[05:10] <dmenear> Ubuntu just pushed a plymouth update...
[05:10] <sexy_> Maybe it will fix itself after a restart
[05:10] <sexy_> Anyway to take off the 32GB filesystem icon though?
[05:10] <ferris_> MrAnthrope... search for "10 things to do after installing ubuntu" there will be two links one for each 10.4 and 10.10... they are different but both have great suggestions for noobs
[05:10] <wh1t5_> Ubuntu Linux isn't meant for stupid people.
[05:10] <Ebrahem> is it possible to load a 32bit driver in 64bit OS?
[05:11] <MrAnthrope> Yeah the Plymouth thing I downloaded, also fugly. Though it worked! lol
[05:11] <dmenear> heh
[05:11] <MrAnthrope> Some ugly blue blob thing and it says UB and then black screen and then back to the purple low res lens flare of doom
[05:11] <MrAnthrope> OF DOOOOM
[05:11] <faction918> haha
[05:11] <faction918> like the Windows BSOD
[05:12] <MrAnthrope> I was actually just looking at "10 things to do..." :)
[05:12] <pigiron> Ebrahem: nope
[05:12] <faction918> Kubuntu is 'pretty'
[05:13] <MrAnthrope> I love things that are packaged in .deb
[05:13] <MrAnthrope> Why is everything not like this?
[05:13] <Ebrahem> pigiron, if the 64bit driver freezes the pc, that means I should find an alternative driver, right?
[05:13] <lucent> How do I get something packaged in .deb included into Ubuntu?
[05:13] <ferris_> yep... .deb is sweet
[05:13] <srini> i got initramfs error while booting...
[05:14] <ferris_> but so is "sudo apt-get install -f..."
[05:14] <srini> how to solve this problem
[05:14] <MrAnthrope> I haven't had to open the terminal yet. I'm pretty impressed.
[05:14] <MrAnthrope> 10.04 is definitely the best version yet.
[05:14] <lucent> srini: get your system booted somehow, and then 'update-initramfs -k all -u'
[05:14] <pigiron> Ebrahem: probably... *if* that's the problem.
[05:15] <sexy_> So how can I get wine to work?
[05:15] <windowshasyou> sexy_: If you really have to ask that, you shouldn't be using linux.
[05:15] <misteralexander> windowshasyou: ROFL
[05:15] <lucent> windowshasyou: tsk tsk
[05:15] <ferris_> did you install wine with synaptic?
[05:15] <Ebrahem> pigiron, what do you mean?
[05:15] <MrAnthrope> I think it highly depends on what you are trying to install with Wine. Especially with games they usually have a tutorial on the Wine website.
[05:15] <sexy_> Ehh we all need to start somewhere buddy...
[05:16] <sirninja> Does anybody know how to blacklist my wireless from automatically connecting to an AP?
[05:16] <sexy_> Yes I think I installed it with synaptic
[05:16] <Jordan_U> Volkodav: Can you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[05:16] <misteralexander> sexy_: do you already have wine installed?
[05:16] <jisiko> hi guys
[05:16] <sexy_> Yes, let me give you the error it gives me
[05:16] <jisiko> how do i install virtual machines
[05:16] <srini> lucent:  can i use live cd?
[05:16] <pigiron> Ebrahem: I don't know what your symptom is... are you getting a kernel "oops" when you modprobe a device driver?
[05:17] <Volkodav> Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304726
[05:17] <misteralexander> sexy_: cd /usr/bin
[05:17] <misteralexander> sexy_: ls | grep wine
[05:17] <lucent> srini: sure, put your beer on it
[05:17] <WorkingOnWise> whats a simple way to revert back to gnome if unity does like my pen on my tablet pc?
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> jisiko: use virtualbox or vmware
[05:17] <Jordan_U> Volkodav: That is not your /boot/grub/grub.cfg .
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> WorkingOnWise: log off, select the different desktop, log on
[05:17] <misteralexander> sexy_: You see anything wine come up?
[05:17] <Volkodav> oh ma bad wrong window
[05:17] <faction918> jisiko: virtural box
[05:18] <sexy_> I see Wine under Applications
[05:18] <misteralexander> okay
[05:18] <IsmAvatar> Why does my Ubuntu shows funky messages at startup, while it's showing the Ubuntu text with the dots on the purple screen?
[05:18] <srini> lucent:   how to solve this problem.. should i install initrd?
[05:18] <sirninja> Does anybody know how to blacklist my wireless from automatically connecting to a certain access point?
[05:18] <misteralexander> lsmAvatar: Ubuntu hates you, that's why.
[05:18] <Spoofy> Hello!
[05:19] <jisiko> hahah
[05:19] <Spoofy> I have an issue that just came up recently.
[05:19] <lucent> srini: sorry I'm just not interested to spend the time to go through it with you, it is fixable though
[05:19] <WorkingOnWise> ActionParsnip, what  is a keyboard only way to log off? Without a Super key also.
[05:19] <misteralexander> sirninja: you can blacklist the BSSID in your hosts file
[05:19] <srini> lucent: ok sir
[05:19] <sexy_> Ahh ok, I think i got it working o.O
[05:19] <misteralexander> it won't connect to THAT AP.
[05:19] <lucent> \o/ sexy
[05:19] <sirninja> misteralexander: How exactly do I do that?
[05:19] <ferris_> ok great
[05:19] <Spoofy> I had installed ubuntu, and then made another partition and then installed windows 7, however windows 7 removed ubuntu from my bootloader. I tried following guides online with the use of the ubuntu live CD, but it never worked out and I kept getting errors.
[05:20] <misteralexander> sirninja: hold on . . . I've got it, let me copy it.
[05:20] <Volkodav> Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304731
[05:20] <lucent> Spoofy: was it an msdos or gpt disklabel?
[05:20] <i_is_broke> Spoofy: did you put windows on first partition?
[05:20] <lucent> msdos is "MBR" and gpt is mac osx, win7
[05:20] <jisiko> how can i run other virtual operation systems as virtual machines?
[05:20] <Spoofy> No I put it on the second.
[05:21] <IsmAvatar> * Not starting jetty
[05:21] <jisiko> can any one help
[05:21] <Ebrahem> pigiron, sudo modprobe ndiswrapper returns nothing
[05:21] <IsmAvatar> that's something it tells me at the boot screen.
[05:21] <lucent> !kvm | jisiko
[05:21] <jisiko> i need to run linux 5.4 and probably some windows oses and virtual machines
[05:21] <Spoofy> I'm not too good with ubuntu, but I can manage a little.
[05:21] <i_is_broke> yeah but the virtualbox you get from their site gives you usb support does kvm?
[05:21] <Ebrahem> pigiron, lshw shows the driver is mdiswrapper+netathuwx
[05:22] <Volkodav> Jordan_U: It only reads 2 lines from /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme for some reason
[05:22] <Ebrahem> ndiswrapper+netathuwx*
[05:22] <misteralexander> sirninja: it's all done in your /etc/hosts.deny file . . . google that & it'll walk you through it.
[05:22] <pigiron> Ebrahem: argh!  A ndiswrapper problem... you had problems the native driver?
[05:23] <Spoofy> So is anyone familiar with my issue?
[05:23] <Jordan_U> Volkodav: Add GRUB_BACKGROUND=/usr/share/images/grub/050817-N-3488C-028.tga to /etc/default/grub.
[05:23] <misteralexander> sexy_: what was the problem?
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> jisiko: there is no linux 5.4
[05:23] <WXZ> I'm trying to write a bash script which compiles and runs a c# program
[05:23] <WXZ> how would I do that?
[05:23] <sirninja> misteralexander: I thought hosts.deny required ip addresses, it works with mac addresses as well?
[05:23] <lucent> ActionParsnip: he's from the distant future
[05:23] <Jordan_U> Volkodav: Though since grub supports png also, and at a higher quality than that tga, I would recommend you use a png/jpeg image instead.
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> lucent: very distant indeed
[05:23] <Spoofy> WXZ did you install mono?
[05:23] <i_is_broke> Spoofy: im pretty sure win 7 has to be installed on the first partition but not  100%
[05:23] <Ebrahem> pigiron, no native driver works with my usb, dlink dwa 126, the one i am using is windows' 64bit.
[05:23] <WXZ> Spoofy: yes
[05:24] <Volkodav> Let me try Jordan_U
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> i_is_broke: it doesnt matter, it's all handled for you
[05:24] <Spoofy> Can I just switch the partitions with Gpartion on the ubuntu live CD?
[05:24] <i_is_broke> ActionParsnip: then why did it remove ubuntu thebn?
[05:24] <ActionParsnip> i_is_broke: not sure, i dont use windows
[05:24] <IsmAvatar> What is Jetty, and why do I have it installed such that it's printing messages at my boot screen?
[05:25] <ActionParsnip> i_is_broke: but grub doesn't care where it is
[05:25] <i_is_broke> ActionParsnip: haha me either...lol
[05:25] <Spoofy> WXZ, I'm not too good with bash, but I've compiled C# programs before using linux.
[05:25] <i_is_broke> ActionParsnip: yeah i know grub dont, but windows does care where it is, and i think it is suppose to be like the first partition
[05:25] <pigiron> Ebrahem: according to Wikipedia there are very few 64 bit Windows XP drivers available for use with ndiswrapper.
[05:25] <WXZ> Spoofy: I have to, I just want a faster way to do it other than going into terminal
[05:26] <Spoofy> Ah, I see.
[05:26] <WXZ> and then cding into the right directory
[05:26] <WXZ> then running gmcs, then running mono
[05:26] <Spoofy> Have you tried using monodevelop?
[05:26] <ActionParsnip> pigiron: use the vista 64bit drivers, should be ok
[05:26] <sirninja> misteralexander: And is that the best way to do this? I'm on a network with many access points and it just so happens the one closest to my room doesn't function properly, but it has the strongest signal here, so ubuntu defaults to that one
[05:26] <i_is_broke> Spoofy: its a lot easier if you install windows first as well.
[05:26] <Volkodav> Jordan_U: still does not work
[05:26] <Spoofy> Yeah, but I don't want to reinstall ubuntu :( It took me so long to get me the write setup heh
[05:26] <Ebrahem> pigiron, if my usb vendor/device is listed in wireless.kernel.org, it should natively work right?
[05:27] <Volkodav> sudo update-grub does not see thew image
[05:27] <WXZ> Spoofy: yeah, I guess I'll stick to monodevelop
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> sirninja: I believe nm can be told to ignore certain SSIDs
[05:27] <Jordan_U> Volkodav: Can you pastebin your current /etc/default/grub and /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[05:27] <Spoofy> Do you think it's the best if I install windows first?
[05:27] <i_is_broke> Spoofy: have you updated grub after installing windows.?
[05:27] <sonicdh> Hey guys, hows it going?
[05:27] <sirninja> ActionParsnip: Well, they all have the same ssid's it's the bssid's that are different
[05:27] <ferris_> Spoofy... yes do install winblows first and then linux
[05:27] <misteralexander> sirninja: Hmm . . . I think I misunderstood your problem . . . I'm checking right now.
[05:27] <ActionParsnip> Spoofy: if you do then the dual boot will be handled cleaner, install windows to only a portion of the drive space rather than the default 100% and you wont have to mess with resizing
[05:28] <pigiron> ActionParsnip: then Wikipedia is out of date... it says ndiswrapper doesn't support NDIS 6.
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> pigiron: update it then, it's a wiki
[05:28] <Balsaq> u are supposed to install w7 1st not ubuntu on a dual booter
[05:28] <Spoofy> Ah, darn.
[05:28] <i_is_broke> thanks i thought so
[05:28] <sonicdh> Is anyone else getting a 404 when trying to his the main i386 sources for makerick when you do an apt-get update?
[05:28] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: you can do it either, win first is just easier
[05:28] <Volkodav> Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304741
[05:28] <sonicdh> *hit
[05:28] <pigiron> ActionParsnip: i guess you need to update it if you think it's wrong.
[05:28] <Balsaq> yes much easier
[05:29] <Balsaq> so he /she just need to install grub now right?
[05:29] <Spoofy> Is there anyway I can get to my ubuntu parition for now? Or must I just reinstall everything?
[05:29] <sonicdh> Anybody?
[05:29] <i_is_broke> Spoofy: try updating grub and see if it sees it.
[05:29] <ActionParsnip> pigiron: i dont edit wikipedia, or use ndiswrapper
[05:29] <sirninja> ActionParsnip: do you think wicd would have more options?
[05:30] <Spoofy> Do I just go to the ubuntu life CD and do sudo apt-get install grub?
[05:30] <pigiron> ActionParsnip: neither do I
[05:30] <Balsaq> i have seen documentation somewhere on installing or upgdating grub after the fact or repairing it after windows wrecks it
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> sirninja: worth a try :)
[05:30] <Jordan_U> Volkodav: And your /etc/default/grub?
[05:30] <Volkodav> keep scrolling
[05:30] <ActionParsnip> Balsaq: sure, but you can then boot to liveCD and put grub back in
[05:30] <Volkodav> it is in the same post Jordan_U
[05:30] <infid> i have dual monitors using 'twin view'. How can i make it so that both monitors' windows 'tabs' aren't all on one monitor? it clogs it up
[05:30] <Ebrahem> ActionParsnip, vista64bit drivers says "hardware present: no" in ndiswrapper
[05:31] <sexy_> Ok one more thing
[05:31] <Balsaq> yes correct ActionParsnip
[05:31] <sexy_> How do I compile files so I can install them?
[05:31] <Jordan_U> Spoofy: Follow this guide: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide .
[05:31] <Balsaq> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[05:31] <pigiron> Ebrahem: can you pastebin the output of "lsusb -v" while the wireless device is plugged in?
[05:31] <mcnuggets> How do I go about removing anything that has to do with Google from my system. Is there a wild card for removing anything with google in the name
[05:31] <Ebrahem> pigiron, sure
[05:32] <lucent> mcnuggets: did you install using deb packages, or by "make install" / installer-ing random things
[05:32] <misteralexander> sirninja: I think I might over thinking this . . . you HAVE tried to use the built in GUI frontend for configuring your wireless, right?
[05:33] <mcnuggets> lucent: Neither. I just did an Dist upgrade with apt-get in Terminal and I seen a few headers or something with Google in the name.
[05:33] <misteralexander> sirninja: In that you can choose to deny or "Auto" connect and stuff like that.  You can prefer a different network than just the one with the strongest bars.
[05:33] <Syco54645> hello, i am unfamiliar with grub2, how would i add the boot option pci=routeirq to my grub.cfg?
[05:33] <Balsaq> Spoofy i think this directly addresses your concern: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows (posted it again because i didn't use your name the 1st time).
[05:33] <Volkodav> Jordan_U: it is the weirdest thing I came across and it is like that on 2 different machines
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Ebrahem: try win7 then
[05:34] <Volkodav> all files seem ok huh ?
[05:34] <Jordan_U> Volkodav: What is the output of "file /usr/share/images/grub/050817-N-3488C-028.tga"?
[05:34] <ActionParsnip> Syco54645: you don't add it to grub.cfg, that file is generated
[05:34] <Ebrahem> pigiron, http://pastebin.com/iDHBX6Pt
[05:35] <Syco54645> ActionParsnip: i realize that but i would like to add that boot option. can you point me to where i get that information at?
[05:35] <Jordan_U> Syco54645: /etc/default/grub
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> Syco54645: you add it in the quotes with: quiet splash   in /etc/default/grub   you will need: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub  to get write access
[05:35] <Ebrahem> ActionParsnip, already did. now reading wireless.kernel.org and trying to figure how to install the combat-wireless river
[05:35] <Volkodav> Jordan_U: /usr/share/images/grub/050817-N-3488C-028.tga: Targa image data - RGB 640 x 424
[05:35] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | Syco54645
[05:35] <AbhiJit> hello
[05:35] <lexvegas> mcnuggets, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list to remove google sources.
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> Syco54645: once you edit and save the file, run: sudo update-grub   and it will put the settings in the grub.cfg file the right way
[05:35] <sirninja> misteralexander: That could work, but there are A LOT of access points here (college campus) and only 1 I know of that doesn't work
[05:35] <lexvegas> mcnuggets, just delete the lines with google in it
[05:35] <Spoofy> okay, i'll try this!
[05:35] <ActionParsnip> Ebrahem: is the device a usb wireless or an internal device?
[05:36] <AbhiJit> anyone using burg? does it bring load to boot time or boot process due to graphics? is it slow compared to normal grub? is it easy to configure?
[05:36] <Syco54645> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[05:36] <sirninja> misteralexander: Definitely a fix for when I'm here though, just have to look for a way to switch it out easily I guess
[05:36] <Ebrahem> ActionParsnip, usb wireless dlink dwa 126
[05:36] <Syco54645> hopefully this fixes the slow write to usb drives....
[05:36] <mcnuggets> lexvegas: Good stuff. Not quite the answer I was looking for but it's a start. Thank you muchly
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> Syco54645: it will also add to all subsequent kernels, grub legacy didnt do this and was a right pain
[05:37] <Syco54645> ActionParsnip: yeah i can see how this is a nicer setup
[05:37] <banker247> whats the difference between /etc/bash.bashrc and /home/username/.bashrc
[05:37] <ActionParsnip> Ebrahem: i'd sell it, or swap it with a windows user for one which works well with linux
[05:37] <lexvegas> mcnuggets, no problem
[05:37] <rezolute> does usb3 work properly in 10.10?
[05:37] <pigiron> Ebrahem: thanks... I'm looking into it.
[05:37] <Syco54645> saves me from having to edit menu.lst over and over again
[05:39] <misteralexander> sirninja -- LOL, just walk around & gather AP info . . . when Ubuntu gets a good list going, you can just prefer certain ones over others.
[05:39] <misteralexander> exit
[05:39] <sirninja> misteralexander? how do I prefer some over others if they have the same SSID?
[05:40] <AbhiJit> anyone using burg? does it bring load to boot time or boot process due to graphics? is it slow compared to normal grub? is it easy to configure?
[05:41] <pigiron> Ebrahem: The VendorID:DeviceID is 07d1:3a10... so you have a Atheros AR9271 chipset... which should be supported since the 2.6.31 kernel... what's your kernel version?
[05:41] <ActionParsnip> AbhiJit: burg isnt supported here
[05:42] <AbhiJit> ActionParsnip, ok. where can i ask about it?
[05:42] <Ebrahem> pigiron, uname -a shows Linux Ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic
[05:42] <ActionParsnip> AbhiJit: #burg maybe
[05:42] <SP_0taku> Has anyone got the magic jack to work for them?
[05:42] <AbhiJit> ActionParsnip, yah
[05:43] <pigiron> Ebrahem: does "lsmod | grep ath" get a hit?
[05:43] <Ebrahem> pigiron, no
[05:44] <pigiron> Ebrahem: k... hold on.
[05:44] <banker247> if i have an alias set to alias g='gnome-open' how do i run it?
[05:44] <banker247> just type g file?
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> pigiron: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsTP-Link
[05:45] <IsmAvatar> I thought apparmor was supposed to be removed from firefox in 9.10. Why am I still getting error messages in my boot log from it? Skipping profile in /etc/apparmor.d/disable: usr.bin.firefox
[05:45] <yitz_> Is there some way to figure out what the current init level is?
[05:45] <ActionParsnip> banker247: yes
[05:46] <sexy_> Ahh, trying to install last.fm scrobbler on Ubuntu. This is a pain. Any help?
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> !initlevel
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> !init
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[05:46] <maco> sexy_: er... the default music player has it built in...
[05:46] <sexy_> err...whoops
[05:46] <sexy_> I suppose banshee does too...let me check
[05:47] <ferris_> sexy... is it an exe?
[05:47] <yitz_>  That doesn't show my current initlevel, but rc.local looks useful for this
[05:47] <frank> 这里不能打中文吗？
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: it's only a warning, i wouldnt fret
[05:47] <sexy_> The scrobbler? No I was trying to download it via the source
[05:47] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: any way to make it stop printing that line on the boot screen? It's mildly annoying.
[05:47] <banker247> ActionParsnip, what about.. creating the file ~/.bash_aliases like it tells you to do in bashrc i've created this file however my alieases are not functioning out of it
[05:47] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: not sure, surely plymouth hides all that?
[05:48] <Jordan_U> Volkodav: Could you run this and pastebin the output: sudo sh -cx ". /etc/default/grub; . /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib; /etc/grub.d/00_header"
[05:48] <ferris_> ok... this is a completely different issue (not a Wine issue)
[05:48] <frank> 应该挺多可以看懂中文的吧。

[05:48] <cortexman> i've tried many techniques for redirecting /CompCogNeuro/CU3D to /CompCogNeuro/index.php/CU3D but it's not working
[05:48] <sexy_> Hm Banshee seems to have last.fm integrated but its not scrobbling my songs
[05:48] <cortexman> please point me to the magic recipe for this http redirect on Ubuntu. I'm using apache. thanks.
[05:48] <ActionParsnip> banker247: i've always used .bashrc personally
[05:49] <banker247> ActionParsnip, do you know what i mean about the alieses file though?
[05:49] <DK> Is there any way to set up various system sounds? I had used an older version of Ubuntu that had it but 10.10 only has a couple of options.
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> cortexman: if you are behind a router an want access from the www you will need your router manual
[05:49] <IsmAvatar> ActionParsnip: maybe. I'll have to reboot to find out. But I was getting a bunch of messages appearing on the boot screen. A half dozen from VMWare, which I uninstalled since I dont' use it anymore.
[05:49] <ActionParsnip> banker247: not heard of it dude, sorry
[05:49] <lexvegas> banker247, have you logged out and back in yet? that was my problem
[05:49] <cortexman> here is a list of what I've tried: http://pastebin.ca/raw/1994169
[05:49] <cheezey> i can't figure out why .xsession isn't running when i log in. i may have accidentally messed with a file but im not sure which one.. :O
[05:50] <cortexman> ActionParsnip, how does what you said relate to what I said?
[05:50] <cortexman> there is no logical link to a router.
[05:50] <Volkodav> Jordan_U: http://pastie.org/1304772
[05:50] <banker247> lexvegas, whats a simple way to logout
[05:51] <clu3> hi all, why on the ubuntu download page there's no checksum value? Am i missing something
[05:51] <Better> Is anybody knowledgeable about setting up virtual hosts on ubuntu for Apache 2.2?
[05:51] <ActionParsnip> cortexman: you stated you wanted to perform http redirects which sounded like you wanted to run a web facing server with you running apache

[05:52] <DK> clu3 check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[05:52] <DK> oops
[05:52] <bojangles> hello, I'm getting "permission denied" when i try to run an a.out executable on my mounted ntfs partition. could anyone help please (i tried editing fstab already)
[05:53] <sirninja> ActionParsnip: If I set a bssid, I still can't get nm-applet to connect right, because when I select it from that list, it assumes I mean the closest one again and asks me to enter the security info
[05:53] <cortexman> Actionparsnip, I am running a web server. Ubuntu is cock blocking my redirect;.
[05:53] <cortexman> please see my pastebin link
[05:54] <pigiron> ActionParsnip: so does Ubuntu ship with the ath9k_hw driver?
[05:54] <ArseneRei> bojangles: Are you sure the executable bit is set on a.out?
[05:54] <clu3> ubottu, DK thanks
[05:54] <bojangles> ArsenRei: I'm sorry, what does that mean?
[05:54] <DK> You're welcome
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> cortexman: have you asked in #httpd
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> pigiron: i think so, there are ways to comile it though. i used to have an ar5000x which needed it so I took it out and got something friendlier
[05:56] <pigiron> ActionParsnip: thanks.
[05:56] <bojangles> ArsenRei: (i'm just doing what i do when compiling code on the linux partition or my external hard drive, but i just reformatted my computer and now have an ntfs partition for files)
[05:56] <ArseneRei> bojangles: If you run `ls a.out` do you see the 'x' present near rw? You need that to run a.out.
[05:56] <ArseneRei> bojangles: Hm...I'm not sure then.
[05:56] <bojangles> there's no 'x'
[05:56] <pigiron> Ebrahem: when you run "modinfo ath9k_hw", do you get a hit?
[05:57] <ArseneRei> bojangles: If you try `chmod +x a.out`, do you see it then?
[05:57] <DK> !list
[05:58] <tmervyn> #drupal
[05:58] <clu3> my downloaded  .iso has correct checksum and i've successfully burned to a CD but when i try to install it, i see the ubuntu trademark for a while before i see the error: "can not mount /dev/loop0" > I googled but found no answer yet. Someone pls help me?
[05:58] <bojangles> ArsenRei: that didn't add an 'x'
[05:58] <Ebrahem> pigiron, yes I got some output
[05:58] <ArseneRei> bojangles: That's all I really know, unfortunately. Sorry.
[05:59] <ActionParsnip> clu3: did you check the CD for defects once first booted to?
[05:59] <pigiron> Ebrahem: k... what happens if you "sudo modprobe ath9k_hw" ?
[05:59] <bojangles> ArsenRei: no problem, thanks for trying
[05:59] <infid> how can i disable <super>s from activiating the shutdown menu in ubuntu? i want to use that keyboard shortcut elsewhere
[05:59] <clu3> ActionParsnip, sorry, what do you mean by CD defects?
[05:59] <Ebrahem> pigiron, nothing happens
[06:00] <IsmAvatar> How do I view the log of boot messages and shutdown messages?
[06:00] <bojangles> how can i run an a.out executable off a mounted ntfs partition? (i get "permission denied") thanks
[06:00] <infid> IsmAvatar: dmesg
[06:00] <Balsaq> clu3, i had that problem with a xubuntu 1004 cd i burnt, never did figure it out, ended up burning it again at 8x speed and it worked.
[06:00] <clu3> ActionParsnip, the full error is "Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs"
[06:00] <infid> bojangles: you need execute permissions chmod +x a.out
[06:01] <Ebrahem> pigiron, should I restart? I see 0 next to ath9k_hw, while lsmoding
[06:01] <MrAnthrope> Despite my outrage over the fact that I can't seem to change the fugly purple screen of doom I'm really digging Ubuntu 10.04
[06:01] <ActionParsnip> clu3: when you boot to the CD you can tell the CD to test itself to see if the burn process was ok, on the same screen you can also test ram. When you start booting the CD pres SPACEBAR and the old school Ubuntu boot screen will show, you should check both
[06:01] <clu3> Balsaq, thanks, that could be my case too
[06:01] <IsmAvatar> infid: I don't think that's what I'm looking for. At shutdown, I see a message printed that says "Asking all remaining processes to terminate", but I don't see that in dmesg.
[06:01] <bojangles> infid: i tried that but i didn't change anything unfortunately
[06:01] <MrAnthrope> lol Balsaq.
[06:01] <clu3> ActionParsnip, thans, I'll check that. back in a min
[06:01] <bojangles> infid: there was a "noexec" in fstab
[06:01] <pigiron> Ebrahem: no need to restart... does it show up in a "sudo iwconfig" ?
[06:01] <infid> IsmAvatar: dmesg is for startup anyway
[06:01] <bojangles> but i deleted that, unmounted, and remounted
[06:02] <bojangles> infid: and no change
[06:02] <Ebrahem> pigiron, nope
[06:02] <IsmAvatar> infid: oh
[06:02] <loltph> Anyone, know of any ATI drivers for Xpress 1150 chipset?
[06:02] <sonicdh> Hey folks, got a problem with updating.
[06:02] <sonicdh> Can anyone help?
[06:02] <pigiron> Ebrahem: argh... your device is listed here as being supported... ugh...  http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/ATH9K_HW.html
[06:03] <sonicdh> I keep getting a 404 from the maverick main sources when I do a apt-get update
[06:03] <sexy_> Ahh stupid banshee
[06:03] <sonicdh> any ideas?
[06:03] <Balsaq> clu3, everytime i forget and let one rip at high speed i get some bizarre thing like that.
[06:03] <ActionParsnip> sonicdh: use software centre to change server, don't use the 'best server' button, manually choose one
[06:04] <sonicdh> Alright, lemmie give that a try
[06:04] <doomgiver> hi, im a newb, and need c++ help, running maverick, is this the right place to ask?
[06:04] <bojangles> infid: is a reboot necessary?
[06:04] <sexy_> hey doomgiver, Im just starting on C++ too.
[06:04] <doomgiver> hi
[06:04] <sexy_> what resources are you using to learn?
[06:05] <doomgiver> i've used c++ before, i have ajunta installed
[06:05] <infid> bojangles: try /var/log/messages
[06:05] <sexy_> Oh, youre ahead of me then
[06:05] <loltph> sonicdh: try another server
[06:05] <pigiron> Ebrahem: ok... do a "sudo modprobe -r ath9k-hw" and try "sudo modprobe ath9k_htc"
[06:05] <doomgiver> dont worry, i dont know *that* much!
[06:06] <sexy_> I can just make a calculator app...
[06:06] <doomgiver> i got that i've to put .h files in /usr/include
[06:06] <doomgiver> but where to get the files from???
[06:06] <pksadiq> sexy_: good
[06:06] <IsmAvatar> Anyone know where shutdown messages are logged to?
[06:07] <pigiron> Ebrahem: ...and then see if the device shows up in a "sudo iwconfig".
[06:07] <sexy_> Do programming jobs pay well anyway?
[06:07] <clu3> ActionParsnip, when i choose "Check CD defects"  menu option, i see a blackscreen fora while, and then it goes to the Ubuntu trademark and later on the error as above. Sounds like the CD is ok?
[06:07] <eraggo> doomgiver: depends what you arelooking for...
[06:07] <sexy_> I was thinking about it for my major
[06:07] <pksadiq> !ot | sexy_
[06:07] <sexy_> right, sorry
[06:07] <loltph> sexy_: lots of demand
[06:08] <bojangles> infid: what should i be looking for in there?
[06:08] <freakabcd> hi all
[06:08] <needhelp1> i copied files from my ubuntu install ext4 onto my external hard drive and attempted to copy them to my windows vista machine, but i think im having permission issues. Is there a way to edit permissions from windows
[06:08] <doomgiver> like alloc.h, graphics.h, dos.h
[06:08] <doomgiver> so what channel to use?
[06:08] <doomgiver> for this topic, i mean
[06:08] <ActionParsnip> clu3: you will be told if its ok on screen in words :)
[06:09] <Ebrahem> pigiron, it is not showing
[06:09] <freakabcd> does someone want to tell me why the dvd 32-bit installer is taking *forever* to get out of the 'determining files to skip copying' ?
[06:09] <IsmAvatar> doomgiver: ##c probably
[06:09] <freakabcd> wow, i've never had any ubuntu before do this. even 10.10 x64 installed much faster than this!
[06:09] <Balsaq> needhelp1, both ubuntu and windows can utilize FAT, but u may seem some errors between ext4 and nfts
[06:09] <doomgiver> IsmAvatar: please elaborate, im totally new
[06:09] <lucent> freakabcd: ext4?
[06:10] <clu3> ActionParsnip, uhm.. this one doesn't sayanything, just goes straight to the install process i think...weird
[06:10] <needhelp1> Balsaq, errors in the files themselves ?
[06:10] <IsmAvatar> doomgiver: You might try asking on the ##c channel
[06:10] <doomgiver> oh
[06:10] <doomgiver> thanks
[06:10] <IsmAvatar> np
[06:10] <freakabcd> lucent, ofcourse not. ext3
[06:10] <Jordan_U> freakabcd: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[06:10] <doomgiver> uhh, i just type ##c?
[06:10] <lucent> freakabcd: well, don't know.
[06:10] <pigiron> Ebrahem: argh!  It appears that chipset is a state of flux in the kernel right now... so now I see why you're resorting to ndiswrapper... but I'm not so sure it's going to work on a 64 bit system.
[06:10] <Balsaq> needhelp1, i the transfer process (error may be the wrong word).
[06:10] <eraggo> doomgiver: you can search packages including them from debian.org...
[06:10] <freakabcd> Jordan_U, not net access on the machine where install is going on :(
[06:10] <IsmAvatar> doomgiver: typically you just type /join ##c
[06:10] <doomgiver> ok
[06:11] <Jordan_U> freakabcd: If you run "dmesg" do you see any IO errors?
[06:11] <needhelp1> Balsaq, any solution to the issue?
[06:11] <freakabcd> lemme check
[06:11] <doomgiver> eraggo: i use software center or synaptic package manager
[06:11] <needhelp1> Balsaq, maybe i should  clarify
[06:11] <Balsaq> possibly make a FAT partition and use it for files to be shared by both windows and ubuntu
[06:11] <Ebrahem> pigiron, ok thank you for your time
[06:11] <MrAnthrope> So I'm trying to change my splash screen. I would like to use one of these http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xsortmode=high&page=0&xcontentmode=160 but these don't do anything, they're just weird files and links to debian art...
[06:11] <doomgiver> or apt-get from command line (very rare, usually copied from net)
[06:12] <MrAnthrope> Am I doing something wrong?
[06:12] <eraggo> synaptic + packagename... :) and packagename you get from debian.org
[06:12] <needhelp1> Balsaq, i copied files from my ext4 onto a external hdd that is ntsf, and im trying to copy them to another nfts drive with .. errors
[06:12] <doomgiver> *thanks to all of u for ur time*
[06:12] <needhelp1> i try to copy the files and nothing happens
[06:12] <Sn4k3> recording the screen using ffmpeg with sound?
[06:12] <Sn4k3> i tried one but theres no sound in it
[06:12] <A_New_Server> Hey, I deleted my panel at the bottom, how do I get it back? (The one with my windows and the button on the left that shows the desktop and at the right it has the different workspaces)
[06:12] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: did you detatch the price from the system?
[06:13] <lucent> A_New_Server: it's gone, you can create a new one though
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> !panelreset | A_New_Server
[06:13] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip, ? i dont follo
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: was the other system you want to copy TO a different PC?
[06:13] <Balsaq> needhelp1, maybe someone else can chime in but i think sometimes issues occur between files transferred between ext4 to ntfs
[06:13] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip, yeah
[06:13] <Sn4k3> recording the screen with ffmpeg
[06:13] <Sn4k3> help
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: ok how did you remove the drive from the first system?
[06:14] <Sn4k3> theres no sound
[06:14] <Balsaq> needhelp1, i think files can be tranferred easier from ext4 to FAT
[06:14] <freakabcd> Jordan_U, there isn't anything out of the ordinary other than stuupid nouveau messages
[06:14] <needhelp1> Sn4k3, can you use gtk record my desktop? ITS in the software center, its better
[06:14] <freakabcd> so i assume if i do a text mode install everything will be fast and spiffy
[06:14] <Sn4k3> but theres a codec problem with that so...
[06:14] <A_New_Server> Thanks guys
[06:14] <freakabcd> i hate the nouveau drive with a passion now
[06:14] <freakabcd> driver
[06:14] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip, copied the files over and right click to safely remove the drive .. its usb
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> freakabcd: sure, you don't need to load a bulky x server to get installing :)
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: just checking you did the safe remove ;)
[06:15] <freakabcd> ActionParsnip, but its on a friend's machine. so i thought i'd show him a gui installer and such
[06:15] <freakabcd> install.py is eating 100% cpu according to top
[06:15] <freakabcd> machine itself is kinda crawling now. no idea when it will finish installing if ever!
[06:16] <sonicdh> okay, so I'm still getting the erros with updating.
[06:16] <sonicdh> here is a copy of the verbose. http://tinypaste.com/1caf23
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> needhelp1: if you chkdsk the partition, it may help
[06:16] <bojangles> i'm getting a "./a.out permission denied error" when running off an ntfs partition...this didn't happen in previous ubuntu versions...does anyone have a solution? thanks
[06:17] <needhelp1> ActionParsnip, since the external is nfts, and the other drive is nfts, there shouldnt be an issue there right, so its probablly permissions ?
[06:18] <swimb> im running a live cd and trying to build source from it but im out of space, how can i get more space?
[06:18] <IsmAvatar> Not really having a whole lot of luck here. I just want to find out what the text Ubuntu is outputting all over the boot screen where it shows the Ubuntu logo
[06:18] <IsmAvatar> and likewise for the shutdown screen
[06:18] <lucent> swimb: install ?
[06:18] <lucent> livecd is not meant to be an environment for compilation
[06:19] <swimb> ah ok
[06:19] <sonicdh> Actionparsnip, I'm still getting errors when updating. Here is a copy of the verbose. http://tinypaste.com/1caf23
[06:19] <Balsaq> NTFS and other Windows fs types are very different from Linux native file systems.
[06:20] <A_New_Server> How do I get permission to add fonts to the font folder?
[06:20] <lucent> A_New_Server: you shouldn't have to do that
[06:21] <A_New_Server> It says I'm not the owner when I go to properties -> permissions and when I try to copy over the fonts it doesn't work
[06:21] <patsbin> any devs in here or anybody that can tell me when the new pidgin version is in the repos? Any workaround for the not working icq protocol atm?
[06:21] <lucent> A_New_Server: create a '.fonts' directory in your home directory, drop them in there
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> sonicdh: you should run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com $1
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> sonicdh: you should run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9FF820FA298C1C9F
[06:21] <lucent> patsbin: er... probably not, but this one is easy to find out
[06:21] <joeyjones> any idea how to force the update manager to display the upgrade button to upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04?
[06:21] <ActionParsnip> sonicdh: you have added a ppa withuot the key
[06:22] <A_New_Server> lucent, how do I know if it worked?
[06:22] <patsbin> lucent: pardon?
[06:22] <A_New_Server> Oh wait nevermind, I'm a retard
[06:22] <lucent> patsbin: 'dpkg -l pidgin' to show installed pidgin version, and then see if it matches the version released at Pidgin website http://pidgin.im
[06:22] <bojangles> has anyone run into problems running executables off of other partitions, etc. in 10.10?
[06:22] <sonicdh> actionparsnip: but I added those ages ago and this is the first time I've had this problem
[06:22] <MrAnthrope> 10.10 runs .exe files?
[06:23] <patsbin> lucent: I already know that there is a new version.
[06:23] <lucent> patsbin: have a look at http://pidgin.im/download/ubuntu/
[06:23] <lucent> it's right on the website
[06:23] <bojangles> sorry, it's an a.out file
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> sonicdh: change server from the main server, it may help
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> MrAnthrope: sure if you install wine
[06:23] <bojangles> but it doesn't have execute permissions
[06:23] <MrAnthrope> lol
[06:23] <patsbin> lucent: Just wanted to know, if anybody know when the new version will be available in the repository.
[06:24] <lucent> it won't, patsbin
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> MrAnthrope: check the appdb for compatibility
[06:24] <lucent> also explained right on their website.
[06:24] <sonicdh>   actionparsnip, here's the feedback from the code you asked me to run: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9FF820FA298C1C9
[06:24] <sonicdh> oops
[06:24] <sonicdh> sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 9FF820FA298C1C9
[06:25] <sonicdh> gpg: "9FF820FA298C1C9" not a key ID: skipping
[06:25] <sonicdh> there
[06:25] <patsbin> lucent: so ubuntu is fine with a pidgin version with broken icq support atm?
[06:26] <lucent> patsbin: yeah, that's not a security vulnerability, use the PPA from the project website
[06:26] <Sn4k3> Ubuntu 10.10 dosent work of live flashdrive?
[06:26] <bojangles> 10.10 won't allow me to change the executable permissions
[06:26] <patsbin> lucent: crazy shit. ubuntu sucks more and more every day
[06:26] <pksadiq> bojangles: did you try chmod?
[06:26]  * lucent sighs
[06:26] <lucent> waste of my time luser
[06:27] <bojangles> pksadiq: yes, unfortunately
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> Sn4k3: yes it does, its a great way to install to netbooks
[06:27] <pksadiq> bojangles: and so sudo chmod?
[06:27] <lucent> Sn4k3: I think Ubuntu 10.10 livecd ISO is difficult to get onto a USB flashdrive correctly
[06:27] <Sn4k3> no i have a problem
[06:27] <Balsaq> Carplips: the tags you're describing are "file attributes" which AFAIK are supported only within the OS and application, not at the lower file system on the disk.
[06:27] <lucent> Sn4k3: it does work, just has some trouble because of conflicting versions of syslinux
[06:27] <Sn4k3> ohh anyway to fix
[06:27] <Cyrano_De> Funny, more people would raise a stink if they changed software versions in the same release by default.
[06:27] <bojangles> pksadiq: yes, that didn't work either unfortunately
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> lucent: it's not there is 1-2-3 app from pendrielinux for windows or unetbootin for both ubuntu and windows
[06:28] <Sn4k3> cuz i want install in my netbook
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> lucent: not hard in any way
[06:28] <lucent> Sn4k3: if it won't boot correctly, then well, I forgot how to fix it but there's something you can type if you did get a syslinux prompt, I think it's just "live" and enter
[06:28] <pksadiq> bojangles: what is output of ls -al a.out  ?
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> Sn4k3: did you MD5 test the ISO you have?
[06:28] <Sn4k3> yea
[06:28] <Cyrano_De> People are given an easy route to move to a newer version and are still not happy.
[06:28] <bojangles> -rw------- 1 tom tom 17376 2010-11-17 01:18 a.out
[06:28] <lucent> ActionParsnip: syslinux is poofed, I've tried Unetbootin and the Ubuntu image creator, both do it wrong
[06:28] <Sn4k3> and it says some ramzwap thing
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> Sn4k3: and what OS are you making the live USB in?
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> lucent: tried pendrive linux 1-2-3 app?
[06:29] <Sn4k3> ubuntu 10.10
[06:29] <lucent> ActionParsnip: no, it was not suggested to me by Ubuntu docs to try pendrive linux 1-2-3 app
[06:29] <Sn4k3> cuz my desktop runs it fine cuz i used a cd
[06:29] <pksadiq> bojangles: what is the output of sudo chmod +x a.out   ?
[06:29] <bojangles> pksadiq: there's no out
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> lucent: its a windows app and can downloaded the iso for you and MD5 test all in one, its nifty :)
[06:30] <lucent> ActionParsnip: I'll remember that next time I have access to Windows ? :)
[06:30] <pksadiq> bojangles: after trying that try ./a.out        ,what is the output?
[06:30] <Cyrano_De> What would they be saying about Ubuntu if the newer version of pidgin were added mid release cycle and all of their contacts and logs got deleted....
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> lucent: ok, if you have network access the run: sudo apt-get --reinstall install usb-creator usb-creator-gtk   so its the latest one then use that
[06:30] <bojangles> pksadiq: bash: ./a.out: Permission denied
[06:30] <ActionParsnip> lucent: nice
[06:31] <pksadiq> bojangles: try sh a.out
[06:31] <ActionParsnip> bojangles: sudo chown $USER:$USER ./a.out  then retry
[06:31] <lucent> it's been a decade now without Microsoft, pretty much wonder when something better than Ubuntu is going to come along so I can use that
[06:31] <bonez2046> could I make a print server from an old ubuntu box.. so that I can share my parallel ported laser jet iii p on my LAN?
[06:31] <pigiron> Ebrahem: does "ls /lib/firmware/ar7010*" produce a hit?
[06:32] <lucent> bonez2046: ah, you could.  The LJ IIIP is a nice old printer for sure ;)
[06:32] <lucent> bonez2046: aren't your rubber rollers worn out and cracked yet though?
[06:32] <bonez2046> lucent: we bought this one damned near 20 years ago .. still works great.. have repaired a few things on it
[06:32] <Ebrahem> pigiron, no such file or directory
[06:32] <bonez2046> lucent: I have replaced the clutch, the laser, and the rollers.. I think the top rollers are due for replacement
[06:33] <lucent> that thing is older than Office Space
[06:33] <lucent> LP LOAD LTR
[06:33] <pigiron> Ebrahem: check out this web page... http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath9k_htc
[06:33] <bojangles> pksadiq: http://paste.ubuntu.com/533368/
[06:33] <bojangles> ActionParsnip: that didn't seem to do anything
[06:33] <bonez2046> lucent: yeah.. I am installing 10.10 on an older deskpro.. hoping to plug this printer as well as a scanner into this box.. to act as my print and scan server
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> bojangles: it changed the file ownership to your current user, you should now have access
[06:34] <lucent> bonez2046: usb-parallel adapter on your desktop machine might be more efficient
[06:35] <bonez2046> lucent: I know I could buy a box from HP et al, that would give the printer an IP.. but this box is just sitting around..
[06:35] <pksadiq> bojangles: what type of file is it? is it a compiled file actually?          does gedit a.out           shows any readable texts?
[06:35] <lucent> personally I wouldn't be able to justify the electricity
[06:35] <bojangles> ActionParsnip: a.out doesn't show up as executable though
[06:35] <bonez2046> lucent: usb-parallel? is that a hardware device?
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> bojangles: thn run: chmod +x a.out
[06:35] <pigiron> Ebrahem: argh!  I should have said "ls /lib/firmware/ar9271*"
[06:35] <bojangles> pksadiq: it's compiled f90 code
[06:35] <lucent> bonez2046: yeah it's parallel port on one side, and usb on the other, so you can plug old stuff into USB capable computer
[06:36] <lucent> instead of a print server though, just plug it in when you need it or what
[06:36] <bojangles> ActionParsnip: that still isn't changing anything
[06:36] <Gorroth> hi
[06:36] <pigiron> Ebrahem: ... at least I think /lib/firmware is correct... I don't run Ubuntu.
[06:36] <pksadiq> bojangles: fortran?
[06:36] <bojangles> pksadiq: yes, sorry
[06:36] <bonez2046> lucent: well, my wife and boys print to this printer.. on home LAN.. so I need to have it on.. but I guess they COULD send their jobs to it and then come down and switch the printer on
[06:36] <Gorroth> alright, i'm a bit confused here.  how in the heck do i add a "Terminal" icon or something to the kubuntu netbook GUI?
[06:36] <Ebrahem> pigiron, yes one hit, /lib/firmware/ar9271.fw
[06:37] <Gorroth> i found out how to add apps
[06:37] <Gorroth> but it's freakin' confusing
[06:37] <lucent> bonez2046: lights dim when you turn it on? ;)
[06:37] <bonez2046> lucent: no, they are fine..
[06:37] <pigiron> Ebrahem: do you have a /var/log/messages file?
[06:37] <pksadiq> bojangles: try gfortran to compile, did you did so ?
[06:38] <lucent> I'm just kidding, wandering o/t
[06:38] <bojangles> pksadiq: yes, that's how i compiled it
[06:38] <linux_probe> printserver, or get a networkable printer :)
[06:38] <Ebrahem> pigiron, yeah
[06:38] <ActionParsnip> bojangles: is a.out in $HOME?
[06:38] <bojangles> ActionParsnip: no, it's on an ntfs partition where i store all my files
[06:38] <MrAnthrope> But why is the splash screen purple? This seems like a bad decision.
[06:39] <pigiron> Ebrahem: k... what does it say after you "sudo modprobe -r ath9k_htc" and then "sudo modprobe ath9k_htc"?
[06:39] <bojangles> I'm assuming it will run on the linux partition, but it used to not have to be that way (pre-10.10)
[06:40] <pksadiq> bojangles: if it works in linux partition make it executable from a linux partition and copy or dd it back
[06:40] <bonez2046> linux_probe: the purpose in setting up server is to NOT have to buy a new networked printer
[06:40] <Ebrahem> pigiron, registered new interface driver ath9k_hif_usb
[06:40] <linux_probe> didnt see that part
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> bojangles: ahhh, thats why. NTFS is too primitive to store UNIX permissions which is why you are getting issues. If you move it to an Ext3/4 etc partition, it will be fine
[06:40] <bonez2046> linux_probe: no worry
[06:40] <doomgiver> hey guys, i cant get into the ##c++ channel
[06:41] <chid> did you registeR?
[06:41] <doomgiver> it says "cannot send to channel
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> doomgiver: i think you need to register
[06:41] <bojangles> ActionParsnip: this wasn't an issue until i upgraded though
[06:41] <doomgiver> i have to do it in EACH channel?
[06:41] <bojangles> i could run things off external hard drives too
[06:41] <lucent> ActionParsnip: I'd guess that it's set when you mount NTFS to disallow executing programs from that mountpoint? not the permissions issue
[06:42] <lucent> well it could be permissions are forced -x by default
[06:43] <Gorroth> my Acer Aspire One AOD255 arrived today
[06:43] <Gorroth> first thing i did after seeing XP boot up: install kubuntu 10.10
[06:43] <administrator_> hi
[06:43] <pigiron> Ebrahem: no error message?
[06:43] <lucent> Gorroth: you waited to boot XP? sorry to hear that, bro
[06:43] <Gorroth> well actually that was the 3rd thing i guess
[06:43] <Gorroth> i had to go buy an external USB drive since my flash drive didn't work on this.  it locked up the computer for some reason
[06:43] <aeMaeth> xp?
[06:44] <wrektjet> hey all. my webcam is functioning for video but i cant figure out how to get the audio working. it used to work just fine but when I moved some usb devices around it started having problems. when i test the input on multimedia selection it seems to work by making echoing noises but in programs like skype it doesnt
[06:44] <Ebrahem> pigiron, nope
[06:44] <bojangles> pksadiq: i can set the permissions in my linux file system but i lose them when i copy it back to the ntfs partition
[06:44] <Gorroth> lucent: had to make sure the hardware worked before i potentially wasted time trying to install :)
[06:44] <A_New_Server> I'm trying to put a globalmenu on Ubuntu and I found this link on google (http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/wiki/InstallingonUbuntu), for step 3, how do I know which one of those I am using
[06:44] <lucent> wrektjet: System | Perversions | Sound ;  select webcam for input, quit skype, open skype, skype preferences and check everything out
[06:45] <pigiron> Ebrahem: crap... I'm tapped out... I just can't see why it's not firing up.
[06:45] <lucent> lol @ bojangles
[06:45] <lucent> cracks me up
[06:46] <pksadiq> bojangles: after making it executable try copying it back with dd command
[06:46] <lucent> you people... doin' it wrong
[06:46] <lucent> the mount could be forcing default permissions mask
[06:47] <A_New_Server> How do I know if I'm using Karmic Koala, Jaunty Jackalope, Intrepid Ibex or Hardy Heron, also what are those?
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> A_New_Server: lsb_release -c   will tell you
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> A_New_Server: the repo only has up to lucid on so is no use if you are using maverick
[06:49] <bojangles> pksadiq: i'm not sure how to use dd, but either way, i can't really keep copying a file back and forth...it just seems strange that upgrading would force people to migrate files?
[06:49] <A_New_Server> Hmm, having a bigger problem now, my terminal won't start
[06:49] <A_New_Server> I see the "starting terminal" in the bottom when I click it, but then it just disappears
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> A_New_Server: press ALT+F2 and run: xterm
[06:50] <CaneToad> If anyone is using Ubuntu One, if you have ANY filenames in any of your directories, with NON-ASCII filenames, the whole sync fails....rename them to ASCII and it works
[06:50] <A_New_Server> I love you.
[06:50] <pksadiq> bojangles: after making it executable use the command dd if=/path/to/a.out of=/path/to/ntfs/a.out
[06:50] <lucent> CaneToad: thanks, it's been noted before, but yeah what a tricky problem
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> A_New_Server: many do :)
[06:51] <A_New_Server> It says I have lucid, which isn't a listed thing on step 3, is there a way to get around that or change my [whatever that is]?
[06:51] <pksadiq> bojangles: please not that if you use dd command in a rong way , it might mess up your partition
[06:51] <pksadiq> wrong*
[06:51] <pksadiq> note*
[06:51] <bojangles> okay, i'm probably not going to bother trying that then
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> A_New_Server: you can modify the line and replace the release name with the right one
[06:51] <Cyber_Beast> I'm not able to execute... "sudo apt-get update"..... It returns this error.... E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[06:51] <Cyber_Beast> E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
[06:51] <Cyber_Beast>  ... Any IDEA guys?
[06:52] <bojangles> is this a known issue with 10.10?
[06:52] <doomgiver> noob question alert : how do i boot into windows after installing linux? it wont let me (ie, no option in boot menu)
[06:52] <doomgiver> i didnt configure for dual boot
[06:52] <A_New_Server> ActionParsnip, are you serious? Just edit the name and it'll work?
[06:52] <wrektjet> lucent thanks i was messing around in multimedia selection and the place to make the selection was simply in sound input under analog mono
[06:52] <pksadiq> Cyber_Beast: you might have already opened a synaptic
[06:52] <MrAnthrope> Good news! I changed my splash screen! Bad news! I think something is wrong with my graphics!
[06:52] <Cyber_Beast> pksadiq: Nothing is opened... except terminal...
[06:53] <bojangles> pksadiq: thanks for your help...i'll look into this issue some more
[06:53] <pksadiq> Cyber_Beast: somthing else might be being installing on another terminal?
[06:54] <pksadiq> bojangles: k
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> A_New_Server: yes, its like a web address, the server has a Lucid folder so you can just change it]
[06:54] <lucent> wrektjet: I have to do it when I plug in my webcam, and want to use Skype, but it does work after that
[06:55] <shawnboy> Greetings. With meerkat, what's quickest way to playing all multimedia & DVDs? good bad ugly, medibuntu, or what?
[06:55] <MrAnthrope> Okay is there a way to completely uninstall a splash screen and just get the ugly text?
[06:55] <MrAnthrope> I'm getting really frustrated.
[06:55] <shawnboy> MrAnthrope: frustrated at what?
[06:55] <MrAnthrope> And maybe a little bit drunk.
[06:56] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: :O
[06:56] <MrAnthrope> I've been trying to change my splash screen for like 6 hours.
[06:56] <linux_probe> lol
[06:56] <MrAnthrope> I finally changed it. And the graphics are all FUBAR.
[06:56] <MrAnthrope> Like ALLLL fubar.
[06:56] <linux_probe> comment it out >_>
[06:56] <Sn4k3> can anyone help me with ffmpeg
[06:56] <Volkodav> MrAnthrope: Mine just does not change at all
[06:56] <shawnboy> did you first drop to command line from Grub and do a "vbeinfo" to see what your video can handle?
[06:56] <lyj> Hi
[06:57] <A_New_Server> ActionParsnip, so rather than "http://ppa.launchpad.net/globalmenu-team/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
[06:57] <A_New_Server> " I do "http://ppa.launchpad.net/globalmenu-team/ppa/ubuntu lucid main
[06:57] <A_New_Server> "
[06:57] <MrAnthrope> did I first what?
[06:57] <lyj> does anyone know the screensaver in ubuntu?
[06:57] <jshmoe24> @anyone, I tried to install a .deb package through the ubuntu software center but it stalled out and then I went to cancel it and it is just stuck on cancel. I have tried sudo apt-get remove <package name>, sudo dpkg --remove <package name> and it still isnt working
[06:57] <Sn4k3> how to record your screen with FFmpeg ??
[06:57] <lyj> I want to find the one with a green radar scanning
[06:57] <A_New_Server> Also another thing (HOPEFULLY THE LAST >.>), software sources blinks with what looks like the box that prompts for a password and then disappears right after, how can I get it to work?
[06:57] <A_New_Server> (I'm a complete noob :[ )
[06:58] <jshmoe24> Just stays stuck on cancel :(  <-- sadface
[06:58] <shawnboy> MrAnthrope: When you see Grub, hit Esc, read what you have to push to get to command line. Then run "vbeinfo" to see what resolutions your computer will support in that mode.
[06:58] <lyj> Anyone can help me?
[06:58] <MrAnthrope> I don't see any grubs.
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> A_New_Server: exactly
[06:58] <MrAnthrope> There's no dirt in here. It's my bedroom.
[06:59] <jshmoe24> Anyone know how to fix a locked canceling program from ubuntu software center?
[06:59] <shawnboy> MrAnthrope: then make your graphics that size, and be sure they are Mode RGB.
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> !apt-fix | jshmoe24
[06:59] <jshmoe24> thx
[06:59] <jshmoe24> will try and report back, appreciated
[06:59] <MrAnthrope> it just says UBUNTU . . . . .
[07:00] <A_New_Server> Do you have any idea on the other problem? It's odd that it's doing that just like the terminal was
[07:00] <shawnboy> MrAnthrope: I thought you meant Grub 2 wallpaper. nevermind.
[07:00] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: :D
[07:00] <chris0626891> I'm not trying to start a flame-war, but in your guys opinion, what's the best KDE distribution?  The more I read the more "ubuntu" seems to be going away from "conventional" Linux.
[07:00] <MrAnthrope> I have no idea what you are talking about :)
[07:00] <rebirth> hi, i'm trying to install Drawpile using cmake and i am getting the error CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:754 (MESSAGE):   Could NOT find QtCore header
[07:00] <A_New_Server> Actually, EVERYTHING is doing that now, do you think restarting would help or is there a better solution? (Or solution period, not sure if restarting would even work)
[07:00] <shawnboy> Can anyone remind me what the fast-track is to getting multimedia playing in Meerkat? good bad ugly, medibuntu?
[07:01] <lucent> chris0626891: I don't understand why anyone uses KDE, nor have I had an application that forces me to use KDE, ever. so, uh take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:01] <Jordan_U> !ot | chris0626891
[07:02] <wrektjet> lucent not sure what caused the issue. but thanks for putting me in the right  spot. i was wasting lots of time in the multimedia selection
[07:02] <MrAnthrope> Does anyone know how to disable splash?
[07:02] <lucent> shawnboy: medibuntu is not bad, I'd say just take it one codec at a time, if you need support find and install support for it
[07:02] <lucent> wrektjet: no problem, glad you got it figured out
[07:02] <jshmoe24> @ActionParSnip E: The package <packagenamehere> needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[07:03] <jshmoe24> wierd huh
[07:03] <shawnboy> lucent: ok, so add support for mp3, flac, then chase down what packages are required for x.264, etc?
[07:03] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: by splash do you mean that screen(Logo) at the ubuntu startup?
[07:03] <MrAnthrope> Yup.
[07:03] <MrAnthrope> The purple screen that says UBUNTU and is purple and has 5 flashing red/white dots on it.
[07:03] <MrAnthrope> I want it gone.
[07:03] <jshmoe24> I've been using ubuntu for years and havn't seen this. I don't like the ubuntu software center it crashes too much
[07:03] <MrAnthrope> Did I mention it's purple?
[07:03] <shawnboy> lucent: I don't know what to look for when it comes to playing DVDs. honestly I don't remember what I installed to get it working in my previous releases.
[07:03] <Jordan_U> MrAnthrope: Hold shift during boot and select recovery mode from the grub menu.
[07:04] <MrAnthrope> Again about grubs.
[07:04] <MrAnthrope> I will try this thing you say.
[07:04] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: just when your computer starts and boots press and hold SHIFT key   and then press e   and then remove the word quiet    from there and press CTRL+X
[07:05] <jshmoe24> @Actionparsnip, didn't work :(
[07:05] <MrAnthrope> :)
[07:05] <lucent> shawnboy: medibuntu.org details how to get the decryption going
[07:05] <wisevoyager> hello everyone! :D
[07:06] <jshmoe24> in ubuntu software center it is right at the end of installing but I canceled and now it is just stuck there
[07:06] <jshmoe24> Is there a way to force uninstall what has already been installed by the .deb?
[07:07] <pksadiq> jshmoe24: did you try sudo dpkg -r <package>        ?
[07:07] <jshmoe24> Im sure a reboot would do it but that would not teach me much  :(
[07:07] <jshmoe24> yes
[07:07] <jshmoe24> @pksadiq, yes
[07:07] <jshmoe24> its being stuburn
[07:08] <Maahes> will things that send notices via libnotify show up in the OSD notifier?
[07:09] <pksadiq> jshmoe24: did you try sudo dpkg -r --force-all <package>        ?
[07:09] <jshmoe24> let me try thx
[07:09] <Balsaq> MrAnthrope> did that fix work?
[07:09] <jshmoe24> thank you soooo much worked :p
[07:10] <MrAnthrope> Hmm. Holding shift did nothing. It started up as usual. Big purple screen and all.
[07:10] <pksadiq> jshmoe24: Welcome
[07:10] <jshmoe24> @pksadiq, Awesome man
[07:10] <Maahes> I personally like the old splash screens.
[07:10] <pksadiq> jshmoe24: not a man, but a guy ;)
[07:10] <MrAnthrope> I second Maahes.
[07:10] <Gorroth> okay, starting to get the hang of the netbook edition of kubuntu
[07:10] <Balsaq> i just want it too boot up like an ole DOS machine
[07:10] <jshmoe24> :)
[07:11] <pigiron> Ebrahem: did you say it's a DWA-126 ?
[07:11] <jshmoe24> @pksadiq, Awesome guy
[07:11] <Gorroth> don't think i like it as much as the full desktop edition, but i see how it has its merits for this size screen
[07:11] <MrAnthrope> Is there a way to do that, balsaq?
[07:11] <Ebrahem> pigiron, yeah
[07:11] <Maahes> MrAnthrope: I believe there is a way to make grub use the old-style splash screens, but I have been too lazy to do it.
[07:11] <MrAnthrope> I don't know what grub means.
[07:11] <MrAnthrope> Is that the splash screen?
[07:11] <pksadiq> !grub2 | MrAnthrope
[07:11] <Maahes> MrAnthrope: Grub2 its the bootloader for ubuntu. It loads the splashscreen
[07:12] <Balsaq> MrAnthrope>prolly but i havent found it yet, it would be cool, all balck and white with numbers and letters flowing by like it was a test or something...old school.
[07:12]  * Maahes also really hates OSD, but I haven't found a guide for how to remove it.
[07:12] <MrAnthrope> Yes. Instead of big fugly purple crap.
[07:12] <pigiron> Ebrahem: This makes no sense... but I found this from russia... http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://forum.ubuntu.ru/index.php%3Ftopic%3D122845.0&ei=in3jTMfoMoWKlwffuYnkDA&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CBYQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%252207d1:3a10%2522%2Bubuntu%26num%3D100%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D
[07:12] <MrAnthrope> I'm about to uninstall. Or bake a pie. w/e
[07:12] <Balsaq> and then at the very end...a black and white password screen all official looking, then right to desktop.
[07:12] <Maahes> MrAnthrope: This isn't a make it go away permanently, but if you hit Esc while it loads, it goes away.
[07:13] <MrAnthrope> I figured that out when I dropped my beer bottle on my keyboard.
[07:13] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: :D
[07:13] <MrAnthrope> I now have a shrine to the beer bottle for making the fugly purple splash screen of doom go away.
[07:13] <pigiron> Ebrahem: he got it working by downloading, and compiling a RaLink driver... Huh???
[07:13] <Maahes> will things that send notices via libnotify show up in the OSD notifier?
[07:13] <MrAnthrope> So there's no terminal command to just make the splash screen go away?
[07:13] <b0ot> I have a layer 2 switch that I'm connecting my ubuntu box. Is there anyway to put the devices on the switch on different subnets (as a way to seperate broadcast traffic) and then have my ubuntu machine almost as a router and direct traffic across to other devices as needed?
[07:14] <Balsaq> there are so many cool things a computer can do while its booting to desktop, tests, info about hardware, sped tests...would look cool on the way up.
[07:14] <MrAnthrope> As long as it's not purple I don't even care.
[07:14] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: in terminal type sudo chmod +w grub.cfg
[07:14] <Ebrahem> pigiron, I've come across that link and ignored it when i saw he used ralink
[07:14] <MrAnthrope> ye-ah
[07:14] <wisevoyager> Hello everybody, good day! :)
[07:15] <MrAnthrope> That's what I'm talking about, pksadiq.
[07:15] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: sorry, sudo chmod +w /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[07:15] <MrAnthrope> Why did someone not tell me this 6 hours ago?
[07:15] <MrAnthrope> I hate you all.
[07:15] <pigiron> Ebrahem: me too... makes no sense... but there's two folks that appear to have gotten it to work using it... soooo strange!
[07:15] <MrAnthrope> No pie for you.
[07:16] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: Each minute we try to learn Something new, we try to find new ways to the old Destinations ;)
[07:16] <MrAnthrope> Now what do I do, pksadiq? Reboot?
[07:16] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: no, wait
[07:16]  * MrAnthrope waits.
[07:17] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: now do sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub/grub.cfg
[07:17] <MrAnthrope> This has opened a blank  grub.cfg in gedit.
[07:17] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: sorry  sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[07:17] <palint240> hi
[07:17] <pigiron> Ebrahem: if you look at his "lsusb" output, the only wireless device he seems to have matches yours (VendorID:DeviceID = 07d1:3a10)
[07:18] <palint240> spanish ?
[07:18] <MrAnthrope> HAHA
[07:18] <MrAnthrope> "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE"
[07:18] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: Don't care
[07:18] <palint240> Como estan :)
[07:19] <MrAnthrope> :)
[07:19] <palint240> Busco amigos que usen ubuntu
[07:19] <palint240> Para compartir informacion
[07:19] <eraggo> !es | palint240
[07:19] <BlackCoffee> anyone here have trouble using amarok on gnome?or any kde apps on gnome for that matter?sometimes when i use kde's apps,at some point,my desktop layout goes to the defaults and i have to restart the whole thing to recover my theme...
[07:20] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: now below the line ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###   you will see the word quiet somewhere, delete that, and only that
[07:20] <palint240> oh!! ok sorry mi friend :)
[07:20] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: not that line, but *only* that word
[07:21] <palint240> #ubuntu-es
[07:21] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: done?
[07:21] <eraggo> palint240: maybe /join #ubuntu-es ? :D
[07:21] <MrAnthrope> yes :)
[07:22] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: now save the file    CTRL+S
[07:22] <MrAnthrope>  ro   quiet splash
[07:22] <MrAnthrope> should I leave the odd number of spaces?
[07:22] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: delete one space between that, only one enough
[07:22] <MrAnthrope> Done.
[07:22] <danms> hi. is there any way to simulate a middle mouse button click with the keyboard in terminal?
[07:23] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: and save and reboot, please *Don't* change any other values there
[07:23] <jshmoe24> Can anyone help me. I tried installing a .deb through ubuntu software center and it took forever so I decided to hit cancel and now its just stuck on cancel.
[07:23] <MrAnthrope> haha I shall resist the urge.
[07:23] <jshmoe24> I thought I had it fixed but no
[07:23] <pksadiq> jshmoe24: again?
[07:23] <jshmoe24> yes
[07:24] <jshmoe24> it never did fix it
[07:24] <jshmoe24> i thought it did though
[07:24] <pksadiq> jshmoe24: try synaptic, I think that's better
[07:24] <jshmoe24> I know but the package wasn't in there and I was just wanting to install a deb and I doubleclicked on it instead of just using dpkg -i <programname>
[07:25] <jshmoe24> any ideas
[07:25] <jshmoe24> I think dpkg is locked
[07:25] <pksadiq> jshmoe24: kill that app
[07:25] <jshmoe24> one sec
[07:25] <MrAnthrope> Well, that was odd. It started off fine and then ended up loading the splash screen towards the end anyway. lol.
[07:26] <MrAnthrope> those 5 red dots glaring at me like beady eyes.
[07:26] <MrAnthrope> Hey I'm here and I'm purple and you're going to have to deal with me forever and ever amen.
[07:27] <jshmoe24> killed software install center with top and then tried dpkg -i <program> and i get this error --> dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[07:27] <BlackCoffee> i'm using a removable external hard drive merely for media storage on my pc..any way of making it auto-mount on startup?i always have to do it manually
[07:27] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: still ?:(
[07:27] <MrAnthrope> Sincerely, Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[07:27] <MrAnthrope> This is the most progress I've made in 6 hours though, pksadiq.
[07:27] <pkh> this is annoying -- I'm looking for those screen 'widgets' or 'applets' or 'gadgets' that go on the desktop behind the windows...  can't google for it cause I dont' know what we call them...
[07:27] <pksadiq> jshmoe24: some thing else opened again?
[07:27] <chipmink> a link of desktop blackcoffee?
[07:28] <jshmoe24> no
[07:28] <MrAnthrope> I have a link for that I think pkh. gimme a sec.
[07:28] <chipmink> on
[07:28] <pkh> MrAnthrope, cheers
[07:28] <jshmoe24> nothing that would cause it such as synaptic or software or apt-get
[07:28] <jshmoe24> wierd huh
[07:28] <BlackCoffee> chipmink: how's that?
[07:28] <furi> is there anyway to fix this boot problem i've been dealing with for the past week? when i try to boot, it just ends up stopping, with the last two lines being " * Setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". last time i used my comp, i installed an update, along with devilspie, and added a configuration file for gnome-terminal called DesktopTerminal. i purged devilspie, but that didn't fix anything. the original intention was to h
[07:28] <furi> ave a desktop terminal, but all i want now is for my computer to boot correctly, and nobody has managed to successfully help me fix this problem to date.
[07:29] <c4rp3d13m> help, i get 403 error after i chown -R <user> /var/www
[07:29] <chipmink> lemme remember
[07:29] <jshmoe24> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[07:29] <chid> Hi, what's the name for that mail icon on the notification bar?
[07:29] <BlackCoffee> chipmink: you mean adding it directly to the desktop?
[07:29] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: again ready for an hour?
[07:29] <MrAnthrope> pkh I'm positive it was on this website http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/
[07:30] <MrAnthrope> Unfortunately I have pie to make.
[07:30] <pkh> MrAnthrope, cheers -- will have a dig and see what I can find
[07:30] <pksadiq> jshmoe24: something opened already, check in System monitor
[07:30] <jshmoe24> k
[07:30] <jshmoe24> one sec
[07:30] <c4rp3d13m> please help fixing a 403 error
[07:30] <chipmink> yes
[07:31] <MrAnthrope> Stupid pie. Interrupting my Ubuntu splash screen removal time.
[07:32] <MrAnthrope> Thanks for your time, pksadiq!
[07:32] <MrAnthrope> <3 me love you long time
[07:32] <jshmoe24> Idont' know just going to reboot
[07:32] <_vaibhav_> How I can run two applications from single terminal at same time? like $ cvlc vdo1 & cvlc vdo2 should run at same time.
[07:32] <jshmoe24> I feel like a windows user now, rofl <faceslap>
[07:32] <chipmink> has anyone ever used a rar file password cracker siccessfully
[07:32] <pkh> MrAnthrope, managed to get google to give up it's knowledge -- 'conky'
[07:33] <MrAnthrope> lol what?
[07:33] <chipmink> or successfully
[07:33] <chipmink> :)
[07:33] <MrAnthrope> pdf file password remover. not .rar
[07:33] <_vaibhav_> oops its working... :)
[07:34] <furi> is there anyway to fix this boot problem i've been dealing with for the past week? when i try to boot, it just ends up stopping, with the last two lines being " * Setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". last time i used my comp, i installed an update, along with devilspie, and added a configuration file for gnome-terminal called DesktopTerminal. i purged devilspie, but that didn't fix anything. the original intention was to h

[07:35] <chipmink> have you looked in your xconf file furi?  could be a bad driver there
[07:35] <Guest54771> hey folks i need a small help
[07:35] <chipmink> guest don't ask to ask just ask
[07:35] <furi> chipmink, i'm kinda unfamiliar with ubuntu, actually... i wouldn't know where to look in that file
[07:35] <Gurav> chow can i see my linux files on windows partition ? in the same system
[07:36] <ilab> If I'm using a livecd and never mount any hard disks, since the ram is volatile when the computer is powered down the programs and data on the system are completely unrecoverable?
[07:37] <chipmink> ilab no storage nothing saved
[07:37] <pksadiq> !info gnome-splashscreen-manager | MrAnthrope
[07:38] <furi> chipmink, how would i know if a driver is "bad"?
[07:38] <chipmink> anything that does not work right
[07:38] <furi> chipmink, well... it's not like i could really test it, though
[07:38] <nimbiotics> how can i install java under wine?
[07:38] <chipmink> frinstance i had to get correct driver to get twinview working
[07:38] <MrAnthrope> gnome-splashscreen-manager does not show up in my software center.
[07:39] <furi> chipmink, but this is my entire computer not booting
[07:39] <pksadiq> !java | nimbiotics
[07:39] <chipmink> or if you cannot crankup resolution
[07:39] <Jordan_U> ilab: Why do you ask?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: strange reuest. Download the windows installer and run it with wine
[07:39] <pksadiq> nimbiotics: isn't it enough?
[07:39] <furi> MrAnthrope, applications > terminal, enter sudo apt-get gnome-splashscreen-manager
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> pksadiq: its for in wine, that is native linux java
[07:39] <chipmink> yipe
[07:40] <pksadiq> ActionParsnip: k
[07:40] <chipmink> can you reinstall?
[07:40] <MrAnthrope> invalid operation gnome-splashscreen-manager
[07:40] <walt> how do I get 256 colors in urxvt in maverick?
[07:40] <walt> do I have to build from source?
[07:40] <furi> chipmink, is that all that you think would be a solution?
[07:41] <furi> chipmink, what if this doesn't have to do with drivers?
[07:41] <chipmink> in windblows would be to start in safe mode
[07:41] <chipmink> can you get a terminal
[07:41] <chipmink> oh
[07:41] <chipmink> does grub give you options
[07:41] <furi> chipmink, i can get into root terminal
[07:41] <chipmink> as to what kernal to start
[07:41] <furi> chipmink, yes, tried them all
[07:42] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip, pksadiq: Im trying to make it work with wine but the installation simply never ends
[07:42] <JenniferB2> how can I have a window cross two workspaces.. I used to be able to do that.. ? I have two workspaces on the width.. I want my editor to span both workspaces.. :(
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> nimbiotics: i'd ask in #winehq it may help
[07:42] <furi> chipmink, anyways, i couldn't reinstall if i wanted to, for some reason, my ubuntu livecd isn't starting up right. i'm on an xubuntu disc right now
[07:43] <nimbiotics> ActionParsnip: thanks for the tip
[07:43] <MrAnthrope> pksadiq gnome-splashscreen-manager is already the newest version.
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> JenniferB2: have it unmaximized and stretch the app
[07:43] <Gurav> how can i see my linux files on windows partition ? in the same system
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: if its not ext2 or ext3 you can't
[07:44] <pksadiq> MrAnthrope: in terminal type sudo gnome-splashscreen-manager
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: if the linux partition is ext2 or ext3 then you can use www.fs-driver.org
[07:44] <JenniferB2> ActionParsnip: not working :(
[07:44] <MrAnthrope> Oh yeah, this guy.
[07:44] <MrAnthrope> Doesn't work.
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: default in lucid and maverick is ext4 which isn't accessible
[07:45] <tirtavium> hhaha
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> !dualhead | JenniferB2
[07:45] <MrAnthrope> Pie time.
[07:46] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: this is entirely microsofts fault, the layouts for the filesystem is freely available to them yet its not in their OS. Uite funnily proprietary NTFS is fully readable and writable by linux despite the definitions been hidden
[07:47] <Gurav> thanks actionparsnip but i too feel linux is much far better then windows . in certain aspects
[07:47] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: true and vice versa :)
[07:48] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: the guys in ##windows may know something
[07:48] <pksadiq> Gurav: try http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
[07:49] <chipmink> furi look at file sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.fonf
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> pksadiq: ext2/3 from what I'm reading there
[07:50] <chipmink> that will open xconfigure file in an editor
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> chipmink: gksudo for gedit. Sudo is not tobe used for gui apps
[07:50] <chipmink> oh
[07:50] <chipmink> works ok though
[07:50] <chipmink> what does it do?
[07:51] <chipmink> wrong that is
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> chipmink: running gui apps with sudo will change the ownership of .ICEauthority to root and the user will get issues
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> !gksudo | chipmink
[07:51] <chipmink> thx
[07:51] <ActionParsnip> chipmink: in kde it's kdesu
[07:52] <chipmink> k
[07:52] <chipmink> i am iin gnome
[07:52] <Cyber_Beast> when I run "sudo apt-get update" .... terminal returns a message... Media change: please insert the disc labeled
[07:52] <Cyber_Beast>  'Ubuntu 10.10 _Maverick Meerkat_ - Release i386 (20101007)'
[07:52] <Cyber_Beast> in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter
[07:52] <Cyber_Beast>   ... what's up with that?
[07:52] <FloodBot2> Cyber_Beast: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:52] <Gurav> one thig more that is there any way that i can delete the files from linux and they can't be recoverd anyhow ? is this possible
[07:52] <APERSON> Cyber_Beast, you have the cd enabled in your software sources
[07:53] <ActionParsnip> Cyber_Beast: open software centre and untick the CD as a repo. Also please don't flood like that
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Cyber_Beast: or you can edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment the top line out by adding a hash symbol to the start of the line
[07:54] <ActionParsnip> Cyber_Beast: both do the same thing
[07:54] <pksadiq> ActionParsnip: did you mean about ext4 partition?
[07:55] <Cyber_Beast> ActionParsnip: I coudn't understand what to comment at the top of sources.list
[07:55] <ActionParsnip> pksadiq: both fs-driver and the link you gave only provide access to ext2 and ext3. Lucid and maverick use ext4 by default
[07:55] <pksadiq> ActionParsnip: what about http://www.soluvas.com/read-browse-explore-open-ext2-ext3-ext4-partition-filesystem-from-windows-7/
[07:56] <furi> chipmink, all it has is two input devices, being "generic keyboard" and "configured mouse"
[07:56] <ActionParsnip> Cyber_Beast: to comment, add a hash character: # ,to the line listing the cd as a repo, save the new file then run: sudo apt-get update ,and it should be smooth
[07:57] <ActionParsnip> pksadiq: worth a try
[07:58] <chipmink> no monitor or screen declared
[07:58] <ActionParsnip> Cyber_Beast: at it to the left of the line, the package system will ignore it and if needed you can re-add it
[07:58] <Gurav> one thig more that is there any way that i can delete the files from linux and they can't be recoverd anyhow ? is this possible
[07:59] <JenniferB2> my meny has disappeared .. how can I restart it ?
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: you could use dd to output zeros to a partition or disk
[07:59] <furi> is there anyway to fix this boot problem i've been dealing with for the past week? when i try to boot, it just ends up stopping, with the last two lines being " * Setting console screen modes and fonts" then "^[[12;2R". last time i used my comp, i installed an update, along with devilspie, and added a configuration file for gnome-terminal called DesktopTerminal. i purged devilspie, but that didn't fix anything. the original intention was to h

[07:59] <ActionParsnip> !resetpanel | JenniferB2
[08:00] <JenniferB2> defaults ?
[08:00] <JenniferB2> i just want it back
[08:00] <JenniferB2> it is not there
[08:00] <icarus-c> JenniferB2, run gnome-panel
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> JenniferB2: if you right click the panel you can add what you wish
[08:01] <JenniferB2> Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.
[08:01] <JenniferB2> quit ?
[08:01] <furi> sudo killall gnome-panel
[08:01] <furi> gnome-panel
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> JenniferB2: press alt+f2 and run: killall gnome-panel ,then wait ;)
[08:01] <furi> or what ActionParsnip said
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> furi: it will restrat on its own :)
[08:02] <furi> ActionParsnip, yeah, kinda forgot
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> furi: got your back bro
[08:02] <icarus-c> or gnome-panel --replace
[08:04] <BlackCoffee> anyone here using linux mint?huh?
[08:04] <sosaited> That reminds me, my panel has been acting weird as well. After every restart, the Network Manager applet either goes to the left to my custom launchers, or extreme right. And when I open Multiget, its panel icon is never on the right where it should, it is on the left side. Is this some config problem or a bug?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> BlackCoffee: mint is offtopic here
[08:04] <BlackCoffee> yeah,i figured
[08:04] <BlackCoffee> but there's gotta be a couple of outsiders lurking around
[08:06] <BlackCoffee> dam...i don't wanna go to spotchat
[08:08] <room> hey,guys,anyone familiar with ctags?
[08:10] <Gurav> actionparsnip i didnt got u , i mean to ask that is there any way of removing the files or deleting in such way that they cant be recovered due to security reasons .
[08:11] <chipmink> gurav a disk scrubber perhaps?
[08:11] <ascorbus> hi, everyone! what's wrong with empathy? i get a network error with icq. help anyone?
[08:14] <crazier_> hello
[08:14] <helloworld> helloworld
[08:14] <Gurav> chipmink how can i use it any ref
[08:16] <Bruce_Wayne> I want to add stuff into my ISO and also want to keep it bootable. (The same task which ULTRAISO software performs into windows.) How can I do it?
[08:16] <madurax86> hello
[08:17] <Rickardo1> I installed sm-mta . but I cant find the config file.. where is it located?
[08:17] <Bruce_Wayne> exe: I want to add all 10.10 isos into ubuntu 10.10 bootable iso image.. and them write into a DVD.
[08:17] <madurax86> my laptop hangs at usb device identification(not always, only on fresh boots--turning it on after a long time)
[08:18] <chipmink> gurav  is it just files or the whole disk?
[08:18] <madurax86> im using generic-pae
[08:18] <chipmink> most of what i see nuke harddrive
[08:18] <madurax86> can anyone help?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: wassup?
[08:19] <shomon> hi, is there a generic page for troubleshooting sound in ubuntu 10.10?
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> !sound | shomon
[08:19] <shomon> thanks ActionParsnip !
[08:19] <chipmink> boot in cd then delete partitions and it will format during install
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> shomon: np man
[08:19] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: my laptop hangs at usb device identification(not always, only on fresh boots--turning it on after a long time)
[08:20] <Dante__> server irc://irc.hackthissite.org:7000
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: with all kernels you have?
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Dante__: prefix with a / character
[08:20] <Dante__> ah i see lol first timer with ircs lol
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> Dante__: you also don't need the irc:// bit
[08:21] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: yes i have tested 2.6.35 and 2.6.36
[08:21] <Bruce_Wayne> Anyways, I got package.. It's called "ISO MASTER" to edit iso images.
[08:21] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: this is an asus k42jc
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: got the latest bios?
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> !remaster | Bruce_Wayne
[08:22] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: yes
[08:22] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: windows 7 doesnt have any problem
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: try setting bios to failsafe defaults. I'd log a bug
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: windows is a different OS with different support
[08:24] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: ok :) thanks im going to install amd64 instead of pae would it work?
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: are there posts with users with the same asus thing having the same issue?
[08:24] <Gurav> Its only files dear like some spreedsheet and some documents or to the most the folder one
[08:24] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: i didnt find any
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: its a different kernel so worth a try I guess, it's free :)
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: installing the 64bit will require a free install, the pae will not
[08:26] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: yes, most of the users having the same thing would just use the amd64
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: *fresh not free
[08:27] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: yes im going to try, i do depend on ubuntu for alot of work so i guess its worth a try
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: i'd also test ram. If it only works after being off a while it may be heat related
[08:27] <room> hey,what is GStaticMutex ,how can I find its definition ,thanks
[08:28] <icarus-c> room, http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-Threads.html#GStaticMutex
[08:28] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: i should too. someone said that bios is not powering certain devices due to powersave so when detecting those the kernel might hang
[08:28] <icarus-c> room, learn to google by the way
[08:29] <room> icarus-c: thank you
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: could disable acpi to see if it helps
[08:30] <chipmink> aside from delete gurav or erasing the files copy an different file onto that filename
[08:31] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: ok, testing should be scheduled i guess, since this only happens once a day when i boot the laptop for the first time plus i can bypass this hang if i stay on the grub menu for a long time like 10-12 seconds
[08:31] <chipmink> dont know if that will show in ext 3 logs though
[08:31] <Gurav> then chipmink any other alternative way to hide such stuffs
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: that lot should keep you busy for an hour or so ;)
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: you can put a period at the start of file and folder names to hide them
[08:32] <Callum__>  is Empathy's MSN connecting broken for anyone else? the fix here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10003289&postcount=17 is already applied but it still doesn't want to connect
[08:32] <Callum__> password is right and everything, it just says "Network error"
[08:32] <chipmink> how about pgp?
[08:32] <chipmink> encrypt
[08:33] <Callum__> aMSN works on the same machine, its just empathy...
[08:33] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: :) thanks for the help
[08:33] <DjAngo23> I installed 10.10 recently, but i setup a crypt on my whole hard drive. Is it possible to stop using the crypt ?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Callum__: is there a bug logged for it?
[08:33] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: btw have you ever heard of a similar problem?
[08:33] <Callum__> ActionParsnip: no idea
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: np man
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: not really no, sorry
[08:34] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: ok :)
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> Callum__: worth checking the bugs first, it may be a known issue
[08:34] <Callum__> okay
[08:35] <Gurav> actionparsnip can u tell me any illustration of guide to do so as i didnt understand your saying and chipmink i tried encrypted but that all are recoverable i need something unrecoverable after removing or deletion
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Callum__: there also may be a ppa with a later version which may help
[08:35] <Callum__> okay
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | Callum__
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: for example, to wipe /dev/sdd. Use: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd
[08:36] <Callum__> it doesn't even try to connect, I press "reconnect" and a split second later it dies with that error
[08:36] <DASPRiD> or use shred /dev/sdd
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: and it will write the entire disk with 0s
[08:36] <pretender2010> has anyone sucessfully installed convirt on ubuntu 10.04 or know of a good kvm gui front end web based gui
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: if you are super paranoid you can repeatonce it finishes and use /dev/random instead of /dev/zero
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> !kvm | pretender2010
[08:37] <DjAngo23> I installed 10.10 recently, but i setup a crypt on my whole hard drive. Is it possible to stop using the crypt ?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: or what DASPRiD said
[08:37] <chipmink> gurav what brand of drive is it?
[08:38] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[08:38] <silv3r_m00n> I need to resize 54 images
[08:38] <silv3r_m00n> is there a quick way to do ?
[08:38] <ucenik06> ?
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Gurav: the ultimate boot cd has a tool to flip each bit 5 times which is suitable for DoD
[08:38] <pksadiq> silv3r_m00n: How do you do if with one file?
[08:38] <ucenik06> WTF IS THIS ?

[08:45] <rigved> jg_1979: it's warning. u can ignore it
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> jg_1979: the tip is the word "warning"

[08:45] <kazagistar> ok, someone explain to me why firefox is horrible
[08:46] <xuekan> !firefox
[08:46] <sosaited> kazagistar: Can you explain first why do you think firefox is horrible?
[08:46] <kazagistar> I need to load a page twice for it to load
[08:46] <madurax86> ActionParsnip: i've updated it to version 210 but now 210 is not there at asus site, they now have only 209
[08:46] <kazagistar> it is now, it never happened before
[08:46] <ActionParsnip> kazagistar: chews ram like a fat kid at a pie eating party

[08:46] <ActionParsnip> madurax86: could try the 209, backup the current one though
[08:47] <odb|fidel_> kazagistar: try deleting your cache - could help solving the firefox issue
[08:47] <madurax86> may be they found that 210 is faulty
[08:47] <sosaited> ActionParsnip: I have 62 tabs open up right now, and memory usage is ~200MB. In Chromium it gets to that with 15 tabs.
[08:47] <madurax86> i'll try brb
[08:47] <ActionParsnip> kazagistar: the browser is one process so a bad tab will kill the browser, chromium uses a process for each tab so you can kill tabs if they get stuck
[08:48] <sosaited> jg_1979: As far as I know, that is the normal behaviour/default view

[08:49] <kazagistar> yeah, I misspoke my question, I did not mean a troll, I have an actual problem
[08:50] <ActionParsnip> sosaited: also we use chromium in. Lubuntu because it doesntchew ram
[08:50] <sosaited> kazagistar: Try adding Google SSL search addon to see if that is any better. Or backup your profile, and reinstall

[08:53] <rautamiekka> replicasex: Have you tried using 7-Zip or WinRAR on one of the packs to see if it's supported ?
[08:53] <pretender2010> can anyone recommend a front end or web gui for kvm
[08:54] <sosaited> jg_1979:  Do you always run it via terminal?. Did you tried running from the System > Administration > System Monitor if that saves it?. And btw when you exit it (when run from terminal), do you get some further text/warning?
[08:54] <replicasex> rautamiekka, winrar?  Really? the default archive package manager seems to do fine I just want to do it all en masse
[08:55] <jg_1979> sosaited: no i always run from menus. but i just try to open it from terminal because i may see the erorrs from outputs ...
[08:55] <bank0> pretender2010,  !kvm
[08:55] <bank0> there is a URL in that link that mentions one, pretender2010
[08:55] <rautamiekka> replicasex: Well, any decompressor. Just used these two as likely ones supporting it.
[08:55] <pretender2010> where's the link
[08:55] <bank0> !kvm
[08:55] <bank0> that url :)

[08:56] <rocket16> When I try to install 'Word of the day' applet for GNOME, I get a command "CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gnomewotdapplet' cvs co gnomewotdapplet " from http://gnomewotdapplet.sourceforge.net/releases.php . To install it, do we need to type the command in terminal?
[08:57] <rocket16> When I type it, it returns an error, that connection is refused.
[08:57] <rocket16> So, where can I find a similar applet?

[09:01] <bank0> rautamiekka, i was hoping someone would answer your question.. im interested too
[09:02] <sosaited> jg_1979:  The only other solution I can think of that might work for you is to "Remove Completely" gnome-system-monitor from synaptic, and then install it again.
[09:02] <rocket16> rautamiekka: I already have it installed. But thanks.
[09:03] <jg_1979>  sosaited: is it dangerous to do that ? im think in g to re-install it ?
[09:03] <dfcnvt> nobody is responding in either #nvidia & #xorg .. I was wondering if any of you here may know what to do with xorg.conf right away... Here's the file. http://pastebin.com/vsX36qMk
[09:04] <dfcnvt> fyi, EDID is not support, only CRT monitor
[09:04] <sosaited> jg_1979: Oh no wait wait
[09:04] <sosaited> jg_1979: I just checked, it removes "ubuntu-desktop" with it. Which is a complete disaster.
[09:04] <rautamiekka> rocket16: I mean like a GUI version for easier/faster use.
[09:05] <rautamiekka> What solution should I use to allow multiple people to remotely login to an Ubuntu machine and use its programs, like in Window$ 7 via Remote Desktop after telling the OS to permit that ?
[09:05] <sosaited> jg_1979: At least if you restart your computer after that, before installing it back first.
[09:05] <dfcnvt> can you tell me what is wrong with this config? otherwise i'd be appreciated if this file is edited manually.
[09:05] <jg_1979> sosaited: but
[09:05] <jg_1979> sosaited: when you re-imnstall it doen not removes...
[09:05] <sosaited> jg_1979: so a reinstall is better, rather than complete removal (which removes the config filkes
[09:06] <jg_1979> sosaited: ah so yes. if it is not removes the config files i will tryit...
[09:06] <sosaited> jg_1979: Reinstall is, uninstall, and then install again. Won't affect ubuntu-desktop
[09:07] <MrsB> rautamiekka: x11 forwarding or vnc are probably easiest but if its across the internet it will be slow for either of them. You could use simple ssh if theyre happy with cli
[09:07] <jg_1979> sosaited: i just need to ask something else. i use gnome. but i don't use the panels. so i can not use also features like alt+f2 . is there any point for me to use gnome ?
[09:08] <sosaited> jg_1979: For future reference, never uninstall anything that says it HAS to remove ""ubuntu-desktop" too. OR if you do want to take the risk, don't restart your computer BEFORe you install "ubuntu-desktop" back again. I once did it, and I couldn't boot into my system. Had to recover by shrooting
[09:08] <rautamiekka> MrsB: It must be similar to Remote Desktop. It will be used across Net but that's not problem.
[09:08] <Guest49093> MrsB, have you tried teamviewer
[09:09] <jg_1979> sosaited: im not going to try to re-install system monitor...
[09:09] <sosaited> jg_1979: gnome is not JUST about the panels and shortcuts. A lot other programs are dependent/made for gnome.
[09:09] <jg_1979> sosaited: so it is better for me to use fluxbox ...
[09:10] <MrsB> rautamiekka: if some of them are going to be windows or mac users then its probably best to stick with vnc, if theyre linux users then x11forwarding or vnc. There is a better one called nx (freenx) but I have never used it so can't report how much better/more difficult it is.
[09:10] <MrsB> Guest49093: nope, what is it?
[09:10] <sosaited> jg_1979: No don't be that cautious. Reinstall will be fine. I did it first on my system just now to confirm
[09:11] <rautamiekka> MrsB: Think most users, like me, would be Win users. I'll see about the NX. Ty, will report back later.
[09:11] <Guest49093> MrsB, works like vnc??? google it
[09:11] <jg_1979> sosaited:  no i will not try it. im waiting for rematsreys to backup my system. after that i can try to re-istall.
[09:11] <jg_1979> sosaited: remastersys new version...
[09:12] <sosaited> jg_1979: Fluxbox is just a Window Manager. Gnome is a desktop environment
[09:12] <jg_1979> sosaited: anyway i did not had understand the differences desktop manager and window manager yet
[09:12] <MrsB> rautamiekka: you could also use virtual machines, using virtualbox you can enable vrdp whch uses the rdp protocol underneath the os. Its an option.
[09:13] <rautamiekka> MrsB: How would that differ from using NX for multi-user concurrent sessions ?
[09:14] <rautamiekka> And are you talking about installing Win or Linux into VirtualBox ?
[09:15] <MrsB> rautamiekka: it would probably use more resources on the host. The vrdp is part of virtualbox so you can install any OS on top of it. You can manage the VM's remotely, starting, stopping etc
[09:16] <MrsB> rautamiekka: Im not sure how secure it would be to open it to the internet is the only thing, I would think you could set a login tho. I'll let you research it ;)

[09:21] <rautamiekka> MrsB: Wouldn't that take lots of RAM and CPU +
[09:21] <MrsB> rautamiekka: I would think vnc or nx are more what you are looking for probably
[09:21] <Rizzo_> hey
[09:21] <sosaited> He was dumb enough to not realize you can see most IPs of IRC users by one click

[09:23] <sosaited> Madpilot, Yeah that too :)
[09:24] <rautamiekka> sosaited: So yeah, his attempts would had been pretty much wasted. But let's back to the topic ...
[09:24] <Rizzo_> so many questions i dont even know where to start
[09:24] <Guest49093> i have an ubuntu server that can only receive certain data based on its static, public IP..  i need to use multiple (like two) ISPs to provide internet and i want that single PUBLIC IP to prevail, not change is it possible
[09:24] <rautamiekka> Rizzo_: Make a list of them and ask in the order you have them in the list.
[09:25] <rautamiekka> Rizzo_: No joke, that helps you keep your mind together if you really have much to ask.
[09:25] <aLeSD> hi all
[09:26] <aLeSD> I am tring to install 10.10 x86 on my netbook. But parted_server crashes and I can't go on. Someone knopw a solution ?
[09:26] <aytekin> how can i detect whether mysql is installed on ubuntu
[09:26] <aytekin> any idea?
[09:26] <chid> hi, with 10.10 does there exist a list of programs that integrate into the Mail icon, eg. empathy, pidgin, lifrea
[09:27] <Madpilot> aLeSD, installing off a CD or some other way?
[09:27] <Guest49093> i have an ubuntu server that can only receive certain data based on its static, public IP..  i need to use multiple (like two) ISPs to provide internet and i want that single PUBLIC IP to prevail, not change is it possible
[09:27] <Guest49093> any idea
[09:27] <Jordan_U> Guest49093: No, specifically what you have asked for is not likely possible using different ISPs. Why can't you use dynamic DNS rather than a static ip? Why do you have two ISPs?
[09:28] <aytekin> how can i detect whether mysql is installed on ubuntu
[09:28] <chid> aytekin: do you mean mysql or mysqld?
[09:28] <aytekin> mysql
[09:28] <aLeSD> Madpilot: do you know if with an usb hard-disk it works ?
[09:28] <chid> you could try locate mysql
[09:28] <Guest49093> Jordan_U,  for backup cos it has to be up and running at all times
[09:28] <chid> which is probably the silly way
[09:29] <rOOkie> hi
[09:29] <chid> can't you check your ubuntu software center?
[09:29] <Madpilot> aLeSD, it should, I haven't ever installed via USB key myself though.
[09:29] <Guest49093> Jordan_U, sometime the internet around here are pretty slow
[09:30] <aLeSD> Madpilot the problem is that I haven't external cd on my netbook
[09:30] <aytekin> is there any kind of command line to detect if mysql is installed or not
[09:30] <aLeSD> Madpilot: is there anbother ways to install it by usb key ?
[09:30] <chid> aytekin: can't you just type mysql in the terminal?
[09:30] <chid> what happens there?
[09:31] <aytekin> i didnt bu i ll try
[09:31] <Madpilot> aLeSD, pretty common for netbooks, but I've only done CD installs myself.
[09:31] <chid> oh my gosh
[09:31] <chid> try it
[09:31] <Madpilot> ubottu, install | aLeSD
[09:31] <Madpilot> aLeSD, check some of the URLs the bot just gave us ^^

[09:34] <dagon666> Im trying to install apache via apt-get on a machine which doesnt have internet access. Is it possible to create only a list of dependencies for this package on this machine and use this list on other machine which has internet access to download all dependencies automatically ?
[09:34] <chid> dagon666: I believe it is, you can use apt-get download on the other machine
[09:35] <chid> oh, wait the machine without internet access doesn't have a list of dependencies does it?
[09:35] <mauro125> how long does it usually take to install 10.10, there
[09:35] <mauro125> theres no status bar
[09:35] <dagon666> chid: how should I prepare the package list in the first place ?
[09:36] <chid> mauro125: when I installed it, it took forever, mainly because I was repartitioning my drive (and it took ~7min to get the parition table of my disk)
[09:36] <chid> dagon666: I'm not sure, I've never done it before
[09:36] <mauro125> I gave 5gig to swap, and the rest for /
[09:36] <dagon666> chid: :D
[09:37] <mauro125> and clicked on allow to download updates and all that
[09:37] <chid> oh
[09:37] <chid> that took forever too
[09:37] <mauro125> haha
[09:37] <chid> I had a 10kb/s connection
[09:38] <chid> actually my connection goes to 1.5MB/s
[09:38] <mauro125> lol
[09:38] <chid> but the server it chose, the default, us.archives.ubuntu.com
[09:38] <chid> is terribly slow for me
[09:38] <chid> so that might be another issue, but too late now
[09:38] <mauro125> i see
[09:38] <chid> au.archive.ubuntu.com < was super fast
[09:38] <chid> yeah, mauro125  it gave me like a 3hr estimated time to finish installing :O
[09:39] <mauro125> there was no option to select server or did i somehow missed it
[09:39] <chid> just the downloading process, anyway, silly store, just sit and wait
[09:39] <chid> Yeah, I missed it too
[09:39] <DjAngo23> I installed 10.10 recently, but i setup a crypt on my whole hard drive. Is it possible to stop using the crypt ?
[09:39] <chid> DjAngo23: what program did you use to crypt it? truecrypt?
[09:40] <chid> or the built in one
[09:40] <yao_ziyuan> does ubuntu still have fglrx?
[09:40] <chid> Oh, DjAngo23  do you mean encrypt your home directory?
[09:40] <chid> yao_ziyuan: from apt-get it stilldoes
[09:41] <chid> not sure how it works though
[09:41] <chid> actually, scratch that. it probably doesn't
[09:42] <mauro125> i guess i'll leave it overnight/morning

[09:45] <Linuxsapien> chid shame.. it should be easy, but seems not
[09:45] <chid> yeah I agree
[09:45] <Linuxsapien> im sure there is a preferences tool for it
[09:45] <Linuxsapien> but cant find
[09:45] <Linuxsapien> 1400
[09:46] <chid> there's a program called notification-preferences or something, but that doesn't change anything, it seems like it's a custom job
[09:46] <Linuxsapien> aaah
[09:46] <chid> also, I'm not sure if there's anything like this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD
[09:46] <chid> I mean, about that on this page
[09:47] <DjAngo23> chid, well when i start the computer up, i see the logo and i have to type a passphrase
[09:47] <Linuxsapien> maybe can find something onthe software center
[09:47] <DjAngo23> so it's truecrypt i think
[09:47] <DjAngo23> It's not only my home dir
[09:48] <chid> take a look at this Linuxsapien http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/finally-easy-way-to-customize-notify.html
[09:48] <chid> you can change the timeout
[09:48] <Linuxsapien> thanks you chid  :)
[09:48] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, the compiz config settings manager shows 9 available mouse buttons I can select for the mouse actions for the different effects. But how do I know which button is which?
[09:48] <chid> DjAngo23: I'm not sure if there's a simple way (off the top of my head) to remove the encryption, but the 'obvious' way is to make a backup and repartition the home drive
[09:49] <chid> actually, that assumes that your home drive is a different partition
[09:49] <chid> sorry, I've never partition encryption on linux, but you'll probably need to somehow find out how your encryption is configured
[09:50] <chid> oh Linuxsapien, the tutorial uses notify-send
[09:50] <chid> and you have to insteall the libnotify-bin package
[09:50] <chid> install*, yeah, I just installed that a few hours ago, to get irssi-libnotify working :D
[09:51] <SmokeyD> is there any way to see if pressing a mouse button is registered by compiz/xorg/what ever and how that button is called?
[09:51] <chid> oh, Linuxsapien  if you actually reached the bottom of the blog post there's a link to this, a gui for the configuration http://www.webupd8.org/2010/05/new-notifyosdconfiguration-version-gui.html
[09:51] <Linuxsapien> chid does it do what we want :)
[09:51] <Linuxsapien> ahh ok :)
[09:51] <Linuxsapien> thats the one!! Ive seen it, I musta lost it haha
[09:52] <chid> hehe, :D
[09:55] <dfcnvt> I changed the configuration in /etc/X11/xorg.conf & realised it wasn't paid any attention to it.. Is there another config somewhere need to change?
[09:58] <andrey_drupal> views
[09:58] <andrey_drupal> views?
[09:58] <ox_theman> what up
[09:59] <SmokeyD> Ok, I figured out that with xev I can see which mouse buttons are pressed. It turns out that I have buttons 1-5,8,9,10 and 13. So buttons 6,7,11 and 12 aren't present. But compiz only shows Buttons 1-9. And there also buttons 6 and 7 seem to not be present. Any clues how I can make compiz add buttons 10 and 13?
[09:59] <Yancho> hi. can i install the netbook version on a pentium m ? or it has to be an atom to install ?
[10:00] <chid> Yancho: I believe you can install it on a pentium m
[10:01] <Yancho> will it be better performance then normal ubuntu ?
[10:05] <rigved> Yancho: just make sure that you ahve atleast a decent graphics card (even if it's an integrated one), otherwise Gnome will not start properly (you'll get a blank screen)!!!

[10:26] <no--name> Why is that when I am playing a song on Youtube with Firefox or Chrome and doing stuff in other tabs it sometimes makes the the flash video crash and turn into a grey screen?, I don't like it when my music ends halfway through :(
[10:27] <frW> elky, It's IRC, cmon.
[10:27] <elky> !guidelines
[10:27] <no--name> I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
[10:27] <perscitus1> How do i install Unity to desktop?
[10:27] <magentar> because flash is a pile of bugs
[10:27] <ewook> frW: and a 'family-enabled' channel :)
[10:27] <frW> ewook, I swear to my family
[10:27] <chid> no--name: are you aware you can play youtube videos in vlc
[10:28] <chid> frW: this isn't a point to be argued over
[10:28] <no--name> chid: too much trouble.
[10:28] <chid> It's not really
[10:28] <perscitus1> How do i install Unity to desktop?
[10:28] <chid> just copy the url and run vlc adress
[10:28] <chid> address*
[10:28] <no--name> I think I will just switch to 32-bit Ubuntu.
[10:28] <chid> perscitus1: what ubuntu version?
[10:28] <frW> chid, then ban me
[10:28] <perscitus1> lastest
[10:28] <jussi> perscitus1: please dont repeat. and sudo apt-get install unity
[10:28] <frW> I can argue over whatever I like
[10:28] <Ginbuntu> can some one recommend me a lighter browser?  Is there a way to have mergeant in ubuntu, I can't find it in repositories?
[10:30] <perscitus1> Unity is basedon gnome-shell?
[10:30] <jrib> uni4dfx: the patches get applied when you build the package (they're in the debian directory)
[10:31] <uni4dfx> jrib are you sure? even when i do make-kpkg for the kernel?
[10:31] <jrib> !kernel > uni4dfx
[10:31] <jrib> ubottu: I'm not sure about make-kpkg
[10:31] <a2z> exit
[10:31] <jrib> erm, uni4dfx: I'm not sure about make-kpkg but follow ubottu's link
[10:32] <a2z> exit
[10:33] <Krishnandu> hey guys I wrote a c program, just a hello-world program, now I want to run a.out from GUI, what can I do such that if I double click the file it will run in terminal??

[10:34] <ExtremeDevilz> Hello
[10:35] <ExtremeDevilz> using Ubuntu Netbook love the new desktop design is it available for desktop ?
[10:35] <uni4dfx> jrib well the link only says that apt-get source will also download the patches, but nothing about applying them
[10:35] <no--name> How do I run 32-bit version of Firefox or Chrome on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit?
[10:35] <uni4dfx> no--name why would you do that
[10:35] <jrib> uni4dfx: it tells you how to build the kernel, presumably warning you if you need to do any extra steps to apply patches
[10:35] <DASPRiD> ./firefox
[10:35] <ExtremeDevilz> no--name, it is already installed
[10:35] <no--name> When I run the .deb files it says wrong architecture i386
[10:35] <ExtremeDevilz> using Ubuntu Netbook love the new desktop design is it available for desktop ?
[10:36] <no--name> uni4dfx: so I can use 32-bit flash
[10:36] <chid> ExtremeDevilz: you can just install the netbook edition on desktop
[10:36] <uni4dfx> no--name that's silly, install the 64bit flash instead
[10:36] <no--name> ExtremeDevilz: how do I open it?
[10:36] <no--name> uni4dfx: but it sucks though :P
[10:36] <sipior> Krishnandu: you would make a launcher icon that starts the terminal as "gnome-terminal -e <your program name>", for example.
[10:36] <uni4dfx> no--name not really
[10:37] <slax00> hello how can I remove a usb whit mode secure plz?
[10:37] <no--name> uni4dfx: It crashes when you are doing stuff in other tabs, it doesn't respond to mouse clicks if you enable compiz.
[10:37] <ExtremeDevilz> ok another program my netbook keys are not working on ubuntu I cant use my function key thus I cant adjust my volume etc
[10:37] <jrib> uni4dfx: I've just never used make-kpkg specifically so I can't tell you for sure
[10:37] <Krishnandu> sipior, Thanks.....thanks a lot, what if I create a shell file such that I can run it on all PC's without making preference changes??
[10:37] <uni4dfx> no--name are you using the latest version
[10:37] <Monotoko> hi guys...question about webmin, it won't work if i log in as a normal user...does it need root?
[10:37] <ExtremeDevilz> using asus px1001 netbook
[10:37] <uni4dfx> jrib ok thanks anyway :)
[10:37] <ExtremeDevilz> can anyone help
[10:37] <no--name> uni4dfx: yup
[10:38] <chid> Krishnandu: create a shell file that contains gnome-terminal -e "your command"
[10:38] <uni4dfx> no--name strange, it works perfectly here
[10:38] <no--name> uni4dfx: this problem has existed for months
[10:38] <chid> that'll make it work on all computers that have gnome
[10:38] <no--name> uni4dfx: do you know how I can run a 32-bit firefox and chrome?
[10:38] <chid> maybe an update would fix it? no--name
[10:38] <ectospasm> no--name: must be your machine, I have no issues on my 64bit 10.10 system
[10:38] <slax00> how can I remove a usb in linux with mode secure?
[10:38] <uni4dfx> no--name dpkg -i --force-architecture package.deb
[10:38] <ExtremeDevilz> Question : Netbook : Asus Netbook 1001PX unable to use function key thus cant access my volume key etc
[10:38] <Krishnandu> chid, sipior I followed your instruction, but the terminal goes away....how can I stop it?? Thr is no getch() here in linux
[10:39] <no--name> uni4dfx: thanks
[10:39] <chid> getch() ?
[10:39] <chid> getcharachter you mean
[10:39] <kazagistar> Krishnandu: I believe it is getchar()
[10:39] <sipior> Krishnandu: you'll need to include curses.h for getch.
[10:39] <ExtremeDevilz> Question : Netbook : Asus Netbook 1001PX unable to use function key thus cant access my volume key etc :(
[10:39] <Krishnandu> chid, I need to hold the terminal...it shows helloworld and goes away....how can I stop it on screen
[10:39] <ExtremeDevilz> this is urgent
[10:40] <chid> one sec
[10:40] <Krishnandu> sipior, If linux itself can solve my purpose I don't need that
[10:40] <kazagistar> Krishnandu: if you put getchar() at the end of your program you can have it wait for a input before exiting
[10:40] <Krishnandu> kazagistar, Hmm
[10:40] <ectospasm> Krishnandu: try running it from an actual terminal window
[10:40] <sipior> Krishnandu: try "man gets", and take your pick.
[10:41] <ExtremeDevilz> this is urgent
[10:41] <ExtremeDevilz> Question : Netbook : Asus Netbook 1001PX unable to use function key thus cant access my volume key etc :(
[10:41] <sweetpi> !patience | ExtremeDevilz
[10:41] <llutz_> Krishnandu: use "xterm -hold -e yourcmd"
[10:41] <Krishnandu> sipior, Okies
[10:41] <Krishnandu> llutz_, I don't use xterm
[10:41] <chid> sorry can't figure it out at the moment
[10:41] <chid> I can't understand why it closes
[10:42] <Krishnandu> ectospasm, No I need to run it from GUI, actually the project I'll give to users they won't be using command line for me...so I need to make it for them
[10:42] <chid> Krishnandu: are you looking for something like, echo "hello world" pause
[10:42] <chid> on windows
[10:42] <ectospasm> Krishnandu: for troubleshooting though, run it from the terminal so you can see standard output
[10:42] <chid> where they type any key and it closes?
[10:43] <kazagistar> (that is exactly what getchar() does?)
[10:43] <ectospasm> Krishnandu: sounds like you need it to block waiting for input
[10:43] <chid> ok, so if you want that, http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-unix-pause-command.html
[10:44] <chid> so you can create a shell script with ./a.out; read -p "presss any key"
[10:44] <Krishnandu> ectospasm, Ya that did the job :)
[10:44] <zezelle> bonjour
[10:44] <Krishnandu> chid, actually I've C program, and I'd only give the client a.out file not the source code
[10:45] <chid> Ok, so are you looking for C help or bash help?
[10:45] <Krishnandu> chid, bash help actually :P
[10:45] <kazagistar> Krishnandu: you might wanna rename it :P
[10:45] <chid> ok
[10:45] <chid> for a second there I thought you were coding for windows
[10:45] <Krishnandu> kazagistar, of course I'd do that
[10:45] <netbr4in> get the ubuntu book for free
[10:45] <Stavros> how can i get my macbook right-click to work on 10.10?
[10:45] <netbr4in> in the website
[10:45] <Krishnandu> chid, lol no...I dumped it 6moths ago
[10:46] <ewook> Stavros: lol, you're running ubuntu on a macbook?
[10:46] <chid> So you want to create a bash script that runs your program displays the output and closes when they press something
[10:46] <Stavros> ewook: yes
[10:46] <Krishnandu> chid, Absolutely correct :)
[10:46] <chid> oh, I just (re)started using ubuntu a few days ago actually :D
[10:47] <ewook> Stavros: nice. but, with only that pad, I wouldn't think you could do right-clicks. I'm prolly in error of course.
[10:47] <Stavros> ewook: it worked fine before the upgrade
[10:47] <ectospasm> Stavros: does xev react when you right-click?
[10:47] <Stavros> ectospasm: what's xev?
[10:48] <Stavros> ectospasm: i have the synaptics config file, it's just not getting read
[10:48] <ectospasm> Stavros: X Event Viewer
[10:48] <ectospasm> Stavros: you can see whether X Windows is even registering the right-click events, which may guide you where to direct your troubleshooting
[10:48] <Krishnandu> chid, Well...Not ubuntu specific, user may run it on any distro
[10:49] <chid> yeah, I can't figure out the parameters of gnome-terminal
[10:49] <Stavros> ectospasm: it does react, but i'm not sure if it's reacting to the left-click
[10:49] <Stavros> ectospasm: the way i right-click is put two fingers on the touchpad and click the button
[10:49] <Stavros> so i'm not sure what button code 33 is
[10:49] <chid> hehe, Krishnandu
[10:49] <Krishnandu> chid, :)
[10:49] <chid> you can use xterm -e "./a.out |less"
[10:49] <c0rrupt0r> Hey there, I am trying to install ubuntustudio-graphics on ubuntu 10.10 Maverick and I continue to get this error: ubuntustudio-graphics:

[10:49] <c0rrupt0r>  Depends: gimp-gap but it is not going to be installed

[10:49] <c0rrupt0r>  Depends: gimp-ufraw but it is not going to be installed, ......any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated thank yoiu
[10:49] <no--name> uni4dfx: would the 32-bit and 64-bit Firefoxes conflict with one another if I had them each installed?
[10:49] <FloodBot3> c0rrupt0r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:49] <chid> since most distributions have xterm installed
[10:50] <Krishnandu> chid, hm....I don't want xterm....I'm guessing they will be using gnome-terminal
[10:50] <chid> wow ;o I haven't remembered that ubuntu studio exists
[10:50] <ectospasm> Stavros: on most systems I've come across, left- middle- and right-click have different event codes
[10:50] <chid> uh, well that's not very distroindependant of you Krishnandu  :)
[10:50] <uni4dfx> no--name yes... that's why i wouldn't do it... it's more trouble than it's worth
[10:50] <no--name> ok
[10:50] <Krishnandu> chid, ha!! ha!!...!! :)
[10:50] <Gnea> chid: xmessage message   :)
[10:51] <uni4dfx> no--name i guess the best way would be to remove the 64bit version first
[10:51] <chid> Krishnandu:  in any case
[10:51] <chid> you just make a sh file
[10:51] <chid> that holds this then
[10:51] <chid> gnome-terminal -x sh -c "./a.out|less"
[10:51] <Krishnandu> chid, This looks like to be a good idea
[10:52] <maxyjj> good morning all
[10:52] <chid> ok then
[10:52] <Necrocyber> good morning for you too
[10:52] <Necrocyber> and for all
[10:52] <no--name> uni4dfx: yeah
[10:52] <chid> Necrocyber: ! not for me
[10:52] <maxyjj> lol
[10:52] <ppdog> good night all
[10:52] <chid> well it's hardly any better than any other nights
[10:52] <Gnea> Krishnandu: have you tried the xmessage command?
[10:53] <Krishnandu> Gnea, Nope...I don't know what
[10:53] <Krishnandu> *that
[10:53] <maxyjj> haha yaa night is better then day
[10:53] <chid> Gnea: he wants to run a command and have the output displayed
[10:53] <ppdog> yeah
[10:53] <Gnea> Krishnandu: type this in gnome-terminal:  xmessage output
[10:53] <chid> well I suppose that would work
[10:53] <Krishnandu> Gnea,Okies
[10:54] <chid> oh, Gnea it's only one line display, I tried xmessage `cal`
[10:54] <Gnea> chid: nice
[10:54] <Gnea> !pm | chid
[10:55] <Gnea> chid: I learned it a long time ago, before Ubuntu was created
[10:55] <Krishnandu> Gnea, chid Thanks, it's working fine...!! :) I think I need to run shell scripting :)
[10:55] <chid> yeah, I'm just wondering whether you learnt it of a book or through just practice
[10:55] <Gnea> practice
[10:55] <Gnea> ls /usr/bin  :)
[10:55] <no--name> uni4dfx: I downloaded Firefox for linux but it is a tar.gz so I do not know how to compile it as the 32-bit version.
[10:55] <chid> I just thought it was a bit of an off topic thing to ask :D
[10:56] <chid> hehe :D, ok thanks
[10:56] <Gnea> no--name: you don't have to compile it, just install firefox from the repository
[10:56] <chid> uh, no--name
[10:56] <chid> you just type ./firefox
[10:56] <chid> and it runs
[10:56] <uni4dfx> no--name err... download the 32bit deb
[10:56] <no--name> uni4dfx: there isn't a deb
