[18:50] <techbw> thanx trying it now, the user is not currently connected to the machine, will try with my own account
[18:51] <nyp4life> !grub
[18:51] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[18:52] <techbw> another question that i got, does anyone know of a linux boot floppy that will allow you to boot from CD, my one laptop is ancient, and would like to load linux on it, but does not boot from cd as it uses usb CD ROM
[18:52] <batis610>  i try to install ies4linux in gutsy, and i got this message : http://pastebin.com/m3d1383c0
[18:54] <techbw> or is there another meathod i can use to install ubuntu onto the machine?
[18:54] <vedavox> aaah, KDE4 updates have been fixed :)
[18:55] <vedavox> techbw: can you boot from a USB drive?
[18:55] <techbw> laptop does not have that option nativly in bios.
[18:55] <n1tro> Hey I have a problem, my kubuntu doesn't recognize my mouses mouse4 and mouse5 button but thinks they're all middlemouse buttons. any idea how i could fix this?
[18:56] <kelvie_> yay.. so now I can have emacs and kde4 on the same computer? :P
[18:56] <bascule> is setting proposed updates gonna 'hardy' my new install?
[18:56] <bascule> i saw a lot of kde4 things there
[18:57] <PhilippeP> it was worth waiting .... the update does not want to uninstall gnome packages
[18:59] <vedavox> techbw, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy at the very end of the howto tells you what to do.
[18:59] <techbw> thx for the link
[19:00] <techbw> was at a site where someone else wanted the same thing, but they did not post what they did, to get thier machine working
[19:03] <vedavox> I haven't actually used a floppy for about 4 years
[19:03] <techbw> vedavox:  would this work for pcmcia cdrom as well ... on another machine i got win98 but if this will work on there to I would load ubuntu.
[19:03] <laslavic> Hey, what are the default groups that the first user is a part of?
[19:04] <vedavox> techbw: if you know the mountpoint of the cd will be, prob /dev/sda, but not sure about pcmcia
[19:06] <techbw> i would think it would need to load some drivers for the disk, maybe i should try put the cd in and see if it will boot, have never tried
[19:07] <gourdin> is the kde 4 update the real 4.0.1 or a recent svn version ?
[19:10] <dangb> I have the desktop cd (kubuntu), is it possible to mount an already existing partition to /home during the installation process?
[19:10] <pablo> Hi, I'm having trouble with my ubuntu
[19:10] <pablo> It hangs when booting with a message like "waiting for the root filesystem". What could be wrong?
[19:11] <pablo> dangh: It is possible, choose manual patitioning
[19:11] <techbw> dangb:  it is possible, but will have to google again, can't remember which file needs to be edited
[19:11] <n1tro> Hey, anybody know how my kubuntu would detect the special buttons of my mouse?
[19:12] <techbw> will need to google for it again
[19:12] <ThomasD> n1tro: is it logitech?
[19:12] <dangb> ok, thanks
[19:12] <techbw> dangb:  what file system you want to mount?
[19:12] <ThomasD> imouse

[19:16] <techbw> if you want it to mount during boot process you will need to edit fstab file

[19:21] <biopod> hi all, what to do if i fullishly installed the kde4 on top of kde3 that used to have compiz and i can only get kde4 with very weired screen colors and no kickoff ?
[19:24] <techbw> biopod: I am a noob, so if others seem to think i sound dumb so be it, but have you tried to remove kde4?
[19:26] <biopod> techbw:  actaully what I would like to achieve is a functional kde4.
[19:26] <techbw> try remove it, then re-install it.
[19:27] <hemanathan> how to install real player
[19:27] <flipstar> what you can do is rename your $HOME/.kde4 directory and log back in to your KDE 4 session. That'll put you back to the default settings.
[19:27] <techbw> have you also check that your repos are all enabled?

[19:28] <hemanathan> i don;t know how to install
[19:28] <hemanathan> slimey pete: i don;t know how to install
[19:28] <RMC> i do
[19:29] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: in a terminal, go to the right directory and type "./RealPlayer10GOLD.bin"
[19:29] <RMC> does anyone know where to start proggraming
[19:29] <RMC> as in anygood websites
[19:29] <RMC> ?
[19:29] <SlimeyPete> what language?
[19:29] <hemanathan> slimey pete: thats all nothing more than that
[19:30] <RMC> java
[19:30] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: yeah, I think so
[19:30] <hemanathan> slimey pete: ok thank you
[19:30] <SlimeyPete> RMC: for java it's probably best to buy a book. There's lots of material online but most is aimed at people who an already program.
[19:30] <RMC> does anyone know what the most common language is to use and is it the easiest
[19:30] <RMC> ?

[19:33] <aleksanteri> tcl ftw
[19:33] <hemanathan> scorpking: hi i've downloaded d4x-<IP_ADDRESS>-1.i386.rpm i need to know the installation procedure
[19:34] <SlimeyPete> !rpm
[19:34] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[19:34] <ScorpKing> hemanathan: see if you can find it in the repos or find a .deb for it otherwise convert it to deb with alien
[19:34] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: you know d4x is available via apt, right?
[19:34] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: you can use Adept or apt-get to install it
[19:34] <SlimeyPete> !apt
[19:34] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[19:36] <hemanathan> ubotu: i've tar files also
[19:36] <SlimeyPete> !bot
[19:36] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[19:36] <SlimeyPete> ubotu isn't a person :)
[19:36] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: you should use Adept.
[19:37] <hemanathan> i don't know how to use the same for installation
[19:37] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: you can find Adept in the K menu, it is already installed. It will allow you to install d4x and lots of other programs without downloading files from websites
[19:37] <hemanathan> slimeypete:i don't know how to use the same for installation
[19:37] <SlimeyPete> !adept
[19:37] <ubotu> adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto
[19:38] <hemanathan> slimeypete:tat's only how
[19:38] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: I'm afraid I can't understand what you're saying
[19:40] <hemanathan> slimeypete: i'm new to linux so i need the step by step procedure to open in adept packag manager
[19:41] <SlimeyPete> hemanathan: read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto

[19:41] <ScorpKing> hemanathan: your internet working fine today?

[19:46] <hemanathan> scorpking: yes is there any way to increase the speed

[19:51] <hemanathan> scorpking: i get error list of sources could not be found
[19:53] <ScorpKing> hemanathan: run sudo apt-get update. is there an error again?
[19:53] <BluesKaj> hemanathan, have edited your sources.list at all since installing kubuntu ?
[19:54] <hemanathan> blueskaj: no
[19:54] <BluesKaj> hemanathan,Open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage  Repositories. Click the Kubuntu software tab,check all the boxes "X". The same goes for the third party software tab. Close,and then in the terminal "sudo apt-get update".Now you have more sources for applications other than the defaults that came with Kubuntu.

[20:39] <freakyy> because of the SHMConfig in the xorg.conf - which i added

[20:40] <freakyy> :(
[20:41] <Tecumseh> MLW: hard but indeed possible
[20:41] <MLW> not by regular users?
[20:41] <MLW> were talking experts?
[20:41] <JoshOvki> MLW there might be one, but for it to install they would need a password for sudo
[20:41] <MLW> can i scan?
[20:41] <morphine> how do I add a user to an existing group?
[20:41] <morphine> on the command line
[20:41] <freakyy> i do: adduser <user> <group>

[20:42] <morphine> sorry, an existing user to an existing group
[20:42] <freakyy> as root

[20:42] <morphine> thanks
[20:42] <freakyy> jussi01: thank you
[20:42] <Tecumseh> JoshOvki: that can be sircumvented by a script that helps you install something, installing the keylogger on the side. For instance Automatix of Envy could do such things (don't say they do)
[20:42] <morphine> now I can administer my website :)
[20:43] <JoshOvki> Tecumseh: true
[20:44] <freakyy> jussi01: i have it like that. ksynaptics still tells me there wasnt an SHMConfig "on" in the touchpad section but there really is. the touchpad also is working but scrolling f.e. doesnt work without the driver it seems.
[20:45] <jussi01> freakyy: have you tried restarting x ?
[20:45] <sub[t]rnl> have you restarted x since changing your xorg.conf

[20:49] <jussi01> jeisma: yeah
[20:49] <jussi01> jeisma: you may also be able to right lick it and install with wine
[20:50] <jussi01> s/lick/click :P
[20:50] <jeisma> jussi01 so how about when i want to play the game? what do i do?
[20:51] <enzo>  i'd like to modify /etc/resolv.conf, but it's said in this file to not edit directly, so how can i modify it ?

[20:58] <braiam> Hello there
[20:59] <braiam> does anybody know how to solve this? when I copy files to any ntfs partition, konqueror says me that "could not change permissions for (filename)". The file is copied, but it is triggering that error
[21:05] <hyper_ch> hiho, I wonder if I use a keyfile for dm_crypt/luks is there something I should worry about? minimal filesize or something?

[21:19] <Tecumseh> I'm having a problem with a simple usb camera (my son's camera). When connected it won't let me download images, just browse the content of the camera. This is the lsusb line that lists the device: "Bus 001 Device 009: ID 0553:0202 STMicroelectronics Imaging Division (VLSI Vision) Aiptek PenCam 1" It did work in Feisty, why doesn't it work in Gutsy and how to fix that?

[22:05] <Negatratoron> In other words, I have a problem with kubuntu crashing, and I have some raw screen output from various crashes, but I don't know what any of it means
[22:05] <Negatratoron> Is anyone available?
[22:06] <unagi> kubuntu never crashes
[22:06] <unagi> you're doing something wrong
[22:06] <jussi01> Negatratoron: it would be helpful if you pastebinned what you have
[22:06] <unagi> obviously im kidding

[22:26] <Negatratoron> I am leaning towards the first bit about the kernel panic as the source of the problem...
[22:27] <Negatratoron> I'm sure that the freezes are not a hardware problem, because Windows XP runs fine and dandy
[22:28] <Negatratoron> The computer just stops responding to everything, including any and all keyboard and mouse input
[22:28] <Negatratoron> If there is a sound playing, it starts looping the most recent half second or so
[22:29] <JoshOvki> Negatratoron : is it on the same harddrive as the XP?
[22:29] <Negatratoron> no
[22:29] <JoshOvki> could be a failing drive, does it click at all?
[22:29] <Negatratoron> nope
[22:30] <JoshOvki> no change in noise as it happens (apart from the music)
[22:30] <Negatratoron> What?
[22:30] <JoshOvki> The computer doesnt make any unusual noises as it crashes?
[22:30] <Negatratoron> no, it doesn't
[22:31] <JoshOvki> hmmm. not sure then sorry
[22:31] <Negatratoron> Thank you anyway
[22:31] <Negatratoron> I'm just kind of lost :)
[22:36] <ScorpKing> Negatratoron: it should say why you get a kernel panic
[22:36] <Negatratoron> Where?
[22:37] <Negatratoron> If you mean by the kernel panic message, I could try to get the computer to freeze and show that message again...
[22:37] <e`DrAvEn> does kubuntu gutsy have a RT kernel by default?
[22:37] <Negatratoron> Do you know if there is a log file somewhere that would have this stuff?
[22:37] <ScorpKing> yeah. there's usually some usefull msg before you get a kernel panic
[22:38] <ScorpKing> Negatratoron: all logs are in /var/log/
[22:38] <Negatratoron> Oh, I forgot to type a bit into the pastebin
[22:39] <Negatratoron> Oh, no I didn't
[22:39] <jussi01> e`DrAvEn: yes, just sudo apt-get install linux-rt
[22:40] <e`DrAvEn> I tried and it didn't find the package
[22:40] <jussi01> e`DrAvEn: you need to have multiverse I think
[22:40] <cpk1> I have a question, trying to boot from a 2.6.24 kernel I got from git and the entries for where to boot from are the same in grub but for some reason the 2.6.24 kernel says it cant find hd0,0 why is this?

[22:42] <jeisma> i started up a game that wont go away

[22:50] <sub[t]rnl> sme➜ hard to tell with another manufacturer install cds.  Best way to find out is to try.
[22:52] <sme> when i run windows install program in the begining of the installation it says that my harddrive is just 900 mb but the accual sixe is 146 Gb
[22:52] <sub[t]rnl> sounds like its trying to install on the wrong partition?
[22:53] <sme> The computer is formated with kubuntu allready and i selected to use the whole hd when i installed kubuntu
[22:53] <sub[t]rnl> ask in #windows
[22:54] <kkathman> what does it mean when and update says "Failed to write commit log" ?
[22:54] <ScorpKing> maybe your disk is full? ;)
[22:55] <kkathman> not a chance I have like 500gb and only using 20%

[23:13] <venik> can anyone help me print from a WINDOWS machine via the network from a WINDOWS (XP) machine?

[23:13] <hydrogen> WINDOWS?
[23:13] <hydrogen> nope!
[23:13] <venik> and I want to print to it from Windows
[23:13]  * hydrogen wanders off
[23:14] <crweb> venik: you would need ipp/cups drivers for windows probably
[23:14] <crweb> or setup samba printer sharing on kubuntu
[23:14] <venik> how do I do that?
[23:15] <hola1> sameone know pppoe
[23:15] <venik> Windows does not seem to find this printer on the network when it browses for network printers
[23:15] <crweb> sudo apt-get install samba
[23:15] <crweb> venik: thats because it is searching for Windows shared printers via Windows File Sharing
[23:15] <crweb> you would have to setup kubuntu for windows file sharing with samba
[23:16] <venik> Adept says that SAMBA is installed
[23:17] <filo1234> hi to all i have a problem with kbluetooth, with my telephonei cannot send files on pc

[23:18] <venik> thanks-- that seems relevant, and possibly even helpful

[23:19] <crweb> venik: that one is even newer
[23:19] <crweb> (last month)
[23:19] <crweb> it is muc more in depth and is for setting up users and stuf
[23:20] <venik> thanks-- I am reading it
[23:23] <venik> I was hoping to find some GUI application for setting things up, rather than editing a long conf file... ;-(
[23:24] <shinda> hey guys, recently I've found my computer to complete stand stills, to the point where everything is frozen and I can't ssh (computer times out off of the network after a bit also) and no response from any devices ie mouse/ keyboard, anyone know if I can find or trace what might be triggering this to happen?
[23:29] <ScorpKing> shinda: open konsole and type free .what does it say on the swap line?
[23:30] <axel_> Hello! I've got a problem with Kile. When I try to compile a document with citations I get a warning saying that there was no .nls-file. Can anybody help me cofiguring Kile?
[23:34] <filo1234> hi to all i have a problem with kbluetooth, with my telephonei cannot send files on pc
[23:34] <ScorpKing> shinda: it sounds like your swap is turned off.
[23:35] <hola1> filo1234: have you time to answer to my question in ubuntu.it?
[23:39] <shinda> sorry i was just in here a minute ago, talking about random system halts, anyways it happened again, someone mentioned free in konsole,
[23:39] <shinda> I get for swap: Swap:      1502036          0    1502036
[23:40] <ScorpKing> shinda: oh ok. swap is on then.
[23:42] <ScorpKing> shinda: does it stops working after a while of being logged in?
[23:43] <shinda> ScorpKing, it differs last time it halted was after less then 30 mins, other times longer, like maybe a day
[23:44] <filo1234> hola1: maybe come on
[23:44] <ScorpKing> shinda: weird. anything in the logs? maybe do a ram test
[23:44] <shinda> ScorpKing, any idea which log in particular I should be looking at
[23:44] <ScorpKing> no idea
[23:45] <ScorpKing> error messeges or something that doesn't look right
[23:46] <hola1> filo1234: are you in .it?
[23:47] <filo1234> yes
[23:47] <shinda> ScorpKing, nothing that I could find so far, got any advice on how to do a ram test?
[23:48] <ScorpKing> shinda: the livecd or the last grub entry. it's usually a lack of memory that cause that as far as i know
[23:49] <shinda> Thanks, I'll give it a try
[23:49] <venik> can't get SAMBA to run, although it is installed
[23:49] <jessie> venik: how are you trying to get it to run?
[23:50] <venik> smbclient -L localhost
[23:50] <venik> to check it
[23:50] <venik> and it says it is not running
[23:50] <jessie> ummm..... "sudo /etc/init.d/samba start"?
[23:50] <venik> it says also that the command samba is not found
[23:51] <venik> progress-- it started, but:
[23:51] <venik> udi@udi-desktop:~$ smbclient -L localhost
[23:51] <venik> Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)
[23:51] <jessie> k, well... i dont know. hm... but i have to go now. you sure you have it insatlled? ie, "sudo apt-get install samba"?
[23:51] <venik> I use Adept, and it says Samba is installed
[23:52] <venik> also after I typed your command it started
[23:52] <jessie> k, well i need to go now
[23:52] <jessie> bye
[23:52] <venik> ok-- thanks


[01:13] <jml> hello
[01:13] <jml> fwiw, the new kernel seems to hang on boot on my macbook.
[01:13] <jml> I haven't had time yet to do the proper diagnosis and file a bug report, but looking around on LP I didn't find any that matched.
[01:16] <jml> it seems partly related to bug 84359.
[01:16] <jml> just mentioning in case anyone has more detailed info to hand.
[04:27] <BenC> jml: Probably more like bug #84964
[05:06] <jml> BenC: yeah
[05:08] <jml> BenC: so I guess the kernel team doesn't have much in the way of mac hardware for testing?
[05:08] <BenC> jml: Actually kyle has a macbook
[05:08] <BenC> and he doesn't see the problem
[05:08] <BenC> I doubt it's macbook specific, sounds more like an issue with missing PCI ID's
[05:08] <jml> BenC: is it a Core Duo or a Core 2 Duo?
[05:09] <BenC> Core2
[05:09] <jml> interesting.
[05:09] <BenC> jml: Can you show me your lspci -n?
[05:09] <jml> BenC: http://rafb.net/p/Q1sPvk35.html
[05:10] <BenC> jml: "lspci" too please
[05:10] <BenC> so I don't have to cross reference a dozen id's :)
[05:11] <jml> oh, right.
[05:11] <jml> http://rafb.net/p/ZWR47724.html
[05:14] <BenC> jml: Sweet, I just found the bug
[05:14] <jml> BenC: neat.
[05:15] <BenC> simple typo, so piix (the ide module) was trying to operate the device, and kept ata_piix (the libata module) from handling it like it's supposed to
[05:15] <BenC> damn, wish I had found this about 2 hours ago, could have included it with the upload
[05:16] <jml> well, it will get uploaded eventually. And once that happens, and ndiswrapper gets updated, I'll be able to run a 2.6.20 kernel again!
[05:18] <jml> oh. maybe it did get updated.
[05:18] <jml> interesting.

[11:34] <dade`> is there any plan to make macbooks sleep ?
[01:54] <BenC> dade`: Like "sleep with the fishes" kind of sleep, or real computer suspend/resume sort of stuff?
[01:55] <BenC> if the former, talk to fabbione :)
[01:58] <dade`> sleep -> suspend to ram
[01:59] <mjg59> dade`: What's the bug?
[01:59] <mjg59> It works fine on my pro
[02:01] <dade`> not on mine
[02:01] <dade`> not on non-pro
[02:01] <mjg59> Running what?
[02:02] <dade`> ubuntulog, both feisty and edgy
[02:02] <dade`> ubuntu
[02:02] <mjg59> How does it fail?
[02:02] <dade`> the HD powers off
[02:02] <dade`> the screen gets black but backlight is ON
[02:02] <dade`> and does not sleep
[02:02] <dade`> the led does not pulse
[02:02] <mjg59> This is from a clean install?
[02:03] <dade`> i tried even booting with init=/bin/bash
[02:03] <dade`> then sleeping by echoing mem > /sys/power/state
[02:03] <mjg59> Core or Core 2?
[02:03] <dade`> core duo
[02:04] <dade`> not 2 core duo
[02:04] <mjg59> Ok. File a bug
[02:05] <dade`> can't get any useful information, it would not be useful i think.. i'll see if there is something already
[05:51] <Keybuk> Evgeniy Polyakov, the author of the kevent patches, has not been sitting still while these patches have gone around. His proposal is called eventfs; it is a special filesystem which offers the ability to bind events to file descriptors. The first version of the patch only handles signals, via a system call named (yes) signalfd():
[05:51] <Keybuk> --
[05:51] <Keybuk> oh yes, give me one more special kernel filesystem
[05:51] <Keybuk> we don't have enough yet
[05:52] <kylem> is that lwn?
[05:52] <Keybuk> yes
[08:49] <Whoopie> Hi, is it allowed to open a bug reports with a collection of some patches I'd like to have in ubuntu kernel? Or do I need to open a bug report for each patch?
[08:56] <JanC> Whoopie: I think you best separate things into "problems" ?
[08:57] <Whoopie> JanC: ok
[08:57] <JanC> that's just my opinion, and it is how I would do it  :)
[08:57] <JanC> to solve this problem  use this patch (or these patches if a combination is needed)
[09:07] <Whoopie> e.g. KVM and VirtualBox have problems with by default enabled NMI. but 2.6.21-rc there's a patch for disabling it by default: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=8ce5e3e45e01ffab38a9f03900181132b9068543
[09:10] <JanC> Whoopie: I'm not a kernel dev  :)
[10:00] <crimsun> Whoopie: file a bug against linux-source-2.6.20 and reference that commit hash
[10:00] <Lure> BenC: can you review proposed patch from bug 75398 and consider including it - it looks like it fixes problem for many hp laptops
[10:00] <Lure> BenC: see also bugs 89779 and 74877 (probably duplicates)
[10:10] <Whoopie> crimsun: done, thanks!
[11:46] <zul> hey
[11:53] <fabbione> zul: you shouldn't be here.. really :)
[11:59] <zul> fabbione: im not really here...really :)
