[18:20] <trism> prariedog: although when you get those questions, it is usually best to look at the diff to see if anything important seems to change
[18:20] <gabless> Snicksie: Ah, the scanner, do you have the driver installed? Could it be a physical connection issue?
[18:20] <mcprtk> upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10, tomy?
[18:21] <jacquesdupontd> hi guys i have a problem with my iphone not booting and i'm searching for irecovery for ubuntu any help ?
[18:21] <Snicksie> gabless, driver is installed as far as I know(did it manual), connection should be all right i assume, because lsusb finds it
[18:21] <tomy> from 8.04 to 9.04 then from 9.04 to 9.10
[18:21] <tomy> all time xorg problem
[18:21] <prariedog> so it seems. tho to be honest, many of the changes don't mean anything i understand just yet
[18:21] <bob_the_hamster> nascentmind: are you talking about how the font size on the console is super-tiny in 9.10?
[18:21] <tomy> something wrong with my intel pentium IV
[18:21] <gabless> Snicksie: Huh, I'm not sure how to help you, sorry!
[18:21] <prariedog> anyways, im gonna log out and go mess around in safemod terminal again, write down the errors and come back
[18:22] <prariedog> thanks guys
[18:22] <mcprtk> in my opinion, try to do a fresh install.....
[18:22] <James_-_> to the group --- I have a new install of Ubuntu Server (SAMBA & OpenSSH added at install) Goal limit ssh access to internal network --- Actions Taken change ssh port.  ssh in confirm it works, add 'ALL: ALL: DENY' to /etc/hosts.deny .  add 'sshd: xx.xx.x.y/yyy' to /etc/hosts.allow ... now when i ssh in from my network i get "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host  ... Thoughts on what i did wrong?
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> tomy: add the driver line and it will force the driver, you can also force resolutions and refresh rates
[18:22] <gabless> jacquesdupontd: Is iRecovery an Apple product? Are you sure there's a linux version?
[18:22] <jacquesdupontd> sure
[18:22] <mcprtk> actionparsnip, isnt there a tool for intel drivers?
[18:22] <nascentmind> bob_the_hamster, no just that in smaller monitors i.e. 17inch etc the console covers the whole screen. on a 21 inch there is spaces at the edges and the text scrolls at the centre.
[18:22] <mcphail> James_-_: why are you editing /etc/hosts.deny etc?
[18:23] <mcprtk> for my ati, there is aticonfig
[18:23] <mcphail> James_-_: you need to edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[18:23] <tomy> actionparsnip i will copy my xorg now and send to my email then when i upgrade to 9.10 i will add this xorg file let me know if its okay
[18:23] <gabless> jacquesdupontd: You might be able to find it in the Software Center, or the website of the developer
[18:23] <James_-_> mcphail as per what i was instructed to do earlier here
[18:23] <James_-_> mcphail what would you have me do
[18:23] <nascentmind> bob_the_hamster, i am using vga=791 btw.
[18:24] <bob_the_hamster> nascentmind: A terminal in x-windows? or a text console outside of X-windows? If you mean the former, then can't you just stretch the terminal window?
[18:25] <nascentmind> bob_the_hamster, a text console outside of x-windows. i.e. the console which you get when the boot messages scroll by.
[18:25] <bob_the_hamster> nascentmind: oh, I think I get what you are saying now.
[18:25] <pkd> bob_the_hamster; using the original xorg.conf or the ati driver xorg.conf works like a off/on switch for the bug (exept i can't restart X with ctrl-alt-backspace in the latter case)
[18:25] <Oli``> I just removed a load of old kernels from synaptic including (accidentally) the one I'm using right now although there is a new one I installed in an update (not rebooted yet). The update has stalled at "Running postrm hook script /usr/sbin/update-grub." If I control+c it tells me it'll induce the end of the world... What do I do?
[18:25] <tomy> actionparsnip http://www.pastebin.ca/1749902 here it is
[18:26] <bob_the_hamster> nascentmind: maybe it is your monitor? Some monitors do that when they don't like the resolution (sure bests my crappy monitor, which goes blank on resolutions it doesn't like)
[18:26] <James_-_> mcphail what would you have me do?
[18:27] <tomy> actionparsnip hold on what a mess

[18:38] <buidangchung_> What used to draw UML diagrams on Linux?
[18:38] <bob_the_hamster> pkd: maybe... but that would be something specific to the proprietary ati driver, about which I have no experience.
[18:39] <James_-_> mcphail and where would I put that... sshd_config or hosts.allow
[18:39] <pkd> (ive already tried turning off screensaver, harddrive spindowns and such
[18:39] <bob_the_hamster> pkd: are you using a VGA cable or a DVI cable?
[18:39] <Myrtti> buidangchung_: some people use Dia
[18:39] <mcphail> James_-_: sshd_config
[18:39] <James_-_> ok will try it brb
[18:39] <pkd> bob_the_hamster: dvi->hdmi
[18:40] <futei> rekomended to have a swap on each sd* when going software raid?
[18:41] <bob_the_hamster> What happens if you use a VGA cable with a DVI adapter? (If you have one) I think that will get all the video bits you need to the screen, but it might leave behind the power managment data (warning, the preceding was probably a crazy idea, I don't know a lot about DVI)
[18:41] <James_-_> mcphail should that IP be 192.168.0.* or <IP_ADDRESS>/50
[18:42] <Out_Cold> bob_the_hamster, if it wasn't for crazy ideas we'd all be using winblows ;)
[18:42] <grawity> ...<IP_ADDRESS>/50 is kinda impossible to have.
[18:42] <mcphail> James_-_: with *
[18:43] <pkd> bob_the_hamster: do elaborate some more on the exact setup you are suggesting - my graphics card has a DVI and a VGA output, tv has hdmi and vga
[18:44] <salukibob> !rules
[18:44] <pkd> ...to complicate things the vga output is connected to a cable that runs to a projector (which is almost never used and as such connected only in one end)
[18:45] <James_-_> mcphail Ok i did that but enter a bad IP to test and see if it would deny me from my local network and it didn't......  Leave your response I have to run over to another office, client here... Will be back ASAP

[18:46] <IpSe_DiXiT> hi, in my /tmp folder there are many folders and files (e.g. orbit-username full of linc-128736 files) what are those files and folders for? where can i find a complete description about all of them? can i delete them? thanks
[18:46] <prariedog> anyone know what security settings have to do with display?
[18:47] <mcphail> James_-_: i assume you restarted the ssh daemon?
[18:47] <blakkheim> IpSe_DiXiT: if you reboot they are all deleted
[18:47] <bob_the_hamster> pkd: so what happens if you connect the card to the TV using only the VGA cable? Does it still have the same problem? Can you still get the full desired HD resolution?
[18:47] <Out_Cold> IpSe_DiXiT, those files are used by apps that need a temp storage place... they should delete on reboot
[18:47] <IpSe_DiXiT> blakkheim: no they're not
[18:47] <blakkheim> IpSe_DiXiT: /tmp is wiped during the bootup process
[18:47] <js__> vnbcdnbcg
[18:48] <blakkheim> IpSe_DiXiT: but then a few new ones are also created as you do things like start X etc
[18:48] <IpSe_DiXiT> Out_Cold: i guessed they were what u said but id like to find out about them specificly
[18:48] <didiermah> bonsoir
[18:48] <Out_Cold> IpSe_DiXiT, then the apps that use them are a good place to look
[18:48] <didiermah> bonjour a tous
[18:48] <blakkheim> !fr | didiermah
[18:48] <didiermah> im sorry
[18:49] <Out_Cold> IpSe_DiXiT, i use /tmp to compile apps as well as what ever other apps need them. It clears out regularly
[18:49] <IpSe_DiXiT> Out_Cold: yeah but this is what im asking, there are things like keyring, keysocket, orbit, seahorse, tracker, virtual all with "-myusername" after... what are they there for?
[18:49] <IpSe_DiXiT> Out_Cold: mine doesn't i have files from 3 days ago
[18:50] <blakkheim> IpSe_DiXiT: read what i said and you'll understand why
[18:50] <IpSe_DiXiT> blakkheim: i did read but i dont think the system creates today files that report the date of 3 days ago :D
[18:51] <IpSe_DiXiT> anyway... is there or there isnt, a support page or whatever, on which is described specificly each one of em?
[18:52] <Out_Cold> IpSe_DiXiT, almost all /tmp files are related directly to the apps that make them... hence start looking at the apps then see what they write to /tmp
[18:52] <blakkheim> IpSe_DiXiT: if you reboot, everything in /tmp is removed. it is a normal part of the sysv init process. new things are created by various applications. to ask for a reason on each one of them is asking about whatever apps you used at the time.
[18:52] <futei> can i make one raid1 put it in LVM and then make another raid1 and just extend my lvm ?
[18:52] <IpSe_DiXiT> Out_Cold: right, how do i do that?
[18:52] <bob_the_hamster> I was about to say my /tmp has files almost a month old in it... and then I remembered that I don't shut down, I hibernate, so that makes sense :)
[18:52] <Out_Cold> IpSe_DiXiT, google <app> /tmp?
[18:53] <bob_the_hamster> IpSe_DiXiT: I have never seen a central reference for temp files, and probably nobody would maintain such a resource since there are so many possible names... but most of the temp file names have the name of the program that created them
[18:54] <IpSe_DiXiT> blakkheim: I already told you if I reboot (which I did many times in the last 3 days) not all of those tmp files get deleted, in fact I have tmp files (after a reboot) reporting their "creation date" to 3 days ago, so i guess they haven't been deleted like ur saying
[18:54] <dev305> Hi
[18:54] <airstrike> how can i search for a string in multiple files in a dir? e.g. say i want to find the word "word" in all my .py files in a specified dir
[18:54] <Out_Cold> IpSe_DiXiT, try copying or touching files into /tmp then restart
[18:54] <knxville> If I forgotten my freenode password, what is the command to retrieve a new?
[18:54] <blakkheim> airstrike: grep word /directory/*py
[18:55] <IpSe_DiXiT> alright nevermind...
[18:55] <mib> hello.
[18:55] <Out_Cold> knxville, i'd ask in #freenode
[18:55] <Spasysheep> how do I type accents in ubuntu? on windows ctrl+alt+(letter) / AltGr+(letter) works, on ubuntu I get: æe→ø↓ for aeiou
[18:56] <airstrike> blakkheim: amazing. thanks. i never used grep like that, i just always pipe stuff to it :P
[18:57] <Out_Cold> airstrike, works well in many situations... piping is just a great filter technique
[18:57] <James_-_> yes
[18:57] <protojay> aæe→ø↓
[18:57] <James_-_> mcphail yes i restarted after every change...  I was rushed let me check my syntax
[18:58] <Snicksie> anybody knows howto fix this problem: 'modprobe scanner' gives error -> 'fatal error: module not found'; should i compile my kernel or so? (ubuntu 9.04)
[18:59] <Out_Cold> Snicksie, i think you need to insmod scanner first
[18:59] <Snicksie> all right, i'll try :)
[18:59] <arvind_khadri> Snicksie, is there an module by the name scanner?
[18:59] <Out_Cold> arvind_khadri, apparently not if that's his output
[18:59] <Blackthorn> My sound and network manager both died at the same time and I have a feeling it's a permissions issue but I don't know where to start to fix that, if I'm even right about it.
[18:59] <Snicksie> arvind_khadri, i suppose not yet; Out_Cold output = insmod: can't read 'scanner': No such file or directory
[19:00] <James_-_> mcphail  ok my bad it does deny permission let me test a few things
[19:00] <Out_Cold> Snicksie, then you don't have that module?
[19:00] <Blackthorn> in console mplayer (soundfile) fails but sudo mplayer (soundfile_ plays
[19:00] <Out_Cold> or it doesn't exist
[19:00] <arvind_khadri> Snicksie, check out whats the module for it, devices when attached while do insmod themselves, you dont need to do them
[19:00] <blakkheim> Blackthorn: is your user in the audio group?
[19:00] <Snicksie> Out_Cold, that's true, but i assume i need it
[19:00] <Snicksie> arvind_khadri, how do you mean?
[19:00] <blakkheim> Blackthorn: and does your user have read permissions to the sound file?
[19:01] <Blackthorn> blakkheim, what's the command to check that?
[19:01] <blakkheim> Blackthorn: groups
[19:01] <arvind_khadri> Snicksie, when you plugin in a device, the driver does the insmod for you... you dont have to manually do it, unless you have compiled the drivers, or some other issue
[19:01] <Blackthorn> groups steelj returns "steelj adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare"
[19:02] <Blackthorn> so looks like no, but It was working last night =o
[19:02] <Snicksie> arvind_khadri, there already is some kinda issue, because my scanner gives an I/O error
[19:02] <blakkheim> Blackthorn: now do ls -l soundfile to see if you have read permissions
[19:02] <Spasysheep> solved it myself - changed keyboard layout to 'United Kingdom Extended - WinKeys'
[19:02] <arvind_khadri> Snicksie, which scanner? did you check for bugs?
[19:02] <pkd> bob_the_hamster: vga cable removes the problem, same resolution possible, but the image quality is sub-par. seen as this seem to be a driver issue -are there other drivers i could try? other possible solutions?
[19:03] <Snicksie> arvind_khadri, i checked; it's an acer/benq 3300u what should work (has worked before)
[19:03] <Blackthorn> -rwxrwxrwx 1 steelj steelj 5684749 2008-06-05 15:07 Puscifer.mp3
[19:03] <blakkheim> Blackthorn: well you have read permissions so i am going to say that it's probably the fact that your user isn't in the audio group
[19:03] <_talon> my bluetooth headset will pair but does not show up in the sound preferences device list, so i cannot select it as input and output device. How can i make it work?
[19:03] <cptblood> is there a problem with resolution when using hdmi connected to an lcd tv in ubuntu 9.04? the menu bar and parts on the sides are not visible, i have to use my tv remote to set to aspect ratio to "scan", but the tv loses this setting after an hour, and i have to set it again, is i some way to force ubuntu to set it properly? (sry for long question info)
[19:03] <arvind_khadri> Snicksie, ok, does the system pick up the device when you plugin
[19:03] <James_-_> mcphail  Thanks for the help it worked great
[19:04] <Snicksie> arvind_khadri, lsusb finds it, sane-find-scanner finds it, sometimes(emphasised) scanimage -L finds too
[19:04] <mcphail> James_-_: the /etc/hosts.allow etc way is ok, but you have to poke holes in it for each of your services
[19:04] <Guest13950> how do I turn services on and off?
[19:04] <James_-_> mcphail  Yea just learned that the hard way
[19:05] <arvind_khadri> Snicksie, ok, so what is the issue now
[19:05] <blakkheim> Guest13950: aptitude install sysv-rc-conf
[19:05] <Guest13950> yeah I think I already did that, but where can I find the service manager?
[19:05] <Blackthorn> How would I get a list of groups?
[19:05] <blakkheim> Guest13950: there isn't one
[19:05] <blakkheim> Blackthorn: /etc/group
[19:06] <Snicksie> arvind_khadri, it gives an I/O error with xsane or scanimage (doesn't matter whitch of the two
[19:06] <James_-_> mcphail  One last question for you a lot of my ssh sessions "time out" for lack of a better term.... they just die if not used for a few min.... in sshd_config how can I extend the time they stay active without activity?
[19:06] <nuker> how resize root drive
[19:06] <blakkheim> James_-_: TCPKeepAlive yes
[19:06] <arvind_khadri> Snicksie, which ubuntu?
[19:06] <James_-_> blakkheim thanks
[19:07] <Out_Cold> nuker, use gparted from a live disk
[19:07] <nuker> it is 8 gb but i to resize it 15gb
[19:07] <nuker> ok
[19:07] <Out_Cold> nuker, you have to resize with the disk unmounted so you need another boot medium like a usb or live cd
[19:07] <mcphail> James_-_: it shouldn't time out on default configuration...
[19:08] <nuker> ok
[19:08] <mcphail> James_-_: you could try changing TCPKeepAlive to No
[19:08] <Blackthorn> how would I add myself to the audio group, I do see that I'm the only user not in it.
[19:08] <blakkheim> Blackthorn: man usermod
[19:09] <llutz> Blackthorn: sudo adduser user group
[19:09] <Blackthorn> already in that...
[19:09] <Blackthorn> thanks
[19:09] <ranjan_> hello every body can any body can tell me is it possible to  define the mount point by simply editing the fs tab .. please reply me
[19:09] <Guest13950> I ran  aptitude install sysv-rc-conf and got denied because i'm not root, so I ran it with sudo in front and not much happened?
[19:09] <James_-_> really ok thats seams odd... I don't even have a TCPKeepAlive option in my default sshd_config  ... unless i over looked it let me check again
[19:09] <arvind_khadri> ranjan, yeah
[19:09] <mcphail> James_-_: it defaults to Yes, so you should add a line to change it
[19:09] <Bodsda> ranjan_: yes, it is
[19:09] <blakkheim> Guest13950: it installed, now run sysv-rc-conf as root
[19:09] <James_-_> o there it is, sorry it
[19:10] <Out_Cold> ranjan, anything in fstab is mounted on boot up
[19:10] <James_-_> so if set to 'yes' then it shouldn't time out.... well I guess i will just start a session and not touch it for 30min
[19:11] <KenBW2> is it possible to disable Compiz but keep all windows on their respective workspaces?
[19:11] <blakkheim> KenBW2: metacity --replace
[19:11] <blakkheim> KenBW2: don't know if they will stay in the same workspaces though :/
[19:11] <mcphail> James_-_: if set to "no", it won't check for timeouts. If set to "yes", it can (theoretically) time out. It is quite counter-intuitive
[19:12] <Mirkaki> Hello! How can I make a list of integers in a script (bash)??? Thanks!
[19:12] <KenBW2> blakkheim: using System > Preferences > Appearance > Visual effects tab makes them all pile into one workspace
[19:12] <James_-_> mcphail o ok well i will change it to 'NO' then start a session and wait
[19:12] <llutz> Mirkaki: seq
[19:12] <condor_> salve a tutti

[19:13] <Bodsda> ranjan_: your welcome
[19:13] <Guest13950> yeah I just don't know what most of them are
[19:13] <condor_> qualcuno mi può aiutare?
[19:13] <blakkheim> Guest13950: then either do a bit of research on them or leave them alone i guess
[19:13] <Guest13950> ok thanks
[19:14] <scott_ino2> diddy, if you get a hot swappable front plane, depending on your case. Has nothing to do with SATA connections on your board
[19:15]  * _Ovidiu is away: Gone away for now
[19:16] <pk_> hey what do we call that thing ......when due to a bug an application keeps on increasing cpu usage and finally 100%?
[19:16] <Zer> Say, shouldn't cp preserve ACLs?
[19:16] <blakkheim> !away > _Ovidiu
[19:16] <Pelo> pk_,  100 % cpu ?
[19:16] <pk_> a word that can define it
[19:16] <diddy> OK, I have plugged it in. Do I have to do anything else in the OS to make it known? I am on ubuntu.
[19:17] <Out_Cold> memory intensive bugs?
[19:17] <scott_ino2> diddy, I don't really understand what you're trying to do.
[19:17] <Pelo> pk when ever I've searched or seen this bug reported it was always with  100% cpu  as key words
[19:18] <Mirkaki> can anyone help me make a script of N integers, given as parametrs???
[19:18] <pk_> actually i emcountered a word a few days ago
[19:18] <Pelo> pk_, is it java that is doing that for you ?
[19:18] <pk_> but i am unable to recall it
[19:18] <Pelo> pk maxed out ?
[19:18] <diddy> scott_ino2, I have a hard disk with very important data which is supposedly bad. I just managed to plug it into a different sata board on the mainboard and now I can read it. I want to make a bakckup quickly but the other internal harddisk (also sata) i had unplugged.
[19:18] <pk_> Pelo leave it
[19:18] <Pelo> Mirkaki, maybe you can ask in #bash
[19:19] <Out_Cold> diddy, how you plan to back up??
[19:19] <diddy> Now I want to plug it back in and back up the data. I am afraid that when I reboot the faulty drive will not be readable again
[19:19] <Mirkaki> Thanks Pelo
[19:19] <diddy> Out_Cold, they are both 500 GB
[19:19] <diddy> Out_Cold, both internal sata drives
[19:19] <llutz> mikael79: for i in `seq 1 10`;do something; done
[19:19] <scott_ino2> diddy, for doing what you describe I suggest using CloneZilla
[19:19] <scott_ino2> it will quickly make a Disk-to-disk copy of the entire hard drive
[19:19] <diddy> scott_ino2, i had always synced them
[19:19] <scott_ino2> using a live cd
[19:20] <diddy> scott_ino2, if I reboot I think again it will not work again
[19:20] <scott_ino2> diddy, i mean you just want to copy the data to another drive right?
[19:20] <diddy> I have plugged in the other internal SATA drive right now while the computer was running
[19:20] <diddy> scott_ino2, yes
[19:20] <diddy> but it is not showing up
[19:20] <diddy> fdisk -l
[19:20] <scott_ino2> what isn't
[19:21] <diddy> scott_ino2, the drive that I just plugged in to back up to
[19:21] <diddy> Is there a command that will make the OS look for harddisks again?
[19:22] <diddy> Like "rescan" the SATA ports?
[19:22] <scott_ino2> i mean if you do fdisk again it should do it
[19:22] <Pelo> diddy, blkid will list the available partitions if that helps
[19:22] <scott_ino2> did you plug it in while the computer was on i mean you gotta do that stuff without the machien on obviously
[19:22] <willemb> Greetings.  I need some help if possible.  After a recent aptitude upgrade on my father's machine, incoming email gif attachments are not being decoded properly with thunderbird.  In stead, there is a bunch of text that looks like it is uuencoded base 64.
[19:23] <Pelo> willemb, was thunderbird part of the upgrade ?
[19:23] <diddy> Pelo, both disks are encrypted with truecrypt
[19:23] <Pelo> diddy, best of luck that's out of my dept
[19:23] <willemb> Pelo:  Unfortunately I would not know, he just clicked on the pop-up that told him there are updates to install.

[19:23] <diddy> OK, I will reboot and see. Damn, I think I missing out on my big chance
[19:24] <Out_Cold> diddy, you want to use fdisk -l and dd to exactly copy from one to the other
[19:24] <willemb> Pelo:  I wasn't even there when he did it, so it might not even be directly caused by the upgrade
[19:24] <protojay> root: you should not run hello as root
[19:24] <protojay> :P
[19:24] <erUSUL> LewisDre4m: probably just "skype"

[19:40] <Out_Cold> what is a rsa randomart image??
[19:40] <maco> Out_Cold: instead of showing a long string of numbers and expecting you to memorize it to tell that its the right server, it shows you an ascii art picture which you then recognize
[19:40] <DuCkNeT> _ariel_ personnaly thats what i would do bu tthats just me
[19:41] <Out_Cold> maco, am i expected to be able to recreate this?
[19:41] <_Ariel_> DuCkNeT: and why would you do that against installing regular Ubuntu?
[19:41] <maco> Out_Cold: no, just to recognize it when it's shown to you
[19:41] <maco> Out_Cold: so if you ssh and get man in the middled and hit a different server, you go "hey! thats not the right picture!"
[19:41] <Out_Cold> i was never good in art class

[19:48] <Out_Cold> tomys, demand a refund
[19:49] <tomys> out_cold : this ubuntu looks very badly supported
[19:49] <tomys> it should be warning if you want to install or upgrade you will get black screen, which rare happesn to windows
[19:49] <Pelo> Carlis, what is your issue ?
[19:49] <Out_Cold> tomys, well aren't you glad you didn't fork out a junk load of money for it... go back to your heavily buggy, viral infected windows and be safe and comfortable from the click of your mouse
[19:50] <maco> tomys: its not normal for that to happen...
[19:50] <tomys> maco its happen to me all time
[19:50] <Pelo> tomys,  you are right,  windows comes with that nice blue screen
[19:50] <eriklewis> how can i format my hard drive using ubuntu?
[19:50] <tomys> pelo its me from yesterday
[19:50] <Carlis> pelo go this link to get info about my issue http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,97695.0.html
[19:50] <eriklewis> i don't have a windows disc handy
[19:50] <Myrtti> Out_Cold: please be patient and behave
[19:50] <Out_Cold> eriklewis, gparted is the GUI version
[19:50] <protojay> tomys, linux is not yet for newbies
[19:50] <tomys> i reinstalled everthing still same problems with this xorg shit thing
[19:50] <Flare183> !language | tomys
[19:50] <protojay> tomys, try reinstalling if you really have no other options
[19:50] <Pelo> Carlis, that's why no one is helping , you , please summerize your issue here
[19:50] <eriklewis> how about the KDE version
[19:51] <Flare183> eriklewis: Just install Ubuntu then
[19:51] <bishop> tomys take the time to learn linux. u will not go back to windows.
[19:51] <eriklewis> it stops at the partition part
[19:51] <eriklewis> says i don't have any
[19:51] <Pelo> tomys, sorry to hear that ,  the intel chipset ? did you try and look it up inthe forum ? so a search for the chipset number,
[19:51] <eriklewis> and wont let me add, i click it and its non-responsive
[19:51] <ActionParsnip> bishop: why not, windows is sometimes a better tool
[19:51] <tomys> bishop how can you learn when you get black screen and you can not log in
[19:51] <Out_Cold> protojay, i disagree... linux is not for people who heavily rely on the basics of windows and compare every instance to a similar instance in windows
[19:51] <benjoldersma> isn't there some project for ubuntu that lets me have a little app in my tray that i can send and receive files with other ubuntu users?
[19:52] <tomys> pelo i can not i am on recovery mode using irssi
[19:52] <Flare183> benjoldersma: Yes, its called alltray
[19:52] <maco> benjoldersma: i have seen something like that
[19:52] <Pelo> tomys,  you need to understand that the ppl here are just users like you , we know some but not all, and put us together our skillset is impressive , but still limited
[19:52] <benjoldersma> Flare183, interseting - i'll take a peek
[19:52] <benjoldersma> thanks!
[19:52] <protojay> true Out_Cold , but alot of these problems are hardware issues which windows has a huge lead in
[19:52] <Flare183> np :)
[19:52] <maco> Flare183: alltray just lets programs sit in the tray. its nothing to do with sending files
[19:52] <Flare183> o.O
[19:52] <Pelo> tomys, what's the shipset again , I'll see if I can find someting
[19:52] <benjoldersma> ahh
[19:52] <Flare183> wait a sec
[19:52] <tomys> pelo: intel
[19:52] <Carlis> pelo why don´t u go to this link. It´s explained
[19:52] <Flare183> maco: Ubuntu One?
[19:52] <tomys> pelo it worked fine with 9.04
[19:52] <Gorlist> are their any blender 2.5 users here suffering from poor performance in 9.10? and segmentation fault errors?
[19:53] <Carlis> http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,97695.0.html
[19:53] <benjoldersma> does ubuntu one do that? or is it more of a cloud sharing thing?
[19:53] <willemb> guys, is there a convenient service for remote desktopping if I can't set port forwarding om my adsl routers?
[19:53] <maco> Flare183: thats not what im thinking of
[19:53] <Pelo> tomys, I need mor specifics ,    flip to another consol and type lspci
[19:53] <Flare183> benjoldersma: Try Ubuntu One
[19:53] <Pelo> tomys, you can always go back to jaunty
[19:53] <tomys> i can not flip i get black screen i can't i will need to quit irsi and do that
[19:53] <benjoldersma> i thought i saw soemthing a while back - a very simple tool, may have used avahi - just for local file sharing
[19:53] <benjoldersma> (LAN)
[19:53] <Flare183> benjoldersma: Samba?
[19:53] <benjoldersma> Flare183, I'll take a look at that :)
[19:53] <Pelo> Carlis, cause while I'M doing that I can't keep an eye on the other ppl I'M helping , just give us a brief  desc of yor problelm please
[19:53] <Out_Cold> protojay, agreed... but we can't pay our developers to slave like little children making our adidas shoes ;)
[19:54] <maco> benjoldersma: giver is the one im thinking of
[19:54] <benjoldersma> I just want something i can drag a file onto a user and have them receive it
[19:54] <benjoldersma> maco, that's it!

[19:54] <jalmeida> i have a htc-t-mobile g1 phone with android, is possible using this device with modem 3g on ubuntu ?
[19:54] <jalmeida> desktop
[19:54] <Carlis> ok
[19:54] <protojay> Out_Cold, even if we could, that would be a non-issue, alot of hardware vendors are very non-compliant and uninterested in supporting anything but windows and perhaps macosx
[19:54] <Flare183> Carlis: Post your problem on the Ubuntu Forums.
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> jalmeida: http://hydtechblog.com/2009/02/12/connect-your-laptop-to-the-internet-using-the-g1-as-a-modem/
[19:55] <Carlis> my problem is in Ubuntu forum
[19:55] <Carlis> I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 and when I shut down the PC and turn it on, the Ubuntu 9.10 can't access to the system.
[19:56] <Out_Cold> protojay, also agreed... but if we had the finance and community to back it up.... it's like trying to size up hawaii to the US.
[19:56] <Pelo> Carlis, how far into the boot process do you get ?
[19:56] <Carlis> It´s going to be a black screen
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> Carlis: try reinstalling grub from the livecd environment
[19:56] <tomyy> pelo which one you need with lpsci: PCI or ISA or IDE
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> Carlis: can you boot to recovery mode console?
[19:56] <Carlis> nothing
[19:56] <Pelo> tomyy, the one that list your video card
[19:57] <tomyy> pci:intel corporation 82801DB/DBM
[19:57] <Carlis> I have a trick to go to the grub
[19:57] <Pelo> tomyy, ok give me a few minute to do a search on this
[19:57] <James_-_> what port does the time and weather app on the Ubuntu Desktop use to update time and weather?  I think my firewall is blocking it but can't sort out the logs
[19:57] <tomyy> pelo thanks i whait
[19:57] <OerHeks> Carlis, sounds like this post > Ubuntu 9.10 fails to load GNU GRUB version 1.97#beta4 > http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1308085
[19:58] <erUSUL> James_-_: probably it uses plain http as client. so no firewall could be at fault
[19:58] <James_-_> ok thanks
[19:58] <llutz> James_-_: ntpd 123
[19:58] <Pelo> tomyy, is this a dell laptop , inspiron ?
[19:58] <_Ariel_> Where do I start if I want to configure Ubuntu to share files on a local network?
[19:59] <tomyy> pelo this is intel pentium IV stationary PC
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> !samba | _Ariel_
[19:59] <Out_Cold> _Ariel_, either nfs or samba
[19:59] <jalmeida> ActionParsnip,  but this tutorial learn to connect in windows using PdaNet ?
[19:59] <Carlis> That´s right OerHeks. I am going to read that post thanks
[19:59] <_Ariel_> big thanks!
[19:59] <tomyy> pelo this is intel pentium IV stationary PC
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> jalmeida: if you read between the lines you can see you need a proxy app running on the phone, then you set the browser to use a socks proxy, it is OS independant
[20:00] <eriklewis> Is there a KDE command to format my hard drive?
[20:00] <Pelo> tomyy,  remind me,  you get no screen or a low rez ?
[20:00] <tomyy> pelo black screen i can not do anything
[20:00] <Out_Cold> eriklewis, are you at a terminal prompt?
[20:00] <eriklewis> yes
[20:00] <jalmeida> ActionParsnip, and to i work with aptget comand ?
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> jalmeida: its OS independant, try not to take things at face value. just because it isnt exactly your setup doesnt mean it still cant apply
[20:01] <_Ariel_> is there a way to install Samba through the graphic interface? not good with command line
[20:01] <Out_Cold> use either parted or fdisk /dev/sd**
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> jalmeida: you'd need to tell apt to use the proxy
[20:01] <Pelo> tomyy,  did I get you to do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg yesterday ?
[20:01] <Out_Cold> _Ariel_, use the synaptic
[20:01] <jalmeida> ActionParsnip, isn't works if not is native connection on ubuntu
[20:01] <bishop> bbak
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> _Ariel_: sudo apt-get install samba     is that so hard?
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> jalmeida: sure but you can translate them so it works in linux can't you
[20:02] <_Ariel_> ActionParsnip: not hard when you know what you're doing :)
[20:02] <tomyy> pelo when i installed ubuntu 8.04 i had similiar problem i was getting not black screen but blankt screen so i find on google to do this sudo apt-get remove compiz compiz-remove and my screen worked, i think it must be something similiar with ubuntu 9.10
[20:02] <_Ariel_> will do that thanks!
[20:02] <eriklewis> out_cold, can i run a command right from the terminal to wipe it?
[20:02] <Out_Cold> _Ariel_, even the best of us still don't fully know what's going on with out testing the waters and playing with commands
[20:02] <Pelo> tomyy, did you try removing compiz on this one ?
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> _Ariel_: its very worthwhile using cli more, it gives so much more power than slow guis#
[20:02] <tomyy> pelo no
[20:03] <Pelo> tomyy, can I recommend you try ?
[20:03] <tomyy> sure brb
[20:03] <Out_Cold> eriklewis, parted is a program that has sub options.. the fdisk /dev/sd** is similar but has issues with large drives
[20:03] <_Ariel_> ActionParsnip: absolutely agreed
[20:03] <francisco> good evening

[20:04] <rblst> hi, did anyone manage here to get huawei e620 working for mobile net?
[20:04] <Pici> wildicv: #ubuntu-offtopic is our offtopic channel, also try /msg alis help list
[20:05] <Out_Cold> wildicv, or try /msg alis list *you_room_name*  with the stars on both ends
[20:05] <_Ariel_> Out_Cold: I def. have to make myself time to play around with the CLI

[20:05] <jalmeida> ?
[20:05] <ibkanat> having problems with my eth0 is there a way to diagnosis wether it is still functional?
[20:06] <Out_Cold> _Ariel_, won't ever get better if you don't. Also some admin books on ubuntu or linux.. or basic shell books make a lot of handy tips
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> jalmeida: sure, just install the app and run it, you can then tell your system to use the proxt
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> *proxy
[20:06] <ibkanat> I tried to upgrade to 10.4 and it may have toasted my ethernet attached to my motherboard

[20:07] <ActionParsnip> !lucid | pm
[20:07] <OerHeks> freeride ffmpeg is great

[20:07] <llutz> ibkanat: 1st step, ethtool
[20:07] <freeride> OerHeks, ActionParsnip thanks a lot! :D
[20:07] <eriklewis> out_cold, can you tell me what command i would run from parted, the help isn't helping me much... i just want to erase everything
[20:07] <ibkanat> llutz ok trying now thanks'

I've asked the wine channel about it and they suggest I come here or install wine from the sources, but I dont feel experienced enough to do that. Help please?

[20:13] <ActionParsnip> ibkanat: ok then  pastebin the text then manually copy the url
[20:13] <ibkanat> is that right?
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> ibkanat: or copy the data to a text file (or the link) then transfer via sd card / usb storage

[20:15] <eriklewis> out_cold, just a single drive, sorry for the delay
[20:16] <ibkanat> would have to type all out here

[20:17] <saml> i want to install whatever is saved on vmplayer
[20:17] <Smashcat> Ah, so from what I understand, there's no way to install Ubuntu Cloud server on a RAID - I must use the "alternative" install CD, then install Eucalyptus etc manually afterwards. Seems strange - a cloud server seems a natural fit for a RAID ;-)

[20:22] <llutz> ibkanat: what does not work?
[20:23]  * Claudiu_ is away: Away for now ..
[20:23] <rblst> can anyone please help me to get huawei e620 modem working?
[20:23] <ibkanat> llutz now what
[20:23] <llutz> ibkanat: what does not work?
[20:23] <Guest13950> what is a symlink?
[20:23] <guntbert> psyphercode: don't write a novel please :-) - just one detailed question will get you more
[20:23] <llutz> ibkanat: does it report link-changes? (pull cable)
[20:23] <psyphercode> why does my entire pc friezze when there is any kind of dicsk acticvity
[20:23] <ibkanat> cant ping router or access internet or receive pings
[20:24] <alabd> any opinion ?
[20:24] <ibkanat> llutz
[20:24] <ibkanat> ok
[20:24] <psyphercode> every pc i have every installed with ubuntu, no matrter the verison no matter to hardware
[20:24] <llutz> ibkanat: whats your routers-ip?
[20:24] <jelly-bean2> we are working on deploying a 40+ machine thin-client network using ubuntu karmic ltsp as the server.
[20:24] <Flea_> actionparsnip, I did it and it didnt help the installation of wine. anymore suggestions?
[20:24] <ibkanat> llutz yes reports no link when cable missing and light is on
[20:24] <jelly-bean2>  what we have noticed is that some monitors don't work perfectly with the display. like xorg or xwindows. basically the fonts look like they are not anti-aliased--kind of a fuzzy caught-inbetween-pixels look. not smooth. like its not using its natural resolution but the resolution is set to 1440x900.
[20:24] <ibkanat> llutz <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:24] <jelly-bean2> also sometimes the top or bottom or one of the sides of the screen will be cut off.
[20:25] <jelly-bean2>  they are down there and yo ucan click on them with your mouse to raise context menus for the panels in gnome etc but you can't see them on the monitor.
[20:25] <jelly-bean2> the monitor has an auto adjust feature but no height or width settings. this is how almost all of the LCDs we have bought are. and we have 3-4 dif brands so i guess that is the new thing
[20:25] <protojay> psyphercode, that sounds highly unlikely
[20:25] <jelly-bean2> and if we switch monitors it works fine so its not the computer being used for thin client
[20:25] <llutz> ibkanat: try manual, open terminal: "sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS>"
[20:25] <Guest13950> what is a symlink?
[20:25] <onetinsoldier> psyphercode: i haven't had to deal with said issue, but perhaps the 'nice' command could help you
[20:25] <jelly-bean2> the monitors work fine on non-ltsp machines (e.g local install of ubuntu or windows vista). so i think it comes down to some default xorg setting in ubuntu ltsp.  any ideas?
[20:25] <llutz> ibkanat: "sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>"
[20:25] <jelly-bean2> im on one of those thin clients using the problematic LCD monitor now. cant see my bottom panel and fonts are smeared
[20:25] <Slart> jelly-bean2:  sometimes X can't detect the supported frequencies of the connected monitor.. I don't really know what the problem is, if it's the hardware that's faulty or the detection routines..
[20:25] <psyphercode> protojay: well i have been using ubuntu since breezy and this issue has been VERY prevelant since feisty
[20:26] <llutz> ibkanat: ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:26] <guntbert> !enter | jelly-bean2:
[20:26] <jolaren> Can someone tip me on a very simple photo editing tool? I want to print a simple text line over a picture..
[20:26] <protojay> psyphercode, why dont i have that issue? im using 9.10 on a relatively modest laptop
[20:26] <Slart> jolaren: not sure if it's simple.. but it's cheap =)   Gimp
[20:26] <psyphercode> onetinsoldier: don't think that will do it
[20:26] <psyphercode> can't sit an nice every single time i have to copy a bunch of files
[20:27] <onetinsoldier> psyphercode: roger. just thought i'd mention it
[20:27] <rblst> did anyone here manage to get huawei e620 working for mobile net?
[20:27] <jelly-bean2> guntbert: i normally do but this was long and freenode truncates what you say if you write sentences that are too lengthy
[20:27] <psyphercode> really depressing, no-ne seems to believe me and i sit with this problem ALL DAY LONG
[20:27] <ibkanat> llutz ok done and destination Host Unreachable
[20:27] <psyphercode> especially annoying on my linux suppooirted dell laptop
[20:27] <protojay> psyphercode, if it happened on only one or two different pieces of hardware, maybe.... but that certainly isnt prevalent with other people
[20:28] <ibkanat> ifconfig worked and the route worked I believe
[20:28] <guntbert> jelly-bean2: your novel seems a bit long anyway - try to rephrase your question please
[20:28] <jelly-bean2> does it only happen on certain brands of monitors? no we've seen it happen on HP and Acer. even on two dif. (but very close) models of HP
[20:28] <llutz> ibkanat: realtek chipset?
[20:28] <onetinsoldier> psyphercode: have you described two different problems or something? i'm talking about your disk activity causing a loss of response to other programs.. not some monitor viewing angle
[20:28] <protojay> psyphercode, it does indeed sound like a hardware issue... maybe a mainboard or cpu problem... or your harddisk is messed up
[20:28] <ibkanat> llutz mp51 nvidia
[20:28] <amgarchIn9> Hi, how do I list all active Compose-key sequences?
[20:28] <psyphercode> onetinsoldier: no
[20:28] <psyphercode> i have only been talking bout disk activity
[20:28] <onetinsoldier> psyphercode: i haven't had to deal with said issue, but perhaps the 'nice' command could help you
[20:29] <llutz> ibkanat: router is ok, i asume?
[20:29] <onetinsoldier> psyphercode: have you ever looked at the 'nice' command? man nice
[20:29] <psyphercode> i know what nice does
[20:29] <onetinsoldier> ok
[20:29] <ibkanat> llutz worked fine for a long time before on 9.10
[20:29] <jelly-bean2> k guntbert: why would my xwindows 1440x900 resolution not fit on my LCD monitor? it's native res. works on ubuntu desktop but not ubuntu ltsp thin client.
[20:29] <psyphercode> like i said can't run nice everyt time i want to run vmware, rar, copying files etc etc
[20:29] <ibkanat> now isnt working after trying a upgrade to 10.4
[20:30] <llutz> ibkanat: /j #ubuntu+1
[20:30] <ibkanat> llutz is working for laptop via wifi and ethernet port
[20:30] <psyphercode> protojay: my hardware is fine, happens on all my pc's
[20:30] <ibkanat> llutz not on 10.4 now
[20:30] <ibkanat> on 9.10
[20:30] <protojay> psyphercode, how many pcs have you tried it on?
[20:30] <psyphercode> dell mini 9
[20:30] <guntbert> jelly-bean2: sorry if I mislead you to assume I really could help - no experience with resolution problems
[20:30] <psyphercode> dell m6300
[20:30] <psyphercode> generic intel hardware
[20:31] <whyz> guntbert, how do i change keyserver?
[20:31] <psyphercode> generic gigabyte hardware
[20:31] <Slart> psyphercode: can't really say I recognize the problem.. perhaps it's not as noticable on multi-core systems or there might be some other reason I don't see it here.. but here I can do file transfers locally or over gigabit network and still work with the system
[20:31] <psyphercode> all my machines, excpet the mini is multicore
[20:31] <ibkanat> llutz would a changed mac address mess it up
[20:31] <akk> Hi -- I'm trying to print text files under karmic, and the font is too wide (like in bug 447961).
[20:32] <akk> Anybody know how to change that? It worked in earlier Ubuntu releases.
[20:32] <mitch_feaster> Has anyone done development for the 8051 microcontroller under ubuntu (or other distro)? The board I'm using is https://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/C8051F020DK.aspx and I don't want to run Windows just to use the cygnal IDE...
[20:32] <akk> Sorry, print text files with /usr/bin/lpr (I should have said that).
[20:32] <llutz> ibkanat: that only would cause an eth0 being eth1 after mac-change /some udev-rules/
[20:32] <llutz> ibkanat: but it still should work
[20:32] <llutz> ibkanat: sorry, no idea
[20:33] <psyphercode> and there is almost no cpu usage at the time
[20:33] <ibkanat> ok I am using cd boot right now so its standard install
[20:33] <ibkanat> llutz can you think of any further diag tools?
[20:33] <Zorael> Are there any basic database management apps in the repos where I can get a visual overview of fields and entries, and practice forming SQL queries?
[20:33] <hasan> hey iam on ubuntu  8.04 can i install vlc 9.03 the newest vlc
[20:34] <Guest7638> hey iam on ubuntu  8.04 can i install vlc 9.03 the newest vlc or i must update my system first
[20:34] <llutz> ibkanat: besides the standard tools ifconfig/route/ethtool, no
[20:34] <ibkanat> llutz or any way to find out if it toasted some how...
[20:34] <hasanubuntu> hey iam on ubuntu  8.04 can i install vlc 9.03 the newest vlc or i must update my system first
[20:34] <protojay> psyphercode, i meant how many pcs have you had this problem on? asin a number...
[20:34] <llutz> ibkanat: it still reports link-changes, kernel-module loads. sounds ok so far
[20:34] <ibkanat> how can I verify route setup right?
[20:34] <psyphercode> 4-6
[20:35] <llutz> ibkanat: sudo route -n
[20:35] <psyphercode> if not more
[20:35] <psyphercode> every install of ubuntu i have ever done
[20:35] <hasanubuntu> hey iam on ubuntu  8.04 can i install vlc 9.03 the newest vlc or i must update my system first
[20:35] <ibkanat> llutz should it be broadcasting <IP_ADDRESS>?
[20:35] <protojay> psyphercode, your consider us to think its likely that 4-6 computers with fresh installations of ubuntu have the exact same problem?
[20:35] <cor_r> hasanubuntu, stop spamming....
[20:35] <psyphercode> yes
[20:36] <llutz> ibkanat: yes
[20:36] <cor_r> hasanubuntu, just download the newest deb...since its based on certain other packets u will have to update anways, but to get the nweset would be from their site
[20:36] <psyphercode> protojay: as far as i am concrned from my extensive experience this is general ubuntu issue
[20:36] <protojay> psyphercode, try googling the problem... "ubuntu slow hard disk activity"
[20:36] <ysmn2> is there a program where it will read text I paste into a text box aloud?
[20:36] <psyphercode> i have done so
[20:36] <psyphercode> wouldn't be here if i didn't
[20:37] <ibkanat> llutz should route destination be <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:37] <hasanubuntu> cor_r still iam on ubuntu 8.04 can i install the newest vlc
[20:37] <ibkanat> and gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:37] <protojay> psyphercode, i may not have your extensive expeirence, but i have first hand experience that your problem should not be a prevalent as you infer it to be
[20:37] <DJones> ysmn2: Have a look into festival, that might do what you need
[20:37] <snowrichard> gateway would likely be <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:37] <llutz> ibkanat: <IP_ADDRESS>         <IP_ADDRESS>     <IP_ADDRESS>         UG    100    0        0 eth0 <- something like this (route -n)
[20:37] <cor_r> hasanubuntu, as I just said, if you download it from their website instead from the the repos, yes
[20:37] <llutz> ibkanat: <IP_ADDRESS> in your case
[20:38] <cor_r> hasanubuntu, or you allow the testing or experimental repos to get it, i would not recommend that though
[20:38] <hasanubuntu> cor_r http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html i have the source so can i just install it
[20:38] <ibkanat> llutz hmm looks right
[20:38] <ysmn2> DJones, will it read all the text onscreen, because i don't want it to do that.
[20:38] <llutz> ibkanat: do you have any other network-device in that box (active)?
[20:38] <cor_r> hasanubuntu, read that : http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
[20:39] <tim_> Hello?
[20:39] <DJones> ysmn2: I'm afraid I don't know about that, it snot something I've used, i'm just aware that it offers a text to speech capeability, I'm sure somebody here might be able to answer questions on usage though
[20:40] <mjas1016> how do I reformat my drive while using karmic koala? I have a windows 7 install disc here and when I try to boot it at startup, the grub loads before the disc does even though my boot priority is CD/DVD first. I figure if I remove Karmic Koala, then it should be fine. Thoughts? Help?
[20:40] <ibkanat> llutz no just running via ubuntu cd right now
[20:40] <ibkanat> llutz and no other hardware eth
[20:41] <Slart> mjas1016: the cd should boot before grub.. grub is part of the hard drive booting procedure..
[20:41] <mph> our normally functioning 6.06.2 server crashed yester and we've found these dirs empty: dev, proc and found these dirs missing(yes gone!) bin, etc, lib, root, boot, home. help!
[20:41] <Slart> mjas1016: removing grub won't change anything in this case
[20:41] <zestyr> hello world
[20:41] <mjas1016> slart: I know, I dont know what the problem is.  I also tried a vista disc as well and that doesnt work. However, if I use my karmic koala live cd, that does boot first.
[20:41] <llutz> mph: dev/proc are empty because they only contain  virtual-fs at runtime
[20:42] <hasanubuntu> cor_r configure: error: Couldn't find DBus >= 1.0.0, install libdbus-dev ?
[20:42] <Slart> mjas1016: don't windows install discs require that you press space during boot for them to run?
[20:42] <andrewk> any key really
[20:42] <Slart> mjas1016: or something like that
[20:43] <cor_r> hasanubuntu, as I said: It probably wont work without update and/or upgrade...try installing dbus though
[20:43] <hasanubuntu> cor_r how i do that
[20:43] <mjas1016> slart: it COULD be a windows specific problem I guess. I am just trying to be 100% sure its not ubuntu before I start pursuing windows.  It just seemed like it was ubuntu because the grub loaded so quickly after the boot from CD attempt.
[20:43] <hasanubuntu> install dbus
[20:43] <Slart> mjas1016: but sure.. you can zero out the mbr on the hard drive using the live cd.. the "dd" command will do that for you
[20:43] <hasanubuntu>  sudo apt-get install libdbus
[20:43] <hasanubuntu>  cannot find package
[20:44] <mjas1016> slart: can you explain how to do that? I am still not linux savvy
[20:44] <agliodbs> I'm trying to boot a Dell Mini off a USB key set up as the latest Netbook distro
[20:44] <ibkanat> llutz thanks for your help.... going to try other things now
[20:44] <x_link> Hi!
[20:44] <agliodbs> but when I try it, I get "operating system not found"
[20:44] <llutz> ibkanat: good luck
[20:44] <ibkanat> :)
[20:44] <x_link> KDE has kcontrol and systemsettings for all the settings.
[20:45] <x_link> When I used KDE I could go to kcontrol -> system services, there I could dactivate programs/services that I didn't want to start at bootr
[20:45] <x_link> boot
[20:45] <x_link> Isn't there anything like kcontrol or systemsettings for Ubuntu?
[20:45] <Slart> mjas1016: if you boot from the live cd and start a terminal you can run "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1"
[20:45] <x_link> Where you have all settings in one place?
[20:45] <cor_r> hasanubuntu, terminal--> sudo -s --> password --> apt-get install libdbus-dev , if u want to install dbus newest
[20:45] <hasanubuntu> no such package
[20:46] <mjas1016> slart: can you explain to me what that will do for me?
[20:46] <ZykoticK9> x_link, there always has been the same thing for Gnome as well, until Karmic...  don't know if plans are in the works to bring that feature back
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> Flea_: can you give the output of: sudo apt-get install wine    use pastebin again
[20:47] <bishop> gottago
[20:47] <nicolaus> hey all
[20:47] <mjas1016> slart: also, do I have to boot from live cd? I am currently running with ubuntu on my drive
[20:47] <Slart> mjas1016: dd just moves bytes around.. if means input file.. in this case we use zeroes from a special device that just gives us an endless amount of zeroes.. of is output file. Setting the output to a device (/dev/sda1 in this case) means we just write directly to the device.. ignoring partitions and such..  bs is block size in bytes, we want to write 512 bytes.. count is how many of those <blocksize> blocks we should write.. one is what we want
[20:47] <x_link> ZykoticK9: Ahh okey
[20:47] <x_link> ZykoticK9: What a shame =/
[20:47] <nicolaus> can anyone see my message
[20:47] <yaaar> hey guys. i just installed a couple of .deb files to get my printer to work. one of them had 'libcupsys2' listed as a dependency instead of 'libcups2' which is really what it wanted (libcupsys2 is now a virtual package). so, i got them to install by using --force-depends and everything works great (that is, i can print now when i couldn't before) ...only problem is any time i try to install...
[20:47] <nicolaus> ?????????????????????
[20:47] <yaaar> ...anything it wants me to remove the two packages because the deps are broken. is there some way i can tell apt that they are ok and it should ignore the problem?
[20:47] <onetinsoldier> x_link: hello. someone made a utility like that. i don't know if it's still maintained or updated. but anyway, it's called 'ubuntu-tweak'
[20:47] <guntbert> nicolaus: we hear you
[20:47] <nicolaus> ok
[20:48] <ShishKabab> Hi. I there any way to burn a bunch of MP3/OGG files to a DVD in a way that a non-MP3-capable DVD player can play them?
[20:48] <Slart> mjas1016: the mbr is the first 512 bytes of the drive.. here's a thread explaining it http://www.debianhelp.org/node/7310
[20:48] <nicolaus> how do i change the login picture
[20:48] <nicolaus> on gnome
[20:48] <Slart> mjas1016: afaik this shouldn't break any of the data on the drive.. but don't do it on anything valuable.. backups are good
[20:48] <erock> How do I erase my hard drive that has no label?  Any help would be much appreciated.
[20:48] <spasticteapot> Can someone check my math? If I want to drop 50V to 43V using a linear regulator at 7A, I'd need a power transistor rated for 50W of dissipation, correct?
[20:48] <genii> ShishKabab: devede
[20:48] <kishore_> hi all
[20:48] <Pici> spasticteapot: Er.. ##electronics or ##math would probably be more appropriate.
[20:48] <nicolaus> how do i change my gnome theme
[20:48] <spasticteapot> Oops.
[20:49] <nicolaus> ?
[20:49] <Slart> mjas1016: you might have to change /dev/sda1 to something else if you're booting of some other drive... but the mbr is usually on the first drive
[20:49] <onetinsoldier> kishore_: hi
[20:49] <kishore_> how to install video drivers in ubuntu
[20:49] <trism> nicolaus: should be System/Preferences/About Me, and click the icon next to your name
[20:49] <nicolaus> ty
[20:49] <Slart> !offtopic | spasticteapot
[20:49] <mjas1016> slart: ok well I have absolutely nothing valueable on this computer anymore. I just want to wipe it clean and start over.  Its just difficult to do that because I am so unfamiliar with ubuntu.  So following your directions will do this for me? (as well as reading a bit of that thread?)
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> !theme | nicolaus
[20:49] <Slart> spasticteapot: ah.. nevermind
[20:49] <joker_> How do I get rid of a LVM drive that's stuck (it says I/O error, before that it was saying it was still open and all)?
[20:49] <cor_r> hasanubuntu, jeez then just do the update and upgrade and install vls via console
[20:49] <usuario> olaa
[20:49] <usuario> olaa
[20:49] <joker_> I tryed to simply delete the /dev/Device/Device but it didnt do it
[20:49] <Slart> mjas1016: that command will clear the Master Boot Record.. not the entire drive
[20:49] <usuario> olaaaa
[20:50] <hasanubuntu> no i have problem i re-installed ubuntu 10 times today when i upgrade i get black screen
[20:50] <hasanubuntu> i will never upgrade
[20:50] <usuario> k talo?
[20:50] <Slart> mjas1016: I don't think it will help when it comes to booting that windows install cd though.. but who knows
[20:50] <kishore_> onetinsoldier : do u know how to install it plzz tell me
[20:50] <nicolaus> how do i change the my theme on gnome
[20:50] <koshari> x_link gnome-control-centre
[20:50] <blakkheim> koshari: isn't it gnome-control-center?
[20:50] <protojay>
[20:51] <Hydrosis> Cany anyone tell me why all HD videos are choppy in Ubuntu but they play fine with the same hardware in Windows?  ALL HD vids are choppy on this machine, but the windows partition plays them flawlessly.  Why doesnt this work and how do I fix it?
[20:51] <x_link> koshari: Okey, I will take a look
[20:51] <koshari> blakkheim yes sorry we spell different here :-)
[20:51] <mjas1016> slart: ah hell. Well, thanks for your help. I guess i can give it a try.  I have tried everything else.  All I really want at this point it to put windows back on this computer and its been such a hassle. Unfortunately I think ubuntu is to blame here =(.
[20:51] <blakkheim> Hydrosis: what video player / what cpu
[20:51] <zestyr> hello world
[20:51] <cor_r> hasanubuntu, u could have just downloaded the newest version,its only 700mb...but well, then just do the update and intall vlc via console, probably wont be the newest though
[20:51] <xavierp94> Thaat happens to mee too
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> Hydrosis: video drivers is my guess
[20:51] <blakkheim> koshari: i know, but the actual package name uses center as far as i know
[20:51] <protojay> Hydrosis, maybe u have crappy video drivers?
[20:51] <xavierp94> The HD videos are choppy
[20:51] <Slart> mjas1016: then go ahead and try that command.. see if that makes it work
[20:51] <zestyr> how load a processus gestion for wnds application with wine ?
[20:51] <Hydrosis> ActionParsnip, how do I make Ubuntu as good as windows in that regard?
[20:51] <Wei> Hydrosis: try use vlc to play those HD videos.
[20:51] <onetinsoldier> kishore_: if you're wanting to install proprietary(manufacturer) drivers for that old integrated onboard intel video card, i think you're out of luck. i don't think you'll be able to get one that's any better or different than the one that already comes with the linux kernel
[20:51] <koshari> blakkheim yes you are correct , i use tab to auto complete and often dont take nitice
[20:51] <Slart> mjas1016: if you want to wipe the entire drive you can do that using the live cd too.. but it takes a couple of hours (depending on hard drive size)
[20:52] <mjas1016> slart: if not, I am sure you will see me back in here in a while. Are you going to be in the room for about an hour?
[20:52] <Slart> mjas1016: yup, I'll be here
[20:52] <Wei> Hydrosis: VLC has better rep than other video players
[20:52] <x_link> koshari: There isn't any program called "gnome-control-centre"?
[20:52] <xavierp94> Hello
[20:52] <blakkheim> Wei: i disagree
[20:52] <x_link> Just looked and it doesn't find anything
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> Hydrosis: install video drivers if you havent, if they are autoinstalled (common for crappy intel chips) then you will need an xorg.conf file to add more config settings
[20:52] <mjas1016> slart: ok, thanks for your help. Hopefully I wont see you again.
[20:52] <koshari> x_link i spelt it wrong, center
[20:52] <Slart> mjas1016: hopefully =)
[20:52] <blakkheim> Wei: vlc only uses one cpu core and has trouble with softsubs
[20:52] <x_link> koshari: Ahh found now
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> blakkheim: is it compilable to use more cores ?
[20:53] <x_link> koshari: But it seems like it's already installed, cause it didn't install anything
[20:53] <nicolaus> after i download the themes how do i install it
[20:53] <blakkheim> ActionParsnip: no, mplayer can though :)
[20:53] <koshari> x_link it is installed, just run it
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> blakkheim: mplayer is the daddy
[20:53] <gilgamesh_> nicolaus: what theme ?
[20:53] <Wei> blakkhaim, oh I don't know that.
[20:53] <koshari> x_link its part of gnome
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> !changetheme | nicolaus
[20:53] <kombucha> Not able to install openssh-server in Lucid, also tried just openssh .... does anyone know what the deal is with that?
[20:53] <Hydrosis> Ubuntu is becvoming a joke to me.  So many problems that I never had with windows.  No sound via speakers from mic, cocputer goes to sleep and doesnt wake up (set to NOT sleep), no sound in games (especially when FireFox is open) etc.  Why was this version of Ubuntu even released when it has so many problems compraed to the competition?
[20:54] <o_be_one> hi
[20:54] <Slart> !lucid | kombucha
[20:54] <blakkheim> kombucha: this is not a lucid support channel
[20:54] <ShishKabab> genii: That doesn't seem to work since it can only handle video files as far as I can see (correct me if I'm wrong)
[20:54] <kombucha> oops sorry
[20:54] <blakkheim> Hydrosis: cool story bro
[20:54] <Hydrosis> blakkheim, word
[20:54] <Hydrosis> tl:dr
[20:54] <protojay> Hydrosis, because ubuntu sucks and windows rules muahaa
[20:54] <Slart> Hydrosis: my guess is they push the limit a bit with this release.. so the next one (which is an LTS) can be better
[20:54] <koshari> Hydrosis historically the release before a LTS has many bugs to give a good abount of time to solve before the LTS comes out
[20:55] <DaZ> y, ubuntu sucks.
[20:55] <Joker_-_> How do I get rid of a LVM drive that's stuck (it says I/O error, before that it was saying it was still open and all)? (It's empty so i don't mind what happens to the datas on it).
[20:55] <onetinsoldier> lucid will be an LTS?
[20:55] <coz_> Hydrosis,  are you using the current version karmic?  if so you might want to use the previous version if that worked better and wait for ubuntu lucid to be released
[20:55] <Slart> onetinsoldier: I think so
[20:55] <Hydrosis> Ive never been so dissapointed with a computrer in my life, and I had Win ME for years.
[20:55] <onetinsoldier> roger
[20:55] <Slart> !lts
[20:55] <koshari> onetinsoldier *tick*
[20:55] <champi_> hola
[20:55] <cor_r> Hydrosis, ubuntu IS the windows undre all linuxes so what did you expect? but ur listed problems are not really problems with ubuntu, these are problems of the user sitting in front of the pc
[20:55] <geo_> how do I set it to have sound always muted on startup? There was a place in older versions of ubuntu that now seems to be missing in karmic
[20:56] <gilgamesh_> cor_r: true true :D
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> Hydrosis: look at the funding of windows comapred to linux
[20:56] <x_link> koshari: I really don't find gnome-control-center in my menus
[20:56] <Slart> cor_r: telling someone they are broken because they have problems with ubuntu isn't really productive.. you can do better than that
[20:56] <Hydrosis> cor_r, Im not an idiot.  I know when it's the computer as opposed to the user.  I never had these problems with any other operating system, Ubuntu included.  Please, if you dont know what you're talking about keep your smartass remarks to yourself.
[20:56] <koshari> x_link its not in the menus, run it from cli or create a launcher
[20:57] <Slart> !coc
[20:57] <nicolaus> i downloaded the theme packages off a website how do i install the full package
[20:57] <Slart> !etiquette
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> blakkheim: i have no issues with the mulicore thing with vlc as i only have single core cpus ;)
[20:57] <guntbert> Hydrosis:  this is no place for venting your anger
[20:57] <onetinsoldier> x_link: hello
[20:57] <CShadowRun> Hydrosis: sound is bad because ubuntu switched to pulseaudio. It's beta, it's bad. But it once it's all fixed up, it'll be a better sound system for everyone
[20:57] <protojay> Hydrosis, calm don
[20:58] <jijutm> what if i skip the fsck check on a server box, will it affect the server performance
[20:58] <Hydrosis> guntbert, I came asking for help and idiots tell me its MY fault that Ubuntu isnt working properly.  Pay attention, man.
[20:58] <Hydrosis> protojay, telling people to calm down does nothing to calm them.
[20:58] <MaJ> CShadowRun, i like how everyone openly admits that pulseaudio is a crap chute.......and yet it is still installed by default
[20:58] <guntbert> !attitude | Hydrosis
[20:58] <Slart> jijutm: not if the disc is healthy =)
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> Hydrosis: well it kinda is, just like if your sound doesnt work in windows you have to give it drivers
[20:58] <CShadowRun> Maj it's installed by default because it's the only way it'll get better. We want features like individual application volume control, networked sound servers, etc. We have to suffer with it being buggy for a while to make people adopt it
[20:59] <cor_r> Hydrosis, im using lin since 10 years starting from debian to gentoo, if you want to start a flame ware, then open up a channel and talk to urself
[20:59] <onetinsoldier> x_link: hello.. you here?
[20:59] <agliodbs> when I enter a WPA key into the ubuntu wireless manager, does it need to be in hex format?
[20:59] <CShadowRun> Maj i don't like it either, but that's just how it is
[20:59] <Wei> question, can anyone recommend a good fax software?
[20:59] <Hydrosis> ActionParsnip, I am not a complete idiot.  I know how to install drivers etc.  I know this.  That's not the problem.    Leave me alone.
[20:59] <Pici> cor_r: Please stop.
[20:59] <MaJ> CShadowRun, yeah....its just little issues like audio that keep me using windows
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> Hydrosis: log bugs and it will be attended, there may be existing bugs whch you may find help on
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> MaJ: works flawlessly here, but i'm not one of those fools who buy cretive sound cards
[21:00] <Hydrosis> ActionParsnip, Ive been digging through launchpad all week.  not much help to be found Im afraid.
[21:00] <cor_r> I see guys, and you do?
[21:00] <CShadowRun> Maj well it's getting better every release, if ubuntu doesn't work for you now, try the next release. Things are often greatly improved each release :D
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> Hydrosis: log bugs then, its how stuff gets resolved
[21:00] <koshari> Hydrosis i dont know specifically a software setting to mute sound on startup but i have in the past acheived the same result blacklisting the sound module, and running modprobe when i want it back
[21:00] <geo_> Haraken, hey
[21:00] <MaJ> i'll agree with that.....it is getting better
[21:00] <Pici> May I remind everyone that this is a support channel not a rant/complaint channel.
[21:00] <Haraken> hey
[21:00] <Slart> Hydrosis: just take a deep breath and walk away.. the ops will deal with people being moronic
[21:00] <MaJ> i havent even tested it with my new creativ card yet.....that is going to be a real treat :P
[21:01] <Dinglefairy> Hi - I created a username called git
[21:01] <Dinglefairy> How do I remove this from the login screen (USplash)?
[21:01] <x_link> onetinsoldier: Yes?
[21:01] <geo_> is there a way to mute sound on startup in karmic?
[21:01] <Hydrosis> Hi Slart pay attention and stfu please.  Dont center me out for fun, kiddo.
[21:01] <TheMozart> Hydrosis: lol
[21:01] <geo_> The usual methods appear to be missing
[21:01] <x_link> koshari: How do I create a launcher for gnome-control-center in GNOME?
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> MaJ: i use onboard realtek stuff and it works out of the box, even in livec
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> *livecd
[21:01] <x_link> koshari: Sorry, I'm really new with GNOME.
[21:01] <maco> ActionParsnip: stuff based on the HDA spec is often problematic since the spec's so broad
[21:02] <trism> Dinglefairy: users with uid's less than 1000 will not be listed in the gdm user list, ones with uids higher than 1000 will
[21:02] <protojay> lol how do you like it now Hydrosis ?
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> maco: nvidia onboard pos soundcard
[21:02] <MaJ> i usually use onboard......but my onboard died :P
[21:02] <trism> Dinglefairy: so if you want the git user not to show, make it's uid less than 1000
[21:02] <MaJ> pulse works for me......just never in games
[21:02] <Dinglefairy> trism: so what uid should git be?
[21:03] <UserSite> hey folks. just installed ubuntu 910. i need some assistance. I have a wireless linksys gpci card installed on the computer. is there a way i can get it to work?
[21:03] <MaJ> i should probably just stop complaining......not helping anything :P
[21:03] <charlesg3> I'm having trouble with my sound. I'm using ubuntu karmic on a macbookpro (nvidia sound) and pulse audio. I see the internal audio listed in pavu control, and everything thinks it's playing, however no sound comes out of the headphone jack
[21:03] <yaaar> hey guys. is there a way to get apt to ignore a particular conflict it's finding with a package? every time i try to install anything it wants to remove these two packages i installed from .deb files, because it thinks their dependencies aren't met. the .deb was basically expecting the package to be named the wrong thing, so i had to install with --force-depends ...the packages (printer...
[21:03] <yaaar> ...drivers) work, but apt keeps trying to remove them and i can't install anything else or run upgrades now
[21:03] <TheMozart> UserSite: yes its easy.. just click on the wireless icon in toolbar
[21:03] <UserSite> i tried searching online for drivers but there arent any for linux. i might be missing a step
[21:03] <gilgamesh_> geo: delete desktop login file :D
[21:03] <done365> Hydrosis voices valid concerns, some of the "quirks" with Karmic can be rather overwhelming
[21:03] <UserSite> really thats it? wow that must be easy lol
[21:04] <TheMozart> UserSite: yes, thats it.. easy as ABC
[21:04] <TheMozart> UserSite: did you try it?
[21:04] <protojay> done365, hydrosis is just a troll
[21:04] <Slart> done365: indeed..  karmic has a lot of flaws.. sound is one there are plenty of others
[21:04] <Datawire> I'd like to enable file sharing between this latop using Ubuntu and my work computer running Windows XP, how would I go about doing that?
[21:04] <UserSite> TheMozart thanks a lot. still new to this but if i can get this down, something more to add to my resume. thanks again
[21:04] <Pici> protojay: Please stay on topic, this is a support channel.
[21:04] <trism> Dinglefairy: any value less than 1000 that isn't already taken (so 999, 998, etc should be safe)
[21:04] <Slart> done365: but this isn't the channel for that discussion..
[21:04] <avm3> can someone answer a most likely, amateur question about the new Ubuntu?
[21:04] <blakkheim> Datawire: you could try NFS
[21:04] <Slart> avm3: just ask
[21:05] <UserSite> well i will need to shut down this pc and boot up into it, unless theres a way i can VM into it.
[21:05] <avm3> well i installed 9.10
[21:05] <TheMozart> UserSite: dont give up,, keep learning.
[21:05] <Datawire> NFS?
[21:05] <iceroot> avm3: ask your question in one line
[21:05] <genii> ShishKabab: Apologies on lag, work required me. I've made audio-only dvd from OGG(which can also carry video) using it... mp3 haven't tried
[21:05] <TheMozart> Pici:  all this time I seen you, i didnt know you were an OP :P
[21:05] <protojay> sorry pici
[21:05] <avm3> i was told that if i'm running more than one linux distro, i only need one swap as long as there is a boot partition specified in both distros install
[21:05] <charlesg3> is there an easy way for me to drop back to a sound server known to work? I don't need mixing or per user controls or anything... just for sound to come out
[21:05] <avm3> but when i install ubuntu after fedora, it makes two new swap volumes
[21:05] <avm3> and the boot loader recognizes windows but won't see fedora
[21:05] <TheMozart> UserSite: whats your host?
[21:06] <avm3> even though each os is on its own partition
[21:06] <done365> Slart: video is another, and it can be frustrating getting help on this channel, seems easier to get ostracized than help, I'm just saying
[21:06] <avm3> so i don't know how to prevent this
[21:06] <iceroot> !enter | avm3
[21:06] <avm3> oh ok, sorry
[21:06] <Gnea> avm3: don't let it automate the partitioning, do it advanced/manually
[21:06] <avm3> wawnt me to restate it?
[21:06] <max> can someone help me get to a openbox chat? I am new to everything
[21:06] <Slart> done365: it's a user to user support channel.. sometimes asking questions in a nice way will get you better answers..
[21:06] <UserSite> TheMozart ... just what the default install was. just started the tutorial from the boox i just got

[21:08] <DaZ> uhm
[21:08] <DaZ> wtf was that? >:
[21:08] <yaaar> done365: i've noticed that the quality of answers deteriorates when the problem description is 'ubuntu is broken!' and the person asking for help is unwilling to admit that he could have possibly done anything wrong,
[21:09] <jMyles> Does anybody know how to enable mod_alias in apache in ubuntu?
[21:09] <iceroot> yaaar: the key for quality answers is a detailed question in one line without repeating
[21:09] <yaaar> iceroot: precisely
[21:09] <Slart> jMyles: this might be helpful http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=332586
[21:10] <iceroot> jMyles: sudo a2enmod mod_alias
[21:10] <kombucha> Is it necessary to do an "upgrade" before a 'dist-upgrade' ?
[21:10] <iceroot> kombucha: no
[21:10] <jMyles> iceroot: mod_alias does not exist
[21:11] <Slart> DaZ: there was an announcement from freenode about it (the tunneling http thingy)
[21:11] <Joker_-_> How do I get rid of a LVM drive that's stuck (it says I/O error, before that it was saying it was still open and all)?
[21:11] <iceroot> jMyles: is it in the repos (apt-cach search)?
[21:11] <x_link> Would somebody like to tell me how to make a launcher for gnome-control-center?
[21:11] <Slart> iceroot, jMyles: I read something about it the other day.. they've moved it or moved the functionality into some other module.. can't really remember
[21:12] <Slart> x_link: a launcher to put on the desktop or in a menu?
[21:12] <ShishKabab> genii: Ok, thanks! Will try it with OGG.
[21:13] <timotheus> My GNOME power management DPMS has stopped working on my laptop after a recent package update. Any ideas why?
[21:13] <timotheus> At least, I assume it was a package update...
[21:14] <DaZ> Slart: it was after that :3
[21:17] <x_link> Slart: I would appreciate both =9
[21:17] <Slart> x_link: it doesn't work if you just put "gnome-control-center" as the command?
[21:17] <outer_space> is there a shortcut to open nautilus like windows has windows-e for explorer?
[21:18] <x_link> Slart: Where should I put the command?
[21:18] <x_link> Slart: Which row?
[21:18] <Slart> x_link: if you right click on the desktop.. and choose Create Launcher.. you'll get a window with some text fields.. one fiels is marked "Command"
[21:19] <x_link> Slart: Okey, I will write "gnome-control-center" there
[21:19] <charlesg3> I'm having trouble with my sound. I'm using ubuntu karmic on a macbookpro (nvidia sound) and pulse audio. I see the internal audio listed in pavu control, and everything thinks it's playing, however no sound comes out of the headphone jack
[21:19] <blakkheim> charlesg3: i don't think you have "nvidia sound"
[21:20] <Slart> charlesg3: it plays through the speakers?
[21:20] <x_link> Slart: Ahh it worked =)
[21:20] <x_link> Slart: Thanks alot!
[21:20] <Slart> x_link: you're welcome
[21:20] <charlesg3> Slart, I hear no sound (speakers or headphone), sorry for confusion
[21:20] <charlesg3> blakkheim, from lscpi... 00:08.0 Audio device: nVidia Corporation MCP79 High Definition Audio (rev b1)
[21:21] <Slart> charlesg3: try running "alsamixer" in a terminal
[21:21] <x_link> Slart: Can I put it under System -> Preferences as well?
[21:22] <charlesg3> both Master and PCM are at 100%, neither are muted
[21:22] <Slart> x_link: if you click on system, preferences, Main Menu   you can edit some of the menus.. not sure if you can put custom stuff in the preferences menu though.. but give it a try
[21:22] <Slart> charlesg3: are those the only volume sliders you see?
[21:22] <charlesg3> Slart, yep
[21:23] <lobrau> is there a way to use the unzip command to unzip a list of files?
[21:23] <x_link> Slart: Ahh, I could just drag the desktop-icon to "Main Menu" =)
[21:23] <Slart> charlesg3: hmm.. not a lot to play with then...
[21:23] <Slart> x_link: that might work..
[21:23] <x_link> Slart: Thanks again man, I really appreciate your help lot!
[21:23] <x_link> Slart: It worked =)
[21:24] <Slart> x_link: you're welcome again =)
[21:24] <charlesg3> Is there an easy way to try a different sound server?
[21:24] <x_link> Slart: hehe, now its time to go to bed =/
[21:24] <x_link> Take care everybody!
[21:24] <x_link> Good night!
[21:24] <Slart> charlesg3: not really sure about that.. I've never had any problems with pulseaudio.. so I've never really looked around for alternatives
[21:24] <ghabit> Hello. I want to buy macbook pro 13 unibody for linux using. It promises about 6 hours with Mac OS, any installs on it? I want to know how long it will work with linux. Thank you.
[21:25] <_Tristan> when I copy large files on my HD they copy at around 4mb/s. I have good hardware. Is this normal?
[21:26] <x_link> Slart: Hehe just one last thing
[21:26] <x_link> Slart: If I open a terminal, then Firefox and then a terminal again. This two terminal-windows doesn't get next to eatchother.
[21:27] <x_link> Slart: It gets like "terminal -> Firefox -> terminal"
[21:27] <DaZ> _Tristan: it's really slow.
[21:27] <Um_cara_qualquer> does anybody knows how i send an e-mail without telling the person my e-mail?
[21:27] <blakkheim> Um_cara_qualquer: lol
[21:27] <x_link> Slart: Can I change that so all terminal-windows will get next to eatch other, all Firefox-windows nextto eatch other etc etc?
[21:27] <_Tristan> DaZ: I thought so. Anything I can do to make it faster/diagnose the problem?
[21:27] <maco> Um_cara_qualquer: i know in KMail you can enter a different From: and Reply-To: address
[21:28] <DaZ> Um_cara_qualquer: create new email or learn how to send anonymous emails [;
[21:28] <Slart> x_link: hmm.. there might be a way using devilspie or perhaps compiz.. but windows normally just go over each other.. there are some tiling window managers that keep everything visible.. next to each other
[21:28] <Slart> x_link: or you meant in the task bar?
[21:28] <Um_cara_qualquer> hmmm
[21:28] <Um_cara_qualquer> and how can i send anonymously?
[21:29] <x_link> Slart: I mean in the taskbar

[21:29] <max1234> ?
[21:29] <mbeierl> anyone know how to troubleshoot a karmic kernel that suddenly refuses to suspend-to-ram?  The output in /var/log/messages is less than helpful
[21:29] <Um_cara_qualquer> huh?
[21:29] <DaZ> _Tristan: you can set noatime,nodiratime when mounting but it won't fix the main issue imo
[21:29] <x_link> Slart: Sorry for not being clear enough, my english isn't that good 0)

[21:30] <Myrtti> !es | koshari
[21:30] <aztek[tum]> no max1234
[21:30] <blakkheim> max1234: no
[21:30] <DaZ> which i don't know how to diagnose [;
[21:30] <Hydrosis> Um_cara_qualquer, can I ask WHY you need to send anonymous emails?  I wont help you if its for spam, and tha's the ONLY reason I can think of.
[21:30] <max1234> ha ok good deal, It wasnt letting me talk a minute ago
[21:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> because i want send viruses to everybody
[21:30] <DaZ> Hydrosis: for lulz
[21:30] <Um_cara_qualquer> :)
[21:30] <Slart> x_link: no worries.. I think there is a setting somewhere to make all the terminal windows go into the same "button".. hang on.. let me check
[21:30] <maco> Um_cara_qualquer: well that's not terribly nice
[21:30] <Hydrosis> mbeierl, is it not suspending or is it not waking up?  Mine will NOT wake up after installing Karmic.  I have to hard reset.
[21:31] <max1234> how do I respond directly to someone? Do I have to type their name every time?
[21:31] <hiexpo_> hello all
[21:31] <blakkheim> max1234: use tab to autocomplete
[21:31] <x_link> Slart: Not the same button
[21:31] <blakkheim> !tab > max1234
[21:31] <tpdd> is it possible to get at true transparent terminal without compiz?
[21:31] <maco> max1234: if you want them to be highlighted, yes. but you can type the first letter or two then hit tab
[21:31] <mbeierl> Hydrosis: is suddenly decided not to suspend.  It suspended/resumed fine this morning, now it's not
[21:31] <_Ariel_> Q: Just installed and configured Samba but it is not appearing on Windows Explorer. I restarted but still no luck. Any clues?
[21:31] <blakkheim> tpdd: xcompmgr
[21:31] <MohammadDD> how can i convert wmv to 3gp /
[21:31] <koshari> max1234 depends on the client
[21:31] <didiermah> !french
[21:31] <x_link> Slart: Just to be next to eatchother in the taskbar
[21:31] <Hydrosis> max1234, type the first part of their name and then hit TAB.  It should finish their name for you
[21:31] <mbeierl> Hydrosis: it gets in this state every now and then and I have to reboot to make it work again
[21:31] <Um_cara_qualquer> isn't it
[21:31] <_Ariel_> !samba
[21:32] <max1234> blakkheim, ha okay, I got it
[21:32] <x_link> So if I have 2 Firefox-windows opened and 2 terminals and 1 gedit, then it should look like this in the taskbar
[21:32] <Slart> x_link: if you right click on the small "handle" on the left side of the task bar you can set the preferences to group windows together.. that will make them use the same button.. I don't know of a way to just move them next to each other
[21:32] <Hydrosis> mbeierl, I cant help you man.  Sorry.
[21:32] <x_link> Firefox - Firefox -> terminal -> terminal - gedit
[21:32] <lobrau> I have a text file with a list of absolute pathnames i need unzipped, and I have the unzip program and I need to unzip all the files in said list
[21:32] <x_link> For example
[21:32] <piero> Hi! I have a wireless card on my Desktop, but I always set gnome's net bar applet to not use the wireless interface, but when I restart the session it's forgets and try to connect to the lans again. What can I do?
[21:32] <Joker_-_> How do I get rid of a LVM drive that's stuck (it says I/O error, before that it was saying it was still open and all)?
[21:32] <mbeierl> np.  going down for reboot now...
[21:32] <Slart> x_link: yes, I understand.. but no.. I don't know how to do that.. I'm not even sure it's possible
[21:32] <blakkheim> lobrau: uzip `cat listfilename` ? :/
[21:32] <maco> lobrau: for i in $(cat list) ; do unzip $i ; done
[21:33] <max1234> blakkheim, you are gonna be my main man, you are always answering my questions
[21:33]  * FergusonTG clears his throat
[21:33] <lobrau> thank you
[21:33] <lobrau> no i have to figure out how to do that in msdos lol
[21:33] <tpdd> Thanks!  blakkheim
[21:33] <x_link> Slart: I don't want it in the same button
[21:33] <blakkheim> max1234: i'm afraid i'm going to have to decline that offer
[21:33] <x_link> Slart: Eatch button but the icons should be next to eatch other. I could do like that in KDE
[21:33] <max1234> blakkheim, haha okay I understand, but do you think you could direct me to an openbox chat?
[21:34] <blakkheim> max1234: #openbox maybe
[21:34] <_Ariel_> i cant see the pc with ubuntu in my network, what can i check first?
[21:34] <Slart> x_link: oh.. I didn't know you could do that in KDE.. I still don't think you can do it in Gnome though

[21:38] <The_Toxic_Mite> Hello, I have a Belkin F6D4050 USB wireless dongle. I believe it uses the RT2870 drivers, but I can't use NDISwrapper because I run Windows 7 on my box. I have also tried compiling my own drivers, to no avail.
[21:39] <psvasti-> i try to burn a .cue/.bin file combo but it says it can't find the damn .bin file in the same goddamn directory.
[21:39] <Myrtti> sorry for the break in the normal programming due to spammers. Please see the global notice by Christel for explanation. Thank you!
[21:39] <psvasti-> pardon my blasphemy
[21:40] <Slart> psvasti-: linux is case sensitive.. sometimes the creators of the cue file work on some other OS which isn't case sensitive.. so.. look at the cue file.. make sure the path and name of the bin file in there is correct
[21:40] <Slart> psvasti-: "look at" as in "open in text editor"
[21:42] <weatherkid> I have an nVidia nForce 4 series Motherboard with AC'97 sound (I don't know if it is high def or not) and it is playing sound. I am running 9.10. Any ideas?
[21:42] <psvasti-> the directory is correct
[21:42] <Slart> weatherkid: you mean it's NOT playing sound? =)
[21:42] <Slart> psvasti-: and the filename is also correct? no CAPS or other weirdness?
[21:42] <weatherkid> Slart, typo, oops
[21:42] <weatherkid> lol
[21:43] <psvasti-> nope
[21:43] <weatherkid> That's going in QDB for sure
[21:43] <psvasti-> unless instead of just *.bin it's supposed to be something like ~/directory/*.bin
[21:43] <Slart> weatherkid: well.. some people want a quiet computer =)  have you tried running "alsamixer" in a terminal? see if all the sliders are up?
[21:43] <The_Toxic_Mite> Hello, I have a Belkin F6D4050 USB wireless dongle. I believe it uses the RT2870 drivers, but I can't use NDISwrapper because I run Windows 7 on my box. I have also tried compiling my own drivers, to no avail. Can anyone help me please? (repost due to flooding of enter/exit notices)
[21:43] <Slart> psvasti-: can you copy the contents of the cue file to a pastebin?
[21:44] <Slart> !paste | psvasti-

[21:45] <One``> I have a dual head card and want to know if it's possible to set up two displays using xrandr with only a single card.. because xrandr isn't showing my second display.

[21:47] <JustMozzy> hi guys. how can I upgrade my compiz on hardy?
[21:47] <Slart> weatherkid: ok.. if you start playing some sound.. play a movie or music or whatever.. then run this in a terminal "pavucontrol"

[21:47] <psvasti-> Slart, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m5c7a4987
[21:47] <Slart> Berzerker-: I didn't find gtk-config in the ubuntu repos.. what are you trying to compile?
[21:47] <Berzerker-> Slart, vpython
[21:48] <weatherkid> Slart, ok
[21:50] <agSilver> anyone know how to mount a samba server? all my attempts fail
[21:50] <militant> evenin folks.  for a long time i've simply dumped youtube urls into vlc in windows... but this doesn't work in linux.  says there's no suitable demux.  is this just a codec issue and if so what might i need?
[21:51] <Slart> Berzerker-: you're error is mentioned on this page.. no solution though http://vpython.org/linux_download.html
[21:51] <Berzerker-> Slart, yeah...
[21:51] <The_Toxic_Mite> Hello
[21:51] <The_Toxic_Mite> I can't get my Belkin F6D4050 to work on Ubuntu
[21:52] <The_Toxic_Mite> The usbid is 050d:935a, and I think it uses the RT2870 chipset
[21:52] <The_Toxic_Mite> but I can't get it to work
[21:52] <The_Toxic_Mite> Tried compiling the drivers, no. NDISwrapper, no
[21:53] <Slart> psvasti-: I don't really see anything wrong with it... can you pastebin the output of "ls -l" from the directory in question as well?
[21:53] <Ashfire908> Hi, I want to play what is currently coming in the line in on my computer out my speakers, how would I do that?
[21:53] <weatherkid> Slart, ok, mic is working but i have no output
[21:54] <Slart> weatherkid: ah.. sorry.. didn't see you there.. you get a window with a box for the app playing sound?
[21:54] <agSilver> i'm trying to run this "sudo mount -t smbfs //mars/websites /mnt/websites" but it gives an error
[21:54] <weatherkid> Slart, yup
[21:55] <Slart> weatherkid: but still no sound playing.. there should be a tab called "Configuration" .. try changing the hardware profiles listed there for your card
[21:56] <buttons840> is it normal for packages to be kept back?   i have not specified any to be kept back myself.
[21:57] <weatherkid> Slart, none work
[21:58] <Slart> weatherkid: hmm..then I'm kind of out of ideas.. not really sure what else to check
[22:00] <Out_Cold> so i've been trying to set up ssh port forwarding to access my server over the net. I have keys made, ssh works inside my network, the port is forwarded (as far as i can tell), dyndns is accurately resolving my IP but no port 22 :( any suggestions?
[22:01] <psvasti-> Slart, i don't know how to copy from terminal so could you tell me what particular information you want from the ls -l?
[22:01] <Out_Cold> psvasti-, copy the text you want and right click ;)
[22:01] <coreyB> hello iv'e been having some problems with pulseuadio, is there anyway to remove it, and switch to alsa?
[22:01] <Out_Cold> coreyB, pulseaudio is a part of alsa..
[22:02] <_Tristan> ah, good old sound problems.
[22:02] <Out_Cold> ... let me rephrase... pulse uses alsa
[22:02] <coreyB> Out_Cold, yh, but i wanna remove pulseaudio it makes paco mad >:
[22:02] <Out_Cold> coreyB, it may break other apps but you can sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio
[22:03] <Out_Cold> anyone have any suggestions for the ssh issue?
[22:03] <_ArielX_> I cant find my Ubuntu PC in my local network, what can I do?
[22:03] <_ArielX_> Windows network
[22:05] <Slart> psvasti-: the name of the bin file
[22:05] <Slart> if you're using the gnome-terminal you can just click-drag then right click, select copy

[22:11] <Slart> MohammadRRR: not really.. sorry.. I don't know of any easy to use applications to convert from vmw to 3gp
[22:12] <koshari> _ArielX_ windows is a strange beast, it may have something to do with the wins server database being slow to updat id the ip add works

[22:14] <_ArielX_> !samba
[22:14] <Slart> max1: what kind of questions do you want to ask?
[22:14] <melfy> there a way to set a file's creation time from command line?
[22:14] <xangua> ........
[22:14] <morphix> max1, well what are your questions?
[22:15] <max1> slart: I need someone to guide me through setting up pypanel
[22:15] <Slart> max1: on ubuntu?
[22:15] <max1> lubuntu, but I want to run it in openbox
[22:15] <morphix> heh ahve luck with pypanel on ubuntu
[22:15] <morphix> i used to use it
[22:16] <morphix> but since the newer versions of ubuntu
[22:16] <nadilson> como posso usar o samba
[22:16] <morphix> it hasnt worked
[22:16] <Joker_-_> How do I get rid of a LVM drive that's stuck (it says I/O error, before that it was saying it was still open and all)?
[22:17] <max1> I got the lxpanel working on openbox, so I guess I really don't need it but I already downloaded the package and just wanted to see what it looked like
[22:17] <_ArielX_> !samba
[22:17] <morphix> pypanel is nice, its a bummber its such a pain to get working now :(
[22:17] <_ArielX_> !samba
[22:17] <morphix> bummer*
[22:17] <morphix> and it cant be related to newer python versions or something
[22:18] <MaNetho> hi there, I know this is not directly the right placew to ask my question, but it's the best quess I have on people who might know the answer...
[22:18] <morphix> its something has changed in ubuntu
[22:18] <Anticreeps> Hello, i got a question, i just installed unbuntu. worked fine, then it said needed to do some updates.. so i did them then it reboot comp, now when i try to boot up it brings me to this black screen where i can just type commands something like grub how i fix this?
[22:18] <morphix> as it works fine in arch linux (i use openbox on that too)
[22:18] <futei> do i do mkfs on md0 or on /dev/fileserver/media ?
[22:18] <hiexpo_>  i just do not understand why people leave windows and than want to put there windows programs on linux it makes absolutely no sense at all  //// if that is the case why not stay with windows if you are gonna use there programs anyways
[22:18] <Slart> Anticreeps: what kind of graphics card?
[22:18] <Anticreeps> onboard
[22:18] <MaNetho> is it possible to have a server running, which is running as the DHCP server, to wake up when a computer is turned on an asking to get an IP ?
[22:19] <MaNetho> I'm thinking of the 'wake-on-lan'
[22:19] <Slart> hiexpo_: perhaps people like the windows applications but not the windows operating system
[22:19] <morphix> hiexpo_, well some people require _some_ windows programs to be run, but majority of the programs they use could be linux
[22:19] <Out_Cold> MaNetho, WOL is bios specific though
[22:19] <morphix> eg. i needed IE6 for my work
[22:19] <Slart> Anticreeps: do you get any kind of error message when you boot up?
[22:19] <morphix> but didnt want to switch back to windows.
[22:19] <storo1975> is the mozart still around?
[22:20] <hiexpo_> yes i have found a replacement for everyone i have ever had and find them to usely be better
