[00:00] <teage> ok, feel stupid now. mhall119|work, thanks
[00:00] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: let's do some more check, if it's a standard karmic install, shall be there by default, which ubuntu version are you running ?
[00:00] <adante> hi, can someone quickly recommend a recovery tool for ext3 if i deleted a file i didn't want to
[00:01] <DasEi> adante: by rm ?
[00:01] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: 9.10....but I just uninstalled a whole bunch of KDE crap
[00:01] <jrib> !recover | adante
[00:01] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: sudo apt-get install pastebinit
[00:02] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: pastebinit /var/log/kernel.log
[00:02] <DavidJHeinrich> k
[00:02] <fabio666> do you have plymouth working on ati card?
[00:03] <airtonix> DasEi, you havet hat working right now ? last i checked it doesn't work anymore.
[00:03] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: that just waits for a while, then produces http://pastebin.com
[00:03] <boodroscotch> Hi there everybody. Could I remove the fglrx ATi driver for my Radeon card and depend solely on the xorg OSS drivers?
[00:04] <mhall119|work> DavidJHeinrich: pastebin.com changed, but pastebinit will still work against paste.ubuntu.com
[00:04] <fabio666> boodroscotch: use radeon in the xorg.conf
[00:04] <boodroscotch> for example: the xserver-xorg-video-radeon package?
[00:04] <fabio666> not sure the best thing to do
[00:04] <frankS2> How can I make pulseaudio accept several audio input streams? Like I cant play music in mpd and listen to something at youtube at the sametime
[00:04] <DavidJHeinrich> mhall119|work: so how do I get it to send stuff there?
[00:04] <al-tabq> is there any way to create a shortcut in the applications menu for a program written in java? it won't open .jar and doesn't execute commands
[00:04] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com  var/log/kernel.log
[00:04] <mhall119|work> DavidJHeinrich: it's in the man page
[00:05] <iceroot> al-tabq: make a shortcut with "java -jar /path/to/the/file.jar"
[00:05] <DasEi> airtonix: the paster ? gnarf, still broken, have to give site manually, see above
[00:05] <al-tabq> iceroot, i tried that but it won't execute
[00:05] <al-tabq> iceroot, i created a shortcut in .bashrc but it would be nice to have it in the menu as well
[00:05] <Typos_King> al-tabq:    I use a simple   script to call the java -jar ...., in ~/bin and use that to call it
[00:05]  * airtonix creates an override script
[00:06] <fabio666> al-tabq: try with java "-jar ..."
[00:06] <al-tabq> Typos_King, so you use a bash script to execute the the java and link the script, that makes sense
[00:06] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: should reveal url now
[00:06] <al-tabq> fabio666, i'll try that
[00:07] <Typos_King> al-tabq:    yes
[00:07] <fabio666> al-tabq: just do the way wine works
[00:07] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: from that command, I get a few msgs, then "IOError: [Errno socket error] [Errno -2] Name or service not known"
[00:07] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: but I just manually did it, here's the pastebin of /var/log/kern.log : http://pastebin.com/eCeHY8Gr
[00:07] <EagleScreen> do you know the dbus command to increase the screen brightness?
[00:07] <Typos_King> al-tabq:    and on some, like my jEdit call, it uses the argument for -settings="...."   to tell where my configuration files are.... so.... I use all that in the script
[00:08] <joab> I'm trying to complete uninstall sendmail (I don't want any smtp on this server) but it will only let me uninstall sendmail if I install some other smtp instead. What can I do?
[00:08] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com  /var/log/kernel.log              ,typo, the /
[00:09] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I fixed it, still doesn't work
[00:09] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: anyways, I put that file on pastebin manually, see the link : http://pastebin.com/eCeHY8Gr
[00:09] <al-tabq> Typos_Kind, nice! i'm just gonna use it for jdownloader though
[00:09] <boodroscotch> so would anything bad happen if I removed fglrx like right now?
[00:09] <adante> DasEi: uhh via samba so... not sure
[00:10] <Typos_King> EagleScreen   assuming there is one, which I doubt at all
[00:10] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com  /var/log/kern.log
[00:10] <al-tabq> Typos_King, #!/bin/bash, then java -jar ... should work right?
[00:10] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I put that file on pastebin, it is here: http://pastebin.com/eCeHY8Gr
[00:10] <Typos_King> al-tabq:    yes
[00:11] <DasEi> adante: nick-miss ?
[00:11] <Losha> joab: interesting. What *exactly* does it say when you try to remove sendmail?
[00:11] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: reading..
[00:11] <al-tabq> Typos_King, and then as 'sh ~/name.sh' in the menu aight?
[00:12] <al-tabq> Typos_King, sry for asking so much mate, still figuring how thinks work
[00:13] <Typos_King> al-tabq:    no need to sh it, just make it executable ->   chmod a+x name.sh; and call it name.sh or whatever else; I dump mines on ~/bin
[00:13] <joab> Losha: Well, I tried installing postfix now to see if that would remove sendmail, and it did. But now I can't get rid of postfix instead.
[00:13] <al-tabq> Typos_King done, it works. thanks a lot
[00:14] <joab> Losha: hmm.. It seems something called sensible-mda and mailx depends on sendmail/postfix. Removing those now... Yep, that did it :)
[00:14] <Losha> joab: very good...
[00:14] <crankharder> part
[00:15] <joab> Losha: I've just gotten this new VPS and the company that sells them seem to have preloaded them with a lot of stuff :(
[00:15] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: seems like least 3 usb devices to me, wacom (tablet) storage and mouse, but no cam, again: does lsusb list any logitech ?
[00:15] <joab> Losha: Any way to list all packages installed?
[00:15] <Losha> joab: yes, dpkg --get-selections "*"
[00:15] <Typos_King> joab:    sudo apt-get pkgnames;
[00:15] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: but he Wacom isn't a Logitech, right? and there are more USB devices thanthat (printer, scanner, DVD-drive as well)
[00:16] <Typos_King> erk
[00:16] <Typos_King> joab:    sudo apt-cache pkgnames;
[00:16] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: let me post he results of lsusb
[00:16] <joab> Thanks
[00:17] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: results of lsusb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/393646/
[00:17] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: no, just paste the output of lsusb with cam connected
[00:17] <DasEi> y
[00:17] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I just did, http://paste.ubuntu.com/393646/
[00:19] <GodfatherofEire> Quick question, how do I chroot properly into my drive to run commands for the drive?
[00:19] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: yes, seems recognized though kernel declares it as usb reiceiver ; wacom is your touchpad
[00:19] <brjann> GodfatherofEire: you've got the partition mounted, yes?
[00:20] <GodfatherofEire> brjann, not yet, I remember something about mounting and looping it
[00:20] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: one of them is a USB receiver. I have 2 Logitech devices -- my webcam, and my mouse
[00:20] <brjann> GodfatherofEire: no looping necessary; I assume you're in another OS or on a live cd?
[00:20] <GodfatherofEire> brjann, just on the live CD
[00:21] <brjann> GodfatherofEire: okay. what partitions do you have? just one, mounted at / ?
[00:21] <Backwards1> Can anyone answer an RSS feed question for me?  The Slashdot RSS feed (http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot) seems to list 15 stories at a time.  If a desktop feed reader was not running, but is opened after say 18 new items have been posted, is there any way for it to automatically fill in any gap?  Are there multiple pages to a feed, or anything like that which would allow it to catch up fully?
[00:21] <GodfatherofEire> brjann, yeah, just the one
[00:21] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I presume this one is the webcam, b/c when I unplug the Logitech mouse receiver, this is all that shows up for Logitech from lsusb: Bus 002 Device 011: ID 046d:0802 Logitech, Inc.
[00:22] <GodfatherofEire> Technically its not ubuntu, but Back|Track, but its a debian-type distro, so its close enough.
[00:22] <GodfatherofEire> I can chroot in, I just thought I needed to loop some dir
[00:22] <Drknezz> Hi guys! Whats the FASTEST filesystem? EXT2/3/4?
[00:22] <Typos_King> Backwards1:   wha?
[00:22] <brjann> GodfatherofEire: oh, do you mean /proc and /dev and all that?
[00:22] <GodfatherofEire> Yes, there we go
[00:22] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: let's try to ensure webcamdriver is there, then try a reboot, maybe unplug the receiver once, to see if that interferes:            http://paste.ubuntu.com/393659/
[00:22] <Drknezz> !ext4
[00:22] <Backwards1> Typos_King: Do you know anything about desktop RSS readers?
[00:23] <brjann> GodfatherofEire: gotcha. go ahead and mount your root partition, say at /mnt/ubuntu
[00:23] <Typos_King> Drknezz:    can't say, I've used all 3 and the only difference between is, ext2 isn't journaling, the other 2 are, I've used both 3 and 4, and the speed seems to be the same :)
[00:23] <Drknezz> Typos_King: Isnt ext4 faulty?
[00:23] <brjann> GodfatherofEire: then you'll    sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc    and     sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev
[00:23] <Typos_King> Backwards1:   not sure what that is, sounds like a new 'buzzword' though
[00:23] <Typos_King> than a practical feature
[00:23] <jpds> Drknezz: No.
[00:24] <KaOSoFt> ZykoticK9- Eject worked, but now the installation doesn't detect the new disc, hahaha.
[00:24] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: should I just paste that whole thing into my terminal?
[00:24] <Typos_King> Drknezz:    nope, worked fine for me
[00:24] <Backwards1> Typos_King: Not that new, but sort of buzzword-ish, I guess.
[00:24] <Drknezz> jpds: i heard ext4 was pretty fast, but easily corruptable
[00:24] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: also take a look at output from dmesg, if there are errors shown ;       yes, whole block
[00:24] <GodfatherofEire> brjann, then chroot I assume?
[00:24] <jpds> Drknezz: Yeah, it's been fidxed.
[00:24] <Typos_King> Backwards1:   then.... not sure what your 'buzzword' stand for :{
[00:24] <Drknezz> jpds: Phoronix guys lost some benchmark data because of that
[00:24] <brjann> GodfatherofEire: once that's done, you can chroot:     sudo chroot /mnt/ubuntu /bin/bash      and     source /etc/profile     (that last command is inside the chroot)
[00:25] <brjann> GodfatherofEire: yep
[00:25] <GodfatherofEire> brjann, thanks a million
[00:25] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: k, doing the command u sent me
[00:25] <Backwards1> Typos_King: Really Simple Syndication.  Thanks, but it'd probably take someone fairly familiar with feed readers to answer the question.
[00:25] <brjann> GodfatherofEire: no problem, good luck :)
[00:25] <Typos_King> hehe
[00:26] <zoeid> ciao a tutti
[00:26] <Typos_King> Backwards1:   I know what RSS is :P, and I use an RSS aggregator, I gather it might be what your 'buzzword' is attempting to address, sorry for my lack of 'c00lness'

[00:28] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I see no ubuntu directory under /lib/modules/2.6.31-20-generic/
[00:28] <Typos_King> Backwards1:   does  it run on my desktop? hehe, I use AKgregator, is an app on its own, and usually runs on the tray and shows me if any new articles are in or so
[00:28] <artistx> what is it?
[00:28] <Typos_King> and I can launch it and read it from there
[00:29] <serverduck> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1426406
[00:29] <Backwards1> Typos_King: Ok, so yeah, it runs on your system.  Do you follow any feeds that move quickly?  So quickly that it will have cycled more content through the feed in the time your computer has been offline that the feed itself holds?
[00:30] <Typos_King> serverduck:   sorry, no familiar with such yet... .maybe you want to elaborate more on how and when it exactly happens, for others to be able to help, 'does not work' isn't really explainful, and there's a lack of clarivoyancy in the channel ^_^
[00:30] <artistx> si parla italiano... no so molto italiano. io se spagnolo

[00:32] <serverduck> Typos_King, serial link appears to be disconnected/connection terminated.modem hangup/ (so it gives me the connection time...anything works great and then when my internet goes down and i plog i see this.)
[00:32] <Typos_King> Backwards1:   nope, the feeds I use, usually the aggregator dl's less than what they actually have in archive, this I know becuase I've used the feed url with other apps and showed me more....the articles I have aren't that old, in fact I already read the ones for today ^_^
[00:32] <dougmencken> hi all, I want to try Ubuntu; how good is it? video (.avis) and dvd? audio cd, mp3s?
[00:32] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: sudo apt-get install easycam2-core  easycam2-qt
[00:33] <Backwards1> Typos_King: Ok, well thanks anyway.
[00:33] <DasEi> dougmencken: fine, no probs here
[00:33] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: why am I getting that?
[00:33] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I installed Cheese, it says no camera
[00:33] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: it's an automatic driver-checking utility
[00:34] <berkedurak> hello there.  i have a few weeks free time and i'd like to contribute some small gui application that would be actually useful to end-users.  does anyone have ideas?
[00:34] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: either cause you're usb go wrong in recognition or right driv er isn't on your sys
[00:34] <dougmencken> hmm, in Debian I'm experiencing cd auto-close problem, no working drm/radeon driver for my card, libata can't play audiocds
[00:34] <Typos_King> doughmencken:   ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu or eeebuntu?
[00:34] <Typos_King> :P
[00:34] <jrib> dougmencken: #debian

[00:36] <dougmencken> Typos_King, I prefer E16 (Enlightenment 16), if you're curious; jrib, I was in #debian, I sent 5 bug reports in the last week; but I have told many times that in Ubuntu is everything fine
[00:36] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I also searched for it in synaptic, no love
[00:36] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: it's in my repos somwhere, but there is..
[00:36] <sqwertle> could someone take a look at this and offer some insight? http://tinyurl.com/yhkc9wo
[00:36] <jrib> dougmencken: that's fine, I thought you were asking for help with a debian issue
[00:37] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: 32 or 64 bit ?
[00:37] <brjann> berkedurak: #ubuntu is for support, not development; but you might ask in #ubuntu-devel :)
[00:37] <Typos_King> doughmencken:   E16 is not a distribution though, sure you can run E16 under ubuntu, since it's just a window manager :p
[00:37] <dougmencken> okay, so worth a try; wgetting ubuntu .iso
[00:37] <artistx> que se hace aqui exactamente__
[00:37] <Typos_King> !es | artistx
[00:37] <berkedurak> brjann: thanks will do but I think end-users would have better ideas than developers
[00:38] <dougmencken> Typos_King, yeah, e16 works well with KDE or Gnome, the only thing is to kill nautilus coz it can show only one desktop wallpaper for all workspaces
[00:38] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: gksudo  gedit /etc/apt/sources.list              , do you run 32 or 64 bit ?
[00:38] <serverduck> Typos_King, ehh it's ok. thanks anyway! :)
[00:39] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: 64-bit
[00:39] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich:k, close gedit , is just for 32, then :

[00:44] <l0lwut> Has anyone figured out how to get wpa2 to properly work on the rl2860 chipset, I've installed the most recent version and it refuses to stay connected. If i restart my laptop,(Eee 1000he), it will connect momentarily only to drop the connection a minute or so later after which I cannot reconnect what so ever. Ive been searhing the forums for the last two hours and have yet to find any solution that works.

[00:46] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: still error about phython-xml ?
[00:46] <Typos_King> l0lwut:    ...... I am assuming it might be the drivers for the 2860?
[00:46] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I ran the sudo apt-get -f install, still error about python, no installationcandidate
[00:47] <l0lwut> typos_king, ive downloaded the most recent ones and they still wont work
[00:47] <histo> I've checked syslog and messages and can't find any info about why its hanging. It just locks up randomly
[00:47] <Typos_King> l0lwut:    ... I mean, not sure on the wpa2 part, but I use a ralink 2860 and works peachy for me, then again, I installed the drivers which came in .zip by running 'make install'

[00:48] <Typos_King> l0lwut:    the most recent ones,..  which ones are those?
[00:48] <l0lwut> typos_king, are you using v2.3 of the drivers?

[00:48] <Losha> m4j: do you mean is there a video streaming server for ubuntu?
[00:49] <Typos_King> l0lwut:     ralink issued a 2086 driver, which is no longer available on their site, but I found them through another peripherals maker, who has them for their hardware, when I downloaded, it noticed the .zip file was the one issued by ralink, no longer on their website
[00:49] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: yes, phython-xml permantly removed from karmic, try to start it : gksudo 'python /usr/share/EasyCam2/core.py --gtk'
[00:49] <Typos_King> l0lwut:     I don't use the 2.3, this one is the 2086 from ralink
[00:50] <histo> Just looking for ideas on where to troubleshoot
[00:50] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: that gives me a carot...should I close the quote ' ?
[00:50] <l0lwut> typos_king, can you send me a link or something to those drivers?
[00:50] <Typos_King> l0lwut:     one sec
[00:51] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: that tells me, "python: can't open file '/usr/share/EasyCam2/core.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory~ $
[00:51] <DavidJHeinrich> "

[00:52] <Losha> histo: it might still be hardware: something about that model may tickle some kernel bug. That said, only one other person seems to report hanging with ubuntu on google, and it's not the same as your case. Which release are you running?
[00:55] <ppaulhus> Hey, the display menu in gnome does not provide me with the native resolution of my monitor... how would I proceed into changing the resolution to that custom resolution..

[00:55] <panfist> can someone please tell me why xdmcp is such a pain in karmic? i used to use it all the time. i just upgraded, and after two hours i still can't get it working
[00:55] <l0lwut> typos_king, so you use that one and it works fine? also thats weird lol
[00:55] <Typos_King> l0lwut:     yeah, works fine for me
[00:56] <Yyharssargyhaell> ppaulhus, You can't adjust for 1024x768?
[00:56] <Typos_King> l0lwut:     btw, I don't think that is the same as the 2.3v
[00:56] <coz_> ppaulhus, you could use  xrandr
[00:56] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: wget http://blognux.free.fr/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/easycam2-qt.deb
[00:56] <DasEi> sudo dpkg -i easycam2-qt.deb
[00:56] <Yyharssargyhaell> Sorry, read wrong
[00:56] <Yyharssargyhaell> >_>
[00:56] <coz_> ppaulhus,   maybe here  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-change-display-resolution-settings-using-xrandr.html
[00:56] <ppaulhus> Yyharssargyhaell: no, that's what it displays right now, but the native resoution is bigger
[00:56] <Yyharssargyhaell> ppaulhus, Yeah, I misread - follow coz_'s suggestion
[00:57] <ppaulhus> Yyharssargyhaell: thanks, I'll have a look
[00:57] <l0lwut> typos_king, yeah that is version 1.8 I have read in a bunch of places that it has the same problem, are you able to connect to a network that uses tkip/aes rather then just one of those individually?
[00:57] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: that's a kde package, but avoids these deps
[00:57] <histo> Losha: karmic
[00:57] <ppaulhus> also, when I installed ubuntu, I had an nvidia video card in there... but now i removed it and im back to the onboard intel.. do i need to install drivers or something or thats taken care of automatically with 9.10?
[00:57] <histo> Losha: I'm thinking something with acpi maybe?  i'll try acpi=off when I get physical access to the box tomorrow.
[00:58] <histo> After changing /etc/default/grub do you need to run update-grup for the changes to take effect? or does it pull the file dynamically?
[00:58] <trism> histo: you need to run update-grub
[00:58] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: that results inan error: http://pastebin.com/PeDfDZic
[00:58] <DasEi> ppaulhus: worth a try, but might have to reconfigure graphics, is your current xorg empty ?
[00:58] <Losha> histo: You might also try 8.04LTS, as its the most stable. If that doesn't work, I'd try openbsd, which has a different kernel altogether...
[01:00] <Typos_King> l0lwut:     .... no, haven't needed to..... for aes/tkip..... as said, dunno on the wpa2 part... but for me it works very well, I believe the 2.3v you're addressing is for 2300 chipsets, not 2860.....I recall I also found .zip for 2500 and 2600.... but my chipset is 2860
[01:01] <Typos_King> l0lwut:     I do know that the connection I use doesn't have wpa2 or aes that I know hehe
[01:01] <Purpley> If I burn a iso to a cd with CD/DVD CReator will it be a live cd?
[01:02] <l0lwut> typos_king, yeah the thing is i can connect to non wpa2 networks no problem
[01:02] <Typos_King> Purpley:    .iso images burn at 'raw', if the .iso is bootable, the cd will boot, regardless of what app you use to burn it with
[01:03] <Typos_King> l0lwut:     .... can't say, haven't needed to myself yet :), are you on kubuntu?
[01:03] <l0lwut> typos_king, nah ubuntu
[01:04] <Typos_King> ...ok, I know knetworkmanagers doesn't do wpa2.... so hehe
[01:04] <l0lwut> typos_king, its just frustrating I moved from slackware13 to ubuntu just because its easier to mange updates n such but its proved to be quite a pain
[01:04] <Typos_King> hhhehe, and slackware13 wasn't? sorta speak
[01:06] <Typos_King> l0lwut:        there's .... a network manager which is meant to be optimized for RaLInk chipsets, 'rtutil', is in the repositories, not sure if that may help you, I've used it
[01:06] <Losha> Purpley: if you burn it in image mode, and the iso is the correct one, the answer is yes, it will be a bootable live cd
[01:07] <spencer_> QUESTION: installing gnome-voice-control in Karmic does not seem to install an accompanying applet, anybody know what to do? I've never used it but I've heard of it and would like to try it out
[01:07] <GhostFreeman> !ubottu | git
[01:07] <Hathadar> I have setup sodoers to allow a specific user access to /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon.  I have set that user's timeout to -1 so I do not have to enter the sudo password.  This works well.  When I try to run the same command via plink, i get this output: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d82MB519  How do I correct this?
[01:08] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: sudo apt-get install  build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r) && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:09] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: nope, still no love
[01:10] <GhostFreeman> How do I use the channel bot and ask him a question
[01:10] <brandon420> i need someone that is really good with networks and ssh to help me out please
[01:10] <histo> Losha: Yeah my hunch is power management issue i';m thinking. Which is wierd because I thought a command line system wouldnt' use any power management stuff.
[01:10] <trism> !askthebot | GhostFreeman
[01:12] <GhostFreeman> How do I install git on Ubuntu?
[01:12] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: just to be sure, the last ; now disconect the receiver, it's strange to me that usb-cam isn't clearly listed in lsusb, try a reboot, if that won't do we can try to manually make the old hardy driver, though not very elegant; short before I used easycam (kde one) here, it's still working fine, but their wbsite seems down, too
[01:13] <trism> GhostFreeman: sudo apt-get install git-core;
[01:13] <duclam> anyone using hp laptops with nVidia graphic card? and have problem with the display???
[01:14] <Nooneshere> Hello
[01:14] <Losha> histo: more to the point, I wouldn't expect a *server* installation to go into power saving mode...
[01:14] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: sudo reboot
[01:14] <Nooneshere> I am wiping my parition. i backed up home. Should i back up anything else?
[01:15] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I'll do that in min, hen report back

[01:16] <duclam> anyone using hp laptops with nVidia graphic card? and have problem with the display???
[01:18] <Losha> Nooneshere: I like to back up /etc also. It has most of the config files you might need to recreate the installation if you choose....
[01:18] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: Webcam works again!!!!
[01:18] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: maybe just needed reboot? freakin' magic?
[01:19] <Nooneshere> Thank you Losha
[01:19] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: Thank you!
[01:20] <saylar> hey guys.
[01:20] <dsnyders> saylar, and gals.  There may be gals here too.
[01:20] <saylar> I'm desperately looking for someone who can help me with an openvpn problem.
[01:20] <saylar> well, i doubt that, but hey gals. :P
[01:21] <saylar> i described my problem already here, maybe someone can have a look. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8941068#post8941068
[01:23] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: are oil to my senses, well, I gues you got a prob with the usb-receiver messing up the config at boot up, paste output of dmesg
[01:23] <dsnyders> saylar, At first glance it looks like your default gateway is duplicated.  Any traffic not local to your LAN is being sent out the VPN link.
[01:24] <saylar> dsnyders, do you have an idea what is causing this behaviour?
[01:24] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: I left the USB receiver in, just rebooted as is
[01:24] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: and also can remove the uneeded wget's and the failed easycam-stuff / ucvvideodir
[01:24] <dsnyders> saylar, My first glance may have been hasty, though.  Let me take a closer look at things.
[01:25] <saylar> that would be nice, thank you
[01:25] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: dmesg is of interest, and maybe syslog tells you which driver is used
[01:25] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: result of dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/393687/
[01:26] <Random831> (forgot my password and the system it's saved on crashed - i'll recover the hard drive, but no time now)
[01:27] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: looks all good now, usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
[01:27] <Random832> nm got it
[01:27] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: GREAT! :-)
[01:27] <Random832> so anyway - grub completely fails on my new [used] laptop and I have no idea why
[01:27] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: Thank you very much for your help
[01:28] <Random832> I managed to get it working with - LILO of all things [and found some bugs in that] but was wondering if anyone could help me track down the underlying problem
[01:28] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: no prob, if you want some fun, try the sppedlink square cam (2 weeks, no way..)
[01:28] <Random832> also, do the kernel install scripts in apt support lilo (i.e. re-running liloconfig and lilo each time the kernel is upgraded)?
[01:28] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: sppedlink square cam? what's what?
[01:29] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: speedlink*, another brand/model
[01:29] <DavidJHeinrich> what would be nice is if cameras shipped oriented in portrait mode, and the software could display it that way! I am a person, I am a rectangle that is taller than I am fat! I do not need to be displayed in 4:3 or 3:2...I need 2:3 or 3:4!
[01:29] <DavidJHeinrich> DasEi: is it one that is a PITA?
[01:30] <DasEi> DavidJHeinrich: yes, it has a chip semms really exotic
[01:30] <Random832> DavidJHeinrich, have you considered rotating your camera 90 degrees to the left?
[01:30] <Random832> and anyway, portraits aren't the only thing a camera is good for
[01:31] <DavidJHeinrich> Random832: yea, it isn't designed to sit up that way...and then Skype just displays me sideways!
[01:32] <qiyong> how do I have auto mount media work?
[01:34] <DasEi> qiyong: you want /media/work to be mounted at boot-time ?
[01:34] <qiyong> DasEi, work at the time disk is inserted
[01:35] <jimlovell777> Possibly dumb question: When I authenticate to gksudo I don't have to again for the next ten minutes. What keeps a malicious piece of software that might have been installed by a user from trying to run as root every five minutes? Won't it eventually succeed? This isn't a concern of mine jne, just a thought I had.
[01:36] <DasEi> qiyong: which is mounted in /media/work , do : sudo chown -R $USER /media/work from your regualr user account
[01:37] <DasEi> jimlovell777: not really, as it's just your terminal, another tty will ask again, before that default 15 min, also can lower the time, if concerned (like away from desk)
[01:40] <DasEi> qiyong: I hope I understood your question right
[01:41] <dsnyders> saylar, yes, it looks like it would route anything from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS>.255 out the tun0 interface, and anything else out of <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:41] <brandon420> soo, i need help gaining access to a remote machine..... anyone up for the challenge?
[01:41] <dsnyders> saylar, have you had a look at http://www.adamsinfo.com/quick-linux-and-windows-openvpn-howto-and-tutorial-including-vpn-routing/
[01:41] <DasEi> brandon420: ssh ?
[01:42] <saylar> dsnyders, thank you. i will have a look at what it says.
[01:43] <dsnyders> saylar, Is the linux box acting as a vpn client or server?
[01:43] <mikejf> Does anyone know how to make a cups server print to another cups server?
[01:43] <saylar> as a client
[01:43] <saylar> client for vpn, server for ssh and samba
[01:44] <dsnyders> saylar, do you want it to act as a gateway for your 192 network to access the 10 network?
[01:44] <Extend> how can i create a .gz file of a directory using gzip
[01:46] <DasEi> Extend: gzip -r /some/dir   , see man gzip
[01:46] <xenaxon> Hello, I'm a windows user trying linux for the first time, what do you recommend: Ubuntu or Kubuntu
[01:46] <DSGandalf> how can I set the screen resolution above 800x600?
[01:46] <saylar> i want to achieve the following. Computer A shall act as ssh and samba server in my LAN, 192.168.X.X. in addition, computer A shall connect to an vpn server.
[01:47] <gringochapin> xenaxon: I suggest Ubuntu, just because it seems to be a bit more popular, and so might be easier to find local support.
[01:47] <dotwaffle> I seem to be getting very slow disk speeds since upgrading to karmic - writing to disk is in the 7-11MB/s range, and reading dpkg database takes 5-10 seconds. Any ideas?
[01:47] <saylar> so i basically don't need any interaction between 192 and 10 dsnyders
[01:47] <DasEi> xenaxon: the core is same on xubu-kubu-ubu, that are just different surfaces/libs, ubuntu is most common, but can also-same sys, have kde and others besides on it, session-wide
[01:47] <gringochapin> xenaxon: but no reason not to try both.
[01:48] <saylar> i don't even know if that is possbile, possible that I'm just darn stupid ;)
[01:49] <Typos_King> Extend:     gzip -9 -r YOURFOLDER;    # iirc
[01:49] <Typos_King> Extend:     though you can also use 'zip -9 -r ...' just as well
[01:49] <Extend> Typos_King, thanks
[01:50] <DSGandalf> where can I find drivers for SiS Mirage 3 Graphics Card? I cannot fix the screen resolution above 800x600
[01:51] <Typos_King> Extend:     you might need to tar it firrst.... iirfc too, thus using tar instead
[01:52] <skraps> typos_King: whats the difference between tar.gz and gz or are they just as equivalent ? Iv never understood
[01:52] <ddrj> installing ubuntu on htpc, wat filesystem to use ?
[01:52] <Typos_King> Extend:     tar -czvf YOURFOLDERHERE;
[01:53] <nwidger> any here have a zotac ionitx-a-u motherboard?
[01:53] <renegaid> anyone know of a good usenet clients?
[01:53] <DasEi> DSGandalf: http://tinyurl.com/y9qwj5x
[01:53] <ddrj> renegaid
[01:53] <ddrj> sabnzbd
[01:53] <renegaid> that thing sucks man
[01:53] <ddrj> no way man
[01:53] <ddrj> best one
[01:53] <renegaid> is there nothing like newsleecher
[01:53] <Typos_King> skraps:    IIRC, gzip doesn't 'tar' or bundle, only compresses on a file-per-file basis, tar bundles but doesn't comprress, so a combo of both, produces a tarball with compression, hehe
[01:54] <DSGandalf> thanks a lot!
[01:54] <Typos_King> skraps:   which these days with zip/rar you can do in 1 step
[01:54] <Losha> renegaid: text or binaries?
[01:54] <renegaid> binaries
[01:54] <PiousMinion> Hi, I just burned a good copy of 9.10 (slow, verified, etc) and when I select the option to install, the slow strobing white ubuntu logo never goes away.  What should I do?
[01:55] <seanbrystone> How do I get Nautilus to open something in vim? the Open With context menus work for gvim, but not vim
[01:55] <PiousMinion> oh, and after a while the scroll lock and caps lock lights on the keyboard just flash over and over.
[01:55] <rahduke> for some reason my application minimize animation (zoom effect) minimizes stuff to my panel instead of my dock, does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or how to fix it??
[01:56] <ddrj> does it matter what filesystem i use for ubuntu? i was just gonna use ext4
[01:56] <Typos_King> ddrj:    don't think so, I've used ext3/4
[01:56] <PiousMinion> ddrj: ext4 should be safe, but ext3 has been used longer and is somewhat 'safer'
[01:56] <ddrj> alright thanks
[01:56] <elmakaru_22> hi
[01:57] <blakkheim> ddrj: it depends on what it will be used for
[01:57] <blakkheim> ddrj: different filesystems have different dis/advantages
[01:57] <dsnyders> saylar, you need to do a route add -net command of some sort to get <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS> to use tun0.
[01:57] <ddrj> it's just going to be used as a fileserver / torrent server + htpc to stream to my tv
[01:57] <DasEi> PiousMinion: so you get  a kernel panik there, test the cd on another comp if possible, then look into :
[01:57] <DasEi> !bootoptions
[01:57] <blakkheim> ddrj: you might want to do some research on the different FS then
[01:57] <skraps> typos_king: i just tried it, I never knew that gzip wouldnt handle directories, I just tried and it failed i thought gzip was like zip or 7zip, learn something new every day.
[01:58] <trism> seanbrystone: right-click on the file type, properties, open with tab, add, custom command: gnome-terminal -x vim %x
[01:58] <elmakaru_22> i am looking for a tv online program
[01:58] <ddrj> damn
[01:58] <PiousMinion> DasEi: CD is fine, what boot options do you reccomend?
[01:58] <DasEi> PiousMinion: acpi or vga are often helpfull, but in the dark -- what kinda machine is it ?
[01:59] <PiousMinion> blakkheim: different FS are good for different things, but most of the time(especially for ubuntu users) extN is best.
[01:59] <elmakaru_22> can you tell me a tv online program
[01:59] <elmakaru_22> or radio
[01:59] <PiousMinion> DasEi: dell laptop, pentium 4 based, 17" wide, radon x300, 1gb of ram. anything else?
[02:00] <dsnyders> elmakaru_22, you could go to hulu.com if you are in the US.
[02:00] <elmakaru_22> i am in europe
[02:00] <PiousMinion> elmakaru_22: pandor.com
[02:00] <PiousMinion> elmakaru_22: pandora.com  *
[02:00] <DasEi> PiousMinion: sounds common, acpi=off , could be older bios, maybe reset bios to defaults
[02:00] <elmakaru_22> thanks
[02:00] <dsnyders> elmakaru_22, for radio, you should check out live365.com
[02:00] <seanbrystone> trism, Yay! That did it thanks! Ive been asking that all day. :)
[02:00] <nwidger> so i created a usb startup disk using the utility in the system menu, plug it into my computer, ensure that boot off usb is enabled and try to boot off of it but nothing happens, the computer just sits there with a black screen.  so i burn the image to a dvd and plug in my external dvd drive and try to boot off that and get the same problem.  anyone have any idea what i might be doing wrong?
[02:01] <Typos_King> elmakaru_22:      www.shoutcast.com   bunches of streamed mp3 stations :)
[02:01] <PiousMinion> nwidger: the utility failed ?
[02:01] <DasEi> nwidger: verified download ? burned cd image to a dvd ?
[02:01] <DasEi> !md5sum
[02:01] <nwidger> nwidger: except i put the dvd in another computer and it booted off it just fine.
[02:02] <earthen> nwidger, I did that also but i found that on some systems you have to wait for an extremely long time for it to boot
[02:02] <nwidger> earthen: hmm okay ill try waiting i suppose
[02:02] <earthen> nwidger, I tried one one computer and the screen went blank for what seemed like 5 min
[02:04] <manualoverride> hey does anyone know how to connect a linksys wireless wusb600N on ubuntu 9.10

[02:09] <serverduck> PiousMinion, serial link appears to be disconnected/connection terminated.modem hangup(i don't have a modem, i connect through lan...why is that appearing)?
[02:10] <serverduck> No one seems to know the answer and i have to keep on sudo pppoeconf, every 2 minutes which is absurd.
[02:10] <PiousMinion> serverduck: It looks at ppp like a modem. think of it as a virtual modem.
[02:10] <lullabud> serverduck: have you checked the logfiles?
[02:10] <serverduck> lullabud, I don't know how sir.

[02:11] <elmakaru_22> can anybody tell me  a program to watch tv online plss
[02:12] <lullabud> serverduck: there's a tool in system -> administration -> log file viewer
[02:12] <niedalry> I have a problem with Firefox and Seamonkey not displaying web pages correctly in Ubuntu is this a common or known problem? Everything displays correctly in other browsers.
[02:12] <sqwertle> Or a possible way to access the kernel without ever booting into graphical mode?
[02:12] <serverduck> lullabud, ok, I will check it now. Thanks!
[02:12] <lullabud> sqwertle: you can boot to single user mode by pausing the boot and adding "single" at the end of the boot string
[02:12] <qayos> I'm having some troubles, wondering if anyone could help.  I had 9.10 installed, then installed 8.04LTS on another partition (using same /home, but different /).  The burn was bad, and now I cannot boot to anything.  Can anyone help me get my 9.10 install back?
[02:13] <serverduck> lullabud, and what file exactly do i need to check?
[02:13] <qayos> I think the problem is that 9.10 uses GRUB2, not 1
[02:13] <serverduck> lullabud, syslog?
[02:13] <lullabud> serverduck: i'm not exactly sure.  a good way to find out is to browse the logs where the timestamp is about when you got disconnected...
[02:13] <lullabud> serverduck: syslog is a great place to start, but ppp might have its own log.
[02:14] <lullabud> serverduck: also, there may be a way to start ppp in a verbose mode that will log all sorts of stuff
[02:14] <sqwertle> lullabud:  The problem I'm having is preventing me from doing that :(
[02:14] <serverduck> lullabud, well your answer is exactly what i've got in terminal....i disconnect every 2 -3 minutes , sometimes 1,5...1
[02:14] <lullabud> sqwertle: you can edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file and set your default to single
[02:15] <serverduck> lullabud, that's what i see in the logs

[02:15] <lullabud> serverduck: if you enable a verbose mode in ppp it should log all sorts of additional things like handshakes and stuff.

[02:16] <lullabud> serverduck: i'm not sure, it's been a long time since i've dealt with that.  try `man ppp` to see if there's a verbose mode
[02:16] <gloom> I think I'm going to ask a dummy question, but: is it possible to restart the X server programtically from an X application?
[02:16] <serverduck> lullabud, thanks
[02:16] <lullabud> gloom: yes
[02:16] <qayos> Losha - I'm not sure at what point it went bad, bit it said there were errors on the DVD.
[02:16] <faron> do you mean ctrl alt del ??
[02:17] <cell> serverduck;when i download and install a package using the command line after i cant see the programs
[02:17] <serverduck> lullabud,   no manuall entry for man ppp
[02:17] <renegaid> to start sabnzb on other platforms you just click an icon but on ubuntu you use a command line. weird
[02:17] <lullabud> faron: no, that would trigger a restart.  ctrl-alt-backspace is often tied to an X restart
[02:17] <faron> ctrl alt bkspc should restart me huh ?
[02:17] <Losha> qayos: Do you have a good live install cd for 9.10?
[02:17] <serverduck> lullabud, for ppp, sorry:)
[02:17] <cell> serverduck; how do i get to see the programs
[02:17] <faron> you certain you don't have that backwards ?
[02:17] <qayos> I cannot find it at the moment, heh.  This one for 8.04LTS seems to work for now though...
[02:18] <gloom> lullabud, really? How? I guess that if from the code I kill the X process, it will kill the X app as well because it has been launched from the X environment, so the next instruction which will be to start the X server again would never get to be run....
[02:18] <qayos> I am on 8.04 livecd currently
[02:18] <serverduck> cell, ask here, your questios, right now I can't answer because i'm a beginner aswell! :)
[02:18] <cell> serverduck;ok
[02:18] <lullabud> !ask
[02:18] <cell> pls who can help me here pls
[02:19] <Losha> qayos: if you can boot the 8.04 livecd, you can do a grub restore. Let me find a link for you...
[02:19] <qayos> Losha: I can burn one and come back when I have it if necessary.
[02:19] <cell> when i download and install a package using the command line after i cant see the programs
[02:19] <Losha> !grub | qayos
[02:19] <lullabud> serverduck: i'm not sure what man page to check... whatever your pppoe daemon is, that's the manual you wan tto read.
[02:19] <cell> how do i get to see the programs
[02:19] <qayos> Losha: ok, i tried following one, and i got to the step that said to do a find, and i got an error, the instructions said nothing about what to do on error
[02:19] <gloom> cell, which program are you installing, how are you installing it, and where you don't see it?
[02:19] <serverduck> lullabud, you have any ideea who can help me get this issue fixed?who knows about pppoe under ubuntu?
[02:20] <Losha> qayos: erm, if your 9.10 release uses ext4 (the default) you won't be able to see if from 8.04 and you'll need to do the grub restore using the 9.10 livecd...
[02:21] <cell> gloom;i first tried antivirus with pack name clamav then also i tried pack name libyahoo2-10
[02:21] <qayos> I set it to ext3
[02:21] <lullabud> serverduck: who, i do not know.  pppoe is pretty esoteric these days...
[02:21] <lullabud> serverduck: have you tried plog -r ?  that should auto-restart if it's dropped.
[02:21] <cell> gloom;that too i didnt see anything
[02:21] <qayos> Losha: All my partitions are NTFS or Ext3 (or swap)
[02:21] <lullabud> serverduck: definitely check `man plog` if you haven't yet.
[02:22] <serverduck> lullabud, esoteric as in outdated?:D ook thanks!
[02:22] <gloom> cell, are you installing from the repositories?
[02:22] <jeeez> hi, i'm trying to configure mpd, but the log shows: 'can't find alsa mixer control "PCM"' how do i fix this?
[02:22] <serverduck> lullabud,  is just that i read a lot but can't get this issue fixed.
[02:22] <Losha> qayos: ok, can you open a terminal and run 'sudo fdisk -l' (that's lower case L) and paste the output to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com
[02:22] <gloom> cell, or downloading the package from a website?
[02:22] <cell> gloom;i am using the command line
[02:22] <lullabud> serverduck: no, not deprecated, esoteric as in not many people use it.
[02:23] <iicsa> anyone used xvidcap before? I'm looking for the keyboard shortcut to pause... google has not helped me find it.
[02:23] <gloom> gloom, I know that. But are you using the repositories?
[02:23] <gloom> heheh, I talk to myself
[02:23] <serverduck> lullabud,  ok
[02:23] <qayos> Losha: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/FyXUHRiV
[02:23] <gloom> that was for you, CELL
[02:23] <cell> gloom;so how do i see them???
[02:24] <lullabud> serverduck: looks like pppd has a "debug" option that will show you tons of options.
[02:24] <cell> gloom;they tell me its done installing
[02:24] <sqwertle> Is anyone here familiar with the process of modifying (actually replacing) the kernel before making the boot disk?
[02:24] <lullabud> serverduck: er, not tons of options, tons of debug info...
[02:24] <gloom> cell, man, answer my question. Are you using the repositories??? Are you downloading the package from the internet? What are you doing? If you don't tell what exactly are you doing no one could help you
[02:24] <serverduck> lullabud,  how can i see the debug info?
[02:24] <cell> gloom; yes
[02:24] <serverduck> lullabud, pppd in the terminal?
[02:24] <qayos> sda1 - WinXP, sda2 - Ubuntu9.10 / (all but /home), sda3 swap, sda5 - /home, sda6 - failed Ubuntu8.04 install of / (all but /home)
[02:24] <lullabud> serverduck: if you start the pppd from a terminal it will probably spit out into the terminal
[02:25] <serverduck> lullabud,  i have to sudo su?
[02:25] <serverduck> lullabud,  it sais permission denied
[02:25] <lullabud> serverduck: not sure.  try it without sudo, then with.
[02:25] <cell> gloom;repositories
[02:25] <cell> gloom;from the internet
[02:26] <Losha> qayos: agreed, I see ntfs on /dev/sda1 (is that a windows install?) and ext3 on /dev/sda2, 5 and 6.
[02:26] <gloom> cell hahahha. ok. So you are using apt-get?
[02:26] <serverduck> lullabud,  with no sudo su...doesn't work...with sudo su...i get some funny looking fonts.
[02:26] <cell> gloom;yes

[02:27] <Blackcamaro8> In the process of a wubi install, the EXE from the disc is claiming "No Permission" to install the last step. The LOG claims to have to download an ISO.
[02:27] <serverduck> lullabud,  that's what i'm getting in the terminal.
[02:27] <Random832> is the "design capacity" in the power info for the battery a reliable statement about what the battery was actually intended by the manufacturer to hold when it was new?
[02:27] <sqwertle> Could anyone help explain how to do this process by copying the files to an iso before making a boot disk rather than using terminal? http://www.linwik.com/wiki/using+the+intel+arrandale+intel+graphics+media+accelerator+hd+with+ubuntu+9.10
[02:27] <qayos> Losha: yep... sda1 = WinXP... sda2=9.10 (/)... sda3=swap... sda5=(/home for both 9.10 and 8.04)... sda6=failed 8.04 (/) install
[02:27] <lullabud> serverduck: lame... looks like there might be some info logged into the syslog with that option too.  fyi, i'm getting this all from here: http://linux.die.net/man/8/pppd
[02:27] <Losha> qayos: because your 8.04 is in an unknown state, I think you'd better boot 9.10 and do a grub recovery from there....
[02:27] <gloom> cell, ok. I guess there will be a reason why you can't use synaptic. Do you have X?
[02:27] <Random832> because this says 349 mAh
[02:27] <cell> gloom;i am a beginner
[02:27] <Losha> qayos: because there's no guarantee your 8.04 is bootable if the install went wrong...
[02:27] <qayos> Losha: I don't need the 8.04 at all anymore, we can just delete it.
[02:28] <cell> gloom;i dont know if i have it
[02:28] <gloom> cell, np. Do you have graphical environment?
[02:28] <qayos> (turns out I need 9.04, but I'll handle that later ><)
[02:28] <stsfanatic> :)
[02:28] <gloom> cell, gnome? kde? xfce?
[02:28] <cell> gloom;gnome
[02:28] <Losha> qayos: just ignore it for now, nothing to be gained by going around deleting partitions at this point. You need to boot 9.10 live cd
[02:28] <serverduck> lullabud,  that's for the link
[02:28] <cell> gloom;and kde
[02:28] <gloom> cell, great. And have you tried to install the package from Synaptic?
[02:29] <Hathadar> Is it possible to modify /etc/sudoers to not require a specific user to use sudo for a specific command?
[02:29] <Losha> !grub2
[02:29] <cell> gloom;no
[02:29] <qayos> Losha: Don't currently have a 9.10 livecd, will burn one and come back (I have another computer).
[02:29] <cell> gloom;i use the command line always
[02:29] <nanomachine> how can ubuntu be installed from a usb drive
[02:29] <ppaulhus> hey. just used xrandr to add a custom resolution of 1366x768 to my display... but for some reason the modeline that it returns actually says 1368x768. Is that normal?
[02:30] <Losha> qayos: ok, in case I'm not here, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD
[02:30] <qayos> Losha: ok, thanks :)
[02:30] <Losha> qayos: best of luck :-)
[02:30] <masu3701> how can i save a channel under freenode in xchat
[02:30] <earthen> nanomachine, you mean you have it installed on a usb drive and you want to use that to install to another computer?
[02:30] <lullabud> serverduck: do you know what kind of server you're connecting to?  is this your home ISP, a school, or what?
[02:31] <lullabud> masu3701: that would be a good question for #xchat
[02:31] <serverduck> lullabud,  I connect through a lan cable to my home Isp
[02:31] <desnaike> gloom clamav is command line app u need the clamtk frontend if u need a gui
[02:32] <lullabud> serverduck: ok, so it's probable that this isn't a server config problem.  that's good to know.
[02:32] <Losha> masu3701: I've never tried it, but Window->Save text. You do know this channel is archived at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010 ?
[02:32] <gloom> desnaike, cell, yeah, I was just installing it and there's no gui by default
[02:32] <gloom> cell, that's why you can't see it in the program list
[02:33] <nanomachine> earthen, correct
[02:33] <cell> gloom;so wat do we do now ???
[02:33] <serverduck> lullabud,  the connection worked fine before...let's say 1 week..
[02:33] <nanomachine> !usb install
[02:33] <gloom> install the package camtk, which is a gtk GUI for the command line clamav
[02:33] <masu3701> Losha: thats cool...i didnt know that
[02:33] <lullabud> serverduck: honestly, that *could* be a server side problem...
[02:33] <Ngoc_tiensinh> 2222222
[02:33] <cell> gloom,how do i get the gui???
[02:33] <Ngoc_tiensinh> hello
[02:33] <Ngoc_tiensinh> i from vietnamese
[02:33] <serverduck> lullabud, how could that be if i run a machine windows on the same line?and internet works there?
[02:34] <Losha> !vn
[02:34] <lullabud> serverduck: that's good information to know too.
[02:34] <gloom> cell, sorry, clamtk
[02:34] <dante123> I think someone is piggy backing on my network, how can I check to see the ip addresses of all of the computers on my network
[02:34] <lullabud> serverduck: it's still possible, but not probable.  if you're not using the same software you will not get the same results.  just look at web standards.
[02:35] <lullabud> serverduck: it does seem like a client thing... i just don't know what.
[02:35] <Losha> dante123: it's wireless, presumably?
[02:35] <cell> gloom,should i try clamtk???
[02:35] <gloom> lullabud, you killed me with that answer. Can you elaborate, please?
[02:35] <desnaike> dante123 try etherape
[02:35] <serverduck> lullabud,  i think the problem is with ubuntu for shure.
[02:35] <lullabud> cell: do you always type three question marks???   Clamtk is a front-end for the clamav . As desnaike told you clamav is just a command line app
[02:36] <lullabud> lol
[02:36] <Slyboots> when its trying to unpack and install linux-server (kernel) it fails..
[02:36] <lullabud> Losha: Nothing!!! I guess???
[02:36] <serverduck> lullabud, if in windows i get 5 days uptime no disconnects,when my ubuntu machine is getting disconnects the win one is working perfect...can downoald can browse
[02:36] <cell> gloom.ok
[02:36] <dante123> yes, wireless.  I see a computer on my network that is not mine....I can put encryption back on....but not tonight.  In meantime want to see who it is
[02:36] <cell> gloom.i try it now
[02:36] <SirLinux> Hello :Pp
[02:36] <serverduck> lullabud, in windows i get no disconnects only when i turn on my pc:P
[02:36] <Losha> lullabud: :-) :-) :-). It does make one sound a bit like Karen Walker...
[02:36] <ngocmaster06sk_> hello all friend
[02:37] <dante123> okay will try etherape /des
[02:37] <lixujia> \ping
[02:37] <lullabud> serverduck: i'm just saying that things will work differently between windows and linux, differently on both sides.  don't worry about it, it's probably not a server side thing...

[02:38] <serverduck> lullabud,  i know linux !=windows...
[02:38] <Slyboots> Quite a few errors..
[02:39] <serverduck> lullabud,  but i'm surprised how I can't fix this issue yet? i;m the only person using pppoe in ubuntu in the world?>:)
[02:39] <Slyboots> "mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULESmost
[02:39] <lullabud> serverduck: well, i'm sorry i can't be more helpful with your pppoe troubleshooting.  it's been like 5+ years since i've had to deal with that
[02:39] <Slyboots> "Failed to create initrd image"
[02:39] <serverduck> lullabud,  don't have to be sorry
[02:39] <lullabud> serverduck: haha, you never know!  pppoe is very uncommon.

[02:39] <dante123> downloaded etherape but it says no suitable devices found?
[02:39] <serverduck> lullabud, and thanks for everything
[02:39] <Slyboots> wtf does that mean o.O
[02:40] <Johnny1> My sound isn't working at all. I currently have esound installed, ubuntu 9.10 won't play any sound, except whenever I shutdown the computer, it makes this beep sound. Please help me!
[02:40] <cell> gloom,so wat about the libyahoo2-10 package
[02:40] <lullabud> serverduck: i gotta scoot, good luck
[02:40] <serverduck> PiousMinion, and what you'll really cal linux, slackware?
 etherape says no suitable devices
[02:40] <sixofour> what is a good skype appn for linux?
[02:40] <serverduck> lullabud, you too! :)
[02:40] <gloom> cell, do you have GUI already?
[02:40] <Ganymede> sixofour, skype itself is available for linux
[02:40] <sixofour> oh?..thanks
[02:40] <Losha> sixofour: er, skype....
[02:40] <cell> gloom,no
[02:40] <Ganymede> sixofour, and i don't think there are any alternatives because skype is a closed protocol
[02:40] <PiousMinion> serverduck: I dislike slackware for different reasons.
[02:41] <Slyboots> So.. um.. right
[02:41] <sixofour> linux has some tools for making skype applications
[02:41] <sixofour> so i guessed there was an open variant
[02:41] <Slyboots> mkinitramfs: missing md root /dev/mapper/Root-Root ys entry

[02:41] <desnaike> danta123 under capture in tyhe menu choose ur wireless device
[02:42] <Losha> serverduck: yes, but it's a long, slow, hard uphill climb....
[02:42] <gloom> cell, :D ok, one thing at a time. Have you installed clamtk right? If you can't see any icon in the applications list, try running clamtk from a terminal
[02:42] <PiousMinion> serverduck: I said I dislike slackware, I didn't say I didn't know it.  After all, yo uhave to know something well to really know you don't like it. :P
[02:42] <serverduck> PiousMinion, true!
[02:43] <Losha> Slyboots: either your install CD is faulty, or your raid is faulty. Pray it's the former. Did it pass the self test?
[02:43] <Slyboots> Its a Net install
[02:43] <desnaike> dante123 did u start etherape from terminal using sudo
[02:44] <Losha> Slyboots: bad news. You need expert raid help. Beyond me, I'm afraid...
[02:44] <Slyboots> I just created the array

[02:45] <cell> gloom,i have done the clamtk

[02:45] <cell> gloom,i have the virus scanner now
[02:45] <gloom> cell, good
[02:45] <gurugeek> Losha: thanks
[02:46] <cell> gloom,so can we now go on to the GUI
[02:46] <Slyboots> I cant even run any commands
[02:46] <Slyboots> Since I dont seem to be inside the linux "system" just the install enviroment
[02:46] <gloom> cell, now about the libyahoo, that's not an app. That's just a library. Packages that contain libraries just install the library in its place, but you won't see any program icon for it.
[02:47] <gloom> cell, you just told me that you have the GUI?!?! or not?
[02:47] <gloom> :D
[02:47] <Slyboots> Ahd mdstat shows the 3 raid arrays are fine
[02:47] <Losha> Slyboots: luckily you've lost no data if you've just made the array.
[02:48] <gloom> cell, what do you see when you run clamtk from the command line? Do you see a window?
[02:48] <desnaike> cell it's under applications/accessories/virus scanner
[02:49] <Losha> Slyboots: sorry, but I wouldn't run 9.10 on a mission critical server. It's just not mature enough...
[02:49] <Slyboots> Yea, it wont even install
[02:49] <moszer> hello everyone, can anyone help me configuring pcsx please
[02:49] <cell> gloom,yes i see it at applications/system tools/virus scanner
[02:49] <gloom> cell, that's the GUI!
[02:49] <gloom> cell, problem solved!
[02:50] <cell> gloom,so wat about the libyahoo
[02:50] <moszer> anyone familiar with pcsx?
[02:51] <Slyboots> Well to be honest I dont really fancy downloading another 700mb and wasting 3 hours only for that to perhaps go "oh yea somethigs not right, *splat*"
[02:51] <gloom> cell, now about the libyahoo, that's not an app. That's just a library. Packages that contain libraries just install the library in its place, but you won't see any program icon for it.
[02:51] <cell> gloom,try and see if you can get the right package on yahoo messenger from sudo apt-cache search messenger
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> moszer:  if you mean the playstatnion emulator.. yes ive had it working.. but that was about 5 mo ago.
[02:51] <gloom> cell, man, would you please fire the synaptic and try from there?
[02:51] <gloom> cell the pacage search function is much better
[02:52] <moszer> Dr, did you tried it before?
[02:52] <Losha> moszer: see also the fora at http://forums.ngemu.com/
[02:52] <cell> gloom,how i do know the right pack from the library stuff tell me the difference pls
[02:53] <moszer> Losha, are you using it?
[02:53] <desnaike> cell why are you installing libyahoo
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> moszer:  if you mean the playstatnion emulator.. yes ive had it working.. about 5 mo ago. and ive used it on  and off for years
[02:53] <Losha> moszer: no, just googled it for you
[02:53] <gloom> cell, well for starters, libyahoo package says:"Yahoo messenger protocol C library" in the package description!!!!!! That's pretty clear to me
[02:55] <Losha> Slyboots: I don't know of an OS where that's *guaranteed* not to happen. Even w*dows users have install problems...
[02:55] <cell> gloom,which one should i install so i get the yahoo messenger on my pc???
[02:55] <gloom> cell, now I can't see any package specific for yahoo messenger. But other generic messengers like pidgin or kopete should support yahoo messenger connections
[02:55] <cell> gloom,which pack
[02:55] <Slyboots> Key seems to be this.. mkintframfs: missing md root /dev/mapper/Root-Root (something?) ys entry
[02:55] <moszer> Thanks Losha, Dr_Willis, then i need your guide, i'm trying to find the BIOS for it,ive tried google it, seems that i cant find it, if its ok with you, i would like you to teach me a 'stepbystep' procedure..
[02:56] <qayos> Slyboots: don't delete the file you downloaded until you successfully install, and do an md5sum on it before you try to burn it
[02:56] <gloom> cell, isntall the package pidgin. This will support yahoo connections
[02:56] <cell> gloom,i need yahoo messenger specifically
[02:56] <Slyboots> mkinitfs woarkaround is MODULES=most
[02:56] <cell> gloom,thats why
[02:56] <moszer> *im a newbies
[02:56] <Slyboots> mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug
[02:56] <desnaike> cell pidgen with gnome gui is great and uses libyahoo.so
[02:56] <gloom> cell, install pidgin
[02:57] <Losha> Slyboots: less chance of that happening with 8.04, but no guarantees. You could always ask for your money back...
[02:57] <blakkheim> or use finch, better than pidgin in my opinion
[02:57]  * Slyboots rolls his eyes.. YEa
[02:57] <faron> u still there lullabud ? just in case you ever run across that question again [or anybody else] do this...in a terminal "killall -u [username] screensaver preview"...the terminal said "no process killed" BUT...IT LIED ! {ha ha}
[02:57] <Slyboots> Just annoyed, waste of time.
[02:57] <Losha> Slyboots: understood...
[02:58] <Slyboots> I dont see much point trying a older version if this "bug" is going to exist
[02:58] <owner> How do I compile a debian file from source code?
[02:58] <serverducky> what is the command to see what wireless card i have>
[02:58] <blakkheim> owner: checkinstall
[02:58] <blakkheim> serverducky: lspci
[02:58] <serverducky> blakkheim, thanks
[02:59] <chili555> serverducky, lspci if its internal and lsusb -v if its a dongle
[02:59] <owner> blakkheim so I go into the directory of the source code and type checkinstall?
[02:59] <moszer> Dr, please
[02:59] <blakkheim> owner: you "make" it like normal, but then run sudo checkinstall instead of sudo make install
[02:59] <serverducky> chili555, :)
[02:59] <cell> gloom,do you have any interesting program i can use on my ubuntu???
[02:59] <owner> ah I'll try that right now
[03:00] <gloom> cell, just browse the repositories, or google it. there are thousands man.
[03:00] <Losha> Slyboots: the point about 8.04, which is a long term support release, is that it's all bugfixes and no new features. It's your best bet for stability. But no guarantees, sorry...
[03:00] <Slyboots> Bugger.
[03:00] <Slyboots> well sod it Im going to bed
[03:00] <chili555> serverducky, do you need help with it?
[03:00] <cell> gloom,ok thanks
[03:01] <gloom> cell, np
[03:01] <serverducky> chili555, my ubuntu has detected it..i hope it works
[03:01] <Losha> Slyboots: start an 8.04 download before you go...
[03:01] <Slyboots> Could have been playing Battlefield 2..
[03:02] <syam_> can any body help me..
[03:02] <syam_> i have problem with mailman...
[03:02] <syam_> i want mailman integrate with virtual user postfix
[03:03] <owner> what do you change the architecture to from i386 to get it to install on 64 bit or is there a way to make it install on any system.
[03:03] <gloom> gonna ask again:( IS there any way of restart the X server programatically from a X application?
[03:03] <owner> The code does work on any system
[03:04] <owner> @ blakkehim
[03:04] <Losha> syam_: I know nothing about mailman. Have you tried the searchable mailing list archive at http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ ?
[03:04] <serverduck> Is it normal when i installed my wireless card, that my ubuntu freezes>?
[03:04] <serverduck> I had to manually restart it from the button.
[03:04] <owner> I mean @ blakkheim
[03:04] <chili555> serverduck, hardly
[03:04] <brandon420> who in here knows how to use ssh?
[03:04] <Slyboots> Wow, and its logged
[03:04] <Slyboots> ... A year ago
[03:05] <serverduck> chili555, the driver works fine but it freazed after installing
[03:05] <Slyboots> and hasnt been looked at :P
[03:05] <serverduck> chili555, strange...
[03:05] <Slyboots> So, yea a older version is not going to work
[03:05] <syam_> Losha_: thanks.. i will try
[03:05] <chili555> serverduck, maybe there is a driver conflict. what driver is it?
[03:05] <Losha> Slyboots: sorry. What are you gonna do next?
[03:05] <Slyboots> Mm..
[03:05] <Slyboots> Dont know, cry a bit
[03:05] <Slyboots> Waste another 3-4 hours
[03:05] <Losha> !ask | brand0n
[03:06] <Slyboots> Go to bed :P
[03:06] <serverduck> chili555, well i had to wireless drivers there...installed the 2nd one and the first one was a firmware tool extracter or something like that...
[03:06] <Error404NotFound> i am trying to configure psad with shorewall. Psad does detect port scans but when i do a iptables -nvL and grep any port-scanner's IP, i don't see anything.
[03:06] <Losha> Slyboots: try a different distro?
[03:06] <Slyboots> Debian I suppose
[03:06] <serverduck> chili555, for brodcom...maybe that's why
[03:06] <chili555> serverduck, a broadcom, i expect
[03:06] <Slyboots> Dont really like it as much as ubuntu :P
[03:06] <ddrj> hey
[03:07] <serverduck> chili555, when i click now  hardware drivers that firmware extractor doesn't show
[03:07] <ddrj> can i install ubuntu 9.10 desktop from a usb drive?
[03:07] <serverduck> chili555, but the driver works fine.
[03:07] <jolaren> Does anyone know of a dvb-t card with cam module that works via kernel in ubutnu?
[03:07] <ddrj> downloaded this ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso and i was wondering if i can extract to usb drive and install the OS from there
[03:07] <chili555> serverduck, did you try and fail something else first? ndiswrapper, maybe?
[03:07] <serverduck> chili555, maybe that's why...no
[03:07] <Slyboots> Screw it, Im off to bed
[03:07] <shankerjs> anyone know how to flash the Samsung Moment? i just got it 2 days ago.
[03:07] <Slyboots> Cheers Losha
[03:07] <Losha> Slyboots: cheers...
[03:08] <owner> blakkheim can you please tell me if you will in the control file in the source code it says that the Architecture is i386 but I know it will install on anything 32 or 64 bit. what do I change that to please?
[03:08] <chili555> serverduck, i dont understand. it works fine or it freezes??
[03:08] <serverduck> chili555, it works fine...:)
[03:08] <TxPitou> evening to all
[03:08] <maco> owner: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Architecture
[03:09] <ajnewbold> anyone know how I can launch something from the terminal that lets me view/select available wifi connections?
[03:09] <serverduck> chili555, but after installing it there was another broadcom thing there in hardware drivers
[03:09] <chili555> serverduck, great! welcome to the Ubuntu party!
[03:09] <ajnewbold> I deleted my panel and I'm kind of stuck heh
[03:09] <serverduck> chili555,  and i thought if ubuntu points me to that let's install that too
[03:09] <owner> thanks
[03:09] <serverduck> chili555, tried to do that and it freezed
[03:09] <serverduck> chili555, restarted and it wasn't there anymore
[03:10] <chili555> serverduck, there are two ways to get some wireless cards going and it wont want both
[03:10] <serverduck> chili555, i read something about firmware extractor tool
[03:10] <gloom> ajnewbold, iwlist wlan0 scan       replace wlan0 for your wlan decive
[03:10] <ajnewbold> gloom: thanks!
[03:10] <serverduck> chili555, who knows what was it:P
[03:10] <serverduck> chili555, i have another problem with my pppoe
[03:11] <chili555> serverduck, yes broadcoms want firmware. if its working well then you have all you need
[03:11] <serverduck> chili555, that's the only thing i need to solve
[03:11] <chili555> serverduck, i know little about pppoe, but lets try
[03:11] <serverduck> chili555, can i pm you?
[03:11] <serverduck> chili555,  i found a link with the same problem
[03:11] <chili555> serverduck, sure nuff
[03:12] <Losha> syam_ just offered me syam.png (383 bytes). He's compromised, right?
[03:12] <gloom> ajnewbold, if you have gnome, you can try nm-applet, and nm-connection-editor for a more fiendly GUI
[03:12] <rww> serverduck: For broadcom wifi, you need a driver component (sometimes bcmwl-kernel-source) and the firmware (installed during b43-fwcutter setup)
[03:13] <ddrj> got a q.. if i wanna install ubuntu from a usb drive, can i just extract the contents of ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso onto the usb drive and install from there?
[03:13] <ddrj> thanks in advance
[03:13] <rww> ddrj: What operating system are you using right now?  You need to run a tool to prepare the USB stick, I need to know what you have available to run that tool :)
[03:14] <Fidoxd> Hi!
[03:14] <ddrj> ohhhh yes, windows :D
[03:14] <ajnewbold> gloom: nm-connection-editor comes up but nm-applet doesn't seem to want to launch unfortunately
[03:14] <ddrj> vista ;\\
[03:14] <ajnewbold> gloom: but I think I can muddle my way with the other commands you suggested, thanks :D
[03:14] <rww> ddrj: download unetbootin from http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ , run it as an administrator (right-click on the program and click the relevant option), point it at your USB stick and the ISO you downloaded).
[03:14] <ddrj> awesomeeeeee thanks :D
[03:16] <serverduck> Can someone please tell me why I get pppoe disconnects...in ubuntu and the same connection in ubuntu works like a charm?
[03:17] <serverduck> I made a topic on the beginners section but no answers no on knows...what should i do?
[03:17] <panopticon> serverduck, you can try to explain your problem again?
[03:18] <Losha> serverduck: presumably a pppoe client bug in ubuntu. Try googling to see if there's a workaround....
[03:18] <valley76> is it possibable to blow the read/write head on a cdrw/dvd+rw?
[03:19] <rww> funkyGit: bzr is better

[03:19] <nwidger> i just followed the directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#From%20Mac to create a bootable usb stick, but when i run 'hdiutil info /dev/disk1', the partition is shown as being not bootable.  shouldnt it be listed as being bootable or am missing something?
[03:20] <Losha> valley76: It's very high precision electronics, with very find tolerances for moving parts. You only get so many reads/writes before they fail. Some brands fail sooner than others. Does it report errors?
[03:20] <nwidger> here's the output from hdiutil: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/V3fpWW2T
[03:20] <valley76> Losha:right now it wont even mount
[03:21] <Losha> valley76: do you have a known good disk you can try in it? Also, power-cycle it to see if that helps...
[03:22] <rww> nwidger: I don't think it matters. Try it and find out :\
[03:22] <valley76> i have tried both nothing works
[03:22] <nwidger> rww: i did and it didnt work :\
[03:23] <thiagoBR> hey there guys
[03:23] <mikelifeguard> Is there a file I can add a bash alias to so it will be available for all users?
[03:23] <faron> WHAT [Or,how do I find out] do those  little icons represent that are found on the upper left hand corner of my windows ? One,for instance,is a tiny Firefox icon.Next to it,is what appears to be a very small circle within a very small square.I know it's a button of some sort.But,I have forgotten what it does.
[03:24] <Losha> mikelifeguard: usually /etc/bashrc is read by everyone who runs bash...
[03:24] <mikelifeguard> Losha: thanks
[03:24] <Losha> valley76: sounds like it's crocked then, sorry....
[03:25] <valley76> ok thank gonna upgrade soon anyway
[03:27] <kaell> Losha, I'm back up running on my 9.10 install, thanks for the help.
[03:27] <qayos> <-- me
[03:28] <puser> /open 1
[03:28] <Losha> qayos: glad to hear it. You can install 9.04 over the failed 8.04 install by choosing manual partition during install. Best of luck...
[03:29] <Tdubell> anyone know where a good list of commands for the terminal are?
[03:29] <wunjo> whats a good funny app in terminal like "joke of the day" type program
[03:29] <wunjo> I dont even know what to call these
[03:29] <Pici> wunjo: fortune ?
[03:29] <wunjo> Guess bashes
[03:29] <wunjo> sure
[03:29] <Losha> wunjo: bashes. That's funny...
[03:30] <wunjo> lol
[03:30] <ajnewbold> if there's an unused top-level item in the Main Menu, how can I nuke it?  it shows up in italics in the Main Menu app and I just want it to go away
[03:30] <Cryptorchild> does anyone know how to have higher res for terminal login?
[03:30] <ajnewbold> (the item in question is Wine, btw, and I thought it would vanish when I uninstalled wine but it's still hanging out there)
[03:30] <knoppies> Tdubell, I have a personal list of the ones I use often enough to need at my finger tips, but not often enough to remember them. I know of a desktop wallpaper with many on them. other than that I can tell you how to list commands in a few various ways on the terminal
[03:31] <L00pB4ck> hi everyone
[03:31] <L00pB4ck> i have a problem with my theme
[03:31] <17SAAKYQU> Anyone know a fix for the huge size of windows and such in Ubuntu? E.g. in Windows, my Chrome menu bar is small. In Linux, its huge.
[03:31] <cwek> hay
[03:31] <L00pB4ck> at logon my theme is not applied
[03:32] <ajnewbold> 17SAAKYQU: open the Appearance app, Fonts tab, and you can reduce the font sizes for application menus there
[03:32] <ajnewbold> 17SAAKYQU: I found that bumping all font sizes there down to 9 worked very nicely
[03:32] <L00pB4ck> when i launch "apperance" it is applied but only partially
[03:32] <cwek> aloww
[03:32] <knoppies> L00pB4ck, So we not talking about your GDM theme?
[03:32] <17SAAKYQU> ajnewbold, thanks. BAH I can't change my username.. /nick isn't working
[03:32] <knoppies> Tdubell, you there?
[03:33] <L00pB4ck> knoppies, no gtk
[03:33] <17SAAKYQU> ajnewbold, when you go to "Details" what DPI are you using?
[03:33] <knoppies> L00pB4ck, Im going to assume you actually have the files to the theme (ie, icons, mouse pointers, etc)
[03:34] <L00pB4ck> knoppies, yes everything was working fine before
[03:34] <git__> anyone know why the word Ubuntu is not in Mark Cuban's wikipedia?
[03:34] <zhig-> on the 9.10 installer, isn't there some option for a text install or am I just missing it?
[03:34] <git__> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Cuban
[03:34] <knoppies> L00pB4ck, I cant think of anything that would cause that.
[03:34] <owner> how do you force a debian package to install regardless of errors?
[03:34] <knoppies> Tdubell, you still there?
[03:35] <qayos> zhig-, I think you need the "alternate installer" disk, not sure though
[03:35] <L00pB4ck> knoppies, i think i'm missing something in my startup apps
[03:35] <17SAAKYQU> owner, what package installer are you using?
[03:35] <zhig-> qayos, damn... thanks
[03:35] <CaptainBland> Hello, all.  I'm speaking to you from the Live CD, where I'm trying to recover some files from my hard disk before a re-install.  But it's telling me I don't have permission to copy them.  Any ideas?
[03:36] <owner> dpkg
[03:36] <knoppies> L00pB4ck, maybe, Im not sure what is associated with gtk themes. You tried looking at the ubuntu forums?
[03:36] <L00pB4ck> knoppies, i'll go there thx
[03:37] <owner> Or is there a command to take an existing .deb file and recompile it for your system?
[03:37] <saylar> git__, why should it be there?
[03:37] <Tdubell> knoppies: yeah i'm back
[03:37] <17SAAKYQU> owner, try `man dpkg` or `dpkg --force-help [package name]`
[03:38] <pinkpanther> hi
[03:38] <17SAAKYQU> owner, when reading through the man file, it looks like you can force different things. Its a matter of finding the right --force (--force-install maybe)
[03:38] <knoppies> Tdubell, I have a personal list of the ones I use often enough to need at my finger tips, but not often enough to remember them. I know of a desktop wallpaper with many on them. other than that I can tell you how to list commands in a few various ways on the terminal, want me to pastebin one (or more)?
[03:38] <owner> Will try
[03:38] <pinkpanther> does everyone in here use ubuntu or...
[03:38] <git__> saylar, didn't cuban started this whole ubuntu movement?
[03:38] <knoppies> pinkpanther, not everyone, but the majority.
[03:38] <pinkpanther> cool
[03:39] <17SAAKYQU> owner, is this what you're looking for? "--force-bad-verify" : bad-verify: Install a package even if it fails authentic‐
[03:39] <17SAAKYQU>               ity check.
[03:39] <pinkpanther> anyone from Great Britain?
[03:39] <owner> no
[03:39] <saylar> git__, nope ;)
[03:39] <Pici> !sabdfl | git__
[03:39] <saylar> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Shuttleworth
[03:39] <Tdubell> knoppies: its okay, i just want to learn how to navigate ubuntu through terminal, like i navigate windows through cmd prompt
[03:39] <17SAAKYQU> owner, you can always just do a "--force-all" and see if that works
[03:39] <Pici> pinkpanther: Have you tried #ubuntu-uk ?
[03:40] <Tdubell> i could probably find the commands if i looked :p
[03:40] <git__> ohs Canonical
[03:40] <owner> I7SAAKYQU I have some custom source code I wrote and compiled into a 32 bit .deb package.  I assume it compiles by command-line w/o the .deb file
[03:41] <njbair> just got a new processor. Does ubuntu support quad-core out of the box?
[03:41] <Pici> njbair: yes.
[03:41] <owner> 17SAAKYQU correct. I found a how to page that worked for me the first time but I can't find it again.
[03:42] <owner> 17SAAKYQU maybe if I could send someone the source code they could figure it out.
[03:42] <17SAAKYQU> owner, ahh i see. I can't really help ya much more than that.. :( sorry
[03:42] <njbair> So I don't need a custom kernel or anything?
[03:42] <17SAAKYQU> owner, Also I'm on a 32-bit only laptop right now :'(
[03:42] <RxDx> is there any download manager, like downthemall on firefox, to google chrome?
[03:43] <pinkpanther> how long does it take to install slackware in vbox :|
[03:43] <pinkpanther> shuda give it more ram :|
[03:45] <pinkpanther> someone should make a new distro based on ubuntu for people new to linux and call it noobuntu :D
[03:46] <xorwhy> pinkpanther: They called it linux mint, I like the name
[03:47] <pinkpanther> meyaw
[03:48] <brandon420> anyone know ALOT about networks and ssh, and vnc?
[03:48] <xorwhy> I need to downgrade my wireless-N driver ath9k to the previous ath9k that supports only G/B/A
[03:49] <Meshach> Hey guys!
[03:49] <Dougdoug4> Hello. I have a problem. I want to install Ubuntu and get rid of Windows, the problem is that all my music and video(s) are stored on Windows, and I don't have an external HDD or other  computer to temporarily store the music on.
[03:49] <Meshach> @Dougdoug4, buy a usb stick, they are really really cheap. :)
[03:50] <pinkpanther> i could give you temp access to an unlimited FTP server but the servers down
[03:50] <xorwhy> Dougdoug4: First you make a partition for the music. Then you put the music on that partition.  Correct?
[03:50] <clickme> hi everyone
[03:50] <hexdump_> xorwhy:  nope you can uninstall it just as you would a windows program
[03:50] <Meshach> Oh, my bad.
[03:50] <pinkpanther> id backup first
[03:50] <void_pointer> Hi pappies. Has anyone here installed ubuntu 9.10 on a hard drive already containing Windows 7? If so, does grub-2 detect the Windows install? I have read conflicting reports on the 'net. I know that 9.04 detected it and added it to the bootloader entries as I've done it.
[03:51] <Dougdoug4> So, what should I do, brodawgs?
[03:51] <pinkpanther> always backup
[03:51] <hsunda3> I am using a Ubuntu box as a router .. anyone have a good, easy application that allows me to generate IPtables configurations easily?
[03:51] <Dougdoug4> I like xorwhy's idea
[03:51] <hexdump_> and it's exactly the same thing as ubuntu.  I didn't use WUBI I manually configured the partitions but I have used it before and it works.
[03:51] <xorwhy> hexdump_: That's what I said, to the one who suggested WUBI to the one who wanted no windows at all to remain.
[03:51] <Dougdoug4> xorwhy: How would I create a partition on Windows?
[03:51] <hexdump_> oh lol
[03:51] <void_pointer> hsunda3, probably, but you won't like my idea. Learn iptables.  I just want to make sure I am doing it right. I guess I could use some netcat or tcpdump or something to see if my packet forwarding rules are right,huh?
[03:52] <pinkpanther> wah
[03:52] <hexdump_> I think I missed that small detail
[03:52] <pinkpanther> who called me stupid?
[03:52] <knoppies> Dougdoug4, I agree with using the liveCD, but you can create a partition using your windows install CD.
[03:53] <void_pointer> hsunda3, or if you have access to a remote machine you can use, even better. i test my rules from a remote box. Just remember to log anything you want to see (like stuff you are denying)
[03:53] <knoppies> pinkpanther, he said that what you suggested would be a bad idea, not that your stupid.
[03:53] <Tdubell> Dougdoug4: use virtualbox, that's what i'm doing
[03:53] <Dougdoug4> Ok, so how do I create a partition?
[03:53] <Cryptorchild> does anyone know how to have higher resolution for terminal login?
[03:53] <xorwhy> Seems all the regulars that "hold things together" aren't here right now.
[03:53] <hsunda3> void_pointer: yeah I guess I should do that :)
[03:53] <pinkpanther> why would it be bad
[03:53] <Dougdoug4> xorwhy: Can you PM me? This channel is getting spammy.
[03:54] <xorwhy> Dougdoug4: OK
[03:54] <pinkpanther> if you boot from the disc your morelikey to damage the win install
[03:54] <emsilva> Dougdoug4: Better yet, install ubuntu without deleting the windows partition. In ubuntu, copy all your stuff over to the ubuntu partition then format the windows partition to get the space back.
[03:54] <Dougdoug4> emsilva: could I really do that?
[03:54] <pinkpanther> well i id that once and it somehow deleted a few DLLs
[03:54] <hexdump_> if your stuff was FAT32 you wouldn't have a problem.  can't you create a seperate FAT32 parition copy over your music then install ubuntu
[03:54] <emsilva> Dougdoug4: yeah, I've done that myself.
[03:55] <hexdump_> ext4 can see FAT
[03:55] <hexdump_> I think
[03:55] <emsilva> can read NTFS as well just fine.
[03:55] <RxDx> is there any download manager, like downthemall on firefox, to google chrome?
[03:55] <pinkpanther> it can
[03:55] <Clete2> ok so I changed my font sizes... any clues on how t omake the Google Chrome border smaller?
[03:55] <hexdump_> well then there should be no problem
[03:55] <emsilva> yup
[03:55] <Clete2> and also any clue how to make Chrome listen to the system font sizes? Chrome fonts are still HUGE
[03:55] <pinkpanther> well i know it can see fat 32 but i duno about 12 or 16
[03:55] <hexdump_> just install ubuntu copy the music to your linux partiton and then wipe your NTFS
[03:56] <void_pointer> hsunda3, this is a good site to start from --> Linuxguruz.org
[03:56] <psusi> hexdump_, you mean Ubuntu can see fat, not ext4... doesn't make sense to say ext4 can see fat
[03:56] <pinkpanther> get a seagate 2TB
[03:56] <pinkpanther> ^ ^
[03:56] <LoopBack> after an update a couple of weeks ago i started having a serious problem on my laptop.at startup applications don't run and custom themes are not applied
[03:56] <jiohdi> does it make sense to say ubuntu can SEE
[03:56] <hexdump_> psusi:  if you know already why did you ask
[03:56] <hsunda3> void_pointer: cool thanks will check it out
[03:57] <hexdump_> I'm sure we both know what we mean my bad
[03:57] <void_pointer> hsunda3, and here is a nice example to start out from --> http://www.sns.ias.edu/~jns/files/iptables_ruleset
[03:57] <pinkpanther> aint u got an mp3 player with ya music on?
[03:58] <tm0> Hello i recently installed Conky. I have searched, but i cannot find the location of the conkyrc file.
[03:58] <hsunda3> void_pointer: cool man .. yeah there are plenty of them on Google thanks
[03:58] <void_pointer> hsunda3, you will learn a lot about networking etc. by learning how to configure iptables manually. It is well worth it.
[03:58] <Dougdoug4> Ok question: I heard that if I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, that once I decide I don't want Ubuntu anymore, if I delete it, I won't be able to use Windows again because of GRUB?
[03:58] <void_pointer> hsunda3, yeah, but I didn't write all those others ones ;)
[03:59] <void_pointer> Hi pappies. Has anyone here installed ubuntu 9.10 on a hard drive already containing Windows 7? If so, does grub-2 detect the Windows install? I have read conflicting reports on the 'net. I know that 9.04 detected it and added it to the bootloader entries as I've done it.
[03:59] <hsunda3> void_pointer: whoa nice
[03:59] <pinkpanther> iv had conflicts with xp n vista
[03:59] <jiohdi> tm0 you are trying to change conky?
[03:59] <Dougdoug4> Ok question: I heard that if I dual boot Windows and Ubuntu, that once I decide I don't want Ubuntu anymore, if I delete it, I won't be able to use Windows again because of GRUB?
[03:59] <hexdump_> Dougdoug4:  they install on seperate partitoins u shouldn't have a problem.
[03:59] <tm0> jiohdi yes, it has the flickering bug. I need to apply the fix
[03:59] <earthen> whats the command to remount all drives?
[04:00] <hexdump_> Dougdoug4:  I think many people suggested try WUBI.  IF you don't want to use ubuntu anymore just uninstall it in windows no problem.
[04:00] <Dougdoug4> hexdump_ when I install and load the partitioner
[04:00] <jiohdi> tm0: you just make a file like conky.config and then start conky with conky --configure=conky.config
[04:00] <Dougdoug4> It doesn't give me the option to dual boot
[04:00] <Dougdoug4> Only erase all or specific manually
[04:00] <serverduck> how do i scan for wireless networks in ubuntu like i used to do in windows?
[04:00] <hexdump_> Dougdoug4:  what are you suing Livecd to install ubuntu or WUBI?
[04:01] <jiohdi> tm0 you can copy someone elses conky file for the most part and then apply your own changes
[04:01] <pinkpanther> thats easy right click the network icon on the taskbar
[04:01] <serverduck> I could refresh and a bunch of networks appeared...
[04:01] <Dougdoug4> hexdump_: LiveCD
[04:01] <tm0> jiohdi are you sure? I was almost it is .conkyrc ?
[04:01] <pinkpanther> personaly i think usin wlan in ubuntu is 10 times easier than on windows
[04:01] <jiohdi> tm0 I have done a few conky configs in my linux time :)
[04:01] <LoopBack> after an update a couple of weeks ago i started having a serious problem on my laptop.at startup applications don't run and custom themes are not applied plz help
[04:01] <knoppies> !pastebin
[04:02] <void_pointer> serverduck, if you are using the default gnome desktop there is an icon up the top. Click it and you'll get the networks
[04:02] <void_pointer> serverduck, if you are feeling a bit more *nix, type "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" in a terminal
[04:02] <tm0> So where do i make the file hiodi? in my home?
[04:02] <CaptainBland> So, when the nVidia drivers are installed, it reboots or turns off as soon as it hits the desktop.  If I DON'T have them installed, it gives me 'out of range' messages.   I'm about to throw this computter from a very tall place.
[04:03] <jiohdi> tm0 you can make it anywhere you want, as long as you point to it correctly, but in your home/user directory would be best
[04:03] <serverduck> void_pointer, yes the default theme but i have 20 wireless networks and i can't add every single one...how to i scan and click to connect instead of setting each up in network manager?
[04:03] <pinkpanther> 20?
[04:03] <pinkpanther> wtf!
[04:03] <tm0> Thank you jiohdi
[04:03] <jiohdi> tm0 np
[04:04] <void_pointer> serverduck, what do you mean "add"? When you left click the icon all the available networks come up, just like in Windows. click one and then "connect"
[04:04] <pinkpanther> it depends how ur routers set up
[04:04] <pinkpanther> do you have broadcast on
[04:04] <clickme> how do i setup in ubuntu 9.10 the medie center usb remote
[04:04] <brandon420> anyone in here know about networks-ssh and vnc?
[04:04] <pinkpanther> or is it hidden
[04:05] <void_pointer> brandon420, just ask the question
[04:05] <knoppies> brandon420, I know a little, but probably not what your looking for. Ask anyway.
[04:05] <void_pointer> brandon420, if anyone knows the answer they'll tell you
[04:05] <xorwhy> brandon420: #remote-exploit
[04:05] <brandon420> exploit sounds about what i need
[04:05] <jiohdi> tm0: here is a sample you can use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/393771/
[04:06] <serverduck> void_pointer, when i click network manager i get>wired networks(device not managed-its with grey)..wireless networks(disconnected)vpn connections....connect to a hidden wireless network..create new wireless network.
[04:06] <xorwhy> brandon420: Be sure of what you need before you decide you need it, if you know what I mean
[04:06] <tm0> thank you again jiohdi
[04:06] <knoppies> serverduck, sounds like the device is managed by something else.
[04:06] <zzo38> How can I make a CD that can autorun and download this program from the internet:  http://wiki.freegeekvancouver.org/w/index.php?action=raw&ctype=text/css&title=Qc.sh
[04:06] <serverduck> void_pointer,  wired and wireless networks are with grey and not selectable
[04:06] <jiohdi> (^_^)
[04:06] <zzo38> Also tell me if there is a mistake in this program
[04:06] <pinkpanther> whats the terminal command for compizconfig?
[04:07] <xangua> pinkpanther: ccsm
[04:07] <serverduck> knoppies, and what is that?I can't figure out...I made my ppoe connection with sudo pppoe
[04:07] <xorwhy> )v-v(
[04:07] <serverduck> knoppies, could that mess up the wireless network too?
[04:07] <brandon420> xorwhy: lol, its not like that
[04:07] <tm0> jiohdi after appling the changes in gedit, i save and will they take affect right after?
[04:07] <xorwhy> brandon420: Haha great :)
[04:08] <knoppies> serverduck, Im not su clued up on networking, and Im not even sure I know what ppoe is, but if you set up a particular device in /etc/network/interfaces then that applet cannot manage the device.
[04:08] <brandon420> xorwhy: its really dead in there
[04:08] <jiohdi> tm0 it will take effect as soon as you run the command  conky --config= or is it --configure= and then the file name
[04:08] <void_pointer> serverduck, hmm I see. You should have a line in there that says "Available". Maybe you have a conflict with Network manager and something else. You could try wicd. Many people prefer it
[04:08] <tm0> okay thank you
[04:08] <pinkpanther> moo
[04:09] <zzo38> Can you help me my question, please?
[04:09] <xorwhy> brandon420: My experience with those utilities is pretty limited, I've used the protocols on a "do it" basis, rather than a true learning one.
[04:09] <clickme> anyone know how to set usb media remote
[04:09] <serverduck> void_pointer, how can i resolve the conflict?
[04:09] <pinkpanther> omg its the daleks! Exterminate....
[04:10] <brandon420> xorwhy: i jsut need know how to get a ssh on my old computer so i can start up vnc, i have all the info and open ports, but its not letting putty connect to it
[04:10] <void_pointer> serverduck, well, first try "sudo apt-get install wicd"
[04:10] <serverduck> void_pointer, ok
[04:10] <Max_> I dumped the contents of a hard disk into a file into another hard disk. For this, I used the dd command. How can I access the data contained in the backup file?
[04:11] <void_pointer> serverduck, then you'll get a different icon you can click on
[04:11] <tm0> jiohdi that didn't work very well. It came up with error.  Example - I click Places and the menu drops down on my desktop, but not my laptop. I can see everything fine on myd esktop, but laptop never displays anything whatsoever.
[04:11] <xorwhy> brandon420: you shouldn't need SSH to use VNC. Just install xvnc4viewer on the linux box, and vncserver on the windows one. Get the IP and port right on the connect and it should "just work"
[04:11] <jiohdi> tm0 it takes some tweaking
[04:11] <earthen> does anyone know why i can't mount my NTFS drives and have the icons show up on my desktop with the names i want instead of "56 gig media"
[04:12] <trism> Roasted: if you have compiz enabled on the machine you vnc into, it won't update properly
[04:12] <Roasted> trism, so if I disable compiz on my desktop, I should be okay?
[04:12] <xorwhy> Roasted: trism: Compiz does not render xvnc4viewer when the full screen option is selected.
[04:12] <trism> Roasted: yes
[04:12] <brandon420> xorwhy: this is from a ubuntu-ubuntu and i dont have access to the computer its like 6 hours away from me. i know it has vnc on it, and i know the info. it jsut hasnt beem logged into
[04:13] <Roasted> trism, well, that sucks, because I need compiz enabled for docky2 to run.
[04:13] <jiohdi> tm0: there are conky config files around if you google for them, some work, some dont depending on the system
[04:13] <tm0> jiohdi i will have to do that, thank you
[04:13] <void_pointer> Hi pappies. Has anyone here installed ubuntu 9.10 on a hard drive already containing Windows 7? If so, does grub-2 detect the Windows install? I have read conflicting reports on the 'net. I know that 9.04 detected it and added it to the bootloader entries as I've done it. <--- Answer: grub2 won't find Windows 7 without reinstalling grub on the linux partition. For me anyway.
[04:14] <jiohdi> tm0 conky was sort of designed for low power older machines with things like openbox and icewm
[04:14] <tm0> jiohdi, so not the gnome we have today then :p
[04:14] <jiohdi> tm0 that may be why you are getting so many errors
[04:14] <xorwhy> brandon420: All my experience with VNC has been LAN based, I never could get it to work over the internet. I still don't think you need SSH separately. And some ports are blocked by ISP without notifying the user, so maybe try an oddball one between 1024 and 2048.
[04:14] <void_pointer> tm0, er, many of us use openbox. Even today :)
[04:14] <jiohdi> tm0: I used that on a very  low power machine
[04:15] <Roasted> think Im out of luck then trism?
[04:15] <tm0> jiohdi i see
[04:15] <xorwhy> My friend told me his FIOS blocked port 25 lol.
[04:15] <tm0> void_pointer i used to use openbox, couldn't stand it...
[04:15] <void_pointer> well, I use openbox on a quad core based box
[04:15] <void_pointer> tm0, well it isn't really for noobs, this is true
[04:15] <void_pointer> tm0, or windows refugees
[04:15] <sekyourbox> what is that progra that shows you everything that starts up with ubuntu?
[04:15] <serverduck_> i installed wicd now it's working fine
[04:15] <brandon420> xorwhy: i scanned the ports, and i know the ones that i have forwarded
[04:15] <serverduck_> void_pointer, thanks so much
[04:16] <serverduck_> void_pointer, wicd is better than network manager. so geeky:)
[04:16] <void_pointer> serverduck excellent. I accept Visa, Mastercard and American Express ;)
[04:16] <brandon420> xorwhy:i guess ill keep googleing and checking back here for a guru
[04:16] <void_pointer> serverduck yeah, I use it too
[04:16] <xorwhy> brandon420: Your ISP takes dominance over your router when it comes to what ports are usable.
[04:16] <serverduck_> void_pointer, Ahh sir? do you accept beer?:)
[04:16] <xorwhy> brandon420: K, good luck.
[04:16] <tm0> void_pointer it wasn't that.  Tell you what, I'll buy myself one tonight and pretend it was from you
[04:17] <Roasted> Using Ubuntu, what program can I use to burn an ISO as an image to a flash drive? Keep in mind, I'm not trying to use Ubuntu as a bootable flash drive - I have another ISO I'd like to be able to boot (Ultimate Boot CD). Any ideas?
[04:17] <void_pointer> tm0, heh, yeah, some of us just want to get stuff done without eye candy. 90% of what I do involves the command line and terminals
[04:18] <sqwertle> !10.04
[04:18] <void_pointer> Roasted, www.pendrivelinux.com is a good place to start
[04:18] <tm0> viod_pointer i would love to turn into that one day, but i still rely on the gui far to much still. Hoping a server will change that a little
[04:19] <serverduck> void_pointer, hehee shure...:)
[04:19] <serverduck> void_pointer,  i will buy one too..in your name! :)
[04:19] <void_pointer> tm0, be careful what you wish for lol
[04:19] <trism> Roasted: there may be a workaround, but I don't use compiz anyway, so I haven't looked
[04:19] <tm0> void_pointer haha, i will :p[
[04:19] <hollenjf> does anyone use any VoIP services for their main house line?
[04:20] <Roasted> trism, it was just recommended to me to enable metacity compositing instead, which would allow docky to run and yet compiz would be turned off, therefore maybe solving my issue. Any idea how to enable metacity compositing?
[04:21] <jub369> I got some rar files i made that i forgot pass to what software can i use on linux to get it back
[04:21] <jiohdi> Roasted: unetbootin
[04:22] <void_pointer> Roasted, if you want something even simpler that unetbootin look at this page: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[04:23] <sena__> fgvdf
[04:25] <void_pointer> sena__, is that a question or an answer?
[04:25] <CountDown> How do I select the microphone on my headset as the preferred sound input source?  I'm running 9.10 on a Thinkpad T400s.  The audio input is an integrated 1/8" jack, meaning that earphones and microphone are all on one plug.
[04:26] <Tdubell> i have a kind of basic question, i turned off gnome when i was logging into ubuntu, is there anyway to put it back up?
[04:26] <trism> Roasted: using xcompmgr instead may work, seemed to work for someone else with awn
[04:27] <Tdubell> sorry, nvm i got it

[04:30] <wineman> anybody had problems with ubuntu taking a long time to boot up?
[04:30] <Tdubell> me, but thats running it on virtualbox
[04:30] <serverduck> wineman, what are your system specs?
[04:30] <void_pointer> wineman, 34 seconds here. That's with openbox though
[04:31] <wineman> system specs like 1gig ram 1.86 processor?
[04:31] <serverduck> wineman, yes
[04:32] <wineman> have like a 30 second pause after the white ubuntu symbol
[04:32] <void_pointer> wineman, even that should boot up within 1 minute 30 seconds
[04:32] <jiohdi> Tdubell: when you log in you have the option of which session to use... just chose gnome
[04:33] <zzo38> How can I make a CD autorun a bash script when inserted?
[04:33] <wineman> but at that i have to log on at a screen that says tty1 login

[04:43] <rdvonz> I bought a d-link dwa-125 and tried installin the RalinkTech drivers from the site here: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 But it seems like they mixed up the drivers! the rt3070 file is actually the rt2870! Does anyone know how I can fix this?
[04:43] <zzo38> But I also wanted to know if you think the script (of the URL I put) is correct or if you think there is a mistake, if there is a mistake I would like to fix it please
[04:44] <jiohdi> zzo38: when people know the answer they will give it... but sometimes we are all just noobs
[04:44] <knoppies> serverduck, is you start conky with the same command that was defined in startup applications, does it start up?
[04:45] <zzo38> jiohdi: OK. At first I asked at the actual location, I asked those people, but they didn't know, so now I went on IRC to ask these question. I guess I can't  get answered......
[04:45] <serverduck> knoppies, if i start from the terminal conky -c path...to config it works
[04:45] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  I agree it's impossible to know all the ins and outs of every program out there.
[04:45] <serverduck> knoppies, i defined the exact command plus path in the startup applications but it doesn't start every time:)
[04:45] <knoppies> serverduck, I assume its that same command that you put in startup applications.
[04:46] <jiohdi> hexdump_: especially when some of the manuals look like japanese stereo instructions
[04:46] <knoppies> serverduck, if it starts some times, and not others, then idk.
[04:46] <knoppies> serverduck, I manually start it every time I login.
[04:46] <serverduck> knoppies, it doesn't start...never
[04:46] <serverduck> knoppies, only manual it starts in the terminal
[04:46] <serverduck> knoppies, after login to the machine.
[04:47] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  Yeah, it's hard to determine what exactly one should be proicient at.
[04:47] <knoppies> serverduck, Im not sure. I would try play with the parameters, or maybe settings in startup applications, or look at ubuntu forums for a similar problem.
[04:47] <serverduck> knoppies, yes but would be nice to automatically start so no endless typing every restart
[04:47] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  I got my A+ cert years ago before I went to the military now I get out and so much has changed.  my cert is useless now.

[04:49] <jiohdi> hexdump_: I know just enough to be dangerous :)
[04:49] <void_pointer> serverduck, actually, I came back to IRC because of you highlighting my nick ... did you solve your conky problem?
[04:49] <serverduck> void_pointer,  not yet:(
[04:49] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  Yeah I think I know enough when in reality there are people out there that make me look dumb.
[04:50] <serverduck> void_pointer,  sorry ..didn't want to disturb you
[04:50] <void_pointer> serverduck, there are various ways to get things to run at boot up/ log in. you might have to put the conky line in all of them

[04:51] <jiohdi> hexdump_: I think one of my computers got installed about two dozen times in the last 6 months
[04:51] <knoppies> jiohdi, Im almost that bad.

[04:52] <serverduck> lol quad boot?:)
[04:52] <serverduck> hehehhee
[04:52] <void_pointer> serverduck, have you tried giving the full path for everything?
[04:52] <serverduck> void_pointer, yes gave full path for the conky config
[04:52] <hexdump_> serverduck:  yeah just messin around
[04:52] <void_pointer> serverduck, and for conky?
[04:53] <serverduck> void_pointer,  if i type in the terminal coky starts
[04:53] <serverduck> void_pointer,  oups no...i don't know how to do that.
[04:53] <serverduck> void_pointer, and were conky is installed.
[04:53] <hexdump_> wanted to see if I could actually get it working with grub, grub2.  seems something always gets screwed up.  luckily everything is working ok "for now"
[04:53] <void_pointer> serverduck, I can't remember if conky needs root to run, does it?
[04:53] <jiohdi> hexdump_: I have w7 and ubuntu on another machine with suse in virtual box
[04:53] <serverduck> void_pointer, nope..no root neded.
[04:54] <serverduck> void_pointer, needed*
[04:54] <jason_> just installed lucid
[04:54] <serverduck> void_pointer, where is conky installed
[04:54] <jason_> not able to turn on bluetooth nor get flash working?
[04:55] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  years ago I tried that winlinux.  ewwww
[04:55] <rww> jason_: Lucid support is in #ubuntu+1
[04:55] <serverduck> void_pointer, i could try with the browse option maybe it will start.
[04:55] <bazhang> jason_, #ubuntu+1 for lucid
[04:55] <meganerd> quadboot?  ouch
[04:55] <jiohdi> void_pointer: conky does not need root to run
[04:55] <hexdump_> yeah wonder if I could actually get quad boot working.
[04:55] <jason_> #ubuntu+1
[04:56] <hexdump_> I think the key is not to install the loader until you have installed your final OS
[04:56] <void_pointer> serverduck, you could try a bit of a hack and make a script in your home directory that you call with the startup app
[04:56] <zetheroo> is it just me or does openoffice really seem to struggle with anything semi-decent in size ...
[04:56] <jiohdi> hexdump_: grub2 seems to be good at detecting a number of installed os's and then taking them into account
[04:56] <serverduck> void_pointer,  i don't know how to write that script yet...
[04:57] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  well I installed mandriva then ubuntu and it had problems loading mandriva.  Installed mandriva then ubuntu and loaded up fine.
[04:57] <thundarr> I'm trying to find compiz config and going nuts.
[04:57] <hexdump_> thundarr:  type terminal ccsm
[04:57] <jiohdi> hexdump_: many distro's dont want to play nice, ubuntu does not mind sharing :)
[04:58] <void_pointer> serverduck, like, create a file in /home called "conky_start.sh" and put in it: "#!/bin/bash conky -c yourconfig". Then make it executable: "chmod a+x conky_start.sh". then add the script to the startup manager
[04:58] <hexdump_> joohdi:  yeah I really like ubuntu probably one of my favs right now.
[04:58] <serverduck> void_pointer,  thanks i'll try right now, thanks so much
[04:58] <jiohdi> hexdump_: I did a restore point for win7 and it screwed up the loader... but then I put another ubuntu on it and it detected the win7 and the other ubuntu and now its fine
[04:58] <void_pointer> serverduck, only thank when it works ;)
[04:58] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  I'm trying to put Yellow dog on my broken PS3, that is if I can get my old ps3 YLOD(Yellow light of death) fixed.
[04:59] <hihowareyou> well then looks like I sorta figured it out myseld
[04:59] <HorizonXP> ok, i figured something out. if I disconnect and reconnect my VNC session, i can see the desktop refreshing with the programs i'm trying to run
[04:59] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  yeah same thing happened to me.
[04:59] <hihowareyou> *myself
[04:59] <hihowareyou> it booted but is all command line
[04:59] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  I have my old model ps3 in peices.  I was lookin on youtube and somebody put their ps3 in the oven!
[05:00] <hexdump_> I guess the point is to melt the solder joints and try and let them bond back again.
[05:00] <jiohdi> hexdump_: what, to make a microwave?
[05:00] <rww> ubottu: ot
[05:00] <void_pointer> serverduck, if you need clarification of those instructions tell me. They were a bit slack
[05:00] <jiohdi> hexdump_: I suspect that would bake all the chips before it helped
[05:01] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  That's what I thought, but supposedly the guy did it and it fixed it.
[05:01] <void_pointer> the plastic would melt before the chips "baked"
[05:01] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  sort of like the xbox360 towel trick
[05:01] <jiohdi> hexdump_: unless he is just trying to see how many will fall for it
[05:01] <mya> yeah right
[05:01] <bazhang> lets take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[05:01] <serverduck> void_pointer, no it's ok...i done that i hope it will work
[05:01] <robertzaccour> howdy yall
[05:01] <hexdump_> I've heard of using a hair dryer to melt the solder and let them bond back.  The true way to fix it is with a heat gun though.  this brit dude on youtube fixed his no problem.
[05:02] <void_pointer> serverduck, if not I have more hacky ways to start things :)
[05:02] <serverduck> void_pointer, i got to eat something, thank you so much
[05:02] <void_pointer> serverduck, same
[05:02] <void_pointer> apt-get install lunch
[05:02] <robertzaccour> is there a yahoo messenger client for Ubuntu that has voice chat? browser based is ok too
[05:02] <serverduck> void_pointer,  i will look and see if it works, if not.. i will tell you later when i get back from work.
[05:02] <serverduck> void_pointer,  bon apetit! :)
[05:02] <hexdump_> well all I gotta run trying to setup a little website on my old crap computer
[05:02] <void_pointer> serverduck, ciao
[05:03] <rastasean> so i'm looking for some help with mny radeon hd 4350 video card and ubuntu 9.10 i posted on the forums but please look at it

[05:03] <hihowareyou> so how do I go from command line to desktop??????????
[05:03] <jiohdi> hihowareyou: reboot :)
[05:03] <hexdump_> I've had major problems setting up squid3
[05:03] <hihowareyou> and then what
[05:03] <coz_> hihowareyou,  well are you on gnome?
[05:03] <hexdump_> jiohdi:  hey man I'll talk to you later I need to get back to work
[05:03] <robertzaccour> i meant video chat
[05:03] <void_pointer> hihowareyou, "startx" might help
[05:04] <hihowareyou> I've never done this before
[05:04] <jiohdi> hexdump_: later dude
[05:04] <robertzaccour> is there a yahoo messenger client for Ubuntu that has video chat? browser based is ok too
[05:04] <coz_> hihowareyou,   if on gnome    sudo  /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:04] <coz_> hihowareyou,  if on kde  sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[05:04] <hihowareyou> I dont know
[05:04] <hihowareyou> I downloaded unbuntu vs 9.1
[05:04] <void_pointer> hihowareyou, well type "startx" first then
[05:05] <coz_> hihowareyou,  then it is    sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:05] <Firepower> Hi
[05:05] <hihowareyou> and when it reloads it'll load via desktop? (grapic)
[05:05] <hihowareyou> *graphic
[05:06] <coz_> hihowareyou,  yes it will load the login screen and then the desktop
[05:06] <thundarr> hexdump_: thank you so much.
[05:06] <robertzaccour> is there a yahoo messenger client for Ubuntu that has video chat? browser based is ok too
[05:06] <hihowareyou> it says it cannot write to it
[05:06] <hihowareyou> Im on the page where it explains the root sudo thing
[05:06] <coz_> robertzaccour,   amsn     pidgin   both I believe
[05:06] <void_pointer> hihowareyou, why do you refuse to type "startx"?
[05:07] <void_pointer> hihowareyou, is it a phobia?
[05:07] <hihowareyou> I did! it says it cannot write to it
[05:07] <robertzaccour> coz_, amsn is msn and pidgin does not for yahoo
[05:07] <jacklee> who is familiar with DNS Configuration?
[05:07] <suolakurkku> o/
[05:07] <void_pointer> hihowareyou, I see. Can you paste the error in the pastebin?
[05:07] <hihowareyou> nvm
[05:07] <robertzaccour> the browser based ones that i've tried, when it comes time for clicking the button allow flash, the button isn't clickable in linux
[05:07] <hihowareyou> i figured it out
[05:07] <hihowareyou> I dont know the key commands
[05:07] <hihowareyou> Im fumbling in the dark
[05:08] <void_pointer> hihowareyou, so it works?
[05:08] <HorizonXP> turns out it doesn't like desktop effects being on
[05:08] <hihowareyou> "no such file or directory"
[05:09] <coz_> robertzaccour,  http://www.technixupdate.com/download-yahoo-messenger-for-ubuntu-linux-with-webcam-voice-chat-photo-sharing-support/  but that is real old
[05:09] <robertzaccour> oh the desktop effects can be so buggy lol
[05:09] <suolakurkku> Hello, I'm new to ubuntu and linux in general, does anyone know any good editors for HTML CSS and Javascript, nothing fancy, but effective and useable

[05:09] <void_pointer> suolakurkku, vim

[05:12] <blakkheim> suolakurkku: yes
[05:12] <suolakurkku> ok
[05:13] <suolakurkku> thanks
[05:13] <GSF1200S> does anyone know the hex code for the color black (specifically for conky). I have x-session errors file being bombarded with errors that it cannot parse color code 000000
[05:13] <blakkheim> GSF1200S: did you try #000000
[05:14] <hihowareyou_> IT WORKS GUYS!!!
[05:14] <hihowareyou_> W00T
[05:14] <GSF1200S> blakkheim: nope.. I suppose that will do it? Ill give it a shot
[05:14] <hexdump_> whooo got er workin'
[05:14] <GSF1200S> blakkheim: should the # be appended before every color choice or just black?
[05:15] <hihowareyou_> so how do I turn on my wireless adapter? heh I disabled it before my computer crashed
[05:15] <blakkheim> GSF1200S: every
[05:15] <GSF1200S> blakkheim: thanks
[05:16] <GSF1200S> blakkheim: that changes the color to white
[05:17] <suolakurkku> do i need some sort of frontend for Vim
[05:17]  * hexdump_ slaps iceroot around a bit with a large trout
[05:17] <hexdump_> what?
[05:17] <blakkheim> suolakurkku: no
[05:17] <hexdump_> I didn't do that
[05:17] <blakkheim> GSF1200S: i thought 000000 was black and FFFFFF was white, maybe that's backwards
[05:17] <suolakurkku> mmkay
[05:18] <GSF1200S> blakkheim: according to this youre right.. wtf? Why is it white? http://www.pageresource.com/html/hexcodes.htm
[05:19] <blakkheim> GSF1200S: in my conkyrc i have a line that says "default_color black" try that
[05:19] <GSF1200S> blakkheim: cool, ill try that
[05:20] <hexdump_> if anybody has experience using squid3 please msg me when u have some free time.  thanks

[05:22] <tws7> hi all
[05:22] <mjec> hey, a fresh 9.10 install doesn't like my screen and is automatically using a resolution it can't handle. How can I force a specified resolution? xorg.conf?
[05:22] <tws7> my system is not booting up
[05:22] <tws7> not mounting /home
[05:23] <tws7> asks me to enter recovery shell
[05:23] <hihowareyou_> it wont show up on desktop
[05:23] <suolakurkku> bluefish seems nice after i removed some menu's
[05:23] <tws7> any solution?
[05:23] <suolakurkku> coudn't start vim properly
[05:24] <frederick_noe> hi
[05:24] <frederick_noe> i got a little concern, in my character map i cant see all the characters, can somebody tell me why?
[05:24] <frederick_noe> i mean, some are missing
[05:25] <mjec> tws7: there are several possible reasons for this. Could be configuration changes, hard drive error etc.
[05:26] <tws7> mjec, i see...
[05:26] <mjec> tws7: have you changed any hardware recently? Done an upgrade of software?
[05:26] <tws7> mjec, no
[05:27] <tws7> normal updates...
[05:27] <tws7> mjec, had mounted a portable harddrive...
[05:27] <tws7> shud it cause any issues?
[05:27] <justin_> Anyone else have issues with download speeds? Mine stay at around 1.3-1.5mbps and within 20 seconds drop down to around 100kbps. They just bouce back and forth.
[05:27] <mjec> tws7: maybe, if it uses the same interface as /home. try unplugging and rebooting.
[05:28] <tws7> drive isnt connected anymore
[05:28] <tws7> have rebooted several times now
[05:28] <askhader> Anyone ever encounter this bug where after Ubuntu goes into standby, youtube plays super fast without audio?
[05:29] <tws7> have also executed this command: `sudo shutdown -r -t 0 now` from the recovery console..
[05:29] <tws7> but still no go
[05:30] <mjec> tws7: how much do you know about partitions, filesystems etc?
[05:30] <tws7> not much
[05:31] <tws7> just the basics
[05:31] <zetheroo> we need an office suite that does not run with Java!
[05:31] <tws7> mjec, you want me to do something?
[05:31] <tws7> i can try
[05:32] <mjec> tws7: basics will help. If you type "fdisk -l" (no quotes and that's lower case L), can you tell if its output is right?
[05:32] <kinja-sheep> mjec: sudo: prelude!
[05:32] <tws7> lemme chk
[05:32] <makdotgnu> how Do i install ruby 1.9 in ubuntu 8.04 ?? I installed from synaptic but when I do ruby -v I get out put intsall ruby. ... please help
[05:33] <mjec> kinja-sheep: recovery console, so not required ;)
[05:34] <tws7> mjec, output is correct
[05:34] <zhig-> heh sort of ironic.. the text based install was many times easier than the graphical one
[05:35] <mjec> tws7: so that shows all the drives you'd expect? That's good. Now "cat /etc/fstab"... you should see /home in the second column somewhere
[05:36] <mjec> tws7: track that back and see what's in the first column. is that device showing as valid in fdisk?
[05:36] <tws7> lemme check
[05:37] <xgpt> hello
[05:37] <xgpt> anyone here?
[05:37] <tws7> mjec, what do u mean by valid?
[05:38] <NewWorld> hi! | xgpt
[05:40] <enli> Hi, I have configured cron job to run nightly which runs (as verified by simple echo to file), the only problem is that i would like it to be launched inside a terminal window. How do I do that?
[05:41] <aruntomar> enli: y do u need it to run in terminal?
[05:42] <enli> aruntomar: i just need to see the output, actually its a rsync job to update daily builds of 10.4 cd
[05:43] <aruntomar> enli: you can redirect the outut to a file to see the progress and have a record of it
[05:44] <enli> yes that is fine, if launching command inside terminal is possible, i would prefer that
[05:45] <aruntomar> enli: basically cron runs the commands or scripts in a subshell
[05:46] <enli> aruntomar: i see, it is meant to be run unattended.
[05:46] <aruntomar> enli: may be u can try the GUI approach as mentioned on this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto
[05:47] <enli> i have already configured and job runs fine
[05:48] <aruntomar> enli: the GUI way is define the DISPLAY variable for running the stuff
[05:49] <axisys> is there a tool to convert a doc file to txt ?
[05:49] <aruntomar> axisys: r u looking for some automated script?
[05:49] <Lostinspace_46> From the command line, using SVN, why do I get a list of files, rather than the files themselves?
[05:50] <aruntomar> Lostinspace_46: wht's the svn command u r using?
[05:50] <axisys> aruntomar: no .. one time convert
[05:50] <enli> aruntomar: env DISPLAY=:0 didnt work, but job run fine :S
[05:51] <tws7> makdotgnu, hae u done - sudo apt-get install ruby?
[05:51] <tws7> *have
[05:51] <Lostinspace_46> aruntomar, From the tut   "svn co https://cmusphinx.svn.sourceforge.net:/svnroot/cmusphinx/trunk/SphinxTrain"
[05:51] <axisys> aruntomar: i dont understand why people send me a unix script as a word doc
[05:51] <tws7> makdotgnu, if not do it...
[05:51] <enli> aruntomar: ah wait, didnt read troublshooting part for 9.10
[05:53] <makdotgnu> tws7: yes i did sudo apt-get install ruby
