[09:37] <aaron11> lfrlrofr
[09:37] <aaron11> hi
[09:37] <Noobuntu> So check it out right! tryin to run Ubuntu 9.04 but it doesnt recognize my SATA drive. Can Anybody Help?
[09:37] <ubunuser1979> i cut my old ones up
[09:39] <FieKrIE> hyyyyyy
[09:39] <Noobuntu> uh hello
[09:43] <Noobuntu> QUESTION.....cant get my SATA and Ubuntu to coop with eachother. Why?
[09:44] <MikeSeth> Noobuntu:  http://tr.im/xeQp
[09:44] <sayanriju> Noobuntu, does your drive work with other operating systems?
[09:44] <Noobuntu> Im tellin my SATA "Its all good homie just let'em in its straight. But hes all like "maaan i dont know..."
 :P
[09:45] <Noobuntu> sayan: yes windows XP running that now
[09:46] <sayanriju> Noobuntu, is it an external disk or internal?
[09:46] <MikeSeth> sayanriju: damn right
[09:46] <sayanriju> and how do you know that "it doesnt recognize my SATA drive"?
[09:46] <Noobuntu> sayan: internal
[09:47] <sayanriju> Noobuntu, you trying to _install_ ubuntu on it?
[09:47] <Noobuntu> becuz during the installation it didnt give me that one as an option to partition and proceed
[09:48] <Noobuntu> yes trying to install 9.04 on it
[09:48] <sayanriju> any other disks connected? If yes, try to remove them, and keep only that one.
[09:48] <indus> Noobuntu: seagate disk?
[09:48] <innomen> lsbrum, said unknown symbol in module (and my jump drive died yay)
[09:50] <sayanriju> Noobuntu, while on the live CD, check o/p of sudo fdisk -l
[09:52] <roshan> Hi, everyone, I'm trying to mirror the Ubuntu amd64 repositories. I want to download the repositories and then transfer them as they are to another computer which will host them. I don't want to host them on the same computer as I'm downloading them on.
[09:52] <roshan> I know of apt-mirror, debmirror and using rsync to mirror but I don't know which is the best for what I want to do.
[09:52] <roshan> Any suggestions?
[09:53] <sayanriju> roshan, depends on your purpose
[09:53] <Noobuntu> whoa sayan ya going to fast for my nooby brain to keep up ..lol but yea i went thru this whole ordeal with partitioning my xtrnl and I jsut got it back the way i want it. but while running the live CD i went thru the process again with my xtrnl off and on the step where you choose what drive no drives come up.
[09:53] <gammy> I would like to know why the c64 kernal rom is not included in the vice package. Is it due to a *lack of a license* ? I cant' find any information about this.
[09:54] <roshan> I intend to host these on a computer on my college LAN. However, the Internet access we have there is terribly slow so I have to go to an Internet café to do this. This is why I need to download them on one computer and host them on another.
[09:55] <roshan> I don't intend to mirror security, updates or backports
[09:55] <sayanriju> roshan, so you are looking for a sort of local repository for your LAN?
[09:55] <roshan> Yes, sayan
[09:56] <zophy> this ubuntu sweaty virgin distro really rocks
[09:56] <sayanriju> roshan, so rsync is not really what you'd be wanting
[09:56] <Noobuntu> did I lose you sayan? lol
[09:57] <roshan> Yes, I got that far but no farther.
[09:57] <jacquesdupontd> hi guys
[09:57] <Pythack> Hello jacquesdupontd.
[09:57] <jon_y_> hey, anybody have experience with cpudynd?
[09:57] <jacquesdupontd> i wanted to ask you if you would any software for making contact cards
[09:58] <jacquesdupontd> same size as credit cards
[09:58] <jon_y_> jacquesdupontd: inkscape?
[09:58] <CQ_> hello, I just ran blender, and lt looks very crappy, showing artefacts from the desktop, background, etc. ... any ideas? Other X server , ...?
[09:58] <jacquesdupontd> hehe
[09:58] <jacquesdupontd> i just downloaded it
[09:58] <sayanriju> Noobuntu, boot the live CD with just the disk u want connected, check o/p of fidsk and then fire up the installer
[09:58] <jacquesdupontd> but i have to relearn it all :(
[09:58] <GilJ> Meh, I can't use my keyboard in the alternate installer either :/
[09:59] <Ornita> hi mafinar :)
[09:59] <mafinar> hey Ornita
[09:59] <sayanriju> roshan, what /me'd do in such a situation is pull down all the packages from net on the cafe, carry them over to the college computer) and create a local repository from it
[09:59] <Ornita> roza korchen mafinar?
[10:00] <Pythack> Hello Ornita.
[10:00] <Ornita> Pythack hi
[10:00] <mafinar> na Ornita
[10:00] <Ornita> keno korchen na
[10:01] <Ornita> office korchen tai?
[10:01] <sayanriju> roshan, the only downside is the local repository won't really offer up-to-date updates like the official mirrors, but since ur college net is bad anyway, /me don't think that will be a problem
[10:01] <mafinar> Ornita i don't believe in those things!
[10:01] <GilJ> DJones Nop, alternate installer didn't fix it
[10:01] <Ornita> i forgot u dont believe in GOD
[10:01] <mafinar> no Ornita
[10:01] <Ornita> no higher bein for u
[10:01] <Ornita> lol
[10:02] <Flannel> Ornita: Please stop being offtopic, thanks
[10:02] <azlon> i am trying to setup a raid an the tutorial told me to run "sudo mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf" but when i do i get "bash: /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf: Permission denied"... what should i do?
[10:02] <Ornita> Flannel do i have to tok abt ubunutu only?
[10:02] <roshan> sayanriju: This is the part I'm unsure about. I was wondering which of apt-mirror and debmirror to use since all documentation I can find regarding both dates back to 2006-7.
[10:03] <mafinar> read the guidelines Ornita
[10:03] <mafinar> :P
[10:03] <roshan> azlon: You can try switching to interactive mode in sudo by doing `sudo -i`
[10:03] <Ornita> mafinar i got a warning :~(
[10:03] <roshan> azlon: and then running `mdadm --detail --scan >> /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf`
[10:03] <Ornita> i jess came here
[10:03] <sayanriju> roshan, none of apt-mirror or debmirror will suit the purpose if you decide to follow my idea of creating a local repo
[10:03] <Ornita> i dont noe ny guide linez :@
[10:03] <NeXstaR> how do one install tar.gz files ?
[10:03] <roshan> sayanriju: I see, then how do I ensure I only download amd64 packages?
[10:03] <FieKrIE> can i meet female here?
[10:04] <Flannel> Ornita: Yes
[10:04] <Flannel> FieKrIE: No.  This channel is for Ubuntu support, not socializing.
[10:04] <azlon> roshan, that worked, thanks
[10:04] <Ornita> Flannel dats soo boorrin!
[10:04] <Ornita> Flannel how do u live here :P
[10:04] <roshan> azlon: No problem
[10:04] <Flannel> Ornita: Please take it elsewhere
[10:04] <irc_irc> is it possible to install ubuntu from 4gB pendrive, ? how to partition to 1GB and use unetbootin?
[10:05] <Ornita> mafinar pocha lok uni!
[10:05] <indus> lol
[10:05] <Ornita> hmph!
[10:05] <sayanriju> roshan, u can use any of those tools (including rsync) to just pull down the packages...but for the rest of the process none of them would be of much help
[10:05] <Ornita> mafinar u der?
[10:05] <mafinar> yup
[10:06] <indus> stay on topic or be kicked
[10:06] <indus> but i like the name ornita if its female
[10:06] <FieKrIE> hyyy flannel can i know you?
[10:06] <roshan> sayanriju: I see. Do you know of an existing script to simplify downloading all packages of a particular architecture?
[10:06] <Ornita> indus im female :)
[10:06] <szczym> helo, could you please tell me what i could do (im not a programer) to move forward Bug #263442 ?
[10:06] <Ornita> indus i wanna install ubunutu :)
[10:07] <indus> Ornita: ok
[10:07] <Ornita> but my pc is old!
[10:07] <indus> Ornita: do u have the cd with u ?
[10:07] <Ornita> nope
[10:07] <sayanriju> roshan, why not create your own? Shouldn't be much hard, using wget+sed :P
[10:07] <mafinar> brb..
[10:07] <indus> Ornita: for older pc's u should download xubuntu
[10:07] <Flannel> roshan: all of the packages?  You want to look into setting up a mirror
[10:07] <Ornita> my pc is 2.4ghz wid 512 ram indus
[10:07] <irc_irc> is it possible to install ubuntu from 4gB pendrive, ? how to partition to 1GB and use unetbootin?
[10:08] <Ornita> hmm
[10:08] <roshan> sayanriju: :) I could try that but considering I have no idea how to use sed, it would require me to learn quite a bit just to do one task.
[10:08] <indus> Ornita: ok 512 mb ram then normal ubuntu will install but it will be little slow
[10:08] <szczym> irc_irc: what for do you need to partition
[10:08] <irc_irc> how to partition a 4GB pendrive to install ubuntu?
[10:08] <Ornita> indus >.<
[10:08] <Flannel> irc_irc: You want to install to the USB drive? or install from it?
[10:08] <sayanriju> roshan, then just use apt-mirror to download the packages on your cafe machine. You can worry about the rest of process later
[10:08] <irc_irc> szczym: i want to keep data in 3gb and in 1gb to ubuntu unetbootin
[10:08] <soulchild> irc_irc: install ubuntu on that pendrive ?

[10:09] <DJones> !usb | irc_irc
[10:09] <Flannel> FieKrIE: No.  This is a support channel, not a chat channel.
[10:09] <soulchild> Flannel: just talk with everybody
[10:09] <sayanriju> roshan, as it is, the rest (creating a local repo) is not very difficult
[10:09] <Ornita> indus xp is fast ..how com ubuntu will be slower on 512!
[10:09] <Ornita> hmph!
[10:09] <Ornita> i dont get it
[10:09] <roshan> Flannel: You're right, that is what I want to do.
[10:09] <indus> !download > Ornita please read this
[10:09] <Flannel> Ornita: You'll be fine with 512 and Ubuntu
[10:09] <roshan> sayanriju: I can just move over the repository files once it downloads?
[10:09] <Ornita> yay!
[10:09] <Ornita> Flannel lykz me :P
[10:09] <indus> Ornita: ya i said slower than with 1 gb

[10:10] <irc_irc> Flannel: soulchild: szczym: i want t to install ubuntu from 4gb pendrive, but i do not want to waste 3gb space from pendrive , i want to use only 1Gb from pendrive for unetbootin . is it possible ?
[10:10] <Ornita> i will download it n give it a try
[10:10] <indus> ok good lucks
[10:10] <sayanriju> roshan, yes, but make sure it downloads ALL the packages (don't interrupt it midway e.g)
[10:10] <Ornita> indus if it doesnt work! i will come n kill u :P
[10:10] <indus> Ornita: kill Flannel
[10:10] <Ornita> ohh yea!
[10:10] <DJones> Ornita: I use standard ubuntu on all my home machines, none of them have more than 512Mb of ram, it runs fine and no slower than on my work machine with 1gb ram
[10:10] <roshan> sayanriju: Very well, sayanriju. Thank you. I will use apt-mirror.
[10:11] <jon_y_> hey, I was able to use cpudyn to scale down 3 of 4 cpu frequency, the other just stays there even if I use powersave governor
[10:11] <Ornita> DJones thanks!!

[10:11] <szczym> irc_irc: check out http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[10:11] <indus> Ornita: yes it does
[10:11] <Ornita> cool!
[10:11] <indus> Ornita: it will ask you to download codec necessary to play it
[10:12] <sayanriju> roshan, and in case you need help creating the local mirror, u can see my blog post at http://blog.sayanriju.co.cc/2009/07/31/using-a-local-ubuntu-repository-to-avoid-redownloading-packages-on-a-reinstall/ (shameless self advertising :)
[10:12] <FieKrIE> whats the topic..........????????
[10:12] <MadGirl> it has been said that the topic is there ^^^^
[10:12] <Ornita> indus dats cute!
[10:12] <indus> Ornita: for any type of non - free format
[10:12] <azlon> if i add "/dev/md0 /media/raid ntfs defaults 0 2" to my /etc/fstab file, will my raid automatically mount when i log in?
[10:12] <WinZ> Hi! How to fix the look of the file path in such case: http://i30.tinypic.com/ouprt2.jpg ? Is it because of Samba encoding parameters??
[10:12] <Flannel> irc_irc: new (since 8.04) Ubuntu's have a utility to set up a thumbdrive install thing, that's the easiest way to do it, just a few clicks.
[10:12] <Ornita> mafinar u der
[10:12] <indus> FieKrIE: this is ubuntu support channel, what question do you have?
[10:13] <roshan> sayanriju: What a useful coincidence that you posted on just that! Bookmarked for later.
[10:13] <roshan> Thanks.
[10:13] <irc_irc> Flannel: how to do it?
[10:13] <FieKrIE> indus: can i have ubuntu?
[10:14] <indus> FieKrIE: if you want
[10:14] <Flannel> irc_irc: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/ubuntu-810-install-using-the-built-in-usb-installer/
[10:14] <Flannel> irc_irc: That'll work for other versions too, it hasn't changed much, if any.
[10:14] <indus> u mean pen drive installation?
[10:14] <CIOCCOLATINO> buon giorno
[10:14] <CIOCCOLATINO> !list

[10:17] <Flannel> !ubuntu | FieKrIE
[10:17] <WinZ> how to fix the look of the file path in such case: http://i30.tinypic.com/ouprt2.jpg ? Is it because of Samba encoding parameters? Anyone? Please

[10:17] <indus> and last chance too probably
[10:18] <FieKrIE> thanks all, sory
[10:21] <FieKrIE> Flannel: jancok!

[10:25] <pyrohotdog> Fresh install of 9.04 will not respond to pings, but has working connection to LAN & WAN. If I SSH from it to another machine, that machine can ping it...
[10:26] <irc_irc> Flannel: thank you
[10:26] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:26] <szczym> Any of you have keyboard with multimedia keys (play, stop, mute ect.) ? Could you please test if it works with vlc media player and then comment the bug #419795
[10:27] <indus> ActionParsnip: Hi
[10:27] <Flannel> szczym: #ubuntu-bugs is the place for that, not here.  Thanks.
[10:27] <roflparrot> szczym,  okie dokie
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> szczym: which version of vlc?
[10:27] <ActionParsnip> ;)
[10:28] <NewBiew> my friend own a domain and want temporarly pointing to my vps ip. i have told him to use a name in his domain manager and point it to my vps ip, without changing the dns of his domain name. how to set that A RECORDS in ubuntu hardy ???
[10:28] <indus> szczym: it works for me
[10:28] <szczym> ActionParsnip: the default one from ubuntu repository of your version
[10:29] <Alexia> szczym, can you please post the direct link to the bug page?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> szczym: ok just clarifying it for people. I dont use multimedia keys
[10:29] <azlon> i am trying to access a samba share from a Windows machine, but it keeps asking for user and pass. i enter my linux user/pass and it doesnt work. when i enter root and the pass it works. how can i access a samba share with a regular user/pass?
[10:29] <irc_irc> Flannel: if i increase the slide in usb creator what will it do ? i have data in my 4gb pendrive
[10:29] <szczym> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlc/+bug/419795
[10:29] <ziroday> NewBiew: you will have to do that through there domains administration page. Alternatively he himself can modify his /etc/hosts file which will affect just his computer
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> azlon: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER
[10:29] <indus> irc_irc: are you creating a bootable usb?
[10:29] <ActionParsnip> azlon: type your password to authenticate sudo, then the same pass for the samba passwords
[10:29] <azlon> ActionParsnip, do i replace $USER with a username or do i type exactly $USER/
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> azlon: no need to replace it, $USER is the current user
[10:30] <irc_irc> indus: yes
[10:30] <grawity> azlon: it will result in the same thing anyway.
[10:30] <indus> irc_irc: i suggest you try unetbootin, usbcreator is buggy
[10:30] <NewBiew> ziroday: could you gave me a tutor about this? a link perhaps ?
[10:30] <azlon> ActionParsnip, can i set a different password? like, enter my sudo pass, then enter a different password which will be required when accessing the share?
[10:30] <b3rz3rk3r> anyone else with 64bit jaunty having their sound die on them randomly? Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. ideas?
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> azlon: its just means linux can use that instead of having to work out the active user, makes life tonnes easier
[10:31] <indus> irc_irc: but i remember flannel giving you the link to pendrive linux, which is different from creating a bootable usb
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> azlon: sure, ive never used a different pass for it. if it doesnt work, use the same password
[10:31] <Flannel> irc_irc: I'm not entirely sure.  Can you back up the data temporarily just in case?
[10:31] <azlon> ActionParsnip, thanks
[10:31] <szczym> indus Alexia roflparrot: lets meet on ubuntu-bugs to test it
[10:31] <FieKrIE> Flannel, please see my private message
[10:31] <irc_irc> indus: unetbootin takes whole space from pendrive ? right ? i have 4gb pendrive  with data. i don't want to waste space
[10:31] <ziroday> NewBiew: well to modify your domain settings you need to do that through your domain providers panel, this differs for every domain provider. You're better off contacting there support
[10:31] <Alexia> szczym, ??
[10:31] <indus> irc_irc: no it doenst
[10:31] <ActionParsnip> azlon: the password will authenticate the username, the username will then be used to read smb.conf to see what you can and connot do
[10:32] <indus> irc_irc: it will take space which it needs and leave the rest alone
[10:32] <Flannel> irc_irc: I don't see any documentation saying the USB creator is destructive (I don't see any saying otherwise either, except that it sounds like it won't take up more room than you need)
[10:32] <azlon> ActionParsnip,  ok, just set it up, let me try it... brb
[10:32] <irc_irc> indus: is it possible to use unetbootin to use only 1gb from 4gb pendrive ?
[10:32] <szczym> Alexia: i have been asked to move from that channel because bugs are out of topic here
[10:32] <indus> irc_irc: i believe yes but read the site for that info
[10:32] <Alexia> szczym, what is ubuntu-bugs?
[10:32] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: sure but the OS may not see the remaining space
[10:32] <indus> !unetbootin | irc_irc
[10:33] <szczym> Alexia: its other irc chanell
[10:33] <Alexia> szczym, they really asked you to leave this channel?
[10:33] <indus> irc_irc: are you trying to run an installation from usb? or just create usb bootable
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: i've seen some guides where large empty files get added so the OS can use more space
[10:33] <szczym> where folks punish bugs
[10:33] <NewBiew> ziroday: for setting A Records in the domain manager is been done. but for setting in the targeted IP for the A RECORDS is not been done. confusing.
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> !bugs | szczym
[10:33] <irc_irc> indus: ActionParsnip :  i have data on 4gb pendrive . i want to create 1gb partition and want to use that 1gb from the 4gb pendrive. how to do that ?
[10:33] <Alexia> szczym, ok i will chat with you on there
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: then partition the usb as 1Gb and 3Gb
[10:33] <sybux> Hi all.
[10:34] <b3rz3rk3r> anyone else with 64bit jaunty having their sound die on them randomly? Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. restarting ALSA doesnt solve it, but reboot the machines does. Suggestions?
[10:34] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: how to do that?
[10:34] <ziroday> NewBiew: I'm sorry I can't quite follow you, if its an issue with your domain provider you are better off contacting there support.
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: gksudo gparted     will help
[10:34] <sybux> I'm getting a little mad when trying to get running some cron job.
[10:34] <_tj> Okay.. ive been playing around with the different desktops... kde,xfce.. now in applications i see alot of stuff for all the desktops... ive done sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop and sudo apt-get remove xubuntu-desktop ... how to i get the extra stuff to remove
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> !cron | sybux
[10:34] <sybux> I've got a script which is running well in shell command.
[10:34] <_tj> like xchat, konqueror
[10:34] <ziroday> !puregnome | _tj
[10:34] <sybux> but when I run it vi cron.hourly it failed and I don't know how to debug it
[10:35] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: after using gparted , can i use that 1gb only from the 4gb for unetbootin?
[10:35] <indus> irc_irc: aah create partitions,now for that there are commands to do so,but it might mess up data on usb
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> _tj: those are only metapackages and when removed do nothing but remove the package, you need the !puregnome or !purekde factoids
[10:35] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: sure
[10:35] <indus> irc_irc: yes it will give u options to install to that partitition
[10:35] <azlon> ActionParsnip, awesome! it worked! thanks!
[10:36] <crunchbang> hi all !
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: if there is data on the device youwill need to copy it off until you are done
[10:36] <_tj> !purgegnome
[10:36] <_tj> !purekde
[10:36] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: indus: thank you very much
[10:36] <_tj> !puregnome
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> azlon: simple stuff eh. You can use that username now to restrict or allow access, you can control what smb usernames have access to wat
[10:36] <sybux> under which user cron.hourly scripts are running ?
[10:37] <_tj> Ok cool....
[10:37] <azlon> ActionParsnip, where can i set that up? how can i do user defined access? does the -a tag mean all?
[10:37] <_tj> ActionParsnip: one more question.. i installed cario.. if i decide i dont like it.. how can i get the bar back down at the bottom of the screen
[10:37] <indus> ActionParsnip: no thats not needed, it doesnt harm existing data
[10:37] <NewBiew> thx
[10:38] <indus> ActionParsnip: u mean unetbootin right?
[10:38] <dumont> is it possible to use cron to check if a php script is running in a firefox browser on the same server?
[10:38] <wolf23> can anyone tell me which torrent progam is good and fast on ubuntu?
[10:38] <sybux> is there a log file for cron job ?
[10:38] <indus> !torrent
[10:38] <ActionParsnip> azlon: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> azlon: http://pastebin.com/f51bb3fe6
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> azlon: thats mine on my file server, the bottom part is all you need really
[10:39] <wolf23> indus,  thanx friend, but which of them is more useful?
[10:39] <ActionParsnip> azlon: the names in the brackets are the share names, the rest is self explanatory
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> !panel
[10:40] <indus> wolf23: try the default one, transmission , simpke and light weight, or you can try azereus for more control
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> !resetpanel
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> _tj: ^
[10:40] <azlon> ActionParsnip, thanks!
[10:40] <_tj> Thanks
[10:40] <indus> wolf23: original bittorent client , try some windows stuf with wine too
[10:40] <indus> wolf23: so many choices
[10:40] <ActionParsnip> azlon: if you master that file, you can ssh over and add / modify the file, restart samba and *poof* a new share appears
[10:40] <sybux> is there a log file for cron job ? How to enable them ?
[10:41] <miguel> hola
[10:41] <ActionParsnip> sybux: check in /var/log
[10:42] <wolf23> indus,  before i was using ktorrent,but it seems unluckly :(, and i want a good one? but on ubuntu
[10:42] <sybux> ActionParsnip: already looked but there is nothing execpt in syslog when I've restarted the cron service
[10:42] <indus> wolf23: hmm i never use torrents cos i dont see what good they are really
[10:43] <indus> wolf23: except pirated movies :)
[10:43] <indus> wolf23: what else is good by torrent? i dont get it
[10:43] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: they all have benfits, try a few see which you prefer
[10:43] <indus> i get slower speeds with torrents, i prefer main server downloads http
[10:43] <indus> for example ubuntu iso, i never use torrent
[10:43] <azlon> ActionParsnip, hrmm... just tried to copy my movies folder from my Windows 1TB to my new RAID-5 3TB and it said not enough room. when i do "df" it says i have<PHONE_NUMBER>K available on /media/md1 (my raid)... any ideas?
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: i use transmission as it talks nicely to my G1 phone :)
[10:44] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm could u be more specific ?
[10:44] <indus> ActionParsnip: with phone? how
[10:44] <aaron11> can someone help my applications places systen is gone
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> indus: my g1 phone can web browse, if i click on a torrent it loads the app and tells my pc at home to download the files
[10:45] <grawity> aaron11: is the entire panel gone?
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> azlon: can you write a small file, to test
[10:45] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  transmission is good and fast without needing any configuration?
[10:45] <azlon> ActionParsnip, nevermind... i had to close and reopen my nautilus window after i set the permissions
[10:45] <aaron11> grawity no when i was playing a game it went away
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: its as fast as your connection will allow
[10:45] <aaron11> but the computer works
[10:45] <grawity> aaron11: Try pressing Alt-F2
[10:45] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: just like all other torret clients
[10:46] <grawity> aaron11: If a window opens, type gnome-panel in it.
[10:46] <pyrohotdog> Why is transmission only downloading one thing at a time and saying that the address is already in use?
[10:46] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i didnot have router,and my connection is 2 mb?
[10:46] <aaron11> no its not oppening
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: then you will get 250kbps max speed
[10:46] <indus> aaron11: right click on menu>edit menus and add it back
[10:47] <grawity> wolf23: 2 mb or 2 MB?
[10:47] <grawity> (Or Mb?)
[10:47] <ak_> hi, my x server locked up after using openoffice doc editor, I can only use console now.. on x server, I can move the mosue but can't click on anything, and ctrl-alt-backspace does not work. I tried metacity :0 in console but it says, unable to open X display

[10:47] <indus> wolf23: how did u install it?
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: sudo apt-get --purge remove ktorrent; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[10:48] <indus> wolf23: ok there you go ,terminal boy ActionParsnip gave u the code :)
[10:48] <aaron11> grawity,indus let me restart and see what happens
[10:48] <chessnutmushroom> i need to access a server and run a web browser from it, is the best way to install firefox and then ssh -X to it?
[10:48] <azlon> ok, files are copying to my new raid... now for my sound issues ;)
[10:48] <grawity> aaron11: you don't need to restart - just logout
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: you can also delete the ktorrent files and folders throughout your home folder if you wish
[10:48] <wolf23> indus,  i did : sudo apt-get install ktorrent
[10:48] <indus> wolf23: ya follow ActionParsnip advice
[10:49] <azlon> i have USB speakers plugged in but no audio. how can i make them the default speakers instead of my integrated sound card?

[10:50] <indus> shreymech: totem will do that, move to vlc player or mplayer
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> indus: no only the app, -r will also leave the confi that isnt in home, so will then require dpkg -P <package to shift it
[10:50] <indus> ActionParsnip: how about dpkg -r --purge? does taht work?
[10:50] <lorenzosu> Using thunderbird and compiz with gnome and 3 virtual desktops. When I put thunderbird in the notification area and then open it again it is always opened onthe 3rd desktop.

[10:52] <indus> grawity: thats a redhat package i thought
[10:52] <grawity> indus: It has always worked on ubuntu.

[11:01] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: yes
[11:01] <mtlife> I have a question, my ubuntu box always had ip <IP_ADDRESS> (dhcp reasons) and now it has <IP_ADDRESS>. My windows box still thinks its <IP_ADDRESS> (by //ubuntu/ network shares), how can i fix this?
[11:01] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.-> How do i change that?
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: the alternative installer allow you to place it elsewhere if you wish
[11:02] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  yes
[11:02] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  dkms_dbversion  openafs  vboxdrv  vboxnetadp  vboxnetflt

[11:03] <neonum6> hi everybody!can anyone suggest me a network bechmark tool that run on Ubuntu and Win too?
[11:03] <Roland> are there pdf readers for ubuntu which support bookmarks?
[11:03] <shomon> hiya, I've got and old laptop and it won't boot with the newest kernel update I got.
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> Roland: adobe do a pdf reader

[11:03] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  how do i move it after the install
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: ok so now if you run ls, is the folder there?
[11:03] <ActionParsnip> !grub | perscitus
[11:04] <indus> Roland: well evince does bookmarks too i suppose
[11:04] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  no
[11:04] <shomon> does anyone know how I can follow some steps to see if it installed right or where the error is?
[11:04] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  already there
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: great,ok: sudo apt-get --reinstall install openafs
[11:04] <esteban> bonjour
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: will reinstall it gracefully, you can then rip it out
[11:05] <indus> Roland: use the latest version though
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: or whatever the package name is
[11:05] <shomon> or if its about linux kernels, should I ask elsewhere?
[11:05] <indus> shomon: try the previous kernel ?
[11:05] <shomon> it works
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> !kernel | shomon
[11:05] <b3rz3rk3r> anyone else with jaunty having their sound die on them randomly? Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. restarting ALSA doesnt solve it, but reboot the machines does. Suggestions?
[11:05] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  E: Couldn't find package openafs
[11:05] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: after gparted i made 1gb and 2.5gb partitions , but now i'm not getting the 2.5gb partition in windows, i only see the 1gb partition in windows
[11:06] <indus> shomon: this is sometimes normal with newer kernels, that is the reason why they have older kernels so you can boot
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: i dont know the exact package name
[11:06] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  i want it on the ubuntu partition
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: you will need to format it
[11:06] <shomon> okay, but how can I go in to see where the error is?
[11:07] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: formatting in windows??
[11:07] <indus> wolf23: openafs-client
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: if you wish
[11:07] <indus> !info openafs
[11:07] <indus> !info openafs-client
[11:07] <shomon> just hoping I'm not stuck with the previous kernel
[11:07] <`brandon`> !Net::IRC
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> shomon: did the previous kernel not work for you?
[11:07] <`brandon`> Net::IRC | brandon
[11:07] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: if i format all data will be lost from 2.5gb? right ?
[11:07] <`brandon`> :/
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: yes
[11:07] <`brandon`> can anyone tell me how to get Net::IRC on my ubuntu?
[11:08] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: how can i keep 1gb and 2.5gb intact with data?
[11:08] <wolf23> indus,  thanx
[11:08] <lstarnes> `brandon`: try using the package libnet-irc-perl
[11:08] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: is it possible to see both 1gb and 2.5 gb in windows?
[11:08] <lstarnes> `brandon`: or sudo cpan Net::IRC
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: you cant. you need to make the new file table then delete it. This will destroy the data on the device
[11:08] <indus> wolf23: which file do u want? there are many openafs files
[11:08] <indus> wolf23: openafs-fileserver etcc
[11:08] <shomon> yes it does, just want to know if there's a problem with my laptop and will I be stuck with this previous kernel, or should I just keep trying updates...
[11:08] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: are you talking about doing this in windows ?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: if there is data on the device you need you should have copied it off before starting
[11:09] <indus> shomon: keep trying updates
[11:09] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  ok,after done how to install transmission completely, and tell me if deluge need to remove it or keep it?
[11:09] <lstarnes> `brandon`: most irc bots written in perl use the newer POE::Component::IRC or POE::Component::IRC::State instead of the outdated Net::IRC
[11:09] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: but in linux i can see 1gb and 2.5 gb partition seperately.
[11:09] <shomon> ok cheers indus and actionparsnip!
[11:09] <indus> lstarnes: what do those two colons denote?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: you can have both installed if you want. I just wouldnt run both. to install transmission run: sudo apt-get install transmission
[11:09] <`brandon`> What about Net::IRQ?
[11:09] <indus> lstarnes: poe:: what is that
[11:09] <wolf23> indus,  openafs-client is for what?
[11:09] <lstarnes> indus: it's a hierarchial separator used for namespacing
[11:10] <lstarnes> indus: POE is the Perl Object Environment.  it's an event-driven progrmming framework
[11:10] <indus> wolf23: well its the software which sits on your system like host
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: thats because you will need to go into disk manager to sort them out and give drive letters etc
[11:10] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i got this configration on openafs : AFS cell this workstation belongs to:
[11:10] <indus> wolf23: you should kknow which is which, i dont use these
[11:10] <perscitus> to bad ActionParsnip  isnt in a helpful mood
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: if you are netbooting on the 1Gb partition it may not be readable in windows
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: too bad indeed
[11:11] <indus> wolf23: yea ActionParsnip will guide u
[11:11] <FishermansEnemy> Hello peep. Does anyone here know why Jaunty spawns a couple of argus processes when you disconnect from a USB mobile broandband connection?
[11:11] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: why is it not readable in windows?
[11:11] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i dont know what is openafs and using for what?
[11:11] <FishermansEnemy> It does it on my O2 and Vodafone dongles, both Huwei but different models
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: also too bad i'm helping wolf23 and irc_irc at the same time, so back off
[11:11] <irc_irc> ActionParsnip: so how can i make a bootable ubuntu in 1gb partition?
[11:11] <mtlife> Hello, i have samba setup as a wins server, but when i go from my windows box to ubuntu with \\ubuntu\ it cannot find it. Ping reveals its trying to connect to <IP_ADDRESS> while the ip of \\ubuntu\ is <IP_ADDRESS>. How to fix this?
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> irc_irc: i didnt say it isnt, i simply said it may not
[11:12] <indus> ActionParsnip: ok ill help irc_irc
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: not sure
[11:12] <matrioska> buongiorno...c'è qualcuno che parla italiano ed ha un po' di tempo per una novellina di xubuntu? grazie
[11:12] <indus> irc_irc: so u got unetbootin? select that partition and install it htere
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> !info openafs-client
[11:12] <lstarnes> !it | matrioska
[11:12] <matrioska> ok grazie!!!
[11:13] <irc_irc> indus: i see the only 1gb partition in windows , not getting the 2.5gb partition
[11:13] <indus> matrioska: if you know a little english i suggest you stay here
[11:13] <indus> irc_irc: use it from ubuntu
[11:13] <indus> irc_irc: understood?
[11:13] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  is it necessary to install openafs?
[11:13] <indus> irc_irc: install unetbootin on ubuntu then create bootable usb
[11:13] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  grub says stage1 is on hd0,5 when there is only 4 partitions
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: i dont know what it is so i couldnt say, have a websearch and se what it is
[11:14] <indus> perscitus: number starts from zero thats why 0,1,2,3,4
[11:14] <irc_irc> indus: ok, but what may be the reason for not getting the 2.5gb partition in windows?
[11:14] <indus> irc_irc: what format is it?
[11:14] <lstarnes> perscitus: an extended volume counts as a partition, I think
[11:14] <matrioska> yes, but i don't speak english very well and i won't disturb...thank you i go in ubuntu italia
[11:14] <perscitus> indus.-> uh i am away of this.
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: weird, unless grub counts the extended partition with a partition number
[11:14] <indus> matrioska: ok but it might be empty
[11:14] <indus> matrioska: like all those local irc channels
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: then it would only go up to 0,4
[11:15] <mtlife> Hello, i have samba setup as a wins server, but when i go from my windows box to ubuntu with \\ubuntu\ it cannot find it. Ping reveals its trying to connect to <IP_ADDRESS> while the ip of \\ubuntu\ is <IP_ADDRESS>. How to fix this?
[11:15] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  I got NTFS, unallocated, extended, swap, ext3.. in that order
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> mtlife: add an entry in the hosts file is one way. and set the server to use static ip
[11:15] <giovanni> hi to all
[11:15] <mickster04> hi
[11:16] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  So thats only 4 if you count unallocated too
[11:16] <irc_irc> indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260258/
[11:16] <indus> mickster04: hello
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: maybe the unallocated space has a number in grub? I dont play with grub much as i only single boot
[11:16] <indus> irc_irc: what is this
[11:16] <indus> perscitus: what is the problem
[11:16] <mickster04> how do indus:D
[11:16] <indus> mickster04: super :) good to see u
[11:16] <irc_irc> indus: after partition the pendrive fat32
[11:16] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  stage1 is the boot file in /boot/grub?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: makes sense to me
[11:17] <irc_irc> indus: http://paste.ubuntu.com/260258/
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: i believe so yes.
[11:17] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  ok thanx too much dude :)
[11:17] <giovanni> i need an help with a bash script that i'm writing. I need to pass the output of a `ls` to a select. So i store the ls to VAR and then pass it to the select. The problem is with 2 worded directory that appear in 2 rows. Can someone help me?
[11:17] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  so I could just install grub to  hd0,5  then
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: np ma, let you r system run for a week or so
[11:17] <indus> irc_irc: so 2 fat 32 partitions ?
[11:17] <NET||abuse> hey guys, remember on the run up to jaunty, they had this    http://www.ubuntu.com/files/countdown/904/countdown-9.04-1/countdown.html   countdown graphic you could drop onto your homepage,, Wondering if one is coming out for Karmic
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: if all is well, you can delete the file you copied to your home directory
[11:17] <FishermansEnemy> Every time I disconnect a mobile broadband connection I get a couple of argus processes starting that take 50% cpu ( dual core system ). Anyone have any ideas why?
[11:17] <irc_irc> indus: yes
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: makes sense to me
[11:17] <indus> perscitus: yes you can if u wish
[11:18] <indus> perscitus: but i prefer just device mbr
[11:18] <indus> perscitus: setup (hd0)
[11:18] <FishermansEnemy> Google does not help, or my fu is weak.
[11:18] <indus> irc_irc: in windows you dont see it?
[11:18] <irc_irc> indus: yes
[11:18] <indus> irc_irc: why dont you use this from ubuntu and create it?
[11:18] <mtlife> ActionParsnip: i found it out myself, a restart of the bind9 server did it
[11:18] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i didnot continue install openafs i close it coz i dont know how to configure it? :(
[11:18] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  uh, unrecognized dev string
[11:19] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  but delete the file copied? which one?
[11:19] <indus> irc_irc: you in ubuntu now correct?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: then i'd find out what it is, if its uneeded, uninstall it
[11:19] <irc_irc> indus: bcaz i did not install unetbootin in ubuntu
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: ~/open<whatever it was>
[11:19] <indus> irc_irc: well, just install it then, its only 1 mb
[11:20] <indus> irc_irc: sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> perscitus: read the grub factoid dude. it will tell you way more than i can
[11:20] <indus> perscitus: whats the problem you facing man?
[11:20] <perscitus> oops my bad
[11:20] <indus> perscitus: i solve your problem in 3 steps
[11:21] <indus> irc_irc: installed?
[11:21] <perscitus> indus.->  I use setup (hd0,5) ?
[11:21] <indus> perscitus: no use setup   (hd0)
[11:21] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  yes if it not needed or uneeded tell me plz :)
[11:21] <perscitus> indus.->  not going on mbr
[11:21] <indus> perscitus: why not?
[11:21] <perscitus> indus.->  another bootloader there
[11:22] <indus> perscitus: which one
[11:22] <perscitus> indus.->  doesnt matter
[11:22] <irc_irc> indus: yes
[11:22] <cowiecow> Hi hi, does anyone know of a way to get Rhythmbox to repeat a track instead of repeating the whole playlist? Some of my songs have the same names, but one might be a remix, so I can't just use the search tool to do it all.
[11:22] <indus> perscitus: lol ok then setup     (hd0,anywher u like)
[11:22] <indus> irc_irc: so open the software and se your partition?
[11:23] <indus> cowiecow: repeat button?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: sudo apt-get --purge remove openafs-client
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: then read the screen, see what is going to ALSO be removed
[11:23] <Dougal> tech question from a tech newbie - If I buy an IDE DVD writer from ebay can I just assume It'll be possible to get it working on my desktop?
[11:23] <Dougal> I have a resident computer-geek who can help me get it installed, I just don't want him to take a look at it and go 'oooo, you should have got a different one'
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> Dougal: all drives have IDE :)
[11:23]  * Dougal nods
[11:23] <irc_irc> indus: yes, it's working in linux ,but interesting , why isn't it working in windows?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> Dougal: drives and IDEs use ISO standards so will be fine
[11:23] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm really, all newer ones aer SATA
[11:24] <cowiecow> indus: Well, the repeat button is a Repeat Playlist, not a Repeat Track/Repeat One Song.
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> indus: ide == itegrated drive electronics
[11:24] <indus> irc_irc: well,gparted isnt perfect
[11:24] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.-> smartaleck
[11:24] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm so its not a standard?
[11:24] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  i got this when i do installing transmission --> Building module:
[11:24] <wolf23> cleaning build area....(bad exit status: 2)
[11:24] <wolf23> ./configure --with-linux-kernel-headers=/lib/modules/2.6.28-15-generic/build && make && mv src/libafs/MODLOAD-*/openafs.ko
[11:24] <Dougal> ActionParsnip: IDE fits into mine, it's a very old one. Could there be problems with drivers?
[11:24] <irc_irc> indus: what do you mean , bug in gparted ??
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> indus: the littel chip that gives drive cache etc. Old drives that were not IDE relied entirely on the controller
[11:24] <perscitus> Dougal.->  use PATA instead of IDE
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> Dougal: the kernel will handle it
[11:24] <FishermansEnemy> ActionParsnip, except the ones that are SATA
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> FishermansEnemy: sata have ides too
[11:25] <indus> irc_irc: not bug,but cant say where lies the problem, i have gparted failing to recognise my partitions sometimes
[11:25] <indus> irc_irc: diferent software work differnetly when creating partitions
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> FishermansEnemy: scsi drives have ides too
[11:25] <indus> ActionParsnip: iam talking about the interface IDE
[11:25] <irc_irc> indus: is there any other software except gparted to partition drive?
[11:25] <FishermansEnemy> ActionParsnip, I bow before your experience.
[11:25] <theuns1> HI can some help me with rsync
[11:26] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  oh stop
[11:26] <indus> irc_irc: qtparted i think
[11:26] <theuns1> i did read the man and i give the command correctly
[11:26] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  Reading state information... Done
[11:26] <wolf23> Package openafs-client is not installed, so not removed
[11:26] <irc_irc> indus: ok
[11:26] <irc_irc> indus: thank you
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> FishermansEnemy: its a common mistake but is understood by all. i just like nit picking it ;)
[11:26] <NeXstaR> how do i change the top bar on gnome also to awm manager ?
[11:26] <theuns1> but i do get the error "ssh: Could not resolve hostname http: Name or service not known" ??
[11:27] <theuns1> what is wrong ??
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: no problem then: simply run: sudo apt-get -f install
[11:27] <revilodraw> hi! i just followed the system update, which updated my exaile, now the multimedia keys wont fast forward, pause songs etc... any deas?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: to make sure everything is square
[11:27] <yva> hello is there somewhere a list of ubuntu-compatible laptop?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: if you see all 0s you win the prize
[11:27] <perscitus> ActionParsnip.->  wouldnt it be easier to assume when people say ide drive, then mean PATA?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !hcl > yva
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> !laptop
[11:27] <FishermansEnemy> Easier, but not as fun ;)
[11:28] <loop8> hey. smartctl shows my Seek_Error_Rate of one of my hard drives to be quite a high value. do I need to be concerned?
[11:28] <yva> (I'm interested in the acer aspire 7738G)
[11:28] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  just paste this sudo apt-get -f install???
[11:28] <indus> !hcl
[11:28] <rohdef> is there an easy program to plan placement of furniture in a room? It should be simple, since all firnuture and the room i rectangular
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> yva: the acer aspire one ZG5 works 100% out of the box with NBR 9.04
[11:28] <indus> rohdef: wrong channel
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: sure if you wish
[11:28] <Flannel> rohdef: You could use inkscape....
[11:28] <Flannel> indus: No it's not
[11:28] <indus> rohdef: or maybe not
[11:28] <indus> ya sorry missed it
[11:28] <rohdef> hehe :)
[11:28] <indus> heh sorry
[11:29] <Flannel> rohdef: dia might have a furnature/room/etc library already, I'm not sure
[11:29] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  Building dependency tree
[11:29] <wolf23> Reading state information... Done
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: use pastebin again dude
[11:29] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  oh sorry
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> np :)
[11:29] <indus> wolf23: just to clarify, you cant remove software you havent installed :)
[11:29] <rohdef> Flannel, I'll try, thanks
[11:29] <rohdef> indus, hehe it happens
[11:30] <yva> No 7738G :(
[11:30] <indus> rohdef: how about some 3d max type software?
[11:30] <indus> rohdef: i seen autocad doing it sometimes ,these builders
[11:30] <Flannel> rohdef: looks like xfig might be a good lead too, xfig-libs includes furniture stuff
[11:30] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  http://pastebin.com/m63cfc369
[11:30] <rohdef> indus, too complicated, but a possibility, I have no need for the z-factor
[11:31] <indus> rohdef: kk
[11:31] <indus> rohdef: so 2d
[11:31] <wolf23> indus,  ah ok thanx
[11:31] <rohdef> indus, yup that's best, I think I got some good shots at what I can use now
[11:31] <Akos_bacsi> hi, after yesterday's update of the mono packages we have lost the nfs-home-s, Why?
[11:31] <rohdef> Flannel, thankks a lot :)
[11:31] <rohdef> *thanks
[11:31] <cowiecow> indus: How would I get Rhythmbox to Repeat Track?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: o kyou  are set: sudo apt-get upgrade and you are good to run
[11:31] <yva> ActionParsnip> No problem with only part of the ram detected?
[11:32] <indus> cowiecow: there is a repeat button in it
[11:32] <cowiecow> indus: I know, but it repeats the whole playlist, doesn't it? Not one song.
[11:32] <indus> cowiecow: but u already seen it iam sure'
[11:32] <ActionParsnip> yva: it detects al the ram i the acer. What do you mean>
[11:32] <indus> cowiecow: no move it to playqueue
[11:32] <cowiecow> Ehh.
[11:32] <indus> cowiecow: then repeat
[11:33] <cowiecow> indus: I guess. So it won't work like iTunes or Banshee.
[11:33] <mickster04> cowiecow, can you not just select the song and play it by itself?
[11:33] <yva> ActionParsnip> I read somewhere that only 3 out of 4 G of ram was detected under 9.04 with the 7738G
[11:33] <indus> cowiecow: in banshee how does it work?
[11:33] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  now i open transmission, is there to edit anything on preference like in yours :)
[11:33] <indus> cowiecow: banshee is better anyways
[11:33] <cowiecow> indus: You have three options: Repeat One, Repeat All, and No Repeat. I think it's better, but it lags on me at times... Have you used Exaile?
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> yva: if a system has > 4Gb ram then i advise 64bit OS
[11:34] <indus> cowiecow: once i did but didnt stick to it much
[11:34] <cowiecow> mickster84: I can put it in the Play Queue, but that's it. It works very... oddly since it's only Repeat Trakc.
[11:34] <yva> ActionParsnip> It has 4G
[11:34] <indus> !exaile
[11:34] <cowiecow> mickster84: *Repeat List
[11:34] <administrator__> ?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: its pretty much set, you can enable the web interface if you wish so you can manage the app from another system
[11:34] <mickster04> !tab | cowiecow
[11:34] <administrator__> fd
[11:34] <administrator__> sdf
[11:34] <administrator__> sdf
[11:34] <administrator__> s
[11:34] <FloodBot2> administrator__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:34] <mickster04> cowiecow, im zero-four not eight-foiur
[11:35] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  ok thanx dude :))
[11:35] <cowiecow> mickster04: Oh. Oops.
[11:35] <mickster04> cowiecow, its ok:D
[11:35] <yva> ActionParsnip> why would a 64bits be required for > 4G of ram?
[11:36] <mickster04> cowiecow, well if u just want to play one track anyway why use the who playlist?
[11:36] <mickster04> ActionParsnip, surely you need a 64bit processor too?
[11:36] <cowiecow> mickster04: Because Rhythmbox doesn't give you that ability. I wish it would let me choose a song from the PLaylist and it would repeat that until I wanted to change songs. iTunes/Banshee/Listen-style.
[11:36] <mickster04> cowiecow, whole*
[11:37] <mickster04> cowiecow, oh i have never used rythmbox:D
[11:37] <indus> cowiecow: exaile looks sleek doesnt it?
[11:37] <indus> cowiecow: but mostly i use default apps
[11:38] <cowiecow> mickster04: xP Yeah... It's a decent player - it just is missing that Repeat Track deal. And that's a dealbreaker.
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> mickster04: indeed
[11:38] <indus> cowiecow: if u move a song to play queue doesnt it repeat?
[11:38] <cowiecow> indus: Typically, I try to keep close to default apps, and particularly ones that are pointed out to by GNOME... But Rhythmbox sucks and for me, Firefox > Epiphany. x_x For some reason, Amarok doesn't work with me.
[11:38] <indus> hmm true
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> yva: 32bit cpu cant handle more than 3Gb ram due to 32bit address registers
[11:39] <cowiecow> cowiecow: Oh. Uhhh... It would. But it's just that I'd rather have it like Banshee or something. x.x So much for default player.
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> yva: you wont find a system with more ram than the cpu can address, its just silly
[11:39] <ActionParsnip> yva: you can address more ram if you use PAE
[11:39] <lstarnes> ActionParsnip: I thought the limit was about 4 GB
[11:39] <cowiecow> *indus: Oh. Uhhh... It would. But it's just that I'd rather have it like Banshee or something. x.x So much for default player.
[11:39] <yva> ActionParsnip> ok. but there a bunch of software not existing in the 64 bit version?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> lstarnes: ive seen folks only gtting 3Gb so I advise 64bit personally
[11:40] <yva> ActionParsnip> PAE?
[11:40] <bjwe> I am trying to "ghost" my bootable compact flash card to another compact flash card (1st cf = /dev/sda1, 2nd cf = /dev/sdb1). I've ran "cat /dev/sda1 > /dev/sdb1". When I try to boot my 2nd cf card it goes to the bootloader it seems, but not further
[11:40] <bjwe> any ideas?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> yva: some dont (like ghastly skype and some game devs dont make 64 bit) but most do
[11:40] <Innomen> will the next version of ubuntu have an updated kernel?
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> yva: websearch it, its quite complex
[11:40] <ActionParsnip> Innomen: yes
[11:41] <Krenari> i have have problem with graphic card
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> !info linux-image karmic
[11:41] <yva> ActionParsnip> Yep skype is one of the app I use the most
[11:41] <indus> ActionParsnip: why is skype ghastly?
[11:41] <arand> bjwe: are usb sticks complete twins?
[11:41] <indus> ActionParsnip: its the best voip app on linux
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> yva: skype can run in 64bit. i hate skype and do not use it as it proprietary
[11:42] <indus> ActionParsnip: aah for that
[11:42] <Krenari> ActionParsnip: I have problem with graphic card. can yuu help me pls
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> indus: ekiga is another option. i just hate skype and broadcom and apple
[11:42] <yva> ActionParsnip> sure it's running in 64 bits?
[11:42] <indus> ActionParsnip: ekiga is downright pathetic, but its off topic now
[11:42] <ActionParsnip> yva: there are guides
[11:42] <bjwe> arand: nope
[11:42] <bjwe> arand: and they are CF cards
[11:42] <indus> yva: it runs in 64 bit iam using it
[11:43] <ActionParsnip> Krenari: can you provide the output of: sudo lshw -C display | grep product
[11:43] <indus> ActionParsnip: and they will drop it in future anyway
[11:43] <yva> indus> excellent thanks
[11:43] <cowiecow> ActionParsnip: Aside from the open source factor of Ekiga, why would one prefer Ekiga?
[11:43] <indus> yva: use the medibuntu packages for skype
[11:43] <yva> indus> it alspo support the webcam?
[11:43] <indus> cowiecow: i find ekiga to be the most hopeless of all defaults
[11:43] <Krenari> product: RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO]
[11:43] <Krenari>        product: RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO] (Secondary)
[11:43] <indus> yva: yes it does
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> cowiecow: i support open source where i can. drivers and flash are also stuff i use but they just work better, there are thousands of voip softwares which work well
[11:44] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  sorry but a little error, if i try to delete the folder copied from home, it shows : There was an error deleting kernel-2.6.28-15-generic-x86_64. permision denied
[11:44] <yva> indus> ok just checking
[11:44] <indus> !medibuntu
[11:44] <LinDrug> is there an arabic ubuntu-channel?
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> !ati | Krenari
[11:44] <indus> yva: just download the packge from medibuntu.org
[11:44] <cowiecow> ActionParsnip: so more or less, it's all philosophy?
[11:44] <yva> indus> I don't have the 64 bit version yet
[11:44] <yva> I want to buy a new laptop
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: if you are deleting the folder we copied to your home folder you will need to run: gksudo nautilus   then delete it, then close nautilus
[11:45] <indus> yva: skype is 32 bit only, but it can be installed on a 64 bit OS
[11:45] <indus> yva: 64 bit support will probably arrive late this year
[11:45] <cowiecow> indus: I noticed that when I played with it earlier... T_T
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> cowiecow: its just how i feel about 1 system being touted as "best" just because its used by most. Windows is a classic example here, as well as ipod / iphone
[11:45] <indus> skype is thebest , and it doesnt need a poll to prove it
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> indus: many would agree, many would disagree
[11:46] <mickster04> indus your prolly wrong on that one, i for one disagree
[11:46] <indus> ActionParsnip: hmm not many would disagree iam sure
[11:46] <bhaskar_> help me
[11:46] <cowiecow> ActionParsnip: Ah, yeah. I get what you mean. I thought initially you meant that Ekiga had a set of unique features that make it really strong even if it's an 'underdog' in terms of popularity. But I get what you mean.
[11:46] <indus> mickster04: you are nobody :) just a spec
[11:46] <ahmed> Any one know a tool to convert between compressed file formats?
[11:46] <yva> I has the advantage og being compatible across platforms
[11:47] <cowiecow> mickster04: What do you use for VoIP on Linux?
[11:47] <ActionParsnip> indus: well most people use windows OS, maybe you should use that as they tink its best....
[11:47] <indus> skype is encrypted end to end for both video and voice, no ther voip app even exists that can do it
[11:47] <yva> but the linux version is terrible wrt managing the sound etc
[11:47] <mickster04> cowiecow, skype, doesnt mean its the best tho:p
[11:47] <bhaskar_> i cant able to connect to net
[11:47] <cowiecow> mickster04: What do you prefer then? =P
[11:48] <indus> ActionParsnip:  mickster04 skype is encrypted end to end for both video and voice, no ther voip app even exists that can do it
[11:48] <indus> any comments
[11:48] <indus> none iam sure
[11:48] <mickster04> !ot | indus
[11:48] <mickster04> :P

[11:49] <mickster04> bhaskar_ what have you tried?
[11:49] <cowiecow> !ot | cowiecow
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> indus: i dont wear a tinfoil hat so that doesnt interest me
[11:50] <mickster04> cowiecow, you ok?
[11:50] <gogereaver> ActionParsnip: hear is a tinfoil hat
[11:50] <onexused> indus: For me, the fact that Skype is written so that they can monitor your convo if they want (as evidenced by their allowing China to monitor connections in and out of the country) turns me off.  Even if Skype never gives anyone the keys again, it's still easier for a cracker to get in, I would think, than a program that tries to keep -all- spying out. http://arstechnica.com/telecom/news/2009/07/russia-not-the-first-to-see-skype-as-a-security-th
[11:50] <cowiecow> mickster04: Maybe. I'm running on low sleep, lol.  I also started playing with a little amateur photography lately. I feel that as a library F-Spot doesn't do the trick very well (especially since I came from the Mac world, so I found Aperture and iPhoto VERY good for organizing my photos). Are there any other GTK-based deals that help out with this? I know digiKam exists for Qt/KDE, but I'd very much prefer something GTK.
[11:51] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  where can i see transmission in which folder?
[11:51] <gogereaver> ActionParsnip: wjere all tinfoil hat we run linux
[11:52] <Gnea> cowiecow: gtkam
[11:52] <lstarnes> gogereaver: I think you have linux mistaken for openbsd
[11:52] <gogereaver> lol
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> gogereaver: no need. i casually webbrowse and chat,super top secret
[11:52] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: the binary is in /usr/bin the rest of the app is scattered throughout the system
[11:52] <idan> anyone have a solution for making movies.com work on ubuntu ?
[11:53] <indus> grr off topic
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: the default save location is the desktop, you can change this so your system is neater
[11:53] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  if i open a torrent file it opens with deluge, how could i do with transmission?
[11:53] <cowiecow> !gtkam
[11:53] <indus> onexused: that depends which report you read
[11:53] <mickster04> idan whats your problem with it?
[11:54] <cowiecow> Gnea: Does it have the ability to still touch them up a bit like F-Spot? Or is it strict library?
[11:54] <ahmed_>  Any one know a tool to convert between compressed file formats?
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: download a .torrent file to the desktop . right click it -> open with ->other program and select transmission and select remember this setting
[11:54] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: you can also change aps in firefox so that it is the default app to use
[11:55] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  :) ok
[11:55] <Gnea> cowiecow: i don't remember :)
[11:55] <Gnea> cowiecow: you'll have to try it and see
[11:55] <cowiecow> Gnea: Aight. Thankies.
[11:55] <mickster04> idan, ? whats the problem with it?
[11:55] <onexused> indus: I like the paranoid version : )
[11:55] <Gnea> cowiecow: I'm used to gimping them anyway
[11:56] <vilkas> sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default,  use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names?
[11:56] <cowiecow> Gnea: Yah. I mean, I could always GIMP/Photoshop/whatever them too, but having the ability to make subtle lighting, etc. changes as I need be without waiting for GIMP to open up would be MUCH nicer.
[11:56] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  u can change apps in firefox, where is it :(( sorry but i cant see it
[11:57] <indus> onexused: heh me too :) fun to read
[11:57] <itg> hi
[11:57] <indus> cowiecow: should i try exaile or banshee?
[11:57] <Gnea> cowiecow: like I said, you'll have to try it out. if it doesn't have it, make a feature request or write it in yourself
[11:57] <itg> where is the german ubuntu support?
[11:57] <cowiecow> Gnea: I don't think gtkam supports my model of camera. It's a Kodak V1073, so I'll probably go request it or figure something out.
[11:58] <bazhang> itg, #ubuntu-de
[11:58] <itg> thx
[11:58] <Gnea> cowiecow: really? it works just fine on mine, since it uses libusb
[11:58] <cowiecow> indus: Try them both, I'd say. But for the record... exaile runs like Amarok, GTK edition. Banshee is very very iTunes-like in interface, although I prefer it over iTunes in some ways (aside from how iTunes CAN convert music and I don't know if Banshee can).
[11:59] <cowiecow> indus: My preferences is Banshee. My main gripe is the lag involved sometimes with the poor redrawing abilities of Banshee since it does its interface a LITTLE differently.
[11:59] <Gnea> cowiecow: hrm, you're right, I don't see the V1073 in the list
[12:00] <cowiecow> Gnea: It's a fairly new camera. It wouldn't surprise me if it weren't there. It's a point-and-shoot too, so it's not one of the big boys.
[12:00]  * Gnea looksees
[12:00] <GPL> i installed the radeonhd driver, but when run the command 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Direct rendering enabled"' it says "(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled" :( | Uhh :( i'm sure something went wrong
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> wolf23: edit -> perfs -> applications tab
[12:01] <cowiecow> Oh yeah, does anyone know a GTK equivalent of CoverSutra? I REALLY liked being able to just press a key and pull up everything with a keystroke to control my media.
[12:01] <Gnea> cowiecow: ah, yeah, that line of the easyshares leaves a bit to be desired... does it take the picture right away, as soon as you press the button, or does it wait a second before actually taking it?
[12:02] <aaron11> helo
[12:02] <aaron11> helo
[12:02] <cowiecow> Gnea: Pretty much right away. I've actually been rather satisfied with it for the most part.
[12:02] <wolf23> ActionParsnip,  ok :) now thanx, and good helper
[12:02] <mickster04> hi
[12:03] <cowiecow> Gnea: No wait or anything. My main gripe is that compared to my old Nikon Coolpix, the pictures aren't as sharp all the time. That Nikon Coolpix L6 got some REALLY sharp pictures. But the video quality of the Kodak V1073 managed to get HD video, so I liked it. Unfortunately, gtkam doesn't. D:
[12:03] <vilkas> sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default,  use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names?
[12:03] <Gnea> cowiecow: cool. I've got a Z730 that's done pretty well. I was able to capture Jupiter, Mars and Vega with it recently.
[12:03] <cowiecow> Gnea: Really? I was thinking of getting one of the Z series earlier, but I ended up going for the V series. I hear lots of good things from the Z line though.
[12:04] <Gnea> cowiecow: that would be a really nice camera to be supported by libgphoto
[12:04] <mickster04> Gnea, thats a pretty big net u have there:P
[12:04] <mickster04> !ot
[12:04] <Gnea> mickster04: enough :p
[12:04] <cowiecow> Gnea: Yeah, I get what you mean. lol
[12:04] <cowiecow> Okay...
[12:04] <mickster04> :D
[12:05] <onexused> idan: What part of movies.com isn't working for you?
[12:05] <mickster04> idan isnt here anymroe
[12:05] <zebuduflea> hello , i would like to ask a question
[12:05] <mickster04> i presume his flash player wasnt working
[12:05] <mickster04> zebuduflea, but fo course
[12:05] <mickster04> !ask
[12:05] <cowiecow> Has anyone here heard of that one project about pidgin-webkit or whatever where they managed to port over Adium messagelists to Pidgin? Because I wanted to do that, but it seems like it doesn't work on newer versions - and on top of that I'm on amd64, not i386. D:
[12:05] <Gnea> cowiecow: yeah, I would talk to the libgphoto people and see if there's a way they can work with you to get it supported: http://www.gphoto.org/proj/libgphoto2/support.php
[12:05] <vilkas> sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default,  use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names?
[12:05] <cowiecow> Gnea: Thankies.
[12:06] <Gnea> cowiecow: I mean, if I were you. :)
[12:06] <zebuduflea> i just installed ubuntu on vmware, i have fedora already and i was wondering if unbuntu has the equivalent of "yum" in fedora ?
[12:06] <mickster04> zebuduflea, what is yum?
[12:06] <onexused> zebuduflea: apt-get
[12:06] <Pythack> zebuduflea > apt-get.
[12:06] <arand> zebuduflea: or aptitude
[12:07] <onexused> mickster04: yum is redhat, fedora's package manager
[12:07] <cowiecow> zebuduflea: GUI choices are Synaptic Package Manager. Terminal choices are apt-get and aptitude.
[12:07] <mickster04> o i c
[12:07] <zebuduflea> thanks
[12:07] <leaf-sheep> mickster04: yum for Fedora.  apt-get/aptitude for Ubuntu.
[12:07] <zebuduflea> danke schon
[12:07] <Pythack> What is the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[12:07] <Gnea> mickster04: yum is the fedora equivalent of apt, but for installing rpms
[12:07] <Pythack> zebuduflea > You're deutsch?
[12:07] <mickster04> lol i get it now:D
[12:07] <cowiecow> Pythack: aptitude is more powerful. It's generally just better to use.
[12:07] <zebuduflea> no, just speak a bit of deutch
[12:07] <mickster04> deutsch*
[12:07] <cowiecow> Pythack: apt-get I think was there long and is simpler to use. But I prefer aptitude... When I'm not too lazy to type it. >_>;
[12:08] <mickster04> anyone unsolved?
[12:08]  * leaf-sheep use aliases to install/purge/etc packages. :)
[12:08] <Pythack> cowiecow > I've always use apt-get but I'll try to use aptitude.
[12:08] <aaron11> pati
[12:08] <aaron11> help
[12:08] <aaron11> helo
[12:09] <mickster04> hello aaron11
[12:09] <arand> Pythack: aptitude is a bit more high-level. Has a possible ncurses interface, and generally tells you more about what's being done. And has some oddity resolving features as well...
[12:09] <cowiecow> Pythack > To each their own. Aptitude's high point is that when you remove packages it'll also remove any dependencies that package had that are no longer being used anymore, which is nice.
[12:09] <GPL> i installed the radeonhd driver, but when run the command 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Direct rendering enabled"' it says "(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled" :( | Uhh :( i'm sure something went wrong
[12:09] <aaron11> mickster04
[12:09] <aaron11> mickster04 hi
[12:09] <mickster04> !ask | aaron11,
[12:09] <zebuduflea> its nice, my installation has wget and gcc
[12:09] <zebuduflea> :P
[12:09] <zebuduflea> already
[12:09] <aaron11> ?
[12:09] <zebuduflea> wasnt the case on fedora
[12:09] <aaron11> mickster04 i didnt ask a question
[12:10] <mickster04> aaron11, well u wrote "help"
[12:10] <aaron11> what i meant was helo
[12:10] <mickster04> aaron11, oooh ok, hello ack

[12:10] <vilkas> sort question, vsftpd on ubuntu uses date before file name by default,  use_logcaltime=NO do not dissable this function, how to dissable theat date before file names?
[12:10] <zebuduflea> Another question: yum had the option to search through packages, "yum serach whatever" , how do i do this with apt-get ?
[12:10] <Gnea> aaron11: this is an irc channel, not an smtp server :)
[12:11] <mickster04> zebuduflea, use synaptics package manager?
[12:11] <leaf-sheep> zebuduflea: aptitude search pidgin --OR -- apt-cache search firefox
[12:11] <vilkas> it's hopeless
[12:11] <zebuduflea> thanks , i was using apt-get search whatever
[12:11] <mickster04> vilkas, yeap, seems so
[12:12] <cowiecow> Oh, for anyone who uses GIMP... Are there any set of plugins that you particularly like using? I have only a few, but I think a few more would be helpful to have.
[12:12] <aruntomar> i have ubuntu 9.04 and it almost eats up my entire 4 gig's of ram after running continuously for approx 1 week, my system config is amd athlon x2 dual core, 4 gig ram, asus motherboard, 500 gig hard disk, at the time i was checking the memory usage not a single application was running and in the top there are hardly any processes that would eat up that much ram, has anyone else faced the same kind of issue?
[12:12] <vilkas> anyway bye
[12:12] <zebuduflea> aruntomare, maybe you are hacked
[12:12] <mickster04> aruntomar, it might be caching ram?
[12:12] <metacube__> Which ZFs Version is current ported for the ubuntu rep
[12:13] <aruntomar> zebuduflea: i'm sure that my system is not hacked ;)
[12:13] <aruntomar> mickster04: how can i find the cache usage etc
[12:13] <zebuduflea> :)
[12:14] <cowiecow> Is there a way to install i386 software on amd64 platforms? Like, I have an i386 package I can't find an amd64 of.
[12:14] <mickster04> aruntomar, u know that ubuntu uses free ram to store stuff in for quick access, it isnt used as such just ready for use if need be and will be removed if and when a different program requessts it
[12:14] <mickster04> !ram-caching
[12:14] <mickster04> :/
[12:14] <mickster04> !cache<mickster04
[12:14] <mickster04> !cache > mickster04
[12:15] <mickster04> hmm..brb
[12:15] <zebuduflea> How can i copy something into terminal from windows, im using vmware to run unbuntu
[12:16] <zebuduflea> How can i copy something into terminal from windows, im using vmware to run unbuntu
[12:16] <Pythack> I have some knowledge in C, and I want to know how I can do for participate in GNU project?
[12:16] <onexused> zebuduflea: Does vmware have a "shared clipboard" or similar option?  I'm not familiar with it.
[12:17] <cowiecow> zebuduflea: Copy whatever in VMWare, however VMWare told you to do it... Then Ctrl+Shift+V in Terminal.
[12:17] <optimus> zebuduflea: just copy it
[12:17] <zebuduflea> ok, i will try contro-shit-v
[12:18] <optimus> there u go
[12:18] <aruntomar> zebuduflea: well i'm not very sure of vmware but in virtualbox once u install guest additions then you can seamlessly copy paste stuff from one vm to another
[12:18] <mickster04> aruntomar, basically it probably isnt full, just has stuff cached, does it work slow ?
[12:18] <zebuduflea> it doesnt work, ctrl-v or ctrl-shift-v
[12:18] <aruntomar> mickster04: when i open some other application its a bit slow
[12:19] <Pythack> ?
[12:19] <zebuduflea> im copying from windows to vmware box
[12:19] <aruntomar> and if it's caching then basically i would like to know or get the info about how much caching it's doing etc etc, how can i change those settings
[12:19] <mickster04> aruntomar, do u have the system monitor in the task ar?
[12:20] <arias> hello! what would be the easiest way to create a new account with the same permissions/groups/sudo access as the user created during installation? i'd like to create a new one
[12:20] <cowiecow> Alright. Thanks for the help, everyone. I'm going to restart now and hope for the best. *prays*
[12:20] <aruntomar> mickster04: i used top and gnome-monitor for the memory usage
[12:21] <GPL> After installing the radeonhd driver, when i run this command 'cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep "Direct rendering enabled"' it says "(II) RADEON(0): Direct rendering enabled" :( , it should say RADEONHD(0) | please help, :( how to rectify this problem ?
[12:21] <mickster04> well u should notice a difference between used ram and cached ram, on mine i have one colour for each an the ram looks full but with two colours:D

[12:22] <odahilys> Hello
[12:22] <aruntomar> mickster04: i guess u r using gnome-monitor
[12:22] <mickster04> yeah
[12:22] <odahilys> Can anyone help me? I am trying to install 9.04 on my laptop
[12:22] <aruntomar> mickster04: the other color is for swap
[12:23] <odahilys> i formatted drive C:/ through MS-DOS
[12:23] <odahilys> now it gives me an error saying "Input/output error during read on /dev/sda"
[12:23] <odahilys> when i try to install ubuntu on my hdd
[12:23] <mickster04> aruntomar,  no on memory usage, there are several options one of which is chache?
[12:24] <odahilys> anyone help me please
[12:24] <axle> hey
[12:24] <odahilys> im osless on my laptop
[12:24] <axle> whats wrong?
[12:24] <axle> oh
[12:24] <odahilys> I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.04
[12:24] <axle> k
[12:24] <odahilys> I had vista
[12:24] <axle> you put the disk
[12:24] <leaf-sheep> axle: Say something.
[12:24] <axle> then boot from it
[12:24] <leaf-sheep> axle: Say my name.
[12:24] <odahilys> I formatted C:\ through ms-dos
[12:24] <axle> click next
[12:24] <leaf-sheep> !ops | axle (Bot)
[12:24] <odahilys> it gives me an error
[12:24] <teky7> hi
[12:25] <axle> what error?
[12:25] <MadGirl> i heard error was very descriptive alecs, unless you paste code, we can't say much more
[12:25] <odahilys> One sec
[12:25] <odahilys> recreating
[12:25] <axle> lol
[12:25] <odahilys> "Input/output error during read on /dev/sda"
[12:25] <elky> axle, bots lol now?
[12:25] <mickster04> odahilys, do you install from the menu? you have the option to format during installation?
[12:26] <axle> umm, you must have me confused with another axle
[12:26] <odahilys> i click cancel through it and it finally shows "The creation of swap space in partition #5 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) failed."
[12:26] <odahilys> installed from menu
[12:26] <axle> ic, so it fails during partitioning?
[12:26] <leaf-sheep> >_>
[12:26] <odahilys> i couldnt do anything before, vista prevented me from turning my computer on
[12:26] <mickster04> odahilys, well if u click cancel of course it fails?
[12:26] <odahilys> i tried ignore and retry as well
[12:26] <odahilys> still fails
[12:26] <elky> leaf-sheep, please do not abuse the ops command like that. axle does not appear to be a bot to me.
[12:27] <mickster04> vista cant do that?
[12:27] <mickster04> odahilys, vista cant do that?
[12:27] <odahilys> Yes it
[12:27] <odahilys> can
[12:27] <odahilys> Its vista
[12:27] <odahilys> lol
[12:27] <FloodBot2> odahilys: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:27] <odahilys> D:>
[12:27] <mickster04> odahilys, if you couldnt turn it on there is something else which is the problem?
[12:27] <odahilys> It turns on
[12:27] <odahilys> but when i try to go to bios
[12:27] <bazhang> MadGirl, ubuntu
[12:27] <MadGirl> i guess ubuntu is the one for me. good luck all.
[12:27] <axle> it fails when you try to partition right?
[12:27] <odahilys> the vista takes over
[12:27] <odahilys> yes
[12:27] <axle> are you booting from the cd?
[12:28] <axle> kk
[12:28] <odahilys> yes
[12:28] <odahilys> good ol' iso
[12:28] <axle> are you erasing the old partition?
[12:28] <odahilys> burned at x12
[12:28] <odahilys> yes
[12:28] <odahilys> i formatted the old partion
[12:28] <odahilys> partition*
[12:28] <axle> i thought partitioning failed?
[12:28] <odahilys> on ubuntu seems as if, but not through MS-DOS
[12:29] <odahilys> The formatting went fine through that
[12:29] <Myrtti> odahilys: please keep your answers in one line
[12:29] <Zzeiss> odahilys: stupid question: did you run the "check the disk for errors" bit when you booted the burned CDRom?
[12:29] <Vailor> how do i reg my name if thats possible?
[12:29] <odahilys> Yes, of course. CD is fine
[12:30] <mickster04> odahilys, so how do u go about formatting it? have you made a / partition too?
[12:30] <Zzeiss> odahilys: and then it loads the install kernel, goes thru configuration just fine, and fails to repartition the disk?
[12:30] <mickster04> odahilys, also how much ram have u got?
[12:31] <odahilys> yes @ zzeiss
[12:31] <Zzeiss> odahilys: You might want to just do "take default partitioning" and see if that works.  It will destroy anything on the disk, but it might fix the problem...
[12:31] <odahilys> @ mick ; 4gb
[12:31] <mickster04> odahilys, u dont need swap then
[12:33] <mickster04> odahilys, but try the default option anyway:D
[12:34] <odahilys> Trying
[12:34] <arisa> hello again! another quick question...how would i add a new user to a successive series of groups from the console?

[12:44] <dca_> mickster04,  mine is dell inspiron 1420
[12:45] <mickster04> remoteCTR1, well seeing as no one is responding yet im just suggesting ways in which you might find help....
[12:45] <mickster04> dca_, and what version of ubuntu?
[12:45] <dca_> mickster04, 9.04 and when i was using 8.10 i didnt had this issue.
[12:46] <mickster04> dca_, NBR?
[12:46] <dca_> mickster04, i didnt get u, sorry
[12:46] <birger> kickass! puttying from my iphone to ssh :D
[12:47] <mickster04> dca_, well 9.04 comes in three "flavours" desktop, server and notebookremix
[12:47] <dca_> mickster04, desktop
[12:47] <mickster04> Netbookremix*
[12:48] <mickster04> dca_, hmm, im not really sure then....
[12:48] <dca_> mickster04, any pointers where i could help on this
[12:49] <mickster04> dca_, not from me :/ sorry
[12:49] <kiaas_> yay broken flash D: sounds like it's freezing but the video plays smoothly. the same fraction of a second playing repeatedly instead of continuing on :/
[12:50] <mickster04> kiasas what has happened that might have broken it?
[12:50] <dca_> mickster04, thanks
[12:51] <mickster04> dca_, sorry
[12:51] <kiaas_> mickster04, I dunno. I have one plugin, disabled, and long uptime. It used to happen once every few months, this is the 4th time this month.
[12:52] <mickster04> oh well thats wierd, you using the latest flash player
[12:52] <kiaas_> mickster04, up to date,so if the latest is in the repos, then yes.
[12:53] <mickster04> kiaas_, hmm no idea then :/ i'm good for basic stuff, but if its sporadic like that...:/
[12:56] <kiaas_> mickster04, I've had other problems recently. Gnome losing its theme, firefox crashing, X crashing, then the system locking up but no kernel panic... wondering if it's bad RAM, actually. But flash repeating the same fraction of a second for the entire audio is a pretty odd bug, and I don't encounter it when I run the windows version of flash and firefox under WINE.(I just get a bit of shearing on the video with that)
[12:56] <Alexia> would anyone mind to check that this page loads ok http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/20860/
[12:57] <nibbler> Alexia:  loads here
[12:57] <Alexia> thanks nibbler
[12:58] <Alexia> nibbler, did you base your name on the futurama character Nibbler?
[12:59] <nibbler> Alexia: yes
[12:59] <Alexia> nibbler, I love that show
[12:59] <mickster04> loaded for me too
[12:59] <Alexia> nibbler, well i better not talk about it or they will ask me to move to offtopic lol
[12:59] <Alexia> mickster04, thanks
[12:59] <nibbler> Alexia: love it too, but yep... back to ubuntu :)
[13:01] <Alexia> I cant believe how quiet it is in here right now
[13:02] <kiaas_> It happens.
[13:03] <Alexia> does ubuntu have any User Interface guidelines like mac does?
[13:03] <Kingsy102> I have a process on my desktop now that isnt responding how do you crash out of it ?
[13:03] <Alexia> Kingsy102, alt+f2 xkill
[13:04] <Kingsy102> thanks
[13:04] <Alexia> yw
[13:04] <Ubersoldat> Alexia: Ubuntu perse no, but KDE and GNOME do have UIGs
[13:05] <Alexia> does gnome stand for gnu is not the only mac emulator
[13:05] <Alexia> lol
[13:05] <LordMetroid> Wow ubuntu is developing an app store of their own, I think this is great
[13:06] <LordMetroid> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareStore?action=show&redirect=AppCenter if you want to influence how it will be designed I recommend you go to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/18538/
[13:06] <grawity> Alexia: Ubuntu doesn't have its own GUI -- it uses GNOME (or KDE on Kubuntu), and so GNOME's guidelines apply - http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/
[13:06] <Ubersoldat> Alexia: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/
[13:06] <Alexia> LordMetroid, Yep its definitely exciting
[13:06] <Alexia> Thanks graw and Uber
[13:06] <loop8> when the screensaver is activated with password protection, is there any way a potential attacker could gain control over the computer without having the password and *without* restarting the computer? does CTRL+ALT+<- work?
[13:06] <onexused> Alexia: Gnu Network Object Model Environment or something
[13:06] <Alexia> onexused, i know i was just being silly
[13:07] <onexused> Alexia: Ah.  I must be tired : )
[13:07] <Alexia> loop8, not that i know of
[13:07] <grawity> loop8: Yes, you can switch virtual consoles with Ctrl-Alt-F1/F2/F3/...
[13:07] <grawity> loop8: But they also require a password.
[13:08] <loop8> grawity: yup, they also require a password.
[13:08] <Alexia> loop8, but there are probably exploits for remote access via a network interface, no system is ever 100% secure
[13:08] <LordMetroid> Alexia, I think this can be a big break-through for the Ubuntu userbase, specially if they allow commercial software repositories to be added
[13:09] <Alexia> LordMetroid, I think so too, it will be nice to see it when it opens. I hope it will be somewhat like the appstore on the i-phone
[13:09] <LordMetroid> I hope it will be better
[13:09] <LordMetroid> I want it decentralized
[13:10] <Ubersoldat> first thing I will uninstall
[13:10] <Alexia> LordMetroid, oh you mean not controlled by just one authority?
[13:10] <LordMetroid> Yes
[13:10] <Ubersoldat> I just hope it's made with mono, that way I'll purge'em alltogether
[13:10] <LordMetroid> I added two suggestion on how to do this in the brainstorm page
[13:10] <Alexia> LordMetroid, i wonder if it will end up being like download.com in an application
[13:11] <Ubersoldat> s/altogether/alltogether
[13:12] <axle> hey
[13:12] <mickster04> hi
[13:12] <Alexia> i still dont really understand what makes it different from synaptic though
[13:12] <kiaas_> Alexia, probably a means to pay for it built in.
[13:12] <zopiac> for some reason only one program can use audio at once, for some reason (or something) is there a fix?
[13:13] <Alexia> kiaas_, well if it ends up offering commercial linux software all in one place that will be great
[13:13] <no0tic> hienvh, I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 on a HP mini 2133, I created a bootable usb stick with unetbootin but I can't boot from it on the netbook, what could the problem be?
[13:13] <Alexia> kiaas_, but if its just another download manager it would be a waste of time
[13:14] <onexused> zopiac: ALSA programs dont' do that.  Only old OpenSoundSystem (OSS) programs do, afaik.
[13:14] <NeXstaR> struggling to upgrade / update openoffice 3.0 to 3.1 :(
[13:14] <Alexia> no0tic, did you set the computer to load from usb in the bios?
[13:14] <no0tic> Alexia, yes
[13:14] <zopiac> like, if i open rhythmbox, i can hear it, but if i open audacity after it i cant hear it, and vice versa
[13:14] <Alexia> no0tic, how far do you get? does it load at all?
[13:14] <no0tic> hienvh, sorry, I meant "hi" :)
[13:15] <zopiac> onexused: well i have my sound preferences set to ALSA...
[13:15] <no0tic> Alexia, no, it doesn't load from usb, it boots directly into the installed grub
[13:16] <hienvh> no0tic, hehe its ok,hello you too :)
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  on my netbooks i got to hit F12 to tell it to boot from USB
[13:16] <Alexia> no0tic, have you tried recreating the bootdisk again? or a seperate bootable usb?
[13:16] <zopiac> Alexia, no0tic: i have tried esc on an eeePC to get it working
[13:16] <no0tic> Dr_Willis, on this one is F9, and I told it to boot from usb
[13:16] <Alexia> zopiac, Oh i didnt know that netbooks required you to do that,, Thanks
[13:16] <Dr_Willis>   no0tic  ive also had issues with some machines and usb flash drive combox in the past. Try the flash on other machines, and try other flash disks on that machine.
[13:17] <zopiac> some might, i dont know if all do though
[13:17] <Alexia> zopiac, for telling me
[13:17] <GPL> how to restore Ubuntu into its factory settings ?? well, i think i messed up with Radeon and RadeonHD, and now when i login, a White Screen comes and overlaps/hiding everything xcept the mouse :( cant do anything ? how to get over this situation ???
[13:17] <no0tic> Alexia, I first tried copying the iso with dd directly on the device, nothing. then using unetbootin and the iso I downloaded, nothing. then unetbooting making it download the iso from its menu
[13:18] <Alexia> zopiac, im suprised there isnt a page about that on the ubuntu netbook remix website
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  You did partition/format the device back fo fat16 after trying to dd it with that iso?
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  you could also try the ubuntu netbook remix img and 'dd' it to the device.
[13:18] <no0tic> Dr_Willis, no
[13:18] <Alexia> what does dd mean? deliver to disk?
[13:18] <no0tic> Dr_Willis, the remix release is know not to work well on this hardware
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  i would use gparted to repartition/format it back to a sane state then try unetbootin again.
[13:18] <zopiac> Alexia: i found it out on the easy peasy irc, iirc
[13:19] <Alexia> zopiac, lol
[13:19] <Alexia> zopiac, Well Gawlee lol
[13:19] <Alexia> zopiac, lol i still cant believe people ever talked like that rofl
[13:19] <no0tic> Dr_Willis, ok, I'll try.. strange thing is that the netbook doesn't even tell me that the usb disk is not bootable
[13:20] <s1> hi, does apache2 have a lockfile or something?
[13:20] <s1> it complains not being able to bind to port 80
[13:21] <s1> but when I check with netstat nothing comes up as being bound to :80
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> no0tic:  dding an iso file to a flash drive may confuse all sorts of things.
[13:25] <gangil> I have a .cue file , does anyone know which application opens it?
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  no .bin to go with it?
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> cue/bin = a  optical disk 'image' format.
[13:26] <gangil> yeah .bin too
[13:26] <llutz> gangil: cdrdao
[13:26] <gangil> Brasero Disc Burner?
[13:26] <gangil> will that work?
[13:26] <distant_voice> hallo, my sound effects are much too low and I can't turn it up (the mixer has no effect). what's wrong?
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> theres tools that can mount it, or you can burn it. k3b i think canburn them also. Or covnert it to ISO then most anything can burn it.
[13:26] <Glib> Can anyone give me update simple instruction on getting online via a cable modem witht he latest version of Ubuntu Desktop please?
[13:26] <GPL> how to restore Ubuntu into its factory settings ?? well, i think i messed up with Radeon and RadeonHD, and now when i login, a White Screen comes and overlaps/hiding everything xcept the mouse :( cant do anything ? how to get over this situation ??? help
[13:27] <mobi-sheep> reload
[13:27] <Glib> Just need to set up a connection.  is there a wizard at all?
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  you could try removeing/moving the /etc/X11/xorg.conf  to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.GOOFEDUP and restatrt X and see if that kicks it in the head. :) Or check out the fix X feature thats in the recovery boot menu (never tried that)
[13:28] <Glib> Nobody?
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  my cable modem.. i just plug the network cable into the pc.. set pc to use DHCP and away it goes.
[13:28] <Glib> "set pc to use dhcp"
[13:28] <IonutB> how can i update my gnome from 2.24.1 to 2.26.1 ( i'm using Ubuntu 8.10 )
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  or Plug it into my router.. and pcs to the router.
[13:28] <llutz> Glib: sudo dhclient eth0
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> DHCP is the default i belive also.
[13:29] <Glib> Yup, tried that command, no leases obtained.
[13:29] <distant_voice> can anybody help with my sound problems?
[13:29] <sybux> hi again !
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  does it work in windows? did it work with a different machine? has it ever worked?
[13:29] <GPL> Dr_Willis: actually i already tried that, problem is, it logins well, but after about 13/14 seconds , when the wallpaper and panels all get visible, a white screen comes up and hides everything :(
[13:29] <Glib> Windows just works.
[13:29] <Glib> Yeah, windows works fine, no problems./
[13:29] <sybux> can someone know how to display a text file in shell in color ?
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  make a new user see if it affects them. Does the GDM login screen work?
[13:29] <Glib> I'm using the connection to connect to this chat room.
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  theres 'colorizing' tools  out there depending on your needs.
[13:30] <boscop> hey, I can't see my windows partition :(
[13:30] <GPL> Dr_Willis: it's affecting all the users, it's something related with radeonhd the driver i installed and then restarted my comp.
[13:30] <sybux> Dr_Willis: I just want to cat a file and see the result in color
[13:30] <Glib> The network card in the ubuntu box works fine - it can be connected to the hub and see other LAN machines just fine, using the same cable.
[13:30] <mickster04> distnhave you made sure every available slider is turned up? including the ones not shown by default?
[13:31] <Glib> You'd think there'd be step by step instructions somewhere online for this.
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  then you just print out some color  'escape' code or put it at the start of the text file.
[13:31] <sybux> Dr_Willis: I've try t insert ansi code in my text file but ot dosen't work
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  the 'bash prompt howto' has some info on those codes.
[13:31] <gangil> I have used magic ISO , I dont want to burn the s/w to a disc , can't I browse it directly from BRasero and install it?
[13:31] <mickster04> distant_voice,  you made sure every available slider is turned up? including the ones not shown by default?
[13:31] <GPL> Dr_Willis: i even dont know, how to get on the CUI interface of Ubuntu, to try configuring the driver a bit
[13:31] <distant_voice> mickster04: it worked before and now it doesn't. every slider is at max, but they don't seem to have any effect
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  so the gdm login screen dosent work either then you are saying?
[13:32] <mickster04> distant_voice, what has changed inbetween?
[13:32] <IonutB> Dr_Willis, do you know how can update Gnome 2.24.1 to 2.26.1 ? ( it's appears as the latest in my Package Manager )
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> IonutB:  use thepacakge manger to upgrade/update - is the normal way...
[13:32] <distant_voice> mickster04: nothing, I might have installed updates, but that would be all
[13:32] <Glib> Nobody then?
[13:32] <IonutB> Dr_Willis, i have Ubuntu 8.10 :)
[13:32] <GPL> Drwillis : actually yes, GDM login screen works
[13:32] <boscop> what can I do to make my windows partition show up?
[13:32] <Glib> Seems like a farely elementary problem.
[13:32] <gangil> :-/
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  hmmm.. it Could be a compiz issue.. You could try installing icewm (for example) and see if you can select that at GDM and login properly
[13:33] <mickster04> distant_voice, what sliders have you got up? and what system are you using?
[13:33] <Glib> Windows has Internet connection wizards and stuff, so that people don't have to become experts int he operating system to do somethign as simple as get online.
[13:33] <distant_voice> mickster04: I can change the master volume with keys on my keyboard. that new graphic (the one that was new with 9.04) comes up but it has absolutely no effect.
[13:33] <GPL> Dr_Willis: how to do that ?
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  i think you need to dig a little more into trouble shooting. It sounds like it may just be a DHCP/DNS/gateway issue.
[13:33] <distant_voice> I'm on ubuntu/gnome 9.04
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  'sudo apt-get install icewm' then restart X/GDM and select icewm at the login screen
[13:33] <Glib> IN what sense?
[13:34] <GPL> Dr_Willis: i am logged in with a Live USB
[13:34] <Glib> I mean, I plug the cable into the windows box - works, plug it into the linux box - doesnt.
[13:34] <_tj> how can I tell if i can SSH into my box from outside the network?
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  try pinging google.com, then try pinging its  IP#. is a good 'test'
[13:34] <Glib> It's brand spanking fresh instal.
[13:34] <Glib> I've done that.
[13:34] <bradh79> i cant get my ubuntu to display colour on my pal crt tv :(
[13:34] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  ah...  you dident say you were switching machines.. :) i thouhg you were dual booting
[13:34] <Glib> sudo dhcpd eth0 offers no lease.
[13:34] <bradh79> windows7 displays colour but ubuntu wont
[13:34] <tillk> #ubuntu
[13:34] <mickster04> distant_voice, wat pc/laptop?
[13:35] <Glib> No, 2 machines.
[13:35] <bradh79> neither will opensuse for that matter
[13:35] <Boohbah> _tj: by doing it
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  on my OLD isp. each time i changed machines i HAD to go to a special 'activate this machine' Web site to get the  machine 'ok'd for my isp
[13:35] <IonutB> Dr_Willis, do you know if intel x3100 still has problems on Ubuntu 9.04 ?
[13:35] <bradh79> i have a 7600gt video card
[13:35] <_tj> eh
[13:35] <_tj> i dont have a way..
[13:35] <distant_voice> my sound card is on board, it's a normal desktop pc
[13:35] <Glib> That isn't required in this instance.
[13:35] <Boohbah> _tj: how about connecting to your public IP?
[13:35] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  Not sure if thats your issue or not.  Its one of the reasons i got a router. less hassles.
[13:35] <distant_voice> Athlon 3800+, Nvidia graphics card, 2GB ram... what do you want to know?
[13:35] <kiran_> hello anyone can inform whether linux mint support ntfs system
[13:36] <Glib> I'm seting up this ubuntu machien to be a router/firewall.
[13:36] <IdleOne> !mint
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> kiran_:  mosta ll distros do these days.
[13:36] <GPL> Dr_Willis: is there some way, to get in the CUI ?
[13:36] <Boohbah> kiran_: yes
[13:36] <mickster04> distant_voice, thatll do
[13:36] <sybux> Dr_Willis: I can't find what I need. I just want to display the motd in color (not all, only some parts)
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> gpl the grub menu has a rescue/recvovery option normally
[13:36] <mickster04> distant_voice, i basically have little idea....
[13:36] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  then you will have to  figure out how to embed some escape codes.
[13:36] <GPL> Dr_Willis: thanks, i ll be back shortly
[13:37] <distant_voice> too bad. I can hear sound, but it's very faint. sometimes when I boot it's normal, other times it's like this
[13:37] <distant_voice> this is frustrating
[13:37] <mickster04> distant_voice, sorry
[13:37] <Glib> Is there really no a step by step guide somewhere?
[13:37] <distant_voice> mickster04 thx anyway
[13:37] <Glib>   People are exptected to just know?
[13:37] <sybux> Dr_Willis: I've embed escape code but cat display escape code in stead of color :(
[13:37] <mickster04> distant_voice, is there a program u run that may effect the sound? or have some control over it?
[13:37] <Glib> This is why windows kicks linuxes ass.
[13:37] <llutz> Glib: there are only 2. steps: "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" and "sudo dhclient eth0"
[13:38] <IdleOne> Glib: why not state your issue, tell us what you have tried and stop your whining
[13:38] <distant_voice> do you think maybe movie player might screw my mixer up?
[13:38] <IdleOne> for ranting and raving about windows please go to ##windows
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> Glib:  you might also need to power off for a few sec.. the cable modem while switching machines.
[13:38] <mickster04> distant_voice, try and make sure that the volume is turned up on that when you close it see if that has an effect yes in other words
[13:38] <Glib> Erm, why not be so rude, and notice that I have been stating the issue.
[13:38] <distant_voice> you know that new thingy in the upper right corner that displays stuff like "new mail" and also the volume and stuff?
[13:38] <Boohbah> Glib: because you can't figure out how to use it?
[13:39] <distant_voice> when i try to turn the volume up with my keyboard keys it comes up and the slider changes but the volume doesn't
[13:39] <Glib> what because I can't figure out how to use it?
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  perhaps check -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/adding-colors-to-your-motd-105038/
[13:39] <distant_voice> that makes me thing something more basic is wrong
[13:39] <arvind_k> !unet | arvind_k
[13:39] <distant_voice> *think
[13:39] <IdleOne> Glib: I'm not scrolling back 2000 lines you need help then ask us again, politely
[13:40] <Glib> I don't need your help idleone, you're rude, leave me alone.
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> a pastebin summary of the entire setup is often helpfull also.
[13:40] <mickster04> distant_voice, no idae then, try manually doing it if u can to see if that works?
[13:40] <bazhang> Glib, please be civil
[13:40] <t__Eest> I try install a gl 2.0.1 but at the end I give Connection Reset by Peer(10054) if I connect outside the ftp on local all work fine
[13:40] <t__Eest> any help?
[13:40] <distant_voice> ya I tried, but to no avail
[13:40] <IdleOne> Glib: good luck. you can't get your machine online but it's going to be a router/firewall :)
[13:40] <distant_voice> mickster04, well, I'm outta here. thank you
[13:40] <Glib> I have been entirely civil.  That's the guy who just told me I was whinning.
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> sybux:   also rember the motd is generated on the fly at boot time. You may need to set up rc.local to 'remake it properly' wity your color codes
[13:40] <arvind_k> !net
[13:40] <bazhang> Glib, please restate your issue
[13:41] <steve_> distant_voice have you tried changing the device that the keyboard is controlling in admin--> sound prefferances?
[13:41] <arvind_k> !install
[13:41] <bazhang> arvind_k, /msg ubottu please
[13:41] <hadi-fa3or> .org
[13:41] <arvind_k> bazhang, sorry
[13:41] <sybux> Dr_Willis: it's just for personalized motd .
[13:42] <Glib> I have a machine running Ubuntu Desktop 9.04 - an entirely fresh instal - when I plug it into the LAN hub, it can see other machines, when I unplug it from the hub, and into the cable modem, I do not get online, even though the cable connection works fine on a windows machine, as evidence by connection to this chat room.,
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  i followed that url i just posted and made a little 'colortest' file that was colorized using cat. :)
[13:42] <ikonia> Glib: you'll probably have to setup the modem authentication
[13:42] <Critical_Threat> running ubuntu 7.10, i changed my 'computer' icon manually and used icon themes for the rest. when i change my icon theme,. the computer icon doesn't change with it. how do i fix it?
[13:42] <Glib> sudo dhclient eth0 has no luck in finding a lease.
[13:43] <Glib> What do you mean by that?
[13:43] <ikonia> Glib: few modems will just plugin and work, you'll have to setup the authentication most probabably
[13:43] <Glib> ikonia
[13:43] <llutz> ikonia: not with cable-modems
[13:43] <Glib> What do you mean by that?
[13:43] <ikonia> Glib: when you connect to your ISP it normally wants a username/password to verify you are allowed to use the connection
[13:43] <kiran_> HOW to install metacity themes
[13:43] <Xerran> Question, is it necessary to shutdown running programs before running updates?
[13:43] <t__Eest> can someone help me with Connection Reset by Peer(10054) ?
[13:43] <sybux> Dr_Willis: yep me too. just have to find now how to write it as I want and not in command line !
[13:43] <cryptobeacon> Xerran: no
[13:43] <Glib> Okay, and where to entire that username and password?
[13:43] <bazhang> Xerran, no
[13:43] <ikonia> Xerran: you'll be warned if it's a problem
[13:43] <llutz> ikonia: authentication is done inside modem (cable-isp uses modem-MAC)
[13:43] <Critical_Threat> ikonia, that's usually for DLS modems though
[13:43] <Xerran> cryptobeacon: thx
[13:44] <Critical_Threat> ikonia, is that what he using ?
[13:44] <ikonia> Critical_Threat: while I agree, this is worth checking
[13:44] <Xerran> ikonia: thx
[13:44] <Glib> Yeah, I never needed to do that for the windows machine.
[13:44] <Xerran> bazhang: thx
[13:44] <Glib> for dial-up sure, but this is cable.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  make rc.local 'generate' the motd at boot time with the proper commands.. working with the escape/color codes can be a real annoyance.
[13:44] <Critical_Threat> ikonia, yes it is
[13:44] <bazhang> Glib, are you hot plugging the cable modem line? or starting with it plugged in already
[13:44] <Glib> I never entered any passwords or did any authentication for windows.
[13:44] <Glib> Hot plugging.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. My ISP  dosent have a username/pass :) well not for the pc conecting..
[13:45] <ikonia> Glib: ok - so lets move away from the authentication area as a problem
[13:45] <Critical_Threat> this sucks, i gotta jet for work now.. argh. :(
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> BUt i do have to power off the cable modem if i change machines I recall.
[13:45] <Boohbah> Critical_Threat: irc from work!
[13:45] <bazhang> Glib, and have you tried starting up with the cable modem connected, ie not hot plugging?
[13:45] <sybux> Dr_Willis: the fact is that I've got a plain text to write and just add some part in color and I don't want to type all text with echo "bla bla bla" > ...
[13:45] <Critical_Threat> Boohbah, as do i :) see ya there
[13:45] <Glib> I'll give it a go, brb.
[13:45] <b3rz3rk3r> anyone else with jaunty having their sound die on them randomly? Iv got two very different machines both running it, and its happening to both. Only common factor between them is ALSA.. restarting ALSA doesnt solve it, but reboot the machines does. Suggestions?
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  use sed/awk/perl to alter the file i guess...
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> sybux:  or do it once... save it to a file where it works..  Good luck.. personally I  do 'touch .hushlogin' so i never even see teh MOTD. :)
[13:46] <sybux> Dr_Willis: good answer. Thx
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> Tip of the Day  'touch .hushlogin'  and no more annoying MOTD. :)
[13:46] <Rabbitbunny> Anyone using the package alarm-clock that has had it actually make a repeating noise at a specified time?
[13:47] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, yeah, im using it, works alright
[13:47] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, having issues?
[13:48] <gangil> one more thing , how to append $PATH variable , and make the change permanent?
[13:48] <gangil> I mean the .bashrc thing?
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  path is defined in the users .profile i think
[13:48] <ulb> can you add a text only (no icon) launcher to the panel?
[13:48] <llutz> PATH="$PATH:/new/path/var"
[13:48] <gangil> sorry , I dont rem correctly :)
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  well at the end.. it adds bin to the path. :) you could alter that and add more to it there.
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  export PATH="$PATH:/new/path/var"
[13:49] <buch> hi.. anyone tired of bad flash preformance? I found this (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1193567), under the section "Flash Replacements".. Can anyone help me reprogram it to function with Gnome-Mplayer. And make it work with every swf, mpg - flash stuff that is around?
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  is one way.. if in .profile i dont ththink the export is needed.
[13:49] <Rabbitbunny> b3rz3rk3r: Yes, I haven't heard it once, and when I do wake up it isn't making any noise. The first thing I did was play a song, which works perfectly. I have it set to constant volume, infinite repetitions. No sound coming out.
[13:49] <gangil> to make this permanent , I should add it to .profile?
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> gangil:  yes.. or .bashrc
[13:50] <Lord_Devi> sed question: "sed -i -e 's/ChangeThis/ToThisFoo' Bar.txt" is great for quickly searching and replacing within files, but what if "ChangeThis" occurs twice on the same line? Sed will only replace the first occurance on any given line, is there an easy way to make it replace all occurances found?
[13:50] <Rabbitbunny> b3rz3rk3r: I'm very hard of hearing / working two jobs, It's very important that's it's loud, annoying, and repetative.
[13:50] <maodun> To play an mp3, I typically type 'mplayer foo.mp3'. Now I want to output the sound to /dev/dsp1 - how can I do that with mplayer?
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> Lord_Devi:  i recall some sed faq/examples pages  mentioning that .. but  thats all i rember on teh topic. :()
[13:51] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, i dont use inf repeat, so maybe that is causing you problems? I have maxed out volume, playing a song by machinehead with a full passive window overlay, been waking up to it for about 4-5 months now
[13:51] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, try cranking the volume and playing a longer song once instead
[13:52] <Rabbitbunny> b3rz3rk3r: M'kay, that could work. Thanks.
[13:52] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, no prob
[13:53] <sicked> i need some help for installing Joomla.. can you help me????
[13:53] <talntid> heh. i just did that
[13:53] <nsahoo> is there any builtin method to access desktop of another ubuntu machine?
[13:53] <talntid> nsahoo, remote desktop
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:   yes. :) its built in.. ;)
[13:53] <nsahoo> talntid: isn't that only to access windows method?
[13:53] <arvind_k> Lord_Devi, there is global flag, i guess g, read the man pages
[13:53] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, you could also try something irritating too.. such as police siren sound effects or the frog on his motorbike ringtone :p
[13:53] <nsahoo> talntid: windows machine
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  using the remote-desktop over the internet - is proberly not a good idea. its using vnc thats not very secure.
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  there are vnc clients/servers for windows also.
[13:54] <Rabbitbunny> b3rz3rk3r: I used a car alarm before.
[13:54] <sicked> Guys can you help me with Joomla?
[13:54] <b3rz3rk3r> Rabbitbunny, haha, nice
[13:54] <sicked> i don't know how to install it
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> !info joomla
[13:54] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: what is terminal server client tool for?
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  about the same thing i think. Ive only used vnc.
[13:54] <sicked> i'm on windows actually
[13:54] <Lord_Devi> arvind_khadri: hrm. sg/foo/bar/ then maybe? Thanks, I'll try it I guess
[13:54] <sicked> i just need someone who explains me how to install it
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> sicked:  i wonder if anyone in here even knows what it is.
[13:55] <nsahoo> talntid: Dr_Willis: so, what do I need to do on the remote ubuntu machine?
[13:55] <b3rz3rk3r> nsahoo, id say use SSH, or if you want something like VNC/RDP use FreeNX.. i like that too, its based on SSH too. check it out
[13:55] <sicked> Dr_Willis: Windows or Joomla?? :)
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  system->preferances->remote_desktop
[13:55] <boscop> anyone knows how I can get my windows partition show up in ubuntu?
[13:55] <Lord_Devi> arvind_khadri: Aha!  "s/foo/bar/g" =) I see I see, thanks again
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:   then on the other box use a vnc viweer and tell it the ip/port of the ubuntu box. <IP_ADDRESS>:0   (or similer)
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> Lord_Devi:  Hmm.. I use that all the time in vi. :)
[13:56] <arvind_khadri> Lord_Devi, np , :)
[13:56] <ulb> can you add a text only (no icon) launcher to the panel?
[13:56] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: thanks, is there a command name to launch that preference window? remote machine is remote now
[13:57] <Lord_Devi> Dr_Willis: I use s/foo/bar/ all the time in vi, but I've never bothered to figure out that global flag yet..
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  Not that i know of. You got to be on the local box and logged in for it to get enabled..
[13:57] <zopiac> is there a program to move the mouse with the arrow keys? my touchpad s broken
[13:57] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: vino-preferences
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  as an alterantive you can ssh in, install a vncserver, and configure it.. but that does NOT share the 'current running
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  as an alterantive you can ssh in, install a vncserver, and configure it.. but that does NOT share the 'current running desktop
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> vino >hic< ;)
[13:58] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: turns out the ssh server is not runnin there either .. oh well
[13:58] <talntid> or, run the programs via ssh -X ;)
[13:58]  * Dr_Willis wonders at these names of some of these commands...
[13:58] <ulb> and/or can I add another top level menu item (along with apllications, places, and system)?
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  its rather locked down then. :)
[13:58] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: new install
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  its VERY locked down then
[13:58] <thinkertinker> i deleted my files while using fsck. Now i cant boot as files are missing. any ideas to recover?
[13:58] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: thought, i'll go home and "do it from there"
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  :) good idea
[14:00] <nsahoo> btw, does anyone know how to make my router assign a fixed IP to the desktop? like <IP_ADDRESS> all the time
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  using vnc over the internet is not that good an idea. (it will be slow and insecure) better to ssh -X and  run apps and have them appar locally
[14:00] <joaopinto> thinkertinker, fsck does not delete files, the corrupting which forced you do use fsck did
[14:00] <maodun> ok, 'mplayer -ao oss:/dev/dsp1 foo.mp3' outputs to the correct place - but how do I control the volume?
[14:00] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: ok
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  my router has that feature in its configs. :)
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> nsahoo:  i can assign ip based on MAC.  and it rembers.
[14:00] <boscop> my usb-stick doesn't get recognized
[14:00] <b3rz3rk3r> nsahoo, yes, just use the web interface to add your desktops NIC MAC addrs to static
[14:00] <nsahoo> Dr_Willis: i've got this router with fios modem from verizon, doesn't seem to have it
[14:01] <thinkertinker> joaopinto any solutions??
[14:02] <b3rz3rk3r> nsahoo, then you could just set your desktops IP manually and make it a permanent static route in the router
[14:02] <b3rz3rk3r> no MAC required
[14:02] <nsahoo> b3rz3rk3r: hmm
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> then you hear about people every week in here that hagve issues using 'static' ip's and the network manager. :(
[14:02] <zim> hi guys Remote Desktop Q. Can remote desktop connect to a listening server so I can deal with firewall rules my end ?
[14:03] <tim167> hello, how can I turn a text into ascii values, for example turn "this is some text" into: "116;104;105;115;32;105;115;32;115;111;109;101;32;116;101;120;116;" ?? thanks!
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> I used to set static all the time.. but dont need to now.
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> tim167:  a perl script.. or any other language you like.
[14:03] <grawity> tim167: echo "this is some text" | xxd
[14:03] <citrix> after restarting xen host I can't access domU any more by ssh or ping, only xm console is work  I try http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetworking but nothing appear wrong in my  domU

[14:07] <GPL> Dr_Willis: after i removed xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd and compiz, it' started, i didnt install icewm :) i had compiz working with radeon driver, i wanted to check if radeonhd works or not , because i 've X1300/X1550 Series, and acc. to it, RadeonHD shud work | i wanted to switch to radeonhd because i had problems with running OpenGL Rendering Softwares like Hippo OpenSim and Vdrift
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> zim:  ive heard of 'revese vnc' but never used it.
[14:07] <tim167> any other suggestions to turn "this is some text" into "116;104;105;115;32;105;115;32;115;111;109;101;32;116;101;120;116;" (ascii values)?

[14:10] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, have you ensured that your switch is set to on when you booted up today?
[14:10] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, your wireless i mean
[14:10] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: I don't know the first time I booted up, but I know it was when I just booted up
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> GPL:  purge/reinstall the packages - normally

[14:12] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, what colour is your wireless indicator now?
[14:13] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: Blue
[14:13] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, flashing?
[14:13] <bluebaron> where are cached deb files stored
[14:13] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: No, just solid blue
[14:13] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, so card is detected but not sending/receiving
[14:13] <thinkertinker> arand please warn Erilton not to choose the 'use entire disk' option while installation.
[14:13] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: or is the applet not working right?
[14:14] <jonii3> b3rz3rk3r: that same switch and card is used for my bluetooth, wich is working fine
[14:14] <b3rz3rk3r> try this to test that theory:  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[14:14] <jonii3> ok
[14:15] <jonii3> Ignoring unknown interface eth4=eth4.
[14:15] <jonii3> and it didn't restart my computer, if it was supposed to
[14:15] <arand> Erilton: Do take note of thinkertinker's comment there choose "install side by side" and NOT "use whole disk"
[14:16] <b3rz3rk3r> jonii3, no, just your netmanager applet
