[14:48] <Trox> seems like its called update-manager-gnome
[14:48] <Pelo> what replaces /etc/inittab in ubuntu ?
[14:48] <andi_> r3d2_: i did try that, the partitions did mounted, but there's extra partitions with the name i give to the partitions in fstab.
[14:48] <jaypur> ssv1994, you must have an icq acc. and add it on pidgin
[14:48] <andi_> farhad ???
[14:48] <abhi_> how to stop recent document listing in kubuntu?
[14:48] <jaypur> ssv1994, once you have it, you'll add buddy and select the icq acc. to add
[14:48] <ssv1994> I have an icq account on pidgin
[14:48] <abhi_> i can do it under ubuntu via ubuntu-tweak
[14:49] <lianimator> hi, if I uploaded a file to ubuntu one from the web interface, I cannot see the file in my local folder, should it be like this?
[14:49] <jaypur> ssv1994, so, you go to
[14:49] <abhi_> but dont know how to do it in kubuntu
[14:49] <ssv1994> what to type in buddies username and aliase?
[14:49] <jaypur> ssv1994, friends, add friends...
[14:49] <abhi_> any info.?
[14:49] <r3d2_> andi, I have no idea what you've got in /etc/fstab, and as such I've no idea how to help you.
[14:49] <precrack> o.O
[14:49] <ssv1994> where to typr his number?
[14:49] <jaypur> ssv1994, at the buddies name i think you write his icq id, and make sure it will be add it on icq acc.
[14:50] <jaypur> his number
[14:50] <ssv1994> where to type his icq number?
[14:50] <jaypur> ssv1994,  user name
[14:50] <ssv1994> in username ar alise
[14:50] <r3d2_> try /dev/null ;)
[14:51] <abhi_> any help for me?
[14:51] <jed3ani> ubuntu ROCKS
[14:51] <precrack> anyone here on backtrack? ;p
[14:51] <ssv1994> oh, there where is username I write his number
[14:51] <andi_> r3d2, i erased what i change in fstab. But i remember using ntfs-3g for the type and « user,auto,rw » for the option. And i use the UUID for the ID. The name is folders in /media
[14:51] <bazhang> precrack, support for backtrack in #remote-exploit NOT here
[14:51] <jaypur> ssv1994, at his name you write his number
[14:51] <farhad> andi_,  i read it. thank you very much. but if i am not on the right net of the nfs server? what does it happen?
[14:51] <farhad> andi_,  sorry my net crashed
[14:51] <precrack> It was a question lol..
[14:52] <precrack> I don't need support but thanks :)
[14:52] <bazhang> precrack, then chat in #ubuntu-offtopic if no support needed
[14:52] <r3d2_> andi - I'd get a clean fstab and just boot up, ubuntu should see the drives, and mount when you click them - at least that happens for me
[14:52] <sixtila2> the hash returned by md5sum doesnt match any on the website
[14:53] <sixtila2> is the iso faulty?
[14:53] <r3d2_> Then whatever you've downloaded is corrupt, sixtila2
[14:53] <r3d2_> or the md5 is wrong. More likely the DL is bad.
[14:54] <bazhang> sixtila2, this is a direct download or a torrent download
[14:54] <andi_> r3d2_: sure it does, but it needs your authorization every time you want to mount it. I'm in 9.10 btw, since in 9.04 there's no need for authorization to mount drives
[14:54] <r3d2_> Not the end of the world, I've never md5 checked my iso before installing and life is good.
[14:54] <sixtila2> bazhang direct, us mirror
[14:55] <bazhang> sixtila2, then its corrupted if md5 does not match, perhaps try a torrent
[14:55] <harry> m
[14:55] <harry> witam
[14:55] <sixtila2> thanks, i will try
[14:55] <bazhang> !pl | harry
[14:55] <ionut> hi. does anyone knows if in a web server (linux) mysql stores all the logs that a user does ?
[14:56] <r3d2_> andi, tried a shell script with mount /mnt/Windows /dev/sda1 credentials=.........
[14:56] <r3d2_> ?
[14:56] <sixtila2> even canadian mirror is corrupt:-(
[14:56] <r3d2_> Damn Cannuks!
[14:57] <jefriputra> hello
[14:57] <r3d2_> six - two choices: Your downloads are corrupt, or everyone else is corrupt.
[14:58] <r3d2_> Or their md5 checksums are rubbish.
[14:58] <Zelest> With LVM, is it possible to have a raid5 setup with 1x750Gb and 2x500Gb (being 1TB in total with 500Gb parity data) .. and still be able to use the remaining 250Gb on the 750Gb disk for the actual system/OS?
[14:58] <tolpico> r3d2_, open as administrator for nautilus appeared after restart, but its far below the menu, is there a way to arrange the entries in right click menu? Thanks.
[14:59] <r3d2_> Spitting a single bit will throw the md5, it's nothing you'd want, but it might be something you can live with.
[14:59] <r3d2_> topico - try gconf-editor
[15:00] <arniokas> $ awk '{ print NR ' /etc/services}
[15:00] <arniokas> awk: line 2: missing } near end of file
[15:00] <arniokas> Wtf is wrong?
[15:00] <acicula> misplaced ' ?
[15:01] <arniokas> Whereto shoud I place it?
[15:01] <r3d2_> You should have seen me spitting blood because I hadn't defined the static array I was going to use earlier. If I didn't assign each element a value, it wouldn't compile.
[15:01] <Oasa> hi all
[15:01] <acicula> idunno my awk is pretty rusty
[15:03] <dahlerus> arniokas: what are you trying to do?
[15:03] <iolo> hi
[15:03] <pilif12p> i'm trying to installl my WUSB300N wifi thing on my 8.04 computer, it wont work... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=530772&highlight=wusb300n is what i tried
[15:03] <hvgotcodes> merry xmas!!  whats the vi program that shows the files on the side?
[15:03] <r3d2_> I'm writing a game for XBox Live Arcade - I'm going to sell it for the lowest amount I can, which is 200 points.
[15:03] <pilif12p> the sudo ndiswrapper -i netmw245.inf doesn't work
[15:03] <Oasa> veee eye.. is text editor.... hvgotes
[15:04] <r3d2_> It'll take me 3 months to write, and I'll get back change from it.
[15:04] <Oasa> merry xmas to u too
[15:04] <r3d2_> I still think it's going to be a lot of fun :)
[15:04] <ionut> how can i cancel all the log ( all that i've typed into my terminal on a host ) ?
[15:04] <r3d2_> cancel all the log... hmmm
[15:04] <arniokas> dahlerus I just tried to print out the nubmer of fields in each line of /etc/services
[15:05] <hvgotcodes> Oasa, yes, but there is some plugin or something that shows a text based tree of files on the left so you can navigate around
[15:05] <acicula> ionut: its stored in .bash_history
[15:05] <arniokas> dahlerus it should be NF, not NR
[15:05] <ionut> acicula: and from terminal can i cancel it ?
[15:05] <dahlerus> arniokas: cat /etc/services | awk '{ print NF}'
[15:05] <acicula> ionut: mind you the current session is updated on shell exit
[15:05] <Oasa> yrah.. so wats d prob??
[15:05] <acicula> ionut: so if you never want to log consider linking it to /dev/null or something
[15:05] <acicula> ionut: its a file
[15:06] <ionut> acicula:  i got it. so how can i cancel it ?
[15:06] <acicula> ionut: you remove it?
[15:06] <ionut> the log isn't stored in localhost
[15:06] <r3d2_> Any of you want to go halves on a XBLA game - C# almost a must, a good head on your shoulders far more important.
[15:06] <ionut> acicula: i want to remove it
[15:06] <arniokas> dahlerus and how do i do it without pipe, using filepath`
[15:06] <arniokas> ?
[15:07] <Oasa> hvgtcodes : whats your problem?
[15:07] <dahlerus> arniokas: awk '{ print NF}' /etc/services
[15:07] <pilif12p> I can't get my server online now :(
[15:07] <pilif12p> Help?
[15:07] <r3d2_> Sh..t.. I'm going to have to do all of this myself, aren't I? It's going to be fun when it gets to avitar animation
[15:07] <arniokas> dahlerus thx :)
[15:07] <acicula> pilif12p: to generic, be more specific
[15:08] <dahlerus> arniokas: but I think the comments might screw things up for you, maybe you want to filter them first
[15:08] <Seeker`> !ot | r3d2_
[15:08] <acicula> pilif12p: what is wrong, what are you trying to do, are you sure you are in the right channel to ask
[15:08] <ssv1994> wha is windows-1215   ?
[15:08] <ssv1994> what
[15:08] <pilif12p> acicula: I'm trying to install a WUSB300N wireless adapter on my computer, it runs 8.04 and i can't get online with it...
[15:08] <tolpico> r3d2_, couldn't find right click entry options in cinfig editor, btw are these settings stored in our home direcories, so that i can take a backup of home alone?
[15:08] <r3d2_> Sorry, that was off-topic. No harm meant.
[15:09] <r3d2_> tolpico - it'll be deep in the gconf registry for nautilus
[15:09] <Oasa> !info debian
[15:09] <pilif12p> acicula: I can't do apt-get because i can't get online
[15:09] <ssv1994> guys, what is windows-1215
[15:09] <arniokas> dahler you're right
[15:09] <andi_> r3d2_: you mean run the script at startup? Does it need sudo?
[15:10] <Oasa> yeha... hw to add at startup pgms ??
[15:10] <Oasa> how do i add a program in start up?
[15:10] <r3d2_> andi - with the wrapper installer it should be an option when you right click, AFTER restart after installation.
[15:10] <pilif12p> !startup
[15:10] <Oasa> sorry for my broken english at the begining
[15:10] <Pelo> ok guys, I've googled my heart out,   I'm suppose t put somethign in /etc/inittab but that doesn'T exist in ubuntu , supposedly it's been replaced by /etc/event.d  which I can'T find either , what replaced that ?
[15:10] <Oasa> thank you pilif12p
[15:10] <acicula> pilif12p: check if the hw is supported on the ubuntu wireless wiki, or try a recent ubuntu on a usb stick see if it supports the wireless?
[15:11] <pilif12p> hw?
[15:11] <rsk> HardWare
[15:11] <r3d2_> andi - log out then back in to fire it up.
[15:11] <pilif12p> acicula: http://cr.am/framed.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D530772&ref=driverguide# is waht i'm reading

[15:13] <andi_> r3d2_: thanks...
[15:13] <farhad> r3d2_,  i would like to automount a share nfs when i connect to my home wlan (or cabled lan)
[15:13] <andi_> farhad: did i told u something?
[15:13] <farhad> andi_ advised to me this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Autofs
[15:14] <farhad> i followed it but it doesn't work
[15:14] <poseidon> I just got some money for my birthday and christmas and I want to get a new laptop before I graduate HS
 !automount
[15:14] <Oasa> pilif12p : tell me something that you think I doesnt know in ubuntu. .. i mean i want to learn new features... i am just enthusiastic.
[15:14] <andi_> farhad: when did i advise you?
[15:14] <farhad> andi_,  with the bot
[15:14] <farhad> andi_,  it doesn't matter however
[15:15] <andi_> farhad: actually, it's for me, maybe it's a interesting coincident. :)
[15:15] <r3d2_> farhad - I've just looked at that howto, and it's not my forte, I'm sorry - I don't know how you can fix it bish/bash/bosh :)
[15:16] <hvgotcodes> Oasa, I am asking what is the name of the plugin for vi that shows the fs tree so you can select files to open while working in vi
[15:16] <farhad> r3d2_,  do u know a gui?
[15:16] <r3d2_> As long as you can get the the drives, it's not a high priority - sorry I couldn't help more
[15:16] <ubunteezj> hi, i have a question.. i don't know how to create a windows 7 usb from ubuntu with the iso.. is there a way?
[15:16] <r3d2_> Sorry, no,
[15:17] <ubunteezj> i cant extract the iso, the format doesnt seem to be supported in ubuntu
[15:17] <r3d2_> I can help you connect to drives, but fstab should be the way to get access
[15:18] <Oasa> hvgotcodes  : are you talking about VI improved ?
[15:18] <Oasa> !vim
[15:18] <hvgotcodes> Oasa, no
[15:18] <hvgotcodes> sigh ill try google ;)
[15:19] <andi_> google is love
[15:19] <poseidon> hvgotcodes, have you tried #vim?
[15:19] <Oasa> hvgotcodes: I am sorry.....
[15:19] <ubunteezj> google doesnt love me then :S
[15:19] <dahlerus> hvgotcodes: :e . doesn't work?

[15:22] <sunil> hai any one can help me
[15:22] <r3d2_> I made my wife use linux for a month. She didn't like it for good reasons:
[15:22] <r3d2_> FarmTown wouldn't play properly (advanced flash in firefox)
[15:22] <ubunteezj> i cant figure this out
[15:22] <Oasa> r3d2 : why?
[15:22] <r3d2_> mirc wasn't as nice (because xchat isn't)
[15:22] <Oasa> r3d2_ : okay ... lol
[15:23] <r3d2_> And she just didn't like it.
[15:23] <Oasa> r3d2: are you a linux professional?
[15:23] <rsk> ofcourse she wont like it r3d2_ if you make her use it
[15:23] <hvgotcodes> dahlerus, is that a dot e space period?
[15:23] <Oasa> ALL : Can any one teach me/show me/guide me about advanced programming.
[15:23] <rsk> r3d2_, the mindset if you _want_ to try it is another thing
[15:23] <hvgotcodes> i mean colon e
[15:23] <Oasa> yes hvgtcodes
[15:23] <hvgotcodes> does nothing for me
[15:24] <r3d2_> No, I'm not a linux professional, I just MAKE HER HURT ;)
[15:24] <rsk> Oasa, define advanced programming
[15:24] <sunil> is any one there to help me
[15:24] <r3d2_> Tsk.. I like linux, it just wouldn't play ball for her, fair enough.
[15:24] <dahlerus> hvgotcodes: you press ESC, then colon e space .
[15:24] <refreshFSN> hello #ubuntu. anyone uses amarok 2.2 and some kind of 'noyplaying' script in irssi or similar?
[15:24] <hvgotcodes> Oasa, ah i think thats it.  now i just need to get it to be on the left
[15:24] <hvgotcodes> and always there
[15:24] <r3d2_> RhythmBox.
[15:24] <Oasa> hvgtcodes: so you got it.
[15:24] <dahlerus> hvgotcodes: or instead of the dot, you can use the name of a directory you want to browse
[15:25] <Oasa> rsk : i dont know . I know something anything after that it is all advanced for me.
[15:25] <r3d2_> RhythmBox is the ONLY piece of software than can handle 400GB of mp3s in various formats over a network.
[15:25] <pilif12p> Oasa: I came for help...
[15:25] <hvgotcodes> Oasa, almost, i saw someone who had it available permanently
[15:25] <rsk> Oasa, i can't understand your sentance
[15:25] <r3d2_> I've tried stacks of things
[15:25] <rsk> sorry
[15:25] <r3d2_> WinAMP dies.
[15:25] <refreshFSN> r3d2_: so you dont use amarok. ok
[15:25] <r3d2_> SongBird dies.
[15:26] <r3d2_> Amarok dies.
[15:26] <hvgotcodes> dahlerus, yes
[15:26] <Oasa> hvgotcodes: So that is actually you are talking about but you want it to be permanent eh?
[15:26] <sunil> my ubuntu is not working properly
[15:26] <Oasa> hvgtcodes : rather than man try vi : help and see if it helps
[15:26] <Oasa> what wrong sunil?
[15:26] <ubunteezj> hi, i have a question.. i don't know how to create a windows 7 usb from ubuntu with the iso.. is there a way?
[15:26] <hvgotcodes> Oasa, yes, the screen is split, and on the left is that selector, and on the right is the buffer you are editing
[15:26] <r3d2_> RhythmBox is the only thing I know that can handle a large stack of mp3s, over a network, with some (likely) corrupt id3 tags
[15:27]  * Pelo would like to take a minute to wish his sister-in-law a happy birthday
[15:27] <sunil> in my computer there are many 9.04 versons how to remove all those and re-install again

[15:28] <jmyers> Anyone aware of an alternative to iTunes for the ipod touch yet?

[15:28] <Oasa> hvgotcodes: YOu got it?

[15:29] <Oasa> hvgotcodes: try :help in vi its more useful than man.
[15:29] <joshyfluff> Has anyone managed to get a wacom bamboo tablet working in 9.10?
[15:29] <luizbag> sunil, check the synaptic for the linux kernels version you have installed
[15:29] <jmyers> r3d2_: I had the ipod touch before I had Ubuntu. hehe
[15:30] <Oasa> rsk: I want a human. I mean i have been doing that.

[15:30] <ubunteezj> hi, i have a question.. i don't know how to create a windows 7 usb from ubuntu with the iso.. is there a way?
[15:30] <Frx> is there some tool to check for the best sources in terms of speed and latency ?
[15:30] <BluesKaj> Merry Christamas To All ! :>)
[15:30] <BluesKaj> oops
[15:30] <rsk> Oasa, i guess you can hire a teacher of some sorts
[15:30] <Frx> using one atm just because it has low latency , but seems to have very poor speeds
[15:30] <Frx> any suggestions ?
[15:30] <vic> Merry xmas
[15:30] <Oasa> rsk: lol
[15:30] <Pranav> Why cant I do "man 2 open" ?
[15:30] <Pelo> sunil, just do a clean install of ubuntu
[15:30] <Frx> should i go testing them one by one manually ?
[15:31] <r3d2_> jmyers - they're sweet devices, don't get me wrong, they're just wrapped in DRM, and I don't want it. I've got a 4GB Samsung mp3 player, and it's like 2mm thick, and sweet as hell
[15:31] <joshyfluff> Meh

[15:32] <Oasa> r3d2_: is that t o me?
[15:32] <rsk> it's not possible
[15:32] <ubunteezj> ppl in #windows cant help me with that
[15:32] <Pelo> sunil, first backup your important data to a dvd or a cd or something,  then put in the ubuntu install cd and reboot, follow the instrucitons to install
[15:32] <r3d2_> I have a donkey, I'd like to make it into a bootable high-rise building..
[15:32] <Oasa> ubunteezj :its not possible as far as i can say.
[15:32] <ubunteezj> whattt

[15:32] <Oasa> sunil : what actually is your problem
[15:33] <rsk> yes really
[15:33] <r3d2_> Really, really.
[15:33] <ubunteezj> wow being a tech with linux sucks
[15:33] <Oasa> ubunteezj: Windows 7 cant be run from usb like other os (chrome)
[15:33] <trap2> Please, someone help me, I need to know help on system calls. I started with "man 2 open" but it says undocumented
[15:33] <ubunteezj> a tech is all about installing windows
[15:33] <rsk> ubunteezj, you can't do it in windows either
[15:33] <rsk> ubunteezj, why blaim that on linux?
[15:33] <ubunteezj> rsk yes i can
[15:33] <rsk> right then do that
[15:34] <ubunteezj> rsk microsoft even released a too to do it.
[15:34] <r3d2_> I love fixing my parents windows pcs. It's awesome.
[15:34] <joshyfluff> Go on then, pics or GTFO :D#
[15:34] <rsk> right then do that
[15:34] <ubunteezj> i dont have a pc with windows
[15:34] <sunil> if i do in that manner is it required to re-install xp and ubuntu once again
[15:34] <rsk> yea thoose are hard to find...
[15:34] <Oasa> r3d2 : lol
[15:34] <rsk> :)
[15:34] <ubunteezj> im counting on linux to help me with that
[15:34] <r3d2_> I do insist on remote adminsistration though.
[15:34] <trap2> Although "man 2 intro" works, how can I find help on specific kind of system call

[15:34] <Oasa> sunil : You dont have to. Just Put your bootable Ubuntu and go for live session
[15:35] <Oasa> then diskpart and format your old ubuntu and reinstall it
[15:35] <ubunteezj> lol no wonder linux isnt as popular, support sucks!
[15:35] <tolpico> ubunteezj, you dont pay, so its not support
[15:36] <anonbadger> don't feed the inept computer user
[15:36] <Oasa> ubunteezj: You can create a bootable usb from which you can install 7. but i dont know if you can create a running windows 7
[15:36] <Sahkolihaa> Windows 7 on a USB? Yeouch on performance right there.
[15:36] <sunil> can you suggest how to master linux perfectly
[15:36] <adalal> ubunteezj: you have support for linux os like suse
[15:36] <r3d2_> That would hurt.
[15:36]  * captivus yawns at the troll's meagre attempts
[15:36] <ubunteezj> Oasa, how can u create a usb key from the iso in ubuntu? the format cant be read
[15:36] <r3d2_> I know how to master linux.

[15:36] <bastidrazor> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/download_main.html  sunil
[15:37] <adalal> ubunteezj: which is why you pay for those
[15:37] <Oasa> ubunteezj: Can you explain what actually you want to do.
[15:37] <r3d2_> I've been working on it for the last 10 years, I happen to use it day-in, day-out - I find it helps a lot.
[15:37] <farhad> can anybody help me with automount?
[15:37] <adalal> farhad: what's the problem?
[15:37] <Oasa> sunil : READ READ READ TRY TRY TRY thats the solution.
[15:37] <ubunteezj> i want to create a Bootable Windows 7 installation on the USB key so i can install it on another PC.
[15:37] <joshyfluff> I've been on it for 2 years ; ;
[15:37] <ubunteezj> i have the iso file and the empty usb key
[15:37] <r3d2_> SPOT ON:  READ READ READ TRY TRY TRY thats the solution.
[15:38] <farhad> adalal,  i resolved. automount does not parse /etc/auto.* files if they are +x
[15:38] <r3d2_> linux is NOT as easy as Windows - sometimes it WON'T play ball, but you can always MAKE it.
[15:38] <anonbadger> I have an HP dv6 and installed ubuntu on it. I get no sound The forum mentions disabling modem drivers. How do I do that?
[15:38] <adalal> ubunteezj: sound a bit absurd, because you need licensing and all... but here u go http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-install-windows-7vista-from-usb-drive-detailed-100-working-guide/
[15:38] <joshyfluff> Oh, question: In order to do something, I need to add lines to my Xorg.conf. However, 9.10 seems to have an empty Xorg.conf, and if I add anything to it, it screws everything up. What do I do now?
[15:38] <Oasa> ubuntueezj: and
[15:39] <ubunteezj> lol adalal, im using ubuntu
[15:39] <ubunteezj> i need a ubuntu guide
[15:39] <r3d2_>  READ READ READ TRY TRY TRY thats the solution. =D
[15:39] <Sahkolihaa> ubunteezj: How is Ubuntu going to know how to install Windows to a USB drive?
[15:39] <r3d2_> I'm just gonna keep that in the copy line :)
[15:39] <ubunteezj> LOL
[15:39] <ubunteezj> not INSTALL
[15:39] <ubunteezj> copy
[15:39] <ubunteezj> copy the iso file to the usb drive so i cant become bootable like a cd
[15:39] <joshyfluff> I have read read read and tried tried tried but to no avail ; ;
[15:39] <ubunteezj> *it can
[15:40] <r3d2_> In order to do WHAT you need to mod yor xorg.conf?
[15:40] <anonbadger> right make the usb drive the installer
[15:40] <Sahkolihaa> You can't copy the iso directly - you'd have to extract it's contents to the USB drive.
[15:40] <joshyfluff> r3d2_, In order to use trhis wacom bamboo tablet
[15:40] <adalal> ubunteezj: how about just copy and pasting every file? tried that?
[15:40] <r3d2_> joshyfluff - so mod away - what happens?
[15:40] <ubunteezj> adalal i can't the iso file is another format
[15:40] <ubunteezj> ubuntu cant extract it
[15:41] <Sahkolihaa> ubunteezj: Get your DVD and extract it directly from the disc?
[15:41] <adalal> ubunteezj: what format is it?
[15:41] <Sahkolihaa> copy, rather.
[15:41] <ubunteezj> lol my computer doesnt have a dvd drive
[15:41] <joshyfluff> r3d2_, well, The GUI goes out when I go to log in, instead of having the shiny blippy thing and the login screen I get a terminal, and no way of getting onto the f7 bit ; ;
[15:42] <r3d2_> joshy, tried ctrl+alt+f7 to get back to your main tty?
[15:42] <anonbadger> I have an HP dv6 and installed ubuntu on it. I get no sound The forum mentions disabling modem drivers. How do I do that?

[15:43] <joshyfluff> r3d2_, it also says that people who have no xorg.conf should have it work flawlessly, which mine doesn't.
[15:43] <r3d2_> hmmm... you prolly need some nice xorg parameters...
[15:43] <r3d2_> I used to have to tell x NOT to grab new devices when I was using a xbox 360 controller....

[15:46] <adalal> You too chuckf
[15:46] <Oasa> sunil : Synaptic is package manager like ADD/REmove programs of windows

[15:46] <unop> !apt | sunil
[15:46] <bastidrazor> !synaptic | sunil ..check this guide
[15:46] <r3d2_> joshy - linux used to grab the mouse cursor when you'd put in a xbox controller, so that's all I can help with (stopping it grabbing) - no worries :)
[15:46] <adalal> sunil: all the programs in the added repositories will be there
[15:47] <adalal> sunil: you can ADD (literally unlike windows) or remove programs
[15:47] <Oasa> sunil: THe best thing about synaptic it contains many package names even those which arent installed are also there so that you can ADD programs..
[15:47] <joshyfluff> r3d2_,  I need it to grab the cursor, it controls the mouse D:

[15:55]  * joshyfluff promises ":l"
[15:56] <Numerati> I'm going to accept that

[15:56] <Oasa> okay adalal.
[15:57] <vadi01> please tell me how to load the monitors located on the left of this screenshot. http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/89831-1.jpg
[15:57] <vadi01> whats the name of the program

[15:58] <rdeshpande> yo dudes
[15:58] <m0rph1as> lol win 7.  the only thing its good for is gaming :/
[15:59] <vadi01> adalal, can you help me?
[15:59] <Andre> m0rph1as: do you use photoshop and autocad in linux?
[15:59] <vadi01> with my issue above
[15:59] <rdeshpande> i have sun-java6-jre installed, and i have the alternatives set up, but for some reason everytime i try to install solr it tries to install gcj. any ideas?
[15:59] <Andre> m0rph1as: or catwalk, protools?
[15:59] <adalal> vadi01: let me read
[15:59] <m0rph1as> andre, I have used photoshop cs3 once in linux yes...
[16:00] <m0rph1as> but not hardcore... i mainly stick with GIMP as much as possible
[16:00] <Andre> m0rph1as: was it wine or emulated?
[16:00] <bastidrazor> vadi01: it looks like some form of conky, but i'm not sure
[16:00] <Oasa> adalal : if my IRDA is working fine..... I would like to make myself a remote can you help me on that?
[16:00] <vadi01> bastidrazor, k thanks
[16:00] <adalal> vadi01: what do you mean? physical monitors? or virtual desktops?
[16:00] <m0rph1as> WINE... but it was a pain, needs a combination of dll files.
[16:00] <Andre> m0rph1as: i take it everything functioned as well as running it natively in windows then
[16:00] <adalal> Oasa: i can give you limited support on that, but sure
[16:01] <m0rph1as> for the most part yes.  im just not much of a graphics designer though, did it for testing.
[16:01] <vadi01> adalal: physical monitors
[16:01] <petsounds> vadi01, that's just screenlets
[16:01] <Supersaiyan_IV> Where did "compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported" disappear in 9.10 ?
[16:02] <vadi01> petsounds, thanks!
[16:02] <Oasa> okay adalal can i have your email id.
[16:02] <r3d2_> I'm not much of a graphic designer, but I set graphic design problems for my students. And sometimes they rock it.
[16:04] <r3d2_> Supersaiyan_IV, are you unhappy with compiz in 9.10?
[16:04] <Supersaiyan_IV> r3d2_, no I am asking a question
[16:05] <r3d2_> As was I - no worries :)
[16:05] <adalal> vadi01: i dont exactly understand what the problem is
[16:06] <vadi01> adalal, its ok i sorted it
[16:06] <Supersaiyan_IV> r3d2_, i know the "compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported" is in the ppa, but there is no reason stated as to why it isn't in the repositories
[16:06] <adalal> vadi01: cool, what theme is that anyways?
[16:06] <r3d2_> compiz has been very well behaved in 9.10 in my experience. It WILL fall over, given time, and throw all your windows to a single window, but that's not the end of the world.
[16:07] <Daughain> And again.....
[16:07] <r3d2_> I set things back to metacity before I use a lot of Open Office because I've found that trips it up
[16:08] <r3d2_> but apart from that, compiz is minty goodness.
[16:08] <ubunteez> thts what she said
[16:08] <r3d2_> hehe
[16:08] <DNS777> happy holidays @ all
[16:08] <ubunteez> so now i copied the iso file to the usb key
[16:09] <ubunteez> but now its not bootable
[16:09] <r3d2_> If your bios will boot from USB
[16:09] <r3d2_> Also, NO.
[16:10] <ubunteez> my bios will boot from it but i copied windows 7 iso to the usb directly
[16:10] <r3d2_> You can't just chuck an ISO on a USB stick. You'd need to extract the contents of the iso, at minimum.
[16:10] <ubunteez> i didnt copy the iso i extracted it to the usb
[16:10] <r3d2_> Ah, more like it :)
[16:10] <ubunteez> but its not bootable... does ubuntu have an app to make it bootable for the windows install?
[16:11] <petsounds> please use usb startup disk creator or unetbootin
[16:11] <vadi01> adalal, http://www.techiesouls.com/2008/11/27/collection-of-50-best-looking-linux-gnomeubuntu-themes-to-download/
[16:11] <adalal> ubunteez: as far as i'm aware, that's gonna b difficult, cuz of the way windows structures the install
[16:11] <adwyn> hello, and Happy Christmas everyone. Anyone know what "Bios bootup message" in Xorg.0.log refers to?
[16:11] <adalal> vadi01: thanks
[16:11] <r3d2_> It means that you've been very naughty this year, adalal ;)
[16:11] <adalal> ubunteez: it helps them reduce fraud
[16:11] <adalal> r3d2_: how's that?
[16:12] <ubunteez> so i cant make the windows 7 usb key bootable from ubuntu?
[16:12] <adalal> r3d2_: and you know nothin of me hehehe
[16:12] <ubunteez> adalal, he checked your porn
[16:12] <adalal> ubunteez: would be one hell of a task, ur better off buying a usb cd drive
[16:12] <r3d2_> adalal - just a joke.
[16:12] <adalal> ubunteez: sigh, if only i did, having a gf helps u know :P
[16:12] <adalal> dw
[16:13] <Daughain> anyone know where in mozilla I can find the bookmarks file?
[16:13] <adalal> Daughain: u mean firefox?
[16:13] <anonbadger> yeah a $20 usb cd drive is a work around
[16:13] <adalal> Daughain: it stores it as a database, under .mozilla/firefox/ ... well, that's for firefox
[16:14] <r3d2_> Daughain - just export 'em as .json
[16:14] <Daughain> Ya, that much Iknow, which file is it? =)
[16:14] <r3d2_> ~/.mozilla/firefox
[16:14] <poseidon> thinking of getting one of these http://tinyurl.com/ygdtrs2
[16:15] <poseidon> any opinions?
[16:15] <adalal> Daughain: if you want backups, firefox creates them under .mozilla/firefox/<profile>/bookmarkbackups/
[16:15] <r3d2_> Yes - don't.
[16:15] <r3d2_> URL shorteners are the beginning of the end.
[16:15] <ubunteez> damn this sucks
[16:15] <r3d2_> As soon as your URL shortener of choices dies - all your links die.
[16:15] <adalal> lol they are, why bother with them? unless you're tryin to really hide something
[16:16] <adalal> ubunteez: look up if they have usb image torrents of win 7 im sure people have it out there
[16:16] <r3d2_> It's BITROT - don't do it.
[16:16] <Snausages> r3d2_: for fun I was working on a script that would put an url through a chain of those, just to see how many redirects was enough
[16:16] <ubunteez> adalal, what if i install windows 7 on a virtual box and create the usb key fro mthere?
[16:16] <r3d2_> lol Snausages
[16:16] <r3d2_> How far did it go?
[16:16] <Snausages> r3d2_: different browsers did it different ways...  firefox would hold it through 8 or 9
[16:17] <ubunteez> are the usb keys on a virtual box read the same way?
[16:17] <adalal> ubunteez: not a bad plan at all, but best of luck spending the next 2 hours doing that
[16:17] <ubunteez> lol
[16:17] <ubunteez> no choice for the momenty
[16:17] <ubunteez> thanks for the help
[16:17] <adalal> or longer .. much much longer
[16:17] <adalal> yeah
[16:17] <Snausages> r3d2_: plus bonus wear leveling on the urls...  they would run out of short urls at the same rate
[16:17] <r3d2_> Snausages, I applaud your curiosity :) But damn! That would break super-soon :)
[16:18] <Snausages> r3d2_: perfect for the most sensitive information....  makes people get it while it's hot
[16:19] <r3d2_> I don't know enough about url-shortener time-outs... 8 characters is, 8 factorial, so quite a bit
[16:20] <adalal> lol, much more than 8!
[16:20] <r3d2_> I've read a bit about the coming bit-rot apocolypse, and I don't agree,
[16:20] <r3d2_> No, 8!, that's how many digits exist to work with. Math is math.
[16:21] <adalal> well, that's assuming 8! are only numericals..
[16:21] <r3d2_> You have to use the alphabet
[16:21] <adalal> they can be any characters :S
[16:21] <r3d2_> I see what you meant
[16:21] <adalal> ah
[16:22] <r3d2_> Yup - get ya
[16:23] <r3d2_> So, 36 characters (0 to 9, A to Z) - now assume you have 8 characters, from the prev, that would be....
[16:24] <r3d2_> I have no idea, I can only work out percentages for each character
[16:25] <r3d2_> I was never as good at math as I wanted to be, and it'd been 18 years since I practiced.
[16:25] <anonbadger> working out unique combos?
[16:26] <r3d2_> I can break it up, chance by chance simple - I'm no good for anything more than that.
[16:26] <adalal> yup
[16:26] <airstrike> so, for some reason, whenever i set a static ip (instead of dhcp) on my network manager, i get VERY slow DNS lookups. what gives?
[16:26] <adalal> for a 8 character code, it'd b 36^8
[16:27] <r3d2_> airstrike - I changed my DNS the other day by choice.
[16:27] <Joe__> need some help with an upgrade to 9.10  I use mdadm and now two of my arrarys won't activate after the upgrade
[16:27] <Daughain> So much for that......Now on to samba......

[16:39] <Snausages> r3d2_: both of my usb modems worked perfectly on karmic- I was impressed.
[16:39] <anonbadger> yep
[16:39] <AlexIte> usb is harder to set up,at least for me
[16:39] <anonbadger> in Ubuntu
[16:39] <Swag> humm
[16:39] <Swag> well i called up cricket support
[16:39] <adalal> i use my phone as a 3g modem half the time

[16:41] <anonbadger> you will have the wrong DNS IP address in the connection wizard
[16:41] <anonbadger> like I did
[16:41] <anonbadger> maybe
[16:41] <anonbadger> so come back if it doesn't work
[16:41] <AlexIte> Who here used wubi to install ubuntu?
[16:41] <adalal> i used it on my gf's laptop when she wanted to try it out
[16:41] <Daughain> Which is better to deal with an existing windows network; samba or samba4?
[16:41] <Daughain> Whats wubi?
[16:41] <m4rtin> AlexIte: I used it about a year ago when I first tentatively switched to Ubuntu
[16:42] <Andre> Daughain: installs ubuntu from windows
[16:42] <AlexIte> Windows ubuntu isntall basically
[16:42] <adalal> wubi allows u to install ubuntu in windows
[16:42] <r3d2_> I installed from disk. On day 1. Yes, I'm both useless and gay
[16:42] <sixtila> can anyone help me get my sound back - i dunno where to start
[16:42] <r3d2_> Apart from the gay bit.
[16:42] <adalal> and when u start up the computer, it uses the windows start up, and loops into the ubuntu image
[16:42] <sixtila> i m on 64bit
[16:42] <AlexIte> I used ubuntu when i was testing out ubuntu
[16:42] <Daughain> Ah.....Nope, got pissed at windows and wiped the drive.......Never tried that.
[16:42] <r3d2_> 64bit ftw
[16:42] <kasimon> Hi. How can I install ubuntu on an System I have no keyboard for?
[16:43] <r3d2_> I've got 4GB of RAM - unsurprisingly, I'd like to use it.
[16:43] <AlexIte> Go and get a keyboard?
[16:43] <anonbadger> I installed Ubuntu alongside windows and then one day decided to dd the windows partition
[16:43] <adalal> kasimon: get a usb keyboard? put in the alternative install disc, and choose install over ssh?>
[16:43] <AlexIte> I need WINDOWS to run certain things
[16:43] <Daughain> Any advice on samba?
[16:43] <anonbadger> dd if/dev/urandom
[16:43] <adalal> anonbadger: the only reason why i have to keep my win7 partition is cuz i use proprietory software, and they only have windows version of it
[16:43] <adalal> and it doesn't work on wine either...
[16:43] <sixtila> need help to get the sound back,
[16:43] <AlexIte> adalal:same here
[16:43] <r3d2_> I run a VirtualBox copy of XP to run certain things.
[16:44] <adalal> lol, would work as long as the software isn't cpu intensive
[16:44] <kasimon> AlexIte, adalal: I don't want to wait till monday. All shops are closed. I'm thinking about modifying the usb alternate installer to launch an ssh server
[16:44] <jacob_> Yea virtualbox is the way to go as long as its not a big program
[16:44] <anonbadger> I have never played with virtualisation
[16:44] <r3d2_> My virtual box HD has grown to 21GB - and you can't resize it down
[16:44] <AlexIte> the games wont work/would be laggy
[16:45] <r3d2_> Oh well
[16:45] <madagascar27> is there an easy way to delete a partition you made with ubuntu
[16:45] <sixtila> i have no sound, should i install alsa or pulse ?
[16:45] <Daughain> Alsa.
[16:45] <anonbadger> oh man r3d2_ that's shit
[16:45] <adalal> well kasimon, take out the HD... plug it into ur current computer, install it, and move the HD back
[16:45] <AlexIte> LOL right beside be is a ubuntu 9.04 CD
[16:45] <sixtila> madagascar27 use gparted , download it
[16:45] <r3d2_> anonbadger, ORLY? :)
[16:45] <anonbadger> someone help sixtila
[16:45] <jacob_> madagascar27: use gparted or boot from ubuntu disk
[16:46] <anonbadger> It is relevant tomy interests
[16:46] <madagascar27> sixtila what do i do with gparted do i put it on a disk
[16:46] <r3d2_> sixtila, whatever works - I'd go with alsa first
[16:46] <kasimon> adalal: that might be an option. both are sata systems,so it should work
[16:47] <adalal> kasimon: just remember to install a ssh server, and if you're doing that, might as well only install the barebone version
[16:47] <AlexIte> The first time I used ubuntu,I gave up because i couldn't get the internet to work =(
[16:47] <airstrike> madagascar27: you can just run gparted from a live cd, it's probably your best bet (if you can't run it within the actual OS, that is)
[16:47] <r3d2_> anonbadger, here's some music: http://r3dux.org/2009/10/phoenix-rome/
[16:47] <adalal> AlexIte: that's the reason i stuck to it, and solved it :
[16:47] <adalal> :P
[16:47] <Daughain> Can anyone tel me simply what the difference tween samba and samba4 is?
[16:47] <kasimon> adalal: the system is supposed to run as a headless vdr system, so I'll use alternate install anyways
[16:47] <airstrike> madagascar27: you could also try one of those very small linux distros that can fit on an usb stick and run gparted from it
[16:48] <r3d2_> Addict till it fall fall falls.....
[16:48] <AlexIte> There are some Linux Distros that work on a floppy disk
[16:48] <anonbadger> r3d2_: I have no sound
[16:48] <r3d2_> Not anymore there aren't.
[16:48] <anonbadger> I think I might need to disable my modem driver
[16:48] <adalal> well, the bareback version of ubuntu is only 12mb ...
[16:48] <airstrike> usb stick > floppy
[16:48] <adalal> that'd go well on a floppy
[16:48] <Daughain> anonbadger, Try alsa.
[16:48] <kasimon> adalal: It's the first system I've encountered that doesn't have an ps2 keyboard connector
[16:48] <AlexIte> I dont have anymore floppies
[16:48] <sixtila> anyone having problem with software enter in 64bit??
[16:49] <ManDay> AUTOMOUNT!
[16:49] <r3d2_> F*ck floppys - are you kidding? What you you want to do with a floppy disk?
[16:49] <airstrike> sixtila: is 'enter' the name of the software?
[16:49] <sixtila> AlexIte I just installed ubuntu from flash drive!
[16:49] <anonbadger> Daughain: I have tried alsa
[16:49] <adalal> kasimon: most new systems dont ahve it anymore, they all start using usb only
[16:49] <ManDay> Why does it not work?
[16:49] <sixtila> haha, its center
[16:49] <ManDay> Whenever I plug in a USB stick or SD card, NOTHING happens...
[16:49] <Daughain> sixtila, make sure your net connection is working, and update your sources.
[16:49] <myk_robinson> Hey. If i use Firestarter to share an internet connection to my Xbox 360, will i need a crossover cable, or just a standard ethernet cable between the ubuntu PC and the xbox?
[16:49] <AlexIte> I am paranoid about adding important information on usbs
[16:49] <sixtila> Daughain i will update and see what happens
[16:50] <Joe__> ok, I'm running out of ideas... for some reason after upgrading to 9.10 ubuntu won't mount my mdadm made arrays.  It appears /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdc1 are not mounted at all (those are two drives in one of the arrays)
[16:50] <adalal> myk_robinson: normally a crossover, but most newer ethernet ports have detectors that switch over automatically
[16:50] <r3d2_> myk - you can share through youre router
[16:50] <Daughain> anonbadger, I dunno, then.....With 9.04 I had to tinkwer with alsa to get my sound working. 9.10 I didnt have that issue.
[16:50] <anonbadger> yeah i have 9.04 on three machines
[16:50] <AlexIte> 8.10 my sound wouldn't work I had to do something,i cant remember right now
[16:50] <anonbadger> this is the first to have the issue
[16:51] <myk_robinson> r3d2_: my router is not close enough without having a very long cable. Just being cheap and not buying a 360 wireless adatper. I have a PC attached to the tv for media

[16:51] <Daughain> anonbadger, All I can say is tinker with alsa. Thats how I got mine working.
[16:51] <adalal> yes irwan
[16:51] <r3d2_> I think I'm the only drunk with Cisco Certification here - you can share it through your router, if you have access.

[16:53] <Daughain> r2d2; ok, so, which is better for an exosting windows network; samba or samba4?
[16:53] <karp_> anyone got problems on 9.10 with  VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] and quakelive / cedega gaming? i can play for a couple of minutes before my games start to run slow and theres a weird noise coming from the hdd
[16:53] <r3d2_> myk - you'd need ethernet to your 360, the wireless 360 kit is rip off - it's stupid expensive
[16:53] <Daughain> r3d2_; ok, so, which is better for an exosting windows network; samba or samba4?
[16:53] <r3d2_> Best to wire it via cat5
[16:54] <r3d2_> I have no idea - I've only used samba and cifs - both work fine to stream music and films
[16:54] <adalal> samba4 is a version of samba
[16:54] <adalal> and installing samba should install samba4
[16:54] <mobi-sheep> Daughain: Any sentences with "Windows" in it is a failed sentence. I'd guess Samba instead man page say Samba4 is intended for *nixes.  is
[16:54] <r3d2_> I've not used samba4
[16:54] <JoeSomebody> MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE may you have Peace, Love and Lots Of Money this New Year :)
[16:54] <ManDay> Whenever I plug in a USB stick or SD card, NOTHING happens... Please help with that AUTOmount
[16:55] <Bac9> how can I open a msft powerpoint presentation in ooimpress without having it autostart and grab keyboard/mouse?
[16:55] <Daughain> mobi; cant help it, girl wont switch. Thanks, though.
[16:55] <adalal> ManDay: does it show up on sudo fdisk -l?
[16:55] <nlko> does ubuntu support marvel yukon wireless cards out of the box? debian doesnt seem to
[16:55] <Daughain> adalal, Instaling samba doesnt install samba4, thats why I was asking about it.
[16:55] <r3d2_> How can you wangle a dongle with a wangle and not a dogle but only using a 32 bit wangle and not smoking too much crack?
[16:55] <mobi-sheep> !hardware | nlko
[16:55] <bastidrazor> !hardware | nlko
[16:56] <kasimon> adalal: thanks for your ideas
[16:56] <ManDay> adalal, no but it shows up in /dev
[16:56] <mobi-sheep> bastidrazor: Jinx. ;)
[16:56] <adalal> Daughain: just install samba, it works quite well
[16:56] <totam> hello everybody
[16:56] <totam> how can we know the admin of a channel in irc
[16:56] <totam>
[16:56] <doug__> hello, I have an atheros wireless card and i can't see my network.  I see other networks just not mine.  It works on my ps3 and my windows machine.  when i go to hardware drivers there aren't any proprietary drivers there, and all the google searches i've done have mentioned those, how can i get those?
[16:56] <bastidrazor> mobi-sheep: great minds think alike
[16:56] <adalal> totam: why theinterest?
[16:57] <adalal> doug__: does it show up using sudo iwlist <interface> scanning?
[16:57] <totam> @adalal, because it s important
[16:57] <totam> if we want to demand something
[16:57] <totam> we demand to the admin
[16:57] <doug__> it doesn't look l;ike it..
[16:57] <r3d2_> I have a atheros wireless card. THIS is your key. google atheros wireless card driver. Google atheros wireless driver undeground while I'm being a neusance to sheep.
[16:57] <mobi-sheep> totam: Look at User List. Ops are usually on top and have special character/icon in front of their nicknames.
[16:58] <adalal> like floodbot has op privs
[16:59] <totam> mobi-sheep: thx, but, it s one, or can be more than wan admin & op
[16:59] <r3d2_> I have a common make of wireless network card, but for the life of me I can't be bothered to look up any problems I have!
[16:59] <r3d2_> Sheesh!
[16:59] <jessica_> hi, my laptop has an ATI RS690M video card, which is i guess a Radeon X1200.  but the restricted drivers manager doesn't show fglrx as an option.
[16:59] <anonbadger> I can only choose pulse null output in sound preferences. Ghey.
[16:59] <doug__> I have looked them up, and i am only finding windows drivers
[16:59] <jessica_> does it make sense that i force-install fglrx?
[16:59] <bastidrazor> jessica_: which version of ubuntu?
[16:59] <adalal> jessica_: does it show any thing else?
[16:59] <totam> mobi-sheep: for exemple in this room, who is the admin
[16:59] <jessica_> bastidrazor, latest, 64 bit too
[16:59] <jessica_> 9.10 i think?
[16:59] <jessica_> just installed this morning.
[16:59] <r3d2_> I would like you to help me with my common brand of wireless card, which might or might not work with ubuntu. Not that I care.
[17:00] <anonbadger> jessica run uname -a
[17:00] <Daughain> ANd now to see if I remembered this right... =)
[17:00] <bastidrazor> jessica_: it should be installed without any user interaction. i have the same card and all works fine without any doing on my part
[17:00] <ManDay> adalal, no but it shows up in /dev
[17:00] <adalal> totam: no admins present in this room right now... from the looks of it

[17:00] <jessica_> adalal, i'm just looking at the xorg log and it says --) PCI:*(0:1:5:0) 1002:791f:1028:01fc ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] rev 0, Mem @ 0xe0000000/268435456, 0xfe9f0000/65536, 0xfea00000/1048576, I/O @ 0x0000ee00/256
[17:00] <nastas> hi all
[17:00] <totam> ok
[17:00] <pompa_> Hi everyone, I updated my Hardy and now I have a tremendous mess, neither internet nor the touchpad works, what can I do?
[17:00] <jessica_> Linux jessica-laptop 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:02:15 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[17:01] <Edico> hi
[17:01] <Edico> how do I remove a user?
[17:01] <karp_> deluser
[17:01] <r3d2_> lol
[17:01] <jessica_> bastidrazor, weird.
[17:01] <adalal> jessica_: as long as u dont mind reinstalling, try fglrx
[17:01] <r3d2_> Oh man, that was fun :)
[17:01] <jessica_> bastidrazor, when i start the restricted drivers manager, it only shows the wireless driver.
[17:01] <Edico> how do I see all the user that are created?
[17:01] <bastidrazor> jessica_: not really. 9.10 was suppose to be the big fix for most ati cards
[17:02] <adalal> ManDay: what does it show up as, sdb or sdc?
[17:02] <Joe__> please a little help, or at least point me where to look... I upgraded to 9.10 and after reboot my mdadm arrays won't assemble, mdadm says device or resource busy
[17:02] <karp_> is there any way to upgrade to 10.04 from repos?
[17:02] <r3d2_> I know that if I ever really do have an issue I can't resolve - I'm F**d - but it was worth it :)
[17:02] <bastidrazor> jessica_: right, you don't have an option for the video card because its already done.
[17:02] <ManDay> adalal, the sdcard as sdb
[17:02] <ManDay> the stick a sdbc
[17:02] <adalal> karp_: it's not out yet
[17:02] <jessica_> bastidrazor, no, glxinfo says no direct rendering.
[17:02] <nastas> pompa_: you updated hardy to which release?
[17:02] <karp_> adalal, i know
[17:02] <pompa_> I whish I know, I just did an apt-get upgrade
[17:03] <adalal> ManDay: create a folder under /media, using 'sudo mkdir /media/sdcard/' .. and then use 'sudo mount /dev/sdb/ /media/dscard/' and see if it works
[17:03] <nastas> run uname -a in a terminal
[17:03] <nastas> pompa_: run uname -a in a terminal
[17:03] <karp_> but in debian you can upgrade to testing unstable what so ever... no possible on ubuntu? only the daily alpha builds available to upgrade from?
[17:03] <ManDay> adalal, it works
[17:03] <adalal> karp_: when it does come out, yes.. u can from the update manager, or via terminal
[17:03] <ManDay> it can be mounted
[17:03] <ManDay> adalal, it just doesnt automout
[17:03] <bastidrazor> jessica_: ah, showing good on my end.
[17:03] <adalal> ohh
[17:03] <r3d2_> I had sex with a Norwegian once.
[17:03] <myk_robinson> adalal: you able to help me with the connection sharing?
[17:03] <jessica_> but the radeon module is in lsmod.
[17:03] <r3d2_> Never again.
[17:03] <jessica_> this is really strange.
[17:03] <Daughain> Well, it seems something stuck in the brain.

[17:03] <r3d2_> Too north.
[17:04] <morissette> anyone will to assist me w/ using gparted lol
[17:04] <adalal> myk_robinson: im not the right person for connection sharing :P, although if ur using firestarter, shouldn't b too hard
[17:04] <pompa_> 2.6.24-25 generic
[17:04] <pompa_> nastas: 2.6.24-25 generic
[17:04] <r3d2_> Mrs Robinson - you sound like the perfect person to share an IP
[17:04] <nastas> ok  pompa_
[17:04] <sixtila> update fixed the sound output and the software center
[17:05] <myk_robinson> adalal: I had it working with Firestarter on my old PC. I have replaced it with a better one, and am having trouble
[17:05] <adalal> are we allowed to put up our own bots up here?
[17:05] <myk_robinson> r3d2_: I am a man, thank you
[17:05] <bastidrazor> adalal: no.
[17:05] <sixtila> but input from mic seems to be dead! has anyone solved it?
[17:05] <adalal> damn
[17:05] <ManDay> adalal, please highlight me when you refer to me
[17:05] <r3d2_> Don't go to Finland. No, really.
[17:05] <adalal> myk_robinson: unless the interface name and all are wrong, dont see why not..
[17:05] <bastidrazor> r3d2_: please stay on topic.
[17:05] <ManDay> r3d2_, are you annoying?
[17:06] <myk_robinson> adalal: I am trying setting manual DNS now, i have the IP set manually.. lets hope for the best
[17:06] <adalal> ManDay: i do... like i said, you'll have to edit the gconf probably, or fstab
[17:06] <pompa_> nastas: oh, if you say so, it doesnt seem so ok for me, but anyway
[17:06] <Daughain> sixtila, Cant help with the mic, I never bothered. woring on getting a BT headset configured, eventualyt.
[17:06] <adalal> myk_robinson: can't you route it through the router?
[17:06] <ManDay> adalal, fstab, hmmm does fstab really have anything to do with automount plugnplay???
[17:06] <r3d2_> input - okay, make sure you have alsamixer running
[17:06] <morissette> I am attempting to create a new partition; hwoever am kinda lost any help would be appreciated
[17:06] <sixtila> np Daughain atleast output works!
[17:06] <adalal> ManDay: well, i know it can help with a cd/dvd drive...
[17:07] <adalal> not too sure though
[17:07] <syk> !partition
[17:07] <pompa_> nastas: jokes apart, is there a method to restore the drivers for the wifi card and touchpad?
[17:07] <morissette> syk: ? no partition?
[17:07] <adalal> ManDay: try editing your gconf, there're automount options there

[17:07] <myk_robinson> adalal: got it, just needed to set the DNS
[17:07] <Bias112> I just intalled Mythbuntu
[17:07] <nastas> pompa_: run iwconfig in a terminal
[17:07] <adalal> myk_robinson: good goin :)
[17:07] <adalal> Bias112: good job!
[17:07] <Bias112> it went to 100% testing hardware and so
[17:08] <Bias112> just when it went to 100% the computer restarted
[17:08] <velcroshooz> is there a way to move the osd notifier in 9.10? its like halfway down my desktop
[17:08] <pompa_> nastas: it gives no wireless extensions
[17:08] <karp_> adalal, are you really sure i can upgrade to lucid? there is a repo here .. http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/
[17:08] <ddelony> necrose: Have you tried using the alternate CD?
[17:08] <r3d2_> PulseAudio is a REALLY GOOD idea, and the implementation is now, QUITE GOOD, but still it's only KINDA GOOD.
[17:08] <Bias112> and then ofc I got 2 boot options, Xp or Mythbuntu
[17:08] <nastas> pompa_: how many interfaces>
[17:08] <nastas> ?
[17:08] <adriano> hello
[17:08] <adalal> karp_: try sudo apt-get upgrade -d
[17:08] <neezer> is there a way I can make it so my cpu will ony go to say 80% or so?
[17:09] <Bias112> but in grub there was only xp, 2 strange nt 2000 and one vista loader
[17:09] <r3d2_> Pompa - all of the interfaces.
[17:09] <BinaryMan> if only vmware worked without skippy audio
[17:09] <adalal> karp_: isn't it on alpha still?
[17:09] <Bias112> and I couldnt enter anyone of them... im wondering how I can boot into mythbuntu
[17:09] <karp_> adalal, yeah it is
[17:09] <morissette> Bias112: did you check menu.lst?
[17:09] <pompa_> nastas: two, or better, the Io, and the eth0
[17:09] <adriano> someone talk portuguese???
[17:09] <petsounds> isolat3dsh33p, where are you come from?
[17:09] <adriano> portugal
[17:09] <Bias112> menu.1st in mythbuntu folder
[17:09] <Bias112> btw I installed from wubi
[17:09] <nastas> pompa_: eth0 is your wired network card i suppose
[17:10] <madruga> -br
[17:10] <morissette> Bias112: I believe by default is at /boot/grub
[17:10] <r3d2_> What time is it?
[17:10] <isolat3dsh33p> petsounds: malaysia, why?
[17:10] <fahadsadah> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntu-pt
[17:10] <adalal> r3d2_: where are you?
[17:10] <adriano> alguem fala portugues??
[17:10] <syk> !portuguese
[17:10] <Bias112> morissette grub folder is empty
[17:10] <Bias112> and I can see hidden files with xp
[17:10] <nastas> pompa_: try ifconfig
[17:10] <pompa_> nastas: Yes, I think is like that, and the missing eth1 the wirless one
[17:10] <meero> mneptok: and what about ubuntu-remix compared to xubuntu
[17:10] <morissette> Bias112 `locate menu.lst`
[17:10] <petsounds> isolat3dsh33p, oh ok. just asking
[17:10] <adriano> obrigado......
[17:10] <Bias112> moris im in xp now
[17:11] <r3d2_> adalal, I'm not far from Melbourne.
[17:11] <pompa_> nastas: exactly as we were saying
[17:11] <isolat3dsh33p> ubuntu-id
[17:11] <r3d2_> So I guess that'll make it 4am ish
[17:11] <adalal> ah, well, r3d2_ it's 4:11 am there
[17:11] <adalal> :P
[17:11] <nastas> pompa_: you mean just 2 interfaces?
[17:11] <pompa_> nastas: yes
[17:11] <isolat3dsh33p> oh yeah, mery xmas everyone
[17:11] <morissette> Bias112: So you are locked out of Mythbuntu? Try installing FS-Drive
[17:12] <adalal> merry christmas ...
[17:12] <Bias112> morissette what do if there is no files in \grub?
[17:12] <r3d2_> I haven't had a single present today.
[17:12] <adalal> Bias112: install grub
[17:12] <pompa_> nastas: I suppose that upgrading I lost all of the drivers or something like that for many things
[17:12] <petsounds> isolat3dsh33p, #ubuntu-id is no longer maintained.
[17:12] <Bias112> maybe it is just easier to unintall wubi and do it again?
[17:12] <adalal> r3d2_: neither have i :P... everyone's gone home for holidays
[17:12] <isolat3dsh33p> petsounds: why?
[17:12] <pompa_> nastas: such as wireless, touchpad, video drivers, and so on
[17:12] <r3d2_> I bought around $600 worth for the wife an the kids.
[17:12] <Bias112> adalal I have grub already, the boot menu showed in bios
[17:12] <morissette> Bias112:  im w/ adalal try installing grub from a live cd
[17:13] <morissette> Bias112: so grub is currently the default bootloader/
[17:13] <Bias112> ok I dont have acces to install from cd right now
[17:13] <nastas> pompa_: do you remember what kind of wifi card you own? is it Atheros?
[17:13] <Bias112> no first ir windows loader
[17:13] <petsounds> isolat3dsh33p, there's no ops and no visitor :(
[17:13] <Bias112> then when I pick Myth grub shows up
[17:13] <morissette> Bias112: are you familiar w/ grub cli?
[17:13] <ddelony> Bias112: You have a USB stick?
[17:13] <pompa_> nastas: but i'm not sure of it as I'm not really able of checking this kind of stuff, especially from the consolle
[17:13] <r3d2_> adalal - I thought I was the only man in the room to get no prizes - merry christmas to ya :)
[17:13] <isolat3dsh33p> petsounds: so, your from indonesia?
[17:13] <airstrike> you're*
[17:13] <Bias112> no ironicaly not, no usb
[17:14] <pompa_> nastas: I'm sorry but I really don't know
[17:14] <adalal> r3d2_: :D
[17:14] <adalal> going out for a smoke
[17:14] <nastas> ok pompa_ give me 1 sec
[17:14] <ddelony> Santa brought me an EEE PC that I'm currently running the Netbook Remix on. :-)
[17:14] <Bias112> but can some1 tell me how the ubuntu\ and the other folders shouls look like when you have done an install?
[17:14] <adriano> somebody knows more channels in portuguese??
[17:14] <Bias112> maybe it just didnt get intsallet.
[17:14] <petsounds> isolat3dsh33p, yes.
[17:14] <morissette> Bias112: file structure is basic unix
[17:14] <adalal> adriano: ask people there.. if there are any :S
[17:14] <syk> adriano, #ubuntu-br
[17:14] <airstrike> adriano #ubuntu-br
[17:14] <r3d2_> I am, at least, increasingly drunk - and I love music, so I've won A prize.
[17:14] <adriano> ok...tks
[17:15] <Bias112> ok im just going for uninstalling
[17:15] <Bias112> the installation is quick anyhow
[17:15] <morissette> Bias112: you just need to reinstall grub loader
[17:15] <isolat3dsh33p> petsounds: that's cool :)
[17:15] <mkquist_> Bias112: why not just try reinstalling grub?
[17:15] <ddelony> I thought I'd give the community a present by donating some of my time here this Christmas.
[17:15] <r3d2_> Who's the boy you like the most? Is he teasin you with underage?
[17:15] <morissette> ddelony: aww

[17:16] <Bias112> beacuse I think the installation got abrubted
[17:16] <isolat3dsh33p> Bias112: you should just install grub. If you have the liveCD
[17:16] <isolat3dsh33p> ddelony: merry x-mas. :)
[17:16] <morissette> ddelony: gparted is just confusting the hell out of me
[17:16] <petsounds> isolat3dsh33p, how's ubuntu LoCo in malaysia?
[17:16] <Bias112> im not a linux pro.. but I think I should get a message saying installation complete before it restarts?
[17:16] <ddelony> morissette: I have manually partitioned a drive, but I don't know if I'm a guru.
[17:16] <adalal> i wanna be the ubuntu loco for notts :P
[17:16] <isolat3dsh33p> petsounds: almost dead, but it's still alive. There's still people there. :)

[17:25]  * airtonix wishes pastebinit was installed by default
[17:26]  * isolat3dsh33p agrees with airtonix
[17:26] <mkquist_> morissette: because you need to unmount a partition to change its size, or work with it in gparted, so  if you only have one, its a no-go without live cd
[17:26] <airtonix> morissette, sudo apt-get install pastebinit && df -h | pastebinit
[17:26] <adalal> what's wrong with fabrice's machine?
[17:26] <morissette> mkquist: so i need to run gparted from livecd to partition
[17:26] <kathy> ive got a epson al-c1000 printer and no idea how to install it with cups? anyone can help?
[17:27] <morissette> mkquist: i work at a linux hosting company maybe there is a livecd laying around
[17:27] <mkquist_> morrigan_: sounds like it, unless youve got a sda2 or sdb something going on too... = )
[17:27] <airtonix> kathy, ubuntu version? (have you started by just plugging the printer in while ubuntu is running?)
[17:27] <pompa_> nastas: http://pastebin.com/d5ca652a5
[17:27] <mkquist_> morissette: last was for you ... oops
[17:27] <mkquist_> morrigan_: sry
[17:27] <nastas> pompa_: ok your card is still ok :)
[17:28] <morissette> mkquist: brb looking for livecd
[17:28] <mkquist_> morissette: k
[17:28] <pompa_> nastas: that's a good news
[17:28] <kathy> 9.10 kernel 2.6.31-16 and yes i plugged the printer and yes ubuntu tried to find a driver but with no success
[17:29] <morissette> mkquist: found a centos 5.3 cd
[17:29] <mori_> mkquist: willing to walk me through this if i get lost
[17:30] <airtonix> kathy, http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-AcuLaser_C1000
[17:30] <kathy> that means not possible?
[17:30] <pompa_> nastas: but I suppose that the hard part comes hereafter
[17:30] <nastas> pompa_: try to load ipw2200 module
[17:30] <nastas> pompa_: sudo modprobe ipw2200
[17:31] <airtonix> kathy, looks like it. hence the term "win-printer"
[17:31] <nastas> pompa_: then lokk the iwconfig again
[17:31] <nastas> pompa_: then look the iwconfig again
[17:31] <morissette> REBOOTING fpr 1st attempt of partition
[17:32] <airtonix> kathy, there is this though (not exactly your printer model though ) http://driverscollection.com/?H=ACULASER%20C3000&By=Epson&SS=Linux
[17:32] <Joe__> can someone PLEASE help me, after upgrading to 9.10 my mdadm raid arrays will not rebuild/mount, I've been at this for hours and have no clue what the problem is at this point
[17:32] <pompa_> nastas: wow, you're absolutely the best
[17:32] <pompa_> nastas: Have back the eth1
[17:32] <airtonix> kathy, also need to make your own investigations as to how to trust that site
[17:33] <kathy> okay i tried the c900 and it didnt work out
[17:33] <nastas> pompa_: now i guess when you reboot the pc you will lost eth1 again
[17:33] <kathy> maybe the c3000
[17:33] <kathy> thanks a lot
[17:33] <pompa_> nastas: that's no good, what should I do?
[17:33] <nastas> pompa_: you have to make it to autoload during boot
[17:33] <airtonix> kathy, doe it only connect via usb? or can it connect via lan cable?
[17:33] <nastas> pompa_: try to reboot first
[17:34] <kathy> atm its connected via usb
[17:34] <nastas> pompa_: if you see that is gone again i'll tell you what to do
[17:34] <chadi> I installed grub on the linux partition and not the MBR. When can I find menu.lst?
[17:34] <mori_> BOOTING
[17:34] <bastidrazor> chadi: which version of grub and ubuntu?
[17:35] <xzachtmx> does anyone know how to run ubuntu shell scripts from C++ ? i searched and it gave me the system() function but do i just put in the directory of my script?
[17:35] <mkquist_> Joe__: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=528735  maybe
[17:35] <chadi> bastidrazor karmic, and latest grub avilable in the repos
[17:35] <duffydack> huh, normally i boot up its using like 200 or something meg...ive just rebooted after doing quite memory intensive work, and its 1.4gb in in use with nothing running?  checked process list, looks ok...odd
[17:35] <nastas> pompa_: still there?
[17:35] <bastidrazor> !grub2 | chadi
[17:36] <pompa_> nastas: yes
[17:36] <bastidrazor> chadi: grub2 does not have a menu.lst it uses grub.cfg ..that site will explain better.
[17:36] <mori_> xzachtmx: perl ftw
[17:36] <pompa_> nastas: but everyting is worst than you could imagine...
[17:36] <nastas> pompa_: what do you mean?
[17:36] <airtonix> kathy, this list might help you avoid the xenophobic devices out there : http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/HARDWARE
[17:36] <ddelony> mori_: Or Python
[17:37] <Joe__> mkquist that is about monitoring an array, mine won't rebuild
[17:37] <chadi> bastidrazor thanks :)
[17:37] <mkquist_> Joe__: sry, just a shot
[17:37] <bastidrazor> !hardware | kathy : this list is #ubuntu approved
[17:37] <ionut> i am trying to connect my ubuntu one to internet and it fails
[17:37] <mori_> ddelony: havent messed w/ Python much - i work in sysadministration so command line perl is essential
[17:37] <bain> How do I redirect output from a program that is not stderr or stdout ?
[17:37] <pompa_> nastas: to start up the system I have to choose the 24-25 kernel in grub, because the default choice is the 24-26 (or something like that) and it doesn't work at all
[17:38] <ddelony> bain: I think it's 2>&1
[17:38] <pompa_> nastas: that's why I initially ask if it would be possiblew to downgrade
[17:38] <nastas> pompa_: ok choose the working kernel
[17:38] <bain> ddelony: the output is not stdout or stderr so redirecting like that won't help
[17:38] <dreamy> how can i understand how good linux is for sound quality ? anyone helping?
[17:39] <pompa_> nastas: anyway the wireless is gone again, with the working kernel
[17:39] <nastas> ok
[17:39] <boblesax> r et joyeux noel a toutes et a tousse
[17:39] <mori_> mkquist, okay booted up however im not familiar at all w/ gparted
[17:40] <mori_> mkquist, i have create a new partition table
[17:40] <nastas> pompa_: in a terminal sudo gedit /etc/modules then add the line "ipw2200" without quotes
[17:40] <kathy> okay the printer is in the list... hence no way thank you all
[17:40] <mori_> mkquist, i assume a create a new partition now
[17:40] <mkquist_> mori_: run gparted?
[17:40] <mori_> Anyone, I havent used ext4 yet, should i stay w/ ext3
[17:40] <mori_> mkquist, gparted is run
[17:41] <pompa_> nastas: done
[17:41] <hal> Merry Christmas to all
[17:41] <nastas> pompa_: did you did it? sorry being in rush but i have 30 minites left and then i have to work :)
[17:41] <nastas> pompa_: ok
[17:41] <mori_> mkquist, i am at the Create a new Partition window
[17:41] <nastas> now reboot again
[17:41] <pompa_> nastas: I'm sorry
[17:41] <nastas> pompa_: now reboot again
[17:41] <jesse2> merry christmas everyone! having a small problem.  when i change my mouse pointer in the apperance preferences, it remains as the default (except when i hover over firefox).  but it remains as the default whenever i hover over the desktop and most other applications other than firefox.  when its over firefox, it changes into the pointer i set it to.  what gives?
[17:41] <nastas> pompa_: with your working kernel
[17:42] <jesse2> yesterday someone recommended i type "metacity --replace" to fix my mouse pointer woes.  it worked, but then all my desktop effects disappeared
[17:42] <mkquist_> mori_: I thought you wanted to resize a partition? no? so you have free space on a drive?
[17:42] <mori_> mkquist, I want to create a new partition to install windows
[17:42] <saltty> test
[17:43] <mkquist_> mori_: do you have free space?
[17:43] <mori_> mkquist, yep
[17:43] <mkquist_> mori_: formatted or not?
[17:43] <pompa_> nastas: Great, it's working now
[17:43] <nastas> ok
[17:43] <mori_> mkquist, sda1 has Jaunty
[17:43] <nastas> pompa_: ok try to update your system
[17:44] <mkquist_> mori_: and thats it?
[17:44] <mori_> mkquist, yep
[17:44] <pompa_> with an apt-get update?
[17:44] <pompa_> nastas: with an apt-get update?
[17:44] <nastas> yes pompa_
[17:44] <Pip> How to set keyboard layout with command ?
[17:45] <sweex> anyone? i plugged in my eth0 to connect to internet to download my wireless drivers, but i can't get eth0 working... i tried dhcp and static ip's with dhcp i get: dhcpdiscover on eth0 to <IP_ADDRESS> port 67 interval x and then fails...
[17:45] <sweex> Pip, setxkbmap
[17:45] <Oasa> hi adalal
[17:45] <sweex> Pip, eg setxkbmap be
[17:45] <pompa_> nastas: nothing happened
[17:46] <mkquist_> mori_: then you need to just resize it, leave some open space for windows.
[17:46] <pompa_> nastas: just refreshed the package list
[17:46] <mori_> mkquist, Partition menu has that option grayed out
[17:46] <mori_> do i need to sudo gparted
[17:47] <nastas> pompa_: and the apt-get upgrade?
[17:47] <nastas> pompa_: shows nothing
[17:47] <bastid_raZor> mori_: you are not able to make changes to partitions while they are mounted
[17:47] <mori_> bastid_raZor, umount -a
[17:47] <Joe__> PLEASE... after upgrading to 9.10 my mdadm arrays will not rebuild, I had 3 (md0, md1, md2) only md2 will build.  sdb1 and sdc1 went into md0, but trying to manually build them mdadm says no such file or directory
[17:47] <pompa_> nastas: it says that there are 545 packages not updated
[17:48] <bastid_raZor> mori_: if you're using the partition for your OS .. that you are on now. it is impossible to umount a working partition
[17:48] <mkquist_> bastid_raZor: hes on live cd
[17:48] <mori_> Bass10, i am on livecd
[17:48] <bastid_raZor> mkquist_: aye.. i missed that part.
[17:48] <mori_> << this is my desktop
[17:48] <bastid_raZor> mori_: my bad, i didn't see that part.
[17:48] <mkquist_> bastid_raZor: hes trying to make some space to install windows
[17:48] <mori_> bastid_raZor, all good
[17:49] <mkquist_> bastid_raZor: hes just not familiar with gparted is all
[17:49] <kathy> http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/docs/HARDWARE i can find epson al-c1000 in this list...so theres aint no way? with ndiswrapper and windows drivers?
[17:49] <mori_> mkquist, dont suppose you are familiar w/ gparted command line>
[17:50] <pompa_> nastas: but it not update them
[17:50] <mkquist_> mori_: cant say that I am, not w/ c/l, never had a reason
[17:51] <chadi> compiz doesn't automatically run unless I use compiz --replace & every time. Why is that?
[17:51] <mori_> mkquist, looks like ill just have to format and reinstall ubuntu
[17:51] <mori_> luckily work is dead and i have nothing better to do
[17:51] <mkquist_> mori_: hold on a sec, gonna reboot to live cd
[17:51] <mori_> mkquist, kay
[17:52] <nastas> pompa_: try to boot the default kernel again and tell me exactly what is happening
[17:52] <mkquist> mori_: and im here too = )
[17:52] <tmcc> hi
[17:52] <Pip> sweex, wait a minute, setxkbmap can set Russian keyboard layout ?
[17:52] <mori_> mkquist, :D
[17:52] <sweex> Pip, setxkbmap ru ?
[17:53] <tmcc> it seems that somone try to crack my dsl router .. is there a tool to see whick ip try to access the router?
[17:53] <michael_> hallo
[17:54] <nastas> pompa_: still there?
[17:54] <tmcc> i cant access the router because the router has a timeout with every wront passwort attemp
[17:54] <airtonix> chadi, because you need to insert it into your startup applications list.
[17:55] <pompa_> nastas: starting up -> ubuntu logo+progress bar -> error: gave up waiting for root device. common problems: -boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) ...it continues
[17:55] <tmcc> re
[17:55] <iceroot> tmcc: dhcpdump
[17:55] <usamahashimi> atleast how much watt ups i should buy to provide power to my pc (cpu and lcd) for 90 mins?
[17:55] <airtonix> chadi, alternatively you can use the "remember currently running application" button under the options tab of startup applications preferences widget
[17:55] <iceroot> tmcc: its sniffing the whole traffic related to dhcp on a network
[17:56] <tmcc> thx iceroot my prob is that i have to bann the user cause if he is fast enough a reset wont help
[17:56] <chadi> airtonix but I don't remember doing that on my current machine
[17:56] <iceroot> tmcc: and how to ban him?
[17:57] <mori_> hmmm i broke it
[17:57] <mori_> Grub Error 22
[17:57] <airtonix> chadi, and ? your current machine = the machine on which compiz is not running at login ?
[17:57] <Joe__> does anyone here know lvm?
[17:57] <tmcc> iceroot, i think i was my mistake .. cause i think there is a chanche to configure the router to do not accept connection to port 80 from the internet
[17:57] <iceroot> !lvm | Joe__
[17:57] <cybrhuman> is there someone who can point me to a tutorial for network setup from command line? (I've tried google, but I'm not good at seeing what is relevant)
[17:57] <chadi> nope, current = machine where compiz is running
[17:57] <alankila> usamahashimi: well, a PC usually consumes something like 200 W of electricity, and LCD could take another 50. Thus, you can estimate that to run 90 minutes for 250 W of power drain, you will need 250 * 90 * 60 joules.
[17:58] <mkquist> mori_: funny but I just ran gparted and have the option to resize w/ no problem.  You sure the drive isn't mounted?
[17:58] <JoeSomebody> what is a fast easy way to listen to christmas music, anyone know a site or something?
[17:58] <Joe__> if I do sudo apt-get remove lvm2 and later reinstall it, will the settings (ie devices) still work without data loss?
[17:58] <iceroot> tmcc: sure, block the port (read the manual from the router)
[17:58] <pompa_> nastas: here it is http://pastebin.com/m390b8408
[17:58] <airtonix> chadi, you might want to check that startup application widget to make sure, also do you have fusion-icon installed ?
[17:58] <airtonix> !info fusion-icon | chadi
[17:58] <JoeSomebody> on ubuntu and ff of course
[17:58] <teachprint> Problem with installing ubuntu 9.10 on athlon machine w/windows.  When install gets to partitioner, get dialog that shows "?????" then after that install stops progress, no other messages.
[17:58] <tmcc> iceroot, but my prob is that i cant access the router cause of the hack .. so i cant block the ip
[17:58] <mori_> mkquist, yeah the drive isnt mounted
[17:59] <chadi> airtonix thank you, I'll check then once I get into linux :)
[18:00] <usamahashimi> alankila: can you refer me to some webpage which contains detailed info?
[18:00] <alankila> usamahashimi: no... and I am not sure what kind of machine you got, but I measured my box at one point and it was around 200 W...
[18:00] <JoeSomebody> only xmas station/sites i know requires internet explorer
[18:01] <mkquist> then u should be able to resize it...  does gparted give have the option to unmount it?
[18:01] <JoeSomebody> or maybe it required wmp
[18:01] <alankila> but I usually buy lower power components
[18:01] <pompa_> nastas: still there?
[18:02] <nastas> pompa_: it seems like it can't find the divice
[18:02] <usamahashimi> alankila: can i know about your region?
[18:02] <alankila> Finland.
[18:02] <pompa_> nastas: i don't understand wich device, anyway
[18:02] <Joe__> does uninstalling lvm2 remove the configuration data for the vg groups?
[18:03] <nastas> your hdd pompa_
[18:03] <tmcc> thx iceroot i think my only chace is to reset the router and to be fast enough to login ... or the provider need to help me
[18:03] <airtonix> JoeSomebody, you mean listen to shoutcast internet radio ?
[18:03] <nastas> pompa_: try to boot in the working kernel
[18:04] <pompa_> nastas: done

[18:30] <adalal> Oasa: on windows, there're programs taht allow you to somewhat customize windows, but they all come at a price, mostly adwares
[18:30] <Oasa> customize what?
[18:30] <Oasa> !wat
[18:31] <adalal> Oasa: not to mention if you want to do any major changes, it'll have to be to the registry, which is a pretty sensitive thing...
[18:31] <mka> Wamphyri, what is a raptor drive?
[18:31] <adalal> Oasa: customize looks, get free software, get community support
[18:31] <mka> MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

[18:37] <adalal> Joe__: tried sudo fdisk -l?
[18:37] <Hilikus> where's the kernel source? i have a make script telling me this
[18:37] <Hilikus> un 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."
[18:38] <Joe__> adalal they show up on fdisk -l just fine, but mdadm claims they aren't there (and at other times claims they are busy)

[18:38] <tmcc> iceroot, thx i found a solution ... i tried to connect every 10s and login during he wait
[18:38] <Joe__> clean install = loss of everything, upgrade = high chance of loss of everything

[18:46] <adalal> Wamphyri: all i do is ask you to post on the forums... and see if anyone replies
[18:46] <pepperjack> Arabus: xterm probably doesnt have unicode support. i've been using urxvt for forever. i would guess that you could recompile xterm for utf8 but im.. not entirely sure
[18:47] <adalal> Joe__: Open it with gparted
[18:47] <Wamphyri> ok :)
[18:47] <Joe__> adalal can't boot, no gui
[18:47] <Arabus> pepperjack: well I am mainly concerned about using pidgin for irc chat and typing unicode characters into it - but it does not seem to work for me even though it does work for others

[19:12] <auntieNeo> how do I disable pulse audio? it's interfering with some of my games
[19:12] <ubuntunewbie> please ?
[19:12] <ubuntunewbie> please ?
[19:12] <elzoog> I guess nobody here knows?  You don't simply edit a text file?
[19:12] <BinaryMan> auntieNeo: You probably want to disable PulseAudio.
[19:12] <mneptok> !info nvidia-settings
[19:12] <h4f1> ubuntunewbie: please what ?
[19:12] <guntbert> !grub2 | elzoog
[19:12] <auntieNeo> BinaryMan: that's what I just asked about
[19:12] <BinaryMan> !info pbzip2
[19:13] <darkside86> is there a GUI where a user can set their own password w/o admin privs?
[19:13] <BinaryMan> auntieNeo: you came here looking for help, yes?

[19:13] <meydlo> pls have anybody experience with problem :" ath5k phy0: noise floor calibration tameout "?
[19:13] <eli_> Hey... how do I switch to normal desktop mode in UNR 9.10? The desktop-switcher package does not exist in karmic
[19:13] <BinaryMan> auntieNeo: Best advice is not to disable PulseAudio and find another way to fix your game.
[19:13] <darkside86> ok thanks
[19:14] <auntieNeo> BinaryMan: that's bullshit. I know what I'm doing. it's an old binary game that won't work with pulesaudio

[19:14] <auntieNeo> what a rude bot :(
[19:14] <ManDay> Someone help me with my automount, when I plug in the SD card or USB stick it doesnt Automount?!?!
[19:14] <BinaryMan> auntieNeo: Then you can help yourself.
[19:15] <adalal> ManDay: install gconf-editor
[19:15] <BinaryMan> meydlo: i have that error in dmesg constantly. it doesn't seem to affect my wireless.
[19:15] <adalal> and there're options in there to allow gnome to assist in automount
[19:15] <BinaryMan> time to run, yet again
[19:15] <elzoog> So is that the solution when linux decides to make something more complicated?  When someone asks a question you guys just cover your ears and go "la la la"?
[19:16] <ciro314> hi! i have several postscript files and i would like to join them in a single pdf file. pdftk does not handle this kind of files. any suggestion, please?
[19:16] <obaid> i need help with my vpn connection setup
[19:16] <auntieNeo> I'm sorry about my language. does anyone know the correct way to disable pulse audio in ubuntu?
[19:16] <darkside86> i usually just force kill it as needed
[19:16] <auntieNeo> the wiki has instructions, but it seems to have changed with the latest version
[19:16] <darkside86> until it starts back up
[19:17] <auntieNeo> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio#line-91
[19:17] <mneptok> auntieNeo: killall pulseaudio
[19:17] <obaid> anyone used ultravpn.fr in ubuntu ?
[19:17] <ManDay> adalal, i got it already
[19:17] <ManDay> what conf setting?
[19:17] <auntieNeo> mneptok: I've already done that... but it's not a great solution
[19:17] <auntieNeo> I pretty much just want to know where it autostarts itself
[19:17] <auntieNeo> some gnome thing I assume, since the init script tells me it's per-user
[19:18] <Joe__> halfway fixed... stupid dmraid
[19:18] <BluesKaj> !atitude | elzoog
[19:18] <darkside86> what does pulseaudio do anyway? add one more layer of complexity to Linux sound?
[19:18] <ManDay> adalal, ?
 anyone know how to set nvidia setting ? my refresh rate keep on reset to default when I restart window
[19:18] <auntieNeo> darkside86: it's a sound server. basically it mixes sound. pulseaudio does some additional things like allow network sound
 I looking for that with google but no good  solution :-/
[19:19] <auntieNeo> darkside86: but difficulties arise because pulseaudio is new and a lot of old games *cough* ut2004 *cough* don't understand the api
[19:19] <auntieNeo> plus, I like dmix better, personally
[19:19] <adalal> ManDay: give a few mins.. i've trying to find it
[19:19] <ManDay> thats very kind adalal thank you
[19:19] <ManDay> im waiting
[19:20] <BluesKaj> elzoog, changing the name of a kernel ...why /
[19:20] <auntieNeo> but it seems the latest ubuntu has this newfangled "run pulseaudio when teh user logs in" thing and I can't figure out where it's running it from
[19:21] <auntieNeo> ah, there appears to be a script at /etc/pulse... I can figure this out :P
[19:22] <adalal> ManDay: on gconf-editor see /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount
[19:22] <adalal> ManDay: see if it's enabled
[19:23] <ManDay> adalal, its on already
[19:23] <Enzo_01> what is the best way to have a kde on netbook
[19:23] <adalal> oh that's odd
[19:23] <ManDay> wait ill check dmesg
[19:23] <Enzo_01> to install ubuntu netbook remix, and then install kde
[19:23] <adalal> what messages come up on dmest on inserting the drive?
[19:23] <Enzo_01> or install a kubuntu
[19:24] <Enzo_01> ?
[19:24] <darkside86> would anyone happen to know why a 4th generation 8G nano fails to show songs written to it via Rhythmbox? i tried gtkpod and banshee but they won't even show the device?
[19:24] <ubuntunewbie> anyone know how to set nvidia setting ? my refresh rate keep on reset to default when I restart window
[19:24] <Joe__> adalal think I almost have it...
[19:25] <adalal> Joe__: what did you try?
[19:25] <ManDay> adalal, nothing special, dmesg seems normal
[19:25] <Joe__> adalal noticed after I did parted the nodes showed up for that disk
[19:25] <wotsolatsod731> Can someone please tell me what can I do gain access here? E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[19:25] <wotsolatsod731> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
