[17:26] <DuckGod> if i install linux while it has a intel network card in it will it not install right?like not install the grub?
[17:26] <ubuntujenkins> fccf one way around it I was thinking of a more seamless aproach, but that is the best sugestion yet
[17:27] <DuckGod> if i install linux while it has a intel network card in it will it not install right?like not install the grub?

[17:27] <tongueroo> hey guys, wondering, so when something gets compiled and built onto a system, eventually what results are binary files and executables, if i were to take the binary files and executables and copy them over to another system with the same architecture x86, would they just work?
[17:27] <tongueroo> im thinking about deployments and long compile times when i need to spin up a bunch of more servers
[17:28] <joaopinto> tongueroo, if you have the same libraries for which those binaries are linked to in the other system, yes
[17:28] <fccf> tongueroo: provided they are running the same kernel, have all necessarry libraries, and dependencies
[17:28] <joaopinto> tongueroo, why not just build the .deb packages ?
[17:28] <tongueroo> joaopinto : ic, actually we're on gentoo in production
[17:28] <tstebut> xTEMPLARx thank you
[17:29] <joaopinto> tongueroo, ah ok :\
[17:29] <tongueroo> which tends to build everything from source, hence the question
[17:29] <tongueroo> yeah, im in the wrong room :)
[17:29] <joaopinto> tongueroo, that might be a problem, don't expect library versions compatibility between gentoo and ubuntu
[17:29] <yanwei_> it's time for sleeping
[17:29] <joaopinto> tongueroo, you could setup an ubuntu chroot on the gentoo server
[17:29] <tongueroo> interesting, k, good to know, ive always have wondered that, just havent had the chance to try it out yet :)
[17:30] <huston> hey i have another question. in windows 64 bit vista if you install a program that is meant for a 32 bit system it goes into a special program files folder meant for 32 bit programs, does ubuntu 64 bit do anything similar to this?
[17:30] <joaopinto> huston, no, but you can install 32bits libraris so that you can most of the 32bits apps out there
[17:30] <joaopinto> run most
[17:31] <huston> ok. thx.
[17:31] <tongueroo> joaopinto: interesting, is chroot-ing similar to running vm's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot
[17:31] <joaopinto> tongueroo, well, kind of,, it is just virtualized in the filesystem structure sense
[17:31] <SeismicMike> I have vpnc and the Network Manager vpnc plugin installed and can successfully connect to my VPN, but cannot reach the outside Internet when I'm connected. Help? I'm running 9.04
[17:32] <joaopinto> but because on linux most of the resources are file structure based, yes, it behaves like a very light vm
[17:32] <tstebut> xTEMPLARx, If you still see me, do you know a way to know
[17:32] <xTEMPLARx> tstebut:  I'm sorry but i'm not familiar with your issue.  :(
[17:32] <tongueroo> ic, cool
[17:32] <tstebut> xTEMPLARx, If you still see me, do you know a way to know if I have root privilege on a device, without no su nor sudo nor id....
[17:32] <tstebut> Oh ok
[17:34] <Moae> hi all
[17:34] <dro> what is a good way to free up space on ltsp server
[17:34] <dro> i mean ubuntu desktop
[17:35] <acostello> can someone tell me how to change the default .wav player to vlc?
[17:35] <Moae> i have to remove LCDproc, to make a clean installation, what command i have to use to remove completely the software (i didn't install it with apt-get, i have compiled the packages)
[17:35] <torn> Right-click on it then go to Properties > Open With
[17:35] <fccf> acostello: System>Preferences>PreferredApplications
[17:36] <MoonlitFate> I accidentally deleted my SCIM icon and network connection icon from the top panel... does anyone know how I can get them back?
[17:36] <torn> fccf, "Preferred Applications" never works for me.
[17:37] <fccf> MoonlitFate: right click on the top bar... Add To Panel .. add the applets back
[17:37] <acostello> fccf: that didnt change it.
[17:37] <SeismicMike> How do I get vpnc to let me access the internet?
[17:38] <Moae> anyone can answer me? :)
[17:38] <gwydionwaters> anyone have any ideas on recovering rm'd files on ext3?
[17:38] <MoonlitFate> fccf: I would do that, if the applets were actually there, but they don't seem to be. :(
[17:38] <Madsy> Moae: sudo make uninstall && make clean? :-)
[17:39] <Madsy> Open the makefile and see what the targets are.
[17:40] <Madsy> Moae: Don't message people in private please. It's considered rude by some. Ask in the channel so everyone can benefit from the discussion.
[17:40] <sebsebseb> hi
[17:41] <fccf> MoonlitFate: Network moniter should be there ... as for SCIM .. there is a function in System>Preferences>SCIM Input Method Setup called GTK under Panel ....you should be able to do that from there
[17:42] <Moae> Madsy: sorry
[17:42] <Moae> Madsy where i have to launch the command?
[17:42] <geos64> oooooooooooooooooooooooooo GOD PLAEASE HELP ME
[17:42] <Madsy> Moae: In the build directory where the makefile is.
[17:42] <Madsy> You said you compiled the application yourself.
[17:42] <Moae> ok

[17:46] <gwydionwaters> geos64: what is it now?
[17:46] <flucksbawks> hey guys... my comp just decided to start using oss instead of alsa... alsa says connection refused to audio device, etc.. someone wanna help?
[17:46] <flucksbawks> oss doesn't work btw
[17:47] <geos64> my screen is low and whant make it to 1024x789
[17:47] <fccf> 1024x768 is the correct
[17:47] <geos64> yes
[17:48] <fccf> geos64: you will probably need to install restricted drivers for your video card ... Do you know what kind of card you have, as in model number and make
[17:48] <geos64> 1024x768 is in my system
[17:48] <flucksbawks> oh gosh
[17:49] <fccf> !patience | flucksbawks
[17:49] <jaspion_me> --> --> + y
[17:49] <Two4> what was that for?
[17:49] <geos64> i install it today
[17:49] <flucksbawks> fccf: thats not why I said oh gosh...
[17:49] <jaspion_me> Liu Kang High Fireball Dragon
[17:49] <stefg> !fixres | fccf
[17:49] <jaspion_me> jajajaja
[17:50] <fccf> stefg: not for me
[17:50] <stefg> !sound | flucksbawks
[17:50] <flucksbawks> stefg: I know... unfortunately I'm not running gnome..  or any DE for that matter
[17:51] <stefg> flucksbawks: how then that you have oss installed ?
[17:51] <Two4> flucksbawks, you're running from the bash?
[17:51] <ubunoob> hello i have a little problem, i don't know how to change the password of my normal user, because i forgett it. im now connected with my su-account.
[17:52] <flucksbawks> Two4: well, its an HTPC that runs fluxbox,  but when I run mplayer from shell it tries all ao's, and fails miserably with all of them now
[17:52] <sebsebseb> ubunoob: ok that's easy enough to sort out
[17:52] <n8tuser> ubunoob-> passwd username
[17:52] <lizzzy> My speakers work perfectly but front headphones won't work.
[17:52] <flucksbawks> Two4: I install pulseaudio from source, and it didn't come with an uninstall script =P
[17:52] <sebsebseb> ubunoob: In the olden Ubuntu days would have to use a Live CD to sort that out,  but  not for the past few or so releases since recovery mode
[17:52] <flucksbawks> Two4: but alsa was still working after that for about 2-3 months
[17:53] <stefg> flucksbawks: have you checked lsmod that all your (alsa) kernel modules are loaded?
[17:53] <euxneks> flucksbawks: you should be able to make uninstall in your src directory
[17:53] <sphenxes> what open source VOIP would you recommend to use instead of skype? and also call land line
[17:53] <LobbyZ> Is it correct to call Ubuntu a debian OS? (just say yes or no)
[17:53] <Two4> flucksbawks, you lost me at HTPC
[17:53] <sebsebseb> ubunoob: boot it up from Grub, get the root shell, and passwd username, or use the Live CD
[17:53] <euxneks> flucksbawks: if you wanted to remove something your installed by src I mean
[17:53] <lizzzy> anyone?
[17:53] <flucksbawks> euxneks: I tried that, no target to uninstall
[17:53] <euxneks> d'oh
[17:53] <fccf> LobbyZ: yes and no
[17:53] <stefg> flucksbawks: usually a make install can be undone with a make uninstall
[17:53] <euxneks> lizzzy: are you certain the front speaker ports actually work>?
[17:54] <LobbyZ> fccf, yes and no? how come?
[17:54] <geos64> what do i do
[17:54] <fccf> !debian | LobbyZ
[17:54] <souler> >.<
[17:54] <flucksbawks> stefg: I know.. thats why I'm mad because there was no uninstall target
[17:54] <souler> I need help with Nvidia graphics x.x
[17:54] <ubunoob> omg it wasnt the password is was my user :-D  i now found the right username
[17:54] <ubunoob> thanks
[17:54] <sebsebseb> !detials |  souler
[17:54] <lizzzy> euxneks: Yup. Works perfectly on windoze.
[17:54] <sebsebseb> !detials |  souler
[17:54] <souler> I installed, then it worked perfectly at first. After I restarted my computer the craphics gone horribly wrong... as in back to the same was as I installed ubuntu.
[17:55] <fccf> !details | souler
[17:55] <souler> ubottu, I was typing out.
[17:55] <sebsebseb> fccf: hmm odd I spelt it wrong for a second time
[17:55] <stefg> flucksbawks: awww, great.... now you can only do a make install to some temporary dir only to see what went where and delete file by file...
[17:55] <euxneks> souler: "gksudo nvidia-settings" then save output to xorg.conf
[17:56] <lizzzy> I think its a intel hda playback issue?
[17:56] <euxneks> lizzzy: try opening up the sound properties
[17:56] <lizzzy> ok
[17:56] <flucksbawks> stefg: lol yeah... afraid of that,  but pulseaudio isn't really my problem.. its that alsa seems to not be configured correctly anymore
[17:56] <euxneks> lizzzy: you may have something muted that controls the front jack
[17:56] <flucksbawks> stefg: because alsa was still running fine, even when pulse couldn't connect
[17:56] <lizzzy> euxneks: Not really...
[17:56] <flucksbawks> stefg: it just recently stopped working, and for some reason connects to oss, but plays no sound
[17:56] <sebsebseb> souler: You messaged a bot :)
[17:57] <lizzzy> euxneks: Everything is unmuted.
[17:57] <souler> Hey it\s my first time here
[17:57] <souler> and my keyboard also got messed up for no reason
[17:57] <souler> >.<
[17:57] <souler> And how do I save it as an output from there_
[17:57] <sebsebseb> lizzzy: Some people get sound issues in Ubuntu
[17:58] <fccf> flucksbawks: I am thinking that an update may have occurred that broke something, perhaps recompiling pulse under the new config might fix things
[17:58] <souler> All I see is HELP button and QUIT
[17:58] <flucksbawks> fccf: but how would pulse work correctly at all, if alsa isnt?  pulse runs off of alsa
[17:58] <flucksbawks> fccf: doesn't it?
[17:58] <stefg> flucksbawks: you said that is a lean HTPC install ? it might be more time-efficient just to backup the few important configs and reinstall instead of tracking and cleaning the mess
[17:58] <oleg__> hi all
[17:58] <FrankQC> o hai
[17:59] <fccf> flucksbawks: I actually agree with stefg on this one
[17:59] <flucksbawks> stefg: well, its an HTPC that is also a seedbox with a heavily invested userbase =P
[17:59] <dom96> hello, can anybody help me with a kernel panic i get on an acer aspire one, i executed dmesg, and i found http://pastebin.mozilla.org/673884
[17:59] <flucksbawks> stefg: its a server, that also happens to have output to a TV =P
[17:59] <oleg__> I have strange sound problem. Sound goes well, but when I use my HDD (copying files, moving them) the sound starts waving. Can anyone suggest something?
[18:00] <souler> euxneks how do I save it as what you asked_
[18:01] <oleg__> anyone?
[18:01] <lizzzy> Hmm.. Ok so, when i test the playback using my headphones, it doesn't work. The most interesting thing is if I plug it into my microphone slot, I can use it as headphones (that is I can hear the audio!)
[18:01] <geos64> i what help so i cann config to 1024x768
[18:01] <stefg> flucksbawks: a server-server or some low power home server?
[18:01] <sebsebseb> lizzzy: oh
[18:02] <sebsebseb> lizzzy: I guess for whatever reason the hardware isn't being detected properly
[18:02] <souler> So
[18:02] <souler> >.<
[18:02] <lizzzy> sebsebseb: Yeah. That's prolly right. But, is there a solution?
[18:02] <sebsebseb> lizzzy: this might be useful and then again it might be useless
[18:02] <MoonlitFate> fccf: Sorry for the really delayed response, had to go do some stuff. I found what you were talking about for SCIM, and I'll reboot and see if that brings the icon back.  But, I can't find Network Monitor-- for add to panel there is only a Modem Monitor for dial-up.
[18:02] <sebsebseb> !sound | lizzzy
[18:03] <flucksbawks> stefg: well, its got about 30-40 users, and 5 TB of stuff
[18:03] <flucksbawks> stefg: its at my house, but I have a pretty thick business line
[18:03] <lizzzy> sebsebseb: Did that.  THe rest is bloody huge because of the stupidly low resolution
[18:03] <stefg> flucksbawks: because the seedbox actually would be a candidate for virtualization...
[18:04] <lizzzy> sebsebseb: WIll do that now :)
[18:04] <sebsebseb> !ask  |  geos64
[18:04] <flucksbawks> stefg: what do you mean?
[18:04] <sebsebseb> !language |  souler
[18:04] <souler> >.<
[18:04] <flucksbawks> souler: I bet you saw that line huh -.-
[18:05] <souler> what line
[18:05] <MoonlitFate> Lol. >o>
[18:05] <sint> hey, i want to install ubuntu to a friend. but i don't wanna reinstall in about a month. so would you suggest to install 9.10? will 9.10 be stable with updates in about a week or two?
[18:05] <flucksbawks> souler: the ubottu line, I was jk tho
[18:05] <geos64> i dont know how to set sreen to 1024x768
[18:05] <souler> huh_
[18:05] <sebsebseb> sint: yes install 9.10
[18:05] <souler> x.x
[18:05] <stefg> flucksbawks: in server think you never try do give more than one dedicated job to a machine. you think in terms of appliances: Mail-appliance here, seedbox-appliance there, home-entertainmaint appliance over there
[18:05] <souler> I need my drivers fixed. . .
[18:05] <sebsebseb> sint: it's released on October 29th
[18:05] <souler> or just graphics
[18:05] <flucksbawks> sint: karmic is pretty stable atm, I use it on my laptop
[18:05] <geos64> i runing ubuntu 9
[18:05] <sint> sebsebseb: where to download?
[18:05] <sebsebseb> sint: don't get it early
[18:06] <MoonlitFate> sebsebseb: 9.10, you mean? :o
[18:06] <flucksbawks> stefg: yeah, I know.  thats why its just fluxbox and mplayer =P
[18:06] <geos64> but i dont have the dvd
[18:06] <sint> sebsebseb: ??
[18:06] <fccf> geos64: 9.04 , or the prereleased 9.10? there is a big difference
[18:06] <sebsebseb> flucksbawks: it's  being alright for me as well,  but you shoudn't recommend people get it early, since there can still be certain problems
[18:06] <sint> sebsebseb: first you say "install it" and then "dont" ?
[18:06] <sint> :D
[18:06] <sebsebseb> sint: wait for the final before doing 9.10 that's what I am saying
[18:07] <oleg__>  I have strange sound problem. Sound goes well, but when I use my HDD (copying files, moving them) the sound starts waving. Can anyone suggest something?
[18:07] <geos64> 9.04
[18:07] <MoonlitFate> I'll be back, going to reboot and see if SCIM comes back...
[18:07] <sunshinepants> is there a way I can tell nautilus to not try to mount my sony phone? I've turned the options off in its preferences.. do I need to restart gnome?
[18:07] <stefg> flucksbawks: but now you see where non-existant isolation leads to
[18:07] <fccf> sint: your other option would be to install 9.04 and run the upgrade next month which is easyer than reinstalling
[18:08] <mcchris> my wife's Ubuntu box is infected with something called 'malware-stop.org'. google has nothing. does anyone know what this is?
[18:08] <sebsebseb> fccf: next months is November :D  it's the 1st of October today
[18:08] <flucksbawks> stefg: stefg well, thats not the problem..  I shouldn't have tried to compile pulseaudio from src just for projectM... lol
[18:08] <geos64> what and how do i stall it
[18:08] <flucksbawks> stefg: I know where I went wrong, I just don't know how to fix it
[18:08] <jrib> mcchris: infected how?
[18:08] <sebsebseb> fccf: the 2nd in some parts of the world also
[18:08] <sint> fccf: ya, but i never got an upgrade run perfectly. so i would install 9.04 and have it run forever. my friend is not the geek type of person and just needs a pc for internet
[18:09] <fccf> sebsebseb: yeah, but the ubuntu servers are going to be slammed until at least the first of november
[18:09] <sebsebseb> fccf: yeah I was just thinking about that as well
[18:09] <mcchris> jrib, firefox hijacked, won't allow loading of any other web pages.
[18:09] <sebsebseb> sint: I see
[18:09] <jrib> mcchris: easiest way is probably to just create a new profile
[18:09] <skmpz> hello .. i want to sort a 1.5 text file.. i tried sort -u unsorted.txt > sorted.txt but i don't think is ever going to complete .. is there any other way ?
[18:09] <sebsebseb> sint: no  you don't do 9.04 for ages,  since only 18 months of support on the desktop, same thing for 9.10
[18:09] <MoonlitFate> Hm, apparently the update manager isn't telling when updates are available. Oh joy. D<
[18:09] <jrib> mcchris: isn't restarting firefox enough?
[18:10] <stefg> flucksbawks: if that's a reasonably powerful machine i'd use xen or kvm  on it and have separate instances for the htpc and for the seedbox part (and a third for a firewall appliance like ipcop or endian)
[18:10] <geos64> !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[18:10] <sebsebseb> sint: 10.04 is the next LTS
[18:10] <mcchris> jrib wondering if system files might be compromised
[18:10] <jrib> mcchris: her user doesn't have access to system files
[18:10] <jrib> mcchris: unless she has sudo access and is running firefox with sudo
[18:11] <mcchris> jrib, shouldn't be. she's a noob.
[18:11] <XLV> mcchris, use noscript from now on too.. and no visiting of dubious sites
[18:11] <mcchris> jrib, so you suspect it's only FF then?
[18:11] <jrib> mcchris: yeah
[18:11] <sint> sebsebseb: ya, i know. i just meant that i don't want to maintain to much on friends computers
[18:11] <flucksbawks> stefg: its not that reasonably powerful >.< the fact is when I said HTPC, I really meant it has fluxbox and mplayer.  Under no circumstances should that EVER interfere with the server end of it.  However, ignorantly compiling things from source will
[18:11] <sebsebseb> sint: put  9.10 on :) wait for it,  nice  default  Ext4 :)  fast file system.   then an upgrade to 10.04  the next LTS, should go alright.  and  that has three years of support on the desktop
[18:11] <flucksbawks> stefg: the server has never even hiccupped over the past 2 years
[18:12] <Padhu> what about datarecovery in ext4?
[18:12] <box> sint: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/
[18:13] <sebsebseb> sint: plus  they  might have hardware which isn't good with 9.04
[18:13] <sebsebseb> Padhu: I guess like with Ext3
[18:13] <eddiebuntu> how do you change your mac address in ubuntu
[18:13] <geos64> how cann i set this up
[18:13] <stefg> flucksbawks: that were more philosophical considerations... but to fix the failed pulseaudio build and debug alsa i'm afraid you'll have to read a lot of documentation
[18:13] <pinguinodemo> ciao ragazzi
[18:14] <flucksbawks> stefg: yeah,  i was afraid of that.  was just hoping that someone here had fixed the same issue lol
[18:14] <MoonlitFate> Restart time. >:
[18:14] <fccf> geos64: we cannot help you until we know what kind of hardware you have -
[18:14] <geos64> HELP ME
[18:14] <sebsebseb> lizzzy: Any luck?
[18:14] <flucksbawks> stefg: but yeah, my users don't pay for their service,  so frankly if I accidently spilled rum inside the server 10 minutes from now
[18:14] <Pici> sint, box, sebsebseb: 9.10 is still beta, its not ready for prime time.  Also, the iso tracker on the qa site should not be used in place of the official beta announcement, those may be buggy cd images.
[18:14] <flucksbawks> stefg: and it went down forever,  they could all deal with that themselves lol
[18:14] <fccf> !it | pinguinodemo
[18:15] <sebsebseb> Pici: indeed  hence why I told sint to wait untill the final
[18:15] <stefg> flucksbawks: planned maintenace downtime sounds more professional :-)
[18:15] <sebsebseb> Pici: also the other thing, not sure what your talking about?
[18:15] <geos64> wy dos it play a roll
[18:15] <flucksbawks> stefg: LOL that made me laugh pretty hard irl
[18:15] <geos64> what system i have
[18:15] <flucksbawks> stefg: <---- used to work for an ISP
[18:15] <skmpz> anyone available to help me ?

[18:17] <skmpz> what do u mean why ?
[18:17] <skmpz> why not use sort -u ?
[18:17] <jrib> skmpz: why do you want to sort 1.5gb of data?
[18:17] <LjL> PSP: pnmtopng filename.pnm >filename.png
[18:17] <skmpz> its a wordlist..
[18:17] <Pici> PSP: The application LjL is suggesting is in the netpbm package.
[18:17] <skmpz> dictionary
[18:17] <manojmalik> hi 2 all
[18:17] <PSP> i dont have a clue wat uu are saying
[18:17] <PSP> can u tellme wer to download it
[18:18] <geos64> fccf celaron 2.6 intel with 512ram 40gig
[18:18] <LjL> PSP: nowhere.
[18:18] <LjL> PSP: just type "sudo apt-get install netpbm"
[18:18] <stefg> flucksbawks: and think of it if you really reset the box.... kvm isn't hard to implement, and xen became quite good over the years
[18:18] <preetam> i am unable to open synaptic manager.the system gives the following message E: Unable to write mmap - msync (28 No space left on device)E: The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[18:18] <fccf> geos64: doesn't tell me much about your video card ... what video card does it have???
[18:18] <GeForce88> when using dual view, i  think, the one where you have two seperate x screens, is there a trick to make the programs go between the screens? or perhaps a setting somewhere i've missed? or is this just the way it is ?
[18:18] <skmpz> jrib: understood ?
[18:18] <LjL> skmpz: a wordlist of 1.5gb? are there duplicates or something?
[18:18] <jrib> skmpz: well you haven't answered my question, but I must go anyway
[18:19] <skmpz> yeah ..
[18:19] <geos64> its a sis fx 660 or 760
[18:19] <LjL> preetam: seems like your HD is full...?
[18:19] <geos64> how i see that
[18:20] <skmpz> so.. the only solution would be sort -u unsorted > sorted ?
[18:20] <GeForce88> geos64,  did you try ' lspci ' ?
[18:20] <preetam> no i have around 3 GB of free space
[18:20] <preetam> let me know how to clean up the hard disk
[18:20] <manojmalik> hi 2 all

[18:21] <MaskedDriver> call the USPS?
[18:21] <geos64> what is and wher is it
[18:21] <LjL> skmpz: not necessarily, perhaps there are more efficient sorters around, i don't really know though. in any case, sorting 1.5gb of stuff is never going to take a short time
[18:22] <fccf> geos64: start by typing 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' into a terminal, then restart
[18:22] <Lint01> how can I change my locale for me as user?

[18:35] <lizzzy> I have a plugin for songbird which is a .xpi file. Any idea how I can install the plugin?
[18:35] <MoonlitFate> Hm, well still no SCIM icon on the top panel. :(
[18:36] <harisund> lizzzy, I used to drag the .xpi file and drop it within the Sunbird interface on Windows XP .. does that work here?
[18:36] <lizzzy> lemme try
[18:36] <LogicalDash> I keep turning on Mouse Keys by accident. How am I doing this?
[18:37] <fccf> geos64: I gave you the command
[18:37] <preetam> can i reduce the size of  my /usr folder by uninstalling software.
[18:37] <LogicalDash> preetam, yes, and also by uninstalling other packages, like documentation
[18:38] <IonutB> hi. i'm using ubuntu 9.04 on x64. i have 4 GB Ram/800 MHz and a AMD x2 Dual core. My firefox is veeeeerrryyy slowwwwwwwww !? :|
[18:38] <MaskedDriver> preetam, I wouldn't delete documentation
[18:38] <preetam> please let me know how to reduce the size of the folder /usr.
[18:38] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, install graphics drivers
[18:38] <LogicalDash> preetam, well, only delete those packages you're sure you won't use
[18:38] <geos64> ok im reboot my pc
[18:39] <IonutB> MaskedDriver, it's installed already. i have normal visual effects
[18:39] <yonderboy> 'ello
[18:39] <Mka> Now that I've finished learning basics of programming and scripting, I need a bigger fish to fry. what should I try to program?
[18:39] <preetam> through synaptic package manager
[18:39] <preetam> or some other method is avialable
[18:39] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, how is it slow? in what way? like opening? closing? browsing? creating new tabs?
[18:39] <LogicalDash> Mka, try going on Launchpad and finding a bug to fix :)
[18:39] <yonderboy> is it possible to compress a file to an even smaller size than what gzip does?
[18:39] <Fitzpackage> MKA try to program your own shell program in C
[18:39] <LogicalDash> yonderboy, yeah, use bzip or lzma
[18:39] <Two4> LogicalDash, does it turn on while you're typing?
[18:39] <manojmalik> no sound in 9.04
[18:40] <Lint01> how can I change the locale for a single user?
[18:40] <MaskedDriver> yonderboy, you could zip a zip and then zip that zip using gzip then gzip that gzip with zip
[18:40] <IonutB> MaskedDriver, when i run pages which contains Flash. I have 3 addons : AdBlock Plus, Firebug and Web Developer.
[18:40] <LogicalDash> Two4, it turns on while I'm using the numpad to play Dungeon Crawl

[18:40] <ilson> portuguese
[18:40] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, interesting
[18:40] <ilson> ??
[18:40] <yonderboy> MaskedDriver: my head is spinning with all those zips!
[18:40] <thiebaude> !es
[18:41] <yonderboy> usually I just do... tar -czf
[18:41] <hrickards> !gb
[18:41] <MaskedDriver> yonderboy, tar that tar then gzip
[18:41] <LogicalDash> yonderboy, change z to j and you have bzip2
[18:41] <yonderboy> but the file that I need to compress is HUGE, like 20G
[18:41] <IonutB> MaskedDriver, yes .. i really love the terminal but this problem makes me angry. i'm web developer  ... i can't use a "slow firefox"
[18:41] <ilson> ok
[18:42] <thiebaude> !browser
[18:42] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, I have like 20 addons on mine and it's fine... what type of flash plugin do you have? one by Adobe or one of the OpenSource variety?
[18:42] <ubuntujenkins> what time is the beta release out?
[18:42] <Mka> !ubuntu>Mka
[18:42] <yonderboy> hmmm... does bzip2 make much of a difference over gzip?
[18:42] <euxneks> another browser that you could also possibly want to use is chromium
[18:42] <IonutB> Adobe Flash, last version. got installed few days ago.
[18:42] <Pici> ubuntujenkins: When its done, 9.10 discussion in #ubuntu+1 please
[18:43] <mlissner> Does anybody have any experience with PGP or Enigmail?
[18:43] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, try removing adblock and see if that improves performance.  Just start removing them to see which one is causing the slowdown
[18:43] <zion> need help whit installing flash player
[18:43] <hrickards> Is there a way to enable Metacity to let you drag windows off the top of the screen (note metacity not compiz)?
[18:43] <LogicalDash> !ask | mlissner
[18:43] <mlissner> I'm trying to create a revocation certificate, but Enigmail is failing me miserably.
[18:43] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, how did it run before you added your dev tools?
[18:43] <Mka> yonderboy, yes
[18:44] <[manas]> need help whit installing flash player
[18:44] <LogicalDash> mlissner, you should probably use Seahorse for that, it's in Applications->Accessories->Passwords and Encryption Keys
[18:44] <LogicalDash> !ask | [manas]
[18:44] <thiebaude> IonutB, do you have swfdec installed?
[18:44] <yonderboy> Mka: how would I unzip that bzip2 file then if I do... tar -cjf
[18:44] <mlissner> It gives me the error, "The revocation certificate could not be created."
[18:44] <IonutB> thiebaude, i have Adobe Flash 10. MaskedDriver : i'm going to see now.
[18:44] <LogicalDash> yonderboy, tar -xjf $filename
[18:45] <Mka> yonderboy, tar -xjf filename.tar.bz2
[18:45] <thiebaude> IonutB, ok, some ppl had problems with swfedec
[18:45] <yonderboy> ah, just like gzip but with the 'j'... brilliant!
[18:45] <thiebaude> including me
[18:45] <mlissner> LogicalDash: I'm confused how enigmail and seahorse interact.
[18:45] <yonderboy> thanks all
[18:46] <mlissner> LogicalDash: It seems like seahorse has some of the same certificates as enigmail, but doesn't have all of them...which leaves me confused.
[18:46] <[manas]> need help whit installing flash player for mozila i was trying so many totorial so i think i mix up everything how i can delete all of them and maybe some one can give me some totorial
[18:46] <LogicalDash> mlissner, they are both just frontends for the gpg command line utility. Enigmail isn't as well supported though.
[18:46] <mlissner> LogicalDash: I see. So if I create a certificate using Enigmail, it should automatically show up in Seahorse?
[18:46] <thiebaude> [manas], install flash from synaptic
[18:46] <LogicalDash> mlissner, it *should*, yeah
[18:47] <[manas]> thiebaude, synaptic?
[18:47] <thiebaude> !synaptic
[18:47] <IonutB> MaskedDriver, done. seems the same. i think there's a bug in Adobe Flash or something like that.
[18:47] <mlissner> LogicalDash: Complicated stuff, this PGP.
[18:47] <[manas]> thiebaude, try to type flash player there it will give u 100 option which one i need?
[18:47] <LogicalDash> [manas] the package you are looking for is called flashplayer-nonfree
[18:48] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, sehr interessant (very interesting in German).  Has your kernel updated recently?
[18:48] <[manas]> LogicalDash, but how i can delete all this which one i installed before?
[18:48] <mlissner> LogicalDash: Does seahorse do revocations?
[18:48] <LogicalDash> [manas] it'll do that automatically
[18:48] <IonutB> MaskedDriver, yes, i have the last. Linux 0x 2.6.28-15-generic
[18:48] <LogicalDash> mlissner, yup, it should be in the right-click menu
[18:48] <brutus> how do I scan my windows ntfs drive? fsck doesn't allow this type...?
[18:49] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, I've had to reinstall all of my graphics after every kernel upgrade
[18:49] <[manas]> LogicalDash, i will try
[18:49] <mlissner> LogicalDash: Scratch that, I found it. It's not in the right click, it buried within the properties.
[18:49] <LogicalDash> oops
[18:49] <fccf> brutus: install ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs
[18:49] <IonutB> MaskedDriver, mine was default installed :-)
[18:49] <kansan> can i write an ubuntu jaunty cd image to a dvdr disc?
[18:49] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, what kind of card do you have?
[18:49] <fccf> kansan: yes
[18:49] <IonutB> Ati x1550/1350
[18:49] <sebsebseb> kansan: yes and before burning the ISO you should md5sum it
[18:49] <sebsebseb> !md5sum | kansan
[18:50] <brutus> fccf, sadly, i tried ntfsprogs on the drive, but it segfaulted...
[18:50] <LogicalDash> kansan, yes, just use dd if=$path_to_cd_image of=/dev/cdrom (or whatever your dvd drive is)
[18:50] <mlissner> LogicalDash: Haha. First it fails to revoke it, then it crashes. So much for seahorse being helpful.
[18:50] <Huston> i feel like such a newb again having to ask all these questions but here is one more. can anyone explain to me why my computers running ubuntu are not being discovered my network. my network consists of 3 windows only computers and 2 ubuntu computers besides my laptop which is now able to dual-boot.
[18:50] <IonutB> MaskedDriver, i have the same problem ( slow firefox with flash bug ) on a laptop with intel x3100. ( the compiz was ok )
[18:50] <LogicalDash> mlissner, we are now beyond my expertise, sorry
[18:50] <mlissner> LogicalDash: 'fraid of that.
[18:50] <fccf> brutus: ntfsprogs is not a program ... it is a bunch of progs . one of which is fsck.ntfs
[18:51] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, *shrugs* idk sorry dude(or dudette)
[18:51] <sczgilae> hello, excuse me but i have the same problem i told yesterday. i have an script that mounts a shared network directory but cannot mount because konsola sais that must be root to mount. But i dont understand because if i mount using dolphin i have not problems, http://pastebin.com/d32befe57   , any ideas?
[18:51] <purplefool> hello, i am back and trying to get my grub to work.  i have used the qksudo gedit command with menu.lst and it DOESN'T work for my situation because i have a menu before this menu in menu.lst.  i want this other menu to go away and cannot get it to work.  any ideas?
[18:51] <Lint01> how can I know my display color depth?
[18:51] <IonutB> MaskedDriver, trotzdem danke
[18:52] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, bitte
[18:52] <thiebaude> Lint01, which graphics card?
[18:52] <brutus> fccf, you mean ntfsfix?
[18:52] <Lint01> thiebaude, Radeon
[18:52] <MaskedDriver> IonutB, my last bit of thought... uninstall and reinstall flash
[18:53] <thiebaude> Lint01, i'am not sure about that one
[18:53] <colblood> my usb drive doesnt automount all of a sudden, what could be the cause? i have to do sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/BLAHBLAH
[18:53] <thiebaude> !ati
[18:53] <Lint01> I fail to see how the bit-depth indication can be hardware-specific
[18:53] <sczgilae> !ati
[18:53] <colblood> running ubuntu 8.10 btw
[18:53] <LogicalDash> colblood, the service for automounting is called FUSE, might want to check it out?
[18:54] <colblood> ok, dunno where to go from there tho
[18:55] <purplefool> has anyone ever encountered a boot menu before the one listed in menu.lst?  how can i get rid of it or influence the selection order?
[18:56] <mlissner> LogicalDash: Well, at least there's a bug about it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/seahorse/+bug/228876
[18:56] <yonderboy> the best compression so far has been with gzip
[18:56] <yonderboy> tar czf beat tar cjf
[18:57] <Mka> `purplefool: are you dual booting with other OS like windows?
[18:57] <Mka> purplefool: are you dual booting with other OS like windows?
[18:57] <yonderboy> then when I tried to tar a tar and then gzip it, the extra tarring only made the gzip file bigger
[18:57] <purplefool> Mka, yes i am...winxp media.
[18:58] <hough> i am having trouble setting up internet connection sharing in ubuntu. are there any applications that make this any easier?
[18:58] <Mka> purplefool: which "first" menu are you talking about then?
[18:58] <fccf> brutus: I think what you actually need to boot into windows and have windows run chkdsk /f on the drive ... If windows improperly shutdown ntfs-3g will not mount it
[18:59] <Mka> yonderboy, why would you try to archive an archive?
[18:59] <purplefool> Mka, that is just it.  i have found no documentation for it.  it is a simple 2-choice menu with winxp media edition first and then ubuntu.  i want the order reversed and cannot seem to find anyone with the same menu.
[18:59] <Huston> so anyone know awhy my network can't discover my computers rtunning ubuntu?
[19:00] <MaskedDriver> Mka, cause I told him to lol
[19:00] <brutus> fccf, i get a 'disk read error' when I try to boot into windows..
[19:00] <MaskedDriver> Mka, yonderboy it appears sarcasm is lost over the IRCness
[19:00] <fccf> brutus: windows recovery console
[19:00] <Huston> brutus use safe mode
[19:01] <root> hi
[19:01] <hough> are there any applications for ubuntu that help you set up internet connection sharing?
[19:01] <brutus> fccf, I should probably add that to my grub.
[19:01] <hiffy> hey dudes
[19:01] <Mka> purplefool: pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" for me as well as "sudo cat /etc/fstab"

[19:02] <alabd_> Is there any free 56kb/s hsf modem driver for kernel 2.6.28
[19:02] <fccf> brutus: windows recovery console from windows install disk
[19:02] <Huston> brutus: can you force tyhe windows partition to mount from ubuntu's file manager?
[19:02] <sebsebseb> hiffy: #ubuntu-server may be a better channel for your issue
[19:03] <brutus> Huston, I am able to force mount it, but it shows up as empty...when I actually have 250 gigs of data on it..
[19:03] <Lint01> hough, no of course
[19:03] <hiffy> thanks, sebsebseb
[19:03] <purplefool> Mka, ok, did the commands and would like to know where to post them for you...
[19:04] <brutus> Huston, fccf this error started when I tried to reboot after windows had hibernated....
[19:04] <Mka> purplefool: sorry I have to leave now but do this. if you are logged on your Ubuntu now, then "sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sda"
[19:04] <purplefool> Mka, with 2 dashes?
[19:04] <MaskedDriver> purplefool, yes 2 dashes ftw
[19:04] <Mka> purplefool: you have to figure out whether your ubuntu is on "sda" "hda" "hdb" "sdb" or what
[19:04] <hough> figures...thanks anyway
[19:05] <Mka> purplefool: yes "--recheck"
[19:06] <purplefool> it says that the grub/stage1 was not read correctly...is that bad?
[19:06] <Mka> purplefool: yes that is bad
[19:06] <Huston> brutus, well then i'm not sure what to do. sorry.
[19:07] <purplefool> you see, those are the kinds of things that make a thursday evening bad...would just like to hear 'oh no, everything is just plain huncky-dory!'
[19:07] <Mka> purplefool: purplefool: not leaving anymore before this is done. type "rdev" on terminal and tell me what you see
[19:07] <brutus> Huston, np, thanks
[19:08] <sczgilae> hello, excuse me but i have the same problem i told yesterday. i have an script that mounts a shared network directory but cannot mount because konsola sais that must be root to mount. But i dont understand because if i mount using dolphin i have not problems, http://pastebin.com/d32befe57   , any ideas?
[19:08] <Nattgew> is there a way to make archive files automatically extract instead of opening in the archive manager?
[19:08] <purplefool> Mka, /dev/loop0 but the 0 has a dot in the middle...
[19:09] <euxneks> purplefool: that means it's a zero
[19:09] <purplefool> Mka, oh, i see that my computer just doesn't print it correctly when i type...sorry
[19:09] <torn> Is it normal for the system to hang/freeze a bit when it has a mount pointed to a disconnected CIFS share?
[19:10] <Mka> purplefool: I like your description, LOL. now type "ls /" and copy and paste on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[19:10] <kansan> if i have ubuntu hardy installed such that /root/ is on one partition and /home/ is on another... and i want to move to jaunty... i was thinking of: 1) booting from jaunty live cd; 2) blowing away the /root/ partition, and reformat it.  3) use the existing /home/ partition in the new installation.  does this sound reasonable?
[19:10] <torn> In other words, I created a share on a CIFS server, but if I power-off or disconnect the server, Ubuntu, openSUSE, etc, start freezing up when opening Nautilus or accessing the /mnt directory with a terminal.
[19:11] <Mka> purplefool: it seems as there is something wrong with your system, I am not sure whats up
[19:11] <Mka> purplefool: are you using a live CD?
[19:11] <torn> kansan, technically that should work. Unless you have specific/customer files and scripts in your / partition right now.
[19:11] <bastidrazor> kansan: you could if you use a different username.. if not you'll need to rename the /home/username to something other than what you're going to use
[19:11] <purplefool> Mka, it has been pasted under my name
[19:11] <n8tuser> torn yes thats common,  look for articles that says similar to nfs mounts while remote is disconnected
[19:11] <torn> *custom
[19:11] <euxneks> is there a kde equivalent to gksudo?
[19:11] <zizo> Hi all!! Today i've noticed that if i do a "echo test | mail" it tells me "No mail for current user". So i think i can set it, but how? Tnx
[19:11] <purplefool> Mka, no, is a full install.  windows was first and then ubuntu
[19:12] <Mka> purplefool: paste the web link  here
[19:12] <geos64> what to do next fccf
[19:12] <Travis-42> which is the ubuntu channel for discussing testing versions?
[19:12] <torn> n8tuser, I looked around for an option to bypass this problem (for example, just give an error message instead of freezing up) but I found no such thing.
[19:12] <purplefool> Mka, http://paste.ubuntu.com/283195/
[19:12] <kansan> bastidrazor, why cant i use the same /home/username ?
[19:12] <Lama_Chok> Does anyone knows a SAFE method to mount fat32 or ntfs partition through terminal
[19:12] <kansan> bastidrazor, and what do i need to do now to make sure i can still have /home/david
[19:12] <Nattgew> Travis-42: #ubuntu+1
[19:12] <n8tuser> torn-> google for nfs mounts, they have similar issues for remote not ready..  they may have similar solutions
[19:12] <Travis-42> thanks Nattgew
[19:12] <bastidrazor> kansan: for example /home/bob  ..if your new install is going to have user bob then you'll need to rename /home/bob to /home/bob-backup .. then you will still have all the data..
[19:13] <bastidrazor> kansan: the config files need to be for jaunty..
[19:13] <euxneks> sczgilae: http://pastebin.com/m63bdae2e  you probably need to mount as root. try http://pastebin.com/m63bdae2e
[19:13] <torn> n8tuser, I'm checking them out right now. But for the most part (and this is true in the past) all I could find were problems, but no solutions, heh.
[19:13] <Mka> purplefool: now paste me the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[19:13] <euxneks> sczgilae: I don't know what the kde equivalent is to gksudo so you may need to edit it a bit
[19:13] <kansan> bastidrazor, so just "mv /home/david/ /home/david-backup"  then later, copy over all the files into the installation created /home/david ?
[19:13] <bastidrazor> kansan: exactly.
[19:13] <len> HI, can anyone explain why when I use $ iwconfig wlan0 essid "ihaaaa" enc "xxxxxx" I get the following error? Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
[19:14] <geos64> i jist reboted
[19:14] <purplefool> Mka, http://paste.ubuntu.com/283197/
[19:14] <torn> kansan, to play it safe, make a backup of everything in /home to a USB or external drive. Never hurts to play it safe. Then when you install Jaunty, you can tell it to use the whatever # partition as /home (without formatting) and you should be good to go.
[19:14] <bastidrazor> kansan: not all the files just the files you need. none of the config files for applications since they are different version in jaunty than hardy
[19:14] <euxneks> sczgilae: that's a shot in the dark though
[19:14] <kansan> tomaw, i already made a backup ;p
[19:14] <luis_> holas
[19:14] <ctmjr> len what is enc?
[19:14] <torn> kansan, if you screw up or accidentally format the partition, you will have a backup copy on another drive/external.
[19:14] <n8tuser> len the enc may not be supported by your driver?  look a iwspy or iwpriv commands and it may tell you same
[19:14] <luis_> ...................
[19:15] <kansan> tom good suggestion
[19:15] <romswift> hum
[19:15] <koofie> wow, brainfreeze, whats the name of the command that shows last time file modified, read etc?
[19:15] <bastidrazor> !es | luis_
[19:15] <Mka> purplefool: i've never seen something like this before
[19:15] <bastidrazor> koofie: ls -al

[19:15] <koofie> no, not ls

[19:16] <Trizicus> when i try to do 'sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun I get all of these errors. http://pastebin.com/m70c87e9c
[19:16] <Mka> purplefool: I mean you have NTFS only, no ext2 or ext3 for Ubuntu
[19:16] <purplefool> Mka, good to know that even on computers i am considered a non-conformist...just wish it wasn't so.  what did i do wrong?
[19:16] <koofie> checks the three modes, last viewed, last modified, last changed
[19:16] <Lama_Chok> no i have both ntfs and fat32 for windows... just ext3 for ubuntu
[19:16] <Mka> purplefool: this means that ubuntu is NOT on your hard drive
[19:17] <purplefool> Mka, really? that was not supposed to happen, but i guess i was worried i would loose stuff in windows and didn't want to mess with the file system...
[19:17] <koofie> stat, it came back to me :0
[19:17] <Mka> purplefool: are you sure you are not running ubuntu from  a CD?
[19:17] <Lama_Chok> so is there any safe bet.....
[19:17] <purplefool> Mka, wait...huh?  confused here...how do i get to umbuntu then?  i am booted into it right now and use it all the time
[19:17] <sczgilae> euxneks: thks for reply, ksudo dont exists in kubuntu, mmmm, normal users are not sudoers, what can i do
[19:18] <purplefool> Mka, absolutely.
[19:18] <Lama_Chok> i m positive i have installed ubuntu
[19:18] <wildc4rd> evening all
[19:18] <Napalm_Penguin> anybody wanna answer a dumb question?
[19:18] <ctmjr> sczgilae: try kdesudo
[19:18] <koofie> its only dumb if you dont ask it
[19:18] <koofie> or until we giggle
[19:18] <Napalm_Penguin> where does java install to?
[19:18] <Mka> purplefool: bear with me, paste the output of "df -h" and that of "sudo cat /etc/fstab"
[19:19] <torn> Is there a way to create a script that can be executed by a normal user (not in the /etc/sudoers file) but runs with root privelges? Example: Executing the script makes a directory in the user's home and then mounts a location/device/partition to this directory?
[19:20] <purplefool> Mka, http://paste.ubuntu.com/283202/ for sudo cat
[19:20] <Lama_Chok> ankur BIET
[19:20] <bastidrazor> Mka: you don't need sudo to use cat.. also you can use pasatebinit to paste an entire file. you'll need to install it though. sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[19:20] <sczgilae> ctmjr: kdesudo: unknown option «o»
[19:20] <Trizicus> Why is it that Runescape lags so badly on Ubuntu even when you're using suns plugin?
[19:20] <purplefool> Mka, http://paste.ubuntu.com/283204/ for df -h
[19:20] <johnwm> how is the best way to mount a linux os on my hp pavilion and keep windows vista
[19:21] <johnwm> i have an extra hd rive tray
[19:21] <johnwm> drive tray
[19:21] <Napalm_Penguin> flash drive?
[19:21] <purplefool> Mka, so does this mean that i should redo the drive with ext3 or so?
[19:22] <torn> Trizicus, isn't Runscape Flash, not Java?
[19:22] <johnwm> please private me for discussion
[19:22] <bastidrazor> !dualboot | johnwm
[19:22] <ctmjr> sczgilae: try kdesu have not used kde in a while

[19:23] <Napalm_Penguin> plzzz
[19:23] <paul___> hi, can someone tell me how I can configure apache so that its local access only?
[19:23] <Mka> purplefool: how did you install Ubuntu?
[19:23] <colblood> locate java
[19:23] <colblood> ?
[19:23]  * Napalm_Penguin bangs head on desk
[19:23] <del_diablo> Napalm_Penguin: how did you install java?
[19:23] <paul___> Napalm_Penguin: whereis java
[19:23] <purplefool> Mka, from the liveCD with very little knowledge...
[19:23] <Napalm_Penguin> dunno cmd line
[19:24] <Mka> purplefool: you inserted the live CD while you were on Windows?
[19:24] <purplefool> Mka, no, booted from it and started up the desktop and installed from there.
[19:24] <trece8> How do I get my JACK latency to a minimum avoiding XRUNS ( with the limits.conf already configured and the rt kernel too)?
[19:24] <Napalm_Penguin> rpm file
[19:25] <trece8> I when I try to get the latency down to 11 ms , it has an XRUN each 24 seconds!
[19:25] <torn> Napalm_Penguin, somewhere in /usr/lib/jvm I believe.
[19:25] <larsemil> i am trying to get the proggy fonts into my system, i have downloaded them and ran fc-cache -f -v and the folder whows up. but i cant choose the font from xfontsel which i would want. any ideas?
[19:25] <del_diablo> Napalm_Penguin: I asked a question. HOW?! sudo apt-get or ????
[19:25] <Napalm_Penguin> ?_?
[19:26] <Napalm_Penguin> thx torn
[19:26] <eihwaz> hey
[19:26] <Mka> purplefool: this installation is probably not good. It looks like you have no partition for ubuntu and uses a a file in NTFS partion for your ubuntu
[19:26] <torn> Napalm_Penguin, but I am using the proprietary Sun Java, not the opensource version.
[19:26] <Mka> purplefool: then Windows load Ubuntu for you
[19:26]  * genii sips and thinks about the wrongness of java install from rpm on a deb packaged system
[19:26] <eihwaz> pleaz, i wanna know if there are one version of chrome webrowser for ubuntu?
[19:27] <linxeh> torn: good man
[19:27] <sebsebseb> !chrome |  eihwaz
[19:27] <lizzzy> Ok. So my microphone is getting detected as headphones. Installed pulseaudio and everything. No improvement :(
[19:27] <eihwaz> !chrome
[19:27] <eihwaz> O_O
[19:27] <purplefool> Mka, alright, this means that i should reinstall it?  and i should create a partition for umuntu with ext3?
[19:27] <Mka> purplefool: that is why "grub-install" failed to install grub to the MBR and that is also why "rdev" returns /dev/loop0
[19:27] <Mka> purplefool: yes
[19:27] <eihwaz> sebsebseb, hap me
[19:28] <sebsebseb> eihwaz: I think  there isn't a  stable final version of Google Chrome for Linux yet, but that there is one  in development.   There is Chromeium for Linux though, which Chrome is based on.

[19:28] <trece8> Is there some chat room for sound stuff on linux??
[19:28] <eihwaz> Ty :) i'll look for it, sebsebseb
[19:28] <linxeh> trece8: #lau
[19:28] <trece8> thanks linxeh
[19:28] <sebsebseb> eihwaz: Plus Chromeium unlike Chrome, has the advantage of being open source
[19:28] <Mka> purplefool: sorry. but you can use ubuntu like that if you are not deep in ubuntu
[19:29] <purplefool> Mka, ok, that is the info that i needed.  thx for your help and i will be thinking about doint what you say soon.
[19:29] <sebsebseb> eihwaz: ok np

[19:39] <seil> sebsebseb yes
[19:39] <GONZALEZR> When installing Ubuntu, the installation gets stuck at 88%. Why is that
[19:39] <GONZALEZR> ?
[19:39] <sebsebseb> nostalgicBadger: also ##linux could be good for that question, and Slackware is more complex

[19:40] <sebsebseb> seil: oh dear
[19:40] <shane2peru> when installing ubuntu on a Celeron with only 500mb ram it took an extremely long time, is that normal?  I usually install on my computers which are a step up from that.
[19:40] <seil> sebsebseb :(
[19:40] <sebsebseb> seil: Windows as the host OS :(  I hope this is only for getting a feel for Ubuntu
[19:40] <sebsebseb> seil: how much RAM do you have?
[19:40] <thiebaude> shane2peru, 500 is good enough
[19:41] <nostalgicBadger> running Linux within Windows kind of defeats the purpose... of Linux
[19:41] <seil> sebsebseb 1gb
[19:41] <firecrotch> shane2peru: define "extremely long time"?
[19:41] <sebsebseb> nostalgicBadger: indeed
[19:41] <nostalgicBadger> you could just emulate Bash in Windows
[19:41] <shane2peru> thiebaude: yes, but it took a few hours, I'm used to 30min installs <- firecrotch
[19:41] <nostalgicBadger> if you really want Bash. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you'd be looking for
[19:41] <seil> sebsebseb and am using a netbook ! lol
[19:41] <thiebaude> shane2peru, yea, way too long
[19:41] <firecrotch> shane2peru: a few hours is definitely longer than normal
[19:41] <sebsebseb> seil: Maybe that's why it's slow then
[19:42] <nostalgicBadger> seil - which netbook?
[19:42] <Diaz> hi, i was hoping someone could help me with starting my os ubuntu from the shell. Cause it starts up in the dos like shell. Ubuntu 8.4 server edition i think.
[19:42] <seil> nostalgicBadger 1005ha eeepc
[19:42] <firecrotch> shane2peru: I mean, yeah it'll take a *little* longer, but not that much longer
[19:42] <sebsebseb> seil: would be better probably to put it on for real,  but in that case  may as well wait until 9.10, released on October 29th.  also #vbox can probably help you
[19:42] <shane2peru> firecrotch: thiebaude well I wasn't here for the whole process, because I had to leave, but came back an hour later, and it was still plugging away, that computer will probably come back to me. :)
[19:42] <thiebaude> seidos, most netbooks you can upgrade to 2gb
[19:42] <thiebaude> shane2peru, you using live cd?
[19:42] <nostalgicBadger> seil - is that the one with the ssd?
[19:42] <seil> sebsebseb why wait for 9.10?
[19:43] <shane2peru> thiebaude: I used USB for that one, Jaunty
[19:43] <thiebaude> oh ok
[19:43] <firecrotch> Diaz: That's all you get by default with Ubuntu Server Edition.  If you want a desktop environment, use the Desktop install CD
[19:43] <geos64> fccf nothing happnd yet
[19:43] <seil> nostalgicBadger 160gb hd
[19:43] <seidos> thiebaude: netbook comment was probably meant for someone else, but that's cool.  2gb of ram?
[19:43] <shane2peru> thiebaude: is USB slower?
[19:43] <thiebaude> seidos, no it was for you
[19:43] <nostalgicBadger> i wouldn't wait for 9.10. you've got a better chance of the current (stable) release doing what it needs to do.
[19:43] <thiebaude> shane2peru, i never did the usb install

[19:44] <sebsebseb> seil: a few reasons
[19:44] <sebsebseb> GONZALEZR: meaning?
[19:44] <almostAg33k>  can anyone tell me why,when i run diablo II not on a virtual desktop it crashes
[19:44] <seil> sebsebseb performance reasons?
[19:44] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, how much ram do you have?
[19:44] <shane2peru> thiebaude: well, guess I will find out later if there was problems, I also installed ext4, but was a bit nervous, they had a WD hdd, which I heard here, that WD and ext4 have issues together
[19:44] <GONZALEZR> Without all this rubbish.
[19:44] <seidos> thiebaude: I don't have a netbook
[19:44] <almostAg33k> 512mb
[19:44] <thiebaude> shane2peru, you'll be ok with ext4
[19:45] <sebsebseb> seil: Ext4  is default in 9.10 :)  it's not in 9.04 it's optional, but not perfectly stable.   plus upgrading takes time,  or doing another re install. and so on
[19:45] <nostalgicBadger> seil - i have an aspire one with the 160gb - a lot of the parts are the same. you should be fine removing windows and running Ubuntu as your primary OS.
[19:45] <thiebaude> seidos, my bad
[19:45] <almostAg33k> thiebaude but it ran fine on the PC when i was using xp
[19:45] <thopiekar> hi
[19:45] <shane2peru> ok, thanks for the info thiebaude
[19:45] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, i hear that alot,lol
[19:45] <seil> sebsebseb do you think if I use kubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu it would be better for me?
[19:45] <thiebaude> shane2peru, np
[19:45] <seidos> thiebaude: nothing against them though, the new ones are nice
[19:45] <sebsebseb> seil: you can have all of those in an Ubuntu install
[19:45] <firecrotch> GONZALEZR: we typically prefer to give support here in the channel so that others can chime in with their advice
[19:45] <seidos> hey sebsebseb
[19:46] <sebsebseb> seil: well maybe lubuntu isn't in the repo I don't know, I haven't done it
[19:46] <seil> sebsebseb would I get better performance with the other products?
[19:46] <nostalgicBadger> seil - doesn't matter. the onyl difference is the GUI. you can install the others and switch between them if you find that GNOME is not for you.
[19:46] <seidos> sebsebseb, seil:  you can try out lxde by typing sudo apt-get install lxde
[19:46] <pratik_narain> can somebody help me on sharing internet connection b/w ubuntu and win vista using ethernet cable.
[19:46] <sebsebseb> seidos: hi
[19:46] <almostAg33k> thiebaude: last night i was in the winehq room and some one told me that its my xserver crashing
[19:46] <nostalgicBadger> also, I would strongly recommend creating a separate partition for /home in case you decide to switch distros.
[19:46] <thiebaude> seidos, by the end of 2010 netbooks will a larger markey share
[19:46] <thiebaude> market
[19:46] <GONZALEZR> I see. Well why does the installation freeze on 88% when imorting my Windows documents and settings?
[19:46] <thopiekar> got some problems on karmic getting two old packages removed... linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-10-generic and software-store (!= software-center)
[19:46] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, ahh, ok
[19:46] <defineyourmorals> shane2peru, with your flash issue, what distro/architecture are you using?
[19:47] <seidos> thiebaude: maybe i'll try netbook remix in a virtual machine
[19:47] <almostAg33k> thiebaude: so you familliar?
[19:47] <seil> thiebaude but why are you saying that?
[19:47] <thopiekar> is here the right place for problems somebody get on karmic?
[19:47] <sebsebseb> seil: well it's a netbook, so the hardware won't be that great,  if Virtualbox is still bad, after doing a bit more RAM and Video memory, or whatever #vbox suggest.   you could try VMware player or server, and even  Microsoft Virtualpc hmm
[19:47] <seidos> thiebaude: do you have a netbook?
[19:47] <shane2peru> defineyourmorals: working on Jaunty 64bit, going to use this:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1259102

[19:47] <thopiekar> thanks firecrotch :)
[19:48] <thopiekar> see you soon

[19:48] <defineyourmorals> shane2peru: i have a working fix for jaunty 64. works great with firefox
[19:48] <sebsebseb> seil: I  would avoide Microsoft Virtualpc :)  ,but maybe on that netbook it would be better than the others
[19:48] <geos64> well thanks for help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[19:48] <shane2peru> defineyourmorals: I'm open, I don't use flash a lot, but had uploaded a video to tangle, and wanted to see it, and I can't. lol

[19:49] <nostalgicBadger> I still don't understand running Linux from within Windows... it's only going to be as stable as Windows, and you could always just run a live disk instead
[19:49] <almostAg33k> thiebaude: could it be that i am not using a grafix card? just the onboard?
[19:49] <seidos> thiebaude: dang 512mb of video ram?
[19:49] <shane2peru> defineyourmorals: however when I checked my plugins, I have two flash versions installed, 10r22 and 10rxx something else
[19:49] <geos64> it did not help me :-(
[19:49] <thiebaude> seidos, i better stay ontopic

[19:49] <thiebaude> seidos, yes

[19:49] <r3za> hi guys , how can i install icon pack in ubuntu jaunty ?
[19:49] <r3za> +
[19:50] <MenZa> r3za: System -> Preferences -> Appearance is probably what you want.
[19:50] <pratik_narain> can somebody help me on sharing internet connection b/w ubuntu and win vista using ethernet cable.
[19:50] <nostalgicBadger> seil: make a live disk on a thumb drive and try it out that way. if you don't like it, pop out the drive and you've got windows back
[19:50] <shane2peru> defineyourmorals: will it clean out all my previous flashes?
[19:50] <sebsebseb> seil: nostalgicBadger  has a point you can try a Live CD,  but right it's a netbook, so you don't even have a CD drive right?  well  you can do Ubuntu from USB
[19:50] <eric_> can anyone recommend a good general help chat or help me with a partitioning problem?
[19:50] <thiebaude> seidos, you know what the first thing i did when i got the computer?
[19:50] <shane2peru> defineyourmorals: can you just post the script?  via pastebin I can copy it and paste it that way
[19:50] <seidos> thiebaude: installed ubuntu?
[19:50] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, which graphics card

[19:51] <nostalgicBadger> no CD drive in the netbook -- at least not in my Aspire one, and I don't believe his has one either -- but flash drives work great.

[19:51] <benc> is there an odbc driver for sqlite on ubuntu?
[19:51] <MenZa> r3za: Try dragging the tarball into the window.
[19:51] <eric_> sebsebseb: now when I attempt to start windows in gives a "Cannot find hal.dll" error and I assume that's why
[19:51] <r3za> MenZa: nope , its not work
[19:51] <sebsebseb> seil: probably, because it's running in a virtual machine, plus  some of us get issues like that with FIrefox in Ubuntu
[19:51] <seidos> how much do IBM, HP, Dell, Toshiba pay for a license of windows?
[19:51] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, which dell?
[19:51] <MenZa> r3za: Interesting. I don't have an Ubuntu box at hand, so I can't test it myself. :( Sorry.

[19:54] <nostalgicBadger> r3za - ~/.icons

[19:55] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  My boot splash is currently the default Kubuntu one.  I'd like to make it the *Ubuntu* one.  How do I go about this?
[19:55] <jonaskoelker> I uninstalled the relevant usplash package (kubuntu-artwork-usplash, IIRC)... why's the kubuntu art still there?
[19:55] <sebsebseb> !atittude |  geos64
[19:55] <eric_> alright so is there anywhere else I should look?
[19:55] <Pici> janisoza1r: Yep, thats it.
[19:55] <sebsebseb> !atitude |  geos64
[19:55] <sebsebseb> hmm
[19:55] <thiebaude> !attitude
[19:55] <sebsebseb> thiebaude: ty
[19:55] <nostalgicBadger> r3za - if whomever made the icon pack happened to make it with linux in mind, you can just drop the folder to .icons in your home directory.
[19:55] <janisoza1r> Pici: thanks
[19:55] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, np, man
[19:55] <jonaskoelker> geos64: I can sympathize
[19:56] <geos64> HOW CAN I HAVE patience]
[19:56] <sebsebseb> thiebaude: second time today that I got the spelling wrong for a factoid like that, odd
[19:56] <firecrotch> geos64: What is your current screen resolution?
[19:56] <jonaskoelker> geos64: I've asked ~five different questions in here today, got no answers
[19:56] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, i use to do the one t
[19:56] <geos64> IM IN 6 HOUR
[19:56] <geos64> DAMIT
[19:56] <sebsebseb> !atitude |  geos64
[19:56] <nostalgicBadger> if nobody knows the answer, or if you're not giving anyone enough information to answer your question, what do you expect? nobody here is getting paid.
[19:56] <janisoza1r> !caps | geos64
[19:56] <thiebaude> geos, hang in there if someone has an answer they glad to answer
[19:56] <sebsebseb> geos64: people here are volunters
[19:57] <sebsebseb> geos64: as far as I know no one is being paid to do this
[19:57] <tyler_d> geos64: what was the question please?
[19:57] <firecrotch> geos64: I understand that you are trying to set your screen resolution to 1024x768.  What is it currently set to?
[19:57] <geos64> I WHANT TO FIX MY SREEN SIZE
[19:57] <geos64> 1024x768
[19:57] <sebsebseb> geos64: Which card?
[19:57] <nostalgicBadger> !caps | geos64
[19:57] <sebsebseb> geos64: Did you install a driver?
[19:58] <geos64> it on bord sis mx 660
[19:58] <sebsebseb> geos64: sis oh dear
[19:58] <alkamid> something's changing my cpu scaling preference from ondemand (set by cpufreq-set) to performance - any idea what it might be?
[19:58] <geos64> what driver on ubuntu
[19:58] <jonaskoelker> alkamid: if you find out, will you please let me know?  I have the opposite problem, maybe you solution will help me
[19:59] <sebsebseb> geos64: that explains why you got a problem,  as far as I know sis has no Linux support at all,  and that there isn't any support for sis from the Linux  hardware support reverse enginering people either
[19:59] <alkamid> jonaskoelker: what does "opposite problem" mean?
[19:59] <pradeep> I think beta of karmic has released, is it safe to upgrade jaunty now?
[19:59] <jonaskoelker> alkamid: I want performance, I get clocked down to 800 MHz from time to time
[19:59] <sebsebseb> pradeep: don't do it yet
[19:59] <geos64> so what do i do
[19:59] <jonaskoelker> pradeep: it is never safe to upgrade ubuntu :p
[20:00] <sebsebseb> pradeep: wait untill final
[20:00] <thiebaude> pradeep, im on 9.10 but waiting for the beta updates
[20:00] <jonaskoelker> pradeep: or at least I will say: every time I have upgraded right after the release, I've gotten burned
[20:00] <sebsebseb> thiebaude: I did updates today, so I guess I am on the beta
[20:00] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, exactly
[20:00] <almostAg33k> thiebaude: how could Diablo run fullscreen on xp and not ubuntu and be a memory issue.
[20:00] <sebsebseb> thiebaude: I told it to update myself :)
[20:00] <sebsebseb> !karmic
[20:00] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, how much ram do you have?
[20:01] <sebsebseb> Karmic can still have bugs, even when beta, so  for those  not already on it,  you may as well wait untill the final on October 29th
[20:01] <thiebaude> haha
[20:01] <almostAg33k> thiebaude: 1 512 stick
[20:01] <pradeep> jonaskoelker: can't wait for karmic
[20:01] <thiebaude> sebsebseb, i have bugs , but they are not show stoppers
[20:01] <alkamid> jonaskoelker: maybe try to set lowest and highest freq to 2.2 (or whatever is maximum for you)
[20:01] <sebsebseb> even finals can have bugs, but it won't be as buggy as development versions
[20:01] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, and your in a virtual machine?
[20:01] <thiebaude> with 512mb
[20:01] <jonaskoelker> alkamid: afaik, I don't run any cpu-freq-setting app
[20:02] <almostAg33k> thiebaude: what do you mean virtual machine?
[20:02] <pradeep> thiebaude: hoping that october 29 comes asap
[20:02] <thiebaude> !vm
[20:02] <sebsebseb> geos64: system > administration > hardware drivers
[20:02] <sebsebseb> geos64: anything available? anything for the graphics card I guess not
[20:02] <apparle> !karmic
[20:03] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, my bad then

[20:04] <defineyourmorals> any ideas?
[20:04] <x-warrior> Will the Ubuntu 9.10 Beta launch today?
[20:04] <almostAg33k> im running it using wine, and using a virtual desktop. if i take it off the VD, it crashes. it did run fullscreen once tho
[20:04] <Pici> x-warrior : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[20:04] <x-warrior> Pici,  ok ;)
[20:04] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, im not sure what to tell you
[20:05] <geos64> i dont see enye driver in ther
[20:05] <almostAg33k> thiebaude: does that sound more like drivers? i think i might try and install a new graphics card
[20:05] <len_> ctmjr: sorry about the other time, my net is crappy and keep disconnecting me
[20:06] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, its possible, if it graphics related
[20:06] <len_> who can help me config wlan using console?
[20:06] <thiebaude> !intel
[20:06] <almostAg33k> any one in here know why WINE crashes when i run a game not in a virtual desktop?
[20:06] <len_> n8tuser: I apologise for u too. I lost connection last time
[20:06] <djzn> I have a question... if I use a 32bit Ubuntu, and make a ext4 filesystem and later down the road, If I change this system to 64bit Ubuntu, will I have problems with the partition or filesystem? In other words... does 32/64bit use interfer in anything disc or filesystem wise?
[20:07] <n8tuser> len no sweat
[20:07] <sebsebseb> geos64: I belive it was sis,  the one  with no Linux support
[20:07] <thiebaude> !sis
[20:07] <sebsebseb> geos64: I guess a quick Google and you can find out   what sis is like when it comes to Linux
[20:08] <ctmjr> len is this a wep connection
[20:08] <gcleric> !evolution
[20:08] <len_> ctmjr: no wp2-psk
[20:09] <len_> ctmjr: no, it is a wp2-psk
[20:09] <almostAg33k> is there anything i should do before i install a newer graphics card? or will ubuntu find drivers and stuff?
[20:09] <ctmjr> len_: did you try wicd or you want to use cli
[20:10] <fccf> almostAg33k: what card?
[20:10] <len_> ctmjr: no I dont know what is wicd
[20:10] <almostAg33k> i have a few lying around, but i think a pny
[20:10] <geos64> ok
[20:10] <thiebaude> almostAg33k, after you install do a System-administration-hardware drivers and let ubuntu search for a driver
[20:11] <Mka> djzn: doesnt an Ubuntu release of 32bit differ form that of 64bit? if you change your system to 64bit, then install 64bit version of Ubuntu
[20:11] <almostAg33k> thiebaude: is there a sudo code for that?
[20:11] <djzn> Mka: I meant the Filesystem ext4 itself....
[20:11] <fccf> almostAg33k: pny is a manufacturer that buys licences for video chipsets ... more spacifically what chipset?
[20:11] <Mka> djzn: you are not clear
[20:12] <djzn> is it recommended that I create a ext4 filesystem with 32 bit ubuntu or a 64 bit ubuntu, if later on I will use 64 bit OS only
[20:12] <almostAg33k> feef: i will brb and tell you
[20:12] <len_> ctmjr: what u recommend?
[20:12] <sebsebseb> djzn: uhmm well
[20:12] <alkamid> !undervolting
[20:12] <sebsebseb> djzn: Ext4 isn't perfectly stable in 9.04, because of the kernel they have and that
[20:12] <Pici> djzn: cpu architecture doesn't matter when it comes to the filesystem.
[20:13] <defineyourmorals> python opengl with nvidia graphics card
[20:13] <defineyourmorals> any help
[20:13] <djzn> Pici: it does not interfer whatsoever with filesystems....?
[20:13] <Pici> djzn: Correct.
[20:13] <thiebaude> !details | defineyourmorals
[20:14] <djzn> Pici: i am actually waiting for 9.10 release, for me to start from ZERO....
[20:14] <defineyourmorals> i have given the details multiple times
[20:14] <jonaskoelker> alkamid: does setting the cpu frequency with the gnome panel applet work for you?  It works for me...
[20:14] <djzn> Pici: are the video codecs and stuff stable in 64bit
[20:14] <jonaskoelker> alkamid: that might be _because_ I don't have (again, to the best of my knowledge) any cpu-frequency-setting app running
[20:14] <alkamid> jonaskoelker: no, it doesn't
[20:15] <jonaskoelker> alkamid: (i.e. Ubuntu has some kind of infrastructure for setting cpu frequencies that the applet taps into)
[20:15] <ctmjr> len_: if your on a laptop and use wireless hot spots i would try wicd, it is a gui, you can install it by sudo apt-get install wicd but it will remove the network-manager
[20:15] <defineyourmorals> i am running ubuntustudio 9.04, 64-bit. i run sudo apt-get install python-opengl and get this output http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/283233/
[20:15] <jonaskoelker> alkamid: tried doing so while having your cpu-freq-setting app not running?
[20:15] <alkamid> jonaskoelker: but I've just solved the problem: I had to remove cpufreqd from my system
[20:15] <kn100> whats the command that allows me to upgrade to beta's of ubuntu
[20:15] <almostAg33k> feef: its a pny geforce
[20:15] <kn100> i remember using one to go from 8.10 to 9.04
[20:15] <sebsebseb> kn100: wait untill the final on October 29th
[20:15] <jonaskoelker> alkamid: there we go.  Ubuntu decides what app you should use and wins again :p
[20:15] <kn100> sebsebseb, hell no
[20:16] <almostAg33k> feef" a geforce fx5500
[20:16] <sebsebseb> !karmic |  kn100

[20:16] <alkamid> jonaskoelker: thanks! next step is to get undervolting working

[20:17] <yokobr> !yokobr
[20:17] <len_> that y i were using wconfig wlan0 essid wlan enc mypass
[20:17] <len_> but is not configuring
[20:17] <ctmjr> len_: ok first make sure you have wpasupplicant try sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant
[20:18] <Pici> djzn: Best to ask questions about 9.10 in #ubuntu+1
[20:19] <geos64> WHAT if i do it text mode x11 when it boots
[20:20] <len_> ctmjr: I'll install it brb it will take a while because the computer with linux doesnt have Internet connection
[20:20] <nostalgicBadger> has anyone found that espeak stops working post-suspend? the problem is arising on my Aspire One netbook... I should probably check if my sound is working, actually.
[20:20] <geos64> it shou have a defalt driver for 1024x768
[20:21] <fccf> I have a ssh server running on a non standard port, what is the proper way to connect to it?
[20:21] <ctmjr> len_: ok
[20:21] <len_> ctmjr: apt return msg saying that wpasupplicant is already installed
[20:21] <Pici> fccf: ssh hostname -p portnum
[20:21] <nostalgicBadger> oh, ok. my sound card in general does not work post-suspend. there's probably a thread somewhere. unless anyone happens to know of a solution, i'll just google it
[20:22] <edbian> How do you set up sudo in NIS?
[20:22] <zacard> hi all
[20:23] <edbian> nostalgicBadger: You could try rmmod the module first before suspending.  If it works you could right a simple script.
[20:23] <edbian> s/right/write
[20:23] <ctmjr> len_: ok that's good now make sure it see the network you want to connect too sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[20:23] <fccf> Pici: thank you
[20:23] <daasdingo> hey, I need to flash my bios and dont have a floppy drive, and do not have windows, how do I do this? None of the tutorials on the internet works for me because the bios files are bigger than 1.5MB
[20:24] <len_> ctmjr: it is.
[20:24] <zacard> what bios u have ?
[20:24] <daasdingo> compal jhl90
[20:25] <AstroEl> :D
[20:26] <wavez> I'm using a live CD which has Hardy on it. My video doesn't work unless I use safe graphics mode. My card is an nVidia GeForce 7600 GT
[20:26] <daasdingo> the .ROM  and .WPH files of the bios are 2MB each
[20:26] <cybic> hello all
[20:27] <cybic> am i right here to place a question?
[20:27] <wavez> well, I'm not running Hardy at the moment. Is where should I look for a fix to my video driver issue?
[20:27] <defineyourmorals> cybic: depends on the question
[20:28] <len_> ctmjr: what I do now?
[20:28] <cybic> defineyourmorals: having some trouble to get the trackpoint of my HP NC6400 working at a normal speed...
[20:28] <cybic> defineyourmorals: ubuntu 9.04
[20:29] <cosmiq> test
[20:29] <shane2peru> ok fixed your script > defineyourmorals
[20:29] <len_> ctmjr: I gotta restart brb
[20:29] <shane2peru> defineyourmorals: I closed the pm window, not sure how to get it back. :)
[20:29] <pradeep> how to find the uid and gid of a given user
[20:30] <tyler_d> msn on pidgin still failing
[20:30] <Pici> pradeep: id username
[20:30] <defineyourmorals> cybic: i have not dealt much with trackpoint issues, what do you mean by a normal speed?
[20:30] <wavez> oh well. I gotta start work anyway. I'll try asking later tonight. bfn
[20:30] <ctmjr> len you need to configure your wireless for wpa here is a guide to get it going if you have any questions just ask (i did not write it the credit goes to anonymous) http://pastebin.com/m7cc580b6
[20:30] <len_> kk gonna check it
[20:31] <cybic> defineyourmorals: you know, the speed the mousepointer is flying over the desktop :) i'm able to configurate the touchpad speed, but the trackpoint stays untouched by this configuration
[20:32] <pradeep> Pici: thanks, also i tried cat /etc/passwd and looked for my entry. But your way was easy
[20:33] <meez> A few hours ago I had perfectly working wifi and eth on my laptop. Now, despite both being seemingly fine (and reporting as "Connected"), neither of them are actually working. ifconfig reports I have an ip address, but I can't ping or load anything externally or locally. Any idea what I've goofed up that could stop networking working entirely?
[20:33] <paul68> When you use ssh to connect remotely to the internet using it as tunneling what is the tunneling create for traffing in mb's for instance
[20:33] <nanotube> meez: tried "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" ?
[20:34] <nick> my alt-tab is very slow, I don't have compiz installed, is there a way to make it appear faster
[20:34] <defineyourmorals> cybic: you're saying the mousepoint preferences have no effect on movement when using the trackpoint?
[20:34] <Guest22901> my alt-tab is very slow, I don't have compiz installed, is there a way to make it appear faster
[20:35] <cybic> defineyourmorals: yes, exactly
[20:35] <meez> nanotube: yes. i got a bizzare "ignoring unknown network interface eth1=eth1." error, which appears to be my wireless card
[20:36] <defineyourmorals> cybic: it could be a hardware issue, or your model isn't adequately supported?  i really have no idea which it would be. someone else on the irc may know
[20:36] <meez> although it did [ok] me afterwards
[20:36] <nanotube> meez: hrm, dunno what's up with that...
[20:36] <tyler_d> error log from pidgin is :..http://paste.ubuntu.com/283255/
[20:37] <meez> i was using powertop but i can't think of anything that might have changed
[20:37] <meez> either way it's severely irritating me
[20:37] <cybic> @everybody: does somebody have a clue where i could configurate the trackpoint built in my HP NC6400 on Ubuntu 9.04? THe mouse configuration affects just the touchpad...
[20:38] <cybic> defineyourmorals: thanks anyway :)

[20:39] <Testo> hola  como estas
[20:40] <Testo> estan
[20:40] <darthanubis> bien
[20:40] <darthanubis> y tu?
[20:40] <janiktom> hola, bian :-) /my spanish is realy bad :-)/
[20:40] <ctmjr> !es | estan
[20:40] <paul68> When you use ssh to connect remotely to the internet using it as tunneling what is the tunneling create for traffing in mb's for instance
[20:41] <darthanubis> paul68, rephrase?
[20:41] <subone> My system intermittently "cuts off". The screen goes all random noise for a second then the monitors cut out and any sound that is playing at the time repeats over and over like a skipping record. Then there is nothing to do but turn it off. Any idea what this is a sign of?
[20:41] <darthanubis> subone, test on a non broken system
[20:41] <subone> \test what?
[20:42] <shem> anyone:   Anyone familiar with a fix to the "[Errno 5] Input/output error"  when installing?  Tried different disks/drives.. Installing on Ext3
[20:43] <meez> my wireless card appears to be claiming to be eth1 for some reason despite it being able to scan and "connect" to wireless networks. huh.
[20:43] <subone> darthanubis: what are you suggesting I test? it is an intermittent thing and i have no other system with the same specs as this one
[20:43] <darthanubis> subone, test on known working hardware. ou sound as though you have hardware issues
[20:43] <paul68> darthanubis: meaning when i greate a tunnel from my work towards home how muvh trafic generates the tunnel on the work network
[20:43] <darthanubis> paul68, only you could tell use that
[20:43] <paul68> darthanubis: when surfing the internet
[20:44] <darthanubis> paul68, install etherape or wireshark to get a break down of the traffic of certain packets
[20:44] <subone> darthanubis: what do you mean test? test what? all the other computers in the house work fine... idk what you mean
[20:44] <Nivex> The .zsync files at http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.10/ are older than the .iso files and don't have the correct filenames in them.  Looks like the release mgr needs to rerun zsyncmake.
[20:45] <kn100> I Just had a brainwave for ubuntu
[20:45] <darthanubis> subone, your hardware is fubar. Is that easy to understand?
[20:45] <te> Something very very weird just happened to me.  I was messing with vpnc and all of a sudden I started getting these lines about a module not being loaded and so on.  I tried typing who and got command not found, ls the same thing, images and icons in the ubuntu UI were suddenly X's like they were being deleted.  I cannot for the life of me figure out what happened unless someone rooted my box and rm -rf /'ed it.  Anyone ...
[20:45] <kn100> you know the notify-osd notifications
[20:45] <te> ... have any ideas?  Running super grub boot disk doesnt even find a kernel.
[20:46] <subone> darthanubis: what hardware? anything more specific?
[20:46] <kn100> make them interactive
[20:46] <paul68> darthanubis: I can't access the internet through work, only through ssh tunneling need to be carefull using it cause I could loose my job. thats why I was wondering in what way it's detectable when surfing through the tunnel
[20:46] <ctmjr> !brainstorm | kn100
[20:47] <darthanubis> subone, dude, you computer,PC,machine,boxen is BROKEN. Use another one IF you can to see if this is isolated to that particular machine or not.
[20:47] <kn100> ctmjr, heh
[20:47]  * darthanubis am I speaking English?
[20:47] <te> Does anyone know of any 0day jaunty exploits?
[20:47] <arand> kn100: not gonna happen, untill you defeat the ayatana team in an epic battle...
[20:48] <subone> darthanubis: do you have any idea what you are talking about, what am i supposed to test? i told you none of the other computers i have have the same specs and it is OBVIOUSLY a hardware issue, i'm asking what my particular experience might be linked to
[20:48] <Mortice> Hi. My sound is working fine in every other app, but flash sound is not going to the correct device. All other sounds are going to my USB sound card, but flash is sending its sound to my internal sound card. Any idea how to change this behaviour?
[20:48] <subone> "test it on another computer" tells me nothing
[20:48] <te> Does anyone know of any 0day jaunty exploits?
[20:48] <kn100> arand, hah go on
[20:49] <pradeep> anyone has an idea of speed up firefox using tmpfs
[20:49] <K-Yo> Hello, I have troubles configuring my keyboard, it seems the "Inser" Key does not work...
[20:49] <losher> paul68: If I understand your question, the answer is, the same amount of traffic as a normal connection, plus some overhead for the SSH protocol and its encryption. Normal web browsing probably won't be noticed, but large downloads might...
[20:49] <genii> pradeep: I just prefer using FasterFox addon
[20:49] <paul68> losher: thanks
[20:49] <pradeep> genii: but about tmpfs?
[20:50] <pradeep> genii: ain't it good
[20:50] <genii> pradeep: any time you're running out of ram ond not using hd it's going to be much faster of course
[20:50] <te> Does anyone know of any 0day jaunty exploits?  Does anyone know anything about jaunty security?  I think I was rooted today and am trying to figure out more information.
[20:51] <xiong> I'm about 7 months into Linux and I haven't yet caught on to the meaning of underlined characters in menus. Sometimes they seem to represent keyboard shortcuts invoked by Alt; other times, invoked by Ctrl; other times they seem to do nothing. Yet just about every single item has an underlined character. Could someone point me to docs for this feature?
[20:51] <losher> te: it's extremely rare to be rooted. Can I ask why you think it's happened...
[20:51] <pradeep> genii: hs as in hard disk? yeah just tried that tmpfs tweak
[20:51] <genii> !info chkrootkit | te
[20:52] <pradeep> genii: don't know how fast it will be:-)
[20:52] <Mortice> Hi. My sound is working fine in every other app, but flash sound is not going to the correct device. All other sounds are going to my USB sound card, but flash is sending its sound (through Pulse) to my internal sound card. Any idea how to change this behaviour?
[20:52] <te> losher: I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary really -- I ran sudo vpnc, and then out of nowhere I began to get these error messages about modules not being available or loaded on the command line
[20:52] <te> losher: my home directory was empty with ls
[20:52] <n8tuser> pradeep seems and feels faster
[20:52] <Pici> te: Also: http://www.ubuntu.com/usn
[20:52] <te> this is a brand new drive, ive checked the drive and it's fine
[20:53] <te> i cant boot into ubuntu to check this out
[20:53] <te> because my kernel is gone
[20:53] <pradeep> n8tuser: u tried it?
[20:53] <losher> te: where did vpnc come from?
[20:53] <te> Pici: genii, thanks
[20:53] <te> losher: the regular source everyone else uses
[20:54] <losher> te: then it's even more unlikely to contain an exploit. Are you saying your home directory files have disappeared?
[20:54] <n8tuser> pradeep->  at this moment yes
[20:54] <Chun1> Trying to find a fun way for my younger brother to learn to use the terminal / bash. Are there any terminal games, or um, fun activities, that'll help?
[20:55] <te> losher: it was just very weird -- i've run rm -rf / before and i know its effects, it was acting exactly like that, and when i tried to reboot the system, it couldn't even find GRUB, error 17
[20:55] <genii> !info nethack
[20:55] <genii> hm
[20:55] <te> modules and regular /bin commands started to fall out
[20:55] <te> i would use them, then a minute later they were gone
[20:55] <Pici> Chun1: The bsdgames packages a has a bunch of console based games, also theres moon-buggy
[20:55] <xiong> Chun1, there's got to be some sort of RPG
[20:56] <losher> te: you mentioned a brand new drive? I'd suspect it first...
[20:56] <te> losher: checked the drive out, it's fine
[20:56] <te> no bad sectors, nothing
[20:56] <nostalgicBadger> if my sound dies after suspend, is there something i can run that should get it going again?
[20:57] <dayo> nostalgicBadger: sudo alsa force-reload
[20:58] <te> losher: im at a loss -- ive used linux for a long time, and like i said, i know what rm -rf / looks/feels like
[20:58] <losher> te: what about the vnpc prog you ran as sudo? Is it an install script? Maybe something went wrong with it?
[20:58] <nostalgicBadger> works! thank you.
[20:58] <te> losher: that's possible, but man, it couldn't delete my entire fucking home directory?
[20:58] <te> the damn kernel?
[20:59] <te> someone would have noticed that by now
[20:59] <genii> !language | te
[20:59] <te> yeah yeah i know, sorry
[20:59] <te> losing my whole install has me a little paranoid/angry
[20:59] <dethaddr> hey can anyone help me with drivers?
[21:00] <U-b-u-n-t-u> is it normal for my ram cache to be at 43%
[21:00] <shane2peru> defineyourmorals: apparently it was other updates that I had to reboot, working now!
[21:00] <dethaddr> i just installed a grafix card and need the drivers for a geforce fx5500
[21:00] <SGottl7227> can someone help me with setting up this usb modem.. how do u put the network manager in the system>preferences.. i see it in the applications>add/remove but not in the system>preference
[21:01] <losher> te: I admit I'm only guessing. So how do you plan to proceed...?
[21:01] <genii> te: I did once a similar boo-boo by using sudo on an install script which first wanted to clean out it's home dir by using / as the start for a recursive rm. Was supposed to be run as the user assigned to it, etc
[21:01] <DasEi> dethaddr: checked hardwaredrivers ?
[21:02] <te> genii: that strikes me as weird behavior for vpnc, can you verify that's not the case?
[21:02] <dethaddr> DasEi: what do you mean?
[21:02] <SGottl7227> does anyone know how to get the network manager to show up in the preference area?
[21:02] <te> the files it needs to run are in /etc/vpnc/
[21:02] <te> root is required to run vpnc
[21:02] <te> err sudo at least
[21:02] <DasEi> dethaddr: system > preferences > hardwaredrivers
[21:03] <dethaddr> DasEi: theres no tab for the above mentiond
[21:03] <te> genii: could you take a look at the vpnc script in /etc/vpnc/vpncscript.pl
[21:04] <genii> te: Perl is not my area of expertise. You might want to ask someone else, or in the perl channel
[21:04] <losher> te: well it's not going to fix itself. First step is to close any network vulnerabilities, 2nd step is to restore from whatever backups you have...
[21:04] <te> losher: this was a fairly fresh install, so the loss of data is not my concern
[21:05] <te> what is very concerning is whatever happened to me could potentially happen to someone else
[21:05] <te> in addition to the fact that where i work is very security conscious
[21:05] <te> im trying to verify this was not an exploit before i escalate the situation though
[21:05] <te> err this *was*
[21:05] <subone> How can I move my taskbar to another monitor?
[21:06] <don_martino> hi! i upgraded to 9.10 (don't worry, it works great!) and i noticed it takes a lot longer until the splashscreen appears, compared to 9.04. is that a problem, work in progress, or is that the expected behaviour?
[21:06] <seil> subone drag!
[21:06] <DasEi> dethaddr: k, then you can use envyng :
[21:06] <DasEi> !envyng
[21:06] <subone> seil i tried that doesnt work
[21:07] <dethaddr> so run that in terminal?
[21:07] <Quaoar> hi, i'm trying to report a bug on launchpad and it always sends me to the documentation page
[21:07] <Quaoar> i don't want documentation, i just wanna file a bug report
[21:07] <xmnt> hey anyone know of an alternative to skype that has video support?
[21:07] <Travis-42> does the 64-bit ubuntu work pretty much the same as 32-bit these days in terms of hardware support and software?
[21:07] <te> Travis-42: yes
[21:07] <Whitor> !firewall | whitor
[21:07] <don_martino> xmnt, afaik ekiga has video support
[21:08] <losher> te: well, you can run the chkrootkit stuff. And look through any logs left on your system....
[21:08] <DasEi> dethaddr: install it, run it, does your card show up ?
[21:08] <Travis-42> ok thanks te
[21:08] <marcellus> Hmm. Why isn't a/the global classpath updated when one installs, for example, junit?
[21:08] <dethaddr> DasEi: i dono where to get it.
[21:08] <Quaoar> empathy is really crappy
[21:08] <xmnt> don_martino, do I need some software .. or how does tht work?
[21:09] <te> losher: i will if I can get it to boot
[21:09] <te> i guess i could dd it to another partition/drive
[21:09] <DasEi> dethaddr: sudo apt-get install envyng*
[21:09] <te> and do some forensics
[21:09] <don_martino> xmnt, dunno i'm fairly new to ubuntu but ekiga shipps with ubuntu and is installed by default
[21:09] <U-b-u-n-t-u> is it normal for my ram cache to be at 43% when I am only surfing the net
[21:09] <don_martino> xmnt, i think you only need to sign up and you're ready to go
[21:09] <Quaoar> !bug
[21:10] <te> Quaoar: is that directed at me?
[21:10] <mcrittenden> is lenovo still the way to go for an ubuntu friendly laptop?
[21:11] <DasEi>  U-b-u-n-t-u: check top or htop to see (F6 in htop lets you sort output)
[21:11] <dethaddr> DasEi: its installing now
[21:11] <SGottl7227> does anyone know how to make the network manager appear in the preference area above?
[21:11] <Whitor> why is it that even after disabling my local firewall... local users on my network cannot connect to services running on my machine? They cant even ping me.
[21:11] <Whitor> I'm trying to host a crack-attack game :)
[21:11] <Quaoar> te i don't know what you're talking about
[21:12] <losher> te: boot from a live cd, then go looking for the logs. And (I suppose) check your firewalls...
[21:12] <Whitor> I did a sudo ufw disable ... to no avail
[21:12] <guntbert> U-b-u-n-t-u: how did you determine that value?
[21:12] <Whitor> worked fine on 8.10
[21:12] <n8tuser> Whitor-> what does sudo iptables -L  show?
[21:13] <maple1> !stop
[21:13] <Trizicus> I'm trying to play Runescape and I'm using sun java, I've have my GPU drivers installed, and it lags badly. Can anyone help with this problem?
[21:13] <Petein> hi. my ubuntu 9.04 o/s doesnt seem to find the Intel(R) WIFi Link 5100 AGN card. In the network manager there are no wireless networks shown. the driver of this card it says that it was included from the kernel 2.6.24. what can i do?
[21:13] <losher> te: note that if *I* was trying to take over a machine, the *last* thing I'd do is rm everything or otherwise do anything to draw attention to myself, much less give the owner a reason to reinstall...
[21:13] <Lenin_Cat> /var/lib/dpkg/status got somehow deleted how do I fix this?
[21:13] <dethaddr> what about a sound card update?
[21:13] <trineox> Whitor: a good place to test to see if you have your ports properly set is canyouseeme.org
[21:14] <Whitor> n8tuser, http://pastebin.ca/1588287
[21:14] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: uhoh ...
[21:14] <SGottl7227> can someone help me with modem set up for a usb
[21:14] <guntbert> maple1: whats the matter?
[21:14] <Lenin_Cat> how?
[21:14] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: reinstall
[21:14] <SGottl7227> how do u make the network manager appear in the preference area?
[21:14] <Whitor> trineox, but that would push through my external firewall... which would skew the results
[21:14] <maple1> I'm stoned
[21:14] <Trizicus> I'm trying to play Runescape and I'm using sun java, I've have my GPU drivers installed, and it lags badly. Can anyone help with this problem?
[21:14] <Lenin_Cat> how? I cant use apt-get without that..
[21:14] <n8tuser> Whitor-> you have rules, learn how they work, it may be blocking your services,
[21:14] <Lenin_Cat> compile from source?
[21:15] <Petein> hi. my ubuntu 9.04 o/s doesnt seem to find the Intel(R) WIFi Link 5100 AGN card. In the network manager there are no wireless networks shown. the driver of this card it says that it was included from the kernel 2.6.24. what can i do?
[21:15] <Petein> sorry got disc
[21:15] <te> god damnit -- http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ is down
[21:15] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: that
[21:15] <maple1> my mobo has a bulging cap, but it's a dell from 2006. does that mean my mobo's going to go soon? I've had no blue screens
[21:15] <Whitor> I would like to ~truely~ disable the firewall.... disable iptables maybe ?
[21:15] <n8tuser> SGottl7227-> right click and add the app
[21:15] <Whitor> sudo ufw disable doesn't seem to do it
[21:15] <SGottl7227> right click ok hold on
[21:15] <Lenin_Cat> stefg_, well it was just recently deleted, would it be in trash?
[21:15] <n8tuser> Whitor-> sudo iptables -F
[21:15] <WiZz3> Hey, i have a nvidia geforce 6200 and i'm running ubuntu jaunty, i've installed recommended hardware drivers (version 180) but i cannot turn on extra desktop effects.. any know why ?
[21:15] <SGottl7227> right click where?
[21:16] <trineox> Whitor: well i know i had similar issues, with my machine being access on the internal network but not the outside one..that was how i tested the ports...also make sure your isp isnt blocking the port on the incoming.
[21:16] <sebsebseb> Petein: got disc hmm
[21:16] <n8tuser> SGottl7227-> right click at the bar and add to the panel  your app
[21:16] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: that's the problem. your package database is gone. that means your system is hosed, that's the single most important file for a debian/ubuntu. get your personal stuff of the disk and do a completely new install
[21:16] <sebsebseb> Petein: yeah with the Windows driver?
[21:16] <Whitor> trineox, this is all local that I'm talking about
[21:16] <Whitor> Not ISP involved
[21:16] <Whitor> Not = no
[21:16] <Trizicus> what is the addon called that allows you to double click an apps title bar and it slides up?
[21:16] <SGottl7227> OK NT. HODL ON
[21:16] <Petein> sebsebseb: what? i'm into windows now and its fine
[21:16] <Trizicus> emerald or something?
[21:17] <pluto> uto
[21:17] <Whitor> Trizicus, windowshade
[21:17] <Lenin_Cat> stefg_, but cant I just recompile it?
[21:17] <andre-r> hallo
[21:17] <DasEi> te: sgd confirmed
[21:17] <Trizicus> what is emerald?
[21:17] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: your system is toast
[21:17] <Whitor> emerald is a decorator
[21:17] <SGottl7227> I DON'T SEE NETWORK MANAGER THERE
[21:17] <Lenin_Cat> stefg_, but cant I just recompile it?
[21:17] <sebsebseb> Petein: I was wondering why after putting your issue you put,  sorry got disc
[21:17] <stefg_> no
[21:17] <Lenin_Cat> why not?
[21:17] <Trizicus> i think that's what i wanted
[21:17] <Whitor> compiz is a window manager Trizicus
[21:17] <losher> Lenin_Cat: I think you may have to reinstall from scratch. You could try recreating an empty status file and see if apt-get will let you reinstall packages. The list of installed packages should be in /var/log/dpkg*
[21:17] <DasEi> dethaddr: does your card show up ?
[21:17] <stefg_> !apt | Lenin_Cat
[21:17] <SGottl7227> i see modem monitor
[21:17] <Trizicus> i know that
[21:17] <Fox3211> Hey all!! While playing openarena i can't get my mouse to go outside the game window. How do you do this? I know it is probably a simple keystroke.
[21:17] <Petein> sebsebseb: i just installed firefox and chatzilla and i closed firefox accidentially
[21:18] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: do you have a backup?
[21:18] <sebsebseb> SGottl7227: try not to type in caps online, because it means shouting
[21:18] <Lenin_Cat> not of that file
[21:18] <Whitor> Trizicus, compiz is responsible for handling the windowshade operation
[21:18] <Whitor> if you are running compiz ...
[21:18] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: i mean of the whole system ?
[21:18] <Lenin_Cat> losher, how do you create a blank file from scratch
[21:18] <sebsebseb> Petein:  ok and?  your on a live cd?
[21:18] <Lenin_Cat> stefg_, nay
[21:18] <trineox> Whitor: ok sorry.....sorry for late reply trying to think about your problem.
[21:18] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: reinstall time
[21:18] <Lenin_Cat> but /home is on a seperate partition
[21:18] <Petein> sebsebseb: now im on windoze
[21:18] <Lenin_Cat> losher, how do you create a blank file from scratch?
[21:18] <WiZz3> I have a nvidia geforce 6200 and i'm running ubuntu jaunty, i've installed recommended hardware drivers (version 180) but i cannot turn on extra desktop effects.. anyone know why ?
[21:19] <xiong> I'm starting to become productive again! Well worth the investment. This reminds me of the time I decided to switch to the Dvorak keyboard layout. For a month, I couldn't touch well with either layout. Then I regained my former speed on Dvorak; after another month, I was able to switch reasonably well back to Qwerty, too; then my speed picked up with Dvorak. Same thing with Linux/Ubuntu/Gnome (except the timeframe is a bit longer).
[21:19] <trineox> Whitor: ping doesnt work either way to or from your machine?
[21:19] <sebsebseb> Petein: your in Windows, but you want to configure the wireless in Ubuntu?
[21:19] <SGottl7227> i have a modem pic on top now
[21:19] <Petein> sebsebseb: just to write some things down and try them in a while
[21:19] <Whitor> trineox, only to my machine
[21:19] <Trizicus> Whitor: It is emerald that I wanted
[21:19] <gdoteof> anyone familiar with RoR?  I needed to upgrade to the latest rake, so i did aptitude remove rake, then sudo gem install rake.  now running rake doesn't work
[21:19] <gdoteof> i am not sure where it sits
[21:19] <losher> Lenin_Cat: sudo touch /var/lib/dpkg/status. Are you sure there's no backup. In my system I have /var/lib/dpkg/status-old ?
[21:20] <Petein> gdoteof: Ruby on Rails ??
[21:20] <sebsebseb> Petein: well you need to be in the Ubuntu install or on the Live CD, to fix wireless
[21:20] <gdoteof> petein, yes
[21:20] <Petein> gdoteof: no idea
[21:20] <Lenin_Cat> losher, ah! yes there is
[21:20] <Lenin_Cat> thanks
[21:20] <Whitor> trineox, do I need to reboot after doing ufw disable ?
[21:20] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  Petein
[21:20] <Petein> sebsebseb: the wireless wasnt found from the live cd either
[21:20] <Petein> sebsebseb: now what
[21:20] <trineox> Whitor: It wouldnt hurt to reboot to refresh the settings
[21:20] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: so you see: backups are the only cure for murphys law :-)
[21:21] <Fox3211> Hey all!! While playing openarena i can't get my mouse to go outside the game window. How do you do this? I know it is probably a simple keystroke.
[21:21] <sebsebseb> Petein: you find out what wireless you have exactly, and then  try and find a driver for it, and if you find one, you try and install it,  if there is no luck with any of that, and you have the Windows driver you can try ndiswrapper
[21:21] <losher> Lenin_Cat: I'd like to know how you managed to delete /var/lib/dpkg/status in the first place...
[21:21] <trineox> Whitor: only thing i am wondering is are you using a router?
[21:21] <Lenin_Cat> dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 6284:
[21:21] <Lenin_Cat>  field name `Original' must be followed by colon
[21:21] <Lenin_Cat> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[21:21] <Petein> sebsebseb: WPA-PSK
[21:21] <Whitor> trineox, nope
[21:21] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: i'd be interested, too
[21:21] <Lenin_Cat> losher, it was giving me a error saying that file was corrupt
[21:21] <Lenin_Cat> :P
[21:22] <ZykoticK9> Fox3211, openarena grabs your mouse, this is desired - if you could move your mouse outside the window playing would be close to impossible -- simply close openarena if you want your mouse back?
[21:22] <losher> Lenin_Cat: so you deleted it?
[21:22] <sebsebseb> Petein: wireless chipset  or whatever, that's what the native Linux drivers are for
[21:22] <Whitor> trineox, the only thing that changed was installing 9.04 .... works fine on the laptop sitting next to me running 8.10
[21:22] <SGottl7227> i was saying i see a pic of a modem above in the bar
[21:22] <Whitor> using the same wireless access point
[21:22] <stefg_> Lenin_Cat: then you should look at at your filesystem and your hardware. losing your package database is fatal
[21:22] <trineox> Whitor: well cool that narrows it down for sure
[21:22] <SGottl7227> but now network manager
[21:22] <n8tuser> Whitor-> sudo iptables -F   <-- you've done this?
[21:22] <Petein> sebsebseb: ive read that this driver was included in the kernel from kernel 2.6.34
[21:22] <Petein> 2.6.24 sorry
[21:22] <SGottl7227> but no
[21:23] <Fox3211> ZykotickK9: I understand. but i would like to be able to go out and check something. then come back. How can i do that in gnome?
[21:23] <Lenin_Cat> stefg_, nope, used -old its fine
[21:23] <Petein> sebsebseb: 2.6.24 sorry
[21:23] <Whitor> n8tuser, yeah, and I posted the pastebin ^^
[21:23] <ZykoticK9> Fox3211, if alt+tab doesn't do it - I don't know of another way.  Good luck.
[21:23] <Whitor> n8tuser,  http://pastebin.ca/1588287
[21:23] <losher> stefg_: actually, hitting ctrl-c at the wrong time can mess up the status file. I've seen it before. Lazy python programmers...
[21:23] <sebsebseb> Petein: ok usaully I don't attempt  helping with wireless,  other than giving the bot link, since it's not really my area.   Nothing under system > administration > hardware drivers for it?
[21:23] <SGottl7227> can someone help me. i am trying to set up a usb modem
[21:24] <DaZ> SGottl7227: we can't
[21:24] <n8tuser> Whitor-> you have rules, learn how they work, it may be blocking your services,
[21:24] <Petein> sebsebseb: are there any drivers to enable usually?
[21:24]  * alexsander is trying to run 2 ubuntu's 9.04 (one is under vmware)
[21:24] <SGottl7227> maybe i will try that canocil paid support
[21:24] <sebsebseb> patholio: depends on the hardware
[21:24] <Petein> sebsebseb: i never used wireless from a laptop before.im completely lost
[21:24] <SGottl7227> i think it is 54 for a year
[21:24] <Whitor> n8tuser, worked fine before... Now I've got to be an iptable expert to use my system ? This seems like a step backward
[21:25] <sebsebseb> Petein: look under that to see if there is a driver, there probably won't be one though
[21:25] <n8tuser> Whitor-> firewalling is a serious business, you need to do more studying
[21:25] <losher> alexsander: I run ubuntu inside ubuntu/vmware. It works fine...
[21:25] <Petein> sebsebseb: ok lets assume that it doesnt.what should i do next?
[21:25] <Fox3211> alt+tab doesn't work :( How do I get control of my mouse back outside of a window in gnome (running openarena)?
[21:25] <vagrant> can someone indicate a graphical serial port emulator for ubuntu?
[21:25] <cybic> still looking for a hint, where to configurate my trackpoint on hp nc6400
[21:25] <Petein> sebsebseb: ive read to d/l the driver buts it says that it was included from the 2.6.24 kernel version
[21:25] <cybic> :(
[21:26] <sebsebseb> Petein: the wireless documentation the  bot links to is meant to be good,  but wireless is  one of those things,  it doesn't tend to be that easy to configure, unless you know what your doing
[21:26] <Whitor> n8tuser, were talking a game on a local network. I just want the software to work.  Users shouldn't have to be iptables experts to be able to use Apt installed software
[21:26] <Petein> sebsebseb: i dont know where to start... :(
[21:27] <Whitor> ufw disable apparently doesn't disable the firewall
[21:27] <n8tuser> Whitor-> you have additional requirements, i dont know what yours are
[21:27] <trineox> n8tuser: hey couldnt Whitor scan his internal ip to make sure the port is open?
[21:27] <sebsebseb> Petein: reading the wireless documentation that the bot gave is a start, and  there are people that come in here that can help you with it properly,  but you just got to wait from them, and repeate your issue
[21:27] <sebsebseb> Petein: or  you can do a thread about your wireless on the forum
[21:27] <Whitor> trineox, good idea, I'm doing an angryipscan from another computer
[21:27] <Petein> sebsebseb: alright
[21:27] <sirGuest> sebsebseb, its good to see you again
[21:28] <n8tuser> trineox-> he can if he wants, but having firewall rules may inhibit responses, and goes to the black hole
[21:28] <mbn_18> Hi, I sshed from my Ubuntu desktop to a CentOS server. when I click F1 in the CentOS setup software the Ubuntu help program start and not the function in the shell. Any idea?
[21:28] <Whitor> Yeah... I don't show up
[21:28] <Whitor> What the heck does ufw disable do ?
[21:28] <sebsebseb> sirGuest: not sure who you are, and if you want to chat to me, well pm
[21:28] <sirGuest> how do I change the color of the bar at the top of the screen?
[21:28] <trineox> n8tuser: well i had a similar issue and thats how i figured it out
[21:28] <Whitor> I shouldn't need to reboot ... but maybe I do ... back in a few
[21:28] <DasEi> !info ufw | Whitor
[21:29] <sirGuest> how do I change the color of the bar at the top of the window*
[21:29] <n8tuser> trineox-> cool
[21:29] <sebsebseb> !forums |  Petein
[21:29] <Petein> sebsebseb: i know the forums
[21:30] <MongoTheMad> sirGuest, which bar? the menu bar or the window itself?
[21:30] <cubiczee> Has anyone tried skype with gaim lately?
[21:30] <sirGuest> MongoTheMad, the window. It was a typo
[21:30] <dethaddr> DasEi: now that this has installed what should i do.
[21:30] <sebsebseb> Petein: ok good, and  I am pretty sure that was the first time I used that factoid
[21:30] <trineox> n8tuser: ya i also had a problem with my isp blocking port 445 for my remote router...i had to nano the some files to fix it
[21:31] <n8tuser> Whitor-> sudo iptables -F   <-- you've done this?  you did not do this.. read carefully
[21:31] <DasEi> dethaddr: (!caution, will log you off) sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[21:31] <trineox> n8tuser: I didnt see him come back yet
[21:32] <VCoolio> sirGuest: change your window border theme (metacity), check on gnome-look.org; also most gtk themes will come with their own window border theme; in the theme appearance window click 'customize' and then the tab 'borders'
[21:32] <Whitor> sudo ufw status gives : Status: inactive .... it is obviously not
[21:32] <zzz2009> Hi everyone, I am new here so if i screw up sorry
[21:32] <meez> Networking suddenly stopped (wlan and wired), however worked on the livecd environment. So to try and fix my problem, I formatted/reinstalled my / partition leaving /home/ in tact. However, even after a reinstall networking STILL isn't working. What could possibly be stored in /home/ that is breaking networking? I really can't figure it out. I get an IP address and a "Connection Established" but nothing responds, I can't ping anything. Where
[21:33] <Whitor> 8.10 was so much better than 9.04. I've had so many issues since reloading that I didn't have with 8.10
[21:33] <Whitor> most I've been able to work through
[21:33] <trineox> Whitor: i wouldnt know ive only been using 9.4 for awhile
[21:34] <MongoTheMad> Is anyone aware that the tracker for the 9.10 beta is down? or is it just me?
[21:34] <switchgirl> i started up the softphone just now and "Ekiga is already running, if you want it to call a given SIP, H.323, or callto address, please use "ekiga -c address". that is the error i got
[21:34] <U-b-u-n-t-u> DasEi, and guntbert .......... here is a screen shot http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/4170/screenshotao.png

[21:35] <meez> well hell with this; archlinux or xp, whichever cd i find first

[21:37] <amerinese> Anyone using the fish shell?  What's the "]2;fish" before the prompt mean and how do I get rid of it?
[21:37] <Whitor> ok.... using iptables... How can I enable anyone and everyone access to port 8080 on my machine ?
[21:37] <amerinese> Also it beeps, and it doesn't happen at every line, just once in awhile
[21:38] <u5penok> my congrads people,  seems 9.10 wil be awesome
[21:38] <U-b-u-n-t-u> DasEi, its firefox
[21:38] <Whitor> ufw disable, should freaking disable the firewall.  I hope 9.10 is better
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> its great :)
[21:39] <u5penok> yeah )
[21:39] <limpbzkit> how can tell me how can I install my wirelles driver in ubuntu
[21:39] <Bolvadur_> u5penok: I disagree, it was the best version until it came out
[21:40] <VCoolio> 9.04 s*cks -1
[21:40] <DasEi> U-b-u-n-t-u: so you have the cache in background, try to delete history (formerly delete private data), restart it after : sudo killall firefox ;; which version ff do you use ?
[21:40] <Bolvadur_> limpbzkit: what driver?
[21:40] <u5penok> so many new stuffs
[21:40] <U-b-u-n-t-u> DasEi,  if I use firefox or opera its the same result...........
[21:40] <U-b-u-n-t-u> ok
[21:40] <u5penok> 9.04 was like 8.10
[21:40] <U-b-u-n-t-u> DasEi, firefox 3.0.14

I would like to make /usr and /home sub-directories of /data without using lvm any suggestions on how best to do this?
[21:41] <u5penok> of course good but 9.10 is just excelent

[21:42] <aifnord> does anyone know how you can get to the display resolution dialog in gnome without going through the main menubar? I ran an old game in wine, and it set the resolution to 640x480, so the menubar isn't visible

[21:42] <larsemil> ActionParsnip: i only have a .bashrc_vanilla
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> larsemil: gedit ~/.bashrc
[21:43] <stapel> what is a good gmail notifier to use with karmic? something that use the new notification system preferably.
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> larsemil: you need to have a ~/.bashrc

[21:43] <ActionParsnip> larsemil: you can so: sudo cp /root/.bashrc ~/; sudo chown $USER:USER ~/.bashrc
[21:44] <larsemil> ActionParsnip: moved the vanilla one to .bashrc and it worked
[21:44] <ikonia> zzzzzZZZZzzz: what ?
[21:44] <larsemil> thanks
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> larsemil: then close your terminal and reopen
[21:44] <VCoolio> aifnord: what if you run 'killall gnome-panel'? maybe they respawn right with the new resolution
[21:44] <younder> you might wanna sudo passwd root
[21:44] <ikonia> younder: please don't recommend that without a good reason
[21:44] <younder> If you want to log in in console mode
[21:44] <abhishek_> i cannot use "su" command ...authentication fails everytime....i am using the same password as the one i use for loggging in to the system
[21:44] <ikonia> younder: no - that has nothing to do with logging into the console
[21:45] <ikonia> !sudo | abhishek_
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> abhishek_: use: sudo -s
[21:45] <U-b-u-n-t-u> DasEi, but it happens with opera too
[21:45] <younder> ikonia: Yes, the boot only let's you log in as root!
[21:45] <ikonia> younder: no it doesn't
[21:45] <younder> so if you windows login get's boged that is your only option
[21:45] <ikonia> younder: and the recovery console will also auto log you in -
[21:46] <ikonia> younder: thats very wrong
[21:46] <DasEi> U-b-u-n-t-u: your specs ? how much ram all ?
[21:46] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Das 2 gigs ddr2 pc 4200
[21:46] <younder> look I have a boged login, and haven't been able to log into ubuntu for 4 days
[21:46] <WinterWeaver> just installed Miro, and it broke all video on my ubuntu. I now removed it, but how can I fix video? I'm getting this error: GStreamer encountered a general stream error
[21:46] <ikonia> younder: ok - that's nothing to do with root logins though
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> younder: could boot to livecd and chroot, then make a new user
[21:47] <younder> And it will only let me log in as root which is impossible as I don't have a root password
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> younder: can you boot to recovery root console?
[21:47] <ikonia> younder: that's nonsense - how do you know it will only let you login as root if you can't login as root ?
[21:47] <zzz2009> Ok,I'll ask my ? a different way, is possible to"mount /data/var as /var
[21:48] <younder> It asks me for a root password
[21:48] <ikonia> younder: did you set a root password ?
[21:48] <Guest64559> hey everyone. i just installed gentoo 2008.0 from kubuntu 8.04 live cd. when i boot i get the eth0 : timed out message. i'm using a PPPoE connection and am currently under the live CD. any suggestions?
[21:48] <zzz2009> I have tried mount --bind but that did not seem to work
[21:48] <younder> It does not ask me for a login name
[21:48] <younder> ikonia: no
[21:48] <ikonia> younder: that is the only senario recovery mode would ask you for a root password is if you set a personal root password
[21:48] <dooglus> !usb
[21:48] <ikonia> zzz2009: you could look at loop back file systems
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> zzz2009: no you dont moount a folder to another, you could symlink the folder.
