[04:16] <RudyValencia> guess i'll go back to windows
[04:16] <greezmunkey> acerimmer_: wow, like they just don't want to play nice together.
[04:16] <kassah> cody__, I havn't played any games through it... I mostly use it for IM for my buddies who don't use any other IM service. sorry... the UI is very laggy for me.
[04:16] <alonea> acerimmer_: ok, I went under alsamixer and played with stuff. Now he hears static, and when I turn mic up, static gets louder
[04:16] <acerimmer_> xangua: yes compiz.  used ubuntu tweak.  is there a command to reset gcong??
[04:17] <cody__> kassah: ya its too laggy to play anything. im sure there is a way to get games to play smoothly
[04:17] <xangua> acerimmer_: then search in ubuntu tweak what you modified
[04:17] <acerimmer_> alonea: so u made proress then!  lol.  So many variables...
[04:17] <piyushmishra> hi how do i make my 2nd hard disk load directly without mounting and unmounting all the time on 10.04 LTS ?
[04:17] <RudyValencia> i can't do anything over vnc without shift key and with it being so dog-slow
[04:17] <acerimmer_> xangua: tried that.  looking for a terminal alternative
[04:18] <greezmunkey> I read some security papers this morning that mentions one of the worst things you can do is use scripts like ubuntu tweak, is that about right?
[04:18] <coderipper> piyu: you need to edit fstab to mount on boot.
[04:18] <bastid_raZor> greezmunkey: ubuntu tweak is the lazy way and in my opinion goes right with envyng
[04:18] <alonea> acerimmer_: ok, on one forum it said pulseaudio = bad and to get rid of it. might as well try...
[04:18] <acerimmer_> alonea: i wouldn't do that if i wuz u...
[04:18] <coderipper> me, either.
[04:19] <Sereph> im trying to recover a ubuntu 10.04 install.. grub menu comes up and then ubuntu splash screen.. then it just shows a black screen
[04:19] <alonea> acerimmer_: *shurgs* I can always reinstall it. I have never even heard of pulse audio. used to the older stuff
[04:19] <greezmunkey> bastid_raZor: there you go!
[04:19] <surplusxmas> I have an HP HDX notebook equipped with an SD•MS/Pro•MMC•XD card reader manufactured by JMicron Technology Corp. How can I get Ubuntu to recognize and operate it?
[04:20] <piyushmishra> coderipper: how do i do that?
[04:20] <acerimmer_> brb.  Gotta see if i just frakked my gconf...
[04:20] <Reldo> hey guys
[04:21] <nigtv> Hi, I cant seem to get the UUID for my swap with blkid
[04:21] <greezmunkey> surplusxmas: there is some help if you google "ubuntu sd reader" - you could try that...
[04:21] <kassah> cody__, I generally setup one .wine directory per game... and steam doesn't let me do that...
[04:21] <nigtv> i sudo blkid /dev/sda5
[04:21] <kassah> cody__, so I find it very hard to use in linux.
[04:21] <Reldo> anybody here use backtrack?
[04:21] <surplusxmas> greezmunkey: Thank you. I will try that out.
[04:21] <nigtv> just returns "type=swap"
[04:21] <ShroudedCloud> Hey, I'm running a LiveUSB of 10.04 on a laptop and everytime I go to run the install program, it automatically shuts down, any ideas of what's up?
[04:21] <RudyValencia> hello?
[04:21] <iantlopp> I'm trying to get a shuttlepro working with ubuntu lucid, but can't find any way of testing the buttons, etc... is there a way to see the input from a USB HID device in ubuntu?
[04:22] <Reldo> @shrouded, check the boot disc for errors, could be a bad burn, cheap media, scratches, or the BIOS may need to be reset
[04:22] <bastid_raZor> nigtv: ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/   and elimate the UUID's you see via blkid
[04:22] <kassah> iamm, cat /dev/input/event*
[04:22] <kassah> iamm, one of those files
[04:22] <kassah> iamm, don't use the *
[04:23] <hmmwhatsthisdo> Hey, is anyone able to connect to the Ubuntu Releases torrent tracker?
[04:23] <IdeAleSs> is there a way to change how long notifications are shown for?
[04:23] <iantlopp> kassah: are you talking to me?
[04:23] <hufx> nigtv: is it not listed in /etc/fstab?
[04:23] <kassah> iantlopp, yeah... sorry...
[04:23] <iantlopp> kassah: it's okay... one of the reasons I try not to use autocomplete
[04:24] <hmmwhatsthisdo> anyone? I'm trying to get the i386 install of Lucid, and the torrent is not working now.
[04:24] <iantlopp> heh
[04:24] <hmmwhatsthisdo> it appears that the torrent tracker is down.
[04:24] <kassah> iantlopp, hehe... yeah... but it should at least give you gobbly-gook when you do something with the HID device...
[04:25] <iantlopp> kassah: I'm getting no such file or directory (probably because I'm a horrible newb at this)
[04:25] <duckwars> I made a script that converts videos by using an FFMPEG command... I was wondering if there is someway I can make it convert a list of videos with one command
[04:25] <halorgium> duckwars: bash loops?
[04:25] <wiggles> duckwars: i use GNU rm for that
[04:25] <kassah> iantlopp, first... cd to the dir /dev/input/
[04:25] <kassah> iantlopp, then do ls
[04:25] <hmmwhatsthisdo> can anyone even hear/see me?
[04:26] <ShroudedCloud> hmmwhatsthisdo, yes.
[04:26] <duckwars> halorgium: I'm not sure what loops are... I was BARELY able to put the script together
[04:26] <iantlopp> there, kassah
[04:26] <duckwars> wiggles: what is GNU rm?
[04:26] <kassah> iantlopp, that should list the directory... there should be like event0-5.. or more... or less
[04:26] <zee52> wats a good video capture card software for ubuuntu?
[04:26] <bastid_raZor> hmmwhatsthisdo: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent    .. this started immediately after adding it to tranmission..
[04:26] <iantlopp> 1-14 and a few extras... mouse0-3, mice, js0
[04:26] <iantlopp> etc..
[04:26] <wiggles> duckwars: its a tool to convert videos
[04:26] <halorgium> duckwars: i think wiggles is playing a trick on you
[04:26] <acerimmer_> hmmm.  got my window controls back and will have to rebuild the panels.  oh well.
[04:27] <halorgium> duckwars:        rm - remove files or directories
[04:27] <wiggles> duckwars: just rm *.avi or whatever
[04:27] <duckwars> wiggles: i see, rm command
[04:27] <kassah> iantlopp, do... cat event# (replacing # with the number of the event)... then do somethign with the hid device (press the button) if something shows up... then it was the right one =)
[04:27] <duckwars> yes, lolerskates were ridden
[04:27] <IdleOne> duckwars: rm is the command used to remove/delete files
[04:27] <acerimmer_> duckwars: as in frack your file system
[04:27] <hmmwhatsthisdo> bastid_raZor: Ok. It's not even connecting to the tracker server after adding it into *any* torrent client. It appears that the tracker is down on my end.
[04:27] <iantlopp> zee52: from what I've heard, Kino captures video well.
[04:27] <wiggles> halorgium: no thats redhat rm
[04:27] <zee52> ok ty
[04:27] <kassah> iantlopp, do that to each event... if none of them match.. then it's proboly not working.
[04:27] <iantlopp> ahh, thanks Kassah
[04:27] <halorgium> wiggles: actually gentoo, but close ;)
[04:27] <wiggles> GNU rm is different
[04:27] <IdleOne> wiggles: either offer good advice starting right now or be banned. last warning
[04:27] <iantlopp> well I've got to reattach the device :)
[04:27] <kassah> iantlopp, unfortunately I cannot stay... being called to dinner... good luck!
[04:27] <iantlopp> thanks very much for the help kassah
[04:27] <Kbca> oal galera
[04:28] <halorgium> wiggles: though gentoo uses GNU coreutils, so it is the same :P
[04:28] <bastid_raZor> hmmwhatsthisdo: not sure how that would be but if you say so.
[04:28] <acerimmer_> wiggles: man rm shows it as "remove files or directories".  proceed with caution
[04:28] <iantlopp> kassah: AWESOME!! okay, it's event16
[04:28] <nigtv> how would I go about updating/installing grub2 on a harddrive while running in livecd?
[04:28] <iantlopp> was easy enough to find as it showed up on LS after I plugged it into the system.
[04:28] <wiggles> i use it to convert media, like if i want avi to mpeg, i just do rm *.avi *.mpg
[04:28]  * iantlopp likey linux
[04:28] <JHAY> hello all...i am very new to ubuntu
[04:29] <bastid_raZor> !grub2 | nigtv  follow the guide
[04:29] <halorgium> wiggles: gimme a shell on your box, i wanna try your rm out!
[04:29] <acerimmer_> JHAY: greetings
[04:29] <iantlopp> jhay: same here, good to see you :)
[04:29] <nigtv> bastid_raZor: there now, ill read again
[04:29] <JHAY> i just installed on hp mini 311 netbook alongside my windows 7...install went smoothly but boot hangs right after selecting os
[04:29] <hmmwhatsthisdo> bastid_raZor: It may just be my torrent client "having a moment"
[04:29] <JHAY> and i have no idea what to do
[04:29] <greezmunkey> rm has been around for ages, from the wiki:The 1971 version of rm did not have any of the options that current versions have., so there :P
[04:29] <acerimmer_> JHAY: did u install as dual boot or as wubi?
[04:29] <nigtv> im just having trouble updating the file because im not running from the device im updating
[04:29] <test34> jhay, its hanging smooth?
[04:29] <JHAY> dual boot
[04:30] <nigtv> very confusing
[04:30] <asina12> hi...anyone has used internet exploter under wine?
[04:30] <bastid_raZor> nigtv: it talks about chroot 'ing to your existing install
[04:30] <test34> asina12, many did
[04:30] <acerimmer_> JHAY: did it EVER boot?
[04:30] <JHAY> nope
[04:30] <JHAY> it installed fine from usb but would not ever boot
[04:31] <brax> Will someone explain to me how hash functions are used for passwords?
[04:31] <acerimmer_> JHAY: can u boot windows or do u get NO boot?
[04:31] <asina12> test34: oh...okay...i just want to ask, are there any issues if the website needs the directx plugin?
[04:31] <JHAY> also the first time i tried to boot windows it did not boot but then it ran a file check on C: and now windows boots fine
[04:32] <JHAY> except that randomly my clock was reset 4 hours behind normal time...weird bug
[04:32] <acerimmer_> JHAY: good.  sounds like some grub config issues.  you're running 10.04 ubuntu desktop?
[04:32] <JHAY> 10.04 netbook
[04:32] <test34> asina12, I didnt know you could have a website that used directx, do you have an example?
[04:32] <acerimmer_> JHAY: not a bug on the time thing.  not sure if it's setting manually or leaving the time to computer sync but one of them throws the clock
[04:33] <edev> Hi, all. Why is Ubuntu Desktop 64-bit not recommended for daily desktop use, if I may ask?
[04:33] <asina12> test34: sorry...I meant an activex plugin
[04:33] <acerimmer_> JHAY: confirm - you're running ubuntu notebook edition?
[04:33] <JHAY> netbook, yeah
[04:33] <govatent> Hello. I have virtualbox installed in lucid and for some reason after every reboot I have to run  /etc/init.d/vboxdrv start by hand. is there a way to auto start the driver?
[04:33] <acerimmer_> JHAY: try to boot the recovery mode
[04:34] <acerimmer_> if u get in, use your repair options
[04:34] <JHAY> okay...i did try to boot recovery once
[04:34] <bastid_raZor> !boot | govatent
[04:34] <JHAY> it seemed as though it was booting fine...loading controls/ whatever, but hung in the same way after about 10 seconds
[04:34] <bastid_raZor> govatent: /etc/rc.local is where you'll want to add your script
[04:35] <govatent> thank you for the advice bastid_raZor
[04:35] <test34> asina12, I wouldnt be surprised if there was issues with activex
[04:35] <greezmunkey> asina12: Check this out: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/running-internet-explorer-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[04:36] <Sereph> how can I decrypt my home directory permanantly
[04:36] <Sereph> from a chroot as its not bootable

[04:36] <skrite> i installed unetbootin from aur, how do i run it?

[04:37]  * Octavi0 Frustrated with ati 9200 Radeon
[04:37] <acerimmer_> JHAY: i think this is the tutorial you want.  take your time, follow the instructions.  if you got the installation done, then your file system is in place.  reinstalling should be your very last option.  http://tolearnfree.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-to-fix-grub2-on-ubuntu-910.html
[04:37] <Onikukki> I am struggling to set my Ubuntu display to native res in VirtualBox. Could someone help me? =]
[04:37] <test34> asina12, there is issues even if you use windows, so there is probably issues in a virtual machine too;)
[04:37] <govatent> i forgot i could do that. thanks greezmunkey
[04:37] <JHAY> appreciate it
[04:38] <acerimmer_> Onikukki: don't think it can be done.
[04:38] <masterslakk> onikukki, vbox
[04:38] <masterslakk> #vbox
[04:38] <Onikukki> Thanks
[04:38] <asina12> test34: um...but the site I am interested in is rendering perfectly fine under windows....r u referring to activex in general?
[04:39] <greezmunkey> asina12: did you see that url I gave you, it deals with IEs4Linux, it may work for you.
[04:39] <joesuffceren> trying to resize an FAT32 partition with parted and keep getting "unable to satisfy all constraints on the partition". did some googling and didn't find anything applicable. any thoughts?
[04:40] <asina12> greezmunkey: sorry...I just noticed it
[04:40] <test34> asina12, I'm just referring to bugs in general..

[04:43] <casa> yes, i ask to #debian jet, better, never foult
[04:44] <greezmunkey> s/standatr/standard - (new keyboard, heh)
[04:44] <iamm> anyone could help?
[04:45] <Coded1> my mobo supports an integrated HDMI audio and regular audio card/device.  Its hooked up to my tv via HDMI so I want all audio going through HDMI I found various pages that tell you how to alter the way the modules are loaded but in this case both modules are named the same.  how do I get all the audio going directly to hdmi ?
[04:45] <bastid_raZor> casa: this channel is for Ubuntu. there is no debian assistance provided.
[04:45] <SuperMiguel> when using openbox, and menu, where do you edit the menus?

[04:47] <asina12> greezmunkey: any idea if ies4linux support activex plugin? because it is meant for web designers to test their sites....I think i might as well use wine, no?
[04:47] <greezmunkey> lo
[04:47] <samc> Coded1: you want to set up your /etc/asound.conf to tell it to use SPDIF as the output
[04:48] <greezmunkey> lo
[04:48] <samc> Coded1: aplay -l and aplay -L will give you a list of output devices on your card; you're looking for an iec958 device
[04:49] <iamm> okay when running lshw -C network gives me 'network UNCLAIMED' on the broadcom wifi
[04:49] <iamm> could anyone..
[04:49] <Flakeparadigm> hello
[04:50] <snadge> where can i find the kernel and initrd to do a paravirtual xen ubuntu install?
[04:50] <greezmunkey> So I enabled ufw, is there a caned reporting - or real time monitor for it? Am I looking at gufw?
[04:50] <snadge> the alternate install cd? or server cd?
[04:50] <Shamoun> hey guys
[04:51] <Shamoun> i am looking at the ubuntu download page and it says 32-bit recommended for most users. 64 bit not recommended for daily desktop use. why is that? are thre less packages for 64 bit or something?
[04:52] <blackstar> on ubuntu lucid desktop, does any body know why i can delete files and folders own by root under any standard user account whenever i use nautilus ?
[04:52] <bastid_raZor> Shamoun: can you give me the link to that page?
[04:52] <Shamoun> bastid_raZor, http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[04:52] <bastid_raZor> blackstar: if you're running nautilus with root permissions it will be abel to do anything
[04:53] <bastid_raZor> Shamoun: wow.. i use 64-bit for nearly a year now. daily. unsure why it states that.
[04:53] <ubuntu_> someone to help me to modify my script code in bash??
[04:53] <blackstar> yes but i'm not running it as root,
[04:54] <greezmunkey> blackstar: gksu nautilus &
[04:54] <blackstar> tks
[04:54] <Coded1> samc, ty, I have a listing from "aplay -L" for IEC958 as well as HDMI, but I have no /etc/asound.conf file ... should I create it ?
[04:54] <greezmunkey> blackstar: be *careful*
[04:54] <wgwinn> Shamoun:  I was curious about hte 64-bit too.. last time i used ubuntu flash was still. well; a horrid nightmare, but it's flash, so...
[04:55] <samc> Coded1: yeah it doesn't exist by default - if it's not there it just picks whatever audio device it wants
[04:55] <slops> hey all
[04:55] <Flakeparadigm> I installed Ubuntu Lucid and now my volume is extremely quiet. I have every output channel turned up to it's fullest but still not very loud. How can I fix this? Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
[04:55] <Coded1> samc, cool will give it a shot
[04:55] <samc> there's also a gui for choosing digital output within gnome, but I'm not sure if that works differently to asound.conf
[04:55] <samc> I've got two sounds cards in my PC at home, and pulseaudio and alsa have given me no end of trouble :)
[04:56] <slops> every time i reboot the computer now since loading 10.4_x64 i get a white screen and then it just sits there
[04:56] <bastid_raZor> Shamoun: in my opinion, 64bit is just as stable as 32bit.
[04:56] <slops> i have to power off the computer like 5-8 times for it to boot normally
[04:56] <Coded1> samc, im using mythbuntu which uses xfce not gnome
[04:56] <samc> slops: that sounds like it's probably hardware...
[04:57] <samc> Coded1: oh right .. yeah asound.conf should do the trick then :)
[04:57] <slops> but didnt do it with 9.10
[04:57] <hufx> Shamoun: I ve been using licud 64 bit with 64 bit flash  with no problems at all
[04:57] <Coded1> samc, will give it a go thanks again
[04:57] <samc> no probs :)
[04:58] <occy> So I just upgraded to 10.04, and I can't seem to be able to figure out how to get my Volume control on the panel :/  (it was there before I upgraded)
[04:58] <samc> Coded1: here's my config file - http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/f04Mkiz1
[04:58] <douglas> IM BACK!! :d
[04:58] <douglas> :D
[04:58] <greezmunkey> Flakeparadigm: I had that issue with a usb headset. I had no alsa, because I removed it, but I located pavucontrol in the software center, pulse audio volume control - played with that a bit and sound was great.
[04:58] <nishanth>  does any one know how to make a live stream video play that uses mms plugin?
[04:58] <douglas> i got my fan to work
[04:58] <douglas> and a new battery
[04:59] <slops> samc, its the smae hardware thats been in the box
[04:59] <slops> nothings changed
[04:59] <slops> only have this prob since loading 10.4
[05:00] <kyppcgeek> how is the new release?
[05:00] <kyppcgeek> I heard there were Grub issues
[05:00] <kyppcgeek> is that fixed?
[05:00] <Si1> im a new ubuntu user, and im using 6.06 and was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me find some files >.>
[05:00] <Flakeparadigm> greezmunkey, Alright, I'll take a look
[05:00] <greezmunkey> Flakeparadigm: It won't hurt to do that :)
[05:01] <bastid_raZor> !eol | Si1 .. follow the guide to upgrade to atleast 8.04
[05:01] <slops> samc, any ideas?
[05:01] <Coded1> samc; thanks not sure what values to use for device and card this is the output from "aplay -L" http://pastebin.com/RvTTW6Ri
[05:03] <Flakeparadigm> greezmunkey, everything is still at 100%
[05:03] <blackstar> maybe i'm explain my self wrong, i ony use root to create the files or folders, for a user with no administration or root rights, under his account, ... now whenever the standard user is trying to delete the files or  folders using the terminal he can't not do it, but if he uses nautilus it allow him to delete the files, maybe someone here can try  and they will see what i mean
[05:04] <Scunizi> Flakeparadigm: try adding "Center" slider to the mixer and push that all the way up.. I had to do that on a previous release for some reason..
[05:04] <Si1> heres the interesting thing. i was in the middle of updating my laptop, since i found an old 6.06 disc and threw it on b/c i needed an os for school. and my laptop over heated and shut down, in the middle of an upgrade. now, when i log on, it lets me log in, but wont show anything (background, bars or anything) and im on the live cd right now. And, if i can, id like to get the couple school papers off and then reinstall, and then update to the
[05:04] <v1ad> do u have a usb stick
[05:04] <blackstar> maybe i'm explain my self wrong, i ony use root to create the files or folders, for a user with no administration or root rights, under his account or home folder for the standard users , ... now whenever the standard user is trying to delete the files or  folders using the terminal he can't not do it, but if he uses nautilus it allow him to delete the files, maybe someone here can try  and they will see what i mean
[05:04] <Si1> ive got a usb
[05:04] <greezmunkey> Flakeparadigm: there was an issue, let me look at mine again, brb
[05:04] <Shamoun> bastid_raZor, everyone else, thanks for the answer, sorry i wasn't quite around
[05:04]  * kyppcgeek Anyone going to answer? Is the latest public release now stable?
[05:04] <Shamoun> okay well i guess i will just go with the 32 bit
[05:05] <bastid_raZor> Si1: mount the existing partition with your information on it. copy it somewhere
[05:05] <v1ad> the latest release is stable
[05:05] <kyppcgeek> tx v1ad
[05:05] <v1ad> np
[05:05] <bastid_raZor> Shamoun: 64bit works great for me. been running it since 9.04
[05:06] <Shamoun> bastid_raZor, yea i have used it in the past
[05:06] <hufx> Si1: by any chance do you have just a desktop no panels at all and only a small console window?
[05:06] <Shamoun> which is why i was su surprised, i thought maybe there were less applications available
[05:06] <bastid_raZor> Shamoun: why it would claim 64bit is not for daily use.. i have no idea
[05:06] <Si1> nope. its not showing anything but my mouse icon and an ugly red background
[05:06] <v1ad> yea im using x64 right now
[05:07] <Shamoun> bastid_raZor, a 64 bit linx system can still run 32 bit code right?
[05:07] <v1ad> yes
[05:07] <bastid_raZor> Shamoun: 32bit apps yes
[05:08] <v1ad> some packages won't install because there is a x64  version of it
[05:08] <blackstar> bastid_raZor, I ony use root to create the files or folders, for a user with no administration or root rights, under his account or home folder for the standard users , ... now whenever the standard user is trying to delete the files or  folders using the terminal he can't not do it, but if he uses nautilus it allow him to delete the files, maybe someone here can try  and they will see what i mean
[05:08] <v1ad> keep that in mind
[05:08] <Flakeparadigm> greezmunkey, okay. Scunizi's suggestion didn't work - it was already turned up
[05:08] <bastid_raZor> blackstar: no idea.
[05:08] <blackstar> ok
[05:09] <shreymech> does any one have a DELL 1525 with ubuntu 10.04 with wifi working
[05:09] <v1ad> ifconfig show wlan0 ?
[05:10] <v1ad> shrey if u pm most likely ill get it workin
[05:10] <greezmunkey> Flakeparadigm: what do you get if you run "alsamixer -DHw" in a terminal (minus quotes)?
[05:10] <blackstar> any know where is nautilus default configuration files is located ?
[05:11] <greezmunkey> Flakeparadigm: er alsamixer -Dhw - sorry
[05:11] <Weedy> does lucid ship a working injection driver for intel?
[05:11] <Weedy> 4965
[05:11] <albech> my .gvfs is taking up ~20GB, can I delete it and restart?
[05:12] <dan2> I haven't purchased an ATI graphics card in 7 years
[05:12] <dan2> do the drivers still suck so much that it's worth getting an nvidia card still?
[05:13] <JHAY> okay so i have an error but idk how to fix it...my ubuntu installed fine but never boots...the error is FATAL ERROR:Bad primary partition 2: Partition ends in the final partial cylinder...any ideas?
[05:15] <Loshki> is there any reason to by an ATI card for linux?
[05:15] <phinfinity> hey my system crashes sometimes sometimes mouse doesn't work or wireless quits in most cases i have to hard reset my laptop. How do i view system logs for the crash so i can find out wats going wrong
[05:15] <Flakeparadigm> greezmunkey, I get the alsamixer just like when I run alsamixer
[05:16] <iantlopp> Loshki: mine's working just fine
[05:16] <greezmunkey> Flakeparadigm: I am at a loss man, sorry.
[05:16] <iantlopp> though I've never really pushed it, but I get 60fps in compiz, pretty constantly, and that's just on a laptop
[05:16] <RoDiMuS-X> phinfinity, check dmesg from the command prompt
[05:17] <shreymech>  does any one have a DELL inspiron 1525 with ubuntu 10.04 with wifi working..plzz help me
[05:17] <Flakeparadigm> greezmunkey, it's alright. I'll keep looking
[05:17] <phinfinity> dmesg gives my current bootup log i want the previous one
[05:17] <sonia_> oi
[05:17] <greezmunkey> Flakeparadigm: what sound board are you using?
[05:17] <iantlopp> shreymech: have you tried connecting the dell machine via wired net connection yet, then let it find drivers?
[05:18] <iantlopp> mine had to do that (HP model, admittedly) before it would connect wirelessly.
[05:18] <shreymech> yess i did
[05:18] <shreymech> iantlopp, yes i did
[05:19] <iantlopp> sorry, noob at this... thought that might help
[05:19] <Flakeparadigm> I think I may have finally found something
[05:19] <sonia_> i'm lost
[05:20] <RoDiMuS-X> shreymech, is your wireless network switch turned on?
[05:21] <JHAY> okay guys...somehow the ubuntu install effed up my partitions when it installed dual boot...so im trying to remove it completely and give another go...any idea how?
[05:21] <Flannel> JHAY: Just pop in the CD and go through the installation process again
[05:21] <RoDiMuS-X> JHAY, http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic74042.html
[05:22] <JHAY> right...but it is now trying to install a second ubuntu partition along with my current ubuntu and windows 7
[05:22] <JHAY> that doesnt seem to make much sense
[05:22] <Flannel> JHAY: Oh, just nuke the other ubuntu partition and install in its place
[05:22] <JHAY> ok
[05:23] <shreymech> RoDIMua-x, yess
[05:23] <RoDiMuS-X> yeah thats the easiest thing to do
[05:23] <shreymech> RoDiMuS-X,  yess
[05:23] <JHAY> no idea how to
[05:23] <JHAY> and if i nuke the current partition , won't i have to repair windows?
[05:24] <Flakeparadigm> well no luck. I'll probably be back in an hour or so.
[05:24] <littlebones> no, it should leave the windows partition alone
[05:25] <JHAY> weird because all the forums say to insert a windows cd to be able to do this?
[05:25] <JHAY> boot to the recovery console using cd rom or whatever
[05:25] <littlebones> to have a triple boot or to overwrite the existing ubuntu os?
[05:26] <JHAY> well to use disk manager i have to get into the recovery console right? but im using netbook and have no cd drive
[05:26] <littlebones> hm, well that's a real pain. do you have one you can attach via USB or other port?
[05:26] <littlebones> i'll guess no
[05:26] <JHAY> nope
[05:27] <JHAY> exactly
[05:27] <littlebones> so yeah, i guess you would have to use the windows disk manager
[05:27] <Weedy> does lucid ship a working injection driver for intel?
[05:27] <littlebones> but the problem is, windows doesn't detect ext3 or 4 partitions
[05:27] <JHAY> the problem was basically step by step
[05:27] <JHAY> i installed dual boot
[05:27] <JHAY> everything was super easy went great
[05:27] <JHAY> but then
[05:27] <JHAY> when i tried to boot ubuntu
[05:28] <JHAY> nothing happened except cursor chilling on blank screen
[05:28] <JHAY> it was suggested my grub was messed up
[05:28] <JHAY> so i booted from usb
[05:28] <JHAY> went to terminal
[05:28] <JHAY> and tried cfdisk
[05:28] <JHAY> then got
[05:28] <FloodBot2> JHAY: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:28] <JHAY> fatal error: partition extends final cylinder bad partition 2 or whatever
[05:29] <littlebones> beauty, hmmmm
[05:30] <dijikul> ls
[05:30] <dijikul> err
[05:30] <dijikul> lol
[05:30] <chris59> Hi,  I seem to have installed both Python3 and Python3.1 Was this intentional on the part of the package manager? Or did I goof ? Should I remove 3.0 ?
[05:30] <JHAY> yeah i have no idea what to do...
[05:31] <littlebones> chris, as long as it's working i wouldn't worry
[05:31] <littlebones> and jhay, did you install using that windows ubuntu installer thing or do you have a bootable partition on the USB?
[05:31] <JHAY> i installed using usb
[05:32] <littlebones> you can access ubuntu live from it?
[05:32] <threeter> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/uU0hUr6v
[05:32] <JHAY> dont even know what that is
[05:32] <littlebones> when you create an ubuntu cd or dvd, you can use it to try ubuntu off the disk. meaning it doesn't install anything but you can still access the system
[05:32] <JHAY> oh yeah
[05:33] <littlebones> like, it would give you an option to try ubuntu without changing the system
[05:33] <threeter> trieing to compile Epona
[05:33] <JHAY> yeah i can run the image perfectly
[05:33] <JHAY> off the usb
[05:33] <threeter> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrcServer
[05:33] <littlebones> beautiful, that means you have access to gParted
[05:33] <littlebones> so you can use gparted (partition editor) to create a new ubuntu partition if you still desire to do that
[05:34] <littlebones> or just clean install overtop of the existing partition
[05:34] <JHAY> yeah
[05:34] <threeter> any help
[05:34] <JHAY> okay is that pretty straightforward or complex instructions?
[05:34] <littlebones> to re-partition or clean install overtop?
[05:34] <JHAY> clean install overtop
[05:34] <littlebones> yeah
[05:34] <littlebones> cause the partitions are already set up
[05:35] <JHAY> is gparted included in ubuntu image or do i need to grab it from somewhere
[05:35] <littlebones> you're just telling the installer to wipe out whatevers there and install overtop
[05:35] <littlebones> it should be included, if not, grab it from the synaptic
[05:35] <littlebones> it's in the default repos
[05:35] <JHAY> well, the partitions are whats messed up though right? so wouldnt i have to re-do them?
[05:35] <samc> Coded1: sorry was afk .. can you do 'aplay -l' as well?
[05:35] <littlebones> yeah you can do that
[05:35] <littlebones> gparted will do a nice job of partitioning
[05:35] <toolbear> hello.  in synaptic package manager, every time i click to do something on a package (un/install, etc...), i have to wait about 20 seconds before the program will begin responding to stimuli again.  has anybody else had this problem?
[05:36] <JHAY> okay so i can go into ubuntu use gparted to partition, and still be able to boot windows without the recovery disk later?
[05:36] <littlebones> you should
[05:36] <littlebones> as long as it's in a seperate partition
[05:36] <JHAY> k...i'll try and let you know in a few mins
[05:36] <JHAY> thnx
[05:36] <littlebones> because GRUB (the screen that lets you choose what OS you want) will override all other bootloaders, and it will automatically detect windows
[05:36] <greezmunkey> toolbear: It's probably checking to make sure it's up to date. you could run wireshark to be sure.
[05:36] <JHAY> okay cool
[05:37] <toolbear> greezmunkey: what's wireshark?
[05:37] <littlebones> if you need help with the partitioning, grab xchat from the repos and i can give you more help if you need it
[05:37] <Moral_> I'm running a CLI only version of ubuntu. I'm in the terminal and I can't scroll up to read some of the errors i'm getting. How can I make it so I can scroll up to read that, note pgup and pgdown don't do anything.
[05:37] <greezmunkey> toolbear: packet sniffer
[05:38] <jenpontan> it's crazy
[05:38] <phlak_user> Moral_: shift+pg up
[05:38] <phlak_user> Moral_: better way is to pipe to less
[05:39] <toolbear> greezmunkey: ah, ok, thanks, i'll look into it
[05:39] <Moral_> phlak_user, thanks. Also yeah.  I'm just reading /var/log/messages. Thanks again!
[05:39] <econdudeawesome> howdy! How does one use wildcard charaters in the commandline?
[05:39] <econdudeawesome> specifically, if I want to range wildcard characters from 0000 to 9999
[05:39] <phlak_user> econdudeawesome: like this --> ls -la foo*
[05:40] <phlak_user> !regexp
[05:40] <econdudeawesome> phlak_user does that work with wget?
[05:40] <econdudeawesome> !regexp
[05:40] <Tac_Home> am I allowed to ask what a good rpg would be?  maybe even one with an online community :)
[05:41] <Tac_Home> or strategy..
[05:41] <phlak_user> econdudeawesome: you will have to look at the wget man page
[05:41] <edbian> Tac_Home, It's really a more #ubuntu-offtopic thing to ask...
[05:41] <econdudeawesome> phlak_user thanks.
[05:42] <christmas11> how do I remove something from a blacklist?
[05:42] <Tac_Home> edbian, gracias
[05:42] <CkhiKuzad> i'm running 9.04, and every time i shut down, rather than shutting off completely, ubuntu turns every hardware thing off, fans, drives, etc, but leaves the computer on with the error [52.(something)] System Halted
[05:45] <mattgyver> CkhiKuzad, can you post the full error message?
[05:46] <CkhiKuzad> mattgyver: its just some cryptic numbers and the words system halted.
[05:46] <mattgyver> CkhiKuzad, do those numbers appear random or is it the same each time?
[05:46] <CkhiKuzad> they appear to be the same
[05:50] <mattgyver> CkhiKuzad, silly questiong but does shutting down from command line (sudo shutdown -h now) and from gnome do the same thing?
[05:51] <Traveler8> just a test
[05:51] <uLinux> hm
[05:51] <CkhiKuzad> yes it does, mattgyver
[05:52] <Christos``> anyone out there taht can help me with an issue?
[05:52] <bazhang> Christos``, ask a question please
[05:53] <mattgyver> CkhiKuzad, not really too sure, maybe check and see if theres a bios update available for your board?
[05:53] <CkhiKuzad> my board is from 2000. and the creators NEVER offered a single update. i cant usb boot.
[05:53] <Avasz> how do i know if mysql, php and httpd are installed or not?
[05:53] <Traveler8> what's the problem?
[05:54] <brianlions> hi guys, i issued command "ssh-keygen -l -f know_hosts", but it seems that all hosts' ip addr are encrypted, is it possible to found out those ip addr? if not, how to disable the encryption of host ip in file `known_hosts`?
[05:54] <Traveler8> which mysql?
[05:54] <mattgyver> CkhiKuzad, that sucks, im not too sure, i looked a bit but unfortunately dont see anything like that but at the same time i dont know the full error message
[05:55] <Christos``> My question is dual booting i installed ubuntu on a seperate harddrive but i had to disconnect my main harddrive to do so but now i bought the cable where i can put two harddrives and i made ubuntu the slave drive but problem is i need it where my main drive dont go right away into the os i want it to give me the option to chose which hd i want
[05:55] <DeathKnight> how do i know if mysql, php and httpd are installed or not?
[05:55] <tm0> Hi all. I need a little bit of help.
[05:56] <brianlions> Avasz, DeathKnight : i think the easiest way is use command "which mysql php httpd apache2"
[05:56] <tm0> I need to update my webkit version, but i don't know how
[05:56] <Traveler8> could anyone tell me how to copy the name? - -
[05:56] <Christos``> anyone got my question?
[05:56] <Christos``> lol
[05:57] <christmas11> does anyone know if installing either mythTV or XBMC affects WIFI?
[05:58] <mattgyver> Christos``, sounds like you just need to configure your grub menu really, are you running 10.04?
[05:58] <Christos``> yeah
[05:58] <christmas11> Yea
[05:58] <shreymech>  does any one have a DELL inspiron 1525 with ubuntu 10.04 with wifi working..plzz help me
[05:58] <Christos``> oh how do i configure my grub menu
[05:59] <mattgyver> Christos``, first of all is there an OS on the other drive, and if so what is it?
[05:59] <Christos``> windows 7
[05:59] <Christos``> thats my main harddrive
[05:59] <Christos``> i mean master
[05:59] <nerex> Hi Everyone. Just have a simple question:  I've googled around for this but cant find anything conclusive. How do I mount ext3 and ext4 partitions in windows 7? I'd had to format my ubuntu partitions to NTFS just to see them in windows. I know there's easy drivers for ext2, but I'd like to keep ext3/4.
[05:59] <Christos``> and ubuntu is my secondary until I learn how to use linux
[06:00] <edbian> nerex, If you formatted your ubuntu partition as ntfs you erased it...
[06:00] <Traveler8> maybe grub4dos do it
[06:00] <mattgyver> Christos``, ill pm you
[06:00] <Christos``> ok
[06:01] <nerex> I didn't. I have it as ext3
[06:01] <nerex> and I have an extended partition that's ext4
[06:01] <Traveler8> just edit the menu.lst..
[06:01] <SirMoo> I haz quick question. - Whats the benefit to running 64 bit over 32 as a server?
[06:01] <edbian> nerex, ok.  It's just that in your previous post you said "I'd had to format my ubuntu partitions to NTFS just to see them in windows
[06:01] <bazhang> no menu.list in grub2
[06:01] <bazhang> !grub2 | Christos``
[06:01] <nerex> ooh, sorry. I meant I'd hate to have to
[06:02] <Traveler8> in grub4dos
[06:02] <Traveler8> it has
[06:02] <tm0> I need to update my webkit version, but i don't know how\
[06:02] <bazhang> Traveler8, we dont recommend that here
[06:02] <tm0> I need to update my webkit version, but i don't know how, any ideas?
[06:02] <edbian> nerex, I think the current solution is to use ext2 drivers that are out there to view / edit ext3 and 4.  Obviously you shouldn't be doing extensive work this way.
[06:03] <Traveler8> oh, i ee
[06:03] <edbian> nerex, There is no ext4 driver.  http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
[06:03] <nerex> All i really would need is to view / play back media files. That'd be it. No need to write.
[06:03] <nerex> Thanks for the link.
[06:03] <edbian> nerex, No problem
[06:04] <edbian> nerex, Reading is relatively safe compared to writing.
[06:04] <edbian> nerex, Read what it says!  Careful not to delete things you shouldn't!
[06:04] <nerex> Thanks a ton, edbian. I'll look into it. I think I should be able to take it from here~
[06:05] <tm0> Let me rephrase, i am trying to get java working in midori, and i don't know how to update it
[06:05] <edbian> nerex, No problem!
[06:05] <edbian> I love to help people and I love linux.
[06:06] <SirMoo> So I'll ask again since no one replied.... :/
[06:06] <tm0> Can anyone help me? The forums were useless?
[06:07] <SirMoo> Any difference between servers that are 32 or 64bit version?
[06:08] <xangua> tm0: what version of ubuntu are you using'¿
[06:08] <tm0> SirMoo, i think 64 can take more ram
[06:08] <tm0> xangua Ubuntu 9.10
[06:08] <rsouthard> tm() there is no support in midori for java plugin yet.
[06:08] <SirMoo> It ram really the only thing thats a benifit?
[06:08] <xangua> tm0: are you using the midori PPA¿
[06:08] <DjDark> cant get yahoo to connect through pidgin. it did earlier today but now...nothin :(
[06:08] <lonelinsky> 2^64 vs 2^32
[06:08] <tm0> What is PPA xangua?
[06:09] <xangua> !ppa
[06:09] <tm0> Sirmoo, i've never used one so don't take my word explictly. I just know that from desktop.
[06:09] <tm0> Xangua thank you i will try that
[06:09] <xangua> tm0: https://launchpad.net/~midori/+archive/ppa and it recomends also https://launchpad.net/~webkit-team/+archive/ppa
[06:10] <Mahjongg> hey, what was the name of the enduser oriented GNU/Linux distro that Bruce Perens was starting before ubuntu came up
[06:10] <SirMoo> There is not a dedicated server  channel for ubuntu is there ?>_>
[06:10] <bazhang> SirMoo, #ubuntu-server
[06:10] <SirMoo> Thanks. =D
[06:11] <xangua> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:midori/ && add-apt-repository ppa ppa:webkit-team/ppa | tm0, that would be enough and after taht you open the update manager and you will see the updates aviable
 Hi Everyone. Just have a simple question:  I've googled around for t
[06:12] <Doyle> Good evening fellas. Q: For programs that refuse to start due to permissions issues (ie. conf files are under var instead of home), is there any serious problems with using chown to resolve the issue? 'sudo chown foo /var/lib/res_bar' for example.
[06:14] <RoDiMuS-X> anyone know of a program that will stream shoutcast?
[06:14] <rsouthard> RoDiMuS-X try streamtuner
[06:14] <tm0> xangua i get this ever Error: need a repository as argument
[06:15] <rsouthard> you can record with it also. i think the package name to rip is streamripper or streamjuice.
[06:15] <RoDiMuS-X> Cool thanks rsouthard
[06:15] <rsouthard> yw.
[06:17] <tm0> xangua i get this ever Error: need a repository as argument
[06:18] <xangua> tm0: sorry, the first is ppa:midori/ppa , not ppa:midori/ :S
[06:19] <rocket16> Like Gnote replaces Tomboy and is faster (because #mono is not included, and it is a complete C++ rewrite), is there any similar replacement to FSpot? (Almost similar, but faster and in C++)
[06:19] <mattgyver> Doyle, kinda 50/50 in my book, sometimes its okay to do that, some time its just worth while to make sure the user is part of the right group (excluding root)
[06:19] <Error404NotFound> how can i apply same permissions set e.g. user, group and permissions of one directory to another? both directory are identical.
[06:19] <cardamon> Has Gnote replaced Tomboy?  Because I think someone forgot to tell Tomboy.
[06:20] <tm0> xangua i get the same error
[06:20] <xangua> rocket16: shotwall says omg!ubuntu! blog :)
[06:20] <rocket16> Error404NotFound: Select both of them using Ctrl+Click, and right click them to select properties, and specify the permissions,
[06:20] <ubuntu_> someone to know good enough bash scripting to help me??
[06:20] <mattgyver> ubuntu_, what are you trying to accomplish?
[06:20] <Error404NotFound> rocket16, hmmm, and if i have to do same using commandline?
[06:20] <xangua> tm0: whad do you get with: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:midori/ppa  ¿¿
[06:21] <rocket16> xangua: Lol, Thanks, :) I tried already, but it is not so fast, :(
[06:21] <cardamon> Error404NotFound: chmod
[06:21] <Error404NotFound> rocket16, btw, permissions inside directory A are not alike, at places they are 755, 644 and etc...
[06:21] <rsouthard> Error404NotFound look into chmod and umask.
[06:21] <Doyle> mattgyver: Thanks mattgyver. For resources that are unrelated to system or which may contain sensitive info it should be OK.
[06:21] <Error404NotFound> cardamon, i know, but thats not what i am looking for, though thats the basis, chown as well ofocurse...
[06:21] <rocket16> Error404NotFound: Use chmod +x foldername to make all files inside them executable, and other chmod variants using chmod +option foldername
[06:21] <xangua> rocket16: well it uses less memory says the post
[06:22] <rocket16> xangua: Yes, thanks, :) I will try it once again,
[06:22] <Error404NotFound> rocket16, naaa, i know these commands, just looking an easy way like using a for loop to check and apply same permissions on files...
[06:22] <xuwuhuai> hello
[06:22] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: Hello, :)
[06:22] <tm0> xangua http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/440699/

[06:22] <xuwuhuai> help
[06:22] <mattgyver> Doyle, yeah.  If it were me I would make the change and a note of it.  then i would look into seeing if there is an alternative, sometimes you find better solutions.
[06:22] <cardamon> For copying permissions...dunno.  But it's pretty easy to look at a directory, know what permissions it has (because it tells you) and chmod another directory with the same.
[06:23] <crocket> How did ubuntu people find out udev assigns ethernet adapter names?
[06:23] <crocket> It is really a geek thing
[06:23] <xuwuhuai> some one can speak chinese ?
[06:23] <Doyle> mattgyver: good point. thanks
[06:23] <bazhang> xuwuhuai, in #ubuntu-cn
[06:23] <rocket16> !cn | xuwuhuai
[06:23] <crocket> I didn't even know udev until I googled "linux change name adapter"
[06:24] <meatbun> where is the md5usm for ubuntu 10?
[06:24] <crocket> meatbun, It's built into live CD.
[06:24] <xuwuhuai> i need help
[06:24] <xangua> tm0: that only mean the gpg server is down, you can add the key some other day
[06:24] <rocket16> Error404NotFound: I think this might be of some help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=162474
[06:24] <xuwuhuai> who can help me ?
[06:24] <crocket> meatbun, you can boot liveCD and do the checksum there.
[06:24] <Doyle> xuwuhuai:  type /join #ubuntu-cn
[06:24] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: Sure, what is the problem? We all will look at it, and will try to help (not sure if I can, still I will try)
[06:24] <tm0> xangua So it won't work today? (Sorry i'm a bit slow, just came out of surgery)
[06:25] <xuwuhuai> but i don't know how to do.
[06:25] <xangua> tm0: sudp add-apt-repository ppa:webkit-team/ppa | and you will have everything needed to update midori and webkit
[06:25] <Doyle> xuwuhuai: you just typed "but i don't know how to do." type "/join #ubuntu-cn"
[06:25] <zus> can anyone please help with video downloader helper? now that ive installed it  it wont let me open files on default  like ktorrent for instance i have to download it first then click the torrent file before  right from tpb it went stright to ktorrent
[06:25] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: Use this command: /join #ubuntu-cn (and press enter) to join Chinese Channel. Otherwise, you can specify your problem here, :)
[06:26] <tm0> Xangua same error. I will try this a different day. My head seems to be too far out to understand completely lool
[06:26] <xuwuhuai> 3q rocket16
[06:26] <xangua> tm0: yes, it will work; you will only get a message that there is no GPG key. you use the GPG key to say the system that it is a safe repository
[06:26] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: You're welcome, :)
[06:26] <xangua> zus: is that a firefox addon¿
[06:26] <tm0> xangua how do i do that?
[06:26] <zus> xangua,  yes
[06:27] <mattgyver> Error404NotFound, you could probably do a ls -l of the file in question, and grep the permissions and script it to chmod the file

[06:27] <xuwuhuai> i have join ubnutu-cn now !

[06:27] <xangua> zus: use 'flashgot' if you want to integrate firefox with any download manager
[06:27] <Error404NotFound> mattgyver, thats what i am doing, wanted to know if there was someone who did it already
[06:28] <IdleOne> xuwuhuai: /join #ubuntu-cn
[06:28] <xuwuhuai> but no one  in there .
[06:28] <mattgyver> Error404NotFound, oh okay, no but i might actually, sounds like a good idea lol
[06:28] <xangua> tm0: mmm it should work, what about: sudo apt-get update  ¿¿
[06:28] <zus> xangua,  wouldnt that just dl everything on a page?
[06:29] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: But I can see that 77 people are there, I just joined (Although I am Indian). Did you type the code correctly? Simply enter: /join #ubuntu-cn
[06:29] <IdleOne> xuwuhuai: you typed it wrong
[06:29] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: Also, the character # is needed. Type: /join #ubuntu-cn
[06:30] <tm0> xangua it throws errors with the webkit team ppa
[06:30] <xuwuhuai> i well try again
[06:30] <xuwuhuai> thank you very much
[06:31] <sain> hello
[06:31] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: I sent you an invitation from that channel. Please accept that, and you'll enter into the channel.
[06:32] <xuwuhuai> ok
[06:32] <ruien> Hello all :) I have one hard drive, sda, with sda1 and then sda2 holding logical partitions {sda5, sda6, sda7, and sda8}. My xubuntu installation is on sda1 as it is my main OS. I have a ghost image from a previous solely-windows-xp install that I have imaged onto sda7. Grub2 finds the install, but it does not boot. Does this method have any hope?
[06:32] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: Or, which client are you using? Xchat?
[06:32] <rocket16> Hello sain, :)
[06:33] <sain> Can any one help. how do you add "open folder in terminal" option to right click menu?
[06:33] <crdlb> sain: install the nautilus-open-terminal package
[06:33] <xuwuhuai> it's ok !
[06:33] <sain> crdlb: thanks
[06:33] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: Great, :) Ok,
[06:34] <xuwuhuai> rocket16: thank you !
[06:34] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: You are most welcome, :)
[06:34] <xuwuhuai> :)
[06:34] <costre> !grub | ruien
[06:34] <rocket16> sain: For that, enter this command in terminal: sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
[06:34] <xuwuhuai> by the way ,can you read chinese ?
[06:34] <White-Horse> Hi guys does anyone know if there are any bugs in ubuntu 10.04 x32 for some reason my icons on the top left never stay and i am always having to readd them also everytime i min. firefox it goes away but stays open if anyone has any ideas ?
[06:36] <rocket16> White-Horse: That is possibly a Panel problem. Reset the panels to fix that up, :)
[06:36] <rocket16> !reset-panels | White-Horse
[06:36] <rocket16> !resetpanels | White-Horse
[06:36] <christmas11> can anyone tell me why my wifi would suddenly refuse to connect?
[06:37] <White-Horse> thank you rocket16 i will try that
[06:37] <White-Horse> but what about min. firefox to tray issue ?
[06:37] <White-Horse> everytime i min. firefox to the tray it goes away but stays open
[06:37] <rocket16> christmas11: Is your Wireless Connection allowed? Check by right clicking the nm-applet, and see if Enable Wireless is checked or not.
[06:38] <Loshki> ruien: my recollection is that XP is fussy about being moved to a different partition, but I don't recall the details. You could try asking on #windows...
[06:38] <sain> rocket16: i installed nautilus -open-terminal. what do i do next?
[06:38] <rocket16> White-Horse: I think, Firefox is not being closed properly. You can kill the process to end it,
[06:38] <christmas11> Rocket16: yes, its enabled, I was working 2 hours ago and now nothing
[06:39] <christmas11> *it
[06:39] <xuwuhuai> i am come back ,because , the  ubnutu-cn people no very hot .
[06:39] <rocket16> sain: Just right-click anywhere inside a folder, now select "Open Terminal Here"
[06:39] <ruien> Loshki: thanks. That's what it seems like, and wasn't sure if grub had any way around that. The grub docs don't seem to address this situation.
[06:40] <White-Horse> ok thank you rocket16
[06:40] <tm0> xangua don't worry i'll figure it out later
[06:40] <rocket16> White-Horse: My pleasure, my friend, :)
[06:40] <Doyle> christmas11: Many possible reasons. Wireless router lost power or needs a power cycle. Maybe the router admin (if its not you) changed the password. If its a laptop the wireless switch may have been toggled by mistake. If you plugged in a LAN cable it may have switched to LAN automatically depending on configurations.
[06:40] <sain> rocket16: "open in terminal" is not among the right click menu options
[06:40] <ruien> xuwuhai: what is your question? you didn't ask a question in ubuntu-cn.
[06:40] <rocket16> xuwuhuai: No problem. You can ask any problem here, :)
[06:41] <Doyle> christmas11: if you've recently installed any appliances they may interfear with the signal. Is there a deep freeze between you and the wireless router?
[06:41] <christmas11> Doyle: I'm using the same router for this connection
[06:41] <sain> is there a way to edit the right click menu to add it?
[06:41] <rocket16> sain: Well, go to the Desktop once, and in any blank area, right-click, now is there anything in the menu like "Open in Terminal"?
[06:41] <christmas11> I have been configuring Mythtv on the other computer
[06:41] <mattgyver> sain, you can make nautilus scripts
[06:41] <rocket16> sain: Sure, you can use Nautilus-Scripts. An easier way is to use Ubuntu-Tweaks tool, which can do it via GUI.
[06:42] <Doyle> christmas11: From the wireless panel, do you see the network as being available with good reception?
[06:42] <Loshki> ruien: well, assuming grub chainloads to the windows partition correctly, it's basically a windows issue from that point onwards. Do you know if it even gets that far?
[06:42] <christmas11> Doyle: Its a hidden network
[06:42] <rocket16> sain: Does the menu-entry come now?
[06:42] <ruien> Loshki: yes, it gets that far. It gets into some pre-windows Dos routine and hangs forever.
[06:43] <ruien> if there wasn't a known solution, i'll just put the image back on its original partition, and then reinstall ubuntu on top of it, as in that case the dual-boot *will* work
[06:43] <Loshki> ruien: sounds like the grub portion worked then. You need windows booting help at this point I think...
[06:44] <christmas11> Is mythtv know to cause problems with connections?
[06:44] <sain> rocket16: i'm still trying to figure out how to find it in Ubuntu tweaks
[06:44] <mattgyver> ruien, is this an OEM image, i don think it will work on a different motherboard
[06:44] <Doyle> christmas11: Do you see other networks? Have you power cycled that computer?
[06:44] <christmas11> Yes, I see other networks. No, I'll try the power cycle now
[06:45] <Loshki> ruien: another less drastic thing you could try is to save the ubuntu mbr, then try doing a fixmbr from a windows recovery. If that works, you can reinstall the ubuntu mbr and try again, if that makes sense...
[06:45] <ruien> mattgyver: no, this was a fresh install on this system, just on another partition.
[06:45] <mattgyver> ruien, cool just a thought :)
[06:45] <ruien> Loshki: that's a really cool idea, i'll try it
[06:45] <ruien> yeah, thanks guys
[06:46] <Doyle> christmas11: ok. At first glance the system seems fine hardware wise, the power cycle may work.
[06:46] <tdhz77> Dual booting OSX and Ubuntu, trying to read write to both partitions, but I'm only able to read and write to the Public folder on the OSX partition. Any help on editing my fstab, or permissions would be greatly appreciated.
[06:47] <ruien> tdhz77: if you type "mount", what is the OSX partition mounted as, and what are the associated mount options?
[06:47] <tdhz77> ruien: /dev/sda3 hfsplus
[06:47] <rocket16> sain: under personal group, there us an entry "manage scripts". Enter there to edit nautilus scripts.
[06:48] <brianlions> xuwuhuai, how do you whether ubuntu-cn people are hot or not? hot has nothing to do with your questions :-)
[06:48] <EzeQL> hi all
[06:48] <EzeQL> how do i uninstall a program?
[06:48] <ruien> tdhz77: rw right?
[06:48] <Doyle> tdhz77: I think after you type '/etc/fstab' you just have to enter the details. Found a good ref. http://www.tuxation.com/creating-home-partition-mac-linux.html
[06:48] <tdhz77> doyle: hi doyle :)
[06:48] <rocket16> EzeQL: use sudo apt-get remove packagename
[06:48] <Doyle> yo man
[06:48] <Loshki> brianlions: support first, comedy second, if you don't mind...
[06:49] <tdhz77> ruien: when I put rw, I get a mounting error on startup
[06:49] <ruien> okay, so that's the problem. Hmm. What are you using to mount? mount -t <?> ?
[06:49] <Loshki> tdhz77: can you tell us the exact text of the error message?
[06:50] <rocket16> EzeQL: or, simply use Software Centre, or synaptic
[06:50] <EzeQL> rocket16 , there is no gui here :)
[06:50] <christmas11> Doyle: doesn't look like the power cycle worked
[06:50] <EzeQL> i am connected throught consolo
[06:50] <EzeQL> a *console
[06:51] <EzeQL> how can i get info about a certain package wuth apt-get
[06:51] <JHAY> hello
[06:51] <littlebones> jhay, get 'er all fixed up?
[06:51] <Flannel> EzeQL: apt-cache show packagename
[06:51] <JHAY> sort of
[06:51] <JHAY> i got it installed
[06:51] <EzeQL> thanks
[06:51] <JHAY> dual boot
[06:51] <tdhz77> ruien: im just clicking places >> OSX and it mounts ok, but when I edit FSTAB to make it RW, i  reboot and then it says, "mount error Press S to skip or M to manually edit" I can't edit the fstab by pressing M, so I must skip.
[06:51] <JHAY> and it boots fine
[06:51] <Flannel> EzeQL: What sort of info, by the way?
[06:51] <FloodBot2> JHAY: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:51] <JHAY> but
[06:51] <Doyle> christmas11: crimminy. jus a second
[06:51] <littlebones> not a problem
[06:51] <littlebones> go on..
[06:51] <Loshki> JHAY: stop hitting enter, or the Floobot will get you...
[06:52] <sain> rocket16: i got to Manage scripts, but there is no option to open folder in terminal
[06:52] <JHAY> i plugged in my ethernet cord...then the network status animation started...then it stopped (while i was still plugged in) and said no connection
[06:52] <ruien> tdhz77: this will be easier to debug if you do the mounting manually, I think, by su'ing to root and trying to mount the partition with the 'mount' command; this will generate better error output
[06:52] <littlebones> did you take it out and stick it back in? worst to worst set up the connection manually, or install wicd as your network manager
[06:52] <crdlb> sain: you need to restart nautilus to make nautilus-open-terminal work
[06:52] <littlebones> on 9.04 i used wicd and it was awesome
[06:53] <JHAY> and i am once again clueless...i think ubuntu is gonna make it as hard as possible for me...nothing will work plug and play
[06:53] <rocket16> sain: Yes, it is difficult to set such one. Is the Nautilus-open-terminal script installed?
[06:53] <EzeQL> Flannel , i have a very old ffmpeg bin
[06:53] <EzeQL> i want to update it
[06:53] <raevol> hey all trying to do some cusomization of xscreensaver, can anyone tell me where i can see the fonts available on my machine? the directory?
[06:53] <rocket16> sain: I believe, the Package is not installed properly, :(
[06:53] <EzeQL> which is the easier way?
[06:53] <JHAY> wicd is that an included tool?
[06:53] <rocket16> EzeQL: Use sudo apt-get update
[06:53] <Flannel> EzeQL: It was a bin file? or it's installed via package management?
[06:53] <littlebones> it's in the repos, it removes network manager but does all the same thing
[06:53] <tdhz77> ruien: ok, /dev/sda3 / hfsplus defaults 0 1, I believe, I screwed up by putting / and not /home :) let me reboot and try again. Thanks for tipping me in the right direction.
[06:53] <rocket16> EzeQL: I mean, sudo apt-get update packagename
[06:53] <EzeQL> via package manament
[06:54] <sain> rocket16. i'll try to restart machine and reinstall nautilus
[06:54] <tdhz77> doyle: thanks man
[06:54] <Flannel> EzeQL: What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[06:54] <ruien> sure, good luck
[06:54] <littlebones> my laptop wouldn't connect to the school wireless network on 9.04 with network manager, switched to wicd and it was all good
[06:54] <rocket16> sain: Sure,
[06:54] <Doyle> christmas11: from the terminal type 'lshw -C network' do you see the wirless card? Does it show broadcasting: yes as well as a driver and IP near the bottom?
[06:54] <crdlb> sain: just killall nautilus
[06:54] <crdlb> sain: or log out
[06:54] <JHAY> yeah well i know my wireless wont work because it needs proprietary drivers
[06:54] <Doyle> tdhz77: did that work?
[06:54] <JHAY> but
[06:54] <EzeQL> flannel, how do i check that ? :)
[06:54] <JHAY> cant install without internet lol
[06:54] <EzeQL> feelking kinda noob
[06:54] <Flannel> EzeQL: `lsb_release -a` will tell you
[06:55] <rocket16> sain: Just go to a terminal, and type: killall -user username (username is your username there) and it will serve as same like Restart
[06:55] <Loshki> EzeQL: it's ok to be noob here...
[06:55] <EzeQL> 9.10
[06:55] <littlebones> set up the connection manually then
[06:55] <mayank> hey guys, can anyone help me?, its been 4 days i installed ubuntu 9.10 but tried some things butt still no sound...
[06:55] <rocket16> EzeQL: Or, go to System-About Ubuntu to see the VersioN.
[06:55] <EzeQL> :)
[06:55] <EzeQL> rocket16 , there is no gui installed
[06:56] <JHAY> tried...when i plug in its like it sees something, but then goes blank
[06:56] <EzeQL> Flannel 9.10
[06:56] <JHAY> like i cant even get to my router
[06:56] <sain> rocket16: thanks. it works like a champ.
[06:56] <littlebones> wow, haven't heard of that before
[06:56] <JHAY> so ill try wicd...is that in the synaptics whatever
[06:56] <christmas11> Doyle: it returns 3 *-network, one ethernet controller, one network controller (product wireless LAN controller) and one wireless interface
[06:56] <littlebones> sure is
[06:56] <EzeQL> rocket16 apt-get update ffmpeg doesnt work
[06:56] <rocket16> mayank: Well, better to install 10.04 LTS. Also, click the Sound Preferences, :) and see if everything is set or not
[06:56] <JHAY> aight
[06:56] <Flannel> EzeQL: Alright.  What version is currently installed?  You can find out via `apt-cache policy ffmpeg`
[06:56] <rocket16> sain: You are welcome, friend, :)
[06:57] <JHAY> hopefully ill be chatting with you in a few in ubuntu
[06:57] <littlebones> hopefully
[06:57] <Loshki> mayank: sound is a notorious problem area in many linuxes. I had good luck with this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/fix-for-all-pulseaudio-related-issues.html. You can skip over the alsa gui stuff if it doesn't apply to your release...
[06:57] <rocket16> EzeQL: Well, you can update your whole System too, that will increase performance, :) Although offtopic.
[06:57] <EzeQL> Installed: 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2.1   Candidate: 4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2.2
[06:57] <Doyle> christmas11: We're interested in the wireless interface
[06:57] <JHAY> i really want to start playing with this...trying hard not to get frustrated...got the flu and pneumonia on tuesday and have been bed ridden looking for a project (this was supposed to be an easy one)
[06:58] <EzeQL> rocket16 , sysadmin should do that
[06:58] <Flannel> EzeQL: Then you're all up-to-date, what made you think it was old and outdated?
[06:58] <mayank> rocket16: what are u saying man, i don;t want to install ubuntu again, i will upgrade it later, and all set to auto detect, and i have also change it but no luck,
[06:58] <EzeQL> well svn20090706 does not look uptodate
[06:58] <EzeQL> maybe the bin located on apt-get is very old?
[06:58] <christmas11> Doyle: it is broadcasting, doesn't say anything about IP or drive
[06:59] <christmas11> r
[06:59] <Loshki> EzeQL: Flannel: isn't there a medibuntu version of ffmpeg, and wouldn't it be better?
[07:00] <Doyle> christmas11: if it doesn't indicate a driver, it may have wandered off somewhere...
[07:00] <Flannel> EzeQL: That package was actually updated a little over a month ago, so it's up to date
[07:00] <Doyle> christmas11: though, it sees networks so that shouldn't be the problem.
[07:01] <EzeQL> thanks Flannel
[07:01] <Doyle> christmas11: have you tried retyping the connection information?
[07:01] <Loshki> Doyle: you live in a much more interesting universe than me, where drivers wander off, and deep freezes interfere with wireless..
[07:01] <Doyle> Loshki: I did dell support once upon a time... these things do happen to the average user
[07:01] <christmas11> Doyle: under Network controller (wireless LAN controller) it does have a driver (driver=b43-pcibridge latency=32) but not under *-network wireless interface
[07:02] <Doyle> christmas11: AH, ok, I read your first report of controllers too quickly and only saw one wireless one.
[07:04] <Doyle> christmas11: not sure if this one'll work, but you can try running 'sudo dhclient' from the terminal. I've never used it under ubuntu.
[07:04] <DjDark> cant get pidgin to connect to yahoo..need help
[07:04] <Doyle> christmas11: it forces the adapters to query for an address server and lease.
[07:04] <arunkumar413> cant connect to internet using mobile broadbad
[07:05] <phildarnowsky> Hi all, I have a question I've been unable to Google: let's say I had an executable at /usr/local/bin/foo, but recently installed the foo package so there's now an executable at /usr/bin/foo.  I rm'ed /usr/local/bin/foo, but if I just type "foo" (not the absolute path), bash seems to still think I mean /usr/local/bin/foo, and tells me "not found." How do I get it to forget about /usr/local/bin/foo?
[07:05] <DjDark> anyone got yim server list?
[07:05] <Loshki> DjDark: I'm not a pidgin user myself, but have you read the faq at http://d.pidgin.im/wiki/FAQ ?
[07:05] <Mac> Connect Windows Network Printer on Ubuntu
[07:05] <mikolynx> hey guys..what's the smallest zip program....
[07:05] <mikolynx> I need to make a 2 gig file smallllll.
[07:06] <Mac> Connect Windows Network Printer on Ubuntu
[07:06] <Loshki> phildarnowsky: what happens when you type 'which foo' ?
[07:06] <Doyle> christmas11: Ideally it should return a bunch of information stating the various objects as listening, or some other information. If you get unknown hardware for any of em there'll be a problem.
[07:06] <phildarnowsky> loshki: I get "/usr/local/bin/foo"
[07:06] <phildarnowsky> loshki: i.e. the old, incorrect answer
[07:06] <ruien> mikolynx: what type of file? 2gb's of /dev/zero's by any chance?
[07:07] <Loshki> phildarnowsky: what about if you restart bash i.e. open a new terminal. Same result?
[07:07] <phildarnowsky> loshki: yep.  also if I log out, also if I reboot
[07:07] <arunkumar413> cant connect to internet using mobile broadbad option in network manager
[07:07] <phildarnowsky> loshki: I feel like a Windows user. :(
[07:07] <mikolynx> it's a windows 7 install...I dl'd for a friend...I have to load it onto a usb drive..
[07:07] <DjDark> yessir loshki. and the thing worked fine earlier. up until about an hour ago
[07:07] <mikolynx> I need to find a zip prog that will make it small.
[07:07] <Mac> configure ZTE USB modem on ubuntu
[07:07] <Loshki> phildarnowsky: :-). And what does ls -l /usr/local/bin/foo say?
[07:08] <christmas11> Doyle: nothing saying unknown hardware, sorry
[07:08] <DjDark> yahoo wont even connect through wine
[07:09] <christmas11> Doyle: it goes through about 15 instances of DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0/eth0 etc, then says no DHCPOFFERS received
[07:09] <arunkumar413> Hi Doyle
[07:09] <mikolynx> cna I get 7zip for ubuntu?
[07:09] <Doyle> christmas11: ok, the hardware's working fine then
[07:09] <Loshki> DjDark: well, like I say, I'm not a user. Try #pidgin maybe?
[07:09] <christmas11> Doyle: excellent
[07:09] <phildarnowsky> loshki: well, well, well.  it was there, but I could've sworn I rm'ed it.
[07:09] <Doyle> christmas11: gotta be something, a configuration, or a gremlin
[07:10] <Doyle> arunkumar413: hi there
[07:10] <JHAY> back
[07:10] <christmas11> Doyle: Gremlin?
[07:10] <Loshki> phildarnowsky: at least you had the guts to admit it, instead of just dropping off :-)
[07:10] <phildarnowsky> loshki: maybe I should give up on the computing for the night and get some sleep. :)
[07:10] <JHAY> i loaded synaptics package manager but could not find wicd
[07:10] <arunkumar413> Doyle: help me to tweak my network manager
[07:10] <phildarnowsky> loshki: I've been doing this for long enough that I have nothing left to prove. :)
[07:10] <phildarnowsky> loshki: thanks!
[07:10] <littlebones> really? i was certain it's in the repos
[07:10] <Loshki> phildarnowsky: glad to help...
[07:11] <JHAY> idk even know what in the repos means lol
[07:11] <littlebones> rfe
[07:11] <Doyle> christmas11: just to confirm you've already tripple checked your ssid, pass and auth types?
[07:11] <Loshki> !manual | JHAY maybe you should read this first then
[07:11] <littlebones> *repositories are what the synaptic looks in
[07:11] <Doyle> arunkumar413: what kind of tweak?
[07:11] <JHAY> thanks ubotto but to surf the web i have to have internet
[07:11] <christmas11> Doyle: 5, 6 and 7 times. It was working about 3 hours ago and now nothing
[07:11] <mikolynx> is p7zip a command line thing?
[07:12] <JHAY> and when i plug my ehternet cord in nothing happens
[07:12] <mikolynx> I don't see a gui fo rit.
[07:12] <arunkumar413> Doyle:i'm unable to connect to internet using my huawei EC325 CDMA 1x modem
[07:12] <littlebones> wicd shows up in my synaptic, so i'm a bit puzzled
[07:12] <Loshki> JHAY: what's on the *other* end of the ethernet cable?
[07:12] <JHAY> i have 10.04 netbook
[07:12] <Doyle> arunkumar413: AH, best to talk to your service provider then
[07:12] <JHAY> and on the other end i tried
[07:12] <JHAY> a) router
[07:12] <arunkumar413> Doyle :it works on 9.04
[07:13] <arunkumar413> Doyle: it troubling me on 10.4
[07:13] <Loshki> JHAY: does the router have a blinky light so you can see if packets are coming in/going out of the connection?
[07:13] <JHAY> b) directly plugged into cable modem. both times it acted as if it were connecting...then stopped and said "no internet connection"
[07:13] <Doyle> christmas11: You may have a jammed session on the router, (reaching) have you power cycled the router by removing the power adapter for 10 seconds?
[07:14] <christmas11> Nope, but I'll give it a try. This'll disconnect me
[07:14] <JHAY> LOSHKI: it has that light but it stays solid
[07:14] <Doyle> christmas11: ok, I'll be here when you get back
[07:14] <Loshki> JHAY: solid? That's not right. Bad cable?
[07:14] <arunkumar413> Doyle:its detected my modem, but when i click to connect it shows "network disconnected-youu are offline now"
[07:15] <JHAY> nope.. cable works fine it is plugged into xbox or pc
[07:15] <arunkumar413> is there a separate channel for network manager issues
[07:15] <littlebones> you could always try the unplug modem/re-plug
[07:15] <littlebones> seen that solve problems in windows many times
[07:15] <JHAY> solid light simply means router detects cable plugged in on both ends
[07:15] <webmaven> Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Is Like The Best Shit I Have Seen Around In A While Now :)
[07:15] <JHAY> linksys routers only blink with activity and LITTLEBONES: i tried :(
[07:16] <Loshki> JHAY: got any other connections to the router? Are they on solid too?  I remember playing around with that some time ago.. there's a command.. let me see if I can find it again
[07:17] <JHAY> so this is what im thinking a) i have to have the driver installed or ubuntu would have no idea i plugged in...b)its not a router problem because i plugged into both the router and the modem driectly
[07:17] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, thanks!
[07:18] <Loshki> JHAY: ok, open a terminal and type 'ifconfig -a'. Is there an eth0 entry?
[07:19] <JHAY> LOSHKI: yes, there is
[07:19] <Doyle> arunkumar413: All I've got for you is this addy, hopefully something here will help. I've never used that type of modem before. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto/Huawei/E220
[07:19] <christmas11> Doyle: No luck
[07:20] <Doyle> christmas11: You're the admin for this router?
[07:20] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: try running this from a command line..    sleep 1; xset dpms force off
[07:20] <Loshki> JHAY: does it have an inet addr? Does it say: UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST. What about the errors: count?
[07:20] <christmas11> Yes
[07:20] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: more info here http://www.shallowsky.com/linux/x-screen-blanking.html
[07:21] <JHAY> LOSHKI: no inet address...yes on UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST...no errors
[07:21] <Doyle> christmas11: Make the ssid visable, then connect directly. If it works, you can hide it again after.
[07:21] <rocket16> Since Chrome is nice, but a bit slow, so I decided to make hacks to make it faster. (Firefox doesn't suite my needs, and Browsing speed is faster in Chrome). So, I read that if we disable the Malware and Phishing Protection in Chrome, it will consume less RAM. As we are in Ubuntu, there is no problem related to Virus, :) So, no worries about Malwares. But Phishing can be still a problem. So, is disabling Malware and Phishing Protection insecure in Ubuntu
[07:21] <nope> I seem to remember using Huawei E220 on ubuntu 9.10. Dont think I had to do any config at all outside of networkmanager
[07:21] <Doyle> christmas11: by connect directly I mean point and click on it from the wireless list.
[07:21] <Loshki> JHAY: that's a good sign. What IP address *should* it have?
[07:21] <JHAY> 192.168.2.xxx
[07:22] <Doyle> Ohh nice JHAY
[07:22] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, how do i turn it back on?
[07:22] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: just moving the mouse should work
[07:22] <Loshki> JHAY: ok, pick a 192.168.2.XXX address that you know isn't being used by anyone else. Tell me what you've picked.
[07:23] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: at least it did for me
[07:23] <JHAY> <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:23] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, ok i'm gonna try now ;p
[07:24] <ubuntu_> shell scripting someone to help me??
[07:24] <DjDark> anyone know foxyproxy? just poped up on my screen...i thought i was safe from popups :))
[07:24] <DjDark> lol
[07:24] <Slart> ubuntu_: just ask your question
[07:24] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, i see: "xset:  unable to open display " after tryint to run that
[07:24] <Loshki> JHAY: ok, type: sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> up
[07:24] <jMyles> !root
[07:24] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: you're not running X ? you're on a server?
[07:25] <ubuntu_> i try to make a script and i need someone to help me to edit my code
[07:25] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, no i'm running ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition on that box
[07:25] <JHAY> LOSHKI:done
[07:25] <rocket16> ubuntu_: You can post the code in Pastebin or Codepad, and the people here will view the code and will try to help you.
[07:26] <Loshki> JHAY: Do 'ifconfig -a' again. Is the ip address there now?
[07:26] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: hmm.. well.. on that webpage they warned that not all setups reacted to this.. not really sure if it's configurable or not
[07:26] <JHAY> LOSHKI: yes
[07:26] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, ah ok; sad.  that would make my life easier
[07:26] <Loshki> JHAY: what is the ip address of the router?
[07:26] <ubuntu_> my code is here i try to make hangman game my problem is when calculate lifes
[07:26] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: nothing happened at all? not even a little blink?
[07:26] <ubuntu_> http://pastebin.com/0j3MjNyN
[07:27] <TheMusicGuy> I clean-installed 10.04 recently, and now I have no sound control icon in the panel, and I can't seem to find it anywhere.
[07:27] <JHAY> <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:27] <ubuntu_> if someone make a reply to this link and solve this problem
[07:27] <Loshki> JHAY: ok, try to ping it. ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:27] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, my computer laughed at me.  and did nothing
[07:27] <TheMusicGuy> I have to get to sound properties through the system menu, or else use keyboard shortcuts to change the volume.
[07:27] <JHAY> LOSHKI: destination host unreachable
[07:27] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: oh.. you've got one of those systems =)
[07:27] <k1rb> TheMusicGuy, I am having the same issue, but mine just disappeared about a minute ago.
[07:28] <BodyThief> howdy folks
[07:28] <TheMusicGuy> It doesn't show up in guest logins either...
[07:28] <TheMusicGuy> however, sound still works just fine.
[07:29] <Loshki> JHAY: type 'route'. I bet the routing table is empty...
[07:29] <nope> TheMusicGuy: right click on panel, choose add to panel, choose indicator applet, click add, your done
[07:29] <BodyThief> i hate to be a pop-in question asker.  but i'm kinda stressing.  wonder if i can get a bit of assistance from someone.
[07:29] <ruien> ubuntu_: what is the problem..?
[07:29] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: you can try another variant of the same command..     xset dpms force standby
[07:29] <JHAY> LOSHKI: how on earth do i get it to stop pinging
[07:29] <Loshki> JHAY: ctrl-C
[07:29] <ruien> JHAY: Ctrl-C
[07:29] <TheMusicGuy> nope: ...I don't get it. What's going on here?
[07:29] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, sadly same thing happened "xset:  unable to open display ""
[07:29] <BodyThief> i guess i'll do the question toss and see anyone wants to help..  dual boot, XP & unbuntu , just upgraded from unbuntu 9.x to 10.04.  unbuntu boots fine, but now i cannot access XP.  grub shows an option for it, but when it trys to start, just shows a cursor in upper left.
[07:29] <hufx> ping ping pong
[07:30] <Slart> BodyThief: this is a pop-in questions kind of channel, don't feel bad about it.. there's no queue system.. just ask away
[07:30] <BodyThief> thanks Slart
[07:30] <JHAY> LOSHKI: i typed in route and got a table
[07:30] <ubuntu_> i can't calculate right the lifes maybe i made fault in loops
[07:30] <nope> TheMusicGuy: you wanted to get your volume "applet" back on the panel?
[07:30] <christmas11> Doyle: okay, so I set it to broadcast ssid and it finds it and the icon changes for a second (as if to go from searching to acquiring address) then back to disconnected. I'm running 10.04 btw
[07:30] <ruien> BodyTheif: i have the _exact_ same problem. How did you get the windows install there in the first place?
[07:30] <Loshki> JHAY: is there an line beginning with 'default'?
[07:30] <FisherPrice70> I'm having difficulties with my kde open compositing.... it was working yesterday but now it won't work
[07:31] <TheMusicGuy> nope: yes, and apparently its been moved to an alternate indicator applet...or something?
[07:31] <FisherPrice70> glxinfo | grep -i opengl
[07:31] <FisherPrice70> OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
[07:31] <FisherPrice70> OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 9400 GT/PCI/SSE2
[07:31] <nope> TheMusicGuy: yes, so if you do the steps I said, you will get it back
[07:31] <Doyle> christmas11: hmmmmm... so, gets kicked back. Lets see if we can find a log entry.
[07:31] <FisherPrice70> OpenGL version string: 3.2.0 NVIDIA 195.36.15
[07:31] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: you're running this from a regular gnome-terminal? not from a TTY?
[07:31] <BodyThief> .......i had XP installed originally.  installed Unb-9.x from disc into empty part.
[07:31] <FisherPrice70> OpenGL shading language version string: 1.50 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
[07:31] <JHAY> LOSHKI: destination - <IP_ADDRESS> --- Gateway - * ---- Genmask - <IP_ADDRESS> ---- flags,metric,ref - u,0,0 --- use - 0 ---- iface - eth0
[07:31] <FisherPrice70> does anyone have any ideas?
[07:31] <FisherPrice70> I can get XRender to composit
[07:31] <TheMusicGuy> nope: I mean, don't get me wrong. Your suggestion worked, thank you. But I don't know why some things are on the "default" indicator now and some are on this...other one.
[07:31] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, i'm ssh'ing into the box;
[07:32] <FisherPrice70> but not kwin... I've asked on the kubuntu irc
[07:32] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, probably should have mentioned that ;p
[07:32] <nope> I have no idea, probably gnome that has changed the previous default applets
[07:32] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: aahhh.. got a fix for you.. try this       DISPLAY=:0.0 xset dpms force off
[07:32] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, wow you win an amazing prize!
[07:32] <nope> kinda stupid, but there you go :)
[07:32] <ruien> BodyTheif: did the upgrade take you from grub v.1 to grub v.2 ?
[07:32] <arooni-mobile___> i can now turn/off my desktop from my laptop!
[07:32] <TheMusicGuy> nope: ...k.
[07:33] <arooni-mobile___> Slart, desktop display!  woot!

[07:33] <Slart> arooni-mobile___: ah.. this should simplify things, yes =)
[07:33] <ruien> BodyThief: run the command "grub", and see if bash tells you it's not installed but could be
[07:34] <Doyle> christmas11: the last three lines or so should show the results of your last connection attempt

[07:35] <Loshki> JHAY: is there an option to fill in the ip address and gateway etc.?
[07:35] <christmas11> Doyle: Device stage change :9 -> 3 (reason 0) Deactivating device (reason: 0) Canceled DHCP Transaction dhcp clientPID 2066

[07:38] <Loshki> JHAY: does ifconfig -a show the right values now?
[07:38] <christmas11> Doyle: Its running now
[07:38] <JHAY> no
[07:38] <christmas11> Doyle: for some reason it didn't like my ipv6 settings so I disabled it

[07:39] <JHAY> LOSHKI: it reset everything
[07:39] <well_laid_lawn> Loshki: there's prob no auto eth0 line in JHAY 's interface file
[07:39] <JHAY> LOSHKI: i have no ipaddress
[07:39] <Doyle> hopefully ipv6 will take off someday
[07:40] <k1rb>  How do I get my volume control back onto my task bar (at the top). I don't know what I've done, but it disappeared.

[07:57] <theadmin> mayank: Wasn't my suggestion :P I just explained what Lucid is
[07:58] <tiger2wander> hi there
[07:58] <mayank> theadmin: ok, but can u help me wid sound
[07:59] <theadmin> mayank: I'm not much into driver problems, sorry
[07:59] <mayank> theadmin: ok
[07:59] <theadmin> Hm, this wiki page is outdated :P "See also the Ubuntu  Developer Summit for Maverick, which will take place from May 10th  to 14th, 2010 at the Dolce La Hulpe Hotel and Resort in Brussels,  Belgium."
[07:59] <tiger2wander> Is there any info about a little version of Ubuntu like for MID run with AMD processors?
[07:59] <Merwin> hi
[07:59] <jabato> hi
[08:00] <Allanea> hey
[08:00] <Allanea> guys
[08:00] <Allanea> I need help
[08:00] <theadmin> jabato, Merwin, Allanea, hello there, ask your questions, we all will be glad to help if we can
[08:00] <well_laid_lawn> !minimal | tiger2wander this runs on most cpus
[08:00] <Allanea> I need a way to install a new web browser WITHOUT going into Firefox
[08:00] <Merwin> I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and I would like to disable the 'splashscreen', I have to see boot messages
[08:00] <theadmin> Allanea: apt-get?
[08:00] <crocket> Why is linux said to be so secure from viruses without antivirus?
[08:00] <Allanea> theadmin: I know what apt-get is
[08:01] <theadmin> crocket: Because there are only 3-5 viruses for Linux in existance :P
[08:01] <Allanea> but I've been using Linux for all of 3 days
[08:01] <theadmin> Allanea: Oh, I see. Which browser do you want?
[08:01] <Merwin> crocket, viruses are developped for windows. A windows viruses (99.9% of the viruses) won't work on linux.
[08:01] <Allanea> theadmin: something that eats less RAM
[08:01] <theadmin> Allanea: Hm... Google Chrome should cut it
[08:01] <Allanea> because bvasically going into Firefox just makes the system hang up
[08:01] <crocket> theadmin : If I get infected with one of those without antivirus, wouldn't it be dangerous?
[08:01] <Allanea> what about Konqui? I know nothing about any of these
[08:01] <Allanea> but anything would work
[08:01] <theadmin> crocket: Welp, they all are already patched against right in kernel
[08:01] <jabato> Allanea: I use Chromium (is Chrome for linux) in Ubuntu. It works fine.
[08:02] <Allanea> just tell me what to type into apt-get
[08:02] <Merwin> I'm using Ubuntu 10.04, and I would like to disable the 'splashscreen', I have to see boot messages to answer questions asked by init.d scripts !
[08:02] <tiger2wander> well_laid_lawn, I known it, but it is not thing I decide to ask
[08:02] <crocket> theadmin : do you mean the low market share of linux made it possible to be virus-free?
[08:02] <Allanea> exactly, crocket
[08:02] <crocket> It's sad
[08:02] <Allanea> you understand, jabato
[08:02] <mayank> i can't hear any sound in my ubuntu 9.04, song is playing but no sound, what to do?
[08:03] <well_laid_lawn> tiger2wander: you were a bit vague with that quest - care to rephrase it?
[08:03] <Allanea> for me Terminal is a black and white wastleand with a cursor
[08:03] <theadmin> Allanea: Sorry, Google Chrome seems to require a browser to install it :/ Can't get a direct link... okay... Chromium should do though
[08:03] <Allanea> yes well I don't HAVE a working Browser
[08:03] <Allanea> that's exactly my problem, sorry :(
[08:03] <mohamed> hi
[08:03] <mohamed> i need help
[08:04] <theadmin> Allanea: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[08:04] <theadmin> Allanea: Run that in terminal
[08:04] <tiger2wander> well_laid_lawn, an OS like MID will be good for laptop in Multimedia or Web browsing mode, so u will not need to boot full your OS when u only need to use web browser,im, email...
[08:04] <well_laid_lawn> mayank: in terminal type   cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp   - be careful it is loud and ctrl+c to kill it - anything?
[08:04] <mohamed> i'm learning assembly and i need an assembler
[08:04] <well_laid_lawn> tiger2wander: don't know mid at all - never heard of it sorry
[08:05] <mohamed> hellooooooooooooooooooo
[08:06] <theadmin> Allanea: Linux terminal is powerful, you'll get to know that in a while :D Of course, you could go to System -> Admininstration -> Synaptic, search for it there and install this way, or find it in Ubuntu Software Center
[08:06] <jabato> if you type linux antivirus into a google search, the first result is an article from linux.com entitled "note to linux newcomers: no antivirus needed"
[08:06] <grendal_prime> gooood daaamn it...this is the 3rd virtualbox vm i have had croak in two days!!!! is anyone else have to deal with this????
[08:06] <mohamed> i'm learning assembly and i need an assembler
[08:06] <well_laid_lawn> grendal_prime: the is #vbox
[08:06] <theadmin> mohamed: Do not repeat the question too often
[08:06] <mohamed> how can i get one
[08:06] <mohamed> sorry sir
[08:06] <theadmin> mohamed: No one knows => No answer
[08:06] <tiger2wander> well_laid_lawn, it is described here: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/mobile
[08:06] <rzx237> !nasm
[08:06] <mohamed> i'm sorry
[08:06] <well_laid_lawn> !info nasm
[08:07] <mayank> well_laid_lawn: its says no such directory
[08:07] <Ginbuntu> I have problem installing gnoCHM on Lucid. gnochm: Depends: python-gtkhtml2 but it is not installable
[08:07] <tiger2wander> well_laid_lawn, it was removed :(
[08:07] <mohamed> how can i download nasm ?
[08:08] <theadmin> mohamed: sudo apt-get install nasm
[08:08] <mohamed> thanks
[08:08] <tiger2wander> well_laid_lawn, it is moblin, and located here: http://moblin.org/ for now
[08:08] <well_laid_lawn> mayank: prob means the sound card wasn't found during boot - in terminal   lspci | grep AUDIO   to check
[08:09] <grendal_prime> and man  o man this aptitude segfaulting bug is such a hard one up the ..you know what.
[08:09] <tiger2wander> well_laid_lawn, I've just found the channel for moblin #moblin, anyway, thanks
[08:09] <well_laid_lawn> k
[08:09] <mayank> well_laid_lawn: ok, i check
[08:09] <theadmin> grendal_prime: Aptitude segfaulting?  How to remove an app compiled from source if it installed itself in /usr/local? :/
[08:13] <well_laid_lawn> !checkinstall | theadmin
[08:13] <simplexio> grendal_prime: testing tesing. run bonnie++, some memoeryteser, get cpu on high loads. if some of those fails you probably have hw problems.. it isnt that uncommon. there maybe just too much dust in fans etc..
[08:13] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: Well, I'll be damned, too late for that now I guess
[08:14] <ruien> theadmin: does your 'make' implement any 'uninstall' target?
[08:14] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: your at the point of remoing files one by one or installing over it
[08:14] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: Installing over. Good idea. Now to just grab the same version tarball :D
[08:14] <rzx237> do we can select language while login from gdm if using ubuntu installed from cd? bcause I can't do it on ubuntu netinstall
[08:15] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[08:15] <BruceChang> Hello, It's my understand the LTS will be supported for 5 years. Can anyone teach me about the years that the Ubuntu non-LTS OS will be supported?
[08:15] <marios> can anyone help me with an issue i have with samba server?
[08:15] <pa1> The LTS support is for 3 years.
[08:15] <theadmin> BruceChang: It's usually 2 years I suppose
[08:15] <well_laid_lawn> marios: you need to tell the issue mate :]
[08:15] <simplexio> BruceChang: i thinks its 2 years
[08:16] <BruceChang> pa1: Thanks
[08:16] <well_laid_lawn> BruceChang: 5yrs on the server 3yrs on the desktop
[08:16] <pa1> Well i guess that means, we will be having a complete new kernal update in the next version. so 3 years it is lolz
[08:16] <BruceChang> simplexio: Thank you vry much for your confirmation.
[08:16] <pa1> yep. three years on the desktop :)
[08:18] <mayank> well_laid_lawn: nothing
[08:18] <mayank> i can't hear any sound in my ubuntu 9.04, song is playing but no sound, what to do?

[08:20] <TheMusicGuy> I'm trying to get LMMS to work with Jack, so I installed the RT kernel and started LMMS, but Jack said something about not being able to find enough open channels or something, then LMMS got stuck, and now it just freezes when it starts and there's no output. Also, I have no sound anymore.
[08:20] <ThePassingShadow> Don't know how to configure grub
[08:20] <ThePassingShadow> Can someone help out ?

[08:24] <well_laid_lawn> Gabriel: in lshw here it lists the model - serial # not name tho
[08:25] <Gabriel> well_laid_lawn, is there a way to see the name?
[08:25] <well_laid_lawn> Gabriel: here I get - description: Motherboard       product: 085Ch

[08:26] <csaba> in a simple 1 layered image, I want to select something and move it... how to do that?
[08:26] <DraZoro> lshw-gui Gabriel
[08:26] <csaba> if I use the Move tool, it moves the whole layer
[08:26] <csaba> in gimp
[08:26] <well_laid_lawn> Gabriel: a gui would just interrogate lshw afaik - so maybe not...
[08:26] <Gabriel> well_laid_lawn, thanks
[08:26] <theadmin> csaba: Select it first, I suppose
[08:26] <csaba> i did
[08:26] <csaba> now what?
[08:27] <well_laid_lawn> Gabriel: find the serial # and put it through google

[08:29] <ikonia> then it didn't run with out errors
[08:29] <csaba> in gimp, how to select one part of an image and move it 5 cm to the left?
[08:29] <ikonia> csaba: try in #gimp
[08:29] <csaba> I did try
[08:29] <kaioken> ikonia: but there was just a library not found  error
[08:29] <kaioken> and I removed it
[08:30] <ikonia> kaioken: so whats the question ?
[08:30] <theadmin> Okay, the checkinstall thing rocks :D
[08:30] <kaioken> when I gave 'make' comamnd
[08:30] <kaioken> then there was error
[08:31] <r2j>    rzx237 : how to configure ejabberd
[08:31] <ElTimo> anyone?
[08:32] <CaptainTrek> ElTimo: just wait and see if you get a response
[08:32] <ElTimo> well i just got one :P
[08:32] <schlaftier> ElTimo: pkill notify-osd
[08:32] <vishpoison> hey i need some help with ubuntu 10.04
[08:32] <ElTimo> schlaftier: didn't work
[08:33] <ikonia> vishpoison: then ask your question
[08:33] <rzx237> r2j: you need to edit /etc/ejabberd/ejabberd.cfg
[08:33] <vishpoison> i chmoded my /usr folder.. and now i can't access as root using the sudo command
[08:33] <schlaftier> ElTimo: how would you tell? Works for me
[08:33] <kaioken> ikonia:http://paste.ubuntu.com/440739/
[08:34] <kaioken> see the error I got
[08:34] <theadmin> How can I make checkinstall just build the package, not install it?
[08:34] <ikonia> kaioken: don't try to compile it, install kchmviewer from the repos
[08:34] <ElTimo> schlaftier: well, for one there wasn't a process running called notify-osd, and two when i sent myself an instant message i got the old style notification bubbles
[08:35] <kaioken> ikonia:I want to try compiling it .I have experience of installing it through repo
[08:35] <lyhana8> hi, how do I create .deb from source ? Is there software to do that ?
[08:35] <theadmin> lyhana8: checkinstall
[08:35] <ikonia> no
[08:36] <ikonia> kaioken: then compile it
[08:36] <ikonia> lyhana8: there is a documented process on the ubuntu wiki
[08:36] <well_laid_lawn> !checkinstall | lyhana8
[08:36] <schlaftier> ElTimo: you asked how to restart notify-osd. If that process is not running, do you have any other notification system?
[08:36] <kaioken> ikonia:whats the comamnd for that
[08:37] <kaioken> ikonia:I ahve used ccmake followed by make
[08:37] <ikonia> kaioken: the command for what ?
[08:37] <kaioken> compiling
[08:37] <ikonia> kaioken: yes, so you need to fix the error
[08:37] <lyhana8> is this if i want to submit the package to the official repo ? theadmin: ikonia well_laid_lawn
[08:37] <ElTimo> schlaftier: not that i started, just plain old notification-daemon was running but i killed it
[08:37] <well_laid_lawn> lyhana8: it will build a deb package
[08:37] <Merwin> I would liek to execute a script during the boot, when the splash is shown, how can I do that?
[08:38] <ikonia> lyhana8: the process is, checkinstall should not be used for that task
[08:38] <kaioken> ikonia:but how can I fix it thats my question.which dependency need to be installed
[08:38] <ikonia> kaioken: you need to research it - that's part of the learning, if you can't figure it out, use the version from the repo
[08:39] <lyhana8> ikonia: so how do I do then ? I'm looking to create package for 2 project one from python/source the other is in PHP
[08:39] <heatxsink> hi need help setting my nofile limit in /etc/security/limits.conf

[08:40] <vishpoison> how to get into the recovery mode with ubuntu 10.04 ?
[08:40] <ikonia> vishpoison: it's on the grub menu at boot time
[08:40] <kaioken> ikonia:I tried googling but in vain.Can u suggest any thing that may be causing the problem
[08:40] <vishpoison> ikonia : the grub menu won't show up
[08:41] <ikonia> kaioken: I'd suggest one of the QT libraries as it's a graphical component
[08:41] <well_laid_lawn> vishpoison: hold down the right shift key during boot
[08:41] <Angel-SL> hi; I installed Ubuntu 10.04 and am now trying to get colinux to boot it (on windows)
[08:41] <vishpoison> ikonia : any way i can access it?
[08:41] <ikonia> Angel-SL: that's not an ubuntu issue
[08:41] <ikonia> vishpoison: see well_laid_lawn's advice
[08:42] <phlak_user> !info ubuntu-tweak
[08:42] <vishpoison> yup.. trying that
[08:42] <Merwin> I would like to execute a script during the boot, when the splash is shown, how can I do that? It seems that scripts places in init.d are not loaded
[08:42] <theadmin> Angel-SL: COLinux is not like that, it's a Linux that runs inside windows, it does not boot real installs
[08:42] <ikonia> !packing | lyhana8
[08:42] <phlak_user> Merwin: /etc/rc.local
[08:42] <ikonia> !packaging | lyhana8
[08:42] <Angel-SL> theadmin: it does; i'd link you but I don't want to start anything
[08:42] <vishpoison> yup.. it worked..thanks :) :)
[08:43] <Merwin> phlak_user, it is executed during the splash? I will use plymouth the show message
[08:43] <theadmin> Angel-SL: Well, I just based my answer on what I saw on andLinux page (A ubuntu distro made to work inside windows, it says it's based on COLinux)
[08:44] <ikonia> theadmin: either way, none of this is anything to do with ubuntu
[08:44] <theadmin> ikonia: True.
[08:44] <phlak_user> Merwin: not sure about the splash tho
[08:44] <vikas_> hi
[08:44] <vikas_> a
[08:44] <vikas_> all
[08:44] <theadmin> ikonia: Well, actually dude wants to run Ubuntu with CoLinux so it has something to do with it
[08:45] <ikonia> theadmin: no - it doesn't
[08:45] <Shorer1> ïðèâåò
[08:45] <theadmin> ikonia: How come?
[08:45] <ikonia> theadmin: co-linux is not something we support
[08:45] <bazhang> !ru | Shorer1
[08:45] <theadmin> ikonia: Well, I see, I'm not the type to mess with the ops so I'll stop it
[08:45] <theadmin> bazhang: That is NOT russian, I can tell for sure
[08:46] <well_laid_lawn> I was thinking that
[08:46] <phlak_user> Merwin: just found out that plymouth gets killed in rc.local so maybe you can do that. --> http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Plymouth
[08:46] <well_laid_lawn> but is there a link for arabic?
[08:46] <Shorer1> !ru íåò òàì íè êîãî :(\
[08:46] <phlak_user> !arabic
[08:46] <well_laid_lawn> well it wasn't that then
[08:47] <well_laid_lawn> !en | Shorer1
[08:47] <theadmin> Shorer1: Unfortunately, you use a client with non-UTF8 encoding so all we receive are question marks. Please try XChat, Pidgin, irssi or any other Unicode client.
[08:48] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: I get letters from him - is it your client?
[08:48] <well_laid_lawn> they are wierd tho
[08:48] <vikas_> my login window preference is different
[08:49] <Lantizia> Hey is it possible for a CD drive to show up as /dev/sda or sdb etc... or will it always be /dev/scd0 or scd1 etc
[08:49] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: Possible, could you copy what you received?
[08:49] <tntc> Lantizia: I've seen /dev/sr0
[08:49] <theadmin> Lantizia: They always should be scdX
[08:49] <phlak_user> Merwin: scratch that... plymouth is now controlled by upstart in lucid hence you could call your script within the plymouth startup
[08:49] <Slart> Lantizia: I'm not sure what happens if you have a sata cd/dvd
[08:49] <Lantizia> tntc, true for USB
[08:49] <theadmin> Lantizia: Or srX
[08:49] <vikas_> i want install login window preference
[08:49] <Lantizia> So possibilities are hd* sr* scd*
[08:49] <Merwin> phlak_user, how can I do that?
[08:49] <Lantizia> but not sd*
[08:49] <tntc> Lantizia: My CD Drive is SATA, I'm pretty sure, and it's showing up as sr0...
[08:50] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: Shorer1> ïðèâåò
[08:50] <phlak_user> Merwin: not sure; look into /etc/init.d; you will see startup and shutdown entries for plymouth
[08:50] <oxymoron> Does anyone use Truecrypt in here on *buntu?
[08:50] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: Still encoding problems visible
[08:50] <theadmin> oxymoron: Why yes, I do
[08:50] <phlak_user> !upstart| Merwin
[08:50] <Slart> Lantizia: system, administration, login screen doesn't work for you?
[08:50] <vikas_> how can i install windows preference
[08:50] <Lantizia> Slart, wrong person
[08:51] <Slart> Lantizia: ooops, sorry
[08:51] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: it must be your client or a lack of locales installed maybe
[08:51] <Slart> vikas_: system, administration, login screen doesn't work for you?
[08:51] <oxymoron> theadmin: I wonder if its possible to encrypt the whole drive or partitions without data loss if its already exists files on them?
[08:51] <Gabriel> well_laid_lawn, thanks a lot m8. cya later
[08:51] <well_laid_lawn> Gabriel: bye
[08:51] <vikas_> Slart, no
[08:51] <theadmin> well_laid_lawn: This doesn't look like any language to me anyway :P
[08:51] <theadmin> oxymoron: Only on Windows Vista/7 so far, sorry
[08:51] <oxymoron> theadmin: I have search a lot on Google and trying to find useful info, but nothing yet.
[08:51] <well_laid_lawn> theadmin: it is weird looking :]
[08:51] <oxymoron> theadmin: Do you know if it will be supported later on?
[08:52] <Lantizia> Slart, theadmin, tntc: So in a guide I'm safe putting....  hd* (letter for IDE drive), sr* (number for USB drive) or scd* (number for SATA drive)
[08:52] <oxymoron> theadmin: And on Vista/7, you mena only OS or FAT/NTFS?
[08:52] <ikonia> Lantizia: all disks are seen as sata now
[08:52] <ikonia> (or scsi to be exact)
[08:52] <oxymoron> theadmin: Then I wonder, is it possible to encrypt a external drive?
[08:52] <Lantizia> ikonia, even IDE ones?
[08:52] <ikonia> Lantizia: yes
[08:52] <Lantizia> ikonia, even IDE hard disks?
[08:52] <theadmin> oxymoron: I mean that you can only encrypt partitions/drives without losing info on Vista/7
[08:53] <theadmin> oxymoron: Why yes, I have a encrypted external HD
[08:53] <Slart> Lantizia: not sure about the hd* thing anymore.. they did something to that sub system a couple of years ago
[08:53] <_wasabi> hello
[08:53] <oxymoron> theadmin: So it would be possible create Truecrypt partitions in Vista/7 and then go back to ubuntu and mount them?
[08:53] <oxymoron> theadmin: Alright, and then should you use key files or just password?
[08:54] <theadmin> oxymoron: Yes, that'd be about right, but they by no chance can be ext2/3/4... and I preffer using just password
[08:54] <oxymoron> theadmin: Seems scary using keyfiles if you loose them :D
[08:54] <_wasabi> i'm having a problem connecting to aim from empathy and pidgin. with empathy i get a "error - no network connection" and with pidgin it says it can't connect to the oscar server
[08:54] <_wasabi> i think this has something to do with a proxy settings
[08:54] <_wasabi> since gtalk works fine on both
[08:54] <_wasabi> has anyone else experienced this?
[08:54] <theadmin> oxymoron: Then again, you can forget password to :D I'm just not paranoid enough to use keyfiles
[08:54] <oxymoron> theadmin: Alright, my external drive is NTFS, but then its empty so no prob this time.
[08:54] <phlak_user> !info encfs
[08:55] <oxymoron> theadmin: Is it possible to save password or so on a iso-file and burn it?
[08:55] <oxymoron> theadmin: I mean save both keyfiles and pass.
[08:55] <vikas_> how to install login window preference
[08:55] <theadmin> oxymoron: uhm... I dunno. You can burn a disc with keyfiles and a text file containing the password for sure
[08:56] <Docteh> oxymoron: you'd burn a cd for less than a megabyte in data?
[08:56] <oxymoron> theadmin: Alright, seems that is the most secure way. I think I try on my external 1 TB drive then, want to know how good Truecrypt is even that I dont really need it.
[08:56] <theadmin> oxymoron: By the way, when you format a device with truecrypt it might be a good idea to use "No filesystem" and then when mounting do "DO NOT MOUNT", and then format /dev/mapper/truecryptX to filesystem you want manually using mkfs
[08:56] <oxymoron> Docteh: I was thinking of providing a LOT of keyfiles and fill a cd
[08:56] <Shamoun> hey guys
[08:57] <vikas_> HELP
[08:57] <ikonia> vikas_: ask a question
[08:57] <phlak_user> !repeat | vikas_
[08:57] <rzx237> vikas_: do you mean System > Administration > Login Screen ?
[08:57] <theadmin> ikonia: He did ask and he was answered already, but he still is asking
[08:57] <pynchon> yes hello
[08:57] <phlak_user> rzx237: in Lucid, that doesnt let you change the themes as in earlier distros
[08:57] <vikas_> ya
[08:57] <oxymoron> theadmin: What does "No filesystem" mean, does it mean I just got ecnrypt without formatting and then format it myself? :S
[08:58] <theadmin> oxymoron: Quite so.
[08:58] <oxymoron> theadmin: Is it possible to format into ext4?
[08:58] <{g}> Hey People! When I connected a notebook with the net via bluetooth and a nokia handy, I installed the "bluez-gnome" package. Is that still necessary in Ubuntu 10?
[08:58] <theadmin> oxymoron: Rather advanced. The first rule of Linux: If you don't know what it is, you don't need it
[08:58] <pynchon> LOL
[08:58] <pynchon> lrn2op
[08:59] <phlak_user> vikas_: the only way is to use ubuntu-tweak like this --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1490784
[08:59] <oxymoron> theadmin: Alright, I guess I skip that then :P QUite sad they adept Truecrypt mostly for Windows :(
[08:59] <rzx237> phlak_user: so maybe we can install another display manager
[08:59] <vikas_> i wanna have login window preference not login screen rzx237 ikonia
[08:59] <theadmin> oxymoron: Well, you can, in truecrypt first encrypt the device with no filesystem, then mount it and when mouning choose do not mount, and then: mkfs.ext4 /dev/mapper/truecrypt1
[08:59] <ikonia> vikas_: rzx237 ?
[09:00] <phlak_user> vikas_: you mean change the type of session at login?
[09:00] <christmas1> How do I get the internet to connect with autologin?
[09:00] <pynchon> yes hello
[09:00] <pynchon> hello friends
[09:00] <bazhang> pynchon, hi
[09:00] <oxymoron> theadmin: Well, it seems unlogic on a external drive anyway, NTFS is the most compatible one on both Linux and Windows
[09:00] <pynchon> brutal kline
[09:00] <phlak_user> !hi | pynchon
[09:00] <Gabriel> is there a way to back up all my installed packages for later use, lets say, after formatting my HD for quick install?
[09:00] <vikas_> phlak_user, i wanna change login box
[09:00] <phlak_user> vikas_: see my earlier reply
[09:00] <theadmin> oxymoron: That is also true. Altough Linux truecrypt does not format to NTFS either, so you'll have to mess the same way
[09:01] <Night_Elf`food> Gabriel: dpkg --get-selections > /home/user/package-list.txt
[09:01] <phlak_user> Gabriel: though you could create a backup of /var/apt/cache I dont know if that would help on a fresh installation
[09:01] <oxymoron> theadmin: Bah, to bad. Maybe I wait a little for the new GUI and more Linux support.
[09:01] <vikas_> phlak_user, i have ubuntu trick but it cant change login box just bk screen
[09:01] <flasherror> chromium is giving me
[09:01] <Night_Elf`food> Gabriel: that will create a list, which you can then feed to the system after the reinstall.  :D
[09:02] <flasherror>  /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so
[09:02] <Gabriel> Night_Elf`food, let's say I installed a new system, how do i ivoke it?
[09:02] <Gabriel> Night_Elf`food, let's say I installed a new system, how do i invoke it?
[09:02] <EthanZ6174> grub2 能改字体么？比如改成 monaco 什么的，中文不在乎。
[09:03] <theadmin> ubottu: cn | EthanZ6174
[09:03] <phlak_user> !jp | EthanZ6174
[09:03] <Night_Elf`food> Gabriel: phlak_user: it's good. To feed it back to the system you use   dpkg --set-selections
[09:03] <flasherror> so i guess it is flash's fault that firefox and chrome crash
[09:03] <oxymoron> theadmin: It is, but not able to encrypt Linux ext drives without data loss, that sucks.
[09:03] <flasherror> any help at all
[09:03] <flasherror> im tired of this :p
[09:03] <EthanZ6174> can grub2 change fonts? like monaco or something else
[09:03] <happyaron> phlak_user: it's not japanese
[09:04] <Gabriel> Night_Elf`food, I get : bash: /home/user/package-list.txt: No such file or directory
[09:04] <Shamoun> i just upgraded my 9.10 to 10.04 and when i boot up now grub says "starting up" and then the screen goes blank and the monitor says "frequency out of range"
[09:04] <Night_Elf`food> Gabriel: you do:   dpkg --set-selections < /home/user/package-list.txt
[09:04] <Shamoun> any ideas?
[09:04] <Night_Elf`food> Gabriel: well, that .txt file is the one created with --get-selections
[09:04] <happyaron> EthanZ6174: you may want to check grub wiki and try to generate your own fonts
[09:05] <oxymoron> theadmin: ?
[09:05] <theadmin> oxymoron: Hm?
[09:05] <flasherror> im sorry to pry and whine
[09:05] <Night_Elf`food> Gabriel: and, you have to be root to do all these.  :D"
[09:05] <flasherror> but can anyone help
[09:05] <EthanZ6174> happyaron, hihi, meet you here is kinda mixed feeling...
[09:05] <theadmin> oxymoron: Maybe, that depends on how... tricky the files there look :P
[09:05] <happyaron> EthanZ6174: :)
[09:06] <mokrzu> hello, what "vga= " parameter should i use in Grub menu.lst for 1360x768 resolution ?
[09:06] <theadmin> mokrzu: menu.lst is deprecated.
[09:07] <vikas_> phlak_user, ikonia rzx237 >i have this http://www.picpaste.com/Screenshot_4.png but i want this http://www.picpaste.com/snapshot2-279x360.png
[09:07] <oxymoron> theadmin: Because before I got INNOCENT invaded in my home by police because I matched criterias of a school massacre boy ... THen they took my whole computer and everything and asked me for passwords. IF (Hopefully not ever again) it happens again I will be ready and trick them so they cannot do anything, show how incompetent they are.
[09:07] <ikonia> vikas_: you can't do that in 10.04 any more
[09:07] <ikonia> !offtopic | oxymoron
[09:07] <mokrzu> ok, so it's not important ?
[09:08] <vikas_> ikonia there is no other way to modify login theme
[09:08] <ikonia> vikas_: no
[09:08] <oxymoron> theadmin: I guess hidden volume is the thing with some random files.
[09:08] <oxymoron> theadmin: Its not possible to see size of drive, right?
[09:09] <Night_Elf`food> Gabriel: after those, all you do is:     sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
[09:09] <vikas_> there must be some way by modifying .conf script
[09:09] <rzx237> vikas_: use old gdm or gdm-legacy from hardy heron, intall it from deb manually :P
[09:09] <Gabriel> Night_Elf`food, Great, thanks
[09:09] <ikonia> no
[09:09] <ikonia> rzx237: do not recommend that
[09:09] <rzx237> sorry
[09:09] <Night_Elf`food> Gabriel: no problem
[09:10] <vikas_> rzx237, i am new to linux plz can u tell where can i get that
[09:10] <theadmin> oxymoron: Yes
[09:10] <rzx237> I'm search the same answer as vikas_
[09:10] <ikonia> vikas_: you can't
[09:10] <ikonia> rzx237: at the moment, gdm can not be edited
[09:11] <vikas_> ikonia, can i remove the new gdm and install ond gdm
[09:11] <rzx237> ikonia: maybe edit some xml file somewhere?
[09:11] <oxymoron> theadmin: Hmm not sure if its good fill it with some random stuff so they get tricked enough ... We'll see later on then.
[09:12] <ikonia> rzx237: no
[09:12] <ikonia> vikas_: no
[09:12] <oxymoron> theadmin: Btw, do you know if its possible to skip BIOS logo screen someway fo make booting faster?
[09:12] <Night_Elf`food> rzx237: If I were you, I'd ask in #gnome  for they do know all the ins and outs of GNOME components
[09:12] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron:  thats a setting in BIOS
[09:12] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: But what happens if I do, if and when I want into BIOS later on, how?
[09:12] <IsUp> Hello, i am using 10.04 LTS, when i login with SSH, motd says "7 packages can be updated."
[09:12] <IsUp> how can i update these packages?
[09:13] <theadmin> oxymoron: Uh. No.
[09:13] <vikas_> ikonia, cant v just modify the existing image to new one what we want in the system files
[09:13] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron: you mean skipping BIOS' POST?
[09:13] <ikonia> vikas_: no
[09:13] <CaptainTrek> no you cant do that
[09:13] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: Yes
[09:13] <IsUp> i did 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' but it says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded."
[09:13] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron:  no you cant do that
[09:13] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron: no BIOS lets you turn that off
[09:13] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: Would be cool, I took time on my SSD drive, the BIOS logo and POST process take like 20 seconds and *buntu boots under 5 seconds
[09:14] <vikas_> ikonia, nothing is impossible ill solve this any how
[09:14] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: So it take like 30 seconds anyway
[09:14] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron:  its not safe to disable POST
[09:14] <CaptainTrek> trust me
[09:14] <Psy-T> Good morning all.
[09:14] <Psy-T> can someone help me get youtube videos and the like to work on Ubuntu?
[09:14] <theadmin> Psy-T: Flash?
[09:14] <CaptainTrek> Psy-T:  install flash player
[09:14] <vikas_> rzx237, if u get some thing then tell me
[09:14] <CaptainTrek> !flast | Psy-T
[09:14] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: Probably not ... Will it go faster if I buy a better motherboard? :D
[09:15] <theadmin> Psy-T: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[09:15] <CaptainTrek> !flash | Psy-T
[09:15] <well_laid_lawn> vikas_: http://www.kartook.com/2010/05/linux-how-do-you-change-login-gdm-image-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/
[09:15] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron:  dunno, what do you have in there now?
[09:15] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: A Asus Maximus Formula
[09:15] <Shamoun> hey guys, i upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 and now my monitor goes blank when i try and boot up, i have tried to remove the "quiet" line in grub and replace it with "nomodeset" but it doesn't make a difference
[09:15] <Shamoun> any ideas?
[09:15] <Psy-T> I have Gnash installed, but youtube still isn't working. I'll try to get Flash.
[09:15] <HarryS> gnash works fine on youtube for me
[09:15] <IsUp> Hello, i am using 10.04 LTS, when i login with SSH, motd says "7 packages can be updated."
[09:15] <IsUp> i did 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' but it says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded."
[09:15] <IsUp> how can i update these packages?
[09:16] <HarryS> install mozilla-gnashplugin (or something like that, Psy-T)
[09:16] <HarryS> It needs the mozilla plugins.
[09:16] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron: i dont know what would increase boot time, the lag might be because its testing all components on the system, but IDK
[09:16] <rzx237> vikas_: gdm-legacy is deprecated in lucid
[09:16] <Psy-T> HarryS: It is installed.
[09:16] <CaptainTrek> Psy-T: one sec
[09:16] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: I only use SATA units, one simple nvidia 7950 GT, 4 Corsair RAM 800 Mhz RAM
[09:16] <HarryS> hm
[09:16] <vikas_> well_laid_lawn, the file is not there
[09:16] <hsetiM> Help plz i have a 1 linux server n 15 clients (win 7) n i want to connect all the client to server in network for net connection n printer sharing how can i do this
[09:16] <shomon> how do I get my window buttons to go to the right side of the windows in ubuntu 10?
[09:16] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: I think its the only components affecting POST process
[09:16] <Psy-T> Installed Adobe's now, will try.
[09:17] <IsUp> hsetiM: use Samba
[09:17] <shomon> I can't find a setting under system->prefs->appearance
[09:17] <well_laid_lawn> vikas_: I just gave the link - didn't check it
[09:17] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: Then I did memorytest86+ before and got some errors on my RAM sticks, could be that?
[09:17] <Psy-T> still getting "An error occured, please try again later" in youtube.
[09:17] <theadmin> ubottu: controls | shomon
[09:17] <vikas_> rzx237, cant we modify gdm-legacy
[09:17] <well_laid_lawn> vikas_: try   http://cristalinux.blogspot.com/2010/02/missing-gdm.html  - or do your own googling
[09:17] <Psy-T> maybe I should just close and re-open firefox
[09:17] <IsUp> Psy-T: on your flash player?
[09:18] <IsUp> where it says "error occured"?
[09:18] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron:  could be
[09:18] <Psy-T> on the part of the window in youtube that's supposed to display the video, IsUp.
[09:18] <shomon> thanks theadmin !
[09:18]  * oxymoron recommend everyone NOT use Flash at all so Adobe realise that it sucks ....................
[09:18] <IsUp> restart firefox
[09:18] <hsetiM> IsUp, ok n how to share my net connections
[09:18] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: Do you know if its possible to fix erros on RAM someway in Ubuntu?
[09:19] <ikonia> oxymoron: it's not
[09:19] <Psy-T> that did the trick, and the audio is working without a hitch too. thanks. :)
[09:19] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: I have lifetime warranty on them so no prob, but would like to not send them in.
[09:19] <well_laid_lawn> !ics | hsetiM
[09:19] <oxymoron> ikonia: Alright, to bad :/
[09:19] <IsUp> i am using 10.04 LTS, when i login with SSH, motd says "7 packages can be updated."
[09:19] <IsUp> i did 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' but it says "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded."
[09:19] <hsetiM> IsUp, i also want to know which is device are used for net connection means router or switch
[09:19] <oxymoron> ikonia: Theoreticly then, would it be possible or what kind of errors is it? WHy does RAM get worse?
[09:19] <IsUp> but it still saying "7 packages can be updated"
[09:19] <theadmin> IsUp: apt-get dist-upgrade - try
[09:20] <ikonia> oxymoron: if you have ram errors - you have bad ram, you need to buy new ram
[09:20] <IsUp> oh, its going to install kernel headers
[09:20] <IsUp> i am scared
[09:20] <theadmin> IsUp: It won't remove old ones
[09:20] <oxidizer> hey
[09:20] <theadmin> IsUp: So if you want, you can always boot in old kernel
[09:20] <oxymoron> ikonia: Hmm :/ I guess I send them in later on then, not sure how you do it though, if you go to the vendor or Corsair itself.
[09:21] <alexbobP> is there a way to do an alternate install from a flash drive?
[09:21] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron:  go to Corsair
[09:21] <eFfeM_work> hi, is there a place where I can find gcc3 for 10.04? It doesn't seem to be on the official feed and I have a program that refuses to be compiled with gcc4
[09:21] <alexbobP> unetbootin seems to work just fine for the ubuntu livecd
[09:21] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron:  if its a lifetime warranty, corsair will fix it
[09:21] <alexbobP> but when I use unetbootin on the alternate cd, the installer doesn't work properly because it looks for a cd
[09:21] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: Then I have to pay for the freaking shipping and all, right? :S
[09:21] <CaptainTrek> oxymoron:  AFAIK, contact Corsair support first to figure it out
[09:21] <IsUp> i am using a FXO telephony card which using my kernel headers
[09:21]  * CaptainTrek goes to get pain meds
[09:22] <IsUp> i dont know so much but
[09:22] <IsUp> does it affects any software?
[09:22] <IsUp> i am running a PBX
[09:22] <theadmin> IsUp: Usually it does not... kernel updates break VirtualBox quite often though
[09:22] <oxymoron> CaptainTrek: But I am thinking of MAYBE buy new MB, CPU and RAM, but rather not if I dont need to because I have already throw away a lot of money lately on my freaking computer I dont want to sit on anyway
[09:22] <alexbobP> eFfeM_work: you can download it here: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.0/
[09:22] <bazhang> oxymoron, please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:23] <Psy-T> My QMMP won't open. I used it perfectly well yesterday, and after about 8 hours of playing music, jACK stalled, so I had to reset the bus and start it again. Since then, QMMP doesn't start.
[09:23] <alexbobP> eFfeM_work: whoops... that's not actually the download site, but it does link to the download sites.  ftp://ftp.mirrorservice.org/sites/sourceware.org/pub/gcc/old-releases/gcc-3/
[09:23] <oxymoron> bazhang: Alright, but I dont know when discussion goes support and when OT. Last time they said on off topic that I should go here :D
[09:23] <eFfeM_work> alexbobP: I know, but that would require me to rebuild the compiler. was hoping that there is a binary somewhere
[09:24] <IsUp> theadmin: updating to new kernel
[09:24] <Psy-T> I'd give an error log, but I didn't get such a report, the window just doesn't open.
[09:24] <alexbobP> eFfeM_work: oh, I dunno then.  I'm in the habit of building whenever something's not in the repos.
[09:24] <Ileden> Hi! After upgrading to lucid, I've been experiencing weird problems of system slowing down after some use time. ActionParsip asked me to look at dmesg after the slowdown happens, but I see nothing of significance there. Can anyone help me troubleshoot the issue further?
[09:24] <theadmin> alexbobP: Well of course :D No other way, either packages or build it
[09:24] <alexbobP> theadmin: well some software is provided as binaries
[09:25] <alexbobP> theadmin: in which case you wouldn't have to build it
[09:25] <IsUp> I have 2 servers, on same network. How can i "mount" a directory from A box to B box
[09:25] <alexbobP> gcc doesn't seem to have binaries for download though
[09:25] <theadmin> alexbobP: Oh... hm. DIdn't see this in quite a while
[09:25] <shomon> wow that gconftool is brilliant and fast...
[09:25] <alexbobP> IsUp: my favorite way is sshfs
