[00:00] <Exetubin> i need help in creating an xorg.conf file for my 9.10 XUbuntu
[00:01] <freeride> !python
[00:01] <Exetubin> Daz... can you help?
[00:01] <SBDUB> !grub2
[00:01] <DaZ> eh
[00:01] <DaZ> Exetubin: i think you can just paste the sections you want to
[00:02] <SBDUB> I'm not finding any solutions on the grub2 page
[00:02] <Exetubin> well... ok... i created an xorg.conf file with just the lines needed to make my touchpad work (see http://www.opcommando.com/?p=54), but, the system booted only to the command line
[00:03] <Exetubin> i ended up deleting the xorg.conf file to get back inside XUbuntu
[00:03] <Exetubin> not sure what I did wrong...
[00:03] <arooni-mobile___> question.... i have ubuntu installed in a raid1 format across drives /dev/sda and /dev/sdc ... (/ is located on /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdc1 and /home is located on /dev/sda6 and i managed to blow it away on /dev/sdc6) i want to go back to using no raid, so what i was THINKING of doing is formatting /dev/sda1, /dev/sdc1, and /dev/sdc6 ... and reinstalling ubuntu to /dev/sda1 and using /dev/sda6 as /home.  does this work? would
[00:03] <arooni-mobile___> i need to mess with grub separately?
[00:04] <cruzton> my cups broke for network printing when i upgraded to karmic... i nuked my /etc/cups dir, but i cant seem to make dpkg regenerate the config files

[00:04] <DaZ> Exetubin: i know, ubuntu sucks [;
[00:04] <zebrafusion> ubottu: you're always there for me
[00:05] <zebrafusion> ubottu: intelligent? Fine, but your memory sure beats us humans!

[00:05] <Exetubin> dang! i just want this touchpad to work....
[00:06] <NineTeen67Comet> Does anyone in here have a familiarity with the Dell Mini 9? Mine will not hold wireless. It connects (47dB) for about half a second, blinks and goes to 0dB and disconnects .. I tried wicd, b43-fwcutter and still same ..
[00:06] <zcat[1]> ubuntu sucks, but every time I stry to switch to debian I end up realising that ubuntu still sucks ever so slightly less than the alternatives.
[00:06] <anku> can anyone help me set up a game to work like Aion?
[00:06] <sebsebseb> zcat[1]: Mandriva is nice :)
[00:06] <zebrafusion> where does wine store the C: files
[00:07] <DaZ> Exetubin: /var/log/Xorg.log should say why it didn't start
[00:07] <zcat[1]> yeah, I should give mandriva a try. mint isn't too bad either
[00:07] <NineTeen67Comet> zebrafusion: ~/.wine ..
[00:07] <Exetubin> Daz.... thanks... let me see
[00:07] <LITesterB> zebrafusion ~/.wine/drive_c/

[00:35] <hyperstream> what group should the samba share be under?
[00:35] <wolfgang> yeah im talking about scanning a windows hard drive from an ubuntu machine
[00:35] <arooni-mobile___> i'm about to install ubuntu 9.10 to a / partition.  should i use ext3 or ext4?.  i already have a /home partition on the same drive that is ext3
[00:35] <joaopinto> rstob911, actually there was a trojan horse deployed this week
[00:36] <rstob911> wolfgang: ahh ok
[00:36] <wolfgang> ubuntu powerpc to be precise... theres a ubuntu ppc channel right?
[00:36] <Dragoon_Jett> So I went here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Instructions%20for%20Ubuntu%209.04%20(Jaunty) - And then I find out I need to downgrade and that link - http://tan-com.com/posts/technology/fix-ubuntu-904-ati-driver-issue - is broken
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> !ppc
[00:37] <joaopinto> Dragoon_Jett, that procedure does not work for 9.10
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> wolfgang: its supported here
[00:37] <Dragoon_Jett> I am using 9.04
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> apparently
[00:37] <Phuzion> Hello looking for a lil help with a java problem running Ubuntu 8.10 Firefox 3.0.15 having non-responsive windows running Java... more specifically using Yahoo Games
[00:38] <hyperstream> why cant i access this network share guys ?
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> Phuzion: how did you install java?
[00:39] <Phuzion> actionparsnip I installed it by *sudo-apt'ing
[00:39] <randy_> hello
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> Phuzion: could try uninstalling it then reinstalling it. I always use the bin file at java.com
[00:40] <slim> hey i hope you can help is there a way to download torrents on ubuntu like limewire on windows?
[00:40] <joaopinto> ActionParsnip, the recommended install process is using the repository version, not the one from sun site
[00:40] <Dragoon_Jett> slim, a bittorrent downloader comes with ubuntu
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> joaopinto: i never advised to use it if you read my text
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> joaopinto: all i said was how I do it, i never instructed to do similar did I?
[00:41] <joaopinto> ActionParsnip, but you forgot to mention "I do this" - but is not supported
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> joaopinto: i still didnt instruct it
[00:41] <Phuzion> actionparsnip if I'm not mistaken you and I tried working on this previously, at the time I had multiple installations conflicting with one another... we completely removed them all and reinstalled... however the problem seems to mainly occur with Yahoo games being how some other sites I visit use Java... and there doesn't seem to be issues w/ them?
[00:41] <jacquesdupontd> hi guys
[00:41] <slim> ok then but i havent got it to work where can i get info on it
[00:41] <joaopinto> ActionParsnip, you gave him an hint which is not related to it's problem
[00:42] <jacquesdupontd> i'm trying to find a way to be able to disable some cpus to save some battery life, maybe it's directly possible from the grub entry no ?
[00:42] <jacquesdupontd> or if it's not i'm ok with installing something in Kubuntu
[00:42] <joaopinto> anyway, let's get on topic :)
[00:42] <jacquesdupontd> i'm sure it's possible

[00:42] <LioN__> How can I sync my iPhone on Karmic Ubuntu?
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> joaopinto: i was showing i have no idea how the repo way handles java as I never use it as I like 64bit java on my 64bit system which the repo doesnt do
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> joaopinto: seems to like installing 32bit and using nspluginwrapper which is dumb as there is a perfectly working 64bit plugin
[00:44] <LioN__> How can I sync my iPhone on Karmic Ubuntu?
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> LioN__: try gtkpod
[00:44] <LioN__> ActionParsnip: I tried
[00:45] <joaopinto> ActionParsnip, my last line about this subject, since you are debating for no reason,your demonstration of the lack  lack of know-how with the java package does not help him in anyway
[00:45] <djanatyn> Anybody here with wubi experience?
[00:45] <LioN__> ActionParsnip: nothing happens
[00:45] <joaopinto> and now, bed time :P
[00:45] <Phuzion> actionparsnip if I'm not mistaken you and I tried working on this previously, at the time I had multiple installations conflicting with one another... we completely removed them all and reinstalled... however the problem seems to mainly occur with Yahoo games being how some other sites I visit use Java... and there doesn't seem to be issues w/ them?
[00:45] <LioN__> ActionParsnip: just an error
[00:45] <djanatyn> On my Acer Aspire One, Ubuntu now boots into the GRUB prompt >_>

[00:49] <sweetprince> i can't get the sound to work on my computer, can anyone help me?
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> LioN__: no as I use more open MP3 players than apples closed mindedness

[00:51] <arooni-mobile___> help!  i'm getting this:  the installer needs to remove operating system files from the install target but was unable to do so the installation cannot continue... any ideas on how to fix?
[00:52] <sweetprince> according to alsamixer, the sound is all turned up, nothing's muted. i had linux mint on here very briefly, for like a day. before that i had windows xp. it's a pc.

[00:53] <Dragoon_Jett> How do I downgrade Xorg

[00:54] <sebsebseb> ardchoille: the GDM in 9.10 can't be themed like the old one
[00:54] <LioN__> ActionParsnip: Yep...
[00:55] <ActionParsnip1> ardchoille: in karmic you can't. Apparently an app named epidermis can do it but ive not used it
[00:55] <xae8koo> Hello
[00:55] <sebsebseb> ardchoille: apparantly those features will come latero n
[00:55] <ardchoille> sebsebseb: Ah, ok
[00:55] <xae8koo> Can wireshark show me packages sent to other computers?
[00:55] <ardchoille> ActionParsnip1: ok
[00:55] <sebsebseb> ardchoille: you could use KDM instead that's in the repo,  or slim which  I haven't tried yet, but according to ActionParsnip1  and someone else, is good,  that's not in the repo
[00:56] <felichas> Hi, I have a strange USB pen drive I cannot fully format
[00:56] <ardchoille> sebsebseb: ok, thaks for the ideas. I'll also look into epidermis
[00:56] <felichas> it has 2 drives ?? in it
[00:56] <felichas> a cd-rom image
[00:56] <felichas> and a standard /dev/sdb1 fat partition
[00:57] <felichas> http://paste.ubuntu.com/340865/
[00:57] <felichas> I want to get rid of the cd-rom image
[00:57] <jacquesdupontd> i'm trying to find a way to be able to disable some cpus to save some battery life, maybe it's directly possible from the grub entry no ?
[00:57] <felichas> and format it to start from scratch with the pen drive
[00:57] <ActionParsnip1> felichas: ok looks like the partition is sdb1 and is 2Gb
[00:57] <felichas> yep
[00:58] <felichas> but it also has the other part
[00:58] <felichas> the cd-rom
[00:58] <felichas> it automounts as well
[00:58] <felichas> whenever you plug it in
[00:58] <ActionParsnip1> felichas: the cd drive will not ange how you mount or format the usb stick
[00:58] <felichas> named "autorun"
[00:58] <felichas> it has some windows files
[00:59] <ActionParsnip1> felichas: ease up on the enter key dude, you can type multiple things on one line like tis so you do not scroll the channel so much
[00:59] <felichas> sorry
[00:59] <ActionParsnip1> felichas: so you want to format the USB stick and detroy all the data on it?
[01:01] <felichas> yes, that's what I want. The usb unit also has a ISO9660 image built in that it mounts as a CD-rom whenever I plug the USB unit in. I don't want it
[01:01] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip1: found it, and interesting I guess, so thanks
[01:01] <ActionParsnip1> felichas: sudo umount /dev/sdb1; sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
[01:02] <ActionParsnip1> felichas: will format it fat32

[01:06] <WikiFurUser92> hello?
[01:06] <rod_> howdy! How does one evaluate whether an SD port is working with Ubuntu? I have two SD cards that I verified work in other computers, so I worry the port I'm using is dead. Anyway to quickly check?
[01:06] <ActionParsnip1> zsquareplusc: you will then get an x server, you can then reinstall the driver. You can also use: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[01:06] <ActionParsnip1> rod_: when you insert on, run: dmesg | tail
[01:07] <rod_> "integrated sync not supported"
[01:08] <rod_> ActionParsnip1: "integrated sync not supported"

[01:08] <felichas> but did not take care of the /dev/sr0 unit

[01:12] <Ziber> I want to make the network share folder on ubuntu tho, and make a network drive for it on my win7. samba does the reverse.

[01:13] <ZzTop> is foo/bar the new location ? or is that teh directory to be copied ?
[01:14] <Ziber> ZzTop: foo/ is the directory you want to copy, bar/ is where you want to copy it to

[01:15] <kingleo> maco : so we cannot install yum server on ubuntu right

[01:21] <Exaltia> jacquesdupontd, : I was able to use maxcores= in the grub.conf, but how can I disable and enable while running an app? There is some sort of cpu hotplug, but I'm running 2.4 which cpu hotplug doesn't support. Also, i don't think i can enable this in the kernel since I installed the rpm for the kernel I am running., source : http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/disable-cpu-cores-in-rhel3-631816/ (and sorry to not be able to

[01:27] <jesse2> hello.  im using ubuntu with both gnome and kde (currently in KDE).  for some reason i dont have sound when i try to watch movies on youtube (although i have sound with amarok and i can hear the chime when i log into kde/gnome)
[01:27] <felichas> I'm still trying to fix my USB pen unit. I formatted it, but only /dev/sdb1 gets formated, as expected. I fsck, and everything ok. I deleted /dev/db1 partition. fdisk does not let me work with /dev/sr or /dev/sr0 (the cd-rom image). Now when I plug the unit in only the cd-rom unit gets mounted. I want to get rid of it
[01:27] <jesse2> does anyone know what the dillio is? :)
[01:27] <Darten> ...I also tried Windows, with the same effect: my media is not recognized by usb-creator.exe?
[01:27] <Matthew11> Hello! Is there any chance to unload a dead module without restarting the computer?
[01:28] <Kage_Jittai> Matthew11: modprobe -r doesn't work?
[01:28] <Darten> Is a usb-sd-card-reader fine as a usb media for usb-creator.exe?

[01:31] <Canto> i did ls, tried set on all of them and it always gives me an error
[01:32] <Darten> is there a command-line equivalent for usb-creator(.exe or not)
[01:32] <iflema> Matthew11: i got one o them
[01:32] <Darten> ?
[01:32] <ae86-drifter> Darten, what is a .exe file??
[01:32] <Canto> when i try ls /boot it says biosdisk read error
[01:32] <ae86-drifter> :P
[01:32] <iflema> Matthew11: whats ya kernel version 'uname -r'
[01:33] <ae86-drifter> canto, fschk /boot
[01:33] <Canto> ae86, it says unknown command fsck when i try that

[01:35] <jesse2> hehe
[01:35] <Dacvak> I'm having trouble installing Ubuntu via USB

[01:35] <jesse2> yeah! stop stepping on his tie! (just kidding.  im very unfamiliar with this expression)
[01:35] <ae86-drifter> Darten, well theres no real CLI equivalent for anything, usb-creator
[01:36] <ae86-drifter> just a GUI front end
[01:36] <iflema> Matthew11: why do yoiu need to kill it?
[01:36] <Darten> ae86-drifter: Do you know how to convice the windows or the linux version of that tool to accept any destination (e.g. /dev/sdb(1))?
[01:36] <ae86-drifter> if its an exe file, this is probs the wrong place to ask, thats all
[01:37] <Matthew11> Some additional information: I use an USB hub, the dvb tuner was connected to it. I was watching an a TV show, when i disconnected the hub. After the disconnection every device/process that trying to access to any usb device get freeze.
[01:37] <corky> i down loaded 9.10 and burn it to a cd, but it will not boot. can anyone help
[01:37] <Darten> ae86-drifter: the usb-creator.exe is the official way to make a UNR stick, isnŌĆÖt it?
[01:37] <ae86-drifter> usb bootable linux
[01:37] <ae86-drifter> ?
[01:37] <gatekeeper> where is the trash can
[01:38] <Canto> corky, when you start your computer, go into the bios (it will say on the screen what button to press) and you have to put your first boot as cd drive then save and restart
[01:38] <Darten> yes, usb bootable linux UNR
[01:38] <ae86-drifter> u can use the slax USB installer
[01:38] <matthew_> can some one help me with some thing
[01:38] <corky> i did that it just doesn't seem to reconize it
[01:38] <nytek_> matthew_: post your problem
[01:39] <iflema> gatekeeper: open nautilus (file browser) left hand pane...
[01:39] <ae86-drifter> Darten, it will convert an iso for booting from a usb stick for you
[01:39] <gatekeeper> i can't find where my del files r goin
[01:39] <matthew_> how can i change my log in screen to look like mac?
[01:39] <ae86-drifter> if thats what your after
[01:39] <mine> how to get the disk's UUID
[01:39] <Matthew11> nytek_: To the launchpad?
[01:39] <jesse2> Does anyone know a good link to a how-to or something to get sound working? i can get sond to work with amarok (and the opening chimes for kde/gnome) but not for other apps, such as youtube
[01:39] <Dacvak> I'm also trying to boot from a USB disk
[01:39] <goose> how can I set up ssh shortcuts? so instead of typing "ssh user@host", I can just type "ssh blah", and Ubuntu will know "blah" mean "user@host"?
[01:39] <gatekeeper> ok thanks i'll get in there
[01:40] <wilberfan> anyone happen to know what the lirc-module is called  for Ubuntu 9.10?  I'm trying to get my remote working with my new mythtv install...
[01:40] <ae86-drifter> goose, it will default to use the current local user only if you dont specify $blah@blah
[01:40] <syn-ack> goose, Thats more of a resolution thing you can solve by editing your etc/hosts file
[01:40] <Darten> ae86-drifter: I donŌĆÖt know if that is what IŌĆÖm after. But it will suffice, if it can make something usefull out of the iso image...
[01:41] <jacquesdupontd> Exaltia, i'm embarassed cause it seems maxcores= option is not working on grub 2 , grub.cfg, do you know where i could find the possible options of grub 2 entries i've searched on google with no good results, thx
[01:41] <iflema> gatekeeper: ya can add shortcut to taskbar, theres a desktop shortcut option as well
[01:41] <mizery> What command line application can I use to test sound?  mplayer and mpg321 aren't working.  mplayer doesn't play for some reason.  It stops as soon as the audio file is loaded.    It stops at "A:   0.0 (00.0) of 1.4 (01.4) ??,?%"
[01:41] <mizery> Even if I use -ao alsa
[01:41] <ae86-drifter> Darten, search for slax usb creator i think it is called, i have used it in the past, it is pretty good, and its an exe file....
[01:41] <LlamaZorz> When I try and copy a directory(either through nautilus or using cp -r) from a ext3 to a ntfs drive, I keep getting a "operation not permitted" error.  I have ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs installed and have chowned and chmodded both drives
[01:42] <Dacvak> Should the Ubuntu USB loader theoretically work with any 2GB USB Stick?
[01:42] <ae86-drifter> dac, it should be fine no matter how big it is, unless bios limitations
[01:42] <losha> goose: why not just define some aliases in bash?
[01:42] <Dacvak> ae86-drifter, what'
[01:42] <Pytlask> ActionParsnip: Anything I should have to do after installing that package?
[01:42] <mizery> Is it better to use pulse instead of alsa directly?
[01:42] <Darten> ae86-drifter: I actually used the Windows machine of a friend yesterday, because I thought it would be faster to install UNR there than to fix the usb-creator for Debian...
[01:42] <Matthew11> Ok, i will post my problem, anyway thank you guys,
[01:42] <Matthew11> bye
[01:42] <corky> how can i update 5.10 to 9.10 ubuntu
[01:42] <Dacvak> what's the best guide to follow for creating a usb boot stick?
[01:42] <goose> losha: sounds like a brilliant idea, but how do I do that? :p
[01:43] <LuisGMarine> corky, best bet is to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.10
[01:43] <LuisGMarine> corky, if not you will have to upgrade to every version in between 5.10 and 9.10
[01:43] <Canto> i still need help with grub rescue> prompt
[01:43] <git__> what will ubuntu 13.01 be like?
[01:43] <ae86-drifter> Darten, the slax usb creator is pretty versatile, im pretty sure it will convert any bootable ISOP to usb usage
[01:44] <Helsinkiii> hi. does anyone know how I can make Ubuntu look a lot...SHARPER and have cleaner edges, and look more high tech
[01:44] <rod_> git__: similar, but better. CS Lewis's version of Ubuntu heaven
[01:44] <LuisGMarine> anyone can help me out with a command to search a folder and subfolder and output all the files with .mp4 extension?
[01:44] <rod_> Helsinkiii -- enable compiz effects
[01:44] <goose> Helsinkiii: compiz
[01:44] <lstarnes> git__: .01 is not used in versions.  It's usually .04 (April) or .10 (October)
[01:44] <Helsinkiii> the default stuff makes it look a bit like a children's toy
[01:44] <Pytlask> mdg: Any idea what I should do after installing that package? Still not working :(
[01:44] <jacquesdupontd> Exaltia, i'm stupid i guess it's nothing in match with grub version it has to do with the kernel version
[01:44] <Helsinkiii> goose-i downloaded it
[01:44] <Untouchab1e> I have a minor issue with Ubuntu 9.10.. it occasionally disconnects from the wifi network.. not a problem in itself, but it doesnt automatically reconnect
[01:44] <lstarnes> git__: and the most distant planned release is 10.04
[01:44] <Helsinkiii> goose-but i mean, more high tech icons, sharper edges.....less of the brown and bubbly
[01:44] <brady> whats up everyone
[01:44] <brady> ?
[01:45] <brady> I need some help
[01:45] <Untouchab1e> and since I usually dont access the machine physically, but over SSH, its impossible when it keeps disconnecting from Wifi and not reconnecting again
[01:45] <jelly-bean> i just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and told it to erase the whole drive and auto partition for me... install succeeded but it boots to just the word "GRUB". The LiveCD portion works tho as I am using it to chat here now. Any ideas?
[01:45] <losha> goose: alias foo='ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>  Put it in your .bashrc file. Now every time you type foo it will be as though you typed ssh foo@baz
[01:45] <Untouchab1e> so anyone have any idea? maybe a setting or something that instructs Ubuntu to automatically reconnect to the network?
[01:45] <goose> losha: thank you thank you thank you thank you you rock
[01:46] <Darten> ae86-drifter: now I remember again; while on Debian, it didnŌĆÖt recognize the destination I wanted to use, but on Windows, it didnŌĆÖt even eat the source file!
[01:46] <brady> Reboot ISO and set the mount pint manually, set it to dos not windows.  I used it to correct a similar issue.
[01:46] <Pytlask> Hey guys. I just upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10, and my computer is now unable to connect to my wireless network. Any ideas about how to go about diagnosing the problem/fixing it?
[01:46] <LuisGMarine> anyone know a command out search a folder and its subfolder to output everything in .mp4 extention?
[01:47] <Helsinkiii> goose:any specific tips?
[01:47] <Darten> LuisGMarine: find -iname '*.mp4' /path/to/root-folder/
[01:47] <b0w> anyone know how to fix this on aptitude?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/340205/
[01:47] <brady> How do I install non-supported executible files in Ubunto 9
[01:47] <brady> ?
[01:47] <brady> I suck at spelling
[01:47] <git__> how cheap is the cheapest tablet pc?
[01:47] <goose> losha: do you know if I can do a two word alias? i.e.: alias ssh ircd='ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[01:47] <Helsinkiii> git__:probably no less than $1000
[01:48] <quantumEd> when I press F10 it mutes the volume, but is it possible to make the F-keys work as F-keys rather than these kind of macros?
[01:48] <brady> anyone out there?
[01:48] <quantumEd> hi braddy
[01:48] <brady> whats up?
[01:48] <git__> http://www.shopping.com/xPO-ASUS-T91SA-VU1X-BK-Eee-PC-T91-8-9-Touch-Screen-Netbook-Black
[01:48] <git__> is that good for ubuntu 9.10?
[01:48] <brady> how do you launch exe files?
[01:48] <felichas> losha: I don't think you can do that, but you can always alias ssh_ircd
[01:48] <blakkheim> brady: wine
[01:49] <brady> I tried, no bueno
[01:49] <Bunta> huh
[01:49] <losha> goose: no, but you can call the alias something like ssh-ircd e.g. alias ssh-ircd=ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>which is *almost* as good...
[01:49] <felichas> losha: double tab will work fine
[01:49] <blakkheim> brady: then use a virtual machine or dualboot
[01:49] <Trunkz> .
[01:49] <goose> thank you losha :)
[01:49] <brady> do i use the vista or xp config?
[01:49] <losha> goose: felichas beat me to it :-)
[01:49] <b0w> HellHello!!! i got an error when trying to update! BUS Error on building the dependency tree! anyone can help?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/340205/
[01:49] <Canto> brady, .exe is not a microsoft/os/2 executable program. if it does not work with wine it is not made to execute in linux

[01:49] <grafixbadnow> hi room. i'm trying to restore a backed-up evolution file. evolution keeps giving an error of "invalid evolution backup file"
[01:49] <peralta> hola
[01:49] <ae86-drifter> has anyone had experience with atheros wireless chipsets dropping out every 10 mins or so under karmic?
[01:50] <felichas> :)
[01:50] <ae86-drifter> happens at two differnt access points so its not a router issue
[01:50] <brady> what i the best x64 browser for linux so I can utilize flash player x64?
[01:50] <LuisGMarine> Darten, didn't work
[01:50] <grafixbadnow> the file is named evolution-backup.tar.gz, which looks correct according to google
[01:50] <LuisGMarine> brady, chrome
[01:50] <blakkheim> brady: firefox or chromium
[01:50] <LuisGMarine> brady, I got flash working on firefox just fine, but I find chrome is just smoother right now than Firefox is
[01:51] <brady> you probably have the power saver feature on, check under properties, wireless
[01:51] <jacquesdupontd> Exaltia, just for you to know if one time you need the info and for others you have to add the line maxcpus=N instead of maxcores=N
[01:51] <jacquesdupontd> Exaltia, and it woks
[01:51] <git__> chrome is the firefox team
[01:51] <brady> I couldnt find the firefox x64 download
[01:51] <blakkheim> brady: aptitude install firefox..? :/
[01:51] <git__> one day, Google will kill the firefox project, and make everyone use Chrome
[01:51] <Canto> one can only hope git
[01:51] <brady> come again
[01:51] <LuisGMarine> brady, the flash plugin or a 64 bit version of firefox?
[01:51] <git__> it's part of Google convergence strategy
[01:51] <ae86-drifter> google has already stolen and killed it
[01:51] <Canto> death to firefox is my motto
[01:52] <brady> the browser
[01:52] <blakkheim> brady: are you using 64bit ubbuntu?
[01:52] <blakkheim> ubuntu*
[01:52] <brady> of course
[01:52] <blakkheim> then just aptitude install firefox
[01:52] <LuisGMarine> brady, if you are running 64-bit ubuntu it's already installed ....
[01:52] <brady> on an Asus N80vb notebook
[01:52] <brady> I set up a dual boot config using Ubunto x64 and windows 7 x64
[01:52] <losha> git__: and start charging for gmail, google voice, calendaring and all the rest...
[01:52] <Darten> LuisGMarine: How do you know it didnŌĆÖt work?
[01:52] <git__> :)
[01:53] <brady> what is aptitude?
[01:53] <blakkheim> brady: man sptitude
[01:53] <blakkheim> brady: it's a tool for managing software in debian/ubuntu
[01:53] <blakkheim> sorry, typos
[01:53] <LuisGMarine> Darten, you said find -iname '*.mp4' /path/to/folder
[01:53] <brady> ahhhh, I see,
[01:53] <Canto> or applications>software manager
[01:53] <brady> I get the drift
[01:53] <brady> thanks my man
[01:53] <blakkheim> brady: things like synaptic are just graphical front-ends for aptitude and/or apt-get
[01:54] <LlamaZorz> When I try and copy a directory(either through nautilus or using cp -r) from a ext3 to a ntfs drive, I keep getting a "operation not permitted" error.  I have ntfs-3g and ntfsprogs installed and have chowned and chmodded both drives.  any ideas?
[01:54] <gerzel> Hey anyone have any recomendations for windowmanagers for use with a two-screen setup?
[01:54] <gerzel> Thinking of taking a trip off of gnome for a while
[01:54] <LlamaZorz> gnome is always good
[01:54] <brady> takeownership of the driver you wish to copy
[01:54] <blakkheim> gerzel: openbox, awesome, xmonad are all good choices
[01:55] <gerzel> I'll try em out for a whirl.
[01:55] <brady> Nice
[01:55] <jelly-bean> is there an easy way to fix my grub install while i am booted in ubuntu 9.10 livecd? ubuntu 9.10 is already installed on /dev/sdb all by itself -- no other OS or partitions on the drive. should be easy?
[01:55] <ae86-drifter> how would i turn the wireless power save feature off :S??
[01:56] <blakkheim> jelly-bean: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[01:56] <brady> do you dualboot linux and windows?
[01:56] <LlamaZorz> brady:  I already have ownership
[01:56] <Darten> LuisGMarine: I know what I said, but I asked: why do you think it didnŌĆÖt work?
[01:56] <brady> drifter
[01:56] <Untouchab1e> quick question.. the "reboot" command.. how can I specify that it should reboot in like.. 100 seconds?
[01:56] <LuisGMarine> Darten, find: paths must precede expression: /home/luis/Music/
[01:56] <LuisGMarine> Usage: find [-H] [-L] [-P] [-Olevel] [-D help|tree|search|stat|rates|opt|exec] [path...] [expression]
[01:57] <ae86-drifter> brady, i have quad boot :D
[01:57] <Untouchab1e> sudo reboot 100?
[01:57] <ae86-drifter> sudo reboot now
[01:57] <Untouchab1e> that would be now
[01:57] <Untouchab1e> not in 100 seconds >.<
[01:57] <ae86-drifter> oh
[01:57] <Untouchab1e> :)
[01:57] <losha> jelly-bean:it should be easy enough to just reinstall grub, but to 'fix' it would depend on why it's broken in the first place....
[01:57] <ae86-drifter> hehe
[01:57] <ae86-drifter> i didnt read properly
[01:57] <Untouchab1e> hehe
[01:57] <Untouchab1e> got any idea though?
[01:57] <ae86-drifter> reboot --help
[01:57] <jelly-bean> what does it mean when pc boots to just the word "GRUB" and sits there? all you can do is CTRL+ALT+DEL... its not the grub> terminal and there are no errors displayed

[01:58] <felichas> OPTIONS        -r     Requests that the system be rebooted after it has been brought down.
[01:58] <felichas> jajaja

[01:58] <LuisGMarine> Darten, that worked
[01:58] <brady> boot using -v to see errors
[01:58] <LuisGMarine> Darten, but still not what I"m looking for, arghghg
[01:59] <Untouchab1e> felichas: yeah, -r for rebooting, but how to set the time?
[01:59] <Darten> LuisGMarine: you said: all *.mp4 in a folder?
[01:59] <LuisGMarine> Darten, well yeah
[01:59] <edgarsvss> how can i install ubuntu in kubuntu using the ubuntu cd?
[01:59] <felichas> man time.....   TIME  may  have different formats, the most common is simply the word ŌĆÖnowŌĆÖ which will bring
[01:59] <felichas>        the system down immediately.  Other valid formats are +m, where m is the number  of  minutes
[01:59] <felichas>        to wait until shutting down and hh:mm which specifies the time on the 24hr clock
[01:59] <xzachtmx> if someone dosent mind helping me I am trying to get karmic koala to load properly again but the gnome display manager dosent start an it gives me the error: failed to locate org.gnome.DisplayManager when I type Audi gdm restart
[01:59] <blakkheim> edgarsvss: aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[01:59] <felichas> sorry: man shutdown
[01:59] <edgarsvss> using the cd?
[02:00] <blakkheim> edgarsvss: oh sorry didn't see that
[02:00] <LuisGMarine> Darten, problem is my Songbird Library has about 12 extra songs than my iPod does.  Reason being is that they are a format that my iPod doesn't support, maybe like .mp4 or flac.
[02:00] <ae86-drifter> 0.
[02:00] <LuisGMarine> Darten, I'm trying to run a command so that it spits everything in the library that is not .mp3
[02:00] <arghh2d2> edgarsvss: your just going to install gnome...the underworkings remain the same as kubuntu
[02:00] <edgarsvss> i want ubuntu, forsome reason ubuntu wouldnt install from cd
[02:01] <Iowan> Untouchable: shutdown -r +m (where m is minutes
[02:01] <blakkheim> LuisGMarine: ls -R /directory/to/files | grep -i .mp4
[02:01] <ZzTop> how do I rename a directory ?
[02:01] <edgarsvss> so i install kubuntu withou any issues, but i want to install the ubuntu-desktop from kubuntu using the ubuntu cdrom, dont want to download
[02:01] <krishna> I am getting only 1280*800 resolution for my 30" monitor ,can any one help me to change the resolution
[02:02] <arghh2d2> edgarsvss: if you have kubuntu running and connected to the internet, then all you have to do is type this command in a terminal: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  ...you act like we dont understand but i think its you.
[02:02] <trism> ZzTop: mv old_directory_name new_directory_name
[02:02] <LuisGMarine> blakkheim, displays 0, which means there is another format other tahn mp4
[02:02] <Iowan> Untouchable: or shutdown -r hh:mm for time in 24 hour format
[02:02] <ae86-drifter> you could also use this # sleep 10;reboot now where 10 is 10secs
[02:03] <LuisGMarine> blakkheim, I'm trying to find everything that is NOT .mp3
[02:03] <losha> edgarsvss: you have to tell it to use the cd as a source by editing /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:03] <b0w> Hello!!! i got an error when trying to update! BUS Error on building the dependency tree! anyone can help?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/340205/

[02:04] <arghh2d2> edgarsvss: i reread it and still dont understand why you would want the cdrom for a repo...kubuntu cdrom wont have ubunt-desktop anyways.

[02:05] <brady> wipe hardrive and reinstall
[02:05] <cobhcf82> so out of curiosity i pinged google.com
[02:05] <losha> edgarsvss: the first line of you /etc/apt/sources.list should say 'deb cdrom...'  You need to make sure this line is uncommented, then run aptitude update, then aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[02:05] <krishna> I am getting only 1280*800 resolution for my 30" monitor ,can any one help me to change the resolution

[02:14] <losha> dem0buntu: unfortunately, wubi isn't well supported. Is there some reason you can't stick with the default working kernel?
[02:14] <arghh2d2> panfist: not really, flash drives are faster than spinning drives, perform better
[02:15] <LuisGMarine> maxinux61, follow that thread also has solutions for some problems that people were running into
[02:15] <PoisonSerpent_> linuxman410: was correcting a typo.

[02:16] <LuisGMarine> JackVermicelli, 32 or 64 bit?

[02:17] <LuisGMarine> JackVermicelli, try that thread out, it's got a video download link that I made
[02:17] <priv4t3> hi
[02:17] <JackVermicelli> LuisGMarine, Thanks!
[02:17] <sonic99> trying to install backtrack 4 on vmware and stuc here cp --preserve -R /{bin,sev,home,pentest,root,usr,boot,etc,lib,opt,sbin,var} /mnt/bt/

[02:18] <dem0buntu> have had no luck, I have tried anything, I wish it was a way of cleaning the cache of the kernels, if such thing exists so I can install it like fresh
[02:18] <krishna> blakkheim:ps aux | grep -i firefox  it is not showing any process for Firefox
[02:18] <dem0buntu> but reinstalling from synaptic doesnt do the trick anymore
[02:18] <JackVermicelli> boss_mc, that worked.  BUS Error on building the dependency tree! anyone can help?? http://paste.ubuntu.com/340205/
[02:18] <zoug> krishna: just came by. you want to kill firefox?
[02:18] <blakkheim> krishna: then it's not running, you could try temporarily moving ~/.mozilla somewhere and then opening firefox, (it will create a new directory of the same name)
[02:19] <losha> dem0buntu: sorry, I dunno enough about wubi to advise you. If you really need a reliable ubuntu, consider a proper dual-boot, or vmware/virtualbox....
[02:20] <dem0buntu> if vmware supported nvidia I would :P
[02:20] <krishna> blakkheim & zoug & Losha : I dont want to create a profile ,I have lot of book marks and shortcuts which I will loose
[02:20] <ae86-drifter> can anyone tell me where i disable wireless powersaving
[02:20] <blakkheim> krishna: you won't lose them, they will just be stored elsewhere for a moment while we troubleshoot
[02:20] <zoug> krishna: backup firefox?
[02:20] <dem0buntu> you think with full install the kernel panics will stop?

[02:20] <arghh2d2> krishna: mv .mozilla .mozilla.backup
[02:21] <losha> krishna: I repeat, it may have left a lock file behind. Look for it under .mozilla...  find ~/.mozilla -name lock

[02:21] <Darten> ae86-drifter: iwconfig ... power off
[02:21] <xzachtmx> is there a channel here specializing in gnome?  I'm kinda desperate
[02:21] <ae86-drifter> i am getting wireless drop outs every 15 mins or so on ubuntu, but not linux? what could it be?
[02:21] <dem0buntu> is there a way to take karmic to a full install?
[02:21] <The_Rufus> I have 3 kernels in my GRUB menu. The oldest one works and boots into ubuntu with no problems. The 2 more recent ones cannot see my hard drive. I'm running a RAID1 array. It's probably not seeing the drive due to lack of drivers (though it was working yesterday). Can someone please help me?
[02:21] <krishna> losha : I see some thing like .parentlock file
[02:21] <blakkheim> xzachtmx: #gnome
[02:22] <ae86-drifter> what i meant to say: i am getting wireless drop outs every 15 mins or so on ubuntu, but not windows? what could it be?. brand new laptop
[02:22] <zoug> krishna: ~/.mozilla/?
[02:22] <losha> dem0buntu: I can't guarantee it, but I can tell you 8.04 is rock solid, and 9.10 isn't too bad. So unless there's something peculiar about your hardware....
[02:22] <krishna> zoug : yes
[02:22] <The_Rufus> I have 3 kernels in my GRUB menu. The oldest one works and boots into ubuntu with no problems. The 2 more recent ones cannot see my hard drive. I'm running a RAID1 array. It's probably not seeing the drive due to lack of drivers (though it was working yesterday). Can someone please help me?
[02:23] <losha> krishna: full pathname to the .parentlock file please...
[02:23] <dem0buntu> well no, it works out of the box, im using a hp laptop dv3000 series
[02:23] <jed_> is there a way to change the resolution of the screen during the installer?  half of the installer is off-screen, and "Safe Graphics Mode" just drops me to a flickering framebuffer console when I run the installer with it -- is there any kind of magic (on another VT perhaps) to force the installer to a not autodetect the resolution?
[02:23] <jed_> this is the karmic installer
[02:23] <dem0buntu> on karmic
[02:23] <zoug> krishna: there is one xxxxxx.default file i guess, thats the profile folder that you want to back up. and eventually there is also a add-on that can do that for you..
[02:23] <panfist> arghh2d2 that is compeltely false. the only thing usb thumb drives have on conventional spinning disks is small amounts of random seeking...in terms of r/w speed, they're lower, and random iops, much lower
[02:23] <krishna> losha :  ~/.mozilla/firefox/*default/.parentlock
[02:23] <Mike_lifeguard> What is the karmic kernel by default?
[02:23] <dem0buntu> and working like a champ.....besides the kernel panic :P
[02:23] <panfist> arghh2d2 http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001127.html
[02:24] <losha> krishna: nothing to lose at this point, try rm-ing the .parenlock file & see if that fixes it...
[02:24] <dem0buntu> how many partitions can a hard drive have? cause I already have 4 :P
[02:25] <losha> dem0buntu: my impression from reading this channel is that wubi is prone to problems....
[02:25] <blakkheim> dem0buntu: 4 if not using the GUID GPT
[02:25] <danobook> yes it is
[02:25] <ae86-drifter> wubi sux
[02:25] <danobook> someone else get a Wubi GRUB failure?
[02:25] <dem0buntu> me
[02:25] <dem0buntu> kernel panic
[02:25] <zoug> dem0buntu: 4. 3primary, 1 ext
[02:25] <ae86-drifter> grub was never intended for wubi
[02:25] <arghh2d2> ok panfist, i may have been wrong.  i always thought flash drives were supposed to be faster than spinning drives... good job doing research there pal.
[02:25] <dem0buntu> i have 4 pri :P
[02:25] <zoug> dem0buntu: dont think so
[02:26] <dem0buntu> is there a way to avoid grub and install another boot loader to fix the issue?
[02:26] <losha> Mike_lifeguard: weird question: 2.6.31-16-generic-pae currently...
[02:26] <ae86-drifter> lilo
[02:26] <Mike_lifeguard> losha: Why is it weird? (thanks anyways)
[02:26] <dem0buntu> and that could solve the kernel panic thing?
[02:26] <Guest578> This is my forum, new members welcome and so is talk about ubuntu. http://www.ugotit.ca
[02:26] <losha> dem0buntu: Maybe lilo, but it's wubi, so totally no guarantees....
[02:26] <ae86-drifter> dem0buntu, download "super grub disk" boot into it, it will automatically fix grub
[02:27] <ae86-drifter> super easy to use
[02:27] <The_Rufus> I have 3 kernels in my GRUB menu. The oldest one works and boots into ubuntu with no problems. The 2 more recent ones cannot see my hard drive. I'm running a RAID1 array.

[02:27] <xae8koo> My hdmi dosnt work...
[02:27] <dem0buntu> super grub disk? for wubi?
[02:27] <losha> Mike_lifeguard: because new kernels come out periodically, so when you update, you get the latest, so it's always changing, and rarely matters what the precise version is...
[02:27] <dem0buntu> it will see it?
[02:28] <ae86-drifter> dem0buntu, it should
[02:28] <dem0buntu> ok, im downloading to see what happens
[02:28] <losha> dem0buntu: uncharted territory, I think. But I agree with ae86-drifter. It *should*...
[02:28] <panfist> arghh2d2 i can't tell if you sound sarcastic or not. anyway glad i could help
[02:29] <ae86-drifter> dem0buntu, whenever i have had any grub issues, i always run that CD and 1 minute later its working perfectly
[02:29] <ae86-drifter> dem0buntu, i have not tried it with wubi, sorry
[02:29] <dem0buntu> ok, because now im getting the "load kernel first" error and sometimes kernel panic :P
[02:30] <krishna> losha : ,I am able to open the Firefox after removing .parentlock file  ,but I dont see my bookmarks ,how to get them back
[02:30] <ae86-drifter> dem0buntu, have you recently messed with partitions etc?
[02:30] <dem0buntu> default kernel working like a champ, I dont know why newer ones break
[02:30] <dem0buntu> nope
[02:31] <losha> krishna: look in .mozilla/irefox/*default/bookmarkbackups or bookmarks.bak and pray....
[02:31] <dem0buntu> I do noticed than they break when some package alter the initramfs or something like that
[02:31] <foul_owl> upgraded to karmic from jaunty. mic used to work, now doesnt. selected 7.1 + analog stereo input. no luck. tried all 6 of the other xyz + analog input. tried all 5 of the input options. mic, line, etc. no luck. any ideas?
[02:31] <dem0buntu> because I always monitor the synaptic updates on console, and this last one it broke when some packaged modified that
[02:31] <ae86-drifter> dem0buntu, can you pastebin you bootloader config file
[02:31] <ae86-drifter> menu.1st
[02:32] <losha> dem0buntu: might wanna check launchpad. It's might even be a known bug with a fix on the way...
[02:32] <ae86-drifter> im not sure if wubi uses that...
[02:32] <dem0buntu> im on grub2
[02:32] <dem0buntu> uses grub.cfg
[02:32] <ae86-drifter> ok well pastebin the contents of menu.1st then
[02:32] <ae86-drifter> oh, grub.cfg
[02:32] <ae86-drifter> im using 1.5 here
[02:32] <dem0buntu> ok, going to
[02:32] <danobook> dem0buntu, the wubi failure is fun
[02:32] <dem0buntu> now is fun, but 2 installs a go wasnt :P
[02:32] <danobook> it's apparantly due to ext4 + a beta GRUB that doesn't know ext4
[02:32] <The_Rufus> I have 3 kernels in my GRUB menu. The oldest one works and boots into ubuntu with no problems. The 2 more recent ones cannot see my hard drive. I'm running a RAID1 array. It's probably not seeing the drive due to lack of drivers (though it was working yesterday). Can someone please help me? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!
[02:33] <Phuzion> looking for a lil help regarding a possible java problem I'm having... running 8.10 with firefox 3.0.15 and I get spurratic freezing while playing Yahoo Games... I've gone through all their troubleshooting tips to no avail... anyone able to offer some suggestions?
[02:33] <danobook> dem0buntu, from what i've read, all modified files become unreadable by GRUB
[02:33] <danobook> dem0buntu, 64-bit?
[02:34] <eternaljoy> when did 9.10 come out?
[02:34] <danobook> couple months ago
[02:34] <dem0buntu> yes, I tried to read it from console and all I got was gibberish
[02:34] <dem0buntu> yup 64 bit
[02:34] <danobook> 9/10/09
[02:34] <Mike_lifeguard> The_Rufus: I doubt newer kernels have regression for RAID1!!
[02:34] <eternaljoy> danobook, the latest version 9.10 is 2 months old??  u joking?
[02:34] <danobook> eternaljoy, it was released in 9/10/09
[02:34] <danobook> two months ago or so
[02:34] <The_Rufus> Mike_lifeguard: but it was working fine yesterday and nothing has changed
[02:34] <Mike_lifeguard> The_Rufus: You should check that they are trying to boot using the right uuid
[02:35] <losha> eternaljoy: why would you think it was a joke?
[02:35] <danobook> dem0buntu, i think it's caused by 64-bit
[02:35] <danobook> dem0buntu, did you pick 30GB disk size?
[02:35] <eternaljoy> losha, i thought it was just released
[02:35] <dem0buntu> well i have read lots of forums and supposed it affects all systems
[02:35] <Mike_lifeguard> The_Rufus: That definitely points to it *not* being a magical regression in RAID1 kernel support O_o
[02:35] <eternaljoy> losha, by friend was just promoted to upgrade to 9.10 yesyerday
[02:35] <dem0buntu> no, I have 15

[02:35] <ae86-drifter> dem0buntu, :P, rewrite the config file if you know how to, or run SGD!
[02:35] <danobook> dem0buntu, i read one person who said it only happens to him on 64-bit with a 30GB disk
[02:35] <eternaljoy> losha, why only yesterday if its 2 months old?
[02:36] <danobook> ae86-drifter, SGD doesn't help with wubi much
[02:36] <danobook> it's a loopback
[02:36] <dem0buntu> im on 64 bit on 15 gb
[02:36] <ae86-drifter> danobook, oh really? i havent tried it myself, i hate wubi
[02:36] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: have you installed sun java?
[02:36] <eternaljoy> !release date for 9.10
[02:36] <losha> eternaljoy: well, you obviously don't keep up on these things. All us old-timers have been running it for 2 months. As for your pal, dunno. Maybe he's on dial-up....:-)
[02:36] <danobook> i have a sticky note on my laptop right now with the 3 commands required to boot it
[02:36] <danobook> xD
[02:36] <Phuzion> mikechelen yes of course
[02:36] <dem0buntu> here http://pastebin.com/m1e11d935
[02:37] <moymoy> anyone notice that "touch /forcefsck" doesn't schedule a fsck on reboot anymore?
[02:37] <eternaljoy> losha, :P
[02:37] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: 32 or 64 bit?
[02:37] <Mike_lifeguard> eternaljoy: it was released (as the version number implies) in October.
[02:37] <Phuzion> mikechelen that's why I said it's spurratic... sometimes it freezes.... sometimes it doesn't
[02:37] <ae86-drifter> eternaljoy, lmao

[02:37] <eternaljoy> October 29th, 2009 - Final release of Ubuntu 9.10
[02:37] <eternaljoy>   <-- Is this true?
[02:37] <Mike_lifeguard> moymoy: I did notice that, I figured I had done it wrong
[02:37] <iflema> eternaljoy: its never really every going to be ready for release.. things always change.... this is where its at.
[02:37] <Phuzion> mikechelen I really don't know?
[02:37] <MikeChelen> eternaljoy: sounds right
[02:37] <ae86-drifter> eternaljoy, yes
[02:37] <dem0buntu> i can boot it, default kernel is working fine, newer ones break
[02:37] <danobook> dem0buntu, modifying the GRUB menu apparantly causes it to be unable to read it due to teh ext4/beta grub issues
[02:38] <danobook> dem0buntu, and then the new kernels are unreadable too
[02:38] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: type "java -version" in console
[02:38] <eternaljoy> where can I download 9.10 ALTERNATIVE pls?
[02:38] <MikeChelen> !download
[02:38] <dem0buntu> so, im stuck

[02:38] <danobook> dem0buntu, i don't know abuot you but when i get the backups off this HDD i'm giong pure ubuntu
[02:39] <eternaljoy> losha, its not there. I looked.. it only gives me ability to download Deskstop
[02:39] <danobook> eternaljoy, it's there
[02:39] <Phuzion> Mikechelen java version "1.6.0_14"
[02:39] <Phuzion> Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_14-b08)
[02:39] <Phuzion> Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
[02:39] <eternaljoy> danobook, where? I can only see Desktop
[02:39] <dem0buntu> well, thing is I do use winBlows for some task at work, is mandatory, and I have another 2 partitions with 3 slack-based distros, I dont know if I can add another fur ubuntu
[02:39] <danobook> eternaljoy, click the link that mentions torrents and such
[02:40] <danobook> Alternative download options, including Ubuntu installer for Windows
[02:40] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: that all looks right, maybe try reinstalling the java firefox plugin?
[02:40] <losha> eternaljoy: sorry, http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/
[02:40] <danobook> it's somewhere in there
[02:40] <eternaljoy> danobook, I dont want the torrent... I dont have a torrent cllient.. where is ALTERNATE 9.10 ISO?
[02:40] <eco_> hi all
[02:41] <eco_> poland chanell
[02:41] <danobook> eternaljoy, in there section where it links to other things (such as torrents) there's Text-based installer ┬╗
[02:41] <danobook> clicky
[02:41] <dem0buntu> I still need 2 partitions for ubuntu? one for ext and 1 for swap?
[02:41] <losha> dem0buntu: ubuntu will boot from a logical partition, if that helps...
[02:41] <Dacvak> Hey guys, I'm having extreme difficulty installing Ubuntu using a USB stick. Could someone help me?
[02:41] <eternaljoy> danobook, only torrent ones.. but no ISO
[02:41] <MikeChelen> !download | eternaljoy
[02:41] <danobook> and you can torrent the alt too
[02:41] <Dacvak> I keep getting an error like "usb 1-2 reset high speed USB Device using ehci_hcd and address 2"
[02:41] <Phuzion> mikechelen I've worked on this w/ several people we at one point completely removed it, re-added it updated it... the odd part is that I'm running a dual boot system.... so I run win and Ubuntu on same Drive just partitioned and I'm having freeze problems in Windows too
[02:41] <danobook> The text based alternate installer can be downloaded from the complete list of download locations below.
[02:41] <danobook> did you clic k that?
[02:41] <matthew12> so it appears my cd drive is jacked up...can I install ubuntu from an external hard drive?
[02:42] <danobook> dem0buntu, yes, well you dont' *need* swap
[02:42] <losha> eternaljoy: see my url above
[02:42] <eternaljoy> I think I found it....  http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso
[02:42] <danobook> dem0buntu, but most linux users use it
[02:42] <eternaljoy> losha, yes thanks to you\
[02:42] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: it may be a system problem then, such as memory or power supply errors
[02:42] <eternaljoy> I want the Alternate so I can choose to encrypt the whole file system when installing
[02:42] <dem0buntu> but could I use like a loop swap or whatever, forgot the name :P
[02:43] <danobook> dem0buntu, or no swap :P
[02:43] <The_Rufus> how can I get to the gnome menu using only a keyboard?
[02:43] <MikeChelen> matthew12: yes, as long as your system can boot from USB
[02:43] <dem0buntu> well, i have 4 gigs here so...
[02:43] <losha> dem0buntu: depends on how much ram you have. And if you want to suspend or not...
[02:43] <Phuzion> mikechelen this computer is only a couple years old... I don't suspect memory being the problem.... however I don't think I follow you on what power would have to do with that?
[02:43] <danobook> dem0buntu, so do i
[02:43] <MikeChelen> eternaljoy: that looks like the right disk image
[02:43] <airtonix> The_Rufus, keyboard shortcuts app in the menus
[02:43] <losha> dem0buntu: what do you do for swap when you boot slack?
[02:43] <eco_> i have qiestion, someone know why on new ubuntu 9.10 wifi and rj-45 not works?
[02:43] <matthew12> it can...but I also have lots of other files on the external hd...how would I do this?
[02:43] <The_Rufus> i don't have a mouse attached
[02:43] <The_Rufus> how do I get into the menus?
[02:44] <eco_> i have laptop Acer Aspire 5739G
[02:44] <Mike_lifeguard> apt-get update is giving me an error: Duplicate sources.list entry http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/ppa.launchpad.net_ubuntu-boot_ppa_ubuntu_dists_karmic_main_binary-i386_Packages) -- however I don't see that I have any PPA duplicated in sources.list :\
[02:44] <dem0buntu> uses some dat file, cant recall, dont use it so often
[02:44] <eternaljoy> MikeChelen, yes :)
[02:44] <dem0buntu> I call it at boot time
[02:44] <matthew12> MikeChelen (sorry didnt tag you at first): it can...but I also have lots of other files on the external hd...how would I do this
[02:44] <eternaljoy> http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/ubuntu-9.10-alternate-i386.iso   <-- this is the one I needed :)
[02:44] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: if there is a something that uses the cpu alot, and the power supply is faulty, it may not be providing enough current
[02:44] <airtonix> The_Rufus, one sec there are other key combos to get there
[02:44] <_nick_> Mike_lifegaurd: go to your source.list and comment out the dupliate
[02:44] <dem0buntu> from menu.lst........mmmhhh, now that I recall, I think I dont use any swap :P
[02:44] <MikeChelen> eternaljoy: yuppers :)
[02:44] <danobook> The_Rufus, alt-F1
[02:45] <eternaljoy> MikeChelen, :-)
[02:45] <airtonix> The_Rufus, Are you using compiz?
[02:45] <eternaljoy> lokian: ty
[02:45] <The_Rufus> nope
[02:45] <danobook> The_Rufus, did alt-f1 work?
[02:45] <The_Rufus> ahh, thanks danobook
[02:45] <losha> dem0buntu: try it without swap. You can always monitor memory use and add a swapfile later if necessary. Worst case, some apps will die on you...
[02:45] <airtonix> The_Machine, ok press : alt + f1
[02:45] <Mike_lifeguard> _nick_: There is no duplicate, however one of the PPAs doesn't have source - so the deb-src line was wrong. I removed it.
[02:45] <MikeChelen> matthew12: you can set up separate partitions for file storage and boot, but it may be easier to get another USB drive
[02:45] <danobook> The_Rufus, yw
[02:45] <tvaughn> any idea why flash games would be slow on ubuntu>
[02:45] <cheesepoop> Can anyone recommend a newsreader for usenet?
[02:45] <Phuzion> mikechelen.... I suppose that COULD possibly be an issue?  I have noticed that the battery life when not running on ac has become horrible since I reinstalled Ubuntu
[02:45] <dem0buntu> I was thinking, can I transform my fat 32 to ext 4 and still boot my slack folders from the winBlows 7 bootloader?
[02:45] <_nick_> Mike_lifeguard: oh
[02:46] <randy_> any1 know y brutal chess seems slow and kinda has latency on moving your p's?
[02:46] <airtonix> The_Machine, mistell
[02:46] <emanux> hello, how recover a deleted file?
[02:46] <losha> cheesepoop: text or binaries, or both. slrn for text, klibido for binaries....
[02:46] <Mike_lifeguard> _nick_: Yeah :\ You'd think apt would give a better description of the actual problem
[02:46] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: it's only a guess, because if both windows and ubuntu are crashing, it sounds like some hardware problem
[02:46] <emanux> any tool for that matter?
[02:46] <randy_> i know it's a 3d game and I have compiz running fine
[02:46] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: usual suspects are memory, hard disk, power supply, and motherboard
[02:46] <The_Rufus> ahhh, i see. New kernel might have issues booting with only 152kb of HDD space
[02:46] <cheesepoop> losha: thanks
[02:46] <hdtdi> hey does anyone know if i can and how can i install super mario on ubuntu ?
[02:47] <airtonix> !search undelete | emanux,

[02:48] <danobook> randy_, because it's brutal

[02:48] <emanux> im using ext4 fs
[02:48] <AOC> hey guys
[02:48] <randy_> no it acts all latency and goofy when you try to move
[02:48] <AOC> i'm booting into rescue mode to recover my root password
[02:48] <MikeChelen> matthew12: do you want to install ubuntu to the external drive? or only use it for booting to install to an internal disk
[02:49] <AOC> where can I find my root passwd in cleartext once in rescue boot mode?
[02:49] <AOC> i know passwd changed it
[02:49] <AOC> but to view it?
[02:49] <blakkheim> AOC: it's not stored in cleartext
[02:49] <MikeChelen> AOC: passwords are not stored in cleartext
[02:49] <sevenseeker1> googling around for several hours, I realize now that I should just ask hereŌĆ” 'how can I copy dvd's to iso format on disk'? Nothing I have read has worked so far
[02:49] <Phuzion> mikechelen  I'm running 2 GB of memory... so as I said before that probably isn't the issue, however your theory about the power supply could be right on as well???  I noticed I don't have the power usage utility I had before when I had this system installed
[02:49] <lstarnes> AOC: and the format used cannot be converted back to cleartext
[02:49] <AOC> Istarnes, is it a hash?
[02:49] <randy_> thoggen
[02:49] <Iowan> AOC: I doubt anything will show you what it is - but you might be able to change it

[02:50] <detrix> hello everyone.  I have a question about pgp encryption.  I have encrypted a couple of files on my desktop, but when I try to decrypt them on my wifes netbook, I can't.  I have imported my key and still I can't decrypt them.  some guidance is needed.  ;)
[02:50] <_nick_> seven: burn it as a file....
[02:50] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: the memory may be faulty, regardless of size, you can check it with ubuntu livecd memtest
[02:50] <losha> emanux: is the file still in use by an application? If so, http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/58142. If not, it's gone unless you used nautilus

[02:50] <matthew12> MikeChelen I want to install ubuntu on my laptop from the ext. hd

[02:50] <losha> airtonix: looks like you've been there....
[02:50] <fizk_> Synaptic Package Manager is screwing up..........
[02:50] <fizk_> pidgin:
[02:50] <fizk_>   Depends: pidgin-data (<1:2.6.2-z) but 1:2.6.4-1ubuntu3~pidgin1.9.10 is to be installed
[02:51] <MikeChelen> matthew12: okay, use the USB startup disk creator, you can get a USB flash stick for like $10
[02:51] <fizk_>  Recommends: pidgin-libnotify but it is not going to be installed
[02:51] <airtonix> emanux, might not be what you want, since it requires the kernel to be patched prior to your loss of data
[02:51] <emanux> i delete a while ago, cause i thought i will never use it again
[02:51] <dem0buntu> i like ubuntu, more than kubuntu :D
[02:51] <randy_> are there any peer to peer guards for linux?
[02:51] <redonk> AOC, did u get all that?
[02:51] <syk> !pase | fizk_
[02:51] <blakkheim> matthew12: unetbootin
[02:51] <fizk_> I installed Pidgin using their repository, then deleted Pidgin and the repo

[02:51] <MikeChelen> dem0buntu: gnome is pretty awesome, some people like kde though
[02:51] <fizk_> now Pidgin won't install
[02:52] <MikeChelen> unetbootin does pretty much the same as usb startup disk creator, they are both fine
[02:52] <dem0buntu> i use kde 3, new one i feel little bit bloated
[02:52] <dustinrs> anyone know where to get a "Intel 2D/3D graphics accelerator" driver for ubuntu
[02:52] <randy_> is there anything you can  get?
[02:52] <dem0buntu> kde on slack distros
[02:52] <Phuzion> mikechelen I can give that a shot... sounds like my only option at this point?  that or take the shotgun to the laptop? HAHA
[02:52] <matthew12> mikechelen: ok right now I have no operating system anywhere...so I can just use the live cd on my friends computer to make the usb startup disk?
[02:52] <emanux> ubottu: recover does exist in karmic
[02:52] <fizk_> Anyone know how to fix this?
[02:52] <rick__> can someone help me figure out how to convert avi video to mp4 for my ipod?  I've tried the conversion setting in vlc player but it keeps on popping up with ffmpeg not having support for aac audio installed and I can't figure out how to install that codec.  I'm running karmic.
[02:52] <dem0buntu> little bit win-bloated :P
[02:52] <felichas>  fizk_: have you restored the repo?
[02:52] <matthew12> blakkheim: I'm sorry, what is that
[02:52] <fizk_> felichas, I've reloaded it
[02:53] <blakkheim> matthew12: google it
[02:53] <emanux> ubottu: is it good tool to recover data loss in ext4 fs?
[02:53] <tvaughn> rick__: handbrake
[02:53] <airtonix> randy_, yes there is it is called moblock
[02:53] <felichas>  fizk_: what's the error?
[02:53] <dem0buntu> rick, download the multimedia package for ubuntu
[02:53] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: haha, it's worth running diagnostic problems like that, since it's easier than swapping hardware to find what is broken. look for some similar utilities to monitor power supply voltage, and temperature sensors
[02:53] <rick__> tvaughn - handbrake is a program?  is it in synaptic?
[02:53] <blakkheim> matthew12: it will let you install an ubuntu iso on your external drive
[02:53] <airtonix> randy_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[02:53] <tvaughn> i believe so
[02:53] <randy_> how can 1 protect from snoopers when your on the Pirate's ship
[02:54] <fizk_> felichas, pidgin-2.6.2 is marked as depending on pidgin-data2.6.4
[02:54] <Phuzion> mikechelen similar utilities where? and like what?
[02:54] <fizk_> felichas, basically, the dependency is not right anymore
[02:54] <rick__> handbrake is not pulling up in my synaptic, I'll google it thanks.
[02:54] <Dacvak> Hey. I'm trying to install Ubuntu from a USB Stick. It seems like the process has stopped at "* Starting init crypto disks..."
[02:54] <rick__> dem0buntu - what multimedia package are you referring to?
[02:54] <Dacvak> Does this usually take a long tiem?
[02:54] <airtonix> !bot | emanux
[02:54] <MikeChelen> matthew12: that might work, or install unetbootin on your friend's system, to help make the usb startup disk
[02:54] <dem0buntu> let me check
[02:55] <losha> rick_:  top hit in google: http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php
[02:55] <rick__> losha - i actually just googled that site, thank you anyways
[02:55] <AOC> someone broke into my Ubuntu system :(
[02:55] <AOC> changed my root password
[02:55] <fizk_> felichas,  hmmm, aptitude let me downgrade pidgin-dadta
[02:55] <losha> rick__: it has karmic debs...
[02:55] <matthew12> blakkheim, thank you I will look into it...and Mike Chelen, thank you as well. #Ubuntu has always rescued me from my mistakes :).
[02:55] <blakkheim> AOC: how?
[02:56] <rick__> oh thank god debs, i'm getting sick of tarballs!
[02:56] <fizk_> felichas, alrighty, i'm ok
[02:56] <redonk> AOC, did u get my messages?
[02:56] <AOC> blakkheim, i haven't figured that out yet
[02:56] <AOC> redonk, the guy just changed my root password
[02:56] <Mike_lifeguard> AOC: can you still sudo?
[02:56] <redonk> AOC: there are some 0day kernel exploits going around right now
[02:56] <blakkheim> AOC: local break-in? ssh?
[02:56] <losha> rick__: handbrake is particularly nasty, it downloads and compiles source for every single codec...
[02:56] <AOC> maybe Apache or SHH
[02:57] <AOC> only services I have running really
[02:57] <rick__> losha - thats nasty in a good way correct?
[02:57] <blakkheim> losha: what's wrong with that?
[02:57] <Phuzion> mikechelen similar utilities where? and like what?
[02:57] <redonk> AOC: i wouldnt count out Kernel :) expecially if your runing ecrypt module
[02:57] <lstarnes> AOC: are you using password authentication for ssh, or have you set it to only allow public key authentication?
[02:57] <dem0buntu> i think is called non-free-codecs
[02:57] <jst> I have the following line added to /etc/crontab, and restarted the cron service: */5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/mythrename.pl ... It is not renaming my recordings, but when I run the script manually it does.  Any ideas?
[02:57] <losha> rick__: nasty in the sense that it takes *hours* to build and it won't use pre-installed libs...
[02:57] <AOC> Lstarnes, i have both
[02:57] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: there are a bunch, for example try "X Sensors" from the software center
[02:58] <rick__> losha in that case i'll let it compile overnight
[02:58] <lstarnes> AOC: disable password authentication
[02:58] <AOC> lstarnes, probably better just to disable passwd auth
[02:58] <AOC> yeah
[02:58] <lstarnes> AOC: or lock root
[02:58] <Phuzion> ok... I'll look into that?
[02:58] <dem0buntu> rick, the media is online?
[02:58] <lstarnes> AOC: I always use passwd -l root
[02:58] <jrib> jst: how did you edit that file?  Did you add a final newline?
[02:58] <rick__> dem0buntu - no, it's on my harddrive
[02:58] <redonk> AOC: just download backtrack 4, load up some rainbow files mount your file system and crack the password he set then login with out internet hooked up to the system and restore the password you want to the account
[02:58] <AOC> lstarnes, I want to decrypt the /etc/passwd file
[02:58] <lstarnes> AOC: that cannot be done
[02:58] <rick__> can't use an online converter
[02:58] <AOC> its just a hash..
[02:58] <losha> blakkheim: I got used to really fast install-then-execute that debian distros provide...
[02:59] <lstarnes> AOC: hashes are one-way
[02:59] <blakkheim> losha: i run gentoo, so..
[02:59] <redonk> AOC: uses backtrack 4 with some rainbow tables ;)
[02:59] <dem0buntu> oh, install the codecs then, and search for w32codecs or w64codecs if that is ur case
[02:59] <necromaster> Hi
[02:59] <dem0buntu> and non-free-codecs
[02:59] <losha> rick__: the deb stuff is ready compiled, no problem...
[02:59] <AOC> so your saying the the windows SAM file is not able to be decrypted too?
[02:59] <MikeChelen> AOC: it has to be brute-forced
[02:59] <dem0buntu> sudo aptitude install non-free-codecs
[02:59] <necromaster> still having the same freezen problem
[02:59] <lstarnes> AOC: it might be possible to bruteforce it
[02:59] <AOC> SAM is the file which stores passwds in windows
[02:59] <dem0buntu> sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[02:59] <AOC> lstarnes, yes
[02:59] <dem0buntu> maybe that could help  you
[02:59] <rick__> losha - cool
[02:59] <AOC> that is what I'm thinking
[02:59] <lstarnes> AOC: linux and windoes are different
[02:59] <lstarnes> *windows
[02:59] <dem0buntu> or search for medibuntu repos
[02:59] <necromaster> hello
[03:00] <AOC> windows hashes and linux hashes are still hashes tho
[03:00] <AOC> maybe jacktheripper
[03:00] <Phuzion> ughhhh..... my cdrom won't read the disk again... I have to go grab the external cd rom
[03:00] <necromaster> got the same problem since the morning
[03:00] <rick__> dem0buntu - just ran that and i already have that installed.  oh well.
[03:00] <losha> AOC: so I'm still  wondering how someone broke in and changed your root password (the one you weren't even supposed to have)....
[03:00] <necromaster> i made a clean install
[03:00] <redonk> AOC: im going to beat you with a retarted stick, i gave u help run with it or not
[03:01] <dem0buntu> mmhh what u want to transform?
[03:01] <AOC> losha, you can't login via root on ssh
[03:01] <AOC> but maybe Apache vunerability?
[03:01] <rick__> avi to mp4, let me see how this handbrake program works first that losha reccomended
[03:01] <redonk> losha, there are alot of 0day exploits out right now
[03:02] <redonk> losha; expecially for apache and the linux kernel
[03:02] <redonk> ;p
[03:02] <dem0buntu> handbrake is good
[03:02] <Phuzion> mikechelen LoL my xsensors window is blank... does that sound right?
[03:02] <memememe> hello
[03:02] <losha> redonk: apache's definitely a weak spot....
[03:02] <mazda01> keep getting failed to create initrd image because there's no file located at /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf file
[03:02] <redonk> losha: the kernel is also
[03:02] <redonk> right now that is
[03:03] <MikeChelen> Phuzion: lol not really, maybe you have to install lm-sensors as well?
[03:03] <mazda01> i have upgraded from 8.04 to 9.04 and maybe that's why? so I can't install kernel images past 2.6.28-15-generic. it fails everytime
[03:03] <losha> redonk: yes, but they have to get to the kernel first, which shouldn't be so easy if your system's tight...
[03:03] <Phuzion> mikechelen it claims it's already installed
[03:04] <redonk> losha: heh what are u talking about lol any port thats accessiable remotely has access to the kernel
[03:04]  * redonk beats losha
[03:04] <mazda01> i looked for the /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf but it's a broken symlink. it's looking the target link is "/lib/oss-compat/linux"
[03:05] <usser> redonk, eh? what? thats a ridiculous claim
[03:05] <rick__> okay handbrake seems to be working.  thank you everyone
[03:05] <airtonix> Phuzion, MikeChelen I think hardware sensors need a bit more tldr thatn just apt-get install
[03:05] <losha> redonk: well personally, I only leave ssh open and require keys, but if you run apache, that's a whole new ballgame....
[03:05] <gbear> DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found
[03:06] <gbear> I'm reaching the point where I start making human sacrifice to the computer gods
[03:06] <mac9416> Hello, will I gain any performance by formatting a flash drive as ext4? What are the downsides?
[03:06] <Phuzion> airtonix tldr?
[03:06] <losha> gbear: if I thought that would work reliably, we'd all be doing it....
[03:06] <Untouchab1e> ok, I just cant get cron to work under Ubuntu
[03:06] <airtonix> Phuzion, MikeChelen sorry i mean tlc : tender loving care
[03:06] <Untouchab1e> ive added a script that works fine from the commandline, but it just wont run through the cron
[03:06] <Untouchab1e> nothing happens
[03:07] <gbear> anyone able to help me fix a problem with my /boot... when I boot grub gives an "error: unrecognized filesystem" and fails to "grub rescue>" to which the only friggen command which exists seems to be ls
[03:07] <usser> Untouchab1e, pastebin the crontab line you're using
[03:07] <losha> mac9416: more downs that ups: ext4 is slightly faster, but lots of 3rd party tools don't work with it, so it's murder for troubleshooting....
[03:07] <redonk> losha: if any port is forwarded from the firewall to the system that has a vulnerable kernel that has an open port no matter if its apache ftp ntp ssh telnet smtp or what ever, then they can send packets that the kernel will "read" which can cause the kernel to be exploited
[03:07] <Phuzion> airtonix I think my computer is just fried in general?  everything seemed to have been running fine before
[03:07] <airtonix> Phuzion, MikeChelen you were both talking about lm-sensors : does this help ->> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[03:07] <mac9416> losha, what kind of tools?
[03:07] <losha> redonk: got a citation for that?
[03:08] <usser> redonk, thats just load of bollocks man
[03:08] <usser> redonk, you gotta stop saying stuff like that
[03:08] <rick__> here's another question, how do i switch the default auto open program from banshee to gtkpod when I plug in my ipod to my laptop?
[03:08] <airtonix> rick__, i suspect this option is in the gconf
[03:08] <gbear> anyone?
[03:08] <Untouchab1e> usser:
[03:08] <Untouchab1e> usser: http://pastebin.com/m239b9198
[03:08] <gbear> bueller?
[03:08] <losha> mac9416: oh, super grub disk, testdisk, other linuxes, 3rd party bootloader, 3rd party partitioners, etc...
[03:08] <gbear> bueller?
[03:08] <Phuzion> airtonix I think mike is gone? I'll look into this though? maybe if I can get it to install... then I'll see if it solves my problem
[03:09] <usser> redonk, kernel has nothing to do with open ports, software that listens on the port can has a vulnerability and can be exploited, kernel vulnerabilities is something else entirely
[03:09] <rick__> airtonix, what is gconf???
[03:09] <airtonix> Phuzion, it's something i need to do too, but not high in my list of priorities
[03:09] <mac9416> losha, OK, I see what you're saying. Should I go with FAT32 or NTFS then?
[03:09] <StaticShock> how can i tell gnome-do to run a program with sudo
[03:09] <opticon> in log files for ubuntu where can you find more details about kernal panics during startup?
[03:09] <airtonix> rick__, press alt+f2 : then type : gconf-editor
[03:09] <xae8koo> Hello
[03:09] <rick__> staticshock - use gksu command
[03:09] <usser> Untouchab1e, ok, pastebin the script itself, are you sure its executable
[03:09] <airtonix> rick__, it is similar in function to the windows registry
[03:10] <Untouchab1e> the script runs fine from the terminal
[03:10] <Phuzion> airtonix I hear you... I'm just trying to get my system running smoothly... this is the last bit of problems I've been working on
[03:10] <xae8koo> I want to integrate facebookchat with my gnome desktop, any easy solution?
[03:10] <losha> mac9416: my first choice would be ext3. Stable as a rock, and even windows can read it if it has to...
[03:10] <Untouchab1e> usser: http://pastebin.com/mbb53871
[03:10] <Nytek_> xae8koo, use pidgin plugin or digsb
[03:10] <xae8koo> losha: Windows can read ext3?
[03:10] <StaticShock> rick__: thanks
[03:10] <airtonix> rick__, if you follow the tree path : apps > nautilus
[03:10] <gbear> xae8koo: facebook-plugin with pidgin
[03:10] <Nytek_> xae8koo, digsby
[03:10] <git__> anyone here use netcat?
[03:10] <mac9416> xae8koo, with 3rd-party tools.
[03:10] <xae8koo> gbear: Cant get it to work...
[03:10] <usser> Untouchab1e, how do you know it doesnt run from cron, make the script create a log file with timestamps, maybe it runs, just doesnt do what its supposed to
[03:11] <losha> xae8koo: there's an ext2 driver for windows. It's a bit temperamental, but it exists....
[03:11] <xae8koo> Nytek_: Apt-gettable?
[03:11] <Untouchab1e> usser: I added an "echo done" at the end
[03:11] <Nytek_> xae8koo, i believe, if not, google digsby
[03:11] <rick__> airtonix, got that far, got any clue which value it is?
[03:11] <Untouchab1e> and when I run it from the terminal, it outputs "done" to the terminal as wel
[03:11] <mac9416> losha, OK, thanks. If I want to have a smaller partition for handy access on any Windoze machine, would I want FAT32 or NTFS?
[03:12] <losha> mac9416: almost certainly ntfs. fat32 doesn't do unix permissions very well....
[03:12] <usser> Untouchab1e, echo "done" /var/log/wireless.log, did you add this script to root's crontab? or user crontab?
[03:12] <Untouchab1e> usser: both
[03:12] <Phuzion> I give up.... this computer is just fried
[03:12] <mac9416> losha, roger that. Thanks very much for the advice.
[03:12] <losha> redonk: I hope you're off finding me a reference for your claim.....
[03:12] <xae8koo> Nytek_: It tells me to leave an email, because it isnt ready for Linux yey
[03:12] <usser> Untouchab1e, remove it from user crontab and leave it in sudo crontab -e
[03:12] <Untouchab1e> usser: tried that too :/
[03:12] <redonk> no actually i was helping someone in private chat
[03:13] <redonk> u want a proof of concept exploit for the kernel?
[03:13] <redonk> is that what your asking for?
[03:13] <movela> hi. is there a new release of jaunty? w/all or most new updates? thank you
[03:13] <losha> redonk: no, just a web page where I can read up on it...
[03:13] <movela> iso image
[03:13] <Mike_lifeguard> movela: well, there is Karmic now
[03:13] <airtonix> rick__, actually gconf-editor is not needed : open nautilus to your home folder
[03:13] <redonk> www.securityfocus.com www.packetstormsecurity.nl
[03:13] <Mike_lifeguard> movela: if you didn't want to upgrade to the newest release, then do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:13] <movela> Mike_lifeguard: i want jaunty.. karmic cannot load on my eeepc..
[03:13] <redonk> either or
[03:13] <rick__> airtonix, okay.....
[03:13] <sebsebseb> movela: no
[03:14] <movela> hardy had 2 or 3 releases before
[03:14] <sebsebseb> movela: also the updates are only security updates
[03:14] <airtonix> rick__, 1) open the edit menu from the toolbar 2) preferences 3) medai tab
[03:14] <Zimm3r> is there a reason that ubuntu 9.04 ran fine on my machine but Xubuntu  9 10 does not even have working drivers? Sorry if this is a oblivious question I'm new to this whole Linux thing.
[03:14] <sebsebseb> movela: LTS is done a bit differnetly
[03:14] <sebsebseb> movela: jaunty is not LTS
[03:14] <rick__> airtonix, found it!!  thank you!!!
[03:14] <movela> the thing is i cannot run sudo apt-get update/upgrade b/c of network issues
[03:15] <xae8koo> Nytek_: It is only windows :(
[03:15] <movela> i cannot connect wifi or wired
[03:15] <Nytek_> really?
[03:15] <Nytek_> xae8koo, really?
[03:15] <gbear> helo
[03:15] <Nytek_> xae8koo, im sorry, i saw the icon and never clicked it!
[03:15] <xae8koo> Nytek_: It says so :P
[03:16] <redonk> here is also a ubuntu warning about kernels effected: but it doesnt have the latest advisories http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-819-1
[03:16] <xae8koo> Nytek_: Thats allrigth, maybe I will get it for my windows box.
[03:16] <Nytek_> xae8koo, i use more windows application currently, so i cant run Linux too much :(
[03:16] <usser> Untouchab1e, i dont know what root command does, but the script looks a little weird, from what i understand you want to restart your network if the pings dont go through?
[03:16] <Untouchab1e> usser: correct
[03:16] <xae8koo> Nytek_: I am going all linux soon!
[03:17] <puff> What's a good GUI sftp client?
[03:17] <Nytek_> xae8koo, good luck! try out some different WM's
[03:17] <redonk> losha: but my system was exploited using 2.6.31-14-generic-pae   just not but 3 weeks ago, when i contacted the NSA about some credit card fraud that was happening
[03:17] <xae8koo> Nytek_: wm?
[03:17] <usser> Untouchab1e, why not try rewriting it a little http://pastebin.com/f607d92ce
[03:17] <Nytek_> xae8koo, window managers
[03:17] <Nytek_> xae8koo, gnome, kde, xfce, fluxbox, openbox,etc..
[03:18] <losha> redonk: do you know what happened?
[03:18] <usser> Untouchab1e, that <IP_ADDRESS> should be <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:18] <xae8koo> Nytek_: I used to prefer KDE, but now, with my new laptop it is only gnome for me. I love 4 gb ram!
[03:18] <Untouchab1e> usser: thank you, I will give it a go.. the problem is that ubuntu disconnects from the wifi network occasionally and doesnt reconnect
[03:18] <mazda01> keep getting failed to create initrd image because there's no file located at /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf file
[03:18] <mazda01> i looked for the /etc/modprobe.d/oss-compat.conf but it's a broken symlink. it's looking the target link is "/lib/oss-compat/linux"
[03:18] <Untouchab1e> thats what I am trying to fix..
[03:18] <Untouchab1e> usser: will give your version a go
[03:18] <redonk> losha: do i know what happened with what?
[03:18] <Nytek_> xae8koo, lol, lucky. I have 2.5 and i actually havent used ubuntu directly in a while now
[03:18] <Nytek_> xae8koo, i kind of miss it
[03:18] <AOC> redonk, i did investigation of the /etc/passwd file
[03:18] <losha> redonk: how was your system exploited?
[03:19] <redonk> losha through a crypt lib via kernel attack
[03:19] <usser> Untouchab1e, yea i hear you wifi sucks for me too, also instead of ifconfig up/down you should be able to run service networking restart command
[03:19] <redonk> crypt module built into the standard kernel
[03:19] <AOC> i found a backup of my old passwd file 1 week ago in the same dir
[03:19] <moymoy> Mike_lifeguard: nope.. it's just plain not working.. i thought i was doing it wrong too
[03:19] <AOC> except i never did a copy of my passwd file lol
[03:19] <Untouchab1e> usser: service networking restart only restarts eth0
[03:19] <ae86-drifter> its a hijacked kernel attack
[03:19] <Untouchab1e> usser: but not eth1
[03:20] <usser> Untouchab1e, hm
[03:20] <AOC> losha, i used diff on the 2 passwd files and found a new group added
[03:20] <AOC> a mail group, that the attacker added
[03:20] <xae8koo> Nytek_: It is pure awesomeness. I get my text directly on screen, and I can reply. If I get fb chat working I will be completly satisfied.
[03:21] <losha> redonk: so what do I need to look at so I can evaluate my (and other people's) risk?
[03:21] <mazda01> what the heck! my ubuntu machine can't access the share list of my windows 7 machine
[03:21] <mazda01> anyone help please?
[03:22] <lazydragoon> i got a problem i try to do a audio chat in amsn but i install farsight2 and still tell me its not install someone got a answer ?
[03:22] <mazda01> smbtree fails and nautilus fails to retrieve share list. i have enabled sharing on win 7 for the public folders as well as the Users/Daniel/MyVideos folder but nothing on ubuntu side
[03:23] <mine> when update ,where are  the deb package downloaded
[03:23] <redonk> losha: i ended up taking the latest kernel from kernel.org and compiling it with out the encrypted file system module
[03:23] <Untouchab1e> usser: your script is running at least.. I made it write out some stuff to a txt file at the end, and it does
[03:24] <david> hi
[03:24] <usser> Untouchab1e, through cron?
[03:24] <usser> Untouchab1e, through the root crontab right?
[03:24] <usser> Untouchab1e, cause mine wouldnt work on user's crontab
[03:24] <mazda01> brb
[03:25] <usser> Untouchab1e, and it actually does nothing if pings go through.
[03:25] <usser> Untouchab1e, try putting an else statement, with echo "internet is working" > /var/log/wireless.log
[03:25] <xae8koo> Empathy says network error every time I try to connect to fb connect!
[03:25] <losha> redonk: I don't seem able to find anything matching your description on http://securityreason.com/exploit_alert....
[03:25] <opticon> from grub when i choose to boot Linux version 2.6.31-16-generic a few seconds later get kernal panic not syncing vfs something about it cant mount root
[03:25] <Untouchab1e> usser: I dont know if it actually works yet, I just know it runs
[03:26] <opticon> when i choose Linux version 2.6.31-14-generic system boots up
[03:26] <Untouchab1e> usser: going to test it now.. hold on
[03:27] <opticon> i only got this after i run the updates that where pushed out
[03:28] <opticon> and i installed ubuntu 9.10 with wubi
[03:28] <Untouchab1e> usser: dont think the script works :/
[03:28] <losha> Untouchab1e: the script looks ok. Personally I'd wrap it in a while loop and add a sleep 5 at the bottom. It'll have to be run as root of course....
[03:28] <cheeko> guys i installed ubuntu 8.10 it seems to work fine
[03:28] <usser> Untouchab1e, cool, modify it just a bit, here something like that http://pastebin.com/f3c15fca5
[03:29] <LizardK|ng> my state is going to be legalizing medical marijuana
[03:29] <cheeko> but the later releases dont seem to work
[03:29] <LizardK|ng> :D
[03:29] <ZombieWill> weird question but, anyway to set ubuntu to run in low graphics mode permanently?
[03:29] <redonk> losha, doesnt mean that the hole isnt their
[03:29] <ae86-drifter> ZombieWill, apt-get remove nvidia*
[03:29] <usser> Untouchab1e, see what gets outputted to /var/log/wireless.log when its run
[03:29] <Untouchab1e> usser: thanks.. Il give it a go, and it has to be on sudo crontab..
[03:30] <usser> Untouchab1e, yes, otherwise it just wont work
[03:30] <Untouchab1e> usser: what if its on both?
[03:30] <Untouchab1e> both user and root?
[03:30] <Untouchab1e> I think that is what it was now
[03:30] <xzachtmx> I have been having problems with gdm 2.28 in ubuntu 9.10 (gnome stopped booting for some reason) so I downgraded to 2.20 but now the cursor dosent even show!!! how can I fix this or at least get 2.28 again and go from there
[03:31] <losha> Untouchab1e: a regular user doesn't have permission to run ifconfig up/down, so that part just won't have any effect for a user...
[03:31] <usser> Untouchab1e, user's crontab is just going to fail, since it doesnt have permissions to do ifconfig
[03:31] <ZombieWill> ae86: thanks
[03:31] <opticon> xzachtmx you install ubuntu with wubi?
[03:31] <xzachtmx> no just from DVD
[03:31] <biabia> how do i upgrade from 8.10 to 9.10
[03:32] <LizardK|ng> wubi is a great way to dualboot
[03:32] <usser> biabia, you gotta go through 9.04
[03:32] <ae86-drifter> LizardK|ng, i strongly disagree
[03:32] <biabia> usser hmm how do i do that
[03:32] <losha> LizardK|ng: actually, it's an *easy* way to dual-boot, but it tends to be buggy.....
[03:32] <opticon> it was but seems updates for kernal makes ubuntu fail to boot
[03:32] <usser> biabia, sudo update-manager -d i think
[03:32] <usser> !upgrade
[03:32] <opticon> http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1317397
[03:33] <LizardK|ng> ae86-drifter: the disadvantages are that disk i/o is a bit slower, and you can't hibernate, but there is no chance of screwing up your windows install
[03:33] <opticon> thats problem ive ran into so far with wubi
[03:33] <Untouchab1e> usser: ok, new script up and running on the sudo crontab..
[03:33] <biabia> usser: thankie
[03:33] <Untouchab1e> will check the log in a min
[03:33] <xzachtmx> I'm not dual booting gnome just stopped working
[03:33] <opticon> wubi is much faster than vm tho
[03:33] <LizardK|ng> i have wubi on a laptop and a desktop with no issues at all
[03:33] <ae86-drifter> LizardK|ng, if you know what your diong, you wont stuff it up, better, you wouldn't use windows
[03:33] <usser> Untouchab1e, alright
[03:33] <Untouchab1e> ok, its obviously running
[03:33] <Untouchab1e> since the log file is up
[03:33] <BitEncrypt> how do I completely remove kde wallet service
[03:34] <Untouchab1e> usser: I guess I should try to put down eth1 and see if it comes back up again
[03:34] <losha> xzachtmx: try purging and then reinstalling the latest gdm. If it still doesn't work, we can try troubleshooting it...
[03:34] <LizardK|ng> ae86-drifter: it's damn easy to f up creating partitions and you know it
[03:34] <xzachtmx> how do I do that from terminal?
[03:34] <laeg> how do i issue two commands on one line? i'd like something like screen -dR + gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Irssi
[03:35] <usser> Untouchab1e, now that i think about ifconfig down/up doesnt have any effect on my system ie the network interface is not restarted
[03:35] <unop> laeg, separate them with a  ;
[03:35] <ae86-drifter> LizardK|ng, no, its not easy, like i said, if you know what your doing
[03:35] <Untouchab1e> usser: :/
[03:35] <losha> xzachtmx: try: sudo apt-get purge gdm; sudo apt-get install gdm
[03:35] <usser> laeg, or &&
[03:35] <xzachtmx> ok Ty Lisha
[03:35] <LizardK|ng> losha, i had some issues on my desktop when i forgot to remove the cd before rebooting, but once it was set up, i've had no issues with wubi
[03:35] <itai> hi, is there a software that can help me edit a track out of an mp3 , like take the bass line out or the drums ?
[03:35] <xzachtmx> Losha lol
[03:36] <ae86-drifter> LizardK|ng, it maybe easy for a n00b to f up partition
[03:36] <lazydragoon> i got a problem i try to do a audio chat in amsn but i install farsight2 and still tell me its not install someone got a answer ?
[03:36] <usser> laeg, the difference is ; executes next command regardless && only if the previous command succeeds
[03:36] <ae86-drifter> but its quite straight forward
[03:36] <Untouchab1e> usser: I thought about something like this: http://pastebin.com/m73390495
[03:36] <laeg> unop: ty
[03:36] <LizardK|ng> ae86-drifter: i know what i'm doing but i still prefer to not have to if that is an option
[03:36] <Untouchab1e> but again, it doesnt affect eth1, only eth0
[03:36] <Untouchab1e> and you're right.. the current script doesnt work
[03:36] <laeg> usser: ty, i found ; on google but it didn't tell me about && and certainly not the difference :)
[03:36] <ae86-drifter> LizardK|ng, each to his own :P i wont compromise anything, i love performance :P
[03:37] <BitEncrypt> how do i completely remove kde wallet
[03:37] <unop> laeg, the bash manpage would tell you better than google
[03:37] <LizardK|ng> ae86-drifter: i'm using wubi on a desktop that's acting as a file server.  no performance issues
[03:37] <losha> xzachtmx: I was serious...
[03:37] <ae86-drifter> LizardK|ng, whatever dude
[03:38] <usser> Untouchab1e, hm although i never used it myself you can probably try NetworkManager, i think it has some commandline options to restart interfaces
[03:38] <LizardK|ng> rather than not use wubi, you'll get more performance by disabling compiz
[03:38] <xzachtmx> huh? I was saying Ty for responding
[03:38] <arghh2d2> what is wubi?
[03:38] <ae86-drifter> LizardK|ng, ITS IS SLOWER full stop.
[03:38] <usser> Untouchab1e, are you using network manager at all?
[03:38] <usser> Untouchab1e, or is it like a server setup?
[03:38] <demonspork> !wubi arghh2d2
[03:38] <Untouchab1e> usser: I am running a default ubuntu 9.04 installation, so i think I am
[03:38] <demonspork> !wubi | arghh2d2
[03:39] <Untouchab1e> LizardK|ng: last time I checked, Wubi doesnt even support hibernation..?
[03:39] <arghh2d2> ahhh, wubi sounds girly
[03:39] <BitEncrypt> ubottu: how do I completely remove kde wallet
[03:40] <xzachtmx> ok losha I have typed that in and a blue screen pops up asking to configure gdm2.20 and when I select gdm as the default display manager it exits with the error:  syntax error: "(" expected
[03:40] <losha> itai: not really. The separate tracks no longer exist in an mp3, they're all smushed together. The best you can manage would be to filter parts of the spectrum. It's not very effective. You could try Audacity  but imo, nothing beats adobe audition which is windows only...
[03:40] <xzachtmx> it dosent seem to remove it :s
[03:40] <losha> xzachtmx: which release version is this?
[03:40] <LizardK|ng> Untouchab1e: i never hibernate, and thats the only thing you'll be missing
[03:40] <laeg> screen -dR; gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Irssi or && instead of ; doesn't work - where am i going wrong and also, do i need to tell it to execute the second command inside screen rather than another term?
[03:40] <cheeko> BitEncrypt: u can come to #kubuntu
[03:40] <Untouchab1e> LizardK|ng: well, that and performance..
[03:41] <BitEncrypt> thx
[03:41] <i_is_broke> BitEncrypt, have you checked to see if you could remove it in synaptics? under manager
[03:41] <ae86-drifter> LizardK|ng, if i switched to wubi i would miss my data transfer rate among many other things
[03:41] <itai> losha, if i find the CD version would i be able to use audacity ? is adobe audition free?
[03:41] <Untouchab1e> usser: any ideas? :/
[03:41] <LizardK|ng> Untouchab1e: performance hit is minimal
[03:41] <laeg> !webmin
[03:41] <isolat3dsh33p> !topic
[03:41] <laeg> !ebox
[03:41] <LizardK|ng> ae86-drifter: what data transfer rate would that be?
[03:41] <xzachtmx> ubuntu 9.10 gdm 2.20 downgraded from 2.28
[03:41] <isolat3dsh33p> !ot
[03:41] <BitEncrypt> no
[03:42] <usser> Untouchab1e, hang on
[03:42] <ae86-drifter> LizardK|ng, i don't know it doesnt really matter, bottom line is Wubi has NO advantages other than ease of setup for new users
[03:42] <Untouchab1e> usser: thanks for your help so far mate.. really appreciate it
[03:42] <faryshta> Hi, how can I configure lastfm on exaile music player?
[03:42] <BitEncrypt> i removed it using ubuntu software center
[03:42] <laeg> !ebox
[03:42] <losha> itai: adobe audition costs big bucks. Audacity is free. Same problem with the CD version, the individual track information is long gone, all you get is the mix...
[03:42] <laeg> crap
[03:42] <laeg> screen -dR; gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Irssi or && instead of ; doesn't work - where am i going wrong and also, do i need to tell it to execute the second command inside screen rather than another term?
[03:42] <BitEncrypt> and it still comes up when i run bilbo
[03:42] <FloodBot1> laeg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:42] <i_is_broke> BitEncrypt, just as good.
[03:43] <i_is_broke> BitEncrypt, maybe not, try removing it with synaptics then..just type in kdewallet.
[03:43] <LizardK|ng> ae86-drifter: and someone who wants to use ubuntu right NOW and doesn't want to spend a day backing up and cussing at his computer
[03:43] <faryshta> Anyone here use exaile?
[03:43] <BitEncrypt> k
[03:43] <xzachtmx> Losha: ubuntu 9.10 and gdm 2.20 downgraded from 2.28(if that is what you needed)
[03:43] <usser> Untouchab1e, try service network-manager restart
[03:43] <ae86-drifter> i resized my vista partition on a new laptop and installed karmic in less than an hour yesterday
[03:43] <LizardK|ng> i could recommend portable-ubuntu, but i wont
[03:44] <losha> xzachtmx: I just checked. I'm running 9.10 with gdm 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 and of course, I don'
[03:44] <losha> xzachtmx: I just checked. I'm running 9.10 with gdm 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 and of course, I don't see the problem you report....
[03:44] <laeg> screen -dR; gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Irssi or && instead of ; doesn't work - where am i going wrong and also, do i need to tell it to execute the second command inside screen rather than another term?
[03:44] <usser> Untouchab1e, instead of ifconfig down/up
[03:44] <Untouchab1e> usser: that might actually work :D
[03:44] <Untouchab1e> let me try
[03:44] <xzachtmx> I know it was working fine until now
[03:44] <BitEncrypt> nothin came up
[03:44] <Untouchab1e> btw, how do I abort a shutdown? shutdown -a?
[03:45] <losha> xzachtmx: did you change something ? A reinstall is supposed to overwrite all the gdm files....
[03:46] <laeg>  !ssh
[03:46] <xzachtmx> every time I try to remove gdm-2.20 it asks me to configure it and no matter what I do it mercer finishes the removal
[03:46] <BitEncrypt> when i run bilbo blogger kde still comes up
[03:46] <ae86-drifter> i have Webmin running fine on 9.04 server
[03:46] <itai> losha, really ? so if even in  a CD i would not be able to separate the a bass line from the rest of the music ? hwo do people do it then?
[03:46] <xzachtmx> no losha I was installing sdl libraries R the time
[03:48] <laeg> unop: usser: screen -dR; gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=Irssi or && instead of ; doesn't work - where am i going wrong and also, do i need to tell it to execute the second command inside screen rather than another term?
[03:48] <losha> itai: well people don't. At the studio, these things are kept on separate tracks, but for the final cut, the tracks are all mixed together and all you get is the final mix....
[03:48] <faryshta> Can you recommend me a music player with lastfm synchronization?
[03:48] <blakkheim> faryshta: mpd + mpdscribble
[03:48] <itai> losha - thanks for the info, i guess i'm just too old.....
[03:49] <losha> itai: dude, it's been this way since vinyl....
[03:49] <j9xinca> hey anyone here got a min? im wondering about what linux to use. Ive been using ubuntu for a while
[03:49] <arghh2d2> rythmbox plays well with lastfm too
[03:49] <LizardK|ng> laeg: run screen, then start your application.  you won;t be starting screen that way very often, as you'll usually just be reconnecting to your existing screen
[03:49] <faryshta> blakkheim, what is it?
