[13:40] <c0p3rn1c> Tm_T, isnt this channel a nice ubuntu community growth meter
[13:40] <lenswipe> anyone know of a company that offers free ubuntu virtualisation so i can test something?
[13:40] <Adam> titan__; Is the HD flash player really that demanding? Computer almost freezes
[13:40] <Younder> CyL, corrupting the image, and in other ways diableling the abillity of ubuntu to boot
[13:40] <titan__> Adam, lol when you switch audio, where do you get this error? Does a window pop up or what?
[13:41] <yancho> can i login to root@ubuntubox via ssh please? keeps giving me wrong password
[13:41] <CyL> Younder: Couldn't he do that using just sudo?
[13:41] <Adam> titan__; No in dmesg
[13:41] <Adam> titan__; I'm sorry. I'm not native english speakin
[13:41] <Younder> CyL, yes, and he should
[13:41] <Tm_T> c0p3rn1c: unfortunately just number of clients in channel doesn't give much reliable data, also you might like to discuss this kind of things in #ubuntu-irc
[13:41] <grawity> yancho: by default, sshd disallows logins as root.
[13:42] <c0p3rn1c> Tm_T, right thx
[13:42] <yancho> grawity,  from where to change it please? i need to be able to shutdown remotely using ssh key
[13:42] <banister`gone> hey guys wtf is Google Chrome going to be released for linux?!
[13:42] <Younder> CyL, my point is that it give a subset of the root options that is dufficeinet, but has less potential for disaster
[13:42] <grawity> yancho: /etc/ssh/sshd_config - "PermitRootLogin without-password"
[13:42] <CyL> Younder: what I mean is why shouldn't we set a root password if we can still do all sorts of nasty thinks using sudo (that's a doubt I have)?
[13:42] <titan__> Adam, no I wouldn't think it would be that demanding, at least not for that system you got. It should be able to handle it but it could be a problem with the Linux drivers not being up to par yet as that is a very new graphics chip from NVidia. Ok can you give me a full detail writing of the exact error you get with the audio changing?
[13:42] <grawity> yancho: That will allow root to login, but only when using a SSH key.
[13:42] <grawity> yancho: Not a very smart idea though.
[13:43] <lenswipe> anyone know of a company that offers free ubuntu virtualisation so i can test something?
[13:43] <yancho> ok great grawity :) its on an internal lan and im not distributing keys
[13:43] <karname>  titan__ : I have ati x1400 with 2 gig ram also I haven't this problem with 9.04
[13:43] <Adam> titan__; hda-intel: Too big adjustment 32
[13:43] <anom1> Ubuntu appears to have port 1720 enabled. Is there another better way of disabling it, other than blocking with ufw or iptables?
[13:43] <grawity> yancho: Btw, in case you aren't aware of that, it's possible to only allow a single command for a SSH key.
[13:44] <yancho> grawity,  and is it set in the config too?
[13:44] <Younder> CyL, well I confess to have set mine, because it allows recovery mode to et me log in in text mode. And if things are that BAD i probaly need it. But normaly I use 'sudi -i'
[13:44] <karname> lenswipe : I think you must virtualbox but I use vmware server2 (is free , but not open source )
[13:44] <wildc4rd> trying to re enable wifi on an Acer laptop (running the eeebuntu, based on 9.04 if it matters), where do I start?
[13:44] <grawity> yancho: No, that would be set in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[13:44] <Younder> sudo
[13:45] <yancho> ok .. first im checking for root login
[13:45] <lenswipe> karname, well what it is, i want to test something with a software package but i dont want to do it on my actual ubuntu box because its a production box and i dont have any dev boxes around
[13:45] <titan__> karname, sorry got distracted. It sounds like an issue with the graphics driver. I have never installed graphics drivers for ATI on Linux, however you might be able to get into the x windows if you change your x.org file in your X11 folder to use a vesa video driver and not whatever it's trying to use. Then you could get into X and try to download and install the latest Linux drivers for your ATI card.
[13:45] <yancho> grawity,  what im seeing is that : allowrootlogin was on already
[13:45] <grawity> yancho: ? It's "PermitRootLogins".
[13:45] <grawity> yancho: also, Ubuntu comes with the root account locked - unless you unlock it manually.
[13:45] <yancho> grawity,  PermitRootLogin yes
[13:46] <yancho> how can i test if i unlockedi t or not please grawity  (most prob i didn't)
[13:46] <bazhang> !give me a test
[13:46] <grawity> yancho: Have you ever set a password for root?
[13:46] <Younder> grawity, it's inspired by windows...
[13:46] <bazhang> Fayntic, hi
[13:46] <yancho> grawity,  not sure i did during installation
[13:46] <grawity> Younder: What is?
[13:46] <karname> titan__: no , I didn't say about changing or install graphic (this is information from my hardware) , I have problem with fresh install of ubuntu
[13:46] <shredder12>  Hi, I am having trouble with vsftpd. I don't see a home directory of ftp user (/home/ftp) after installing it. So, I don't have any sharing directory.
[13:47] <grawity> shredder12: Maybe it's /var/ftp?
[13:47] <grawity> yancho: It never asks for a root password during installation.
[13:47] <uuuii> i am trying to install sagem fast 800 modem when i did modprobe ueagle-atm should get the result like that usb 1-2: [ueagle-atm] modem operational
[13:47] <uuuii> usb 1-2: [ueagle-atm] ATU-R firmware version : 43e2ead7
[13:47] <yancho> grawity,  ok so then i never set a password for it
[13:47] <uuuii> but i didnt get no thing
[13:47] <Younder> grawity, limited access, who introduced this with windows 2000 to protect users from themselves
[13:47] <shredder12> grawity, no its not
[13:47] <grawity> Younder: It was introduced much earlier - Windows NT 3.1
[13:48] <Younder> grawity, anyhow it is a good idea..
[13:48] <titan__> Adam, it may be a permissions issue. Try this, do this command in terminal, "sudo usermod -aG audio 'username'" So like for me the command would look like this: "usermod -aG audio titan" or for you maybe "usermod -aG audio adam" If you use adam as your user name.
[13:48] <karname> lenswipe : if you want to do simple work virtualbox is better , vmware server has web gui and better for network and remote control
[13:48] <lenswipe> karname, ah ok thanks
[13:48] <Younder> grawity, I stand corrected, should be BY windows 2000 (I didn't care before..)
[13:48] <uuuii> how can i get my modem get aperated ?
[13:48] <karname> lenswipe  : i think virtaulbox is opensource and vmware is not
[13:49] <grawity> Younder: And Unix had that from the very beginning :]
[13:49] <lenswipe> yh
[13:49] <titan__> karname, on a fresh install of ubuntu or an upgrade, the graphics drivers often need to be redone. If you can't get into x, this is most likely the case.
 i am trying to install sagem fast 800 modem when i did modprobe ueagle-atm should get the result like that usb 1-2: [ueagle-atm] modem operational
 usb 1-2: [ueagle-atm] ATU-R firmware version : 43e2ead7 but i got nothin
[13:49] <Adam> titan__; Done
[13:49] <karname> tkt
[13:49] <grawity> yancho: So if you are sure what you're doing -- "sudo passwd root".
[13:49] <grawity> yancho: But it is not recommended... especially if your server allows root logins with password.
[13:49] <Younder> Gravity: actually root aceess in early unixen gave you access to all unix macines
[13:50] <grawity> Younder: All?
[13:50] <karname> titan__: I can boot my laptop with recovery mode = > resume => sudo startx , but in normal boot after grub I see only blank screen
[13:50] <yancho> grawity,  any other suggestions to send a shutdown command via a remote ssh please?
[13:50] <Younder> Gravity: hence the sid.. (You see it if you try to write to the disk from a CD boot)
[13:50] <Younder> Gravity: ALL!
[13:50] <Chousuke> yancho: send a "sudo halt" and have it be nopasswd
[13:51] <shredder12> i have tried vsftpd on all the last 3 releases and after installing a default sharing directory /home/ftp was created but somehow tht's not the case in jaunty.. may be I messed up something..  anybody using vsftpd in jaunty?
[13:51] <grawity> yancho: "PermitRootLogin without-password" -- and then add this to root's authorized_keys:
[13:51] <titan__> karname, oh ok I see. I wouldn't know then, sorry.
[13:51] <grawity> yancho: command="poweroff" ssh-rsa BLahblahblah
[13:51] <Younder> Gravity: This is way 70's
[13:51] <yancho> grawity,  so i do not set a passwd to root like this right?
[13:51] <grawity> yancho: (replace ssh-rsa blahblahblah with that SSH key)
[13:51] <Adam> titan__; Less good news, comp won't boot
[13:52] <titan__> Adam, try the audio again and see if you still get the error, I think you might. I am still reading up more on your error, I may have soemthing else for you to try in a minute if you are still having the problem.
[13:52] <Adam> titan__; np soz i have to much on my mind
[13:52] <acomobile> can I have a long cmd (ex. ls -R /) running on display :0.0 and move it to a non-X11Forwarding (plain ssh)?
[13:52] <Adam> titan__; usb hdd was in
[13:52] <titan__> Adam, lol ok, you scared me there.
[13:52] <grawity> Younder: While Administrators cannot override ACLs like root can, they still can take ownership of any object.
[13:52] <linxeh> acomobile: if you run it in screen, yes
[13:53] <Myrth> what could be a reason of "The following packages have been kept back" and where can i find it?
[13:53] <grawity> Younder: Feh. Both OSes have their own advantages and disadvantages.
[13:53] <acomobile> how (screen ls -R /)?
[13:53] <yancho> grawity,  after changing permitrootlogin do i need to restart sshd?
[13:53] <grawity> yancho: Yes.
[13:53] <linxeh> acomobile: yes - then ctrl-a, d to detatch it to the background.   screen -r   to reattach on the other display
[13:54] <szonek> hi
[13:54] <Younder> grawity, rules are different from LAN administrators that for machiene administrators
[13:54] <grawity> acomobile: You cannot move already running processes. (It might be possible with cryopid, but doesn't work all the time.)
[13:54] <linxeh> acomobile: if you type screen by itself you'll get a new bash shell - this is the way I normally use it
[13:54] <mynameguy> hi please help my laptop has about 10 C more temperature than using Vista.
[13:54] <samosa> Hi, anyone here I can pm, who is knowledgable, on boot loaders?
[13:54] <mynameguy> using Ubuntu laptop is hotter why?
[13:54] <Adam> titan__; still there ;/
[13:54] <Adam> titan__; I believe that the main issue to this problem is Spotify
[13:55] <titan__> Adam, try this "sudo pulseaudio --kill " don't reboot after the command, just try the audio and see how it is.
[13:55] <acomobile> /me is now known as acovrig
[13:55] <samosa> anyone? had this issue for a while.
[13:55] <Younder> mynameguy, That sounds very wrong.. Normally the load should be lower
[13:56] <titan__> Adam, are you running Spotify in wine? I notice they don't have a Linux port.
[13:56] <mynameguy> Younder: I loaded Linux OS in 2 laptops, Ubuntu and Fedora in both my laptops, Linux OS has 10-15C higher temperature than Vista installed
[13:56] <Adam> titan__; E: core-util.c: Home directory /home/joja not ours. E: main.c: Failed killin demon: Access denied
[13:56] <mynameguy> and increasing temperature
[13:56] <Adam> titan__; yes
[13:56] <titan__> Adam, you used sudo with that command right?
[13:56] <samosa> mynameguy: probably a gpu/driver issue.
[13:56] <Adam> titan__; But I believe flash causes this issue also
[13:56] <Adam> titan__; yes
[13:57] <epinky> !ask > samosa
[13:57] <DrakeSkywing> hey all
[13:57] <Adam> titan__; I'm translating from my native langugage so It might not be exactly the same, but 99%
[13:57] <titan__> Adam, in winecfg, do you have alsa selected as the audio driver to use?
[13:57] <mynameguy> somosa: I am talking CPU temperature
[13:57] <samosa> oh.
[13:57] <Younder> mynameguy, sounds like a problem with the power management
[13:57] <m3onh0x84_> everybody, how to tweak or optimize ubuntu maximum, ubuntu so heavy with slackware or backtrack ?
[13:57] <titan__> Adam, it's ok, you are doing great, can't even tell english isn't your first language.
[13:58] <mynameguy> Younder: Power management looks to be major concern in laptops running linux?
[13:58] <mynameguy> somehow Vista seems to do a better job in Laptops than liux
[13:58] <Younder> mynameguy, for a educational try: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerManagement
[13:58] <acovrig> Adam, wow - what translation software?
[13:58] <Adam> titan__; I ran winecfg, pressed the audio bar.. It said "No registry sound driver has been found - wine will set one for you etc"
[13:59] <titan__> Adam, then you press it again, and see if alsa is selected.
[13:59] <karname> MYNAMEGUY : i have coolest cpu and quitter fan in ubuntu
[13:59] <Adam> titan__; Now It seems alsa-driver is the main driver
[13:59] <mynameguy> karname: what CPU are u using?
[13:59] <epinky> m3onh0x84_: didn't understand, ???
[14:00] <DrakeSkywing> hey i'm trying to find a program or script that finds duplicate directories, does anyone have any suggestions
[14:00] <acovrig> mynameguy, ubuntu works just fine in 2 laptops of mine, did you try knoppix?
[14:00] <karname> mynameguy : interl T2500 with harder work !
[14:00] <petsounds> !resetpanels | petsounds
[14:00] <titan__> Adam, do this command, same as before, but without sudo "pulseaudio --kill"
[14:00] <Younder> mynameguy, 10 C is not that critical. You need to get above about 130 C before you see failure. However it can reduce component lifetime
[14:00] <karname> *intel
[14:00] <DrakeSkywing> i've tried using fdupes
[14:00] <titan__> Adam, then play with the audio and see what you get.
[14:00] <DrakeSkywing> though it only finds files
[14:00] <m3onh0x84_> epinky: I installed full package of slackware but slack still light, but ubuntu so heavy
[14:01] <m3onh0x84_> backtrack 3, backtrack4 has more than 100 apps , it still light ?
[14:01] <DrakeSkywing> i've been trying to google up an answer to this
[14:01] <DrakeSkywing> though i can't find it
[14:01] <mynameguy> the thing is that I want to use Linux on my Laptops but cause of this bad temperature I dont want to install Linux
[14:01] <acovrig> mynameguy, ubuntu works just fine in 2 laptops of mine, did you try knoppix?
[14:01] <nomism> does someone know how i can export an environment variable in a Makefile?
[14:01] <mynameguy> is that another Distro?
[14:02] <titan__> m3onh0x84, ubuntu is heavy, it supports a lot of hardware out of the "box" and has lots of apps. Sometimes i think it's too heavy, but that's why there is Slack right =P
[14:02] <epinky> m3onh0x84_: use rcconf to disable some services, I think slacky has none by default
[14:02] <acovrig> no, a different KDE flavor
[14:03] <acovrig> personally I like GNOME better, but knoppix seems to work better on some systems
[14:03] <Adam> titan__; Seems all is okay now, can even almost run HD flash without a fleak
[14:03] <mynameguy> which is the Distro which does not destroy the CPU in Laptops?
[14:03] <mynameguy> by heat
[14:03] <Adam> titan__; Perhaps overclockin the cpu a bit will do the trick
[14:03] <fearzaurus> direct me to a chatroom for unix noobs
[14:03] <mynameguy> almost all Linux Distros destroy the CPU or the GPU by powermanagement issues
[14:04] <m3onh0x84_> epinky, I installed sysv- , chkconfig can tweak system but my ubuntu still heavy :D
[14:04] <c3l> how do I edit the grub menu.lst file? it does not exist in /boot/grub
[14:04] <acovrig> mynameguy, try http://www.knoppix.org/
[14:04] <titan__> Adam, it seems to be an issue with the pulseaudio, I had this problem with a game in wine before. Yes, do the Overclocking, and you may need to kill pulseaudio on boot.  Tun Plus 2009 - Terminal Emulation Software
[14:05] <mynameguy> ther are tons of Linux Distro unfortunately please tell me one which works well with LAPTOPS !!
[14:05] <epinky> m3onh0x84_: then try Lubuntu or Deli Linux, maybe you don't meet minimum requirements
[14:05] <titan__> Adam, you are running an Atom processor, if your bios doesn't have the ability to OC the processor, you might try using some "eee-pc" overclocking program like eee-control or something like that. It's for the EEE PC's but they have the same processor as your motherboard. Good luck with that.
[14:06] <acovrig> mynameguy, what is ur CPU?
[14:06] <Adam> titan__; comes in bios i beleive.. np
[14:06] <titan__> Adam, even better! Sweet, give it a try and let me know how it turns out.
[14:06] <mynameguy> acovrig: Intel Core 2 Duo 7900.......it is pretty state of the art!
[14:06] <samosa> Ok, Long story, like 12 months ago i tryed to install ubuntu 7.10 (or was it 8.10 cant remember) but anyways, I had initially winxp, and i installed ubuntu on different partition using a usb installation, (which uses ugly hacks), anyways when i try to uninstall and delete the it seemed to remove most of it...except everytime i start windows, now it still has the two options for dual boot, i know edit boot.ini, but am not that kn
[14:06] <samosa> owledgable, anyways when i tryed to see what happened when hit enter on ubuntu it simply restarted (as it is uninstalled...just boot menu still left)...now i install win7 which has its own boot loader, and it also shows ubuntu, but when i press enter in that, it gives a specific file causing the problem (forgot its name)...anyways did abit of research and found a simply GUI tool called EasyBCD, which can edit the bootmenu of any
[14:06] <samosa> filesystem like unix/linux/vista/xp/7/mac...so i tryed that problem is it does not detect the ubuntu, only 2 OS it sees which are win7/xp . I have no idea how to remove ubuntu entry but its annoying me, and was caused by installing it, anyone know a fix for this or had similiar problem?
[14:06] <FloodBot4> samosa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:06] <Adam> Don't paste that long sentences
[14:07] <mynameguy> samosa are you  from India origins?
[14:07] <mynameguy> acovrig: Intel Core 2 Duo 7900.......it is pretty state of the art!
[14:07] <samosa> 7900 ? :S
[14:07] <samosa> mynameguy: yes.
[14:08] <c3l> How do I edit the grub boot list? /boot/grub/menu.lst does not exist!
[14:08] <mynameguy> I am sorry it is Intel core 2 duo 9500 with 2.60 GHZ , 800 MHZ bus speed with 6MB cache
[14:09] <Adam> titan__; Only questio nnow is .. how to enter bios
[14:09] <samosa> 9500 ??
[14:09] <mynameguy> i dont want to destroy that CPU since I want my laptop running atleast 12 hrs a day
[14:09] <Adam> titan__; the sec I turn on the comp grub comes up
[14:09] <samosa> oh its a laptop cpu
[14:09] <mynameguy> and linux increases laptop temperature by 5C every 5 minutes
[14:09] <samosa> makes sense.
[14:09] <mynameguy> yes samosa
[14:10] <titan__> Adam, lol. Try as soon as you hit the power key, pressing escape, over and over again... if that doesn't work, try again with F1, then F2 then Delete
[14:10] <samosa> mynameguy: undervolt it :p
[14:10] <samosa> i dont know really...
[14:10] <mynameguy> so slax and Knoppix are good distros for Laptops eveveryone?
[14:10] <acovrig> I think they are lighter than Ubuntu
[14:10] <samosa> gentoo
[14:11] <mynameguy> no pover management issues in them?
[14:11] <samosa> anyone know answer to my question ? :-(
[14:11] <mynameguy> tell me one distro......I am tired with Distro hopping and more than anything else it is destroying my laptop
[14:11] <titan__> mynameguy, they are lighter, but will require QUITE a bit more work to get everything working properly. I am not sure how their hardware support is.
[14:11] <Younder> mynameguy, are you running Firefox?
[14:11] <acovrig> atleast knoppix runs better on my AMD Athalon 512MB RAM and a SAD SIS graphics (card?)
[14:11] <mynameguy> titan__ then it will not suit me
[14:12] <mynameguy> no
[14:12] <mynameguy> Younder: I write a simple C program and compile it using GCC and Boom my CPU temperature reaches 65 C!
[14:12] <titan__> mynameguy, you could try xubuntu, it is supposed to be lighter than ubuntu, but will have the same hardware support and applications.
[14:12] <epinky> c3l: I think it has changed place, now it's /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[14:13] <Younder> mynameguy, 65 % is acceptacble
[14:13] <Adam> titan__; Not that it matters but the screen is flickering alot during boot
[14:13] <mynameguy> but for Vista Temperature never goes above 40C
[14:13] <Adam> titan__; I'm not gettin into bios.. should I try to delay the bootup by settin in a usb stick with an OS on?
[14:14] <titan__> Adam, I get that sometimes, it's not an issue. Seems to happen more with beta drivers I think
[14:14] <Younder> mynameguy, gcc is much more CPU intensive than Visual C++
[14:14] <DrakeSkywing> anyone know how to match identical folders
[14:14] <mynameguy> Younder: that is new information for me
[14:14] <samosa> epinky: can i pm u?
[14:14] <titan__> Adam, that won't help, by the point the USB is slowing it down, it's past the bios. Let me look it up for you, what was your motherboard again?
[14:14] <acovrig> mynameguy, look in snaptic/add-remove for an overclocking app, get it and see if you can do the oposite of overclock (send less power to the cpu)
[14:15] <epinky> !pm | samosa
[14:15] <titan__> Adam, found it in my history. Looking
[14:15] <samosa> epinky: ...i just did...no answers...
[14:15] <acovrig> that should keep it cooler, and w/ ur cpu type/setup shouldn't slow u down lol
[14:15] <epinky> samosa: what bootloader are you using?
[14:15] <mynameguy> ubottu: samosa is typical indian do not worry :)
[14:16] <Adam> titan__; I believe delete is the correct key to hit... ion asrock 330
[14:16] <samosa> um, what do u mean? (am not very knowledgeble on bootloaders)
[14:16] <samosa> mynameguy: lol.
[14:16] <Younder> mynameguy, well it is a older system. If has many immediate compile stages. A preprocessor, a compiler, and then a assembler and a seperate linker. Also no pre compiled C++ headers.
[14:16] <epinky> samosa: is it how did you called it? EasyBCD?
[14:17] <samosa> Yes, I used GUI tool to edit bootloader which was called EasyBCD.
[14:17] <samosa> its cross platform i belive.
[14:17] <samosa> er wait nvm
[14:17] <Younder> mynameguy, these get run in paralell, you may well be using your CPU's more.
[14:17] <Adam> titan__; By hitting Del fast as the wind I got into GNU GRUB, beein able to choose from dif kernels and memtest
[14:17] <titan__> Adam, is your computer shutting fully down or does your motherboard have some type of setting that allows it to ALMOST shut fully down but not all the way, making it boot faster? Try shutting it down, then unplugging the power, plug the power back in, boot and hit delete over and over.
[14:17] <samosa> sorry, only windows, but says it can like read unix bootloaders and stuff
[14:17] <samosa> watever that means...
[14:17] <epinky> samosa: is it GRUB?
[14:18] <samosa> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EasyBCD
 yancho: "PermitRootLogin without-password" -- and then add this to root's authorized_keys: - the authorized_keys after i ssh-copy-id from the other box right?
[14:18] <titan__> Adam, the grub is after bios, we need to find you a way into bios, before grub.
[14:18] <samosa> EasyBCD modifies the Windows Vista/7 bootloader to add support for other entries. Windows NT, 2000, and XP are supported by chainloading NTLDR; DOS, Windows 3.x, 95, 98, and Me are booted via modified versions of IO.sys and the Windows 9x bootsector; Linux and BSD are loaded either by handing off control of the boot process GRUB and/or LILO or by using EasyBCD's own NeoGrub module (which is based on GRUB4DOS); and Mac OS X is lo
[14:18] <samosa> aded via the Darwin bootloader. [1]
[14:18] <titan__> Adam, I am looking through the manual for your motherboard now, just a min
[14:18] <Adam> titan__; There's a "speedboot kinda thing but I believe it's turned off.. but im not certain
[14:19] <samosa> oh...i dont think i used NeoGrub module
[14:19] <Adam> titan__; you advise me to pull the cord?
[14:19] <tilt> hooray! with ubuntu forums i got my wacom tablet to work with jaunty :)
[14:19] <samosa> wonder where that is..
[14:20] <frog>  ALSA lib control.c:909:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL front:0
[14:20] <titan__> Adam, ya, pull the cord AFTER shutting down, before booting back up.
[14:20] <samosa> In the "Diagnostics Center," it is possible to reset a corrupt BCD storage and automatically create the necessary entries for the current operating system, as well as search for and replace missing/corrupt boot files. This latter feature can be taken advantage of to install the Windows Vista BCD bootloader. [3]
[14:20] <samosa> EasyBCD can be used to change the boot drive, rename or change the order of any entries in the bootloader, and modify existing entries to point to a different drive. [4
[14:20] <cew> medan
[14:20] <samosa> EasyBCD can boot into Linux and BSD by one of two ways:
[14:20] <samosa> Chainloading GRUB/LILO/etc.
[14:20] <samosa> NeoGrub
[14:20] <samosa> The traditional chainloading method creates an image of the GRUB/LILO bootsector on the local disk and loads this image during boot-time in order to chainload the second bootloader which should already be configured to boot into Linux or BSD. [6]
[14:20] <FloodBot4> samosa: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:20] <samosa> EasyBCD also ships with NeoGrub, a customized build of Grub for Dos, which can be configured by editing C:\NST\menu.lst with the standard GRUB syntax for booting into the needed Linux or BSD partitions. [7]
[14:21] <Adam> titan__; biggest prob is that the monitor is a 52" and i'm sittin in my sofa
[14:21] <samosa> . . .
[14:21] <samosa> this is why i want to pm :(
[14:21] <decora> where do i go for help with compiling an ubuntu source package, when it tells me dependencies are broken
[14:21] <titan__> Adam! The key to get into bios is F2

[14:21] <Adam> titan__; anyways, i just did that..

[14:21] <shinran666> can i have a assistant
[14:21] <LjL> decora: have you typed "sudo apt-get build-dep packagename"?
[14:22] <Adam> titan__; Ok, that's good.. I'll try to reboot and hit f2.. fast as the wind
[14:22] <decora> LjL Yes... that also fails
[14:22] <samosa> epinky: ok, thanks.
[14:22] <sirect> I was wondering wheter someone could help me configuring my VPN-Connection... I already tried network-manager-pptp and OpenVPN

[14:22] <cew> medan
[14:22] <LjL> decora: you mean that command fails, or compiling fails after that command?
[14:22] <Adam> titan__; hurray! worked
[14:22] <titan__> Adam, I knew it would =P
[14:22] <oCean_> !id | cew
[14:23] <decora> LjL: sorry... E: Build-dependencies for gnome-utils could not be satisfied.
[14:23] <cew> medan
[14:23] <Adam> titan__; How much should I overclock it? From what I've read It's stable up to 2.1
[14:23] <decora> if i try individual packages, i get things like   libgnome-desktop-dev: Depends: libgnome-desktop-2-11 (= 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1) but 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2 is to be installed

[14:24] <thruxton> hello, I am using ubuntu 9.10 and am wondering how to make it shut down without confirming or waiting 60 seconds? I find it difficult to accidently hit shutdown, i want it to shut down right away, is this possible?
[14:24] <titan__> Adam, I would try a simple 2.0 then.
[14:24] <asus> helloo
[14:24] <Six_String_sense> hey! is there ipod support for Karmic yet? i havent found anything on Synaptic?
[14:24] <cew> medan
[14:24] <LjL> cew: can you stop repeating that?
[14:24] <cew> medan
[14:25] <Adam> Six_String_sense; Yes.. there's several programs whom can handle ipods, or what do you mean?
[14:25] <LjL> decora: it seems to work for me on Hardy; i guess you're on Karmic? maybe it's bug filing time
[14:25] <flithm> hey everyone... since updating to 9.10 I'm having a couple issues: 1) ssh connections to the machine take forever (literally 60 seconds or so, even to localhost), and 2) all my videos seem to play with a strange blue hue.  Anyone know anything about either of these issues?
[14:25] <decora> no im on 9.04
[14:25] <decora> 9.04, jaunty
[14:25] <Six_String_sense> Adam: i cant transfer anything to my ipod, i have tried gtkpod and songbird.
[14:25] <titan__> Six_String_sense, use Banshee, it comes with ipod support and is a great program, almost feels like itunes somewhat.
[14:26] <cew> hat
[14:26] <Adam> Six_String_sense; What iPod do you use? My (i believe fifth version) 80gb video works just fine with gtkpod
[14:26] <Six_String_sense> Nano, the square version.
[14:26] <Six_String_sense> 8bg
[14:26] <titan__> Six_String_sense, you will have to reformat your ipod though. It will have to be formated to work with Banshee... so you will lose your music on there. Though you can use programs to pull the music off first.
[14:26] <fetusbubble> Six_String_sense: A question please. -36-
[14:26] <Six_String_sense> gb!
[14:26] <thruxton> flithm: did you have a pre-existing .ssh folder? try a new user with fresh configs maybe?
[14:27] <decora> LjL: thanks anyways
[14:27] <Six_String_sense> titan__: ok, how do i format it?
[14:27] <lenswipe> hiya
[14:27] <oCean_> flithm: i've seen ssh taking a long time when it was set to resolve incoming ip.
[14:27] <Adam> Six_String_sense; http://www.ubuntux.org/how-to-use-an-ipod-with-ubuntu
[14:27] <titan__> Six_String_sense, after you install Banshee and all of the extras it wants to install with it, hook it up to the computer and try to do some stuff with it in Banshee, it should tell you that you have to format it and offer to do it.
[14:28] <Adam> Six_String_sense; Read that
[14:28] <Halabund> Hi!  How can I avoid having to type in a password when mounting a Windows partition in Karmic?

[14:29] <LjL> !pastebin | decora
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> Halabund:  make a proper entry for it in /etc/fstab is one way. Install/use/run  the 'ntfs-config' tool - that may add an entry, or otherwise let you access them with no password ne3eded

[14:30] <titan__> Adam, you might want to check your CPU temp just to make sure.
[14:30] <samosa> epinky: that only does it for the win7 bootloader, is there a way to remove it of the xp bootloader aswell? i have two bootloaders when it first boots, it goes into the win7 bootloader, which gives choices of 1. win7 2. winxp 3. ubuntu , if i go to win7 it will load that OS, if i go to 2nd option, it will load winxp bootloader which will give a further two options  1. winxp 2. ubuntu , as you can see i have two entries for two b
[14:30] <samosa> ootloaders in two completely different booloaders, also I dont really like the winxp bootloader, is there a way to remove it and just use the win7 bootloader? not sure if i can as winxp was my primary / main / first partition.
[14:30]  * danobook likes 9.10
[14:30] <ano> i just still in ano-desktop , that means it couldnt connect to my local sshserver

[14:30] <danobook> now on my new laptop i set up 9.10 in wubi and it's awesome :P
[14:30] <thruxton> on ubuntu 9.10 does anyone know how to make it shut down without confirming or waiting 60 seconds? I find it difficult to accidently hit shutdown, i want it to shut down right away, is this possible?
[14:31] <uuuii> !find ueagle-atm
[14:31] <danobook> power button?
[14:31] <samosa> if u are wondering what the 2. ubuntu and 3. ubuntu do, the 2nd just gives error to some specifc file, and the 3rd just reboots pc again.
[14:31] <decora> http://pastebin.com/fc0f262e  <-- my /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:31] <titan__> Adam, did you kill the pulseaudio again or did you create a startup command for that?
[14:31] <DrHalan> can somebody explain me why ubuntu does install the x11-apps package?
[14:31] <Adam> titan__; I haven't killed the pulseaudio, I've forgotten about that. Going to check dmesg
[14:31] <uuuii> !find glib
[14:32] <uuuii> !fing tomcat
[14:32] <epinky> samosa: in Winxp you've got to delete entries on "c:\boot.ini", however this is a Ubuntu support channel, go to ##windows and ask there
[14:32] <hyperstream> array(2) { [3]=> string(7) "Photo's" [7]=>  string(7) "Holiday"} <-- how can i loop this and get the values, say count($array) = 2, $i = 0; while ($i < (count($array)-1)) { get value of $array[$i]; }
[14:32] <LjL> decora: you have neither the -updates nor the -security repositories enabled. that's not good.
[14:32] <uuuii> !find tomcat
[14:32] <Six_String_sense> It wont recognize my ipod now.. itshows it on the desltop byt not on vanshee. I tried to disconnect it and plug again, but it cant disconnect it, saying its busy..?

[14:32] <hyperstream> wrong channel sorry
[14:33] <Adam> titan__; Yeah, the error is back. Need to create somesort of a startup command for that..

[14:33] <Six_String_sense> Shuold i format it from the desktop icon?
[14:33] <Adam> titan__; Seems spotify aint causin em no more .. after I changed em settings
[14:33] <titan__> Adam, you know how to do that right? I assume so, you seem to know as much Linux as me
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> shinran666:  depends on whaat you mean by browsing the network.. if you mean 'looking for samba/shares/windows machines'  the gnome file manager can do that.
[14:34] <samosa> epinky: ok thanks.
[14:34] <ethen637> hello all :)
[14:34] <Adam> titan__; sure
[14:34] <titan__> Adam, ok well if Spotify is working, I guess don't fix what isn't broke lol.

[14:48] <titan__> Adam, ok then the pulseaudio kill we did earlier probably was not the fix to Spotify, I think it was the winecfg part we did, do "pulseaudio --start" and see if spotify works again
[14:48] <Pholious> Dr_Willis, cool thanks
[14:48] <chazco> Hi... I want to remove some old kernels... what packages should i get rid of apart from linux-image-(version)?
[14:48] <m3onh0x84_> thankss all,
[14:48] <_SKiTZO> im wondering if its possible to have xorg.conf back
[14:49] <om26er> chazco: using karmic or jaunty?
[14:49] <robin0800> _SKiTZO: yes
[14:49] <_SKiTZO> i mean i was happy when it went away .. until today when trying to have 3 monitors
[14:49] <om26er> chazco: which kernel version you last installed?
[14:49] <Adam> titan__; i logged out and in
[14:49] <chazco> om26er - Karmic... thinking linux-headers, linux-image and what others
[14:49] <dremits> how can i login to ubuntu server on a machine running ubuntu desktop, not by using a web gui or ssh but by actually logging in as you would in a business network?
[14:49] <chazco> om26er - Ah, i meant what other packages, i know which versions to uninstall
[14:49] <Adam> titan__; worked
[14:49] <Pholious> oCean_, thanks, that worked as well :)
[14:49] <_SKiTZO> about that. i first had to remove nvidia binary driver. what a piece of junk. now i am probably on some low fat nv or even vesa driver
[14:49] <titan__> Adam, sweet
[14:49] <Jack21> om26er: is there an option in vlc? i am on a netbook so i still want my display to go to sleep , just not when watching stuff in vlc
[14:50] <_SKiTZO> but how can i tel when i dont have a xorg.conf file?
[14:50] <Jack21> i am sure apps can do this
[14:50] <om26er> chazco: header and kernel
[14:50] <orm4> i did uninstall old kernels by just using synaptic..
[14:50] <Adam> titan__; there's this sparklin sound just before hda-intel: Too big adjustment 32 hits the dmesg log
[14:50] <robin0800> _SKiTZO: you can add it
[14:50] <Adam> titan__; so much problems with this htpc
[14:50] <decora> dremits: there are many ways... vnc used to be the standard (i havent done it in years though)
[14:50] <Jack21> anyone know of an option in vlc?
[14:50] <_SKiTZO> robin0800: will it then "take over  completely" or will it just "assist" ?
[14:50] <orm4> what did the name synaptic mean?
[14:50] <om26er> chazco: actually if newer headers are installed older automatically get remove if you type sudo apt-get autoremove. AFAIK
[14:51] <_SKiTZO> robin0800: and can i have one generated from my current setup?
[14:51] <dremits> decora: do you know what the standard is now?
[14:51] <om26er> Jack21: i don't know about that. as i don't use vlc
[14:51] <chazco> om26er - Doesn't seem to be the case
[14:51] <titan__> Adam, I figured that is what you were doing was building an HTPC when I seen what motherboard you had and such, especially when you said 52" monitor,.
[14:51] <robin0800> _SKiTZO: assist and yes
[14:51] <Jack21> hmm , maybe i should get mplayer?
[14:52] <om26er> Jack21: totem has that option i think
[14:52] <_SKiTZO> robin0800: what to do to have it generate a config for me?
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> Pholious:  i was thinking it was using 'tail -n 100 -c 101   FILENAME'  (or somthing like that) checking 'info coreutils' tail invocation right now
[14:52] <Adam> titan__; It's really sweet :))
[14:52] <Jack21> totem? is that mplayer ? or the standard movie player?
[14:52] <om26er> Jack21: no it don't
[14:52] <decora> dremits: no i havent had an IT job since 2006
[14:53] <titan__> Adam, I bet! If I had the money, I would do something like that.
[14:53] <dremits> decora: ok
[14:53] <robin0800> _SKiTZO: X -configure with xserver off
[14:53] <om26er> Jack21: use smplayer.
[14:53] <om26er> Jack21: its a front-end to mplayer
[14:53] <decora> dremits: VNC will work though
[14:53] <dremits> decora: ok thanks
[14:54] <Younder> titan: HTTPC and 52 inch monitor.. stop trolling
[14:54] <Jack21> om26er , ok thanks , will try it
[14:54] <oCean_> !vnc | dremits
[14:54] <Adam> titan__; Wasn't that expensive.. I'm not rich.. like 380 usd for the box.. the monitor I had already (bought it really cheap) then the surround system was also cheap .. so :-)
[14:54] <orm4> what is the the best guide to lern to be a more advance user terminal and such things?
[14:54] <Pholious> Dr_Willis, hmm that'd be nice to work
[14:54] <wardholloway> test
[14:54] <dremits> decora: the thing is its not that i want to remotely control the server, i want to log on as a client of the server. does that make sense?
[14:54] <LjL> orm4: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic but i doubt there is a "best" guide.
[14:55] <om26er> orm4: its called " use terminal " give it time and you will learn all
[14:55] <titan__> Adam, nice! But alas, I am paying for a baby boy we just had without health insurance... I won't be buying anything for AWHILE>
[14:55] <wardholloway> test
[14:55] <Younder> orm4, Have you tried UNIX the ultimate reference
[14:55] <om26er> !test | wardholloway
[14:55] <Adam> titan__; Oh..  X11 is a network protocol.
[14:56] <Adam> titan__; Free healthcare in Sweden
[14:56] <Adam> :-)
[14:56] <orm4> LjL: ok, to much information is confusing somtimes, don't know where to start..
[14:56] <om26er> !ot | Adam
[14:56] <LjL> !cli | orm4, start here
[14:56] <lstarnes> Adam: isn't it paid for by taxes?
[14:56] <titan__> Adam, but I heard with that free healthcare you have to wait for months to get things you need, even things as important as open heart surgery.
[14:56] <wardholloway> quite
[14:56] <wardholloway> quit
[14:56] <Adam> lstarnes; Sure is.. but it covers alot more in Sweden
[14:56] <wardholloway> test
[14:56] <Adam> titan__; Not really.. I've never had to wait for anything
[14:56] <LjL> titan__, Adam: this is #ubuntu, please move other discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:56] <bazhang> wardholloway, please test elsewhere
[14:57] <Adam> LjL; Thanks for the enlightment
[14:57] <titan__> or to private =P
[14:57] <dremits> decora: ok but what about from a remote machine? so i hav the login screen of ubuntu desktop and i type in the username and password of a user of ubuntu server and i login?
[14:57] <Younder> om26er, or a more modern version http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/115/linux-unix-cheat-sheets---the-ultimate-collection/
[14:58] <Younder> I am abit ancient..
[14:58] <om26er> Younder: ?
[14:58] <orm4> I think you are doing a great job helping pepole here
[14:58] <pc400> How do I get ping in linux to show lost packets (like windwos does)?  "reply from, reply from, request timed out, reply from"...
[14:59] <decora> dremits: well, it has been a long time since I used vnc. I think you just have to type your username/password into your vnc client, and it connects to the vncserver on the server. If you want a 'genuine gdm login screen' i think you have to do more tricks (that i have never done). sorry i dont know more than that
[14:59] <tilt> wahhh this tablet works sooo nice :)
[14:59] <dremits> decora: ok i'll look into it. thanks
[14:59] <Younder> om26er, well look at the reference, it contains a plethora of commands
[14:59] <tilt> except for the special keys :P
[14:59] <om26er> Younder: i never asked for command to anyone
[14:59] <Younder> om26er, to find out more use man
[14:59] <om26er> *commands
[14:59] <tilt> I want to bind a modifier key <Shift> to some xinput device
[14:59] <om26er> ok
[15:00] <tilt> is there a gnome program that does that?
[15:00] <orm4> Uounder: ok, thanks
[15:00] <tilt> like "manage input devices"?
[15:00] <oCean_> orm4: ch5 of the ubuntu pocketguide also may be helpful: http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html
[15:01] <orm4> oCean_: I look in to that
[15:02] <decora> tilt: sorry, no idea. never owned an xinput device
[15:02] <Younder> oCean_, thanks..
[15:02] <tilt> decora: well
[15:03] <tilt> decora: you have a mouse? :D
[15:03] <thevishy> hi i am getting the following error while trying to install ubuntu using cd
[15:03] <tilt> or are you hardcore keyboard guy =)
[15:03] <thevishy> mount : mounting /dev/sda5 on /cdrom failed : Invalid arguement
[15:03] <decora> tilt: i must admit here, that i have in fact, from time to time, used a 'mouse'
[15:03] <thevishy> and then it goes to BusyBox built in shell ....
[15:04] <thevishy> and  further ...
[15:04] <tilt> decora: do "xinput list" ;D
[15:04] <jadakren> pc400, you mean you want the summary given at the end of the run on each line of the report?
[15:04] <jadakren> pc400 : ergo : 8 packets transmitted, 8 received, 0% packet loss, time 6998ms
[15:04] <thevishy> (inrafms) mount : mounting  /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed I/O error
[15:05] <comodo> bonjour
[15:05] <thevishy> cannot mount /dev/loop0 ( cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs on //filesystem.squashfs)
[15:05] <Lungan> Everytime I start ubuntu(fluxbox) the sound is set to mute and 0, so I have to run alsamixer everytime I log in, how do I fix it?
[15:05] <decora> tilt: lol, ok.... so what exactly do you mean by 'bind' the shift key to the device?
[15:05] <thevishy> can anyone tell me whats happening ?
[15:05] <tilt> decora: well
[15:05] <om26er> Lungan: installed the latest kernel?
[15:06] <tilt> decora: I have this drawing tablet
[15:06] <tilt> decora: and it has "special keys"
[15:06] <Lungan> om26er, The problem have lasted for a long time
[15:06] <tilt> decora: one of those keys I want ot make act like a shift key
[15:06] <decora> tilt: ohhhhhhhhhhhh
[15:06] <tilt> decora: it's a key, basically, I can press and release it, X11 sees it, too, so basically no problem
[15:06] <om26er> Lungan: which kernel version??\
[15:07] <tilt> I knowhow to do it on the cmdline
[15:07] <orm4> this thing about mounting/umount seams to work atomatic in the gnome gui is it really any need to unmount a device before you fysikal removi it?
[15:07] <Lungan> om26er, Don't know, how do i check?
[15:07] <tilt> I just wondered if there is a GUI program by now that does that
[15:07] <decora> tilt: are you using gnome?
[15:07] <ACameron> thevishy: Unfortunately, I don't know how to resolve your problems, but you might get a better response rate by making your question a little more concise, and asking it all in one message, instead of several in a row.
[15:07] <jadakren> thevishy: you need to reburn the cd
[15:07] <tilt> decora: yes
[15:07] <thevishy> right
[15:07] <tilt> decora: jaunty
[15:07] <thevishy> thanks i will do that
[15:07] <om26er> Lungan: uname -a
[15:07] <ACameron> thevishy: Or, jadakren will answer you right away.  :D
[15:07] <LjL> orm4: you certainly need to unmount things before unplugging them. you can do it from the GUI, though, but it's still unmounting.
[15:08] <Lungan> om26er,  Linux unknown-laptop 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 14:54:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[15:08] <jadakren> thevishy: i assume you are trying to install karmic?
[15:08] <shinran666> ok how do i execute the samba apt
[15:08] <yellabs> hi there
[15:09] <om26er> Lungan: its the proposed one that comes with updates. if i install a later kernel then i face the problem you face but not with this version
[15:09] <orm4> LjL: ok, but why it's working anyway for me, is it to avoid system crash?
[15:09] <Lungan> om26er, I think my problem have something to do with fluxbox? What is the channel to fluxbox+
[15:09] <oCean_> thevishy: be sure to checksum your download before burning: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[15:09] <yellabs> i have firefox 3.5 but cant play apple.com/trailers , what can i do ?
[15:09] <shinran666> ok how do i execute the samba apt
[15:10] <SineDeviance> hi... i want to disable some services i dont need and speed up ubuntu... any tips?
[15:10] <LjL> orm4: no, it's to avoid destroying the data on your removable devices, or in certain cases, your removable device itself (USB key)
[15:10] <sam_> anyone know of a face to face webcam chat that works in ubuntu? Must be embedded in a browser. OOVOO javascript seems to fail on firefox
[15:10] <ACameron> Does anybody know how to reset the login screen to its default appearance in 9.10?  I managed to change it by enabling and then disabling the "high-contrast" accessibility option.. but it's not back to what it was at first.
[15:10] <yellabs> amsn
[15:10] <yellabs> tokbox
[15:10] <LjL> orm4: unplugging USB keys without unmounting them is a gamble. it may go well for a while, and then you lose your data.
[15:10] <oCean_> !prefix | yellabs
[15:10] <yellabs> i have firefox 3.5 but cant play apple.com/trailers , what can i do ?
[15:11] <om26er> i have firefox 3.5.5 but cannot play chess at facebook.. (ubuntu-restricted-extras is installed)
[15:11] <thevishy> I get the following error when I try to install ubuntu using a cd that i burnt
[15:11] <thevishy> mount : mounting /dev/sda5 on /cdrom failed : Invalid arguement
[15:11] <thevishy> It goes to the BusyBox built in shell and then outputs

[15:11] <orm4> LjL: I see, thanks, I just plug my 3g-modem in and out all the time.. i stop the gamble..
[15:11] <thevishy> I get the following error when I try to install ubuntu using a cd that i burnt

[15:11] <thevishy> It goes to the BusyBox built in shell and then outputs

[15:11] <FloodBot4> thevishy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:11] <decora> tilt: sorry... a bit beyond me...
[15:11] <lstarnes> thevishy: please stop pasting; we can hear you
[15:11] <thevishy> sorry really
[15:12] <LjL> orm4: eh? a modem is not something that you mount/unmount
[15:12] <thevishy> i thought the interface was not working ( mirc)
[15:12] <thevishy> so can anyone tell me whats happening and why the booting is not coming
[15:12] <ACameron> thevishy: Have you tried reburning the cd like jadakren suggested?
[15:12] <lstarnes> thevishy: when you first downloaded the cd, did you check its md5 and sha sums to make sure that it wasn't corrupt?
[15:13] <thevishy> i burnt 2 times
[15:13] <bazhang> thevishy, md5 the iso
[15:13] <thevishy> once I did a disk check and it said one file had an error
[15:13] <bazhang> !md5 | thevishy
[15:13] <thevishy> yeah I know md5
[15:13] <LjL> lstarnes: md5 *and* sha? bit paranoid are we :P
[15:13] <ACameron> LjL: it's not enough!  GPG too plz
[15:13] <thevishy> second time i burnt cd and used the inbuilt option in CD to test the integrity of the disk
[15:13] <bazhang> thevishy, the disk integrity check indicated an error? then reburn at low speed. paste.ubuntu.com in future and dont flood the channel
[15:14] <LjL> ACameron: GPG isn't a hash function, GPG *uses* hash functions...
[15:14] <thevishy> and it came up as the disk has no errors , so do u think I should burn ?
[15:14] <ACameron> LjL: :D
[15:14] <bazhang> thevishy, yes.
[15:14] <thevishy> second CD didnt indicate any error - showed zero
[15:14] <decora> thevishy: try burning at a slower speed, or using a different CDROM drive. also try memtest your machine
[15:14] <erUSUL> !grub2
[15:14] <lstarnes> thevishy: you could also try using the alternate cd
[15:15] <thevishy> right
[15:15] <thevishy> but any idea what the error is?
[15:15] <bazhang> indicative of a bad burn thevishy
[15:15] <ACameron> thevishy: I've had hard times using the LiveCD on my laptop in the past, but the alternate always worked fine.  I never did figure out what was going on with the LiveCD, though.
[15:17] <usr13> ACameron: What is your laptop?
[15:17] <Six_String_sense> ok. i messed up my ipod big time! can anyone please tell me what the f'uck i have to do to add a song to my player?
[15:17] <thevishy> I started a new burn at 8x speed
[15:17] <ACameron> usr13: Dell Inspiron 6400.  I believe the LiveCD works nowadays, but I haven't done a fresh install of Ubuntu in... a while.  ;-)
[15:17] <m3onh0x84_> sorry everybody, I have to go to bed now
[15:17] <thevishy> but the thing is , the disk test showed zero errors
[15:18] <m3onh0x84_> sorry everybody, I have to go to bed now
[15:18] <agent42> thevishy: did you test cd from livecd boot menu?
[15:18] <Six_String_sense> gtkpod is sending errors, my ipod wont play anything.
[15:18] <ACameron> sorry m3onh0x84_, you have to go to bed now.  Good night.
[15:18] <decora> vishy: disk test runs under different conditions than installation. installation uses lots of seeks, timings might be off, etc
[15:18] <thevishy> u mean in Windows or ...during boot up  ? agent42
[15:18] <m3onh0x84_> ACameron, not at all
[15:18] <orm4> A question about using more then two os and the grub2: is grub going to find the third os it self and make it an option when bootup?
[15:19] <thevishy> ok
[15:19] <thevishy> !md5
[15:19] <usr13> ACameron: One thing to realize is that each time a new version is cranked out, there are lots of updates that follow, bugfixes etc... so may be one of those that you were seeing with your laptop.
[15:19] <thevishy> my laptop is pretty old ...
[15:19] <thevishy> but XP works almost fine
[15:20] <decora> CDROMs don't all work exactly the same, some are flaky
[15:20] <ACameron> usr13: Probably.  I started using Ubuntu on my laptop waaaaaay back around 6.10.  That was REALLY buggy.  Every single release has included substantial new features and support that previous ones haven't.
[15:20] <decora> brb
[15:20] <basic786> kira: Hi
[15:20] <thevishy> I have lots of ubuntu 6.10 CD's
[15:20] <usr13> ACameron: I stick with LTS
[15:20] <ACameron> usr13: It's actually started to slacken off in the more recent releases, simply because there's so little broken that's left to fix!  :D
[15:20] <Six_String_sense> id jsut like to add a song to my ipod :D but now gtkpod is sending errors that all my music files are not available, my ipod wont play anything anymore,, it shows the songs but says that theres free space about 7gb/8gb
[15:20] <thevishy> is it ok to install ubuntu 6.10 and then can I update to the latest ?
[15:21] <usr13> ACameron: And am only now considering 9.10 for about a month or so from now.
[15:21] <Michael221> on 9.04 my internet was fine but when i upgraded to 9.10 it became almost dialup slow, why?
[15:21] <kira911> terror
[15:21] <mattgyver> thevishy, however if you want to utilize ext4 or grub2 I would just start with 9.10
[15:21] <bazhang> thevishy, no its end of life
[15:21] <thevishy> ok
[15:21] <basic786> kira911: BAGASS
[15:21] <Six_String_sense> did i really mess up my ipod now too? :D
[15:21] <usr13> Michael221: Not sure, we would need more info.
[15:21] <LjL> thevishy: it's probably not such a good idea.
[15:21] <basic786> kira911: baiguesss
[15:21] <usr13> Michael221: May be a network issue that is unrelated to the upgrade.
[15:21] <kira911> fukin bitch

[15:22] <Michael221> ok, my other computers are fine though, which don't run Ubuntu
[15:22] <thevishy> karmic?
[15:22] <thevishy> karmic is the release name of the new ubuntu ?

[15:24] <Michael221> its really slow wireless but also when i connect directly with ethernet
[15:24] <decora> LjL : I want to say thank you for pointing me to the problem, sudo apt-get build-dep is working now. apparently netbook remix doesn't come with updates enabled in sources.list ?
[15:25] <pat2> my ext hd wouldnt load (appeared in lsusb but not fdisk -l)
[15:25] <LjL> decora: apparently. doesn't seem like a very good idea though.
[15:25] <pat2> so i formatted it in windows
[15:25] <usr13> Michael221: So you get same slow speed when you connect via wired connection?
[15:25] <thevishy> i would also check if my comp has USB support during boot
[15:25] <Michael221> yes
[15:25] <pat2> and would like to use testdisk to rewirte the partition table for ext3
[15:25] <orm4> well folks, I did the netbook remix install of karmic and now I can't use the "desktop" to på diffrent icons and trash that im used to do, is there any easy way to get the normal ubuntu desktop?
[15:26] <decora> pat2: does it have any important data on it?
[15:26] <usr13> Michael221: Do a speed test and see what it says, (give us numbers)
[15:26] <usr13> Michael221: http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
[15:26] <pat2> decora: yes
[15:26] <mynameguy> hi I do not know but Linux does not work well with Laptops especially Thinkpad T61
[15:26] <decora> pat2: back it up before you do anything
[15:26] <mynameguy> I have hade major problems with heat buildup over the past 1 week
[15:26] <usr13> mynameguy: Works pretty good on mine...
[15:26] <LjL> pat2: testdisk can (sometimes) recover the old partition table, but it can't recover *filesystems* that were formatted over
[15:26] <mynameguy> what is the use of using Linux in laptops when it can destroy ur CPU
[15:27] <Michael221> 2521 kbps download and 319 upload kbps
[15:27] <LjL> pat2: so if you reformatted an ext3 partition to FAT or something, testdisk won't undo that
[15:27] <pat2> Ljl: ah ok i was afraid of that
[15:27] <mynameguy> usr13: what distro are u using
[15:27] <LjL> !recover > pat2    (pat2, see the private message from ubottu) you will find more tools and instructions here
[15:27] <pat2> Ljl: can i still recover the files somehow?
[15:27] <LjL> pat2: not easily
[15:27] <pat2> ok thanks
[15:28] <decora> !recover > decora
[15:28] <usr13> Michael221: What are you supposed to be getting (according to your ISP)?
[15:28] <Michael221> let me check
[15:29] <anteaya> how do I search a manual for a specific entry?
[15:29] <epinky> anteaya: apropos ?
[15:29] <Michael221> i'm not sure
[15:30] <ACameron> Alright, I'm out.  Have a nice day, everyone!
[15:30] <usr13> Michael221: Try a couple of speed tests and see how it fluctuates.
[15:30] <Michael221> ok
[15:30] <mynameguy> what will be the best distro for Heat management in Laptops??/ I tried Ubuntu, FedoraCore and FreeBSD all are destroying the CPU?
[15:31] <poutine> mynameguy, do you have a single citation for your half cooked notion that linux kills laptops with heat?
[15:31] <usr13> Michael221: I'm getting 1954 kbps & 1944 kbps down on two tests back to back.
[15:31] <kostkon> mynameguy, windows
[15:31] <LjL> mynameguy, try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic, as this channel is about Ubuntu support
[15:31] <Michael221> ok
[15:31] <BluesKaj> mynameguy, perhaps your cpu is destroying itself
[15:31] <decora> mynameguy: have you tried googling for your specific model of laptop and heat issues with bsd or linux?
[15:31] <mynameguy> poutine: whom are u KIDDING???????......Type Thinkpad Ubuntu Heat or Thinkpad Fedora heat and u will see tons of results
[15:32] <tiger2wander> Anyone help me please, My computer does not detect sd card :(
[15:32] <BluesKaj> mynameguy, tell us which cpu it is
[15:32] <mynameguy> the fact is that Linus Distros have Failed to work with Laptops but the same Job MS has done wonderfully well
[15:32] <usr13> mynameguy: So you are getting higher performance from Linux than Windows?  That is interesting...
[15:32] <mynameguy> why cannot u agree to this one facts?
[15:32] <decora> mynameguy: there might be some command line option to alter the way the kernel behaves
[15:32] <LjL> !ot | mynameguy
[15:32] <bazhang> mynameguy, please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:33] <tiger2wander> I'm using karmic 64 bit with kernel 2.6.31-15-generic #50-Ubuntu
[15:33] <BluesKaj> !troll
[15:33] <usr13> mynameguy: Come back when you have a question about Ubuntu.
[15:33]  * LjL sighs
[15:33] <Michael221> this time i got 1168 and 2583 for upload, but its sort of weird because it is only really slow when navigating to a website, once its there its ok.  Like it takes forever to log in to facebook, but once i'm there its ok, and it takes a long time to pull up a youtube video but once the page is up it will load it quickly, but if i were, from taht page, to type in google.com or something, it would take a minute or so to get there
[15:34] <mynameguy> well I have ubuntu on my Laptop and it is so hot I cannot even type in it
[15:34] <anteaya> epinky, you are onto something with apropos but I can't seem to get the command exact yet, thanks
[15:34] <usr13> mynameguy had a hot laptop!  :)
[15:35] <agent42> mynameguy: i had heat problems on an acer w ubuntu 9.10, there was a bios update available => fixed
[15:35] <BluesKaj> he was here yesterday complaining about the same problem
[15:36] <GhotiPhud> I'm trying to make an iso of a dvd, but the dd command keeps stopping with an input/output error.
[15:36] <bazhang> mynameguy, stay on topic. chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:36] <cemc> hi. I was wondering where the proprietary ATI driver stores it's settings (like dual head, resolutions etc)
[15:36] <BluesKaj> he would tell us what his cpu is , iirc
[15:36] <usr13> Michael221: You may be hitting a dead DNS server. Look at /etc/resolv.conf and check to see that the first one is up and running, (try pinging it).
[15:36] <BluesKaj> wouldn't
[15:36] <GhotiPhud> I'm trying to make an iso of a dvd, but the dd command keeps stopping with an input/output error but the disk works fine.  What can I do to fix this?
[15:36] <epinky> anteaya: apropos <topic>
[15:36] <agent42> mynameguy: i had heat problems on an acer w ubuntu 9.10, there was a bios update available => fixed
[15:37] <poutine> cemc, in the org.conf, like anything else
[15:37] <saji_> !iso
[15:37] <poutine> cemc, xorg.conf I meant
[15:37] <cemc> poutine: besides that. there's nothing relevant there
[15:37] <mynameguy> agent42: where to get the bios update
[15:37] <poutine> cemc, there is no besides that, there may be defaults, but that's where all graphics systems store resolution information
[15:37] <decora> GhotiPhud: can you list your commandline exactly?
[15:37] <decora> GhotiPhud: and the error, exactly?
[15:38] <saji_> !iso > GhotiPhud
[15:38] <agent42> mynameguy: it is an acer
[15:38] <thevishy> did u guys say alternate build for iso?
[15:38] <Michael221> it said  nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>.1 but i don't really know what pinging it means
[15:38] <poutine> Michael221, I hope you hand typed that
[15:38] <bazhang> thevishy, yes, it is install only with a text interface
[15:38] <Michael221> it said that when i just typed it into the address bar in firefox
[15:38] <GhotiPhud> dd if=/dev/cdrom of=dvd.iso
[15:38] <GhotiPhud> dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error

[15:38] <poutine> user__, <IP_ADDRESS>.1 is not a valid IP
[15:38] <thevishy> bazhang : means no GUI like gnome ?
[15:39] <poutine> user__, I think he meant <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:39] <thevishy> thanks
[15:39] <poutine> there's only 4 parts to a dotted quad IP address
[15:39] <Michael221> it said 10.0.01
[15:39] <cemc> poutine: I fumbled around with dual-head on my laptop with ATI CCC. now those settings are stored somewhere, because even if I'm on single display, I can scroll right like there's another display (the width is twice of my monitor's resolution). where is _this_ stored? it's not in xorg.conf
[15:39] <bazhang> thevishy, it will once installed, just not a live cd installer
[15:39] <thevishy> that looks better
[15:39] <thevishy> i am downloading that too
[15:39] <usr13> Michael221: So try pinging it.
[15:39] <epinky> GhotiPhud: use /dev/sr0 instead of /dev/cdrom
[15:39] <thevishy> i will chek the new burnt cd now ...cya thanks
[15:39] <anteaya> epinky, yes but i want a keyword inside that application's manual, specifically I am searching for 'log-append' inside of the openvpn's manual - it is a big manual, and thanks
[15:39] <poutine> Michael221, I really doubt that
[15:40] <cemc> poutine: xorg.conf has some bare minimum stuff, just the driver and some empty sections, no resolutions there
[15:40] <GhotiPhud> decora: http://paste.ubuntu.com/330353/
[15:40] <poutine> Michael221, there's 4 parts to a dotted quad IP address, 10.0.01 is not valid
[15:40] <Michael221> <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:40] <thelinuxnewb> hey for some reason whever I go to burn a video dvd, using DeVeDe and Brasero, the audio lags by at least half a second, sometimes up to 5 seconds. Does anyone know the reason why that may be?
[15:40] <oCean_> anteaya: use "/"
[15:40] <usr13> Michael221: Looks to me like you are getting bogas a DNS IP from somewhere, (more than likely the router).
[15:40] <usr13> Michael221: Is that your router's IP?
[15:40] <saji_> Hi there... I have a problem with an unclean mount of an NTFS partition..
[15:40] <poutine> cemc, That's where CCC stores it if you save it
[15:40] <Michael221> no
[15:40] <decora> GhotiPhud: did you see epinky 's suggestion above?
[15:40] <friendishan> how do i killev evolution mail i's not closing nor it is doing it's work
[15:40] <anteaya> oCean_, sorry I don't understand the context of your suggestion, where are you suggesting that I use "/"?
[15:40] <filosofico> hi, is there a way to block networking only for an application?
[15:41] <oCean_> anteaya: inside the manual use "/append"
[15:41] <Six_String_sense> Banshee wont recognize my ipod.....? how can i get my system to notice ipod?
[15:41] <anteaya> oCean_, ah, now I see thank you
[15:41] <aaron11> Hello. Im having a phone that has audio in the AMR format. I want to know how to get the AMR plugin because movie player cant play it
[15:41] <oCean_> anteaya: which will search for "append" inside that manual
[15:41] <GhotiPhud> I will try /dev/sr0
[15:41] <saji_> hello there
[15:41] <Boohbah> anteaya: inside the 'man' program, pressing '/' will search for the following text
[15:41] <usr13> Michael221: that is your problem.  Put a usable DNS IP in /etc/resolv.conf and see how you do.  (like <IP_ADDRESS>)
[15:42] <friendishan> how do i killev evolution mail i's not closing nor it is doing it's work
[15:42] <Boohbah> anteaya: same in 'less' and 'vim'
[15:42] <anteaya> oCean_, Boohbah thank you, thank you, that was what I was after, cheers
[15:42] <GhotiPhud> epinky, decora: sr0 produced the same error
[15:42] <saji_> aaron11, to play amr files you have to enable medibuntu repository...
[15:42] <Michael221> how would i do that?
[15:42] <bazhang> friendishan, dont repeat so quickly
[15:42] <friendishan> bazhang : k
[15:42] <usr13> Michael221: Or your router's IP (most all routers nowdays have a caching nameserver onboard).
[15:42] <aaron11> saji_: How do I
[15:42] <anteaya> Boohbah, I knew about vim but I don't know 'less' at all, good to know, thanks
[15:42] <aaron11> saji_: Can you guide me through
[15:42] <usr13> Michael221: Edit /etc/resolv.conf
[15:42] <friendishan> bazhang : it's an emergency wanted to check my mail
[15:42] <Boohbah> anteaya: less is good for reading a large text file or a log file
[15:43] <Boohbah> anteaya: i think the man program is actually pipe through it
[15:43] <poutine> Michael221, sudo echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" > /etc/resolv.conf
[15:43] <bazhang> friendishan, asking many times repeatedly wont get a faster answer. be patient.
[15:43] <saji_> aaron11,sure.....
[15:43] <anteaya> Boohbah, I didn't know about it, I will check it out, my thanks
[15:43] <saji_> !medibuntu
[15:43] <friendishan> bazhang : k
[15:43] <cemc> poutine: you 100% sure there's no other place? If I don't have anything in xorg.conf but resolution is still messed up with the fglrx driver, if I uninstall it, everything's ok, if I reinstall it the same problem reappears
[15:43] <epinky> GhotiPhud: sudo included ? (i.e sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 ....)
[15:44] <poutine> cemc, look, I'm not going to say it again, I'm 100
[15:44] <poutine> % certain
[15:44] <aaron11> saji_: Ok
[15:44] <usr13> Michael221: sudo gedit  /etc/resolv.conf
[15:44] <aaron11> saji_: How do I
[15:44] <GhotiPhud> epinky: same error if I use sudo
[15:44] <saji_> aaron11, 1 minute pls...
[15:44] <Michael221> what is sudo gedit?
[15:45] <cemc> poutine: alright
[15:45] <an0nmat1r> tool to split a mpg file?
[15:45] <saji_> aaron11, read this link- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[15:45] <decora> GhotiPhud: hmm.. from googling, i wonder if it might be an encrypted DVD
[15:45] <Boohbah> GhotiPhud: what are you trying to do? you can see mounted drives with the 'mount' command
[15:45] <Six_String_sense> You run the gedit software as a root user
[15:45] <GhotiPhud> Michael221: sudo gedit is running gedit as root
[15:45] <saji_> aaron11, if any further doubts.. I'll be here.. :)
[15:45] <epinky> GhotiPhud: sudo cdrecord --scanbus

[15:46] <GhotiPhud> Boohbah: I can see the drive mounted
[15:46] <usr13> bazhang: Thank you
[15:46] <GhotiPhud> Boohbah: but then I unmounted it to run the command
[15:46] <usr13> !gksudo
[15:46] <anteaya> unfortunately, the manual is no help, I have to modify openvpn.config to include a path to output log files, thus far there is no command to write log files, the openvpn channel directed me to the man but it only has a command line suggestion not a syntax template for appending to the openvpn.config, I'm taking suggestions. Thanks.
[15:46] <saji_> aaron11, you there.....
[15:46] <Boohbah> Six_String_sense: the configuration will be fun for you;
[15:47] <aaron11> saji_: Hi ummm... When I type that will it install the amr stuff
[15:47] <Michael221> where is that?
[15:47] <Six_String_sense> Boohbah: help appreciated.. :D i have tired couple guides but nothing. gtkpod just sends error messages...
[15:47] <saji_> aaron11, No it won't... after adding that repository.. Go to Synaptic and serach for amr....
[15:47] <GhotiPhud> epinky: http://paste.ubuntu.com/330363/
[15:48] <aaron11> saji_: Ok
[15:48] <BluesKaj> bazhang, too many cooks ...there should be a limit set to the number of advisors when dealing with questions from new users ...I still recall fro 7 yrs ago how confusing it was when I'd get 6 different answers to one simple question
[15:48] <Boohbah> anteaya: i am reading the example opevpn config file
[15:48] <saji_> aaron11, then install the related packages....
[15:48] <decora> GhotiPhud: if you burn a DVD of plain data, can you read it with dd? that would rule out drive issues
[15:48] <Boohbah> anteaya: it says. 'By default, log messages will go to the syslog'
[15:48] <aaron11> saji_: Ok And I apply for installation
[15:48] <saji_> aaron11, please tell me if it works... :)
[15:48] <Boohbah> anteaya: are you trying to split them into an openvpn.log file?
[15:48] <anteaya> Boohbah, but they aren't, and I don't have any syntax
[15:48] <anteaya> Boohbah, no, I am trying to find them
[15:48] <Boohbah> http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/trunk/openvpn/sample-config-files/server.conf
[15:49] <GhotiPhud> decora: I tried this on a DVD and on an audio CD that I had burned myself
[15:49] <GhotiPhud> decora: same result both times
[15:49] <oCean_> anteaya: like log-append /var/log/openvpn.log
[15:49] <aaron11> saji_: I hope it works
[15:49] <anteaya> oCean_, yes like that, can I put that line in the config file?
[15:49] <anteaya> Boohbah, oCean_ here is my .config: https://gist.github.com/e24fae9736e8a2df31c1
[15:50] <Boohbah> anteaya: http://svn.openvpn.net/projects/openvpn/trunk/openvpn/sample-config-files/server.conf
[15:50] <decora> GhotiPhud: do those disks work properly in another machine? (ie are they known good burns?)
[15:50] <Boohbah> anteaya: the log-append line is in this example
[15:50] <anteaya> Boohbah, oCean_ is it there and I'm just not seeing it
[15:50] <anteaya> Boohbah, k
[15:50] <saji_> aaron11, I'm sure it'll.... I used to use amr by that method....
[15:50] <GhotiPhud> decora: yes, they work in another laptop and in a dvd player
[15:50] <Boohbah> anteaya: try ctrl-f in your web browser :)
[15:50] <aaron11> saji_: It does not work
[15:51] <saji_> aaron11, Aren't you trying it now? tell me if u encounter any probs...
[15:51] <oCean_> anteaya: that does not seem a openvpn.conf file?
[15:51] <saji_> aaron11, what problem occured?

[15:52] <saji_> aaron11, wait let me try it... I'll give you the exact method to do it..
[15:52] <usr13> Michael221: But you more than likely have a nameserver on your network that is giving out a bogus DNS IP and you need to correct the issue. #Sorry, about the O/T thread here but...

[15:55] <Boohbah> hackoo: write to broadcom if you don't like it :)
[15:55] <moonlite> I'm trying to debug a sound problem. My first course of action is trying to stop pulseaudio to see if the problem might be there (or in its dependencies). How do i do it? killall pulseaudio or killall -9 pulseaudio doesn't work. Are there some process around that automatically respawns it?
[15:56] <hackoo> Boohbah: in jaunty it was working fine out of box, on installation it was showing alert to enable properitory driver.
[15:56] <aaron11> saji_: So...
[15:56] <Adam> Do I have to mount a .img file to play it in ubuntu? Seems like such a hazzle
[15:56] <moonlite> pulseaudio -k doesn't work either, neither does /etc/init.d/pulseaudio force-quit
[15:56] <usr13> moonlite: Use the pid
[15:56] <Michael221> ok
[15:56] <usr13> moonlite: ps aux |grep pulseaudio
[15:56] <Boohbah> moonlite: ps aux |grep pulse | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9
[15:56] <ido_> thanks, another question: I have only ubuntu installed on my machine. Is it possible to run windows without diminishing the Ubuntu performance? How?
[15:56] <saji_> aaron11, wait pls... I'm trying to install it..
[15:57] <GhotiPhud> decora: I am able to copy this disk with k3b...
[15:57] <usr13> GhotiPhud: Good4u :-)
[15:57] <moonlite> Boohbah, usr13: that shouldnt (and didn't) matter.
[15:57] <Boohbah> ido_: performance is not affected for either OS. They are not running at the same time or using the same resources.
[15:57] <aaron11> I need a AMR decoder plugin so that tottem can play AMR files. Where do I get it. I tried mediubuntu respetories
[15:58] <usr13> ido_: Dual boot.
[15:58] <moonlite> it respawned with a new PID though so my suspicions were correct.
[15:58] <Boohbah> moonlite: good luck, ubuntu sound is a mystery!
[15:58] <decora> GhotiPhud: i would do a google for dd encyrption dvd
[15:58] <ido_> Even if I will install Windows on Virtual box and allocate RAM for it?
[15:58] <decora> GhotiPhud: apparently some DVDs encrypt using unusual methods that confuse dd
[15:59] <usr13> ido_: If you have enough memory and a powerful enough CPU you can use kvm or virtualbox
[15:59] <GhotiPhud> decora: the thing that has me stumped is that I was just trying to make an iso of an audio cd that I burned.  I only used the DVD after that failed
[15:59] <usr13> !virtualbox
[15:59] <moonlite> Boohbah, hm thx. :)
[15:59] <mrqismrx> how come when I go into display and uncheck mirror displays , it acctually says I can run with 1680x1050 which is my supported resolution for my external monitor. but when I am entering catalyst control center It found my monitor and everything but says the my max resolution is the same as my laptop screens. I want to be able to run with full resolution when using hdmi to my laptop. what should I do=
[15:59] <usr13> !kvm
[15:59] <SundanceKid> !lol
[16:00] <decora> GhotiPhud: oh yeah. hrm.... this is a long shot, what if you use dd using different block sizes, like dd bs=128k
[16:00] <ew2> whats the command for checking whether x is an integer ?
[16:00] <Adam> How do I play .img files on Ubuntu ? Do I have to mount them?
[16:00] <ew2> in c i mean
[16:00] <LjL> ew2: try asking in ##c
[16:01] <aaron11> saji_: Hello?
[16:01] <aaron11> saji_: Please be fast
[16:01] <GhotiPhud> decora: I'll try that
[16:01] <ew2> LjL,  i am not authed cant speak there
[16:01] <LjL> !register | ew2
[16:01] <ew2> but there is a ubuntu programming channel, what was the name of it again ?
[16:01] <LjL> ew2: alternatively, ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:01] <LjL> ew2: probably #ubuntu-programming
[16:01] <aaron11> !ot | ew2
[16:01] <usr13> Adam: If it is truly an iso or image file, yes you will need to mount via loopback in order to view their contents.
[16:01] <LjL> ew2: but your question doesn't really seem specific to Ubuntu
[16:01] <anteaya> Boohbah, I have Network Manager installed but running 'network-manager' gets me nothing, on my toolbars I have 'Network Proxy', 'Network' and 'Network Tools' but can't find 'Network Manager'
[16:01] <ido_> But why VirtualBox demands RAM allocation? for simultaneous running of 2 OS?
[16:02] <orm2> is there any oftopic chat on this server?
[16:02] <saji_> aaron11, I'm sorry but i'm trying as fast as i can.. If u r in a hurry pls ask someone else..
[16:02] <LjL> orm2: it's just been mentioned - twice :)
[16:02] <LjL> orm2: there's also #defocus
[16:02] <usr13> ido_: Yes, that is correct.
[16:02] <GhotiPhud> decora: wow, changing the block size seems to fix it... odd
[16:02] <Boohbah> anteaya: probably 'Network'. But I have to go. Good day! :)
[16:02] <decora> GhotiPhud: i think audio CDs might also confuse dd though... i dont have a cdrom or dvdrom so i am sorry i cannot help you any further
[16:02] <Enissay> How can I extract .001.xtm .002.xtm ....  files please?
[16:02] <anteaya> Boohbah, thanks for the help
[16:02] <Pici> !iso | Adam
[16:03] <GhotiPhud> decora: you've been a great help, thanks
[16:03] <aaron11> saji_: Ok
[16:03] <Adam> Pici; I know.. just wondering If I had to
[16:03] <zopiac> When I login and AWN starts up, the DockbarX plugin doesnt load. I have to disable and then re-enable it from the AWN Preferences window :\
[16:03] <ido_> Is there a simple way to install Windows as another boot in my ubuntu machine without formatting the whole deal?
[16:03] <usr13> !.xtm
[16:03] <decora> GhotiPhud: welcome
[16:04] <zopiac> Does someone know how to make DockbarX for AWN work correctly?
[16:04] <usr13> I think rar is used for .xtm
[16:04] <Pici> Adam: Well, if its a movie then just opening it with vlc will work, otherwise how else do you plan on getting the data?
[16:04] <usr13> unrar
[16:04] <Enissay> I'll see
[16:04] <om26er> how can i disable xsplash
[16:04] <cdavis> Is it possible to join whatever group handles Ubuntu bugs as testing or confirming bugs? I have no programming skills beyond shell scripts but would like to help the Community in some way.
[16:04] <Adam> Pici; vlc can't play blueray;/
[16:05] <aar> Hi, is it possible to send an e-mail with a modified "time" header?  E.g. I want my boss to think the report was submitted in time when he checks his e-mails tomorrow.
[16:05] <LjL> cdavis: ask in #ubuntu-bugs - they'll probably be able to point you to the right places
[16:05] <usr13> ido: dual boot
[16:05] <decora> ido_: buy a second hard disc.. unplug ubuntu disc.. install windows... replug ubuntu, install bootloader
[16:05] <usr13> ido_:  Partition the drive and make frespace enough for the MS Windows install.

[16:16] <decora> Bigshot_: your last message was just blank on my end...
[16:16] <Whitor> Hi. Its really annoying that my laptop screen dims after 30 seconds of not touching the keyboard or mouse (not the annoying part) and that when it comes out of this mode, it only brings the display up to 2/3 brightness... not the full brightness it was set to before it dimmed... anyway to fix this ?
[16:17] <Bigshot_> decora tx2 HP touchsmart tablet, 9.10
[16:17] <usr13> Whitor: Depending on the laptop, there should be a function key to brighten the screen.
[16:17] <audrius> nieko nesigauna, negaliu prisijungti prie vypres chat
[16:17] <usr13> Whitor: Function key combination that brightens screen.
[16:18] <Whitor> user__, yeah... But I have to rebrighent the screen like 50+ times a day!
[16:18] <magnetron> Whitor: sounds like an ACPI error for your particular laptop
[16:18] <bazhang> !lt | audrius
[16:18] <Whitor> re-brighten*
[16:18] <Whitor> magnetron, perhaps
[16:18] <Bigshot_> decora, you there bud?
[16:19] <oCean_> Whitor: same here, that is when on battery.. on a/c no problems. Haven't found a solution yet.
[16:19] <decora> Bigshot_: yup ... googling
[16:19] <magnetron> Whitor: the ACPI profiles requires different drivers for almost every different laptop on the market. each new version of the linux kernel adds ACPI profiles for different laptops but it's a hard job to keep up
[16:19] <zilla1> gparted is telling me that the boot partition on my main dirve is an empty 200MB partition on the front of the disk, not the logical partition that contains /boot. Grub boots from that extended partition, albeit *really* slowly.  how do i redirect it to boot from /boot?
[16:19] <IdleOne> bazhang: what is lt?
[16:19] <Whitor> oCean_, it does it for me while plugged in too :(     I'm glad to raed I'm not the only one

[16:20] <Adam> Is it possible to make ubuntu not wanting to boot my usb HDD .. its really annoying having to take it out everytime I want to boot the comp
[16:20] <tonsofpcs> Zilla: you need to boot from the first n of a HDD, that gets redirected to /boot at some point in the process
[16:20] <om26er> Adam: change boot order
[16:20] <tonsofpcs> ideally, you just put /boot at the head
[16:20] <oCean_> Whitor: it's like magnetron says, it's in the acpi profiles. The strange thing is, that on jaunty all was fine for me.
[16:20] <usr13> magnetron: It is booting from /boot
[16:20] <Whitor> magnetron, I've got a pretty popular make of laptop... It did work well previously ... this is a relatively new issue
[16:20] <zilla1> Adam, what do you mean? its an opton on the boot loader?
[16:20] <gadget3000> Adam: You need to change your bios settings
[16:20] <aaron11> Pici: It does not work
[16:20] <frybye> Hi just installed 9.10 and then the 64bit flash plugin from adobe and now when I go to installed the restricted extras package I not that it will also try and install flash - will it overwrite the x64 one I already have?
[16:20] <magnetron> Whitor: how new?
[16:20] <Whitor> oCean_, I'm on Jaunty now
[16:21] <Whitor> magnetron, a few weeks now ? ... hard to tell
[16:21] <zilla1> tonsofpcs, the first n? whats an n?
[16:21] <usr13> zilla1: but where /boot is on the drive should not effect the speed at which your PC boots all that much.
[16:21] <Whitor> magnetron, I think it came about after an update
[16:21] <magnetron> Whitor: probably after the latest kernel release
[16:21] <Pici> aaron11: What doesn't work?
[16:21] <tonsofpcs> zilla1: :s/n/foo/
[16:21] <decora> Bigshot_: heres a question.... can you do a 'restart'?
[16:21] <Whitor> Sounds about right magnetron
[16:22] <arvind> hi
[16:22] <Whitor> Thanks for the feedback folks
[16:22] <Whitor> arvind, hi
[16:22] <zilla1> usr13, its *really* odd. this is a 3500+ processor, but it boots incredibly slowly. 45 mins to get to login screen.
[16:22] <magnetron> zilla1: what kind of HDD do you have?
[16:22] <Bigshot_> decora Yes!

[16:22] <zilla1> i believe its a Western Digital
[16:23] <usr13> zilla1: Show us fdisk -l   or somehow tell us the partition scheme.

[16:23] <om26er> !enter | Zilla
[16:23] <Ddorda> when i installed karmic i couldn't connect WEP networks. is that fixed in the network manager PPA?
[16:23] <Bigshot_> decora, gnome shutdown
[16:23] <magnetron> Ddorda: network manager has supported WEP networks for years
[16:24] <usr13> !zillBut may be an entirely different issue that is causing such a slow boot. Not really sure...
[16:24] <MmikeDOMA> Does anyone know how to create Ubuntu-LiveCD on usb stick? I don't want persistent installation on the stick, just the plain old liveCD, just so I can boot it from the stick
[16:24] <Ddorda> magnetron: i know it does, but for some reason on karmic i couldn't connect WEP networks

[16:32] <alabd> pon dialup , is used for dial up connecting , how to configure it just f0r sending data ?
[16:32] <decora> Bigshot_: can you plug a USB keyboard into it? my idea is to switch to a text console, do the shutdown from there, see if it hangs on a specific shutdown command. you could even try killing X from there
[16:33] <con-man> magnetron there is no acroread package in medibuntu
[16:34] <Bigshot_> decora, thanks for you help man gtg

[16:37] <ActionParsnip> hey all
[16:37] <IdleOne> heya ActionParsnip
[16:39] <decora> got quiet...
[16:39] <usr13> zilla1: Wow, you have very complicated partitioning.  Would also need to see /etc/fstab  or get some idea what is where on your drives / partitions.
[16:39] <diddy> Are there any befefits of using the 64bit version of Ubuntu over the 32bit version besides having more RAM available?
[16:39] <zilla1> usr13, coming presently
[16:39] <pieces> I have an old Dell laptop and was wondering what version on ubuntu would be best to put on it. Netbook remix?
[16:40] <decora> pieces: how old ?
[16:40] <duckinator> Anyone know what makes oss want to be so dang loud? ._. it's at 0% and everything is loud enough to rattle my windows
[16:40] <Halitech> diddy, depends on what you do, some apps will fun faster on 64bit
[16:40] <usr13> pieces: what model?
[16:40] <duckinator> 1% nearly blew my speakers
[16:40] <diddy> Halitech, I do everything.
[16:40] <IdleOne> pieces: depends on model,ram....
[16:40] <usr13> duckinator: What is at 0%?
[16:41] <Halitech> diddy, like what? audio and video editing? playing games, browsing the web?
[16:41] <coz_> Halitech,  I am not sure you may want to go to the #oss channel
[16:41] <trijntje> pieces, netbook remix needs a fast graphics card, i would put xubuntu
[16:41] <pieces> Deccora: like 5 year old Dell. Don't hve the specs off hand I'll tru back later when I know more.
[16:41] <diddy> Halitech, OK. Let me rephrase it: Are there any disadvantages of using the 64bit version of Ubuntu over the 32bit version?
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> diddy: data changes are faster (encoding music, dvd authoring etc)
[16:41] <BluesKaj> Enissay,  the command for extracting with unp : unp filename
[16:41] <diddy> Halitech, yes.
[16:41] <om26er> diddy: no disadvantages
[16:41] <decora> netbook remix is not really much different ... and the netbook launcher actually is incredibly slow and unsuited for low power hardware (ie my eeepc 701)
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> diddy: you can install the PAE enabled desktop kernel to access more ram in 32bit
[16:41] <IdleOne> pieces: you can try xubuntu
[16:41] <Halitech> coz_, huh?
[16:41] <pieces> trijntje: Ok thanks.
[16:41] <duckinator> usr13: alsa >.> main volume..... mpd is at 75%... this is about as loud as 75% on main volume + 100% on mpd was when using pulse (which decided to just stop working)
[16:41] <coz_> Halitech,   there is a channle specifically dedicated to oss
[16:41] <CyL> Iǘe accidentely activated a zoom mode, how do I disable it?
[16:42] <coz_> Halitech,   where you type here  just type      /join #oss
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> decora: try lxde, its very light
[16:42] <Halitech> diddy, only disadvantage I've heard of is flash is sometimes flaky (no disadvantage for me, I don't do youtube)
[16:42] <CyL> I've accidentely activated a zoom mode, how do I disable it?
[16:42] <zilla1> usr13: fstab is http://paste.ubuntu.com/330396 gparted tells me /dev/sda1 is ntfs. fdisk says otherwise. that seemed odd
[16:42] <diddy> ActionParsnip, I am reinstalling Ubuntu after upgrading for the last couple of years. My CPU is 64bit capable so I am wondering whether I should go for it or not.
[16:42] <usr13> duckinator: What is PCM set at?
[16:42] <coz_> CyL,  in compiz?
[16:42] <om26er> decora: when you get two panel and window decoration in normal ubuntu install nothing much is left on the screen so ubuntu netbook edition makes the use of small netbook screen more useable
[16:42] <coz_> CyL,
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> diddy: may as well
[16:42] <CyL> coz_: yeah I guess compiz is eneabled
[16:42] <Halitech> coz_, I think you have the wrong person, I've never said anything about oss
[16:43] <duckinator> usr13: 0
[16:43] <coz_> Halitech,  sorry
[16:43] <coz_> CyL,   try the scroll wheel first
[16:43] <duckinator> usr13: PCM at 0, mpd's program-specific volume is at 75%
[16:43] <diddy> And all programs work well under Ubuntu 64bit?
[16:43] <anilalur> CyL: ctrl+scrollwhell
[16:43] <diddy> No exceptions?
[16:43] <coz_> CyL,   or   super+scroll wheel
[16:43] <duckinator> usr13: hm, odd, it's oss-specific :o didn't realize that before
[16:43] <om26er> diddy: except for the adobe flash AFAIK
[16:43] <_CommandeR_> diddy, just install them from synaptic or pakage manager so they install the correct version of it.
[16:44] <decora> ActionParsnip: on my eeepc 701 i just disabled the netbook remix launcher ... and use the normal ubuntu menu , its fine
[16:44] <diddy> OkropNick, thx
[16:44] <CyL> coz_: it solved, thanks... i got pretty lost with that...
[16:44] <diddy> OkropNick, thx
[16:44] <coz_> duckinator,   try going to the   #oss channel
[16:44] <coz_> duckinator,  if you are the one asking about oss that is :)
[16:44] <decora> but to install netbook remix on an old laptop in an effort to get some kind of performance boost? i dont think it will work very well.
[16:44] <duckinator> coz_: i am :P but i thought it was a general volume level failure at first
[16:45] <decora> netbooks are much faster than 5 year old laptops and probably have more RAM
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> decora: lxde is much lighter than gnome
[16:45] <om26er> decora: for performance boost install lubuntu-desktop
[16:45] <om26er> decora: lubuntu=lxde
[16:45] <coz_> duckinator,  since I am not real familiar with oss  stuff  my only suggestion is the #oss channel :)  unless we have an oss  guru here :)
[16:46] <duckinator> coz_: mmm, i'm looking for an oss-specific mixer..might work a bit nicer than alsamixer (iirc there's a software mixer somewhere down the line, and that could be way up)
[16:46] <coz_> duckinator,  mmm let me see if I can find one
[16:46] <duckinator> someone said umix, but i only see aumix...which is not cooperating :P
[16:47] <BluesKaj> duckinator, there's a gtk based gui mixer , but i've forgotten the name
[16:47] <asus> who like 2Pac?
[16:47] <marcelo> xorg.conf is not more used in ubuntu 9.10 ?
[16:47] <Halitech> marcelo, not by default but if you create one it will be used
[16:47] <Adam> Anyone good on XBMC? I just installed it. When I browse my external hdd I get "Error 2: share not available".. everything works fine but its really annoying
[16:47] <BluesKaj> marcelo, only if you generate it
[16:47] <zilla1> usr13: and here's the /etc/mtab. http://paste.ubuntu.com/330399 /dev/sda is the drive its supposed to (and is) booting from
[16:47] <coz_> duckinator,  there is gnome-alsamixer
[16:47] <duckinator> BluesKaj: aumix? :P i just realized there was aumix-gtk, which is a bit more cooperative than the cli one
[16:48] <Enissay> BluesKaj, finally it works with Xtremsplit, thanks mate for helping :)
[16:48] <BluesKaj> duckinator, could be , i just use vlc for media personally

[16:48] <duckinator> BluesKaj: i'm trying to set up mpd, i got it working but the volume nearly blew my smaller pair of speakers out when at 1%
[16:49] <LjL> usr13, it really would be better if you checked a factoid's existence before giving it in the channel
[16:49] <usr13> zilla1: http://www.hdsentinel.com/hdslin.php
[16:50] <usr13> LjL: Ok, thanks.
[16:50] <hateball> !audio
[16:50] <anilalur> Adam:  there was a patch released for that bug

[16:51] <BluesKaj> anyway time for my daily walk ...BBL
[16:51] <kfkk> how can I configure gnotify-osd ¿?
[16:51] <anilalur> Adam:  it was long back, It's weired that it's keep back !
[16:51] <duckinator> BluesKaj: yea, it's at like 1/5th on both sets of speakers (i have a set of 2" usb-powered speakers and a 200W stereo)
[16:51]  * om26er_ thinks !mp3 should just suggest to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
[16:52] <grawity> kfkk: I don't think notify-osd has any configuration at all.
[16:52] <kfkk> omg
[16:52] <kfkk> I've gnotify integrated with pidgin but when popup's appears I can't do nothing
[16:52] <zilla1> *installing*
[16:52] <kfkk> how can I fix this?
[16:53] <ajh> hi there
[16:53] <ajh> i need to pin point what dock application is running in a screenshot
[16:53] <usr13> zilla1: You should also look at dmesg for clues.
[16:53] <ajh> can anybody help me? :)
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> ajh: post a link
[16:53] <ajh> this is the link to the screenshot: http://beginlinux.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/turrican.png
[16:53] <linucss> f
[16:54] <LjL> ajh: docky, from gnome-do
[16:54] <zilla1> usr13, i'll look around, and be back if i come up with a concrete question. thanks  so much
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> ajh: my guess is either simdock or avant-window-navigator
[16:54] <ajh> Ljl: docky from the package gnome-do?
[16:54] <usr13> zilla1: sudo ./hdsentinel
[16:54] <kfkk> I've gnotify integrated with pidgin but when popup's appears I can't open a new conversation, how can I fix this?
[16:54] <anilalur> ajh: its gnome-do docky theme
[16:54] <ajh> ActionParsnip: its with no effects i think
[16:55] <poutine> kfkk, you do not pluralize with an apostrophe, the correct term is "popups" not "popup's"
[16:55] <ajh> thanks both :)
[16:55] <kfkk> -.-
[16:55] <usr13> zilla1: That will rule out a hard drive problem.
[16:55] <LjL> ajh: unless they've split it into two separate programs/packages, which i think they were going to.
[16:56] <ajh> Ljl: splitting the theme and the dock up in speperate packages?
[16:56] <guitar-maniac> got my ipod working.. but it boots itself when taking odd from my pc?
[16:56] <anilalur> LjL ajh it's still with gnome-do in 0.8.2
[16:56] <LjL> ajh: uh, the theme? neither gnome-do nor docky is a "theme"
[16:56] <guitar-maniac> off*
[16:56] <ajh> Ljl: docky is a dock then?
[16:57] <LjL> ajh: as the name hints... yes
[16:57] <dAlfa89_> guitar-maniac, unmounting it first?
[16:57] <ajh> Ljl: eh okay so gnome-do is just a package with the docky app?
[16:57] <guitar-maniac> dalfa89: i chose from banshee that eject my ipod?
[16:57] <anilalur> ajh: gnome-do is a application and docky is a new theme they added to it, which works as dock
[16:58] <LjL> ajh: no, gnome-do is a program starter, similar to Katapult by default but with a plugin architecture
[16:58] <LjL> ajh: why don't you type "apt-cache show gnome-do" and read the description?
[16:58] <dAlfa89_> Did it actually unmount? Was it still visible in Nautilus or such?
[16:58] <dAlfa89_> guitar-maniac, ^
[16:59] <guitar-maniac> dalha89, it isnt visible anymore, when i plug it off after it says its ok, it restarts and all data remowed. i choose the language etc
[16:59] <usr13> dAlfa89_: guitar-maniac You more-than-likely will have to move the file manager off of it before umounting
[17:00] <guitar-maniac> usr13; meaning the banshee? i just close that before or what.. im an noob..
[17:00] <usr13> guitar-maniac: Yes, close it or move it to home etc.
[17:01] <CyL> how do I list the cipher modes supported by cryptsetup?
[17:01] <xzibiz> need help deside what version to download to my ps3
[17:01] <usr13> guitar-maniac: Any application or file manager that is trying to access a device will hamper your ability to un-mount
[17:02] <duckinator> lmao... switching to the software mixer fixed everything ^^
[17:02] <guitar-maniac> usr13: nothing... still restarts. shuold i try to format it?
[17:02] <coz_> duckinator,  which software mixer was that?
[17:02] <usr13> guitar-maniac: restarts?  When?
[17:02] <usr13> guitar-maniac: Not sure what the issue really is...
[17:03] <duckinator> coz_: idk, i uncommented `mixer_type "software"` in mpd.conf
[17:03] <guitar-maniac> usr13: after i disconnect it from my pc. i choose the eject i pod option, then the ipod say, wait, and then when its done, i take it off, and then it just reboots itself
[17:03] <coz_> duckinator,  ah ok  probably now you can control it with alsamixer
[17:03] <slacker_nl> upstart jobs are supposed to stop/start by using service $package start/stop?
[17:03] <coz_> duckinator,  or gnome-alsamixer
[17:04] <usr13> guitar-maniac: That may be due to a power-cycle that occurs when unplugged.
[17:04] <guitar-maniac> usr13: how can i fix that then. any idea?
[17:05] <usr13> guitar-maniac: If the device is drawing power from the USB port's power output and then switches to it's internal battery, there will be power outage so-to-speak, (but I am only speculating)...
[17:05] <usr13> guitar-maniac: Is this when the battery is fully charged, or when it is very low, or...?
[17:06] <guitar-maniac> usr13: the battery is full right now..
[17:07] <xzibiz> what ubuntu version works best on a ps3 system ?
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> !ps3

[17:10] <hey_joe> they all still work, just none start at machine startup now
[17:10] <usr13> xzibiz: May be that support for ps3 is lagging...  There are other systems that make better platforms for Linux than ps3 (ps3 will be pretty limited in capabilities, etc).
[17:11] <hey_joe> is there a command like update-rc.d for all scripts?
[17:12] <linxeh> hey_joe: err ?
[17:12] <Lucider> help all my problems on linux is fixed and i cant find something to waste my time :)
[17:12] <guitar-maniac> gparted wont recognize my ipod..
[17:12] <lex_> guitar-maniac: any specific reason to use fat over another file system?
[17:12] <usr13> xzibiz: The ps3 has a powerful display adapter, but that is about it and I think I recall, the ps3 system had a great deal of it's display adapter capability locked out of the linux install.
[17:12] <utabak> hi all, I am using an external monitor with xrandr, along with my laptop, however from time to time, the laptop display dims and comes back again, dims out again after some time, I use xrandr1.3, btw before the karmic upgrade there was not a problem like this. any ideas?
[17:12] <Lucider> ok , i just wanna be a professonal c++ and python programmer can any one help me ???
[17:12] <hey_joe> linxeh, i dunno what that is..
[17:12] <guitar-maniac> lex_:well not really but ext2 wont seem to work so i though about FAT..
[17:12] <robin0800> Lucider: try songbird for problems!
[17:13] <Lucider> robin0800, hahhaaaa
[17:13] <lex_> guitar-maniac: is this for your ipod?
[17:13] <linxeh> hey_joe: it was a noise

[17:13] <Lucider> robin0800, i use rhythmbox happy

[17:13] <lex_> guitar-maniac: let me plug mine in quick
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> Lucider: try #c++ or #python
[17:13] <Lucider> ActionParsnip, ok
[17:13] <hey_joe> i thought it was uninstalling dkms or something that broke it

[17:14] <Manuelgop> hi
[17:14] <moldy> what is the proper way to remove a PPA from a system?

[17:14] <Manuelgop> i want to install kde from ubuntu 9.10, how can i do that?
[17:14] <moldy> i mean, i installed packages from a ppa, now i want to switch back to the official ubuntu packages again
[17:14] <usr13> guitar-maniac: change partition ID to b FAT32 and do mkdosfs on it.
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> moldy: you can use software sources or manually edit /etc/apt/sources.list and delete the lines(s) from the file, then run sudo apt-get update
[17:15] <IdleOne> Manuelgop: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[17:15] <usr13> guitar-maniac: But I am not sure that is what it is suppose to use.
[17:15] <agent42> utabak: i had similar problem in 9.04, this helped then https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/370773
[17:15] <moldy> ActionParsnip: when i do that, i get errors when trying to run dist-upgrade
[17:15] <hey_joe> Dr_Willis, so how do i get all my init.d scripts running again?
[17:15] <utabak> agent42: I am looking for an answer for days, I will see that thx
[17:16] <moldy> ActionParsnip: what i am looking for is how to tell apt to install the official packages again, not the ppa versions
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> moldy: can you give a pastebin of the command: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:16] <Gika> hello
 and with that command, i'm going to have gnome and kde?
[17:16] <IdleOne> Manuelgop: yes
[17:17] <Gika> anyone knows why nautilus says that i have 5 GB of free space while gparted says there's 16, in the same partition?
[17:17] <moldy> ActionParsnip: sure, one second..
