[00:00] <edbian> somebody: PM me
[00:00] <forces> maybe but that doesn't help me
[00:00] <forces> u.u
[00:00] <eggenz7> i have an intrepid install that was working fine but now when grub passes through the menu list it says, "Boot from (hd0,0) ext3 *UIDD*                               Starting up ...."
[00:00] <Okay> when I open my trash, the empty button is white-out. Any suggestions?
[00:01] <eggenz7> and locks up...anybody have any ideas?
[00:01] <forces> aptitude show ubuntu-desktop, there are a lot of package part of it
[00:01] <mgmuscari> any other victims of completely unreadable text fields in firefox when using dark gnome themes?
[00:01] <Condoulo> how would I configure NFS to share files back and forth between two Ubuntu machines.
[00:01] <mgmuscari> eggenz: make sure that your drives and partitions are still showing up correctly to grub
[00:02] <artillerytx> anyone know where i can get some NIC drivers for Broadcom
[00:02] <eggenz7> mgmuscari, has is that done?
[00:02] <coffeeman> my webcam is rumored to work with the m5602 driver.  how can i find out if it is installed?
[00:02] <eggenz7> mgmuscari, blkid displays everything from a live cd prompt
[00:02] <debclair> Can anybody help me get my caps lock led on my laptop work again?
[00:02] <Lostinspace_46> artillerytx  which ones do you need?
[00:03] <mgmuscari> debclair: non-functional LED is likely not a software issue
[00:03] <mgmuscari> cold solder joint or something
[00:03] <djkfdhj> debac1e, does 'xset led on' did something
[00:03] <mgmuscari> eggenz7: i wouldn't know what else to check
[00:04] <artillerytx> Lostinspace_46: broadcom CI0B-E I/0 Bridge with Gigabit Ethernet Rev 12
[00:04] <debclair> mgmuscari, but it worked before, it just suddenly stopped functioning
[00:04] <mgmuscari> debclair: bad solder joints can work for a while then fail
[00:05] <Lostinspace_46> Can't you just d/l them from you computers manufacturer?
[00:05] <debclair> nop, it works on windows
[00:05] <debclair> and it works at grub
[00:05] <mgmuscari> debclair: did you make any changes that coincide with the problem?
[00:05] <artillerytx> Lostinspace_46: Any idea where i can get that
[00:05] <debclair> it must be something involving I installed wimput which uses uinput
[00:05] <debclair> maybe that caused the error
[00:05] <murcherson> hi folks I have a 1gb memory stick that automatically gets mounted to /media/disk at boot, i have unmounted it then tried to remount but I am told that /media/disk doesnt exist (it doesnt). If i create /media/disk will it cause problems at next boot. Where can i check this. Thanks and sorry for the long post.
[00:06] <Lostinspace_46> artillarytxWhat kind of box do you have
[00:06] <bastidrazor> murcherson, creating that empty directory will -not- cause problems
[00:06] <artillerytx> Lostinspace_46: dell poweredge 1750
[00:07] <murcherson> thanks bastidrazor
[00:07] <murcherson> will it get remounted to the directory i created or create a new one automatically
[00:07] <DJNomad> I failed trying to automount my 2nd hdd if anyone has a minute can you step by step me ?
[00:08] <bastidrazor> murcherson, if it used that directory in the past it will continue to mount there on automounts. manual mounts are dependent on actual directories
[00:08] <DJNomad> http://pastebin.com/m1f4a4cba
[00:08] <murcherson> again thanks
[00:08] <DJNomad> theres my mount output
[00:09] <eggenz7> mgmuscari, just a quick check on /etc/fstab is for /dev/sda1 (which is the boot drive) it has an option of relatime..isnt that supposed to be realtime?
[00:09] <Lostinspace_46> artillarytx The dell site will have the drivers.  Just d/l them and run them through the archiver. Then pick the files you need. (.SYS and .inf)
[00:09] <mgmuscari> yeah
[00:10] <mgmuscari> eggenz7: that does sound like a typo
[00:10] <bastidrazor> DJNomad, pastebin two thing your /etc/fstab and sudo blkid
[00:10] <H_M-Laptop> I have a question, dmesg outputs with an interesting timestamp [xxxxx.xxxxxx].. And i'm wondering if there is a way to convert that to something like [hour:min:second:msecond]
[00:10] <eggenz7> mgmuscari, think it would cause the problems im having?
[00:10] <artillerytx> .sys and .inf
[00:10] <steven|> Hi, anyone gotten Conky working on 9.04 with XFCE? When I run it, it seems to wait to draw itself until I kill the process, and then it draws once and leaves the graphics artifacts on my screen.
[00:10] <eggenz7> H_M-Laptop, im working the same thing
[00:10] <artillerytx> Lostinspace_46: do i download the ones for linux
[00:10] <artillerytx> red
[00:10] <artillerytx> hat
[00:10] <mgmuscari> eggenz7: possibly, if the system chokes while trying to mount drives
[00:10] <murcherson> what filesystem do you folks use?
[00:11] <H_M-Laptop> eggenz7, you're kidding right?
[00:11] <eggenz7> H_M-Laptop, no
[00:11] <H_M-Laptop> :X
[00:11] <Kalmi> !poll | murcherson
[00:11] <DJNomad> http://pastebin.com/m58ab90ef
[00:11] <H_M-Laptop> Well....... I mean there has to be some way to do it.
[00:11] <murcherson> eek
[00:12] <Kalmi> !ot > murcherson
[00:12] <steven|> H_M-Laptop, I think those'll be seconds since boot. Easiest is probably to bash-script something to add those values to the time you booted at (by comparing uptime to date/time)
[00:12] <crazy2be> my system is doing some major lagging (mouse movement is jerky), because i attempted to open a large file with gedit. Is there some way to correct this lagging? (i already forcibly quit gedit)
[00:12] <xvii69> hey does anybody know if or when a Blackberry Desktop manager is going to come out
[00:12] <DJNomad> http://pastebin.com/m484e1fcc
[00:12] <H_M-Laptop> steven|, indeed, I know that already. I just need to figure out a script to convert it.
[00:12] <murcherson> ok thanks
[00:13] <DJNomad> bastidrazor,  I already manully mounted it
[00:15] <Lostinspace_46> artillarytx D/L the drivers they have.  open them (NOT run) and pick out the .sys and .inf files. put them together in whatever folder you want to make for the.  Install ndiswrapper.Then in System>Administration click on use window drivers.
[00:16] <bastidrazor> DJNomad, what are you wanting to accomplish then?
[00:16] <DJNomad> I want it to automount not manual
[00:17] <Lostinspace_46> artillarytx Then run "sudo update-initramfs -k all -u" and reboot.
[00:18] <Lostinspace_46> artillarytx Almost forgot, you need to blacklist "ssb" and :b43"
[00:18] <geminnis_> hi
[00:19] <Oceanic> hi
[00:19] <bastidrazor> DJNomad, a usb stick?
[00:20] <DJNomad> bastidrazor,  its a internal hdd ,i use xfce and thunar dont automount or something like that
[00:20] <H_M-Laptop> How do I get the current time in seconds from terminal?
[00:21] <eris> date
[00:21] <eris> oh n/m
[00:21] <Lostinspace_46> artillarytx Go to ubuntu forums. find networking and wireless.  Right at the start there is a great tutorial.
[00:21] <H_M-Laptop> %s
[00:22] <eris> date +%s
[00:22] <eris> yeah :D
[00:22] <H_M-Laptop> :P
[00:22] <steven|> Hi, anyone gotten Conky working on 9.04 with XFCE? When I run it, it seems to wait to draw itself until I kill the process, and then it draws once and leaves the graphics artifacts on my screen. (Yes, repost, because of a lot of scrollup =-( )
[00:22] <Lostinspace_46> Hi all. I am running Jaunty. I am having a problem with my xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml file.  Some of the properties work fine, and others don't work at all. Shouldn't they ALL either work or not since they are all in the same file (which contains most all of System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts)?
[00:23] <ale_> server in caricamento .... risposta positiva dei rumori hardware
[00:23] <bastidrazor> DJNomad, sdb1 is the drive you want mounted, correct?
[00:23] <H_M-Laptop> Now........ how do I get the time that the system started (In seconds)
[00:23] <H_M-Laptop> Oh right.
[00:23] <DJNomad> bastidrazor,  yes it is
[00:23] <steven|> H_M-Laptop, I'd use uptime and subtract from date
[00:23] <H_M-Laptop> Or... how do I get uptime in seconds.
[00:23] <H_M-Laptop> :)
[00:23] <bastidrazor> DJNomad, where do you want it mounted?
[00:24] <DJNomad> bastidrazor,  /120
[00:24] <DJNomad> I already have that directory made and have it mounted there atm
[00:26] <bastidrazor> DJNomad,   http://pastebin.com/m1670c448  make your fstab look like that. manually umount sdb1 then type sudo mount -a .. if it mounts then it will automount on reboot
[00:26] <lstarnes> H_M-Laptop: try cat /proc/uptime
[00:27] <steven|> thanks, lstarnes ... was about to suggest the same, you got there first =-b
[00:27] <MattPhilie> I am in the /etc folder trying to view a folder inside of it and it says You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "ircd-hybrid".
[00:27] <MattPhilie> Help?
[00:27] <mgmuscari> does anybody know how i can tell if Ubuntu Firefox Modifications is installed?
[00:28] <steven|> MattPhilie, you'll have to run 'sudo su' first to get into superuser mode
[00:28] <trakcyia> how can i change my keyboard layout in such a way that the "i" key outputs the letter c, and the "c" key outputs the letter i?
[00:28] <lstarnes> steven|: that is not recommended
[00:28] <MattPhilie> stevenj: in a terminal?
[00:28] <trakcyia> can I customize layouts?
[00:28] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: sudo -i is preferred over sudo su.  yes, in a terminal
[00:28] <netlarirvine> Hi
[00:29] <steven|> lstarnes, didn't know that... my bad
[00:29] <DJNomad> how do i open mousepad in root??
[00:29] <th0r> DJNomad: sudo mousepad in a terminal
[00:29] <lstarnes> DJNomad: alt+f2; enter gksudo mousepad
[00:29] <trakcyia> the same way you do as non-root?
[00:30] <DJNomad> thanks
[00:30] <H_M-Laptop> lstarnes, that works, but which value is what?
[00:30] <MattPhilie> lstarnes: I did that and the folder still says I cannot view it
[00:30] <steven|> lstarnes, MattPhilie well, my next warning was going to be to make sure to not change any files unless you /know/ what you're doing ;-)
[00:30] <H_M-Laptop> I mean, it returns 2 values.... :)
[00:30] <lstarnes> th0r: graphical applications should be run with gksudo, not sudo
[00:30] <bastidrazor> DJNomad, #xubuntu may also be of help since you're using xfce
[00:30] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: what are you using to view it?
[00:31] <MattPhilie> lstarnes: I went into the file system folder and opened the etc folder and that folder wont open
[00:31] <coffeeman> anyone had any success getting the creative live cam im pro (4055) to work?
[00:31] <steven|> MattPhilie, are you in the /etc folder now, or still in / ?
[00:31] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: did you try moving into the directory in the terminal with cd /etc/ircd-hybdir?
[00:32] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: oops.  cd /etc/ircd-hybrid
[00:32] <MattPhilie> stevenj: I did the sudo -i and the other thing closed the folder tried to open no luck so i closed it
[00:32] <H_M-Laptop> lstarnes, cat /proc/uptime returns 2 values.. May I ask what they return?
[00:32] <MattPhilie> lstarnes: sorry im a noob, what do i type? sorry new user here
[00:32] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: exactly what I said
[00:32] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: cd /etc/ircd-hybrid
[00:32] <VCoolio> mgmuscari: in firefox, check the add-ons, it should be listed there
[00:33] <mgmuscari> VCoolio: thanks, that's what i figured... i don't see it there
[00:33] <MattPhilie> lstarnes: I get this.. 'bash: cd: /etc/ircd-hybdir: No such file or directory
[00:33] <MattPhilie> '
[00:33] <steven|> MattPhilie, If that doesn't work, please run "ls -l /" without the quotes and look at the first column, on the same row as 'etc'. The permissions (letters in the first column) should be drwxr-xr-x, if they're set right.
[00:33] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: you used the wrong one.
[00:34] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: cd /etc/ircd-hybrid
[00:34] <mgmuscari> VCoolio: i'm going crazy; i use a dark theme on gnome, and the text field colors are partially applied to firefox... all my text boxes have a dark background but black text. trying to style them in userContent.css doesn't work and i'm trying to figure out why
[00:34] <steven|> MattPhilie, Please do NOT paste the full output of ls, by the way
[00:34] <VCoolio> mgmuscari: ah, that's not fixed with that add-on / package
[00:34] <steven|> mgmuscari, Try googling for a script called "darkfix"
[00:35] <Viking_> ?
[00:35] <mgmuscari> VCoolio, yeah what i see so far indicates that there's a bug in that plugin that interferes with user styles
[00:35] <mgmuscari> steven|: thanks
[00:35] <Fraxtil> Is there a separate channel for 64-bit Ubuntu?
[00:35] <MattPhilie> stevenj: I see it..
[00:35] <MattPhilie> lstarnes: Still the same error
[00:36] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: which error?
[00:36] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia Go to usr/include/linux/input.h Swap the keycodes between "i" and "c"
[00:36] <MattPhilie> lstarnes: bash: cd: /etc/ircd-hybri: No such file or directory.... and I copied exactly what you said
[00:37] <trakcyia> wow lostinspace_4 good one! thanks
[00:37] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: you missed the 'd' at the end
[00:37] <dreamy_> how to i make the pc game army ops not get blocked trougth the firewall?
[00:37] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia most welcome
[00:38] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia I am working on a big modification myself
[00:38] <mgmuscari> bah, darkfix didn't do anything for me
[00:38] <MattPhilie> lstarnes: Oops, now it says permission denied
[00:38] <mgmuscari> actually it looks like it tried to do exactly what i tried to do
[00:38] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: sudo -i
[00:38] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: then do the cd command
[00:39] <theholyduck> does kubuntu/xubunutu ship with zenity?
[00:39] <theholyduck> well i guess kubuntu wouldnt seeing as how its a gtk app
[00:39] <mgmuscari> http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=no&comments_parentId=376954&forumId=1
[00:39] <steven|> lstarnes, it's "sudo -i <command>" all on one line, or no?
[00:39] <mgmuscari> this is the same as my problem
[00:39] <MattPhilie> lstarnes: Ok i got no error in terminal and tried to open the folder with no luck
[00:40] <lstarnes> steven|: sudo -i does essentally what sudo su does
[00:40] <VCoolio> mgmuscari: try what steven said; I stored two links but don't use dark themes anymore so not sure which works if any: http://paste.ubuntu.com/228753/
[00:40] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: you'll have to browse it using the terminal
[00:40] <bastidrazor> !info zenity
[00:40] <MattPhilie> ok lstarnes
[00:40] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: you can use 'ls' for listing files and directories
[00:40] <steven|> Okay, so -i is the last argument it takes
[00:40] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: and 'cd' for changing directories.  To go up a directory, cd ..
[00:40] <psywiped> does anyone know of a app for a server that works like Flicker?
[00:40] <mgmuscari> VCoolio, yeah, i took a look at darkfix and tried it out - it works by modifying the same files i was messing around with in the first place
[00:40] <bastidrazor> theholyduck, it appears to be an optional package which means it is not installed by default
[00:40] <steven|> Hadn't used that before, I'll have to read up and find out why it's better. Thanks, lstarnes
[00:41] <lstarnes> steven|: sudo su opens a shell in su in sudp
[00:41] <lstarnes> *sudo
[00:41] <theholyduck> bastidrazor, it is on ubuntu :P
[00:41] <lstarnes> steven|: sudo -i opens a shell in sudo alone
[00:41] <xTheGoat121x> My installer just crashed, just at the 'adduser' section of installation... is there a way for me to recover that installation, so I don't have to go through the entire installation process again?
[00:41] <theholyduck> bastidrazor, as i remember anwyay
[00:41] <Sephr> could someone running 64bit ubuntu tell me if this testcase (that sets XML.prettyIndent to a negative value) crashes your computer? WARNING DON'T CLICK UNTIL YOU READ PREVIOUS STATEMENT: http://code.eligrey.com/testcases/firefox/negative_XML_prettyIndent.html
[00:41] <lstarnes> steven|: plus it tries to simulate an actual login
[00:41] <trakcyia> My project is pretty simple, I'm using the usa dvorak layout, but the i and c keys can't be swapped because evil dell made the reciprocal for the i key different than all the others
[00:41] <theholyduck> bastidrazor, well no worry, i'll just add a , you need zentiy to use this script warning
[00:41] <theholyduck> :P
[00:41] <steven|> lstarnes, It's just inefficient, then? Kinda like SSHing into yourself?
[00:41] <theholyduck> maybe even a function to install it if its not there
[00:41] <lstarnes> steven|: sudo -i is likely more secure as well
[00:42] <theholyduck> trakcyia, then just stick some new labels on them?
[00:42] <bastidrazor> theholyduck, i do have it installed too, i suppose my 'optional' assumptions was wrong.
[00:42] <psywiped> im looking for a flicker like app for my server does anyone know of any?
[00:42] <snodinator> hello
[00:42] <theholyduck> bastidrazor, but its a gtk thing, so im not entirely sure kubuntu would have it :P
[00:42] <snodinator> anyone know what the stats is of the char transfers from NS?
[00:42] <trakcyia> put simply, the i is there to stay, i think they did that to prevent international units posing as a different origin by key swapping
[00:42] <theholyduck> well whatever, i'll just tell them to dl ti
[00:43] <bastidrazor> theholyduck, true, you may be required to apt-get it in kubuntu. kubuntu and ubuntu are all the same under the hood
[00:43] <trakcyia> theolyduck i yeah.. that would be the first conclusion
[00:43] <plaguehiv> om jag tar bort allt utom Home partitionen när ajg installerar om ubunto, kommer allt som finns i typ Pictures och videos vara kvar då?
[00:43] <plaguehiv> bara tar bort filsystemet då
[00:43] <trakcyia> but if you don't want stickers on your lovely backlit keyboard, and aren't that much of a stickler, you can live with a 95% awesome layout
[00:43] <MattPhilie> lstarnes: I can't even open my file though, it won't work
[00:44] <sebsebseb> plaguehiv: du vill ha #ubuntu-se
[00:44] <sebsebseb> you want  #ubuntu-se
[00:44] <plaguehiv> sorry mt -.-'
[00:44] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: how are you opening the file?
[00:44] <bastidrazor> theholyduck, it being gtk dependent it may try to pull all the gtk dependencies that i'm guessing you don't want.
[00:45] <sebsebseb> !se |  plaguehiv
[00:45] <DJNomad> bastidrazor,  thanks I rebooted and things worked perfectly
[00:45] <Tyler-J-B> ok, how would I, on my main Ubuntu machine, access NFS shares that are set on this machine.
[00:45] <theholyduck> bastidrazor, well i guess i'll maintain the dialog version aswell then
[00:45] <theholyduck> its just that i really really despise working with the terminal dialog
[00:45] <bastidrazor> DJNomad, good deal.
[00:45] <theholyduck> bastidrazor, and zenity seems like my savior
[00:46] <bastidrazor> theholyduck, shouldn't i be co-savior?
[00:46] <MattPhilie> Arg!! Why can I not just open this folder? 'You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "ircd-hybrid".',,, Like seriously can't this be simple to just open it.
[00:47] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: if you would prefer a graphical method, alt+f2, enter 'gksudo nautilus'
[00:47] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: but use extreme caution
[00:48] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: I prefer using the terminal, so I couldn't recall that off the top of my head
[00:48] <Tyler-J-B> how do I setup NFS shares to view on this machine so I can view then on my main Ubuntu machine
[00:48] <lstarnes> MattPhilie: also, alt+f2; 'gksudo gedit'
[00:48] <segin|kvirc> f
[00:48] <bastidrazor> MattPhilie, what does ls -al /etc/irc-hybrid give?
[00:48] <mgmuscari> man, this is hopeless
[00:49] <mgmuscari> thanks for the help all... later
[00:49] <psywiped> im looking for a flicker like app for my server does anyone know of any?
[00:51] <trakcyia> lostinspace_46 i need to reboot for changes to take effect?
[00:51] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia Try finding a key code you won't use (katakana), remove the "i" line entirely and rewrtite it using the katakana key code.  Remove katakana, too...lol
[00:51] <crunge> Is there a way I can trick the LiveCD into booting to a console login prompt instead of going into X?
[00:52] <akSeya> hey there...
[00:52] <sebsebseb> crunge: no, but you can use the alternate CD instead
[00:52] <crunge> sebsebseb: Excellent!
[00:52] <BlasenMich> was that for me?
[00:52] <sebsebseb> crunge: well I think you can for this
[00:52] <crunge> sebsebseb: I can look at it
[00:52] <trakcyia> could just kill gdm after login, to use prompt (stage 3?) on live
[00:52] <akSeya> guys.. I'm using ubuntu 9.04... my eth0 is set to use dhcp... if I set my ip staticly with ifconfig, after some time it looses it's IP address
[00:53] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia Not sure about the reboot, but prolly need to, as that file is read on boot
[00:53] <Sephr> could someone running 64bit ubuntu tell me if this testcase (that sets XML.prettyIndent to a negative value) crashes your computer? http://code.eligrey.com/testcases/firefox/negative_XML_prettyIndent.html
[00:53] <sebsebseb> crunge: ok and remember to md5sum the ISO
[00:53] <BlasenMich> need help with getting right video drivers for 9.0
[00:53] <sebsebseb> BlasenMich: drivers for what?
[00:53] <crunge> an even more significant question... the tool in Ubuntu that creates a LiveCD on a USB key from a physical disk... does the source disk have to be Ubuntu?
[00:53] <Tyler-J-B> Ok, how would I, on my main PC view NFS shares created on this PC
[00:53] <BlasenMich> samsung monitor 900DF
[00:54] <akSeya> I've never seen this before in any other distro...
[00:54] <sebsebseb> !xorg  |  BlasenMich
[00:54] <eggenz7> i have an intrepid install on a dell poweredge 2500....it was working just fine..yesterday i shut it down to move into the closet and now when it boots i get "boot from (hd0,0) ext3 *UIDD#*                Starting ip..." then the computer freezes
[00:55] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia I should say that file is read on boot, then placed in ram so without a reboot the changes won't be read
[00:55] <sebsebseb> crunge: unetbootin will do other distros as well
[00:55] <faryshta> Hi, just installed Ubuntu on a different partition from where I had a Fedora installation, now the grub only recognize the Ubuntu partition. What can I do?
[00:56] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia
[00:56] <Lostinspace_46> oops
[00:56] <eggenz7> faryshta, edit menu.lst to enable the partition that fedora is on
[00:56] <akSeya> faryshta, boot into Ubuntu, mount your fedora partition, take a look at the menu.lst from fedora and copy the entry to your ubuntu menu.lst
[00:57] <jfdklsjklfdj> didnt work
[00:57] <sebsebseb> faryshta: should be able to add Fedora    gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[00:57] <sebsebseb> faryshta: are you dual booting  Fedora and Ubuntu, or do you have Windows on there as well or something?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> hey guys
[00:58] <trakcyia> i changed key c's corresponding number to that of key i, and vice versa. nothing changed
[00:58] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: coudn't sleep or something?
[00:58] <akSeya> any idea on my problem? ps.: i dont have an awai card
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> if you run vlc http server, does it need an x server
[00:58] <trakcyia> perhaps if i change the label that the number corresponds to instead, though that logically will do the same thing
[00:58] <trakcyia> (nothing)
[00:59] <sebsebseb> faryshta: well any way with enough RAM you can do other  distros in virtual machine
[00:59] <axisys> when i ssh to a ubuntu box, how can I tell if it is installed from a desktop image or server image ?
[00:59] <greensimian> Anyone have any idea where I can learn more about sound in Linux?
[00:59] <Guest4063> test
[00:59] <trakcyia> oh well im doing it anyway
[00:59] <Guest4063> :/ how dare someone be logged in as dream :o
[00:59] <greensimian> Pidgin is making this terrible sound when I get a message and i wnt to troubleshoot it
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> axisys: uname -a
[00:59] <abe3k> #winehq
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> greensimian: ni prefs, disable the sounds
[01:00] <axisys> ActionParsnip: they look the same
[01:00] <Dream-Stalker> better :P
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> axisys: the server one should say server
[01:00] <Dream-Stalker> right! anyone here able to help me with the plus plug in for aMSN plus?
[01:00] <Dream-Stalker> hey parsnip :P
[01:00] <faryshta> akSeya, sebsebseb thanks I will try to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and I have not any Windows install here ;-)
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> axisys: instead of generic ;)
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> Dream-Stalker: howdy
[01:01] <greensimian> So if there are no prefs, whats the dif between Pluse and ALSA?
[01:01] <sebsebseb> faryshta: how much RAM do you have?
[01:01] <Dream-Stalker> ^^
[01:01] <faryshta> 2 gb
[01:02] <sebsebseb> faryshta: ok  well dual booting is sucky, how about  picking a distro,  Ubuntu or Fedora,   Fedora :)   and  putting that on as host, and virtual maching the other
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> greensimian: afaik, pulse allows different volume levels for each app.
[01:02] <faryshta> sebsebseb, I wanna try to learn as much distros as I can, besides I have a /home partition so the configuration is not an issue.
[01:03] <faryshta> sebsebseb, thanks for the suggestion.
[01:03] <sebsebseb> faryshta: as much distros as you can, so virtual machines make sense :)
[01:03] <traemccombs> Any WoW + Wine + Ubuntu users around?  I've just upgraded my account to battle.net and can't get connected.  I'm able to log in on my windows box.  The problem seems to be from the Battle.net Account Selector. (I have 2 accounts)
[01:03] <sebsebseb> faryshta: having to psyically install each time you want to try another distro, that really does suck
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> traemccombs: i'd ask in #winehq
[01:03] <crunge> sebsebseb: nothing works better for learning than experiment. You *can* use ubuntu's USB Startup Device creator thingie to make USB boot tokens for other distros. Debian at least
[01:04] <faryshta> sebsebseb, thunar and gnome-monitor manager can't find the partitions were I have fedora. :(
[01:04] <sebsebseb> crunge: no, but you can install unetbootin into Ubuntu and do what you want
[01:04] <trakcyia> doesnt work
[01:04] <ActionParsnip> faryshta: i'd setup a muliboot system with many partitions with many boots
[01:04] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia hmmm
[01:04] <faryshta> ActionParsnip, how can I do it?
[01:04] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: why?  crazy
[01:04] <crunge> sebsebseb: I don't understand "no"
[01:04] <sebsebseb> faryshta: virtualizaton is better :)
[01:04] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia  Just a sec
[01:05] <BlasenMich> thanks to whomever showed me how to configure my video drivers.... I'd like to know what I did in case I have to do it again
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> faryshta: partition the drive into several partitions of say 5Gb then install each distro you want
[01:05] <sebsebseb> I am going to ask a guy to join that  can probably help  you both,  crunge and  faryshta
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: pure fun
[01:05] <alex87> hey guys, i had a kernel panic and now my sudo password gets rejected. any ideas why that would be?
[01:05] <crunge> sebsebseb: I accomplished my task and shared the success
[01:05] <gartral> ok all, im having two issues today, firstly shiretoko (firefo-3.5) will not open a link passed my another application... any thoughts?
[01:05] <ActionParsnip> alex87: try booting to recovery root and setting the password
[01:06] <sebsebseb> crunge: did you do it?
[01:06] <alex87> thanks ActionParsnip, i'll give it a shot
[01:06] <faryshta> ActionParsnip, I have already the hard drive partitioned. But the grub only takes on account one partition to boot.
[01:06] <webpigeon> sebsebseb, oh hai o/
[01:06] <crunge> sebsebseb: Yes. That's what I said. I was able to use Ubuntu's USB boot creator to throw a debian businesscard ISO onto a USB key
[01:06] <VCoolio> where to look if pcmanfm refuses to open files?
[01:06] <crunge> sebsebseb: maybe it worked because of family heritage ;)
[01:07] <BlasenMich> something about my X Window
[01:07] <faryshta> sebsebseb, I don't wanna run virtual, I wanna feel thee all distro.
[01:07] <sebsebseb> crunge: right well  if you want to do other distros as well  webpidgeon may be able to help you with unetbootin.
[01:07] <webpigeon> sebsebseb, https://launchpad.net/~gezakovacs/+archive/ppa
[01:07] <crunge> sebsebseb: excellent. Thanks for the pointer
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> faryshta: true, but you use grub to boot any other partition after that
[01:08] <sebsebseb> faryshta: I think your issue is, because  Fedora uses LVM, and Ubuntu don't, and  now  Ubuntu's  Grub  can't find your Fedora install
[01:08] <BlasenMich> well whomever it was, my video looks good... thanks so much for the help
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> faryshta: you would need to repartition, virtual systems will show how the system runs on virtual hardware
[01:08] <crunge> sebsebseb: I'm building a low-power embedded router firewall. All the storage is on a compact flash card
[01:09] <sebsebseb> faryshta: webpidgeon may be able to help you,  since he uses Ubuntu and Fedora,   and setting up to many partitions for some crazy  multiboot  which  ActionParsnip is suggesting, I really don't think is that great an idea
[01:09] <Xerran> Is there anyone familiar with Open Sound installation?
[01:09] <sebsebseb> bruce89: hi
[01:09] <bruce89> having more than one Linux install is asking for trouble really, grub can go mad
[01:10] <blendmaster1024> why do you want oss Xerran ?
[01:10] <blendmaster1024> use alsa
[01:10] <devil> Hi I´m devil again, PLS how to install a usb wireless device WLAN0 in ubuntu server 8.10
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: why is it so crazy, virtual systems use virtual hardware only so are not a true representation of the OS. You can multiboot as much as you like provided you have the space
[01:10] <gartral> ok secondly, my  VLC will re-display the title of whatever is playing everytime the scean changes
[01:10] <faryshta> ActionParsnip, sebsebseb will check for it on internet I am now confused @.@
[01:10] <Xerran> I have a SoundBlaster X-Fi card
[01:11] <devil> hello?
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> Xerran: unlucky
[01:11] <blendmaster1024> hi devil
[01:11] <devil> PLS how to install a usb wireless device WLAN0 in ubuntu server 8.10
[01:11] <Xerran> I have audio from using Open Sound but I need to make system sounds work
[01:11] <blendmaster1024> devil, plug it in
[01:11] <devil> console mode
[01:12] <devil> done
[01:12] <bruce89> blendmaster1024: that sounded a bit unlucky
[01:12] <blendmaster1024> it should be installed
[01:12] <devil> nope
[01:12] <sebsebseb> faryshta: normalley  ActionParnsip is pretty good at giving people advice, but I am not so sure about this time,  also  you have alreayd expereinced Grub  not working as you would have liked,  because you can't boot up Fedora right now,  and oh yes if you put to many distros on, you can get some right issues with Grub in the future
[01:12] <crunge> Xerran: My GF has one of those. Have had 0 luck getting it to work with ALSA, but it's also a 32-bit system
[01:12] <ecruz> qqwawaswesesesedse
[01:12] <Xerran> I am on 9.06 x64
[01:12] <devil> so, how i can select de wireless network
[01:12] <devil> ??
[01:12] <blendmaster1024> devil, oh, you want to use it now that it's installed
[01:12] <blendmaster1024> lol
[01:12] <crunge> Xerran: for my own info, what did you experience trying to get it to work with ALSA?
[01:12] <blendmaster1024> veeery different
[01:13] <Xerran> I was trying to follow this-->> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound
[01:13] <BlasenMich> i am crying on the floor
[01:13] <devil> well, pls help me
[01:13] <devil> what <
[01:13] <blendmaster1024> anybody know the tulip ethernet driver? mine is buggy, and i don't quite know what to change
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: you can install every OS that will run on your CPU if you like, grub will be a loong list but its possible
[01:13] <Xerran> I never tried ALSA
[01:14] <ecruz> ola
[01:14] <blendmaster1024> Xerran, time to change that
[01:14] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: a long list that would suck
[01:14] <trakcyia> brb
[01:14] <crunge> Xerran: I believe it's supposed to work with ALSA now on 64bit
[01:14] <devil> What I can do to see the wireless networks availables
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: its still entirely possible
[01:14] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: also if your going to have more than one OS on the same computer,  it's better to be able to run them both at the same time, yep virtual machine
[01:14] <Xerran> There was no audio from the get go once the OS was isntalled
[01:15] <devil> somebody can help me? about ubuntu server console mode
[01:15] <devil> ???
[01:15] <crunge> Xerran: I read a good article explaining why the author felt OSS4 was superior to ALSA, but you'll have endless trouble trying to use an alterative for such a critical feature set
[01:15] <ecruz> ola alguem brasileiro
[01:15] <blendmaster1024> devil, apperantly not
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: its an option but for a proper test on how each one runs on the hardware a true boot is needed as virtualised hardware is not representative of the true hardware
[01:15] <devil> oi
[01:15] <devil> vc fala portugues?
[01:15] <devil> ecruz

[01:15] <dfkmas> Yo, i have a problem, i am trying to mount a crypted disk with truecrypt i'w been used that before in windows, now when i try to do that but in ubuntu 8.04 it shows some problems, someone wants to help  me?
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> oops
[01:15] <Splix> Hi folks, the sound on my jaunty laptop doesn't work anymore ; I think it stopped just after having updated alsa to 1.0.20. How to confirm it and how can I revert it?
[01:15] <devil> briliant!!!!!
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> devil: sudo iwlist scan
[01:16] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: and  virtual machines work rather well,   except for certain things,   3D  graphics for example,  but your last comment is true,  however  instead of setting up a complex multi boot set up, why not install one or two or three OS's,  and remove what's not wanted anymore
[01:16] <ecruz> vomos tc
[01:16] <devil> thanks action parship
[01:16] <Xerran> how so?
[01:16] <noe> hola
[01:16] <dfkmas> Yo, i have a problem, i am trying to mount a crypted disk with truecrypt i'w been used that before in windows, now when i try to do that but in ubuntu 8.04 it shows some problems, someone wants to help  me?
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: both ways work fine
[01:16] <ecruz> devil voce e brasileiro
[01:17] <crunge> Xerran: many tools and sets of directions will be assuming the default underlying system
[01:17] <sebsebseb> faryshta: well I got someone to join the channel,  that may be able to help you boot up  Fedora  as well as Ubuntu again,  but then you got confused by  actionparsnip 's multiboot talk hmm
[01:17] <Jimmio1> Anyone here know how to setup VirtualBox OSE or Qemu to boot Mac OS X?
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> Jimmio1: thats against the license of OS X
[01:17] <crunge> Xerran: Until I get my GF's system on 64 bit she's got 2 sets of headphones. One for the X-Fi in windows and one for the on-board AC'97 in Linux
[01:17] <Xerran> ok
[01:18] <Jimmio1> ActionParsnip: Is it really...? v.v
[01:18] <devil> nao ecruz eu sou do ecuador
[01:18] <bastidrazor> Jimmio1, os X runs extremely poor in any type of VM.. plus it is illegal.
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> Jimmio1: yes, it is
[01:18] <devil> mas morei la muito tempo
[01:18] <ecruz> boa noite algum brasileiro para tc
[01:18] <devil> ecruz da onde é vc
[01:18] <j0e> Im having trouble getting "centerim" to understand the swedish chars like å,ä,ö.. Ive tried dpkg-reconfigure locales, set centerim lang presets to utf-8, iso-8859-15.. nothing works
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: if you reinstall grub on the system, it will see the fedora boot and add it afaik
[01:18] <faryshta> sebsebseb, I am already talking with webpigeon
[01:18] <crunge> Xerran: possible that when I get the new processor/motherboard installed and install 64 bit linux... it'll still fail miserably
[01:19] <Xerran> I have audio from yourube etc coming out of my speakers now in x64
[01:19] <ecruz> brasil pará
[01:19] <sebsebseb> faryshta: oh pm ah ok, good
[01:19] <crunge> Xerran: I'm gonna give it a shot though. That X-Fi has really wonderful sound
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> !brazil
[01:19] <ecruz> devil e voce
[01:19] <Xerran> it is just that I wanted to get system sounds such as logging on and off
[01:19] <devil> eeee
[01:19] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: maybe not, since Fedora uses LVM by default,  and Ubuntu can't just detect those or whatever
[01:19] <devil> isso mesmo
[01:19] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu's Grub
[01:19] <thiebaude> ActionParsnip, sebsebseb  hi
[01:19] <blendmaster1024> what did ubottu just say?
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: then use fedora's boot loader
[01:20] <trakcyia> brb again
[01:20] <blendmaster1024> lol debian is sooo much better than anything i've ever used
[01:20] <ecruz> devil qual e sua nacionalidade
[01:20] <blendmaster1024> well, that's not true
[01:20] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: he's got  the guy I got to join to hopefuly help  him,  in pm now anyway so :)
[01:20] <devil> Hi actionparsnip, i cann see the wlan0 but i have a message "Network is dow"

[01:21] <devil> mas morei no Santa Catarina
[01:21] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: however   as far as I know  faryshta  installed  Ubuntu  after Fedora, so it may not be as simple as just getting it using the  Fedora boot loader
[01:21] <Pici> devil: This channel is english only, please take it to a private message or join another portuguese channel with ecruz.
[01:22] <ecruz> devi que cidade do equador

[01:26] <leooo> hey guys, whats a pretty good cheap laptop that is compatiable with most linux distros ?
[01:26] <Pici> devil: I think that you're mistaken.
[01:26] <boss_mc> !pt | devil, we don't not like you, you might find these guys easier to communicate with...
[01:26] <crunge> leooo: your criteria is too broad. You might want a netbook
[01:26] <Lostinspace_46> devil  why do you say that?
[01:26] <cooper77z> just the wrong place, but thanks for showing me how to learn in the future
[01:26] <dameon> i've got an interesting question regarding servers and ubuntu server edition
[01:26] <devil> tudos sao ums feios
[01:26] <dameon> anyone know anything?
[01:26] <devil> adeus!!!!
[01:27] <silentContender> Can someone give me  some points with Amarok 2.1.1?  I don't know why it resets my iPod Nano frequently.
[01:27] <devil> :(
[01:27] <asddasdas> is it possible to install Grub on windows partition
[01:27] <eris> leooo: i really like how my old thinkpad x41 runs, dunno if ur looking for used or new lappys
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> leooo: acer aspire one works 100% out of the box with 9.04 netbook remix
[01:27] <pelmen> dameon: we do....next
[01:27] <dameon> wonderful
[01:27] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: maybe and that would be a bad idea
[01:27] <crunge> leooo: the Dell Mini 9's used to come with ubuntu presintalled. I've also heard good things about Linux on the ASUS eee systems
[01:27] <blackest_knight> devil: i speak a couple of languages yours isn't one of them, and what we have here is a failure to communicate :)
[01:27] <dameon> i've got an old compaq proliant 5000
[01:27] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: it can go in the  MBR of a Windows hard disk though of course
[01:27] <Pici> !enter | dameon
[01:27] <dameon> and for some reason the installer is only reading 16 MB of mem
[01:27] <asddasdas> sebsebseb: why would be a bad idea?
[01:27] <XfuMaster> sebsebse: If we hear you pissing on this channel We, Soderfors will make you wish youre never born
[01:28] <pelmen> update bios
[01:28] <ecruz> tem alguem de belém pa

[01:28] <HGF> hello all. does any1 have the problem in pidgin where any link (or new mail) links do NOT open in firefox ..or at all. any solutions?
[01:29] <dameon> good to know.  Anyway, the compaq proliant actually has nearly 450 MB of ram, but the installer for ubuntu server only recognizes 16 MB.  The kernel panics, and I fail to even start the install.
[01:29] <pelmen> dameon: update bios
[01:29] <bruce89> !tab | XfuMaster
[01:29] <sebsebseb> Pici: can you deal with  ecruz  properly and  maybe  XfuMaster as well,    I as well as other  people are  doing some support here :)
[01:29] <ecruz> pici fala portugues brasil
[01:29] <arand> HGF: Have you tried holding ctrl whilst clicking (just a guess)
[01:29] <dameon> i've updated the bios, and it recognizes all of the ram.  is there a way to force ubuntu to check all the ram?
[01:29] <Jaredu> hey guys quick question: my sound died what's the terminal command to open up the visual prompt thing to where I can fix it? all my levels are high and it's plugged in properly, this happens often :\
[01:30] <cooper77z> I don't even really understand what pidgin is supposed to do
[01:30] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: ,because   you don't want any of the Grub stuff inside Windows itself, you just don't
[01:30] <HGF> arand, oh it clicks fine but it gives an error msg
[01:30] <blackest_knight> dameon:  you could install the hdd on a different system , its not windows the install would adapt
[01:30] <VCoolio> HGF: have you set a browser in the prefs?
[01:30] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: ,but you can put Grub in  the Master Boot Record of the Windows hard disk of course, the very first section
[01:30] <XfuMaster> sebsebse: Play along or be nice... You seems to hsve no joust
[01:30] <HGF> VCoolio, i just installed so...probably not?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: its an all in one chat client for multiple protocols
[01:30] <sebsebseb> XfuMaster: whatever you came out with some kind of stupid comment to me
[01:31] <HGF> VCoolio, how do i do so
[01:31] <cooper77z> once I tried to configure it to yahoo messenger, but I failed to do it
[01:31] <dameon> I'm not sure I understand you; the system is clean right now, no OS (I'm installing ubuntu because windows keeps failing and no one knows why)
[01:31] <Jaredu> wtf now i have button sounds but my mp3's fail... the hell?
[01:31] <sebsebseb> Pici: thanks :)
[01:31] <asddasdas> sebsebseb: can i do it using only WinXP, without installed any linux os
[01:31] <cooper77z> does pidgin translate language or something?
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> dameon: if its the 219205-001 server it comes with 16mb ram
[01:31] <Pici> sebsebseb: sure, sorry for the slowness, just doing a few things at once here.
[01:31] <VCoolio> HGF: ok, in menu find prefs and in some tab find entry for browser command, make that like "firefox %u"
[01:31] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: don't think so, you will need a Live CD of some sort that will install Grub
[01:31] <akSeya> guys, I have ubuntu 9.04 on my notebook.. it's an Acer Aspire 5920 ... It has a Card Reader that is not working on ubuntu... any idea on what should I do to get it working?
[01:32] <asddasdas> sebsebseb: i have a live cd, using it right now
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: no, it simply allows you to chat on irc, jabber, msn, yahoo etc
[01:32] <VCoolio> HGF: in the buddy list window, not in the messages window
[01:32] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: you have Ubuntu installed already?
[01:32] <sebsebseb> Pici: np
[01:32] <cooper77z> ActionParsnip, why is it needed?
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> akSeya: plug in a card into it and run:  dmesg | tail; sudo fdisk -l; mount
[01:32] <renic> what file contains IP address assignments?
[01:32] <Jaredu> hmm nevermind guys apparently movieplayer isn't a good choice for mp3's
[01:33] <akSeya> ActionParsnip, dmesg show's nothing
[01:33] <asddasdas> sebsebseb: no, i didnt
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: for chatting. i use it for irc mainly but i use most of its protocols
[01:33] <blackest_knight> daemon: sounds like you have bad hardware , try reseating the ram and or run memtest from the cd
[01:33] <cooper77z> ok,
[01:33] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: ok so your  basically confussed as to where Grub is meant to go, hence why your asking these questions?
[01:33] <cooper77z> I knew it was popular
[01:33] <dameon> There's a heck of a lot more ram than that in this machine; it's a second-hand server from a company that went under years ago.  They beefed up the system; all the ram slots are filled.  The POST checks and verifies all 448 MB of ram, and i've reconfigured the BIOS several times so i'm sure it's reading all the ram.
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: its not needed, as in if you remove it the system will still work fine
[01:33] <cooper77z> but just didn't know why specifically
[01:33] <casey> does Ubuntu have like a remote desktop thing?
[01:34] <sebsebseb> !vnc  |  casey
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: use it, if you like it, use it. if not, get something else
[01:34] <renic> casey: yes.  x-windows was originally designed for network access
[01:34] <HGF> VCoolio_, ty
[01:34] <asddasdas> sebsebseb: well... no. my question is: can i install grub without installing any linux distribution. i'm ok with installing it in its own partition or something like that
[01:34] <blackest_knight> casey: not just vnc ssh or even rdp
[01:34] <renic> I like nxserver and nxclient are awesome
[01:34] <cooper77z> why whould pidgin be a better choice than x-chat-gnome, for what purposes?
[01:34] <renic> what a horid sentence :)
[01:34] <sebsebseb> asddasdas:  why would you want Grub for Windows?  that does not make sense
[01:34] <renic> cooper77z: if you want to connect to IM servers.
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: there is no better, or best, use what you prefer
[01:35] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: in fact there's even a Windows bootloader  that can be enabled
[01:35] <akSeya> ActionParsnip, how can I find out if the card reader is properly detected by Ubuntu?
[01:35] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: that lets you boot other versions of Windows, and  I think with some kind of hack, other  operating  systems as well
[01:35] <Jaredu> anyone know how to setup a gtk theme?
[01:35] <asddasdas> sebsebseb: yes but i cant get to the recovery console from the windows cd
[01:35] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: well yes other operating systems can be  booted from  the Windows boot loader as well
[01:35] <kovacsleeve> Is there a way to duplicate an existing Ubuntu installation on another machine? (IE same programs installed, but different logins/pwds)?
[01:35] <ActionParsnip> akSeya: run:   dmesg | less    and read, there will be a lot to read but you will see stuff about the reader
[01:35] <cooper77z> I suppose I was just confused because I couldn't talk to my friend in pidgin who was on yahoo messsenger
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> !clone > kovacsleeve
[01:36] <arand> Jaredu: drag it to the appearance dialogue?
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: theres an issue with the default yahoo server in pidgin
[01:36] <ActionParsnip> !yahoo
[01:36] <Lostinspace_46> What does it mean when I see something like !vnc  |   casey ?  This is my first time in channel.
[01:36] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: which recovery console?
[01:36] <cooper77z> thanks
[01:36] <Jaredu> arand, is that all? O_o I've never done it before :O
[01:37] <sebsebseb> !welcome |  Lostinspace_46
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> Lostinspace_46: it prompts ubottu to output a factoid, the pipe (the '|' character) makes ubottu say it to a user
[01:37] <asddasdas> sebsebseb: the one that lets you type 'fixmbr' to reinstall the windows bootloader
[01:37] <sebsebseb> Lostinspace_46: look at what I did there
[01:37] <renic> so, back to my earlier question.. i need to remove one of the IP addresses from a remote ubuntu machine.  It won't let me do it from a remote desktop connection, so I need to edit the file that contains the IP addresses.  In freebsd, i would just edit rc.conf.  Ubuntu doesn't use rc.conf, and I can't seem to find it. :(
[01:37] <bruce89> cooper77z: xchat(-gnome) are only for IRC
[01:37] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: ok well recovery mode in  the Ubuntu Grub  boot loader, is for   Ubuntu, and Ubuntu only
[01:37] <ActionParsnip> renic: you can set it in /etc/network/interfaces
[01:37] <blackest_knight> Lostinspace_46:  many questions are asked repeatedly hence easier to get the bot to say the answers
[01:38] <Lostinspace_46> ahhh...got it, very nice little tool
[01:38] <sebsebseb> asddasdas: so basically as  I  been thinking for a while now,  your  asking for Windows help in  the Ubuntu channal?
[01:38] <Seronis> !clone | seronis
[01:39]  * Dekko wonders where in the Linux kernel configuration do I find the Graphics Support settings for enabling Tux logo in framebuffer - compiling 2.6.30-2 here.
[01:39] <asddasdas> sebsebseb: i'm not sure, it's late and i'll probably go to bed right now... i'm tired :-/
[01:39] <sebsebseb> !windows |  asddasdas
[01:39] <Lostinspace_46> asddasdas Install windows first, it's just way easier that way
[01:39] <dameon> Anyone have any ideas on how to force the ubuntu server installer to recognize all of my memory?  the bios already does
[01:39] <sebsebseb> Pici: factoid  suggestion  changing,   help with some it should be above, in the Windows factoid
[01:40] <Dekko> anyone?
[01:41] <bruce89> Dekko: Device Drivers > Graphics Support > Bootup Logo
[01:41] <cooper77z> I don't understand the difference between irc and instant messaging in pidgin
[01:41] <renic> ActionParsnip: I have static IPs set on the machine now, but they do not appear there.
[01:41] <Lostinspace_46> asddasdas windows is very selfish about the MBR, and if installed second it wipes out grub
[01:41] <Dekko> Bruce89 Thanks!!
[01:41] <b0nn> hmm, I want to set up an ssh tunnel, but I don't want the forwarding part to be to a single address, I want it to be to any address
[01:41] <bruce89> cooper77z: IRC is this, IM is from one person to another
[01:41] <Paavi2_0> cooper77z: is that a problem?
[01:42] <blackest_knight> dameon:  check your memory with the memtest on the ubuntu cd , given that even with windows not recognising the ram , it sounds like a hardware issue.
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> renic, if you use network manager then i do not know where they are stored
[01:42] <cooper77z> oh, so in irc you don't know who you are talking to, but in pidgin you do?
[01:42] <renic> ActionParsnip: that's my problem too :( --- :)
[01:43] <bruce89> cooper77z: well, IRC is to more than one person usually
[01:43] <Paavi2_0> cooper77z: pidgin is a program, not a protocol. and with pidgin you can do im (instant messaging) and irc (internet relay chat)
[01:43] <dameon> blackest_knight: i've done the memtest, and it's all ok...  it only shows 16 MB though
[01:43] <Dekko> bruce89 is <M> = Mandatory?
[01:43] <cooper77z> I am really uneducated on this issue so thanks for bearing with me here
[01:43] <bruce89> Dekko: modules
[01:43] <Dekko> bruce89: Ah okay :)
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: irc is like chat rooms or channls on an irc server, yuo can chat one on on on irc too
[01:44] <Dekko> Thank you again for your help. Its the first time I am trying to compile a kernel here.
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: with IM protocols like yahoo and msn you chat one on one
[01:44] <cooper77z> I figured, though would it be private or public?
[01:44] <n2diy> I have two users on my test box, what is the simplest way to share a's bookmarks with b?
[01:44] <Paavi2_0> cooper77z: in irc you can find out who are you talking to with command /whois i.e /whois Paavi2_0
[01:44] <renic> ActionParsnip: "No manual entry for nm-connection-editor" doesn't help either.
[01:44] <blackest_knight> dameon: i'd take all the ram out and test 1 stick at a time maybe you only have 1 good stick or ram slot
[01:45] <cooper77z> but people don't use their real identities
[01:45] <bruce89> apart from me
[01:45] <arand> Jaredu: If you have a fairly standard theme.tar.gz package you just open up the appearance->theme dialogue and drag the archive into it, normally that is all there is to it
[01:45] <Lostinspace_46> sebsebseb  I saw the message awhile ago about keeping questions down to one line...What if it won't fit on one line :)
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: true, you can also spawn your own channels as you wish
[01:45] <trakcyia> damnit this is getting frustrating, it shouldn't be so hard to swap two keys
[01:45] <pelmen> dameon: I would take those 16 mb out first
[01:46] <cooper77z> thanks for the help, I am learning one day at a time
[01:46] <bruce89> Lostinspace_46: welcome to the fun of IRC
[01:46] <sebsebseb> Lostinspace_46: yeah  that's  there  bot message,  personally  I don't like  !ask and perfer just using !details when I can
[01:46] <trakcyia> though ill admit, it would be close to impossible in windows lol
[01:46] <sebsebseb> !details >  Lostinspace_46
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> cooper77z: every day is a school day
[01:46] <dameon> blackest_knight:  I've got 16 ram bays on two different cards....
[01:46] <cooper77z> it's good to learn new things
[01:46] <Seronis> !details | seronis
[01:46] <sebsebseb> Lostinspace_46: and you can   do a  paragraph or so  when nessarey of course
[01:46] <cooper77z> keeps the mind active
[01:46] <NefariousTed> Hi, hello, yes.
[01:46] <NefariousTed> I have a challenge.
[01:46] <dameon> pelmen:  I have no idea which 16 MB that is...
[01:46] <Jaredu> arand, sweet thanks.
[01:47] <Lostinspace_46> Hi all. I am running Jaunty. I am having a problem with my xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts.xml file.  Some of the properties work fine, and others don't work at all. Shouldn't they ALL either work or not since they are all in the same file (which contains most all of System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts)?
[01:47] <pelmen> dameon: well pull all out, leave 1 stick try. works - add one more and continue
[01:47] <trakcyia> oh i got it
[01:47] <NefariousTed> I was told you folks might be able to help
[01:47] <sebsebseb> NefariousTed: what is the challenge?
[01:47] <boss_mc> Lostinspace_46: unless something else is capturing the keys before xfce gets them...
[01:47] <n2diy> I have two users on my test box, what is the simplest way to share a's bookmarks with b?
[01:47] <Lostinspace_46> trakcyia  what worked for you?
[01:47] <NefariousTed> see, I'm trying to get ubuntu onto my desk top.
[01:48] <NefariousTed> I don't know how, and have been trying to for the past 2 days.
[01:48] <Seronis> n2diy:  xmarks
[01:48] <sebsebseb> !install |  NefariousTed
[01:48] <renic> does anyone know where the network manager stores it's settings?
[01:48] <n2diy> ! xmarks
[01:48] <NefariousTed> it's not as cut and dry as one might think though. My computer has no disc drive, and will not connect to the internet.
[01:48] <dameon> pelmen:  I might try that... But i'll be here for ever :)
[01:48] <VCoolio> n2diy: export bookmarks to html, import with user2? or copypaste the file if you can find it (.mozilla/firefox/blah.default/??)
[01:48] <n2diy> Seronis: what are xmarks?
[01:49] <pelmen> dameon: common it's only 16 slots :)
[01:49] <VCoolio> n2diy: xmarks is a plugin, works too
[01:49] <boss_mc> NefariousTed: got a USB > 1Gb and can the BIOS boot from USB?
[01:49] <Seronis> n2diy: its a browser plugin that manages your bookmarks between any number of installations
[01:49] <sebsebseb> NefariousTed: ok well in that case,   to be honest with you,   it's a bit pointless to have Ubuntu on your computer,  unless your going to do word proccessing and that's about it
[01:49] <Seronis> multiple logins across any number of computers.  great for syncing
[01:49] <pelmen> dameon: even though bios shows all 450 does not mean, it correctly transfers (or whatever) them to OS
[01:49] <NefariousTed> Sebsebseb:I'm trying to get ubuntu on there so I can make it connect to the internet, or at least see if i can like that.
[01:49] <Lostinspace_46> boss_mc well xfce Is more like naming keys rather than assigning them key codes
[01:50] <dameon> pelmen: yeah, but the cover has a power-kill, as in I need to reassemble the computer every time to test
[01:50] <Lostinspace_46> confusing
[01:50] <sebsebseb> !usb |  NefariousTed
[01:50] <akSeya> hi there.. i have an Acer Aspire 5920 notebook with Ubuntu 9.04 .. i have some problems with the Card Reader.. it just does not work
[01:50] <akSeya> http://pastebin.com/d53729fc
[01:50] <pelmen> dameon: you can usually lock that one with screwdriver
[01:50] <dameon> pelmen:  i have no os...
[01:50] <n2diy> Seronis:ok, but the users are on the same box, couldn't I just put a copy of the bookmark file somewhere where both users would have access to it?
[01:50] <Seronis> but that only updates once
[01:50] <trakcyia> lostinspace_46 modded xmodmap.dvorak   then in xterm xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.dvorak
[01:50] <pelmen> dameon: but install is OS
[01:50] <akSeya> it get's disabled on boot...
[01:50] <Seronis> xmarks maintains them current with each other
[01:51] <dameon> pelmen:  it'll take an awl with how long the pin is on the cover... and good point on the os....
[01:51] <pelmen> dameon: i meant bios may not correctly transfer ram sizes to upper level
[01:51] <NefariousTed> I've tried booting from a usb, but it never works out.
[01:51] <n2diy> ok, I'll check out xmarks, thanks.
[01:51] <sebsebseb> NefariousTed: no  CD and no USB,  and  no Internet,   and what no  local area network either?
[01:51] <boss_mc> Lostinspace_46: yeah, so it's a higher level operation, there could be things underneath stealing the key presses...
[01:51] <dameon> pelmen:  is there a way to make it transfer?
[01:52] <NefariousTed> I have a flash drive, and I have a usb port
[01:52] <NefariousTed> it's just for some reason, it refuses to boot from the usb
[01:52] <pelmen> dameon: i have no idea, that's why i told you to update bios..
[01:52] <sebsebseb> NefariousTed: well  unless you can get the USB working,  your  basically stuck with Windows,  I assume your computer currently runs Windows.   also is it really a netbook? with a small hard disk?
[01:52] <NefariousTed> No, it's a desk top, running windows 7.
[01:52] <boss_mc> NefariousTed: can you take out the HD, install ubuntu on it from another pc and then replace it (ubuntu will sort out drivers etc automatically)
[01:52] <pelmen> dameon: maybe your ram sticks have different speeds, even though it is not supposed to be a problem.. you neve know
[01:52] <cooper77z> hey pavvi, I am going to try the command out
[01:53] <Lostinspace_46> boss_mc like input.h?
[01:53] <boss_mc> input.h?
[01:53] <dameon> pelmen: i've tried updating it multiple times... and the different speeds could be a problem... hadn't thought of that
[01:53] <cooper77z> It didn't do anything, I think I did it wrong
[01:53] <NefariousTed> Boss_MC: how would I go about doing that?
[01:53] <NefariousTed> I gather the "take out hard drive, connect to other computer." bit
[01:53] <NefariousTed> oh, wait.
[01:54] <NefariousTed> nvm, it made sense all of a sudden.
[01:54] <boss_mc> NefariousTed: :)
[01:54] <pelmen> dameon: that's also why i told you to remove the first, original stick, as I guess that one is old
[01:54] <cooper77z> I typed"/whois i.e /whois Paavi2_0"
[01:54] <cooper77z> it did nothing
[01:54] <NefariousTed> I could to that, but it would be less immediate than I'm looking for.
[01:54] <Lostinspace_46> boss_mc usr/include/linux/input.h
[01:54] <bruce89> cooper77z: just the /whois Paavi2_0 would work
[01:54] <cooper77z> oh
[01:54] <cooper77z> oops
[01:55] <dameon> pelmen: yup.... I'll work on that.  I've got to go, but thanks for the help.
[01:55] <censushq> i \
[01:55] <Lostinspace_46> boss_mc that file has enough keycodes for 2 keyboards..lol
[01:55] <cooper77z> I don't think thats an actual 0
[01:55] <boss_mc> Lostinspace_46: no idea, could be anything...
[01:55] <cooper77z> still didn't work
[01:55] <bruce89> cooper77z: indeed
[01:55] <dc-dave> how do i load xp into virtualbox
[01:56] <Pici> !ot
[01:56] <dc-dave> it wont recognize the exe
[01:56] <arand> NefariousTed: and you've already checked the bios for enabling usb boot?
[01:56] <cooper77z> still didn't work
[01:56] <dc-dave> do i use an iso file
[01:56] <bruce89> cooper77z: use tab completion
[01:56] <cooper77z> how?
[01:56] <bruce89> !tab
[01:56] <dc-dave> i do not want to boot to xp, i want to run xp inside ubuntu with virtualbox
[01:57] <cooper77z> press tab, got nothing
[01:57] <b0nn> vmware
[01:57] <bruce89> dc-dave: You need the CD or ISO of the thing you want to install, and you just assign it to a virtual drive in VB
[01:57] <cooper77z> oh start with the first few letters, duh
[01:57] <arand> dc-dave: mount the iso in the vm, or use a physical xp cd and connecti it to the vm, then install xp as you would on a physical comp.
[01:57] <Lostinspace_46> boss_mc OK, gonna run and do come checking, that would explain the problem..never thought of stolen keys..thanks
[01:57] <dc-dave> ok
[01:57] <dc-dave> i have a usb cd rom drive
[01:57] <boss_mc> Lostinspace_46: good luck!
[01:57] <dc-dave> vb seems to revo
[01:58] <dc-dave> vb ose does not support usb
[01:58] <cooper77z> still isn't working
[01:58] <bruce89> cooper77z: heh, tab with 1337 possible completions would be tricky
[01:58] <Lostinspace_46> boss_mc Thanks!
[01:58] <cooper77z> but I am certain it's operatre error
[01:58] <trakcyia> ok so now all i have to do is spend a month or so getting used to this layout
[01:58] <dc-dave> but the usb cd rom drive is recognized by ubuntu
[01:58] <bruce89> cooper77z: which client is this?
[01:58] <cooper77z> I don't know #ubuntu?
[01:59] <cooper77z> I am a noob
[01:59] <jefinc> cooper77z: he means irc client
[01:59] <bruce89> pidgin, xchat?
[01:59] <cooper77z> really not pretending
[01:59] <trakcyia> and add the xmodmap line to rc.local
[01:59] <dc-dave> can i install xp to the same hard disk or do i n eed a new partition
[01:59] <uber_noober> dc-dave: you can install virtualbox in ubuntu then install win xp
[01:59] <jefinc> cooper77z: you're using irc to talk to us, what program did you open to do so
[01:59] <dc-dave> my ubuntu netbook (refurb) came with an XP Home Edition COA, which i assume is legit and i can activate as a license
[01:59] <cooper77z> x-chat-gnome
[02:00] <TiM> please Help me
[02:00] <dc-dave> whatha need tim
[02:00] <uber_noober> dc-dave: what you can do is use gparted to create a partition for ubuntu, then install ubuntu onto that partition
[02:00] <TiM> my sound doesn't work on firefox
[02:00] <bruce89> cooper77z: you need to click on the freenode line in the sidebar to get whois messages
[02:00] <jefinc> !ask TiM
[02:00] <jefinc> !ask | TiM
[02:00] <TiM> it was hard to set it up!
[02:00] <Black-Deimos> ?
[02:00] <dc-dave> tim my sound quit working after the upgrade
[02:00] <dc-dave> does it work in other apps
[02:01] <dc-dave> tim, your sound
[02:01] <dc-dave> tim, your sound/
[02:01] <jefinc> !enter
[02:01] <TiM> dc-dave:  now it is working for move and mp3
[02:01] <cooper77z> but sometimes that tells me nothing, no ip addresses, not real locations, no nada
[02:01] <TiM> only ff not
[02:01] <aboleth> hi
[02:01] <bruce89> cooper77z: some people hide that
[02:01] <cooper77z> ok
[02:01] <aboleth> i am using ubuntu 8.10
[02:01] <aboleth> sound works for some programs but not others
[02:01] <aboleth> i don't have pulseaudio in the default way
[02:01] <TiM> i'm using ubuntu 9.04
[02:02] <aboleth> since i tried to fix things before
[02:02] <jefinc> cooper77z: what is your requirement for using /whois that has made this such a dire issue?
[02:02] <TiM> it is my first time on linux
[02:02] <cooper77z> it isn't dire
[02:02] <cooper77z> it's not even an issue
[02:02] <TiM> i'm liking this OS
[02:02] <dc-dave> tim checkup this: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+question/4559

[02:03] <dio_> help
[02:04] <bruce89> sebsebseb: no
[02:04] <Edson`> Does ubuntu support DirectX
[02:04] <sebsebseb> bruce89: wrong channel I think
[02:04] <TiM> donne but not happend
[02:04] <sebsebseb> Edson`: Wine and  Virtualbox have some Directx support
[02:04] <Edson`> Thanks
[02:04] <bruce89> Edson`: onyl VB 3.0 however
[02:05] <Edson`> ah
[02:05] <bruce89> which is rather new
[02:05] <ctmjr> Edson`, no it uses glx
[02:05] <sebsebseb> Edson`: ,but   it depends on the game,  how well Wine or  Virtualbox 3.0 will work with it,  and  the game may not work at all
[02:05] <uber_noober> bruce89: lower versions of VB have DX support as well
[02:05] <booh> I heard about iscsi server on ubuntu.  Is it a better solution to share windows files than samba?  What about perfs?
[02:05] <bruce89> uber_noober: ah
[02:05] <dio_> i lost my hard drive won`t boot error 25 any help
[02:05] <Edson`> I tried Guild Wars, but it didn't work.
[02:05] <Edson`> tried*
[02:05] <dc-dave> tim: checkup this https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-tn/2009-April/003601.html
[02:05] <Jaredu> Edson`, i managed to get guild wars to work, what's the problem?
[02:06] <Jaredu> it was awhile back though
[02:06] <Edson`> It just stays at a black screen
[02:06] <Jaredu> ah
[02:06] <Jaredu> do you have compiz on?
[02:06] <sebsebseb> uber_noober   Edson`   Virtualbox 3.0 is  the one you need to try   those games in if doing the virtual machine,  older versions aren't wroth bothering with
[02:06] <TiM> wait a minute
[02:06] <Jaredu> Edson`, do you have compiz enabled?
[02:06] <sebsebseb> Edson`: I think  you can  do Guild Wars in Wine
[02:06] <Jaredu> sebsebseb, you can, ive done it :D
[02:06] <Edson`> it was a while ago, don't have it now, i was just checking
[02:06] <uber_noober> sebsebseb: question was if there was dx support in ubuntu
[02:07] <sebsebseb> uber_noober: right, but  Edson`  probably meant if there was in any of the programs that can be installed in Ubuntu
[02:07] <Jaredu> Edson`, it's definitely possible, I'd say if it hangs at a black screen just make sure compiz is off, i haven't tried it in awhile though but for me it was just a straight install in wine
[02:07] <bruce89> Edson`: TBH, I would and do keep windows around for that purpose
[02:07] <dc-dave> is there a keyboard shortcut to get terminal in a window instead of full screen?
[02:07] <gizmobay> Can someone tell me how to install kernel 2.26.29?
[02:08] <uber_noober> sebsebseb: you are correct, tho I run v2.x vbox and I have dx support
[02:08] <sebsebseb> uber_noober: also if  there was  built in Directx10 support in Ubuntu or  Wine  came with  Ubuntu,   bruce89  would be rather  unhappy indeed
[02:08] <dc-dave> gizmo: I tried it and it broke my wifi and sound
[02:08] <Edson`> bruce89: True
[02:08] <gizmobay> tried the package from kernel.ubuntu.com
[02:08] <uber_noober> sebsebseb: lol
[02:08] <dc-dave> gizmo: I don;t reccomend, lots of issues
[02:08] <jeanchauvin> Can anyone help me mount my Western Digital 350 GB My Passport? It was working until today and I've tried a few things, but can't get it to work.
[02:08] <gizmobay> ok thanks
[02:08] <sebsebseb> uber_noober: I  know that guy resaonbly well now on IRC :)
[02:09] <gizmobay> I'm having an issue with my computer freezing
[02:09] <jefinc> jeanchauvin: have you recently used it with windoze?
[02:09] <gizmobay> said 2.26.29 would fix
[02:09] <sebsebseb> uber_noober: so   what I said is rather true
[02:09] <uber_noober> sebsebseb: :P
[02:09] <TiM> dc-dave:  doesn't work
[02:09] <aboleth> Hello, I am using Ubuntu 8.10 and I have a problem with sound. Sound works in some programs and not in others. I already tried fixing older problems with sound, so PulseAudio and some other things aren't the same as default for me. I can get sound with desktop sounds, Firefox/Flash, and Banshee, but it does not work with any games. Does anyone know what i can do?
[02:09] <dc-dave> tim: did it ever work
[02:09] <uber_noober> aboleth: google esd and alsa
[02:09] <TiM> the movie on youtube makes crashes and audio doesn't work
[02:09] <TiM> dc-dave:  never!
[02:10] <dc-dave> you can try to use the SYNAPTIC to get "alsa"
[02:10] <jeanchauvin> I tried to let my boss plug it in on his computer, but it wouldn't mount on his, so I just pulled the cord out. I tried plugging it in on Ubuntu, but nothing happened, so I restarted it while it was attached, but still nothing.
[02:10] <TiM> dc-dave:  yesterday i turn sound on, but not firefox
[02:10] <dc-dave> same for aboleth
[02:10] <uber_noober> sebsebseb: do you know anything about cups?
[02:10] <dc-dave> use synaptic to get alsa, tim and aboleth
[02:10] <sebsebseb> !cups |  uber_noober
[02:10] <bruce89> uber_noober: don't they hold water/
[02:11] <TiM> dc-dave:  what is aboleth?
[02:11] <uber_noober> LOL
[02:11] <dc-dave> the kernel update i loaded tues broke my sound and wifi
[02:11] <dc-dave> to get everything back i had to modify the grub list go to back to the older kernel
[02:11] <Edson`> mIRC was weirded out on ubuntu the last time i tried
[02:11] <trakcyia> how do i add a line that runs a program to an already existing startup script?
[02:11] <bruce89> uber_noober: but seriously, what's the question?
[02:11] <uber_noober> sebsebseb: I know bro, but I have an unsupported printer...any way to extract or build a ppd file?
[02:12] <aboleth> TiM: aboleth is me
[02:12] <aboleth> should i follow this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32063
[02:12] <Edson`> like the windows were blinking
[02:12] <sebsebseb> uber_noober: not my area, but it looks like it could be bruce89 's
[02:12] <uber_noober> bruce89: how about it?
[02:12] <ctmjr> aboleth, i fixed my sound problems on 8.10 by going into preferences / sessions and unchecking anything with pulseaudio and choosing alsa in sound
[02:12] <nikolatesla> aboleth give it a try
[02:12] <TiM> aboleth:  I tought it was some kind of program.
[02:12] <H_M-Laptop> Hey, in Ubuntu 9.04, when you change the wallpaper - It has a transition. I was wondering, how do I disable that? (It's a bit too much for my computer, and it lags it really badly)
[02:12] <bruce89> uber_noober: or not after seeing the question
[02:12] <aboleth> ctmjr: i'll try that
[02:12] <bruce89> uber_noober: what is the printer?
[02:13] <dio_> any help about grub no loadin error 25
[02:13] <uber_noober> bruce89: have a panasonic mx789, unsupported by linux printing so no drivers
[02:13] <uber_noober> bruce89: its a multifunction network printer
[02:13] <nikolatesla> uber; try getting cups drivers
[02:13] <uber_noober> none available
[02:14] <uber_noober> a dude at #debian told me i have to build a driver (ppd)
[02:14] <bruce89> uber_noober: I see, that would be rather difficult
[02:14] <sebsebseb> uber_noober: virtual machine Wndows  if enough RAM, and do printing like that, and the version that supports USB of course  from http://www.virtualbox.org  and  for Linux hosts.  well this is worth a try, if you can't get the thing working natively,  and don't want to buy another  printer which is supported
[02:14] <TiM> oh God, the sound is making me angry!
[02:15] <rice> tyul
[02:15] <FrozenFire[work]> For some reason, the ms-sys package doesn't exist in Universe anymore.
[02:15] <uber_noober> sebsebseb: yeah, tried it with wine first, but it works w VB3
[02:15] <FrozenFire[work]> Is there a similar tool used to restore the Windows boot record?
[02:15] <uber_noober> bruce89: yeah, wont have much liuck I see
[02:15] <aboleth> ctmjr: i already have that done, i just checked
[02:15] <FrozenFire[work]> And on that note, is there a history of Wubi corrupting the MBR?
[02:15] <belorix> !backup
[02:15] <TiM> any can help me?
[02:15] <bruce89> uber_noober: not unless you feel like writing a driver
[02:15] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire[work]: things like that can happen with Wubi yep
[02:15] <TiM> any one
[02:16] <aboleth> should i just do this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32063
[02:16] <nomasteryoda> uber_noober, do you hook it up with a cat5 cable...? if so, then surely it emulates some form of printer you can choose in Linux
[02:16] <FrozenFire[work]> sebsebseb: This is arbitrary corruption. I've been running Wubi fine for months
[02:16] <uber_noober> bruce89: dude, I can write hello world, but that's about it...LOL
[02:16] <FrozenFire[work]> Suddenly, Windows gets a hal.dll corruption issue
[02:16] <nikolatesla> uber, try the kx driver http://www.linuxprinting.org/printer_list.cgi?make=Panasonic
[02:16] <TiM> the sound doesn't work on firefox, not only in flash but in all
[02:16] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire[work]: Wubi sucks, do a real proper partitioend install instead :)
[02:16] <FrozenFire[work]> sebsebseb: Unfortunately, that's not possible.
[02:16] <bruce89> uber_noober: heh
[02:16] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire[work]: why not?
[02:17] <ctmjr> aboleth, you might have to change the sound driver in the program itself if you already have pulse disabled
[02:17] <Dream-Stalker> whats the command to tidy up all the unrequired things?
[02:17] <aboleth> ctmjr: how would i do that?
[02:17] <FrozenFire[work]> sebsebseb: Because my boss' husband now thinks that Ubuntu corrupts Windows.
[02:17] <uber_noober> nomasteryoda: funny you mention it; I have it USB connected, Ubuntu recognizes a printer is attached and all but no driver to translate
[02:17] <junior_> hi i would like to know how to use wine
[02:17] <FrozenFire[work]> And he's fervently pro-Windows. He's unable to accept that Windows could possibly fail on its own.
[02:17] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire[work]: hmm at  certain computer ignorance
[02:17] <Brent_Roth> anyone available to help me with /usr/src/linux/arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S
[02:17] <Dream-Stalker> Frozenfire: aha, brilliant
[02:18] <junior_> can someone tell me how to use wine
[02:18] <nomasteryoda> uber_noober, but what if you did it with a cat5 cable and hooked to your router or hub?
[02:18] <belorix> ow do you cancel a intallation
[02:18] <ctmjr> aboleth, depends on the program more than likely it is under preferences or options
[02:18] <Dream-Stalker> click cancle?
[02:18] <Dream-Stalker> cancel*
[02:18] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire[work]: well if Windows goes bad enough,   your Wubi install will as well
[02:18] <belorix> you cant click "cancel" from CLI
[02:18] <nomasteryoda> !wine |junior_
[02:18] <uber_noober> nomasteryoda: same, CUPS recognizes a printer is available but no resolution on the printer
[02:18] <aboleth> ctmjr: what about pygame?
[02:18] <FrozenFire[work]> sebsebseb: Unfortunately, that won't be an issue. I've been told to wipe Wubi away.
[02:18] <uber_noober> nomasteryoda: that's y I am getting frustrated
[02:18] <Brent_Roth> belorix ... ctrl-c
[02:19] <FrozenFire[work]> So I'll be stuck using a poorly patched XP system now.
[02:19] <Brent_Roth> belorix, but that will simply kill the process
[02:19] <Dream-Stalker> frozenfire: erm, have you tried a virtual machine? or doesnt your work have the software?
[02:19] <Brent_Roth> belorix: you'll need to clean up afterwards
[02:19] <nikolatesla> is wine better or xp on virtualbox
[02:19] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire[work]: buy him a Mac,  at least  then he can blame Apple a well known company, if things go wrong,  :D   oh and you can put Ubuntu on it as well
[02:19] <chiques> Anyone else here use Seamonkey?
[02:19] <StrangeCharm> i want to change a network connection (current using dhcp) so that i enter all the settings manually. what do i need to edit to do this?
[02:19] <FrozenFire[work]> sebsebseb: I'm not the "tech guy," he is.
[02:19] <ctmjr> aboleth, i do not even know what pygame is
[02:19] <FrozenFire[work]> Though, my knowledge on the subject is far superior to his.
[02:19] <aboleth> its a module for python
[02:20] <Brent_Roth> nikolatesla: check wine's website and see the feedback for whatever game(s) you're wanting to play ... if the feedback is good, you're better off using wine ... a virtual machine is a large amount of overhead
[02:20] <aboleth> that lets you make games
[02:20] <MBD123> I'm looking at this thing that's telling me to install the package "ia32-libs", but I don't see it in the synaptic package manager and I can't get it using the terminal either. Please help me?
[02:20] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire[work]: well some people can't be converted, ever, or any time soon, and that's sadly the way  things are
[02:20] <nikolatesla> i want to run wordperfect
[02:20] <feyner> FrozenFire[work]: man ip
[02:20] <nikolatesla> the linux distros of wp dont seem to install
[02:20] <Brent_Roth> nikolatesla: virtual machines eat up a lot of resources, because you are now running a virtualized second OS ... so your hardware is dealing with those hardware requirements as well
[02:20] <hingepoint> can anyone tell me why my buttons at the bottom of my screen disappeared.  they are the buttons that are supposed to be there if you have that represent minimized windows.
[02:20] <FrozenFire[work]> I'm not expecting a conversion. I just wish I could use a working system for the development they expect.
[02:20] <FrozenFire[work]> I'm now expected to use Notepad for development.
[02:20] <funcky1> .join pidgin
[02:20] <sebsebseb> FrozenFire[work]: I know Windows as host, is not that great,  but  maybe do an Ubuntu virtual machine?
[02:21] <nikolatesla> brent do you have an arrow on the left, if so click it
[02:21] <VCoolio> hingepoint: I can tell how to get them back, will that do?
[02:21] <FrozenFire[work]> sebsebseb: I'll see about it. _Hopefully_ he'll allow it.
[02:21] <bruce89> FrozenFire[work]: You can get gedit for Windows BTW

[02:36] <ColbyIsColby> to funucky1, right ctrl+f in your virtual machine
[02:37] <labeau> ok
[02:37] <ColbyIsColby> and labeau, what version of Ubuntu are you trying to use?
[02:37] <labeau> 9.04
[02:37] <ColbyIsColby> Okay.
[02:37] <gnat_x> hi folks. i set up a jaunty install today, and i can't get it to connect to the wpa network. the interface works, as i can scan for available networks. i believe this very card has connected to this very network in a past install on a different machine. i'm connected right now via a debian machine to this wireless, so i know its working. i can't for the life of me figure out where to look next. the /network/interfaces settings are
[02:38] <nevyn> eggenz7: describe the problem
[02:38] <ColbyIsColby> First, have you tried reinstalling VirtualBox?
[02:38] <labeau> yes 32 times
[02:38] <ColbyIsColby> Really? Holy crap.
[02:38] <labeau> u see why i need help
[02:38] <nevyn> eggenz7: why can't you just mount one filesystem under the other simlink the folder ?
[02:38] <eggenz7> nevyn, probably because i dont know how lol....
[02:39] <ColbyIsColby> Hmm.
[02:39] <ibuclaw> labeau, did you recently upgrade from vbox-free to the vbox version on their website?
[02:39] <labeau> i said that too
[02:39] <ColbyIsColby> yeah.
[02:39] <ColbyIsColby> what ibuclaw said.
[02:39] <ColbyIsColby> :D
[02:40] <labeau> nope i tryed synapitc
[02:40] <labeau> and tryed the one from web site
[02:40] <ColbyIsColby> Hmm. I just did a search on your error, and
[02:41] <casey> what is the password for root or is it my accounf password
[02:41] <cabrey> !root | casey
[02:41] <brummbaer> casey: if you need long-term root access, you can 'sudo -i'
[02:41] <labeau> hmmmmmmm
[02:42] <labeau> is it bad?
[02:42] <ibuclaw> labeau, how many VM images do you have?
[02:42] <labeau> 1
[02:42] <ColbyIsColby> labeau, are you sure you have FULL admin privelledges.  I can only connect to it from another machine (Bar) if I first ping from Foo to Bar.
[02:43] <labeau> opps termal
[02:43] <ibuclaw> labeau, try the following (once I get Vbox installed/setup)
[02:43] <casey> i'm trying to fix this problem Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /opt/lampp/htdocs/xampp/cds.php on line 64
[02:44] <aboleth> someone told me that its probably sdl that has problems with sound
[02:44] <ColbyIsColby> look in your .xml file
[02:44] <aboleth> so does anyone know how i could get sound to work with sdl?
[02:44] <aboleth> it seems to work with everything else
[02:44] <ColbyIsColby> home/USERNAME/.VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml
[02:44] <labeau> ok i kind of new to this help me here where is it ?

[02:45] <ColbyIsColby> Then go to your username folder
[02:45] <casey> how do i fix it
[02:45] <ColbyIsColby> casey, reposting your problem won't help.. :)
[02:45] <ColbyIsColby> Hold on a sec.
[02:45] <labeau> ok
[02:45] <trollboy> I'm trying to install a driver package originally designed for Redhat based distros, luckily they supply source.  The ./configure file is looking for /usr/src/linux/include/linux/autoconf.h and not finding it, and neither am I.  Is there someplace else I should be looking?
[02:46] <mechtech> ok...why will links to myh .exe files not work?  I can launch the exe that the link points to, but the links themselves...no worky...any ideas?
[02:46] <mechtech> I'm using wine
[02:46] <brummbaer> casey: #apachefriends
[02:46] <ColbyIsColby> labeau.
[02:46] <ibuclaw> labeau, select  'View -> Show Hidden Files' in the toolbar then scroll down and find the folder:  .VirtualBox
[02:47] <ColbyIsColby> or that.
[02:47] <bmorris> Hey guys, I'm trying to install TweetDeck on AdobeAir with 9.04 but I'm hitting a problem. Air installed fine and I downloaded the tweetdeck.air file but when I double click on it nothing happens.  I've tried chmoding the tweetdeck file to 777 with no luck and restarting didn't help either.  Do you guys have any other ideas?
[02:47] <test34> mechtech: links created from linux or windows?
[02:47] <mechtech> test34: linux links
[02:48] <DarwinSurvivor> is anybody here familiar with ubuntu's firewall? I can't seem to ping my machine properly :(
[02:48] <Kazriko> trollboy, Just a guess, but you might need to install the headers package or the source package for your kernel, then maybe link it into the /usr/src folder.
[02:48] <labeau> ok foud it
[02:48] <RuneMaximus> trying tin install irssi and after i run ./configure i get the following error
[02:48] <renic> Darwin: i'm new to ubuntu, but I've played with ufw
[02:48] <test34> mechtech: could you paste the one line showing your link detail (eg: ls -la linkname)
[02:48] <RuneMaximus> checking for GLIB - version >= 2.6.0... no
[02:48] <RuneMaximus> *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why...
[02:48] <RuneMaximus> *** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
[02:48] <RuneMaximus> *** exact error that occured. This usually means GLIB is incorrectly installed.
[02:48] <RuneMaximus> *** If you don't have GLIB, you can get it from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/glib/
[02:48] <FloodBot1> RuneMaximus: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:48] <RuneMaximus> *** We recommend you get the latest stable GLIB 2 version.
[02:48] <bastidrazor> bmorris, the file needs to be executable?
[02:49] <ibuclaw> labeau, ensure that all instances of VirtualBox are closed. Then rename that folder from .VirtualBox to .VirtualBox.old
[02:49] <mechtech> test34: used gui to make link...right click>make link
[02:49] <bastidrazor> RuneMaximus, apt-get install irssi .. no need to compile it
[02:49] <renic> DarwinSurvivor: i'm new to ubuntu, but I've played with ufw (sorry to repeat myself, mistyped your name)
[02:49] <ColbyIsColby> that is exactly what i was going to say.
[02:49] <ColbyIsColby> @ibuclaw
[02:49] <bmorris> bastidrazor, isn't tha 777?
[02:49] <RuneMaximus> awesome thanks
[02:49] <DarwinSurvivor> renic: I'm using iptables and have used the same rules on 2 machines, however the problem only persists on the one running netbook remix, not the one running server edition (they are both 9.04)
[02:49] <SkiingPenguins> Where may i get help with installing ubuntu 8.10 with wubi.exe?
[02:49] <labeau> it said v 1.7 is that right
[02:49] <brummbaer> bmorris, chmod a+x file
[02:50] <bastidrazor> bmorris, yes, you are correct. is the file an actual installer?
[02:50] <RuneMaximus> am i correct in reading that irssi is better than konversation for irc?
[02:50] <akSeya> can anyone help me with a Ricoh Card Reader on Ubuntu 9.04?
[02:50] <bmorris> bastidrazor, it's an .air installer
[02:50] <test34> mechtech: do you get an error? I just tried it on my computer and it works
[02:50] <ibuclaw> labeau, it says:  .VirtualBox-1.7 ?
[02:50] <lightningseed> RuneMaximus: I'm using irssi right now....its a good console client
[02:50] <labeau> yes
[02:50] <casey> does root have a password or not?
[02:50] <bastidrazor> bmorris, run the command in terminal to see what errors it gives
[02:50] <mechtech> test34: no error...just nothing happens
[02:50] <bastidrazor> casey, no
[02:50] <ColbyIsColby> Casey, no it doesn't.
[02:50] <ibuclaw> labeau, yeah, that should be fine
[02:50] <casey> ok
[02:51] <mechtech> test34: I'll try a native linux app link...see if that works
[02:51] <bmorris> bastidrazor, cannot execute binary file.  I think it's supposed to be opened with air
[02:51] <labeau> ok renamed
[02:51] <bmorris> I'm not sure how to do that though...
[02:51] <lightningseed> RuneMaximus: couple it with screen and you'll never leave the terminal again
[02:52] <test34> mechtech: try to run the link from the command line maybe? you could type: "linkname <enter>" or "wine linkname <enter>"  it might give you a meaningful error message
[02:52] <bastidrazor> bmorris, what is the binary for air? use that binary to air file.air .. supposing 'air' is the binary for adobe air
[02:52] <DarwinSurvivor> is there a firewall that could be rejecting connections before iptables gets to filter it? (netbook edition, not server)
[02:52] <test34> mechtech: I did it with a windows .exe and it worked fine here
[02:52] <ibuclaw> labeau, now go into  'Applications -> Accessories -> VirtualBox OSE#
[02:52] <ibuclaw> in the Ubuntu applications menu.
[02:52] <mechtech> test34:  btw...how do I locate where my apps are located?
[02:52] <qwebirc8915> Hello
[02:53] <labeau> ok right on it work s
[02:53] <labeau>  thank you
[02:53] <ColbyIsColby> there you go!
[02:53] <ColbyIsColby> even though ibuclaw did all the work.
[02:53] <ibuclaw> labeau, look at the nautilus home folder
[02:53] <bruce89> mechtech: which programnam
[02:53] <labeau> hey thanks alot
[02:53] <ibuclaw> labeau, a new directory should be created
[02:53] <qwebirc8915> I am getting a command not found when I try to run "sudo do-release-upgrade" does anyone know why that may be?
[02:53] <bruce89> mechtech: as in the command
[02:53] <test34> mechtech: if you switch to the folder where your link is, you can type: "ls -la" and it will show you where the link points ot
[02:53] <test34> to
[02:54] <labeau> yep theres a new one
[02:54] <bmorris> bastidrazor, air isn't known.  Any ideas on how I could find out what the binary actually is
[02:54] <test34> e.g.: lrwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev    106 2009-07-23 21:52 Link to uninstall.exe -> /media/windows/utils/internet/xchat/uninstall.exe
[02:54] <bmorris> ohhhh wait there is something in accessories
[02:54] <labeau> thank agian i going to play now :)
[02:54] <ColbyIsColby> Have a good day, labeau! Come back if you have any other questions.
[02:54] <ibuclaw> labeau, just go into .VirtualBox-1.7.old , then highlight the 'HardDisks' folder
[02:55] <labeau> great
[02:55] <ibuclaw> then Cut it
[02:55] <bmorris> It looks like that worked!  Thank you very much for your help bastidrazor
[02:55] <ColbyIsColby> oh, yeah, restore your hard disks.
[02:55] <bastidrazor> bmorris, good lcuk
[02:55] <ibuclaw> labeau, move to the new .VirtualBox directory and paste
[02:55] <evanescent> how can I find the xord.conf file X is using in ubuntu? /etc/X11/xorg.conf is empty
[02:55] <labeau> oh ok  yes need that
[02:55] <akSeya> it just do not recognizes my Memory stick :(
[02:55] <ibuclaw> then you can import the hard disk into VirtualBox via  'File -> Virtual Machine Manager'
[02:56] <bruce89> evanescent: it usually is nowadays, X doesn't need a xorg.conf usually
[02:56] <labeau> can i delete the old one ?
[02:56] <evanescent> I want to change the acceleration method being used for my graphics card
[02:56] <evanescent> i have an intel integrated graphics card
[02:56] <ibuclaw> labeau, once you've moved over the Hard Disk image, it should all be good to go :)
[02:56] <evanescent> i'm trying to follow: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html
[02:57] <ColbyIsColby> hey ibuclaw, would you happen to know anything about Xubuntu, or would I need to go to the Xubuntu irc channel.
[02:57] <labeau> thanks have good day nite mor .... labeau off
[02:57] <ibuclaw> ColbyIsColby, it's minimal, but I know my way around the system =)
[02:57] <ibuclaw> bye labeau
[02:57] <ColbyIsColby> well, i just need your opinion.
[02:57] <bastidrazor> RuneMaximus, ask in channel please.. either you are not using sudo apt-get or yo uhave more than one instance of a package manager open
[02:57] <evanescent> I really just want to enable 'Option “AccelMethod” “UXA”'
[02:57] <bluntman225> hey guys, how can i set up my wireless network to accept dhcp
[02:58] <bruce89> evanescent: AFAIK you need to create the appropriate section in the empty file
[02:58] <bluntman225> or how do I edit my wireless settings...I cant get my wireless to work
[02:58] <bastidrazor> RuneMaximus, do sudo apt-get install irssi
[02:58] <ColbyIsColby> i have an old iMac DV with a 500MHz (G3) PPC Processor, and 128MB RAM.
[02:58] <renic> DarwinSurvivor: is network manager running on the the netbook?
[02:58] <DarwinSurvivor> renic: yes
[02:58] <ColbyIsColby> would I be fine installing Xubuntu, or should I try Debian.
[02:58] <evanescent> I tried that and ubuntu starts into a low graphics mode
[02:59] <RuneMaximus> thank bastidrazor that seems to be working
[02:59] <evanescent> the tutorial is supposedly confirmed to work for my exact graphics card so I think there's something about just adding the information to the xorg.conf file thats causing problems
[02:59] <ibuclaw> ColbyIsColby, you should be fine ... Ubuntu has a PPC version in ports
[02:59] <renic> DarwinSurvivor: If i had to guess (which I'm doing), i would disable it and setup networking manually... network manager already screwed me today, so i'm prejudice... ;D
[02:59] <ColbyIsColby> Thanks.
[03:00] <ibuclaw> ColbyIsColby, http://ports.ubuntu.com
[03:00] <StrangeCharm> after changing /etc/network/interfaces , how to i make the interface load the changes?
[03:00] <qwebirc8915> I am trying to follow: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades but when I get to the end and run "sudo do-release-upgrade" it says command not found can anyone help with this
[03:00] <ColbyIsColby> I have the alternate install CD for 9.04 PPC and I have been debating to install it.
[03:00] <ColbyIsColby> because reinstalling OS X because Xubuntu is too slow is too much of a pain.
[03:00] <DarwinSurvivor> renic: I would, but until the machine is ready for production, it needs to be used on many wireless networks (making command line setup quite annoying)
[03:00] <Guest91381> Hey, can anyone help me set up a terminal button involving xwinwrap? I have a neat setup for it but I can't seem to make a launcher button- it works fine in a normal terminal.
[03:01] <Jaredu> Hey, can anyone help me set up a terminal button involving xwinwrap? I have a neat setup for it but I can't seem to make a launcher button- it works fine in a normal terminal.
[03:01] <Jaredu> sorry about the guest name thing
[03:01] <ColbyIsColby> /msg nickserv
[03:01] <ColbyIsColby> whoops.
[03:01] <renic> DarwinSurvivor: my idea was to use that method for testing if network manager is the problem.. If it is, there's probably a way to write a solution in a shell script.
[03:01] <ibuclaw> ColbyIsColby, the mini.iso is here: http://ports.ubuntu.com/dists/jaunty/main/installer-powerpc/current/images/powerpc/netboot/mini.iso
[03:01] <Jaredu> anyone have any ideas?
[03:01] <Lo_Pan> wtf
[03:01] <renic> DarwinSurvivor: or patch network manager if you have a coder handy.
[03:01] <sebsebseb> !langauge |  Lo_Pan
[03:02] <ibuclaw> ColbyIsColby, the minimal boot installer should give you /every/ option to choose from on installation (including the choice to load aptitude and manually select packages).
[03:02] <bruce89> surely not
[03:02] <ColbyIsColby> Aptitude? Sorry, I am kind of new to this..
[03:02] <ibuclaw> so you can tailor what packages / tasks you want installed before you boot the machine.
[03:02] <Jaredu> Hey, can anyone help me set up a terminal button involving xwinwrap? I have a neat setup for it but I can't seem to make a launcher button- it works fine in a normal terminal.
[03:02] <ColbyIsColby> oh okay.
[03:02] <ibuclaw> ColbyIsColby, aptitude is a frontend to apt-get
[03:02] <DarwinSurvivor> renic: what did you use instead of network manager (cli, wicd, etc)?
[03:03] <ibuclaw> ColbyIsColby, are you booted into Ubuntu at the moment ?
[03:03] <ColbyIsColby> Uhhm, no. I am on the machine I want to install Xubuntu on.
[03:03] <ibuclaw> ahh
[03:03] <Mamoncete> Hi all
[03:03] <DarwinSurvivor> Jaredu: did you check the "run in terminal" box in the launcher preferences?
[03:03] <nivekc1> can anyone please help me.. i am wanting to watch a movie on my PC but for some reason i put in the disc and it doesnt work.. it is a dvd psych season 3 i just bought it and it works in my dvd player
[03:03] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, where would that be? I haven't worked with this in awhile and the last time i tried was in 8.10, one sec
[03:04] <ColbyIsColby> What do you recomend me making sure I install?
[03:04] <Mamoncete> I want to buy a server machine, but I saw that raid HD and controllers are expensive. Do I need any special hardware/HDs in order to use RAID (software) in Ubuntu Server?
[03:04] <mechtech> getting closer...at first, I COULDN'T EVEN CD TO THE CORRECT DIRECTORY BECAUSE i HAD SPACES IN THE NAME OF THE DIR
[03:04] <mechtech> sorry for yelling
[03:04] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, for some reason that's not working... hmm
[03:04] <mechtech> caps lock
[03:04] <DarwinSurvivor> Jaredu: right-click the launcher, then select "Properties".  Change "Type" to "Application In Terminal"
[03:04] <Mamoncete> Or can I just go with 4 SATA HD drives and Ubuntu server (Linux) through software cna emulate a RAID controller?
[03:04] <bruce89> ColbyIsColby: it depends what you want I suppose
[03:05] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, the command i'm running is this: xwinwrap -ni -o 0.6 -fs -s -st -sp -b -nf -- mplayer -wid WID -quiet ~/Desktop/testlegs.avi -loop 0 -nosound -fs
[03:05] <evanescent> is there some way I can make X write its config to xorg.conf so i can modify it
[03:05] <mechtech> but now I have an error message: wine: could not load L"C:\\windows\\system32\\link.exe": Module not found
[03:05] <ColbyIsColby> Well, all I really need is a word processor (I guess I would use AbIWord), a desktop (duh), and anything else that's basic.
[03:05] <ColbyIsColby> This machine is kind of for school use.
[03:05] <DarwinSurvivor> Jaredu: what happens when you click the launcher after changing the type?
[03:05] <ColbyIsColby> and basic internet.
[03:05] <ibuclaw> Mamoncete, with RAID, all you need to ensure is that all disks spin at the same speed.
[03:06] <bruce89> ColbyIsColby: I was thinking more along the lines of stability
[03:06] <ibuclaw> Mamoncete, the rest can be done using software RAID
[03:06] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, it does nothing.. when i open a terminal and paste in the exact same command it works fine
[03:06] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, ive also tried putting it in startup and it does nothing =\
[03:06] <isaac_> Is there a program that will handle four or five CD burners at once to make multiple copies?
[03:06] <isaac_> Objective is to make copies of an audio cd.
[03:07] <test34> mechtech: did you mount your windows partition at the same mount point as when your created the link ?
[03:07] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, i did just install gnome-do if that would change anything
[03:07] <Mamoncete> ibuclaw, so if the 4 SATA HD drives that I purchase are the same, I assume that all of them will spin at the same speed, won't them?
[03:07] <DarwinSurvivor> at the end of the command, add " && sleep 10", that should cause the window to stay open for 10 seconds after the command fails, allowing you to debug it
[03:07] <DarwinSurvivor> Jaredu: I use gnome-do myself and haven't had it mess anything up
[03:07] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, kk one second
[03:07] <DarwinSurvivor> renic: what connection manager do you use?
[03:08] <renic> DarwinSurvivor: I read this http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-set-a-static-ip-address-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html
[03:08] <mechtech> test34: I made the link inside the windows partition...if that's what you mean
[03:08] <ibuclaw> Mamoncete, one would assume so. OEM manufacturers are usually more trustworthy though, but that is just my opinion. ;)
[03:08] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, adding && sleep 10 does nothing, it opens a terminal breifly then crashes it
[03:08] <DarwinSurvivor> that is VERY strange...
[03:08] <Jaredu> indeed...
[03:08] <DarwinSurvivor> Jaredu: that is VERY strange...
[03:09] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, it worked fine in 8.10 or 8.04 im not sure what's changed :\
[03:09] <renic> DarwinSurvivor: haven't tested it yet though... so beware if you don't have physical access
[03:09] <Mamoncete> ibuclaw, I can get 4 SATA 1Tera Maxtor HDs for the half of price of 1 RAID HAD 1 Tera, that is why I am asking, and also I have to pay for the RAID controller
[03:10] <DarwinSurvivor> renic: unfortunately all my connections so far are wireless :( I guess I'll have to try out wicd. I used to use it, but didn't like the interface. But if it *works* then that's what I'll use
[03:10] <isaac_> Is there a program that will handle four or five CD burners at once to make multiple copies?
[03:10] <isaac_> Objective is to make copies of an audio cd.
[03:11] <DarwinSurvivor> isaac_: you could always just run 4 or 5 burning processes in parallel (start the program multiple times)
[03:11] <SkiingPenguins> Whenever i try to install ubuntu 8.10 onto my windows me computer, using wubi, the installer asks to restart. the computer restarts and nothing has changed. wubi does not start up. can anyone help me with this?
[03:11] <adam7> DarwinSurvivor: there is a new interface in wicd 1.6, you can grab the deb from http://downloads.wicd.net/pkgs/latest
[03:11] <evanescent> is there a graphical frontend for changing xorg.conf in ubuntu 9.04
[03:11] <renic> DarwinSurvivor: should probably confirm that the problem is actually with network manager before abandoning it.
[03:11] <evanescent> i seem to recall one in 7.x
[03:11] <isaac_> DarwinSurvivor how many times can you do that before the computer locks up?
[03:12] <test34> jmquebec
[03:12] <ibuclaw> Mamoncete, yes. You can buy 4 SATA drives, (ie: 4x 250GB, SATA, 3.5-inch, 7.2K RPM Hard Drive)
[03:12] <DarwinSurvivor> adam7: I'm assuming the "xUbuntu_9.04" will work for all ubuntu derivatives? (ubuntu/kubuntu/ubuntu netbook remix/etc)?
[03:13] <adam7> DarwinSurvivor: yup
[03:13] <ibuclaw> Mamoncete, and a RAID controller is essential
[03:13] <ibuclaw> it's usually a RAID controller card, ie: PCIe
[03:13] <Mamoncete> ibuclaw, ahhhhh, so I thought I could avoid the RAID controller and use the Linux software one
[03:13] <DarwinSurvivor> isaac_: as long as you don't start a second session for drive Foo before the previous ends, you should be fine
[03:13] <Mamoncete> ibuclaw, that was my question
[03:14] <gaston9> Hola alguien me puede ayudar?
[03:14] <DarwinSurvivor> adam7: what changes did they make to the interface? (google image search shows only old screenshots)
[03:14] <Jaredu> argh... why does it kill term.. >.
[03:14] <gaston9> alguien habla en español?
[03:14] <syntax> is there a way to get the pidgin to blink in the windows tab at the bottom when someone sends you a message..im useing ubuntu os btw
[03:14] <Pici> gaston9: #ubuntu-es
[03:14] <sebsebseb> !es |  gaston9
[03:15] <gaston9> gracias!! tanks
[03:16] <DarwinSurvivor> adam7: do you know if they ever got VPN's working properly in wicd yet?
[03:16] <BlackBerry> When well Ubuntu 10.04 beta be released??
[03:16] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, do you know of a way to just launch a terminal and then run a command?
[03:16] <sebsebseb> BlackBerry: next year some time
[03:17] <sebsebseb> BlackBerry: as for 9.10 not that long now
[03:17] <sebsebseb> !karmic |  BlackBerry
[03:17] <BlackBerry> thanks,SebSebSeb you ROCK
[03:17] <DarwinSurvivor> Jaredu: try "bash <command>" in the launcher
[03:17] <sebsebseb> BlackBerry: np
[03:17] <bruce89> BlackBerry: April
[03:18] <BlackBerry> How con i get koala now?
[03:18] <sebsebseb> BlackBerry: you shoudn't really since the bugs
[03:18] <SkiingPenguins> Whenever i try to install ubuntu 8.10 onto my windows me computer, using wubi, the installer asks to restart. the computer restarts and nothing has changed. wubi does not do anything after the restart. can anyone help me with this?
[03:18] <BlackBerry> I am a compuratic just tell me.
[03:18] <sebsebseb> SkiingPenguins: Wubi is bad,  and even worse  when it's inside ME I guess
[03:19] <sebsebseb> BlackBerry: ask in that channal
[03:19] <sebsebseb> SkiingPenguins: better to do a proper partitioned install, also Windows ME is no longer supported by Microsoft, and that's been a few years already
[03:19] <BlackBerry> TELL ME where to get ubuntu 10.04 beta!!!!!!
[03:19] <stovicek> BlackBerry: there is none
[03:19] <sebsebseb> BlackBerry: you can't it does not exist
[03:19] <evanescent> is it possible for me to override just one setting using the xorg.conf file since X is generating the config automatically?
[03:20] <BlackBerry> Oh i'm stupid
[03:20] <Jaredu> DarwinSurvivor, no luck :(
[03:20] <DarwinSurvivor> try it from command line (with the bash part in there) and see if the bash sessions reports a crash of any kind
[03:20] <BlackBerry> Where can I get the Koala 9.10 beta download?
[03:20] <sebsebseb> SkiingPenguins: in fact most of your Windows ME apps you can probably get working in Wine
[03:20] <sebsebseb> !karmic |  BlackBerry
[03:20] <DarwinSurvivor> BlackBerry: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/alpha2
[03:20] <SkiingPenguins> i want to get rid of the windows me, sebsebseb.
[03:21] <sebsebseb> BlackBerry: karmic is offtopic here go to #ubuntu+1  also alpha3 is out soon I heard
[03:21] <BlackBerry> DarwinSurviver you ROCK!
[03:21] <sebsebseb> SkiingPenguins: well in that case don't use Wubi, because that puts  Ubuntu inside Windows
[03:21] <nivekc1> how can i update mplayer to the newest version?
[03:21] <test34> SkiingPenguins: windows ME ?? its about time you get rid of it
[03:21] <sebsebseb> test34: he just said he wanted to
[03:21] <adam7> DarwinSurvivor: VPNs don't work in wicd yet
[03:22] <BlackBerry> By!
[03:22] <test34> sebsebseb: stop repeating yourself
[03:22] <adam7> DarwinSurvivor: and the changes were mostly just to unclutter the interface so it was easier to use
[03:22] <sebsebseb> test34: what are you refering to?
[03:22] <test34> sebsebseb: nickname
[03:22] <DarwinSurvivor> BlackBerry: I just google for "ubuntu karmic" and clicked the second link...
[03:22] <sebsebseb> test34: this has been my  knickname since 2006 or so :)
[03:22] <ctmjr> evanescent, you can try to comment out a line in xorg.conf do not really understand what you are asking
[03:23] <DarwinSurvivor> adam7: ok, thanks.
[03:23] <evanescent> xorg.conf is empty, ctmjr
[03:23] <sebsebseb> test34: and it even has a little story behind it, which is of course off topic in here
[03:23] <SkiingPenguins> sebsebseb: is there a way to install ubuntu without using a disc? my disc drive does not like to boot from my cdrom drives. i do not think my bios can boot off of a flash drive.
[03:23] <sebsebseb> !install |  SkiingPenguins
[03:23] <sebsebseb> !netboot
[03:23] <evanescent> I need to edit part of the device section
[03:23] <test34> sebsebseb: at least Im pretty sure it is available everywhere
[03:24] <evanescent> to switch the acceleration my card is using from EXA to UXA
[03:24] <evanescent> but i can't, because there is no xorg.conf file
[03:24] <evanescent> its all dynamically made
[03:24] <sebsebseb> test34: what is?
[03:24] <test34> sebsebseb: nevermind..
[03:24] <sebsebseb> test34: answer :)
[03:24] <evanescent> Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"
[03:24] <ctmjr> evanescent, what distro are you using?
[03:24] <evanescent> that's all I want to add.
[03:24] <evanescent> Ubuntu 9.04
[03:25] <sebsebseb> test34:   what is available everywhere?
[03:25] <evanescent> I'm trying to follow this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/intel-graphics-performance-guide-for-ubuntu-904-jaunty-users.html
[03:25] <nivekc1> isnt there some sort of update command i can use to update software?
[03:25] <test34> sebsebseb: nickname
[03:25] <nivekc1> i just want to get the latest version of mplayer
[03:25] <gnat_x> oh man. this wireless issue i'm having is driving me nuts. well the issue i'm having with my brother's machine. can't get wpa supplicant to work with the network.
[03:26] <sebsebseb> test34: oh you think people can call themselves  nickname on here?
[03:26] <sebsebseb> !intel |  evanescent
[03:26] <evanescent> actually I may have figured it out
[03:26] <evanescent> thanks
[03:26] <test34> sebsebseb: because it sucks so much ;) you can get it on gmail, twitter, facebook, etc...
[03:26] <sebsebseb> evanescent: np
[03:26] <gnat_x> i'm connected to it via my debian lappy, but the machine right next to it can't connect.
[03:27] <sebsebseb> test34: it's already in use on here apparantly
[03:27] <evanescent> is itn ormal for the xorg-server package to be missing?
[03:27] <masterkoppa> gnat_x: what os does that machine use?
[03:27] <evanescent> *normal
[03:27] <test34> sebsebseb: troll
[03:27] <evanescent> another version of the tutorial i found says to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg-xserver
[03:27] <gnat_x> masterkoppa: the one that's not working is using a fresh jaunty install
[03:27] <evanescent> which returns an error Package `xorg-xserver' is not installed and no info is available.
[03:27] <gnat_x> masterkoppa: the one that is working runs debian lenny.
[03:27] <sebsebseb> test34: no I think that's what your  trying to do here,   or  just  talk   silly offtopic with someone for a bit,  since your bored or something
[03:27] <masterkoppa> gnat_x: can the machine connect to any other AP?
[03:28] <DarwinSurvivor> adam7: dude! they added a curses interface to wicd?!!
[03:28] <masterkoppa> gnat_x: Just to confirm that its a WPA Problem
[03:28] <gnat_x> masterkoppa: there's none other around to test with sadly.
[03:28] <masterkoppa> Can you change the security on the router?
[03:28] <ctmjr> evanescent, there should be a default xorg.conf but if not you can generate one sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:28] <test34> sebsebseb: where do you get your salvia from ?
[03:29] <SkiingPenguins> which ubuntu distribution do you recommend for a computer that has 128 Mb RAM and 10 Gb free hard drive space?
[03:29] <gnat_x> i'll see if i can find the pass. this is my folks house so who knows....
[03:29] <evanescent> I'm trying that ctmjr it says xserver-org isnt there, even though it is when I try to install wtih apt
[03:29] <sebsebseb> !ot |  test34
[03:29] <DarwinSurvivor> SkiingPenguins: do you want a gui?
[03:29] <SkiingPenguins> yes
[03:29] <masterkoppa> gnat_x: If your unable to get it try making a AD-HOC network with your bedian machine
[03:29] <masterkoppa> debian*
[03:30] <test34> thanks sebsebseb, i've been looking for that channel for a loong time
[03:30] <DarwinSurvivor> SkiingPenguins: then xubuntu (with xfce) is probably the only one that will work at all on that hardware (mainly because of the ram, the HD space is fine for most of them)
[03:30] <sebsebseb> test34: what so you can troll in it?
[03:30] <SkiingPenguins> thanks, DarwinSurvivor
[03:31] <DarwinSurvivor> SkiingPenguins: no problem
[03:31] <test34> sebsebseb: yes
[03:31] <sebsebseb> !ops  |  test34
[03:31] <bruce89> sebsebseb: "Look for the best in people."
[03:32] <sebsebseb> !troll |   test34
[03:32] <GSF1200S> anyone here with dual monitors and gnome?
[03:32] <evanescent> fixed it
[03:32] <evanescent> thanks
[03:32] <test34> sebsebseb: keep trolling... but stop using the bot
[03:32] <ctmjr> evanescent, how did you fix it?
[03:33] <evanescent> the tutorial was wrong.
[03:33] <evanescent> xorg-server vs xserver-org
[03:33] <evanescent> didnt notice, i was pasting of course.
[03:33] <llohan> hello, my 9.04 got frozen during boot, in recovery mode it stops at this "input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as ..." http://imagebin.org/56955
[03:33] <llohan> anyone has an idea?
[03:33] <renic> evanescent vs xfree86
[03:33] <evanescent> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1130582 is where it is
[03:33] <renic> ;D
[03:33] <evanescent> just a typo
[03:33] <biagidp> I just did an apt-get upgrade in kubuntu 9.04 and sound stopped working, anyone know what's going on?
[03:33] <GSF1200S> llohan- can you switch to a different v/c and login
[03:34] <sebsebseb> test34: that was you, and for some reason I took some of your troll bait
[03:34] <crankharder> if I downloaded and installed the nvidia drivers from their website -- how do I remove them?
[03:34] <masterkoppa> llohan: what happened before it froze
[03:34] <llohan> GSF1200S: no, keyboard leads keep flashing.
[03:34] <moymoy> crankharder: have you tried running the binary again? it might give an option of uninstalling
[03:34] <GSF1200S> kernel panic
[03:34] <GSF1200S> hmm
[03:34] <llohan> masterkoppa: nothing, a few second after boot.
[03:34] <llohan> 2.4.27 can boot fine though.
[03:34] <ctmjr> crankharder, there is an uninstall script that comes with it
[03:35] <llohan> 2.6.27 sorry.
[03:35] <masterkoppa> llohan: did you upgrade the kernel or make any changes before this happened?
[03:35] <GSF1200S> oooohhh crap llohan- another guy had the same problem yesterday
[03:35] <llohan> but with 2.6.27 i always have this "unexpected IRQ trap at vector 9b" in dmesg..
[03:35] <DarwinSurvivor> adam7, renic: thank you very much for recommending wicd. That curses interface is amazing and exactly what I have been looking for regarding something else. I am definitely dropping networkmanager again!
[03:36] <DarwinSurvivor> renic: I still have to check if the pinging problem persists
[03:36] <masterkoppa> llohan: whats the other kernel version, the one that frezes
[03:36] <test34> sebsebseb: ok I'll take the blame this time.. but don't do it again.
[03:36] <llohan> masterkoppa: 2.6.28-13
[03:37] <lobf> Hey guys can you tell me how to set up a wireless connection on ubuntu? It doesn't seem to auto recognize anything
[03:37] <masterkoppa> llohan: can you boot in the same kernel via recovery mode?
[03:37] <lobf> ?
[03:37] <llohan> masterkoppa: in recovery mode it will crash like this http://imagebin.org/56955
[03:37] <renic> DarwinSurvivor: hope it clears up the problem
[03:39] <rodolfo> Does anyone know why went i boot up my laptop I have to keep pressing the keyboard to make it boot ubuntu. If i dont press it it will not do anything
[03:39] <masterkoppa> llohan: whats your hardware like (video and processor)
[03:39] <rodolfo> Its nvidia
[03:39] <rodolfo> let me check the model
[03:40] <masterkoppa> rodolfo: this is due to grub configuration search on the forums for info on how to change these settings
[03:40] <SkiingPenguins> I made my grub say it is owned by me :)

[03:43] <DarwinSurvivor> renic: bwahaha, IT WORKS! thank you very very much. I spent a half-hour on the #iptables channel debugging my firewall yesterday, guess it was just NetworkManager being stupid!
[03:43] <Dimitree> How to install Autopoint ?
[03:43] <masterkoppa> llohan: you told me that you could boot to the machine on another kernel version right?
[03:44] <llohan> masterkoppa: yes, with 2.6.27 but it has another problem.
[03:44] <bruce89> fine, be that way
[03:44] <masterkoppa> llohan: what type of problem?
[03:44] <HayateYagami> Hey.
[03:44] <HayateYagami> Is 60 MB enough for /tmp?
[03:44] <llohan> masterkoppa: in boot screen and dmesg got flood with this unexpected IRQ trap at vector 9b
[03:45] <masterkoppa> llohan: but you can atleast boot to a vc right?
[03:45] <test34> mechtech: try this on the command line:  ln -s /media/windows/utils/myfile.exe ~/Desktop/myfile
[03:45] <llohan> masterkoppa: what is vc?
[03:45] <alex87>  /join #mysql

[03:46]  * doc_brown messed up...
[03:46] <qos> hey guys ... can i use a karmic kernel still in jaunty?
[03:46] <masterkoppa> i would recomend you try to reinstall the kernel, because I suspect there is a problem with one of the modules when the update occured.
[03:46] <dtchen> qos: yes, with caveats
[03:47] <doc_brown> how do you restore a "panel" that you may have deleted?  When I minimize things, they disappear
[03:47] <llohan> by using --reinstall ?
[03:47] <bastidrazor> !panels | doc_brown
[03:47] <doc_brown> !moron doc_brown =(
[03:48] <qos> dtchen, what in special? currently i am using a mainline kernel <IP_ADDRESS> ... wlan is much more stable here :)
[03:48] <bastidrazor> doc_brown, or you could add the panel back and manually add the window selector
[03:48] <mechtech> test34: I executed the command you gave me...no success
[03:48] <qos> dtchen, but i my nvidia restricted drivers module doesn't work that way
[03:48] <masterkoppa> llohan: yes
[03:48] <mechtech> test34: still cannot launch link
[03:48] <dft> how can I check if which ttys my serial port was assigned to?
[03:48] <llohan> masterkoppa: thanks, I'm trying that.
[03:48] <test34> mechtech: did you adapt it to your system ?
[03:48] <Romualda> holas
[03:49] <HayateYagami> !luser ubottu
[03:49] <qos> dtchen, so the idea was it to use a karmic kernel in the hope of working nvidia drivers and stable wlan
[03:49] <mechtech> test34: LOL...no...duh
[03:49] <dtchen> qos: you just need the hacks for i2c for the Nvidia source
[03:49] <test34> mechtech: where is your .exe located ?
[03:49] <Romualda> ...
[03:49] <doc_brown> i removed that panel because it actually covers most of my wbar at the lower part of the screen.  can i adjust this?
[03:49] <johnnyfavorite> hi
[03:49] <qos> dtchen, i2c? a bit more explaining please ;)
[03:49] <masterkoppa> llohan: If that then doesn't work I would do a downgrade to the last working version for your system. Then make a post in the kernel part of the forums since youll probably get better support there.
[03:50] <johnnyfavorite> aIm a newbe to ubuntu studio
[03:50] <dtchen> qos: are you saying your Nvidia drivers don't compile with mainline <IP_ADDRESS>?
[03:50] <llohan> masterkoppa: ok, thank you very much.
[03:50] <masterkoppa> llohan: np, glad to be of some help
[03:50] <bastidrazor> doc_brown, you can .. right click it >properties>general tab then uncheck expand
[03:50] <llohan> i'm going to reboot once and will be back if that work, or i'll jet to my office if it doesn't, good bye.
[03:51] <mechtech> test34: still no luck
[03:51] <qos> dtchen, i didn't try to compile them on my own. i installed the new mainline kernel and at startup ubuntu was complaining about "unable to load nvidia restricted module"
[03:51] <test34> mechtech: where is your .exe located ?
[03:51] <dtchen> qos: right, that's due to api changes
[03:51] <doc_brown> bastidrazor, i have something called wbar.  its similar to osx "dock"  at the lower portion of the screen.  my "panel" overlaps it and sits on top of it
[03:52] <dtchen> qos: you need a newer nvidia source (e.g., from karmic)
[03:52] <doc_brown> wbar looks and works great without the panel, but minimized programs disappear
[03:52] <doc_brown> !wbar
[03:52] <mechtech> test34:  /home/leiza/.wine/dosdevices/c:/PuttPutt
[03:52] <bastidrazor> doc_brown, you'll either have to move the panel to the left or right vertical of the screen or get rid of the bottom panel. or .. move it up to the top under the top bar
[03:52] <test34> mechtech: that doesnt sound right
[03:53] <qos> dtchen, so. can i simply install the nvidia-glx packages and the kernel from karmic?
[03:53] <Bulochnichestvo> Is there exist a plugin that encapsulates flash player plugin and displays button "GO" that enables or disables working of entire flash process?
[03:53] <mechtech> test34:  with a link to the executable <Autozoo,exe> on the desktop
[03:53] <test34> mechtech: it should be located somewhere in /media/
[03:53] <bastidrazor> doc_brown, that dock .. doesn't it have active/minimized applications showing? something like cairo-dock does.
