[04:14] <pepee> linux, try using the nvidia control panel
[04:15] <TomJ> OutCast: ubuntu comes with gnome by default, xubuntu has xfce by default
[04:15] <sinistrad> !xubuntu
[04:15] <linux> pepee: alright, let me grab it. Under synpatic as "nvidia-settings", right?
[04:15] <pepee> linux, no idea hehe
[04:15] <voss749> In 2002 gentoo got more site traffic than debian
[04:15] <hiexpo> eoeas,  - i i just don't need this ya know i am just trying to help people //// but not going to hold a hand I am a nice guy //// dometimes    lol
[04:16] <linux> pepee: lol I think it is. :D we'll see
[04:16] <pepee> linux, I'm just trying to know if it's a problem with the driver itself, or the config
[04:16] <eoeas> TomJ: Check: http://fluxbuntu.org/
[04:16] <OutCast> TomJ: i see only gnome, need to try xfce?
[04:17] <TomJ> OutCast: you don't need to try anything - gnome, xfce and KDE are different desktop systems.  try them all, use the one you like most
[04:17] <pepee> OutCast, apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ?
[04:17] <TomJ> eoeas: thanks, yeah fluxbox is the lightest of them all I guess
[04:17] <OutCast> TomJ: what of this systems more easy and powerfull?
[04:18] <hiexpo> i wish we still had our paros support
[04:18] <OutCast> pepee: i dont crazy=)
[04:18] <TomJ> OutCast: that's a matter of opinion. I believe KDE is the best system.  however, KDE 4 is a huge resource-hogging dog in my view. so maybe not any more.  ask three people and you'll get hree different answers to this question. you just need to see what you like yourself
[04:18] <mdg2> crazygir: http://www.craigmayhew.com/blog/2009/11/setting-up-vpn-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/
[04:19] <ZykoticK9> eoeas, TomJ Fluxbuntu is WAY outdated.  I'd suggest, if you are interested in fluxbox, just install it with a minimal cd or something
[04:19] <TomJ> OutCast: I would say that KDE 4 is probably the prettiest system.. it has all the desktop effects, swirly windows etc, and I think gnome has less of that.  so that's one factor, if you like that sort of stuff
[04:19] <eoeas> hiexpo: Be patient and think back how you where when you started, I just had a guy totally new to linux, wanted to start off learning by configuring his wireless card, told him it was too difficult to start of with.
[04:19] <TomJ> ZykoticK9: ok thanks.  actually outdated doesnt matter in my case, it's for my mum - it just needs to work and be fast and be easy.  i'm going to set it to auto-run firefox on startup, and then she'll probably never use any other app ever
[04:20] <eoeas> ZykoticK9: TomJ: True
[04:20] <linux> pepee: I think Compiz is just blacklisting the card. I changed up some of the settings and now the screen looks *super sharp and clear.
[04:20] <linux> pepee: In the end, I think the card works. :D
[04:20] <casemods> when I start up ubuntu it says "repair shell started" or soemthing - what is this? I'm trying to have it for my dad....
[04:20] <OutCast> TomJ: ok, i have 1.5Gb of RAM and 1-core 2Ghz processor, 2xGF6600 video. what you recommend me? what system be a faster on this comp?
[04:20] <pepee> linux, yup, the module is loaded
[04:20] <linux> pepee: sweet.   KDE 4, I dont know.. my laptop has 256mb 9300 nvidia graphics, 4GB ram, and core 2 duo 2.5ghz -  KDE 3.5 is smooth as silk,  KDE 4 chugs sometimes
[04:21] <xangua> OutCast: faster would be a desktop enviroment like xfce, lxde, fluxbox¿¿ well this last one is not a dektop enviroment
[04:21] <TomJ> OutCast: I would say on your system that all desktops will run very smoothly for sure, except maybe KDE 4 that might chug a bit, unless you turn off some of the fancy effects
[04:22] <voss749> tomj, go with xfce
[04:22] <TomJ> voss749: for being quick and easy to use?
[04:22] <binary0011> omg dude I'm so screwed...
[04:22] <voss749> yeah its a minimalist gui
[04:23] <sinistrad> should I use apt-get or aptitude for dist-upgrade?
[04:23] <mdg2> crazygir: was my link any help?
[04:23] <casemods> what is a maintenance shell and how can i disable it on startup?
[04:23] <eoeas> TomJ: Just tell her about lynx and leave her to the terminal, ya can't go lighter than that :p
[04:23] <pepee> sinistrad, aptitude is better IMO
[04:23] <linux> lol! Yes, compiz has blacklisted this particular pci-id. Which is weird, considering they only list Intel and ATi card. Anyway, "linux@linux-desktop:~$ sudo SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz
[04:23] <linux> Blacklisted PCI ID 8086:2562 detected
[04:23] <linux> Launching fallback window manager"
[04:23] <TomJ> yeah I think I'll start with that.  the prime objective is for it just to be quick and responsive.. my mum's laptop is horrendously slow on XP, and I'm still not quite sure why. it has 2.4ghz, it's a Celeron, but I didnt realise they were quite *that* bad. but apparently they are
[04:24] <TomJ> eoeas: hahaha, yeah.. actually, she still hasn't quite got hte concept of windows and how to maximise them, so perhaps a non-windowed system would work :)
[04:24] <OutCast> TomJ: now i have problem to conf SLI on linux:( drivers dont have a need mode
[04:24] <crazygir> mdg2: indeed, there is a lot of good connection info, I was actually looking for that to be able to setup a manual connection in openbsd
[04:24] <sinistrad> pepee, I've heard that as well recently. I've been reading posts(which are usually outdated) that said ubuntu preferred apt-get, but I've heard in here mostly aptitude for updates, but wasn't sure about dist-upgrades.
[04:24] <eoeas> TomJ: lol
[04:24] <crazygir> I hadn't really looked yet, so thank you!
[04:25] <hiexpo> eoeas,  - its like my ole buddy came here last night pure_hate and was helping people they treated him like sh//////  because of his nic   and he is with it
[04:25] <fike2903> hey
[04:25] <crazygir> sinistrad: the number of tools to do something like that scares me
[04:25] <crazygir> makes me trust all of them less
[04:25] <linux> pepee/hiexpo: Well, besides the simple fact I can't run compiz, it should still work with my 3D games, right?
[04:25] <TomJ> hiexpo: they were mean to him because of his network card?  that's harsh
[04:25] <casemods> what is a maintenance shell and how can i disable it on startup?
[04:26] <pepee> linux, yeah, I suppose. just try
[04:26] <fike2903> why is Linux Free??
[04:26] <sinistrad> crazygir, True, but I'm doing this update remotely
[04:26] <TomJ> fike2903: you're complaining?
[04:26] <F1skr> hello i am following this guide: http://source.android.com/download#TOC-Installing-Repo
[04:26] <F1skr> i have come to a problem around step 2. run repo init to bring ....
[04:26] <xangua> fike2903: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software
[04:26] <fike2903> no im not complaning
[04:26] <F1skr> when i run the command, my system doesn't know the repo command what could be the problem?
[04:26] <fike2903> just wondering
[04:27] <xangua> fike2903: free as in freedom, NOT as in free beet
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> casemods, you're getting dropped to maintenance shell for some reason - most likely cause is a file system check needs to be manually run.
[04:27] <hiexpo> TomJ,  - let me tell ya he made backtrack
[04:27] <F1skr> i have the bin directory and the repo inside statet in the steps above.
[04:27] <xangua> beer*
[04:27] <fike2903> freedom isnt free
[04:27] <TomJ> xangua: well, it's also free as in beer
[04:27] <pepee> casemods, tha one you get after booting?
[04:27] <IdleOne> hiexpo: may I message you?
[04:27] <pepee> *the
[04:27] <hiexpo> sure
[04:27] <cellofellow> where does Nautilus store its extended file attributes?
[04:28] <casemods> @pepee it happens when I load ubuntu
[04:28] <TomJ> and actually it's not completely free as in freedom.. you can't do what you like to it.  GPL is one of the more restrictive licenses in that sense. BSD is 'more' free, in that there are fewer restrictions on what you can do with it
[04:28] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  - sure
[04:28] <eoeas> TomJ: You're a funny character, don't wind the guy up :-D
[04:28] <xangua> TomJ: not necessary or forcibly
[04:28] <casemods> @ZykoticK9 how can i disable it from happening?
[04:28] <pepee> casemods, what do you mean by "load ubuntu"?
[04:29] <pepee> after grub?
[04:29] <casemods> @pepee when I boot the system
[04:29] <casemods> I believe so - new to linux
[04:29] <eatloaf> Hi.  My external drive periodically goes Read Only.  How can I find out what's wrong?
[04:29] <pepee> casemods, well, you have a problem with an app
[04:29] <cellofellow> Nautilus file attributes anybody? Emblems, directory settings, that sort of thing? Where are they stored?
[04:30] <cellofellow> I looked in gconf and ~/.gnome2
[04:30] <pepee> casemods, can you log into gnome after that?
[04:30] <usr13> cellofellow: What are you trying to do?
[04:30] <OutCast> anybody plays Q3 Arena?
[04:30] <cellofellow> usr13: just trying to understand nautilus, and want to hack the attributes manually to tweak some things.
[04:31] <TomJ> eoeas: who? :) hiexpo?
[04:31] <pepee> OutCast, try #games
[04:31] <usr13> eatloaf: Do you have a fastab entry for it?  Or is it being mounted as needed by udev?
[04:31] <ZykoticK9> OutCast, yes - i do
[04:31] <OutCast> #games
[04:31] <eoeas> TomJ: Yeah him :)
[04:31] <eatloaf> there's an fstab entry.
[04:31] <TomJ> eoeas :)
[04:31] <ZykoticK9> OutCast, no sound?
[04:31] <OutCast> pepee: how?
[04:31] <eoeas> fike2903: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[04:31] <pepee> ohh sorry, that channel doesn't exists lol
[04:31] <OutCast> ZykoticK9: i have sound. i fix this
[04:31] <casemods> @pepee it says "hit control D to cancel" or something and I can type things...not sure what else to do ha
[04:31] <usr13> cellofellow: Well, I'll leave someone else to coach you.  I'm not a nautilus expert.
[04:31] <ZykoticK9> OutCast, what is your question?
[04:32] <mdg2> night all!
[04:32] <mdg2> o/
[04:32] <pepee> casemods, ubuntu version?
[04:32] <usr13> eatloaf: pastebin it and let us have a look.
[04:32] <OutCast> ZykoticK9: ping is my problem
[04:32] <eoeas> TomJ: He's really upset cause his buddy got dissed
[04:32] <casemods> 9.10
[04:32] <TomJ> eoeas: bless
[04:32] <ZykoticK9> OutCast, can't help with that sorry.  Good luck man.
[04:32] <pepee> casemods, do you have wired connection?
[04:32] <OutCast> ZykoticK9: on windows i have ~60, ubuntu ~270
[04:32] <pepee> casemods, i'll explain it latter...
[04:33] <eoeas> TomJ: :-D
[04:33] <casemods> pepee im not hooked up to the internet
[04:34] <casemods> on the linux box
[04:34] <SilverFox> when I connect to my webserver (apache2) locally (via ssh tunnel), its really fast, but off net, its really slow.  Any ideas why?
[04:34] <OutCast> pepee: "#games" is out
[04:34] <pepee> casemods, yeah, I know... but it can be connected?
[04:35] <casemods> yes i have wired when I need it
[04:35] <SilverFox> could it be ufw?
[04:35] <OutCast> what is "wired"?
[04:35] <pepee> casemods, anyway, you are in the command line?
[04:36] <eatloaf> usr13: it's the last entry: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/SVYaxFYU
[04:36] <casemods> yes, i believe so
[04:36] <Guegs> How do I start SSHD in Ubuntu?
[04:36] <ohodi> my computer wont load any "https://" pages, on any browser. Can anyone helpa?
[04:36] <pepee> casemods, ok, execute this: mount -o remount,rw /
[04:36] <Losha> OutCast: it means ethernet using a cable...
[04:36] <thiemster> Guegs: I'm not exactly sure but possibly run "/etc/rc.d/sshd start"
[04:37] <thiemster> Guegs: That's what it is on arch linux. and I'm guessing it's the same or about the same on ubuntu
[04:37] <casemods> ok im gonna try it brb
[04:37] <eatloaf> Guegs, thiemster: "service ssh start" ?
[04:37] <Izinucs> Guegs: sudo service ssh start or possibly sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[04:37] <Losha> Guegs: if you sucessfully installed sshd, it should be already running....
[04:37] <thiemster> eatloaf: that could work too
[04:37] <pepee> casemods, after that, you have to upgrade your system
[04:37] <OutCast> Losha: thx)
[04:37] <thiemster> eatloaf: but probably with sudo or running as root
[04:37] <eatloaf> roit
[04:37] <casemods> pepee how do I upgrade?
[04:38] <MrAlexandro> Lamah Detector Activated!!
[04:38] <MrAlexandro> Searching.......
[04:38] <MrAlexandro> Searching......
[04:38] <MrAlexandro> Lamah Found !!!
[04:38] <OutCast> Losha: in english i not completely god)
[04:38] <FloodBot1> MrAlexandro: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:38] <MrAlexandro> Lamah Detector Powering Down
[04:38] <Losha> OutCast: you're doing fine...
[04:38] <pepee> sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
[04:38] <Alcor> ohodi can you still receive/send email?
[04:38] <MrAlexandro> what is wrong with this irc client
[04:38] <ohodi> Alcor, using what method?
[04:39] <ZykoticK9> MrAlexandro, do you have an Ubuntu support question?
[04:39] <Guegs> Figured it out I think. Thanks guys! :)
[04:39] <Alcor> ohodi Are u using ubuntu?
[04:39] <MrAlexandro> ZykoticK9 no, i am talking to myself i think:)
[04:39] <thiemster> MrAlexandro: what irc client is it?
[04:39] <pepee>  casemods , do you know how to upgrade to lucid?
[04:39] <ohodi> Alcor, yes
[04:39] <usr13> eatloaf: Those last four characters are jammed together, ro03  and the 3 should be a 1 or 0 I think  ro  0  0  -or  -ro  0  1
[04:39] <OutCast> i install "YouTranslate!" i think its help me)
[04:39] <usr13> Thats one thing...
[04:40] <ZykoticK9> MrAlexandro, feel free to chat to yourself in #ubuntu-offtopic - but this is the support channel only
[04:40] <MrAlexandro> thiemster vortec irc. i am wuiting it anyway now. it is way wrong for me, ZykoticK9 i know i was not planning on this replies :D
[04:40] <Alcor> ohodi Did you set up evolution?
[04:40] <ohodi> Alcor, no
[04:40] <thiemster> MrAlexandro: you could try with another one. XChat is very good
[04:40] <usr13> eatloaf: You need to have spaces between the fields.
[04:41] <Alcor> ohodi do you have anything else?
[04:41] <antonio_> hey
[04:41] <mozillanerd> I have abandoned my effort with 9.10 Karmic Koala - back on 9.04, and  it looks swell and fast.
[04:41] <hiexpo> !hey
[04:41] <ohodi> Alcor, my browser
[04:41] <antonio_> hey losha:
[04:41] <eatloaf> usr13: what's a 3 in the last spot?
[04:41] <Losha> antonio_: hi there...
[04:41] <thiemster> mozillanerd: you could try lucid in two days. it's supposed to be even faster and better
[04:41] <antonio_> so I used the split command earlier to split some files up, now I need to remerge them...
[04:41] <antonio_> losha: its me mylisto :D
[04:42] <eoeas> thiemster: Why faster?
[04:42] <pepee> mozillanerd, try lucid
[04:42] <eatloaf> usr13: in nano they're tabs. it's just 'cat' that slammed them together
[04:42] <hiexpo> Losha,  - hello :)
[04:42] <Alcor> ohodi Goto System -- admin -- network tools
[04:42] <thiemster> eoeas: I dunno, that's just what I've heard on the interwebz
[04:42] <Losha> antonio_: I remember the split command. Are you ready to recreate the file?
[04:42] <Losha> hiexpo: hi
[04:42] <antonio_> losha: you mind telling me how to remerge those files?
[04:42] <antonio_> oh yeah :D
[04:42] <eoeas> thiemster: I see
[04:42] <ohodi> Alcor, ok what next
[04:43] <eatloaf> I'm guessing that's it remouting because of errors, but how do i find the errors or figure out why they're happening.
[04:43] <Alcor> ohodi ping yahoo.com
[04:43] <mozillanerd> pepee: I have, it had the same slowness as 9.10. Sorry.
[04:43] <OutCast> YouTranslate! is bad. i go to find and install new translator
[04:43] <Losha> antonio_: ok, just a minute...
[04:43] <OutCast> our recommendation??
[04:43] <pepee> mozillanerd, try xubuntu lucid...
[04:43] <thiemster> mozillanerd: well, if you like 9.04 stay with it. at least until it's not supported any more
[04:43] <ohodi> Alcor, "the address www.yahoo.com cant be found"
[04:43] <mozillanerd> pepee: xbuntu? Please explain
[04:43] <nphase> having yet another installation step thats failed, "select and install software" this time
[04:44] <Alcor> ohodi try msn.com
[04:44] <thiemster> mozillanerd: or you could try lubuntu. LXDE is very, very fast.... at least on my computer.  (v.  96) thanks for suggestions
[04:46] <gp5st> how do i get the pin i used to pair a phone with my computer?
[04:46] <hiexpo> :)
[04:47] <Izinucs> gp5st: try 0000
[04:47] <eoeas> hiexpo: Forgiven :)
[04:47] <Alcor> ohodi have y another computer on your router?
[04:47] <DingGGu> how to upgrade ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
[04:47] <ZykoticK9> thiemster, xfce doesn't use a whole lot less RAM though - see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_desktop_vitals&num=1 for comparison of Gnome,Xfce,KDE,Lxde
[04:47] <Alcor> you
[04:47] <voss749> KDE is the fancy gui, Gnome the regular gui, Xfce the lean gui, and Lxde the skinny gui
[04:47] <DingGGu> i'm ubuntu 10.04 beta2
[04:47] <Losha> OutCast: jerk -> someone who behaves badly...
[04:47] <ohodi> Alcor, yes
[04:47] <thiemster> mozillanerd: just take note if you decide to stick with 9.04 for the time being: it is only officially supported for 18 months (I'm pretty sure) so you'd be a fool to use it past then when there aren't security updates
[04:47] <rww> DingGGu: Lucid/10.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here
[04:47] <OutCast> Losha: thx
[04:47] <Alcor> ohodi can u reach the internet from there?
[04:47] <DingGGu> thanks :)
[04:48] <ohodi> Alcor, let me try
[04:48] <Alcor> k
[04:48] <ohodi> Alcor, brb
[04:48] <thiemster> ZykoticK9: my bad. I had always heard that it was and it seemed much faster on my computer. But I use awesomewm now and that probably uses a tenth the memory of either
[04:48] <Alcor> k
[04:48] <gp5st> Izinucs: when i paired it a few mins ago it gave me some random number 3375... and i'm setting up gammu and i thought that was the pin i needed?
[04:48] <Conley_> Does anyone here have Hulu Desktop installed?
[04:48] <mozillanerd> voss749: I am thinking of installing LXFE WM on OLPC XO
[04:48] <nphase> is there a netinstall version of ubuntu server install
[04:48] <thiemster> voss749: you're forgetting a bunch
[04:48] <thiemster> voss749: such as the *boxes
[04:48] <Izinucs> gp5st: maybe.. it was just a guess on my part
[04:48] <Losha> hiexpo: it takes a big person to say they're sorry. Props to you...
[04:48] <ZykoticK9> thiemster, it wasn't really "your bad", your statement was correct, i just wanted to point out that it's not a huge difference :)
[04:49] <azlon> i am creating a raid right now. i think it has a problem. it says: [8/7] [UUUUUUU_]    what does that mean?
[04:49] <thiemster> ZykoticK9: not my bad then
[04:49] <voss749> thie, not really I just dont care about them ;-)
[04:49] <ohodi> Alcor, yes works just fine
[04:49] <hiexpo> :)
[04:50] <thiemster> voss749: I'm just saying: you're saying lxde is "the skinny one" but this is only compared to the others that are mentioned. I use awesomewm (it truly is awesome) which is much "skinnier" than lxde
[04:50] <Alcor> ohodi power cycle the router
[04:50] <Alcor> ohodi may take a few mins
[04:50] <ohodi> Alcor, that could take a while. how long will you be here?
[04:50] <Conley_> Okay, would ~/.huludesktop be /home/conley/.huludesktop?
[04:50] <Alcor> ohodi i'll wait
[04:50] <thiemster> Conley_: yes
[04:51] <eoeas> thiemster: awesomewm looks like Xmonad
[04:51] <Conley_> thiemster: okay, cool
[04:51] <ohodi> ok brb 7 minutes
[04:51] <thiemster> eoeas: it is. but it's more like dwm, as it's based off of it. but they're all tiling
[04:51] <voss749> thie, there is no proposed official distro for awesomewm like lubuntu for lxde
[04:51] <OutCast> Losha: "if it is possible to understand these words and their sense it is not disrupted, then this translator precisely that I searched for"
[04:51] <ohodi> that ok?
[04:51] <hiexpo> i m just an ale hack someday i'll be somebody
[04:51] <thiemster> voss749: I know... just sayin... I guess I didn't realize you meant just with the officially supported desktop environments of the *buntus
[04:52] <OutCast> Losha: its understandable?
[04:52] <hiexpo> :)=
[04:52] <ohodi> Alcor, that ok?
[04:52] <Conley_> Does anyone here have Hulu Desktop?
[04:52] <voss749> awesomewm looks like amigaos from 1997 :)
[04:52] <Izinucs> OutCast: translators translate "correct language" not colloqial language.
[04:52] <Alcor> ohodi can u browse?
[04:52] <Losha> OutCast: yes, it's understandable, but not great. There's also #ubuntu-ru
[04:53] <thiemster> voss749: true, it does look quite retro. but that's why I like it ;)
[04:53] <xangua> !anyone > Conley_
[04:53] <antonio_> losha: let me know when you are ready
[04:53] <voss749> thie, yeah if I want retro ill go back to geos ;-)
[04:53] <ohodi> Alcor, yes everything but https:// websites
[04:53] <OutCast> Losha: #ubuntu-ru have a 60 peoples and no chat at all
[04:53] <thiemster> voss749: good thing it isn't the default in ubuntu. I think having to use a tiling window manager such as awesomewm would turn off any perspective linux users
[04:53] <Losha> antonio_: I just hung up the phone. Let's get to it. You have 3 files, right: xaa, xab and xac ?
[04:53] <antonio_> yeppers
[04:53] <hiexpo> brb
[04:53] <Alcor> ohodi everything?
[04:54] <voss749> thie, yeah it be like ubuntu 3.2 edition hehe
[04:54] <voss749> 3.1
[04:54] <thiemster> voss749: haha probably. before that even. it's more like something that would come out in the early 90s
[04:54] <voss749> Ubuntu 95 hehe
[04:54] <ohodi> Alcor, I can only not reach httpS:// websites. note the "S"
[04:54] <Losha> OutCast: well, your English seems better than the translator...
[04:54] <Conley_> Okay, what does it say inside /home/username/.huludesktop, for someone that has it installed
[04:54] <voss749> Ubuntu 95 is xfce ;)
[04:54] <OutCast> Losha: but some words i dont know
[04:55] <thiemster> voss749: but once I got used to it (took a day or two and a LOT of online help), it is very, very useful because it's completely powered by keyboard shortcuts
[04:55] <Losha> OutCast: it's ok to ask when you don't know. Practice makes perfect...
[04:55] <felon> what is the command for listing all processes being ran
[04:55] <rww> felon: ps -A
[04:55] <thiemster> felon:top
[04:55] <ohodi> Alcor,  hello?
[04:55] <thiemster> felon: or install htop which is a lot better (sudo apt-get install htop)
[04:55] <Losha> felon: I like ps ax because it shows detached processes too...
[04:56] <felon> i was just reading about the apt feature
[04:56] <Alcor> ohodi can you search and hit ubuntu?
[04:56] <thiemster> voss749: haha. makes sense. ish.
[04:56] <Losha> antonio_: ?
[04:56] <antonio_> yeah
[04:56] <thiemster> felon:the apt feature is probably one of the best in debian/ubuntu
[04:56] <antonio_> sorry was opening terminal
[04:56] <thiemster> felon:it's just so simple
[04:56] <felon> why use apt - get when theres software center
[04:56] <plum-mobile> Hello, can anyone help me fix my problem? My new ubuntu install says Bootmgr is Missing..
[04:56] <ohodi> Alcor, yes
[04:57] <Losha> antonio_: where do you want to put the recreated file?
[04:57] <Izinucs> felon: it's faster
[04:57] <felon> oh
[04:57] <ohodi> Alcor, yes i can hit ubuntu.com
[04:57] <antonio_> in .virtualbox in my new home holder
[04:57] <ohodi> i mean ubuntu.org
[04:57] <antonio_> folder
[04:57] <Conley_> plum-mobile: reinstall and make sure you install grub?
[04:57] <thiemster> felon: it's easier if you already know what you're looking for. suppose you want to install a program, htop for example. You just need to type in "sudo apt-get install htop" and it will install. with the software center, you need to look through a lot of menus first
[04:57] <tushar> guys my wireless is not working in lucid, was working in karmic
[04:57] <Losha> antonio_: I mean, what is the full pathname for the file you want to recreate?
[04:57] <azlon> i need some help with a software raid. this is my cat /proc/mdstat http://www.pastebin.org/181691
[04:57] <felon> i c
[04:57] <Alcor> ohodi try the http addrs for ubunto.com
[04:57] <thiemster> voss749: haha fair enough
[04:58] <antonio_> losha: mind if I pm you, too much text flying by
[04:58] <tushar> help! wireless not working in lucid
[04:58] <azlon> i think i drive is failed but it doesnt say which drive failed... how can i find out what is wrong?
[04:58] <Losha> antonio_: ok
[04:58] <ohodi> Alcor, it works. i mentioned that.:)
[04:58] <thiemster> felon: but, for new users (such as I presume you are), the software center is very nice
[04:58] <riverofnuts> how do i get ubuntu to work on my laptop
[04:58] <riverofnuts> it wont connect to my wifi
[04:58] <thiemster> felon: just know that it isn't the only method of installing/removing software
[04:58] <xangua> riverofnuts: what wireless card do you use¿
[04:59] <Luyza> I'm trying to get pressure sensitivity to work on wacom and Now I'm on GIMP, and the wiki says "All the values have to be the same as in the picture" https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Screenshot-Gimp_Input.png      But I don't see "Stylus"! What can I do?
[04:59] <riverofnuts> broadcom
[04:59] <riverofnuts> its an old laptop
[04:59] <riverofnuts> it wont auto install my wifi driver..
[04:59] <riverofnuts> i can only connect to the internet via an ethernet cable
[04:59] <Alcor> ohodi dont do the search, do the http addrs thing at the top of the broweser
[04:59] <riverofnuts> compaq presario v3131tu to be exact
[04:59] <ohodi> Alcor, that works too
[04:59] <plum-mobile> Conley_: so from grub how do I reinstall it? I just did sudo apt-get install grub...
[05:00] <Guest42045> where can i get a nice simple .deb for tightvnc?
[05:00] <Alcor> ohodi r u back on the wifi system?
[05:00] <tushar> my laptop is compaq presario cq40. WIRELESS NOT WORKING HELP!
[05:00] <Guest42045> tushar, fresh install?
[05:00] <tushar> Guest42045: wow! isn't there any other way
[05:01] <felon> yes, but im trying to learn some command line, id really like to know. comparing the usr/bin to windows/programfiles, like is that a good compare, lets say i want to download something that aint in the apt or software center
[05:01] <ohodi> Alcor, I haven't power cycled my router yet. it will take around 7 minutes at least. i was trying to ask you if you were ok with that.
[05:01] <thiemster> voss749: perhaps that's what I like about it. it doesn't have any of the bloat that modern systems have and I have a fairly old (2002ish) computer
[05:01] <felon> where would i install it after i get it ..?
[05:01] <Guest42045> tushar, no, is it a fresh install?
[05:01] <thiemster> voss749: but luckily it has a whole 512MB of ram. a lot for then
[05:01] <Guest42045> tushar, im asking,
[05:01] <Alcor> ohodi i said i will wait
[05:01] <ohodi> Alcor, ok going to do that now
[05:01] <thiemster> felon: I'm pretty sure you could install it to /opt
[05:01] <Izinucs> Guest42045: vinagre is vnc.. sudo apt-get install vinagre .. might be already installed
[05:01] <thiemster> felon: but don't quote me on that
[05:02] <Jordan_U> !filesystem | felon
[05:02] <Guest42045> Izinucs, is that as good as tightvnc?
[05:02] <Alcor> ohodi k
[05:02] <Losha> felon: yes, /usr/bin is like Windows/Program Files. Where you put things depends. What are you trying to install?
[05:02] <thiemster> felon: but for most (not 100%, but most programs that you will need) programs, the repositories will have them
[05:02] <tushar> Guest42045: no, i upgraded from karmic.
[05:02] <azlon> how can i tell which drive in my RAID is bad? http://www.pastebin.org/181691
[05:02] <Izinucs> Guest42045: look in synaptic for tight vnc.. it's also there.
[05:02] <felon> i know i can install anywhere, but i guess im trying to say aint usr/bin equivlent to windows/programs ... where programs would be installed ?
[05:02] <plum-mobile> How can I install grub to my hard drive? I don't know what hd number it is (hd0,0) etc
[05:02] <tushar> Guest42045: it was working in karmic.
[05:02] <felon> thx Losha
[05:02] <Guest42045> tushar perhaps in #ubuntu+1 they would know
[05:02] <Izinucs> felon: yes .. sort of
[05:03] <sinistrad> felon, /usr/bin/ is normally in the "path" in windows terms
[05:03] <tushar> Guest42045: ok
[05:03] <thiemster> gotta go everyone
[05:03] <thiemster> see you.... sometime... else?
[05:03] <voss749> izinucs, Apt-get install viagra?
[05:03] <sinistrad> felon, so things placed in there are available to the command-line from most anywhere
[05:03] <felon> yes thx for clarifying that guyz thx.
[05:03] <draccy> Hey folks. Sound has suddenly disappeared in this Ubuntu Karmic install. Tried three different sound cards, all of which appear in the software to be working properly. Tried multiple sets of speakers, alsamixer, pulseaudio controls, etc.
[05:03] <Izinucs> voss749: vinagre
[05:03] <draccy> It acts like sound is working, the hardware appears to be working, but I get no sound. Volume is cranked, of course.
[05:03] <StrangeCharm> how can i force 9.10 always to dial a vpn connection when signing onto a wifi network?
[05:03] <Jordan_U> plum-mobile: You don't pass (hdx,x) values to grub-install, just "grub-install /dev/sda" (if you want to install to sda)
[05:04] <Guest42045> Izinucs, i feel dumb. good tip, looking in synaptic lol'
[05:04] <Guest42045> Izinucs, except, where is it? I installed from synaptic...
[05:05] <itilious> how do i keep a bash script running in the background
[05:05] <felon> ubuntu is sexy
[05:05] <itilious> i think its  a "bash" script but i'm a noob ;)
[05:05] <sinistrad> felon, also, if you compile stuff, what you compile will often have an installer that you run after you "make" it, and that will put things in place if you plan on making it system-wide, or if you only want it to be used by your user account only, you can place your created binaries into wherever in your /home dir
[05:05] <Izinucs> Guest42045: typically shows up in Applications>Internet>terminal server client
[05:05] <felon> yep
[05:05] <felon> for instance .... i umm
[05:06] <Guest42045> Izinucs, wait, terminal server client is tightvnc?
[05:06] <felon> downloaded/ iroffer from site instead of using software center
[05:06] <Guest42045> Izinucs, i had that before I installed....
[05:06] <Izinucs> Guest42045: yep.. If I remember correctly.. it's been a while since I used it.
[05:06] <RickZilla> I seem to have lost a couple of iconsright next to the time and date in the top right hand corner of my screen, not sure where they went, and I can't seem to get them back with the Add to Panel menu...specifically I lost my power and wireless signal icons...where else can I go to get those back?
[05:06] <felon> ./configured make and mak'd install
[05:06] <StrangeCharm> i'm on 9.10. i don't want to access the 'net without using a vpn. how can require a vpn to be dialed whenever there's a network connection, and automatically redial it if it's dropped?
[05:06] <felon> then did the config file
[05:06] <SvendJolly> Hello folks. I have just installed ubuntu for the first time about six hours ago. I am really confused :) The problem concerns Surround sound, i can't get it working. Only Stereo. I have googled, read and tried over and over all night (morning here now), so i suppose i need some help now.
[05:06] <Guest42045> Izinucs, how do i get it to lauch as a server automaticlly on each boot
[05:07] <Jordan_U> plum-mobile: First of all, if you are getting the error that Bootmgr is missing it's window's bootloader that is broken, not grub.
[05:07] <Losha> felon: that will work, but it's not the best way to install software. Much better to use a repository version if one is available...
[05:07] <Guest42045> SvendJolly, have you played with the check boxes in pulseaudio?
[05:07] <Izinucs> Guest42045: System>Preferences>Remote Desktop
[05:07] <Jordan_U> StrangeCharm: Set up the VPN in System > Preferences > Network Connections
[05:07] <sinistrad> felon, yep, you'll often ./configure, make, sudo make install. Losha is right, if the same software is in the repositories, it is the easiest way to get it
[05:08] <ZykoticK9> !checkinstall
[05:08] <Guest42045> Izinucs, i was told to use tightvnc instead of that cause its better?
[05:08] <Losha> SvendJolly: sound is a notorious trouble spot in Ubuntu. You're actually quite lucky you've got Stereo first time round...
[05:08] <Izinucs> Guest42045: it's a nominal difference..
[05:08] <draccy> See, this is why I'd love it if some channel management decided to split this channel into two or three branches. Sure, everyone can help everyone here, but look at the nicklist! It goes on forever. The 'help' flies by so fast that it's a miracle to behold if you actually get noticed.
[05:08] <StrangeCharm> Jordan_U, that will allow me to connect manually. i would like an automatic connection
[05:08] <sinistrad> felon, what ubottu said
[05:08] <Guest42045> Izinucs, ok. so how do i get it to run on boot?
[05:08] <felon> regardless with programs like iroffer that runs in a bg, repositories dont make and "install" for you right ?
[05:09] <Izinucs> draccy: that's why you use a person's nick when you talk to them so the line highlights
[05:09] <itilious> winehq
[05:09] <Jordan_U> StrangeCharm: Check the box "Connect automatically"
[05:09] <draccy> Izinucs, That doesn't help the getting-noticed-in-the-first-place part of it. :P
[05:09] <SvendJolly> Guest42045:  I have to tell you, ubuntu is really new to me. No i don't even know what pulseaudio is. But i can tell you, that i have tried messing the sound icon, but i cannot find anything about surround sound. Have to tell you, that i have SPDIF output in my soundcard, and used that in windows
[05:09] <Izinucs> Guest42045: that would be the server portion.. sorry I'm not really sure.. there should be some docs on it.
[05:09] <RickZilla> I seem to have lost a couple of iconsright next to the time and date in the top right hand corner of my screen, not sure where they went, and I can't seem to get them back with the Add to Panel menu...specifically I lost my power and wireless signal icons...where else can I go to get those back?
[05:10] <Losha> felon: yes they do. repositories contain ready compiled applications, and they get installed for you on request. They've usually been tested, and its easy to upgrade them and/or remove them if you want to. Saves a lot of work for you....
[05:10] <sinistrad> felon, no, they are precompiled binaries. They were compiled using the general architecture of your processor.
[05:10] <switch10_> SvendJolly: try opening a terminal and typing alsamixer     make sure all volumes are up..
[05:10] <Flamey> felon: It's also much faster to download the binaries from the repositories than downloading source and making it
[05:10] <ishmandoo> My friend is having a strange problem on his computer. He has a dual-boot ubuntu/windows vista system and the speakers have stopped working in both. He can listen to music on headphones but not with the speakers. He has had his speakers and motherboard replaced several times. He blames the problems on ubuntu. Is it even possible for ubuntu to stop the speakers from working in windows?
[05:10] <StrangeCharm> Jordan_U, that checkbox does not produce the desired behaviour. after resuming from standby, and connecting to a wlan, the vpn is not automatically dialed. i don't know what that box is meant to do, but it doesn't seem to do what i want
[05:11] <SvendJolly> switch10_:  right away...
[05:11] <azlon> sinistrad: how can i check which drive in my RAID has failed? this is my cat /proc/mdstat http://www.pastebin.org/181691
[05:11] <draccy> My my. Three sound problems at once. I smell a bug.
[05:11] <Izinucs> draccy: sure.. if you're helping then your attention goes to what is highlighted.. if you're receiving it's the same.. ignore the rest or take some adhd meds to speed up the mental process.. but that's not recommended
[05:11] <felon> i do like ubuntu ... pretty user friendly for a guy with common sense
[05:11] <sinistrad> azlon, No idea, I haven't ever ran RAID
[05:11] <sinistrad> felon, indeed
[05:12] <RickZilla> draccy, shouldn't be a bug in Karmic for sound
[05:12] <ishmandoo> draccy: were you talking to me?
[05:12] <SvendJolly> switch10_:  i can only change the master
[05:12] <SvendJolly> and only see to other full pins, and four empty
[05:12] <draccy> Sound in this machine worked when I first installed, come to think of it. The usual upgrade I do for my Linux conversion customers is what nuked it.
[05:12] <Guest42045> "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'!"
[05:12] <draccy> RickZilla, ^^^
[05:12] <SvendJolly> three that is
[05:12] <Losha> RickZilla: you're joking of course. Sound has been flaky in Ubuntu since at least 8.X....
[05:12] <SvendJolly> three empty
[05:12] <felon> i guess you can say im newb'd on this ubuntu, but this is not my first linux distro ive ever had. back when socket 7's were the shit, i had slackware installed ... lol i dont remember much
[05:13] <RickZilla> Losha, I got it to work just fine when I first installed back at 10.4 or so
[05:13] <switch10_> SvendJolly: use the arrow keys/tab
[05:13] <Losha> RickZilla: it seems to be hardware dependent, so just because it worked for you....
[05:13] <felon> im tired of security issues with windows any more.
[05:13] <RickZilla> Losha, but that's been my experience...others of course probably have different opinions...the thing I never got to work was my 3D graphics card
[05:13] <draccy> Removing pulseaudio does nothing, but maybe if I install 8.10's alsa packages...
[05:13] <draccy> Or just from the install disc. That would be saner.
[05:13] <SvendJolly> switch10_:  aha.. now i turned them all up
[05:14] <RickZilla> I seem to have lost a couple of iconsright next to the time and date in the top right hand corner of my screen, not sure where they went, and I can't seem to get them back with the Add to Panel menu...specifically I lost my power and wireless signal icons...where else can I go to get those back?
[05:14] <felon> id rather mess with iptables
[05:14] <Losha> RickZilla: if it's 10.04, you can go to #ubuntu+1
[05:14] <SvendJolly> switch10_:  but does that mean, that i now have the spdif activated, and are able to play surround that way now?
[05:14] <RickZilla> Losha: Nope, still Karmic
[05:15] <sinistrad> felon, your methods for getting software should be first, the repositories(software center, apt-get, aptitude...) and make sure you enable "universe" repositories. Then if that fails, see if you can find a .deb for the software that matches your architecture (32 or 64 bit), and as last resort, source.
[05:15] <switch10_> SvendJolly: your surround should be working
[05:15] <RickZilla> Losha, they just seem to have disappeared, and I'm not sure where they went
[05:15] <Losha> RickZilla: oh, I thought you mentioned 10.4 a few moments ago...
[05:15] <RickZilla> Losha, I meant 8.4
[05:16] <SvendJolly> switch10_:  okay, but there is no red light coming out of the cable
[05:16] <itilious> how do i keep a script running in the background?
[05:16] <switch10_> SvendJolly: the settings should save automatically.  If they do not save, open alsamixer as root and change the settings..
[05:16] <felon> ive been messing with ubuntu for three days now and ive installed it three times. 9.10, then upgraded to 10.04 but i fucked it all up lol formated and reinstalled 9.10
[05:16] <sinistrad> itilious, follow the command with &
[05:16] <Losha> RickZilla: sorry, crystal ball not working...
[05:16] <CaptainTrek> is there a way I can load certain terminal commands to run automatically as root on boot?
[05:16] <felon> ill remember that siistrad
[05:16] <sinistrad> itilious, that is if you haven't started it
[05:16] <switch10_> SvendJolly: sorry I don't know what red light you are talking about...
[05:16] <felon> sinistrad
[05:16] <SvendJolly> switch10_:  spdif is an optical output
[05:17] <felon> exactly in that order
[05:17] <SvendJolly> i use a toslink cable, with a jackstick converter
[05:17] <felon> i like all the games i can get, thats pretty koo
[05:17] <RickZilla> Losha, thanks anyway...I wonder if it will come back with the upgrade in a couple of days
[05:17] <hiexpo> it's all good
[05:17] <CaptainTrek> !language | felon
[05:17] <switch10_> SvendJolly: I don't have surround and have never set it up.  I just know about alsamixer...
[05:17] <sinistrad> itilious, if it is already started, then you can CTRL Z, which I think will halt it, give you back command-line, and then put in bg %1 to background it
[05:17] <hiexpo> i am back
[05:17] <Losha> CaptainTrek: yes, depending on the commands, you can put them in a file named /etc/rc.local which gets run once at the end of the boot sequence. Which commands?
[05:17] <felon> oh
[05:17] <CaptainTrek> Losha: something to set up certain links that won't remain persistent
[05:18] <felon> well, whats my name .. ha. !
[05:18] <RickZilla> Thank goodness, hiexpo....we were getting worried sick about you
[05:18] <SvendJolly> switch10_:  okay :) thank you for helping, at least, i got all of the speakers turned up :)
[05:18] <demism> is there a way to convert ubuntu into debian through repos and other means?
[05:18] <Losha> CaptainTrek: that should work, but tell me which links, and why they aren't persistent?
[05:18] <CaptainTrek> Losha: I had something in a different folder linked to /dev/null and that link refuses to remain persistent after reboot
[05:18] <hiexpo> lol
[05:19] <CaptainTrek> linked as in i move something to /some/where and it sends it to /dev/null instead
[05:19] <itilious> sinistrad, i'm trying to keep this script running in the background http://script.jmap82.com/doku.php?id=jmap82sscripts:monitor
[05:19] <switch10_> SvendJolly: no problem.  keep asking around, Im sure some one has a setup similar to yours..
[05:19] <CaptainTrek> unfortunately, it refuses to stay persistent
[05:19] <SvendJolly> switch10_:  i hope so :)
[05:19] <Losha> CaptainTrek: that's very odd, normally links don't spontaneously disappear....
[05:19] <Puppy_fam> Can someone help me with making an ISO into a live usb drive?
[05:19] <felon> question : is it possible to ( im assuming im using Gnome Desktop Enviroment) switch to like X or something without messing up anything else. ?
[05:19] <CaptainTrek> Losha: its been happening only with the links that tie back to /dev/null
[05:20] <CaptainTrek> perhaps because the filesystem is unloaded at the end of boot?
[05:20] <Losha> demism: it's an odd question. Ubuntu is a debian derivative after all...
[05:20] <SvendJolly> So if anyone have any experience with setting up SPDIF (optical) sound on ubuntu, please help me
[05:20] <bastid_raZor> !usb | Puppy_fam follow the links
[05:20] <CaptainTrek> end of reboot*
[05:20] <hiexpo> demism,  - yes
[05:20] <switch10_> Puppy_fam: use live usb creator under system>administration
[05:20] <itilious> i simply want compiz to disable when the vino-server is active
[05:20] <Losha> CaptainTrek: well, devices are recreated at boot time. Are you using a soft link or a hard link?
[05:20] <itilious> anyone know a fix for this problem with nvidia drivers and remote desktop bug?
[05:20] <demism> hiexpo: here's the follow-on... how?
[05:20] <StrangeCharm> i'm on 9.10. i don't want to access the 'net without using a vpn. how can require a vpn to be dialed whenever there's a network connection, and automatically redial it if it's dropped?
[05:20] <CaptainTrek> Losha: tried both, normally i hardlink it

[05:21] <RickZilla> I seem to have lost a couple of iconsright next to the time and date in the top right hand corner of my screen, not sure where they went, and I can't seem to get them back with the Add to Panel menu...specifically I lost my power and wireless signal icons...where else can I go to get those back?
[05:21] <draccy> Sound has suddenly disappeared in this Ubuntu Karmic install. Tried three different sound cards, all of which appear in the software to be working properly. Tried multiple sets of speakers, alsamixer, pulseaudio controls, etc.
[05:21] <sinistrad> itilious, when you run that script, follow it with &
[05:21] <patrick_> failed to parse xorg conf something nvidia. ten pages on the forums about this. any quick fixes?
[05:21] <sinistrad> itilious, it will background it, and give you back the command line
[05:21] <Losha> CaptainTrek: a soft link should remain even if /dev/zero disappears. If not, well, as I say, you can issue the link commands from /etc/rc.local
[05:21] <itilious> sinistrad, sorry for my noob question but how exactly do i run it :/
[05:21] <felon> yes it failed on me too when i tried to save my conf.
[05:21] <bastid_raZor> patrick_: gksudo nvidia-settings   .. then try to save
[05:22] <pepee> draccy, try lucid
[05:22] <hiexpo> demism,  - ubuntu is deb all myrepo'sare deb
[05:22] <Puppy_fam> @switch10_: when I use live usb creator it only works for .img files. Not ISO's. Why is this?
[05:22] <felon> rename it
[05:22] <felon> shouldnt hurt it
[05:22] <sinistrad> itilious, you navigate to the script, and do ./script &
[05:22] <switch10_> Puppy_fam: I have no idea.  iso's work with live usb creator.  have you tried unetbootin?
[05:22] <patrick_> bastid_raZor, same error
[05:23] <DingGGu> reboot
[05:23] <patrick_> bastid_raZor, grrr
[05:23] <Losha> hiexpo: what do you mean: "all my repos are deb" ??
[05:23] <Luyza> QUESTION ~  on GIMP, following the Ubuntu Wacom Wiki thingie,  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=Screenshot-Gimp_Input.png   I setup my wacom. BUT, I have to draw with the eraser! When I use the 'pen', it gives me the cursor, and then ANOTHER cursor mirrors my movement (WIERD I know), and when I click, it doesn't paint anything. Anyone know what the prob could be?:P
[05:28] <itilious> sinistrad, the terminal simply gave me a reply of :9894
[05:28] <itilious> whats that even mean? lol
[05:28] <pepee> Luyza, LOL ok, didn't know that
[05:28] <pepee> it seems like wacom are problematic in linux, and not very well developed
[05:28] <sinistrad> itilious, that is the pid of the process
[05:29] <jmoiron> any way to boot ubuntu without booting into x
[05:29] <pepee> draccy, sure it's not a hardware problem?
[05:29] <hiexpo> Losha,  _ why ?
[05:29] <itilious> sinistrad, is it necessary to use sudo with it everytime?
[05:29] <pepee> jmoiron, yep, "recovery something"
[05:29] <patrick_> plum-mobile, easy way is to download supergrub and let it fix it automatically.  Is there some advantage?
[05:29] <jmoiron> pepee: no, that boots into single user mode, which asks me for a root password
[05:29] <patrick_> can someone help plum-mobile with !grub
[05:29] <azlon> will mke2fs format a drive?
[05:29] <pepee> jmoiron, do you wanna change your password?
[05:30] <azlon> !mke2fs
[05:30] <jmoiron> pepee: i want to fix my system
[05:30] <pepee> jmoiron, what's the problem?
[05:30] <patrick_> !grun
[05:30] <jmoiron> i'd like to log in as my user
[05:30] <patrick_> !grub
[05:30] <sinistrad> itilious,  some processes require sudo to get escalated priviliges. I guess that one might.  You can try without.  It will complain or not work otherwise
[05:30] <patrick_> plum-mobile, > !grub
[05:30] <jmoiron> pepee: ubuntu 10.04 upgrade doesn't like my setup
[05:30] <jmoiron> also helpfully mangled the root password on its way out
[05:30] <Losha> azlon: yes, rather, it will format a partition. Be careful with it or you could lose data if you format the wrong partition!
[05:31] <itilious> sinistrad, so then even if i make it a launcher i will still need to enter the password manually everytime?
[05:31] <pepee> jmoiron: /join #ubuntu+1
[05:31] <jmoiron> old kernel still boots but into a broken X that won't run even in failsafeX
[05:31] <azlon> Losha: been there done that (2 days ago). i was installing 9.10 over my 10.04 due to bugs and i f'n installed on the wrong drive.
[05:31] <hiexpo> Losha, yes because i like my repos and the stuff iuse
[05:31] <pepee> jmoiron, and if you want a shell, you have to edit the kernel line in grub
[05:31] <Losha> azlon: we've *all* done that at least once....
[05:31] <jmoiron> pepee: that's fine, i'd like a login if possible
[05:32] <sinistrad> itilious, well, that would be proper that if it requires it.
[05:32] <jmoiron> if i can get to my own user, i can mod the root pw and then get into single user mode
[05:32] <Losha> hiexpo: so you do it "because you like it". Not exactly the technical reason I was hoping for...
[05:32] <pepee> jmoiron, you have to remove all the kernel options (except root=...) and add init=/bin/bash
[05:33] <pepee> jmoiron, remove "single" in the kernel options line
[05:33] <jmoiron> pepee: neat, seems to have worked
[05:33] <azlon> Losha: i am currently building a RAID and i made it an ext3, but now after reading about ext2,3,4 i think i want ext2 because it doens't have any journaling. now i need to mke2fs the raid instead of mke2fs -j... does this sound about right?
[05:33] <pepee> jmoiron, what did you do?
[05:34] <jmoiron> pepee: i just did the regular upgrade as suggested
[05:34] <SvendJolly> switch10_: i think i got something here, hope you can help me with my little problem. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=58216 IEC958 is not activated, i say that because i havent done it, and i cannot change the settings. But i cant fint out, how to activate it. How to open the gnome volume controller
[05:34] <pepee> draccy, already there?
[05:34] <jmoiron> my system boots onto a raid0 so it isn't the most straightforward
[05:34] <pepee> jmoiron, heh ok
[05:34] <Losha> azlon: the mke2fs part sounds right. I don't know enough about raid to advise you on the rest...
[05:34] <hiexpo> Losha,  _ i am a hack ///// I am a hacker no longer i donot know how to answer that ?
[05:34] <azlon> Losha: thanks
[05:35] <_pg_> on mac, I use a program called teleport as a virtual KVM switch. is there anything likt that on Ubunut?
[05:35] <_pg_> hiexpo: good to hear
[05:36] <pepee> _pg_, KVM?
[05:36] <Losha> hiexpo: er, ok. I just find it odd that you do this, and what demism wants to do seems even odder....
[05:36] <_pg_> pepee: Keyboard Video Monitor I think. basically it means i can use my laptop as a keyboard mouse for other macs on my lan
[05:37] <pepee> _pg_, oh, google told me what teleport is for
[05:37] <_pg_> pepee: did i have the acronym wrong?
[05:37] <pepee> _pg_, no idea heh
[05:37] <itilious> awesome, thanks for all your help sinistrad
[05:37] <pepee> i just typed "teleport mac"
[05:38] <_pg_> pepee: pretty neat huh?
[05:38] <slaad_> That is what KVM stands for
[05:38] <sinistrad> itilious, of course.  I try. Not often I can offer help, but I try
[05:39] <_pg_> slaad_: pepee know of anything like that for ubuntu? besides VNC of course
[05:39] <pepee> _pg_, yeah
[05:39] <Losha> pepee: perhaps http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy2/files/ ?
[05:39] <pepee> Losha, tell _pg_
[05:39] <hiexpo> Losha,  i am the best of the best i am a piece of sh// lol
[05:39] <pepee> _pg_, no idea..
[05:39] <Losha> _pg_: perhaps http://sourceforge.net/projects/synergy2/files
[05:40] <Losha> hiexpo: please keep it g-rated...
[05:40] <hiexpo> i try
[05:40] <pepee> I would like to know how does that works...
[05:40] <pepee> IRDA mouse and keyboards?
[05:41] <hiexpo> !ask | hiexpo
[05:41] <_pg_> pepee: IRDA?
[05:41] <pepee> infrared
[05:41] <_pg_> pepee: no, just on my lappy
[05:41] <_pg_> pepee: does it over wifi
[05:41] <pepee> ahh
[05:42] <jmoiron> pepee: thanks a lot, i figured out what hosed my system and it's booted fine now
[05:42] <pepee> jmoiron, np. good luck ;)
[05:43] <_pg_> pepee: i cant get on SF to look at that synergy thing. my 10.04 upgrade is eating all whopping 1.5mpbs of my precious bandwidth. i think im just going to bed. thanks for all your help today
[05:43] <pepee> _pg_, np
[05:44] <pepee> _pg_, thank Losha
[05:44] <draccy> pepee, Tried three different sound cards to confirm.
[05:44] <_pg_> Losha: thanks for the tip-
[05:44] <pepee> draccy, which one works?
[05:44] <_pg_> peas
[05:45] <Losha> _pg_: pepee: best of luck guys
[05:45] <draccy> pepee, none of them. They all appear to work, but produce no sound from the line out.
[05:45] <jmoiron> for posterities sake i had this line in my /etc/fstab : none /proc/bus/usb usbfs devgid=46,devmode=664 0 0
[05:45] <pepee> draccy, that's why I'm asking if it's a hardware problem...
[05:45] <draccy> pepee, three cards. Identical symptoms.
[05:45] <pepee> if none of them works, then probably is not OS-related problem
[05:46] <draccy> They work under normal circumstances.
[05:46] <draccy> I'll be back.
[05:46] <pepee> draccy, yeah, but, did you test the MoBo?
[05:46] <pepee> :(
[05:46] <eycel> can any one tell me how my website is running in firefox, http://www.mplays.co.cc
[05:47] <itilious> sinistrad, i still dont see the script under the process list though :(
[05:47] <bullgard4> [seahorse] Passwords and Encryption Keys > My Personal Keys lists 3 different keys. I have expliucitlely created only 1. (This one is seen on another computer too.) Where do the other 2 come from?
[05:47] <root> yaeh yeah
[05:48] <sinistrad> itilious, you might be able to sort by pid, and then check for the script name, and it might also be listed as a path/script
[05:48] <brown_plasticine> test test
[05:49] <pepee> eycel, http://browsershots.org/
[05:49] <eycel> ??
[05:49] <sinistrad> brown_plasticine, we see ya
[05:49] <pepee> eycel, http://www.google.com/search?q=test+website+browsers&hl=en
[05:49] <selig5> eycel: that url comes up as available
[05:50] <eycel> wth
[05:50] <eycel> lol
[05:50] <selig5> eycel: it is a placeholder page
[05:50] <itilious> sinistrad, no script name or PID
[05:50] <eycel> http://www.mplays.co.cc/
[05:50] <sinistrad> itilious, it may have exited
[05:52] <azlon> when I do find /mnt/ArchiveStorage/Movies -name "*.avi" -a -size +700m it returns the whole path of the movie (ie. /mnt/ArchiveStorage/Movies/Ace Ventura 2 - When Nature Call/Ace Ventura 2 - When Nature Call.avi). is there a way to just return the folder name (Ace Ventura 2 - When Nature Calls) and not the other info?
[05:52] <sinistrad> itilious, check the terminal window you ran it from, often when a program exits normally, you'll just see "done"(I think) printed out, and may list the pid with it
[05:52] <pepee> !ot | eycel
[05:53] <sinistrad> itilious, also, if it segfaulted or otherwise had a problem, you might see something there too
[05:53] <eycel> ??
[05:53] <eycel> firefox is apart of ubunto
[05:53] <eycel> i want to know if it works with firefox
[05:55] <apstanto> I'm using ubuntu 9.04 and I am trying to share a drive/folder on our home network.  The drive shows up on my windows box, but when I try to access it, it says "logon unsuccessful".  Any suggestions?
[05:55] <pepee> eycel, we are here for giving support to the users, not for testing websites
[05:55] <pepee> specifically, support about ubuntu
[05:55] <pepee> and I'm showing how you can test yuor site without asking for it
[05:55] <Losha> azlon: see the -printf option to find, using a format of %h
[05:56] <azlon> Losha: thanks
[05:56] <Besogon> English speakers. I need you advice. (it's needed for a package) Description field: there are some program FOR tmm discipline. OR there are some program ON tmm discipline???
[05:56] <eycel> cept I need a human test...
[05:57] <Losha> Besogon: not sure yet. What is tmm?
[05:57] <pepee> eycel, /join #firefox ?
[05:57] <pepee> or #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:58] <eycel> o.k pepe...
[05:58] <eycel> ;)
[05:59] <Besogon> Losha, tmm is name of russion subject in our university. That is not important
[06:00] <Besogon> Losha, I asked only for "ON" ar "FOR" in the sentence.
[06:00] <porter1> Besogon, the way you say it depends on it's name
[06:00] <Losha> Besogon: It's important if I am to give you the best English phrase...
[06:00] <bastid_raZor> Besogon: this channel isn't a grammar check channel.
[06:02] <eycel> any one using xchat with there linux?
[06:02] <Losha> eycel: I am...

[06:02] <eycel> do you?
[06:02] <Besogon> Losha, tmm - "theory of machines and mechanisms"
[06:02] <eycel> i just started using it today
[06:02] <porter1> eycel, yeah, it's a decent client
[06:02] <eycel> works so good
[06:02] <Losha> eycel: I prefer not to discuss my love life on irc...
[06:03] <eycel> and it isnt a system hog...
[06:03] <eycel> has it running overnight and everything is like i just started up linux
[06:03] <porter1> eycel, original client or gnome version?

The drive shows up on my windows box, but when I try to access it, I type in my user name and password and it says "logon unsuccessful".  This same procedure works great for my other ubuntu 9.04 machine.  What could be wrong?
[06:03] <Besogon> Losha, PM?
[06:04] <red2kic> eycel: I made my own theme because nothing of those suits me. :)
[06:04] <eycel> im not sure, it was just in the libary of software that came with puppy linux

[06:06] <azlon> Losha: i think im doing something wrong. im reading the man for find, but my command isnt working right. this is what i typed: find /mnt/ArchiveStorage/Movies/ -name "*.avi" -a -size 700M -printf %h
[06:06] <Alcor> ohodihad u made chgs in the vpn?
[06:06] <Losha> azlon: try: ....  -printf "%h\n"

[06:09] <Shoggoth> I'm running Ubuntu Jaunty and I want to prevent the kvm modules from being loaded at boot, I used sysv-rc-conf to disable /etc/init.d/kvm from running at startup but after a reboot the modules are still resident? I could blacklist the modules I suppose but I'm confused as to how they're getting loaded when the service has been disabled. Any suggestions?

[06:10] <circuitman> i cant play mp3 and wma audio files in my ubuntu9.04
[06:11] <circuitman> hello guys,help me
[06:11] <switch10_> circuitman: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:11] <azlon> Losha: i tried adding \r also but it still outputs all results in a single string
[06:11] <bastid_raZor> bullgard4: possibly ssh keys?
[06:13] <Losha> azlon: let me try it here...
[06:13] <circuitman> switch:its 40mb downlaod
[06:14] <Flamey> circuitman: that makes sense
[06:14] <Losha> azlon: -printf "%h\n"   <--- the double quotes are necessary for \n to be turned into newline
[06:14] <circuitman> flamey:i want only the codecs
[06:14] <azlon> Losha: awesome! thanks!
[06:14] <circuitman> flamey:These codecs did not come as default
[06:15] <switch10_> circuitman: and they dont
[06:15] <Flamey> circuitman: I'm not sure which one has the mp3 codecs. Also, nothing from the restricted section comes installed by default
[06:15] <azlon> Losha: the only problem is that it still returns the whole path. the man says %h should just show the last folder before the filename
[06:16] <switch10_> circuitman: if you want proprietary stuff, i.e. mp3, flash, dvd playback, etc, you need to install it..
[06:16] <azlon> Losha: oh wait, i read it wrong... it shows just the path, not the file name... thanks!
[06:16] <circuitman> switch: but 40mb will take hours
[06:16] <Losha> azlon: cool. Otherwise we'd need to postprocess it thru sed or some such...
[06:16] <Flamey> circuitman: one of gstreamer0.10-(ffmpeg or plugins-bad or plugins-bad-multiverse or plugins-ugly or plugins-ugly-multiverse)
[06:16] <switch10_> circuitman: ok
[06:17] <realcoolguy> Hmmm finally got a better error message for my problem.  Something to the effect of mountall main process terminated with status 1  (404) was in there somewhere too, the screen is really flickery when it brings me to the recovery terminal login however so it's hard to read even.  I'm seeing lots of of posts for fixes, i'm just wondering if there is someone who can direct me to a good location for this annoying problem (fresh 9
[06:17] <realcoolguy> .10 install, boots from live cd, but not HD)
[06:17] <switch10_> circuitman: this is what you need to do.  I don't know what to tell you.  40mb takes my less then 1 min..
[06:17] <switch10_> me*
[06:17] <circuitman> switch: why do ubuntu people make everything to depend on web
[06:18] <circuitman> switch10: i'm using a dialup connection
[06:18] <Losha> circuitman: because most of them have broadband connections....
[06:18] <switch10_> circuitman: what are you talking about?  If you want to pay for proprietary stuff included with your OS, you can...
[06:19] <switch10_> circuitman: I can think of 2 off the top of my head....
[06:19] <circuitman> its ridiculous to download just a codec,we have to download unnecessary 40 mb
[06:19] <Flamey> circuitman: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[06:20] <ericm|ubuntu> anyone able to use bluetooth headset in A2DP mode with luck?
[06:20] <circuitman> Flamey:ok its 13 mb
[06:20] <Flamey> circuitman: not sure what the size it's gonna be, it might depends on more stuff, but that will be the minimum you need to download.
[06:21] <circuitman> Flamey:ok
[06:21] <apstanto> I'm using ubuntu 9.04 and I am trying to share a drive/folder on our home network.

This same procedure works great for my other ubuntu 9.04 machine.  What could be wrong?
[06:22] <Flamey> circuitman: I had to download some software to do an assignment today, it was 200 megs, and I was upset that it took an hour. I deleted it right after too.
[06:22] <exploit100> will it be any problem if i change my cd rom to dvd rom?
[06:24] <friendforall> some one here for answer of my problem please?
[06:24] <genz> what problem
[06:25] <friendforall> Currently i am running CD rom but i want change CD rom to DVD rom
[06:25] <genz> so change it
[06:25] <friendforall> But not working
[06:25] <genz> it doesnt show the drive?
[06:26] <red2kic> friendforall: Your disc-reader device aren't capable of reading DVDs?
[06:26] <friendforall> When i change it then THE os can not boot
[06:26] <friendforall> yes
[06:26] <genz> what error
[06:26] <genz> sounds like a bios option
[06:27] <friendforall> the error : boot failure, insert the system disk
[06:27] <genz> is it ide or sata
[06:27] <Flamey> friendforall: are you booting from the CD?
[06:27] <azlon> Losha: how can i run a regex on a file? i output my find results to movies.txt but i want to convert the filesize (in kb) to a standard form like Mb... is there an easy way to loop through the file and replace [S:12345] with 12M?
[06:27] <friendforall> It is IDE , and running from hard disk
[06:28] <genz> is the hard disk ide too?
[06:28] <friendforall> yes
[06:28] <genz> thats your issue
[06:28] <genz> your jumpers are messed up
[06:28] <genz> hard drive needs to be master
[06:28] <friendforall> so ?
[06:28] <genz> dvd drive needs to be slave
[06:28] <Flamey> friendforall: if they are ide, on the same channel, their jumpers must be wrong, both must be cable select, or hd master, cd slave.
[06:29] <friendforall> How can i do this?
[06:29] <genz> back of the drive
[06:29] <genz> change it to slave
[06:29] <friendforall> in bios?
[06:29] <Flamey> friendforall: physically
[06:30] <Flamey> friendforall: you have to move the jumper from one sets of pins on the back of the drive to another
[06:30] <Flamey> friendforall: wait, are you trying to read a DVD in your CD drive?
[06:30] <friendforall> no
[06:31] <friendforall> just trying to change the rom
[06:31] <friendforall> CD to DVD
[06:31] <red2kic> Just for lol and giggles, friendforall, are you using a laptop? o.o
[06:31] <friendforall> desktop

[06:31] <DJ_HaMsTa> How can i figure out what drivers are being used ?
[06:32] <red2kic> friendforall: Do you know for fact that your machine are able to play dvd movies in the past?
[06:32] <Flamey> ricky13: same =)
[06:32] <friendforall> yes

[06:32] <friendforall> i used in xp
[06:32] <ricky13> haha i always check the site hoping they release it early
[06:32] <Luyza> Could someone help me with xsetwacom? Usually, I do xsetwacom set 16 Mode Relative, BUT The "STYLUS" (which usually is 16, doesn't show anymore! Look!  http://www.pastebin.lt/view/raw/56101928
[06:33] <red2kic> ricky13: I'm already using lucid. I'm special VIP guest, huh? ;)
[06:33] <friendforall> Now How can i change  and what will be the setup?
[06:33] <red2kic> friendforall: http://www.ehow.com/how_6031_change-master-slave-designation.html
[06:34] <ricky13> i guess. but i want the official release not the candidate

[06:35] <DJ_HaMsTa> how can one probe for USB drivers being used by devices ?
[06:35] <zcat[1]> how do I make mounted drives not show up on the desktop? something in gconf? I had a dig around and I can't find the option
[06:35] <zcat[1]> .. I think I did it once before, a long time ago on an earlier install
[06:36] <switch10_> zcat[1]: its in gconf-editor
[06:36] <ricky13> how do i change my computer's user name? cuz i don't like what i have right now
[06:36] <DJ_HaMsTa> LSUSB says Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8187 Wireless Adapter
[06:36] <DJ_HaMsTa> , How can i tell which driver its using ?
[06:37] <red2kic> ricky13: Make a new username. :>
[06:37] <Flamey> how do I change the text mode size of the linux console? Say 132 x 50.
[06:37] <zcat[1]> switch10_:  Any idea where in gconf-editor?
[06:37] <ricky13> of course but how?
[06:37] <kaushal> hi

[06:41] <switch10_> zcat[1]: no problem
[06:42] <Flamey> DJ_HaMsTa: I recognize the name, I have the same adapter, it's using the rtl8187 driver
[06:42] <heroid> hi guys how do i reset all my gnome-panel to default?
[06:42] <Flamey> DJ_HaMsTa: you can see the info modinfo rtl8187

[06:43] <heroid> ubottu: thanks
[06:45] <nullkuhl_> hello..
[06:47] <plum-mobile> Hey, can ubuntu be run from NTFS instead of ext4?
[06:47] <red2kic> plum-mobile: Why do you want to break Ubuntu? :(
[06:47] <tonyyarusso> plum-mobile: no.
[06:47] <nullkuhl_> hello i have a problem with my pointing device, its a laptop clickpad, currently i have no right or left clicks working nor 2 finger scrolling, plz help..
[06:48] <adelcampo> plum-mobile, google for wubi
[06:48] <plum-mobile> :/ I have a previous install of osx86 bootloader and it's not recognizing my Linux to boot from
[06:49] <lilik> #ubuntu-id
[06:49] <plum-mobile> adelcampo: I have wubi on a usb device that I installed ubuntu on my other hdd with
[06:49] <plum-mobile> The bootloader does not recognize it to boot from though
[06:51] <DJ_HaMsTa> Flamey, Thank you, that should clear up somethings. If you dont mind me asking what driver are u using for it ?
[06:52] <nullkuhl_> hello i have a problem with my pointing device, its a laptop clickpad, currently i have no right or left clicks working nor 2 finger scrolling, plz help..
[06:52] <plum-mobile> Why does /dev/sdb2 have keys next to the name on gParted, but not /dev/sdb1 (what I want to boot from) ?
[06:53] <Flamey> DJ_HaMsTa: the name of the driver is rtl8187, there was another I think called r8187 or r8180 it didn't work as well
[06:53] <DJ_HaMsTa> is it /lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl818x/rtl8187.ko ?
[06:54] <felon> EC2 is VPN ?
[06:55] <Flamey> DJ_HaMsTa: yep that's the module.
[06:55] <bullgard4> bastid_raZor: Yes, they may be ssh keys. How can I differentiate beween ssh key and a GPG key?
[06:56] <circuitman> how to download ASF for playing wma audio
[06:56] <bastid_raZor> bullgard4: you can double click the key and see its properties which tells what type of key it is.. where it is located on your drive. ~/.ssh/ being a good hint at ssh
[06:57] <Flamey> circuitman: Not sure which one it is, but it's one of the gstreamer packages, I think
[06:57] <circuitman> how to download ASF (Advanced Streaming Format) demuxer plugin for playing wma audio
[06:57] <switch10_> plum-mobile: the jeys next to it means that it is mounted.  You would have to unmount the drive/partition to make any changes.  That may mean you have to boot from a live cd
[06:57] <switch10_> keys*
[06:59] <plum-mobile> switch10_: ah ok, thanks.. I was in live cd but I didn't know how to get it working to boot from ubuntu. I think its my bootloader is the problem.
[07:03] <non> hey guys
[07:03] <felon> hi
[07:03] <non> how are you?
[07:03] <felon> im hungry
[07:03] <felon> you ?
[07:03] <sinistrad> How can I find out what is using port80? I have a pc that I upgraded from intrepid to jaunty that had apache on it. Apache won't start because it says something else is already bound to port80
[07:03] <non> starving
[07:03] <non> say felon
[07:04] <felon> yes non
[07:04] <non> do you know how to setup the snapon windows feature similar to that in win 7?
[07:05] <non> I've been tryin to work my mind around it for days
[07:05] <felon> cant say that i do.
[07:05] <switch10_> non: grid in the advanced compiz settings works great..
[07:05] <non> yeah?
[07:05] <red2kic> non: yeah!
[07:06] <non> cheers lads will mosdef give it a go!

[07:07] <gulash> How do I start virtualbox?
[07:08] <meowbuntu> is there an easy file search tool for ubuntu i can get.
[07:08] <red2kic> gulash: It is under Applications --> System Tools, I think.
[07:08] <gulash> Oh. >_< `virtualbox` ... thought itš vbox or something
[07:08] <red2kic> meowbuntu: "sudo updatedb && locate meowbuntu.txt"
[07:08] <switch10_> meowbuntu: gnome-do
[07:08] <gulash> red2kic: Who said I have gnome started? ;]
[07:09] <meowbuntu> red, what thats not it
[07:09] <meowbuntu> thanks switch10_
[07:09] <red2kic> gulash: Try "v<tab,tab> in the terminal.  I gave you commands to search. Somebody else gave you a name of package. :3
[07:10] <meowbuntu> switch10_, something like ctrl+alt+s
[07:11] <motaka2> may any one help me through installing tor on ubuntu?
[07:11] <switch10_> meowbuntu: I use super+g
[07:11] <meowbuntu> red2kic, gtk is always best easiest way to do anything for most
[07:11] <Flamey> sinistrad: sudo lsof -itcp:www
[07:11] <meowbuntu> super = the windows key right
[07:11] <meowbuntu> ^ switch10_
[07:12] <switch10_> meowbuntu: yes
[07:12] <sinistrad> Flamey, I found it. the upgrade added listen 80 to /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[07:12] <switch10_> meowbuntu: gnome-do does more than locate, or find do anyway...
[07:12] <sinistrad> Flamey, port80 wasn't showing up in netstat
[07:13] <switch10_> meowbuntu: it can even search your friends in empathy..  or emails in evolution, and so much more..
[07:13] <meowbuntu> switch10_, where is gnome do located in ubuntu menu
[07:14] <MrH_> sup ppl
[07:14] <meowbuntu> empathy is not as good as pidgion.
[07:14] <meowbuntu> webmail is best for me
[07:14] <tripelb> it's chrome, it's in ubuntu 9.10, I am on the comedy central website, I just watched 2 videos, the 2nd finishes, then I see this To view this movie you need the Adobe Flash Player plugin. You also need JavaScript enabled in your browser.
[07:14] <Flamey> sinistrad: listen sockets aren't shown in the default display, i usually add -a to see them
[07:14] <switch10_> meowbuntu: apps>accessories
[07:14] <meowbuntu> but switch10_ thats great
[07:14] <switch10_> meowbuntu: I like empathy better..
[07:14]  * MrH_ can't sleep
[07:14] <tripelb> meowbuntu, I use xchat
[07:14] <MrH_> xchat here as well
[07:15] <Flamey> sinistrad: problem with netstat is that it doesn't tell you which process is using that port.
[07:15] <meowbuntu> switch10_, empathy cant do as much as pidgin atm its too new
[07:15] <switch10_> well for irc I use irssi...
[07:15] <Flamey> me too, and #irssi answers my occasional questions.
[07:15] <meowbuntu> irc xchat is best on ubuntu irssi is also good and light though
[07:15] <sinistrad> I was using netstat -lnp | grep '<IP_ADDRESS>:80'
[07:15] <MrH_> i want to combine a plug-in for conky and a cmd based irc client
[07:16] <switch10_> meowbuntu: I rarley use it.  as far as I know empathy has voice and pidgin does not..
[07:16] <ennui> has anyone here used rEFIt to boot to Ubuntu on an intel mac?
[07:16] <Flamey> sinistrad: that won't find everything, if apache only binds to one address, you'd get some real ip and not <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:16] <robertzaccour> when is the gnome 3 final release? in time for 10.10 i hope
[07:16] <MrH_> kinda embed the chat into the background with user input enabled
[07:16] <tripelb> meowbuntu re search tool, it's (dumbly) hidden, in a file browser (the one called nautilus but only by those who know, gnome never mentions it) press control-F and there it appears.
[07:17] <red2kic> MrH_: I don't think conky is interactive. Its duty is to display information. You could ask in #conky though.
[07:17] <sinistrad> Flamey, It didn't find anything.  apache was only giving me (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address <IP_ADDRESS>:80 when I tried to start it
[07:17] <Flamey> tripelb: wow thanks, I never knew about Ctrl-F
[07:17] <sinistrad> Flamey, meaning, you are right
[07:18] <MrH_> red2kic: and it does a fine job at that
[07:18] <sinistrad> Flamey, luckily, I remembered that listen80 was added to ports.conf and I tried commenting it out. It seemed to work. I appreciate your help though
[07:19] <MrH_> i seen somebody do it thoe... they sent their text/cmd via a small text box that was some how connected to the client
[07:20] <Flamey> sinistrad: no prob. that lsof command will show you all the processes either bound to 80 or connected to 8)(might be a lot) lsof's manpage is huge, but i think there's a way to select only listening ports
[07:21] <sinistrad> Flamey, Thanks, I never tried lsof. I learn something new every day
[07:21] <circuitman> Flamey:still not able to play wma audio
[07:21] <robertzaccour> will gnome 3 be on 10.10? is it possible to test the current build?
[07:21] <robertzaccour> ubuntu-offtopic
[07:22] <circuitman> i downloaded the gstremaer
[07:22] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[07:22] <ShapeShifter499> can anyone here help with a powerpoint prob?
[07:22] <Flamey> sinistrad: lsof and fuser are nice tools for figuring out which processes have files, sockets, whatever open. (Excepts files in use my kernel, like loop mounts)
[07:22] <SRK> is there any bandwidth moniter in ubuntu
[07:23] <MrH_> i have one for conky
[07:23] <sinistrad> Flamey, cool!
[07:23] <circuitman> i want to change the baud rate of my usb modem
[07:23] <Flamey> circuitman: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[07:23] <SRK> is there any bandwidth moniter in ubuntu  anyone there
[07:24] <red2kic> SRK: conky or nethogs
[07:24] <MrH_> here -> http://www.pastebin.org/184170
[07:24] <MrH_> install conky, use that config
[07:24] <sinistrad> SRK, iftop will do something like that if you want to see every address connected with a bar graph of sorts
[07:24] <tripelb> Flamey, I do what I call "hack" meaning I keep trying things to see what works. That was hack in the wayback.
[07:24] <Medusa> can anybody tell me why my gnome-pilot settings start itself every time when I login?
[07:24] <circuitman> how to change the baud rate of my usb modem
[07:25] <circuitman> i've installed setserial
[07:25]  * tripelb some compination of dumb and smart. over and out
[07:25] <JetPackTuxedo> Medusa, check in your startup programs
[07:25] <Gnea> !modem | circuitman
[07:25] <Flamey> tripelb: Yeah, I mean I just never touched nautilus much, so I didn't know that was there.
[07:26] <tripelb> Flamey, how do you find files and move them to a different place or find them to open them without nautilus?
[07:26] <ShapeShifter499> I put a bunch of pics into different slides using a mac, I opened it on a windows in my world history class to present and none of the pics showed, just an error saying this or that needs to be installed, so I told the teach I'd fix it at home, my home comp with ubuntu 10.04 and open office 3.2 and it opens with all the pics showing, so how do I make sure the pics will show on the windows...
[07:26] <ShapeShifter499> ...comp in my world history class?
[07:26] <ShapeShifter499> this is a powerpoint presentation
[07:26] <tripelb> ShapeShifter499, test it in the library or something.
[07:27] <MrH_> ShapeShifter499: try #powerpoint ?
[07:27] <JetPackTuxedo> ShapeShifter499, what did you export as?
[07:27] <tripelb> oh powerpoint, not in the library. ShapeShifter499  ouch
[07:27] <Flamey> tripelb: mostly find, for the most part I have good memory for filenames
[07:27] <red2kic> ShapeShifter499: Export it as PDF or something?
[07:27] <Medusa> JetPack..:Thanks,but I checked startup and it still
[07:27] <circuitman> ubottu:actually i installed a program called setserial.
[07:27] <tripelb> flarmey so you just type the path? I am impressed.
[07:28] <Flamey> tripelb: and media, I tend to keep well organized so I never searched much
[07:28] <MrH_> ShapeShifter499, i took a powerpoint class... what do you need help on?
[07:28] <ShapeShifter499> red2kic: that could work, MrH: I need help on making sure pics that are on the slide will show no matter the comp os
[07:28] <circuitman> Gnea:i connected my modem using the network manager,but i want to change the baud rate to higher so that  i can get more speed
[07:28] <MrH_> sounds like ur teacher dosen't have M$ Office installed
[07:29] <red2kic> ShapeShifter499: Curse your classroom. Install Ubuntu 10.04 on his/her machine then open the powerpoint file.
[07:29] <ShapeShifter499> MrH_ he does
[07:29] <MrH_> would you mind sending me the presentation?
[07:29] <ShapeShifter499> red2kic: um the school district is really strict about what goes onto the comps
[07:30] <ShapeShifter499> MrH_: sure one sec
[07:30] <ShapeShifter499> MrH_: good with DCC?
[07:30] <JetPackTuxedo> ShapeShifter499, Hmm... can you install Open Office powerpoint on your flash drive, copy all images to it just in case, and just open it in your new "portable" open office as an oop?
[07:30] <ShapeShifter499> MrH_: or what ever the irc file send is
[07:30] <MrH_> havn't tryed, give it a shot
[07:31] <ShapeShifter499> there it is
[07:32] <red2kic> ShapeShifter499: That was a joke. See what happen when school tried to use proprietary software? More cesspool and does not help anyone at all. Exporting PDF or creating a website could work.
[07:32] <MrH_> now where did xchat stick it...
[07:33] <JetPackTuxedo> I would just like to say, without any attempt to relate it to ubuntu or even linux, that MSDN is slow.
[07:34] <MrH_> send it again...
[07:34] <ShapeShifter499> ok
[07:34] <ShapeShifter499> there
[07:34] <Gnea> circuitman: gah, I'm not sure how.... been years since I've used a modem, and when I did, I used this as a more technical guide: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO.html
[07:34] <ShapeShifter499> powerpoint wants to kill me
[07:34] <ShapeShifter499> ugh!
[07:35] <Gnea> circuitman: back then we had to set modem parameters by editting config files by hand
[07:35] <JetPackTuxedo> ShapeShifter499, that's what it does. If it had it's way it would just sit in a corner alone. Especially 07.
[07:35] <meowbuntu> how do i change the default download folder for google chrome please.
[07:36] <circuitman> Gnea:Then tell me how to edit the config file of my usb huawei modem
[07:36] <JetPackTuxedo> meowbuntu, go to the wrench icon in the rop right
[07:36] <meowbuntu> jet yes then
[07:36] <meowbuntu> ^ JetPackTuxedo
[07:36] <JetPackTuxedo> meowbuntu, then go to options
[07:36] <Flamey> meowbuntu: then under the hood
[07:36] <meowbuntu> its not there i checked
[07:36] <meowbuntu> oh ok
[07:37] <meowbuntu> then i'm there cant see it
[07:37] <JetPackTuxedo> meowbuntu, then under the hood. It is at the bottom of that page on mine
[07:37] <Flamey> meowbuntu: you might need to scroll down
[07:37] <meowbuntu> lol duh i did not see scroll bar lol
[07:37] <ShapeShifter499> MrH_: I guess you didn't get it
[07:37] <JetPackTuxedo> meowbuntu, I see privacy, network translate, downloads...
[07:37] <JetPackTuxedo> find it?
[07:38] <meowbuntu> ok but where is the default it just says download adn not where it is
[07:38] <meowbuntu> sort of JetPackTuxedo
[07:38] <Flamey> meowbuntu: click it, it'll bring up a folder dialog
[07:39] <meowbuntu> it just comes up with a folder called downloades not where that folder is situated arg tempremental chrome browser
[07:39] <meowbuntu> no i tryed that
[07:39] <ShapeShifter499> MrH_: you still there?
[07:39] <Flamey> meowbuntu: choose Other...
[07:40] <red2kic> MrH_: Maybe it is in ~/.xchat/downloads -- Check for pete's sake. :P
[07:40] <rsvp> !party
[07:40] <ShapeShifter499> MrH_: here http://www.sendspace.com/file/hav50j
[07:40] <meowbuntu> Flamey, you would think it would show where it is actually located not just the folder it seems to be another compleat device but its not
[07:40] <meowbuntu> Flamey, but i have something saved there already
[07:41] <Flamey> meowbuntu: Oh, you want to know where it has downloaded files?
[07:41] <meowbuntu> Flamey, found it the long way round thanks anyway
[07:41] <Gnea> circuitman: what's the baud rate currently set to?
[07:41] <circuitman> i dont know
[07:42] <circuitman> Gnea: that's what i want to know and change it
[07:42] <Flamey> meowbuntu: The default location is $HOME/Downloads
[07:42] <ShapeShifter499> red2kic: I wonder if MrH_ ditched me D=
[07:42] <geekphreak> hello all
[07:43] <meowbuntu> flyes i found that thanks
[07:43] <themadhatter> \join #sage-devel
[07:44] <Gnea> circuitman: so the usb modem, it plugs into the phone line? or is it like a cellphone?
[07:44] <Someguy77> is there a command to toggle the always on top property of a window?
[07:44] <circuitman> Gnea:cell phone
[07:45] <red2kic> ShapeShifter499: Your PPT file probably broke his machine.
[07:46] <ShapeShifter499> red2kic: D=
[07:46] <ShapeShifter499> red2kic: XD
[07:46] <Gnea> circuitman: okay, read this and see if your phone is listed: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G
[07:46] <ShapeShifter499> red2kic: this ppt is more hassle than it seemed
[07:47] <MrH_> im here
[07:47] <MrH_> DCC isn't co-opin
[07:48] <circuitman> Gnea:its not phone actually,it's usb CDMA modem
[07:48] <Gnea> circuitman: the point is that it doesn't use a landline, it uses a cellular tower to make the connection
[07:48] <ShapeShifter499> MrH_: did you get my sendspace link??
[07:48] <circuitman> Gnea:more technically its called "Network Interface Card" (NIC)
[07:48] <MrH_> no i didn't
[07:49] <ShapeShifter499> MrH_: here http://www.sendspace.com/file/hav50j
[07:49] <Gnea> circuitman: what we're concerned about here is whether or not networkmanager has the proper ability to tell the device to change baud rate or not
[07:49] <circuitman> Gnea:ya it user cell tower
[07:50] <MrH_> opens fine here bro
[07:50] <MrH_> maybe save it as a older format?
[07:51] <MrH_> crap, ttyl
[07:51] <ShapeShifter499> well it opened in my world history class asking for a Quicktime TIFF format to be installed inorder to read it
[07:51] <ShapeShifter499> aww man
[07:51] <MrH_> install quicktime
[07:51] <Gnea> circuitman: historically, the way to change the baud rate was to change the serial port speed. this might help shed a bit more light: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei
[07:52] <ShapeShifter499> it is installed on his comp
[07:52] <MrH_> or change the images from TIFF to jpg
[07:52] <MrH_> or even png
[07:52] <MrH_> i gotta go
[07:52] <red2kic> or even pony
[07:52] <ShapeShifter499> XD
[07:52] <ShapeShifter499> I'll check it out at my school's library
[07:52] <ShapeShifter499> they are windows

[07:57] <Wiseman> good evening everyone!
[07:57] <red2kic> gasull: Can't you use synaptic or terminal to install packages as opposed to clicking on apt:links you found on internet?

[08:04] <circuitman> Flamey:ok

[08:15] <ohodi> pptp is not working for me. can anyone help?
[08:15] <plum> "the bootloader" meaning Grub
[08:16] <plum> can someone help with this? i am very unfamiliar with grub and don't want to have to have my other harddrive constantly plugged in to the computer to use any other operating system...

[08:23] <red2kic> gasull: I see. I don't have apturl or ubufox installed. I rarely let the websites crave my attention to *click,click* moot packages. :)
[08:24] <gasull> red2kic: It's happening with any kind of URL I want to add, like vnc://, apt://, etc.
[08:27] <red2kic> gasull: Check Edit --> Preferences --> Applications?
[08:27] <red2kic> (in Firefox)
[08:29] <gasull> red2kic: apt isn't there.  Should it be?  And how can I add it?

[08:29] <DylanJ> i just installed an old version of ubuntu (8.04) on a computer and accidently changed the refresh rate so that no monitor in the house can view the screen >_> i'm wondering what file i need to change to reset this
[08:29] <DylanJ> anyone know? :D
[08:30] <red2kic> gasull: I see apt in my Applications database set for "Always ask"
[08:31] <gasull> red2kic: I don't see it.  How can I add it there?
[08:31] <joe__> i have two directories in the same directory.  I want to move one of these into the other via CLI.  What would be the command to do this?  mv? or cp?  I just really don't want to fuck it up..
[08:32] <geekphreak> joe__:  use mv command and watch language please
[08:33] <red2kic> gasull: Well, I found something in ~/.mozilla/firefox/$RANDOM.default/mimeTypes.rdf -- but it might be easier to try and create a new profile and see if it shows up.
[08:33] <geekphreak> to create a new profile /usr/bin/firefox -ProfileManager
[08:34] <joe__> i apologize, ok so mv directortoMove directoryiWantItToLiveIn, or will that just rename the directory?
[08:34] <hachouri> hello guys, does any one know a tools to modify the bios setup using DMI?

I use bluetooth keyboard, to connect the keyboard I have to push the connect key on the keyboard then 'hidd --search and the hidd --connect mac-address' but I have to do this after every reboot. Which configuration do I need to but where so It remembers after reboot?
[08:35] <geekphreak> joe__:  mv folder_you_wana_move folder_you_wana_move_into
[08:36] <joe__> ok, do i have to throw a -R on there if there is stuff in the folder?
[08:36] <geekphreak> mv should be fine,
[08:36] <gasull> red2kic: I don't see it in a new profile
[08:37] <hachouri> joe__, if the destination foder exist then the first folder will be moved into it if not then the folder will be moved and renamed, mv workrecursevly without -r
[08:37] <joe__> awesome, thanks guys, appreciated
[08:38] <red2kic> gasull: Try closing Firefox and then remove/and/install ubufox. Otherwise, I don't know what's wrong (as I don't use them myself).
[08:38] <geekphreak> joe__: no problemo
[08:39] <red2kic> gasull: Do you want my mimeTypes.rdf (for your own benefits to investigate furtherer)?

[08:45] <gasull> red2kic: thanks.  it works now
[08:45] <gasull> :)
[08:45] <geekphreak> :)
[08:45] <dazhi> Halabund:uname -r
[08:45] <red2kic> Halabund: "lsb_release -a ; echo YES"
[08:46] <red2kic> gasull: :)
[08:46] <rww> dazhi: uname -r is for the kernel version, not Ubuntu version
[08:46] <dazhi> oh, yes, sorry
[08:46] <gasull> red2kic: thanks a lot.  I tried to fix this a few times.
[08:47] <red2kic> gasull: No problem. You might want to change/eliminate my Gmail.

[08:54] <firevai> hi everyone.. i need just a little help
[08:55] <firevai> i'm trying to setup a static ip and i am not sure what numbers go where... lol
[08:55] <firevai> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-static-ip/
[08:55] <firevai> im ahter atm, and i have my info from isp, but a lil confused what number goes where
[08:55] <firevai> i'm using a modem with a built in router
[08:57] <firevai> any admins awake.. i just need a little help please
[08:57] <ikonia> what's the issue?
[08:58] <firevai> im trying to setup a staic ip
[08:58] <DJ_HaMsTa> howdo  ifigure out my hostname ?
[08:58] <firevai> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-static-ip/
[08:58] <ikonia> DJ_HaMsTa: "hostname" is the comment
[08:58] <firevai> thats where i'm at.. just trying to get the right numbers in the right place
[08:58] <DJ_HaMsTa> ah thanks
[08:58] <DJ_HaMsTa> how do i change it ? lol
[08:58] <ikonia> firevai: ok, first some questions, then lets work this through
[08:58] <ikonia> firevai: first, what version of ubuntu is this ?
[08:59] <firevai> 9
[08:59] <ikonia> firevai: 9.04 or 9.10
[08:59] <firevai> 9.04
[08:59] <ikonia> ok
[08:59] <ikonia> is this a desktop install ?
[08:59] <firevai> yes
[08:59] <firevai> i have the file opened in gedit
[08:59] <ikonia> firevai: what file?
[08:59] <firevai> and pasted the example in there.. but i am not sure what goes where. i have my numbers from isp
[09:00] <firevai> interfaces
[09:00] <ikonia> firevai: ok, why are you not using the network admin gui to do this, you should not be editing the interfaces file
[09:00] <ohir> firevai: you need to consult your router manual and configure it with dhcp serving on your lan side. In ubuntu you use default config if you use wired lan.
[09:00] <clotterm> hi. i'm currently trying o build my own alternate installer cd (in order to use kickstart scripts). somehow my usb-cdrom drive is not mountec corrently, I need to load the modules manually (says: no common cdrom drive found). anybody any suggestions how to avoid that?
[09:00] <ikonia> ohir: no he doesn't
[09:00] <firevai> hmm ok kinda lost
[09:00] <ikonia> ohir: he doesn't have to use dhcp at all
[09:01] <ikonia> firevai: are you using gnome ?
[09:01] <firevai> yes
[09:01] <firevai> so i dont need to edit that file?
[09:01] <ikonia> firevai: in the top right of your desktop, a little in from the right, do you see an icon that looks like a network icon/computer icon,
[09:01] <firevai> yes
[09:01] <tp43> you know the f4l program, for flash design on linux, anyone tried it, it doesn't seem to be in the repo
[09:02] <ikonia> firevai: ok, that's gnome network manager, if you click it, what options do you see
[09:02] <ohir> ikonia: he uses router/modem combo IIRC. My experience tells me that configuring dhcp in that gizmo is the only viable option for home network.
[09:02] <firevai> just vpn connections
[09:02] <ikonia> ohir: nope
[09:02] <firevai> i have comcast business line, and they said i have to have a static ip to forward ports
[09:02] <ohir> ikonia: who will teach him/her how to setup his/her mother windoze pc to get it online?
[09:03] <firevai> i use dc++ and cant search or download but people can dl from me
[09:03] <ikonia> ohir: I'm not supporting his windows PC
[09:03] <ikonia> firevai: hang on, one step at a time
[09:03] <ikonia> firevai: lets step back again for a moment
[09:03] <ikonia> firevai: why do you want a static IP ?
[09:03] <firevai> comcast did a firmware update, and killed port forwarding, and i had to get a static ip so i could forward ports
[09:03] <ohir> ikonia: but you are advising him to set static ip on his ubuntu box, right?
[09:04] <ikonia> ohir: no, I'm not advising him to do anything
[09:04] <ikonia> firevai: ok, you're way off base here
[09:04] <ohir> ok. Your client :)
[09:04] <firevai> lol i feel special.. i got two guys fighting over me.. lol
[09:04]  * ohir steps back.
[09:04] <ikonia> firevai: no-one's fight, ohir is actually right based on what you're telling me now
[09:04] <firevai> wish i was a chick.. i'd feel even better lol
[09:05] <ikonia> firevai: you have no reason to set a static IP, you just need to tell your router to port forward to the internal LAN IP
[09:05] <firevai> ok explain that.. forward to internal lan ip
[09:05] <firevai> please
[09:06] <ikonia> firevai: you need to contact your router vendor for support on your router, but the bottom line is you ubuntu machine will get a dhcp address (internal IP) from your router, you then configure the router to port forward to that internal IP address
[09:06] <firevai> i'm in the router/modem config thingie now
[09:06] <firevai> ok i did that allready
[09:06] <ikonia> firevai: each router/modem does it differenty so you'll need to use your routers support services / manuals to configure it
[09:06] <firevai> lemme check something
[09:06] <firevai> brb
[09:07] <firevai> Error: I could not see your service on <IP_ADDRESS> on port (24245)
[09:07] <firevai> Reason: No route to host
[09:07] <ikonia> firevai: you'll need to speak to your router support services to get help setting that up, as that's nothing to do with ubuntu
[09:07] <firevai> i forwarded that port to <IP_ADDRESS> my router ip?
[09:08] <firevai> ok
[09:08] <firevai> hmm
[09:08] <ikonia> firevai: just keep in mind you have no need/reason to set a static IP when talking to your router support as ohir suggested earlier
[09:08] <firevai> wierd.. when i was using my landlords line, when he forwarded a port it just worked fine
[09:08] <SuN__> now reiinstall  linux-headers from live cd to my os ubuntu 10.04 rc1
[09:08] <ikonia> SuN__: ?
[09:10] <iceroot> SuN__: #ubuntu+1
[09:10] <firevai> ok my internal ip would be that <IP_ADDRESS> number probably?
[09:10] <mr_diggles> how do i get my box to allow me to install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`  .. aptitude reports it couldn't find any package that matches that name..
[09:10] <firevai> most others are like <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:10] <mr_diggles> it appears in my /etc/apt/soruces that restricted is already enabled.
[09:10] <ikonia> firevai: you need to contact your router vendor's support services
[09:10] <firevai> mr_diggles, you have to add the repositories in synaptec
[09:10] <firevai> ok ok thanks guys
[09:11] <whomee> when i do a apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) .. does it overwrite my current kernel and configs?
[09:11] <iceroot> mr_diggles: apt-get update
[09:11] <SuN__> ikonia, I can not log gives me a black screen and restarts
[09:11] <ikonia> SuN__: lucid support is in the channel #ubuntu+1
[09:12] <SuN__> ikonia, no correct answer for now
[09:12] <mr_diggles> firevai: check box for proprietary (restricted) is already checked
[09:12] <iceroot> SuN__: but this is not the lucid-support-channel
[09:13] <mr_diggles> can others install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` ?  is documentation for getting the acx wireless module just depricated perhaps?
[09:14] <iceroot> mr_diggles: apt-cache search linux-restricted-modules  after sudo apt-get update
[09:14] <mr_diggles> iceroot: nada .. what does the line in /etc/apt/sources look like to get this enabled?
[09:15] <iceroot> !info linux-restricted-modules
[09:15] <mr_diggles> ubottu: gah! that is what was suspecting..
[09:16] <mr_diggles> so i wonder what the recommended path is for getting these wireless drivers now is..
[09:16] <switchgirl> ho do i ban doubleclick?
[09:16] <whomee> make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.26-2-686/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[09:16] <whomee> how can i solve this? just do a apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)?
[09:17] <mr_diggles> whomee: apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`
[09:17] <whomee> mr_diggles: does that reconfigure anything in my current kernel configs?
[09:17] <mr_diggles> whomee: nope.. in fact it gets you a dissapointing amount of stuff :P
[09:18] <mr_diggles> whomee: but doesn't change anything about current running system.
[09:18] <whomee> mr_diggles: ah goodie :) just need that build file again :) well spank you
[09:19] <ph0xide> how can i disable ipv6 on one itnerface
[09:19] <DjAngo23> Hey everyone. Flashplayer did work perfectly, but since the update Firefox crashes (hang) with site using Flash. I did uninstall flash, now i want to reinstall it. So What I really want is the procedure to fully unistall flash player, and then install the good version. Any help ?
[09:21] <mr_diggles> ahh, linux-restricted-modules were depricated in 9.10 in favor of dkms
[09:21] <mr_diggles> and sadly I know nothing of dkms
[09:22] <mahisastra> i want to compress vodeo file , in ubuntu, what is the command?
[09:23] <mahisastra> what is ns2 simulator
[09:23] <mr_diggles> mahisastra: check out ffmpeg and it's tools.. do a big of googling in that area.  ubuntu has all the mplayer+ffmpeg stuff available but figuring it out will be the fun part
[09:23] <mahisastra> can any one tell me?
[09:24] <mr_diggles> mahisastra: you might look at handbreak if you want a GUI
[09:24] <mr_diggles> handbrake even
[09:25] <mr_diggles> so yeah, major ubuntu doc fail here.. depricate linux-restricted-modules in favor of dkms and then dont' offer how to transition documentation.. bleh

[09:31] <onaogh> i started from terminal, here are the lines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/423244/
[09:31] <onaogh> Vhozard,
[09:32] <Kartagis> how can I upgrade my libc6 to 16? my version is 15
[09:33] <onaogh> Vhozard, googling those errors in google have no result
[09:34] <onaogh> brb, restarting...
[09:35] <whomee> someone have a already finished compiled quickcam module laying around? ;)
[09:37] <Name141> How do you know after using "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" and applying the upgrades , does the machine need to be restarted or now?
[09:37] <Name141> or not*
[09:37] <ikonia> it will say
[09:38] <Name141> ikonia: even in the terminal ? All I have seen is if I login to the GUI
[09:38] <Kartagis> ikonia, how can I upgrade my libc6 to 16? my version is 15
[09:38] <ikonia> even in the terminal
[09:38] <ikonia> Kartagis: why do you want to
[09:38] <ikonia> Kartagis: changing libc versions is highly dangerous
[09:39] <Kartagis> ikonia, I have a problem with nslookup. netadmin said this could be solved with upgrading libc6
[09:39] <meowbuntu> hi how do i get skype for ubuntu 8.10 karmic. there is only an older version. http://www.skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/linux/choose/
[09:39] <meowbuntu> any ideas
[09:40] <Ten-Eight> meowbuntu: that's the one you need.
[09:40] <ikonia> Kartagis: 1.) nslookup is depreciated 2.) changing libc should not be done at all,
[09:40] <Ten-Eight> meowbuntu: it'll work.  works fine on my 8.10
[09:40] <Kartagis> ikonia, even dig cannot resolve it
[09:40] <ikonia> magez: it's 8.10+
[09:40] <ikonia> Kartagis: then it won't be a libc issue
[09:40] <ikonia> magez: sorry that was for meowbuntu
[09:41] <Name141> ikonia: all it said was upgrading libavcodec52 libavformat52 libavutil49 libpostproc51 libswscale0 , then setting up (all of them) , and finally ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[09:41] <Name141> and that was that.
[09:42] <ikonia> Name141: so nothing needs to be restarted then
[09:42] <Name141> OK.
[09:42] <fearfail> hey so I'm trying to set up CoughPHP (ORM) on ubuntu and I'm getting a weird permission denied error from PHP even though I have the include file chmod 777
[09:42] <fearfail> Warning: include_once(/home/user/coughphp/extras/Autoloader.class.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied
[09:42] <Kartagis> ikonia, I take full responsibility, I've to try it
[09:43] <ikonia> fearfail: failed to open stream - not file
[09:43] <Name141> What else can I do with this old machine anyway? It's a P2 450 MHz , 10 GB hard drive.
[09:43] <ikonia> Kartagis: what are you trying to resolve ?
[09:43] <gh> howdy. for some reason my sound is not working... when I first start it makes the noise at the login screen and I can play files via rhythmbox however, there is no applet for volume control and when I goto system/preferences/sound I get "Waiting for sound system to respond" also if I try to launch either gnome-volume-control or gnome-volume-control-applet from the cli I get "WARNING **:Connection failed, reconnecting..." over and over... any ideas? this is 9.10 u
[09:43] <gh> pdated to the latest. I find it strange that I get the 'ding' when the login screen shows up and I can play stuff via rhythmbox but nothing else plays sound...
[09:43] <meowbuntu> Ten-Eight, i have the latest ubuntu 9.10 shesh
[09:43] <ikonia> Kartagis: if dig can't resolve it it won't be a libc issue
[09:43] <ikonia> Kartagis: what version of ubuntu is this on
[09:43] <fearfail> ikonia: elaborate, what's the difference and how do I fix it
[09:43] <Name141> All I got it running is eggdrops and energymechs
[09:43] <Ten-Eight> meowbuntu: it'll work.
[09:43] <Kartagis> ikonia, rapidshare and 9.10
[09:43] <wasmahen> he llo
[09:44] <wasmahen> what does uh-huh means
[09:44] <meowbuntu> Ten-Eight, i need the ubuntu 9.10 format skyp installer unless the older one also works
[09:44] <ikonia> fearfail: if it was a file permissions you would be right changing the ownership of the files, however ask about streams in ##php
[09:44] <meowbuntu> ok thanks Ten-Eight
[09:44] <ikonia> meowbuntu: as I said, the version is 8.10 + (meaning 8.10 and later)
[09:44] <ikonia> Kartagis: what command are you using that's failing
[09:45] <ikonia> Kartagis: when I say what command, exactly what host are you tyring to look up
[09:45] <Kartagis> ikonia, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=161181 here is the problem
[09:45] <Ten-Eight> meowbuntu: it'll work just fine. I installed it on a 9.10 machine for a friend a few weeks ago.
[09:45] <ikonia> Kartagis: that's a redhat bug
[09:45] <ikonia> Kartagis: don't use that as a reference
[09:45] <daiver> Hello!
[09:45] <meowbuntu> Ten-Eight, ok thanks again
[09:45] <daiver> help say me, pl
[09:45] <ikonia> daiver: ask a question then
[09:46] <Kartagis> ikonia, my web browser can't resolve it
[09:46] <daiver> help me, please - how can I restore removed dir?
[09:46] <Ten-Eight> meowbuntu: no problem :)  enjoy!
[09:46] <daiver> I've removed ir in midnight commander
[09:46] <meowbuntu> !ask | daiver
[09:46] <ikonia> Kartagis: can't resolve what exactly, what host are you trying to resolve exactly
[09:46] <daiver> it*
[09:46] <Kartagis> ikonia, rapidshare.com
[09:47] <nsp> Hi! I created a bash script that opens my application that is created with mono but every time i double click the script msg appears asking me what i want to do (execute, edit...). Is there a way to make it so that on double click the schell script would execute and open my program without any messages?
[09:47] <meowbuntu> daiver, also dont ask over and over again
[09:47] <ikonia> Kartagis: ok - I can say for a FACT that is not a libc issue
[09:47] <Vigo> daiver: Is it a package?
[09:47] <meowbuntu> daiver, are you trying to run a windows game in ubuntu
[09:47] <ikonia> Kartagis: I'm using 9.10 and can resolve that fine, and nslookup and dig are not relevant to your web browser
[09:47] <daiver> no, folder
[09:47] <daiver> Vigo: no, it's folder.
[09:48] <daiver> meowbuntu: no.
[09:48] <meowbuntu> oh ok what then daiver
[09:48] <red2kic> !undelete | daiver
[09:48] <Kartagis> ikonia, netadmin said ubuntu with windows in virtualbox has that issue and it can be resolved by upgrading libc6
[09:48] <Vigo> daiver: Can you use or have you used the Recovery Console?
[09:48] <meowbuntu> daiver, also check the trash bin they may be in there
[09:49] <ikonia> Kartagis: do not do it
[09:49] <ikonia> Kartagis: can you resolve any hosts with your webbrowser ?
[09:49] <daiver> meowbuntu: :P
[09:50] <daiver> ubottu: I'll try.
[09:50] <Kartagis> ikonia, other than rapidshare, yes. and my vm can resolve it too
[09:50] <ikonia> Kartagis: ok so the resolver is fine
[09:50] <daiver> Vigo: how can I execute recovery console?
[09:51] <red2kic> daiver: Can you embrace yourself and live with the fact you may lost the folder for good?
[09:51] <Vigo> daiver: It is an option on boot, but what ubottu said is on time also.
[09:51] <meowbuntu> daiver, ubottu is not a person he is a bot. people type in commands to get him to say common stuff like !ask, !help, !vga etc.
[09:52] <fearfail> fuck you ikonia
[09:52] <daiver> meowbuntu: I see
[09:52] <meowbuntu> daiver, read just before ubottu adn see who sent him the command for you
[09:53] <meowbuntu> daiver, as there is alot of common stuff asked having the botto explane it is easy adn fast nd saves frustrations if trying to explane it.
[09:53] <daiver> meowbuntu:  oh, nice +)
[09:53] <Kartagis> ikonia, I get this nslookup rapidshare.com

[09:53] <dayo> what's the difference between gb.archive.ubuntu.com and uk.archive.ubuntu.com?
[09:53] <ikonia> Kartagis: not good
[09:53] <red2kic> dayo: The location of servers.
[09:54] <meowbuntu> Kartagis, please dont spamm the chanel use pastebin
[09:54] <Vigo> daiver: There are many many Data recovery utilities and tools, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[09:54] <dayo> red2kic: they're not both uk servers?
[09:54] <meowbuntu> !pastebin | Kartagis
[09:54] <dayo> red2kic: where's the gb one?
[09:54] <red2kic> dayo: I don't know. Run a test to find out which one is faster for you and use that.

[09:57] <ikonia> Kartagis: yes, a coredump does not look good at all,
[09:57] <ikonia> Kartagis: interesting why it's just that one host
[09:57] <daiver> Vigo: I don't see there anything about recovering dir
[09:58] <Kartagis> ikonia, and the netadmin said this could be solved with upgrading libc
[09:58] <ikonia> Kartagis: who is "the netadmin" ?
[09:58] <Kartagis> ikonia, netadmin of our firm
[09:58] <ikonia> Kartagis: then ask him to support that
[09:58] <ikonia> I would very very strongly advice against it
[09:59] <Kartagis> ikonia, I take full responsibility, please tell me how to do it
[09:59] <meowbuntu> is there any thing else i need to know on how to get my intell sound card working
[09:59] <ikonia> Kartagis: speak to your netadmin
[09:59] <ikonia> Kartagis: if he thinks that will fix it, he will kow how to do it

[10:04] <Ravm> My framebuffer is 80x30, hew can I change that? I'd rather have something a bit more readable.
[10:04] <chelz> Ravm: vga line needs to be passed to the kernel on boot
[10:05] <Ravm> chelz: Ah, in the Grub config?
[10:05] <Vigo> daiver: Bets advice us make a backup, that could recover some system data, I still agree with what ubottu stated.
[10:05] <chelz> Ravm: yeah i've put it in menu.lst, no idea how with grub2
[10:06] <daiver> Vigo: I can't find there anything about my problem.
[10:06] <Ravm> chelz: I'll figure it out, thanks for the help.

[10:07] <androm> :-/
[10:07] <daiver> Vigo: what is the topic?
[10:07] <androm> what could have caused that?
[10:07] <Vigo> daiver: You will see this: Pressing ESC will stop the boot process and bring up the Grub menu. A fresh Ubuntu installation will normally display the current kernel, a recovery mode option, and a Memtest86+ option:
[10:07] <daiver> Vigo: ok. But I'm speaking about what to do in grub
[10:08] <daiver> Vigo: here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - I can't find something about recovering folderas
[10:09] <Vigo> daiver: Once you get to that screen, select Recovery Mode
[10:09] <whomee> can a different computer make a required module for me?

[10:13] <Charbel> should i use the following command from a terminal to install java ???     sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
[10:13] <meowbuntu> not exactly
[10:14] <meowbuntu> Charbel, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[10:14] <meowbuntu> then sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[10:14] <meowbuntu> then sudo apt-get install sun-java6-fonts
[10:14] <meowbuntu> Charbel, did you get all that
[10:14] <krishna__> !aptfix
[10:16] <meowbuntu> Charbel, you can also put an && between each command but you need to put this sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin && sudo apt-get install sun-java6-fonts
[10:16] <meowbuntu> hello Charbel do you read me
[10:16] <Charbel> yes
[10:17] <Charbel> thx
[10:17] <red2kic> meowbuntu: You can add extra packages (ie "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts conky pidgin whatever"
[10:17] <red2kic> meowbuntu: No need for &&
[10:17] <red2kic> Charbel: See above.
[10:17] <Charbel> meowbuntu, what's the dif btw ur command and mine ?
[10:18] <red2kic> Charbel: Nothing.
[10:18] <darkcrimson> Good morning, afternoon, evening all
[10:19] <krishna__> Charbel: You can queue many in the same command....... sudo apt-get install one two three four five six
[10:19] <red2kic> Charbel: Your command is less hassle.  :P
[10:19] <darkcrimson> I am learning Unix/Linux...but need some help with tar and gzip whenever someone is available.
[10:19] <Charbel> ok thank u guys
[10:19] <Charbel> :)
[10:19] <red2kic> darkcrimson: You could use unp if that makes things easier for you.
[10:19] <red2kic> !info unp | darkcrimson
[10:20] <red2kic> !compression | darkcrimson
[10:20] <darkcrimson> Well, my question is...I have a .tar.gz file. Let's call it testfile.tar.gz and I need to not only decompress it, but expand as well. How would I do that?
[10:20] <meowbuntu> Charbel, i never seen it formated like yours always like me with && that is all if your command works then great I have learnt something muyself after 9 months with ubuntu
[10:21] <Charbel> red2kic, i got this command by googling
[10:21] <darkcrimson> The only problem is, I have to use tar/gunzip/gzip
[10:21] <darkcrimson> as it is an assignment issue
[10:21] <red2kic> reijo-nyberg: Sorry for redundant highlights. :)
[10:22] <Vigo> darckcrimson: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
[10:22] <red2kic> darkcrimson: You can read the manual (ie man tar) to see examples and there are endless options too.
[10:22] <darkcrimson> Okay thanks.
[10:22] <darkcrimson> I guess I'll just figure it out.
[10:22] <jotall> Is it possible with a Radeon card to use all three outputs, VGA/DVI/HDMI at once for three monitors?
[10:23] <red2kic> darkcrimson: That's the spirit. :)
[10:24] <Vigo> red2kic: I agree, learning to make things work is better than buying broken things that fix broken things, and so on.
[10:24] <red2kic> darkcrimson: If you don't like to read terminal (because of colors), you can ALT+F2 and type in "yelp" -- Then search for gunzip. Nice and clear format too.
[10:25] <stevecam> 2 days to go xD
[10:31] <xubuntu> hello,can anybody help me with remote file system
[10:32] <Charbel> why i always get this message in terminal ?
[10:32] <Charbel> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[10:32] <Charbel>   linux-headers-2.6.31-11 linux-headers-2.6.31-11-generic
[10:32] <Charbel> Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
[10:32] <FloodBot1> Charbel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:32] <Charbel> ok
[10:32] <red2kic> Charbel: "uname -r" What does it say?
[10:32] <ikonia> Charbel: it means the packages are no longer required and you can remove them
[10:33] <Charbel> what is uname -r ?
[10:33] <benni_> hm?
[10:33] <pat5star> Charbel: just do what it says: sudo apt-get autoremove, you won't see it anymore
[10:35] <nascentmind> hi. Does apt-get source apply the patches of ubuntu once the source is downloaded?
[10:35] <ikonia> no
[10:35] <Maakuth> hmm, this dell latitude d505 hangs completely probably during x11 startup. it's fine with 2.6.32-20-generic kernel, but this happens with 2.6.32-21-generic
[10:36] <Maakuth> lucid with latest upgrades, intel gpu
[10:37] <red2kic> Maakuth: Join #ubuntu+1 for advices and supports with Lucid. Use the previous kernel. :(
[10:37] <nascentmind> ikonia: if i want to develop some code should i get it from the repository of the project or should i get it from apt-get ?
[10:37] <Maakuth> red2kic, alright
[10:38] <ikonia> nascentmind: depends, if you want to build on the ubuntu version then you should get the ubuntu maintained package, if you want to build and update upstream, go to the projects source
[10:38] <minubuntu> Hi all, is it possible to create an ubuntu CD which has an installation footprint of 700MB (max) and still have a display manager
[10:38] <ikonia> minubuntu: it already exists
[10:38] <nascentmind> ikonia: i want to build from the ubuntu version.
[10:38] <ikonia> minubuntu: it's called the ubuntu install CD
[10:39] <Vigo> Alternate LiveCD ?
 but after install it occupies more than 700 MB
[10:39] <ikonia> minubuntu: then strip it down
[10:39] <ikonia> minubuntu: or make your own livecd
[10:40] <ikonia> minubuntu: or use the netinstaller
[10:40] <nascentmind> ikonia: the ubuntu maintained version i have to grab it from the ubuntu repo rather than apt-get source right?
[10:41] <ikonia> nascentmind: no, that gets the source package
[10:41] <ikonia> nascentmind: apt-get source gets it from the ubuntu repos
[10:42] <rock11> hello ppl  any body here  know  how  to linux change remote user password using expect ?
I tried to stip it down but even after removing openoffice and games nothing significant changes in space
[10:42] <joaopinto> minubuntu, did you sudp apt-get clean ?
[10:42] <ikonia> minubuntu: then the answer is no
[10:42] <nascentmind> ikonia: so how do i get it?
[10:43] <ikonia> nascentmind: apt-get source $package as you just said
 yeah I did that
[10:43] <ikonia> nascentmind: that will get the source from the ubuntu repos
[10:43] <nascentmind> ikonia: so i should do that?
 <joaopinto> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/cleaning-up-all-unnecessary-junk-files-in-ubuntu.html. I used link but still no luck
[10:44] <ikonia> nascentmind: do you want the source code from the ubuntu repo yes/no ?
[10:44] <nascentmind> yes
[10:44] <ikonia> nascentmind: then use the command apt-get source $package - it gets the source code from the ubuntu repos as I've said 3 times
[10:47] <delac> Hey! It seems that nebook-launcher has started taking much longer to load the background image, so that now it makes a nasty flicker while starting. Anyone else had this problem?
[10:47] <Vigo> nascentmind: Did you look at the terminal stuff after that?
[10:48] <rui> ?
[10:49] <nascentmind> Vigo: what terminal?
[10:51] <Vigo> nascentmind: Install GtkOrphan in Ubuntu , not sure if that is what you want, is below all the GUI explanations.

[11:29] <worldsayshi> Some fatal error has occurred in my file system, I can no longer boot my default Ubuntu installation on my hard drive. I'm running from my ubuntu live usb stick now. Can I access my files on the hard drive somehow?? I really would like to get hold of them before flushing the hard drive.
[11:33] <grzegostwor> - /sbin/tc qdisc add dev eth0 root tbf rate 64Kbit burst 20kb latency 100ms  -> when try to delete tc tree and again run this command  i get RTNETLINK answers : File exists
[11:33] <Cr-404> Is ther any program for checking raw data from harddrives/usb-pendrives?
[11:33] <grzegostwor> has anyone idea what might be the problem
[11:33] <diffrant> 3/4 years ago i had hard luck using Ubuntu on my desktop & lenovo laptop, several hardware incompatibilities, wanted to but did not get a chance to use Ubuntu since then. Things must have improved since. Now i hear Dell Mini 10 plays nice with Ubuntu, if i get one i should not have much trouble using & learning ubuntu [and python eventually, thts the goal] i suppose?
[11:33] <wildbat> worldsayshi, if your drive still working ^^;
[11:34] <grzegostwor> this tc line work on 9 machines without any erros, but on this particular one it does not want to cooperate :/
[11:34] <diffrant> i figure all i need is the wireless to work, and i can read online docs, try small stuff over the terminal, learn python etc, will a Dell Mini be good for that?
[11:34] <grzegostwor> when i run it once, tc is being set up, no problem ,  but when i stop tc, and fire up new rule it makes those error
[11:34] <wildbat> Cr-404, what you mean by checking raw data?
[11:35] <diffrant> if i dont enable special visual effects 1 GB RAM will be good?
[11:35] <worldsayshi> wildbat: If my drive would still be working, how would I access it?
[11:35] <duffydack> diffrant, I ran with compiz enabled on 1gb and it was fine..
[11:36] <donowan> using kernel-2.6.32. encountering "drm: fill_in_dev" error during boot-up. any solution?
[11:36] <wildbat> worldsayshi, it sould be mounted automatically with your live boot ~
[11:36] <joaopinto> diffrant, visual effects depends mostly on your graphics card, not on the system RAM
[11:36] <monra> Hello. Is there a way to block websites at my Ubuntu. I know I can do this by editing /etc/hosts but then I must write all the subdomains of the domain I want to block. Is there a better way to block a domain name with all it's subdomains?
[11:36] <wildbat> worldsayshi, if not you have to mouct it yourself
[11:36] <Cr-404> wildbat, in windows i had a hex-editor, what could open harddisk, and see how filesystem is done etc...
[11:37] <diffrant> joaopinto: oh, may be Dell Mini cant handle that, but thats okay if i can do other things fine, like learning & writing small shell/python scripts etc
[11:37] <Cr-404> If you wanted, you could write what ever you want on enywhere you want...
[11:37] <done> worldsayshi, nautilus shows the filessystem..
[11:37] <done> worldsayshi, what filesystem?
[11:37] <done> seams to be a hardware fault. dd_rescue to an neu harddisc would be my first step
[11:37] <wildbat> Cr-404, you can do that with Hex editor too in linux just /dev/sda or b or c ~
[11:38] <Cr-404> What about usb-pendrives?
