[03:56] <damo22> maxflax: install a program called sysvinit-rc or something like that
[03:56] <grkblood13> what package includes mediainfo
[03:57] <ZykoticK9> grkblood13, "apt-cache search mediainfo" shows dvd+rw-tools
[03:57] <morrison> okay i got alot of people giving help but is there one person that i can just pull into private chat to help me with this
[03:57] <grkblood13> i have that
[03:57] <grkblood13> its not on the system
[03:57] <damo22> morrison: apt-cache search sysv rc
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  i never use 2 X  serssions so cant say more then i allready have. Use twinview and drag the video playue rto the 2nd monitor is how i do it.
[03:57] <ZykoticK9> grkblood13, did you try "dvd+rw-mediainfo"
[03:57] <kiborr66> hello кто русский
[03:58] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  i recall there being some forum threads on using seperate X displays with twinview also
[03:58] <morrison> yeah is there anyone here who uses xbmc
[03:58] <damo22> !russian | kiborr66
[03:58] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  yes ive used xbmc.
[03:59] <pabl0x> hi
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  some altenatves to xbmc =  enna, moovidia, and a few others,.
[03:59] <maxflax> damo22 - there is a sysvinit-utils ? is that the one.. and what does it do
[03:59] <morrison> okay well you know when you hit the "\" key to take it too full screen it expands it across both the tv and monitor but it doesn't just do it with xbmc it does it with all apps
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  you need to enable TWINVIEW and it wont do that
[04:00] <damo22> maxflax: that is it... it lets you set the bootup scripts manually without messing up the folders of symlinks contained in rc1.d .... 6.d
[04:00] <morrison> the nvidia-setting see the tv i enable it in twin view and it still does it
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  disable xinerama - just use twinview feture, one wide desktpp and apps WILL maxamize to just one display
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  Unless xbmc is silly about handlung full screening
[04:01] <morrison> but it doesn't just do it with xbmc
[04:01] <maxflax> damo22 - how do I run it?
[04:01] <morrison> i could understand it being the program if it was the only program that did it
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  so it does it with Some apps? or all apps?
[04:01] <damo22> maxflax: possibly dont change anything, just run it and see what it looks like
[04:01] <morrison> all apps even the stupid calculator
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  i can drag a xterm or vlc window to  the tv display hit maxamize. and it maxamizes to just the tv
[04:01] <itamarjp> hello, someone can help me to upgrade my mysql to 5.1.43 in ubuntu ?
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> its a twinview/xinerama setting
[04:02] <morrison> okay well how do i disable xinerama
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  you did restart X - not just logged out right?
[04:02] <magn3ts> Is it possible to use a three finger swipe in ubuntu (on a MBP?)
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  the nvidia settings tool has a check  box i reccall
[04:02] <morrison> i did that last command that someone posted awhile back ago
[04:02] <damo22> maxflax: sudo sysvinit<TAB> enter
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> restarting GDM should restart X totally
[04:03] <morrison> sudo service gdm restart
[04:03] <objorn> how do you create a .7z file?
[04:03] <morrison> this was the last command i typed
[04:03] <scunizi> objorn: a program called 7zi
[04:03] <scunizi> *7zip
[04:03] <damo22> objorn: sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
[04:04] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  my xorg.conf for 2 monitors.  i can fullscreen to just one display ---> http://pastebin.com/f3f831df4
[04:04] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  the Xinerama "0" entry i beive turns OFF xinerama
[04:04] <scunizi> Dr_Willis_: does he even have an xorg.conf?  I think it's a fairly new install..
[04:05] <Dr_Willis_> scunizi:  if he ran nvidia-settings it made one.. or should have
[04:05] <objorn> scunizi and damo22, i have that installed, i'd like to know how to create a .7z file
[04:05] <here4thegear> ok, I have pear v 1.7.1 but the majority of the packages I want require v1.4.1 explicitly.. how would I uninstall pear and then install the older version of the installer?
[04:05] <damo22> objorn: man 7zip
[04:05] <morrison> where do i enter that at?
[04:06] <scunizi> objorn: usually (on windows I know) it's a gui app.. so look in your menu for it.
[04:06] <objorn> damo22: yeah, that doesn't help
[04:06] <morrison> in the Xconf
[04:06] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  in the xorg.conf those are the imporntant settings
[04:06] <objorn> think i need to man 7z
[04:06] <morrison> okay here let me show you my xorg.conf setting
[04:06] <damo22> 7z --help
[04:06] <objorn> but still man 7z sucks
[04:07] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  nvidia-settings made that the default for me.

[04:07] <damo22> objorn: you cant expect someone here to have memorized the flags for a program...

[04:08] <damo22> objorn: try 7z c * out.7z
[04:08] <morrison> can i talk?
[04:08] <morrison> okay i thought the flood bot muted me
[04:08] <damo22> or something like that
[04:08] <kinja-sheep> morrison: It did.
[04:08] <objorn> damo22: that's not correct, guess i'll work with it for a few mins
[04:08] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  compare the one i pastebin'd to the one you have. I never had to manyually edit mine.
[04:09] <kinja-sheep> Use unp if you're having problem remembering which commands to extract an array of archives.
[04:09] <kinja-sheep> !info unp
[04:10] <Dr_Willis_> unp - one of my top 10  'overlooked' commands  i always mention inhere :)
[04:10] <damo22> objorn: 7z a out.7z *
[04:11] <objorn> damo22: 7z a output.7z file.bar
[04:11] <Dr_Willis_> ive never really noticed a case where 7z worked any better for me then other archive formats
[04:11] <objorn> damo22: correct
[04:11] <Palace_Chan> is there a flag or way to make stack space executable for a particular binary ?
[04:11] <greezmunkey> l
[04:11] <objorn> how do you specify ultra compression though?
[04:12] <morrison> yours looks comepletely different from mine
[04:12] <damo22> objorn: -m<number>
[04:12] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  the 'section 'serverflags' is teh part thats disabling Xinerama
[04:12] <kiborr66> how can i change language only for Evolution mail?
[04:12] <pixelated> have a system running 9.1, altho hostapd is configed to start (proper link in /etc/rc2.d) it doesnt 'seem' to be running on boot, but works fine when started from shell, and i see nothing in the log about it...
[04:13] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  you could evn try mine, then see if it works.. then run 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and tweak it some more
[04:13] <morrison> i will try yours and see what happens
[04:13] <objorn> damo22: you stuck with me, i respect that
[04:13] <michal_> problems with presario cq60 key mapping
[04:13] <morrison> after all this has been alot of trial and error
[04:14] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  ive spent MANY a hr reading nvidia  docs and stuff :)
[04:14] <morrison> isn't going to hurt it more than what it already is
[04:14] <michal_> i cant disable the mouse pad with button
[04:14] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis_, my xorg (also generated by nvidia-settings) has the <Option         "Xinerama" "0"> in ServerLayout instead of a separate ServerFlags - I'm sure it doesn't make any difference, just interesting that it is different at all
[04:14] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  thers also the command 'sudo nvidia-xconfig --no-xinerama' that Might do it
[04:14] <damo22> objorn: 7z a -mhe=on -pPASSWORD out.7z *
[04:15] <Dr_Willis_> If xinerama is enabled the apps will fullscreen across both displays, From what ive seen
[04:15] <Dr_Willis_> thats normally not what people want
[04:15] <Dr_Willis_> Twinview supercedes Xinerama
[04:15] <morrison> i just think it's interesting that your xconf looks alot different than mine
[04:16] <michal_> How do i disable the mouse pad??
[04:16] <pixelated> michal_, the button in front of it?
[04:16] <Dr_Willis_> the nvidia-settings tool is in need of a Serious upgrade. Its getting Old :)
[04:16] <Dr_Willis_> pixelated:  thas what i do. :)
[04:16] <Dr_Willis_> or the special laptop fn-whatever keys
[04:16] <hal9k2010> hello all, need some help installing ubuntu ppc
[04:16] <morrison> or you can disable the mouse bad through bios
[04:17] <michal_> pixelated: yup..i have a presario cq60 running ubunut 9.1
[04:17] <morrison> or you can disable the mouse pad through bios
[04:17] <pixelated> Dr_Willis_, i rem first time i saw one of those, took me some time to realize it was cause the issues...
[04:17] <damo22> hal9k2010: i installed ubuntu ppc onto a mac rack server once
[04:17] <pixelated> michal_, i saw, my mrs has same one, but runs an unmentionable OS on it...
[04:17] <objorn> damo22: nope, it's the -m switch + some specification of te archive type and x=9
[04:18] <objorn> what you had specified was header encryption
[04:18] <michal_> pixelated: lol
[04:18] <hal9k2010> just got this old imac i think is a 266 , system 9 was corrupted i have no idea of amount of ram
[04:18] <pixelated> michal_, wish she would go back to linux like she had on her old laptop...
[04:18] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  I put ubuntu on my imacDV and lets say... it dident run all that quick
[04:18] <damo22> objorn: read the manual dude
[04:18] <hal9k2010> downloaded ubuntu 6.06 alt install
[04:18] <objorn> whoops, damo22 you had specified multithreaded mode
[04:18] <objorn> damo22: i am, it's how i know this
[04:18] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  256mb ram. 500mhz cpu
[04:19] <morrison> "sudo service gdm" restart this will restart x correct?
[04:19] <michal_> how can i map all my keys???
[04:19] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  yes.
[04:19] <maxflax> my tty:s are gone in karmic - how do I get them to start up again?
[04:19] <Dr_Willis_> sudo service gdm restart
[04:19] <morrison> here goes nothing, be back soon
[04:19] <hal9k2010> i am installing ubu 6.06 now is soooo slow
[04:19] <webbb82> ok im stuck i just instyalled hawkscope but when i try to run it i get this brian@brian-laptop:/$ hawkscope
[04:19] <webbb82> Error occurred during initialization of VM
[04:19] <webbb82> java/lang/ClassNotFoundException: error in opening JAR file /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/rt.jar
[04:19] <damo22> hal9k2010: use xubuntu
[04:19] <pixelated> Dr_Willis_, yeah i made a mistake with debian once and made KDE the default with a Quadra800 i had... Real Time was redefined...
[04:20] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  if i could of found a decent ssh client for OS9 i would of left OS9 in my imac.. tried ubuntu - too slow.. so i got os-x back on it.
[04:20] <Dr_Willis_> OsX and ssh to teh lunux box. :) its a Purty termial now,
[04:20] <hal9k2010> i used a xubuntu 6.06 and boot all the way but never showed the desktop got stock on black screen
[04:21] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  why using such old releases?
[04:21] <michal_> is there a way to see my touchpad key mapping?
[04:22] <deadduck> is there a channel for webmin/virtualmin?
[04:22] <pixelated> have a system running 9.1, altho hostapd is configed to start (proper link in /etc/rc2.d) it doesnt 'seem' to be running on boot, but works fine when started from shell, and i see nothing in the log about it...
[04:22] <here4thegear> ok, I got my pear issue figured out.. -af forces the download of the package that works for me.. yay
[04:22] <hal9k2010> after failure with xubuntu 6.06 i got ubuntu alt install is on 97 % now but it took 4 ever
[04:23] <leofu1> hello
[04:23] <damo22> hal9k2010: possibly not enough ram
[04:23] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  and i relber when those machines were cutting edge! :)
[04:23] <JULinuxUser> What is isolinux/adtext.cfg for?
[04:23] <damo22> must be chugging swap
[04:23] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  more ram is a must. but its not worth buyng more ram for the old things any more
[04:23] <hal9k2010> i have no idea of how much ram is in this old imac so i am using old versions
[04:24] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  old versons do not always mean they use less ram
[04:24] <hal9k2010> i see
[04:24] <ZykoticK9> deadduck, #virtualmin
[04:24] <damo22> hal9k2010: i bet the hard drive is chugging like crazy
[04:24] <Dr_Willis_> once it hits swap.. its using swap.. so it proberly dosent matter
[04:24] <hal9k2010> i am just playing with this... it was free :)
[04:25] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  all i do with my imac is just use it to get a ssh terminal to the linux box :)
[04:25] <hal9k2010> i was thinking installing ubuntu and then change the desktop env. to lxde
[04:25] <damo22> hal9k2010: did you have to load "open firmware" and play with the boot up parameters using command option O F ?
[04:25] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  issue i had was the monitor display was shfted to the left too far.
[04:25] <Dr_Willis_> lxde may work better. i dident try it.
[04:26] <pixelated> hal9k2010, use bash as your UI it would be even faster ;')
[04:26] <hal9k2010> no so far is installing good but very very slow
[04:26] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  i found the ox-s install to be even slower. :)
[04:27] <deadduck> ZykoticK9, thanks
[04:27] <pixelated> after OS9, i went to linux, i couldnt use OSX, i am diabetic and it was waaay too much sugar...
[04:27] <damo22> lol
[04:27] <Dr_Willis_> Ive not tried any newer macs lately. I imagine the os is still as... interesting as it was back then :) OS X Ver 10.3 is what i was using i think
[04:27] <ZykoticK9> deadduck, remember webmin is NOT supported on debian/ubuntu
[04:28] <Dr_Willis_> OS9 had so many good ideas that OSX tossed out...
[04:28] <JULinuxUser> I want to learn more about editing the contents of /isolinux/ on the boot disk. Where can I learn about that?
[04:29] <damo22> JULinuxUser: syslinux
[04:29] <morrison> okay well no errors with your xconf.org file
[04:29] <hal9k2010> Dr_willis  if this install works should i expect same performance as other ubuntus not ppc ?
[04:30] <JULinuxUser> syslinux?
[04:30] <JULinuxUser> damo22 what is syslinux
[04:30] <damo22> JULinuxUser: google it
[04:30] <morrison> but it's still expanding it across both screens and i know it can be contained on a single screen because upstairs on my laptop dual screen i can keep it on a seperate monitor
[04:30] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  No idea how much of a diff it would be  - finding an intel cpu the same clock speed /same ram - would  proberly be just as slow
[04:30] <JULinuxUser> I dd
[04:30] <JULinuxUser> did
[04:30] <ZykoticK9> !remaster > JULinuxUser
[04:30] <hal9k2010> ok
[04:30] <Dr_Willis_> hal9k2010:  just upping the ram to 512mb would proberly 200% boost to speed. :)
[04:31] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  pastebin your current xorg.conf
[04:31] <k4rt33k> Very strange problem. I am able to access irc and some sites but unable to go to gmail and a lot of others.Any thoughts? Everything worked fine till yesterday
[04:31] <morrison> it's the same one as yours
[04:31] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  you reran the nvidia-settings tool ?
[04:31] <pixelated> hal9k2010, my 8500 when i ran linux on PPC   http://home.comcast.net/~sloopym/
[04:31] <Dr_Willis_> It might want to tweak it. depending on other settings
[04:31] <morrison> i opened the nvida settings tools open is there something else i need to do
[04:32] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  did you save the xorg.conf ? check it afterwards?
[04:32] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  pastebin it and lets look at it.
[04:32] <morrison> yes i did save it and i already opened it
[04:32] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  mine was for 2 DVI monitors. it should of changed somthign to be for a tv out.
[04:33] <morrison> ok give me a sec
[04:33] <dharma> disculpen network manager pierde mucha señal o a que se debe
[04:33] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  also theres the command that Might work --> sudo nvidia-xconfig  --no-xinerama             and see what chnges it made ot the file.
[04:34] <deadduck> ZykoticK9, i know. i'm using it on a centos box
[04:34] <morrison> http://pastebin.com/m5d202689
[04:34] <dharma> disculpen network manager pierde mucha señal o a que se debe
[04:35] <JULinuxUser> Zykotick9 damo22 Ya I just checked those sites out. They are lame. They don't talk about exactly what ISOLinux is or how it works. I need somewhere that discusses each and every file in /isolinux/ and what it does.
[04:35] <pixelated> ubottu, es | dharma
[04:35] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  i would rerun the nvidia-settings tool and try to tweak the displays some more. it looks like its still trying the 2 DVI monitors
[04:35] <kd5pbo> What's the default IM client in ubuntu?
[04:35] <morrison> i just ran that command you game me
[04:35] <hal9k2010> almost done with install , wish me luck brb
[04:35] <morrison> i am going to look and see if it changed anything
[04:35] <kinja-sheep> kd5pbo: Empathy or something. I use Pidgin.
[04:35] <flypiper> I have a problem with network manager GUI.. Im trying to set wireless IP and the Gateway box changes to <IP_ADDRESS> after I hit the APPLY button.  I opened a terminal and configured it with ROUTE command and it works fine.  Where do I set the config for the GUI???
[04:36] <Flynsarmy> How can i add gtksourcecompletion to gtksourceview (on 9.10) like this: http://blogs.gnome.org/nacho/2009/12/05/news-on-geditgtksourceview/
[04:36] <Andrew12> does anyone have any idea how to connect to a WiFi network when using Fluxbox?
[04:36] <kd5pbo> kinja-sheep: Do most ubuntu users use pidgin or stick with the default?
[04:36] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:   You have 2 monitors? or a TV and a Monitor?
[04:36] <morrison> tv and monitor
[04:36] <kinja-sheep> kd5pbo: I believe they use whatever they like the most. New users might would stick with the default.
[04:36] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  well one line i thik is wrong at least -> Option         "metamodes" "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +1680+0, DFP-1: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
[04:37] <kd5pbo> kinja-sheep: Thanks.
[04:37] <michal_> what do 'keycode ###' represent? how do i know where to change values?
[04:37] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  dfp = a monitor.  let me plug in my tv and see what it does/changes
[04:37] <morrison> ok
[04:38] <Andrew12> does anyone have any idea how to connect to a WiFi network when using Fluxbox?
[04:39] <pixelated> Andrew12, i am sure someone does, but i sure dont, sorry...
[04:39] <ZykoticK9> Andrew12, if you still have Gnome installed try running nm-applet
[04:39] <JULinuxUser> Hey anyone here know how to get the list of installed packages to output to a text file?
[04:39] <ZykoticK9> !clone > JULinuxUser
[04:39] <Andrew12> thank you!!!
[04:40] <JULinuxUser> Looks like bots are answering me?
[04:40] <ZykoticK9> JULinuxUser, i'm sending them to you
[04:40] <Sarah90> hey guys. im getting a blank screen after boot. i see the ubuntu logo but then screen just goes black. how do i fix this problem?
[04:41] <etzerd> hello all
[04:41] <etzerd> ?
[04:41] <k4rt33k> Sarah90: Are you reaching till the login screen?
[04:42] <Some_Person> Why the hell is ubuntu mounting my iPod so that only root has write permissions? It is a Mac-formatted (HFS+) iPod
[04:42] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: no, i dont see it. the screen is blank. it was working perfectly this morning.
[04:43] <etzerd> I have a Dell Inspiron i5 1764 with an integrade Intel HD video card, everytime I tried to install Ubuntu after the intallation then I reboot the system the screen is all blank. can anyone help me with that?
[04:43] <k4rt33k> Sarah90: why don't you try running a live cd and checking your grub file. Could be a problem there
[04:43] <morrison> dr. willis are you here?
[04:44] <chocotaco123> Hi everyone
[04:44] <k4rt33k> Sarah90: And did you reach the grub stage?
[04:44] <etzerd> it's not only ubuntu. I tried almot all the distro I have the same problem with them all. it seems to me that Linux have a problem the video card that come with this laptop.
[04:44] <ZykoticK9> morrison, he doesn't appear to be here right now
[04:44] <morrison> ok still waiting for him to get back
[04:44] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: yes, i did.
[04:45] <k4rt33k> Sarah90: Then choose a different kernel and try. Any upgrades you recently did?
[04:45] <ZykoticK9> morrison, oh maybe he is Dr_Willis is but he was logged in ad Dr_Willis_ a little while ago???
[04:45] <h0bb3s> :)
[04:46] <chocotaco123> Hi could anyone help me with resizing my drive?
[04:46] <te_> chocotaco123: Sure
[04:46] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: well i did an update this morning and i removed this program i forgot the name. after it went blank i tried a different kernel but no luck, its the same with all of them.
[04:46] <morrison> he went to hook up his computer to his tv to see what changes in his xconf settings so i am waiting for results
[04:46] <etzerd> can anyone help me with the Dell issue here?
[04:46] <chocotaco123> I boot from the live usb and I try to resize it but it wont let me
[04:46] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: so you suggest that i run the live cd and check the grub file?
[04:47] <robson> hi
[04:47] <apipkin> how do i remove items from /tmp/ without being www-data ?
[04:47] <etzerd> I have a Dell Inspiron i5 1764 with an integrade Intel HD video card, everytime I tried to install Ubuntu after the intallation then I reboot the system the screen is all blank. can anyone help me with that?
[04:47] <chocotaco123> Do you have an idea what might be causing this?
[04:47] <te_> etzerd: What is the "Dell issue"?
[04:47] <etzerd> it's not only ubuntu. I tried almot all the distro I have the same problem with them all. it seems to me that Linux have a problem the video card that come with this laptop.
[04:47] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: can't i boot the live and ask it to reinstall the drivers or wahtever is messing
[04:47] <te_> chocotaco123: Why?
[04:47] <etzerd> the integrad graphic card is not working with Linux
[04:47] <chocotaco123> Why am I having trouble?
[04:48] <apipkin> there are about 30 images cached, is there something i can do with grep? like sudo rm -f | grep [\d\s]{32}
[04:48] <te_> chocotaco123: What are you using to resize?  Gparted? or..?
[04:48] <etzerd> the highest resolution it can display is 1024X768 where the laptop support up to 1600X900
[04:48] <chocotaco123> Gparted
[04:48] <k4rt33k> Sarah90: You need to install the whole distro.You wont lose your data if you have a seperate /home partition
[04:48] <chocotaco123> I am using Gparted.
[04:49] <Dr_Willis_> There we go.. DVI mounitor and TV out Xorg.conf file --->   http://pastebin.com/f47530b9
[04:49] <Dr_Willis_> I forget who needed it.. :)
[04:49] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, morrison
[04:49] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: my /home folder is in the same partition as ubuntu partition, will i lose everything?
[04:50] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: i dont mind reinstalling ubuntu but i need to get my stuff out of the partition and i can't access to all folders when i boot from the live cd, why is that?
[04:50] <morrison> yes
[04:50] <te_> chocotaco123: Is it giving you some sort of error?
[04:51] <k4rt33k> Sarah90: You can access all the folders from  a live cd.
[04:51] <chocotaco123> No it's not, it just won't let me.
[04:51] <ZykoticK9> morrison, see Dr_Willis_'s pastebin above?
[04:51] <apipkin> is it possible to use a regex with rm ?
[04:51] <morrison> where?
[04:51] <ZykoticK9> morrison, http://pastebin.com/f47530b9
[04:51] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: oki doki, i will try them again.
[04:51] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: last Q. is there a chance that i can access them files in ubuntu from windows 7?
[04:52] <k4rt33k> Sarah90: Nope. Linux uses ext3/4 formats which are invisible to windows
[04:52] <bmatthew> k4rt33k: not entirely true
[04:52] <te_> chocotaco123: Not sure what to make of it.  I've use gparted a number of times and it works fine.
[04:52] <k4rt33k> Sarah90: There are some programs which do that but they are unreliable
[04:53] <morrison> ah his text color changed no wonder i didn't notice
[04:53] <k4rt33k> bmatthew: Did I miss something?
[04:53] <bmatthew> k4rt33k: there are tools for reading ext2 volumes that will also read ext3/4
[04:53] <chocotaco123> I really hate it because I don't want to install Windows.
[04:53] <morrison> okay let me try this and see what happens
[04:53] <Sarah90> k4rt33k: ahh boohoo microsoft. well many thanks for helping me k4rt33k. really appreeshiyate it XOXOX
[04:53] <k4rt33k> bmatthew: But can we copy files from ext3/4 to windows?
[04:54] <k4rt33k> bmatthew: AFAIK we can't
[04:54] <bmatthew> k4rt33k: yes
[04:54] <te_> chocotaco123: Explain your situation.
[04:54] <bmatthew> k4rt33k: gimme a sec i will grab link
[04:54] <biju> hi
[04:55] <grkblood13> scunizi, i made a script for my computer illiterate girlfriend if you want it
[04:55] <bmatthew> k4rt33k: http://www.ext2fsd.com/
[04:55] <chocotaco123> I need to install Windows because I need Visual Studio for a class.
[04:55] <bmatthew> k4rt33k: i can confirm it works with ext4 i just used it a few days ago
[04:55] <grkblood13> you prolly dont need it
[04:55] <te_> chocotaco123: What do you have now?
[04:55] <grkblood13> ffmpeg and kino together work great
[04:55] <chocotaco123> Ubuntu Jaunty\
[04:55] <natarajan> I'm having bluetooth device  i want to install the device
[04:56] <natarajan> pls guide to me
[04:56] <morrison> okay you are going to like this one
[04:56] <morrison> now the monitor does not work
[04:57] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  play with the nvidia-settings tool and the apply button. Ive been playing with mine for the last 10 min
[04:57] <chocotaco123> I don't get why we have to learn C++ with Visual Studio
[04:57] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  whenyou get it working right use the save button
[04:57] <mawst> I don't understand why flash is such a pain in the arse for 64 bit ubuntu
[04:58] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  i can turn on/off the  tv now on the fly :) i cant have 2 monitors and the tv however ive learned. :(
[04:58] <bmatthew> mawst: its a pain in the arse for any OS but windows
[04:58] <te_> chocotaco123: Back-up the /home files, wipe and install MS Windows and then install Ubuntu again.  Restore your files
[04:58] <greezmunkey> chocotaco123, $$$
[04:58] <morrison> hey what would be the problem if nvidia gives me a save error
[04:58] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  you dident run the tool with gksudo nvidia-settings
[04:59] <Dr_Willis_> morrison:  or you got it real confused
[04:59] <AJ_Z0> mawst: The only real pain is finding the 64 bit Flash plugin for Linux on Adobe's site. After that it should work fine
[04:59] <chocotaco123> I know its because of money, but if I were to buy an OS I would still buy Ubuntu.
[04:59] <morrison> hey i followed the tutorial on how to setup nvidia, and i used that command
[04:59] <Dr_Willis_> I have bought Linux disrto 'box sets' in the past.
[04:59] <natarajan> pls guide to me
[04:59] <te_> chocotaco123: Sure you would.  So would I.
[05:00] <morrison> i mite just have to say to hell with having both
[05:00] <te_> Dr_Willis_: So have I.
[05:00] <Dr_Willis_> if ubuntu was in the store and perhaps came with a good book/stickers/plush tux beanie babie... :)
[05:00] <Dr_Willis_> If it came with a free copy of Savage 2, that would be good.. :)
[05:00] <Dr_Willis_> Or prey.
[05:00] <chocotaco123> I think stickers would do it for me.
[05:01] <chocotaco123> Alright but what is the best way to back up Ubuntu to an external hard disk?\
[05:01] <Dr_Willis_> Ive not even seen any Linux Disrots In a box at stores in ages
[05:01] <billybigrigger_> !iphone
[05:01] <billybigrigger_> !rockbox
[05:01] <billybigrigger_> anyone know if there's anyway to revert back to factory software on my ipod touch in linux?
[05:01] <te_> Really, we shouldn't have / need an excuse to contribute $$$ to an open source project  or distro... But, well, I guess any reason is a good one.  :)
[05:02] <billybigrigger_> say if i want to try rockbox, but decide i want it back to factory apple software, any way to do this?
[05:02] <Dr_Willis_> billybigrigger_:  i would say check the rockbox homepage
[05:02] <chocotaco123> I like to contribute with a little bit of money.
[05:02] <chocotaco123> I'm only a waiter and a student but I still like to help.
[05:03] <te_> chocotaco123: It would only take a little... especially if everyone contributed :)
[05:03] <pRincEss_nHa> aQ gY cnENg nIe
[05:03] <pRincEss_nHa> c q jg btuh tmen
[05:03] <Tresmius> Hey
[05:03] <XRU-BSP> Wireless wont authenticate to WPA router.. Xbuntu 9.1 & intel 5100 AGN wireless card.
[05:03] <te_> Mark Shuttleworth contributed a little ... :)
[05:04] <chocotaco123> I even bought an Ubuntu sweater but I feel like a real big nerd sometimes.
[05:04] <bmatthew> XRU-BSP: install wpa_supplicant ?
[05:04] <te_> ... a little more than me  :)
[05:04] <Tresmius> Some programs don't seem to be able to access my webcam (/dev/Video0) yet flash in firefox seems to be able to access it fine
[05:04] <Dr_Willis_> Tresmius:  that is odd..normally flash has a hard time finding the webcams
[05:04] <XRU-BSP> bmatthew: says the newest version is installed
[05:05] <te_> chocotaco123: Well, if you're a real big nerd, you're a real big nerd
[05:05] <te_> could be worse
[05:05] <chocotaco123> Not in girth though.
[05:06] <mawst> AJ_Z0, have a link by any chance?
[05:07] <abhijit> hello
[05:08] <AJ_Z0> mawst: Try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[05:09] <Tresmius> Well I've exhausted google and tried everything I could find on the web
[05:10] <Dr_Willis_> well its takeing  Morrison  longer to get back this time then befor.. :)
[05:10] <Dr_Willis_> wonder if his xorg blew up the pc.
[05:11] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis_, yikes :(
[05:12] <Dr_Willis_> :)
[05:12] <Dr_Willis_> Sucks that i cant get 2 monitors AND the tv out going at same time on this card
[05:12] <Dr_Willis_> but thats life
[05:12] <scunizi> Dr_Willis_: too bad he doesn't know irssi
[05:13] <seanbrystone> how well do TV's work for computer monitors?
[05:13] <pRincEss_nHa> duh ngebetin
[05:13] <greezmunkey> Dr_Willis_, I fried a monitor years ago foolin' around
[05:13] <Tresmius> aren't modern monitors the same as modern TV's?
[05:14] <diablo-sg> how do you guys set vpn server :)
[05:14] <anto9us> Tresmius, barring a tuner, yes
[05:14] <kinja-sheep> Tresmius: TV are just gigantic monitor with TV Tuner built in. :P
[05:14] <pererik87> quick syntax question   ->  if ["$(lsb_release -cs)" == "karmic"]; then  echo "fuck work"    fi ---->outputs:  [karmic: not found
[05:14] <scunizi> seanbrystone: usually fine but the resolution isn't always the greatest.. my 42" is 1366x800
[05:14] <seanbrystone> ouch
[05:15] <ZykoticK9> seanbrystone, older TVs are like 640x480 or 800x600
[05:16] <Dr_Willis_> yea - its hard to fry a mondern monitor/tv
[05:17] <Dr_Willis_> Ive seen some PC monitors that include a tv tuner that are a bit more $$ then a same sized tv with  dvi inputs.. BUT the res is also better on the pc monitor
[05:17] <Dr_Willis_> so its a toss up whats a better value
[05:17] <stormy-nova> #couchlock
[05:17] <Dr_Willis_> Do you want higher res. or bigger screen
[05:18] <scunizi> From across the room lower rez means bigger letters.. easier on old eyes
[05:18] <MWTC_King> hi
[05:18] <woodyjlw> Xpress 200M hangs when resuming from suspend with DRI (needs KMS)
[05:18] <woodyjlw> what is KMS?
[05:18] <Dr_Willis_> wife always sets her high res monitor to some nasty low res. so everything is bigger...
[05:18] <MWTC_King> how do i setup dial up for GC89?
[05:18] <Tresmius> lol
[05:18] <Dr_Willis_> Font Size = 1 inch. :)
[05:18] <scunizi> MWTC_King: is that a dsl modem or a dialup modem?
[05:19] <MWTC_King> wireless modem
[05:19] <scunizi> Dr_Willis_: get her some goggles :)
[05:19] <Dr_Willis_> scunizi:  she hates to ware her glasses
[05:19] <MWTC_King> actually EDGE modem
[05:19] <natarajan> i had installed my bluetooth device but its not working
[05:19] <Dr_Willis_> hmm. Morrison is still not back. :) heh
[05:20] <scunizi> MWTC_King: that I'm not sure about.. if it needs a username password combo you might try the same setup as a dsl modem using pppoe
[05:20] <MWTC_King> scunizi, its require APN
[05:20] <woodyjlw> is KMS something I can download or install to fix my legacy ATI card in ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04?
[05:21] <pitlimit> s it true that linux has a one-to-one member:thread model?
[05:21] <scunizi> MWTC_King: what's APN? ..
[05:21] <pitlimit> I meant Ubuntu
[05:21] <MWTC_King> lol
[05:21] <pitlimit> As in, if I create a user level member:thread with pthread, that I can be certain that that member:thread will be attached to a kernel level member:thread?
[05:21] <Inidentificable> Hi
[05:21] <pRincEss_nHa> duh pucink
[05:21] <natarajan> hi
[05:21] <MWTC_King> scunizi, mobile broadband require APN.
[05:22] <scunizi> MWTC_King: it's a new term for me... and I don't use mobile broadband.. thus the lack of knowledge there.. sorry. can't help
[05:22] <pitlimit> i meant: As in, if I create a user level thread with pthread, that I can be certain that that thread will be attached to a kernel level thread?
[05:23] <MWTC_King> scunizi, i stopped using ubuntu about a year ago.... now i wanna use it but i forgot how to configure that modem
[05:23] <coolkehon> hi
[05:23] <coolkehon> i'm going to paste something
[05:23] <coolkehon> its about 4 lines
[05:23] <coolkehon> i think it looks cool
[05:23] <coolkehon> everyone cool with that
[05:23] <scunizi> MWTC_King: now if you'd said "access point" network.. THAT I would have understood
[05:23] <coolkehon> you have 5 seconds to say no ore i'm basting
[05:23] <rww> ubottu: pastebin | coolkehon
[05:23] <coolkehon> damn
[05:24] <coolkehon> only 2 more seconds too
[05:24] <Tresmius> camorama says "Could not connect to video device (/device/video0)", why can't it connect?
[05:24] <scunizi> MWTC_King: not sure if this will help but on the first page of a google search http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1047602
[05:24] <natarajan> hello kindly gudie to me
[05:24] <djuser1337> hello
[05:24] <mawst> Thanks AJ_Z0
[05:25] <natarajan> i want  to connect via bluetooth
[05:25] <Jared> hello
[05:25] <Jared> I need help with ubuntu
[05:25] <ssmy> !ask | Jared
[05:25] <Jared> ok
[05:25] <Jared> !ask
[05:25] <mawst> That didn't say anything about 64 bit though
[05:25] <mawst> :/
[05:25] <Jared> !ask l
[05:26] <natarajan> Jared: i want to connect my phone to desktop via bluetooth , i had install bluetooth software
[05:26] <amadeus_> hello my question is where does Ubuntu 9.10 store its video file for configuring screens, is there a file like xorg.conf use to be and I know you can use xorg too just asking
[05:26] <natarajan> pls guide to me
[05:26] <Jared> I'm not tech
[05:26] <Tresmius> hmm
[05:26] <scunizi> amadeus_: check out xrandr for resolution settings.
[05:27] <Tresmius> check /etc/x11/xorg
[05:27] <mawst> aargh
[05:27] <abhijit> :)
[05:27] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  users can have their own settings somewhere in their home. buti dont know the file
[05:27] <amadeus_> scunizi is there a config file laying around somewhere in the system by chance
[05:27] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis thanks will look
[05:27] <Dr_Willis> the xrandr man pages may mention the file
[05:27] <abhijit> Jared: whats ur actual question?
[05:27] <Dr_Willis> wow - i had like 10 old kernels on this old  box :)
[05:28] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis this has always been a mystery, I look it this way, why use xorg.conf if Ubuntu already has me covered
[05:28] <scunizi> amadeus_: probably but a lot off it seems to be dynamic.. the newer releases have gone to xrandr for control.. however you can create your own xorg.conf to override it.
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  ages ago there was no such feature.
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  thats why
[05:28] <Jared> I wanted to install itunes on ubuntu, how can i do that?
[05:28] <mawst> Found it!
[05:28] <Dr_Willis> !itunes | Jared
[05:28] <bazhang> Jared, you cannot
[05:28] <abhijit> !players
[05:29] <Devrethman> Ubottu: You forgot MPD! MPD is the best one...
[05:29] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis but if I can find the config then I can use it its way and get the same results right? Like having two video cards like I do and two screens act as one
[05:29] <Jared> MPD?
[05:30] <abhijit> natarajan which blutooth software you instaled? have u checked their wiki,help or manual?
[05:30] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  for some server/features it has to be done when X starts up - that would be in the xorg.conf i imagine
[05:31] <Jared> how can I get mplayer?
[05:31] <abhijit> natarajan: which blutooth software you instaled? have u checked their wiki,help or manual?
[05:31] <BHoward> Jared, which ipod do you have? if you have an iphone or ipod touch you will need to follow some special directions
[05:31] <Jared> or which one is best one?
[05:31] <Jared> ipod
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  nvidia has  nvidia-tools tool that can apply diffrent changes. but ive never noticed a way to have user 1 have twinbview enabled.. and user2 to NOT have the thing enabled
[05:31] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  it may be possible - but ive not trried it
[05:31] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis I'm aware of that too, yet with xrandr or what Ubuntu uses that works so well its just logical for me to find its config and work from there
[05:32] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  yep xrandr is a good feature/tool its relatively new also. So there can be quirks with some cards
[05:32] <BHoward> @jared sudo apt-get install mplayer
[05:32] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis well with xorg.conf I can get both screens going but.. its like having two screens I can't drag a window to the other one, however I can drag files to and from screens but thats it
[05:32] <Jared> @BHoward which one would be best for ipod?
[05:32] <Jared> how do i put red words?
[05:33] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis thanks for the tip, I'll dive right in
[05:33] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis why not take advantage of a good thing ;)
[05:33] <Jared> thats for terminal?
[05:33]  * Dr_Willis wonders what red words
[05:33] <BHoward> @Jared if you just have a regular ipod you can pretty much use anything
[05:34] <BHoward> @jared yes type that in the terminal
[05:34] <Jared> !ask BHoward ok
[05:34] <ruhiger_detlef> hello
[05:34] <Jared> how do i talk directly to someone? like in red words?
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  for nvidia cards you want to enable twinview  to allow you to have both monitors be one wide desktop
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  your draggng files.. is actually the gnome desktop/wm seeing the changes - so its trying to be smart. :)
[05:35] <pRincEss_nHa> duh ngbetein
[05:35] <BHoward> @jared its automatic when you name is in the text
[05:35] <ruhiger_detlef> Jared, like that
[05:35] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis lol not like windows moving things fully, which I can do with this setup so it has to be possible lol
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  I enable twinview.. i can drag a program from Monitor #1 to #2  normally
[05:36] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis in this setup I have here I"m using xface which I like much ;) will I be able to move files
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  what video card are you using exactly?
[05:36] <Jared> BHoward ok i did type that in there, now it says need password
[05:36] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis you can drag a folder a window to the other screen
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  yes.. the 2 moiniotors are one WIIIIDEEEEE desktop
[05:36] <BHoward> @jared enter your password you set when you installed ubuntu
[05:36] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis 1: Nvidia Geforce mx 200 and Ati Radeon 8500 real old
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  egads.. NVidia AND ati.. good luck  :)
[05:37] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis good just like xp
[05:37] <amadeus_> it'll work
[05:37] <amadeus_> lol
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  enable xinerama perhaps,, and pray.
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  with just nvidia its a simple click click..done :)
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> no idea on ati
[05:37] <Jared> BHoward ok installing it...
[05:37] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis the only thing I have found on xinerama is setting up your xorg, but is there an actual xinerama program or something
[05:37] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  it sounds like you got 2 seperate X sessions, not one X session using Xinerama
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  its a feature of X - not a program
[05:38] <Jared> BHoward ok done, now what?
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> ati and nvidia both have their own specilized Xinerama features/replacement
[05:38] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis xinerama is just something you setup via Xorg right
[05:38] <mod> how can I tell what wireless card my netbook has and find the right driver for it in 9.04?  I've read that it has a Broadcom card and works fine in 9.10, but I'm not ready to fully upgrade yet
[05:38] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  right
[05:38] <BHoward> @jared well its installed so now you can play media through mplayer
[05:39] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis then I have to find out how to get xrandr to do it, I did something like that with my Debian system on this drive
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  thers some   Xinerama "0" or "1" setting to turn it on/off
[05:39] <freeaks> hi there
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> Ive no idea if xrandr can do that or not,
[05:39] <Jared> BHoward how can I get to media?
[05:39] <freeaks> i have a problem with xset
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  since the way you got it now there are 2 seperate X sessions running.
[05:39] <Jared> oh sounds in application
[05:39] <freeaks> when i try to do "xset -r" to stop key auto repeat
[05:39] <nwidger> anyone know roughly how much space a standard ubuntu install takes up?
[05:39] <freeaks> its going crazy
[05:40] <Jared> I'm new to this Ubuntu thing
[05:40] <BHoward> @jared what are you trying to accomplish?
[05:40] <Dasuchin> bmatthew: hello
[05:40] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis well not now but in my Debian but if I put that exact xorg in there it will do the same most deff
[05:40] <BHoward> @jared everybody starts somewhere
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> nwidger:  under 4gb i know :) but a Useable ubuntu setup.. thats another story
[05:40] <Tresmius> I have it on a 150gb partition :P
[05:40] <freeaks> someone can try xset -r ?
[05:40] <nwidger> Dr_Willis: im looking at a SSD HD for a mythbox... wondering if 8GB would be enough
[05:40] <freeaks> is it just me or ?
[05:40] <Jared> BHoward I'm just trying to fix this for my friend...
[05:40] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis is the two seperate displays like I have them setup is that damaging at all, I mean both are 1024x768 at 75hz
[05:41] <Tresmius> windows 7 on the other 350gb, and all my other "stuff" on the 1tb external
[05:41] <Jared> BHoward I have more experince on this than my friend.. he just want to use this like itunes stuff like that
[05:41] <BHoward> @jared it may be a good idea to add the medibuntu repository and install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:41] <freeaks> can i get help here? or this is the wrong place to ask ?
[05:42] <Jared> BHoward how would I do that?
[05:42] <mawst> swfdec is bah
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  i dont see how it can hurt anything
[05:42] <BHoward> @jared https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[05:42] <freeaks> can someone tell me how to stop key auto repeat on ubuntu (karmic)
[05:42] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis that is a relief
[05:42] <BHoward> @jared just follow the directions
[05:42] <rww> f
[05:42] <rww> r
[05:42] <freeaks> hello ?
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> freeaks:  in the config menus.
[05:42] <rww> 1
[05:42] <Dr_Willis> freeaks:  system -> config -> keyboard settings
[05:42] <freeaks> Dr_Willis, thanks for the answer
[05:43] <freeaks> i go look
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> 'exploreign the menus 101' :)
[05:43] <Dasuchin> anyone know if theres a way to navigate tabs in gnome-terminal?
[05:43] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis then I might google xrandr dual monitor setup
[05:43] <Dr_Willis> Dasuchin:  i think theres a keyboard combo. but i never use it
[05:43] <freeaks> Dr_Willis, thanks it seems to work .. i have no idea why xset doesn't work though
[05:44] <bazhang> !xrandr | amadeus_
[05:44] <amadeus_> shazam!
[05:44] <amadeus_> thanks
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> Dasuchin:  gnome-termional sesttings for keyboard -> shows the keys to do it
[05:44] <BHoward> @dasuchin its ctrl-PgUp and ctrl-PgDn
[05:44] <rww> well, that was fun
[05:44] <Dr_Willis> People never look in the menus.. :)
[05:44] <amadeus_> maybe if Xrandr works better it should be used for all distos indeff
[05:45] <rww> freeaks: "xset -r" goes crazy, it's not just you
[05:45] <Dr_Willis> amadeus_:  xrandr is a relatively new feature. so its slowly gaining features/ussage
[05:45] <Dasuchin> Dr_Willis: thanks
[05:45] <pRincEss_nHa> pd kmN siCH orng
[05:45] <kthomas_vh_> is vncserver's access password stored in a secure manner?
[05:45] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis It would be cool if one could set it up on any distro a will via packman or apt-get
[05:45] <freeaks> Dr_Willis, well gfx stuff , like menus, used to never work or didn't provide as much option or flexibility as the command line, so i got used to do stuffs directly in the command line
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> kthomas_vh_:  its in .vnc/passwrd here.
[05:46] <freeaks> rww, thanks for letting me know
[05:46]  * kthomas_vh_ looks again
[05:46] <Dr_Willis> freeaks:  gnome is overriding the X settings i imagine.
[05:46] <freeaks> gnome ...
[05:46] <abhijit> hey natarajana u thr?
[05:47] <Jared> BHoward ok i did install respirotory, now extras?
[05:47] <Tresmius> Well what's the usual reason a particular program can't access /dev/Video0 ?
[05:47] <kthomas_vh_> Dr_Willis, well, it's not plain text :)
[05:47] <datz> hi, I'm trying to install a gnome theme. I deleted one, and am trying to add it back. Says can't add directory over directory. Where are the themes located so I can delete the right ones?
[05:47] <freeaks> maybe its time i erase it .. (gnome) xfce or lxde are looking way better and less bloated ..
[05:48] <tommy^m> hey, i got some problems with the ath9k driver. is i try downloading a iso in wireless mode i will get like bursts of downloading at 2mb/sek and then it goes down to 0kb/sek for 10-30 seconds before downloading again. it takes forever to download an iso??
[05:48] <amadeus_> Dr_Willis this is what I get the NV driver on G80 and higher boards (since 2.0.95), but I don't know if my Nvidia card will support that
[05:48] <tommy^m> i think maybe its an hardware issue
[05:48] <BHoward> @jared yes do this sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[05:48] <amadeus_> whats with this unwanted private message I keep getting from who knows where, about Haiti
[05:48] <BHoward> @jared just copy and paste that whole command string
[05:49] <amadeus_> someone being a troll it seems
[05:49] <Tresmius> just some racist guy
[05:49] <amadeus_> it sure is
[05:49] <amadeus_> he is
[05:49] <bazhang> amadeus_, they have been taken care of; you can set /mode +R if you wish to avoid unregged users PM'ing you
[05:49] <Tresmius> What's the usual reason a particular program can't access /dev/Video0 ?
[05:50] <amadeus_> I didn't know the command thanks :)
[05:50] <Tresmius> and what's the command to register? I don't think I got around to it
[05:50] <bazhang> amadeus_, what irc client? for xchat its /mode nickname +R
[05:50] <amadeus_> bazhang_ xchat
[05:50] <Tresmius> I've used IRC a few times since 2005 but I never really memorised commands or anything
[05:51] <Dr_Willis> its /mode dr_willis +R     In weechat also
[05:51] <amadeus_> bazhang_ I have to have their name then?>
[05:51] <Tresmius> I expected /register would work
[05:51] <bazhang> just changed with the new ircd
[05:51] <happyface> how do I fix "wireless is disabled" in gnome-network-manager?!
[05:51] <bazhang> amadeus_, no your nickname: /mode amadeus_ +R
[05:51] <Dr_Willis> I wonder how to make weechat rember that
[05:52] <amadeus_> I'm actually almark, amadeus is my name on my machine lol silly I didn't change it
[05:52] <bazhang> ok
[05:52] <abhijit> happyface: right click on network icon and select enable wireless after switchin on the wireless button
[05:53] <happyface> abhijit: that option is greyed out, but I see my device with "iwconfig"
[05:53] <abhijit> happyface: have u switch on wireless button that is on ur laptop or ur router?
[05:53] <mjs7231> Hey Guys, I just installed an Partial Upgrade in Karmic, and now my MacBook Pro won't boot using the latest kernel.
[05:53] <mjs7231> How do I force it to always use the older one?
[05:53] <happyface> abhijit: it's definitely enabled
[05:53] <IdleOne> Dr_Willis: what does +R do?
[05:54] <bazhang> IdleOne, blocks unregged nicks from PM'ing you
[05:54] <IdleOne> bazhang: ahh, thanks
[05:55] <mee> Hi. I'm trying to upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 using "do-release-upgrade" or "update manager" (GUI). I want to download  the packages myself (with axel, download accelerator) and copy them to /var/cache/apt. How Can I find the name/url of the packages?
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  supposubly blocks messages from non0-regged users
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> IdleOne:  I guess i will see  if it works
[05:56] <Dr_Willis> Im not sure how to put more t hen one on connect command in weechat :)
[05:56] <abhijit> happyface: whats definitely enabled? the button or the setting?
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> so i will have to rember the +R i guess
[05:57] <abhijit> happyface: then its that u may dont have the drivers
[05:57] <happyface> abhijit: the wifi is definitely enabled, I see it with nm-tool and iwconfig
[05:57] <mee> Any ideas?
[05:57] <Sarah90> hey is it possible to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit without reinstalling ubuntu?
[05:57] <bazhang> Sarah90, no
[05:58] <abhijit> happyface: in my case when i switch off the wireless button the button is red, when i press it to turn on it becomes blue and then i can click on enable wireless
[05:58] <Sarah90> what is the difference between 32bit and 64bit? i never quite understood it
[05:58] <montyboy> mee, any mirror will suffice
[05:58] <happyface> abhijit: I think it's more complicated than that
[05:58] <abhijit> happyface: ok
[05:59] <montyboy> mee, but your in for a painful ride if you're going to do all that package by package
[05:59] <mee> montyboy: that's not the problem. I just need a list of files to download (from any mirror as you said)
[05:59] <abhijit> happyface: then try for installing the appropriate drives
[05:59] <mee> montyboy: something like download script in Synaptic
[05:59] <happyface> abhijit: how do I do that?
[05:59] <Almark> is grandr just a front end for xrandr?
[06:00] <abhijit> happyface: no i dont have deep knowledge of drivers better ask someone else
[06:00] <happyface> thanks for your help abhijit
[06:00] <montyboy> mee, dpkg –get-selections will give you a list
[06:00] <BHoward> @mee http://www.planetoss.com/detail.php?id=13 this may help. It goes through some of the process you have been talking about
[06:01] <abhijit> happyface: you can get the details of wireless card with lspci and then search for drivers of that card
[06:01] <abhijit> happyface: lspci | grep -i net
[06:01] <Dr_Willis> Almark:  its a panel applet i think. SO yes.
[06:01] <BHoward> @mee step 9 starts doing the download script
[06:01] <Flynsarmy> How can i add gtksourcecompletion to gtksourceview (on 9.10) like this: http://blogs.gnome.org/nacho/2009/12/05/news-on-geditgtksourceview/
[06:02] <Almark> Dr_Willis I see
[06:02] <Almark> Dr_Willis and thank you for your help thus far :)
[06:02] <tommy^m> hey guys, i get some problems with ath9k driver. here is some output from kern.log http://www.pastebin.org/91442
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> Almark:  so many neat panel applets.. :) so little time
[06:02] <Dr_Willis> Almark:  and so little panel space
[06:02] <happyface> abhijit: I have proper drivers (iwlagn) which normally work, but recently my wireless hasn't been working
[06:02] <Almark> lol
[06:03] <abhijit> happyface: search in ubuntu forums there are lots of this type of questions. you may get one of them similar to you and may found your answer
[06:03] <Yatch> hi, when i try use sudo update-grub in ubuntu kamic, say /etc/default/grub no found, why?
[06:03] <abhijit> happyface: search in network forum of ubuntu forum
[06:03] <happyface> thanks
[06:04] <mee> montyboy: can you explain the whole process of upgrading with your solution? I just know about do-release-upgrade or the GUI
[06:04] <endriago_> hola
[06:04] <Almark> Dr_Willis_ years ago 1999 to be exact on Redhat I was using a 800 x 600 screen and was allowed to move off the screen and it was like having a huge screen but one monitor, the screen moved until it hit the edge
[06:04] <Almark> Dr_Willis_ what was that?
[06:04] <Almark> Dr_Willis_ it was cool :)
[06:04] <endriago_> alguien que hable espa;ol_
[06:04] <montyboy> mee, are you doing this to speed up the downloads or do you need to do an offline upgrade?
[06:05] <endriago_> castellano
[06:05] <mee> montyboy: speed
[06:05] <montyboy> mee, then save yourself a lot of headache and change your apt sources to a mirror that's 1. close 2. fast
[06:05] <tommy^m> Almark: multiple desktops?
[06:05] <Almark> Dr_Willis_ something like that might still come in handy
[06:06] <tommy^m> you have 2 workspaces in ubuntu as default
[06:06] <Almark> tommy^m back then no no lol just one screen but you could move your mouse to the edge of the screen it the desktop would move I was using NeXT in linux the windows manager
[06:06] <Yatch> hello
[06:06] <tommy^m> yea you still have that
[06:06] <Yatch> ?
[06:07] <tommy^m> but you dont move with the mouse
[06:07] <mjs7231> Hey Guys, I just installed an Partial Upgrade in Karmic, and now my MacBook Pro won't boot using the latest kernel.  How do I default to the older Kernel?
[06:07] <Almark> tommy^m not like today with different desktops one computer but like one huge desktop that moved when you hit the edge
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> Almark:  thats a feature of X to have a larger then normal screen virtual screen. it was common years ago -  these days if peipole see it  they think its a bug.
[06:07] <montyboy> mee, ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors check out the list and pick one near you and test it out
[06:07] <tommy^m> Almark: try ctrl + alt and right arrow
[06:07] <mee> BHoward: I'm trying to upgrade a release
[06:07] <Dr_Willis> Almark:  i cant even get the feature enabled on my Netbook which would be handy on it
[06:07] <Almark> tommy^m ok
[06:08] <axisys> where does the ubuntu wallpapers are saved? i wanted to download about twenty of them and make it available for my desktop
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> Almark:  i used it ages ago with gimp to edit largeimages
[06:08] <tommy^m> axisys: where ever you want
[06:08] <Almark> tommy^ its not the same my friend
[06:08] <BHoward> @mee if you going for speed then i would do what monyboy said. much easier
[06:08] <tommy^m> Almark: hmm ok :/
[06:08] <axisys> tommy^m: ok
[06:08] <Almark> Dr_Willis_ it was cool huh
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  i make a Wallpapers directory i use
[06:08] <Yatch> some can help me?
[06:08] <Almark> Dr_Willis_ like having a gigantic desktop
[06:08] <k0rbis> Whats the difference between Wine and PlayOnLinux?
[06:08] <montyboy> Yatch, what's up?
[06:08] <tommy^m> axisys: you can add the location of your wallpapers to gnome
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> k0rbis:  PlayOnLinux uses wine - its a front end
[06:09] <mee> thanks
[06:09] <Almark> Dr_Willis_ for retro sake I want to do it again lol
[06:09] <k0rbis> Front End? Whats that mean?
[06:09] <tommy^m> anyone having problems wth ath9k wireless driver?
[06:09] <Tresmius> Graphical user interface
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> k0rbis:  it uses wine.. its not a replacement
[06:09] <Yatch> hmm, whne i try use update-grub, i get /etc/default/grub not found
[06:09] <BHoward> @k0rbis it just an easy to use interface
[06:09] <Yatch> when*
[06:09] <k0rbis> Ah so its just an add on for Wine, correct?
[06:09] <k0rbis> I see ok thank you.
[06:09] <tommy^m> Yatch: do you have that file?
[06:09] <Yatch> yes
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> its a tool that uses wine.. its not an addon for wine. :)
[06:09] <tommy^m> Yatch: ls -l /etc/default/grub
[06:09] <Yatch> exist
[06:09] <ng0n> wine is the 'engine' inside Play...
[06:10] <k0rbis> Yeah I got Wine installed right now.
[06:10] <Tresmius> What's the usual reason a particular program can't access /dev/Video0 ?
[06:10] <Sumit> if I create a new folder from another application 'Dolphin' dont display it immediately, i need to refresh, but with 'Nautilus' its not necessary, are there any settings in Dolphin to avoid manual refresh???
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> it pays to be exacting with words on  computers
[06:10] <tommy^m> Yatch: try reinstalling grub then maybe
[06:10] <ng0n> it pay anytime
[06:10] <k0rbis> Had a few problems installing games, I'm sure its my ATI video card..
[06:10] <Yatch> hmm i have tried, but i get error 127,
[06:10] <axisys> Dr_Willis: thanks
[06:11] <axisys> tommy^m: how ?
[06:11] <montyboy> Yatch, what steps have you taken to re-install grub?
[06:11] <axisys> tommy^m: i think u meant dir by location.. i thought u meant url .. thanks
[06:11] <tommy^m> axisys: rightclick the desktop and choose change desktop background, then click the  "Add..." button
[06:12] <BHoward> @korbis I always have weird problems with wine and games. Sometimes it will kill my samba service, leave me at a strange resolution, or just remove share permissions from folders. Lol just seems like too much hassle
[06:12] <axisys> tommy^m: understood.. thanks
[06:12] <magn3ts> I'm having major apt problems with my kernel/modules: http://pastebin.ca/1795980 I'm scared to reboot. Can someone help me resolve this? Thanks!
[06:12] <tommy^m> allright =)
[06:12] <Almark> Dr_Willis_ You know it was like what I see on the Win 7, I have xp ;) on youtube ppl use zoom in and roam around their screen, that was what it was like but it was cool
[06:12] <k0rbis> Lol yeah its a big hassle for games
[06:12] <Yatch> apt-get remove, using synaptic, choosing reinstall
[06:12] <k0rbis> And first off, Linux isn't made for the gaming world. Just stick with the consoles.
[06:13] <Sum_it> if I create a new folder from another application 'Dolphin' dont display it immediately, i need to refresh, but with 'Nautilus' its not necessary, are there any settings in Dolphin to avoid manual refresh???
[06:13] <Yatch> i wanna install, burg
[06:13] <BHoward> @k0rbis I have however had a high amount of success using cedega. None of the oddball problems. I even get better frame rates on some games then I do in windows
[06:13] <magn3ts> never mind, it looks like I need to do a dist-upgrade
[06:14] <montyboy> magn3ts, not htat big of a deal. you're using a backport for your alsa sound and it was compiled against the older kernel
[06:14] <k0rbis> Yep, I had a friend help me install Call of Duty MW2 on Ubuntu and I get about 20fps more
[06:14] <ZykoticK9> is there an equivalent to FreeBSD's "nullfs" to allow you to mount a directory instead of a partition?
[06:15] <magn3ts> montyboy, actually it looks like alsa backport got installed but the kernel that it was based on didnt
[06:15] <cf-r3> ls
[06:15] <magn3ts> it should be working itself out right now
[06:15] <Tresmius> gaming consoles sucked after the PSX :P
[06:15] <mjs7231> Hey Guys, I just installed an Partial Upgrade in Karmic, and now my MacBook Pro won't boot using the latest kernel.  How do I default to the older Kernel?
[06:16] <montyboy> magn3ts, MBP 5.x?
[06:16] <Tresmius> What's the usual reason a particular program can't access /dev/Video0 ?
[06:16] <ZykoticK9> mjs7231, holding SHIFT after BIOS "should" show you the grub menu, where you can select the old kernel.
[06:16] <magn3ts> montyboy, hehe, yes.
[06:16] <tommy^m> mjs7231: check out youre grub config
[06:16] <magn3ts> montyboy, how'd ya know
[06:16] <BHoward> @tresmius something else migh be using it at the same time
[06:16] <montyboy> magn3ts, me too - are you trying to dist-upgrade to 9.10?
[06:16] <magn3ts> montyboy, no, but I just installed 9.10 and I'm trying to fix the audio
[06:17] <montyboy> ah, ok
[06:17] <Tresmius> Well various websites that use flash to access the webcam seem to be able to access it fine (firefox)
[06:17] <magn3ts> right now my headphone jack doesn't work, and it looks like I'm going to have to patch alsa so that when the headphone jack comes on, it mutes the speakers. The MBP doesn't do it in the hardware
[06:17] <mjs7231> tomatoes7, I am able to load the last kernel in the Grub menu, and I actually found a way to make grub remember the last selected option on boot.  Now I am worried.. If one more kernel comes out, won't my current *working* kernel be removed from the list?
[06:17] <mjs7231> very scarry
[06:17] <ClearNick> greetings.
[06:17] <montyboy> magn3ts, where did you get the backport alsa?
[06:17] <magn3ts> or apparently the firmware either

[06:18] <tommy^m> mjs7231: also you might want to backup the working kernel from /boot/vmlinuz
[06:19] <montyboy> magn3ts, use the ppa mactel repo
[06:19] <TruthLiker> :)
[06:19] <magn3ts> montyboy, I have it added already

[06:23] <magn3ts> :[ also, this is still not working properly :[
[06:23] <FloodBot1> rethus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:24] <joot> How do I get to use alt/del/backspace in Karmic??
[06:24] <rethus> and here it comes http://pastebin.com/d3837f45b

[06:24] <Dr_Willis> !dontzap
[06:25] <montyboy> magn3ts, have you rebooted into the new kernel?
[06:26] <IdleOne> rethus: after karmic there should be "main" or something similar
[06:26] <IdleOne> rethus: at the end of the line that is
[06:26] <magn3ts> montyboy, no
[06:26] <montyboy> magn3ts, do it, your old one is still there
[06:26] <magn3ts> what do you mean its still there?
[06:27] <montyboy> magn3ts, do a uname -r and tell me what it reads
[06:27] <magn3ts> 2.6.31-14-generic
[06:27] <rethus> IdleOne: what did this parms mean?
[06:27] <rethus> main = same folde, and multiverse is the subfolder multivers?
[06:28] <montyboy> magn3ts, ok, so when you reboot you will have 2 choice (at least) you will have 2.6.31-14 and 2.6.31-20
[06:28] <montyboy> magn3ts, boot into the new one and then try the alsa package again
[06:28] <IdleOne> rethus: where did you get that deb line from?

[06:28] <joot> I lost my connection  please repeat instruction for ctr/alt/backspace
[06:28] <rethus> problem is, that on the server are no subfolders like main, restricted, multiverse or universe

[06:35] <billy12> whats the bin name for "hardware drivers"?
[06:35] <mgoat> hi, trying to create a USB karmic installer from a hardy CD (out of cd-r's),  is it possible?
[06:35] <mgoat> I need ext4 support
[06:35] <Elv13> yes it is
[06:35] <BHoward> '@mgoat look up unetbootin
[06:35] <Elv13> mgoat: but use something newer than hardy
[06:36] <mgoat> Elv13: i will use karmic
[06:36] <BHoward> @mgoat http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[06:36] <mgoat> i'm stuck in a hardy live cd
[06:36] <mgoat> thanks BHoward
[06:36] <Elv13> mgoat: Ext4 was young when 8.04 came out, I think it was not supported as an install time option, you had to manually upgrade your file system after install
[06:37] <mgoat> elv13, i know this
[06:37] <mgoat> thanks though
[06:38] <nanotube> mgoat: you can use usb-creator to make a liveusb out of a livecd image
[06:39] <BHoward> I like using unetbootin mainly because you can easily download your distro through it. Plus it wont completely format your flash drive to use it.
[06:39] <BHoward> Found out the hard way that the ubuntu usb creator likes to format everything...
[06:40] <Dr_Willis> theresd a windows only alternative to unetbootin called linuxloader - it has some features not in Unetbootin. but has other issues
[06:40] <nanotube> BHoward: from the unetbootin website: "If you are having trouble with the Linux version, try the Windows version, it usually works better."....  so does using it from linux actually work?
[06:40] <BHoward> i have never tried it. have to check it out
[06:40] <BHoward> @nanotube I use it all the time
[06:41] <nanotube> BHoward: hrm.. ok. a little strange for them to be saying that, then... :)
[06:41] <BHoward> @nanotube in fact its in the repos but im not sure which version. sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[06:41] <billy12> Im sorry to bother ya'll, but dose any know what the BIN file name for "Hardware Drives" is in 9.10?
[06:41] <BHoward> @nanotube I have never had a problem. been lucky i guess
[06:42] <cira> list ?
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> billy12:  jockey-gtk i think
[06:42] <nanotube> BHoward: heh ic. never used it myself - only used usb-creator once for a netbook without a cd drive. ;)
[06:43] <billy12> Dr_Willis, perfect thank you!
[06:43] <BHoward> @nanotube now I prefer doing almost all linux installs from USB. Much faster
[06:43] <Almark> good night all :)
[06:44] <nanotube> BHoward: yea now that i'm onto the whole liveusb concept, i think my cd burning days are behind me. :)
[06:45] <Guest274> I want to install jre-6u18-linux-i586.rpm package in my ubuntu but I am unable to do, Help!
[06:45] <[Bain]> could someone please twell me where my xorg.conf is hiding in ubuntu ?
[06:46] <mod> where it is on most xorg based distros
[06:46] <mod>  /etc/X11
[06:46] <BHoward> @nanotube http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/plop-boot-manager-lets-you-boot-from.html  This will let you do usb installs on older computers without bios usb support
[06:46] <nanotube> !rpm | Guest274
[06:46] <Guest274> How to change permissions of any file
[06:46] <joot> guest274: rpm's are for a red hat system
[06:46] <nanotube> !chmod | Guest274
[06:46] <Guest274> Yes I want to install rpm
[06:47] <ubuntudude> on a dual core with 4gb ram would i notice the speed differences of gnome and xfce?
[06:47] <dmerricka> is there a command for showing what modules are being used by what interfaces?
[06:47] <Guest274> Oh Isn't it for ubuntu?
[06:47] <[Bain]> mod: appears there arent any video or driver settings in that file
[06:47] <[Bain]> is it a second location ?
[06:47] <joot> guest274: NO
[06:48] <nanotube> Guest274: your best bet is to just install the sun-java6-jre package from the ubuntu repos. no need to be messing around with rpms from sun.
[06:48] <mod> bain your prolly using default generic drivers
[06:48] <Guest274> Actually I am trying to install logmein on my pc, therefore I was installing rpm as they said that we need rpm because ubuntu is debian based
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> that makes no sence
[06:48] <nanotube> Guest274: that's precisely wrong. debian-based means we use .deb packages, not .rmps.
[06:48] <TheMusicGuy> I am trying to create a bzr branch on an NTFS filesystem, and bzr is giving me odd behavior.
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> :)
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> !apt
[06:49] <fen`> hmm im seeing some really odd things reported by mount and mtab
[06:49] <TheMusicGuy> Is there anything "special" I need to do to get bzr to work on an NTFS filesystem?
[06:50] <ubuntudude> on a dual core with 4gb ram would i notice the speed differences of gnome and xfce?
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> ubuntudude:  doubtfull
[06:51] <todkon> Hello, I'm having a problem with getting Skype to configure correctly in Ubuntu 9.10, the audio settings only give me "PulseAudio server (local)" as an option, when I make a test call it claims it has failed.. I cannot for the life of me find a solution using Google, someone please help!
[06:51] <mod> ubuntudude both of those attributes have little to do with the speed of those things
[06:51] <Guest274> Okey I am install sun-java6-jre packages
[06:51] <ubuntudude> mod, really?
[06:51] <mod> yep, those have most to do with the speed and ram on your video card
[06:52] <nanotube> TheMusicGuy: something like this is your error? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/190725
[06:52] <mod> just like you'd talk about chipset and cache for a harddrive
[06:52] <nanotube> Guest274: good choice. :)
[06:52] <ubuntudude> so there's really no difference in speed of the DE of either?
[06:52] <joot> guest274: Yep
[06:52] <mod> no idea what a DE is
[06:52] <ubuntudude> desktop environment
[06:52] <ubuntudude> xfce gnome
[06:52] <TheMusicGuy> nanotube:  I do "bzr init" in my project directory, then "bzr add trunk", then "bzr commit", and I get a pointless commit error.
[06:52] <hyperstream> is there any way i can tell if im using my online internet usage or lan (streaming music on the lan, but all the net is a bit slow on the two wireless pc's , not sure if its just the wifi slowing or if its going on the internet live
[06:53] <TheMusicGuy> nanotube: when I do "bzr status" I get "unknown: <new line> trunk/"
[06:53] <Jared> hey
[06:53] <Jared> I need help
[06:53] <Jared> I want to play big fish games on ubuntu
[06:54] <nanotube> TheMusicGuy: hrm.. no idea. any chance you might use a "normal" filesystem instead to solve the problem? :)
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  so?
[06:54] <TheMusicGuy> nanotube: not easily, no
[06:54] <Jared> Dr_Willis I want to play bigfishgames on ubuntu, how can I do that?
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  some work in wine. some dont
[06:54] <Dr_Willis> !wine
[06:55] <TheMusicGuy> Apart from this issue, my NTFS partition mixes in pretty well with the rest of my system
[06:55] <mod> w.i.n.e. is also c.r.a.p.
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> mod:  so are random comments on irc, :)
[06:55] <fen`> can anyone explain this? http://pastebin.com/m50f3db2d
[06:55] <mod> hmm that wasn't random
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> i can play a great many bigfish games in wine.. some dont work hopwever
[06:56] <Jared> sally ones will work?
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | Jared
[06:56] <alohadoubt> is there a guide to setup phpmyadmin (manually) in ubuntu 9.04 ?
[06:57] <nanomachine> fen`, what about it?
[06:57] <so0ky> hello.  I do the sudo apt-get install openssh-server command in Ubuntu Server and I get package has no installation candidate.  what is going on?
[06:57] <fen`> mount says /dev/md0 is mounted on /, its not, /dev/sda1 is, /dev/md0 is 750GB not 240.
[06:57] <Flannel> so0ky: Is this a fresh install?
[06:57] <so0ky> yes
[06:57] <Jared> Dr_Willis I see, only 20 games will work?
[06:58] <Flannel> so0ky: `sudo apt-get update` then try again
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  no...
[06:58] <so0ky> okay
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  thers proberly 20 'comments' on differnt games
[06:58] <ubuntudude> so neither gnome nor xfce will have a speed difference?
[06:58] <Jared> Dr_Willis http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?bIsQueue=false&bIsRejected=false&sClass=vendor&iId=4166&sAction=view&sTitle=View+Developer
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> ubuntudude:  on a hight end machoine  it wont be noticeable
[06:59] <ubuntudude> although i'm sure kde seems slow no matter what its on lol
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  so? there are 20 entries in the database.. that dosent mean that ONLY those 20 work
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  try your game and see. thats the definitive answer
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  i have several dozen that do work
[06:59] <rothsdad> how to display chinese in mplayer?
[06:59] <Dr_Willis> and a few that dont
[06:59] <joot> Jared: on some win apps you need the origigal .dll
[06:59] <fen`> nanomachine, any ideas?
[06:59] <millertimek1a2m3> !backup
[07:00] <Jared> Dr_Willis ok example... sally's spaw
[07:00] <Jared> *spa
[07:00] <almoxarife> rothsdad: have chinese fonts installed?
[07:00] <nanomachine> fen`, where is the conflicting information to explain? I don't see anything about /dev/sda1 being mounted on /
[07:00] <rothsdad> almoxarife: yes, Ive installed
[07:01] <rothsdad> almoxarife: but no use
[07:01] <Jared> i get error when I try to open it
[07:01] <alohadoubt> is my msgs ignored. i feel like i was chatting on machine asking same questions many times. anyone here knows how to manually install phpmyadmin on ubuntu9.04 ?
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  try the lat6est wine. run the installer from the cli. look for errors
[07:01] <almoxarife> rothsdad: the playlist in chinese?
[07:01] <Jared> my wine is 1.1.38
[07:01] <ubuntudude> i noticed i can't install gyachi on 64 bit ubuntu i wonder why
[07:01] <rothsdad> almoxarife: no
[07:02] <fen`> nanomachine, the size of /dev/md0 is 750GB, df reports / as being a total of 220GB, mount says /dev/md0 is mounted on /, this is conflicting.
[07:02] <ubuntudude> i try to import the ppa and it doesn't work like it did in 32 bit
[07:02] <almoxarife> rothsdad: you want the player to translate it?
[07:02] <Jared> Dr_Willis: I'm not sure what to do..
[07:02] <rothsdad> almoxarife: but smplayer works well
[07:03] <Jared> Dr_Willis: How do I open it with wine?
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  thers No guarentees that it will work at all.. or ever work.  if that database dont mention it0- check the wine forums and perhsaps #winehq
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  wine pathtoinstraller.exe
[07:03] <Jared> Dr_Willis: what is that for?
[07:03] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  in some cases ive had to use cracked versions to get them to work in wine
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  wine /path/to/windowsapp/whater.exe is how you run a windoes app in wine
[07:04] <fen`> nanomachine, interestingly if i create a folder, then mount /dev/sda1 that folder along with the rest of the filesystem appears on it.
[07:04] <Sogekingu> hi I am limited to 800x600 display resolution, anyone can help me? I am running xubuntu.
[07:04] <Jared> Dr_Willis is that for terminal?
[07:04] <hyperstream> is there any way i can tell if im using my online internet usage or lan (streaming music on the lan, but all the net is a bit slow on the two wireless pc's , not sure if its just the wifi slowing or if its going on the internet live
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  of course
[07:04] <hyperstream> somethign to monitor the internet and ignore the lan
[07:05] <nanomachine> fen`, since it is mirrored, wouldn't the size show up as half?
[07:05] <Guest274> In Ubuntu I can not install or download two things at a time, is there any application which allows us to do multitask in linux
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> Guest274:  the packagate manger has that limit to keep thigs sane.
[07:06] <almoxarife> hyperstream: I use wireshark, it can be filtered to remove the lan from the traffic log
[07:06] <Sogekingu> anyone can help my 800x600 xubuntu problem?
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> Guest274:  otherwise things can get confused/broke real fast
[07:06] <sandipdev> @Guest274: u cant do that....multiple apps will result in inconsistencies
[07:06] <Guest274> That means we have to bear this single task here?
[07:06] <hyperstream> almoxarife, just looking at wireshark, its a bit hard to understand ;/
[07:06] <sandipdev> @Guest274 yes
[07:06] <fen`> nanomachine, not its a 750GB drive and a 750GB partiion on a 1tb drive, the mirrored size is 750GB
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> Guest274:  if you want a stable system.. yes
[07:06] <Guest274> I see, thanks for informing me
[07:07] <fen`> this is really wierd
[07:07] <Dr_Willis> ive noticed windows now does it that way also for many cases
[07:07] <sandipdev> @Dr_willis: they are learning fast then ;-)
[07:07] <nanomachine> fen`, can you umount /dev/md0?
[07:07] <Sogekingu> hi I am limited to 800x600 display resolution, anyone can help me? I am running xubuntu.
[07:07] <fen`> i can try, its got an lvm sitting on it
[07:08] <Jared> Dr_Willis ok it failed... what now?
[07:08] <fen`> umount: /: device is busy.
[07:08] <Guest274> @Guest is there any application by which I can access my ubuntu 9.04 from windows XP professional?
[07:08] <nanomachine> fen`, fopen and lsof should show whats using it
[07:09] <nanomachine> not fopen, i forgot the name of the command
[07:09] <sandipdev> @Sogekingu: ur graphics card/chipset isnt configured
[07:09] <sandipdev> install proper drivers
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  check google for what the errors mean and #winehq - theres no guarentee that ANYTHING will ever make it work
[07:09] <Guest274> @Guest274 I can not use teamviewer in linux,
[07:09] <fen`> lsof -t reports nothing
[07:09] <joot> Guest274: not sure about that but the reverse is possible..
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> Jared:  thatw why theres that wine app database to help people get things going
[07:09] <millertimek1a2m3> does anyone know a backup tool that won't just make an image of a partition? like... it will only copy used sectors to the backup file?
[07:09] <TheMusicGuy> Oddly, I can commit junk fine from inside trunk/
[07:09] <sandipdev> @Guest274: there are apps which will let u access ur linux partitions in unix
[07:09] <Sogekingu> sandipdev how would I do that, I am running it through virtualbox if that helps.
[07:10] <TheMusicGuy> s/junk/just
[07:10] <Guest274> No I want to access my pc remotely from windows
[07:10] <sandipdev> @Sogekindu: whats the make of ur graphics card?
[07:10] <almoxarife> Guest274: tried 'vnc'?
[07:10] <Sogekingu> nvidia gt 240m
[07:10] <joot> Guest274: Maybe Wubi???
[07:10] <TheMusicGuy> millertimek1a2m3: take a look at rsnapshot
[07:10] <Guest274> Ok VNC
[07:10] <hyperstream> almoxarife, how do i apply the filter that excludes Network traffic, and only capture things outgoing
[07:10] <Sogekingu> sandipdev nvidia gt 240m
[07:10] <sandipdev> @Guest274: why dont u access it thru Putty with X forwarding enabled
[07:11] <sandipdev> @Sogekingu: go to add remove and install nvidia drivers..see if that helps
[07:11] <Guest274> Should I install putty in windows XP and in linux too, then enable forwarding. right?
[07:12] <Sogekingu> sandipdev ok ill try.
[07:12] <sandipdev> @Guest274: Install Putty in Windows and enable SSH server (daemon) on Linux
[07:12] <TheMusicGuy> millertimek1a2m3: btw, you normally make filesystem backups based on _files_, not based on raw binary disk data (ie. sectors/disk images)
[07:12] <almoxarife> hyperstream: I usually right click then drill down to the filter option then use the 'not' option, that's for not seeing that particular stream
[07:13] <millertimek1a2m3> TheMusicGuy, right, i was just saying make a backup of the only the stuff that is actually there, as in not a 40 gig image of a 40 gig partition that actually only has 4 gigs of files on it
[07:13] <millertimek1a2m3> thanks
[07:13] <millertimek1a2m3> :)
[07:13] <hyperstream> almoxarife, ive set it: !(ip.addr == <IP_ADDRESS>) (this is my laptops IP address tho, so will this stop the internet traffic as well?)
[07:13] <sandipdev> @Sogekingu : I think if u r running in VbOx, tweaking the VM settings for that OS shud work...allocate more video memory to it... etc...
[07:14] <nanomachine> fen`, can you umount /dev/sda1?
[07:14] <fen`> mm i think its the uuid to device mappings that are fucked.
[07:14] <TheMusicGuy> millertimek1a2m3: right. think of backups in terms of _files_, not in terms of _disks_, and you'll get a lot farther. :D
[07:14] <so0ky> where do i find the different chmod options?
[07:14] <fen`> excuse the language.. sry/
[07:14] <joot> fen; language
[07:15] <iceroot> so0ky: in the manpage
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> !chmod
[07:15] <iceroot> so0ky: man chmod
[07:15] <fen`> joot, yeah i already caught myself, two seconds after i did it.
[07:15] <so0ky> ty
[07:15] <almoxarife> hyperstream: look at the stream? you may want to filter it so that you don't see your ip (out) or else it excludes the ip show altogether , I think :)
[07:15] <joot> fen; coolas
[07:15] <hyperstream> blah
[07:16] <nanomachine> fen`, what did you do last before this problem occurred?
[07:16] <semitones> is it possible to change your account name on ubuntuforums?
[07:16] <almoxarife> hyperstream: why filter? once the log starts and you scroll back you can see all traffic, you should be able to tell if you are streaming outside the lan
[07:16] <fen`> its not an issue, everything still works but its providing incorrect info
[07:17] <hyperstream> Are there any other known applications that can tell me what im using through my WiFi - Need to monitor what im using over my network and what im using on the actual internet.
[07:17] <hyperstream> almoxarife, i get heavyly spammed, with 3 chat clients open, and alot of other stuff utilizing the internet ;/
[07:18] <almoxarife> hyperstream: I use firestarter for a personal firewall on ubuntu, there are others, its simple enough, shows what is connected to what and allows you to shut down and open ports as you please
[07:19] <joot> semitones; yes but i think you lose your beans
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> limabeans :)
[07:20] <semitones> joot: as long as I keep my posts..
[07:20] <semitones> "threads started by" etc. so I can still find them
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> i really need to check the forums more. but i can only do so much :)
[07:21] <Guest274> I have install sun6-jre, Now how can I install logmein in ubuntu
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> !info logmein
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> Does LogmeIN have a homepage?
[07:23] <Sogekingu> hi I am limited to 800x600 display resolution, anyone can help me? I am running xubuntu via VirtualBox.
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> Sogekingu:  for vcbox to get higher res you must install the vbox guest addations
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> !vbox
[07:24] <Sogekingu> Dr_Willis Thank you so much. I been trying to find solution for ages.
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> theres a reason they made the guest addations :)
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> im not sure if the guest addons are avail in the repos or not.
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> or use the latest from vbox
[07:26] <Sogekingu> yeah I wasnt sure what they were. They are included in VBox
[07:26] <Sogekingu> I just didnt want to apply somthing I knew little of.
[07:26] <joot> semi tones: you have to start again  take a look at this..http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398540&highlight=change+username+in+forums
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> the vbox 'share' feature is also a must learn/setup feature as well
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> check the vbox docs.
[07:26] <rothsdad> centerim is really cool!
[07:26] <joot> semitones: you have to start again  take a look at this..http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398540&highlight=change+username+in+forums
[07:26] <mrpink57> xp in a vbox on my laptop is just crippling
[07:27] <semitones> cool thanks
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> i ran win95 in vbox for ages :)
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> or was it xp.. i forget...
[07:27] <Sogekingu> im doing it the other way around XD
[07:27] <semitones> I signed up for the forums before I started using IRC, and now people know me as semitones :)
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> wife dident know she was on vbox on linux for over a year
[07:27] <mrpink57> i uses all of my resources while my Arch install uses meres percents
[07:27] <joot> semitones: you can still search though
[07:27] <Sogekingu> this laptop is too "new" for me to apply linux outright.
[07:27] <almoxarife> I run win7 in a vbox on ubuntu, fixed the clippy sound by using the oss sound option, everything else clipped
[07:27] <AbizzalsX> grub doesn't display an entry that's in boot.cfg but does display all other boot.cfg entries correctly
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> Sogekingu:  ive been playing with 'andlinux' also - its linux in a qemu virutal machine + xming so you get the linux apps on your windows dekstop
[07:28] <AbizzalsX> Any thoughts anyone?
[07:28] <AbizzalsX> Been battling this for a couple of hours now
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  boot.cfg? You mean grub.cfg?
[07:29] <AbizzalsX> err yeah grub.cfg
[07:29] <AbizzalsX> I can change the other menuentries and the updates are reflected when I reboot
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  i noticed a similer thing with some iso files i was trying to boot.. but havent looked into it lately
[07:29] <AbizzalsX> It's only the "Windows" menuentry that isn't reflected
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> Hmm these are my own custome entries that are not showing up.
[07:29] <joot> Abizzal: sudo update-grub
[07:29] <almoxarife> Sogekingu: I run ubuntu on a very new laptop using 'wubi', creates a dual boot without having to create a new partition, so far so good
[07:29] <AbizzalsX> Dr_Willis: Ah - I figure I have some parameter wrong...But without error messages or logging it's difficult to sort out
[07:29] <hyperstream> Whats my best method of setting up a multiple sound system, with 3 ubuntu desktops, each hooked upto a speaker system through out the house, and keeping the audio sync'd
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  not sure what to check really.
[07:30] <Dr_Willis> hyperstream: puse audio lets one pc play sound to all the other pc;s speakers
[07:30] <AbizzalsX> joot: Yes been doing that after I fiddle with the 11_Windows
[07:30] <AbizzalsX> It updated grub.cfg with the new menuentry
[07:30] <AbizzalsX> But that menuentry isn't displayed at boot
[07:31] <joot> Abizzal: roflmao
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:   i wonder if grub is seeing some mistake and thus ignoring the entry
[07:31] <so0ky> how do i restart/start a service in Ubuntu Server?
[07:31] <hyperstream> Dr_Willis, uses too much bandwidth over the Wifi
[07:31] <AbizzalsX> Dr_Willis: Yeah - Question is what's the mistake?
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> so0ky:  sudo service SERVICENAME restart
[07:31] <hyperstream> Dr_Willis, slows it down to a crawl.
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> hyperstream:  run wires then i guess.
[07:31] <so0ky> that is what I thought.
[07:31] <so0ky> I am root
[07:31] <so0ky> i do this command
[07:31] <ghesquiere> Hey guys. Just want some help about my monitor. I just switched monitors and the right resolutions aren't showing up. I already ran sudo nvidia-xconfig and configured xorg.conf but the correct resolutions still aren't showing up in nVidia X-Server Settings. Anyone who can help me?
[07:31] <so0ky> service networking restart and I get networking stop/waiting
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> hyperstream:  network to stream or, hard wired i guess
[07:32] <Guest61733> hello just a quick favour can u guys help me i have webcam set up webcam
[07:32] <Guest61733> my webcam is coming up wit error
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> ghesquiere:  gksudo nvidia-settings dosent show the proper res's ?
[07:32] <Guest61733> cant send or recieve until libminic or sumthing is installed
[07:32] <AbizzalsX> Guest61733: What's the error?
[07:32] <hyperstream> Dr_Willis, so if i stick with pulseaudio, ive set the network options to steam and stuff(its chewing a huge chunk of bandwidth) but i cant seem to 'tune' into the other pc speakers
[07:32] <Guest61733> can anyone help
[07:33] <AbizzalsX> Guest61733: Best to paste the whole error
[07:33] <Guest61733> ok
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> hyperstream:  you have to set up pulse to allow the other pc's access
[07:33] <ghesquiere> yeah, DrWillis. I usually run this monitor at 1280x1024 but the max it shows is 1036x764.
[07:33] <Guest61733> Abizzalsx: You don't have libmimic, so you can't send or receive webcam
[07:33] <Salva1> Can I run the theme I have set in Gnome, in KDE?
[07:33] <hyperstream> Dr_Willis, ahh i picked to require no authentication ?
[07:34] <FosskritiDemoFor> Salva1: no, not that easily.
[07:34] <Salva1> For GTK applications.
[07:34] <Guest61733> thats wat it says i have been through this problem on linux mint and fixed it on ubuntu its proving a little more diffecult
[07:34] <Dr_Willis> hyperstream:  let me mesg you this note i made on the topic - ages ago,,,
[07:34] <AbizzalsX> Guest61733: So do you have libmimic installed?

[07:35] <so0ky> i just configured the server to use DHCP

[07:39] <Dr_Willis> ghesquiere:  you could try removing xorg.conf (rename it) and rerun nvidia-settings tool to let it remake it
[07:39] <Guest61733> aida plz say that again plz
[07:39] <Aida> http://paste.ubuntu.com/375996/
[07:39] <Dr_Willis> ghesquiere:  the nvidia-xconfig tool is a little old ane may be making a bad config
[07:39] <ghesquiere> Dr_Willis: Ok. Thanks. I'll try that.
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> Aida:  sed/awk/perl can be used to tweak/change/manipulate text files

[07:40] <fen`> nanomachine, i just rebooted, (properly) and it fixed the problem but's like everthing i did on the machine during while it was up that time just disappeared.
[07:40] <Guest61733> Aida i have no idea wat ur trying to do

[07:41] <Aida> and i whant it to combinat it lick this
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> sed and awk can do most anything you would ever need done to a organized text file to alter its layout
[07:41] <Aida> and i whant to combinat it lick this
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> theres also the good old cut/paste commands and i recall a few other text manipulation commnads from years past
[07:41] <Guest61733> Dr_willis thanks a million working good now
[07:41] <Guest61733> thanks
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> Guest61733:  great.. err.. whats working now?
[07:41]  * Dr_Willis is getting old and forgetfull
[07:42] <so0ky> if i do a command and the output takes up more than my screen, how do I scroll up?  I'm sorry for being such a linux noob.
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> so0ky:  command | less
[07:42] <Aida> 1 1  1 2  13 1 4  1 5  16   2 1    22  2 3  24
[07:42] <so0ky> ty
[07:42] <Guest61733> Dr_willis the download of libminic
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> Aida:  if its all in colum type layout - awk can do all sorts of things to it.
[07:42] <semitones> so0ky: try the pageup key
[07:42] <semitones> I think
[07:43] <n-iCe> !rt73
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> so0ky:  for the console thers some key vombo also.. or use screen. I forget the combo
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> Aida:  im not going to teach you awk.  Its documented all over the web
[07:43] <almoxarife> Aida: the file is delimited?
[07:43] <n-iCe> anyone knows about a rt73 wireless card?
[07:43] <Guest61733> Dr_willis webcam is now working thank u for ur help
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> Guest61733:  great. :)
[07:43] <Guest61733> thank u
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> now you can chat with  your faimly
[07:44] <AbizzalsX> Seems to me lots of people with grub issues on the community forums - So many it makes searching for people with hte same issure problematic
[07:44] <Guest61733> oh dr_willis one problem im trying to install linux mint and i put the cd in and it just keeps saying loading
[07:44] <Guest61733> bad image perhaps
[07:44] <Guest61733> ??
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> Guest61733:  i suggest sticking to normal ubuntu not mint.
[07:44] <nanomachine> fen`, you may be confused about what is where
[07:45] <Guest61733> i have run mint b4
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> Aida:  i would suggest finding some awk tutorials and read them. your problem sounds like one that awk can do rtahter easially. and ive not used awk in over a year.
[07:45] <semitones> Dr_Willis: did Mint do something to offend ubuntu -- or are they just hard to support
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> semitones:  in some way yes..
[07:45] <semitones> Dr_Willis: I am curios!
[07:46] <semitones> offtopic?
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> semitones:  the tend to badmouth ubuntu a lot.  Id rather see them work with ubuntu more then trying to be so divided
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> semitones:  yep definatly OT. :)
[07:46] <Guest61733> Dr_willis im only 15 and i am looking for a new operating systems like linux first time trying it and i like it
[07:46] <joot> ghesquier: I had a similat problem and nvidia would not parse the settings into xorg.conf so I just cut and paste the settings from nvidia to xorg.conf worked for me
[07:46] <Guest61733> im just wandering if its the disk or the image
[07:47] <semitones> Dr_Willis: seeing as they're based on ubuntu, I don't know what they have to gain by being disrespectful..
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> I really cant see much need to use Mint any more. of course I know what stuff to install onubuntu to get the stuff going I need
[07:47] <Sogekingu> hey Dr_Willis do you know how I might be able to have my usb mouse and keyboard hooked up to my vbox exclusively. See I have dual screens so I wanna pretend like I got 2 computers.
[07:47] <almoxarife> hope it's the image or else you got drive issues
[07:47] <so0ky> how do you tell a ubuntu box to requery the DHCP server?
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> Sogekingu:  not sure if thats doable or not. try the vbox forums perhaps
[07:47] <Sogekingu> well it was worth a try, cheers.
[07:47] <CyberaX2195> grub2 is a lot more tolerant than the original grub
[07:48] <CyberaX2195> thats for sure
[07:48] <Sogekingu> Thing is I had this working, before I installed the guest addons.
[07:48] <ZykoticK9> so0ky, "sudo dhclient eth0" < if eth0 is the adapter you want to refresh
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> Aida:  http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Awk.html
[07:48] <so0ky> omg thanks
[07:48] <MWTC_King> 1 gb swap is enough right?
[07:48] <MWTC_King> guys?
[07:48] <CyberaX2195> thats what i normally allocate for a VM
i am stupit for this can you tel me thwe comand
[07:49] <semitones> MWTC_King: your swap should at least = your ram
[07:49] <semitones> I think?
[07:49] <CyberaX2195> i thought the rule was swap = 4x ram ?
[07:49] <almoxarife> Sogekingu: the settings menu of vbox allow you to grab certain usb's
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> Aida:  no i can not.. i dont have your data so i cant tell you the exact awk command.. and if i Did have the data - i would have to spend the next 20 min figureiung out the proper awk syntax/script
[07:49] <Flannel> CyberaX2195: Once you get past 2GB of swap or so, that gets silly.
[07:49] <CyberaX2195> possibly
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> Aida:  or you could use a text editor and create some macro do to  the editing and go throguh the file
[07:50] <dinobar> jj
[07:50] <Guest274> I think the rule is swap= 2X ram
[07:50] <MWTC_King> lol you guys are funny
[07:50] <semitones> Flannel: the idea being that you're not holding more than 2gb in memory when you hibernate?
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> 2xram is overkill in many cases
[07:50] <welcom> ku
[07:50] <MWTC_King> that mean 4gb for my 2 gb ram?
[07:50] <om26er> how can I change my window manager to mutter(default)?
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> Aida:  and if you  chatted in here instead of msging me - someone else in here who knows AWK might be willing to help
[07:50] <Guest274> Yes that would be 4gb for your 2gb ram
[07:51] <almoxarife> Aida: copy file to foo.csv , load into openoffice spreadsheet, make the changes, save the file, rename it to "?????????????
[07:51] <semitones> MWTC_King: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[07:51] <semitones> the definitive answers
[07:51] <IP-v6> hi
[07:51] <IP-v6> How can i use ie with ubuntu ? I need internet explorer for a government website ?
[07:52] <Flannel> semitones: Theoretically you don't need *any* swap (if your RAM is big enough that you'll never use the swap).  But to hibernate, you need at least as much swap as RAM, because your RAM contents get written to your swapspace
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> IP-v6:  you could change  your firefox useragent and many sites that 'need ie' magically work
[07:52] <IP-v6> it didn't work
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> IP-v6:  or check out the 'ies4linux' project
[07:52] <semitones> Flannel: so, saying you have 4gb ram -- would you need a 4gb swap?
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> complain to the site maintainer also
[07:52] <rhys_> hello
[07:52] <MWTC_King> how many pertition i should create? 1. / 2. /home 3. /var 4. /usr?
[07:52] <MWTC_King> 5. swap
[07:52] <Flannel> semitones: If you want to hibernate, yes.
[07:52] <Aida> can some one help
[07:52] <Aida> me
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  i normally use / /home and swap
[07:53] <semitones> Flannel: so that's why hibernate never works... :P thanks
[07:53] <IP-v6> i am checking ies4linux too, thanks
[07:53] <Guest37120> hey can anyone help me it allows me to send webcam but it turns stone whit and then it just doesnt send and cancels it self HELP!

[07:55] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  whats that all for? :)
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> i wonder if Aida went off to read/learn awk...
[07:55] <almoxarife> Guest37120: you need to install vlc, I assume you don't have it
[07:56] <Guest37120> the media player
[07:56] <Guest37120> ??

[07:56] <Guest37120> thanks
[07:56] <MWTC_King> what apps should i use to resize C:\?

[07:56] <Guest37120> sorry floodbot2
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  vista has a tool for it.. or i use gparted live cd
[07:56] <nicolasantoniou> hello ubuntu users
[07:56] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:   that the one missing some entries?
[07:56] <MWTC_King> 300 gb on c:/
[07:57] <nicolasantoniou> how do you install wine?
[07:57] <MWTC_King> Dr_Willis, what tool?
[07:57] <AbizzalsX> Dr_Willis: Not that I know of?
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  then whats the problem? :)
[07:57] <MWTC_King> nicolasantoniou, sudo apt-get install wine
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  the disk manager tool in vista can resize windows drives even while in use.. Notsure how it manages to do it
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> !wine   | nicolasantoniou
[07:58] <AbizzalsX> Dr_Willis: The "Windows 7" entry doesn't show up at boot time
[07:58] <Guest37120> ubottu: wine isnt always affective it tends to screw up at times
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  ive heard of others with that issue..   but never seen a fix.  Perhaps the forum may have an suggestion
[07:58] <semitones> If I have a lot of ram, will Ubuntu speed up if I change swappiness
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  so its shown in grub.cfg but not in the actual grub menu?
[07:58] <MWTC_King> ubottu: you are a dumb
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> semitones:  if it never swaps due to lots of ram.. i dont think so
[07:59] <MWTC_King> ubottu: you are so lame
[07:59] <semitones> Dr_Willis: that's kind of what I thought
[07:59] <MWTC_King> ubottu: yes you are not intelligent
[07:59] <aaron> is Ubuntu cloud computing like microsoft terminal services where you login to a remote  server ?
[07:59] <AbizzalsX> Dr_Willis: Yes
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  ive never had the issue so never looked into it. I think others have had the issue in her befor. but ive never seen a fix.
[08:00] <MWTC_King> WHY PARTITION MAGIC DISCONTINUED :(
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  i keep my windows and linux on their own hd's so iu can always set the bios to boot the windows drive directly
[08:00] <MWTC_King> :@
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:   Why use a comercial tool when the gparted live  cds can do it for free
[08:00] <AbizzalsX> Dr_Willis: This is a friends laptop I usually just use VMs myself
[08:00] <MWTC_King> Dr_Willis, i am friendly with partition magic
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  got bought out by a competator perhaps..
[08:01] <kinja-sheep> MWTC_King: Because just like every another magic trick, it must end.
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  too bad i guess
[08:01] <so0ky> i don't know what I am doing wrong.  my router will not give my server any IP address information.
[08:01] <AbizzalsX> Dr_Willis: thanks for your help
[08:01] <AbizzalsX> I'll keep hacking on it
[08:01] <MWTC_King> i always use cracked apps.... coz i am a  pirate :D
[08:01] <ghesquiere> Dr_Willis, I was the one who was having monitor resolutions problems earlier. You told me to rename xorg.conf and run nvidia-settings. I did as you told me but the correct resolutions are still aren't showing up. I rebooted my pc and saw the nVidia driver was deactivated so I reinstalled and the right resolutions are still not there.
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> AbizzalsX:  ive seen it mentioned in here. so theres proberly 100 threads on it in the forums.
[08:02] <iflema> MWTC_King the install cd has options to resize partitions during the installation
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> ghesquiere:  the drivers are activated now?  if they keep getting deactivated on reboot.. thats going to be aproblem
[08:02] <aaron> is cloud computing like terminal services?
[08:02] <Guest37120> hey Dr_willis it still doing the same thing as wat i told the other guy its starting up but closing
[08:02] <Guest37120> help
[08:02] <kinja-sheep> aaron: I'm RIAA and we'll visit to your lovely town soon! :)
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> aaron:  cloud computing is a bit of a broad vague term  tossed about a lot.
[08:02] <ghesquiere> Dr_Willis, yeah I activated after I rebooted my pc. What should I do?
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> ghesquiere:  not sure. I rarely have any issuesd with my 3 mvidia machines.
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> ghesquiere:  what video card?
[08:03] <joot> mwtc-king: use can use the ubuntu install to resize windows
[08:03] <Dr_Willis> ghesquiere:  if you activate after reboot.. you need to restart X or perhaps reboot.
[08:03] <MWTC_King> iflema, yes i know... i have installed ubuntu before... a lot of time but i am not friendly with gparted
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> If you know partion magic. gpart4d shouldent be too hard to figure out
[08:04] <semitones> gparted has improved a lot in 2 years
[08:04] <ghesquiere> Dr_Willis: Yeah, I already rebooted after reactivating it. I'm using GEForce2 MX/Mx 400.
[08:04] <crawler> my 4 yeaar old sister partitioned my drive using gparted
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> ghesquiere:  thats an old card aint it. :(
[08:04] <Guest37120> Almoxarife: its still doing the same thing mate
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> ghesquiere:  i recall in ages past a lot of issues with 'MX' cards
[08:05] <iflema> MWTC_King one way is just step through the install process and customise partitioned drives....... its the usual install dialog.... ya click along for a bit select custom and resize.....
[08:05] <Guest37120> crawler ur sister is a genius
[08:05] <Guest37120> man oh man
[08:05] <crawler> xD
[08:05] <ghesquiere> Dr_Willis: Yeah, it is. :( But I used to use to this monitor in the same CPU but this is the first time I've encountered this problem.
[08:05] <crawler> i coached her though, she installed ubuntu
[08:05] <Guest37120> crawler u mite be able to make her a hacker
[08:06] <Guest37120> haha
[08:06] <crawler> hehe
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> linux chix :)
[08:06] <Guest37120> yea well ubuntus easy to use
[08:06] <kinja-sheep> crawler: My fetus partitioned 2TB drive while I was asleep. And she is in my wife's belly! Sneaky. :o
[08:06] <semitones> not if you have no hands
[08:06] <Guest37120> Dr_ willis my webcam still is screwing up
[08:06]  * semitones chops off hands left and right
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> Guest37120:  the extent of my webcam knowledge is the !webcam factoid
[08:06] <reactor> Guest37120, do u have webcam upside-down, eh?
[08:07] <Guest37120> nooooo
[08:07] <Guest37120> wat u mean reactor
[08:07] <MWTC_King> hhow do i install from an image?
[08:07] <riggles> Quick question, have an eeepc (1005pe) and wpa encrpted wap i want to connect to. I've got the windows xp drivers for the atheros ar2427 chipset running in ndiswrapper. How do I set up dhcp so it doesn't fail 95% of the time, and what network manager should I be using, if any?
[08:07] <Guest37120> Reactor: it starts to go sending and after 30 seconds it turns off
[08:07] <semitones> MWTC_King: burn it/boot it
[08:07] <reactor> Guest37120, or does it work at all?
[08:07] <Guest37120> it does
[08:07] <Guest37120> i tried it on cheese
[08:07] <Guest37120> it turns on i can see myself
[08:07] <MWTC_King> semitones, i am too lazy to go outside and buy cds
[08:08] <Guest37120> but they cant
[08:08] <semitones> MWTC_King: you can also make a usb that can install ubuntu
[08:08] <Guest37120> and after 30 seconds turns off
[08:08] <reactor> Guest37120, hmm that's not my problem just I have a webcam that is mounted upside down in my laptop
[08:08] <semitones> MWTC_King: what OS are you on now?
[08:08] <MWTC_King> win 7
[08:08] <MWTC_King> lame 7
[08:08] <semitones> I like win 7 :P
[08:08] <Guest37120> yea mine just wont send at all
[08:08] <Guest37120> oh guys just to clarify we cant swear can we
[08:08] <semitones> you might be able to make a usb key using it, but I make no promise
[08:09] <Guest37120> because in the last one i couldnt

[08:13] <Besogon> I wonder what user location for main menu icon is?
[08:13]  * semitones doesn't know if there is croatian support on irc...
[08:13] <Dr_Willis> Besogon:  the ubuntu-tweak tool lets you change it. but for some themes - that tool wont work
[08:18] <Besogon> Dr_Willis: I knew but I'v forgot now. It's just for put there a icon. Have you got  ~/.local/share/icons path? (I haven't, may be because I'v not edited menu entry yet on the computer)
[08:18] <aaron> Kinja-sheep what does RIAA mean?
[08:18] <ZiG|ZaG> i'm looking for assistance with apache and phpmyadmin, i have apended 'Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf' to apache2.conf and i'm receiving the following message when i try to restart apache: http://pastebin.org/91471
[08:19] <linuxpjc780> I need some help removing a folder I do not have permissions for.  I accidentally installed it as a root.
[08:19] <linuxpjc780> I already uninstalled it using terminal.
[08:20] <linuxpjc780> Can anyone help?
[08:20] <kinja-sheep> aaron: I hilight you by mistake. You can easily find out what it is on Internet. :o
[08:20] <Besogon> :-D
[08:20] <crawler> linuxpjc780: you created this folder as root?
[08:21] <linuxpjc780> Yeah, by mistake.  I'm new Linux.  I should have installed it as non-root.
[08:21] <linuxpjc780> New to Linux, I mean ...
[08:21] <crawler> linuxpjc780: what i do to make it easy is gksu nautilus, then browse to the folder + delete it as normal
[08:21] <Besogon> linuxpjc780: Can't use "sudo" for it?
[08:21] <kinja-sheep> linuxpjc780: H
[08:22] <rasse> any alternative software for dreamweaver in linux, mainly to edit php codes.
[08:22] <kinja-sheep> linuxpjc780: Err. How did you create a folder as root in first place?
[08:22] <kinja-sheep> !ide | rasse
[08:23] <linuxpjc780> kinja-sheep:  I simply chose the wrong option as it was installing - should have chosen non-root.
[08:23] <rasse> ubottu, thanks, let me try any one
[08:23] <Besogon> Someone help me. Look for dir ~/.local/share/icons. Do you have it? please
[08:23] <linuxpjc780> crawler: What is the sudo command for deleting it?
[08:23] <aaron> kinja-sheep I have read about it and installed the server software every thing is to broad.  Is it like a OS on a remote system or just web apps I need some kind of tutorial all im finding is not detailed
[08:23] <kinja-sheep> Besogon: I do.
[08:24] <Besogon> kinja-sheep: thanks
[08:24] <linuxpjc780> I already did "sudo apt-get remove [file name]"
[08:24] <kinja-sheep> linuxpjc780: You can change it using "sudo chown $USER:$USER /path/to/folder"
[08:24] <Besogon> linuxpjc780: "sudo rm filename"
[08:25] <Besogon> linuxpjc780: apt-get is for packages not for files
[08:25] <linuxpjc780> kinja-sheep: K - let me try that ...
[08:26] <Besogon> linuxpjc780: "sudo rm -r filename" for delete foulder recursively
[08:27] <iceroot> linuxpjc780: use sudo only if it is a file belonging to root
[08:27] <iceroot> linuxpjc780: normally you will never need sudo rm on a ubuntu-system
[08:28] <cybersid67> server irc.tin.it
[08:28] <eras3r> how can i install Ubuntu on a device with a logical sector size of 1024?
[08:28] <MWTC_King> linuxpjc780, do a sudo rm -rf /
[08:28] <iceroot> !op | MWTC_King
[08:28] <iceroot> linuxpjc780: dont do it
[08:29] <iceroot> MWTC_King: also, this is not working with bash anymore
[08:29] <eras3r> helt pls !
[08:29] <eras3r> help pls !
[08:29] <iceroot> !ask | eras3r
[08:29] <ZiG|ZaG> i'm looking for assistance with apache and phpmyadmin, i have apended 'Include /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf' to apache2.conf and i'm receiving the following message when i try to restart apache: http://pastebin.org/91478
[08:29] <eras3r> how can i install Ubuntu on a device with a logical sector size of 1024?
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> eras3r:  why are you thinking the sector size matters?
[08:30] <eras3r> i thing the Gparted has some bugs
[08:30] <eras3r> DR_willis ...so
[08:30] <linuxpjc780> kinja-sheep: K - that worked!  Thanks.  I'm getting the hang of it.
[08:30] <eras3r> can we talk in prv?
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> eras3r:  not really. Im in and out all day long
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> ive never had to mess with sector size in years...
[08:31] <eras3r> yes
[08:31] <eras3r> i have a External HDD with 320 gb
[08:32] <eras3r> and i want to install ubuntu live or desktop on it... i have made a stik...with unetbooting (ubuntu 9.10 live) and run the desktop shortcut "Install ubuntu 9.10"
[08:33] <dragon> I need pointers to setting up Network Audio System, NAS.
[08:34] <rockz> Hey iam not able to change login screen in ubuntu 9.10
[08:34] <eras3r> on my External HDD when the Gparted open said : "Device /dev/sdc has a logical sector size of 1024.Not all parts o GNU Parted support this at he moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL"
[08:34] <eras3r> and then crash
[08:34] <dragon> eras3r: that sucks.
[08:34] <eras3r> bloking at 47% "Statrint up partitioner
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> eras3r:  why not repartion the hd with smaller sector size. I wonder what made the sector size that size.
[08:35] <rockz> any one can help me
[08:35] <dragon> rockz: you'll have to wait for the next release. Gnome made some changes to the architecture and the UI isn't ready for the new system.
[08:35] <nagchampa> i'm trying to get my screen's dpi set properly systemwide, and not just for gnome
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> ive never seen that error on any of my usb drives. but  most all of them have been ext3 formated at one time
[08:35] <ZiG|ZaG> apt-get purge package < is this adequate for removing software?
[08:35] <syn-ack> Dr_Willis: NTFS Perhaps? IIRC you can configure it to use that sort of block size
[08:35] <nagchampa> the xconfig seems to be not in the standard place though
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> syn-ack:  yea but thats not the default id think
[08:36] <eras3r> i`ve tried on Windows.... to rezise the sector size with 512.... but... nothing...
[08:36] <v3rr3z> Whats a linuc C++ program?
[08:36] <rockz> ok
[08:36] <eras3r> ok
[08:36] <v3rr3z> linux not linuc obviously.
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> eras3r:  windows can repartion hard drives also. you could make a unallocated space on it to put linux on
[08:36] <dragon> ZiG|ZaG: yes, it's adequate.
[08:36] <syn-ack> v3rr3z: most gnome count?
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> I never do a 'full' type install to usb media
[08:37] <ZiG|ZaG> ok
[08:37] <eras3r> i have all my 320 GB unnalocated and when i stat Gparted ....crash error etc
[08:37] <v3rr3z> syn-ack I am new and you lost me.
[08:37] <MWTC_King> its so nice to be back :D
[08:37] <syn-ack> v3rr3z: from what it sounded like you wanted someone to name a Linux C++ so I did
[08:37] <aaron> so I take it no one is willing to explain what cloud computing is or offer any good resources.
[08:37] <v3rr3z> Gnome Count?
[08:38] <pererik87> Anyone have a decent shell/terminal .sh tutorial to point to. after 4 hours i still haven't successfully managed to create a simple if function with a input value.
[08:38] <syn-ack> Dr_Willis: Hell the most I've ever done with a USB drive was copy over an image an a kickstart heh
[08:38] <syn-ack> v3rr3z: no, Does Most of GNOME Count
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> pererik87:  check the advanced bash scripting guide. it has examples
[08:38] <syn-ack> ?
[08:38] <netman1> pererik87: package bash-doc
[08:38] <v3rr3z> I dont know.. xD Does it.
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> aaron:  its a vague buzzword sort of term
[08:38] <syn-ack> v3rr3z: yes.
[08:39] <eras3r> gparted said " Appliocation problem. Sorry, GParted close unexpectedly"
[08:39] <netman1> Dr_Willis: ;-)
[08:39] <v3rr3z> How would I use that.. And would it work if the file type says Visual C++ 9.0
[08:39] <Dr_Willis> aaron:  all the data is on the servers.. you just run 'clients'    gee, like we did 30+ yrs ago.....
[08:39] <syn-ack> Visual C++ != ANSI C++
[08:39] <syn-ack> so in other words, no, it will not work, without modification
[08:40] <eras3r> can anybody help?
[08:40] <satz> tell me ur problem?
[08:40] <pererik87> @Dr_willis  that site looks like it was med in bash :S
[08:40] <MWTC_King> eras3r, run again
[08:40] <MWTC_King> with root
[08:40] <syn-ack> pererik87: what?
[08:40] <eras3r>  on my External HDD when the Gparted open said : "Device /dev/sdc has a logical sector size of 1024.Not all parts o GNU Parted support this at he moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL"
[08:40] <eras3r>  and then crash
[08:41] <v3rr3z> How do you shut down a program if it is frozen
[08:41] <aaron> DR_Willis: I have installed the ubuntu server cloud and find my self setting at a shell not knowing what to do next.  Ill my searching ex-planes that everything is proccessed on the server side I cant find how to setup or configer for all the crap about what it is and even that any to clear
[08:41] <almoxarife> is it possible to increase the size of root.disk on a wubi install of karmic?
[08:41] <syn-ack> eras3r: you were told already what to do
[08:41] <kinja-sheep> v3rr3z: It should prompt up "Force Close / Quit" -- Something of a sort.
[08:41] <eras3r> ?
[08:41] <eras3r> run as root
[08:41] <kinja-sheep> v3rr3z: You could open a terminal -- Type 'xkill' and click on the frozen window.
[08:41] <eras3r> ?
[08:42] <syn-ack> eras3r: have you tried to make some unallocated space on that disk via windows?
[08:42] <Fizix> Greetings! I have an issue where my internet connectivity is rendered useless when I VNC into my netbook running UNR. As soon as I disconnect from the ethernet connection I use to VNC into it, I regain internet access. Any ideas? And yes, I manually set up the IP addresses.
[08:42] <jbee> hey folks, what permissions, owner has /tmp per default?
[08:42] <disappearedng> ok I need urgent help, I ran nividia-xconfig and I think it must have erased my xorg.conf settings how do I reset to the original working one?
[08:43] <denis123> Hi. I need to update Grub's list of kernel as I installed a newer one. How can I do this from the LiveCD?
[08:43] <dragon> I need pointers to setting up Network Audio System, NAS.
[08:43] <denis123> i have mounted my partition on which Ubuntu is
[08:43] <darolu> jbee:755
[08:44] <darolu> jbee: owned by root
[08:44] <robbit10> Hello people. My parents are considering to buy a new laptop for me. What are good brands for use with Ubuntu, but also Windows 7?
[08:44] <jbee> darolu: thx.
[08:44] <Fizix> denis123, Grub should automatically see all of the kernel versions, no?
[08:44] <netman1> robbit10: general advice: buy a model 6-12 months old.
[08:45] <disappearedng> anyway to reset xorg settings?
[08:45] <netman1> robbit10: less problems with drivers which are not out yet.
[08:45] <denis123> Fizix: it didn't I don't know why. I installed newer one via https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa
[08:45] <robbit10> netman1: And any advice regarding brands?
[08:45] <denis123> Fizix: I also installed xorg edgers which needed a newer kernel. So I can't boot into Ubuntu unless i have newer kernel
[08:46] <netman1> robbit10: you can choose between quality, price and speed, as usual. I go for quality, eg. IBM/HP/Toshiba.
[08:46] <Fizix> robbit10, if it's any help, when I bought my Gateway C-140X tablet when they were just coming out and it works peachy.
[08:47] <darolu> robbit10: Dell work fine with both OS's that's what I have, I've set up Toshibas and HPs too, not problems at all; now if you want to be extra safe, buy System76
[08:47] <robbit10> netman1: It has to be under 500 euros. I will use it for recording guitar tracks, recording video, editing that video, playing light games (because i have a playstation 3, i don't need heavy games.), and other than that the standard web browsing+listening music+insant messaging+general use of the internet.
[08:47] <Fizix> robbit10, it might also be worth considering some desktops and laptops that already come with Ubuntu as an option like some Dells; this way you're pretty sure things should work nicely.
[08:47] <Fizix> Greetings! I have an issue where my internet connectivity is rendered useless when I VNC into my netbook running UNR. As soon as I disconnect from the ethernet connection I use to VNC into it, I regain internet access. Any ideas? And yes, I manually set up the IP addresses.
[08:48] <robbit10> darolu: Dell, Toshiba, and HP eh? okay, thanks :)
[08:48] <darolu> robbit10: yes, I have tested those brands, and found no problems at all. Check System76, they come with Ubuntu by default and are cheap.
[08:48] <mneptok> robbit10: brands are less important than components. i'd rather have a Dave's Inexpensive Laptop with Intel wireless and graphics than a gold-plated Thinkpad with Broadcom wireless and nVidia graphics.
[08:49] <joshyg6__> hi, why do i keep getting disconnected from the irc chat??
[08:49]  * mneptok notes that robbit10 is in the Netherlands and Sys76 does not provide warrantee support outside the US
[08:50] <joshyg6__> Robbit, any big brand works well usually.. I recommend the HP's on Newegg.. Great price.
[08:50] <darolu> mneptok: oh I didn't read the part where he said he was dutch, sry; ok nvm sys76 rob
[08:51]  * mneptok again notes that robbit10 is in the Netherlands and newegg.nl does not seem to exist :)
[08:51] <darolu> jeez... 30 mins in msn and I'm alrady typing sry and nvm??
[08:51] <mneptok> darolu: srsly.
[08:51] <robbit10> darolu: Keep using the real words..
[08:51] <darolu> mneptok: i no' tty brb
[08:52] <nagchampa> anyone know how to change the dpi setting that's returned by xdpyinfo?
[08:53] <denis123> is there any way to install a new kernel onto my installed Ubuntu via my LiveCD (I can't log into Ubuntu because I installed xorg-edgers which requires newer kernel - yet I don't think my kernel update worked)
[08:53] <MWTC_King> guys. what apps should i use to burn images in win?
[08:53] <robbit10> Fizix: How is the first one in this list?: http://www1.euro.dell.com/nl/nl/thuis/laptops_great_deals/fs.aspx?refid=laptops_great_deals&s=dhs&cs=nldhs1
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> denis123:  chroot in properly - install packages via command line
[08:53] <rileyp> anyone help me with ntp setup on diskless myhbuntu
[08:54] <Fizix> Anyone proficient at setting up a remote desktop server? I can connect through the server and VNC, but I lose my internet availability (still connected). It returns once I disconnect the ethernet connection I use for VNC.
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  thers  a few free tools i use in windows.
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  infrarecorder, burnatonce, and a few others
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> !butn
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[08:54] <MWTC_King> which one is best?
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  there is no 'best' :)
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> depends on your needs.
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> that url above mentions others.
[08:55] <MWTC_King> i just wanna burn img to cd. thats all
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  imgburn is another one i use a lot
[08:55] <denis123> Dr_Willis: which packages in particular? I need a 2.6.32 kernel
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> MWTC_King:  flip a coin. they can all do that
[08:55] <iceroot> MWTC_King: this is ubuntu-support not windows support, also because of your (sudo rm ...) there is no support (from me)
[08:55] <ZykoticK9> wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing.  Chromium will no longer allow me to get to Google's main search page, I'm redirected to iGoogle instead.  Using Firefox this does not happen.  I asked in #chromium-support first, but got no reply.
[08:55] <MWTC_King> lol iceroot
[08:55] <Fizix> robbit10, seems fine but it depends on what you're using it for. Don't expect to be pumping out some high fps when gaming in your Windows partition with a Celeron w/ 1MB of L2 cache
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> denis123:  not sure  kernel-######## proberly use the package manager tool to search for the proper name
[08:56] <rileyp> help with ntp time set up on diskless clients ubuntu
[08:56] <MWTC_King> iceroot, i didnt ask for you help.
[08:56] <iceroot> rileyp: diskless = thin-client with terminal server?
[08:56] <robbit10> Fizix: What I mostly want to do with it is edit video's, create flashes using Adobe Flash, and record music (playing guitar etc)
[08:56] <iceroot> MWTC_King: and you wont get help at all
[08:56] <rileyp> err mythbuntu diskless
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> robbit10:  flash is amazing in how much cpu it sucks down
[08:56] <MWTC_King> i will never need your help anyway
[08:56] <robbit10> Fizix: oh and record video's using the built-in webcam
[08:56] <nagchampa> christ, i can't even find whta config file the x server is useing
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> nagchampa:  it auto configs for the most part. then uses xorg.conf also
[08:57] <bazhang> !ot > MWTC_King
[08:57] <Guest66148> Anybody can help me with some stuff ?
[08:57] <robbit10> Dr_Willis: Yes but it's a very nice program to use to create cartoons.
[08:57] <iceroot> MWTC_King: if you have a ubuntu-support-question aks here, for windows support ##windows otherwiese #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:57] <rileyp> time on clients is wrong
