[13:15] <nicofs> Gnea: all I found was asterisk... but that's far too professional... and I found some how-tos to do it via console like with minicom or wavemon... maybe I should research that...
[13:15] <murmurs> I've been using MSN through Empathy for a month now and today, after I installed Google-talk (prism) on my system, I find that MSN no longer connects. I keep getting "Network error" as the response... is this due to installing Google Talk?
[13:16] <vic20gmr> but im still stymied by the fact that i get better performance out of win xp - i really am trying to get a windows free computer
[13:16] <Gnea> nicofs: yeah, asterisk requires special hardware too, it won't count your sim as such
[13:16] <Gnea> nicofs: I really don't get how wavemon would have anything to do with it...
[13:17] <Good_D_ay> erUSRL: Is there any way I can disable the USB mass storage powersupply ? I did tried looking into the /sys/bus/usb but nothing worked.
[13:17] <nicofs> Gnea: as far as I unterstand it, making a phone call is possible with wavemon...
[13:17] <Gnea> !info wavemon
[13:17] <nicofs> Gnea: or maybe it was even minicom I read about...
[13:17] <Gnea> with a monitoring application?
[13:18] <etheretic> Repeat - Hello! I run 10.10 MM on an Acer Aspire 150 notebook. The orange TX wifi indicator light works, but not the RX green one. How to fix this?
[13:18] <Gnea> nicofs: minicom can make a phone call, but unless you can somehow patch the speakers and mic into it, you're not going to get 2-way voice
[13:19] <nicofs> Gnea: sorry, I didn't mean wavemon but wvdial... my mistake
[13:19] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: What do you mean by RX and TX?
[13:19] <vic20gmr> i wonder if i might have a better time with 8.10
[13:19] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: send/receive.
[13:20] <Gnea> nicofs: wvdial would have to be severely hacked to do that sort of thing, as it's geared toward a data-only connection
[13:20] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: does internet work well?
[13:20] <Kingsy> ok, whats the deal with this, I have a tv with a vga port I am using as a monitor. I installed ubuntu on it, and for some reason, (this even happens with the livecd) it boots .. you can see the inital system diags etc and then the monitor goes off.. and doesnt come back on.. HOWEVER if you boot the machine with the tv OFF wait until it boots then turn the monitor on the desktop shows just fine.. how is that possible?
[13:20] <vic20gmr> well im off to try other thigs, thanks everyone
[13:20] <vic20gmr> ltrz
[13:20] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: a reserved "yes". Get "can't reset mac" errors intermittently.
[13:21] <mao> Anybody help me? How to close log. The folder is becoming too big. My system's edition is 10.10. Thank u guys.
[13:21] <nicofs> Gnea: well then I should look into minicom... I will not be defeated by my netbook...^^
[13:22] <sipior> etheretic: are you trying to force a specific mac address? does the address reported by ifconfig match the one on the chip?
[13:22] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: A rough sketch of right lower corner of the notebook: [green indicator light]-[WIFI label]-[orange indicator light]
[13:22] <Gnea> nicofs: that's the spirit! and I wouldn't give up on wvdial
[13:22] <eZet> Kingsy: Do you have any other monitors connected, or is it perhaps a laptop?
[13:23] <ML> Does anyone here have extensive Ubuntu knowledge?
[13:23] <etheretic> sipior: It's a vanilla install, no alterations.
[13:23] <aladoinsano> Im trying to start xmodmap -e 'keycode 118 = Return' automatically on login, via rc.local, but it refuses to run. It does work since i can type exactly that in the terminal and then it works
[13:23] <aladoinsano> any one know how i can run it automatically?
[13:23] <sipior> ML: easiest if you ask your question directly, and find out :-)
[13:23] <nicofs> Gnea: as soon as my exams are done I will see to it... what would be a good programming language for a gui? I don't exactly like java - but at least I know it...
[13:23] <Kingsy> eZet: no, its just a desktop pc. and no I don't have any other video output connected
[13:24] <Kingsy> eZet: just one vga cable to a tv monitor
[13:24] <ML> Since the recent spell of updates, anytime I open half of my programs, they go gray and freeze.
[13:24] <etheretic> sipior: It's mainly the rx light I'd like to fix.
[13:24] <etheretic> s/light/led
[13:24] <sipior> etheretic: is the problem apparent when connecting to other wireless networks?
[13:24] <Gnea> nicofs: C is always good..
[13:24] <eZet> If you boot with the tv on, does it work if you power the tv off and on again?
[13:25] <nicofs> Gnea: ok, why not learn C over christmas...
[13:25] <etheretic> sipior: It is regardless of network.
[13:25] <Gnea> nicofs: and gtk uses C
[13:25] <Kingsy> eZet: hmm not sure.. you gonna be around a while, I can get the live cd and test it out
[13:25] <ML> I've tried to remove and reinstall the programs that were really giving me grief, but they still gray-screen and freeze.
[13:26] <nicofs> Gnea: is there something like eclipse for C?
[13:26] <sipior> etheretic: what driver and chipset?
[13:26] <eZet> Kingsy: I won't unfortunately, but I'm sure someone else can help. I would find out if it does work if you turn the TV off/on again after booting and losing the picture though.
[13:26] <erUSUL> nicofs: eclipse has a C/C++ dev plugin
[13:26] <erUSUL> !ide | nicofs
[13:26] <Gnea> nicofs: eclipse can do that
[13:26] <Kingsy> eZet: I don't think if I remember rightly it does come back on, I think its just dead
[13:27] <Kingsy> eZet: what would you advise if thats the case?
[13:27] <etheretic> sipior: ath5k, AR5001
[13:27] <etheretic> sipior: ath5k, AR5001 rev. 1
[13:27] <eZet> Kingsy: I'm not sure tbh, sounds quite strange.
[13:28] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: sorry for the connection drop, I am now back
[13:28] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: but internet works, right? even though its a bit broken..
[13:29] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: yes.
[13:30] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: FIle a bug then
[13:30] <bilalakhtar> !filebug | etheretic
[13:30] <banker247> glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
[13:30] <banker247> direct rendering: No (LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT set)
[13:30] <banker247> any input into this?
[13:31] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: is it worth it? It's not a functional issue, per se.
[13:31] <sipior> etheretic: does dmesg happen to report anything interesting when the driver loads?
[13:31] <banker247> i have ati mobility hd 2600.. shouldn't DRI be YES?
[13:31] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: The connection is constant?
[13:31] <etheretic> sipior: checking...
[13:32] <etheretic> sipior: it reports registering both rx and tx led devices.
[13:33] <iljo> err... why can't I post to ##c++?
[13:33] <erUSUL> !register | iljo
[13:34] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: if your connection is constant, and you are having no problem, then you may well ignore it, still it would be better if you filed a bug
[13:34] <iljo> oh, thank you very much
[13:35] <etheretic> sipior: salient dmesg bits @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/536301/
[13:35] <Serg1> Hey, does anybody know something about remote X sessions with audio?
[13:35] <Serg1> I've got everything working according to my needs except for audio on the remote session
[13:36] <etheretic> bilalakhtar: it may be a broken led. unlikely, but possible.
[13:36] <sipior> etheretic: looks normal. can you pastebin the output of ifconfig as well?
[13:36] <bilalakhtar> etheretic: your choice, if you think its a broken LED, then it would be better to stay safe and not file a bug
[13:36] <etheretic> sipior: sure.
[13:38] <etheretic> sipior: http://paste.ubuntu.com/536302/
[13:40] <sipior> etheretic: no dropped packets. i'm quite curious about the mac warnings you're seeing, but it doesn't appear to be affecting the quality of your connection.
[13:41] <etheretic> sipior: no - have .5-1MB/s total transfer rate atm.
[13:42] <sipior> etheretic: might simply be a cosmetic flaw of sorts in the driver. in any event, if it ain't broke... :-)
[13:42] <etheretic> sipior: tend to think along the same lines. :)
[13:43] <etheretic> sipior: maybe try with the ndis/windos driver?
[13:44] <sipior> etheretic: might be worth it, if it bugs you. frankly, i don't pay much attention to the rx/tx lights myself.
[13:44] <kulight> ubuntu 10.10 maxing out my network can any one help?
[13:44] <arriva13> hey guys
[13:44] <etheretic> sipior: as u said, it's cosmetic.
[13:44] <arriva13> i am seeking advice
[13:46] <arriva13> i am using ubuntu 10.10 with wubi, at the installation i dediceted inly 6GB for the installation, cos i only wanted to try...but now i would like to enlarge those 6GB to try it a bit longer, is it possible??
[13:46] <arriva13> dedicated only :)
[13:47] <kub0l> Hi all
[13:47] <kub0l> I have a question if i can
[13:48] <hetii> no :
[13:48] <hetii> :P
[13:48] <kub0l> I need to execude command when Ubuntu is loaded
[13:48] <kub0l> how can i do this?
[13:48] <hetii> add it to /etc/rc.local
[13:48] <kub0l> ok i'll try
[13:48] <hetii> before exit 0 ofc. :)
[13:49] <otak>  arriva13 . 6GB should be more than enough for ubuntu inc.openoffice, gimp etc.
[13:50] <arriva13> yes but after wownloading some updates and approx. 5 programs it says i only have 44 MBs left
[13:50] <Vladimir[LV]> hello! blurb = some advertisement ?
[13:50] <anfegame> hi, guys, i have a problem, anyone can help me creat a .sh script that auto shutsdown my computer everyday at a certain time
[13:50] <anfegame> ?
[13:50] <Oer> anfegame, use cron for time related jobs
[13:50] <Oer> !cron
[13:52] <kub0l> thanks guys! It works :)
[13:52] <Kingsy> ok this is the crack.. got a dell pc with a tv that I am using as a monitor (using the vga port) if I boot it with a ubuntu live cd I see the initial screen with the little picture of the man and the CD at the bottom and then the screen goes blue (goes dead) the system however is still booting.. if I turn the monitor off and on again it still doesnt come on.. however
[13:53] <otak> arriva13: sorry I didn't realise err..
[13:53] <Kingsy> here is the funny part.. if I have the monitor off when its booting and then turn it on ubuntu displays..
[13:53] <Kingsy> what is going on there??
[13:53] <anfegame> great guys, thanks this should work!! but one question can chron run shutdown -h even know its a sudo privileges command?
[13:53] <otak> !gparted
[13:54] <roberto_> ciao
[13:54] <arriva13> will the Gparted not harm my windows C: partition???
[13:55] <anfegame> great guys, thanks this should work!! but one question can chron run shutdown -h even know its a sudo privileges command?
[13:55] <nicofs> Kingsy: what do you want? a booted-up ubuntu with two screens (one laptop, one TV)?
[13:55] <chaquetillas> ee
[13:55] <chaquetillas> e
[13:55] <chaquetillas> e
[13:56] <chaquetillas> chaquetas 9
[13:56] <otak> arriva13: i never tried but I believe you should use a windows tool to resize a windows partition
[13:56] <sipior> anfegame: yes, you can edit root's crontab via: "sudo crontab -e"
[13:57] <otak> arriva13: ask more about wubi cos maybe your ubuntu 'partition' is just a file inside your windows partition?
[13:57] <anfegame> thank you sipior i will work on that, thank you for u help!!
[13:57] <Serg1> Somebody experienced in X forwarding with sound in 10.10?
[13:57] <sipior> anfegame: have fun
[13:57] <Kingsy> nicofs - no, the tv is the monitor.. I just didnt have a spare monitor for it..
[13:57] <arriva13> that is right, it is just a folder inside my windows partition
[13:57] <arriva13> that is booted from
[13:58] <Kingsy> nicofs: so, its just a normal dekstop pc.. BUT when you boot it up with the monitor on the display goes off.. if you leave the monitor off during the boot process and then turn it on the display works.. I mean wtf?
[13:59] <Diverdude> If i change my tv-tuner card in my ubuntu server 10.10 with a different tv-tuner card will ubuntu automatically install it?
[13:59] <Diverdude> or is it not recommended to change hardware setup after ubuntu installation?
[13:59] <nicofs> Kingsy: in all honesty... that is beyond me...
[13:59] <Kingsy> lol
[13:59] <Kingsy> yup everyone has said that.. hehe
[13:59] <Syria> Hi, how can i know if this copy of ubuntu is alternative or the desktop one?
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  boot it.. text onlty = alt, or server.... got a gui = desktop
[14:00] <sipior> Diverdude: assuming the new card is supported, there should be no real problem in principle.
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  the cd Might have a file on it stating whats what.. but im not sure. Or check the Md5sums
[14:00] <Syria> Dr-willis, I mean i have it already installed, i just want to know if it was installed using the alternative or not.
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Diverdude:  ive moved hd's with ubuntu installs from one laptop to antoher with very few issues.
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  the 2 installs are identical.
[14:01] <TutoR> Hello All
[14:01] <TutoR> On WPA crack is there a brute force free online server?
[14:01] <Syria> Dr_willis Thank you
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> I would have to wonder at why someone would offer such a service.. :)
[14:02] <TutoR> I've already tried Darkicorp with no success
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> or how its 'ubuntu support related' :P
[14:03] <TutoR> apologies in that case - I might've joined the wrong channel
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> Serg1:  pulse audio can forward 'sound' from one pc to another. if thasts what you are wanting.
[14:04] <Braber01> hi, I've been trying to update Lucid, however when doing so After restarting Ubuntu takes for ever to start up again any ideas as to why this is?
[14:05] <jv__> my lxde installation from server screwed up my graphical network settings
[14:05] <jv__> now I have wicd and network manager gnome
[14:05] <Braber01> ... And I've had to reinstall ubuntu like twice to get my desktop working atgain.
[14:05] <jv__> before if i installed wicd network manager gnome would be removed  because of conflict
[14:05] <administrator_> .........
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  if you aer doing reinstalls.. why not just install 10.10 to begin with?
[14:06] <jv__> evrything works from terminal but the wireless network
[14:06] <Braber01> Dr_Willis, 1)because I'm lazy and alredy have 10.4 on a usb drive
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> jv__:  if you use the right commands. you could set up wireless that way also.
[14:06] <jv__> iwlist shows my router
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  i think it would be better  to do a clean install of 10.10
[14:07] <jv__> I knwo some, but not all
[14:07] <Syria> In the update manager the is no upgrade button? what should I do to make it appear, I think it was a terminal command
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> jv__:  i always check out the ubuntu forums or wiki pages, or arch linux wiki pages for the proper commnands. i never can rember them.
[14:07] <graphitemaster> Syria: update-manager -d
[14:07] <Braber01> Dr_Willis, would that be better than using update manager since that doesn't seem to be workin for me?
[14:07] <jv__> doing iwconfig wlan0 essid NETGEAR does not stay in the config so dhclient never works for the woreless
[14:08] <jv__> I mean, correctly spelled ;)
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> Syria:   theres also a setting  in the update manager to go from LTS to LTS only upgrades (the default) or LTS -> any release newer..
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  since it would proberly actually work.. id say yes.
[14:08] <jv__> now I am removing both, gnome network manager and wicd
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  and since upgradeing would download the whole cd anyway and more....
[14:08] <Braber01> Dr_Willis Thank you :)
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  plus you would then have a 10.10 cd/iso/flash drive........
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  why WOULD you want to upgrade :)
[14:10] <jv__> now I am removing both, gnome network manager and wicd
[14:10] <jv__> y
[14:10] <Leoneof> hello, how to download ALL libs?
[14:10] <Braber01> I just relized, I'm gonna need a new flash drive, I alredy have the netbook edtion 10.04 on my flash dirve now, but I don't have enough flash dirves ... LOL
[14:10] <jv__> crap, it took lxdm and a few more ;)
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> Braber01:  use dd, back it up.. restore it as needed..
[14:11] <Syria> Dr_Willis  This is what I want, to go from lts to another lts, how can i do this please?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  try that command  with the -d. i rareluy upgrade
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> Leoneof:  installing 'all' libs would be a little silly theres 1000's of them that people prorlbery never need.
[14:12] <Syria> Dr_Willis The button does not appears after sudo update-manager -d but nothing happened.
[14:12] <Syria> Dr_Willis I am doing this on 8.4 ubuntu
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> check the factoid url's yet? they may give some suggestions
[14:13] <Leoneof> Dr_Willis: ok, but i need all of lib-dev, also...how to know total size of all lib-dev?
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Leoneof:  why would you need ALL of them?
[14:14] <rushfan_> Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 8.04 and I can't get flash to work (Firefox doesn't find it). I have it in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugs, /usr/lib/firefox/plugins, and /usr/lib/firefox-addons/plugins
[14:14] <rushfan_> But nonetheless it doesn't locate it in any of those directories.
[14:14] <Leoneof> Dr_Willis: just curious to have them.
[14:14] <rushfan_> Anyone know where exactly I can put libflashplayer.so?
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> !flash
[14:15] <Syria> Dr_Willis sorry I am using 8.10 and i want to upgrade to 10.4
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  how did you install flash?
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  i rarely if ever upgrade. i do clean installs.. all i nan suggest is check the !upgrade wiki/notes.
[14:15] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: By downloading it from the adobe web-site, because the flash-plugin package in the repository didn't work
[14:15] <Syria> Dr_Willis thnx again :)
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  odd that the repo dident work.   You basically get the tar.gz and extract it to the proper plugins dir in the users home dir. as far as i know
[14:16] <fnordperfect> Hi! Does anyone use wmii as a window manager by any chance?
[14:16] <rjs_> Hi just wondering how do i setup the startup programs through the command line instead of using the system->preferences-startup applications
[14:16] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: thats what I did. Strange. Dr_Willis last thing I can think of... does Firefox 3.0 work with the latest version of flash player/
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> 8.04 is a little.. old :) so i guess its not that supriseing.
[14:16] <rushfan_> I better just upgrade to 3.6
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  no idea. Im using whatever is in the 10.10 repos.
[14:17] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: Yeah I can'tuse anything over 8.04 because of a nasty regression bug leading to a hardlock on boot
[14:17] <rushfan_> Its in the kernel itself and I'm not sure I can update to 10.10 but still use an old kernel
[14:17] <rushfan_> The 10.10 livecd cant boot on my computer
[14:17] <fnordperfect> When wmii starts, it does not execute its wmiirc configuration file. I've tried wmii-3.6 from the repos and also wmii-3.9 from a ppa, same problem
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Odd that a 2 yr old kernel bug hasent been fixed...
[14:18] <graphitemaster> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2rGTXHvPCQ
[14:18] <graphitemaster> ^^ WATCH LAUGH REPEAT
[14:18] <rjs_> Hi just wondering how do i setup the startup programs through the command line instead of using the system->preferences-startup applications
[14:18] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: Well I've been too lazy to pin down the exact cahnge to cause it :|
[14:18] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: I know its the linxu kernel because it isnt just Ubuntu. No current liveCDs will boot over here
[14:18] <jussi> !ot | graphitemaster
[14:18] <rigved> rushfan_: if you get a blank screen on boot, try the alternate cd. it may be possible that it's not a kernel bug but a graphics problem
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  whats your video card?
[14:20] <TheKro> my device notifier is behaving strangely: it's not picking up one of the linux partitions on my external HDD.  However, I can manually mount the partition.  any suggestions on how to debug/fix? (KDE)
[14:20] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: Its an i810.
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> TheKro:  make a /etc/fstab entry for it perhaps.
[14:20] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: Funny you ask. I've long been convinced it was the video card causing all teh trouble.
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> rushfan_:  do other disrto live cds work?
[14:20] <rigved> rushfan_: that's the driver. so you have a integrated graphics chipset
[14:21] <rigved> rushfan_: try the alternate cd
[14:21] <rushfan_> Dr_Willis: No.
[14:21] <fnordperfect> rjs_: you have a folder .config/autostart in your home directory. In there are .desktop files which get launched when you start your gnome session
[14:21] <rushfan_> rigved: Well iirc i810 is the version of intel's integrated chipset
[14:22] <Syria> Guys please tell me how can i konw information about my hard disc?
[14:22] <TheKro> Dr_Willis: thx for the suggestion - however, problem seems to have disappeared after removing and re-adding the device notifier widget
[14:22] <rigved> rushfan_: i had a similar problem, had to use the alternate cd
[14:22] <rushfan_> rigved: but isnt there still a problem there. If if I can install with the alternate CD, wont it crash as soon as it boots into X?
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> Syria:  sudo fdisk -l   for starters
[14:23] <fnordperfect> Syria: there are lots of ways, what kind of information do you seek?
[14:23] <rigved> rushfan_: once installed, you need to boot into fail-safe X
[14:23] <CooKieMonster> why when i create a .htaccess file on my destop after saved it become invisible
[14:23] <rushfan_> rigved: oh even if I boot into fail-safe X it crashes
[14:23] <rushfan_> '
[14:23] <rigved> rushfan_: that's what i do
[14:24] <karthee> CooKieMonster:  any file/directory that starts with . is hidden  file/dir
[14:24] <rigved> rushfan_: so fail-safe X with low-level graphics crashes on your system?
[14:24] <mij> I'm unable to configure PVM in ubuntu. I tried to set PVM_PATH to the folder where the binary of my programs are, but every time I try to spawn a new process with pvm, it says "No such file". Any clues?
[14:24] <CooKieMonster> how to make it visible again i want to delete those file
[14:24] <erUSUL> Syria: what kind of info ? System>Admin>disk tool
[14:25] <rushfan_> rigved: yes indeed
[14:25] <rushfan_> rigved: At least thats been my experience so far
[14:25] <karthee> CooKieMonster:  ls -a  on CLI  ll show it up .. and if you are on GUI   turn on   'show hidden file'

[14:28] <rigved> rushfan_: if it really is a kernel problem, then i do not know. but if it's a graphics problem then it might help
[14:28] <sugnan> Gnea, no dint any
[14:29] <Gnea> sugnan: is it only with firefox?
[14:29] <rushfan_> rigved: No this is def. a problem with the kernel but thanks man. I tested that by booting a gentoo minimal LiveCD (command lien only) and it crashes

[14:54] <jmiddleton> hey guys i just installed Ubuntu along side Windows Vista.  How can I make Windows the default OS to boot in Grub>
[14:54] <jmiddleton> I am just trying to get them a bit familiar with Ubuntu but they want to have windows be the default
[14:55] <RudyValencia> jmiddleton: which version of grub are you using (the new one or legacy GRUB)?
[14:55] <jmiddleton> probably the new one
[14:55] <jmiddleton> it was installed by 10.10
[14:55] <RudyValencia> hm, lemme see what I can find out
[14:55] <RudyValencia> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/changing-default-os-in-grub2-765011/
[14:55] <jmiddleton> i'm sure there is a configuration file somewhere that I can alter to make it boot
[14:56] <jmiddleton> thanks
[14:56] <RudyValencia> np
[14:56] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | jmiddleton
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> jmiddleton:  you change  a setting in /etc/default/grub i think.
[14:57] <Fr33_z3> hi all, I have a Sony Vaio VPCEB34EN laptop and I tried running Ubuntu 10.10 off the LiveCD. My touchpad doesn't work at all, does anybody know what I can do about it?
[14:57] <jmiddleton> odd I don't have that file
[14:57] <jmiddleton> thanks Dr_Willis
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> jmiddleton:  double check..   if you did a clean install of 10.10 - you should be using grub2
[14:57] <Fr33_z3> i haven't installed Ubuntu yet, mind you
[14:57] <jmiddleton> i have no /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> jmiddleton:  thats not for grub2.....
[14:58] <jmiddleton> yet the /etc/default/grub says if i change that file run grub update to update the boot/grub/menu.lst file
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> jmiddleton:  grub2 = totally different from grub1
[14:58] <Dr_Willis>  it would update /boot/grub.cfg
[14:58] <divided> hi all, happy thanksgiving - having trouble getting my wireless usb adapter to work in 10.10 - can anyone help?

[15:01] <AbhiJit> hi
[15:01] <AbhiJit> what do i need to veie the '.tif' file?
[15:01] <Andy_1> alright, Hello,
[15:01] <Andy_1> I am currently using ubuntu(64 bit) on my 4820TG . After installation, I got the additional drivers, there were 2 options present 1. my wifi card driver which I successfully got and is working. 2. my ati graphics card (so I guess by default its running on the onboard intel card?). It said "ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics drivers", I downloaded it and activated it.
[15:01] <Andy_1> After rebooting the desktop didn't show up and instead it directly booted into the terminal.I managed to boot back to desktop using some commands.
[15:01] <FloodBot3> Andy_1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:01] <Fr33_z3> hi all, I have a Sony Vaio VPCEB34EN laptop and I tried running Ubuntu 10.10 off the LiveCD. My touchpad doesn't work at
[15:01] <Fr33_z3> all, does anybody know what I can do about it?
[15:02] <divided> can anyone help me with my wireless usb adapter?
[15:02] <Daekdroom> Andy_1, that doesn't necessarily mean it's running on the onboard intel VGA, but if it is, you shouldn't activate the ATI driver.
[15:02] <swiss-chris> hi - I'm using sftp with nautilus for the first time and it asks me if I want to remember the password until I log out. How do I log out?
[15:03] <Andy_1> someone suggested that the drivers are not switchable supported so i need to download "the open source drivers (intel/i915 and radeon)", how do I do that? can I get some specific commands for it?
[15:03] <geirha> swiss-chris: You click in the upper right corner of the panel and choose Log out

[15:04] <geekbri> anybody ever used ubuntu in vmware and had their up arrow key suddenly act as if its an enter key?

[15:05] <iljo> sometimes keys get "stuck"
[15:05] <vic20gmr> geekbri, no i used in virtualbox flawlessy though

[15:05] <divided> can anyone help me with my wireless usb adapter?
[15:06] <vic20gmr> geekbri, has anything at all changes? did you shutdown properly last time you were in ubuntu?
[15:06] <swiss-chris> geirha: thank for your response. excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by panel? I currently have a nautilus window open in gnome and within that window I see the contents of my remote sftp folder
[15:06] <geekbri> vic20gmr: yup, shutdown -h now.  nothing has changed as far as i know.
[15:06] <swiss-chris> geirha: you mean the gnome panel? ok.
[15:07] <geirha> swiss-chris: Yes, the text about remembering password until you log out refers to when you log out of the gnome-session.
[15:07] <swiss-chris> geirha: gotcha. I thought nautilus it was referring to logging out of the sftp session. thanks!

[15:09] <AbhiJit> anyone heard about tif?
[15:10] <sipior> AbhiJit: TIFF, you mean?
[15:10] <AbhiJit> sipior, yes

[15:10] <AbhiJit> sipior, i cant read it in firefox
[15:10] <AbhiJit> what to do in order to read it?
[15:11] <divided> is there a linux distro that has native wireless usb support?
[15:11] <vic20gmr> ya ubuntu
[15:11] <sipior> AbhiJit: you might try installing the libtiff-tools package, but that was from a couple years back, as i recall.
[15:12] <ubuntu> hi guys, new to channel and IRC in general, have a problem with a recent update of 10.04LTS server with the ubuntu-studio desktop...get the usual exit status 4 on a couple of drives, then a blinking cursor like it's hanging
[15:12] <AbhiJit> sipior, libtiff4 is already installed
[15:12] <Cerebrux> >divided< it is a kernel version thing not a distro thing for native wireless usb support
[15:12] <divided> vic20gmr: i don't call screwing around with ndiswrapper and having to install custom kernels "native"
[15:12] <sipior> AbhiJit: i didn't say, "install libtiff4".
[15:12] <AbhiJit>  :(
[15:13] <vic20gmr> divided, do what?
[15:13] <sipior> AbhiJit: do you have libtiff-tools?
[15:13] <AbhiJit> sipior, no
[15:13] <ubuntu> anyone got any suggestions?
[15:13] <vic20gmr> you asked if thee was a linux distro with native wifi usb drivers
[15:13] <ubuntu> h
[15:13] <divided> Cerebrux: I've tried many things to get my wireless usb adapter to work - do you have any experience with this?
[15:14] <ubuntu> hmmm, how do I change my nick?
[15:14] <DoeNietWil> could someone check if this command is safe to run sudo apt-get remove mercurial libasound2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libnotify-dev libxt-dev libiw-dev mesa-common-dev autoconf2.13 yasm
[15:14] <atariboy84> use "/nick yournewnick"
[15:14] <vic20gmr> i use wifi exclusivley, and all i had to do was plug the wifi adapter into my usb port, im ussing natve drivers, and it does depend on your wifi chipset
[15:14] <ubuntu> thanks, atariboy
[15:14] <ubuntu> nick Serebro
[15:14] <atariboy84> yw
[15:14] <Serebro> sorry, missed the slash the first time
[15:14] <vic20gmr> ubuntu, i dont think you can change it as long as youre using live system
[15:15] <vic20gmr> but i may be wrong
[15:15] <divided> vic20gmr: it recognizes the usb adapter fine, but i can't connect to the internet - ralink rt2570 chipset
[15:15] <vic20gmr> hmmm
[15:15] <divided> ubuntu: it's /nick, not nick
[15:15] <vic20gmr> im using rt2500
[15:15] <divided> vic20gmr: did you have to use ndiswrapper?
[15:15] <vic20gmr> no
[15:16] <ilyas> exit
[15:16] <Serebro> so, any ideas why that'd be hanging, almost like X isn't starting?
[15:16] <vic20gmr> i actually was pointed to some online resources covering wifi stuff this morning
[15:16] <vic20gmr> lemm et those links..
[15:17] <vic20gmr> divided, check this out: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported

[15:18] <divided> vic20gmr: thanks, i've been through that faq and installed ndiswrapper and all that good stuff. like i said, it will recognize the adapter, but i can't connect to the internet
[15:18] <Serebro> sorry, kind of lost atm, real newbie to CLI and fixing startup issues. Using a liveCD atm to see if you guys can help.

[15:20] <divided> vic20gmr, they probably do
[15:20] <vic20gmr> divided, it wouldnt suprise me
[15:21] <vic20gmr> divided, at this point i can only suggest that we both do or very best, and share all results with one another
[15:21] <divided> vic20gmr sounds good
[15:21] <vic20gmr> divided, mabe we can both benefit by "putting our heads together"

[15:40] <geekbri> nevermind i solved my nginx problem! for some reason the default ubuntu install of nginx creates /var/www/nginx-default but in the location configuration points at /var/www for the directory, silly!
[15:40] <B-r00t> oatcake: clean install, yes...
[15:41] <rigved> !upgrade | oatcake
[15:41] <rigved> oatcake: you can upgrade if you want to keep your current data intact
[15:41] <B-r00t> rigved: upgrade fom 9.04 to 10.10?
[15:41] <B-r00t> from*
[15:42] <swim> php-doc
[15:42] <rigved> B-r00t: 9.10 -> 10.04 -> 10.10
[15:42] <sipior> oatcake: if you have a separate /home partition, you can safely install a new version, assuming you ensure that it is not formatted by the installer. backups are handy, erring on the side of caution.
[15:42] <B-r00t> lol
[15:44] <sipior> oatcake: if you have data outside of /home, you'll need to see to that separately.
[15:44] <rigved> B-r00t: ya it's a very long route. better to backup and then do a clean install
[15:44] <B-r00t> clean install is better

[16:08] <vic20gmr> im trying to figure out a way of improving my wifi performance in ubntu 10.04, im in a crowded area [a ton of aps almost all of them on channel 6] ive been looking at help for iwconfig command line tool, and would like suggestions on what i might try setting rts to, assuming messing with that would  possibly help
[16:09] <DorianST> For Visual Effects what is the big difference between None and Normal options? It says improved usability and good balance between attractiveness and moderate performance requirements. Can someone elaborate? I can't see any differences.
[16:10] <vic20gmr> also, is there a [relatively] easy way i might save the current settings of these paramaters, so i can just mess around with them, but if it doesnt work/i make things worse, i can just restore them?
[16:11] <Sergeant_Pony> what's the best way to install gnome desktop to ubuntu 10.10 server?
[16:11] <iceroot> Sergeant_Pony: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[16:11] <LjL> Kingsy: NetBIOS service
[16:12] <iceroot> Sergeant_Pony: and why running server if needing a gui?
[16:12] <Sergeant_Pony> iceroot it servs a few purposes that the client version cannot do.
[16:12] <Winand> Has anyone experience setting up a jabber server?

[16:15] <vic20gmr> beefcakes, i dont know if this will work, but try disabling effect?
[16:15] <iceroot> Sergeant_Pony: the only difference between server and desktop version is that server doesnt have a gui and the server has installed pae by default. nothing else

[16:16] <Tang0> beefcakes, had the same problem ealier, try changing the gfx driver- worked for me.
[16:16] <macondo> There is no way to revert it, except rebooting. Is there a way to fix this?
[16:18] <Sickler> anyone please?
[16:18] <goos> http://play.typeracer.com/?rt=trgoosk
[16:19] <macondo> In fact, it just died. And I booted 5 minutes ago.
[16:19] <evilbug> can pidgin or empathy handle audio & video calls to yahoo messenger users?

[16:21] <BitEncrypt> how do access the grub menu?
[16:21] <banker247> anyone here using ubuntu with ati?
[16:21] <macondo> sipior: yes, it works under windows, and it was working yesterday when I was running 10.04. It's a microsoft optical USB wheel mouse.
[16:22] <vic20gmr> how can i determine what my current rts_threshold is?
[16:22] <sipior> macondo: anything interesting show up in the logs around the time the mouse dies?
[16:22] <macondo> sipior: right click and pointer work ok. It's just the left click that's not working. There's a strong correlation with pressing a multimedia keyboard key
[16:22] <beefcakes> Tang0: when I change it to the 173 geforce driver my system crashes. if i use this driver (current), video is messed up. gosh why does this have to be so complicated
[16:23] <smw> BitEncrypt, what are you trying to do?
[16:23] <vic20gmr> banker247, i ude ubuntu 10.04 with radeon 9600/256

[16:24] <sipior> macondo: does logging out and logging back in also solve the problem?
[16:24] <macondo> sipior: let me see.
[16:25] <macondo> sipior: I don't know how to log out. I can press anything and alt-F1 won't take me to the menu bar.
[16:25] <CooKieMonster> do you guys have this problem  ? each time when try to maximize flash player the video will go blank left only the audio

[16:25] <CooKieMonster> how to get the latest flash player
[16:26] <gerzel> Q: I installed Nautilus elementary and it seems to have a bug when I try to use it with dual monitors using each monitor as a seperate desktop w/o using xinerama.  When I start up it just spawns  nautilus starts in my window list w/o any windows appearing, filling my window list for a good five minutes before these spawns start and die and finally all die off.  Afterward I am unable to start nautilus from my places menu.
[16:26] <smw> CooKieMonster, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[16:26] <sipior> macondo: you can try "ctrl-alt-F1" and then kill gdm from the terminal
[16:26] <BitEncrypt> smw, well then i installed ubuntu wrong then. i have XP and 10.04 LTS
[16:27] <macondo> sipior: doesn't work either
[16:27] <Sickler> can someone help me with gaining access to the internet, i have wpa2 but these are my only options...    http://imagebin.org/124834
[16:27] <gerzel> the commands I used  before this happened were: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa   and  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist upgrade
[16:27] <BitEncrypt> smw, the boot screen doesnt show up
[16:27] <smw> BitEncrypt, press esc before linux boots up and it will show up. Make sure it sees windows
[16:28] <BitEncrypt> smw, ok
[16:28] <Benkinooby> hi, please can some1 tell me what the "." means in the line ". /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions"
[16:29] <banker247> vic20gmr, type in glxinfo | grep "direct rendering" into terminal what do you get?
[16:29] <macondo> sipior: apparently this package fixes it, but I can't download it. Can you help me a little? http://launchpadlibrarian.net/54205518/xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.5.0%2Bgit20100822.990540fa-0ubuntu0sarvatt_i386.deb
[16:29] <rigved> Benkinooby: it refers to the current directory. here it means the root directory under which there is /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
[16:29] <smw> Benkinooby, rigved is wrong. It loads that script into the current one
[16:30] <donica> hi , I should install a webcam drivers logitech 900 pro.Can anyone help me. Thanks
[16:30] <smw> Benkinooby, it is like an import statement
[16:30] <rigved> Benkinooby: oh ya. srry
[16:30] <smw> rigved, np ;-)
[16:30] <rigved> Benkinooby: it is used to run scripts
[16:31] <Benkinooby> swm rigved like  run functions in current_dir/etc/rc.d/init.d/ ?
[16:31] <vic20gmr> banker247, i currently dont have it installed, and im waiting on anoother get-apt, and its not super fast, but terribly slow right now, as soon as i can i will download and report back
[16:31] <smw> Benkinooby, no. like, import functions from /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
[16:31] <vic20gmr> banker247, if your wanting to know wehter or not i have direct rendering, i can answer that im 99% sure i do
[16:32] <vic20gmr> banker247, i meant to say *not* terribly slow :)
[16:32] <sipior> macondo: link claims to be broken
[16:32] <smw> Benkinooby, do you understand it?
[16:32] <Benkinooby> smw so that the cript that contains this line can access the functions fo the file /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
[16:32] <smw> Benkinooby, exactly
[16:32] <Benkinooby> cript = script
[16:33] <Sickler> can someone help me with gaining access to the internet, i have wpa2 but these are my only options...    http://imagebin.org/124834
[16:33] <The> hi
[16:33] <smw> Benkinooby, it will also run anything not in a function though.
[16:33] <vic20gmr> banker247, im also using the x.org drivers, btw fglrx doesnt support my card, and many that are newer than it also
[16:33] <Benkinooby> smw thank you for your help. where could i have found this informantion? in what man file? or online doc?
[16:33] <BitEncrypt> smw, part of the bios showed up. but i did not boot into bios
[16:34] <Guest7909> Hi everyboy
[16:34] <sipior> macondo: maybe try a dist-upgrade? might be the fix has already been pushed to the repositories.
[16:34] <Benkinooby> swm so it's like that script is calling an other script, that is /etc/..../functions
[16:34] <clocKwize> hey guys, is there any way to set an environmental variable that will be used in a cron job?
[16:34] <smw> Benkinooby, yes. But it is also loading the functions. Not just calling it.
[16:34] <cfreak200> heya, i've mysql-cluster-server installed on my 10.04 LTS Server now i need the libmysqclient-dev package but that requires libmysqlclient16 which collides with the already installed libmysqlclientXX.so from the cluster version. any idea?
[16:34] <clocKwize> without specifying it in the job
[16:35] <smw> Benkinooby, "calling it" would mean starting another interpreter. It is more like an import statement
[16:35] <Maahes> is there any command in apt that works like this: sudo apt-get <command> package (gets:) package-dev?
[16:35] <smw> BitEncrypt, not sure what you mean by that
[16:36] <sipior> clocKwize: yes, have a look at "man 5 crontab"
[16:36] <banker247> vic20gmr, what card are you using
[16:36] <smw> BitEncrypt, in between the bios and linux booting, you should be able to press esc to get the grub menu
[16:36] <Benkinooby> swm is that like include in c++? i think import comes from java and i don't know java
[16:36] <vic20gmr> radeon 9600/256mb
[16:36] <smw> Benkinooby, smw, not swm
[16:36] <vic20gmr> banker247,  radeon 9600/256mb
[16:37] <Maahes> clocKwize: I set my notices via anachron. I was woken up at 2:00am for my 4:00pm appointment. *o_O*
[16:37] <killguta> Guys, how can I force the resolution of X without a graphics card?
[16:37] <Benkinooby> swm is that like include in c++? i think import comes from java and i don't know java ... sry
[16:37] <Benkinooby> arhg!
[16:37] <smw> Benkinooby, it is an include, except it also runs whatever is in there.
[16:37] <Benkinooby> smw is that like include in c++? i think import comes from java and i don't know java ... sry²
[16:37] <macondo> sipior: let me see. Un/plugging the keyboard and mouse does the trick.
[16:37] <Maahes> killguta: um, how can you be running X without a graphics card?
[16:37] <Benkinooby> smw ok, thank you. got it
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, it is like copying what is in there into the current program
[16:38] <sipior> macondo: nice to have a fix, but that'll get annoying quickly, i imagine :-)
[16:38] <Benkinooby> smw thank you for your patience, time and efforts
[16:38] <killguta> I know that I'm not using any video driver, Maahes
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, np :-)
[16:38] <Benkinooby> smw plus running it
[16:38] <macondo> sipior: yes, sure. I just didn't want to reboot every time.
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, just like a copy :-)
[16:38] <killguta> My graphics card died :(
[16:38] <Genocyber_> rip
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, imagine everything in the other file was put right where that statement is.
[16:38] <Maahes> killguta: I'm pretty sure you have to be using vesa or mesa, are you sure you don't have an on-board graphics card?
[16:38] <killguta> She was a cheap one, but it got me through those lonely nights...
[16:38] <smw> Benkinooby, most of those statements are function declarations
[16:38] <Benkinooby> smw yes, but after copy will it be run too?
[16:39] <clocKwize> Maahes: undesired..
[16:39] <Maahes> literally without a graphics card, you wouldn't be able to use a monitor.
[16:39] <smw> Benkinooby, yes
[16:39] <vic20gmr> i just changed my rts value to 250, will this stick? or will i have to reset it each time i boot/login?
[16:39] <Benkinooby> smw ok, like headers that get included and the run after they are copied in
[16:39] <smw> Benkinooby, yeah
[16:39] <Benkinooby> smw :)
[16:39] <Benkinooby> smw thx!
[16:39] <smw> Benkinooby, it is something you only see in interpreted languages
[16:40] <jmiddleton> hey guys i just installed ubuntu along side windows xp, however I am trying to get Grub2 to have Vista be the default OS so that they can get used to Ubuntu before making a full switch
[16:40] <jmiddleton> I tried editing /etc/default/grub and setting the default item to item 3 but it still highlights Ubuntu as the default.  Any thoughts?
[16:40] <Maahes> (this isn't absolutely true, if you had a serial port and an old terminal interface you could run a monitor without a graphics card, but you couldn't run X)
[16:44] <killguta> Is it... over?
[16:45] <killguta> Can anybody hear me?
[16:45] <Maahes> killguta: Is there anybody in there
[16:45] <ikonia> yes
[16:45] <Maahes> is there anyone home...
[16:45] <ikonia> ok, we get it
[16:45] <Maahes> :P
[16:46] <LinuxGuy2009> I'm experiencing an issue with 10.04 not being able to find any APTonCD repo discs when it comes to actually installing a package from it. Even though I used apt-cdrom to successfully add it as a repo source. I am not sure if this is because the system installation did not create an cdrom mount point entry in fstab. Could this be the reason?
[16:46] <ikonia> LinuxGuy2009: no, the cd's are mounted dynamically
[16:47] <aprendiz> como me paso a españolk?
[16:47] <ikonia> !es | aprendiz
[16:47] <LinuxGuy2009> ikonia: ok so that verifies that.Can you think of any other reason this might not work or if its a known issue? Its a feature I REALLY need for an offline machine.
[16:47] <ikonia> LinuxGuy2009: the cd's are not being made correctly ?
[16:48] <ikonia> LinuxGuy2009: faulty cd drive ?
[16:49] <LinuxGuy2009> ikonia: brand new sata dvdrw drive. I was thinking it may be aptoncd bug but wasnt sure. Is there any other way for me to create a repo cd with some other tool(s) or commands?
[16:49] <BluesKaj> looking for ppl with expewrience using mplayer as a tv viewer for the ati tv-wonder-pro cx88 type tv tuner cards. I'm having trouble configuring/enabling the audio . The video works fine using the composite1 input . I've asked in #mplayer , but so far havent received any response.
[16:49] <ikonia> LinuxGuy2009: just because it's brand new doesn't mean it works, test the CD with another machine (if possible) mount the CD manually and check the contents
[16:50] <ikonia> BluesKaj: is it the mplayer packaged with ubuntu 10.10 ?
[16:50] <BluesKaj> ikonia, yes
[16:50] <ikonia> BluesKaj: someone else was having a very similar problem a few days ago with pretty much the same setup, I know the all in wonder cards can be problematic in general
[16:51] <BluesKaj> ikonia, yeah , that was probly me ..been trying to find a solution for 4 days
[16:51] <ikonia> BluesKaj: someone else, I know your nickname
[16:51] <BluesKaj> ok
[16:51] <ikonia> BluesKaj: you're not alone.

[16:57] <evilbug> my friend just made an ubuntu 10.10 install dvd and trying to boot it off of a win7 comp. the problem is the disc is recognized at boot and jumps straight into windows. could this be a bios issue?
[16:57] <ubuntuisloved> xukun, search google for ssh keys
[16:58] <ubuntuisloved> xukun, you basically need to create the ssh keygen key in /root/.ssh directory then copy your id_dsa.pub to the remote host in it's .ssh directory
[16:58] <donica> ubottu What does your private message
[16:59] <Eni> anyone can help me with metasploit?
[16:59] <Eni> in backtrack4 R1
[16:59] <Eni> ?
[16:59] <BluesKaj> evilbug, did your friend check the md5 sum on the dvd ..the problem may be witht the cdrom not reading the dvd and defaulting to the next boot device .
[16:59] <JohnoP> yo anyone know how to structure a find command to simply out put the file names of the files in a folder. Rather then the whole file path?
[16:59] <ikonia> Eni: try the #backtrack-linux channel
[16:59] <eZet> evilbug: Most likely a bios 'feature', not an issue. If it's a newer mainboard there'll be a button you can press for 'boot options', where you can select your boot device.
[17:00] <siropio> hello, does Kindle 3 support PDF files natively or do i have to convert some other file to make a PDF?
[17:00] <evilbug> eZet: yeah. the issue is i'm doing this remotely and he doesn't know what i'm talking about :( i'll try. seems like a bios issue.
[17:00] <evilbug> BluesKaj: the dvd is fine.
[17:00] <ikonia> siropio: errrr kindle the amazon device ?
[17:00] <BluesKaj> evilbug, have you tried it on another pc ?
[17:00] <eZet> evilbug: Most likely F8, F10 or F12. If there's no such option, you'll have to enter the bios and prioritize booting from dvd over hdd.
[17:01] <Kingsy> anyone around familiar with samba with ubuntu?

[17:01] <evilbug> BluesKaj: trying it right now but seems to be a bios issue since his other ubuntu computer recognizes it as a package disc.
[17:01] <ikonia> siropio: ok,
[17:02] <vic20gmr> banker247, also my wifi isnt exactly a bastion of reliability, so if it lookslike ive left, its just the wifi failing/dropping my connection, in which case ill return and let you know what i come up with
[17:02] <Phineas> fixed it
[17:02] <evilbug> eZet: yeah, this is more pebkac on his end :) i'm trying to have him understand what i'm saying.

[17:02] <evilbug> BluesKaj: i'm doing this over skype so it takes a bit :)
[17:02] <unperson> Hi.  I have a repository with subdirectories.  I want to have the same exact file appear in two subdirectories.  Ordinarily I'd just make a hard link.  Should I do that an tell the repo to track the new hard link as well, or is there a different way to do this correctly?
[17:03] <unperson> shoot.  sorry, wrong channel
[17:04] <ubuntu> hi, when i want to start my existing ubuntu the computer says "boot error" on a black screen. anyone knows this?
[17:08] <evilbug> BluesKaj, eZet: the disc works. i have to go into the bios of the other computer.
[17:09] <BluesKaj> evilbug, ok , I guess the boot sequence needs to be changed
[17:10] <eZet> Try having him spam ESC and look for a reference to 'boot options' or similar during boot.
[17:10] <eZet> BluesKaj: Most likely some F-combination, saves you the hassle of explaining the bios to him :)
[17:10] <AmberJ> Hello
[17:10] <CooKieMonster> why my browser keep asking me to install flash player when i already installed it
[17:11] <AmberJ> Is there a way to disable notification messages in ubuntu 10.10? Like we get "eth0 disconnected" or pidgin tray notifications?
[17:11] <eZet> AmberJ: Remove the applet from the panel alltogether.
[17:11] <JohnoP> yo anyone know how to structure a find command to simply out put the file names of the files in a folder. Rather then the whole file path?

[17:14] <luser> is there a way in ubuntu 8.04 to change session type per user?
[17:14] <luser> like gnome for one user and another for other user?
[17:14] <evilbug> BluesKaj: apparently f8, f10, or f12 doesn't work.

[17:17] <Jab1> Hello.
[17:17] <Bruce_Wayne> What is the keyboard shortcut for pasting selection in ubuntu? NOTE: I'm not asking for ctrl+v or Shift+Ins
[17:17] <evilbug> BluesKaj: like i said, i'm doing this remotely and all i can do is give instructions. my buddy tells me that those 3 keys don't work when they're pressed at boot. and he also tells me there's no splash at first boot so he can't see what "f" key is rquired to enter the bios.
[17:17] <Bruce_Wayne> In another words, what is the keyboard shortcut for pasting the x11 clipbord content.
[17:18] <Bruce_Wayne> Anyone?
[17:18] <karlo94> what pastebin's exist?
[17:18] <CooKieMonster_> just how hard it is to install flash player in ubuntu ?
[17:18] <Bruce_Wayne> karlo94: What do you mean?
[17:18] <BluesKaj> evilbug, usually the BIOS requires f1 or f2 in my experience some also will open with f10
[17:19] <vic20gmr> banker247, may i ask what your trying to accomplish? im still waiting on my get apt to finish, but mabe i can still help some other way? and/or someone else can help if they know more
[17:19] <karlo94> websites for pasting larger codes, or text.. etc
[17:19] <Weapon_X> anyone know how to use terminal server client
[17:19] <luser> well
[17:20] <Weapon_X> Does any one know how to connect ubuntu to a windows machince,  Im in a differnet state my dad downloaded vnc for windows and I cant connect to his pc
[17:20] <ubuntu_> hi all, I tried upgrading from Ubuntu 10.04 => 10.10, and now when I'm booting, it keeps stalling at the Ubuntu Splash screen.....if I Escape out of the splash screen, it seems like it is stalling at a some power-battery check or something
[17:20] <ubuntu_> any suggestions?
[17:20] <evilbug> BluesKaj: f2 worked this time around.
[17:20] <Weapon_X> yea upgrading always gives issues
[17:20] <tecnico> Weapon_X: rdesktop
[17:20] <Bruce_Wayne> Weapon_X: Try samba
[17:21] <jenny> anyone here?
[17:21] <Weapon_X> Bruce_Wayne, but I am in a differnt state
[17:21] <ubuntu_> my thoughts were to Install 10.10 from CD, some I'm in an old (8.x) Ubuntu LiveCD now...but how do I ejecty it to burn an ISO file?
[17:21] <ded`> How do I disable Ctl-alt-backspace? I.e. PREVENT it from killing X server?
[17:21] <Weapon_X> do I have to do anyhting else to get it to connecgt
[17:21] <Weapon_X> or just download
[17:21] <ikonia> jenny: there are 1400+ people idleing
[17:21] <luser> this is useless
[17:22] <tecnico> Weapon_X: he needs to enable terminal services and you need to allow port 3389 through his home router.
[17:22]  * BluesKaj wonders if those IM clients list nicks
[17:22] <Weapon_X> tecnico, what would htat program do
[17:22] <Weapon_X> ahhh
[17:22] <evilbug> BluesKaj: i'm in the bios now and things seem to look in order.
[17:22] <ubuntu_> anyone?
[17:23] <Filimon> How enable file sharing on Xubuntu?
[17:23] <tecnico> Weapon_X: or he could SSH to your machine (ssh -L3389:<IP_ADDRESS>:3389 your.linux.machine -pPORT) and you'd rdesktop to <IP_ADDRESS>:3389
[17:23] <ikonia> ubuntu_: anyone what ?
[17:23] <BluesKaj> evilbug, make sure the cdrom is the first device in the boot order
[17:23] <Weapon_X> it says on local network
[17:23] <Weapon_X> he is not on my network
[17:24] <tecnico> Weapon_X: so?
[17:24] <ubuntu_> ikonia: (a) I upgraded 10.04 => 10.10, it now stalls at Ubuntu boot screen...if I escape out, I see it is stalling after checking battery power level or something like that
[17:24] <Weapon_X> ok found something
[17:24] <ubuntu_> ikonia: (b) So how do I fix that? ; (c) Or alternatively, I'm d/l-ing 10.10 LiveCD now to install fresh, but I'll have no way to boot the damn thing if I can't eject my current LiveCD and burn 10.10 LiveCD
[17:25] <Rommy> hi
[17:25] <Weapon_X> so the only way is if I get him to change the firewall settings
[17:25] <Weapon_X> I would have figured that program would have disabled that port if possible
[17:25] <Rommy> hi
[17:26] <ikonia> ubuntu_: no idea without working it through
[17:26] <tecnico> Weapon_X: rdesktop is a terminal services client. It shows the desktop as if you were there. It'd lock the screen for your Dad while you are conneted. If you want to share the screen so he sees what you do, then you can use VNC
[17:26] <Weapon_X> tecnico, ok cool
[17:26] <v_v> !rdesktop
[17:26] <Su> I'm currently running Koala on my laptop. Is there a way through the update manager to SKIP the LTS release and go straight to 10.10? LTS makes my system unbootable.
[17:26] <Weapon_X> so now I just have to gudie him to open that port
[17:26] <Weapon_X> right?
[17:26] <Weapon_X> if I use rdesktop, does he need a program to install
[17:26] <tecnico> Weapon_X: the SSH example I gave you was so that he would connect to your machine with a  local forward tunnel.. so you are tunneling all RDP protocol through the SSH connetion and don't have to open any incoming port on his router
[17:27] <ubuntu_> ikonia: in that case, any idea how to eject this damn LiveCD?
[17:27] <Weapon_X> ok cool so I would just use ssh and then his IP?
[17:27] <ikonia> ubuntu_: you can't eject it while it's running
[17:27] <tecnico> Weapon_X: he needs to go to MyPC somewhere and allow People to connect to his desktop....  let me check where that it
[17:27] <ubuntu_> god damnit
[17:27] <tecnico> Weapon_X: not you. He is the one that would SSH into your machine
[17:27] <ubuntu_> I know there was a way to load the entire LiveCD into RAM, then u could eject
[17:28] <tecnico> Weapon_X: and you'd use the local forward tunnel to then connect back
[17:28] <ikonia> ubuntu_: there isn't
[17:28] <ubuntu_> god damnit
[17:28] <Gnea> !language | ubuntu_
[17:29] <tecnico> Weapon_X: he needs to go to MyComputer->Remote->Allow users to remotely connet
[17:29] <ded`> Anyone know how to prevent Ctl-Alt-Backspace from killing the X server?
[17:30] <ubuntu_> I remember there was some way to boot LiveCD so you could eject it
[17:30] <Gnea> ubuntu_: the thing is, it *can* be done, it just hasn't been done
[17:30] <Weapon_X> ok give me a sec
[17:30] <ubuntu_> Gnea: you're wrong....I remember doing this years ago
[17:30] <Gnea> ubuntu_: am I? URL or it didn't happen.
[17:30] <ubuntu_> Gnea: there is some boot option on the CD that loads the entire hing into RAM,
[17:31] <ubuntu_> Gnea: that's why I'm freakin' asking here! IF  I could find the URL, I wouldn't be here!
[17:31] <smw> ded`, it doesn't kill xserver...
[17:31] <Gnea> ubuntu_: well if you don't have proof to back your claim up, do NOT tell me I'm wrong!
[17:31] <otak> ubuntu_: I believe you can do that with slax or puppy if you want to burn a cd but it depends on your ram
[17:31] <smw> ded`, I though they disabled ctrl+alt+backspace
[17:31] <ubuntu_> Gnea: proof is hat I did it years ago
[17:31] <smw> ded`, I am going to try it
[17:31] <ded`> smw, try it
[17:31] <ubuntu_> 8GB of RAM
[17:31] <Guest80214> used pidgin for icq and msn. stopped working for me. A want an easy graphical messenger with icq... any recomendation? Kapote?
[17:31] <smw> ded`, not working
[17:32] <Gnea> ubuntu_: doubtful that you did it with an Ubuntu livecd, which is the point of contention here.
[17:32] <Su> ubuntu_: Then you were right years ago. Gnea is asking you to prove it NOW.
[17:32] <bindi> ubuntu_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM this?
[17:32] <ded`> smw, don't believe you :)
[17:32] <Gnea> ubuntu_: are you sure you're not thinking of knoppix or something similar?
[17:32] <tecnico> Weapon_X: he could use Putty to SSH into you and open the tunnel.  Putty->Hostname(your IP),  Port->(your SSH port. 22 by default), SSH->Tunnels->Add new fw port->Source Port (3389), Destination-><IP_ADDRESS>:3389, Local, Auto. Click Add, then connect.  He'll need a username and pwd to login to your machine. It can be any user.   Then you'd rdesktop <IP_ADDRESS>:3389
[17:32] <Datz> Guest80214: you might stop in #pidgin and try to see if you can get pidgin working for you again.
[17:33] <ubuntu_> Gnea: hmm, arg, u may be right...I can't be sure it was Ubuntu LiveCD
[17:33] <Guest80214> Datz: sure but fun trying something new as well.. Any tips?
[17:33] <ubuntu_> arg, this upgrade has sucked
[17:34] <ubuntu_> in that event, know how to make a bootable USB from Kubuntu?
[17:34] <ded`> smw, in any case, it obviously does for me, otherwise I wouldn't be asking.
[17:34] <Gnea> !usb | ubuntu_
[17:34] <ded`> smw, so I'm not sure how you thought your reply would help?
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> Guest80214: could try the pidgin ppa
[17:34] <dar__> hi everybody, i am looking for a cryptsetup guru :) in fact i m trying to use a passphrase alread set with luksFormat with luksAddKey to set a new one but no way to do this operation as characters in key-file are not recognized as a passphrase :(
[17:35] <ericenns> I set a users password to expire at next login in AD and I get the user to try and ssh into a ubuntu machine and it just says permission denied I want them to be able to log in and change there password immediately
[17:35] <MagicJ> how do I change the screens that show while Ubuntu is booting?
[17:35] <evilbug> BluesKaj: so i've made "cdrom" be the first option but the disc still won't boot.
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> MagicJ: there are plymouth themes in the repo, theres a deb for the ubuntu sunrise theme on gnome-loog.org
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[17:36] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: i did not but the disc boots fine on another computer.
[17:36] <MagicJ> ty ActionParsnip but what I really meant, and should have been more clear, "how do I set my own?"
[17:37] <Rommy> hi
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> MagicJ: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/ubuntu-sunrise-plymouth-theme-adds-awe-to-boot-time/
[17:37] <Rommy> hi
[17:37] <Guest80214> ActionParsnip: sure could... But like to try something else then pidgin... I guess its not that big diffrence?   Added Kopete now... Any other good suggestions?
[17:37] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: try F12 at boot, should give you a 1 time boot selecter, choose CD
[17:38] <MagicJ> ty ActionParsnip - now looking at that
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> !irc | Guest80214
[17:38] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: f12 doesn't work either.
[17:38] <Gnea> ubuntu_: perhaps it was Puppy Linux?
[17:38] <ubuntu_> ok, whew, K3B recognized my USB CD-writing drive even though it doesn't show up in the KDE file-browser
[17:38] <ubuntu_> Gnea: I think it might've been Gentoo
[17:38] <mama_> necesito ayuda instale el apache con todas sus dependencias y tambien mysql, configure todo tal como lo explican en este post http://taringa.net/posts/linux/8079927/Como-armar-un-servidor-de-streaming-de-audio-en-una-EEEpc.html ypero cuando me pide user y pass no me acepta la contraseña, dice que esta incorrecta, alguin me puede ayudar porfavor
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: try setting CDROM as ALL bootable devices (if possible)
[17:39] <ubuntu_> Gnea: sorry about snapping, I've just been spazzing out a little bit because it seemed like I was in a hole of no return
[17:39] <Gnea> ubuntu_: lol? gentoo is a decent-sized distro and tends to involve a lot of compiling
[17:39] <Rommy> hi
[17:39] <Gnea> ubuntu_: it's cool, glad you were able to find a way out of it
[17:39] <ubuntu_> Gnea: well, Gentoo and Ubuntu are the only distros I've used
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: well, a whole lot of watching the compile ;)
[17:39] <nightcracker> I have an issue with pidgin when trying to connect to MSN: Unable to validate certificate omega.contacts.msn.com
[17:39] <IdleOne> !es | mama_
[17:39] <Gnea> ubuntu_: www.distrowatch.com ftw
[17:40] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: haha yeah
[17:40] <ubuntu_> when I install Ubuntu 10.10 from LiveCD, I"ll be able to keep my account settings & users, right, as I ave a separate /home partition?
[17:40] <mama_> I need help installing Apache with all its dependencies and also mysql, set up everything as explained in this post http://taringa.net/posts/linux/8079927/Como-armar-un-servidor-de-streaming-de- audio-in-a-EEEpc.html Yper when she asks me user and pass me not accepting the password, says that is incorrect, please help me alguine (GOOGLE TRANSLATE)
[17:40] <melvster> anyone know if i can find out if a filesystem is ext2 or ext3 using the command line?
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: you can do the same as emerge with apt-build in ubuntu
[17:40] <Gnea> ubuntu_: pretty much
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> melvster: sudo parted -l
[17:40] <melvster> thanks!
[17:40] <MagicJ> ActionParsnip: I am missing something here - on the URL that you sent me I do not see how to set my own at all
[17:41] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: nifty, will have to keep that in mind, makes a lot more sense than having a compile farm
[17:41] <ubuntu_> Gnea: so all data will be intact, and I should be able to re-get prog settings from /home...I also have a ~/bin under my main user for custom software, that should also be good too, provided I reinstall necessary deps?
[17:41] <Guest80214> ActionParsnip: i dont follow the rules or what was that about?
[17:42] <Gnea> ubuntu_: do you mean to say that you're upgrading your current installation to 10.10 or you're going to use the livecd to do it?
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> MagicJ: there is a link to gnome-look where there is a deb to install the splash
[17:42] <MagicJ> Ty ActionParsnip I will check that - brb
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Guest80214: there is a link in ubottu's factoid to a list of irc clients you can try....
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: can help with wine if its running badly
[17:42] <W3ird_N3rd> is it possible to download older wine versions from the ubuntu-wine ppa?
[17:43] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: hm? apt-build?
[17:43] <Guest80214> ActionParsnip: icq and msn clients we where talking about... Xchat gnome does its job even though i got other pure irc clients
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: http://polishlinux.org/linux/debian/apt-build-optimize-debian/
[17:43] <ubuntu_> Gnea: I had 10.04 and stupidly upgraded to 10.10...ran into some error trying to do it, workaround said o remove x11-something, w/c removed almost everything else...then had to upgrade from termiinal window (still in GUI, stayed in RAM). Seemed to reinstall everything. Then had to reboot. Reboot stalls after checking battery state (this is what is happening "behind the scenes" when the Ubuntu boot thingy is flashing)
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest80214: oh i thought you said irc
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> !icq
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[17:44] <nightcracker> I have an issue with pidgin when trying to connect to MSN: Unable to validate certificate omega.contacts.msn.com
[17:45] <ubuntu_> Gnea: so then I booted Ubuntu 9.04 liveCD, which for some reason gave ugly artifacts in KDE / X on my 30in LCD...so tried 8.10 LiveCD which is working ok one booted
[17:45] <Guest80214> ActionParsnip: ive installed Kopete and it seems to to work fine...
[17:45] <ivaninsect> test hello
[17:45] <ubuntu_> I'm gonna try rebooting and noting the error at the stall out point
[17:45] <Guest80214> nightcracker: me 2 but tryed kopete now instead. works just fine this far.
[17:45] <nightcracker> @guestblablablaa: I need GFire
[17:46] <nightcracker> thats better ;)
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> Guest80214: if it ain't broke ;)
[17:46] <egsome> How to make fonts in Java applications smaller ?

[17:46] <HRPufnstuf> I everyone is so happy w/ Ubuntu Linux - why so many problems?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> HRPufnstuf: different hardware and different configurations cause issues
[17:47] <Su> HRPufnstuf: Because most people who are happy with their software are busy using it rather than talking about it.
[17:47] <ikonia> HRPufnstuf: ?
[17:47] <Guest80214> nightcracker: /j #pidgin
[17:47] <nightcracker> @HRPufnstuf: Because we live in a microsoft world
[17:47] <ubuntu_> I'll be back soon in 10.10 LiveCD and a detailed error report
[17:47] <ikonia> nightcracker: please don't talk nonsense
[17:48] <HRPufnstuf> I grew up on M$ and Linux - and I don't have any problems - it kinda works right out of the box
[17:48] <nightcracker> @ikonia: I'm not ;) A little fun/windows bashing can't hurt can it?
[17:48] <ikonia> nightcracker: please don't
[17:48] <andy12345> hi, there is no way I can connect to internet from ubuntu, so I want to install my wifi drivers, I downloaded the wifi drivers for linux, what is the command to install them?
[17:49] <ikonia> !wifi > andy12345
[17:50] <stellarnight> Speaking of wifi, I need someone to throw some ideas at me on how to get mine working. I've been trying for a few days now.
[17:50] <andy12345> @ikonia Thank you I went through it, but I woul really like to know the "command" to use in terminal to install any packages downloaded, but when offline
[17:50]  * DASPRiD throws peanuts at stellarnight
[17:50] <stellarnight> Lol
[17:50] <HRPufnstuf> was just playing - and I am happy with Ubuntu Linux myself - and really have no prob's and I'm on a 2001 box
[17:50] <DASPRiD> andy12345, packages are installed with dpkg -i package.deb
[17:50] <stellarnight> andy12345: The command depends on the computer.
[17:51] <theshadow> Question in Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition what happened to ALT+F2?
[17:51] <DASPRiD> stellarnight, andy12345: and how the driver was packaged
[17:51] <andy12345> .tarz.gz something
[17:51] <andy12345> I will extract it first
[17:51] <andy12345> right?
[17:51] <DASPRiD> right
[17:51] <stellarnight> That's right.
[17:51] <hagus> I have a machine with 160Gb hard drive.  It runs windows xp and connects with the internet.  I want to delete everything and install ubuntu10.10 instead.  However, whilst windows can find my wireless network - ubuntu does not seem to be able to.  I have selected to enable networks.  However, it does not even scan for wireless networks in my vicinity!  Any idea how I can enable network so that it connects to my wifi ?
[17:51] <andy12345> @DASPRiD Thank You very much hope you have a nice day
[17:51] <DASPRiD> andy12345, if there's a configure file in it, the usual tripple may be enough: ./configure && make && sudo make install
[17:52] <stellarnight> hagus: That's my problem!
[17:52] <DASPRiD> stellarnight, learn to share! :PO
[17:53] <hagus> I am trying to install from the install icon.  Glad that I am not alone, stellarnight - but sorry that you should be struggling too :)
[17:53] <dewey_> could someone tell me if I could run a upstart script without sudo?
[17:53] <Remarc1> I have installed Maverick ubuntu 10.10 and I have sound problem, actually it doens't work. Has anybody has a solution for this problem?
[17:53] <andy12345> @DASPRiD, if there is a configure file then after "opening terminal in that folder" and running ./configure && make && sudo make install should do it?
[17:53] <stellarnight> hagus: Ubuntu says that everything should be in working order and I've tried anything I've found in doc pages but still nothing.
[17:53] <B-r00t> Remarc1: try killall pulseaudio
[17:54] <DASPRiD> andy12345, probably
[17:54] <Remarc1> ok I try
[17:54] <hagus> When my install begins, it tells me that my network is not enabled.
[17:54] <wn1zid> just stepped in to say happy turkey day to all.
[17:54] <andy12345> @DASPRiD, actually I have a lot of problems but you just sorted one of them and I can't express my gratitude in word/chat :P
[17:54] <kotelete> hi
[17:54] <hagus> When I click the little icon at the top right hand corner of the screen, I ask it to enable network - it becomes ticked but that's as far as it goes.
[17:55] <DASPRiD> andy12345, just express it in cookies :)
[17:55] <stellarnight> hagus: Likewise. What I *think* it is is a problem with conflicting blacklisting or wireless driver.
[17:55] <kotelete> is there a paket named google earth for maverick?
[17:55] <andy12345> DASPRiD, 80% of those will get solved once I get net :D
[17:55] <stellarnight> hagus: But I can't figure out how to change the blacklist files. Even sudo won't let me.
[17:55] <andy12345> @DASPRiD, ty again and enjoy your day or night or w/e time zone your in :P
[17:55] <DASPRiD> andy12345, thanks, you too
[17:56] <dewey_> does someone know how to run a upstart script (/etc/init/script.conf) without sudo?
[17:56] <stellarnight> hagus: blacklistin *for....
[17:56] <DASPRiD> dewey_, do commands within the upstart script require root privileges?
[17:57] <masterjail> hi! can you connect with pidgin or empathy using a msn account? :S
[17:57] <hagus> When I look at my control panel for the router, the MAC number of the ubuntu computer shows up.
[17:57] <dewey_> DASPRiD: no, they can run as $USER, I've chown the file to $USER but I'm getting the following error
[17:57] <hagus> So, the fault must be at the ubuntu end of things.
[17:57] <dewey_> start: Unable to connect to system bus: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
[17:58] <dewey_> DASPRiD: so the /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket needs a chown for the user as well?
[17:58] <jdimatteo> masterjail: yes
[17:58] <masterjail> jdimatteo: do you know if microsoft changed the msn protocol or something? :S
[18:00] <prasoon> i have a problem with my ubuntu can any one help me
[18:00] <artsi> hello
[18:01] <stellarnight> hagus: Yeah, I tried two other usb wireless cards and tethering my iPhone two different ways and nothing worked. The only program that seemed to acknowledge that I had a wireless card was Wifi Radar and it only worked with a USB wifi card AND I still couldn't connect, but I could see AP's around me.
[18:01] <hagus> My network symbol shows a red "!" and when I click on it, it goes on about VPN.
[18:02] <stellarnight> hagus: What brand of computer are you running it on?
[18:02] <hagus> medion
[18:02] <hagus> However, I have had ubuntu on a medion before.
[18:02] <stellarnight> What is your wireless card vendor?
[18:02] <hagus> need to go n check
[18:03] <stellarnight> I've had Ubuntu on mine as well, previous version. I'm pretty sure wireless worked then.
[18:04] <hagus> creatix ?
[18:04] <hagus> It keeps telling me that my network is disabled and that I am offline.
[18:04] <prasoon> i have ubuntu on my laptop along with kbuntu and win xp... i was trying to change the panel settings when i accidentally put 2 panels on the same location and all  my panels auto hide and when i log it it just freezes  PLEASE PLEASE help me
[18:05] <stellarnight> Weird, I've never heard of that brand. Have you check the ubuntu docs online to see if it is listed?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> hagus: if you run: sudo lshw -C network   you will see the chip used, the make / model is moot.
[18:05] <jdimatteo> masterjail: no, why would you think that?  I just logged into an msn account with Pidgin with no problem
[18:05] <jdimatteo> masterjail: have you tried connecting to an MSN account with Pidgin?
[18:05] <jdimatteo> my wifi network seems insanely slow.  anybody know of good tools to measure latency and packet loss to my wireless router?  is ping really the best thing we have got?
[18:05] <FloodBot3> jdimatteo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> hagus: you can use the chip make / model to find guides
[18:05] <Kingsy> ok, whats going on here, if I share a usb drive on my ubuntu pc (all privs including guest access) then if I try to view that drive from another pc... it comes up with an error.. umm it says "opening pthek" for ages and then unable to mount location error
[18:05] <Kingsy> anyone seen this before?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> jdimatteo: i suggest you reboot then run: dmesg | less     read through to see when the wireless is detected, it may need a firmware file
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: how are you sharing the folder
[18:06] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: I just right cliekd and went down to sharing options
[18:06] <kjcole> Are the affects of chattr cached?   I cannot delete a file that I own in a writeable directory... http://paste.ubuntu.com/536390/
[18:07] <Acs> hello
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: ok so you are using samba
[18:07] <greenmang0_> stellarnight: did you try commad line method for wifi?
[18:07] <Kingsy> yea
[18:07] <Acs> I am using grep with these parameters -P -o "prop1=(\d+)&prop2=(\d+)"
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: if you run: smbtree on the client, do you see the share?
[18:07] <Acs> is it posible to just return the contents of the two (\d+)
[18:07] <jdimatteo> ActionParsnip: how do I identify the line in dmesg for networking?
[18:07] <greenmang0_> stellarnight: i am configuring wifi through command line
[18:07] <greenmang0_> stellarnight: s/i am/i mean
[18:08] <aeon-ltd> anyone know what this is in ncmpcpp? (well it looks like ncmpcpp anyway) http://ompldr.org/vNmFobw
[18:08] <prasoon> i have ubuntu on my laptop along with kbuntu and win xp... i was trying to change the panel settings when i accidentally put 2 panels on the same location and all  my panels auto hide and when i log it it just freezes  PLEASE PLEASE help me
[18:09] <jdimatteo> ActionParsnip: ok, I see a bunch of eth0 lines that I believe refer to my wifi, but I don't really know what it means
[18:10] <jdimatteo> is 5% packet loss and an average round trip ping time of 521 ms normal for a home 802.11g network?
[18:11] <cdm10> jdimatteo: No. No it is not.
[18:11] <jdimatteo> cdm10: thanks for verifying.  It does seem ridiculously slow
[18:11] <cdm10> jdimatteo: does that happen even when you're close to the router?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> jdimatteo: keep reading, its fairly english
[18:11] <jdimatteo> cdm10: I am sitting within arms reach of the router
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> !panelreset | prasoon
[18:12] <greenmang0_> prasoon: i just tried adding panel over panel
[18:12] <cdm10> jdimatteo: yuck.. is that pinging the router or pingnig something else on the network?
[18:12] <jdimatteo> cdm10: pinging the router
[18:12] <shadowblade> Can someone help me figure out how to get the monitor connected to the VGA port on my laptop to use the correct resolution? It's a Dell e1505, nvidia drivers are installed.
[18:13] <jdimatteo> do Linksys Wireless-G routers generally suck?  (it is a WRT54G)
[18:13] <prasoon> i am sorry i cant do any thing after i log in it will show just my desktop with icons any shortcutsor can i do that in my kbuntu
[18:13] <ikonia> jdimatteo: nothing to do with ubuntu
[18:13] <cdm10> jdimatteo: No, they don't... I had one and it was great. Is it the same from any other computer on the network? If it's just on a machine running Ubuntu, it could be a driver issue.
[18:15] <jdimatteo> cdm10: it is just the Ubuntu machine.  e.g. my Mac pinging the router shows 0% packet loss and a round trip average of 29ms
[18:15] <kjcole> prasoon:  If you press CTRL-ALT-F1 , you may be able to get to a shell where you can work.
[18:15] <cdm10> jdimatteo: what kind of NIC is in the machine?
[18:15] <airtonix> noob question about eclipse : how to change the tooltip background colour here : http://imagebin.org/124844 (changing my system > preferences > appearance > theme > customise > colours > tooltips color, doesn't seem to affect it)
[18:16] <jdimatteo> cdm10: can you please explain how to find the NIC?
[18:16] <kjcole> prasoon: (and then follow the directions provided by ActionParsnip).
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> jdimatteo: ive deployed a few, they arent bad. Probably the settings in the wifi
[18:16] <jdimatteo> ActionParsnip: thanks for the heads up
[18:16] <airtonix> jdimatteo, NIC is an acronym for : Network Interface Card
[18:16] <cdm10> jdimatteo: the NIC is the network card, what kind of network card do you have?
[18:16] <cdm10> jdimatteo: If you don't know, I can help you find what it is.
[18:17] <littlejoey> !lshw
[18:17] <jdimatteo> cdm10: I don't know.  some intel PCI Express thingie I think... please help me find what it is
[18:17] <cdm10> littlejoey: gesundheit
[18:18] <cdm10> jdimatteo: Littlejoey has it right, although ubotu appears to be MIA at the moment... open a terminal, run "sudo lshw | less", and scroll through until you find your network adapter
[18:18] <kjcole> Any thoughts on why I cannot delete a file I own?  I had set the immutable, but then unset it later.  It currently shows it to be "mutable".  http://paste.ubuntu.com/536390/
[18:19] <bakra> is there a way to fsck an ecryptfs volume?
[18:19] <prasoon> ok i will try and come back here
[18:19] <ZykoticK9_> kjcole, add write support in order to delete
[18:19] <cdm10> bakra: the decrypted device should be under /dev/mapper/something-or-other, you can fsck that.

[18:22] <littlejoey> jdimatteo: did you install the right driver for it?
[18:22] <kjcole> ZykoticK9 and littlejoey, tried with and without sudo... No joy.  Permissions on the directory are fine.
[18:22] <ZykoticK9_> kjcole, sorry I don't know then.  best of luck.
[18:22] <cdm10> Anyone have any ideas on how to change the default font color in OpenOffice?

[18:24] <littlejoey> jdimatteo: yeah it's a bit tricky the first time but there is a page to help you install your driver, let me find it hang on
[18:25] <quiescens> the solution to everything isn't automatically "sudo chmod"
[18:25] <quiescens> lol
[18:25] <jdimatteo> littlejoey: thanks, I appreciate your help.  I'm not used to installing drivers, but I'm happy to read good documentation explaining how
[18:25] <B-r00t> kjcole: login as root : sudo -i : chmod a+wrx -R -v installNC.sh
[18:25] <quiescens> if it was a basic
[18:25] <cdm10> jdimatteo: quite honestly, Ubuntu SHOULD come with the right driver for broadcom chipsets... it worked on mine.
[18:25]  * quiescens sighs
[18:26] <cdm10> jdimatteo: can you check System>Admin>Additional Drivers?
[18:26] <killguta> How do I force monitor resolution without a graphics card? :(
[18:26] <kjcole> B-r00t http://paste.ubuntu.com/536397/
[18:26] <MagicJ> cdm10 - I believe that you need to plug into a wired port one time so that ubuntu can get those drivers.  This at least has been my experience with 10.4
[18:27] <user> luky
[18:27] <jdimatteo> cdm10: "Proprietary drivers are being used to make this computer work...Broadcom STA wireless driver...Tested by the Ubuntu developers...This driver is activated and currently in use
[18:27] <cdm10> MagicJ: His system connects, though.. it's just slow.
[18:27] <littlejoey> interesting
[18:27] <cdm10> jdimatteo: Do you have any other OS on that system?
[18:28] <littlejoey> jdimatteo can you connect to other wireless networks?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> killguta: could use xrandr
[18:28] <cdm10> jdimatteo: also, jsut to rule out some weird temporary router thing, have you tried power-cycling the router?
[18:28] <jdimatteo> cdm10: no, I did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10.  However, I do have a bunch of virtualization stuff installed which I assume has nothing to do with the issues I'm seeing
[18:28] <cdm10> jdimatteo: not that I can think of..
[18:29] <killguta> ActionParsnip: xrandr allows me only 2 resolutions, 800x600 and 640x480
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> killguta: you can add resolutions too
[18:29] <cdm10> killguta: What's wrong with 800x600? In my day.... :P
[18:29] <killguta> ActionParsnip: How? Would you help me?
[18:29] <jdimatteo> cdm10: I haven't tried power cycling the router yet...  this seems like a persistent issue across power cycling though, and keep in mind that my Mac isn't having any latency issues
[18:29] <Pricey> Anyone else unable to connect to msn via empathy?
[18:29] <planedriver> is graphics flickering while running games on ubuntu a known issue (ATI graphics card)?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> killguta: there are examples online as well as: man xrandr
[18:30] <littlejoey> jdimatteo: what is the encryption? is it wpa? I remember I used to have problems with those
[18:30] <killguta> Tried google, but I can't find anything that works
[18:30] <cdm10> jdimatteo: I'm quite out of ideas at the moment... actually, there's a second driver for broadcom devices, called b43... there may be information on the wiki on how to install it.
[18:30] <navpq> Hi all

[18:31] <BluesKaj> !broadcom | jdimatteo
[18:31] <jdimatteo> littlejoey: the encryption is WPA/WPA2 -- do you think that could be it?
[18:32] <littlejoey> jdimatteo: it might be... not sure. Try to set your router to WEP for now if you know how to do that, just to test it
[18:32] <killguta> ActionParsnip: Bing?! Isn't that spawn of the MicroSoft? :D
[18:32] <jdimatteo> ok, lots of information, thanks everybody, I'll read this documentation
[18:32] <BluesKaj> cdm10, din't see your post
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> killguta: its microsoft's search engine. yes....
[18:33] <Zack> My 'notification' applet in my tray says i'm connected to my home's wireless connection, but i am unable to load web pages. Any suggestions?
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> Zack: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[18:33] <littlejoey> Zack: check the modem, cables etc
[18:33] <Zack> i am on the same wireless connection on a separate laptop talking to you right now
[18:33] <littlejoey> oh lol
[18:34] <Zack> when i type ping <IP_ADDRESS> in terminal it echos the command but doesn't appear to be doing anything..
[18:34] <littlejoey> Zack: could it be a driver thing?
[18:34] <Zack> 100% packet loss
[18:34] <jdimatteo> wow, did ubottu really just parse littlejoey's compliment and respond intelligently?  some bot, lol
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> Zack: then you aren't connected, or don't have an ip address on the adapter
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> jdimatteo: ubottu is smart, but not intelligent ;)
[18:35] <navpq> how to install adobe flash player ?
[18:35] <cdm10> !flash | navpq
[18:36] <Zack> all i know is that i am able to connect to the same network with the same laptop on the windows boot and it tells me i am connected in the tray.
[18:36] <erUSUL> navpq: install flashplugin-instaler
[18:36] <cdm10> gah, that doc is outdated and painful.
[18:36] <littlejoey> Zack: what is your card, and what is your driver?

[18:36] <littlejoey> oh come on ubottu
[18:37] <Zack> littlejoey - where might i find that information?
[18:37] <cdm10> it doesn't know lshw
[18:37] <littlejoey> Zack type sudo lshw | less

The discs are labeled by default "APTonCD", so when I insert the disc it gets mounted to "/media/APTonCD". I can add a sources.list entry that reads "de

[18:40] <ActionParsnip> Colegiance: if you add the mozilla ppa you can install it using the package system, i recommend you remove it after installing the browser so it doesn't update the other firefox or thunderbird (if you use it)

[18:46] <ActionParsnip> elyos: all i did was websearch. I have no experience of sql at all...
[18:46] <AzizLight> ActionParsnip, thanks, that fixed the problem :)
[18:46] <greenmang0> MGMT: the synclient binary is provided by  xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package
[18:47] <OY1R> is it ok for me to remove all the items that Computer Janitor has marked ?
[18:47] <greenmang0> MGMT: i don't have xorg.conf
[18:48] <greenmang0> MGMT: you will have to enable SHMConfig
[18:48] <MagicJ> ActionParsnip - ty so much the link that you gave me did give me how to make my own screens, or at least guided me enough that I worked it out
[18:48] <ZykoticK9_> greenmang0, if you need/want to create an xorg.conf you can see my notes at http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/create-an-xorg-conf-file
[18:48] <greenmang0> MGMT: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[18:48] <MGMT>  greenmang0 that will make it so i can use the button on my laptop to disable it?
[18:49] <Zack> littlejoey?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> MagicJ: sweet :0
[18:49] <greenmang0> ZykoticK9_: thanks.... but I guess my system is running happily without it :)
[18:50] <greenmang0> MGMT: oh ... so you mean the button on your laptop is not able to disable touchpad?
[18:50] <MGMT> yes, thats exactly what im saying
[18:50] <MagicJ> so, now my next question - how do I stop some of the user accounts showing on the menu of accounts that comes up to sign on - clearly there is a method because some don't show
[18:50] <MGMT> the only way ive been able to disable the mousepad is by using a terminal and the comand "sudo modprobe -r psmouse"
[18:51] <littlejoey> Zack: I found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/575492
[18:51] <Zack> littlejoey, i can't explain it but it just started.. working
[18:51] <littlejoey> Zack: and this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470820
[18:51] <littlejoey> hahaha
[18:51] <greenmang0> MGMT: is it a single button or involves the combination... like FunctionKey + DisableTouchPadKey
[18:51] <Zack> =] but thank you - i very much appreciate your help!
[18:51] <MGMT> its a button with a picture of a touchpad and a / through it
[18:51] <littlejoey> Zack: ok but if you experience problems again then look up those links
[18:52] <MGMT> its not a fn then the button, its just a button like the power button
[18:52] <Zack> absolutely! thanks!
[18:52] <greenmang0> MGMT: ok
[18:53] <greenmang0> MGMT: i don't know ... installing gsynaptics  might help
[18:53] <MGMT> alright
[18:55] <mmcji> I need a url with instructions on the proper way to setup nic bonding no ubuntu server 10.10
[18:55] <oldschool> hi everyone
[18:56] <mmcji> everything i am finding refers to bonding as done prior to 10.04
[18:56] <greenmang0> MGMT: well.. i have a file > http://pastebin.com/UsKVXW3L
[18:56] <MGMT> greenmang0 i think i found the solution with gsynaptics
[18:56] <greenmang0> MGMT: wow
[18:56] <MGMT> the button still doesnt work but i found an option that does what i want
[18:57] <MGMT> i turned off tapping to click
[18:57] <oldschool> mneptok are you around ?
[18:57] <MGMT> i program java and the mouse keeps putting the cursor where i dont want it on my netbook

[19:03] <vitall> good afternoon
[19:04] <elyos> my mysql install just got messed up, i can no longer log in as root, is there some easy ubuntu way of resetting the root password?
[19:04] <elyos> it's not just the regular directions, because there's some special ubuntu stuff in the way
[19:04] <vitall> i'm having problem with ubuntu one some one can help me ?
[19:04] <ikonia> elyos: no, you have to start the database without grant tables and reset the password that way, it's well documented on the mysql site
[19:04] <greenmang0> elyos: dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server
[19:04] <ZykoticK9_> vitall, there is an ubuntuone channel
[19:05] <vitall> ok thanks
[19:05] <elyos> ikonia, i cant figure out how to do that with ubuntu, it's not letting me like the instructions say
[19:05] <ikonia> elyos: there is no special ubuntu stuff to stop you recovering / resetting the password
[19:05] <ikonia> elyos: what part is failing
[19:05] <vitall> i didn't founded
[19:05] <elyos> /etc/init.d/mysql start --skip-grant-tables   is not allowed on ubuntu
[19:06] <LinuxGuy2009> Ok so I ruled out if APTonCD created discs are incompatible or formated wrong for 10.04 repository discs. I tried inserting the 10.04.1 Desktop CD in the drive and its mounted dynamically with the same format of /media/<volume-label> and it also can NOT be added as a package source just like the APTonCD discs. Whats up with this?
[19:06] <ZykoticK9_> elyos, init.d is the old (non-upstart) method to manage services
[19:06] <ikonia> elyos: thats now how you start it
[19:06] <elyos> ikonia, it's not working
[19:06] <greenmang0> elyos: are you talking about mysql password ? or system password?
[19:06] <ikonia> elyos: you need to pass it as an option to the mysqld_safe program that launches mysqld for you
[19:07] <ikonia> elyos: the guide doesn't say use an init script, it says start mysqld with --skip-grant-tables
[19:07] <ikonia> elyos: passing options to init scripts like that doesn't work
[19:07] <elyos> ikonia, thx i'll try that
[19:08] <LinuxGuy2009> Discs that you want to use as a software source need to be mounted specifically to the mount point "/media/apt/". Why did they change something like that?
[19:08] <elyos> ikonia, do i have to find the actual binary mysql file?
[19:08] <SuperTeece> Hi all
[19:08] <ikonia> elyos: mysqld is the binary
[19:10] <wrd> Hi! I need newer packages than in the current release. Sometimes I end up porting packages from debian unstable, because I don't want clutter in my /usr/local. I think about making my own PPA so others can actually use these packages. I wonder if ubuntu-devs actually import PPA packages to the next stable release. Or should I contact somebody, so that work isn't done twice?
[19:10] <wildc4rd> evenin all!
[19:10] <mattwj2002> hey guys
[19:10] <elyos> ikonia, thx for all the help
[19:11] <mattwj2002> I could use some help
[19:11] <ikonia> elyos: no problem
[19:11] <Gazuul> check - pls respond
[19:11] <velko> Gazuul, works
[19:11] <velko> !ask > mattwj2002
[19:11] <Gazuul> thx welko - good night :-9
[19:12] <grindhold> is there any current _trustworthy_ information about when Gnome- RGBA will finally implemented in ubuntu?
[19:12] <mattwj2002> sorry velko.....does anyone know have a good guide for setting up a syslog server?
[19:12] <mmcji> i figured it out
[19:12] <ikonia> grindhold: no
[19:13] <grindhold> ikonia: thanks. all's just rumour
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> wrd: using debian debs will make your OS a mess, there are ubuntu ppas which wont cause this
[19:15] <SuperTeece> I have issues blacklisting a module. I add "blacklist radeon" to blacklist.conf yet it still loads after restart. Ideas?
[19:15] <francisco> can someone please gimme a good pdf creator for linux? I want to make books, but I'm confused x.x
[19:16] <grindhold> francisco: afaik, openoffice.org has an exporter
[19:16] <wrd> ActionParsnip: why? I usually rebuild them on my local machine
[19:16] <irv> anyone out there running 10.10 on a MBP 1,1?
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> wrd: ah then if they are compiled its fine
[19:17] <SuperTeece> registration complete.. am I chatting out now?
[19:17] <aricz> SuperTeece: yesssss
[19:17] <SuperTeece> was I before?
[19:17] <aricz> No idea :)
[19:18] <SuperTeece> I don't want to accidentally  spam my issue
[19:18] <velko> SuperTeece, yes but nobody who knows the answer to your problem has answered
[19:18] <DavidJHeinrich> hi all, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 fresh...stuff looks pretty ugly, text fonds ugly, fonts not anti-aliased...and I kept my /home folder (it was its own partition). How can I get my users back in /home? I have user folders in /home other than the one I created when installing 10.10 fresh...
[19:18] <SuperTeece> ok thanks
[19:18] <mattwj2002> !syslog
[19:19] <wrd> DavidJHeinrich: did you backup the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files?
[19:19] <fzeta> nas noches, perlas:)
[19:19] <DavidJHeinrich> wrd: arg, no  Ididn't....I didn't know there was any user data outside of /home
[19:20] <DavidJHeinrich> wrd: people had said that if you ave /home as its own partition, when reinstalling you don't lose your users!
[19:21] <erUSUL> !es | fzeta
[19:21] <wrd> DavidJHeinrich: well the only content that is lost then is the username/password pairs... not exactly sure: but just readding the users should be fine, you should take care of the user and group id's in your home partition though. Otherwise the home directories actually belong to somebody else.
[19:21] <DavidJHeinrich> wrd: oh wait, I backed up all of my folders to an external 2TB HD
[19:21] <wildc4rd> what would be the quickest X to run on a netbook? got Gnome at the moment, but its a bit slow
[19:22] <wildc4rd> (running 10.10)
[19:22] <fzeta> thx ubottu
[19:22] <_spm_Draget> Ubuntu 10.04.1 here. When mounting a samba share, filenames with a colon ':' are manged by samba to some cryptic names. It does this for windows-clients that cannot handle ':' in filenames. But ubuntu could handle these, since posix has no problems with ':'. On a different machine (64bit gentoo, 2.6.35 with cifs module and default mount settigns) it can read the files including the : without problems. Can I make ubuntu tell samba
[19:22] <_spm_Draget> somehow that it is not a windows client?
[19:22] <DavidJHeinrich> wrd: brb, have to reboot, installed ATI's prop drivers
[19:23] <SuperTeece> I'm looking to uninstall ATI module or stop from loading... ideas?
[19:24] <DavidJHeinrich> ok, installing ATI's proprietary drivers made everything look much better
[19:24] <DavidJHeinrich> now text is anti-aliased, fonts are nice, etc
[19:31] <irv> anyone out there running 10.10 on a MBP 1,1?
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> What's an MBP?
[19:31] <irv> mac book pro, sorry
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> !mac
[19:32] <irv> thanks, i've been there and they have no info on that revision, hence my asking here :)
[19:32] <irv> sorry, on that revision/version
[19:33] <lahwran> can someone throw me the factiod about how to reset the gnome panel?
[19:33] <jeand_> ubuntu.fr
[19:33] <jeand_> bjr
[19:33] <sT331h0rs3> killall gnome-panel
[19:33] <sT331h0rs3> This? Or completely?
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> irv: what's you issue?
[19:33] <xangua> !panels | lahwran sT331h0rs3
[19:34] <jeand_> bonjour tt le monde
[19:34] <irv> no issue, just wondering if they experienced any compatibility issues.
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Irv: I'm sure lots of people do
[19:34] <lahwran> xangua, thank you very much
[19:34] <rww> ubottu: fr | jeand_
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> Irv: never understood it though, overpriced hardware to then put linux on... may as well buy a non-mac lappy, same speed at half the price and more than likely get better compatibiliyu
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Irv: could check the ubuntu hcl
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> !hcl
[19:39] <Tweaky> hi. i have a cable that goes from vga output to svideo. however, my pc is not outputing an svideo signal. is there any way to change the output from vga to svideo? (im using a dvi-d monitor connection but pc has vga as well) and yes both outputs do work at the same time if i connect a vga monitor, but id like to convert this vga output to svideo
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Tweaky: what video chip?
[19:40] <dorkface> Hi all.  I currently have a point-to-point connection between two PC's using a crossover cable.  One of the PCs is an ubuntu box with a samba share setup.  However, when I use that point to point network, for some reason, it takes ~1 minute for the computer to decide that it wants to ask for credentials.  Is this normal?  How would I troubleshoot it?
[19:41] <Tweaky> ActionParsnip: ATI Radeon 4200
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> dorkface: are you accessing the share via ip or name?
[19:42] <tropclass> cc

[19:43] <grendal_prime> damn my parrents are in brandson misoure at a wallmart trying to find a usb wireless adapter to use with there ubuntu laptop
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> !fr
[19:43] <grendal_prime> can anyone recommend one?
[19:43] <tibrox> I edited my .bashrc incorrectly and wiped my PATH.  How can I restore it?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | grendal_prime
[19:44] <brontoeee> grendal_prime, i got d-link the other day, works ok
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: restore your backup
[19:44] <Tweaky> ActionParsnip: i guess im wondering if there is some sort of software available that i can output an svideo signal out of vga
[19:44] <tibrox> ActionParsnip, lol.  What backup?
[19:45] <quiescens> to my knowledge the default .bashrc doesn't do anything to PATH anyway
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: either your regular backup, or the backup you made before you started playing
[19:45] <tibrox> ActionParsnip, it's more real when playing without a backup...
[19:45] <duffydack> Im getting an error when sudo apt-get update, the extras keyring is not there, yet it IS there, its installed and I have reinstalled it.  This is fresh install of maverck
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: I'm guessing you have neither, so you can copy the one from /root and chown it to $USER:$USER
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: no its more dumb, you have no rollback path if you screwup
[19:46] <_spm_Draget> Ubuntu 10.04.1 here. When mounting a samba share, filenames with a colon ':' are manged by samba to some cryptic names. It does this for windows-clients that cannot handle ':' in filenames. But ubuntu could handle these, since posix has no problems with ':'. On a different machine (64bit gentoo, 2.6.35 with cifs module and default mount settigns) it can read the files including the : without problems. Can I make ubuntu tell samba
[19:46] <_spm_Draget> somehow that it is not a windows client? I think it is some client-side config...
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: all it would've taken was: cp $HOME/.bashrc $HOME/.bashrc_backup
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: you now have a known working file you can fall back on easily
[19:47] <wrd> ActionParsnip: thanks for your answer. you didn't answer though if packages in PPA end up in universe some time later.
[19:47] <tibrox> ActionParsnip, yeah, I never thought I'd need that.  I have my other data backed up, fwiw
[19:48] <quiescens> root's .bashrc is different to a user's default .bashrc, anyway, more to the point, /etc/skel/.bashrc is what gets copied when a new user is created
[19:48] <fivethreeo> is there a way to install multiple python versions alongside eachoter in ubuntu?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> tibrox: cool, always always always make copys of conf files before playing and you'll be fine
[19:49] <ActionParsnip> wrd: the later versions of packages get added in the standard package review
