[03:47] <craigbass1976> smw, Sorry, you probably missed the first part
[03:47] <wolfjb> trojan_spike: ok, I'll try that
[03:48] <racines> installer*, it says: "/dev/sdc1" 8102MB
[03:48] <trojan_spike> wolfjb, tell me when its done
[03:48] <racines> and theres no free space this time
[03:48] <linusasus6> Ubuntu and Debian = freedom Microsoft and apple = jail
[03:48] <smw> craigbass1976, you never said that. You wanted to see the terminal again... not run after the terminal closes
[03:48] <bodev> omg
[03:48] <Sean93> none of my drive auto mount, in /media/ i just have ".hal-mtab-lock". help me
[03:48] <Sean93> drives*
[03:48] <KM0201> does anyone know wher echrome keeps its browser cache?
[03:49] <chattan> rww: thank , I C
[03:49] <magicjoe> dow anyone know how to extract icons from an theme.index file or an icons.cache file?
[03:49] <racines> is it supposed to be one partition? theres only one: "/dev/sdc1" 8102MB
[03:49] <jose__> racines okay good
[03:49] <pavanai> smw:do u know which one is mod4 key on keyboard?
[03:49] <magicjoe> correction index.theme
[03:49] <jose__> yes, let's go with what other's said and not make swap
[03:49] <racines> I cannot use the "Add" button but I can use the "Change" button
[03:49] <smw> pavanai, you are asking the wrong person
[03:49] <racines> okay so
[03:49] <jose__> that's correct racines. Choose sdc1
[03:49] <racines> now what, I just set the boot loader to sdc1?
[03:49] <pavanai> [thor]:thnx i got it
[03:50] <craigbass1976> smw, sorry, I thought being able to use the same terminal after running a command would amount to the same thing.  I also want to be able to fire up a browser remotely and then use the same terminal to get into mysql.  This should work for that as well.
[03:50] <jose__> wait
[03:50] <pavanai> smw:sry
[03:50] <Sean93> none of my drives auto mount, in /media/ i just have ".hal-mtab-lock". help me
[03:50] <jose__> choose sdc1, and click edit. Set the settings as follows
[03:50] <pavanai> [thor]:1 more doubt which 1 is the mod 4 key?
[03:50] <jose__> http://www.infosecramblings.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/snapshot7.png
[03:51] <jose__> taken from someone else's guide by the way but it shows well
[03:51] <[thor]> pavanai: i think Mod4 is SUPER ( Windows logo key )
[03:51] <jose__> racines good?
[03:51] <wolfjb> trojan_spike: that doesn't seem to have done anything
[03:51] <craigbass1976> smw, and it does!  Thanks
[03:51] <smw> craigbass1976, np. :-)
[03:51] <racines> okay
[03:51] <linusasus6> I dunno why they kill John F Kennedy they should just destroy Microsoft  and Linux will be perfect with everything he need all the ressource he need
[03:51] <magicjoe> oh my god. i just want to use the icon for "computer" from the theme ubuntu-mono-dark but use a different icon theme. it looks like a computer with a purple desktop screen on it. kind of like the initial setup on OS X. anyone have this icon?
[03:51] <racines> now what about the boot loader
[03:51] <racines> do I set it to: "sdc1" or "sdc" ?
[03:51] <Sean93> doesn anyone know what .hal-mtab-lock is?
[03:51] <pavanai> [thor]:then wt abt SUPER_L
[03:52] <pavanai> [thor]:is that windows key?
[03:52] <smw> pavanai, super is windows key
[03:52] <jose__> http://www.infosecramblings.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/snapshot10-1.png
[03:52] <jose__> sdc
[03:52] <racines> gives me two options: "/dev/sdc PNY USB 2.0 FD (8.1GB" or "/dev/sdc1" for boot loader
[03:52] <jose__> normal
[03:52] <trojan_spike> wolfjb, log out ,, then when at log in screen before password,, look at bottom at 'desktop environment' or something like that.. Choose netbook 2D ,, i think it is
[03:52] <FloodBot1> jose__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:52] <pavanai> ok
[03:52] <pavanai> wt is this mod4
[03:52] <Sean93> doesn anyone know what .hal-mtab-lock is?
[03:53] <jose__> racines, click install and you should be good
[03:53] <mitzed> hey
[03:53] <racines> so sdc?
[03:53] <mitzed> hi
[03:53] <mitzed> all
[03:53] <linusasus6> well thank have a good night long life to Ubuntu and Debian
[03:53] <jose__> yes, sdc
[03:53] <racines> kk
[03:54] <Fezzler> How can I solve or trouble shoot this newly sluggish GUI
[03:54] <Sean93> none of my drives auto mount, in /media/ i just have ".hal-mtab-lock". help me
[03:54] <jose__> You should be good after the install is done
[03:54] <wolfjb> trojan_spike: 'ubuntu netbook edition'  was selected already
[03:54] <racines> Okay
[03:54] <racines> So does a full install run faster than a live usb?
[03:54] <pavanai> smw:i changd the key combo
[03:54] <mitzed> anyone can help me
[03:54] <jose__> just make sure to boot into the USB and not your hard drive when you turn the computer on
[03:54] <racines> Because the live takes literally like 4-5 minutes just to startup
[03:54] <holoseen> Sean93, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/media-hal-mtab-and-media-hal-mtab-lock-617298/
[03:54] <jose__> racines, I don't know. Ive never used a live usb
[03:54] <mitzed>  i need a  video converter for ubuntu
[03:54] <smw> pavanai, sweet, want to tech me?
[03:55] <pavanai> [thor]:i changed key combo its working now;)
[03:55] <racines> how long does your USB full isntall take to startup on average?
[03:55] <wolfjb> trojan_spike: ok, so I chose 'desktop' which at least puts the apps in the menus where I can find them
[03:55] <smw> pavanai, I need to learn this new "gui" thing :-)
[03:55] <jose__> I suppose it depends on the flash drive
[03:55] <magicjoe> wolfjb: i sort of read what you want to do earlier.....just throwing it out there. but have you TRIED System>Preferences>MAIN MENU?
[03:55] <pavanai> smw:tech?
[03:55] <jose__> I'd say maybe 2 minutes
[03:55] <racines> k
[03:55] <[thor]> pavanai: good to know!
[03:55] <wolfjb> magicjoe: yes
[03:55] <smw> pavanai, teach
[03:55] <trojan_spike> wolfjb, take out unity then.. open synaptic ,, search 'unity' and uninstall
[03:55] <jose__> It works well enough for my purposes lol
[03:55] <wolfjb> magicjoe: I enabled several menus which weren't enabled, but didn't see a change
[03:55] <Shaba1> Hello I am going to repeat my question. someone might have answered but I was afk
[03:55] <microc0sm> i installed a .deb package called easy tether to use my phone for internet connection. i cant get it to work so i want to uninstall but dont know how...
[03:55] <racines> Ah well thanks for all the help :)
[03:55] <Sean93> holoseen, that didn't help at all
[03:56] <pavanai> smw:click system-->preferences-->keyboard shortcuts
[03:56] <smw> pavanai, thanks
[03:56] <MrAnthrope> Is there a hardware channel?
[03:56] <jose__> racines sure thing. Hope it all works good
[03:56] <MrAnthrope> !hardware
[03:56] <rww> MrAnthrope: ##hardware
[03:56] <jose__> if not guess I'll see you tomorrow on here :)
[03:56] <Shaba1> My install of wubi has something calle totem media player as the default video viewer. For some reason it does not play vids from the windows side with audio, but VLC does. How do I make VLC the default video player?
[03:56] <microc0sm> ubuntu software center doesnt show it as installed but when i ran the .deb file it seems to have installed through there
[03:56] <magicjoe> wolfjb: some of the menus will stay hidden until you manually add programs into them. its not just going to sort out education programs for you once you enable the menu section.
[03:56] <mitzed> anyone knows a good video converter for ubuntu
[03:56] <mitzed> ?
[03:56] <mitzed> mm
[03:56] <Sean93> none of my drives auto mount, in /media/ i just have ".hal-mtab-lock". help me
[03:56] <pavanai> smw:do down u will find an entry hide all windows
[03:57] <smw> pavanai, thanks, I am good
[03:57] <pavanai> smw:change that shortcut key thats all:)
[03:57] <wolfjb> magicjoe: I already installed educational apps, they show up in the desktop view, but not in the netbook view
[03:57] <ubuntu> i will try debian
[03:57] <microc0sm> i ran the file again and the only option throught the software center is to reinstall no remove options
[03:58] <pavanai> how much time it will take to install ffmpeg?
[03:58] <pavanai> am on it since 30 mins
[03:58] <jose__> pavanai not very long
[03:58] <jose__> I'm sure that's not normal
[03:58] <Sean93> none of my drives auto mount, in /media/ i just have ".hal-mtab-lock". help me
[03:58] <pavanai> jose_:nw its ok
[03:58] <mitzed> f*ck u
[03:59] <Sean93> I cant access any of my drives
[03:59] <jose__> Okay, gonna roll people
[03:59] <jose__> Kinda late here
[03:59] <mitzed> this chanel sucks
[03:59] <rww> mitzed: Watch the language, please.
[03:59] <jose__> mitzed, why's that?
[03:59] <Auriga> Anyone know anything about Moblock?
[03:59] <jose__> Nope
[03:59] <smw> !anyone | Auriga
[03:59] <mitzed> i was asking  for something and
[04:00] <mitzed>  none
[04:00] <racines> lol
[04:00] <Auriga> Does that mean you know something about Moblock?
[04:00] <Sean93> mitzed, i have been here asking for an hour
[04:00] <Fezzler> mitzed Well, it is not like it used to be that is for sure
[04:00] <smw> Auriga, it means you should ask the question. I have never heard of it
[04:01] <dio525i> i'm trying to create a softlink directory from an external drive into a user directory that needs to be accessed from ftp when vsftpd is set to lock users into their homedir...is this possible?
[04:01] <jose__> Well, see ya peeps around. Good luck racines, hope I helped.
[04:01] <Auriga> THen if you haven't heard of it... How can you help?
[04:01] <Sean93> none of my drives auto mount, in /media/ i just have ".hal-mtab-lock". help me
[04:01] <holoseen> Sean93, maybe your automount is turned off. try this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB
[04:01] <wyclif> I use Pidgin for IM. Unfortunatly I've found it's impossible to delete saved "Away" messages. I had thought you could just hover over an Away mssg and press Delete to permanently delete them, but after quitting and starting again the mssgs are still there. What am I missing?
[04:01] <smw> Auriga, I am not sure I can, but someone else might. Ask the real question
[04:02] <mitzed>  i need a video converter for  ubuntu
[04:02] <mitzed> i cant install avidemuxç
[04:02] <twiztid> sup gang... i needed help setting up a static ip address in mavrick... could anyone help?
[04:02] <mitzed> ffmpg doesnt work
[04:02] <em> Folks this is a desperate issue -- I have Maverick here and I have an HP Pavilion dv6. Every time I close the lid for a little while I never get the display back. The only way is to turn it off and back on again.
[04:02] <Auriga> Mitzed I was told that kdenlive has that capability, don't know if it's true though.
[04:02] <mitzed>  arista trancoder doesnt work
[04:02] <mitzed>  anything work
[04:03] <Fezzler> My GUI seems to be sluggish.  Buttons don't respond immediately.  Happens in file browser, web browser, app switching - all things that worked well before
[04:03] <KM0201> Fezzler: do you have like 40 instances of gnome running again?
[04:03] <smw> Fezzler, when was the last time you restarted?
[04:03] <wyclif> re: Pidgin. When I use the drop-down menu to open the "Saved statuses" panel I find it empty--even though the saved statuses are still in the away messages selection
[04:03] <twiztid> ive gone through a few tutorials on setting up a static ip but afterwards... my connections icon is missing! and i have to retort the /etc/network/interfaces file back to default
[04:04] <Sean93> holoseen, my automount is on
[04:04] <Fezzler> KM0201> Never really figured out how to see if inappropriate apps of functions are running.  smw> recently
[04:04] <wyclif> Anyway, in Pidgin it seems quite impossible to delete saved Away messages permanently. Once you use one, you're stuck with it forever.
[04:05] <KM0201> Fezzler: wasn't it you that was getting a ton of something opening, and as stuttering your system the other day
[04:05] <Fezzler> smw> only thing I know happened recently is my entire desktop got trashed and I had to reinstall it.  And I update my nvidia driver
[04:06] <holoseen> Sean93, its odd because when I disabled my automount, usb devices would not mount. Enabling it meant they would mount.
[04:06] <smw> Fezzler, that could cause it
[04:06] <Fezzler> smw> ideas for remediation?
[04:06] <smw> Fezzler, a problem with the nvidia driver could cause that.
[04:06] <smw> Fezzler, downgrade?
[04:06] <wyclif> Nobody here uses Pidgin?
[04:07] <holoseen> Sean93, are you running maverick?
[04:07] <twiztid> i justwant to set up a static ip so when i tell windows WINS what ip will be connection to its shares... but each time i try to do it, after i restart, my connectios icon is gone and im forced to reload the default /etc/network/interfaces file and change back to dchp
[04:07] <Sean93> holoseen, yes
[04:07] <KM0201> wyclif: not for IRC...
[04:07] <Fezzler> smw> nope, was having trouble getting compiz to work so I tried nvidia-common; then went back to nvidia-173 (recommended)
[04:07] <holoseen> Sean93, just for grins, how long has it been installed?
[04:07] <em> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/692164
[04:07] <wyclif> KM0201: no, for IM
[04:08] <em> i have that same problem ^
[04:08] <twiztid> what the easiest way of goin about setting up ubuntu 10.10 on a static ip address?
[04:08] <KM0201> wyclif: well it's a pretty straightforward program.. whats the problem?
[04:08] <smw> Fezzler, maybe you have too much compiz stuff running
[04:08] <KM0201> twiztid: you need to do that through your router, has nothng to do w/ ubuntu...
[04:08] <Sean93> holoseen, im not sure, a few months?
[04:08] <wyclif> KM0201: I cannot delete any saved "Away" messages
[04:08] <Fezzler> smw> you think uninstall and reinstall nvidia drivers
[04:08] <twiztid> KM0201: but wont that affect other users who have their pcs set to dhcp
[04:09] <jasono> Hey all.
[04:09] <wyclif> KM0201: I had thought you could hover over a particular saved Away message and press Delete, but when I restart Pidgin the old mssgs are still saved. Why?
[04:09] <jasono> Who needed a converter for Ubuntu?
[04:09] <jasono> DeVeDe is a really good one.
[04:09] <mitzed> thks auriga
[04:09] <KM0201> twiztid: no it doesn't.. you keep dhcp assigned.. then assign an IP to your router.. 99% of routers do this quite easily, i know netgear does
[04:09] <Auriga> That program will help you, or you are checking it?
[04:09] <Auriga> Would be good to know if it really can...
[04:10] <wyclif> KM0201: Also, opening "Saved Statuses" shows an empty panel...even though the saved messages still appear in the app.
[04:10] <KM0201> wyclif: dunno... what version of pidgin are you using?
[04:10] <wyclif> KM0201: Pidgin 2.7.3
[04:10] <mitzed> im  checking
[04:10] <KM0201> wyclif: dunno man
[04:10] <MrKeuner> hello, in Gnome, how is it possible to run a script upon: 1-screen lock?, 2-session logout?
[04:11] <sync3times> twiztid, why not just go into network settings and set it for a static address?   Just make sure the ip address you choose is outside the dhcp range
[04:11] <twiztid> KM0201: assign an ip to my router? ive set up countless static ip addresses with windows but never had so much trouble before with ubuntu...
[04:11] <holoseen> Sean93, heres a long shot, read this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/fix-usb-devices-automount-not-working.html
[04:12] <KM0201> twiztid: i have no idea what you're trying to do... i static'd all my PC's in 2min from my router.. i'm not sure why you'd want to use the OS to do this.
[04:12] <smw> MrKeuner, youo may want to check #gnome
[04:12] <twiztid> sync3times: oh the static ip has to be OUT of dchps range?  i though all this time that a static ip was a stationary ip that resided within dchp's list?
[04:12] <KM0201> twiztid: what kind of router do you have?
[04:12] <Fezzler> smw> are you saying I should downgrade the driver or try a new one?
[04:12] <twiztid> KM0201: linksys wrt54g
[04:12] <Sean93> holoseen, My automount only stopped working a few hours ago, it sounds like his never worked
[04:12] <KM0201> i'm sure there's a way to assign IP addresses.
[04:13] <sync3times> twiztid, no, you can just -set- your ip address statically, but the router may assign another machine to that address unless you put your machine outside its range
[04:13] <sync3times> KM0201, some people do not have admin access to their routers
[04:13] <smw> Fezzler, truthfully, I have no idea. I would first disable compiz affects
[04:13] <Sean93> holoseen, just re-read it, i was wrong
[04:13] <Fezzler> OT: anyone know where I can go to get some basic tips on mIRC?  Switched from XChat and need some help
[04:13] <smw> Fezzler, then try to switch to the driver I was using when it worked
[04:13] <KM0201> sync3times: i dunno, seem sstrnage to me.. a router assigns IP addresses... a PC doesn't tell the router what it wants... at least in my experience
[04:13] <Fezzler> smw> Well, that was easy because I never got them going  :)
[04:14] <holoseen> Sean93, were you messing with wireless drivers lately?
[04:14] <icarus-c> Fezzler, isn't mirc a Windows only software
[04:14] <Sean93> holoseen, no, the only thing i did defferntly today was burn a disc using Imgburn in wine
[04:14] <Fezzler> icarus-c> Oh, is it?  I was looking for XChat options
[04:15] <twiztid> sync3times: gotcha... ok that makes some sense... ill look into it a little bit more... but ya, basiclly i would like to set up my ubuntu laptop to a static ip so when i tell windows netbios over tcp/ip what ip address will be connectiong to its shares.. hopefully solves my, "unable to mount location. failed to mount Windows share" error with samba... :(
[04:15] <holoseen> Sean93, interesting. Have you tried logging on as another user?
[04:15] <Sean93> i don't have another user
[04:15] <chris_osx> Fezzler: why do you come to #ubuntu to ask questions about windows software?
[04:15] <Sean93> holoseen,  i don't have another user
[04:16] <chris_osx> or do you run mirc on wine?
[04:16] <sync3times> KM0201,  the router dhcp server is a service and is optional.   You can turn it off.    The router just passes packets.   Thats it.   I will admit that letting the router do it can be better in the case where the router does not provide dns forwarding.   and laptops almost always want to stay dhcp
[04:16] <holoseen> Sean93, you can create another user easily. I am thinking that some permissions or other config got screwed up. Try another user.
[04:17] <sync3times> twiztid, will your laptop be leaving the house?
[04:17] <ShapeShifter499> anyone know a good firewall for ubuntu?
[04:17] <twiztid> sync3times: maybe... and thats a big maybe in the event that i would like to teamview it
[04:17] <twiztid> sync3times: teamview to my pc that is
[04:17] <Sean93> holoseen, how do i add a user?
[04:18] <sync3times> twiztid, dunno what teamview is.   Are you setting the wireless fixed or the wired or both
[04:18] <twiztid> sync3times: but otherwise no, all i want is to ba able to access my shared external harddrive that is connected to my XP machine from ubuntu by auto mounting it in fstab
[04:18] <knoppies> I have a question about XBMC, when I play movies on it, the coloring is all wrong. A bit like one of the RGB colors is missing, and sometimes it comes back, but then another color drops out. I have fiddled with the settings, but cannot seem to fix it. I have a radeon HD5470 in a laptop. any ideas?
[04:18] <smw> ShapeShifter499, for what purpose?
[04:19] <holoseen> Sean93, goto System (at the top), then administration, then users and groups.
[04:19] <ShapeShifter499> smw, keeping my computer safe when running a irc server like ircd
[04:19] <twiztid> sync3times: teamview is a free remote desktop assistance viewer that works extreamly well for bing free
[04:19] <smw> ShapeShifter499, a firewall will not keep your computer safe.
[04:19] <mitzed> in ubuntu is possible add the sources   of edubuntu  ? are the same or not? and how can i do it?
[04:20] <ShapeShifter499> smw, someone on ##linux suggested that
[04:20] <sync3times> twiztid,   that should work without fixing the IP address by using netbios name resolution to find the machine.
[04:20] <knoppies> mitzed, yes it is possible, I think they are in the default repository.
[04:20] <smw> ShapeShifter499, a firewall is not what you are looking for
[04:20] <Fezzler> chris_osx> I didn't know it was just Windows platform.  Relax.  Why do you have osx in your handle in a ubuntu channel?
[04:20] <ShapeShifter499> smw  ok what ?>
[04:20] <knoppies> mitzed, do you know how to use synaptic (in Gnome, Im not sure what the KDE version is called)
[04:20] <smw> ShapeShifter499, a firewall really does not do much.
[04:20] <steiner> how do i get my radeon x1300 xge card to work? i have to run in low resolution, it said no device detected. i replaced an nividia card but did not uninstall the prop drivers
[04:20] <mitzed> mm  yes
[04:21] <smw> ShapeShifter499, you just don't need a firewall
[04:21] <ShapeShifter499> smw  ya but I don't want a hacker attack
[04:22] <smw> ShapeShifter499, a firewall is for controlling access based on ports. That is not useful for much
[04:22] <twiztid> sync3times: so i should make sure netbios over tcp/ip is enabled but what do i put in WINS for ipadresses?  or is there a simpler way of automounting windows shares when ubuntu starts up? ive tried for days to mount this windows share but always get, "unable to mount location. failed to mount windows share"
[04:22] <shawn146> why don't i see "[[118640.111000]] sd 1:0:0:0: [[sda]] Attached SCSI removable disk" on the line of dmesg | tail
[04:22] <shawn146> ?
[04:22] <knoppies> mitzed, if you search edubuntu in synaptic, I get a list of edubuntu packages. If you want all the packages that come from a standard edubuntu disk, then you can either use the disk as a repository, or you will have to find the packages.
[04:22] <ShapeShifter499> smw  what do you suggest than?
[04:22] <ShapeShifter499> *then
[04:22] <[thor]> ShapeShifter499: ufw comes stock ( use the command 'man ufw' on the CLI )
[04:23] <ShapeShifter499> [thor], is there a gui for that?
[04:23] <mitzed>  i hve a cd of edubuntu 7.10
[04:23] <mitzed> i can use it
[04:23] <smw> ShapeShifter499, secure your ircd right. That is the only way to stop a "hacker attack"
[04:23] <mitzed> ?
[04:23] <sync3times> twiztid,  have you tried just using smbclient by the command line?   Does that work by name, or just by IP address?   Are you sure you are using the right name?
[04:23] <[thor]> ShapeShifter499: search the software center for "Firewall Configuration"
[04:23] <chris_osx> Fezzler: i am totally relaxed. i was just curious why you come up with that question in #ubuntu.   Just wanted to see if ubuntu crowd is using it
[04:26] <judgepg> OldBlue: check out irssi
[04:26] <ShapeShifter499> [thor], ok then thanks
[04:26] <OldBlue> love irssi - sings - just don't have time to tweak
[04:27] <shawn146> was that a ban?
[04:27] <steiner> how do i get open source drivers for radeon x1300 graphics card?
[04:27] <OldBlue> find my self tweaking irssi all the time to see what it can do
[04:27] <judgepg> OldBlue: do you have something specific in mind?
[04:28] <rww> !modes > shawn146
[04:28] <OldBlue> nope
[04:28] <OldBlue> i like irssi
[04:28] <shawn146> oh

[04:29] <twiztid> sync3times: mount: can't find //xptwiztid/slave in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[04:29] <deeeed> hi
[04:29] <sync3times> twiztid, no //   do you have an entry in fstab for the filesystem?
[04:29] <deeeed> I am trying to mount an hfsplus hd as rw but it doesn't work
[04:29] <deeeed> it's always mounted as read-only
[04:29] <deeeed> mount -t hfsplus -o rw,force /dev/sdb1 SAMSUNG/
[04:29] <deeeed> any idea why ?
[04:30] <knoppies> deeeed, try using sudo??
[04:30] <twiztid> sync3times: not anymore... i clean installed... to many changes
[04:30] <sync3times> ah
[04:30] <shawn146> do i ahve to use CFDisk for partitioning my 512 MB compact flash disk for jlime?
[04:30] <deeeed> knoppies, I do this as root...
[04:31] <knoppies> deeeed, Im not sure, let me man mount.
[04:32] <sync3times> twiztid,  ok.   Frankly,  I would not do the fstab for a laptop.    I would concentrate on writing a little script that will reliably mount the drive.   And then make a button to run the script
[04:32] <sync3times> twiztid, you dont want to get in a situation where you take the laptop on the road and have it hang trying to mount stuff that isnt there
[04:32] <knoppies> deeeed, if you try using the switch -w?
[04:32] <deeeed> same
[04:33] <twiztid> sync3times: ya! true that... even on shutdown.... so how would i go about that? i cant even mount it in nautilus
[04:33] <knoppies> deeeed, Im not sure. Maybe it has something to do with permissions, like the directory tree structure has someone else set as its owner and you only have read-only permissions??
[04:33] <shawn146> how big should a swap partition be?
[04:34] <shawn146> for linux
[04:34] <shawn146> small linux
[04:34] <deeeed> I tried to changed the permissions etc... and mI am running as root

[04:35] <intok> Will Aquaria run on a GMA900? Running it, I get the loading screen, but it crashes out once fully loaded
[04:35] <spartan7> can the login screen for ubuntu NR 10.04 be changed?
[04:36] <shawn146> what about for JLime
[04:36] <sync3times> twiztid,    can you   mount   -t   smbfs    //pcname/sharename    /mountpoint     and it work?
[04:36] <shawn146> adifferent distro
[04:36] <knoppies> deeeed, is it maybe a flash card with a 'read only' switch on it?
[04:36] <deeeed> knoppies, it's not
[04:36] <krannx2> spartan7 i have actually been trying to figure that out forever, which part are you trying to change?
[04:36] <shawn146> this distro is about 256 MEGS
[04:36] <shawn146> *MB;s
[04:36] <knoppies> sparkie, Im not sure about the NR, but I downgraded gdm to 2.20 on 10.04, it gave me the old login screen.
[04:37] <knoppies> sorry sparkie, that was for spartan7
[04:37] <rww> shawn146: no idea, go ask them. This channel's for Ubuntu ;P
[04:37] <knoppies> spartan7, read up.
[04:37] <Shaba1> My install of wubi has something calle totem media player as the default video viewer. For some reason it does not play vids from the windows side with audio, but VLC does. How do I make VLC the default video player?
[04:37] <twiztid> sync3times: mount error: could not resolve address for xptwiztid: No address associated with hostname
[04:38] <intok> Will Aquaria run on a GMA900? Running it, I get the loading screen, but it crashes out once fully loaded
[04:38] <sync3times> twiztid,   does it work substituting ip address for the pcname?
[04:39] <icarus-c> Shaba1, you may need to install certain gstreamer plugins for totem to play some video/audio format.  anyway, to make vlc as default play, you could  go System -> Preferences -> Preferred application -> Multimedia
[04:39] <shawn146> oh sorry
[04:39] <shawn146> found the channel
[04:39] <mutebuntu> what does /bin/sh: sudo: not found mean?
[04:39] <twiztid> sync3times: Unable to find suitable address.  ???
[04:39] <sync3times> twiztid,    can you ping your xp machine?
[04:40] <knoppies> Shaba1, you could also change the default player of each audio/video format individually.
[04:40] <knoppies> mutebuntu, if you just type in sudo echo "hello"?
[04:41] <jjmwood> Can someone help me with a problem?
[04:41] <Random832> jjmwood: maybe. ask your question
[04:41] <mitzed> jjmwood , problem?
[04:42] <mutebuntu> same knoppies
[04:42] <spartan7> krannx2, the part where you choose user and enter password
[04:42] <twiztid> sync3times: host unreachable...   makes sense
[04:42] <jjmwood> well i used ubuntu before with Vista and didnt have a problem but now i have it with XP installed and it always freezes and the screene goes in a zig zag kinda way
[04:43] <jjmwood> it happens randomly
[04:43] <spartan7> krannx2, have not found many articles on 10.04 or 10.10. I have on older version
[04:43] <krannx2> spartan7, http://www.n00bsonubuntu.net/content/how-to-change-the-login-screen-of-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat-2/
[04:43] <knoppies> mutebuntu, it seems as though your sudo is either not where it should be, or not installed. Im not sure how to install it without sudo (unless you login with root, can you do that??) Are you running ubuntu?
[04:43] <mitzed> jjmwood yre using  dual boot
[04:43] <mutebuntu> knoppies, im stuck in initramfs
[04:43] <mitzed>  or virtual machines
[04:43] <mitzed> ?
[04:43] <ubuntu> nick omega
[04:43] <krannx2> spartan7: but if you want more custimazation then that i cant help you, as that is actually what im trying to figure out
[04:44] <mutebuntu> and for some reason my usb drive installers wont work
[04:44] <needlez> mutebuntu: whats your issue??
[04:44] <knoppies> mutebuntu, I dont know anything about that. Im sorry.
[04:44] <jjmwood> mitzed: What?
[04:44] <omegafd> where can i get help with dmraid
[04:44] <spartan7> krannx2, im starting with this. thank you for the link
[04:44] <needlez> jjmwood: are you using VMware or virtualbox or is it a dual boot thats what he wants to kno
[04:45] <jjmwood> its dual booted with XP right now.
[04:45] <knoppies> krannx2, spartan7. I downgraded gdm to version 2.20 using an old 9.10 repository with 10.04, I assume you can do the same with 10.10. I haven't tried yet. It seemed to work without any problems.
[04:45] <steiner> what do i do if the opensource radeon drivers do not work?
[04:45] <mutebuntu> thanks, knoppies. needlez, i cant boot into gui and im stuck in initranmfs console. ive tried a variety of methods to reinstall from a flash drive, but the computer freezes
[04:45] <mitzed> if you have windows xp installed on yre hd  or you are using a program like virtual vox to run xp
[04:45] <krannx2> thanks knoppies, ill try that
[04:46] <jjmwood> its on my local Hard drive
[04:46] <jjmwood> no Its dual booted with XP
[04:47] <knoppies> krannx2, I hope it works and that it doesn't screw up your GDM, I do know that it tried to start gdm twice, so you have to remove one.
[04:47] <spartan7> knoppies, good idea thanks
[04:47] <krannx2> oh well that could be an issue haha
[04:47] <knoppies> spartan7, my pleasure. It does try start GDM twice, so you have to remove one of the starting methods. I found out how to do that in a tutorial somewhere. If all else fails, try the ubuntu forums.
[04:48] <jjmwood> it used to freeze on vista but i fixed it by putting the power Saver to Max
[04:48] <mitzed> jjmwodd maybe u hve  a damaged disk
[04:48] <spartan7> knoppies, will do. thanks
[04:48] <jjmwood> no the Disk isnt dammaged
[04:48] <majornikku> is there anyone available? i need some help with dmraid
[04:49] <twiztid> sync3times: so what should i do about host unreachable?
[04:50] <glitfchd> can someone help me?
[04:50] <jjmwood> in vista the GPU kept powering down or something and i fixed that but i dont know how to on ubuntu
[04:51] <soreau> ! ask | glitfchd
[04:51] <glitfchd> is there anyways to reinstall a kernel? i removed the wrong one and cant boot my system now..
[04:52] <soreau> glitfchd: If you can chroot into the file system from a live cd, it's possible
[04:52] <glitfchd> soreau can u give me some instructions on how to do so?
[04:52] <soreau> ! chroot | glitfchd
[04:52] <mitzed> jjmwood your freezes are in ubuntu?
[04:53] <Sunsp0t> yo
[04:53] <majornikku> i need to edit partions on a raid (raid 0) in gparted but it only sees the disks, any ideas?
[04:53] <glitfchd> soreau is there any instructions
[04:54] <soreau> glitfchd: Read what ubottu gave you
[04:54] <needlez> glitfchd?? is this glitchd:???
[04:54] <intok> Will Aquaria run on a GMA900? Running it, I get the loading screen, but it crashes out once fully loaded
[04:55] <glitfchd> needlez yes it is me
[04:55] <glitfchd> needlez...lol i accidentially removed my active kernel and now cant boot my system
[04:55] <needlez> ouch
[04:56] <Sunsp0t> Hey all, just installed Ubunty and am LOVING it.
[04:56] <glitfchd> ouch, yes
[04:56] <Sunsp0t> Was an avid user of Sabayon, but I must say the cohesiveness of this distro is fantastic.
[04:56] <glitfchd> needlez any clue how to reinstall a kernel to get a working system again?
[04:56] <TariQMowafy> hello
[04:56] <needlez> glitfchd: yes i have an idea
[04:57] <glitfchd> needlez i really dont want to reinstall the whole system and lose everything that ive done in there already
[04:57] <soreau> glitfchd: I told you. boot a live session and chroot into the file system
[04:57] <sync3times> twiztid,  is your xp firewall on?
[04:57] <needlez> glitfchd: what you need to do is to hold shift when you restart your machine, then if you have any kernels startup in anyone of them and then reload up the kernel that you accidently deleted... then reboot and load into the new kernel
[04:58] <TariQMowafy> i need to format a hard disk running windows using ubuntu usb disk,,,any ideas???
[04:58] <Gnea> TariQMowafy: just do it.
[04:58] <TariQMowafy> how to?
[04:58] <needlez> glitfchd: however if you have no images when you restart and hold shift... im sorry to say it but you'll have to prolly do a fresh install
[04:58] <Gnea> !usb | TariQMowafy
[04:59] <glitfchd> needlez when grub comes up, i have burg ontop of it, i click the kernel thats listed and it does nothing at all
[04:59] <TariQMowafy> i need to format the hard disk it has a windows that wont work
[04:59] <Gnea> glitfchd: even if you have to reinstall, you can use the livecd to back /home up
[04:59] <glitfchd> needlez so essentially i cant boot anything but windoes
[04:59] <TariQMowafy> give me ( no operating system failure
[04:59] <needlez> glitfchd: aww not good
[04:59] <glitfchd> needlez no sir
[04:59] <needlez> glitfchd: let me check a few more things before i tell ya the bad news
[04:59] <isaacx> hello all
[05:00] <twiztid> sync3times: ya but i thought i gave it proper exceptions... guess not lol any way i can leave it on and still access the share?
[05:00] <glitfchd> needlez...lol ok
[05:00] <mutebuntu> anyone know how to install ubuntu from grub
[05:00] <isaacx> is there a way to add shortcuts to URLS onto a plasma desktop with the icon from the website?
[05:00] <Elad> I am trying to install a SSL cert and it is telling me that it is a self signed cert (when it is not) how do I go about troubleshooting where the problem is?
[05:00] <sync3times> twiztid, I would try to get things working with it down, and then bring it back up.   that way you at least know what you are doing is not being affected by the firewall
[05:00] <Gnea> mutebuntu: invalid operation.
[05:00] <glitfchd> mutebuntu, get unetbooting
[05:01] <sync3times> twiztid, its behind the router firewall correct?
[05:01] <Gnea> mutebuntu: grub is a bootloader, not an installer
[05:01] <mutebuntu> unetboot doesnt work for me.
[05:01] <mutebuntu> i install it to a flash drive and it freezes
[05:02] <mutebuntu> during boot
[05:02] <glitfchd> mutebuntu with unetbooting?
[05:02] <Gnea> mutebuntu: can you see at what point it's freezing?
[05:02] <jjmwood> can anyone help me, Ubuntu keeps freezing
[05:02] <mutebuntu> so im trying to install from the original ubuntu install, which sticks at initramfs
[05:02] <Gnea> jjmwood: you'll need to be more specific than just 'keeps freezing'
[05:02] <isaacx> any ideas about the icons? i looked all over google and found nothing
[05:03] <mutebuntu> but i cant seem to do anything in initramfs either...
[05:03] <artgenera> GNea: true
[05:03] <glitfchd> needlez....??
[05:03] <twiztid> sync3times: um i dont believe so... is that enabled by default? i have a windows firewall...
[05:03] <Gnea> mutebuntu: that, also, does not make any sense. initramfs is standard.
[05:03] <jjmwood> the screen goes in a zig zag kinda way and you have to restart it to use it. it happens randomly
[05:03] <needlez> glitfchd: from what i understand since you removed the image you have no way to get to linux or a linux terminal so you'll have to do a fresh install im so sorry man
[05:04] <hblount> hi. what is the string to make time display only hour and minutes? i cant get the seconds to go away
[05:04] <Gnea> jjmwood: what method do you use to restart?
[05:04] <twiztid> sync3times: so i guess, both firewalls?
[05:04] <glitfchd> needlez...wompwompwommmmmp
[05:04] <mutebuntu> Gnea, standard? is there any way to reinstall ubuntu from a console?
[05:04] <sync3times> twiztid, no, not both
[05:04] <jjmwood> i hold the power button untill it turns off
[05:04] <glitfchd> needlez theres no way to install a kernel from the install disc?
[05:05] <Gnea> mutebuntu: you can't reinstall from within itself, if that's what you mean
[05:05] <mutebuntu> it is
[05:05] <sync3times> twiztid,   I was just thinking if you have the router providing firewall on a small network, then you might be able to take down the windows one to get things going.
[05:05] <TariQMowafy> Gnea, do i use gParted?
[05:05] <jkoch> does anyone have a laptop with the intel 82845G intergrated graphics?
[05:05] <Gnea> TariQMowafy: you could
[05:05] <needlez> glitfchd: you could essentially try that, but not sure how that would work, you'd prolly have to boot into livecd and then install the kernel and add it to the grub.conf file
[05:05] <TariQMowafy> Gnea, ok
[05:05] <twiztid> sync3times: ok leave the router firewall alone and turn off windows's? ya ill try that... and report back shortly... thx bro
[05:05] <needlez> glitfchd: not sure how to do that tho
[05:06] <venilsurya> Does anyone here know how to add a page turning transition to an openoffice impress slideshow?
[05:06] <twiztid> sync3times: seems so minor to be able to access a shared network drive... idea: should i map it in windows?
[05:06] <mutebuntu> Gnea,  since i cant seem to get it to boot from unetbooting, i figured id apt-get the install from within one of the consoles, but neither supports that it seems.
[05:06] <Gnea> mutebuntu: I guess it depends on what's broken
[05:06] <glitfchd> needlez....dam i dont want to reinstall..againnnnnn
[05:06] <mutebuntu> Gnea, im making another boot disk for the fifth time :I
[05:07] <hblount> hi. what is the string to make time display only hour and minutes? i cant get the seconds to go away
[05:07] <enplaswan> Not directly ubuntu related, but is there anyway I can replace windows with linux on a tablet pc and have it work?
[05:07] <sync3times> twiztid,  you should share the drive you want to share
[05:07] <needlez> glitfchd: i know what you mean, i may be doin a reinstall myself to possibly fix gnome-power-manager, ..lol don't think itll make difference for me....
[05:07] <Gnea> mutebuntu: well, your vagueness tends to lend credibility to the possibility that you've either done this before with another distribution of linux, or you're just trying to pull at straws
[05:08] <mutebuntu> Gnea, im being vague because i dont know what im looking for
[05:08] <twiztid> ya i have it shared (simple file sharing off) and gave read/write permissions...
[05:08] <jkoch> does anyone have intel intergrated graphics and have problems watching youtube videos in general and have video lag with any sort of normal process?
[05:08] <twiztid> sync3times: ya i have it shared (simple file sharing off) and gave read/write permissions...
[05:08] <Gnea> mutebuntu: okay, that's helpful.  how long have you been using ubuntu?
[05:08] <knoppies> enplaswan, I think so, but dont ask me. I remember seeing that touchscreen mutli touch is now stock with ubuntu. I can't remember where I saw it though.
[05:09] <JoAnneThrax> Hi, everyone...how do I tell ubuntu to use ALSA instead of Pulse Audio?
[05:09] <chris_osx> jkoch: i don't have any problems with that
[05:09] <needlez> mutebuntu: if when your trying to install ubuntu if it hangs at initramfs then there is an issue with either the disk image you have or there is an issue with the image and the system specs you have... for instance my machine would load initramfs and hang there on 10.04 LTS and still does... had to get 10.10
[05:09] <Error404NotFound> how do i completely remove mysql server along with all its conf and data dir and reinstall?
[05:09] <Gnea> !pulseaudio | JoAnneThrax
[05:09] <indrajeet> how to use crackair-ng?
[05:09] <sync3times> twiztid, simple file shareing off....is that right?
[05:09] <jkoch> chris_osx: did you have to do anything when you first installed?
[05:09] <JoAnneThrax> Gnea: Thank you
[05:09] <mutebuntu> Gnea, not long. a month on the desktop and a week on the netbook with problems
[05:09] <Gnea> JoAnneThrax: should be something in /etc/default/pulseaudio
[05:09] <chris_osx> jkoch: no
[05:09] <mutebuntu> needlez, ive tried both
[05:10] <jkoch> chris_osx: laptop or desktop?
[05:10] <twiztid> sync3times: yup yup
[05:10] <Gnea> mutebuntu: I see. on the netbook, are you using standard ubuntu or ubuntu remix?
[05:10] <indrajeet> plz help me how to use crackair-ng
[05:10] <chris_osx> jkoch: eeepc netbook
[05:10] <ooga> Ok, having some dificulties here ... trying to boot kubuntu install and getting "Unable to find a meduum contaning a live file system" ... any help?
[05:10] <enplaswan> indrajeet, well I know there are tablet computers that come with linux already instlled, but I can get my hands on a decent one hardware wise with windows on it, and I don't want the windows part.
[05:10] <jkoch> chris_osx: hmmm, do you think it could be that i have a celeron processor or only 1gb of ram?
[05:10] <mutebuntu> Gnea, i was using standard after switching from remix. it worked for a week.
[05:10] <chris_osx> jkoch: which is a pineview n450 atom
[05:11] <chris_osx> jkoch: no
[05:11] <needlez> mutebuntu: what kind of computer specs and all, maybe something like with mine, acpi had issues and couldnt load up, you might try turning of acpi when loading up the disc or turning of modeset... not too sure
[05:11] <Elad> anyone have any advice on troubleshooting a SSL cert that is saying it is self signed, when I have an intermediate cert from Verisign?
[05:11] <indrajeet> enplaswan:i am not using windows i am ubuntu user
[05:11] <Gnea> mutebuntu: I recommend going back to remix and using 10.04
[05:11] <Gnea> mutebuntu: that's what I use on my eeepc and it's rock solid
[05:11] <jkoch> chris_osx: well if you did have some video lag, what would you try doing to fix it? i tried installing the drivers but they are already installed and i've reinstalled and rebooted 30 times
[05:12] <glitfchd> needlez any clue where i can look for some information on this?
[05:12] <mutebuntu> needlez, theres no option for that in eeepc bios. Gnea, i would if unetboot didnt hang on boot each time.
[05:12] <chris_osx> jkoch: what kind of celeron is that? is it a newer model or very old?
[05:12] <needlez> mutebuntu: its not in the bios
[05:13] <Gnea> mutebuntu: tried usb-creator?
[05:13] <needlez> mutebuntu: its on the disk when you choose to boot from the disk, press F6 i think and it should be in there
[05:13] <avis> comcast and fedora are in bed with each other.  the moment selinux permissions moved to permissive, 4 patched rpms came rushing down my system update.  i'm back for good now after that, with at&t and ubuntu
[05:13] <glitfchd> needlez, screw it, im just gonna wipe it and reinstall
[05:13] <glitfchd> needlez, dammit.
[05:13] <glitfchd> needlez i hate reinstalling
[05:13] <needlez> glitfchd: sorry man
[05:13] <Gnea> mutebuntu: unetbootin can be hokey at times, usb-creator can work in some cases
[05:14] <karma_police> how do i set folder permissions on an external ntfs hdd?
[05:14] <avis> that would not happen under at&t
[05:14] <glitfchd> needlez not your fault but thx
[05:14] <Gnea> glitfchd: do you have a usb pendrive or something?
[05:14] <jkoch> chris_osx: i'm not sure exactly how old it is, but it's one of those silver and blue dell inspiron 1100's. i just got it for $40 from someone of craigslist. the display was great on xp but i need ubuntu :)
[05:14] <glitfchd> Gnea yes i have a 8 gig, y?
[05:14] <mutebuntu> gnea yes :( same result. needlez, i didnt know that, but it says it cant find root during boot and reverts to an initramfs console
[05:14] <Gnea> glitfchd: you ought to be able to back stuff in your /home up on there before reinstalling
[05:14] <chris_osx> jkoch: have you got flash plugin installed?
[05:15] <soreau> glitfchd: Why don't you just chroot into the filesystem?
[05:15] <jkoch> chris_osx:  doesn't it come preinstalled with chrome?
[05:15] <glitfchd> soreau how is that going to allow me to reinstall a kernel?
[05:15] <chris_osx> jkoch: if not, then that flash replacement is probably the problem
[05:15] <Gnea> mutebuntu: who makes your usb stick?
[05:15] <chris_osx> jkoch: no
[05:15] <glitfchd> soreau and i dont know how to use chroot
[05:15] <glitfchd> soreau i dont understand the guide
[05:15] <chris_osx> jkoch: install flash plugin
[05:15] <chris_osx> jkoch: then it should work smoothly
[05:15] <needlez> mutebuntu: that sounds like the image you got is bad, where did you get the image?? is the 32bit or 64 bit and is it orginal or alternative image??
[05:16] <soreau> glitfchd: You will be running the kernel from the live cd and you can chroot into the filesystem on disk to reinstall the kernel
[05:16] <jkoch> chris_osx: but either way, even this irc is laggy and opening up a window. its obvious video lag at all times
[05:16] <intok> Will Aquaria run on a GMA900? Running it, I get the loading screen, but it crashes out once fully loaded
[05:16] <soreau> glitfchd: I will give you a simple example of how to use it
[05:16] <glitfchd> soreau pm me
[05:16] <mutebuntu> Gnea, its a few. the first was a pny, the second a sd card adapter. ive downloaded varying versions today and put them on both to verify it wasnt an image problem.
[05:16] <chris_osx> jkoch: strange
[05:16] <feanor2> is there a keyboard editor for Linux in ubntu?
[05:16] <mutebuntu> needlez, above
[05:17] <Gnea> mutebuntu: ah, pny tends to give me various issues, always had good luck with sandisk
[05:17] <jkoch> chris_osx: yeah :/ my old laptop had no problem with ubuntu
[05:17] <jkoch> chris_osx: "Your Google Chrome browser already includes Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. Google Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available."
[05:17] <mutebuntu> Gnea, indeed, the second is a sandisk
[05:18] <Gnea> mutebuntu: I'd stick with that one then if you can
[05:18] <racines> Anyone know why my Ubuntu installation will not boot? It has been stuck on: "_" and its just blinking
[05:18] <racines> Then after a while the screen will go black
[05:18] <needlez> mutebuntu: is this a netbook or laptop???  cuz what im thinking you should put it to cd and check it ... or go into bios and check the usb default setup... is it on legacy or what??
[05:18] <racines> I just installed it onto a USB, did not use a swap partition though. Not sure why it won't boot
[05:18] <jkoch> racines: check your bios and make sure it has boot from usb as the first option?
[05:19] <racines> Well it listed all of the Linux options
[05:19] <racines> Ubuntu Linux options*
[05:19] <racines> ie: recovery mode and stuff
[05:19] <mutebuntu> needlez, eeepc is a netbook, so no cd drive.  also, f6 at boot puts me back in initramfs console
[05:19] <chris_osx> jkoch: which resolution do you have? 1024*768?
[05:19] <MrGoodkat> i'm on 10.10 and just installed my hp photosmart plus 210b via wifi, i used hplip 3.10.9, scanner works fine and all printer settings are reported correctly, but printing ONE test page prints 4 pages full with garbled numbers
[05:20] <MrGoodkat> the header of the first page says: This file was created by pdftopdf
[05:20] <Gnea> mutebuntu: just an FYI, this is what I use: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820171466&cm_re=sandisk_flash_drive-_-20-171-466-_-Product
[05:20] <racines> It is running the USB because my HDD has Kubuntu
[05:20] <racines> My USB has Ubuntu
[05:20] <jkoch> chris_osx: yes, it won't let me change anything
[05:20] <racines> However when I boot into Ubuntu........the screen just goes black
[05:20] <mitzed> racines this hapened me  i solved it disconecting   my pci devices
[05:20] <racines> how do I do that?
[05:20] <karma_police> i'm trying to share my usb hdd over a windows network.. i am using samba.. windows can see the shares but cannot access them..
[05:21] <racines> is it done through the BIOS?
[05:21] <mitzed> disconnect your pci devices from your case
[05:21] <racines> Uh its a netbook
[05:21] <mitzed> mmm
[05:21] <mitzed> mm
[05:21] <racines> you used a USB installer?
[05:21] <mitzed> -
[05:21] <racines> I mean
[05:21] <mitzed> -
[05:21] <Gnea> karma_police: then you need to tell samba to allow it to be accessed
[05:21] <racines> you installed Ubuntu onto your USB? full install?
[05:22] <mitzed> i use a full installation of ubuntu 10.10
[05:22] <karma_police> what command does that? i tried to change folder access permissions and it won't let me
[05:22] <Gnea> karma_police: what did you use to try to change folder access?
[05:23] <hdon> hi all :) what's a good way to rotate/flip a PDF?
[05:23] <hdon> (or perhaps rotate/flip a window?!)
[05:23] <karma_police> right clicked.. properties.. permissions.. folder access
[05:24] <Gnea> karma_police: in windows or ubuntu?
[05:24] <karma_police> would this line work? sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o remount,uid=$UID /media/Guts1.5
[05:24] <karma_police> ubuntu
[05:24] <karma_police> i am trying to share across network to windows clients
[05:24] <Gnea> karma_police: that should work as long as $UID is set correctly
[05:24] <Gnea> karma_police: well, you need to configure samba, that can be done by using swat
[05:24] <Gnea> !swat
[05:25] <Gnea> karma_police: simply right-clicking on a folder in ubuntu doesn't afford the same level of ease that doing so in windows does
[05:26] <karma_police> i see that.. i'm a noob still.. loving linux tho
[05:26] <Error404NotFound> any ideas on whats going wrong here: http://pastebin.com/DmsMrwFQ
[05:26] <Gnea> karma_police: awesome, everyone's a noob at some point
[05:29] <francisco> some software to reppair dead pixels????
[05:29] <mitzed> anyone could run  cs on ubuntu
[05:29] <smw> mitzed, what is cs?
[05:29] <icarus-c> francisco, dead pixel as in monitor?
[05:29] <francisco> mitzed use wine
[05:30] <francisco> yes
[05:30] <JoAnneThrax> Gnea: I removed pulse audio, but none of my sound is working.  Do you know what file I need to edit to get ALSA running as the default again?
[05:30] <francisco> dead pixel in monitor
[05:30] <icarus-c> francisco, isn't dead pixel are damaged hardware
[05:30] <racines> Anyone know why my Ubuntu full install on my USB fails to load?
[05:30] <architech_> So I'm dual booting with Windows 7 and Ubuntu and decided I wanted to remove the Ubuntu partition so I booted up in Windows and then used the partition tool to delete ubuntu's partition, and so on and so forth. now when I boot up it loads into grub rescue mode.. saying it cannot find the partition, how do I fix this?
[05:30] <racines> It gives me a list of methods for load ubuntu ie: normal, recovery, how ever when I load it the screen just goes black
[05:30] <francisco> but i read that software must help
[05:30] <racines> gives me a blinking "_" for a minute or so and then it goes blank
[05:30] <racines> nothing happens after that
[05:31] <mitzed> with  wine  runs too slow
[05:31] <icarus-c> architech_, use your Windows rescue disk and fixboot or whatever. that's windows matter
[05:31] <Gnea> JoAnneThrax: you should be able to access the sound settings from the system menu
[05:31] <architech_> Any other ways.. I kinda don't have the DVD.
[05:31] <karma_police> i'm lost.. i'm trying to change folder permissions on a usb hdd with ntfs in order to share with windows clients over network.. i can see the shares on the windows computers however cannot access them...
[05:32] <icarus-c> architech_, the reason for this is simple. your computer has been using Ubuntu Linux's boot loader called grub. and grub needs files that are stored on Ubuntu's partition to work, and you have deleted them
[05:32] <JoAnneThrax> Gnea: I don't have a system menu; I'm using WIndowMaker as my window manager.
[05:32] <racines> anyone?
[05:32] <architech_> icarus-c: yeah I understand that, but even when I try and reinstall ubuntu it says BOOTMGR missing..
[05:32] <JoAnneThrax> Gnea: It was booting into the Gnome version that, apparently, put pulse-audio in charge...
[05:32] <icarus-c> architech_, i'm afraid you have to consult Windows users in order to recover WIndows boot loader
[05:33] <icarus-c> architech_, alternatively you could make a partition for grub and make grub work again. your choice
[05:33] <architech_> I will go for that option, how to do that?
[05:33] <feanor2> is there a keyboard editor for Linux?
[05:33] <francisco> architect save ur data in a external hd
[05:33] <francisco> and format
[05:33] <francisco> it's easier
[05:34] <architech_> francisco: i cba taking the drive out and plugging it into another computer =x
[05:34] <steiner> how do i get 3d acceleration?
[05:34] <archi> hii...everybuddy
[05:34] <architech_> steiner: by installing your graphic drivers.
[05:34] <francisco> steiner u must install restricetd drivers
[05:34] <icarus-c> architech_, that won't be easy but.
[05:34] <francisco> nvidia or whatever
[05:34] <racines> why does my ubuntu isntallation fail to load? I installed it onto a USB full install. gives me the boot options ie: normal, recovery but after I boot normally it gives me a blinking "_" for a minute or so and then the screen just goes black and nothing happens.
[05:35] <steiner> architech_i cant their legacy and not supported
[05:35] <francisco> steiner click on apps>system
[05:35] <francisco> racines usbs aren't for install os
[05:35] <francisco> it may broken
[05:35] <steiner> its a radeo x1300 if that helps
[05:35] <icarus-c> steiner, what hardware you got.  often the more legacy the hardware, the more it is supported on linux
[05:36] <glassresistor> anyone know how to upgrade an ipod touches firmware from 10.10?
[05:36] <nit-wit> architech_, would you like a recovery cd link and the command to reinstall the windows bootloader, Vista or W7
[05:36] <icarus-c> steiner, do you have ubuntu installed already?
[05:36] <steiner> radeon x1300*
[05:36] <icarus-c> steiner, and running?
[05:36] <steiner> yes

[05:40] <glassresistor> mitzed: the firmware virsion that came with it is 3.1.3
[05:40] <shawn146> how do i kill it in ubuntu
[05:40] <mitzed> glasoglassressitor   you need do it in windows
[05:41] <feanor2> knoppies_, xmodmap is too primitive
[05:41] <Jordan_U> architech_: If you're getting BOOTMGR errors then your BIOS is *not* booting from the USB unetbootin installed to.
[05:41] <shawn146> ?
[05:41] <francisco> shawn146
[05:41] <glassresistor> mitzed: model mc008ll
[05:41] <shawn146> hmm?
[05:41] <racines> well it finally loaded on my USB full install of ubuntu
[05:41] <racines> how ever it took a LONG time to load.
[05:41] <francisco> click on apps>system>sysmonitor

[05:41] <lpuljic> anyone
[05:41] <steiner2> icarus-c: i got kicked off for pasting that
[05:42] <knoppies_> feanor2, system->preferences->keyboard not what you are looking for? what do you mean by keyboard editor?

[05:42] <lpuljic> guys does anyone know here how toinstall ubuntu under a LVM ie all pratitions in one volume group
[05:42] <feanor2> knoppies_, tool for creating or modifying keyboard layouts
[05:42] <nit-wit> architech_, you need the per session boot to boot the thumb maybe, mne is f12 yours could be any f key or esc
[05:42] <glassresistor> i also want to control the version of the update so that i can jailbreak it again
[05:43] <Jordan_U> lpuljic: You would need to use the alternate install CD to accomplish that.
[05:43] <glassresistor> ill try itunes in wine
[05:43] <knoppies_> feanor2, I know you can change them using the default preferences->keyboard. Creating them i think you might need to edit a few files yourself (or find a program)
[05:43] <Jordan_U> !alternate | lpuljic

[05:54] <treyk41> I need to use my CD drive with WINE. To do this I have to specify the mount point of CD's
[05:55] <steiner2> soreau: it says Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
[05:55] <treyk41> however ubuntu doesn't have a standard mount point
[05:55] <steiner2> and also Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
[05:55] <treyk41> is there any way that I could set up a single mount point?
[05:55] <soreau> steiner2: Can you pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to ubuntu.pastebin.com?
[05:56] <krannx2> on ubuntu 10.10 if you try to downgrade to gdm2.20 how do you prevent 2 gdms from opening on reboot?
[05:56] <lpuljic> Jordan_U: is there a guid on how to set it up unver volume group i am googling but cant seem to find much
[05:56] <Gnea> krannx2: there should only be one
[05:56] <francisco> thats why i preffer to wait till 10.10 becomes lts
[05:57] <francisco> 10.04 works prety fine
[05:57] <Gnea> francisco: it never will, 10.04 is LTS for the next few years
[05:57] <steiner2> soreau: i think i did what you asked...
[05:57] <soreau> steiner2: Post the link it gives you back here
[05:58] <francisco> well
[05:58] <lpuljic> Jordan_U: is there a guid on how to set it up unver volume group i am googling but cant seem to find much
[05:58] <steiner2> soreau: this? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/vi2mHbvi
[05:59] <Jordan_U> lpuljic: I saw your question the first time, no need to repeat.
[05:59] <francisco> wich distro is the optimal for this laptop? amd semprom 3600* 1 gb ram?
[05:59] <krannx2> Gnea: the how to guides i found seem to suggest two would open up, if they do would my computer just freak out? be in commandline only? how doomed would i be?
[05:59] <jenna> hey guys, im havng some trouble downloading and burnng the ubuntu iso.  i download it and the iso i get is only 24MB and the md5 doesnt match
[05:59] <lpuljic> sorry Jordan_U i just saw so much stuff go pass
[05:59] <soreau> steiner2: Looks like you have installed the proprietary nvidia glx module.
[05:59] <lpuljic> so i though u might of not seen it
[05:59] <jenna> when i burn it, the resulting dics doesnt boot
[05:59] <soreau> steiner2: Get rid of any nvidia or flgrx packages, remove xorg.conf and reboot
[06:00] <Jordan_U> lpuljic: I don't know of one. Last time I tried I didn't have too much difficulty though. Will you be able to be on IRC while you're installing?
[06:00] <steiner2> soreau: yea i upgraded from a nvidia card to a better ati card
[06:00] <steiner2> i thought i removed everything
[06:00] <mitzed> jenna use  a download manager
[06:00] <Gnea> krannx2: if two open up, it won't be the end of the world - one will likely sit on tty7 while the other on tty8. From there, it's simply a matter of disabling the service that you don't want running permanently
[06:00] <jkoch> how do i change to the vesa video driver?
[06:00] <lpuljic> yeah i think i can use my laptop while i do that, do u mind if i pm u when i am ready to install it
[06:00] <soreau> steiner2: Well you still have the nvidia glx module installed. Double check and reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx if necessary
[06:01] <steiner2> soreau: whats the best way to remove those packages?
[06:01] <Gnea> jenna: it should be much larger than 24MB. what url did you download from?
[06:01] <soreau> steiner2: Check the output of 'dpkg -l|egrep "nvidia|fglrx"'
[06:01] <jenna> the big orange donwload button on the ubuntu homepage is where i got it from
[06:02] <jenna> ive tried Dlng it 2 times and get the same file both times
[06:02] <jenna> im trying the torrent now
[06:02] <glitchd> soreau, hey im on the live cd now
[06:02] <jkoch> how do i switch to the vesa driver for video?
[06:02] <soreau> glitchd: Cool
[06:02] <krannx2> Gnea: thank you so much! With that vote of confidence I'm off to try it!
[06:02] <Gnea> jenna: okay, the torrents usually download faster so you should have better luck with it
[06:02] <mitzed> jenna  use a download manager like internet download manager
[06:02] <Gnea> krannx2: good luck
[06:02] <steiner2> soreau: what am i looking for? last time i psated something i got kicked off
[06:03] <jessica_> Hey all, I am having an issue. Ubuntu 10.10 thinks that my trackpad is a mouse... which would not be so bad, but it interprets any slight touch of the trackpad as a click. This is unbearable when trying to type. Any suggestions?
[06:03] <soreau> steiner2: Don't post here, that's what ubuntu.pastebin.com is for
[06:03] <jkoch> how do i switch to the vesa driver for video?
[06:03] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | steiner2
[06:03] <steiner2> thanks
[06:03] <soreau> steiner2: Just try removing any installed packages and reinstalling libgl1-mesa-glx and -dri
[06:04] <Gnea> jessica_: well, the trackpad *is* a mouse, and it's possible that the synaptics driver isn't configured properly
[06:04] <nit-wit> jessica_, mne gets turned on and off with fn+f7
[06:04] <nit-wit> *mine
[06:04] <Elad> I made some headway on the SSL issue but now I am stuck on another part - if I have 2 intermediate certs, how do I setup the apache config for that? I am only use to having one
[06:04] <Gnea> !synaptics | jessica_
[06:04] <jessica_> Right, I know that the drivers are not working... and I can't seem to get them working.
[06:05] <Gnea> jessica_: check that guide out
[06:05] <steiner2> soreau: should i remove them with the software center or something else?
[06:05] <soreau> steiner2: If any proprietary driver is installed, remove it
[06:06] <steiner2> soreau: hardware drivers says that none are in use on this system
[06:06] <soreau> steiner2: That doesn't mean anything
[06:06] <soreau> steiner2: They can be installed and not in use
[06:07] <Benwacki> Trying to boot a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 off the second partition of an external hard drive. When I load the device it says "error: unknown filesystem." the puts me at grub rescue> Is there a way I can tell it to boot to that partition from this menu?
[06:07] <jessica_> So, I am getting my trackpad as PS/2 Generic Mouse
[06:07] <brett__> Its a synaptics touchpad for sure?
[06:07] <steiner2> soreau: so what the best way to get rid of it?
[06:07] <jessica_> No, I am not sure that it is a synaptics touch pad.
[06:08] <brett__> I have a sentelic pad, why i asked, synaptics drivers don't work.
[06:08] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: Likely yes, but it depends on why you recieved that error.
[06:08] <Benwacki> I know the error is because the first partition is in WBFS, I have it that way to play backed up wii games.
[06:08] <jessica_> Right, well, I am running an acer MS2298
[06:08] <Gnea> jessica_: did you try following the mouse settings to disable mouse clicks on that page?
[06:08] <brett__> Have you looked in your /var/log/dmesg to find out what its detecting as?
[06:09] <brett__> in terminal you might try cat var/log/dmesg | grep input
[06:09] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: Did you try to install grub's boot sector to the partition rather than the mbr?
[06:09] <Benwacki> Ugh...I think I did.
[06:10] <jessica_> Yeah... I've got no dmesg file
[06:10] <jef91> My hard drive space on my root+home partition suddenly went from 10gb free to full without installing anything. Any idea how I can track down what caused my space to all vanish?
[06:10] <brett__> I meant "/var/log/dmesg" not "var/log/dmesg"
[06:10]  * Gnea throws his hands up into the air
[06:10] <brett__> My mistake :)
[06:10] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: You should always install grub to the mbr.
[06:10] <brett__> Var from root dir, not from home dri.
[06:10] <jessica_> oh... duh... no.. I should know better...
[06:10] <brett__> dir
[06:10] <francisco> jenna it must be ur conecction
[06:11] <secretary_linux> jef91: you can narrow it down with du -sh /path
[06:11] <Benwacki> I didnt see any options for installing grub during the install of it
[06:11] <Benwacki> It wouldve happened while choosing where it installed to, eh?
[06:11] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: The shell you're getting is from a previous grub install which is still in the mbr (and embedded area) since it wasn't replaced by the newer grub install.
[06:11] <steiner2> soreau: i think i found how to in synaptic
[06:11] <Gnea> brett__: the url I provided details a very simple method to fix the problem that she's having
[06:11] <brett__> Great.  I hope it works.
[06:11] <jessica_> Yeah... I get PS/2 Generic mouse as /devices/platform/i8042 etc...
[06:12] <soreau> steiner2: After you fix it, you can install mesa experimental and xorg-edgers to get the latest open drivers with better 3D support with gallium
[06:12] <Gnea> jessica_: I'll just say it once, since you obviously didn't even bother reading it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Disabling Touchpad while Typing
[06:12] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: If you didn't change any options related to grub then Ubuntu's installer would have installed to the mbr, so that's probably not the problem you're having.
[06:12] <brett__> My sentelic touchpad has flags in /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/flags
[06:12] <brett__> That can be used to alter its behavior.
[06:13] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: Can you boot from a LiveCD?
[06:13] <jessica_> Gnea... you are not listening... that is not the problem... I can disable the trackpad while typing all I want, but that is not going to fix the driver issue.
[06:13] <brett__> I'm guessing that since it sregistering for you as an i8042 device that it might be a sentelic touchpad too.
[06:13] <Benwacki> Jordan_U: Yes
[06:13] <jessica_> Thanks, brett.
[06:14] <brett__> Well, don't thank me.  That's not good news!  :)
[06:14] <brett__> your welcome though.
[06:14] <brett__> It's alright to thank me anyway.
[06:14] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: Please do, then run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt.
[06:14] <jessica_> Yeah... no drivers available for ubuntu?
[06:14] <brett__> Uhh, here's a bug report URL about sentelic touchpad specifically:
[06:14] <Gnea> jessica_: I'm not? Funny, you mentioned that it's annoying that when you tap the touchpad, it acts like a mouse click.
[06:14] <brett__> Well, drivers available.
[06:14] <brett__> actaully drivers available in the kernel.
[06:14] <brett__> Here's the URL:
[06:14] <brett__> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/311869
[06:15] <brett__> there's a lot of stuff in that one, and it's messy!
[06:15] <Gnea> jessica_: and if you did try setting that and nothing happened, you didn't mention it.
[06:15] <Flavius_Julius_J> My touch pad is like that in compaq presario 2100 I just avoid tapping or bumping it I maintain contact until its time to not make contact.
[06:16] <brett__> I turn mine off and use a mouse.
[06:16] <brett__> That's my solution Jessica_  -- But that bug report might help you find another one for you.
[06:16] <Flavius_Julius_J> was like that under debian etch and ubuntu lucid.
[06:17] <jessica_> Okay, brett, I am installing the package as we speak.
[06:17] <brett__> Well I dunno about that -- You might try this in your terminal without a package.
[06:17] <brett__> Because I never quite got the FSPC thing working right.
[06:17] <brett__> I just added echo -n kbxyac > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/flags
[06:18] <brett__> That turns it off.
[06:18] <brett__> I just added echo -n kbxyaC > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/flags
[06:18] <brett__> turns it on.
[06:18] <francisco> he guys, in ur opinion what is the best extension to package data?
[06:18] <francisco> rara, .tar.bz2; .tar.gz?
[06:19] <brett__> you can probably get by easier with a script set to a hot-key that uses those flags rather than the FSPC
[06:19] <brett__> package
[06:19] <brett__> when i tried working the FSPC package I was on 9.10 which was . . karmic koala I think?  Didn't have kernel drivers then.
[06:19] <jessica_> Okay... well, I will reboot and see what we've got.
[06:19] <jessica_> Thanks.
[06:19] <brett__> Either way, check the entire bug out for all the info.
[06:19] <brett__> Hah
[06:20] <Flavius_Julius_J> you get the best compression with tar.7z or tar. lzma
 better than rar?
[06:22] <francisco> i will try it
[06:22] <Flavius_Julius_J> not sure about rar compression although it will let you break up files.
[06:23] <Benwacki> Jordan_U: It's saying No such file or directory when I type  bash ~/Downloads/boot_info_script*.sh
[06:23] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: If it's an old Ubuntu CD it may be ~/Desktop/boot_info_script*.sh.
[06:23] <Billgates425> i also cant unrar files  with .part1, ... extension
[06:24] <Benwacki> Nah, its 10.10
[06:24] <Benwacki> I tried it anyway, same thing
[06:25] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: Can you check where the file downloaded to?
 u need a package
[06:25] <Benwacki> Oh, whoops haha. Didnt see that I had to download it :/
[06:25] <steiner> soreau: its still not working right
[06:25] <Flavius_Julius_J> time to get some updates. It sux to be on dialup.
[06:25] <soreau> steiner: Pastebin your current X log
[06:25] <Billgates425> what i need to do
[06:26] <Billgates425> ?
[06:26] <Benwacki> It doesnt have internet connection right now though.
[06:27] <Benwacki> Seeing as how I now have access to that partition though, can I just change something to make it boot from that install?
[06:27] <steiner> soreau: where do i find that?
[06:27] <daxt> anybody who works for Canonical here ?
[06:27] <steiner> is it in x11?
[06:27] <francisco> sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[06:27] <francisco> that should work
[06:28] <francisco> Billgates425 sudo apt-get install rar unrar
[06:28] <francisco> open terminal and paste it
[06:28] <daxt> Billgates425 that is not a nice nick if u r into free software
[06:28] <MrGoodkat> i'm on 10.10 and just installed my hp photosmart plus 210b via wifi, i used hplip 3.10.9, scanner works fine and all printer settings are reported correctly, but printing ONE test page prints 4 pages full with garbled numbers
[06:28] <MrGoodkat> the header of the first page says: This file was created by pdftopdf
[06:28] <jkoch> how can i fix a lag on streaming flash videos?
[06:29] <brett__> Well, gneas, if she has a sentelic touchpad, then doing a "echo -n c > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio{0,1}/flags"  would work to turn off the touch-to-click on a sentelic touchpad.
[06:29] <MrGoodkat> how can i get the printer to print correctly?
[06:29] <brett__> as root.
[06:29] <Billgates425> francisco   thanks

[06:35] <hilux> anyone have experience with realtek rtl8187l wireless nic ? the nic can see networks and can connect and transmit data, but only breifly/sporadically, while also at the same time being able to reach 90 KBps for 30 to 60 second burts , heh
[06:37] <hilux> from what I have been able to find this chipset has been known at least in the past to have flaky drivers, I have already obtained the latest driver from realtek
[06:37] <Benwacki> Ive got /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2 currently on the hard drive Im working with. My sdb1 install is in WBFS, so ubuntu isnt recognizing it. I need to find a way to either change sdb1 to sdb2 and sdb2 to sdb1 or change something to make it automatically load to sdb2 and forget sdb1 exists.
[06:38] <Benwacki> (sdb2 is my ubuntu install)

[06:40] <knoppies_> Benwacki, something in the GRUB menu?
[06:40] <knoppies_> nirazio, GPG normally has to do something about keys and making sure the file is not tampered with (from what I understand).
[06:41] <Benwacki> knoppies_: How would I get to the GRUB menu?
[06:41] <nirazio> knoppies_: What should i do now?
[06:41] <hilux> oi, got dc , any bites on realtek 8187 ?

[06:44] <MrGoodkat> how come my xsane resolution is so low?
[06:44] <MrGoodkat> i can scan the page but it's hardly readable
[06:45] <MrGoodkat> especially around the text/letters is the resolution very low
[06:45] <feanor2> is there a keyboard layout editor utility for Linux?
[06:45] <coz_> MrGoodkat,  you should be able to set the resolution in the gui
[06:46] <coz_> MrGoodkat,   set it to 300dpi  which is about all the eye can make out
[06:46] <MrGoodkat> that just made xsane crash
[06:47] <nirazio> How do I count the clicks of the mouse buttons since the start of Ubuntu?  I would like to do mouse button clicks stats so I need it...

[06:58] <steiner> soreau: whats the best way to do that?
[06:58] <soreau> steiner: To get the latest and greatest performance, install xorg-edgers and mesa experimental packages: sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:58] <cipher> who do i run a command in the background so i can pick it back up later?
[06:58] <Jordan_U> Lano: Now that you've created a volume group there should be an option for specifying how it should be used (as the root filesystem).
[06:59] <knoppies_> nigh92, I suppose it will be a home version? so it wont have remote desktop?
[06:59] <nigh92> yeah you rite

[07:03] <steiner> soreau: it said package wasnt found for the first one
[07:03] <cipher> no...
[07:03] <Jordan_U> jenna: After getting the error, are you brought to a prompt?  It finds the download and even asks me [y or n] but then it gives me the error....I have tried 3 different mirrors for the karmic repositories....what am I doing wrong?

[07:05] <cipher> i know someone here has to know..
[07:05] <texas319> turneralex: thanks
[07:05] <cipher> it's a crazy simple command
[07:05] <steiner> soreau: still didnt work
[07:05] <turneralex> royale1223_: Try update all your repositories by "apt-get update" then try that command again
[07:05] <Syria> turneralex: E: Invalid operation pdfcreator, I got ths message.
[07:05] <jenna2> Jordan_U, it says error: device not found < then some UUID looking thing>  then the next line is grub>

[07:06] <cipher> thats it!
[07:06] <cipher> thanks
[07:06] <turneralex> "apt-get install pdfcreator" you must of typed "apt-get pdfcreator"
[07:06] <royale1223_> turneralex, updating
[07:06] <cipher> couldn't remember the screen command
[07:06] <Billgates425> syria you can create  a pdf with open office
[07:06] <knoppies_> nigh92, Im not sure what you could do without actually touching the PC.
[07:06] <turneralex> cipher: Screen is awesoem!
[07:06] <Ashu> Dude anyone tell me the command for installing Mono Develop 2.4.1
[07:06] <rigved> cipher: you are welcome
[07:06] <Syria> Billgates425 I know but this one will create pdf files from any window.
[07:07] <royale1223_> turneralex, still getting the same error
[07:07] <cipher> yea screen rox
[07:07] <turneralex> royale1223_: That's weird
[07:07] <steiner> soreau: sorry, it said package wasnt found again
[07:07] <Ashu> Dude anyone tell me the command for installing Mono Develop 2.4.1
[07:07] <royale1223_> turneralex, :(
[07:08] <Syria> Billgates425 Also I want to learn how to install that programs available in sourceforge.
[07:08] <turneralex> royale1223_: Hmm, now try "apt-get upgrade" that will upgrade all the software on your system
[07:08] <Ashu> Dude anyone tell me the command for installing Mono Develop 2.4.1
[07:08] <turneralex> royale1223_: Then try "apt-get -f install python-qt4"
[07:08] <cowslammer> anyone recommend an ubuntu book for experienced users who want to learn more?
[07:08] <soreau> steiner: You are on 10.10 Maverick, right? Try it this way: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:08] <Ashu> Dude anyone tell me the command for installing Mono Develop 2.4.1
[07:08] <royale1223_> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[07:09] <royale1223_> :-$
[07:09] <steiner> soreau: i guess i never said, im on 10.04
[07:09] <Jordan_U> jenna2: If it's not too difficult could you try to get the first 3 characters of the UUID in the error?
[07:09] <Billgates425> syria  i think pdf creator is only for windows
[07:09] <cipher> with screen i can disconnect via ssh correct?
[07:09] <Ashu> Anyone tell me the command for installing Mono Develop 2.4.1?
[07:09] <rigved> cipher: http://ubuntugenius.wordpress.com/2010/10/23/job-control-in-ubuntu-how-to-run-multiple-commands-simultaneously-in-a-single-terminal-window/ <------- this might also help with the & command
[07:09] <Syria> Billgates425 Aha!
[07:09] <Syria> Billgates425 thnx for telling me this.
[07:09] <soreau> steiner: Ah, well in that case try: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:09] <neiz> Ashu: synaptic it
[07:09] <jenna2_> Jordan_U,  is there anything else i should do from this livecd first before i restart to get that uuid?
[07:10] <Ashu> HOw neiz?
[07:10] <Ashu> Neiz:HOw?
[07:10] <Jordan_U> jenna2_: Not that I can think of.
[07:10] <neiz> Ashu: system->administration->synaptic package manager
[07:10] <Billgates425> syria why dont you try with wine
[07:10] <turneralex> royale1223_: did you try "apt-get -f install python-qt4" ?
[07:10] <soreau> steiner: But you will want the latest version of ubuntu you can get for the best drivers for your card (newer kernels = newer radeon driver code)
[07:10] <turneralex> Syria: "apt-get install wine"
[07:10] <royale1223_> turneralex, same error
[07:11] <Syria> turneralex i have wine installed.
[07:11] <Ashu> neiz:after that?
[07:11] <royale1223_> broken packages
[07:11] <Syria> turneralex But still don't understand what to do with all of this files!
[07:11] <jenna_> Jordan_U, it starts with adc38fe-
[07:11] <cody_> okay, so i've been trying to install IE7 to get Mabinogi to run as per http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=21006 but upon opening the installer, it crashes, both with a manual download and through  Winetricks, is there something I'm missing or doing wrong?
[07:11] <neiz> Ashu: put 'Mono Dev' in the search box and get the one you need
[07:12] <steiner> soreau: yea, i undersatnd that
[07:12] <Jordan_U> jenna_: That doesn't match any of your filesystems according to the boot info script output, so that must be an old grub install for a filesystem that no longer exists.
[07:12] <PleXuS> anyone in here into multiroom audio system on linux?
[07:13] <cody_> i'm trying the install again, I can past it into pastebin if it would help.
[07:13] <steiner> soreau: does apt-get upgrade chnage me to 10.10?
[07:13] <alif> All, how to speed internet connection in ubuntu??
[07:13] <soreau> steiner: no
[07:13] <jenna_> Jordan_U, cool, so how do i get rid of it?
[07:14] <krannx> downgrading gdm to 2.20...and I continuously get a "repository is unresolved" type error when I try to install it. It finds the download and even asks me [y or n] but then it gives me the error....I have tried 3 different mirrors for the karmic repositories...all with the same results...anyone here have any luck downgrading gdm?
[07:14] <cody_> would pastebin help when IE7 Installer crashes right after extracting?
[07:14] <soreau> steiner: With the repo, you're actually installing latest code compatible with the latest components of 10.04 (which could mean missing and/or broken functionality)
[07:14] <royale1223_> Ashu, in termenal : git clone git@github.com:mono/monodevelop.git
[07:14] <cody_> i'm installing it as per instruction for getting Mabinogi to work on Winedb
[07:15] <nit-wit> Benwacki, so whats the symptoms of your boot problem, I missed the actual description, i have looked at the script.
[07:15] <steiner> soreau: ok
[07:15] <cody_> says it's required.
[07:15] <steiner> soreau: and thanks a ton for all your help
[07:15] <tuxhack> hi all.. I am getting the jitters.. on one of my servers, mails fired by a web application gets routed back to our multidrop mailbox...
[07:15] <jenna_> and how do i make this grub thing use dvorak keyset?  its reallt slow typing inot it when i have to try to find each key by trial and error
[07:15] <soreau> steiner: Is the repo installing now?
[07:15] <tuxhack> I have identified those mails are that which dont have an mx record or even a valid authoritative ns
[07:16] <Jordan_U> jenna_: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[07:16] <Jordan_U> jenna_: It's likely that one of your two drives actually does have a working grub installation, so you could try just changing the boot order. Either way, following this guide and installing grub to both /dev/sda and /dev/sdb should get you booting again: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[07:16] <Benwacki> nit-wit:When I load the device it says "error: unknown filesystem." the puts me at grub rescue>
[07:16] <DarkAngel123> wich  ones , tuxhack?
[07:16] <tuxhack> ie if a mail is going for<EMAIL_ADDRESS>.. this gets internally rewritten to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:17] <steiner> soreau: yea, reboot afterward?
[07:17] <cody_> did anyone see my problem? (not to sound pushy or anything, I know you're volunteers and community members)
[07:17] <DarkAngel123> umm interesting
[07:17] <soreau> steiner: If it installs a kernel, yes. Otherwise, restarting X might be enough
[07:18] <tuxhack> @DarkAngel123, would this be the setting that all unqualified address to be attached with domain
[07:18] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: Is it the wubi install or the normal install that's failing?
[07:18] <nit-wit> Benwacki, you have the sdb first to read in the bios correct?
[07:18] <Benwacki> Normal install thats failing
[07:19] <royale1223_> turneralex, are you there?
[07:19] <cody_> I'm using Wine 1.2.2
[07:20] <Benwacki> nit-wit: I cant seem to get the right setting for USB in the bios, however I've just been going to boot options and choosing it each time
[07:21] <nit-wit> Benwacki, what is the dell utility in sdb1
[07:21] <Jordan_U> Benwacki: Do you see any other error messages, like "out of disk"?
[07:21] <Syria> Can I create a virtual cd rom from an iso file? what program should I install please?
[07:22] <Jordan_U> !iso | Syria
[07:22] <Benwacki> nit-wit: To be honest I have no idea, I assume a second recovery partition.
[07:22] <Benwacki> Jordan_U: No, just the one
[07:22] <Syria> Jordan_U thnx.
[07:22] <Jordan_U> Syria: You're welcome.
[07:22] <nit-wit> Benwacki, Dell has a dell data safe program that messes with the mbr does this sound familiar
[07:23] <tuxhack> @DarkAngel123 dump at setting up the sendmail.. I am gonna remove that and try exim4
[07:23] <Benwacki> nit-wit: Nah, i've never heard of it.
[07:23] <Billgates425> hey jordan how you can do it
[07:24] <nit-wit> Benwacki, can you boot sda and get to W7 or the wubi,
[07:24] <Benwacki> nit-with: Yeah, everything else works fine
[07:25] <nit-wit> Benwacki, did the external ever boot correctly with this install
[07:25] <Benwacki> nit-wit: Nope, its been doing that since the install a few hours ago
[07:26] <Syria> Jordan_U what is the mount point?
[07:26] <carson> does anyone know of a good channel to ask help about partitioning and deleting partitions in windows 7?
[07:27] <Syria> Jordan_U sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>
[07:27] <Kunalagon>  is there any Microsoft Exchange client for Linux ?
[07:27] <Benwacki> carson: win7 has a nice partition tool built in
[07:27] <nit-wit> Benwacki, boot into windows admin and go to the control panel add-remove and look for dell data safe. It is strange that a external HD would have a fat 16 dell utility partion=sdb1
[07:27] <Billgates425> carson google can help you
[07:28] <Jordan_U> Syria: A mount point is a directory through which you can access what you have mounted. For instance if you run "sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /mnt/" then the contents of the iso will be available through the /mnt/ directory.
[07:28] <message144> Hi, I am using Ubuntu Desktop 10.04LTS 64 bit and I cannot see this package in apt: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mit-scheme . I have universe repo enabled. Any ideas?
[07:28] <carson> yes i know but when i deleted linux on my family computer using that tool, it deleted grub along with it and i just rebooted 7 on it because everything went wrong and now i have 2 windows 7's on it, and i need to delete new one, except im afraid if i delete it like google told me to with the linux partition, it will delete grub once again
[07:29] <carson> *reinstalled, no rebooted
[07:30] <treyk4> How can I specify, from the command line, what desktop an application should open on?
[07:30] <cousin_mario> hello
[07:30] <cousin_mario> tell me, if I uninstall grub2 will the original MBR be restored?
[07:30] <nit-wit> Benwacki, I miss read the script the dell utility is sda1. I think that having Ubuntu half way onto a teraabyte usb drive is probably not fgong to work
[07:30] <nit-wit> *going
[07:31] <mgolisch> cousin_mario: no
[07:31] <Billgates425> carson but   if youfix  the mrb of win ¡¡¡
[07:32] <nit-wit> Benwacki, you could move the wubi to a partion on the sda if you wanted and dual boot easily.
[07:32] <cousin_mario> mgolisch: uh oh
[07:32] <tuxhack> @DarkAngel123 three cheers for FOSS.. just got it right with the exim4
[07:32] <jenna_> Jordan_U, no luck.  i did every step exactly like it said, and got no errors.  but i still cant start up
[07:32] <cody_> hey, i'm trying to install IE7 on Wine 1.2.2 through Winetricks, and right after the extraction finishes (just as the installer actually starts) I get a "The program has encountered a serious error" message, I have a pastebin with the contents of Terminal at the time of the error, i've been trying this for a couple hours now.
[07:33] <tuxhack> bye guyz.. will drop in later
[07:33] <mgolisch> cody_: did you have a look at the appdb entry for that ie version? it might have some tips
[07:33] <cipher> does rsync take up more than one ps?
[07:33] <gobbe> cody_: should IE7 work with wine?
[07:33] <Billgates425> cody yre crazy ie on  wine  gime one reason
[07:33] <Jordan_U> jenna_: Did you run both "grub-install /dev/sda" and "grub-install /dev/sdb"?
[07:33] <Benwacki> nit-wit: I'm not looking to dual boot. The wubi install is seeming kind of buggy anyway. Instead I'll just brute force change the partitions around I guess.
[07:33] <jenna_> yes
[07:33] <cody_> yeah, nothing about this problem.
[07:34] <mgolisch> cody_: why do you want that anyways?
[07:34] <Billgates425> hes crazy
[07:34] <mgolisch> that must be it
[07:34] <cody_> it's required for another windows game to work
[07:34] <carson> Billgates425 i didnt know how to fix the mrb, the advice i could find off google was get a xp install disk/floppy and boot using it, then use the command fixmrb, so i got my xp disk and it wouldnt let me, the disk would say 'this is not an asus computer' and shut down, so then after trying to get it to work i couldnt figure it out, so i reinstalled windows 7 on it <I already had a version of windows 7 on it before hand> because i kne
[07:34] <carson> w that doing that would fix grub, it worked and now i have 2 windows 7's on the computer, and i dont know how to delete the new unneeded one
[07:34] <Benwacki> Well, thanks for all the help guys. This place is always great.
[07:34] <cody_> Mabinogi
[07:34] <cousin_mario> cody_: last time I checked you could use ies4linux
[07:34] <nit-wit> Benwacki,  would just do a full install of Ubuntu on a 8 gig or larger thumb, it would run faster
[07:35] <cousin_mario> cody_: but perhaps I'm not privy to the latest developments
[07:35] <cody_> we all know Firefox is better
[07:35] <cody_> huh?
[07:35] <cody_> IES4linux?
[07:35] <cousin_mario> yes
[07:35] <Jordan_U> jenna_: Benwacki: Both of you have very odd problems.
[07:35] <cody_> what's that?
[07:35] <cousin_mario> cody_: although it hasn't been developed for a while, it seems
[07:36] <Jordan_U> jenna_: Is the error you're getting the same?
[07:36] <Benwacki> nit-wit:  Hmm, that would make it alot easier. As I could  just keep that second partition in the same format and use it as extra space I guess.
[07:36] <cousin_mario> cody_: google it
[07:36] <cody_> kk
[07:36] <Syria> Jordan_U:  Sorry, lost my connection. I was telling you that i want to install lucid on a virtual machine from an iso file.
[07:36] <Billgates425> carson  in  win7 delete  the one you want to delete partition using magic partition
[07:37] <Billgates425> and then rezize thr other partition
[07:37] <nit-wit> Benwacki, yeah just a suggestion.:)
[07:37] <cody_> looks like Winetricks might not be the best opion for some of it's content, huh?
[07:37] <carson> Billgates425 does it come with magic partition? and would that delete grub also, like how deleting linux deleted grub?
[07:38] <nit-wit> Benwacki, use the cutom install though so you have grub pointed correctly=mbr of thumb. Sounds like you may know this though.
[07:38] <Jordan_U> Syria: Then that's something you configure in whatever virtual machine software you're using.
[07:38] <gobbe> cody_: you should know that most of the windows-games are not working under linux
[07:38] <nit-wit> *custom
[07:38] <gobbe> cody_: i mean with wine etc
[07:39] <cody_> yeah, but I looked this one up prior.
[07:39] <cody_> said it ran with some apps installed
[07:40] <Benwacki> nit-wit: Thanks, I'm a bit new to actually messing with grub outside of one experience dual booting a few years back
[07:40] <Syria> Jordan_U I am using virtual box, i will try installing a new virtual machine.
[07:40] <cousin_mario> cody_: according to winedb it's IE8 you should be using
[07:40] <cody_> for Mabinogi?
[07:41] <cody_> says iexplorer7.....
[07:41] <III> hello all.. anyone tried hooking up a picoLCD-20x2 (http://www.mini-box.com/picoLCD-20x2-OEM) to 10.04? --> It seems I am missing the picolcd.so
[07:41] <cousin_mario> cody_: in general
[07:41] <carson> Billgates425 okay i downloaded partitionmagic 8.0, wich is what cameup on google, and when i clicked run setup it said there is known compatibility issues with it on windows 7, is it safe to partition with a un compatible program? couldnt that screw the computer up alot?
[07:42] <greenIT> hi, i have a problem with my mouse (mad catz cyborg r.a.t. 7), does anyone know this mouse and has a fix for the malfunction?
[07:42] <cody_> ah, kk, i've also tried that with the same results.
[07:43] <cipher> exit
[07:43] <Billgates425> yes its safe
[07:44] <Billgates425> carson
[07:45] <carson> Billgates425 okay, then il do it
[07:45] <royale1223> carson, why dont you try gparted?
[07:46] <carson> royale1223 never herd of it, is that another thing like partitionmagic?
[07:46] <royale1223> carson, yep
[07:46] <royale1223> carson, actually parted magic uses gparted
[07:47] <Jordan_U> jenna_: Is the error you're getting the same after having run grub-install?
[07:47] <jitit> hey, i'm an ubuntu newbie. im looking for a good resource to get an intuitive understanding of ubuntu/terminal. any recommendations?
[07:47] <jenna_> Jordan_U, yes, its dentical
[07:47] <ItsMeCD> has anyone had success with an hp mini 110 and the un2400 wwan card?
[07:48] <carson> royale1223 okay well im just gonna try partitionmagic thingy, but i have one question. when i deleted linux's partition using windows 7 built in partition thing, it deleted grub along with it, why is that?
[07:48] <Us3r_Unfriendly> jitit: www.linuxcommand.org is a great place to start...and there's youtube
[07:49] <jitit> ah yes- thats the one ive been using. thanks
[07:49] <royale1223> carson, because grub is installed in linux's partition
[07:49] <Jordan_U> jenna_: Try asking in #grub. Also I may be of more help tomorrow when I'm not so tired.
[07:49] <Us3r_Unfriendly> jitit: I hated the first time I needed to use a terminal, now i use it all the time.  gui is just for show
[07:50] <Us3r_Unfriendly> jenna_: what's your question?
[07:50] <carson> it is? now that i dont have linux on the computer, just two windows 7's, is grub in one of the windows 's or does it have its own partition or where is it now?
[07:50] <jitit> im confused as to why the command "aptitude" is not found
[07:50] <jenna_> Jordan_U, ok.  thanks anyways
[07:50] <ItsMeCD> apt-get jitit
[07:50] <muneeb> how to contact staff? i have forgotten my password.
[07:50] <rww> jitit: because it's not installed by default any more
[07:50] <jitit> aptitude is outdated ?
[07:50] <jitit> ah i see
[07:50] <Us3r_Unfriendly> carson: I believe it caches itself to the harddrive
[07:50] <rww> muneeb: nickserv password? #freenode
[07:50] <muneeb> yes @rww
[07:51] <jitit> yeah i switched to a linux-based os because i was tired of dealing with GUIs
[07:51] <carson> Us3r_Unfriendly so if i deleted one of my windows 7's would grub be deleted again?
[07:51] <ItsMeCD> tired of dealing with windows
[07:51] <ItsMeCD> but can't get my 3g card working so i may have to dual boot
[07:52] <smw> jitit, that is why I never gave up linux. Windows had no cli alternative for the gui
[07:52] <smw> jitit, (not joking)
[07:52] <Crash1hd> can anyone tell me of a channel where they discuss movies?
[07:52] <muneeb> i've forgotten my nickserv password, how do i get it back?
[07:52] <smw> muneeb, no idea. Type /join #freenode and ask them
[07:53] <rww> muneeb: I already said, ask in #freenode.
[07:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> windows uses the "mbr" not grub...I guess you'd have to redo the windows mbr to replace grub...and I have 0 experience on that 'cuz I could never uninstall my Linux distro over windows
[07:53] <muneeb> ok
[07:53] <ItsMeCD> just insert your windblows repair disc and repair the mbr
[07:53] <Us3r_Unfriendly> good call ItsMeCD
[07:53] <Billgates425> carson if yo deleted linux and one win7 now the grub will not work  you will get an error  now  you must to do this http://www.ehow.com/how_4836283_repair-mbr-windows.html
[07:53] <royale1223> carson, let me get this straigt. You initially had win 7 + linux. You wnted to remove linux, so you deleted your linux partition. Now your computer is not booting up. Right?
[07:54] <carson> Crash1hd #mp-tvseries i think, not sure though
[07:54] <HandyGandy> Hey I installed the wizardpen driver to use my Genius MousePad. It seems to work with gnome but not kde. Any ideas why?
[07:54] <Crash1hd> carson, thanks :)
[07:54] <Us3r_Unfriendly> carson: can I ask you why you didn't just uninstall windows?
[07:55] <carson> royale1223 yes, so then i reinstalled windows 7 because i knew it would fix the grub, but now it dualboots 2 windows 7's, and i am back to square one, deleting the extra operating system, but now im scared deleting the 2nd windows 7 will delete grub like it did to linux
[07:55] <carson> Billgates425 il check it out, thanks :)
[07:55] <lahwran> are there any screensavers I can use that are separate for each of my screens? sometimes I go for a while without using a screen and I'd like for a screensaver to come on on just that screen when I don't move the mouse there.
[07:56] <carson> Crash1hd no problem
[07:56] <Us3r_Unfriendly> carson: well hope you give linux another chance some time...
[07:56] <royale1223> carson, can you boot to 2nd win7?
[07:56] <carson> Us3r_Unfriendly because windows is stupid and i dont know how, deleting the partitions just seemed so much easier!
[07:56] <habanany> anybody know the sprint phone chat room
[07:57] <Us3r_Unfriendly> carson: but you deleted the linux partition though?  Guess I'm a bit confused at this point
[07:57] <Billgates425> carson hey jojojo
[07:57] <carson> Us3r_Unfriendly oh i love linux WAY more then windows, im on linux on my laptop right now. but i installed 32 bit ubuntu on our family computer by mistake when its a 64 bit system, so the drivers and stuff wernt working, thats why im getting rid of it
[07:58] <carson> royale1223 yes i can, but when i do its an installation thing and it wants the registration key wich i lost so that windows 7 is no good to me :P
[07:58] <Us3r_Unfriendly> carson: and everyone else: but to me the 32 bit seems like it works pretty smoothly compared to using a 64 bit and for example with 64 flash
[07:59] <Billgates425> jojojo  windows 7 for all ¡¡
[07:59] <Jordan_U> lahwran: I don't think that's a standard configuration, but anything is possible if you're willing to put enough work into it.
[07:59] <feanor2> is there a keyboard layout editor utility for Linux?
[07:59] <Billgates425> jojojo
[07:59] <royale1223> carson, there are ways to fix that too
[07:59] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i could be extremely wrong but that's what it feels like
[07:59] <royale1223> carson, illegal ways
[07:59] <lahwran> Jordan_U: darn.
[07:59] <lahwran> not worth it
[08:00] <TariQMowafy> hi
[08:00] <Us3r_Unfriendly> hi TariQMowafy, have a question?
[08:00] <Billgates425> royale1223 im watching u
[08:00] <smw> feanor2, system -> preferences -> keyboard
[08:00] <TariQMowafy> on startup i get a black screen with (operating system not found )on it
[08:00] <royale1223> Billgates425, fair enough
[08:01] <carson> Us3r_Unfriendly yah, personaly i dont really see the difference, and for all the hassle of now i cant have windows xp <the windows i do like> or vista on the new 64 bit computer, so i cant dualboot it, and the audio editing software i love <cool edit pro 2.0, before it was bought out by adobe> isnt windows 7 compatible
[08:01] <TariQMowafy> Us3r_Unfriendly, i need to format the hard disk
[08:01] <Us3r_Unfriendly> TariQMowafy: what exactly happened?
[08:01] <TariQMowafy> Us3r_Unfriendly,  no clue its a friends laptop
[08:01] <fz_> I don't konwn]
[08:01] <aditya> whenever I try to install any package in ubuntu 11.04 natty ..i get an programming error in aptdaemon
[08:01] <carson> royale1223 yes yes i know, but i dont want the 2nd windows 7, i just have it because i knew installing it would fix the grub issue so i could atleast use the computer, and now i just have a dualboot screen that has 2 windows 7's, one that doesent really work and the other that has my files
[08:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> TariQMowafy: stupid question, but was the laptop dropped?
[08:02] <TariQMowafy> i guess no
[08:02] <Us3r_Unfriendly> TariQMowafy: was it working previously before the black screen?
[08:02] <TariQMowafy> yea
[08:02] <aditya>  whenever I try to install any package in ubuntu 11.04 natty ..i get an programming error in aptdaemon?bcoz of this i am unable to install my wireless package
[08:03] <Us3r_Unfriendly> TariQMowafy: starting with step one, what is your bios set to boot to?
[08:03] <TariQMowafy> Us3r_Unfriendly, i just need to format the hard disk and install ubuntu
[08:03] <royale1223> carson, why didnt u select the drive which you installed 1st win7 while reinstalling?
[08:03] <mgolisch> aditya: maybe try #ubuntu+1
[08:03] <fz_> my ubuntu could not open
[08:03] <TariQMowafy> cd
[08:03] <royale1223> join #ubuntu+1
[08:04] <carson> royale1223 i did the first time, then it said "Compatibility Issue" and told me it wouldnt work, so i had to create a new windows...
[08:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> TariQMowafy: sounds like the way to go...save alot of time trying to repair it.  Just installing Ubuntu will be alot easier
[08:04] <TariQMowafy> i used the usb startup disk
[08:04] <TariQMowafy> but it hangs at preparing to install
[08:04] <Us3r_Unfriendly> TariQMowafy: nice
[08:05] <Us3r_Unfriendly> TariQMowafy: have you tried unetbootin?
[08:05] <TariQMowafy> ??
[08:05] <Us3r_Unfriendly> !info unetbootin | TariQMowafy
[08:05] <thenoob> cant u jus use the win7 cd to wipe the ubuntu partition then install ubuntu again
[08:05] <royale1223> carson, y dont you just format the win7 partitions and reinstall ubuntu?
[08:06] <carson> royale1223 okay, im just gonna ask one question and it will solve the issue...
[08:06] <Us3r_Unfriendly> TariQMowafy: I use unetbootin over the startup disk creator...just might be me...but it seems like some times the start up disk creator sometimes doesn't work
[08:06] <TariQMowafy> maybe i should try it
[08:06] <royale1223> carson, okie
[08:06] <TariQMowafy> Us3r_Unfriendly, thanks anyways
[08:06] <Us3r_Unfriendly> TariQMowafy: sure?
[08:06] <feanor2> is there a keyboard layout GUI *EDITOR* utility for Linux?
[08:07] <TariQMowafy> Us3r_Unfriendly, yea
[08:07] <carson> Everyone, where does grub save if u dont have a linux on ur computer? i want to delete my windows 7 partition, would grub be deleted if i delete the windows 7 partition?
[08:07] <Us3r_Unfriendly> carson: the cache of the hard drive
[08:08] <fz_>  how to delete windows 7?please
[08:08] <carson> Us3r_Unfriendly i feel really stupid for saying this, but what is the cashe? what does it mean
[08:08] <royale1223> carson, if u have a separate boot partition grub installs there
[08:08] <smw> feanor2, I told you already
[08:08] <smw> feanor2, system -> preferences -> keyboard
[08:09] <carson> royale1223 then why did it get deleted instead of switch to my windows 7 partition when i first deleted linux?
[08:09] <feanor2> smw, do you see any editor there? I do not
[08:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> carson: I might be wrong about the cache part
[08:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> but that's my first guess
[08:10] <royale1223> because ubuntu have modified mbr for enabling boot
[08:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> What is cache?
[08:10] <Us3r_Unfriendly> The cache (pronounced "cash") is a space in your computer's hard drive and in RAM memory where your browser saves copies of previously visited Web pages. Your browser uses the cache like a short-term memory. Instead of downloading an image from a recently viewed website, it will load the image from your cache folder, thereby making the browsing process a little quicker.
[08:10] <royale1223> it isnt as simple as deleying ubuntu partiton
[08:11] <smw> feanor2, nm, you can only choose between premade ones
[08:11] <Us3r_Unfriendly> that's why I think I might be wrong
[08:12] <feanor2> i need to change it, either temporary or create a new one, but I cannot do it with xmodmap because it
[08:12] <feanor2> s primitive crap
[08:12] <carson> royale1223 okay, if i were to delete the new windows 7, would i just delete its partition or is there other stuff id need to do to safely get rid of it?
[08:12] <Billgates425> .
[08:12] <Billgates425> .
[08:12] <drtaru> hai
[08:12] <carson> Us3r_Unfriendly and okay, well atleast i know what cashe is now :P
[08:13] <royale1223> carson, what os do you need in your computer?
[08:13] <carson> the original windows 7
[08:13] <carson> not the new one
[08:13] <carson> because right now its dualbooted with both
[08:13] <Us3r_Unfriendly> they say it installs to the mbr of the drive
[08:13] <royale1223> okie
[08:14] <royale1223> carson, u dont have to delete the partition, just format it
[08:15] <aditya>  whenever I try to install any package in ubuntu 11.04 natty ..i get an programming error in aptdaemon whenever ?

[08:26] <rigved> Us3r_Unfriendly: having problems with natty?
[08:26] <Us3r_Unfriendly> nope...I was curious of what ppl think of it so far
[08:26] <Us3r_Unfriendly> i'm still in 10.10, but I might go to 10.04 or another distro
[08:27] <Doinkle> Us3r_Unfriendly, i have natty in a vm
[08:27] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Doinkle: how do you like it?
[08:27] <rigved> Us3r_Unfriendly: it's cool...you should give the new unity a try
[08:28] <Us3r_Unfriendly> rigved: i'm thinking of going wayland instead of X...but I think that'll be a project for later
[08:28] <Doinkle> its ideal for a lappy/netbook but not for me... u wana try it?  I can setup a remote session in a minute :)
[08:28] <chandrageetha> hi andycc, i didn´t insta unrar package, how to?
[08:29] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chandrageetha: you should already have the unrar package i believe by default...
[08:29] <Doinkle> Us3r_Unfriendly, its also not finished, you can see that oonce you use it
[08:29] <chandrageetha> yes, i have
[08:29] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chandrageetha: sudo apt-get install unrar
[08:30] <chandrageetha> in my installed software list it shows as installed
[08:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> Doinkle: thanks but i'm not sure on it
[08:31] <notk0> hello, how can I select and change/add languages to the language layout
[08:31] <Doinkle> no prob. if u wanna remote in to check it out, i dont care
[08:31] <notk0> I can't eve find one
[08:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> cool
[08:31] <chandrageetha> its already installed
[08:31] <carson> royal1223 Man that bcd thing helped alot! thanks! im still afraid to delete it :P but i renamed it "Bad Windows 7" and made it at the bottom of the list for now so my little brother and dad wont get confused, but man, this is a good tool :P
[08:31] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chandrageetha: what's the problem with it then?
[08:32] <Us3r_Unfriendly> how to use it?
[08:32] <chandrageetha> i cannot open folders through menu Places
[08:32] <Us3r_Unfriendly> unrar shouldn't be needed for that
[08:32] <chandrageetha> then it shows error  cannot archive it, archive type not found
[08:33] <chandrageetha> sorry, archive type not supported, this is the error message
[08:33] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chandrageetha: so if you try to open, lets say the Music folder under "Places", it gives you that error message?
[08:33] <tariq__> Us3r_Unfriendly, i used the unetbootin , created the disk
[08:33] <chandrageetha> exactly
[08:33] <tariq__> Us3r_Unfriendly, but the same thing happened
[08:33] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tariq__: how'd it turn out?
[08:34] <tariq__> hangs in the preparing to install phase
[08:34] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tariq__: did you get the iso from the Ubuntu site?
[08:34] <tariq__> does it take time
[08:34] <tariq__> yea
[08:34] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tariq__: which version of ubuntu did you dl?
[08:34] <tariq__> 10.10
[08:34] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tariq__: on what machine?
[08:35] <tariq__> Us3r_Unfriendly, ???
[08:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> what kind is it?
[08:35] <tariq__> hp 550
[08:35] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tariq__: and does it boot into the live environment at all?
[08:36] <tariq__> do you mean the machine that i want to fix??
[08:36] <tariq__> its sony vaio
[08:36] <chandrageetha> how can i fix the error?, there was power supply while working at the system, would it do harm?
[08:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tariq__: i mean the machine your installing ubuntu with a flash drive...can you boot into the "Live Environment"?
[08:37] <chandrageetha> how can i manage the archive manager error while opening a folder
[08:37] <geeknik> Good morning.
[08:37] <tariq__> yea
[08:37] <chandrageetha> but through computer, i can browse it
[08:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chandrageetha: open a terminal and type:    nautilus ~/Music
[08:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chandrageetha: does that open your Music folder?
[08:37] <Us3r_Unfriendly> good morning geeknik
[08:38] <chandrageetha> yes, it Opens!!!!
[08:38] <chandrageetha> through the command you have provided, what does it show
[08:38] <tariq__> Us3r_Unfriendly, yes i can open the environment
[08:38] <Us3r_Unfriendly> so chandrageetha, the problem lies in gnome-panel
[08:38] <chandrageetha> that means?
[08:39] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tariq__: i wonder what happens when from the "Live Environment" if you open the terminal and type in:    sudo fdisk -l
[08:39] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tariq__: does that show your hard drive?
[08:39] <chandrageetha> Us3r_Unfriendly, tell me how to correct it?
[08:40] <rigved> chandrageetha: it means that the links in the gnome panel are incorrect. is that right Us3r_Unfriendly?
[08:40] <tariq__> Us3r_Unfriendly, yes
[08:40] <Us3r_Unfriendly> chandrageetha: the "gnome-panel" is the panel on the top where you access your nautilus and the directories on your machine
[08:40] <chandrageetha> so, how can i mend it?
[08:41] <Us3r_Unfriendly> tariq__: so the hard drive is there...can you install from the "Live Environment"?
[08:41] <rigved> !resetpanel | chandrageetha
[08:42] <Us3r_Unfriendly> rigved: chandrageetha: that command should fix the problem, good lookin out rigved
[08:42] <rigved> Us3r_Unfriendly: :)
[08:43] <Doinkle> since ubottu is a bot, is there a !trigger that tells us the list of advice the bot has?  I didn't know about gnome reset myself..
[08:43] <tariq__> Us3r_Unfriendly, this time it hangs in the first page :S
