[00:04] <aegis> Hey all...  It looks like Ubuntu is falling apart with recent upgrades.  Grub2 can't even see the root directory in LVM anymore.  Completely ruined my system...  Are you guys switching to anything more reliable?
[00:04] <Habstinat> So I found another CD and want to view its contents, but I get this error when putting it in: "Error mounting: mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only

[00:05] <bazhang> enigm4, yes, do the latter not the former
[00:05] <jep1985> ubuntu hardware drivers have a higher chance of working than the ones on nvidia website

[00:34] <Neillithan> jrib: that made my screen turn black and now I have to reboot.
[00:34] <tucemiux> cyphase, hard drives dont last forever, that's why I just bought a new hard drive on my desktop, my 500 gig hard drive worked without problems for about
[00:34] <tucemiux> 5
[00:34] <jrib> Neillithan: what do you mean by "that" in your sentence
[00:34] <cyphase> tucemiux, this drive was manufactures january of this year
[00:34] <tucemiux> for about 5 years
[00:34] <cyphase> manufactured*
[00:34] <Neillithan> "restarting X" whatever that is.
[00:34] <reaperofpoverty> hi, i'm having trouble with my ubuntu 10.10 installation - the main disc freezes at the five dots, and i don't understand some of the options on the alternate cd. if anyone can help talk me through it, would you pm me or join #ubuntu-beginners? I'm a girl if that helps :)
[00:34] <jrib> Neillithan: I didn't tell you to restart X
[00:34] <tucemiux> cyphase, if you bought the hard drive new it should have a one year warranty
[00:34] <cyphase> tucemiux, it was just bad. i've been having problems with it for a while
[00:35] <cyphase> tucemiux, yes, it does
[00:35] <jrib> Neillithan: read the part that talks about configuring screen resolutions (what you asked about)
[00:35] <tucemiux> cyphase, when I was a noob the same thing happened to me with a 100 gig H'
[00:35] <tucemiux> 120 gig hd
[00:35] <tucemiux> i didnt know i could return it and get a new one but now I know, you should get a new one

[00:38] <Neillithan> jrib: I do not have an xorg.conf file
[00:38] <cyphase> anyone have any tips for recovering the data from a drive that's not working due to too many reallocated sectors?
[00:39] <Habstinat> scherbak: The image: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4133/5172843893_114621f592_b.jpg
[00:39] <jrib> Neillithan: you can create one or use one of the two methods mentioned before the one that deals with an xorg.conf I guess
[00:39] <shcherbak> cyphase: back track?

[00:50] <kingb> I've tried dling ubuntu 10.10.iso several times and it always has broken files, how do I fix this?
[00:50] <bazhang> fruity, ask a more substantive question please
[00:50] <cathrin> tsimpson: ok, is the [priv] anything to worry about, consdering its an untrusted and possible malicious user?
[00:50] <jflores> thanks kcj for your recommendations
[00:51] <jb405>  /msg NickServ
[00:51] <Wormik> Hello. I have two questions. Does somebody tried new open source driver for canon LBP2900?

[00:51] <JuJuBee> How do I rm any file that ends in .sql recursively from some starting point?
[00:51] <kingb> I've tried dling ubuntu 10.10.iso several times and it always has broken files, how do I fix this?
[00:51] <tsimpson> cathrin: if it's a malicious user, you should deny them access. other than that, it's not a concern
[00:51] <fruity> So, I want to rip 1 minute from the first chapter of a DVD to a free format.
[00:51] <bazhang> kingb, via the torrent?
[00:51] <jags> kingb, try burning @ 1x speed
[00:52] <Wormik> Second question is bluesoleil. Is this better that blueman in Gnome?
[00:52] <kingb> bazhang: from ubuntu.com
[00:52] <jflores> how can I help... exist someone procedure?
[00:52] <Garandir> How do I upload software to the software center?
[00:52] <Wormik> kingb, torrent, ftp, http, real mail?
[00:53] <bazhang> fruity, to what format, what about h264enc
[00:53] <jflores> or simple say my opinions
[00:53] <lamiska> heya, do you know if there is compression enable in btrfs in maverick?
[00:53] <Wormik> garandir, PPA
[00:53] <kingb> wormik: ubuntu.com
[00:53] <Garandir> Wormik, that doesn't tell me much.
[00:53] <Shabbypenguin> Ok guys ran into a rather serious issue, hoping someone here could help
[00:53] <bazhang> kingb, there are many formats there
[00:53] <fruity> Ogg Video
[00:53] <kingb> bazhang: 10.10 win 32
[00:53] <linxeh> Shabbypenguin: telepathy rocks ;-)
[00:54] <bazhang> !ppa > Garandir
[00:54] <Wormik> garandir, if you can build package, you can make unofficial bubuntu repository using ppa
[00:54] <Shabbypenguin> my system wont load, i had linux mint 9 running and it wouldnt start so i threw ubuntu 10.10 on it did a fresh wipe and still get to same spot, bios posts but no grub
[00:54] <jags> is there some kind of command to check if a program is running, so i can use it in a code statement, meybe something that returns a boolean value?
[00:54] <Wormik> Does anybody use Canon LBP2900 in Linux?
[00:54] <pattrick> Using Ubuntu GNOME, how do I reset my keyboard shortcuts? I cannot "copy" text anymore
[00:54] <bazhang> Garandir, to get upload rights is not a simple task. better think about a PPA
[00:54] <nikitis> Question:  If I have a Ubuntu Host, running an windows xp guest via vmware.  And I VPN into a remote server through the xp guest.  Is there anyway the remote server can monitor my activies on the ubuntu host side of things?  I know they could on the guest.
[00:54] <Shabbypenguin> sorry linxeh, was a long msg on my lil netbook :P
[00:54] <Wormik> What drivers are you use? Proprieraty or open source?
[00:56] <Shabbypenguin> instead all i get is a black screen with what would be a white blinking text prompt except it will not accept any input
[00:56] <Wormik> Pattrick, try to change layouts in Keyboard Settings. apply and undo. It may help
[00:57] <aegis> Does anyone know why my system always wants to upgrade to the pae kernel?  I'm only using 1 GB of ram on a 32 bit system.
[00:57] <thedangler> are their any wireless usb sticks that work with ubuntu that you dont have to jump through hoops to get working?
[00:57] <Shabbypenguin> im asuming its not a hardware failure as i can load up a live cd and mount my hdd and transfer files with no issue
[00:58] <doctorZeus> shabbypenguin, just to eliminate the variable and make sure you're not assuming I would get a hash of the 10.10 disc and make sure it checks out
[00:58] <xangua> aegis: because you installed the pae kernel¿¿ uninstall any traces of it
[00:58] <kingb> why won't it let me choose the ubuntu.iso to turn into a startup disk
[00:58] <kingb> there's something wrong with thiese files
[00:58] <doctorZeus> I've seen bad ISOs act like that on a fresh install
[00:58] <Tecan> bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[00:58] <Tecan> bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
[00:59] <Shabbypenguin> doctorZeus, ok thanks for the tip, but this same thing happened to my installed version, which is why im installing again...
[00:59] <aegis> xangua: I did...  I removed and purged all instances of it... but apt-get install linux-image-server keeps wanting to bring it back...
[01:00] <Wormik> There is svn of new open source driver for canon lbp2900/3000/3200. http://sourceforge.net/projects/foo2capt/ . Can anybody print more that one page using this? I hate proprietary buggy driver from Canon.
[01:00] <Shabbypenguin> under some advice i ran apt-get update and apt-get upgrade from the live cd and returned an error when trying to upgrade the kernel
[01:01] <marcuy> I can't listen to midi sounds on Ubuntu 10.10, any ideas?
[01:01] <aegis> So i can get my system working using a systemrescuecd and chrooting into my system...  grub-update works and everything goes smoothly...  however on restart it still cannot mount / properly.Are there other versions of kernels I can install that don't break LVM2?
[01:01] <Wormik> But I don't know how to use open source driver
[01:01] <Wormik> marcui, you need install midi support in gst
[01:01] <xangua> Shabbypenguin: well i don't think you can't really upgrade the kernel on a live cd, you would need to....restart
[01:02] <Wormik> Or use other distro that have many programs out-the-box
[01:02] <marcuy> Wormik, I've installed midi modules and programs that plays midi but I can't hear anything..
[01:02] <Shabbypenguin> xangua, your correct, told me it was a read only system and thats why it failed, he was looking for more of a try and fix/replace system files
[01:02] <Wormik> Hm
[01:03] <Shabbypenguin> i am beginning to think taht grub is the issue, if it was the OS failing wouldnt grub still load it up?
[01:03] <shcherbak> marcuy: alsamixer?
[01:03] <Wormik> Marcui, I don't remebmer how to fix it in Ubuntu. I have installed this from the beggining
[01:04] <Wormik> shabbypenguin, we need more info
[01:04] <Shabbypenguin> in regards to?
[01:04] <marcuy> shcherbak, volume seems to be ok, I can hear mp3 files but not midi ones
[01:05] <Wormik> marcui, midi is other volume bar
[01:05] <shcherbak> marcuy: midi is differnet type of output, does your sound preff... see application playing midi?
[01:05] <Wormik> marcui, open volume control and set on all
[01:06] <Wormik> Shabbypenguin, I know English bad. GRUB can't load OS?
[01:06] <marcuy> Wormik, shcherbak : it appears to be /dev/dsp on my software settings but how can I test it?
[01:06] <georgey> was muss ich installieren um repo in der bash ausführen zu können?
[01:06] <Shabbypenguin> wormik, its not even that. i turn on the computer bios loads and then black screen
[01:07] <Shabbypenguin> i donteven get to grub
[01:07] <cUP> i cant unzip files with ä, ö, ü in the name
[01:08] <SomeGuy223> my Ambiance theme is broken - the menus aren't dark, the top panel is black text on dark background, the buttons on the bottom panel are light instead of dark.
[01:08] <Wormik> marcui, /dev/dsp is obsolete. This is OSS, it can not play sound from two or more programs in one time. Only something one. OSS have big lug of sound (150), ALSA haven't this troubles
[01:08] <shcherbak> marcuy: first of all ls -l /dev/dsp, so in sound preff.. (last tab) you can see that midi player connects?
[01:09] <Wormik> shabbypenguin, hvat version of distro?
[01:09] <Shabbypenguin> i was on linux mint 9, it crashed and burned. i happened to have a 10.10 ubuntu disc so i loaded up the live cd
[01:09] <marcuy> shcherbak, well, I don't have /dev/dsp on my system :(
[01:09] <Wormik> Shabbypenguin, in 9.10 defauld grub was changed to new grub2. There is new path to fix grub loading
[01:09] <Shabbypenguin> ive "installed" 10.10 3 times now and install goes fine
[01:10] <paddy_> Is it possible to rip bluray drives in 10.10?
[01:10] <SomeGuy223> anyone know how to fix a broken Ambiance theme?
[01:10] <paddy_> *Is it possible to rip bluray movies in 10.10?
[01:10] <Shabbypenguin> wormik, ok so how do i go about fixing grub? i never had anything less then 10.04
[01:11] <Wormik> Shabbypenguin, you need LiveCD of your distro. Load it. Open Console. Type some strings. Grub will work
[01:11] <paddy_> I checked the documentation but has not been updated for 10.10
[01:11] <Wormik> paddy_, yes
[01:11] <shcherbak> can you see (while atempting to play midi) anything in last tab (Application) of Sound Preferences?
[01:11] <SomeGuy223> paddy_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[01:11] <paddy_> Wormik: How difficult is it
[01:11] <Wormik> There is new library for working with bluray.
[01:11] <paddy_> SomeGuy223: that link does not mention 10.10
[01:11] <Shabbypenguin> ok well i have a livecd running right now, with terminal open. is there a place where i could find the commands?
[01:12] <marcuy> shcherbak, the tab on what window?
[01:12] <Wormik> paddy_, I haven't bluray but I read that this is possible in news site
[01:12] <shcherbak> Wormik: bluray? more?
[01:12] <paddy_> Wormik: new as in not in the guide SomeGuy223 reccomended?
[01:12] <shcherbak> marcuy: do you know volume icon on the panel?
[01:13] <Wormik> shabbypenguin, google. First of all, type "cd /dev", Enter "ls sd*". What do you see?
[01:13] <paddy_> Does anyone here have any first hand experience of ripping a comersial bluray movie to disk in an open format at full resolution?
[01:13] <georgey> what packet do I have to install to execute the command repo?
[01:13] <Shabbypenguin> no such file/dir
[01:13] <Wormik> shcherbak, there is new library to work with bluray video
[01:13] <marcuy> shcherbak, ok, last tab is Applications
[01:13] <Shabbypenguin> wormik^

[01:14] <marcuy> shcherbak, previous one "Output"
[01:14] <SomeGuy223> can anyone help with a broken Ambiance theme, either re-installing the theme or some other method?
[01:14] <Wormik> paddy_, crypting algorythm was hacked for month ago
[01:14] <shcherbak> marcuy: try to play something and see if any player connected to sound server
[01:15] <Wormik> Shabbypenguin, cd /dev & ls sd*
[01:15] <paddy_> Wormik: You mean the master HDCP key?
[01:15] <Shabbypenguin> ls
[01:15] <SomeGuy223> paddy_: If you put it into your drive and try to load it in VLC, does it play?
[01:15] <marcuy> shcherbak, mp3 players appear there, but my midi player does not
[01:15] <georgey> dudes I just want to download a source and I need somebodys help... what the heck should I install for executing the command repo?!
[01:15] <Shabbypenguin> wormik, ls returns no such file/directory for sd
[01:15] <Wormik> If you see only sda this is good. If rhere are sda, sdb, sdc and others we need to know what it the drive that contains our OS
[01:16] <paddy_> SomeGuy223: I dont have a bluray drive atm, me buying one is dependent on compatibility with linux
[01:16] <Shabbypenguin> sda does
[01:16] <Wormik> paddy_, yes. I read that there is some library using this
[01:17] <shcherbak> marcuy: what player are you using?
[01:17] <Wormik> georgey, type sudo apt-get build-dep programs_name . After this compile it
[01:17] <shcherbak> marcuy: for midi?
[01:17] <paddy_> Wormik: unfortnaly the master hdcp key being relesed is not going to help (according to intel, who developed the encryption standard)
[01:17] <MdNtSnow> whats the command for viewing permissions of a directory?
[01:17] <marcuy> shcherbak, "virtual midi piano keyboard"
[01:17] <jtannenbaum> Ubuntu keeps opening .zip files with Comix, how do I fix this?
[01:17] <Wormik> Shabbypenguin, hm. * need to be writed too
[01:17] <georgey> but repo is not the name of the program
[01:17] <georgey> it is a command
[01:18] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: ls -l
[01:18] <georgey> you guys should know the repository command..
[01:18] <MdNtSnow> paddy_: cheers
[01:18] <paddy_> jtannenbaum: do you want them opened with archive manager?
[01:18] <shcherbak> marcuy: just in time try to run it with sudo, me - back in 5
[01:18] <SomeGuy223> georgey: are you trying to add a repository to your sources?
[01:18] <Shabbypenguin> ok, i get 10 items in the return wormik, but sda1 is where my ext4 OS is
[01:18] <jtannenbaum> paddy_: yes. but when I go to the Open With... dialog the "Always open with this" checkmark changes nothing
[01:18] <georgey> no i just want to download a source
[01:19] <georgey> for 3 hours
[01:19] <WilliamHerry> how do i set default editor to vim
[01:19] <xangua> source of what georgey¿
[01:19] <georgey> just installed linux for it
[01:19] <marcuy> shcherbak, ok thanks
[01:19] <georgey> android-x86 branch froyo-x86
[01:19] <brad_> am I crazy or did they move menu.lst?
[01:19] <georgey> this source i want
[01:19] <brad_> it used to be in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:19] <xangua> then download it from the android web georgey.........
[01:19] <brad_> and...now I don't have one there (haven't used Ubuntu in a while)
[01:20] <andrew__> Help!  Nvidia can't run the xorg.conf file!  And when I try to run nvidia-settings from the root shell, I get.root@o:/home/andrew# nvidia-settings
[01:20] <andrew__> No protocol specified
[01:20] <andrew__> ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run `nvidia-settings --help` for usage information.
[01:20] <andrew__>
[01:20] <georgey> no they don't offer it
[01:20] <FloodBot3> andrew__: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:20] <georgey> they don't offer the source of the x86 portation of froyo
[01:20] <andrew__> I mean it can't save the file!
[01:20] <paddy_> jtannenbaum: you check the box then select the program and press ok and it still opens with comix?
[01:20] <jtannenbaum> paddy_: yes
[01:20] <georgey> i can get it only with this shit repo command
[01:20] <georgey> by using git
[01:20] <xangua> well then there is nothing anyone here can do for you georgey
[01:20] <SomeGuy223> andrew__: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:20] <xangua> !language  | georgey
[01:20] <scorchgeek> probably you have to download that command from them then?
[01:20] <georgey> no
[01:21] <georgey> sorry
[01:21] <mithridates> my fu*cking habit of Shift+delete removed something very important, how can I recover it? it's just one file and I know the location of that file and it has happened just 5 mins ago
[01:21] <georgey> they offer the source, but not by simple downloading it. they offer it via using a repo command - you guys never used it?
[01:21] <shcherbak> marcuy: are you 10.10?
[01:21] <paddy_> jtannenbaum: do you need comix, it is not realy a fix, but you could try uninstalling comix. please file a bug report on launchpad though
[01:22] <jtannenbaum> I'll try removing it
[01:22] <MdNtSnow> how do i run a program with permissions to write to root directories?
[01:22] <scorchgeek> MdNtSnow: sudo [program] usually
[01:22] <brad_> ahhh, they did remove menu.lst
[01:22] <brad_> and moved it to grub.cfg
[01:22] <jtannenbaum> removing it works
[01:22] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: sudo <command>
[01:22] <OerHeks> georgey who are 'they' ? do you have an URL ?
[01:22] <MdNtSnow> via a launcher
[01:22] <MdNtSnow> not through terminal
[01:22] <trojan_spike> MdNtSnow, sudo nautilus
[01:23] <xangua> google is your friend you know¿ http://source.android.com/source/download.html georgey
[01:23] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: gksudo <command>
[01:23] <andrew__> guys, that's exactly what i need, but it still can't write xorg.conf!!
[01:23] <SomeGuy223> mithridates: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery has a number of programs to try
[01:23] <trojan_spike> gk
[01:23] <paddy_> trojan_spike: sudo wont work gksudo
[01:23] <SomeGuy223> mithridates: but switch to a live cd first
[01:23] <trojan_spike> does work,, but keeps in terminal
[01:24] <mithridates> SomeGuy223: it's just one file :( by the way partition type is 83
[01:24] <MdNtSnow> cheers
[01:24] <paddy_> trojan_spike: if you run the command in launcher it wont work :)
[01:24] <MdNtSnow> what are the differences between sudo and gksudo?
[01:24] <SomeGuy223> andrew__: sudo nvidia-settings does not work?
[01:24] <trojan_spike> yea,, i didnt see that
[01:24] <andrew__> no, it doesn't
[01:24] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: sudo will work in command line but gksudo grays out the screen and request a password in the graphical interface
[01:25] <xangua> !gksu | MdNtSnow
[01:25] <paddy_> trojan_spike: whats with the doubble commas>
[01:25] <MdNtSnow> i get it :) thanks
[01:25] <trojan_spike> ,, lol ,, so what?
[01:26] <xenos> anyone playing starcraft 2 ?
[01:26] <trojan_spike> (.y.)
[01:26] <paddy_> trojan_spike: you are wasting the internets
[01:26] <MdNtSnow> i'm pretty new to Ubuntu / Linux
[01:26] <bazhang> !ot | xenos
[01:26] <MdNtSnow> so this is good
[01:26] <trojan_spike> paddy_, what are you babling on about?
[01:26] <ShayGuy> Hey. Still haven't fixed my Wicd wireless problem. No networks picking up.
[01:27] <xenos> anyone playing starcraft 2 on ubuntu?
[01:27] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: try reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[01:27] <bazhang> xenos, check the appdb and join #winehq
[01:27] <andrew__> here's what i get from sudo nvidia-settings

[01:28] <MdNtSnow> hah
[01:28] <MdNtSnow> CLI may be faster but i am a terrible typer
[01:28] <MdNtSnow> not slow, just many many mistakes
[01:28] <xenos> meow
[01:28] <ShayGuy> It was working fine until Wednesday. Then it just stopped picking up wireless networks, and rebooting didn't help.
[01:28] <Evil_Otto> Is there anyone here that might be able to get networking to work on my netbook?
[01:28] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: faster if you know what you are doing
[01:28] <elky> xenos, if you're just wanting to socialise, that's what #ubuntu-offtopic is for.
[01:29] <georgey> if i want to install anything with sudo apt-get install it tells me that he was not able to obtain a lock
[01:29] <kingb> i keep trying to boot ubuntu on the original iso, and it keeps getting stuck on the ubuntu logo with the 5 red dots under it
[01:29] <Evil_Otto> My wireless networking is showing as disabled, and the wired networking doesn't work either
[01:29] <bastidrazor> MdNtSnow: tab-completion helps for nearly all things in terminal
[01:29] <paddy_> georgey: try closing other package manergers such as synaptic
[01:29] <georgey> some program maybe uses the lock.. but what program could use it?
[01:29] <georgey> k
[01:29] <SomeGuy223> georgey: you might be running two installatins a he same time
[01:29] <MdNtSnow> bastidrazor: tab completion?
[01:30] <kingb> i keep trying to boot ubuntu on the original iso, and it keeps getting stuck on the ubuntu logo with the 5 red dots under it

[01:31] <kingb> its frozen

[01:31] <SomeGuy223> andrew__: sudo apt-get python-gtk2
[01:32] <ShayGuy> No matter what I do, it just says "No wireless networks found.", even when I'm six feet from the router. Ethernet works fine.
[01:32] <kingb> i keep trying to boot ubuntu on the original iso, and it keeps getting stuck on the ubuntu logo with the 5 red dots under it

[01:37] <xangua> trojan_spike: the web offer a linux package, never tried that
[01:37] <kingb> xangua: my ubuntu startup keeps saying that
[01:37] <SingAlong> kingb: it should to take you to commandline
[01:37] <SomeGuy223> johnyh_: System>Admin>Additonal Drivers

[01:37] <johnyh_> SomeGuy223: I will then use kernel module switching?
[01:38] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: try man <command> to get some help on it
[01:38] <xangua> kingb: what version of ubuntu are ypu trying to install¿¿
[01:38] <kingb> 10.10 32
[01:38] <SomeGuy223> johnyh_: you should be able to install the non-free driver, which will enable 3d acceleration
[01:38] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: or if you dont know the command a quick google search usually does the trkick
[01:38] <johnyh_> SomeGuy223: ok thanks .. and about KSM
[01:38] <johnyh_> ?
[01:38] <Plimmer> I want to format a hdd, my problem is I have 2 identical harddrives, and I dont want to format them both. I did a "lshw -C disk" and a "df -h". Can I assume that sdb1 and sdb is the same disk and sdc is the 2nd disk?
[01:39] <MdNtSnow> paddy_: omitting directory 'Desktop/classes/'
[01:39] <MdNtSnow> im running under sudo
[01:39] <kingb> i will burn it to another cd
[01:39] <MdNtSnow> so
[01:39] <bastidrazor> MdNtSnow: add -r
[01:39] <kingb> i guess
[01:39] <paddy_> kingb: so it is not frozen on the gui startup screen anymore?
[01:39] <kingb> paddy: no, it is frozen on a black screen that says:
[01:39] <kingb> isolinux 4.01 debian-20100714 ETCD copyright (c) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al
[01:40] <MdNtSnow> hmmm
[01:40] <MdNtSnow> what if i want to move the contents of a directory into another
[01:40] <paddy_> Plimmer: the naming is sd<letter for drive><number for partition of drive>
[01:40] <goodtime_> cd
[01:40] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: mv old new
[01:40] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: mv old dir/new
[01:40] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: again, try google
[01:41] <ShayGuy> ...I don't need /voice in here, do I?
[01:41] <Plimmer> paddy_: Ah! Can you tell me why I cant use all the space now on the drive. It's formatted with NTFS and I can copy around 100gb to it of 1500gb. Is that some sort of ntfs limitation in linux?
[01:41] <bastidrazor> ShayGuy: no
[01:42] <trojan_spike> xangua, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-xbmc-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick.html
[01:42]  * ShayGuy is relieved
[01:42] <MdNtSnow> this feel like a pain when im slightly drunk and its 1:42 AM
[01:42] <paddy_> Plimmer: are you in gui or terminal?
[01:42] <Plimmer> terminal
[01:43] <bastidrazor> MdNtSnow: you should read up on:: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[01:43] <paddy_> go to the mountpoint of the drive and run ls -la
[01:43] <paddy_> bastidrazor: arleady told him that :)
[01:43] <Plimmer> paddy_: It lists the directories on it.
[01:44] <MdNtSnow> yeah
[01:44] <MdNtSnow> thanks
[01:44]  * paddy_ believes learinging linux terminal while drunk is difficult
[01:44] <swim> i cannot get any windows space on my 3d sphere with compiz
[01:44] <paddy_> see http://xkcd.com/323/
[01:44] <MdNtSnow> i passed 3 of my final exams at university while slightly intoxicated
[01:44] <MdNtSnow> so i'll be fine
[01:44] <paddy_> Plimmer: are there any starting with .?
[01:45] <paddy_> Plimmer: are there any starting with a period?
[01:45] <Plimmer> Nope
[01:45] <ShayGuy> I've got like 15 minutes before I have to unplug this Ethernet cable so I can recharge my laptop. Any advice?
[01:45] <paddy_> Plimmer: is it compleatly empty?
[01:45] <Plimmer> The disk dosent show up in df either
[01:45] <Plimmer> Nope, got the directory I was trying to copy over earlier
[01:46] <xenos> MdNtSnow: well, a "D" is passing lol
[01:46] <paddy_> Plimmer: does it need to be formatted ntfs?
[01:46] <paddy_> ShayGuy: buy a longer ethernet cable?
[01:46] <bastidrazor> xenos: heh
[01:46] <Plimmer> Not at all, but it dosent need to perform all that good either, so thats why I tried with ntfs
[01:46] <MdNtSnow> xenos: by passing I mean with an A
[01:46] <Plimmer> Ease of use I guess.
[01:46] <ShayGuy> paddy_: I mean about my wireless problem.
[01:47] <paddy_> ShayGuy: lol, what problem?
[01:47] <ShayGuy> The one I mentioned earlier.
[01:47] <paddy_> Plimmer: internal or extermal?
[01:47] <Plimmer> internal
[01:47] <ShayGuy> paddy_: [19:26] <ShayGuy> Hey. Still haven't fixed my Wicd wireless problem. No networks picking up.
[01:48] <ShayGuy> paddy_: [19:28] <ShayGuy> It was working fine until Wednesday. Then it just stopped picking up wireless networks, and rebooting didn't help.
[01:48] <ShayGuy> paddy_: [19:32] <ShayGuy> No matter what I do, it just says "No wireless networks found.", even when I'm six feet from the router. Ethernet works fine.
[01:48] <paddy_> ShayGuy: whats the problem in breif?
[01:48] <paddy_> Plimmer: I recomend you format it ext3
[01:48] <MdNtSnow> having never used linux. I was disappointed when it didn't look like that computer in Jurassic Park
[01:49] <paddy_> MdNtSnow: in terminal prefrances you can fix that
[01:49] <ejwaxx> Just restarted the machine after a nasty memory leak.  I can't get into GNOME (tty7 is stuck at "Checking battery state"), but I can get to (and am in) a text console on tty1.  Any ideas?
[01:49] <ShayGuy> paddy_: What I just said. Wicd stopped picking up wireless networks altogether on Wednesday.
[01:49] <Plimmer> paddy_: yeah, thanks for the time. :)
[01:49] <paddy_> ejwaxx: try differnt tty concols it isnt always 7
[01:49] <MdNtSnow> paddy_: I mean the famous scene where the little girl recognises unix with that 3d modular interface
[01:50] <ejwaxx> paddy_: all the rest are just offering up console logins
[01:50] <paddy_> ShayGuy: try ifconfig wlan0 up
[01:50] <ShayGuy> paddy_: wlan0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
[01:50] <paddy_> ejwaxx: login and type gdm
[01:51] <paddy_> ShayGuy: there's you problem!
[01:52] <bastidrazor> ShayGuy: i've noticed wicd likes to make wireless eth1
[01:52] <ShayGuy> paddy_: ifconfig -a also shows eth1, so I tried the same with that. SIOCSIFFLAGS: Permission denied
[01:52] <paddy_> ShayGuy: iwconfig
[01:52] <paddy_> ShayGuy: pastebin the whole output
[01:53] <paddy_> ejwaxx: did loging in and typing gdm work?
[01:53] <ShayGuy> Damn, out of battery power.
[01:53] <ejwaxx> paddy_: no good...get a "Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager" error
[01:54] <SomeGuy223> ejwaxx: I just had a similar problem, maybe you need to make a new xorg.conf?
[01:55] <paddy_> ejwaxx: read http://www.linux-solved.com/post/Failed-to-acquire-org-gnome-DisplayManager-solved-56693.html
[01:55] <SomeGuy223> ejwaxx: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:55] <SomeGuy223> ejwaxx: your situation might be different, but that's what solved mine
[01:56] <ejwaxx> someguy223: thanks, but i think i'm in a different boat...i tried to rebuild it, and copied the xorg.conf over from backup, to no avail
[01:57] <Evil_Otto> My netbook won't use networking at all (wired OR wireless), can anyone suggest a place to start?
[01:57] <paddy_> Evil_Otto: iwconfig
[01:57] <paddy_> Evil_Otto: pastebin it
[01:57] <Evil_Otto> paddy: I can't paste it, what am I looking for?
[01:58] <paddy_> Evil_Otto: pastebin.com
[01:58] <humanMeat> so. i'm trying to ssh raw into port 1194.
[01:58] <humanMeat> putty is not doing anything
[01:58] <paddy_> Evil_Otto: paste the link it gives you
[01:59] <SomeGuy223> all of my themes are broken, when I try to load them there's always some quirk like something being the wrong color
[01:59] <kingb> ok, now my ubuntu install says: busybox v1.15.3 (ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands     (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/out error can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
[01:59] <Evil_Otto> paddy_: I don't see any link
[01:59] <Evil_Otto> are you asking about the interfaces?
[01:59] <Evil_Otto> i have a wlan1
[02:00] <paddy_> Evil_Otto: go on http://pastebin.com/ in the big box paste the whole of the output and press submit
[02:00] <drac> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31zU_24z_s8
[02:00] <Nesto1000> Hey guys, can anyone help me? I am trying to see a java based site, but can't. I'm using chrome aka chromium.
[02:00] <scorchgeek> I'm totally stumped. F2 through F4 don't work in byobu, a version of screen. They do work (using the same terminal emulator) on Midnight Commander, and they also work using PuTTY to ssh into my system. Any ideas on where to start?
[02:00] <bazhang> drac, dont paste that here
[02:00] <humanMeat> how can you tell if port 1194 is accepting any connections?
[02:00] <Evil_Otto> paddy_: I can't... the machine doesn't have any networking, so I have no place to put it.
[02:00] <kingb> ok, now my ubuntu install says: busybox v1.15.3 (ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands     (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/out error can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
[02:00] <SomeGuy223> Nesto1000: do you have jre installed?
[02:01] <humanMeat> anyone know?
[02:01] <Evil_Otto> unless yo umean type it in by hand paddy_
[02:01] <Nesto1000> SomeGuy223: not too sure
[02:01] <SomeGuy223> humanMeat: sudo ufw
[02:01] <SomeGuy223> humanMeat: sorry, "sudo ufw status"
[02:01] <paddy_> Evil_Otto: no what interfaces are there
[02:01] <Evil_Otto> lo, wlan1, eth1
[02:01] <kingb> ok, now my ubuntu install says: busybox v1.15.3 (ubuntu 1:1.15.3-1ubuntu5) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands     (initramfs) mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on //filesystem.squashfs failed: Input/out error can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs
[02:01] <humanMeat> ok. so it says allow from anywhere. for 1194
[02:02] <paddy_> king is your cd scratched?
[02:02] <weet> hello?
[02:02] <humanMeat> when it says allow from anywhere on port 1194, how can i see if it's actually accepting an openvpn client connection
[02:02] <kingb> paddy: this is the 3rd cd i've put the iso on
[02:02] <humanMeat> because openvpngui client keeps not connecting i've been working on this stupid problem for a week
[02:02] <kingb> what is wrong with these isos
[02:02] <SomeGuy223> Nesto1000: first go to software sources and enable the Universe reposiory, then run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre"
[02:02] <kingb> i have downloaded like 3 of them
[02:02] <scorchgeek> kingb: did you try the 'verify cd' option when you first boot?
[02:03] <kingb> verify cd?
[02:03] <kingb> there are no choices
[02:03] <scorchgeek> it's not called exactly that
[02:03] <paddy_> kingb: in the fist menu
[02:03] <Evil_Otto> paddy_: lo, wlan1, eth1
[02:03] <kingb> what menu?
[02:03] <kingb> there are no menus
[02:03] <scorchgeek> kingb: then you have the wrong CD
[02:03] <paddy_> kingb: the boot menu
[02:03] <scorchgeek> when you boot, you should get a menu
[02:03] <kingb> this is an iso
[02:03] <SomeGuy223> paddy_: there's no menu in the Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD they took it out.
[02:03] <paddy_> kingb: yes
[02:03] <scorchgeek> SomeGuy223: oh really? huh
[02:03] <paddy_> SomeGuy223: how do you verify then?
[02:03] <bastidrazor> !md5 | kingb
[02:03] <gimpy2944> On Ubuntu 10.10 x64 I tried to have it remeber my currently open apps (under the statup apps dialog) and now when I log in I get my background and nothing else.  I already cleared out ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session to no avail.  Ideas?
[02:03] <scorchgeek> SomeGuy223: isn't there some way to make it come up? what if you need boot options?
[02:04] <paddy_> Evil_Otto: ifconfig wlan1 up
[02:04] <Optimus55> Is there a minimalist (very tiny) ubuntu install that comes without a preconfigured window manager? (gnome, kde, etc)
[02:04] <kingb> so what am I supposed to do
[02:04] <Evil_Otto> paddy_: done.
[02:04] <Optimus55> i just want terminal
[02:04] <Evil_Otto> still no connection
[02:04] <Tweedle> someone connected a xbox kinect to ubuntu for multi-touch gesturing
[02:04] <humanMeat> why does openvpn gui keep giving me Sat Nov 13 18:03:42 2010 us=124000 SIGUSR1[soft,connection-reset] received, process restarting Sat Nov 13 18:03:42 2010 us=155000 Restart pause, 5 second(s)

[02:05] <millertimek1a2m3> I need to know how to delete a folder that was committed to it
[02:05] <Plimmer> Does it always take a really long time to format a drive in ubuntu?
[02:05] <bastidrazor> kingb: read that link and verify you ISO and CD

[02:05] <humanMeat> how can you tell if someone is trying to connect to your computer on port 1194
[02:05] <humanMeat> how do you monitor it
[02:05] <kingb> there's clearly something wrong with the cd
[02:05] <weet> SomeGuy223: Does it easily sync or do I have to do some type of set up
[02:05] <kingb> ...
[02:06] <kingb> this is 3 straight cds

[02:06] <kingb> yeah 2 times
[02:06] <SomeGuy223> weet: if you plug in your ipod, it should appear in the sidebar

[02:06] <kingb> i am d/ling it the 3rd time now
[02:06] <Nesto1000> SomeGuy223, nvm... It's checked already
[02:06] <humanMeat> gimpy2944, so i got one line of output. how do i actually monitor it
[02:06] <humanMeat> because i can't seem to connect via openvpn gui
[02:07] <weet> paddy_: Thank you! :D
[02:07] <gimpy2944> homanMeat: That's how you can check it, one line usually just means your system is listening on that port.  I don't know what you mean by "monitor it"
[02:07] <Nesto1000> SomeGuy223, I get this error: Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:07] <Nesto1000> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[02:07] <Nesto1000> is only available from another source
[02:07] <Nesto1000> E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate
[02:08] <FloodBot3> Nesto1000: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:08] <bazhang> paddy_, watch the language
[02:08] <paddy_> stfu FloodBot3
[02:08] <Nesto1000> opps... lol
[02:08] <bazhang> Nesto1000, enable partner repo
[02:08] <paddy_> bazhang: sorry
[02:08] <bazhang> paddy_, stop it
[02:08] <gimpy2944> Be nice to floodbot, no need to hurt it's feelings.
[02:08] <bazhang> !partner | Nesto1000
[02:08] <humanMeat> gimpy2944, i'm having trouble connecting to it with openvpngui or ANYTHING for that matter, ssh whatever on port 1194.  I can ssh on port 22 just fine but for some reason, openvpn is f'ed up
[02:08] <SomeGuy223> Nesto1000: just go to Ubuntu Software Center and search for Java
[02:09] <weet> so im trying to install ubuntu
[02:09] <humanMeat> why can't openvpn just work after you follow their god awful documentation
[02:09] <ctmjr> !java > ctmjr
[02:09] <snipe> my nvidia control panel is resetting to a really low resolution everytime i have to restart ubuntu. tried saving the settings to x but still resets
[02:09] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: If you telnet to that port does it connect or is the connection refused?
[02:09] <humanMeat> putty just shows a blank screen that closes 10 seconds later
[02:09] <humanMeat> telnet raw
[02:09] <SomeGuy223> ubottu can solve everything.
[02:09] <humanMeat> er ssh raw
[02:09] <humanMeat> telnet says connection refused
[02:09] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: I don't understand why you are trying ot SSH to that port.
[02:09] <paddy_> SomeGuy223: fail
[02:10] <weet> My computers BIOS screen wont show, how can I change to "boot from disk" from my Windows desktop (trying to install ubuntu)
[02:10] <WilliamHerry> firewall
[02:10] <Durped> Hi im having problems installing Panflute-applet... I installed it with apt-get install but when i try to add it to the panel its not there.. there any reason for this or a way to fix this?
[02:10] <humanMeat> gimpy2944, i got some tip from another guy in here to use putty to SSH raw into there just to see if anything would happen
[02:10] <scorchgeek> weet: you can't
[02:10] <psusi> weet, figure out how to get your bios screen to show
[02:10] <scorchgeek> weet: try just pressing a few common keys, F1, delete, escape, etc when you boot, see if it comes up
[02:10] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: Oh, I use telnet to test ports, never heard of using SSH to do that.
[02:10] <weet> scorchgeek: Really? I have nothing works.
[02:10] <paddy_> weet: and F12
[02:10] <SomeGuy223> weet: f2 too
[02:11] <humanMeat> gimpy2944 anyways, it's saying connection failed when i telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1194
[02:11] <ejwaxx> snipe: might be worth launching via 'gksu nvidia-settings' from the terminal and trying to save to xorg.conf again
[02:11] <humanMeat> or even just without the ip
[02:11] <scorchgeek> weet: well, there is always a way when you boot, and no way to do it once an operating system is running, so yeah
[02:11] <snipe> thanks
[02:11] <humanMeat> er. without the port
[02:11] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: Are yo trying with your external IP address, local, or loopback?
[02:11] <weet> scorchgeek: well everytime I try i hit like every button on my keyboard nothing works
[02:11] <Evil_Otto> ugh now *I'M* getting the 'can not mount /dev/loop0' message
[02:11] <psusi> weet, check your motherboard manual...
[02:12] <Nesto1000> SomeGuy223, which one do I install?
[02:12] <SomeGuy223> weet: what brand is your computer?
[02:12] <humanMeat> gimpy2944, i'm using the same ip address that i use for SSH on port 22(which i am able to do)
[02:12] <weet> psusi: Not a custom build. Its an old HP
[02:12] <humanMeat> this is a box on linode servers
[02:12] <scorchgeek> weet: and a message doesn't say "press <foo> to access setup"?
[02:12] <riley> hello everyone
[02:12] <psusi> weet, then go to hp's web site and read their manuals
[02:12] <SomeGuy223> weet: try F1
[02:12] <paddy_> humanMeat: telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl
[02:12] <Durped> No one knows?
[02:12] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: That's doesn't help me.  If you are trying that on your external IP, the one the Internet sees, then you may need to open the port on your firewall.
[02:12] <weet> SomeGuy223: Is it bad to hit all of the F's.
[02:12] <humanMeat> gimpy2944, i added a manual exception for this on my router
[02:12] <SomeGuy223> weet: press repeatedly immediately after pressing power
[02:12] <scorchgeek> weet: probably not
[02:12] <humanMeat> so it's not the firewall
[02:13] <SomeGuy223> weet: not really unless you break a key.
[02:13] <scorchgeek> all that will happen is other menus may come up, you can just hit the power button if you screw up
[02:13] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: OK, now try it on the local machine that hosts the service and try it with <IP_ADDRESS>, do you get the same error?
[02:14] <humanMeat> yea
[02:14] <humanMeat> er wait
[02:14] <humanMeat> which machine. client or server
[02:14] <SomeGuy223> Nesto1000: try typing in sun java into the search
[02:14] <humanMeat> i'm trying to telnet from my windows box to the ubuntu
[02:14] <SomeGuy223> Nesto1000: and then selecting sun-java6-jre
[02:14] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: on the local machine that hosts the service....that means the server
[02:14] <kingb> how do you go to a different directory in windows in the cmd prompt
[02:14] <SomeGuy223> kingb: cd
[02:15] <weet> kk brb ima try and get to bios
[02:15] <humanMeat> Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[02:15] <scorchgeek> humanMeat: dumb question, is your ssh server installed
[02:15] <scorchgeek> I did that once and felt really stupid afterward
[02:15] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: Is the openVPN or whatever service you are trying to connect to running?
[02:15] <humanMeat> scorchgeek, i am able to ssh in and issue commands.. does that count?
[02:15] <humanMeat> gimpy2944 it is running
[02:15] <SomeGuy223> humanMeat: check the firwall on both sides
[02:16] <humanMeat> i just added a router exception and a ufw exception on port 1194
[02:16] <scorchgeek> if it works, then yeah it better be installed :)...so you just can't use that one port
[02:16] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: Wait, you mentioned OpenVPN earlier, are you setting up OpenVPN or an SSH server?
[02:16] <humanMeat> for client and server
[02:16] <humanMeat> openvpn.
[02:16] <humanMeat> i can't seem to get port 1194 to see anything... or something i don't know. it's realy aggravating
[02:17] <scorchgeek> well is openvpn set up then on that port? I don't know anything about it though
[02:17] <paddy_> !telnet | humanMeat
[02:17] <humanMeat> scorchgeek, i followed the really piss poor documentation at openvpn to set it up. /etc/init.d/openvpn restart gives me some logs telling me it's running
[02:17] <gimpy2944> paddy: We are just testing a port, telnet is fine for that.
[02:17] <humanMeat> but i can't for the lfie of me get any info in to 1194 on that machine
[02:18] <paddy_> gimpy2944: ok
[02:18] <scorchgeek> sure your router/firewall settings are ok?
[02:18] <Evil_Otto> hmm, networking works fine booted from ubuntu live cd
[02:18] <humanMeat> how do i check scorchgeek
[02:18] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: Try following an OpenVPN setup guide to make sure you got every step right, OpenVPN can be picky.
[02:18] <Nesto1000> SomeGuy223, I typed sun java, but I can't find sun java6 jre
[02:18] <humanMeat> i've followed what was provided at openvpn
[02:18] <scorchgeek> humanMeat: depends on your router and firewall software
[02:18] <Guest21753> Anyone got experience with Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud?
[02:18] <humanMeat> And i followed another one provided by linode
[02:19] <humanMeat> both are failures
[02:19] <gimpy2944> scorchgeek: Even locally on loopback it won't connect he said.
[02:19] <Nesto1000> SomeGuy223, I shoulda probably said that I'm on 64bit ubuntu
[02:19] <humanMeat> scorchgeek.. i'm using a windows firewall and put an exception for port 1194 for openvpn gui on router
[02:19] <paddy_> Guest21753: from the sound of it, it comes with suppourt
[02:19] <scorchgeek> gimpy2944: ah yeah good point
[02:19] <humanMeat> and ufw has an exception for 1194 on server
[02:19] <humanMeat> i've been saying this for 20 minutes now lol
[02:19] <Guest21753> I've got it setup on a virtual network...
[02:19] <Vhozard> Ubuntu should really have a proper torrent client, I'm uninstalling ubuntu for it now.
[02:20] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: Kill ufw completely and try it.
[02:20] <paddy_> Vhozard: what is wrong with transmission
[02:20] <Guest21753> I want to route the front end server to my public IP though.
[02:20] <ctmjr> humanMeat, if a remember correctly openvpn has a lot of info on their web site on how to connect
[02:20] <humanMeat> ctmjr, ones that don't work
[02:20] <gimpy2944> Vhozard: Try Deluge, transmission is ok too.
[02:20] <SomeGuy223> Nesto1000: I think java's the same for both 32-bit and 64-bit, but I have no experience with the latter.
[02:20] <LadyNikon> anyone figure out the issue with ubuntu and flash ?
[02:20] <humanMeat> i don't need anymore rtfm :(
[02:20] <Vhozard> I have tried Transmission, deluge, rtorrent, libtorrent, uTorrent via wine
[02:20] <Vhozard> they all just suck
[02:21] <paddy_> Vhozard: why
[02:21] <gimpy2944> Vhozard: Define suck.
[02:21] <kingb> so i got it to go back to the ubuntu install with the 5 red dots,  but it still eventually just freezes
[02:21] <bastidrazor> Vhozard: try ktorrent.
[02:21] <SomeGuy223> Vhozard: I think that's about it for all the clients on all platforms...
[02:21] <kingb> ctrl alt f1 does work, but it just gives me a blank prompt
[02:21]  * Evil_Otto blows away and starts over
[02:21] <SomeGuy223> Vhozard: you can try Vuze
[02:21] <paddy_> kingb: login to the prompt
[02:21] <snipe> saving via gsku didn't fix it but i notice it reads my monitor as a crt even though it recognizes the model. it is an acer p201w lcd.
[02:21] <Vhozard> Deluge is unstable as shit, Tranmission slow as shit, uTorrent via wine is a fail. and rtorrent works very slow via webui
[02:21] <kingb> login to the prompt?
[02:21]  * paddy_ is getting somewhere
[02:21] <kingb> now its just frozen
[02:21] <kingb> =[
[02:21] <Tweedle> someone fix my surround card's mic-to-center/lfe switch, i cant find where to change it
[02:21] <Tweedle> plz :)
[02:22] <paddy_> kingb: yes
[02:22] <Vhozard> Vuze is probably the worst client, after LimeWire or so
[02:22] <Kyle__> crap, someone redsponded and I was afk..
[02:22] <gimpy2944> Vhozard: I have no problems with Deluge at all, are you using the latest version (check their site).
[02:22] <Plimmer> utorrent in wine is the same as utorrent in windows..
[02:22] <Kyle__> Anyone here using an atsc tuner (north american digital broadcast) in ubuntu?
[02:22] <kingb> how do you log into a prompt
[02:22] <kingb> there's nothing there
[02:22] <paddy_> Vhozard: transision is not slow
[02:22] <Vhozard> uTorrent via wine is NOT the same as uTorrent via windows
[02:22] <bastidrazor> Vhozard: limewire is a p2p client not torrent
[02:22] <Plimmer> Whats the difference?
[02:22] <Vhozard> limewire does torrents too
[02:23] <paddy_> kingb: so there is no prompt
[02:23] <Vhozard> uTorrent via wine just doesnt work
[02:23] <kingb> its just a "_"
[02:23] <Vhozard> thats pretty basic, isnt nit?
[02:23] <Vhozard> it*
[02:23] <nikitis> Get rTorrent
[02:23] <humanMeat> so... i'm out of luck. openvpn is just open crap software
[02:23] <nikitis> works good
[02:23] <Plimmer> It works for me..
[02:23] <Vhozard> I did get rTorrent
[02:23] <nikitis> simple
[02:23] <Kyle__> humanMeat: it really isn't.
[02:23] <Vhozard> rtorrent is NOT simple
[02:23] <Guest21753> Anyone experienced with KVM?
[02:23] <Vhozard> i got it working though
[02:23] <kingb> paddy: just a blinking "_"
[02:23] <Tweedle> SOMEONE: i need a lil soundcard help
[02:23] <Vhozard> But the webui makes it very slo
[02:23] <humanMeat> Kyle__ there is absolutely no support for a Windows client connecting to an openvpn server
[02:23] <Vhozard> w
[02:23] <paddy_> kingb: so you have a black screen with a single underscore?
[02:23] <kingb> yes
[02:24] <humanMeat> support is probably half of using a software solution lol
[02:24] <nikitis> if you think rtorrent is difficult, you haven't tried many bit torrent clients.  cause there are so doosies.
[02:24] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: I disagree, OpenVPN is great.  I don't know enough about your system to know the problem, all I can suggets to to know the concepts of how data travels on a network, how VPNs work, and to pay attention to every detail of the documentation.
[02:24] <Kyle__> humanMeat: That's not so.
[02:24] <paddy_> Vhozard: I have downloaded meany movies umm i mean creative commens licenced video;s
[02:24] <paddy_> with transmission
[02:24] <kingb> paddy: now its saying stuff
[02:25] <Vhozard> nikitis rtorrent itself wasnt difficult, i had problams with the webui (wtorrent)
[02:25] <Maahes> I installed a package with aptitude, and it pulled down a bunch of libraries, now I want to remove it, and a sudo aptitude purge only removes 1 package, is there a way to see a list of recently installed packages?
[02:25] <humanMeat> kyle__ why isn't open source used by billions of people then :( Windows is STILL the most popular OS
[02:25] <paddy_> kingb: could you please be more specific
[02:25] <humanMeat> for desktop
[02:25] <kingb> [  75.281288] panic occured, switching back to text console
[02:25] <Plimmer> Vhozard: Try out rutorrent
[02:25] <Evil_Otto> humanMeat: marketing.
[02:25] <Kyle__> Dude, it is.  Whether they know it or not.
[02:25]  * Kyle__ sighs and /ignores the troll
[02:25] <Vhozard> why cant there just be a good substitute for uTorrent -_-
[02:25] <kingb> [  75.281169] kenral panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
[02:25] <humanMeat> i'm sick of reading docs that dont' document bugs or problems
[02:25] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: Oh joy, THIs argument again.....take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:26] <humanMeat> it's "do this do this do this" get an exception
[02:26] <bastidrazor> Vhozard: they have.. ktorrent and deluge
[02:26] <Kyle__> gimpy2944: that's what /ignore is for.
[02:26] <Tweedle> Vhozard: kTorrent?
[02:26] <paddy_> kingb: kernal panic, not good
[02:26] <Vhozard> im on gnome, but ill give ktorrent a go
[02:26] <kingb> [ 75.281181] pid: 1,comm: run-init not tainted <IP_ADDRESS>-generic #33-ubunutu
[02:26] <kingb> so what do I do
[02:26] <gimpy2944> Kyle: We shouldn't need to ignore, it's the rules of the room, offtopic goes to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[02:26] <ctmjr> Vhozard, tried vuze yet?
[02:26] <Vhozard> vuze = crap
[02:26] <Kyle__> gimpy2944: fair enough.
[02:26] <Vhozard> i dont use it
[02:27] <bastidrazor> Vhozard: you can use kde applications on gnome .. just need a bit more libraries.
[02:27] <Vhozard> yeah, i know
[02:27] <humanMeat> it's not off topic. i followed some documentation that's ubuntu related and got exceptions
[02:27] <Vhozard> good thing the ubuntu servers are fast
[02:27] <Tweedle> ya, kde apps run on gnome for m
[02:27] <Vhozard> i can download at 14 MB/s :)
[02:27] <Tweedle> e
[02:27] <humanMeat> i'm bring it up here lol and now i'm sidetracked fro some reason
[02:27] <Tweedle> nice
[02:27] <bazhang> humanMeat, ranting is offtopic. take it there.
[02:27] <paddy_> kingdb can you run dmesg and pastebin the output?
[02:27] <dingurt> Vhozard: see if you can downloads a cookie
[02:27] <Tweedle> mm cookies
[02:27] <kingb> dmsg?
[02:27] <humanMeat> so how do you figure out why 1194 isn't accepting info?
[02:28] <kingb> no, this thing is frozen
[02:28] <kingb> but hold on
[02:28] <humanMeat> i got multiple repeated responses "configure firewall, read the manuL etc etc " that were useless
[02:28] <paddy_> kingb: have you got a desktop working yet?
[02:28] <kingb> no
[02:28] <kingb> it is frozen on these messages
[02:29] <kingb> and it is a laptop
[02:29] <kingb> if that manes anything
[02:29] <bastidrazor> humanMeat: did you get a response from netstat -napt | grep 1194  ?
[02:29] <Vhozard> One thing I love about uTorrent, is that it works, it works fast and its possible to specify the download directory for the files within a torrent
[02:29] <paddy_> can someone help me help kingdb he has kernel panic on livecd
[02:29] <gimpy2944> humanMeat: OpenVPN is also not Ubuntu's own software.  If OpenVPN has their own forums and IRC, you might want to try there.  We are here to help you find the answer, not find the answer fo you.
[02:30] <humanMeat> bastidrazor, i get tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:1194            <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN
[02:30] <paddy_> Vhozard: transmission does taht
[02:30] <Vhozard> nope it doesnt
[02:30] <Vhozard> try it out
[02:30] <bazhang> kingb, download the alternate iso. md5 the iso.  burn at low speed then do the verify disk from the menu.
[02:30] <bazhang> !alternate | kingb
[02:30] <dingurt> humanMeat: you have iptables up?
[02:30] <paddy_> humanMeat: if it aint in the repoes it aint suppourted here :)
[02:30] <bazhang> !md5 > kingb
[02:31] <humanMeat> paddy_ it's in the repositories
[02:31] <bastidrazor> humanMeat: what is after the listen? run that with sudo .. you should get a program that is listening..
[02:31] <humanMeat> 15511/openvpnn bastidrazor
[02:31] <dingurt> humanMeat: what are your firewall rules?
[02:31] <humanMeat> what command to see? i think i have one on 22
[02:31] <humanMeat> and 1194
[02:32] <kingb> what is a text based alternative installer
[02:32] <paddy_> humanMeat: I stand corrected, I did a quick serarch in software center but it decided to hide it as a `technical package`
[02:32] <dingurt> humanMeat: sudo iptables -L
[02:32] <bazhang> kingb, the alternate installer. I just gave you a link
[02:32] <paddy_> kingb: there is no graphics only text
[02:32] <Kyle__> kingb: it's an alternative installer where you use text instead of graphics to make you choices.
[02:33] <paddy_> !terminal | kingb
[02:33] <humanMeat> dingurt i got a whole bunch of stuff from that one.. i'll paste to see
[02:33] <dingurt> humanMeat: ok
[02:33] <paddy_> kingb: ignore that
[02:33] <kingb> i don't want to d/l torrents
[02:33] <bazhang> kingb, you dont need to.
[02:34] <bazhang> kingb, just get the alternate installer from www.ubuntu.com

[02:36] <dingurt> humanMeat: looks like you need to do some reading on iptables. I think you have a blocked port.
[02:36] <gimpy2944> OMerta: So what happenes when you do: wine /path/to/something.exe
[02:36] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntu.com/start-download  kingb the find one near you link
[02:36] <roxdragon> i have a videocard ati mobility radeon x600... how to install driver on maerick?
[02:36] <OMerta> no i cant install the game gimpy
[02:36] <kingb> bazhang: it doesn't have 10.10
[02:36] <gimpy2944> OMerta: I mean, what error does it give you?
[02:36] <bastidrazor> kingb: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/
[02:36] <bazhang> kingb, yes it does
[02:36] <OMerta> i mounted game's iso image, but i cant run the autorun.exe
[02:36] <roxdragon> :(
[02:37] <Sir_Konrad> How can I schedule an "apt-get install" for 2:15AM tomorrow? I have a connection that'll allow me to download without effecting bandwidth at that time.
[02:37] <Sir_Konrad> And I need to get ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:37] <dingurt> Sir_Konrad: cron
[02:37] <OMerta> gimpy: the file *.exe is not marked as executable
[02:37] <paddy_> kingb: are you 64 bit
[02:37] <jcape> Sir_Konrad, dingurt: "at" is better for that
[02:37] <Sir_Konrad> dingurt, what about cron?
[02:37] <Sir_Konrad> jcape, at?
[02:37] <OMerta> that's the error i get gimpy
[02:38] <kingb> yeah
[02:38] <kingb> my computer is 64bit
[02:38] <jcape> Sir_Konrad: Yeah, there's a command called "at" (from the shell, "man at")
[02:38] <roxdragon> i have a videocard ati mobility radeon x600... how to install driver on maerick?
[02:38] <dingurt> jcape: i don't know about "better", but it will work the same
[02:38] <kingb> but I d/led the 32bit as recommended
[02:38] <jcape> dingurt: Naw, at is designed for one-offs
[02:38] <Sir_Konrad> jcape, yeah, but if I tell it to "sudo apt-get" then won't I have to get up and type in a password?
[02:38] <paddy_> kingb: http://ftp.ticklers.org/releases.ubuntu.org/releases//10.10/ubuntu-10.10-server-amd64.iso
[02:38] <bazhang> kingb, well download the alternate now
[02:38] <OMerta> i mounted the image as root, is that why gimpy?
[02:38] <jcape> Sir_Konrad: You can tell "at" to run it as root
[02:38] <kingb> bazhang: I'm dling it now
[02:38] <paddy_> kingb: who recomended 32
[02:38] <jcape> Sir_Konrad: "$ sudo at (timestamp) (command)"
[02:39] <bazhang> paddy_, thats the server
[02:39] <OMerta> the permission wont change cuz i'm just a user?
[02:39] <humanMeat> how do you get informationa bout a package in ubuntu?
[02:39] <kingb> paddy: the website recomended it
[02:39] <kingb> I have an intel centrino 64bit
[02:39] <Sir_Konrad> jcape, and it won't have to have a password? O.O
[02:39] <paddy_> kingb: bazhang so it is i meant http://ftp.ticklers.org/releases.ubuntu.org/releases//10.10/ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso
[02:39] <dingurt> jcape: true
[02:39] <jcape> Sir_Konrad: Nope, you're setting the schedule as root
[02:39] <Vhozard> LOL
[02:39] <jcape> Sir_Konrad: So root will be the one it gets run as
[02:39] <Vhozard> KTorrent works great
[02:39] <paddy_> kingb: why would it do that?
[02:39] <Vhozard> its looks ugly as hell on gnome though
[02:40] <Sir_Konrad> jcape, ah...
[02:40] <paddy_> kingb: do you know how much ram you have?
[02:40] <gimpy2944> OMerta: The exe shouldn't need to be executable I just tested it.  So, I'm no help and have no idea.
[02:40] <Sir_Konrad> jcape, let me look into it. Thanks. :)
[02:40] <kingb> paddy: a lot, I think 2gb
[02:40] <jcape> Sir_Konrad: np
[02:40] <Roasted> I upgraded the mozilla PPA, and now when I open Thunderbird, it opens a separate instance if "Shredder" in my dock. So I have 1 icon that acts as launcher, and 1 icon that acts as the current window. I do NOT want that. I want 1 icon to act as both like I had before I got this darn PPA.
[02:40] <humanMeat> how do you check the version of an app installed via apt-get
[02:40] <cryptik> hello i need urgent help, need to recover daa from a digital camera?
[02:40] <OMerta> well gimpy, the problem is that the exe is in a mounted iso
[02:40] <OMerta> normally i dont get any errors
[02:40] <cryptik> hello i need urgent help, need to recover data from a digital camera?
[02:41] <cryptik> hello i need urgent help, need to recover data from a digital camera?
[02:41] <cryptik> hello i need urgent help, need to recover data from a digital camera?
[02:41] <cryptik> hello i need urgent help, need to recover data from a digital camera?
[02:41] <FloodBot3> cryptik: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:42] <OMerta> mount command wont work unless i'm a root for an iso file
[02:42] <humanMeat> anyone know how to check what version of openvpn is running?
[02:42] <bazhang> cryptik once is enough
[02:42] <paddy_> humanMeat: apt-get -s install package
[02:42] <OMerta> is there a way to change that
[02:42] <oxyclean> anyone know of a good channel to talk PC hardware?
[02:42] <humanMeat> paddy_ that just tells me it's already installed. how can i see the version
[02:42] <bazhang> oxyclean, ##hardware
[02:42] <paddy_> oxyclean: #hardware :)
[02:42] <oxyclean> thanks
[02:43] <spikku> is it possible to upgrade distro from dapper to maverick?
[02:43] <Evil_Otto> uh.
[02:43] <Evil_Otto> i never got prompted to enter a default password for the default keyring
[02:43] <Evil_Otto> and now it's asking for it
[02:43] <Sir_Konrad> jcape, here's a question. I use at to schedule apt-get. Apt-get requires you to press Y to confirm.
[02:44] <paddy_> humanMeat: it will tell you in synaptic
[02:44] <humanMeat> paddy_ i'm command lining
[02:44] <humanMeat> i don't think i have this synaptic gui ur talking about
[02:44] <Sir_Konrad> jcape, anyway to get past that?
[02:44] <ctmjr> humanMeat, apt-cache show package name
[02:44] <bastidrazor> Sir_Konrad: use -y   that will give yes to any questions
[02:44] <dingurt> Sir_Konrad: I believe it's --force-yes
[02:45] <Sir_Konrad> oh dear... which one? :P
[02:45] <paddy_> command -v usually works
[02:45] <bastidrazor> Sir_Konrad: look at the 2nd page in the apt-get manpage.. man apt-get
[02:45] <paddy_> command -v usually works humanMeat
[02:45] <Habstina1> So it's completely OK if I already have Ubuntu installed via Wubi but I also want to do a true dual boot of Ubuntu with partitions?
[02:45] <bastidrazor> Sir_Konrad: --yes  or --assume-yes or -y
[02:45] <Sir_Konrad> --yes. Thanks bastidrazor. :)
[02:46] <bastidrazor> Sir_Konrad: you're welcome
[02:46] <OMerta> hey gimpy, i used fuseiso to mount the image as user and it's ok now
[02:46] <paddy_> humanMeat: an even better one `dpkg -p package`
[02:46] <OMerta> thanks anyways
[02:47] <Habstina1> By OK, meaning it won't mess things up if I have two Ubuntu copies installed on my computer at once?
[02:47] <Evil_Otto> How do i create a new default keyring?
[02:47] <bastidrazor> OMerta: fusermount to mount things in ~/.gvfs
[02:48] <OMerta> ahh thanks, i'll use that next time :)
[02:49] <andrew______> could somebody please explain the contradiction between http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/m/ and  http://dpaste.org/5Exd/
[02:49] <bastidrazor> OMerta: i could be wrong on that.
[02:51] <Ar|stote|is> is Unity that dock on the left and blank screen in the middle?
[02:52] <mkquist> Habstina1: no problem, its fine
[02:52] <jrib> andrew______: what contradiction?  What is it exactly that you want to accomplish?
[02:53] <Ar|stote|is> can i put the gui from 10.04 netbook edition instead of unity in the 10.10 one?
[02:53] <Sir_Konrad> ok so how can I make sure my command will be executed a root?
[02:53] <jrib> andrew______: why do you want to apt-get meta-kde?
[02:53] <chipmink> sudo?
[02:53] <andrew______> sudo apt-get install meta-kde
[02:53] <jrib> andrew______: WHY?
[02:54] <andrew______> because i want to try it out
[02:54] <zk_> how do i keep my monitor resolution after reboot?
[02:54] <andrew______> and some of the apps
[02:54] <jrib> andrew______: want to try what out?  afaict meta-kde is just a source package that creates other packages...
[02:54] <Sir_Konrad> chipmink, yes but this is scheduled with at.
[02:55] <andrew______> but why can't apt find the package?
[02:55] <jrib> andrew______: huh?  It's a source package
[02:55] <jrib> andrew______: it creates all the .debs you see in your link.
[02:56] <andrew______> and i want to install them all
[02:56] <jrib> andrew______: so do that if you want
[02:57] <andrew______> but is it not a package?  i thought the whole point of the metapackage was that you could install everything just by installing it alone
[02:58] <jrib> andrew______: like I said, it's a source package.  It's not a .deb you install.  It creates .debs
[02:58] <andrew______> and if it _is_ in the repo, why does apt-get say that it cannot find it?
[02:58] <jrib> andrew______: it's like you are just ignoring what I say, weird
[02:58] <andrew______> i am not ignoring
[02:59] <jrib> andrew______: it's not a package you install.
[02:59] <bastidrazor> !find meta-kde
[02:59] <bastidrazor> andrew______: it does not exist.
[02:59] <el_wholer> ??
[02:59] <andrew______> ....
[02:59] <LadyNikon> are those real?
[02:59] <andrew______> ok, thanks guys
[02:59] <andrew______> i stand corrected
[03:00] <LadyNikon> well i guess so
[03:01] <duckk> I can't seem to change my resolution to 1280x1024. can anyone help me with that?
[03:01] <ShayGuy> Okay, back.
[03:01] <ShayGuy> paddy_: My iwconfig output is http://pastebin.com/AcJFZ8SQ
[03:03] <chalcedony> my hard drive died, ubuntu 8.04, my friend dave is recovering it, using his windows 7 box. he has it read only. how can he give me those files and make them accessible on ubuntu 9.04?
[03:04] <theannihilator> has anyone used logmein with linux?
[03:04] <nikitis> long time ago
[03:04] <Thirtysixway> Does anyone know much about /etc/hosts file?
[03:04] <nikitis> Thirtysixway I do
[03:04] <Thirtysixway> I was trying to get "esotalk.local" to point to <IP_ADDRESS>, and now when i type in http://localhost/ it redirects to 'esotalk.local'
[03:05] <Thirtysixway> and i don't know how to fix it so i have both localhost and esotalk.local
[03:05] <nikitis> Just have two entries
[03:05] <ShayGuy> My wireless still isn't working, but I've got enough of a battery charge that I should be able to stay on a while longer here.
[03:05] <theannihilator> nikitis did you use the client version on linux?
[03:06] <chalcedony> good for you ShayGuy
[03:06] <theannihilator> i mean the access module
[03:06] <nikitis> "<IP_ADDRESS>   localhost"  Then underneath it, "<IP_ADDRESS>   esotalk.local"
[03:06] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, what type of wireless open or encrypted
[03:07] <ShayGuy> Encrypted.
[03:07] <chalcedony> my hard drive died, ubuntu 8.04, my friend dave is recovering it, using his windows 7 box. he has it read only. I have ubuntu 9.04 on my drive, here.. but what do i need so that he can transfer the files to me?
[03:07] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, wpa?
[03:07] <bastidrazor> chalcedony: windows 7 can read ext3?
[03:07] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: Uh, think so. Pretty sure it's that or wpa2.
[03:07] <chelz> there's that ext2fs driver
[03:07] <mkquist> chalcedony: you meen like file sharing?
[03:07] <chelz> but that's the wrong way to do it
[03:08] <Thirtysixway> nikitis: okay i did that. but http://localhost/ still redirects to esotalk.local. is that an apache problem?
[03:08] <chelz> chalcedony: dd your drive, don't try to mount it. use ext3grep and gpart.
[03:08] <chalcedony> mkquist, he can see it and zip it, but then what does he / i need to do?
[03:08] <chelz> chalcedony: only work on the dd'd image you've made. don't mess with the original hdd besides making an image. again, don't try to mount.
[03:09] <chelz> chalcedony: use dd_rescue
[03:09] <chalcedony> k
[03:09] <chelz> chalcedony: also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[03:09] <Thirtysixway> nikitis: got it fixed. thank you!
[03:10] <chelz> chalcedony: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gpart
[03:10] <Evil_Otto> wow, ok... my screen takes a *really* long time to wake up from sleep.. like minutes
[03:10] <Evil_Otto> as in when the netbook is closed the machine sleeps, but when I open it the machien wakes up but the screen doesn't
[03:10] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, your pastebin is from ifconfig -a ?
[03:11] <chalcedony> chelz i'm reading - he won't read and i'm the mother of a linux guy, not the guru - he moved out.
[03:11] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: It's from iwconfig. I can do another for ifconfig.
[03:11] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, no need what wireless card do u have do you know?
[03:12] <mkquist> chalcedony: so hes copied the files, cant you just burn it to some media?
[03:12] <chelz> chalcedony: oh.. generally good to get a knowledgeable linux person around in emergency situations like data recovery. i mean unless you have backups. otherwise might be good to get that guy back there.
[03:12] <andromodon> Hi.  I have a question about Cron.  Why does "*     *      *     *    *         date > /file.txt" work in cron and "*     *      *     *    *         date +%s /file.txt" doesn't work?  The first produces file.txt every minute, and the second doesn't produce file.txt.  However, if I run the second command in a bash terminal, it seems to work fine?
[03:13] <chalcedony> chelz last time i talked to him he told me talking to me raised his blood pressure.
[03:13] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: Um... lspci | grep Wireless says "02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02)". Is that it?
[03:13] <ubuntitude> hey guys, quick question: I just wrote up a script to enable wireless connection between my ipod and my computer. It's working fine, but every time I execute it, it asks me if i'm sure I want to run it. Is there any way I can tell it that it's always okay?
[03:13] <chelz> andromodon: put whatever you want to run in a script and reference the script in cron
[03:13] <WilliamHerry> there is a command line utility that can can paste some commands output to a website and return a address, anyone know what it is?
[03:14] <chalcedony> mkquist, wondering if we can transfer it from his computer to mine with the lan or a cable?
[03:14] <bastidrazor> WilliamHerry: pastebinit
[03:14] <mkquist> chalcedony: sure, samba and file sharing would work
[03:14] <chelz> chalcedony: you might try seeking out a local Linux Users Group for knowledgeable local people that would help you. ideally an ubuntu local community team
[03:14] <chalcedony> mkquist, he has samba on his, what do i need to run here? (command line) ?
[03:14] <chelz> chalcedony: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeams
[03:15] <andromodon> chelz, Thanks for the tip.  That might solve my problem, but I want to understand cron better.
[03:15] <chalcedony> chelz, i haven't had much luck there.
[03:15] <WilliamHerry> bastidrazor: thanks
[03:15] <r0dy4> ecit
[03:15] <andromodon> WilliamHerry: pastebin.com?
[03:15] <Evil_Otto> Any thoughts as to what might be keeping my screen from waking up after the machine wakes up from sleep?  It takes like five minutes to wake back up
[03:16] <andromodon> Evil_Otto: no idea.
[03:16] <chalcedony> chelz besides i have dave here *tonight* ..
[03:16] <WilliamHerry> andromodon: yes
[03:16] <lolcat> Can I cmod recursivly?
[03:16] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, yes that is it hold on a sec
[03:16] <WilliamHerry> there is another one, but this one is fine
[03:16] <Tsims> Can someone help me figure out how to enable Num lock on startup?
[03:16] <ubuntitude> whenever I try to execute this script I wrote, I get this message: Do you want to run "RemotePad.sh", or display its contents? "RemotePad.sh" is an executable text file. Is there a way to classify the file as a script and not as a text file?
[03:17] <bastidrazor> lolcat: yes chmod -R
[03:17] <lolcat> bastidrazor: 777 is read/write forr everyone?
[03:17] <andromodon> lolcat: yes.  chmod -R
[03:18] <bastidrazor> lolcat: yes
[03:19] <bastidrazor> ubuntitude: the first line of the script file should be #!/bin/bash   or #~/bin/sh   .. my guess is you do not have that
[03:19] <andromodon> Hi.  I have a question about Cron.  Why does "*     *      *     *    *         date > /file.txt" work in cron and "*     *      *     *    *         date > +%s /file.txt" doesn't work?  The first produces file.txt every minute, and the second doesn't produce file.txt.  However, if I run the second command in a bash terminal, it seems to work fine?
[03:19] <chalcedony> chelz i typed the question in the #ale channel, but probably won't hear from anyone.
[03:19] <mkquist> chalcedony: right click on a file you want to share and ubuntu should install the packages you need to share. then he could just transfer the files across the lan, or you could install samba manually...
[03:19] <ubuntitude> bastidrazor: i have that, the script itself is working fine; i just have to tell it to run it as a script and not open it in geedit every time I try to execute it
[03:19] <WilliamHerry> /bin/date
[03:20] <chalcedony> mkquist, i think we will hit the firewall my son configured - only he knows the key.
[03:20] <andromodon> WilliamHerry:  Tried that.
[03:21] <bastidrazor> ubuntitude: i don't really know. i was just guessing.
[03:21] <mkquist> chalcedony: not if you both on this side of it? or is it wireless?
[03:21] <mkquist> chalcedony: your*
[03:21] <WilliamHerry>  date > +%s /file.txt" doesn't work?  should > after +%s ?
[03:21] <chalcedony> mkquist, we could both be wired - the wireless is completely blocked
[03:21] <mkquist> chalcedony: firewall protects your lan for the big bad net  =)
[03:21] <ubuntitude> bastidrazor: I may have figured it out; do you perchance know the command to open up a terminal session?
[03:21] <mkquist> chalcedony: all you have to do is reset the router to reconfigure the password
[03:22] <bastidrazor> ubuntitude: gnome-terminal
[03:22] <chalcedony> mkquist, how?
[03:22] <mkquist> chalcedony: providing you have any info to access your internet connection, like username/password
[03:22] <ubuntitude> bastidrazor: thanks, going to change the "Open With" properties to make the default opening program terminal
[03:22] <chelz> chalcedony: oh i was thinking bringing your stuff to a LUG meeting.
[03:22] <mkquist> chalcedony: routers typically have a reset switch on em, actually i think 'always' is more like it
[03:23] <chalcedony> dave says he's using 'disk internals linux tools'
[03:23] <chalcedony> with recovery
[03:23] <mkquist> chelz: but why not just plug in for now, quicker
[03:23] <ubuntitude> bastidrazor: or maybe that won't work...hmmm
[03:23] <chalcedony> mkquist, but then i'd have to reconfigure the router from scratch?
[03:23] <mkquist> chalcedony: right
[03:24] <chalcedony> it's a netgear N router and for the moment it checks out well on tests for security
[03:25] <chalcedony> mkquist,  it's a netgear N router -for the moment it checks out well on tests for security
[03:25] <binarymutant> what does the wayland move mean to users of tiling window managers like awesome||dwm? does wayland provide the same api?
[03:25] <mkquist> chalcedony: like i said, need to know the info for the router to access your internet provider, thats the main of it... username/password, maybe if its pppoe or not...
[03:25] <mit> Well I never though I would have to do this after using Linux for the last 7 years. But I've finally found an issue I can't seem to solve by searching on Google. So I was hoping someone here might be able to help.
[03:26] <andromodon> problem solved.  I guess '%' is a special character to cron and needs to be escaped.
[03:26] <mit> I just bought a new graphics card today an GeForce GT 240
[03:26] <mit> I've gone as far as downloading a compiling the latest Nvidia Drivers for the card
[03:26] <chalcedony> mkquist, if he's not here and we reset the router to defaults, the next step is comcast motorola surfboard..
[03:27] <mit> however X never starts when using the nvidia driver
[03:27] <mkquist> chalcedony: not sure what that means...
[03:27] <l1sbeth> is this the proper channel to be in, if I'm looking for a helping hand?
[03:27] <mit> I don't get any errors or warnings. even after creating modelines
[03:27] <mit> all I get is a Segmentation Fault
[03:27] <garfwen> I tried but couldnt do
[03:27] <andromodon> mit: is there a reason you didn't use the pre-packaged nvidia drivers for your distribution?
[03:28] <mit> ya, they didn't work either
[03:28] <chalcedony> mkquist, cable router > negear router > lan
[03:28] <andromodon> mit:  they segfault too?
[03:28] <mit> so I was hoping the latest ones would work which in times pass did the trick
[03:28] <mit> ya
[03:28] <mit> they also segfaulted too
[03:28] <andromodon> mit: what distro?
[03:28] <chalcedony> wb chelz :)
[03:28] <mit> Ubuntu 10.04
[03:29] <spikku> mit: This may sound silly but have you tried reseeding the card?
[03:29] <andromodon> I assume you've done a "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"?
[03:29] <chelz> chalcedony: how are you accessing your "dead" hdd? and how did it die, specifically?
[03:29] <mit> well I would do that except X works fine when using the Vesa driver
[03:29] <spikku> mit: ahh
[03:29] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, sorry it took so long we need to find out why you have no wlan interface what version of ubuntu you using?
[03:30] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: Maverick.
[03:30] <mit> does anyone know if there are known issues with NVidia Cards on AMD boards?
[03:30] <l1sbeth> I'm on an old iBook G4 and I've just installed ubuntu 10.10, but I'm having trouble with the wifi drivers. I've installed b43-fwcutter, but it does not appear to work! At least, I can't get it working. Anyone know anything about b43-fwcutter?
[03:30] <chalcedony> chelz june before last, i went to eat dinner with my husband in the other room, when i came back my screen was black with a white arrow, it never restarted and i got new components and built a new box.
[03:31] <Gnea> mit: haven't noticed any here
[03:31] <mkquist> chalcedony: couldnt restart it, like no power?
[03:31] <furi> how can i reset all of my console prefs to my system's default via a livecd?
[03:32] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, are you using network manager?
[03:32] <chelz> chalcedony: chances are your data is just fine. if you're plugging your old hdd straight into this dave guy's mobo, have him boot an ubuntu livecd, then copy off the stuff you want. you can also use an external enclosure to get access that drive more easily in the future
[03:32] <chalcedony> mkquist, like drive wasn't turning, maybe a noise from it or the fan, i didnt want to touch it until i got help.
[03:32] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: No, Wicd. nm-applet shows "device not managed" under both Wired Network and Wireless Networks.
[03:32] <Evil_Otto> what's the command to update the entire distro from 10.04 to 10.10?
[03:33] <chalcedony> chelz he's got it in an enclosure with a fan, usb'd to his computer, he will end up with tarred data, what to do next is the question?
[03:33] <bastidrazor> !upgrade | Evil_Otto
[03:33] <Evil_Otto> thanks
[03:33] <mit> does anyone have any clues on what I could search on to help fix my issue?
[03:33] <l1sbeth> !wifi
[03:33] <Gnea> mit: you could try settling it down to 3 keywords
[03:34] <l1sbeth> been there already :(
[03:34] <chalcedony> chelz mkquist it's allowing him to get the data, so maybe its not dead dead .. praying.

[03:34] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, what is the output of ifup wlan0
[03:34] <chelz> chalcedony: install ubuntu on your new computer, plug the usb in, then copy over the stuff you want. btw in the future put together a good backup system
[03:34] <chelz> chalcedony: as in backup methodology
[03:34] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied
[03:35] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, put sudo in front of it sorry
[03:35] <dsnyders> !init
[03:35] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. Should I try eth1?
[03:35] <chalcedony> chelz "install ubuntu on your new computer - it's done, i have 9.04, plug the usb in, then copy over the stuff you want." - how?
[03:36] <mit> here is a print out of the Backtrace: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531525/plain/
[03:36] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, no eth1 is wired
[03:36] <xangua> chalcedony: 9.04 is no longer supported
[03:36] <bastidrazor> ctmjr: sometimes eth1 is wireless .. wicd is weird that way.
[03:37] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: I thought eth0 was wired.
[03:37] <chalcedony> xangua, yes and if i live through the next week and get work done i will figure out how to save my stuff and put 10* on it
[03:37] <scorchgeek> ctmjr: nah, I've ended up with a wired eth1 before
[03:37] <ctmjr> bastidrazor, thank you
[03:37] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, ok try eth1
[03:38] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: http://pastebin.com/Zrm2RT7W
[03:39] <chalcedony> actually xangua i got kind of paranoid about upgrading without help, so i waited.
[03:39] <dsnyders> HI all! What is the first thing that runs when you log in?
[03:39] <ubuntitude> so does anyone know how to make a script be automatically run by terminal instead of asking if it wants to be displayed in a text editor?
[03:39] <l1sbeth> can anyone help me using b43-fwcutter to extract the firmware for my BCM4306/2 card in order to enable wifi on an iBook G4?
[03:40] <lea123> When you partion the disk do you have to use to the PARTITION TABLE anywhere....
[03:40] <lea123> option i meant
[03:40] <hxcjonnysniper> my computer wont boot past checking battery state... WHY IS THIS? i have to run the computer in failsafeX mode
[03:40] <chalcedony> hxcjonnysniper, what are you running and what are you running it on?
[03:41] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, I shouldn't offer advice because I'm the biggest newbie around, but couldn't you just make the script executable with chmond +x ?
[03:41] <hxcjonnysniper> chalcedony: ubuntu 10.10  on compaq 6710b laptop.
[03:41] <scorchgeek> l1sbeth: yes, that gives you the prompt still
[03:41] <scorchgeek> if you run from terminal, it doesn't bother you, but double-clicking in gnome still does
[03:41] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth it's executable, but I have to tell it to execute itself every time I run it. Just trying to get around the hassle of pressing an extra button every time I execute it
[03:41] <dsnyders> l1sbeth, chmod, not chmond
[03:42] <l1sbeth> :)
[03:42] <l1sbeth> I'm glad I prefixed my suggestion then :)
[03:42] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, do sudo ifconfig eth1 down then sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[03:42] <ubuntitude> e.g. every time I click on it it asks if i want to run it in terminal, display it, cancel, or run
[03:43] <ubuntitude> i just want it to automatically run when i click on it
[03:43] <chalcedony> l1sbeth, you did fine :)
[03:43] <mit> The main thing I'm trying to do is get a card that will play 1080p content smoothly under linux. So if anyone knows of an alternate Card that should work that would fix my issue as well...
[03:43] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: "SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill"
[03:44] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, is wicd running? if it is stop it
[03:44] <bastidrazor> ShayGuy: do you have a wireless button on your laptop? that would indicated the wireless button is in the off position?
[03:45] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, what about adding -f to the "click" command thing. Maybe that would force it open :/ Anyway, I don't suppose any of you know something about b43-fwcutter? I've been trying to get it working for hours now
[03:45] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: Done.
[03:45] <hxcjonnysniper> im stuck at boot. can someone help me? it hangs up at the checking battery state line. i tried installing nvidia drivers and this happened.
[03:45] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: nope, sorry. :( that sounds like a more platform-specific issue. It'll be tough finding a person who has the same issue. That's the problem with using a OS that's almost universally compatible :P
[03:46] <ubuntitude> an* OS
[03:46] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, do as bastidrazor says and make sure the wireless button is on
[03:46] <dsnyders> !inittab
[03:46] <No-Life> hello
[03:46] <ShayGuy> bastidrazor: I can never remember which position is on and which is off, but I have tried flipping it. I just now did again, and the light turned blue.  I've read all the documentation I've been able to find online. Most people say you apt-get the program and when it installs, it should prompt you for allowing it to download the correct firmware, but when I do it, it does not prompt me and so it installs only the program and not the drivers
[03:47] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: is this a wireless internet issue?
[03:48] <shing`> Does anyone know if I have to do anything else to enable vsync? I'm not running compiz, and I've enabled it in nvidia-settings, but I'm still getting tearing when playing videos in vlc
[03:48] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: Sorry, forgot to address you too with that one.
[03:48] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, now if it is encrypted you need to add some stuff to your /etc/network/interfaces or try wicd again
[03:48] <i3onkerz> first day unbuntu and whats the easyest way to get mirc to work?
[03:48] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, yeah, it is
[03:49] <ShayGuy> ctmjr: Wicd is still saying "No wireless networks found."
[03:49] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, if the script runs in a terminal, isn't there a command that could be added on saying "run in terminal" ?
[03:49] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, ok stop it we will try something else
[03:49] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: ah...ubuntu is notorious for wireless internet issues...i screwed with my computer for days when i first installed Ubuntu before it worked
[03:50] <i3onkerz> is wine a opition?
[03:50] <ShayGuy> Sorry. Battery almost dead again.
[03:50] <shing`> anyone? enabling vsync?
[03:50] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: i've tried setting the default open program to terminal, nothing. I have no idea
[03:50] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, darn darn and darn. And I just can't make sense of the man file
[03:51] <mit> what sort of info would I need to give you peeps to help my trouble shoot my xserver issues?
[03:51] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: I didn't have to use any package called ubcutter or whatever you called it.
[03:51] <hxcjonnysniper> ubuntu won't boot all the way. it gets stuck at "checking battery state" anyone know what to do?
[03:51] <grr> why does ubuntu 10.10 System Monitor show 2 cpu's on an AMD X3 processor?
[03:51] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: i just screwed with eth0 settings for days on end
[03:51] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: and eventually it magically started working
[03:52] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, that's so linux
[03:52] <l1sbeth> You start looking for one package
[03:52] <l1sbeth> and then end up having to find fifty more for the first one to work :D
[03:52] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: have you run a full systems diagnostic on your hardware? It might reveal some issues you didn't know were there
[03:53] <ubuntitude> unfortunately i don't remember the command to do that :/
[03:53] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, where do I do that? All it says is the wifi is missing firmware
[03:53] <grr> Anyone have a problem where Ubuntu reports less cpu cores than is running?
[03:53] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: it's a command in terminal that gets all the specs from your various cards and such
[03:54] <hxcjonnysniper> ubuntu won't boot all the way. it gets stuck at "checking battery state" anyone know what to do?
[03:54] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: unfortunately I forget the command atm
[03:54] <l1sbeth> that's okay
[03:54] <DCC> Hello, I need some help installing ubuntu. Can someone here maybe answer a few questions?
[03:54] <ubuntitude> DCC: sure
[03:54] <bastidrazor> ubuntitude: lspci or even sudo lshw
[03:54] <DCC> great!
[03:54] <ubuntitude> bastidrazor: yeah, lspci, that's it
[03:55] <hxcjonnysniper> ubuntu won't boot all the way. it gets stuck at "checking battery state" anyone know what to do?
[03:55] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: run an lspci in terminal
[03:55] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, I've run that so many times :( It gets me the firmware information, that is, BCM4306/2
[03:55] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: ah that sucks...all i remember is that what set me on the extremely windy and confusing road to getting my wireless to work
[03:56] <DCC> I'm trying to install ubuntu along side windows visita but when I get to the install screenfor "allocate drive space" I don't have the choice to install alongsode windows. does anyone know how I can get that?
[03:56] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: i have a really outdated computer, too, so i was lucky to find the drivers on some random Intel website that was like 10 years old
[03:56] <ubuntitude> and after that I forget what I did :/
[03:56] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, it's just I can't find the firmware. Ubuntu identifies it as b43-open/ucode5.fw, but I can't find it anywhere
[03:57] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, haha, that usually only happens with me and printers
[03:57] <ubuntitude> are you using synaptic, or searching online?
[03:57] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, both
[03:57] <Jygga> why is bzip2 so damn freakin slow ?
[03:57] <ubuntitude> they're probably buried somewhere online. You can always find the manufacturer of your wireless card and ask them if they have the drivers on file
[03:57] <Jygga> ah pbzip2 ftw
[03:58] <ubuntitude> DCC: you should be able to allocate a certain amount of drive space to Ubuntu
[03:58] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, the manufactor is apple. That's the problem
[03:58] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: oh god
[03:58] <carloscrespo> buenas noches
[03:58] <azbr00> l1sbeth: Just curious, are you trying to setup a wireless card in an iMac (or something) with b43-fwcutter?
[03:59] <DCC> ubuntitude: I have that chioce but I'm not pc smart enough to to it manually
[03:59] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: may open source software have mercy on your soul
[03:59] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, indeed, that's why it has to be extracted from 'within' the card or something
[03:59] <l1sbeth> azbr00, trying to setup an airport extreme on an iBook G4 with b43-fwcutter, yeah
[03:59] <l1sbeth> ubuntitude, haha
[03:59] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: I don't even know if Apple uses conventional wireless technology. I thought they were big on making their own stuff for everything
[04:00] <azbr00> l1sbeth: are you having trouble installing the driver without an Internet connection?
[04:00] <Jygga> actually im going to fetch me a Macbook Pro 15 next week and install ubuntu on that thing
[04:00] <Jygga> will be fun
[04:00] <ubuntitude> DCC: when you're at that screen, what options do you have?
[04:00] <Jygga> its less complicated than installing ubuntu on a vaio Z -.-
[04:00] <ctmjr> ShayGuy, you still here?
[04:00] <ubuntitude> i have a Dell Latitude D610 from the nineties. Don't talk to me about complicated :P
[04:01] <ubuntitude> either nineties or early 2000s, that is
[04:01] <time_squatter> anyone here ever use ndiswrapper to setup a wired interface?
[04:01] <l1sbeth> azbr00, no, I'm wired to the wall right now in the most uncomfortable position I've ever found myself in :D
[04:01] <ubuntitude> time_squatter: I have, but I forget how i did it.
[04:01] <DCC> ubuntitude: I'm at the install screen that's titled Allocate drive space: options are: erase and use the entire disk OR soecify partitions manually
[04:02] <ubuntitude> DCC: specify partitions manually
[04:02] <DCC> ubuntitude: check
[04:02] <ubuntitude> DCC: It should be telling you how much space Vista is taking up, and ask you how much you want to set aside for Ubuntu
[04:02] <time_squatter> ubuntitude: I ran the command with the right .inf file and other files.  It said it installed ok but I don't see any extra interface
[04:03] <mjun> 2
[04:03] <ubuntitude> time_squatter: ndiswrapper, or the wired ethernet itself?
[04:03] <l1sbeth> see you all later, nice talking with you ubuntitude
[04:03] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: dittp
[04:03] <azbr00> l1sbeth: Hmmm... might be different from me then. I had to install the wireless drivers on an iMac G5 the other day (completely off-line) and I had to manually set it up (download everything on another computer and copy it over)
[04:03] <ubuntitude> l1sbeth: ditto*
[04:03] <DCC> ubuntitude: I see 3 different things listed under device, each w/different sizes. i know windows had set up a back-up drive, which I would like to just load ubuntu over but I'm not sure which it is
[04:04] <ubuntitude> DCC: not sure. I installed Ubuntu over a bricked device, so I didn't have to worry about that, and as such, I don't have much experience with it :/
[04:05] <DCC> hmm...alright, thanks anyway
[04:05] <time_squatter> ubuntitude: when I type ifconfig -a I don't see any extra intefaces after instalilng the widows driver
[04:07] <iszak> How do I check the version of a package in the repo?
[04:08] <bastidrazor> iszak: apt-cache policy packagename
[04:08] <iszak> Thanks.
[04:08] <i3onkerz> whats the best way to get mirc to work on ubuntu?
[04:08] <WilliamHerry> aptitude search pkgname
[04:08] <ubuntitude> time_squatter: so you can't set up the ethernet connection through ubuntu's connection manager?
[04:08] <Blue1> iszak: or dpkg -l <packagename>
[04:09] <Blue1> i3onkerz: run it under wine
[04:09] <time_squatter> ubuntitude: no
[04:10] <maiku_> is it possible to expand the partitioned hard drive space i allocated for ubuntu? i am running low on space now :/
[04:10] <Habstinat> Trying to install Ubuntu from a USB, but my computer won't recognize it. What can I do about this?
[04:10] <i3onkerz> Thanks ill try that today is my first day in the lin world..
[04:10] <WilliamHerry> welcome
[04:10] <ubuntitude> time_squatter: weird...i didn't need ndiswrapper for my ethernet connection
[04:10] <Blue1> maiku_: yes if you have free space in another paritition - but the partitions MUST be unmounted - easily done in gparted off of livecd
[04:11] <Blue1> maiku_: or you can just delete some things....
[04:11] <i3onkerz> habstinat      there is a usb down load you need that will help you with that..
[04:12] <Habstinat> i3onkerz: Hm? What download? I already mounted 10.10 to my USB stick.
[04:12] <i3onkerz> it will use the .iso file
[04:12] <iszak> Blue1, doesn't that imply it's installed tho?
[04:12] <maiku_> well i have 500gb free.
[04:12] <time_squatter> ubuntitude: i've tried just about everything, I think i'm using ndsiwrapper right.  I'm starting to thnik it might be fried or somerthing
[04:12] <i3onkerz> you useing desktop or net book?
[04:12] <dsnyders> Can anyone point me to a list of the sequence of events that happens when you log in?
[04:12] <maiku_>  i can unmount with the disk utility
[04:12] <maiku_> desktop
[04:12] <ubuntitude> time_squatter: might be. the only time i used ndiswrapper was for wireless. Wired took like 30 seconds to set up for me.
[04:13] <maiku_> what do i  do?
[04:13] <Habstinat> i3onkerz: Desktop, x64.
[04:13] <i3onkerz> today is my first day but i used the web site and it had step by step instructions.
[04:14] <i3onkerz> i got it on my net book and got it on my sd drive
[04:15] <i3onkerz> iv been drinken so my brain is being A.d.d
[04:15] <chalcedony>  does ubuntu store all my files that i might want to keep in the home directory, or do i need something else?
[04:15] <time_squatter> oh. is ndiswrapper only for wireless drivers?  It sure does say that in the manual.  I didn't notice that
[04:15] <Habstinat> i3onkerz: Looked at the website, mounted the iso to my USB, but the website says when I reboot my computer will recognize the stick but it doesn't, hence me being here
[04:15] <ctmjr> time_squatter, yes it is
[04:16] <maiku_> so i formatted 307gb to ext4 for ubuntu....now what do i do? mount it back?
[04:16] <i3onkerz> need to goto bios to change boot priorty
[04:16] <ubuntitude> time_squatter: you should just be able to screw around with the network connections interface and it should work
[04:16] <i3onkerz> f8     or f2   diffenrt boxes do diffenrt things
[04:16] <Habstinat> i3onkerz: That's what I'm trying to do, but there doesn't seem to be a key to go to BIOS in the boot screen.
[04:17] <zerocide> anyone know when ubuntu 10.10 is using an older kernel than 10.4 LTS?
[04:17] <zerocide> why* not when
[04:17] <Habstinat> i3onkerz: Got it, I think. I'm in BIOS.
[04:17] <i3onkerz> do a restart and hit f8 over and over agin untell somthing happands
[04:18] <i3onkerz> change your boot to boot usb first
[04:19] <chalcedony>  does ubuntu store all my files that i might want to restore in the home directory, or do i need something else?
[04:19] <rockets> # Appears as ANNA
[04:20] <maiku_> so now that i have a seprate partition formated in ext4 ...what do i do blue1 bluel
[04:20] <gaby> hola!
[04:21] <Blue1> maiku_: you'd boot off the live install cd, run gparted, and resize the partitions - this is a very time consuming process
[04:21] <maiku_> gotcha. ill give it a go...will it mess with any of my files?
[04:21] <Fyrboy5> Can anyone help me, I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 and the resolution is to small but when I go to change it turns the screen to a white/grey and fades in all white. I have found one other res that kinda works but leave verticl lines on the right of my screen on the laptop
[04:21] <Blue1> maiku_: note -- partitions MUST be unmounted, and gparted MUST be run as root (sudo)
[04:22] <Blue1> Fyrboy5: do you know what the video card is that you have?
[04:22] <i3onkerz> fyrboy unsported vidio card
[04:22] <maiku_> okay so unmount the spare partition and just pop the live cd in?
[04:23] <i3onkerz> maybe?
[04:23] <i3onkerz> wrong driver?
[04:23] <Fyrboy5> ATI Radeon Mobility 9700
[04:23] <Blue1> maiku_: no no - you must BOOT off the livecd -- this sounds like it might be a bit over your head
[04:23] <maiku_> no i understand.
[04:23] <Fyrboy5> I am very much a noob to Ubuntu
[04:24] <maiku_> ill figure it out.
[04:24] <Habstinat> Should it usually take > 5 minutes to load the booting from USB?
[04:24] <i3onkerz> mobility cards are not main stream drivers... hope the other peeps here could point you in the right direction.
[04:25] <Habstinat> My computer has just had a black screen for a while.
[04:25] <Tweedle> ati sucks with ubu
[04:25] <Tweedle> :(
[04:25] <WilliamHerry> how to make vim don't wrap a long line?
[04:25] <i3onkerz> screen saver habtinat?
[04:25] <chelz> chalcedony: copy over what you think you need, but keep the drive in the enclosure around in case you forgot something you needed
[04:25] <Tweedle> Habstinat, thats normal i think, mine dows that too but i can see my mouse
[04:26] <chelz> WilliamHerry: top result: http://www.google.com/search?q=vim+wrap+lines
[04:26] <Habstinat> Tweedle: The screen appears to be off. No mouse.
[04:26] <chalcedony> chelz logical, but am i likely to get it if we get the home directory? (and thanks for coming back and answering)
[04:26] <Habstinat> Tweedle: Just set up the BIOS to boot from USB right before.
[04:27] <thechitowncubs> How do you remove software that was installed with 'make install' ??
[04:27] <chelz> chalcedony: it totally depends on what you were doing. generally i'd say yes, but system configuration stuff might not be.
[04:27] <chelz> thechitowncubs: make uninstall
[04:27] <WilliamHerry> chelz: thanks
[04:28] <WilliamHerry> chelz: i should search google first
[04:28] <chelz> WilliamHerry: yes :)
