thanks kinja-sheep
[08:28] <obiwan_> meganerd: but that ain't revoke my signature, just the key i signed it with
[08:28] <obiwan_> ok i'll ask at offtopic
[08:28] <misterB> meganerd: yes called 'vboxdrv-2.0.12'
[08:29] <meganerd> misterB: do you have a package called virtualbox-dkms?
[08:30] <misterB> meganerd: not that I can tell
[08:30] <misterB> meganerd: searched in synaptic and found nothing.
[08:30] <osirisx11> network file shares (from folder properties) - i shared a folder on one computer on my network, what can i do to make it appear in other computers on the network inside of the "Network" browser aka network:/// ?
[08:31] <meganerd> misterB: on my system the ose one is called: virtualbox-ose-dkms
[08:31] <CrAzYoNi> Hi all
[08:31] <meganerd> osirisx11: add an entry in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[08:31] <meganerd> osirisx11: of course you need to install samba first
[08:31] <meowbuntu> can ubuntu 9.10 run on a dell mini 9
[08:32] <realLife> i cant extract .rar under linux
[08:32] <realLife> why
[08:32] <meganerd> meowbuntu: is that an Atom based device?
[08:32] <CrAzYoNi> I'm using Ubuntu9.10 as guest on VMware, I'm trying to bridge into it my edimax 802.11g wireless pci card, but Ubuntu recognize it as Ethernet, while  I can successfully bridge my Edimax Wireless N USB card, do you might have any ideas for me?
[08:32] <kinja-sheep> !hcl | meowbuntu
[08:32] <misterB> meganerd: don't see anything like that.
[08:32] <meganerd> misterB: try searching from the command line "aptitude search virtualbox"
[08:33] <meganerd> realLife: because rar is a patent encumbered format
[08:33] <osirisx11> meowbuntu: is there no GUI way to do this? why would ubuntu have a way to share files but no obvious way to access them on other computers?
[08:33] <realLife> i need to extract this file quickly :O how do I do it?
[08:33] <bmatthew> is there a netbook remix channel?
[08:33] <meganerd> realLife: sudo aptitude install unrar
[08:33] <realLife> that makes 2% sence
[08:34] <meganerd> realLife: I use 7zip for everything, I usually install: p7zip-full p7zip-rar
[08:34] <misterB> meganerd: there is nothing listed with dkms
[08:34] <lyrae> is there a program that lets you create a program's flowchart?
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> !rar
[08:34] <meowbuntu> meganerd,  kinja-sheep its actually for obiwan_ i was asking
[08:35] <meowbuntu> ^ i'm in pm with him
[08:35] <realLife> thats enough ubunto for today bye :<
[08:35] <bmatthew> id like some more in-depth information as to how ubuntu netbook remix has been 'optimized' for the atom processor.  anyone got anything?
[08:36] <kinja-sheep> meowbuntu, obiwan_ : I know Dell Mini 10 (terrible) and 10v (great) both works. However, 10v resembles similar hardware as 9 so I would think it is.
[08:36] <misterB> meganerd: is it possible that the virtualbox-dkms pakage doesn't exist for 64bit?
[08:36] <meganerd> misterB: I am using 64bit
[08:36] <meganerd> misterB: I just figured it out, I have the PPA for Virtualbox OSE
[08:37] <osirisx11> meganerd: keep in mind ose does not have usb support
[08:37] <misterB> osirisx11: we've discussed that. That's why I'm having trouble. I'm not using the OSE
[08:38] <misterB> meganerd: I'm going to try uninstalling, and reinstalling the package from virtualbox website to see if that fixes the problem first
[08:38] <meganerd> misterB: user aptitude purge
[08:38] <meganerd> misterB: use aptitude purge
[08:39] <osirisx11> misterB: ok cool
[08:40] <misterB> meganerd: just realized I was using an old version (2.0). That might be the problem.
[08:41] <meganerd> misterB: ahh, I am downloading the latest as we speak... gotta love 15mbit connections
[08:41] <meganerd> I am doing a presentation at our LUG in march on virtualization
[08:41] <meganerd> I should probably test both versions, since it is a shootout :)
[08:43] <misterB> meganerd: here's the reason I'm not going OSE. My wife has an iPod Touch, and so far, the only thing that I can get it to work flawlessly with is iTunes, and you can't WINE iTunes.
[08:43] <osirisx11> what can i do to make ubuntu shared folders visible in other computers on the network inside of the "Network" browser aka network:/// ?
[08:44] <misterB> meganerd: hence I need usb support on the virtual machine for iPod management.
[08:44] <misterB> osirisx11: smb?
[08:45] <misterB> osirisx11: if you don't like smb, you can use ssh
[08:46] <osirisx11> either would be fine, but to an end user who is sharing files, editing an smb conf is not a good answer
[08:46] <osirisx11> if i have a share, it should be visible already on the other computers
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:   the user 'shares' tghey can create use samba/smb  or you could set up where the users homes get shared by samba by default. or you could set up NFS shares.
[08:46] <misterB> osirisx11: ubuntu does smb the friendly way with context menus and graphical interfaces.
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:  douible check your workgroup. and try typing in the url  manually in the file manager address bar.
[08:47] <osirisx11> my workgroup?
[08:47] <osirisx11> i have all ubuntu 9.10 on my network
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> Yes. You want to have all pcs in the same workgroup normally
[08:48] <osirisx11> where is my workgroup setting?
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> in teh samba configs
[08:48] <osirisx11> i haven't changed the smb config files
[08:48] <Dr_Willis>  /etc/samba/smb.conf
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> you DID install samba on all the machines?
[08:48] <triple_xxx> apt-fast over apt-get give it a try it rock the house... ;)
[08:48] <misterB> osirisx11: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[08:48] <osirisx11> thanks guys
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> you did give the users samba passwords with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' on the machines...
[08:49] <osirisx11> why do i have to DO that though?
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> of course for  linux to linux - NFS will be faster
[08:49] <osirisx11> i checked the checkbox under folder properties and hit create share
[08:49] <MorphyNOR> osirisx11: don't use smb for linux to linux :)
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:  because thats how samba works. In theory it SHOULD of installed the samba service once you enabled those.
[08:49] <Dr_Willis> Theres MUCH MUCH MICH more to samba then 'just a way for users to share a specific folder'
[08:49] <osirisx11> i know you guys think i am being stubborn but i want you to think of it from an end user's perspective
[08:49] <Bakefy> Hello everyone
[08:50] <misterB> meganerd: updated version works like a charm
[08:50] <osirisx11> if i check "share this folder" and "create share" then in a user's mind it should show up in the other computer
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> The idea of the users even being able to make their own personal shares - is a relatively 'new' feature
[08:50] <MorphyNOR> !hello | Bakefy
[08:50] <bmatthew> lol
[08:50] <c_nick> Ubuntu 9 onwards do not work on my P4-P4i45GV-1GB RAM pc
[08:50] <Dr_Willis> my users shares work fine here.. but i also have installed and configured the samba server how i wanted it.
[08:51] <osirisx11> Dr_Willis: how do you figure? had file shares since win95 or win nt right?
[08:51] <misterB> osirisx11: did you take a look at the help page I referred to?
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:  i have every users home directory set up as a share.
[08:51] <Bakefy> Thanks for the welcome.  I was wondering if anyone here has installed ubuntu on their ps3. (im not getting any responces on ubuntu-ps3 channel.
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:   you are thinking of windows.. we are discussing linux .
[08:51] <triple_xxx> lol bots nuts :)
[08:51] <c_nick> !hi | all
[08:51] <osirisx11> i appreciate your guys' advice! i don't know anything about NFS.
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:  if you were not using gnome - you woudlent even have the 'share this folder' feature   not sure that KDE has it at all.
[08:51] <MorphyNOR> Bakefy: You should probably try to be more precise :)
[08:52] <MorphyNOR> !nfs | osirisx11
[08:52] <osirisx11> thanks
[08:52] <ben_germany> hi guys! i have a problem with multiple desktops running under ubuntu 9.10. i usually have my laptop at home with a monitor hooked up to its HDMI port, but today i took it with me to the university. now the problem is that when i boot up ubuntu, the laptop screen stays black, as if the second monitor (which isnt here) was the only one active. is there any combination of keys that i can git, so it switches back to normal?
[08:52] <osirisx11> would NFS it show up in the network browser?
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:  with NFS you could set up where each machines /home gets shared to each other machine some hiow. and transfer files . no real need for a dozen individual shares.
[08:52] <ben_germany> *hit, sorry
[08:52] <Bakefy> MorphyNOR: I am not able to install ubuntu on my PS3.  I go through all the steps and then it fails to boot into ubuntu
[08:52] <c_nick> MorphyNOR: For 5 seconds i was mistaking that for NEED FOR SPEED :P
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:  the network 'browser' is for samba shares.
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> You dont normally browse for nfs shares.
[08:53] <MASARUwota> ben_germany: does your laptop have function keys? maybe those work?
[08:53] <MorphyNOR> c_nick: but it is, just that :P
[08:53] <ben_germany> no, tried that :(
[08:53] <MASARUwota> ah
[08:53] <osirisx11> Dr_Willis: then why do i have to click Windows Network after i go to the network browser?
[08:53] <ben_germany> doesnt do it
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:  network:/// here shows all my machines on my lan.
[08:53] <MorphyNOR> Bakefy: well, what exactly do you mean by fails to boot?
[08:53] <meganerd> osirisx11: you may have had file shares since windows 3.x, but they did not automatically appear on every other computer, you had to add the shares manually from every client
[08:53] <MASARUwota> ben_germany: it works fine at home?
[08:54] <Dr_Willis>  but it could be because ive allready connected to the other machines befor. so it knows they are there
[08:54] <EastDallas> ben_germany:  try fn+f4
[08:54] <ben_germany> when the monitor is hooked up to it, yes. i watched a movie on it yesterday night, so i suppose it should still work :)
[08:54] <osirisx11> thanks guys!
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> the 'windows network' icon shows all the different workgroups here forme
[08:54] <Bakefy> MorphyNOR: it acts like I never installed it.  I installed 9.10 (for ps3) and used petitboot.  I should see a hard drive after installing... I dont get that.
[08:54] <osirisx11> off topic: anyone know how i can do batch autocrop and autoresize on a set of images? #gimp were not helpful
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> all the machines in the default workgroup show up in network:/// here
[08:55] <osirisx11> Dr_Willis: thanks!
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> osirisx11:  imagmagick tools can do that
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> !find image
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> if i can spell it right :)
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> !info imagemagick
[08:55] <kinja-sheep> osirisx11: imagemagick
[08:55] <osirisx11> thanks
[08:56] <osirisx11> ta ta guys
[08:56] <triple_xxx> !find play
[08:56] <ben_germany> could i enter anything into the recovery console, so that it switches back to the regular config?
[08:56] <Bakefy> MorphyNOR: http://psubuntu.com/wiki/SetupPS3 - thats the guide i have been using
[08:56] <rethus> how can i find out which vendor y ram has?
[08:56] <triple_xxx> Dr_Willis: are you telling me by running !find it search's and active repository????
[08:57] <EastDallas> ben_germany: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:57] <kinja-sheep> triple_xxx: Yes.
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> triple_xxx:  !find is a bot command see how the bot responded?
[08:57] <ben_germany> alright, thatnks
[08:57] <ben_germany> i will try that :)
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> !find rc.local
[08:57] <kinja-sheep> !find Dr_Willis
[08:57] <meowbuntu> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> !info pornview
[08:58] <triple_xxx> Dr_Willis: I thought the bot was to dump to be smart I guess I will have to take that back
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> The bot does what the scripts tell it to do.
[08:58] <misterB> meganerd: if you do install the non-OSE version of virtualbox, be sure to edit the vboxusers group to include yourself or your usb functionality will be limited.
[08:58] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[08:58] <kinja-sheep> triple_xxx: The bot is only smart as you allow it to.
[08:59] <meowbuntu> Dr_Willis, what a strange name for an application. whats if for this XXXXview
[08:59] <rethus> how can i find out which vendor y ram has?
[08:59] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[08:59] <triple_xxx> Dr_Willis: what can the bot do other then greet you at the door and give you a search function????
[08:59] <chasedawg11> I cant log in when i try. I'm going off of the live cd. how do i fix it
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> !bot
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> It can tell you where to find teh bot docs. :)
[09:00] <triple_xxx> !find bith bot
[09:00] <triple_xxx> ops
[09:00] <chasedawg11>  I cant log in when i try.  I'm going off of the live cd. how do i fix it
[09:01] <triple_xxx> Myrtti: just to much fun watching bot work lol :)
[09:01] <EastDallas> meowbuntu: you have to add the repo
[09:01] <kinja-sheep> meowbuntu: http://www.google.com/chrome
[09:02] <rethus> how can i find out which vendor y ram has?
[09:02] <triple_xxx> !find apt-fast
[09:02] <EastDallas> meowbuntu: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa
[09:02] <kinja-sheep> triple_xxx: "/msg ubottu !find apt-fast"
[09:02] <Myrtti> triple_xxx: it's busy on many channel and if you don't have a real need for the bot factoids, please do not abuse it. It has better things to do than keep you entertained
[09:02] <meowbuntu> thanks the wine version of chrome is unstable for me
[09:02] <chasedawg11>  I cant log in when i try. I'm going off of the live cd. how do i fix it
[09:03] <triple_xxx> kinja-sheep: this has only been out about a month started on 12-15-2009 There is not going to be an update for apt-fast yet
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> meowbuntu:  ive had no problems with the google chrome from the google repos.
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> meowbuntu:  i just follow the 'google chrome linux' links i get in google.
[09:04] <meowbuntu> EastDallas, Dr_Willis here is the ubuntu native installer for google chrome http://www.google.com/chrome
[09:04] <triple_xxx> manual install is needed for apt-fast uses axel to speed up downloads on apt-get
[09:04] <EastDallas> meowbuntu: I had issues printing with Chrome, but not with Chromium
[09:04] <Dr_Willis> meowbuntu:  one thing to watch out for is i recall there being 2 versions of google chrome - one dosent (or dident) have the extensions feature
[09:05] <triple_xxx> Myrtti: what you mean this bot surfs more then one irc channel????
[09:05] <EastDallas> meowbuntu: the link I gave you is for the daily builds of the unbranded FOSS version of chrome: chromium
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> EastDallas:  i think  ive also had printing issues.. but i never did look into it much
[09:05] <Myrtti> triple_xxx: it is present on many channels.
[09:05] <EastDallas> Dr_Willis: there
[09:05] <kinja-sheep> triple_xxx: ubottu is in multiple #ubuntu channels
[09:06] <meowbuntu> EastDallas, in linux you have to use chromium not chrome itself for licence reasons
[09:06] <Myrtti> meowbuntu: *have* to? eh
[09:06] <EastDallas> Dr_Willis: There's a known issue...I'll find the bug number....
[09:06] <EastDallas> meowbuntu: not true...google just released Chrome for linux a few weeks ago
[09:06] <Myrtti> meowbuntu: I use Chrome just fine, because I do not have license issues
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> http://www.google.com/chrome
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> meowbuntu:  i just get the google-chrome.deb and inxtall it...
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> i think the .deb also adds a new repo to let it get updated
[09:07] <ben_germany> hm weird
[09:07] <meowbuntu> Myrtti, its something to do with google licensing
[09:07] <web1109> I used to be able to remove the username and leave the just power button on the top right, howto on karmic?
[09:07] <ben_germany> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org did not work
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html
[09:07] <triple_xxx> Myrtti: I thought chrome was free?????
[09:07] <Myrtti> meowbuntu: why would they have a Linux version of Chrome if they had licence issues prohibiting it?
[09:08] <Myrtti> triple_xxx: as in price, yes it is
[09:08] <meowbuntu> Myrtti, even if i install chromimuc it still calles it chrome ok
[09:08] <EastDallas> Dr_Willis: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=30471
[09:08] <geirha> triple_xxx: chromium is free
[09:08] <rethus> how can i find out which vendor y ram has?
[09:08] <strange_> whats the best ubuntu help chan?
[09:08] <web1109> rethus: install hardinfo
[09:09] <Myrtti> rethus: you're not making sense, could you reword your question?
[09:09] <czr_> Myrtti, you can run chrome nowadays. they distribute 32 and 64-bit debs and rpms
[09:09] <triple_xxx> geirha: I know that ,but the browser costs money?????
[09:09] <meowbuntu> Myrtti, chrom is not opensorce chromium is opensorce thats all
[09:09] <kinja-sheep> triple_xxx: Free as in "free beer" but not free as in "free to do whatever you want"
[09:09] <EastDallas> meowbuntu: I have both Chrome and Chromium installed.  They are separate apps.
[09:09] <djhash> hey.. I was installing some updates but the power went out. How can i check if there are any errors and redo them? right now update manager is showing me a list of apps that was not in the previous list. nothing from previous list is on this new one even though it did not finish the update. Also this new list will not install, corrupted package or something...
[09:09] <Myrtti> czr_: yes, surprisingly I do know that, since I've got them both installed. meowbuntu has more problems with this
[09:09] <Miracle> ver <IP_ADDRESS> says it was made possible by the chromium project. so it is chrome
[09:09] <geirha> triple_xxx: No money, just got an extra licence that limits what you are allowed to do with it.
[09:09] <czr_> ah yes, my bad myrtti :-)
[09:09] <meowbuntu> EastDallas, ok thats great i learnt something. what the differance
[09:10] <meowbuntu> EastDallas, pm me so we dont clog the channel
[09:10] <EastDallas> meowbuntu: chrome is based on Chromium.
[09:10] <triple_xxx> rethus: pull your computer apart and look at the brand name... is that what you want to know?????
[09:10] <marabout> when I log in grub menu indicates there are other versions installed, e.g. 8.04, etc. how can I delete those so just 8.10 remains?
[09:10] <rethus> Myrtti: i have two slots free (of my ram bank) and now have ddr 400 dualchannel-ram (2x512) and i want to upgrade it to dualchannel
[09:10] <meowbuntu> east i know about that
[09:11] <rethus> i think to have dual channel ram, its needed to have the same vendors?! so i need to now exactly what vendor and type my ram now is
[09:11] <kinja-sheep> Okay. I'm trying to accomplish something but I can't get it to work with fstab. When you mount partitions, you get /media/$RANDOM. How can I specify to use $NAME?
[09:11] <Myrtti> rethus: you can try "sudo lshw"
[09:11] <EastDallas> meowbuntu: that's the difference
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> meowbuntu:  http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2008/09/google-unveils-chrome-source-code-and-linux-port.ars  has some info in the diffs
[09:12] <strange_> anyone know anything about raid5 and growing?
[09:12] <kinja-sheep> rethus: "sudo lshw -c memory"
[09:12] <meowbuntu> EastDallas, i pm you
[09:13] <rethus> kinja-sheep: mhh, wokrks., but vendor and product is "none"
[09:13] <rethus> :(
[09:13] <kinja-sheep> rethus: Cheap generic brand, maybe? :\
[09:13] <Hunt2> Hi all, i do not have gnome desktop when i login, how can i get it bak?
[09:14] <Hunt2> i am using xfce now, and need to get gnome back..
[09:14] <web1109> rethus: i thinks there are programs on the bootable ubcd that give good details on sys components
[09:14] <ouyes> gdm start
[09:14] <kinja-sheep> Hunt2: Log out. Change it in sessions.
[09:14] <triple_xxx> Hunt2: at the bottom of the screen it should allow you to change session
[09:15] <Dr_Willis> everyone always overlooks the session menus in the GDM login screen
[09:15] <ouyes> what is ops??
[09:15] <strange_> Does anyone know how to grow a raid 5?
[09:15] <rethus> but did i need exactly the same ram x4 or can i use my 2x512 and buy 2x 1GB - with not to loose the dualchannel?

[09:36] <phimic> i got a problem with two network interfaces
[09:36] <ouyes> phimic,  hi you
[09:36] <jami> r4ban: alsamixer -c 0 or -c 1
[09:36] <ershad> ouyes, I got 6 DVDs of ubuntu 9.04 repository. I would like to install software from it..
[09:36] <jami> r4ban: -c 0 is default
[09:37] <phimic> eth0 is connected to public lan and eth1 is connected to trusted network
[09:37] <r4ban> jami: only 1 works and it's the tv card
[09:37] <jami> r4ban: hm
[09:37] <phimic> if eth1 is up interface eth0 cannot be pinged
[09:37] <ouyes> ershad,  you have to change the source, and use the dvd as the source
[09:37] <ershad> ouyes, as per ubuntuforums, i tried 'apt-cdrom add' for disks, but 'apt-get update'
[09:37] <jami> r4ban: but die device is present in /dev/snd/*
[09:37] <Forcex> its ok sorry to bother
[09:37] <Forcex> ill just uninstall ubuntu
[09:37] <meowbuntu> are dbg apps any good

[09:39] <Computech> We have a computer here which has a hebrew language but the password is is normal language. But on the login screen we can't change from hebrew to normal, does someone know how that works?
[09:40] <ouyes> ershad,  try this ( i never tried) go to system> admin>software source  chose third-part software click "Add CD_ROM"
[09:40] <ranjan> erashad , i think you can achieve the gole by adding those dvd's in software source
[09:41] <ershad> ouyes, it's the same option as that of 'add cdrom' from synaptic, right ? i have tried it
[09:41] <jami> r4ban: did you run asoundconf list before?
[09:41] <web1109> Computech: once you click on the username, on the bottom look for "keyboard" (in Karmic)
[09:41] <ershad> ouyes, i could see all disks listed in sources,
[09:41] <ouyes> ershad, first insert the dvd , then try it again
[09:41] <ershad> ouyes, from DVD number 1 ?
[09:42] <Computech> web1109, i think it's using a loginscreen without the keyboard button on the bottom.
[09:42] <r4ban> jami: no error messages on aplay
[09:42] <r4ban> lemme show you the pastebin
[09:42] <web1109> Computech: for me the keyboard button showes up only after i click the username
[09:43] <Computech> Let me check that.
[09:43] <r4ban> jami: http://pastebin.org/78097
[09:44] <r4ban> jami: i did not run asoundconf list before, don't know what that is
[09:44] <Computech> web1109, when i click i username only a button named "session" pops up
[09:44] <web1109> Computech: what version of ubuntu is it? I was referring to karmic
[09:44] <Computech> 9.10
[09:45] <ershad> ouyes, adding..
[09:45] <jami> r4ban: aplay output looks good
[09:45] <ouyes> ershad, i do not quit understand you purpose
[09:45] <ouyes> ershad,  i do not quite understand your purpose
[09:45] <ershad> ouyes, i didn't catch that :(
[09:46] <web1109> Computech: I have two computers using fresh install of 9.10 i386 vanilla ubuntu and keyboard button appears after clicking username.. so i don't know sorry
[09:46] <ouyes> ershad,  you have an unbuntu system installed already, but you want to install some software and use the package in the DVDs??
[09:46] <Computech> web1109, yea i know, normally it does, but it's using a custom loginscreen.
[09:46] <ershad> ouyes, exactly :)
[09:47] <jami> r4ban: it could also be a alsa pulseaudio fuckup. I'm not very firm in pulseaudio stuff
[09:47] <ardchoille> !language | jami
[09:47] <ouyes> ershad,  so  what is in the 6 dvd ?
[09:47] <triple_xxx> ershad: are these security updates???? for your system
[09:47] <jami> sry
[09:47] <r4ban> jami: no prob, thanks for your time
[09:47] <ershad> ouyes, Ubuntu 9.10 repo
[09:48] <ershad> triple_xxx, nope, its software - afaik
[09:48] <ouyes> ershad, 6 dvd so much!?
[09:48] <Diverdude> Hmm, i am copying files to my external HD via USB2. Theoretical speedlimit is 420Mbit = ~50MB per second. My ubuntu only transfers 17MB persec. Does ubuntu have some sort of problem with high speed transfers?
[09:48] <ershad> ouyes, yep, ordered from zyxware.com
[09:48] <triple_xxx> ershad are you just testing these disks or do you use the internet....
[09:49] <ouyes> ershad,  ok let's work it out
[09:49] <Ara92> usb xfer is always going to be less than ideal
[09:49] <ershad> triple_xxx, we have limited internet and would like install software from those DVDs
[09:49] <web1109> Computech: what kind of custom login screen? have you tried "alt-k" after clicking usernaem?
[09:49] <ershad> ouyes, yes!
[09:49] <Diverdude> Ara92, yes, but not like only 17MB when speed limit is 50
[09:49] <Computech> I can try that.
[09:49] <Diverdude> Ara92, thats insanely slow
[09:49] <DaZ> Diverdude: did you achieve 50mbps on any other system? :f
[09:50] <jami> Diverdude: Some external 2,5" hdd need an external power supply to reach full speed
[09:50] <jami> Diverdude: or a splitted usb cable
[09:50] <Diverdude> jami, it has external powersupply
[09:50] <ouyes> ershad, insert one of them try to see what directories are in there
[09:50] <jami> Diverdude: then something is going wrong
[09:50] <Computech> web1109, alt+k isn't working either.
[09:50] <Diverdude> DaZ, i certainly reached higher than 16.5 MB
[09:51] <ershad> "ershad@bemhss-desktop:/media/cdrom0$ ls
[09:51] <ershad> dists  md5sum.txt  pool  README.txt  ubuntu
[09:51] <ershad> "
[09:51] <DaZ> ok.

[09:52] <web1109> Hunt2: thought you had to register for this (#ubuntu) channel aswell
[09:52] <Diverdude> jami,  or is the conclusion that linux cannot handle USB properly?
[09:52] <jami> Diverdude: try to reload the ehci_hcd mod
[09:53] <Diverdude> jami, no idea how i do that
[09:53] <ouyes> ershad,  do you know what data is in each dvd?
[09:53] <jami> Diverdude: rmmod ehci_hcd && modprobe ehci_hcd
[09:53] <Computech> web1109, thanx for help, i'm gona try some other things later.
[09:54] <Diverdude> jami, are all attached devices then affected?
[09:54] <ershad> ouyes, packages, deb-packages , i suppose..
[09:54] <jami> Diverdude: yes
[09:54] <ershad> ouyes, I could see many directories in  /media/cdrom0/pool/universe
[09:55] <Hunt2> in #freenode, also i get that error msg and not able to conversate..
[09:55] <jami> Diverdude: let the devices attached
[09:55] <Diverdude> jami, furthermore, speed seems to be negatively correlated with time
[09:55] <ouyes> ershad, give me the url of http://www.zyxware.com/ description
[09:55] <ouyes> ershad,  take it easy

[10:04] <ershad> ouyes: ok,
[10:04] <meowbuntu> berserk_ren, so wont that tutoral work for ubuntu 9.10
[10:04] <jami> meowbuntu: i don't get it "One bottleneck of Linux the use of swap file on the hard disk instead of RAM"

[10:05] <zvacet> jujixz:  did you try to replace gnome with xfce

[10:05] <Hunt3>  why do i get this msg? #freenode Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel,   in #freenode, also i get that error msg and not able to conversate..
[10:05] <Saturn2888> I am running a RAID setup. I had help from #grub to get grub working. It finally booted into the right kernel: 2.6.24-26 for Ubuntu Server 8.04.3. After it got in, it's at an initramfs prompt. Does anyone know what to do from here?
[10:05] <berserk_ren> ouyes, gnome works fine too with compiz... i just turned off a lot's of services like cron... shedulers, laptop power managment... and other useless stuff =}
[10:06] <Myrtti> Hunt3: because that channel is set mode +R that prevents unregistered people from speaking.
[10:06] <jujixz> is it possible to run compiz on xfce? i tried xfce once before, and i couldnt compiz, and the flash on firefox was slow like in gnome zvacet.
[10:06] <zvacet> Hunt3: do you see tab named nickserv if you do type /msg username password and hit enter
[10:06] <djhash> rd:thanks but how do I do this to all installed packages?
[10:07] <Hunt3> zvacet: where do i need to type /msg?
[10:07] <Jordan_U> Saturn2888: Does /dev/md1 exist in the initramfs shell? ( you should mention that you are using raid )
[10:07] <rd> djhash: idont know really but if u know command line i am sure u can do it :)
[10:07] <ouyes> ershad, you can not tell whether the software packages you intend to install are in one DVD
[10:07] <Saturn2888> Jordan_U: lol! Hello again. That was funny. /dev/md1, how do i get to it?
[10:08] <Myrtti> Hunt3: /msg nickserv help
[10:08] <Myrtti> Hunt3: in this window

[10:08] <ouyes> ershad, you can not tell whether the software packages you intend to install are in which DVD
[10:08] <Jordan_U> Saturn2888: ls /dev/md1
[10:08] <zvacet> jujixz:  I never try but I think compiz has nithing with your desktop so it should work on xfce
[10:08] <djhash> rd: yeah.. I'm not proficient.. but i think I can use dpkg to give me a list of installed packages.. then feed them to the dpkg-query command.. thanks
[10:08] <Hunt3>  /msg nickserv help
[10:08] <ouyes> ershad, as usual, most software packages will be in disk directory of the dvd

[10:18] <tdn_> How do I get my HP Color LaserJet 3600 to work?  Everything was awesome. I then started a new user account because my old one had a lot of cruft in it. Compiz performance is now pretty poor when doing something like moving wobbly windows. If I disable VSync (in compiz) it goes too fast and you don't see any of the effects. I'm wondering what I could have done to upset things so much considering the only differences are inside ~

[10:28] <geofft> There are.. how many floodbots?
[10:28] <Tanthrix> There...are...four..floodbots!
[10:29] <jami> Saturn2888: u can set the uuid
[10:29] <geofft> Anyway, I'm getting an obscure failure on netinstalling ubuntu-netbook-remix + ubuntu-desktop
[10:29] <DJones> Saturn2888: I think it only changes if the partition changes size or some other detail, if it stays the same, as far as I'm aware, the uuid will stay the same
[10:29] <Saturn2888> DJones: good good.
[10:29] <texens> which soundcard have u got? jujixz

[10:39] <Hunt3> Salmon: Hunt3 is now registered to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with the password password.
[10:39] <Salmon> ....
[10:40] <ershad> jami: could you help ?
[10:40] <Salmon> your sort of not meant to tell people that
[10:40] <jami> ershad: and ... the apt list contains the cd or dvd as repository afaik
[10:40] <ershad> jami: yes
[10:41] <jami> ershad: so u can install stuff from it
[10:41] <ershad> jami: on updating, apt-get tries to go online
[10:41] <johntramp> how would i add an application not installed via apt into the netbook-launcher in ubuntu-netbook-remix?
[10:41] <ershad> jami: and updates from net
[10:41] <jami> ershad: you don't want that?
[10:42] <tdn> I have tried installing an HP Color LaserJet 3600 printer, but when I try to print, nothing happens.
[10:42] <kinja-sheep> johntramp: Create a launcher, I would guess.
[10:42] <jami> ershad: then update the apt list and deactivate all remote repos
[10:42] <Hunt3> Salmon: i still get the error
[10:42] <ershad> jami: i would like to install s/w from DVD using 'apt-get install'
[10:42] <Hunt3> #freenode Please register with services and use the IDENTIFY command (/msg nickserv help) to speak in this channel
[10:42] <johntramp> kinja-sheep: how would i do that?
[10:42] <Salmon> Hunt3, are you identified?
[10:42] <ershad> jam:yes, i have unticked all http-repos
[10:42] <Hunt3> no..how do i use IDENTIFY?
[10:43] <niko> Hunt3: see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[10:43] <Salmon> /msg NickServ identify yourpassword
[10:43] <ershad> still it goes online and fetch files for each installation
[10:43] <kinja-sheep> johntramp: I don't use UNR so it may be different than regular Gnome desktop. Look for Menu Editor in Preferences/System (if it is there).
[10:43] <jami> ershad: and aptitude update
[10:43] <johntramp> ok, thanks kinja-sheep
[10:43] <pat|nG> if i'll download the ubuntu livecd which one can i get from the package? kde or gnome?
[10:43] <Salmon> /msg NickServ identify Salmon lolnub67
[10:43] <ershad> jami: yep, it too goes online while updating
[10:43] <Riverthief> xD
[10:43] <Salmon> lol
[10:44] <Riverthief> Glined from Malvager lol
[10:44] <johntramp> kinja-sheep: ah, got it.  im too used to doing everything from commandline... i should have been able to find that.   thanks
[10:44] <kinja-sheep> I bet you he use lolnub67 for every websites he use.
[10:44] <bsulzer> hi ev'ryone i'd like to get my middle click to work. how do i do that?
[10:44] <jami> ershad: maybe a apt-get clean before
[10:44] <geofft> whyyyy do I ever try joining this channel.
[10:44] <ershad> jami: ok, i will try that
[10:44] <infid> how come when i type 'ln -s foo.pl dir/foo.pl' and ls -l dir/foo.pl it shows a loop link like: foo.pl->foo.pl
[10:44] <creamycentre> bsulzer: it should be assignable to an event as button 3
[10:45] <pat|nG> if i'll download the ubuntu livecd which one can i get from the package? kde or gnome?
[10:45] <geofft> because ln -s takes the exact text of the first argument as the link, it doesn't do clever things with relative positioning
[10:45] <geofft> you probably want to say ln -s ../foo.pl dir/foo.pl
[10:45] <infid> pat|nG: ubuntu is gnome, kubuntu is kde
[10:45] <geofft> the path is relative from the position you're creating the link, not the current directory of the ln command
[10:45] <bsulzer> creamycentre, sry i don't get you. where do i catch this event?
[10:45] <Hunt3> Salmon: niko: Please check your email for instructions to complete your registration. which email do i need to check?
[10:45] <infid> geofft: ah that makes sense. thanks
[10:45] <pat|nG> infid: but can i change it to kde?  is it possible?
[10:46] <ershad> jami: http://pastebin.com/d71130636
[10:46] <infid> pat|nG:  yeah
[10:46] <infid> pat|nG: just install kde and you can switch to using it
[10:46] <geofft> infid: basically a symlink is just stored on disk as a normal file with the link contents as the file
[10:46] <pat|nG> infid: thanx
[10:46] <geofft> infid: it just happens to have the 'link' bit set
[10:46] <infid> i see
[10:47] <ershad> jami: any idea ?
[10:47] <gibblet> hey how do i install a package from unstable ... im searching with apt .. and after i have added the unstable repository ... i see this ... apt-cache madison netatalk
[10:47] <gibblet>   netatalk |    2.0.5-2 | ftp://ftp.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
[10:47] <gibblet>   netatalk | 2.0.3-11+lenny1 | http://ftp.us.debian.org lenny/main Packages
[10:48] <gibblet> how do i refer to the 2.0.5 version when doing apt-get install
[10:48] <kinja-sheep> gibblet: #debian
[10:48] <gibblet> dude they are invite only !
[10:48] <Salmon> Hunt3, you were supposed to replace<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with your email
[10:48] <meganerd> gibblet: google for apt pinning
[10:48] <gibblet> and kinja dont be a tool your whole life
[10:48] <gibblet> well yeah i added some shizz about pinning
[10:48] <jami> ershad: but where did the program get the remote infos.  Do you really edit the complete /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:49] <gibblet> but i think you might be onto something
[10:49] <wild_oscar> how can one change the network-manager configuration from the shell?
[10:49] <rethus> how was the command to look if my system use swap?
[10:50] <ershad> jami: I think that explains it :) Lemme remove *all* http links
[10:50] <wild_oscar> rethus: free -m
[10:50] <hubbix> wich distro is the best for newbees.. now running koala?
[10:51] <rethus> wild_oscar: so i have this: Swap:         2541         15       2526
[10:51] <rethus> this means, if my system use sap i have to few ram?
[10:51] <Myrtti> hubbix: this is #ubuntu and you'll be most likely recommended Ubuntu.
[10:51]  * DaZ recommends windows
[10:51] <wild_oscar> rethus: "total, used, free"
[10:51] <Riverthief> Hubbix: Karmic(Ubuntu 9.10), or Mint 8
[10:51] <DJones> hubbix: There's no real answer to that, it depends what you find the most convinient and intuitive for yourself
[10:51] <wild_oscar> it means it will use up to 2541 of swap, yes
[10:51] <Riverthief> are the most user firendly imho
[10:52] <DaZ> rethus: 2,5 gigabyte of swap is a bit of overkill
[10:52] <rethus> wild_oscar: is it better if a system have so much ram that he never swap?
[10:52] <geofft> hubbix: honestly my answer to that is the distro the most people you know use.
[10:52] <wild_oscar> rethus: check the info on swappiness
[10:52] <hubbix> do mint come with preintalled pluggins
[10:52] <rethus> DaZ. someone told me nearly 1% of diskspace
[10:52] <Myrtti> hubbix: yes, but it also may have a bit less support than ubuntu
[10:52] <wild_oscar> rethus: no. on a desktop linux swap usage will affect performance
[10:53] <Riverthief> hubbix: Mint will be fine for out-of-the-box use. Their IRC is very helpful aswell
[10:53] <Riverthief> as is the forums
[10:53] <wild_oscar> rethus: if you have lots of ram (4GB), 2GB of swap is too much
[10:53] <rethus> wild_oscar: i hav 1GB
[10:53] <zig_> I heard there's motherboard-level ECC-type functionality in modern hardware
[10:53] <hubbix> all i coult say about ubuntu is it looks the best but i getting some problems with sound when i play dvd
[10:54] <zig_> Can anyone verify this?
[10:54] <Riverthief> rethus, I have 3gb RAM, and only 800something mb of swap, and I never reach the limit.
[10:54] <wild_oscar> rethus: when the system will use swap is also controlled by swappiness, check that
[10:54] <Salmon> hubbix, try vlc
[10:54] <Riverthief> rethus, I recommend around 1.5gb of swap
[10:54] <wild_oscar> 1gb...seems "not a lot", but it all boils down to how you use the system
[10:54] <Salmon> its your best bet for playing dvd's
[10:54] <chinmoy> why so muchof swap when you have got RAM!
[10:55] <chinmoy> hmm, playing the DVD thing sounds good.
[10:55] <chinmoy> but still,
[10:55] <arand> chinmoy: hibernation...
[10:55] <Riverthief> chinmoy, because the swap will at least take some of the pressure off the small amount of ram, and performance won't decrease that much imho
[10:55] <chinmoy> elsewhere, do you really need so much of swap?
[10:55] <ershad> jami: please see this : http://pastebin.com/m7e33223f
[10:56] <rethus> wild_oscar: what is swapiness? I don't have such a command on shell
[10:56] <hubbix> yea i shall do linux is great btw.. i installed xbmc on top of ubuntu no soundproblems whatsoever
[10:56] <Riverthief> chinmoy, yes, if you wanna use hibernation
[10:56] <chinmoy> hmm, but dont gigs come loaded with good amounts of ram nowadays?
[10:56] <wild_oscar> rethus: google
[10:56] <Riverthief> chinmoy, WOW...JUST WOW...
[10:56] <Riverthief> oops caps
[10:56] <ershad> jami: Thanks a lot, its working :)
[10:56] <chinmoy> ya, hibernation is another.
[10:56] <wild_oscar> rethus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[10:57] <hubbix> great for streeming from my machintosh/readynas perfect
[10:57] <chinmoy> !!!:)
[10:57] <jami> ershad: otherwise use apt-cdrom
[10:57] <ershad> jami: yeah :)
[10:57] <hubbix> apt
[10:57] <chinmoy> hmm, @Riverthief, I do not use hibernation.
[10:57] <chinmoy> :)
[10:57] <chinmoy> It spoils the hdd.
[10:58] <chinmoy> continuous slow write cycles..
[10:58] <hubbix> i wonder if i should trow out windows drive and install ubu on harddisk is it better than usb stick
[10:59] <chinmoy> sure!
[10:59] <chinmoy> why not use it full time? I do..
[10:59] <Riverthief> anyway, chinmoy, right now I am watching a movie, have firefox open with 13 tabs, and have a VM going(with 256mb dedi ram). I am using 600mb of my RAM and nothing of swap. It's still good to have some swap, especially with only 1gb of RAM.
[10:59] <jami> hubbix: do it
[10:59] <neurre> hi
[10:59] <neurre> how do i add non free to my sources?
[11:00] <chinmoy> hmm, definitely, agreed on that, Riverthief.
[11:00] <Riverthief> you mean the restricted packages?
[11:00] <jami> neurre: add them to the source.list
[11:00] <neurre> yeah
[11:00] <Riverthief> sec
[11:00] <hubbix> jami: i got one realy old 13gb an 1 no so old 80gb what to do
[11:00] <neurre> well i have deb http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted
[11:00] <Salmon> hubbix, it will most likely increase your performance however you might want to consider dualbooting if there are any must have applications that do not run under ubuntu
[11:00] <kinja-sheep> neurre: Take a look in Software Sources (under System --> Admin).
[11:00] <Myrtti> neurre: ubuntu doesn't have "non-free" in the same sense as debian does. Some of that stuff may be on medibuntu
[11:00] <Myrtti> neurre: what are you actually trying to achieve?
[11:00] <chinmoy> this is interesting. wait lemme register.
[11:01] <neurre> Myrtti, http://source.android.com/download
[11:01] <Riverthief> neurre, sudo aptitude -y install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[11:01] <Riverthief> should do
[11:01] <jami> hubbix: put ubuntu on the 13gb and your home to the 80gb
[11:01] <neurre> E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jdk
[11:01] <chinmoy> :)
[11:01] <neurre> that fails
[11:01] <Riverthief> ok
[11:01] <Riverthief> sudo aptitude update
[11:01] <Riverthief> first
[11:01] <jami> jami: neurre: add them to the source.list
[11:01] <hubbix> jami: tnx il do it
[11:02] <neurre> jami, add what to source.list?
[11:02] <neurre> i dont know the source of sun-java5-jdk for ubuntu
[11:02] <neurre> that is my issue
[11:02] <Myrtti> !java | neurre
[11:02] <hubbix> jami: one thing how to chose home
[11:02] <maxman> Hello. I'm really in trouble. I have just upgraded to karmic and GDM looks all different. How do I change my x session (i.e. use another window manager)? On olu Ubuntu there was a button in GDM to change the session. I googled already and all I found was instructions on how to change the background image via tty. Please help
[11:03] <neurre> so how do i add multiverse to sources?
[11:03] <Myrtti> neurre: tick the box in software sources
[11:03] <neurre> Myrtti, i dont have x installed :)
[11:03] <neurre> im working on shell :)
[11:03] <chinmoy> edit sources.lst
[11:03] <Myrtti> neurre: roight. add multiverse to main restricted
[11:04] <Myrtti> neurre: might want universe too
[11:04] <hubbix> jami: one thing how to chose home
[11:04] <kinja-sheep> maxman: The Sessions option are located below in the new GDM. Did you see it or it was not there?
[11:05] <jami> hubbix: install ubuntu, put the 80gb hd to fstab so it automounts then change your user home directory
[11:06] <ugliefrog> Dr_Willis: U still here?....if so where di find the hulu player
[11:06] <neurre> hmm

[11:07] <jami> neurre: check your source.list
[11:08] <neurre> well, i cant even ping anything outside my lan
[11:08] <neurre> i get network unreachable
[11:08] <neurre> its not sources.list
[11:08] <hubbix> jami: you mean install 13gb ubuntu first ten apply 80 and mount it
[11:08] <jami> neurre: a ok
[11:08] <neurre>  /etc/init.d/networking restart gives me ok but i cant ping
[11:08] <meganerd> neurre: what does "ip route" show?
[11:09] <ja660k> is there a way i can hardcode a password for auth in curl or wget??
[11:09] <neurre> <IP_ADDRESS>/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:09] <neurre> that single line
[11:09] <jami> hubbix: from the top. You want to install ubuntu
[11:09] <neurre> i get from ip route
[11:09] <meganerd> you have no default route set
[11:09] <meganerd> set a gateway
[11:09] <neurre> ah
[11:09] <neurre> i forgot that :D
[11:09] <jami> hubbix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[11:10] <neurre> ty, now i got aptitude update working :)
[11:10] <meua> !flash
[11:10] <maxman> kinja-sheep: I clicked everywhere and I was unable to find it. Also it's impossible to change GDM back to the old look as the Login Screen Settings window looks very minimal now
[11:10] <Hunt3> Salmon: i am getting confused. where do i need to give my email address?
[11:10] <hubbix> jami: il try tnx for all help brb on soon i gonna try to use windows to bios dualboot :98

[11:11] <ja660k> jami: does wget support basic authentication?
[11:12] <Salmon> Hunt3, when you registered with "/msg NICKSERV REGISTER password<EMAIL_ADDRESS>you were supposed to replace<EMAIL_ADDRESS>with your email
[11:12] <jami> ja660k: basic and digest afaik
[11:12] <Salmon> and password with the password you wanted
[11:12] <Myrtti> Hunt3: and the password with a password of your choice

[11:14] <hubbix> bye :)
[11:15] <sefram> how can i enable hardware driver support in karmic
[11:15] <sefram> ?
[11:15] <Promethes> hi, how to change default path for css files? i tried to add to bootstrab.php line : define('CSS_URL', 'lib/css/');  but it gives me Notice (8): Constant CSS_URL already defined [APP/config/bootstrap.php, line 43]. Anyone knows how to accomplish this??
[11:15] <kinja-sheep> sefram: System --> Admin --> Hardware Drivers.
[11:15] <sefram> kinja-sheep: it wont show any video cards !!
[11:16] <erUSUL> sefram: explain; System>Admin..>hardware drivers is not there?
[11:16] <Salmon> erUSUL, what version of ubuntu?
[11:16] <erUSUL> sefram: which graphic card ?
[11:16] <sefram> its there but empty after i removed fglrx
[11:16] <kinja-sheep> sefram: There might be no support for your card. What card?
[11:16] <Salmon> woops
[11:16] <jami> Promethes: sounds like a apache vhost config / php problem
[11:16] <sefram> kinja-sheep: its an ATI Radeon HD 4200 onboard
[11:17] <meganerd> sefram: use the radeonhd driver
[11:17] <Promethes> jami: yes, i choosed wrong tab in my xchat, sorry for confusion
[11:17] <sefram> kinja-sheep: its supported by fglrx according to AMD
[11:17] <zetheroo> anyone here using xvidcap ?
[11:17] <sefram> meganerd: but i need hardware accelleratio
[11:17] <meganerd> yes, it is supported by fglrx but the radeonhd driver is better and supports all of the new "HD" chips
[11:18] <jami> zetheroo: which context
[11:18] <meganerd> it *is* a 3d driver
[11:18] <zetheroo> jami: what do you mean? ...
[11:18] <sefram> dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg keeps crashing , no output whatsoever
[11:19] <jpds> sefram: I don't think it's suppose to show output?
[11:19] <zetheroo> jami: I cannot get it to record sound
[11:19] <Salmon> zetheroo, i use gtk-recordmydesktop , but is there any problem?
[11:19] <RobLikesBrunch> Dear #Ubuntu: What, in your opinion, is the absolute BEST guide to learn about Linux? I already know most of the basic commands, but I want to learn more about how Linux works and how to manipulate it.
[11:19] <RobLikesBrunch> Oh, and preferrably online...and free.
[11:19] <Salmon> zetheroo, does your mic seem to work in the sound preferences?
[11:20] <AS-MKing> Should I install the 32bit or 64bit version of Ubuntu on my 54bit desktop?
[11:20] <reema> i installed an ethernet driver after that my network icon is missing from the panel............how to bring it back? i'm not able to connect to the wireless network
[11:20] <Riverthief> RobLikesBrunch, learn bash to start with
[11:20] <zetheroo> Salmon: oh my Mic works perfectly
[11:20] <sefram> jpds: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/474455
[11:20] <jami> zetheroo: sry i mixed up the program name 8) I use istanbul for that task
[11:20] <zetheroo> Salmon: I have been trying to get a screencast application to work in Ubuntu for the last 3 days
[11:20] <RobLikesBrunch> Riverthief: Can you recommend a guide :D?
[11:20] <popey> zetheroo: tried gtk-recordmydesktop?
[11:20] <sefram> how can i reset hardware driver detection?
[11:20] <Salmon> zetheroo, does it work in in other applications?
[11:20] <Riverthief> RobLikesBrunch, http://ss64.com/bash/
[11:20] <popey> zetheroo: thats what I use for screencasts.ubuntu.com
[11:21] <jpds> sefram: Yeah, try without the -phigh for configuration screens.
[11:21] <popey> zetheroo: i used to use xvidcap but it's a bit broken
[11:21] <RobLikesBrunch> Riverthief: Great, thanks!
[11:21] <zetheroo> popey: yeah ... video and audio are out of sync
[11:21] <sefram> jpds: its all the same
[11:21] <Riverthief> RobLikesBrunch, No problem :P
[11:21] <popey> zetheroo: i use recordmydesktop from the command line and it's not out of sync
[11:21] <zetheroo> Salmon: mic work with everything else
[11:21] <jami> RobLikesBrunch: discover your system. Read man pages. Start scripting bash/perl
[11:21] <zetheroo> popey: say on ...
[11:22] <popey> zetheroo: http://popey.com/blog/2009/08/25/getting-back-into-screencasting/  :)
[11:22] <Riverthief> RobLikesBrunch, also, get to know the linux file structure
[11:22] <sefram> do I really need to reinstall because my Hardware Driver utility is unable to detect my board?
[11:22] <RobLikesBrunch> jami: Is Perl the dominant language in Linux? What about Python & Ruby?
[11:23] <Salmon> zetheroo, you might want to try gtk-recordmydesktop like others have suggested
[11:23] <zetheroo> popey: was the audio and video out of sync when you were recording through the GUI?
[11:23] <zetheroo> Salmon; as I said I already have been trying it
[11:23] <Riverthief> RobLikesBrunch, Perl would be the way to go imho. To know regular expressions is a powerful thing
[11:23] <popey> zetheroo: yes
[11:23] <zetheroo> Salmon: video and audio are out of sync ... so useless ... unless popey has the key ...
[11:23] <Riverthief> Plus, Pychon is quite easy, you can learn it in a few weeks
[11:23] <Riverthief> *Python
[11:24] <zetheroo> popey: ok I'll give it a shot ...
[11:24] <RobLikesBrunch> Riverthief: Wait...Perl or Python?
[11:24] <Riverthief> RobLikesBrunch, Perl imho
[11:24] <zetheroo> popey: but you are also not using an internal mic
[11:24] <RobLikesBrunch> Riverthief: But "python is quite easy"? I'm confused :P
[11:24] <popey> zetheroo: doesnt matter
[11:25] <sefram> I installed fglrx with the hardware dirver tool but ended up with no login srceen and currupted cursor, then i compiled the most recent version, installed it but that didnt change anything. After disabling Desktop Effects it wont even give me any X screen so i purged all fglrx and now they cant be reinstalled throught the hardware driver tool... I really LOVE AMD !!
[11:25] <Salmon> zetheroo, as a work around you could manually sinc the audio in whatever video editor you use
[11:25] <Riverthief> RobLikesBrunch, yes, Python can be learned in a few weeks, but the earlier nyou start with Perl the better. Plus Perl has so many more uses
[11:25] <popey> Salmon: its not as easy as that
[11:25] <Riverthief> *you
[11:25] <chinmoy> ya.
[11:25] <popey> Salmon: the audio drifts
[11:25] <zetheroo> Salmon: yeah ... not happy to go down that route
[11:25] <RobLikesBrunch> Riverthief: Ah, okay. Thanks.
[11:25] <krishn1> Hi need help in fixing the NFS issue  ,Home directory is not mounting on my machine
[11:26] <perlmonkey> hi guys, having a problem with twinview..hoping someone can help.. basically I have two monitors in Ubuntu Hardy on one graphics card (DVI and VGA) both are working fine when I use the Nvidia X Server Settings utility program to configure the two monitors as Twinview...they act as one monitor, and my desktop background appears on both screens, like panoramic view/stretched... however when I save the settings to xorg.conf
[11:26] <zetheroo> popey: do you know what to do with the OGV file? ... I mean its kind of big no?
[11:26] <chinmoy> real easy.
[11:26] <chinmoy> to begin at least.
[11:26] <chinmoy> plus productive too.
[11:26] <krishn1> I have tried  /etc/init.d/vendetta stop
[11:26] <krishn1> /etc/init.d/vendetta start
[11:26] <krishn1> sudo nsscache update
[11:26] <krishn1> Sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-common restart
[11:26] <FloodBot1> krishn1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:26] <Andri> uyeeeee
[11:26] <arand> sefram: you can always reinstall from synaptic, search for "fglrx"
[11:26] <popey> zetheroo: i upload the ogv to blip.tv and they convert to other formats for me
[11:27] <zetheroo> popey: is blip.tv free? ...
[11:27] <popey> yes
[11:27] <rethus> how did i install a .deb-package?
[11:27] <sefram> arand: i know but when i do that i suspect it wont enable desktop effects, wich i need to even get any X screen with fglrx...
[11:27] <popey> zetheroo: http://ubuntuscreencasts.blip.tv/
[11:27] <znh> Hello :-)
[11:27] <znh> Could anyone guide me to throttle the network throughput? Globally
[11:27] <meganerd> guys, the HD series is supported by radeonhd, just use it
[11:28] <sefram> arand: fglrx only works with desktop effects and the hardware dirver tool seems to enable them with the driver install...
[11:28] <popey> znh: wondershaper can do that
[11:28] <meganerd> znh: lartc.org
[11:28] <zetheroo> popey: cool ... umm ... with your command how do I implement the feature of following the mouse ?
[11:28] <popey> znh: to throttle individual apps you can use 'trickle'
[11:28] <popey> zetheroo: not sure, type recordmydesktop --help, and you should find the option there
[11:29] <zetheroo> popey: oh and I want to use my internal mic ... know what I should change? hw:0,0 ?
[11:29] <popey> zetheroo: the blog posts tells you what to type to discover the device name
[11:29] <ja660k> how can i make grep search on 2 keywords?
[11:29] <popey> ja660k: grep term1 filename | grep term2  ?
[11:29] <krishn1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/358447/
[11:30] <llutz> ja660k: grep -e 'term1|term2' foo      OR-search
[11:30] <erUSUL> ja660k: grep -E '(term1|term2)'
[11:30] <Lungan_> I have an pretty anoying problem, when i disconnect my ac adapter, and start watching a movie for example, and after about 5-10 sec the brightness auto goes down a little bit
[11:30] <ja660k> popey: its not from file, its wget http://example | grep keyword
[11:31] <kaolbrec> rethus: Just click it in file view, or dpkg -i /path/to/package
[11:31] <ja660k> llutz:thanks
[11:31] <arand> sefram: hmm, Desktop effects can only be enabled when you have a 3D accelerating driver installed, desktop effects are dependent on fglrx, not the other way around..
[11:31] <ja660k> erUSUL: thanks
[11:31] <Bizzeh> hi. is there anything in the repositories that runs commandline and makes jpg/png screenshots of websites?
[11:31] <krishn1> Hi ,can any one help me on this  issue http://paste.ubuntu.com/358447/
[11:31] <MikeZ83> hi, everyone
[11:32] <Jonathan_L> Hello. I've got this config: 3G modem -> laptop -> wifi -> laptop. I want to use wifi to share the internet connection on the first laptop with the second.
[11:32] <sefram> arand: but i cant enable them without a working x server with fglrx... and fglrx does not work without desktop effects...
[11:32] <erUSUL> !ics | Jonathan_L
[11:33] <Lungan_> I have an pretty anoying problem, when i disconnect my ac adapter, and start watching a movie for example, and after about 5-10 sec the brightness auto goes down a little bit, how do I turn that option off?
[11:33] <Jonathan_L> erSUL: Will that work for 3G connection sharing over WLAN too?
[11:33] <Jonathan_L> Lungan_: That's probably energy saving options
[11:33] <arand> sefram: fglrx can be installed from a recovery terminal, without having any X or graphical environment started.
[11:34] <Lungan_> Jonathan_L, Yeah but I don't know how to turn that off
[11:34] <rethus> kaolbrec: thaks
[11:34] <kinja-sheep> Lungan_: Change the setting in Power Option.
[11:34] <iflema> perlmonkey gksu nvidia-settings
[11:34] <erUSUL> Jonathan_L: it should. you have to change the interface names. probably the 3G connection is ppp0 and the wifi interfaces are wlan0
[11:34] <srini> how to edit the grub menu... menu.ls is not in /boot in 9.10???
[11:34] <erUSUL> !grub2 | srini
[11:34] <arand> srini: not with grub2 no
[11:34] <Lungan_> kinja-sheep, Jonathan_L thank you, that did help
[11:35] <perlmonkey> iflema: ya, that's what I'm using to configure it... as i said it works fine when I do it manually, but for some reason once the settings are saved and X is restarted the monitors are treated as separate screens
[11:35] <sefram> arand: installing fglrx is not the problem, the problem is that it ONLY works with desktop effects ENABLED. But to enable them i need it working without desktop effects and that seems to simply is impossible since i only get a blank frozen X srceen...
[11:36] <srini> Any difference between grub and grub2???
[11:36] <Riverthief|afk> Yes
[11:36] <Riverthief|afk> Grub2 < Grub
[11:36] <iflema> perlmonkey in a terminal type gksu nvidia-settings
[11:37] <Jonathan_L> those guides for ICS are extremely unhelpful for this situation.
[11:37] <perlmonkey> iflema it only seems to bring up the nvidia-settings utility? or does it do anything different?
[11:37] <Salmon> Jonathan_L, what is the problem?
[11:37] <erUSUL> Jonathan_L: try with firestarter then.
[11:37] <iflema> perlmonkey reset ya settings...now they stick
[11:37] <Riverthief|afk> Grub2 has, imho, worse boot times, no grub.cfg, less support for other"windows" OS's, and you should just install EFI :P
[11:37] <perlmonkey> ok
[11:38] <srini> Riverthief|afk:  Grub2 < grub means???
[11:38] <Jonathan_L> 3G modem connection sharing over WLAN. Guess?
[11:38] <ae86-drifter> !efi
[11:38] <Riverthief|afk> < means less than
[11:38] <Riverthief|afk> as in, worse than in this case
[11:38] <Salmon> try creating an adhoc network
[11:38] <Jonathan_L> srini: That the person thinks that grub2 are worse
[11:38] <Jonathan_L> Salmon:  I've tried, and followed several guides
[11:38] <ae86-drifter> Jonathan_L, omg slowness of lag snails
[11:38]  * perlmonkey tests
[11:38] <MikeZ83> any idea when the nvidia support for the newer cards will become more reliable? there's a strange phenomenon with the geforce 250m in notebooks where switching from GUI to console mode gets you stuck with a flickering image (like bad analog tv reception). observed with drivers 185 thru 195
[11:38] <kinja-sheep> Jonathan_L <3 bridge-utils
[11:38] <sefram> I really have to reinstall my whole ubuntu because of that BUGGY AMD crap!
[11:39] <Jonathan_L> Right now neither computer are connected to the adhoc network (!)
[11:39]  * iflema iflema smiles
[11:39] <llutz> Jonathan_L: why? ipforwarding/masquerading works for all kind of interfaces the same way, where do you see differences between wifi and 3g?
[11:39] <meganerd> nvidia has always sucked for me
[11:39] <Salmon> Jonathan_L, how a re you creating it?
[11:39] <srini> Jonathan_L :  i want to know the difference between grub2 and grub
[11:39] <ae86-drifter> jonathon create a proxy server, bridge connections, use NAT, lotsa ways to do it
[11:39] <erUSUL> MikeZ83: nvidia has its own support forum; maybe there you get more help if you are using the run's from its website
[11:39] <arand> sefram: so at the moment when you start, what happens?
[11:39] <kinja-sheep> srini: What is difference between Firefox 2.0 and Firefox 3.0?
[11:40] <krishn1> can any one help me on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/358447/
[11:40] <Jonathan_L> srini: The grub developers said that grub-legacy ("grub") is becoming a pain to manage, so they rewrote it and created grub2
[11:40] <MikeZ83> thanks for the hint, erUSUL
[11:40] <Jonathan_L> ae86-drifter: Uuuhh.. Overkill?
[11:40] <srini> Jonathan_L: ok Thanks...
[11:40] <perlmonkey> iflema: doesn't work, still being treated as separate monitors :-/
[11:40] <MikeZ83> bye, have a nice day
[11:40] <ae86-drifter> i meant either one, not all of them lol
[11:40] <sefram> arand: with fglrx drivers installed and desktop effects disabled i get no login screen, but can hit ENTER enter my password and hit ENTER again, but then it will freeze with a white screen
[11:40] <zetheroo> popey: how do I stop the capturing?
[11:41] <kinja-sheep> Jonathan_L: Try bridge-utils
[11:41] <Jonathan_L> llutz: They guide are not very clear on how to do it with any other config than the sample config in the guide
[11:41] <Jonathan_L> kinja-sheep: How do I use it?
[11:41] <Salmon> Jonathan_L, try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html
[11:41]  * perlmonkey trying again
[11:41] <jami> krishn1: was your home a nfs mount?
[11:41] <kinja-sheep> Jonathan_L: It is not supposed to be a guide. It is a documentation manual. :-)
[11:42] <perlmonkey> nah doesn't work
[11:42] <krishn1> jami :yes
[11:42] <kinja-sheep> Jonathan_L: You install it then you create a new eth0/wlan0 profile in NetworkManager. Change it to "Shared something"
[11:42] <iflema> perlmonkey after starting in terminal.... enable second monitor select primary click on that the configure/twinview
[11:42] <krishn1> it was a NFS mount
[11:42] <sefram> arand: with fglrx drivers and desktop effects enabled it logs into X and my mouse cursor is a 64x64 pixel crap, but everything else seems to work. But i cant get there without the hardware drivers tool because it enables the ?requires? desktop effects together with installing fglrx...
[11:43] <kinja-sheep> Jonathan_L: I'm remembering this off my head but I was able to get my 360 working through laptop wireless.
[11:43] <llutz> Jonathan_L: all you have to know is the IP-range of your local network and the interface name of your external interface (connected to WAN)
[11:43] <jami> krishn1: then the nfs startup fails
[11:43] <iflema> perlmonkey youve done it before.... just do that after starting in terminal with gksu
[11:43] <abg> hi
[11:43] <perlmonkey> iflema: twinview is working, but it's acting differently to when I set it up manually... its treating both monitors as separate screens instead of one long screen
[11:43] <znh> If I want to sell a product with Ubuntu installed, is that legal?
[11:44] <jami> krishn1: get in as root and try to mount the nfs
[11:44] <perlmonkey> basically the monitors are not joined/sync'd
[11:44] <iflema> perlmonkey cloned of seperate
[11:44] <perlmonkey> :-/
[11:44] <Hunt3> Hi
[11:44] <iflema> perlmonkey cloned or seperate
[11:44] <erUSUL> znh: if you provide the right info; yes why not. also consult the trademark and artwork policy of ubuntu logos names etc
[11:44] <LjL> znh: hmm this is not the best channel to ask that... although i'm never sure where to direct for legal questions. you could try asking #ubuntu-offtopic (but take answers with a grain of salt), and also ask #ubuntu-irc if they know of the most appropriate channel
[11:45] <perlmonkey> separate, I have entirely different desktop background images on each, and when I drag an app from one screen to the next, it's not perfectly in sync, theres a resolution difference
[11:45] <zetheroo> popey: audio and video are still way out of sync for me
[11:45] <perlmonkey> when I set up nividia settings manually the two screens are perfectly in sync, one desktop background, one resolution
[11:45] <Hunt3> Salmon: what is supposed to happen when i run /msg NICKSERV REGISTER password<EMAIL_ADDRESS>? i mean with correct password and email addresses?
[11:45] <iflema> perlmonkey not seperate then if ya draging windows from one to other...
[11:45] <perlmonkey> iflema ya, as i said its working in twinview but not the same as when I do it manually
[11:46] <Salmon> Hunt3, it will register your nick
[11:46] <kinja-sheep> Hunt3: Don't make a big deal out of it. Register. Check your email. Confirm the link. You're done.
[11:46] <perlmonkey> perhaps im not making it very clear
[11:46] <Salmon> to identify you can then type /msg nickserv identify password
[11:46] <kinja-sheep> Hunt3: Then you will want to set up identify in your IRC client.
[11:47] <iflema> perlmonkey sounds to me like a twinview type of rig.... not seperate
[11:47] <perlmonkey> manual configuration = twinview mode with 1 resolution and both screens treated as one desktop space
[11:47] <Hunt3> kinja-sheep: i gave my email address, dint receive any link?
[11:47] <krishn1> jami: I have logged in as root and tried /etc/init.d/autofs restart
[11:47] <perlmonkey> saved configuration / auto = twinview mode with 2 resolutions, and both screens treated as separate desktop spaces
[11:47] <ce_caem> ce_moetz
[11:48] <krishn1> jami: is there any thing else I have to do
[11:48] <ae86-drifter> Hunt3, well u did it wrong maybe
[11:48] <perlmonkey> iflema: so why isn't my desktop background image appearing on both screens? and why aren't apps perfectly in sync for the resolution
[11:48] <ae86-drifter> !irc | Hunt3
[11:48] <jami> krishn1: why autofs
[11:49] <web1109> Hunt3: did you check junk mail box?
[11:49] <palanthas> I'm am trying to remember how to see if I am running 32 or 64 bit ubuntu... can someone help me?
[11:49] <krishn1> jami : how to restart NFS
[11:49] <jami> krishn1: nfs-common
[11:49] <kinja-sheep> palanthas: uname -m
[11:49] <krishn1> nfs-common restart  ,ok
[11:49] <arand> sefram: hmm, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=439895 describes how to switch them off from starting in recovery mode, maybe that'll give hints on how to switch it on.
[11:49] <iflema> perlmonkey im thinking A. you are unable to configure the software or B. youve been messing with other methods of twinview/mods or C. typo
[11:49] <palanthas> Thankyou kinja-sheep
[11:50] <arand> sefram: hmm, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=439895 describes how to switch them off from starting in recovery mode, maybe that'll give hints on how to switch it on.
[11:50] <jami> krishn1: if your home was mounted via fstab try mount -a
[11:50] <perlmonkey> iflema: or D; twinview manual configuration works differently to X auto-started twinview configuration
[11:50] <sefram> arand: thx il read through that
[11:50] <arand> sefram: sorry duplication.
[11:51] <perlmonkey> it's weird
[11:51] <perlmonkey> im gonna try something...brb
[11:52] <iflema> perlmonkey its pretty solid i thought.... up in twinview now. just the one issue.... no seperate desktop background images :(
[11:53] <Hunt3> web1109: ya i checked it's not here in spam mails too
[11:53] <iflema> perlmonkey apart from pasting two images together.... pez
[11:54] <kinja-sheep> Hunt3: Official Freenode Support @ #freenode
[11:55] <perlmonkey> iflema: i've just compared my desktop settings to when I use twinview in auto-started config and manual config... and there's a clear difference: on auto-started it has two monitor settings tabs (monitor 1 and monitor 2) allowing independent desktop background images, however on manual config if I click on desktop there's only 1 monitor settings area, i.e. its treating both screens as one desktop
[11:55] <Hunt3> kinja-sheep: #freenode-fr, is it the same?
[11:55] <Salmon> perlmonkey, your nvidia settings arent restored on login by default
[11:56] <kinja-sheep> Hunt3: I would think it is... In french languages.
[11:56] <perlmonkey> I'm unable to get X to auto-start with the manual approach (treating both screens as one screen) tried everything.. so I'm assuming there is not a feature but rather a quirk of using nvidia manually
[11:56] <Salmon> you ether have to add nvidia-setting -l to your startup applications or run it yourself
[11:57] <perlmonkey> Salmon: I've saved the settings, actually copied and pasted them into xorg.conf
[11:57] <zetheroo> anyone here have any luck with screencasting in Ubuntu ?
[11:57] <Salmon> your using twin view right?
[11:57] <perlmonkey> yes
[11:57] <Salmon> that isnt stored in the xorg settings
[11:57] <iflema> perlmonkey manually??? xorg.conf editing is manually. i just wanna know.... what happens when you in a terminal type gksu nviddia-settings.. ok do you see two little screens?
[11:57] <perlmonkey> ah
[11:57] <Salmon> you have to load your nvidia settings with nvidia-settings -l
[11:58] <perlmonkey> when I say "manually" i mean starting X in non-twinview mode, starting nvidia-settings utility and configuring to twinview WITHOUT saving config/restarting X
[11:58] <GG19> anyone know how to see whats on your virtual c: drive without going through wine?
[11:58] <perlmonkey> that works perfectly
[11:59] <jami> GG19: look in the config winecfg
[11:59] <perlmonkey> if I save the config, Twinview works when I restart X, but both screens are treated as SEPARATE screens
[11:59] <arand> GG19: it's all in ~/.wine/drive_c/
[11:59] <jami> GG19: ~/.wine/drive_c is standard mount for wine's c:
[12:00] <perlmonkey> Salmon thanks I will try that
[12:00] <Hunt3> web1109: when i run  /msg NICKSERV REGISTER password<EMAIL_ADDRESS>, it says my Hunt3 is already registered
[12:00] <GG19> yeah but I cant right click and delete or move to trash anything.
[12:00] <perlmonkey> Salmon where should that command go?
[12:00] <Salmon> perlmonkey, just try running it from the terminal after you have logged in
[12:00] <GG19> like wine, programs, dvdfab, "file i want to delete"
[12:01] <perlmonkey> ok good idea
[12:01] <fredrik__> Im trying to share my internet connection to my wi-fi card. I have tried to klick on the network icon in panel and then 'create new wireless connection" but my other devices can't find this connection. Is there some mimitation on a laptop wireless card/settings?
[12:01] <Salmon> if it works then add it to your startup applications under system -> preferences -> autostart
[12:01] <jami> GG19: ls -l and get sure that you are the owner of this dir
[12:01]  * perlmonkey tries
[12:02] <GG19> so if C: is simulated the real files must be on my main drive? but where?
[12:02] <noisymouse_> Is there a way to use a terminal on the ubuntu alternate cd?
[12:02] <jami> ...
[12:02] <noisymouse_> Is there a way to use a terminal on the ubuntu alternate cd?
[12:02] <Salmon> noisymouse_, try ctrl + alt + f2
[12:02] <erUSUL> GG19: you have been told already. in ~/.wine/drive_c/
[12:02] <noisymouse_> ah ty
[12:03] <Salmon> then to switch back do ctrl + alt + f1
[12:03] <jussi01> !ics | fredrik__
[12:03] <noisymouse_> sry if I doubleposted I wasn't sure if it worked the first time
[12:03] <erUSUL> GG19: do in a terminal « nautilus ~/.wine/drive_c/ »
[12:04] <madura> hey anyone know how i can make menu background transparent?. It doesn't work with alpha channel pngs
[12:04] <fredrik__> ubottu, I have worked witch firestarter before.. will try that again. Thanks for the tips
[12:04] <perlmonkey> Salmon doesn't work, gives lots of errors too
[12:05] <Salmon> oh im not sure what it is then
[12:05] <perlmonkey> "No display connection"
[12:05] <bjlen> hi i'm trying to get my US keyboard layout to let me produce a british pound sign - £ - how can I assign a key combo to produce this character? I would like to use Iso_level3_shift+3. using karmic.
[12:05] <perlmonkey> oh well thanks for trying guys, i guess I will have to keep setting config manually and just leave my PC on
[12:07]  * iflema :|
[12:07] <GG19> found it i had to go into windows and all users and programs then the folder then delete the file
[12:10] <adversarian> Well. This has gotten pretty long and complicated: After installing Ubuntu 9.10 fine, it didn't boot the next day. Nothing I've done has made it work. I even reformatted the HDD and it still doesn't work. I tried the alternative liveCD, and that doesn't work. I checked the RAM - it's fine. I reinstalled windows, and that works fine. Does anyone have any idea of what I could do to at least find out what the problem is?
[12:12] <jami> adversarian: does the bootloader show up
[12:13] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: Care to explain what happen when you said you tried alternative liveCD? I would guess it can't see the monitor for some reason.
[12:13] <GG19> wait so I deleted the file from my virtual C: drive yet it still remains in my wine , programs, and in the folder
[12:13] <adversarian> jami: Well, Ubuntu is no longer installed, but when it was it got to GRUB fine. It would freeze if I picked recovery mode or normal ubuntu, after making minor progress. Recovery mode stopped once it hit "stop skipping firewall: ufw (not enabled)". The LIveCD loads fine, but it freezes if I choose to try ubuntu or install it.
[12:13] <fredrik__> jussi01, you missunderstood. The problem isn't to share Internet. The problem is to make my devices see my laptops wireless connection... they don't
[12:13] <beeryourself> can i ask for help about curl?
[12:14] <adversarian> jami: Recovery mode from the CD stops after some crypto check, I can't remember the exact text
[12:14] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: What hardware?
[12:14] <adversarian> kinja-sheep: Well, it starts off fine (when I hit install). I get to the menu and everything works, and then once it hits the second pc hardware check it stops working - it just freezes on a blue screen with a black bar at the bottom
[12:15] <adversarian> kinja-sheep: Sorry I don't know what you're referring to
[12:15] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: What make/model?
[12:15] <strywgr> anyone knows about a good alternative for windows media player? (except cinelerra).
[12:15] <jami> strywgr: mplayer vlc
[12:16] <adversarian> kinja-sheep: Of which hardware component? The RAM, the CPU..?
[12:16] <iflema> perlmonkey pastebin ya xorg.conf
[12:16] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: I had issues with my laptop touchpad going frenzy crazy on me when I touch it. Apparently I had to include some kernel parameters. Afterward, I find that I can fix it by flashing the BIOS to latest version. It works for me then.
[12:16] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: Make/Model of your computer. I'll try and find something if I can.
[12:16] <Hunt3> Salmon: i ran this command /msg NICKSERV REGISTER password<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and in another tab i see: Hunt3 is already registered.
[12:16] <Hunt3> wil i get mail in that case?
[12:16] <Salmon> no
[12:16] <Salmon> someone already has that nick
[12:16] <strywgr> my bad, not windows media player, windows movie maker.
[12:16] <Salmon> you will need to choose a differennt one
[12:16] <bazhang> Hunt3, please ask in #freenode for this
[12:17] <Salmon> strywgr, openshot maybe
[12:17] <strywgr> aright thanx Salmon and jamo.
[12:18] <Salmon> strywgr, http://www.openshotvideo.com/2008/04/ppa-instructions.html
[12:18] <adversarian> kinja-sheep: Lemme go check, I'll be just a moment. I'm not too computer savvy.. It'll probably be written somewhere on the tower case right?
[12:18] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: Right.
[12:18] <jami> lol hunt hash the password
[12:18] <jami> -h
[12:19] <adversarian> kinja-sheep: It's a Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo L Edition
[12:19] <jami> Hunt3 you know you password
[12:19] <pat|nG> is there any ubuntu wiki sites? like need to know those tech-terms used by the documentations....any? thanx
[12:19] <marcosRz> guys what cli program I can use to see how much network usage my pc is doing?
[12:20] <DJones> !wiki | pat|nG
[12:20] <pat|nG> ubottu: thanx for the link ;)
[12:20] <DJones> pat|nG: Does ubottu's link help with what you're looking for, probably that second link will be the best
[12:21] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: Not a much of help. Your hardware are unpopular, I guess. ;\
[12:22] <pat|nG> DJones: yup u're right the 2nd link do fit for my needs thanx guys
[12:22] <DJones> pat|nG: You're welcome
[12:23] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: Do you know if you can use the machine fine on LiveCD?
[12:23] <iflema> marcosRZ cli? command line? 4#775#01bmon or iftop
[12:23] <adversarian> kinja-sheep: What gets me is that it worked fine before - it installed fine, it booted up fine after installation, and then the next day it didn't work (it had been hibernating all night - I realize now that might have something to do with it having messed up, since I didn't configure anything).
[12:23] <adversarian> kinja-sheep: It freezes from the liveCD. It gets to the menu, and it makes some booting progress from it, but it stops before it gets anywhere.
[12:24] <hubbix> i think its better with a laptop, old stationary pc dont always boot from usb
[12:24] <hubbix> try
[12:24] <hubbix> testing ubuntu on a acer aspire 8930 :)
[12:25] <pvandewyngaerde> how can i check my current keyboard layout from commandline ?
[12:26] <tdn> Please, can anyone help me install my printer?
[12:26] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: Do you know if the BIOS for your motherboard is latest?
[12:27] <adversarian> kinja-sheep: Probably not, especially after reinstalling windows last night to see if that worked.
[12:27] <marcosRz> iflema: but how do I get the max transmit rate of my if in cli? ntop doesnt do that
[12:27] <hubbix> adversarian: me also got that freeze you talking about on a pentium 2 or 3 you could check cd rom old comp very slow cdrom
[12:27] <iflema> marcosRZ i dont know ntop..... iftop or bmon yeah.
[12:28] <adversarian> hubbix: Yeah, I was thinking about trying from a floppy. After a certain point the computer just stops reading from the CD
[12:29] <hubbix> adversarian: my pentium i cant even hear cd spinning so slow it is
[12:29] <marcosRz> iflema: but how to get like the max rate with those prpograms?
[12:29] <adversarian> hubbix: Geez. The tower's pretty loud so it's easy to tell, especially if you put your ear up to it
[12:30] <iflema> marcosRZ max rate.... neither i think... that was not the question
[12:31] <iflema> marcosRZ iftop.... plain as day dow bottom ;)
[12:31] <iflema> marcosRZ oh no....
[12:31] <hubbix> adversarian: i gived up my pent2 is it posible to floppy it
[12:32] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI
[12:32] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: That could be it. It is difficult to troubleshoot your machine.
[12:33] <adversarian> kinja-sheep: Yeah, I was in here three or four times yesterday. I'm lucky everyone's been so helpful. :)
[12:33] <iflema> marcosRZ iftop.... current and peak and theres a total there as well
[12:33] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: I couldn't find BIO download for your machine. You want to be sure your BIOS are latest because that's the "heart" of the hardware.
[12:34] <kinja-sheep> adversarian: Then there are kernel, the core of any linux operating system.
[12:34] <elfish_> 好无聊阿
[12:39] <leohartx> can some one tell me how to change password of my ubuntu one account ?
[12:40] <jami> leohartx: passwd

[12:50] <robertm851> GG19 how has checking the menu entries gone ?
[12:50] <erUSUL> GG19: right click on the menu and choose edit menu. remove the entry there
[12:50] <ja660k> llutz: that didnt work, the cmd im doing is wget http://example | grep term1 term2

[12:56] <erUSUL> ja660k: grep -w -e patter1 -e pattern2 ?
[12:58] <ja660k> erUSUL: broken pipe again, is there any cmd line search i can use aside from grep, fgrep egrep?
[12:58] <jrib> ja660k: grep isn't the problem...
[12:58] <erUSUL> ja660k: why do you have so much concatenated sed's ? the two last ones do the same?
