[16:57] <nemo> patrunjel: maybe /usr/include/SDL is not in your search path
[16:57] <solya> KM0201: all 'initscripts' run on reboot, but when it killed all process, just stops and nothing happens
[16:57] <bezao> damn, i did ctrl+c during 'do-release-upgrade' it was asking me for keep or change my apache settings, how can i do know?  how can i continue the process?
[16:57] <patrunjel> nemo, sorry, i forgot to tell, it has something to do with the thing that i installed Ubuntu using wubi? :)
[16:58] <Jed2> lol yes, I'm ashamed to say I dont know...and I'm a an ROV pilot tech too :(
[16:58] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: not really... atheros/intel, typically just "work"... broadcom/ralink just require installing firmware/restricted drivers... not that hard once you figure it out.
[16:58] <nemo> patrunjel: oh. or else you didn't install the package that provides SDL video :)
[16:58] <nemo> lemme check
[16:58] <Felix00> bastidrazor, i got cpufrequtils. Got cpufreq enabled in userspace gobernor, minumum is full speed, but i dont see any option to set the throttle.
[16:58] <KM0201> solya: i have no idea on taht one
[16:58] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: ?
[16:58] <nemo> patrunjel: I'm updating apt-file now
[16:58] <nemo> (to see what package provides it)
[16:58] <solya> KM0201: on initscripts I mean the shutdown runlevel or something like that. I use an other lnx, just trin' to help sy
[16:58] <r00t4rd3d> KM0201, i had to fight with my broadcom.
[16:59] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: i 8 lunch
[16:59] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: sorry..
[16:59] <nemo> $ apt-file search SDL_video.h
[16:59] <nemo> libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h
[16:59] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: which broadcom?.. most of them.. use either the new STA driver, or the b43 driver/firmware.. both of which are in the repositories and take about 10sec to install
[16:59] <nemo> patrunjel: no luck for you. seems to be part of the standard dev package - you installed that right? :)
[16:59] <r00t4rd3d> KM0201, had to patch my kernel , install fakeroot , slap my mother
[16:59] <nemo> patrunjel: sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
[16:59] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: its ok>> what did you say to do?
[16:59] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: what?... which broadcom
[16:59] <bezao> damn, i did ctrl+c during 'do-release-upgrade' it was asking me for keep or change my apache settings, how can i do know?  how can i continue the process?
[16:59] <Jed2> OK next question chaps....is there a need for anti virus with ubuntu?
[16:59] <nemo> patrunjel: that's covered in that tutorial I linked too, I think
[16:59] <bonjoyee> sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
[16:59] <nemo> Jed2: no
[17:00] <Jed2> nemo: cheers
[17:00] <nemo> Jed2: unless you want to virus scan your windows dual boot - install clamav and maybe a clamav frontend for that
[17:00] <bastidrazor> Felix00: change the governor..   cpufreq-info will tell you what speeds are available
[17:00] <KM0201> Jed2: only if you're planning to share w/ windows... that way you can scan it, and don't unknowingly pass on a virus to a windows user
[17:00] <nemo> Jed2: scanning outside a running operating system can often offer better results for hiding viruses :)
[17:00] <nemo> KM0201: oh. that's a good one too
[17:00] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: also give me the output of , uname -m
[17:00] <bogustrumper> Does anybody in here have any experience with lirc and serial ir blasters?  I had mine working, then moved to 10.04 and now I'm having some trouble...
[17:00] <solya> anybody using maveric on Asus laptop?
[17:00] <nemo> KM0201: reminds me of when I was trying to unpack some small windows util. ran it in wine.  it had a virus. poor virus was very confused and did not work at all
[17:00] <Jed2> I want to move over completely to ubuntu after a trial period so I dont think I will need AV then
[17:01] <mitnick> hello =)
[17:01] <patrunjel> nemo, when i was trying to run the thing in the tutorial on the console, i got some sort or warning...now i realised i had synaptic opened...dumb :)
[17:01] <nemo> KM0201: it tried to write some stuff to drive_c without much success :)
[17:01] <KM0201> Jed2: very unlikely
[17:01] <nemo> patrunjel: yeah. lock on installer
[17:01] <KM0201> nemo: i've tried to install known viruses in Wine... it never works right..lol
[17:01] <KM0201> i've taken to XP in Vbox to test viruses
[17:01] <KM0201> lol
[17:01] <nemo> KM0201: they try to do too low-level of stuff...
[17:01] <bezao> i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it?
[17:01] <nemo> KM0201: oh. yeah. that works well. with an image set to reset on shutdown
[17:02] <patrunjel> nemo, libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h this is the output for the libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h command
[17:02] <Felix00> bastidrazor, do you know what throttling is? nothing to do with frequency stepping. At 79º, freq still being 3.2 Ghz (full speed), but throttling state makes CPU 'sleep' 25% of the time 'till temp falls to 77º, then throtttle disables
[17:02] <r00t4rd3d> KM0201 , BCM4321
[17:02] <Jed2> Many thanks one and all for you help. I will now get off and start exploring Ubuntu. Cheers
[17:02] <rigved> Jed2: it's more for the security of other windows users :)
[17:02] <nemo> patrunjel: ummm
[17:02] <Jed2> rigved: thanks
[17:02] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: i get command not found for the .run
[17:02] <nemo> patrunjel: I said to install libsdl1.2-dev - I was just pasting the results of apt-file for you, so you'd see how it worked
[17:02] <KM0201> nemo: i don't even do that.. i just back up the "clean" image to an external source, and when i tire of the virus, i delete the virtual drive, and load the clean one
[17:02] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: what version of Ubuntu? that really should not have been such an issue
[17:02] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: uname -a
[17:02] <nemo> KM0201: ah. guess that works
[17:03] <nemo> KM0201: but read only images are handy for testing in general
[17:03] <bezao> HELP i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it?
[17:03] <KM0201> !broadcom | r00t4rd3d it's quite simple nowdays...
[17:03] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: uname -m gives me i686
[17:03] <nemo> KM0201: and you can clone 'em for a more permanent one
[17:03] <bastidrazor> Felix00: i gues i did not know what throttling was. :\
[17:03] <KM0201> nemo: yup.
[17:03] <bonjoyee> sudo ./media/cdrom0/VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run
[17:03] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: try that..
[17:03] <Felix00> thanks anyway bastidrazor
[17:03] <C_Okie> hi
[17:03] <bezao> HELP i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it?
[17:04] <Felix00> hi. is there any way to completely DISABLE cpu throttling? I got a P4 prescott, 69º on idle. I noticed when temp is 79º, cpu throttles to 75% (T2). Will modprobe -r p4_clockmod disable throttling or just disable linux from noticing it?
[17:04] <bastidrazor> Felix00: best of luck.
[17:04] <solya> Can sy help with an ACPI problem?????
[17:04] <nemo> wow. 79!
[17:04] <Felix00> do you know what throttling is? nothing to do with frequency stepping. At 79º, freq still being 3.2 Ghz (full speed), but throttling state makes CPU 'sleep' 25% of the time 'till temp falls to 77º, then throtttle disables
[17:04] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: uname -a gets Linux bt <IP_ADDRESS> #1 SMP Sun Nov 14 06:32:36 EST 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[17:04] <nemo> Felix00: erm....
[17:04] <nemo> Felix00: throttling doesn't necessarily involve a sleep
[17:04] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: pwd
[17:04] <nemo> Felix00: can also reduce the overall clock rate
[17:04] <nemo> Felix00: and 79 is very high
[17:05] <Felix00> i know nemo .
[17:05] <nemo> you risk system being forcibly shut down if it gets much hotter
[17:05] <Felix00> prescotts works 30º hotter than northwood. 69º is normal temp as intel says.
[17:05] <solya> Can sy help with an ACPI problem?
[17:05] <patrunjel> nemo, 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 11 not upgraded. This is the output after i run sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev
[17:06] <bezao-> i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it?
[17:06] <nemo> patrunjel: ok. so you do have it then :)
[17:06] <C_Okie> does backing up internal drives contents on an external and also backing up data/os booting from that external onto the same external have any merit ? Could you assume the flash drive will less likely fail than a hdr
[17:06] <nemo> patrunjel: ls -l /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h
[17:06] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: whats output of "pwd"
[17:06] <patrunjel> nemo, libsdl1.2-dev:: command not found here is the output after i run the libsdl1.2-dev: /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h
[17:06] <nemo> ???
[17:06] <bezao-> i was running 'do-release-upgrade' when i acidentaly typed ctrl+c, it has stoped the upgrade! what can i do to re-run it?
[17:07] <nemo> patrunjel: that was just output from apt-file dude
[17:07] <michal_> siema
[17:07] <nordle> Has anyone noticed a change in syntax for Mencoder in 10.10 recently?  ie bitrate for x264 appears to have gone nuts.
[17:07] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee:/media/cdrom0
[17:07] <nemo> patrunjel: as I said before.  anyway. please run  ls -l /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h
[17:07] <patrunjel> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 38018 2010-06-09 05:39 /usr/include/SDL/SDL_video.h

[17:07] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: ok.. then do "sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run"
[17:07] <nemo> patrunjel: ok. you have dependancies. I think problem is your include path then
[17:07] <nemo> patrunjel: please talk to #sdl or #c or some other development channel
[17:08] <Makdaam> hi, did anyone set up trac-mercurial on ubuntu?
[17:08] <nemo> patrunjel: your problems are in what to specify to do a build
[17:08] <nirazio> For Photoshop there is Genuine Fractals plugin to increase image resolution with very little loss in visual quality. Is there an analogue for GIMP?
[17:08] <solya> Can sy help with ACPI problem?
[17:08] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: finally! something happened!
[17:09] <bonjoyee> what?
[17:09] <Felix00> nemo, and never passes 79º on full load. throttling does not *change* the freq in mhz. you can prove by monitoring cpu freq and launching cpuburn. Instead, PC load, diminishes, as it still work to the same frequ but its 25% of the time sleeping. So *implicitily* does not change the freq, but the freq in that moment isnt full loadable.
[17:09] <patrunjel> nemo, thanks a lot.  http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/YouDaManJesus.jpg
[17:09] <Felix00> so i want just to disable throttling
[17:09] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: finally! it installed! bye 4 a few min... i have to restart
[17:10] <bonjoyee> bezao-: was it downloading when u cancelled?
[17:10] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: how DO i restart?
[17:10] <Felix00> it must be easy, i just want to create an event that when Tx > T0 goto T0
[17:10] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: sudo reboot (i assume the guest)
[17:10] <brontoeee> nordle, try #x264
[17:11] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: do  i need to sudo anything? im logged in as root.
[17:11] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: reboot
[17:11] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: so no sudo for anything?
[17:11] <PeterFabinski> at all?
[17:11] <nemo> Felix00: I've looked up where to setup the temperature limits manually in proc
[17:11] <nemo> Felix00: but that's hardly a convenient or nice way to do it
[17:12] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: are u asking about guest os..if yes then if are root already..then just type reboot or else sudo reboot
[17:12] <nordle> brontoeee: cheers, will do.
[17:12] <nemo> Felix00: (looked up in the past when trying to prevent damage) sooo, gonna sit back and see if someone has a good way to do it in here. maybe do some googling of my own.
[17:12] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: ok
[17:12] <nemo> Felix00: but 79 is still very high.
[17:12] <nemo> Felix00: mine is running at 37
[17:13] <Felix00> i know nemo , OEM pc, bad heatsink
[17:13] <bonjoyee> bezao-: u there?
[17:13] <bezao-> bonjoyee no, it was installing
[17:13] <Felix00> but till are ok for prescott, just google it
[17:13] <Felix00> but till 80º are ok for prescott, just google it
[17:13] <nemo> maybe not for long periods of time though
[17:14] <nemo> seems that sort of thing could eventually degrade
[17:14] <nemo> buuut ok. fine
[17:14] <Felix00> i let cpuburn, glxgears and screensaver all night
[17:14] <bezao-> bonjoyee i did an apt-get update, it showed my and error, and told me to tpe dpkg --configure -a, and it got back where it was installing
[17:14] <nemo> 80°C seems to risk materials breaking down over time
[17:14] <Felix00> nothing happened, temp = 79,77,79,77,...
[17:14] <Felix00> because the throttling
[17:14] <bezao-> bonjoyee i guess everything is okay now
[17:14] <bonjoyee> bezao-: thats right...
[17:14] <nemo> Felix00: the throttling you apparently want to override ;)
[17:15] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: how do i auto-start network
[17:15] <Felix00> nemo, its safe to do that. if 90º is reached, system reboots safely. chip burns at 130º+
[17:16] <Felix00> at least 120
[17:16] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: as in?
[17:16] <Felix00> just want to see if without throttle i can get full cicles at hight temps
[17:16] <nemo> Felix00: I suspect being very hot for extended periods of time could acculumate damage. you might want to verify that
[17:16] <Felix00> and maintain below 90º
[17:16] <nemo> like. can you run at 80 for days at a time
[17:17] <nemo> Felix00: "full cicles" ? what?
[17:17] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: start the BackTrack network service when the computer starts
[17:17] <nemo> Felix00: but. yeah. you're running at twice my temperature and want more. nutty
[17:17] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: does it have network-manager?
[17:17] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: ?
[17:18] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: what linux are you using
[17:18] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: debian..father of ubuntu and hence backtrack!!
[17:19] <sam-_-> bonjoyee: mother of ubuntu. a father was not involved ;-)
[17:19] <petarbt> how to recovery my partition http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/2081/screenshot2mp.png
[17:20] <Felix00> re-hi
[17:20] <bonjoyee>  sam-_-:is it? how do ya know;)
[17:20] <Felix00> sorry nemo my cat pulled the power cable -_-
[17:20] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee:  when i start the computer i always have to go into the Services menu and start "network", can i do that automatically?
[17:20] <sam-_-> bonjoyee, if there was a father it would have to be mark :-)
[17:20] <smt-mobil> Hi guys, i just attachted a touchscreen device to my computer, wich works fine aber calibrating, but when i store results to udev rules they are ignored by the next reboot, anyone´s got an idea  how to get them persistent?
[17:20] <bonjoyee>  sam-_-:lol
[17:21] <smt-mobil> aber=after
[17:21] <sam-_-> PeterFabinski, what services menu?
[17:21] <PeterFabinski> sam-_-: i have backtrack
[17:22] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: do you have System>Administration>Services menu?
[17:23] <Felix00> nemo, i already know the intel presscots handle big temps. I saw a comparisson between northwood and presscott: they monitor stability while turning off the fan in both cpus to see throttling and shutdown. Both processors act the same way, with the only difference that prescott works 35º hotter, and crit temp is higher.
[17:23] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: no
[17:23] <sam-_-> PeterFabinski, this is an ubuntu channel ask in #backtrack-linux
[17:24] <PeterFabinski> sam-_-: i was wondering if thre was a channel for that! thx
[17:24] <bonjoyee>  PeterFabinski: did u get the shared folder?
[17:24] <none_13> hi all... where store chromium bookmaks???
[17:24] <Gamer1990> hi
[17:24] <jimfleig> From the Ubuntu Software Center qcad was selected and installed.  All went well.  I can find and launch the program from its /usr/bin location.  Why isn't there a selection in the Applications menu or one of its submenus?  Can this be created?
[17:24] <Gamer1990> can someone help me?
[17:24] <nemo> Felix00: I'm not sure of your sources but there's a big difference between running hot for 10 minutes and running hot for hours
[17:24] <Felix00> lets reask in other way: How to make cpufreq, cpufreq-utils, or acpid to FIX permanently Tx value to T0?
[17:24] <KM0201> none_13: not sure where they are stored, but you can import/xport them same as Firefox and any other browser
[17:24] <nemo> Felix00: poking around online I see plenty of people who consider higher than 65 not good on a prescott
[17:24] <KM0201> Gamer1990: just state your question, if someone can help, theyw ill
[17:25] <Gamer1990> how do i get my video card to stop flickering?
[17:25] <nemo> Felix00: soo. yeah. clearly you feel you know what you're doing, I'll just drop it.  g/l, hope you get what you want and don't kill your system
[17:25] <PeterFabinski> bonjoyee: the guest additions are installed. i havent looked for the folder yet. its not on the desktop
[17:25] <rigved> jimfleig: right click on the applications menu, click on edit menus. add the application that you want
[17:25] <Felix00> nemo, 12hrs at full load 79º last night, i repeat. i got this pc since 3 years and always was hotty. i repeat, dont worry about that
[17:25] <KM0201> Gamer1990: is it ATI?
[17:25] <Gamer1990> yes
[17:25] <Gamer1990> it is an ATI Radeon X1600 PRO 512 AGP
[17:25] <nemo> Felix00: is all fine until it dies ;)  but ok. dropping it
[17:25] <Felix00> ok
[17:26] <KM0201> Gamer1990: it depends really, do you have desktop effects enabled?..
[17:26] <Gamer1990> no
[17:26] <rigved> PeterFabinski: you need to mount the shared folder manually
[17:26] <Gamer1990> i just installed it a few minutes ago
[17:26] <PeterFabinski> rigved:ok
[17:26] <Felix00> so, someone ould tell me if what i want to do is an acpid event or something?
[17:26] <KM0201> Gamer1990: did you install the driver for ATI?
[17:26] <bonjoyee> PeterFabinski: it wont be on the desktop..u have mount it using   sudo mount -t vboxsf  sharename mountpoint
[17:26] <Felix00> could*
[17:26] <Gamer1990> no.
[17:26] <Gamer1990> where do i get it?
[17:26] <KM0201> !ati | Gamer1990
[17:27] <gambit_2> this ububuntu has been a god send windows can take a back seat for now on
[17:27] <mattl> hey, i'm using 10.04 -- is it safe to install backports from lenny? the package i'm using-- movabletype-opensource -- needs to be updated for security reasons, but i can't find an adequate version in ubuntu backports.
[17:28] <Gamer1990> ok where do i get this driver?
[17:28] <KM0201> Gamer1990: that link describes everything for you.
[17:28] <xangua> mattl: no, it's not
[17:28] <KM0201> mattgyver: that would be a very bad idea
[17:28] <Gamer1990> ok
[17:28] <mattl> xangua: gah. okay. thanks :)
[17:28] <KM0201> mattl: check.. see above
[17:28] <Gamer1990> i'm running 10.10
[17:29] <mattl> KM0201: what am i checking, sorry?
[17:29] <KM0201> i said it was a bad idea.. check is a way of saying "correction"
[17:29] <KM0201> i responded to the wrong matt
[17:29] <Gamer1990> my card is a legacy device
[17:29] <monty_hall> anybody running courier mail?  I'm getting s_connect errors.  I recally many moons ago there was some type of permissions problem w/ the default install.
[17:29] <monty_hall>  all I had to do was change it and everything worked.
[17:30] <KM0201> Gamer1990: do you see anything in system/admin/hardware drivers
[17:30] <Gamer1990> no
[17:30] <Gamer1990> it is empty
[17:30] <KM0201> Gamer1990: then you're goign to have to follow the instructions at the link i gave you
[17:31] <Gamer1990> what exactly do i have to do to fix it?
[17:32] <Gamer1990> as in what do i have to read in order to fix the problem
[17:32] <KM0201> Gamer1990: READ THE PAGE AND THE LINKS THAT ARE THERE REGARDING ATI.. nobody is gonna hand hold you through it
[17:32] <stevecoh1> what is the best or easiest way to upgrade a system from Ubuntu 8.04 to the 10.4 or 10.10 (and which should I target)?
[17:32] <Gamer1990> i just turned desktop effects off
[17:32] <KM0201> Gamer1990: well, just a second ago, you said you weren't running them...
[17:33] <xangua> stevecoh1: run the update manager¿
[17:33] <Gamer1990> i didn't know i was running them
[17:33] <KM0201> Gamer1990: then rather than say "No, its not".. say "I don't know, how do i check"
[17:33] <stevecoh1> I didn't think that updated across versions.
[17:33] <Gamer1990> my card is an ATI RV530
[17:33] <bonjoyee> stevecoh1: from 8.04 u can only go to 10.04..after that u may go to 10.10
[17:34] <stevecoh1> bonjoyee:
[17:34] <stevecoh1> bonjoyee: so I do that with a ubuntu 10.04 CDROM?
[17:35] <bonjoyee> !upgrade |  stevecoh1
[17:35] <KM0201> stevecoh1: i think you can do it online... but it takes  a while, and if something goes fubar.. well.. just be happy you already have a 10.04 cd ready. :)
[17:35]  * KM0201 has never had luck upgrading...
[17:36] <hmark> lo
[17:36] <KM0201> stevecoh1: it should go w/o saying, to  make sure everything is backed up, in case somethng goes wrong and you need to reinstall..
[17:36] <durando> hey guys i want to run xbmc off my notebook to my hdtv (hdmi out on the notebook)and have the notebook screen to do work with my desktop environment
[17:36] <durando> is this possible and if so how
[17:37] <bonjoyee> stevecoh1: if u dont mind reinstalling..do a clean install..that will give a much more stable system and also advantages like ext4
[17:38] <tawfiq> hi
[17:39] <PeterFabinski> how do i auto-start network
[17:40] <wilhart> btw, should i remove pulseaudio ?
[17:40] <Jemt> PeterFabinski: What do you mean ? How you make Ubuntu auto connect to a network ?
[17:41] <PeterFabinski> jemt:yes
[17:42] <Jemt> PeterFabinski: http://www.google.dk/#hl=en&source=hp&biw=1481&bih=924&q=ubuntu+wifi+auto+connect&aq=0&aqi=g1&aql=&oq=Ubuntu+wifi+auto+con&gs_rfai=&fp=86fe4ebeec17f161
[17:42] <matilla> who's gonna upgrade to gnome-unity???
[17:43] <Jed2> well I can't connect again :(
[17:44] <PeterFabinski> i have to go into network manager and click "connect"every time i start the computer... i have a wired connection
[17:44] <maxo> hey guys, I'm having big problems today. Files I've been saving on a NTFS partition in Ubuntu have now gone missing. I managed to recover some using chkdsk, but not all, and I've found other people have the same problem, and certain workarounds. But it's worrying me - I can't afford to lose data. How do Ubuntu users dual-booting have a Documents folder that can be accessed both in Ubuntu and Windows?
[17:44] <chkdsk> What?
[17:44] <Gamer1990> it doesn't tell me where to get the driver
[17:44] <chkdsk> Oh, you just said "chkdsk", whoops
[17:44] <Gamer1990> i must be missing something.
[17:45] <Jed2> how can I stop all these Connect and left messages on screen?
[17:45] <jimfleig> From the Ubuntu Software Center qcad was selected and installed.  All went well.  I can find and launch the program from its /usr/bin location.  Why isn't there a selection in the Applications menu or one of its submenus?  Can this be created?
[17:45] <exodus_ms> maxo, are you asking how to access files on a windows partition while your logged into ubuntu?
[17:45] <xangua> depends of what client you use Jed2
[17:46] <Jed2> Opera
[17:46] <Gamer1990> help!

[17:46] <maxo> exodus_ms: I can access my ntfs partition, but it seems this can be quite risky - a couple of times I've lost files. So I'm wondering if there's a better way?

[17:46] <Enigmati1Coder> How do I get KDE screensavers in Ubuntu?
[17:46] <r00t4rd3d> grrr
[17:47] <KM0201> Enigmati1Coder: i think there's a kde-screensaver pack in the repositories
[17:47] <KM0201> Enigmati1Coder: if not, kde-look.org probably has some
[17:47] <Gamer1990> can someone please help me with my card?
[17:48] <icio> Has anybody had any luck getting the GDM working on a VIA chipset? 10.10, compiling the driver according to the user wiki didn't do the trick.
[17:48] <icio> (Appears to be a driver issue)
[17:48] <Enigmati1Coder> KM0201: Ty I think I got it (checking right now)
[17:48] <dany> hi all
[17:48] <dany> does anyonw know a channel about rrdtool?
[17:48] <PeterFabinski> how do i auto start network
[17:49] <jimfleig> I am trying to cd from jimfleig@ubuntu:~$ to the file system/usr/bin to try to launch qcad.  How do I get to the file system directory in terminal?
[17:49] <exodus_ms> maxo, im not sure. which partition did you lose the files on, the windoze or linux partition?
[17:49] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, didn't they tell you in backtrack-linux?
[17:49] <xangua> edit your netwrk configuracion ans set to autoconect¿¿ PeterFabinski
[17:49] <Makdaam> did anyone set up Trac on Ubuntu? with Apache?
[17:50] <maxo> exodus_ms, the windoze ntfs partition
[17:50] <icio> jimfleig: cd /usr/bin ?
[17:50] <Gamer1990> hello?
[17:50] <sam-_-_> jimfleig, /usr/bin is in your PATH just execute qcad
[17:50] <sacarlson> jimfleig: can't you just try qcad in the terminal to start it?
[17:50] <PeterFabinski> sam-_-: no
[17:50] <Gamer1990> i'm installing fglrx
[17:51] <PeterFabinski> xangua: how
[17:51] <Gamer1990> KM0201 , help.
[17:51] <xangua> clic on the network icon PeterFabinski
[17:51] <exodus_ms> maxo, ok. i dont know. ive shared files like that before, but in the end I just used an external hdd that i could mount on either os im logged into
[17:51] <maxo> exodus_ms, it's happened a few times before. I think if I hibernate windows, then boot up linux, it can corrupt the ntfs windows partition. But ntfs-3g is supposed to stop ntfs partitions being mounted if windows has set a hibernate flag
[17:51] <jimfleig> icio and sam-_-_   Thank you!
[17:51] <PeterFabinski> xangua: where is it
[17:52] <xangua> ...
[17:52] <maxo> exodus_ms, but I'm not even sure I had hibernated windows this time. And it just seems really risky, I don't want to lose files :-(
[17:52] <xangua> on your notification area PeterFabinski ...
[17:52] <jimfleig> sacarlson  qcad from jimfleig@ubuntu:~$ starts it also
[17:52] <jdioutkast> my ubuntu machine randomly restarts and i cant figure out why can some1 help me out?
[17:52] <LinuxGuy2009> I have an ASUS M3N78-Pro mobo with an NVIDIA 8300 onboard video with HDMI connector. I installed the proprietary driver from the nvidia website, and video on my HDTV works just fine. My issue is that I get no audio over the HDMI cable even though I have HDMI audio enabled in the BIOS, and also have HDMI audio out selected in Ubuntu sound preferences. Am I missing something?
[17:52] <Gamer1990> why am i being ignored?
[17:52] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, press alt + f2 and type nm-applet
[17:52] <jimfleig> Can a selection in the Applications menu be created?
[17:53] <maxo> I think the other problem is ntfs is such a terrible filesystem. But then the only other filesystem windows can read is FAT - and although I think that's better for recovering files, it only stores file sizes up to 4GB and is pretty bad too. So I basically seem to be stuck
[17:53] <sacarlson> jimfleig: it might also already be in Applications>grafics>qcad
[17:54] <PeterFabinski> sam-_-_: it says it cant run the specified command
[17:54] <sam-_-_> !patience | Gamer1990
[17:54] <jimfleig> sacarlson  it isn't there  I've checked all the Applications submenus.
[17:55] <maxo> Has anyone found a way of saving data on an ext3 partition and being able to access that with Windows?
[17:55] <sacarlson> jimfleig: you can add a launcher to the control panel with a right click on it
[17:55] <chicognu> How I delete a folder that start with a ( with out rename it ?
[17:55] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, so you may want to install it
[17:55] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, sudo apt-get install nm-applet
[17:55] <jimfleig> Are there instructions available to accomplish this?
[17:56] <Seq> Can anybody help with xorg.conf.d for a trackball? I've got a file that seems to match (according to Xorg.0.log) but it fails to apply "AccelerationNumerator" or "AccelerationDenominator"
[17:56] <trism> chicognu: use single quotes: rm -rf '(directory_name'
[17:56] <sam-_-_> PeterFabinski, i'm sry. correct command is: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[17:56] <chicognu> trism, tk
[17:56] <Enigmati1Coder> I'm trying to use KDE screensavers along with xscreensavers. I installed kscreensaver, but they aren't showing up in the screensaver list. How can I use kscreensavers?
[17:56] <chicognu> trism, tks
[17:57] <jdioutkast> can some1 help me figure out why my computer randomly restarts
[17:57] <sacarlson> jimfleig: yes step 1 right click on control panel step 2 select add to panel, step 3 fill in the boxes.  done deal
[17:57] <sam-_-_> Gamer1990, can you post your q. again?
[17:57] <KM0201> Enigmati1Coder: they're prbably in a different location than Gnome screen savers.. you'll have to find them and move them most likely
[17:57] <gregL> maxo: samba
[17:58] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , i need help with my flickering video card.
[17:58] <Enigmati1Coder> KM0201: Thanks, let me try that
[17:58] <sam-_-_> Gamer1990, flickering?
[17:58] <maxo> gregL: but with the files on a remote host then?
[17:58] <PeterFabinski> hi
[17:58] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , pm me
[17:58] <KM0201> Enigmati1Coder: if i had to *GUESS*.. id' say they're probably under /home/.kde/something
[17:59] <gregL> maxo, Yes, I do it all the time..Winxp ,vista and win7
[17:59] <PeterFabinski> hi
[17:59] <jdioutkast> can some1 help me figure out why my computer randomly restarts
[18:00] <bonjoyee> jdioutkast: please be more elaborate..
[18:00] <KM0201> jdioutkast: are you sure thats linux related?.. that uusually suggests either a power supply (or if it happens to be a laptop) a cooling issue
[18:00] <Enigmati1Coder> I didn't see them in .kde. Is $ locate the best way to find them?
[18:00] <gregL> maxo google samba ubuntu 10.10
[18:00] <maxo> gregL: so do you use a NAS or something?
[18:00] <jdioutkast> im pretty sure its linux related, I have tested out all the hardware
[18:00] <KM0201> jdioutkast: seems very unlikely.
[18:01] <gregL> maxo,nope,I share my video files on my network..
[18:01] <jdioutkast> well im not sure what else it could be, i guess i could install windows on it and see if it still restarts
[18:01] <jimfleig> sacarlson  a right click on Applications (Ubuntu 10.?) got me where I needed to be  Thank You!
[18:01]  * KM0201 <3's FreeNas
[18:02] <maxo> gregL: so where are your documents stored?
[18:02] <jdioutkast> is their logs i could check or something that could give me any information?
[18:02] <maxo> gregL, (this is for a dual-boot system)
[18:02] <bonjoyee>  jdioutkast: System>Administration>LogViewer
[18:02] <jfactor> Hello, I recently used clamAv to preform a scan of a windows partition through Ubuntu, I then realised that my hard drive was 98% full. I can't find any files that may have caused this, can anyone help?
[18:03] <jdioutkast> which logs should i look at specifically?
[18:03] <nmefisto> hi
[18:03] <gregL> maxo: in my document folder...You can share any folders you want...
[18:03] <nmefisto> why i cant mount cdrom? on ubuntu 10.10
[18:03] <s_v_e_n> Hello - any chance to make phpgroupware working on lucid with php5.3 ?
[18:03] <s_v_e_n> I get many Deprecated-warnings and cannot login.
[18:03] <bonjoyee> jfactor: Applications>acessories>disk usage analyser
[18:04] <maxo> gregL: yes but if I boot up windows instead of ubuntu, how is it going to access the ext3 partition, since ubuntu isn't running to share that partition with smb?
[18:04] <nmefisto> i am in group cdrom... but anyway cant mount cdrom
[18:04] <gregL> maxo: ah! well that's a whole different situation then..
[18:05] <keito> my acer revo's audio has suddenly stopped working with maverick.  any ideas on how to get this back? Checked all sound settings and everything is as it should be... it's not a HW issue as XBMC  Live on the same machine works fine
[18:05] <maxo> gregL: I do have a NAS which shares files thru smb, but it's a bit noisy and not 100% reliable so I just use it for backups rather than holding a master copy of files
[18:05] <jfactor> bonjoyee: Thanks I will see what I can do with this
[18:06] <keito> maxo, there is software for Win that enables it to access ext3
[18:06] <gregL> maxo: sorry no help there..I have never tried to duel boot...
[18:07] <maxo> keito: ah yes, I just saw that, but not sure how reliable it is
[18:07] <maxo> I'm wondering whether I should do the most extreme thing I can do - wipe Windows 7 altogether, and then just run it within virtualbox on ubuntu. But not sure how well it would run
[18:08] <keito> maxo, last time i checked it was pretty crappy, but it worked to a fashion.. that was a LONG time ago though
[18:08] <keito> maxo, do that... VB is great and it's a much better way of working with 2 OSes
[18:08] <wilgil> I need help setting up a raid 5.  My drives keep switching from sda sdb sdc and sdd.  I am using ubuntu desktop and I just want to setup a raid 5 array to share my videos to all of my TVs.  Any help would be appreciated
[18:09] <maxo> keito, I feel it's a bit of an extreme approach. But I can't keep losing data!
[18:09] <liminal> im having a problem with dual monitor support in ubuntu - does anyone know how ubuntu decides which monitor is primary??
[18:09] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , pm me.
[18:09] <keito> maxo, why don't you have a shared partition?  NTFS (urggh!)  it'll work for both OSes
[18:10] <wilgil> Sorry, I will check in with you gurus later.  My old lady is informing me that we have to go to church.
[18:10] <keito> liminal, xorg.conf
[18:10] <liminal> keito sure.. but where
[18:10] <keito> liminal, good question... monitor device section?!  have a google
[18:11] <liminal> keito i have.. it doesnt
[18:11] <maxo> keito: but I think the problem is if I hibernate windows (though I'm not even sure if this is what happened this time), it caches ntfs data. Then, if I boot ubuntu and access that ntfs partition (even though it's not supposed to be able to, since it should have some sort of flag set on the partition), then boot back into windows, windows then messes up that ntfs partition
[18:12] <keito> maxo, ahhh in which case VB
[18:12] <Abhish> Does anybody know a good resource for learning Linux from the ground up? Like, I want to be saavy enough to build and configure my own distro if I wanted.
[18:13] <keito> liminal, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[18:13] <craiggles> hey guys, i've got a vps and i ssh into it, if i have a file on my vps, how can i get it from the vps to my this computer? surely there's a simple command.
[18:13] <keito> liminal, you specify main monitor and second monitor
[18:13] <Gamer1990> sam ?
[18:13] <snowrichard> craigggles you could use scp
[18:13] <KM0201> Abhish: crawl before you walk... learn the basics of the OS first
[18:14] <keito> what is a quick way to purge all sound settings without removing and re-installing?  my sound has died
[18:14] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , help.
[18:14] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , help.
[18:14] <Gamer1990> sam-_-_ , help.
[18:15] <maxo> Abhish: there's a distro that you have to compile it all yourself. I can't remember the name now though. But prob. best play around with command-line terminal stuff and getting the basics before building a whole distro
[18:15] <snowrichard> maxo - linux from scratch
[18:15] <keito> maxo, gentoo?!
[18:15] <maxo> yes gentoo!
[18:16] <maxo> and linux from scratch
[18:16] <keito> yes
[18:16] <Abhish> Well, I'm not talking about necesssarilly building a distro. But I would like aa source where I could learn up to that point. I went to the book store, and all the books there covered things I already knew.
[18:16] <keito> !sound > keito
[18:18] <Ray2> !Unity
[18:18] <keito> The sound troubleshooting wiki is seriously out-of-date.
[18:18] <sam-_-_> keito, better "/msg ubottu !sound"
[18:19] <keito> sam-_-_, yeah just seen that tip in a pm from the bot
[18:19] <sacarlson> Abhish: when you say your own destro do you want to make a derivitive of ubuntu?  you can create your own caches of deb files or create you own boot cd's
[18:20] <sam-_-_> keito, ok. i didn't know.
[18:20] <keito> sam-_-_, np  cheers for the tip though ;0)
[18:20] <Abhish> I have thought of that. But mainly I just really want to get geeky with it. I want ot understand the system fully.
[18:21] <Abhish> sacarlson basically, I just really want to understand Linux on a very fundamental level.
[18:22] <sam-_-_> Abhish, there is no single resource imho but you can always read the source code :-)
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> Abhish: then use ground up distros and learn the init system
[18:22] <keito> Abhish, get gentoo, it sounds like that is what you want
[18:22] <sacarlson> Abhish: you need a bit more focus to start maybe you want to learn to program in c?  maybe look at the source in the kernel at kernel.org  with git?
[18:22] <faceface> how do I install xmms
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> !xmms
[18:22] <sam-_-_> Abhish, gentoo is a good tip and maybe linux from scratch
[18:22] <faceface> how do I install xmms2
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> !find xmms2
[18:22] <keito> faceface, audacious
[18:23] <snowrichard> totem works quite well
[18:23] <aeon-ltd> !package xmms2
[18:23] <faceface> keito: I dont like audacous or otem
[18:23] <keito> xmms2 then
[18:23] <Abhish> I am learning C and C++ also, but I want to understand the system architecture. What makes it tick...
[18:23] <hylian> faceface, sudo apt-get install xmms2 from the terminal window would do it.
[18:23] <faceface> ty
[18:24] <sacarlson> Abhish: to acomplish anything you need focus and a goal.  put your first goal at a point you can reach or strive for.
[18:24] <sam-_-_> Abhish, LFS teaches people how a Linux system works internally
[18:25] <Abhish> sacarlson Ok, ultimately my goal would be to create my own distro... but I want the understanding that entails. I am looking at Linux From Scratch now... looks like a good resource.
[18:25] <sam-_-_> Abhish, that's a quote from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/
[18:25] <faceface> does xmms2 have a gui? xmms2 at the cli just gives me a command listing
[18:26] <Abhish> Why was gentoo recommended?
[18:26] <KM0201> Abhish: cuz it's nice and hard, you'll love it.
[18:26] <Abhish> Isn't that just another pre-packaged distro?
[18:26] <Abhish> O_O
[18:26] <Abhish> That sounds so dirty.
[18:26] <rocket16> Is there a way to change Pidgin status from memenu?
[18:26] <rigved> KM0201: hard as in robust?
[18:26] <KM0201> faceface: try audacious... very similar to the old xmms, if that what you're looking for.
[18:26] <KM0201> rigved: yes...
[18:27] <hylian> promoe is a gui for xmms2. sudo apt-get install promoe
[18:27] <keito> Abhish, you compile everything from source, beginning with the kernel, and build your system from there
[18:27] <faceface> KM0201: I'll give it a go, but I don't remeber liking in ;-)
[18:27] <hylian> faceface, promoe is a good gui for xmms2
[18:27] <KM0201> faceface: it's more or less the same thing... even uses xmms Skins if you hvae any downloaded
[18:27] <faceface> kc
[18:28] <faceface> ic
[18:28] <keito> Abhish, LFS is where you basically create a distro by putting the kernel and packages together.  gentoo is a distro where you build everything from scratch
[18:28] <Abhish> I'll take a look at gentoo. I have downloaded the books from LFS.
[18:28] <alecbenzer> why does the flex package make a symlink for flex++ that points to flex? aren't they different programs?
[18:28] <faceface> KM0201: hmm... looks good! Now let see if it can handle m3u...
[18:28] <sacarlson> Abhish: all that is really needed to make a custom destro is to create a prototype of the way you want you linux and package it into a iso cd and support a method of distubution in this case apt-get.
[18:29] <KM0201> faceface: pretty sure it can... not 100% though
[18:29] <KM0201> faceface: if not, download vlc  it'll play m3u
[18:29] <faceface> right
[18:29] <Abhish> I didn't imagine it would be very difficult... but I want to make damn sure that I know what I'm doing so I can get the desired result.
[18:29] <kyleslaptop> Does any one know how to fix a problem with the bar that has the exit, maximize and minimize thats mising?
[18:30] <Abhish> And I especially want the knowledge to be able to effectively trouble shoot my issues, instead of googlin myself into a coma.
[18:30] <KM0201> kyleslaptop: it's missing?.. are you using some sort of theme you downloaded, etc?
[18:30] <keito> kyleslaptop, add them in via gconf-editor?
[18:30] <faceface> KM0201: audacious ++! I wonder why I thought I didn't like it!
[18:30] <faceface> ty all
[18:30] <jianfei> does anyone have a link to tor not on the tor website? I need to download it, but the tor website is blocked where I am
[18:30] <KM0201> Abhish: and thats perfectly understandable, but you need to learn the OS, before you try to build one.... you don't learn to swim by becoming a lifeguard
[18:30] <dirtydevil> anyone can help me in assigning mouse events in Xlib?
[18:30] <sacarlson> Abhish: maybe take a look at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/remastersys after you have your prototype the way you want it to package into iso
[18:31] <sam-_-_> alecbenzer, obviously not or not anymore
[18:31] <KM0201> faceface: dunno, i've used it since the original xmms went away
[18:31] <r00t4rd3d> Abhish, what you desire takes year and years.
[18:31] <sam-_-_> alecbenzer, maybe it detects if it's run via symlink
[18:31] <Abhish> I'm an obsessive geek. I have years and years.
[18:31] <sam-_-_> alecbenzer, then behaves differently
[18:31] <Friar> I'm looking at building a new computer.....I do a lot of ripping DVDs and CDs so I want something with a lot of CPU power....I'm looking at the phenom 6 core. anyone have any comments about the phenom 6 core vs. the intel 6 core?
[18:31] <keito> kyleslaptop, in gconf-editor it's under Apps>Metacity>General -- Button Layout should be "close,minimize,maximize:"
[18:31] <slgma> thinking of switching from opendns to google dns - does ping matter? theres 25ms difference
[18:32] <Abhish> Phenom 6 core is excellent.
[18:32] <KM0201> Abhish: if you have years and years, then just google info on Linux from Scratch, and go at it...
[18:32] <sam-_-_> Friar, why would you need a 6 core. any reasons?
[18:32] <sacarlson> Abhish: it doesn't really take years and years to make a custom iso just collect the packages you like and change the settings the way you like and do it
[18:32] <Abhish> I'm starting on that now.
[18:32] <Friar> sam, I want them for encoding....
[18:33] <alecbenzer> sam-_-_: hm, I didn't know that could be done. it seems to not be working with a sample input file from a tutorial though...but I guess the tutorial's file might just be old or something
[18:33] <sam-_-_> Friar,x264?
[18:33] <KM0201> Abhish: well, its' really off topic for this channel, linux from scratch has a channel on another network
[18:33] <Friar> do it quite a bit, and my laptop right now only gets about 20 frames per second....yes sam, I use handbrake with H.264
[18:33] <Abhish> I'll go through LFS info for starters. THen I may  have a better idea of what I'm doing.
[18:33] <coperton> prima volta che utilizzo sta chat  qualcuno mi vuole aiutare
[18:33] <sayres> whats aplet in this pic???top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/
[18:33] <Abhish> O, does it?
[18:33] <r00t4rd3d> ive used unix based os's on and off for about 10 years. Im still a newb.
[18:33] <sam-_-_> alecbenzer, there is always the man pages :-)
[18:34] <Abhish> I'll google it.
[18:34] <KM0201> r00t4rd3d: he'll learn.. i was just hoping to get him to go away
[18:34] <r00t4rd3d> lol
[18:34] <Abhish> Man pages are lovely... unless you don't know what to look up in the first place.
[18:35] <KM0201> Abhish: if you want to be off topic, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:35] <faceface> Abhish: then irc is ++ ;-)
[18:35] <faceface> Abhish: go to
[18:35] <faceface> Abhish: go to ##linux
[18:36] <sayres> (10:03:51 PM) sayres: whats aplet in this pic???top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/  plz help
[18:36] <hylian> u
[18:36] <Friar> another note on the new build....I've had a lot of luck with OCZ SSDs, but they don't have a SATA III drives out yet. Does anyone know if they are coming out with any new drives?
[18:36] <sam-_-_> Friar, i would google for some benchmarks with x264
[18:36] <Ray2> Where to find gnome-unity and can it be used on 10.04 live cd
[18:36] <KM0201> sayres: that looks like system Monitor.. not 100% sure though
[18:36] <coperton>  k
[18:36] <KM0201> sayres: good looking screenshot though
[18:36] <sam-_-_> Friar, they are quite common. be sure that they use the same settings
[18:36] <MarkSS> Where can I read about why files are color coded the way they are in Ubuntu? I seem to recall a kind of list or something...
[18:36] <sacarlson> Abhish: oh if you don't know what to look up take a look at what files you see in /usr/bin and /bin and us man on what you see.  that might give you an idea.  if that fails google it
[18:38] <coperton> ce nemusu
[18:38] <sam-_-_> MarkSS, you are talking about /etc/bash.bashrc ?
[18:39] <Abhish> sacarlson good idea, thanks.
[18:39] <hylian> MarkSS, color coded??
[18:39] <Abhish> Ok, I'm looking at the LFS books now. This looks to be EXACTLY what I had hoped for. Thanks for the tip!
[18:40] <llutz> MarkSS: thats "dircolors" from coreutils
[18:40] <MarkSS> I go to /usr/bin and type ls and it gives me a long list of stuff. Some are green, some blue, some red, some double highlighted...
[18:40] <MarkSS> Ah!
[18:40] <sam-_-_> Abhish, but keep in mind that the ubuntu way may be different sometimes
[18:40] <MarkSS> I'm just trying to figure out what each color means heh
[18:40] <MarkSS> Where can I view dircolors?
[18:41] <sacarlson> MarkSS: well you can see with ls -l  how that is maped
[18:41] <Abhish> sam-_-_ thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I have played with a couple of distros, and have noticed some subtle yet significant differences.
[18:41] <sam-_-_> MarkSS, echo $LS_COLORS
[18:41] <sam-_-_> MarkSS, for the colors that ls uses
[18:42] <Ray2> Where to find gnome-unity and can it be used on 10.04 live cd
[18:42] <MarkSS> ahhhh
[18:42] <MarkSS> Thanks!
[18:42] <hylian> MarkSS, dircolors -p will give you a directory of what the colors mean.

[18:44] <hylian> Ray2, you can download it, but unity is meant to be a replacement for gnome, not to run on top of it, and it's crashy if you do, im writing from a netbook that had unity as the main gui.

[18:45] <pid_> So I ran the script to share c and d drive
[18:45] <pid_> How do I make these run on startup?
[18:45] <pid_> I googled it but it told me to run /etc/init.d/rc.local
[18:45] <pid_> and put it in there
[18:45] <pid_> But when I run that noting happens
[18:45] <seek> I want to upload from my JVC dgital camera have a firewire connection do i need some kind of driver?
[18:46] <pid_> Can anyone help?
[18:46] <jeroenimo> pid_: which commands?
[18:46] <pid_> sudo mount -t vboxsf cdrive /home/pid/cdrive
[18:47] <jeroenimo> pid_: sudo is not necessary
[18:47] <sam-_-_> pid_ put it in /etc/rc.local without the sudo
[18:47] <sayres>  KM0201:I do not know what?I think it is screenlets ...You know what?
[18:47] <hylian> Ray2, i realize i didn't answer your question, sorry. if you run synaptic, you should be able to install it just by searching for unity, making unity your default gui however, im not 100% certain of. you may be able to at login
[18:47] <MarkSS> I need to install a plugin-wireless usb key thing. What program is good for doing it? It requires a CD to install the driver. Will need to extract that somehow too.
[18:48] <mimmostella1983> Ciao amici di #ubuntu !!
[18:48] <hylian> MarkSS, your question is, erratic, sorry dude, can you be way more clear?
[18:48] <pid_> When I runWhen I run ect/rc.local nothing happens
[18:48] <mimmostella1983> ciao
[18:49] <mimmostella1983> !list
[18:49] <sam-_-_> pid_ of course not. it does nothing by default
[18:49] <sam-_-_> pid_ but if you edit the file and put your code in it will run at startup
[18:49] <MarkSS> Of course. I have a usb-key like device that gives me wireless. I need to get a file off the driver CD it came with to make it work. What package(s) will enable me to set this up and get my connection working?
[18:49] <hylian> !ubottu
[18:50] <P1nkrabbit> evening all :)
[18:50] <sacarlson> MarkSS: most wirless keythings are plug and play are you sure it doesn't work?
[18:50] <sam-_-_> MarkSS, which brand?
[18:50]  * hylian nods to pinkrabbitt
[18:50] <jeroenimo> MarkSS: chipset?
[18:50] <pid_> Thats the thing..I cant edit it, when it opens it is empty
[18:50] <MarkSS> sec
[18:50] <braidlove> hello, can anyone tell me whether my comp is running the proprietary driver or the open driver for the graphics card? thanks.
[18:51] <braidlove> i have newly installed Ubuntu 10.10 yestrady
[18:51] <keito> pid_, I would put the commands in a script, make it executable and then add the script to the Startup Apps in System>Prefs
[18:51] <P1nkrabbit> im new and having problems with installing ubuntu10.10
[18:51] <MarkSS> It is a Cisco Linksys AE1000
[18:51] <sam-_-_> keito, but they need to be run as root. is it possible with system>prefs ?
[18:52] <pid_> How would I do that?
[18:52] <Ray2> hylian, Unity not found in synaptic ...Is it still unstable ...Do you need to download an iso to have it instead of gnome
[18:52] <hylian> braidlove, under the system - administration - additional drivers will show you what drivers are running if any, and what is available. all the drivers in the additional drivers section are usually not open.
[18:52] <sam-_-_> !ask|P1nkrabbit
[18:52] <P1nkrabbit> it goes well untill i reach the installation part where it has to retrieve files ... it doesnt retrieve any lol
[18:52] <xangua> Ray2: hylian sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook
[18:53] <jeroenimo> MarkSS: mac80211 seems supporting that chipset
[18:53] <sayres> Who knows what is this?   top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/  plzz
[18:53] <sam-_-_> P1nkrabbit, you install from cd?
[18:53] <P1nkrabbit> any idea why?
[18:53] <braidlove> hylian: thanks. "additional drivers" shows just a big blank.
[18:53] <P1nkrabbit> yes i install from cd
[18:53] <hylian> Ray2, well, i know that if you download the netbook edition, you will already have it. if you are not using a netbook, it defaults to gnome, and vice versa, but once it is installed, you can choose your favorite gui at login.
[18:53] <Ray2> xangua, I am using a pc with 10.04
[18:53] <braidlove> hylian: does this mean I'm NOT running proprietary driver ? Does that mean also that I'm NOT running open driver?
[18:54] <sam-_-_> P1nkrabbit, it shouldn't be necessary to retrieve any files for the install
[18:54] <xangua> Ray2: unity is only aviable since 10.10
[18:54] <keito> P1nkrabbit, no.  rc.local for that -- try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=659091
[18:54] <hylian> braidlove, ofcoarse i can't tell from here, but if you haven't installed any driver you will be running off of the default no thrills vesa driver, which is open.
[18:54] <wizardslovak> hello people
[18:54] <keito> P1nkrabbit, that wasn't meant for you sorry! ;0)
[18:54] <Ray2> xangua, hylian thanks for the info
[18:54] <wizardslovak> is there software to cut mp3 in half in ubuntu?
[18:54] <braidlove> hylian: is open better than propiertary?
[18:55] <keito> wizardslovak, mp3splt
[18:55] <MarkSS> I guess it just doesn't work
[18:55] <braidlove> hylian: also, if proprieatray driver is better than open driver, where can i get proprietary drivers?
[18:55] <wilhart> http://pastebin.ca/2023731
[18:55] <wilhart> plz
[18:55] <jeroenimo> MarkSS: iwconfig gives no output, and dmesg gives info when you plug in the adapter
[18:55] <hylian> braidlove, define better. for me, no. i like 3d environments, like celestia, so no. also if you like those things that make your desktop look slick like the see through menu's and bar's, then no.
[18:55] <keito> wizardslovak, there is a gui -- mp3splt-gtk
[18:56] <wizardslovak> keito,  thank you
[18:56] <sam-_-_> wizardslovak, try audacious
[18:56] <keito> wizardslovak, np
[18:56] <wilhart> having problem with pulseaudio http://pastebin.ca/2023731
[18:56] <hylian> braidlove, the additional drivers section is proprietary.
[18:56] <sam-_-_> wizardslovak, ahm audacity. sry about the wrong name
[18:56] <braidlove> hylian: but why is there nothing in the add'l drivers section?
[18:56] <braidlove> hylian: nothing to pci
[18:57] <braidlove> hylian: nothing to pick.
[18:57] <P1nkrabbit> i also have the issue that i currently have the internet but when running the installation i dont have internet, and it is a wired connection i use.
[18:57] <wizardslovak> keito,  do u know how to cut with ti?
[18:57] <keito> sam-_-_, audacity is a little hardcore for mere splitting, mp3splt is perfect for the job.... I do love audacity though =D
[18:57] <sacarlson> MarkSS: sounds like it's a ralink chip and may need to look at this http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1567328
[18:57] <hylian> braidlove, what is your hardware? if it is intel based, then you may be using the best driver for your hardware already, or you could be using a nvidia or ati card that is not supported.
[18:58] <sam-_-_> keito, ok good tip

[18:59] <roknir> Ub3r-N00b: there are geoIP databases that would have estimated info, but it's not perfect.  also, i haven't found any that are free...
[18:59] <keito> wizardslovak, not on a machine with it installed at the moment to guide you through
[18:59] <sacarlson> Ub3r-N00b: only if your the fbi or if it goes to a fixed static ip host that can be easily looked up.  but they normaly have many customers.
[18:59] <braidlove> hylian: is this ATI card supported in ubuntu?
[19:00] <wilhart> having problem with pulseaudio http://pastebin.ca/2023731
[19:00] <sam-_-_> braidlove, of course but not by fglrx
[19:00] <keito> wilhart, aren't we all? ;0)
[19:00] <sam-_-_> braidlove, should work "out of the box"
[19:00] <hylian> braidlove, i may have some bad news for you, ati is not exactly the most supported hardware for linux. the company has to provide drivers, and ati isn't known for keeping up with their hardware that's only a few years old. im going to take a look and see if i can find if that card is supported.
[19:00] <braidlove> sam-_-_: i don't understand
[19:00] <Ub3r-N00b> i have found the street where the computer is located, but i need the exact street number, that would presupose that it is a fixed static ip
[19:00] <braidlove> hylian: thanks.
[19:01] <Ub3r-N00b> roknir, coul you give me some software names ?
[19:01] <sam-_-_> braidlove, fglrx is the proprietary driver by ati
[19:01] <wilhart> keito, ?
[19:01] <giuseppe_> qualcuno mi può aiutare?
[19:01] <sacarlson> roknir: Ub3r-N00b: there are geo ip look ups that are free.  they will give you some info like contry and maybe the isp provider
[19:01] <pid_> Ok, so im back. that didn't work
[19:01] <Enigmati1Coder> exit
[19:01] <sam-_-_> braidlove, your card is supported by the opensource driver though
[19:01] <keito> wilhart, joke... pulseaudio is the bane of many an ubuntu user
[19:01] <pid_> How do I make a script into an exe?
[19:01] <braidlove> sam-_-_: so what can i do
[19:01] <braidlove> ?
[19:02] <roknir> Ub3r-N00b: http://www.ip2location.com/ but again, i really don't think you're going to get more accurate than street/block.  i doubt you'll get an address #.
[19:02] <braidlove> sam-_-_: r u saying that my driver should just work as is?
[19:02] <keito> pid_, sudo chmod +x
[19:02] <sam-_-_> braidlove, doesn't  it just work?
[19:02] <Ub3r-N00b> roknir, thanks mate
[19:02] <braidlove> sam-_-_: well, not sure what you mean by "work". but in braid (the game), it crashes
[19:02] <wilhart> keito, what should i do now ? remove pulse?
[19:02] <hylian> braidlove, what sam is saying is that the open driver, which does work, does not have all the functionality that the proprietary driver has.
[19:03] <hylian> yet
[19:03] <keito> wilhart, that tends to fix most peoples issues, but it's a right royal pain in the ass to do
[19:03] <pid_> Could you be a bit more specific?
[19:03] <sacarlson> roknir: Ub3r-N00b: like this one is free and gives my isp provider and country http://ip-lookup.net/
[19:03] <PeterFabinski> how do i shut down
[19:03] <sayres> :'(
[19:03] <keito> pid_, sudo chmod +x /path/to/script
[19:04] <sam-_-_> braidlove, run this glxinfo |grep -i direct
[19:04] <pid_> Ahh, cheers mate
[19:04] <keito> pid_, np
[19:04] <hylian> braidlov e, you may want to check out another distro, like pclinuxos. i hate to turn you from ubuntu, but some of the other distro's are using older kernels and can then use older drivers from proprietary sources.
[19:04] <sayres> Who knows what is this?   top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/  plzz:'(
[19:05] <keito> braidlove, or you oculd upgrade that card of yours.. it's old school ;)
[19:05] <roknir> sacarlson: that information is general though.  you can dig that up from just the IP without needing a geoIP solution.
[19:05] <sam-_-_> hylian, the opensource driver is fine. it doesn't provide full 3d accel yet but other than that...
[19:05] <pid_> sudo chmod +x mount -t vboxsf cdrive /home/pid/cdrive Is that right?
[19:05] <jdioutkast> does anyone know of any bios setting that causes ubuntu to random restart?
[19:06] <hylian> sam i personally was crippled by ubuntu for 2 years, which is when i went to pclinuxos. im back now because i finally got the money to buy a nvidia card that is supported, but.
[19:06] <sam-_-_> jdioutkast, some bios provide the ability to start at a certain time or by "wake on lan" but not just random
[19:06] <juancarlos> hola
[19:06] <sacarlson> roknir: ya yours is cooler but it says I'm in bangkok about 100 miles away but gives a lat/lon that is cool you can see me from google earth now
[19:06] <PeterFabinski> how do i shut down
[19:06] <wilhart> keito, do you know any url that i could follow?
[19:06] <keito> sayres, where did you get the shot?  did it not say?  could be anything.  maybe conky or a screenlet?
[19:07] <Wyn> PeterFabinski: errr top right icon ?
[19:07] <rigved> PeterFabinski: what do you want to shut down?
[19:07] <sam-_-_> hylian, ok. but the situation is constantly improving imho :-)

[19:08] <Lancelot> I'm running Karmic, and something strange just happened. I was using firefox and all of a sudden the screen went all funny. It broke up into rectangular segments and those frozen segments rendered random parts of the screen. Is that just a freak video driver crash?
[19:08] <hylian> sam-_-_, you are right, it is, which is why i said yet. the open source driver for fglrx is gonna be awesome, it's just gonna take some time.
[19:08] <keito> wilhart, I've had nothing but ballache when trying to remove pulse in the past,  there is(/was) no concise guide, I battled it out... alsa irc chan was a good place to start

[19:13] <braidlove> sam-_-_: check out humblebundle.com
[19:13] <Wyn> wilhart: try clicking on prefrences under the volume control first just to see whats using it, you have audiocity or some such running ?
[19:13] <Lancelot> Wyn: I don't have a /debug directory. Which log file should I be looking for?
[19:13] <Flannel> nirazio: How much RAM do you have, and do you ever intend to hibernate?
[19:14] <keito> wilhart, there is a troubleshooting guide that shows you how to purge, but it is out of date

[19:14] <sam-_-_> braidlove, oh yeah. i heard about that.
[19:14] <pid_> I still have the problem, any other solutions?
[19:14] <sam-_-_> braidlove, it very likely is a bug in the drivers.

[19:15] <sayres>  Can you tell me how can I correct this way?     top ,right       -> http://img522.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2s.png/:-X
[19:15] <braidlove> sam-_-_: yes, i'm in ubuntu 10.10, but haven't donet he update
[19:15] <sam-_-_> braidlove, you also may want to enable ubuntu-updates
[19:15] <braidlove> sam-_-_: i haven't done the ubuntu-updates becaes of our pricey internet bandwidth plan
[19:15] <Wyn> keito: just use syanptic manger, search alsa, remove, re.install if thats what you want
[19:15] <Frenk> Hey I have a question concerning TELNET - when I telnet e.g. Port 25 (SMTP) which information does my computer send? Does it send my computers name???
[19:15] <nirazio> Flannel: I never use hibernation
[19:15] <BugStalker> Hi all
[19:16] <hylian> braidlove, did you check the message i sent to you in private? (and please try and not use private)
[19:16] <Lancelot> Wyn: okay, I have some output. Nothing looks out of the ordinary
[19:16] <sam-_-_> braidlove, hmm... i'm afraid i can't help you then
[19:16] <keito> Wyn, there's surely more to it... modules etc....  I would like a command line one-liner ideally
[19:16] <stevecoh1> sbackup problem.  I am trying to use the sbackup package to back up from one computer to another in my home network.  I specify the connection as<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and I get no permission errors.  However I am able to connect via ssh as user, and there are no permission problems.  What am I missing?
[19:16] <Flannel> nirazio: Is this just a standard desktop? or are you going to be playing with servers and stuff?
[19:17] <wilhart> oh, man
[19:17] <wilhart> probably have to install linux again
[19:17] <stevecoh1> again - why would ssh work but sbackup over ssh not work?
[19:17] <nirazio> Flannel: Standard desktop
[19:17] <Wyn> keito: remove and purge it then but you will miss some, searching with synaptic will give you the lot including libaries and modules
[19:17] <pid_> im trying to run a script as an exe...
[19:17] <keito> Wyn, k
[19:17] <Wyn> Lancelot: wait in and see if it happens again, update etc
[19:17] <BugStalker> For what it is worth - I thought a simple word of constructive criticism might be in order.  PERSONALLY I have not switched to Ubuntu - because it is too "cartoonish".  I work in a business environment.  I don't need my supervisors looking over my shoulder and thinking I am playing a game
[19:18] <Wyn> pid_: chmod +x
[19:18] <Flannel> nirazio: I'd go 10GB /, 1GB /boot, 2GB swap, and then the rest /home
[19:18] <keito> pid_, chmod +x makes a file executable
[19:18] <BugStalker> I work with SUSE linux at work, simply because right out of the box - it looks professional
[19:18] <keito> pid_, what do you mean by exe?
[19:18] <Lancelot> Wyn: okay, but don't the logs clear with each reboot?
[19:18] <NCS_One> hi
[19:18] <pid_> I tried that, I get  chmod: cannot access `+x': No such file or directory
[19:18] <pid_> chmod: cannot access `mount': No such file or directory
[19:18] <pid_> chmod: cannot access `vboxsf': No such file or directory
[19:18] <BugStalker> You can pass those comments on to whomever does the programming for ubuntu - or you can let it fall on deaf ears
[19:19] <Wyn> Lancelot: na, depends on the logs, they rotate on the sys logs
[19:19] <wilhart> keito, hmm no help there.
[19:19] <Wyn> pid_: re-wind dude
[19:19] <Wyn> pid_: can you ls the file you want to chmod ?
[19:19] <nirazio> Flannel: Thank you :)
[19:19] <NCS_One> I'm trying to play some mkv movie and it get out of sync, what do I need to install to play it right?
[19:20] <Wyn> NCS_One: mkv is a contaner format, VLC plays it well
[19:20] <hylian> pid_, it is chmod a+x filename, so like chmod a+x vboxsrv etc..
[19:20] <keito> pid_, ?  you need to put the command in a file, name it whatever, eg "startup-script.sh", then if it is on your desktop "sudo chmod +x ~/Desktop/startup-script.sh"
[19:20] <hylian> braidlove, i hope you find what you need, no matter what you decide.
[19:20] <Flannel> nirazio: No problem
[19:21] <keito> pid_, you should look up creating bash scripts on google
[19:22] <smt-mobil> hi, where to put a script that should be executed before login?
[19:22] <pid_> Ok...Running ubuntu through virtualdesk...want to share files from host...ran sudo mount -t vboxsf cdrive /home/pid/cdrive...But I want to autorun at startup...somone suggested as setting is as an exe
[19:22] <keito> pid_, the startup-script should begin "#!/bin/bash" as the first line in the text file
[19:23] <EnigmaticCoder> Is there any "intercom" software that would allow my parents to speak into a microphone downstairs and call me on my computer upstairs?
[19:23] <braidlove> hylian: why not use private?
[19:24] <braidlove> hylian i like private because it puts all my messages together without all the other messages
[19:24] <braidlove> 8 - 0
[19:24] <braidlove> 8-)
[19:24] <hylian> braidlove, i think it's discouraged because then not everyone can be at your disposal, im not certain if that's the truth, i just know they look upon going private here.
[19:24] <Wyn> EnigmaticCoder: spend 10 bucks on a baby thing
[19:25] <pid_> That doesn’t  really help....
[19:25] <dn> tnx for help...
[19:25] <Wyn> pid_: what, exactly are you trying to do
[19:26] <Wyn> braidlove: theres 1465 people in channel, thats useful
[19:26] <keito> pid_, http://www.diy-computer-repairs.com/ubuntu-10-04-virtualbox-shared-folders/
[19:26] <yop129> why does going to System - About Ubuntu show me as having 11.04 natty narwhal?
[19:26] <keito> pid_, that guide has everything you need
[19:26] <sam-_-_> braidlove, you may try the vesa driver. but braid will not run with those i'm afraid
[19:26] <Lancelot> yop129 - what version are you using?
[19:27] <hylian> yop129, did you download and install the development version?
[19:27] <pid_> Imma take a look
[19:27] <bliss_> need some help with rc.local I have to  insert “su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv"” before the “exit 0″.
[19:27] <keito> pid_, literally everything...  you want to pay attention to the last bit
[19:27] <yop129> Lancelot, i'm using 10.10
[19:27] <bliss_> do i uncomment the bash sript
[19:28] <bliss_> script
[19:28] <hylian> yop129, i downloaded and installed 10.10, and it says im using 11.04 too..
[19:28] <yop129> hylian, no, i dled 10.10 and installed that, i've checked the about page before and it's shown 10.10, not for some reason it shows 11.04
[19:28] <Lancelot> bwah?
[19:28] <mongy> bliss_, above the exit line yes, but no need for su
[19:28] <yop129> hylian, hmm, really odd, says released in April 2011 lol
[19:29] <NCS_One> Wyn: I'm getting a lot of breakes
[19:29] <bliss_> mongy: thanks why no need for su?
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> bliss_:  just enter the  line befor the exit 0 line.. thats all there is to it.
[19:29] <Wyn> NCS_One: was the mkv a download from, errr the web ?
[19:29] <hylian> yop129, uname -a should give you the true info using the terminal
[19:29] <NCS_One> Wyn: yes
[19:29] <sIDx> mine says 11.04 also
[19:29] <mongy> bliss_,  the script (rc.local) is run as root
[19:30] <bliss_> mongy: ok
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> bliss_:  you may want a & at the end of that line.
[19:30] <hylian> yop129, oops that's what kernal version you are using
[19:30] <yop129> hylian, hmm it outputs 2.6.35-23generic
[19:30] <bliss_> Dr_Willis: say that again please
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> bliss_:  err.. you do want a su -- because it looks like youa are runnign that as the vboxers user.. from what i recall.
[19:30] <bliss_> yes
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> bliss_:  --> commandyouarerunning &
[19:31] <yop129> alright well at least it's not just me lol
[19:31] <hylian> yop129, it's lsb_release -a not uname, my bad.
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv"  &
[19:31] <mongy> bliss_,  sorry, usually dont need su :)  Dr_Willis to the rescue
[19:31] <bliss_> ah ok thanks
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> mongy:  you dont want screen running as root. :)
[19:32] <Wyn> NCS_One: it may be the source file then, if VLC and movie player for instance show the same it is the source, side note to sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:32] <yop129> hylian, alright now it shows 10.10, guess someone updated the about page too soon
[19:32] <hylian> yop129, it says under about ubuntu 11.04, but lsb_release -a says 10.10.
[19:32] <mongy> Dr_Willis, i dont  use rc.local much, very simple commands normally...  ill keep that in mind
[19:32] <Dr_Willis> night all
[19:32] <hylian> yop129, ok, cool
[19:32] <sam-_-_> yop129, why does it bother you?
[19:32] <yop129> hylian, yeah, since it's not just me then i won't worry
[19:33] <yop129> sam-_-_, nah, just wanted to make sure it's not just me, that there's not something wrong
[19:33] <sam-_-_> yop129, ok :-)
[19:33] <bx-gh> Just a question to all... who's really is writing and compiling ubuntu and placing it online for all of us?
[19:33] <bx-gh> who are the devs
[19:33] <pid_> the guide is not helping..
[19:33] <SageX> !up
[19:34] <Wyn> bx-gh: me, im all up in your box
[19:34] <sam-_-_> bx-gh folks from all over the world
[19:34] <NCS_One> Wyn: already have that, I always had problems playing mkv files, but when I try the same source on windows it plays ok
[19:34] <pngl> Hi, I am not showing up as part of a group even though I am on the group line in /etc/group. Any ideas
[19:34] <sam-_-_> bx-gh, the dev is done at launchpad.net
[19:34] <yop129> lol anyway one more question, i installed xchat, but i don't get any notifications, i beleive it's called lib-notify right?, I even installed the libnotify-bin optional package when installing xchat
[19:34] <pid_> keito: the guide aint helping much, im still stuck here mate
[19:34] <mongy> xchat-indicator
[19:34] <Wyn> bx-gh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#Ubuntu%20Core%20Developers
[19:35] <bx-gh> but how makes the finally decision for what goes in and comes out of this distro
[19:35] <bx-gh> ok thanks
[19:35] <geirha> pngl: Changes to group membership doesn't take effect before you log in again.
[19:35] <monty_hall> In courier mail I have to change owner for /var/run/authdaemon to daemon:daemon.  How can I let this happen @ boot time?
[19:35] <expiation> is there a way to install wubi bigger than 30gb or to increase the size after?
[19:36] <pngl> geirha: doesn't opening a new bash count as login?
[19:36] <geirha> pngl: It does not.
[19:36] <yop129> mongy, any idea what the libnotify-bin was that is listed underneath the xchat install?
[19:36] <Wyn> NCS_One: weird, try vls filename.mkv
[19:36] <mongy> yop129, no idea.. but the app you need is xchat-indicator.
[19:36] <pngl> geirha: thank you.
[19:36] <yop129> mongy, alright, thanks
[19:36] <monty_hall> clear
[19:37] <mongy> yop129, well its the notify system itself, just what it has to do with xchat (nothing) idk
[19:37] <Wyn> NCS_One: watch for the error and vlc's output and then we can debug the traceback
[19:37] <bliss_> Dr_Willis: like this does anything need uncommenting http://pastebin.com/u6CQRj3L
[19:37] <kingOfBudz> my computer's broke
[19:37] <mongy> bliss_,  only 1 " ?
[19:38] <yop129> mongy, hmm that's weird because it was originally blanked out underneath the xchat in ubuntu software center and i selected it so that i would get the notifications, but nothing from xchat, every other ntoficastion worked before
[19:38] <mongy> yop129, I think some apps have it coded in, and others dont, and need extra packages, like xchat
[19:39] <sam-_-_> kingOfBudz then let it acquire currency...
[19:39] <mongy> bliss_, looks ok apart from that tho....
[19:39] <bliss_> mongy: ok thanks whats & for?
[19:39] <GaryD> yop129: i am using pidgin for irc...
[19:40] <yop129> mongy, yeah just weird why it has libnotify-bin listed underneath it, ok i installed the indicator let me restart and try it
[19:40] <mongy> puts it to background
[19:40] <kingOfBudz> i know it sucks i was really stoned and spilled coffee on it
[19:40] <yop129> GaryD, i've used it before, don't really like it, pidgin is for im
[19:40] <mongy> brb
[19:40] <braidlove> sam-_-_: ok. i'll update
[19:41] <braidlove> sam-_-_: but how can i update ONLY the packages relevant to this driver?
[19:41] <Wyn> bliss_: the Dr is not in the house and no
[19:41] <noonian> braidlove, why wouldn't you want to update everything?
[19:41] <bliss_> mongy: ok thanks whats & for?
[19:41] <magicianlord> noonian: sometimes packages can break things
[19:41] <yop129> can someone mention my name, i wanna see if the notification works
[19:41] <Wyn> kingOfBudz: did you try and turn it on again ?
[19:42] <Wyn> yop129:
[19:42] <sam-_-_> braidlove, try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-radeon
[19:42] <Lancelot> how do you get in/out of the console only mode?
[19:42] <sam-_-_> braidlove, might be a lot nonetheless
[19:42] <braidlove> sam-_-_:  xserver-xorg-video-radeon is already the newest version.
[19:42] <UbuntuNewbie> If anyone knows how to answer this question I will be greatful: I have just installed ubuntu 10.10 and when the computer boots it doesn

[19:42] <yop129> damn, didn't work one sec
[19:42] <sam-_-_> braidlove did you run sudo apt-get update before?
[19:43] <braidlove> noonian: because currently, my interned bandwidth is VERY pricey 8 - )

[19:44] <nirazio> how to install intous 4 driver???
[19:44] <sam-_-_> braidlove, all 3G?
[19:44] <Wyn> UbuntuNewbie: X should of course start on boot, did you edit anything ? or is this a clean install ?
[19:44] <braidlove> sam-_-_: what do you mean "all  3g"?
[19:44] <yop129> can someone say my name plz
[19:44] <UbuntuNewbie> Wyn: It is a clean install.
[19:44] <braidlove> yop129: why?
[19:44] <Wyn> kingOfBudz: NO DO NOT TURN IT ON
[19:44] <gobbe> UbuntuNewbie: just log in and try startx
[19:44] <sam-_-_> braidlove, do go to the internet via 3G?
[19:44] <yop129> braidlove, test, thanks it works :)
[19:44] <noonian> also, how do you get the behavior UbuntuNewbie is describing if i want it?
[19:44] <Wyn> kingOfBudz: TURN IT OFF dry it the fuck out then clean it off and dry it again
[19:45] <sam-_-_> braidlove, or DSL or cable?
[19:45] <braidlove> sam-_-_:  do you mean via a cellphone company. if so, yes
[19:45] <magicianlord> what's better : ubuntu 10.10 32bit or 64bit
[19:45] <braidlove> it's HSPA
[19:45] <Jordan_U> !language | Wyn
[19:45] <UbuntuNewbie> I get no errors it just doesn
[19:45] <Guest50829> does anyone know how to get or install itunes that WORKS other than using VirtualBox?

[19:46] <UbuntuNewbie> gobbe: thats what I do, but I would like it to do that automatically
[19:46] <yop129> can someone say my name, last time i promise
[19:46] <braidlove> sam-_-_: yeah , it doees so much.
[19:46] <Wyn> UbuntuNewbie: it may not be starting at the right run level, if it is a new clean install just re-install it, it would prob be quicker
[19:46] <nirazio> how to install intous 4 driver???
[19:46] <sam-_-_> braidlove, country?
[19:46] <UbuntuNewbie> Wyn Okay, I will try that, thanks
[19:46] <noonian> Guest50829, iTunes doesnt have a linux version so you are stuck either using a VM or running it through wine. If you havent tried alternatives though I would recommend banshee
[19:46] <Wyn> yop129: yop129 yop129
[19:46] <nicolaus> hey guys my cd drive wont accept burn cds can someone help me fix it
[19:47] <braidlove> sam-_-_: canada

[19:47] <Guest50829> Yeah, nothing works really. Oh well I can live without, thanks anyway!
[19:47] <Wyn> nicolaus: all or any particular kind ? prob your cd reader not Ubuntu
[19:47] <sam-_-_> braidlove, very nice apart from the internet :-)
[19:48] <bliss_> re my question about rc local should this line be with or without quotes" su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv"
[19:48] <nicolaus> wyn: i tried it in other computers but it work
[19:48] <sam-_-_> nicolaus, somtimes it helps to clean the lens
[19:48] <durando> how can i run seperate resolutions under multi display without changing the desktop area?
[19:48] <PeterFabinski> how do i ssh
[19:48] <braidlove> sam-_-_: yes.
[19:48] <ay_> hey
[19:49] <GaryD> noonian: i believe to get the behavior UbuntuNewbie is having just remove gdm.
[19:49] <Jordan_U> !ssh | PeterFabinski
[19:49] <sam-_-_> braidlove, also cold this time of year
[19:49] <ay_> i use usb creator gtk software to create bootable os in usb
[19:49] <Wyn> nicolaus: the reader or the cd's ?
[19:49] <bliss_> ssh  yourusername"yourdomin.com
[19:49] <nicolaus> the reader
[19:49] <ay_> but i cant take no live file system found error
[19:49] <bliss_> @
[19:49] <ay_> what the hell
[19:49] <yop129> mongy, hey, figured out that i don't need libnotify-bin nor xchat-indicator, there's a setting in the prefrences to turn it on, so i don't even know what those two are for
[19:49] <nicolaus> i think its the region on the laptop
[19:49] <Wyn> ay_: UNETbottin rocks for usb's
[19:50] <ay_> i try to install mint
[19:50] <Wyn> nicolaus: no, not under Ubuntu
[19:50] <GaryD> ay_: unetbootin all the way. you can create almost any kind of linux live usb.
[19:50] <ay_> and i create with unetbootin
[19:50] <Jordan_U> !mint | ay_
[19:50] <ay_> i took this is not valid system disk
[19:50] <Wyn> GaryD: heck yeah, I have four installs on one USB, UNETBottin is great
[19:50] <ay_> please inset another disk error,
[19:50] <nicolaus> right now i am using windows 7 to test it
[19:51] <mongy> yop129, erm... I dont get notifications unless I use the indicator pkg
[19:51] <Wyn> ay_: your burning it wrong then I guess, just use a USB if you can, fast and fun
[19:51] <nicolaus> but it was working before but when i ran a system recovery it just stop work
[19:51] <durando> hey guys anyone good with multi display setups?
[19:51] <GaryD> Wyn: lol...yep...with the size of flash drives these days you can be amazed what you can use them for.
[19:51] <mongy> yop129, I think you are thinking of other methods of notification, Im more interested in the ubuntu notify system..
[19:51] <nicolaus> but original discs work fine but just the burn disc dont work
[19:52] <Wyn> nicolaus: you mean you have a dual boot and the cd's work in one system and not the other, you are putting the disks in another couputer or you have taken the cd-rom hardware out and are testing it under windows ?
[19:52] <yop129> mongy, try uninstalling the xchatindicator and in prefrences just turn on show tray balloons on highlighted message and private message, i did that and it worked
[19:52] <yop129> mongy, yeah the ubuntu one where u receive a message at top right, right?
[19:52] <bliss_>  rrc.local -with or without the quotes su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv
[19:53] <mongy> yop129, yeah thats what I mean... I prefer to get notifications this way..
[19:53] <bliss_> su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv"
[19:53] <SageX> anyone recommend a linux game programming book??
[19:53] <yop129> mongy, yeah that's how i'm getting it now without indicator, weird
[19:53] <mongy> yop129, but what about when you are on a different desktop
[19:53] <magicianlord> when will linux drivers for sound and graphics be equal to windows?
[19:54] <GaryD> is it possible to make an ubuntu system with a gui that is written completely in html/css/javascript? sort of a webuntu?
[19:54] <sam-_-_> SageX, which programming-language
[19:54] <nicolaus> no wyn: The pc is only windows 7 but it wont read burn cds only originals.
[19:54] <yop129> mongy, what do u mean different desktop, like workspace? i was on different workspace a second ago and got notification that u sent
[19:54] <mongy> magicianlord, when vendors become less proprietary :)
[19:54] <mongy> yop129, thru the notification system?
[19:54] <nicolaus> i want to install ubuntu but i have it on a burn cd that i have been using a long time which works fine but when i put it in the computer it dont work
[19:55] <yop129> mongy, yeah, the one that popups with black background
[19:55] <sam-_-_> nicolaus, try cleaning the lens of the cd drive or burn ubuntu again then try again
[19:55] <Wyn> nicolaus: im sorry, you cant read burned cd's on a windows installation or Ubuntu ? and it is your reader anyway i would think, not all cd reader hardware supports burned cd's of some types cd-+r example
[19:55] <SageX> sam-_-_,  C# / C++
[19:55] <mongy> yop129, well thats changed then.... I tried without ages ago
[19:55] <magicianlord> manbra: what is the vendors' major malfunction?
[19:55] <mongy> let me try it
[19:55] <Hydrogoo> Hey folks
[19:55] <bliss_> mongy: su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv" with or without the quotes
[19:56] <mongy> yop oh wait, you use a tray icon?    I dont
[19:56] <farmer|mir> Is there a way to emulate Active Desktops in Ubuntu? IE, having a web page as the wallpaper?
[19:56] <mongy> last thing I want is extra stuff up there
[19:56] <Hydrogoo> I'm looking for some help with remote administration of Ubuntu, anyone able to help please?
[19:56] <Jordan_U> magicianlord: They refuse to provide specifications that would allow linux developers to write drivers.
[19:56] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: whats the problem ?
[19:56] <yop129> mongy, ok, yeah u'll see it works, because i installed the indicator and still didn't work, so i check the settings turned the feature on in alerts and it worked, so i'm like do i really need the indicator, i unistalled the indicator, restarted xchat and the notifications still work
[19:56] <sam-_-_> SageX, well i don't know of a book but depending on the game you may want to learn opengl?
[19:56] <nicolaus> wyn: i think so too because when i go in device manager i see that there is a region set on it and on this computer here when i check windows 7 is says no region selected but on the laptop with the problem it wont work
[19:57] <nicolaus> sam-_-_: I will try cleaning the drive also and see what happens
[19:57] <magicianlord> Jordan_U: should there be a law made that makes this required, for the sake of the free computing world?
[19:57] <SageX> sam-_-_,  yeah would you know where to start with OpenGl
[19:57] <Jordan_U> !ot | magicianlord
[19:57] <GaryD> yop129: you don't need the xchat-indicator for notifications. just if you want an icon in the panel.
[19:58] <sam-_-_> SageX, there are dozens of opengl tuts on the internet
[19:58] <yop129> GaryD, well that's odd because i don't have it yet i have the icon in the panel
[19:58] <SageX> thanks sam-_-_
[19:58] <Wyn> nicolaus: the reader on Windows and the reader on the laptop are not the same ones, if the reader on the laptop plats other cd's then it is not the lens,  try  sudo regionset and changing region and see if that helps
[19:58] <bx-gh> Can someone help me with this question?.... Why is it all linux, kernel, or linux kernel IRC channels sooo quiet
[19:59] <GaryD> yop129: hmmm
[19:59] <mongy> yop129, ok trying without.......
[19:59] <yop129> here
[19:59] <yop129> ill send u something
[19:59] <yop129> mongy,
[19:59] <expiation> is there a way to install wubi bigger than 30gb or to increase the size after?
[19:59] <bliss_> mongy: su vboxers -c "screen -dmS vboxwebsrv vboxwebsrv" with or without the quotes
[19:59] <sam-_-_> SageX, maybe libsdl.org might be interessting for you?
[19:59] <mongy> yop129, well I'll be......
[19:59] <yop129> mongy, worked right?
[19:59] <mongy> bliss_, I dont know, sorry.  try with and without, whatever works :)
[19:59] <GaryD> yop129: i see...the xchat-indicator allows xchat to integrate with the indicator-messages plugin
[20:00] <kirkous> i have problem in xubuntu with second dispay.. it does nothing :)
[20:00] <mongy> yeah
[20:00] <gizmobay> Is there a way to clear the bash shell command line quickly?
[20:00] <nicolaus> wyn: Ubuntu is not on the laptop i am trying to work on
[20:00] <yop129> GaryD, what's the indicator-messages plugin, like the top right notifications/
[20:00] <nicolaus> ok one more thing
[20:00] <SageX> sam-_-_,  got it their site is interesting
[20:00] <mongy> yop129, that explans why I was getting it even when I have xchat in focus.... it was using 2 notifications :)
[20:00] <nicolaus> how do i get ubuntu to run from a flash drive
[20:00] <itaylor57> gizmobay: ctrl U
[20:00] <nicolaus> ?
[20:01] <Wyn> nicolaus: UNETBootin
[20:01] <gizmobay> thanks
[20:01] <yop129> mongy, well, i fixed that problem for u without even intending to :P
[20:01] <GaryD> yop129: yep...the little envelope icon that allows you to control evolution, pidgin, gmailwatcher, and xchat...
[20:01] <Wyn> nicolaus: Windows 7 is not supported in this channel
[20:01] <yop129> GaryD, well see both mongy and i removed the indicator, but we still receive the notifications, so it's not that
[20:02] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: use putty http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe
[20:02] <sam-_-_> SageX, game programming on linux is not that different from windows. (if you use opengl) so tutorials for windows will help as well
[20:02] <nicolaus> yeh i kno
[20:02] <nicolaus> i want ubuntu on that computer
[20:02] <GaryD> yop129: the notificatoions come from notify-osd....
[20:02] <nicolaus> but it wont boot froma flashdrive dont kno why
[20:02] <kirkous> i have problem in xubuntu with second dispay.. it does nothing :) does anybody have an idea where is the problem?
[20:02] <nicolaus> it keeps asking me to mount it
[20:02] <mongy> yop129, well must be new in 2.8.8, it didnt do it in 2.8.6
[20:02] <Wyn> nicolaus: check the BIOS, make sure it can boot from usb's
[20:02] <SageX> thanks for the heads up sam-_-_
[20:02] <GaryD> nicolaus: check in the bios settings
[20:03] <gizmobay> One other question. When you have multiple shell tabs open, they don't share history until you reboot. For example, I type pwd on one shell I can't use the errors keys on the other shell to get the previous typed command. Is there a command or key stroke to sync up the history so to speak?
[20:03] <nicolaus> yeh it do that
[20:03] <UbuntuLily> What is the easiest way to backup a partition (No compression needed)
[20:03] <yop129> GaryD, hmm, control it how exactly i have the icon in the envelope thing and when i click on it, it gives me a network list
[20:03] <Wyn> gizmobay: no
[20:03] <nicolaus> it boots but when i click install ubuntu
[20:03] <gizmobay> okay thanks
[20:03] <sam-_-_> SageX, glad i could help a little
[20:03] <nicolaus> it ask me to mount it to a cd drive
[20:03] <UbuntuLily> I have my /home on its own partition and want to back it up before I reinstall ubunutu
[20:03] <GaryD> nicolaus: does the flash drive have the boot flag? is it bootable?
[20:04] <Wyn> nicolaus: really ? how did you put Ubuntu on the usb ?
[20:04] <BBrooks_> can someone help me capture network traffic and after lets say 30 mins, to overwrite the dump?
[20:04] <GaryD> nicolaus: how did you create the ubuntu flash drive?
[20:04] <nicolaus> i use a software called ultraiso
[20:04] <nicolaus> it as never failed me before
[20:04] <BBrooks_> is there a utility for that?
[20:04] <kirkous> i have problem in xubuntu with second dispay.. it does nothing :) does anybody have an idea where is the problem?
[20:04] <nicolaus> i use it for other operating systems so i kno it works
[20:04] <ardian> Hi I have a dual boot computer I re-installed windows in it now I don't see the grub menu it just boots into windows how do I acess my Ubuntu box ?
[20:04] <Wyn> nicolaus: dont know that one
[20:04] <GaryD> Wyn: quit typing so fast...or maybe i'll wait to see if you answer...lol
[20:05] <Wyn> GaryD: hah :D
[20:05] <Wyn> GaryD: all yours mate;)
[20:05] <mongy> UbuntuLily, personally I`d rsync -av . /media/backupdevice/
[20:06] <sam-_-_> UbuntuLily, sth. like this tar -cvzf ~/backup.tar.gz ~/
[20:06] <SageX> sam-_-_,  your help is greatly appreciated
[20:06] <Kompviro> hello
[20:06] <facepollution> Heya
[20:06] <sam-_-_> UbuntuLily, mongy rsync is great too
[20:06] <magicianlord> hello
[20:06] <GaryD> nicolaus: you need to download unetbootin, and use it....i can almost guarantee it will work. i wouldn't recommend using anything else...try it.
[20:06] <Kompviro> how are you guys doing today?
[20:07] <saykou> does any one use veetle
[20:07] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: so whats up with shorewall ?
[20:07] <nicolaus> garyd i sure will
[20:07] <sam-_-_> saykou, no is it any good?
[20:07] <mongy> sam-_-_,  yeah, actually would use the --delete option as well, personally.
[20:07] <pinche2643> Question: Anybody know of any ubuntu tools to notice a machine going down?
[20:07] <Hydrogoo> I've installed it and using a guide that I've found, but it isn't giving me the corect area where shorewall should be installed
[20:07] <GaryD> nicolaus: cool....let us know when you're on ubuntu
[20:08] <facepollution> Quick question for those more elite than I. I uninstalled something I should not have using apt in Hardy, and it uninstalled a bunch of important stuff that depended on it, like gedit. Is there a way to tell apt to automatically install all default Hardy packages by any chance?
[20:08] <magicianlord> facepollution: install 10.10
[20:08] <ardian> Hi I have a dual boot computer I re-installed windows in it now I don't see the grub menu it just boots into windows how do I acess my Ubuntu box ?
[20:08] <GaryD> facepollution: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[20:08] <saykou> sam-_-_, its a prog that enables you to see live stream from a website fairly used
[20:08] <sam-_-_> pinche2643, ping ?
[20:08] <yop129> GaryD, would u happen to know if there is a difference between notif-osd and libnotify-bin?
[20:09] <Montreal1> hi
[20:09] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: you mean you can not find the config files ? also do not remote install it if you can help it
[20:09] <pinche2643> sam - what do u mean ping?
[20:09] <Wyn> pinche2643: tradtional IRC attention request, ping answer pong
[20:09] <mongy> yop129, 1 sends and 1 displays
[20:09] <sam-_-_> saykou, yes i noticed. is it any good?
[20:10] <trism> yop129: libnotify-bin contains programs for sending messages to a notification daemon, such as notify-send, notify-osd is a special notification daemon (there are others)
[20:10] <facepollution> GaryD: Exactly what I needed. You're a lifesaver.
[20:10] <pinche2643> pong
[20:10] <trism> yop129: special = specific
[20:10] <saykou> sam-_-_ yes
[20:10] <mongy> yop129,  hmm, I wonder what notify-osd-icons look like
[20:10] <Montreal1> i have problem with my "liveticker news" on 945GC intel card...liveticker is running jerky...any tip what to change in my xorg.conf file?
[20:11] <sam-_-_> pinche2643 ping the machine. if it doesn't respond anymore it's down
[20:11] <yop129> trism, so i guess empathy and others use notify-osd because i don't have libnotify-bin installed right?
[20:11] <Wyn> sam-_-_: hah, not ping - pong then ? thats funny
[20:11] <mongy> yop129, well its 'optional'   so you dont need it
[20:11] <Sean93> how do i use wget to download from megaupload?
[20:11] <sam-_-_> saykou ok i might try it someday
[20:12] <pinche2643> sam, thanks. but I am looking for something more sophisticated. no pong means machine is down. i want a tool that tells me "hard drive is failing" or "fan is failing" or "memory blocks corrupted"
[20:12] <yop129> mongy, hmm, but apparently programs can send out notifications on their own then, they don't need libnotify-bin right?
[20:12] <trism> yop129: none of them actually use notify-osd, they use libnotify to send a notification, and notify-osd receives it (although they may depend on notify-osd, but that would be more of an ubuntu thing)
[20:12] <mongy> yop129, wonder if the notify-osd-icons would show the icon as well in the notification......cool if so
[20:12] <Hydrogoo> I installed shorewall locally and when following the guide I found via google, I cannot seem to find the config files
[20:12] <GaryD> yop129: i believe the difference is that libnotify-bin is a library used by some programs to send messages to the notification area, while notify-osd is a complete notification framework for programs that have the capability to talk through it.
[20:12] <saykou> sam-_-_ theres a problem with it ... i can't install and it seams its because of im using x86_x64 ubuntu
[20:12] <GaryD> facepollutioin: no prob
[20:13] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: you can't iirc, and the hacking required is more time consuming than using a browser, unless you have a account with direct access to the files
[20:13] <expiation> is there a way to install wubi bigger than 30gb or to increase the size after?
[20:13] <xangua> expiation: try a real install
[20:13] <trism> yop129: libnotify-bin just contains a command line program, notify-send, that lets you use libnotify from the command line, such at typing: notify-send "Message Title" "This is my notification"
[20:13] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: prob in /etc
[20:14] <sam-_-_> saykou, what's the error?
[20:14] <GaryD> trism: cool....thanks for clarifying. that is good to know.
[20:14] <Hydrogoo> I'm using the following guide http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/how-to-setup-a-dedicated-web-server-for-free/
[20:14] <saykou> i install the script and it wont work sam-_-_
[20:14] <yop129> trism, ohh alright, so it's for user use and scripts not what programs use to interact, weird that they have it as one of the options to install for xchat
[20:14] <Hydrogoo> Part 6 is the shorewall install
[20:15] <expiation> xangua i just want to try it for awhile before replacing :\
[20:15] <Sean93> how do i use wget to download from megaupload?
[20:15] <magicianlord> trism: what should be installed, xfce4notify, or python-notify
[20:15] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: i already answered that
[20:15] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: you can't iirc, and the hacking required is more time consuming than using a browser, unless you have a account with direct access to the files
[20:15] <sam-_-_> pinche2643, nagios might be for you
[20:15] <mohamed> hello guys how's going i missed u all
[20:16] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: ls /etc/sho  and press the tab key
[20:16] <mohamed> guys i need a serious help
[20:16] <sam-_-_> saykou i need more info. what do you do? and what doesn't work then
[20:16] <GaryD> xchat recommends libnotify because it can use it to send notifications. i bet if you didn't have libnotify the notifications wouldn't work.
[20:16] <sima> n #windows-ru
[20:16] <mohamed> i've got a prob here
[20:16] <Hydrogoo> @Wyn Got Shorewall dir
[20:17] <magicianlord> GaryD: then libnotify should be installed instead of xfce4-notify?
[20:17] <mohamed> sima can u help me
[20:17] <sam-_-_> !ask | mohamed
[20:17] <magicianlord> or perhaps notification daemon?
[20:17] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: what files cant you find ?
[20:17] <mohamed> thanks sam
[20:17] <mohamed> ok sorry for that ubottu
[20:18] <facepollution> GaryD: Worked like a charm. I have everything back now. Thanks again.
[20:18] <Wyn> mohamed: ubottu is a channel bot
[20:18] <mohamed> it's my lap top it's hanging i don't know why
[20:18] <mohamed> i know
[20:18] <magicianlord> what's the difference betwen libnotify and notification-daemon? should both be installed
[20:18] <mohamed> just apologize for u all
[20:18] <Wyn> mohamed: so your just really polite ? cool
[20:18] <Hydrogoo> Wyn: This dir should have some files that are needed to be copied to the shorewall folder /usr/share/doc/shorewall-common/examples/one-interface/*
[20:18] <Hydrogoo> Can't find this folder tho
[20:19] <trism> magicianlord: libnotify is used to send notifications, notification-daemon receives messages sent by libnotify
[20:19] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: version of ubuntu you are using please ?
[20:19] <mohamed> so how i can check my system on ubuntu10.10
[20:19] <saykou> sam-_-_, i tried to install the script the automaticly give you, and with all the permissions, and i load firefox again with that page and it says that i have to download again. im guessing and because im using x64 ... it dosent work for x64
[20:19] <magicianlord> trism: are both needed
[20:19] <Hydrogoo> 10.10 server
[20:19] <nirazio> I would like to purchase more memory for one of my computers. Is there a utility that will tell me what type of memory is installed in the machine?
[20:20] <trism> magicianlord: but we use notify-osd to receive notifications by default, so you probably don't need notification-daemon unless you want to try a different one
[20:20] <mohamed> sam u still there
[20:20] <greezmunkey> Sean93: I don't know if it will work, but wget supports ftp downloading. It also supports continuing a download that gets cut off. It uses this form from the manpage: wget -c ftp://sunsite.doc.ic.ac.uk/ls-lR.Z You'll have to tailor that to suit your needs (no pun intended)
[20:20] <sam-_-_> saykou go to about:plugins in you browser
[20:20] <itaylor57> nirazio: lshw
[20:20] <sam-_-_> saykou is veetle listed there=
[20:21] <GaryD> magicianlord: you should not need xfce4-notifyd unless you are on xubuntu. i am running lubuntu and all i have installed is notification-daemon. on ubuntu i would install notify-osd and there is a ppa with a program to customize notify-osd.
[20:21] <mohamed> any programmer here can help me ?
[20:21] <magicianlord> GaryD: do i need libnotify if i have notif-daemon installed
[20:21] <saykou> sam-_-_ nope
[20:22] <mohamed> is there any programmer here ?
[20:22] <GaryD> magicianlord: you will need libnotify for xchat to send on screen messages, yes.
[20:23] <mohamed> looks like there's no one
[20:23] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: cant find them on the file list, try ls /usr/share/doc/shorewall then tab and see if you can locate it then check the shorewall folders for the example folder or grep inside it
[20:23] <magicianlord> GaryD: what if i dont use xchat. what else uses libnotify
[20:23] <Wyn> mohamed: hanging how ?
[20:23] <mohamed> no more
[20:23] <mohamed> thanks
[20:23] <sam-_-_> saykou, do you use firefox?
[20:23] <mongy> GaryD,  it needed xchat-indicator in earlier versions of xchat (well for me anyway)...  just in case anyone is using older version
[20:24] <saykou> sam-_-_ yes
[20:24] <kirkmoreno> Can anyone recommend a free online storage website
[20:24] <mongy> U1
[20:25] <greezmunkey> magicianlord: I made that work with irssi, I found a script on the net to get started, and made it work for me. That os load is history now though, but it is possible.
[20:25] <mohamed> how can i changemy name in xchat ?
[20:25] <Hydrogoo> Wyn: Found the directories I need, they have changed since the release of that tutorial
[20:25] <Hydrogoo> Thanks for the help
[20:25] <Wyn> kirkmoreno ubuntu 1
[20:25] <Wyn> Hydrogoo: np
[20:25] <Bboy> thanks
[20:25] <sam-_-_> saykou, you may need to install the 32-bit version of firefox if veetle is a 32-bit plugin
[20:26] <saykou> sam-_-_ how does one do that'
[20:26] <saykou> ?
[20:26] <Agent090> what kind of linux is the best ever ?
[20:26] <magicianlord> greezmunkey: i just want plug in and out plugging usb notifications and battery
[20:26] <magicianlord> in openbox
[20:26] <Wyn> Agent090: is that a trick qeustion ?
[20:26] <Agent090> u know ?
[20:26] <Friar> I was looking at installing the amazon mp3 downloader. they have a .deb for ubuntu 9.04 and it is 32 bit. is there a way I can at least try to install it on 64 bit and 10.10?
[20:26] <GaryD> magicianlord: things like the vlc-plugin-notify, osmo, evolution, empathy, nautilus, rhythmbox, gnome-mplayer, as wewll as many other programs and libraries.
[20:26] <Wyn> Agent090: do you know what channel your in mohamed ?
[20:27] <Agent090> no
[20:27] <Gnimsh> Hey #ubuntu
[20:27] <Friar> when I try to install it I get an error saying it is 32 bit and it won't go any farther in the install process.
[20:27] <Wyn> Agent090: #Ubuntu
[20:27]  * Wyn facepalm to the troll
[20:27] <greezmunkey> magicianlord: I don't know about openbox, sorry.
[20:27] <Agent090> channerl means ....?
[20:27] <Gnimsh> I have a strange video issue with ubuntu 10.10 where the screen is...jumpy or staticky, I guess, upon startup
[20:27] <GaryD> magicianlord: what file manager are you using?
[20:27]  * Wyn note to self, dont feed the troll
[20:28] <GaryD> magicianlord: also, i assume you aren't running straight ubuntu?
[20:28] <ZykoticK9> Friar, try "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture PACKAGE.DEB" to install 32bit on 64bit OS
[20:28] <ZykoticK9> Friar, be sure you have ia32libs install as well
[20:29] <Friar> ZykoticK9, will that automatically look for the .deb in my file system? or do I need to put the .deb somewhere in particular for this to work?
[20:29] <ZykoticK9> Friar, you need to be in the same directory OR give the full path to the DEB
[20:29] <sam-_-_> saykou, like ZykoticK9 says
[20:30] <sam-_-_> saykou "sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture PACKAGE.DEB"
[20:30] <saykou> sam-_-_ will try

[20:35] <GaryD> lennovo: this channel is for ubuntu.....check the #python channel....also search google.
[20:35] <magicianlord> GaryD: what
[20:35] <BluesKaj> lenovo, maybe the #python chat might be closer to your needs
[20:35] <lenovo> thanks grayd
[20:35] <Wyn> lenovo: there are user groups in Egypt, this is not a python channel
[20:35] <Pici> lenovo: you'll need to register to join there though.
[20:35] <Pici> !register > lenovo
[20:36] <GaryD> weren't you asking about libnotify?
[20:36] <Friar> ZykoticK9, when I try that I get all kinds of error messages about missing backages.
[20:36] <sam-_-_> Wyn lol egypt. bc. his name was mohamed?
[20:36] <GaryD> magicianlord: weren't you asking about libnotify? or did you get it figured out?
[20:36] <Wyn> sam-_-_: na, I NMaped his ass
[20:36] <sam-_-_> Wyn ah
[20:37] <magicianlord> GaryD: do i need both
[20:37] <ZykoticK9> Friar, the real issue is those are probably 32bit libs that it's looking for!  on ubuntu forum search for getlibs and download the script to install 32bit libraries - best of luck man.
[20:38] <Friar> ZykoticK9, thanks for the help. I appreciate it.
[20:38] <Friar> could I use a .deb for a newer version of debian?
[20:38] <GaryD> magicianlord: at the least you will need notification-daemon and libnotify
[20:39] <magicianlord> ok
[20:39] <magicianlord> i have notif dem without libnot, and usb and power worked. but now, maybe they will work better
[20:39] <enekotxo> #ubuntu-es

[20:44] <sam-_-_> st0rmBlast yes

[20:44] <sam-_-_> try sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[20:45] <stOrmBlast> thats awsome :D
[20:45] <Wyn> stOrmBlast: both from package manager and from people who make it, recomend using people who make it as it has usb support
[20:45] <saykou> sam-_-_ it gives some erros can you help?
[20:45] <sam-_-_> saykou dependency errors?
[20:46] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : and if i want to run windows its posible 2 ?
[20:46] <sam-_-_> st0rmBlast yes
[20:47] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast yes
[20:47] <saykou> sam-_-_ yes
[20:47] <KM0201> does Vbox-ose support USB now?  i know it didn't used to, thats why i always used the "non-free" one from the vbox repository
[20:47] <sam-_-_> saykou you will need to install all of them first
[20:48] <saykou> what all of them like download all ?
[20:48] <stOrmBlast> ok sam-_-_ : its installing now
[20:48] <saykou> but i think i was the correct package sam-_-_
[20:48] <Wyn> KM0201: i use the non free direct repo as well for that reason
[20:49] <KM0201> Wyn: i was just wondering if that changed in Vbox-OSE... doesn't sound like it
[20:49] <sam-_-_> saykou all the packages firefox 32bit depends on
[20:49] <KM0201> i don't mind licensing agreements.
[20:49] <saykou> ok sam-_-_
[20:49] <gumdrop> ok i am working on getting my iSight to work on my macbook 3.1  I have my machine set up as single-boot for ubuntu.  I just downloaded the isight firmware tools package online.  What should i do now?
[20:50] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : did i neet another thing to install windows in virtualbox ?
[20:50] <Wyn> KM0201: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads  it supports USB
[20:50] <KM0201> stOrmBlast: a windows cd
[20:50] <Wyn> KM0201: lol
[20:50] <stOrmBlast> pmsl
[20:51] <KM0201> Wyn: i know that oes... i'm talking about OSE edition.
[20:51] <KM0201> i have the "Non-Free" edition, it works great w/ USB
[20:51] <stOrmBlast> pls take a look : * No suitable module for running kernel found [fail] -----> its that normally?
[20:51] <Wyn> KM0201: na, only vb /sun direct rocks de usb
[20:52] <Wyn> KM0201: bit of a fail really
[20:52] <KM0201> yeah
[20:52] <sam-_-_> Wyn, you mean oracle ;-(
[20:52] <stOrmBlast> its normal ?
[20:52] <Wyn> sam-_-_: :D indeed
[20:52] <sam-_-_> did install virtualbox-ose-dkms
[20:52] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast, did install virtualbox-ose-dkms
[20:53] <KM0201> what does dkms stand for?
[20:53] <stOrmBlast> nope !
[20:53] <KM0201> stOrmBlast: why don't you just add the repository from virtualbox.org and install the non-free version?
[20:53] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast, then install it as well sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-dkms
[20:53] <stOrmBlast> sam i do this: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[20:53] <Wyn> KM0201: kernel modules
[20:53] <Pici> !dkms | KM0201
[20:53] <KM0201> oh ok.
[20:53] <saykou> sam-_-_ i may seeam a noobie, or something but how do i know from all that list witch ones are and are not
[20:54] <sam-_-_> saykou, don't be afraid to ask. asking is learning. learning is good :-)
[20:54] <sam-_-_> saykou, what list?
[20:54] <gumdrop>  ok i am working on getting my iSight to work on my macbook 3.1  I have my machine set up as single-boot for ubuntu.  I just downloaded the isight firmware tools package online.  What should i do now?
[20:54] <stOrmBlast> KM0201 : i dont know how to do this
[20:54] <Wyn> KM0201: he needs to install vb first
[20:55] <saykou> sam-_- http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/
[20:55] <saykou> sam-_-_ http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/
[20:55] <CroxPuma> hi everyone
[20:55] <KM0201> stOrmBlast: just stay w/ sam.. i'm not gonna confuse you by telling you to do other stuff, but the instructions to do this, are right on their website
[20:55] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast KM201 might be right. may be better to use the none free version
[20:55] <Wyn> gumdrop: V4L2 ?
[20:55] <Wyn> sam-_-_: USB is rather useful
[20:56] <KM0201> lol.. kind of
[20:56] <gumdrop> I think so
[20:56] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : and how i do that ?
[20:56] <KM0201> stOrmBlast: go to virtualbox.org
[20:56] <izinucs> sam-_-_: stOrmBlast might also need build-essential for the install of the pul version of vbox to do the kernel mod correctly (along with dkms)
[20:56] <sima> .ощшт #debian-russian
[20:56] <KM0201> why does he need the kernel mod?
[20:57] <izinucs> KM0201: I thought vbox pul version has a kernel mod for the non-free stuff that it contains.
[20:57] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[20:57] <Wyn> KM0201: vb needs some kernel mods for virtulization, should come with install, not sure why he tried to install them sepratly
[20:58] <KM0201> Wyn: i see... is this only required on the OSE install? cuz i didn't do that, i just installed it, and i run XP as a guest just fine
[20:58] <Wyn> KM0201: chances are it put them in for you
[20:58] <KM0201> Wyn: i guess... i just followed the instructions on virtualbox.org
[20:58] <Wyn> KM0201: should not need to install them separately
[20:58] <Wyn> KM0201:  same here
[20:59] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : did i need to remove vb, to instal the new one ?
[20:59] <KM0201> Wyn: i dunno, i guess not.. all i know is it gives me an easy way to sync my zune w/o needing to dual boot.
[20:59] <sam-_-_> saykou 	firefox_3.6.13+build3+nobinonly-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>_i386.deb
[20:59] <Wyn> KM0201: whats a ZUne ?
[20:59] <KM0201> Microsofts version of an Ipod.
[20:59] <sam-_-_> saykou, http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/firefox
[20:59] <sam-_-_> saykou, here you can find the dependencies
[21:00] <sam-_-_> stOrmBlast, no but you can. you don't need it anymore
[21:00] <civilordergone> hey does anyone know why when i load jnlp files it pops up a black screen
[21:00] <saykou> sam-_-_ thanks a bunch
[21:00] <gumdrop> sorry i PMed you Wyn.  I wasnt trying to be rude
[21:01] <Wyn> gumdrop: no problem http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225621
[21:01] <gumdrop> it's confusing to discuss issues with how busy the main chat room is
[21:01] <stOrmBlast> sam-_-_ : ok tkx for helping , and other guys 2 =]
[21:01] <Wyn> gumdrop: old but prob still valid
[21:01] <Wyn> gumdrop: understood, this way people can chip in with advice
[21:01] <nirazio> I'm looking for a way to reboot into Windows from Ubuntu on a 10.10/Vista dual boot system. The specific use case is that I would like to be able to ssh into my running Ubuntu instance and issue a command that will initiate a reboot directly into Windows.
[21:02] <izinucs> gumdrop: y0ou have to use nicks at the beginning of each post for who you're talking to so the line will highlight on the receiving end.. if they don't use your nick then ask them too.. and you'll see the highlight and know they are talking to you directly
[21:03] <Wyn> nirazio: edit your grub.conf file so windows is at the top of the boot list
[21:03] <aeon-ltd> nirazio: heh, i don't think thats directly possible, but how about this - a script that will rewrite grubs boot order to reverse ubuntu and windows (or just swap between 2 configs) then a reboot should just choose windows
[21:03] <sam-_-_> saykou, this might be interessting for you http://www.unixtutorial.org/2008/03/install-32-bit-deb-packages-on-64-bit/
[21:04] <izinucs> nirazio: if you copy the windows grub boot line to the top of the list in the grub menu then on each boot windows will be the default load.. if you're in ubuntu and ssh into it then.. sudo reboot now .. should reboot the machine into the first item in the grub list.
[21:04] <mohamed> how i can change the chatroom
[21:05] <izinucs> mohamed: if you want to join a different room then.. /join #<room name>
[21:05] <frxstrem> is there a program that could go through each line in a file and count how many times that line occours, and then print the results?
[21:05] <mohamed> where i write this stat
[21:05] <izinucs> mohamed: where you normally type to post here.. :)
[21:05] <aeon-ltd> mohamed: to change channels depends on your irc client
[21:05] <mohamed> copy that
[21:05] <mohamed> what's the icr
[21:06] <izinucs> you're in IRC "Internet Relay Chat"
[21:06] <saykou> sam-_-_ interesting enough lol
[21:06] <sam-_-_> mohamed write /join #chatroom
[21:06] <s2> hic

[21:07] <izinucs> caps shouldn't be necessary thought
[21:07] <mohamed> can we be friends ?
[21:07] <Wyn> izinucs: good point, on XChat they are, on others not
[21:07] <expiation> so i guess it isn't possible to install wubi bigger than 30gb?
[21:08] <rocket16> I don't see the encryption option in nautilus right-click menu in maverick. :( How to get it back?

[21:09] <expiation> aeon-ltd i just want to try it but wow alone is 28 gigz
[21:09] <sam-_-_> igors, i think you need to hold down shift when powering up.
[21:09] <Wyn> izinucs: yeah, I only use it on my Laptop gui
[21:09] <frxstrem> itaylor57: no, I meant like it would go through every single line (not only a subset of lines) and count how many times that line occoured
[21:09] <sam-_-_> igors, then select boot device
[21:09] <rocket16> igors: Download UNetbootin and use the image to make an installer (live image) of ubuntu in your usb.
[21:09] <aeon-ltd> expiation: wow = world of warcraft? seriously?
[21:09] <frxstrem> ...and then print a list of all the lines and how many times it occoured
[21:09] <igors> sam-_-_: hum, didn't try shift yet..
[21:09] <saykou> sam-_-_ how do you know so much about linux?
[21:09] <mohamed> i  copy that but i'm still here
[21:09] <expiation> aeon-ltd indeed
[21:09] <izinucs> Wyn: I find Quassel works as well as xchat.. if you don't mind a kde client :)

[21:10] <itaylor57> frxstrem: I have no idea what you are trying to do sorry
[21:10] <igors> rocket16: i followed the instructions from ubuntu download page on how to create the image for usb
[21:10] <sam-_-_> saykou, trust me. i don't
[21:10] <Wyn> izinucs: hah, I havd sevral clients but I kinda like XChat, if it aint broke dont fix it ;)
[21:10] <mongy> aint nothing wrong with xchat.
[21:11] <saykou> sam-_-_ you don't? compared with who?
[21:11] <frxstrem> itaylor57: well, I have a file with about 190 000 lines, and I want to find out which lines are most commonly occouring
[21:11] <izinucs> Wyn: yep.. I run kde on the desktop and gnome on the lappies.. so I'm always switching around.. as long as I can see what's going on and respond I'm good :)
[21:11] <r00t4rd3d> xchat ftw
[21:11] <Wyn> heck yeah
[21:12] <Wyn> izinucs: I tried KDE a while back, the desktop layout with no actaul desktop and in/out focus folders anoys me
[21:12] <sam-_-_> saykou, compared with other geeks like me
[21:13] <mohamed> gimme a hand
[21:13] <itaylor57> frxstrem: I could do that is perl, but I am not aware of a script/app that would do that standalone
[21:13] <mohamed> i've wrote what u saied but i didn't go to python room what's wrong
[21:13] <Wyn> mohamed: Google

[21:21] <industry__> network rejoined?
[21:21] <Wyn> try clicking on network, open a floder and click on it it should show up uni net
[21:21] <KM0201> !netsplit

[21:21] <saykou> sam-_-_ that maybe a prob of the channel
[21:21] <saykou> sam-_-_ try change to another
[21:21] <hansw> dear all, could anyone tell me about the chances of running a terratec cinergy t stick out of the box on 10.10?
[21:21] <sam-_-_> saykou, tried 2. will try another one
[21:21] <nyu> soo, anyone want to help with my grub issue?
[21:21] <sayres> mongy: Aside from this not another way?:-X
[21:22] <rocket16> Hey guys, nautilus's right-menu encrypt menu doesn't appear, even though I have seahorse and gnupg installed. Any help?
[21:22] <Wyn> hansw: http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/terratec.html
[21:22] <sam-_-_> saykou, no didn't help
[21:23] <saykou> sam-_-_ it works good in windows
[21:23] <hansw> Wyn, thanx, will take a look
[21:23] <Wyn> nyu: what issue ?
[21:23] <Wyn> hansw: no prob but also no offical support
[21:23] <hansw> Wyn, no problem, used to compile my own kernels
[21:23] <ryno1> Does anyone know how to allow media sharing on Ubuntu?
[21:23] <Wyn> hansw: cool
[21:24] <nyu> wyn: grub is fraked, just boots up to a screen saying the drive isnt found and a grub rescue prompt
[21:24] <Wyn> ryno1: setup smb to the media folder ?
[21:24] <hansw> Wyn, mostly nasty :-) I wanted usb support years back, ac patches provided them
[21:24] <mongy> sayres, not that I know of.......if you dont want panels, then it would be logical to just remove the package
[21:24] <Wyn> hansw: hah, the bad old days
[21:24] <Wyn> mongy: that would be not good :D
[21:25] <nyu> wyn: i tried reinstalling ubuntu and running rescatux, no dice
[21:25] <mongy> Wyn, why?  he doesnt want panels.  it doesnt remove anything critical
[21:25] <Wyn> nyu: when you boot to grub boot screen try editing the boot line and adjusting the drive, it could be it is not mounting, its not connected / hardware problem or it has the wrong path / name
[21:26] <mongy> sayres,  try just setting it to autohide if you dont want to remove it
[21:26] <Wyn> nyu: if you have a live disk use that to chck the correct grub config
[21:26] <ryno1> Wyn: Will this work with PS3?
[21:26] <sayres>  mongy:  tanks
[21:26] <Wyn> ryno1: will what work with what ?
[21:27] <jabbadaza> why cant i run a script having iptables in it ?IPT=/sbin/iptables says command not found. altho the location is correct. the script is 755 and run with sudo.
[21:27] <nyu> wyn: i can boot the drive with super grub disk. im not sure what i need to change in the grub config or how to do so
[21:27] <Wyn> mongy: the panels are useful, they also run the network manager icon, if he has a gui he will realise just how much he needs them if not then yes, remove them and x
[21:28] <Wyn> nyu: if you have a live disk, when you boot into it you can then check the drive path and name by cat'ing fstab
[21:28] <ryno1> Wyn: I want to access my computer's media through my PS3
[21:28] <mongy> Wyn, he/she does not want any panels... go figure.
[21:28] <Wyn> ryno1: mediatomb
[21:29] <Wyn> ryno1: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/stream-media-from-ubuntu-to-your-ps3/
[21:29] <Wyn> mongy: each to there own I guess
[21:29] <mongy> Wyn, in linux that happens a lot :)
[21:30] <sam-_-_> saykou, seems like a known problem. but there is an easy fix in the forums
[21:30] <Wyn> mongy: yeah, then a few days later how do I re-install etc
[21:30] <saykou> sam-_-_ you already found a fix for that
