[18:13] <hemza> ikonia: if this can read my password so it is easy to find it ... ?????????
[18:13] <theredundant> its a file i "touch"
[18:13] <hussain> please help me out what is "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"
[18:13] <ikonia> hemza: no it's not !
[18:13] <ikonia> theredundant: then you don't need to be root, as the file is owned by you
[18:13] <theredundant> nah
[18:13] <theredundant> i did
[18:13] <theredundant> sudo -s
[18:13] <hemza> ikonia: usually passwords must be unreadable
[18:14] <theredundant> then created a file in /
[18:14] <hemza> ikonia: how?
[18:14] <kuttan_> hussain: apt-get -f install , do it twice or thrice
[18:14] <ikonia> hemza: they ARE unreadable, they are set in encyption, but as they are YOUR passwords, ubuntu knows YOUR key when you login
[18:14] <ikonia> hemza: no-one else on that machine can read them
[18:15] <aquifex> what is the best book on ubuntu?
[18:15] <theredundant> so yeap, how do i set permissions so the user logged in could just easily edit instead of using terminal
[18:15] <daytim3> when i attempt to register my nick it says that my email isnt valid but its from my isp any ideas
[18:15] <ikonia> aquifex: there isn't one, search aamazon
[18:15] <kuttan_> aquifex: !man
[18:15] <matthiaskrgr_> when I set cpu governor to 'powersave', frequency says at normal 1833 mhz  what can I do to reduce the frequency?
[18:15] <ikonia> theredundant: don't use sudo -s to create files
[18:15] <theredundant> but otherwise i wouldnt have access
[18:15] <ikonia> theredundant: then the permissions will always be the users
[18:15] <aquifex> no personal reccomendation :) ok
[18:15] <ikonia> theredundant: you should never create files in /
[18:15] <petriborg2> hi I've hooked my ubuntu box up to an HDTV and gotten it to display at 1920x1080, but it appears to be cutting off the top and bottom menu bars on the screen, anyone run into that before?
[18:15] <jeremyn> aquifex: https://help.ubuntu.com/
[18:16] <theredundant> well its in etc/apt/sources.files.d/
[18:16] <hemza> ok understand that.... so i must never open my session with a root password if it was in a collectif use
[18:16] <kuttan_> jeremyn: aquifex: https://help.ubuntu.com/
[18:16] <ikonia> hemza: you shouln't know the root password
[18:16] <ikonia> hemza: there is an unknown root password on ubuntu
[18:16] <ikonia> theredundant: what are you trying to edit
[18:16] <theredundant> i need to createa file
[18:16] <Luija1006> what was the name of the java plugin? sun-java-plugin?
[18:16] <ikonia> theredundant: why ?
[18:16] <theredundant> so i can compile an android build
[18:16] <theredundant> lol
[18:16] <theredundant> or install java
[18:16] <theredundant> im just following instructions
[18:16] <ikonia> theredundant: no you don't
[18:17] <aquifex> ok - i will read this THANKS
[18:17] <ikonia> theredundant: what instructions
[18:17] <theredundant> As root, create a new file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ named jaunty. Inside the file, add the following two lines:
[18:17] <matthiaskrgr_> when I set the cpu governor to 'powersave', frequency atays at normal 1833 mhz  what can I do to reduce the frequency?
[18:17] <ikonia> theredundant: can you please show me the URL you are following
[18:17] <theredundant> http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Getting_the_Source
[18:18] <theredundant> basically im trying to build a froyo (android)
[18:18] <ikonia> theredundant: ok - you're using 10.04 yes ?
[18:18] <sacarlson> theredundant:  sudo nautilus. then you can browse view edit any file on a system that you know the root password for
[18:18] <theredundant> yesssur
[18:18] <ikonia> theredundant: ok, so the line that says 10.04 does not support java 5 is not alarming to you
[18:18] <Tederian> Hello, I've a problem with the volume control. First of all, I removed the Ubuntu Netbook remix by removing GNOME (with purge) and the netbook launcher. After the reinstallation of GNOME, the volume control doesn't seem to be in the indication panel anymore.   Well, if you download the source code instead of doing a package manager, like, could you install whatever it is so that you don't need root permission?
[18:18] <theredundant> it does
[18:18] <ikonia> theredundant: that guide is telling you to add repo's from an old ubuntu version (totally unsupported with 10.04)
[18:19] <theredundant> but ive no clue what to do
[18:19] <theredundant> ahh
[18:19] <Steve^> The internets contain little information about wildcard subdomains in Ubuntu
[18:19] <hemza> ikonia: how i shouldn't know root password ... it is my machine
[18:19] <ikonia> theredundant: I would strongly advis eyou not to add that line if you want to keep your system usable
[18:19] <theredundant> okay
[18:19] <THE_GFR|WORK> when I type in a box sometimes, the item say a number and I try to put it in with the number pad it automatically highlights the contents.
[18:19] <theredundant> how do i proceed then
[18:19] <ikonia> hemza: because ubuntu does not tell you the root password, it uses the sudo model
[18:19] <THE_GFR|WORK> oops
[18:19] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a firefox question, when I type in a box sometimes, the item say a number and I try to put it in with the number pad it automatically highlights the contents.
[18:19] <ikonia> theredundant: no idea, but that guide is giving out dangerous information
[18:19] <theredundant> mkay
[18:20] <THE_GFR|WORK> how do I stop this annoying ass shit?
[18:20] <ikonia> THE_GFR|WORK: you need to control your language please
[18:20] <hemza> and if want to use ubuntu as an admin.
[18:20] <jeremyn> Tederian: gnome-volume-control-applet
[18:20] <Luija1006> what was the name of the java plugin? sun-java-plugin?
[18:20] <Luija1006> what was the name of the java plugin? sun-java-plugin?
[18:20] <ikonia> hemza: then you use sudo
[18:20] <ikonia> Luija1006: you start by not spamming the channel
[18:20] <THE_GFR|WORK> ikonia: sorry
[18:20] <theredundant> thanks btw
[18:20] <Tederian> jeremyn, thanks, I'll try that
[18:20] <ikonia> !sudo > hemza
[18:20] <ikonia> !root > hemza
[18:21] <coz_> THE_GFR|WORK,   actually ...since this is a family channel.. I believe you wanted to say  " how do I stop this annoying  caca" :)
[18:21] <sje46> THE_GFR|WORK, what box?  what item?
[18:21] <ikonia> hemza: check out the private messages ubottu just sent you
[18:21] <THE_GFR|WORK> sje46: any box with numbers but it can be text boxes too
[18:21] <Tederian> jeremyn, it says that it can't find the package
[18:21] <THE_GFR|WORK> sje46: does not matter usually
[18:21] <hemza> ok thnx
[18:21] <jeremyn> Tederian: i think it comes with gnome, try running that command from the command line
[18:21] <HaPK_PerCar> hai people
[18:21] <matthiaskrgr_> Hello. When I set the cpu governor to 'powersave', frequency atays at normal 1833 mhz  what can I do to reduce the frequency and save power?
[18:21] <sje46> I don't know...sorry THE_GFR|WORK
[18:22] <jeremyn> Tederian: i have it set up to run during startup (System > Preferences > Startup Applications)
[18:22] <Tederian> jeremyn, thank you, works, I _love_ you so much :D
[18:22] <daytim3> i have a hp dv6-2190us running ubuntu 10.04lts and i want to know how to get the built in cam to work with empathy or pidgin or any of the msn clients
[18:22] <jeremyn> Tederian: a little creepy but glad i could help
[18:22] <gizmobay> my printer won't stop printing. I select one copy and it just keeps pumping copy after copy out
[18:22] <sje46> hey, so my question...is it possible to install an application without using root?
[18:22] <HaPK_PerCar> I have a printing problem... recently I installe the whole kubuntu desktop package and since then I can't print! I'm using the HPLIP software for my D2660
[18:23] <cutiyar> how i can get driver for cannon lbp2900 printer?
[18:23] <Luija1006> what was the name of the java plugin, so I can search for it and install it, sun-java-plugin?
[18:23] <jeremyn> sje46: it depends on the application. you can, for example, compile something from source and execute it without needing root
[18:23] <sacarlson> sje46: yes you can compile your own aplication in your own space and run it
[18:23] <abhijit> hi
[18:23] <MaRk-I> Luija1006: just search for java6 or sun-java6
[18:24] <sje46> sacarlson, any application?
[18:24] <sacarlson> sje46: any application that doesn't need access to forbiden files and things
[18:24] <Tederian> bye folks!
[18:24] <cutiyar> how i can get driver for cannon lbp2900 printer??
[18:24] <aquifex> what is the optimal root partition size for ubuntu 10.04 ?
[18:24] <hussain> hey i am having problems with commands to install openjdk. any link to find any tar or tar.gz file to install openjdk and netbeans
[18:24] <HaPK_PerCar> !print
[18:24] <uBUTTtu> how do i view the permissions of a file and how do i change them in nautilus?
[18:25] <magicianlord> does CUPS even work?
[18:25] <sje46> thanks sacarlson
[18:25] <sacarlson> sje46: in fact you can run your own virtualbox and run anything in your space
[18:25] <uBUTTtu> i try to change them in nautilus even with gksudo but it switches them back right after
[18:25] <HaPK_PerCar> I have a printing problem... recently I installe the whole kubuntu desktop package and since then I can't print! I'm using the HPLIP software for my D2660
[18:26] <hussain> hey man help me to get link of open jdk
[18:26] <sacarlson> sje46: best to try things in virtualbox you can't break anything you can't delete and try again later
[18:26] <sje46> well, what if you use a webhost?
[18:26] <sje46> do they allow you to install applications?
[18:27] <sacarlson> sje46: webhost what is it?
[18:27] <coz_> hussain,  it should be in synaptic
[18:27] <sje46> dreamhost, sacarlson
[18:27] <sacarlson> sje46: does your account have access to what you need?
[18:27] <coz_> hussain,  do you have the partner repos enabled?
[18:27] <sje46> i have no idea, sacarlson
[18:27] <coz_> hussain,  actually the partner repos arnt necessary  I believe
[18:28] <sacarlson> sje46: if it's an internet thing and all you need is access to it then maybe
[18:28] <uBUTTtu> so chmod in terminal is telling me a file is 777 but nautilus is saying that user account only has read for 2 of them
[18:28] <abhijit> !java
[18:28] <jeremyn> sje46: if you want full access you might want to look into a virtual private server, through linode or slicehost or something
[18:28] <hussain> i don't know, coz_ terminal is giving me error: E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[18:28] <sje46> what do you mean, an internet thing, sacarlson ?
[18:28] <uBUTTtu> and it switches the permissions back if i try to change it in nautlius
[18:28] <sacarlson> sje46: you would need to be able to setup the nat to let people come in from the outside
[18:29] <ben_q> Hello, I have a problem: I installed ubuntu server 10.4 on a hdd using my notebook's hardware. now I put the hdd into the server-pc, but no ethernet is detected. the setup-cd does detect the adapters, but i don't want to reinstall everything. How can I detect the ethernet adapters now from the system?
[18:29] <sacarlson> sje46: something that needs internet access
[18:29] <coz_> hussain,   try  sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
[18:29] <AnxiousNut> does anybody know an addon for enlarging only text in firefox?
[18:29] <coz_> husimon,  or open synatic and hit search type in icedtea
[18:29] <jeremyn> AnxiousNut: i use Default Full Zoom Level
[18:29] <sje46> okay...thanks sacarlson
[18:30] <sacarlson> AnxiousNut:  just control +
[18:30] <coz_> hussain,  rather  that was for you   try  sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
[18:30] <hussain> k
[18:30] <coz_> hussain,  why do you want opne  jre?
[18:30] <uBUTTtu> this permissions thing in ubuntu is pissing me off
[18:30] <AnxiousNut> sacarlson, that also enlarges the pics and every thing else!
[18:30] <sacarlson> AnxiousNut: cntl + to make it biger cntl - to make it smaller
[18:30] <hussain> i wanna run applets
[18:30] <coz_> uBUTTtu,  which permissions thing>
[18:30] <sacarlson> AnxiousNut:  oh sorry no just the text
[18:30] <uBUTTtu> i cant copy a file to an sdcard without getting permission denied errors
[18:31] <kuttan_> AnxiousNut:  Nosquint plugin
[18:31] <sacarlson> AnxiousNut:  that's a good idea if they could do that
[18:31] <coz_> hussain,  which applets because open jre  icedtea will not run regular  java applications...at least in my expertience
[18:31] <coz_> hussain,  example  opnebravo
[18:31] <uBUTTtu> wouldnt let me copy /dev of a linux filesystem without going root and after that i had to chmod it recursively just to unlock them
[18:31] <coz_> hussain,  you definitly need sun java 6 for that
[18:31] <jeremyn> AnxiousNut: you could increase the default text size in firefox, without an addon, Edit > Preferences > Content
[18:32] <coz_> uBUTTtu,  did you just open nautilus as   sudo nautilus  ??
[18:32] <ben_q> is there a command to detect new ethernet adapters?
[18:32] <daytim3> why not use google chrom
[18:32] <daytim3> *chrome
[18:32] <uBUTTtu> yeah i did alt+f2 gksudo nautilus
[18:32] <hussain> i am reading java 2 ref book, so is this help me to run applet examples
[18:32] <AnxiousNut> jeremyn, nah im actually okay with english, but it's pretty small in arabic!
[18:32] <sacarlson> ben_q:  ifconfig
[18:32] <Israfel> Ok, I'm uninstalling something that's breaking the GUI.
[18:32] <coz_> uBUTTtu,  that should have worked but I generall do   sudo nautilus from terminal
[18:32] <gharz> guys, i have a bootable CD and i want to create an .iso out of it. how do i create it? please help
[18:33] <ben_q> sacarlson ifconfig doesn't show the ethernet adapters
[18:33] <sacarlson> ben_q:  why not?
[18:33] <sie> ben_q, lspci | grep eth
[18:33] <abhijit> !unetbootin | gharz
[18:33] <daytim3> iwconfig
[18:33] <abhijit> ahh
[18:33] <sie> ben_q, lspci | grep eth -i
[18:33] <sacarlson> ben_q:  you might need to be superuser
[18:33] <daytim3> open a terminal and type iwconfig
[18:33] <uBUTTtu> so if i sudo nautilus from the terminal, i should be able to go to a file, properties, permissions and change all to write?
[18:33] <coz_> gharz,  look here maybe  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6509
[18:33] <daytim3> it will show them
[18:34] <abhijit> gharz, sorry you can use brasero to make cd image
[18:34] <uBUTTtu> because when i do that now it switches it back without indicating why
[18:34] <hussain> coz_ jre not helping me, compile time errors.
[18:34] <gharz> abhijit: ok. thanks... coz_ thanks!
[18:34] <sacarlson> ben_q:  yes iwconfig will show new wifi stuf
[18:34] <gharz> i'll check this out
[18:34] <coz_> hussain,   mm  did you install it via synaptic???
[18:34] <uBUTTtu> ls
[18:34] <coz_> hussain,  try sudo apt-get install -f
[18:34] <daytim3> it shows lo eth0 wlan0 and if you have vmware or vitualbox it shows them as well
[18:34] <ben_q> sacarlson, sie, this doesn't show me anything. i have two adapters, both don't show
[18:34] <coz_> hussain,  then rerun the install
[18:35] <ben_q> i moved the hdd into a new hardware environment
[18:35] <sie> ben_q, Not even in `lspci`?
[18:35] <ben_q> no
[18:35] <sie> Then something's heavily messed up.
[18:35] <daytim3> coz_ do you know how to get a built in webcam to be able to use in any of the messenger clients?
[18:35] <AnxiousNut> kuttan_, thanks for no squint plugin :)
[18:35] <sacarlson> ben_q:  does sudo ifconfig show anything?
[18:36] <hussain> jre is already installed. and it is not compiling applets
[18:36] <sie> sacarlson, If it's not in lspci it won't be in ifconfig.
[18:36] <sacarlson> ben_q:  try lspci
[18:36] <ben_q> sacarlson, it only show's "lo"
[18:36] <coz_> AnxiousNut,  that one may be out of my base knowledge... did you test that the web cam actually works with some thing like camorama or cheese?
[18:36] <abhijit> hussain, try in ##java
[18:36] <jeremyn> hussain: i'm not a java expert but the jre is the runtime environment, don't you need a jdk to compile?
[18:36] <sacarlson> ben_q:  sie: I agree if no lspci it's broken
[18:36] <ben_q> sie, sacarlson,  lspci shows them, but not as "eth"-anything
[18:36] <sie> hmm
[18:36] <coz_> hussain,  no you need  sun-java6
[18:37] <daytim3> it works with cheese
[18:37] <daytim3> and with several others
[18:37] <ben_q> so how do i get them from lspci into ifconfig? ^^
[18:37] <daytim3> i cant get it to open in pidgin or empathy
[18:37] <sacarlson> ben_q:  so what do we see them as?
[18:37] <coz_> daytim3,   that may be empathy or pidgin  not being able to run the cam
[18:37] <hussain> yeah, i guess i need jdk. terminal suggesting me openjdk which is having some problems. but ok thanks buddy.
[18:38] <coz_> hussain,  well hold on...
[18:38] <coz_> hussain,  if you are going to use sun java  i would open synaptic package manager and type in  icedtea  and everything that shows up right click and remove completely./...then
[18:38] <strog_> hi
[18:38] <ben_q> sacarlson, "00:08.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation MCP55 Ethernet (rev a2)" and "01:08.0 Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL... (rev 10)"
[18:39] <uRock_> !hi > strog
[18:39] <mikeconcepts> need suggestion - want to create a boot usb of maverick netbook, tried the ubuntu startup disk as well as unetbootin, neither works for me
[18:39] <uRock_> !hi > strog_
[18:39] <uBUTTtu> if a file is set as read only on this ubuntu system will it be read only on any other system?
[18:39] <Guest84152> i wanted to know how to change the resolution of my screen, the resolutions that i want are not there
[18:39] <coz_> hussain,  make sure the partner repositories are enabled... reload... search  sun java  and look for sun-java6-pugin which will pull down most of what you need then look for the jdk  for sun java in the same list and install that
[18:39] <aicasn> mikeconcepts: try using the Windows method for creating usb startup disks
[18:39] <sacarlson> ben_q: are you sure you tried the sudo ifconfig?
[18:39] <mikeconcepts> aicasn: I tried that as well
[18:40] <aicasn> mikeconcepts: what was the problem?
[18:40] <ben_q> yes, sacarlson, it only shows "lo"
[18:40] <hussain> k, i am trying some tar files from net.
[18:40] <Guest84152> how do i change that?
[18:40] <ben_q> those ethernet adapters were not present on system installation
[18:40] <rlankfo> Guest84152: change what
[18:41] <sacarlson> ben_q: google it and see if that's suported it should be
[18:41] <rlankfo> Guest84152: nvm i scrolled up
[18:41] <coz_> Guest84152,  which video card ...out of curiosity?   in terminal   lspci | grep -i vga
[18:41] <Guest84152> 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation ION VGA (rev b1)
[18:41] <ben_q> sacarlson, the setup-cd detects them properly, but I don't want to re-install
[18:41] <uBUTTtu> if a file is set as read only on this ubuntu system will it be read only on any other system?
[18:41] <ben_q> so they are supported
[18:41] <coz_> Guest84152,  ok  then open a terminal and type   sudo nvidia-settings
[18:42] <sacarlson> ben_q: so if you boot from a live cd it works?
[18:42] <arthur> anyone know how i can get f-spot to see photos on iphone, ones in library not photo roll?
[18:42] <ben_q> yes
[18:42] <appi_uppi> Hi, could anyone please tell me , if there are any software available for word pronounciation?
[18:42] <coz_> Guest84152,  click "X SErver display configuration"
[18:42] <Guest84152> ok
[18:42] <ben_q> sacarlson, yes
[18:42] <mr_hai> i would like a larger screen resolution than ubuntu is allowing
[18:42] <coz_> Guest84152,   set your resolution there then click  "Save to x configuration file"
[18:42] <mr_hai> hoow do i do that
[18:42] <mr_hai> ?
[18:42] <mikeconcepts> aicasn: three different results, one just stops at syslinux, another fails to a prompt, another just stops at boot prompt, so I figured the download of A3 was bad, redownloaded from another mirror, same result
[18:42] <coz_> Guest84152,   then reboot  the system and see if it holds
[18:42] <uBUTTtu> how does the permissions work? will a file i do not have permissions to use on this system be useable on another system where i have root?
[18:42] <Igramul> If I want to execute some commands on boot, is /etc/rc.local the right place?
[18:42] <abhijit> !resolution
[18:43] <sacarlson> ben_q: yes I got that, well I Have no idea it should work you should see it, suprized no one here can help you
[18:43] <abhijit> !boot | Igramul
[18:43] <coz_> uBUTTtu,  how did the file lose permissions for your use?
[18:43] <uBUTTtu> never had them to begin with
[18:43] <mr_hai> i would like a larger screen resolution than ubuntu is allowing
[18:43] <uBUTTtu> it doesnt have full "777"
[18:43] <coz_> uBUTTtu,   ok did you chown the file?
[18:43] <uBUTTtu> im just wondering if i bring it to another system i am root on will it be full 777 for that?
[18:43] <uBUTTtu> yes and no
[18:44] <sacarlson> ben_q: you didn't modify your /etc/interfaces file did you?
[18:44] <uBUTTtu> right now im just wondering about my original question
[18:44] <coz_> uBUTTtu,  try   sudo chown -R  youname   nameof/file
[18:44] <abhijit> mr_hai, had you seen that link given by ubottu/
[18:44] <uBUTTtu> i know
[18:44] <Guest84152> coz_: i dont get any listing
[18:44] <ben_q> i did
[18:44] <mr_hai> no
[18:44] <uBUTTtu> im wondering, if i bring it to another system, will the root there have full 777?
[18:44] <coz_> Guest84152,  ok  in terminl try  nvidia-xconfig
[18:44] <Guest84152> of X SErver display configuration
[18:44] <mr_hai> yes
[18:44] <ben_q> sacarlson, i did with static ip
[18:44] <sacarlson> ben_q: opps /etc/network/interfaces file
[18:44] <mikeconcepts> aicasn: not a very good explanation I know, but does anyone know if this A3 of the maverick netbook is an actual live CD?
[18:45] <coz_> Guest84152,   then open  /etc/X11/xorg.conf and see if the changes took there
[18:45] <uBUTTtu> if a file does not have full permissions on one system for a user, will it by default have full permissions on another system?
[18:45] <uBUTTtu> if the other system is being run as root
[18:45] <gharz> coz_: i've tried using brasero but the format which is available when i try to create an image using disc copy is in a .toc format... how do i create a file with an .iso extension?
[18:45] <coz_> uBUTTtu,   not sure... i would have to see the file..what it consists of etc
[18:45] <ben_q> sacarlson, shall I remove the interfaces and reboot?
[18:45] <sacarlson> ben_q: ok did you keep a backup of what you had in there? /etc/network/interfaces
[18:45] <jeremyn> uBUTTtu: a system cannot be run as a user
[18:46] <uBUTTtu> let's say it's a .txt
[18:46] <aicasn> mikeconcepts:  mount with loop driver and see what happens
[18:46] <hemza> is it possible to get a graphical shred tool
[18:46] <Guest84152> coz_ neither apt-cache search nor the command is known
[18:46] <hussain> i don't have /etc/interfaces file
[18:46] <coz_> gharz,  see if this is the same link   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6509
[18:46] <sacarlson> hussain: I know I f**de up /etc/network/interfaces
[18:47] <mikeconcepts> aicasn: I will if I find the way, looking now
[18:47] <uBUTTtu> if im root on a system will a .txt which as a user i do not have full permissions to be full permissions as root on the other system?
[18:47] <ben_q> sacarlson, it was only "auto dhcp" before, but that was the other system
[18:47] <coz_> Guest84152,  did you install the nvidia driver and is it working??
[18:47] <ben_q> sacarlson, is there no way to reinstall the ethernet-controller from cdrom?
[18:47] <hussain> what does it work? interfaces file
[18:48] <sacarlson> ben_q: how about just sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[18:48] <uBUTTtu> i guess what im asking is: are permissions system specific for a given file?
[18:48] <Guest84152> well xubuntu asked for an update and told me that there are new drivers for my card and installed them also
[18:48] <benhur> am i connected?
[18:48] <coz_> uBUTTtu,  my guess  from one ubuntu machine to another  the same permissions
[18:48] <daytim3> why keep using sudo
[18:48] <Guest84152> restarted and now i have this high resolution
[18:48] <daytim3> if you have the shell open just use su
[18:48] <coz_> Guest84152,  is that what you wanted?
[18:48] <benhur> cananyonetell me pleas.. am i connected?
[18:48] <daytim3> and then type the commands so you dont have to keep entering the passwd
[18:48] <ben_q> sacarlson, "eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device"
[18:49] <ben_q> it's not listed as eth0 anywhere
[18:49] <Guest84152> coz_: the resolution can be higher
[18:49] <Guest84152> i know it is possible
[18:49] <uBUTTtu> welcome to ubuntu permissions hell
[18:49] <mxe5> Can't extract a 7zip file in 10.04 - Is there an app I can install that open and extract a 7zip file ? ?
[18:49] <Guest84152> 1024x1280
[18:49] <coz_> Guest84152,  and is a higher resolution availabe in nvidia-settings?
[18:49] <Guest84152> nothing shows there
[18:49] <Guest84152> there is no side tree
[18:49] <sacarlson> ben_q: ok I'm totaly out of ideas.  should be easy maybe if I didn't have 6 beers I could do this
[18:49] <benhur> hello? can you read my messages ?, please reply..
[18:49] <coz_> Guest84152,  no resolution options?
[18:49] <Guest84152> no i
[18:50] <Guest84152> guess i have to install the drivers from scratch
[18:50] <coz_> Guest84152,  open nvidia-settings again
[18:50] <daytim3> yes benhur
[18:50] <benhur> great
[18:50] <benhur> thanks
[18:50] <sacarlson> ben_q: 1500 brains here and can't figure this out?
[18:50] <coz_> Guest84152,   click "X server diso;ay configuration"   higlight the graphic of your monitor and click   "Resolution"
[18:50] <mxe5> Is there an app I can install that open a 7zip file in linux ? ?
[18:50] <hussain> does the java beans from java 2 reference book means today's netbeans?
[18:51] <coz_> mxe5,    p7zip
[18:51] <ben_q> sacarlson, i don't know how many people are reading my messages :)
[18:51] <ben_q> sacarlson, but thanks for your effort :)
[18:51] <sacarlson> ben_q: well there are 1503 people monitoring
[18:51] <mxe5> coz_: Thanks will give a try.
[18:52] <hussain> anybody answer me: does the java beans from java 2 reference book means today's netbeans?
[18:52] <jeremyn> hussain: i think you would be happier asking that in ##java
[18:52] <ben_q> is there a place where "eth0" is mapped to the hardware address? i mean, i find the adapters in lspci
[18:52] <hussain> what is ##java
[18:52] <jeremyn> hussain: the channel for java questions, like this is the channel for ubuntu questions
[18:52] <collabra> hussain: type /join ##java
[18:53] <hussain> ok, gotcha. thanx
[18:53] <llutz> ben_q: look at  /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[18:53] <coz_> mxe5,  however  p7zip uses way too much cpu for my tastes
[18:53] <ani__> how can i change cursor via command ?.... i am on openbox http://imagebin.org/108464
[18:54] <ani__> my cursor is too big ^_^
[18:54] <mxe5> coz_: That did the trick for now - Thanks
[18:54] <coz_> mxe5,   no problem
[18:55] <Guest84152> coz_:xubuntu doesn't has the nvidia-xconfig package
[18:55] <hussain> is there any irc channel for ##java
[18:55] <Guest84152> and it isnt installed on my machine
[18:55] <mxe5> coz_: Had a .iso file that was wrapped up in a 7zip format, got it extracted now.
[18:56] <ben_q> llutz, thanks that helped
[18:56] <collabra> hussain: just type   /join ##java     and you will be there.
[18:57] <coz_> Guest84152,  ooooo ok  did you check in #xubuntu or  #xfce channels?
[18:57] <ben_q> sacarlson, there are eth0 through eth4 in that net-rules-file. and "eth1 up" and "eth4 up" worked :D seems i found my missing adapters :)
[18:57] <ben_q> sacarlson, llutz, sie thanks a lot :)
[18:57] <Guest84152> :/ i didnt notice either
[18:58] <sacarlson> ben_q: no problem that's what we are here for, but sorry I wasn't the solution
[18:58] <Sandje> hello, anybody  can tell me if you mount /mnt and /mnt/boot you get the same things but in /mnt/boot you should see the kernel for example config-2.6.31-10-generic but i dont have it

[19:00] <sacarlson> Sandje: well you mounted some partition that should have /mnt/boot in it but it's not there?
[19:01] <hussain> oops. no.
[19:01] <JPeterson> I only get the message You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Movies".
[19:01] <Sandje> i think so sacarlson
[19:01] <JPeterson> and no prompt for password
[19:01] <collabra> hussain: are you on FreeNode ...

[19:03] <sacarlson> Sandje: sounds good
[19:03] <Sandje> then i did "ls /mnt

[19:07] <carlos_> ok
[19:07] <coafcv> hi. just before my login screen came up I saw a text message about a file in /tmp/ that could not be accessed (permission denied) or something. in which logs can I see this message again and should I worry about that?
[19:07] <carlos_> thank you
[19:07] <sacarlson> Sandje:  can you boot your live ubuntu cd?
[19:07] <Sandje> otherwise i coudnt re-configure it
[19:07] <F2Knight> Anyone with WebDAV experience?
[19:07] <Sandje> yes sir

[19:08] <JPeterson> to windows shares
[19:09] <sacarlson> Sandje:  ok well I see a problem that I'm not used to playing with your ubuntu is not on your sda drive
[19:09] <iceroot> JPeterson: smbclient if you question was how to access a windows-share on the command line

[19:09] <Sandje> i can print my fdisk if u want
[19:09] <JPeterson> i don't get a login prompt
[19:09] <sacarlson> Sandje:  it's not imposible to configure grub to boot from there

[19:10] <JPeterson> iceroot: I enter smb://dell1/m/Movies, I get the message You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "Movies".
[19:10] <JPeterson> no password prompt
[19:10] <sacarlson> Sandje:  it must be lucid
[19:10] <Sandje> actualy its ultimate editon 2.7 but its based on ubuntu 10.04
[19:11] <xangua> !ultimate | Sandje
[19:11] <sacarlson> Sandje:  I asume you didn't override and make it boot with the old grub and now uses grub2
[19:12] <hussain> bored of the down speed...10kbps
[19:12] <Sandje> i didnt change it yet, i reinstalled it, and when i rebooted without cd i directly went to winblowz
[19:12] <ikonia> Sandje: 1.) it's not supported here, please take it ultimate edition support resources 2.) it's called "windows"
[19:13] <sacarlson> Sandje:  well I think you can just boot the live cd and reinstall grub
[19:13] <Sandje> lol ikonia
[19:13] <sacarlson> Sandje:  oh your running on it now
[19:13] <ikonia> Sandje: ultimate edition is not supported here, please stop discussing it
[19:13] <JPeterson> iceroot or anyone: is it possible to access a windows share that doesn't have permission for Everyone?
[19:13] <Sandje> yes sir
[19:13] <cinnabarisland12> hi, whenever I log in to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS I get a message saying my battery may be old or broken, how do I disable this?
[19:13] <ikonia> sacarlson: that goes for you too
[19:14] <MXIIA> anyone freezing in 10.04?
[19:14] <xangua> cinnabarisland12: buying a new battery
[19:14] <punkmexic> i have  .rar file inside that file theres a file called Wushu espa¤ol.srt and i want to rename ite to wushu españo.srt but i cant, and i cant uncompress it, it acts like it uncrompress it but it doesnt do it...how can i solve this?
[19:14] <xangua> !anyone > MXIIA
[19:14] <cinnabarisland12> xangua: no can do, have looked everywhere for one
[19:14] <Sandje> uhm ikonia its ubuntu 10.04 but with more packages installed thats all
[19:14] <jeremyn> xangua: cinnabarisland12: or, remove the battery and run on AC
[19:14] <ikonia> Sandje: it's not supported
[19:15] <cinnabarisland12> jeremyn: is that it?
[19:15] <Sandje> thx anyway for the help sacarlson
[19:15] <sacarlson> Sandje:  no problem I'll go private see my private mesage
[19:15] <MXIIA> Why does 10.04 freeze so often?
[19:15] <ikonia> sacarlson: good call, thank you
[19:15] <jeremyn> cinnabarisland12: probably not
[19:15] <DanThirst> samba channel ?
[19:16] <ikonia> DanThirst: what about it
[19:16] <cinnabarisland12> jeremyn: nothing in gconf-editor for power manager?
[19:16] <DanThirst> what is it :p
[19:16] <ikonia> DanThirst: we are not a directory service, check the freenode website on how to use the network
[19:16] <[thor]> MXIIA: i have no noticed any freezing, are you running any panel, window manager, or interface applications that were not included with the ubuntu package?
[19:16] <MXIIA> why does 10.04 freeze so often?
[19:16] <ikonia> DanThirst: www.freenode.net
[19:16] <codebrainz> hi.  update manager wanted to do some updates yesterday so i let it, but it's been a whole day and it's stuck on "Unpacking replacement base-files..." and it asks when i try to close it am i sure i want to cancel and leave my system broken.  any ideas?
[19:16] <ikonia> MXIIA: you've asked many times, no-one is answering because it doesn't
[19:16] <jeremyn> cinnabarisland12: try disabling the power manager in system > preferences > startup applications
[19:16] <ikonia> MXIIA: if the most common cause for a hardware lockup is a hardware error
[19:16] <jeremyn> cinnabarisland12: i'm just guessing though
[19:17] <qfluid> Hi, I recently installed support for Chinese in a computer, but I don't intend to use it as default, but now when I run apt-get, the output is actually in Chinese. I can do LANGUAGE="" apt-get, which would give me back English...
[19:17] <MXIIA> It freezes quite often for me 9.10 was fine, 10.04 freezes almost 2 times a day though
[19:17] <qfluid> but LANGUAGE="en_US:zh_CN:zh_TW:zh_HK:en", so why do Ubuntu pick out a language in the middle of this list?
[19:17] <[thor]> MXIIA: what is freezing though? the gui, the panels, the desktop?
[19:17] <MXIIA> the entire thing, screen goes blank/orange and nothing works
[19:18] <[thor]> MXIIA: does it let you switch to other tty ?
[19:18] <xangua> MXIIA: do you have any more details¿¿ 'it freezes' is not really helpfull
[19:18] <coafcv> hi. just before my login screen came up I saw a text message about a file in /tmp/ that could not be accessed (permission denied) or something. in which logs can I see this message again and should I worry about that?
[19:18] <MXIIA> what other details do you need?
[19:18] <MXIIA> dmesg is just filled with "00 00" after every freeze
[19:18] <jeremyn> coafcv: logs are usually in /var/log. /var/log/messages is the big one
[19:19] <DanThirst> ugh, 10.04 messed up my samba
[19:19] <abhijit> hi.
[19:19] <sidharth> hi
[19:19] <sidharth> hows everybody
[19:19] <ilon> angry, you?
[19:19] <MXIIA> annoyed, you?
[19:19] <abhijit> :/
[19:20] <sidharth> :/
[19:20] <DanThirst> yeah and what was up with that theme change who's great fanboy idea was that ......
[19:20] <coafcv> jeremyn: thanks for the hint, but /var/log/messages does not include the message I saw, I just looked. is there any specific place where boot messages (those you sometimes see while ubuntu is starting) are written to?
[19:20]  * abhijit is feeling weak today.
[19:20] <ilon> cant get my darn cryptsetup partitions to be mounted
[19:21] <abhijit> !pm | kuttan_
[19:21] <jeremyn> coafcv: boot.log? if you remember any key phrases from the error, you could do a grep through /var/log
[19:21] <sidharth> guys does anybody know where to find the entire GTK+ documentation.
[19:22] <codebrainz> sidharth, yes, http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/
[19:22] <codebrainz> or in DevHelp program on your computer
[19:22] <sidharth> thanx a lot codebrainz
[19:23] <hussain> abhijit a m?
[19:23] <coafcv> jeremyn: I found it! thanks.
[19:23] <coafcv> should I worry about this: gdm/:0.log:Exec failed for command "/tmp/firegl1.isse.1f607160.4c5d9bfa.0001d384" (Permission denied)
[19:23] <sidharth> So GTK interface supports a java backend.
[19:23] <abhijit> hussain, yes? whats your question?
[19:24] <sidharth> I mean does GTK+ interface support java backend?
[19:24] <jeremyn> coafcv: well......in theory, you should be able to purge /tmp at any time without a problem. so you could try deleting everything in /tmp and seeing if the problem happens again. obviously you should be careful
[19:24] <hussain> sir, does the java beans from java 2 reference book means today's netbeans?
[19:24] <jeremyn> hussain: ##java folks weren't helpful on that?
[19:24] <coafcv> jeremyn: right, but I was more worried about it being a trojan or something. or is it normal for stuff to be executed from /tmp during boot up?
[19:24] <abhijit> hussain, ask in ##java
[19:25] <aquifex> i have a question about 10.04. on my machine installation from cd in standard mode was not possible because of errors: only installation from live cd was fine. is this normal?
[19:25] <hussain> should I type    /join ##java         on this prompt?
[19:25] <sidharth> Does GTK+ UI supports java backend?
[19:25] <codebrainz> sidharth, there are Gtk+ bindings for a lot of languages out there, must be a Java one too I'm sure
[19:25] <abhijit> hussain, yes.
[19:25] <sidharth> thanx bro.
[19:26] <MXIIA> !anyone > sidharth
[19:26] <jeremyn> coafcv: i dunno
[19:26] <kuttan_> ubottu: k thx
[19:26] <jeremyn> coafcv: seems kinda odd but i don't know
[19:27] <coafcv> jeremyn: okay, thanks though
[19:27] <hussain> how can i know that I have joined ##java . the tab is not coming.
[19:27] <jeremyn> coafcv: firegl has to do with ati graphics cards
[19:27] <abhijit> hussain, which irc client you are using?
[19:27] <MXIIA> !sudo > mxiia
[19:27] <sidharth> well ubottu I am new to IRC so could u tell me how to see ur private message.
[19:27] <hussain> xchat
[19:27] <saby> sidharth, xchat is a good and free to use client :)
[19:27] <collabra> hussain: can you list the room available,... then join ##java from there?
[19:27] <abhijit> sidharth, there will be a tab or tree name called ubottu
[19:28] <haresh> Hello want.to ask how long will it take a usb to load the setup
[19:28] <collabra> rooms
[19:28] <MXIIA> !flooding > ubottu
[19:28] <abhijit> hussain, you can see them on top right corner
[19:28] <Artel> Helppp! My sound is acting up!
[19:28] <pjs_> hi, for some reason I can't start emacs23 from the application menu in the panel and it gives no error message, although it does start from a terminal. Can anyone suggest what might be wrong?
[19:28] <abhijit> !sound | Artel
[19:28] <sidharth> good one ubottu
[19:28] <Artel> When I click on System - Preferences - Sound, a dialog opens up that says "waiting for sound system to respond..." and it gets stuck there.
[19:28] <abhijit> sidharth, ubottu is bot.
[19:28] <abhijit> !bot | sidharth
[19:28] <Artel> The volume applet also mysteriously disappeared
[19:28] <Artel> but, I can still hear sound

[19:30] <sidharth> Well abhijeet technology never ceases to surprise me.
[19:30] <MXIIA> !hello > abhijit
[19:30] <rationalOgre> pjs: emacs is a console program unless you got a graphical version.
[19:30] <noren> im using  nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600 GT] (rev a1), how can i change from nouveau to vesa driver
[19:30] <haresh> Anyhelp I am using a usb to install ubuntu
[19:30] <abhijit> IdleOne, you there?
[19:30] <JPeterson> I have set the right windows username and I still get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[19:30] <IdleOne> MXIIA: please stop doing that
[19:30] <noren> haresh: whats the question
[19:31] <MXIIA> !wtf > IdleOne
[19:31] <jeremyn> pjs_: right click on "Applications", edit menus, then go to the emacs application and see what the actual command being executed is. does that command start from the terminal?
[19:31] <IdleOne> !botabuse > MXIIA
[19:31] <hussain> there is no ##java in network list. sir. can you give details. I am reading java2 ref book. is java swing related to netbeans.
[19:31] <haresh> How long.will.it take to loaf the files using.my usb
[19:31] <abhijit> hussain, there is. i can join it.
[19:31] <aquifex> @noren there should be one in synaptic?
[19:31] <abhijit> hussain, type /join #java
[19:31] <jeremyn> hussain: there are currently 367 people in ##java
[19:31] <collabra> hussain: me too.
[19:31] <rationalOgre> JPeterson: Fiddling with Samba?
[19:32] <c3l> #java is invite only
[19:32] <JPeterson> rationalOgre: yes nautilus is the problem
[19:32] <noren> haresh: #512 connection will take one hour
[19:32] <MXIIA> !who > idleone
[19:32] <JPeterson> the correct command is smbclient \\\\dell1\\M -U John <password>
[19:32] <JPeterson> but nautilus gives me no password prompt
[19:32] <Artel> Does anyone have an alternative to pulseaudio that I can install?
[19:32] <Artel> I need to change my system volume
[19:32] <haresh> I am on a 6 mbps
[19:33] <rationalOgre> JPeterson: Are you sure you've got it set to the same workgroup? I had that problem once.
[19:33] <hussain> says, invite only.
[19:33] <JPeterson> I have set the right Windows Username, ie -U, for the user that I run Nautilus with
[19:33] <Artel> Anyone?
[19:33] <hussain> can't join.
[19:33] <collabra> hussain: have you registered your nick?
[19:33] <abhijit> hussain, in my case it automatically redirects me to ##java.
[19:33] <Artel> Pulseaudio conflicts with some of my programs, so I uninstalled it. Now I can't change the volume. Wat do?
[19:33] <sacarlson> Artel:  aumix can change your volume not sure that's what you want
[19:33] <JPeterson> rationalOgre: no I'm accessing a windows share from ubuntu
[19:33] <rationalOgre> Artel: You can shut off pulseaudio and use ALSA directly. There's tons of info out there about it.
[19:33] <noren> haresh: should not take more than half an hour
[19:34] <Jordan_U> Artel: What programs?
[19:34] <Artel> Rhythmbox
[19:34] <JPeterson> nautilus has to use "-U John <password>" or get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[19:34] <haresh> K and how.much space.dose it take
[19:34] <Artel> Instead of playing music, it plays weird noise
[19:34] <abhijit> hussain, that channel require that you must have registered nick.
[19:34] <plouffe> Where can I get support for s-video issues. I am trying to connect my computer to a tv.
[19:34] <Artel> actually, when I run it, my entire system plays weird noise instead of sound.
[19:34] <JPeterson> but it prefers to not use "-U John <password>" and instead get NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[19:34] <Jordan_U> Artel: Thythmbox works fine with pulseaudio, what problem are you actually seeing?
[19:34] <elitexray> Geez, I can't even play yahoo chess on linux :/
[19:34] <JPeterson> I want it t use "-U John <password>"
[19:34] <noren> haresh: depen what all pack u are installing
[19:34] <abhijit> !register | hussain
[19:35] <rationalOgre> JPeterson: I kinda figured. That was my issue doing the same thing.  However, when i switch on my xp laptop, it runs fine.
[19:35] <IdleOne> !language | plouffe
[19:35] <haresh> A normal.installion.how much space
[19:35] <noren> Artel: install alsa-utils ans alsa-oss and then use alsamixer
[19:35] <jeremyn> Artel: gnome-volume-control-applet
[19:36] <elitexray> plouffe -- So I need to install sun java and it'll work?
[19:36] <plouffe> elitexray, it did for me, uninstall the icedtea stuff first, try a google search about that
[19:36] <JPeterson> rationalOgre: can you explain? you mean in system /administration > samba -> server settings?
[19:36] <DGM> my sound randomly desided to stop working.. whenever i try to play something it just hangs
[19:37] <DGM> when i select the other onboard card it starts playing again
[19:37] <plouffe> elitexray, I play yahoo games, no problems
[19:37] <elitexray> And I supposed you had disconnection problem with games on yahoo ?
[19:37] <noren> haresh: are u sing the usb just to boot and install and doing a full install on usb
[19:37] <plouffe> elitexray, I couldn't even start it and it blocked my CPUs with 200%

[19:38] <JPeterson> ok I had to write smb://John@dell1/m/Movies in nautilus
[19:38] <JPeterson> it ignored the smbpasswd -U setting for my user

[19:40] <haresh> K

[19:45] <mango_make> can anybody tel me wtf keeps tarshing my /etc/network/interfaces file? i have found various comment sbaout it being network amanger pr avahi, but i have removed both and it still keeps getting overwritten. Have also tried the kernel cmd line STATICIP thing but that isnt helping either
[19:46] <Jordan_U> mango_make: In what way is it being modified?
[19:46] <DGM> mango_make: you could just chmodding and disallow writing
[19:46] <sacarlson> mango_make: I have never seen that hapen before but I just installed version 10.04
[19:47] <mango_make> Jordan - i set a mac address after "hardware ether" - and after a reboot or two its gone back to how it was
[19:47] <noren> magicianlord: try Ubuntu Mini Remix 10.04
[19:47] <sacarlson> mango_make: I think I kill the networkmanager
[19:47] <mango_make> my hardware has no "built in" mac address so i have to specify it
[19:47] <xangua> noren: mini¿¿
[19:47] <sacarlson> mango_make: I just run static and it was causing problems
[19:48] <magicianlord> noren: Mini remix?
[19:48] <pjs_> hi, does anyone know where error messages would be sent when an application is started from the panel and then dies?
[19:48] <tripelb-liveCD> to begin with. I am on 10.04,liveCD,irssi (which is new to me) and I want to know if there is a way I can look at the backscroll. (there is not a slider on the right??)
[19:48] <mango_make> ill try making it read-only - hipefully that'll do the trick
[19:48] <sacarlson> pjs_: probly /var/logs
[19:49] <noren> xangua: magicianlord : check this out http://ubuntu-mini-remix.crealabs.it/
[19:49] <magicianlord> tripelb-liveCD: page up and down buttons
[19:49] <magicianlord> noren: is that for tablets? i'm in cli, so i cant click that link
[19:49] <sacarlson> pjs_: there are many files there depending on the aplication /var/log/system if it's bad
[19:50] <ganesh> hi all
[19:50] <sacarlson> pjs_: ops and that would be /var/log/syslog
[19:50] <tripelb-liveCD> I have a Dell-IDE-AGP computer and I just put in a new SATA drive into the SATA ports on the m'board. Ubuntu does not see the drive. I did turn on SATA on the BIOS, to the only available chaoice beside off, AUTO. What could be wrong
[19:50] <noren> magicianlord: Ubuntu Mini Remix is a fully working Ubuntu livecd containing only the minimal set of software to make the system work Ubuntu Mini Remix ISO image is only 155MB.
[19:51] <Arsin> Can anyone help me setup Catalsyt 10.7b - 9.10
[19:51] <tripelb-liveCD> magicianlord: TY. That's better now.
[19:51] <Arsin> I'm using 9.10*
[19:51] <pjs_> sacarlson: my problem is emacs23 dying on startup, but only if I try it from the panel, I can't see anythiing relevant in /var/log/syslog :(
[19:51] <sacarlson> tripelb-liveCD:  lspci you don't see it?
[19:52] <sacarlson> tripelb-liveCD:  or maybe mount
[19:52] <tripelb-liveCD> sacarlson: I'll look. (didnt think only used GUI, facepalm)
[19:53] <Bop> anyone with logitech webcam express on 10.04 ?
[19:53] <sacarlson> tripelb-liveCD:  opps that would be fdisk -l
[19:53] <uRock_> !webcam > Bop
[19:54] <ZykoticK9> tripelb-liveCD, actually you need to use "sudo fdisk -l" to actually see any results
[19:54] <BluesKaj> !dsd
[19:55] <mango_make> making /etc/network/interfaces readonly has just made it hang at boot!
[19:55] <Bop> uRock_, there is no tutorial for 10.04
[19:55] <sacarlson>  pjs_: what did you do compile it yourself
[19:55] <ZykoticK9> Bop, does your camera work in "cheese"?
[19:55] <Bop> no
[19:56] <kuttan_> ZykoticK9: It works fine for me
[19:56] <coz_> Bop,   dont get too frustrated about the camera if its a web cam ... it worked in dapper for me and then never again until lucid :(
[19:56] <ZykoticK9> kuttan_, what does?
[19:57] <tripelb-liveCD> sacarlson: lspci shows no SATA, oh zkotick9 ok I'll do fdisk -l
[19:57] <Bop> im asking this guy the kernel module lsmod | grep -i gspca and the noob doesnt show me
[19:57] <pjs_> sacarlson: no, it's the plain one from apt-get
[19:57] <kuttan_> ZykoticK9: webcam same make as Bop
[19:57] <ZykoticK9> kuttan_, ahh
[19:57] <sacarlson> pjs_: some kind of editor?
[19:58] <coz_> Bop,  lsmod | grep -i gspca doesnt show up in my terminal
[19:58] <Bop> coz_, because u aint using that webcam , kuttan_ says its got one
[19:58] <Bop> so i need him to show me
[19:58] <sacarlson> pjs_: did you run it from a terminal I see error there that can't be seen when ran as a gui
[19:58] <coz_> Bop,   oh  I see ok understood
[19:59] <ilon> is there any way of making cryptsetup be more verbose on the output, i think i'm having a problem with cryptsetup not unlocking the device properly, thus reporting it does.
[19:59] <Bop> but as he's stupid , is making a big confusion out of it , 1 second would be enough
[19:59] <Bop> and im losing time
[19:59] <coz_> Bop,   well support is mainly paitience... is like being a teacher  same stuff said every year :)
[20:00] <Bop> dude , he's a troll
[20:00] <Bop> he says he got and he doesnt show nothing ?
[20:00] <Bop> troll 4 me
[20:00] <kuttan_> Bop: so kind of you to make that conclusion. Despite the fact that I have webcam working and you are not able to do so
[20:00] <pjs_> sacarlson, yes, it runs from the terminal successfully (though it spams an error about (emacs23:2620): CRITICAL **: murrine_style_draw_box: assertion `height >= -1' failed), but when I click the launcher in the application menu it silently dies
[20:00] <coz_> Bop,  maybe he needs to be guided step by step ... yes?
[20:00] <mango_make> k, so the file had ogtton corrupeted, fixed it , but its just been overwrtten again!
[20:01] <mango_make> (whist set read-only)
[20:01] <Bop> ok , guided step : open terminal , run lsmod |grep -i gspca ; pm me with outputed message
[20:01] <sacarlson> pjs_: sounds broken maybe look at ppa see if they have a newer one
[20:01] <coz_> or go to pastebin.com and paste the message there for all to see:)
[20:02] <Bop> kuttan_, ok , guided step : open terminal , run lsmod |grep -i gspca ; pm me with outputed message
[20:04] <kuttan_>  Bop: sorry mate since you have already arrived at a view point . am sure you will be the guiding star henceforth ..Gudluck mate
[20:04] <Bop> sure troll lier
[20:04] <Bop> i will
[20:05] <IdleOne> Bop: Please stop name calling and consider changing your attitude
[20:05] <Bop> what about kuttan_ atitude ? do u see he's might be point me in wrong direction , making me install crap i dont need because he cant run one single command ?
[20:06] <Bop> IdleOne, ^
[20:06] <IdleOne> Bop: he can't MAKE you install anything, he offered a solution and it may or may not have helped.
[20:07] <kuttan_> Bop:  Thx mate , ignore pls
[20:07] <IdleOne> kuttan_: please stop
[20:07] <Bop> IdleOne, whaT solution did he offered ? saying he's using , and not showing any info about it ?
[20:07] <IdleOne> Bop: he said when he upgraded to Lucid it started working
[20:08] <IdleOne> Bop: that means he didn't do anything but install a newer version of ubuntu which now supports the cam
[20:08] <kuttan_> IdleOne: Bop: K I offered to be of assistance , as it happens that I have same webcam . Now I request - Ignore me. rather than calling me names
[20:09] <Bop> IdleOne, no , that's what c0z_ told ... but he's out of equation as he doesnt either have that webcam
[20:09] <matrix> hello

[20:23] <|ntegra|> oh? how'd you go with the drivers there?
[20:24] <slidinghorn> suprengr, they're both gui front ends for the same application (iptables) -- it's simply a matter of preference when it comes to which one to use :)
[20:24] <|ntegra|> noren do you like wicd better? (I noticed it's only 39 k)
[20:24] <noren> |ntegra|: both are fine with me, i had initially updaeted with wired connection
[20:24] <makson> any chroot dudes around... looking to setup ssh, im a bit confused. :\
[20:25] <swj0809> ifconfig gives me a bunch of information, what in particular are you looking for?
[20:25] <sacarlson> makson:  I have no idea why you need chroot for ssh
[20:25] <BluesKaj> makson, why chroot ?
[20:25] <swj0809> i typed in sudo apt-get install wicd but it couldn't find the package
[20:25] <noren> |ntegra|: my system after bootup takes only 35 mb of ram and it hardly goes above 130mb during my work
[20:25] <|ntegra|> nicenice, fluxbox is looking pretty cool these days with the transparency and (i found the!!) wbar/idesk
[20:26] <slidinghorn> swj0809, paste your outputs to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[20:26] <|ntegra|> oh loverly
[20:26] <ilon> anyone care for spending some time on helping me with cryptsetup? i have a volume that dosnt seems to get unlocket properly, even tho cryptsetup says it is

[20:26] <swj0809> i don't have internet access on my laptop with ubuntu
[20:26] <makson> sacarlson: BluesKaj I have a VPS and i'm having a few buddies log in and use IRSSI i want them to be put into chrooted env
[20:26] <|ntegra|> I'm on puppy -> 10.04 turned into abitova hog 4me
[20:26] <swj0809> i'm using my windows computer now
[20:26] <suprengr> slidinghorn: cheers & thanks
[20:27] <swj0809> and going back and forth
[20:27] <Humle> swj0809, what laptop make and model is it?

[20:27] <|ntegra|> night
[20:27] <|ntegra|> morning
[20:27] <swj0809> hp pavilion dv9005us
[20:27] <makson> sacarlson: BluesKaj Looks like there is a line that goes in shhd_config called chrootdirectory that puts them in the ehrooted env when they ssh in, but it's not working
[20:27] <BluesKaj> swj0809, open your package manager and enable canonical partners and other sources in 'sources'
[20:27] <|ntegra|> "night all"
[20:27] <noren> |ntegra|: ahh puppy i got that one on my sd card for emergnecy purpose, bit i still uses that a lot
[20:27] <swj0809> package manager won't open
[20:27] <cHeLo77> ----> swj0809: If you can se in the output wlan0 or wlan1 then driver is loaded
[20:28] <sacarlson> makson:  wow I never used that
[20:28] <BluesKaj> makson, are you ssh-ing into an encypted drive?
[20:28] <sacarlson> makson:  so they are all ssh clients?
[20:28] <noren> well any one here know how to switch from nouveau (default) to vesa driver
[20:28] <|ntegra|> thanx noren , oh yeah cool, I'd love to learn to use only ncurses etc soon and then dr web (assembly!!) virii scan >only if I'm fast enough that is<
[20:29] <Chiggins> Hey, how can I get my audio working with Virtual Box?
[20:29] <|ntegra|> k "night all"
[20:29] <swj0809> i cannot see wlan0 or wlan 1
[20:29] <Humle> swj0809, try googling BCM94311MCG
[20:29] <sacarlson> swj0809:  try  sudo iwconfig
[20:30] <noren> swj0809: ifconfig

[20:31] <ActionParsnip> hey guys
[20:31] <BluesKaj> hi ActionParsnip
[20:31] <noren> ah yes
[20:31] <noren> hi ActionParsnip
[20:32] <duffydack> swj0809, what driver are you using
[20:32] <noren> well any one here know how to switch from nouveau (default) to vesa driver
[20:32] <sacarlson> Chiggins: I think you have to give it the privlige to use sound.  I have used it but it's not smoth
[20:32] <swj0809> not sure, but it worked with windows
[20:32] <Jordan_U> swj0809: Copy these files over to Ubuntu (with a flash drive, or by accessing the files from your windows partition) http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz
[20:33] <duffydack> swj0809, personally,  my bcm43 card works best with the sta driver, which uses eth1
[20:33] <Jordan_U> swj0809: To make the instructions easier copy them to your Desktop.
[20:33] <Chiggins> sacarlson, i'm just looking to use guitar pro on windows, so the sound doesnt have to be perfect
[20:33] <duffydack> swj0809, which is in the hardware driver tool
[20:33] <marenostrum> Hello. When I attempt to connect www.ubuntu.com, the browser tries to connect 066-eov-335.mktoresp.com but can not. Do you know what is it?
[20:33] <swj0809> do i need to buy a new wireless card?
[20:34] <SomeoneE1se> is there a way to ask for hostnames?  I'm trying to connect to another box via a hostname but half the time I get a DNS error.
[20:34] <plunder> anyone have experience with usb mouse randomly reconnecting all the time?
[20:34] <sacarlson> Chiggins: I have played with my guitar on linux with some success but now the linux-rt is broken for m
[20:34] <plunder> in 10.04
[20:34] <cHeLo77> ------> swj0809:  Just read this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=343632 it maybe helps you
[20:35] <sacarlson> Chiggins: I had all kinds of cool effect that had very small latency
[20:35] <Chiggins> sacarlson, using guitar pro?
[20:35] <Jordan_U> swj0809: Then in Ubuntu open a terminal and run "sudo tar -xf Desktop/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware; sudo tar -xf Desktop/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware"
[20:35] <plunder> wow annoying when ubuntu disconnects my mouse every 30 seconds :|
[20:35] <Jordan_U> swj0809: After that either reboot or run "sudo modprobe b43" and you should have working wireless.
[20:35] <sacarlson> Chiggins: but that was working back in ubuntu 8.04 and  I can't even get it to work there anymore
[20:36] <xxx_ooo_xxx>  I wish to manually set the placement geometry for all applications...is that possible?
[20:36] <duffydack> xxx_ooo_xxx, devilspie or compiz place window plugin.
[20:36] <Israfel> On the desktop or the menu?
[20:36] <Chiggins> sacarlson, i think im going to just try out tuxguitar for ubuntum hopefully that will work well for me and allow opening of gp3 files
[20:37] <xxx_ooo_xxx> duffydack, no way to do it without installing something like that?
[20:37] <sacarlson> Chiggins: no not gutar pro just ladspa the free sound effects lib
[20:37] <duffydack> xxx_ooo_xxx, some apps remember their placement.
[20:37] <xxx_ooo_xxx> yeah i noticed ff3 does
[20:38] <duffydack> xxx_ooo_xxx, for those that dont, use devilspie or if you are using compiz its in the settings tool
[20:38] <swj0809> so i should install the files, type the text into a terminal, reboot, and type "sudo modprobe b43" into a terminal?
[20:38] <Jordan_U> swj0809: The directions I gave will work if you have a broadcom card. Looking back I see that it was Humle that mentioned a broadcom card and not you, so my directions may not apply (but won't hurt anything either way and may work).
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> swj0809: if you put b43 into /etc/modules   it will load at boot :)
[20:39] <Jordan_U> swj0809: Rebooting is enough, you only need to run "sudo modprobe b43" if you want to test it without rebooting.
[20:39] <duffydack> be easier to get him to display his lscpi :)
[20:39] <duffydack> find out what it is first.
[20:40] <swj0809> oh ok, i'll go try, thanx for the help
[20:40] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: That's not needed, it will be loaded if needed (and the firmware exists) by default.
[20:41] <xxx_ooo_xxx> duffydack, wouldn't happen to know how to set devilspie to catch all windows?
[20:41] <duffydack> xxx_ooo_xxx, used it once, years ago.
[20:41] <duffydack> xxx_ooo_xxx, so, no, sorry
[20:44] <m41n1> hello guys
[20:45] <m41n1> is it possible to install lucid from the live cd/dvd without gui?
[20:45] <petriborg2> yeah you can do that
[20:45] <m41n1> is there any script to do that? or a text-base installation?
[20:45] <Jordan_U> m41n1: No.
[20:45] <Jordan_U> !alternate | m41n1
[20:45] <m41n1> i have the ps3 one
[20:45] <m41n1> is that ok?
[20:46] <petriborg2> anyone hook up their HDTV to their ubuntu box?
[20:46] <Jordan_U> !anyone | petriborg2
[20:46] <m41n1> Jordan_U: i am working on getting ubuntu lucid running on xbox360
[20:46] <m41n1> but the display does not work
[20:46] <m41n1> it works the live-cd for ps3
[20:46] <m41n1> with a custom kernel
[20:47] <m41n1> now i was wondering if it is possible to install it without gui
[20:47] <m41n1> or if there any package i can download from the live-cd to this purpose
[20:47] <Jordan_U> m41n1: You can install ssh and use ssh -X from another machine.
[20:48] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, if you have dvi or hdmi outputs on your graphics card, yes
[20:48] <m41n1> ok
[20:49] <haresh> finnly i have installed it lol
[20:50] <haresh> haha wanted to ask how can i check is my grafix card installed
[20:50] <john__> haresh, do you mean if your system sees it? lspci in terminal
[20:51] <plunder> is anyone else experience this usb glitch
[20:51] <BluesKaj> haresh, in the terminal lspci | grep VGA
[20:51] <john__> haresh, there are many guides on the ubuntu forums on graphics troubleshooting if you are having driver issues
[20:51] <john__> john__, hey
[20:51] <petriborg2> - BluesKaj  - yeah i have mine working, but no sound at all, its an integrated gf7100 so it seems like it should get audio, but nothing comes out of the tv :( ideas?
[20:52] <haresh> i am getting this
[20:52] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - i forgot to mention it is through hdmi
[20:52] <haresh> john__, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/q6yQT9JB
[20:52] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, hdmi ?
[20:52] <swj0809> Jordan_U: my wireless is now working just fine. thanks again!!
[20:52] <haresh> BluesKaj, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/q6yQT9JB
[20:52] <Jordan_U> swj0809: You're welcome.
[20:53] <john__> haresh, ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 PRO]
[20:53] <haresh> so its installed ?
[20:53] <haresh> john__,  isit installed
[20:53] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - yeah the HDMI port is plugged into an HDTV, got video, but no bloody sound :(
[20:54] <BluesKaj> petriborg2,  do you have sound on the pc?
[20:55] <john__> haresh, it is plugged in the computer and the computer recognizes it. but that won't tell you if the drivers are installed
[20:55] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - yeah I can play sound through the analog surround sound jacks on the back so I know pulseaudio is working there
[20:56] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, make sure the pcm ctrl is tuned up and unmuted in alsamixer
[20:56] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - and if i do "aplay -L" i can even see the HDMI port, and I can select the HDMI in the sound panel so everything *seems* like it should work
[20:56] <haresh> how do i install it ?
[20:56] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - where do I check those things?
[20:56] <abhijit> i have two seprate /home and /. can i now merge them to make one single continues partition? i.e. without loosing any data and ruining ubuntu?
[20:56] <BluesKaj> err turned up, petriborg2
[20:56] <emma> if you set updates to "download in the background" does that also install them without the password?
[20:57] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - i mean, is that like a seperate package i need to install? this is 10.04
[20:57] <emma> i want updates to happen siliently in the background, download and install without authorization or warning.
[20:57] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, open a terminal and type alsamixer , the use the asrrow keys to navigate and the M key unmute or mute
[21:00] <joe_kerr> Hi
[21:01] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - i see ok, i've checked that, nothing is muted, but i don't see the hdmi line in the mixer, i do see a S/PDIF, S/PDIF D, and S/PDIF 1 line, but I'm not using those since its an integrated mobo
[21:02] <kish> how2 do i get rid of that login window when this lappy comes out of suspend moce
[21:02] <kish> mode
[21:03] <mich> Hi
[21:03] <ZykoticK9> kish, System / Preferences / Screensaver - uncheck the Lock option
[21:03] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, so the audio is going directly into the tv , no amps or receivers ?
[21:03] <abhijit> kish, try unselected the optin lock computer when screen save is active from system>preferences>screensaver
[21:04] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - right directly in over the HDMI line, or thats the hope :-)
[21:04] <ZykoticK9> kish, oh sorry - not sure if that will work for "suspend" sorry...
[21:06] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, ok is the pcm ctrl in alsa mixer turned up to 90%
[21:06] <thune3> emma: i believe that the "Install security updates without confirmations setting" just used the "Origins" listed in Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins setting of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.
[21:06] <BluesKaj> err alsamixer
[21:07] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - it was set to 80, but i've moved it up to 100
[21:07] <mrman208> hello
[21:07] <^Jay2^> help needed here. I am installing ubuntu on my old desktop, livecd, gparted see's my ide harddrive (80gig) but when i tried installing lucid on it, in the Prepare Partition part, it doesn't see anything at all. ????? this is the first time i've encountered this.
[21:08] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, was it turned up when you first opened alsamixer?
[21:08] <kish> ZykoticK9, nope
[21:08] <ZykoticK9> kish, from "suspend" i doubt it's an option.  good luck man.
[21:08] <mrman208> ^jay2^: You are trying to install on the main hard drive, not an external one, right?
[21:09] <^Jay2^> mrman208: yes.
[21:09] <kish> ZykoticK9, hahha thanks
[21:09] <mrman208> ^jay2^: How large is the hard drive?
[21:09] <mrman208> ^jay2^: In GB
[21:09] <^Jay2^> mrman208: seagate 80gb
[21:09] <Black_Prince> I have same drive
[21:09] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - it was turned up most of the way yeah, i did up it the rest of the way to no avail
[21:09] <Black_Prince> On HP Minitower
[21:10] <Black_Prince> And I installed Ubuntu with no problem
[21:10] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, do you use the options in pulseaudio ?
[21:10] <^Jay2^> Black_Prince: :(( it wont see mine, only when installing... using the livecd see's it :(
[21:10] <ZykoticK9> Black_Phantom, it's more a "controller" issue then just a HD issue (for detection i mean)
[21:11] <Black_Prince> Maybe
[21:11] <mrman208> ^Jay2^: Maybe Ubuntu doesn't like Seagate drives?
[21:11] <^Jay2^> mrman208: lol
[21:11] <^Jay2^> i really dont want to install xp on this box again
[21:11] <mrman208> Are there any good alternatives to Rythmbox OTHER than VLC?
[21:12] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - yeah i've had very little problem with PA on this hardware, its always worked pretty well for me
[21:12] <mrman208> With one main feature that I like in Rythmbox, the ability to play songs from an ipod without importing.
[21:12] <buttmonkey> amarok
[21:12] <Black_Prince> Seagate ST380011A works fine with Ubuntu
[21:12] <mrman208> buttmonkey: I'll try it out, can you play songs straight from an iPod without importing?
[21:12] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - and i've checked PA too, nothing is muted and the volumes are all turned up in there too
[21:13] <tripelb-liveCD> New SATA drive, unseen by GUI. was advised to fdisk and lshw --> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5gL88jTh  -- what should I do now? (I want to install Ubuntu on it.)
[21:13] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - i also note that PA shows when I play a movie or whatever that the "meter" is going and working, so as far as I can tell, it should in fact be coming out of the TV, but just... isn't
[21:13] <mnm> Has the ipod shuffle 3rd generation work with Banshee?  I can sync music but when I play I am told "to sync shuffle with itunes"
[21:13] <duffydack> I`d use rockbox if not for the fact my ipod is the only one it doesnt support (arghhh)
[21:13] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, well, it may not be allowing a digital signal to the hdmi port
[21:14] <root__> how make irc account
[21:14] <mrman208> crap, pidgin always dies when I try to add a Skype acct
[21:14] <ZykoticK9> !register | root__
[21:14] <haresh> when when i watch flash video it s laggy
[21:14] <mrman208> so does Amarok support using an iPod?
[21:14] <mrman208> and what model do you use with Rockbox that it doesn't support
[21:15] <mnm> Is the ipod shuffle 3rd generation supported in 10.04?
[21:15] <duffydack> 6th gen
[21:15] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - do you mean PA is doing that, or the TV?
[21:15] <root__> how  create account
[21:15] <mrman208> ah, ok, I use a touch
[21:15] <BluesKaj> PA, petriborg2
[21:16] <tufftux> Anyone know anything about pulseaudio settings?
[21:16] <^Jay2^> no one????
[21:16] <collabra> root__: pay attention...
[21:16] <ZykoticK9> !anyone | tufftux
[21:16] <mrman208> is there any difference between apt-get and aptitude's 'install' commands?
[21:16] <collabra> !register | root__
[21:16] <haresh> when when i watch flash video it s laggy
[21:16] <mnm> how do you get the ipod shuffle 3rd generation to work?
[21:16] <ZykoticK9> mrman208, with only using the "install" command - there shouldn't be.  The programs are different, but just "installing" should be the same.
[21:17] <haresh> how to slove it
[21:17] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - i see :(
[21:17] <thune3> haresh: did you determine what video drivers you are running? " lshw -C video 2>/dev/null | grep driver "
[21:17] <emma> is it possible to have updates download and install automatically without asking permission and in the background?
[21:17] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, pulseaudio is merely another layer of audio processing and control for ppl with fancy audio cards , integrated cards don't benefit much from them IME and sometimes gum up the works
[21:17] <mrman208> ok. I just was wondering because i use apt-get all the time and when I see aptitude used in tutorials i just substitute it with apt-get
[21:18] <haresh> thune3,   configuration: driver=radeon latency=32 mingnt=
[21:18] <mrman208> Is there any way to set up an AirPort Extreme with Ubuntu or with Mac OS X inside VirtualBox?
[21:18] <ZykoticK9> mrman208, FYI aptitude isn't even included with 10.10 by default
[21:18] <mnm> the 3rd generation shuffle syncs with banshee, but does not play.  Anyone have luck getting the 3rd generation ipod shuffle to work?
[21:18] <tufftux> I would like to know how to get my line-in to play through my speakers
[21:18] <mrman208> ZykoticK9: Ah, bummer, I sometimes use it to search for packages.
[21:18] <tripelb-liveCD> I want to install ubuntu but it cant see my New SATA drive, help please.  an hour ago I was advised to do fdisk -l    > here are the results --> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5gL88jTh  -- what should I do now? (I want to install Ubuntu on it.)
[21:18] <thune3> emma: i believe that the "Install security updates without confirmations setting" just used the "Origins" listed in Unattended-Upgrade::Allowed-Origins setting of /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades. That is, you have to add the sources you want automatically update to this variable, see http://blog.ezyang.com/2010/03/third-party-unattended-upgrade/ or https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/automatic-updates.html
[21:19] <ZykoticK9> mrman208, "apt-cache search FOO" no sudo required ;)
[21:19]  * mrman208 Is going to try out Amarok
[21:19] <kish> gconftool-2 --type boolean -s /apps/gnome-power-manager/lock_on_suspend false
[21:19] <kish> that should do it
[21:19] <mrman208> ZykoticK9: Sweet! I didn't know you could do that. Thanks!
[21:19] <haresh> thune3, it says   configuration: driver=radeon latency=32 mingnt=
[21:19] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - ok, so you suggest then that I should remove pulse audio from the system i take it?
[21:19] <mrman208> Thank god for /clear :P
[21:20] <ZykoticK9> kish, good find - thanks.
[21:20] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, you could try without PA , just unnstall it (don't purge it)...if you want it back just install it again and it will retain your previous settings
[21:21] <mrman208> I heard that Amarok is made for KDE, will it work under GNOME?
[21:21] <tripelb-liveCD> someone told me yesterday that installing ubuntu on my new drive would take 15 minutes. I't been hours (sob) because I cant see the new SATA drive (first time installing SATA on this IDE computer. Yes there is are SATA ports on the m'board.)
[21:21] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - what about the fact though that alsa didn't list the HDMI output in alsamixer though?
[21:21] <ZykoticK9> mrman208, yes KDE apps will run under Gnome (you'll probably have a lot of dependences to install though)
[21:21] <llutz> mrman208: it will, just pulls some more libs
[21:21] <thune3> haresh: so i *think* you have video card that fglrx does not support. (I could be wrong.) If true, that's unfortunately not a way to make things any better, as I was hoping.)
[21:21] <mrman208> ZykoticK9: Oh yea, lots of em I just noticed when installing.
[21:22] <haresh> ok
[21:22] <collabra> !sata
[21:22] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - running "aplay -L" i can see "hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0, HDA NVidia, NVIDIA HDMI, HDMI Audio Output
[21:22] <Black_Prince> tripelb-liveCD can GParded see your new drive?
[21:22] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, I assume the PCM audio signal appears at thje hdmi audio port
[21:22] <mrman208> can you access iPod music with Amarok without importing?

[21:23] <thune3> haresh: i've had a varying success with http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/fixing-fullscreen-flash-in-ubuntu-1004.html , it may be something to try. Is the lag for all videos or just HD ones?
[21:24] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - why would PCM be the HDMI audio, because its the selected audio out destination selected in System>Preferences>Sound?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> is there a way to change the colour of text in a tty? So that when I connect to my server the colour of the text is different so I know I am on the server quickly?
[21:24] <tripelb-liveCD> Black_Prince: OK I'll try gparted (I should do sudo gparted ?)
[21:25] <mrman208> is Banshee any good?
[21:25] <Black_Prince> It is in system preferences
[21:25] <mrman208> (music player)
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> mrman208: it's a good player
[21:25] <Black_Prince> Application - System - Gparted
[21:25] <ubunt1> Hello? I have a problem with the resolution selection dialogue.
[21:25] <mrman208> ActionParsnip: Can you play iPod music without importing.  (System->Administration->Hardware Drivers)
[21:26] <mrman208> ActionParsnip: Ok, thanks
[21:26] <tripelb-liveCD> Black_Prince: I have an IDE drive mounted too With Windows on it cause I want a possible dual boot (windows as the alternative for sure) -- OK I'll look in the GUI.. :)
[21:26] <BluesKaj> PCM is the digital audio signal, petriborg2...PA uses it as well and PA may be blocking it in favour of the analog outs
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> mrman208: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/sync-iphone-and-ipod-touch-in-ubuntu.html
[21:27] <ubunt1> mrman208: It says I don't need any (if I clicked in the right place).
[21:27] <mrman208> I don't want to Sync it, I just want to play the music.
[21:27] <thune3> ActionParsnip: not sure howto automatically but "setterm -foreground green" worked for me in live tty
[21:28] <mrman208> ubunt1: What is the problem with the Resolution Dialog?
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> thune3: just found a script, looks promising :)
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> thune3: i'll let you know how it goes
[21:28] <gblanchard> I have an Onboard Intel Video Chipset GMA X4500HD.  Where can I find a Ubuntu 10.04 Driver
[21:28] <ubunt1> mrman208: I don't have any options besides 640x480. I am using a very old version of ubuntu and I want to also get actualizations, but I have another problem with that.
[21:29] <mrman208> ubunt1: What resolution is your monitor?
[21:29] <thune3> ActionParsnip: send me a pointer if you determine it is the bees knees
[21:29] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, with some integrtaed cards it's one or the other but not both , similar to windows vista
[21:29] <ubunt1> mrman208: 1024x768, but it used to run fine with 1280x760 in Windows.
[21:30] <mrman208> ubunt1: Hmm.. I used to have that problem but usually it was a Driver that wasn't installed.
[21:30] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - hm - I found this page which suggested: "pcm.!default hdmi:Intel" in the .asoundrc - i could try the same, but change Intel for NVidia
[21:30] <ubunt1> mrman208: Do you think getting a driver from my motherboard for Linux coudl solve the problem?
[21:30] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, in other words some cards allow digital or analog but not both simultaneously
[21:31] <piero> how do i download skype using terminal
[21:31] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - WOOT check out this - I did "aplay -Dhdmi:NVidia -c2" and i've got happy sounds going to my speakers this way
[21:31] <the[V]oid> anyone else expierencing connection problems with icq and pidgin right now except myself?
[21:31] <BluesKaj> piero, sudo aptitude install skype
[21:31] <mrman208> ubunt1: I don't really think so, I am not an expert on this by any means but I think it would be a problem with the graphics card, not the motherboard
[21:31] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - i have no idea why that works but uh :-)
[21:32] <ubunt1> mrman208: My graphic card is onboard.
[21:32] <mrman208> ubunt1: Oh, then yes you could try.
[21:32] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, good :)
[21:32] <|tufftux|> I have pulseaudio and would like to get the line-in sound to come through the speakers
[21:32] <mrman208> ubunt1: Or try running update manager and see if that works
[21:33] <ubunt1> mrman208: I tried, and wish I could get some updates, but I get errors there too.
[21:33] <mrman208> ubunt1: What kind of errors>
[21:33] <mrman208> *?
[21:33] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, did you find that command on that page youwere refrerring to earlier
[21:33] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - yeah i did
[21:34] <jetsaredim> anyone have the info on how to re-enable scroll support for the desktop switcher as well as on the desktop?
[21:34] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, url ?
[21:34] <spazlon> i have problems playing video in xmbc and boxee. i already asked there but it seems to be an ubuntu issue, not an application issue. the video is VERY blurry, almost like it is zoomed in to a small section (but not pixelated)

[21:34] <ubunt1> mrman208: It says I the repository might no longer be available. It starts downloading a list of files, but every and each of them fails.
[21:35] <petriborg2> i added it to the .asoundrc file as it suggested and just logged in/out
[21:35] <froggyman> Does anyone know of any media player available for linux that works in a similar fashion to "MediaMonkey"?
[21:35] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - got sound now !
[21:35] <mrman208> ubunt1: Try running 'sudo apt-get update' in terminal (without the quotes of course)
[21:36] <ubunt1> mrman208: Loads of errors and nothing downloaded. I think it's happening because I tries to download from the br.archive.ubuntu.com server, hence my system language.
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> thune3: ended up adding: export PS1="\e[0;36m[\u@\h \W]\$ \e[m "       to the bottom of ~/.bashrc. Makes the prompt cyan rather than grey :)
[21:37] <|tufftux|>  I have pulseaudio and would like to get the line-in sound to come through the speakers
[21:37] <mrman208> ubunt1: That might be it, though I am sorry but I do not know much more about your situation.
[21:37] <petriborg2> BluesKaj - thanks so much for your help
[21:37] <ubunt1> mrman208: Is there anyway to switch my update server?
[21:38] <guntbert> ubunt1: of course - GUI or CLI?
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> ubunt1: sure, use software sources in the system menu and choose a different server
[21:39] <mrman208> ubunt1: Yes! I just found something, go to system > administration > software sources, and click Download From, and choose other and go to United States and find one there
[21:40] <Bouchii> Wassup ?
[21:40] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, well it seems you helped yourself just fine :)
[21:41] <ubunt1> guntbert: I don't know.
[21:41] <ubunt1> ActionParsnip, mrman208: Will try.
[21:41] <barf00365> Hi all, i'm having issues with my ubuntu server 10.04 install, shutting down powers down the drives and then just hangs with the message 'System Halted' leaving me to have to press the power button to power down.  Anyone give me any guidance?

[21:42] <migster> question: does anyone know how I can reset my IRC password? I can't login
[21:42] <guntbert> ubunt1: just do like ActionParsnip and mrman208 already said :-)
[21:42] <mrman208> For some reason the "Skype plugin for libpurble messengers" keeps crashing Pidgin when i try to add a Skype accound. Any idea why?
[21:42] <mrman208> *account
[21:42] <IdleOne> migster: #freenode can help with that
[21:42] <guntbert> migster: join #freenode and ask for a password reset
[21:42] <ubuntu_> Hello, I have a new SATA drive and and IDE drive that I just put windows on (so I can dualboot, Ubuntu primary). OK the problem is the GUI cant see the drive. CLI-fdisk can see it (http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5gL88jTh) but GUI-gparted does not show it. This is as far as I have gotten. I'd appreciate help. THanks.
[21:43] <ubunt1> guntbert, ActionParsnip, mrman208: The main server also fails me.
[21:43] <mrman208> migster: type /join #freenode in your irc client
[21:43] <spazlon> i have problems playing video in xmbc and boxee. i already asked there but it seems to be an ubuntu issue, not an application issue. the video is VERY blurry, almost like it is zoomed in to a small section (but not pixelated)

[21:47] <fixxxermet> I am PXEbooting my ubuntu from a NFS mount.
[21:47] <mrman208> Is there any way to setup an Airport Extreme from within Ubuntu or from Mac OS X inside a VM? (The VM is with VirtualBox)

[21:47] <fixxxermet> I want the other two nfs mounts to mount after /
[21:48] <ubunt1> guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/474659/
[21:48] <guntbert> mrman208: that has nothing to do with setting your status it just a (here) annoying announcement (try it in #test with /me yawns)
[21:48] <mrman208> Ah, ok, thanks!
[21:48] <collabra> sorry this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1380077
[21:48] <duffydack> mrman208, #vbox is the best place.
[21:48] <collabra> maybey
[21:48] <mrman208> duffydack: Alright. Thanks!
[21:49] <guntbert> ubunt1: are you really on feisty (7.04)?
[21:49] <duffydack> lol
[21:50] <ubunt1> guntbert: Guess so. I mentioned earlier that I had a very old version of Ubuntu here.
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> fixxxermet: you can add: mount -a    in /etc/rc.local    to make it attempt to mount again
[21:51] <mrman208> Is there any way to use the Mac OS X trackpad gestures in Ubuntu?
[21:51] <fixxxermet> ActionParsnip: That was my previous work around.  So that is a normal solution?
[21:51] <mrman208> Or would that be better in #macosx
[21:51] <guntbert> ubunt1: that version has reached its "end of life" (support wise) 2 years ago
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> fixxxermet: it's one solution
[21:52] <BluesKaj> petriborg2, which ubuntu version are yiu running , .asoundrtc is depracated in the latest releases
[21:52] <BluesKaj> err .asoundrc
[21:52] <ubunt1> guntbert: So you are basically telling me there is nothing to be done?
[21:52] <Dr_Willis> mrman208:  check the forums perhaps. Ive never seen that feature mentioned anywhere.
[21:53] <duffydack> ubunt1, any reason to stay on feisty?
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  you could always upgrade to a newer version.
[21:53] <guntbert> ubunt1: you could upgrade - better to reinstall a fresh version
[21:53] <Dr_Willis> mrman208:  check the forums perhaps. Ive never seen that feature mentioned anywhere.
[21:54] <mrman208> Dr_Willis: About the trackpad guestures? I'll give it a look. thanks!
[21:54] <ubunt1> duffydack: No...
[21:54] <ubunt1> Dr_Willis, guntbert: I would like to do that. Also, I wouldn't mind to lose all the data, because this is a fresh install.
[21:54] <guntbert> mrman208: you just got yourself removed from vbox ??
[21:54] <mrman208> Yes...

[21:55] <ubunt1> guntbert: Where can I get a current ISO? Is the file big?
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  cd iso = 700mb. avail at the ubuntu homepage.
[21:55] <duffydack> it will be like travelling 100 yrs into the future for ubunt1
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> !vmware | Bouchii

[21:56] <duffydack> Bouchii, which is why I dont like vmware, its forever needing a damn patch to make it work
[21:56] <mrman208> duffydack: And VMWare costs money, correct?
[21:56] <duffydack> Bouchii, Virtualbox for the win
[21:57] <duffydack> mrman208, vmware server/player dont, and do work well, when installed
[21:57] <ubunt1> guntbert: Thank you!
[21:57] <mrman208> duffydack: Ahh, but Virtualbox is still better :)
[21:57] <guntbert> ubunt1: no problem :) and Good luck :-)

[21:57] <duffydack> mrman208, well, mostly

[22:00] <duffydack> Like my themes dark and miserable.
[22:00] <shawn___> any way to make 3 hard disk drives (small ones) appear and operate as one bigger one?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> idrankwhat: make sure the right uuid is defined in /etc/fstab for your root partition
[22:01] <Minino71> hi
[22:01] <spinningcompass> duffydack: You must be a writer for Grey's Anatomy.
[22:01] <spinningcompass> shawn___: Hardware RAID?
[22:01] <shawn___> hardware only?
[22:01] <tensorpudding> shawn___: there is LVM, and RAID.
[22:01] <Minino71> just making a probe, i'm no tired. See you!
[22:01] <idrankwhat> ActionParsnip I am new to Linux I do not know how to check these things
[22:02] <tensorpudding> you can try to do RAID 5 on a 3 drive set using mdadm
[22:02] <spinningcompass> shawn___: If you want the three drives to appear as one bigger one to the OS, it'll have to be hardware. Or, if you're OK w/ software-based support, btrfs has something that's arguably better than LVM.
[22:02] <shawn___> spinningcompass, tensorpudding I wondered about RAID but don't know much about it.
[22:02] <duffydack> wont an LVM do it?
[22:02] <tensorpudding> but it's not efficient
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> shawn___: use LVM
[22:02] <_klk_> hi all, i have a system that i can only access over ssh (not physically).  it's running debian 4.0 right now.  how would i install ubuntu server on it?
[22:02] <tensorpudding> LVM will give you what you want, but it won't provide any redundancy
[22:02] <duffydack> btfs is not quite ready yet
[22:02] <shawn___> ActionParsnip: LVM will make it appear as one chunk to OS?
[22:02] <spinningcompass> duffydack: Fair point.
[22:03] <duffydack> spinningcompass, slow as hell on my maverick alpha :)
[22:03] <idrankwhat> ActionParsnip It is on my desktop computer. I loaded 10.04 LTS 64 bit with a dual boot Windows 7 64 bit
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> shawn___: should do
[22:03] <collabra> shawn___:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1472578
[22:03] <spinningcompass> duffydack: I spent ten years battling with LVM and RAID. I guess I jumped at the chance to use something that didn't involve either.
[22:03] <duffydack> well in comparison to ext4.
[22:03] <Peter|laptop> I am using wubi to install ubuntu. When it installs ubuntu, ubuntu can not connect to the internet through my wireless connection, the laptop says it is connected though
[22:04] <shawn___> Thanks all. I'll check out URL collabra .
[22:04] <Peter|laptop> I tried installing ubuntu 2 times
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> idrankwhat: you need to make sure the right UUID is in the fstab or the mount will fail
[22:04] <tensorpudding> RAID-Z is pretty nice, but you might want to consider a different OS.
[22:04] <Baughn> Where can I find an 8.10 installation cd?
[22:04] <Baughn> (Well, iso)
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> Peter|laptop: download the ISO and MD5 test it, then install offline from that
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> !download | Baughn
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> !8.10 | Baughn
[22:04] <Peter|laptop> ActionParsnip, thanks
[22:04] <idrankwhat> Actionparsnip I have no idea what you are talking about
[22:05] <Baughn> ActionParsnip: I'm aware that it's been EOL'd. I still need to install it.
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> Baughn: just letting you know, i assume nothing
[22:05] <Baughn> ActionParsnip: Okay, so you don't know. Hm, maybe one of the mirrors will still have it..
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> idrankwhat: if you boot to live CD you can run: sudo blkid    you can then mount the Ubuntu root partition and read the fstab file
[22:06] <guntbert> Baughn: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/
[22:06] <Baughn> Thanks!
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Baughn: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/
[22:06] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: :)
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Baughn: I used the releases link, then manually changed the url
[22:07] <ubunt1> guntbert: I am downloading the PC intel, the first version available... Is that the right one? I have an intel and it was originally a PC...
[22:07] <idrankwhat>  ActionParsnip OK, If I boot on the CD can you talk me through it?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> idrankwhat: the UUID for the root partition must be exactly the same as the one in the fstab file
[22:07] <ubunt1> guntbert: Meaning Windows, by PC... I suppose.
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> idrankwhat: i just gave you all you need
[22:07] <Baughn> What was the name of that USB-disk <- iso-image converter?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> idrankwhat: you can mount the partition from the places menu
[22:08] <duffydack> usb-creator?
[22:08] <guntbert> ubunt1: yes, the desktop version is what you want, be sure to md5sum check the iso before burning it
[22:08] <ubunt1> guntbert: How do I do that?
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> !md5
[22:08] <shawn___> collabra: it looks like LVM requires RAID, correct?
[22:08] <idrankwhat> I will look for a places menu once it reboots
[22:09] <Bouchii> What is the command for enabling E-mail Sending on SET ( Back | Track 4F) ?
[22:09] <guntbert> ubunt1: see what ubottu said above
[22:09] <collabra> shawn___: Ur trying to tie 3 drives together?
[22:09] <guntbert> !backtrack | Bouchii
[22:10] <shawn___> yes. 3 small ones into one space that I don't have to divvy up myself when saving files... collabra
[22:10] <collabra> shawn___: i've done it a bunch of times.... you need to manually partition....
[22:10] <ubunt1> Well, you see, there are no partitions here and I will be running this ISO from this ancient Linux version itself... Will that work?
[22:11] <duffydack> There was some lvm gui tool once ago.. cant remember its name
[22:11] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  clarify what you mean 'running this iso' ?
[22:11] <almoxarife> I want to completely remove gnome from the system, I have installed xubuntu, I have seen a page that gave the apt-get line to remove it all, anyone have that link?
[22:11] <SimonSayez> Yo
[22:11] <collabra> shawn___: you need a boot partition roughly 100 mb to 200 mb...
[22:11] <shawn___> collabra: ok.
[22:11] <collabra> shawn___: then tie the three drives together with raid 0
[22:12] <ubunt1> Dr_Willis: Well, yeah. I am supposed to burn this ISO, right?
[22:12] <shawn___> collabra: RAID 0 would be hardware required or soft?
[22:12] <collabra> shawn___: lvm the raid drive... then partition the lvm for a root and swap
[22:12] <guntbert> ubunt1: you check the iso, burn it then boot from it
[22:12] <collabra> shawn___: soft
[22:12] <SimonSayez> ubunt1, Yes you burn iso o disk's
[22:12] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  one normally burns an iso to disk. or uses that usb-disk-creator or unetbootin tool to make a bootable flash drive from it.
[22:12] <shawn___> collabra: you make it sound like not too bad of a process.
[22:13] <duffydack> Dr_Willis, he`s on feisty :)
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> duffydack:  so?   :P
[22:13] <collabra> shawn___: it's pretty simple,... just follow the above directions,... easy peezy japaneezzy
[22:13] <duffydack> Dr_Willis,  no usb creator afaik...maybe my brain is gone.
[22:13] <Dr_Willis> duffydack:  i never said there was. :) i said it could be used.

[22:14] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  it should have some tools to burn iso's yes..  if not install some.
[22:14] <SimonSayez> ubunt1, Yeah its called Brasero
[22:14] <ubunt1> Dr_Willis: That is the problem. This version is so old, no package can be decompiled. If I have to do anything, it must be with what is already here.
[22:14] <ubunt1> SimonSayez: OK, thank you.
[22:15] <guntbert> ubunt1: yes, the current iso brings that (and Dr_Willis is not paying attention :-))
[22:15] <duffydack> growisofs
[22:15] <collabra> shawn___: dont forget to make the boot partition bootable
[22:15] <SimonSayez> ubunt1, no problem
[22:15] <grekkos> Need help my wireless internet stopped working today and iwlist scan is returning no results at all, was working fine for 2 days prior. Dell inspiron laptop running Ubuntu 10.04.
[22:15] <shawn___> collabra: ok
[22:15] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:   you dont have to use 'unetbootin' on linux. it also has windows ports.. But thats not for burning an iso to cd...  so you are sort of asking differnt problems.
[22:16] <SimonSayez> grekkos, turn your router on and off
[22:16] <grekkos> SimonSayez: it's not even seeing the neighbor's wifi
[22:16] <duffydack> ubunt1, growisofs  -Z /dev/cdrom=ubuntu.iso
[22:16] <ubunt1> Dr_Willis: Hmm... OK... I guess. Sorry. (?)
[22:16] <Dr_Willis> ubunt1:  tehrs tools to burn iso to cd.. or you could fifure out some way to use the other tools if you wanted a bootable flash drive.
[22:16] <SimonSayez> grekkos, are you piggybacking on your neighbors wifi connection ?
[22:17] <Xase> Hello.
[22:17] <grekkos> SimonSayez: no, but if I scan I should be able to see networks other than my own
[22:17] <shawn___> collabra: are you sure you pasted correct URL to me? I see thread about SATA problems.
[22:17] <Xase> I was wondering what is the best way to fix overscan on the hdtvs
[22:17] <duffydack> ubunt1, I`d use gujins bootloader and cat if I were to burn to usb, myself...
[22:17] <grekkos> SimonSayez: mine is hidden
[22:17] <SimonSayez> grekkos, depends if they are broadcasting
[22:17] <grekkos> SimonSayez: I can see them from this computer. So yes, I should be able to see them on the other one as well
[22:17] <Dr_Willis> Xase:  i noticed my nvidia-settings tool has a 'overscan' setting/buttons now that adjusted mine.
[22:18] <thune3> almoxarife: i think this is the page: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce I can't speak to problems you might encounter. You should probably run "apt-get -f" or something similar afterward.
[22:18] <collabra> shawn___: i'm a bit tired,... no,... don't follow that link.
[22:18] <Xase> I wish I had nvidia.
[22:18] <grekkos> SimonSayez: It was showing the other available networks before also when it was connecting to mine
[22:18] <Xase> I have an intel 4500MHD
[22:18] <Xase> 4500*
[22:18] <Xase> ...
[22:18] <almoxarife> thune3: thnks
[22:18] <Xase> Wow... and next is to fnd out how to clear up text...
[22:18] <grekkos> SimonSayez: I tried switching the driver from BCM to STA and back etc and compiling a new driver as well, but still no luck
[22:18] <SimonSayez> grekkos, Did you reboot Ubuntu and turn your router off and on ?
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> Xase: you may need to form an xorg.conf file to get a suitable display
[22:19] <grekkos> SimonSayez: i've rebooted the ubuntu machine several times
[22:19] <Xase> Alright... =/ I was lightly familiar with using xrandr with my ps3, but I hear that's not a good thing to do.
[22:19] <collabra> shawn___: think you can handle it?,... i've gotta go,...
[22:19] <Xase> So... how can I figure out the proper mode for my tv though?
[22:19] <shawn___> yeah. thanks.
[22:20] <collabra> shawn___: np,... take it easy
[22:20] <Xase> and does xorg.conf still go in /etc/X11/ ?
[22:20] <SimonSayez> grekkos, you must have changed file permissions by mistake
[22:20] <grekkos> SimonSayez: file permissions of what files
[22:20] <Xase> I broke my 1410 Aspire's screen and turned it into a media pc :O
[22:21] <SimonSayez> grekkos, ubuntu should be able to detect your wireless router but you changed a lot on your system from the default install
[22:21] <grekkos> SimonSayez: I installed 2 days ago, I have changed nothing. I installed only VirtualBox and Windows XP
[22:22] <Tempus_> Ok I have a ? about security....running Lucid firestarter has logged like 8 intrusion attempts...From China...so how do I make sure they are not getting in??
[22:22] <Dr_Willis> grekkos:  you just said you were compiling drivers and other things.. thats 'changeing' things.. in my book.
[22:22] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: yes. When the drivers stopped working i tried to compile a new one
[22:22] <SimonSayez> Dr_Willis, Exactly!
[22:22] <Xase> Dr_Willis,  agreed.
[22:22] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: following a guide i found on the ubuntu forums
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> grekkos:  the sta driver did not work for my wireless cards here. alsio ui had issues with the 'switch' on my laptop not turning on the wireless..
[22:23] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: again it worked for 2 days, today it stopped working and none of the gui settings were helping
[22:23] <A1B2C3> Hello, i saw few weeks ago a web site with portable software for linux (packaged like for osx, all in one binary), anyone know the site ?
[22:23] <Xase> So... best way to go about testing modes for my tv?
[22:23] <Firefishe> I'm trying to play a conference call in .wma format, given to me by my project manager.  I try to play it in various players (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS), and I get a can't play error with a reference to windows speech processor.  Any ideas?
[22:23] <idrankwhat> I have booted by disk and it doesn't recognize my wireless mouse. I don't know if I have a wired mouse in the house.
[22:23] <Tempus_> What other methods of security can I take to prevent Intrusions or is firestarter pretty safe??
[22:23] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: the switch on this computer is the F2 button, I'm wondering if that had something to do with it, but I don't know how to switch it so that the F2 button acts like an F2 button and not a wifi switch
[22:23] <iclever> hi
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> grekkos: for one odd laptop i had. I had to boot to windows.. turn on the wioreless. then reboot to linux. then the switch started working..
[22:23] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: I've tried turning that on and off but no luck
[22:24] <iclever> scince dont know when i can't ajust brightness. how can i fix that ?? 10.4
[22:24] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: any idea how to switch the keyboard settings for that? Cause I might do a clean install and then try to fix the keyboard so it's not so easy to accidentally disable it
[22:24] <Dr_Willis> grekkos:  did you turn it on in windows? I have this weird HP. thats just quirky.
[22:24] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: the windows is a virtual machine
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> grekkos:  i dont see how a 'virtual machine' figures into this...
[22:25] <thune3> Tempus_: do you have any services running for them to "get in to"?
[22:25] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: there is no windows.
[22:25] <duffydack> Tempus_, you should be ok unless you added some server software like apache, ftp etc..  try  netstat -antuwp | egrep "(^[^t])|(^tcp.*LISTEN)"
[22:25] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: Ubuntu 10.04 only, with a Windows XP Virtual machine
[22:25] <grekkos> Dr_Willis: you said turn it on in windows
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> grekkos:  so you have no windows to boot to.. there goes that idea then..
[22:26] <Tempus_> thune3: Not that I am aware of not doing anything special I am still learning
[22:26] <Dr_Willis> ive no other ideas. except perhaops try it in some live cd/distros see if it can work in any of them
[22:26] <Xase> How to figure out the best mode? use xrandr, and thn append the correct mode to an xorg.conf?
[22:27] <Tempus_> duffydack: what will that command do??
[22:27] <duffydack> Tempus_, test for listening port
[22:28] <duffydack> Tempus_, you will have 'some' internal stuff, which can be ignored.
[22:28] <Xase> could anyone at least point me to a good thread, al the ones found are crap.
[22:29] <thune3> Tempus_: you could check shields up service from grc.com (or other trusted port scanning service). If you don't have any ports open, there's nothing for intruders to "get in to".
[22:29] <Tempus_> duffydack: is there any extra measures I can take to insure they dont get in??
[22:29] <duffydack> Tempus_, also, fo you have a router/nat or connected direct to the net?
[22:29] <duffydack> Tempus_,  switch off..
[22:29] <ZykoticK9> Xase, if you want to auto-generate an xorg file see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file
[22:29] <Tempus_> duffydack: for the time being I am connected direct thru eth
[22:30] <duffydack> Tempus_, they need something to 'get in' to first, so make sure nothing is listening.
[22:30] <Tempus_> ok
[22:30] <duffydack> Tempus_, there are online port scanners also to try.
[22:30] <Xase>  ZykoticK9  I also need to know the correct mode =/
[22:30] <duffydack> Tempus_, but linux+firewall is sufficient.
[22:31] <didimahamatzene> bonjour
[22:31] <Tempus_> duffydack: checking grc.com right now

[22:32] <grekkos> anyone know how to make my F-Keys function like FKeys and not laptop functions like wifi, brightness, volume, etc?
[22:32] <duffydack> grekkos, a bios function usually.
[22:32] <mattwj2002> Ubuntu has really let me down :(
[22:32] <Tempus_> duffydack: can I send you the log file and have you see if you can figure out who is trying to get in ??
[22:32] <grekkos> duffydack: ok i'll check it out, thanks
[22:32] <thune3> Tempus_: you have to select shields up from the "services" menu at the top.
[22:32] <spinningcompass> mattwj2002: What happened?
[22:32] <grekkos> duffydack: i was thinking maybe it was in the kernel or something
[22:33] <duffydack> grekkos, for me, its bios
[22:33] <mattwj2002> there is a bug in ubuntu that has not been resolved in at least 2 version if not more
[22:33] <mattwj2002> that is unacceptable
[22:33] <mattwj2002> :(
[22:33] <grekkos> duffydack: do you have any experience with wifi related issues too?
[22:33] <spinningcompass> grekkos: Wifi on/off, brightness, volume are usually in BIOS because they're OS-independent.
[22:33] <mattwj2002> it is a big bug too
[22:33] <spinningcompass> mattwj202: That's unfortunate. What's the bug?
[22:33] <Xase> Bahl..
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> file a bug on the bug. ?
[22:34] <Xase> Okay so now I have xconf
[22:34] <Xase> Now how to get the correct mode?
[22:34] <duffydack> Tempus_, I wouldnt worry about it..  make sure nothing is sat waiting for a knock knock and you`ll be right.
[22:34] <duffydack> grekkos, what in particular
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: dont use ubuntu then if its so appauling...
[22:34] <mattwj2002> the keyboard is all messed up when using tightvncserver to connect to a box over vnc
[22:34] <spinningcompass> ActionParsnip: Oh, come now. :) That's not very helpful.
[22:34] <grekkos> duffydack: my wifi stopped working after 2 days for no apparent reason and now it won't even detect any networks when i try scanning with iwlist
[22:35] <mattwj2002> I am sorry ActionParsnip it is a good OS one of the best versions of Linux :)
[22:35] <spinningcompass> grekkos: If you turned off the computer, waited half an hour, and turned it back on, did that fix the problem? It could be a heating issue, a bug in the kernel driver, ...
[22:35] <mattwj2002> if not the best!
[22:35] <duffydack> grekkos, sudo lspci -vv | grep Network
[22:35] <mattwj2002> I am surprised it hasn't been fixed
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: depends on needs, as a first step into linux its great
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002: It can be hard to track down some bugs.
[22:36] <mattwj2002> it just seems so noticeable
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  ive never seen the issue. so it dosent seem to affect everyone the same.
[22:36] <spinningcompass> mattwj2002: Perhaps it's worth contacting the individual or individuals responsible for supporting that particular piece of the puzzle.
[22:36] <mattwj2002> okay
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  so i would say its not that noticeable.
[22:36] <idrankwhat> My wireless mouse doesn't work when I boot off the CD any ideas anyone? I don't think I have a wired mouse anywhere. I would have to go buy one I guess.
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: whats the bug anyhoo?
[22:36] <spinningcompass> mattwj2002: Often, a given component has a PoC (point of contact). He/she will want to hear from you.
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  theres other vncsewrvers out there. and you could always try that NX . its MUCH faster then vnc i found
[22:37] <mattwj2002> sure I would be glad to help
[22:37] <spinningcompass> idrankwhat: Occam's Razor. (I hope I'm spelling it correctly.) By a wired mouse. :)
[22:37] <grekkos> duffydack: awesome I found the function keys option in the bios thanks a ton
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: why do you need vnc? what do you do when you get connected?
[22:37] <Tempus_> duffydack: ok well grc showed all green as far as stealth goes but replied to ping request...how do i turn that off or modify what the ping request replies to??
[22:37] <grekkos> duffydack: I'm thinking it might've gotten switched off by mistake and it's not really turning back on or something, but i'm not sure I'll try the command you gave in a minute
[22:37] <mattwj2002> because it is a remote box in my apartment
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> Tempus_:  replying to ping is not that big a security issue. :) unless you want to be truely paranoid.
[22:38] <duffydack> Tempus_, thats a setting in some file somewhere I cant remember, maybe someone else can remember for me :)
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: sure, but what do you do in the vnc session?
[22:38] <mattwj2002> I like to work on it without having to sit right in front of it
[22:38] <ader10> Hi. What device is the cdrom/dvd drive at?
[22:38] <ader10> normally, that is
[22:38] <duffydack> Tempus_, ping is nothing to fear
[22:38] <mattwj2002> what do you mean what do I want in it?
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  can you see the screen on it friom where you sit?  Syngery is good in such a case.
[22:38] <duffydack> sysctl.conf one of the ip settings?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: what do you do on the desktop once you get connected via vnc?
[22:38] <Tempus_> Dr_Willis: ok ty
[22:38] <Xase> suwhats the name of the tool that configures vinagre settings btw while we are here.
[22:39] <mattwj2002> well I can use x11vnc instead that works
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> Tempus_:  you did scan your pc. and not the router? :)
[22:39] <duffydack> Tempus_, doesnt your firewall have something for it?
[22:39] <mattwj2002> but I prefer tightvncserver
[22:39] <mattwj2002> it use to work!
[22:39] <grekkos> duffydack: BCM4312
[22:39] <idrankwhat> Bye, going back to Windows. Guess I'm stuck again. Been 4 days trying to get my desktop to work with Ubuntu.
[22:39] <Tempus_> duffydack: I will check but I am running firestarter
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: if you tell me what you do I may be able to suggest more graceful solutions than VNC
[22:39] <duffydack> grekkos, not again...  ok and what driver you using
[22:39] <mattwj2002> I noticed it is only an issue in Ubuntu not a problem with mythbuntu
[22:39]  * duffydack so many bcm4312 problems lately.. why
[22:40] <grekkos> duffydack: I was using BCM at first, but when it stopped working I switchd to STA and that didn't work so I compiled another one
[22:40] <qwertyu123> hi
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  i saw a vnc called 'tigervnc' the other day thats 'newer' then some of the others.. but dident try it yet.
[22:40] <duffydack> grekkos, let me guess, you have a dell ?
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  if you are on a local lan, you could just ssh -X otherbox, and run whatever apps you want to.
[22:40] <grekkos> duffydack: yes
[22:40] <duffydack> grekkos, I figured from the bios :) same as me
[22:40] <grekkos> duffydack: :D
[22:40] <mattwj2002> well I use tightvncserver to create a seperate desktop session
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: if you are managing torrents (for example) transmission has a web gui
[22:40] <duffydack> grekkos, remove whatever driver you have
[22:41] <mattwj2002> I like it because it keep it running
[22:41] <duffydack> grekkos, use STA.  it works, simple as that
[22:41] <Xase> Anyone good on figuring out proper modes for hdtvs?
[22:41] <grekkos> duffydack: could a virtualbox install be affecting it? cause i donno why it just stopped working
[22:41] <mattwj2002> I don't use torrents
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: me too but there are much slimmer and sleeker ways to access stuff instead of vnc
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: its an example as yu havent told me what apps you run on the desktop
[22:41] <duffydack> grekkos,  newer kernel maybe and not being loaded..shouldnt be a problem tho
[22:41] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  so what are you doing on the remote box? word processing?  web surfing?  playing pacman?
[22:42] <duffydack> grekkos, dkms should 'see to it'
[22:42] <Xase> The guy wants to use vnc, just help with it, instead of persuading him not to.
[22:42] <grekkos> duffydack: i was pretty sure it was working after I installed the updates
[22:42] <spinningcompass> amen, xase
[22:42] <mattwj2002> correct Dr_Willis
[22:42] <btarik> hello world, i want to set firefox as the default web browser,update-alternatives --config x-www-browser doesn't work
[22:42] <spinningcompass> "Doctor, doctor, it hurts when I lift my arm above my head." "Well, then, don't lift your arm above your head."
[22:42] <grekkos> duffydack: what do I do with dkms
[22:42] <duffydack> grekkos, hmm..   test that theory then and uninstall vbox
[22:42] <Tempus_> There are so many aspects I want to learn aboout It gets overwhelming trying to figure out where to start??? from security and encryption, to networking and programming are all areas of interest for me
[22:43] <mikebot> How do I change the default font color uin ubuntu? Because of my theme, EVERY thing on my computer (openoffice, gmail, etc.) is set (by default I guess) to grey (not black)?
[22:43] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  freenx will give much better responce then vnc. Im slowly getting my home lan set up to do that.   It has some other neat featres as well. But its harder to setup. :(
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: setupa shared folder for your files then run the word processor and access the files on the share instead of running vnc
[22:43] <duffydack> grekkos, you wont lose any of your vm`s.. you can install later.
[22:43] <grekkos> duffydack: alright not a bad idea let me see
[22:43] <Xase> I wish NX had a ipod app.
[22:43] <mattwj2002> guys I want access to a full gnome session
[22:44] <mattwj2002> full access to the desktop
[22:44] <mattwj2002> I use this vnc session to convert files for wikisource :)
[22:44] <duffydack> grekkos, I have vbox with sta driver btw.
[22:44] <grekkos> duffydack: hmm
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: just giving examples how to use lighter options which will run faster
[22:45] <DiegoGrez> mattwj2002, I'm here :P
[22:45] <mattwj2002> vnc is light enough
[22:45] <grekkos> duffydack: I'm pretty sure it was working after I installed that, but maybe not after I installed the VM itself not that that should affect it
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  NX can do that.    actually if its just a linux -> linux lan setup. you could use xdmcp also for that.
[22:45] <mattwj2002> lightness is not the issue
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> mattwj2002: not compared to other solutions
[22:45] <mattwj2002> the bug is
[22:45] <duffydack> grekkos, but I`m not sure how much you have done to your system with this driver that driver
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> lightness means it runs faster
[22:45] <Dr_Willis> mattwj2002:  the bug you havent really given a bug # for that ive noticed.
[22:45] <grekkos> duffydack: yeah there's nothing on it still really I'll just try a reinstall and see
[22:45] <grekkos> duffydack: if this doesn't work
[22:46] <mattwj2002> it is not an install issue
[22:46] <mattwj2002> I have noticed this with multiple boxes and multiple installs
[22:46] <mattwj2002> I have seen a bug on this
[22:46] <mattwj2002> one moment
[22:46] <duffydack> grekkos,  I know vbox doesnt allow you to use your wifi as a network if you have dhcp address w/ mac filtering.. like, your vm`s network wont work....
[22:47] <grekkos> duffydack: It's not my computer I actually wanted to keep the windows VM disconnected from the internet
[22:47] <grekkos> duffydack: she only really needs MS Office
[22:47] <duffydack> grekkos,  ok.
