[00:00] <dsnyders> Hi all!  What's the command for bulk renaming?
[00:00] <sam-_-> EvilSush1, and why would he  want to do that?
[00:00] <sonata> ilovefairuz: I'm using it to boot to "HDDHACKR" to install a different firmware onto the disk.  There is a FreeDOS folder in here as well, but it's a folder and not an ISO.
[00:00] <EvilSush1> sam-_-: if he needs 2.7 and its not in the repos, why not?
[00:00] <purpley123> ilovefairuz, http://pastebin.com/Lbax4uGT
[00:00] <ilovefairuz> sonata: check the freedos wiki on how to make a bootable usb
[00:00] <sam-_-> EvilSush1, has even has it installed already
[00:01] <sam-_-> EvilSush1, *has = he
[00:01] <dsnyders> I want to substitute a space in the filenames with 0.  Eg: Season 1 becomes Season01/
[00:01] <dizital> EvilSush1: http://pastebin.com/05c4FWqd
[00:01] <jacko> \/ = /tcl
[00:02] <jacko> only frst
[00:02] <jacko> mv = move
[00:02] <EvilSush1> dizital: typically its called wlan0.. Is this a wireless card?
[00:03] <ilovefairuz> purpley123: try: sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get install  firmware-b43-lpphy-installer
[00:03] <dizital> EvilSush1: yes
[00:03] <jacko> bulk rename is                       mv source dest
[00:03] <EvilSush1> dizital: do a sudo iwlist ra0 scan
[00:03] <EvilSush1> dizital: and grep for the essid you want to connect to, can you see it?
[00:03] <purpley123> ilovefairuz, Unable to locate that package
[00:03] <vonvon> how to chang permission owner folder help
[00:04] <purpley123> ilovefairuz, Oh there was an extra space nvm
[00:04] <dizital> EvilSush1:yea it picked up 8 different essid's
[00:04] <EvilSush1> vonvon: chown user.user folder/
[00:04] <dizital> i'm new to linux so wut u mean by grep?
[00:04] <jacko> eg... mv ~/* ~/new/*
[00:04] <EvilSush1> dizital: alright try this.. sudo ifconfig ra0 down
[00:04] <EvilSush1> dizital: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[00:04] <sam-_-> EvilSush1, no need to use sudo with iwlist scan (nerdalert. i know.)
[00:04] <purpley123> ilovefairuz, Looks like there are no errors, it looks as though it extracted a lot of things
[00:04] <vonvon> i not delete folder
[00:05] <EvilSush1> sam-_-: heh i dunno man im new to ubuntu =)(
[00:05] <EvilSush1> dizital: then sudo ifconfig essid "the essid you want"
[00:05] <vonvon> folder have permission owner root
[00:05] <EvilSush1> dizital: err
[00:05] <ilovefairuz> purpley123: now try this again: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
[00:05] <EvilSush1> dizital: sudo ifconfig ra0 up
[00:06] <sam-_-> EvilSush1, should be the same in other distros i think.
[00:06] <EvilSush1> dizital: then sudo ifconfig essid "the essid you want"
[00:06] <kas> used sdparm to disable sleep on the drive
[00:06] <EvilSush1> dizital: then try iwconfig ra0
[00:06] <kas> we'll see fi that helps
[00:06] <EvilSush1> dizital: and paste me what it says
[00:06] <dsnyders> jacko, that's not what I want to do.  I want to rename Season 1 to Season01, Season 2 to Season02, Season 3 to Season03, etc.
[00:06] <jacko> if root owned be careful but ......................... sudo xterm  ........................................ be VERY CAREFUL
[00:06] <EvilSush1> sam-_-: not every distro uses sudo
[00:07] <sam-_-> EvilSush1, you know what i meant ;)
[00:07] <g11992> yeat:http://paste.ubuntu.com/554903/
[00:07] <jacko> dsnyders: looks like you need regex
[00:07] <dizital> when i type in the essid it gives me, error fetching interface information: device not found even though it came up on the scan
[00:08] <g11992> yeat: are you there sir?
[00:09] <EvilSush1> dizital: these are the commands you need to get it working. iwlist , iwconfig , dhclient, ifconfig.. Make sure your networking device is up.. Does it have any encryption? If so you need wpa-supplicant
[00:09] <yeats> g11992: yep
[00:09] <Daniel> g'day all :)
[00:09] <EvilSush1> dizital: wpa-supplicant is a horse of a different color -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263136

[00:11] <m4v> TheBeige: I'm looking around but I can't find anything that would help you :/
[00:11] <yeats> g11992: I'm assuming you typed this out rather than pasting?
[00:11] <dizital> EvilSush1: when i was installing the drivers i enable it has i was installing it

[00:12] <yeats> g11992: try doing 'sudo apt-get -f install' and please paste the output
[00:12] <EvilSush1> ssbpls: whats the permissions on the file?
[00:12] <sam-_-> EvilSush1, i guess
[00:12] <Roasted> Does anybody else find VLC sometimes has poor audio playback? Every now and then when watching a concert, whether it be MKV or AVI or whatever, I'll her a split second "pop" or mute in the audio, yet the video is fine. Movie Player with these SAME videos = perfect...
[00:12] <dizital> EvilSush1: http://pastebin.com/4ZWarY1J
[00:12] <purpley123> ilovefairuz, Says I already have the newest version and nothing was installed/removed and upgraded
[00:12] <ilovefairuz> purpley123: reboot and check the network
[00:13] <g11992> yeats: ok, i will do, sry
[00:13] <jacko> i don't use vlc use built in on gnome
[00:13] <ssbpls> i have use my recovery model to find this file. but it isn't there!
[00:13] <purpley123> ilovefairuz, Alright
[00:13] <Zoresvit> Roasted: works fine for me, but I really lack the feature of starting from last playback position
[00:13] <dsnyders> Got it!  rename -v 's/\ /0/' Season*
[00:13] <ssbpls> the system has told me that it is in the /home/ssbpls
[00:13] <g11992> yeats: may i insert the modem or without inserting it?
[00:13] <Roasted> Zoresvit, have you actually cranked up the volume on say, a live concert, and watched it on VLC?
[00:14] <EvilSush1> ssbpls: ls -lah /home/user/ whats the permissions on the .ICEauthority file?
[00:14] <sam-_-> Roasted, i don't have the problem. but you could try setting a higher buffer and selecting a different audio output driver
[00:14] <Roasted> sam-_-, how do you set a higher buffer?
[00:14] <ssbpls> there is no .ICEauthority file
[00:14] <sam-_-> Roasted, is the file on the network or local?
[00:14] <Daniel> Gah I'm going nuts... can't mount this bloody drive (internal SATA, 250G, NTFS), Ubuntu recognised it at first, no problems, then I moved around SATA ports, then I installed Win7 (seperate new drive) and it won't mount... et al :(. I can access it in Win7 but, says no errors. Ubuntu says "File system NOT clean", and refuses to mount, but can see it in the manager...
[00:14] <Roasted> sam-_-, local
[00:15] <jacko> /etc/mount or /etc/mnt
[00:15] <EvilSush1> ssbpls: uhh then try touching it and make sure it has your owner and 644 permissions
[00:15] <sam-_-> Roasted, then access modules -> file
[00:15] <sam-_-> Roasted, there is sth. called caching value
[00:15] <ilovefairuz> Daniel: boot to windows and "disk check" that drive
[00:15] <Roasted> sam-_-, access modules - file?
[00:15] <Zoresvit> Roasted: Not live concerts, but .mkv movies. everything seemed to be fine
[00:16] <Daniel> In windows atm, just did chkdsk, not a problem
[00:16] <Roasted> Zoresvit, good to know. one of my concerts is an MKV...
[00:16] <ilovefairuz> Daniel: ok then, boot back into ubuntu
[00:16] <Daniel> k... brb :P
[00:16] <yeats> g11992: not sure it matters for the error you posted... it's a package manager error that doesn't have much to do with connectivity
[00:16] <sam-_-> Roasted, prefs -> then select show settings all -> input/codecs -> access modules -> file
[00:16] <ilovefairuz> Daniel: hopefully you checked the right drive!
[00:16] <christhecoolboy> still not working ;'(
[00:17] <ssbpls> touch it ? and then how to find back my lost file? i have searched it that my file have been locked .
[00:17] <sam-_-> Roasted, ctl+p will give you prefs
[00:17] <nunya> why does my computer start off muted when I start it up?
[00:17] <Roasted> sam-_-, got it.
[00:17] <jacko> chkfs /dev/drive      where drive is drive and -t filesesystemtype is a possible option
[00:18] <sam-_-> Daniel, you don't hibernate windows, do you?
[00:18] <EvilSush1> ssbpls: you said its not there. So how can It be locked if its not there?
[00:18] <christhecoolboy> MCP79 High Definition Audio - MSI AE2020 - No sound, any more ideas... I REALLY need this pc, its the only one I could record let's plays on...
[00:18] <sam-_-> Daniel, if so, don't.

[00:21] <plut0> ilovefairuz: it is
[00:21] <sam-_-> christhecoolboy, this test doesn't work
[00:21] <daniel_> Ubuntu has 14s boot time... not bad :P
[00:21] <sam-_-> christhecoolboy, you have to test it another way
[00:22] <christhecoolboy> how?

[00:25] <daniel_> So the problem again: 250G HDD won't mount in Ubuntu, was recognised before SATA cables moved around. Recognised in Win7. Ubuntu DISK utility says "File system NOT clean", and mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdc1 is already mounted on /
[00:25] <shcherbak> ssbpls: and: less /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-mount-private.txt
[00:25] <daniel_> Win7 chdsk returned 100% A-ok

[00:26] <christhecoolboy> if I press M, it changes to MM
[00:26] <christhecoolboy> so I changed it back
[00:26] <quinnw> Would anyone here be willing to [try to] help me use my Wacom tablet with GIMP?
[00:26] <ilovefairuz> !ask | quinnw
[00:26] <quinnw> Hehe.
[00:27] <sam-_-> daniel_, then try ntfsfix but i hope you have a backup of the data in question :-)

[00:27] <shcherbak> ilovefairuz: That was stange.
[00:27] <daniel_> But the drives fine? :P
[00:27] <quinnw> I did ask.
[00:27] <daniel_> Its obviously an Ubuntu  problem
[00:27] <christhecoolboy> quinnw, you have to explain your problem
[00:27] <sam-_-> daniel_, it is ntfs, right?
[00:27] <ssbpls> shcherbak:http://paste.ubuntu.com/554912/
[00:27] <daniel_> unfortunately, yes
[00:28] <christhecoolboy> like you dont say "help me with this problem"
[00:28] <quinnw> Hmm but I suppose you're going to need more info
[00:28] <christhecoolboy> you explain whats wrong exactly

[00:29] <daniel_> I fixed it
[00:29] <daniel_> I removed the lines in fstab
[00:29] <Guest46619> #string
[00:29] <daniel_> For it
[00:29] <daniel_> And then remounted it
[00:29] <daniel_> worked
[00:29] <FloodBot4> daniel_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:29] <quinnw> Before I do, I should mention that I'm not using Ubuntu. So feel free to stop me now.

[00:29] <daniel_> In 1 line (lol): Removing the lines in fstab, then remounting it worked a beaut... no idea why?
[00:30] <christhecoolboy> quinnw, a lot of us do not know other OS, but we would like to know what OS u have

[00:30] <christhecoolboy> sam-_-, I was not asking him, I was asking everyone
[00:31] <shcherbak> christhecoolboy: slax is other linux camp, and it is not "slax wtf" but SLAX FTW
[00:31] <sam-_-> christhecoolboy, ok then :-)
[00:31] <yeats> g11992: I'm assuming the delays are because you only have one computer and you're having to reboot into ubuntu, then back into Windows?
[00:31] <quinnw> I'll pop over to offtopic in a bit here. Thank you for the advice!
[00:31] <yeats> g11992: just checking ... ;-)
[00:31] <sam-_-> shcherbak, slax != slackware

[00:32] <yeats> g11992: ok - I'll keep that it mind ;-)
[00:32] <christhecoolboy> sam-_-, any ideas?
[00:32] <christhecoolboy> sbout this problem
[00:32] <shcherbak> sam-_-: lazy on typing, and in that moment it didnt matter
[00:33] <quinnw> Needless to say, while there are things I appreciate about Slack, I'm less likely to get help with the little stuff there.

[00:35] <jayd3e> how do i change which python interpreter is called.  I have added `/opt/Python-2.6.4/bin` to the front of my PATH, and done a source ~/.profile, but it is still calling the python located at /usr/bin
[00:35] <sam-_-> do NOT feed the troll :-)
[00:35] <Omega11> i didn't like it because wow wouldn't install

[00:49] <mas> hi
[00:49] <shcherbak> !abs | Idol_Mind
[00:50] <ilovefairuz> webPragmatist: doesn't matter as long as access control is maintained
[00:50] <ilovefairuz> webPragmatist: i would use mercurial (hg) though ...
[00:50] <webPragmatist> ilovefairuz: okay… thanks
[00:50] <Idol_Mind> shcherbak, thanx
[00:50] <xorwhy> is there a way to scan for wireless networks in such a way that only returns WEP encrypted networks?
[00:50] <butch128> Is OCFS2 broken on ubuntu 10.04 server?
[00:50] <webPragmatist> ilovefairuz: no thanks
[00:51] <sam-_-> christhecoolboy, maybe you missed sth. in alsamixer? i don't have a better idea right now
[00:51] <webPragmatist> :)
[00:51] <ilovefairuz> webPragmatist: all the best :)
[00:51] <christhecoolboy> how do I do that?
[00:51] <webPragmatist> is there like a vim tutorial video tutorial ideally
[00:51] <ilovefairuz> webPragmatist: youtube?
[00:51] <Thopter> How do I adjust the limits to the size a window can maximize to?
[00:51] <jacko> how do you install openJDK security keys?
[00:52] <webPragmatist> ilovefairuz: ya they are pretty mixed though
[00:52] <precubcr> please, anybody can help me ? i hhave installed my kubuntu 10.10 but after update , and restart happens this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr-853V83r8
[00:52] <shcherbak> xorwhy: iwlist wlan0 scanning | grep WEP (more versalite command will give nicer results).
[00:52] <christhecoolboy> webPragmatist, if you are gonna record tutorials, I'd suggest blip, I heard they have up to 30 min videos at a time?
[00:53] <xorwhy> shcherbak: iwlist scan returns no lines with pattern WEP
[00:53] <sam-_-> xorwhy, try with grep -i
[00:53] <christhecoolboy> sam-_-,  "christhecoolboy, maybe you missed sth. in alsamixer?" <<What do I do to fix that? I'm not that talented with alsa
[00:53] <Kevin147> I'm having trouble with Pidgin. I won't be doing anything with it, and it randomly freezes. When I type it freezes, it just keeps freezing. How do I fix this?
[00:54] <ilovefairuz> Kevin147: using desktop effects (compiz?) try disabling it
[00:54] <jacko> Kevin147: works fine for me, ICQ does not work though, so looks like I'll leave it
[00:54] <yeats> webPragmatist: http://vimcasts.org/about
[00:55] <webPragmatist> yeats: thanks!
[00:55] <Kevin147> jacko: I use xchat for icq. I use Pidgin for msn and yahoo and google.
[00:55] <sam-_-> christhecoolboy, hmm. maybe it is easiest if you post a screenshot of alsamixer.
[00:55] <Kevin147> ilovefairuz: yeah its on, but I need it on in order for docky to work. It just started doing this a few days ago.
[00:55] <Thopter> I want to limit how big firefox and other windows get when maximized. How do I do this?
[00:56] <christhecoolboy> sam-_-,  would you like to teamview with me?
[00:56] <christhecoolboy> at least then you can have control
[00:56] <christhecoolboy> and know what your doing
[00:56] <sam-_-> christhecoolboy, ok. we can do that too
[00:56] <christhecoolboy> PM me please
[00:56] <christhecoolboy> I dont wanna give my teamview out

[00:57] <Nexxus> if i put a program in /etc/init.d/ will it run every time i execute the programs name in a shell?
[00:58] <pgpkeys> err, sorry meant that for the other chan
[00:58] <ilovefairuz> Kevin147: this will remove your current configuration settings and you will have to reconfigure again: rm -fr .purple    ... perhaps something is wrong in there
[00:58] <g11992> yeats: its really a bug. the given link do not have any commands. will u help me in this. also, can i connect the internet through any port in internet centers and download the required software like wine?
[00:58] <yeats> Nexxus: it will execute every time the computer starts
[01:00] <Nexxus> yeats: where do i put my program if i just want to be able to run it like program_name in a shell instead of having to navigate to a directory and ./program_name
[01:00] <yeats> g11992: if it's a bug, there's nothing I can do, sorry
[01:00]  * yeats is not a programmer ;-)
[01:00] <ilovefairuz> Nexxus: in ~/bin
[01:00] <jcgs> Nexxus: it has to be in a location in $PATH
[01:00] <yeats> Nexxus: in your $PATH - you can create a directory in your /home called 'bin' and put the program there
[01:01] <mike> #/tv/shows
[01:01] <pgpkeys> if [ -d $HOME/bin ]; then export PATH = $HOME/bin:$PATH ; fi

[01:03] <Scunizi> I have kubuntu and ubuntu installed in different partitions.  Kubuntu shows up 1st on grub list and there is an error on ubuntu where I get interimfs.

[01:10] <soreau> ! help | ssbpls
[01:10] <yeats> g11992: when it works, it's great, but problems like yours are killers, especially if you're new... I think if you can find an alternative way to connect to the internet, Ubuntu would be really worth it
[01:11] <ilovefairuz> Thopter: http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie/
[01:11] <ilovefairuz> Thopter: there's a package for it
[01:11] <g11992> if it can be connected through a wired internet, can i install the modem later using internet?
[01:11] <yeats> g11992: very possibly

[01:14] <TuskRattle> Ig0r may ask why you want to hide your OS version
[01:14] <elky> TuskRattle, that doesn't mean you can be offtopic here.

[01:16] <EOF-sensei> libwebkitgtk seems to have disappeared in 11.04
[01:16] <Ig0r> tnx elky
[01:16] <induz> its tar.gz file
[01:16] <EOF-sensei> how might I install gimp?
[01:16] <ilovefairuz> EOF-sensei: sudo apt-get install gimp
[01:16] <nyRednek> ok, what tool do most here use to take screenshots, since xv isn't available
[01:16] <pgpkeys> apt-get install gimp
[01:16] <pgpkeys> ilovefairuz: hehe
[01:16] <elky> Ig0r, if you get creepy questions like that again, feel free to mention it in #ubuntu-ops
[01:16] <EOF-sensei> ilovefairuz: I mean it depends on libwebkitgtk
[01:17] <EOF-sensei> and thus it won't work
[01:17] <ilovefairuz> !natty | EOF-sensei
[01:17] <induz> soreau, I am trying to install YamiPod
[01:17] <yeats> nyRednek: I use gimp, but you may not need something as complex as that
[01:17] <pgpkeys> ilovefairuz: you're too fast.
[01:17] <atxq> so just wanted to know if there is an equalizer available for alsa to ajust line-in audio?
[01:17] <EOF-sensei> bots make me want to rip my eyes out and stick them into my rectum
[01:17] <ilovefairuz> pgpkeys: the credit is ubottu's :)
[01:18] <pgpkeys> ilovefairuz: you knew the trigger :)
[01:18] <induz> soreau, it says YamiPod for linux uses FMODEx (http://www.fmod.org), a cross platform audio library
[01:18] <induz> I downloaded and extracted the file but unable to install
[01:18] <ilovefairuz> atxq: it's usually implemented within the audio player/software itself
[01:18] <atxq> I want to ajust the audio in firefox
[01:18] <EOF-sensei> I don't care how little you know about ubuntu, just point me to the right place
[01:18] <pgpkeys> EOF-sensei: basically the point is you're not going to get unstable help in here
[01:19] <induz> is there any s/w to install .tar.gz files
[01:19] <atxq> I need to ajust the audio in a live stream ustream/justin.tv
[01:19] <pgpkeys> the channel is for the official release. see the natty mailing lists for help relating to the unstable development version
[01:19] <induz> archieve manager is not capable
[01:19] <aeon-ltd> induz: not directly, in a one step way
[01:19] <atxq> unfortunately I cannot open it inside a player like vlc
[01:19] <induz> how can the>
[01:19] <yeats> !tar
[01:19] <atxq> so since it is inside the broswer, I wanted an equalizer to ajust the system line-in audio
[01:20] <nyRednek> yeah, i want something simple
[01:20] <nyRednek> i used xv on slackware, but obviously, that package doesn't exist on ubuntu
[01:20] <induz> I mean they write s/w on tar.gz extension and dont have a single program to install on a way
[01:20] <tulimaq> heya,is there any good M$ Autoroute alternative for ubuntu out there ?
[01:20] <atxq> ubuntu needs a default eqalizer to ajust the sound
[01:20] <pgpkeys> induz: no they dont write software on tar.gz. its a COMPRESSION format
[01:20] <nyRednek> induz: they package source code in a tar.gz
[01:20] <pgpkeys> not a package format
[01:20] <induz> aeon-ltd, How can i install this tar.gz files which i downloaed
[01:20] <R0b0t1> Hello, I am unable to connect to my hidden wireless network. When I attempt to connect, I am prompted for the encryption type. I enter this and the key correctly, but the widget in charge of connecting fails. There is no error message, it just prompts me again.
[01:21] <nyRednek> induz: and you can *always* build it
[01:21] <semitones> Hey  guys I'm sorry but it looks like I'm in a difficult spot... when I boot into Ubuntu, i'm taken to the CLI. GDM says it's already running, but in F8 all I see is a blinking cursor
[01:21] <pgpkeys> induz: you extract the file using file-roller or tar and then rfollow the readme
[01:21] <semitones> I'm not sure what to do from here
[01:21] <induz> nyRednek, Readme doesnt say much
[01:21] <nyRednek> induz: try ./configure
[01:21] <induz> nyRednek,  what is that??
[01:21] <nyRednek> induz: then, i don't know...make?
[01:22] <pgpkeys> it will tell you step by step how to build ing. usually ./configure && make && make install
[01:22] <nyRednek> induz: delete ubuntu and reinstall windows xp...you are obviously lacking the intellect to do basic unix software admin
[01:22] <pgpkeys> induz: i would suggest a bit of googling for autotools autoconf configure and make
[01:22] <induz> nyRednek, what is ./configure
[01:22] <jacko> there should be a c farts directory which gets filled with all symlinks to all libraries, and then cc would work out the box...
[01:22] <induz> nyRednek, i am learning
[01:23]  * nyRednek waits for kickban
[01:23] <semitones> what should I do to find out why my GUI isn't working?
[01:23] <pgpkeys> INDUZ: i would suggest a bit of googling for autotools autoconf configure and make
[01:23] <induz> nyRednek, I was on Xp and now i am on Lucid

[01:24] <pgpkeys> induz: do what i told you

[01:24] <semitones> tulimaq, when I boot up, I get the CLI instead of gnome. GDM says it's running, so I don't know what to do from here

[01:29] <ilovefairuz> Thopter: you can do it with a devilspie script, did you check the link?
[01:30] <Thopter> yep, I looked at it, and several other sites about it. It seems to only apply to individual windows as they are created, instead of a global setting affecting all windows the same
[01:30] <induz> ilovefairuz, hold on please let me figure it out where i downloaded it
[01:31] <semitones> tulimaq, alright, i'll give that a shot
[01:31] <Blueleaf> how does one remote desktop to a windows machine?
[01:31] <preecher> i have installed ndsiwrapper and i have downloaded my wireless drivers but i dont know how to insta
[01:31] <preecher> ll them now
[01:31] <ilovefairuz> Thopter: nope, devilspie scripts  can activate for any window
[01:32] <aeon-ltd> !ndiswrapper | preecher
[01:32] <induz> ilovefairuz, here http://i.imgur.com/Au2ve.png
[01:32] <Sunsp0t> Can someone recommend the most user-friendly remote desktop solution for Ubuntu?
[01:33] <Sunsp0t> Windows 7 actually has a very simple one - I was wondering if there was something equally as convenient for Ubuntu.
[01:33] <semitones> is there a new way to "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" or is that still what you do when X doesn't work
[01:33] <ilovefairuz> induz: right click on yam-linux.tar.gz, select extract here, then enter that folder, and click on YamiPod
[01:34] <robby> I am a complete n00b at linux, so i need some help with a problem im having.  some please pm me
[01:34] <tulimaq> Sunsp0t, teamviewer.com is easy to use
[01:34] <ilovefairuz> semitones: Xorg autoconfigures itself at unless you manually generate an xorg.conf file
[01:34] <semitones> robby, what seems to be the problem
[01:34] <ilovefairuz> !details | robby
[01:34] <semitones> ilovefairuz, ok, so I'll just back up and delete it :D
[01:35] <robby> ok i just installed xubuntu 10.10, and i know its not a resoluton problem, but i cant figure it out
[01:35] <induz> ilovefairuz, it says Could not open the file archive://file%253A%252F….tar.gz/yam-linux/YamiPod
[01:35] <robby> the screen (desktop) is off center, and the windows arer cut off and partially showing on the right side, and also the mouse has to be above watever im clicking.
[01:36] <Blueleaf> i need to know how to connect to my business computers which run windows
[01:36] <ilovefairuz> induz: right click on the file yam-linux.tar.gz in the FILE MANAGER and select extract here.. you should get a new folder named just yam-linux
[01:37] <ilovefairuz> Blueleaf: try Vino?
[01:37] <Blueleaf> vino?
[01:37] <induz> ilovefairuz, yes i got a new folder and but..
[01:38] <ilovefairuz> induz: inside of it there's a file called YamiPod, right?
[01:38] <induz> ilove yes
[01:38] <jacko> Blueleaf: what does your network folderlook like in the file browser?
[01:38] <ilovefairuz> Blueleaf: it's a viewer for accessing remote window desktops
[01:38] <induz> ilovefairuz, yes
[01:38] <ilovefairuz> induz: so click on it, anything happens?
[01:38] <fermulator> Blueleaf: i think gnome-rdp is the best
[01:38] <Blueleaf> i will look for it
[01:38] <induz> ilovefairuz, when i click that file it says Could not open the file archive://file%253A%252F….tar.gz/yam-linux/YamiPod
[01:38] <tulimaq> Blueleaf, teamviewer.com is probaly simplest way to do it .. works with firewalls also
[01:39] <Blueleaf> is it easy to set up?
[01:39] <drahx> using Samba, I was able to access 4/5 of my shared folders, but only on 1 machine, I restarted that machine and now cannot access any of my folders on any machine.
[01:39] <laserdance> morning,guys
[01:39] <drahx> good morning
[01:39] <tulimaq> Blueleaf, yes
[01:39] <ilovefairuz> induz: are you clicking inside the file manager? not the small window
[01:39] <fermulator> Sunsp0t: gnome-rdp is good, the best solution is using "rdesktop" from the command line
[01:39] <jacko> smb sucks, whats the nfs manager like now adays
[01:40] <induz> file manager ilovefairuz
[01:40] <ilovefairuz> Blueleaf: my bad, vino is a server not a viewer, i mixed them up
[01:40] <fermulator> Sunsp0t: i.e. "rdesktop -u <username> -d <domain> -z -x m -f -a 16 -0 -T <title_name> <ip_address_to_connect_to>"
[01:40] <jacko> file browserin gnome on title bar isfilemanager
[01:40] <induz> ilovefairuz,  its under my /home directory
[01:40] <ilovefairuz> induz: take screenshot
[01:41] <drahx> I would give up on samba if I thought I could install Openssh, but one look into the installation instructions shows I'm way to much of a noob for that.
[01:41] <semitones> robby -- is it like the screen is too big for the monitor?
[01:41] <fermulator> drahx: suggest configuring samba server w/ "Webmin", it's way easier to deal with
[01:42] <semitones> robby?
[01:42] <ilovefairuz> drahx: sudo apt-get install openssh-server   .. and it's done
[01:42] <jacko> run IIS on a windows machine, place all shares as under the http service directory, and limit access to local net and download onto ubuntu using chrome or such
[01:42] <stealthc_> is there a way that I can forcefully resize a fat32 file system to having 0 free space? (to get dd to be efficient)
[01:42] <robby> semitones:  i know its not a resolution problem, but i really dont know how to explain it.  its like the desktop is to big, not the screen itself.
[01:42] <fermulator> can Windows machines access the server w/ openssh-server?
[01:42] <induz> ilovefairuz, http://i.imgur.com/35lDI.png
[01:42] <semitones> robby, yes! that definitely happened to me once, and I was able to fix it
[01:42] <fermulator> If you're running a mixed OS network (Windows/Mac/Linux/Unix), samba is the way to go
[01:43] <semitones> but i'm not sure -- let me run a quick search
[01:43] <Scunizi> What command do I use on cli to find out the size of / and how much is used? in human readable format?
[01:43] <robby> kk
[01:43] <ilovefairuz> induz: show me the error that pops when you click the YamiPod file
[01:43] <stealthc_> command line only -- I don't want api for this, I thought resize2fs -f /dev/sda5 620M would work but fails
[01:44] <ilovefairuz> Scunizi: du -h   .. perhaps with --max-depth
[01:44] <ilovefairuz> man du
[01:44] <semitones> robby, ok it looks like the first step is to get the right graphics driver
[01:44] <Scunizi> thanks ilovefairuz
[01:44] <semitones> robby, what happened when you tried?
[01:44] <robby> i have a nvidia gforce 4
[01:44] <fermulator> Scunizi: "df -h /" or "sudo du -h --max-depth 1 /"
[01:44] <stealthc_> Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdc1
[01:44] <stealthc_> Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.
[01:45] <robby> semitones:  where do i find the correct driver? i looked, but couldnt find it.
[01:45] <semitones> robby, the thing to do is go to System>Administration>Additional Drivers
[01:45] <semitones> robby, and see what the program suggests
[01:45] <Scunizi> fermulator: that worked much better.. it shows I have 9.7g and 8.3 used.. now how do I identify what's taking all that space?
[01:46] <fermulator> Scunizi: "disk usage analyzer" is a great graphical tool that comes with ubuntu
[01:46] <Scunizi> fermulator: yes.. however I'm on kubuntu
[01:46] <fermulator> Scunizi: Menu --> Accessories --> Disk Usage Analayzer
[01:47] <induz> ilovefairuz, now its doing nothing when i click on it
[01:47] <fermulator> Scunizi: the binary is called "baobab"
[01:47] <hasee__> i
[01:47] <hasee__> hi
[01:47] <fermulator> Scunizi: if you can't install that in Kubuntu, then use "sudo du -h --max-depth 1 /", and traverse recursively.
[01:47] <ilovefairuz> induz: open a terminal, and type: cd yam-linux; ./YamiPond
[01:47] <H3r0> can someone help me?
[01:47] <Scunizi> fermulator: I think kdirstat is the kde version
[01:47] <H3r0> I don't know why can't I hibernate my pc
[01:48] <robby> semitones: it says i have a nvidia accelerated graphics driver, but still have the same problem, and cant play any games (ie: open arena)
[01:48] <fermulator> Scunizi: i.e. run it on "/".  Find the largest directory., re-run again on "/LargestDir", find the largest dir in "LargestDir", re-run again on "/LargestDir/2ndLargestDir", etc.
[01:48] <robby> semitones: i can open the games, but they wont play correctly.  very choppy
[01:48] <H3r0> when I trun on my pc from hibernate I got black screen
[01:48] <H3r0> :\
[01:48] <Scunizi> fermulator: interesting.. k.. thanks
[01:48] <semitones> robby, ok -- is this your card? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeForce_4_Series
[01:49] <induz> ilovefairuz, I am on that directory
[01:49] <semitones> robby, do you know which is yours specifically?
[01:49] <ilovefairuz> induz: inside the terminal?
[01:49] <sacarlson> stealthc_: you can have it fixed with e2fsck
[01:49] <H3r0> ANYONE?
[01:49] <H3r0> :(
[01:50] <robby> semitones: it says on the tower that i have a nvidia gforce 4

[01:50] <fermulator> robby: "lspci | grep VGA"
[01:50] <H3r0> probably no :\
[01:50] <sacarlson> H3r0: does <alt><ctl> +f2 get you a console?
[01:50] <ilovefairuz> induz: ok: chmod +x YamiPod; ./YamiPod     ... any errors?
[01:50] <ilovefairuz> !anyone | H3r0

[01:51] <tensorpudding> H3r0: are you using an encrypted home?
[01:51] <Dakrav> i try to do /msg chanserv help flags, but it just says >chanserv< | help flags
[01:51] <H3r0> tensorpudding - no
[01:51] <Dakrav> i tried to do the same with +R
[01:51] <Dakrav> what am i doing wrong here?
[01:51] <induz> ilovefairuz, it says /yam-linux$  chmod +x YamiPod; ./YamiPod
[01:51] <induz> ./YamiPod: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:51] <semitones> robby, based on that link i gave you, the driver you should choose in the "additional driver" section is "nvidia-glx"
[01:52] <H3r0> tensorpudding - ????
[01:52] <jacko> H3r0: tensor as in n-D linear?
[01:52] <H3r0> jacko - I don't know
[01:52] <ilovefairuz> induz: sudo apt-get install  libstdc++5; ./YamiPod
[01:54] <ZykoticK9> induz, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/notes/libstdc-so-5-error
[01:54] <robby> semitones: it doesnt give me a list of drivers to chose from, it just tells me the one i have.
[01:54] <jacko> H3r0: google einestien tensor algebra
[01:55] <H3r0> jacko - how does it connect to hibernate?
[01:56] <induz> ilovefairuz, what should i do now
[01:56] <jacko> H3r0: it's a pudding thing........ what you trying to hibernate?
[01:56] <ilovefairuz> ZykoticK9: does 5 ship by default in maverick ?
[01:56] <ZykoticK9> ilovefairuz, NO
[01:56] <semitones> robby, i don't know what to tell you! there should be some way of seeing which driver you're using right now
[01:56] <H3r0> jacko - my ubuntu?
[01:56] <ZykoticK9> ilovefairuz, not in Lucid either
[01:56] <H3r0> jacko - my ubuntu!*
[01:56] <semitones> robby, to make sure it's nvidia-glx
[01:57] <ilovefairuz> ZykoticK9: so  isn't installing it first and trying a better course of action?
[01:57] <jacko> why does the standby not work enough, or is the booting process too slow?
[01:57] <ilovefairuz> induz: did you finish the package installation ?
[01:57] <ZykoticK9> ilovefairuz, sorry you lost me - i wasn't really following, just say the libstdc error
[01:57] <H3r0> jacko - when I trun on I got black screen
[01:57] <induz> ilovefairuz, error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:57] <ilovefairuz> ZykoticK9: i think he's just missing the package
[01:57] <Sunsp0t> Thanks for the recommendation guys!
[01:58] <jacko> H3r0: with flashing cursor?
[01:58] <ilovefairuz> induz: did you do this command: sudo apt-get install  libstdc++5
[01:58] <ZykoticK9> ilovefairuz, there is no libstdc++.so.5 package actually
[01:58] <induz> ilovefairuz, yes
[01:58] <ZykoticK9> ilovefairuz, it's been deprecated
[01:58] <ilovefairuz> ZykoticK9: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/libstdc++5/filelist
[01:58] <induz> ilovefairuz, i did this sudo apt-get install  libstdc++5; ./YamiPod
[01:58] <Blueleaf> well, fellas, gnome-rdp was incredibly easy, basically just like using windows, thanks
[01:58] <H3r0> jacko - yes
[01:59] <Blueleaf> i do get an error message when i quit though
[01:59] <jacko> it indicates a lack of a boot loader
[01:59] <IdleOne> semitones: lspci -v | grep driver
[01:59] <ilovefairuz> induz: why the extra "?" before lib
[01:59] <ZykoticK9> ilovefairuz, oh - well, i have no idea then - was an issue on Lucid (what i'm back to running) sorry, perhaps there is a package in Mav
[01:59] <semitones> IdleOne, thanks :D robby: try the command that idleone just posted
[01:59] <drahx> fermulator: You are my absolute hero, <3 Webmin
[01:59] <Blueleaf> anyone know what a bad atom is?
[01:59] <Sunsp0t> fermulator, where do I get gnome-rdp?
[01:59] <jacko> H3r0: it indicates a lack of a boot loader
[02:00] <robby> semitones: is that an i or an l?
[02:00] <semitones> IdleOne, he's got the problem where the desktop is bigger than his screen
[02:00] <H3r0> jacko - so what should I do?
[02:00] <IdleOne> semitones: or lspci -v (will give a lot more info)
[02:00] <sacarlson> joebob777as7: I think you can add the privlige to that user to mount external file systems by System>admininstartion>Users & groups advanced settings  user privliges tab
[02:00] <ilovefairuz> induz: no "?" before lib:  sudo apt-get install libstdc++5
[02:00] <semitones> Robb__, it's an L
[02:00] <jacko> H3r0: boot from a live CD and grub-install            it's not simple
[02:00] <semitones> oh the middle thing?
[02:00] <ilovefairuz> induz: when it finishes downloading and installation, do: ./YamiPod
[02:01] <H3r0> jacko - I know
[02:01] <semitones> robby, the middle thing is a pipe, it is \ with the shift key
[02:01] <IdleOne> robby: the | is shift+ \
[02:01] <ilovefairuz> ZykoticK9: looks like it's in lucid backports
[02:01] <H3r0> jacko - so what should I do?
[02:01] <chisholm> I'm having trouble getting sound to work in Totem (Movie Player).  Sound is working in Firefox for YouTube videos.  Can anyone help me out?
[02:01] <Sunsp0t> All: How do I set a program to run on boot? In Gentoo there's the rcupdate command which sets a service to a runlevel
[02:01] <robby> o ok
[02:01] <jacko> robby: pipe aka | is connect the output of the left to the input of the right
[02:02] <alberto> Do repositories stop working in older versions of Ubuntu?
[02:02] <Sunsp0t> I want to have Guake run on boot.
[02:02] <semitones> IdleOne, does getting the right driver usually fix that problem?
[02:02] <IdleOne> semitones: it won't hurt that is for sure
[02:02] <ZykoticK9> Sunsp0t, not at boot, at login - System / Preferences / Startup Applications should work.
[02:02] <IdleOne> alberto: yes
[02:02] <geegeegee> How would i see the CPU voltages in Ubuntu 10.10? lm-sensors doesnt show them.

[02:03] <Sunsp0t> ZykoticK9, nice, thanks! God Ubuntu is so much easier than Sabayon.
[02:03] <robby> semitones: wat do i do after that?  sorry for all the ?'s but im new to linux lol

[02:03] <semitones> robby, what dfiver does it say you're using

[02:04] <geegeegee> How would i see the CPU voltages in Ubuntu 10.10? lm-sensors doesnt show them.
[02:04] <semitones> IdleOne, this site says the latest nvidia driver is broken -- have you heard that? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[02:04] <wingnut2626> Hi guys.  I have a question about audio formats.  Is it possible to change a mp3 file into a wma file?  And if so, how would I go about doing it.
[02:05] <induz> ilovefairuz, thanks a lot and i learnt a lot
[02:05] <Sunsp0t> red2kic, You are right! However, Sabayon aims to be the best of both worlds by offering, in essence, an Ubuntu-like overlay with a package manager. The problem is, when things break, I'm f*cked.
[02:05] <BufferUnderpants> I ask because there was a tutorial for lucid back then, but I didn't have much success with it.
[02:05] <IdleOne> semitones: install nvidia-current, reboot and see if that helps.

[02:06] <robby> what is pastebin?
[02:06] <Sunsp0t> I must say, though, that Sabayon is a very, very beautifully done distro - many of your would LOVE it. It's OOTB functionality is better than Ubuntu and it handles compiz far more smoothly.
[02:06] <semitones> robby, alright we'll try to install nvidia-current and see if that fixes the problem
[02:06] <craigbass1976> Is there a way to stop someone from getting on the network in dhcpd.conf?  by mac address?
[02:06] <robby> semitones:  ok
[02:06] <ilovefairuz> robby: read what ubottu is saying
[02:06] <semitones> robby, it's a website that lets you paste a lot of text, so it doesn't flood the channel here
[02:06] <Sunsp0t> robby, pastebin is a way of quickly pasting text/code and having a link made for oyu.
[02:07] <robby> oooo ok  thx
[02:07] <geegeegee> How would i see the CPU voltages in Ubuntu 10.10? lm-sensors doesnt show them.
[02:07] <Sunsp0t> pastebin.ca (the canadian version) is faster IMHO.
[02:07] <bfreis> Hi, I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed, and yesterday I installed kubuntu-desktop using the Synaptic Package Manager. I'd like to completely remove kubuntu-desktop, along with KDE and all the packages it came with. How can I do that?

[02:09] <EnigmaticCoder> Is there a way (perhaps in compiz) to fade a monitor to black with a hotkey?
[02:09] <EnigmaticCoder> I don't mean put it to sleep
[02:09] <EnigmaticCoder> But just hide the windows and wallpaper
[02:09] <ilovefairuz> induz: it doesn't need to be installed, if it wasn't for the errors, it would have run directly when you clicked on it or issued: ./YamiPod
[02:09] <induz> iolve i meant under what category this yamiPod was installed if its installed on my system at all?
[02:10] <Bing0> EnigmaticCoder, xbindkeys with a script can do thart
[02:10] <induz> ilovefairuz, so its not yet installed??
[02:10] <EnigmaticCoder> And I only want this applied to one monitor, not both
[02:10] <ilovefairuz> induz: nope, wasn't installed, it just runs out of that directory in  your home page

[02:11] <jimisrvrox> hey guys using 10.04 and trying to start a normal boot. I get to where it says starting up and usually where it will go to gdm, my monitor goes black and goes to sleep. Havent a clue as to what caused it. Tried to repair packages, that didnt work. Tried failsafe graphics mode, that didnt work. What can I do next to recover my Ubuntu install?
[02:11] <bfreis> Dammit, the automatic removal of Kubuntu won't work!
[02:12] <robby> semitones: what is the exact code i type in because that didnt work
[02:12] <Bing0> jimisrvrox, try removing/renaming your xorg.conf, reboot and let it reset
[02:12] <IdleOne> semitones: he may not have aptitude installed, it doesn't install by default anymore
[02:13] <jayd3e> doesn virtualenv create a new python interpreter?
[02:13] <semitones> robby, oh, in that case
[02:13] <jayd3e> or does it link to the one it is run from
[02:13] <bfreis> The information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome does not work for me.
[02:13] <semitones> robby, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-common
[02:13] <bfreis> apt-get says lots of things like: Virtual packages like 'freespacenotifier' can't be removed
[02:14] <bfreis> Any ideas?
[02:14] <semitones> bfreis, sounds weird! what did you do lol
[02:14] <IdleOne> robby: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[02:15] <semitones> IdleOne, oops :S
[02:15] <bfreis> I just copied and pasted the apt-get remove command along with its huge list of package
[02:15] <bfreis> *packages
[02:15] <semitones> maybe you don't have them installed?
[02:15] <bfreis> It also gives me errors like the following: E: Unable to locate package install-package
[02:15] <red2kic> EnigmaticCoder: "xset dpms force off"
[02:15] <jacko> robby: sudo apt-get update && apt-get install nvidia-current
[02:16] <red2kic> EnigmaticCoder: Use that -- Figure out how to apply to a single monitor. Perhaps.
[02:16] <webPragmatist1> has ubuntu added an upstart script for php5-fcgi?
[02:16] <robby> idleone: says its already the current version.  0 new, 0 upgrade, 0 everything
[02:16] <bfreis> Maybe, I have no idea.
[02:16] <IdleOne> robby: ok, that is a good
[02:17] <red2kic> EnigmaticCoder: http://tinyurl.com/4n7soaw :)
[02:17] <EnigmaticCoder> red2kic: I'd prefer a blank screen screensaver so there's no lag between turn off/on
[02:17] <IdleOne> next thing to check would be System > Preferences > Monitor and play with the settings some.
[02:17] <IdleOne> robby: ^^
[02:17] <yeats> bfreis: can you pastebin the full command and output at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and share the URL
[02:17] <yeats> ?
[02:17] <EnigmaticCoder> red2kic: That may be the best option, however ty
[02:17] <semitones> IdleOne, did we check to see if the driver is actually in use?
[02:18] <christhecoolboy> sam-_-,
[02:18] <IdleOne> semitones: he pasted agpart-nvidia
[02:18] <edrahn> I just installed ubuntu, and on the newly installed system I get "no init found"
[02:18] <edrahn> I've tried reinstall'ing several times and always get the same thing
[02:18] <semitones> IdleOne, ok -- I hadn't seen that before, so I wasn't sure if that meant he was using nvidia-current
[02:18] <edrahn> I md5sum'ed the DVD, anything else I should check?
[02:19] <IdleOne> semitones: he can also run nvidia-settings and adjust the display configuration
[02:19] <^Phantom^> If I wipe all partitions of an ntfs drive from within ubuntu, will I be able to reformat that drive as NTFS from within a windows system?
[02:19] <bfreis> yeats, http://paste.ubuntu.com/554938/
[02:19] <^Phantom^> Also, how can I wipe the drive deeply?
[02:19] <jacko> ^Phantom^: yes
[02:19] <Bing0> ^Phantom^, NTFS is a partition scheme, not a drive scheme but...yes you can :)
[02:19] <^Phantom^> I want to wipe this drive good
[02:20] <^Phantom^> There's a virus on it
[02:20] <^Phantom^> that really effed up its os
[02:20] <semitones> IdleOne, yeah, because if he's using the binary driver, the monitor menu option doesn't work
[02:20] <robby> idleone: there is no preferneces under system
[02:20] <red2kic> edrahn: I'm looking at few possible solutions. Did you fsck your hard drive? (I used "ubuntu, no init found, solved" for google)
[02:20] <ZykoticK9> Bing0, actually NTFS is a file-system, separate from partitioning
[02:20] <sacarlson> edrahn: does that mean you don't get as far as grub?  I think you chose the wrong device to install your  mbr  try /dev/sda
[02:20] <^Phantom^> but the computer it was originally in has a toasted mobo
[02:20] <Bing0> ^Phantom^, you should be good to go using ubuntu live cd for that
[02:20] <edrahn> red2kic: yep
[02:20] <^Phantom^> i'm in ubuntu 10.10 full install right now
[02:20] <Bing0> ZykoticK9, true.   just tried to clarify ntfs dont sit on a drive as a partition. :)
[02:20] <^Phantom^> I think I'm finally ready to "nuke the drive"
[02:21] <Bing0> err.. leme rephrase :P
[02:21] <edrahn> sacarlson: I install fine. and it loads grub
[02:21] <edrahn> but the kernel dosn't load
[02:21] <robby> ill be right back, let me restart and see if anything happens
[02:21] <semitones> robby, try running "nvidia-settings" from the terminal
[02:21] <^Phantom^> I don't dare reboot to the windows drive until this drive is NUKED
[02:21] <sacarlson> edrahn: did you have a linux system before you installed this one?
[02:21] <robby> semitones: how do i do that?  "run"?
[02:22] <^Phantom^> I don't want to take any chances of this virus getting over to this machine's windows install
[02:22] <edrahn> sacarlson: yep
[02:22] <Bing0> robby, you can hit ALT-F2 as well
[02:22] <IdleOne> robby: it should be the first option under the System menu tab
[02:22] <^Phantom^> it's a nasty little bugger that destroys any program that tries to find and delete it
[02:22] <edrahn> and it locked up, when I rebooted I get this
[02:22] <semitones> robby, just type it and press enter
[02:22] <IdleOne> robby: type and hit enter: nvidia-settings
[02:23] <bfreis> yeats, if I remove the packages listed as errors from the list of packages to remove, then apt-get can proceed
[02:23] <bfreis> however, it seems that it will remove gnome also!
[02:23] <jacko> ^Phantom^ looks like it had allyour file data for however long you had it
[02:23] <sacarlson> edrahn: sounds like grub still points to the old kernel,   with live boot see that your /boot kernel and init.?  match that as seen in grub entry
[02:23] <^Phantom^> I immediately stopped using that drive when the virus hit
[02:24] <^Phantom^> i've finally got all the stuff i wanna keep off of it
[02:24] <robby> idleone:  it says "you do not appear to be using the nvidia x driver. please edit your x configuration file, and restart the x server.
[02:24] <^Phantom^> and i'm ready to nuke the drive good
[02:24] <mbgray> hey, I'm looking for a package in the ubuntu partner's repo, it shows up on launchpad but not in the repo
[02:24] <mbgray> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/swftools/0.9.0-0ubuntu2
[02:24] <mbgray> what am I doin' wrong :(
[02:24] <jacko> ^Phantom^ it hit when detected, it could have been on long before that until it was detected
[02:24] <ZykoticK9> robby, in a terminal "sudo nvidia-xconfig" then log out and back in.
[02:24] <^Phantom^> No
[02:24] <^Phantom^> I remember when I got it
[02:24] <^Phantom^> I remember opening the file that had it
[02:25] <IdleOne> robby: not sure what to do now
[02:25] <gaspar|work> Is there a way to get httpd in ubuntu instead of apache2 (I know it's the same thing, I';m just used to httpd from centos)?
[02:25] <semitones> IdleOne, maybe delete xorg.conf and try rebooting?
[02:26] <jrib> gaspar|work: no
[02:26] <jacko> ^Phantom^ dont keep any executables
[02:26] <IdleOne> robby: make sure you have Visual effects enabled in System > Prefs > Appearance.
[02:26] <^Phantom^> oh nononono
[02:26] <^Phantom^> not a chance
[02:26] <Bing0> gaspar|work, should be able to install np
[02:26] <IdleOne> semitones: that might help, really not sure, it would create a blank xorg
[02:26] <gaspar|work> Bing0, Just install it from source?
[02:26] <jacko> ^Phantom^ stick with ubuntu and use wine :)
[02:26] <jrib> gaspar|work: just use apache2...
[02:26] <^Phantom^> I have this machine set up with dual-boot
[02:26] <Bing0> gaspar|work, try sudo apt-get install httpd
[02:27] <^Phantom^> Because there's certain things I can only do in windows itself. ;)
[02:27] <jimisrvrox> Bing0: besides editing the xorg.conf file what can cause xorg failures?
[02:27] <bfreis> yeats, looks like the information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome is out of date
[02:27] <semitones> IdleOne, i'm still not sure if he's using the right driver -- the community docs say that geforce4 should use "nvidia-glx"
[02:27] <red2kic> Bing0: You're a funny guy. That package does not exist. :)
[02:27] <sacarlson> edrahn: another thing I just thought of is if you installed with a usb flash then sometimes those mount as /dev/sda  if that's the case then you might have needed to install grub mbr to /dev/sdb
[02:27] <yeats> bfreis: yep
[02:27] <Bing0> red2kic, hang on
[02:27] <gaspar|work> Bing0, Does not work, ther is no package httpd
[02:28] <semitones> IdleOne, or is that the same as nvidia-current
[02:28] <red2kic> gaspar|work: There are lighttpd -- I heard great things about it.
[02:28] <Bing0> gaspar|work, maybe you need to comp from src.  im not of my arena now :)
[02:28] <IdleOne> semitones: enabling from the Appearance menu should pull in the correct driver. I assumed he needed -current (my fault)
[02:28] <uberNewb> I've got some questions about installing Ubuntu on an abysmally old laptop
[02:29] <^Phantom^> ergh
[02:29] <semitones> IdleOne, these docs might be old -- i suspect that nvidia-glx is -current
[02:29]  * ^Phantom^ kicks the folder he's in
[02:29] <semitones> IdleOne, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCardsNvidia
[02:29] <^Phantom^> I just came across the file that gave me the virus, lol
[02:29] <sacarlson> uberNewb: if it's really old ubuntu might not be the best pick but you could try lubuntu  I think is what it's called
[02:30] <semitones> lubuntu is minimalist but runs like a charm!
[02:30] <uberNewb> Well, I've got to install on a laptopwith 64MB ram, 590MHz cpu, and 5GB hdd
[02:30] <nyRednek> lubuntu? lxde?
[02:30]  * nyRednek *gag*
[02:31] <uberNewb> Also, it won't boot to CD or USB
[02:31] <semitones> good luck with 64mb ram
[02:31] <semitones> better check if that meets lubuntu's min reqs
[02:32] <red2kic> uberNewb: You probably don't want to install any X11 with that.
[02:32] <uberNewb> I just need something. When I booted, I found malware-ridden Windows p
[02:32] <jacko> uberNewb, tinyx is a small x alike
[02:32] <uberNewb> Windows XP
[02:33] <semitones> ouch
[02:33] <semitones> xp with that little ram is :(
[02:33] <yeats> uberNewb: puppy linux (but this is off-topic ;-) )
[02:33] <uberNewb> So, should check out lubuntu, puppy linx, or tinyx?
[02:33] <^Phantom^> Okay, I have unmounted the drive
[02:33] <semitones> uberNewb, lubuntu is the most like a full install out of those
[02:33] <craigbass1976> Is there a list of webcams somewhere that are known to work in lucdid?  It's have to be a list of stuff I can find new in stores now.
[02:33] <yeats> uberNewb: I'd start with puppy
[02:33] <semitones> uberNewb, puppy is quite nice though
[02:34] <Bing0> craigbass1976, best thing i did was googled the camera m ake/model with ubuntu 10.10
[02:34] <Bing0> or 10.04 and see what others experience.
[02:34] <uberNewb> Cool. As long as I can I can do C++ and Java dev that's enough for me.
[02:34] <webPragmatist1> how can i copy a dir without permissions, ownership but retain timestamps?
[02:34] <craigbass1976> Ok.  Have to do some recon in a store I guess.
[02:35] <sacarlson> uberNewb: even lubuntu requires 128meg ram
[02:35] <jrib> webPragmatist1: use cp and pass the appropriate argument to --preserve?
[02:35] <Bing0> webPragmatist1, tar can do timestamps but not certain if u can filter permission and ownership
[02:35] <semitones> webPragmatist1, dumb question, but why not copy it and change the perms and ownership afterwards?
[02:35] <uberNewb> So, it looks like puppy is what I should go for then. Any tips for installing without external media?
[02:35] <webPragmatist1> jrib: thanks
[02:35] <webPragmatist1> semitones: easiers this way heh
[02:36] <semitones> lol as long as you get it to work :P
[02:36] <jacko> I remember 64MB linux with 6Gig disk, but that was minimal
[02:36] <semitones> uberNewb, the puppy website probably would be the best place to check for that
[02:36] <sacarlson> uberNewb: you could use usb flash to install or pxe netboot, ya maybe puppy
[02:36] <semitones> uberNewb, you might have to boot grub from a floppy or something like that
[02:37] <jacko> didn't qnx boot of a floppy?
[02:37] <Bing0> jacko, so does LOAF
[02:37] <nyRednek> what's a quick command to grab your screen resolution from X? i forget
[02:37] <webPragmatist1> does cp preserve  symlinks?
[02:37] <Bing0> nyRednek, PRNT-SC key
[02:37] <jrib> nyRednek: xdpyinfo | grep -i root
[02:37] <uberNewb> Thanks a lot everyone. I've never a lot of experience with linux on old systems. I appreciate the advice.
[02:37] <Bing0> nyRednek, oops..
[02:37] <jrib> nyRednek: erm, nope.  But grep something else :P
[02:37] <yeats> uberNewb: #puppylinux is the support channel
[02:38] <red2kic> nyRednek: xrandr ?
[02:38] <sacarlson> uberNewb: it's old so bios may not support usb flash install so also look at plop boot manager http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[02:38] <^Phantom^> okay, well, the drive is now empty
[02:38] <jrib> nyRednek: dimensions :)
[02:38] <semitones> jrib, i got gdm to work, but still not sure about that nmcli :P
[02:38] <^Phantom^> would it be better to create the ntfs partition within windows?
[02:38] <lithionlx> How to I create a process priority for an application at the same time i start it ?
[02:38] <jrib> lithionlx: use the "nice" command
[02:38] <Bing0> ^Phantom^, IMHO, yes
[02:39] <^Phantom^> Okay, thankies.
[02:39] <^Phantom^> I'll go do that after the format is complete.
[02:39] <webPragmatist1> cp -d preserves symlinks?
[02:39] <lithionlx> how can i be sure i am utilizing all six of my cores?
[02:40] <sacarlson> lithionlx: you should man nice
[02:40] <lithionlx> will do right now
[02:40] <jacko> lithionlx, run six processes?
[02:40] <ConstantineXVI> is there by chance anywhere you can get the ubuntu man pages offline in mobi or epub?
[02:41] <C3D> any thoughts on asus mobo's and ubuntu
[02:41] <milkman> Ned/leave
[02:41] <jacko> man2html is a good program
[02:41] <milkman> oops, ww
[02:41] <Bing0> C3D, mine works great
[02:41] <C3D> as ive read that at least the older ones dont work so well
[02:41] <Bing0> C3D, mine is ~5 years old
[02:41] <C3D> Bing what model is yours
[02:41] <Bing0> P5W-DH Deluxe
[02:41] <lithionlx> jacko, MS-Win had this nasty issue of telling the user, "even though you have 3+ cpu cores, you really dont need more than 2 unless i say so"
[02:42] <^Phantom^> Gosh, hope I didn't forget anything
[02:42] <C3D> i have a p4s800 and couldnt get it to work well
[02:42] <christhecoolboy> sam-_-,
[02:42] <^Phantom^> Because the drive is now empty.
[02:42] <^Phantom^> ^_^
[02:42] <lithionlx> i bypassed that in win to constantly utilize all 6 of my cpu cores
[02:42] <Bing0> ^Phantom^, please type wht you can on as less lines as possible.  enough going on in the chan.  thanks :P
[02:42] <lithionlx> i want to make sure i have that same processing power in Ubuntu
[02:43] <jacko> lithionlx, I think the kernal SMP did 16 max when I last looked at the SMPcode
[02:43] <Bing0> lithionlx, system monitor does see them right?
[02:43] <lithionlx> yes
[02:43] <Bing0> lithionlx, are you running irqbalance ?
[02:43] <^Phantom^> Sorry, Bing0
[02:43] <lithionlx> no
[02:43] <^Phantom^> I'm actually taking off now, to go format that puppy in windows :D
[02:43] <^Phantom^> Bye
[02:43] <Bing0> lithionlx, read up on it :)
[02:43] <sunshinepants> you could always run your own perf tests..
[02:43] <lithionlx> or "i dont know" is more likely the answer
[02:43] <Bing0> lithionlx, http://irqbalance.org/
[02:44]  * Bing0 playing Urban Terror...bbl
[02:44] <KaV> hello fellows general persistent question..  i generated a casper-rw file on my usb do i have to change anything to load that file on the kernel line BOOT=casper  ?
[02:44] <jacko> lithionlx, just run lots of heavy threaded code with bigger than 4K buffers between producers and consumers
[02:44] <KaV> do i have to target the rw file ?
[02:44] <nytek_> anybody have any luck with cs source in wine? cant get it to load the game
[02:44] <rakz> Does anyone know if there is still an associated channel for the old PSubuntu project? (devved for)
[02:45] <sunshinepants> nytek_: no
[02:45] <nytek_> sunshinepants: :(
[02:45] <Propel> when you dual boot ubuntu with windows, do you have to choose which OS to use every time you start up your PC in bios?
[02:45] <lithionlx> i think irqbalance is right for me
[02:45] <Genieliu> I install the ubuntu10.10,now I am in KDE,if I remove the gnome.Is my system become Kubuntu?
[02:45] <ssbpls> hello, everytime when i login the system something happened:"could not find the .ICEauthority file." and i find that the home dir is encrypted and the login password is deferent with the decrypted password . how to decrypted the home dir when i login the system? Or how to change the decrypted password?
[02:45] <edbian> Genieliu, yep
[02:45] <nytek_> Genieliu: lol, no.
[02:45] <lithionlx> i see now that i noobed all over myself with the cpu cores question...
[02:46] <lithionlx> its threading them all
[02:46] <sunshinepants> nytek_: sorry.. it's not atomic but i recommend running the game's os of choice on another partiiton, and multi booting
[02:46] <C3D> :S
[02:46] <nytek_> sunshinepants: i dont have that option. i really dont need it that bad
[02:46] <Propel> sunshinepants, do you have to choose which OS to use every time you start up your PC?
[02:46] <Propel> in bios
[02:46] <Propel> when you dual boot
[02:47] <iflema> !grub2 | Propel
[02:47] <Genieliu> nytek_: why not?
[02:47] <sunshinepants> Propel: yea with a default that is selected after a timeout..
[02:47] <randy_> Is this web ubuntu.org.cn any connect to ubuntu?
[02:47] <loicbidcactus> is ubuntu better than centos?
[02:47] <Propel> sunshinepants, can you make it so that you start ubuntu every time unless you choose otherwise?
[02:47] <lithionlx> i like ubuntu better than centos
[02:48] <lithionlx> i use centos5 at work
[02:48] <sunshinepants> loicbidcactus: it's really a nebulous question..  you can set up both dists to work like the other, or very close to one another.
[02:48] <rww> randy_: It's the website for the Ubuntu China Local Community Team
[02:48] <Dakrav> was wondering if any one knew if i could get firesheep on my ubuntu 10.04 laptop
[02:48] <lithionlx> yes
[02:48] <sunshinepants> Propel: yea that is how ubuntu will set up the boot loader if you install over an existing windows drive that has extra space..
[02:48] <randy_> rww, does it be knowd by ubuntu offical?
[02:49] <nytek_> Genieliu: because installing a new window manager doesnt change the distro name
[02:49] <Dakrav> does any one know how to get firesheep on ubuntu?
[02:49] <ether-boy> the sound on flash plugin is loud and scratchy although the system sound is perfect, what could be the reason?
[02:49] <sunshinepants> Propel: you also have to choose the option to install alongside existing os's during ubuntu's install..
[02:49] <rww> randy_: it's a community-based group that's approved by Ubuntu's Local Community Team Council.
[02:50] <Propel> yeah, i was thinking about installing windows first, and then ubuntu afterwards, but ubuntu having the majority of the HDD
[02:51] <sunshinepants> Propel: that will work well for you.. just give windows 1/2 the disk and then ubuntu will grab the rest of the disk when you install alongside existing os's
[02:51] <Zeu5> hi there, i got a ubuntu server 10.04 setup. and i bought a ssl cert. apparently i need to setup a CSR. can someone help me? i am not sure what is that or how to do it?
[02:52] <ssbpls1> i have solve my problem! i change my login password!
[02:52] <Propel> sunshinepants, how do you give windows half the disk? do you partition it later after installing it?
[02:52] <ssbpls1> thankx
[02:52] <Propel> as an empty drive, and then installing ubuntu over it?
[02:52] <C3D> .gpart
[02:53] <ShapeShifter499> where can I get the sources for the latest ubuntu wine ?
[02:53] <C3D> yes you partition the drive
[02:53] <C3D> shrink the windows partition then add a new partion for ubuntu
[02:53] <randy_> rww, but they sell clothers with ubuntu logo,is it illegal?
[02:54] <Propel> thx C3D
[02:54] <Genieliu> nytek_: So it acts just the same with  using the Kubuntu
[02:54] <sunshinepants> Propel:  only give windows half the disk during its installation, or you can possibly resize the windows ntfs partition with a gparted live cd 0 http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[02:54] <rww> randy_: Depends on the circumstances. Ubuntu's trademark policy is at http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/trademarkpolicy
[02:55] <rww> randy_: There are contact links for the people who deal with that sort of thing, if you need to ask someone about it.
[02:55] <rww> (on that page, that is)
[02:55] <randy_> rww,thank you
[02:55] <nytek_> Genieliu: i think you're refering to the package system, in that case, yes.
[02:56] <Genieliu> nytek_: thx
[02:58] <sunshinepants> i've got a box with a dual boot windows xp x86 and ubuntu x64.  the xp os was installed to a raw partition via virtualbox on the ubuntu os.   i thought i might want to boot to the xp os natively but i've only done it once.. unless you know you need it i'd just use a normal disk image
[02:59] <Blueleaf> ok, im not smart, how do i upgrade to qt 4.7.1
[03:00] <Propel> thx sunshinepants
[03:00] <Propel> i didn' tknow you could decide how much windows can take up during the windows installation
[03:00] <nytek_> !update
[03:00] <Propel> i didn't know it was that customizable.

[03:01] <son_> hi
[03:01] <son_> weird
[03:02] <SmartViking> Hello
[03:03] <SmartViking> I have installed ubuntu 10.10, and after playing with the display managers a little the system went bananas
[03:03] <sunshinepants> i love bananas
[03:03] <SmartViking> it doesn't really do anything when i boot up, plumouth just stays there
[03:03] <KaV> me 2 can you lend me your pc ?
[03:03] <SmartViking> but i can use the tty's
[03:03] <ether-boy> the sound on flash plugin is loud and scratchy although the system sound is perfect, what could be the reason?
[03:03] <SmartViking> so my question is
[03:04] <sunshinepants> SmartViking: you get a blinking underscore?
[03:04] <homeccable> sup
[03:04] <claus> im just new to ubuntu and i got a question. I got a USB-Headset but the only way i can edit the soundoutput is via systemsettings and then multimedia -> Phonon and set priority. Is there an easier way to do so?
[03:04] <homeccable> DCC CHAT C:\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

[03:04] <SmartViking> sunshinepants: it says that it is starting display manager
[03:04] <SmartViking> but
[03:04] <SmartViking> i want the system to simply not start any display manager, and not launch X either
[03:04] <sbir0722> (that usee a secure  connectgion the website dont respons4
[03:04] <claus> and on the other hand the default input device is always set back to the intern soundcard so i cant record via the mic of my usbheadset. Any ideas how to fix this?
[03:04] <sunshinepants> SmartViking: any recent changes like updates / upgrades?
[03:05] <red2kic> !boot | SmartViking
[03:05] <red2kic> SmartViking: Use that to disable gdm.
[03:05] <SmartViking> how can i get the system to not launch a display manager like gdm or x at all on startup, but go right to the shell?
[03:05] <jacko> smartViking alt f2      init 3
[03:05] <SmartViking> jacko: thats all?
[03:05] <iflema> !nox | SmartViking
[03:05] <jacko> smartViking put init 3 in your startup
[03:06] <ShapeShifter499> is wine for ubuntu from the wine PPA   modified for ubuntu in anyway?  if so where can I get that modified source code?
[03:06] <sunshinepants> SmartViking: i'm surprised you couldn't find that answer online.  do you have your network setup via console as well?  i think network manager depends on the desktop session on default ubuntu
[03:07] <SmartViking> sunshinepants: iwconfig dude
[03:07] <jacko> init 5      starts an x session     init 6 shutsdown
[03:07] <sunshinepants> SmartViking: haha right but how many people know that
[03:07] <SmartViking> ubottu: i will try that
[03:08] <jacko> init 4 is not defined
[03:08] <jacko> init 1 is bootup
[03:08] <Curly_Q> What is the file that contains the Up arrow on the keyboard?  Is it a .bash file? I would like to delete or edit it.
[03:08] <jacko> init 2 i can't remember
[03:08] <rww> !runlevels
[03:08] <SmartViking> meh i can't get to grub
[03:08] <sunshinepants> !dogs
[03:08] <SmartViking> where was the grub config?
[03:09] <jacko> smartViking /etc
[03:09] <sunshinepants> SmartViking: which version?
[03:09] <sunshinepants> on recent: sudo vi /etc/default/grub
[03:10] <sunshinepants> && update-grib
[03:10] <Curly_Q> Windows has a version of the up arrow of the keyboard which remembers what the last entry was but Linux has a log file of all of the keystrokes.
[03:10] <sunshinepants> grub
[03:11] <SmartViking> sunshinepants: that did it
[03:11] <SmartViking> "GRUB_DEFAULT" <- what is that variable?
[03:11] <Propel> how do you guys like open office .vs MS office?
[03:12] <sunshinepants> Curly_Q: you're confusing me.. windows has 'doskey' which i think is a really simple app that remembers your buffer and offers it to you via the up arrow.. linux has similar functionality via the shell on most dists.. also accessible via the up arrow.  you can also use the 'history' command to view it
[03:12] <b0tz> Hi, I am using Linux Mint 10 (based off the ubuntu repositories) and i want to use apt-metalink to speed up my updates
[03:12] <b0tz> where can i find a list of mirrored repositories to add to sources.list
[03:12] <Flannel> b0tz: Your best bet is #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[03:13] <b0tz> Ive tried.
[03:13] <Curly_Q> Sunshinepants I think you are on the right path. It is a buffer file but it keeps a log file so if you re-boot the sys the log file everytime you hit the up or down arrow or key  you can see your entries.
[03:13] <gzm> grub and grub2 config file format is different
[03:13] <SmartViking> what should i set "quiet splash" to, i dont want the plymouth thing
[03:14] <b0tz> https://github.com/tatsuhiro-t/apt-metalink read on the bottom there, I am hjust looking for mirrors to add
[03:14] <sunshinepants> Curly_Q: yea.. it's pretty useful if you're doing a lot of exploring
[03:14] <Roasted_> uh, each time I open my home dir, it opens in movie player. uh... how to fix?
[03:14] <Curly_Q> Yes, but I need to edit that file though my good friend Sunshinepants.
[03:14] <shcherbak>  /join #tmux
[03:14] <shcherbak> sorry
[03:15] <Dakrav> found a way to get firesheep on ubuntu!
[03:15] <tulimaq> is there any "all i one" software solution for accounting, and resource planning for linux ?
[03:15] <SmartViking> ubottu: can i put that somewhere in the grub config?
[03:15] <SmartViking> oh
[03:15] <SmartViking> :/
[03:15] <Curly_Q> I didn't know that Linux had a History file somewhere. I know of a bash file though.
[03:15] <quizme> how can i tell if a hacker logged into my cmputer ?
[03:16] <edbian> quizme, How good of a hacker are they?
[03:16] <Curly_Q> I suppose I can grep | bash and see.
[03:16] <quizme> when i try to shutdown it says that somebody else is logged into my computer.
[03:16] <Roasted_> uh, each time I open my home dir, it opens in movie player. uh... how to fix?
[03:16] <edbian> quizme, You could look at /var/log/auth.log to see all the user logins
[03:16] <edbian> quizme, What is their username?
[03:16] <sacarlson> quizme: see /var/log/auth*  files
[03:16] <SmartViking> quizme: basically, each bash shell counts as a user
[03:16] <Guest39769> 不讲中文么？
[03:16] <KipMacy> how can i install ubuntu with it all on encrypted partitions ( boot , slash, swap ) , but only use part of the disk, not the whole disk ?
[03:16] <edbian> quizme, look at the output of who to see everybody logged in right now (you can be logged in more than once)

[03:18] <Bushman> yeats: one question... how do you distinguish chinese from japanese?
[03:18] <jimisrvrox> hey guys im wondering how I can get my sound back. Ive got headphones plugged in the right hole on the sound card and pavucontrol seems to say that my video is playing but no sound. any suggestions to getting sound going again?
[03:19] <Scott`> jimisrvrox maybe its trying to play with the wrong device
[03:19] <Bushman> jimisrvrox: maybe the output is wrong?
[03:19] <I_Vain_I> hi
[03:19] <Bushman> try to go to sound preferences
[03:20] <I_Vain_I> can someone help me with my problem?
[03:20] <Bushman> output tab
[03:20] <Bushman> I_Vain_I: not until you state one
[03:20] <yeats> Bushman: I've just seen enough of each to know :-)
[03:20] <Bushman> yeats: heh, just asking. i personaly know the diference cause i've studied japanese for very short time
[03:20] <Bushman> :P
[03:20] <I_Vain_I> I just installed Ubuntu, and it won't accept wireless connections. I've installed the driver it said to on the System > Administration > Additional drivers, etc
[03:21] <I_Vain_I> but nothing is working.
[03:21] <SmartViking> nice, got the text thing into the grub thing, no more plymouth or gdm. meh.
[03:21] <SmartViking> no wait a minute
[03:21] <SmartViking> it didn't work
[03:22] <edbian> I_Vain_I, Did you restart?
[03:22] <zetheroo1> Intel gfx .. cannot enable desktop effects
[03:22] <I_Vain_I> Yes, I've restarted multiple times.
[03:22] <Bushman> elint: well, thank you for telling me but who asked you to write that on my priv?
[03:22] <sacarlson> I_Vain_I: does the command iwconfig return anything?
[03:22] <zetheroo1> Intel 82852/855gm
[03:22] <I_Vain_I> l0/eth0 has no extensions, but eth1 does.
[03:23] <Bushman> anyway, good night
[03:23] <SmartViking> ok people, how was it that i started the system in run level 3
[03:23] <Bushman> i have a bluetooth mouse and since i've started to use it the bluetooth dongle dies on me every few seconds/minutes taking the mouse down on the way. here's the last few lines of dmesg: http://bushman.pastebin.com/uQh5nN1q Anyone?
[03:23] <sacarlson> I_Vain_I: maybe it works,  maybe the problem is network-manager,  try sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[03:23]  * Bushman is gone
[03:24] <SmartViking> how would i do that
 I_Vain_I: maybe it works,  maybe the problem is network-manager,  try sudo ifconfig eth1 up
[03:24] <I_Vain_I> i did that and nothing happened
[03:25] <sacarlson> I_Vain_I: nothing is good no errors,  so now sudo dhclient eth1
, what exactling are you looking for from that? it sent a few dhcpdescovers
[03:27] <sacarlson> I_Vain_I: yes and hopes of a connect
[03:27] <sacarlson> if you had a access point that was unencrypted
[03:27] <I_Vain_I> No dhcpoffers received / no leases
[03:27] <sacarlson> I_Vain_I: ok so what is your accesspoint set to?
[03:28] <I_Vain_I> No idea. >.> I'm not a computer person. :s
[03:28] <I_Vain_I> I'm used to Windows.
[03:28] <sacarlson> I_Vain_I: do you even have an access point that you hope to connect to?
[03:28] <snipe07> How much swap should I set up?
[03:28] <I_Vain_I> My router, if that's what you're asking.
[03:29] <wwwyzzerdd> my power manager has stopped detecting unplugged/plugged in state... it has worked for a year until recently, what's going on?
[03:29] <sam-_-> snipe07, depends on how much ram you got.
[03:29] <grendal_prime> ok this is going to sound stupid but...well ive just never had to do this before..is there a simple way to put a dvd into a ubuntu desktop machine and on another desktop machine run that disk?
[03:30] <sacarlson> I_Vain_I: yes your router in this case maybe you access point
[03:30] <snipe07> sam-_-: 4GB
[03:30] <sacarlson> I_Vain_I: does it have a name?  your router/access point?
[03:30] <I_Vain_I> The connection name? Yes.
[03:31] <sam-_-> snipe07, then i wouldn't use swap at all if you don't do anything fancy with your pc.
[03:31] <TomV-415> I tried to upgrade a computer from Ubuntu 10.04, to 10.10 and now I can't get it to work.  it appears the problem is that it is no longer seeing the drive partions.
[03:31] <sacarlson> I_Vain_I: try sudo iwlist eth1 scanning
[03:31] <snipe07> sam-_-: I shouldn't even set up a small amount? I have the space for it
[03:32] <TomV-415> does running 'grub-mkdevicemap' filx this?
[03:32] <sam-_-> snipe07, you can but i probably won't make a difference. i have 2 gb ram. no swap. do all the usual stuff. never had a problem.
[03:33] <TomV-415> I see lots of my partions in /dev/disk/by-id but only one line is in the /boot/grup/device.map file
[03:33] <rob_p> snipe07: anything more than 1-2GB of swap is a waste, but you should allocate some to give you some "buffer space", just in case...
[03:33] <sam-_-> snipe07, if you really have the space then just use like 10gb.
[03:33] <TomV-415> (I'
[03:33] <TomV-415> 'm working with a dual boot system)
[03:33] <snipe07> rob_p: so 512MB?
[03:34] <sam-_-> snipe07, btw. are you using the 64-bit or 32-bit version?
[03:34] <snipe07> sam-_-: lol
[03:34] <snipe07> 32-bit
[03:34] <rob_p> snipe07: I'd go a gig or so
[03:34] <ubutom> snipe07, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq
[03:34] <sam-_-> snipe07, then it won't make a difference unless you use the pae kernel anyway...
[03:35] <snipe07> sam-_-: alright, thanks
[03:36] <nyRednek> question, is there a unicode console(terminal) html browser out there?
[03:37] <ubutom> w3m for example
[03:37] <rww> w3m works fine for me with unicode.
[03:38] <twister004> hi guys.. i have setup mediawiki on my ubuntu machine... after some days now, it is not accessible.. how do i restart the mediawiki process?
[03:38] <twister004> i try to login to mysql using 'mysql -u root'... but it returns an 'access denied' message
[03:39] <yeats> twister004: try 'mysql -u root -p'
[03:40] <FireSam> I don't know if it matters but my network connections all don't update last used.
[03:40] <loicbidcactus> it says ubuntu is 17 gigabytes, and i have a 16 gb flash drive. what are my options?
[03:40] <FireSam> does that mean something is wrong?
[03:40] <jacko> twister004: your admin tables maybe, and root has no default authenticationover the <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:40] <TomV-415> any suggestions for fixing my 10.10 boot?  Again, I suspect the issue is my partitions, but where do I learn how to fix that?  Is the right place to start /boot/grub/device.map?
[03:41] <sam-_-> loicbidcactus, who says that?
[03:41] <loicbidcactus> Well im on ubuntus site attempting to download it. it requests i use a cd or flash drive, but i have neither that can hold 17 gigabytes
[03:42] <SmartViking> ok i can't figure out how to run the system straight into a shell instead of gdm
[03:42] <SmartViking> i am in x now
[03:42] <shcherbak> loicbidcactus: hm? Ubuntu insatll is 700
[03:42] <sam-_-> loicbidcactus, where are you getting the info about 17gb?
[03:45] <sam-_-> SmartViking, select recovery mode
[03:45] <beginer> hello everibody
[03:45] <gbear14275> Hello, I'm having problems trying to burn cd-r's...  I can't figure out whats going on, but I've gone through about 20 discs now with various issues from them not being recognized as inserted to an immediate error and ejection if the project starts.   Anyone heard of anything like this?
[03:45] <gbear14275> dvd+
[03:45] <gbear14275> 's work great btw
[03:46] <gbear14275> could this be a cd-r driver problem or something?  or are linux drivers by the drive itself?
[03:47] <kernalogs> try another batch number on the cd-r disks
[03:47] <gbear14275> kernalogs: another batch number?  You mean go buy others?
[03:48] <adam__> I'm using a Gateway Netbook that I purchased new a year or 2 ago.  Ubuntu works great except periodically the graphics fritz out.  Can anyone help?  I can provide a screenshot if needed.
[03:49] <kernalogs> they may be lookie like, but worky not like rip offs
[03:49] <SmartViking> sam-_-: I am trying to but gets there but continues to launch x and gdm and whatnot
[03:50] <gbear14275> kernalogs: hehe alright...  I'm troubleshooting them with another laptop to see if my gf's cpu has any issues with them
[03:50] <twister004> hi guys... im getting apache errors.. that's whgy the wiki's not loading
[03:50] <ActionParsnip> twister004: ask in #apache too (or whatever the channel is named)
[03:51] <gbear14275> kernalogs: hmm... hers is having no problems recognizing the discs...
[03:51] <adam__> my graphics have fritz out completely except this IRC window seems legible mostly
[03:51] <TomV-415> Can anyone point to a good reference or help me understand the 10.10 (grub2) boot process, especially what I need to fix so my booting process will recognize my drives?)
[03:51] <adam__> this has been happening to me a lot.
[03:51] <yechuah_> sup
[03:51] <gbear14275> I'm not even sure what would affect cd-r recognition...  Could be my drive I guess right?
[03:51] <yechuah_> #zentyal
[03:51] <twister004> errors:http://pastebin.com/sQQE5DKD
[03:52] <gbear14275> TomV-415: recognize your drives?  do you mean you have other OS's installed?
[03:52] <TomV-415> gbear14275: Yes, it's a dual boot configuration, with several partitions.
[03:53] <gbear14275> TomV-415: which OS is showing up and which isn't?
[03:53] <TomV-415> my current /boot/grub/device.map is only one line.. but I'm not sure if I should just edit that and if so what format to use
[03:53] <SmartViking> what the... now it suddenly worked?
[03:54] <SmartViking> It decided to not launch a display manager
[03:54] <TomV-415> gbear14275: At the initial grub startup, it shows all OSes (the various kernels of ubuntu and windows), but then when I try to launch ubuntu, after the first screen, it freezes (the dots all go to red)
[03:54] <gbear14275> TomV-415: hmm... sounds like its not a grub problem
[03:54] <gbear14275> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[03:54] <TomV-415> gbear14275: Given the error messages during the install, I'm guessing it just cant' find it's own files.
[03:54] <gbear14275> there's the info you asked for though TomV-415
[03:55] <gbear14275> TomV-415: can you boot into single user mode?
[03:55] <gbear14275> TomV-415: get a root prompt?
[03:55] <TomV-415> gbear14275: thanks for the info.  I can boot via recovery mode to a command line.
[03:55] <witeshark> anyone have advise: i was touring appearance themes and now my window buttons are on the right - how can i get them back to the left?
[03:56] <xangua> witeshark: metacity --replace
[03:56] <TomV-415> gbear14275:  so yes, I can got to a root prompt
[03:56] <gbear14275> TomV-415: ok, then all the new grub2 needs to rebuild itself is a 'update-grub' command run at terminal and it rebuilds itself normally
[03:56] <witeshark> xangua, thanks!
[03:57] <Sakr2008> is it possible to add a usb webcam to a laptop with a built in cam?
[03:57] <gbear14275> Sakr2008: I don't see why not... is it easy?  thats another question ;)
[03:57] <xangua> Sakr2008: if the cam is supported
[03:57] <TomV-415> gbear14275: I'll give that a shot!  Thanks.

[04:12] <red2kic> adam__: http://tinyurl.com/2bt6u6r
[04:12] <MadRobot> Hi all
[04:12] <red2kic> adam__: You see how I highlighted nvidia? That's from the second (correct) command. If you see nothing -- well, you got no nvidia, me think.
[04:12] <MadRobot> How do I solve a BADSIG problem?
[04:13] <x_> Just built an i3 machine for ubuntu 64 but which sensor out of the 3 is the cpu temp how do I tell ?
[04:14] <red2kic> x_: Paste your sensors. We'll try to figure it out? :(
[04:15] <adam__> red2kic:  yea, I get no output from lspci | grep -i nvidia :(
[04:15] <red2kic> adam__: :(
[04:15] <adam__> your desktop looks nice
[04:16] <MadVector> adam try this: lspci | grep -i VGA
[04:16] <adam__> I'll try searching gateway + linux
[04:16] <MadVector> maybe it tells us what u have:)
[04:16] <adam__> ah cool, lets see

[04:18] <al_nz1> any sed experts here?
[04:18] <al_nz1> I need something like : http://pastebin.com/H7Tg1cCM : to convert trying to get a string of latitude longitude from degrees minutes decimal minutes - ie "36 48.528 S,175 06.945 E" - to degress minutes seconds decimals secdonds, ie "-36 48 31.68, 175 06 56.7"
[04:19] <red2kic> x_: Meh. I have no idea. I only know they should be cooled regardless of locations. :O
[04:20] <red2kic> wow: No. I did update my bios -- the linux way. It took some time to figure out how to get it done.
[04:20] <x_> red2kic, well I got 2 case fans and cpu cooler it should be fine.
[04:20] <x_> red2kic, bios shows its temp so should ubuntu ;\

[04:22] <speeqs> hey there, im a begginer.   I'm trying to get sound working, and i realized that everything is muted by default.  unmuting in alsamixer made the sound work as expected.  after a reboot, no audio now.  everything still shows unmuted in alsamixer.  any suggestions?  blegh
[04:22] <red2kic> wow: You want the MSDOS flash -- Not that GUI stuff. Check Acer website for flash bios (in msdos).
[04:22] <shcherbak> speeqs: /join #cannel

[04:24] <kwtm> Hi! How can I take advantage of the extra buttons on my mouse, which apparently in Windows are for "forward" and "back" on the web browser? (They are on the left side of the mouse.)  I use Kubuntu 10.04.
[04:24] <x_> red2kic, seems its a problem in ubuntu
[04:24] <red2kic> x_: You ran sensors-detect?
[04:24] <red2kic> x_: Something of that command.
[04:25] <x_> red2kic, yea
[04:25] <wow> red2kic: msdos flash??
[04:25] <rodolfo> holaaa
[04:25] <x_> red2kic, actually not ubuntu but lm-sensors cant read temp from i3 I guess is what im finding on the internet
[04:26] <red2kic> wow: acer aspire 4315 <-- Laptop? Netbook? Desktop?
[04:26] <kwtm> akephalos: Not sure why you are having that problem, but I can think of a few suggestions.  First one
[04:26] <kwtm> akephalos: first one is: mute everything in alsamixer, then unmute.
[04:26] <akephalos> i did that, no change
[04:27] <disappearedng> Hey everyone, I am seeing this error, and the "rough" instructions are given, can someone tell me how do i mount /dev/shm from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3314031/django-celery-implementation-oserror-errno-38-function-not-implemented
[04:27] <kwtm> akephalos: Incidentally, why "akephalos"?  Like, "I have no head"?
[04:27] <wow> red2kic: netbook...this is the download site http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_4315.html
[04:27] <akephalos> kwtm: exactly, headless
[04:29] <ez2hate> Is there a way to return an Ubuntu Server Edition install to its out of box state short or reinstalling completely? I'd like to get rid of all the packages I've installed and any modifications I've made and get back to just the virtual machine host so I can start playing with that.
[04:29] <kwtm> akephalos: I guess I should change my name to anapaniyseis or something.
[04:30] <kwtm> akephalos: Which distro?  Ubuntu 10.10?
[04:30] <nytek_> so much support with ubuntu, i love it
[04:30] <nytek_> fully working macbook pro 2.2 ghz :)
[04:30] <smw> anyone know how to make an ami from an ubuntu install cd?
[04:30] <Bing0> ami?
[04:31] <Leif> I somehow managed to uninstall open office from my system (ubuntu 10.10), and now I can't seem to get it installed (via apt-get or software center), does anyone have any suggestions as to installing it again?
[04:31] <smw> Bing0, amazon ec2
[04:31] <Bing0> ah
[04:31] <kwtm> akephalos: Second: did you unmute all channels?  (Sometimes master is unmuted but "PCM" or other channels are muted).  Sorry if this is insulting your intelligence but I just want to get the basics out of the way.
[04:31] <Dakrav> i downloaded john the ripper, but i don't know what to do after that, can some one help me?
[04:31] <red2kic> wow: You don't want Winflash folder.  You need to give more details.    Does it say: "ERROR: I am on strike" or what?
[04:32] <Dakrav> Bing0: thanks
[04:32] <akephalos> kwtm: yes, 10.10
[04:33] <wow> red2kic: ok...just mount the files into usb, right?
[04:33] <red2kic> wow: Nope.
[04:33] <akephalos> and i unmuted everything to test, and then remuted, unmutting one by one
[04:33] <x_> akephalos, what kind of audio device
[04:33] <akephalos> im very comfortable with linux, just dont ever do much of the 'desktop' stuff like audio
[04:33] <smw> Anyone know how to install ubuntu to a fake root?
[04:33] <akephalos> i have two, a soundblaster, and a builtin
[04:33] <Leif> kwtm, lol, good point, this is what it says: http://pastebin.com/qizeN9tH
[04:33] <akephalos> no sound out of either
[04:33] <red2kic> wow: You need to format the USB into FAT16 (and there are filesystem limitation of FAT16 so you might not have room for all files plus FreeDOS.
[04:34] <ez2hate> guess I can't clean it back up without reinstalling completely, huh?
[04:34] <x_> akephalos, alsa/pulse audio?
[04:34] <akephalos> alsa
[04:34] <akephalos> no pulse
[04:34] <x_> akephalos, aplay -L and pastebin it
[04:34] <wow> red2kic: fat16???
[04:34] <red2kic> wow: It can be a frustrating experience. I did this for my little netbook. Just saying. I wanted you to be aware of that. Yeah, MSDOS. FAT16. :)
[04:34] <Dakrav> Bing0, i downloaded the john-1.7.6.tar.gz file, and i don't know what to do with it now, do i have to extract it or something?
[04:35] <bawn> where do i set up my DNS?
[04:35] <Bing0> Dakrav, yep tar -zxvf filename
[04:35] <Leif> kwtm, Also, when I try to install those packages manually, it has a similar error of not installing other packages.  Usually apt is happy to get all of the dependancies, so maybe it is on strike?  ;)
[04:35] <Bing0> then read the readme Dakrav
[04:35] <kwtm> Leif: Thanks for the pastebin.  I see that somehow openoffice.org-core is not going to be installed.  We need to see why: is it broken, or somehow there's an authentication issue, or what?  So, try "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core" and see what message you get.
[04:35] <xangua> bawn: clic on the network icon and edit your network settings
[04:35] <Bing0> Dakrav, FYI this is a ubuntu support channel.. hit their forums for help on that app
[04:35] <kwtm> Leif: I see.  Okay, let's see the specific error message when you install those packages manually.
[04:35] <Aleiex> hi, I want to start empathy withing typing the root password, any idea?
[04:35] <Dakrav> sorry Bing0
[04:35] <kwtm> Leif: Also, try "sudo apt-get -f install" (no package name) and see what happens.
[04:36] <bawn> xangua, nothing about dns there
[04:36] <nytek_> kwtm: what would that do?
[04:36] <red2kic> wow: You should try FAT32 first though. In my case, I had to use FAT16.
[04:36] <mbvpixies78> what would cause 3 different mouses to not work on 3 distros?
[04:36] <Bing0> mbvpixies78, usb ?
[04:36] <bawn> xangua, nvm
[04:36] <mbvpixies78> Bing0:  say more please
[04:36] <Bing0> mbvpixies78, usb mice ?
[04:36] <Leif> kwtm, Okay, first this sudo apt-get install -f: ng0> mbvpixies78, usb mice ?
[04:37] <hanasaki> how do you get the clamav ppa with the .5 version added to sources?
[04:37] <Leif> kwtm, erm: http://pastebin.com/KpetPhrq
[04:37] <Leif> yea for clipboard issues.
[04:37] <sacarlson> mbvpixies78: a broken computer?
[04:37] <kwtm> akephalos: Not sure what else to do .. was hoping to fill in time while other people jumped in to help ... trying to remember what else I tried when my computer decided to shut up...
[04:37] <red2kic> mbvpixies78: A broken wrist?
[04:37] <mbvpixies78> It's a PS/2
[04:37] <wow> red2kic: after i have formatted to fat32...what else to do?
[04:37] <mbvpixies78> I did try a USB one too
[04:38] <Leif> kwtm, Here is sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core: http://pastebin.com/2qRhrfjk
[04:38] <akephalos> aplay -L pastebin:  http://pastebin.com/imhBHpUs
[04:38] <kwtm> Leif: Okay, so apt-get -f install is not working ... somehow it has decided that you/it does not want to upgrade.  Okay, that most recent pastebin of yours may have the answer... let's take a look...
[04:38] <Leif> ktwm: but when I do ure, it tells me it's already installed
[04:38] <Leif> kwtm, Okay
[04:39] <Leif> kwtm, Or more specifically, it says: http://pastebin.com/AN4d88cw
[04:39] <nichos> hi all, im using debian w/an nvidia driver on a TV. I've confirmed the resolution is correct, but the mouse cursor & maximized windows go off screen.
[04:39] <x_> akephalos, so were these cards working or?
[04:39] <kwtm> Leif: What the... okay, now it looks like "apt-get" is trying to get into a pissing contest with us, so let's do "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-common" and see what excuse it uses for not installing *that*.
[04:40] <bastidrazor> nichos: shouldn't you be asking in #debian ?
[04:40] <Leif> okay, one moment
[04:40] <x_> akephalos, working and then just stopped like give more details
[04:40] <wow> ?
[04:40] <mbvpixies78> we're talking 2 different motherboards...??
[04:41] <kwtm> Somebody help Leif out here ... how does he verify what version of "ure" has been installed?  (And what *is* "ure" anyway?  Is that the second half of "man"?)
[04:41] <Leif> kwtm, Okay: http://pastebin.com/P0EDsSbD
[04:41] <Leif> mmm....no manual entry for ure :(
[04:41] <rww> Leif, kwtm: apt-cache policy ure
[04:42] <akephalos> ok, so it is a fresh install, and audio wasnt working.  realized it was just a muting problem.  ran alsamixer and unmuted master and other relevant items.  audio worked as expected.  after a reboot, no sound, but the settings in alsamixer show the devices unmuted still
[04:42] <rww> ure is the UNO Runtime Environment. UNO is an OpenOffice.org thing, stands for Universal Network Objects.
[04:42] <Leif> rwlove,  kwtm Thanks: http://pastebin.com/FuVkXp4V
[04:42] <christhecoolboy> OK... I've got my sound fixed, thanks to sam-_-
[04:43] <red2kic> wow: Follow the guide from the link I posted earlier.
[04:43] <christhecoolboy> he spent 3 hours helping me...
[04:43] <christhecoolboy> and I just wanna say thanks :)
[04:43] <Leif> perhaps if I uninstall and reinstall it?
[04:43] <kwtm> rww: Okay.  Maybe I should have run the "man ure" command, but I would have been too busy rolling on the floor laughing to read the output.
[04:43] <elint> Leif: have you purged, if it's an option? $ sudo apt-get purge "openoffice*.*"
[04:43] <christhecoolboy> now I have a new problem
[04:43] <rww> Leif: Looks like you added the libreoffice PPA. That PPA contains testing packages, and is rather unsupported.
[04:43] <sam-_-> christhecoolboy, would have been one hour if i trusted your advice :-)
[04:43] <christhecoolboy> yeah lol
[04:44] <ez2hate> Is there a way to uninstall everything and get back to the base ubuntu server install without reinstalling from scratch?
[04:44] <x_> akephalos, try restarting alsa
[04:44] <Leif> rww, Ah, okay, so do I need to remove the PPA and re-install?
[04:44] <Blue1> christhecoolboy: i had a 3 hour session, that turned into a few days - but the end result we got it working
[04:44] <christhecoolboy> my new problem: when I had windows I had stereo mix on my PC, how do I get it to work now?
[04:44] <mawst> How do I figure out what provides aes.h?
[04:44] <elint> Leif: i think that command alone should remove all of openoffice, and leave you ready for a new ppa
[04:45] <kwtm> Leif: elint has a good suggesting of purging.  SOmehow you've got a broken package.  Let's have you try that now before we keep chasing the "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-style"
[04:45] <akephalos> x_ is that an init.d script to restart alsa?
[04:45] <Blue1> ez2hate: sometimes the way forward is taking a step back.  re-installing might be your easy route
[04:45] <rww> Leif: I'd install ppa-purge and use it to remove the libreoffice PPA. I haven't been following your conversation, though, so I don't know if installing more packages is feasible at this point, so I'll defer to kwtm ;)
[04:45] <Leif> elint, kwtm Okay, purging now
[04:45] <x_> akephalos, well im on 10.10 and sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart is what they say to use but that doesn't work for me I must admit. but Since I use pulse audio I just kill pulse and restart it.
[04:46] <akephalos> weird, the only init.d script i see relating to alsa is alsa-mixer-save
[04:46] <christhecoolboy> is there a wiki on Sound or Installiation?
[04:46] <Leif> rww, Okay, thanks  I'm doing that now
[04:46] <sam-_-> mawst, http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=aes.h&mode=exactfilename&suite=maverick&arch=any
[04:46] <christhecoolboy> I think it should be edited...
[04:46] <hanasaki> how can I get this version installed on 10.10?   clamav 0.96.5+dfsg-1ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[04:46] <NickyTT> Is Ubuntu 10.4 better than 10.10?
[04:46] <kwtm> Leif: I think rww has a point --I wouldn't try libreoffice yet right now.  Did you just install the repository right now when elint suggested, or did you have that before?  Ie. is it a feasible cause of your problem?
[04:46] <Blue1> hanasaki: easy way would be to use synaptic
[04:47] <dokuhebi> Is there an easy way to quickly log off another user who has logged on using "switch user"?
[04:47] <Leif> kwtm, I've actually had it for a few weeks, although I never used it, so it may be the cause of the problem.
[04:47] <hanasaki> Blue1:  its not in the regular repositories.. something about ppa?
[04:47] <x_> akephalos, yea I had to fight to get my hdmi audio to work, and like I said I have that same problem as you.
[04:47] <Blue1> NickyTT: ubuntu 10.04 was an lts (long term support) release.  10.10 wasn't.  depends on what you need.
[04:47] <christhecoolboy> I think that a wiki article on wiki.ubuntu.com should be changed
[04:47] <sam-_-> NickyTT, no. but it isn't worse either
[04:47] <Leif> (I actually had them both installed for a while)
[04:47] <dokuhebi> (assuming I have administrator privledges)
[04:47] <x_> !alsa
[04:47] <kwtm> NickyTT: Different opinions. I am conservative and don't want to spend time fixing things, so I use 10.04.  My own suggestion is: 10.04 unless you know you need something that's not in 10.04, and then upgrade.
[04:47] <Blue1> hanasaki: you can add the ppa to synaptic
[04:47] <Blueleaf> j
[04:47] <mawst> thanks sam
[04:47] <kwtm> NickyTT: The version *after* a LTS version tends to be more experimental than usual.
[04:47] <NickyTT> AHA
[04:47] <xangua> !clamav | hanasaki
[04:48] <xangua> !info clamav | hanasaki
[04:48] <NickyTT> So I predict that there are differing opinions on this subject... I just opened a can of worms I predict...
[04:48] <Blue1> NickyTT: kwtm advise is the route I would go
[04:48] <al_nz1> any sed gurus here?
[04:48] <Leif> rww, BTW, is ppa-purge an actual command (as it's not in my path), or should I just use the gui tools to remove it from my sources (what I usually do)?
[04:48] <NickyTT> 10.4 was the last LTS release?
[04:48] <christhecoolboy> could some1 edit that please? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[04:48] <Blue1> NickyTT: yes
[04:48] <NickyTT> I think I can see why.
[04:49] <christhecoolboy> theres something that I think should be put on that wiki
[04:49] <kwtm> NickyTT: I don't think you'll see us fighting over it.  We'll all say it depends on what you need. I use Kubuntu, which ... I guess a polite way of putting it is that it does not suck as much as it used to, so I'm sticking with the LTS version to make sure nothing's broken.
[04:49] <rww> !itsawiki | christhecoolboy
[04:49] <hanasaki> xangua:  that is exactly the one I want - the .3 version does not seem to scan RAR files... but how to add the repository?
[04:49] <rww> Leif: it's a command, in a package that isn't installed by default. Using the GUI tools is an option, but won't downgrade any packages you installed from the PPA to the Ubuntu repository versions.
[04:49] <rww> !info ppa-purge
[04:49] <xangua> Leif: sudo apt-get install ppa-purge ; and to uninstall a ppa and packages it provides: sudo ppa-purge "ppa's name"
[04:49] <xangua> hanasaki: already is
[04:49] <x_> akephalos, im wondering if sound was broken by an update in 10.10 recently
[04:49] <hanasaki> xangua:  huh?
[04:49] <NickyTT> Are there a lot of programs included with Kubuntu? Does it work just like Ubuntu? What's the advantage?
[04:49] <kwtm> xangua, rww: Very useful info on ppa-purge.  Thanks.
[04:50] <christhecoolboy> it needs to be placed at multiple places, rww
[04:50] <hanasaki> apt-show-versions clamav
[04:50] <hanasaki> clamav/maverick-security uptodate 0.96.3+dfsg-2ubuntu1.2
[04:50] <Leif> xangua, rww thanks
[04:50] <hanasaki> xangua:  not .5
[04:50] <Blue1> NickyTT: it's a personal preference
[04:50] <lwizardl> hello
[04:51] <kwtm> NickyTT: Again different opinions. There's a matter of "how is KDE" theoretically, and practically.  At this point, if you could go either way, you'll probably have a better experience with (GNOME) Ubuntu.
[04:51] <lwizardl> can someone help me with configuring a sftp server for internal networks only ?
[04:51] <rww> NickyTT: They're different desktop environments; one isn't objectively better than the other. If you feel like experimenting, try both. If not, go with Ubuntu, since more people use it.
[04:51] <akephalos> yeah. i think just installing a xwindowing system might have to happen to get the sound working
[04:52] <akephalos> lwizardl: sftp uses ssh.  you will have to limit the ssh connections to limit sftp (afaik)
[04:52] <rww> christhecoolboy: so...?
[04:52] <hanasaki> I have http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-clamav/ppa/ubuntu  in my synaptic however it only finds ...3 not ....5
[04:52] <christhecoolboy> I dont know how to put it around the site
[04:52] <x_> akephalos, you said a fresh install of 10.10 doesnt pulse audio come with 10.10...?
[04:52] <christhecoolboy> this is a very Important thing
[04:53] <NickyTT> I'm currently using a version of Ubuntu that isn't supported by you guys, so I fear to even mention it.
[04:53] <Leif> rww, elint kwtm okay, purged, I'm going to try a clean install now
[04:53] <kwtm> Leif: Tell us how it goes, ok?  Would love to know. From your output, it looks just like a broken package: very unlikely with Ubuntu repositories, but the libreoffice repository explains it.
[04:53] <akephalos> x_ if it does, i am not aware of it.. or what pulse even does
[04:53] <lwizardl> akephalos, yeah I have the openssh installed on the system and also vsftp but thats about all I know. I never setup a linux ftp/sftp server before.
[04:53] <x_> akephalos, ps -ef | grep pulseaudio
[04:53] <akephalos> nothin
[04:53] <kwtm> NickyTT: well, you can mention it --we won't hold it against you.  But if it's too out of date, you might think about a clean install.
[04:53] <rww> NickyTT: as in, an old one that isn't supported any more?
[04:53] <kwtm> NickyTT: I'll tell you what I usually do, if you're interested.
[04:54] <rww> NickyTT: if so, I'd go with 10.04, since that way you don't need to worry about upgrading as often ;)
[04:54] <x_> akephalos, id look up how to install pulseaudio then. or try starting it maybe you have it. pulseaudio -D
[04:54] <Leif> kwtm, Excitement, well it's happily downloading everything, so I bet it will work fine, I'll let you know if it works when it finishes, thank you.
[04:54] <kwtm> NickyTT: Disclaimer: if you say you use Microsoft Ubuntu, we *will* hold it against you. :)
[04:54] <lwizardl> kwtm, lol
[04:54] <NickyTT> Haha
[04:54] <NickyTT> I use 10.4 SuperOS
[04:55] <NickyTT> Because I found there is no grub screen.
[04:55] <NickyTT> But there is a weird grub screen on 10.10 that wasn't there before.
[04:55] <ez2hate> Blue1: I was afraid of that... guess I'll be using virtual machines to play from now on... :)
[04:55] <NickyTT> So I'm thinking - screw this, I'm going back to 10.4
[04:55] <NickyTT> [I don't want to waste 10 seconds of my life every time i reboot this thing
