[21:01] <Jordan_U> guntbert: It's because it matters on windows, and so someone might see "md5sum -b" and wonder what the "-b" did. If you look at "info md5sum" it explains that on GNU/Linux there is no difference.
[21:02] <Sabri> Side, Are you trying to view all the hardware that's compatible with 10.10, or are you trying to see something line Windows' Device manager?
[21:02] <QTip> I've googled for a few hours and I did not find anything quite usefull, is there anyone who could help me ?
[21:02] <S0LIDUS> How would I check to see if my ethernet adapter was gigabit?
[21:03] <guntbert> Jordan_U: thx, I read that now - I was never too comfortable with info....
[21:03] <nixbox> S0LIDUS: maybe check the output of "lspci | grep -i 'ethernet' "
[21:04] <goltoof> Qtiip... boot up in restore mode so you at least get cli
[21:04] <hallo> 'ello people
[21:04] <goltoof> *recovery
[21:04] <Side> Sabri, i want to c the hardware I have , like you could c it in windows
[21:04] <hallo> can anyone assist me installing ati drivers?
[21:04] <Jordan_U> guntbert: You're welcome.
[21:04] <Side> i just want to know if its possible
[21:04] <S0LIDUS> nixbox, Thanks mate!
[21:04] <Side> and where
[21:04] <goltoof> hallo, get Nvidia instead... trust me
[21:04] <Sabri> goltoof, would that also be txqueuelen under ifconfig?
[21:05] <nixbox> S0LIDUS: np
[21:05] <Sabri> Side, you can do that.  You have to install Device Manager.
[21:05] <Side> from the download center?
[21:05] <Side> of wit sudo apt-get?
[21:05] <hallo> @goltoof :)) i agree but that's what i have now...so i really need to set it up
[21:06] <FrEaKmAn_> is linux adding \r? or is this only windows thing
[21:06] <klawd> lxml is kind of overwhelming me. what is the best way to just get a subelement with a specific tagname and a specific attribute (+ value)
[21:06] <ddn> hi, I have lost my file and printing sharing since the last big ubuntu updating, is it a known problem?
[21:06] <Side> or with the terminal => sudo apt get commend?
[21:07] <QTip> @goltoof, what do you mean by booting in restore mode ?
[21:07] <Sabri> Side:  You can install it in the Synaptic Package Manager.  That means it's available from apt-get, but I don't know what name it is.  I'm looking to see if it's in Ubuntu Software Center.
[21:07] <nixbox> FrEaKmAn_: well end of line is usually a one character in windows, whereas its two chars in Linux, there used to be a utility called dos2unix to convert between format and i am pretty sure there is an sed one liner that could do that as well
[21:07] <Side> ty sabri :)
[21:07] <Bboy>  Good evening every body, I'm trying UNE live usb, But I can't log in, It keep asking for login info, what is the default password?
[21:07] <goltoof> QTip, if all you're getting is a blank screen then you at least need cli..  reboot into recovery mode by holding shift down
[21:08] <Sabri> Side:  It's in Software Center. :)
[21:08] <Side> ok ty
[21:08] <Side> and sabri, would you know where i could get some tutorials or info for the use of ubuntu?
[21:08] <supplicant> nixbox: no, it's two in windows and one in linux
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> Bboy: there isn't one. Press CTRL+ALT+F1   and run:  passwd ubuntu    and set the password
[21:09] <supplicant> \r\n in windows, \n in linux
[21:09] <zidoh> I've got a clean install of ubuntu with a Intel GMA HD card. For some reason, like once a minute, the screen blinks black, and returns to normal.. anybody got a clue what might do this?
[21:09] <Jordan_U> FrEaKmAn_: *NIX line endings are LF, or \n. Windows line endings are CR+LF, '\r\n'.
[21:09] <nixbox> supplicant: yeah i might have said the other way around :)
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> Bboy: did you MD5 test the ISO before you transferred it to the USB?
[21:09] <FrEaKmAn_> nixbox, Jordan_U thanks
[21:09] <Jordan_U> FrEaKmAn_: You're welcome.
[21:09] <QTip> @goltoof, I'll give it a try, thanks
[21:09] <DarK^NiGhT> Pershendetje Dhe Miresejugjeta Te Gjitheve :):)
[21:10] <Sabri> Side: Actually, I don't.  You might try the ubuntu website and forums, though. :)
[21:10] <DarK^NiGhT> Where Can I Find UBUNTu ???
[21:10] <Side> ok , ty :)

[21:12] <tangodown40> i have a little problem here -- yesterday, I installed kubuntu-desktop in addition to my ubuntu-desktop. But shortly after, I decided to remove it and just stick with Ubuntu-desktop. Now, for some reason, whenever I use a browser the fonts are rendered differently from the rest of the desktop. Is there a way to fix this?
[21:13] <QTip> @goltoof, no problem, thanks for you help anyway

[21:17] <GoldenFish4U> How?
[21:17] <cousteau> f00bar80: translation: "WARNING (but not ERROR): You have added an external repository but not its pgp key, so I can't check if it's safe. However I will continue if you press OK, but you should add that key. Using add-apt-repository makes this unnecessary."
[21:18] <Gugagoes> Does someone with problems on Toshiba laptop?
[21:18] <goltoof> Sabri,  got no idea  : /   are you sure you meant to ask me?
[21:18] <Lars__> no none
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> GoldenFish4U: insert -> manual break
[21:18] <GoldenFish4U> thx ActionParsnip
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Lars__: can you expand on your issue
[21:19] <Sabri> goltoof, Yeah, actually.  You answered that one user's question about how to determine their Ethernet class.
[21:20] <Lars__> oh there yes

[21:21] <dewyface> hey guys, i installed ubuntu sunday from cd. And now occasionally the whole computer just cuts of and starts again.  Does a disk check and finds errors but cannot resolve them. Any ideas?
[21:21] <Lars__> !ot | ActionParsnip
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> Lars__: when was I offtopic?
[21:21] <dean_> Hi could someone help me with my firewall?
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: boot to liveCD and check the disk for errors there. I also suggest you test your RAM for errors
[21:22] <Raydiation> hi how can i set the network domain of my pc? e.g. workgroup
[21:22] <rikmor18> dewyface: maybe your pc is running too hot with ubuntu?
[21:22] <dewyface> ActionParsnip how do i test the ram?
[21:23] <dean_> Can someone tell me how to configure my firewall to allow incoming connections?
[21:23] <dewyface> rikmor18 maybe i have a pretty good fan on here, how can i check this?
[21:23] <Side> ubuntu is great :D
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: reboot, hold shift, select memtest
[21:23] <rikmor18> dewyface: my acer aspire 5100 would do the same thing when I installed lucid lynx.  was able to adjust the temperature setting, but it kept saying "critial temperature reached: 95 C" and shut down.
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> dean_: by default it will allow all connections
[21:23] <delirus_> eh... the nvidia drivers on x-swat didn't fix my problem.  any way to get the ones that came with 10.04?
[21:23] <bytesaber> then link it to Google STD Edition
[21:23] <rikmor18> dewyface: i'm not sure.  someone walked me through it on here.
[21:23] <dewyface> ActionParsnip straight after bios or when loading
[21:23] <Aedolon> On Ubuntu 10.10 my Pidgin just randomly shuts down, is this known?
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> delirus_: remove the ppa and remove the driver you installed
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> Aedolon: tried the pidgin ppa?
[21:24] <rikmor18> still looking for some help myself: how do I clear a bios password?
[21:24] <dean_> on bittornado its stating I have no incoming connections and I am getting slow speeds?
[21:24] <Firewall> .
[21:24] <dewyface> Aedolon same whats going on haha
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: yes, before the plymouth splash
[21:24] <dewyface> ok ill try it
[21:24] <Aedolon> ActionParsnip: No, I'll do that now.
[21:24] <delirus_> ActionParsnip:  already done... but now I have the default ones from 10.10, and the exact same problem
[21:24] <Gugagoes> Someone aobut Toshiba headphone jack?
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> rikmor18: your question is a hardware question and not ubuntu so is offtopic, ask in ##hardware
[21:24] <dewyface> if i find errors what can i do
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> dean_: do you use a router?
[21:25] <f00bar80> vnstat -i ra0 returns =>  ra0: Not enough data available yet., any comment ?
[21:25] <dean_> I do ActionParsnip but at mo I have it wired to see if it helps but not much
[21:25] <tangodown40> i have a little problem here -- yesterday, I installed kubuntu-desktop in addition to my ubuntu-desktop. But shortly after, I decided to remove it and just stick with Ubuntu-desktop. Now, for some reason, whenever I use a browser the fonts are rendered differently from the rest of the desktop. Is there a way to fix this?
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: try removing RAM til you isolate the bad stick, then replace. If you only have one stick then replace it
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> dean_: then look into port forwarding there
[21:25] <dewyface> i dont think its the ram, everything was running fine before hand i think tahts a bit extreme
[21:26] <goltoof> tangodown40,  did you already reinstall ubuntu-desktop?
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> dean_: if your ISP throttles torrents then tis will affect you and you will need to use a proxy
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: its not extreme at all, its a simple test using a well respected ram tester. How is it extreme?
[21:26] <zmitya> hi Gents
[21:26] <dean_> ActionParsnip, could you put that in laymans terms lol
[21:26] <umut> does anybody use snippetsEmu Vim Plugin? I don't get the installation process described here : http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=1318
[21:26] <zmitya> it seems that I hit this netbeans bug: http://forums.netbeans.org/post-87466.html

[21:26] <zmitya> how can I use gdb 7.1 in my maverick ?
[21:26] <zmitya> I mean how can i downgrade ?
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: what? testing the ram?
[21:27] <dewyface> ActionaParsnip: Everything was working fine on debian though:|
[21:27] <tangodown40> ubuntu-desktop was already installed, but after removing kubuntu-desktop I reformatted the / partition and installed ubuntu again.
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> dewyface: well there will be a time when it works and a time when it doesn't, you may have just passed that time
[21:27] <Notorious_> I'm having some trouble to install my ubuntu, I made a bootable pen-drive and with this pen-drive I've already installed ubuntu in one machine, but in this machine when the Install window appears both mouse and keyboard stucks, no matter what mouse is or keyboard
[21:27] <dewyface> ActionParsnip: ok cheers buddy im gonna do it hahah
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> dean_: if you forward the port in the router which you are using with your torrent client on the same port, it can help
[21:28] <dean_> Earlier I was getting fast speeds but now its slowed down but on Bittornado its showing a yellow light which means I dont have a incoming connection
[21:28] <goltoof> if you're dealing with a fresh install then what you did before has nothing to do with your problem, less you formatted the partition improperly
[21:29] <Notorious_> can someone help me?
[21:29] <Notorious_> :x
[21:29] <Lars__> yes i @notor
[21:29] <tangodown40> goltoof: I didn't format /home, so whatever was on there is still there
[21:29] <Lars__> where is your question
[21:29] <dlublink> I want to encrypt a file using a public key that I have from ssh, but I don't want to import the key or make a key ring. I just want to reference the file directly. How would I do this É
[21:29] <Sabri> !patience | Notorious_
[21:29] <f00bar80> any comment ?
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: have you tested the USB health? Did you test the RAM?
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: on what?
[21:29] <goltoof> tangodown40,   then your problem most likely is in /home, eh?
[21:30] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip, vnstat -i ra0 returns =>  ra0: Not enough data available yet., any comment ?
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: what are you trying to achieve?
[21:30] <tangodown40> goltoof: Yeah, but I already deleted any leftover KDE files
[21:30] <dean_> I think maybe I will stick with windows seems alot of hassle with Ubuntu
[21:30] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip, monitor my monthly bandwidth
[21:30] <Lars__> windows buh ubuntu ya
[21:31] <delirus_> dean_  go for gentoo.  much simpler than ubuntu :p
[21:31] <meowsus> Is it possible to download a .deb package from the repositories to my desktop as opposed to using apt-get install?
[21:31] <Notorious_> I'm using windows fine, but it's only when the Install window appears in the installation boot, before it the mouse can move properly, but in the exact moment when the "Install" window appears asking me for language and option both stucks
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-ubuntu-users.html
[21:31] <dean_> gentoo how is it easier delirus_
[21:31] <delirus_> heh
[21:31] <delirus_> was a joke
[21:31] <goltoof> please clarify, if you purge ubuntu-desktop and isntall kubuntu-desktop... that's only going to change your desktop interface?  it's nothing like a fresh install
[21:31] <Lars__> delirus_: dpkg -i name.deb
[21:31] <fcuk112> if i want to cp files with only extensions xxx, yyy and zzz, how do i do this?
[21:31] <delirus_> (but a true one)
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: try these boot options: i8024.reset    i8024.nomux=1     irqpoll
[21:32] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip, i want it to append bandwidth usage , not to reset on every new session/connection
[21:32] <cousteau> meowsus: you can use packages.ubuntu.com, or use synaptic to generate a downloader script to download from another ubuntu
[21:32] <meowsus> ah
[21:32] <meowsus> Thanks cousteau
[21:32] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, where to put this?
[21:32] <aeon-ltd> fcuk112: wildcards, cp *.yyy
[21:32] <Lars__> delirus_: dpkg -i name.deb
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> !bootoptions | Notorious_
[21:33] <Notorious_> Ty
[21:33] <Sabri> tangodown40, it is possible that the browser is using the stylesheet left over from kubuntu.  That's what it sounds like.
[21:33] <dean_> So is there an easy way to configure router to allow incoming ports?
[21:33] <tangodown40> goltoof: I had both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop installed - ubuntu-desktop was never removed from my computer, only kubuntu-desktop.
[21:33] <felipellrocha> hey. i got a headless ubuntu server running virtualbox... i wanted that my host os to show in the monitor whenever i plugged a monitor to it.... not ubuntu... is it possible?
[21:33] <umut> any vim geeks aroun?
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> umut: try in #vim
[21:34] <Gugagoes> Man! Please! Someone know how to fix the headphone jack for Toshiba L655?
[21:34] <damian-> felipellrocha, from what you just said Ubuntu was your host..
[21:34] <felipellrocha> yeah
[21:34] <goltoof> tangodown40,   i suggest you sudo apt-get remove --purge ubuntu-desktop then
[21:34] <Sabri> !patience | Gugagoes
[21:34] <umut> ActionParsnip: thx
[21:34] <tangodown40> Sabri: How do I remove that stylesheet?
[21:34] <felipellrocha> damian-: yeah. pretty much
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> Gugagoes: is audio coming out of both when you plug in a headphone set
[21:34] <goltoof> tangodown40,   and reinstall
[21:34] <damian-> then you mean show your guest when a screen is plugged in?
[21:35] <JayPhill89> is there a folder that has all the installed applications listed
[21:35] <damian-> felipellrocha, if you're running a headless ubuntu host without gui, you can't show the guest at all (because there's no gui to display it)
[21:35] <tangodown40> goltoof, Will anything happen to my files / programs by doing that?
[21:35] <fcuk112> aeon-ltd, i want to do something like cp *.[xxx|yyy|zzz] how do i do that?
[21:35] <goltoof> tangodown40,   no
[21:36] <felipellrocha> damian-: so id have to install a gui for it to work?
[21:36] <Gugagoes> ActionParnship: There is no audio on both.
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> JayPhill89: you can make one with: dpkg -l > ~/Desktop/applist.txt; gedit ~/Desktop/applist.txt
[21:36] <dean_> Ok I think as I am being ignored I was informed incorrect that ubuntu chat was friendly
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> Gugagoes: ok let me see
[21:36] <tangodown40> goltoof: And that'll also remove the leftover KDE stylesheet(s)?
[21:36] <Gugagoes> Thanks.
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> dean_: I ave you direction, use it
[21:36] <damian-> felipellrocha, correct. i don't know why you'd want/need that anyway unless you're having networking issues. virtualbox allows you to RDP to the guest system, not just the guest os
[21:36] <JayPhill89> thanks ActionParsnip
[21:36] <goltoof> tangent3,   not sure, but it won't cause any damage to reinstall, for sure
[21:37] <dean_> I am a noob ActionParsnip I have no idea it looks difficult
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> dean_: its nothing to do with Ubuntu, its networking
[21:37] <guntbert> dean_: try ##networking
[21:37] <dean_> I dont have this problem with windows though ActionParsnip it dont affect my speeds
[21:38] <felipellrocha> damian-: because i just got this new computer that i want to run the server 24/7. and sometimes i might need to use it for presentations, for which id like to have win7...
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> dean_: find your router manual and look how to port forward, if you flick around in your torrent client you will see the port used, port forward that port using TCP to the IP addrress of the system. I recommend you use a static IP so DHCP lease expiration doesnt sever the link
[21:38] <damian-> dean_, it's a very hard question to answer anyway, it depends on your router / network setup. look at your routers manual, there should be a part in there on how to forward ports
[21:38] <aeon-ltd> fcuk112: i would assume (i'd test on some copied or dummy files first though), cp *.{xxx,yyy,zzz}
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> dean_: if you sit in here and bang the "i'm a noob" drum you will ALWAYS be a noob, if you research some and ook around you will learn a great deal and get as good as I am sure you are at some other oprating systems you have used for ages
[21:39] <damian-> felipellrocha, i don't quite understand .. you have your server (ubuntu) running a vm (win7) and now you have a new computer, or?
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> dean_: you dont run the sam client in windows so it works differently
[21:40] <felipellrocha> damian-: sry. yeah. the new computer is the computer running ubuntu + win7-vm...
[21:40] <Sabri> tangodown40, What browser is it again?  Firefox?
[21:40] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, is this valid for 10.10 setup? coz I don't saw anything like that when I installed on the other machine
[21:40] <fcuk112> aeon-ltd, cool that worked, thank you!
[21:40] <felipellrocha> damian-: and i am constantly ssh-ing into it...
[21:40] <tangodown40> Sabri: Firefox, chromium, google chrome, and some programs
[21:40] <skism> so I'm the guy with wubi problems installing xubuntu
[21:41] <skism> mainly maverick wouldn't work
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Gugagoes: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh   thanks
[21:41] <damian-> felipellrocha, ah. then yeah you need your host os (ubuntu) to be running a gui
[21:41] <skism> lucid didn't, barfed graphical garbage even in safest graphics
[21:41] <Sabri> tangodown40, Have you tried resetting your theme?
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: is the system identical?
[21:41] <felipellrocha> damian-: alright! thz man!
[21:41] <skism> maverick even game me pretty plymouth
[21:41] <JayPhill89> is there a fast way to switch between GNOME and Unity
[21:41] <tangodown40> Sabri: my firefox theme?
[21:42] <damian-> felipellrocha, i MAY be wrong, there COULD be a way to passthrough a device (such as a video card) straight to the guest os, but i'v enever seen it / used it
[21:42] <adrian_kx> hi ppl
[21:42] <Sabri> tangodown40, No, your Ubuntu theme.
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> JayPhill89: press ALT+F2   and run: mutter --replace   then run whatever it takes to get the unity bar
[21:42] <adrian_kx> anyone tryed to use ati catalyst with 2.6.36 kernel?
[21:42] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, how so?
[21:42] <adrian_kx> or isnt supported by ati yet
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: in every way.
[21:42] <Notorious_> dunno :/
[21:42] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip, which one monitor that i can use to know toTal internet traffic usage per month ?
[21:43] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, but there's no menu like this
[21:43] <tangodown40> Sabri, well, I did change it to something else, but it didn't affect the fonts.
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: if the systems in hardware are identical then they will act the same, if one has a different motherboard then it will directly impact the install process and be different
[21:43] <zkam> f00bar80, mac or windows?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: not sure dude
[21:43] <f00bar80> zkam, ubuntu
[21:43] <zkam> oh can't help you there f00bar80
[21:43] <felipellrocha> damian-: aah. thatd be the perfect solution
[21:44] <felipellrocha> damian-: ima take a look into it...! thz man!
[21:44] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip are you meaning from the machine i've installed earlier?
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: you could use snmp to monitor sent packets and once a month take a reading then reset the counter
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: yes
[21:44] <JayPhill89> ActionParsnip: mutter --replace acted like it was working but the screen that came up again was still Unity
[21:44] <goltoof> tangodown40,   is it just your browsers messed up, or is it system wide?
[21:44] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, no they're differente
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> JayPhill89: unity ises mutter as it's WM, it will be compiz in natty
[21:45] <Notorious_> different*
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: then thats why its acting different
[21:45] <Sabri> tangodown40, Try changing the fonts to something else and then changing them to you preference.  Tell me if that makes a difference.
[21:45] <f00bar80> ActionParsnip :(
[21:45] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, but it was not supposed to act like this, this is very strange
[21:45] <tangodown40> Sabri, it's system wide, plus the buttons are also affected.
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> f00bar80: thats all i can recommend, using snmp is simple
[21:45] <docmur> my sound cards not showing up in the sound app so I when I dmesg I get http://pastebin.com/dBYE4pKA
[21:45] <X-Sleepy-X> does ubuntu make use of an already existing swap partition located under the same partition table as the intended installation partition during the installation procedure?
[21:45] <docmur> but I don't know what it means
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: the hardware is different and may not work with zero options, so you may need some switches and stuff to make the kernel talk to the hardware right
[21:46] <Sabri> tangodown40, That's what I'm thinking.  Try changing the font and then changing it back.  See if that makes a difference.
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> X-Sleepy-X: i believe so
[21:46] <duffydack> f00bar80, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMonitorInternetTrafficTotals
[21:46] <dlublink> Can I use my ssh key pair for gpg ?
[21:47] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, I though this pen-drive boot setup was supposed to work right on every hardware, hmm
[21:47] <X-Sleepy-X> ActionParsnip: so that would in theory compensate for shortage on ram?
[21:47] <tangodown40> Sabri, changing the fonts didn't help.
[21:47] <X-Sleepy-X> of*
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: how can it, the number of hardware variations are astronomical, yes it tries to accomodate most but some setups need special options
[21:47] <boxbeatsy> hi, does anybody know why i am getting a white box at the top left of my screen when i'm using wine?
[21:48] <Sabri> tangodown40, Did you update any programs (firefox, for example) while under Kubuntu?
[21:48] <kona680> hello
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> X-Sleepy-X: you can use: top  to see whats chewing the RAM, launch a terminal via CTRL+ALT+T and see whats going on
[21:48] <tangodown40> Sabri, In fact, in Firefox a lot of the words are in a different language (i changed the fonts back to Ubuntu)
[21:48] <tangodown40> Sabri, No I did not update any programs.
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: what app are you running, oris it all apps?
[21:49] <X-Sleepy-X> ActionParsnip: i was planning to use the alternate cd... :)
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: some make a tray icon (like spotify)
[21:49] <danktamagachi> are there any disadvantages to using kubuntu over the normal version?  will I miss out on any apps? any lost functionality?
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> X-Sleepy-X: ah, i see
[21:49] <Sabri> tangodown40, You have me stumped.  Of course, my understanding of Ubuntu is more limited...
[21:49] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip and how to set this special options that you told me? I don't see any menu like that from the wiki article
[21:49] <kv102t> anyone know if you can use eToken SSO on ubuntu 10.4 or 10.10 ??
[21:49] <boxbeatsy> ActionParsnip: i'm running a random app called ICC, and it only happens for thsi one app
[21:49] <Firartix> hey therere :D
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> danktamagachi: you can run gnome apps in kde if you wish. Depends on what apps you use. If you use a lot of KDE apps then use KUbuntu. If you use gnome apps then use gnome
[21:50] <ubuntu4shane> is there ANY smartphone that is compatible with Ubuntu (ie that syncs with evolution) ??  I want to sync contacts and calendar
[21:50] <Firartix> i would like to know if there is any way to get a plain standard graphic file explorer on 10.11 Netbook edition ?
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> boxbeatsy: is there a fix on the wine appdb?
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> !ot | ubuntu4shane
[21:51] <lopeze> Hey. I'm attempting to install StarCraft II and how to's tell me to follow these commands to unhide the necessary install files. sudo umount /media/SC2-L100-D1     sudo mount -o ro,unhide,uid=1000 /dev/sr0 /mnt                          cd /mnt           . From there I'd use wine to install it but it hangs and as such I need to copy the CD's contents but I don't know how to. Anyone know how to transfer the data to the desktop?
[21:51] <X-Sleepy-X> danktamagachi: the only thing i noticed in a previos version of kubuntu was that the network manager didn't find any hidden wireless network but i guess there is a way around that...
[21:51] <pthakkar> #join virtualbox
[21:51] <Firartix> i am seriously disappointed by the way you can't open anything :|
[21:51] <goltoof> tangodown40,   reinstall ubuntu-desktop...   your previous kubuntu install must have compromised your settings.  reinstalling should reset your settings
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> X-Sleepy-X: could use wicd, its DE independant
[21:51] <coz_> Firartix,  not sure .... I have not use netbook much... did you try opening a terminal and   nautilus   as the command?
[21:51] <Firartix> aside from that strange "files & folder" window that find 1/4 the stuff
[21:51] <Firartix> hmmm no
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: can you expand on "open anything" please
[21:52] <Firartix> i mean getting a file explorer
[21:52] <Firartix> i see none accessible by any graphic mean on 10.11 netbook
[21:52] <ubuntu4shane> ActionParsnip, ok, will check there, although I don't really think this is off-topic, it is a Ubuntu compatibility thing, non-the less.
[21:52] <kv102t> anyone know if you can use eToken SSO on ubuntu 10.4 or 10.10 ??
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: if you use the files and folders item on the left, it runs nautilus which is EXACTLY the same as the desktop OS
[21:52] <guampa> hello
[21:52] <tangodown40> goltoof, alright, I'll try doing that. Do I have to use --purge?
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu4shane: this is for users having issues with their OS
[21:53] <Firartix> are you kidding o_O ?
[21:53] <Firartix> i can't get to open any folder
[21:53] <ubuntu4shane> ActionParsnip, understood, thanks
[21:53] <Firartix> i can just "search through my documents folder"
[21:53] <Firartix> with 20% accuracy
[21:53] <coz_> Firartix,  then try in terminal   nautilus  see if that is what yo u want
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: sure you can, your user can navigate and read almost any file, you will have limited write access due  to your user being a user
[21:53] <goltoof> tangodown40,  i would anyway
[21:54] <coz_> Firartix,   or   gksudo nautilus for more permissions
[21:54] <guampa> i have an issue with virtualbox, every time i reboot my machine i have to recreate a second "host" adapter
[21:54] <Firartix> ActionParsnip: ... i'm talking about SEEING what is actually on your disk and stuff
[21:54] <Firartix> :|
[21:54] <Firartix> besides, the file & folder is just giving me a black screen now
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: do you mean the stuff OUTSIDE of $HOME?
[21:55] <Firartix> yea
[21:55] <Firartix> and stuff inside it too, since half of it doesn't seem to be shown in there
[21:55] <dennda> On my apple keyboard the F1-F12 keys are per default used as media keys and I have to press an additional key to get to their FX meaning. How do I swap that?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: then click the up arrow in nautilus to navigate to /home then to / and you can navigate from there
[21:55] <guntbert> Firartix: coz_ : running nautilus with root permissions is *very dangerous™
[21:55] <guampa> why the second adapter dissapears?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> guampa: i'd ask in #vbox
[21:56] <coz_> guntbert,  you dont use  gksudo nautilus at any point?
[21:56] <Firartix> ActionParsnip: well i don't see any
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: true but its good for users needing to copy plugins and such
[21:56] <guampa> ok, thanks ActionParsnip
[21:56] <Firartix> it just open up a window with files sorted under 3 category
[21:56] <Firartix> "Recent" "Favorite" "Download"
[21:57] <kv102t> How to i change he login page?
[21:57] <Firartix> and buttons at top to select wether i want "Images" "Documents" "All files" or something
[21:57] <Firartix> but that's about it :|
[21:57] <guntbert> coz_: very rarely, and never when I might get distracted - so please if you recommend it give a word of caution as well
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b6/Ubuntu_Netbook_Remix-is_(Nautilus).png    see the orange arrow pointing up in the toolbar, after then one pointing left and the one pointing right, hit that
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: youo can even press ALT+F2 and run:  nautilus /
[21:57] <Firartix> woaaaah
[21:57] <Firartix> i like don't have this thing at all
[21:57] <bekor> hello friends
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: why do you want the / folder to show?
[21:58] <Notorious_> ActionParnsip to edit boot options I need a live desktop cd?
[21:58] <Firartix> is it the stuff that get opened when you press "File and Folders" ?
[21:58] <Firartix> &*
[21:58] <bekor> anyone available for a question?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: are you installing or is the OS installed?
[21:58] <X-Sleepy-X> !ask | bekor
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: yes, thats pretty much the default layout
[21:59] <Firartix> ...
[21:59] <Firartix> i have a total different one
[21:59] <X-Sleepy-X> Firartix: Ctrl H
[21:59] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip I'm installing through a pen-drive, I've burned the ubuntu 10.10 image like told in the site
[22:00] <Teknoenie> If there are any developers here are they looking into https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kickseed/+bug/420903
[22:00] <Firartix> um X-Sleepy-X
[22:00] <Firartix> what is that supposed to do :o ?
[22:00] <Teknoenie> It still doesn't work
[22:00] <bekor> does anyone know why when i dual boot with windows on my ubuntu start up i have the windows chess pieces icon?
[22:00] <Firartix> does nothing
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: or like this: http://www.tuxradar.com/files/unr6.jpg
[22:00] <Firartix> ActionParsnip: what is your "Application" window looking like then ?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: ?
[22:00] <X-Sleepy-X> Firartix: shows hidden files and folders....
[22:00] <kv102t> Anyone help me with changeing my login screen to one i have downloaded from the ink in the theme area.
[22:00] <Firartix> got nothing to do with it X-Sleepy-X >_>
[22:00] <X-Sleepy-X> Firartix: in nautilus that is....
[22:00] <Firartix> neither ActionParsnip
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: i dont use netbook remix but i've been around the block a few times
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: can you give a screenshot please
[22:01] <Firartix> well i used 10.04 for a few days ago
[22:01] <Firartix> it looked like opening nautilus or something
[22:01] <Firartix> but with 10.10 it got replaced by some mean stuff
[22:01] <Firartix> ActionParsnip: well, how :| ?
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> kv102t: the login screen isnt very themable, you can change the colour of the login box and the wallpaper but thats about it
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: use printscreen to make the shot, then host it on imageshack
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: or if you can find a similar shot online thats just as good
[22:02] <bekor> i have a dual boot with ubuntu 10.10 and windows xp my ubuntu start up page has the windows chess pieces icon any idea why?can I change it?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> bekor: use the about me in preferences, you can change your image there
[22:03] <Firartix> mmmh okay wait
[22:03] <kv102t> ActionParsnip: i followed link from ubuntu install to. http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter
[22:03] <number_k> I enabled autologin and having done so, on my next restart nautilus didn't come up.. and I'm not entirely sure where to look.. any ideas?
[22:03] <bekor> thank you.do you know why it has the windows thingy?is that normal?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> kv102t: yes they work in the old login app, the new one wont work with those
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> bekor: maybe they have a similar image
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> number_k: add it to your users startup items. May help
[22:04] <kv102t> ActionParsnip: oh, same in 10.10  Do you know if this is comming back or anything like that?
[22:04] <bekor> thanks but it is obviously a windows thingy
[22:05] <number_k> ActionParsnip: it has tried to start.. but can't, because it seems it didn't have the correct permissions or something, I'm not really sure, none of the gnome panels came up either, I'm trying to find the startup messages atm
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> kv102t: not sure, i dont pay attention to stuff like that as its on the screen for 3 seconds tops so i dont waste my time
[22:06] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip: I'm installing ...
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> number_k: you should be able to add to your own startup
[22:06] <Sonic132> Broken packages day 2. Now that I got rid of the other broken package. It's not listing another one when I click on the notifications applet on the panel. Any ideas?
[22:07] <Sonic132> *not = now
[22:07] <Firartix> okay ActionParsnip i got something
[22:07] <Firartix> i pretty got a window like that
[22:07] <Sonic132> !broken packages
[22:07] <Firartix> aside from the fact it lists stuff in home instead of applications
[22:07] <Firartix> http://lh4.ggpht.com/_1QSDkzYY2vc/TFdCBoqKp3I/AAAAAAAABqM/wbXf7okOnjM/unity-apps.png
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall nano
[22:08] <Sonic132> One second Action. I'll let you know.
[22:08] <number_k> ActionParsnip: when I try to run it I get "EggSMClient-warning... none of the authentication protocols specified are supported"
[22:09] <tangodown40> does anyone know of a way to remove KDE font hint settings?
[22:09] <number_k> ActionParsnip: I'm fairly sure its related to having tried to enable the autologin, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it! :)
[22:09] <Firartix> sigh
[22:09] <Firartix> um anyone
[22:09] <Firartix> what's the key to bring up the launch window ?
[22:09] <number_k> alt-f2?
[22:09] <Firartix> i thought it was alt-f2 but
[22:09] <Firartix> eeeh
[22:10] <Firartix> it's not working
[22:10] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: 'E: Invalid operation nano'
[22:10] <Firartix> for some reason
[22:10] <gurrney> whats the problem?
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get --reinstall install nano     my bad
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: use a pastebin to give the output
[22:11] <nothingspecial> Firartix: Have you removed gnome-panel?
[22:11] <Firartix> aaah i finally found the way :D
[22:11] <inckie> i followed this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixCompleteVirtualMailSystemHowto but i cannot login. i can see this in my log: http://pastebin.ca/1979907
[22:11] <Firartix> nothingspecial: uh ?
[22:11] <Firartix> no
[22:11] <inckie> and my /home/vmail dir is empty, no mailboxes were created.
[22:11] <Firartix> well i don't quite know what that gnome panel is
[22:11] <Firartix> you mean the left panel ?
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: why do you want access to the whole of the fiesystem, very strange
[22:12] <peppe__> ciao a tutti
[22:12] <nothingspecial> Firartix: never mind, just started looking. Disabling gnome-panel borks Alt-F2
[22:12] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524699/
[22:12] <Firartix> because the file & folders window doesn't show ANYTHING ActionParsnip
[22:12] <zm> If I make a RAID using a nvidia raid controller (the fakey kind), will I be able to access the same raid if I dual boot ubuntu and windows, (using ext2 IFS for windows) or will the drivers not be compatible?
[22:12] <Firartix> there's just one dir, 2 packets, and that's about it
[22:13] <Neo--> a bit late, but still... http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs006.ash2/33686_10150112239388452_636243451_7618575_4723825_n.jpg ;)
[22:13] <Firartix> even though i saved other stuff in my home dir
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: wow, thats pretty crazy, you can populate that by running nautilus and dragging the folders you want to the left panel
[22:13] <Firartix> yea i ran nautilus in a console and added it to panel :|
[22:14] <guampa> i'll repeat my question as i haven't had success in #vbox
[22:14] <guampa> i have an issue with virtualbox, every time i reboot my machine i have to recreate a second "host" adapter
[22:14] <guampa> why the second adapter disappears?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Firartix: good move :)
[22:14] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: Did you read that? http://paste.ubuntu.com/524699/
[22:14] <guampa> all i've found is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>, and doesn't look good
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> guampa: are you the owner of ~/.virtualbox ?
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: yes, you need to satisfy that dep, let me see what I can find
[22:15] <Sonic132> Also, I thought nano was a text editor? Why would I need it?
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: can you give the output of: lsb_release -c   thanks
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: it's in a default install and will highlight the package structure corruption
[22:16] <nameless`> hi there
[22:16] <GeekMan> hello all, i run ubuntu 9.10  I'm planning on upgrading my desktop to the latest version of ubuntu. first i have a few questions to ask. 1. my update manager tells me i need to update to 10.04.1 LTS, but if i remebered right with one of the distros LTS usually wont be upgradeable after you upgrade the release version. I'm not sure about this though I might be going crazy about that. plus the update is older. Also I would agree that do
[22:16] <GeekMan> ing a fresh install is the best way to upgrade but it is time consuming in a way. 2 what is the benfits of a fresh install as to a upgrade. 3. the update to 10.04 is old so would a update still be an option or is it going to cause problems with the kernels and what not. anyways opinions are appreciated
[22:16] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: steven@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -c
[22:16] <Sonic132> Codename:	maverick
[22:16] <GeekMan> :P sry for the large post
[22:16] <nameless`> my question is not at all related to ubuntu, but since there is a lot of people here i'm looking for an alternative to the ipod 160go, is there anyone i can speak with in private about that ?
[22:16] <jrib> GeekMan: you can upgrade LTS
[22:17] <zm> GeekMan: You can easily upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 to 10.10
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> GeekMan: you will need to upgrade to lucid then to maverick, you can tweak LTS so it upgrades to the next release or you can wait for the next LTS after lucid and jump directly from LTS to LTS
[22:17] <jrib> !upgrade > GeekMan
[22:17] <nothingspecial> nameless`: not in private, but I have one
[22:17] <nameless`> nothingspecial: go ahead
[22:17] <nothingspecial> nameless`: what`s up?
[22:17] <brian> Using jolicloud, how do i enable the touchscreen on my computer?
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: 1.6.4-0ubuntu1 is in the main repo so should be installable, try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gvfs
[22:18] <GeekMan> :P thnc ubottu
[22:18] <nameless`> nothingspecial: you have one alternative ?
[22:18] <jrib> brian: this channel is for ubuntu support
[22:18] <GeekMan> or every one
[22:18] <GeekMan> lol
[22:18] <brian> Theres no jolicloud channel
[22:18] <jrib> brian: http://www.jolicloud.com/support
[22:18] <nothingspecial> no, I have an ipod like yours, do you have a problem with yours?
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> brian: /j #jolicloud
[22:19] <nameless`> nothingspecial: hehe you didn't understand me :) i don't want anything from apple, and i'm looking for an alternative to the ipod 160go
[22:19] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524701/
[22:19] <GeekMan> so in general the lts
[22:19] <GeekMan> is
[22:19] <jrib> !enter | GeekMan
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: that is also in the maverick repo
[22:20] <docmur> my sound cards not showing up in the sound app so I when I dmesg I get http://pastebin.com/dBYE4pKA

[22:20] <zaxonspox> hello, how to disable Compiz before plaing on Wine? does Fusion-Icon with desselecting Compiz is enough?
[22:20] <nothingspecial> nameless`: oh I see. I find sandisk, if a little plasticky, to be a great alternative. However you should /j ubuntu-offtopic for this
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> !ot | nameless`
[22:20] <GeekMan> yeah i hit the enter key i was gonna type LTS'S but what ever it means long term support right?
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> !lts | GeekMan
[22:20] <jrib> GeekMan: yes
[22:21] <GeekMan> thanx ill just back up also when im backing up the files for the other users will they be encrypted in anyway
[22:21] <nameless`> nothingspecial: sandisk is 8/4 or 2 go
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> zaxonspox: i'd make a script to switch to metacity, then run the game, when the game is done, rerun compiz
[22:21] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: Well I have all the sources except the CD as it as an acquintance of mines CD. So he has it now.
[22:21] <nameless`> nothingspecial: i'm looking for much more :)
[22:22] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: Perhaps giving you a copy of the contents of sources.list would help solve the mystery?
[22:22] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip, but does Compiz-Icon enough? i have then no compiz process in process lists
[22:22] <nothingspecial> nameless`: Archos then, but like I say /j ubuntu-offtopic
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: you may have to tell apt-get to pull down the debs only then use dpkg to force install them to make the packages square, this kinda of thing is one of the huge weaknesses in package based distros
[22:22] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: My acquintance also said that this is an Alpha version of Maverick.
[22:23] <guampa> ActionParsnip: sry lost connection. Yes i own ~/.virtualbox , i store the guest's xml and vdis in other directories and also own every file
[22:23] <zombiej> is there a setting i can change to make myself superuser? so i  dont have to type my password all the time?
[22:23] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, understand my problem?
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: if you installed the alpha then got fully upgraded, you are using the released OS
[22:23] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: I haven't a clue how to do that. I haven't much experience with dpkg.
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: i havent seen any text from you in ages
[22:23] <nothingspecial> zombiej: Yes, but this is unsupported here, I believe
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: time to learn
[22:24] <Cairo> what's the best IRC client for ubuntu?
[22:24] <zombiej> ahh ok im a noob wasnt sure
[22:24] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: I haven't gotten it fully upgraded. I did get some of them though before it went into broken package hell.
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> guampa: ok thats good
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: is this a clean install?
[22:24] <nothingspecial> zombiej: No problem
[22:25] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: It all started when I got the nvidia-current driver. Then I had a broken package that mentioned it. So I deleted them both and now I have another broken package.
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: there is no best app for anything
[22:25] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: No...not quite. But close.
[22:25] <coz_> Cairo,   I use xchat and I know many that use irssi
[22:25] <deathanatos> Help: I can't drag windows, or switch workspaces, or alt+tab. Alt+Space says "Window manager warning: GtkMenu  failed to grab the pointer."
[22:25] <D4rkCl0ud> hi
[22:25] <guampa> Cairo: KVirc is good imo
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: apt-get has a switch to download only, debs are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[22:25] <D4rkCl0ud> who can help me? i cant install apts
[22:25] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu doesn't have anything similar to system file checker (sfc)?
[22:26] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip you ask me if I am installing or if it's already installed, I answered that I'm installing the ubuntu, and when I boot with the installation pen-drive, in the "Install" screen, where it asks my language, etc, my mouse and my keyboard (hardware) stucks
[22:26] <Notorious_> asked*
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: you are using an OS advocating freedom and choice, yet you wander in here for some strangers to tell you what to like and use? Smacks of microsoft don't you think??
[22:26] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: How would downloading it only help?
[22:26] <Cairo> just a bit
[22:26] <Cairo> buy Empathy is horrible
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: because it won't install so you need dpkg's --force-all option to push the package in and make things square again
[22:26] <Cairo> for me at any rate
[22:26] <duffydack> !irc | Cairo
[22:26] <duffydack> oops
[22:27] <Cairo> lol
[22:27] <Cairo> !ircclient
[22:27] <Sonic132> Ok I think I see what your saying.
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: so if everyone said empathy was the best, would you use it?
[22:27] <duffydack> thats the one
[22:27] <duffydack> lol
[22:27] <Cairo> no
[22:27] <duffydack> there 'was' one somewhere
[22:27] <D4rkCl0ud> i cant download apts, who can help me?
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: so why ask in the first place?
[22:27] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip, but does Compiz-Icon enough? i have then no compiz process in process lists
[22:27] <Cairo> because i wanted to know what was the most popular
[22:27] <guampa> duffydack: it says "as well as IRC clients"
[22:28] <coz_> Cairo,   check out the screenshots of all menioned... you wont get an idea of how they actually feel to use but you may get an idea of what you might prefer
[22:28] <coz_> Cairo, ` :mentioned:
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: the link ubottu gave has a list of available irc clients, try a few and see what you like :)
[22:28] <Cairo> ok
[22:28] <Sonic132> How would I find out the switch to download deb only with apt-get?
[22:28] <Cairo> thanks
[22:28] <Sonic132> !apt-get
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Cairo: popular doesnt mean anything, just like other people's opinions of which app is best for something
[22:28] <duffydack> man apt-get
[22:28] <nothingspecial> Sonic132: man apt-get
[22:28] <GeekMan> ill just back up also when im backing up the files for the other users will they be encrypted in anyway
[22:28] <coz_> Sonic132,  generally apt-get downloads .deb packages and installs them
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: man apt-get
[22:28] <guampa> god i wish i could solve this freakin virtualbox problem
[22:29] <GeekMan> apt get moo
[22:29] <Sonic132> Thanks everyone.
[22:29] <duffydack> --download-only
[22:29] <duffydack> btw
[22:29] <Solved> Is there a terminal command to temporarily disable use of the internet and then a command to get it to work again?
[22:29] <nothingspecial> duffydack: just -d will do
[22:30] <duffydack> sudo ifdown eth0 (ety0 for example)
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> Solved: sudo ifdown interfacename
[22:30] <duffydack> nothingspecial, oh,cool.
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> or: sudo service networking stop
[22:30] <dli> Solved, easier with n-m, like /etc/init.d/network-manager down
[22:30] <nothingspecial> Solved: sudo service networking stop ..... I think, then change stop to start
[22:30] <Solved> ActionParsnip: and how do I get it to work again?
[22:31]  * duffydack doesn't use networkin manager :0
[22:31] <ActionParsnip> Solved: sudo ifup interfacename    or sudo service networking start
[22:31] <Sonic132> --download only didn't quite work. http://paste.ubuntu.com/524705/
[22:31] <GeekMan> cool thats usfull
[22:31] <Sonic132> Still wont let me because of unmet dependencies.
[22:31] <coz_> Sonic132,  then  type  sudo apt-get install -f
[22:32] <Solved> I get error stop: Unknown instance:
[22:32] <Sonic132> If only it were that simple coz_
[22:32] <coz_> Sonic132,  I wasnt paying close attention...what are you installing
[22:32] <Solved> ActionParsnip: I get "stop: unknown instance"
[22:32] <nothingspecial> Solved: because you`ve stopped it
[22:32] <Solved> but internet still works
[22:32] <Solved> i g2g in a min
[22:33] <nothingspecial> Solved: Ah??
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> Solved: pull the interface down and it sould be ok
[22:33] <llutz> Solved: sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[22:33] <Sonic132> coz_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524706/ That's what I get.
[22:33] <guampa> maybe he is connecting via wlan / ppp / usb
[22:33] <duffydack> could also use synaptic to generate download script
[22:33] <Sonic132> I'm trying to reinstall my nvidia drivers and any other upgrades Ubuntu sees fit to grace my presence with.
[22:33] <Solved> llutz: what is command to make it work again
[22:34] <llutz> ifdown/ifup won't work when using networkmanager, because they aren't configured in /etc/network/interfaces
[22:34] <llutz> Solved: sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[22:34] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: If your still there. You could take a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/524706/ as well.
[22:34] <rmaus> question regarding GNU Screen: how do you print the current screen's name or title, or how do you print whether you're currently viewing a screen or not?
[22:35] <Sonic132> Isn't it just like windows 'Print Screen' button?
[22:35] <nothingspecial> Sonic132: I get a not found
[22:35] <dli> rmaus, screen -ls
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: great. run:  sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gvfs*.deb    should do it
[22:35] <cobblewiffle> hi all
[22:35] <goltoof> rmaus,   ctrl-a, t
[22:35] <rmaus> dli, for me that prints all screens on my box, not necessarily the one I'm connected to
[22:36] <cobblewiffle> every time I start some 3d app my whole computer just freezes after a while
[22:36] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524707/ nope :(
[22:36] <dli> cobblewiffle, better, I get GPU hang, if I start compiz
[22:37] <goltoof> *  crt-a w
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> Sonic132: try:  sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gvfs-backends_1.6.4-0ubuntu1.1_i386.deb
[22:37] <rmaus> there we go, ctrl-a w worked
[22:37] <rmaus> thanks guys
[22:37] <cobblewiffle> i mean
[22:37] <cobblewiffle> i can't use any 3d app at all
[22:37] <cobblewiffle> since i put on maverick
[22:38] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and all files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> cobblewiffle: if you run:  lspci | grep -i vga   it will show the video chip and you can websearch for guides
[22:38] <Sonic132> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524708/
[22:38] <Raydiation> hi im having a problem
[22:38] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: Just a sec.
[22:38] <Raydiation> when i boot my pc i got my system partition as sda1
[22:39] <Raydiation> when i shut down adn boot again the same but when i reboot i got it as sdc1
[22:39] <cobblewiffle> did that
[22:39] <cobblewiffle> no dice
[22:39] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, I know you're only one, but if you cannot solve my problem tell me >.<
[22:39] <Crisco> so, today my dell laptop
[22:40] <Crisco> s touch pad was upgraded
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: if i had anything else to add, i would
[22:40] <Crisco> and when I came home from school I found that scrolling along the edge wasn't working anymore
[22:40] <Crisco> and that the tap to click function was turned on
[22:41] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/524715/
[22:41] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, I am not using ubuntu, I'm installing so I don't have acess to the menu you told me
[22:41] <Crisco> I went to fix these problems, but I don't have a touchpad tab in mouse settings
[22:41] <nothingspecial> Raydiation: And the symptoms are?
[22:41] <Sonic132> Ok back. Sorry I'm slow. I'm on a laptop.
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: you do, you can press spacebar when you see the stcikman, then press e to edit the kernel line
[22:42] <Notorious_> oh
[22:42] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, dunno, now you heally helped me! thanks! =D
[22:42] <docmur> Okay so my sound cards works this morning and then I rebooted and now it's gone, I don't get it
[22:43] <Cubby> why ubuntu
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> Cubby: why not
[22:43] <Sonic132> Damn my first ubuntu program crash.
[22:43] <nothingspecial> docmur: I think more info is needed
[22:44] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: Try running "sudo mv /var/cache/apt/archives/ /var/cache/apt/archives-bak" then "sudo apt-get -f install".
[22:44] <ryu_> does anyone know how to connect Eucalyptus up to bare metal Windows servers?
[22:44] <docmur> I literally don't know how to give you guys much more, my sounds card was fine yesturday and now it's missing from the sound app in gnome, when I msg there is probe error
[22:44] <Cubby> eeek sound in linux
[22:45] <nothingspecial> docmur: aplay -l
[22:45] <Cubby> docmur, did you try restart alsa?
[22:45] <docmur> **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
[22:45] <docmur> card 2: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI]
[22:45] <docmur>   Subdevices: 1/1
[22:45] <docmur>   Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[22:45] <FloodBot4> docmur: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:45] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: Ok it's downloading. We'll see what's up when it's done.
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> docmur: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[22:45] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, should I try these boot options all together or one by one?
[22:45] <Crisco> should I upgrade ubuntu to see if that fixes the problem?
[22:45] <nothingspecial> docmur: pastebin
[22:45] <martianlobster> what is the best way to install flash  on  netbook remix 10.04  ?
[22:46] <Cubby> I used USB mem stick to install it on my netbook
[22:46] <Cubby> was very easy
[22:46] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: No errors and the notification for broken packages disappeared off the panel!
[22:46] <Sonic132> Anything I can do to try and make it less likely broken packages will occur?
[22:46] <martianlobster> Cubby:     what  did you have on your usb stick?   something you downloaded from adobe?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: i'd try noe by one, and then combinations, if the system is a sony viao then try: psmouse.proto=imps
[22:47] <aeon-ltd> martianlobster: adobe flash?, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[22:47] <martianlobster> aeon-ltd:    thanks   that sounds  nice and easy
[22:47] <docmur> http://pastebin.com/UT54QuNQ
[22:47] <docmur> Does ubuntu build the sound cards in as modules????
[22:47] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, It's a desktop, Intel Pentium 4, ATI video hardware, should I try anymore or just these three: i8024.reset    i8024.nomux=1     irqpoll ... ?
[22:48] <docmur> because that would be a really really really really bad idea
[22:48] <docmur> as any module is a bad idea
[22:48] <martianlobster> aeon-ltd:    after I install theinstaller,  do I need to run it?  or does the installer run inself automatically and install flash for  me?
[22:48] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: Somehow many of your package files were corrupted, did you have a power outage recently?
[22:48] <Devilz_108> A question : What is the name of the new font in 10.10 I want to DL it for 10.04
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> Notorious_: those are good for mice things, could also try nodma and irqpoll
[22:48] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: No not really. But I am using a laptop. Perhaps someone else killed the battery and it died.
[22:49] <Devilz_108> Anyone?
[22:49] <Notorious_> ActionParsnip, gonna try, thx for the info, cya
[22:49] <ryu_> does anyone know how to connect Eucalyptus up to bare metal Windows servers?
[22:49] <ryu_> Anyone??
[22:49] <Lantizia> Hey, how can I use lvcreate without specifying a size (as in... use all available space in the volume group)
[22:50] <_Neytiri_> is there a active directory liek server on ubuntu?
[22:50] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: Jeez but that seemed like such a simple solution. But your the first one in about a day. That knew how to fix it. Thanks!
[22:50] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: You're welcome.
[22:50] <docmur> http://pastebin.com/gCwKwN5s
[22:50] <docmur> is what dmesg says
[22:51] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: Just to be sure, check your drive's SMART status and run fsck. The drive and filesystem are probably both fine, but it can't hurt to check.
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> docmur: try launching: alsamixer    in a terminal and make sure none of the channels are muted and all are cranked
[22:51] <docmur> cannot open mixer: No such file or directory
[22:52] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: So when I'm not updating stuff. Should I get rid of all the packages? So that there'd be less chance of deb corruption.
[22:52] <nothingspecial> docmur: This may be useful  http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-emu10k1
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: wtg dude
[22:52] <nothingspecial> docmur: or not
[22:53] <Sonic132> Jordan_U: SMART is in Bios correct? Also it outputted a ton of stuff with fsck.
[22:53] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: No, only do it if you actually have a problem.
[22:54] <Jordan_U> Sonic132: You can check the SMART status via System > Administration > Disk Utility. And run fsck by running "sudo touch /forcefsck" then rebooting.
[22:55] <Sonic132> Thanks...I copied that down. So I'll remember.
[22:55] <ZykoticK9> Jordan_U, <slightlyOTbut> do you happen to know if the /forcefsck would work on another distro?  say Fedora?
[22:56] <docmur> that post has to do with building the new driver, but the old driver worked this morning
[22:56] <docmur> so sometime from then till now in a reboot the card stopped working in Ubunut
[22:56] <nothingspecial> bug
[22:57] <docmur> well I may as well compile my own kernel then and do it correctly unlike the one that is bundled with Ubuntu
[22:57] <docmur> they clearly built the sound card in as a module
[22:57] <docmur> which is a very wrong concept
[22:58] <ZykoticK9> docmur, if Ubuntu was to build EVERYTHING into the kernel - it would be use, and a waste for most people.     If everything is built into the kernel then you'll have everything when you need it, so what give up the extra space and just move on it's not a big deal
[23:00] <IdleOne> docmur: please watch the language
[23:03] <hakume> I am trying to connect a Creative Zen V mp3 player to my Ubuntu  desktop which was made in the win2k era.
[23:03] <hakume> It is not recognizing.
[23:03] <hakume> I
[23:04] <sako> hey guys, i am kind of confused on how to get a package onto my ppa.. I want to get http://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze/puppet
[23:04] <hakume> 'm thinking it might be that the player needs to have  USB 2.0
[23:04] <sako> do i have to rebuild it or anything?? theres already a .deb
[23:04] <nasser> Does anyone know of Readon TV programe for linux?
[23:04] <hakume> But I'm not sure.
[23:05] <banisterfiend> how do i find the location of a library ?
[23:05] <banisterfiend> and a header?
[23:05] <banisterfiend> i need to knwo where tcl.h and the tcl library is installed
[23:05] <nasser> Does anyone know of Readon TV programe for linux?
[23:05] <evelyette> hi
[23:06] <evelyette> why do I get seg fault when I try to do "sudo su" ?
[23:06] <gh0stwheel> anyone understand how to use openbox-xdgmenu?
[23:06] <sachael> are the cool black popups in ubuntu from a normal gnome theme or some ubuntu magic? does anyone know a similar theme with kde-styled popups?
[23:06] <obsidieth> hm
[23:06] <clincher_> how do you make a partition active on ubuntu?
[23:06] <obsidieth> they're not gnome
[23:06] <obsidieth> i forget what its called, but you can use them in any wm/dm
[23:06] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, not sure why you're getting a segfault (probably not a good sign) BUT use "sudo -i" if you REALLY need a root prompt (you probably don't)
[23:07] <sachael> obsidieth: I guess I could. I'm wondering if there is a gnome theme that integrates with kde, popups including
[23:07] <banisterfiend> HOW do i find the location of a library??
[23:07] <grimgrim> locate
[23:08] <rypervenche> I'm having a problem with running something very simple in a shell script. Can I get someone's help with it? It's rather specific.
[23:08] <grimgrim> ls /usr/lib* | grep -i name
[23:08] <grimgrim> etc etc
[23:08] <obsidieth> find, too.
[23:08] <gh0stwheel> sachael, im pretty sure kde has its own popup notifications
[23:08] <evelyette> ZykoticK9, works, but still curious why su is causing segfault
[23:08] <obsidieth> evelyette: can you su to other users
[23:08] <evelyette> obsidieth, no
[23:08] <sachael> gh0stwheel: sorry, I'm talking about the tooltip popups, they are black as well
[23:08] <obsidieth> how strange
[23:09] <obsidieth> does the md5hash of your su binary match what it should
[23:09] <sachael> gh0stwheel: kde has these cool blue rounded tooltips as well
[23:09] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, your not really suppose to run that command anyways - i'm kinda glad it's segfaulting.  best of luck though - root shell is almost never required, if you need it you're probably doing something incorrectly.
[23:09] <obsidieth> is there really a functional difference between sudo su and sudo -i.
[23:09] <evelyette> ZykoticK9, no I'm not, I just don't want to type sudo always
[23:10] <evelyette> obsidieth, how to check?
[23:10] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, lol my point exactly ;)
[23:10] <obsidieth> meh.
[23:10] <kid__> hi
[23:11] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, do what you want man - it's your system!  (i used to log in root under gentoo all the time, on freebsd too - i just don't see a need for it anymore).  Enjoy Ubuntu, and be extra careful when you type things!
[23:11] <kid__> my hibernate button is missing
[23:11] <obsidieth> got acpi packages installed.
[23:11] <StrangeCharm> how can i start a program in the background from the command line?
[23:11] <mlq> hello, is it possible to update from ubuntu 6.06 directly to ubuntu 10.10?
[23:12] <obsidieth> sure
[23:12] <obsidieth> with &
[23:12] <obsidieth> or pipe it to dev null
[23:12] <evelyette> ZykoticK9, yes I'm using freebsd and gentoo too, that's why I think it's stupid that I need to type sudo
[23:12] <Sir_Konrad> evelyette, get used to it.
[23:12] <gh0stwheel> mlq, that would likely be a disaster
[23:12] <obsidieth> its stupid that it segfaults.
[23:12] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, no not a good idea at all.
[23:12] <blackshirt> mlq: i think it is possible
[23:12] <aeon-ltd> martianlobster: sorry for the late reply, i do not know for sure
[23:12] <mlq> gh0stwheel: that does not matter - it is just a virtualbox :)
[23:13] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, I recommend going to 10.04 if you need LTS
[23:13] <blackshirt> mlq: with a lot of attention sure
[23:13] <ZykoticK9> evelyette, that's what excellent about ubuntu actually - it is very much a departure from the regular "unix" way of thinking about "linux" ;)  sorry i'm OT.
[23:13] <rypervenche> I'm having problem with something in a shell script that I made to play a video game. I have it "killall ibus-daemon" since the game can't play with it on, then I run the java game, and afterward I have it set to "ibus-daemon --xim &" then "disown". This works when I run it in a terminal and when I double click on the .sh file and choose "run". However when I run it from a launcher or double click on it then choose "Run in terminal" it does execute "ib
[23:13] <rypervenche> us-daemon" once I close the game. Any help?
[23:13] <martianlobster> aeon-ltd:    i just tried it out,  it installed without any fuirther work
[23:13] <obsidieth> probably be bumpy.
[23:13] <aeon-ltd> martianlobster: good :)
[23:13] <martianlobster> ye :)
[23:13] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: so an upgrad to 10.04 is easily doable?
[23:13] <obsidieth> sudo's benefits dont lie in dump you into a root shell, theres more to it.
[23:13] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, Doable? Yes, but I seriously recommend formatting.
[23:13] <banisterfiend> ok
[23:14] <swim> I just installed 10.04 and for some reason when I have number lock on, the right half of the letters part of my keyboard does number and wierd stuff..  i've ran 10.04 on a computer exactly like this before and never had issues..  can somebody help??
[23:14] <banisterfiend> can someone give me an exact command to type to locate the tcl.h file somewhere on my system? (sorry not experinced with linux)
[23:14] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, it's a disaster if you skip versions like that.
[23:14] <blackshirt> mlq: i think upgrade was possible directly..ubuntu is like debian system
[23:14] <jimisrvrox> id like I know how I could start Vino through ssh...right now im using TightVNC and its just not working at all..I can get a connection to my ubuntu box but I cant click on anything or move anything at all..
[23:14] <guampa> evelyette: you can just "sudo -s" if you want to stay root
[23:15] <ZykoticK9> banisterfiend, it might not be there!  Try "locate tcl.h" - my system doesn't find it!
[23:15] <mlq> blackshirt: ok, i guess i will give it a shot - is there, besides adding the new sources, something i should care about?
[23:15] <clincher> how do you make a partition active?
[23:15] <Sir_Konrad> blackshirt, I wouldn't do that...
[23:15] <banisterfiend> ZykoticK9: how do i refresh the locate database?
[23:15] <Sir_Konrad> good luck mlq.
[23:15] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: it is just a virtualbox image, i did a snapshot :)
[23:15] <ZykoticK9> banisterfiend, better yet - do a full search "find / -name tcl.h 2>/dev/null"
[23:16] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, oh LOL! I thought you must have been dealing with a server or something. XD

[23:16] <rypervenche> us-daemon" once I close the game. Any help?
[23:16] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: ok :D - its just that i want to try if this would work - so i installed myself now a clean 6.06
[23:16] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, ok then, give it your best shot. Hope it works. ;)
[23:17] <guampa> i'm having issues with virtualbox "host" adapters, the second adapter just disappears on each reboot, and i have to recreate it from the UI
[23:17] <guampa> it still shows up in VirtualBox.xml though
[23:18] <Sir_Konrad> guampa, sure it's not a VBOX issue?
[23:18] <Sir_Konrad> guampa, did you install the Additions properly?
[23:18] <teemo> im not seeing a boot screen, while ubuntu is booting, is that normal? Is it an option?
[23:18] <ZykoticK9> banisterfiend, no tcl.h on my system.  you could try installing the dev version of tcl (i don't have any knowledge of tcl really, don't use it myself)
[23:18] <tgywa> Hi
[23:19] <tgywa> Is there anyone here ... familier with ...checkinstall
[23:19] <_16BitSubsystem_> tgywa: hi
[23:19] <guampa> Sir_Konrad: as to the additions, they relate to a guest instance, the host adapters are global to virtualbox (the second host nic goes away without even starting a vm)
[23:19] <lucas__> Hi everyone. I want to format a partition on usb flash drive for use as casper-rw. Any ideas for the best file system?
[23:19] <tgywa> _16BitSubsystem_, hi
[23:19] <clincher> how do you make a partition active? i cant seem to find an option for it
[23:20] <Sir_Konrad> hmm... ok guampa, you seem to know a good bit more about VBOX then I do. :P
[23:20] <guampa> i', asking in #vbox too, i still can't determine it's a vbox or ubuntu issue, still trying
[23:20] <blackshirt> lucas_: it was for live system ??
[23:20] <guampa> Sir_Konrad: maybe, thanks anyway for tryin'
[23:21] <Sir_Konrad> guampa, no problem, just wish I could do more. :\
[23:21] <tgywa> _16BitSubsystem_,  I am compiling PHP 5.2 from source .. how can I get it in .deb format ... some one told me that I can use checkinstall tool ...
[23:21] <lucas__> blackshirt: yes. I used a customized live cd made by remastersys. IO seemed really SLOW on ext4 after time
[23:22] <blackshirt> squashfs filesystem maybe..but it was ro
[23:22] <luiso88> Hola a todos
[23:22] <blakkheim> !es
[23:22] <teemo> is Xsplash the software i should install if i want a ubuntu boot screen?
[23:22] <sako> hey guys, how can i put an existing debian package into my own ubuntu ppa?
[23:22] <luiso88> me gustaria saber si qlguien puede ayudarme a ver si puedo hacer que el sonido en ubuntu
[23:22] <luiso88> se me escuché mas nitido...
[23:23] <blakkheim> luiso88: ingles
[23:23] <lucas__> blackshirt: squashfs was for the system already. Was thinking about the persistent partition. What about btrfs?
[23:23] <luiso88> porque me da coraje que tenga que irme a windows
[23:23] <sako> !es
[23:23] <clincher> luiso88, intenta preguntar en #ubuntu-es

[23:24] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: when i directly get the maverick package list, the old apt-get fails parsing them
[23:24] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, hmm...
[23:24] <swim> my keyboard doesn't work right with number lock on
[23:24] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, would you mind jumping updates?
[23:25] <blackshirt> lucas_: yes, it was greats filesytem available for linux..but i have no experience with it
[23:25] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, you could jump to 7.04 > 8.04 > 9.04 > 10.04 > 10.10. :P
[23:25] <ynk> Can we ask questions about editing the linux kernel here?
[23:26] <guampa> ynk: maybe ##linux is better for that
[23:26] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: this would be too boring :D
[23:26] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, LOL! :D
[23:26] <ynk> guampa: thanks, pal.
[23:26] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, you could grab a new version of apt...
[23:26] <guampa> np buddy
[23:26] <clincher> can someone please answer how to mark a partition as active?
[23:26] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, but seriously, you'd be replacing 50% of the system just doing that.
[23:27] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: thats what i checked right now, the deps are qute huge
[23:27] <guampa> clincher: from the command line you can use the fdisk program
[23:27] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, yeah...
[23:27] <lucas__> blackshirt: Thanks anyway! I will put it on the test to see how it does
[23:27] <swim> fresh install 10.04 on hp pavilion dv9500 has faulty keyboard with number lock
[23:27] <NickyL1> my ethernet card on my desktop stopped working suddenly this morning.  I can not bring up my router through its IP address.  When I look at the Network Manager, it says that "wired network connection is active".
[23:27] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, are you doing this just for fun? :P
[23:28] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: yes
[23:28] <duffydack> clincher, or could use the Disk Utility.  fdisk and 'a' to mark bootable anyhow.
[23:29] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, ok. ;)
[23:30] <clincher> duffydack: ah, didnt know "bootable" meant active
[23:31] <Jef91> Anyone know if there is a way to change to a different tty in virtual box?
[23:32] <swim> 10.04, my keyboard isn't working right when NUM LOCK is on
[23:32] <Sir_Konrad> mlq, seems like a lot of trouble to do. When I get that itch to do something I usually get involved with either helping with Ubuntu or take a small distro (aka Puppy) and turning it into a full fledged desktop OS.
[23:32] <Sir_Konrad> swim, turn NUMLOCK off.
[23:32] <duffydack> Jef91, host key and Fx
[23:32] <swim> are you serious
[23:33] <Sir_Konrad> swim, um... yes. What kind of keyboard?
[23:33] <Jef91> diffydack Fx?
[23:33] <Sir_Konrad> swim, desktop or laptop?
[23:33] <Jef91> duffydack Fx?
[23:33] <Diamondcite> swim: Laptop? Desktop? Keyboard with an actual number pad?
[23:33] <swim> laptop
[23:33] <duffydack> F(number)
[23:33] <swim> yeah, it's got a standard keyboard setup
[23:33] <Jef91> thanks duffydack
[23:33] <Diamondcite> swim: So it has the number pad on the side?
[23:34] <Diamondcite> swim: If so how does it 'not work' with numlock?
[23:34] <duffydack> Jef91, host as in the host key assigned to vbox.
[23:34] <duffydack> Jef91, right ctrl by def.
[23:34] <swim> Diamondcite: yes, numbers on the side
[23:34] <Sir_Konrad> Diamondcite, I doubt. Sounds like an X issue.
[23:34] <swim> Diamondcite: when num lock is on, the letters display numbers and funny characters
[23:34] <Diamondcite> Sir_Konrad: I'm more wondering if his keyboard was mis-detected and assumed the wrong key layout..
[23:35] <Sir_Konrad> swim, so a letter will display a number?
[23:35] <swim> i'm changed the layout to a few other things since i noticed this and none of the other layouts work either
[23:35] <avo> hey guys, im not even kidding, but my spacebar is not registering as a space in ubuntu lucid. (I'm typing this because I have a space copied to my clip board..) Ubuntu recognizes the spacebar, the text entry boxes in GTK flash for a bitwhen i hit them. How can I fix this?
[23:35] <swim> Sir_Konrad the letters on the right half of the keyboard will all display number and astericks and whatnot
[23:35] <avo> Woah, this is interesting, if i do shift-space it works..!
[23:36] <Sir_Konrad> swim, a lot of laptop use the letter section of the keyboard as a keypad.
[23:36] <Sir_Konrad> swim, check those keys. They probably have little numbers on them.
[23:37] <_16BitSubsystem_> NickyL1: I had the same problem but with a modem HUAWEI E156B
[23:37] <Sir_Konrad> actually one of my laptops has that... :\
[23:37] <swim> I actually just replaced a computer just like this, same model, with this one, the previous one I had ran both 10.04 and 10.10 without any problems like this
[23:37] <NickyL1> _16BitSubsystem_ how did you fix the problem?
[23:38] <swim> no numbers, my last computers motherboard had went out so i replaced it with exact same model, old one never had this issue...
[23:38] <Sir_Konrad> swim, check your BIOS then. Maybe you applied keyboard settings there.
[23:38] <_16BitSubsystem_> avo: maybe the problem is in your keyboard
[23:38] <avo> _16BitSoft_,  Like a hardware thing?
[23:38] <_16BitSubsystem_> avo: yeah
[23:38] <swim> hmmm..  i'm not familiar with how to do that on ubuntu..  is there a bios update app in ubuntu???
[23:39] <avo> _16BitSoft_,  Certainly not, it only happens in GTK interfaces.. e,g, gnome-do isn't affected
[23:39] <Fito> friends: I have a problem with Function Keys..FN+Fx (suspend, volume works. Other like brigth control , wifi control doesn't)
[23:39] <_16BitSubsystem_> NickyL1: I couldn't
[23:39] <_16BitSubsystem_> NickyL1: sorry
[23:39] <clincher> is it normal that i dont have a menu.lst file in the boot/grub directory?
[23:39] <Sir_Konrad> swim, no reboot and press F11 or whatever key.
[23:39] <swim> okay, what will i be looking for???
[23:39] <Sir_Konrad> swim, it'll tell you which to press. ;)
[23:39] <swim> once i've done that???
[23:39] <swim> okay..
[23:39] <Sir_Konrad> swim, let me check...
[23:40] <Fito> swim: Try to press CTRL + Enter ..and test again

[23:44] <docmur> okay so how do I add a boot option to grub
[23:44] <TiK> docmur: /etc/default/grub
[23:44] <noname> Sir_Konrad:yes
[23:44] <blakkheim> docmur: you need to replace grub2 with the old grub if you want that
[23:45] <Sir_Konrad> noname, here's a lot easier way.
[23:45] <noname> Sir_Konrad:cool ,can u guid me plz
[23:45] <Sir_Konrad> System>Preferences>Appearance

[23:47] <Leijon7> hello.  I installed Ubuntu on my desktop pc some days ago, but i could not get Open GL work, neither access the tv out
[23:47] <k-rad> my firefox isn't launching and i've no idea how to revive it, at the very least i'd hope to revive it without losing my bookmarks.  is -safe-mode the way to do that ?   it's been so long since i've used -safe-mode
[23:47] <Sir_Konrad> hope it works for you noname
[23:48] <Sir_Konrad> brb...
[23:48] <Leijon7> when i try to reinstall windows XP, the installation disk don't find the disk
 i need to donwload this theme ,but i'm confusing which file is the theme can u check the link :http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Dark+Matrix+Theme?content=134081
[23:48] <k-rad> i got itunes 8.0 working just fine under the latest maverick repo wine, i'm hoping it supports audiobooks
[23:50] <goltoof> k-rad, del.icio.us extension for firefox... if you never want to lose your bookmarks... just my $.02
[23:50] <k-rad> goltoof, i don't necessarily want to share my bookmarks though
[23:50] <Baikonur> what's good for ubuntu netbook edition
[23:51] <goltoof> k-rad,   understood. you don't have to share them though, there's an option to make links private
[23:51] <Spacemonkeyadb> Anyone use smxi when installing linux? I used it and seem to like it...
[23:52] <cruz> This is my first time using Ubuntu, and I must say it is very nice and easy
[23:52] <goltoof> i just love it, haven't lost a bookmark in years
[23:52] <scotly1234> cruz: thank you. I can take most of the credit for the nice and easy.
[23:52] <cruz> I use to use Mandrake, and Suse. thanks scotly1234
[23:53] <scotly1234> cruz: Yeah, Suse used to be the nicest looking distro (IMHO) and easiest to use, but Ubuntu quickly caught up in looks and usability.
[23:53] <Spacemonkeyadb> What about the distro Ubuntu is based on?  Debian!
[23:54] <mlq> Sir_Konrad: ok, i guess i will give it another try tomorrow - i know build a newer apt version, but the checksums are failing :\
[23:54] <scotly1234> Spacemonkeyadb: Debian? debian who?
[23:54] <cruz> Yeah, I remember when Ubuntu had to be compiled and the copied to a CD if I remember right.  That was my first experience with it and didn't like it
[23:54] <cruz> then*
[23:55] <Spacemonkeyadb> scott...without debian...there would b no Ubuntu
[23:56] <cruz> my question is how do you set the su password
[23:56] <Ninja> ubuntu is the only level distro that i can trust myself with
[23:56] <cyphase> why why oh why does firefox not load pdf's inline using evince?
[23:57] <obsidieth> cruz: what are you su'ing to
[23:57] <Jordan_U> !noroot | cruz
[23:57] <blakkheim> cruz: watch out asking that here, they will get mad
[23:57] <Ninja> cause they're all too complicated
[23:57] <scotly1234> Spacemonkeyadb: I was kidding.
[23:57] <cruz> ok my mistake
[23:57] <dmoore> #swarm
[23:57] <obsidieth> having a root password is fine
[23:57] <rypervenche> You just need to know what you're doing.
[23:58] <obsidieth> !root
[23:58] <Scunizi> cruz: if you need extended root access use sudo -i ... don't forget to "exit" before closing the terminal
[23:58] <Jordan_U> obsidieth: It is not supported here.
[23:58] <obsidieth> i didnt say it was supported here.
[23:58] <Spacemonkeyadb> @scott...I thought so.
[23:59] <Ninja> to make a root password, first get to a root shell (easy, just "sudo bash") and then type "passwd" and set a root password
[23:59] <cruz> got it guys, thanks for the info
[23:59] <obsidieth> just for the love of god, dont set it as a misc female name or a 'password'.


[14:59] <dazza5000> Greetings - Is anyone available to help me troubleshoot a unity/mir issue in 13.10?
[19:37] <coder2> hi all, i have dell studio 1558 model running ubuntu 13.04 , whenever i try to change the brightness, the system hangs and screen goes black. Can anyone tell the reason behind it or its solution?
