[16:47] <question_man> joeb3_: not matter how I add/del rules in the route table, packages are always passed to 200.2.
[16:47] <llutz> harinder: man sux
[16:48] <harinder> llutz: to display the display number?
[16:48] <joeb3_> question_man, is 200.253 an ethernet card on your local machine?
[16:48] <question_man> tgpraveen4: not know about aint
[16:48] <question_man> no
[16:48] <question_man> joeb3_: another host in the VPN
[16:49] <joeb3_> question_man, Then it must go to 200.2 first, that's your gateway to that network
[16:49] <question_man> joeb3_: you see my route table? http://pastebin.com/m78da3679 no rules are pointing to 200.2
[16:50] <guru3> i'm having trouble getting a cron to run as a regular user... crontab -e and -l works, and it's a copy paste of a line that i know works
[16:50] <jrib> guru3: you should probably paste it so we can help you.  Also, check for mail from cron
[16:50] <joeb3_> question_man, you HAVE to go through 200.2 to get to 200.253....
[16:50] <guru3> */5 * * * * /home/greenroof/process0.sh
[16:51] <guru3> i dont have the mail subsystem installed
[16:51] <razor_X> anyone know the commandline command to see the installed compilers on a system?
[16:51] <joeb3_> question_man, ifconfig ppp0 will show the ip address. It's 200.2, right?
[16:52] <question_man> joeb3_: http://pastebin.com/m3fca8485
[16:52] <question_man> the ifconfig result
[16:52] <relegated> if I want to give my user account full access to /home/otheruser but want to preserve their rights and not replace would I just do chmod 777 myuser:myuser /home/otheruser
[16:53] <question_man> joeb3_: i'm not 200.2, neither 200.253
[16:53] <la> hey im install xubuntu but my familu need open windiws an windos not open .i erracer xubunto but xubuntu and windows no open
[16:53] <la> sorry my englesh its not good
[16:53] <joeb3_> question_man, 200.2 is the vpn server side ip.  All traffic will go through it. the P-t-P entry
[16:53] <Dr_Willis> la:  rephrase that -- because it made NO sence here to me.. :)
[16:53] <Rabbitbunny> sense.
[16:53] <Dr_Willis> cents
[16:53] <Rabbitbunny> Don't bother rephrasing, find his first language and direct him there.

[17:02] <mo0nykit> Hello! I have an Ubuntu 9,04 guest on an XP host. I have just upgraded to a linux-kernel-2.6.31. However, I could not install Guest Additions. It says I don't have the correct kernel headers installed. I tried apt-get install from the karmic repositories (linux-headers-generic), but I still fail. What should I do?
[17:03] <erUSUL> mo0nykit: use the jaunty kernel which is the one fully supported
[17:04] <poisonbit> does ext4 in 9.04 has known issues ? or i can use it quietly ?
[17:04] <mo0nykit> erUSUL, does that mean I'll be stuck with 2.6.28 for now?
[17:04] <poisonbit> i've always used ext3... since i stop using reiser in 2003
[17:05] <erUSUL> mo0nykit: karmic comes ut in a month. what do you so desperatly need of 2.6.31 ??
[17:05] <Fox> Hey all! How do I triple boot with ubuntu/fedora/windows7? or multiple boot linux for that matter? I don't know how to do the partition thing.
[17:05] <EricTheHax> hey i know its easy to do this (found that out the hard way) but i made my ubuntu pc look like a mac and have that genie effect that i tuned to go similar animation speed to the mac genie effect. like i said its easy, but ya gotta start somewhere
[17:06] <erUSUL> !yay
[17:06] <llutz> Fox: create a primary partition first for win7, then some logical drives in an extended partition for all those other OSes
[17:06] <EricTheHax> next i wanna try to put the mac APIs into it so i can run mac apps. thatll take forever. good thing im not even 18 yet (close) otherwise ill never get it done
[17:07] <safruhani> hi, i use the same applications (cotweet on mozilla prism)  both 8.10 and 9.4 , it works on 8.10 like this; http://bit.ly/rln26 , but doesn't work on 9.4 like this ; http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5831/prismcotweet.png , what do you suggest ?
[17:07] <mo0nykit> erUSUL, not desperately :) I just want to try upgrading a kernel, and understand how upgrading works. So, I'll be stuck with 2.6.28 in VirtualBox for now?
[17:07] <erUSUL> mo0nykit: looks like you will
[17:08] <Fox> llutz: what program should I use?
[17:08] <llutz> Fox: your choice, i prefer cfdisk
[17:08] <erUSUL> Fox: all those Os installers will let you parition the disk during install. you can parition it beforehand with gparted from a livecd
[17:09] <Fox> erUSUL: ahhh, thats what i am looking for. why does windows7 have to be first?
[17:10] <llutz> Fox: it makes life easier
[17:10] <KSid> hi guys, when installing Intrepid on VirtualPC with a small footprint should I use "Minimal System" or "Minimal Virtual Machine"
[17:10] <erUSUL> Fox: becouse windows allways thinks it is the only OS in the machine and acts accordingly i.e it shows no respect for others
[17:10] <KSid> Correct me if I'm wrong but I think minimum vm is for vmware
[17:11] <EricTheHax> anyone know what makes mac differ from linux in which it runs the apps it runs?
[17:11] <erUSUL> Fox: basically it will overwritte the linux boot loader
[17:11] <KSid> Oops, wrong channel, ignore me =P
[17:11] <darkham> hi, i've http://pastebin.com/m42ef301b
[17:12] <EricTheHax> O_O
[17:12] <erUSUL> EricTheHax: short answer "they are different OS's."
[17:12] <darkham> how can i extract the tracks in flac with ffmpeg/mencoder/transcode , of the lpcm stream?
[17:12] <EricTheHax> erUSUL: they use a similar kernel
[17:12] <seyfarth> I need a simple way to track system uptime. Preferably something that'll sit on one of GNOME's desktop panels. Recommendations?
[17:13] <Barnabas> EricTheHax, no the really dont
[17:13] <safruhani> any idea about mozilla prism doesn't work on 9.4 ?
[17:13] <llutz> EricTheHax: mac = BSD-based, linux = linux
[17:13] <erUSUL> EricTheHax: well "similar"... they are both more similar than linux an WinNT but...
[17:13] <EricTheHax> Barnabas: yes, they do. they are both unix-based
[17:13] <forceflow> seyfarth: there's the "uptime" terminal command
[17:13] <erUSUL> EricTheHax: anyway we must take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue
[17:13] <Barnabas> EricTheHax, one bsd and one system V family
[17:13] <EricTheHax> o sweet a offtopic channel
[17:14] <poisonbit> seyfarth, and see uptimed, not related to gnome pannels, but...
[17:14] <XDevHald> Hey guys, with openbox, is it easy to get the menu to show up on the top or bottom? I couldn't get it to load even if the obconf is installed.
[17:15] <seyfarth> forceflow poisonbit: thank you!
[17:15] <mo0nykit> erUSUL, thanks for the tip :)
[17:16] <erUSUL> mo0nykit: no problem

[17:19] <Pabix> thank you
[17:19] <bullgard4> Why is there no 'man firefox' in Ubuntu 8.04.3, or am I mistaken?
[17:20] <mrdavid00700> hi
[17:20] <mrdavid00700> hi
[17:20] <mrdavid00700> is there linux user?
[17:20] <rsk> no
[17:20] <Pabix> bullgard4, there is no man firefox because firefox does not get along with man page. probably.
[17:21] <fccf> ruediger: ask in #ubuntu+1 , and that releases in a month .. there's an alpha next week
[17:21] <bullgard4> Pabix: Are you saying that the Firefox makers do not like to comply to Linux rules?
[17:22] <mrdavid00700> ls
[17:22] <musikgoat> fccf: there is an alpha now, beta on teh 1st
[17:22] <mrdavid00700> ey
[17:22] <musikgoat> ruediger: ^^
[17:22] <mrdavid00700> he
[17:23] <komputes> how can I make the libnotify osd notification display a custom message from a command/shell script
[17:23] <Pabix> bullgard4, probably the Mozilla Foundation is not that concerned about it.
[17:23] <jrib> komputes: notify-send
[17:24] <Kuifje111> hello all. I have some serious problems. I get this error "cpu #0 stuck for 61s" when formatting my external HDD using "mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda1".
[17:24] <Kuifje111> my pc is totally locked up after that error occurred.
[17:24] <jrib> komputes: libnotify should provide it
[17:24] <bullgard4> Pabix: Well, in other similar cases Debian or Ubuntu people have wirtten a man page.
[17:25] <Pabix> the package should be libnotify-bin
[17:25] <komputes> jrib: libnotify-bin + notify-send command = win, thanks
[17:25] <poisonbit> bullgard, http://paste.debian.net/47565/
[17:25] <arand> I've got a couple of ~500mb files in ~/.cache How do I fugure out where they came from, and whether or not it's safely removable?
[17:25] <jrib> bullgard4: my guess is that debian did have a man page at some point (I remember it) but no one bothered to do it for 3.0
[17:25] <shawn_> Can Ubuntu not write to FAT32 MP3 player devices?
[17:25] <jrib> shawn_: it can
[17:25] <ghostlines> where can i find the device name of a external hdd, not seeing it with the lsusb command
[17:25] <llutz> ghostlines: sudo fdisk -l
[17:25] <FiremanEd> does not work with router
[17:25] <musikgoat> arand: whats the dir?
[17:25] <shawn_> jrib Why does it keep freezing in the middle of the transfer then and making my CPU usage go to 100% when Im only transfering 10 files
[17:26] <jrib> shawn_: I don't know
[17:26] <FiremanEd> pardon.
[17:26] <Kuifje111> ghostlines: cd /dev/; ls | grep sd
[17:26] <bullgard4> poisonbit: Thank you very much for providing this text.
[17:26] <diips> \quit
[17:26] <ghostlines> llutz, thanks alot, how could i forget about that command!?
[17:26] <llutz> Kuifje111:simply "ls /dev/sd?"
[17:26] <xerox1> just installed cairo-dock; aren't there any themes contained?
[17:27] <wolter> xerox1, i highly recommend gnome-do
[17:27] <wolter> with its docky theme
[17:27] <wolter> instead of any other dock
[17:27] <bullgard4> jrib: Ok. <poisonbit> provided a text for Iceweasel..
[17:27] <poisonbit> yes, in debian there is a policy "no program without man page"
[17:27] <mo0nykit> Kuifje111, I was trying to revive an old computer, and I get similar crashes when formatting the hard disks. I did some memtest86+, and I finally decided that RAM was the culprit
[17:28] <poisonbit> i've see also manpages for simple scripts in debian
[17:28] <relegated> I am trying to use rsync and I have it working but the backed up files have incorrect permissions. Can anyone tell me the proper switches so that I have full access to the files/folders on the backup drive?
[17:28] <jbeitler|m> I have a quick question if anyone has time?
[17:28] <Kuifje111> mo0nykit: all right.
[17:28] <relegated> I am trying to use sudo rsync -r -t -p -o -g -v --progress --delete --ignore-existing /home/user /media/Backup
[17:28] <musikgoat> relegated: -a i think is the important one
[17:28] <bullgard4> poisonbit: Such a principle is a good principle.
[17:29] <poisonbit> relegated, -a will preserve access rights of original files
[17:29] <poisonbit> -a --delete
[17:29] <musikgoat> relegated: -a archive mode; equals -rlptgoD (no -H,-A,-X)
[17:29] <Kuifje111> mo0nykit: that could be the issue, because the errors occurred when I installed new RAM. I did run memtest though and it gave me no errors on this RAM.
[17:30] <relegated> So then "sudo rsync -r -t -a -v --progress --delete --ignore-existing /home/user /media/Backup"
[17:31] <musikgoat> relegated: drop r and t, its in the -a flag
[17:31] <musikgoat> relegated: but yea
[17:31] <HeckleJeckle> is there a standard development environment on ubuntu? if so, what should i be looking for in add/remove
[17:32] <jrib> HeckleJeckle: no
[17:32] <jrib> HeckleJeckle: no "standard" one
[17:32] <erUSUL> HeckleJeckle: given that ubuntu defaults to gnome that eould be anjuta
[17:32] <relegated> musikgoat, When I formatted this hard drive to ext3 it created a lost+found dir that takes up 2.25GB, do I need that dir or can I safely delete it
[17:32] <SpacePigeon> HeckleJeckle, what do you want? Like language, interface, etc.. ?
[17:32] <mo0nykit> Kuifje111, I see. I'm sorry I couldn't help any further. That's the best I know so far.
[17:32] <HeckleJeckle> jrib: recommended?
[17:32] <erUSUL> !info anjuta | HeckleJeckle
[17:32] <SpacePigeon> HeckleJeckle, oh, well I would highly recommend geany
[17:32] <Kuifje111> mo0nykit: thanks for the information.
[17:32] <jrib> HeckleJeckle: use what works for you, I just use a text editor like vim
[17:32] <mo0nykit> Kuifje111, no problem
[17:33] <SpacePigeon> HeckleJeckle, oh, well I would highly recommend anjuta nor any other gnome IDE I have tried supports a decent autocompletion
[17:33] <keldin> i like eclipse
[17:33] <SpacePigeon> HeckleJeckle, I mean, not using anjuta
[17:33] <jbeitler|m> Does anyone know if they are dropping Empathy for Pidgin in this build?
[17:33] <relegated> Or anyone really, when I formatted this hard drive to ext3 it created a lost+found dir that takes up 2.25GB, do I need that dir or can I safely delete it
[17:33] <jrib> jbeitler|m: "this build"?
[17:33] <jbeitler|m> 9.10
[17:33] <jrib> !karmic | jbeitler|m
[17:33] <erUSUL> relegated: o.0 that folder is normally empty
[17:34] <erUSUL> relegated: what is inside ?
[17:34] <SpacePigeon> will break?
[17:34] <jbeitler|m> ubottu: thank you
[17:34] <jrib> what erUSUL said
[17:34] <musikgoat> relegated: the lost+found dir shouldn't take up that much space,  its used for file system checks
[17:34] <SpacePigeon> ubottu, thanks
[17:34] <HeckleJeckle> ok, so if i were paid by canonical i wouldn't be given like a cd with software and get started guide
[17:34] <relegated> Permission denied if I try to go in it
[17:35] <SpacePigeon> Maybe, I don't know.
[17:35] <jrib> !develop | HeckleJeckle
[17:35] <erUSUL> relegated: use sudo
[17:35] <[1]dmkae> hi all
[17:35] <HeckleJeckle> jrib: thanks
[17:36] <relegated> erUSUL, sudo how, sudo cd doesnt work and I cant sudo from nautilus that I know of
[17:36] <erUSUL> relegated: sudo ls -l /lost+found/
[17:36] <erUSUL> relegated: sudo ls -al /lost+found/
[17:36] <SpacePigeon> HeckleJeckle, install ubuntu-dev-tools
[17:36] <WebcamWonder> Is CLI to propagate the permissions of a folder to the child?
[17:37] <relegated> drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2009-09-26 08:50 .
[17:37] <relegated> drwxr-xr-x 3 root root  4096 2009-09-26 09:31 ..
[17:37] <jrib> WebcamWonder: cli is to do a lot of things...
[17:37] <erUSUL> relegated: so the folder is empty....
[17:37] <HeckleJeckle> SpacePigeon: Just saw that, thanks
[17:37] <WebcamWonder> jrib: Arghh... I mean is tehre a way***
[17:37] <WebcamWonder> there*
[17:37] <jrib> !permissions > WebcamWonder
[17:37] <HeckleJeckle> But im probably one of the few people that does not like python!
[17:37] <relegated> erUSUL, Hmm, ok gparted says 2.25GB is used on the disk
[17:37] <relegated> no biggie
[17:38] <jrib> WebcamWonder: do you mean you want newly created files to inherit certain permissions?
[17:38] <erUSUL> relegated: could be the bit reseved for root in extx paritions ( 5% by default)
[17:38] <WebcamWonder> jrib: I want existing files in the directory to have the same permissions as the parent
[17:38] <jrib> HeckleJeckle: python is pretty popular... especially in ubuntu development...
[17:38] <jrib> WebcamWonder: ok, so just use the commands on that wiki page then to set them
[17:39] <erUSUL> WebcamWonder: the default permissions are guided by the umask of the user/process creating the files
[17:39] <WebcamWonder> jrib: Yeah, I'll just make a script to do that all the time :)
[17:39] <HeckleJeckle> Jrib: for desktop apps or sys admin scripting?
[17:39] <jrib> WebcamWonder: no, that's not what you asked
[17:39] <erUSUL> WebcamWonder: not by the parent dir
[17:39] <WebcamWonder> jrib: Arghh... manually triggered script
[17:39] <relegated> So I created /media/Backup and mount /dev/sdb1 to it. Anyone have any idea how I can automate this rsync if the drive is removable. For example after I log in, if the drive is connected, it will mount it and run the rsync job
[17:39] <jrib> WebcamWonder: what are you trying to accomplish?
[17:39] <WebcamWonder> I am loosing my mind here
[17:39] <erUSUL> relegated: with a udev rule ?
[17:40] <jrib> HeckleJeckle: both, just look at the sources for a lot of the stuff that came from ubuntu
[17:40] <xerox1> just installed cairo-dock; aren't there any themes contained?
[17:41] <telchar> ui
[17:41] <gOLDfeesh> I get the following trying to compile realvnc .. TcpSocket.cxx:421: error: ‘atoi’ was not declared in this scope
[17:42] <shawn_> Umm... My speakers were working fine like an hour ago but now whenever I start my computer and listen to anything they crackle... What should I do? X_X
[17:42] <relegated> erUSUL, looks like that will involve some research, ill post somewhere later but thank you for the lead
[17:42] <llutz> relegated: use a udev-rule for automatic backup, there's an expample somewhere in ubuntu-forum

[17:54]  * thiebaude compiz is awesome
[17:54] <BBUB-Ebay> i didnt the hole drive just the first 63 sectors, the files should still be there?
[17:55] <BBUB-Ebay> maxblast is the program to format and partin the hard drive for maxtor HDs

[17:58] <Bradj47> ps -ef didn't list anything using that file
[17:59] <erUSUL> BBUB-Ebay: try a partition recovery app like testdisk or gpart
[17:59] <Bradj47> but when i try to install something using sudo apt-get it says it's being used by another application
[17:59] <jrib> Bradj47: lsof or fuser
[17:59] <jrib> Bradj47: ps -ef | grep apt   not return anything?

[18:00] <thiebaude> aresnick, its not a good idea to
[18:00] <jrib> Bradj47: you shouldn't immediately do what ubottu suggested
[18:00] <thiebaude> !9.10
[18:00] <Bradj47> jrib, i tried ps -ef |grep /var/lib/dpkg/ but i never even thought of grep apt
[18:00] <thiebaude> never mix and match
[18:00] <aresnick> thiebaude: I see; OK--thanks!
[18:01] <jrib> Bradj47: ps -ef won't tell you what files a program is using
[18:01] <thiebaude> aresnick, no problem
[18:01] <grumpy> how set channel?
[18:01] <BBUB-Ebay> i tried uesing the 904 live cd and no luck, i eavon tryed add remoive programs, and the simpak manager
[18:02] <BBUB-Ebay> on the live cd

[18:03] <Bradj47> there was a process owned by root called /usr/lib/apt/methods/http which i killed but it still won't let me install using apt-get
[18:04] <jrib> Bradj47: you should use ubottu's command without -k then do what it says if that doesn't turn anything up
[18:04] <BBUB-Ebay> i did down and burnt ubuntu rescue remix 904 to cd , how ever i dont know how to use the shell comande
[18:04] <Sanchez1> Jaunty (9.04) detects my cell phone as a mobile broadband device when I plug it via USB.  I want to access the phone as a USB storage device so I can manipulate the photographs and other files on the device.  I've googled for a solution and found nothing.  Can anyone point me in the right direction?  The phone is a Sony-Ericcson w350a.
[18:04] <Bradj47> jrib: can you re-print ubottu's command? i'm using irssi and i can't scroll up
[18:04] <oak> if anyone can help me with webcam issues. Issue involves pwc drivers and installing them
[18:04] <JonathanEllis> Sanchez1: Can you take out the memory card and put it in a card reader?
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> Sanchez1:  for my phones theres a menu item in the phones to use 'usb storage' or 'usb data'
[18:05] <ankur> I am trying to configure WG111v3 netgear usb wireless adapter on jaunty...I can see the network (WPA encryption) but cannot connect to it...
[18:05] <jrib> Bradj47: /lastlog ubottu    (or use PageUp or Shift-PageUp)
[18:06] <Bradj47> jrib: ty, i didn't know i could do that lol
[18:06] <Sanchez1> I'm not using a memory card, although I can install one.  Right now, I just want to use the phone's built in memory.  @Dr_Willis: My phone has that too, but using that menu has no effect.
[18:06] <siinz> hello again all...
[18:06] <Two4> WG111s are extremely temperamental, they are usually only good for lighting cigars and dropping connections
[18:06] <jrib> Bradj47: lastlog is incredibly useful, yes
[18:06] <ikonia> !give ikonia a test
[18:06] <ankur> it was working a while ago...but after some packages upgrade...just stopped working
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> Sanchez1:  perhaps iot has tobe enabled befor the phone is plugged in.
[18:06] <Sanchez1> Jaunty detects the phone as a broadband device before I do anything with the menu.
[18:07] <oak> help me with webcam issues. Issue involves pwc drivers and installing them.
[18:07] <Bradj47> jrib: i used ubottu's command without the -k and it gave me a usage on that command
[18:07] <jrib> Bradj47: can you paste what you ran?
[18:08] <Bradj47> pastebin right?
[18:08] <jrib> Bradj47: it's one line, just paste here :)
[18:08] <Bradj47> brad@rockstar:~/Desktop/php-5.3.0$ sudo fuser -vi
[18:08] <Bradj47> brad@rockstar:~/Desktop/php-5.3.0$ sudo fuser -vi
[18:08] <Sanchez1> I've also tried selected "USB storage device" before plugging in the phone.  Sometimes my machine will see a USB device but not let me access it; sometimes it sees nothing.
[18:08] <jrib> Bradj47: you missed the part after the i
[18:09] <Bradj47> oh lol
[18:09] <BBUB-Ebay> thanks for the try.... ill try agian a bit later.

[18:11] <JonathanEllis> Anyone know of a bpm counter for linux? I had a great little windows app called beat.exe from www.micteam.se but unfortunately it doesnt work properly under wine. It works as follows. You choose how many bars of music to use. Then you double click and it starts timing. At the end of the phrase you double click again and it displays how many bars per minute and how many beats per minute. Its a great little app: because it uses several bars it automa

[18:12] <JonathanEllis> !ask | Nani
[18:12] <siinz> so anyone know how to input a default gateway and get it to apply?
[18:12] <jrib> al80: the bot told you how to find out what people like, did you see his last line?
[18:13] <tsukasa> how can i join a wifi router with wpa via terminal? i googled it a bit and can't seem to get it to work
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> tsukasa:  last i did that i cheated and followed the arch-linux wiki page on the topic :)
[18:14] <al80> all these rules are simply ridicolous
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> tsukasa:  but that was about 8mo ago
[18:14] <Dr_Willis> al80:  check thepackage manager.. see what ones suite your needs try them out.
[18:14] <Nani> I am able to hear the login sound when the ubuntu 9.04 is booting up,after booting of the windows is complete I am unable to hear any sound ,My volume is set to its maximum, I am unable to hear any sounds of any format (ogg,mp3 etc) both the volume control on the panel and volume control in the media player are set to its maximum.
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> Ive only used PAN becaise its good for a binary grabber
[18:15] <JonathanEllis> al80: The rules are there to streamline the channel and make it easier for people to answer questions
[18:15] <jrib> al80: did you ask BestBot yet?
[18:15] <al80> I don't know what is this bestbot

[18:17] <tanath> can anyone help me with a video card issue? i have a video card where everything is tinted yellow - even at the bios screen, and vlc won't play videos. yet mplayer can play videos fine - and with proper colour
[18:17] <Dr_Willis> pan sucks for actually reading the news.. :)
[18:18] <wanderer316> Any info on how to get sound to work on a dell inspiron?
[18:18] <siinz> tanath: if everything is tinted yellow are you sure its not a monitor problem?
[18:18] <al80> anyway, i was interested on a feature. Do you know a newsreader that can order THREADS like google groups does? Ordering by last answer...
[18:18] <Nani> Please help me, I am unable to hear the sound in my ubuntu 9.04 after it has loaded completely , I can hear the ubuntu login sound. The volume control in the panel and volume control in the media player are set to its maximum.
[18:18] <naxa> hi! can someone help me to set up miniupnpd? (general linux question, i use openwrt on my router)
[18:18] <tanath> siinz, yep. other card works fine (using it now)
[18:18] <Dishtroyer> Question: Ubuntu wont start. It keeps asking me for a root password and I don't know it.
[18:18] <tanath> siinz, and i tried playing with the monitor settings on that card and couldn't fix it
[18:19] <tanath> siinz, dropping green all the way down came close, but stil didn't look right
[18:19] <JonathanEllis> !sound | Nani
[18:19] <siinz> well i dont know enough to be much help besides asking that...i've seen that alot lately where a monitor has a tint to it but its all been cable or monitor issues
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> Dishtroyer:  is this your system? or where did it come from? root password is not set by default.. try the first user (admin users) password perhaps
[18:20] <naxa> Dr_Willis: i think somehow ubuntu starts in recovery mode for him
[18:20] <tanath> siinz, this appears to be the card. but it's weird that mplayer can play vids with proper colour
[18:20] <naxa> Dishtroyer: maybe ubuntu starts in recovery mode? (this is the case when it asks for password for me)
[18:21] <darksmac> Question: hey guys any one have luck setting DWA-552 ( ath9k) into ap mode trying to set up linux server as router
[18:21] <JonathanEllis> Nani: If you double click on the volume control icon in the panel at the top of the screen it opens a mixer. Is it possible that the single slider in the panel is mapped to the wrong slider in the mixer? That was an issue for me. If you right click on the volume control in the panel you can choose which slider it controls
[18:21] <siinz> tanath: dual boot?
[18:21] <Besogon> How can I make a new variable? Can't it be done with "echo $"????
[18:21] <Dishtroyer> Dr_Willis: Yes this is my system. I have tried several passwords but none have worked
[18:22] <tanath> siinz, nope
[18:22] <joaopinto> Besogon, if you mean a shell variable, abc=1
[18:22] <llutz> Besogon: export VAR="content"
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> Besogon:  you may wan tto read teh advanced bash scripting guide.. or other tutorials to learn all about variables.
[18:22] <wanderer316> Thanks - actulaay I couldnt use alsa I had to pick another and it worked.
[18:23] <shawn_> Is Ubuntu the most used Linux distribution?

[18:24] <Dr_Willis> shawn_:  depends on the job a hand  i imagine theres others that are more common for servers... or  research.
[18:24] <shawn_> Dr_Willis I mean for home use
[18:24] <llutz> who cares?
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> shawn_:  hard to get real #s on that.   since no one is required to register.
[18:25] <razor__> how to check my hardware configuration trought the terminal
[18:26] <Mert> I have a problem with LAMP can anyone help me?
[18:26] <Besogon> llutz, Im interested in $FC__DEBUG variable (for test fonts mathing in fontconf). So I should do (export $FC__DEBUG="1") don't I?
[18:26] <Dishtroyer> nana: Its trying to do an automatic FSCK but can't, so it sends me to open a shell, and asks for a password
[18:26] <llutz> Besogon: export FC_DEBUG=1   without $

[18:31] <Kvik_sverige> Hi everyone
[18:31] <runa_> which one is better in terms of quality skype or ekiga. do you advise any other voip?
[18:31] <siinz> hecklejeckle: default gateway manual input is my guess
[18:31] <Kvik_sverige> How are we to day
[18:31] <joaopinto> runa_, skype works fine for me, can't comment about ekiga
[18:32] <siinz> hecklejeckle: i have my wireless adapter working fine...however i cant connect to the network for my internet on my own...im currently piggy backing off a friend
[18:32] <HeckleJeckle> slinz: edit connections not working?
[18:32] <HazeFaze> runa_: if you want to use a webcam mostly skype is more compfortable in my experience
[18:32] <Kvik_sverige> runa_, I'm useing skypy for skype
[18:32] <HeckleJeckle> slinz: what do you mean piggy backing?
[18:32] <siinz> hecklejeckle: i dont believe it is...im new to linux...but in network tools my default gateway with netstat is still <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:32] <siinz> hecklejeckle: even though i input it into network manager correctly
[18:33] <tsukasa> also running iwlist wlan0 scan shows no scan results. and since i cant set encryption i'm guessing its the driver for it that doesnt know what to do?
[18:33] <siinz> hecklejeckle: im connected to him via wire...hes connected to the net
[18:33] <HeckleJeckle> slinz: your connected to his wireless router?
[18:34] <siinz> hecklejeckle: no his laptop...im currently in iraq and we dont have the option of a consistantly viable wired connection...
[18:34] <HeckleJeckle> slinz: are you connecting directly with eth from your laptop to his laptop?
[18:34] <siinz> hecklejeckle: yes
[18:34] <muhittin> hi
[18:34] <HeckleJeckle> slinz; straight eth or cross over ?
[18:34] <totti> hi
[18:34] <Nq6> Alguem na sala fala português?
[18:34] <muhittin> how are you
[18:35] <erUSUL> !br | Nq6
[18:35] <HeckleJeckle> slinz: a regular eth wire for peer to peer will most likely not work
[18:35] <siinz> hecklejeckle: straight eth...turned network sharing on for his connection and it lets me on no problems
[18:35] <runa_> i cant get skype to do the videoconferece so i was thinking to move to another ...
[18:35] <blixt> greets! why do i get this error when i try to install the unstripped decoders? 'corrupted filesystem tarfile - corrupted package archive'
[18:35] <HeckleJeckle> slinz: so you can 'see' his computer?
[18:36] <HeckleJeckle> slinz: and ping it?
[18:36] <siinz> hecklejeckle: yes
[18:36] <HazeFaze> runa_: which version of ubuntu are you running?
[18:36] <blixt> should i edit the permitted repositories? how do i know what repositories to add?
[18:36] <HeckleJeckle> slinz: is he running windows?
[18:37] <siinz> hecklejeckle: yes
[18:37] <runa_> 9.04
[18:37] <HeckleJeckle> what are you entering as the gateway, his ip address of the ip of his gateway?
[18:37] <HazeFaze> blixt: I would recommend to empty the cache directory of apt
[18:38] <runa_> skype 2.0
[18:38] <runa_> i think
[18:38] <blixt> aha! that whould be sudo apt ??
[18:38] <HazeFaze> runa_: and what kind of webcam?
[18:38] <erUSUL> blixt: sudo apt-get clean
[18:38] <blixt> great thnx  will do
[18:38] <josh0x0> Hey guys, is there any logical explanation of why my resolution got fubar'd to 1024x768 from 1680x1050 after rebooting from windows via dualboot?
[18:38] <josh0x0> (Ubuntu 9.04 btw)
[18:39] <ikonia> josh0x0: windows won't effect your ubuntu install
[18:39] <HazeFaze> josh0x0: what video card ?
[18:39] <Keiffer> what navigation software can i use on linux? like igo or so..
[18:39] <josh0x0> ikonia: i didn't think it would but it's odd that it was prefectly fine the last time I used it.
[18:39] <josh0x0> HazeFaze: Nvidia 7600
[18:40] <runa_> HazeFaze i mean videchat with more than one person
[18:40] <ikonia> josh0x0: probably an update (such as a kernel update) that hadn't taken effect until your next reboot (after booting into windows)
[18:40] <runa_> the vidochat works
[18:40] <deviL_night> if i run command "Sudo apt-get clean", is the file which i downloaded will be delete ??
[18:41] <earmbrust> I'm having some trouble. I don't know how to load Ubuntu onto my computer.
[18:41] <llutz> deviL_night: 1st you'll get an error
[18:41] <earmbrust> Can someone help me?
[18:41] <josh0x0> ikonia: perhaps, but how can I get it back to normal?  this kinda thing has happened before and I think the last time I had to reinstall ubuntu entirely because reinstalling the nvidia drivers never seemed to help
[18:41] <Two4> earmbrust, how are you trying to do that?
[18:41] <HazeFaze> runa_: I am not sure but I belive skype 2.0 only supports multiple video chats on windows- but not sure
[18:41] <Keiffer> what navigation software can i use on linux? like igo or so..
[18:41] <llutz> Keiffer: try navit
[18:42] <earmbrust> I put the DVD in the slot and it makes a click but it just says the same thing every time I turn it on
[18:42] <Two4> earmbrust, are you doing this from windows?
[18:42] <HazeFaze> earmbrust: do you try to boot from this dvd or only put it in while running windows?
[18:43] <earmbrust> I put it in the slot and then reboot the computer but Ubuntu never starts.
[18:43] <tanath_> siinz, i would think it couldn't be a driver issue 'cause it's same at bios
[18:43] <Two4> you need to set your bios to boot from you disc drive
[18:43] <HazeFaze> earmbrust: you need to check in the bios the Boot Option to boot from ddv / cdrom
[18:43] <karan> deos anyone know any mp3 players under 200 bucks that have wifi web browser, and youtube other than the itouch?
[18:44] <earmbrust> It boots from other disks, though
[18:44] <karan> other than the zune hd too..
[18:44] <HazeFaze> earmbrust: what kind of dvd image have you burned?
[18:44] <karan> cause i live in canada
[18:45] <earmbrust> I don't know, my friend made the disc for me.
[18:45] <Two4> earmbrust, did you check the MD5sum of the downloaded image file?
[18:45] <HazeFaze> then this is maybe the problem, download a now .iso file and burn it
[18:45] <karan> deos anyone know the ubuntu of topic channel??
[18:45] <llutz> !ot
[18:45] <earmbrust> He said that he check it, and it should boot just fine.  He said it will run on pretty much anything.
[18:46] <earmbrust> Does it matter who makes my computer?
[18:46] <deviL_night> i've a trouble... i can't update "glibc-source" packet.. if i do it, i update manager will be show this error "W: Failed to fetch http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3142/dl2.foss-id.web.id/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/glibc/glibc-source_2.9-4ubuntu6.1_all.deb
[18:46] <deviL_night>   Hash Sum mismatch"
[18:46] <HazeFaze> just give it a try - or doe you not own a burner?
[18:46] <deviL_night> why??
[18:46] <earmbrust> I don't have a burner, that's why he made the disc.
[18:47] <HazeFaze> earmbrust: then check wubi -> http://wubi-installer.org/

[18:55] <n8bounds> @cov, try doing an apt-get update
[18:55] <Casper1> n8sounds: trying to use a custom icon for an application launcher
[18:55] <ScabbyMadman> can anyone tell me how to toggle back to the regular desktop from The  Netbook Remix?
[18:55] <n8bounds> @Casper1, in gnome?
[18:55] <ward> n8bounds: I don't think I'm on GDM
[18:55] <Casper1> frt975: i did that
[18:56] <Casper1> n8bounds: yes
[18:56] <siinz> erm...hecklejeckle still in here?
[18:56] <siinz> had to reboot
[18:56] <ward> if I try dpg-reconfigure gdm he tells me that gdm isnt installed
[18:56] <frt975> @Casper open the launcher in gedit
[18:57] <n8bounds> Casper1: you just click on the icon box and select a supported graphic file: http://drbrainiac.wordpress.com/2007/11/04/how-to-create-custom-desktop-launchers-in-ubuntu-gnome/
[18:57] <scream> I'm told that karmic beta or the release candidate is available, where can I get it?
[18:57] <scream> nevermind
[18:57] <n8bounds> @ward, reinstall gdm then with sudo aptitude install gdm or sudo aptitude reinstall gdm
[18:57] <scream> I misread that date :)
[18:57] <siinz> or can someone else try to help me with my network issue?
[18:57] <siinz> if heckle isnt available or here anymore
[18:57] <shawn_> Okay so I have Ubuntu running in a dual display in twinview but when I open a fullscreen game it makes it fullscreen covering both screens and only takes up a little bit of both screens in the middle... How can I make it only display full screen on one of my screens
[18:58] <n8bounds> @siinz, whats going on?
[18:58] <HazeFaze> ScabbyMadman: check "desktop-switcher" on shell
[18:58] <k1dugar> hello, in package grub what  had replace update-grub command\
[18:58] <grumpy> join #ubuntu-hu
[18:59] <siinz> n8bounds: okay i just installed intrepid on my toshiba L305D laptop...ndiswrapper'd the wireless...im semi certain network manager isnt working to use the default gateway im inputting...
[18:59] <sman> I wish to copy over the ubuntu install iso to my pendrive, boot off the pendrive and install ubuntu from it on my eeepc (does not have a CD drive)
[18:59] <Casper1> n8bounds: thats for older versions of linux
[18:59] <Casper1> im using 9.04
[18:59] <sman> how do I do it so that it works?
[19:00] <n8bounds> @siinz, here's how you check: sudo route -n ;
[19:00] <n8bounds> @sman, using usb-creator would be easier
[19:00] <siinz> n8bounds: im currently online using a friends laptop(which is vista) his net connection(with network sharing on) and an ethernet cable
[19:00] <siinz> n8bounds: okay i have no default gateway
[19:01] <ScabbyMadman> HazeFaze, thanks dont have it and for some reason It aint available through apt either
[19:01] <n8bounds> Casper1: what version are you using? on my 9.04, when i create a custom launcher, i can click on the ugly springboard thing and choose a file to assign as its icon
[19:01] <siinz> n8bounds: how can i enter it manually besides network manager? i know what it needs to be but not how to get it to work
[19:01] <n8bounds> siinz: the manual is man route
[19:01] <llutz> siinz: sudo route add default gw <gw-ip>
[19:01] <HazeFaze> ScabbyMadman: in the Preferences Menu ist should be available by default
[19:01] <ScabbyMadman> hmm ok
[19:02] <n8bounds> siinz: but you should be able to sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> or whatever
[19:02] <HazeFaze> I rememeber it was in the same menu as Screen Resoultion etc - @ ScabbyMadman
[19:02] <michael__> olá
[19:02] <siinz> llutz: no such process
[19:02] <Casper1> n8bounds:  9.04. i did click the spring, but my custom icon doesnt come up in the menu
[19:02] <michael__> alguém do brasil ai  ?
[19:02] <michael__> kkk
[19:02] <erUSUL> !br
[19:02] <n8bounds> Casper1: you have to change the address to the location of the icon
[19:02] <n8bounds> Casper1: and it cant be an .ico file
[19:02] <fotoserv1> !java
[19:03] <fotoserv1> >.<
[19:03] <ScabbyMadman> hmm HazeFaze dont have it but Im using a really early ver of Remix glued onto hh804
[19:03] <HazeFaze> @ ScabbyMadman I belive it was named "Switch Desktop Mode"
[19:03] <ScabbyMadman> so I guess I gotta  get the source
[19:03] <Casper1> n8bounds: doesnt show up still. even if i hit ctrl-h
[19:03] <ScabbyMadman> dont have that either HazeFaze
[19:03] <siinz> n8bounds: it gave me "no such process"
[19:03] <linked_> hi, i'm running jaunty on an imac, and xserver is doing extremely funky stuff. tried a reinstall ~a week ago, but still, certain shades of orange show up pink, 80% of the time mouse can't interact with the window (i can't click on anything in xchat right now). can anyone point me in the right direction?
[19:03] <fotoserv1> what about !java on !dapper*
[19:04] <fotoserv1> ?**
[19:04] <llutz> siinz: go read how to setup your wireless without networkmanager (ifupdown, interfaces)
[19:04] <n8bounds> Casper1: the path must be wrong or the file must be invalid, or you dont have proper perms to it, that's the only explanations i can come up with
[19:04] <HazeFaze> ScabbyMadman: have you ever updated your remix instance?
[19:04] <erUSUL> fotoserv1: do the same. install sun-java5-jre or jdk
[19:04] <n8bounds> siinz: link me to a pastebin of the output of ifconfig -a
[19:05] <Casper1> n8bounds: how do i change the permisions? i am admin on the computer tho so i dont think thats it
[19:05] <fotoserv1> whoever said it to me, TY
[19:05] <fotoserv1> (irssi failed)
[19:05] <ScabbyMadman> umm well not if it doesent do it through the  regular mechanism such as the package management system
[19:05] <siinz> n8bounds: pastebin just being a paste right(new to linux)
[19:05] <Casper1> n8bounds: and i tried every file extension that has to do with images
[19:05] <WhiteCrow1> anybody can help me ??????
[19:05] <ScabbyMadman> so HazeFaze not that Im aware
[19:05] <Guest215> hai...
[19:05] <areay> how can i setup my mixer so i can control individual applications? right now i can only play sound through one app at a time and it's annoying me
[19:05] <HazeFaze> ScabbyMadman: which version are you running ? cat /etc/lsb-release
[19:05] <n8bounds> siinz: http://pastebin.com/m26433575
[19:06] <zebastian> i have a laptop, i know this is not ubuntu related, but let's say it was, are subnetbooks better on average than laptops? is it possible to install ubuntu on a eeepc?
[19:06] <WhiteCrow1> :-D
[19:06] <n8bounds> Casper1: you just tell gnome where the dir of the file IS and choose if from the resulting list, if it doesnt like your file's format, or cant read/open it, then it wont show it to you
[19:06] <HazeFaze> zebastian: yes there is a special eeepc distribution
[19:06] <ScabbyMadman> HazeFaze, 8.04
[19:06] <Casper1> n8bounds: sigh i give up
[19:07] <Casper1> n8bounds: thx anyway
[19:07] <n8bounds> Casper1: sure, sorry
[19:07] <siinz> n8bounds: http://pastebin.com/m5fd31b60
[19:07] <Otacon22> Is the ubuntu keyserver already down?
[19:08] <Guest215> wanna fuck me
[19:08] <linked_> can anyone help me figure out why xserver won't let me click on anything in any window, but still switches workspaces fine, lets me type (but not key combo) in xchat, i can maximize/restore but not stretch or move this window
[19:08] <HazeFaze> in 8.04 Desktop Switch should be available - all repositories are enabled?
[19:09] <siinz> n8bounds: you get the pastebin thing?
[19:09] <linked_> sometimes, if i close all open windows, the next window i open will respond to clicks until i open a second window(or tab in firefox), then everything stops working
[19:09] <n8bounds> siinz: nice. so you have an ethernet conneciton on the 192.168.0/24 network and a wifi connection on the <IP_ADDRESS>/28 network..??? that's pretty exotic
[19:10] <n8bounds> linked_: is your window manager broken? can you see the maximize, minimize and close buttons?
[19:10] <siinz> n8bounds: right now...as i said im connected to the net through a friends laptop
[19:10] <n8bounds> linked_: try running metacity --replace
[19:10] <linked_> n8bounds, i see the buttons and all proper WM decorations
[19:10] <linked_> n8bounds, it does this persistently after reboots
[19:10] <linked_> since xchat is open, i can't even click anything in gnome-panel
[19:11] <areay> can anyone tell me why i can only hear sound from one application at a time
[19:11] <n8bounds> siinz: sorry, right. i think your trouble is trying to be on two nets at once, take the eth0 iface down and trouble shoot one at time
[19:11] <linked_> but i can still ctrl+alt+left to go to next desktop, etc (where i can't click on desktop icons)
[19:11] <n8bounds> linked_: are you using compiz, or no?
[19:11] <DonBrazini> linked,does it lag or take time when u switch?
[19:12] <linked_> n8bounds, yup
[19:12] <linked_> DonBrazini, nope
[19:12] <n8bounds> linked_: try turning it off
[19:12] <bishop> hey
[19:12] <linked_> n8bounds, can i do that from tty0?
[19:12] <siinz> n8bounds: even when im not on the net from a link to his comp i cant get onto my wifi...theres no default gateway on wireless
[19:12] <n8bounds> linked_: killall compiz.real or something
[19:12] <linked_> thx
[19:12] <n8bounds> linked_: search through ps for compiz
[19:13] <linked_> n8bounds, killall compiz.real worked
[19:13] <linked_> wm is gone
[19:13] <linked_> still can't click gnomepanel or desktop icons
[19:13] <linked_> or anything in xchat
[19:13] <fotoserv1> E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jre

[19:13] <kp> Hi, boot selection shows 3 option to select the os and all options are as follows "Ubuntu 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-15-generic (recovery mode), Ubuntu 9.04 kernel 2.6.28-14-generic is it a bug?
[19:13] <n8bounds> siinz: the dhcp server (in this case, your friends laptop) tells your dhcp client what its default gw should be
[19:13] <bishop> leaving
[19:14] <soreau> linked_: You should run metacity --replace to kill compiz so you have gnomes default WM running
[19:14] <n8bounds> linked_: can you hit ALT+F2 and get a command prompt? if so can you do the metacity --replace thing?
[19:14] <siinz> n8bounds: i manually entered that before for the wireless and still nothing
[19:14] <siinz> n8bounds: no change in my default gateway
[19:14] <soreau> linked_: You can start it by running DISPLAY=:0 metacity from tty
[19:14] <linked_> can't keycombo to open runbox or a terminal... metacity --replace gives a "can't open xserver error" when i try from another term
[19:15] <linked_> soreau, awesome, beat me to it :)
[19:15] <n8bounds> siinz: im not sure what to tell you, i dont even know what the default gw should be for that windows-shared-network thing you have there
[19:15] <WhiteCrow1> can anyone tell me how to install and use encfs in ubuntu 9.4 ???
[19:15] <DonBrazini> try reinstalling compiz
[19:15] <Lopss> hmm
[19:15] <soreau> linked_: I am known for answering questions before they are asked ;)
[19:15] <linked_> ok, i have a WM back, but still no click functions
[19:15] <linked_> nothing responds
[19:15] <n8bounds> sometimes compiz just sucks
[19:15] <soreau> DonBrazini: That will effectively do nothing
[19:15] <linked_> methinks xserver, not my WM
[19:16] <DonBrazini> soreau,it did for me
[19:16] <linked_> did i mention certain shades of orange show up bright pink?
[19:16] <linked_> half of the mozilla start page, for example
[19:16] <n8bounds> linked_: do you have another user on this box? you could always add one from the tty, but i wonder if this isnt just some screwed up profile
[19:16] <soreau> linked_: Have you tried restarting X yet?
[19:16] <linked_> the xchat icon
[19:16] <linked_> n8bounds, i'll try that, good idea
[19:16] <n8bounds> linked_: okay, nevermind, its something worse
[19:16] <linked_> soreau, persistent past a reboot
[19:17] <linked_> i tried installing the colors profile from the mac harddrive
[19:17] <linked_> that changed nothing
[19:17] <soreau> linked_: Then try with a different user to see if its anything in $HOME
[19:17] <WhiteCrow1> :'(  Please SEE me :'(
[19:17] <n8bounds> linked_, what is this graphics card anyway? ohhh ur on a MAC

[19:17] <linked_> i have intel packages installed, and the driver advisor says no restricted packages are needed
[19:18] <soreau> linked_: lspci|grep VGA
[19:18] <DonBrazini> intel sucks
[19:18] <WhiteCrow1> soreau: can u tell me how can i install and use encfs in ubuntu 9.4
[19:18] <soreau> ! info encfs

[19:22] <DonBrazini> Ubuntu on iphone?amazing.
[19:22] <n8bounds> i know, i wanna see the write-up
[19:23] <JonathanEllis1> I need an application to determine beats per minute. It should work like this. The user sets up how many beats or bars in the phrase he wants to measure. The user then clicks at the start of a phrase and again at the end of the phrase. The app measures the time between the start and end clicks and then does a simple calculation using the number of beats in the phrase to determine the bpm. I have the feeling this could perhaps be done as a macro in
[19:23] <soreau> ! pm | WhiteCrow1
[19:23] <Austin_Guy> guys am not talking of ubuntu on iphone..I mean an application like (itune) to hook iphone to ubuntu
[19:23] <linked_> i think he meant he wants apps on his new ubuntu 9.0 desktop that are iphone compatible, like an itunes equiv?

[19:34] <DonBrazini> he has the case of unmet dependencies
[19:34] <Nq6> pidgim is defult on ubuntu 9.10?
[19:34] <DonBrazini> and hes failing to install the package
[19:34] <ryguy> coz_ went there, very dead there =p
[19:34] <DonBrazini> Nq6,yes
[19:35] <ricerocketeer> how do i get opengl 2.0 on an intel graphics card?
[19:35] <coz_> ryguy,  oh !   mmm   y ou might have to wait awhile in #conky then
[19:35] <ricerocketeer> !intel
[19:35] <DonBrazini> marek,try installing any package.
[19:36] <LjL> DonBrazini: there is not one "case of unmet dependencies".
[19:36] <LjL> marekw2143, can we have your pastebin, pleaes?
[19:36] <marekw2143> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/278953/
[19:36] <DonBrazini> LjL,enlighten me how to install a package when u have the case of unmet dependencies.
[19:37] <LjL> DonBrazini: you fix the dependencies.
[19:37] <DonBrazini> How.?
[19:37] <Jordan_U> DonBrazini: What are you trying to install?
[19:37] <coz_> DonBrazini,  in terminal    sudo apt-get install -f
[19:37] <LjL> DonBrazini: that depends on why and how they're broken. if there were one SINGLE recipe, i wouldn't have asked for a pastebin, would i?
[19:37] <DonBrazini> coz,it didnt help.
[19:37] <coz_> mm
[19:38] <coz_> DonBrazini, are all of your repositories enabled?
[19:38] <DonBrazini> LjL,true,but i still say reinstalling is the best option.
[19:38] <coz_> DonBrazini,  which application is this?  do you have a link
[19:38] <Nq6> Pidgin and Empathy will be together in Ubuntu 9.10? I upgraded to Ubuntu and got both!
[19:38] <DonBrazini> coz,i had the problem,i had to reinstall.
[19:38] <LjL> marekw2143: do you have any strange repositories in your /etc/apt/sources.list ? you may want to pastebin that. also, try explicitly installing "libqt4-core" and the other mentioned packages separately and see what it tells you
[19:38] <Pici> Nq6 : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic/9.10 support/discussion.
[19:39] <LjL> DonBrazini: then we might as well say "reinstall" to anyone wo comes here with a problem
[19:39] <Nq6> o
[19:39] <Nq6> ok
[19:39] <LjL> DonBrazini: you won't mind if we don't do that, will you?
[19:39] <marekw2143> LjL: generally that computer isn't connected to internet
[19:39] <BluDog_Anchorite> how can i rescue the MBR after an XP install?  back in the day, we poped in the linux disc, and ran "rescue system" and then "repair MBR"
[19:39] <DonBrazini> LjL,go on,help him,if you find a solution then tell me.
[19:39] <marekw2143> Ljl: and there is fresh installation of ubuntu 8.04
[19:39] <coz_> DonBrazini,   but which application gave you this dependecy error?
[19:39] <LjL> marekw2143: have you tried a "sudo apt-get update" before the install
[19:39] <Jordan_U> !grub | BluDog_Anchorite
[19:40] <DonBrazini> coz,AWN ,it troubled me a lot.
[19:40] <coz_> DonBrazini,  mm   ok  did you install AWn  with synaptic?
[19:41] <digerati> is there a way to create a virtual interface (sort of like tun) with a ssh session? (i.e. interface ssh0 for example)
[19:41] <DonBrazini> coz,no,i did sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator.
[19:41] <coz_> DonBrazini,  ok let me try that here hold on
[19:42] <DonBrazini> then it showed unmet dependencies,and bang,had to reinstall after two days
[19:42] <Jordan_U> DonBrazini: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list and any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ ?
[19:42] <fxfitz> Is it possible to set up postfix to have virtual users? I don't want to have a local unix account for every e-mail address.
[19:43] <DonBrazini> Jordan,i had this problem,i reinstalled.
[19:43] <coz_> DonBrazini, ok AWN installed with no dependency errors at all
[19:43] <coz_> DonBrazini,  perhaps your repositories are not all enabled ??
[19:44] <DonBrazini> yes it did on me after i re-installled,i dunno what happened that time
[19:44] <DonBrazini> and i havnt seen a single case where unmet dependencies were soved.
[19:44] <marekw2143> LjL; yeap, it may be the trick. On VM I did apt-get update and then copied all files from /var/cache/apt/archives
[19:45] <silversurfer> hi there
[19:45] <marekw2143> LjL; i'll try to use packages from /var/cache/apt/archives that are there when apt-get isnalling without update
[19:45] <DonBrazini> marek,good luck :P
[19:45] <Rosey> What is the program for mounting and burning ISOs?
[19:46] <shawn_> Daemen tools works great
[19:46] <Rosey> Mhm
[19:46] <Rosey> I used alcohol previously
[19:46] <cowbud> Rosey: most burning programs should burn isos in linux, and sudo mount -o loop file.iso to_some_diretory will mount it
[19:46] <cowbud> um this isn't #windows is it?
[19:46] <fxfitz> If I wanted to have virtual mailboxes on my ubuntu server, should I be editing dovecot or postfix settings?
[19:46] <DonBrazini> cowbud,lol.
[19:47] <cowbud> or are burning an ubuntu cd? :)
[19:47] <JonathanEllis1> Can anyone suggest an easy to use software development kit along the lines of Visual Basic? I need to make a very simple app along the lines of a spreadsheet or database macro. I have experience of programming macros in Excel and Access and a little Pascal from years ago
[19:47] <Rosey> lol
[19:47] <Rosey> ya
[19:47] <Rosey> I asked for it to be delivered but it's going to take weeks
[19:47] <cowbud> imgburn is really straight forward for burning isos and freeware
[19:47] <Rosey> sweet
[19:48] <Two4> does brasero not support .iso?
[19:48] <coz_> Two4,  it should
[19:48] <JonathanEllis1> !install
[19:48] <coz_> Two4,  are you trying to burn an ISO  ?
[19:48] <demonspork> cowbud, the problem with that method is that you can't unmount it without sudoing
[19:48] <pipa> JonathanEllis1: what about openoffice, or php or python etc...
[19:48] <coz_> Two4,   I prefer gnomebaker for burning iso images
[19:49] <JonathanEllis1> !install | Rosey
[19:49] <marekw2143> LjL: unfortunatelly it didn't help
[19:49] <Two4> I was rferring to Rosey's problem
[19:49] <demonspork> Rosey, I use gmount-iso (you can find it in synaptic) to mount isos, it is a nice graphical tool for doing it
[19:50] <Rosey> I see
[19:50] <ryguy> How can I find my desktop size (below and above my panels) in pixels?
[19:51] <Two4> ryguy, have you tried measuring it off of a screenshot?
[19:51] <JonathanEllis1> Rosey: There is some good information about burning an ubuntu cd at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto and how to check that your iso downloaded correctly at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[19:52] <Rosey> thank :)
[19:52] <Rosey> s^
[19:52] <ryguy> Two4, I guess that would work. Can I copy my screen (screenshot by pressing print screen) without actually saving it to a file?
[19:52] <KittyBoots> I am wondering, how to I change from firefox version 3.0 to version 3.5?
[19:52] <JonathanEllis1> pipa: Thanks. I will look into python and php
[19:52] <Two4> yes, it should have a 'copy to clipboard' option, ryguy
[19:53] <DonBrazini> kittyboots,sudo apt-get update and suso apt-get install firefox
[19:53] <ryguy> Two4: oh okay, Thank you my man
[19:53] <marekw2143> LjL: I installed all packages by hand using dpkg -i
[19:53] <Two4> that's an assumption, ryguy
[19:54] <Jordan_U> !ff35 | KittyBoots
[19:54] <marekw2143> LjL: thanks anyway
[19:54] <n8tuser> ryguy -> i think there is the tool  xli
[19:54] <ryguy> Two4: I'll just save it if it doesnt
[19:54] <Two4> no, I mean the 'my man'
[19:54] <ryguy> Two4: oh haha
[19:55] <DonBrazini> Two4,LMAO.
[19:55] <ryguy> =p
[19:55] <KittyBoots> ubottu: I installed 3.5, now how do I start it?
[19:55] <cowbud> demonspork: so you use fuse or what?
[19:55] <KittyBoots> ubottu: How do I make it my default?
[19:55] <kp> Hi, is there any Internet security software for Ubuntu
[19:56] <Two4> KittyBoots, ubottu is a bot. he cannot respond outside of stock responses
[19:56] <n8tuser> kp iptables or sometimes knows as firewall
[19:56] <Slart> kp: internet security? like a firewall? anti-virus?
[19:56] <webbb82> i keep seeing these screen shots of desktops and it looks like they have a terminal on there desktop like wallpaper  anyone know about it
[19:56] <KittyBoots> Two4: okay
[19:57] <demonspork> cowbud, you just need to add some more permissions options to give you permission to unmount it as user
[19:57] <fccf> kp: if you mean like norton, no ... but ubuntu comes complete with iptables (firewall)
[19:57] <metalf8801> is there a gparted like program that deals with LVM?
[19:57] <kp> Slart, its anti virus
[19:57] <x_> Good afternoon, everyone
[19:57] <KittyBoots> How do I make Firefox 3.5 my default browser?
[19:57] <ryguy> KittyBoots: Open firefox and look in the preferences
[19:57] <Slart> kp: there are some third party anti-virus available.. but for a home user it isn't really needed
[19:57] <Two4> launch firefox and look in the settings for a default browser option
[19:58] <Two4> I know it's there somewhere. Anyone know where it is?
[19:58] <Megabyte> I would like to build ubuntu 1.1.30, as there's no binary build currently available for Ubuntu. How can I do this safely and build a package for testing?
[19:58] <DonBrazini> it should ask itself
[19:58] <Megabyte> Or, if possible, get a package?
[19:58] <DonBrazini> if its not the default browser
[19:58] <Slart> kp: make sure you keep your ubuntu system updated and use common sense.. that together with the fact that most malware is windows-oriented should keep you safe
[19:58] <demonspork> KittyBoots, Edit>Preferences>Advanced>System Defaults>check now
[19:58] <fccf> Megabyte: ubuntu 1.1.30?? not sure what you mean?
[19:58] <Two4> DonBrazini: it?
[19:59] <DonBrazini> firefox=it.
[19:59] <Two4> oh
[19:59] <Megabyte> fccf, Sorry, I meant Wine 1.1.30.
[19:59] <KittyBoots> I am not asking the right questions.  I have firefox 3.0 and 3.5 both installed according to synaptic.  How do I start Firefox 3.5 and make it default?
[19:59] <coolcat> Anyone know of any program to convert a gif animation in any kind of movie format?
[19:59] <demonspork> KittyBoots,
[19:59] <demonspork> KittyBoots, Edit>Preferences>Advanced>System Defaults>check now
[19:59] <demonspork> KittyBoots, open FF 3.5 and do that
[19:59] <DonBrazini> has anyone played cabal on ubuntu?
[20:00] <Megabyte> fccf, I need to build wine 1.1.30
[20:00] <KittyBoots> demonspork, I do not know how to open 3.5
[20:00] <demonspork> ooh
[20:00] <Slart> KittyBoots: it should be called Shiretoko on your system
[20:00] <Two4> coolcat, the image degradation is severe, I wouldn't do so. I don't know any programs though.
[20:00] <Slart> !shiretoko | KittyBoots
[20:00] <kp> Slart, thank you for your information. after i using usb on ubuntu i see multiple option of OS before boot process, because of this i thought it could be virus infected
[20:01] <KittyBoots> ubottu: ok i see it, thanks!
[20:01] <Slart> kp: that's just GRUB asking which kernel you want to boot with.. nothing to worry about
[20:01] <demonspork> Megabyte, #winehq
[20:01] <metalf8801> I need to resize a LVM partition does anyone know of a program I can use to do this?
[20:01] <coolcat> Two4, my main intention is to use my gif animations in presentations made in latex, I do not know any way of doing this. Do you have any advise?
[20:02] <kp> Slart, oh thats great, thank you Slart
[20:02] <Slart> kp: you're welcome
[20:02] <Two4> I wouldn't know about latex, sorry, coolcat
[20:03] <coolcat> Two4, Thank you anyway
[20:03] <jrib> coolcat: there is a latex channel on this network
[20:03] <azlon> how can i display all of my HDDs?
[20:03] <azlon> df?
[20:03] <Two4> is it called #latex?
[20:03] <Slart> coolcat: are you looking to do an animation in latex? for beamer or something? or you want a specific slide from the gif animation?
[20:03] <fccf> Megabyte: you will find what you are looking for here http://ppa.launchpad.net/huangjiahua/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wine/wine_1.1.30~ppa1_i386.deb
[20:04] <jrib> azlon: that will display all of your partitions, sure
[20:04] <Slart> azlon: I think df only shows the partitions you have mounted
[20:04] <azlon> jrib: i want more than that... i would like to see all of the sda, sdb, sdc
[20:04] <Megabyte> fccf, Thank you!
[20:04] <jrib> azlon: ls /dev/sd*  ?
[20:04] <Slart> azlon: fdisk will show them.. or gparted.. or parted
[20:04] <azlon> perfect, thanks
[20:05] <jrib> azlon: ls /dev/disk/by-* is probably helpful too, but see what Slart said
[20:05] <coolcat> jrib, Yes, i tried there already, but they do not seen to know how to do it. I would like to make a presentation where I could click and show a movie in the same window(in my case a gif animation)...
[20:05] <azlon> jrib, Slart: i reformatted yesterday and threw in a new primary HDD. now when i boot with my RAID-5 connected it wont boot... is this something common?
[20:05] <hanshenrik> when i shutdown by "sudo shutdown now", it shuts down, but a brief 3-4 seconds, i see a bounch of errors in console - normal?
[20:05] <jrib> coolcat: I've seen videos in pdf's created by latex if my memory does not fail me
[20:06] <n8tuser> hanshenrik -> try to sync before shutting down for safety
[20:06] <Slart> azlon: sounds like the drives got renumbered.. I actually thought ubuntu's use of uuids would prevent problems like this.. but I wouldn't say I'm surprised something like this happens
[20:06] <hanshenrik> n8tuser: sync?
[20:06] <MenZa> jrib: I saw atemplate optimised for that once, but I couldn't get it working.
[20:06] <n8tuser> hanshenrik -> yes sync, ie syncing your or flushing the buffers
[20:07] <azlon> Slart: how can i fix it?
[20:07] <marekw2143> exit
[20:07] <Jordan_U> hanshenrik: Are you sure that they are errors or are the just lines like "Stopping sshd" or "Sending all processes kill signal" ?
[20:07] <n8tuser> azlon -> you make rules in udev
[20:07] <hanshenrik> Jordan_U: quite sure they'r errors, like ERROR: ~ text
[20:07] <azlon> Slart: should i boot from cd with the HDDs connected, then list the HDDs to see which is which, then confirm grub says the right drive for boot?
[20:07] <marekw2143> sorry, just wanted to quit channel ;)
[20:07] <coolcat> jrib, I would be grateful if you could point me where to find information..
[20:07] <azlon> !udev
[20:08] <azlon> n8tuser: what is udev?
[20:08] <jrib> coolcat: http://www.uoregon.edu/~noeckel/PDFmovie.html looks like a promising lead.  You may have to convert the gif to some video format
[20:08] <Megabyte> fccf, "wrong architeture x86"
[20:08] <jrib> coolcat: I would broaden your search to just embedding video in latex, as you can always convert the gif
[20:08] <fccf> Megabyte: what arch?
[20:08] <Slart> azlon: tougher question =)  I would start looking at reconfiguring the raid drives.. say you previously had /dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 in a raid5 config.. your new drive became the new /dev/sda1 so you would have to change the raid to use /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdd1
[20:08] <n8tuser> azlon -> that pretty much replaced the MAKEDEV system before
[20:08] <Megabyte> fccf, Oh, there's an amd64 package right there. i'll try it.
[20:08] <Toast> I did an update of my Kubuntu 9.10 test machine today and it no longer brings up KDE. Is this a known issue?
[20:09] <fccf> Megabyte: perfect
[20:09] <n8tuser> azlon -> man udev
[20:09] <Slart> azlon: you might want to be careful about how you do this.. you don't want to reinitialize the raid volume ie erase everything and start again.. make sure you know what the commands you run actually do
[20:09] <fccf> !karmic | Toast
[20:10] <Toast> I'll hop over to the correct channel, thanks. (p.s. yes, I know it will break)
[20:10] <Megabyte> fccf, I'm helping to test against a gdiplus bug
[20:10] <azlon> Slart: holy crap man... this sounds a lot like what happened... i think i remember my drives being labeled differently
[20:10] <fccf> Megabyte: have fun
[20:11] <johncomposed1> so, I my laptop was running ubuntu jaunty with the hard drive exposed and a friend of mine picked it up, pinching the hard drive and the top, the hard drive made some noises, and now my laptop can't find my hard drive.
[20:11] <Jordan_U> hanshenrik: Can you pastebin your /var/log/syslog ?
[20:11] <darkham> indexing in avidemux will modify the file?
[20:11] <johncomposed1> i tried booting up a live cd, but that couldn't find the hard drive either
[20:11] <johncomposed1> am i screwed?
[20:12] <Slart> azlon: not really a big problem.. you just have to tell your system where the raid partitions are located now.. I'm not really sure how to do that though.. I've given up on raid5 myself =) http://www.baarf.com/
[20:12] <Rp3> johncomposed1: yes, why would someone do that.  HD=Delicate, espicially one that is designed to be mounted in a machine!
[20:13] <johncomposed1> it was on the bottom of the laptop, and the laptop was closed. i just forgot to put the hard drive cover back on
[20:13] <fccf> darkham: I think avidemux uses a /tmp directory, not actually modifying anything until you save back to the file, Just making an index of frames when it pulls in video, which it saves to a temporary dir
[20:14] <darkham> ok, thanx
[20:14] <azlon> n8tuser: ok, reading through the man for udev, but what am i looking for? am i going to create a rule of some kind?
[20:14] <makmum> hi, i'm newbie. howto know xorg version?
[20:15] <psam> hello
[20:15] <Slart> makmum: "head /var/log/Xorg.0.log"

[20:15] <psam> it used to work using gcom and wvdial
[20:15] <psam> but now it doesn't
[20:15] <azlon> n8tuser: what is the permanent fix?
[20:15] <psam> because gcom registration times out
[20:15] <psam> can someone help me?
[20:15] <n8tuser> azlon -> please do what i suggested, look for a tutorial on udev
[20:15] <psam> plz =)
[20:15] <darkham> why avidemux don't let me save audio in mp3 cbr 320k?
[20:16] <n8tuser> psam -> what is the problem? you dont get a serial connection?
[20:16] <makmum> okey slart, thx ^_^
[20:16] <Jordan_U> darkham: Do you have the LAME encoder installed
[20:16] <darkham> yes,
[20:16] <darkham> max cbr is 224
[20:17] <pranav> anywone knows how to fix a probelm with sound.... ?
[20:17] <Slart> makmum: you're welcome.. you can read the rest of that file if you want to know more about what happens when xorg starts up.. head just prints out the first 10 lines or so
[20:17] <BBUB-Ebay> any 1 know about hard drive recovery??
[20:17] <pranav> apperently there is sound on the headphones, but not on speakers
[20:17] <Lostinspace_46> What is wrong with this little 4 line if statement? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d769735bf
[20:17] <Slart> BBUB-Ebay: what kind of recovery? what has happened to the drive?
[20:18] <BBUB-Ebay> i zeroed out the first 64 sectors of my hard drive
[20:18] <psam> n8tuser well gcom says that the sim is ready
[20:18] <psam> and then registration times out
[20:18] <psam> it used to work before
[20:18] <psam> but i made some updates
[20:19] <psam> that might be the problem but i can't find a solution
[20:19] <n8tuser> psam -> i dont know how to talk to a sim,
[20:19] <pranav> need hellp... pls
[20:19] <n8tuser> psam but if it was hayes modem command like, maybe you can find out from the manual
[20:20] <psam> what is hayes modem command ?
[20:20] <psam> sorry for my ignorance
[20:20] <Slart> Lostinspace_46: tried adding a ; after "/usr/bin/xbindkeys" ?
[20:21] <Lostinspace_46> Slart: No I haven't.  Shouldn't need one as it is the end of statement, right??
[20:22] <Lostinspace_46> Slart: I have the same code for bash aliases and it works fine
[20:22] <Slart> Lostinspace_46: I'm not sure about the finer points of the bash syntax.. could you please just try? *puppy eyes* ;)
[20:22] <Xoop> Where in the ubuntu files are the keystroke config files
[20:23] <Lostinspace_46> Slart OK..brb
[20:23] <Slart> Lostinspace_46: nevermind.. I just tried without the ;   it works on my machine
[20:23] <ryguy> When I open a link on desktop 2 (on IRC for example) and my web browser is already open on desktop 1, I'd like to have it automatically switch from desktop 2 to desktop 1, rather than having the web browser be brought over to desktop 2. Is there a way to do this?
[20:23] <n8tuser> Xoop -> thats a mystery for me too, look into xmodmap, dumpkeys  commands
[20:24] <Slart> Lostinspace_46: even you example runs fine when I try it here.. it doesn't work on your machine?
[20:26] <Megabyte> fccf, Too bad. As of wine 1.1.30, no fix.
[20:27] <Lostinspace_46> Slart Hmmm, I thought it should. I tried with the ; and no change.
[20:27] <ryguy> When I open a link on desktop 2 (on IRC for example) and my web browser is already open on desktop 1, I'd like to have it automatically switch from desktop 2 to desktop 1, rather than having the web browser be brought over to desktop 2. Is there a way to do this?
[20:28] <Slart> Lostinspace_46: do you get some kind of error when you run it? or it just doesn't do what you want?
[20:29] <Lostinspace_46> Slart: It just doesn,t start xbindkeys.  It worked on my last install.  Permissions maybe?
[20:31] <Lostinspace_46> Slart: I can start it manually, but I shouldn't have to.
[20:31] <AlexInBlack> Boot-up fails and I get a message about initramfs giving up on waiting for root device. I also get the message: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/f8acb85f-d1d3-4e8a-8cf3-80de0db403e0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" I then get dropped into BusyBox/initramfs
[20:31] <Slart> Lostinspace_46: -x shouldn't really need any special permissions.. the file is there?
[20:31] <meatbun> is it just me or what? i been experiencing lots of firefox-grayed-out, and can't move until firefox finish loading.
[20:32] <Lostinspace_46> Slart: It's there.  I don't know why that snippet doesn't work.
[20:32] <Slart> meatbun: I get that every time I start firefox.. I'm looking forward to a clean install of karmic
[20:33] <meatbun> Slart, ever since i upgrade to newer ubuntu distro. i thought it's an ubuntu prob. but i guess it's because newer version of firefox sucks.
[20:34] <Slart> meatbun:  well.. I wont make up my mind until I've tried it on a fresh install
[20:34] <meatbun> Slart, mine is fresh install of ubuntu.
[20:34] <Slart> Lostinspace_46: indeed.. very strange..
[20:35] <Slart> meatbun: oh.. bad news for me than, I guess =/
[20:35] <shawn_> Umm I just downloaded HPlip and installed it and it installed it to my desktop
[20:35] <shawn_> Where should I move it :O
[20:36] <ryguy> When I open a link on desktop 2 (on IRC for example) and my web browser is already open on desktop 1, I'd like to have it automatically switch from desktop 2 to desktop 1, rather than having the web browser be brought over to desktop 2. Is there a way to do this?
[20:36] <Lostinspace_46> Slart: Well, I will go and look it all over again.  I will let you know how it turns out
[20:36] <coolcat> I am trying to install adobe reader, but when I try to run the binary I get the error message, could anyone help me with this?
[20:37] <Andril> ok its been a while - hello all
[20:38] <Two4> allo Andril
[20:38] <pranav> i need help with speakers... There is sound coming from the headphones, but not from the speakers... anyone knows howto??
[20:38] <genii> shawn_: You should probably instead just install hplip from Add/Remove  and delete the one you downloaded
[20:38] <AlexInBlack> Boot-up fails and I get a message after "Loading, please wait..." that says: "Gave up waiting for root device." It then lists common problems. After that, I get: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/f8acb85f-d1d3-4e8a-8cf3-80de0db403e0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!"
[20:38] <AlexInBlack> I then get dropped into BusyBox/initramfs.
[20:38] <Two4> pranav, are the headphones USB or 35mm?
[20:39] <pranav> 35 mm
[20:39] <Two4> unplug the headphones?
[20:39] <pranav> ya, obv...
[20:40] <pranav> but there is no sound
[20:40] <Two4> or do you mean nothing comes out when they ARE unplugged?
[20:40] <coolcat> how do I install adobe reader?
[20:40] <Two4> oh
[20:40] <Two4> sounds like a hardware fault
[20:40] <pranav> no, no sound when they're unplugged
[20:40] <pranav> it just plays on the headphones
[20:40] <Two4> you might have to check the connection between you speakers and your soundcard
[20:41] <pranav> i tried switching the hardware devices as well... din work
[20:41] <pranav> it's working on windows
[20:41] <Two4> oh
[20:41] <pranav> its a compaq c40 laptop]
[20:41] <Two4> strange
[20:41] <venky80> does anyone know which package provides kdesu
[20:41] <Slart> !find kdesu
[20:41] <Slart> venky80: that one ^
[20:41] <pranav> agreed... it is wierd...
[20:41] <pranav> any ideas
[20:42] <pranav> i tried alsa as well, settings seem fine
[20:42] <venky80> nope not kdesudo ...kdesu
[20:42] <Two4> I cannot think for the life of me how any driver would be able to distinguish between jack or normal output
[20:43] <Slart> venky80: the file kdesu is installed by the package kdesudo
[20:43] <Two4> does your soundcard detect when a jack is plugged in?
[20:43] <pranav> how do i check that?
[20:43] <venky80> hmm ok..i thought there was a kde package which provides it
[20:43] <pete_>  whats the proper way to use rc.local one command per line?
[20:43] <ghostlines> I can't change the ownership of an external drive, everytime i mount it the owner and group get set back to root
[20:43] <ghostlines> why may this be?
[20:43] <pranav> i mean whether the jack is detected?
[20:44] <Slart> venky80: yes.. there is a kde package.. that package is called "kdesudo"
[20:44] <Two4> in windows, does it report when a jack is plugged in? like 'jack plugged into audio out port'
[20:44] <pranav> ya
[20:44] <pranav> in windows it shows...
[20:44] <venky80> Slart: sorry iam on arch linux..there is no package called kdesudo
[20:44] <venky80> i think it is kubuntu specific package
[20:44] <filosofixit> I have just installed ntop, but I get only blank pages when try to enter the webUI
[20:45] <pranav> somehow it is wierd... but i saw the problem on one of the forums as well, however din solve mine
[20:45] <pete_>  whats the proper way to use rc.local one command per line?
[20:45] <Slart> venky80: ehm.. asking questions about archlinux in #ubuntu..
[20:45] <Two4> it may be related to that, pranav
[20:45] <pranav> i tried all of it
[20:45] <Two4> I'm not sure how you'd disable that though, or if you need to disable it.
[20:45] <venky80> Slart: well ubuntu is popular, so thought maybe someone knows
[20:45] <pranav> i had to reinstall ubuntu thanks to some locks it created
[20:46] <genii> venky80: Also, stop crossposting the same question in multiple channels
[20:46] <venky80> Slart: it is ok...nevermind
[20:46] <venky80> why is it expected that same people hangout in multiple channels...?
[20:46] <venky80> iam confused
[20:46] <ludo> hello all, I can't get gpg key, I always have a timeout error, is there any miror ? here is my command line  sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0CC1223EE2314809
[20:46] <venky80> which channels are you talking about
[20:47] <Two4> common IRC practice, venky80
[20:47] <LetsGo67> How do I remove the clutter in "Open with other application", please?
[20:47] <genii> venky80: For instance if your question is to do with Kubuntu (kdesudo for instance) ask just in the #kubuntu channel, and not in nthere AND in nhere
[20:47] <venky80> ya i have posted the same question in kde archlinux kubuntu and ubuntu....i think it is relevant in all those channels
[20:47] <jsaacmk> I'm having trouble getting amarok to install in 9.04. apt-get cannot find the packages kdebase-runtime, kdelibs5, libplasma3, libqt4-svg, libqt4-webkit, and libqtscrptbindings1 which are required by amarok. Here is my apt sources.list http://pastebin.com/dd7d2c85
[20:48] <venky80> i agree maybe not ubuntu
[20:48] <venky80> but rest are relevant
[20:48] <Two4> LetsGo, I think you would have to dissociate the file extension from the unwanted programs. I'm not sure how you would go about that. any ideas?
[20:48] <genii> venky80: It's NOT relevant to #ubuntu, they use the Gnome desktop by default which has no kdesu/kdesudo at all
[20:49] <venky80> genii: got it
[20:49] <deviL_night> how to view cam in pidgin or other chat software in ubuntu
[20:50] <Slart> deviL_night: I don't think pidgin supports video yet (last I checked it was some kind of policy since chatting doesn't involve video according to them)
[20:50] <Slart> deviL_night: skype has some support for webcams in their latest version, at least.. not sure which one is in the repos
[20:51] <filosofixit> I start ntop with sudo ntop -i eth0 -4 -d  and everything is working fine for a minute or two... after that I get blank pages when visiting some pages in the ntop webUI.. anyone who knows what might be wrong? running jaunty 64 bit...
[20:51] <AlexInBlack> Boot-up fails and I get a message after "Loading, please wait..." that says: "Gave up waiting for root device." It then lists common problems. After that, I get: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/f8acb85f-d1d3-4e8a-8cf3-80de0db403e0 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!" I then get dropped into BusyBox/initramfs. I've tried mounting my / partition via a LiveUSB OS, but even with "sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/jaunty -t ext3", I get the message about,
[20:53] <Slart> AlexInBlack: does the harddrive work? can you access it if you use a live cd?
[20:53] <AlexInBlack> well, i don't have a live cd
[20:53] <AlexInBlack> i'm just using a live usb distro
[20:54] <AlexInBlack> oh the whole hard drive works
[20:54] <AlexInBlack> i've got a windows partition and a /home partition that i can still access
[20:54] <AlexInBlack> but none of my ubuntu kernels work
[20:54] <Slart> AlexInBlack: hmm.. then I don't really know why it would do this...
[20:54] <AlexInBlack> thanks anyways :P
[20:55] <deviL_night> Slart: thank's for your information
[20:55] <Slart> deviL_night: you're welcome
[20:56] <LetsGo67> Two4: I simply went in .local/share/applications but thanks anyway!
[20:56] <Two4> cool
[20:56] <Two4> my e peener grows, feed it more compliments
[20:56] <clearscreen> when you're in aptitude, how do you go BACK to the main list when you've selected a package?
[20:57] <ludo> hello all, I can't get gpg key, I always have a timeout error, is there any miror ? here is my command line  sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 0CC1223EE2314809 ? nobody knows ?
[20:57] <prince_jammys> clearscreen: if you've opened a separate tab, 'q'
[20:57] <clearscreen> prince_jammys: figured it out, but thanks! :)
[20:57] <madhukrishna>  hi all
[20:58] <clearscreen> prince_jammys: another quick question, what do the 'A's mean in front of package names.. are they non-essential packages?
[20:58] <prince_jammys> clearscreen: they were installed automatically to fulfill dependencies
[20:58] <irving> I am a newbie. Ubuntu 9.04 is not recoginizing the USB flash drive. i am runninng ubuntu in Virtualbox
[20:58] <clearscreen> prince_jammys: aha ok
[20:59] <gce> i wonder if something wrong with keyserver.ubuntu.com  ... can't import ppa key either
[20:59] <prince_jammys> clearscreen: .... and will be removed automatically if you remove the package that caused them to be installed, if nothing else depends on them.
[21:00] <irving> Can someone help me to get my USB recognized .
[21:00] <Two4> run system janitor to be certain, afterwards, it'll scan for unused packages
[21:01] <clearscreen> Two4: I use deborphan :P
[21:01] <Two4> irving, you USB controller or USB device?
[21:01] <prince_jammys> me too
[21:01] <Two4> oh
[21:01] <ryguy> How do you use templates (templateN) in conky?
[21:02] <irving> two, 4 my USB device.When i plug it in Ubuntu does not see it. i am running ubuntu 9.04 in virtualbox
[21:02] <Two4> virtualbox gives problems
[21:02] <Two4> I don't know much about virtualbox, either
[21:02] <clearscreen> prince_jammys: sorry for all the questions, but is there a hotkey to purge a packet from the list? it's getting tedious to CTRL-T, go to Package menu, and hit P
[21:02] <prince_jammys> clearscreen: _
[21:03] <prince_jammys> clearscreen: go to the help screen .. all the keys are listed there.
[21:03] <irving> ok thanks -- i'll do more searching
[21:03] <Slart> irving: which version of virtualbox are you running? the OSE version doesn't have usb support, I think
[21:03] <clearscreen> prince_jammys: will do
[21:03] <prince_jammys> clearscreen: and, yes, that was an underscore.
[21:03] <prince_jammys> ... to purge
[21:04] <irving> slart, how do i know which version. I downloaded the latest from virtualbox.org
[21:04] <prince_jammys> clearscreen: the minus sign removes. the underscore purges
[21:04] <clearscreen> alright
[21:05] <userone> I just read this article on how to recover root password in ubuntu: http://www.ivankristianto.com/2009/09/howto-recover-root-password-in-ubuntu/.  Bios password?
[21:05] <siinz> does anyone have a recommendation for a wireless network management tool besides network manager?
[21:05] <Slart> irving: hmm.. hang on
[21:06] <zleap> userone, i am sure you can password protect other areas,  such as lilo,
[21:06] <Slart> irving: in the properties for the virtual machine.. do you have settings for usb?
[21:07] <irving> slart standby
[21:07] <Slart> userone: keeping a machine secure when the bad people have physical access is very very hard...
[21:07] <himuraken> JUst bought a MSI K9N2 Diamond and it came with the Soundblaster XFI xtreme, anyone had any luck getting sound out of it yet?
[21:08] <himuraken> I followed this and got it to show up, but no output   http://wiki.debian.org/X-Fi
[21:08] <zleap> you should be able to password protect Lilo, so I am guessing grub can be too
[21:08] <tgm> userone, if i have access to your computer i have access to your data
[21:08] <zleap> but you need to stop physical access to the computer
[21:08] <userone> Slart: yes, that is right
[21:08] <cronix> hi all
[21:08] <Slart> userone: I think the best you can do is keep stuff encrypted.. afaik there's no way to make sure the bad people don't boot from something else or just remove the hard drive altogether
[21:08] <cronix> can anyone help me geting my TV card running on ubuntu?
[21:08] <tgm> although you could encrypt the drive i suppose
[21:09] <siinz> anyone got a network management tool tool recommendation for wireless networking besides network manager?
[21:09] <tgm> cronix, what tv card
[21:09] <cronix> avermedia super 007
[21:09] <kyja> has anyone know of a bash prompt that actually has the time in it. that changes on the prompt not static from each stop wait.
[21:09] <userone> tgm: but you cant read any files that have passwords...can you?
[21:09] <tgm> cronix, sorry no idea
[21:09] <himuraken> Need help with an xfi xtreme if anyone has a few tips
[21:09] <Slart> kyja: are you sure bash can do that? I'm not so sure
[21:09] <tgm> userone, well that would depend on how you are password protecting it
[21:10] <cronix> np and thanks anyway tgm
[21:10] <irving> slart, i saw USB devices I get error failed to attach
[21:10] <tgm> userone, if you are talking about permissions, then yea if I have your system i own it
[21:10] <prince_jammys> kyja: PS1='$(date)'
[21:10] <kyja> Slart, thats right I am not sure. seems like that is not part of the interactive shell to be able to do live prompt updates. I was wondering though if I was wrong.
[21:10] <tgm> userone, if you are actually encrypting the files, then it
[21:10] <tgm> i
[21:10] <tgm> bah
[21:10] <tgm> its much harder
[21:11] <prince_jammys> kyja: you MUST single quote it so it gets run when PS1 is printed.
[21:11] <tgm> sorry, on my wifes mini 9 right now
[21:11] <Slart> irving: ok.. you've probably got the "other" version of virtualbox so it should support usb..  are you running virtualbox in windows?
[21:11] <kyja> ok prince_jammys
[21:11] <userone> Slart: I dont care if someone wipes the hdd for there own use, so long as they cannot read my files (confidential patient medical files)
[21:11] <AlexInBlack> exit
[21:11] <tgm> userone, well you need to encrypt the files then
[21:11] <Slart> userone: then encryptions sounds like what you want.. have a look at truecrypt
[21:11] <irving> slart, yes
[21:11] <userone> tgm: If i use a password protected file in openoffice, can root read that?
[21:12] <irving> slart, windows xp pro
[21:12] <himuraken> WOuldnt it be best to encrypt the entire disk?
[21:12] <ni1s_eee> just installed 9.10 on my eee1008ha, all works great but the touchpad, i cant doubble tab it to click, did I miss some setting somewhere?
[21:12] <prince_jammys> kyja: if you do PS=$(date) or PS1="$(date)" , $(date) expands at the time of assignment and never will change.
[21:12] <Slart> irving: not really sure if it's a windows problem or a virtualbox problem.. don't they have some forums on their site?
[21:13] <kyja> prince_jammys, thats a bummer. that would be one cool bash prompt.
[21:13] <prince_jammys> kyja: you can do it, by single quoting it.
[21:13] <userone> Slart: tgm: are there any problems with encryption i need to be aware? transfer from 64bit (my laptop) to 32bit (my netbook)?
[21:13] <tgm_> bah
[21:13] <kyja> ok I will try it
[21:13] <siinz> anyone have a recommendation for a network management tool for wireless networks besides network manager?
[21:13] <userone> himuraken: how do i encrypt the entire disk?
[21:14] <tgm_> userone, sorry xchat crashed
[21:14] <tgm_> userone, so you need to encrypt the files then
[21:14] <himuraken> userone, I do it duing the installation.
[21:14] <tgm_> userone, because I can easily slave the drive and read unencrypted files
[21:14] <tgm_> userone, personally, I don
[21:14] <Slart> userone: I haven't used it that much myself so I wouldn't really know.. I can just offer the standard advice.. make a backup copy of the key somewhere.. without it your files are gone.. as in really gone...
[21:14] <himuraken> That way the entire disk is encrypted. If I need to encrypt certain files, I use truecrypt.org
[21:15] <tgm_> userone, personally i dont think you should have personal medical files on a laptop anyway
[21:15] <tgm_> userone, is this personal medical info, or someone elses?
[21:15] <Slart> userone: have a look at truecrypt and encryptfs.. depending on if you need to encrypt the entire drive or just smaller parts
[21:15] <userone> tgm_: i agree...but what else can I do between different sites? any ideas?
[21:15] <prince_jammys> kyja: PS1='[\u@\w]$(date +%T) \$ '
[21:15] <flippo> I like encfs for encrypted directories
[21:16] <tgm_> userone, hmm. I would probably keep it in a personal cloud that requires ssh and gpg authentication
[21:16] <Mrokii> Hello. I'd like to know how I can use a modified xmodmap-file instead of the one that is used as a standard. I need to remap some keys.
[21:17] <tgm_> userone, is this for a business?
[21:17] <cronix> is there anything important to know before compiling a kernel for ubuntu or is it the same way you do it for debian?
[21:17] <userone> tgm_: for work, yes
[21:18] <prince_jammys> !kernel | cronix : Probably not, but check
[21:18] <tgm_> userone, ok, so you are bound by hippa laws then
[21:18] <userone> Slart: thanks, i am just looking those up now...
[21:18] <cronix> thanks prince_jammys
[21:18] <Mrokii> or, a more general question: What would be the best/easiest way to remap some keys?
[21:19] <tgm_> userone, im not familiar with those laws much, or with your work. is there a central server that this info is kept?
[21:19] <hipodilski> hi guys I'm running 64 bit ubuntu interpid
[21:19] <happosade> Can I make somehow gif run in double speed with convert?
[21:19] <siinz> okay...well lets give my issue another shot...anyone know networking and wireless really well in here?
[21:20] <hipodilski> I have problems with opening .torrent file as a default behaviour
[21:20] <hipodilski> in firefox
[21:20] <hipodilski> any idea how to fix that?
[21:21] <prince_jammys> !defaultapp | hipodilski : perhaps ...
[21:21] <Mrokii> hipodilski:  In FF3.5 there should be an "Applications"-tab in the prefs-window
[21:21] <tgm_> siinz, my connection sucks right now, but have you googled network manager alternative
[21:21] <Mrokii> hipodilski:  I think there you can tell FF what to do with specific filetypes
[21:21] <userone> tgm_: the central server is most probably well maintained by the IT dept. I am just interested in protecting the few files I need to take home to work on.
[21:22] <siinz> tgm_: not yet...i've heard that may fix the issue but i'd rather not change shit up if i dont have to
[21:22] <happosade> !convert > me
[21:22] <Nq6> hi
[21:22] <tgm_> userone, ok, let me explain a few things then. you should be able to make a decision then
[21:22] <ichat> quick  question  -  is there an ncurses  xconfig  tool in  ubuntu installed (default)
[21:22] <cronix> hm
[21:22] <userone> tgm_: thanks..go ahead
[21:22] <cronix> alright
[21:22] <cronix> my tv card now works again but i dont have sound?
[21:23] <tgm_> userone, bios password, this would prevent the system from booting without the password. Bypassed by me puting the HD in another computer
[21:23] <cronix> how do i configure it so it uses the audio stream of the tv card on the pci interface?
[21:23] <kyja> ah but this is interesting for those that are interested http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prompt-HOWTO/clockt.html
[21:23] <tgm_> userone, grub password, prevents system from booting/editing grub, also bypassed by using another computer
[21:24] <ghostlines> I'm on a ntfs drive and all the files looks highlighted in the shell, though i mounted it with a umask=001
[21:24] <ichat> tgm_  do you perhaps know if theres a tool in ncurses (or ncurses) like  to fix  xorg
[21:24] <ghostlines> why is this?
[21:24] <tgm_> userone, disk/folder/file encryption, without the password, cant access the files. In theory, bypassed by having a running system, and freezing the ram to gain the password
[21:25] <Evelina> How do I get all text in a text file to be on a single line instead of many lines?
[21:25] <bastidrazor> !pastebin | Evelina
[21:25] <fita> hi
[21:25] <prince_jammys> Evelina: ask questions like this in #bash.  tr '\n' ' ' <file
[21:26] <tgm_> userone, if you are just worried about the privacy of the files, id probably make sure that the folder/file is encrypted. and that the password isnt stored on the computer
[21:26] <Evelina> bastidrazor: Not here, in Terminal with text files.
[21:26] <bastidrazor> Evelina: or you could use pastebinit to paste the entire file.. sudo apt-get install pastebinit ..then type pastebinit file
[21:26] <prince_jammys> Evelina: or tr -d '\n' < file   to just zap all newlines.
[21:26] <tgm_> userone, ie, every time you open the file it needs to promt for the password
[21:26] <tgm_> userone, and use a strong password
[21:27] <tgm_> userone, it may be slightly annoying, but its better than stolen data
[21:27] <tgm_> ichat, no idea
[21:27] <happosade> How to make gif run in double speed?
[21:27] <tgm_> ichat, what is wrong with xorg?
[21:27] <happosade> convert that gif
[21:28] <hipodilski> Mrokii: yes thanks
[21:28] <puff> Hi, I'm trying to download some podcasts .  I tried gpodder but the version in the repos is 0.12.1 and they're working on version 2...
[21:28] <tgm_> userone, the idea with that is that if your computer is stolen while asleep or even on, then the data still cannot be accessed
[21:28] <puff> So now I'm trying amarok, and I've added the podcasts, now ow do I actually listen to them?
[21:28] <tgm_> userone, which isnt the case if you encrypt the full disk
[21:28] <Mrokii> hipodilski:  yw
[21:29] <tgm_> userone, also keep in mind that If you lose the password that you will not be able to get in either
[21:29] <ichat> tgm_   new system -   with  gforce fx 5xxx  -  ubuntu studio, -  it asks me for the nv driver,  (someversion) ...  after rooboot xorg fails
[21:29] <tgm_> userone, although IIRC there is a unique key that you get when encrypting it that should be kept in a safe
[21:30] <tgm_> ichat, strange, how are you installing the nvidia driver?
[21:30] <ichat> system asked me...
[21:30] <tgm_> ichat, also, what version of Ubuntu studio
[21:30] <ichat> with the update manager...
[21:30] <ichat> 9.04
[21:30] <tgm_> hmm
[21:30] <hikenboot> how do i import keys ment for ubuntu on centos?
[21:30] <userone> tgm_: thanks a lot for your help!! I only have a few (but important) files that need to be protected so entering a password every time would not be any hassle. Even if I forget the password, the original file is on the database. I just wanted to keep them secure on my laptop.
[21:30] <hikenboot> s/ment/meant
[21:31] <hikenboot> so i can do a debmirror
[21:31] <Darkedge> Hey guys,
[21:31] <deviL_night> !help
[21:31] <tgm_> ichat, that shouldnt happen, have you tried the ubuntu studio support?
[21:31] <ichat> tgm i want a way to change x back to the ubuntu defaults of before  nv was installed
[21:31] <maple> how do I join a channel on irc?
[21:31] <Evelina> prince_jammys: When I look at the text in Gedit it doesn't look like being on a single line after tr -d '\n'
[21:31] <nascentmind> hi. I am getting a  Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module": /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libcanberra-gtk-module.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 when i run and AIR app. how can i fix this?
[21:31] <hikenboot> how do i import keys meant for ubuntu on centos so i can do a debmirror
[21:31] <prince_jammys> Evelina: tr doesn't edit a file in place.
[21:31] <tgm_> ichat, not sure, but you could try switching the driver to vesa, that should at least give you a graphical interface
[21:32] <prince_jammys> Evelina: tr -d '\n' < file >newfile
[21:32] <ichat> tgm had this before,  but that tome i hade a backup bootconfig -  so i could install a dif  nvdriver still - but now im stuck to  terminal
[21:32] <tgm_> userone, np
[21:32] <puff> userone: well, one easy way to do it would be to use the openssl package.
[21:32] <Zoohouse> hello everyone
[21:33] <puff> userone: openssl bf -salt -in inputfile.txt -out outputfile.txt
[21:33] <prince_jammys> maple: /join #channel_name
[21:33] <Evelina> I did this: curl -Ls URL | tr -d '\n' > textfile.txt, why isn't it working?
[21:33] <Evelina> prince_jammys: I used tjhat command.
[21:33] <dorkface> Hi all.  I'm currently trying to construct a live CD using software called reconstructor.  At the moment, I'm trying to configure ubuntu to log in automatically, which means that I am editing /etc/gdm/gdm.conf.  However, when I burn it to CD, for some inexplicable reason, sometimes the automatic login works and sometimes it DOESNT.  How is this possible on a device that is DESINGED to not change?
[21:33] <prince_jammys> Evelina: well, i guarantee that you removed every newline character from curl's output.
[21:34] <puff> userone: It will prompt you for a passphrase;  you can also specify the passphrase with a command-line option, but then of course the passphrase is in your shell history :-)
[21:34] <tgm_> ichat, sorry dont know. maybe poke in ubuntu studio. IIRC 9.04 should always get you to a GUI
[21:34] <prince_jammys> Evelina: it may be that it has also carriage returns that Gedit renders as newlines?  tr -d '\r\n'
[21:34] <metatagg> ichat: ive got a geforce 5200
[21:35] <tgm_> puff, hes talking about encrypting his files on his laptop, although I suppose if he could ssh in and forward X that might work too
[21:35] <tgm_> although he would require internet connection everywhere then, and it would be slow
[21:35] <Evelina> prince_jammys: Then curl -Ls | tr -d '\n' | grep -o "title.*title" at the end of the pipe would give me the title tags?
[21:35] <userone> puff: what you are suggesting sounds interesting. so this would allow me to password protect any type of file, and not just openoffice ones?
[21:35] <tgm_> id stick with the file encryption
[21:35] <metatagg> maybe you can try downloading a driver from  the nvidia webiste
[21:35] <prince_jammys> Evelina: if you're lucky :)  Parsing html with grep, tr, etc. sucks.
[21:35] <Evelina> prince_jammys: Normally the title tags is on different rows, but now grep will work?
[21:36] <tgm_> userone, the files would reside on the server, not your laptop
[21:36] <dsdeiz> hi, is ncmpcpp just new since it isn't in the 8.10 repository?
[21:36] <Evelina> prince_jammys: What do I have to use?
[21:36] <_angelo_> Hello! How to change permantly the dimension of gnome-terminal windows? At startup it is maximazed. I'm using unr 9.04.
[21:36] <_angelo_> *permanently
[21:36] <Darkedge> Guys,
[21:36] <puff> tgm_:  I assumed his laptoip had ubuntu, and hence the openssl package, on it.
[21:36] <userone> tgm_: i see...good point
[21:36] <prince_jammys> Evelina: To do it right: an html parser. Parsing html with line-based tools like grep is not reliable.
[21:36] <puff> tgm_: You don't have to use it with an ssh connection, openssl includes the feature to just run a file through the encryption algo.
[21:37] <Evelina> prince_jammys: Why isn't it reliable, just wondering?
[21:37] <tgm_> puff, it does, but getting the files on the server isnt the entire issue though
[21:37] <tgm_> puff, need to make sure the files arent accessable to a thief
[21:37] <userone> puff: I am using ubuntu on my laptop
[21:37] <puff> tgm_: I do not understand why you're talking about the server.
[21:38] <tgm_> puff, ok, i misunderstood you
[21:38] <tgm_> puff, you are talking about encrypting the files with openssl?
[21:38] <puff> tgm_: Yup.
[21:38] <tgm_> puff, ok, sorry, thought you were talking about something else
[21:39] <zopiac> why doesn't alt+f2 prompt work like a terminal >_<
[21:39] <_angelo_> nobody can help me? :O
[21:39] <bastidrazor> _angelo_: does unr use compiz?
[21:39] <_angelo_> nope
[21:39] <puff> tgm_:  No sweat.
[21:39] <zopiac> for instance, I have an sh in my home folder. in the terminal i can just type ~/file.sh and it runs it, doesnt work for alt+f2. really annoying
[21:39] <x-kent_> can someone recommend a home multimedia system like TIVO ? Something that runs on a pc that is connected to a TV and I can use it for pictures/video/music
[21:40] <tgm_> puff, userone so yea, you can use openssl for that, but dont use the cmd line switch for your password
[21:40] <tgm_> wow
[21:40] <tgm_> wow
[21:40] <bastidrazor> _angelo_: i know how to set it in compiz.. :\
[21:40] <Steil>  \!
[21:40] <tgm_> puff, userone so yea, you can use openssl for that, but dont use the cmd line switch for your password
[21:40] <Steil> !netsplit
[21:40] <puff> tgm_: basically you just do $ openssl encrytptiontype -salt -in inputfile.txt -out outputfile.whatever
[21:40] <_angelo_> bastidrazor, thanks anyway
[21:40] <Steil> 'x-kent_, myth tgv
[21:40] <userone> puff: so does that mean I can use it to password protect any file?
[21:40] <Steil> tv
[21:40] <puff> tgm_: "bf" for blowfish being the safest encryption type to default ot, or so I'mt old.
[21:40] <puff> userone:  Yes.
[21:41] <puff> userone: Any file, just as the example I just gave.
[21:41] <puff> userone: It's actually possible to do tricksier things, I've read, but I haven't tried.
[21:42] <tgm_> puff, ok, but wouldnt that need to be done before the file is opened? and after
[21:42] <tgm_> puff, to unencrypt and encrypt the file
[21:42] <puff> userone: Also note that this doesn't necessarily protect you against disk recovery, etc, so it's not super-secure.
[21:42] <tgm_> puff, of is there any sort of gnome integration that will prompt for a password
[21:42] <ollie_> Hi, my webcam works, but its upside down... How can I flip it the right way up? Its this one if it helps: "Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller
[21:42] <ollie_> "
[21:42] <Two4> lol, verne just went down... and went back up again...
[21:43] <userone> puff: thats fine..I just wanted to protect the files while they are on my laptop. the original files are in a secure server
[21:43] <happyLarry> how do you install advanced desktop through the terminal?
[21:44] <bastidrazor> !ccsm | happyLarry
[21:44] <Two4> netsplit...
[21:44] <bastidrazor> happyLarry: uh, you meant compiz config settings right?
[21:44] <tgm_> userone, i believe that if you encrypt the files, you will be deemed taking the necessary precautions against theft in terms of privacy
[21:44] <puff> userone: I've heard good things about truecrypt, but I haven't explored it yet.
[21:44] <happyLarry> bastidrazor yeah im having a problem with the advanced desktop from add/remove it doesnt have cursor theme in general options anymore
[21:45] <tgm_> note: i am not a lawyer
[21:45] <userone> tgm_: and password protection isnt enough, you think?
[21:45] <_angelo_> is it possible that the geometries are "hard coded" in gnome-terminal?
[21:45] <_angelo_> if I use the flag geometry, it doesnt work
[21:45] <puff> So, anyone, amarok?
[21:45] <puff> tgm_:  Yeah.
[21:45] <tgm_> userone, do a quick search on busting the password on excel files
[21:45] <userone> puff: out of interest, can you explain what the bf -salt -in bit of the command is doing?
[21:46] <tgm_> puff, not amarok anymore since 1.4
[21:46] <puff> tgm_:  That's where truecrypt would fit the bill...
[21:46] <puff> http://www.howtoforge.com/truecrypt_data_encryption
[21:46] <userone> tgm_: hang on...searching...
[21:46] <ichat> wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/173.14.20/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.20-pkg1.run   = i did this how to install it
[21:46] <tgm_> puff, yea ive heard good things about trucrypt as well
[21:46] <mifa> _angelo_ you need to use gconf-editor to set the terminal geometry
[21:46] <tgm_> but also bad things about full disk encryption
[21:46] <puff> userone:  Well you could even encrypt them on the server, before downloading htem.
[21:46] <happyLarry> okay im having problems with my mouse cursor.  general option doesnt have cursor theme where did they place the option?
[21:47] <_angelo_> mifa, what's the item that do I need to change?
[21:47] <ichat> metatagg:     - how to
[21:47] <Ingsoc> I can't get ubuntu to recognise a blank cd. Using 9.04, HPdvd740 drive. Any ideas?
[21:47] <freedomfist> yo
[21:47] <HazeFaze> userone: to encrypt complete directories encfs is a good start, to crypt a complete partition take a look at cryptsetup
[21:47] <tgm_> userone, how do you get the files from the server?
[21:47] <Two4> on the subject of encryption, I have an encrypted .vol file. wht would I use to mount and decrypt it?
[21:47] <puff> tgm_:  I'm gunshy about full disk encryption, but this tutorial seems to imply that oyu can use truecrypt in a more limited fashion.
[21:47] <baz> whats all this key server bs when adding software sources?
[21:47] <mifa> _angelo_ from gconf-editor -> desktop\gnome\terminal
[21:48] <guntbert> puff: one question about your suggestion to userone : he would still have to delete the *original* file, wouldn't he?
[21:48] <Mrokii> happyLarry:  Appearance-prefs/themes, then customize, that should open a window where you can change pointers. Is tht it?
[21:48] <freedomfist> does anyone have good experience with ip hiding?
[21:48] <_angelo_> let me see...
[21:48] <happyLarry> mrokii no i mean in ccsm
[21:48] <puff> guntbert: Yes, though I beleive it's possible to have openssl encrypt it in place, so to speak.
[21:48] <tgm_> freedomfist, ip hiding?
[21:48] <freedomfist> yeah..
[21:48] <tgm_> freedomfist, like on IRC?
[21:48] <freedomfist> like appearing to come from somewhere your not
[21:48] <freedomfist> yeah
[21:48] <guntbert> puff: thought so....
[21:48] <tgm_> freedomfist, so you mean using a proxy?
[21:48] <guntbert> !ot | freedomfist
[21:48] <mifa> _angelo_ adjust exec to gnome-terminal --geometry=90x40 (or whatever you desire)
[21:49] <happyLarry> i changed the mouse cursor and it only works and shows partially i use to go to general option>cursor theme and then input the x11 theme and it would work but that option isnt there no more mrokii
[21:49] <freedomfist> Im running MAC changer and hide my ip but on here it isnt hiding anything
[21:49] <Two4> freedomfist, that's IP spoofing. If you want anonymity, use Tor
[21:49] <_angelo_> mifa, there is not that item!
[21:49] <tgm_> freedomfist, you want a cloak
[21:49] <userone> tgm_: I download them only from work, when my laptop is connected to the network.
[21:49] <tgm_> userone, ah
[21:49] <metatagg> ichat: have you got access to internet on the ubuntu-studiomachine?
[21:49] <Mrokii> happosade:  Sorry, I am an Ubuntu-newbie as well. Don't know what could cause that
[21:49] <tgm_> userone, well then my next idea probably wouldnt work then
[21:50] <Mrokii> happyLarry:  Sorry, I am an Ubuntu-newbie as well. Don't know what could cause that
[21:50] <tgm_> freedomfist, google freenode cloak
[21:50] <ichat> metatagg:  -  yes i downloaded the file
[21:50] <ActiVision> I can't play mp3's even whith restricted-extras installed, help
[21:50] <happyLarry> mrokii thanks
[21:50] <ichat> but how to actually run it?
[21:50] <freedomfist> okay
[21:50] <Pici> freedomfist: cloaks can be requested in #freenode
[21:50] <cronix> ActiVision: apt-get install lame
[21:50] <mifa> _angelo_ then create it, see the following URL http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-255048.html
[21:50] <tgm_> hmm
[21:50] <tgm_> !cloak
[21:50] <Mrokii> happyLarry:  yw
[21:50] <metatagg> ichat: ok! then you type sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.20-pkg1.run
[21:50] <Ingsoc> I can't get ubuntu to recognise a blank cd. Using 9.04, HPdvd740 drive. Any ideas? Please help
[21:50] <puff> So, I am trying to use amarok to download podcasts.  I've added the podcast URLs, amarok fetches the podcasts and all, now how do I get it to downlod them, and where do I find the files?
[21:51] <ichat> metatagg:  - ic i forgot the  sh part
[21:51] <metatagg> ichat: or sh ./N then use the "tab" key
[21:51] <tgm_> Ingsoc, does it recognize regular CDs
[21:51] <userone> tgm_: but what was that, just out of interest? (I realise this is a support site, but its a great place to learn!!)
[21:51] <metatagg> ichat: good luck :)
[21:51] <mifa> freedomfist changing your mac will not hide your IP, mac is layer 2, IP is layer 3
[21:51] <Bo3Bo3> I need Program For Get Table asp sites plz
[21:52] <Ingsoc> tgm_ yes it recognizes cd's with data on them but not blank media
[21:52] <userone> tgm_: btw, done some searching and now I know what you mean about the password protected files!!
[21:52] <Pici> Bo3Bo3: Can you rephrase that?
[21:52] <MenZa> Bo3Bo3: I think we'd be able to help you better if you, you know, could make yourself understandable.
[21:52] <Akra1> need help for sound issue on Dell c600 notebook
[21:53] <tgm_> userone, you would need a internet connection whenever you wanted to open the files, but here it is. you would create an encrypted connection (maybe with ssh) to the server with the files on it, then open the files from the server. they wouldnt actually be on your computer at that point (except in ram)
[21:53] <Akra1> sound isues.. help plese
[21:53] <puff> tgm_: That's a good strategy, if it's workable.
[21:53] <ollie_> Hi, my webcam works, but its upside down... How can I flip it the right way up? Its this one if it helps: "Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller"
[21:54] <ActiVision> It's still not working

[21:54] <puff> tgm_: There are a number of ways to fake remote-mounting the fils.
[21:54] <Crosswing> Hi, I am experiencing some weird identd problems - I have installed 3 different daemons (pidentd, oidentd and midentd) and it still doesn't work. I am behind a router, I've done the port forwarding, identd is running but I still get 'no ident' reply from an IRC server. Any ideas? :)
[21:54] <tgm_> puff, yea, you need to have an internet connection for it. you can also require extra security for the ssh connection. password and GPG key perhaps
[21:55] <Akra1> sound not working on dell c600 .. any tip?
[21:55] <puff> tgm_: He's using open office, right?  FUSE maybe?
[21:55] <puff> tgm_: or sshfs.
[21:55] <tgm_> puff, yea fuse should work. im a fan of fuse becaues you dont need root access to mount it
[21:55] <Bo3Bo3> I can hack shop admin with this program SQLIHelperV2.7 but i cant hack .asp sites eny one have progrma sent to me , Ty

[21:57] <hic> hi, I need help with delayed start of scheduled task after resume from suspend to disk
[21:57] <userone> tgm_: puff: trucrypt doesnt seem to be available from synaptic 64bit. do i download it from sourceforge or its own website (truecrypt.org?)
[21:57] <mifa> _angelo_ logout and log back in, i believe i rebooted as well to be sure
[21:58] <Darkedge> ....
[21:58] <Darkedge> :D Worked
[21:58] <Darkedge> Anyways,
[21:58] <sdlwof> any idea why ubuntu won't use my flash drive after i ran the update manager?
[21:58] <_angelo_> hmmm, let me try then...
[21:58] <Akra1> sound issues help needed?
[21:58] <userone> puff: can you explain what the bf -salt -in bit does in your suggestion?
[21:58] <riffrob> screen flashing! can anyone help
[21:58] <freedomfist> !cloak
[21:58] <soreau> XDevHald: I guess you could bind Ctrl+Button1 to an arbitrary binding to make it not have any effect..
[21:59] <Two4> riffrob, don't develop epilipsy anytime soon
[21:59] <blankhead> how do i update to the offical 3.5 and not shrekito
[21:59] <XDevHald> Ah
[21:59] <XDevHald> soreau: VERY good point
[21:59] <ichat> how do i uninstall  ubuntu invidia package metatagg
[21:59] <XDevHald> Thank you for reminding me
[21:59] <puff> userone: bf is the code for the type of encryption yo're going to use, blowfish, which from what I've read is the recommended one to go wtih if you don't know what you're doing.
[21:59] <mifa> _angelo_ just re-read the post and checked my config.  it's in /desktop/gnome/applications/terminal, I think i forgot to include the applications part :$
[21:59] <riffrob> lolTwo4
[22:00] <puff> userone: Blowfish was invented by Bruce Schneier, the god of computer security, and is generally regarded as pretty sedure.
[22:00] <puff> Er, secure.
[22:00] <metatagg> ichat: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-common
[22:00] <soreau> XDevHald: If you are using Jaunty, go to ccsm>Commands>KeyBindings tab and just set one to ctrl click
[22:00] <metatagg> ichat: sudo apt-get remove invidia
[22:00] <puff> userone: -salt is a flag that really ought to be on by default, again, always use it if you don't know what you're doing.
[22:00] <_angelo_> mifa what's the name of key that you added?
[22:00] <soreau> XDevHald: Make sure the Commands plugin is enabled and see if it works
[22:00] <shawn_> Hmm Im having a bit of a problem with printing in ubuntu... When i try to print something from my crossover'd Microsoft Word nothing happens it just kinda sits there saying printing and my printer even grabs paper and says printing too but it doesnt do anything
