[13:58] <AnAnt> Hello, I need help about some setup, I got an Ubuntu machine in my network that I use as a server, I got bind9 installed on it, and I got a router that runs DHCP, the question is: is it possible to configure the DNS server on Ubuntu to get the hostname,ipaddress pairs from the router's DHCP service ?

[14:00] <Jhongimal> boba: strange.
[14:00] <abhijit> !wifi | sinman
[14:01] <Jhongimal> boba: I was just going to suggest trying ffmpeg-extra in the medibuntu repository
[14:01] <Jhongimal> but I guess if you compiled from source you should be good to go anyway
[14:01] <evox> ciao
[14:01] <boba> Jhongimal: should i try that
[14:01] <root_> irc french merci

[14:07] <Turbolinux> Hello everyone. What is the way of using Windows supported scanner in VirtualBox?
[14:07] <Bo|Su> this has for 3 years. they have changed nothing, ive been down a week
[14:07] <marc_wawa> exit
[14:07] <sam_sam> abhijit: ty but too less info to underrstand .. i will find on internet btw
[14:08] <Turbolinux> Can you help me for my setup? Thank you for your guiding.
[14:09] <boba> jrib: [swscaler @ 0x887f500]No accelerated colorspace conversion found when using OpenCV on Ubuntu 10.04 while trying ./bgfg_segm tree.avi
[14:09] <boba> jrib: please tell me if you have any idea on this
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> Turbolinux:  You need to use virtualbox from teh VBOX homepage not the 'free/ose' version in the repos. in order for vbox to see usb devices.
[14:09] <bobstro> Bo|Su:  anything change on your end?
[14:10] <Bo|Su> not that im aware of..
[14:10] <bobstro> Bo|Su:  what are they using for wireless security?
[14:11] <Bo|Su> bluesocket login
[14:11] <Verminator> I need suggestions for an easy to use, FOSS, donor management system.  Any suggestions?
[14:11] <Turbolinux> Dr_Wills: I installed the standard version already. Is there another step?
[14:11] <boba> Jordan_U: Hi, please tell me if you have any idea on [swscaler @ 0x887f500]No accelerated colorspace conversion found when using OpenCV on Ubuntu 10.04 while trying ./bgfg_segm tree.avi
[14:12] <bobstro> Bo|Su:  is your machine associating to the network? are you getting an IP address?
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> Turbolinux:  a quick read of teh virtualbox manual/pdf from their homepage expalins how to set it up to access usb devices. Ive rarely needed to do so, add the device in the config settings, then a button/menu at the bottom of the vbox window is all i rember.
[14:12] <pat|nG> how can i make a remote desktop? like i want to remote my pc using my laptop? is it possible? my desktop was xp and i got 10.04 lucid
[14:12] <bobstro> Bo|Su:  plan b is to bring up a windows machine, have tech support help you get THAT working, then replicate the steps on linux.
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> !vnc | pat|nG
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  on a local lan. vnc can do that. install vnc viewer on windows. use the gnome-remote desktop feature
[14:13] <abhijit> pat|nG, try teamviwer
[14:13] <Bo|Su> Yes I can connect, configure and get an ip with an appropriate subnet. I still can get a single packet to ping even the DNS
[14:13] <Turbolinux> I will look for it. Thank you for your help.
[14:13] <bobstro> pat|nG:  if the remote (desktop) is windows, you can use gnome-rdp.
[14:13] <Bo|Su> cant***
[14:13] <sam_sam> lol
[14:14] <boba> Hi, please tell me if you have any idea on [swscaler @ 0x887f500]No accelerated colorspace conversion found when using OpenCV on Ubuntu 10.04 while trying ./bgfg_segm tree.avi
[14:14] <bobstro> Bo|Su:  is the ip in the right range? can you compare it to a working (win or linux) machine?
[14:14] <bobstro> pat|nG:  that's what i use for my work laptop. you have to allow remote access on the XP machine, though home versions may not have it.
[14:15] <Bo|Su> yes, its exactly correct. As is the virtual windows machine. I cannot get windows to login, though I do not have a problem with bsd and the same iptables
[14:16] <bobstro> Bo|Su:  wait... is it the physical machine that can't log in, or the virtual?
[14:16] <Bo|Su> both
[14:17] <Hald> anyone who can help me install f-spot 0.8 on ubuntu 9.10?
[14:17] <bobstro> Bo|Su:  so it associates, it gets an IP address but you can't ping anything?
[14:17] <abhijit> Hald, whats the problem?
[14:17] <Bo|Su> correct.
[14:18] <Hald> abhijit: I can't find a deb package that works for karmic
[14:18] <ZykoticK9> Wireshark on an EEEPC 1005PE doesn't have an available "interfaces"?  any suggestions?

[14:20] <zorn> how do i connect throught CLI to hidden ESSID with password ?
[14:20] <abhijit> Hald, why dont you instal from source?
[14:21] <ZykoticK9> bobstro, LOL - thanks!  that was the issue (pebkac)
[14:21] <abhijit> Martens1984, what is wingdows ad/dc?
[14:21] <yeastwars> zorn: I forgot how to use them exactly, but it's with iwlist and iwconfig
[14:21] <yeastwars> zorn: and possibly wpa_supplicant if it's WPA encryption
[14:21] <Martens1984> abhijit: Active Directory/Domain Controller
[14:21] <abhijit> Martens1984, ohh
[14:22] <Hald> abhijit: I get configure: error: missing required Mono 2.0 assembly: Mono.Simd.dll
[14:22] <Hald> Dunno what to do
[14:22] <boba> can someone assist me in setting up OpenCV on Ubuntu 10.04
[14:22] <boba> ?
[14:22] <boba> I ran into some problems with the OpenCV installation guides on the internet
[14:23] <bobstro> Martens1984:  only enough to point you to the samba documentation.
[14:24] <slow-motion> hi
[14:25] <Martens1984> bobstro: I gues that won't be enough, I keep getting the next error
[14:25] <Martens1984> Error: Lsass Error [code 0x00080047]
[14:26] <bobstro> Martens1984:  sorry i can't help more. have you tried samba support? (i'm not sure if they have an irc channel, or just the mailing list)
[14:26] <leetom> /help
[14:27] <abhijit> Hald, go to this page http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/f-spot and go to very bottom there is link to 32 bit and 64 bit version of fspot to download
[14:27] <abhijit> leetom, ask
[14:27] <ewook> !help > leetom
[14:27] <Martens1984> bobstro: does this involve a problem with samba? Im not sure what Lsass does/means
[14:27] <csgeek> I'm trying to setup a basic bridge networking.. but despite having iface eth0 inet manual
[14:27] <csgeek> eth0 keeps grabbing an IP
[14:28] <zorn> SI0CSIFFLAGS: unknown error 132
[14:28] <bobstro> Martens1984:  aren't you using samba to integrate?
[14:28] <Hald> abhijit: ah. Thanks but that just tells me a libcairo2 (>= 1.10.0)
[14:28] <zorn> what s going wrong ?
[14:28] <bobstro> Martens1984:  i just assumed so
[14:28] <abhijit> Hald, no
[14:28] <Martens1984> bobstro: no, Samba works fine
[14:28] <abhijit> Hald, there is f-spot 0.8.0 .deb to download
[14:29] <abhijit> Hald, read my msg carefully
[14:29] <Martens1984> bobstro: I want to loging with my AD accounts
[14:29] <bobstro> Martens1984:  i have read of integrating samba on linux into AD, but don't have any experience. but it's all samba, from what i understand.
[14:29] <abhijit> Hald, you want 32 or 64 bit version?
[14:29] <Hald> 32
[14:30] <abhijit> Hald, go to this page http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/f-spot/download and download from your near mirror
[14:30] <bobstro> Martens1984:  if not samba, how are you trying to integrate linux into AD?
[14:30] <Hald> so I go here, http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/f-spot/download and try to install the deb package and then it says i have a dependancy error libcairo2 (>= 1.10.0)
[14:30] <Martens1984> csgeek: iface eth0 inet manual or iface eth0 static?
[14:30] <abhijit> Hald, yah then install that lib from synaptic
[14:30] <Martens1984> bobstro: likewise
[14:30] <csgeek> manual
[14:30] <Martens1984> csgeek: try static
[14:31] <Martens1984> csgeek: worked for me
[14:31] <BluesKaj> 'morning folks
[14:31] <abhijit> hi BluesKaj
[14:32] <Martens1984> bobstro: I'm trying to make my Ubuntu machine a member of my working domain
[14:32] <csgeek> I want it to bring up eth0 but not give it an IP.  did you just bring it up and assign it <IP_ADDRESS>?
[14:32] <jcrawford> is there any way to get the trackpad on a macbook pro to work with Ubuntu?  I mean two fingers to scroll down the pages etc.
[14:32] <Hald> abhijit: But i'm on karmic version of ubuntu and there is no newer version of  libcairo2 1.8.8
[14:32] <Sbioko> How to upgrade PHP to 5.3.3 version?
[14:32] <Sbioko> Ubuntu 9.10
[14:32] <abhijit> Hald, then in the same way find the latest version of that library from packages.ubuntu.com and install it
[14:33] <bobstro> Martens1984:  and you've seen these sorts of things? http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/40983 (LDAP authentication against AD) ?
[14:33] <Martens1984> csgeek: I did not bridge it. But for my Ubuntu machine being a DHCP server I want it to have a static IP... for some time it kept getting an IP from the other DHCP server though
[14:33] <abhijit> Hald, see here http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/i386/libcairo2/download
[14:33] <Martens1984> bobstro: that might just be what i'm looking for
[14:33] <bobstro> Martens1984:  this one seems to cover the samba stuff - http://blog.scottlowe.org/2007/01/15/linux-ad-integration-version-4/
[14:34] <bobstro> Martens1984:  again though, have not done myself
[14:34] <csgeek> oh.. I know static would work to give it an IP.. not sure about what I'm doing though.. worth a try anyways
[14:34] <sinman> k I went thru wifi documents and still no luck. had friend over last night and he thought it would be funny to reinstall ubuntu. because of it I lost everything and my wireless was working great up to that point
[14:35] <Martens1984> bobstro: I'll read it, try it error it and try it some more
[14:35] <Martens1984>  :D
[14:35] <abhijit> sinman, reinstallation != fun
[14:35] <sid> All the best! :)
[14:36] <jcrawford> is there any way to get the trackpad on a macbook pro to work with Ubuntu?  I mean two fingers to scroll down the pages etc.
[14:36] <bobstro> Martens1984:  good luck. it's something i've wanted to do, but just never got to.
[14:36] <abhijit> how to disable/uncheck a repo from terminal?
[14:36] <sinman> abhijit: yes it is as long as things was backed up, and my storage partition don't get touch, but that wasn't the case, he did a install to take the entire disk
[14:36] <abhijit> sinman, hmm
[14:36] <BluesKaj> sinman, funny to reinstall ?
[14:37] <csgeek> well. .that fixes it.. but goes against all the howtos
[14:37] <Hald> abhijit: ok. I tryed that, libcairo2_1.10.0 needs libc6_2.12.1 and libc6_2.12.1 is in conflict with libc6-i686. I will search and see if I  can upgrade libc6-i686 also
[14:37] <Martens1984> csgeek: lol
[14:38] <abhijit> Hald, yes now you need to do this all manualy. now i have reported getdeb to add fspot to their repo so in future we might have fspot latest version easily
[14:38] <sinman> BluesKa: if I was the one doing it then it would be fun, because i was using LVM couple hours after i had cooled off from it I redid everything and got everything partitioned like I use to had it.
[14:38] <evan_> i have a weird bug going on maybe someone can help me out
[14:38] <bobstro> evan_:  it is possible
[14:39] <evan_> i installed a theme, but the background colors of the window are only displaying correctly when i run programs as root
[14:39] <Hald> ahh. thanks. I will keep working on this so I might have f-spot 0.8 later. Thanks for your help, abhijit. Thanks alot
[14:39] <abhijit> Hald, welcome!
[14:39] <evan_> for example if i do "sudo nautilus" it displays correctly, but just opening nautilus normally breaks the theme
[14:39] <sid> theme name?
[14:39] <evan_> elegant gnome
[14:39] <evan_> it was a pack that self-installed
[14:40] <zorn> how do i display versioin of wifi module ?
[14:40] <abhijit> Hald, i just forgot to tell you there is search future in packages.ubuntu.com at the mid or botttom of the page . use it and set versino to any. just in case you dont know
[14:40] <zorn> like ath5k
[14:40] <abhijit> zorn, apt-cache policy <package>
[14:41] <zorn> thats not package
[14:41] <sinman> for some reason I can't get my wireless to work now. iwconfig doesn't see my wireless and the drivers are installed

[14:43] <quant> radeon 3600 HD, proprietary drivers
[14:43] <Hald> abhijit: I don't dare remove libc6-i686 that is in conflict with latest libc6 since removing libc6-i686 will remove "ubuntu minimal" wich have to do with stuffs like, boot, detect hardware and stuffs...
[14:43] <abhijit> Hald, ok
[14:44] <abhijit> Hald, what about version upgrade? karmic to lucid?
[14:44] <skywalkgr> hello :)

[14:46] <LoRez> is 64 bit flash support a FAQ yet?
[14:46] <avinash_hm> hi , i am working with an ubuntu filesystem on omap ... a filesystem is present in server .. when i mount it directly , it works ... when i copy that filesystem into my local pc and use it, it gives this error on trying sudo "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/rc.pvr start"
[14:46] <abhijit> LoRez, there is no 64 bit flash yet
[14:46] <avinash_hm> "sudo: must be setuid root"
[14:46] <Hald> abhijit: Its more stable and what I have heard, its fSTER
[14:46] <LoRez> abhijit: incorrect.
[14:46] <abhijit> LoRez, i mean officialy from adobe
[14:46] <sid> skywalkgr: What's the error message?
[14:46] <Hald> *faster
[14:47] <abhijit> Hald, what is fSTER?

[14:48] <phanter> does anybody know a tool to convert a motion jpg to separate images (i found how to do it the otherway around)
[14:48] <abhijit> Hald, hmm
[14:48] <skywalkgr> when i execute the install ubuntu icon (the one at the desktop) at the step 4 (partition) there is NO partitions or disks to choose :(
[14:49] <Verminator> phanter, you m,ight look at the convert command.  I know it converts all sorts of images.  IT may also convert movies to stills
[14:49] <Hald> abhijit: I heard that shotwell will replace f-spot in Ubuntu distro. I tryed shotwell but did not like it at all. Its faster than my f-spot 0.6 but I want to stay with f-spot

[14:50] <BluesKaj> phanter, avidemux ?
[14:50] <abhijit> Hald, yah i also ddnt tried shotwell. fspot it nice
[14:51] <avinash_hm> Hi, any one familiar with this error "ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/rc.pvr start" --> "sudo: must be setuid root"
[14:51] <sid> the shotwell in ubuntu repo doesn't support .png!
[14:51] <abhijit> LoRez, i think its still not ready for all users. they have mentioned that its 'developer preview release'
[14:51] <qwert> If a system gets shut down due power cut. how it affects ubuntu?
[14:51] <Hald> abhijit: I have an old laptop and big photos. So f-spot is kinda slow. I hope that it will become faster for me in 0.8
[14:51] <abhijit> Hald, me too!!! :D
[14:52] <qwert> Hald: Digikam
[14:52] <Hald> qwert: Yhea, I tryed that too but didn't like it as much as I do with f-spot
[14:53] <Hald> its a good candidate though

 "sudo: no valid sudoers sources found, quitting"
[15:57] <avinashhm> * orbarron1 has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
 any one faced this issue ??
[15:57] <FloodBot3> avinashhm: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:58] <mbeierl> dajhorn: no, never.
[15:58] <erickj92> Yes Psychodelius , this all started after I ran a GRUB install command about 10 minutes ago.
[15:58] <Emanon> anyways can someone tell me how to alter the resolution of my encryption passphrase entry screen?
[15:59] <dajhorn> mbeierl: Okay, then with 4GB, you don't need swap space.  One way to diagnose is `sudo swapoff -a` and let the computer run overnight.  If memory pressure happens, then the OOM killer will wake up,  nail some processes, and log it.
[15:59] <mbeierl> dajhorn: excellent idea, thanks!
[15:59] <dajhorn> mbeierl: Welcome.
[15:59] <Psychodelius> erickj92: I am   assuming you are using ext3 file system here?
[15:59] <erickj92> Yes
[16:00] <Psychodelius> erickj92: Was there any error messages during the install ?
[16:00] <erickj92> Well I had to force it to install on my partition instead of the MBR. It went fine after I forced it
[16:00] <mbeierl> dajhorn: what the...?  ok, this system is hurting - gonna reboot it: swapoff: /dev/sdc2: swapoff failed: Cannot allocate memory
[16:01] <Psychodelius> erickj92: sorry for asking like mad, but I am trying to get a handle of the issue here....
[16:01] <omani> does anyone know how I can reset my Ipod Shuffle? I destroyed the partition table. I can't figure out how I should repartition the device. any ideas?
[16:01] <erickj92> No problem, I'm trying to get an handle on it too :)
[16:01] <Psychodelius> erickj92: so the install was fine, huh?......hmmmm
[16:01] <dajhorn> mbeierl: The swapoff command should succeed immediately after a reboot.
[16:01] <erickj92> It was fine, it just wasn't happy that I forced it to install on my sda5 partition
[16:01] <ah544li> I am using wubi installer, shall I install it in C drive and of ubuntu OS of how much GB?
[16:02] <sid> I have a 2G RAM/ Ubuntu 10.04 32bit. Is it safe to set my swappiness to 0? I don't use video editing/heavyApps.
[16:02] <erickj92> sid: I'd still at least keep 2 GB of swap
[16:03] <Psychodelius> erickj92: You know what? erickj92? I think there is a problem with even recognising that a partition exists, let alone its file system
[16:03] <erickj92> Psychodelius: It may be worth mentioning that the Windows partition on the same HDD mounts fine
[16:03] <sid> erickj92. As a safety measure? I'm a n00b :P
[16:04] <Psychodelius> erickj92: well it is not window's fault, that's for sure
[16:04] <mbeierl> dajhorn: but it is very ... interesting ... that with a reported 1g free of memory, I'm getting swapoff failed - cannot allocate memory...
[16:04] <erickj92> Psychodelius: Would you recomend formatting said partition and re-installing Linux as a definate measure?
[16:04] <Psychodelius> erickj92: sounds like grub problem
[16:05] <dajhorn> mbeierl: Do you have VMs that automatically start?     I've got 1.8g of swap in use!  that's why I can't swapoff... what!
[16:05] <mbeierl> dajhorn: no, they don't auto start.
[16:05] <Psychodelius> erickj92: sigh, well, might have to....if yo want to redce the dabbling around
[16:05] <erickj92> Psychodelius: What I'd honestly like to do is get rid of Linux on this computer, because i want to sell it. How would I go about getting rid of LInux and sitll being able to boot Windows?
[16:06] <dajhorn> mbeierl: That means that your system is indeed overcommitted for memory.  Did the swapoff command fail immediately after a reboot?
[16:06] <erickj92> I mean, if I delete the partition GRUB will be gone so I won't have a boot-loader
[16:06] <dajhorn> sid: Changing the swappiness is safe.  You'll probably get the desired result by setting 40 instead of 0.
[16:07] <kjcole> Following the LTS instructions for upgrading from Hardy to Lucid, I am left with sources.list containing lucid-proposed.  Should those be changed to lucid now that the upgrade has been done?
[16:07] <Psychodelius> erickj92: wooooo, so your boot loader is on the linux partition, not on the windows partition?
[16:07] <kjcole> And is there a good place to get a sense of the differences between lucid and lucid-proposed?
[16:07] <erickj92> Psychodelius: My boot loader is on a flash drive apparently. Right now I don't even have a boot loader. Thus the mess I am currently in
[16:07] <sid> thanks dajhorn. i'll do that.
[16:08] <mbeierl> dajhorn: brb... I have to shut them down
[16:08] <dajhorn> kjcole: lucid-proposed is a like a beta for the next point release.  Most people don't need or want it.
[16:08] <dajhorn> sid: Welcome.
[16:09] <BluesKaj> kjcole, run sudo sed -i 's/hardy/lucid/' /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:09] <Psychodelius> erickj92: mate, that is not quite my level of expertise. I think you better find someone who can do this kind of stuff
[16:09] <erickj92> Okay Psychodelius  thanks for your help :)
[16:09] <Psychodelius> erickj92: no help at all....:P
[16:10] <kjcole> BluesKaj: No more hardy's in there. As I said "Following the upgrade from Hardy to Lucid, I am left with lucid-proposed in the sources.list" meaning I am not left with any hardy references.
[16:10] <uwjweq> I have downloaded a programm named "blinker" as root it can blink all LEDs on my keyboard but as normal user only num-lock. Any idea which permissions I have to change to make it work?
[16:10] <Psychodelius> erickj92: have a look at this : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901837.aspx
[16:11] <Psychodelius> erickj92: that is the windows bootloader creation method, dirfectly from microsoft
[16:11] <erickj92> Thanks Psychodelius
[16:11] <dajhorn> erickj92: Do you know about the grub-install helper program?
[16:11] <erickj92> no
[16:12] <BluesKaj> kjcole, exactly what is the text , lucid-prposed or ?
[16:12] <florian1> hey there, i've recently upgraded to lucid. where have the simple, redmond, thin ice desktop themes gone? does any body know? thank you.
[16:12] <florian1> gnome desktop themes, i mean
[16:13] <kjcole> BluesKaj: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-proposed main restricted
[16:13] <Paddy_NI> florian1, In the repositories
[16:13] <kjcole> BluesKaj: and several like it.
[16:13] <dajhorn> erickj92: (I caught the tail end of your conversation.)   One solution for you could be:  1. Run `grub-install /dev/sda` to put the Linux boot loader on the hard disk.   2.  Follow the HOWTO to restore the Windows loader to the grub configuration.
[16:13] <erickj92> ok
[16:13] <Kyle__> I'm not sure if this is an ubuntu issue or not, but I get this occasionaly when booting some of my lab machines and it just sllloowly repeats, never gets past it.  Then I reset and 99% of the time its OK.
[16:13] <Kyle__> INFO: task lspci:400 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
[16:13] <dajhorn> erickj92: This assumes that you want to boot the computer with GRUB, and that you will keep both Windows and Linux on the disk.
[16:13] <Kyle__> "echo 0> /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
[16:13] <BluesKaj> kjcole, ok run this , sudo sed -i 's/lucid-proposed/lucid/' /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:13] <Kyle__> Any ideas?
[16:14] <dajhorn> Kyle__: It is a bug in Ubuntu 10.04.   If you see this on a production computer, then you need to reboot soon.
[16:14] <florian1> Paddy_NI: and can i still access or install them? they seem to be pretty fast and i've got an old machine.
[16:14] <jcrawford> Jordan_U, are you around? I need to know that command again to install all packages that are on my server to my laptop, you executed a !command in the channel that told me what to do but i was not logging :(
[16:14] <Kyle__> dajhorn: I haven't seen it whiel the system is running, only when it's trying to boot.  But there are a few clients that become unresponsive and need to be foricly rebooted, but I thought that was a seperate issue.
[16:15] <Kyle__> dajhorn: is there any fix for it?
[16:15] <sid> floriani: you can. check-out at gnome-art
[16:15] <florian1> Paddy_NI: or which of the recent ones are fast, do you happen to know?
[16:15] <Paddy_NI> florian1, yes but I cannot remember the package name for the life of me
[16:15] <BluesKaj> kjcole, then sudo apt-get update
[16:15] <Psychodelius> dajhorn: that reboot issue raised by Kyle__ do you know what bug number/
[16:15] <dajhorn> Kyle__: Nope, but it has improved with recent lucid kernels on my computers.  I usually get it after boot with processes like asterisk that use timers.
[16:16] <florian1> Paddy_NI: thank you for the explanation.
[16:16] <dajhorn> Psychodelius: No.  I don't know the actual cause.
[16:16] <mbeierl> dajhorn: still here, just trying to cleanly shut down the vms that I have running on that box.  It's seriously hurtin
[16:16] <Psychodelius> dajhorn: that is ok. thank you very much
[16:16] <dajhorn> Psychodelius: Welcome.
[16:16] <Kyle__> dajhorn: What's the most recent lucid kernel?  These are all running 2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP
[16:16] <incidence> Hi, how can I set my server's language to english but locale (keyboard etc to fi_FI.UTF-8) ? Thanks.
[16:17] <kjcole> BluesKaj: Thanks. (Already done. I knew how, I just didn't know if I *should*.  Opinion/advice appears to be recommending that I should.)
[16:17] <Paddy_NI> florian1, if you open up appearance then choose themes you should be able to click customise and find the appropriate controls and window borders there
[16:17] <Kyle__> mbeierl: What type of VMs are you running?
[16:17] <mbeierl> Kyle__: 10.04 latest kernel is  2.6.32-25
[16:17] <Kyle__> mbeierl: I'll have to update then, see if that helps.
[16:18] <mbeierl> Kyle__: VMWare workstation, two vms running RH5, 64 bit.  One gets 1.5g of ram, the other gets 256m of ram
[16:18] <Kyle__> mbeierl: Oh.  Ugh, that could be painfull.
[16:18] <Paddy_NI> florian1, yeah its there
[16:18] <mbeierl> Kyle__: it should not be with 4g of ram available to the host os.  Problem is that the host ubuntu is reporting 1g free
[16:19] <Kyle__> mbeierl: I have to admit, one of the reasons I moved to virtualbox was that it's easier to control from the CLI :)
[16:19] <dajhorn> mbeierl: If VMware put one of those VMs into swap, then you should go for a coffee break.
[16:19] <sid> mbeierl:  Is 2.6.32-25  on 10.04 LTS updates?
[16:19] <BluesKaj> kjcole, ok, how does your souces.list look now ?
[16:19] <Kyle__> mbeierl: hum.  With workstation, can you adjust how much memory it shares with other urnning vms and the system?
[16:20] <dajhorn> mbeierl: If you run the VMware gui as root, then it will expose a preference dialog to limit swap usage.  That might help later.
[16:20] <Kyle__> mbeierl: With the server/esx versions you can tell it to never share, share some, or share all.
[16:20] <kalle_> a
[16:20] <Kyle__> mbeierl: When you tell it to never share, your base OS doesn't get much lovin, but it generally never gets hammered to hell either.
[16:21] <mbeierl> sid: sorry I think 2.6.32-25 is on proposed.  I always enable that
[16:21] <florian1> Paddy_NI: yep, i found them. except for the thinice and redmond border. the controls are there, however.
[16:21] <Paddy_NI> florian1, try installing "metacity-themes"
[16:22] <Paddy_NI> florian1, and "gnome-themes-extra"
[16:22] <kjcole> BluesKaj: Fine.  No troubles. (I wasn't having trouble before. I noticed that the list of pending updates on two machines that I thought were identical, were not. One always offered more updates. That's when I found the difference in the sources.list.)
[16:22] <Psychodelius> alright.
[16:22] <Psychodelius> I am going to bed
[16:22] <Psychodelius> goodnight all!!!
[16:22] <mbeierl> Kyle__: I've already played with that, but I'm still struggling to understand how X can be pushed down to 34M of rss when there's 1g free still
[16:22] <Kyle__> mbeierl: Weird....
[16:22]  * Kyle__ frowns.
[16:23] <Kyle__> Ahh, so 2.6.32-25 is still proposed?  Not stable?
[16:23] <Kyle__> drat.
[16:23] <mbeierl> Kyle__: I don't know anymore where I got it from ... (-25) is it possible to tell after it's been installed?
[16:23]  * Kyle__ sighs as a win7 vm builds in the background.
[16:23] <Kyle__> I hate virtualization on old CPUs...
[16:24] <mbeierl> Kyle__: actually, I'm pretty sure now that it is proposed as the latest -TOI kernel is still -24
[16:24] <erickj92> Okay, so I just deleted my LInux partition and expanded my widnows partition onto it. When I try to boot I get the "error; no such device: ###. grub rescue>" What are my options from this point?
[16:24] <Kyle__> mbeierl: Probably, but I'm not as good under the covers of ubuntu... probably in /var/log/apt something, but I dunno.
[16:24]  * Kyle__ nods
[16:25] <tktiddle> How do i check is samba deamon is running?
[16:25] <Kyle__> tktiddle: ps ax|grep smb
[16:25] <Kyle__> tktiddle: Or service smb status
[16:25] <darren_lgl_d> how can i set apci=off, apm=poweroff?
[16:25] <Katsumi32> erickj92, if you have removed linux and there is still windows installed it mean u removed grub boot loader and windows mbr need be repaired if you want to boot windows
[16:25] <darren_lgl_d> my problem is my leptop cant shotdown,
[16:25] <Kyle__> tktiddle: It may be service samba status, but it's been awhile since I ran samba on ubuntu.
[16:26]  * Kyle__ shrugs.
[16:26] <ah544li> I am using wubi installer, shall I install it in C drive and ubuntu partition of how much GB?
[16:26] <erickj92> Katsumi32: how do I go about doing this?
[16:26] <darren_lgl_d> i am using ubuntu 10.04
[16:26] <darren_lgl_d> who can help me ?thx
[16:26]  * mbeierl can't believe how heavily into swap his vm server is... still waiting for vms to shut down
[16:26] <warflyr> is it possible to specify an alternative static ip address if no dhcp server exists?
[16:26] <kjcole> Thanks all. Ta-ta.
[16:26] <warflyr> using dhclient
[16:26] <tktiddle> Kyle__: I was thrown because service status samba dosnt work on ubuntu. Your process listing method works well though
[16:27] <Katsumi32> erickj92, i will tell you how to do it if you promise me to take me to restaurant tonight
[16:27] <erickj92> Lol
[16:27] <erickj92> I'm broke :)
[16:27] <tktiddle> Oh its service smbd status
[16:27] <sid> ah544li: 5gb is recommended. Note: Ubuntu in Windows is considerably slower.
[16:27] <florian1> Paddy_NI: thanks a lot. I'm content with the "mist" theme which is simple and fast.
[16:27] <Katsumi32> erickj92, but serious type in google.com " how to fix windows mbr " there is million tutorials it isnt difficult u need windows installation dvd
[16:28] <erickj92> ok, thank you
[16:28] <Kyle__> tktiddle: hum.  the service method generally works on unbuntu, but not always :).  Works in most other distros though btw.  the ps method _always_ works thankfully.
[16:28] <coz_> darren_lgl_d,  look at the last post on this page   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?s=7d732542461a4c5f63350cc2994d055a&t=1469501&page=3
[16:29] <killer999> can someone give me a link to a nice packaging guide
[16:29] <darren_lgl_d> coz,thx
[16:29] <coz_> darren_lgl_d,  see if that works for you :)
[16:29] <dajhorn> warflyr: No, not easily.  A better solution would be to use the special address that dhclient assigns if it cannot get a leased address.
[16:29] <coz_> killer999,   debian packageing guide?
[16:29] <ah544li> sid: thanks :) but shall i install it in C partition, drive size is 21 GB
[16:29] <florian1> Paddy_NI: now, after trying out the different engine features.
[16:29] <darren_lgl_d> coz,thx
[16:30] <warflyr> dajhorn ah i wasnt aware dhclient did that, i'll look into it, thanks
[16:30] <coz_> killer999,   you mean something like this ?   http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-debpkg.html
[16:30] <erickj92> Opinionative Question: How many years before PC's come shipping with Linux as the factory default? Like, we see computers at BestBuy laoded with Linux instead of Windows
[16:30] <Pici> killer999: Like http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide

[16:32] <florian1> Paddy_NI: again thanks, i'm leaving.
[16:32] <ouyes> hi all I have a driver problem and need your help , I have a thinkpad t400 and a pcmcia to rs232 card but I can not find its driver under linux
[16:32] <florian1> bye to everyone.
[16:32] <mbeierl> dajhorn, Kyle__: just trying the swapoff again now before the reboot to see all of what got pushed out into swap.  Never know...
[16:33] <MFen> what's the deal with the hotplug stuff? i have an external drive that sometimes gets disconnected (when I suspend my laptop) .. sometimes it gets automatically reconnected and sometimes it doesn't
[16:33] <dajhorn> warflyr: The special address range is 169.xxx.xxx.xxx
[16:33] <sid> If I install KDE apps in Gnome (or vice versa), will that make my computer slower? I love using Yakuake on gnome.
[16:33] <MFen> how do i automatically remount the partitions on that external drive, manually?
[16:33] <Paddy_NI> sid, nope
[16:34] <Paddy_NI> sid, loading kde apps in gnome requires QT libs to be loaded first but that's nothing
[16:34] <MFen> and i don't mean "run mount", i want to run something that just automounts everything, the same way it does when i boot up
[16:34] <MFen> there must be a shell script in here somewhere to do that
[16:34] <sid> Thanks Paddy_NI.
[16:34] <Paddy_NI> sid, btw I use guake on gnome
[16:34] <srini> how to configure network installation in ubuntu?
[16:34] <sid> I tried guake, but I love Yakuake.
[16:35] <Paddy_NI> sid, Yeah its had much more development
[16:35] <Paddy_NI> sid, wonderful app
[16:35] <warflyr> ouyes ive never had troubles with usb rs232 adapters o.0
[16:35] <ouyes> no it is not a usb but a express card
[16:35] <warflyr> i know, im just saying usb one will work ;)
[16:36] <jakegub> Can anyone here help solve the issue with the Ubuntu install not recognizing my current hard drive partitioning?
[16:36] <warflyr> you see the card under # lspci?
[16:36] <Paddy_NI> !details | jakegub
[16:37] <jakegub> I'm on a single hard drive with the normal Windows 7 partition of 100mb in front of the main partition and I have 50GB of unallocated space for my  ubuntu install.  None of the partiions are recognized during the install process
[16:37] <warflyr> jakegub is the disk recognized?
[16:37] <ouyes> warflyr,  I do not know whether it was recognized
[16:37] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, what shows up in the partition manager?
[16:37] <jakegub> yes, it just wants to write over the entire thing
[16:38] <Paddy_NI> yikes
[16:38] <jakegub> disk utility sees all of the partitions correctly but GParted fails to see any of them.  Just the disk itself
[16:38] <warflyr> ouyes look for something in lspci to see if anything looks like it may be that rs232 card
[16:38] <ah544li> will it be feasible to install ubuntu in C drive, parti
[16:38] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, did you let win7 do its disk check
[16:38] <ouyes> warflyr, I think it is 16:00.0 Serial controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd OXCB950 Cardbus 16950 UART
[16:38] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, hopefully you do not have any overlapping partitions
[16:39] <ouyes> warflyr, but how to know its port name?
[16:39] <Paddy_NI> that sure is what it sounds like
[16:39] <jakegub> Windows 7 boots up fine, and I've done a fixmbr and fixboot from the Win7 disk
[16:39] <sid> ah544li: Yes. But it'll be slower than a clean ubuntu install on an ext4 partition.
[16:39] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, tried doing a chkdsk
[16:39] <mgolisch> do you use bitlocker?
[16:40] <Paddy_NI> good question mgolisch
[16:40] <jakegub> i haven't done a chkdsk.  Does it need to be the deep scan or anything like that.  I certainly have not manually enabled bitlocker and I don't think it comes enabled by default
[16:40] <jakegub> but i'll look into that right now
[16:40] <ouyes> warflyr, how to use it ?
[16:40] <mbeierl> dajhorn: ok, swapoff completed and the two highest RSS processes are gnome-power-manager at 740m and gnome-panel at 370m.  this does not appear normal
[16:40] <warflyr> ouyes you may want to give "National Instruments PCMCIA-232, PCMCIA-232/2, PCMCIA-232/4" driver a try; its probably in the kernel
[16:40] <ah544li> thanks again sid:) U ROCK
[16:40] <srini> network installation in ubuntu? like kickstart
[16:40] <jakegub> Bit locker is off
[16:40] <sid> ah544li: Welcome!
[16:40] <dajhorn> mbeierl: Yes, that is too high.
[16:40] <NTAuthority> HAY GUYS UBUNTU PWNS
[16:41] <mgolisch> hm any other encryption stuff? truecrypt? or maybe your gparted lacks efi/gpt support for some reason does fdisk -l list anything in linux?
[16:41] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, How about booting of the livecd then launching gparted and laying out the partitions that way before you use the installer perhaps that is the problem
[16:41] <mbeierl> dajhorn: k, going to reboot it now.  Have no idea how to troubleshoot the power manager problem though.  too bad...
[16:41] <umc> guys, can you recommend me a player that is easy to use ? like winamp is on windows. I've tried xmms in the past, was satisfied, but I see they only complicated things in xmms2, and rhythm box... maybe I'm retarded, but I have an empty playlist and can't add a folder recursivelly for the life of me...
[16:41] <tktiddle> is it possible to connect to a samba share that connected on the LAN from a computer connected to the WAN?
[16:41] <slow-motion> bbl
[16:42] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, I have noticed problems with the installer partitioning win7 before
[16:42] <ouyes> how to see my network traffic ? it is acting very slow?
[16:42] <sid> umc: vlc, audacious.
[16:42] <sid> umc: exaile
[16:42] <jakegub> Paddy,  I have a working Win7 isntallation and gparted doesn't recognize it.  Are you suggesting I use gparted to make partions, then reinstall widows, then linux?
[16:42] <warflyr> tktiddle safest way is to create an ipsec tunnel; but you may be able to forward a series of ports using ssh
[16:42] <umc> thanks sid. I use vlc for movies, not a fan of listening music with it. I'll give the other two a try
[16:43] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, no, what I mean is just seeing if launching GParted on its own would allow you to create the linux partitions you need
[16:43] <mbeierl> dajhorn: !! Found it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/569273 and, yes, this pc is plugged into an APC UPS!  Woot!
[16:43] <mwilliams12201> HHi, I just bought a dell inspiron mini net book and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix last night;  my problem is I cannot get connect to the internet via wired or wireless
[16:43] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, then when installing just select them if they show
[16:43] <skelterjohn> hi all - i just installed 10.4 on a machine that had been running 7.4. I have my /home on another disk (that was untouched during the install) and I'm having trouble getting the new install to recognize the old users
[16:43] <jakegub> i've opened gparted from the liveCD and it doesn't recognize the partitions.  The disk utility sees them though
[16:43] <mbeierl> dajhorn: thanks for getting me started down the right path
[16:43] <dajhorn> mbeierl: Welcome.
[16:43] <mgolisch> jakegub: what disk utility?
[16:43] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, Have you tried a GParted livecd yet?
[16:44] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, its a small download and worth having in your toolkit
[16:44] <jakegub> mgolisch, ubuntu has something that may not be called disk utiliyt, but it is similar
[16:44] <jakegub> disk manager or soemthing like that
[16:44] <tktiddle> warflyr: thansk
[16:44] <mgolisch> hm sure yoi started gparted as root?
[16:44] <jakegub> oh I have not tried a Gparted liveCD,  I was just booting with my ubuntu livecd and using gparted
[16:44] <skelterjohn> does anyone know how to tell 10.4 to recognize old users in /home? I tried just adding a user with the same name as one, and it had trouble and aborted
[16:45] <jakegub> mgolisch, I have not started gparted as root.  Is that only done from the terminal?
[16:45] <jimcooncat> tktiddle: port-forwarding samba through ssh is difficult, however ssh does have a "proxy" type setup that's supposed to work. I'd rather just use scp (either with sshfs or WinSCP)
[16:45] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, In terminal type "gksu gparted"
[16:46] <dajhorn> skelterjohn: Rename the old home directory.  If you don't want to do this for some reason, then you should use the `adduser` program from the terminal.
[16:46] <warflyr> jakegub add the 'do not create home' flag
[16:46] <warflyr> jakegub or delete the existing home folder
[16:46] <mwilliams12201> Hi, I just bought a dell inspiron mini net book and installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix last night;  my problem is I cannot get connect to the Internet via wired or wireless
[16:46] <jakegub> I'm making a list of everything you all mentioned trying.   I appreciate the quick help and I'll be back when I've tried all of this
[16:46] <tktiddle> jimcooncat: Im trying to use a ubuntu bos as NAS and be able to access it from wireless
[16:46] <jakegub> Thank you all!
[16:47] <Paddy_NI> jakegub, good luck
[16:47] <warflyr> mwilliams12201 oh thats because ubuntu is based on linux o.0
[16:47] <mwilliams12201> ?
[16:47] <An_Ony_Moose> how can I use my wacom bamboo pen&touch on ubuntu 10.04? Linuxwacom complains about the X server version being too new, and having xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed doesn't make any difference.
[16:47] <aeon-ltd> mwilliams12201: check BIOS first, dell has bios switches for them
[16:47] <warflyr> lol
[16:47] <mwilliams12201> okay
[16:47] <Paddy_NI> mwilliams12201, Hmm.. what model laptop are you using?
[16:47] <mwilliams12201> that is helpful
[16:47] <jimcooncat> tktiddle: bos? maybe box. What are you using as a wireless client, Ubuntu also or Windows?
[16:47] <Paddy_NI> mwilliams12201, netbook rather
[16:48] <ouyes> waremperor, I write cat /dev/ttyS0 in the terminal but there is nothing
[16:48] <Paddy_NI> mwilliams12201, you say wired connection is also not working?
[16:48] <skelterjohn> dajhorn, adduser tells me the user already exists - but when i log in i get an authentication failure. has the password hash changed?
[16:48] <mwilliams12201> checking now-bouught it used
[16:48] <warflyr> ouyes youve verified that ttyS0 is your pcmcia serial device?
[16:48] <karrotx> doeos anyone here have a vanilla ec2 instance? i need something in small with a completely base install
[16:48] <bobstro> mwilliams12201:  i've got a mini 10. had to use the broadcom STA driver for wireless, but the wired ethernet came right up.
[16:49] <ouyes> warflyr, I do not know ,how to verify that?
[16:49] <Paddy_NI> mwilliams12201, wired should work are you sure its not a problem with the cable you are using
[16:49] <warflyr> ouyes #dmesg |grep ttyS0
[16:49] <dajhorn> skelterjohn: What does `id MyUser` at the terminal say?   You may need to unlock the old account and reset the password.
[16:49] <mmoebius> ouyes: Serial trouble ? Is your baudrate right ? How'd you set that ?
[16:49] <aeon-ltd> mwilliams12201: did you check the bios
[16:49] <tktiddle> jimcooncat: Ive got windows client, I was thinking If connecting the LAN and WAN is too hard I could use the ubuntu conputer to share its internet connection and act as an access point with its share available
[16:49] <skelterjohn> dajhorn: uid=1001(jasmuth) gid=1001(jasmuth) groups=1001(jasmuth),4(adm),20(dialout),21(fax),24(cdrom),25(floppy),26(tape),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),104(fuse)
[16:49] <Emanon> hokay so i need the vga= code for a 16:10 resolution (like vga=799 is 1900x1200)
[16:49] <mwilliams12201> I don't knolw wehat i'm using-10 inch screen
[16:50] <karrotx> what is the current ubuntu stable for server?
[16:50] <Emanon> i mean 1600x1200 was 799
[16:50] <mmoebius> ouyes: warflyr: dmesg |grep ttyS   <---- you will want to see all possible ttyS devices
[16:50] <ouyes> warflyr, mmoebius  that is the output [    0.560542] 0000:00:03.3: ttyS0 at I/O 0x1828 (irq = 17) is a 16550A
[16:50] <skelterjohn> dajhorn: I tried a "sudo passwd jasmuth", but that had a problem
[16:50] <dajhorn> skelterjohn: `passwd -u jasmuth` and `passwd jasmuth`
[16:50] <bobstro> mwilliams12201:  do you have a link light on the cabled ethernet port?
[16:50] <Emanon> i need one for a 16:10 like 1680x1050 or something
[16:50] <sid> karrotx: 10.04 LTS
[16:50] <Artemis3> mwilliams12201, it should say the model on a sticker in the bottom
[16:50] <abhijit> !10.04 | karrotx
[16:51] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, do "sudo apt-get install hwinfo"
[16:51] <skelterjohn> dajhorn: thanks for your help - I got the user working. now to do it for the 20 other users on this machine....
[16:51] <jimcooncat> tktiddle: you'd keep it simple to use openssh-server on your Ubuntu box and WinSCP on your windows client. Many many other alternatives exist though.
[16:51] <Emanon> thanks paddy
[16:51] <mwilliams12201> duh! inspiron mini 10
[16:51] <bobstro> jimcooncat:, tktiddle: sshfs perhaps?
[16:51] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, then "sudo hwinfo --framebuffer"
[16:51] <dajhorn> skelterjohn: Welcome.
[16:51] <mwilliams12201> I am in BIOS
[16:52] <bobstro> mwilliams12201:  same as mine then. wired should work fine.
[16:52] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, this will give you available modes
[16:52] <ouyes> mmoebius, I do not know whether my computer recognized my card
[16:52] <Yautja_Cetanu> Trying to learn how to use command line and ftp, I just followed the ftp server install help documentation and it works but when I log in with my admin user everything says "permission denied"
[16:52] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, no probs let me know how it goes
[16:52] <jimcooncat> tktiddle, bobstro; there's a windows client called Dokan sshfs that looks interesting, but I haven't tried it
[16:52] <aeon-ltd> mwilliams12201: check all the network options, or anything wireless switch related
[16:52] <ouyes> mmoebius, and which ttySx is in use
[16:52] <mmoebius> ouyes: Try the dmesg | grep ttyS thing i suggested. Let's first make sure there is no other serial port
[16:52] <mwilliams12201> I could not get it to work-it showed the connection, but booted me before I could use it
[16:52] <mmoebius> mmoebius: What do you have attached to the port ?
[16:53] <mmoebius> ouyes: What do you have attached to the port ?
[16:53] <ouyes> mmoebius, nothing
[16:53] <mwilliams12201> not sure what i am looking for
[16:53] <mmoebius> ouyes: then, what do you want to do with the port ?
[16:53] <aeon-ltd> mwilliams12201: anythuing network related
[16:54] <mwilliams12201> eveerything is enabled
[16:54] <aeon-ltd> mwilliams12201: ok, did you have to change aything?
[16:54] <mwilliams12201> not in BIOS
[16:54] <mwilliams12201> BTW, internet works fine in windows
[16:54] <ouyes> mmoebius, scan data from a device using rs-485 interface and modbus rtu protocol
[16:54] <mmoebius> maybe the card is ttyS1 --- a 16C590 would be more typical for a recent PCMCIA or PCI-Express serial card
[16:54] <sid> mwilliams: can you ping your router? "ping -c 2 <IP_ADDRESS>"
[16:55] <warflyr> mwilliams12201 get to a root shell; ifconfig -a && iwconfig; you see your interfaces?
[16:55] <Emanon> rebooting again hope the resolution is right this time
[16:55] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, cool
[16:56] <warflyr> ouyes curiosity, what devices you working with? data loggers?
[16:56] <warflyr> control system devices?
[16:56] <pat|nG> hi! is  it possible to backup my win7 from my vbox ubuntu 10.04? i mean....i'll use my ubuntu 10.04 lucid to back up my win7? is it possible?
[16:57] <tktiddle> jimcooncat: sshfs seems to working fine with a linux client, Its pretty slow, i guess this is to be expected.
[16:57] <bobstro> mwilliams12201:  sorry if you responded before, didn't see it if so - do you have a link light on the wired port?
[16:57] <qwert> pat|nG: Yes
[16:57] <pat|nG> qwert: dude how?
[16:57] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  clarify what you mean.. You are running Windows7, thats running virtualbox - and VBOX is running ubuntu?
[16:58] <Dr_Willis> tktiddle:  sshfs is a bit slower due to the overhead then samba, or ftp, or nfs.
[16:58] <jimcooncat> tktiddle: you probably are encrypting with WEP, and then encrypting again with ssh. If you can figure how to change your SSH cipher to blowfish you should increase your speed
[16:58] <qwert> !details| pat|nG
[16:58] <Paddy_NI> A virtual machine within a virtual machine
[16:58] <sid> I wonder why I used Windows all these years! Ubuntu rocks. :)
[16:58] <An_Ony_Moose> how can I use my wacom bamboo pen&touch on ubuntu 10.04? Linuxwacom complains about the X server version being too new, and having xserver-xorg-input-wacom installed doesn't make any difference.
[16:59] <jon_> hello
[16:59] <aeon-ltd> sid: yeah, if you've got a good cpu and gpu for flash to work fine and no proprietry devices like ipods, windows seems kinda crappy
[17:00] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, Joy?
[17:00] <Emanon> ok Paddy_NI it said my mode was deprecated and suggested a new one there is no way im going to remember during boot
[17:00] <Emanon> and didnt work
[17:00] <Paddy_NI> :-(
[17:00] <mwilliams12201> http://paste.ubuntu.com/494824/
[17:01] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, Have you tried throwing raw minced steak at it?
[17:01] <mbeierl> An_Ony_Moose: I hate to admit it, but my experience with wacom bamboo has been quite unsupported on Linux.  Last I tried (9.10) I had to download and compile software to make it work at all
[17:01] <Emanon> said that vga=0x0369 is deprecated and suggested a lower res (but proper aspect ratio i think) in a different format
[17:01] <Paddy_NI> gah
[17:01] <pat|nG> ubotto: i'm using ubuntu 10.04 lucid under vbox....and i want to make back up using my ubuntu distro...is it possible?
[17:01] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, what gfx card is it?
[17:02] <Emanon> no but i tried praying to cthulhu and sacrificing some small children
[17:02] <Paddy_NI> lol
[17:02] <Emanon> nvidia 8800
[17:02] <Emanon> gt i think
[17:02] <An_Ony_Moose> mbeierl, linuxwacom (I compiled it manually too) worked perfectly
[17:02] <Paddy_NI> okay give me a sec or two
[17:02] <Emanon> thank you
[17:02] <An_Ony_Moose> but now it's complaining about a newer X server version
[17:02] <Yautja_Cetanu> I've set up my ftp server on ubuntu 10.04 but can't actually edit anything with my main account. help?
[17:02] <Artemis3> Emanon, why do you need to set the framebuffer for anyway? i have that card and didnt touch it, and my screen is a 16:10 1680x1050
[17:02] <DagoRed> pat|nG: Just back up (when not having ubuntu running in vbox) the vdi file. Back that up and you're fine.
[17:02] <sid> Which is the best iTunes alternative on Ubuntu? I've tried gtkpod.
[17:03] <Emanon> Artemis3: the res once im booted is fine i just have the wrong res DURING boot
[17:03] <royalty> hey, I'm new to upstart. I've defined a custom job as found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/494825/ I'd like to specify the user to run the program (styx.python ...) - is this possible with the exec stanza?
[17:03] <Emanon> like on my encryption passphrase screen
[17:03] <mbeierl> An_Ony_Moose: my bamboo is in a drawer at home now, I apologize for getting hopes up, but I have not looked at it in a couple of months now...
[17:03] <Emanon> and such
[17:03] <An_Ony_Moose> mbeierl, no problem  :)
[17:03] <Paddy_NI> hey Emanon check this out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480905
[17:03] <Artemis3> Emanon, can you just set your monitor to stretch it? its not like it really matters...
[17:03] <mwilliams12201> I ran ifconfig command in root terminal, here is the pastebin URL http://paste.ubuntu.com/494824/
[17:04] <Emanon> no i can't and if i could it does kind of matter i can enter passphrase fine as it is now but it looks crappy
[17:04] <warflyr> mwilliams12201; try typing # dhclient eth0
[17:04] <jcrawford> is there any way to get the trackpad on a macbook pro to work with Ubuntu?  I mean two fingers to scroll down the pages etc.
[17:04] <warflyr> assuming yo uhave your cable connected
[17:04] <Artemis3> Emanon, ah, you mean at login? thats not framebuffer but GDM, check xorg.conf
[17:05] <mbeierl> Emanon: sorry - just jumping in late here: you've got an extremely low resolution during plymouth and that's when it's asking for the passphrase?
[17:05] <Emanon> yes mbeierl
[17:05] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, the Nomodeset option have you tried that?
[17:05] <Emanon> and no Artemis3 not at login at hard disk decrypt
[17:05] <mgolisch> jcrawford: does it work at all for you? its totaly unusable for me, it jumps around and right/left click doesnt realy work reliably, i resorted to just hook up my magic mouse instead of using the touchpad
[17:05] <aeon-ltd> jcrawford: depends what version on MBP but its possible https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook%20Aluminum#Trackpad
[17:05] <Emanon> ill give it a try Paddy_NI
[17:05] <aeon-ltd> jcrawford: thats for the aluminium version
[17:06] <mwilliams12201> I would have to go into other room to connect caable
[17:06] <mbeierl> Emanon: and that started when you went nvidia proprietary.  Same here and I read / saw / ? somewhere about the resolution during boot being way off after nvidia proprietary and for the life of me cannot find where
[17:06] <Artemis3> Emanon, ah get it... if all else fails, you can always disable fb removing the vga= line so you can at least see the prompt ^^'
[17:06] <mwilliams12201> afk
[17:06] <mbeierl> I just keep ignoring it as I don't boot often
[17:06] <Emanon> well ive found some fixes that involve editing grub configs but they dont work for me
[17:07] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, the Nomodeset one seems simple
[17:07] <Emanon> i can see the prompt just fine and i dont need to i can type my passphrase fine it just looks like it came out of my butt
[17:07] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, according to that forum post
[17:07] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, lol
[17:07] <Paddy_NI> that's a fancy gfx card
[17:08] <mbeierl> Emanon: it might be this puppy: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-get-plymouth-working-with-nvidia.html
[17:08] <Emanon> Paddy_NI: you know if i can do that in the grub configs instead of at boot?
[17:08] <Emanon> tried that one mbeierl
[17:08] <tktiddle> Hmmm Ive mounted a ftp folder on my machine but I cant paly any media off it, should I be able to play mp3s off a ftp mounted file system?
[17:08] <Emanon> and the comment it links to at the bottom too
[17:08] <mbeierl> Emanon: and this? http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[17:08] <juk> hi, I writing gmail check daemon it stores password in random openssl generated encrypted file, the problem is when it restarts we don't know in which algo pass file ecnrypted, so can't decrypt, any ideas?
[17:08] <Paddy_NI> hmm EmanonI dont really know but I would imagine that ultimately it would have to be done in a grub config file so that it will stick and you do not have to do it each time you boot
[17:09]  * Booby www.gaul.co ==>> free nulled script for you...
[17:09] <jcrawford> ah i found it in the pref pane under mouse
[17:09] <jcrawford> seems to work just fine for me
[17:09] <jcrawford> does not jump around for me but i have a MBP 3,1
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> Emanon:  check /etc/default/grub
[17:09] <Paddy_NI> cheers Dr_Willis
[17:10] <Emanon> anyone know if i can just turn off the prop driver during boot since the non prop worked just fine for this part i just need the prop for compiz and whatnot?
[17:10] <warflyr> Emanon, easiest way, assuming its a module, is to move the module out of the modules folder
[17:10] <aeon-ltd> Emanon: i gotta say, the open source drivers aren't much different if not crapper than the proprietry ones for both nvidia and ati
[17:11] <Emanon> this part http://paste.ubuntu.com/494832/ ?
[17:11] <jcrawford> oh yea thats another question since I have rEFIt doing my bootloading how can i get rid of the grub bootloader?

[17:11] <Emanon> the open drivers dont do 3d
[17:11] <jcrawford> i boot linux from rEFIt then it shows Grub and I have to hit enter again
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> Emanon:  on the bright side.. the nvidia driver seems to be playing nicer with the Plymouth stuff in 10.10
[17:11] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, sounds a little complex
[17:11] <mgolisch> jcrawford: you cant
[17:11] <mgolisch> jcrawford: dont think refit can boot linux
[17:11] <smerz> mofo spammers :(
[17:11] <jcrawford> is there a way I can just have it boot ubuntu, maybe changing the wait time, deleting other entries etfc.
[17:11] <jcrawford> mgolisch, i don't want to totally get rid of it, i just don't want to see it :)
[17:11] <jcrawford> i know there are ways to *hide* it just don't remember what they were
[17:12] <lungan> Which is the best dc++ client for linux?
[17:12] <mgolisch> jcrawford: change the timeout? so it automaticaly boots
[17:12]  * Booby www.gaul.co ==>> free computer community...
[17:12] <Emanon> !best > lungan
[17:12] <Artemis3> Emanon, you mean edited /etc/default/grub then grub-update and didn't work?
[17:12] <Emanon> it just didnt change anything
[17:12] <jcrawford> mgolisch, yes exactly how do i do that?
[17:12] <warflyr> jcrawford yeah theres a way to prevent modules from autoloading; i dont remember, /etc/modprobe or something
[17:12] <Emanon> it still works precicely how crappy it worked before
[17:12] <tishammer> when i boot my latest ubuntu, i don't see that grub menu. i'd like to boot with the newly installed linux-rt
[17:12] <Emanon> i didnt lose any functionality (other than what i lost by installing the prop driver)
[17:12] <tishammer> how's that?
[17:13] <juk> hi, I'm writing gmail check daemon it stores password in random openssl generated encrypted file, the problem is when it restarts we don't know in which algo pass file was ecnrypted, so can't decrypt, any ideas?
[17:13] <mgolisch> jcrawford: what ubuntu do you use?
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> Emanon:  you did run 'sudo update-grub' after altering the file?  (i forget to do that sometimes)
[17:13] <jcrawford> 10.04
[17:13] <Emanon> yes Dr_Willis
[17:13] <jcrawford> i just checked for /boot/grub/menu.lst but that file does not exist
[17:14] <Paddy_NI> jcrawford, thats old grub
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  check the grub2 docs. :) its  /boot/grub/grub.cfg now. and you dont edit that file by hand.
[17:14] <jcrawford> ah ok thanks Dr_Willis
[17:14] <Booby> www.gaul.co  pls join to my forum
[17:14] <Artemis3> hey jcrawford just edit /etc/default/grub then sudo grub-update
[17:14] <pfifo> A time traveler just appeared in my front yard, he had a copy of 19.04 LiveCD on him, anyone want?
[17:15] <mgolisch> change GRUB_TIMEOUT
[17:15] <mgolisch> think the default is 10
[17:15] <bobstro> pfifo:  is everything still brown?
[17:15] <Emanon> Here is my current /etc/default/grub http://paste.ubuntu.com/494835/
[17:15] <Emanon> And here is my /etc/grub.d/00_header http://paste.ubuntu.com/494837/
[17:15] <Artemis3> its 30 ^^'
[17:16] <Emanon> in case anyone wants to review precicely what is going on in there
[17:16] <Artemis3> but it will usually hide if there are no other OSes
[17:16] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, I still say do the Nomodeset option
[17:16] <HACKhalo2> ok, quick question
[17:16] <pfifo> bobstro, its built in AI read my mind and made everything my favorite color
[17:16] <HACKhalo2> where is xorg.conf located at?
[17:16] <karlo> how to put LMMS full screen
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> Emanon:  im not even sure what yout original problem is/was :)
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> HACKhalo2:  IF it exists - /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[17:17] <HACKhalo2> thank you
[17:17] <Paddy_NI> HACKhalo2, xorg.conf is depreciated it is most likely not on your system
[17:17] <Emanon> encryption passphrase entry screen at boot is wrong resolution after installing nvidia proprietary driver Dr_Willis
[17:17] <Verminator> what is all this "NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ! ALL HAIL THE AUTISTIC LORD OF FREENODE!!" about?
[17:17] <Emanon> trolls Verminator
[17:17] <HACKhalo2> I just found my old ubuntu 9.10 install and the ATi drivers cause my system to hang
[17:17] <bobstro> pfifo:  that wouldn't be ubuntu then. you should not be able to change any colors or appearance features.
[17:17] <Artemis3> Emanon, how about commenting out thet VGA option which doesnt work, and maybe try 1024x768 at that GFXMODE line, just too see if it improve things?
[17:18] <Emanon> in grub or 00_header?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> Emanon:  thats a plymouth issue i belive.    Ive seen dozens of possible fix's for it.. but never really looked into them.
[17:18] <Verminator> Emanon, thx, this msg appears rather frequently, whats the deal, do these folks not get banned or do they just keep getting new accounts or what?
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> Emanon:  you proberly dont need to edit the 00_header file at all. just set the proepr stuff in /etc/default/grub
[17:19] <Emanon> no idea Verminator
[17:19] <tishammer> !grub
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[17:19] <Verminator> Emanon, thx again
[17:19] <tishammer> !grub2
[17:19] <Emanon> i have edited the 00_header hehe so i might as well edit it back if it does nothing
[17:19] <Artemis3> Emanon, /etc/default/grub then sudo grub-update as normal, the other one is overwritten i believe
[17:19] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, Have you seen this http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Fix-the-Big-and-Ugly-Plymouth-Logo-in-Ubuntu-10-04-140810.shtml
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> My list of cool GRUB2 related links --> http://www.delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2
[17:21] <An_Ony_Moose> !wacom
[17:22] <Emanon> trying that last one now Paddy_NI
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> Emanon:  on a good note. ive not seen near the issues with nvidia and plymouth in 10.10 :)
[17:22] <jcrawford> seems configuring grub will take quite a bit of time, i will work on this later :)
[17:23] <jcrawford> for now I will live with the grub menu and hitting enter twice lol
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  set the timeout to be like 2 sec.
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> :) and go get a soda
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  i got a weird old machine.. it takes it like 120 sec to get to the GRUB menu from powerup.. not sure what the deal is.. could be the 8 hard drives...
[17:24] <SoulShadow> lol Dr_Willisq
[17:24] <SoulShadow> -q
[17:24] <CT1> Hi.  How can I copy packages from one pc to another? I have my main pc the way I like it and want to copy the packages installed (including updates) to a dvd or usb hard disk so I can install them on my other pc (miles away, with no internet connection)
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> tahts the same box that Grub menu dosent work  unless i use a ps2 keyboard.
[17:24] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, well I guess these things take time to settle in.. just look at how pulseaudio was :-/
[17:25] <th0r> CT1: aptoncd
[17:25] <jcrawford> i would rather hide it but hiding it wont work since the probe will find other OS's i will have to modify files in order to hide it like i want: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1287602
[17:25] <Fraxtil> How can I change ubuntu server's terminal resolution? It's 80x24 chars now, but that looks terrible on a 1024x768 monitor
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> CT1:  not all packages may still be in the 'cache' on the first pc.  so aptoncd may not get 'everything'
[17:25] <trojan_spike> /join #ubuntu+1
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  you can disable the os_probe script and just make your own custome entries in the 40_custome
[17:26] <mbeierl> Paddy_NI: thanks - That's the howto I recall reading and have been trying to find again!
[17:26] <warflyr> Fraxtil its a boot command you can specify in grub/lilo
[17:26] <CT1> th0r: Thankyou.  I'll get googling.  Although I think I cleared the apt cache a week ago... :(
[17:26] <Paddy_NI> mbeierl, cool
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> jcrawford:  i let it probe once.. then copied the proper lines from the grub.cfg into the 40_custome and altered them how i wanted. then disabled the osprober script. :)
[17:26] <th0r> CT1: and now you know why that may have not been the best idea <smile>
[17:26] <warflyr> Fraxtil vga=0x73 or something, i dont remember, its been a long time
[17:26] <Emanon> k trying again
[17:26] <SoulShadow> i still can't even get 10.10 to boot in a VM
[17:26] <SoulShadow> lol
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> I think the vga= option is no longer valid with grub2
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> Fraxtil:  theres also the 'fbset' command that can change the framebuffer consoles settings on the fly.
[17:27] <Calinou> uhuh, epic fail of freenode bot
[17:27] <CT1> th0r: Lesson learned.  Thanks for the help.  I'll read up and find some way to do it now you pointed me in the right direction.
[17:27] <jcrawford> Dr_Willis, thanks for the information
[17:28] <Fraxtil> Dr_Willis: i'll look into that, thanks
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> this url mentions changing the modes --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[17:29] <Paddy_NI> CT1, I find Keryx to be better than aptoncd personally http://keryxproject.org/
[17:29] <Yautja_Cetanu> How can I make all the files on my ubuntu server changeable through ftp?
[17:29] <Fraxtil> Dr_Willis: it only says /dev/fb0 doesn't exist. maybe fb0 is x-related? i'm not running x, just ttys
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> personally i perfer the normal 'old fashoned' text mode.  The framebuffer is a bit laggy.
[17:30] <warflyr> Fraxtil, what version of ubuntu?
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> Fraxtil:  on a server install it could be you need to load the framebuffer modules for your card
[17:30] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis,  wish there was a simple way of enabling text mode
[17:30] <CT1> Paddy_NI:  Thanks.  I'll read up on that.
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  try the 'text' option? :)
[17:30] <Yautja_Cetanu> Or what is the standard way of getting files from my windows machine onto an ubuntu server box? is samba better?
[17:30] <tishammer> i don't get the boot menu at boot. does anybody have any idea why?
[17:30] <Fraxtil> warflyr: 10.04 iirc
[17:30] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, yeah but it does not load gdm
[17:30] <warflyr> 8.1 and below; nano /boot/grub/grub.conf (or menu.lst); and add vga=791
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  in /etc/rc.local --> 'service gdm start'
[17:31] <Paddy_NI> :)
[17:31]  * Paddy_NI hugs Dr_Willis
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  or perhaps rename the gdm.conf to be superspiffyhack.conf
[17:31] <warflyr> Fraxtil nano /etc/default/grub
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> Paddy_NI:  personally  i just 'startx' when i want tog et into X.
[17:31] <binary> hey guys u talking about backtrack?
[17:31] <warflyr> GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768
[17:31] <warflyr> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=quiet splash"
[17:31] <warflyr> GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
[17:31] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, Yeah I suppose why not
[17:31] <FloodBot3> warflyr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:32] <binary> what is the official backtrack irc chat i can go to?
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> !backtrack | binary
[17:32] <Fraxtil> warflyr: will try that, thank you very much.
[17:32] <warflyr> Fraxtil afterwards; $ sudo update-grub
[17:33] <lpjhjdh> so I've setup a static eth0 with the networkmanager applet and it just repeatedly kills it
[17:33] <Emanon> Paddy_NI: that last one worked
[17:33] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, excellent
[17:33] <rickabillie> can anyone point me to help with getting my wired nic working (broadcom bcm4401-bo rev 02)
[17:33] <Paddy_NI> :D
[17:34] <Emanon> and let it be known i was stupidly updating grub when i needed to be updating grub 2 before
[17:34] <Paddy_NI> lol
[17:34] <Paddy_NI> so Dr_Willis was right
[17:34] <Paddy_NI> :P
[17:34] <Emanon> but now by encryption passphrase is pretty again
[17:34] <skrite> so does the new 64bit flash plugin mean that Hulu will work again?
[17:34] <Emanon> or the entry screen for it is
[17:34] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, lovely gfx card all the same
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> Emanon:  updating grub?  on a clean isntall at least.. 'sudo update-grub' is the same as 'sudo update-grub2'
[17:35] <Emanon> the passphrase is still intentionally ugly
[17:35] <Yautja_Cetanu> Am I asking for help in the wrong place here regarding ftp?
[17:35] <Emanon> and changed frequently
[17:35] <Paddy_NI> Emanon, yeah but to be expected at that level
[17:35] <Out`Of`Control> Hi, There are lots of on screen keyboards programs. Problem is when i switch to other language buttons stay in english. Is there a way to solv it?
[17:35] <Emanon> btw everyone the pwgen package rocks ALOT
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> Yautja_Cetanu:  the docs for the ftp server you are using is always place 1 to go. :) but you can ask in here. but i bet most people will suggest you use SSH instead of FTP in this day and age.
[17:36] <ah544li> I have a ubuntu 10.04 image file, can my wubi installer install that one instead of downloading another iso image during installation?
[17:37] <DFM> Hello. Can someone tell me how to reconfigure the network to pull DHCP from the cli. I'm using server 10.04 and during the install I didn't have a network connection. Now I do but have to use DHCP.
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> DFM:  use the 'dhclient' command  - i recall.
[17:37] <Yautja_Cetanu> Dr_Willis: Thanks for responding! I was getting lonely. I've followed all the docs on ftp and got it installed but now I can only view files not edit or create new. I'm assuming its a simple permissions/security thing but the docs say nothing
[17:38] <ah544li> I have a ubuntu 10.04 image file, can my wubi installer install that one instead of downloading another iso image during installation?
[17:38] <atoi> If I want to install a .deb package, what's the best way to do that? Is there a way to do it with aptitude so everything is consistent? Should I just use apt?
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> Yautja_Cetanu:  they proberly assume you know the basics of linux permissins. :)
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> !permissions
[17:38] <warflyr> DFM edit /etc/network/interfaces; add: auto eth0\n iface eth0 inet dhcp
[17:38] <Yautja_Cetanu> Dr_Willis: will read it and come back
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> atoi:  sudo dpkg -i foo.deb, or 'sudo gdebi foo.deb'  is what i normally do.
[17:38] <warflyr> DFM them /etc/init.d/networking restart
[17:38] <atoi> k
[17:38] <Ben^> Hey
[17:38] <atoi> the RabbitMQ server package on Lucid is woefully out of date.
[17:39] <atoi> so I have to manually install
[17:39] <Ben^> Who here is familiar with the swappiness kernel tuning parameter ?
[17:39] <Emanon> incidentally i like swap files over partitions too, its nice to be able to manage that kind of thing on the fly
[17:41] <DFM> warflyr: I tried editing the interfaces as suggested but it didn't work and I did restart the interface after making the change.
[17:41] <Emanon> Ben^: http://n00bsonubuntu.com/ubuntu/swappiness ?
[17:41] <avinashhm> hi, on changing /etc/sudoers using sudo visudo , is there anyway i can get the changes working without rebooting ..??
[17:41] <avinashhm> any export command ??
[17:41] <DFM> I will try the dhclient as suggested and get back to you. Thanks.
[17:41] <subspider> i don't have wpa enterprise option when creatting a wireless conection  can someone help ??
[17:43] <Paddy_NI> Dr_Willis, Emanon chat to you later got a bus to catch.. involuntary cricket pub quiz at 19:00.. I detest cricket :-(
[17:43] <Paddy_NI> bye
[17:43] <Emanon> bye bud good luck
[17:43] <Emanon> heading out myself bye all
[17:44] <Ben^> Well, anyway - to those who are aware of swappiness you may be able to point me in the right direction:
[17:44] <Ben^> I've been playing with my swappiness kernel param. I find it good for the most part to have it quite high - even at 100. However, one or two processes I would like to swap less and keep more in resident memory.
[17:45] <Ben^> Is there any way to do that? Sort of like a renice for swappiness by process ?
[17:45] <azi`> i have pluged my monitor into my laptop to use them both now the taskbar/applications are shown only on the primary laptop window.. is there any way to make the "primary" window the one on the external monitor?
[17:45] <Artemis3> Ben^, can't say much, since i love not using swap at all ^^
[17:46] <fresonee> my tomcat can't startup,who know how to resolve it ? thanks
[17:46] <Soshi_Toru> Is this the correct place for ubuntu-install issues/qusetions?
[17:46] <th0r> azi`: that is usually a function key on the laptop
[17:46] <Ben^> Artemis3,  how much ram you got ?
[17:46] <Artemis3> Soshi_Toru, yes ask away
[17:46] <azi`> th0r: right thank you
[17:46] <Artemis3> Ben^, 2g on the netbook, 4g on the desktop
[17:47] <Ben^> Lol, I'd never run with no swap on that little mem
[17:47] <pat|nG> hi! if i try to use the sudo apt-get upgrade does it mean that my 10.04 lucid will be change completely? into something 10.04.1?
[17:47] <Ben^> Memory is mean't to be free !
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  the latest release is 10.04.1 yes.
[17:48] <pat|nG> is it stable now?
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  see what 'lsb_release -a' says
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  its proberly waht you are using anyway.. and never noticed it
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  10.10 is the NEXT release due out in 25 days. its in  beta testing
[17:48] <pat|nG> wow
[17:48] <pat|nG> i got it
[17:49] <pat|nG> i'm having more problems on this distro
[17:49] <pat|nG> wew
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> I seem to have less and less problems with every release.
[17:49] <pat|nG> mostly from this i just tried to install vlc...but i failed i can't get the updates
[17:49] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  i just cheat and use 'ubuntu-tweak' and let it add the extra ppa repos i need for latest vlc and so forth.
[17:50] <Dr_Willis> :)
[17:50]  * Dr_Willis is lazy
[17:50] <pat|nG> hahaha
[17:50] <pat|nG> i got the ubuntu-tweaks too
[17:50] <pat|nG> but i just want to learn installin usin terminals
[17:50] <pat|nG> hehehe
[17:50] <pat|nG> next time
[17:50] <Dr_Willis> !info vlc
[17:51] <Dr_Willis> vlc is in the universe repo. shouldebnt be too hard to install
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. I dont even see vlc in the ubuntu-tweak ppa listing any more.. there was a vlc ppa that shut down a few weeks back
[17:52] <Katsumi32> or vlc 1.1.4 from ppa
[17:52] <pat|nG> do i have to check all of this?
[17:52] <Soshi_Toru> Computer is a Toshiba, slightly dated, currently running vista x32. I have attempted to install ubuntu 10.4 from both CD (tested used self-test on CD) and flash-drive install. in both cases, it goes to the ubuntu working red dots screens, then eventually to a black screen /w white _ cursor and sits forever. I do know that it will run ubuntu since the Wub installed copy works fine.
[17:52] <Soshi_Toru> any thoughts/
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  check 'all of what' ?
[17:52] <pat|nG> the boxes from synaptic package manager?
[17:53] <zeleftikam> Need some help networking. Ubuntu 10.04 Server on a machine with a Realtek RTL8111DL Gigabit ethernet controller. The machine links up at 100 and not 1000. Help?
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  all what box's ?
[17:53] <aeon-ltd> Soshi_Toru: 32bit ubuntu?
[17:53] <Soshi_Toru> Aeon-ltd, yes
[17:53] <Katsumi32> Soshi_Toru, this one is the best to create ubuntu live usb http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/using-lili.html
[17:54] <pat|nG> now it's ok
[17:54] <pat|nG> i installed it
[17:54] <Soshi_Toru> Katsumi32, I tried to say that, I did do that
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> I had issues with 'lili' :)
[17:54] <pat|nG> but getting the ppa errors
[17:54] <Soshi_Toru> Katsumi32: no change in symptoms
[17:54] <Katsumi32> Soshi_Toru, did you use lili ?
[17:54] <pat|nG> does it still work even gettin the ppa errors?
[17:54] <aeon-ltd> Soshi_Toru: finished full install including boot loader?
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  it could be that ppa was the one that closed down. or some other ppa thats shut down.
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  did it install? if so it worked..
[17:54] <pat|nG> yup
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  run 'vlc' and see if it works
[17:55] <pat|nG> done installing but gettin lots of failed due to the ppa down as u've said
[17:55] <pat|nG> hehe
[17:55] <pat|nG> i'll try
[17:55] <pipegeek> sriracha is delicious
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  ppa's are for specific apps  normally
[17:56] <Soshi_Toru> aeon-ltd:I do not know, it went into what I would describe as a
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  its best to keep the # of ppa's used to a minimum. (and yes i must have 20+ added on my one machine)
[17:56] <Soshi_Toru> aeon-ltd:I do not know, it went into what I would describe as a working screen, going into the install, I don't believe it finishes
[17:57] <aeon-ltd> Soshi_Toru: hmm, how space dd you give ubuntu for its / partition?
[17:57] <pat|nG> i just installed it but i can't find the application of vlc
[17:57] <pat|nG> it's not there
[17:57] <pat|nG> wew
[17:57] <pat|nG> creepy
[17:57] <FloodBot3> pat|nG: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:57] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  run it from a terminal...
[17:57] <frogmanbatfish> I have run lvextend to try to resize a partition. According to lvdisplay this seems to have worked, but du shows the old size still, even after a reboot. How can I fix that?
[17:57] <pipegeek> frogmanbatfish: you also need to grow the filesystem
[17:58] <frogmanbatfish> pipegeek: aha. how's that done?
[17:58] <pipegeek> you don't have to unmount it to do this if its' ext3
[17:58] <frogmanbatfish> pipegeek: it's ext4
[17:58] <pipegeek> just do: resize2fs /dev/mapper/blortvg-bleeplv
[17:58] <Soshi_Toru> aeon-ltd: the wubi partition is 30gb, but for the CD/USB installs I'm looking for a full just-unbutu computer,
[17:58] <pipegeek> frogmanbatfish: ext4 should work too.  See my comment above; forgot to direct it to you.
[17:58] <Gintulis> o taip
[17:59] <frogmanbatfish> pipegeek: thanks! reading the man page now...
[17:59] <pipegeek> cool
[17:59] <pat|nG> oh forget it bro...i'm too lazy today for just vlc
[17:59] <pat|nG> grrr
[18:00] <dbu_> Hi, I am trying to install the pae kernel to move my 64 bit server to 32 bit, but it is not available from apt-get? Does anyone know how to do this without reinstalling a 32bit version of ubuntu?
[18:00] <pipegeek> frogmanbatfish: if you run it without options, it'll automatically try to grow it to the size of the underlying device, which is what you want
[18:00] <vagvaf> hello people, how can i watch the text info of the booting process instead of the ubuntu screen?
[18:00] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  too lazy to just type 'vlc' in a terminal ?  :)
[18:00] <pipegeek> vagvaf: do Ctrl-Alt-F1 during boot
[18:01] <pipegeek> I b'lieve
[18:01] <Katsumi32> pat|nG,  if you want latest vlc with all libraries etc add this to software source ppa:lucid-bleed/lucidbleed-exp if you didnt try it yet
[18:01] <vagvaf> pipegeek: can i 'pause' the boot with pause/break key as well ?
[18:01] <pipegeek> or you can boot pass the option "nosplash" to the kernel at boot
[18:01] <zoopp> hey..can someone tell me if it's safe to remove network manager when using 'pppoeconf' to connect to internet?
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> there can be some nasty issues pop up with some PPA's  :) so its best to be carefull.
[18:01] <xer00> I opened a vimeo video i FF, and it froze. I shut down FF, but the sound is still playing! Wth ... what do I do now?
[18:01] <pipegeek> vagvaf: and I believe so, but I'm not sure how upstart reacts to that
[18:02] <pipegeek> haven't tried
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> zoopp:  it would be safest to leave it alone.
[18:02] <aeon-ltd> Soshi_Toru: md5 sum check the isos, use a fresh disk, or format the usb stick before writing
[18:02] <vagvaf> pipegeek:  i'll tell you when i log in again :P
[18:02] <vagvaf> thanks
[18:02] <pipegeek> heh
[18:02] <pipegeek> np
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[18:02] <zoopp> dr_willis: the thing is ..the system i'm running Ubuntu from is very old..i've read somewhere if i uninstall it i might get a small boost
[18:02] <frogmanbatfish> pipegeek: cool, worked like a dream :-)
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> zoopp:  i doubt if you will.
[18:03] <frogmanbatfish> pipegeek: thanks again
[18:03] <tacomaster> does anyone know what package the command net-setup comes from?
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> zoopp:  you would get more of a boost by using a minimal windoww manager, and a smaller file manager
[18:03] <zoopp> dr_willis: worst thing that can happen is to lose connection to internet right?
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> zoopp:  and how to you reinstall the program if you need to?
[18:04] <zoopp> dr_willis: i could download the packages and keep the safe somewhere..right?
[18:04] <zoopp> dr_willis: safe*
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> zoopp:  and you wouldent be sure you had them all downloaded untill you needed them...
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> You could paint yourself into a corner real fast. :)
[18:04] <Soshi_Toru> aeon-ltd; I did reburn and rewrite both the usb and the CD, I don't want to reformat the hdd yet prior to install since I don't have a copy of vista to install on it again if it goes wrong
[18:05] <hayward2010> Hi.  Can anyone explain how to install one of the login screens available from art.ubuntu.org , using Ubuntu 10.4 ?
[18:05] <zoopp> dr_willis: hmm maybe..isn't there a way to check dependencies ?
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> hayward2010:  most of them are for the old GDM. be sure to see which ones specificy gdm2. and as far as i know theres Not a lot of 'themes' out for gdm2 yet
[18:06] <zoopp> dr_willis: i think i've read something about that somewhere
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> zoopp:  perhaps. Ive never had to worry about it. I did have lubuntu remove network-manager once and install wicd.. it  broke networking.. and was a pain to get network-manager back on
[18:06] <hayward2010> ah right, i understand that... so where can i see the gdm2 ones ?
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> hayward2010:  ive only seen like 4 of them. and they were some how used by a program i tried called 'epidermis' (like the medical word for skin)
[18:07] <hayward2010> thanks Dr_Willis :)
[18:07] <zoopp> dr_willis: hmm..then i guess i'll leave it as it is for now and see what else i can optimize..to be honest i wouldn't really want to drop gnome
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> zoopp:  and whats the system specs?
[18:07] <pat|nG> Dr_Willis: omg....i just clean the kernels....is it ok? lmao! using the tweak?
[18:08] <zeleftikam> Need some help networking. Ubuntu 10.04 Server on a machine with a Realtek RTL8111DL Gigabit ethernet controller. The machine links up at 100 and not 1000. Ethtool reports that it is linked at 1000, however my router says it is linked at 100 and file transfers are slow. Help?
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  you tell me.. is it ok?  it sould have left the one you are using.
[18:08] <aeon-ltd> Soshi_Toru: ok ,sorry but i'm out of ideas :(
[18:08] <Soshi_Toru> Aeon-ltd; I'm not trying to be difficult, its just that I made sure to verify that the methods of install were unlikely to be the issue etc. I'm also very put off by the fact that the WUBI install works, but the others don't
[18:08] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  i find the ubuntu-tweak cleaner feature safer the the 'ubuntu janitor' program :)
[18:09] <zoopp> dr_willis: some old single core athlon CPU that works at 2GHz, 512 mb DDR2 (667MHz i think), ATI Radeon 9250 PRO
[18:09] <HEYooo> hi all. i have a netbook running ubuntu, and i need to put windows xp on it. is there a way to install xp onto a flash drive in ubuntu from an iso?
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> zoopp:  some day you may want to text out Lubuntu if you want to maxamize speeds
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> HEYooo:  i dont think XP can normally work from a flash drive..
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> that would need a BIG flash drive also i think. :)
[18:10] <zeleftikam> HEYooo» i think your best bet is to find a USB cd-rom drive
[18:11] <zoopp> dr_willis: atm i'm using the default video driver supplied with ubuntu..you think i might get better rendering speed if i switch to the proprietary one?
[18:11] <Katsumi32> Dr_Willis, it can u need just burn it to usb from installation cd
[18:11] <mgolisch> why not? aslong as it has a ide/scsi/sata interface there should be no problem
[18:11] <zoopp> dr_willis: checking now what Lubuntu is..
[18:11] <mgolisch> it doenst want to install on removeable media though
[18:11] <^Cheeky> hi, what is the term used , so i can install ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook using my LAN as my usb drive is not recodnised by the machine
[18:11] <HEYooo> ive gotten it to install on flash drive, but using a program only on windows to format the flash drive to bootable
[18:11] <jakegub> mgolisch, I was on earlier talking about ubuntu not recognizing my windows installation
[18:11] <Dr_Willis> Katsumi32:  huh? Burn an XP ISO file to a USB flash drive    - Im not sure that works.. ive seen too many other hacks/guides/tools for windopws that  say they do the task for it to be that simple.
[18:12] <pat|nG> Dr_Willis: is it safe to cleanup purge ppas? i got this warning message stating that im gonna be downgraded all my ppas something like that....do i have to click yes?
[18:12] <HEYooo> just wondering if theres anything like usb-creator on ubuntu that can do it
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  no idea. Ive never used the feature
[18:12] <mgolisch> jakegub: any progress?
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> pat|nG:  you can always reinstall the stuff
[18:12] <Katsumi32> Dr_Willis, i have done with win7
[18:12] <jakegub> chkdsk found no errors
[18:12] <Soshi_Toru> @ pipegeek: ctrl/alt/f1 during boot will let you see the text, will that also allow me to see the text for the install to see what is going wrong?
[18:12] <jakegub> gksu gparted found no partition
[18:12] <mgolisch> jakegub: i would guess parted/the installer reads that fake mbr table on gpt partitions for some reason and thaty why it doenst show anything
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> Katsumi32:  but win7 is not XP. :)   then again this is all not really ubuntu related.. so best to ask in #windows i guess
[18:12] <kulhas> hello, I want to run a program with a .so but I dont want to install the .so in my system
[18:12] <mgolisch> gpt disks
[18:13] <mgolisch> jakegub: is this a normal pc? or a mac?
[18:13] <jakegub> mgolisch yeah it said something about that
[18:13] <pipegeek> Soshi_Toru: I think so.  IIRC, the installer itself is on console 5 (ctrl-alt-f5), and various useful things are on 1-4
[18:13] <pipegeek> but I may be misremembering
[18:13] <jakegub> mgolish it is an acer aspire 1410 notebook/netbook
[18:13] <pipegeek> one of them is a terminal, one of them is syslog, etc
[18:14] <pipegeek> someone more familiar with the installer would know better
[18:14] <zoopp> dr_willis: LXDE..hmm i see..can i safely install it over gnome to give it a try?
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> zoopp:  you can .. but it may try to install wicd and remove network-manager.. i had that issue a few months back.
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> !info lubuntu-desktop
[18:14] <Katsumi32> Dr_Willis, it doesnt matter win 7 vista or xp every OS you can burn to flash drive
[18:14] <jakegub> mgolisch  gparted gave this.....  /dev/sda contains GPT signatures, indicating that it has a GPT table.  However, it does not have a valid fake msdos partition table, as it should.
[18:14] <Soshi_Toru> Pipegeek: Thanks, I'll return hopefully with actual system text to facilite some help, but one last thing, is there an easier way to link people's names than retyping them each response?
[18:15] <zoopp> dr_willis: i'll do some research on it..thanks for pointing that out :)
[18:15] <pipegeek> Soshi_Toru: Some clients support tab-completion.  I typed the first three letters of your name and hit "tab" to get the rest.
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> Katsumi32:  i think theres somthing fundamentally wrong with that statement..  but ive not needed to try it.. and i do recall lots of hacks/tools/ to do what you are clamign is a simple task.. but its OT for here..
[18:15] <Soshi_Toru> pipegeek: Thanks
[18:16] <mgolisch> jakegub: i wonder whats the correct way to sync that fake mbr table with the gpt table, maybe there is a tool that can do this
[18:16] <mgolisch> on my mac refit offers that, no idea how do it with linux or windows though
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> night all..
[18:17] <Chaorain> hey I have a quick question, I bought Recettear on Impulse, is it possible to install it on Linux? Impulse is listed under wine appdb as garbage
[18:18] <Pici> Chaorain: Best to ask in #winehq for application compatability issues.
[18:18] <jakegub> mgolisch: Is there a reason it happens?  I had this same computer set up the same way on a smaller hard drive.  I upgraded my drive and reinstalled windows and now Ubuntu isn't working.  I'll do some searching for a tool, but it sounds like a low-level operation which doesn't usually lend itself to nice gui programs
[18:18] <Chaorain> Pici: ah thats what that channel was
[18:18] <mgolisch> jakegub: think there is a utility named gptsync
[18:18] <mgolisch> for linux
[18:19] <jakegub> mgolisch: Let me google that for me....
[18:19] <zoopp> dr_willis: i'm reading LXDE wiki right now and I see now such thing as you mentioned, it might have been a past bug that could be fixed by now..i'll give it a try
[18:20] <pipegeek> Chaorain: I don't see any mention of it in cedega's game database :(  winehq itself lists it as "silver", which iirc means "it'll probably mostly work"
[18:21] <jakegub> mgolisch: is there a way to install the gptsync while running on a liveCD
[18:22] <Chaorain> pipegeek: lol, I can run it from the windows partition
[18:23] <mak2> hi everyone, i just wiped my /boot-partition with a careless "dd", long story short: it's no problem to reinstall grub but all the other things needed to boot are gone (initrd, etc). which packets do I have to (re)install to get them back?
[18:23] <mgolisch> jakegub: sure you just need internet on it, aslong as it supports your lan/wlan it should work
[18:23] <jakegub> mgolisch: I'm actually in the Live environment right now chatting.  The message I got from terminal is that I need to enable component 'universe'
[18:24] <zoopp> dr_wilis: i'm gonna leave now..thanks again for your help
[18:24] <exussum> Hey guys - i cant boot in to the Ubuntu CD it hangs on loading - ive added acpi=off noacpi to the kernal parameters which makes a kernel panic "CPU not syncing context currupt
[18:24] <himanshu> hey, I want to register in this irc. but as i read these instructions, i am a bit confused where i shd write these commands (in the ubuntu-unregged channel?)
[18:24] <xm> hi. would anybody know how to disable passwords. i'm being asked every time i want to do sth on my netbook?
[18:25] <aeon-ltd> xm: uhh sudo is needed for security reasons
[18:25] <xm> erUSUL: it's kristiina here, are you in?
[18:26] <erUSUL> xm: hi
[18:26] <xm> no no options of turning it off?
[18:26] <aeon-ltd> xm: i'm not saying you have to conform, but seriously around 60% of ubuntu's security is that one password entry
[18:26] <xm> erUSUL: sound working fine:)
[18:26] <LunaVorax> Hello everyone
[18:26] <erUSUL> xm: glad to hear it :)
[18:26] <aeon-ltd> xm: you could log in as root, or edit the sudoers file to allow every command without password
[18:27] <john__> >	hi, is extending an internet connection from a full install ubuntu computer to a windows xp computer possible through a 1394 port??
[18:27] <mgolisch> jakegub: yeah go to setting-systemsettings-software-sources or whatever its named in your language and enable universe repo there
[18:27] <LunaVorax> I got a little problem, the buble that used to show in the top corner of my screen when someone was signing in/off in my pidgin buddie list have disappeared
[18:27] <aeon-ltd> john__: not sure, i've only known ethernet and wireless to do that
[18:27] <Glen_> hello all  I have a question.   I have an emachines ET1810   I am wanting to set up Ubuntu on this machine.  Should I put server on it and then virtualize to put desktop on it?
[18:28] <mgolisch> Glen_: what for?
[18:28] <xm> aeon-ltd: i tried something that i found on the net, but it didn't work. is it safe to do?
[18:28] <john__> i was able to go from an xp to an xp
[18:28] <pipegeek> Glen_: ... if you want to
[18:29] <pat|nG> how can i make printscreen on my desktop?
[18:29] <Sith_Lord> Glen_: seems to be a waste unless you have an actual use for the server. if its just going to be a desktop machine install it as such
[18:29] <Glen_> Im trying to learn Linux.  and was wanting to set up the server for learning it and also being able to have the desktop
[18:29] <xm> aeon-ltd: so do you type that password every time when you have to do something?
[18:29] <jrib> pat|nG: press the printscreen button on your keyboard
[18:30] <aeon-ltd> xm: no for "everything" but for changing things not owned in you own ~/ home directory, yse
[18:30] <aeon-ltd> *yes
[18:30] <Glen_> I am wanting to set up a fileserver also
[18:30] <aeon-ltd> *no not for
[18:30] <pipegeek> pat|nG: you can associate the printscreen button with gnome-screenshot
[18:30] <pat|nG> jrib: i just pressed it but it seems only my wallpaper was captured? i can't see my panel and my dock on it....
[18:30] <aeon-ltd> !samba | Glen_
[18:30] <pipegeek> pat|nG: using the "keyboard shortcuts" control panel
[18:31] <Sith_Lord> if you got the resources Glen_, install server on a different box altogether
[18:31] <himanshu>  hey, I want to register in this irc. but as i read these instructions, i am a bit confused where i shd write these commands (in the ubuntu-unregged channel?). I did so, but didn't get any mail from them.
[18:32] <Pici> himanshu: Registration help is available in #freenode
[18:32] <xm> aeon-ltd: it's my netbook so i guess everything is owned by me:) would you be able to tell me how to do it?
[18:32] <pat|nG> pipegeek: how?
[18:32] <jrib> pat|nG: umm, should include panels and such afaik
[18:32] <xm> aeon-ltd: or point me in the right direction?
[18:32] <aeon-ltd> xm: do what? also what things do you have to type your password for?
[18:32] <Glen_> k ty fo the info
[18:32] <pipegeek> pat|nG: open up the control panel; it should be pretty straightforward
[18:33] <xm> installing new software
[18:33] <aeon-ltd> xm: that doesn't sound like much
[18:34] <rusivi> when using gparted or partman, does anyone know if a cloned partition pushed to back to the same partition or another should keep it's original UUID?
[18:34] <pat|nG> jrib: yup! i did pressed prntscrn but only my wallpaper and no docks and panels
[18:34] <pat|nG> wew
[18:35] <binary> is it possible to encrypt my ubuntu partition post install? Also if i encrypt it at what time would it pormpt me for the encyption key? During boot? When i attempt to open home dir? or..?
[18:35] <aeon-ltd> xm: but if you want to, do a "sudo visudo" in terminal, then type at the bottom ALL      All=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/synaptics (or replace synaptics with apt-get if you use that instead of synaptics)
[18:35] <xm> aeon-ltd: i guess you're right, at least nobody will be able to mess things up. anyway i can't edit my panel. i can't remove icons from panel (ei.username and chat account) i don't use them. options are grayed out. would you know how to do it?
[18:35] <jrib> pat|nG: you're not hold alt or shift or ctrl?
[18:35] <jrib> holding*
[18:35] <aeon-ltd> xm: unlock the panel
[18:35] <karthee> has anybody tried  doing IM on terminal ?  .. Like google chat / Yahoo Messenger chat on terminal ?
[18:36] <rusivi> This questions was prompted by bug 148743
[18:36] <jrib> karthee: I like bitlbee...
[18:36] <pat|nG> nope nothing just pressing prntscrn and that's it....do i have to hold alt? or shift?
[18:36] <rusivi> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/148743
[18:36] <xm> aeon-ltd: how?
[18:36] <jrib> pat|nG: no, alt I think does just windows.  Does it work if you disable effects (for troubleshooting purposes)?
[18:36] <aeon-ltd> xm: right click on a empty space on the panel
[18:37] <jrib> pat|nG: ah, here you go: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/577066
[18:37] <xm> aeon-ltd: only properties and inside show windows work places
[18:37] <karthee> jrib: I dont know why you suggested me that .. Does it allow do google chat/ Yahoo messenger chat on terminal ??
[18:37] <aeon-ltd> xm: what panel is this? gnome-panel?
[18:38] <jrib> karthee: yes...
[18:38] <xm> aeon-ltd: yeah. 10.04 netbook edition
[18:38] <Doyle> bitlbee?
[18:39] <v-himanshu> thanks Pici. It worked.
[18:39] <karthee> jrib: okay .. ll have a look into that .. thanks
[18:39] <xm> aeon-ltd: i read that's impossible to do:(
[18:39] <aeon-ltd> xm: man, i  just found out http://maketecheasier.com/unlock-gnome-panel-in-ubuntu-netbook-edition-une/2010/04/25
[18:39] <xm> aeon-ltd: woman, you ment:)
[18:40] <aeon-ltd> xm: meh, hard to tell through type
[18:40] <aeon-ltd> xm: but read that site, it has info how to change it
[18:41] <xm> aeon-ltd: i'll have a look now. thank you:)
[18:41] <pat|nG> i would to ask about compiz....what does SUPER means? and which key is equal to that? and button1? thanx
[18:41] <aeon-ltd> xm: your welcome
[18:41] <erUSUL> pat|nG: the button with the windows logo
[18:41] <sandman> i need help with accessing ubuntu on my computer after i had to reinstall windows xp
[18:42] <pat|nG> erUSUL: bro what about button1?
[18:42] <erUSUL> pat|nG: those are the mouse buttons from left to right
[18:43] <Katsumi32> sandman if you reinstalled windows didnt you win installation remove ubuntu?
[18:43] <aeon-ltd> !grub | sandman
[18:43] <sandman> no i didn't lose ubuntu as my hard drive was partitioned
[18:43] <pat|nG> i tried bro but it seems nothing happnd
[18:44] <erUSUL> pat|nG: what have you tried ?
[18:44] <sandman> is grub what normally shows up asking which operating system to boot (previous versions of ubuntu along with current as well if want to load windows)??
[18:45] <mgolisch> yeah
[18:45] <mgolisch> grub is ubuntus default bootloader
[18:45] <aeon-ltd> sandman: yes
[18:45] <pat|nG> holding the win logo and the right clicking of mouse and left too
[18:48] <pat|nG> erUSUL?
[18:49] <erUSUL> pat|nG: sorry: what did you expect to happen?
[18:49] <scanie> I was wondering if anyone could help me with my "little" problem... I have ubuntu installed on a SSD drive, but I have to select my storage drive at startup to boot Ubuntu from the SSD. This is because I first installed ubuntu on my storage drive before I decided to install it on the SSD..
[18:49] <scanie> I get grub when i select the storage drive at startup and then grub starts ubuntu from my ssd
[18:50] <scanie> how can I get the SSD to automatically boot?
[18:50] <mgolisch> install grub on it?
[18:50] <pat|nG> it's the same thing bro :(
[18:50] <muhammed43> hi
[18:50] <mgolisch> i think the reason is mainly that unless told otherwise the installer installs grub to the first disk allways
[18:51] <sandman> thnx....so basically i have to go out and get a cd and burn it onto CD as it won't load from USB device??
[18:51] <aeon-ltd> muhammed43: hi
[18:51] <scanie> mgolisch: ok, i tried to install grub on the SSD's MBR but I got a nasty warning telling me that it wasnt so smart
[18:52] <erUSUL> pat|nG: sorry; i do not uderstang what the problem is. what did you expect to happen with that key combo?
[18:52] <muhammed43> i want to download gimp , but i have old version in synaptic , i tried to update but nothing changed
[18:52] <mgolisch> scanie: how did you do it?
[18:53] <ubuntu-usr> hi all
[18:53] <scanie> mgolisch: i followed a guide, let me see if i can find it.. w8
[18:53] <erUSUL> !backports | muhammed43
[18:53] <pat|nG> erUSUL: dude..i got it...it's just that i have to hold winlogo and then click mouse and drag the mouse to the whole area wew....thanx thanx
[18:53] <erUSUL> pat|nG: no problem
[18:53] <sandman> hello?
[18:54] <scanie> mgolisch: can't find it
[18:55] <roffe> a few ubuntus ago there was Totem with BBC... I can't find it no more.
[18:55] <ubuntu-usr> i have gsm modem. i can connet to the internet but i can't read sms. this feature must be supported becuse my provider have sms protection. is any software under ubuntu which is able to read sms?
[18:55] <snxs> hi, how can i fix loading aspx pages on 10.4 ?
[18:56] <mgolisch> scanie: should work using grub-install
[18:56] <squarrel> disc copy or image for a backup? what you think
[18:56] <regeya> load asp
[18:56] <qwert> Like how one can transform ubuntu to kubuntu, is it possible to make ubuntu to be functional like ubuntu server (simple, w/o mainframe)?
[18:56] <Pici> roffe: you may need to install the totem-plugins or totem-plugins-extra pacakge.
[18:56] <regeya> I doubt I have an answer, snxs, but load aspx pages in what?
[18:56] <bobboau> I'm trying to install a few printers on a server, they re both network printers, one is a xerox Phaser 6280DN, the other is an HP Officejet Pro L7600, I have them installed on my local machine so I can look up whatever configurations my workstation uses.
[18:57] <sandman> is there any particular reason why putting ubuntu desktop edition onto usb won't work when i try to boot from removable device....do i have to burn it to cd??
[18:57] <roffe> Pici, thanks, but does anyone know why it's not there by default any longer?
[18:57] <Pici> roffe: Probably space on the CD
[18:57] <erUSUL> qwert: install kubuntu-desktop package
[18:57] <snxs> just load them ! ha, ive notices they never load.. for example a checkout at a website, or just normal aspx content site, on both firefox and chrome
[18:57] <snxs> noticed*
[18:58] <qwert> erUSUL: Thanks but That'snot my question!
[18:58] <qwert> erUSUL: ubuntu -> ubuntu-server ? :)
[18:59] <erUSUL> qwert: disable gdm on login ( or uninstall all gui related packages ) install the server kernel and the services you want
[18:59] <qwert> erUSUL: Have you tried that?
[18:59] <erUSUL> no
[19:00] <BluesKaj> bobboau, so what is happening , are you trying to install printer as network printers for the other work stations, because that would probly be easiest to setup
[19:00] <qwert> erUSUL: Why to disable gui's?
[19:00] <erUSUL> qwert: append "text" to kernel options is one way ( in /etc/default/grub )
[19:00] <qwert> erUSUL: But why?
[19:01] <bobboau> I'm trying to install the printers so that I can have the server print from some cron scripts
[19:01] <erUSUL> why what?
[19:01] <Pici> qwert: Because Ubuntu Server has no graphical interface.
[19:01] <qwert> erUSUL: Huh?
[19:01] <qwert> erUSUL: Ok
[19:02] <qwert> Pici: Ok
[19:02] <BluesKaj> bobboau, sorry, I'm not familar with that kind of setup
[19:02] <erUSUL> sorry i read "how to disable gui's ..."
[19:03] <qwert> erUSUL: Np, Thanks :)
[19:04] <Out`Of`Control> Hi, There are lots of on screen keyboards programs. Problem is when i switch to other language buttons stay in english. Is there a way to solv it?
[19:05] <Out`Of`Control> Or i need to ask about it in other channel?
[19:07] <SMR_> hi guys, can someone answer a question for me?
[19:07] <SMR_> if i install ubuntu on a machine with windows 7 64-bit already installed, would grub automatically detect windows 7 and allow booting to it?
[19:08] <abhijit> SMR_, it should
[19:08] <nouitfvf> YESSS
[19:08] <nouitfvf> =)
[19:09] <snxs> so what going on with aspx on ubuntu
