[03:29] <shazbotmcnasty> Hey there again, I cannot connect to localhost, and I have no idea how to fix this, I can ping localhost, but I can't http://localhost, or /connect localhost.
[03:29] <love_> it's fat partition
[03:29] <sebsebseb> m0r0n: your pastebin looks a bit odd,  were you trying to  add http://www.winehq.org repo for  Ubuntu ?
[03:29] <twig11> thiebaude: no. I installed Ubuntu on one internal drive, while leaving windows on the other. After importing user files from the Windows drive, I formatted it to EXT3. Now I just want to remove the entry from my boot menu. Is that the right selection to delete from menu.lst?
[03:29] <Necrogami> never mind
[03:29] <Necrogami> i stand corrected
[03:29] <Necrogami> it is ntfs
[03:29] <Necrogami> sorry guys
[03:30] <FloodBot1> Necrogami: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:30] <sebsebseb> !repos | m0r0n
[03:30] <m0r0n> sebsebseb:  Ok before I just make myself feel like more of a dumbass, mind explaining what the repositories are?
[03:30] <thiebaude> twig11, im not sure about that one
[03:30] <sebsebseb> m0r0n: just got the bot  to before I  read your message
[03:30] <Necrogami> Linux can;'t find the Drive at all
[03:30] <twig11> Will someone please take a quick look here http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3d321bd and tell me if I'm safe editing out everything included there from menu.lst if the windows partition no longer exists?
[03:31] <Necrogami> in the /dev folder the ONLY drive is SDA
[03:31] <sebsebseb> twig11: if you don't want to have an entry for Windows anymore,  just delete the entry for it from the file
[03:31] <mazda01> i just installed mythbuntu jaunty and all the letters and text is coming in screwed up and letters are garbled in words making them not words. it's the weird thing I've ever seen! the livecd works fine though?? any thought? I can't even try to fix itif it may be an xorg issue because the screen is unreadbable>

[03:32] <twig11> sebsebseb: I know. I'm trying to do that. I just want someone to double-check that I'm deleting only what I want to delete and no more. Can you do that?
[03:32] <danbhfive> m0r0n: repos are sources of software.  Its like going to a website to get programs, except its all done behind the scenes.  When you add a repo, the available software is listed in apt and synaptic along side your other programs

[03:35] <mehul_yadav> My Firefox Shuts Down Automatically.................can anyone solve this problem?
[03:36] <shazbotmcnasty> what are you doing while it shuts down?
[03:36] <mattwj2002> is it possible my nic doesn't support this?
[03:36] <mehul_yadav> surfing some sites
[03:36] <danbhfive> mehul_yadav: what site?
[03:36] <shazbotmcnasty> i figured so much.... what kind of sites?
[03:36] <mehul_yadav> facebook, zedge
[03:37] <shazbotmcnasty> do you have a video driver installed?
[03:37] <mehul_yadav> i cannot view youtube vidoes because it says adobe flash player not installed
[03:38] <shazbotmcnasty> install it...
[03:38] <Andorin> I downloaded a pack of .png images for a theme from here: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 Where do I stick them?
[03:38] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[03:38] <mehul_yadav> i have done this
[03:38] <mattwj2002> anyone know the answer to my problem?
[03:38] <mattwj2002> :-s
[03:38] <mehul_yadav> but its not working
[03:38] <sebsebseb> !find flash
[03:39] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: maybe you need that flash installer package instead
[03:39] <shazbotmcnasty> mehul_yadav, http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[03:39] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: search for Flash in synaptic and see what comes up
[03:39] <mehul_yadav> how do i get it?
[03:39] <dragonlotus> hi all, I'm trying to use a WPA2 passphrase to connect to a hidden wifi network at my house.  When I type the passphrase in, it matches the one displayed on my router page.  However, after trying to connect (and failing do to authorization) it spits back a huge string of hex.  Does my passphrase get converted to hex?  How can I stop this or is that supposed to happen?
[03:39] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav   shazbotmcnasty    ,best to get stuff like this form the repo, not directly from the website
[03:39] <sebsebseb> with the exception of 64bit
[03:39] <sebsebseb> since there's meant to be a really good version of  Flash for 64bit out there, which isn't in the repo
[03:39] <mehul_yadav> ok
[03:40] <shazbotmcnasty> I see.
[03:40] <mehul_yadav> which version do i go for ?
[03:40] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: 32bit or 64bit?
[03:40] <mattwj2002> !help

[03:40] <DiViN3> any idea any one
[03:40] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: open synaptic and search for Flash,  I think it's t he installer package you want or something like that
[03:40] <mattwj2002> !ad-hoc
[03:41] <Kai`> Is there a tool alreadt in Ubuntu to rar/unrar that I don't know about, or do I need to install 'rar' and 'unrar' packages?

[03:41] <Andorin> I downloaded a pack of .png images for a theme from here: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 Where do I stick them?
[03:41] <DiViN3> !bind9
[03:41] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: something has changed or try this even.  sudo apt-get install  ubuntu-restricted-extras  this will give people java, and  avi, and mp3, and such as well
[03:41] <danbhfive> m0r0n: what went wrong?
[03:41] <DiViN3> !bind
[03:41] <mehul_yadav> wait let me try
[03:41] <m0r0n> danbhfive:  It's saving as a html instead of a gpg? or whatever it is

[03:42] <hoonteke> anyone know what text browser I could install on a jeos installation?  lynx doesn't appear to be in the default distro repos ...
[03:42] <mazda01> i think I have an irq conflict. any suggestions how to fix? i ahev my nvidia card sharing a irq with one of my tv cards. i notice that irq 4 isn't even being used.
[03:42] <mattwj2002> hey does anyone know the easiest way to create an ad hoc internet sharing system?
[03:42] <sebsebseb> hoonteke: jeos????  Ubuntu based?
[03:42] <hoonteke> yesh
[03:43] <mattwj2002> using ubuntu?
[03:43] <hoonteke> yeah
[03:43] <mehul_yadav> there are many flash options on synaptic
[03:43] <sebsebseb> hoonteke: this channel is  for Ubuntu support, not other distros
[03:43] <Shinobi> hey, had to hard reset my computer after a program hung(ndiswrapper)during the shutdown the computer froze at the progress bar loadin down, after i held the power button down and restarted it, ubuntu wont load at all
[03:43] <sebsebseb> hoonteke: ,but  lynx  links  and I think there's another as well
[03:43] <hoonteke> sebsebseb: urm, isn't jeos based on ubuntu?
[03:43] <Andorin> I downloaded a pack of .png images for a theme from here: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 Where do I stick them?
[03:43] <thiebaude> mehul_yadav, adobe-flashplugin
[03:44] <sebsebseb> hoonteke: according  to  that person  yes, but  your not meant to come here and get support for Ubuntu based distros
[03:44] <sebsebseb> hoonteke: that person?  uh that was you as well
[03:44] <hoonteke> urm sorry.  I didn't realize that jeos didn't count.
[03:45] <sebsebseb> hoonteke: does jeos have it's own support channel?
[03:45] <hoonteke> nope
[03:45] <hoonteke> redirects to #ubuntu-jeos
[03:45] <hoonteke> and I'm the only one there
[03:45] <sebsebseb> hoonteke: oh well you can use ##linux   the general Linux channal
[03:45] <hoonteke> alright, ciao
[03:45] <mehul_yadav> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:45] <mehul_yadav> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:45] <mehul_yadav> Result for (sudo apt-get install  ubuntu-restricted-extras)
[03:46] <hoonteke> mehul_yadav: are you sure you haven't got another instance of apt running?
[03:46] <hoonteke> perhaps another synaptic, or apt-get from the command lne?
[03:46] <shazbotmcnasty> close the package manager mehul_yadav
[03:46] <mehul_yadav> am trying to install the flash components right now
[03:47] <mehul_yadav> by using the synaptic
[03:47] <shazbotmcnasty> okay, well wait until it's done, then close synaptic
[03:47] <hoonteke> only one instance of the package manager is allowed to run, either apt-get, or synaptic, or the add-remove program dialog.  In the background, they're all apt-get, and you only want one of those working on the database of installed osftware.
[03:47] <shazbotmcnasty> then do  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:48] <mehul_yadav> ok
[03:48] <shazbotmcnasty> or you can install that through synaptic as well...
[03:49] <stowaway> yo. im trying to mount my network drive so it mounts at startup. its a nas drive with a unix system. but im not sure of the file system.. how do i go about mounting it? when i try mount <IP_ADDRESS>:/volume_1 /mnt/nas  it says wrong fs
[03:49] <Andorin> I downloaded a pack of .png images for a theme from here: http://art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2 Where do I stick them?
[03:49] <mehul_yadav> sha256sum mismatch install_flash player_10_linux.tar.gz
[03:49] <mehul_yadav> The Flash plugin is NOT installed
[03:50] <thiebaude> mehul_yadav, maybe you should go to the adobe website and download the .deb for flash
[03:50] <shazbotmcnasty> it's never not worked for me that way, I suggest that, although other people disagree.
[03:51] <mehul_yadav> i tried downloading from the adobe website too
[03:51] <thiebaude> programs can be download to ubuntu using several ways
[03:51] <shazbotmcnasty> mehul_yadav, which one did you get?
[03:51] <mehul_yadav> but when i go for installing it
[03:51] <m0r0n> sebsebseb: danbhfive:  Thank you both. It's working
[03:51] <mehul_yadav> it says wrong architeture
[03:51] <sebsebseb> m0r0n: good and no probs :)
[03:51] <thiebaude> mehul_yadav, you got 64bit?
[03:52] <mehul_yadav> where do i get the 64-bit version of flash ?
[03:52] <mehul_yadav> i followed the link on youtube
[03:52] <sebsebseb> thiebaude  mehul_yadav   maybe the version of Flash in the repo is  good enough now even for 64bit
[03:52] <mehul_yadav> and then downloaded the ubuntu 8.04 version
[03:53] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, i agree
[03:53] <sebsebseb> thiebaude:   mehul_yadav  well really the repo Flash would be good enough for most
[03:53] <Andorin> Can someone please help me with installing a control theme for GNOME?
[03:53] <mehul_yadav> how to i get the repo flash?
[03:53] <thiebaude> mehul_yadav, did you enable 3rd party repositories?
[03:53] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: have you run  in  the termianl
[03:53] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[03:53] <mehul_yadav> yes i did run in the terminal
[03:54] <sebsebseb> no question mark
[03:54] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav:   and  no Flash still?

[03:54] <FloridaGuy> ? what causes firefox to close when it wants ?
[03:54] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: ok
[03:54] <sebsebseb> FloridaGuy: Firefox  or  Shiretoko ?
[03:54] <mehul_yadav> firefox
[03:54] <thiebaude> mehul_yadav, did you restart firefox?
[03:55] <mehul_yadav> doing it
[03:55] <mehul_yadav> trying to view youtube videos
[03:55] <thiebaude> ok
[03:56] <mehul_yadav> still i cant see the video......
[03:56] <FloridaGuy> sebsebseb, firefox
[03:56] <thiebaude> mehul_yadav, is it just a blank video?
[03:56] <sebsebseb> FloridaGuy: Firefox can be a bit bad under Linux, or well  Ubuntu at least
[03:56] <mehul_yadav> only difference now is that it did ask me to install flashplayer
[03:56] <sebsebseb> FloridaGuy: Flash maybe  got it close
[03:56] <Andorin> Can someone please help me with installing a control theme for GNOME?
[03:56] <thiebaude> mehul_yadav, yes
[03:56] <mehul_yadav> the part neat the video screen is blank white
[03:57] <mehul_yadav> with the video player absent
[03:57] <shazbotmcnasty> mehul_yadav, run firefox in terminal and see if it gives you any error messages when it closes
[03:57] <FloridaGuy> sebsebseb, think its all linux
[03:57] <mehul_yadav> how do i run firefox in the terminal?
[03:57]  * sebsebseb Flash can  cause quite a few  issues  with  Firefox  in Ubuntu
[03:57] <shazbotmcnasty> Andorin, don't you just drag and drop the file into the theme manager?
[03:57] <bruenig> mehul_yadav: run "firefox" in the terminal
[03:58] <sebsebseb> FloridaGuy: What do you think Linux is?
[03:58] <thiebaude> mehul_yadav, gksudo firefox
[03:58] <mehul_yadav> ok
[03:58] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: you don't,   it's a  graphical browser
[03:58] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: don't do what he suggested
[03:58] <Andorin> shazbotmcnasty: Maybe that would work if this came with an .xml file, but this is just a bunch of .png images and a gtkrc.txt file.
[03:58] <thiebaude> gksudo
[03:58] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: if you do that your basically running Flash as root,  and that's not good
[03:58] <sebsebseb> mehul_yadav: Flash I meant Firefox
[03:59] <n2diy> what could I do with a 650 mhz, 128 meg ram box?
[03:59] <shazbotmcnasty> I'd suggest just googling to hell and back
[03:59] <sebsebseb> !linux |  FloridaGuy
[03:59] <shazbotmcnasty> since no one is helping you here. And you've been asking for a while.
[03:59] <Andorin> shazbotmcnasty: I did. I got this. http://library.gnome.org/admin/system-admin-guide/stable/themes-3.html.en It doesn't really help.
[03:59] <mehul_yadav> ubuntu-restricted-extras is already the newest version.

[03:59] <sebsebseb> thiebaude: don't tell people to gksudo firefox
[04:00] <mehul_yadav> i already did it
[04:00] <FloridaGuy> sebsebseb, when i said all linux...i met firefox isent bad just in ubuntu...all distro's i use...
[04:00] <nevyn> n2diy: it would make a reasonable dev platform or a light web browsing box.
[04:00] <mehul_yadav> gksudo firefox
[04:00] <nevyn> n2diy: without more ram I'd avoid using it as a workstation tho.
[04:00] <sebsebseb> FloridaGuy: your not the first person to say something  like that, but hey  we can expect this,   Flash is closed source
[04:01] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, but dont you open graphical programs from the terminal with gksudo not sudo
[04:01] <sebsebseb> FloridaGuy: and from a company that dosen't  really care about Linux
[04:01] <oldude67> n2diy, would be one heck of a dsl box tho
[04:01] <n2diy> nevyn: ok, I have a test box already, but having two wouldn't hurt. I thinking of maybe a headless server?
[04:01] <ubuntu_> does mark shuttleworth ever get on here?
[04:01] <sebsebseb> thiebaude: yes, but only  programs that you have a reason to  do that to,  so not Firefox
[04:01] <shazbotmcnasty> Andorin, put them in /usr/share/themes/option-name/pixmaps/*.*
[04:01] <nevyn> n2diy: yeah that works
[04:01] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, cool , i didn't know that
[04:01] <sebsebseb> ubuntu_: there was  a question  and answer session with him  for  the Ubuntu 9.04  Open Week
[04:01] <shazbotmcnasty> or somewhere in ~/,themes
[04:01] <Andorin> shazbotmcnasty: I thought that the directory had to exist in order for that to work, but there's no pixmaps directory... I suppose I'll try creating it.
[04:01] <sebsebseb> !openweek  |  ubuntu_
[04:02] <ubuntu_> I was just currious
[04:02] <ubuntu_> ahh that bot knows everything

[04:02] <r3l1c> yeah it doesn't miss a trick
[04:02] <shazbotmcnasty> don't create one..
[04:02] <sebsebseb> ubuntu_: I thought there might be a factoid, but I think that factoid is a bit   outdated now
[04:02] <oldude67> !cookie | ubottu
[04:02] <mehul_yadav1> its still not working
[04:02] <sebsebseb> ubuntu_: I am looking forward to the Ubuntu 9.04 Karmic Koala Open Week though :)

[04:03] <ubuntu_> sebsebseb, i mean
[04:03] <sebsebseb> ubuntu_: uh 9.10  I meant.  see the website for more details, this is really off topic for this channal
[04:03] <n2diy> nevyn: ok, so I should go get a server version of Ubuntu? The server will be talking to two Xubuntu boxes, and maybe, and Windows box, so I'm going to go with a Xubuntu server version.
[04:03] <Guest69753> Alguien habla español?
[04:03] <shazbotmcnasty> !spanish
[04:03] <sebsebseb> ubuntu_: ,but it's soon after the release of 9.10
[04:04] <Kai`> Is there a built-in package to mount bin files?
[04:04] <mehul_yadav1> firefox went off when i was accessing hotmail
[04:04] <thiebaude1> changed chat clients
[04:04] <Entelin> is there any way I can get a list of all the software ive installed that does not get installed by default?  i'm redoing my box and I'd like to issue an apt-get on everything I need
[04:04] <mehul_yadav1> i think i will go for an upgrade to ubuntu 9.04
[04:04] <nevyn> n2diy: that should be fine...
[04:04] <shazbotmcnasty> Andorin, just drop it in /usr/share/themes or ~/.themes
[04:04] <draxo> is there a linux mint chan?
[04:05] <FloridaGuy> oh well i install opera 10 beta2

[04:05] <sebsebseb> !mint |  draxo
[04:05] <garyson> i can't open my trash bin, it says it's an unkown file. can someone tell me whats wrong?
[04:05] <ubuntu_> when is the release date for 9.10?
[04:05] <shazbotmcnasty> !9.10
[04:05] <n2diy> nevyn: ok, cool. When I'm done with the install, can I remove the vidieo card, and still have the box boot?
[04:05] <sebsebseb> draxo: hmm  their offical  channel  is  on another network I think
[04:05] <draxo> ooh
[04:05] <draxo> thanks
[04:05] <sebsebseb> ubuntu_: yeah go to #ubuntu+1 to talk about 9.10
[04:06] <Andorin> shazbotmcnasty: And after creating a pixmaps folder and dropping the files in there, then switching to the theme, I see no change.
[04:06] <sebsebseb> draxo: I think there's  #mint
[04:06] <kevdog> boys
[04:07] <sebsebseb> draxo: not for  the distro it seems oh well
[04:07] <draxo> nopers
[04:07] <r3l1c> Karmic works fine on my system
[04:07] <draxo> no worries
[04:07] <draxo> i'll find it
[04:07] <sebsebseb> !karmic |  r3l1c
[04:07] <draxo> i got a problem in mint that maybe you guys might be able to help me with
[04:07] <kevdog> How do I check the current topic of this channel?
[04:07] <komputes> Does anyone here use a graphical front-end to /etc/fstab?
[04:07] <nevyn> kevdog: /topic
[04:07] <r3l1c> sebsebseb:  I know, I use it.
[04:07] <sebsebseb> draxo: this channel is really  only meant to be for Ubuntu support,   and then obviously people go off topic here and there as well
[04:07] <kevdog> nevyn: thanks
[04:07] <thiebaude1> lol
[04:08] <komputes> kevdog: what irc app are you using?
[04:08] <nevyn> komputes: I use puppet...
[04:08] <sebsebseb> thiebaude1: what at what I put?
[04:08] <shazbotmcnasty> Andorin, /uar/share/NAME_OF_THE_THEME/pixmaps?
[04:08] <DocZetta> could I get a hand here? It's got to do with uninstalling GRUB.
[04:08] <kevdog> komputes: chatzilla
[04:08] <Andorin> shazbotmcnasty: Yes.
[04:08] <n2diy> komputes: I'm afraid to use anything with fstab, especially a gui that might not be mature.
[04:09] <shazbotmcnasty> well then, go inside the original file and find where the pictures for the theme are, and replace them with the ones that you've got
[04:09] <thiebaude1> sebsebseb: how do i change it, i switced over from xchat
[04:09] <thiebaude1> ?
[04:09] <ubuntu_> they don't like me either
[04:09] <shazbotmcnasty> that's what I would do, although it'd probably esplode my puter
[04:09] <sebsebseb> thiebaude1: change what?
[04:09] <kevdog> >-)
[04:09] <thiebaude1> sebsebseb: the 1 after my name
[04:09] <ubuntu_> i mean the #ubuntu+1
[04:09] <DocZetta> I know, I'm a total newbie here, but I'd like to uninstall GRUB and re-format my ubuntu partition.
[04:09] <shazbotmcnasty>  /nick thiebaude
[04:09] <sebsebseb> thiebaude1: switched over to what?  and  /knick
[04:09] <draxo> well it's a potential ubuntu problem too i would think. whenever i activate the restricted ati/amd fglrx driver and try to load up the "screen preferences" to change my resolution to dual screen it freezes on me. and the entire system just bogs until i restart
[04:09] <thiebaude1> yes
[04:09] <kevdog> thiebaude1: did you register your name with the nickserv?
[04:10] <sebsebseb> ubuntu_: I joined soon after I told you to join, but  I didn't see you put anything
[04:10] <komputes> nevyn: puppet is not graphical is it?
[04:10] <n2diy> DocZetta: so just re-install?
[04:10] <shazbotmcnasty> oh  burned
[04:10] <thiebaude1> kevdog:it was thiebaude on xchat
[04:10] <ubuntu_> DocZetta, are you wanting to reinstall windows or just reinstall ubuntu?
[04:10] <nevyn> komputes: not exactly.
[04:10] <shazbotmcnasty> sebsebseb, is smart
[04:10] <shazbotmcnasty> :4
[04:10] <shazbotmcnasty> :3*
[04:10] <thiebaude1> 1 sec
[04:10] <kevdog> What are you using now?
[04:10] <nevyn> it's more like a sysadmin programming framework...
[04:10] <DocZetta> I'm looking to remove ubuntu and install debian -- I'm having network issues with it that I can't kick.
[04:10] <sebsebseb> shazbotmcnasty: why do you think that?
[04:11] <kevdog> I need an alternative to unison
[04:11] <nevyn> komputes: why do you want a frontend to /etc/fstab
[04:11] <n2diy> kevdog: grsync.
[04:11] <draxo> !minthelp
[04:11] <shazbotmcnasty> the channel join thing, was just funny...
[04:11] <draxo> !mintsupport
[04:11] <komputes> nevyn: for a new user who I can't trust to run blkid and the update fstab himself
[04:11] <kevdog> n2diy:  How does it work?  rsync or something else?
[04:11] <DocZetta> but I wasn't sure how ubuntu would handle it, so I installed easyBCD and ran it, and reinstalled the vista bootloader.
[04:11] <DocZetta> so now I'm not even sure if it's safe to reboot.
[04:12] <komputes> nevyn: basically just to select a drive and have it mount at startup
[04:12] <ubuntu_> join what?
[04:12] <forces> !lts
[04:12] <n2diy> kevdog: yes, gui front end for rsync, I've been using it for two weeks now to mirror /home/me to my test box down stairs.
[04:12] <komputes> nevyn: something which i feel should be included in ubuntu (like right click on drive, proprties, then select that you wanted mouted at startup)
[04:12] <nevyn> komputes: so a user needs to add internal harddisks to his system..?
[04:12] <sebsebseb> shazbotmcnasty: sometimes I may join the channal if not already in it,  when I refer someone there,  to  see if others are helping with the issue,  and  possibily to assist with it myself
[04:13] <DocZetta> if anyone's wondering, I do not have a backup or bootable Vista 64 disk.
[04:13] <nevyn> komputes: how are the drives we're talking about connected?
[04:13] <DocZetta> just a hidden partition.
[04:13] <nevyn> DocZetta: those are evil!.
[04:13] <shazbotmcnasty> I still never got any damn help with localhost. Does anyone know how to unblock localhost, I'm trying to get bitlbee to work correctly, but localhost denies my connection.
[04:13] <komputes> nevyn: yep just to select a partition to mount at starup - internal drive (sata or ide)
[04:13] <kevdog> n2diy: Although I love the concept of rsync -- its really buggy for me -- seems to drop with large transfers -- meaning files that are really large.  Does this happen to anyone else?
[04:13] <DocZetta> nevyn: tell me about it. it's partly why I'm afraid to shut this off and reboot.
[04:13] <shazbotmcnasty> sebsebseb, it was kinda a joke, I was mocking ubuntu_
[04:13] <DocZetta> I'm in Vista 64 now.
[04:13] <komputes> nevyn: any way to do that other than editing fstab?
[04:13] <sebsebseb> shazbotmcnasty: oh  right, didn't pick up on that
[04:13] <ubuntu_> why am i being mocked now?
[04:14] <shazbotmcnasty> :)
[04:14] <thiebaude1> how do i change my nick?
[04:15] <n2diy> kevdog: I recall reading something like that, you might google it, I think there is a cli switch to limit transfer size, so you can span over a couple CDs, but I'm not sure of that?
[04:15] <DocZetta> but does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I don't want to be stuck in Vista, and this laptop is less than two months old.
[04:15] <gabisar> just type /nick an your nickhere
[04:15] <komputes> thiebaude1: just type in: /nick newname_here
[04:15] <komputes> lol
[04:15] <nickhere> wow
[04:15] <nickhere> that worked
[04:15] <nickhere> cool
[04:15] <gabisar> "ubuntu_ agora chama-se nickhere" lol
[04:15] <gabisar> yes he work
[04:16] <nickhere> what?
[04:16] <shazbotmcnasty> there you go
[04:16] <thiebaude> changed it
[04:16] <shazbotmcnasty> :D
[04:16] <nickhere> am i going to hell for using a phone with windows mobile on it?
[04:16] <shazbotmcnasty> yes
[04:16] <bazhang> !ot | nickhere
[04:17] <nickhere> and why was i being mocked earlier, what did i ever do to get mocked?
[04:17] <komputes> nevyn: i found external projects like pysdm and disk-manager which are frontends to fstab, but I was wondering if there was a way of doing it without installing extra packages
[04:17] <shazbotmcnasty> nothing. I was just making fun.
[04:17] <shazbotmcnasty> Forget it ever happened.
[04:17] <nickhere> nice...
[04:17] <sebsebseb> shazbotmcnasty: he didn't get to see that, since he got kicked
[04:17] <bazhang> nickhere, stay on topic
[04:17] <shazbotmcnasty> I noticed lol
[04:17] <dsdeiz> hello, what's the difference bet the under dev google chrome and chromium?
[04:17] <nickhere> what didn't i see?
[04:17] <nevyn> komputes: I don't know..
[04:17] <pehden> simple issue, i want filezilla ftp server i have the win base source any sulutions to compiling this for 8.04
[04:18] <komputes> ok
[04:18] <nevyn> dsdeiz: chromium is a game
[04:18] <nickhere> pehden, you are talking off topic since filezilla does not directly relate to Ubuntu...
[04:18] <dsdeiz> chromium-browser
[04:18] <nickhere> and neither does chrome or chromium..
[04:18] <pehden> i have ubuntu 8.10
[04:19] <bazhang> nickhere, it is in the repos
[04:19] <bazhang> nickhere, last warning
[04:19] <pehden> nickhere i am trying to compile it for ubuntu
[04:19] <nickhere> so is ubuntu one
[04:19] <kevdog> anyone used rdiff-backup?
[04:19] <n2diy> if I setup a headless server, does the video card have to stay in the box?
[04:20] <MK13> n2diy, no
[04:20] <pehden> bazhang im refering to the filezilla server
[04:20] <dsdeiz> i guess you're right nickhere
[04:20] <bazhang> pehden, why compile, filezilla is in hardy repos
[04:20] <ding_> kevdog, I use it quite a bit in automated fashion.
[04:20] <pehden> thats the client not the server
[04:20] <n2diy> MK13: cool, thanks.
[04:21] <kevdog> ding_:does it run ontop of rsync or is it a standalone utility?
[04:21] <jeremdow> IRC noob question - but I'm using pidgin with the purple plugins pack to chat here - is that a reasonable way to do IRC - or should I be using something else?
[04:21] <DocZetta> anyone have an answer?
[04:21] <pehden> bazhang thats the client not the server
[04:21] <bazhang> pehden, ah I see
[04:21] <nickhere> the ops are obviously unfair and unbalanced in this channel
[04:21] <dragon> how can i remove the config files associated with a package after i've removed the package itself?
[04:21] <ctmjr> n2diy: i second that what MK13  says
[04:21] <stormchas2000> nickhere  i agree with you
[04:22] <trask1> pidgin owns, if irc is all u use there or u hack around alot other clients can compete
[04:22] <ding_> kevdog, I believe it's implemented in python but that it does use rsync... a check on it's package dependencies should answer that one though...
[04:22] <bipul> hi
[04:22] <n2diy> ctmjr: ok, I better get to work then. tnx
[04:22] <dragon> !hi | bipul
[04:22] <MK13> n2diy, i would take my gpu outa my server but it is one w/ the mobo :)
[04:22] <bipul> thankyou
[04:23] <ding_> kevdog, it uses librsync1....
[04:23] <kevdog> How is rdiff any different than unison?
[04:23] <dragon> Is there a way to get rid of the config files after doing sudo apt-get remove <package>?
[04:23] <kevdog> ding_:  How is rdiff any different than unison?
[04:23] <bipul> actually i was trying find out a way to install jdk to my system and the netbeans
[04:24] <bipul> as i am new here in the field of linux please help me
[04:24] <dsdeiz> nickhere: do you by far know how to change the commands being run by dmenu?
[04:24] <donnybrasco> hello - I've started getting an error message when I boot my computer (and it seems to be running sluggishly all of a sudden).  The error reads "Enter password for default keyring to unlock - the application 'NetworkManager Applet (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked" can anyone help?
[04:24] <sebsebseb> dsdeiz: nickhere got muted or something I think
[04:24] <ding_> kevdog, unison is a two-way syncing utility. rdiff-backup is designed to keep a record of changes over time, so you can say, retrieve a directory or file from a certain date or number of days back in time...
[04:25] <jeremdow> trask1: thanks - I'm happy with it except being able to have multiple channels tiled - you can do it but trickier in ubuntu because you can't automatically tile the windows.
[04:25] <n2diy> MK13: the box I'm working on is a 650mhz machine, with a 128 m of ram. I'd rather be working on the 1200mhz, 256 m ram box, but, the video controller is dead on the MB, and I don't have a PCI card to drop in it.
[04:25] <ding_> I believe it also does some fancy footwork with hard links to save disk space
[04:25] <rafaelscj> i think my gprs connection is faster on ubuntu than on windows...
[04:25] <dsdeiz> sebsebseb: oh okay
[04:25] <kevdog> ding_: Ok I get the difference but does it choke with large file sizes like unison?  Sometimes with unison for me if I have a file that is like 100-200 MB in size (or bigger) the process chokes!
[04:26] <flanders> Is there anything more up to date than "wipe" and "secure-delete"? These two programs have not been updated for several YEARS. Isn't there a wipe tool that is more recent, and takes into account journaling filesystems and newer harddrive techonlogies?
[04:26] <roy_hobbs> Hey is there any way to minimize the main interface of NBR and get to the desktop behind? I see that there are icons there so I figure it is somehow useable
[04:26] <rb789> I am windows user, I am thinking of getting dell laptop with ubuntu, Is it something easy to learn?
[04:26] <pehden> any one have a sullution to my issue
[04:26] <sebsebseb> rb789: the learning curve isn't  that steep
[04:26] <flanders> roy_hobbs: You have to switch the desktop mode.
[04:26] <ding_> well, since it uses the rsync protocol, it will try to compute deltas. That's where the trouble can happen with large files... There's probably a way to turn off the delta computation aspect...
[04:26] <roy_hobbs> flanders: where/how?
[04:27] <rafaelscj> how to get the nameserver from an IP address?
[04:27] <pehden> rb789 it depends on your def of easy
[04:27] <flanders> roy_hobbs: Go to Preferences > Switch Desktop Mode
[04:27] <sebsebseb> rb789: if you have Ubuntu,  are there any Windows programs you would like to run in it?  if so which?
[04:27] <roy_hobbs> thanks
[04:27] <DocZetta> STEAM
[04:27] <shazbotmcnasty> steam runs in wine :3
[04:27] <flanders> roy_hobbs: I prefer the classic desktop mode, personally. I got tired of the Netbook desktop mode, and it uses extra RAM as well.
[04:27] <pehden> if anything you can test ubuntu with live cd
[04:27] <DocZetta> bah. I'm a noob. I haven't even had ubuntu a week yet.
[04:28] <pehden> rb789 make an iso and test it live without installing it
[04:28] <flanders> Did anyone see my question about current wipe software?
[04:28] <sebsebseb> !wine |  DocZetta   rb789
[04:28] <zherkehzi> Hey quick question. How much damage could a virus do to my ubuntu machine if it ran it's self through wine?
[04:28] <sebsebseb> zherkehzi: none at all
[04:28] <jeremdow> flanders: the netbook mode uses extra ram?
[04:29] <shazbotmcnasty> but yes, I think it's an easy thing to learn, there are many many websites, and a great community of people to help you if you don't understand something. rb789
[04:29] <sebsebseb> zherkehzi: Windows  viruses only infect Windows
[04:29] <zherkehzi> kewlbeans thanks!
[04:29] <sebsebseb> zherkehzi: also the virus may not work at all in Wine, or  only partially
[04:29] <pehden> rb789 sorry, you can burn ubuntu to disk or order it for free and test it out
[04:29] <sebsebseb> !virus |  zherkehzi
[04:29] <flanders> jeremdow: Yes, I noticed it. It is a couple extra processes, in of itself.
[04:29] <DocZetta> thanks sebsebseb, but I know what WINE is. :-P
[04:29] <zherkehzi> as well as the rest of .exe programs rofl
[04:30] <zherkehzi> thanks everybody
[04:30] <sebsebseb> zherkehzi: no probs
[04:30] <DocZetta> so...is it safe to restart this machine?
[04:31] <DocZetta> I'm not sure if GRUB is gone, and Linux is still on that partition.
[04:31] <DocZetta> I've used easyBCD.
[04:31] <DocZetta> any thoughts? :-/
[04:31] <rocko> hello
[04:31] <pehden> if a virus got into your wine it would only hurt wine installed programs
[04:31] <flanders> I mean, it's not a memory hog, only about 20 MB. So if you prefer the netbook launcher desktop, then keep it. I prefer the classic desktop mode, after getting tired of the rigid netbook desktop mode. Plus, it saves a bit of RAM as well, if you don't use it.
[04:32] <flanders> I don't mean to repeat unneccesarily, but:
[04:32] <flanders> Is there anything more up to date than "wipe" and "secure-delete"? These two programs have not been updated for several YEARS. Isn't there a wipe tool that is more recent, and takes into account journaling filesystems and newer harddrive techonlogies?
[04:32] <rocko> Is their a dimming app? for notebooks?
[04:33] <jeremdow> flanders: I'm just surprised, I use the classic desktop, but i would have assumed netbook mode would have a smaller memory footprint.
[04:34] <pehden> ubuntu 9.04 has that ability preinstalled
[04:34] <ExMachina> i found a cool hax, just type /quit whoever, and it'll quit them from irc
[04:34] <bruenig> jeremdow: nothing ubuntu has a small memory footprint
[04:34] <flanders> jeremdow:  It doesn't. It is an additional application running in the background.
[04:34] <lotus> ExMachina, why?  Why would you goof noobs?
[04:35] <stovice1> ExMachina: bored much?
[04:35] <ExMachina> in other news, how those linux ATI drivers coming along?
[04:35] <rocko> Looking for a dimming app (easy peasy...on vaio)
[04:35] <ExMachina> I'm debating between a GTX 260 and a 4850, with the 4850 being about $70 cheaper
[04:35] <flanders> rocko: It's built in to Ubuntu.
[04:36] <nicros_> anyone get the Intel GMA 500 working in Ubuntu Jaunty yet?
[04:36] <nicros_> Dell mini 10
[04:36] <psywiped> get the gtx
[04:36] <psywiped> better drivers
[04:36] <nicros_> gtx?
[04:36] <DocZetta> I'm on the GMA 4500, nicros_ -- works fine. don't see why 500 wouldn't, though it's old as dirt.
[04:36] <nicros_> it's new
[04:37] <nicros_> very new
[04:37] <pehden> um like , filezilla ftp server how to install from source please
[04:37] <richardcavell> Is it possible to connect to irc using empathy?
[04:37] <rocko> flanders says dimming is built in....so, how can I manually manipulate?
[04:37] <nicros_> its the HD Video card for the dell mini 10
[04:38] <lotus> richardcavell, I've heard it supports all the pidgin protocols, but I have no experience.
[04:38] <stanley_> hey guys I can't play DVD's even after installing the appropriate packages...is there somethign else I am supposed to do?
[04:39] <lotus> stanley_, I suggest looking into VLC
[04:39] <shazbotmcnasty> I agree.
[04:39] <richardcavell> lotus: well which protocol is it?
[04:39] <shazbotmcnasty> vlc is king
[04:40] <kevdog> anyone have an acer one aspire netbook?
[04:40] <tsrk_> is /root being accessible by root only a new thing in 9.04?
[04:40] <lotus> richardcavell, like I said I have no experience using empathy.  I just know pidign supports IRC.  The protocol is "IRC" iirc hahaha
[04:40] <richardcavell> lotus: there's no IRC
[04:40] <tsrk_> lotus, what's iirc stand for?
[04:40] <richardcavell> lotus: if i recall correctly
[04:40] <tsrk_> lotus, and lotus notes sucks
[04:41] <tsrk_> ah
[04:41] <pehden> um like , filezilla ftp server how to install from source please repeat 1
[04:41] <pe2> hi, I've changed with sudo -s to root in the terminal. how I can swith back to my normal user?
[04:41] <tsrk_> thank you richardcavell
[04:41] <stanley_> lotus I have vlc that doesn't play them either
[04:41] <tsrk_> pe2, ctrl-d
[04:41] <kevdog> pe2: exit
[04:41] <richardcavell> pehden: if you want to know about installing from source I suggest connecting to #slackware
[04:41] <richardcavell> pehden: they are used to that sort of thing
[04:41] <Entelin> ive got a sblive (emu10k) soundcard, its known good. however interestingly, when recording it seems to lock up, ive got two of the same exact card, and two different computers both running ubuntu, same results in any combination.  when recording in audacity for example it will briefly record, and then cease recording
[04:41] <pe2> kevdog: thanks
[04:41] <Entelin> subsequent recording attempts will cease working completely
[04:41] <lotus> stanley_, I dunno.  I know there's media repositories and stuff, you're sure you downloaded the right packages?  Search google for ubuntu dvd codecs
[04:41] <kevdog> pehden:  Compiling from source is easy
[04:42] <lotus> richardcavell, I'm not sure why, empathy homepage says it supports IRC
[04:42] <kevdog> pehden: Have you ever done any installing from source before?
[04:42] <richardcavell> lotus: I know but I can't see which protocol
[04:42] <stanley_> lotus...ok then, I downloaded and installed everything i was told to on the documentation
[04:42] <richardcavell> lotus: anyway I'm happy with xchat
[04:43] <GodfatherofEire> Say, is there any way to get a sort of kernel compatibility layer, to cause different hardware to be recognized (with lesser capabilities than what is actually present), by a host operating system?
[04:43] <kevdog> Why is creating a bz2 tar archive so slow??  Rhetorical question
[04:43] <lotus> richardcavell, I use xchat ftw :)  pidgin has too many pop-up windows (nameserv, all the greet bots, etc)
[04:43] <richardcavell> kevdog: it just is
[04:43] <pehden> kevdog the source is set for windows, from what i have read in the code
[04:43] <lotus> stanley_, got me, someone else might know more sorry
[04:44] <stanley_> lotus: thanks anyway man
[04:44] <richardcavell> kevdog: I tried backing up my internal hard disk to a bz2 file and could have fallen asleep waiting for it.  It's not much smaller than gzip
[04:44] <richardcavell> kevdog: that is to say, the resulting image is not much smaller with bz2 than with gz
[04:45] <pehden> kevdog thats why im here i new to this
[04:45] <ojai> does anyone know how to disable ipv6 in jaunty?
[04:45] <kevdog> I just aborted bz2 creation and am going with gz -- Hopefully its faster
[04:45] <kevdog> pehden:  Why do you want filezilla anyway -- linux has better utilities
[04:46] <ojai> used to be easy by commenting out the line in /etc/modprobe.conf/aliases back in the day but doesn't like that file exists anymore
[04:47] <kevdog> Yea this gz archive creation is faster!!!
[04:47] <kevdog> Thanks for tip!!!
[04:48] <nickhere> pehden, why do you want to disable ipv6?
[04:48] <pehden> kevdog like its set up
[04:48] <zherkehzi> Has anyone else had problem's with compiz in 8.04? It's been crashing after I change something, and then reboot
[04:49] <kevdog> pehden:  Ok but better start liking another programs setup as well
[04:49] <voss> zherki, I just turned compee off ;-)
[04:50] <pehden> kevdog I tried vsftp i leked its simpleness but it wouldnt let me upload to it or have users the way i wanted
[04:50] <zherkehzi> ok. I thought I was screwing it up somehow due to my noobish self
[04:50] <kevdog> pehden: What about ssh and winscp?
[04:50] <nicros_> how do i download the public key for the ppa repos?
[04:51] <voss> zherki, Its eye candy, not necessary for ubuntu functioning
[04:51] <ghee> hey guys, in permissions hell, though must be a simple problem.  vfat line in fstab is /dev/sda10 /media/DATA vfat utf8,user,umask=022 0 1.  works fine for sudo but permission denied user.  any ideas?
[04:51] <bazhang> https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Adding%20a%20PPA%27s%20keys%20to%20your%20system nicros_
[04:51] <ultraz> quiet in here.
[04:51] <ultraz> :-)
[04:51] <ultraz> hm...
[04:51] <nicros_> thanks
[04:51] <zherkehzi> echo
[04:51] <voss> Personally I just wish ubuntu did not compiz by default
[04:52] <pehden> kevdog winscp
[04:52] <zherkehzi> my computer does not want to reboot after compiz installation
[04:52] <bullgard4> When has GNOME 2.24 been released?
[04:53] <zherkehzi> not that it's old
[04:54] <meatweep> ?DCC SEND "ff???f?" 0 0 0\
[04:55] <pehden> kevdog what is that
[04:55] <Proh> What's that software again, which you use to boot ubuntu from flash drive ?
[04:55] <zherkehzi> bullgard4: I believe in sept 08. I may be wrong
[04:55] <Proh> ubuntin or something
[04:56] <bazhang> Proh, unetbootin
[04:56] <Proh> lol yeah thanks
[04:56] <bullgard4> zherkehzi: Thank you.
[04:56] <zherkehzi> bullgard4: thank google. lol
[04:56] <nickhere> proh...
[04:56] <Proh> yes?
[04:57] <nickhere> it is easier to boot into the live cd and install it using the  usb startup disk creator
[04:57] <bazhang> nickhere, he may be using windows atm
[04:57] <Proh> yeah, that's correct ^^
[04:57] <ghee> hey guys, in permissions hell, though must be a simple problem.  vfat line in fstab is /dev/sda10 /media/DATA vfat utf8,user,umask=022 0 1.  works fine for sudo but permission denied user.  any ideas?
[04:57] <bazhang> unetbootin has one for windows iirc
[04:58] <zherkehzi> bullgard4:I just checked, sept 24, 08
[04:58] <gasull> Hi all.  Is there any way to run a Mac OS Widget on Linux?  Thanks.
[04:58] <nickhere> bazhang, can't he still boot into the live cd without harming windows?
[04:58] <zherkehzi> to be exact
[04:58] <bazhang> gasull, in kde4?
[04:58] <bullgard4> zherkehzi: Very good, thank you again.
[04:58] <gasull> bazhang: gnome
[04:58] <bazhang> nickhere, sure, but he wants unetbootin
[04:58] <bazhang> gasull, doubtful with gnome, kde4 can iirc
[04:59] <nickhere> I was just trying to offer an easier solution :-)
[05:01] <dport> Can anyone offer some FTP server help?
[05:02] <cjae_> ok I had to remove my normal user login user due to mistakes during lvm creation, but I have the user recreated but need to know how to add them to sudo and any other group I need
[05:02] <dport> i'm using filezilla and want to create an FTP server to share music with a couple of friends
[05:03] <cjae_> I used adduser from cli
[05:03] <voss> dport, all creative commons music im sure
[05:03] <misfit_00_M> does anyone know how to change the screen size on a netbook?  I have a netbook with 8.9" screen but appears for some reason UNR is using 10" setting and can't see any of the borders.  Thoughts?
[05:04] <dport> its all music that i've personally made
[05:06] <ultraz> I used to have Thinkpad T42, and was running Ubuntu for a long time on it, and i remember fan working non stop, after that i switched to Dell Latitude runing Ubuntu where fan worked fine. Recently i got Thinkpad T60 and i am having the same issue, once the fan start it never stops. Is this issue known or?
[05:07] <voss> ultraz, may be an issue with the t-60 fan assembly
[05:07] <BellinXFelon> can someone help me with my external usb hd i cannot write to it
[05:07] <nickhere> BellinXFelon, is it write protected?
[05:08] <BellinXFelon> nickhere : no i dont think so
[05:08] <BellinXFelon> nickhere : i just had it working and now it went back to not letting me write to it
[05:08] <nickhere> hmm
[05:08] <nickhere> ever plug it into a windows machine?
[05:10] <ultraz> voss: and T42?
[05:11] <ultraz> voss: It looks to me like Ubuntu has issue with Thinkpads.
[05:11] <voss> ultraz, perhaps
[05:12] <cjae_> !adduser
[05:12] <iwobbles> mm I had a few issues with my think pad ultraz keyboard problems & usb
[05:13] <iwobbles> but after a few updates it seemed to have fixed most issues
[05:13] <voss> ultraz, fan assemblies can be a problem with older thinkpads
[05:13] <mechtech> Hey...I think I need a little help...I just opened a folder full of e-books via the gui, and the progress wheel just keeps spinning, and not all the files are appearing...is this a problem, or should i just be more patient?
[05:15] <phyrrus> hello
[05:16] <voss> ultraz, generally thinkpads run linux very well
[05:16] <voss> I hate these new prius commercials ;-)
[05:16] <mechtech> IBM makes good hardware
[05:16] <phyrrus> same
[05:16] <Annath> I hate commercials in general
[05:16] <phyrrus> lol
[05:16] <zherkehzi> mechtech:What i would do is a force-quit and try again
[05:17] <CaptWho> how do i do a su in 9.04?
[05:17] <mechtech> zherkehzi: force quit what?
[05:17] <mechtech> and how?
[05:17] <mechtech> please
[05:17] <CaptWho> i set up a user password when i installed the system, but it didn't have me use a root password
[05:17] <voss> What is Linux Mint considered in relation to Ubuntu , a variant, a spinoff or a derivative product?
[05:17] <hoonteke> CaptWho: you use sudo
[05:17] <zherkehzi> Well try to click the exit button, then it should ask you to Wait, or Force quit
[05:18] <hoonteke> CaptWho: $ sudo su -
[05:18] <hoonteke> then type your user password
[05:18] <nickhere> linux mint is like the long lost cousin...
[05:18] <zherkehzi> Then click force quit. But I mean, whatever you think
[05:18] <mechtech> CaptWho: to perform commands as root, use sudo...never really want to login as root
[05:18] <voss> Mint 7 is 9.04 with a bunch of tweaks
[05:19] <aurilliance> afternoon all. q: I have a music cd that works in my cd player, but doesn't mount when put into my laptop's dvd drive... I'm guessing it's because the cd is protected / scratched a bit? Could someone clear this up for me? thnx
[05:19] <KE7TMA> i am a relative newb to ubuntu
[05:19] <KE7TMA> it's been years since i learned linux
[05:19] <mechtech> how to force quit?
[05:19] <KE7TMA> i wanted a fakeraid so i used server, not i am in the process of bootstrapping a desktop from it
[05:19] <coleys> ste
[05:19] <CaptWho> thanks much hoonteke
[05:19] <KE7TMA> how do i use apt to install the ubuntu DESKTOP package?
[05:19] <hoonteke> CaptWho: no worries, but listen to mechtech as well.
[05:20] <zherkehzi> mechtech: You can also add the force quit button to your panel. Right click on panel, then click add to panel,
[05:20] <CaptWho> why cam
[05:20] <CaptWho> oops
[05:20] <zherkehzi> then search for force quit. then click Add.
[05:20] <KE7TMA> you can also kill a task from the system monitor
[05:20] <CaptWho> why shouldn't i log in as root?
[05:20] <KE7TMA> because
[05:20] <KE7TMA> it's easier to screw up the system
[05:20] <danbhfive> KE7TMA: do you want the package or the full desktop that is installed by the installer?
[05:20] <KE7TMA> cat walks across the keyboard
[05:20] <KE7TMA> dan
[05:21] <KE7TMA> i installed the ubuntu-desktop metapackage
[05:21] <KE7TMA> but i still have the server kernel
[05:21] <KE7TMA> my goal is a mythbuntu setup
[05:21] <mechtech> zherkehzi: thanks...is there a keystroke for that?
[05:21] <KE7TMA> but, i want to have gnome as well,
[05:22] <KE7TMA> the damned thing is that i managed it once before
[05:22] <KE7TMA> but bad ram caused that installation to fail mysteriously
[05:22] <kbp> why is there no virus on *nix system?
[05:22] <zherkehzi> mechtech: I'm sorry, I dont understand. What do you mean by keystroke?
[05:22] <KE7TMA> kbp
[05:22] <danbhfive> KE7TMA: yeah, you gotta install linux-generic
[05:22] <KE7TMA> ahhhhhhhhh
[05:22] <KE7TMA> nice
[05:22] <aurilliance> kbp: because it's soo good
[05:23] <mechtech> zherkehzi: like <ctrl><alt>delete in win, or <Command><option>esc in Mac OS
[05:23] <trollaxor> hi. i was wondering if anyone ever noticed any versions of ubuntu throwing up random terminal sessions with text inside.
[05:23] <mazda01> having troubles with scp. i am trying to copy some files from a ssh server. i am typing in this.    ssh dan@server:/User/folder/folder   but scp is merely returning options to me like I am not using the right syntax. can someone help me please?
[05:23] <KE7TMA> yeeeeeeehaw
[05:23] <KE7TMA> that seems to be the trick
[05:23] <KE7TMA> thanks a million
[05:23] <kbp> aurilliance: it's not the main reason...
[05:23] <KE7TMA> i got an hdhomerun
[05:23] <mechtech> trollaxor: ouch
[05:23] <KE7TMA> i used to have a fuckin windows media center pc
[05:23] <KE7TMA> my wife won at the state fair
[05:23] <phyrrus> lol
[05:24] <danbhfive> !virus > kbp
[05:24] <phyrrus> fail
[05:24] <KE7TMA> i let the smoke out with bad ram
[05:24] <toyimp> gr, well I did something to mess up my x-server. Now working from a clean install of ubuntu.. again -.-
[05:24] <KE7TMA> xserver?
[05:24] <mechtech> !language | KE7TMA
[05:24] <zherkehzi> mechtech: I don't think so, but If you add it to your panel, it's just as easy. you click on it, then click on the program you want to force quit. Then boom! programs gone
[05:24] <KE7TMA> xserve?
[05:24] <KE7TMA> ah  sorry
[05:24] <mazda01> i am using this site for examples. and it appears that it should be working.  http://help.ischool.washington.edu/faqs/30_32_en.html
[05:24] <zherkehzi> mechtech:let me check the keyboard shortcuts. one secound
[05:24] <mechtech> zherkehzi: I did that and it worked great, and this time, my file browser didn't freeze...thanks a lot
[05:25] <KE7TMA> well you guys have been most helpful
[05:25] <kbp> ubottu doesnt explain why there is no virus on Linux
[05:25] <KE7TMA> to tell the truth i'm more of a mac, freebsd, solaris kind of guy
[05:25] <mechtech> xserve is apple's bsd based rackmount server product
[05:25] <KE7TMA> but none of those will drive my new atom's onboard video accelerator
[05:25] <KE7TMA> yeah
[05:25] <KE7TMA> running linux on a mac
[05:25] <james_> join #webos-internals
[05:25] <KE7TMA> is kind of like a fish riding a bicycle
[05:26] <mechtech> kbp: I got a virus infected file yesterday from a torrent I downloaded
[05:26] <zherkehzi> mechtech: no problem. but sorry there's no keystrokes for force quit. I checked. For regular quit there is ALT+4.
[05:26] <KE7TMA> if you want your xserve to be like linux there are a hundred ways to do it
[05:26] <voss> mech, what os?
[05:26] <KE7TMA> sheeeewt
[05:26] <mechtech> zherkehzi: thanks a lot
[05:26] <KE7TMA> or run linux inside virtualbox
[05:26] <Xodiac13> i am trying to get wireless on my laptop it works in 9.04 but my video card isnt supported in that version i am using 8.10 with antheros chipset can someone help me get my wireless card working
[05:26] <KE7TMA> give it say half the processors
[05:26] <richardcavell> !intel-microcode
[05:27] <KE7TMA> i have a mac pro here
[05:27] <mechtech> KE7TMA: actually Apple's OSes are ALL Free BSD based now, and frankly it's the best software on this planet
[05:27] <KE7TMA> i know
[05:27] <KE7TMA> actually
[05:27] <voss> xodiac, what type of computer is it?
[05:27] <KE7TMA> apple's "os x" used to be called nextstep in the 80s
[05:27] <Xodiac13> mechtech: sorry to bother you i need help with my wireless card i have the atheros chipset
[05:27] <mechtech> KE7TMA: oops...thought you were dogging Mac OS
[05:27] <KE7TMA> and it is in fact based off BSD unix
[05:27] <KE7TMA> with a mach microkernel
[05:27] <KE7TMA> the userland and a lot of the system is freebsd
[05:28] <KE7TMA> but with a different driver model and a totally different kernel
[05:28] <KE7TMA> i know
[05:28] <mechtech> Xodiac13: no bother...what symptoms?
[05:28] <KE7TMA> it feels like freebsd though
[05:28] <Xodiac13> mechtech: i would like to get wireless going on this laptop so i dont have to have it wired
[05:28] <jipsy> how can i restart my settings??
[05:28] <richardcavell> Does anyone know anything about the intel-microcode package?  Whether it should be installed and if so, how to use it?
[05:28] <omegamormegil> kbp:  Viruses exploit security vulnerabilities in the software they attack.  Linux has less vulnerabilities, and when they are found they are patched.  Also, people writing viruses want to go after Windows because it's so much more commonly used.  They get more bang for their buck.
[05:28] <KE7TMA> i am saying
[05:28] <KE7TMA> why run linux on an xserve?
[05:28] <KE7TMA> just run os x
[05:28] <KE7TMA> and virtualbox
[05:28] <trollaxor> why run linux on a mac?
[05:28] <voss> mechtech, I think OS/X is good but overrated
[05:28] <Xodiac13> mechtech: it i looked in the hardware and it installed the atheros wlan so i pretty sure wireless should work
[05:29] <KE7TMA> yes
[05:29] <trollaxor> http://www.trollaxor.com/2003/04/why-run-linux-on-mac.html
[05:29] <mechtech> Xodiac13: is it giving you errors, or you need to know where to start?
[05:29] <jipsy> mawning penguins....how can i restart all my settings??
[05:29] <richardcavell> trollaxor: I'm using Linux on a Mac right now
[05:29] <KE7TMA> i submit that running linux on a mac is pointless
[05:29] <KE7TMA> why?
[05:29] <KE7TMA> i am not trying to flame here
[05:29] <Xodiac13> mechtech: i need to know where to start what programs i can use to easily connect to my router
[05:29] <KE7TMA> but hardware support is better anyway
[05:29] <roy_hobbs> Hey I got an EEEBuntu NBR problem. I accidentally rotated the screen at one point, now every time i boot up it rotates, I can't undo the setting
[05:29] <KE7TMA> and os x is not too obtrusive
[05:30] <mechtech> voss: a little off topic, but if you find a bug, I'd like to know...we have four macs around here, and I used to work for Apple
[05:30] <mechtech> Xodiac13: iwconfig
[05:30] <trollaxor> mechtech what was your job at apple
[05:30] <Xodiac13> mechtech:k
[05:30] <cjae_> !info newuser
[05:30] <richardcavell> !info intel-microcode
[05:30] <KE7TMA> i wish gnustep had ubuntu backing
[05:30] <mechtech> trollaxor: tech support for OS X, OS 9.2 and iMac
[05:30] <kbp> omegamormegil: thank you :) I just worry about the programs I installed through apt-get (repositories). Did anyone check/try it before make it available for people to use?
[05:30] <omegamormegil> jipsy:  for what application?  The settings for a given application are usually stored in a hidden folder or file (which starts with a period) in your home folder.
[05:30] <trollaxor> ouch
[05:30] <KE7TMA> ubuntustep
[05:30] <KE7TMA> that would be way cool
[05:31] <Xodiac13> mechtech: it says no wireless extenstions
[05:31] <KE7TMA> beats the pants off gnome anyway
[05:31] <albech> what can cause many domains not to load properly when not using the ISPs DNS servers?
[05:31] <Xodiac13> mechtech: is that good or bad
[05:31] <albech> not load properly = not load at all ;)
[05:31] <Soulguard> hey ifi try to ./configure clutter on 9.04 it starts complaining about missing GLX Headers (using it in an vmware envirement but hou can ik enable these missing headers
[05:31] <cjae_> what groups do I need to belong to when creating a new user, that make it the same as the user created during installation?
[05:31] <KE7TMA> can you do accelerated x in vmware?
[05:31] <mechtech> Xodiac13: lemme research...doesn't sound good...have you re-loaded or re-booted since you installed the drivers for your wireles card?
[05:32] <KE7TMA> i would assume you need to install their "guest extensions" or whatever they call them
[05:32] <Xodiac13> mechtech: it says in the hardware that its activated and i made sure the switch is on when i done have the ethernet port in it has 2 computers together on top right
[05:32] <Soulguard> i dont know gues not
[05:32] <omegamormegil> kbp:  The files coming through apt-get come from one place, which is much more secure than having to download every program from a different website.  You can generally consider them to be very safe.  If you are really paranoid, you can also opt to stick with the main Ubuntu server, as opposed to a mirror.
[05:32] <zenlunatic> cjae_: sudo it i believe adduser needs root
[05:32] <zherkehzi> !cluster managment
[05:32] <trollaxor> !gay
[05:32] <psywiped> !rtfm
[05:32] <Xodiac13> mechtech: it was already activated when i did a clean install
[05:33] <toyimp> Are people still having problems with the 2.6.28-14 kernel?
[05:33] <bazhang> trollaxor, stop that psywiped you too
[05:33] <mechtech> Xodiac13: ok...hang on
[05:33] <Xodiac13> mechtech: okay
[05:33] <psywiped> wtf is jfgi?
[05:33] <trollaxor> stop what
[05:33] <bazhang> trollaxor, psywiped /msg ubottu
[05:33] <trollaxor> can i /queery it instead
[05:34] <Gos> jfgi ==just fing google it
[05:34] <psywiped> ah ok
[05:34] <toyimp> lol
[05:34] <trollaxor> ;p;
[05:34] <Xodiac13> lol
[05:34] <Gos> i had to google that to find out
[05:34] <psywiped> nice
[05:35] <nickhere> ubottu, is far from intelligent...
[05:36] <zherkehzi> !intelligent
[05:36] <psywiped> slow night
[05:36] <bazhang> take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[05:36] <trollaxor> anyone know anything about ubuntu 9.04 changing wallpaper all by itself?
[05:38] <artillerytx> i keep getting this e-mailed to me any one know why ? - http://paste.ubuntu.com/240807/
[05:38] <BellinXFelon> can someone help me with my usb external hd
[05:38] <omegamormegil> trollaxor:  What did it change to?
[05:39] <trollaxor>  pink ♂ symbols superimposed over images of innocent-looking, shirtless teenage boys engaged in certain acts.
[05:39] <mechtech> what's wrong with floodbot?
[05:39] <nickhere> whats with the floodbot?
[05:40] <mechtech> trollaxor: how did you make the "male" symbol?
[05:40] <bazhang> trollaxor, that is not appropriate here
[05:40] <Xodiac13> mechtech: is there a way to get wlan on my laptop
[05:40] <nickhere> plug your network cable in Xodiac13
[05:40] <trollaxor> bazhang: are you some kind of nanny? im describing my problem as accurtately as i can without being explicit. this is really starting to freak me out and i need help.
[05:41] <Xodiac13> mechtech: im on the laptop
[05:41] <Xodiac13> mechtech: with the ethernet cable
[05:41] <Xodiac13> nickhere: i did
[05:42] <nickhere> and that didn't work?
[05:42] <Xodiac13> nickhere: im trying to get wlan on my laptop
[05:42] <mechtech> Xodiac13: yes...synaptic package manager...system>administration>synaptic>search for "wlan" choose appropriate packages and apply changes
[05:42] <nickhere> you mean wifi?
[05:42] <Xodiac13> mechtech: okay
[05:42] <mataks> can someone help me with the workspaces.. when im move to the next workspace i can still see my open application in my previous workspace.. which is workspace 2 should be empty space right.. why is that
[05:43] <Xodiac13> mechtech: which one do i choosde
[05:43] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  Going to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers may be an easier way of getting your wifi working.  It tries to autodetect what you need to have installed.
[05:43] <nickhere> mataks, no you should be able to see them in the little space
[05:44] <mechtech> Xodiac13: Ihonestly don't know...I use iwconfig
[05:44] <Xodiac13> mechtech: k
[05:44] <kevdog> heloo
[05:44] <zherkehzi> this irc channel does seem slower than usual.
[05:44] <nickhere> my fie worked by default
[05:44] <Xodiac13> omegamoregil: im just trying to get my wireless going
[05:44] <mataks> nickhere,  desktop1 and desktop2 have the same application open when i choose any of them
[05:44] <donnybrasco> Anyone know how to route my audio to my bluetooth headset (i903)?
[05:44] <nickhere> wifi*
[05:45] <kevdog> waaaaaaaay slooooooooowwww
[05:45] <zherkehzi> its so slow that......
[05:45] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  That's generally what the Hardware Drivers tool is used for.  Wifi, and also getting graphics cards working better.
[05:45]  * kevdog senses a yo mama joke coming!
[05:45] <nickhere> right click on the program in the task bar and make sure you have "only visable on this workspace" selected
[05:45] <zherkehzi> ......
[05:45] <mechtech> mataks: go to compizconfig settings manager...go to general options...desktop size...horizontal virtual size should be however many desktop environments you want, number of desktops should read 1
[05:46] <donny__brasco> Anyone know how to route my audio to my bluetooth headset (i903)?
[05:46] <mataks> mechtech,  ok i'll try
[05:46] <zherkehzi> ... it's slow
[05:46] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: im trying to find a program that i can use to make it easier to connect that actually shows me the network connections but i dont know what that program is can you help me im looking in the synaptics package manger and i typed in wlan
[05:47] <coleys_> sdf\
[05:48] <mataks> mechtech,  it's already 1.. number of desktops.. but still same application on my panel
[05:48]  * Atreus hates coming here every few weeks, askign for help
[05:48] <mechtech> mataks: so, you have the same windows open on your second desktop as your first?
[05:49] <mataks> mechtech,  nope the windows are not open.. just this tab in the panel..  same applications in the panel
[05:49] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  The program you want to use is the Network Manager Applet on your panel.  If the panel applet doesn't display any wifi connections that means you need to install the drivers.  Do you see that applet?  If you are using a wired connection it probably looks like a black computer monitor.
[05:49] <jordan> ?
[05:49] <Atreus> My computer simply won't boot my 9.04 CD.  it'll boot the 8.something CD fine, but freezes while installing, and downrigth passes over the CD when it's 9.04.  any suggestins?
[05:49] <kevdog> Atreus:  Try alternate cd
[05:50] <bazhang> Atreus, sounds like a bad burn
[05:50] <ipsk> how to view .dwg files autocad files in ubuntu
[05:50] <Atreus> kevdog, bazhang: i've tried two burns
[05:50] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: yes i see it but when i take out the ethernet cable it displays two computers with and orange x on the right bottom side
[05:50] <bazhang> Atreus, md5 the iso, burn very slowly, do the disk integrity check
[05:50] <mataks> mechtech,  for example i open xchat,firefox and audacious in desktop1 ... when i move to desktop2.. those programs are on my panel.. ..
[05:50] <mechtech> mataks: Ooooh!  I think it's supposed to be that way...for instance, I had a bunch of files sitting in my desktop folder...their icons were on all of my desktops...see what I mean?
[05:50] <zherkehzi> You know, the more viruses windows get's the less people want to use it. Upside for ubuntu
[05:50] <bazhang> Atreus, if the iso is corrupt that wont matter
[05:50] <Atreus> bazhang: also downloaded it twice, separately
[05:50] <mataks> mechtech, it's not the icon.. it's the tabs
[05:51] <Atreus> and burned ont he slowest speed
[05:51] <Atreus> 8x
[05:51] <bazhang> Atreus, and md5'd it?
[05:51] <ipsk> how to view .dwg files autocad files in ubuntu
[05:51] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  Yes, that's what I'd expect.  If you click it, does it give you a "Wireless Network" section?
[05:51] <mechtech> mataks: oh...just a sec...yeah, actually...same here
[05:51] <Atreus> don't think so, unless PowerDVD does it automatically
[05:51] <kevdog> atreus - check the signature or md5  -- or just try the alternate cd
[05:51] <Temlar_Xion> join #sql
[05:51] <ipsk> how to view .dwg files autocad files in ubuntu
[05:51] <bazhang> !md5 | Atreus check this
[05:52] <mechtech> mataks:  like, I have xchat in the upper right on both desktop panels
[05:52] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: no it doesnt its odd is there a program i need to install or something
[05:52] <Atreus> bazhang: thankies
[05:52] <mataks> mechtech,  hehe.. i think something to do with the reflection maybe.. or not..  before it isn't like this until i play something on compiz
[05:52] <donnybrasco> trying to route my audio to my bluetooth headset using bluez - anyone know how to do it?
[05:52] <kevdog> !ubottu
[05:52] <Atreus> bazhang: immediate problem, i has no ubuntu
[05:52] <mechtech> !desktop
[05:53] <mechtech> !flavors
[05:53] <kevdog> !Enlightenment
[05:53] <mataks> mechtech,  maybe you're talking about the xchat tray icons. hehe it should be there but the tabs im worried about.
[05:53] <jipsy_> there something wrong with my laptop..1st. desktop effects cannot be enabled 2.when i minimized my windows it closes!!
[05:53] <kandjar> hi there, I rescently installed ubuntu 9.04... everything seemed ok, until I tried to run a video in firefox.. it doesn't work
[05:53] <mechtech> mataks: explain tabs please *feeling stupid*
[05:54] <kandjar> has anybody encounter this issue and/or have a fix for it?
[05:54] <zherkehzi> can the netbook edition of ubuntu be ran on a regular laptop?
[05:54] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  You probably need to install the drivers for your wifi.  A lot of wifi cards don't work out of the box, because there are legal restrictions on how the drivers can be distributed.  Ubuntu has the Hardware Drivers tool to try to help people get this type of hardware working.  Did you try it?
[05:54] <bazhang> kevdog, please /msg ubottu to reduce channel noise
[05:54] <kevdog> Ok
[05:54]  * Atreus curses loudly and kicks his BIOS
[05:54] <GodfatherofEire> kandjar, do you ean like, a youtube video?
[05:54] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: where do i start
[05:54] <jipsy_> there something wrong with my laptop..1st. desktop effects cannot be enabled 2.when i minimized my windows it closes!!
[05:54] <kandjar> GodfatherofEire: yeah
[05:55] <kevdog> >-)
[05:55] <kandjar> or ign video
[05:55] <mechtech> Atreus: careful, you'll get your foot stuck in eprom
[05:55] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  Go to System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[05:55] <Rum17> Hi
[05:55] <GodfatherofEire> kandjar, go into synaptic and install the flash nonfree plugin
[05:55] <kandjar> I see the big triangle with a circle around, I press it (kind of a big play button) and the screen stay black
[05:55] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: okay
[05:56] <mataks> mechtech,  ahhmm i don't know if it's tab  or task manager.. hehe i think it's task manager that can switch between running application
[05:56] <GodfatherofEire> kandjar, open synaptic and find and install flash-plugin-nonfree, I believe it is
[05:57] <ecret> I am unable to record audio in flash.  I tried 10 and 9.  I am able to record in audacity/wavplayer.  I read that there is issues with it and you can change the index of the alsa-base to fix it but I am new at this and have no clue.  I tried trial and error and failed.    http://pastebin.ca/1514544            Can someone please take a look?
[05:57] <mataks> jipsy,  type this in terminal.. "sudo apt-get bati-kog-nawng" and reboot
[05:58] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: its up i have hardware drivers windows up
[05:59] <bazhang> mataks, what is that
[05:59] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  Does the window list any drivers in the box?  (Are you running Ubuntu 9.04?)
[05:59] <GodfatherofEire> kandjar, sorry, its flashplugin-nonfree
[06:00] <Xodiac13> omegamoregil: yes it does there is one called atheros 802.11 wlan and its activated
[06:00] <OhioEric> hi everyone
[06:00] <nickhere> whats up EricOhio
[06:00] <OhioEric> nm
[06:00] <m0r0n> Ubuntu isint loading as fast as it use to, anyone know what I can do to solve this before it becomes worse
[06:01] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  Do you know what version of Ubuntu you are running?
[06:01] <byte_me__> m0r0n:reinstall. works for me. haha
[06:01] <nickhere> i have to fart
[06:01] <OhioEric> lol
[06:01] <byte_me__> yey
[06:01] <nickhere> whoops wrong channel
[06:01] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  Was it active when the window first popped up?
[06:01] <Xodiac13> i am running ubuntu 8.10 its perfect because my video card works and i have installed 9.04 it had my wireless working but im am going to use 8.10
[06:02] <Xodiac13> omegamoregil: uh no it had a x
[06:02] <Xodiac13> omegamoregil: orange x
[06:02] <Ademan> how can i list the files that belong to a package on the command line?
[06:02] <nickhere> do you know what version of ubuntu I am running?
[06:02] <mechtech> nickhere: 9.04?
[06:03] <mechtech> that's the latest
[06:03] <linuxguy2009> Ademan: Does it have to be on the CLI? Cause synaptic makes that realy easy.
[06:04] <DaZ> linuxguy2009, ...
[06:04] <linuxguy2009> DaZ: You need some help there?
[06:04] <DaZ> no, thanks
[06:05] <bazhang> nickhere, lsb_release -a in the terminal
[06:05] <kyppcgeek> Linux Mint is AWSOME!
[06:05] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  Alright.  Check the network-manager applet to see if it is detecting wireless networks now.  If not, you might want to try restarting the computer.  If that doesn't work, there was a bug in Ubuntu 8.10 with getting some Atheros cards working and you need to install the linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic package to make it work.  You can search for it in the Synaptic Package Manager you had open previously.
[06:05] <linuxguy2009> hehe ok? hehe
[06:05] <Gnea> kyppcgeek: relevence?
[06:05] <bazhang> !mintsupport > kyppcgeek
[06:05] <Ademan> linuxguy2009: ah, yeah, that works, although for the future i'd definitely like to find out how to do it from the command line...
[06:05] <OhioEric> ive wanted to try linux mint before. never got around to it
[06:05] <toyimp> Some flash generic ubuntu flash player just got installed from firefox. Is there anyway that I can remove it?
[06:05] <nickhere> lsb_release -a
[06:06] <Gnea> Ademan: dpkg --contents /path/to/file.db
[06:06] <mataks> help pls my workspace1 and workspace2 have the same running applications in task manager. why is that?
[06:06] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: okay i will just install the package
[06:06] <toyimp> I have the name of it from the about:plugins
[06:06] <Eric_J1> Hello
[06:06] <nickhere> Xodiac13, because those programs are still running
[06:06] <OhioEric> how is everyone tonigt
[06:06] <Eric_J1> Can someone help with a weird sound card issue?
[06:07] <Purpley> hey guys i have a question
[06:07] <Gnea> mataks: you have the applications set to be visible on any desktop
[06:07] <kyppcgeek> ubuntu is on my server. linux mint is on my desktop
[06:07] <mechtech> oot, click options, select KDE and continue
[06:07] <Xodiac13> nickhere: what
[06:07] <mechtech> oops
[06:07] <mataks> Gnea, where can i change the settings?
[06:07] <Purpley> Everytime i move these certain files to the trash they come back to my desktop
[06:07] <Purpley> ive also tried putting them in a folder
[06:07] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  Let me know if it works.
[06:07] <Gnea> kyppcgeek: please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic then
[06:07] <Purpley> and they apparently make copies
[06:07] <Purpley> and goto my desktop
[06:08] <Gnea> mataks: right-click on any of the applications
[06:08] <Purpley> and im sure there not viruses
[06:08] <Ademan> Gnea: ah thanks
[06:08] <Purpley> as im not sure how someone goes about infecting a pdf file
[06:08] <kyppcgeek> um. both run same commands. i am watching posts here and learning
[06:08] <Purpley> and ive already ran a virus scan
[06:08] <Eric_J1> can anyone give me some advice on my sound card issue?
[06:08] <nickhere> just because you are in a different virtual desktop, it doesn't mean those programs cease to exist when you are on another desktop
[06:08] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: okay
[06:08] <mechtech> Pupley: I had an infected pdf yesterday
[06:09] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: should i restart my computer after i get the package
[06:09] <Purpley> anyone have an idea?
[06:09] <Purpley> mechtech
[06:09] <mataks> Gnea,  it's only in workspace1.. the checkbox is only on workspace1 not  _ all workspace.. i think this is in compiz
[06:09] <kyppcgeek> Eric: ?
[06:09] <Eric_J1> Okay, my sound was fine about two days ago
[06:09] <Purpley> Well to be honest i know how you do infect a pdf file
[06:09] <mechtech> Purpley: yes
[06:09] <Purpley> its just that
[06:09] <mechtech> ?
[06:09] <Eric_J1> then I get on today
[06:09] <Gnea> mataks: does it still occur when you turn compiz off?
[06:09] <Eric_J1> and I have no sound
[06:09] <Purpley> I doubt someone would infect this type
[06:09] <Purpley> and
[06:09] <Purpley> its multiple files
[06:09] <kyppcgeek> loose cord?
[06:09] <Ademan> does anyone know of the best way to get new kernel versions in jaunty? I want to get 2.6.30 at least, (really i'm looking for a PPA)
[06:09] <Eric_J1> I go to sound preferences after trying to unmute and it gave me an error
[06:09] <Gnea> !enter | Purpley
[06:09] <kyppcgeek> no power?
[06:09] <mataks> Gnea, don't know.. how to turn off compiz?
[06:10] <Eric_J1> it showed no default devices
[06:10] <omegamormegil> Xodiac13:  I'd check network manager first.  Sometimes it just starts working without a restart.  If it isn't working yet try the restart.
[06:10] <Gnea> mataks: desktop effects
[06:10] <Eric_J1> lspci recognizes the card
[06:10] <Xodiac13> omegamormegil: okay i didnt see anything i will restart brb
[06:10] <mechtech> Purpley: seems like it's acting like a virus
[06:10] <Purpley> I know
[06:10] <kyppcgeek> Eric: Alsaconf?
[06:10] <m0r0n> Ubuntu isint loading as fast as it use to, anyone know what I can do to solve this before it becomes worse
[06:10] <Eric_J1> it was
[06:10] <Purpley> But Ive heard linux is a hard OS to infect
[06:10] <Purpley> and ive ran a virus scan
[06:10] <mataks> Gnea, is that in compiz?
[06:10] <rodimus_> can someoen pleaze tell me what the green dot in the corner of my screen is?
[06:11] <Purpley> although they might slip away
[06:11] <moymoy> Ademan: there probably isn't any PPA available.. you can try looking for deb files.. there's a great guide to compiling your own, i'll link you in a second (i used this guide myself)
[06:11] <Gnea> m0r0n: remove the packages you've installed since then that make it run slower
[06:11] <gmachine24> Purpley, it's mostly that people don't try to infect Linux
[06:11] <Purpley> Because its not easy
[06:11] <Gnea> mataks: no, click on System->Preferences->something
[06:11] <mechtech> Purpley: not hard to infect...infections are rare...most viruses are written to compromize windows, but Mac OS and even linux can still get infections just as easily
[06:11] <moymoy> Ademan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[06:11] <m0r0n> Gnea: But they don't load on start, how could that make a difference?
[06:11] <Gnea> (i forget what something is at the moment)
[06:11] <gmachine24> Purpley, no, because they target MS because it's the biggest and the baddest
[06:11] <kyppcgeek> infect linux? lmao ftl
[06:11] <linuxguy2009> rodimus_:  Probably pidgin sitting there. You can change your status.
[06:12] <Eric_J1> anyone have any idea how to solve this?
[06:12] <gmachine24> Purpley, the first big viruses in the U.S. hacked Unix systems
[06:12] <Gnea> m0r0n: I don't know what programs you've installed... what version of ubuntu are you on?
[06:12] <Eric_J1> it was fine and then it just went crazy
[06:12] <rodimus_> linuxguy2009, how come they didnt come up with something that looks better?
[06:12] <rodimus_> like a real icon.
[06:12] <BellinXFelon> how come i don't have any audio output in konqueror?
[06:12] <mechtech> gmachine24: more like, if you infect windows machines, you're more likely to get business critical systems to break
[06:12] <rodimus_> instead of green dot
[06:12] <m0r0n> Gnea: Jaunty
[06:12] <Gnea> kyppcgeek: do you have anything constructive to add to the conversation?
[06:12] <linuxguy2009> rodimus_: If you dont like it, dont use it. Simple.
[06:12] <nomad77> Purpley: if you want reassurance try installing chkrootkit,and,rkhunter and see what results are
[06:12] <Ademan> thanks moymoy
[06:12] <gmachine24> mechtech: Indeed.
[06:13] <Purpley> Im aware of that, its not hard to infect ubuntu im just simply saying all of these files downloaded from different sources apparently are doing the same thing
[06:13] <Gnea> m0r0n: k, where does it seem to be loading slow?
[06:13] <Purpley> I would think it would be something else causing this
[06:13] <kyppcgeek> anything show up in the control center for sound Eric?
[06:13] <Eric_J1> kyppcgeek: the sound preferences?
[06:13] <gmachine24> ZeroDay
[06:13] <m0r0n> Gnea: Before when I logged in everything was set, now it takes 10sec or so
[06:13] <kyppcgeek> yes
[06:13] <moymoy> Ademan: no problem
[06:13] <Eric_J1> nothing - the section for Default Devices is just blank and unclickable
[06:14] <Eric_J1> before I had 3 or 4 options
[06:14] <Gnea> m0r0n: what happens if you make a new account and login with it? does it login slow or fast after the first time?
[06:14] <mechtech> Purpley: the files are probably not infected, they might be doing what an unrelated virus is telling them to do...or that your trash is puking because a virus has made it ill
[06:14] <omegamormegil> Purpley:  It's much more likely to be a bug or a screwy setting than a virus.  Try Shift+Delete.  This bypasses the recycle bin with no hope for recovery.
[06:14] <Purpley> gmachine24, they hacked unix systems because they were the only thing around that is useful
[06:14] <Eric_J1> one was realtek, one was my sound card, one was my graphics cards, and one was OSS
[06:14] <kyppcgeek> terminal -> soundconf or alsaconf
[06:14] <Purpley> thanks omegamormegil
[06:14] <mataks> Gnea,  same.. i turn off compiz but still i can see running application in all workspace
[06:14] <m0r0n> Gnea: Let me try, also how do I 'kill' a program via Terminal
[06:14] <Eric_J1> one sec
[06:14] <gmachine24> Purpley, yes, I know.
[06:14] <Purpley> and worth their time
[06:14] <Gnea> mataks: and if you logout/login?
[06:15] <Purpley> if windows machines were around they would be attacked
[06:15] <Gnea> m0r0n: kill -9 pid   (get pid:  ps axf | grep programname
[06:15] <Eric_J1> it said neither were commands
[06:15] <jipsy_> hellpp everytime i minimize my windows i lost my windows
[06:15] <kyppcgeek> how do I mount an iso as a cd in linux?
[06:15] <Purpley> i forget that command
[06:15] <bazhang> !iso > kyppcgeek
[06:15] <Purpley> lmao
[06:15] <Gnea> kyppcgeek: mkdir isocd && sudo mount -o loop file.iso isocd/
[06:15] <moymoy> jipsy_: did you delete anything from your panels?
[06:15] <gmachine24> One of the first major viruses was by the son of a top security guy at DARPA. That was kind of embarassing.
[06:16] <Purpley> fail lol
[06:16] <gmachine24> but I digress
[06:16] <Purpley> But then that makes sense because he would have more insight to what he was up against
[06:16] <Eric_J1> kyppcgeek: is there another command to try?
[06:16] <moymoy> gmachine24: does the son and father work together, at least?
[06:17] <gmachine24> moymoy: this was like ..............25 years ago
[06:17] <skreech> Can anyone help with an nvidia resolution issue ?
[06:17] <moymoy> gmachine24: did*
[06:17] <gmachine24> and no I think the kid was in college
[06:17] <Gnea> !resolution | skreech
[06:17] <linuxguy2009>  skreech: Ask your question
[06:17] <BellinXFelon> how can i view the source of a webpage if source viewing is disabled?
[06:17] <Eric_J1> anything?
[06:17] <Gnea> BellinXFelon: turn off javascript
[06:18] <BellinXFelon> Gnea : thank you
[06:18] <m0r0n> Gnea:  Can't seem to figure that comman out
[06:18] <Purpley> hey guys who basically started linux again?
[06:18] <moymoy> BellinXFelon: sources is ALWAYS available ;) otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see the page
[06:18] <gmachine24> linus torvald
[06:18] <g-dawg-ghetto-bo> wow...
[06:18] <mechtech> Linus Trovalds
[06:18] <Purpley> thanks man
[06:18] <g-dawg-ghetto-bo> where?
[06:18] <BellinXFelon> moymoy : :)
[06:18] <g-dawg-ghetto-bo> he is like a God!
[06:18] <Purpley> i agree
[06:18] <Purpley> i read a bio on him
[06:18] <g-dawg-ghetto-bo> where is he?
[06:18] <g-dawg-ghetto-bo> does he speak english?
[06:19] <gmachine24> yes
[06:19] <Purpley> Yes?
[06:19] <moymoy> of course he does
[06:19] <gmachine24> he's a scandinavian of some sort
[06:19] <mechtech> Finland...finnish
[06:19] <skreech> The nvidia driver updated itself somehow without me asking it anything and changed my xorg.conf to some setting with a refresh rate outside of the monitor's range. I found that and fixed it but now I can't get any resolution higher than 640x480. The normal dpokg-reconfigure doesn't work, nvidia-config doesn't work nvidia-settigns doesn't work editing and adding the modelines by hand doesn't work
[06:19] <omegamormegil> btw Linux is specifically a reference to the kernel.  A bunch of the rest of what we lump together as "Linux" was written by lots of different people.
[06:19] <Gnea> m0r0n: well, you need to get the PID of the program - just:  ps axf   by itself and you'll see where it's listed
[06:19] <linuxguy2009> skreech: Do you have the nvidia driver from the repos or manually installed from nvidia.com?
[06:19] <moymoy> skreech: the command is nvidia-xconfig .. and it has to be run by root
[06:20] <skreech> repos
[06:20] <omegamormegil> Linus only works on the kernel.
[06:20] <moymoy> that's what we call GNU/Linux
[06:20] <skreech> moymoy: Right xconfig andyes root otherwise it can't make the xorg.conf
[06:20] <omegamormegil> or Ubuntu :)
[06:20] <Eric_J1> all right, I think I got something
[06:20] <linuxguy2009> skreech: have you tried disabling teh driver, rebooting and then re-enable it?
[06:20] <moymoy> GNUbuntu/Linux =]
[06:20] <skreech> linuxguy2009: Yes if you mean what I think you mean
[06:21] <Eric_J1> I ran lshw -C sound, and it showed me that both the Realtek and the Creative Labs cards are "unclaimed"
[06:21] <jahocolips> I'm getting Grub error 17, i did sudo fdisk -lu and i get /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 (/dev/sdb1 has Linux on it, sdb2 is Extended) I can't figure out what I should do
[06:21] <Eric_J1> any idea how to fix that>
[06:21] <mechtech> take the creative one...quick!
[06:21] <mechtech> LO
[06:21] <mechtech> l
[06:21] <Eric_J1> I think it's because of my running virtual box then deleting it when I was done
[06:21] <Purpley> oh that reminds me
[06:21] <linuxguy2009> skreech: After you disable it, then reboot what resolution is your monitor using?
[06:21] <Wolvez> does anybody knows a program to convert mp3 to m4r in ubuntu ?
[06:21] <Purpley> Hey guys is there a way to do something similar to a system restore?
[06:21] <skreech> 640x480
[06:22] <linuxguy2009> Wolvez: You mean m4a?
[06:22] <Gnea> Wolvez: you wanto to convert audio to video?
[06:22] <linuxguy2009> Wolvez: m4a<> mp4?
[06:22] <Wolvez> linuxguy2009, nopz, m4r
[06:22] <mechtech> Purpley: you could copy your kernel to a safe place
[06:22] <linuxguy2009> I mean AAC
[06:22] <omegamormegil> Wolvez:  VLC probably does it, but I haven't checked.  It will transcode just about everything.
[06:22] <Wolvez> this is a format for ringtones (apple)
[06:22] <aicra> ffmpeg
[06:22] <Wolvez> thanks, lets try :)
[06:22] <linuxguy2009> Wolvez: Sound Converter from add/remove is a great transcoder app.
[06:22] <skreech> Purpley: snapshot the filesystem
[06:23] <Purpley> ahh never mind what im thinking of is impossible
[06:23] <skreech> linuxguy2009: Actually I just rolled back the driver to 173 instead of 180
[06:23] <Purpley> When I installed linux I overwrote an encrypted bootloader
[06:23] <mechtech> adios
[06:23] <skreech> Purpley: probably not :)
[06:23] <skreech> ah no that's probably hosed then
[06:23] <Purpley> So i was wondering if i could restore everything so it was as if linux was never installed and the bootloader was still there
[06:24] <Purpley> But linux overwrote it
[06:24] <StupidPigeon> linux has a funny way of doing that
[06:24] <skreech> linuxguy2009: You meant drop to VESA?
[06:24] <skreech> all OSes have a funny way of doing thta.a it's the only way they can be used
[06:24] <omegamormegil> Purpley:  doubtful
[06:24] <linuxguy2009> skreech: I know nothing of VESA
[06:25] <skreech> linuxguy2009: What did you mean then?
[06:25] <m0r0n> Gnea:  My other account log in fast
[06:25] <linuxguy2009> skreech: Is your driver fixed?
[06:26] <omegamormegil> Purpley:  Unless you manually backed up your boot sector before installing Linux, or imaged your hard drive.
[06:26] <Gnea> m0r0n: then you've got something in your home directory that's chewing up hard drive space
[06:26] <skreech> what do you mean fixed?
[06:26] <Purpley> So im stuck with linux but to be honest after a week or two of getting used to it; its not that bad its actually alot better considering the fact although not as many programs are available for ubuntu than windows it makes up for that with its speed and reliability
[06:26] <skreech> I would guess so It's the one I was using before nvidia went nuts
[06:26] <linuxguy2009> skreech: Forget it, I cant help you.
[06:26] <skreech> But now I can't set my resolution
[06:26] <skreech> even if I set it manually then it still only gives me the option of 640x480
[06:27] <Purpley> omegamormegil, I backed up the bootloader but for some reason when i inserted it, it was a ubuntu live cd how ironic considering the fact i could never find where i placed my live cd :)
[06:27] <Eric_J1> okay last question - how do I revert my linux kernal?
[06:27] <skreech> Eric_J1: reboot and choose the old kernel
[06:28] <Eric_J1> not sure if this will work, but on the forums, it said that was where their issues lay
[06:28] <Eric_J1> brb
[06:28] <ecret> I am unable to record audio in flash.  I tried 10 and 9.  I am able to record in audacity/wavplayer.  I read that there is issues with it and you can change the index of the alsa-base to fix it but I am new at this and have no clue.  Itried trial and error and failed.    http://pastebin.ca/1514544            Can someone please take a look?
[06:29] <linuxguy2009>  ecret: Youyr trying to record audio to flash format?
[06:29] <m0r0n> If I have Transmission running on another account but I just click switch user, will it keep torrenting?
[06:29] <skreech> yes
[06:29] <sy1> hello?
[06:29] <sy1> A/S/L
[06:29] <ecret> linuxguy2009: trying to use ustream to record audio for example or use flexbuilder to make a recorder
[06:30] <skreech> !hi | sy1
[06:30] <sy1> I have a problem
[06:30] <sy1> my ubuntu does not want to slepp nor standby
[06:30] <linuxguy2009> ecret: I have no clue what ustream or flexbuilder are. Im clueless.
[06:30] <sy1> it can do sleep and standby
[06:30] <sy1> but i will not wake up
[06:31] <linuxguy2009> sy1: How are you attempting to wake it up
[06:31] <professor_> have a look through dmesg and /var/log/messages for any errors around the dates and times you tried
[06:31] <ecret> some flash sites supports recording live audio, cant get it working in ubuntu
[06:31] <sy1> i press the key board
[06:31] <linuxguy2009> sy1: Does the PC start to respond at all?
[06:31] <sy1> or mouse
[06:31] <sy1> no
[06:31] <linuxguy2009> sy1: Not sure but have you tried the power button instead?
[06:32] <sy1> just a blank screen with a flashing '_'
[06:32] <sy1> flashing underscore
[06:32] <linuxguy2009> sy1: Yeah i figured. umm
[06:32] <linuxguy2009> sy1: 9.04?
[06:32] <sy1> yes
[06:32] <linuxguy2009> sy1: All current updates?
[06:32] <sy1> yes
[06:33] <linuxguy2009> sy1: Has it ever worked on that machine before with 9.04 installed?
[06:33] <omegamormegil> sy1:  I had the same problem before.  Suspend works great for me in the next version.  I believe that in Jaunty, I can't suspend when I have an SD card in my internal card slot.
[06:33] <sy1> i thought if it was acpi
[06:33] <sy1> setting
[06:34] <sy1> not really linux guy
[06:34] <sy1> so this is bug inside jaunty ?
[06:34] <sy1> maybe it is the mainboard problem
[06:34] <linuxguy2009> sy1: Hard to say, might be incompatible hardware. 8.04 LTS has had many updates might work better if you really need those features.
[06:35] <sy1> since power acpi is related to apm
[06:35] <skreech> Does anyone know what would cause the resolution to be ignored inside of the xorg.conf ?
[06:35] <brEz> anyone know if you can ssh to ubuntu running on virtualbox from windows?
[06:35] <sy1> ok linux guy
[06:35] <sy1> thanks
[06:35] <sy1> uh
[06:35] <sy1> another problem tho
[06:35] <FloodBot1> sy1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:35] <muji> ihi
[06:35] <sy1> i have installed firefox 3.5.1
[06:35] <moymoy> brEz: it's possible
[06:36] <sy1> but the problem is that the right click does not work ?
[06:36] <professor_> skreech: if monitor resolution is not detected and / or coded in to xorg.conf?
[06:36] <brEz> why is it so damn hard than :) ?
[06:36] <moymoy> brEz: you probably have to open the ssh port on windows as well
[06:36] <linuxguy2009> sy1: Right click doesnt work for what exactly?
[06:36] <brEz> I have
[06:36] <skreech> professor_: No both occured and I still only get 640x480
[06:36] <moymoy> brEz: do you have sshd installed?
[06:36] <brEz> 22/22 is open on my router/windows/ubuntu
[06:36] <brEz> sure do :)
[06:36] <professor_> anything informative in the x log?
[06:37] <moymoy> can you ssh localhost?
[06:37] <brEz> I used to ssh to ubuntu all the time, and just found virtualbox, so i instaled it on my main pc :)
[06:37] <sy1> inside firefox 3.5
[06:37] <omegamormegil> brEz:  Does the virtual Ubuntu box have it's own IP address on your LAN?
[06:37] <brEz> omegamormegil: yes
[06:37] <sy1> so i uninstalled and installed again the 3.0.12
[06:37] <linux> hello
[06:37] <sy1> and then it works why is it like that ?
[06:37] <linuxguy2009> sy1:  What are you trying to use the right mouse button for in ff ?
[06:37] <brEz> on the virtualbox, i can ssh -l user -p 22 localhost
[06:37] <brEz> and it connects, but when I try via putty.... no dice ;o
[06:38] <xhres2> hey guys
[06:38] <skreech> professor_: can't find the monitors EDID module is the only thing I can think of
[06:38] <xhres2> just a quick question?
[06:38] <omegamormegil> Do you see in on the network from your windows machine?
[06:38] <moymoy> brEz: have you ifconfig to see what your LAN ip is?
[06:38] <sy1> for the normal open new link thing
[06:38] <brEz> yes
[06:38] <professor_> that has been a problem for me in the past but not recently
[06:38] <skreech> ask  | xhres2
[06:38] <linuxguy2009> xhres2: dont ask to ask. Just ask.
[06:38] <professor_> did you change monitors?
[06:38] <professor_> anything else changed or is this a new install?
[06:38] <skreech> professor_: Nothing changed except Ubuntu
[06:38] <xhres2> will using shred once to zero fill a hard disk ensure enough safty to send it for replacement
[06:38] <professor_> please look through xorg.conf and advise of anything unusual too
[06:39] <professor_> google your monitor brand and model + ubuntu too - see if something pops up
[06:39] <moymoy> brEz: give me your WAN .. mayhaps I can try to connect to see if there's any luck =p (jk)
[06:39] <xhres2> skreech: are u using an nvidia graphic card?
[06:39] <moymoy> brEz: don't know what to say.. can't help you
[06:39] <professor_> some monitors have poor EDID implementations
[06:39] <linuxguy2009> xhres2: unless you have illegal child porn or secret FBI files. Dont worry about it.
[06:39] <omegamormegil> brEz:  You could try running nmap on Ubuntu's IP to see if port 22 is open.
[06:39] <ShapeShifter499> HI
[06:39] <kub1> Xorg just started using 100% %CPU on my quad core Phenom II, & slowing the system to a crawl. Running KUb 904 64 bit. running the latest launchpad ppa kde 4.3? apt updated yesterday. Is this a known issue?
[06:39] <sy1> woooppsss
[06:39] <brEz> nmap shows it's listening on port 22
[06:39] <xhres2> linuxguy2009: no credit card info
[06:39] <sy1> i found the problem
[06:39] <moymoy> brEz: is networking working in your virtual machine?
[06:39] <sy1> linuxguy2009
[06:39] <Ademan> exit
[06:40] <Ademan> oops
[06:40] <sy1> it was cnap link
[06:40] <linuxguy2009> xhres2: paranoia
[06:40] <sy1> snap link
[06:40] <sy1> and extension
[06:40] <xhres2> linuxguy2009: you can say that
[06:40] <omegamormegil> brEz:  What error do you get?
[06:40] <brEz> moymoy: yep -  believe there's something you need to do to enable ssh on a guest account.. just unfamiliar as to what
[06:40] <linuxguy2009> hehe
[06:40] <brEz> "connection refused"
[06:40] <moymoy> brEz: there shouldn't be anything extra to do.. because ssh works in my virtual machine
[06:40] <sy1> ok this is ok now
[06:41] <brEz> you running windows as host, linux guest?
[06:41] <sy1> I hope to get the ubuntu to run smoothly
[06:41] <professor_> skreech: brb please message me again when you check those things out to get my attention
[06:41] <moymoy> brEz: nope, linux host, linux guest
[06:41] <xhres2> linuxguy2009: thanks for the help.
[06:41] <BellinXFelon> can someone help me with my external hd i cant write to it
[06:41] <sy1> yeah linuxguy2009 thanks
[06:41] <linuxguy2009> xhres2: Im useless ignore me.
[06:41] <professor_> BellinXFelon: what filesystem
[06:41] <sy1> ok
[06:41] <linuxguy2009> hehe
[06:42] <BellinXFelon> professor_ : ext3
[06:42] <sy1> i would like to install a logitech webcam on this ubuntu
[06:42] <brEz> moymoy: that's why :)
[06:42] <moymoy> brEz: you can do a tracert from your windows computer to your virtual's IP and see if it gets through all the way
[06:42] <professor_> please look through /var/log/messages for anything informative
[06:42] <omegamormegil> brEz:  If the port is open, and you have the right IP address, and you have ssh-server installed in Ubuntu, everything should just work.
[06:42] <Tniffoc> Is there a way to run the iPhone SDK from linux? It says that it has to run from an intel-based Mac running Leopard but will an intel-based windows or linux machine work?
[06:42] <sy1> i am using Bus 004 Device 002: ID 046d:08d7 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Communicate STX
[06:43] <BellinXFelon> professor_ : are you talking to me
[06:43] <skreech> professor_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/240896 is my current one http://paste.ubuntu.com/240897 for my old one
[06:43] <omegamormegil> brEz:  Don't forget that usernames and passwords are case sensitive in Ubuntu.
[06:43] <moymoy> Tniffoc: they only make sdk's for mac's?
[06:43] <sy1> I need to know the exact step install this driver
[06:43] <sy1> for the webcam
[06:43] <sy1> any ideas?
[06:43] <sy1> Thanks
[06:43] <FloodBot1> sy1: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:43] <linuxguy2009> sy1: is it a deb or .run or what?
[06:43] <brEz> omegamormegil: i know, that's the anonying part. I've used ssh for years and never had this problem on anything other than virtualbox
[06:43] <sy1> it is DEB
[06:43] <Tniffoc> moymoy: "To develop with iPhone SDK you must have an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X Leopard."
[06:43] <sy1> Sorry Gnome
[06:43] <skreech> sy1: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb
[06:44] <linuxguy2009> sy1: Double click it and itll open gdebi installer.
[06:44] <Sp0d> if anyone can help me write a simple shell script please pm me :) thanks
[06:44] <moymoy> brEz: run `tracert` from windows, pointing to your virtualbox's IP and see if it gets all the way through.. it'll probably help you figure out where the problem is
[06:44] <sy1> ok
[06:44] <sy1> hold on
[06:44] <chenran> hi
[06:44] <linuxguy2009> Sp0d: What do you want your script to do?
[06:44] <DarkMage26> How do I convert .vob files into another format like .avi?
[06:44] <brEz> I did, the virtualbox isn't even visibile in a "net view"
[06:44] <sy1> I need to install some updates 1st
[06:44] <ShapeShifter499> I got a queston, I have compiz and the needed managers, I want to have more than one virtual desktop, when I put 4 virtual desktops in the compiz it messes up, I noticed when I went to desktop 2, the top bar went messing and I couldn't get any right clicks to work on the desktop but the bottom bar was there so I used that to go back to desktop 1 now why did that happen?
[06:45] <moymoy> Sp0d: just ask what you want
[06:45] <professor_> skreech: your current xorg.conf does not seem to have any resolutions defined?
[06:45] <linuxguy2009> DarkMage26: Pitivi is cool or there are others like handbrake that can do MP4 encodes. Lots of others on Add/remove
[06:45] <rww> Tniffoc: Unless Apple release an SDK for Windows and/or Linux, you'll need a Mac. As far as I know, there isn't any way to run XCode on Linux.
[06:45] <Sp0d> i want it to give me the option to run different scripts i wrote like "press 1 to start service A, press 2 to start service B"
[06:45] <skreech> professor_: Nope but the old one did
[06:45] <moymoy> brEz: can you browse the internet from your virtual box?
[06:45] <Sp0d> i can print the menu
[06:45] <omegamormegil> brEz:  Ah.  Check the networking settings in the VirtualBox configuration window.  It needs to be set to Host networking.
[06:45] <Sp0d> but after the selection it just closes
[06:45] <skreech> I was hoping the Autoconfig would take care of it
[06:45] <professor_> skreech: smart move keeping the old one
[06:46] <brEz> yea I can...
[06:46] <linuxguy2009> DarkMage26: The pitivi in the repos is old manually installing the newer version mentioned on there site is much better.
[06:46] <professor_> skreech: try swapping the two
[06:46] <brEz> can browse the itnernet
[06:46] <kub1> Xorg just started using 100% %CPU on one of my cores in a quad core Phenom II, & slowing the system to a crawl. Running KUb 904 64 bit. running the latest launchpad ppa kde 4.3? apt updated yesterday. Is this a known issue?
[06:46] <skreech> professor_: Just did and rebooted
[06:46] <professor_> skreech: but also still google that model and ubuntu to see if anyone else has had problems?
[06:46] <sy1> skreech
[06:46] <Eric_J1> okay, I reverted to the .13 kernel, and that didn't work for different reasons
[06:46] <kbp> does anyone know how to make Ubuntu Server become Video Streaming Server? which program?
[06:46] <sy1> What was the step again ?
[06:46] <moymoy> brEz: that is the darndest thing
[06:46] <Eric_J1> I still cannot see my sound cards on this kernel
[06:46] <professor_> skreech: smart move for using binary nvidia drivers too
[06:46] <omegamormegil> kbp:  Use VLC
[06:47] <skreech> syi Sudo dpkg -i /path/to/deb
[06:47] <professor_> skreech: so old conf file doesn't help eh?
[06:47] <ShapeShifter499> well?
[06:47] <skreech> professor_: Nope everything works except that it only has 640x480
[06:47] <brEz> omegamormegil: how would I do that? everything looks normal
[06:47] <sy1> sorry I have that
[06:47] <kbp> omegamormegil: thank you I will google it
[06:48] <skreech>  Even if I take that out of the old file and restart X I only get 640x480
[06:48] <Eric_J1> anyone?
[06:48] <professor_> skreech: what has google turned up with that model and ubuntu
[06:48] <moymoy> Sp0d: paste what you have so far on pastebin
[06:48] <professor_> skreech: you should not take out any files, just swap them around so one is always named xorg.conf, backing up the other
[06:48] <moymoy> !paste | Sp0d
[06:48] <linuxguy2009> Eric_J1: If your soundcards dont show then the kernel doesnt support them.That simple.
[06:48] <skreech> professor_: Crap load of errors. including the one I saw with the refresh being wrong and the resolution being gimped . The wirkaround doesn't seem to work with me
[06:48] <Eric_J1> damn...
[06:48] <forces> hello?
[06:49] <professor_> skreech: so others have had problems with that monitor on ubuntu?
[06:49] <Eric_J1> any idea when that will be fixed?
[06:49] <squiggie> can anyone help me with a simple shell script?
[06:49]  * skreech shurgs. Some monitor like this. Sony and JVC and such
[06:49] <linuxguy2009> Eric_J1: What cards?
[06:49] <forces> how can I disable the gnome keyring?
[06:49] <ShapeShifter499> nvm I think I'm good now
[06:49] <ShapeShifter499> bye
[06:49] <professor_> skreech: some monitors have poor EDID and they make up for it in Windows drivers or something
[06:49] <Eric_J1> Creative Labs X-Fi Fatal1ty and Realtek '97
[06:49] <moymoy> squiggie: go ahead and tell us what you want the script to do
[06:50] <linuxguy2009> Eric_J1: Realtek should work out of the box. X-Fi is a no go for sure.
[06:50] <skreech> professor_: Right but it was workng right up until Ubuntu decided to install some packages silently
[06:50] <tbryant> I just installed Ubuntu 9.04, but when I try to "sudo apt-get upgrade" most things went through, but I have some packages that didn't upgrade and won't, and I can't run Firefox.
[06:50] <professor_> just keep trying searching google for a while and let me know how you go, I have had this problem in the past with a Viewsonic monitor too
[06:50] <professor_> were you using binary nvidia drivers previously?
[06:50] <skreech> This is a dell monitor could be anythign behind it :)
[06:50] <Eric_J1> they were working fine until a day or two ago
[06:50] <professor_> how old is your install?
[06:50] <skreech> Yes
[06:50] <Eric_J1> both
[06:50] <linuxguy2009> Eric_J1: Creative has beta X-Fi drivers thats about all there is from what I hear.
[06:50] <professor_> skreech: did you customise or install anything not from synaptic?
[06:51] <omegamormegil> brEz:  In the VirtualBox settings for that VM, go to the “Network” page and select “Host Interface” in the drop down list for the “Attached to” field.
[06:51] <skreech> professor_: Yes but 173. I had the machine running for a few days and came home and rebooted to find a 180 driver and no X
[06:51] <linuxguy2009> Eric_J1: What did you change?
[06:51] <squiggie> moymoy: itunes has seemed to created a lot of duplicates on my audio folder and it appended most of them with a 1 so i just need to loop through each folder in the library deleting *1.mp3
[06:51] <professor_> skreech: change any config files previously
[06:51] <Eric_J1> I think I was using those, but I've had sound for the last month os so that I was using ubuntu
[06:51] <professor_> skreech: well that's a good start
[06:51] <skreech> professor_: Nope Ubuntu did a silent upgrade to 180 driver
[06:51] <Eric_J1> the only thing I can think of was that I installed Virtual Box
[06:51] <professor_> skreech: it narrows it down
[06:51] <Eric_J1> but I've played games with sound since then
[06:51] <Cryptic_Donkey> tbryant,  Have you tried using the xmission mirrors?
[06:51] <professor_> skreech: upgrades shouldn't happen automatically unless you tell it
[06:51] <moymoy> squiggie: you don't need a shell script to do that.. one line of command will suffice
[06:51] <Cryptic_Donkey> tbryant,  Have you tried using the xmission mirrors?
[06:51] <professor_> skreech: google version 180 driver with that monitor model see what happens please
[06:51] <linuxguy2009> Eric_J1: So sound just wont work in virtualbox or on your main ubuntu system itself?
[06:51] <jigpe> hello how to install windowsxp in ubuntu (dual boot) i already install ubuntu and use all space for ubuntu..
[06:52] <skreech> Which has issues with my video card. it sets the range pretty high for refresh so X doesn't work
[06:52] <brEz> omegamormegil: I definatly don't have that :P
[06:52] <Eric_J1> it stopped working once I deleted the Virtual Box partitions
[06:52] <tbryant> Cryptic_Donkey, no, going to try that now.
[06:52] <sebsebseb> jigpe: What do you want to use XP for?
[06:52] <linuxguy2009> jigpe: Install Windows  then Linux, in that order.
[06:52] <skreech>  I fixed that then found the resolution was shot. Found out I had the 180 driver and rolled back to 173
[06:52] <squiggie> moymoy: i have the ls -R | grep 1.mp3 but how do I delete them?
[06:52] <professor_> skreech: what video card
[06:52] <professor_> skreech: google that and ubuntu too
[06:52] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: it can be done the other way round to,  and  sometimes it's way better to recommend a virtual machine
[06:52] <Eric_J1> I am assuming it had something to do with the Kernel updates, since I think it was a recent thing, but no idea
[06:52] <skreech> nvidia 5200 Geforce FX
[06:52] <moymoy> squiggie: find /path/to/music/folder -type f -name '*1.mp3' -exec rm -v '{}' \;
[06:52] <omegamormegil> brEz:  What version of VirtualBox are you running?
[06:52] <professor_> skreech: similar to me and it works
[06:53] <professor_> skreech: worst case scenario - would a fresh install kill you?
[06:53] <Sp0d> okay here it goes, and yes im new to this :P http://paste.ubuntu.com/240915/
[06:53] <squiggie> moymoy: thanks, i will give that a try
[06:53] <skreech> professor_: Right and it has a workaround for the problem But that doesn't work either
[06:53] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: sometimes? a lot of the time more like it, unless they are a Windows 3D gamer
[06:53] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: Well dont tell me, I already know that. Tell eric
[06:53] <professor_> skreech: if google does not turn anything up which I think it should
[06:53] <linuxguy2009> hehe
[06:53] <skreech> professor_: No but then I would just install karmic :-p
[06:53] <professor_> skreech:
[06:53] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: is that  his name?
[06:53] <professor_> skreech: what was the workaround - link please
[06:53] <brEz> omegamormegil: 3.0.2
[06:53] <skreech> Hold on
[06:53] <linuxguy2009> Eric_J1:
[06:53] <sebsebseb> jigpe: see the messages above that  I put to linuxguy2009
[06:53] <moymoy> squiggie: no problem
[06:53] <tbryant> Cryptic_Donkey, same errors.
[06:53] <sy1> is gnome better or kde ?
[06:53] <Eric_J1> ?
[06:53] <clawtooph> is network support suppose to work out of the desktop box? in my case its not working, so just asking
[06:54] <DarkMage26> linuxguy2009: how do I use pitivi to convert the vob files?
[06:54] <Eric_J1> Linuxguy: there was no text
[06:54] <sy1> which more stable ?
[06:54] <tate> I renamed my home directory by mistake, now I am unable to login. Is there a way yo create a user with administrative privileges using sudo.
[06:54] <linuxguy2009>  sy1: Try em both. You decide. We cant decide for you.
[06:54] <sebsebseb> sy1: Gnome and KDE 3 the older version :)
[06:54] <skreech> sy1: The one you like best is better
[06:54] <sebsebseb> sy1: KDE 4 is  not very stable
[06:54] <sy1> what is new ?
[06:54] <sebsebseb> sy1: or whatever
[06:54] <sy1> and stable
[06:54] <skreech> sebsebseb: ha ha :)
[06:54] <skreech> KDE4 is pretty stable
[06:54] <omegamormegil> brEz:  I didn't know that version existed :P
[06:54] <sebsebseb> skreech: why?
[06:54] <sy1> waht about using XFS ?
[06:54] <sy1> on these ?
[06:54] <sy1> KDE or Gnome ?
[06:55] <sy1> Will it be better ?
[06:55] <jigpe> ok thanks
[06:55] <squiggie> moymoy: looks like that worked. that was easier than i thought! Thanks.
[06:55] <linuxguy2009> DarkMage26: Ah you need to search for documentation.
[06:55] <sebsebseb> sy1: XFS on Ubuntu hmm   does gparted even  support that the  Ubuntu gparted
[06:55] <Eric_J1> hello?
[06:55] <rob__> #channels
[06:55] <tate> I have created one user, wc I am using now but this user has no admin privileges
[06:55] <brEz> omegamormegil: must be new? I got it today
[06:55] <moymoy> squiggie: no problem.. come back again if you have any problems!
[06:55] <sy1> i see
[06:55] <tbryant> Cryptic_Donkey, xulrunner-1.9, firefox-3.0, firefox-3.0-branding, firefox, xulrunner-1.9-gnome-support, firefox-3.0-gnome-support, firefox-gnome-support are the errors
[06:55] <sy1> so will we have a chance to use xfs ?
[06:55] <tate> I have created one user, wc I am using now but this user has no admin privileges
[06:55] <sy1> for ubuntu ?
[06:55] <sebsebseb> sy1: maybe with the alternate CD or something,  you may want to do Ext4 instead :)
[06:55] <tbryant> Cryptic_Donkey, I get a bunch of errors like "dpkg: error processing firefox-gnome-support (--configure):"
[06:56] <tate> >	I renamed my home directory by mistake, now I am unable to login. Is there a way yo create a user with administrative privileges using sudo
[06:56] <sebsebseb> sy1: altough some think it's not quite stable enough yet in 9.04, default for 9.10 though#
[06:56] <skreech> professor_: https://answers.launchpad.net/dkms/+question/59519
[06:56] <professor_> please give me half an hour or so
[06:56] <skreech> sebsebseb: really? thought they had decided against that
[06:56] <Cryptic_Donkey> tbryant,  what irc client  are you using?
[06:56] <sebsebseb> sy1: Ext3 is the default file system at the moment
[06:56] <tbryant> XChat
[06:56] <tbryant> Cryptic_Donkey, ^^
[06:56] <professor_> skreech: I'm tossing some weights around and replying between sets :-) will look 4u
[06:56] <skreech> professor_: Ok ping me when you get back I'll be trying the other xorg
[06:56] <linuxguy2009>  tate: restore your system backup. You do have a system backup right? hehe
[06:56] <toyimp> I picked up a GTK2.x theme and for some reason the windows are not transparent like they look in the pic. Why?
[06:57] <Purpley> sebastien__, what is the best file system to use?
[06:57] <sebsebseb> skreech: yep default  for 9.10,  which means  people that have  Ubuntu on Ext3, should clean install Ubuntu for 9.10 and  the Ext4 when it's time :)  for full Ext4 support
[06:57] <omegamormegil> brEz:  This version calls it a Bridged Network.
[06:57] <Purpley> sebsebseb, what is the best file system to use
[06:57] <professor_> please do try the other conf by renaming it to xorg.conf after backing up the current one just in case, reboot, and look through xorg log
[06:57] <Purpley> sorry sebastien__
[06:57] <professor_> and dmesg / var/log/messages in the meantime
[06:57] <linuxguy2009> toyimp: got compiz going?
[06:57] <brEz> omegamormegil: all I have is file > preferences
[06:57] <skreech> sebsebseb: Can't you upgrade the flesystem in place?
[06:58] <tbryant> I'm getting a bunch of dpkg errors when I try to "sudo apt-get upgrade" my freshly-installed system. Can anyone help?
[06:58] <sebsebseb> Purpley: depends on  what the computer is being used for,   but for  home usage,   Ext3  is  alright for now,  Ext4   is on the verge of replacing it though as the default file system for most  desktop Linux distros :)
[06:58] <skreech> professor_: Xlog I doubt will have anything it thinks 640x480 is just grand
[06:58] <Cryptic_Donkey> tbryant, I suguuesg that you  force quit all instances of firefox and try the updates again
[06:58] <sebsebseb> skreech: yes, but the Ext3 to Ext4 conversion isn't good enough, so for full Ext4 support you must clean install
[06:58] <skreech> ok
[06:58] <professor_> skreech: also please look for xorg refresh rates for your monitor
[06:58] <toothdecay> hmmm, Audacious or Quod Libet, I can't decide!
[06:58] <professor_> skreech: neither config seems to specify refresh rates (old one is commented out) for some reason, not sure if that is usual
[06:58] <tbryant> Cryptic_Donkey, there aren't any instances of Firefox :\
[06:58] <brEz> all my settings are right, I'll just upll my hair out, rather than flood the ubuntu room with offtopic ;P
[06:59] <skreech> professor_: because it's way higher than the monitor So all I get is a black screen
[06:59] <moymoy> brEz: have you tried ssh from a linux machine to your virtual box?
[06:59] <linuxguy2009> tate: Can you login to your normal account at all?
[06:59] <brEz> not yet
[06:59] <brEz> I don't think it would make a difference, the virtualbox isn't visible on the network, but I can view the web
[07:00] <omegamormegil> brEz:   I wish I had it installed.  Let me refer you to the user manual - it has detailed instructions.  Check out page 86.  http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/3.0.2/UserManual.pdf
[07:00] <brEz> omegamormegil: thanks for you help :)
[07:00] <brEz> moymoy: thanks you 2  :)
[07:00] <tate> I do not have a sytem back up
[07:00] <Cryptic_Donkey> tbryant, try rebooting in single user mode and doing an apt-guiget upgrade with no
[07:00] <toyimp> linuxguy2009, well I just tried starting it. And my windows crapped out. I must have a problem with the current install. Thanks for makin me notice haha
[07:00] <omegamormegil> brEz:  No problem, hope it helps :)
[07:00] <_professor_> skreech: if this workaround is like yours it is something different, I will need some time to look at it
[07:01] <Cryptic_Donkey> tbryant, try rebooting in single user mode and doing an apt-guiget upgrade with no  gui
[07:01] <linuxguy2009> tate: Can you login to your normal account at all?
[07:01] <tbryant> Cryptic_Donkey, I've tried that.
[07:01] <tate> I need to create a user with admin priviledges (or login in as root)
[07:01] <_professor_> skreech: you got those errors discussed int he workaorund?
[07:01] <skreech> _professor_: brb reboooting
[07:01] <linuxguy2009>  tate: Ok someone else can help ya I feel like im talking to the wall here. hehe
[07:01] <_professor_> EE failed to load module type1 (module does not exist)
[07:01] <_professor_> EE Nvidia(0) failed to ini the Nvidia Graphics Device PCI 1.00

[07:04] <ammar> hey Brandon
[07:04] <sy1> hello
[07:04] <sy1> I am back
[07:04] <BellinXFelon> Gnea : can you help me with my external usb harddrive
[07:05] <linuxguy2009> BellinXFelon: Ask your question.
[07:05] <sy1> ethernet connection to the computer must be disable befor swtiching to wireless in Ubuntu ?
[07:05] <brandon> hey!
[07:05] <BellinXFelon> linuxguy2009 : i cant write to it
[07:05] <jsf_x35a> Hey, does anyone here know why eSATA drives don't automount?
[07:05] <nA_tE> Hello
[07:05] <linuxguy2009> BellinXFelon: Dont have write permissions?
[07:05] <sy1> esata requires drivers ?
[07:05] <sy1> like windows ?
[07:05] <skreech> professor_: Cursed nvidia
[07:05] <jsf_x35a> oh
[07:05] <BellinXFelon> linuxguy2009 : no i dont
[07:05] <jsf_x35a> thnx
[07:05] <sy1> what brand of casing is crucial to mount i think
[07:06] <ammar> Any Ubuntu Mac Users?
[07:06] <skreech> !ma
[07:06] <skreech> !mac
[07:06] <linuxguy2009> BellinXFelon: "gksudo nautilus" then you can change driver permission.
[07:06] <skreech> Hmm
[07:06] <rbarlow> ubuntu macbook pro 2,2 user
[07:06] <skreech> there should be an #ubuntu-mac
[07:06] <sy1> is there a way to burn the ubuntu cd and make it bootable ?
[07:06] <linuxguy2009> BellinXFelon: in nautilus open the drive and then go up a level to the root of the drive is visable as a folder. Right click and go to pewrmissions tab. Set it like you want.
[07:06] <professor_> skreech: do you have a Live CD you can try?  be interesting to see if the non binary driver on a live CD has problems
[07:06] <sy1> because i cannot find 800 mb cdr in Malaysia
[07:07] <skreech> professor_: oooooooooh good idea
[07:07] <professor_> skreech: and if not if there is anything you could pull out of that xorg conf
[07:07] <skreech> ok I'll try that :)
[07:07] <sebsebseb> !install |  sy1
[07:07] <sy1> i want to burn the ubuntu cd to dvd and make it bootable
[07:07] <sy1> is this possible ?
[07:07] <sebsebseb> !usb |  sy1
[07:07] <linuxguy2009> sy1: sure is
[07:07] <sebsebseb> sy1: yes you can burn it to DVD
[07:07] <professor_> skreech: try a non ubuntu live cd too if you ahve one lying around
[07:08] <skreech> I have a SUSE
[07:08] <sy1> what software to use to burn to dvd ?
[07:08] <professor_> skreech: or a USB install like these guys are talking about
[07:08] <rbarlow> ammar: previously i've dual booted mac and ubuntu, though right now my mac is running ubuntu and nothing else
[07:08] <sy1> from the cdr copy ?
[07:08] <professor_> skreech: try both then
[07:08] <sebsebseb> sy1: Brasero or K3B
[07:08] <sy1> my brasero have problem
[07:08] <professor_> skreech: if anything it will help narrow it down
[07:08] <linuxguy2009> sy1: if you want to use a DVD you can even use up all that extra space by using something like UCK ubuntu customization kit and have all your fav apps installed out of the box. kinda cool to do.
[07:08] <sy1> it does not have the plugin to do that
[07:08] <sebsebseb> sy1: try K3B then, and it will want to put on some KDE stuff, if you haven't installed anything KDE before
[07:09] <sy1> uck ubuntu customisation where to find that on the internet ?
[07:09] <moymoy> brEz: i didn't do anything =\ but the feeling of fixing something always feels great.. i hope you get your ssh to work.. (do you even care? what do you do in the virtual machine?)
[07:09] <sebsebseb> sy1: what?
[07:09] <sy1> i ahve put in kde aleready
[07:09] <linuxguy2009> sy1: add/remove or synaptic its in the repos
[07:10] <brEz> moymoy: route all my net connections through ipv6
[07:10] <sy1> what do i type uck?
[07:10] <sy1> do I type 'uck' ?
[07:10] <linuxguy2009> sy1: yep uck in synaptic
[07:11] <eweb> all: I tried to install vmware-player via apt-get, it completly froze at the liciencing agreement, now when ever i try to install something, insted of insatlling the desired program, it installs vmware-player over and over? Is there i way i can flush the instll que?
[07:11] <sebsebseb> !info uck
[07:11] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: good call.
[07:11] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: didn't know about uck
[07:11] <Al_nz_lapt> evening peoples
[07:12] <skreech> !remaster
[07:12] <sebsebseb> skreech: well I knew  they could be changed
[07:12] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: ah yeah its really great you can make your own flavor of ubuntu basically.
[07:12] <moymoy> eweb: try `sudo dpkg-reconfigure vmware-player` to finall get it configured
[07:12] <eweb> moymoy: thank you
[07:13] <Al_nz_lapt> anyone know how to turn acpi off in the grub.conf? i keep getting a mesg about it, and it appears to be a known bug. to stop if clogging my logs you can apparently turn acpi off?
[07:13] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: with logout and shutdown in the system menu where it's meant to be :)   as well as  fast user account switcher if I want it?   so yeah like 8.10, but  based on 9.04 in my case :)
[07:13] <miatech> guys.. could anyone help? I'm trying to get a TV Tunner/Recorder usb working with mythTV
[07:13] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: if so that would be cool :)
[07:13] <professor_> has anyone had any problems VNC'ing in to a KDE / Ubuntu desktop with V9?
[07:14] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: Well you take your ISO image and then whatever you can accomplish with the terminal and/or synaptic, you can customize whatever you want.
[07:15] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: oh I see,  so it probably won't quite do what I want,  :(  ah well
[07:15] <nomad77> Al_nz_lapt: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst,on the kernel line at end append acpi=off save it .if fails try noacpi.
[07:15] <eweb> moymoy: is there a way i can uninstall a broken/not fully installed program?
[07:15] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: Yeah adding to the panel would be tough.
[07:15] <clawtooph> i have a problem where i changed display resolution in ubuntu, and it was fine, but after i rebooted, the res is the new current resolution but the font size is screwed.. any clue how to fix? resizing doesnt help font now stays same size
[07:15] <zhan_zr> I have cross-compiled a program for my ARM9 board. But it emit "Can't resolve symbol __div0" at runtime. Does anyone know the issue?
[07:16] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: There are a few other projects like uck that can let you customize alot more then just apps. cant remeber the names though.
[07:16] <Al_nz_lapt> nomad77: k will try it
[07:16] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: I  can get it back in  system menu like upstream Gnome,   thing is I have to  remove their edited version of fusa ( fast user account switcher )  to do it, and I want both, like 8.10
[07:16] <zhan_zr> I have cross-compiled a program for my ARM9 board. But it emit "Can't resolve symbol __div0" at runtime. Does anyone know the issue?
[07:16] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: hehe way over my head.
[07:17] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: I know what you mean.
[07:17] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: I am talking about the thing used to shutdown and logout on the top right panel.
[07:17] <Al_nz_lapt> i cant edit menu.lst - its says unknown mime type
[07:17] <Al_nz_lapt> no edit mailcap rules found
[07:18] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: yeah I know. I have no clue how you could modify the panel in UCK. hmm
[07:18] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: probably can't that's what I was saying
[07:18] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: right
[07:19] <nomad77> Al_nz_lapt: try in xterm,nano,vi,vim its just a text file
[07:20] <sebsebseb> linuxguy2009: shame other distros...   I have reason to do another clean install on here,   and when I do i'll put Ubuntu on  and the KDE 3 repo :)   and do  karmic and such in virtual machines :)   and run that for a while.   anyway off topic,  and I am about to go
[07:20] <linuxguy2009> sebsebseb: rock on dude
[07:20] <moymoy> eweb: delete the entries in /var/cache/apt/archives/ with the name vm-player or whatever it is... and also delete the vm-player entries in /var/lib/dpkg/info and then start up synaptic to purge it
[07:21] <eweb> moymoy: thank you =)
[07:21] <moymoy> eweb: no problem.. tell me if any problems come up
[07:22] <Al_nz_lapt> nomad77: i now have acpi=off / ## END DEBIAN AUTOMAGIC KERNAL LIST
[07:22] <Al_nz_lapt> where / = new line
[07:22] <Al_nz_lapt> sound about rihgt"
[07:22] <Al_nz_lapt> right?
[07:24] <brEz> IT'S WORKING!
[07:24] <brEz> omegamormegil: you're not gonna believe this...
[07:25] <brEz> I didn't realise the vb had to be off to edit ;o
[07:25] <introuble> hello
[07:25] <introuble> good day
[07:25] <introuble> i was here yesterday
[07:26] <nomad77> Al_nz_lapt: no the kernel /boot/vmlinuz  etc... that line
[07:26] <professor_> skreech: doesn't look like there is a workaround there and if you tried some of those suggestions I wonder if another possibility would be to drop back to software nvidia driver 'nv' and reinstall the binary drivers from scratch using the restricted or hardware drivers option in ubuntu
[07:26] <introuble> and what a bitch the thingy was
[07:26] <HalfBloodPrince> Hey, can someone help?
[07:26] <skreech> professor_: Hmm maybe
[07:27] <OhioEric> hi everyone
[07:27] <skreech> HalfBloodPrince: WE don't know
[07:27] <HalfBloodPrince> :P
[07:27] <professor_> skreech: disclaimer - I am no expert - just been using Nvidia binary drivers for 10 years on linux
[07:27] <HalfBloodPrince> Well I was interested in the 'Dust' GTK+ theme
[07:27] <introuble> im on live ubuntu 6.06 install and i fdownloaded 9.04 burned it to a cd but the cd does not work!!!! i try to boot from the cd and it fails, it says no emulation???????
[07:27] <professor_> skreech: so I have some experience with nvidia binary issues although thankfully they are quite rare nowdays
[07:27] <introuble> so how come the cd that i burned with ubuntu 6.06 out of ubuntu 9.04 iso image didnt become bootable?
[07:27] <professor_> all - KDE4 seems to be stable on ubuntu although some plasma apps like to crash
[07:28] <introuble> pls help.... ^
[07:28] <professor_> I need to read up on ubuntu and KDE in general I think
[07:28] <HalfBloodPrince> When i installed ubuntu Dust was already available, though not "fancy". i tried installing the downloaded one it says "Can't move directory over directory"
[07:28] <moymoy> introuble: did you use brasero? or did that not exist in 6.06? i have no idea
[07:29] <introuble> moymoy, i used the built in burner in 6.06
[07:29] <skreech> professor_: Wow I've only been using them for 2 months and I hate them
[07:29] <moymoy> HalfBloodPrince: that's because the theme was already installed, and thus the Dust directory was already in your themes folder.. and gnome-appearance-manager couldn't replace it
[07:29] <professor_> skreech: how so
[07:29] <moymoy> introuble: maybe you can try using dd to trasfer the image onto disk
[07:30] <moymoy> introuble: you should first check the iso for errors anyway... do a md5sum on it to see if it's alright
[07:30] <skreech> I've had more trouble with them in two months than the three years of my ATI card
[07:30] <zachary> What is a good application to sync with blackberries?
[07:31] <mataks> what's the command in terminal to enable automatic numlock on reboot
[07:31] <brummbaer456> evening folks!
[07:31] <aamir> hello Rooms
[07:32] <eltume> hey guy help my ubuntu won't detect my physical discs
[07:32] <noobswipe> evening gents
[07:33] <brummbaer456> so i just changed the apache config in my server to run name-based virtual hosts so i can host multiple sites on the same box. everything works great on local machine, but from other pc internal & external i get an err. checking err log shows it's requesting /htdocs instead of /var/www/site1 or site2
[07:34] <professor_> skreech: really?  that's not good
[07:34] <professor_> skreech: I am using a GeForce 6600 and latest Ubuntu with a Viewsonic monitor and seems happy
