[03:50] <wizzo50> Hi, how do you run a *.tar.bz2 file in the terminal
[03:50] <Dr_Masters> does anyone know how to do a test in the terminal to see if a machine is connected to the internet?
[03:50] <shane2peru> wizzo50: you don't run .tar.bz2 files, they are a zipped file and have to be unpacked
[03:50] <Live_Android> Dr_Masters ping ubuntu.com
[03:50] <MenZa> Dr_Masters: You can try pinging Google.com. ping google.com
[03:50] <Dr_Masters> wizzo50,  "tar -xjvf *.tar.bz2" will extract it
[03:50] <Moc> openshot seem interesting
[03:51] <wizzo50> shane2peru: then how do you run the Firefox update on Ubuntu?
[03:51] <shane2peru> wizzo50: sudo apt-get install firefox
[03:51] <shane2peru> wizzo50: it will update itself
[03:52] <Dr_Masters> would you know how to incorporate the "ping" into a conditional test for a script?
[03:52] <wizzo50> shane2peru: Thanks
[03:52] <Live_Android> should  sudo apt-get update first
[03:52] <shane2peru> wizzo50: if you want the 3.5 run: sudo apt-get install firefox3.5
[03:52] <nic1> hey someone has idea abt this error: Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. if you have not logged out yourself, this could mean that there is some installation problem or that you may be out of diskspace. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you can fix this problem
[03:52] <wizzo50> shane2peru: Yelp, that is what I want. THanks
[03:52] <Dr_Masters> if [connected to internet]
[03:52] <Dr_Masters> then...
[03:52] <shane2peru> wizzo50: correction:  sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[03:53] <carpediem> nic1: that happens anytime X fails immediately
[03:53] <carpediem> nic1: have you been messing with X, or is this a new install?
[03:53] <shane2peru> wizzo50: it will show up in the menus as Shiretoko web browser, but it is firefox, some sort of fued over the changing of it or something
[03:54] <carpediem> nic1: have you been messing with X, or is this a new install?
[03:54] <wizzo50> shane2peru: Ok, it asked for additional space and I said Yes to it
[03:55] <shane2peru> wizzo50: you will still have FF3 installed, and in the menu's it will be firefox, however the 3.5 is going to be that Shiretoko thing
[03:55] <shane2peru> carpediem: when you installed openshot via the ppa you didn't have any problems?
[03:56] <wizzo50> shane2peru: What is that Shiretoko thing your saying? I don't see it but have to reboot Firefox now
[03:56] <shane2peru> carpediem: does it depend on mplayer or ffmpeg?  I have modified, newer versions installed
[03:56] <P0lux> is not normal that 50% of the time that I want to transfer a file from my external harddrive (NTFS) my other one (EXT3)   it freezes....
[03:56] <P0lux> is it something normal because it's NTFS ?
[03:56] <P0lux> or it's simply because my HARDdrive may sucks
[03:56] <shane2peru> wizzo50: in my menu under Application -> Internet -> Shiretoko Web Browser is actually FF3.5
[03:56] <Live_Android> P0lux, it shouldn't happen
[03:57] <carpediem> shane2peru: on jaunty, not that I remember, haven't gotten around to trying on karmic yet
[03:57] <shane2peru> wizzo50: if you click on the firefox icon, you will be using 3
[03:57] <shane2peru> carpediem: I'm working on jaunty, so that is fine
[03:57] <carpediem> shane2peru: let's check the dependencies.
[03:57] <shane2peru> carpediem: I will have to check it out, I'm glad to see they have a ppa
[03:57] <P0lux> because when the transfer freezes, I have no other choice that unplug... and then I got errors
[03:57] <shane2peru> carpediem: thanks for the info on that too.
[03:58] <Act> hi guys   how can i change the default letterform of gvim
[03:58] <P0lux> anyway
[03:58] <P0lux> good night
[03:58] <nic1> carpediem, not a new install
[03:59] <nic1> in ubuntu, i installed xdesktop
[03:59] <nic1> hey what is the command to empty trash?
[03:59] <carpediem> nic1: have you been playing with X config lately?
[03:59] <wizzo50> shane2peru: I see that now. It is the same. But I don't see the Shiretoko Web Browser your talking about.
[03:59] <meatbun> when is 9.10 release date?
[03:59] <Whitt> 2 weeks
[03:59] <shane2peru> wizzo50: are you on Jaunty?
[04:00] <Royall> checkgmail is showing incorrect user/pass, but they are correct
[04:00] <Royall> anyone know how to fix this?
[04:00] <nic1> no, i never saw X config
[04:00] <meatbun> Whitesquall, before win7 or after?
[04:00] <shane2peru> wizzo50: I'm on 64bit, so perhaps mine is a bit different
[04:00] <Live_Android> Windows 7 is oct 22
[04:00] <shane2peru> wizzo50: the sure way to tell, open it up and click on Help -> About
[04:00] <wizzo50> shiretoko: Ubuntu and I Think it is Jaunty
[04:01] <shane2peru> wizzo50: lol, you meant me. :)
[04:01] <nic1> is there any command to empty trash?
[04:01] <wizzo50> shane2peru: Now I see it, Blue Globe
[04:01] <carpediem> nic1: what do you mean you installed xdesktop?  that could be it if it altered /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:01] <shane2peru> wizzo50: yep, that is it.
[04:02] <carpediem> nic1: to empty trash you just right click on it and choose empty
[04:02] <nic1> i ran apt-get install xdesktop-ubuntu
[04:02] <wizzo50> shiretoko: But after running it, it came up Incompatible Add-ons
[04:03] <prince_jammys> nic1: rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[04:03] <nic1> Carpediem, so you mean i need to check xorg.conf, if it got polluted?
[04:03] <shane2peru> wizzo50: that may be,
[04:03] <shane2peru> wizzo50: you mean shane2peru, not shiretoko
[04:04] <Live_Android> <-- is confused.
[04:04] <wizzo50> shane2peru: Sorry, mistyped. LOL!
[04:04] <War> hey i'm having some issues with my sound card, would anyone like to help me out
[04:04] <shane2peru> wizzo50: no prob, I almost missed it. lol. :)
[04:04] <Live_Android> War, what kind of problems
[04:05] <War> well. my line in on my sound card isnt working
[04:05] <wizzo50> shane2peru: Yea, It wouldn't let me install but said it will keep me updated
[04:05] <nic1> Carpediem, shall i pastebin my xorg.conf here? can you please chek if anyting wrong?
[04:05] <wizzo50> shane2peru: Or informed of any
[04:05] <shane2peru> wizzo50: I didn't realize that I didn't have FF3.5 for a few days
[04:06] <War> i have ubuntu installed side by side of windows xp and when i use windows xp it works, when i use ubuntu it doesnt, ive figured that its a driver issue but im not sure how to install or if i can even install it on ubuntu
[04:06] <ntsasng> if me installing  hdd capacity?
[04:06] <shane2peru> carpediem: thanks for the link on openshot, got it installed and it opened up great, I will play with it later.
[04:06] <pete_> I have a program that needs to startup a few minutes after ubuntu, wats the best way to do that reliably. its a terminal program
[04:06] <ntsasng> reinstall
[04:07] <prince_jammys> nic1: what is the output of ls -l ~/.ICEauthority ?
[04:07] <prince_jammys> !startup | Guest45501
[04:07] <wizzo50> shane2peru: That is weird. Now I went back in there and clicked on the Shiretoko, and now it ran ok and have it were it is red background graphics
[04:08] <shane2peru> wizzo50: hmm, that is odd, mine ran fine
[04:08] <nic1> prince_jammys, output is -rw--------- username username 2862
[04:08] <nic1> and other details
[04:08] <wizzo50> shane2peru: It runs ok now
[04:08] <shane2peru> wizzo50: you can also look into ubuntuzilla on the forums,
[04:08] <prince_jammys> nic1: ok, that's fine.
[04:08] <joebodo> Guest45501 you can add a "sleep xx" for however amount of time you want to delay
[04:08] <nic1> username is there twice
[04:08] <shane2peru> wizzo50: ok
[04:08] <shane2peru> wizzo50: glad to hear it.
[04:08] <nic1> twice is fine?
[04:09] <prince_jammys> nic1: yes, once for the user, another for the group. I assume 'username' is your user's name.
[04:09] <Ubuntuser7> joebodo, how do I do that
[04:09] <wizzo50> shane2peru: Thks
[04:09] <Ubuntuser7> joebodo, program sleep xx ?
[04:09] <nic1> yes username is my username and even the group name also is my username
[04:09] <shane2peru> wizzo50: no porb
[04:09] <shane2peru> wizzo50: no prob
[04:09] <nic1> then where can be the problem?
[04:09] <joebodo> Ubuntuuser7 if it's a shell script, you add "sleep 180" or however many of secs you want
[04:09] <prince_jammys> nic1: look in the forums for your error message. I've seen posts about it.
[04:10] <shane2peru> wizzo50: with linux you really don't want to download programs from web sites and install them, use Synaptic for future reference
[04:10] <prince_jammys> nic1: look for "your session lasted less than 10 seconds" or whatever it says. You'll get hits both from the forums and from google.
[04:10] <ntsasng> if i reinstall, what happen about hdd?
[04:10] <PappouC_ALeXi5> hallo
[04:10] <joebodo> Ubuntuuser7 if it's a single command, use: sleep 180;your command
[04:11] <shane2peru> ntsasng: depends on how you do it, but probably it would erase what you have there
[04:11] <Ubuntuser7> joebodo, ok
[04:12] <joebodo> ntsasng if you reinstall, you can set your home partition to what it was originally and select not to format it
[04:12] <ntsasng> shane2peru: Ím mack in the synaptic and install
[04:13] <ntsasng> reinstall soft
[04:13] <ntsasng> not install Ubuntu
[04:13] <Lucifaneous> is this a fine channel to ask about editors?
[04:14] <shane2peru> ntsasng: it overwrites the file, but often not the configuration file
[04:14] <Lucifaneous> or is that considered offtopic?
[04:14] <Zemmy> Evening folks
[04:14] <prince_jammys> Lucifaneous: depends on the question.
[04:14] <Lucifaneous> I was wondieriong if netbeans works well with ubuntu if not what to get
[04:14] <shane2peru> ntsasng: if you want to get rid of a file you have to purge it and then reinstall it, purging gets rid of conf files if I understand that correctly.
[04:15] <Sirisian> is there something like netcat that will listen for multiple connections like a socket server and print out the information from each of the connections?
[04:15] <joebodo> Lucifaneous dont see any reason why netbeans wouldnt work - i use eclipse though - that works fine
[04:15] <shane2peru> night all
[04:15] <JoeSomebody> new to ubuntu, cant see my windows machines, "failed to retrieve share list from server" can someone help with this?
[04:15] <JoeSomebody> was trying to browse the network
[04:16] <Trev_> ok
[04:16] <wizzo50> shane2peru: Night
[04:16] <Lucifaneous> joebodo: why eclipse it works faster with ubuntu?
[04:16] <Moc> k well openshot look nice in the screencast, but it seem soo limited
[04:16] <joebodo> JoeSomebody i believe there's a app that needs to be installed - but you can do: smb://server-name in the file manager to see the shares
[04:16] <Devourer> I can't find the package nvidia-xconfig, what am I supposed to do? A program says I need to run it.
[04:16] <Trev_> I need your help.  I have a laptop before me, with no means of human input other than a CD drive and ethernet.  We must be creative
[04:16] <joebodo> Lucifaneous i havent tried netbeans, so im not sure if its faster. I prefer eclipse when programming.
[04:17] <Lucifaneous> ok.. thanks
[04:17] <Lucifaneous> bye bye
[04:17] <Devourer> Nevermind. I solved my problem.
[04:17] <Devourer> Apparently, nvidia-xconfig is a tool that comes in another package.
[04:17] <melow01> hey peeps
[04:18] <Live_Android> Trev_, you should try to be more specific
[04:18] <fayze> hey all, anyone used nget?
[04:18] <imz76> hello all, i'm ubuntu noob, need help in install sun-java5-jre
[04:18] <joebodo> Live_Android seemed pretty specific to me
[04:18] <imz76> i want to install omnet++
[04:19] <Live_Android> so no keyboard, touchpad?
[04:19] <Trev_> Live_Android:  Well it's a laptop where USB, and keyboard won't work.  So it enters Windows XP fine and that's all I can do.  I'm just trying to think of some way to remotely control it.  But it all needs to be set up through a CD drive and ethernet since that's all that works
[04:19] <imz76> can anybody help?
[04:19] <JoeSomebody> joebodo do you know what app?
[04:19] <Live_Android> so can you run livecds on it
[04:20] <oldude67> imz76, try installing from synaptics.
[04:20] <Trev_> Live_Android:   I assume boot discs will work, yeah.  But again, no keyboard/mouse
[04:20] <soreau> imz76: I'm assuming you've already tried 'sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre' ?
[04:20] <joebodo> JoeSomebody if your using gnome, just open up nautilus and type in smb://theservername
[04:20] <SeaPhor> i am using a HP-Mini- Has No ODD- this has Ubuntu 8.10-- so i am about to do the on-line upgrade to 9.04..... how can i make sure it will go well?
[04:21] <JoeSomebody> ok
[04:21] <Live_Android> Trev_, is the no keyboard/mouse situation because of windows or at boot also
[04:21] <melow01> does anyone have experience with creating a USB Flash with Ubuntu for a fresh install? Laptop doesn't have a CDROM (not a netbook)
[04:21] <Live_Android> melow01, Ubuntu 9.04 has it in the menu actually
[04:21] <melow01> in the menu?
[04:21] <melow01> hmmm
[04:21] <bazhang> melow01, unetbootin should do
[04:21] <soreau> SeaPhor: Make sure your 8.10 is completely up-to-date, make sure you're using sane sources list and cross your fingers
[04:21] <joebodo> Trev_ you cannot use an external keyboard ? ie. there's no plug ?
[04:21] <Live_Android> yes the one at the top of the screen
[04:21] <thedude42> unetbootin
[04:22] <melow01> I tried 'usb-creator' but didn't work
[04:22] <melow01> I get 'Invalid Boot Partition'
[04:22] <ixian_> unetbootin is sweet
[04:22] <bazhang> melow01, what version of ubuntu are you using currently
[04:22] <melow01> ok, I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 so maybe I should upgrade this one
[04:22] <melow01> 8.04
[04:22] <wizzo50> sebsebseb: Hi
[04:23] <Trev___> Sorry, lost my ethernet cord :)
[04:23] <melow01> can I run unetbootin on 8.04?
[04:23] <Pengyduckwin> I have an odd problem here, since my laptop has the radeon xpress graphics card, it shouldn't work in ubuntu, but SaX2 was able to configure the graphics card right in opensuse, so is there anything like that available in ubuntu?
[04:23] <melow01> Live_android: I have a G1... are you on MyTouch or other?
[04:23] <nickrud> @btlogin
[04:23] <bazhang> melow01, there is a version you can download from a 3rd party site for hardy, or if you have jaunty it is in the repos
[04:23] <SeaPhor> bazhang, any chance you can help?
[04:23] <melow01> ok
[04:24] <JoeSomebody> joebodo the other computers used to just show up under network, that didnt work btw
[04:24] <JoeSomebody> cant see any other machines
[04:24] <melow01> if I want to upgade to Jaunty from Hardy... can I do an apt-get update?
[04:24] <melow01> or do I have to download the whole iso and install it?
[04:24] <Moc> ha and openshot fuck up my vlc install !!!

[04:25] <Madcamper> I'm having 2 problems with wine and CSS, 1. i have it set to 800x600 fullscreen, but it loads the CSS GUI in the bottom left corner of my screen. 2. I can join a server for about 8 seconds before it closes out. tips?
[04:25] <gilch> it should tell you that there is a distribution upgrade available
[04:26] <Pengyduckwin> does anybody know why the radeon driver (open source, not fglrx) can't handle fullscreen?
[04:26] <joebodo> JoeSomebody take a look at this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=450131
[04:26] <soreau> ! pm | imz76
[04:26] <Live_Android> Pengyduckwin, what kind of application in fullscreen?

[04:27] <Pengyduckwin> like, teeworlds
[04:27] <shawn_> Is there anywhere to get fully assembled Ubuntu themes? (Like where I wouldnt have to download each indiviudal pice like icons etc)
[04:27] <bazhang> melow01, it must be done incrementally
[04:27] <Madcamper> I'm not sure how to go about looking on google for my issue
[04:27] <soreau> imz76: Pastebin the output of sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jre to pastebin.com
[04:27] <fayze> sooo any nget users?
[04:27] <melow01> ok
[04:27] <melow01> kool
[04:27] <Pengyduckwin> Live_Android: or hedgehog wars, mostly games
[04:27] <nickrud> melow01, that's correct; you can only go from one release to the next, no skipping (there's an exception, but not relevant here)
[04:27] <natewiebe13> shawn_: not that i know of.. but im running karmic.. and the themes included are great
[04:28] <joebodo> shawn_ have you tried: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=450131
[04:28] <bazhang> shawn_, gnome-look.org
[04:28] <joebodo> shawn_ oops wrong url
[04:28] <melow01> great, thanks guy
[04:28] <melow01> *folks
[04:28] <gilch> nickrud: what is that exception? lts releases?
[04:28] <melow01> I'll update and try unetbootin and get back in here
[04:28] <bazhang> gilch, correct
[04:29] <natewiebe13> btw.. the humanity icon theme that is default in karmic.. is the best icon theme i have seen
[04:29] <Madcamper> help anyone with CSS and Wine resolution problem?
[04:29] <nickrud> gilch, exactly, lts->lts
[04:29] <joebodo> Eicon is the best icon theme :)
[04:29] <Pengyduckwin> Live_Android: is it possible my Radeon Xpress is the cause for it?
[04:29] <nickrud> I'll second that on the icon theme. Very nice
[04:29] <Live_Android> Pengyduckwin, are all games giving you that problem
[04:29] <ntsasng> có ai người việt Nam không
[04:29] <natewiebe13> joebodo, nickrud: i'll check it out
[04:30] <nickrud> the default, I mean. I hadn't seen karmic's until this week
[04:30] <ntsasng> I don't install Netbean.sh
[04:30] <Pengyduckwin> Live_android: All games that go fullscreen. I've checked that they work in windowed mode, but others, like teeworlds, have to be changed from the GUI
[04:30] <ntsasng> chmod +x ./netbean.sh
[04:30] <bazhang> !vn | ntsasng
[04:30] <nickrud> !vn > nickrud
[04:30] <ntsasng> sudo ./netbean.sh
[04:31] <ntsasng> file cocruped
[04:31] <Live_Android> Pengyduckwin, it is probably Compiz if you are running it
[04:31] <BullHorn0> hey guys
[04:31] <nickrud> !netbeans
[04:31] <Pengyduckwin> Live_Android: already checked, same problem
[04:31] <BullHorn0> i can use the default 9.04 installer .iso to create a disk-on-key os, yes?
[04:31] <JoeSomebody> joebodo tried that link, it didn't help said i already had it
[04:31] <SeaPhor> bazhang, nickrud , any help??   i am about to do because 8.10 is really bad...
[04:31] <Live_Android> Pengyduckwin, so you tried it without Compiz or advanced graphics effects ?
[04:32] <nickrud> ntsasng, that means your download is bad. you can install netbeans with synaptic
[04:32] <nickrud> !info netbeans
[04:32] <bazhang> SeaPhor, please address your issue (with some specificity ) to the channel
[04:32] <Pengyduckwin> Live_android: Yes, I even tried it with enlightenment to see if it was gnome, but still to no avail
[04:32] <ntsasng> hizz
[04:32] <SeaPhor> i am using a HP-Mini- Has No ODD- this has Ubuntu 8.10-- so i am about to do the on-line upgrade to 9.04..... how can i make sure it will go well? bazhang
[04:32] <joebodo> JoeSomebody sorry - that's about all I know to do ... I only have XP - so not sure if there are extra hoops to jump through for vista or 7
[04:32] <natewiebe13> joebodo: mind telling me where to find eicon?
[04:33] <bazhang> SeaPhor, back everything up, create a separate home partition
[04:33] <bazhang> !home | SeaPhor
[04:33] <joebodo> natewiebe13 ill try and find real quick - i know it was difficult to find
[04:33] <gilch> SeaPhor, there is no 100%. just backup everything
[04:33] <nickrud> SeaPhor, there's images you can put on a thumb drive to install to the mini iirc
[04:33] <Pengyduckwin> Live_android: I don't have another computer with an ATI card, so I can't test if it's only my card model
[04:33] <joebodo> natewiebe13 actually ill just zip it up and put it on some file site if that's ok with you
[04:33] <nickrud> SeaPhor, and I had to install 8.10 on this quad core and upgrade to 9.10. Probably a workaround but I didn't look for it

[04:34] <Viking667> hey all. Got a question regarding media. I want to add a particular DVD image to the list of places to get stuff from... (in this case, it's the Ubuntu Studio DVD)
[04:34] <safruhani> hi, is there any package belong to mono project, if we use ubuntu?
[04:34] <Viking667> ... however, I don't know how to add a local DVD to the list. Any clues as to where I should look to add stuff to the apt sources?
[04:34] <lolmac> hi, why when i try to activate (download and install) a video driver that is in my Hardware Drivers, i get the message "SystemError E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
[04:35] <gilch> Viking667, do you mean adding the dvd as a source for packages?
[04:35] <nickrud> SeaPhor, http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download-netbook
[04:35] <Viking667> yup.
[04:35] <SeaPhor> whoah!!! bazhang and others,,, i have written tutorials on how to have a separate /home... but that's not what i'm asking
[04:35] <Live_Android> Pengyduckwin, so what exactly happens
[04:35] <melow01> ubuntu is upgrading from 8.04 to 8.10... in the meantime... wanted to also ask another question... I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my GF's laptop (no CDROM) and she also needs Windows XP... is it possible to put XP on a USB Flash bootable?
[04:35]  * david_ spits.
[04:35] <melow01> i know, i know
[04:35] <Viking667> melow01: cripes.
[04:35] <natewiebe13> joebodo, nickrud: humanity icons (karmic default) in case you havent seen them yet: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Humanity?content=111517
[04:35] <bazhang> SeaPhor, backup everything. there are no guarantees.
[04:35] <gilch> Viking667, System | Administration | Software Sources ...
[04:35] <Viking667> Can the laptop even BOOT from a USB drive?
[04:35] <melow01> cripes?
[04:35] <Viking667> gilch: thanks.
[04:36] <melow01> working on that currently
[04:36] <Viking667> cripes. as in, wow.
[04:36] <BullHorn0> is there a ubuntu-user-guide WITHIN ubuntu? for mega-beginners? because i want to try it without an internet connection...
[04:36] <bazhang> BullHorn0, let me get you a link
[04:36] <melow01> I used the dd command to make an iso and then put it on a usb.... when it boots to usb, I get a blinking cursor
[04:36] <lolmac> hi, why when i try to activate (download and install) a video driver that is in my Hardware Drivers, i get the message "SystemError E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages."
[04:36] <hullo> hello, i fat a fat formatted drive on an ata-usb device, i can see the partitions in the parition editor but they do not automount (like drives usually do on this device) what can I do?
[04:36] <JoeSomebody> can someone help me network? 2 ubuntu and 2 xp, the ubuntu computers are "blind"

[04:37] <gilch> Viking667, on the Other Software tab
[04:37] <Pengyduckwin> Live_android: After I run the application, the screen flickers a scattered combination of the chosen app and the desktop, then the screen goes to a frozen image of what's under the game, and progrssively turns white.
[04:37] <nickrud> Viking667, you should use apt-cdrom if it's not listed in Software Sources
[04:37] <natewiebe13> BullHorn0: also, under system, there is a "help and support" which should also give basic users information
[04:37] <ntsasng> how is set path jre for Eclipse?
[04:37] <BullHorn0> sounds perfect bazhang, i hope its covers the most newbie issues
[04:37] <BullHorn0> like
[04:37] <Viking667> nickrud: I'll look at that too. I don't happen to be in gnome at the moment.
[04:37] <Pengyduckwin> Live_android: So far, I've had to CTRL+ALT+BKSP
[04:37] <BullHorn0> how to start it and like, how to open a window ;x
[04:37] <Live_Android> Pengyduckwin, what card is it ATI Xpress might be integrated
[04:38] <Gopher1> I just downloaded a video that says I need to use windows media player to play it, tried using both VLC and Movie Player to no avail, anyone have any ideas?
[04:38] <nickrud> lolmac, you have problems in your packaging system. You'd get good messages by doing   sudo ap-get -f    in a terminal. You might even fix it (-f means fix if possible)
[04:38] <wanna_learn> hi
[04:38] <natewiebe13> Gopher1: haha... probably a virus
[04:38] <melow01> I was thinking that I need some generic boot files to get the XP to boot from USB
[04:38] <wanna_learn> i got an error unable to execute "/sbin/getty at tty1 no such file or directory
[04:38] <wanna_learn> can u help me?
[04:38] <Pengyduckwin> Live_android: Yes, ATI Xpresses are integrated into the board, because this is a laptop. lspci says it's a 200m model
[04:39] <joebodo> natewiebe13 the upload site keeps crashing my FF :(
[04:39] <Gopher1> I'm not having any problems, is it jsut a big windows virus and worthless to me?
[04:39] <nickrud> ntsasng, if you install java using the apt or synaptic you don't need to worry about setting the path, eclipse will find it no problem
[04:39] <danny> Hello
[04:39] <wanna_learn> i cant login to my linux and when i tried to ssh it prints server refused to allocate pty
[04:39] <SeaPhor> bazhang, thanks for exploiting the obvious,, you are useless, thought you knew something about the upgrade process and the netbook reference from nickrud
[04:39] <gilch> Gopher1, sounds like you don't have the correct codec for the video
[04:39] <bazhang> SeaPhor, there is no need for that.
[04:39] <ntsasng> I install using apt!!!
[04:39] <lolmac> nickrud: i only get a message with a lot of options
[04:39] <melow01> bazhang help me out, no need for the bashing
[04:39] <Gopher1> How would I go about finding it?
[04:39] <melow01> *helped
[04:39] <lolmac> nickrud: isn't it apt-get?
[04:40] <ntsasng> when me run java
[04:40] <natewiebe13> Gopher1: whenever i have had a video like that.. its usually a video that is bundled with a virus.. is it an actual video stream that says "need to play with windows media player" or another window that comes up?
[04:40] <nickrud> lolmac, yep. I screwed the pooch.  it's   sudo apt-get install -f    ;)
[04:40] <ntsasng> Not found jre?
[04:40] <hullo> hello, i have  a fat16/fat32 formatted drive on an ata-usb device, i can see the partitions in the partition editor but they do not automount (like drives usually do on this device) what can I do?
[04:40] <lolmac> nickrud: should i update the list?
[04:40] <Gopher1> Its an actual video thats about 10 seconds with the words NEED WINDOWS...
[04:40] <Lazarus> umm... any ideas on why a seagate barracuda hdd is not detected by the alternate installer of ubuntu?
[04:40] <natewiebe13> Gopher1: sounds like virus to me
[04:41] <thedude42> hullo, manually mount it?
[04:41] <Gopher1> Glitch, would you agree?
[04:41] <kiran> hi  how to download youtube videos help me
[04:41] <gilch> hullo, you need to add it to /etc/fstab
[04:41] <nickrud> lolmac, sure; but be sure to run that command as well. If it errors out, put the complete output on a pastebin and I'll take a look.
[04:41] <bazhang> Guest95954, youtube-dl is the package you need to install
[04:41] <SeaPhor> for what bazhang ? i am about to do the upgrade and need help when (not if) it fails,,, have done before
[04:41] <ntsasng> I'm install using apt
[04:41] <ntsasng> when I run java it is reported not find jre
[04:42] <BullHorn0> how can i make a ubuntu diskonkey?
[04:42] <nickrud> SeaPhor, for gratuitous insults.
[04:42] <bazhang> BullHorn0, not sure what you mean by that
[04:42] <gilch> hullo, or you can mount it for the time being using "sudo mount -t vfat <partition> <mount-point>
[04:42] <ntsasng> I'm install java using apt, when I run java it is reported not find jre
[04:42] <Guest95954> how to download youtube videos
[04:42] <natewiebe13> BullHorn0: usb startup disk?
[04:42] <hullo> gilch thank you
[04:43] <nickrud> ntsasng, you installed  sun-java6-jre , and when you type java -version what do you see?
[04:43] <bazhang> Guest95954, install the package youtube-dl as I suggested a moment ago
[04:43] <joebodo> ntsasng you might want to use the sun java for eclipse
[04:43] <Pengyduckwin> kiran & Guest95954: I'm not sure if it's legal, but put "pwn" (without quotes) in front of the youtube url and it'll direct you to a URL download (I'm dead serious, it's not a joke)
[04:43] <gilch> hullo, let me know if you need any help
[04:43] <melow01> After I get to 8.10... can I upgrade straight to 9.04? Or are there other increments in between?
[04:43] <choppyhorse> can I install ubuntu without having an install disk somehow?  Like, mount from usb then format and install from there?
[04:43] <bazhang> melow01, its a straight shot from 8.10 to 9.04
[04:43] <melow01> cool, thanks
[04:44] <Pengyduckwin> kiran & Guest95954: as in http://www.pwnyoutube.com/...
[04:44] <hullo> choppyhorse: mount the drive then dd from root to the drive
[04:44] <natewiebe13> melow01: you can also upgrade straight to 9.10 if you want (skipping 9.04)
[04:44] <nickrud> bazhang, I'm having a brain fart. Do you remember offhand what the command is to show held packages?
[04:44] <ntsasng> I'm using sun-java6-jdk
[04:44] <melow01> is 9.10 an LTS?
[04:44] <bazhang> melow01, no its not
[04:44] <natewiebe13> i think the next lts is 10.04
[04:44] <ntsasng> joebodo: I'm using sun-java6-jdk
[04:45] <bazhang> nickrud, got me, best to ask jrib :)
[04:45] <melow01> ok, I'm not quite advanced enough with terminal to stray from LTS
[04:45] <lolmac> bazhang: what's LTS?
[04:45] <Pengyduckwin> melow01: I think so
[04:45] <melow01> Long Term Support (LTS)
[04:45] <Viking667> Long Term Support
[04:45] <bazhang> lolmac, long term support
[04:45] <joebodo> !lts
[04:45] <Viking667> i.e. they'll keep it on stream for 5 years
[04:45] <SeaPhor> nickrud, ??? how??? i asked a specific question with my details provided, and gave full detail of what has happened before, .... my specific question has been blown off??
[04:45] <nickrud> remembered, sudo aptitude search ~ahold
[04:45] <Viking667> I had a minor issue trying to upgrade from a LTS. I worked it out, thankfully
[04:46] <melow01> oh I thought 9.04 is LTS... my bad
[04:46] <melow01> oh well, I'll just have to learn it anyway
[04:46] <melow01> all good
[04:46] <nickrud> not blown off, probably misunderstood. Was my link useful?
[04:46] <digital_rouge> hello all i need help with the partition manager
[04:46] <ntsasng>  joebodo: I'm using sun-java6-jdk
[04:47] <gilch> digital_rouge, how so?
[04:47] <Pengyduckwin> digital_rouge: the karmic one or gparted?
[04:47] <natewiebe13> but for those who arent using karmic yet, i have to say it is way better than jaunty and is very stable
[04:47] <digital_rouge> gparted
[04:47] <hullo>  gilch: worked like a charm
[04:47] <gilch> hullo, glad i could help
[04:47] <digital_rouge> im trying to format my entire external hard drive however gparted wont load after fresh install
[04:47] <joebodo> natewiebe13 the only issues i have had with karmic are with the update manager
[04:48] <natewiebe13> joebodo: fixed now as far as i know
[04:48] <nickrud> !karmic
[04:48] <Whitt> joebodo, lucky you
[04:48] <hullo> gilch: do you know why it wouldnt automount like drives usually do? (i dont want it to permanently (i know how to use fstab) just wondering why this one wouldnt
[04:48] <joebodo> natewiebe13 oops - that was meant for everyone in general
[04:48] <Pengyduckwin> digital_rouge, Ubuntu doesn't come with gparted AFAIK
[04:48] <SeaPhor> nickrud, no, i've been all over that,,, (as i work for HP on mobile biz-class) and not apply
[04:48] <joebodo> natewiebe13 still working on the eikon upload ...
[04:48] <digital_rouge> yes i know i downloaded it
[04:49] <gilch> hullo, is it an external drive?
[04:49] <natewiebe13> digital_rouge: isnt insatlled by default
[04:49] <natewiebe13> *installed
[04:49] <hullo> gilch: yes
[04:49] <gilch> hullo, was it plugged in when you installed?
[04:49] <nickrud> ah, then the usual caveats when upgrading. Make sure that you are completely up to date, any 3d party repos are disabled, consider removing 3d party apps temporarily during the upgrade
[04:49] <Pengyduckwin> digital_rouge is it not running or not formatting?
[04:49] <digital_rouge> yes i downloaded it and it was working however i could make partitions but it would not let me format the entire drive even after dismount
[04:49] <hullo> gilch: no, but when i usually plug in a new drive on this ata-usb device my computer recognizes it and automounts it
[04:50] <melow01> is there a ubuntu netbook irc channel?
[04:50] <Whitt> Is anyone here able to offer me some help with RythemBox on 9.10?
[04:50] <nic1> hey can anyone pls help me with xsession-error?
[04:50] <digital_rouge> it is doing niether the external drive all a sudden must be mounted in order for the program to load
[04:50] <natewiebe13> digital_rogue: what did it say/do?
[04:50] <gilch> hullo, hmm.. not sure
[04:50] <Pengyduckwin> digital_rouge What are you trying to format it as? (IE fat16 ntfs...
[04:50] <digital_rouge> fat 32
[04:50] <SeaPhor> nickrud, all that considered,,, it failed before,,, so no hope for trying now
[04:50] <nic1> can not open shared object file
[04:50] <hullo> gilch: just wondering anyway
[04:51] <digital_rouge> but i cant get that far
[04:51] <nic1> why do i get shared object error?
[04:51] <Pengyduckwin> digital_rouge how big is the hard drive?
[04:51] <nickrud> !~ask nic1
[04:51] <lolmac> how do i enter a subfolder in terminal?
[04:51] <digital_rouge> 1tb

[04:51] <nickrud> lolmac, cd
[04:51] <lolmac> command Folder
[04:51] <lolmac> it doesn't work here
[04:51] <lolmac> strange
[04:51] <nickrud> open terminal, cd Desktop should work
[04:51] <grodius> hello friends- what is a good texteditor in ubuntu for editing code. Im trying to find one that can identify and color code the different syntax to make coding easier.
[04:52] <digital_rouge> pengyduck win please im me
[04:52] <natewiebe13> grodius: gedit or geany
[04:52] <nickrud> gedit, the default can do that.
[04:52] <natewiebe13> grodius: what kind of code are you dealing with?
[04:52] <nickrud> !editor | grodius (all can do that)
[04:52] <nickrud> erm, except nano
[04:53] <solofight> help | i installed windows on my machine now my grub got replaced by windows boot loader, i followed this link which says from inside windows which asked me to download the software Auto super grub disk and installed, when ran it is asking for grub path and all for custom option , is that how i have to proceed ?
[04:53] <hullo> grodius:  Scite is probably what you're looking for
[04:53] <lolmac> nickrud: how do i go to the /etc directory?
[04:53] <nickrud> lolmac, cd /etc
[04:53] <joebodo> solofight grub2 or grub ?
[04:53] <nickrud> lolmac, be very cautious in there. That's the system configuration stuff, be sure to make a backup of each file you edit first.
[04:54] <melow01> anybody here have Ubuntu running on a Inspiron 300m?
[04:54] <solofight> joebodo, i dont know, i am running on ubuntu 9
[04:54] <solofight> xubuntu to be precise
[04:55] <joebodo> solofight 9.04 or 9.10 ?
[04:55] <solofight> joebodo: omg,
[04:55]  * solofight biting nails
[04:55] <ItJedi42> Anyone know how to change the ubuntu 9.04 ICS ip from <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:55] <lolmac> nickrud: how do i open a txt file?
[04:55] <Flannel> solofight: lsb_release -a will tell you
[04:55] <lolmac> in terminal
[04:55] <solofight> joebodo, sorry dont know even that
[04:55] <nickrud> lolmac, you can use sudo nano filename. But before you edit something in /etc, what is it?
[04:55] <solofight> Flannel, am locked out of ubuntu how can i type that command ?
[04:55] <Whitt> lolmac, gedit <file name>
[04:56] <lolmac> nickrud:
[04:56] <joebodo> !grub | solofight
[04:56] <melow01> 'less' command opens text files to the screen, correct?
[04:56] <lolmac>  				 				Re: Network Manager - Wired Network - device not managed?
[04:56] <nickrud> melow01, yes
[04:56] <joebodo> solofight im assuming you are using 9.04
[04:56] <lolmac>  			 		   		 		 		I had the same problem with the wired connection after upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 RC.
[04:56] <lolmac> Changing [ifupdown] managed=false to true in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf resolved the issue.
[04:56] <Steelsteve> does anyone know how to make rythembox work with podcast feeds that are not .xml
[04:56] <Flannel> solofight: ah, right.  Where did you get your Ubuntu?
[04:56] <joebodo> solofight i had to use a different process for grub 2 (9.10)
[04:56] <melow01> 'cat' does similar? displays text files in terminal?
[04:56] <nickrud> lolmac, ok, be sure to make a backup first. I like adding something like   .beforeIstartedmuckingabout
[04:57] <ItJedi42> Anyone know how to change the ubuntu 9.04 ICS ip from <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:57] <solofight> joebodo my installation is 2 months old, if that will help you to guess which grub am using
[04:57] <natewiebe13> soloflight: it will say at the top
[04:57] <gilch> melow01, "cat" is used to concatenate files, as a secondary use, it can just output files to the terminal
[04:57] <joebodo> !grub | solofight (this should help - you are probably using 9.04)
[04:57] <natewiebe13> if it says grub 1.97 it is grub 2
[04:57] <Madcamper> anyone play CSS through wine?
[04:57] <solofight> ubottu: i have already done this process of restoring grub after which i loose my windows in boot menu list
[04:58] <solofight> so trying again
[04:58] <nic1> first thing it tells /usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display o
[04:58] <joebodo> natewiebe13 eikon url is : http://www.mediafire.com/?tzz2j2jf
[04:58] <solofight> Flannel, i downloaded my xubuntu from official site
[04:58] <nic1> why do i get tat message?
[04:58] <nickrud> solofight, best thing to do is get grub back booting linux, then come here for help adding windows to grub
[04:58] <joebodo> natewiebe13 just unzip that file into your ~/.icons/ directory
[04:58] <Flannel> solofight: You've got 9.04 then, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub  should work for you
[04:59] <nickrud> solofight, a few lines added to a file and you'll always have windows
[04:59] <natewiebe13> joebodo: is the link correct?
[04:59] <natewiebe13> im getting the homepage
[04:59] <joebodo> natewiebe13 i hope so, i uploaded to my mediafire account
[04:59] <Madcamper> also, with dual monitoring, how do i setup the seperate X screens?
[05:00] <joebodo> madcamper ati or nvidia ?
[05:00] <natewiebe13> joebodo: mind checking the link you gave me?
[05:01] <joebodo> natewiebe13 ok - 1 min
[05:01] <solofight> Flannel,joebodo,nickrud: sorry to say that i dont have my xubuntu installation disk right now with me to restore grub by booting into live disk, can i some way do it from windows ?
[05:01] <joebodo> natewiebe13 oops - try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?tzz2j2jfqzo
[05:02] <natewiebe13> there we go
[05:02] <solofight> theres a way given in that link to restore grub from windows , but i downloaded that software an dinstalled and ran
[05:02] <nickrud> supergrub can find and restore grub for booting linux
[05:02] <solofight> nickrud, ah ha, i installed it and when i ran it
[05:02] <nickrud> every time I use it I have to relearn, since I've used it may twice
[05:03] <solofight> it gives me 3 options 1 which has two list box saying super grub and another asking version of it
[05:03] <joebodo> natewiebe13 it's missing some of the network icons for koala - i havent taken the time to add them - but the rest seems complete
[05:03] <solofight> another which says custom and asks for grub path an dall
[05:03] <solofight> which one to choose ?
[05:03] <natewiebe13> joebodo: who made them?
[05:03] <adriano> preciso da ajuda de alguém em relação ao acpi
[05:04] <solofight> joebodo, i tried the default one and waited the whole night yesterday after reboot and selecing that menu option which said trying to restore grub in hd0,0
[05:04] <solofight> but nothing else happened
[05:04] <joebodo> natewiebe13 i found a link on deviantart.com - not sure why they are not on gnome-look
[05:04] <exodus_ms> question about 'window-picker-applet' concerning tweaking the behavior of the applet. where could I look to change the settings?
[05:04] <solofight> it didnt find my grub for 4 hours and i lost patience and quit
[05:04] <solofight> joebodo, am i missing something ?
[05:05] <joebodo> solofight i would suggest burning another live cd
[05:05] <solofight> oh
[05:06] <Xgates> does Jaunty have in Synaptic kernel version 2.6.31?
[05:06] <natewiebe13> joebodo: they are nice.. but not complete enough for me to use.. one big thing, is they need to remake the folders, remove the couple KDEish icons
[05:06] <natewiebe13> Xgates: that'd be karmic
[05:06] <live_automaton> #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:06] <Xgates> natewiebe13: ok thanks
[05:06] <natewiebe13> (that has 2.6.31)
[05:07] <joebodo> natewiebe13 there are a few different versions for the folder icons - you can replace them with the version you like
[05:07] <Xgates> natewiebe13: that I know I'm on it right now hehe just wanted to know if they placed it in Jaunty at all
[05:07] <Xgates> thanks
[05:07] <natewiebe13> yeah.. so far, im really liking the humanity theme
[05:07] <natewiebe13> Xgates.. im using karmic too, i'll quickly check my jaunty box
[05:07] <nic1> nickrud, ubottu: my error log is like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/290514/
[05:08] <joebodo> !ubottu
[05:08] <exodus_ms> for karmic what is the kernel system timer set to? is it still 250 Hz?
[05:08] <natewiebe13> Xgates: 2.6.28-15-generic
[05:09] <natewiebe13> is jaunty
[05:09] <nickrud> nic1, see if you have package libxfce4util4 installed for the file not found; why you'd have an X already running I don't know
[05:10] <nickrud> nic1, I've never run #xubuntu so my info is very limited
[05:10] <teknozwizard> Where is the ISO image at on a CD?
[05:11] <teknozwizard> I'm trying to install some tools from a LiveCD using Vbox. Already got the Vbox set up, just need to install the files so that I don't have to use the liveCD every time.
[05:11] <nic1> nickrud, i guess some pollution in the way i installed i guess
[05:12] <Brian___> ok i really need some help i was installin ubuntu onto my netbook via usb because it doesnt have a cd drive , so halfway into the install i get a error message saying the cd is scratched or damaged what do i do
[05:12] <thedude42> teknozwizard, so you installed an operating system in virtualbox, and now you want to be able to install things without it asking you for the CD?
[05:12] <Ubuntuser7> how do i use root in a shell sript?
[05:13] <melow01> Brain__: how did you put Ubuntu onto USB?
[05:13] <Brian___> ubuntu startup disk maker
[05:13] <natewiebe13> melow01: USB Startup Disc Creator under system -> administration
[05:13] <IdleOne> !usb | melow01
[05:13] <Brian___> i was installed karmic koala
[05:14] <melow01> ahhh... ok
[05:14] <melow01> thanks
[05:14] <bazhang> Brian___, #ubuntu+1 for karmic
[05:15] <Brian___> ya noone is helpfull in there
[05:15] <bazhang> Brian___, that is the channel none the less.
[05:15] <JohnLocke> what causes some file filename.ext to be duplicated as filename.ext~
[05:15] <JohnLocke> ?
[05:15] <natewiebe13> Brian___: im running karmic
[05:15] <bazhang> melow01, unetbootin is also good for that
[05:16] <nickrud> JohnLocke, that's an automatically created backup (by some program)
[05:16] <prince_jammys> JohnLocke: your text editor, most likely.
[05:16] <joebodo> JohnLocke I know that gedit creates backups by default
[05:16] <melow01> bazhang: I'm gonna try unetbootin once my system is done upgrading to 9.04
[05:17] <melow01> I tried usb-creator, but when I boot to USB, I get "Invalid Boot Partition"
[05:17] <ixian_> unetbootin has worked well for me
[05:17] <JohnLocke> joebodo: yes i was using gedit, but it doesn't create such files everytime!
[05:17] <ixian_> got linux mint and clonezilla on my usb drive ;D
[05:17] <joebodo> JohnLocke not sure why - i turned off the automatic backup option
[05:19] <choreo> ctc
[05:19] <melow01> for usb-creator... does the source *have* to be a Ubuntu LiveCD? I just want to install Ubuntu on the local HDD, not run it from the USB.
[05:20] <bazhang> melow01, use as an installer as opposed to a live usb stick?
[05:21] <melow01> ok, I'll check the options
[05:21] <Steelsteve> ok, seems like it calmed down... does anyone know how to make rythembox work with podcast feeds that are not .xml
[05:21] <choreo> how to use pidgin
[05:21] <bazhang> certainly unetbootin can do that, not had much luck with usb-creator so really couldnt say melow01
[05:21] <melow01> ok, ya i'm not having luck with usb-creator either
[05:22] <choreo> i add my acct on pidgin but it doesnt work, what should i do
[05:22] <bazhang> !yahoo
[05:22] <bazhang> choreo, ^^
[05:22] <live_automaton> choreo, http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin
[05:22] <nalcomis> hello.  I just Ubuntu 9.0.4 for the first time.  My internet browsing is INCREDIBLY slow and, additionally, the update manager hangs.  I apologize if this has been addressed before..  I googled around and couldn't find anything specific to this problem.  Has anyone else dealt with this?  Thanks in advance....
[05:23] <choreo> ok tnx a lot
[05:23] <live_automaton> nalcomis, that is abnormal...is it an upgrad eor a clean install
[05:23] <nalcomis> clean install
[05:23] <bazhang> nalcomis, by hangs, you mean it times out?
[05:23] <nalcomis> I am in Japan with a 50Mbps connection
[05:23] <nalcomis> all other computers work fine
[05:24] <nalcomis> the update manager times out sometimes
[05:24] <nalcomis> and other times doesn't do anything
[05:24] <nalcomis> just sits there
[05:24] <bazhang> nalcomis, something recent, or always been this way
[05:24] <joebodo> 50 meg !!
[05:24] <nalcomis> I installed this morning
[05:24] <nalcomis> yeah
[05:24] <nalcomis> Japan rocks for Internet
[05:24] <joebodo> damn comcast
[05:25] <nalcomis> I pay $25 a month for 50Mbps
[05:25] <nalcomis> it is incredible
[05:25] <FloodBot1> nalcomis: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:25] <bazhang> nalcomis, have you tried switching mirrors in software sources
[05:25] <joebodo> your internet is too fast for IRC
[05:26] <nalcomis> hah....yeah....I just received a flood notification.  I max out 802.11g...heh.  I have to connect directly to get the full bandwidth scope
[05:26]  * DigitalKiwi wonders if anyone ever actually uses Enter as punctution..."HI guys how are you? Enter It is a wonderful day isn't it? Enter I have a problem with my ubuntu Enter could someone please help me?! Enter
[05:27] <DigitalKiwi> "
[05:27] <Guest44526> what do i do if i forgot my  username and password
[05:27] <nalcomis> I haven't tried switching mirrors...  I am curious why browsing is so slow though.  It is almost unusable
[05:27] <joebodo> !offtopic | digitalkiwi
[05:27] <DigitalKiwi> joebodo: nou
[05:27] <bazhang> nalcomis, if you have tried other software mirrors, and it is still slow (ie regular browsing is fine, only a problem with mirrors) then I suspect it is to do with recent karmic updates taxing the mirrors
[05:27] <DigitalKiwi> !language | joebodo
[05:28] <bazhang> DigitalKiwi, please desist
[05:28] <choreo> anyone knows katrina halili
[05:28] <DigitalKiwi> bazhang: never!
[05:28] <DigitalKiwi> jk
[05:28] <nalcomis> bazhang, understood.  Thanks...  I am still wondering about browsing.  It is very strange...  At first I thought it may have been a DNS resolution issue, but pings to FQDNs work fine
[05:28] <bazhang> choreo, is that related to ubuntu?
[05:29] <evanescent> are there any digital pens which don't require special paper or a tablet and are known to work well on ubuntu
[05:29] <joebodo> DigitalKiwi O.o
[05:29] <DigitalKiwi> joebodo: wut
[05:30] <nalcomis> I have two network cards on the machine.  Using the first one caused Ubuntu to lock up.  Once I stopped using that card and using the second, the machine doesn't lockup anymore, but browsing is still incredibly slow.  It was slow with both cards btw...
[05:31] <bazhang> nalcomis, this is wireless then? which chipset
[05:31] <nalcomis> bazhang, nope...wired
[05:31] <choreo> helo pls help me, i add my acct on pidgin (yahoo) but it is still not working... it appers connecting until now for 20mins
[05:32] <Guest44526> what do i do if i forgot my  username and password
[05:32] <bazhang> choreo, which version of pidgin
[05:32] <joebodo> nalcomis have you narrowed it down to a ubuntu issue -
[05:32] <choreo> 2.4.1 <bazhang
[05:32] <bazhang> !password | Guest44526
[05:33] <nalcomis> I do have a wireless card, but I am not using it.  I wonder if it is an autonegotiation thing or something...  I am going to try to physically set the speed/duplex and IP to see if that helps at all.  Also, the network configuration tool hangs on me.  I have a very fast machine btw...  It isn't a "horsepower" thing...  8gb of memory (yes, I am running the 64bit version)
[05:33] <choreo> pigin 2.4.1 <bazhang>
[05:34] <bazhang> choreo, that is quite an older version, which version of ubuntu are you on
[05:34] <choreo> how can i know the version of my ubuntu...
[05:35] <joebodo> doesnt pidgin require constant updates to keep up with protocol changes ?
[05:36] <bazhang> lsb_release -a in terminal choreo
[05:36] <thedude42> protocols don't change that often, but pidgen does get updated fairly regularly
[05:36] <desnix> i just got xchat-gnome installed, how do i see who is in the channel?
[05:37] <joebodo> IM protocols change pretty frequently in order to break 3rd party clients
[05:37] <Tommi> ah..use the other X-chat
[05:37] <Tommi> not xchat gnome
[05:37] <davesher> i want to connect sifyconnect on ubuntu 9.04 live usb on Acer Aspire 4736
[05:37] <Tommi> i had the same issue...
[05:37] <Tommi> hehe
[05:37] <FloodBot1> Tommi: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:37] <desnix> how do i uninstall this xchat?
[05:37] <Tommi> Your package manager at the top left menu
[05:38] <cfurlin> Anyone using the recent build of epiphany-webkit. Looking for feedback on it.
[05:38] <thedude42> never attribute to meliciousness that which can be attributed to incompetance
[05:38] <davesher> anyone can help me in connecting sify on ubuntu 9.04
[05:38] <joebodo> deliciousness or maliciousness ?
[05:39] <Guest72472> o.o
[05:39] <thedude42> maliciousness... but my point is that breaking 3rd party clients are not a top priority for people writing chat software
[05:39] <joebodo> used to be in the past ... that may have changed though
[05:40] <desnix> ah
[05:40] <desnix> this ones alot better
[05:40] <ugliefrog> hello
[05:40] <adsrikanth> hi, could u pls tell me how to fix sound on ubuntu 9.0.4
[05:40] <adsrikanth> i tried the forums but dint find a fix?
[05:40] <desnix> trying to learn how to use this, i dont feel like wasting $100 for another cdkey for windows xp
[05:40] <ugliefrog> someone give me a hello back so i can test this 9.10 beta
[05:40] <thedude42> in the past MSN was accused of that... as it turns out they were just plugging the holes in their leaky ship because 3rd party clients were better and more feature filled than their cruddy client.... because they protocol leaked all kinds of information in a security-through-obscurity design
[05:41] <ugliefrog> plz
[05:41] <bazhang> ugliefrog, #ubuntu+1 for karmic
[05:41] <skreeves> Hi ugliefrog!
[05:42] <ugliefrog> ty
[05:42] <adsrikanth> hi, could u pls tell me how to fix sound on ubuntu 9.0.4
[05:42] <joebodo> !sound | adsrikanth
[05:42] <nic1> can not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
[05:42] <adsrikanth> @ubottu checking ...
[05:42] <joebodo> is this sound info still relevant ?
[05:43] <davesher> Help me to connect sify broadband on ubuntu 9.04
[05:43] <davesher> Help me to connect sify broadband on ubuntu 9.04
[05:43] <bazhang> davesher, please dont repeat so quickly
[05:43] <nic1> i tried installing package through synaptic, i get warning W: failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/......Could not resolve 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
[05:44] <joebodo> davesher http://www.honeytechblog.com/how-to-connect-broadband-in-ubuntu/

[05:44] <davesher> sorry guys
[05:44] <desnix> i just installed g++, how do i pull it up? im used to visual c++ 2008
[05:44] <teknozwizard> nic1: Means you're not wirelessly connected or your wireless card isn't compatible. Are you wired in?
[05:44] <quellhorst> is there an app to monitor my system's temp? i have supermicro motherboard, case and xeon processors
[05:44] <choreo> 	Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS bazhang
[05:44] <joebodo> !sensors
[05:44] <nic1> no..i am on mobile connection..photon+
[05:44] <thedude42> desnix, g++ is a command line tool
[05:44] <joebodo> quellhorst lmsensors i believe
[05:45] <nickrud> nic1, if web browser works, go to system->admin->software sources and choose another mirror
[05:45] <nic1> ok
[05:45] <desnix> i use it through terminal?
[05:45] <teknozwizard> nic1: Hrm. I had a similary problem, whats your distro ver?
[05:45] <nickrud> \
[05:45] <davesher> joebodo thanks  m trying
[05:45] <eboyjr> How can I make Network Manager applet connect automatically without having me enter the password to unlock the default keyring?
[05:45]  * nickrud has always had bad luck with us archives
[05:45] <nic1> what is the command to check distro?
[05:45] <nickrud> lsb_release -a
[05:45] <eboyjr> Linux
[05:45] <thedude42> desnix, many ide's will use g++, gcc, javac, etc
[05:46] <nic1> 9.04 is my machine
[05:46] <nic1> teknozwizard, how did you sovle your problem?
[05:47] <choreo> 	>wazhang< Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS
[05:47] <evanescent> are there any digital pens which don't require special paper or a tablet and are known to work well on ubuntu
[05:47] <davesher>  joebodo its not work sify has changed its dailer
[05:47] <thedude42> desnix, yes, typically when doing development in linux the command line is used to build parjects, and more often than not make is used as a wrapper for tools like gcc and g++
[05:47] <teknozwizard> nic1: I was running 8.04, and when I upgraded to 9.04, 9.04 automatically had the appropriate drivers to recognize my wireless. Like nickrud said, I chose a different mirror and then pulled the packages that way and it started working perfectly.
[05:47] <davesher>  joebodo that dailer is no longer available
[05:48] <nic1> different mirror meaning?
[05:48] <joebodo> davesher there's a bunch of links shown in google for this issue
[05:48] <nic1> is there any command to install opera on ubuntu?
[05:48] <bazhang> nic1, look in software sources
[05:48] <davesher> i have tried so many but all in ruin
[05:48] <choreo> >bazhang< Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS
[05:48] <thedude42> nic1, apt-get install opera
[05:49] <bazhang> !info opera
[05:49] <bazhang> thedude42, thats not in the repos
[05:49] <Balsaq> sebsebseb: we were talking earlier had to go , now have a few more questions

[05:49] <davesher> any ways thanks
[05:49] <bazhang> !opera | nic1
[05:49] <ScHauFFy> sup bros
[05:49] <thedude42> odd, wonder what repo i have that puts it in there
[05:49] <ScHauFFy> hello everyone!!!
[05:49] <DigitalKiwi> !hello
[05:50] <ScHauFFy> !hello
[05:50] <joebodo> davesher this one is recent - but looks a bit involved: http://binarycare.blogspot.com/2009/08/sify-on-ubuntu-905.html
[05:50] <nic1> in third party sources in s/w sources, they are not checked..archive.canonical.com
[05:50] <thedude42> all i have is multiverse and restricted on top of the rest
[05:50] <nic1> do i need to check them?
[05:51] <thedude42> yeah that will make more things available to you
[05:52] <nic1> hey i tried checking archive.canonical.com on ThirdParty , it's asking for apt liines
[05:52] <nic1> what do i have to give?
[05:52] <ScHauFFy> niggaz
[05:52] <joebodo> !op | schauffy
[05:53] <DigitalKiwi> :/
[05:53] <thedude42> apt lines?
[05:53] <Flannel> ScHauFFy: Please watch your language.  Is there something we can help you with today?
[05:53] <elky> ScHauFFy, oh really now? You may want to find a more appropriate place for that discussion.
[05:53] <Polk330> What is the best Virtualization softwear for ubuntu?
[05:54] <joebodo> flannel sorry should not have cried "op" (yet)
[05:54] <ScHauFFy> yes
[05:54] <ScHauFFy> i need some baotnets
[05:54] <ScHauFFy> botnets
[05:54] <thedude42> Polk330, best is such a subjective term
[05:54] <thedude42> bye bye....
[05:54] <ScHauFFy> i need botnets
[05:54] <bazhang> ScHauFFy, wrong channel for that
[05:54] <Polk330> thedude42, ok.. well what do you reccomend
[05:54] <ScHauFFy> what channel do i got to for botnets?
[05:54] <Dominian> ScHauFFy: That subject is not on-topic for this channel.  Please discontinue the subject.
[05:54] <adsrikanth> @ubottu I tried the alsa mixer but still I couldn't fix the sound
[05:55] <bazhang> ScHauFFy, wrong server as well. please desist
[05:55] <ScHauFFy> ok we wont talk aobut that then
[05:55] <ScHauFFy> lets talk about pussy
[05:55] <pshr_> how to overcome long pathnames in terminal ?
[05:55] <thedude42> Polk330, virtualbox and vmware are some of the simplext to get running and have fully featured desktop operating systems running as virtual hosts
[05:55] <adsrikanth> how to fix sound on ubuntu 9.0.4
[05:56] <gandhi> wait for someone to release drivers for your card
[05:56] <teknozwizard> adsrikanth: You'll need to update your Audio drivers.
[05:56] <pshr_> !sound | adsrikanth
[05:56] <pshr_> how to overcome long pathnames in terminal ?
[05:56] <Polk330> thedude42, rhanks
[05:56] <adsrikanth> are !Players and !MP3 irc channels?
[05:56] <Polk330> thanks*
[05:56] <nic1> hey waht apt-line do i need to give in third party in software souces?
[05:56] <thedude42> pshr_, what are you trying to overcome?
[05:57] <pshr_> i get a total path name like username@username-laptop:~/path/to/filenames/
[05:57] <Rotund> Anyone here have Fluendo DVD player and try it on Karmic?
[05:57] <pshr_> i dont want that path to directories thedude42
[05:57] <thedude42> pshr_, the fact that the path names are long, or that they wrap around your terminal rows?  because that's simply the fact of having long path names
[05:58] <thedude42> pshr_, tab complete allows you to type less....
[05:58] <adsrikanth> ubottu: are !Players and !MP3 IRC channels?
[05:58] <evanescent> are there any digital pens which don't require special paper or a tablet and are known to work well on ubuntu
[05:58] <pshr_> thedude42, there is definitely a way to overcome those ones and just obtain the final directory names you are in instead of the path right from the /home/username
[05:59] <ayman> k
[05:59] <Rotund> Fluendo DVD is crashing for me on startup
[05:59] <joebodo> evanescent you might want to post a question on the ubuntu forums for that question
[05:59] <pshr_> I dont know how thats all
[05:59] <ixian_> adsrikanth, no they are commands for ubottu, type them in channel or msg the bot
[05:59] <bazhang> evanescent, you could check the hcl
[05:59] <evanescent> hcl?
[05:59] <adsrikanth> !MP3
[05:59] <bazhang> !hcl | evanescent
[05:59] <adsrikanth> !sOUND
[05:59] <thedude42> pshr_, if you want to reference a file/directory you use absolute paths, starting at root ( / ) or you use relative, referencing from your current working directory
[06:00] <thedude42> use ../ as a shortcut for your parent directory
[06:00] <Doonz> Hey guys, I wrote my first successful script and have it set up with a cron job, now heres my question, I have the job set up to create a log. Is there a way to get it so when the job is ran it displays within a screen? Basically so when cron runs the job it would be like i ran it manually?
[06:00] <evanescent> thanks
[06:00] <davesher> help:::::::        sifyconnect: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory::::::::::::::: can any one tell me how to solve this
[06:00] <evanescent> digital pens aren't listed under input devices though
[06:00] <pshr_> its not about referencing the directories, its just that it looks awkward when i need to navigate to deeper directories my terminals all filled up with the path
[06:01] <digital_rouge> can someone help i have a hard drive that is corrupt and wont partition please im me if ya have some tricks
[06:01] <eboyjr> How can I make Network Manager applet connect automatically without having me enter the password to unlock the default keyring?
[06:01] <thedude42> pshr_, if you are using a common path prefix, like say /usr/local/someapp/somedir , you can simply create an environment variable that is that path and then reference the files as $variable/filesyouwant
[06:01] <Billiard> eboyjr: keyring settings?
[06:01] <joebodo> Doonz you could add this to your script: xterm -e tail -f <your log file>
[06:02] <joebodo> Doonz that would open a new xterm window with the contents of the log file
[06:02] <skreeves> pshr_, do you mean you don't want to see the long paths in your command line prompt?
[06:02] <davesher> help:::::::        sifyconnect: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory::::::::::::::: can any one tell me how to solve this
[06:02] <pshr_> absolutely skreeves
[06:02] <thedude42> pshr_, are you talking about your shell prompt?  like, you don't want your current working directory in your shell prompt?
[06:02] <eboyjr> Billiard: Where is that? I looked and I didn't see anything in 'Encryption and Keyrings' under 'Preferences'.
[06:03] <pshr_> there you go thedude42 that's what i was trying to convey.. my bad.. if i messed it up
[06:03] <stebalien> eboyjr:  Check the 'Available to all users' box.  This will store the key in a configuration file, not the keyring.
[06:03] <thedude42> pshr_, you need to edit your .bashrc or .cshrc file
[06:03] <pshr_> to ?
[06:03] <Doonz> joebodo:  ok let me elaborate a lil more. On my server im currently logged into a screen session with 4 windows. is it possible to have it so when that cronjob is ran it creates a window # and displays whats going on
[06:04] <thedude42> pshr_, you need to find the line that defines your prompt, and remove the part that puts your current working directory in it
[06:04] <Doonz> window # = window 5
[06:04] <stebalien> eboyjr:  you can also have the keyring unlocked when you login. (ubuntuforums.org will have instructions).
[06:04] <davesher> help:::::::        sifyconnect: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory::::::::::::::: can any one tell me how to solve this
[06:04] <skreeves> pshr_, try setting the PROMPT_DIRTRIM variable to some number
[06:05] <Balsaq> !9.10
[06:05] <eboyjr> stebalien: Thanks I checked the box under Connection Information, then selecting Edit and it was at the bottom.
[06:05] <Balsaq> !9.10
[06:05] <skreeves> that will ellipsize the working path in your prompt
[06:06] <Balsaq> will 9.0 increase the footprint on my HD over 9.04?
[06:06] <pshr_> skreeves, thedude42 .. i am lost
[06:06] <joebodo> Doonz it is possible to attach to a screen session - but i have not done that before - you could just leave a screen session up with a tail of that log in it
[06:06] <bazhang> Balsaq, #ubuntu+1 for karmic support
[06:06] <Balsaq> bazhang what is that
[06:07] <nomad111> hey all, how do i reload a document in vi/vim
[06:07] <nomad111> or less
[06:07] <bazhang> Balsaq, it is the channel for karmic (9.10) discussion and support
[06:07] <Balsaq> ok ty
[06:08] <nomad111> i have a log file that i want to keep reloading without closing and reopening it all the time
[06:08] <Madcamper> is there a iso mounter program for linux out there?
[06:08] <Doonz> ok so if i create window 5, xterm -e tail -f <your log file> <-- i just type that into the window and it will show whats going on?
[06:08] <joebodo> nomad111 vi!
[06:08] <Doonz> joebodo:  ok so if i create window 5, xterm -e tail -f <your log file> <-- i just type that into the window and it will show whats going on?
[06:08] <joebodo> nomad111 you might want to just run tail -f <filename> instead
[06:08] <skreeves> pshr_, "export PROMPT_DIRTRIM=3" will only show 3 levels deep of directories in your prompt
[06:08] <codyzapp> yall remember how to compile just "xchat" without the gnome-xchat? i blanked out
[06:09] <nomad111> joebodo: i usually want to scroll up and down the log
[06:09] <nomad111> tail -f just works by appending and showing the last N lines
[06:09] <pshr_> should there be a $ ?
[06:09] <pshr_> like $PROMPT_DIRTRIM
[06:09] <joebodo> Doonz if you already have a screen session, you just need the "tail -f filename"
[06:10] <thedude42> pshr_, i beleive the environment variable that sets the prompt in the .bashrc file is $PROMPT_COMMAND
[06:10] <joebodo> nomad111 vi! will reload the current file
[06:10] <joebodo> nomad111 (in vi)
[06:10] <Doonz> kool thank you
[06:10] <ayman> hi

[06:11] <digital_rouge> iv tried it
[06:11] <ayman> am  ubuntu
[06:11] <digital_rouge> wiht no sucess
[06:12] <nalcomis> I recently installed a fresh version of Ubuntu 9.0.4 on my machine.  The box locks up randomly and I can't figure out why..  At first I thought it was a network driver issue, but it looks like that isn't the case.  Anyone have any ideas?
[06:12] <Bluey> ayman system/administratin/user and groups
[06:12] <JohnLocke> ayman: which username and password?
[06:12] <ayman> host name
[06:12] <ayman> and login name
[06:12] <ayman> and
[06:12] <ayman> root name
[06:12] <MenZa> !enter | ayman
[06:12] <JohnLocke> sudo nano /etc/hosts
[06:13] <Doonz> ok stupid question im want to rename my windows in screen. when i look at the help file i found in google,... wth is this combination "C-a A"
[06:13] <ayman> ok sir
[06:13] <KnifeySpooney> What is the difference between rsync and cp?
[06:13] <Bluey> Doonz - no clue...
[06:13] <JohnLocke> ayman: to change your hostname you can do: $ sudo nano /etc/hosts
[06:14] <skreeves> Doonz, control-A then A
[06:14] <Bluey> knifey rsync does a backup of files, while cp just copies it
[06:14] <Bluey> i think I have an rsync script....
[06:14] <ayman> and can me change may login name
[06:15] <Bluey> knifey -- http://pkill-9.com/wordpress/?p=81
[06:15] <Doonz> if i do control a a it just switchs to the last window
[06:15] <Doonz> i want to rename the window
[06:15] <Bluey> ayman system/admininstration/user and groups
[06:15] <JohnLocke> ayman: sorry, it's /etc/hostname, not /etc/hosts
[06:16] <ayman> ok thanks
[06:17] <skreeves> Doonz, control-a then capital A
[06:17] <nickrud> JohnLocke, need to change both.
[06:17] <Doonz> ahh
[06:17] <KnifeySpooney> Bluey: But what is the difference between backing up and copying? aren't those just synonyms?
[06:17] <tv7497> kcsrnd: hello sir ! just woke up ! yeah i have installed samba ! now all i need to do is to take my crossover cable plug it in to lappy and ?
[06:17] <Bluey> knifey -- do a man rsync
[06:17] <Bluey> and read up on it's much more powerful then copy...
[06:18] <pshr_> thedude42, skreeves the environment variables is PS1
[06:18] <nickrud> cp can be used for backups, but rsync is designed from the ground up for it
[06:18] <pshr_> and i need to change the 'w' to 'W' thats all
[06:18] <pshr_> thanks any ways gues
[06:18] <pshr_> guys :)
[06:18] <pshr_> good day
[06:18] <FloodBot1> pshr_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:18] <Bluey> knifey  -- lots more options with rsync
[06:18] <Bluey> look at the script...
[06:19] <thedude42> pshr_, i'm pretty sure that PS1 is not the thing that generates your current working directory
[06:19] <Madcamper> has anyone been able to get microsoft expression web installed on ubuntu?
[06:20] <Madcamper> or an .iso that would be for microsoft, like visual studio?
[06:20] <JohnLocke> nickrud: correct
[06:20] <joebodo> !microsoft
[06:21] <luca> ubuntu italy help server
[06:21] <joebodo> !it | luca
[06:21] <tv7497> Madcamper: well thats the last thing you wanna do ! what i did was set up a windows in vbox and used my expression and VS08 there
[06:22] <Madcamper> oh ok
[06:22] <Madcamper> ill try that
[06:23] <tv7497> Madcamper: :)
[06:23] <imz76> i am trying to install java from http://www.java.com/en/download/help/5000010500.xml#selfextracting
[06:23] <imz76> still not successful
[06:24] <joebodo> imz76 are you looking for a specific version of java ?
[06:24] <stebalien> imz76:  why not 'sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre'
[06:25] <joebodo> imz76 or sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[06:26] <imz76> so i have to look for sun-java6-jdk first
[06:26] <alienjeff> Can someone help me so I can dual boot Windows XP and Puppy Linux?
[06:26] <joebodo> !dualboot
[06:26] <alienjeff> But I don't want to dual boot Ubuntu and XP. I want to dual boot Puppy Linux and XP.
[06:26] <stebalien> imz76:  jdk is for development. jre is for end users.
[06:27] <oldude67> then you need to go to puppy linux help channel
[06:27] <joebodo> alienjeff odd you would pick the ubuntu forum for that question then
[06:27] <imz76> i suppose jre, because i'm going to install omnet++ after that
[06:27] <bazhang> alienjeff, there is a puppy linux channel on freenode, that would be the appropriate place to ask for support
[06:27] <alienjeff> joebodo:  Just curious how strick your on-topic policy was.
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> alienjeff:  Very strict. :P
[06:28] <alienjeff> Dr_Willis:  heh
[06:28] <chetnick> i am having problem viewing some .doc file for school (math) some caracters are  displayed as ?. Can anyone tell me is there a posible way to view this in  OpenOffice. Here is the file.  http://rapidshare.com/files/291426237/M174_t2_sample.doc.html
[06:28] <alienjeff> Dr_Willis:  ...not to mention ghey
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> When you get 1000+ people in a channel - you havve to keep it on topic.
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> There will be 3000+ here on release day i imagine.
[06:29] <alienjeff> Dr_Willis:  Someone in #puppylinux was asking about you the other day ... forgot exactly who, but I told them you had passed away.
[06:29] <oldude67> i will be here to watch all the panic..lmao
[06:29] <joebodo> chetnick you may want to install the ms fonts - you can install them using the ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:29] <alienjeff> Dr_Willis:  I hope that's alright.
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> alienjeff:  guess they couldent they do a /whois dr_willis :)  and see where i was at.
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> alienjeff:  been in #ubuntu+1 mainly.
[06:30] <Brack10> I borked a video card driver install and now I get 0 display when I boot. .  How can I boot into text mode and repair the drivers?  Ubuntu 9.04 GeForce GT6600
[06:30] <MenZa> Dr_Willis: Careful with the offtopic there.
[06:30] <MenZa> ;)
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> MenZa:  its OT to mention OT.
[06:30] <alienjeff> MenZa:  Are you in Mensa or just a wannabe?
[06:30] <MenZa> alienjeff: Neither. Also, -offtopic for your offtopic needs.
[06:31] <chetnick> joebodo: nope, already tried that.
[06:31] <joebodo> !offtopic | alienjeff
[06:31] <Dr_Willis> Brack10:  how did you 'bork' it?
[06:32] <Brack10> Dr_Willis: Lost power during install
[06:32] <Madcamper> tv7497, do i have to have a xp iso in order for it to emulate it?
[06:33] <Viking667> well, THAT was easy enough.... just stuck the DVD in, added the media, and now I'm busy adding packages. Thank you....
[06:33] <tv7497> Madcamper: pardon me ! i didnt understand the previous post !
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> Brack10:  eww... That could be bad.  You could try remove/reinstallin git via the command line. actually You may want do  do a 'sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade' from the command line. It might see the breakage and fix things.
[06:33] <Brack10> Dr_Willis: How can I boot in text mode?
[06:33] <alienjeff> Dr_Willis:  Be well, man.
[06:33] <alienjeff> Hope that wasn't OT
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> alienjeff:  have fun. :)
[06:33] <Dr_Willis> Brack10:   you cant even get to 'rescue' mode from the grub prompts?
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> or recovery mode - or whatever they call it now.
[06:34] <Madcamper> um, like do i need a seperate file to have XP run in the vbox?
[06:34] <Brack10> Dr_Willis: Right
[06:34] <Brack10> no VESA display at all
[06:34] <Dr_Willis> Brack10:   what do you mean no vesa display? You cant even see the 'console' shell/login: ?
[06:34] <wavez> can someone tell me the name of the internet text browser?
[06:35] <MenZa> wavez: elinks is one. lynx is another. links is a third.
[06:35] <maco> wavez: the included one is w3m. there is also lynx and links2
[06:35] <Brack10> Dr_Willis: Right
[06:35] <Brack10> Dr_Willis: just blank as soon as you get past grub
[06:35] <Brack10> it's not like X won't start
[06:35] <stebalien> wavez:  type 'www-browser in the terminal
[06:35] <Brack10> it's just totally blank
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> Brack10:   You may want to edit the grub boot lines and append 'nosplash' and 'nofb' to the end.. but its possible that somthing deeper is broken.
[06:36] <subone> Jordan_U: Yes I am using compiz
[06:36] <Brack10> I don't think spash is an issue
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> Brack10:  you could boot a live cd, and fsck your filesystems, then chroot into the installed system. and try repairs  from that chrooted shell.
[06:36] <Brack10> what's nofb?
[06:36] <Brack10> ok
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> fb = framebuffer.. Normally disabled..but  its good to make sure its really disabled.
[06:37] <Madcamper> with vbox, how do i make it run XP? do i need an XP iso?
[06:37] <Brack10> but I mean there has to be a way to boot in pure text mode
[06:37] <stebalien> Madcamper:  or the cd.
[06:37] <Brack10> since grub works
[06:37] <Madcamper> ok
[06:37] <Brack10> ok I'll give it a try
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> Brack10:  if the login 'program' or somthingbasic got trashed by th4e power outage.. well it cant run the proper commands to login.
[06:37] <joebodo> brack10 you can also try control-alt-F1
[06:37] <wavez> MenZa: thanks. stabalien: I keep getting the options list. I'm looking for the run option :)
[06:37] <Dr_Willis> grub is on the MBR and a few files.. You can have grub 'work' wth no OS at all
[06:37] <Brack10> joebodo: no opening a new virtual console doesn't work
[06:37] <subone> I have another question. When Watching a video through banshee media player my displays go into standby mode after a while. How can I stop this from happening when I'm watching a video?
[06:37] <Brack10> like I said it's not a problem with X
[06:38] <Dr_Willis> Power Failures while Upgrading... are.. not good.. :)
[06:38] <Brack10> ok off to try again
[06:38] <joebodo> subone there's an applet called caffiene (sp) that's supposed to address that
[06:38] <subone> joebodo: Applet for gnome-panel or what?
[06:39] <joebodo> subone yes - ill see if i can find it ...
[06:39] <wavez> ah, nm
[06:39] <wavez> I got it
[06:39] <joebodo> subone http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/08/caffeine-delay-screensaversuspend.html
[06:39] <subone> yeah i found it at the same time i'll look into this ty
[06:39] <wavez> how the heck do I fill in a text field with this thing...
[06:40] <wavez> ok, got it now
[06:41] <wavez> thanks folks
[06:42] <Mqueue> hello
[06:43] <joebodo> hi | mqueue
[06:43] <KnifeySpooney> Are there any folders to avoid if I wanted to copy my Ubuntu profile settings from one Ubuntu computer to the other? E.g., copy /home/jared/* to a new desktop?
[06:43] <Mqueue> is there a way to bind my PC to the domain name that i have ? it's asking for namesever information
 hey bud
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> KnifeySpooney:  thats the user settings. all in /home/username
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> KnifeySpooney:  if you copy them toanother box. you might need to 'chown' them tobe owned by the proper users on that box. Since the 'uid' may be different
[06:44] <KnifeySpooney> Dr_Willis:  Yes, that's why I would like to copy over my profile to the other computer. Is it ok to simply copy the whole folder and my settings will be set the same as they are on the first?
[06:45] <KnifeySpooney> Dr_Willis:  Ok
[06:46] <d1g1t4l_nrg> hey all
[06:46] <Dr_Willis> KnifeySpooney:  thats one of the joys of linux. the user stuff is very much kept in  the users /home/username  - Not skattered all over. :)
[06:47] <d1g1t4l_nrg> can anyone assist with dvd's not playing in U 9.04
[06:47] <KnifeySpooney> Dr_Willis: Yes, I love it. Makes things a lot easier when reinstalling Ubuntu (karmic left me unbootable)
[06:48] <d1g1t4l_nrg> can anyone help with this ?
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> !dvd
[06:50] <d1g1t4l_nrg> excellent thanks.
[06:50] <subone> thanks joebodo!
[06:50] <joebodo> subone no problem
[06:50] <Mqueue> can anyone help me with name server to point to my ubuntu
[06:51] <subone> Do you know how I can stop my screens going blank for a second when fullscreen video is playing and another window needs attention?
[06:52] <subone> Someone earlier suggested it may have something to do with compiz, i'm gonna test that theory now
[06:52] <Dr_Willis> Mqueue:  you mean the DNS server? normally your isp supplies those autmatcally. Or you could use the OPENDNS servers.
[06:52] <libtech> how can I configure multi-touch features of my touchpad, i mostly want to be able to navigate back and forward in firefox using multi-touch
[06:52] <subone> yeah looks like something about compiz is the culprit there
[06:53] <subone> Is there anyway i can run emerald without compiz?
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> Mqueue: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>  and nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>   for OpenDNS
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> subone:  Not that ive ever seen.
[06:53] <Mqueue> so i put these ip's on opensrs where my domain is parked
[06:53] <Mqueue> Dr Willis>> so i put these ip's on opensrs where my domain is parked
[06:53] <joebodo> subone perhaps you could disable whatever module in compiz that is causing the issue
[06:53] <Dr_Willis> Mqueue:  no idea what you are doing..  never heard of OpenSRS
[06:54] <subone> darn, maybe i can disable some plugins in compiz to fix it
[06:54] <subone> joebodo: yeah what you said
[06:54] <joebodo> subone :)
[06:54] <joebodo> subone good luck in ccsm - well see you back in 3 days or so
[06:54] <Mqueue> Dr Willis>> I'm just trying to point my www.whatever.com website to point to my local PC
[06:54] <KnifeySpooney> If I wanted to reinstall Ubuntu with the same settings, are there any files other than the ones included in /home/USER/ that I should need, like /boot/grub/menu.lst or /etc/fstab?
[06:55] <Mqueue> Dr Willis>> is that possible ?
[06:55] <FLAC> Mqueue, afraid.org
[06:55] <Dr_Willis> Mqueue:  no idea on that. Never done that befor.   THe various DynamicDNS/IP sites can do that. but thats all i know on the topic
[06:55] <amirman> hi, i'm just curious about something, when  i update i'm getting some kind of PGP key error though i'm pretty sure all my keys are authenticated but i was looking through my 3rd party sources and i was just wondering, what the heck is TURL? i don't remember installing anything called TURL
[06:55] <joebodo> mqueue you need to update your dns provider with your ip address
[06:55] <nickrud> !clone | KnifeySpooney
[06:55] <maco> amirman: is it "The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[06:56] <Bookman> I have downloaded the iso image file and I have a non-bootable usb drive.  How can I install Ubuntu 9.10 Beta without burning a CD?
[06:56] <Mqueue> joebodo>> i'm there at the dns provider right and it's saying that name server which was n2.powweb.com but i don't have a name server so what should i do ?
[06:56] <amirman> maco: i don't think that's what it read. it may be though
[06:56] <maco> run "sudo apt-get update" and see if thats what it says
[06:56] <amirman> maco: i'll have to let this update finish and try to update again to say for sure
[06:57] <maco> amirman: ok
[06:57] <joebodo> mqueue it's pretty provider specific how to update the IP/DNS combination
[06:57] <Bookman> Maybe not possible?
[06:58] <Mqueue> joebodo>> yea on the left it says name server on the right it says ip but IP section is not available to be typed into
[06:58] <joebodo> mqueue if you have a dynamic IP address (provided by your ISP), you might want to look at a service like dyndns.org
[06:59] <joebodo> !dynamic ip
[06:59] <Mqueue> joebodo >> let me check it out

[07:01] <amirman> maco: yeah, that's what it looks like to me. i have two 3rd party sources from launchpad ppas though, one if for gnome-do, the other is for TURL, i have no idea what turl is though, anyone have a clue?
[07:01] <Dr_Willis> boscop:  check the vlc menus/settings it proberly depends on what settings you mean. There is also a PPA of vlc 1.0x i recall that has some newer vlc/features
[07:02] <joebodo> !turl
[07:02] <Evelina> Is it possible to show clockable links in Conky? I mean, does Conky only output text or is it possible to output html links in some way?

 yes i think i'm very close now hehehe..thx
[07:02] <Evelina> I want a list of feed links on my desktop that will open up in a browser when I click on the links.
[07:02] <boscop> Dr_Masters: I mean volume and window position
[07:03] <amirman> maco: thanks, my google searches are turning up a little, not entirely clear yet though, your command fixed the issue though, thanks for that.
[07:03] <Dr_Masters> what, boscop?
[07:03] <joebodo> evelina there's about a 10,000 thread post on ubuntu forums for conky - ive seen it display html content in some of the screenshot
[07:03] <boscop> Dr_Masters: it should remember my volume settings and window position of vlc

[07:04] <FLAC> Mqueue, if you have a dynamic IP, you can run an update client to update your IP automatically. apt-get install inadyn
[07:04] <Dr_Masters> I am having trouble killing an internet connection.  I tried the command "$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 down" but nothing happened
[07:04] <darthanubis> Dr_Masters, unplug
[07:04] <Dr_Masters> lol
[07:05] <darthanubis> ;)
 just installed it as a matter of fact
 just donno what to do with it..lol
[07:05] <Jeruvy> Dr_Masters: try sudo ifdown wlan0
[07:05] <Dr_Masters> I just need to kill my wireless internet connection and I don't get why that command wont do it
[07:05] <subone> joebodo: looks like even with all the modules turned off including window decorator, it still does it
[07:05] <Dr_Masters> okay
[07:05] <Dr_Masters> if I log out, thanks, it worked
[07:06] <joebodo> subone ugh - must be compiz itself then (unfortunately)
[07:06] <subone> ok, well at least i know what it is

[07:07] <Polk330> on ubuntu
[07:07] <Dr_Masters> gtkpod!
[07:08] <soreau> subone: It's more likely your graphics drivers are at fault, a bug that compiz may be exposing. Do you use proprietary drivers?
[07:08] <amirman> is it possible to update 9.04 to the 9.10 beta?
[07:08] <Jeruvy> Dr_Masters: does iwconfig show wlan0 as your correct interface?
[07:08] <mewshi> I messed up GRUB so I'm going to reinstall it
[07:08] <Polk330> blah..gtkpod
[07:08] <joebodo> airmain update-manager -d
[07:09] <blue-pearl> mewshi: do u have dual boot & did u reinstall windows?
[07:09] <Dr_Masters> Jeruvy, it is the only one with anything listed besides "no wireless extensions" it looks good to me
[07:09] <Fezzler> You Tube video in Firefox is "jumpy"  how do I fix?
[07:09] <mewshi> no
[07:10] <mewshi> I changed partitions
[07:10] <joebodo> !flash
[07:10] <mewshi> I just need to reinstall grub
[07:10] <mewshi> so that it's pointing to the proper partitions
[07:10] <Dr_Masters> mewshi, use your live cd
[07:10] <mewshi> That's what I'm doing.  But I want to JUST install grub again and have it point to the proper partition
[07:10] <blue-pearl> mewshi: use live cd...
[07:11] <om26er> Fezzler: using netbook?
[07:11] <FLAC> Mqueue: This is the format http://paste2.org/p/462877. Put that in /etc/inadyn.conf. Just login to your account at afraid.org to find your hash
[07:11] <Jeruvy> Dr_Masters: can you not deselect it from the network connections icon in the panel?  ie: uncheck it?
[07:11] <blue-pearl> mewshi; in terminal... type grub
[07:11] <Fezzler> om26er>> Nope.
[07:11] <amirman> mewshi: get super grub boot disc, it's got me out of many grub jams before
[07:11] <Fezzler> om26er>> PC.
[07:11] <blue-pearl> mewshi: sudo grub
[07:11] <om26er> Fezzler: graphics card?
[07:11] <om26er> Fezzler: intel
[07:12] <Mqueue> put "http://paste2.org/p/462877" exactly like this in the config file ?
[07:12] <blue-pearl> mewshi: find /boot/grub/stage1
[07:12] <Dr_Masters> Jeruvy Yeah, I could, but I have to do it from the command line, don't ask why.  I can always just kill the NetworkManager, but I would rather do it the "right" way
[07:12] <Fezzler> om26er>> PC.  AMD.  Graphics.  nvidia
[07:12] <om26er> Fezzler: then there should be no problem i think
[07:12] <blue-pearl> mewshi: find /boot/grub/stage1 wil show u hdd and partition
[07:12] <om26er> Fezzler: can it be you network problem?
[07:12] <Jeruvy> Dr_Masters: I'm not disputing your desire, just trying to offer a method that wants to work ;)
[07:12] <Fezzler> om26er>> slightly jumpy - watchable - just not smooth as it had been
[07:13] <Fezzler> om26er>> No.  network fine
[07:13] <om26er> Fezzler: try karmic beta
[07:13] <amirman> joebodo: thank you
[07:13] <quellhorst> how do you guys keep up with warranties for hardware?
[07:13] <Fezzler> om26er>> what is that?
[07:14] <om26er> Fezzler: latest upcoming ubuntu
[07:14] <Dr_Willis> quellhorst:  Huh?
[07:14] <om26er> Fezzler: ubuntu9.10
[07:14] <quellhorst> Dr_Willis: if you have racks full of equipment, how do you keep up with what is under warranty when it dies
[07:14] <Fezzler> om26er>> I'll wait.  I'm not a beta person
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> quellhorst:  i guess you keep a notefile/database if you have a lot of stuff.
[07:15] <om26er> Fezzler: ok.. how about you try to install google chrome and then see your video works fine
[07:15] <quellhorst> Dr_Willis: i dont need guesses
[07:15] <Polk330> What is the reccomended Music Player/library for Ubutnu
[07:15] <joebodo> !offtopic | quellhorst
[07:15] <mewshi> what do I do with /boot/grub/stage1?
[07:15] <seight> how do i report a bug in 9.10
[07:15] <Fezzler> om26er>> really?
[07:15] <Dr_Willis> quellhorst:  time to hit google then i guess.
[07:15] <Evelina> joebodo: Yeah, but I know Conky is able to display HTML content, but did you really see it display working links to web sites?
[07:15] <quellhorst> yeah :(
[07:15]  * Dr_Willis does use a notebook.
[07:15] <om26er> Fezzler: yes give it a try works better for me
[07:16] <Madcamper> with vbox, how would i mount a external drive within it?
[07:16]  * nickrud uses a filedrawer
[07:16] <Madcamper> im running XP through it
[07:16] <joebodo> Evenlina not sure about links - i havent tried to do that
[07:16] <mewshi> can someone tell me what to do with /boot/grub/stage1?
[07:16] <Dr_Willis> Evelina:  conky display html? ive never seen that..  never seen it display links either.. Might have to check out the conky pages again.
[07:16] <Jordan_U> mewshi: What are you trying to do?
[07:16] <nickrud> mewshi, you shouldn't be doing anything directly
[07:17] <mewshi> I'm trying to just reinstall GRUB
[07:17] <Jordan_U> !grub | mewshi
[07:17] <Polk330> Any one? What do you reccomend for a Music player/library?
[07:17] <mewshi> I just have one quick question, then
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> Polk330:  theres a dozen to choose from.   I tend touse audacious
[07:17] <Jordan_U> !poll | Polk330
[07:17] <joebodo> polk330 i like songbird - but some people find it too heavy
[07:17] <amirman> Polk330: banshee is really nice, songbird is also really awesome
[07:17] <seight> how do i report a bug in 9.10
[07:17] <Dr_Willis> I cant get songbird to work on ubuntu most of the time... had issues with it lately
[07:18] <Polk330> Jordan_U, im not Polling.
[07:18] <mewshi> I have unallocated space that I'm going to expand the NTFS partition into.  Will this affect where grub boots from?
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> !bug
[07:18] <Dr_Willis> mewshi:  it shouldent.. unless you add/remove partitions.
[07:18] <quellhorst> is there a raid utility for lsi logic cards?
[07:18] <Evelina> Dr_Willis: I don't know. I want to have a Feed reader set up using Conky, but then I need links that really works, not just a line of text from a feed.
[07:19] <Dr_Willis> Evelina:  ive never seen links in conky. not sure if thatss ever going tobe a feature
[07:19] <joebodo> evelina perhaps you could try the different gadgets
[07:20] <Madcamper> with vbox, how would i mount a external drive within it? I'm running xp through it
[07:20] <joebodo> evelina gdesklets, screenlets, or the google gadgets
[07:20] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. i wonder if theres an RSS screen saver.
[07:21] <Jordan_U> Madcamper: Do you want the guest to controll the external device or do you want to mount the drive in the host and share it to the guest?
[07:21] <linuxguy2009> Hello I was wondering if I want to turn my netbook on its side when reading books, is there a way to flip trackpad axis when rotating the screen?
[07:21] <Dr_Willis> linuxguy2009:  been reading comic books? :)
[07:21] <Madcamper> anyone?
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> linuxguy2009:  ive not seen a way to do that.. (yet) but  the wife took my netbook soi havent checked into   it in the last month.
[07:22] <m0r0n> Where are the programs installed into, ie for windows it's Program Files
[07:22] <assoly> linuxguy2009: шфь штекуыеув шт ершы йгуыешщт ещщ
[07:22] <linuxguy2009> Dr_Willis: haha no comic books
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> m0r0n:  depends on the program there is no one single DUmping place.
[07:22] <assoly> linuxguy2009: i am intrested in this question too
[07:22] <m0r0n> Dr_Willis: Nexuiz, a game
[07:22] <Dr_Willis> m0r0n:  windows has a bad habbit of not just using ProgramFiles also. :)
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> m0r0n:  check the package manager. it can show you exactly what files it installed where.
[07:23] <Jordan_U> m0r0n: You can see where the files are with "dpkg -L <package name>"
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> m0r0n:  why do you even need to know where?
[07:23] <Evelina> joebodo: Yeah, I don't like the gdesklets or screenlets, but maybe Google Gadgets.
[07:23] <m0r0n> Dr_Willis:  It gives you the files, and I don't want to leave them on my desktop so I'd like to move it to an appropriate location
[07:23] <Dr_Willis> Evelina:  Opera also has gadgets
[07:24] <Dr_Willis> m0r0n:  'on my dektop' ? you mean icons on your desktop or what exactly?
[07:24] <joebodo> Evelina yes - i dont like the 2 either
[07:24] <Jordan_U> m0r0n: Did you install nexius with the package manager?
[07:24] <m0r0n> Dr_Willis: When you download Nexuiz, it gives you a ZIP of all the fiiles        Jordan_U:  No
[07:25] <Jordan_U> m0r0n: Why not? It's available
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> m0r0n:  then you shold either have it install to /opt/ OR keep it in the users home dir under /home/username/GAMES or someplace
[07:25] <m0r0n> Jordan_U: It's outdated I believe
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> m0r0n:  dont just grab the .zip and try to install it into system dirs.. keep it in /opt/ or the users own personal space.
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> Best = keep it in the users own home.
[07:26] <m0r0n> Dr_Willis: I'
[07:26] <m0r0n> Dr_Willis: I'd like the guest users to also access it though
[07:26] <Jordan_U> m0r0n: 2.5 is available at getdeb.net
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> m0r0n:  then put it in /opt/ or some where apart from the system
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> I tend to use DJL  to get 'unofficial/new' games  http://en.djl-linux.org/
[07:27] <Jordan_U> m0r0n: The .deb file from getdeb will install normally
[07:29] <Jordan_U> m0r0n: http://www.getdeb.net/app/Nexuiz
[07:29] <m0r0n> Jordan_U: Bah. Well I have it, whatever, thanks anyways. What other games are being used widley that's free and FPS
[07:29] <m0r0n> Dr_Willis: Thanks
 u're the best !!
[07:30] <Mqueue> i got it to work..
[07:30] <FLAC> :}
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> DJL has uodated Nexuiz on 10/10/2009 :)

[07:40] <cody> Hi all. I have two things frozen on my panel. One has a video symbol. The other is a KDE symbol. Neither allow me to close. What is another way to close only those to apps (p.s. no GUI avaible for them)
[07:40] <Evelina> joebodo: Well, I have to search for this another day. I don't have time getting this to work right now.
[07:41] <Evelina> Dr_Willis: Ok, I don't use Opera at all.
[07:43] <hullo> hello i have a device in /dev/sdb  i know that bc i used Gparted to find it, what is the "correct" way to find something like that out
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> hullo:  i tend to use 'sudo fdisk -l'
[07:44] <Viking667> hullo: hm. You could use lshw, and look down the list. That'll show you (in terminal mode) what there is.
[07:44] <Dr_Willis> hullo:  or ls -l /dev/disk/by-SOMTHING
[07:45] <hullo> thanks, trying to be less lame haha

[07:45] <toner> Hi, when I reboot my Ubuntu 8.04 box, the menu in grub is empty, none of the usual choices of kernel are there. I can't find anything about this on google. What should I do next?
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> toner:  so the system dosent boot at all?
[07:46] <toner> Dr_Willis: it boots to the grub menu, which is empty
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> toner:  I would guess the menu.lst is  some how gotten trashed. Not sure how that could happen
[07:47] <OneH> can somebody help me plz?
[07:47] <jbuncher> !ask | OneH
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> toner:  its not black with black text however?  I saw that once... system booted if ya hit enter.. but just dident look that way
[07:47] <OneH> its not strictly related to ubuntu, but i think my dns server is down. i need the ip for an open dns server and also the ip address for the settings for a buffalo router
[07:47] <toner> Dr_Willis: no, i press enter and nothing happens.
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> OneH:  nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> OneH:  those are for 'opendns'
[07:48] <toner> Dr_Willis: if menu.lst is trashed and I go to the grub command line to explicitly tell it where the kernel is, how do I work out what location for the kernel to specify? (Thanks for your help btw)
[07:48] <OneH> okay, cool. do you happen to have the ip for google or could you possible google the ip for a buffalo router?
[07:50] <skreeves> OneH: <IP_ADDRESS> for a Buffalo?
[07:50] <Segalp> Hello, anybody here speak Russian?)
[07:50] <OneH> i think thats it, ty
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> toner:  thge grub command line has some sort of 'find , or locate command you can look for /boot/vmlinuz perhaps.
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> toner:  the grub homepage has docs on the cli features and reinstalling grub. You might want to boot a live cd and se eif theres a menu.lst or if its totally empoty
[07:52] <OneH> hmm. thats weird. must not be the dns. for some reason i cant access anything on the web and yet i'm still on irc, but that isnt actually the problem cuz i cant even access <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:53] <starke> OneH,  service iptables stop
[07:53] <toner> Dr_Willis: okay, i'll boot a live cd and explore the hard disk.
[07:53] <OneH> im on win7
[07:54] <bening> 0neh > maybe your connection is getting slow, use the stronger modem
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> OneH:  im not uer why but ive seen other cases where people can access IRC but not other web sites - not sureif the irc clients cache the IP of the irc servers or how ithappens
[07:55] <OneH> not sure either, but its quite annoying. im gonna try rebooting

[08:09] <KnifeySpooney> how much space does a default liveUSB of Ubuntu take? I know the livecd takes up approx. 700MB, and I don't want to waste a CD. I have 1.4GB left on a USB drive. Is this enough for the image when everything is expanded for a liveusb?
[08:10] <iceroot> hipitihop: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[08:10] <helius> trying the ubuntu live cd, no sound
[08:11] <helius> on a usb
[08:11] <nomad-> my keyboard stopped working, both in X and in recovery mode on 9.10. i'm getting "usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -110". what's the correct approach to take here?
[08:11] <iceroot> nomad-: #ubuntu+1
[08:12] <hipitihop> iceroot: thanks will give it a go, is it likely to clobber any existing startup configurations ?
[08:12] <nomad-> thanks
[08:13] <iceroot> hipitihop: no, you have to choose that it is staring gnome by hand
[08:13] <scm422_> Anyone here tell me in there opinion, what is the best DVD authoring program for ubuntu?
[08:13] <iceroot> hipitihop: at login-screen just choose another session (gnome instead of xfce4)
[08:14] <iceroot> scm422_: authoring = burning? sorry english is not my foreign language
[08:14] <hipitihop> iceroot: I see, although this is a mythbuntu install so not quite sure what else may have been configured in the standart xfce session
[08:14] <KnifeySpooney> how much space does a default liveUSB of Ubuntu take? I know the livecd takes up approx. 700MB, and I don't want to waste a CD. I have 1.4GB left on a USB drive. Is this enough for the image when everything is expanded for a liveusb?
[08:15] <scm422_> Yes burning and making a DVD
[08:15] <bening> scm422_ try devede
[08:15] <hipitihop> KnifeySpooney: I've had a full installation on a 2gb usb so I believe it should fit
[08:15] <Guest29018> hey, i lost my password to chat here, how can i get it back?
[08:16] <iceroot> Guest29018: ask in #freenode or #help
[08:16] <scm422_> ok I will look for it and give it a try
[08:16] <hipitihop> iceroot: also it wants to install 300+Mb seems a lot, I think I would rather solve my xfce login problem then, but thanks for your help
[08:16] <William-Gentoo> my evnice can't open pdf document
[08:17] <William-Gentoo> with 1000 pages
[08:17] <KnifeySpooney> lol
[08:17] <iceroot> hipitihop: of course 300mb+. you are installing gnome + the applications of gnome
[08:17] <iceroot> hipitihop: with kubuntu-desktop you will get ~1gb :)
[08:18] <hipitihop> iceroot: hmm, don't need all that guff, so I will go work on my xfce xeserver already running login problem but I think I need to go to ubuntu+1
[08:19] <iceroot> hipitihop: if it is 9.10, yes

[08:58] <Dr_Willis> Hans_Henrik:  check the 'advanced-bash scripting guide' for examples.
[08:58] <heavenrider> foofish, i typed cd foldername(the folder is in desktop) an it says no such folder
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> !abs | Hans_Henrik
[08:58] <AndyGarcia> italian?
[08:58] <foofish> heavenrider: you should read a basic guide to bash.
[08:58] <Dr_Willis> heavenrider:  case is imporntant as is spelling. use TAB key to compleate filenames
[08:58] <foofish> heavenrider: but i gues you want cd Desktop/foldername
[08:59] <heavenrider> where tnx and where can i get a basic bash guide
[08:59] <foofish> foofish: ls lists the files and directories in the current directory. ls and cd work well together
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> !abs | heavenrider    (annd a few more links to follow)
[08:59] <x369512> google it..
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> !bash | heavenrider

[09:18] <mindeq> i gues not, but i don't know where to ask more.. here are alot of people, so maybe someone knows ?

[09:19] <Bilge> Implying anyone has an obligation to help you
[09:19] <[R]> pshr_: configure does that
[09:19]  * Dr_Willis waits for his paycheck from #ubuntu
[09:20] <pshr_> [R], can you point me to some resource where i can actually learn doing that ?
[09:20] <[R]> pshr_: doing what
[09:20] <u0606465> [R]: such that it checks the disk when the ubuntu starts. If i use the command fsck now, then they give me a warning message saying that checking a mounted portion mat cause severe damagae
[09:20] <[R]> u0606465: ubutnu checks them on boot when they need to be checked
[09:20] <boobuntu> well this seems to be a place to get support for ubuntu-related problems, yet i have asked several questions over the past few days and none have been answered.
[09:21] <[R]> boobuntu: maybe you need to ask better questions
[09:21] <pshr_> i have makefile.in and makefile.am, and i suppose i need to write some configure.in file to and use autoconf to generate makefile
[09:21] <[R]> boobuntu: no one is obligated to answer you though
[09:21] <pshr_> the steps in writing that .in file
[09:21] <boobuntu> [R]: I understand
[09:21] <[R]> pshr_: there are tons of resources on auto autotools
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> could be no one knows.. or those that know are busy
[09:21] <boobuntu> I didn't know questions could superior to each other.
[09:22] <pshr_> ok [R] then i guess i'll jst google out
[09:22] <u0606465> can we use this checking facility to check my C drive and D drive as i have a dual boot system with windows. but my windows cannot be booted up because of windows/system32/config/system missing or corrupt error
[09:22] <[R]> u0606465: if you want to corrupt it even more... sure... otherwise i would avoid doing that
[09:23] <[R]> u0606465: but you can run fsck on an unmounted partition and it woudln't complain
[09:23] <dumbby> hi, is there a way to backup and install firefox plugins all together? ?
[09:24] <[R]> dumbby: huh?
[09:24] <bening> running gparted on hardy will take long time to scan all disk, how do i runn it quick?
[09:24] <u0606465> [R]: how do i run fsck on unmounted partition ?
[09:24] <bening> running gparted on 8.04 will take long time to scan all disk, how do i runn it quick?
[09:25] <[R]> u0606465: if you dont know how to use a program, you should read it's man page
[09:25] <almagest_divine> hey
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> dumbby:  i recall an extension once that did that.. but  i never did actually use it.
[09:26] <almagest_divine> how do i see which usb port is being used by device?

[09:26] <Random832> lsusb?
[09:26] <nlogax> anyone know how to fix the sound output with ubuntu on an imac? it always uses the internal speakers, even when something is plugged into it. thought it was something with the beta, but same thing happens with 9.04
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> u0606465:  sudo fsck /dev/devicename   normally
[09:26] <almagest_divine> ok i will try that
[09:27] <Dr_Willis> nlogax:  a ppc imac?  I never could get the display working right on mine. always moved about an inch to one side.
[09:27] <nlogax> Dr_Willis: no, a 1 year old (i think) core 2 duo one
[09:28] <Random832> i don't think that tells you what port - not sure that the system can tell what port - but it gives you some info
[09:28] <nlogax> everything seems to work, sound included, it's just the output thing.. :D
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> nlogax:  ok. :) never mind then..
[09:28] <almagest_divine> lsusb shows the list of ports. not which port is being used
[09:28] <med\weed> ok
[09:28] <med\weed> your all in luck
[09:28] <med\weed> i'm bored.

[09:33] <[R]> no wonder i put him on ignore
[09:34] <silare> Hey, iceroot. Since you're so into enforcing the Ubuntu channel things, why not answer my question instead of just pulling rules at me?
[09:34] <iceroot> silare: there is no newer version of gegl?
[09:34] <CaDaVeRiA> hi...i have a problem with squid...why when i write "squid" in the shell it says something like..."You dont have squid installed plz...use apt-get install squid" but i downloaded the source from the page and i compiled it by myself :S
[09:34] <med\weed> silare:
[09:34] <med\weed> !rules
[09:34] <silare> iceroot: Nope. It's the newest.
[09:34] <[R]> CaDaVeRiA: and you didn't install it to somewhere in your path
[09:34] <silare> med\weed: Well, I figured if someone wants to pull crap moves on me, they should surely know something if they want to act that way.
[09:35] <iceroot> silare: why not asking a detailed question instead of "has anyone uses xy"?
[09:35] <med\weed> silare: they usually should
[09:35] <med\weed> whats your actual problem lets get er fixed up
[09:35] <med\weed> the channel deserves the extra dozen lines itl take between my asking you to ask
[09:35] <Flannel> silare: if it's a syntax error, that's a problem with the code
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> CaDaVeRiA:  then its not in your default path. would be my guess
[09:35] <med\weed> and your actual asking
[09:35] <med\weed> ;)
[09:36] <silare> In compiling GEGL 0.1.0 with ./configure, I got: syntax error near unexpected token `$GLIB_REQUIRED_VERSION,' - How do I deal with this?
[09:36] <silare> As written above several times.
[09:36] <med\weed> ah
[09:36] <med\weed> silare: did you check pacakge dependancies for glib?
[09:36] <almagest_divine> how to see the port of the usb like com1 or com2 etc?
[09:36] <med\weed> meaning did you look at the project homepage or readme?
[09:36] <med\weed> http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html <- @ iceroot
[09:36] <CaDaVeRiA> ok...i'm gonna add it!

[09:37] <iceroot> med\weed: stop your trolling on me
[09:37] <silare> med\weed: Glib is installed. Version 2.22 (newest) when I tried it, and version 2.20 (minimum) when I retried it.
[09:37] <iceroot> silare: sudo apt-get install gegl
[09:37] <iceroot> silare: its in the repos
[09:37] <med\weed> lulz
[09:37] <silare> iceroot: gegl on Ubuntu is 0.0.22, not 0.1.0.
[09:38] <almagest_divine> how to check which com port my device is connected to?
[09:38] <Flannel> med\weed: Again, please stay ontopic and watch your attitude.
[09:38] <iceroot> silare: but as you can see 0.1.0 cant compile with your version
[09:38] <med\weed> Flannel: i am staying on topic
[09:38] <Flannel> silare: How did you get 0.1.0?
[09:38] <[R]> almagest_divine: what device?
[09:38] <seemawn> hi

[09:39] <med\weed> you need to ensure that the whole room is a good place
[09:39] <silare> Flannel: Okay... So if it's an error in the code because of syntax, I can't do anything about it. I'm stuck. Right?
[09:39] <med\weed> and i will not stand for ppl randomly abusing newer users
[09:39] <seemawn> apt cannot reconrigure/reinstall/purge/re-download/whatever a2ps and wget

[09:40] <Jordan_U> seemawn: Do you get an error?
[09:41] <Jordan_U> seemawn: If so pastebin it
[09:41] <almagest_divine> how to find tht port?
