[06:19] <m0r0n> My compiz isn't working at all, anyone know how I can reset it?
[06:19] <lizzzy> It's ok washburnello. Thanks for trying. It wasn't working too well for me the last time I installed it, so I uninstalled it.
[06:19] <TechN9ne> hi i am right now SSH files froms from ipod to Kubuntu and want to know where the progress bar is, i see it for 2-3secs than goes and pretty sure its still transferring? anyone?
[06:19] <alokito> lizzzy, Im a regular kde user, but I don't like kpackagekit at all
[06:20] <musikgoat> pukeko: is it your / ?
[06:20] <washburnello> alokito: would it have the history if lizzy did?
[06:20] <pukeko> musikgoat:  nah just data
[06:20] <alokito> washburnello, yup I think so
[06:20] <soreau> m0r0n: If you come to #compiz I will help you
[06:20] <musikgoat> pukeko: then move the data off, unmount, use mdadm to delete and recreate with the full space
[06:20] <jason__> anyone had this problem before... ubuntu logged me out for no reason I was loading xchat? running fresh install Jaunty
[06:20] <m0r0n> soreau: Will do.
[06:20] <washburnello> alokito: saweeeet
[06:21] <lizzzy> alokito: Have you had any sound problems earlier?
[06:21] <alokito> lizzzy, yup, in karmic... alt+f2 alsa force-reload fix's it
[06:22] <pukeko> musikgoat:  thought that might have been the way to do it... but wanted a refresher on mdadm , no mdadm grow or something that would do it ?
[06:22] <lizzzy> alokito So, It's better to upgrade to 9.10?
[06:22] <dg1> washburnello: this is cool, i put my winxp cd in
[06:22] <alokito> lizzzy, no you should wait till the final release
[06:22] <alokito> its coming in 29th october
[06:22] <O2O> hi
[06:22] <O2O> anybody used libcurl ?
[06:23] <lizzzy> alokito: But I need the audio to work by then for a class presentation :(
[06:23] <washburnello> lizzzy: I'd wait till the official release, but I've been burned too many times by beta production machines
[06:23] <musikgoat> pukeko: hmm, looks like there may be... based on references online
[06:23] <lizzzy> WIll wait for the official release then.
[06:23] <dg1> can i boot an installation of winxp that i already have?
[06:23] <musikgoat> pukeko: i believed that there wasn't but i'm mistaken
[06:23] <O2O> libcurl, anybody know?
[06:23] <washburnello> dg1: welcome to the world of virtualization
[06:24] <washburnello> dg1: yes but it's no picnic
[06:24] <dg1> washburnello: will this virtual drive stay, or do i have to install xp everytime
[06:24] <alokito> lizzzy, did you try alsa force-reload?
[06:24] <washburnello> dg1: I tried it once and it bombed the partition
[06:24] <dg1> oh man
[06:24] <washburnello> dg1: it will stay
[06:24] <pukeko> musikgoat:  do you know how to disemble the raid so each disk can be mounted as normal ?
[06:25] <dg1> hope i made it big enough
[06:25] <musikgoat> pukeko: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/424
[06:25] <washburnello> dg1: did you make it a static size or dynamic?
[06:25] <dg1> dynamic
[06:25] <dg1> well nvm then
[06:25] <washburnello> dg1:  then it will actually grow to that size when needed
[06:25] <lizzzy> yup alokito. Doesn't seem to work :(
[06:25] <fbdystang> no way! xchat-gnome just crashed on me!!
[06:25] <musikgoat> pukeko: i'm more familiar with hardware raids, and structures, aparently not with all the features of mdadm :P
[06:25] <dg1> cool
[06:26] <pukeko> musikgoat:  np - just reading that linl brb
[06:26]  * aprilhare does not use xchat-gnome. too pretty.
[06:26] <washburnello> dg1: I have a VM at work with a 80GB dynamic drive and the drive file is sitting at aroung 20GB right now
[06:26] <alokito> lizzzy, go to computer>> system settings>> Multimedia from klauncher and test the output devices one by one
[06:26] <lizzzy> alokito: Lol, I think that just crashed plasma :(
[06:27] <alokito> lizzzy, alt+f2 plasma-desktop will start it again
[06:27] <baltadt> fbdystang...just had the same problem
[06:27] <baltadt> it actually logged me out
[06:27] <sxx> mustikgoat: sorry i just had to hit restart button it frooze solid///  see in windows no problems it plays all games i can throw at it... im guessing it must be a driver conflict somewhere
[06:27] <fbdystang> baltadt: i wonder if it was a server thing
[06:28] <baltadt> maybe..anyone else having problems with xchat?
[06:28] <washburnello> dg1: did you get your game to work?
[06:28] <dg1> its installing windows
[06:28] <alokito> baltadt, what problem?
[06:28] <baltadt> xchat crashing?
[06:28] <washburnello> dg1: ah, I forget how long it takes to install windows lol
[06:28] <alokito> baltadt, nope, not once!
[06:28] <Wolfenstein> hey does anyone know bout networking ubuntu to windows?
[06:29] <friendishan> how do i import contacts from my gmail to evolution mail?
[06:29] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: networks can get very hairy vary quick. you need to bee specific with the issue
[06:29] <musikgoat> sxx: yeah,  I would try investigating with #appdb  and the wine folks, they might have better suggestions,  but for it to cause the X problems you described, I'm betting that drivers will be the first thing mentioned
[06:29] <dg1> takes forever....sigh
[06:29] <lizzzy> alokito: Well, both alsa and oss default output fails and falls back to pulseaudio
[06:29] <fbdystang> friendishan: I have seen people do it but I don't rmember how
[06:30] <washburnello> dg1: I know, I blew a friend away once when I installed ubuntu in 15 min.
[06:30] <musikgoat> sxx: #winehq  sorry
[06:30] <pretender> how can i tell the x-org driver veersion i am running
[06:30] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, to be honest i can't remember what i installed for it but i was able to go into windows and access my files from ubuntu and can't remember what to type in the run box in windows to get it
[06:30] <washburnello> dg1: and it's faster than that if you install over network
[06:30] <alokito> lizzzy, is pulse audio working? can u hear a music during the test?
[06:30] <LiquidRain> are there any known problems with Karmic and Intel 945s?
[06:30] <lizzzy> alokito pulseaudio seems to pass the test but no auudio can be heard :(
[06:30] <dg1> you cant beat that
[06:30] <friendishan> anyone else knows how to import contacts from gmail to evolution mail
[06:30] <LiquidRain> I installed the beta and wow is performance awful.
[06:30] <alokito> o :|
[06:30] <LiquidRain> Worse than 9.04
[06:31] <sxx> mustikgoat: drat as he kicks his machine grrrrr.. lol i will check that out now buddy thank you for taking the time to help me ^.^ drinks on me woot woot
[06:31] <dg1> is windows more complicated than linux?
[06:31] <musikgoat> LiquidRain: I have to say quite the opposite
[06:31] <shizzo> sry i dont know the name of the german ubuntu irc... can someon help me?
[06:31] <alokito> lizzzy, are u using a digital audio output or analog
[06:31] <musikgoat> sxx: GL!
[06:31] <Madpilot> shizzo, #ubuntu-de
[06:31] <dg1> or is windows more individual to your pc
[06:31] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: I normally just go to my network places and my machine is listen under it's respective workgroup
[06:31] <shizzo> ok thx
[06:31] <LiquidRain> musikgoat: what magic did you apply to your machine?  Out of the box and with ubuntu-x-swat, I have absolutely terrible performance.
[06:31] <lizzzy> alokito: KMix is crashing so I can't check if the audio device is muted but on padevchooser, nothing seems to be muted.
[06:31] <shizzo> #ubuntu-de
[06:31] <LiquidRain> I had xorg-edgers running on 9.04 and it was much faster than this
[06:32] <lizzzy> alokito: I'm trying to play it through the on-board speakers.
[06:32] <sxx> mustikgoat: thank you if you see something flyby your window don`t be alarmed its probably my graphics card lol
[06:32] <alokito> lizzzy, whats ur sound card model?
[06:32] <alokito> oh its a laptop
[06:32] <lizzzy> alokito: How do I check it?
[06:32] <musikgoat> LiquidRain: i've got it running on my eee 901, and the performance is reasonably faster... intel chipset and graphics
[06:32] <LiquidRain> musikgoat: Can you run a quick gtkperf for comparison's sake?
[06:32] <musikgoat> LiquidRain: so its more of an edge case
[06:32] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, well i have a problem to access my windows files from ubuntu but not my ubuntu files from windows i was doing something like //computername/user i think and i don't know if i forgot something but i had to reformat my windows comp and i have files i want to move back over to my windows comp
[06:33] <washburnello> dg1: windows can be very complex when your managing big networks and doing a lot of registry customizing. but complex doesn't = good all the time
[06:33] <lizzzy> alokito, I guess hda intel and sigmatel stac92xx the last time I checked.
[06:33] <pukeko> musikgoat:  hmmm i think i'll do it the "safe" way.. got a gig to get to and don't want to be stuck here headscratching or worse
[06:33] <Doc_Lappy> I'd say being a laptop it would be easier to google the serial number and find out
[06:33] <musikgoat> LiquidRain: i don't have jaunty on it any more, so you want to compare it to yours?
[06:33] <lizzzy> alokito Not too sure if that's what you asked ^^
[06:33] <alokito> !sound
[06:33] <LiquidRain> musikgoat: I'm running Karmic on my laptop right now... so a comparison would.. well then again you have an Atom, but still, it'd be good to compare.
[06:33] <dg1> yeah, complex surely isnt good all the time
[06:33] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: sorry I accidently closed the chat window, could you repeat that?
[06:33] <LiquidRain> my machine should be faster than yours.  yet I can't even scroll in a terminal without lag.
[06:34] <ShapeShifter499> g2g
[06:34] <ShapeShifter499> bye
[06:34] <Doc_Lappy> just guessing since there's only a few things like the ram that you can easily take a screw out to get to
[06:34] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, well i have a problem to access my windows files from ubuntu but not my ubuntu files from windows i was doing something like //computername/user i think and i don't know if i forgot something but i had to reformat my windows comp and i have files i want to move back over to my windows comp
[06:34] <friendishan> anyone else knows how to import contacts from gmail to evolution mail
[06:34] <friendishan> anyone else knows how to import contacts from gmail to evolution mail
[06:34] <lizzzy> alokito: Tried everything mentioned there. No use :( Well, volume control seems to be crashing now, so I s'pose I can't do that again.
[06:34] <iCarly> hello can anyone tell me a working auto clicker for linux ubuntu? I just need to find something that will click every 2 seconds
[06:34] <Doc_Lappy> so friendishan I don't
[06:34] <LiquidRain> friendishan: export from gmail, then import into evolution :)
[06:34] <alokito> lizzzy, did you have sound working before?
[06:34] <LiquidRain> iCarly: gtick?
[06:34] <washburnello> try smb://COMPNAME/SHARE
[06:35] <fbdystang> OK i am really not liking xchat right now
[06:35] <friendishan> liquidrain: how?
[06:35] <lizzzy> alokito: Yes. But not for all players. Only amarok and now that doesn't work too.
[06:35] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, i never put smb in front
[06:35] <dg1> some chill techno on the windows xp instro screen
[06:35] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: that stands for samba, it's the protocall your using
[06:35] <LiquidRain> friendishan: Open Synaptic from the System menu, and search for "gtick".  Right click it and install it.
[06:35] <dg1> yyeah
[06:35] <Doc_Lappy> fbdystang:  why not use pidgin for irc? seriously do you like xchat that much better
[06:35] <iCarly> pidgin does irc?
[06:36] <washburnello> dg1: I've always wanted to find that mp3
[06:36] <Wolfenstein> yea im using samba thats what i couldn't remember, but i never put smb in front
[06:36] <lstarnes> Doc_Lappy: pidgin's irc support is rather imcomplete
[06:36] <Doc_Lappy> yep that's what I'm on
[06:36] <musikgoat> LiquidRain: total time 39.24
[06:36] <fbdystang> you can use pidgin?
[06:36] <dg1> i never heard it cause i alway have to manually install my sound driver lol
[06:36] <dg1> sux
[06:36] <washburnello> dg1: lol
[06:36] <musikgoat> lstarnes: not with the purple-plugin-pack
[06:36] <friendishan> liquidrain: ok done
[06:36] <LiquidRain> Ok, mine is significantly faster than that, but I can't scroll around without getting lag.  I guess you're not a good comparison.
[06:36] <musikgoat> lstarnes: at least in my opinion
[06:36] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: did it fork?
[06:36] <lstarnes> musikgoat: even then it still lacks some support, but that works better
[06:36] <musikgoat> LiquidRain:
[06:36] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: *work
[06:36] <musikgoat> yeah, check in #ubuntu+1
[06:36] <LiquidRain> friendishan: I've never used it, but it's the first result for "ubuntu metronome" :)
[06:37] <Doc_Lappy> well true it's not the ideal one for irc but for what I use it for I don't need xchat or anything so I suggest it to some just so they don't have so many  things they have to run at once
[06:37] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, i didn't do it with smb before it was just //COMPUTERNAME/Downloads or my user for my ubuntu
[06:37] <friendishan> liquidrain: um..
[06:38] <fbdystang> How do I join another channel from here at the command line?
[06:38] <lstarnes> fbdystang: /join #other-channel
[06:38] <Doc_Lappy> bitchchat and irssa? or whatever I liked okay for terminal which was fun
[06:38] <alokito> lizzzy, check this http://www.google.com.bd/search?q=sigmatel+stac92xx+sound+problem+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[06:38] <lstarnes> fbdystang: e.g. /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:38] <fbdystang> lstarnes: thanks
[06:38] <musikgoat> Doc_Lappy: irssi
[06:38] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: don't know. I know in windows you do \\name\share and in linux you do smb://name/share
[06:38] <LiquidRain> friendishan: not quite doing what you're looking for?  sorry :/
[06:38] <friendishan> liquidrain: ok no problem^^
[06:39] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: that's what I type into the nautilus address bar
[06:39] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, ok i'll try the share part i don't think it was in config file but i never knew how to get my windows files through ubuntu always had a problemn
[06:39] <Doc_Lappy> thanks musiKgoat, your not a german goat?  lol just teasing ya I just find your name strange for an id
[06:39] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: you could always look under Network too
[06:39] <fbdystang> OK /join #ubuntu+1 is not working
[06:39] <musikgoat> fbdystang: what client?
[06:39] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: Places>Network
[06:40] <fbdystang> xchar
[06:40] <fbdystang> xchat
[06:40] <musikgoat> fbdystang: /j #ubuntu+1  ?
[06:40] <lstarnes> fbdystang: that should work
[06:40] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, only thing in network is just this computer which is unbuntu and windows netowrk
[06:40] <musikgoat> fbdystang: hmm, not familiar with xchat
[06:40] <fbdystang> yep worked sweet thanks
[06:40] <Dr_Willis>  /join should work in xchat.
[06:40] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: or do a Places>Connect to Server and set it up for there
[06:40] <Doc_Lappy> fbdystang: do you run scripts?
[06:40] <musikgoat> maybe he put a space in front
[06:41] <fbdystang> nope, no space
[06:41] <fbdystang> or scripts
[06:41] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: have you tried with just the ip address instead of the host name?
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> fbdystang:  also you could just click on #ubuntu+s   <--------------- Here where the word is at.. :)
[06:41] <fbdystang> I am in fedora though, maybe fedora's is different
[06:41] <washburnello> have you tried pinging the winbox's ip?
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> xchat is rather standard irc.. /join should work in any of them
[06:41] <Doc_Lappy> that's why I would prefer xchat over pidin and it's well a better looking gui too
[06:41] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, i don't know i can't remember what the people that were trying to help me tried and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working on the ubuntu end
[06:41] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: like I said, networks can get hairy pretty easily
[06:41] <Slurpee> what is a good program in ubuntu to burn an iso file?
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> !iso
[06:42] <fbdystang> Dr_Willis: yea I tried that and it worked a couple times, now it doesn't
[06:42] <mamooli> hello, can any one help me filling a form on the web?
[06:42] <LiquidRain> Slurpee: brasero
[06:42] <Doc_Lappy> k3b
[06:42] <m0r0n> Hey, my audio sounds like there is a thunderstorm of static hitting it
[06:42] <Slurpee> brasero fails for me. i wonder if my dvd drive doesnt like ubuntu?
[06:42] <alokito> lizzzy, here's a workaround, hope it helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=586058
[06:42] <Doc_Lappy> doesn't it do iso images
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> fbdystang:  sounds like you got some deeper issues then. I personally use Weechat these days
[06:42] <Slurpee> even if i try to build an audio cd...simply while adding tracks brasero dies.
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[06:42] <mamooli> hello, can any one help me filling a form on the web?
[06:42] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, and also in windows when i type //COMPUTERNAME/share it says it cannot find that name
[06:42] <LiquidRain> Slurpee: try xfburn
[06:42] <fbdystang> Slurpee: brasero worked great for me
[06:42] <LiquidRain> as a last resort try k3b
[06:42] <Slurpee> why would brasero fail?
[06:43] <musikgoat> LiquidRain: lol, i tested gtkperf on my desktop (jaunty) and i get 6.10
[06:43] <dg1> brasaro suc
[06:43] <dg1> use k3b
[06:43] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: in ubuntu, open a terminal (applications>accessories>terminal) and type "ping <IP_ADDRESS>" but replace with your winbox's IP
[06:43] <Doc_Lappy> I've always had my best luck with k3b burning anything, funny I couldn't get brasero to burn for me
[06:43] <Doc_Lappy> to each his own - washington
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> ive had constant issues with brasero also
[06:43] <dg1> does the same with me
[06:43] <firecrotch> I've also had problems with brasero
[06:43] <Doc_Lappy> seriously just try both and see which one seems to work for ya the best
[06:43] <washburnello> I've never had a prob with brasaro
[06:43] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, it says destination host is unreachable
[06:43] <firecrotch> The only thing brasero is good for is making coasters
[06:44] <dg1> yes
[06:44] <Doc_Lappy> yeah I wasted 3 cds with brasero and gave up
[06:44] <Doc_Lappy> yep firecrotch lol
[06:44] <musikgoat> washburnello: me neither
[06:44] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: then there is a network connectivity problem like a cable is unplugged, broken,
[06:44] <Doc_Lappy> love your id firecrotch
[06:44] <alokito> brasero is ok, but k3b is best
[06:44] <firecrotch> Doc_Lappy: Thanks :)
[06:44] <Wolfenstein> washburnello, both computers connect to same modem
[06:44] <Wolfenstein> and both can connect to internet just fine
[06:45] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: what are the IP addresses of the two computers?
[06:45] <fbdystang> mamooli: did you get your question answered?
[06:45] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, i don't know they both same ip cause i use the same connection for both
[06:45] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: this is where is gets hairy: pinging is the lowest level network command there is so if you can't even ping a host, there is a problem
[06:46] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: hmmm...
[06:46] <dg1> washburnello: you have jaunty
[06:46] <washburnello> dg1:  yup
[06:46] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: they shouldnt have the same IP address, they should each have their own different internal IP addresses
[06:46] <dg1> hmm, i heard brasaro had a problem with the new jaunty, either way it still dosnt work for me
[06:46] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: probably both in the 192.168.1.x ranger
[06:46] <firecrotch> *range
[06:47] <washburnello> Wolfenstein:  well if they have the same IP then that's the problem, but in theory, if they have the same IP then only one should be able to get online
[06:47] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, i know its the same cause like i said its from the same modem my same dsl modem i have both computers to same modem
[06:48] <dg1> washburnello: the game is downloading now (maybe it will work)
[06:48] <iCarly> hello can anyone tell me a working auto clicker for linux ubuntu? I just need to find something that will click every 2 seconds
[06:48] <Wolfenstein> well then i don't know how to tell what my ip is for this comp in ubuntu unless its same as doing it in windows in command prompt
[06:48] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: please explain your setup a little more... they are both connected directly to your DSL modem?  Does your modem have a router/switch built into it or?
[06:48] <washburnello> Wolfenstein: a dsl modem will have one WAN IP an will dish out multiple LAN IP's to your computers
[06:48] <dg1> washburnello: Do I need to install my video card drivers on here.
[06:48] <itfell> #faq
[06:48] <washburnello> dg1: I don't think o
[06:48] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: in ubuntu, from a terminal, run the command "ifconfig"
[06:48] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, yes they are both connected directly to the modem i don't think it has a router built into the modem
[06:49] <dg1> inside windows xp
[06:49] <m0r0n> Anyone know the audio side of Ubuntu well?
[06:49] <washburnello> dg1: but in the VM's settings you should enable 3d accelleration
[06:49] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, ok i did that in terminal which part do you want me to give you?
[06:49] <Balsaq> does ubuntu just not play youtube vids or is it me?
[06:49] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: then how are they both connected to the modem? does it have multiple ethernet ports or what? (if so, it has a router or switch built in)
[06:49] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, yes
[06:50] <washburnello> Balsaq: it's just you. youtube plays fine for me
[06:50] <Wolfenstein> its a wireless modem where i can have a wireless connection through it like from a laptop its from att
[06:50] <washburnello> Balsaq: do you have flash installed?
[06:50] <Balsaq> ok good what do i need to do washburnello YES
[06:50] <Balsaq> flash yes!
[06:50] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: The address for eth0 is the LAN IP of the computer. is that different than the LAN IP of the windows machine?
[06:50] <Balsaq> but wheni looked it sayd no drivers in there
[06:51] <washburnello> Balsaq: well flash is really all you need as far as I know
[06:51] <washburnello> Balsaq: well flash isn't a driver
[06:51] <Balsaq> washburnello: ok then its my vid card casue they play just reeaalll slow
[06:51] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, i see three addys under eth0, one says inet addr, another is Bcast and other is maks

[06:52] <Balsaq> the music is on time and good but the video is way behind washburnello
[06:52] <washburnello> Balsaq: that sounds about right, if they show up then you do have flash working
[06:52] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: inet addr is the one that is the actual IP.
[06:52] <Wolfenstein> ok let me see
[06:53] <washburnello> Balsaq: sorry but I'm not sure what would cause video slowdown
[06:53] <Balsaq> washburnello: then i need to but a card that 1. upgrades what i have and 2. ubuntu like for it s software 3. 200watt 12v-6a here
[06:53] <ruby_on_tails1> FloodBot1:
[06:53] <ruby_on_tails1> what do these 3 flood bots do ?
[06:53] <Wolfenstein> well when i go in my windows comp and type ipconfig it shows 3 of course but ip addy and default gateway both start with 69. but in ubuntu i don't have anything like that both the inet and bcast have 192
[06:53] <washburnello> Balsaq: is it only youtube? or does a site like vimeo slow down too?
[06:53] <lstarnes> ruby_on_tails1: they are used for reducing or stopping floods
[06:54] <Balsaq> havent tried others yet  Newbie
[06:54] <Balsaq> washburnello : but on this same puter it woked with w98
[06:54] <Balsaq> wked = worked
[06:54] <mr> hi
[06:54] <ruby_on_tails1> bots are admins
[06:54] <washburnello> Balsaq: try some other video sites to narrow it down
[06:54] <ruby_on_tails1> hmm
[06:55] <lstarnes> ruby_on_tails1: they must be in order to do their jobs
[06:55] <ruby_on_tails1> lstarnes: 1 bot wasn't enough ?  :D
[06:55] <jamieleshaw> Hello, does the Asus Eee PC 1101HA Seashell work with ubuntu?
[06:55] <Balsaq> well i know the only change was ubuntu
[06:55] <firecrotch> Balsaq: You're having slow flash video performance?  Is it only when the video is in fullscreen mode? Because that's normal - fullscreen flash video sucks in Linux
[06:55] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, did you get my last comment? meant to tell it to you sorry
[06:55] <washburnello> Balsaq: or google "ubuntu flash youtube slow"
[06:55] <ioneye> jamieleshaw: Yes.
[06:55] <Balsaq> i killed w98 put in ubuntu and then it happened
[06:55] <washburnello> Balsaq: what are the system specs?
[06:55] <jamieleshaw> ioneye, What works, Wifi< trackpad, is  it out of box?
[06:55] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: yes, I did. Your windows computer should not have an ip address in the 69.x range, it should be a 192 address
[06:56] <Guest49999> any of ya know how to change the color of this ?
[06:56] <Balsaq> washburnello: 400mgz 768sdram 10g HD 8mb ati agp
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> Guest49999:  this what?
[06:56] <washburnello> firecrotch: do you think the could be set as static?
[06:56] <Guest49999> umm the background color
[06:56] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, well i do it doesn't show any 192
[06:56] <flippo> Guest49999, does this look <green> green </green>?
[06:57] <Guest49999> nahh
[06:57] <Balsaq> washburnello: but i just did a ton of updates while runing around on here at same time
[06:57] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: is your IP address on the windows machine a static address?
[06:57] <flippo> I guess I can't help much then.  Never mind.
[06:57] <Guest49999> okk
[06:57] <washburnello> Balsaq: wow, that's kinda slow (no disrespect intended) but you said that it worked on w98?
[06:57] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, um i don't think so
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> Guest49999:  you might want to state your irc client. and check your irc clients docs./settings/menus
[06:58] <Balsaq> washburnello: happened after i dumped w98...yet all else is way better with ubuntu...no more freezes
[06:58] <washburnello> Balsaq: indeed :D
[06:58] <firecrotch> Balsaq: does the slow video happen only when the flash video is fullscreen?
[06:58] <Balsaq> washburnello{ tells me its in ubunutu, they drivers dont suppoert  mt old vid card
[06:59] <washburnello> Balsaq: bummer
[06:59] <Balsaq> firecrotch" never saw that but in utube yes
[06:59] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: On the windows machine, run these commands: ipconfig /release  then ipconfig /renew
[06:59] <Balsaq> firecrotch: ok but i killed w98
[06:59] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, ok
[07:00] <firecrotch> Balsaq: Fullscreen flash video absolutely sucks in the Linux version of flash, no matter what video card or whatever your system specs are
[07:00] <washburnello> well, I had a fantastic time on IRC tonight, Thanks #ubuntu you people are awesome! goodnight...
[07:00] <firecrotch> washburnello: goodnight, and thanks!
[07:00] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, i did that and still shows the same thing
[07:00] <jamieleshaw> Does the Eee PC 1101HA work out of box with Ubuntu?
[07:00] <Bluey> !hcl
[07:00] <Balsaq> firecrotch: ok...wasbuen said his works good
[07:01] <Balsaq> fifrecrotch mine plays just way behind the music
[07:01] <Balsaq> need to speed it up
[07:01] <Balsaq> firecrotch may be mt old processor or 8mb vid card
[07:01] <Balsaq> 4--mgz
[07:02] <Balsaq> 400
[07:02] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: Check your network settings for your Windows machine, and make sure that it's getting its IP via DHCP and is not statically set
[07:02] <firecrotch> Balsaq: that may very well be the issue
[07:02] <Balsaq> firecrotch: wonder if vid card can speed up utube
[07:02] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, um
[07:03] <Balsaq> firecrotch some say vid card doesnt efect utube
[07:03] <ioneye> jamieleshaw: you gonna have an issue with wired/wireless card and with sould
[07:03] <ioneye> sound*
[07:03] <jamieleshaw> ioneye, Is it easily fixable?
[07:03] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Double click the ethernet connection -> Select IPv4 settings -> Click Properties
[07:03] <Balsaq> firecrotch if vid card wont help im dead due to old proc 400mgz...but do you know if vid cards can speed up utube
[07:04] <ioneye> jamieleshaw: Yes.
[07:04] <firecrotch> Balsaq: I don't think it will.
[07:04] <eross> anyone playing with ext4 yet
[07:04] <jamieleshaw> ioneye, Is there a forum post I can refer to?
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> eross:  a great many of us have beenusing ext4 for some time now.
[07:04] <ioneye> jamieleshaw: On the latest update of Ubuntu 9.04 many things improved.
[07:04] <firecrotch> eross: Been using for quite some time now
[07:04] <Balsaq> firecrotch i thought so...people at dell told me that and other think vid cards improve online vids
[07:04] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, ok but i know in my gateways firewall setup the firewall inside my modem/router i had on that computer dmzplus mode selected cause i wasn't able to use ftp but since i know i can use networking imma turn it off
[07:04] <eross> does it require defragging, or can it become fragged
[07:04] <jamieleshaw> ioneye, I assume Larmic Koala will be better again right?
[07:05] <ioneye> jamieleshaw: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1230045&highlight=eeepc
[07:05] <Touk> join #python
[07:05] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: There's your problem, I believe
[07:05] <Balsaq> firecrotch i guess this old dogs is gettin to the end..just wont die now  i may have to kill it
[07:05] <fbdystang> Touk: you need /join #python
[07:05] <Balsaq> i wonder if a tiny operating system would let it work
[07:05] <firecrotch> Balsaq: you can always turn it into a network fileserver or something! I have an old old Dell with a Celeron 450MHz or so that I use as a webserver
[07:06] <firecrotch> Balsaq: that's about all its good for, lol
[07:06] <amites> Anyone know why I would not be able to change permissions on a folder under an NTFS mounted drive?
[07:06] <Balsaq> fifrecrotch what is the benefit of that
[07:06] <Touk> fbdystang: i know, was typo, ty
[07:06] <Balsaq> webserver...what for?
[07:06] <m0r0n> What is the off topic channel?
[07:06] <Dr_Willis> amites:  you set the permissions/owner on ntfs/vfat fildsystems when you Mount them. You dont change individual file/dir permissions
[07:06] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, well in the network connections cause im using windows xp i only have one icon under lan or high speed internet
[07:06] <Prohibit> a website :)
[07:06] <firecrotch> Balsaq: I use it for my personal website :)
[07:06] <amites> Dr_Willis thank you
[07:07] <m0r0n> !offtopic
[07:07] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: I believe the problem is the dmzplus that you have set up
[07:07] <Balsaq> firecrotch..so you dont run the net on it just display your site there?
[07:07] <fbdystang> if I want to add ubuntu.cs.utah.edu/ to my server repo list, where can i put it?
[07:07] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, ok so should i try to ipconfig again in the windows comp?
[07:08] <Balsaq> BRB
[07:08] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: after turning the dmz off, run ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew again
[07:08] <stillinbeta> fbdystang: in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[07:08] <Prohibited> DMZ = bad
[07:08] <firecrotch> Balsaq: Yes, the only thing it does is serve up my blog to the outside world :)
[07:09] <Dr_Willis> fbdystang:  the synaptic tool has   settings -> software sources interface to let you select that one I think. (or it can test/find the fastest one for you)
[07:09] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, ok
[07:09] <stillinbeta> Can anyone give me some help with networkmanager ?
[07:10] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu.cs.utah.edu  is in the selectable list of servers under synaptic. :)
[07:10] <eross> Time for a real question now.  I had to switch to my other mouse. both are usb. Do I need to boot with IRQ polling or something?
[07:11] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, yep that did it lol
[07:11] <fbdystang> Dr_Willis: yep thanks
[07:11] <eross> my razor will lock up from excessive use :P or 2 minutes, whichever comes last
[07:12] <coyote_> kk
[07:12] <Ali_nz^> is it possible with a PPTP VPN connection to add a specific machine name to a routing path?
[07:12] <coyote_> saludos
[07:13] <firecrotch> Ali_nz^: still trying to get your DNS working over your VPN connection, I see?
[07:13] <Ali_nz^> firecrotch: hehe, what I think i kinda want is like an entry to say if you type in "QNAP" resolve the address via VPN
[07:13] <Ali_nz^> a bit like a routing table entry
[07:14] <Ali_nz^> but not using IP's
[07:14] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, and also you're right both computers have different ip's the windows comp is 1 number lower than my ubuntu computer
[07:14] <firecrotch> Ali_nz^: there's really no way to do that, as far as I know.  One solution would be to use your work's DNS servers for everything when you're connected to the VPN.
[07:15] <Ali_nz^> firecrotch: ok
[07:15] <firecrotch> Ali_nz^: if you know your work LAN's DNS server IP address, you can change it in /etc/resolv.conf
[07:15] <Ali_nz^> hey also, is there a way to browse a Windows Computer via IP? what do you use to do it?
[07:15] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, i just was able to get my window folders from ubuntu when i went to places network then to windows netowrk
[07:15] <fbdystang> I would also like to know Ali_nz's question
[07:16] <joemaamasir> ls
[07:16] <fbdystang> I think samba has something for that
[07:16] <firecrotch> Ali_nz^: Places -> Network  should show all of the computers that are on the LAN
[07:17] <Ali_nz^> firecrotch: interestingly it doesnt show any of the computers on the VPN side of the LAN, only local
[07:17] <pradeep> I was trying to install ubuntu 9.04 in my friends desktop, when i tried installing from live cd, it says out of range on the monitor
[07:17] <pradeep> neither 8.04,8.10 worked. But 7.10 only worked? What might be the problem?
[07:18] <Ali_nz^> firecrotch: any ideas why that might be?
[07:18] <jamieleshaw> pradeep, This is a refresh rate thing I think
[07:19] <pradeep> jamieleshaw: how to fix it
[07:19] <pradeep> ?
[07:19] <pete_> firecrotch, you still there, LOL
[07:19] <firecrotch> Ali_nz^: Nautilus isn't looking at the VPN subnet at all.  I'm not sure how to get it to do that.  But you can browse the remote computers if you know the IP address by typing smb://ipaddresshere/  in the address bar of nautilus
[07:19] <fbdystang> ideal refresh rate is >= 60 hertz
[07:19] <firecrotch> pete_: yes I am
[07:19] <ioneye> pradeep: lower your screens refresh rate to 60 Hz
[07:19] <jamieleshaw> pradeep, Well, if possible try changing the refersh rate
[07:20] <pete_> firecrotch, haha, NDIS wrapper was a nightmare. could not get on irc. only browse the web
[07:20] <Ali_nz^> firecrotch: nautilus being the ?
[07:20] <pete_> firecrotch, so back to the propriatery I guess.
[07:20] <pradeep> ioneye : should i do it in the bios?
[07:20] <firecrotch> Ali_nz^: the file manager
[07:20] <howitzer`> pradeep: If you have another monitor handy, you could try that as well.
[07:20] <Elone> anyone, tried installing vmware workstation? it stop working @ 62% @@; any clue? ~
[07:20] <ioneye> pradeep: if your screen don't have that kind of option then yes.
[07:20] <pradeep> howitzer: he has only one monitor
[07:21] <fbdystang> does the monitor work on other computer?
[07:22] <Balsaq> is it important to get a vid card in a laptop
[07:22] <fbdystang> laptops have a built in vid card, and they suck
[07:22] <Balsaq> some are coming out with vid cards lately
[07:22] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, can you finish helping me if you can on the window part?
[07:23] <ag> wh..
[07:23] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: what are you stuck on?
[07:24] <fbdystang> night
[07:24] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: the windows computer now has a proper IP address, correct?
[07:24] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, yea lol i been talking to you and telling you that the dmz mode thing was the problem
[07:25] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, and my problem in windows is i can't access my ubuntu files from windows
[07:26] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: the easiest way to access the files on the ubuntu machine from your windows machine will be to share the files using samba
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  i often find it easier to just put winscp on the windows box . and access ubuntu via ssh  that way
[07:27] <firecrotch> Or listen to Dr_Willis, since I have no clue how to set up Samba in gnome
[07:27] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, well before i was able to do it when i typed //COMPUTERNAME/Downloads or //COMPUTERNAME/user in the run box and was able to put my username and pass in the prompt but i can't remember if im doing something wrong since i reformatted windows
[07:27] <pradeep> ioneye: where do i change the refresh rate??? its not there in BIOS
[07:28] <gishaust> hi everyone can anyone tell me  run stream mp3 from my apache2 intranet
[07:28] <weww> i thouht refresh was an os thing
[07:28] <pradeep> Wolfenstein: if your not familiar with samba. There as an application called meiga through which u can share files. try it out
[07:29] <Ali_nz^> firecrotch: yep that nautilus trick worked
[07:29] <howitzer`> pradeep: hopefully it's not a monitor that is from before the middle-90s, which can't handle 60hz?
[07:29] <eross> what does acpi=force irqpoll  do?
[07:30] <Wolfenstein> pradeep, its not im not familiar with samba i've done this //computername/user or /downloads command before and it worked now it won't let me do it
[07:30] <pradeep> Wolfenstein: Oh ok!!  I thought you are new to samba
[07:30] <Ali_nz^> firecrotch: it looks like you could then add each computer as a place...
[07:31] <firecrotch> Ali_nz^: you can do this, yes :)
[07:31] <pradeep> howitzer: it's a BenQ monitor.. 6 month's old
[07:31] <Ali_nz^> any good ubuntu tools for system process/cpu monitoring etc?
[07:31] <pradeep> howitzer:AMD processor with Nvdia card 128 mb
[07:31] <Ali_nz^> and maybe network mapping?
[07:32] <howitzer`> pradeep: ah, I just acquired three BenQ monitors yesterday, T2210HD.
[07:32] <Balsaq> couls some one comment on this puter i may buy: amd athlon 3200 64 bit 2.0 , 1 gig ram, 40 HD, from about 2005 era...any good for buntu and for online videos?
[07:32] <pradeep> Alin_nz^: there's a tool called conky
[07:32] <Wolfenstein> pradeep, i am but im just not able to access my ubuntu files now when i did before i reformatted don't know if im doing something wrong
[07:33] <weww> rams far too less
[07:33] <pradeep> Alin_nz^: or u can use the default gnome one. Type gnome-system-monitor at the terminal
[07:33] <Bookman> Anyone play the sauerbraten game?  It does not seem to be about much to me.  I just walk around, collect stuff and nothing seems to happen.
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:   you did install 'samba' package? and gave the user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ?
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  im just going through what i normally do to get things going on a new system. :)
[07:34] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, the problems are in a windows computer not ubuntu i haven't changed anything to my ubuntu computer
[07:34] <pradeep> Alin_nz^: nmap for netwrk mapping
[07:34] <Ali_nz^> col - thanks
[07:35] <pradeep> howitzer`: This is the first time i am facing problems in ubuntu installation. Have installed in various comps
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  ahh.  i also always have identicval windows user name and password on the windows box.  Can the windows box access its own shares?
[07:35] <pspe> why cannot i enter the virtual terminal with 2.6.30
[07:35] <Dr_Willis> 'virtual terminal' meaning what exactly?
[07:36] <Ali_nz^> I like Terminal Server Clinet - it seems to connect to anything no matter what the protocol, but there doesnt seem to be a scaling option....ahh its hard finding the perfect softwar e:-)
[07:36] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, what? im not sharing files through same computer if thats what you're asking i have 2 computers one is windows and one is nix, os ubuntu which is what im on now
[07:37] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  as a 'test'  i always make a share on both machines. and make sure they can access theor own local shares.
[07:37] <howitzer`> pradeep: did you try to install in safe graphics mode?
[07:37] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  also instead of //HOSTnAME/share  you could try the ip#.
[07:38] <pspe> Dr_Willis: tty0-6
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  im just thinking through things ive done in the past to trouble shoot samba.
[07:38] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, i have my config for samba set with computername and i did that in windows its telling me it can't find it
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> pspe:  those are the 'consoles'   is what they are normally called.
[07:38] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  can the windows box even ping the lin box via  the name?  can it ping via ip?
[07:39] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, i never had a problem before like i said i just reformatting the windows computer and got it all squared up so i shouldn't have a problem
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  im just spitting out trouble shooting 'things to try' to narrow down the problem.
[07:40] <Ali_nz^> is there a network map app with a gui?
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> If the windows box cant even ping the lin box. well.... thats where you need to start
[07:40] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, no problem but i don't know what is the problem since i never did anything on the ubuntu side but remove xchat and the xchat folder
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  also see if the lin box can access a share on the windows box. (ie the reverse of what you want to do).  If that also fails. that may be a sign of network/firewall/windows setting issues also.
[07:41] <beatbreaker> what allows people to drag a window to different workplaces with the mouse in Ubuntu?
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> beatbreaker:  thats a feature of the window manager normally. compiz has a setting for that. as does the normal gnome window manager i recall
[07:42] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, i can now access my windows files through ubuntu as i couldn't before but was able to access my ubuntu files in windows now its backwards if only i can get windows problem solved
[07:43] <pradeep> howitzer`:well give it a try now. Hope it works
[07:43] <_MattB> i'm trying to write a bash script that rips a dvd and calls eject -t /dev/scd0 to close the tray prior to ripping, but the ripping program can't open the drive because it's not ready, any ideas on how I can wait for the drive to be ready before going to the ripping operation?
[07:44] <Ali_nz^> I see there are a couple of flavours of light Linux, are reccomendations?
[07:45] <Ali_nz^> are=any
[07:46] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, i got a question do you know how i can set the program files folder in windows to share? the boxes are greyed out and i dunno how to make it to where i can access that on my ubuntu computer
[07:47] <howitzer`> Ali_nz^: tinycore, slitaz, dsl, puppy, slax
[07:47] <Ali_nz^> howitzer`: sure but which is best?
[07:47] <DigitalKiwi> arch!
[07:47] <eso> I want to upgrade to 9.04, but the amd fglrx graphics driver isn't available in 9.04 it says. what do you think i should do?
[07:47] <howitzer`> Ali_nz^: that's up to you :)
[07:47] <Ali_nz^> howitzer`: in your humble opinion ;-)
[07:48] <beatbreaker> Dr_Willis, ok but i'm coming from another distro, what window manager does Ubuntu use then? Metacity doens't do stuff like that - or is a minimal install of conpiz in there already?
[07:48] <howitzer`> Ali_nz^: it depends on the computer ;)
[07:49] <DigitalKiwi> Ali_nz^: how experienced are you with linux? how willing to read docs?
[07:49] <Wolfenstein> btw Dr_Willis i did ping my nix ip and even did it with the computername i have for my ubuntu and both works
[07:49] <DPic> anybody here good with macs?
[07:50] <eso> anybody?
[07:50] <Ali_nz^> DigitalKiwi: Not experienced at all, and I admit it, I hate reading docs, i like to run before I can walk....terible i know
[07:50] <beatbreaker> DPic, wrong forum?
[07:50] <Ali_nz^> lazy even....
[07:50] <eross> what's best tool to use to check my nvidia 8800gt temp?
[07:50] <DPic> well im trying to install ubuntu on a mac...
[07:51] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, or firecrotch are you two still around?
[07:51] <DigitalKiwi> oh then i would definitely hold off on arch, though it may interest you in the future, for now hmmm...crunchbang looks interesting (ubuntu based)
[07:52] <DigitalKiwi> it uses openbox =D
[07:52] <Ali_nz^> arch> crunchbang? Linux flavours?

[07:53] <ManDay> What's the most lightweight LaTeX package in the repos?
[07:53] <godstar> DPic: http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-148617.html
[07:53] <ManDay> Btw is Karmic out yet?
[07:53] <firecrotch> ManDay: No. October 29
[07:53] <godstar> ManDay: 29th
[07:53] <ManDay> Cool, thanks

[07:53] <cgroza> ?
[07:53] <cgroza> ?
[07:53] <Ali_nz^> most of the light packages mentioned so far run in ram only
[07:53] <godstar> ManDay: Anytime.
[07:53] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, did you get any of my recent posts
[07:54] <DPic> godstae: LiveCD seems to freeze after selecting an option from the menu

[07:54] <Ali_nz^> where in NZ are you DigitalKiwi?
[07:54] <brambo_> can anyone help me ?
[07:54] <godstar> DPic: dualboot or vm install?
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> Wolfenstein:  yea. Ping works via name and ip. Thats a good sign.  There should be some samba logs in /var/log somewhere.  You could tail -f, the log,  and try to connect via windows and see if the connection is rejected/tried/shown at all.

[07:55] <DPic> godstar: trying to wipe mac osx for ubuntu
[07:55] <brambo_> I installed Ubuntu 9.04 and let it use 50GB of my hard drive and just installed it a few minutes ago, but when I try to install stuff or updates, it says not enough disc space...
[07:55] <brambo_> If anyone knows what I can do, please let me know. thank u :)
[07:56] <godstar> DPic: hmm, what happens when you boot to Live CD???
[07:56] <brambo_> <---New to Linux
[07:56] <Wolfenstein> Dr_Willis, i have no problem now connecting to the windows sharing part i did before but firecrotch told me what i might have done which i turned off and now im able to connect to windows sharing folders
[07:56] <DPic> godstar: i can select langage and a menu option but after that it goes to a black screen and freezes
[07:56] <ManDay> Can anyone recomment a LaTeX package in the Repos which is either very basic OR has a package manager to MAKE IT very basic?
[07:57] <Tmi> what do you mean that it should be basic?
[07:57] <godstar> DPic: try to burn download the ISO again, and burn a new CD. Then use the default settings via the installer and see how that goes.
[07:57] <cfedde> ManDay: probably lyx
[07:58] <DPic> godstar: the liveCD works on a normal PC, just not on mac
[07:58] <Ali_nz^> DigitalKiwi:haa

[07:58] <Ali_nz^> none of the VNC viewer clients seem to have scaling options
[07:58] <brambo_> I set aside 50GB for Ubuntu (just installed it) but it wants me to install updates and its saying theres not enough space, whats going on?
[07:58] <godstar> DPic: I am not a mac user but the installer should work seamlessly.
[07:59] <digmore> Could anyone recommend software to "transcript" (either automatically or semi-automatically) audio/video?
[07:59] <DPic> godstar: i know it *should* be-- this is why i'm here =]
[07:59] <godstar> DPic: you could always try to put gparted on a USB stick and wipe your macosx drive with it then load Ubuntu from the live cd?
[08:00] <DPic> godstar: but the LiveCD won't even boot into the installer/desktop so i wouldn't be able to install it
[08:00] <lucas_> hello what happend to packages.ubuntu-com??
[08:00] <brambo_> The upgrade needs a total of 463M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 463M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'.
[08:00] <lucas_> i'm trying to reinstal nautilus but it wont let me
[08:00] <cgroza> hello, how to change my repositories from md. to ro.
[08:00] <godstar> DPic: maybe, maybe not. Do you have an app to wipe your mac hdd??
[08:01] <godstar> DPic: maybe its the mac os causing issues? Not sure. Just trying to brainstorm.
[08:01] <DPic> godstar: i have the ubuntu LiveCD on a USB drive as awell but that wouldn't even boot at all-- not even to the menu
[08:01] <firecrotch> lucas_: it's down again. no big surprise there.
[08:01] <godstar> DPic: wipe the HDD then run Ubuntu. That's what I would do.
[08:02] <DPic> godstar: alright i'll try it
[08:02] <firecrotch> lucas_: happens a lot more often than it should
[08:02] <godstar> DPic: I'll be around. Let me know.
[08:02] <DPic> godstar: alright thanks
[08:02] <reeve> anyone able to connect to ubuntu server?
[08:02] <godstar> DPic: anytime.
[08:02] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, i see you're back so you don't know why im having problems with getting my ubuntu files showing up in windows?
[08:03] <howitzer`> pradeep: any luck?
[08:03] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: How were you doing it before? You had to have configured Samba and shared the files...
[08:04] <nutzer> hallo
[08:04] <lucas_> firecrotch: if packages.ubuntu.com i still can download packages?
[08:04] <lucas_> is down*
[08:04] <shentino> Is there a way to upgrade to karmic from jaunty?
[08:04] <lucas_> firecrotch: if packages.ubuntu.com is down i still can download packages?
[08:04] <shentino> or do I have to wait for the official release first?
[08:04] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, yes but i didn't do nothing in the windows side all i was doing before was typing in run was this command //computername/Downloads or if it wasn't downloads it was /user and i mean my user on ubuntu
[08:04] <brambo_> If somoene has a free minute please let me know, I need some help, (new Linux user here)
[08:05] <firecrotch> lucas_: There are mirrors that you can use - I don't know the addresses offhand though
[08:05] <nutzer> hello
[08:05] <Tmi> brambo, just write your qestions and someone will answer if they know
[08:05] <Madpilot> shentino, you can upgrade
[08:05] <howitzer`> shentino: http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/karmic/beta
[08:05] <Madpilot> ubottu, upgrade | shentino
[08:05] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: and its the same ubuntu install as before, correct? just the windows install is new?
[08:05] <phpgunner> Can anyone tell me why my mouse quits clicking after awhile on ubuntu?
[08:06] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: or do I have that backwards?
[08:06] <Madpilot> shentino, but Karmic questions should still go to #ubuntu+1, thanks
[08:06] <shentino> I mean upgrading with synaptic or the like
[08:06] <phpgunner> Able to move it but no clicky :(
[08:06] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, just windows i didn't touch ubuntu at all as in reformating i only reformatted windows
[08:06] <brambo_> I just installed Ubuntu 9.04 32bit on my laptop it has a 250GB, I let Ubuntu use 50GB, and now Ubuntu is asking to update then saying there isn't enough disc space..How is this? I can paste the error code I get.
[08:06] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: Hmm... did you try //<ubuntu IP address>/user ?
[08:07] <draconis> if at all possible try to avoid Samba
[08:08] <Tmi> brambo, open a terminal and write "df -h" too see the amount of diskspace

[08:10] <brambo_> Tmi: I will post results in pastebin, can you help me maybe?
[08:10] <starcannon> brambo use a paste bin
[08:10] <starcannon> lol
[08:10] <Tmi> well it seems your ubuntu partition is only 2.3 Gb
[08:10] <starcannon> too late as per usual
[08:10] <godstar> brambo, you could always rb your box and Ubuntu should auto mount hdds for you.
[08:10] <brambo_> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/284376/
[08:10] <brambo_> but picked for it to use 50GB
[08:11] <starcannon> brambo you only allocated 2.3 gb to Ubuntu, it needs bare min of 4gb(thats a very bare min)
[08:11] <Tmi> weird, something must have gone wrong then because df says your /-partition is only 2.3 Gb
[08:11] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, no i didn't let me try that
[08:11] <brambo_> I installed it alongside Windows Vista, and slide the bar over to let Ubuntu have 50GB..
[08:11] <brambo_> How can I fix it, format and do it over?
[08:12] <starcannon> brambo something didn't go as planned
[08:12] <Tmi> I don't know, maybe gparted can extend the partition?
[08:12] <godstar> brambo, did you use Wubi?
[08:12] <Tmi> otherwise I guess a reinstall is in order
[08:12] <brambo_> I am not sure how to use that, I am brand new to Linux
[08:12] <starcannon> brambo backup all data that is important to you, then do a reinstall, use 8.04 LTS unless there is some reason you need a later version
[08:12] <brambo_> godstar: I booted off the Ubuntu disc from my BIOS
[08:13] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, i did that and it comes up with the same problem not finding it
[08:13] <godstar> brambo, can you boot back to your Windows OS?
[08:13] <brambo_> I cant use 8.04  only 9.04 works on my laptop...
[08:13] <Tmi> starcannon, better recommend the latest stable, i.e. 9.04
[08:13] <brambo_> yes I can godstar
[08:13] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: make sure that the folders are still shared on your ubuntu machine? that's the last thing that I can think of
[08:14] <starcannon> Tmi nah, its a tweenlease, I only recommend LTS unless a tween adds hardware support that the enduser needs, and brambo just stated he/she needs 9.04 for that reason
[08:14] <Tmi> I guess the problem is you wont have enough space to even install gparted (partition manager), so you should probably just do a reinstall
[08:14] <cgroza> hello ,my grub menu shows 2 kernels ...how do i remove one?
[08:14] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, um i don't think i did that i only did things in the samba config file
[08:14] <godstar> brambo, I suggest you boot back into Windows, reformat Ubuntu partition with DiskMgr and use the Wubi installer. http://wubi-installer.org/
[08:14] <Lartza_> Hello, gparted is whining about changing partions may cause dataloss, but I want to lose my data and completely empty my drive, I can't seem to figure out how to do that data is still there.
[08:14] <brambo_> I can just go in Windows and totally delete Ubuntu and the partition it made and do it over, cause I dont know how to reinstall Ubuntu
[08:14] <godstar> brambo, wubi is easier to use for new converts.
[08:15] <godstar> brambo, wubi.
[08:15] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: I think the problem lies with your Windows install somewhere.  Is it Vista, XP, or 7?
[08:15] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, its xp
[08:15] <starcannon> Lartza_ backup data before messing with partitions, this is where sanity lives; do otherwise and you will testdisk
[08:15] <cgroza> hello ,my grub menu shows 2 kernels ...how do i remove one?
[08:15] <brambo_> use the WuBi installer from Windows?
[08:15] <brambo_> Doesn't that make Ubuntu slower?
[08:15] <godstar> brambo, that is correct.
[08:15] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: up to date with service pack 3 and all that good stuff?
[08:15] <Lartza_> starcannon: Backed up and I want to format the partition now, but the data is staying there no matter what
[08:15] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, and never had a problem before but i didn't mess with samba config file
[08:16] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, yep
[08:16] <Lartza_> I have formatted partition, deleted and made new partition
[08:16] <nareshov> hi
[08:16] <Lartza_> Ouch... do I need to possibly make new partition table?
[08:16] <godstar> brambo, it is your best option, until you get the hang of Ubuntu.
[08:16] <nareshov> got a bunch of upgrades yesterday
[08:16] <Lartza_> Would that do it?
[08:16] <nareshov> and my touchpad doesn't work anymore
[08:16] <firecrotch> Wolfenstein: well, it has to be some kind of problem with your Windows install.  Unfortunately, I'm way out of the loop when it comes to Windows stuff now
[08:16] <draconis> godstar: Wait, Wubi actually uses that ancient boot loader, that loads from a Windows/Dos partition?
[08:16] <nareshov> (i can't use my touchpad to move the cursor)
[08:17] <brambo_> I've  installed Ubuntu the same way I just did a few minutes ago before and had no problems, this time somehow even tho I picked 50GB, it didnt do it?
[08:17] <starcannon> Lartza_ I'll help you in PM look left
[08:17] <zeeded> draconis: Hes just that sexy
[08:17] <Wolfenstein> firecrotch, no problem a friend who helped me begin with isn't around and i don't know why its not working so no worries
[08:17] <nareshov> i have "synaptics driver lost sync.... got giantic packet!"
[08:17] <godstar> draconis: correct, but it is a good option.
[08:17] <nareshov> and "query no synaptics: 000000"
[08:17] <nareshov> in my Xorg.0.log
[08:17] <nareshov> google isn't helping
[08:17] <godstar> draconis: brambo is new to linux.
[08:18] <brambo_> I will just totally delete Ubuntu and try installing it again...That's the easiest way I know how to do it since Im new to Linux totally
[08:18] <zeeded> brambo_: Whats wrong?
[08:18] <brambo_> zeeded: I installed Ubuntu a few mins ago, and selected it to use 50GB of my hard drive but now its saying I dont have enough space to update my stuff
[08:18] <Tmi> brambo, thats probably your best option yes, check one extra time that the partition size is correct and you should get it running nicely :)
[08:19] <brambo_> Tmi: I hope so :)
[08:19] <zeeded> brambo_: If you want to make sure its not something else maybe check gparted?
[08:19] <zeeded> if not, a fresh install might be best :/
[08:19] <brambo_> zeeded: I am new to Linux so I dont know how to do what you said.
[08:20] <brambo_> zeeded: what is gparted ?
[08:20] <Tmi> brambo, in a terminal write "sudo aptitude install gparted" and then type your password when it asks for it
[08:20] <zeeded> its GTK+ Partitioning software
[08:20] <Tmi> its a partition manager
[08:20] <brambo_> This sucks cause I got my Wireless to work this time in Linux, and I gotta delete it and start over again..
[08:20] <godstar> Tmi: he can not get Ubuntu to boot.
[08:20] <Tmi> godstar, I think he is in ubuntu actually
[08:21] <brambo_> Tmi: should I paste bin the results?
[08:21] <Tmi> if it doesnt even boot then a reinstall is absolutely in order :D
[08:21] <Tmi> brambo, yeah do
[08:21]  * godstar scratches head.
[08:21] <draconis> godstar: yeah, I saw that, I just thought there was an issue with gparted. now that clears it up
[08:22] <godstar> I was under the impression, Ubuntu was not booting for him.
[08:22] <brambo_> Tmi: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/284385/
[08:22] <Tmi> nah he is in ubuntu but cant do any updates due to diskspace being used
[08:22] <Tmi> brambo, start it by typing "gparted" now (I think)
[08:23] <brambo_> yeah but I picked for Ubuntu to use 50GB of my hard drive, its wierd...
[08:23] <godstar> brambo, is this a live cd session or no?
[08:23] <Tmi> I dont know much about the program itself, but you might be able to extend partitions in there
[08:23] <brambo_> no, not LiveCD, the system is installed
[08:23] <godstar> kk
[08:23] <godstar> In that case.
[08:23] <godstar> Gparted it is.
[08:23] <brambo_> Tmi: did you get my pastebin?
[08:23] <Tmi> godstar, the problem seems to be that it is installed but on a 2.3 Gb partition instead of the intended 50 Gb
[08:23] <zeeded> how do you do a screenshot from a term?
[08:24] <Tmi> brambo, yes, try starting gparted by writing "gparted"
[08:24] <Tmi> zeeded, "scrot"
[08:24] <godstar> Tmi: appears so.
[08:24] <brambo_> oh, well I am so new to Ubuntu I dunno how to swtich it, so I will have to delete it all and start oveer again I think...:-(
[08:24] <brambo_> Since GParted is a powerful tool capable of destroying partition tables and vast amounts of data, only root may run it.
[08:24] <Tmi> just try playing around with the options in gparted and see if it is possible to change partition sizes
[08:25] <godstar> brambo, do you remember what size partition you chose for /root, and swap directories?
[08:25] <le-foot> hello to any songbird users - I have 9.04 and songbird 1.0, and I have media keys working in Rhythmbox and Totem. - just not in Songbird. Is there a way to fix this? MMkeys didn't do the trick. Thanks
[08:25] <Tmi> if you want to run as root you write "sudo gparted"
[08:25] <Tmi> and enter your password when prompted for it
[08:25] <brambo_> I didnt chose anything, I just selected it to install next to Windows Vista and slided a bar to the left so Ubuntu used 50GB
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> play with gparted on a virtialbox machine :) to learn its features
[08:26] <godstar> brambo, correct. Honestly, gparted is friendly to learn, however, reload for a beginner will better suited. Book back into Windows, and reformat the Ubuntu partition. When you are ready to reload, let us know we can help you from there.
[08:26] <zeeded> godstar: someone new to linux is not going to remember that. Especially an Ubuntu user
[08:26] <godstar> zeeded: good point.
[08:26] <zeeded> :)
[08:27] <brambo_> I like Linux, how stable it is, I wannna learn it...so I am gonna delete it and reinstall it.
[08:27] <Tmi> his / is 2.3 Gb
[08:27] <godstar> zeeded: then again, he could've been paying attention, or better yet wrote down his steps?
[08:27] <brambo_> I am getting so angry with Windows....
[08:27] <vtec> does anyone know of an auto clicker for linux ubuntu GNOME that will just click ever 2 seconds in the same place?
[08:27] <Tmi> brambo, yeah that is probably the best option since that will only take about half an hour or so
[08:28] <brambo_> godstar: all I did was select time zone and keyoard type etc, and it said starting partition manager, then I slide a bar to the left to select 50GB for Ubuntu instead of deleting Windows, and hit next..
[08:28] <brambo_> Tmi: yeah
[08:28] <godstar> brambo, read my previous post.
[08:29] <vtec> does anyone know of an auto clicker for linux ubuntu GNOME that will just click ever 2 seconds in the same place?
[08:29] <blue-frog> brambo: before reinstalling.     sudo apt-get clean
[08:29] <brambo_> blue-frog: I am just deleteing and installing agian, I am not sure how to reinstall
[08:30] <brambo_> I am new to Linux
[08:30] <brambo_> Thank you all, I am just gotta boot Windows, delete Ubuntu and just install it over again...
[08:30] <blue-frog> brambo: might be interesting to know if you have those 50G spare which I doubt before reinstaling
[08:30] <brambo_> in the morning, I am tired must sleep now..
[08:30] <Tmi> go ahead brambo, that's easier than trying to fix it in other ways
[08:30] <zeeded> good luck brambo_
[08:31] <brambo_> thank you zeeded, tmi, godstar, blue-frog
[08:31] <zeeded> np bro
[08:31] <godstar> brambo, anytime.
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> why d you bneed to boot to winbdows to delete linux?
[08:31] <Tmi> np, good luck with your linux adventure tomorrow :)
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> the installer can do that.
[08:31] <brambo_> Dr Willis: I am new to Linux so I am not sure how, I know how to though in Windows.
[08:32] <vtec> does anyone know of an auto clicker for linux ubuntu GNOME that will just click ever 2 seconds in the same place?
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> brambo_:  play with the partition tool in the installer..
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> brambo_:  actually you could delete it from within a running linux. :) but thats weird... to self destruct the os that way
[08:32] <godstar> Dr_Willis: brambo is concerned with deleting his files on the remaining partition(s),
[08:33] <zeeded> Do you guys know of any easy way to set a wallpaper from the term?
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> well good luck to him. :)
[08:33] <tehbaut> is there a GUI SSH tool like WinSCP for linux/ubuntu?
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> zeeded:  xsetbg, esetroot, or a dozen other commands can do it
[08:33] <brambo_> Thank you all I am gonna go now to start the process.
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  the normal gnome file manager can connect over ssh and do things.
[08:34] <zeeded> thanks Doc
[08:34] <brambo_> If I can stay awake to start this, I will come back and let you guys know! :)
[08:34] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: ah, cool... so how can I set that up?
[08:34] <brambo_> am I allowed to post my yahoo messenger ID here?
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  check out the  Places--> connect to server. :) logical eh.
[08:34] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: how about a nice SSH sync between server and computer?
[08:35] <le-foot> brambo_ - i would just IM them
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  ssh and rsync can do that. theres also some guy tools - but i rarely use them
[08:35] <brambo_> what do I type to message a certain user here like u did me le-foot ?
[08:35] <blue-frog> tehbaut: unison-gtk
[08:35] <tehbaut> Dr_Willis: ok, and rsync can be automated, I assume? say every time a file is saved locally, it can sync it?
[08:36] <le-foot> brambo_: on the right hand side, find the username and click on 'IM'
[08:36] <le-foot> is anyone here familiar with lirc? thanks :)
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  ive not used rsync in ages..  thats its main job owever. :)
[08:37] <Dr_Willis> tehbaut:  you  could set up a cron job to sync every 30 min or so
[08:37] <tehbaut> hmmm
[08:37] <a|3x> hi, i am trying to recover some data from hard drive that was in raid1 with ntfs, when i try to mount i get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member'", any ideas how to mount this thing?
[08:40] <mhh> hello.. I left home and forgot to enable desktop sharing.. anyway to enable it through a ssh session? (The computer at home is loged in)
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> mhh:  you could ssh in, and install/run vncserver. but that would make a new 'shared' desktop thats hidden. NOT the same as the one you have running locally.
[08:42] <blue-frog> mhh gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> mhh:  and really you want to ssh tunnle vnc over the interent.. so thats another layer of things to do.
[08:42] <blue-frog> mhh: gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/prompt_enabled false
[08:42] <blue-frog> mhh in fact I am going to psetebin you the process
[08:42] <emanux> hello, is there a nautilus-ldap browser?
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> mhh:  is the system logged in to the desktop now? or not at all?
[08:43] <mhh> blue-frog:  thanks
[08:43] <mhh> Dr_Willis: yes.. the system is logged in athome
[08:43] <melik> can anyone recommend me a good mail server for linux? is Zimbra good?
[08:43]  * tlamer hm
[08:43] <firecrotch> mhh: You ccould ssh in and install, then run x11vnc, which will allow you to view your desktop via VNC
[08:43] <nutterpc> hello all
[08:44] <nutterpc> who else here has had issies with running KernelCheck?
[08:44] <nutterpc> can i ask
[08:44] <blue-frog> mhh should be ebough http://pastebin.com/d6190a13b
[08:44] <crypt3or> anyone ever had an eSATA drive just 'disappear' in the middle of a transfer?
[08:44] <zebastian> how do you keep the terminal from executing a command it's already executing
[08:45] <zebastian> i want to show an input on pastebin for y'all to help me
[08:45] <a|3x> i am trying to recover some data from hard drive that was in raid1 with ntfs, when i try to mount i get "mount: unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member'", any ideas how to mount this thing?
[08:45] <zebastian> but the input is too big
[08:45] <nutterpc> as I have contacted the developer of it as I have almost got the program to successfully run, just need to see who else is having the dramas as well
[08:45] <nutterpc> they know about the bug with it not working properly, which is what I am currently working on fixing
[08:47] <zebastian> using rsync -avh --delete --stats /home/sebastian/ /media/SAMSUNG/mybackup didn't work, there's a whole bunch of files it doesn't give me permissions to, now the external hard drive is already mounted, so i dont get why i don't have permissions to it, i even used sudo in front of the command, any help much appreciated
[08:47] <zebastian> we're talking an external drive
[08:47] <crypt3or> I copy a couple gigs of data, and then it goes: "cp: writing './myfile.tar.gz.113': Input/output error" for all the rest of the files, and then when I sudo fdisk -l, the drive no longer appears.  plugging and unplugging doesn't bring it back
[08:47] <emanux> what is a good ldap client?
[08:47] <firecrotch> a|3x: was this a hardware raid or a software raid via mdadm?
[08:48] <howitzer`> or a police raid..
[08:48] <zebastian> i'm getting outputs like  "/media/SAMSUNG/mybackup/Music/Karl Marx - Capital Vol 1.pdf" failed: Operation not permitted (1)
[08:48] <zebastian> can someone help me out here
[08:49] <zebastian> just got this rsync error: received SIGINT, SIGTERM, or SIGHUP (code 20) at rsync.c(541) [sender=3.0.4] and hten back to prompt
[08:49] <Mysterious> Sorry for bothering you here. I would like to know where I can find a good devenv that supports GTK dev with graphical creation of gtk forms
[08:50] <a|3x> firecrotch: i am not exactly sure, it was a windoze vista system, then processor failed so i am trying to get the data out
[08:51] <godstar> a|3x: why not use a Ubuntu Live CD to back up your data?
[08:51] <a|3x> thats what i am trying to do
[08:51] <a|3x> and its not mounting
[08:52] <a|3x> mount: unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member'
[08:52] <firecrotch> a|3x: what is the output of fdisk -l ?
[08:52] <Barnabas> a|3x, if it was a hw raid, the controller has been doing the raid mirroring
[08:52] <godstar> a|3x: go to add remove and search for ntfs\
[08:52] <Gianlu24> !it
[08:53] <a|3x> fdisk -l says http://pastebin.com/m50d04675
[08:54] <nutterpc> this is frustrating, lol, I've got this small tiny stumbling block in the way of this program working now, lol
[08:54] <a|3x> when i try to mount /dev/sda3 it says mount: unknown filesystem type 'isw_raid_member'
[08:54] <firecrotch> a|3x: Um... you must have some weird funky setup or something if a regular partition is part of a RAID
[08:55] <Barnabas> a|3x, if this was a vista pc I would move the controller to another working windows machine and install the same version of the raid driver
[08:55] <a|3x> firecrotch: i didn't set it up, it was like that on sony viao laptop
[08:56] <firecrotch> a|3x: are there actually two physical hard drives in there?
[08:56] <a|3x> yes
[08:56] <bullgard4> !sound
[08:57] <a|3x> firecrotch: the funny thing is, the second hard drive is blank
[08:57] <firecrotch> a|3x: ok, so I'm assuming that its a hardware RAID
[08:57] <a|3x> firecrotch: stupid sony setup
[08:57] <a|3x> firecrotch: i have no idea if it is hardware raid
[08:58] <a|3x> firecrotch: that laptop was complaining about raid failure all the time, but i thought it was misconfigured
[08:58] <firecrotch> a|3x: how important is this data?
[08:58] <nutterpc> WOOOOOOOOOOOT
[08:58] <a|3x> firecrotch: very, for someone
[08:58] <nutterpc> it is DONE!
[08:58] <nutterpc> =D
[08:58] <FloodBot2> nutterpc: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:58] <nutterpc> KernelCheck now WORKS
[08:58] <cesarito> how do i readd that little panel at the bottom left of the screen that lets me open firefox and view the desktop?
[08:58] <nutterpc> i just found out what was buggy
[08:59] <firecrotch> a|3x: "very" meaning that someone will die without it?
[08:59] <cesarito> it disappeared and i dont know what happened
[08:59] <a|3x> firecrotch: someone will have to their rebuild contact database, which could be really unpleasant, email archive would be lost, etc
[08:59] <firecrotch> a|3x: alright, so pretty important, I guess
[09:00] <a|3x> firecrotch: irrelevant question, i want to recover it
[09:00] <firecrotch> a|3x: I only ask because I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction and end up making things unrecoverable
[09:00] <a|3x> firecrotch: is it possible to mount this using linux raid
[09:00] <firecrotch> a|3x: I don't think you'll be able to mount it using mdadm, no
[09:01] <d0wn_> is it possible to install libqt3-dev alongside libqt4-dev
[09:01] <draconis> raid normally requires the /exact same/ raid controller to mount it
[09:01] <Barnabas> draconis, precisely
[09:01] <firecrotch> a|3x: what I would do is use fdisk to change the filesystem type flag to ntfs and then try to mount it.  draconis is right though
[09:01] <a|3x> would i be able to change it back?
[09:02] <firecrotch> a|3x: I wouldn't count on what I just said working at all, or being able to change it back, or being able to recover it after doing do
[09:02] <draconis> Barnabas: but it also would depend on the type of raid.. there are "non-striped" raids IIRC
[09:02] <Barnabas> draconis, this is raid 1
[09:02] <nutterpc> does anyone know if the developers of programs come in here at all?
[09:02] <Barnabas> where one side of the raid has not been populated for some reason
[09:02] <a|3x> firecrotch: i don't think it will work, i tried -t ntfs-3g and it said invalid ntfs signature or something
[09:04] <a|3x> firecrotch: i found something on linux raid and this file system type: http://www.linux-archive.org/fedora-development/276039-new-udev-rule-using-mdadm-isw_raid_member.html
[09:05] <tonyyarusso> nutterpc: Some do.
[09:06] <nutterpc> yea
[09:06] <nutterpc> as I think I may have just solved them a bit of hassle with one of the programs listen in the forums
[09:06] <yaron> I am having a problem with a new ubuntu install.  I keep getting GRUB Loading stage1.5.  Then GRUB loading, please wait.... Error 2
[09:06] <nutterpc> few minor quirks still reside, but the program successfully retrieves the data it needs, and parses it
[09:07] <tonyyarusso> nutterpc: You can always a) submit a patch on Launchpad, or b) send an e-mail to the address shown in the maintainer field
[09:07] <firecrotch> a|3x: Have you tried connecting the drive to a Windows machine?
[09:07] <nutterpc> did that, was hopin they may have been in here, lol
[09:07] <nutterpc> :P
[09:07] <a|3x> firecrotch: not yet
[09:07] <fahadsadah> yaron: Is this a dualboot configuration?
[09:08] <yaron> fahadsadah:  yes
[09:08] <fahadsadah> yaron: OK.
[09:08] <fahadsadah> Can you access files on the disk, such as by a liveCD?
[09:08] <yaron> fahadsadah: yes I can
[09:08] <fahadsadah> Please can you pastebin /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[09:08] <fahadsadah> !pastebin
[09:08] <firecrotch> a|3x: Windows might be able to read the filesystem
[09:09] <Barnabas> firecrotch, probably needs the same raid controller and the same version of the raid driver - this is probably a fake raid controller where the driver does a lot of stuff
[09:10] <firecrotch> a|3x: What model of sony vaio is the drive from?
[09:10] <a|3x> firecrotch: it says pcg-8y1l
[09:10] <yaron> fahadsadah: not that easy I am working off my laptop.  My desktop is the one having issues.  I can boot in rescue mode off the install cd but I doubt that has an irc client
[09:10] <firecrotch> Barnabas: It should still be recoverable in some way without the raid controller
[09:11] <firecrotch> since it is RAID1
[09:11] <a|3x> does anybody have any other suggestions about mounting 'isw_raid_member' filesystem type?
[09:11] <fahadsadah> yaron: Actually, it does.
[09:11] <fahadsadah> Pidgin.
[09:11] <fahadsadah> Which can connect to many forms of communication, including IRC.
[09:12] <yaron> fahadsadah: ok can you give me the command line?
[09:12] <firecrotch> a|3x: I am currently trying to get more information on the type of RAID that it is
[09:12] <fahadsadah> To get the file, cat /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:12] <fahadsadah> You don't need to IRC from the box, btw.
[09:12] <fahadsadah> Just pastebin the file, and tell us the URL here.
[09:12] <fahadsadah> !pastebin | yaron
[09:12] <Barnabas> firecrotch, agreed, but since this is apparantley very important data - I would not take any chances
[09:12] <yaron> fahadsadah: how do I get the file from my desktop to my laptop?
[09:13] <fahadsadah> From the desktop, paste the contents into paste.ubuntu.com
[09:13] <firecrotch> a|3x: I can't find any information on the sony website for the model number that you gave me, so I don't think that "pcg-8y1l" is the model
[09:13] <fahadsadah> Memorize the short URL
[09:13] <fahadsadah> Tell us here.
[09:13] <a|3x> firecrotch: crap, i hate sony laptops
[09:13] <a|3x> firecrotch: well it does say thats the model on the back
[09:13] <ManDay> What package do I have to install to obtain PDFLATEX?
[09:14] <firecrotch> a|3x: is there something that starts with VGN anywhere?
[09:14] <Barnabas> a|3x, does lspci tell you anything abount the controller ?
[09:14] <zvacet> yaron : send e-maul to yourself
[09:14] <giveflagiu> CIAO
[09:14] <zvacet> *e-mail
[09:14] <Flannel> ManDay: texlive is the current LaTeX environment, I don't, however know off the top of my head which package is the "main" one
[09:14] <giveflagiu> !LIST
[09:14] <JNSamuel> e-maul, sounds like it would make a good email program
[09:14] <firecrotch> Barnabas: the computer that it is from is dead, from my understanding
[09:15] <ManDay> Flannel, I installed texlive-base but there is only pdftex in it - NOT pdflatex however
[09:15] <a|3x> firecrotch: no vgn anywhere
[09:15] <zvacet> JNSamuel : lapsus calami
[09:15] <Flannel> ManDay: texlive-bin it looks like?
[09:15] <ManDay> texlive-bin i ve got also installed - no pdflatex however
[09:15] <JNSamuel> zvace: ?
[09:16] <Flannel> ManDay: er, texlive-latex?  It's in texlive-latex-bin, but I'm sure that's merely a depends to something else which is more complete
[09:16] <ManDay> ah
[09:16] <pete_> how can i get an application (ushare) to load, when using rc.local does not work, nor the session startup manager
[09:17] <Barnabas> firecrotch, well one way could be to backup the device now using dd
[09:17] <Flannel> ManDay: Maybe it's not.  texlive-latex-base and then texlive-latex-bin
[09:17] <Barnabas> then try to change the file system bit
[09:17] <Barnabas> and mount it
[09:17] <ManDay> i do texlive-latex-base
[09:17] <firecrotch> Barnabas: good suggestion
[09:18] <firecrotch> a|3x: You should try Barnabas' suggestion. Make a complete backup of the drive using dd
[09:18] <bwallum> Anybody having trouble playing dvds and music cds since last kernel update?
[09:18] <a|3x> Barnabas: the cpu is fried on that thing, i can't boot into livecd
[09:19] <a|3x> firecrotch: the cpu is fried on that thing, i can't boot into livecd
[09:19] <Flannel> ManDay: good, because -bin apparently doesn't exist, I don't know where I got my wires crossed :)
[09:19] <zvacet> JNSamuel :http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?gov=0&searchType=ra&s=lapsus+calami&go.x=0&go.y=0
[09:19] <firecrotch> a|3x: you can still back it up using dd if you have it connected to another computer
[09:19] <Barnabas> a|3x, it will be a raw dump of the whole device
[09:20] <a|3x> firecrotch: i could back it up but the question is how do i recover?
[09:20] <JNSamuel> zvacet: still don't understand what "slip of the pen" means. since i don't use pens and im not good with figures of speeches
[09:21] <firecrotch> a|3x: You create the backup using dd, then you can try to mount or otherwise change the device using the backup file that you created
[09:21] <pete_> how can i get an application (ushare) to load, when using rc.local does not work, nor the session startup manager
[09:21] <Lartza_> How can I delete my data from hd's with gparted
[09:21] <firecrotch> a|3x: or, you can then try it on the drive, and if you screw up, you can restore the backup to the drive
[09:21] <Lartza_> Creating new partition table still kept my data
[09:21] <zvacet> JNSamuel :typing error then
[09:22] <a|3x> firecrotch: mount -o ro -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 sda2 -> NTFS signature is missing
[09:22] <cew_libra> hi
[09:22] <a|3x> firecrotch: so i guess changing type in partition table will not work
[09:22] <zvacet> JNSamuel : or writing error
[09:22] <yaron> fahadsadah: ok I tried pastebin.  Pasted the into into the dialog box, filled in my name and hit paste?  What do I do from there?
[09:23] <pete_> a|3x, sudo ntfs-3f /dev/sda2 /mount/point
[09:23] <pete_> -3g*
[09:23] <a|3x> pete_: did that
[09:24] <fahadsadah> yaron: Give me the URL.
[09:24] <a|3x> pete_: NTFS signature is missing
[09:24] <fahadsadah> After having hit paste.
[09:24] <yaron> fahadsadah: http://paste.ubuntu.com/284431/
[09:25] <firecrotch> a|3x: I found a program that you might want to try. It claims to be able to recover data from RAID1 drives. http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[09:25] <fahadsadah> yaron: Thanks.
[09:26] <fahadsadah> yaron: In the XP entry, move the two map statements to above
[09:26] <fahadsadah> rootnoverify	(hd2,0)
[09:28] <yaron> fahadsadah: ok done
[09:28] <firecrotch> a|3x: basically, if there is a valid filesystem on the drive (and there should be, even if the NTFS signature is missing), that program ought to be able to recover it
[09:28] <yaron> fahadsadah: save the file and reboot?
[09:29] <a|3x> firecrotch: i will try it out, thanks a lot for the suggestion
[09:30] <s0m345soone> HEllo there. I need to connect to my modem in order to configure wireless network. But I don't know what's the modem's IP. I connect to the internet using pppoeconf. Anyone know how can I check what's modem's IP?
[09:31] <mcscruff> s0m345soone, whatsmyip.com ?
[09:31] <crypt3or> um, probably need more information about what kind of modem it is, at the very least
[09:31] <fahadsadah> yaron: Yes.
[09:32] <firecrotch> s0m345soone: what is your computer's ip address?
[09:32] <yaron> fahadsadah: same error
[09:32] <yaron> fahadsadah: if it helps.  I never even see  the boot menu
[09:32] <fahadsadah> yaron: Pastebin the output of sudo fdisk -l, please?
[09:32] <s0m345soone> firecrotch: <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:33] <s0m345soone> firecrotch: sorry wrong
[09:33] <firecrotch> s0m345soone: yeah, I was gonna say... lol
[09:34] <s0m345soone> firecrotch: this is my externam ip that ifconfig gave me... I don't know how to check.. ifconfig only shows external IP
[09:34] <ManDay> Flannel, worked fine with texlive-latex thanks pal
[09:34] <firecrotch> s0m345soone: what brand and model is your modem?
[09:34] <fmank> morning folks ... I was wondering if anyone could help me with a dual screen nvidia card issue?
[09:34] <firecrotch> !anyone | fmank
[09:35] <Briareos1> i have a kernel patch - is there a way to compile just the part that is patched as a module?
[09:35] <s0m345soone> s0m345soone: don't know don't have access to it
[09:35] <s0m345soone> firecrotch: don't know don't have access to it
[09:35] <s0m345soone> firecrotch: doesn't this something to do with pppoeconf?
[09:36] <Richard_Martin> Why is IRC dead today
[09:36] <s0m345soone> to determine what's your local IP?
[09:36] <Richard_Martin> this server is ghostsville
[09:36] <Barnabas> s0m345soone, how is it connected to your pc? via ethernet or usb or other?
[09:36] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: ethernet
[09:37] <yaron> fahadsadah: http://paste.ubuntu.com/284443/
[09:38] <Barnabas> s0m345soone, you could try to scan your own network to list IPs
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> Richard_Martin:  it is 5am in the USA :)
[09:38] <Barnabas> nmap is a good tool
[09:39] <Barnabas> for example nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[09:39] <Barnabas> would ping scan all the ips on that subnet
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> findsmb, and smbtree are handy to 'scan' for fileservers/sambaservers  also
[09:41] <Doc_Lappy> anybody here use mysql?
[09:41] <firecrotch> Doc_Lappy: I do
[09:42] <Doc_Lappy> can you tell me how to tell what tables are in a database by the terminal?
[09:42] <aber> irc://irc.freenode.net/#transmission
[09:42] <Doc_Lappy> or if doc as a table exists
[09:42] <Doc_Lappy> and hi again firecrotch
[09:43] <firecrotch> Doc_Lappy: Hello again! I believe "SHOW TABLES" is what you're looking for
[09:43] <aber> sorry didn't mean to spam and paste a link.. was just trying to connect to Transmission IRC channell
[09:43] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: what if it's not on this subnet?
[09:44] <Doc_Lappy> k just type that in when i''am  at the mysql> prompt ?
[09:44] <Barnabas> if your pc and your modem is not on the same subnet they cannot communicate without routing
[09:44] <Madpilot> aber, /join #transmission
[09:44] <Barnabas> so perhaps the modem has no IP
[09:44] <Doc_Lappy> it didn't list any :(
[09:44] <Barnabas> and is just bridging requests onto the nic in your pc
[09:44] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: yes.. but what if they not on 192.168.1*
[09:44] <insmod> question - my firefox  started showing black squares on white pages (randomly) that disappear when I refresh
[09:45] <Doc_Lappy> so I'll try to create it I guess and see if that works
[09:45] <Barnabas> ifconfig should show you our subnet and netmask
[09:45] <Doc_Lappy> CREATE TABLE DOC didn't work :(
[09:45] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>  P-t-P:<IP_ADDRESS>  Mask:<IP_ADDRESS>
[09:46] <Doc_Lappy> have to do some googling I guess to use command line mysql
[09:46] <firecrotch> Doc_Lappy: I'm having the same issue with my server, now that I've tried it
[09:46] <firecrotch> Doc_Lappy: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/show-tables.html
[09:46] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: <IP_ADDRESS> is external
[09:46] <Madpilot> Doc_Lappy, try #mysql
[09:46] <Barnabas> s0m345soone, are you sure the modem has any routing capabilities?
[09:47] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: 100%
[09:47] <crypt3or> the modem has got to be there
[09:47] <nascentmind> Doc_Lappy, you have to use a database first.
[09:47] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: it has external antena I'm pretty sugre it does :D
[09:47] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: this is modem..
[09:47] <crypt3or> I had a sbc modem that pretended to be on a different subnet
[09:47] <Barnabas> has nothing to do with antenna
[09:47] <crypt3or> no wait...
[09:47] <nascentmind> Doc_Lappy, do --> show databases; to list out the databases.
[09:48] <Barnabas> s0m345soone, I think it directly bridges your external IP onto the nic in your pc
[09:48] <pradeep> can i install the karmic gdm in jaunty
[09:48] <joaopinto> pradeep, no
[09:48] <pradeep> joapinto,why so
[09:48] <crypt3or> yeah so the wireless router had an internal subnet of 192.168.1.x, and then the modem created a subnet of 192.168.2.x, and then external to the modem is where you get the world-visible IP address.  So to access the modem's config page, you would go to like <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:49] <joaopinto> pradeep, because it was tested, and could break your system do to package requirements
[09:49] <joaopinto> it was not

[09:50] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: what if I stop pppoeconf?
[09:50] <s0m345soone> Barnabas: and I'm connected to the modem with cable without pppoeconf, internet running=

[09:53] <Madpilot> stupid bot
[09:53] <CBro2007> :)
[09:53] <Doc_Lappy> oh he was a bot no wonder
[09:53] <Doc_Lappy> lol
[09:54] <CBro2007> so then to the non-bot members... how do I change my root password and also add my user to the list of sudoers on Ubuntu?
[09:54] <Madpilot> ubottu, root | CBro2007
[09:54] <Flannel> CBro2007: add the user to the admin group
[09:54] <iceroot> CBro2007: dont use root, use sudo, so you dont have to change the root-passwort
[09:54] <Doc_Lappy> feel like such an idiot when I try to talk to a bot they seem as real as the peeps do in some of these rooms
[09:54] <Doc_Lappy> lol
[09:54] <CBro2007> ok
[09:54] <Madpilot> Doc_Lappy, ubottu is probably the most useful person on this channel :)
[09:54] <firecrotch> Doc_Lappy: Yeah, especially this one, since it was just repeating everything lol
[09:54] <iceroot> CBro2007: the password from sudo is the user-password, not the root-password
[09:55] <CBro2007> can you tell me how to add my user to the admin group?
[09:55] <pradeep> recently my sleep and suspend functions in my laptop does not work?? When i select sleep, the laptop goes to sleep but when i try to resume it does not. I have to restart my system all over. is there any fix
[09:55] <Flannel> CBro2007: sudo adduser username admin
[09:55] <CBro2007> yeah I know I can use sudo to do the commands and I don't need to be root
[09:55] <Doc_Lappy> lol ic
[09:55] <Madpilot> CBro2007, log in as the original user, create the new user(s), make sure they're given sudo privs.
[09:55] <iceroot> CBro2007: good
[09:55] <SabIdiotsHaruNic> hmm
[09:55] <Doc_Lappy> parrot is the one I was referring to some bots are very helpful
[09:56] <hanshenrik> Doc_Lappy: like talking to the bots? ask dpkg about lesbian :p
[09:56] <CBro2007> Flannel: so you suggest recreating the user? and this time giving it admin?
[09:56] <Flannel> CBro2007: Er, do youcurrenly have no user with admin privledges?
[09:56] <Doc_Lappy> I like takk on 80h.org
[09:56] <CBro2007> I do
[09:56] <Flannel> CBro2007: the first user you create (during the install) has admin privledges
[09:56] <CBro2007> the VM I downloaded came with a user and a crazy password :)
[09:56] <Flannel> CBro2007: No, "adduser user group" merely adds the user to the group, not recreating a user.
[09:57] <fancy> which firewall is the best?
[09:57] <Doc_Lappy> it's a good channel IUJ wrote out the bot himself instead of using eggdrop or something and does a lot of stuff that's pretty useful
[09:57] <CBro2007> ok so right now I have a first user.. I created a new user using adduser
[09:57] <Flannel> CBro2007: then sudo adduser newuser admin
[09:58] <Doc_Lappy> yeah you can adduser from terminal and give it pswd
[09:58] <firecrotch> fancy: depends on what your needs are
[09:58] <CBro2007> Flannel:  that didn't work
[09:58] <Flannel> Doc_Lappy: You can do it with theGUI too, I just don't know the exact steps anymore
[09:58] <Doc_Lappy> I didn't think of that I usually use the gui
[09:58] <CBro2007> Flannel: do I log in as the admin user and then issue that command?
[09:58] <pradeep> anyone help me solve my problem
[09:58] <fancy> for my system
[09:58] <CBro2007> Flannel: currently logged on as newuser
[09:58] <Flannel> CBro2007: You need to be on your admin user, then sudo adduser newuser admin (where "newuser" is the username of your other use)
[09:58] <CBro2007> so maybe that is the problem?
[09:59] <CBro2007> cool
[09:59] <CBro2007> lemme try that out
[09:59] <Flannel> CBro2007: you can't give yourself higher privledges ;)
[09:59] <CBro2007> hehehe yeah :)
[10:00] <firecrotch> fancy: If your system is just a desktop system, you really don't need a firewall. Ubuntu ships with services listening on any ports by default
[10:00] <firecrotch> fancy: sorry - no services listening on any ports
[10:00] <Doc_Lappy> well from what I remember your login name you start with is even higher than root to give out privledges and can give yourself priveledges or take them away under users and groups, under admin and under system
[10:01] <Doc_Lappy> so that's how I always did it with gui
[10:01] <firecrotch> Doc_Lappy: There is nothing higher than root...
[10:01] <starcannon> firecrotch there is always liveCD, it owns even root :)
[10:01] <Doc_Lappy> well you have to give root a password though firecrotch
[10:02] <downstar> can anyone seperately message me, that can help me with the worst sound problem ever >.<
[10:02] <Doc_Lappy> lol starcannon
[10:02] <Doc_Lappy> true
[10:02] <firecrotch> starcannon: true, physical access > root
[10:02] <Doc_Lappy> sound? sorry downstar don't know anything about fixing sound
[10:03] <downstar> my sound is broken like no other
[10:03] <downstar> :/
[10:03] <Doc_Lappy> mines always worked by default
[10:03] <starcannon> The only secure hard drive, unfortunately requires a blow torch and 10 minutes of time.
[10:03] <downstar> well, mine did when i first install ubuntu.
[10:03] <firecrotch> downstar: perhaps if you explain what the problem is someone can help you
[10:03] <downstar> okay
 thank you .. i understood
[10:03] <Doc_Lappy> well undo what you did if you can remember downstar
[10:04] <Doc_Lappy> otherwise I don't know other than google if nobody else here knows
[10:04] <Doc_Lappy> is it in your devices
[10:04] <starcannon> downstar, I have used this guide with great result: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739
[10:04] <Doc_Lappy> I forget the terminal cmd for showing devices
[10:04] <Scorch> Hello! Can I get a question answered?

[10:05] <fcs> !de
[10:05] <starcannon> Scorch yes, just ask
[10:05] <firecrotch> !ask | Scorch
[10:05] <Doc_Lappy> yeah that's it I need to write that down somewhere firecrotch
[10:05] <godstar> brambo:
[10:05] <downstar> i installed ubuntu about a week ago, and my sound was fine. then i downloaded wine and a bunch of crap, and my sound went out, out of nowhere, so i reinstalled cause i couldnt figure it out. and now with a fresh install (2nd time) i have a horrible screeching sound instead of my music thats supposed to be playing
[10:06] <starcannon> Doc_Lappy I really like lshw as well. sudo lshw -html > ~/Desktop/hardware.html is a great command
[10:06] <Scorch> Thanks. I got today's security update, but it took nearly an hour just to D/L with a 5mb dsl
[10:06] <ubuntu_> Hi, I deleted all partitions to Ubuntu since I gotta reinstall it, but it is  still telling me in the Partition manager I have several operating systems installedt
[10:06] <ubuntu_> How do I start from scratch?
[10:06] <starcannon> Scorch 9.10 beta released on the first, the servers are slammed, it will be a few days until speed improves
[10:06] <downstar> ubuntu_: cant u use the partition manager manually and erase the partitions altogether?
[10:07] <bullgard> Empathy > Contact List > Help > Debug reports: "empathy/Account-DEBUG: 1.254544e+09: account_manager_name_owner_cb: Name owner changed for org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager, new name: :1.67." What does  the message »Name owner changed for org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager« mean?
[10:07] <ubuntu_> downstar I deleted the partitions but they are still there..
[10:07] <ubuntu_> I have swap, and two installs of Ubuntu 9.04 it says...then windows
[10:07] <Scorch> Ok I had the updates on automatic. I thought there was a prob with my side
[10:07] <Doc_Lappy> ubuntu as long as you do a new install and make sure to use the default 'use entire disk' it shouldn't matter
[10:07] <downstar> did you continue to install? cause if you delete the partitions, but dont go through with the install, it doesnt erase them :(. i tryed the same thing.
[10:07] <starcannon> Scorch prolly not, its just that time of the year :)
[10:08] <ubuntu_> I don't wanna use the entire disc, I have another OS on my hard drive I am keeping.
[10:08] <ubuntu_> Alongside Ubuntu
[10:08] <Doc_Lappy> oh well use the advanced option or whatever then
[10:08] <Scorch> Cool! I'm an XP refugee and still haven't gotten used to nirvana
[10:08] <Doc_Lappy> and slide how much over that you want to keep
[10:08] <starcannon> Scorch it will happen again next year 4th month of 2010, release 10.04
[10:09] <ubuntu_> I tried the advanced options, I am at that screen now, im on LiveCD session
[10:09] <bullgard> cwillu_: '~$ lsb_release; No LSB modules are available.'
[10:09] <ubuntu_> I just need to delete and get rid of the partitions  swap /dev/sda6 dev/sda5 and another Ubuntu one thats there n do a new install along side my other OS.
[10:09] <archy008> does anybody know how to fix the following sound issue? - the gnome-sound-properties don't start, neither does the volume manager, and when I try to start them manually i get errors instead... still the sound DOES work in the guest account..
[10:09] <Doc_Lappy> well go into the install and where it says use entire disk below is a choice to not use entire disk
[10:09] <archy008> any ideas?
[10:10] <iceroot> bullgard: lsb_release -a
[10:10] <Doc_Lappy> and if its winxp or something it should show it there as a different colour
[10:10] <Scorch> That's for the full ubuntu new release, yes? This was a security update and it was just weird
[10:10] <ubuntu_> I would slide over what I wanna keep, but theres is 3 diff Ubuntu partitions still existing I need to delete
[10:10] <ubuntu_> first
[10:10] <ubuntu_> I have Win Vista
[10:10] <ubuntu_> and it dont see the Linux partitions
[10:11] <Doc_Lappy> ah I see
[10:11] <archy008> i tried reinstalling gnome-sound properties and alsa but it doesn't help
[10:11] <starcannon> archy008 sounds like you got a bad local config file. You could try archiving all of the ~/.* folders, and then one at a time putting them back until you find the culprit
[10:11] <h34rt>  k
[10:11] <ubuntu_> I just wanna get this installed before I head off to sleep and finish it up tomorrow...
[10:11] <archy008> starcannon: I see... is that the only solution?
[10:11] <downstar> couldnt he just try this command sudo alsa force-reload
[10:11] <starcannon> archy008 check out this post, it makes pulse work more better http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=776739
[10:11] <xukun_> how can I burn audo cd using console commands?
[10:11] <ubuntu_> but I gotta find out how to delete these partitions
[10:12] <archy008> starcannon thanks
[10:12] <nikhil_> how to set up default gateway in ubuntu
[10:12] <starcannon> archy008, no not the only solution, just the one that came to me first. Deductive reasoning could make the list of folders to do that to shorter, that and google
[10:12] <downstar> is everyone here using onboard sound? or do you guys have sound cards too?
[10:12] <ubuntu_> onboard here
[10:13] <ubuntu_> laptop
[10:13] <Scorch> I also want to hook-up my HD TV to the computer. My M/B supports it and there is HDMI port on both ends. Do I just plug it in?
[10:13] <starcannon> downstar onboard here, and it sounds fantastic
[10:13] <archy008> starcannon somebody told me I should delete the .gnome folder..
[10:13] <Doc_Lappy> going into grub /boot/grub/menu.lst will fix your grub problems if it causes grub to not come up but as far as del partitions of repeated installs of ubuntu you may have to just install vista again and then do a dual boot of ubuntu again
[10:13] <starcannon> downstar I have my sound going out to a Marants 2270 amp :)
[10:13] <archy008> starcannon although i'm not sure about that...
[10:14] <ubuntu_> How do I delete all partitions that Ubuntu made in the Partition manager during install so all I see is the NTFS Win Vista section, and can re install Ubuntu over?
[10:14] <downstar> if you guys load gnome-volume-control and go to your pref. tab and add switches, do you get an option to check or uncheck something called IEC958?
[10:14] <Doc_Lappy> that or might google del partitions on ubuntu and see if you can do it from terminal somehow
[10:14] <starcannon> archy008 I'd archive it, reboot (a new one will be auto created) and see if that fixes it. Then inside the folder, I'd 1 at a time replace the individual files ommiting any that replicate the problem
[10:14] <ubuntu_> install vista again? that will take a while....
[10:14] <jrib> ubuntu_: you should be able to do that during the ubuntu install iirc otherwise use gparted
[10:14] <ubuntu_> oh man.
[10:14] <archy008> starcannon I see
[10:14] <Doc_Lappy> let me see if I can help you google another option
[10:14] <louis> Kk I'm back
[10:15] <bullgard> iceroot: 'Description:	Ubuntu karmic (development branch)' is not detailed enough.
[10:15] <Doc_Lappy> but that's what I ended up doing when I made that mistake once
[10:15] <starcannon> archy008 the only reason I'd archive it is to give me the chance to a: find out the cause, and b: preserve as many of my custom settings as possible
[10:15] <ubuntu_> jrib can i use GParted when on Live session user ?
[10:15] <jrib> ubuntu_: yes
[10:15] <owen1> i installed boxee but typing 'boxee' in terminal tells me 'command not fonud'. any clues?
[10:15] <ubuntu_> jrib it says Command not found
[10:15] <ubuntu_> when I type it in Terminal
[10:15] <archy008> starcannon ok so if I got it right - I should archive all the folders from home back them up somewhere - delete them from the home folder and then restart
[10:16] <Slurpee> anyone want to help on the age old battle of mass renaming files via command line?
[10:16] <Doc_Lappy> ah I have gparted cd that's probably pretty old now but didn't know how to use it
[10:16] <jrib> ubuntu_: well first, why aren't you just doing it during the install process if you are able to?
[10:16] <downstar> Slurpee use the mv command
[10:16] <Slurpee> looking for a simple 1 liner to rename all files in a directory to remove a space
[10:16] <Slurpee> ive been searching for the past hour
[10:16] <jrib> !ask | Slurpee
[10:16] <nikhil_> how to set up default gateway in ubuntu
[10:16] <ubuntu_> jrib its not giving me a option to delete them in the install process
[10:16] <Slurpee> people have so many wacky bash scripts
[10:16] <jrib> ubuntu_: type "gparted" all lowercase
[10:17] <Doc_Lappy> jrib he just messed up I'd say and didn't finish the install then started the install over again
[10:17] <starcannon> archy008 I'd likely start by trying archiving just the ~/.gnome folder as previously suggested, you can always archive other folders if that doesn't do it. Remember ~/ is home, and . (dot) prefix is hidden CTRL+H reveals them
[10:17] <downstar> try using mv 'name of file' 'new name of file'
[10:17] <starcannon> actually ~/ is users home
[10:17] <downstar> that was for Slurpee*

[10:17] <Slurpee> how to use the mv command?
[10:17] <Slurpee> there is a lot of ways
[10:18] <Doc_Lappy> are you on root ubuntu?
[10:18] <jrib> Slurpee: why not just tell the channel what you are trying to do?
[10:18] <downstar> you want to just rename a file via Command Line correct?
[10:18] <archy008> starcannon ok, thanks a lot. I'll give it a try
[10:18] <ubuntu_> Doc_Lappy Im on a Live CD Session
[10:18] <owen1> i installed boxee but typing 'boxee' in terminal tells me 'command not fonud'. any clues?
[10:18] <Doc_Lappy> don't understand live cd should be on root default
[10:18] <louis> okay first time to use a remote access tool for getting to me linbox. I used this guide: http://www.zimbio.com/Linux/articles/lA4qecuC6Lc/How+install+setup+TightVNC+Debian+Ubuntu+Tutorial
[10:18] <Slurpee> i am using images as an example.  I am trying to organize all my folders on a remote server.  must be CLI.
[10:18] <starcannon> arch008 cool I'm by the same handle on ubuntuforums.org be sure to let me know how you make out if you don't catch me in here later

[10:18] <ortsvorsteher> Slurpee: try the man page "man mv" also you can make an test dir with test files to mv some files
[10:18] <jrib> Slurpee: one line please...
[10:18] <Slurpee> see how files have space?
[10:18] <Doc_Lappy> that's what I thought you said, so I don't understand the error msg....hmmm
[10:19] <notthere> hello people
[10:19] <Slurpee> I want to remove the spaces from all of the files
[10:19] <jrib> Slurpee: 's/ //'
[10:19] <Slurpee> replace spaces with _
[10:19] <starcannon> archy008 cool I'm by the same handle on ubuntuforums.org be sure to let me know how you make out if you don't catch me in here later

[10:19] <ubuntu_> I just need to delete these partitions so I can install Ubuntu again.... :-S
[10:19] <louis> so when I type sudo xemacs  /$HOME/.vnc/xstartup
[10:19] <Slurpee> mv s/ /_/
[10:19] <Slurpee> ?
[10:19] <louis> I get an error
[10:20] <jrib> Slurpee: no.  You asked about the "rename" command, didn't you?
[10:20] <Scorch> I guess I asked a stupid question.
[10:20] <Doc_Lappy> yes and for good practice if your into programming you may also use like exampleFile.txt
[10:20] <Doc_Lappy> making the second word caps
[10:20] <starcannon> louis open Places>Home Folder then press CTRL+H and look for the .vnc folder, just to double check if its there, and if so whats inside it
[10:20] <downstar> Slurpee juse use the mv command so IE: mv Birthday (2).JPG Birthday(2).JPG
[10:20] <Slurpee> jrib any command to do it. I have been playing witha few....rename, mv, mmv
[10:20] <Doc_Lappy> that's what I prefer than a underline myself
[10:20] <Slurpee> i want it to change all of the files in a directory
[10:20] <Slurpee> i am talking thousands of pictures
[10:20] <jrib> Slurpee: use rename -nv 's/ /_/' FILE1 FILE2 ...
[10:21] <archy008> starcannon - one more question - I have more gnome folders - .gnome, .gnome2 and .gnome2_private
[10:21] <Slurpee> rename -nv 's/ /_/' * ?
[10:21] <Doc_Lappy> slurpee what are you wanting to do with the files?
[10:21] <ubuntu_> I have Windows Vista installed and Ubuntu, whats the easiest way to delete ubuntu and the partitions all  together as tho Ubuntu was never on my drive?
[10:21] <Slurpee> remove spaces with _
[10:21] <ubuntu_> so I can install again
[10:21] <jrib> Slurpee: yes, that will just tell you what it would do.  Remove the -n to actually do it
[10:21] <archy008> starcannon what does that mean? and the .gnome is empty.. well it has only an apps folder with some google earth .desktop file
[10:21] <starcannon> archy008 its probably statistically advantageous to do them one at a time till you find the problem child
[10:21] <notthere> i just installed latest kernel for ubuntu,feels great ,but ati fglrx drivers still are slow as hell, i went back to default ati drivers, i have a asus 4850 ,will they ever fix those issues ?
[10:21] <Slurpee> rename -v 's/ /_/'
[10:21] <ortsvorsteher> ubuntu_: insert the install cd and create all partitions new
[10:22] <jrib> Slurpee: If you want to translate all spaces not just "a space", then append 'g' to your replacement command...
[10:22] <Doc_Lappy> oh ouch, ya I don't know how to do that in a simple cmd
[10:22] <jrib> Slurpee: run it with -n first.
[10:22] <Slurpee> ?
[10:22] <ubuntu_> but that leaves the old partitions there when I do that...I am at the install screen now
[10:22] <jrib> Slurpee: I have no idea what your question mark is for.  Do you have a question?
[10:22] <Slurpee> yes
[10:22] <jrib> Slurpee: then just ask it
[10:22] <starcannon> archy008 r-click the folder choose "create archive" then after its finished, delete the source folder; reboot and see if it's fixed; when you find the folder that is guilty, start going through its files in a similar fashion
[10:22] <Slurpee> can you tell me the command?
[10:22] <Doc_Lappy> should be a way though with wildcard and a rename cmd somehow, good luck slurpee
[10:23] <jrib> Slurpee: I told you the command already and you repeated it to me.
[10:23] <Slurpee> not sure what you mean by append 'g'
[10:23] <notthere> the question is , ati drivers work very well at 8.04 ubuntu ,but not in 9.04 or 9.10 even with the latest kernel, why is that ?
[10:23] <Slurpee> see I have found like 20 methods of doing this
[10:23] <ortsvorsteher> Slurpee: you ever heard of an sed command?
[10:23] <Slurpee> all totally differnt
[10:23] <jrib> Slurpee: did you read what else I told you when I told you you might want to append 'g'?  Is that what you want or not?
[10:23] <Slurpee> yes, i have heard of the streamline eidtor
[10:23] <starcannon> louis looks like you don't have the default user folder for vnc, have you run vnc yet?
[10:23] <jrib> !who | Slurpee
[10:24] <starcannon> louis you need to run vnc once in order for it to create the folder
[10:24] <starcannon> louis try that now
[10:24] <archy008> starcannon got it.. thanks for helping a newbie
[10:24] <starcannon> archy008 my pleasure GL and HF
[10:24] <archy008> starcannon btw - here is the detailed problem described on the forum - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1279408
[10:25] <starcannon> archy008 cool, well done searching the problem, those forums are invaluable if your having issues, as is this channel
[10:25] <louis> kk any idea on the command?
[10:25] <firecrotch> Slurpee: in the directory that you want to rename the files in: rename -v 's/\ /\_/g' *
[10:25] <firecrotch> Slurpee: it will change all spaces into underscores
[10:25] <Slurpee> yes!
[10:25] <Slurpee> that did it
[10:25] <ubuntu_> OK, I deleted all Ubuntu Partitions but when I press back, it still says I have several operating systems installed...How is this?
[10:25] <starcannon> louis the command to run vnc? Applications>Sound & Video>VNC
[10:26] <Slurpee> thank you firecrotch
[10:26] <firecrotch> Slurpee: You're welcome :)
[10:26] <Gnarlkill> i dont understand how i can get simplite to run trough wine ... i get the config option up, but when i try to run simplite.exe it doesnt start .. whats this?
[10:26] <archy008> starcannon right.. oh, that was me who posted that problem. ok, I'm gonna try archiving the gnome folders.
[10:26] <Gnarlkill> and simpserver is too unstable
[10:27] <starcannon> archy008 lol cool, hehe
[10:27] <Doc_Lappy> don't know how you figured that one out but good job firecrotch
[10:27] <Doc_Lappy> assume you cheated and googled it lol
[10:27] <louis> okay here it is : /home/louis/.vnc/xstartup
[10:28] <starcannon> Doc_Lappy the one with the best google fu is the master of the chan :)
[10:28] <Doc_Lappy> lol starcannon
[10:28] <firecrotch> Doc_Lappy: Hehe actually it was in my .bash_history
[10:28] <ubuntu_> How come even after I deleted the Ubuntu Partitions in the install menu it still says they are there?
[10:28] <starcannon> louis there ya go, not sure what you were up to, but theres your file you were looking for :)
[10:28] <Doc_Lappy> I see firecrotch
[10:28] <jrib> firecrotch: you don't need to escape the space or the underscore by the way
[10:29] <nikhil_> how to share internet connection between ubuntu and vista? i have ubuntu desktop with internet and vista on my laptop. i can ping each computer and share folders using winscp.  however unable to share internet connection
[10:29] <erUSUL> !inetsharing | nikhil_
[10:29] <starcannon> louis doh, right, I just use xtightvnc for that
[10:30] <starcannon> louis xtightvncviewer is the command to launch it the way i do it
[10:30] <firecrotch> jrib: ah, you're absolutely correct. I dunno why I did
[10:30] <Doc_Lappy> that only changes the grub menu if I understand you right ubuntu, taking them off /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't remove the partitions just doesn''t show them
[10:30] <Doc_Lappy> at least that's what I assume your doing
[10:30] <starcannon> louis xtightvnc is available in System>Administration>Synaptic Package Manager
[10:30] <Doc_Lappy> instead of actually removing the partitions
[10:31] <louis> I wanted to access my desktop from school /w KDE and thats the guide on how to get a GUI Session instead of a remote Bash prompt lol
[10:31] <Slurpee> i have another rename question :)......say I had the files "birthday_(2).JPG  birthday_(3).JPG  birthday_(4).JPG  birthday_(5).JPG  birthday.JPG".  how could I rename the files "birthday_(0002).JPG  birthday_(0003).JPG ....... birthday_(0010).JPG  birthday_(0011).JPG  birthday.JPG"
[10:31] <starcannon> louis you do know that Ubuntu has a remote desktop client built in for vnc and for rdp right?
[10:31] <Slurpee> is there a way I can search the string for values of numbers? then replace the number incrementally?
[10:32] <louis> nope
[10:32] <jrib> Slurpee: um, you don't want the numbers to be consistent?  3 --> 0003? instead of 3 --> 0002 in case there is no 2?
[10:32] <Slurpee> yea
[10:32] <Slurpee> thats what I meant
[10:32] <notthere> can anyone give an answer?
[10:32] <jrib> Slurpee: which one?
[10:32] <insmod> anyone?
[10:32] <Doc_Lappy> instead of inserting the _ you should be able to put in two 00 Slurpee but I don't kknow
[10:32] <Slurpee> 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14.  that messed up files names
[10:32] <louis> Point me in the general direction of the software name for those?
[10:32] <jrib> !helpme | notthere, insmod
[10:32] <starcannon> louis ah, okies, before you spend to much sweat, see if the default will do the job: Applications>Internet>Remote Desktop Viewer or Terminal Client Server
[10:33] <Doc_Lappy> oh I see Slurpee
[10:33] <Natovr> Hey ^_^ I'm installing a new Ubuntu on my hard drive on a separate partition. I'm worried that it will make my computer use the new Ubuntu's GRUB bootloader.. how can I force it to use the old Ubuntu's bootloader? I'm doing this so I can play around with ATI's many drivers without blocking my ability to do schoolwork. I still have Vista on here too, but it's slow.
[10:33] <starcannon> Remote is best for VNC, and TCS is best for RDP
[10:33] <ubuntu_> What the!! I deleted all the partitions except my NTFS Win Vista one but it still says I have 2 installs of Ubuntu and a swap space on there???
[10:33] <starcannon> RDP==Windows generally
[10:33] <insmod> question - my firefox  started showing black squares on white pages (randomly) that disappear when I refresh
[10:33] <ubuntu_> whats going on, please help...
[10:33] <Doc_Lappy> I doubt you can do that without doing it by hand but who knows someone here may know a trick
[10:33] <jrib> Slurpee: you need to address people you are answering or it gets pretty confusing.  You answered "yes" to my 3 questions so I have no idea what you meant by that "yes"
[10:34] <Doc_Lappy> ubuntu explain more
[10:34] <downstar> so, i switched to my onboard sound, from my rocketfish 5.1 soundcard, and i actually have sound now.... suggestions for my sound card to work?
[10:34] <Slurpee> directories are listed.....photo88, photo 89, photo8, photo90, photo91.
[10:34] <owen1> i installed boxee but typing 'boxee' in terminal tells me 'command not fonud'. any clues?
[10:34] <Doc_Lappy> are you using the gparted cd like someone said earlier
[10:34] <starcannon> louis if you want another to be able to get to your computer, enable Remote Desktop through System>Preferences>Remote Desktop
[10:34] <jrib> owen1: how did you install it?
[10:34] <Doc_Lappy> or just the live 9.4 cd
[10:34] <Natovr> heh, I'll ask again at a quieter time XD
[10:34] <stsm> my printer bleeds all colors badly
[10:35] <louis> its called KRDC under KDE 4.3
[10:35] <ubuntu_> Can someone PM me and help guide my through setting up the proper partitions manually for installing Ubuntu please?
[10:35] <stsm> how do i adjust this in ubuntu?
[10:35] <starcannon> louis if you want another to be able to access you, don't forget to open a port on your router; port 5900
[10:35] <Slurpee> so I want extra 0's to help organize the photos.   photo0007, photo0008, photo0009.............. photo0088, photo 0089, photo0090, photo0091.
[10:35] <stsm> if i have a dark color and some lighter spots it will just all look allmost black
[10:35] <stsm> the lighter parts are completely invisible
[10:35] <andguen1> starcannon: be careful with opening up standard ports like that, people will find it and see what they can do with your computer
[10:36] <jrib> Slurpee: um, you don't want the numbers to be consistent?  3 --> 0003? instead of 3 --> 0002 in case there is no 2?
[10:36] <firecrotch> Natovr: There's no reason that I know of that you can't just let it reinstall GRUB
[10:36] <Doc_Lappy> stsm change your transparency?
[10:36] <starcannon> adnguen1 one should always turn off servers when they are not in use, and close ports when the job is done; thats security 101 right there ;)
[10:36] <ubuntu_> Can someone PM me and help guide my through setting up the proper partitions manually for installing Ubuntu please?? I am falling asleep here, tired I just wanna get this installed...
[10:36] <Madpilot> Slurpee, there are command-line tools for that sort of sequential renaming - check gthumb for a photo batch renaming gui, though
[10:36] <stsm> Doc_Lappy, i was hoping this was covered in the printing settings, its not conveniant to make stuff transparent before printing
[10:36] <andguen1> starcannon: or just just use VPN and never open it at all. :)
[10:36] <Natovr> firecrotch, hmm, I'd just like it to be on the old Ubuntu so I can modify it easily, and so on...
[10:37] <Madpilot> Slurpee, f-spot might have a similar function, but i can't stand f-splat and never use it :)
[10:37] <starcannon> andguen1 if one is asking basic questions, then I assume VPN is outside the scope of the conversation
[10:37] <Slurpee> jrib, i don't want the first photo starting with 0.  i want each photo to be the real number...."photo 1" will be photo-0001.jpg"
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu_:  it dosent ahve to be complex.   a / and a swap partition are about all you need.. or let the installer auto-partion.
[10:37] <Guest7436>  hi
[10:37] <Doc_Lappy> oh stsm nevermind I thought you meant your screen
[10:37] <Natovr> firecrotch, and if my new ubuntu breaks from some sort of weird thing I did (which I will do with it), I might lose the ability to modify GRUB.
[10:37] <andguen1> starcannon: Try Hamachi VPN, ridiculously easy to use, easier then opening up router ports
[10:37] <starcannon> andguen1 not being flaming or anything, just explaining my reasoning
[10:38] <firecrotch> Natovr: At the very last screen of the installer, before you commit to installing, there is an "Advanced" button, which has the option to not install GRUB
[10:38] <Natovr> Ahhh, right
[10:38] <jrib> Slurpee: you aren't understanding my question I guess.  Say you have photo1 photo2 and photo4.  Do you want these to be renamed to photo0001 photo0002 and photo0004 or do you want them to be renamed to photo0001 photo0002 and photo0003
[10:38] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis it doesn't wanna auto partition, it thinks I still have several operating systems installed though I deleted all partitions
[10:38] <starcannon> adnguen1 for real? cool, I'll definitely look at that, afk a minute while I google
[10:38] <andguen1> starcannon: No worries, same. :)
[10:38] <Natovr> Thank you, firecrotch ^_^
[10:38] <stsm> Doc_Lappy, if you meant my screen it still doesnt make any sense lol
[10:38] <firecrotch> Natovr: Note that when you're done installing, you'll have to manually create the GRUB entry for your new install
[10:38] <Natovr> OK then
[10:38] <Slurpee> photo0001 photo0002 and photo0003
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu_:  delete them  leaving the space unallocated.. then reboot. so the system sees the changes to the drive. Ive seen some boxs/cases where it dosent see the new partition layout untill a reboot.
[10:39] <Natovr> Thanks very much ^^
[10:39] <starcannon> adnguen1 $199/yr ouch
[10:39] <firecrotch> Natovr: You're very welcome :)
[10:39] <starcannon> I'll just keep doing it the old way hehe
[10:39] <starcannon> free
[10:39] <andguen1> starcannon: Hamachi VPN is like joining a chat room, and then having full network access to any box in said room. The version I'm using is free.....
[10:39] <firecrotch> Slurpee: are you trying to re-re-name the files that we already removed the spaces from?
[10:39] <Natovr> :)
[10:39] <starcannon> adnguen1 ah fricken sweet, okies I'll dig deeper
[10:40] <andguen1> starcannon: should be free for up to 16 computers in one "room"
[10:40] <Slurpee> i had some files with spaces.  now that the spaces are removed. I am making them all lowwer case.  now I want to number them correctly.
[10:40] <starcannon> afk whilst I explore hamachi
[10:40] <ubuntu_> Dr_Willis oh ok! Thank you sir, I will try that! Hopefully it will say install beside windows after reboot instead of "you  have several operating systems installed" like it does now.
[10:40] <Doc_Lappy> lol stsm well nevermind I guess I was thinking of the control panels that you can change transparency on I did that once on accident and couldn't read my contol panel icons lol that's what I was thinking of, ya the screen is just a pic not sure which option ubuntu has for like centered, tiled, stretch, etc
[10:40] <Guest7436>  hi
[10:41] <andguen1> starcannon: heads up, last time I looked there was no integrated linux GUI
[10:41] <stsm> Doc_Lappy, aaaah gnome-panel, now i know what you mean
[10:41] <Doc_Lappy> I'm tired stsm please don't laugh at me :(
[10:41] <firecrotch> Slurpee: you want them to be in the format photo_0001.jpg, photo_0002.jpg, etc?
[10:41] <Slurpee> yes
[10:41] <stsm> how do i set my printer to use less ink please?
[10:41] <andguen1> Guest7436: hi, if you have a question, feel free to go ahead and ask it, just keep everything to one line so we can read it :)
[10:41] <stsm> it uses far too much ink
[10:41] <ortsvorsteher> !coffee | Doc_Lappy
[10:41] <ortsvorsteher> ;)
[10:42] <Doc_Lappy> what kind of printer is it stsm
[10:42] <ubuntu_> <--I want some coffee !!! :)
[10:42] <Doc_Lappy> if it's hp then when you install the drivers or cd if you have one that is for linux which I think I did and lost I think it gives you some options but not sure how much
[10:43] <ubuntu_> Hey the Partitions came back after I deleted them!!!???
[10:43] <notthere> does anyone knows how to fix the slow issue with the ati drivers
[10:43] <stsm> Doc_Lappy, psc2105, i had to use hpoj, hplip didnt work for some reason
[10:43] <Doc_Lappy> may be a bit complicated to adjust that with terminal
[10:43] <ubuntu_> How???
[10:43] <ubuntu_> They were gone a minute aog
[10:43] <notthere> no opengl, fuck !
[10:43] <ubuntu_> ago
[10:43] <ortsvorsteher> !language | notthere
[10:43] <Doc_Lappy> I see, well is there a config file for it somewhere
[10:44] <firecrotch> Slurpee: I believe there is a program that will do all of this a lot easier than trying to script it
[10:44] <Slurpee> i need command line
[10:44] <Slurpee> there has to be a simple 1liner for all of these commands.
[10:44] <Slurpee> i am documenting them  :)
[10:44] <andguen1> ubuntu_: if you want the whole drive completely wiped, look into dban (dariks boot and nuke). Its a very dangerous utility, but if you want a really really clean drive, its a great free way to get it done
