[16:40] <Amaterasu80> Um ^^ Hi there, I'm reletively new to Ubuntu and i've been trying to get my tablet working with it, now. . .so far I have full tablet support when I remove the "~/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/05-evdev.conf" file and neither my keyboard nor mouse work. But while it's there my tablet just hangs in the top left corner. . . any ideas? (I already have WizardPen installed)
[16:40] <wessel> Riviera, I do not know.
[16:40] <ubuntudrowning> BluesKaj: installed windows first, then 9. ubuntu, then upgraded to 10.04, then could not boot windows, went to windows terminal boot fix, now cant get to ubuntu
[16:40] <wessel> Will this compile it to make full use of my resources?
[16:41] <Riviera> wessel: for compiling it try "make linux"
[16:41] <wessel> I have 16GB ram, and a i7 quad core.
[16:41] <sfro> ty, i'll have a look
[16:41] <MaMoUs> I have a problem with sound in firefox. It works on sites like youtube  or google video if I launch firefox with no other sound apps open.  However, if I then open amaroK, or another media app, sound will not  function in videos
[16:41] <dasunsrule32> Hi, I am having trouble with likewise-open5 and ubuntu server 10.04, I have installed the latest version from the likewise-open ppa and the default repo version with the same issues. I have problems with dcerpcd, lsassd, lwiod, and lwregd not starting on boot. Also, I have set the default_realm=mydomain.local and it is still requiring that I type domain\user to login via ssh. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you!

[16:42] <Riviera> wessel: so, do you have a crafty executable now?
[16:42] <RyanP> wessel: It's probably better to use the repository. However to compile it, you want "make" try "make linux"
[16:42] <BluesKaj> ubuntudrowning, so you don't have a grub menu ?
[16:42] <wessel> http://paste.ubuntu.com/447260/
[16:42] <wessel> yes, I think it worked :-/
[16:43] <wessel> but arn't all these warnings bad?
[16:43] <bushy> okay so i need to make a partition for windows right/
[16:43] <ubuntudrowning> bluesKaj, no grub menu.  and command line install doesn't change anything
[16:43] <RyanP> wessel: It's ok..
[16:44] <dcamp25_> in 10.04 is there a way to turn off the boot splash so I can see the boot as it happens.  and what log is the boot log in ?
[16:44] <mmarc__> Hi! During upgrade from karmic to lucid I was acked what to do about the grub config. I checked partitions that were used in grub previously, e.g. /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3. Is that correct?
[16:45] <BluesKaj> ubuntudrowning, cli , sudo update-grub

[16:45] <HyperNewbie> hey, I've been having a problem... I have xp on partition 0 and ubuntu on partition 1, I go gtparted and set partition 1 active (which loads grub), which works all fine
[16:46] <HyperNewbie> except when i choose the "windows xp" option from the grub, then windows xp boots, and next time i restart computer, boot partition is somehow set back to 0
[16:46] <HyperNewbie> which means it boots straight into xp and skips the grub menu
[16:46] <Galerien> Hey guys, I had to update my google chrome like 5 times this week.. is that normal?
[16:46] <HyperNewbie> anyone has any idea?
[16:46] <Maletor> there has got to be a way to make the window resize area bigger. i have to be pixel perfect every time i want to expand the size of a window. what can i do?

[16:48] <loopidity> WDmydigitalpass not working on ubuntu :(
[16:48] <loopidity> lsusb gives Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1058:070a Western Digital Technologies, Inc.
[16:49] <loopidity> and a cdrom is loaded
[16:49] <ubuntudrowning> floodbot1:  sorry.  I'm new to this and have no idea what you said means.
[16:49] <loopidity> but not the disk
[16:49] <dcamp25_> loopidity, I am pretty sure it is a bug with WD
[16:49] <sfro> okay i read up on "mount", in my /dev there is nothing i see that can be the cd/dvd drive to mount.  there is no hdc or anything with cd or dvd in it.
[16:49] <dr3mro> hi there I am using the Ubuntu 10.04 and it has some bugs but most are solved via updates ???? I have a Question about ubuntu 10.10 will it be as stable as ubuntu 10.04 after 6 months of its release as feb 2011 or it will be less stable ???? and if I need to get the latest version of gnome in ubuntu 10.04 what i will need to so ????
[16:49] <loopidity> could be, but could be that it needs a little tweaking to work with ubutnu
[16:49] <bin1010> any good automatic build, scheduled builds with dashboard available?
[16:49] <Galerien> ubuntudrowning: you are talking to a bot, a software... to something ;) don't expect it to answer ^^
[16:50] <BluesKaj> HyperNewbie, open /etc/default/grub/ in the run command (alt+f2) , put a # in front of the line, GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[16:50] <Pyrokinetics> Galerien, its better that he talks with a bot than to himself ^^
[16:51] <paraintj> hey friends can someone please point me to the documentation for configuring ubuntu's default firewall application?

[16:51] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj>: on it, trying, thank you

[16:53] <BluesKaj> !firewall | paraintj
[16:53] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj>: I don't think it is the timeout
[16:53] <paraintj> BluesKaj: thanks man
[16:53] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj>: because when i re-boot into a live cd and use gtparted, I can see that the boot partition has been changed to partition 0

[16:55] <MPX> Hello! I have a HDD mounted as /home/ that is failing. I have another HDD (same size) that I would like to use as home instead. Problem is, the HDD already contain files on it (although the partition is EXT4). My question is, how can I transition my home folder on my one hdd to the other without losing any files?
[16:55] <Keell> Hello, my monitor is 'unknown' and i only can put 800x600. How can i fix it? My driver is SiS671.
[16:55] <lelamal> Galerien: you mean it's not among the partners anymore?
[16:56] <BluesKaj> HyperNewbie, did you use the partition editor to assign / to your ubuntu install
[16:56] <ldlework> Is there a way to install system packages to custom locations? IE I install weechat after compiling to /usr/local and Ubuntu wants to install the plugins into /usr
[16:56] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj> Yes, of course
[16:56] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj> Ubuntu install works absolutely fine
[16:57] <HyperNewbie>  <BluesKaj> Just as soon as i hit the "windows" option in grub, the boot partition flag gets set to partition 0, instead of partition 1
[16:59] <llutz> HyperNewbie: remove "makeactive" if you don't want that
[16:59] <ldlework> Does anyone know?
[16:59] <lostintime> Hi, is it possible to colorize apt-get or aptitude output?

[17:00] <lostintime> jpds: hmm, thanks
[17:00] <ldlework> Lol, my question is just skipped over =(
[17:00] <HyperNewbie>  <llutz>: aha, that hit the spot

[17:01] <lostintime> Hi, does anyone know of a general tool that can be piped to and rules can be defined for to color input?  I see packages like colordiff, colorgcc, colormake, and colortail in the repositories.  I will peruse their source shortly
[17:02] <trism> lostintime: highlight works pretty well, you'd probably have to write your own syntax file for apt though
[17:02] <mariya> gconf-editor tells me for the keys /desktop/gnome/background "This key has no scheme" what is going on?
[17:02] <lostintime> trism: cool, thank you
[17:02] <llutz> ldlework:  dpkg  --instdir=dir/    could do that, but i wouldn't recommend it
[17:04] <elvira> hello
[17:04] <ubutom_> MPX, you could opy all the files in your home directory to the new hd from within a live cd and edit the fstab to fit the new one, should work
[17:04] <Damascene> hi,
[17:05] <Damascene> why do I get my firewall off after reboot?
[17:05] <thieummm> hi, I'm struggling to use make-kpkg to build a deb package of a 32 bit linux kernel image on my amd64 machine ... anybody has a clue how to do it right (without chroot if possible) ? the problem:i used: setarch i386 sudo make-kpkg --append-to-version netns --cross-compile - --initrd  --arch i386 kernel_image.  the image i get is an x86 executable, but the deb package name is postfixed with "amd64" and dpkg -i on the package on the 32 bit mac
[17:05] <thieummm> hines says: package architecture (amd64) does not match system (i386)"
[17:05] <elvira> test please somebody my skype video
[17:05] <edbian> Damascene, what firewall are you running?
[17:05] <elvira> video call
[17:05] <Damascene> edbian, gufw
[17:05] <edbian> Damascene, sudo killall gufw
[17:05] <mattwynne> I have a problem with "cannot resolve hostname"
[17:05] <MPX> Hello! ubutom_ would I need to edit the fstab even if I just replace the HDD?
[17:05] <edbian> Damascene, Or you can look up it's processes number using ps -e
[17:06] <edbian> mattwynne, What DNS are you using?
[17:06] <Damascene> edbian, gufw: no process found
[17:06] <ubutom_> MPX, yeah, think so, because of that IDs in fstab
[17:06] <mattwynne> edbian: DNS from my router's config
[17:06] <Damascene> it's running in front of me
[17:06] <mattwynne> edbian: this is the hostname of localhost
[17:06] <edbian> Damascene, Then it isn't running or it has a different name.
[17:06] <edbian> Damascene, Look up the PID using ps -e  (and the name)
[17:06] <MPX> How do I figure out the id of the new disk ubutom_
[17:06] <cjmaynar> hello...i've got ubuntu 10.4 running on my laptop with auto login enabled, but am still getting that prompt that the keyring was not unlocked on login so it can't access the wireless password. i've found some ways around that, but they're all for older versions - is there a solution for 10 yet?
[17:06] <mattwynne> the error only appears when I do sudo commands
[17:06] <ubutom_> MPX, but shouldn't be much work
[17:07] <ubutom_> !UUID
[17:07] <mattwynne> the name of the machine *is* in /etc/hosts already
[17:07] <techass> Hello
[17:07] <ubutom_> there you go :)
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> cjmaynar:  you can just set a empty password for the keyring
[17:07] <edbian> mattwynne, Is the file world read-able?  Just a guess
[17:07] <techass> I have some questions regarding Ubuntu 10.4 Networkmanager
[17:07] <MPX> ubutom_, thanks! And where is fstab located? /etc=
[17:07] <MPX> ?
[17:07] <ubutom_> MPX, yeah, /etc/fstab
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> !fstab | MPX
[17:07] <mattwynne> edbian: 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 171 2010-05-06 11:00 /etc/hosts
[17:08] <MPX> awesome...Okay thanks! Time to boot into the live cd
[17:08] <cjmaynar> Dr_Willis: where do i go about that? i'm looking ath the Passwords and Encryption Keys window right now, thres no keyring password there, just the login...i guess set that as empty?
[17:08] <edbian> mattwynne, Mmm, mine is the same.
[17:08] <mattwynne> edbian: I recently upgraded from 9.x to 10.x if that's anything to do with it
[17:08] <edbian> mattwynne, What if you sudo hostname <yourHostNameHere>
[17:08] <mattwynne> also sudo cat /etc/hosts works
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> cjmaynar:  check the right mouse menus over one of the items in the  'list' theres a change password menu item. its sort of hidden
[17:08] <mariya> gconf-editor tells me for the keys /desktop/gnome/background "This key has no scheme" what is going on?
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> cjmaynar:  rclick on login, change password
[17:08] <mattwynne> edbian: same error
[17:09] <elvira> solved
[17:09] <edbian> mattwynne, What about /etc/hostname?
[17:09] <cjmaynar> Dr_Willis: gotcha.
[17:09] <edbian> mattwynne, What's the error?
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> cjmaynar:  just hit enter for the password.  it will then ask if you want to use Unsafe assword
[17:09] <edbian> mattwynne, Is that correct?  (I have the same permissions as you do on /etc/hosts on /etc/hostname)
[17:09] <mattwynne> edbian: http://gist.github.com/431710

[17:10] <mattwynne> let me show you anyway
[17:10] <techass> Hello

[17:11] <techass> Hello
[17:11] <duongthaiha> hi
[17:11] <edbian> mattwynne, Oh, well there's your problem! :)  <IP_ADDRESS> localhost  is correct.  The next line should be <IP_ADDRESS> Hubba
[17:11] <edbian> mattwynne, Make sense?
[17:11] <techass> hi duong
[17:12] <mattwynne> edbian: actually, no. and I thought this had been working for some time.
[17:12] <duongthaiha> Hi I currently having python 2.6 and 3.1 the default one is 2.6 which is the best way to change the default to 3.1 plz. Thanks a lot
[17:12] <mattwynne> edbian: can you explain why the named line should be 127.0.*1*.1?
[17:12] <edbian> mattwynne, I have no idea!  ha ah. That's how mine is along with every linux machine I've ever used.
[17:13] <edbian> mattwynne, so... "It just is"
[17:13] <mattwynne> ok
[17:13] <mattwynne> edbian: how do I pick up the changes?
[17:13] <mattwynne> anything less violent I can do than reboot?
[17:13] <padfoot_> #blankon
[17:14] <edbian> mattwynne, It should happen immediately.
[17:14] <edbian> mattwynne, you might try sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[17:14] <mattwynne> edbian: hmm. it didn't
[17:14] <mattwynne> edbian: I have a feeling that wasn't the problem
[17:14] <edbian> mattwynne, Or maybe in the new ubuntu it's service networking restart
[17:14] <duongthaiha> Hi I currently having python 2.6 and 3.1 the default one is 2.6 which is the best way to change the default to 3.1 plz? Any one plz help.
[17:14] <techass> Hello i have question to ubuntu gururs
[17:15] <mattwynne> I have another clue. You know in the Remote Desktop preference panel is says "to connect to this computer, use the address Hubba.local or <IP_ADDRESS>"
[17:15] <edbian> mattwynne, sure...
[17:15] <mattwynne> edbian: well it doesn't mention the named address anymore, only the IP
[17:15] <edbian> mattwynne, Odd...
[17:15] <mattwynne> so it's like it can't read it's hostname somehow
[17:15] <mattwynne> from some places
[17:15] <edbian> mattwynne, Explain to me your problem from the start again.
[17:15] <mariya> gconf-editor tells me for the keys /desktop/gnome/background "This key has no scheme" what is going on?
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> mattwynne:  unless you do some other work other machines on the lan wont know each other by 'hostname'
[17:16] <Keell> My monitor is 'unkown', how can i fix it? here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/N5SBVejY
[17:16] <mattwynne> there are various things not working, and in /var/log/syslog I can see entries about "unable to resolve host Hubba"
[17:16] <mattwynne> also I see the same message when I run sudo commands
[17:16] <edbian> mattwynne, What's in /etc/hostname  ?
[17:16] <mattwynne> I'm actually trying to set up avahi daemon so that our OS X laptops will play nice with it
[17:17] <MaMoUs> no sound control in ubuntu 10.04

[17:17] <mattwynne> edbian: Hubba
[17:17] <ubutom_> !ask > techass
[17:18] <edbian> mattwynne, what happens if you run the command "hostname"
[17:18] <dasunsrule32> Hi, I am having trouble with likewise-open5 and ubuntu server 10.04, I have installed the latest version from the likewise-open ppa and the default repo version with the same issues. I have problems with dcerpcd, lsassd, lwiod, and lwregd not starting on boot. Also, I have set the default_realm=mydomain.local and it is still requiring that I type domain\user to login via ssh. Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you!
[17:18] <mattwynne> edbian: it feels like sudo isn't readying /etc/hosts
[17:18] <edbian> mattwynne, I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with /etc/hosts or /etc/hostname or both...
[17:19] <edbian> mattwynne, Is rebooting out of the question?
[17:19] <edbian> mattwynne, did you sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ??
[17:19] <oerb> MaMoUs test gnome alsa-mixer
[17:19] <mattwynne> rebooting is fine, I've done it about fifteen times already this afternoon :)
[17:19] <edbian> mattwynne, Ok
[17:19] <mattwynne> edbian: actually I hadn't restarted networking d. doing that now.
[17:20] <edbian> mattwynne, and What does the command "hostname" return?
[17:20] <MaMoUs> oerb: i install it but how to run it or from where ?
[17:20] <mattwynne> edbian: hostname also returns "Hubba"
[17:20] <edbian> mattwynne, It's all correct, no typos or spaces or silly things like that?
[17:20] <mattwynne> also sudo hostname does the same (though ironically it prints that error first)
[17:20] <edbian> mattwynne, ha ha
[17:20] <shazzr> I succesfully connected my Ubuntu-machine at work to my employers Novell-shared disk. Pretty happy!

[17:26] <ubutom_> techass, http://www.linkedin.com/answers/technology/wireless/TCH_WIR/481570-30638662
[17:26] <oerb> MaMoUs indicator applit ... my english.... ;-)
[17:26] <mattwynne> edbian: the thing about that forum post is, it's saying to update your hosts file, but as far as I can see mine is correct
[17:26] <edbian> mattwynne, Well I think what it's saying is unable to resolve "on the network" hostname bla
[17:27] <edbian> mattwynne, I know, odd.  Can I see it again?  With the change we did?  Also I'm assuming you rebooted and it didn't help.
[17:27] <mattwynne> edbian: aha. So this has stopped working because avahi is broken, perhaps?
[17:27] <edbian> mattwynne, Possible?  What makes you say that?  Is avahi broken?  In what way?
[17:28] <mattwynne> edbian: don't know yet
[17:28] <mattwynne> I've upgraded from 9.x to 10.x and I'm now removing the patched versions of things I had to use for 9.x
[17:28] <mattwynne> not much fun
[17:28] <boing> Problem: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
[17:28] <techass> i know how to make wvdail connection of evdo on linux but i want it should work out of the box so
[17:28] <mattwynne> edbian: I still don't understand why it isn't looking in the hosts file
[17:28] <edbian> mattwynne, I'm surprised the update manager didn't do that for you.  What was left over?
[17:28] <Scunizi> mattwynne: I just jumped in here so I"ve missed some.  does your host file have a line that says "<IP Address> Hubba" ?
[17:28] <edbian> mattwynne, Can I see your /etc/hosts again?
[17:29] <llutz> mattwynne: change the 2nd line of your /etc/hosts to "<IP_ADDRESS> Hubba"
[17:29] <techass> just click wifi connector and there u go online with evdo
[17:29] <mattwynne> Scunizi: edbian: my hosts file: http://gist.github.com/431713
[17:29] <mattwynne> llutz: see http://gist.github.com/431713
[17:29] <edbian> Scunizi, He's got <IP_ADDRESS> Hubba   and <IP_ADDRESS> localhost What else does he need?  All I can think of is typos
[17:29] <techass> i mean mobile broadband connector
[17:29] <llutz> mattwynne: change the 2nd line of your /etc/hosts to "<IP_ADDRESS> Hubba"
[17:29] <edbian> mattwynne, It changed again.
[17:29] <edbian> mattwynne, Isn't that strange?
[17:29] <mattwynne> sorry guys, that's old
[17:29] <theadmin> Hm. If someone connects to my computer remotely, can he/she use the magic sysrq key?
[17:30] <mattwynne> I'm a dickhead
[17:30] <edbian> mattwynne, ha ha
[17:30] <edbian> mattwynne, No worries.
[17:30] <chavez> Hi all, hopefully someone may hint me how to fix this - iwconfig or ifconfig gives the following: "Command 'iwconfig' is available in '/sbin/iwconfig' The command could not be located because '/sbin' is not included in the PATH environment variable. This is most likely caused by the lack of administrative priviledges associated with your user account.", with sudo all goes ok
[17:30] <mattwynne> http://gist.github.com/431713
[17:30] <Scunizi> mattwynne: edbian is Hubba an Apache server?
[17:30] <mattwynne> Scunizi: yeah apache2 is running on there, or supposed to be
[17:30] <ubutom_> techass, specify your question. so you have it working, but want to connect to it through wifi?
[17:31] <mattwynne> Scunizi: haven't checked if it's working since I upgraded
[17:31] <Scunizi> mattwynne: edbian and typing "localhost" get's you to Apache?
[17:31] <edbian> mattwynne, localhost in a browser
[17:31] <Scunizi> k
[17:31] <edbian> Scunizi, clever :)
[17:31] <techass> ok my question is how to make it work under network manager as mobile broadband
[17:31] <mattwynne> yep, I can see apache
[17:32] <mattwynne> Scunizi: why do you ask?
[17:32] <theadmin> chavez: add /sbin to your PATH, but basically you need root priveleges (sudo) for them to work anyway
[17:32] <Scunizi> mattwynne: edbian do you have another machine in the house you can list Hubba in and test? using the internal IP address of the Apache server?
[17:32] <mattwynne> Scunizi: edbian: curl localhost shows the apache root page
[17:32] <anna-karin> How do I change the close/minimize/maximize buttons back to the right side?
[17:32] <mattwynne> Scunizi: I can hit it fine from my laptop on the IP address
[17:32] <Scunizi> mattwynne: if localhost works and Hubba doesn't then perhaps networking needs to be restarted to "catch" the file change
[17:32] <mattwynne> Scunizi: I'm using ssh into it now
[17:32] <techass> network manager can see it but when try to connect icon animation started ut after few sec  notification appeared saying
[17:33] <acu> I want to run two usb webcam at the same time - I can make each work fine - but only as one by one - can anyone help hint to something
[17:33] <mattwynne> Scunizi: I've just rebooted it, so it should all be good right now
[17:33] <techass> disconnected offline
[17:33] <edbian> Scunizi, I'm not there
[17:33] <padfoot_> acu : install v4l
[17:33] <Scunizi> mattwynne: if you're on a remote machine trying to access Hubba and the host file in Hubba has been modified as you say then the remote machine won't know unless you change the host file in the remote machine too.
[17:34] <techass> it only works in 9.10 ubuntu live cd
[17:34] <techass> like this
[17:34] <acu> I have v4l2 padfoot - you think that v4l (older version is better) ?
[17:34] <mattwynne> Scunizi: sure. I'm doing all these checks from hubba, but I'm ssh'd into it
[17:34] <chavez> ok, theadmin, how to "add /sbin to path exactly"? i think it happened also for other commands, not only these, just i was reluctant to do anything before it got too annoying
[17:34] <mattwynne> Scunizi: the key problem on hubba is this: http://gist.github.com/431710
[17:35] <theadmin> chavez: Temporary: "export PATH=$PATH:/sbin", for it to be permanent add it to ~/.bashrc
[17:35] <Scunizi> mattwynne: of course there's a difference between Hubba and hubba ..
[17:35] <boing> Problem: Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.
[17:35] <k-rad> i was wondering if i could get some netbook recommendations.  i'm unsure if we'll ever be able to restore wireless on our HP G60-249WM.  the light turns on blue, but when booting to windows (installed just for repair purposes) the light will turn back to red (off) and i know nothing about repairing wireless on laptops the wifi module is a new identical replacement.  anyway i was thinking about a netbook, with a good screen size, as far as netbooks go, an
[17:35] <k-rad> d i definitely want to run ubuntu on it, was looking not for the latest and greatest, but value is a top priority
[17:35] <boing> i start firebox and get the message again i dont want to reboot
[17:35] <theadmin> boing: Run "killall firefox"
[17:35] <mattwynne> Scunizi: yes, I'm pretty sure I'm using the capital letter everywhere
[17:35] <k-rad> and a decent screen size, for those tiny things
[17:36] <MikeChelen> is there any way to shut down ubuntu one besides killing the process?
[17:36] <kbrosnan> boing: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+is+already+running+but+is+not+responding
[17:36] <Scunizi> mattwynne: try replacing the 127.xxx.xxx.xxx with the actual IP of the machine and see what happens.
[17:36] <mattwynne> Scunizi: you would expect I can do (from hubba) "ping Hubba" and see it trying to ping <IP_ADDRESS>, right?
[17:37] <Scunizi> mattwynne: you'd think
[17:37] <anna-karin> Nvm found it
[17:37] <mattwynne> so my conclusion is that something is stopping the machine from reading the hosts file
[17:37] <boing> theadmin, tried no luck but i read on to the link kbrosnan gave me
[17:37] <Guest45231> like to install those little thing for monetering temp, volumes and so on, only i forgot the name of it, anyone can help
[17:37] <mattwynne> Scunizi: it does understand how to resolve localhost though
[17:37] <boing> lol cannot open link i guess i have to reboot
[17:37] <theadmin> boing: try "killall firefox-bin" as well
[17:38] <boing> theadmin, great work
[17:38] <Scunizi> mattgyver: I'm thinking that maybe it can't resolve two different names to the same IP address.. or perhaps it needs to read on one line like .. <IP_ADDRESS> localhost Hubba .. or <IP_ADDRESS> localhost, Hubba ..
[17:39] <siddhion> hello : )
[17:39] <chavez> thanks, theadmin, you made my day :)
[17:39] <Andrew129> hi everyone! what's the deal with failing too resume from hibernating and sleep??
[17:39] <Andrew129> to*
[17:40] <chadi> Andrew129++
[17:40] <Scunizi> mattgyver: another idea.. Isn't localhost hard coded to port 80 unless you add a different port to the end of the IP address?  so the system doesn't know where to send Hubba because there's no port reference.. perhaps <IP_ADDRESS>:80 Hubba
[17:40] <siddhion> I was wondering if some one could help me trouble shoot my super slow browsing issue in Firefox and Chrome using Xubuntu 10.04. I have detailed my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1505056
[17:40] <mattwynne> Scunizi: here's another oddity: If I put a line like "<IP_ADDRESS> www.google.com" in the hosts file, and ping that name, it's still hitting the real IP rather than 127.
[17:40] <mattwynne> I'm convinced the machine is not reading the hosts file, but why not?
[17:40] <Guest45231> like to install those little thing for monetering temp, volumes and so on, only i forgot the name of it, anyone can help
[17:41] <Scunizi> mattgyver: reverse them.. www.google.com <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:41] <G_A_C> I'm having a little trouble with smartmontools; I have some USB Seagate drives which used to work with smartctl using "-d sat,12" however now they keep saying that SMART is disabled.
[17:41] <G_A_C> even when I do "-s on" they show SMART Enabled followed immediately by SMART Disables on a new line
[17:42] <mattwynne> Scunizi: same deal. Also I'm pretty sure you're meant to put them in <IP> <name> in the hosts file, no?
[17:42] <chavez> siddhion, have you tried disabling ip6?
[17:42] <mattwynne> Scunizi: I'm tempted to chmod 777 /etc/hosts to see what happens
[17:42] <Pici> mattwynne: Yes, you're correct.
[17:42] <Andrew129> hi everyone! what's the deal with failing too resume from hibernating and sleep?? can anyone comment? is it now "normal" in Linux's standarts?
[17:42] <Scunizi> mattgyver: for the google reference... I was just thinking of reversing the listing in the hosts file.. with google.com first then the IP
[17:42] <edbian> mattwynne, make some new entry and ping it
[17:43] <mattwynne> edbian: I've tried that, and it doesn't ping
[17:43] <siddhion> edbian: hey sorry i could not make it the other day
[17:43] <Pici> Scunizi: You're not replying to the right person, and the syntax is <ip> <hostname(s)>
[17:43] <mattwynne> edbian: it's not reading my hosts file
[17:43] <theadmin> Andrew129: Happens... Not in Linux :D But maybe in Ubuntu, that is, for Fedora everything goes smooth
[17:43] <edbian> siddhion, no worries
[17:44] <siddhion> chavez: yes i did that whole tutorial.
[17:44] <Scunizi> Pici: ah.. thanks for pointing that out.. about the nick.. as for the syntax I wasn't sure if it would work or not.. now I know :)
[17:44] <Andrew129> theadmin: i heard that not only ubuntu suffers from it
[17:44] <siddhion> edbian: cool
[17:44] <Scunizi> mattwynne: sorry I've been answering to the wrong nick.. glad you caught most of that.
[17:45] <rad4Christ> Hey guys, I am running an LTSP5 test server, and Firefox/flash is running locally, however, the Firefox window itself looks horrible, like a Windows95 interface. The theme doesn't seem to be applied. any ideas?
[17:45] <edbian> mattwynne, Can you ping anything?
[17:45] <Dr_Willis> Hibernate/suspend can depend on so many things..  its amazing it works  at all :)
[17:45] <mattwynne> Scunizi: np
[17:45] <mattwynne> edbian: ping localhost works
[17:45] <mattwynne> ping www.google.com works
[17:45] <edbian> mattwynne, add a line like "<IP_ADDRESS>. fake"  to /etc/hosts
[17:46] <edbian> mattwynne, Then try and "ping fake
[17:46] <mattwynne> edbian: and interstingly, if I put an entry into hosts mapping www.google.com to somewhere else, it continues to ping the right IP
[17:46] <mattwynne> edbian: will do
[17:46] <edbian> mattwynne, Or did you already do that.  Just to make sure it looks at the file
[17:46] <edbian> mattwynne, It might have cached www.google.com
[17:47] <siddhion> I have a great wired connection on with all other software.  It is just Chrome and Firefox that are moving super slow.
[17:47] <Scunizi> mattwynne: I'm not sure if the capital letter in Hubba would cause an issue or not.. I know when creating a user the login name *can't* begin with a capital
[17:47] <samijam> if i go to System-Administration-Users and Groups and then click on Advanced Settings it's not doing anything. Shouldn't it prompt me for a password and allow me to make changes?
[17:47] <mattwynne> Scunizi: this has been working for weeks now
[17:47] <siddhion> edbian: by the way I decided to install Xubuntu 10.04 over Windows XP.
[17:47] <edbian> mattwynne, Try that.  I've never had a hostname with a capital in it before so IDK
[17:47] <mattwynne> Scunizi: only broke when I upgrade 9.x -> 10.x
[17:47] <edbian> siddhion, Excellent!  Linux > Win XP
[17:48] <Scunizi> mattwynne: ah ok.. figures.. I had some breakage on upgrade too.  Does the server have the desktop installed as well or is it cli only?
[17:48] <tflgen2> thumbs up to all who worked on 10.04 :) huge diff from it and 6.10 :P
[17:48] <siddhion> edbian: i think so except for the fact that Chrome and Firefox are slow to the point of being unusable
[17:48] <mattwynne> Scunizi: desktop is installed but it's basically a headless box
[17:49] <mattwynne> I can cram a monitor / keyboard into the cupboard when I need to fix something
[17:49] <siddhion> edbian: i am one of the unfortunate few that got screwed with this issue.
[17:49] <edbian> siddhion, That is so odd.  There isn't a proxy or anything right?
[17:49] <Scunizi> mattwynne: when the desktop is installed is network manager also installed? and if so is it still active?
[17:49] <benkevan> my latest screenshot http://www.picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot_Adapt.1276102265.png
[17:49] <siddhion> edbian: not sure what you mean  by proxy? like are Firefox and Chrom running through a proxy?
[17:49] <bakingsoda> If you think ubuntu sucks than give me a HELL YEAH!
[17:49] <bakingsoda> HELL YEAH
[17:49] <FloodBot1> bakingsoda: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:50] <edbian> siddhion, Yeah.
[17:50] <Pici> bakingsoda: This is a support channel, not somewhere to complain about Ubuntu.
[17:50] <edbian> mattwynne, Did you add a fake entry to /etc/hosts?
[17:50] <siddhion> edbian: i have no idea. how would i find out if they were?
[17:50] <mattwynne> edbian: just finished trying that (I was trying chmod 777) "unknown host fake"
[17:50] <edbian> siddhion, system -> preferences -> network proxy
[17:51] <Scunizi> mattwynne: I'm now thinking that NM got installed with the desktop.. I hate NM.. it tends to takeover even if you hand set the interfaces and resolv.conf files.
[17:51] <edbian> mattwynne, So it def is not reading the file
[17:51] <siddhion> edbian: ok i will see in a moment. restarting
[17:51] <edbian> mattwynne, Can You pastebin the updated one ok?
[17:51] <edbian> siddhion, k
[17:51] <Scunizi> Pici: when "Desktop" is installed on a server install does it pull in Network-manager?
[17:52] <Guest60858> hi
[17:52] <Pici> Scunizi: yes, its part of the ubuntu-desktop task
[17:52] <samijam> anybody have an idea why I can't enter the advanced settings for users and groups?
[17:52] <CaptainTrek> !hi | Guest60858
[17:52] <Guest60858> RealPlayer
[17:52] <Scunizi> Pici: and also pulls in the desktop kernel?
[17:52] <Guest60858> pleeez
[17:52] <mattwynne> edbian: yes, one sec
[17:53] <ubutom_> wow
[17:53] <mattwynne> Scunizi: what are you suggesting I do about NM?
[17:53] <CaptainTrek> Guest60858:  what exactly do you need?
[17:53] <ubutom_> Guest60858, try sentences ;)
[17:53] <Guest60858> :(
[17:53] <CaptainTrek> ubutom_ lol
[17:54] <mattwynne> edbian: http://gist.github.com/431790
[17:54] <Pici> Scunizi: er, yes, but I'm not sure if it sets that as the default.
[17:54] <casa> hi i can't read 2 sd what's going on'can i fix them? they're damaged
[17:54] <boing> what is the command for cleaning the metadata
[17:54] <Scunizi> mattwynne: I just confirmed with Pici that when you install ubuntu-desktop on a server install it pulls in Network-manager.. and most probably the desktop kernel.. check to see if NM is installed if so uninstall and hand set /etc/network/interfaces & /etc/resolv.conf
[17:54] <MaMoUs> installing pulse audio miss my sound
[17:54] <Pici> Scunizi: It shouldn't affect how /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname behaves.
[17:55] <casa> pici what can i do to fix an sd card
[17:55] <vishaltelangre> MaMoUs, apt-get install pulseaudio
[17:55] <Pici> casa: I don't know.
[17:55] <MaMoUs> vishaltelangre: when i did that every thing is missd up now
[17:55] <edbian> mattwynne, That's the entire file?
[17:56] <UbLost> Anyone know how to recover a dual boot Ubuntu that has lost its Grub?
[17:56] <Scunizi> Pici: but it does effect interfaces.. just thinking that there's some other magic that NM is doing with hosts etc.
[17:56] <mattwynne> edbian: yeah for the time being
[17:57] <vishaltelangre> MaMoUs, why not you back up your packages regularly so as when you messed up w/ such a situations you can restore them back?
[17:57] <mattwynne> edbian: ping fake doesn't even work. WTF?
[17:57] <edbian> mattwynne, yeah, that's odd...
[17:57] <spezticle> what is the purpose of this /etc/network/interfaces file entry: up route add -net <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> gw <IP_ADDRESS> eth1
[17:57] <Scunizi> spezticle: you got vmware or vbox installed?
[17:58] <Pici> mattwynne: That hosts file is very weird looking.  This is mine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/447294/
[17:58] <Pici> mattwynne: Where nullcortex is my hostname and nullcortex.com is my domain name.
[17:58] <mattwynne> Pici: I know, I've moved my real one out of the way for a minute
[17:58] <spezticle> Scunizi: no, i'm reading a page teaching about network configuration.
[17:58] <samijam> I can't edit Users and Groups. When I click on Advanced Settings nothing happens
[17:58] <Pici> mattwynne: Okay
[17:58] <mattwynne> Pici: I'm just trying to test whether the machine is readying the file
[17:59] <mattwynne> Pici: and it doesn't seem to be
[17:59] <Scunizi> mattwynne: AH.. look at Pici 's file.. see he has <IP_ADDRESS> localhost nullcortex on one line
[17:59] <mattwynne> Scunizi: that's just another way of saying the same thing
[17:59] <mattwynne> I'm convinced this is a permissions issue
[17:59] <edbian> mattwynne, Scunizi I think mattwynne Is right.  The file isn't even being looked up.  hence <IP_ADDRESS>. fake didn't even work.
[18:00] <edbian> mattwynne, What are the permissions on the file?
[18:00] <mattwynne> here's another clue: when I reboot, and I open Remote Desktop, I get a prompt asking me for the keyring password
[18:00] <mattwynne> every time
[18:00] <mattwynne> it didn't do that before the dist-upgrade
[18:01] <Scunizi> mattwynne: edbian shouldn't the permissions be 644?  mine appears to be
[18:01] <siddhion> edbian: hey i do not have "preferences" as an option under system.
[18:01] <edbian> siddhion, KDE ?
[18:01] <edbian> Scunizi, That's what mine is too
[18:01] <mattwynne> edbian: I have tried it with 777 just for fun, doesn't seem to make a blind bit of difference
[18:01] <[Lloyd]> Hello - I'm not sure if I'm in the right room. I'm looking for advice on which GMail thing to install? I used the Ubuntu SOftware Centre but it doesn't seem to show reviews or popularity?
[18:01] <edbian> mattwynne, odd
[18:01] <siddhion> im in Xubuntu 10.04 Xfce
[18:02] <siddhion> edbian: Xfce
[18:02] <mariya> I can not select a background image, instead of it, a solid color appears
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> [Lloyd]:  gmail thing to do what?  I use the gmail-notifier applet just to show that i have mail
[18:03] <acerimmer> [Lloyd]: do you mean setting up gmail with evolution?
[18:03] <[Lloyd]> Dr_Willis: That sounds like what I'm after. Is it an official Google one?
[18:03] <[Lloyd]> acerimmer: ah no but thank you
[18:03] <T3CHKOMMIE> help, i tried installing apache, did a sudo taskel and installed LAMP, lost my desktop. cant seem to get it back does anyone know how to recover this without doing a clean install?
[18:03] <abstrakt> anyone know offhand a good ExpressCard wireless card that works "otb" with Ubuntu and doesn't need restricted drivers? preferably one i can purchase at best buy?
[18:04] <bbq^> !ssh
[18:05] <paraintj> hey ubuntu friends, is there a way to configure ubuntu to automatically update like a auto yum update?
[18:05] <edbian> siddhion, Who cares.  I'd rather you checked firefox's edit -> preferences -> advanced  -> Network -> Settings (button)
[18:05] <T3CHKOMMIE> can anyone hep me recover my desktop?
[18:06] <siddhion> edbian: ok
[18:06] <paraintj> Nevermind I googled and found it in the update manager I was just using the wrong key words.
[18:07] <edbian> mattwynne, What does /etc/host.conf  look like?
[18:07] <siddhion> edbian: i click Settings and I see Connection Settings pop up. The radial button is set to "Use System Proxy Settings"
[18:07] <edbian> siddhion, Turn that off.  Use no proxy
[18:07] <jcrigby> anyone here know why my left mouse button stops working in lucid?  Seems like focus is stuck in one window.  Scroll wheel still works but left button does not.  I can ctrl-alt-F1 out to a vt and mouse works fine there.  This is on a dell laptop.
[18:07] <edbian> siddhion, I think we might have just fixed it.
[18:07] <mattwynne> edbian: order hosts,bind
[18:08] <edbian> mattwynne, also, what about /etc/nsswitch.conf
[18:08] <edbian> mattwynne, that one looks fine.
[18:08] <mattwynne> edbian: aha. No such file or directory
[18:08] <mattwynne> what's nsswitch.conf?
[18:08] <mattwynne> where can I find a default?
[18:08] <edbian> mattwynne, /etc/nsswitch.conf
[18:08] <Scunizi> mattwynne: my host.conf file also has "multi on" on the second line
[18:08] <edbian> no typos

[18:15] <siddhion> edbian: are browsers treated differently than other Internet dependent programs?
[18:15] <edbian> siddhion, Shouldn't be.  Except they are one of the only things that run on port 80.  Check this out https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc/+bug/417757
[18:16] <siddhion> edbian: ok i think that is the main issue then, something with port 80
[18:16] <vishaltelangre> !pastebinit

[18:21] <KindOne> iksik: they are porting Steam to linux
[18:22] <iksik> KindOne, is there any beta? :D
[18:22] <h00k> iksik: It has information to direct you to the !appdb, also #winehq for the wine people :)
[18:22] <oerb> :-)
[18:22] <oerb> STEAM Beta hehe nice
[18:22] <iksik> oerb, whats funny in that? :>
[18:22] <KindOne> ikonia: nope.... have to wait on the offical release
[18:22] <iksik> uhm
[18:23] <GdAwGz> whats going on
[18:23] <GdAwGz> what?
[18:24] <Pici> !hi | GdAwGz
[18:24] <oerb> iksik give mi zulu time an I will test too
[18:24] <iksik> h00k, ok, but im not sure is that a wine related question
[18:24] <iksik> i'm playing in CounterStrike 1.6 using wine, but.... to handle switching back into my desktop while playing a game, i'm using separate display for CS, but, there is no sound in game... is there any way to fix it?
[18:24] <GdAwGz> backtrack 4 brought me here
[18:25] <GdAwGz> wow i'''m new to linux and loviin every min
[18:25] <iksik> h00k i think it is mostly linux related
[18:25] <iksik> GdAwGz, good for You :D
[18:25] <a3ist> this may not be explicitly an ubuntu question, but does anyone know of a bookmark extension for chrome (that's *nix compatible of course) that allows grouping and previews/thumbnails?
[18:25] <Pici> GdAwGz: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? Or are you looking for backtrack's support channel?
[18:26] <loopidity> why is it that every time I boot up ubuntu, a different particular letter gets unvisible(a solid square appears)
[18:26] <loopidity> now all the # have become a small rectangle
[18:26] <GdAwGz> oh i was just looking around,,,
[18:26] <a3ist> loopidity, try changing font and see if that fixes it
[18:26] <a3ist> loopidity, if it does, reinstall the font that's wonky
[18:27] <loopidity> where is the font settings exactly, if u remember off the top of ur head
[18:27] <Pupeno> To restore evolution from a backup, do I need anything else than to copy the ~/.evolution directory?
[18:27] <a3ist> loopidity, Appearance control panel
[18:28] <paraintj> Anyone using google chrome yet on ubuntu?
[18:28] <loopidity> a3ist you were right, the Sans fonts was having trouble
[18:28] <paraintj> ohhhh I found it :p sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[18:29] <Bushido> not chromium
[18:29] <Bushido> get it from google. search for chrome linux
[18:29] <paraintj> ok thanks bushido
[18:29] <Bushido> chromium is different
[18:29] <paraintj> ohh
[18:29] <Bushido> chrome was based on chromium though, if it makes you feel better
[18:29] <a3ist> loopidity, also check the different font options to see if theres a better one for your monitor type, like LCD smoothing
[18:29] <bastidrazor> paraintj: i got it from google. google chrome does well for me. lacks in plugins but is very fast and snappy
[18:30] <Exavion> the extensions work well in lucid on the chrome stable beta
[18:30] <Exavion> plugins need to be manually worked in, like some java ones etc
[18:30] <Exavion> which is simply linking a library
[18:30] <paraintj> very cool guys they did a nice .deb installer too!
[18:30] <paraintj> Thanks for the tips
[18:31] <mattwynne> folks I have another missing file: /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf
[18:31] <mattwynne> any idea how I can regenerate it?
[18:31] <mattwynne> I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the apt package avahu
[18:31] <mattwynne> sorry avahi
[18:31] <ThisOtherGuy> Can anyone help me with an nvidia driver issue?
[18:32] <casa> mattwynne:  what can i do to fix an sd card
[18:32] <asane_> I get the following error when trying to run a program. Could anyone tell me what it means or how to fix it?

[18:32] <jovaro> I am having some problems with the languages in Gnome, the language selector at the login-screen only controls the language of non-gnome programs. The gnome language is controlled elsewhere. Is that a known bug?
[18:32] <casa> oerb:  how
[18:32] <bastidrazor> mattwynne: avahi-daemon is the package the pulls that. use dpkg -S filename to find out what package provides it
[18:33] <a3ist> ThisOtherGuy, a good tip for getting support in #ubuntu is to write your question up with specific details in a note or text editor so you can copy paste it here.  The more specifics the better.
[18:33] <longbi> hi all
[18:33] <a3ist> asane_, run this and pastebin the output:   "dpkg -l | grep fuse"
[18:33] <clueless_newbie> I'm bran new to linux so I have no idea what "Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: menu" means
[18:33] <ThisOtherGuy> a3ist: thanks - will post pastebin
[18:34] <longbi> can anyone help me with mouse gesture not working
[18:34] <mattwynne> bastidrazor: how can I get the package installer to re-install that file?
[18:34] <clueless_newbie> can somebody help me please
[18:34] <clueless_newbie> im trying to install graphical user interface for ufw
[18:34] <mattwynne> I've tried unintalling and re-installing the avahi-daemon package but it's still not there
[18:34] <jovaro> Also it seems to be impossible to change the language with the gnome-language-selector for only 1 user. It can only change things systemwide, is that the same for anyone but me?
[18:34] <a3ist> mattwynne, did you try "sudo service avahid start"
[18:34] <a3ist> installing a daemon won't start it automatically
[18:35] <asane_> a3ist: http://pastebin.org/321784
[18:35] <Jordan_U> clueless_newbie: How are you trying to install it?
[18:35] <Brunellus> sigh. update to Lucid just hosed my box
[18:35] <Brunellus> won't even start or give me a root shell or anything.
[18:35] <clueless_newbie> by clicking the deb i downloaded from http://gufw.tuxfamily.org/
[18:35] <mattwynne> a3ist: it does seem to have started by itself actually. What I'm trying to do is recover the config file
[18:35] <Brunellus> something to do with the fact that /proc isn't there?
[18:36] <clueless_newbie> by the way I'm runing linux off a flash drive that installed through Universal USB Installer,
[18:36] <Jordan_U> clueless_newbie: Install applications via Applications > Ubuntu Software Center instead
[18:36] <a3ist> asane_, looks like you have the right fuse libs; I'd check the user privileges for the file systems and truecrypt files
[18:36] <longbi> anyone???

[18:40] <Hdale85> Hey guys, I'm trying to install XBMC on ubuntu in a stand alone format but for some reason when I do the apt-get commands it says there are dependencies that won't be installed.... anyone have any idea's why?
[18:40] <FreetodrinkSR> profxavier: wireless.
[18:41] <loopidity> a3ist acer laptop
[18:41] <ThisOtherGuy> I'd like to use the latest nvidia binary driver
[18:41] <coz_> Thingymebob, did you use  /system/aministration/hardware driver
[18:41] <coz_> ThisOtherGuy,  sorry that was for you
[18:41] <ThisOtherGuy> or really anything that will work with vdpau in mythtv
[18:41] <clueless_newbie> been looking at the software install menu. Im also supposed to be able to install software by just clicking on deb right?
[18:41] <loopidity> a3ist only Sans font used with LCD option renders the problem
[18:41] <coz_> ThisOtherGuy,   did you use system/administration/hardware drivers
[18:41] <jovaro> Does anyone else have problems with the language selector? ie not being able to change the language for a single user?
[18:41] <profxavier> FreetodrinkSR: ok, you need to configure your wireless card, see it is installed [is this a new install] ?
[18:41] <ThisOtherGuy> coz_: I did but myth failed on finding vdpau to display
[18:42] <coz_> ThisOtherGuy,  ok hold on
[18:42] <a3ist> Hdale85, try installing from synaptic
[18:42] <ThisOtherGuy> coz_: so i tried to uninstall, reinstall and now I can't even start X

[18:42]  * ThisOtherGuy looking now
[18:42] <Hdale85> a3ist, yeah I was just thinking about using aptitude and seeing if it would handle it better lol
[18:43] <ThisOtherGuy> profxavier:  I did not
[18:43] <profxavier> FreetodrinkSR: iwconfig ?
[18:43] <coz_> ThisOtherGuy,   also how did you do the uninstall?
[18:43] <FreetodrinkSR> profxavier: or did you mean the Wireless drivers?
[18:43] <ThisOtherGuy> apt-get purge
[18:43] <coz_> ThisOtherGuy, mmm  well it may have been better to use hardware driver  for that
[18:43] <FreetodrinkSR> profxavier: hold on, she went back to Vista outta boredom.
[18:43] <a3ist> Hdale85, synaptic makes it easier to see dependencies without digging a lot
[18:43] <profxavier> ThisOtherGuy: so are you going to install the Nvidia driver from the source ?

[18:57] <sipior> greg_B: you can always try "sudo -u username -i"
[18:57] <The-Jag> conb123: thx
[18:57] <deadhead> atleast i finally got a response
[18:57] <sipior> deadhead: try asking a better question.
[18:57] <greg_B> re: dvd, i have tried mplayer, smplayer, vlc, gxine, totem-xine
[18:57] <profxavier> master1, in VMware, which OS is hosting?
[18:57] <deadhead> bleh
[18:57] <greg_B> i have all the codecs
[18:57] <MPX> Hello! I moved my home partition to another drive using "rsying -avP". Thing is, I had to do SUDO rsync -avP from the live cd as some premissions were denied. Everything works, but I'm afraid some permissions we're changed and that might give me future troubles. After I did this, my ubuntu would not boot, so I booted into terminal and did a "sudo chmod -R 777" to the home dir, to change EVERYTHING to my USER. So now, everything works, but then again, I'm
[18:57] <MPX> afraid I might have changed some locked settings to user. Is there a way to change the default files in the home dir that comes with the ubuntu install to their default permissions? Sorry for the long Q :) In fact, do I have anything to worry about? I just had to reinstall my FGLRX.
[18:58] <profxavier> good luck deadhead :D
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: if any of your users are a member of the admin group then they are admins and canuse sudo/gksudo/kdesu
[18:58] <deadhead> i only rewordrd it 3 or 4 times, lol,
[18:58] <sipior> deadhead: try rewording it in a way that makes sense to speakers of the english language.
[18:58] <conb123> The-Jag: But the problem is apparently with the graphics, so the fix in this thread might help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470822

[18:58]  * deadhead looks at ph33r an rolls his eye's
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Mpx: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER
[18:59] <jussi> deadhead: youve basically said: sound doesnt work.
[18:59] <Pici> deadhead: I'm looking at the last 30 lines you've said here and I'm not entirely sure what your issue is.  Can you try to state it all on one line, but with as much detail as possible for us.
[18:59] <erUSUL> MPX: you should have used « chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser »
[18:59] <guntbert> deadhead: there is no queue here - and rewording is not the same as repeating :-)
[18:59] <deadhead> whom we dealing with here today ph33r?
[18:59] <The-Jag> conb123: nice!
[18:59] <deadhead> lol
[18:59] <ubuntu> mother fucker
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Mpx: will give the user ownership of its own home folder
[18:59] <coz_> \join #elementary
[18:59] <erUSUL> MPX: there are files in your home that are wrong with 777 permissions
[18:59] <profxavier> master1: why is there a reference to the word dual boot, in your question ?
[18:59] <Pici> ubuntu: Please mind your language here.
[19:00] <conb123> The-Jag: Google is your friend by the way =D
[19:00] <master1> yes, in C drive, two OS are installed as dual boot, winXP and ubuntu 10.4 in same C drive so thats why i used that word
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Comb123: so are the other multitude of search engines available
[19:00] <The-Jag> conb123: yes sry to have asked here :(
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Master1: did you use wubi?
[19:00] <profxavier> master1: i really don't understand your question, I am going to move on to helping others.  Good luck
[19:00] <conb123> The-Jag: Not a problem at all
[19:01] <conb123> ActionParsnip: Ah, but google is the best
[19:01] <master1> yes i used wubi
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> Com123: no such thing
[19:01] <queso> I just upgraded from Jaunty -> Karmic and my ethernet connection isn't working anymore.  Where should I begin my troubleshooting?
[19:01] <master_of_master> hi, how can I limit inbound http traffic to a certain bandwidth?
[19:01] <MPX> erUSUL, that's what I thought. Thing is, I'm not THAT good with linux. Is there a way to fix this after the damage is done?
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> Master1: then the host files are accessible from /host
[19:01] <MPX> erUSUL, I had to do it though, quickly, as the other hdd was dying fast
[19:01] <clueless_newbie> Decent question for once- Im using Ubuntu on a flash-drive with persistent state. Is there a way to switch between persistent state and non persistent state inside Ubuntu.   Is...
[19:01] <clueless_newbie> ...this even possible?
[19:01] <greg_B> in the title bar of SMplayer, it says dvd://17//dev/sr0
[19:01] <pdg1> So... trying to try Ubuntu/xubuntu 8.10 and its giving me tonnes of errors with buffer I/O . Is it a problem with the burnt disk or maybe my drive
[19:02] <Sorrell>  /msg NickServ REGISTER freenode<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:02] <master1> running ubuntu as OS, and in ubuntu vmware installed, in which am running winXP
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> Master_of_master: i'd look into trickle
[19:02] <greg_B> and ti counted up to the 17
[19:02] <clueless_newbie> including downloaded files
[19:02] <master1> yes files are accessable
[19:02] <master1> but when i use winXP through vmware, data get corrupted
[19:02] <Pici> Sorrell: I suggest picking a better password and doing the command in a window where you wouldn't accidentally send it to 1500 people.
[19:02] <greg_B> this is not the behavior i get on another machine with the same software
[19:02] <charithm> hello
[19:02] <erUSUL> MPX: if you are the only user in the machine it may not be a pressing issue... anywaythe some programs will complain about permission in some config files. keep that in mind
[19:02] <ubutom_> lol Pici
[19:02] <greg_B> ideas?
[19:03] <BGL-[s]> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon
[19:03] <erUSUL> MPX: there is no automated way of fixing this that i know of
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> master1: if you are using vmware i'd ask in #vmware ,the guest OS is accessing the data. If there is corruption it sounds like a vmware issue
[19:03] <Pici> BGL-[s]: Yes?
[19:03] <charithm> can i aske back track
[19:03] <Pici> BGL-[s]: Please don't post random links here.
[19:03] <master1> ok i move to there, thank you for answering me and helping me out.
[19:03] <Pici> charithm: We do not support backtrack here, please use their support channel: #backtrack-linux
[19:03] <deadhead> khalid using xchat umm i dont think so<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(Quit: Ex-Chat)
[19:04] <charithm> back track is what
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded?
[19:04] <master1> thank you profxavier you also
[19:04] <clueless_newbie> Is backtrack aimed at me?
[19:04] <MPX> erUSUL, I am the only user. As long as it works right? My ubuntu works just like it did before and I have not had any problems. Is there anything in particular I should watch out for though?
[19:04] <guntbert> clueless_newbie: no
[19:04] <greg_B> i am sorry, i had an interruption.  any ideas about the strange dvd behavior?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Clueless_newbie: its for anyone running backtack expecting support here
[19:05] <erUSUL> MPX: as i said. any program that stores paswords or things like that will like more restrictive permissions and may complain about it.
[19:05] <charithm> can i change my user name and pass in backtrack
[19:05] <pdg1> Actionparsnip... do I sound like the kind of Person to md5 :p I actually burnt Ubuntu and then xubuntu so I assumed that chances were good I wouldn't have issues with both files
[19:05] <MPX> erUSUL, but are those programs stored in your home dir? I didn't know that root passwords and whatnot was stored there
[19:06] <clueless_newbie> well is ubuntu even capable of doing what I was asking?
[19:06] <greg_B> in other programs i get messages like "nav packet not found" and such
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: I assume nothing in here
[19:06] <erUSUL> MPX: no; root passwords are not. but mail; ssh keys; gpg ; firefox etc...
[19:06] <h00k> charithm: you need to head to #backtrack-linux for Backtrack support
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: statistically you could download an infinite number of files and never get a good one.
[19:06] <h00k> charithm: this isn't quite the place for that :)
[19:06] <MPX> erUSUL, Synaptic and aMSN started fine...if these two works then I'm good :)
[19:07] <joesin> what channel should I goto for usb device and driver info?
[19:07] <bmunger> How do I add another user to the system with an encrypted home directory for that person?
[19:07] <pdg1> Actionparsnip
[19:07] <MPX> Chrome does not complain either about stored passwords
[19:07] <erUSUL> MPX: fair enough :)
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> greg_B: trie d a different player
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | pdg1
[19:07] <charithm> so where i get support for back track
[19:07] <h00k> charithm: you need to head to #backtrack-linux for Backtrack support
[19:07] <h00k> charithm: /join #backtrack-linux
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: bad iso will make a bad install.
[19:07] <greg_B> yes, vlc, gxine, totem-xine mplayer
[19:07] <MPX> erUSUL, Thanks for the help :)
[19:07] <sajro> Hey all, I just installed UNR on a Gateway LT2023U, trying to dual-boot with Win 7. Windows boots fine, but Ubuntu hangs after GRUB. The recovery kernel option hangs as well. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: tried a few disks?
[19:07] <joesin> has anyone been able to get mimo usb monitors to work with ubuntu?
[19:07] <erUSUL> MPX: no problem
[19:08] <charithm> ok thanx have a nice day
[19:08] <greg_B> yes, all with similar behavior
[19:08] <pdg1> Actionparsnip. So how should I go about checking my downloads?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Sajro: boot to live cd and reinstall grub
[19:08] <greg_B> as i say, it works in desktop
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: ubottu gave you a link on how
[19:08] <iromli> how do i fix broken packages when installing vlc on lucid lynx ??
[19:08] <greg_B> i can open the dvd disks and view the files, so i don't think it's the drive
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Iromli: sudo apt-get -f install
[19:09] <joesin> so no dive with mimo?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: you don't have to open the disk, just select file -> play disk
[19:09] <pdg1> Actionparsnip. Sorry, I'm actually on irc on my Android phone :p missing a lot of stuff while o type
[19:09] <iromli> ActionParsnip: will try it now
[19:09] <bmunger> How do I add another user to the system with an encrypted home directory for that person?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | pdg1
[19:09] <clueless_newbie> does anybody know if there is a way of turning persistence on and off for Linux installed on a flash drive?
[19:09] <Jordan_U> clueless_newbie: Yes, you can change the kernel parameters at boot to not include persistence.
[19:10] <greg_B> yes, i would do that to play; i did this only to see if perhaps the drive could not see the disc
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: I'm on android phone too. Using andchat?
[19:10] <sajro> ActionParsnip: I reinstalled GRUB when I installed UNR again (I thought my initial issue was not formatting the / partition, but it happened even after doing that during UNR install).
[19:10] <greg_B> btw, i try to use open source formats as often as possible, but for dvds, i have no choice.
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: i'd uninstall the dvd packagesadvised by the guide then reinstall them
[19:10] <pdg1> Actionparsnip. Yeah, HTC hero :p
[19:10] <joesin> can anyone suggest a channel to go to regarding usb video drivers?
[19:11] <ciphergoth> Having trouble recording video with Cheese.  The live preview of the video looks fine, but when I start recording, I get a frame every few seconds :-(
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: g1 here
[19:11] <greg_B> likewise with mp3; car radio won't play oggs
[19:11] <MKM> ubotu : hi
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:11] <greg_B> ActionParsnip:  thanks.  I will try.  should i uninstall in a cetain order?
[19:11] <Pici> MKM: ubottu is a bot, it won't converse with you.
[19:11] <greg_B> yes, i have that, and medibuntu, and the libdvdread4
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: not really the deps will be handled for you
[19:12] <bmunger> How do I add another user to the system with an encrypted home directory for that person?
[19:12] <pdg1> Actionparsnip. At least you've got a full keyboard
[19:12] <joesin> Pici: seems like not many others are chiming up either though... ;)
[19:12] <Pici> joesin: :P
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Pdg1: totally :)
[19:12] <greg_B> bmunger:  what do you mean encrypted?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Sajro: I'm not so conversant with grub as I only single boot on all my systems
[19:13] <greg_B> is synaptic the best way to remove them all?
[19:13] <Firstgear> can anybody recommend a good local dictionary for ubuntu other than stardict
[19:13] <sajro> ah ok thanks anyway
[19:13] <laomao> hi... i'm building a very very lightweight desktop environment, so am using openbox as a window manager; I'd like something that allows me to launch programs by name without needing menus or icons - any suggestions?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Sajro: maybe someone else can chime in
[19:13] <bmunger> greg_B: it allows me to encrypt the home directory using ecryptfs during installation for the one user, i want to add another user with encrypted home directory
[19:14] <guntbert> laomao: you do that from a regular shell anyway
[19:15] <laomao> guntbert: yes - but if i launch emacs-snapshot-gtk from a shell, i see a bunch of stderr in the terminal - i dont want that
[19:15] <laomao> i'd like something more like quicksilver on a mac
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> laomao: most use alt+f2 to bring up a run dialogue. You may be able to use a shortcut key app to interpret shotcut combinations. Fluxbox is good at that too. You may get a package or 2 to make it fly in openbox if it doesn't have it
[19:15] <greg_B> ActionParsnip:  is synaptic the best way to remove them?  I think i would remove all the programs and start over--but not the medibuntu repositories
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Greg_b: its one way. There is no best
[19:16] <mattgyver> Anyone know how to get nautilus to autoplay media files on mouseover, it suddenly stopped working for me a few days back
[19:16] <laomao> ActionParsnip: alt+f2 doesn't do anyhting yet...
[19:16] <greg_B> one more thing:  i had totem-gstreamer and totem-xine but could not run totem-xine from command line
[19:17] <greg_B> ext
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Laomao: I use lxde which comes with openbox by default and it has the alt+f2 thing
[19:17] <ryan_> my grub.cfg is empty and i want to edit the order can anyone assist me?
[19:17] <rewati> hi my system is running slow will recompiling the kernel will help what all reason can be there which makes the system slow where can i find article for tweaks for speed
[19:17] <pdg1> Laomao, try gnome-do
[19:17] <laomao> ActionParsnip: let me read baout lxde
[19:17] <greg_B> Thank you all for your ideas.  Have a lovely day.
[19:17] <laomao> pdg1: thanks - will read abotut hat too
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_: run: sudo update-grub ,to generate the file
[19:18] <enigma1919> hello world!
[19:18] <ZachK_> enigma1919: ok...
[19:18] <ryan_> actionparsnip thanks!
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_: you don't edit that file as it is generated.  I believe that needs compiz etc
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | ryan_
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_: its a bit more involved
[19:20] <laomao> pdg1: yes, gnome-do is exactly what I want
[19:20] <ryan_> the command isn't working
[19:20] <longbi> hi everyone, i need help on mouse accessibility?
[19:20] <laomao> what's the best way to get gnome-do running within my openbox session when i log in?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Laomao: gnomedo reuires sompositing as far as I know
[19:20] <ryan_> actionparsip, the command isnt working
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_: what command?
[19:21] <ryan_> to edit grub2
[19:21] <sitdox> hi for all
[19:21] <ryan_> !grub2?
[19:21] <nucc1> anyone able to get colour printing from hp laserjet 2600n on ubuntu?
[19:21] <ciphergoth> Is there a way to change the default video output format?
[19:21] <ciphergoth> seems like I don't have enough CPU for ogv
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Ryan_; me typing !grub2 makes ubottu give you a link to a guide, !grub2 is NOT a command
[19:21] <ryan_> oh haha
[19:21] <rewati> hi my system is running slow will recompiling the kernel will help what all reason can be there which makes the system slow where can i find article for tweaks for speed

[19:22] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | ryan_
[19:22] <oldsmoky2> hi, folks... I'm a pretty inexperienced 10.04 user having an issue with the panel on top of the desktop screen. For the second time since I installed 10.04 last week, it opened without the logout option or the internet connections indicator. Any ideas?
[19:22] <sajro> ActionParsnip: i think i found my problem; i installed ubuntu on an extended partition. that's probably a stupid way to do it.
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Rewati: could set vm.swappiness to a low value if you have more than 1Gb RAm
[19:23] <longbi> hi dinya
[19:23] <guntbert> rewati: its highly unlikely the you will get more "speed" that way - define "slow" please
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Sajro: didn't think it mattered but if you found it and its an issue then i'd go with it
[19:23] <sajro> can't hurt to try
[19:23] <rewati> @actionparsnip i have 2 gb
[19:24] <guntbert> oldsmoky2: that happens now and then here too - just log out an in again
[19:24] <nucc1> ActionParsnip, i'm using lucid. it doesn't have the latest?
[19:24] <dinya> hello longbi
[19:24] <rewati> @guntbert my window is taking long time to minimize maximize application are taking long hr to open
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Rewati: vm swappiness at low values keeps apps in ram more, rather than using swap. Can make things smoother but won't really speed up compiles as they involve lots of access to slow physical disks
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Nucc1: not sure but its good to get the one on the site imho
[19:25] <longbi> dinya: can you help me with my mouse accesibility. its not working... please
[19:25] <Jordan_U> sajro: There's no problem with installing to an extended partition. Do you get any error message when you try to boot
[19:25] <oldsmoky2> thanks, guntbert... Is there an easy way to restart since I don't have the button up there in the top right?
[19:25] <laomao> ActionParsnip: works without compositing, but themes require it
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Nucc1: sometimes the one on the site says it will give extra features
[19:26] <rewati> @actionparsnip ok creating custom kernel is good or bad specially when every now and then there is new kernel update release
[19:26] <laomao> brb restarting x
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Laomao: I see. Cool
[19:26] <jaime> hi, fresh 10.4, sending thunderbird mail with attachment freezes the whole machine in mid progress, not even magic sysrq works. no problems without attachment, no problem receiving mail+attachment, no problem displaying/saving those. reinstalled TB, started off fresh profile, to no avail. any ideas
[19:26] <kalki> hello room
[19:26] <Zwei> If I'm MOVING a large file but accidentally cancelled, is the original copy still okay? - This is through the gui, not terminal.
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Rewati: nature of the beast dude.
[19:26] <nucc1> ActionParsnip, i'm going there now. see if it isn't too complicated to set up
[19:26] <kalki> irs 11:56 PM here
[19:26] <sajro> Jordan_U: oh there's not? ok well i get no error message (because the default boot is not verbose?) but it just sits there after selecting linux on grub. no indicator lights flash either.
[19:27] <guntbert> oldsmoky2: let me check -- I didn't see the "logout button" part
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Nucc1: download script, mark as executable. Run it as user (not sudo) in terminal
[19:27] <kalki> yeah zwei, it should be
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Peace out kids. Time to make some money
[19:27] <Zwei> kalki: Thanks :)
[19:27] <Jordan_U> sajro: Does it stay at the grub screen, or does the screen blank?
[19:28] <nucc1> ActionParsnip, ok.
[19:28] <kalki> zwei: it first gets copied and then the original is deleted
[19:28] <rewati> @actionparsnip sorry i didnt get u :(
[19:28] <sajro> Jordan_U: grub disappears, screen blanks save for a lone underscore (cursor? text input doesn't affect it) at the top left of the screen
[19:29] <Zwei> kalki: Ah, that's reassuring to know. Usually I do that manually, copy things, then ensure the copied version is okay, then delete the original.
[19:29] <Jordan_U> sajro: What graphics card?
[19:30] <ankush> hi :)
[19:30] <guntbert> oldsmoky2: right click on the panel, add to panel, select "log out"
[19:31] <sajro> Jordan_U: in addition, browsing the drive from the LiveUSB shows everything in apparent order. graphics card is Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950
[19:31] <kalki> zwei:i see
[19:31] <webdevbyjoss> hi
[19:31] <Zenith77> Hello, I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an Asus laptop (core i5, nvidia 360m, etc)
[19:31] <kalki> zwei: was checking some settings. dats y delayed reply
[19:31] <oldsmoky2> ok, thanks... looks like that will do it
[19:32]  * laomao returns
[19:32] <Zenith77> However, closing the lid and opening it doesn't exactly work (laptop never goes to sleep/hibernate and then when opened won't display anything)
[19:32] <Jordan_U> sajro: Try adding the kernel parameter "modeset=0", and if that doesn't help try "modeset=1"
[19:32] <Zenith77> Do i need to mess with some settings or is this out of scope for ubuntu and up to Asus to handle?
[19:32] <kalki> zenith: u've probably checked the power management
[19:33] <laomao> so... is compiz the thing that does nifty effects like zooming out to show all the open things at once?
[19:33] <sajro> Jordan_U: sorry for my ignorance, but where do i add this? menu.lst?
[19:33]  * laomao is so 1990s
[19:33] <nucc1> laomao, yeap.
[19:33] <Jordan_U> sajro: Press 'e' at boot to edit the menu entry temporarily
[19:33] <Jork> helo wich nvidia driver uses latest ubuntu 195...?
[19:33] <laomao> i've just got a new computer - with 2 monitors, and a decent graphics card, and 8G of RAM
[19:33] <laomao> so it's all new!
[19:33] <kalki> and rotating desktop too laomao
[19:34] <laomao> ok so do I just apt-get install compiz?
[19:34] <kalki> that's some memory
[19:34] <rewati> @actionparsnip sorry i didnt get u :(
[19:34] <Mrokii> Jork:  195.36.15
[19:34] <laomao> oh compiz is lready installed
[19:34] <kalki> nope, goto Synaptics and then do it laomao
[19:34] <nucc1> laomao, lol. just go to System > Preferences > Appearance
[19:34] <ankush> ive upgraded to lucid from 9.10, im unable to see the network manager on the panel.
[19:35] <kalki> its gone ankush
[19:35] <Mrokii> Jork:  That's what got installed when I let Ubuntu look for hardware-drivers.
[19:35] <laomao> nucc1: i'm using openbox! but i want some of that compositing love!
[19:35] <ankush> kalki: gone? live cd shows it...
[19:35] <nucc1> ankush, tough cookie to crack. run 'nm-applet' from a terminal and see what it says.
[19:35] <krish_i> hi everyone...
[19:35] <mgamerz> #ubuntu-server pointed me here
[19:35] <krish_i> can anyone help me with wireless setup..
[19:35] <nucc1> laomao, you can't use both openbox and compiz. they are both window managers.
[19:35] <ankush> nucc1: right on
[19:36] <guntbert> !wireless | krish_i
[19:36] <krish_i> everytime i enable wirelesss, my laptop freezes in a couple of minutes..
[19:36] <laomao> nucc1: oh!
[19:36] <kalki> nm-applet: An instance of nm-applet is already running.
[19:36] <kalki> ** (nm-applet:13249): WARNING **: <WARN>  constructor(): Couldn't initialize the D-Bus manager.
[19:36] <krish_i> is this a bug.?
[19:36] <sajro> Jordan_U: i added modeset=0, nothing different, but i'm not sure i added it correctly. i pressed 'e' on the grub entry and put it at the bottom of the editing window. did i do this wrong or should i just try 1 now?
[19:36] <nucc1> ankush, in that case, close the terminal, then use ALT + F2 and then run nm-applet from there.
[19:36] <laomao> ok so compiz replaces metacity in the gnome environment
[19:36] <nucc1> laomao, yeap.
[19:37] <Mrokii> laomao:  you probably should install Compizconfig Settings manager.
[19:37] <mgamerz> I am installing proprietary NVIDIA drivers on Ubuntu Server (Im going to record TV with this)
[19:37] <mgamerz> and i need the hardware acceleration part
[19:37] <nucc1> laomao, IMHO, compiz is what metacity should've been from the get go.
[19:37] <buppa_> Anyone else having problems with properitary drivers for ATI Radeon HD 5770? My CPU usage is very high.
[19:37] <Juanca> hi... somebody unplugged my computer and now I can't enter ubuntu, it seems to be starting and the login screen appears, but after that it loads the background image and freezes. I've tried to enter in error proof mode but it ends with an underscore blinking
[19:37] <istevenmon> hi guys, is there any way to recover an NTFS FS after mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1 ?
[19:37] <mgamerz> but the kernel will not rebuild
[19:37] <Jordan_U> sajro: It needs to go at the end of the line that begins with "linux" (which may wrap around since it doesn't all fit on one line)
[19:37] <Jork> Mrokii: thnx that's are latest drivers
[19:37] <Mrokii> laomao:  I am not sure if that is installed by default, but it let's you change all kinds of compiz-things.
[19:38] <Jordan_U> istevenmon: Probably not, but you may be able to recover some files with photorec
[19:38] <laomao> basically i want a work environment with no gnome menus or applets - just some terminals, emacs, a brower and some virtual machines; so openbox is perfect, with gnome-do to launch stuff and the ability to see all the open apps in one shot
[19:38] <kalki> gnome should suffice ur needs laomao
[19:39] <sajro> Jordan_U: that line ends in "ro quiet splash", are you saying to make that "ro quiet splash modeset=0"?
[19:39] <Mgamerz> eh
[19:39] <Mgamerz> what is the lucid name for the 'HardWare Drivers' application?
[19:39] <JoshDreamland> error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory
[19:39] <Mgamerz> I'm running Server (they won't help me) and it's not installed when I install X
[19:39] <nucc1> laomao, then why do you still need compiz?
[19:39] <nucc1> laomao, ah, he he. you can only get zoom from compiz.
[19:39] <ankush> nucc1: nthng happend
[19:39] <kalki> jockey-gtk
[19:39] <JoshDreamland> That file was included by another file under /usr/include. Meaning there's something wrong with my /usr/ folder.
[19:39] <laomao> nucc1: I understand
[19:39] <nucc1> ankush, "nothing happened" as a result of which action?
[19:39] <Mgamerz> thanks
[19:40] <JoshDreamland> How can I repair it?
[19:40] <ankush> nucc1: alt+f2 nm-applet
[19:40] <nucc1> ankush, when you press alt+f2, a window should pop up, where you type 'nm-applet' inside.
[19:41] <ankush> nucc1: done that..
[19:41] <Jordan_U> sajro: Yes, and you probably also want to remove the "quiet" and "splash"
[19:41] <ankush> nucc1: nothing happens after that
[19:41] <nucc1> ankush, when you ran it from the terminal, did the applet show up?
[19:41] <sipior> JoshDreamland: ensure that the package "libc6-dev-i386" is installed.
[19:42] <ankush> nucc1: no, the error that kalki showed... came up
[19:42] <kalki> nuccl, it seems ankush needs front-end not the cli one
[19:42] <JoshDreamland> sipior: hero status
[19:42] <JoshDreamland> for the next ten minutes at very least
[19:42] <nucc1> ankush, or did it give you an error message?
[19:42] <zanberdo> is there a way to select options when booting 10.04 live as one could with previous versions? specifically the nodmraid option? I don't see anything on the initial boot screen
[19:42] <sipior> i'll try to enjoy it...
[19:42] <sajro> Jordan_U: oh, verbosity! :D ok modeset=0 it still hangs, last line printed is "[    2.304639] ata4: DUMMY". i'll try with modeset=1.
[19:43] <Mgamerz> this channel is SOOO hard to read in irssi
[19:43] <ankush> nucci : exactly same as kalki gave above, except nm-applet:2149
[19:44] <Jordan_U> Mgamerz: Actually I find it easier with irssi than with most, in large part due to "/lastlog" and "/scrollback"
[19:44] <launch> Mgamerz, put JOIN QUIT and PART into another window
[19:44] <Pici> !quietirssi
[19:44] <launch> Pici nice tips
[19:44] <Mgamerz> hopefully that works :P
[19:44] <nucc1> ankush, ah, ok, try 'killall nm-applet'
[19:44] <nucc1> ankush,  in the terminal
[19:44] <Mgamerz> My tablet is being stupid so i am just using irssi instead of xchat
[19:44] <nucc1> ankush, that's why i said it is a tough cookie.
[19:45] <nucc1> :)
[19:45] <sajro> Jordan_U: and now it hangs at something one after the "ata: DUMMY" message; this says "[   2.298199] b43-pci-bridge 0000:01:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16", which i assume has something to do with wireless. still no indicator lights.
[19:45] <nucc1> anyone know where i can manually download the hplip plugin? the ubuntu method keeps telling me no internet connection detected
[19:46] <ankush> nucc1: did it using sudo.. tried running nm-applet again
[19:46] <MPX> I managed to change every file and folder within my $HOME to my user, including every hidden file. Is that a very, very, very bad thing? What's the worst that could happen? Every program that requires a password works
[19:46] <nucc1> ankush, you don't need sudo.
[19:46] <nucc1> ankush, what did killall nm-applet say?
[19:46] <buppa_> Anyone else having problems with properitary drivers for ATI Radeon HD 5770? My CPU usage is very high. I need help! Is open source drivers supported for Radeon HD 5770?
[19:47] <Jordan_U> Mgamerz: Knowing your entire situation, I'd say that the easiest solution is to just install Ubuntu desktop. If you have SG2D still on your SD card then you can just create a directory, /boot-isos/, put the Ubuntu Desktop CD in that directory, and boot the iso with SG2D (rather than using unetbootin, which will clobber SG2D)
[19:47] <Mgamerz> grr
[19:47] <Mgamerz> forgot to install gnome
[19:47] <laomao> what's the default jabber client called?
[19:47] <Mgamerz> all it gave me was xterm and it just totally locked up
[19:47] <ankush> nucc1:nothing..
[19:47] <ubutom_> MPX, did a chmod -R 777 once to all files in my /home/ folder, didn't do anything bad for me :)
[19:48] <iceroot> ubutom_: never do that!!!!
[19:48] <nucc1> ankush, then do 'nm-applet' again,
[19:48] <ubutom_> MPX, was because I copied it from another location and was too lazy  and didn't know better
[19:48] <MPX> ubutom_, Awesome! :D
[19:48] <MPX> Same here ubutom_
[19:48] <Mgamerz> i'm already running server
[19:48] <Mgamerz> i reinstalled it
[19:48] <Mgamerz> so everything is good
[19:48] <nucc1> ankush, basically, we need to terminate the current copy of nm-applet, and run a new one.
[19:48] <ankush> nucc1: it shows the same error again...applet is already running
[19:48] <Mgamerz> i went through all of this on the first server install i had
[19:48] <Barrett> ?
[19:48] <iceroot> ubutom_: now the wholeworld can see your private ssh-key and so on
[19:48] <nucc1> ankush, with number: 2149?
[19:49] <MPX> ubutom_ One of my hdd was dying (the one with the $HOME) and I copied home to another. Now, I didnt want to repartition it and just mirror the partition as I had 600 gb worth of files on it
[19:49] <MPX>  :P
[19:49] <ubutom_> iceroot, no, was a previous install
[19:49] <ubutom_> wow 600gb :D
[19:49] <ankush> nucc1: no, this time 2273
[19:49] <nucc1> then try 'kill 2149'
[19:49] <MPX> iceroot, is there a way to change this?
[19:49] <Jordan_U> Mgamerz: jocky is the name of the "restricted drivers" app, you can use "jocky-text" without X, or the normal "jockey-gtk"
[19:49] <psyhitus> hello, i have a problem, my notebook ASUS k50IN can't restart ubuntu 10.04, but can shutdown... How to repair it?((
[19:49] <laomao> hometime! thanks for all the help!
[19:50]  * laomao curtsies.
[19:50] <nucc1> ankush, i see. i've encountered this problem before. requires a bit of fiddling. try stopping the network manager service. 'sudo service network-manager stop'
[19:50] <iceroot> MPX: to undo the 777 thing? no not without a backup
[19:50] <MPX> damn :S
[19:50] <iceroot> MPX: so never ever use 777
[19:51] <nucc1> gedit
[19:51] <nucc1> oops.
[19:51] <jdizzle> anyone here play with virtual box?
[19:51] <MPX> iceroot, I had to do something, My HDD was dying pretty fast
[19:51] <ankush> nucc1: did that
[19:51] <Sasquatch7> is it possible to view the code of applications?
[19:51] <jdizzle> and have problems with slow clocks?
[19:51] <ubutom_> iceroot, MPX, maybe he could just change the security-critical ones?
[19:51] <nucc1> ankush, when you stop the nm-service, run 'nm-applet' . you don't need sudo when running nm-applet.
[19:51] <iceroot> MPX: cp, rsync, dd? no need for 777
[19:52] <MPX> iceroot, I had to do sudo rsync from livecd as rsync just didnt cut it
[19:52] <ankush> nucc1:same error with different number
[19:52] <MPX> That changed alot of permissions, mostly all, to root
[19:52] <ubutom_> or better yet, how about deleting all hidden folders, except mail and other stuff and just generating new ssh keys and so on?
[19:52] <Sasquatch7> Is it possible to find the code for applications and if so is it possible to view the code?
[19:52] <Mrokii> Sasquatch7:  Depends on the kind of "application" I would say. If it's a compiled one then I think no, if it's just an executable script (like a python-app) then yes.
[19:52] <kalki> nuccl: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=501045&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=501044&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=54
[19:53] <nucc1> ankush, try 'kill number' where number is the number given to you by the nm-applet commant.
[19:53] <kalki> nuccl: typo...sorry
[19:53] <sadiudsa> coto
[19:53] <nucc1> ankush, by the way, when you did the sudo service network-manager stop, what did it say?
[19:53] <Sasquatch7> Mrokii: Ok, I was thinking lets say gedit or terminal or anything of that nature, so for those it would be a no?
[19:53] <ubuntu> hola
[19:53] <ubutom_> iceroot, MPX or maybe creating another user and moving the needed stuff back, by that way the folders will have the right permissions for the new user, the content maybe not :(
[19:53] <erUSUL> !es | ubuntu
[19:54] <Mrokii> Sasquatch7:  Well, as these are open source, I am sure you can download the source *somewhere*. Though I wouldn't know where, heh.
[19:54] <sadiudsa> porque
[19:54] <MPX> ubutom_, that would be a good idea! Will it work?
[19:54] <Sasquatch7> Mrokii: ok, cheers, that was my thinking.
[19:54] <xylander> #ubuntu.pl
[19:54] <buppa_> Anyone else having problems with properitary drivers for ATI Radeon HD 5770? My CPU usage is very high. I need help! Is open source drivers supported for Radeon HD 5770?
[19:54] <ubutom_> MPX, don't know... just a guess on my part
[19:54] <Mrokii> sash_:  That's the beauty of Open Source :) Somewhere on the net you will find the source to it, heh.
[19:54] <Mrokii> oops
[19:54] <erUSUL> Sasquatch7: you can enable the source repositories and do « sudo apt-get source packagename » or go directly "upstream" i.e. the project website
[19:55] <Mrokii> Sasquatch7: That's the beauty of Open Source :) Somewhere on the net you will find the source to it, heh.
[19:55] <MPX> ubutom_, iceroot can't I just change my user to "desktop user" under users?
[19:55]  * arianit is away: I'm busy
[19:55] <erUSUL> !away > arianit
[19:55] <Sasquatch7> erUSUL: Thanks!
[19:55] <ankush> nucc1: it said  network manager stop/waiting
[19:57] <iceroot> MPX: for what?
[19:57] <Zenith77> if ubuntu isn't properly hibernating/sleeping when I close my laptop lid, is there anything I can do or should I contact Asus and see what they say?
[19:57] <ubutom_> MPX, was I read it, you changed the permissions back to your user, so I don't think you will be running in much trouble
[19:57] <nucc1> ankush, run gnome-session-properties
[19:57] <ubuntu> hola
[19:57] <ankush> nucc1: i ran the command ps -All | grep nm .. it gave a ps with pid 2217 2133 . ps name is nm-applet.
[19:57] <MPX> iceroot, I'm just tossing out questions and Ideas to things I have no clue about. That's what. I thought perhaps you'd have more clue then me
[19:57] <MPX> The reason being you being quiet
[19:58] <iceroot> MPX: the reason is that you cant repair 777 if you dont have a backup of the acls
[19:58] <nucc1> ankush, open gnome-session-properties, uncheck network-manager from there. go to the options tab, save the current session, then log out, log back in, and run nm-applet from terminal.
[19:59] <MPX> iceroot, would creating a new user and move the user folders (like videos, pictures and whatnot) to that dir work?
[19:59] <iceroot> MPX: maybe you can use getfacl on an exisiting user, to get reh chmod-modes and apply it on your files (change username)
[19:59] <ubutom_> MPX, you did do what erUSUL adn Action Parsnip said, yes? The part with chown youruser:youruser /home/youruser/ ?
[20:00] <MPX> ubutom_, no I did a chmod. :( This was before they said to use Chown
[20:00] <iceroot> MPX: the problems are not videos pictures or something like that, the problems are ssh-keys, keyring and so on
[20:00] <MPX> iceroot, but can I just create a new user?
[20:00] <ubutom_> MPX, iceroot, or is that not possible afterwards?
[20:00] <iceroot> MPX: of your
[20:00] <MPX> and delete the old?
[20:00] <buppa_> Anyone else having problems with properitary drivers for ATI Radeon HD 5770? My CPU usage is very high. I need help! Is open source drivers supported for Radeon HD 5770?
[20:01] <edbian> buppa_, The best way to find an easy solution is to search synaptic for Radeon 5770.
[20:01] <MPX> If I could just create ANOTHER user and move some dirs to that, that would be FINE :)
[20:01] <MPX> But I need to know if this would fix it
[20:01] <edbian> buppa_, If there is a package that has that in the description it's usually a driver for your card.  (Also, yes, I think there is an open source driver.  A better question is if it's better?)
[20:01] <Zenith77> if ubuntu isn't properly hibernating/sleeping when I close my laptop lid, is there anything I can do or should I contact Asus and see what they say?
[20:01] <ankush> nucc1, its showing some errors , but the icon is back
[20:01] <nucc1> MPX, you can always chown your files to the new user.
[20:02] <buppa_> edbian, when i installed the drivers from hardware drivers section that ubuntu recommended it said with and AMD logo "unsupported hardware"
[20:02] <iceroot> MPX: if you are only interested in pictures and so on the 777 is not that bad, i am talking about important things like keywords and so on
[20:02] <Clouse> Hi there all, sorry if this is a bit off topic but how to I register myself and my nick with channelserve? I vaguely remember typing a command years ago with my user nick and creating a password but have forgotten it all. Anyone care to tell me what to do?
[20:02] <buppa_> edbian, but when i downloaded the ati driver and isntalled from the website it said it worked but CPU usage is very high
[20:02] <ubutom_> iceroot, will sudo chown -r MPX:MPX /home/MPX for example reset the permissions to something healthier or will it stay 777?
[20:02] <nucc1> ankush, that's a start. what are the errors. you can send it in a private message.
[20:02] <ankush> nucc1, it shows network manager is not running
[20:02] <MPX> iceroot, I know. But will it fix it if I create a new user and log into that? Will that new user have that fixed permissions yes/no?
[20:02] <ankush> nucc1, ok
[20:02] <iceroot> ubutom_: chown is chaging the owner, not the permission
[20:03] <iceroot> MPX: yes
[20:03] <nucc1> ankush, recall you 'stopped' network-manager?
[20:03] <nucc1> ankush, just do in a terminal 'sudo service network-manager start'
[20:03] <MPX> Excellent. Then I'll do that. :)
[20:03] <DeliriumTremens> What does it mean if I'm in the terminal and suddenly I get the message "The system is going down for halt NOW!"
[20:03] <DeliriumTremens> I didn't even do anything
[20:03] <parent> I tried the ati drivers on 9.10 & Lucid and got them damn watermark logos
[20:04] <pingya> my thinkpad seems to run really hot without increasing fan speed --is there someway to check the fan options?
[20:04] <ubutom_> iceroot, MPX hhm, but when you move configuration stuff from the old user over to the new, it will still have the wrong permissions, no?
[20:04] <drmagoo> I've got a problem since upgrading to the 2.6.32-22 kernel, I've got no sound anymore. Have tried to reload the drivers but it doesnt hwlp...Anyone got any idea on what to try?
[20:05] <pvl1> how can i get the python2.4-dbus library in lucid
[20:05] <pvl1> drmagoo, try alsamixer?
[20:05] <iceroot> ubutom_: yes, still 777
[20:06] <drmagoo> pv11 > "cannot open mixer: no such file or directory"
[20:06] <DeliriumTremens> ok then
[20:06] <MPX> I'll just make a backup of all personal files on the hdd, boot from livecd, remove home dir, make a new homedir with a new system
[20:06] <pyghassen> hi there
[20:06] <ubutom_> iceroot, ok, but it could be possible to set the permissions to something saner like 644 or something
[20:06] <pyghassen> any one knows a good uml creator tool in ubuntu
[20:06] <iceroot> ubutom_: you have to know for every file the correct permission
[20:06] <parent> how do I get rid of the Testing use only & Unsupported hardware watermark
[20:06] <QuiltPants1> hi all, is it just me or is it confusing to find the stable release of the wine package in the software centre? Could someone please help me locate it?
[20:06] <iceroot> with 644 you have still the problem that others can read everything
[20:07] <iceroot> ubutom_:
[20:07] <ubutom_> iceroot, okay, but by doing something like that one could at least fix the security issues :)
[20:07] <Mgamerz> DeliriumTremens
[20:07] <Sonderblade> how do you stop pulseaudio from restarting when you kill it?
[20:07] <Mgamerz> I beleive it is when it just shuts down
[20:07] <ubutom_> well, thanks iceroot and MPX, another thing learned :)
[20:07] <pyghassen> any one knows a good uml creator tool in ubuntu?
[20:08] <iceroot> ubutom_: sure, as i said you have to know all permissions or a getfacl backup
[20:08] <adilalpman> hi all
[20:08] <MPX> Thanks yourself :)

[20:15] <Sorrell> anyone know where I can buy ebooks that will interface with calibre?
[20:16] <monokrome> Why does the Ubuntu website show how to burn Ubuntu in Windows, but not in Ubuntu? :D
[20:16] <Sorrell> because it's easy in Ubuntu :P
[20:16] <monokrome> Good point! :D
[20:16] <iceroot> monokrome: because you normally dont burn a ubuntu-cd using ubuntu
[20:17] <Sorrell> disc for a friend?
[20:17] <adilalpman> cany anybody help me?
[20:17] <Zenith77> ask your question first
[20:17] <monokrome> iridian: Ubuntu Server
[20:17] <Sorrell> adilalpman:  depends
[20:17] <BasketCase> monokrome: it does
[20:17] <adilalpman> i have already asked it :S
[20:17] <iceroot> Sorrell: that is not the common case but if you like to burn a cd, use brasero or k3b and choose disc image (iso)
[20:17] <urlwallace> Im having 10.5 freezing for 5 secs at a time when running flash in any browser
[20:17] <Alphanaut> anyone here familiar with KVpnc?
[20:17] <Alphanaut> hmm

[20:18] <iceroot> Sorrell: ah ok :)
[20:18] <alabd> Good day all does ubuntu have commercial edition ?
[20:18] <Sorrell> adilalpman:  did you try setting the sound output device in pulse?
[20:19] <King_of_Metal> hi, how do I prevent /sbin/wpa_supplicant from respawning everytime I kill it? I want to run my own wpa_supplicant
[20:19] <iceroot> alabd: they have commercial support
[20:19] <sajro> Jordan_U: nevermind, it works, i had to switch the first boot device in the BIOS from USB to IDE0. thanks for your help.

[20:19] <adilalpman> sorrel could u pls help me how can i use it

[20:20] <adilalpman> i cant find control center in gnome
[20:20] <adilalpman> :S
[20:20] <anodesni> How can I install flash 10.1?
[20:20] <adilalpman> its name was control center in kde as u knoıw
[20:20] <iceroot> alabd: as i told you, no, but commercial support
[20:20] <BasketCase> alabd: what is it you want from a commercial version?
[20:20] <Sorrell> you should be able to right click on the sound icon and go from there.
[20:20] <alabd> iceroot: thanks
[20:21] <iceroot> adilalpman: gnome-control-center
[20:21] <ubutom_> not kontrol kenter? scnr adilalpman :)
[20:21] <iromli> mplayer is broken in lucid? how do i install mplayer?
[20:21] <Sorrell> adilalpman:  I would say that there are some known issues with sound blaster cards.
[20:21] <adilalpman> :(
[20:21] <trism> anodesni: if you download the beta from adobe, you can extract the file to ~/.mozilla/plugins if you just want to install it for your current user
[20:21] <adilalpman> but it worked when i install ubuntu 10.04 before :(
[20:21] <spezticle> how do i disable gnome's network manager completely so i can use ifup instead?
[20:21] <Sam_Fisher> Howdy Ya'll
[20:21] <anodesni> trism, firefox does not detect it
[20:21] <ubutom_> adilalpman, did you also install kde with 10.04?
[20:22] <trism> anodesni: do you have another flash already installed?
[20:22] <adilalpman> no
[20:22] <anodesni> trism, no
[20:22] <Sam_Fisher> If i had a nickle for ever time someone said "it worked before 10.04"
[20:22] <adilalpman> only gnome
[20:22] <completenewbie> Ubuntu will not allow me to edit my polipo config file even though I switched to an administer accountant with full rights that I just cread
[20:22] <completenewbie>
[20:22] <trism> anodesni: you need to exit firefox and restart it before it will detect it
[20:22] <completenewbie> any ideas why not?
[20:22] <adilalpman> i didnt install kubuntu-desktop package
[20:22] <^Alita> how can i made wicd stop to ask me the password at the logon
[20:22] <^Alita> ?
[20:22] <anodesni> trism, let me try
[20:23] <ubutom_> hm, adilalpman, maybe in system stuff, dunno, am right now on lubuntu, it's a bit different than gnome
[20:23] <spezticle> and is there a search command to look for 'string' INSIDE of files through a directory structure?
[20:23] <iceroot> spezticle: grep -ir searchstring *  (inside the dir you want to search)
[20:23] <Sam_Fisher> I have dual monitors and each is separate. Nvidia driver. How do I make one the master?
[20:23] <adilalpman> where is
[20:23] <iceroot> spezticle: or replace * with the dir
[20:24] <spezticle> iceroot: will it do it recursively or do i add --recursive or something like that?
[20:24] <adilalpman> gnome-control-center in menus :(
[20:24] <Sam_Fisher> Where does Pidgin hide it's sound files? Not in .purple
[20:24] <iceroot> spezticle: grep -ir(ecursive)
[20:24] <iceroot> spezticle: its already in mein command
[20:24] <spezticle> iceroot: thanks :) i was jsut noticing that
[20:24] <Sam_Fisher> mein menu is chinese?
[20:24] <ubutom_> adilalpman, you could try to start it with alt F2 and then type gnome-control-center to start it
[20:25] <completenewbie> So any ideas why I cant edit a config file in an administrator account  with full accesses?
[20:25] <iceroot> completenewbie: medium is mounted as rw?
[20:26] <alabd> iceroot: but here http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu is written :Ubuntu is different from the commercial Linux offerings that preceded it because it doesn't divide its efforts between a high-quality commercial version and a free,
[20:26] <iceroot> alabd: yes, and the question is?
[20:26] <spezticle> i'm having a problem with ifup getting an IP with DHCP. it seems my router is offering a wrong ip address :DHCPOFFER of <IP_ADDRESS> from <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:26] <completenewbie> I'm using it on a flash drive with a rw volume
[20:26] <iceroot> alabd: commercial offerings are sles, red hat, ucs
[20:26] <spezticle> it should be offering 192.x.x.x not 193?
[20:27] <adilalpman> i try speaker-test -c6 command but i cant hear any sound :(
[20:27] <alabd> iceroot:  does ubuntu have commercial version ?
[20:27] <completenewbie> and polipo did not come with the iso and was downloaded through the application center
[20:27] <iceroot> alabd: again, no!!
[20:27] <erUSUL> alabd: you can get commenrcial support
[20:27] <iceroot> alabd: but commercial support
[20:27] <erUSUL> !support | alabd
[20:27] <alabd> thanks
[20:27] <iceroot> !canocial | alabd
[20:27] <iceroot> !canoncial | alabd
[20:28] <Costanza> anyone that runs firefox from the daily ppa
[20:28] <Costanza> hello
[20:28] <adilalpman> i really tired try to use my soundcard on linux with different distros till nearly 1 month :( :'(
[20:28]  * erUSUL hands iceroot a cup of tea
[20:28] <Sam_Fisher> Where does Pidgin hide it's sound files? Not in .purple
[20:28] <Costanza> i downloaded firefox 3.7 from it and it crash when i try to start it :/
[20:28] <no-name_> "Do you want to run * or display its conents?" - "* is an executable text file". How do I make it display in gedit on double click without this dialogue box by default?
[20:28] <iceroot> !canonical
[20:29] <Sam_Fisher> Costanza, How far does it get?
[20:29] <completenewbie> nobody has any ideas?
[20:29] <iceroot> he is gone :(
[20:29] <Sam_Fisher> completenewbie, how much experience do you have with Ubuntu?
[20:29] <Costanza> it gets nowhere.. i start it i see firefox in the bar down on the screen and after few seconds it is gone.. it does not start at all
[20:30] <completenewbie> just got it today
[20:30] <nucc1_> no-name_, remove the "execute" permissions from it.
[20:30] <Ublost_> can you mount all dev at once in ubuntu or do you have to do them one at a time?
[20:30] <completenewbie> but I know about administrator accountants
[20:30] <Costanza> the app does not show up
[20:30] <Sam_Fisher> completenewbie, just joking with you!
[20:30] <submain> Ublos_: mount -a
[20:30] <no-name_> thank you nucc1_
[20:30] <Sam_Fisher> completenewbie, hope you stick it out! It's worth it.
[20:31] <Sam_Fisher> Costanza, well it is starting but not finding some files. Did you install it from a Deb?
[20:31] <Costanza> i install it from ubuntu software center.. and there i added the daily firefox ppa
[20:31] <nucc1_> OMG! downloading 21MB at 3.09KB/s. :( I hate Gprs.
[20:32] <Costanza> "PPA for ubuntu mozilla daily build team"
[20:32] <ubutom_> nucc1_, I think he meant the dialog, not the file :)
[20:32] <no-name_> nucc1_, would that be chmod -x 'file' ?
[20:32] <Sam_Fisher> Costanza, I would ask someone here how to use terminal to uninstal FF and then reinstall
[20:32] <Costanza> i can uninstall firefox from software center..
[20:32] <Sam_Fisher> nucc1_,  stop bragging about your FIOS jerk
[20:32] <ubutom_> Costanza, do you have e firefox profile with bookmarks, etc?
[20:33] <nucc1_> no-name_, chmod a-x 'file' i guess. it's easiest to right-click, select properties, and uncheck "execute"
[20:33] <Sam_Fisher> nucc1_, just kidding
[20:33] <nucc1_> Sam_Fisher, i wish it was fios
[20:33] <etrask> Hello, I am having a problem with the Gnome terminal, and vi in particular. It seems the keymap is not what it should be, becasue vi is doing some funny things. The right arrow key inserts a capital C and a newline, backspace simply moves the cursor left, etc
[20:33] <no-name_> ok
[20:33] <ubutom_> Costanza, could be something in the profile thats bugging firefax
[20:33] <completenewbie> IS there a but that could prevent me from gaining full administrator rights?
[20:33] <h00k> Costanza: If you're having problems with the PPA, I'd check with Firefox people, it's not really something that's supported
[20:34] <completenewbie> because it seems like even though I created a full administrator account I still cant do things like edit files
[20:34] <nucc1_> Sam_Fisher, trying to download hplip. need to print a coloured document. i wish ubuntu would just include this stuff by default.
[20:34] <h00k> !ppa | Costanza
[20:34] <Sam_Fisher> ubutom_, I didn't think of that it's his Profile I bet
[20:34] <ubutom_> Costanza, would make a backup of your .Mozilla or .Firefox folder and try using a blank one
[20:34] <cipher42> is anyone else having problems with ddclient since 10.04?
[20:34] <nucc1_> completenewbie, where is the file located?
[20:34] <Costanza_> sorry .. firefox namoroka crashed
[20:34] <edbian> completenewbie, The "full administrator" is root.  You can log in as root by typing su root
[20:34] <etrask> nucc1_ I'm about 99% certain I saw "Preparing hplip..." on the install screen of 10.04 :P
[20:34] <Sam_Fisher> nucc1_, hell ya but Windows is terrified of us! I like that.
[20:34] <ubutom_> Sam_Fisher, yeah, could be, especially extensions
[20:35] <nucc1_> completenewbie, you can only edit files that were created by you. and NO. Do not log in as root, especially if you are a newbie.
[20:35] <Zenith77> completenewbie: that's because it doesn't work like you think it does :). Try doing sudo <whatever command>
[20:35] <Zenith77> like sudo nano myfile.txt
[20:35] <edbian> completenewbie, Part your not supposed to log in as root unless you have to.  This is one of the principals of linux security
[20:35] <Sam_Fisher> ubutom_, He should backup the profile and let it create a new one
[20:35] <Sam_Fisher> Where does Pidgin hide it's sound files? Not in .purple
[20:35] <I-I> proven.
[20:35] <I-I> defeated.
[20:35] <Guest75069> Can anyone tell me what could be going on, when I ping google.com its a unkown host but when I ping the ip I got a 96% packet loss after sending 57 packets
[20:35] <Zenith77> completenewbie: also, if you created the file while you had elevated privelages, you can't edit it with out those privelages again
[20:36] <Sam_Fisher> I need the sweet melodies of pidgin playing in my Xchat!!!!!!!!!!
[20:36] <etrask> Hello, I am having a problem with the Gnome terminal, and vi in particular. It seems the keymap is not what it should be, becasue vi is doing some funny things. The right arrow key inserts a capital C and a newline, backspace simply moves the cursor left, etc
[20:36] <h00k> !punctuation | Sam_Fisher
[20:36] <Guest75069> I also can't access local ips or ping my router
[20:36] <Sam_Fisher> Guest75069, how is your web browsing?
[20:36] <h00k> etrask: you can 'sudo apt-get install vim' to correct that :)
[20:36] <completenewbie> I installed polipo under the default account. I could not edit the file so I figured I should create an administrator account
[20:36] <Guest75069> Sam fisher can't go on any website and I don't think it'd the dns
[20:36] <etrask> h00k thank you! I cant work without vi of course
[20:37] <Costanza__> something is wrong with namoroka.. it freezes all the time
[20:37] <edbian> Guest75069, Well if you get unknown host then you need to fix your DNS.  I don't know why you're losing so many packets.
[20:37] <h00k> etrask: no problem :)
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee> salam
[20:37] <Zenith77> completenewbie: where is the file located
[20:37] <Sam_Fisher> Where does Pidgin hide it's sound files? Not in .purple
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee> linux62
[20:37] <Guest75069> Network manager also says I'm disconnected after 15 or so minutes
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee> help
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee>  for
[20:37] <h00k> !ask | nathalieeeeee
[20:37] <completenewbie> etc/polipo/config
[20:37] <nathalieeeeee>  linux62
[20:37] <ubutom_> lol Costanza_ just had to google namoroka :)
[20:38] <nathalieeeeee> hoo
[20:38] <Zenith77> completenewbie: yea you need root access or "elevated privelages" to edit files in there, I'm pretty sure
[20:38] <Zenith77> so open up terminal and do
[20:38] <completenewbie> Okay thankyou
[20:38] <Zenith77> sudo nano /etc/polipo/config
[20:38] <Pici> !enter
[20:38] <Zenith77> completenewbie: try the above
[20:38] <nathalieeeeee> ricardo
[20:38] <edbian> Zenith77, completenewbie That's right
[20:38] <completenewbie> sorry I knew about administrator rights in linux but dindt know about root so sorry about being dumb
[20:39] <edbian> completenewbie, No worries
[20:39] <Zenith77> completenewbie: it's fine. that's what everyone is here for :)
[20:39] <Costanza__> i cant use the menu in namoroka, it freezes so i cant check out profiles /
[20:39] <h00k> nathalieeeeee: Please keep comments on topic.
[20:39] <Guest75069> I'm using a ralink 2570 and using a thing specifically designed for ralink chipsets, and windows can connect just fine
[20:39] <ubutom_> Costanza__, the profile is stored in your home folder
[20:39] <h00k> Costanza__: the PPA version of firefox isn't something supported here
[20:40] <completenewbie> Just type that commant into command line right?
[20:40] <Guest75069> Should I try ndiswrapper?
[20:40] <ubutom_> Costanza__, either under Mozilla or Firefox with a . in front of the folder name, check show hidden files in gui or use ls -al to see it
[20:41] <danutz> hello I have a dns server and I set my domain to go to my nameservers... I want to know how do I do to add other domain (like an addon domain) for other website ?
[20:41] <ubutom_> Costanza__, You should make a backup copy of your profile folder and use an empty profile folder or delete it, so that firefox creates a new profile, though you will have to copy your bookmarks and stuff back
