[15:33] <malcolmci> Hey guys, what's the most-supported, most-stable method of installing flash on AMD64?
[15:33] <wuione> Like AIM.....etc.
[15:33] <bazhang> wuione, use pidgin empathy or eva
[15:33] <rww> malcolmci: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. The 64-bit plugin that used to exist isn't on Adobe's website any more and has known exploited security vulnerabilities.
[15:33] <wuione> I'm chinese.But pidgin nothing.....
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> malcolmci: flashplugin-nonfree or you can get 10.0 with the 64bit flash PPA
[15:34] <VeovisMuaddib> malcolmci: I'm not an expert, but I'm given to understand that would be an #apt-get install flash-nonfree
[15:34] <armelques> !armel | armelques
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> wuione: what protocal do you use for chat?
[15:34] <malcolmci> Is flashplugin-nonfree 10.1 ?
[15:34] <flupke> I fixed my sound problem by installing the latest alsa drivers. Now I see all my inputs/outpus in alsamixer, but not in the pulse sound prefs ; how do I tell pulse to map all the alsa I/O devices ?
[15:34] <BluesKaj> Pici, ok , it's not such a big deal but there was atime when i preferred a cloak, most of the regulars here know where i live anyway , it's the published IP adddy that used to bother me :)
[15:34] <VeovisMuaddib> malcolmci: Never mind what I said, use rww's suggestion, I got the wrong package name
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> malcolmci: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
[15:34] <wuione> I'm sorry,I think 80.
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> malcolmci: flashplugin-nonfree is 10.1 32bit running through a 64bit wrapper
[15:35] <VeovisMuaddib> ActionParsnip: Really?  Was not aware of that, good to kno
[15:35] <VeovisMuaddib> know
[15:35] <wuione> I work in xubuntu 10.04
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> VeovisMuaddib: yep, nspluginwrapper
[15:36] <VeovisMuaddib> Anyone know a good way to move GRUB from the MBR to the Ubuntu root partition, and restore Windows 7's bootloader to the MBR?
[15:36] <wuione> Who come from China?
[15:37] <hemza> hello all .. usually i can not use internet, so how to install GDM and GDM them

[15:37] <Slifer> lol it's tough yeh
[15:37] <nobarking_> does ffmpeg take advantage of the GPU?
[15:38] <abhi_nav> !cn | wuione here you get all from china:

[15:38] <wuione> Oh,thanks!Bye-bye!
[15:38] <abhi_nav> bazhang, ohh my mistake i ddnt read above post
[15:38] <hotfloppy> Slifer: just with a command line looks environment
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> purvesh: http://serverfault.com/questions/25227/why-is-php-script-downloaded-instead-of-executed
[15:39] <bazhang> abhi_nav, no worries
[15:39] <Vinn0> anyone know if apparmour is on by default???
[15:39] <jpds> Vinn0: Yes.
[15:39] <hotfloppy> irssi.. typos :P
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> VeovisMuaddib: you will need to boot to your Win7 install CD and run some commands in recovery mode, ask in ##windows on how
[15:39] <Vinn0> jpds: just desktop version or server version too?
[15:40] <hemza> can i download and install Gnome Desktop Manager (GDM) manually
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> hemza: you could use the desktop CD as a repo and install the packages from that
[15:41] <VeovisMuaddib> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll look there for the Windows bootloader.  Okay, what about moving GRUB?  Any ideas?
[15:41] <hemza> How PLz ...
[15:41] <hemza> wich cd
[15:41] <hemza> ??
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> VeovisMuaddib: you will need to install the windows boot loader again, you can then boot to the ubuntu live cd and install grub wherever you want it to go
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> hemza: the desktop install CD for ubuntu
[15:43] <hemza> CD which i use first time to install ubuntu
[15:44] <kjele> ActionParsnip: alternative cd not the desktop
[15:44] <malcolmci> rww, ActionParsnip, VeovisMuaddib: thanks, installing flashplugin-nonfree worked a charm. Just didn't want to screw something up following outdated documentation, thanks :)
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> hemza: if its the desktop one then yes, i dont believe the server CD has stuff like that on
[15:45] <hemza> ActionParsnip, tell me method
[15:45] <augdawg> does anyione know how to enable the graphical boot screen in 10.04???
[15:46] <kjele> augdawg: The purple tingie?
[15:46] <Bisu[Shield]> this is related to GPG: very important question here: when I encrypt a file I use the Name of the key, email addresses are more unique but if I keep importing public keys wont the names of public keys collide? nothing stopping public keys from having the same name right
[15:46] <purvesh> I tried so many time this Question, when i try to open php file browser say's for Saving the file except generating the Php script via apache, even everything installed properly, may be after upgrading ubuntu to 10.04 m facing this problem, Please some one help me ?
[15:46] <augdawg> kjele the word ubuntu with the dots and stuff
[15:46] <eboyjr> Can anyone recommend how to make a rescue bootable USB in Ubuntu? Is there a way to not install the whole Ubuntu desktop on it and only essential commandline utilities? (quickly) Or is there a good distro that someone can recommend for me to install on my flash drive?
[15:46] <kjele> augdawg: in /etc/default/grub
[15:47] <augdawg> eboyjr use unetbootin.
[15:47] <augdawg> okay thanks kjele. what do i do?
[15:47] <pelmen> guys, my tty2-6 consoles are not centered, and are somewhere at bottom right, beneath my screen for some reason. So when i switch to any console, i cannot see it. 10.04 nvidia
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> hemza: you may have the entry in sources.list you can uncomment that line
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> eboyjr: there is usb-creator-gtk as part of a default install
[15:47] <Dr_Willis> eboyjr:  theres a ubuntui recovery variant. and otehr rescue live cd/usb vasriants. depending on you rneeds
[15:47] <kjele> augdawg: Do you see it says something about GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= ?
[15:48] <Dr_Willis> eboyjr:  check  disrtowatch.com - they mention most of the variants,
[15:48] <bastid_raZor> augdawg: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"  is what it should look like
[15:48] <augdawg> kjele bastid_raZor where is it
[15:49] <Dr_Willis> eboyjr:  the ubuntu-rescue (recovery?) variant i recall is CLI only
[15:49] <Slifer> hello all
[15:49] <augdawg> oh i found it. kjele bastid_raZor
[15:49] <kjele> augdawg: line 9 in /etc/default/grub
[15:49] <Slifer> i have done the sudo apt-get install irssi ( in the terminal )
[15:49] <Slifer> and now wen i type irssi
[15:49] <Slifer> it doesnt come
[15:49] <augdawg> kjele what do i change it to?
[15:49] <Slifer> do you know y plz ?
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> Slifer: what is output?
[15:49] <Bjartr> When inside GNU screen is there a way to get the current window title like you can get the current window number with $WINDOW? I'd like to have the current window title in my shell prompt.
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> Slifer:  i perfer 'weechat' :) but use what you like
[15:50] <kjele> augdawg: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[15:50] <eboyjr> Dr_Willis: Cool thank you very much :)
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> Slifer:  you sure it installed? dident get any error messages?
[15:50] <Slifer> no error
[15:50] <Slifer> it says
[15:50] <Pici> !enter | Slifer
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> Slifer: try deleteing the .irssi folder in $HOME
[15:50] <augdawg> kjele oh sorry but thats already what it is
[15:50] <jacobian> I'm trying to upgrade from 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS, however my update manager is not giving me an option to upgrade
[15:50] <Slifer> go to the website of irssi to do the
[15:50] <Slifer> HOW-TO-THING
[15:50] <Dr_Willis> Bjartr:  check the output of the 'set' command to see what variables are set. There may be one in there you could use.
[15:50] <VeovisMuaddib> I'm trying to move grub, isn't there a utility called grub?  I type sudo grub but it says that it's not installed and how to install it, apt-getting it threatens to remove something called grub-pc, but typing sudo grub-pc does nothing either
[15:50] <kjele> augdawg: What graphic driver are you using?
[15:50] <jacobian> Is there some way I can manually force an upgrade?
[15:51] <Slifer> sorry Pici
[15:51] <augdawg> um im not sure
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> jacobian: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> Slifer:  so irssi is working.. but tells you to go do somthing?
[15:51] <augdawg> im using an atom.
[15:51] <augdawg> kjele
[15:51] <kjele> augdawg: Think those use intel so you should have kms enable
[15:52] <kjele> augdawg: Well do an "sudo update-grub" to be sure
[15:52] <eboyjr> Dr_Willis: Do you know of a simple good liveCD version of a distro that's under 150 MB's? Ubuntu-rescue-remix is 177 MBs
[15:52] <Slifer> the irssi thing is in the window of the Terminal and asking me to go to its website ( irssi.org ).. For the truly impatient people who don't like any automatic window creation or closing, just type: /MANUAL-WINDOWS
[15:52] <augdawg> kjele one sec
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> eboyjr:  tiny core linux = 11 mb. install what you want.
[15:52] <pelmen> guys, my tty2-6 consoles are not centered, and are somewhere at bottom right, beneath my screen for some reason. So when i switch to any console, i cannot see it. 10.04 nvidia
[15:52] <jacobian> I suspect my problem has something to do with firewalls.  I'm behind a firewall and I have placed the appropriate aquired for apt-get, but do I also need one for the upgrade manager?
[15:52] <Slifer> where do i have to type the /MANUAL-WINDOWS command Dr_Willis
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> eboyjr:   I dont see a reason for the 150mb limit. :) so ive never paied attention tio the sises
[15:53] <augdawg> kjele i did it.
[15:53] <Dr_Willis> Slifer:  in the irssi interface. if its a irssi command
[15:53] <kjele> pelmen: Can't you center it with the monitor?
[15:53] <eboyjr> Dr_Willis: alright lol well im in a bit of a hurry
[15:53] <pelmen> kjele:
[15:53] <kjele> augdawg: Try a restart then
[15:53] <pelmen> kjele: no

[15:59] <ionut> where can i find the grub files?
[15:59] <kjele> augdawg: Strange. You sure you did not install any graphic driver?

[16:06] <etrisnanto> hi all
[16:06] <augdawg> kjele so youre saying it should be working?
[16:06] <jacobian> yarg this is frustrating.   Is there some way to trick the upgrade-manager into telling me about a release?
[16:07] <Slifer> what does cli mean aeon-ltd  ?
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> Slifer: http://www.irssi.org/themes
[16:07] <kjele> augdawg: no. "sudo update-initramfs -u"

[16:07] <kjele> augdawg: yes
[16:07] <Slifer> ok
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> jacobian: do you want to upgrade to the next release?
[16:08] <jacobian> I'm trying to go from 8.04 LTS -> 10.04 LTS
[16:08] <aeon-ltd> Slifer: command line interface
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | jacobian

[16:08] <augdawg> kjele go check the pastebin now.
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> jacobian: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LucidUpgrades
[16:09] <kjele> augdawg: I need the link
[16:09] <augdawg> oh one sec
[16:09] <jacobian> The problem is that I don't get any proposed updates
[16:09] <augdawg> kjele http://paste.ubuntu.com/462564/
[16:09] <jacobian> ie. update-manager --proposed  does not offer me an update
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> jacobian: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade
[16:10] <aeon-ltd> jacobian: gksudo update-manager -c
[16:10] <kjele> augdawg: Could you paste the content of /etc/modprobe.d/1915-kms.conf if you have the file?
[16:10] <augdawg> kjele yeah ill try one sec
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> jacobian: or you can download the alternate ISO, mount it and there is a command to upgrade on the ISO
[16:11] <jacobian> "sudo do-release-upgrade" hangs, presumably because of my firewall
[16:11] <terry_> How to run sites meant only for internet explorer?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> terry_: what browser?
[16:11] <terry_> Chrome
[16:11] <augdawg> kjele i dont have it
[16:11] <jacobian> I might have to try the approach of d/l the iso
[16:11] <mr_lou> Can anyone guide me in the right direction? I cannot play 3gp videos. The sound-codec is missing, and I can't seem to find one anywhere. I've tried the medibuntu ones, but they're not helping. 3gp videos are recorded by mobile phones.
[16:12] <terry_> How to run sites meant only for internet explorer?
[16:12] <webdawg_> tasksel is the DEVIL!
[16:12] <terry_> on chrome
[16:12] <mr_chris> terry_: I normally use VirtualBox with Windows XP installed.
[16:12] <webdawg_> it removed massive important parts of my system.
[16:12] <bastid_raZor> terry_: try agentswitcher plugin for FireFox
[16:12] <e-DIO-t> chrome is Evil!
[16:12] <jacobian> gksudo update-manager -c, doesn't find a release either.
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> terry_: try: chromium-browser --user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)"

[16:12] <kjele> augdawg: "sudo echo options i915 modeset=1 > /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf"
[16:12] <mr_chris> terry_: Of course you could also spoof the user agent in Chrome.
[16:12] <bastid_raZor> kjele: that won't work
[16:12] <e-DIO-t> well, actually evil is great :)
[16:13] <jacobian> Is there some way to specify fthe proxy for do-release-upgrade?
[16:13] <e-DIO-t> but it's evil anyway
[16:13] <kjele> bastid_raZor: Have to force it somehow
[16:13] <terry_> Can anyone guide me step by step?
[16:13] <bastid_raZor> kjele: echo options blahblah | sudo tee -a /etc/modpro....
[16:13] <aeon-ltd> jacobian: did you run that in alt-f2?
[16:13] <augdawg> kjele it says permission denied
[16:14] <augdawg> it didnt ask me for my password either kjeel
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> terry_: copy the command, press alt+f2, paste command and press enter, not hard
[16:14] <augdawg> kjele
[16:14] <Slifer> ActionParsnip:  how do i 'upload' a theme plz ?
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Slifer: no idea, i dont use irssi
[16:14] <mr_chris> Can anyone tell me how to switch to 16 bit color depth in Ubuntu Lucid? I know I can create an xorg.conf file but I understand that is considered deprecated.
[16:14] <aeon-ltd> augdawg: you might need sudo
[16:15] <augdawg> aeon-ltd i put in sudo and it never asked for my password
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> mr_chris: it kinda is but if an xorg.conf file is present then it will  be obeyed
[16:15] <jacobian> aeon-ltd: yes
[16:15] <Slifer> what do you use ActionParsnip  plz ?
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> Slifer: pidgin
[16:15] <mr_chris> ActionParsnip: Is there a generally accepted "new" way of doing it?
[16:15] <jacobian> aeon-ltd: It returns immediately but doesn't appear to do anything
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> mr_chris: not sure
[16:15] <mr_chris> ActionParsnip: Ok. Thanks.
[16:16] <aeon-ltd> jacobian: do it in a terminal but replace gksudo with sudo

[16:16] <jacobian> aeon-ltd: It hangs, presumably, again, because of the firewall
[16:16] <jacobian> It apparenty doesn't read apt's proxy info.
[16:17] <jacobian> latis:/etc/apt$ sudo do-release-upgrade
[16:17] <jacobian> Checking for a new ubuntu release
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> jacobian: check /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades   shows lts, not normal, or try switching it to normal
[16:17] <mr_chris> terry_: Your best be for IE only websites is to just use IE. Go to VirtualBox's website and follow the installation instructions. Then Install Windows XP. Anytime you encounter an IE only site you can boot into that Virtual Machine, do your business, then shut windows down.
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> !cron | Unirgy
[16:17] <aeon-ltd> jacobian: does it find 8.10 through reg methods?
[16:17] <kjele> augdawg: you are right can't pipe it
[16:17] <jacobian> aeon-ltd: No
[16:17] <kjele> bastid_raZor: Right can't pipe it
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> aeon-ltd: 8.10 is long dead dude
[16:17] <Unirgy> ActionParsnip: the 2nd link is broken
[16:17] <augdawg> kjele so it wont work?
[16:18] <bastid_raZor> kjele: echo options blahblah | sudo tee -a /etc/modpro....  augdawg
[16:18] <kjele> augdawg: echo "options i915 modeset=1" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/i915-kms.conf
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> Unirgy: isnt it just a file in a folder
[16:18] <stongo> hello
[16:18] <bastid_raZor> kjele: do not use quotes
[16:19] <Unirgy> ActionParsnip: i've tried crontab -e in all my users and checked in the mentioned folder, just can't find where it originates
[16:19] <aeon-ltd> jacobian: hpw much data you got on this machine?
[16:19] <jacobian> aeon-ltd: switching between lts and normal has no effect
[16:19] <jacobian> aeon-ltd: My dissertation and all my code :)
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> Unirgy: http://docs.huihoo.com/opensolaris/system-administration-guide-advanced-administration/html/ch15s06.html
[16:19] <stongo> can someone tell me if ubuntu 10.04 64-bit is as stable as the 32-bit v?
[16:19] <bastid_raZor> kjele: unless you want quotes to be in the file too
[16:19] <jacobian> I can switch it to another machine though...
[16:19] <Unirgy> ActionParsnip: doesn't give anything new..
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> jacobian: do you have a backup?
[16:19] <kjele> bastid_raZor: You need to escape the quotes \ to include them
[16:19] <mr_chris> stongo: I'm running it exclusively at work. It has been quite enjoyable. It also handles the installation of 32 bit Flash quite nicely.
[16:20] <markben> @stongo:  I've been running 10.04 64-bit on my laptop since a few days after it came out and it's been very stable.
[16:20] <Lokote> Not exactly "linux" related, but if I placed an external hard drive behind a 42 inch flat screen monitor, within inches of the wall; would it deplete the life of the hard drive due to the increased heat?
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> Unirgy: look in /etc/cron.d
[16:20] <augdawg> kjele it says - options i915 modeset=1
[16:20] <markben> @stongo: I run 10.04 32-bit on my desktop and haven't noticed any difference between the two in stability or otherwise.
[16:20] <Unirgy> ActionParsnip: oh thanks
[16:20] <Unirgy> found :)
[16:20] <Pici> Lokote: Try ##hardware
[16:20] <aeon-ltd> jacobian: i think you may have to and copy /home for configs, then fresh install
[16:20] <kjele> augdawg: Try a restart now then
[16:21] <bastid_raZor> kjele: you are correct. i didn't know echo treated "
[16:21] <bastid_raZor> 's like that
[16:21] <augdawg> kjele okay ill be right back

[16:22] <stongo> just wanted to make sure i can use the 64 bit
[16:22] <jacobian> aeon-ltd: Seems like I somehow fried the distro - not sure how though.
[16:22] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, vlc
[16:22] <kjele> bastid_raZor: Well you can't have "echo "no"""
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> BluesKaj:  check the vlc docs. I recall vlc even having a command line 'server' type inteface contoll you can access.
[16:22] <Dr_Willis> BluesKaj:  vlc has more ways to controll it then.. i can count. :0
[16:23] <augdawg> kjele i tried it but it still does not work
[16:24] <jacobian> aeon-ltd: Will I have to install from CD/DVD then?
[16:24] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, yeah ok, I don't need to play the files on my laptop where I'm sshing from...just want to be able to open files on the server and play them there, it's connected to our TV , like aremote would
[16:24] <aeon-ltd> jacobian: yeah pretty much

[16:28] <doormat81> If I use Qt Designer to create a user interface, what language do I need to use for programming it?  Also, since I've never done any programming other than Visual Basic, what would you suggest I learn in order to create applications? Links to further information would be great :)

[16:41] <trothigar> rojoloco47, http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ this was the document I used. but that was for virtual domains etc... perhaps overkill for you?
[16:41] <kjele> augdawg_: sudo apt-get purge plymouth && sudo apt-get install plymouth
[16:41] <augdawg_> Lxndr there is a plugin for gedit where you can remember sessions
[16:42] <trothigar> rojoloco47, I take it you've looked at the  ubuntu wiki page?
[16:42] <coz_> Lxndr,   look here    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category%3ALinux_text_editors

[16:43] <Dr_Willis> Lxndr:   Try Geany
[16:43] <augdawg_> kjele - it says Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
[16:43] <rojoloco47> will you be here until that @ trothigar
[16:43] <trothigar> rojoloco47, unlikely I'll be at my computer, but I will still be on irc

[16:43] <trothigar> rojoloco47, what are your needs for the mail server? does it need to deal with multiple domians, virtual users, etc..?
[16:44] <MaWaLe> hi folks

[16:45] <shadowhywind_> trothigar: I have the ports open on the router, along with having the server in the DMZ
[16:45] <trothigar> rojoloco47, then the doc I gave you is overkill
[16:45] <rojoloco47> trothigar, Can I have your MSN, or gmail or something like that ? SO that I can contact you easily , I really need it before next 2 hours,

[16:45] <CrayonOfDoom> Working on a PXElinux network boot, not sure if this is the right channel to ask questions about it.
[16:45] <MaWaLe> ActionParsnip:  nope, to the linux partition so it's an EXT4 partition

[16:45] <ActionParsnip> MaWaLe: weird, fat32 would have made a lot of sense
[16:45] <Lxndr> augdawg_: I'm presuming it's in the gedit-plugins package in the package manager? if I'm wrong, please tell me.
[16:45] <kjele> augdawg_: purge not autoremove
[16:46] <shishire> ok, how do I turn off power to my sound card?

[16:48] <trothigar> rojoloco47, all you should have modified are the config files right, so I think all you need to do is remove them and then use dpkg-reconfigure to regenerate the default config. You need a basic postifx set up to handle the mail and provide smtp, and then courier for imap.
[16:48] <kjele> augdawg_: did you use sudo?

[16:58] <metalfan_> i would like to get encfs-1.6 running on ubuntu 10.04.   there are already packages for the 10.10 release out there.  so i downloaded them and started to get all the deps, but for this one:  http://codepad.org/HrA77JfX   i dont get an error message from dpkg. just that theres a problem.  but what problem?
 Hi, my Close, Minimize, Maximize, and Windows Preferences buttons vanished several days ago on Firefox. I'm running ubuntu with Gnome. Here's what I've done so far: Starting firefox in Safe Mode does fix the problem, but only in safe mode. I disabled all extensions, themes and addons, didn't work, and I also enabled the "firefox workaround fix" in the Compiz settings, which didn't work. I just came from irc.mozilla.org, they
[16:59] <sprung> told me to come here.
[17:00] <akshit21> hi is their any IRC channel for opkg or apt
[17:00] <ikonia> akshit21: if it relates to ubuntu, you're in it
[17:01] <shadowhywind_> trothigar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/462585/
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> metalfan_: mixing debs from maverick with lucid will cause issues
[17:01] <flupke> ActionParsnip, now I have flashplugin-nonfree and installer, but still no luck with flash : http://paste.pocoo.org/show/236571/
[17:01] <akshit21> @ikonia: I was looking for some frontent for opkg. I am not sure if this is the right place
[17:01] <ddavids_> hi all
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> flupke: so you have no soud in flash?
[17:01] <metalfan_> ActionParsnip, i was assuming that most packages will be backward compactible.....is that not the case?
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> metalfan_: no, not at all
[17:02] <ddavids_> my rhythmbox keeps crashing upon starting it
[17:02] <share> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/PES2011.iso
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> metalfan_: thats why those are from the maverick repo and not the lucid repo, they are different
[17:02] <ikonia> share: ?
[17:02] <flupke> ActionParsnip, yep, no sound in flash, and I don't see it in the pulse clients list (it was visible before I installed the pulse-jack stack)
[17:02] <ikonia> share: please don't post warez in here
[17:02] <metalfan_> ActionParsnip, thx
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> metalfan_: if you install debs from other system you will need to satisfy deps for it and eventually you will have a half maverick / half lucid mess
[17:03] <sprung> Hi, my Close, Minimize, Maximize, and Windows Preferences buttons vanished several days ago on Firefox. I'm running ubuntu with Gnome.

[17:03] <sprung> here.
[17:03] <VeasMKII> Is there any kind of lag meter for ubuntu?
[17:03] <gNewPower> Hi!  Is there a GNOME applet which would a allow me to regulate the sound up and down directly from the panel without starting an application?  Thanks!
[17:03] <metalfan_> ActionParsnip, ok
[17:03] <akshit21> @ikonia: I was looking for some frontent for opkg. I am not sure if this is the right place
[17:03] <ikonia> akshit21: synaptic
[17:03] <metalfan_> ActionParsnip, will switch to dm-crypt than
[17:03] <akshit21> @ikonia: but synaptic works with apt and not on opkg
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> flupke: http://www.macewan.org/2006/06/01/howto-firefox-flash-video-sound-on-ubuntu-linux-dapper/   may work
[17:04] <akshit21> @ikonia: is tr any specific IRC for synaptic
[17:04] <VeasMKII> gNewPower: I think Indicator Applet already does what you want, you can use the scrollwheel over the volume manager to adjust volume directly or click for a sound menu
[17:05] <gNewPower> VeasMKII, which is the "Indicator Applet"?
[17:06] <VeasMKII> gNewPower: are you using standard ubuntu? it should be already active on the top right(ish) of the top panel
[17:06] <steven> hey
[17:07] <aeon-ltd> hey
[17:07] <gNewPower> VeasMKII, I am, but I had plenty of upgrades and I somehow lost this applet,  How do I get it back?!
[17:07] <cablop> well people, i got a problem, i was installing a new kernel and... the synaptic is stuck at this point
[17:07] <VeasMKII> gNewPower: but you can right click the panels and add to panel and select it from there manually if somehow it's missing
[17:07] <steven> i cant get 3d windows to turn on in compiz, any ideas
[17:07] <gNewPower> VeasMKII, which aplication do I add exactly?
[17:07] <kryl> hi
[17:07] <jentaru12> hi
[17:07] <VeasMKII> gNewPower: just "Indicator Applet"
[17:08] <kryl> how to remove the 2 first lines of the result of command like ls or netstat ...
[17:08] <jentaru12> merhaba
[17:08] <kryl> awk ?
[17:08] <metalfan_> is there something like encfs that encrypts directories that can grow in size?
[17:08] <gNewPower> VeasMKII, Thanks!  that worked
[17:08] <cablop> my synaptic is stuck in this line "executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms kernel [and some kernel info]"... of course i'm really fafraid to interupt it... what can i do?!?
[17:08] <gNewPower> thanks a lot VeasMKII
[17:08] <VeasMKII> gNewPower: :)

[17:10] <aeon-ltd> jentaru12: hi
[17:10] <jentaru12> how to hacker
[17:10] <steven> jentaru12, depend on what you want to hack

[17:11] <Dr_Willis> jentaru12:  given your statement.. you proberly dont..
[17:11] <aeon-ltd> jentaru12: please elaborate
[17:11] <sprung> Hi, my Close, Minimize, Maximize, and Windows Preferences buttons vanished several days ago on Firefox. I'm running ubuntu with Gnome.

I just came from irc.mozilla.org, they told me to come
[17:11] <sprung> here.
[17:11] <sprung> Any ideas guys/gals?
[17:11] <cablop> can i just insterrupt a kernel upgrade?
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> sprung:  they are there for other programs? but Not for firefox?
[17:11] <steven> i cant get 3d windows to turn on in compiz, any ideas
[17:12] <bullgard4> man gconftool-2: "gconftool-2 is the command-line interface tool that enables you to set the values of keys, display the values of keys, and install schemas from schema definition files when you install an application." Does Ubuntu provide a similar graphical tool?
[17:12] <trism> bullgard4: gconf-editor
[17:13] <sprung> Dr_Who, Correct.
[17:13] <IdleOne> bullgard4: alt-f2 > gconf-editor
[17:13] <ddavids_> im having problems with my rhythmbox...it doesnt open when i start it but it docks on the panel...
[17:13] <cablop> hey guys
[17:14] <bullgard4> trism, IdleOne Thank you very much for your help.
[17:14] <sprung> Dr_Willis, Correct.
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> sprung:  move/rename the .mozilla directory and try firefox with a new fresh 'setup'
[17:14] <trism> ddavids_: click the indicator icon and you can open it, you can also disable this entirely going to Edit/Plugins and disabling the status icon plugin
[17:15] <sprung> Dr_Willis, That worked, but it sucks that I lose all my preferences
[17:15] <jentaru12> how to python programming ?
[17:16] <IdleOne> jentaru12: www.thinkpython.com
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> sprung:  move them back i guess.. your preferances are causing the issues
[17:16] <JohnDel> hello, I have a server hardy heron (8.04) and I want to install QT 4.4.0, I saw that there is in backports repository but I don't understand how I can use it, I added in my sources.list I think but with apt-get it didn't installed. Can somebody point me to a tutorial or something?
[17:16] <jentaru12> where is learn xhtml programming
[17:17] <cablop> jentaru you can refer to that to each channel
[17:17] <barfster> jentaru12: ?
[17:17] <steven> what does opacify in compiz do?
[17:17] <cablop> but, jentaru12, if you want to html css and so on, go to w3c.org and start looking there
[17:17] <IdleOne> jentaru12: these are all questions you can put into a search engine and get very good results for. This channel is for Ubuntu support related questions.
[17:18] <ddavids_> trism, it wont open
[17:18] <trism> ddavids_: left click, not right click
[17:18] <ddavids_> trism: clicking on the indicator icon on the panel doesnt open it...
[17:18] <akshit21> is there any IRC channels available of package manager e.g: opkg, apt or their related applications
[17:18] <cablop> and for ubuntu support.... guys, my synaptic got stuck while installing a new kernel... what can i do? any suggestion or idea? i can't keep running this system forever!
[17:18] <trism> ddavids_: and click "Show Rhythmbox"
[17:18] <ddavids_> trism: no success
[17:19] <jentaru12> thank you!
[17:19] <IdleOne> akshit21: try ##linux maybe
[17:19] <ddavids_> trism: it just wont open
[17:19] <IdleOne> akshit21: they may know of a front end to odpk
[17:19] <ddavids_> trism: it wont show
[17:19] <barfster> jentaru12: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/
[17:19] <akshit21> @idleone: ok will try that tnks
[17:19] <JohnDel> any help how I can install QT 4.4.0 or later on 8.04?
[17:19] <ddavids_> trism: im trying to reinstall it and check if it works then...
[17:20] <IdleOne> err opkg
[17:20] <cablop> my computer is about to shutdown at any moment, and i can't solve the kernel issue, hey, any help! please!
[17:20] <trism> ddavids_: in a terminal, bring up gconf-editor and navigate to /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/status-icon and uncheck the active key, then start rhythmbox
[17:20] <oCean_> !helpme | cablop
[17:21] <cablop> oCean_: that won't help, thanks
[17:21] <IdleOne> akshit21: your nick sets off the highlight filter for many of the ops in this channel. you may want to think about changing it to something without the s word :)
[17:22] <ddavids_> trism: no luck, the indicator icon wont go away even after i reopened it from Applications...
[17:22] <MBarvian> ubuntu needs a redesign
[17:22] <IdleOne> MBarvian: #ubuntu-offtopic is a good place to talk about that
[17:22] <makao> i'm having some trouble building something called the Motion Control API (http://www.pmccorp.com/products/api.php).  when running make on the source, i get an error complaining about "implicit declaration of function ‘schedule’".  not sure where to go from here...does anyone have any suggestions for how to proceed?
[17:22] <MBarvian> thanks
[17:23] <oCean_> makao: ##programming maybe?
[17:23] <akshit21> @idleone: what does that mean
[17:23] <trism> ddavids_: what is the output of the command: gconftool-2 --get /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/status-icon/active;
[17:23] <IdleOne> akshit21: may I message you?
[17:23] <akshit21> sure
[17:24] <ddavids_> trism: i adjusted it to not active like u sugeested
 thanks, i'll check there
[17:24] <trism> ddavids_: so then the output should be false, is it?
[17:24] <jentaru12> how is learn programming ?
[17:24] <ddavids_> trism: i have unchecked it, yes teh output is false
[17:24] <shadowhywind_> Hay all having a problem with apache, can access http & https on the lan, but can only access http outside, the ports have been forwarded on the router, any ideas?
[17:24] <purvesh> can some one tell me how to uninstall apache. i had installed apache via ubuntu lamp, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Installing%20PHP%205
[17:24] <trism> ddavids_: then it shouldn't start the indicator icon
[17:25] <oCean_> jentaru12: this is ubuntu support channel, for ubuntu issues only. Please stay on topic
[17:25] <ddavids_> trism: the crashed icon has refused to go away
[17:25] <jentaru12> what!
[17:25] <oCean_> jentaru12: also help in turkish: /join #ubuntu-tr
[17:25] <trism> ddavids_: oh, then log out, log back in and try starting rhythmbox again
[17:25] <ddavids_> trism: so i guess it is interfering wt the new instance of rhythmbox
[17:26] <jentaru12> thank you
[17:26] <cablop> going offline, no help here
[17:26] <ddavids_> ok
[17:27] <brightday> hi, does anybody know why i can't start binary application. i have downloaded it and tried launching it in terminal by typing ./applicationnname but it says that there is no such file or directory. But it is here! I can cat that file, copy and do other things, but not launch it.
[17:28] <sipior> brightday: what does "file ./applicationname" return?
[17:28] <oCean_> brightday: hard to guess without knowing the details (what application, what type of file, what exact error etc)
[17:29] <steven> is there a way yo replace cube gears with something else? like some other small animated loop
[17:32] <brightday> it says
[17:32] <brightday> ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
[17:33] <geirha> brightday: And  file /bin/bash   for comparison
[17:33] <brightday> jeez :)
[17:34] <shtower> I just had some trouble with VirtualBox OSE, and I wanted to pass on to anyone else using VirtualBox to download the version 3.2 from the virtualbox website.
[17:34] <brightday> i thought i installed 32bit version of ubuntu :)
[17:34] <brightday> ok, thanks for help
[17:34] <brightday> :)
[17:34] <kickingintender> hey guys i have multisession disc and i dont know how to open it
[17:36] <Fredrick> how do i set my irc client to deny whois requests?
[17:36] <preecher> can i make a custom application launcher that will launch/open youtube and if so can anyone tole me how? i dont know what it means where it has place for command
[17:37] <Oer> shtower vbox OSE open source edition is available in synaptic
[17:37] <trism> preecher: just put: firefox http://www.youtube.com as the command in the launcher
[17:37] <Fredrick> preecher, you can create a shortcut to youtube from you internet browser
[17:37] <shtower> yes, it is, but it doesn't allow the guest OS to access the USB controller of the Host OS
[17:38] <Fredrick> preecher, just save it as a bookmark, then drigh the bookmark over your desktop
[17:38] <Pici> Fredrick: You can't.  whois requests are server side.  If you're concerned that everyone here can see your host, consider registering and asking for a cloak in #freenode.
[17:38] <Spaztic_One> I am trying to connect to another computer directly via Ethernet, this one is Lucid, the other is WinXP. Can someone help me?
[17:38] <preecher> trism and Fredrick thanks
[17:38] <Pici> !register > Fredrick
[17:38] <shtower> In my case, I needed to run iTunes, for my iPod Touch
[17:38] <Oer> shtower, yes, then you need the non-ose version from the website.
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  if you are doing Network card to network card. You will need a 'crossover' cable. unless the nic's are gigibit.
[17:39] <preecher> yea i have it on chromium extension i was just wondering if i could make just a launcher for youtube alone to put in my panel
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> at least i think all Gib. Nics  auto-crossover as needed.
[17:39] <Oer> shtower plus guest-additions
[17:39] <trism> preecher: replacing firefox with chromium-browser works too
[17:39] <Fredrick> preecher, youtube is a website and needs a browser to see it,
[17:39] <preecher> oh ok
[17:39] <Spaztic_One> Dr_Willis: I thought most NICs would auto-detect and such anymore.
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  ive not bought a new NIC in ages.. most all my machines come ith them built in. :) so cant verify or deny that.
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  but I do belive the auto-detext Is a feature standard in GiB speed nics'
[17:41] <padhu> any application is available for twitter upload and read?
[17:41] <ubclick> i have multisession disc but ubuntu reads only last session ...i have game on the other session please help
[17:42] <steven> hwo do i use aircrack-ng?
[17:42] <Spaztic_One> Dr_Willis: Ah, ok. And yea, the NICs in both computers are built in, Lucid one is a laptop. Not sure the age of either at the moment. Laptop was bought used about 2-3 weeks ago, and I've had the tower for years (five or so seems about right)
[17:42] <james20> Why might I experience display issues (flickering, lockups, white blocks) after taking my laptops display in and out of poweroff mode (closing and opening the lid, screen power off, not standby)
[17:42] <trism> padhu: gwibber by default in 10.04, there are others in the repo too
[17:43] <trism> padhu: click the envelope in your panel and go to broadcast
[17:43] <ubclick> which software will read the other session for me
[17:43] <james20> steven, this documentation should help you a lot: http://www.aircrack-ng.org/doku.php
[17:43] <trism> padhu: or Applications/Internet/Gwibber Social Client
[17:43] <steven> james20, thanks
[17:43] <padhu> trism: unfortunately i am hanging with Ubuntu 8.10
[17:43] <wng-> does anyone have any reccomendations for a kernel-supported PCI wireless card that supports a/g/n?
[17:44] <Spaztic_One> a/g/n but not b?
[17:44] <trism> padhu: ahh, I don't remember when gwibber was added, and I can't check because 8.10 isn't supported anymore
[17:44] <ubclick> which software will read the other session for me
[17:44] <ubclick> i have multisession disc but ubuntu reads only last session ...i have game on the other session please help
[17:44] <preecher> another question i have is can i make a window/panel that will be on my desktop somewhere other than on the edge/border? kind of like a box on my screen with programs/launchers placed in it
[17:45] <padhu> trism: it's ok, i will try to discover one
[17:46] <Spaztic_One> Anyway, Dr_Willis, once I have a crossover cable, will they (or at least the Lucid computer) automatically start talking and making visible the shared folders?
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> preecher:  theres numerous 'widgit/desklet' things thst can be placed anywhere. but i find them annoying
[17:46] <steven> the ip <IP_ADDRESS> is home right?
[17:46] <din> where do I have to unpack a program to so it gets registered as programs I download via the packetmanager
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  You will need to either install a dhcp server on one box. or assign static ip's to each box.
[17:46] <james20> <IP_ADDRESS> is localhost
[17:46] <james20> steven
[17:46] <steven> thanks
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  then they will be networked.  If they can ping each other.. they are networkded properly. Then you configure whatever services you want
[17:47] <Spaztic_One> Dr_Willis: They are both on the same wireless network already. Does this complicate things, make them easier, or not have any significant effect at all?
[17:47] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  wireless is a whole different ballgame.. You never mentioned wireless.
[17:47] <marcus_Newbie> Hi
[17:47] <shtower> Preecher, right click on one of the panels and select "new panel"
[17:47] <steven> hey
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  still you would need a DHCP server. or set up static ips or some sort of ad-hoc network. (i think thats the proper term) if they can ping eacjh other. they are working
[17:48] <Spaztic_One> Dr_Willis: Yes, I know. Wireless is significantly slower and thus I am wanting to use the ethernet cable.
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> Spaztic_One:  shouldent be too hard to get going. have windows box make a network. have linux box scan/connect to it
[17:48] <Spaztic_One> Dr_Willis: Ah, ok.
[17:48] <preecher> shtower ive tred that but they stay on the border
[17:48] <marcus_Newbie> Can anyone help me with my 3 mobile internet dongle please?
[17:49] <Spaztic_One> Dr_Willis: Sounds good. Thanks.
[17:49] <bullgard4> Configuration Editor > /schemas/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/background/Name=active;Value=<schema>. What file sets the value of <schema>?
[17:51] <marcus_Newbie> Hello?
[17:51] <trism> bullgard4: schemas are just templates for actual keys, they are generally imported when an app is installed, and a copy is added to /usr/share/gconf/schemas
[17:51] <din> where do I have to unpack a program to so it gets registered like a program I install via the packet manager?
[17:51] <alan2796> hey all
[17:51] <LjL> din: that's not the way it work
[17:51] <vitium> is there a way to recover a folder once you have deleted it from deleted items? :/
[17:52] <LjL> din: for a program to be in the package manager, it must be a package in the first place
[17:52] <LjL> din: otherwise, you can use "checkinstall" to pretend it is, but that's not guaranteed to work well
[17:52] <flupke> I somehow messed with my flashplugin installation, it used to work flawlessly (showing up in pulse and all), now I'm back to the oooold functionnality (pre 9.04 ...), when flash is playing it grabs the soundcard and no other app can play sound
[17:52] <din> so whats the directory for programs in ubuntu then?
[17:52] <marcus_Newbie> Hello?
[17:53] <Lokote> Hello Marcus
[17:53] <bullgard4> trism: Thank you for your general remarks. But I have put a specific question.
[17:53] <sebsebseb> Hi
[17:53] <marcus_Newbie> Could any of you please offer some help with 3 mobile internet dongles
[17:53] <alan2796> fire away
[17:54] <flupke> anybody have a guide for lucid to make flashplugin play through pulse ?
[17:55] <james20> marcus_Newbie, state your problem
[17:55] <shtower> yes, what is the problem with them?

[17:57] <cruz> hi there

[17:58] <ubuntu51> i want to know
[17:58] <rizzuh> You surely can, it's just a bunch of packages; one is ubuntu-desktop another is ubuntu-server.
[17:58] <sebsebseb> ubuntu51: Are you on 10.04?
[17:58] <ubuntu51> yes
[17:58] <sebsebseb> !info ubuntu-server
[17:58] <sebsebseb> rizzuh: no according to that, there isn't a ubuntu-server package
[17:58] <cryzed> Does Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" ship with the latest Catalyst 10.6 (fglrx) driver-packages already so that "Jockey" will ask me to install them once I try to install Ubuntu on a ASUS G73-JH with a Mobility Radeon 5870?
[17:58] <rizzuh> Hmm :|
[17:58] <sebsebseb> rizzuh: server edition is basically  just Ubuntu with a server specific kernel and no GUI
[17:59] <flupke> bullgard4, it's medibuntu.org
[17:59] <sebsebseb> rizzuh: so you could remove stuff from your desktop edition, and such,  but not sure if your whole system then gets the 5 years of support instead of the 3,  if your on 10.04 I mean
[17:59] <marcus_Newbie> thanks james28 but shtower is helping me out at the sec
[17:59] <ubuntu51> there is any possibility to activate my xsplash
[17:59] <sebsebseb> !lts | rizzuh
[17:59] <bullgard4> flupke: I do not know what you mean.
[17:59] <sebsebseb> ubottu: Which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[17:59] <flupke> bullgard4, and they don't have flashplugin for lucid ...
[18:00] <sebsebseb> ubuntu51: Which version of Ubuntu are you on?
[18:00] <rizzuh> sebsebseb, I don't need the support, this is just a VM, but I'd like to drop the Gnome desktop.
[18:00] <ubuntu51> im using 10.04 ubuntu
[18:00] <cryzed> Someone running the Catalyst drivers here?
[18:00] <sebsebseb> !purekde
[18:00] <coz_> flupke,   I have lucid with flash plugin here .. maybe I misunderstood you/
[18:00] <sebsebseb> rizzuh: I guess follow the above then or at least for the removing Gnome packages part
[18:00] <flupke> bullgard4, you linked me to a repos that doesn't exist anymore, and the correct one (medibuntu.org, not .com), doesn't have flashplugin for lucid
[18:00] <sanjoy> MINT has chat n help sec
[18:00] <sanjoy> is it available here??
[18:01] <sebsebseb> rizzuh: as for log in and such, after doing that,  I guess you log in with the text thing, but not so sure
[18:01] <ubuntu51> 10.04 is stable than 9.10
[18:01] <sebsebseb> !mint | sanjoy
[18:01] <rizzuh> Ahh nice, Lucid uses aptitude now.
[18:01] <rizzuh> Okay, that's easy xD
[18:01] <sebsebseb> !mintsupport | sanjoy
[18:01] <gregl> Does Kubuntu use pulseaudio?
[18:01] <flupke> coz_, I have it too, it's just that it grabs alsa, so if you launch say a youtube video, you can't play sound in other apps ; I'd like to route it through pulse
[18:01] <sebsebseb> rizzuh: I haven't done it myself, but  just a vm aye, for trying, so if it messes up on you, no big deal?
[18:01] <maco> gregl: no, but 10.10 will
[18:01] <sanjoy> what do u mean by stable???
[18:01] <coz_> gregl,  no I believe its called "phonon"
[18:01] <sebsebseb> maco: Oh no!
[18:02] <sanjoy> !mintsupport
[18:02] <ubuntu51> i want to activate xsplash
[18:02] <marcus_Newbie> ?
[18:02] <coz_> flupke,  mmm ok   I only use alsa so I cant help with that
[18:02] <sebsebseb> maco: that seems to be an advantage for Kubuntu, how it does not use pulseaudio by default :)  since the amount of issues Ubuntu has with it since 8.04
[18:02] <sanjoy> ow
[18:02] <maco> sebsebseb: new versions of qt work fine with it, and this gives plenty of time to prepare for 12.04 lts
[18:02] <rizzuh> sebsebseb, yeah, I'll take a snapshot so no big deal if it goes wrong. I can deal with the desktop, just wanted to shrink the memory and disk usage a bit (kinda low on the latter)
[18:02] <alan2796> #/join #ubuntuforums
[18:02] <flupke> coz_, only alsa ? you mean you removed pulse ?
[18:02] <gregl> ok thanks..I don't want pulse audio..It adds too much latency to my media server.
[18:02] <maco> sebsebseb: *shrug* ive used pulseaudio with kubuntu the entire time ive used kubuntu. ive not had problems
[18:02] <sebsebseb> maco: its Ubuntu that gets the problems
[18:02] <maco> gregl: ah you want jack if youre doing pro audio stuff
[18:02] <ubuntu51> fine me a way to fix
[18:03] <ubuntu51> my xsplash
[18:03] <gregl> Mythtv
[18:03] <sebsebseb> ubuntu51: if you are on 10.04, yes xsplash is in the repo, but you can't just install and use it
[18:03] <thorat> I can't upgrade since update-initramfs hangs.  I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 under VMware Fusion.
[18:03] <maco> gregl: i didnt think mythbuntu had pulse...
[18:03] <thorat> My problem is similar to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1400954
[18:03] <Myth`> I'm trying to stream media from my UPNP server at home to my Ubuntu box at work. Is there an easy way for me to do this? I have tried Rhythmbox UPNP plugins with no success.
[18:03] <thorat> But there's no solution posted there.
[18:03] <sebsebseb> ubuntu51: and Plymouth is very much so bundled into the system, its part of ubuntu-desktop for a start, and if you try to remove Plymouth, it will want to remove loads of programs you are meant to have installed
[18:04] <coz_> flupke,   no I have a pro sound card I I have to compile the alsa driver specifically for that    so although I dont remove pulse  I dont use it for anything
[18:04] <gregl> maco: I don't use mythbuntu..It uses XFC for a windows manager and I think it's horrible
[18:04] <ubuntu51> u mean u can change it
[18:05] <sanjoy> how u can identify stableness in 9.10 n 10.04
[18:05] <flupke> coz_, I compile alsa too (newer via chips don't work out of the box), pulse works on top of alsa.
[18:05] <marcus_Newbie> hi
[18:05] <sanjoy> by which basis?
[18:05] <sebsebseb> ubuntu51: in fact someone has been working on trying to properly remove Plymouth from  10.04, because of issues that can happen with for example propritary Nivida or ATI drivers,  and hes told me about his progress trying to do that here and there,  and he can't do it properly at the moment, because of something.  So basically stuck with Plymouth when it comes to 10.04, but can sort of disable it by using a text boot instead.
[18:05] <fabio__> I need some help setting up my dual monitors in Lucid. Can anyone help me? I have an Nvidia Geforce gt320. One screen is 24inch acer, the other 15 inch LG. Proprietary drivers installed. help please :D
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: you can work around by booting using the fb diriver :)
[18:06] <coz_> flupke,  yes but pulse does not support my card  so I have to have alsa
[18:06] <Roasted> On the Appearance window I found a link for find more themes online. I clicked - and I found a sub category for changing the login window. Okay, I thought that got screwed up with the newer gdm, but whatever - trying to install it now. How would I install the .tar.gz I downloaded to apply a new login screen?
[18:06] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: The fb driver ?
[18:06] <marcus_Newbie> this xchat do not seem to be updating with your messages
[18:06] <marcus_Newbie> i only see mine
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> fabio__: run: nvidia-settings ,its all there
[18:06] <flupke> coz_, pulse is not an audio driver, if your card is supported by alsa then pulse works with it too
[18:06] <Ankaku> Do you guys accept general linux questions? The people in the sabayon channel dont rly offer any help
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: yeah, its the work around for poor res during bootup. There are guides all over
[18:07] <fabio__> ActionParnsnip: i know, the thing is, it doesnt recognize my big screen.
[18:07] <HexTasy> how do I boot the installer into text only?  I have an offsize touchscreen I need to use
[18:07] <coz_> flupke,  yes I have heard that but I have already read that it is not supported under pulse
[18:07] <fabio__> it shows there but it doesn't get that is has a bigger resolution than 1024x786 and that it's wide
[18:07] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: as far as I know those work arounds don't always work properly.
[18:07] <sebsebseb> ubuntu51: Why do you want xsplash anyway?
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> HexTasy: the alternate iso does that
[18:07] <bullgard4> flupke: May be reading https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu will help you.
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: worked on all 4 systems I've applied it to
[18:07] <coz_> flupke,  I can do withouth pulse here :)
[18:07] <HexTasy> oh it's a whole different iso? ok
[18:08] <national_sociali> heil hitler
[18:08] <sebsebseb> ubuntu51: I used to think xsplash sucked when 9.10 was the latest Ubuntu, but now I think it is better than Plymouth in 10.04,  sadly Ubuntu didn't do Plymouth as good as other distros.
[18:08] <national_sociali> -server
[18:08] <AhmedBH> hi all, Actually i am @ root now and i cant see the volume applet working it seems, why is that when i click to check it gives me "Waiting for sound system to respond" i mean when i click sound prefences, please any suggestions ? i am new
[18:08] <bullgard4> Configuration Editor > /schemas/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/background/Name=active;Value=<schema>. What file sets the value of <schema>?
[18:08] <flupke> ActionParsnip, since I followed your advice about the flashplugin packages (removed old configured packages, reinstalled flashplugin-nonfree), flash doesn't use pulse anymore, when it starts other apps (pulse included) can't play sound anymore
[18:09] <graffy> i had to a flash plugin from some other repo
[18:09] <Roasted> On the Appearance window I found a link for find more themes online. I clicked - and I found a sub category for changing the login window. Okay, I thought that got screwed up with the newer gdm, but whatever - trying to install it now. How would I install the .tar.gz I downloaded to apply a new login screen?
[18:09] <graffy> then i could lcik buttons
[18:09] <graffy> shows up in pulse
[18:09] <stevecam> if i wanted to update a package to a newer version of whatever program it is and contribute it to the apt package list would it be possible to do that?
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> flupke: there's a pulse-alsa package you can use. Not sure as I've never had a sound issue in linux
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> Ubuntu51: sebsebseb: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ use the commands in red

[18:14] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: some apps run really well, some won't even install and everything between
[18:14] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip bro do u know how to setup vodafone usb modem in ubuntu 10?
[18:14] <AhmedBH> n0alias: check the driver before that or it wont even work :)

[18:15] <AhmedBH> nighttail: who needs it ?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: plug it in and run: lsusb ,there will be an 8 character hex id you can find guides with
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: the commands in red on the page I pasted
[18:15] <NightTail> i do its my video drivers
[18:15] <shtower> NightTail: are you trying to install from the Ubuntu Software Repository, or did you download the driver from the ATI site
[18:15] <|jonathan|> ActionParsnip bro help me im totally new :(
[18:15] <mr_lou> Insane thunder weather coming this way. Shutdown! See ya
[18:15] <AhmedBH> kholzer: its a bug in gnome actually but check the fix is released, arent you on 64 bit ?

[18:16] <marcusnewbie> I have a mobile dongle that i am using to connect my new LL box to the internet. I used to use it in under win XP where it had an SMS client. How would i get a similar service under LL
[18:16] <n0a1ias_> actionParsnip, i already have it installed
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: applications -> accessoies -> terminal

[18:16] <kholzer> AhmedBH: still a bug though?
[18:16] <NightTail> its erroring in the install
[18:16] <alan2796> is it a 3G Dongle ?
[18:16] <|jonathan|> then
[18:16] <marcusnewbie> yup
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> n0a1ias_: then you can run ccsm and configure as you wish. More specific support is in #compiz
[18:16] <alan2796> if you look on the memory part of the drive there should be software for linux
[18:17] <kholzer> |jonathan|, then type lsusb
[18:17] <marcusnewbie> looking now
[18:17] <alan2796> i had on mine
[18:17] <|jonathan|> okk
[18:17] <|jonathan|> then
[18:17] <AhmedBH> kholzer: yes its still a bug as that resolution but is there on KDE, so i am not even on KDE anymore just Gnome its better tho
[18:17] <kholzer> |jonathan|, then enter...
[18:17] <|jonathan|> then
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: the command will identify the device and other usb things. It will give you guides if you websearch
[18:17] <marcusnewbie> what am i looking for...lol
[18:17] <stygian> is there a way to disable the touchpad on my laptop and just use the mouse? would it be an ubuntu setting or A Bios thing?
[18:17] <mihakriket> I know I can install the drivers after I install, but I am having an issue with my ethernet port on my laptop. I thought maybe If I put the drivers I need on a USB flash stick. After installation I can install the drivers I need from the USB.
[18:17] <kholzer> AhmedBH: thank you
[18:17] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: I don't see any commands in red on that page
[18:18] <AhmedBH> kholzer: My pleasure :P

[18:19] <marcusnewbie> 10.04 AMD64
[18:19] <mikelifeguard> How can I install only updates from lucid-security? `sudo apt-get upgrade` includes all updates from all repositories.
[18:19] <alan2796> ok
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> mihakriket: then run: sudo lshw -C network ,it will identify the ethernet chip
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: if you used the desktop cd you have a standard install
[18:20] <alan2796> when you plug in the USB stick does it mount ?
[18:20] <Roasted> hellooooooooo gdm2 users. unable to click cancel or okay buttons on the menu - anybody else have that?
[18:20] <|jonathan|> i hav a desktop dvd
[18:20] <marcusnewbie> Everything on the sticks memory appears to be windows apps
[18:20] <marcusnewbie> yes
[18:20] <|jonathan|> there is a folder named install
[18:20] <|jonathan|> is that standard install?
[18:20] <mihakriket> The issue with the ethernet is a hardware issue, I have tried a couple of OSes with the same result. The issue just started to happen, it worked in the past.
[18:20] <cryzed> Is someone using ATI Catalyst 10.6 here?
[18:20] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: looks a little complacted that page,  got to get the right resolution  and uh
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: hardly, edit 2 config files and install a package. Not complicated at all
[18:21] <Kyle__> Hey.
[18:22] <alan2796> there should be linux software there was on mine, just trying to get the folder mounted now
[18:22] <Kyle__> On the advice of some folks here, I installed apt-cacher-ng.  It works, but I'm haivng memory problems with it.
[18:22] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: well it seems that he got loads of resolutions
[18:22] <Kyle__> After a very short amount of time, it's eating up _all_ the memory on the box.  To the point that I can't always su even.
[18:22] <marcusnewbie> It lets me use internet just fine
[18:22] <|jonathan|> help me
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: the hwinfo isn't really needed if you know the native res of your display
[18:23] <|jonathan|> what is standard install
[18:23] <|jonathan|> plz tell me
[18:23] <AhmedBH> back
[18:23] <AhmedBH> oh
[18:23] <AhmedBH> jonathan: what do you mean ? which installation ?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> |jonathan|: I told you. If you used the desktop iso you have a standard install?
[18:23] <ddavids> trism; u there? still no luck
[18:23] <marcusnewbie> hello?
[18:23] <AhmedBH> there's a standard user to install but he cant really install programs really
[18:23] <|jonathan|> u mean auto install?
[18:24] <|jonathan|> no my sound card got recognized by ubuntu
[18:24] <AhmedBH> marcusnewbie: Yeah ?
[18:24] <Kyle__> |jonathan|: One quick note, it helps if you spell correctly.  Please has no z in it.  Also it helps if you give a fuller explination of what you need help with.
[18:24] <marcusnewbie> this xchat keeps sticking

[18:30] <Pvpeter> My brightness controls on my sony vaio vpcea1s1e doesnt work, none of the solutions on the internet i have found have worked. However, the brightness changes if it is running on battery power. Any ideas?
[18:30] <alan2796> ok marcus im there
[18:30] <ddavids> trism; this is the report - /usr/share/themes/Night-Impression/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:237: Murrine configuration option "scrollbar_color" is no longer supported and will be ignored.
[18:31] <besogon> kermit: aptitude search porgramname
[18:31] <rnddom> kyle_, It's a series of long and ugly shell scripts - I don't see any easy way to tell it which os to boot
[18:31] <alan2796> do you not have a folder named linux software on your dongle then ?
[18:31] <MaRk-I> !grub2 > rnddom
[18:31] <marcusnewbie> no
[18:31] <ddavids> trism: what do u make of that message?
[18:32] <Kyle__> rnddom: do you have a file at /etc/grub/grub.cfg
[18:32] <trism> ddavids: that doesn't seem like it should cause rhythmbox to crash, so probably not that useful
[18:32] <Kyle__> rnddom: Sorry, /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[18:32] <alan2796> Marcus
[18:32] <alan2796> check out here http://thelittleglasskiln.co.uk/blog/?p=42
[18:33] <rnddom> kyle_, Yes sir, I do.
[18:33] <alan2796> i can email you the tar.gz if you wish

[18:33] <geolr> Hi folks, I experience difficulties around file transfer via bluetooth from a phone. Is there a way I can restart that obex environment on my Ubuntu machine? Thanks a lot!
[18:33] <rnddom> kyle_, It actually looks like the old config file I'm used to, but it says in big letters at the top not to edit the file.
[18:33] <marcusnewbie> would that work? Is it compatable with my dongle?
[18:33] <kermit> besogon: that doesnt search filenames, just the info/description of packages
[18:33] <ddavids> trism: what else can i try, banshee also crashes while working (it would play some tracks and crash on others) im stuck wt vlc for playing my music library and i wld prefer rhythmbox
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> rnddom: also bookmark this Good Grub2 guide from the forums ----> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[18:34] <Kyle__> rnddom: If it's like mine, it tells you that it's generated by grub-mkconfig.
[18:34] <alan2796> well im not sure as the software came on mine its a Three Dongle
[18:34] <rnddom> kyle_, Yes sir, it does indeed.
[18:34] <besogon> kermit: he said he looked for program searcher not for file searcher
[18:34] <marcusnewbie> couldnt hurt i suppose, how big is it
[18:35] <alan2796> 7.9mb
[18:35] <marcus_Newbie> Cool
[18:35] <besogon> rnddom: you should have /etc/default/grub file either
[18:35] <marcus_Newbie> how you wanna transfer
[18:35] <geolr> Bluetooth: Would it be recommended to unplug my dongle and replug again?
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> rnddom:  if you want to change the default grub entry see --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1302743
[18:35] <Guest36650> hi peoples... i have a little problem with one of my partitions... There was a windows 7 installed with 3 partitions. 1 of them i used to install Ubunto, the second was the Windows 7 system, and the 3rd was that with all my data on it. The problem: I see only data on the two first partitions, the 3rd with about 200GB data seems to be empty (i only see there the "recycle bin" and the "System Volume Information" folder of the windows...... anybody s
[18:35] <Guest36650> ome idea how to recover?
[18:36] <alan2796> do you have MSN account ?
[18:36] <marcusnewbie> no
[18:36] <Kyle__> rnddom: From what I"m seing, grub-mkconfig will run the scripts in /etc/grub in order.  So you need to make a boot-script for that OS in /etc/grub.conf
[18:36] <alan2796> or ubuntu one
[18:36] <Kyle__> rnddom: Sorry grub.d Ugh.  Switching between too many boxes.
[18:36] <alan2796> i could just email you it
[18:37] <geolr> Guest36650: Possibly boot from a linux live cd and check again. Not sure that changes anything.
[18:37] <marcusnewbie> when i right ckick on your name i get an option to send you a file, would that work?
[18:37] <rnddom> kyle_, ugh, that sounds like a lot of work!
[18:37] <Kyle__> rnddom: See how there's a 10_linux in there?  Copy it to 11_freebsd, edit it, and then freebsd will be the second choice.  Or name it 09_freebsd, and freebsd will boot by default.
[18:37] <alan2796> oh well ill try that !
[18:37] <cryzed> Is someone using ATI Drivers?
[18:37] <Kyle__> rnddom: Welcome to ubuntu, where if you want to do what it wants, it's easy, but want make a change, you've got to do more work.
[18:37] <rnddom> kyle_, Ahhhhh.... the ordinal numbers preceding the script names correspond to their menu entry?
[18:38] <Guest36650> yes need to try it. problem is, can't start windows 7 anymore..i've erased a 1MB partition which wasn't used i thoght, but was maybe some of windows 7 configurations...don't know this system...
[18:38] <Kyle__> rnddom: Yes.  Thank you :) I wasn't explaining that well.
[18:38] <alan2796> you getting that ?
[18:38] <rnddom> kyle_, 'cause it looks like single scripts are generating multiple entries... i.e., one to autofind all linux kernels and make an entry for each
[18:38] <trism> ddavids: not sure what else to try, seems like some kind of rhythmbox bug, but I don't know why banshee would be crashing too; you could try exaile, but that is more of a workaround than a solution; may want to check out the rhythmbox bugs on launchpad and see: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bugs
[18:38] <bjegovic> can anybody tell me some ubuntu account like xfce and lxde.... to be fast !!!
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> rnddom:  one script can generate more then 1 entry in the grub menus. - What exactly are yoy trying to do with Grub2 ?
[18:39] <Kyle__> Yea, I think that's the osprober script.  So it will try and show you everything that's on there.  But if you manually create your own, then you can force the order (or make it the default).
[18:39] <rnddom> kyle_, And the suggestion that Willis keeps spamming only instructs you to use a different ordinal number... if they vary dynamically, I don't see how that will help
[18:39] <ddavids> trism: guess wht i used sudo and i'll paste the output on pastebin
[18:39] <rnddom> Dr_Willis, I'm simply trying to change the default boot choice
[18:39] <bjegovic> what is faster then lxde???????????
[18:40] <marcusnewbie> is in my download manager but not transfering
[18:40] <trism> ddavids: you really shouldn't run rhythmbox with sudo
[18:40] <Dr_Willis> rnddom:   I let it only show like 3 kernels, so windows is always #4 here
[18:40] <besogon> rnddom: sudo update-grub2 and change /etc/defuault/grub file
[18:40] <mikelifeguard> Is there a package for Perl 5.12 on lucid?
[18:40] <geolr> Anyone on Bluetooth:  How to check the actual state of what is happening? Log-file?
[18:40] <Kyle__> rnddom: From what I can see, the way you do it is to create your own boot script, lower than 10, and re-run the grub-mkconfig or whatever it's called.
[18:40] <bjegovic> what is faster then lxde ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????/
[18:40] <besogon> you don't hear me..., rnddom
[18:40] <bullgard4> Configuration Editor > /schemas/apps/gdm/simple-greeter/settings-manager-plugins/background/Name=active;Value=<schema>. What file sets the value of <schema>?
[18:40] <mikelifeguard> bjegovic: One ? is sufficient, thanks.
[18:41] <rnddom> Dr_Willis, Is that more effective than just renaming your windows detect script to have a number lower than 10?
[18:41] <ddavids> trism: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2cLfErBp
[18:41] <Dr_Willis> rnddom:  you could put the osprober befor the linux kernel entries also.    that would keep windoes befor them all.
[18:41] <rnddom> besogon, I'm sorry, new IRC client and I'm having trouble with the colors
[18:41] <alan2796> why is that then ?
[18:41] <DarkSector> Hi, I am trying to setup git on my ubuntu, I have a public key and openssh-server installed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Git  But I am unable to understand what to type for the server part in setting up git and project management...what server is it talking about ?
[18:41] <ddavids> trism: i just tot i shld check

[18:41] <marcusnewbie> beats me
[18:41] <ddavids> trism; sorry abt running it wt sudo...cld u pls look thru the errors?
[18:41] <marcusnewbie> im the one with newbie in my name
[18:42] <alan2796> ill try again
[18:43] <kermit> Dr_Willis: thanks!
[18:43] <besogon> rnddom: you should change the file I mentioned and run update-grub2. But you can use not only numbers in boot sequence but the boot names of OS
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> rnddom:  also checcking the docs. it seems you can set the 'default' entry based on its name. Not just its #.
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> rnddom:  exzmple they give in /etc/default/grub -> grub-set-default "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.32-15-generic"
[18:44] <rnddom> Dr_Willis, But there isn't a static name for the OS I want to boot as far as I can tell... it's generated from the prober script
[18:44] <alan2796> check private win
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> rnddom:  once it generates you can see what name its using.
[18:44] <rnddom> Boy, old grub was sure a lot easier
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> rnddom:  i missread the docs. theres a command to do it. sudo grub-set-default "whatevername"
[18:45] <Dr_Willis> rnddom:  what os are you wanting to set as the default?
[18:45] <trism> ddavids: yes I am looking, hmm, can you go into gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/rhythmbox/plugins/umusicstore and uncheck active
[18:45] <rnddom> Is LILO still an option?  My distaste for GRUB is growing
[18:45] <Lokote> After installing Ubuntu 10.04 and having performed all the updates I attempted to plug my head phones and mic into my PC. The head phones and mic did not capture the sound in the system and my normal speakers continued to function. How would I set up my system to allow me to switch between hp/mic and regular speakers?
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: all fixed?
[18:45] <rnddom> Lokote, Is it a shared jack on a laptop?
[18:45] <trism> ddavids: then try rhythmbox again
[18:45] <Lokote> It is a desktop PC made by Gateway. The jack is located on the front of the system.
[18:45] <philinux> rnddom: For changing the default OS I think startupmanager does the job
[18:45] <trainer> I'm shopping for a new video card, which chipsets have better compatibility with ubuntu, nvidia or ATI?
[18:46] <philinux> trainer: nVidia
[18:46] <ddavids> trism: done, now lets see
[18:46] <rnddom> philinux, Thank you, Phil.  That may be the "easy" option I'm searching for.
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> philinux:  ive had startupmanager also 'break' the grub config. So use it with caution
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> trainer: i'd shoot for nvidia 100% of the time
[18:46] <profxavier> hi, I need a hand with setting up my network settings
[18:46] <xueqimao> you ren bu
[18:46] <ddavids> trism: no luck, but do i need to logout and log back in?
[18:46] <rnddom> Aye, ever since 9.10 or so, I've had nothing but trouble from Grub
[18:46] <philinux> Dr_Willis: I only have ubuntu on this machine lol
[18:47] <shtower> profxavier: what do you need help with?
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Rnddom: you can edit /etc/default/grub the default is set there. You will need to run: sudo update-grub ,after editting
[18:47] <trism> ddavids: no, shouldn't matter, try running: rhythmbox -d; and pastebin the output
[18:47] <Edo> I have a rhythmbox issue where if I import music my system locks up and I need to cold shutdown. I'm pretty sure it's either a meta tag or codec issue... Wondering if anyone else has had this problem and know a fix.
[18:47] <robin> Argh! Could someone help me I've accidently sudo dd'd my windows boot sector
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> philinux:  at least i justlearned about a new command for grub2 -->  sudo grub-set-default  "Windows Vista (loader) (on /dev/sda1)"
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> Edo: can you not restart x with the shortcut
[18:47] <rnddom> ActionParsnip, There are no entries in my /etc/default/grub file
[18:47] <RobC0> You ever work in a place with IMMOVABLE policies regarding I.T. ??   I've been having a good time setting up Ubuntu and "doing stuff."   Now the Security and Compliance team are upset because I have not installed anti-virus software on my Ubuntu machines.  WTH?
[18:47] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[18:47] <Dr_Willis> philinux:  now windows is the default. :)  if i wanted to reboot to windows. i could sort of make a script for that.
[18:47] <profxavier> i have Ubuntu running in a VM, the host and VM both have the IP <IP_ADDRESS>.  When I attempt to change the IP of the VM, it doesn't apply, how can I setup my VM to just grab another address [or should I just have it set to automatic, rather than static] ?
[18:48] <RobC0> We're apparently a Windoze only shop.
[18:48] <xueqimao> how to use the ubuntu
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> !manual | xueqimao
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> rnddom: sounds like you are using grub and not grub2

[18:48] <mirak> hi
[18:48] <mirak> I created an init script for a daemon that is not supposed to run as root. this dameon creates a pidfile in /var/run/foo.pid . Since /var/run should be only writtable by root, can I touch the file and chown it in the init script before start ?
[18:48] <Oer> !antivirus | RobC0
[18:48] <robotti^> RobC0: Maybe it is good to have antivirus installed
[18:48] <Edo> ActionParsnip: no, everything freezes, no response on any human inputs
[18:49] <Edo> ActionParsnip: no mouse, keyboard, etc
[18:49] <philinux> Dr_Willis: This is a good resource for grub if you've not seen it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275
[18:49] <rnddom> Thanks for the info, guys.  I'll go tinker now.
[18:49] <cixa> hello, everytime i try to connect to a server using nautilus i get this error: 'DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)' can anyone help me?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> profxavier: i'd set it as a static ip. You can use network manager or /etc/network/interfaces file
[18:49] <RobC0> Thanks ubottu.  Any chance I can find an authoritative article for these "certified" security professionals to choke on?
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> philinux:  thats one i pasted earlier I think. :)
[18:49] <rnddom> kyle_, Thank you for patiently walking me through the reasoning
[18:49] <RobC0> I'm sorry, I may have an inappropriate attitude.
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> philinux:  i got most of them bookmarked on my Delicious account  http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2
[18:50] <sprung> cixa, sudo service dbus start
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> Edo: re-enable ctrl+alt+backspace in keyboard settings. When it freezes hit the combination and it may restart x and let you log in, you can then read log files and especially dmesg
[18:50] <sprung> cixa then try
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> philinux:  i was just rereading that thread - they keep updating it. :)
[18:51] <philinux> Anyone ever had errno 5 input output error installing ubuntu
[18:51] <RobC0> robotti, if we're licensed for Trend, and their ServerProtect product appears to work on SuSE or RHEL, can I force it into Ubuntu?
[18:51] <profxavier> ActionParsnip, I did use the Netowkr Manager, but it doesn't show the changes I made...
[18:51] <sprung> philinux, test your ram using the memtest86+ option when you first try to install from the cd
[18:51] <sprung> philinux, bad ram would be the first possibility to eliminate.
[18:51] <Edo> ActionParsnip: I'll give it a try

[18:52] <sprung> well looks like cixa is probably fixed
[18:52] <philinux> sprung: windows xp on that machine does not complain. I'm reburning a new iso
[18:52] <philinux> sprung: I pulled both sticks and reinserted twice
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> Ive seen windoqws XP run with ram that was definatly bad... still not sure how it did it.. :)
[18:52] <sprung> philinux, Just because your windows xp isn't complaining doesn't mean you don't have bad ram. also verify the cd media too before installing to test for burn errors.
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> profxavier: could change you host ip to static then get updates then reboot the guest, then set the host back to dhcp
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> It would just crash a 'little' more often
[18:52] <ddavids> trism: have u seen it?
[18:53] <sprung> philinux, That means nothing.
[18:53] <sprung> philinux, You need to run a memory test.
[18:53] <philinux> sprun media verifies on this pc but shows one error on the compaq
[18:53] <RobC0> Is it true that if I don't run WINE then I'm pretty safe from bad things?
[18:53] <sprung> use memtest86+
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> Ive had memory slots go bad - and the chips ere good.
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> RobC0:  even using wine. you are decently safe. Unless you purpously run malware in wine.
[18:53] <kermit> i mem test every 100 days
[18:53] <philinux> I'll run memtest overnight
[18:53] <kermit> i've lost data to ram with a failing bit
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> RobC0: you are pretty safe anyway. Wine apps can be infected but that's all that will be hit
[18:54] <Lokote> Any one know how to set up the microphone and sound output jack on a desktop PC? I have sound from my speakers, but not from the frontward facing jacks I use to hook my headset up from.
[18:54] <sprung> philinux, it is also likely your cd has a media write error. Verify the media before installing. Yes, it takes a few extra minutes but troubleshooting takes a lot longer.
[18:54] <cixa> hello, sudo service dbus start didnt work, sorry i had to reboot
[18:54] <trism> ddavids: yes, that seems to be failing really early, very odd
[18:54] <RobC0> K, on a semi-related issue:  What is Damn Vulnerable Linux? Should I play with that?

[18:54] <stygian> LOL
[18:54] <MadRobot> Is there a solution for the CLEAR USB (Motorola w100) problem with Ubuntu?

[18:55] <philinux> sprung:  media verifies on this pc but shows one error on the compaq
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> Not heard of that RobC0 sounds a bit pointless
[18:55] <cixa> once again, the error i get with connecting with a server in nautilus is: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
[18:55] <stygian> leave it to the linux community to think of anything and everything to use linux for :P
[18:55] <sprung> RobC0, Damn Vulnerable Linux is a distribution that is intentionally completely absent of any security whatsoever. It is designed to test security exploits. It is made to be hacked.
[18:55] <cixa> can anyone help me?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> RobC0: sure you don't mean damn small linux?
[18:55] <andy__> If i'm having trouble mount a hard drive on my computer, what channel should i go to for help?
[18:55] <fabio__> hi guys. i have a wifi card- sveon brand. i notice my wifi goes much faster with windows than linux. doe sanyone know why?
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Andy__: you don't mount drives. You mount partitions
[18:56] <RobC0> Thinking if I can become familiar with possible attack vectors, I'd be better prepared to explain to Sec&Comp why Linux is not Windows..
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> Andy__: if its under ubuntu then you are in the right channel
[18:56] <geolr> Lokote: Possibly there is also a graphical app that does that better, but try alsamixer in a terminal. But be careful, can cause trouble
[18:56] <ddavids> trism: any ideas?
[18:56] <andy__> ok so here is my problem
[18:56] <sprung> philinux, if it shows an error, maybe it's a bad cd, or maybe you have a bad cdrom on the compaq. Reburn.
[18:56] <DanltheManl> What is it andy!?
[18:56] <trism> ddavids: perhaps try: mv ~/.local/share/rhythmbox ~/.local/share/rhythmbox-backup; that should cause rhythmbox to create a new library, and perhaps start correctly (you can always move it back later)
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> Fabio__: company's support windows more as it generates more revenue
[18:57] <Pici> RobC0: ##linux or ##security would be the best place to discuss this, as this isn't really Ubuntu related.
[18:57] <RobC0> Thanks Pici
[18:57] <Lokote> Geolr: I tried opening Preference>Sound and it does not even show a microphone jack under hardware. It just shows my USB webcame.
[18:57] <philinux> sprung: k3b is in action as we speak
[18:57] <sprung> philinux, You could still have bad RAM but things are starting to point to a bad cd or bad cdrom.
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> Fabio__: you may have a firmware file you need to download. Reboot and run: dmesg | less ,see what's going on
[18:57] <andy__> I bought a new hard drive for my tower and i want to pull all my old doc and media off of it but when i go to the folder in places it says it is lost.
[18:57] <ddavids> trism; do i sudo that
[18:57] <fabio__> whats dmesg?
[18:57] <Edowardo> ActionParsnip: just gave it a shot. System lockup completely. ctrl+alt+backspace does nothing.
[18:57] <trism> ddavids: no, it is in your home folder
[18:57] <sprung> fabio__, man dmesg
[18:57] <ddavids> trism; shld i just run that and try t=rhythmbox again
[18:57] <fabio__> k
[18:58] <philinux> sprung: maybe compaq dvd burner needs optical clean. I got it given and not been used for 9 months
[18:58] <trism> ddavids: yes, rhythmbox -d;
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Andy__: run: mount; sudo fdisk -l ,you will see what's mounted etc
[18:58] <sprung> fabio__, http://www.linfo.org/dmesg.html
[18:58] <geolr> Lokote: yes, i tried here as well. alsamixer is closed by pressing the escape key, if you'd like to try. But I'll search a bit.
[18:58] <ddavids> trism: ok
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Fabio__: it displays the kernel messages
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> !mount | andy__
[18:58] <fabio__> ahhh. so how is that supposed to make wifi work faster?
[18:58] <Edowardo> ActionParsnip: it seems to kill the OS at the core
[18:58] <sprung> philinux, possibly. If you moved it around you may have jarred it and broken something too. cdroms are cheap though
[18:59] <MadRobot> Is there a way to get the Motorola w100 wimax stick to work on Ubuntu?
[18:59] <andy__> ok one sec
[18:59] <ddavids> trism: same output...so i didnt bother pastebin
[18:59] <Edowardo> ActionParsnip: I've tried reinstalling rhythmbox, and some codecs, but I'm not sure if I got them all
[18:59] <Roasted> fabio__, it's not that it'll make your wifi run faster, but it'll diagnose via plain text messages what is going on, in which case a user here might be able to read the output and understand if the wifi card is acting "out of line"
[18:59] <Lokote> Geolr: Appreciate it. I have alsamixer open right now. I have a item called "Headphone" but when I try to raise it up, it doesn't do any thing.
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Faboi__: if you need a firmware file and you don't have it it will affect performance
[18:59] <ely> hi
[18:59] <sousar> hello
[19:00] <sprung> philinux, the last thing I might recommend is try burning the cd at a slower speed than whatever k3b says is Max. I have a burner and the system thinks it burns at 14x and it really only burns at 8x
[19:00] <ely> i have windows and ubuntu but i dont see the grub
[19:00] <Roasted> fabio__, it's the first step to troubleshooting, more or less. These users are here to help, so if you run that command as directed by ActionParsnip and report it back here, we might be able to move forward. :)
[19:00] <ely> how i could figure out that
[19:00] <abhijain> "#lug-jaipur"
[19:00] <fabio__> ahhh. ok thanks :D is the reboot necessary?
[19:00] <profxavier> sorry ActionParsnip, I was afk
[19:00] <geolr> Lokote: check if is says MM at the base of that column.
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Edowardo: all I can suggest is log a bug. Use a different player. There may be a ppa with a newer version.
[19:01] <profxavier> ActionParsnip, so its not changing because I need to apply the system updates first ? [i believe thats what you are trying to say...]
[19:01] <cixa> no one? please help with my nautilus error!
[19:01] <Lokote> Geolr: I upped every thing, and now I have sound coming from my headphones. How ever, I still have sound coming from my main speakers as well. Is there no way to get the sound to be "captured" by the headphones on plugin?
[19:01] <Edowardo> ActionParsnip: I'll do just that. Thanks.
[19:01] <sprung> cixa, Did you do what I told you to do?
[19:01] <sprung> cixa, sudo service dbus start
[19:01] <sprung> cixa, then try again
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> profxavier: if there is an identical ip on your lan then routing will fail
[19:02] <geolr> Lokote: hm, should be somehow. But I don't know about it. Check the forums maybe.
[19:02] <baol> I asked this on #OOo a few minutes ago, but without answer. I'm trying again here. In OpenOffice.org  Calc, when I paste selecting an entire column (clicking on a column header) it takes ages to complete (if it does not crash). I think it's because it is pasting the data up to 2^24 rows or something. Is there a way to prevent this behaviour?  (OOo3.1.1/Ubuntu 9.10). I've  not found anything searching the bug tracking system about this issue.
[19:02] <trism> ddavids: okay, I'm really not sure then, other than filing a bug against rhythmbox...did you recently change your theme before rhythmbox stopped working?
[19:02] <ddavids> trism: yes
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> profxavier: you could also ask in #vmware #vbox depending on the technology you used
[19:02] <Lokote> Geolr: Thank you very much for your help. I will look into joining the forum. Thanks again!
[19:03] <ddavids> trism: i have been trying out different themes in the last few days...
[19:03] <sudipta> i have a apple ipod shuffle that does not work with gtkpod every tile i try to load it...it pops up a warning message stating something about itunes database ...........plz hlp
[19:03] <sprung> cixa, Do you acknowledge that you read what I typed? Reply.
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> Baol: try installing 3.2 it may be a bug which has been fixed
[19:03] <geolr> Lokote: hope that helped :-) My alsamixer has also one column for "front"... Anyway if it says MM than its muted, press m to change it. Good luck!
[19:03] <ddavids> trism: but why wld a theme affect a music player(s)?
[19:03] <trism> ddavids: could you try changing it back and starting rhythmbox...I kind of doubt it will help, but it is my last idea (without debugging rhythmbox to see where it fails)
[19:04] <baol> ActionParnsnip, any solution without touching the box I use for work?
[19:04] <baol> ActionParsnip, something I can do as a normal user?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> ddavids: if the theme is corrupt and the OS tries to use it to draw the interface it may cause issues
[19:04] <ddavids> trism: wow, thanks but i have changed it a number of times and it didnt help
[19:04] <trism> ddavids: well, it crashes before it creates the rhythmbox shell (according to the debug output), so my thinking is it crashes because it sees something it doesn't like in the theme...but again, I'm kind of doubtful it would help at this poiknt
[19:04] <sprung> cixa, Did you read what I told you to do, or not?
[19:04] <philinux> sprung:  It's a compaq S5200UK
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Baol: you will need to add a ppa so sudo can be used (and gksu / kdesu)
[19:05] <cixa> sprung: yes i did, here is what i got: Job already running
[19:05]  * sprung sighs
[19:05] <baol> ActionParsnip, sudo is an admin thing. I have no root rights on the machine
[19:05] <sprung> cixa, I could have saved you a lot of time if you had just told me that.
[19:05] <cixa> sprung: sorry
[19:05] <scriptwarlock> sudipta: it should work install gtkpod-aac..
[19:05] <sprung> cixa, what's the error you are getting?
[19:05] <ddavids> ActionParsnip: how do i revert the theme then apart from System>Appearance cos i have done that...?
[19:06] <fabio__> i did mesg
[19:06] <cixa> sprung: 'Could not open location xxxx DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)' (where xxxx is my server)
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> ddavids: you can hack at the config or just rename the rhytmnbox config folder and you will get a vanilla one
[19:06] <fabio__> wlan associated etc direct probes
[19:06] <trainer> Hi which video cards have better compatibility with ubuntu, nvidia or ATI?
[19:06] <trism> ddavids: oh, one other idea would be to create a new user and see if rhythmbox runs for them, that would indicate a configuration problem, although still a bug since it shouldn't crash because of it
[19:06] <fabio__> ActionParnsnip: wlan0: no IPv6 routers present etc
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Baol: are you not a member of the admin group?
[19:07] <scriptwarlock> trainer: nvidia
[19:07] <DanltheManl> trainer: nvidia has better compatability I'd say. Nvidia wrote their own driver for ubuntu
[19:07] <sprung> cixa, sudo service dbus stop  then sudo service dbus start then try running nautilus again.
[19:07] <ddavids> ActionParsnip: i wish i knew what to hack at the terminal as im willing to try... then vanilla?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Fabio__: disabling ipv6 will stop that
[19:07] <baol> ActionParsnip, its a computer in the university, I'm not the sysadmin of the network
[19:08] <[d-_-b]> :)
[19:08] <mill_i> i use firefox latest stable version. from settings application tab i changed the png format to ask me what i want to do when i open a png file from firefox. but even i did this firefox opens png files automatically on a new tab of firefox. can you please help me abut this issue ... ?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> ddavids: hunt around your home folder for rhythmbox stuff
[19:08] <ddavids> trism: i'll try the new user thingy ryt away but wont the cinfig be the same?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> baol: ahhh I see
[19:08]  * sprung facepalms
[19:08] <sprung> why do people connect to support channels using tin cans and string
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> Baol: i'd let them know as well as tell them of the 3.2 release
[19:08] <trism> ddavids: the config should be a stock ubuntu one, without anything you may have customized for your user
[19:08] <fabio__> thank you ActionParsnip. You mean my wifi will be fast as in Windows? How do i disable ipv6
[19:09] <baol> ActionParsnip, not a solution for me
[19:09] <baol> ActionParsnip, thank you anyway
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> sprung: didn't know you could ;)
[19:09] <sprung> ActionParsnip, figure of speech
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> Fabio__: not sure, may help. I'd see about the firmware though
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> sprung: I guessed. Hence ;)
[19:11] <besogon> fabio__: I'm not intend to afraid you but it seems that ipv6 is compilled in the kernels
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> besogon: you can disable it with boot options
[19:11] <fabio__> ok
[19:12] <Mjiig> can anyone provide me with the exact command i need to use with nmap that will tell me the status of every port on computer on the same wifi address, if i know the local ip. This is so i can check my network security
[19:12] <fabio__> the speed seems to be going fast now thanks
[19:12] <cixa> sprung: are you here?
[19:12] <fabio__> maybe i was just too impatient lol i had just intalled ubuntu
[19:12] <sprung> cixa, sudo service dbus stop  then sudo service dbus start then try running nautilus again.
[19:12] <fabio__> thanks guys :)
[19:12] <sprung> cixa, Tell me what happens.
[19:12] <cixa> sprung: yes well i did that, and i had to reboot cos my system just hung
[19:12] <cixa> sprung: i am on maverick btw
[19:12] <piasdom> hi
[19:12] <gdoteof1> anyone know about differentiating between a trackpad and a trackpoint?
[19:12] <gdoteof1> i have a new thinkpad
[19:12] <baol> ActionParsnip, are you at least sure it's a bug that is solved in 3.2? If I go and ask the admins to upgrade and it does not solve the problem it would not be too easy for me to ask anything else in the future!"
[19:12] <andy__> i can now go into my old hard drive through places, but now when I got to the folder to open it I can an error saying "the link access your private data.desktop is broken. move to trash?
[19:13] <gdoteof1> and i am trying to disable the touchpad and just the the little red dot
[19:13] <cixa> gdoteof1: what kind?
[19:13] <gdoteof1> t410
[19:13] <scriptwarlock> Mjiig: #nmap
[19:13] <gdoteof1> cixa ^^
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Baol: not sure but keeping up with updates helps to fix issues
[19:13] <Mjiig> okay thanks
[19:13] <baol> ActionParsnip, this does not answer my question in any way, but thanks again
[19:14] <sprung> cixa, if you are on Maverick I think you're supposed to be in #ubuntu+1
[19:14] <sprung> cixa, this channel is intended for the Lucid build
[19:14] <bjegovic> i installed fluxbox, how can i go to synpatic ???????
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Baol: I don't know the app to that level of details. Why not check the changelog to see for yourself
[19:14] <piasdom> what else i need to do to enable proprietary drivers ? it's enabled but not in use. (hardy)thanks
[19:14] <cixa> gdoteof1: and how is it?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> bjegovic: gksudo synaptic
[19:14] <sprung> cixa, join #ubuntu+1 and ask there
[19:14] <gdoteof1> cixa, lol i like it.  but the trackpad is annoying as balls
[19:14] <gdoteof1> \and i want to turn it off
[19:14] <ddavids_> trism: i just used a new user and it worked...
[19:14] <gdoteof1> the synclient stuff isn't working
[19:15] <bjegovic> but how to go to terminal ?
[19:15] <ddavids_> trism: u there?
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> bjegovic: right click the desktop and the flux menu will appear
[19:15] <Wiebe> Gwibber wont start anymore.. "RuntimeError: Couchdb PID18653 exited.  Permissions?" is what i get when i run it via the terminal
[19:15] <sprung> cixa, you are in the wrong channel. You need to join the channel #ubuntu+1 which is where people go for alpha and beta releases of Ubuntu. This channel is for Lucid, not Maverick.
[19:15] <trism> ddavids_: yes, so definitely a config issue, when you switch back, you can try: rm -rf ~/.gconf/apps/rhythmbox; that should be the rest of your settings
[19:16] <trism> ddavids_: assuming rhythmbox settings are the problem
[19:16] <cixa> sprung: yes, thank you, i heard you the first two times
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> bjegovic: as you get better with it you can add entrys to your menu as you wish
[19:16] <sprung> cixa, ok, well you have a habit of not replying disconnecting
[19:16] <bjegovic> how? i dont have that option
[19:16] <cixa> sprung: that is because i had to keep rebooting! sorry about that
[19:16] <sprung> cixa, ok
[19:16] <ddavids_> trism: but if i remove it, do i need to create it again?
[19:17] <trism> ddavids_: rhythmbox should create a new one automatically
[19:17] <cixa> gdoteof1: how much did you buy it for?
[19:17] <slow-motion> hi
[19:17] <cryzed> Is anyone using the Catalyst drivers?
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> bjegovic: there are config files for it around the system. You can ask in #fluxbox too but the desktop is very well documented
[19:17] <gdoteof1> cixa, no idea.. it was given to me for a job
[19:17] <gdoteof1> just started today configuring it
[19:17] <ddavids_> ok i hope i see the code when i log back in, else i'll just ask u again pls
[19:17] <kat_serf> Hi all, I'm in the process of setting up a web server running Ubuntu, its physically at another location, is there anyway I can use the graphical tools on my ubuntu local install to configure it?
[19:17] <cixa> gdoteof1: and what do you make of it so far?
[19:18] <cryzed> Is anyone using the Catalyst drivers?
[19:18] <gdoteof1> cixa, i had a thinkpad years ago that i really liked
[19:18] <trism> ddavids_: yes, I'll repeat it if necessary
[19:18] <gdoteof1> so far it seems solid
[19:18] <guntbert> kat_serf: no, but you can ssh -X into the remote server
[19:18] <oCean_> cryzed: easy on the repeats please
[19:18] <gdoteof1> ubuntu worked out of the box for everything
[19:18] <gdoteof1> i haven't tested wireless yet
[19:18] <cryzed> oCean_, first repeat
[19:18] <sprung> kat_serf, Gadmin-httpd
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> kat_serf: doubtful. You can vnc to headless servers though. Learning to use the command line makes servers nice
[19:18] <Lamba> lo all. has anyone here managed to get lirc working. particually with an audigy ex ?
[19:18] <kat_serf> guntbert what does -X do?
[19:19] <piasdom> thanks anyway....later
[19:19] <bjegovic> what is faster braowser then firefox? facebook lag to me
[19:19] <ddavids> trism: i have run the command, wht next pls?
[19:19] <sprung> kat_serf, oh maybe i don't understand your question. Are you looking for a GUI for your web server's configuration?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> kat_serf: you can use webmin too (the newer versions are debian/ubuntu friendly)
[19:19] <guntbert> kat_serf: it forwards any X windows of the remote server to your machine
[19:19] <sprung> bjegovic, swiftfox.
[19:19] <MadRobot> Is there a way to get the Motorola w100 wimax stick to work on Ubuntu?
[19:19] <sprung> bjegovic, iceweasel is good too.
[19:19] <sprung> bjegovic, chrome isnt terrible either
[19:19] <oCean_> cryzed: yeah, within 2 minutes. Wait at least some 15 or 20 minutes. Also, you might better aks your real question
[19:20] <bjegovic> how can i install it? i am on fluxbox
[19:20] <LLLLL> Hello, is there a program for Ubuntu that compresses 1 at a time PDF files that are 300MB big into smaller MB?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> MadRobot: run: sudo lshw -C network ,websearch for the product line for the wifi to find guides
[19:20] <trism> ddavids: just try starting rhythmbox again in the terminal
[19:20] <scriptwarlock> bjegovic: epiphany
[19:20] <kat_serf> Webmin may be what I want...
[19:20] <sprung> MadRobot, Of course! Just write the drivers!
[19:20] <oCean_> !webmin | kat_serf
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> bjegovic: chrome is fast
[19:20] <ddavids> trism: same pastebin output
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> oCean_: it does work now dude
[19:20] <profxavier> ugh
[19:20] <cixa> anyone have tips on what thinkpad i should get? i have looked at the x301 and now at the t410.
[19:20] <sprung> kat_serf, To summarize, swiftfox, iceweasel and chrome
[19:20] <trism> ddavids: so it is still crashing?
[19:20] <LLLLL> Chrome gives out all personal information. Firefox is safer in thataspect.
[19:21] <oCean_> ActionParsnip: yeah, same here. But does that mean it's supported?
[19:21] <bebo> ant one know a good and fast pdf reader
[19:21] <ddavids> trism: yes
[19:21] <sprung> kat_serf, you should have Chrome anyway just in case there's something that firefox won't render that Chrome can.
[19:21] <xangua> LLLLL: then use chromium
[19:21] <LLLLL> Hello, is there a program for Ubuntu that compresses 1 at a time PDF files that are 300MB big into smaller MB?
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> oCean_: its in the repos so my guess is yes
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> LLLLL: use a script
[19:21] <kat_serf> does webmin require I have a web server already working? or does it come with its own?
[19:22] <tuxx-> hey guys, is there any commandline tool in ubuntu to change your keyboard options?
[19:22] <oCean_> ActionParsnip: aha, understood.
[19:22] <LLLLL> have no idea how to do that.
[19:22] <bebo> ant one know a good and fast pdf reader
