[03:44] <zcat[1]> Orion777:  are you talking about sudo passwords or stungs like email and IM and web page login passwords? those programs almost always have a 'save password' checkbox exactly for that purpose
[03:45] <phillipsm> Shane_: but the link you gave looks pretty straightforward...if you can't get to the repo's id look into fixing that first and then follow the forum post exactly like it is
[03:45] <zcat[1]> *things not stungs
[03:45] <holmser> Is there a way to unzip all the files in a directory recursively?
[03:45] <Spoom> i am attempting to burn a dvd iso to a dvd+r, have tried with both brasero and dvdrecord, and both have failed, brasero with an unknown error, dvdrecord with "dvdrecord: Input/output error. reserve track: scsi sendcmd: no error", any ideas for getting it to burn successfully?
[03:45] <holmser> using the command line?
[03:45] <Shane_> phillipsm: Ok, thats what im trying to do.  Its hard. Do you know, after i run make install, everything seemed successful, so can i move on to the next step?
[03:45] <epinky> !unr | duryodhan
[03:45] <zcat[1]> holmser:  find . -name "*.zip" -exec unzip {} \;
[03:46] <Shane_> phillipsm: I can't connect with either wireless or wired networks, thats my main issue
[03:46] <rsukumar> hey guyz, I need to configure my .asoundrc file, can u guyz help me?
[03:46] <System-7> hmmmm
[03:46] <rsukumar> any poiters plz
[03:46] <System-7> the answer is so close
[03:46] <jceggbert5> can anyone help me?
[03:47] <DasEi> Johnn: I just looked it up, the open radeon driver will do the job
[03:47] <genii> jceggbert5: Best to just ask whichever question you have, and see if someone assists
[03:47] <jceggbert5> NDISWrapper Help, Please, I have Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, "Install Inside Windows" option...
[03:47] <Johnn> and that's the fglrx one?
[03:47] <khensthoth> rsukumar: Any reason you want to be manually editing that file?
[03:47] <phillipsm> Shane_: i understand...what you need to do though is figure that out first and then try the tutorial because compiling the fwcutter program from source prolly won't work the way the tutorial is doing it id guess
[03:47] <clueless2> ThunderBird works with Comcast E-mail Configuration.  Make sure to use 587 on the SMTP Mail Server port.  However I can't still get the Evolution to work with Comcast.
[03:47] <jceggbert5> I am unable to connect to my wireless network, I have installed the drivers, but I cannot connect
[03:47] <Shane_> phillipsm: Ok thanks
[03:48] <Geekthras> hm. I'm not sure how else to say this... I was hoping for something of a general walkthrough, or an explanation of what brctl does exactly
[03:48]  * genii sips and curses the Wubi
[03:48] <Shane_> phillipsm: I need to get fwcutter working to get wireless working, and i need to get online to get fwcutter. What an awesome loop :P
[03:48] <phillipsm> Shane_: what does apt-get install say when you run it?
[03:48] <frogzoo> brctl creates/destroys bridges - nuff said surely
[03:48] <phillipsm> Shane_:  to download fwcutter
[03:49] <System-7> how can I reinstall GRUB with the LiveCD?
[03:49] <DasEi> !who | Johnn
[03:49] <Shane_> phillipsm: cannot find package
[03:49] <zcat[1]> Shane_:  seriously, just find a network cable and use it for the two minutes it takes to install the firmware
[03:49] <epinky> holmser: use the -r flag if you're using gzip or gunzip
[03:49] <DasEi> Johnn: no, thatsthe os'es radeon
[03:49] <holmser> I actually need to unrar
[03:49] <Shane_> zcat[1]: Neither hardwired, wireless, or usb-wireless-dongle will work. I've tried everything.
[03:50] <DasEi> jceggbert5: tar runs recursivly by default
[03:50] <zcat[1]> Shane_:  what laptop?
[03:50] <Johnn> dasei: so how would I config that to recognize my svideo?
[03:50] <fonebone> whee...  installing dual boot xp/ubuntu on a netbook yay!
[03:50] <System-7> how can I reinstall GRUB with the LiveCD?
[03:50] <Shane_> zcat[1]: HP Mini 1100
[03:50] <phillipsm> Shane_: try apt-cache search b43-fwcutter
[03:50] <Orion777> zcat: I'm talking about a sudo app, it has no option to save password in it
[03:50] <zcat[1]> amazing, hardwired works _everywhere_
[03:50] <holmser> so... essentially I have a folder with 10 subdirs
[03:51] <Shane_> phillipsm: nothing returns
[03:51] <holmser> each subdir has 2 subdirs
[03:51] <rsukumar> i've sound prob, need to configure .asoundrc, help pls
[03:51] <Orion777> I'm trying to autostart it at startup
[03:51] <holmser> each of those subdirs contain a rar
[03:51] <epinky> jceggbert5: are propietary drivers enabled?
[03:51] <holmser> and I want to unzip them all at once
[03:51] <khensthoth> System-7: Would this help? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[03:51] <DasEi> Johnn: sudo synaptic, search for radeon
[03:51] <holmser> sorry... unrar
[03:51] <zcat[1]> Orion777:  which app?
[03:51] <Orion777> firestarter
[03:51] <phillipsm> Shane_: try apt-get update...if your sources.list file is setup right it should pull all the packages from those repo's in
[03:52] <zcat[1]> firestarte already launches itself at startup doesn't it?
[03:52] <phillipsm> Shane_: i get "b43-fwcutter - Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware" when i do apt-cache search b43-fwcutter on my comp
[03:52] <Shane_> phillipsm: It always errors when I try that, it can't resolve any of the hostnames because it can't connect to a network
[03:52] <Orion777> no it doesn't
[03:53] <phillipsm> Shane_: so how are you on here if you can't get on that network?
[03:53] <Orion777> I had to download it from packagekit
[03:53] <ASrock> in ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 is there a way to reorder my favorites on my home screen?
[03:53] <Shane_> phillipsm: On my desktop.
[03:53] <Orion777> I added it to autostart(system settings)
[03:53] <Orion777> I think it might be trying to run it as root
[03:54] <Johnn> dasei: okay which packages do I want? I've got radeontool and libdrm-radeon1,  xserver-xorg-video-radeon xserver-xorg-video-ati
[03:54] <jceggbert5> What do you mean. "proprietary drivers"
[03:54] <chronos> khensthoth, this command not work here :)
[03:54] <epinky> holmser: "unrar --help" ; it must be something like unrar e -r *.rar
[03:54] <phillipsm> Shane_:ah...well if you can't even connect using ethernet you have other problems besides the wireless not working
[03:54] <zcat[1]> The rules configured by firestarter are applied to the kernel at bootup.. you don't need firestarter running to have 'a firewall'
[03:55] <holmser> thats what I tried
[03:55] <phillipsm> Shane_: can i PM you?
[03:55] <jceggbert5> I installed ndisgtk via Synaptic Package Manager
[03:55] <fonebone> hrmm
[03:55] <Shane_> phillipsm: sure, i barley know irc so go for it. haha
[03:55] <ardchoille> !info b43-fwcutter
[03:56] <DasEi> xserver-xorg-video-ati, xserver-xorg-video-radeon,libdrm-radeon1  , Johnn
[03:56] <chronos> but, with apt-get I can force reinstall of package?
[03:56] <Fizix> How does it extracts the firmware?
[03:56] <Johnn> I have all those, what's the next step? dasei
[03:57] <epinky> jceggbert5: http://cybernetnews.com/install-and-enable-restricted-drivers-in-ubuntu/
[03:57] <DasEi> Johnn: you're done for that model then
[03:57] <DasEi> Johnn: what is the goal ?
[03:57] <zcat[1]> Fizix:  it downloads the windows drivers (which contains the firmware) .. then identifies what part of the windows binary is actually firmware and 'cuts' it and puts that in the appropriate kernel directory..
[03:57] <Johnn> svideo to tv, dual monitor
[03:58] <bjorkintosh> is there an ubuntu netflix client yet?
[03:58] <jceggbert5> It is not giving me a Restricted Drivers message...
[03:58] <Hammerjak> bjorkintosh: no
[03:58] <bjorkintosh> a work around?
[03:58] <ardchoille> bjorkintosh: There's a netflix module for mythtv but that's the only one I know of
[03:59] <bjorkintosh> ah
[03:59] <DasEi> Johnn: an xorg should be there already, can try if catalyst-center (synaptic) runs on that , else that might be a problem on that btw I'm overasked
[03:59] <fonebone> errr
[03:59] <Hammerjak> last i heard, you won't be able to get netflix to work until moonlight (open source version of silverlight) hits 2.0
[03:59] <ardchoille> bjorkintosh: workaround? Use prism and make an app window for it
[03:59] <fonebone> just tried to install a dual boot xp/ubuntu on my netbook.. when i rebooted it started running memtest
[03:59] <fonebone> haha
[03:59] <jceggbert5> lol, "MoonLight"
[04:00] <fonebone> i wonder what went wrong
[04:00] <bjorkintosh> ah. sounds like there's work to be done yet on it.
[04:00] <fonebone> well that sucks... guess this install is fried
[04:00] <chris231989> fonebone, sounds like your defaut has changed to memtest
[04:01] <ardchoille> !prism | bjorkintosh
[04:01] <fonebone> i dont even know where memtest came from
[04:01] <ardchoille> !info prism | bjorkintosh
[04:01] <zcat[1]> an install with no kernels?? that would leave only memtest as the default
[04:01] <DasEi> Johnn: fglrx-amdcccle
[04:01] <chris231989> fonebone, its usually a grub menu item
[04:01] <fonebone> ahh
[04:02] <fonebone> wonder what i can do to fix it
[04:02] <bjorkintosh> interesting.
[04:02] <chris231989> look at your grub menu
[04:02] <fonebone> how can i do that during initial startup?
[04:02] <zcat[1]> there's a way to boot from the live CD or USB kernel with your existing root, and you can then add a kernel through the normal package management
[04:03] <zcat[1]> I've had to do it once or twice..
[04:03] <chris231989> or just reboot and look at the mnu, might haveto hit esc
[04:03] <zcat[1]> but not recently so I can't remember the details
[04:03] <Johnn> thanks, I'm getting fglrx from synaptic now. The problem I was having was no xorg in place, and directly editing that was how the help pages recommended configing a dual view
[04:04] <zcat[1]> If you've only changed the default entry, there may still be a working kernel that just isn't the default option any more.
[04:04] <fonebone> is there a key to hit when grub loads to stop it and look at the config or boot options?
[04:04] <chris231989> eascape
[04:04] <chris231989> -a
[04:05] <fonebone> hrmmm... i tried that.. just goes straight into the memtest... its very fast
[04:05] <fonebone> heh
[04:05] <chris231989> i relized i have no idea with grub2
[04:05] <chris231989> !grub2
[04:05] <dtownhero> how can I shrink the icons in the main menu?
[04:05] <System-7> While trying to reinstall GRUB I get a message about "blocklists". I'll try a full reinstall first though before messing with that
[04:06] <earthling> hi .. is there any good source , how to for Linux virtual server
[04:06] <fonebone> think ifound somethin
[04:07] <Johnn> what does it mean when I enter code and am returned to a new prompt line with no feedback
[04:07] <epinky> !kvm | earthling
[04:08] <DasEi> Johnn: possibly fulfilled or forgot sudo
[04:08] <lstarnes> Johnn: it usually means that it worked, but that depends on what the command was
[04:08] <genii> Johnn: That the command successfully completed
[04:08] <earthling> epinky : thanks
[04:09] <fonebone> yipes.. im lost now... im in grub but no idea what to do.. think ill just wipe and reload
[04:09] <fonebone> haha
[04:09] <Johnn> but it was supposed to overwrite my old xorg and it hasn't. Should I reset x before trying to configure my new driver?
[04:09] <aceror> Wenas
[04:10] <earthling> fonebone :
[04:10] <fonebone> you just hold down shift to access the grub 2 menu btw
[04:10] <dtownhero> anybody know if you can shrink the icons in your main menu?
[04:10] <dtownhero> or get rid of them entirely
[04:10] <Johnn> you can remove by sys>pref>main menu
[04:11] <dtownhero> well I need to be able to see the stuff
[04:11] <dtownhero> I just want the menu to more proportionately look like the rest of my bars
[04:12] <dtownhero> the big old icons make the text large
[04:12] <datz> Hi, I want to update my packages via the command line. How can I do this?
[04:12] <dtownhero> datz: sudo apt-get update
[04:12] <dtownhero> datz: followed by sudo apt-get upgrade install
[04:13] <datz> dtownhero: thanks, how do I know if the system needs to be restarted?
[04:13] <ardchoille> datz: You usually won't need to reboot unless you've done something with the kernel
[04:13] <dtownhero> datz: only really need to reboot if you installed kernal packages
[04:14] <dtownhero> datz: it only warns you to reboot if you're using the update manager... also if you login to the system remotely via ssh
[04:14] <datz> yea, I know, but it seems everytime I update, about every two weeks, a restart is required
[04:14] <t0rc> How would I search all the files in a directory for a line of code?
[04:14] <mildred> I am looking for some assistance to find the gnome repository.  I just installed mythbuntu, it uses xfce as the desktop.  I want to install gnome but not all of the dependencies are available in the repository list.  What repository do I need to add to get all the depenedncies so that I can install gnome?
[04:15] <dtownhero> datz: linus has been on a tear with kernal updates lately
[04:15] <datz> dtownhero: I'm on 8.04 now btw
[04:15] <dtownhero> datz: I think mostly due to the ext4 filesystem and some timing things
[04:15] <dtownhero> you're still probably using a fairly newer kernal
[04:15] <alankila> actually, it's kernel, dbus, probably glibc these days that prompt updates... but still, most of the time you can just ignore the restart requests.
[04:16] <alankila> hmm... prompt reboots I mean
[04:16] <MyGame> Hello
[04:16] <dtownhero> I still don't know why linux people think reboots kill baby seals... you can reboot whenever your system is ready for a reboot
[04:17] <alankila> there's all sorts of userland crap nowadays which can't be restarted without tearing too much stuff down.
[04:17] <StyleZed> hi!
[04:17] <StyleZed>  i'm having issues connecting to a windows sbs 2008 machine using vpn configured using network-manager
[04:17] <StyleZed>  my windows 7 install connects to the vpn flawlessly... however, ubuntu karmic koala drops the connection no matter HOW i configure it. Anyone got any tips? It is MOST frustrating not to be able to connect to the vpn under ubuntu seeing as i spend most of my time in linux.. pain in the ass to have to reboot into windows just to mount the shared drives over the vpn.
[04:17] <alankila> probably because it reminds people of windows
[04:17] <cfedde> dtownhero: it's just that some oses are ready more often than linux
[04:17] <MyGame> Hello
[04:17] <MyGame> all.....
[04:17] <datz> dtownhero: I only have access via ssh now, and I need to restart a bunch of stuff
[04:17] <dtownhero> datz: init 6 baby :s
[04:18] <dtownhero> or go kill stuff in init.d
[04:18] <datz> 6 eh
[04:18] <System-7> GAH it still won't boot
[04:18] <dtownhero> datz: do sudo reboot
[04:18] <System-7> It flashes a cursor then goes blank
[04:18] <datz> dtownhero: ok, thanks
[04:18] <dtownhero> datz: open another term and ping the host you needed and when it comes back up you can ssh back in
[04:18] <alankila> anyway, people have come up with a realtime kernel patching feature, maybe reboots due to kernel updates get fewer.
[04:19] <System-7> The Live CD works fine, why won't the install BOOT!
[04:19] <datz> dtownhero: ok... guess I'll do that, thanks.
[04:20] <System-7> anyone know what could cause it not to boot where the LiveCD will?
[04:20] <StyleZed> has anyone experienced issues connecting to a pptp (windows server) vpn using ubuntu and gnome network manager?
[04:20] <datz> dtownhero: oh, yea..there's no indication of wheather a reboot is needed, right?
[04:20] <Billiard> System-7: did you install the boot loader?
[04:20] <StyleZed> System-7 installed grub?
[04:20] <System-7> yeah
[04:20] <dtownhero> datz: not really, you should not have to if it's just a server you ssh into
[04:20] <System-7> I get GRUB, but after GRUB it hangs
[04:20] <mildred> I am looking for some assistance to find the gnome repository.  I just installed mythbuntu, it uses xfce as the desktop.  I want to install gnome but not all of the dependencies are available in the repository list.  What repository do I need to add to get all the depenedncies so that I can install gnome?  Can anone hlp m withthis?
[04:20] <dtownhero> datz: I may restart my server once a month
[04:21] <System-7> I'm not sure if it ignoring the noacpi command
[04:21] <datz> dtownhero: it's probably been about that, expect for the mysterious restart that occured earlier today..which is part of the reason I want to update. :)
[04:21] <StyleZed> mildred: www.gnomefiles.org - check there
[04:21] <System-7> I need to turn off ACPI, but I can't tell if noacpi is actually working
[04:21] <dtownhero> datz: would it hurt to reboot it?
[04:22] <dtownhero> datz: are you knocking the local churches website offline?
[04:22] <System-7> I just add it anywhere in the GRUB command right?
[04:22] <dtownhero> datz: if not, do it. be brave.
[04:22] <StyleZed> so... im taking it noone connects to a windows vpn using ubuntu then?
[04:22] <carlosleon> Hi.
[04:22] <StyleZed> :/
[04:22] <dtownhero> StyleZed: I do
[04:22] <datz> dtownhero: lol..nope, just checking, if there was indication of needed reboot, since ther isn't, goting to now
[04:22] <StyleZed> dtownhero how did you config your vpn please mate?
[04:22] <dtownhero> StyleZed: rather a juniper VPN
[04:23] <dtownhero> StyleZed: have you tried ShrewSoft?
[04:23] <StyleZed> no matter what i do in ubuntu connection fails...
[04:23] <System-7> Does GRUB 2 use the same commands?
[04:23] <StyleZed> no what is shrewsoft?
[04:23] <vinpan> ok why cant i upload pictures to myspace or facebook?
[04:23] <dtownhero> Free VPN Client - I use it to connect to work VPNs
[04:23] <carlosleon> I've just installed Ubuntu Server but it seems like it doesn't have installed pppoeconf app for configuring such kind of connections.
[04:23] <dtownhero> in your package manager
[04:23] <StyleZed> oh ok i'll take a look at it.
[04:23] <StyleZed> thanks
[04:23] <dtownhero> !shrewsoft | StyleZed
[04:24] <dtownhero> let's see if that works
[04:24] <dtownhero> guess not
[04:24] <StyleZed> nop
[04:24] <StyleZed> heh
[04:24] <StyleZed> no worries... im checking it out now
[04:24] <marks256> i run the followning command on a client computer, but it will not work: rsync -aze ssh /home/dusty/pics/ dustyrsync@<IP_ADDRESS>::dustyrsync
[04:24] <dtownhero> kk gl
[04:24] <System-7> the stuff pictured here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common%20Boot%20Options looks different from the GRUB I have
[04:24] <marks256> but it works if i use a direct path instead of a module
[04:24] <marks256> what would the problem be?
[04:25] <vinpan> anyone know why i cant upload pics to myspace or facebook?
[04:25] <marks256> here is the error i get
[04:25] <marks256> rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
[04:25] <marks256> rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.5]
[04:25] <StyleZed> btw guys chrome beta is out for linux
[04:25] <dtownhero> StyleZed: FYI it takes work with your net admins to get the correct settings
[04:25] <fonebone> oh yay.. was able to recover the windows partition
[04:25] <System-7> wth it worked i think
[04:25] <StyleZed> dtownhero, ok
[04:25] <System-7> Now I got a logo
[04:26] <System-7> wtf did I do?
[04:26] <rahduke> ok imagine you had a folder with 30 or so folders inside of it, each folder had 1 file in it and you needed to take every file from every folder and put them somewhere..... also assume you are lazy and dont want to move each file individually. How would you do that?
[04:26] <System-7> damn I got it to work but I don't know how lol
[04:26] <System-7> yay
[04:26] <mildred> StyleZed: When I try to install gnome from the synaptic package manager, it informs me that I have missing dependencies.  That leads me to believe that I could resolve this problem if I had the proper repositories configured.  I am looking for the repos but I cant find them.
[04:26] <System-7> hopefully I can do it again
[04:26] <StyleZed> mildred the url i gave you should have the repositories
[04:27] <aceror> System-7, looks the logs file
[04:27] <rahduke> any idea....anyone?
[04:27] <System-7> ugh, I forget I haven't used Ubuntu in a while, how do I config X to a custom resolution?

[04:27] <aceror> rahduke, cp -R orig destin
[04:28] <]pablo[> System-7:  you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[04:28] <XStatik> How do i set a service to run on boot through the term
[04:28] <Billiard> XStatik: you can use update-rc.d
[04:28] <System-7> thanks
[04:29] <XStatik> Whats the init.d way to do
[04:29] <XStatik> it
[04:29] <aceror> rahduke, mv -R /folder/ORIGINAL/* /FOLDER/DESTINO

[04:31] <kunji> Hey everyone, I'm having problems that I believe are Samba related... I installed and uninstalled a bunch of samba and cups stuff and now I'm not really sure what is going on.  Originally I was trying to access a printer on a windows 7 machine over the network.  Now I can't get into smb:///MSHOME or WORKGROUP if those are even what they're supposed to be.  Also for adding printers there is no longer an smb option, I am running Ubunt
[04:31] <Billiard> rahduke: mv doesnt have an option -R

[04:31] <crabgrass> hi. i'm trying to dump one frame every 5 minutes of a movie with the following command: mplayer -vo jpeg -vf framestep=7500 -dumpstream -nosound "video.avi"
[04:31] <crabgrass> my problem is that mplayer is playing the movie in real time (which is gonna take about an hour to complete) and adding -dumpstream doesn't work
[04:31] <crabgrass> suggestions?
[04:32] <Billiard> rahduke: copies directories recursively in the cp command
[04:32] <aceror> rahduke, use mc
[04:32] <aceror> rahduke, apt-get install mc
[04:32] <aceror> then
[04:32] <]pablo[> System-7: try   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:32] <crabgrass> or cp && rm
[04:32] <aceror> type mc
[04:32] <]pablo[> System-7: if it doesn't work, you need to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf and specify the resolution modes you want
[04:32] <rahduke> k whats mc?
[04:32] <aceror> the best option to work in command line
[04:33] <]pablo[> System-7: you can find tons of info about this in google "xorg resolution" or something
[04:33] <vinpan> anyone have the same problem as i do with uploading pics to facebook or myspace?
[04:33] <Billiard> aceror: why does he need mc?
[04:33] <crabgrass> vinpan: what's the problem?
[04:33] <System-7> thanks ]pablo[ , time to get crackin. Im so glad I finally got it to boot though :)
[04:33] <hyperstream> hey guys, has anyone heard of an issue where if i plug in another monitor into my laptop and try to activate it just goes to, to black screens with a cursor that is functioning ?
[04:33] <crabgrass> vinpan: for facebook, you need to click on "use the old uploader" near the bottom, or something like that
[04:33] <aceror> Billiard, to make is life better
[04:33] <hyperstream> !dualmonitor
[04:33] <vinpan> when i try to upload pics they dont show

[04:36] <rahduke> aceror: ohhh mayb not
[04:36] <Billiard> lordganesh: "which command"

[04:54] <fxfitz> Can anyone help?
[04:55] <DerKlempner> fxfritz: Clean your keyboard?
[04:55] <DNS777> heh yup sounds a bit like that
[04:55] <INagge> Wts up ppl
[04:55] <Anastasius> They're dishwashable.
[04:55] <fxfitz> DerKlempner, It's not that sort of problem. It only happens in Karmic, not Windows or anything.
[04:55] <hsmak> @DerKlempner nice solution
[04:55] <INagge> Hey yall
[04:55] <DerKlempner> fxfritz: Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[04:56] <fxfitz> DerKlempner, Ubuntu
[04:57] <duryodhan_> hi! I need help .. my ubuntu refuses to boot
[04:57] <DerKlempner> fxfritz: Go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Accessibility and check to see if sticky keys are enabled.
[04:57] <Billiard> duryodhan_: refuses?
[04:57] <DNS777> use power off button if you cant reboot ot shutdown
[04:57] <DNS777> :p
[04:57] <dassouki> all my javabased apps .. have lost their menus (file / edit ...)
[04:58] <Anastasius> dassouki:  Wait for the next release.  It'll be fixed then.
[04:58] <DNS777> ot=or
[04:58] <fxfitz> DerKlempner, They are disabled.
[04:58] <duryodhan_> Billiard: it just shows a blank screen
[04:58] <duryodhan_> Billiard: I tried single user mode too .. that failed too
[04:58] <hsmak> @dassouki give me an example of a jave-based app having this prob?
[04:59] <DerKlempner> fxfritz: This may sound stupid, but I assume you've tried rebooting?
[04:59] <fxfitz> DerKlempner, Yup. And restarting the X-session. :(
[05:00] <DerKlempner> fxfritz: USB mouse and PS/2 keyboard?
[05:00] <fxfitz> DerKlempner, Laptop.
[05:01] <DerKlempner> fxfritz: Do you know what ACPI is? Is it enabled or disabled on bootup?
[05:01] <DNS777> duryodhan_: can you open console with Alt+Ctl+F1 at the blank screen?
[05:02] <fxfitz> DerKlempner, Hmm... I know it has something to do with power, but thats all I know. I have to check Bios right? :(
[05:02] <duryodhan_> DNS777: no
[05:03] <DerKlempner> fxfritz: No, it's a module.  You may need to disable it in GRUB, check this link for instructions: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=290554
[05:03] <dassouki> Anastasius: what the hell ? When someoen is using something for work it should work or should be an update
[05:04] <hsmak> dassouki give me an example of a jave-based app having this prob?
[05:05] <hsmak> dassouki i faced this prob in openoffice some time ago
[05:05] <mildred> jtaji: that worked, thanks!
[05:05] <Anastasius> dassouki:  Sorry, Karmic isn't an LTS.  I'm sure all of that will be fixed with Lucid Lynx, though.
[05:05] <jtaji> mildred: enjoy
[05:06] <DNS777> duryodhan_: do you have an ubuntu cd, i think so... put this in your pc and reboot, choose in bios to reboot from cd. then choose after cd has booted this: Recover a broken system
[05:07] <duryodhan_> DNS777: ok .. let me restart

[05:07] <Capt_Blackwood> what app will let me burn an ISO that is larger than 4gb to a dual-layer dvd, i have the hardware?
[05:07] <mrpwnage> it's what happens
[05:08] <kunji> bump
[05:08] <elky> mrpwnage, enough of that.
[05:08] <Jeruvy> !language | mrpwnage
[05:08]  * mrpwnage okay
[05:08] <kunji> ?
[05:08] <Pseudomocha> rofl
[05:08] <Capt_Blackwood> what app will let me burn an ISO that is larger than 4gb to a dual-layer dvd, i have the hardware?
[05:09] <mrpwnage> elky: how do I get to init 1 from boot?
[05:09] <DerKlempner> Capt_Blackwood: Brasero and K3B both support that, I believe.
[05:09] <elky> mrpwnage, why on earth would you want to?
[05:10] <mrpwnage> elky, to be in control of my own OS/computer.
[05:10] <Capt_Blackwood> now IS there a certain brand of Dual Layer DVD+Rs i need to get, or will just any do
[05:10] <khole> you can extract iso and write it
[05:11] <elky> mrpwnage, it's not something i recommend doing. we have sudo for the purposes of having the root user do things.
[05:12] <mrpwnage> heh
[05:12] <mrpwnage> i'd rather know
[05:12] <jtaji> Capt_Blackwood: you can see what your drive manufacturer recommends
[05:12] <DerKlempner> Capt_Blackwood: Are you sure you have a drive that will burn dual-layer discs?
[05:13] <Geoffrey2> anyone know of any problems if I tried to install the BOINC version from Lucid on Karmic?
[05:13] <Capt_Blackwood> DerKelpmner, i do have a drive that can burn Dual-Layer Discs
[05:13] <mrpwnage> elky: ?
[05:13] <mrpwnage> elky: do you know?
[05:14] <Capt_Blackwood> but the software that came with it... Nero Essentails 7...is for windows
[05:14] <elky> mrpwnage, i know, but i am not going to recommend it.
[05:14] <DerKlempner> Capt_Blackwood: From everything I've ever read about burning dual-layer discs, there seems to be more people that have success with DVD+R than DVD-R, but there's success for both.  You may want to experiment with different types of discs.
[05:14] <Jeruvy> Capt_Blackwood: I never had good luck with +R's I always use -R's
[05:15] <mrpwnage> elky: fine, don't . how do you do it
[05:15] <mrpwnage> ?
[05:15] <mrpwnage> i don't give a dam whether you recommecd it
[05:15] <Capt_Blackwood> That's the thing...the images i'm downloading are too big for standard DVD+R...
[05:15] <System-7> man, it feels so good to be on Ubuntu again!
[05:15] <Akhenaton> sudo apt-get remove mono-common libmono0
[05:15] <System-7> I missed it
[05:15] <Capt_Blackwood> My drive seems to have no problems with DVD+Rs or -Rs
[05:15] <Akhenaton> stop the reptilians
[05:15] <ssmy> lirc doesn't seem to recognize my remote, even though it is well-known to work wuite well. anyone have any experience with remotes?
[05:15] <Akhenaton> opensuse's lizard, guess what? reptilian
[05:16] <System-7> Plus a little tweaking to get rid of the nasty Karmic look and voila!
[05:16] <Jeruvy> Capt_Blackwood: sorry I was talking about DL's, normal dvd's I've never had issues with either type.
[05:16] <System-7> :)
[05:16] <DerKlempner> Capt_Blackwood: I meant dual-layer +R and -R, not just single-layer.
[05:16] <System-7> Seriously, the brown sucks
[05:16] <devanjan> I have  ubuntu 9.10  in my laptop. After installing the latest updates, it is not booting up..
[05:16] <ssmy> System-7: fortunately, nothing is making you keep it.
[05:16] <System-7> Anyone have a copy of the old Hardy wallpaper sans the Heron?
[05:16] <devanjan> I have an encrypted version of 9.10 installed
[05:17] <Capt_Blackwood>   Features: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD+DL, DVDRAM
[05:17] <FireCrotch> mrpwnage: A lot of essential stuff won't be running if you boot into init 1 - it's mainly meant for rescuing your system
[05:17] <dassouki> hsmak: eclipse for example
[05:17] <DerKlempner> Capt_Blackwood:  What disc burning program are you trying to use?
[05:17] <feuplive> hi
[05:17] <System-7> It was included with hardy
[05:17] <Jeruvy> System-7: you should still be able to get it, check google images.
[05:17] <Capt_Blackwood> I would perfer Nero
[05:17] <System-7> I can only find the Heron one
[05:17] <Nperil> im setting up ubuntu on my pc and have no net and need to get vlc, where can i find vlc for ubuntu?
[05:17] <feuplive> anyore here skilled with the GTK+ library??
[05:17] <Akhenaton> the reptilians removed vlc
[05:17] <DerKlempner> Capt_Blackwood:  I dunno if Nero works well under wine, so try Brasero (or K3B if you're using Kubuntu).
[05:18] <Billiard> feuplive: just ask your question
[05:18] <System-7> You can use K3B under Ubuntu too
[05:18] <DNS777> Nperil: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
[05:18] <feuplive> im just confused about the signals
[05:18] <feuplive> makin callbacks :/

[05:18] <Nperil> thanks dns777 ill give it a shot
[05:19] <hsmak> dassouki: very strange! i remember facing such a prob with openoffice and the prob was the jre wasn't properly installed
[05:19] <System-7> aw man, how I have missed being able to install things via a terminal
[05:19] <feuplive> is there any programming channel btw?
[05:19] <System-7> and it works like a charm on my macbook
[05:19] <Akhenaton> feplive #ubuntu-reptilian
[05:19]  * System-7 is so happy
[05:19] <demonspork> feuplive, depends on what language, there is one for each it seams like
[05:20] <feuplive> well C
[05:20] <mrpwnage> i don't care the repercussions.  I'd like to know how to get to init 1 from boot.
[05:20] <No_Existe> hi gringos
[05:20] <lwb> hello everyone
[05:21] <devanjan> hello, can anybody guide me how to recover from filesystem error? Yesterday< i installed fresh updates and after that my system is not booting up...
[05:21] <FireCrotch> mrpwnage: in your inittab file, set the default runlevel to 1
[05:21] <feuplive> so, is there any C channel?
[05:21] <chris231989> hi
[05:21] <lwb> Very glad to be here
[05:21] <geirha> feuplive: ##c
[05:21] <mrpwnage> FireCrotch: i want to do it on the boot line
[05:22] <hsmak> dassouki: wt jvm version do u use? under wt Ubuntu release?
[05:22] <lwb> where are you from?
[05:22] <mrpwnage> FireCrotch: like init = 1
[05:22] <feuplive> thx !!!!
[05:22] <feuplive> cya
[05:22] <FireCrotch> mrpwnage: the argument is "single"
[05:22] <DerKlempner> mrpwnage: In GRUB?
[05:22] <Akhenaton> mrpwnage: init reptilian
[05:22] <mrpwnage> DerKlempner: yes
[05:22] <mrpwnage> Akhenaton: thanks for not helping
[05:23] <dassouki> hsmak: java version "1.6.0_0"
[05:23] <dassouki> OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6.1) (6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1)
[05:23] <mrpwnage> is he the local guy that does that often?
[05:23] <dassouki> OpenJDK Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
[05:23] <mrpwnage> DerKlempner: thanks for answering.
[05:23] <DerKlempner> mrpwnage: Just add the runlevel number (in your case, 1) to the end of the "/boot..." line.
[05:23] <Nperil> about the vlc is there a way to get a patch for the video player while im on windows and transfer it to my pc with ubuntu. i know it sounds stupid but its what i gotta deal with
[05:24] <DerKlempner> mrpwnage:  See here for an example: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=271800
[05:24] <Akhenaton> not while reptilians keep upgrading xorg
[05:24] <elky> mrpwnage, judging by the lilo config you showed earlier, you're not even using ubuntu.
[05:24] <DerKlempner> mrpwnage:  You're using LILO, not GRUB?
[05:24] <Akhenaton> grub2
[05:24] <mrpwnage> grub here
[05:24] <elky> DerKlempner, he's using slackware.
[05:24] <Akhenaton> cuase its gnu slash free
[05:25] <Orion777> anyone know how to script stuff to close on startup?
[05:25] <mrpwnage> i used lilo to show pawnsuace that she never had a chance.
[05:25] <Satzo> Orion777, please elaborate
[05:25] <DerKlempner> mrpwnage:  You can find an answer to that by Googling "change runlevel grub linux".
[05:25] <Orion777> well I have apps that load on startup but then I don't need them open on the screen anymore
[05:25] <DerKlempner> mrpwnage:  But the link I shared earlier has the answer.
[05:25] <mrpwnage> DerKlempner: thx
[05:25] <Orion777> when I close them they close to system tray icons which is where I need them
[05:25] <DNS777> Nperil: ....hmm i dont know of atm. the only idea i have is to use maybe a virtual box put a linux in there and get it with apt from there heh
[05:26] <Satzo> Orion777, a kill command in a script would do the trick
[05:26] <xous> how would I downgrade a kernel on ubuntu?
[05:26] <mrpwnage> lwait
[05:26] <Orion777> so at the end of the autostart file I say kill appname?
[05:26] <Satzo> Orion777, oh....
[05:26] <Satzo> so you dont want the app closed, just the app minimized to the tray?
[05:26] <mrpwnage> ty DerKlempner
[05:26] <DerKlempner> mrpwnage: No worries.
[05:26] <geirha> Nperil: You can use a package download script
[05:27] <Orion777> yes, but when I click the x it does go to tray in little icons
[05:27] <geirha> Nperil: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Synaptic/PackageDownloadScript
[05:27] <Orion777> so I'm trying to script it
[05:27] <Orion777> in autostart file
[05:27] <hsmak> dassouki: ok i suggest u remove the OpenJDK and install the sun-java-SDK and c wt happens
[05:27] <Satzo> Orion777, if the app doesnt have the option in their preferences ive no idea :/

[05:29] <kunji> Hey everyone, I'm having problems that I believe are Samba related... I installed and uninstalled a bunch of samba and cups stuff and now I'm not really sure what is going on.  Originally I was trying to access a printer on a windows 7 machine over the network.  Now I can't get into smb:///MSHOME or WORKGROUP if those are even what they're supposed to be.  Also for adding printers there is no longer an smb option, I am running Ubunt
[05:29] <ownlife> Hello!

[05:29] <Capt_Blackwood> next question: Does DVD+R DL = DVD+DL ?
[05:29] <hsmak> dassouki: then u have to play with $JAVA_HOME variable

[05:30] <Capt_Blackwood> DerKlempner, are you sure? I don't want to make any mistakes :D
[05:30] <hsmak> dassouki: just remove the OpenJDK and install the Sun-Java-JDK

[05:33] <Fohn> I have a new monitor whose resolution is 1920x1080, as opposed to my old one's res of 1024x768 or whatever. The GDM login screen displays everything at the new monitor's resolution that I have put into xorg.conf, however once I log in my resolution reverts to its previous settings and I have to manually change it using either amdcccle or xrandr. Neither of these changes remain persistent. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

[05:35] <genii> Bullma99: If it's the 3rd CD/DVD then scd2 would be the designation. If it's the first, use scd0, if the second, try scd1

[05:35] <Phuzion96> Hello trying to get help installing flash player for 8.10... after downloading the app from adobe I #sudo dpkg -i install(file name) and I get error cannot access archive: no such file or directory
[05:36] <genii> Akhenaton: You're being disruptive and annoying users again. If it persists you will be booted. Please take note.
[05:36] <crankharder> the Xen wiki suggests installing it by apt -- how does taht work though?  does it somehow blow away the existing OS in order to install the hypervisor?
[05:36] <geirha> ownlife: Put the ubuntu iso on a thumb drive, boot it, then run System -> Administration -> System testing. It will test all hardware.
[05:36] <DerKlempner> ownlife:  Listen to Satzo, he speaks the truth.
[05:36] <Bullma99> 1rst cd-rw, 2nd DVD-rw.
[05:36] <Satzo> Phuzion96, the laziest way ive gotten flash to install: goto youtube, click on a video. it will point you to adobe website, follow directions
[05:36] <Phuzion96> Satzo I was on adobe.... it wasn't very helpful
[05:36] <geirha> !usb > ownlife
[05:37] <Satzo> Phuzion96, did you download the .deb file?
[05:37] <Sierradump> How do I find a USB drive from the terminal?
[05:37] <Sierradump> I have some files I need to copy to my home folder from USB drive.
[05:37] <ownlife> Thanks for the help
[05:37] <Phuzion96> Satzo yes I did... and I ran the prompts as it told me
[05:37] <Flannel> Sierradump: Check in /media/
[05:37] <genii> Sierradump: sudo fdisk -l    will tell you what drives are attached
[05:37] <Sierradump> I looked in /media but all I see is cdrom and cdrom0
[05:37] <Sierradump> running fdisk -l
[05:37] <Akhenaton> genii - you're just saying that because im black
[05:37] <Bullma99> Disk utility Palimpsest shows CD drive- no medial detected and Pioneer DVD-RW same..no media detected
[05:37] <Satzo> Phuzion96, and it installed correct?  after that, close your browser and try a flash site(youtube)
[05:37] <Sierradump> thanks.
[05:37] <Satzo> if that fails, logout and log back in
[05:38] <b0nn> hrm, Im having an upgrade issue, it started out with a refusal to complete due to dependency issues, so I rebooted, and now I cannot mount anything. What do I do?
[05:38] <Sierradump> ?
[05:38] <Phuzion96> Satzo done all that already :-) that's why I'm back here haha
[05:38] <Sierradump> fdisk -l didn't show anything?
[05:38] <Satzo> Phuzion96, sec....
[05:38] <Sierradump> genii: that is an "L" correct?
[05:38] <genii> Akhenaton: Hard to tell on the internet.
[05:38] <legend2440> Sierradump: try  sudo fdisk -l
[05:38] <DerKlempner> Sierradump: Try "sudo fdisk -l".
[05:39] <genii> Sierradump: Yes, lowercase L

[05:39] <anandrm> hi i m try to load the awesome window manger
[05:40] <anandrm> have anyone tried the awesome window manager on Ubuntu 9.04
[05:40] <Sierradump> fdisk -l shows me "sdb1, sdb2, sdb3, and sdb4"  what exactly does that mean?  The system has 4 drives? or 4 partitions?
[05:40] <Alan502_> Hey :) i have already configured my 3g modem correctly on kubuntu's network manager but i cannot select it. I click and click on it but i cannot get kubuntu to connect to it. What could it be?
[05:40] <geirha> Sierradump: sdb is a drive, sdb<number> is a partition on that drive
[05:40] <DerKlempner> Sierradump: That means that your second hard disk has four partitions.
[05:41] <bokchoi> hi, i'm wondering why i would get an error binding to port 113? says addr already in use?
[05:41] <Sierradump> weird?  I only have 1 physical drive (hardrive) and a cdrom and usb stick.
[05:41] <Sierradump> Is there a "lspci" command to find the USB drive?
[05:41] <Satzo> Sierradump, lsubs
[05:41] <b0nn> lsusb
[05:41] <Sierradump> *lspci TYPE command.
[05:41] <Satzo> lsusb
[05:41] <DerKlempner> Sierradump: It's "lsusb".
[05:41] <Sierradump> ahhh. sweet.
[05:41] <Sierradump> thanks.
[05:41] <Phuzion96> Satzo I have no way of deciphering exactly what that did... but by the looks of it something doesn't seem to be right w/ this
[05:41] <dassouki> hsmak: http://pastie.org/734945
[05:42] <dassouki> geirha: /\
[05:42] <Phuzion96> satzo however I know something isn't right cause anywhere flash is required I just get the play triangle
[05:42] <Satzo> Phuzion96, you running firefox?
[05:42] <bokchoi> is there an ident daemon that runs automatically? or, if i enabled one in synaptic would it have started next reboot? cause i was hunting for one a while back and might have done that...
[05:42] <geirha> dassouki: update-alternatives --config java and update-java-alternatives are not the same
[05:42] <b0nn> is anyone capapble of helping with an upgrade issue?
[05:43] <Sierradump> ok.  lsusb found the device? But how do I access it :(  Is it safe to assume that if I have an sdb1-4 that I probably have an sda?
[05:43] <Phuzion96> Satzo yes
[05:43] <Satzo> Phuzion96, try and either create a new firefox profile, or rename your old one and let firefox create a new one.  try the flash install as i suggested earlier
[05:43] <Satzo> this will cross-test if your firefox profile is fuggered..
[05:43] <bokchoi> ok actually i just checked synaptic and ident2 is the only daemon i have installed. when i try to run it, it says port already in use. can anyone help?
[05:43] <Sierradump> how do I browse "sdb1" etc...
[05:43] <geirha> dassouki: the former will only set a symlink for the java binary. The latter will set symlinks for everything related to that java-version. Like javac, java plugin etc
[05:44] <Sierradump> cd /sdb1 didn't work?
[05:44] <Satzo> Sierradump, /dev/sdb1
[05:44] <Sierradump> ahh /dev/ first.  Thanks.
[05:44] <jtaji> Sierradump: it has to be mounted first, type mount to see if it's already mounted somewhere
[05:44]  * Satzo never accesses USB drives that way... Satzo is guessing.
[05:44] <Phuzion96> Satzo create a new firefox profile?  I'm still a bit of a newb to Linux
[05:44] <geirha> Sierradump: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt; cd /mnt; ls
[05:44] <Satzo> Phuzion96, ...sec
[05:44] <geirha> Sierradump: sudo umount /mnt    when you're done
[05:45] <Satzo> Phuzion96, you can do this in windows or mac too..   ---->  http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles
[05:45] <bokchoi> how do i see what is running on port 113?
[05:46] <Orion777> is there a command line option to close something(not kill though)
[05:46] <Sierradump> Got it!  Thanks to all  for your help.
[05:46] <DerKlempner> bokchoi: Port 113 is used for ident services.
[05:47] <Sierradump> weird that my USB stick has 4 partitions?
[05:47] <dassouki> geirha: I'm still confused
[05:48] <xtjacob> just a random question, I have an old computer and when ever I try to install ubuntu on it, I get a grub error saying something like cannot find UUID xxxxx... I've installed other versions of linux perfectly. I read on the ubuntu forums that this might be the hard drive. So could it be my hard drive, or just bad luck on my partitioning?
[05:48] <bokchoi> DerKlempner: i know this. but im trying to run an ident daemon called ident2 and it says the port is already in use. i've tried 'ps aux | grep ident' and nothing shows up. how can i find out what's running and using that port?
[05:49] <geirha> Sierradump: One usually only has one, but it's quite possible to have more partitions. Are you sure sdb is your thumb drive? Check the size of /dev/sdb in "sudo fdisk -l" output
[05:49] <anandrm> hi can someone help me in configuring Awesome WM
[05:49] <geirha> dassouki: About what?
[05:50] <anandrm> Awesome Window Manager
[05:50] <ZykoticK9> anandrm, are you talking about "AWN" Avant Window Navigator?
[05:50] <Bullma99> still cannot figure why 9.10 cannot mount dvd-drive. fstab shows /dev/scd2       /media/cdrom3
[05:50] <DerKlempner> bokchoi: To be honest, i don't know the name of Ubuntu's ident server, have you tried Googling it?
[05:50] <anandrm> no - Its called Awesome window Manager
[05:51] <bokchoi> DerKlempner: no, good idea though
[05:51] <anandrm> http://awesome.naquadah.org/
[05:51] <dassouki> geirha: although i set sunjava to be default it's set as manual but openjdk is set to auto
[05:51] <geirha> bokchoi: sudo netstat -nlp | grep :113
[05:52] <bokchoi> geirha: it says inetd.
[05:52] <geirha> dassouki: Did you use update-java-alternatives or update-alternatives?
[05:52] <prem_> hi ..i created a lenny usb install image using unetbootin..but the installtion step fails with "cannot mount cdrom"
[05:52] <geirha> bokchoi: Then it's already running ...
[05:52] <DerKlempner> bokchoi: There's your answer.
[05:52] <prem_> i used the lenny iso image
[05:52] <bokchoi> thank you both. i will see about configging inetd.
[05:53] <prem_> will unetboot in works with debian isos?
[05:54] <hsmak> dassouki: did it work with u?
[05:54] <prem_> hello..
[05:55] <xtjacob> just a random question, I have an old computer and when ever I try to install ubuntu on it, I get a grub error saying something like cannot find UUID xxxxx... I've installed other versions of linux perfectly. I read on the ubuntu forums that this might be the hard drive. So could it be my hard drive, or just bad luck on my partitioning?
[05:55] <dassouki> geirha: i just did update-alternatives
[05:55] <DerKlempner> prem_: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[05:55] <khensthoth> prem_: Presumably so. It does list it in the website.
[05:55] <dassouki> hsmak: no i think it's gonna go through trial and error
[05:55] <geirha> dassouki: Then try with update-java-alternatives
[05:56] <centHOGG> xtjacob: which ubuntu
[05:56] <xtjacob> 9.10
[05:56] <zerq> anyone else getting visual C errors from wow in WINE after updating to 3.3? :/
[05:56] <xtjacob> tried with xubuntu 9.10 RC too
[05:56] <centHOGG> xtjacob: tried an earlier version?
[05:56] <zerq> looks like it's not just a WINE issue from the wow forums..
[05:56] <centHOGG> LTS
[05:56] <xtjacob> i used to have 9.04
[05:56] <Orion777> anyone know how to minimize something on startup?
[05:56] <XStatik> Is that a main directory that stores library files in ubuntu
[05:56] <hsmak> dassouki: as I said try to remove all jdks and stick with the sun-jdk
[05:56] <dassouki> sudo update-java-alternatives --list java
[05:56] <dassouki> update-java-alternatives: directory does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java
[05:57] <dassouki> hsmak: i'll resort to that i think in if i can't do the setting
[05:57] <dassouki> i like having hte options
[05:57] <geirha> dassouki: update-java-alternatives --list     nothing more
[05:57] <arthurjohnson> On Karmic. I removed that applet that shows Evolution / Empathy / something else.  Can't seem to re-add it to the panel.  What is that?
[05:57] <geirha> dassouki: Then, sudo update-java-alternatives --set java-6-sun
[05:57] <khensthoth> arthurjohnson: Indicator applet
[05:57] <Orion777> how compatible is Wine at this point?
[05:58] <hsmak> dassouki: OK then! try ur best and let removing them the last option
[05:58] <arthurjohnson> khensthoth: Your awesome! Thanks
[05:59] <Kiongku> Hi, I just installed ubuntu on my old compaq laptop.. normally ethernet works out of the box.. but right now its not working.. seems it cannot acquire an ip address. Anyone knows this issue?
[06:00] <dassouki> geirha: so from the http://pastie.org/734945 output, I think i need to rinstall sun java
[06:00] <agusj> is there any tutorial how to use ubuntu with pc station?
[06:01] <geirha> dassouki: what packages do you have installed? aptitude search sun-java
[06:02] <xtjacob> is there anyway to do a clean install of 9.10 without grub 2?
[06:02] <centHOGG> lilo
[06:02] <geirha> dassouki: I believe it's just because you don't have the jdk installed, so it can't find an alternative for javac etc for that version of java. Those messages should be safe to ignore. Try and see if the java-apps work now
[06:02] <Alan502> I have already configured my mobile broadband conection on knetworkmanager. I can even see it on the avaible networks list but when i click it nothing happens, i click it and click it again but nothing happens, it doesnt even try to connect. Would you help me please?
[06:03] <DerKlempner> Kiongku: Go to a terminal and type "ifconfig eth0" and see if it shows the adapter settings.
[06:03] <dassouki> geirha: http://pastie.org/734945
[06:03] <Satzo> Alan502, check out wicd
[06:04] <Alan502> Satzo, does wicd support mobile 3g connections?
[06:04] <Kiongku> DerKlempner: yes it does
[06:04] <Satzo> Alan502, yep if i recall correctly
[06:04] <Satzo> google wicd and check their docs
[06:04] <dassouki> geirha: negative
[06:04] <Alan502> Satzo, do you know how can i know if my drivers are correctly installed?
[06:04] <DerKlempner> Kiongku: And your computer is connected to a router/hub or directly to a modem?
[06:04] <Satzo> Alan502, i dont have 3g, hence no experience :/
[06:04] <geirha> dassouki: Hm. Do you have a java app I can try?
[06:05] <b0nn> hmm this effing upgrade
[06:05] <Kiongku> DerKlempner: router/modem combo
[06:05] <b0nn> does any f*ker know anything
[06:05] <Alan502> Satzo, ok then thanks :-)
[06:05] <DerKlempner> Kiongku: Double-check your router to make sure DHCP is enabled and it's issuing addresses.
[06:05] <b0nn> I cant even boot the effing thing now

[06:06] <mattgyver> hi, when i mount a samba share with mount -t cifs, it is mounting with a different users username and group, can anyone help?
[06:07] <DerKlempner> mattgyver: the files or the folder you're mounting it into?
[06:07] <mattgyver> DerKlempner, both, the folders, and all files within the share
[06:08] <DerKlempner> mattgyver: Use the "-o users" option
[06:08] <mattgyver> DerKlempner, its really odd because its not the username/password supplied with the command, and its not the owner and group on the file server
[06:08] <mattgyver> DerKlempner, that is what i have been using
[06:08] <DerKlempner> mattgyver: Then try "-o uid=xxxx" where "xxxx" is your user ID.
[06:08] <funkiwan> webcam question: i can see an entry for my webcam using 'lsusb' (appears as "Bus 004 Device 004: ID 046d:08b2 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Pro 4000") but no /dev/video* entry is created. what could cause this?
[06:09] <CptHowdy> hello all
[06:09] <DerKlempner> mattgyver: My mistake, the "users" option is for who can mount/unmount the filesystem, not the user who the files will belong to.

[06:20] <lostinspace_46> DerKlempner,  From the terminal  Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[06:20] <lostinspace_46> installed software in a non-standard prefix.
[06:20] <DerKlempner> lostinspace_46: Looks like you need to make sure you have gtk+-2.0 v2.6.0 (or higher) and sqlite3 v3.0 (or higher) installed first.
[06:21] <zcat[1]> CptHowdy:  tar xzf *.tat.gz
[06:21] <zcat[1]> CptHowdy:  tar xzf *.tar.gz
[06:21] <lostinspace_46> DerKlempner, I do
[06:21] <CptHowdy> i did that already
[06:21] <geirha> dassouki: Unable to reproduce with tuxguitar as well. Hm.
[06:21] <CptHowdy> tar -xzvf
[06:21] <DerKlempner> lostinspace_46: Try updating them with "sudo apt-get upgrade" first.
[06:21] <zcat[1]> hmm...
[06:22] <CptHowdy> i jus listed the structure

[06:22] <lostinspace_46> DerKlempner, I just think gfa-0.4.1 is looking in the wrong place.  Would I need to update a brqand new install?
[06:22] <CptHowdy> the .gz already unzipped
[06:22] <zcat[1]> ls arch ?
[06:23] <geirha> lostinspace_46: You need the respective -dev packages for the dependancies. For gtk, libgtk2.0-dev
[06:23] <CptHowdy> x86 x86_64
[06:23] <DerKlempner> lostinspace_46: Well, you can do a search for the dependencies, then add the path to them as an option when you configure.
[06:23] <zcat[1]> CptHowdy:  ok, cd into arch/whatever (are you running 32 or 64bit?) perhaps?
[06:23] <DerKlempner> lostinspace_46: But no need to do a new install.

[06:24] <colordrops> Hi All, is there any package that will set up Ubuntu as a wirless access point, for instance to share a wired or 3G connection?
[06:24] <colordrops> I've wired up a bunch of scripts
[06:24] <lostinspace_46> DerKlempner, And therin lies the rub, I don't have the .pc files for to use the path option with.
[06:25] <geirha> !inetsharing | colordrops
[06:25] <b0nn> colordrops: no, but it's easy enough to do
[06:25] <DerKlempner> lostinspace_46: Do some more research on the install and files needed.  There may be a kludge you can use without having to reinstall.
[06:25] <b0nn> colordrops: change the mode to ad-hoc, then do as the bot suggests
[06:26] <lostinspace_46> DerKlempner, I meant I have a brand new install of karmic

[06:26] <DerKlempner> lostinspace_46: But without knowing what program you're trying to compile I can't tell you anything more.
[06:26] <JavaAtom> Any suggestions for getting wpa_supplicant to run only when I tell it to?
[06:26] <Coded1> what should I install if I want to compile from source?
[06:26] <b0nn> JavaAtom: Ive never used wpa_supplicant, what does it offer ytou?
[06:26] <geirha> Coded1: Depends on what you want to compile
[06:26] <lostinspace_46> DerKlempner,  I is a address book  gfa-0.4.1
[06:27] <Coded1> want to compile some iphone sources to connect via usb
[06:27] <colordrops> !inetsharing
[06:27] <JavaAtom> b0nn: It's what controls wifi WPA/WPA2 authentication. It's built in and currenlty responds to the DBUS interface, but I'm trying to set it up so I can actually control my wifi from the command line.
[06:27] <hsmak> dassouki: did u say that u have this prob with pidgin too?
[06:28] <colordrops> great, thanks for the tips all
[06:28] <dassouki> hsmak: ya
[06:28] <Coded1> JavaAtom, look into wpacli
[06:28] <centHOGG> don't eat the yellow snow
[06:28] <hsmak> dassouki: i.e. not only java-based app
[06:29] <CptHowdy> dir structure is. . . /arch/x86_64/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
[06:29] <DerKlempner> lostinspace_46: See my private message I sent to you.
[06:29] <JavaAtom> Coded1: I've attempted to use wpa_cli, but every time I try, it says that it cannot connect to wpa_supplicant.
[06:29] <hsmak> dassouki: have upgraded ur Ubuntu recently?
[06:29] <Coded1> JavaAtom, is wpa_supplicant set to run at startup?  / is it running as daemon?
[06:30] <JavaAtom> Coded1: apparently, it's running as a daemon with the '-u -s' options, which prevent me from running it like I should.
[06:30] <Coded1> JavaAtom, what part of it do you want to control?
[06:30] <JavaAtom> Coded1: I want to be able to run it with my config file I've set up.
[06:30] <b0nn> JavaAtom: is it in /etc/init.d/?
[06:30] <JavaAtom> Otherwise, I have no idea how to connect to my WPA2 wifi here at home.
[06:31] <hsmak> dassouki: if u have just upgraded ur Ubuntu then I may know the prob! cuz i faced exactly the same  prob!
[06:31] <duper> Is there a way to share a split screen between two console users? so they can see what commands each other are typing?
[06:31] <Coded1> JavaAtom, it should read out of your /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf by default, you can install a program "services" to add or remove that kind of stuff
[06:31] <dassouki> hsmak: ya i just upgraded couple of weeks ago
[06:32] <JavaAtom> Coded1: right, but when I looked at that location, wpa_supplicant.conf was empty, despite being connected to the wifi...
[06:32] <hsmak> dassouki: OK I got u the sol ;) jus a sec
[06:32] <dassouki> hsmak: thanks :D
[06:32] <geirha> duper: screen should have the ability to do that, but I've never done it so you'll have to google for a guide.
[06:32] <Coded1> JavaAtom, you might have to remove network manager to get it out of the way first
[06:32] <JavaAtom> Coded1: rather, ther wasn't a wpa_supplicant.conf - there was an entire folder with ifupdown.sh, etc.
[06:33] <JavaAtom> Coded1: I just removed everything related to Gnome.
[06:33] <khensthoth> lostinspace_46: Maybe you could download this .deb instead of compiling from source
[06:33] <hsmak> dassouki: System --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Interfaces --> check the box "Show icons in menues"
[06:34] <Coded1> JavaAtom, you have to make your own it doesn't show up automatically
[06:34] <hsmak> dassouki: don't tell me it hasn'e been fixed :)
[06:34] <Ongacska> Hozsanna britha'z
[06:34] <dassouki> hsmak: it's already checked but toolbar is set to icons only
[06:35] <bluejeans> blue_boy: poke poke
[06:35] <JavaAtom> Coded1: I get that -- here might be a better question: is there a way to have a stripped-down ubuntu installed? One without KDE/Gnome, but still have a "desktop" configuration?
[06:35] <JavaAtom> Coded1: Or do I need to switch over to server?
[06:35] <Coded1> JavaAtom, install debian ;)
[06:36] <blue_boy> bluejeans: poke yourself
[06:36] <JavaAtom> Coded1: really?
[06:36] <jtaji> JavaAtom: there's xubuntu which uses XFCE
[06:36] <Coded1> JavaAtom, Debian will give you all the options to select exactly what you want
[06:36] <hsmak> dassouki: no that's really strange. cuz whn I upgraded my system it was unchecked then I checked the box. mine is "Texts beside items"
[06:37] <JavaAtom> jtaji && Coded1: I like the collection of packages for ubuntu - can they still be used on Debian (or has it been the other way around?)
[06:37] <snow_ru> how to know details about my ethernet card ?
[06:37] <hsmak> dassouki: was everything fine before upgrading?
[06:37] <Coded1> JavaAtom, shouldnt be a problem since they both use apt
[06:37] <SandGorgon> how do I add skype repo to Ubuntu AMD64. I am aware that it is only available as a 32-bit binary (and I have all ia32 libs installed.. the tar.gz version works fine), but can I not use synaptic for it
[06:37] <dassouki> hsmak: yes to the best of my knowledge
[06:37] <PratikAnand> hi...I'm installing chrome on virtual box, I've 1 GB of RAM, how much space do i need to allocate for virtual machine?
[06:37] <CptHowdy> sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/source is the first command i ran
[06:37] <Coded1> JavaAtom, Ubuntu is just a preconfiged debian distro
[06:38] <blue_boy> JavaAtom: debian has everything that ubuntu does and more... ubuntu is just spinoff of debia
[06:38] <dassouki> PratikAnand: #vbox
[06:38] <khensthoth> snow_ru: ifconfig?
[06:38] <JavaAtom> blue_boy & Coded1: Understood -- ubuntu just has its own repositories.'
[06:38] <blue_boy> JavaAtom: as does debian
[06:38] <snow_ru> khensthoth, I want to know its' maximum bandwidth !
[06:39] <snow_ru> I meant hardware property
[06:39] <Coded1> JavaAtom, ubuntu just has more repos but u can use any apt repo you want
[06:39] <JavaAtom> blue_boy: understood. I'll make the jump to debian then. Here's hoping they have DVD install media...
[06:39] <dn4> !bot
[06:39] <Coded1> JavaAtom, debian is mostly internet install based
[06:39] <ZykoticK9> SandGorgon, the medibuntu repository has Skype
[06:39] <dn4> 00:39 <ubottu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flxer
[06:39] <Coded1> so its about 150mb
[06:39] <CptHowdy> then i get this

[06:40] <rumpsy> Every each file in my system turned to executable!! how to cancel all at once
[06:40] <dn4> anyone here use flxer?
[06:40] <ZykoticK9> SandGorgon, it works on AMD64 yes - not sure about what version they have
[06:40] <khensthoth> snow_ru: lspci (or see if "lspci | grep Ethernet" works), what Ethernet card does it say it is?
[06:40] <rumpsy> Every each file in my system turned to executable!! how to cancel all at once
[06:41] <Coded1> rumpsy, lol do u still have the install disk?

[06:41] <rumpsy> no
[06:41] <SandGorgon> ZykoticK9, that should do... thanks!
[06:41] <Coded1> rumpsy, would be a good idea to download it again ;)
[06:42] <rumpsy> What to download?
[06:42] <rumpsy> is there any option to remove those, chmod +x to all
[06:43] <Coded1> rumpsy, thats a dangerous road
[06:43] <daredevilthere> Hey why does firefox become slow whn i browse for a while. v slow scrolling and v slow?
[06:43] <lasindi> Hi all, I'm trying to triple boot Ubuntu 9.10, Windows Vista and XP. I have them all installed, and Vista is detected fine, but not XP. My XP partition is on /dev/sda5, and I added this to my /etc/grub.d/40_custom: http://pastebin.com/m4a3130af When I try to boot XP, I just get a blank screen with a cursor at the top left cornerAny ideas?
[06:43] <rumpsy> Each and everyfile in my system turned to executable.. i don't know how it happened..
[06:44] <S_A> Hi! I am using 9.10. the screen resolution in my system is showing only 800x600 and 640x480. xrandr is also showing only these 2 resolutions. can anyone tell me how can make it 1280x1024
[06:44] <S_A> ??
[06:44] <rumpsy> Any solution rather than new installation?
[06:45] <ZykoticK9> rumpsy, did you happen to copy your system to a FAT or NTFS partition?
[06:45] <dn4> !chrome
[06:45] <Coded1> rumpsy, everything as an executable should'nt kill the system but its not great
[06:45] <rumpsy> no yesterday madly i did, chown -hR user /
[06:46] <dn4> :-/ http://www.flxer.net/software/faq.php#
[06:46] <dn4> can anyone get this to open up correctly in a browser http://www.flxer.net/warehouse/_flxer/
[06:46] <Flannel> rumpsy: You certainly shouldn't have done that.
[06:46] <Gabs> Howdy. Got a question - is it possible to install ubuntu onto a blank SSD via a network boot? My LiveUSB has been an epic fail
[06:47] <Flannel> rumpsy: There's no easy solution other than reinstallation, no.
[06:47] <rumpsy> Still there is no restore option like windows, if then i can restore my previous condition..
[06:47] <Flannel> rumpsy: You can however move /home to a separate partiton, so you won't lose your personal files/settings/etc, just have to reinstall the packages
[06:48] <rumpsy> Flannel: okay, as your wish i do..
[06:48] <Flannel> rumpsy: Not currently, no. And to be honest, I've never once had those windows restore things work successfully :)
[06:48] <rumpsy> Flannel: ya sometimes for me to..
[06:49] <rumpsy> Flannel: ya sometimes for me too.. :D
[06:49] <ZykoticK9> rumpsy, if only ZFS was ported to Linux right now - that WOULD have a restore solution for you
[06:49] <rumpsy> okay i start my new installation.
[06:49] <System-7> Does anyone else get this weird mouse lag every now and then in Karmic?
[06:49] <System-7> A suspend/restart seems to kill it
[06:50] <System-7> then it comes back later
[06:50] <rumpsy> oh
[06:50] <htsb> haloooooo
[06:50] <Gabs> Anyone have an idea on network boots?
[06:51] <dn4> where is the chrome in apt-get?
[06:51] <htsb> who anyone can configure camfrog on ubuntu
[06:51] <xtjacob> it's called chromium
[06:52] <xtjacob> i think you have to add a repo
[06:52] <System-7> im getting it now
[06:52] <eddym> i need to mirror my drive what linux prg should iuse
[06:52] <htsb> can u all help me
[06:52] <ZykoticK9> dn4, chromium is a game - chromium-browser is the web browser
[06:52] <Coded1> Gabs, network boots?
[06:53] <Coded1> Gabs, you mean install to a machine over the network?
[06:53] <dn4> chrome!
[06:53] <Gabs> coded1: yeah. I can't get the LiveUSB to boot and install so I'm need some other method.
[06:53] <ZykoticK9> dn4, if you want Google Chrome they have released BETA debs
[06:53] <dn4> ZykoticK9: i'm gonna check out that chromium game sweet
[06:53] <Coded1> Gabs, for the usb method you might have to make a change in the BIOS
[06:53] <Gabs> Coded1: I installed a blank SSD into my netbook and I need to get an OS onto it. I want Ubuntu 9.10
[06:54] <Gabs> Coded1: I know that.
[06:54] <dn4> http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html?dl=unstable_i386_deb  <-- liket his
[06:54] <Gabs> BIOS is already properly configured
[06:54] <Coded1> Gabs, you can try using tftp
[06:54] <relic420> how do i install the xvid Codedc on ubuntu?
[06:54] <System-7> wait, how much memory can 32-bit Ubuntu read?
[06:54] <Coded1> but you have to use a wired ethernet connection not wireless
[06:54] <ZykoticK9> System-7, 3.2G
[06:54] <Gabs> Coded1: well my netbook is trying to use DHCP
[06:54] <sleepy_cat> I was suggested my someone to go in for a G31 motherboard.. is there a community where i can discuss all this
[06:54] <Gabs> I know that too
[06:55] <Gabs> my netbook is wired in
[06:55] <dn4> sudo apt-get install chromium
[06:55] <System-7> Hmm, it's reading 2.7 of my 4
[06:55] <daredevilthere> How to find which codec is used in video ?
[06:55] <sleepy_cat> #join #just-shoot-me
[06:55] <losha> sleepy_cat: maybe #hardware ?
[06:55] <System-7> maybe I should go 64 bit... though I'm weary of driver issues
[06:55] <sleepy_cat> ok thanks
[06:55] <Gabs> I wish I could boot from an SD-card ...
[06:55] <losha> daredevilthere: mplayer -identify might do it...
[06:56] <System-7> The instructions for tweaks to my specific comp don't specify 32 or 64 bit
[06:56] <ulq> Anyone encountering issues after the most recent upgrade with Nvidia cards and grub/2.6.31-16 ?
[06:56] <daredevilthere> losha:  wait il check
[06:56] <Coded1> Gabs, this looks cool https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDShareThisCD
[06:56] <System-7> I have nvidia, i don't know if it's the latest though
[06:56] <Gabs> Coded1: I did mention this is a netbook right?
[06:56] <losha> System-7: you can probably look the model number up and find out. It depends on the cpu...
[06:56] <Gabs> No CD-ROM
[06:57] <Coded1> Gabs, the neat thing is you can just download any image on one machine and any other computer will pick it up
[06:57] <dn4> what is System-7?
[06:57] <ulq> I cannot fathom for the life of me why after I upgrade Ubuntu, reboot my system, it breaks.
[06:57] <dn4> !System-7
[06:57] <System-7> It's a 5,2 Macbook
[06:57] <Gabs> Coded1: will it work if my other machines are windows?
[06:57] <Coded1> Gabs, u need a computer to have the install files connected to the same network as your netbook
[06:57] <dassouki> hsmak: any other ideas ?
[06:58] <eddym> hey guys need to mirror my internal drive what linux sw should i download?
[06:58] <guyvdb_> Hi, what channel is best to ask about building a new kernel in ubuntu?
[06:58] <System-7> also, any ideas on this weird mouse lag?
[06:58] <arghh2d2> what is dn4?
[06:58] <arghh2d2> !dn4
[06:58] <relic420> wow its dead lol
[06:58] <Coded1> Gabs, what utility did you use to make your bootable usb drive?
[06:58] <losha> !backup | eddym (see if any of this helps)
[06:58] <Gabs> coded1 - I've used both unetbootin and Live USB creator
[06:58] <System-7> wait are you looking up my nickname? It's representative of Mac OS 7, a.k.a. System 7
[06:59] <losha> Gabs: can't you use unetbootin to do a cd-less install onto the ssd?
[06:59] <System-7> anyway, the mouse lag is back
[06:59] <Coded1> Gabs, did you try using different usb ports?  sometimes the machine will only boot off a particular port
[06:59] <arghh2d2> what is youtalkinaboutwillis?
[06:59] <Gabs> Yes I've tried all 3 USB ports
[06:59] <Gabs> all I get is a black screen and a blinking cursor
[06:59] <Gabs> and I tried it on all my machines
[07:00] <Gabs> I think my USB stick is hosed somehow - I'm not sure.
[07:00] <eddym> losha, no
[07:00] <Coded1> Gabs,  dont know what to say then, tftp requires another machine connected to the same network via ethernet cable
[07:00] <Gabs> I've tried 9.04 and 9.10 too
[07:00] <Gabs> Well I have 4 machines
[07:00] <Gabs> but they all run windows
[07:00] <Gabs> will it work with windows?
[07:00] <Coded1> Gabs, you might be able to find a windows program that will run as a tftp server
[07:00] <Gabs> or does one need Ubuntu for it to work?
[07:00] <System-7> how can I kill this mouse lag?
[07:01] <Gabs> Now I have 9.10 on my desktop but it's having hardware issues. But could that work?
[07:01] <arghh2d2> System-7: tiling window manager?   i dont know for sure what you mean by mouse lag
[07:01] <Gabs> I need 9.10 UNR though
[07:01] <System-7> the mouse starts lagging all of a sudden
[07:01] <System-7> A reboot or suspend often gets rid of it
[07:01] <System-7> but it comes back
[07:02] <Coded1> Gabs, just check out that link it posted above
[07:02] <System-7> My CPU isn't nearly being taxed
[07:02] <askvictor> I'm logged in to another computer over ssh, with X forwarding enabled. I can run xeyes and nautilus remotely and see the progs locally.  or "ssh -Y ..." ? if you're using X try it with Y
[07:04] <Gabs> Coded1: I am looking at the page but I'm quite following what to do
[07:04] <Coded1> Gabs, the directions are at the bottom half
[07:04] <Gabs> Do I need to follow those steps on the other system?
[07:04] <Coded1> Gabs, yuppers
[07:05] <Gabs> alright - see that was very unclear on the page
[07:05] <Coded1> Gabs, most of it is copy / paste
[07:05] <Gabs> thank you
[07:05] <Coded1> np
[07:05] <Gabs> Lemme give it a try
[07:05] <System-7> Hey, heres something odd about the mouse lag:
[07:05] <System-7> it goes away while im typing
[07:06] <losha> System-7: I've never seen anyone else report this symptom. Check your hardware....
[07:06] <Gabs> Coded1: one question though - this looks like it's setting it up for Ubuntu 6.10 ... I want to install 9.10 UNR
[07:06] <arghh2d2> System-7: if its an infared mouse you might check the battery
[07:06] <Coded1> Gabs, the neat thing is once you have it set up you can install any machine just by pluging it into the network
[07:07] <brrant> can someone tell me how to change the default run level to 3 (cli) upon bootup. (I have a laptop that's too slow to adequately use X, but I want to keep X available.)
[07:07] <Gabs> Coded1: ok but how do I get 9.10 unr?
[07:07] <brrant> I've installed 9.10
[07:07] <System-7> nah, it's usb
[07:08] <arghh2d2> brrant: you have to change the appropriate script in rc.d i think
[07:08] <Coded1> Gabs, its no problem just download what ever distro you want as ISO and copy it to the folder
[07:08] <ZykoticK9> brrant, just use "sudo mv /etc/init/gdm.conf  /etc/init/gdm.conf-disabled" and GDM won't autostart!
[07:08] <losha> brrant: runlevels don't work properly in Ubuntu. I usually rename gdm and gdm-binary instead....
[07:09] <brrant> ZykoticK9, if I do that, how do I perform the equivalent of "startx" when I need gnome?
[07:09] <ZykoticK9> brrant, either use "startx" or "sudo services gdm start"
[07:09] <arghh2d2> brrant: there should be a file in /etc/rc.d/ is named something like S03gdm ... change it to s03gdm  it could be any number
[07:10] <arghh2d2> brrant: losha may have made a better suggestion...i havent done this in ubuntu in a while
[07:10] <Coded1> does anyone know what I have to install to be able to compile?  i need gcc, make, et al ... I think there is a package that includes everything
[07:10] <askvictor> ZykoticK9: thanks, just tried that, but same problem
[07:10] <ZykoticK9> brrant, don't start messing with other rc.d type files!!!  if have a more complicated version of editing gdm.conf to prevent it from starting if you want... but 9.10 uses Upstart not init
[07:10] <losha> brrant: actually. I think ZykoticK9's solution is more elegant...
[07:11] <lstarnes> Coded1: build-essential
[07:11] <ZykoticK9> askvictor, sorry no other suggestions for you man, good luck
[07:11] <askvictor> thanks anyways
[07:11] <Gabs> ugh I wish this was easier, or that at least the LiveUSB would work
[07:11] <arghh2d2> brrant: yeah, believe in the ZykoticK9 one
[07:11] <losha> askvictor: try a different viewer xpdf, or ghostscript?
[07:11] <Coded1> lstarnes, you are a gentleman and a scholar and there aren't many of us left
[07:12] <losha> Coded1: doing support over irc kicks the tar out of most of them eventually...
[07:12] <askvictor> losha: xpdf doesn't have the printing support I need, might have to look for others I guess
[07:13] <Coded1> losha, at least its better then getting paid, you can just tell people on the internet to go away ;)
[07:13] <Gabs> hehe
[07:13] <ZykoticK9> askvictor, have you tried Acroread?
[07:13] <Gabs> I dunno - I kinda like getting paid :p
[07:13] <brrant> ZykoticK9, I'm trying your suggestion now, just finishing making a seperate backup first :)
[07:13] <arghh2d2> yeah, kick rocks
[07:13] <askvictor> ZykoticK9: no, but I _spose_ I could.
[07:14] <ZykoticK9> askvictor, it's in the Partner repo i think
[07:14]  * askvictor goes off to tweak his sources.list
[07:14] <eddym> hey guys i found linux ghost to ghost my drive it is an iso
[07:14] <eddym> can i just burn it to cd and boot from it
[07:15] <System-7> its gone now, the mouse lag.... it just pops in and out lol
[07:15] <System-7> completely random
[07:15] <dclifford> if I have Ubuntu on one drive, and Windows (I know, I know.... I sinned.) on another, and I installed windows second, how do I add ubuntu to my MBR?
[07:15] <ZykoticK9> eddym, clonezilla is certainly a bootable ISO for making disk images (ghost for linux???)
[07:15]  * SeViLLa
[07:15] <yxz> good morning all
[07:15] <Coded1> speaking of which im crashing nite all
[07:15] <yxz> i need help
[07:15] <eddym> ZykoticK9, yes they said it like norton ghost for linux
[07:16] <eddym> ZykoticK9, i can boot with clonezilla w/ cd?
[07:16] <System-7> I'm probably alone in having Ubuntu on a mac here lol :P
[07:16] <losha> eddym: according to http://linux.softpedia.com/get/System/Hardware/Ghost-for-Linux-053.shtml it's a bootable cd image, so yes, you can just burn & boot it (warning: use image mode to burn the iso or it won't work)
[07:16] <ZykoticK9> eddym, g4l yup (it's not REALLY ghost, ie Norton) - i'm on the trolley now
[07:16] <dclifford> System-7: nope!
[07:17] <eddym> losha, what is image mode?
[07:17] <yxz> I wanted to install a cross-compiler mipsel on my ubuntu 9.10, someone can help me?
[07:17] <System-7> Is it best to stick with 32 bit Ubuntu, despite less access to memory, on a macbook?
[07:17] <losha> System-7: why run ubuntu on a mac?
[07:17] <Flannel> System-7: What concerns do you have about 64bit?
[07:17] <System-7> I love Ubuntu
[07:17] <dclifford> why not?
[07:17] <eddym> losha, i didnt get what you mean with image mode
[07:18] <Gabs> I would love ubuntu more if I could install it :p
[07:18] <System-7> I triple boot it with OS X and Windows
[07:18] <arghh2d2> losha: he's addicted to freedom i suppose
[07:18] <dclifford> same here
[07:18] <losha> System-7: oh, love. Nuff said...
[07:18] <qlg> hi
[07:18] <arghh2d2> hi
[07:19] <losha> eddym: the iso isn't a data file, it's an actual image of the final CD, so you have to tell your burning program to burn it as an 'image' or it won't boot....
[07:19] <eddym> losha, gotcha.. yeah
[07:19] <eddym> losha, i did burn some iso's in  the past
[07:19] <System-7> I used to have this laptop I ran Ubuntu on, probably my favorite computer of all time... till faulty hardware ended our time together prematurely.
[07:19] <Gabs> Here's a silly question - does having both my desktop and netbook connected via ethernet through the same router make them networked (I'm guessing not)
[07:19] <brrant> ZykoticK9, Thanks, that will do the trick nicely
[07:19] <losha> System-7: I thought macs had a perfectly good implementation of *bsd running under the hood....
[07:20] <nomad111> hi all, is there a compiler in ubuntu that i can use to compile my program for sun solaris platforms?
[07:20] <dclifford> Gabs: yeah.
[07:20] <losha> Gabs: actually, it mostly does...
[07:20] <qlg> anbody use gtk
[07:20] <Gabs> losha - hmm well that's cool then
[07:20] <arghh2d2> losha: osx is based on freebsd but it's closed source
[07:20] <Gabs> maybe this might work
[07:21] <ZykoticK9> brrant, :)
[07:21] <System-7> dclifford, I'm running Karmic here on a 5,2 Macbook, and I get this odd random mouse lag at times...it goes away with a reboot/standy/over time, then comes back later...any idea what's causing it?
[07:21] <eddym> losha, says brasero cant burn image
[07:21] <eddym> losha, what sw can i burn the image?
[07:21] <losha> nomad111: dunno if it's possible, but it's got to be more trouble than it's worth.  I don't see any reason why it would do that.... well, that input driver might help! lol
[07:24] <jeff__> hey everyone, i'm trying to batch resize some pictures with "for i in `ls`; do convert -resize 256x256 -quality 100 $i $i; done", which works, but how do i get it to work recursively?
[07:24] <arghh2d2> jeff__: you'd have better luck in #bash
[07:24] <losha> nomad111: probably, but it might be buggy, since I bet it doesn't get much use cross-compiling for sun/solaris....
[07:24] <brrant> I have a Dell laptop, that won't use the Broadcom wireless card. Connecting via wire, I've installed bcmwl-kernerl-source package and rebooted, but the wireless card still isn't found
[07:25] <brrant> can anyone tell me how to get this engaged? It just worked under 8.10
[07:25] <System-7> I doubt its lag from CPU usage, nothings using much resources... I don't have access to all 4gb of memory, but 2.7 should be plenty I think, unless Karmic has much higher requirements than previous Ubuntu versions
[07:25] <dclifford> nah
[07:25] <ZykoticK9> jeff__, your "for i in `ls`" is typically just "for i in *"
[07:26] <dclifford> System-7: try that driver and let me know what that does for you?
[07:26] <losha> jeff__: change 'ls' to 'ls -R' might work. Otherwise, you'll have to use find
[07:26] <dclifford> -?
[07:26] <System-7> yeah I should restart X....
[07:27] <dclifford> how do i add ubuntu to my mbr?
[07:27] <dclifford> or delete my mbr and use grub?
[07:28] <arghh2d2> !grub
[07:28] <dclifford> thx
[07:28] <milligan_> I'm having problems installing wine on karmic. I installed wine1.2 as it's a dependency .. but when I now do sudo apt-get install wine, I get wine: Depends: wine1.2 but it is not going to be installed
[07:30] <Om3Ddragon> wow
[07:30] <timClicks> am trying to replicate a live usb with dd
[07:31] <DryGrain> How come the splash screen and login screen and default background on this installation of Karmic grey and black toned, but on the install I did from the CD I ordered from Shipit, it's the same orange theme as Jaunty? In GNOME, I mean.
[07:31] <timClicks> and the new drive wont load - screen moans about damaged / invalid boot partition
[07:31] <timClicks> but the source usb boots fine
[07:32] <boringwall__> How would I write a block of text from inside a Bourne shell script to a file?
[07:33] <Om3Ddragon> if you use playonlinux you can use any wine version from there and ill be easy to play games or run programs there
[07:33] <boringwall> How would I write a block of text from inside a Bourne shell script to a file?
[07:34] <Bdfoster89_> !patience | boringwall
[07:34] <Ben64> whats the command to find out which version of ubuntu i'm running?
[07:34] <askvictor> boringwall: cat > somefile.txt <<EOF
[07:35] <RaptorQuest> What is the best way to replace grub with grub2?
[07:35] <askvictor> then type your text, then finish with EOF on a line by itself
[07:36] <SmokeyD> hey people. Is there a bittorrent client that I can run as a daemon on my machine to start when the computer starts, and control through a gui?
[07:36] <Ben64> SmokeyD: deluge
[07:36] <askvictor> SmokeyD: transmission has a deamon and web interface
[07:36] <milligan_> Om3Ddragon, I need to get iTunes running ... but at the moment, wine is refusing to install :P playonlinux is just a frontend to wine, so that won't do me much good :)
[07:36] <askvictor> (which is quite like the standard transmission gui)
[07:36] <SmokeyD> askvictor: yeah, but it only starts when I login to my machine, not when the computer starts
[07:37] <SmokeyD> Ben64: Ok, I'll check it out
[07:37] <SmokeyD> thanks
[07:37] <lostinspace_46> When installing a program, how does the install create the <filename.pc>  file?  I ask because my sqlite3.6.16 does not have a .pc file.
[07:37] <askvictor> SmokeyD: I have transmission-daemon running on startup
[07:37] <Ben64> SmokeyD: dunno if it starts up automatically all the time, but that's easy to set up
[07:37] <Om3Ddragon> the thing is why do you need itunes on linux anyways
[07:37] <boringwall> askvictor - Where would the text that I would like to write to somefile.txt go?
[07:37] <milligan_> Om3Ddragon, because I have an iPhone, and I hate windows?
[07:37] <Om3Ddragon> but you can still use itunes on playonlinux but ill be the version 7 I think
[07:38] <arghh2d2> Om3Ddragon: he probly bought an overpriced device that started with a lower case i
[07:38] <SmokeyD> askvictor: ok, it doesn't need a graphical desktop to start?
[07:38] <SmokeyD> cool
[07:38] <SmokeyD> thanks
[07:38] <askvictor> SmokeyD: no
[07:38] <milligan_> arghh2d2, I didn't buy it .. Got it free from work :)
[07:39] <arghh2d2> milligan_: you trying to activate a brand new iphone?
[07:39] <milligan_> nah - need it synced etc.
[07:39] <askvictor> SmokeyD: install transmission-daemon
[07:39] <lostinspace_46> boringwall, Open the <somefile> add the text, save
[07:39] <Om3Ddragon> the only thing that won't work on linux is the ipod touch I think but he can use any other ipod in rhythmbox
[07:39] <boringwall> lostinspace_46, I want to write to the file from a shell script
[07:39] <SmokeyD> askvictor: great! thanks a lot. Found it.
[07:39] <arghh2d2> milligan_: ther's no gaurantee it's gonna do that...i'd just take it work and activate on one of their computers
[07:40] <boringwall> e.g. if I have a script s.sh, I want to write "Hello World" to myfile.txt from within it
[07:40] <lostinspace_46> boringwall,  Have you looked at the "touch" manual?
[07:40] <powertool08> Does anyone have any opinions on selinux or bastille?
[07:40] <arghh2d2> Om3Ddragon: brand new iphones require itunes to get the latest software/patches before they can be activated
[07:40] <boringwall> I'd prefer to do it some way with "cat"
[07:40] <milligan_> arghh2d2, that sounds like the "I give up solution". I don't give up. :)
[07:40] <lostinspace_46> boringwall, I think the text can be used as an argument to touch.
[07:41] <Kiongku> boringwall: why not echo?
[07:41] <Om3Ddragon> well im a linux user I use the palm pre so sorry for you
[07:41] <nazzzux> How do I connect to an open network, hidden from scans? I know the ssid, and @ windows, that's all I need.
[07:41] <boringwall> Is there a way to do it without having to write > myfile.txt after each echo statement?
[07:42] <askvictor> boringwall: the concept you are looking for is a 'here file' - look it up (assuming you want to write more than one line of text)
[07:42] <co_1><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:42] <Om3Ddragon> in order to use linux phones I got palm pre webos was made by linus tor so that is the best option now in phone for linux you can be a dev there too
[07:42] <arghh2d2> milligan_: whatever, you can rewrite wine while your at if you so gunho...i'm just saying, all that effort and then the wine runing itunes doesnt even sync up your new phone, i'd just take it to work and be done with it
[07:42] <Kiongku> boringwall: welcome to shell scripting.. nothing more to say..
[07:42] <lostinspace_46> When installing a program, how does the install create the <filename.pc>  file?  I ask because my sqlite3.6.16 does not have a .pc file.
[07:43] <milligan_> arghh2d2, thanks for the input. I'll keep that at mind when I look for a workaround :)
[07:44] <al__> is there a way, when copying files, to create the target directory if it doesnt already exist?
[07:44] <lostinspace_46> And without the .pc file, I have an install that can't find sqlite.
[07:44] <Peter2222> I configured vsftpd and after start it not work with config file properly, when i stop it, I can still connect by FTP!??? What can I check what service is still running?
[07:44] <arghh2d2> has anybody seen that youtube video on the guy that installs linux on everything in the house?  thats what some people in here remind me of
[07:44]  * powertool08 opens a new tab to youtube
[07:45] <Gabs> all I want linux on is my netbook and so far I can't even achieve that
[07:45] <arghh2d2> Gabs: sorry bout your bad luck
[07:45] <ubnoob> i am installing 9.10 on mymachine. wat file system should i use?
[07:46] <ubnoob> and what type to use?
[07:46] <Gabs> well maybe this other option I'm trying will work - I'm still downloading the files onto my other system first
[07:46] <Kiongku> hmm linux on everything.. nokia symbians?.. not maemo though
[07:46] <askvictor> ubnoob: ext3 or ext4
[07:46] <System-7> hmmm the lag is back, guess that didn't fix it
[07:46] <dclifford> darn
[07:46] <ubnoob> askvictor: wat about the type? primary or logical?
[07:46] <nazzzux> How do I connect to an open network, hidden from scans? I entered the SSID at thtr "New connection"-window, and that's all that I needed to do with windows.
[07:47] <lostinspace_46> Alternatively, using other .pc files as a guide, can I create my own?
[07:47] <askvictor> ubnoob: ext3 is very well tested and stable, ext4 is faster for some things, but hasn't been around as long so _slightly_ more susceptible to data loss
[07:47] <askvictor> ubnoob: I use ext3 for servers, ext4 for desktops
[07:47] <Kiongku> ubnoob, depends on ur setup..  why not follow the auto partitioner?
[07:47] <ubnoob> Kiongku: i already had 8.10 and i am upgrading
[07:48] <ubnoob> Kiongku: so i am using its partition space to install 9.10
[07:48] <askvictor> ubnoob: are you re-installing?
[07:48] <askvictor> or installing a new ubuntu instance in a new partition?
[07:48] <ubnoob> askvictor: no. upgrading to 9.10 from 8.10
[07:48] <lostinspace_46> ubnoob, Re-install instead of up-grade
[07:49] <ubnoob> lostinspace_46: ok
[07:49] <Kiongku> ubnoob: i concur with lostinspace_46
[07:49] <lostinspace_46> ubnoob,  There are issues with up-grading
[07:49] <ubnoob> lostinspace_46:  wat kind of partition space should i select ? logical or primary?
[07:49] <askvictor> ubnoob: an upgrade doesn't need re-partitioning. If you are in the partitioner screen, you are re-installing
[07:49] <askvictor> ubnoob: primary
[07:50] <Gabs> Bottom line my problem was I got a netbook with too small of an SSD, so I had to get a larger SSD and trying to do a fresh install without a CD-ROM has been a pain in the butt.
[07:50] <lostinspace_46> ubnoob,  On a fresh install just let the installer take care of it
[07:50] <dclifford> use unetbootin with the ubuntu iso to put it on a thumbdrive. thats how i do it, and it's easy and fast
[07:51] <askvictor> Gabs: did you use the netbook usb img?
[07:51] <Kiongku> Gabs: the usb are pretty good..
[07:51] <Gabs> Well tht's the problem - I haven't been able to get the LiveUSB to work (yet)
[07:52] <askvictor> Gabs: is your BIOS set up to boot from USB?
[07:52] <Gabs> Of course
[07:52] <dclifford> what kind of netbook?
[07:52] <Gabs> I may not be that linux savvy but I'm not a total noob :p
[07:52] <Gabs> Dell Mini 9
[07:53] <Mystpr> hello. how to restart httpd? service httpd restart works for ubuntu?
[07:53] <dclifford> does the filesystem have anything to do with it?
[07:53] <askvictor> Gabs: it helps not to make too many assumptions. You'd be suprised how many printers don't work because they aren't plugged in ;-)
[07:54] <Gabs> askvictor - you are also the 5th person who asked me that today :p
[07:54] <powertool08> nazzzux: Ever get an answer?
[07:54] <rumpsy> You can try apache2
[07:54] <Mystpr> rumpsy: service apache2 restart?
[07:54] <askvictor> Gabs: how far does the usb boot process go?
[07:55] <rumpsy> do you want to restart apache2
[07:55] <Gabs> askvictor - no where - all I get is a black screen and a flashing cursor
[07:55] <Mystpr> rumpsy: yep
[07:55] <rumpsy> /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[07:55] <rumpsy> this may help you
[07:55] <Ek|mu5> clear
[07:56] <askvictor> Gabs: have you tried booting anything else via usb?
[07:56] <Ek|mu5> whoops
[07:56] <Mystpr> rumpsy: may i add this command to crontab?
[07:56] <Gabs> ask - yes. same thing happened. I'm trying a different tactic right now. We'll see if this works.
[07:56] <dclifford> can you manually boot to the usb, rather than let it go through the boot order. like trying f12, or esc?
[07:57] <rumpsy> Mystpr:yep
[07:57] <Gabs> well lemme try this other thing first ...
[07:57] <Mystpr> rumpsy: Ok I added 0 4 * * * /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[07:57] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, since the new dependency based startup stuff in ubuntu karmic, I can't use sysvconfig anymore can I? Which app should I use then to manage which daemons start in which runlevel?
[07:57] <Mystpr> rumpsy: Thanks
[07:58] <Gabs> I think that worked!!!
[07:58] <timClicks> am trying to replicate a live usb with dd. the new drive wont load - screen moans about damaged / invalid boot partition. the source usb boots fine.... any ideas?
[07:58] <Gabs> (finally!)
[07:58] <timClicks> does it matter where something is mounted?
[07:59] <dclifford> what'd ya do?
[07:59] <GJLenon> Evening folks.    I keep getting "QueryServiceConfig2W Level 6 not implemented" errors... anyone have any ideas?
[07:59] <Gabs> I created the LiveUSB from my ubuntu desktop instead of my windows laptop
[07:59] <timClicks> i am using dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/tmp/usb.img
[07:59] <dclifford> lol....
[07:59] <timClicks> and then dd of=/dev/sdb1 if=/tmp/usb.img
[08:00] <Gabs> I was avoiding that because my desktop is on it's deathbed
[08:00] <askvictor> Gabs: so the usb wasn't being created correctly?
[08:01] <Gabs> askvictor: yeah that's all I can figure
[08:01] <nazzzux_> What IDE should I use for JAVA?
[08:02] <Kiongku> hmm i just noticed that my grub updated.. its asking what action to do.. is the default keep local version currently installed the right way to go?
[08:02] <indus> Kiongku: should be safe to update
[08:03] <Gabs> well this is a relief - I really wanted to get my netbook up and running again
[08:04] <Kiongku> indux: so i do install the package maintainer's version?
[08:04] <Kiongku> *indus
[08:04] <gOLDfeesh> I can't mount my usb hard drive anymore.
[08:04] <gOLDfeesh> found this is the udev log if it helps: DEVLINKS=/dev/block/8:1 /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST98823AS_5PK397DM-part1 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST98823AS_5PK397DM-part1 /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:0e.0-scsi-0:0:0:0-part1
[08:05] <indus> Kiongku: yes
[08:05] <hoo-hah> hi guys, Ihave a ssh shell account on remote server, and I tend to run screen on it, (so i can quickly re-attach session if the connection goes bad somehow) Now, this is more a ssh-related question, but is there a way to keep the connection active, even if I'm not entering anything into the session?
[08:05] <rumpsy> Mystpr: is that worked?
[08:05] <hoo-hah> I only have client-side control
[08:05] <DaZ> gOLDfeesh: udev log? ;f
[08:06] <gOLDfeesh> DaZ,  /var/log/udev
[08:06] <DaZ> gOLDfeesh: dmesg is usually more helpful
[08:07] <hoo-hah> anyone?
[08:08] <gOLDfeesh> DaZ, http://pastebin.com/f569b45f0
[08:08] <nazzzux_> Uhh. Why did it just say "nazzzux<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has quit [Read error: 113 (No route to host)]"? i'm still here afaik
[08:08] <gOLDfeesh> !anyone | hoo-hah
[08:08] <hoo-hah> g0nz0|Boston: wrong.
[08:08] <Gabs> well thanks for all the helpful suggestions everyone. G'night :)
[08:08] <hoo-hah> gOLDfeesh: wrong syntax
[08:08] <hoo-hah> g0nz0|Boston: sorry, nick-complete error
[08:09] <gOLDfeesh> hoo-hah, huh?
[08:09] <hoo-hah> gOLDfeesh: the real question was asked before hand
[08:09] <hoo-hah> so wrong ordering
[08:09] <DaZ> gOLDfeesh: and what happens when you try to mount it? ;f

[08:15] <iggy_> Hey I was wondering if someone could help me, I am a noob, I have been trying to figure out how come I need root access just to show my cam, any ideas how to fix this?
[08:15] <gOLDfeesh> How would one clean / fix / repair bad sectors of a hard drive? fsck?
[08:15] <SmokeyD> I have it running, but each time I change the configuration file in /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json and then restart the daemon, the settings I just changed are changed back to the old values
[08:15] <gOLDfeesh> !bad sector
[08:16] <gOLDfeesh> !badsector
[08:16] <gOLDfeesh> hmm that didn't work lol.

[08:18] <Sierradump> Is there a command I can run in terminal to show me what version of nVidia graphics drivers I have installed?
[08:19] <calvst> Hi, I was writing some shell script and I noticed this: http://pastebin.com/d27e81a36  : why is '/bin/echo' different from 'echo'
[08:19] <joseamunoz> Sierradump: There is a way to do that. Let me have a look
[08:19] <Yos> Sierradump, try lspci|grep VGA
[08:20] <DaZ> Sierradump: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
[08:20] <gOLDfeesh> !bad

[08:22] <ManDay> Is there a frontend to OpenVPN ?
[08:22] <joseamunoz> ManDay: Use Network Manager

[08:22] <gOLDfeesh> ManDay, try Network-Manager
[08:22] <ManDay> Thanks
[08:23] <joseamunoz> ManDay: sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn
[08:23] <ManDay> Ah.
[08:23] <ManDay> Because currently in network manager all the Buttons for VPN are grayed out

[08:32] <Sacho> Hello, I'm using jaunty, and from time to time(on no particular action), the system completely hangs, with all I can see there being a flashing caps lock. I can't switch to a terminal from the graphics manager, basically, the system becomes completely unresponsive. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this, or how I could debug it?
[08:33] <help_livecduser> am currently on live cd need help from someone asap. please sort my partition issue .anyone? ?
[08:33] <PND> Hello here :)
[08:33] <help_livecduser> hey PND

[08:35] <PND> Please.
[08:36] <PND> help_livecduser, are you common with Linux ?
[08:36] <help_livecduser> didnt  get you..
[08:36] <help_livecduser> heres the screenshot - http://i47.tinypic.com/33nb97d.jpg
[08:37] <PND> AMD64 distribution isn't a good choice then... You should start with a i386 distrib, even if you're on a 64 bit processors.
[08:38] <richard_ma> In Ubuntu, Which script call the ~/.bashrc
[08:38] <help_livecduser> hmm but earlier installations didnt had this problem. .
[08:38] <PND> richard_ma, bash I guess.
[08:38] <PND> richard_ma, maybe /etc/profile too or /etc/bashrc
[08:38] <PND> Check there.
[08:38] <help_livecduser> i mean i had wiped my 160gigs a few months back.. n re-partitioned it. b4 tht all was fine.
[08:38] <PND> help_livecduser, it shouldn't be linked with this problem. It's weird actually.
[08:39] <help_livecduser> now whn i was trying 2 reinstall ubuntu after months
[08:39] <PND> help_livecduser, you're on the livecd right now ?
[08:39] <help_livecduser>  i m getting this problem :(
[08:39] <help_livecduser> ya i know its pretty weird :|
[08:39] <duncan_> Need networking help: I stupidly un-installed network-manager and have re-insa
[08:39] <duncan_> sorry, re-installed it with aptoncd, but it doesn't seem to run. ideas?
[08:40] <arghh2d2> help_livecduser: did you do an auto partition install at some point?
[08:40] <PND> duncan_, I can't help you, sorry.
[08:40] <help_livecduser> arghh2d2, nope custom partition only .
[08:40] <help_livecduser> arghh2d2, nope.. i did custom partition only .
[08:40] <arghh2d2> i see
[08:40] <PND> help_livecduser, can you launch a gparted editor ? Maybe this one is buggy (would be weird, but you should try)
[08:41] <lint> can someone please help me? i am trying to use empathy im client but i am getting a message that my default keyring is locked and it wont accept my password
[08:41] <richard_ma> PND: There's no /etc/bashrc in my system, and /etc/profile call the /etc/bash.bashrc, but the /etc/bash.bashrc call no scripts~~
[08:41] <PND> richard_ma, then bash should call it directly, I guess.
[08:41] <help_livecduser> PND, hmm k wait. .
[08:41] <joseamunoz> richard_ma: .bashrc is directly call by the bash shell
[08:41] <PND> richard_ma, you should read man bash, it explains there :)
[08:41] <duncan_> lint, locked? try logging out and then in again. I can't see how it can be locked if you haven't done something. logging in again will reset its status.
[08:42] <richard_ma> PND: but my ~/.bashrc in ubuntu server edition not execute it
[08:42] <help_livecduser> PND, its still weird there. lemme grab a screenshot n upload.. stay here. need ur help :)
[08:42] <richard_ma> PND: So I guess some script call it
[08:43] <PND> richard_ma, .bashrc will be executed everytime a user log into the system.
[08:43] <PND> If no user logs, no .bashrc would be called.
[08:43] <richard_ma> PND: I have logout and login many times.
[08:43] <duncan_> how can I see if network-manager is running? I see no network icon and can't get online on that machine.
[08:43] <richard_ma> PND: OK, I'll read the bash manpage.
[08:44] <PND> help_livecduser, i'm staying here.
[08:44] <PND> richard_ma, INVOCATION part.
[08:44] <richard_ma> PND: Thx
[08:44] <help_livecduser> PND, here is the screenshot - one partition is missing.. http://i49.tinypic.com/ossy83.png n one is shown weirdly big ..
[08:46] <PND> help_livecduser, which util did you used for partition it ?
[08:46] <help_livecduser> i did the partition by windows disk management default tools
[08:46] <joseamunoz> richard_ma: have a look at http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/sample-bashrc.html
[08:47] <rumpsy> rightclick mycomputer'
[08:47] <help_livecduser> okay , what do u think , is it safe to go ahead installing in the drive i made named 'Linux' ?
[08:47] <help_livecduser> i wont loose my data wud i ?
[08:47] <jennie> I installed canon2900 printer in ubuntu 9.04 but its not printing any documents , please help me , here is a SS :-http://i50.tinypic.com/j9t4w2.jpg
[08:48] <PND> help_livecduser, since ubuntu can't say exactly where you partitions are, I won't do that.
[08:48] <dew5> h ey guys n girs
[08:48] <help_livecduser> okay :(
[08:48] <dew5> im having trouble burning a dvd data disk
[08:48] <help_livecduser> so any solution for me?
[08:48] <PND> It could write on the wrong partition without knowing it, and format it.
[08:49] <richard_ma> joseamunoz: Thx, I'm reading the bash manpage. Later, I'll read this page.
[08:49] <dew5> i cant see my dvd drive it only says cdrom???
[08:49] <dew5> please help
[08:49] <help_livecduser> hmm well thats wht i fear. . it shouldnt format the missing partition
[08:49] <zcat[1]> help_livecduser:  I would suggest go back to windows and using the same tools make the part of the disk you want to use 'unallocated' .. then you can be pretty sure ubuntu is installing in the right place and nothing is being overwritten
[08:49] <Bdfoster89_> !patience | dew5
[08:50] <PND> help_livecduser, I would save data and partition it again with gparted or fdisk... But that's maybe pretty hard.
[08:50] <help_livecduser> zcat[1], would the live disc show me the unallocated space properly ?
[08:50] <alesan> hi how to get newest Thunderbird 3.0??
[08:51] <help_livecduser> PND, that means whole loads of backup n reinstalling windows 2 b safe.. :(
[08:51] <zcat[1]> help_livecduser:  yes, and it will give you the option of installing to the unallocated space...
[08:51] <help_livecduser> zcat[1], i m nt sure. bt windows wud allow me to just remove the partition ? i mean 2 make it unallocated ?
[08:52] <rolo> skype won't run on my 8.04 ubuntu linux. I have installed the skype-ubuntu-hardy_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_386.deb
[08:52] <Slart> alesan: If it was released just recently you'll probably have to wait for 10.04 before it shows up in the repos.. you could of course compile it from source but I'm not sure if the ubuntu people adds something special of their own to the regular ubuntu version
[08:52] <PND> help_livecduser, that's why it's a hard solution. Maybe there's something to do to "fix" it... But I won't do that with ubuntu, since it can't detect partition table. Follow the zcat[1] advice and use the Windows tool and try to fix it.
[08:52] <zcat[1]> Yes, just go back to disk management and delete the partiton you made and it'll show a big gap in the disk usage where it was...
[08:52] <PND> rolo, could you be more precise ? What the exact problem ?
[08:52] <help_livecduser> okay you guyz here for a while ? zcat[1] and PND ??
[08:53] <zcat[1]> nope, about to go to sleep ;)
[08:53] <randerzander> anyone familiar with morseall?
[08:53] <PND> help_livecduser, i'm here for about an hour.
[08:53] <help_livecduser> darn. k
[08:53] <richard_ma> PND: I know. bash will read the /etc/bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc by default, but you can use the --rcfile parameter to change the file which the bash readed.
[08:53] <help_livecduser> k would catcya later
[08:53] <rolo> PND: if I type "skype" at the terminal I get the following: skype: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQtNetwork.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZNK15QAbstracpSocket5atEndEv
[08:53] <help_livecduser> Thanks zcat[1] .. thanks :)

[08:55] <rolo> PND: E: Couldn't find package libqt4-network
[08:55] <PND> todor_, maybe that's not the good channel (it's not ubuntu related)
[08:56] <todor_> if this isn't the right channel then which channel is it?!
[08:56] <PND> rolo, oh, you're on 8.04... I'm on 9.10, maybe the packet's name wasn't the same.
[08:56] <PND> todor_, #linux ?
[08:56] <rolo> oh
[08:56] <PND> todor_, #kernel :p ?
[08:56] <relic420> ok, when i try to start kildclient
[08:57] <rolo> PND: Should I use synaptic to search for it?
[08:57] <relic420> i have a terminal window pop up now,
[08:57] <relic420> how can i make the terminal window not open?
[08:57] <PND> rolo, yes, you can do that.
[08:57] <PND> relic420, if you don't like the terminal window you can send it to another desktop.
[08:58] <relic420> Never mind fixed it.

[09:00] <ana_ubuntera> !paste
[09:00] <GarmaZed> I've searched the forums but so far no luck, could anyone help me please?
[09:00] <relic420> does linux install the best drivers for my cards?
[09:00] <PND> meowbuntu, check that link : http://embraceubuntu.com/2006/03/21/add-a-grub-splash-image/
[09:00] <relic420> or should i install the linux ati driver for my video card?
[09:01] <PND> GarmaZed, yes we can help you. What's your wireless card ,
[09:01] <GarmaZed> It's a USB card by Trendnet.  TEW-644UB.
[09:01] <PND> relic420, if you want the very last drivers, you should take it from ATI
[09:01] <relic420> Automated installer and Display Drivers for XFree86 4.3 and X.Org 6.7, 6.8, 6.9, 7.0, 7.1
[09:01] <PND> relic420, if you want no trouble and no terminal-related things, you should keep the ubuntu's restricted driver.
[09:02] <relic420> will this work on ubunutu gnome?
[09:02] <GarmaZed> When I run iwconfig in the terminal it does recognize the USB adapter.
[09:02] <PND> relic420, I guess it will.
[09:02] <relic420> what kind of trouble's could i have?
[09:02] <GarmaZed> But when I run iwlist scan it doesn't find any networks.
[09:02] <PND> GarmaZed, run "lsusb" in the terminal
[09:02] <farciarz84> no module named utils - what should I install?

[09:04] <lostinspace_46> Does anyone have an <sqlite3.6.16.pc> file they could dcc me with?
[09:04] <PND> kiwifunk, you can start a windows console (from the Windows install disk) and hit "fixmbr" or something like that in the console.
[09:04] <meowbuntu> ikonia, o you are tough thats great to see.
[09:04] <zcat[1]> kiwifunk:  boot the windows install disk, press 'r' at the appropriate time to get to the recovery console, and type 'fixmbr' at the prompt. also 'fixboot' might be a good idea too
[09:04] <rj1> fixmbr is awesome :D

[09:07] <alesan> Slart, many times there are alternative repositories like backports and so on; are you a new Ubuntu user?
[09:07] <PND> rolo, maybe one of your lib is corrupted or you don't have the good version.
[09:07] <relic420> what is Nautilus?

[09:08] <lostinspace_46> How are <filename.pc> files created?
[09:08] <rolo> relic420: nautilus is the program to explore the filesystem and other devices
[09:08] <PND> relic420, nautilus is the default gnome file browser.
[09:08] <om26er> relic420: file browser
[09:08] <relic420> ok thank you
