[00:00] <asathoor> :ubottu wacom
[00:00] <Hellhound666> I have a small question..
[00:00] <LameBucket> ok.. lets try this again..
[00:01] <zvacet> on every start wicd is asking for password how can I change that
[00:01] <LameBucket> hey guys, i installed ubuntu on my machine using the text installer.. but now its loading into a resolution that is not working with my TV.. i pressed ctrl+alt+F1 and now am at a command prompt.. is there a way to change the resolution so i can see what I am doing?
[00:01] <ZykoticK9> asathoor, there isn't a wacom factoid - but you can use "/msg ubottu wacom" to see that for yourself
[00:01] <Hellhound666> I have a cap file thats over 20000 and  the program keeps telling me to try with a larger file over and over.
[00:01] <Hellhound666> Am I just not using the right algorithm to crack it with?
[00:02] <Hellhound666> oh sorry wrong channel
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: start the x server now and it should be ok, if not you will need to define the display in xorg.conf maybe#
[00:02] <LameBucket> how do i start xserver?
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: startx
[00:03] <LameBucket> it says "Fatal server error: server is already active for display 0
[00:03] <clickme> ZykoticK9: yes
[00:03] <clickme> ZykoticK9: no wait
[00:03] <clickme> ZykoticK9: Cairo i mean
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: you have an x server runing then, you could just reboot now
[00:03] <ZykoticK9> clickme, i searched online and i can't find any mention of themes for gnome-do dockey...
[00:04] <clickme> ZykoticK9: i meant Cairo
[00:04] <ZykoticK9> clickme, ok that makes more sense - sorry i don't use Cairo, good luck
[00:04] <midnighthacker> well im using ubuntu now i just wanna know if i can transfer deban to work in backtrack

[00:04] <ActionParsnip> !backtrack
[00:05] <LameBucket> ActionParsnip: It still did the same thing.. the TV says "Not Support!" and i can hear ubuntu start in the background..
[00:05] <clickme> LameBucket: did u see the link i send you
[00:05] <juan1> I need to setup a WIFI ubuntu router/server, i cant make the wifi to make an ESSID via configs, anyone knows the commands to make it manually?
[00:05] <woodyjlw> what would cause the the close and minimize buttons to end up on left side of screen instead of right? and how do I put it back lol
[00:05] <LameBucket> ActionParsnip: Is there a way that i can force a resolution?
[00:05] <asathoor> has anyone in here success using Bamboo from Wacom with U 9.10?
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: then i'd look into setting up an xorg.conf file, maybe your tv needs to select a different input
[00:05] <MgMt> why does my software center thing say 0 items
[00:06] <LameBucket> clickme: no.. can you send it again
[00:06] <MgMt> is there a way to update it?
[00:06] <clickme> LameBucket: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> mgmt: sudo apt-get update
[00:06] <joeG> asathoor, yes.  Lemme dig up the how-to.
[00:06] <clickme> LameBucket: try booting into safe mode
[00:06] <MgMt> thanks
[00:06] <LameBucket> clickme: I already tried that.. it would just crash and wouldnt work.
[00:06] <spartan07> have OO 3.1 on Ubuntu 9.1. I wanted to know if there was somewhere I could find icons for the applications? not the application icons but the actual buttons when looking at for example open office writer?
[00:06] <juan1> need to make a wifi, just like the network-manager does, but on CLI
[00:07] <LameBucket> ActionParsnip: can i set one up from the terminal.. its all i can see righ tnow..
[00:07] <juan1> how to?
[00:07] <clickme> LameBucket: you be willing to download the live CD and installing it again
[00:07] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: sure its just a text file
[00:07] <MgMt> actionparsnip that didnt seem to work
[00:07] <asathoor> thanx joeG - I have read http://linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/ and some Ubuntu fora
[00:08] <umbra_> when "http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=688872" refers to "the location of the CD tree" what is meant?  Is this the path to the cd writer?
[00:09] <brjann> spartan07: do you mean the actual images that are used for the application icons?
[00:09] <LameBucket> ActionParsnip: could you help me do that?
[00:09] <joeG> asathoor http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1321238  This worked for me.
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> umbra_: its the files and folders which will make up the ISO
[00:09] <asathoor> joeG >> thanx I'll look into it
[00:09] <spartan07> brjann: nope the buttons when you open up say writer like the open button or undo button
[00:10] <ZykoticK9> LameBucket, to create an xorg see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> LameBucket: sudo Xorg -configure    will make a skeletal file, you can then add settings etc
[00:10] <LameBucket> clickme: I have already downloaded it twice.. its not the cd.. its the resolution that it puts it in is not one my tv can use.. so i used the text installer to install it..
[00:10] <LaughingLion> hey, i'm having some problems installing ubuntu
[00:10] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: did you MD5 test the file you downloaded? did yuo verify the media once created?
[00:10] <asathoor> joeG > this guide looks interesting, there are more details than the previous ones - so I'll give it a try
[00:11] <LaughingLion> i went through the steps on the live-cd, but when i restarted it takes me to a blank screen with grub on it
[00:11] <LaughingLion> no i don't think so :(
[00:11] <IdleOne> How can I get a Move To Directory option in the right click menu of nautilus?
[00:11] <joeG> asathoor, you can pretty much copy/paste the codes given in the post to the command line and let it rip.
[00:11] <MOzart> Hello i have an idea in the sandbox and i would like to know that you think about it here it is: Idea #23904: Sort applications also by Name/Populariy/Rate etc in Ubuntu Software Center
[00:11] <umbra_> ActionParsnip, I'm afraid I'm still lost with that... How does the "CD Tree" refer to files and folders used to make up the iso when it sounds like a directory?
[00:11] <juan1> need to make a wifi, just like the network-manager does, but on CLI, How to?
[00:12] <Jon-> juan1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258857
[00:12] <ActionParsnip> umbra_: the directory structure in an OS is like a tree with branches being folders and subfolders being branches off that, files can be considered as leaves
[00:12] <juan1> thanks Jon-
[00:12] <Jon-> juan1: Just googled it. :P
[00:12] <umbra_> ActionParsnip, Yes, but then is the reference to a directory where the files will be placed?
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: then you have no way of knowing if the data you downloaded is complete and error free and nor do you know if the media creation was 100% succesful do you?
[00:13] <ActionParsnip> umbra_: thats all i know dude
[00:13] <brjann> spartan07: like these? http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo_galaxy.html
[00:13] <LameBucket> ZykoticK9: I am using an nvidia and so it tells me to do "sudo nvidia-xconfig" and when i run it it says that the command was not found..
[00:13] <umbra_> ActionParsnip, thanks man
[00:13] <LaughingLion> i guess not, but i had another operating system on my computer and i can't boot that either now
[00:13] <LaughingLion> i think it's a problem with grub
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: check the iso, check the cd
[00:14] <asathoor> joeG - yea so that's the action then.  Thanx for your answr
[00:14] <LaughingLion> how do i do that :)?
[00:14] <zvacet> I have small problem with wicd is anybody willing to help
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> LameBucket, perhaps you don't have the nvidia driver/programs installed.  You can use the non-nvidia method right now.
[00:14] <bencc> something on my server is eating all the disk space. how can I check what is it?
[00:14] <spartan07> brjann: yes like that. Is there a place with alot of them. I could not find any @ gnome art
[00:15] <brjann> spartan07: well, there are a few more here: http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/OOo_icon_evolution.html
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> bencc: remove unnecessary kernels is a great way to claw back space, as is bleachbit
[00:15] <MatBoy> can someone recommend an external 56K modem which is recognized well under ubuntu ?
[00:15] <brjann> spartan07: you might find still more combing through the openoffice visual design site, http://ui.openoffice.org/VisualDesign/
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | matboy
[00:16] <ZykoticK9> shazbotmcnasty, Pizzadude fonts can be PURCHASED from http://www.pizzadude.dk/home.php (they aren't free to distribute, so please no more asking)
[00:16] <MatBoy> ActionParsnip: for modems that does not work... only testing works :)
[00:16] <bencc> ActionParsnip:  I need to find what taking space because it'll eat everything I'll clear
[00:17] <LameBucket> ZykoticK9: its still doing the same thing.. nothing is on the TV besides "Not Support!" after i did the non nvidia
[00:17] <MatBoy> ActionParsnip: some modems are just not detected
[00:17] <juan1> Jon-: i trying to do the opposite, not to JOIN a wifi, but "Create a New Wifi" option just like network-manager does, but on CLI
[00:17] <ZykoticK9> LameBucket, does it really say "Not Support!" that isn't even english really
[00:17] <LaughingLion> ActionParsnip: How do i check the cd?
[00:17] <LameBucket> ZykoticK9: yes... it really says that..
[00:17] <spartan07> I looked on openoffice site, but did not even know there was a Visual Design site. Thank you. Is there a way to have openoffice use the icons from ubuntu? for example Im using moblin icons and when I use abiword, abiword uses the style.
[00:18] <ZykoticK9> LameBucket, what sort of TV is this?
[00:18] <LameBucket> Vizio VW26L
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: its on the first screen you see when you boot the cd
[00:18] <Jon-> juan1: Talk to someone else I am not that good with CLI lol, I just googled it for you last time.
[00:18] <zvacet> juan1:  see if http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=571188 can help you
[00:18] <brjann> spartan07: I really don't know, sorry. you might ask in #Openoffice.org

[00:26] <clickme> LameBucket: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/lucid/alpha-3/
[00:26] <brjann> Jon-: things do get a little ugly when the application insists on writing to stdout or stderr, so sometimes you'll have to redirect their output to /dev/null or a file to keep from getting spammed by text from backgrounded processes

[00:30] <avi93> awww it sucks...
[00:30] <chilli0> I know that im getting an input and my sound works all good.
[00:30] <Emery> ActionParsnip, the xconfig gui is included with the nvidia software, no joy
[00:30] <chilli0> But it just doesn't play the mic through the speakers.
[00:30] <Fernandos> and it  has a internal graphics card too: Intel GS45 I don't know more. sorry
[00:31] <Fernandos> Maybe you know more than I do.. I bought a HP TouchSmart TM2
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> Emery: the nvidia-xconfig command will make a skeletal xorg.conf file so you can start edittning it with nvidia settings
[00:31] <luis_> Hello I got problems with my laptop bluetooth: I have an aspire 4520 but the bluetooth doesnt works, the kbluetooth icon is grey

[00:32] <BluesKaj-Laptop> hipitihop, yes , ssh into the machine , open the file manager with nautilus& and find your music and it will play on the remote machine
[00:32] <kellyh> isix: have you somehow turned it off by a killswitch of other such thing?
[00:32] <kellyh> Fernandos: i've no idea sorry, never tried such hardware
[00:32] <froh> luis_, look at the output of lsusb, it should show you what usb hardware you hawe, then you can google it
[00:32] <Emery> ActionParsnip, bad lol im not 12 ;)

[00:37] <hipitihop> BluesKaj-Laptop, Festival is a text to speech engine which I am setting up on a remote machine ... to test it I want to hear the playback of the remote machine from my ssh session

[00:38] <Fernandos> froh: NOT the touchpad. My display has multitouch
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: check stuff in future, its there for a reason ;)
[00:38] <Fernandos> froh: ok. both have multitouch.
[00:39] <blood_> ada orang indonesia kah?
[00:39] <Fernandos> froh: all I found is what you found + howto compile xy... which doesn't sound like an easy solution..
[00:39] <^ardian^> Can i upload files to ftp from terminal ?
[00:39] <avi93> anyone can help please with firefox and java plugin?
[00:40] <LaughingLion> ActionParsnip: I will :).  Someone should really put that in the install instructions.
[00:40] <jiontro> hello to all
[00:40] <avi93> hey
[00:40] <Fernandos> froh: this is what I bought.. http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/06/hp-touchsmart-tm2-convertible-tablet-slims-down-and-spruces-up/
[00:40] <jiontro> i am new to ubuntu
[00:40] <froh> Fernandos, the sad truth is that progress on the mainstream linux desktop is mostly driven by copying someone else's features
[00:41] <jiontro> and i have one questions why i cannot acces my yahoo account
[00:41] <Fernandos> froh: ok.. in which relation is this to multitouch? sry didn't get what you say
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> LaughingLion: i agree :(
[00:41] <ZykoticK9> !coc > shazbotmcnasty
[00:42] <Fernandos> I'm not new to ubuntu, but I am totally new to multitouch
[00:42] <isix> ubuntu identifies the wireless but it is not enabled how to enable the wireless card....ifup and ifdown dose not work
[00:42] <froh> Fernandos, it means youll have to wait until someone copies the fetures of iphone , osx ,win7 or wht ever
[00:43] <Fernandos> froh: ah.. ok
[00:43] <BluesKaj-Laptop> hipitihop, you need to use the speechengine app whatever it is called after you ssh into your other machine . Can you ssh into it?
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> isix: if you run: sudo iwlist scan   does it show APs?
[00:43] <chetnick>
[00:43] <elmakaru_22> hi
[00:43] <Fernandos> if that's truth it's sad. idk
[00:44] <Mage__> Hey all, not sure where else to post this so I'll ask it here.  How do I suggest a program to be packaged for ubuntu?
[00:44] <isix> lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.
[00:44] <isix> eth0      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[00:44] <isix> eth1      Interface doesn't support scanning.
[00:44] <isix> wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[00:44] <FloodBot3> isix: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:44] <hipitihop> BluesKaj-Laptop, I have done that, I ssh in to my other machine, getting a prompt and I then run the speech engine command which I gave you earlier .. but I do not hear anything
[00:44] <jiontro> nor kopete and pidgin cannot connect to the yahoo server  pls any help, iḿ a desktop user
[00:44] <taofd> for some reason computertemp doesn't work for me... I'm on an acer aspireone
[00:45] <brjann> Mage__: #ubuntu-motu I think
[00:45] <froh> Fernandos, yes this is why this year wont be the year of the linux desktop either
[00:45] <Mage__> brjann, alright thanks:)
[00:45] <chetnick> hipitihop: i don't think you are able to hear, since you are executing command on remote machine.
[00:45] <blood_> hmpf
[00:45] <chetnick> hipitihop: unless machine is near you.
[00:45] <isix> sorry for the flood any ideas?
[00:46] <kellyh> isix: is it enabled in bios?
[00:46] <taofd> How can I monitor my computer temperature? I wanted to install the gnome applet computertemp, but it's not working
[00:46] <BluesKaj-Laptop> hipitihop, what command are you using to launch the speech application?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> froh: there is more to linux than ubuntu, have you tried any other distros?
[00:46] <isix> it is not an internal card is a usb card
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> taofd: look into lm-sensors
[00:46] <kellyh> isix: ah
[00:46] <taofd> ActionParsnip, ubuntu just happens to be one of the best though
[00:46] <chetnick> taofd: install lm-sensors
[00:46] <froh> yes, been using nix since 1998 :)
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> taofd: thats an opinion so is not concrete
[00:47] <taofd> ActionParsnip, chetnick thx
[00:47] <torre> ee
[00:47] <taofd> ActionParsnip, how so? I think it's pretty well established that ubuntu is one of the most popular distros currently
[00:47] <chetnick> taofd: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[00:47] <taofd> ActionParsnip, it's also considered one of the best packaged distros and easily used for newbies
[00:47] <taofd> ActionParsnip, not saying it is *the* best, but it is certainly one of the best
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> taofd: some people think its the worst. neither you nor them are right or wrong
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> taofd: there is no best
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> taofd: only best for you, millions will share your opinion and millions will not
[00:48] <taofd> ActionParsnip, i'm not going to get into an argument about perceptive "bests", i'm just stating what is the general consensus
[00:49] <isix> is their a way to view installed devices and enable and disable them like windows?
[00:49] <FlyingTortoise> Can you use phpMyAdmin on your local computer to manage a database on a remote server?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> taofd: i dont listen to general consensus
[00:49] <chetnick> Essentially they are all the same, they are what you made them.
[00:49] <taofd> for froh, who is a newbie linux user, that's probably what matters to him, his experience elsewhere is not going to be significantly different
[00:49] <dvwallin> e'lo
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> taofd: i look at whats best for me, but again, people think xpud sucks but i think its neat
[00:49] <dvwallin> Are there any pre-packed (like LAMP) lighttpd + php5 + mariadb -packages?
[00:50] <ZykoticK9> ActionParsnip, i'm very tempted to send you the !ot factoid ;)
[00:50] <froh> taofd, ?
[00:50] <taofd> froh, you are probably correct in stating that linux is not yet ready for mainstream adoption, but it's getting there :) if you feel that it isn't ready for you standards yet, please feel free to file a few bug reports or recommendations / contribute to making it better, or check back again at a later time :)
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: hehe
[00:50] <bencc> where do I put a logrotate script for nginx?
[00:51] <froh> taofd, i like ubuntu, i actually
[00:51] <froh> srry
[00:51] <froh> taofd, i like ubuntu, i actually
[00:51] <froh> taofd, i like ubuntu, i actually  use it every day
[00:51] <froh> erhh......
[00:52] <isix> where is the device manager on ubuntu 9.10 64 cant find it
[00:52] <brjann> bencc: /etc/logrotate.d/
[00:52] <taofd> froh, oh, were you not the one that Action was talking to? my bad, nvm
[00:52] <ZykoticK9> isix, there really isn't one, what are you trying to do?
[00:53] <chetnick> Majority of mainstream did not even hear of Linux. I'm sure it would be more popular/adopted if it was advertized.
[00:53] <isix> enable the wifi card because it is disabled but ifup and ifdown dont work
[00:53] <kesi> Hi!  When I use my onboard wifi nic I am (usually) unable to connect to encrypted networks.  If I use the USB nic, I don't have this problem so I'm thinking it's the drivers.  It's a Dell vostro 1400 using the Broadcom driver.   any help?
[00:53] <taofd> chetnick, sorry i didn't want to distract the main channel, we can talk about this more in offtopic if you want :)
[00:53] <chetnick> taofd: true.
[00:54] <froh> isix, please identify the nic you're using, lspci in a terminal helps
[00:54] <hipitihop> BluesKaj-Laptop,  echo "this is a test" | festival --tts
[00:55] <ZykoticK9> isix, if you want a shorter output from lspci you could use "lspci | grep Ethernet"
[00:55] <iffymcdiffy> I just installed a new hdd in my ubuntu box.  I'd like to have it automatically mount to a directory in the filesystem on bootup, is there an easy way to do that?
[00:55] <Deformative> So yeah, new kernel broke suspend.
[00:55] <researcher1> when I scanned using Klamav some .exe files saved from windows XP were reported infected by trojans.Will such files ever infect UBUNTU?  They are quarantined by Klamav.
[00:55] <hipitihop> BluesKaj-Laptop, but I just went to the machine and I also do not hear anything from that machine either, so perhaps I have a funny sound setup because I am using hdmi
[00:56] <ZykoticK9> iffymcdiffy, you need to add the drive to your fstab file - not 'really' an easy way to do that "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" will give you a GUI editor
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> researcher1: no, they are windows viri, not linux
[00:56] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: viruses
[00:56] <froh> ZykoticK9, and how would that help, (10:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless)
[00:56] <Idlehead> does anyone know the string for gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/button_layout to create a space between two entries?
[00:57] <iffymcdiffy> zykotick9: I guess I'm fine with that though it seems that ubuntu as the "easy" distribution should be able to do it through the gui
[00:57] <kellyh> isix: what model is the wifi card?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> researcher1: you can infect your wine if you execute the apps in wine but the wine config can easily be cleaned or even removed
[00:57] <iffymcdiffy> zykotick9: what kinds of flags do I need?
[00:57] <ZykoticK9> iffymcdiffy, i'm unaware of an easy method to manipulate fstab...
[00:57] <researcher1> ok ActionParsnp, then why did a linux virus scanner reported them at all?
[00:58] <kellyh> isix: also is it just a usb wifi dongle or does it also act as storage?
[00:58] <researcher1> yes I have wine installed
[00:58] <Idlehead> researcher1, because those scanners are normally used on servers or gateways
[00:58] <researcher1> ok
[00:58] <ZykoticK9> iffymcdiffy, what format did you use for the new drive?
[00:58] <isix> wifi dongle
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viri
[00:58] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plural_form_of_words_ending_in_-us
[00:59] <iffymcdiffy> zykotick9: its ntfs right now...(from an old system) I might change it later but for now I guess I'd like the read/write ntfs format
[00:59] <Idlehead> does anyone know the string for gconf-editor /apps/metacity/general/button_layout to create a space between two entries?
[00:59] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: virii is impossible as a plural, and viri is incorrect
[00:59] <memenode> How do I play input through output?
[00:59] <isix> i already installed ndiswrapper and the driver and follow all the instructions on wifi how to
[00:59] <avi93> anyone knows about the firefox and java pluding issue?
[00:59] <froh> iffymcdiffy, have you tried "disk utillity" in system/dministration?
[00:59] <memenode> audio I mean
[00:59] <FlyingTortoise> FlyingTortoise
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: touche
[00:59] <isix> RTL8192 WLAN Adapter
[00:59] <ZykoticK9> iffymcdiffy, sorry man i'm useless with NTFS - i'm sure someone else can help you though
[01:00] <kellyh> isix: is there instructions on how to 'turn it on'?
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: i like to add i to stuff to pluralise it, its fun
[01:00] <iffymcdiffy> froh: yeah I've looked in it but didn't see the option mount here
[01:00] <linxeh> ActionParsnip: heh
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> linxeh: like goldeneyei
[01:01] <blocky> what happens to an ecryptfs setup if I use root to overwrite the account password of the user
[01:01] <isix> well it says to use network-manager-gnome but on 9.10 i cant find networking on system admin
[01:01] <linxeh> hah :)
[01:01] <froh> iffymcdiffy, iv'e never tried this in a "new" distro but i can help you with the correct line in /etc/fstab
[01:01] <linxeh> I might start doing that at work to wind people up :)
[01:01] <l7> ActionParsnip: hey again. do you happen to know if it's possible to mount partimage files?
[01:01] <iffymcdiffy> froh: sure I'd appreciate that
[01:02] <l7> that was the problem i ran into last time, now that i recall
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> l7: not sure tbh, never tried. Dont see why not
[01:02] <linxeh> l7: yes, you can
[01:02] <isix> i tried to find the nm-applet but dosent run
[01:02] <linxeh> mount -o loop -t partimagefs imagefile /some/mount/point
[01:02] <iffymcdiffy> froh: what should I write, the drive is on /dev/sdb
[01:03] <linxeh> oh no thats rubbish
[01:03] <linxeh> ignore me
[01:03] <linxeh> l7: what if you do mount -o loop /the/image/file /some/mount/point
[01:03] <linxeh> l7: does that work ?
[01:04] <l7> linxeh: i get "mount: you must specify the filesystem type"
[01:04] <froh> iffymcdiffy, /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk ntfs-3g ro,uid=1000 0 0
[01:04] <l7> i also tried "sudo mount -o loop -t partimagefs fooooimg.000 /mnt/partimage/"
[01:05] <linxeh> l7: hmm, I guess not then. is it a compressed filesystem ?
[01:05] <l7> and it doesn't understand partimagefs
[01:05] <linxeh> l7: I always just use dd to create my images, then they can easily be mounted etc
[01:05] <l7> linxeh: yeah, as far as i know which is not very much
[01:05] <kellyh> isix: nm-applet should already be loaded/running, should be a icon next to the clock on the top
[01:05] <l7> google reveals a lot of hits for people asking how to do this, but no answers on how
[01:06] <l7> linxeh: yeah i wanted to use dd, but the resulting image files were a bit larger than i wanted
[01:06] <froh> iffymcdiffy, i'm just guessing here, make sure /mnt/disk exists, and grep <your username> /etc/password reveals your correct uid
[01:06] <l7> i think partimage understands how to skip over empty areas which is nice
[01:06] <l7> but unmountable images are annoying
[01:06] <froh> iffymcdiffy, /dev/sda1 is thefirst partition on your disk
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> l7: did you select max compression?
[01:06] <kellyh> isix: a quick search in google brought up a few mentions on the ubuntu forums that there should be a working native linux driver, try searching on the forums for the model of your wifi dongle there should be a few hits that might help you
[01:07] <m0ar> I've got an awful problem. Right after I log on, the next time I press enter my X-server gets restarted. Any ideas? Is this known?
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> isix: there may be source code on the realtek site for you to compile
[01:07] <linxeh> l7: looking at the partimage site it isnt currently possible - they are asking for help to write a block driver to support it
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> m0ar: when you log back in read /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:07] <olskolirc> ok how do I bring up the graphic driver menu from the prompt please?
[01:08] <m0ar> ActionParsnip: kk
[01:08] <kellyh> ActionParsnip: it seems there are a number of different versions of that particular wifi device, but recompiling kernel/driver seems to be an option
[01:08] <ubuntuNewBe> hi, need help regarding ssl certificats anybody have experience working with them?
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> olskolirc: what video card?
[01:08] <JustaNumber> so if I say apt-get update-upgrade-dist-upgrade I should be all up to date?
[01:08] <iffymcdiffy> froh: is there a way to automount the fstab without restarting to test it?
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> JustaNumber: indeed
[01:08] <isix> it is up and running what i wanna know where is the networking app and how to run it
[01:08] <kellyh> iffymcdiffy: mount -a
[01:08] <froh> iffymcdiffy, yes, "mount /mnt/disk"
[01:09] <olskolirc> NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420
[01:09] <olskolirc>  ActionParsnip
[01:09] <l7> ActionParsnip: nope didn't fiddle with the compression options
[01:09] <kellyh> isix: is there no network manager icon in the top bar?
[01:09] <l7> linxeh: oh well, thanks anyway for the help
[01:09] <ubuntuNewBe> hi, I need help regarding ssl certificats anybody have experience working with them?
[01:09] <l7> i suppose i will go back to dd for now
[01:09] <Red_HamsterX> What, specifically, do you need, ubuntuNewBe?
[01:10] <linxeh> l7: you could use dd and gzip/bzip2/7zip
[01:10] <meowbuntu> hi can someone take a look at this and reply to it if you can help me. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8927479#post8927479
[01:10] <ubuntuNewBe> Red_Hamster I am setting up a mail server on ubuntu using https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
[01:10] <l7> linxeh: does 7zip produce smaller images than bzip2?
[01:10] <meowbuntu> !ask | ubuntuNewBe
[01:10] <linxeh> l7: generally yes
[01:11] <froh> iffymcdiffy, man mount.ntfs-3g shows you what the options for mounting does
[01:11] <blakkheim> l7: if you're going to be using gzip/bzip2  for large files and have  a multicore cpu, install pigz and pbzip2 (and replace the gzip/bzip2 in /bin with them)
[01:11] <ubuntuNewBe> Red_Hamster openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650, does this creat a root cert?
[01:11] <l7> clonezilla's also uses dd i think and they provide a nicely organized backup too
[01:11] <isix> there is no source code but ndiswrapper makes the install of the xp drivers
[01:12] <l7> blakkheim: hmm, i have a very old pentium, but it has hyperthreading, does that count?
[01:12] <isix> yes there is a nerwork manager gnome icon on the top bar
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> olskolirc: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-96   i think (if you use karmic)
[01:12] <blakkheim> l7: it would offer a small speed improvement
[01:12] <olskolirc> thanks
[01:12] <froh> i understand someone had fun scripting ubottu in tcl, but it is more of an annoyance than anything else
[01:12] <Red_HamsterX> ubuntuNewBe, I think it creates both a private key, which serves as the root for self-signed authentication and a public key, which is what clients need to accept.
[01:13] <l7> blakkheim: ah, neat then. thanks for that tip
[01:13] <ubuntuNewBe> Red_Hamster, okay so I can use the cacert.pem to create new certs and sign them?
[01:14] <kellyh> isix: you should be able to see wifi networks if you click on that, if you right click on it it will tell you if wifi is enabled
[01:14] <isix> here is the site of the conf of the wifi i am on instruction 3.6 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[01:14] <froh> ubottu, yes cacert is a fake root cert
[01:14] <Red_HamsterX> ubuntuNewBe, no, cacert.pem is what you should serve to clients, if my memory of self-signing is accurate.
[01:14] <Red_HamsterX> ubuntuNewBe, cakey.pem is the private key, which only Postfix needs to see.
[01:15] <isix> it says device is not ready

[01:16] <bencc> does this logrotate script for nginx makes sense? http://dpaste.com/168856/

[01:27] <Alan502> !lucid
[01:27] <blocky> that figures
[01:27] <Alan502> i can't wait for lucid :P
[01:28] <blakkheim> Alan502: why
[01:28] <Alan502> blakkheim, 'cause upgrading ubuntu always feels good :)
[01:28] <bencc> how can I find out which user runs a pid?
[01:29] <blakkheim> Alan502: what does it offer that you currently need
[01:29] <Alan502> it's just interesting seeing the new version
[01:29] <Alan502> blakkheim, nothing at all, i think. But i just like to upgrade.
[01:30] <Alan502> i dun upgrade right now though, cause it is still buggy
[01:31] <Tartaros> lucid default search engine will be yahoo, whats up with that? :)
[01:31] <seanbrystone> $$$$
[01:31] <draygen> yeah thats a bummer :-/
[01:32] <jpds> draygen: Not really.
[01:32] <Alan502> blakkheim, what os are you currently using?
[01:32] <draygen> jpds: well , I like Yahoo and I use it .. But i tend to use Google more
[01:32] <draygen> so thats just one more step for me when loading up a fresh install of ubuntu
[01:32] <jpds> draygen: And the common user doesn't care, they just want a search box, and text.
[01:32] <blakkheim> Alan502: gentoo on desktop, arch on netbook, debian on server
[01:33] <Alan502> nice
[01:34] <seanbrystone> those 'real' distros too much pain for me, ill stick with Ubuntu :)
[01:34] <Tartaros> so does that seriously mean yahoo paid canonical to become the default?
[01:34] <draygen> does anyone have any experience with a virus/or rootkit that causes intermittent packet loss to the gateway? its driving me nuts! :-p
[01:36] <olskolirc> what is the command to bring up software sources please?

[01:37] <DasEi> draygen: I had such a issue recently, but cause of dns-flooding, does your syslog say sth. or have you got a high system load ?

[01:38] <draygen> DasEi: Actually, the issue is on my girlfriends Windows laptop.. I thought it was a wireless issue, but it doesnt happen to my machine running Ubuntu
[01:38] <olskolirc> he can't connect to X DasEi
[01:39] <draygen> Wireshark showing TLS connections to spynettest.microsoft.com , which concerns me
[01:39] <HowardtheDuck> is there a web browser for ubuntu that isn't mindnumbingly slow and annoying
[01:39] <DasEi> olskolirc: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:39] <draygen> HowardtheDuck: Chrome ;)
[01:39] <meowbuntu-away> ok i need a disk maintenance tool.
[01:39] <xangua> !browser | HowardtheDuck
[01:40] <taofd> for some reason when using sensors, it says my adaptor's critical temp is 63 degress C... this seems kind of low... are there consequences of it's "critical" temp being set this low, or does it not matter?
[01:40] <Tartaros> jpds: k, fair enough.
[01:40] <DasEi> draygen: ##windows
[01:40] <HowardtheDuck> xangua:  I'm not asking what browsers are available, i'm asking which of those available browsers are good
[01:40] <HowardtheDuck> FF is awful, Opera is okay, but I'd like faster if it's out there
[01:40] <Tartaros> HowardtheDuck: firefox, opera, chromium
[01:40] <draygen> DasEi: understood, wasnt asking for "windows" support, just asking if anyone experienced a virus that can cause packet loss to the gateway ..thats all
[01:40] <meowbuntu-away> HowardtheDuck, i would look at opera or chrome or firefox minimal
[01:40] <Tartaros> HowardtheDuck: also, why is FF "awful"?
[01:40] <DasEi> meowbuntu-away: fsck for fs, testdisk for more forensic issues, and ...
[01:41] <HowardtheDuck> Tartaros: incredibly slow
[01:41] <xangua> HowardtheDuck: for gnome¿ chromium and midori, both use  webkit :)
[01:41] <HowardtheDuck> xangua:  thanks.
[01:41] <DasEi> draygen: right then, no , not in ubuntu
[01:41] <Tartaros> HowardtheDuck: huh, is it now... isn't it just your computer being slow? ;P
[01:41] <dj_segfault> Because after all these years, Firefox still leaks memory like an 80 year old man'
[01:42] <HowardtheDuck> Tartaros:  Since FF is blazing fast on my XP partition, no, I don't think so.
[01:42] <damian> The only time I've seen Firefox slow down is after installing addons and such for it. Fast as can be for me.
[01:42] <m3F> hey! How could i change the resolution of my grub?
[01:42] <Tartaros> dj_segfault: it doesn't leak memory, it just fragments. Like any program will, unless it can move the memory around like mono or java virtual machines
[01:43] <xangua> HowardtheDuck: opera is also very good but is propietary
[01:43] <bencc> how do I manually force logrotate for testing?
[01:43] <DasEi> meowbuntu-away: what's the behaviour of the disk ?
[01:43] <HowardtheDuck> damian:  removing the addons definitely helps, as well as the usual recommended tweaks, but still is nowhere near the speed it should be
[01:43] <Tartaros> HowardtheDuck: in that case it's still not firefox obviuosly. It should be as fast in linux as its in XP, or faster.
[01:43] <AlienDK> I like Opera
[01:43] <AlienDK> 10.50 is awesome
[01:43] <HowardtheDuck> xangua:  yeah, i really like opera.  installed 10.5 yeterday on my XP box at work
[01:43] <AlienDK> :P
[01:43] <AlienDK> Sadly its not open source
[01:43] <AlienDK> oops
[01:43] <AlienDK> shit.. this is kinda offtopic
[01:43] <meowbuntu-away> DasEi, yes it was working find now though
[01:44] <Tartaros> well yeah opera seems faster but it's controls are nowhere near as natural as FF's are
[01:44] <AlienDK> Gotta be carefull. Else they'll ban me from life, the universe and everything
[01:44] <HowardtheDuck> Tartaros:  well it's not, and I'm by far not the only person having this problem.   Windows FF is great, Ubuntu FF is not
[01:44] <AlienDK> yeah
[01:44] <lateralus01> is it alright if I post a link to my filesystem question on the ubuntu forums?
[01:44] <AlienDK> Opera feels weird in Ubuntu
[01:44] <AlienDK> Much better on windows
[01:44] <HowardtheDuck> yeah I really would prefer FF, I like it much better as a browser, but use Opera now just because I kinda have to
[01:44] <tenshinoneko> hello ^^
[01:44] <AlienDK> hello
[01:44] <dj_segfault> Tartaros: On every Linux system I've used, Firefox running for a while eventually takes up more and more memory and CPU cycles (sometimes up to 70%), especially with Flash
[01:44] <brjann> bencc: sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf
[01:44] <AlienDK> Flash sucks
[01:44] <damian> You could always switch to a terminal browser ;)
[01:45] <AlienDK> :P
[01:45] <ddrj> dj_segfault: same here
[01:45] <lateralus01> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423517
[01:45] <HowardtheDuck> even though FF sux in Ubuntu, I still use it for flash...because flash in Opera is even worse heh
[01:45] <Tartaros> dj_segfault: yes. Fragmenting. Also flash plugin is not really FF's fault is it
[01:45] <AlienDK> GNOME sucks
[01:45] <ddrj> don't say that!
[01:45] <ddrj> it rules
[01:45] <AlienDK> It looks like something for handicapped persons
[01:45] <DasEi> meowbuntu-away: didn't understand your last answer
[01:45] <tenshinoneko> i'm trying to make changes on /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts but i'm scared i'll mess something up T_T
[01:45] <xangua> now we really are offtopic
[01:45] <xangua> !ot
[01:45] <HowardtheDuck> AlienDK:  probably but I like it better than KDE still
[01:45] <olskolirc> ok DasEi hes in nano
[01:45] <AlienDK> Its better than the other desktops
[01:46] <Tartaros> I don't think being offtopic is such a crime at this hour
[01:46] <AlienDK> Sorry xangua. But I'm banned in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:46] <AlienDK> Itis
[01:46] <tenshinoneko> is there any GUI to change the name of the host in 9.10?
[01:46] <DasEi> olskolirc: what was the basic issue ?
[01:46] <tenshinoneko> + the domain
[01:46] <xangua> AlienDK: that's not excuse to make offtopic here
[01:46] <AlienDK> :(
[01:46] <AlienDK> How about this
[01:46] <AlienDK> God is dead
[01:46] <Tartaros> tenshinoneko: dunno about a gui but it should be really easy to change it manually
[01:46] <AlienDK> I'm the new god
[01:46] <AlienDK> :D
[01:46] <FloodBot3> AlienDK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:46] <olskolirc> my friend is stuck on his login screen b/c he picked the wrong video driver using ubuntu Lucid and a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420 DasEi and now stuck on a black screen no X loging shell
[01:46] <AlienDK> Sure
[01:47] <AlienDK> your "friend"
[01:47] <AlienDK> mwuhahahahahahaha
[01:47] <sebsebseb> !lucid |  olskolirc
[01:47] <DasEi> olskolirc: aaaah, so you're on the wrong path then
[01:47] <olskolirc> I got that sebsebseb
[01:47] <taofd> will Lucid's UNR hit day 1? or does it usually trail the official release?
[01:47] <olskolirc> what DasEi
[01:47] <DasEi> olskolirc: run following commands from safe mode or trml-line
[01:48] <Tartaros> olskolirc: heh. you didnt include the description of real problem (other than "stuck") and since this channel is about karmic- then we will probably recommend to install karmic :P
[01:48] <bencc> brjann: thanks
[01:48] <olskolirc> ok wait let me have him get out of nano DasEi
[01:48] <tenshinoneko> tartaros: well the problem i have is in hosts. right now the host name is "ubuntu" should i just change every ubuntu for "newname"
[01:48] <taofd> for some reason when using sensors, it says my adaptor's critical temp is 63 degress C... this seems kind of low... are there consequences of it's "critical" temp being set this low, or does it not matter?
[01:48] <Tartaros> tenshinoneko: how is that a problem?
[01:48] <DasEi> olskolirc: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_stuck
[01:48] <olskolirc> Tartaros, I did I said "froze" as if he was on M$
[01:48] <[_miT_]> unitedpotsmokers: dood... dood.
[01:48] <DasEi> olskolirc: ctrl-x to quit nano
[01:48] <dj_segfault> taofd: That means it's not reading the sensors.  Mine does the same thing
[01:49] <unitedpotsmokers> hi there.. good morning
[01:49] <tenshinoneko> tartaros: well cuz there's one place in hosts that says "ubuntu-domain" so i'm not sure if i need to change thatone to "newname-domain" sorry im a n00b xD
[01:49] <Tartaros> olskolirc: what part of "this channel is not about lucid" dont you understand :)
[01:49] <taofd> dj_segfault, what do you mean? :D
[01:49] <dj_segfault> taofd: Could be an unsupported sensor chip
[01:49] <Tartaros> tenshinoneko: I'd suggest not touching it when it works
[01:49] <olskolirc> this was the same issue with karamic too Tartaros thats why we upgraded hoping it would be better
[01:49] <olskolirc> its the same
[01:49] <DasEi> olskolirc: also, is that lucid ? well, meet me over there, then
[01:50] <tenshinoneko> tartaros: so i should leave the .ubuntu-domain the same then? ^^
[01:50] <DasEi> !lucid
[01:50] <Tartaros> olskolirc: well can you not use the driver?
[01:50] <olskolirc> we uninstalled it Tartaros but we can't bring up the driver config to pick another driver from the command line, any suggestings?
[01:51] <olskolirc> whats the lucid channel DasEi ?
[01:51] <olskolirc> I don't have any problems with my lucid so far
[01:51] <DasEi> olskolirc: see above, #ubuntu+1
[01:51] <[_miT_]> olskolirc: keyword: so far
[01:51] <olskolirc> oh yes im there DasEi
[01:51] <Tartaros> reconfigure X or some such
[01:52] <shazbotmcnasty> how to give .ttf the correct rights?
[01:52] <[_miT_]> shazbotmcnasty: chmod?
[01:52] <shazbotmcnasty> chmod <what>
[01:53] <tenshinoneko> anyone knows how to lock an account after auto-log in?
[01:53] <meowbuntu-away> DasEi, yes it was working find now though
[01:53] <[_miT_]> shazbotmcnasty: could chmod 777, but that would be totally unsecure (very un-linux of me)
[01:53] <PeterT> Yeah, true
[01:54] <DasEi> meowbuntu-away: it works now , and you want to re-check the fs ? or view the syslog ?
[01:54] <PeterT> Note to self: Don't ever type /who #ubuntu
[01:54]  * [_miT_] takes note
[01:55] <taofd> dj_segfault, i'm on an acer aspire, it's an atom proc ... it seems like whenever i go above 63C my computer shuts down / crashes... i was wondering if the two were related
[01:55] <[_miT_]> Is there a way to load balance connections? (Say WLAN and LAN)
[01:55] <MgMt> i cant get the software center to work, i already used 'sudo apt-get update' with no success
[01:56] <[_miT_]> MgMt: Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center?
[01:56] <MgMt> yeah
[01:56] <[_miT_]> MgMt: version? 9.10?
[01:56] <MgMt> yep
[01:56] <MgMt> fresh install and updated
[01:56] <dj_segfault> taofd: Hmm.  From what I've seen when it says 63C that means it's not reading the sensor, but maybe your case is different.  What program are you reading the temp with?
[01:56] <tony_> Some one can help me, because when to start my pc all my personal file are copied to my desktop
[01:56] <[_miT_]> MgMt: what happens when you attempt to launch it?
[01:56] <MgMt> it opens but it says 0 items at the bottom
[01:57] <amdpox> Anyone know how I can stop the radeon driver from being loaded with a kernel parameter? I tried radeon.blacklist=yes, but briefly saw a message about an unknown option or something
[01:57] <tony_> how can to lock the file not copy when a reboot the pc
[01:57] <[_miT_]> MgMt: from within Software Center -> Edit -> Software Sources
[01:57] <bencc> when I'm forcing logrotate the server starts using access.log.1 file instead of access.log http://dpaste.com/168870/
[01:58] <bencc> any idea what I'm doing wrong?
[01:58] <candy> hello
[01:58] <taofd> dj_segfault, i'm using lm-sensors
[01:58] <MgMt> [_miT_] what do i do in there?
[01:58] <brandonedens> hi all... I just installed w3m under Karmic and am finding that it is not able to open URLs. Are other people experiencing this problem?
[01:58] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ensure Main, Universe, Restricted and Multiverse is checked
[01:58] <candy> i donno im new to this whole thing
[01:58] <dj_segfault> bencc: Use a wildcard of *.log, not *  That happened to me too
[01:59] <MgMt> [_miT_] what are those?
[01:59] <[_miT_]> dj_segfault: best dj name, EVAR
[01:59] <dj_segfault> [_miT_]: Thanks.  I used to DJ, so it was a natural
[01:59] <[_miT_]> MgMt: those are the servers your PC contacts for software packages and updates
[01:59] <MgMt> [_miT_] i dont see those options
[02:00] <bencc> dj_segfault:  that's what I'm using: http://dpaste.com/168870/ isn't it?
[02:00] <[_miT_]> dj_segfault: i just go by Dj Tim, or just Tim. lol
[02:00] <brjann> bencc: it's probably that the server isn't being properly notified that it needs to close its existing file handles and reopen the file. i'd double-check your post-rotate command
[02:00] <[_miT_]> dj_segfault: minimal-techno, downtempo, electro, ect
[02:00] <[_miT_]> MgMt: which options?
[02:00] <dj_segfault> bencc: Looks right for me.
[02:01] <bencc> brjann: is it possible that I need to put sudo in the postrotate command?
[02:01] <[_miT_]> MgMt: did you get to the software sources window?
[02:01] <MgMt> [_miT_] the main universe restricted and multiverse
[02:01] <MgMt> yes
[02:01] <Tartaros> what script/program is used by ubuntu installer to generate fstab?
[02:01] <MgMt> [_miT_] now i see it, those were all checked
[02:01] <brjann> bencc: no, logrotate runs as root i think, so you should be okay
[02:01] <[_miT_]> MgMt: on that first tab 'Ubuntu Software', there are check boxes for them
[02:01] <mohadib_> when i try to view a png in firefox, view it directly, it tries to open in another app, can i have FF just display the png itself?
[02:01] <bencc> dj_segfault:  should it work when forcing rotate with: 'sudo logrotate -f /etc/logrotate.conf' ?
[02:02] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ok then close both software sources and software center
[02:02] <[_miT_]> MgMt: System -> Administration -> Update manager
[02:02] <MgMt> [_miT_] ok
[02:02] <skrite> i need a reccomendation for a great file sync app. I don't need it as a backup program, but rather will compare two folders and their contents and show me the differences so i can reconsile them as i like
[02:02] <[_miT_]> MgMt: hit check, make sure you're hitting the sources we have checked
[02:02] <bencc> brjann: when running manually kill -USR1 `cat /usr/local/nginx/logs/nginx.pid` it works fine
[02:03] <[_miT_]> MgMt: i.e. Main, Universe, ect
[02:03] <tony_> what's option a should to desacctivate because all my personal file when a reboot the pc show me on the desktop
[02:03] <mohadib_> anyone? when i try to view a png in firefox, view it directly, it tries to open in another app, can i have FF just display the png itself?
[02:03] <brjann> bencc: meaning that it switches back to the real log file when you SIGUSR1 it manually?
[02:03] <MgMt> [_miT_] it says i updated less than an hour ago
[02:03] <DasEi> skrite: man diff
[02:03] <bencc> brjann: yes
[02:03] <[_miT_]> MgMt: thats fine, check it again
[02:03] <MgMt> i did, it didnt do anything
[02:04] <skrite> DasEi, thanks
[02:04] <Tartaros> mohadib_: this depends on what mime type is the http server telling your browser the png file is
[02:04] <dj_segfault> bencc: That looks right but I'm not a logrotate expert.  I just know when I did * instead of *.log I ended up with tens of thousands of files in the log directory after a few months
[02:04] <[_miT_]> MgMt: :/ you didnt see the update window hit the servers?
[02:04] <MgMt> what do you mean hit the servers?
[02:04] <dj_segfault> bencc: It took over half an hour to delete them all
[02:04] <[_miT_]> MgMt: "Download package information"
[02:04] <bencc> dj_segfault: sound like fun
[02:05] <[_miT_]> MgMt: you'll see it checking the server sources we have checked (Main, Restricted, ect)
[02:05] <mohadib_> Tartaros: hmm, cant you tell? http://grab.by/grabs/b3b1211cabb2d1df709ce8be94c8ba71.png
[02:05] <mohadib_> can*
[02:05] <MgMt> yeah
[02:05] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ok close the update manager
[02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: lauch terminal (yay)
[02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: type: sudo apt-get purge software-center
[02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: then: sudo apt-get install software-center
[02:06] <frenciusleonardu> hallo
[02:06] <usrponcho> register
[02:06] <[_miT_]> MgMt: btw, Softare center is kinda for the newbs, you should really use the Synaptic package manager ;)
[02:06] <HowardtheDuck> is chrome or opera faster in ubuntu
[02:06] <usrponcho> sorry
[02:07] <isix> ANYONE HAS System-> Administration -> Networking so they can tell me the command under properties?
[02:07] <[_miT_]> HowardtheDuck: Chrome is called Chormium on linux
[02:07] <mohadib_> HowardtheDuck: tias?
[02:07] <[_miT_]> HowardtheDuck: and its faster than anything ive ever seen ;)
[02:07] <brjann> bencc: hm, I'm stumped. I don't see anything wrong
[02:07] <MgMt> i am a bit of a newb lol
[02:07] <[_miT_]> MgMt: ahh ok then :)
[02:07] <MgMt> plus i cant remember half the names of what im looking for
[02:07] <isix> ANYONE HAS System-> Administration -> Networking so they can tell me the command under properties?
[02:07] <[_miT_]> MgMt: you can search the packages within Synaptic Pacakge Manager
[02:08] <MgMt> that did it, thanks!
[02:08] <[_miT_]> MgMt: if we could search them it would be a big headache, lol
[02:08] <DasEi> isix : would be under preferences, command is nm-connection-editor
[02:08] <DasEi> (Network Connections), isix
[02:08] <bencc> brjann: thanks. I'll ask on the nginx mailing list
[02:08] <maxjezy> [_miT_], chrome is chrome in linux to?
[02:09] <maxjezy> get it from google and it's chrome?
[02:09] <lamalex> Does anyone know anything about dev-mapper?  I have a machine that /used/ to have lvm on it, which I did a reinstall without lvm, but my drives are still listed under /dev/mapper, and now it won't let me format the unused drive because "One or more block devices are holding /dev/mapper/nvidia_efffjahb"
[02:09] <DasEi> maxjezy: chromium-browser
[02:09] <[_miT_]> maxjezy: no, chrome (the web browser) is called chromium on linux
[02:09] <brjann> bencc: they have a channel here on freenode, #nginx
[02:09] <bencc> brjann: ok
[02:09] <xangua> chrome is freeware and chromium is open source
[02:09] <ZykoticK9> [_miT_], actually there is both Chromium and Google Chrome for linux
[02:10] <[_miT_]> ZykoticK9: im refering to the browser
[02:10] <maxjezy> http://www.google.com/chrome/
[02:10] <DasEi> maxjezy: ubottu: You can get testing builds for Chromium at https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa
[02:10] <HowardtheDuck> mit thanks :)
[02:10] <[_miT_]> np
[02:10] <HowardtheDuck> i just installed it
[02:10] <ZykoticK9> [_miT_], me too!  there are 2 of them: 1) Chromium and 2) Google Chrome they are different packages
[02:10] <[_miT_]> w00t!
[02:10] <[_miT_]> enjoy :D
[02:10] <[_miT_]> ZykoticK9: lies! <checks>
[02:10] <isix> thanks dasEi
[02:11] <maxjezy> i use the chrome package
[02:11] <maxjezy> but it's built on chromium i guess
[02:11] <isix> i dont want network connections i want networking
[02:12] <switch10_> I am having some problems adding myself to groups in Ubuntu.  I posted in the Ubuntu forums here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1423543
[02:14] <m0ar> I want to start a new x-session on another tty, and use awesome instead of gnome. How to achieve this?
[02:14] <darkex> would there be any way to test your external line speed from the commandline?
[02:14] <[_miT_]> m0ar: thats crazy talk
[02:15] <[_miT_]> m0ar: but i like it :) never actually ran two desktop managers at once
[02:16] <m0ar> [_miT_]: Not crazy at all, but I want it :D
[02:16] <m0ar> Do i seriously have to run it in virtualbox? x(
[02:16] <schnitzel> can anyone help me getting livecd-tools installed ?
[02:16] <schnitzel> i need to make a fedora usb disk that i can install from instead of the DVD
[02:17] <[_miT_]> m0ar: you can install it and pick the desktop manager you want to login with @ the login screen
[02:17] <[_miT_]> darkex: sudo apt-get install iftop
[02:17] <DasEi> schnitzel: use unetbootin for that
[02:17] <[_miT_]> DasEi: schnitzel: i second that :) unetbootin is awesome
[02:18] <[_miT_]> its the only way i can get anything installed on my netbook :/
[02:18] <DasEi> darkex: you talk about the d/l speed ?
[02:19] <ZykoticK9> m0ar, you can use the command gdmflexiserver to start another xorg session, BUT you need 2 user names (it won't let you log in as same user twice)
[02:19] <darkex> DasEi: just the link/burst speed externally, yeah
[02:19] <schnitzel> i cant use unetbootin to create a fedora usb
[02:19] <schnitzel> it dosent work for the DVD
[02:19] <[_miT_]> DasEi: darkex: iftop is nice for a terminal/graphical display of your network interfaces
[02:19] <craig> hi... linux noob here... just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a new computer and I have no sound.... I know the onboard sound chip is working (I dual-boot with Windows 7 and sound works). Can anyone help? I can't really offer too much in exchange since I'm very new to Linux
[02:19] <[_miT_]> DasEi: darkex: i guess you could run lynx or wget a large file and check the DL speed
[02:19] <m0ar> [_miT_]: Not good enough
[02:19] <m0ar> ZykoticK9: D'aww :c
[02:19] <isix> anyone has network-manager .7 or .6 ?
[02:20] <al__> wow craig

[02:20] <DasEi> darkex: there testfiles easily to be found on the net, being well served, can use scp or rsync with -P (progress) option, will show you file, and if I remember right, ethtoll.. well not sure for the moment
[02:20] <craig> ok
[02:20] <[_miT_]> hows craigslist going craig? (lol)
[02:20] <m0ar> craig: Max all channels
[02:20] <m0ar> craig: use "tab" to find more of them
[02:21] <darkex> k thanks
[02:21] <m0ar> craig: It's probably just a output that's muted or something. So go put on sound from a mediaplayer or w/e and play around in alsamixer
[02:21] <craig> in alsamixer now... looking around, thanks... I'll let you know what I find
[02:21] <[_miT_]> m0ar: should be pulseaudio (shudder), not alsa
[02:21] <schnitzel> i need help with installing livecd-tools
[02:21] <m0ar> [_miT_]: Well, yeah
[02:22] <nmcintyre> anyone know if there are plans to fix the issue with menus not being resizable to fit a netbook monitor?
[02:22] <DasEi> Darkex: no sorry, ethtool doesn't provide that
[02:22] <nmcintyre> in 10.04
[02:22] <taofd> ugh, my system just crashed, where would I go to see a log of what caused my system to crash?
[02:22] <m0ar> [_miT_]: We people with a sense of logic have purged pulse a long time ago
[02:22] <[_miT_]> nmcintyre: have you tried the Netbook remix release? its designed for that
[02:22] <nmcintyre> yah, i have
[02:22] <nmcintyre> but therea re still menus
[02:22] <[_miT_]> nmcintyre: but i recommend crunchbang linux on netbooks, I LOVE IT.
[02:22] <nmcintyre> that are not resizable
[02:22] <m0ar> nmcintyre: Remove some entries
[02:22] <nmcintyre> or scrollable
[02:22] <m0ar> nmcintyre:  :D
[02:23] <taofd> nmcintyre, ubuntu UNR is nice, but some dialogs still wont display correctly (thunderbird)
[02:24] <[_miT_]> m0ar: true :0
[02:24] <craig> ok no sound is muted and everything in alsamixer that makes sense, like master, is up to the top of the slider
[02:24] <m0ar> [_miT_]: Only causes eternal suffering and immense pain. Alsa all the way!
[02:24] <m0ar> craig: Checked everything?
[02:25] <[_miT_]> m0ar: ripping out pulseaudio was step 1 for my fresh install :)
[02:25] <taofd> anyone know?
[02:25] <m0ar> Some doesn't make sense, but still have a card in the deck
[02:25] <Tartaros> whats wrong with pulse?
[02:25] <m0ar> Tartaros: Can't put my finger on it, but hell
[02:25] <m0ar> Tartaros: It doesn't work nearly as well as alsa
[02:25] <[_miT_]> Tartaros: nothing, usually. but i, along with many others, have a lot of problems with it
[02:25] <Tartaros> In my movie players, if I select alsa for audio, it keeps getting stuck, whereas with pulse it's ok...
[02:26] <m0ar> Tartaros: Small bugs, doesn't work as it should
[02:26] <craig> yup checked everything, no sound still
[02:26] <[_miT_]> Tartaros: when it works, it works wonderfully. but when it doesnt, its the worst thing in the world.
[02:26] <maxjezy> craig, turn up volume to 150 % and i think it will work
[02:26] <Alan502> will empathy still be included in lucid
[02:26] <m0ar> Tartaros: Since you HAVE pulse. Remove it, and alsa works well
[02:26] <m0ar> Alan502: Yes
[02:26] <m0ar> maxjezy: Wtf?
[02:26] <Tartaros> m0ar: interesting theory. how does one remove pulse anyway?
[02:26] <m0ar> Tartaros: purge pulseaudio
[02:26] <maxjezy> m0ar, it's a bug, many people have it that i heard of
[02:26] <DasEi> m0ar: pulse is not be compared to alsa, as it acts as a sound-proxy, not s-system ( like oss or alsa)
[02:27] <Tartaros> and where lies the future, alsa or pulse? or something else?
[02:27] <craig> yeah its at 150% .... interesting, maybe unrelated... I dont have a mic but in sound preferences the input level is flashing
[02:27] <m0ar> DasEi: Still causes trouble, irrelevant what it really is. What is a baldrog? Not really sure, but it hell screwws things up
[02:28] <tony_>  what's option I should to desactivate in the desktop, because all my personal file when a reboot the pc show me on the desktop
[02:28] <tony_> somebody knows?
[02:28] <maxjezy> craig, did it do the trick?
[02:28] <[_miT_]> tony_: that doesnt make sense :( wish i could help
[02:28] <craig> no it didnt
[02:28] <DasEi> m0ar: different experiences on my side, but I had to get the idea of pulse first, too, was also confused as it appears in one line with alsa, oss
[02:28] <maxjezy> okey
[02:28] <tony_> mit ok
[02:28] <knottydreads87> i imagine this is very unlikely but is there anyway to send a wake up ping to a ubuntu computer that is shutdown?
[02:28] <maxjezy> then i have no idea
[02:28] <tony_> mit when I restar my pc
[02:29] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: thats called "wake on lan". your mobo has to support it
[02:29] <craig> "eah its at 150% .... interesting, maybe unrelated... I dont have a mic but in sound preferences the input level is flashing" just in case it flashed by too quick
[02:29] <tony_> all the file in my user it is in my desktop
[02:29] <m0ar> tony_: Explain.
[02:29] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], oh, thats right. i'll see if my mobo does
[02:29] <mawst> What do I need to do to add ident2 to init.d?
[02:29] <tony_> ok
[02:30] <tony_> I have my desktop clear
[02:30] <tony_> and when I restar my pc my desktop in full of file
[02:30] <[_miT_]> tony_: what files?
[02:30] <tony_> the file of my home
[02:31] <tony_> user
[02:31] <craig> ok well, thanks very much for trying ... I appreciate it... I think I may have to learn a bit more about ubuntu if I hope to have sound
[02:31] <tony_> you undestand what I mean?
[02:31] <[_miT_]> tony_: sounds like something you installed is dumping those files there. very strange. i would create a second "test user" account and see if they get the files dumped onto the desktop as well
[02:32] <tony_> ok
[02:32] <a359> is there a way to get watch (/usr/bin/watch) output in color? e.g. $watch -n5 ls --color  <--doesnt work for me.
[02:32] <[_miT_]> a359: thats a great idea :)
[02:33] <a359> rephrase my question: Does /usr/bin/watch have color support?
[02:34] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], lets assume by mobo has wake up on lan enabled. how do you initiate the the wake up?
[02:34] <[_miT_]> a359: i recall playing with a terminal that had color support for logs and such, but i dont remember the name of it :(
[02:34] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: thats something you have to research for your mobo, i honestly have never set that up before.
[02:34] <a359> [_miT_]: yeah I was wondering if this is a terminal issue or what. I tried a few differnt ones, no luck.
[02:35] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], thanks! it does seem like something kinda complicated
[02:35] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: the concept is pretty simple, you send a "knocking" packet to the mobo and it turns itself on
[02:36] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: when your box is powered off, you'll notice that the LAN link light is still active. its basically listening for that "knocking" packet
[02:36] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], yes i have seen that
[02:36] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: my DD-WRT router has an option for Wake on lan (WOL)
[02:36] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: i might have to experiment with that :)
[02:36] <knottydreads87> [_miT_], looks like you do it on the IP and MAC address
[02:37] <look> does anyone know where the Xchat logs are kept?
[02:37] <[_miT_]> knottydreads87: indeed
[02:37] <ircuser> How can I convert many text files to PDF at once ( into a single PDF document or one PDF file for one text file) ? I've got some 200 separate text files I need to print to PDF.
[02:37] <[_miT_]> look: check in ~/.xchat
[02:38] <look> [_miT_], thanks
[02:39] <[_miT_]> look: np
[02:40] <Souperf> hi
[02:41] <Colonel_Panik> a359, you talking console terminal or xterminal in a windowmanager?
[02:42] <Souperf> I interrupted the Ubuntu install process by shutting down the computer during its file copy stage. Since then, the HDD I tried to install it on reports as full, even thuogh it was empty. I can't make partitions on it in Gparted (liveCD), the only option is "unmount" (even though it's not mounted) which gives me an error. How can I completely format/restore that drive?
[02:42] <[_miT_]> Souperf: whoa, you cant delete and recreate the partitions?
[02:43] <Souperf> mit: nope, the only option is Unmount, but as I said, it's not even mounted. I've tried booting the LivdCD several times.
[02:43] <[_miT_]> Souperf: you can try to unmount from terminal, maybe gparted is being lazy ;)
[02:43] <a359> Colonel_Panik: i'm not sure what you mean. I use uxterms mostly. But I tried also in xterm and gnome-terminal with the same result.
[02:43] <Souperf> I tried that. As I said it's not mounting. It doesn't show up in "mount"
[02:44] <Souperf> *mounting = mounted
[02:44] <schnitzel> where can i get liveusb-creator for ubuntu?
[02:44] <Souperf> schnitzel: if you have Ubuntu already installed, you can create a USB LiveCD from System > Adminitration > USB Startup Disk
[02:45] <schnitzel> thanks, does that work with other distros too?
[02:45] <[_miT_]> schnitzel: or you can use unetbootin + iso
[02:45] <Souperf> sorry, I don't know
[02:45] <Colonel_Panik> a359, a console terminal to me means what you get when you hit control-alt-F2 for example.
[02:45] <KeithChester> Random question - is there a way to determine the total average color that is on my screen? For instance, if a movie is playing and theres a mostly blue screen, i can call this program/function/system call and get what color blue?
[02:45] <[_miT_]> schnitzel: unetbootin will handle any distro, since you're pointing to an iso
[02:46] <schnitzel> it dosent work, ive tried and ive been told on #fedora that using unetbootin to make a live usb from the fedora DVD does not work
[02:46] <a359> Colonel_Panik: ah. ok, no I am talking about inside X.
[02:47] <[_miT_]> schnitzel: i've never had unetbootin not work for me :(
[02:47] <DasEi> schnitzel: news to me. tried myself witht the cd, works
[02:47] <JATCommand> .
[02:47] <schnitzel> i wanna try it with the DVD
[02:48] <a359> schnitzel: if you need a DVD to install a linux distro something is terribly wrong
[02:48] <a359> (imho)
[02:48] <schnitzel> really?
[02:48] <DasEi> schnitzel: one "secret is to have the usb formatted properly before, and then give it few minutes, though app says finished, then cleanly unmount usb
[02:49] <schnitzel> the fedora dvd, is that terribly wrong ? :(
[02:49] <DasEi> schnitzel: if dvd borks, why not use the cd then ?
[02:49] <ddrj> i'm installing via usb
[02:49] <ddrj> is that wrong
[02:49] <ddrj> yes / no
[02:49] <DasEi> ddrj: no
[02:49] <mcurran> Anyone ever save pictures from a digi camera to a usb directly (no computer).
[02:50] <schnitzel> because im stubborn
[02:50] <a359> schnitzel: i guess so : )
[02:50] <ziroday> Hi I keep getting "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name" when trying to do iptables -I INPUT 6 -m limit --limit 5/min -j LOG --log-prefix "iptables denied: " --log-level 7
[02:50] <ddrj> ok good
[02:50] <[_miT_]> mcurran: yeah they have "wifi" sd cards for that
[02:50] <bazhang> mcurran, does that relate to Ubuntu?
[02:50] <Colonel_Panik> a359,  couldn't you set up a color profile in gnome-terminal and call up gnome-terminal--window-with-profile=mycrazycolors
[02:50] <ziroday> the INPUT chain exists
[02:50] <Souperf> mit: I did as you suggested. Manually deleting the partition using fdisk made Gparted work with it.
[02:50] <[_miT_]> Souperf: nice!!
[02:50] <ddrj> it's cus i'd rather not install a cd drive to install via cd
[02:51] <bazhang> ddrj, unetbootin works fine for that
[02:51] <[_miT_]> ddrj: any reason for that? ive never had a problem. only have had to use USB installations on netbooks (no cd-rom)
[02:51] <DasEi> ddrj: if box supports usb-boot, prefered method (saves a cd, lessnoise, less mechanical loss)
[02:51] <bjb1959> I have a tough one for you. I have a shiney new nvidia geforce gt 240 that works fine with the nv driver but as soon as I try to install the latest nvidia driver x won't start. how do I fix it?
[02:51] <david_> hola
[02:52] <[_miT_]> bjb1959: ive had to reconfigure xorg after upgrading my nvidia drivers before
[02:52] <david_> ubuntu#spanish
[02:52] <bazhang> david english here, spanish in #ubuntu-es
[02:52] <a359> Colonel_Panik: well i don't usually use gnome terminal. My terminals display color fine, the issue is that when I run watch, somehow the colors don't work.
[02:52] <david_> alguien que hable espanol
[02:53] <bazhang> david_, /join #ubuntu-es
[02:53] <bjb1959> _miT: any suggestions? I have used sudo nvidia-xconfig and then reboot but just get the tty line and no x
[02:53] <RSLRDX> Hi everyone, i'm looking for an app that can check the charset of a mysql backup file. just a mysql dump file. i'm having trouble importing it into a new server and want to make sure the charset is correct
[02:54] <RSLRDX> been looking at synaptic but didnt find anything
[02:54] <[_miT_]> bjb1959: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:55] <bjb1959> _mlT: and I should do this after I upgrade, drop to tty then reboot and wait for x to not start??
[02:55] <Colonel_Panik> a359, oh I don't have that problem in gnome-terminal,  thats weird
[02:56] <RSLRDX> any suggestions?
[02:56] <fwaokda> anyone can help me on how to convert .flac to .mp3 in ubuntu 9.10 ?
[02:56] <[_miT_]> bjb1959: thats what i did
[02:57] <a359> Colonel_Panik: hmm. so your "watch" _does_ support color? Could you try in an xterm also?
[02:57] <man8> who has problems with tty? xorg ?
[02:57] <mediaprodigy> HOw do i watch dvd's in ubuntu
[02:57] <mediaprodigy> i put the dvd in the dvd player but nothing happends
[02:57] <joshnetbook> Hello. I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu on my desktop.
[02:57] <[_miT_]> mediaprodigy: pop it in and double click the DVD from your desktop
[02:57] <BHoward> joshnetbook: whats going on?
[02:57] <[_miT_]> mediaprodigy: also, VLC is a beautiful media player, i like it better than the built in one on ubuntu
[02:57] <bjb1959> _mlT: ok, I'll give it a try but it seems like a ton to go through just to get 3d going. last time I had this kind of trouble was maybe 2005 or 2006. seem's we are going backwards
[02:57] <Colonel_Panik> a359, I was reading about early personal computers today and some had only 3 colors, we have progressed some I guess.
[02:58] <[_miT_]> mediaprodigy: sudo apt-get install vlc
[02:58] <backtrack0001> anybody here have experience setting up a persistent USB using unetbootin?
[02:58] <xangua> do you have libdvdcss2 installed¿ if not use medibuntu
[02:58] <mediaprodigy> i have VLC
[02:58] <xangua> !medibuntu | mediaprodigy
[02:58] <mediaprodigy> aand it will not play it
[02:58] <mediaprodigy> ok
[02:59] <joshnetbook> I've setup a thumb drive to be bootable and mounted the ubuntu iso to it. I can reboot and get to the Ubuntu installation menu but after choosing to install(or just run) it drops me to busybox.
[02:59] <mediaprodigy> i have to installl one by one
[02:59] <DasEi> fwaokda: http://tinyurl.com/ydc3u9v
[02:59] <fwaokda> DasEi, thanks
[03:00] <bjb1959> _mlT: one last thing, did you mean sudo dpkg --configure xserver-xorg?
[03:00] <_GRUB_> joshnetbook: could just be a corrupted copy on the USB drive
[03:00] <man8> bjb1959>  i have a nvidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430
[03:00] <DasEi> backtrack0001: yes
[03:01] <[_miT_]> bjb1959: sorry yes, i dont remember the command off the top of my head
[03:01] <man8> bjb1959>  http://www.pobladores.com/channels/tecnologia/EL_Nuevo_Mundo/area/12  xorg.conf in nvidia
[03:01] <joshnetbook> Should I try downloading again? Could it be the thumb drive? It's new and I used it to install Ubuntu NBR recently so I don't know if that would be the problem.
[03:01] <mediaprodigy> is there a sudo i can run to get mediabuntu installed
[03:01] <bjb1959> man8: is it in spanish?
[03:02] <man8> yes
[03:02] <backtrack0001> dasEi: I cannot understand why when i boot from the USB i get OS not found..
[03:02] <DasEi> mediaprodigy: medibuntu ?
[03:02] <DasEi> !medibuntu
[03:02] <man8> i an spanis
[03:02] <donusa100> Hello Room Don from Michigan
[03:03] <_GRUB_> joshnetbook: most likely that when you copied the ubuntu iso to the drive it left files out. just format it and try putting the iso on again
[03:03] <mediaprodigy> yes medibuntu
[03:03] <DasEi> backtrack0001: then sth. went wrong with the usb-installation, first, are you sure the box supports usb-boot, stick found in bios ?
[03:03] <ardchoille> What is the default irc client installed with a fresh Ubuntu system? Does Ubuntu install one?
[03:03] <DasEi> mediaprodigy: go with the link, add repos, update apt, install desired
[03:03] <xangua> ardchoille: since karmic, empathy is the default im; it supports a lot of networks incluiding irc
[03:04] <rww> ardchoille: Empathy is the nearest thing it installs. It's barely useable as an IRC client, though.
[03:04] <backtrack0001> DasEi: I have a live cd of this distro i want persistent on a USB boot it up, create the partitions, format them. use unetbootin to extrack the ISO to it and install bootloader. and yes,i have USB stick in my boot options
[03:04] <ardchoille> xangua rww Thanks
[03:04] <dj_segfault> xangua: I thought pidgin was the default
[03:04] <Blue1> ardchoille: i use the irc client in pidgin - but you have to install that
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> mediaprodigy:  the medibuntu reposiutory page has dirctons on the commands to use.
[03:04] <ardchoille> dj_segfault: it was changed in KArmic
[03:04] <Dr_Willis> !medibuntu
[03:04] <joshnetbook> ok thanks
[03:04] <_GRUB_> irssi!
[03:04] <xangua> dj_segfault: (21:03:55) xangua: ardchoille: #since #karmic, empathy is the default im; it supports a lot of networks incluiding irc
[03:05] <ardchoille> Blue1: yeah, I use xchat,I'm helping new users get up and running
[03:05] <mediaprodigy> thanks guys for the DVD help a..
[03:05] <Blue1> irssi is good
[03:05] <Blue1> ardchoille: I don't use xchat it looks pretty complicated for what I need
[03:05] <Atomic> Anyone use PDAnet with Android and Ubuntu?
[03:05] <ardchoille> I think I'll keep her with empathy and she can branch out from there
[03:05] <a359> backtrack0001: try adding to the boot option: cdrom-detect/try-usb=true
[03:05] <mediaprodigy> everyone...  :)
[03:05] <_GRUB_> xchat is really simple
[03:06] <DasEi> backtrack0001: things go little messy then : unetbootin will create sth like a live-usb, no changes possible. for persistent take a look at pendrivelinux, just like a standard install to a usb stick, if it's a disk, can directly install to it
[03:06]  * dj_segfault tries out Empathy.  Back in a bit
[03:06] <Blue1> _GRUB_: I couldn't figure out how to be on multiple networks - easy in pidgin
[03:06] <schnitzel> * THE GAME *
[03:06] <a359> backtrack0001: you have to press <tab> at the unetbootin start menu to edit the boot options, then enter that option
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> Unetbootin needt to get a make perisstant save file option some day
[03:06] <DasEi> backtrack0001: wheres usb-creator will give some extra spaces for own savings
[03:06] <DasEi> wheras*
[03:06] <backtrack0001> DasEi: the distro is backtrack and the USB drive is 4gb
[03:06] <Colonel_Panik> a359,  xterm works with red and white and watch for me anyway
[03:06] <tenshinoneko> hello ^^ everyone i'm trying to auto lock in when signin in, so far i used  gnome-screensaver-command --lock but it wont lock up T_T
[03:07] <backtrack0001> I'll check that out a359
[03:07] <DasEi> backtrack0001: though no support here, it's same
[03:07] <rww> ardchoille: pointing them at webchat.freenode.net is easier if they're only going to be using it occasionally
[03:07] <_GRUB_> Blue1: I think u just press ctrl s to get back your server list and connect to another one
[03:07] <ardchoille> rww: Nope, their switching from Windows to Ubuntu :D
[03:07] <Blue1> _GRUB_: i may look at it again someday
[03:07] <DasEi> backtrack0001: you either want usb-creator or - better, pendrivelinux (google it)
[03:08] <backtrack0001> okay googling
[03:08] <HowardtheDuck> how do i downgrade to the old grub so i can change the order of my menu
[03:08] <a359> Colonel_Panik: hmm. thanks for checking. i'm not sure what I need to do to get it working then...
[03:09] <DasEi> backtrack0001: important is to have the stick formatted properly before, fat 16 or 32 often on that size
[03:09] <backtrack0001> DasEi: yeah the instructions say to make a 1.5gb partition in vfat and the remainder on drive in ext3
[03:09] <Dr_Willis> HowardtheDuck:  ive seen somd guides/forums on tweaking the order wth grub2 - that may be easier
[03:09] <DasEi> HowardtheDuck: if it's just the order, checkout /etc/default/grub
[03:10] <Colonel_Panik> a359,  xterm works with blue and white and watch for me  what are you running with watch?
[03:10] <DasEi> backtrack0001: the told apps will handle partiton proper, but the inital fs is important for thwm to recognize the stick correctly
[03:10] <Sj4m35-15> anyone use the mini.iso ubuntu 9.10?
[03:11] <DasEi> Sj4m35-15: did
[03:11] <Sj4m35-15> whaddaya think?
[03:11] <backtrack0001> DesEi: will i still be able to follow the remainder of this tutorial for making persistent with nessus
[03:11] <DasEi> Sj4m35-15: works, updated packages once, slower, nice expert-options
[03:12] <axisys> how is it that when from my ubuntu laptop's terminal I ssh to one ubuntu server the terminal title changes to the remote server.. but from same ubuntu laptop when I ssh to this other ubuntu server the title of the terminal does not change to the remote server ? what do I have to change on the remote server to behave the same way ?
[03:12] <mtx_init> I added the vdpau PPA, but my vlc is still running at around 60-70% when running the HD content, any ideas on why?
[03:12] <DasEi> backtrack0001: a persistent ubuntu behaves like a standard install
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  check your bash startup scripts and wht they are setting the prompt 'PS1' variable to.

[03:19] <axisys> Dr_Willis: thanks.. found it
[03:19] <Sj4m35-15> anyone ever use openbox?
[03:19] <axisys> Dr_Willis: PROMPT_COMMAND='if [ $TERM = "vt100" ]; then printf "\033k${HOSTNAME%%.*}\033\\" ; fi'

[03:20] <axisys> Dr_Willis: i guess the prompt_command does it
[03:20] <a359> Colonel_Panik: so if I do that, instead of seeing "bash" in green, I see [00m[01;32mbash[00m
[03:20] <axisys> Dr_Willis: thanks
[03:20] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  actually its the escape codes the prompt prints that does it. :)

[03:21] <dehqan> there is a folder including folders and files ? how to chmod 755 all folders and 644 all files in it
[03:21] <erik__> Blackcamaro8, Install to a USB stick
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> axisys:  i forget the exact ones. Theres a bash prompt howto that details it.. in agonizing details. :) and i recall a bash prompt generator tool out there also.
[03:22] <seele> or at least could someone help me manually mount an encrypted partition so i can at least back up my data before i reinstall?
[03:22] <[_miT_]> dehqan: recursive, i.e. chmod -R 777 file/folder
[03:22] <axisys> Dr_Willis: wow! thanks :-)
[03:22] <mr-grey2> Is Xubuntu an ok OS to learn if you are completly new to linux? I heard you can do more with skins and themes with it and I'm just beginning linux.
[03:22] <Blackcamaro8> erik__:That installs GRUB to my primary hard drive. I don't want that. I want a fully portable installation.

[03:24] <zeek0124> can someone help me with my audio ive been working on it tirelessly please
[03:24] <Blackcamaro8> DasEi: I've been there before. Can you send me an individual link on how to install Ubuntu on a flash drive? All I've found are links that make a USB installer.
[03:24] <erik__> Blackcamaro8,  Are you sure I've done it several times and it works for me. Anyways "just" install grub on the USB disk yourself.
[03:24] <bjb1959> Is there anyone that knows why x won't start when I install the nvidia drivers with my geforce gt 240? nv driver works fine but nvidia driver causes x not to start
[03:25] <DasEi> Blackcamaro8: I got you like usb-stick for a flash drive;; is it a sd card ? ssd-hd ?
[03:26] <javatexan> I've got  libstdc++.so.6, but this program is dying because libstdc++.so.5.  Can I add that one too, seems like that would cause other problems....help?
[03:26] <Blackcamaro8> DasEi: Yes, it's a Sandisk Cruzer Micro 4GB. I want a FULL install of Ubuntu on there, GRUB and all.
[03:27] <Guest46002> guys I just reinstalled ubuntu on two of my computer (Both had Ubuntu 9.10 before) and now I cant get networking to work wired or wireless on laptops that had no problems before
[03:27] <Dr_Willis> Blackcamaro8:  you have to watch out that the isntaller dosent accidently install grub to the wrong hard drive. I recall some button/advanced option near the end of the install to tell to where to go
[03:27] <DasEi> Blackcamaro8: so given link is right, it's an usb tick, nor ? usb-creator let's you do something near it, but for a real install pendrivelinux is best
[03:27] <revo> Blackcamaro8 plug in your usb, disconnect all hdd,s install off a cd to the usb , and your done
[03:27] <tiago> Alguem pode me ajudar, eu tenho uma placa sis mirage 3, e o ubuntu não reconhece ela????Alguem pode me ajudar, eu tenho uma placa sis mirage 3, e o ubuntu não reconhece ela????
[03:27] <Blackcamaro8> revo: That's actually a good idea. Didn't think of that. Thanks :P
[03:28] <DasEi> revo: sometimes don't work with grub/casper
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> Blackcamaro8:  i tend to just use persistant-save enabled live usb type setups on flash drives.
[03:28] <Dr_Willis> Blackcamaro8:  or i set up grub2 to boot the iso files. :)
[03:28] <syrius> whats the best place to get themes for ubuntu?
[03:28] <syrius> what happened to all the old ones it use to have in the older releases?
[03:29] <bjb1959> I didn't think so....
[03:29] <xangua> syrius: 'gnome look'
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  theres the gnome look theme sites. and proberly some still in the repos.
[03:29] <revo> Blackcamaro8: dont install any restricted gpu drivers if you want it to be truly portabkle
[03:29] <syrius> I noticed the ones frrom art gnome dot work integrate better with gnome than with gome look dot ord
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> gotta love a collection of 10,000 theme parts.. most of which are so nasty you cant stand them :)
[03:29] <syrius> I dislike the ones frrom gnome looked
[03:29] <syrius> they don't work very well
[03:29] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  theres a lot of theme ppa collections out also
[03:30] <syrius> there is always some app tha doesn't work well
[03:30] <Dr_Willis> Ive never noticed an app that dident work well.. just some of the theme parts are ugly.
[03:30] <Blackcamaro8> revo: Figured that. Lol. Drivers are 'attached' to ONE specific line of device.
[03:30] <syrius> like I just install art-gnome.org and they work flawlessly
[03:31] <syrius> the ones from gnome-look.org I always have some app that doesn't get integrated well with the theme
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  they are all just user submited themes. so you just have to watch out for what ones you use
[03:31] <syrius> like firefox will be hard to read because the color didn't get right in the addons window
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> I proberly got 100+ theme/parts in my .themes dir ive collected over the years
[03:31] <Dr_Willis> firefox is themeable in itself.. so  that may be more of a FF issue.
[03:31] <marcobxbro1> anyone has a u301 EV-DO working with ubuntu?
[03:31] <darkstar1> How do I set the default browser in gnome. Mine's always firing up FF but I need itto fire up something else
[03:32] <syrius> no it can't be Dr_Willis
[03:32] <syrius> then why is it that art-gnome.org themes don't have that problem?
[03:32] <syrius> it is the normal system them
[03:32] <Brando753> guys I just reinstalled ubuntu on two of my computer (Both had Ubuntu 9.10 before) and now I cant get networking to work wired or wireless on laptops that had no problems before
[03:32] <syrius> not a custom one for firefox
[03:32] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  they are all user submited.. if you find an issue with one.. post to the themes forum/thread/notes on the site.
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> some usesr make them better then others..  its not a issue with the web site.
[03:33] <shubbar> from where do i manage system processes?
[03:33] <nanotube> darkstar1: system -> preferences -> preferred applications
[03:33] <xangua> syrius: a lot of themes in gnome look use other gtk engines wich you may have not installed and that is because they don't work in your system
[03:33] <nanotube> darkstar1: or something to that effect...
[03:33] <syrius> well how do I find themes made by devs?
[03:33] <darkstar1> nanotube: Thanks
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> Yea the whole gtk-engine stuff is often get goofy
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  look in the package manager for starters.
[03:33] <shubbar> i want the printer process to start on startup, now i do it manually
[03:33] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  and theres several theme PPA repos out that are better tested
[03:33] <syrius> yes I know that xangua usually the dev will say you need this package or what ever
[03:34] <frozzen> Hey! waz up!
[03:34] <syrius> I want some cool black themes Dr_Willis do you know of any?
[03:34] <syrius> even the black themes that come with ubuntu have problems
[03:34] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  no idea. I always go back to the same themes ive used over the last few years.  I find dark themes always have issues
[03:34] <hellupline> can anyone help me? I have a question about "quickly", I have a translated file in the "po /" folder, I want when I run "quickly package" pack it with the file "*. mo"
[03:35] <Dr_Willis> I want things clear, clean, and easy on my eyes.
[03:35] <syrius> but the ones I downloaded from art-gnome.org don't seem to have those problems
[03:35] <syrius> well this one that I got from art-gnome.org doesn't seem to have problems
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> syrius:  looks like you got one then.. enjoy.
[03:37] <hellupline> can anyone help me with the i18n in quickly ??
[03:38] <javatexan> so how do you deal with one silly program that wont install until you have libstdc++.so.5 when you already have libstdc++.so.6....why won't it work with just that one....Is there a safe way to add so.5 without messing up the other programs on the machine.....is this akin to dll hell in windows?
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> javatexan:  since the last .# is differnt the 2 should be able to coexist on the same system.
[03:38] <alcala> hi
[03:38] <alcala> hello, how can I play 3gp files in ubuntu????
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> javatexan:  or you could recompile the app to use the newer lib.
[03:38] <Brando753> guys I just reinstalled ubuntu on two of my computer (Both had Ubuntu 9.10 before) and now I cant get networking to work wired or wireless on laptops that had no problems before
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> alcala:  ive maanged to play them in vlc and gmplayer befor
[03:39] <javatexan> no can do, I think its only a binary install.
[03:39] <javatexan> :(
[03:39] <alcala> Dr_willis what do I need to install?
[03:39] <Dr_Willis> alcala:  proly the normal stuff. vlc, gnome mplayer, the w32codecs package perhaps. thats about all i ever install
[03:40] <mr-grey2> off the wall question but I like looking at porn and i heard linux is pretty tuff on not getting virus.. should i get a virus scanner anyhow?
[03:40] <mr-grey2> lol
[03:40] <Brando753> ... no you wont need one ...
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> !av | mr-grey2
[03:40] <alcala> Dr_willis I will try that.. =) thanks
[03:40] <hellupline> alcala maybe will need ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:40] <abo-> DasEi, does k3b allow you saving the dvd into a avi/mpg file on disk?
[03:41] <syrius> how do I get the gnome foot back in nautilus?
[03:41] <Dr_Willis> abo-:  k9copy and handbrake can also do that feature
[03:41] <Brando753> ... at least hes honest :D
[03:41] <DasEi> abo-: no, but into a mountable iso
[03:41] <mr-grey2> thanks Dr_Willis
[03:41] <Blackcamaro8> syrius: How did you remove it?
[03:41] <javatexan> wow...how do you just add libstdc++.so.5.....all i see is apt-get install libstdc++5...but that did not work
[03:41] <syrius> ubuntu did
[03:41] <syrius> the gnome foot for when the folder is loading

[03:43] <mr-grey2> sorry guys i'm a noob at linux i'm trying to learn it quickly so i don't ask stupid questions... but also a stupid question is a question that has not been asked yet
[03:43] <Dr_Willis> Biggest 'danger' ive seen to ubuntu systems are  people breaking their own systems because they think they know what they are doing.....
[03:43] <mr-grey2> :)
[03:43] <Dr_Willis> :)
[03:43] <DasEi> bypass: install putty on xp, have a ssh on your home box, register with dns if no static ip there ( as typical), consider changing port, securing, further look into portknocking (advanced)

[03:44] <Samual> I'm aware it's out of date, but 9.10 disappointed me a lot, and I don't want to upgrade.
[03:44] <AlienDK> ok
[03:44] <Dr_Willis> Samual:  ive noticed some servers a little slow lately. but eventyally mine completes

[03:46] <bypass> i tried gstm gui configure but its not doing anything
[03:46] <DasEi> bypass: you have to allow forwarding x, and putty just needs the ip and the port of ssh, for bypassing /w browser needed least a ssl-able proxy
[03:47] <hellupline> mr-grey2, that's because, inside the sistem. still is possible the write over sistem files
[03:47] <DasEi> bypass: better approach is to forward x over ssh and use home machines browser

[03:54] <dehqan> what is default permission of /var files ?
[03:54] <mr-grey2> ah
[03:54] <ubudog> root i think
[03:54] <DasEi> bypass: i suggest startup with ssh on a non standard port, and get the idea of server-client;; call center ;-)might have some techies
[03:54] <ubudog> ls -a /var
[03:54] <DasEi> !vpn | bypass
[03:54] <bypass> yea but they wont tell me :)
[03:54] <ubudog> nm about that, wrong command
[03:54] <bypass> system engineers say company policy etc
[03:54] <ubudog> root
[03:54] <mr-grey2> it's crazy with these crackers you almost need an ip cloak just to browse the net
[03:55] <ubudog> it is root
[03:55] <Dr_Willis> always great when you get FIRED for bypassing company firewalls...
[03:55] <bypass> lol
[03:55] <ubudog> ls -ld /var
[03:55] <bypass> well btunnel works
[03:55] <TheFuzz4> I am looking for someone who can help exploit some stuff http://en.securitylab.ru/nvd/390818.php
[03:55] <TheFuzz4> that is what we are trying to exploit
[03:55] <dj_segfault> I've heard of WAY too many people getting fired for circumventing policies they thought were unreasonable
[03:55] <bypass> but its a crap proxy service id rather use my own connection
[03:55] <TheFuzz4> no this is not for anything illegal
[03:55] <DasEi> bypass: so could cost your job, they can easily monitor what's going on, though can't read the traffic
[03:55] <TheFuzz4> so if you can help please PM me
[03:56] <bypass> well i dont mean to do stuff outside policy
[03:56] <bypass> but you are right
[03:56] <Dr_Willis> TheFuzz4:  but its not really Ubuntu support related. :) so perhaps in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:56] <TheFuzz4> Thank you Dr_Willis will go there
[03:56] <Kutakizukari> can the terminal that comes with Ubuntu be used for cvs and diff?
[03:57] <dehqan> what is default permission of /var files ?
[03:57] <DasEi> bypass: company rules used to be in contracts, it's their property, so just for some fun at work .. get a sim adapter and a notebook
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> Kutakizukari:  'the terminal' is gnome-terminal you mean? it can do any terminal stiuff you need
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  depends on the directory/file
[03:57] <Kutakizukari> Dr_Willis, thank you
[03:58] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  most subdirs are owned by root/root  or root/staff it seems
[03:58] <Kutakizukari> I downloaded smartcvs but do not know how to install it or to get it to run. Can anyone help?
[03:58] <dehqan> thanks all files in /var are 644 ?
[03:58] <a359> Colonel_Panik: yeah, I get that same behavior.
[03:59] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  they are not all the same .
[03:59] <Paineless> How does one change the default program to open a file in command prompt ?
[03:59] <alcala> how do I install codecs for 3gp??
[03:59] <jrib> Paineless: be more specific
[04:00] <dehqan> Dr_Willis:  humble made all 644 , will cause a problem ?
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  No idea..  i imagine its NOT a good idea.
[04:00] <Paineless> jrib~ i downloaded a new torrent client and i want to make sure it's the program that gets opened rather than the old client
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  so i bet there will be some issues sometime. they were the permissiosn they were.. for a reason
[04:01] <dehqan> is there anyway to make it like default
[04:01] <jrib> !defaultapp | Paineless
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  /var/lock seems to be 777 well its              drwxrwxrwt  2 root root    40 2010-03-06 11:11 lock
[04:01] <rabbit> how do i reset my nickname in irc
[04:01] <Dr_Willis> never seen a 't' in permissions befor.
[04:01] <Paineless> jrib~ bash: !defaultapp: event not found
[04:01] <DasEi> rabbit: #freenode for such quests;  /nick NewName
[04:01] <jrib> Dr_Willis: sticky bit
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> Paineless:  ! stuff are BOT commands in the channel Not bash
[04:02] <jrib> Paineless: read what ubottu said
[04:02] <dehqan> is there anyway to make permission like default Dr_Willis
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> Paineless:  Unless you want tolearn about the bash history feature that uses ! :)
[04:02] <rabbit> DasEi: i am unable to login to #freenode
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  no idea.
[04:02] <javatexan> whoa.....I am sorry, I didn't know that they whole libstdc++.so.5 was such an explosive topic on ubuntu.....just read a bug report about it....wow
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> dehqan:  I would be suprised at a single/simple command that would do it.
[04:02] <DasEi> !register > rabbbit
[04:03] <Dr_Willis> javatexan:  never heard/noticed anything about it to be honest.  cant recall any explosive debates on it in here.
[04:03] <dehqan> Dr_Willis: not single
[04:03] <Paineless> jrib, Dr_Willis~ ah :P i was hoping for the prompt command
[04:03] <DasEi> !register > rabbit
[04:03] <Paineless> jrib, Dr_Willis~ i know how to do it GUI style
[04:03] <javatexan> nope...but read this  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/431091
[04:03] <stevecam> is Me Menu a new thing that is coming in to ubuntu?
[04:04] <jrib> Paineless: do it gui style.  Why don't you want to do it that way?
[04:05] <Paineless> jrib~ because i know how to do it that way.. and i was hoping to learn how to do it without the GUI.
[04:05] <DasEi> Paineless: a file gets opened by the command you call it in trml
[04:05] <jrib> Paineless: go read the freedesktop.org spec on desktop files I guess and about nautilus internals :/
[04:06] <Paineless> DasEi, jrib~ :p thanks guys, was just curious, ill check it out
[04:06] <dehqan>  /var files permission , all have been 644 with my bad , is there anyway to restore permissions to default ?
[04:07] <xfact> Ubuntu can handle Blu-ray disk? (if handles then please consider giving any support link for more details)
[04:07] <jrib> dehqan: reinstall is the easiest way
[04:07] <jrib> xfact: help.ubuntu.com/community has a page about blu-ray
[04:08] <xfact> That means Ubuntu supports blu-ray disk...?
[04:08] <DasEi> xfact: can, if drive is supported
[04:08] <dehqan> jrib: thanks
[04:08] <xfact> ok thanks
[04:10] <syrius> Dr_Willis, the themes frrom art-gnome.org even integrate will with custom firefox themes too
[04:11] <syrius> :)
[04:11] <hipitihop> can I send mail out of the box or do I have to configure sendmail or somesuch ?
[04:11] <[_miT_]> hipitihop: i just put up a article on how to do that, using my gmail account to send mail
[04:12] <javatexan> that fixed it...thanks Dr_Willis:
[04:13] <javatexan> I just downloaded the package from Jaunty and installed it

[04:16] <random__> #join rabbnix
[04:17] <jrib> hipitihop: there's no mta by default, you should install exim or a friend (postfix, sendmail, whatever)
[04:17] <t0rc> Anyone have suggestions for good EER modeling software? I just need the diagraming abilities not a to code translation.
[04:19] <zeko>  hi guys, my mobile phone shows up on 'lsusb' but it does not have a mount point, how can i manually mount it?

[04:20] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: thats just a applet in AWN
[04:20] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: think its called the stacker
[04:20] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: dont have it installed on this laptop, or i would tell you the exact name
[04:21] <joeseph> hey guys
[04:21] <lahc3n> yeah i did add it but it show  files like http://lefremen.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/awn.png not like the first picture
[04:22] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: there are different stackers and applets
[04:22] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: i wish i had it in front of me, i would tell you the exact name
[04:22] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: it might also help if you install the development applets (they're unstable, but fun)
[04:23] <lahc3n> ok i ll look for some extras in synaptic
[04:23] <luis_> whats the command to install blocked actualizations?
[04:24] <luis_> and why they are blocked actus...
[04:25] <boldfilter> how do i create a script for nautilus, gedit?
[04:25] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: you also have to configure the stack with what you want on that rainbow list
[04:25] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: forgot to mention that
[04:26] <[_miT_]> lahc3n: so you may have the correct applet, you just need to add to it
[04:26] <Kutakizukari> Does anyone use Eclipse? How do I install Aptana and php perspectives?

[04:29] <Kutakizukari> brjann, I did waiting for replay for awhile now did not know if anyone knew here. thank  you for your response
[04:29] <[_miT_]> arthurmaciel: but, i guess you could make a 'sudo dhclient' bash file and add it to cron jobs
[04:31] <luis_> whats the command to install blocked actualizations?
[04:31] <luis_> and why they are blocked actus...
[04:32] <[_miT_]> luis_: i dont know what that is :(

[04:46] <khider> Hello all, I am trying to add another hard drive to my computer and to get it to mount it automatically--but keep getting error messeges
[04:46] <Balaji> Dear sirs, recently got my motherboard burnt, so I changed it, it is of different type but of the same brand- Biostar
[04:47] <hatake_kakashi> khider, what sort of error messages? and please use pastebin
[04:47] <Balaji> how do I refresh my hardware setings
[04:47] <khider> hatake_kakashi: OKay, just a sec
[04:47] <Jordan_U> Balaji, No need, pretty much everything is detected at boot.
[04:48] <x-blood-x> ..........
[04:48] <saml> hey, I need to pass sdhci.blacklist=yes  sdhci_pci.blacklist=yes    during boot. where can I put it so that i don't get kernel panic?  i'm using ubuntu netbook remix
[04:48] <hatake_kakashi> !repeat x-blood-x
[04:48] <khider> hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.ca/1826276
[04:48] <saml> /boot/grub/menu.lst # i can't find this
[04:48] <hatake_kakashi> !repeat | x-blood-x
[04:48] <Balaji> Thanks Mr.Jordan
[04:48] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | saml
[04:48] <Jordan_U> Balaji, You're welcome.
[04:49] <hatake_kakashi> khider, most likely you may not have setup the partitions and formatted it, I suggest you use something like gparted
[04:49] <saml> Jordan_U: ah thanks!
[04:49] <Jordan_U> saml, You're welcome.
[04:49] <DeltaLima28> can you boot ubuntu over a network?  like a pexi boot?
[04:49] <khider> hatake_kakashi: I did use gparted and did format it with an ext3 filesystem
[04:49] <tacobell> Has anyone in here used backtrack?
[04:49] <codygman> yeah.. its awesome
[04:50] <Jordan_U> DeltaLima28, Yes
[04:50] <[_miT_]> tacobell: yes
[04:50] <arthurmaciel> [_miT_]: thank you! I'll do that. I thought it would be posible to add some 'dhcp auto' somewhere. thanks
[04:50] <DeltaLima28> Jordan_U, thanks
[04:50] <khider> Hetor`: I suspect my fstab is not configured properly, can I show you?
[04:50] <[_miT_]> arthurmaciel: no prob bob :)
[04:50] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Sorry, that was for you
[04:50] <hatake_kakashi> khider, hmm so its showing up as formatted but it still couldn't be mounted? I think you might need to manually edit /etc/fstab
[04:50] <tacobell> I'm new to it and would like some help and direction...
[04:51] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Yeah, can I show you what I have and you can check my homework?
[04:51] <hatake_kakashi> khider, well yeah I could help but an output of fdisk -l as root would also be handy
[04:51] <DeltaLima28> if i can boot ubuntu over the network and i have server2008 deployment server up, can i push it out through there?
[04:52] <khider> hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.ca/1826279
[04:52] <tacobell> MIT?
[04:52] <[_miT_]> DeltaLima28: im sure you could. google up serving images via pixie on win2008
[04:52] <[_miT_]> tacobell: check your PM bro
[04:53] <khider> hatake_kakashi: http://pastebin.ca/1826280
[04:53] <DeltaLima28> [_miT_], thanks i will
[04:53] <saml> oh darn grub became so complicated. where would i add boot options like sdhci.blacklist=yes
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> saml:  if its a kernel option. In grub 2 i think thers a line in /etc/default/grub
[04:53] <xiambax> Hey, Is anyone here a community ppc developer?
[04:54] <Jordan_U> !anyone | xiambax
[04:54] <Dr_Willis> !ppc
[04:54] <hatake_kakashi> khider, you have a weird setup in your other hard drive
[04:54] <saml> Dr_proX: ah thanks. i was looking at /etc/grub.d
[04:54] <Kutakizukari> I get this while trying to install aptana plugin An error occurred while installing the items
[04:54] <Kutakizukari>   session context was:(profile=PlatformProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]org.eclipse.ant.ui 3.4.1.v20090901_r351, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.actions.InstallBundleAction).

[04:54] <Kutakizukari>  does this mean anything to anyone?
[04:54] <FloodBot4> Kutakizukari: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:55] <xiambax> Its not supported but I wanted to know if I could resize my hfs volume and dualboot from the alternative ppc disk
[04:55] <hatake_kakashi> khider, are you trying to fix a setup on that other hard drive or do you want to start clean?
[04:55] <khider> hatake_kakashi: It is not weird, it is incompetence
[04:55] <Jordan_U> xiambax, Yes, you can.
[04:55] <xiambax> Ok thanks
[04:55] <khider> hatake_kakashi: It is completely blank btw
[04:55] <hatake_kakashi> khider, well you weren't making it clear at start
[04:55] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Sorry, it is completely blank
[04:55] <hatake_kakashi> khider, apparently the disk isn't
[04:56] <khider> hatake_kakashi: The tera-byte is blank
[04:56] <khider> hatake_kakashi: How do you suggest I proceed?
[04:56] <hatake_kakashi> khider, it isn't, there's a partition table setup for it
[04:57] <hatake_kakashi> khider, look at your output of fdisk -l and tell me that /dev/sdb isn't blank
[04:57] <khider> hatake_kakashi: Okay, I was trying to format it but I guess I screwed up.
[04:57] <hatake_kakashi> khider, and what are your intentions with that spare terabyte hard disk? use it as a whole and start clean?
[04:58] <ShadeS> so it keeps freezing on 33% of the format, and my scroll andcaps lock keep flashing..
