[16:55] <kuuki> what is the command for safely remove pendrive?
[16:55] <sidd_mak> mtt : interruption may corrupt windows
[16:55] <mtt> sidd_mak ok, i'll have to wait
[16:55] <undecim> pickled_: then mount with this command: sudo mount -o rw,loop,uid=pickled /path/to/disk/image /path/to/mount/point
[16:55] <ayecee> irishman2020: who knows, might work. That would also mean no high speed usb.
[16:56] <cal_> where do I add this so I don't have to run it after every reboot.. rc.local? --> modprobe lirc-serial
[16:56] <irishman2020> ayecee: I'll test it and see if that works.  would I need to reboot to receive results?
[16:56] <pickled_> undecim: thanks a lote mate, i'll give that a whirl
[16:56] <mtt> but after this operation, will there be other steps as long as this?? i'll have to sleep...

[16:56] <ayecee> irishman2020: don't know.
[16:57] <irishman2020> ayecee: thanks, gonna give it a go.  I think I'll probably have to reboot... well, whats the command to check for new usb devices?
[16:57] <Hilarie> I need to reduce the speed at which my processor operates due to heat issues, where would I start?

[16:58] <daedaluz> bencahill: did you verify image integrity on liveCD?
[16:58] <irishman2020> ayecee: hehe "Fatal: Module ehci_hcd is built in".
[16:59] <ayecee> irishman2020: ouch.
[16:59] <bencahill> daedaluz: not this one, but this happens with verified cds also, it's the laptop, weird hardware or something...
[16:59] <bencahill> daedaluz: this any clue? "udevd[81]: worker [223] unexpectedly returned with status 0x100"

[17:00] <pickled_> is that right?
[17:00] <mtt> sidd_mak, how long will it take to complete? consider that after this operation there's another operation called "move sda2 to the right", then there'll be the deletion of the previous partition (hp_tools) then it'll create my extended partition...

[17:02] <aioobe_> hi! I just switched window-manager. I still want USB drives to be automatically mounted. Most HOWTOs says that you should add "gnome-volume-manager" to the session, but I don't have that program. Is it called something else in Maverick??
[17:02] <discozohan> My console shows me "?" characters instead of russian cyrillic characters. What's the best way to fix it ?
[17:02] <amit> irishman2020:doenot work i tried

[17:04] <ayecee> sandmann: you, I guess? :)
[17:04] <bencahill> hey guys, a new 10.10 install hangs after "Begin: Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done", what happens after that?
[17:04] <tf87> Hi. I just updated sudo in my ubuntu server and now it will not start
[17:04] <tf87> 10.04
[17:04] <sandmann> ayecee yes :)
[17:04] <mtt> sidd_mak: well, ok. let's hope it's not too much, tomorrow i have to get up quite early...
[17:04] <sandmann> someone else maybe too, with a solution?
[17:04] <undecim> tf87: At what point does it fail?
[17:05] <ayecee> sandmann: would usually depend on the model of the laptop
[17:05] <sandmann> ibm x61
[17:05] <undecim> tf87: And by start, you mean the boot process, correct? Not using a sudo command?
[17:05] <irishman2020> amit: have you tried downloading another sound theme? (http://gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=25)
[17:05] <pickled_> undecim: nope :(

[17:06] <undecim> pickled_: what is the output of "mount | grep floppy"?
[17:06] <sandmann> ayecee: i only have ubuntu running, didnt want to put microsoft on the laptop
[17:06] <tf87> undecim: yes the boot process. I updated 5 of my ubuntu 10.04 vps machines with the sudo dpkg that just came out, now they won't boot >:|   http://pastebin.com/9kipRUA0
[17:06] <bencahill> what are boot options i could try to get my laptop working?
[17:06] <tomatto_> where find ubuntu release version?

[17:07] <IdleOne> tomatto_: lsb_release -a
[17:07] <ayecee> sandmann: ok, do you have a way to rule out bad battery?
[17:07] <sidd_mak> mtt : 23 done with engineering
[17:07] <ayecee> sandmann: when you say it doesn't charge, do you mean that it doesn't run on battery, or runs for a very short time?
[17:07] <Guest85591> Hi. What do I need to change so the usb devices will be auto mounted in rw?
[17:07] <sandmann> ayecee: ubuntu says at every start, that the battery may be broken or old because it has only 30 % capacity left
[17:08] <undecim> pickled_: Can you test those commands we did before? "sudo touch test", etc?
[17:08] <ne2k> akos: it is common for on-board SD drivers not to be supported by linux
[17:08] <ne2k> akos: SD drives, that is
[17:08] <ne2k> akos: can you find the device ID under lspci or lsusb? then search google for it
[17:08] <akos> ne2k, erm... this is a card reader
[17:08] <ayecee> sandmann: that usually happens when the battery is old. how old is it?
[17:08] <ne2k> akos: is it onboard?
[17:09] <sandmann> ayecee: two and a half years
[17:09] <akos> ne2k, yeah
[17:09] <d2db> grep it
[17:09] <ne2k> akos: well, then what I said stands
[17:09] <ayecee> sandmann: okay, so you're asking how to get it to charge past 30%?
[17:09] <pickled_> undecim: sudo touch /media/floppy/ test
[17:09] <pickled_> touch: setting times of `/media/floppy/': Read-only file system
[17:09] <Guest85591> How can I change the auto mount of usb devices settings?
[17:09] <akos> ne2k, hmm... there is a lot of output from both lspci and lsusb, can't really make out which one would be my controller
[17:09] <bencahill> !grub2
[17:09] <ne2k> akos: pastebin both of them

[17:10] <Yugnoswam> Hello, I am trying to boot windows XP or Windows 7 from USB stick via unetbootin. Could somebody show me how to put the OS Iso's onto the usb stick?
[17:10] <pickled_> undecim: sudo touch /media/floppy/test
[17:10] <pickled_> touch: cannot touch `/media/floppy/test': Read-only file system
[17:10] <ne2k> Yugnoswam: off topic
[17:11] <akos> ne2k, http://pastebin.com/cuhc6Rs9
[17:11] <Yugnoswam> ne2k: I am on ubuntu.
[17:11] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: but its not ubuntu issue
[17:11] <Yugnoswam> ne2k: and it is an ubuntu program. gobbe
[17:11] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: you are trying to put windows on usb-stick and it's windows-issue how to do it
[17:11] <undecim> pickled_: Anything interesting in dmesg?
[17:12] <Yugnoswam> gobbe: it is ubuntu software that I do no understand. The iso's type does not matter.
[17:12] <ne2k> akos: does it work if you boot with a card in?
[17:12] <ne2k> akos: found this: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10294663
[17:12] <ayecee> sandmann: I don't understand what you mean when you say it doesn't charge. Does it remain at 0%?
[17:13] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: just follow instructions of unetbootin, add iso and copy it
[17:13] <akos> yeah i read that, didn't try it yet
[17:13] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: however it wont work and it's not ubuntu issue

[17:13] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: you can do it with dd also
[17:13] <pickled_> undecim: ouch, i guess thats not good:P
[17:13] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: dd if=/path/to/iso.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1m
[17:13] <undecim> pickled: There's the problem.
[17:13] <akos> ne2k, ok, i'll try it now...
[17:13] <ne2k> akos: also while you're rebooting check in bios that it's enabled
[17:13] <undecim> pickled_: there's the problem
[17:13] <Yugnoswam> gobbe: I have tried it twice already and it did not work, I would boot from removable and then it would go to the unetbootin screen to choose which file to boot from but would not let me choose the file or even boot ubuntu.
[17:14] <akos> ne2k, okay
[17:14] <undecim> pickled_: I think you need to rebuild the image.
[17:14] <Yugnoswam> gobbe: it is ubuntu software so is an ubuntu issue.
[17:14] <pickled_> undecim: thanks a lot for help, i'll do that
[17:14] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: well, it's not. If the software gives you error it is, however if you cannot get your windows working from stick it's windows-issue
[17:14] <undecim> pickled_: You know all of what to do? It's not difficult.
[17:15] <IdleOne> Yugnoswam: Windows does not offer iso to boot from usb. the issue is not an Ubuntu issue it is a legality issue. Please stop asking for help with booting Windows from USB. try ##windows.
[17:15] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: and after you stick is created, if unetbootin is not working it's unetbootin-issue and you should ask it from guys created that
[17:15] <ayecee> Yugnoswam: it doesn't look like unetbootin can boot windows xp.
[17:15] <pickled_> undecim: i'll try to use linux mkfsdos thingie (i generated the bpb of that floppy myself so probably why it's a bit naffed)
[17:15] <Boatingbum23> Hello all, im having aproblem with my video quality, when i watch SD videos, the picture is jumpy and laggy, when i watch HD video, the picturelags horribly,
[17:15] <Boatingbum23> any way i can solve this without replacing my video card?
[17:16] <ayecee> Yugnoswam: that is, unetbootin can't make a bootable windows xp usb device.
[17:16] <anao> Yugnoswam try stick format fat first or vfat
[17:16] <undecim> pickled_: "dd if=/dev/zero of=/new/floppy/image bs=1k count =1440" will make a new blank image
[17:16] <Yugnoswam> Ubuntu software, ubuntu operating system, and the iso doesnt make a difference.
[17:16] <Yugnoswam> anao: formatted already
[17:16] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: well, like you told unetbooting cannot boot it, it's unet issue
[17:16] <IdleOne> Yugnoswam: I am not going to ask you again. Please drop this subject it is NOT supported in this channel.
[17:16] <anao> most older bios read only fat for installed ubuntu
[17:17] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: and even more its windows-issue more
[17:17] <d2db> boatman: what video players have you used?
[17:17] <gobbe> Yugnoswam: so just drop it
[17:17] <anao> take live cd ubuntu to create the stick
[17:17] <IdleOne> gobbe: please drop it
[17:17] <IdleOne> thank you :)
[17:17] <wizo> hey
[17:17] <Boatingbum23> movie player, vlc and youtube all do it
[17:17] <gobbe> IdleOne: :)
[17:17] <anao> cause unetbootin often fails to create the mbr of the stick
[17:17] <Yugnoswam> gobbe: if it wasn't a windows iso i was trying to boot from then it would not be a windows issue, it would be ubuntu so why dont you stop being so closed minded and fuck off.
[17:17] <wizo> why does putting files in the server root have to be sudo
[17:17] <wizo> for apache2
[17:17] <akos> ne2k, it's working now, but isn't there a fix for this? so that i wouldn't need to reboot each time I change my SD card?
[17:18] <gobbe> it's nice to provide help
[17:18] <d2db> adn are they all the same
[17:18] <d2db> and
[17:18] <Boatingbum23> pretty much
[17:18] <pickled_> undecim: thanks, gonna have to format it as fat12 just mucking around with an emulator and read a fat12 fs
[17:18] <ne2k> akos: can you change card now and have it recognized?
[17:19] <ne2k> akos: did you not read the link I sent you?
[17:19] <rumpe1> fat12? o.O
[17:19] <akos> i've read it, but haven't found a fix for it there
[17:19] <ne2k> akos: add "pciehp.pciehp_force=1" to your kernel arguments.

[17:21] <dandre> hello,
[17:21] <dandre> is there a black-port of 2.6.37 kernel for maverick?
[17:21] <ne2k> dandre: lol. I think you mean back-port ;-)
[17:22] <Barkhorn> Hi guys, i have a problem getting pcsx2 to work on ubuntu 10.04 64bit: http://pastebin.com/vZwyi8mJ  Something is amiss with the libraries. Anyone got an idea?
[17:22] <dandre> I haven one only for lucid
[17:22] <dandre> yes :-)
[17:22] <ne2k> birrbert: you need to boot linux somehow, then you can fix it from there. a livedisk or install disk ought to do the trick
[17:22] <akos> ne2k, okay, i'll try that, thanks
[17:22] <akos> ne2k, need to edit grub.cfg, right?
[17:23] <d2db> boatman: do you know what video card you have and check the web for what it supports!!
[17:23] <ne2k> akos: no, edit /etc/default/grub, as it says in that article. then run update-grub. otherwise you'll have to do it manually every time there is a kernel update
[17:24] <ne2k> akos: this is the post I keep referring tohttp://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10300553&postcount=86
[17:24] <ne2k> akos: just the first bit of that
[17:24] <birrbert> ne2k: I booted Ubuntu 'cause if I plug in the flash drive, it boots. I don't have opportunity to use an optical drive. I have to fix this issue using the flash drive. any ideas?
[17:25] <IdleOne> Barkhorn: install libwxgtk2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-0
[17:25] <ne2k> birrbert: grub-install <device>
[17:25] <akos> ne2k, okay, thanks for your help
[17:26] <akos> спасибо
[17:26] <IdleOne> Barkhorn: actually just the -dev package should be good
[17:27] <ne2k> akos: Lech Walȩsa!
[17:27] <Barkhorn> thanks IdleOne, that did something: "error while loading shared libraries: libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64"
[17:27] <aioobe_> is there a daemon that handles "automounting" of USB-drives in Gnome? Or is it like part of the core WM?
[17:28] <IdleOne> Barkhorn: got me now.
[17:28] <akos> ne2k, you polish?
[17:28] <ne2k> akos: no, I'm british
[17:28] <akos> ah, okay, sorry then, just saw you writing in russian, so I thought... ehh.. whatever :) take care
[17:29] <ldf> 035
[17:30] <shcherbak> ne2k: Why British would keep polish font?
[17:30] <ne2k> shcherbak: it's a unicode font. eh? what?!

[17:43] <shawnboy> anybody have any ideas?
[17:43] <Pici> tomatto_: Ubuntu releases are named for the year and month they are released.
[17:43] <aioobe_> shcherbak: thanks! Still though, starting that doesn't seem automount USB-drives, and that's what gnome-volume-manager was for if I understand it correctly..
[17:44] <tomatto_> Pici: thx for info
[17:44] <tomatto_> coz_: ok, good
[17:44] <coz_> shawnboy,  it might help to know which video card this is     lspci | grep -i vga
[17:45] <d2db> my internet is so slow!! fecking ireland
[17:45] <shcherbak> aioobe_: for automount go: gconf-editor > apps > nautilus > pref...
[17:45] <shcherbak> aioobe_: you gnome?
[17:46] <aioobe_> shcherbak: I just switch to another WM, but I like to bring Gnomes auto-mounting with me so to speak.....
[17:46] <shawnboy> coz_: AIT M92 (Mobility Radeon HD 4500 series)
[17:46] <aioobe_> looking for which gnome-daemon to put in my xinitrc
[17:46] <shawnboy> coz_: I'm running the latest catalyst/fglrx from ATI.
[17:46] <maco> aioobe_: you can use a different WM and still use GNOME...
[17:46] <maco> aioobe_: i used to use GNOME with Xmonad
[17:46] <aioobe_> maco: okay
[17:46] <shcherbak> aioobe_: you still have have Sound in menu (drag it to get command).
[17:46] <aioobe_> hmmm
[17:46] <scottie> Youtube changed their homepage and now won't play. Ideas, anyone??
[17:46] <coz_> shawnboy,  ok   I am not even close to an ati expert...  if it is a video issue  you may want to go to #radeon    but  I would also ask again here  for help with that
[17:47] <unimaxlin> hi all
[17:47] <aioobe_> maco: I realize this because all my gnome-themes etc still "work"...
[17:47] <grullers> Hello! My dpkg is broken. I updated ubuntu today and during install cron got broken
[17:47] <grullers> dpkg-reconfigure cron
[17:47] <grullers> stop: Unknown instance:
[17:47] <grullers> dpkg-maintscript-helper: error: couldn't identify the package
[17:47] <FloodBot2> grullers: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:47] <aeiou> this allows me to get back into my system, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/516684/comments/3 how do i fix my problem fully?
[17:47] <shawnboy> coz_: I may try what has solved problems w/ATI in past... uninstall and reinstall. But it's annoying that an "update" would cause this. Thanks.
[17:47] <coz_> grullers,   ok try    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:48] <coz_> shawnboy,  i agree
[17:48] <grullers> coz_, then it says you first have to do a dpkg-reconfigure -a
[17:48] <grullers> and then the error comes again
[17:48] <greppy> shawnboy: if part of the install is a kernel module, and you updated kernels, then it is entirely possible.
[17:48] <[bean]> grullers do gconf-cleaner
[17:48] <Michal31337> hi
[17:49] <multiplatinum> how big is the chance i'll have issues after upgrading from one release to another?
[17:49] <Michal31337> im new with linux, i have it on my virtual box
[17:49] <Michal31337> do i need to install gfx drivers
[17:49] <Michal31337> ?
[17:49] <shawnboy> greppy: the latest kernel stops at black screen. Previous kernel boots but in low graphics with X error.
[17:49] <gharz> [bean]: still getting the same message
[17:49] <grullers> [bean], I'll try
[17:50] <maco> Michal31337: you need virtual box's addons installed inside guest OSes to get those
[17:50] <aeiou> this allows me to get back into my system, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mountall/+bug/516684/comments/3 how do i fix my problem fully?
[17:50] <JiMMaR> guys , I installed kubuntu-kde and that changed some of the appearances in my gnome desktop
[17:51] <JiMMaR> for example , firefox's menu bar (the one containing file,edit,view) got it's text changed to black
[17:51] <grullers> [bean], Is not installed and if i want to install it i have to do a dpkg-reconfigure-a
[17:53] <shawnboy> bye. going to tinker.
[17:53] <Michal31337> maco: thx man
[17:53] <chegg> hi
[17:54] <qos> hey guys, i accidently deleted /var/cache ... shame on me ;) ... but how can i fix it?
[17:54] <chegg> hello
[17:54] <multiplatinum> how big is the chance i'll have issues after upgrading from one release to another?
[17:54] <chegg> I am installing Ubuntu but it causes some problems
[17:55] <illusionz> Does anyone know of a good utility I could use to easily view windows registry hive files that aren't my own? I don't really want to import these files into my own registry.
[17:55] <grullers> http://www.google.de/#hl=de&source=hp&q=dpkg-reconfigure+cron&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&fp=4d9f1e7e21e257ea but i can't find a solution?
[17:55] <IdleOne> multiplatinum: 50/50 maybe 90/10 backup your important files
[17:55] <[bean]> gharz: try this sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys (((Put the hex from the gpg error here)))
[17:55] <multiplatinum> IdleOne,  how come there is 50%? or even more?
[17:56] <gharz> [bean]: ok i'll do that
[17:56] <maco> multiplatinum: depends on your hardware
[17:56] <qos> hey guys, i accidently deleted /var/cache ... shame on me ;) ... but how can i fix it?
[17:56] <multiplatinum> maco,  elaborate
[17:56] <brijithmac> hai all, is there any command to take screen shot from terminal
[17:57] <VCoolio> brijithmac: import screenshot.png or .jpg or whatever you like
[17:57] <wildc4rd> evening all
[17:58] <coz_> brijithmac,   maybe   gnome-screenshot -d 5      or look at   man gnome-screenshot
[17:59] <brijithmac> coz_: but i don't want a gui
[17:59] <aeon-ltd> brijithmac: scrot
[18:00] <maco> multiplatinum:  ati and nvidia drop support for older graphics cards every now and then. if yours was one of them, it may be a release or two before it gets full functionality back through a generic driver.  intel doesnt do this with their graphics, but there have been race conditions for them... whether your stuff will work with a new release kinda depends a lot on whether someone with the same hardware was active in testing and following up with developers
[18:00] <maco>  on issues during development time
[18:00] <ner0x> Most common java runtime used on ubuntu? Package name please.
[18:00] <maco> multiplatinum: the intel race condition im thinking of was in 10.04... sometimes you needed to reboot once or twice to get it to reach the login screen :-/
[18:00] <VCoolio> brijithmac: import will change cursor to grab area to screenshoot; import -window root file.png will create screenshot of complete screen
[18:00] <[bean]> grullers: seems the error you are getting is a known bug in debconf package
[18:01] <multiplatinum> maco,  ok, i'll do a clean install then, but then the option to upgrade to a newer release shouldn't be available if it's so risky
[18:01] <maco> multiplatinum: um...its not that upgrade is more risky than new install really
[18:01] <grullers> [bean], yes but is this bug fixed yet? and how do i fix my problem?
[18:01] <maco> multiplatinum: its that new releases *period* are only as good as the testing that was done
[18:01] <multiplatinum> maco,  oh, then i'll do an upgrade
[18:02] <maco> multiplatinum: play with a live cd first to check it out if you want to be safe
[18:02] <gsp2009> hello folks. I am running 10.10, and after a recent upgrade I can no longer browse my local network. Nautilus simply fails. Anyone else have this issue?
[18:02] <multiplatinum> ok maco
[18:02] <maco> multiplatinum: and you are very welcome to play with development live cds to help ensure your hardware will work right with 11.04!
[18:02] <multiplatinum> great idea maco
[18:02] <grullers> gsp2009, samba network?
[18:03] <gsp2009> grullers: yes.
[18:03] <grullers> gsp2009, did you try this: crtrl+L in nautilus, smb://ip.of.smb.server ?
[18:03] <[bean]> grullers: it doesnt seem to be fixed officially but there is a patch fix for it on launchpad
[18:03] <gsp2009> grullers: will try now
[18:04] <LtHummus> is there a way to use apt-get to list the changelogs of an updatable package?
[18:04] <grullers> [bean], how do i install this fix?
[18:04] <[bean]> grullers: maybe someone else can help you with that. all i know is that it is a bug and cant really be fixed without the fix thats on launchpad at the moment
[18:05] <gsp2009> grullers: nautilus crashes when I try a direct connection
[18:05] <[bean]> if you google your error you will find the thread talking about dpkg-reconfigure -a and debconf and cron and the patch
[18:05] <grullers> [bean], ok i'll try
[18:06] <Sirisian|Work> So NTP doesn't come with default servers? Did that change recently?
[18:06] <mobile> moin
[18:06] <qos> i accidently deleted /var/cache ... shame on me ;) ... how can i fix it?
[18:06] <grullers> gsp2009, I would mount the share
[18:06] <gsp2009> grullers will try.. thanks.

Unetbooting seems to go thruogh, but omplains boot error when trying to boot from usb. I have tried with 10,04 and 9,04 livecd's and two different usb stick, both 8g.
[18:09] <[bean]> guitar-maniac: isnt that an issue you should bring up in unetbootin channel?
[18:10] <unimaxlin> Pulseaudio & Xorg broken / high CPU load issue here please help me
[18:10] <guitar-maniac> Well since it happens with usb creator (which i picked from ubuntu wiki) too, i thuoght asking here.

[18:11] <Narcissus> Hey ubuntu people, can someone tell me a way or toss me a guide to a way to install Unity for Ubuntu, but not Ubuntu Netbook Remix please
[18:12] <[bean]> if its one of those usbs with that built in compression software it might pose a problem
[18:12] <gpled> Using 10.10.  Notice ssh connections are slow to connect.  Is their a way to quicken the connect time?
[18:12] <Narcissus> gpled: what's your ping time to the box you're trying to connect to?
[18:13] <undecim> Narcissus: Just add the unity PPA and install it with your favorite package management app
[18:14] <undecim> Narcissus: Actually, I don't think you need a PPA anymore...
[18:14] <gpled> Narcissus: it is on my LAN.  average .139
[18:14] <rumpe1> gpled, yes... stopping other downloads e.g.
[18:15] <undecim> Narcissus: Yeah... just "sudo apt-get install unity"
[18:15] <gpled> rumpe1: no other downloads
[18:15] <rumpe1> gpled, 0.139 secs?
[18:15] <undecim> gpled: Run ssh with -vv and see what part it's slow on
[18:15] <tabasko> undecim, no additional configuring needed?
[18:15] <undecim> tabasko: AFAIK
[18:15] <Narcissus> undecim: seriously? that's easier than I was expecting
[18:17] <rafael> ola
[18:17] <rafael> boa tarde a todos!
[18:17] <gpled> undecim: thanks.   looks like its trying different authentication mettods
[18:18] <rafael> estou com um problema em meu ubuntu, acho q é a questão de links
[18:18] <rafael> no menu locais quando clico em documentos por exemplo, aparece uma mensagem de arquivo não encontrado
[18:18] <gobbe> !en | rafael
[18:19] <rafael> hi
[18:19] <gobbe> hi
[18:19] <rigved> !br | rafael
[18:19] <rafael> I'm in trouble on the menu of my local ubuntu
[18:20] <rafael> #ubuntu-br
[18:20] <gpled> undecim: is their a way for the client to tell the server which method to start with?  notice putty is real quick when connecting from m$
[18:20] <rigved> rafael: ask away
[18:20] <grovitch> what s the prob rafael?
[18:20] <rafael> ola
[18:20] <undecim> gpled: Not sure...
[18:21] <undecim> gpled: What auth methods does it try, in which order?
[18:21] <rafael> when I click on documents for example, a message file not found
[18:21] <gpled> undecim: just about everything it can, before droping to password
[18:21] <Azendale> I'm trying to edit a post on ubuntuforums.org, but I can't get it to save, no matter what I do! Any suggestions?
[18:22] <rigved> rafael: are you able to open your Documents folder at all?
[18:22] <undecim> gpled: You can do like '-o "RSAAuthentication No"' to make it not use pubkey auth, etc.
[18:22] <grovitch> you mean you are trying to go to /home/someone/Documents ?
[18:22] <undecim> gpled: Put those in the config files to make them permanent
[18:22] <wolfpack> I am working under some HTTP proxy. When i try to branch through bazaar I get this error---"ssh: connect to host bazaar.launchpad.net port 22: Connection timed out bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message. Please check connectivity and permissions, and report a bug if problems persist. "..Is there any way around to solve this??
[18:22] <taos> I jjust installed ubuntu and every time I boot its a blank screen
[18:22] <undecim> gpled: ~/.ssh/config for user-wide settings
[18:22] <gpled> undecim: i think this is slowing it down more then the auth methods.   Cannot determine realm for numeric host address
[18:23] <taos> I think its something to do with nvidiea drivers
[18:23] <rafael> through the computer link can usually access the folders, only the local menu that I can not
[18:23] <taos> but how can I install these from the boot drivers
[18:23] <taos> boot disk
[18:23] <taos> *
[18:23] <gpled> undecim: k, thanks for the -vv tip.  does debug1 mean client and 2 server?
[18:23] <KM0201> taos: install what from the boot disk?
[18:24] <undecim> gpled: A quick google says that adding a line for the server to /etc/hosts will speed it up
[18:24] <taos> Latest 64bit 10.10 build
[18:24] <undecim> gpled: e.g. "<IP_ADDRESS> mysshserver", then you can connect with either the IP or "mysshserver" and it should be faster
[18:24] <rigved> wolfpack: ask in #launchpad
[18:24] <KM0201> taos: apt-get update && apt-get ugprade   ?
[18:25] <taos> KM0201:  Im on the bootdisk atm
[18:25] <taos> KM0201:  the actual os wont boot
[18:25] <gpled> undecim: smells like ssh is trying to resolve DNS names.   bet their is a way to turn that off
[18:25] <KM0201> taos: oh i see.. well what makes you think upgrading the installed OS is going to fix the problem?
[18:25] <grovitch> you mean in the file browser, you can access something like /home/rafael/Documents/foo but only from the computer link, not from the Documents link?
[18:25] <taos> KM0201:  I don't I just wanna know how to install nvidea drivers onto the os from my boot disk
[18:26] <rigved> taos: are you able to boot into recovery mode?
[18:26] <KM0201> taos: you can't
[18:26] <taos> ubuntu fails then
[18:26] <KM0201> taos: well, to my knowledge.. there's probably a way to do it
[18:26] <multiplatinum> i need help changing my computer's name, i entered this command: gksudo gedit /etc/hosts /etc/hostname, but idk what to do now, PM plz
[18:26] <KM0201> taos: if you say so... it does't sound like its ubuntu's problem though, all my nvidia stuff works fine
[18:26] <taos> multiplatinum:  reboot
[18:26] <KM0201> great actually
[18:26] <undecim> gpled: Not that I can find.
[18:26] <multiplatinum> taos i need to change things first...
[18:27] <gpled> undecim: found it on the sever side, but not client
[18:28] <gpled> undecim: UseDNS no
[18:28] <undecim> gpled: Have you tried adding the line to /etc/hosts?
[18:28] <mcb_1>  multiplatinum: Just edit the /etc/hostname, save it and restart.
[18:28] <[G]ohan> Can anyone tell me more about Ubuntu ?
[18:28] <rigved> taos: try to boot into recovery mode. press Shift just before the OS starts to load to get the grub menu
[18:28] <Michal31337> feels good..
[18:28] <undecim> [G]ohan: What would you like to know?
[18:28] <Michal31337> having gfx drivers installed
[18:28] <taos> I get grub anyway
[18:28] <gpled> undecim:  not yet. i connect by ip, and dont realy have dns on this lan yet
[18:28] <[G]ohan> Can we play Counter strike in Ubuntu ?
[18:28] <multiplatinum> mcb_1,  no i heard i need to change the other file too or else ill have issues with sudo commands
[18:28] <taos> [G]ohan:  try wine
[18:29] <[G]ohan> Sedega will work ?
[18:29] <r_a_f> [G]ohan: ubuntu is OS and play CS with Windows ;)
[18:29] <[G]ohan> Just asked
[18:29] <rigved> taos: so, then are you able to boot into recovery mode?
[18:29] <r_a_f> [G]ohan: yea its ok ;)
[18:29] <wang> go
[18:29] <taos> trying now
[18:29] <taos> brb
[18:29] <wang> lst
[18:29] <undecim> [G]ohan: Not sure. You'll have to ask them
[18:30] <Michal31337> so.... I have linux. now what?
[18:30] <Michal31337> learning python?
[18:30] <wang> kao
[18:30] <undecim> [G]ohan: Though a lot of people will install Ubuntu next to windows so that they choose Ubuntu or Windows when they turn the computer on, and use Windows for gaming, and Ubuntu for everything else
[18:31] <[G]ohan> My bootloader doesn't support any version of linux including Ubuntu...How do i install it ?
[18:32] <Guest93100> !ot
[18:33] <gpled> undecim:  ip hostname of server in /etc/hosts made it work
[18:33] <undecim> gpled: Nice.
[18:33] <rigved> [G]ohan: which computer do you have?
[18:33] <shcherbak> Michal31337: Python, that would be option.
[18:33] <[G]ohan> Toshiba laptop
[18:34] <Michal31337> yeah, im reading about it
[18:34] <undecim> [G]ohan: When you install Ubuntu, it installs the GrUB bootloader, which supports just about any OS you could want on your computer, including both Windows and Ubuntu
[18:34] <Michal31337> seems hard
[18:34] <takamarou> Hi all.  I've got a new ubuntu server 10.10 install going.  I'm adding users using 'groupadd -d <dir> -m <user>'.  For some reason, now when I log in as those users my bash .profile is not being loaded?  Anyone ever seen this before?
[18:34] <rigved> [G]ohan: did you try many linux OS's that you are saying that it doesn't support?
[18:34] <shcherbak> Michal31337: Why not bash, nice start, or perl?
[18:34] <[G]ohan> Yeah
[18:35] <[G]ohan> Open suse , mint , fedora
[18:35] <grovitch> hi there, anybody knowing how to scan with the Samsung CLX-3175 or CLX-3185 but not through usb?
[18:35] <[G]ohan> Most of them
[18:35] <rigved> [G]ohan: hmmm..so i am assuming you have windows pre-installed?
[18:35] <[G]ohan> Yes
[18:36] <Michal31337> shcherbak: i dont like bash but i think i'll get more info about perl
[18:36] <Michal31337> and see what happens
[18:36] <rigved> [G]ohan: there is a way to boot into ubuntu (or debian) in such cases...but the online guides are old and are meant for Grub...ubuntu now uses Grub2
[18:37] <stercor> When I log out the machine freezes and has to be powered down.  Fortunately sda1 is clean.
[18:37] <gordonjcp> rigved: just on that, there isn't likely to be a problem with blowing away grub2 and reinstalling grub is there?
[18:38] <gordonjcp> rigved: like, Ubuntu won't have a screaming fit if I switch back
[18:39] <rigved> gordonjcp: after making many changes, there will be no problem...it's easier to use grub2
[18:39] <gordonjcp> rigved: not really, grub2 doesn't really work on this machine
[18:39] <gordonjcp> grub works just great, grub2 not so much
[18:39] <eee1> can I upgrade 8.04LTS to 10.04 without impacting (loosing) data in user home directories?
[18:39] <WhitePelican> where do I go for questions about xfce?
[18:40] <gordonjcp> eee1: if you have set up a separate /home partition, yes
[18:40] <aeon-ltd> eee1: you shouldn't but config files may be deprecated
[18:40] <gordonjcp> WhitePelican: #xfce would be a good guess
[18:40] <greppy> eee1: I did it, there should be docs on the ubuntu website about what steps you need to take to do the upgrade.
[18:40] <gordonjcp> !root | Guest8565
[18:41] <gordonjcp> oops, wrong factoid, it's been a while...
[18:41] <undecim> screen ftw
[18:41] <undecim> wrong chat...
[18:42] <eee1> my install does not have /home on a separate partition. will continue looking on website.

[18:57] <greppy> honeypot: install the server edition
[18:57] <rubbs> honeypot: server edition or try the alternative edition
[18:57] <honeypot> greppy: I don't have the disc nor the time to download atm
[18:57] <rigved> Guest11774: System > Administration > System Testing
[18:57] <jPuff> well how about this
[18:57] <rubbs> honeypot: you can install a desktop version then use aptitude to remove gdm and the like.
[18:58] <jPuff> i have a process thats been running for 6 hours and is currently taking up 94% of some resource
[18:58] <jPuff> its called apt-get -qq -y update
[18:58] <sloopy> rtdos, hello!
[18:58] <honeypot> rubbs: I have a problem in spotting all "the like" :(
[18:58] <greppy> honeypot: I think there are boot options for the cd that will let you do it sans gui, but not sure what they are off the top of my head.
[18:58] <dtcrshr> i got the following error http://pastebin.com/LWt0s7R7 I think he tryes to select br. repos to update, but they seem to not be avaiable here. how do i force the updater to choose not br repos?
[18:59] <honeypot> greppy: I checked them one by one :( F1 F2...
[18:59] <rubbs> honeypot: you can also look at setting your runlevel so the gui never starts, but I'm not sure how that works with upstart
[18:59] <rubbs> !runlevel | honeypot
[18:59] <rigved> dtcrshr: easiest way is to backup your data and do a clean install
[19:00] <dtcrshr> rigved, disagree
[19:02] <ivan_> hi, is there something to do when installing ubuntu on a ssd? or are the default settings ok?
[19:02] <cellardoor> ivan_, using a notebook version?
[19:02] <gobbe> ivan_: just install, use ext4 if you want trim
[19:02] <vcdeveloper> has anyone here successfully setup a streaming server for live & on-demand service?
[19:02] <rigved> dtcrshr: my opinion...but your's may differ
[19:02] <qos> i accidently deleted /var/cache ... shame on me ;) ... how can i fix it?
[19:03] <rtdos> hey sloopy. :)
[19:03] <ivan_> cellardoor: yes, it will be on a notebook (the disk is a ocz vertex 2)
[19:04] <ivan_> gobbe: what about fstab? i read somewhere that it was suggested to change the options with something else (don't remember what)
[19:05] <gobbe> ivan_: yes, add discard-option
[19:06] <Encrypte1> Hi, what should i format my external USB HD to? Ext3 or 4? Or FAT32? It will be used only on Ubuntu, reason i say fat32, is most usb jump drives are fat32 and those work just fine on my Ubuntu
[19:06] <honeypot> rubbs: what is runlevel used for :(
[19:06] <ivan_> gobbe: what about noatime ?
[19:07] <gobbe> ivan_: it helps, but not necessary
[19:07] <dtcrshr> rigved, changed in my synaptic to use main servers, instead of my local ones and worked
[19:07] <dtcrshr> kinda harsh to "clean install"
[19:07] <rigved> dtcrshr: cool...local servers may be down
[19:08] <Wolfsherz> Encrypte1: if you are absolutely sure that you will only use it with Ubuntu, then go for ext4. if there is just a slim chance you will plug that drive to another os one day use fat32...
[19:08] <rubbs> honeypot: traditionally it does things like "single-user-mode" "non graphics mode" and "gui mode" lower run levels would not load certain sections of the system. Looks like upstart kills off the whole runlevel thing though, so I'm not sure what is possible.
[19:08] <ivan_> gobbe: ok... and should i keep the swap or remove it? (4gb of ram)
[19:09] <gobbe> ivan_: well, i have swap activated and been running ~2 years on ssd
[19:10] <Encr9> Hi, what should i format my external USB HD to? Ext3 or 4? Or FAT32? It will be used only on Ubuntu, reason i say fat32, is most usb jump drives are fat32 and those work just fine on my Ubuntu
[19:10] <Encr9> oh Wolfsherz just now seen your response, ok thanks :D
[19:11] <ivan_> gobbe: ok... i'll keep it :)
[19:12] <donvito> why oidentd on my ubuntu doesnt work
[19:13] <ivan_> gobbe: how's your hdparm? with my current hd it says ~80 mb but i saw that the ocz does like 200-250... i think the speed will change a lot :)
[19:13] <chaozuper> how do i know what to do about make errors?
[19:13] <amr> after an update my networking menu is being a bit funny: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52148/test.png
[19:13] <ProjektGhost> Hello, recently a friend told me that Ubuntu would be dropping xorg in future releases. I've been reading around, and I've come across Ubuntu Unity. Will this be a derivative of Ubuntu Desktop, or will it be the new, main version of Ubuntu?
[19:13] <gobbe> ivan_: ocz's are fast, but they can break easily
[19:13] <amr> the entire applet seems to be a bit broken
[19:13] <ivan_> gobbe: mm..nice :)
[19:14] <amr> is it possible to reinstall it perhaps?
[19:14] <gobbe> ivan_: how did you run it?
[19:14] <ivan_> gobbe: break because of what ?
[19:14] <gobbe> ivan_: build quality is not so good as in intels, they are faster and can break easier
[19:14] <Pokinawa> does anyone know the command to check cpu temperature?
[19:14] <gobbe> ivan_: so i would say do your backups
[19:15] <gobbe> ivan_: in our company we have had ~5 cases in past 2 years where ocz's has broke
[19:15] <ivan_> gobbe: hdparm? with other stuff open, but don't think that something was accessing a lot the disk
[19:15] <Mrokii> Hello. I have a problem with a generical 105-keys keyboard on Ubuntu 10.10. The character named "dead_tilde" ("~"; shown when the "win"-key is pressed) only shows up on the second keypress of the key. Does anybody know what the problem could be?
[19:15] <gobbe> ivan_: what parameters did you use?
[19:15] <chaozuper> i'm trying to get my belkin f5d8053 wireless adapter working and i keep getting a make error when compiling the driver. any ideas?
[19:16] <ivan_> gobbe: nice :( about backups sure... i'm putting everything on dropbox and github for the source.... i'd lose stuff like movies&audio, but it's not a big issue :)
[19:16] <alexbobP> If I use full disk encyption, is it safe to use automatic login?  I want to make sure there's no way for someone to get it to log back in as me after I log out but leave my computer running.
[19:16] <ivan_> gobbe: hdparm -tT /dev/sda
[19:16] <donvito> why oidentd on my ubuntu doesnt work
[19:16] <gobbe> ivan_: aah, ok, i can get something like 180
[19:16] <Mrokii> The strange thing is that the other 3rd levels of the keys are shown on the first key-press, just not the dead_tilde-character.
[19:17] <ivan_> gobbe: cool :)
[19:17] <gobbe> ivan_: actually 206 says now
[19:17] <gobbe> ivan_: and this is intel
[19:17] <donvito> why oidentd on my ubuntu doesnt work
[19:18] <mtt> i'm shrinking my 450gb ntfs drive and creating a new partition for ubuntu. how long should it take? it's going on for 8 hrs!
[19:18] <ivan_> gobbe: my big problem is when i have netbeans/kontact/nepomuk which index the whole world and the computer just start go so slow... :) hope to resolv in part with the ocz
[19:18] <Wolfsherz> Mrokii: you need to switch keyboard to deadgraveacute mode
[19:18] <gobbe> ivan_: are you running encryption or something?
[19:18] <ivan_> gobbe: yes, on home dir
[19:18] <Mrokii> Wolfsherz: How/Where do I do that?
[19:19] <amr> anyone know how i can fix my notifier?
[19:19] <gobbe> ivan_: ok, that can slow down ofcourse
[19:19] <sandking> hey
[19:19] <Wolfsherz> Mrokii: System -> Settings -> Keyboard
[19:19] <ivan_> gobbe: yeah, i know, but i prefer to have it, you never know :)
[19:19] <sandking> rhythmbox has sorting with BPM option but i don't see way to detect BPM?
[19:19] <gobbe> ivan_: i know, i run luks but it means that i cannot use trim
[19:20] <ivan_> gobbe: mm..i think that it's a bad thing... do you know what is used by default to encrypt the home dir?
[19:21] <gobbe> ivan_: what is bad thing? bot using trim?
[19:22] <ivan_> gobbe: not be able to use trim.. i mean, i'm actually new on ssd's but i've read that it's useful ;)
[19:22] <gobbe> ivan_: well...it can slow down the ssd in future, but i'v been running this for ~2 years now
[19:23] <Mrokii> Wolfsherz: I'm sorry, but I can't find that option anywhere in the keyboard-settings? And I don't think I've seen it before.
[19:23] <Oli``> How do I blacklist a hardware module from being loaded without -- and this is the important bit -- rebooting.
[19:23] <Wolfsherz> Mrokii: my system is german, i can not tell you exactly what the menu is called
[19:24] <Wolfsherz> its the tab where you can add other keyboard layouts
[19:24] <Guest79609> hola
[19:24] <Matt-_-> i'm shrinking my 450gb ntfs drive and creating a new partition for ubuntu. how long should it take? it's going on for 8 hrs!
[19:25] <endrien> Hello, I downloaded some GTK themes but ubuntu 10.10 says its not valid?
[19:25] <Wolfsherz> you add the keyboard-layout of your language with the option nograveacute
[19:25] <Mrokii> Wolfsherz: So, what is the menu called in German? I can change it to German, as I am German, it's just that I usually use Ubuntu in English).

[19:36] <sveinse> Hi. How can I start pulseaudio in my system? I'm using maverick and I don't have any X11, yet I need pulseaudio.
[19:36] <rigved> jesus_: http://superuser.com/questions/44827/java-support-for-linux-google-chrome
[19:37] <tsimpson> sveinse: why do you need pulseaudio?
[19:37] <VarcMB> So, if i wanna have a mentor i need register myself in Launchpad right?
[19:37] <sveinse> I need sound, and I need certain features of PA
[19:39] <tsimpson> sveinse: well pulse needs some X stuff to be installed
[19:39] <rhin0> not just ubuntu question -- why does it take half a day to copy 1.8 gigabyte using nautilus -- just drag n drop copying?
[19:39] <VarcMB> One ask, (and sorry for ask too many things) what mean "Wiki host:" In Launchpad
[19:39] <amr> after an update my networking menu is being a bit funny: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52148/test.png
[19:39] <sveinse> tsimpson: no it doesn't. You can disable the X11 specific libs in it's config.
[19:40] <amr> does anyone know how to fix it?
[19:40] <tsimpson> sveinse: it depends on libx11-6 for instance
[19:40] <VarcMB> Wiki host:? <-- What mean
[19:41] <tsimpson> VarcMB: did you create a wiki page about yourself yet?
[19:41] <VarcMB> No, i am just seeying LaunchPad site for request a mentor
[19:41] <rhin0> amr what is wrong with it
[19:41] <tsimpson> VarcMB: then just leave it blank for now
[19:42] <rhin0> cant see anything
[19:42] <normal> I have sound problems, googled HDA ATI SB, found a thread, stuck at "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec". It outputs "Codec: VIA ID 397". Using 8.04
[19:42] <VarcMB> Ok, thanks. What i need complet in LaunchPad?
[19:43] <tsimpson> VarcMB: at the minimum, an email address, user name and a password
[19:43] <sveinse> tsimpson: Yes. I'm trying to start pulseaudio in user mode according to PA docs, it insists on reading /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. So I'm wondering if Ubuntu has patched something here...
[19:44] <sveinse> I.e. pulseaudio cannot be used outside of X or something
[19:45] <rhin0> you may be connected to more than one network amr
[19:45] <VarcMB> I see, i wanna help Ubuntu :D But i first need complet it
[19:45] <sveinse> It seems to ignore my command line options
[19:45] <rigved> VarcMB: you also need to sign the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. so you need a key, like in public or private key
[19:45] <gufghur> Hi all, i'm extremely new on irc and just a little bit less new on ubuntu, am i in right place?

[19:46] <mellin> Hi everyone. I've been reading up on file permissions and haven't found information when using cifs and mounting dir_mode or file_mode. And that is each command I have seen are 0777. The 777 part is easy to understand. What is the significance of the "0"<zero> and is it specific only to using cifs?
[19:46] <VarcMB> Yes i have my personal key and i send the OpenPGP key
[19:46] <Mrokii> gufghur: But for asking questions about Ubuntu, this is a good start.
[19:46] <amr> rhin0: i am, how's that a problem?
[19:46] <gufghur> :) well, i've been trying to make my dvd player show the movies i want to see, but i can't get it work ...
[19:46] <rigved> VarcMB: then i guess you are good to go
[19:46] <thebloggu> i have an asus f3jc with a syntek webcam. it works perfectly aside from the fact it wont turn the led off after using it. not even a reboot will turn it off. i have to shut the computer off entirely. there have been several posts on the forums about this as well as bug reports but it has not been corrected for a lot of releases. can someone help me?
[19:47] <VarcMB> Cool, sorry for the questions
[19:47] <rigved> VarcMB: np
[19:47] <xangua> !medibuntu
[19:47] <xangua> gufghur: you need libdvdcs2, easily aviable via medibuntu repositories

[19:47] <rigved> xSodia: hi
[19:48] <tsimpson> VarcMB: if you have questions about launchpad, #launchpad is a better place to ask
[19:48] <xangua> !dvd | or if you want gufghur
[19:48] <gufghur> ok. i'll try it. thanks for helping out!!!!
[19:48] <VarcMB> Oh thanks for the room i go now

[19:52] <galagalagala> okay, I have a linux mint iso, and ubuntu installed on my laptop. How can I install mint?
[19:53] <Pici> !mintsupport | galagalagala
[19:53] <mellin> galagalagala: Depends if you want to run it while booted into Ubuntu then Virtualbox is a good option. If not perhaps dual boot is a good choice?
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> galagalagala:  burn it to cd. or put on usb.. boot it.
[19:54] <amr> half tempted to give up on gnome
[19:54] <amr> or remove it
[19:54] <duryodhan> hi .. I want to enable twofinger scrolling and twofinger middle click on my synaptics touchpad. Online, the recommended settings are to use xorg.conf file, but I can't find this file in my 10.10 install
[19:54] <edwardo> my computer even runs quieter when running linux instead of windows
[19:54] <KM0201> amr: and use what?
[19:54] <amr> xfce or something
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> Lubuntu is getting nice
[19:54] <amr> this panel is getting on my tits
[19:54] <galagalagala> Dr_willis, thanks I trying to do it with a usb, but nothing is happening when i boot, I have put the right settings under the bios :/
[19:55] <Dr_Willis> galagalagala:  i dont see much point in using 'mint'
[19:55] <botcity> amr: right click the panel select properties check the show hide buttons box and then un-check it  !
[19:55] <KM0201> amr: but what are you going to use in place of it?
[19:55] <mellin> KM0201: Greets
[19:55] <KM0201> mellin: :) greetings
[19:55] <amr> botcity: i've restarted gnome & the netbook repeatedly
[19:55] <amr> removed the panel
[19:56] <amr> there is no properties when you right click the indicator applet
[19:56] <amr> just about, move, remove, lock
[19:56] <galagalagala> Dr_Willis, ah okay, I was hoping it would have a shorter boot time.
[19:56] <KM0201> amr: well what are you trying to do to indicator applet?.. fwiw, the indicator applet, and the panel, are different
[19:56] <mellin> amr: Perhaps if you state what it is that you are trying to accomplish in the first place other than just ditching gnome?
[19:56] <Wolfsherz> wenn ich über die sitzungsanzeige meinen status einstellen kann, wieso kann ich dort nicht auch meine kontaktliste öffnen (ICQ)?
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> galagalagala:  given how fast ubuntu boots for me.. i would be suprised if mint could make it any faster
[19:56] <amr> KM0201: indeed
[19:56] <replicasex> anybody remember a quick and easy way to move the window title to the center?
[19:56] <Wolfsherz> sorry, wrong channel
[19:56] <amr> i've stated it above twice
[19:56] <amr> "after an update my networking menu is being a bit funny: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52148/test.png"

[19:57] <Programix> hi, i have this problem, i have dual boot with windows xp but i can't boot to it from grub for some reason, i get error 28. it worked fine a few days ago though. could someone help me please?
[19:57] <mellin> amr: Sorry missed it
[19:57] <amr> see how there's no formatting
[19:57] <amr> mellin: no worries
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> replicasex:  I was thinking the Ubuntu-tweak tool let you tweak the titlebar/button placements very easially
[19:57] <piyushmishra> I am having a strange issue with my ubuntu. when I lft click or rt click, it takes it like the alt key pressed and when I actually press the alt key and click, it behaves like normal clicks
[19:57] <mister> when I try to start timidity I get this: chown: changing ownership of `/var/run/timidity': Operation not permitted
[19:57] <KM0201> amr: it looks like it has combined the left click and right click menus... that is strange....
[19:57] <replicasex> Dr_Willis, that's what I thought but it seems to only let me place one spacer inbetween it o.O
[19:57] <xangua> Dr_Willis: maybe the emtacity theme aligns the tittle to the left or something
[19:57] <amr> KM0201: it is indeed!!
[19:58] <mister> can anybody explain this error? must be why not starting at bot...
[19:58] <amr> absolutely no clue how to fix it
[19:58] <guampa> anyone knows the reason why kernel.ubuntu.com doesn't upgrade its ppa? it only has a lucid backport, but over http it's full of kernels!
[19:58] <amr> adding/removing, killing, rebooting havent done anything
[19:58] <xangua> replicasex: you will manually need to edit the metacity theme you are using
[19:58] <KM0201> amr: but i fail to see how that would be a big deal.. you only see it when you left click the applet
[19:58] <amr> KM0201: a fault annoys me massively :p
[19:58] <amr> it shouldn't be like that in the first place so there's something wrong, which annoys me
[19:58] <piyushmishra> anyone else having an issue with mouse clicks? 10.04
[19:58] <KM0201> amr: i dunno... maybe is something that changed, who knows
[19:59] <amr> well, if i remove the indicator applet, the wireless icon goes into the notification applet (different widget maybe?) and that menu is fine
[19:59] <amr> well, it still has the right click in the left click menu
[19:59] <amr> but there's formatting
[20:00] <replicasex> xangua, uh how would I do that? O.o  I could swear I have seen the option for left/center/right before.
[20:00] <mellin> mister: Basically it is saying that something is trying to change the file ownership at the specified path, which of course it won't allow
[20:00] <pienkie> hi guys. I've set up a media center host, which was working fine up to a point, but then something broke. the system itself is still seemingly OK, but my auto-logon is a bit weird. I've made backups & modified the '/etc/init/tty5.conf' fine, adding a line to echo some status into to a log file, but theres noting in the log file, wich leads me to think that the file is not firing off correctly. is anyone able to help me with the auto-s
[20:00] <xangua> replicasex: you may have seen it in xfce or other window manager
[20:00] <milen8204> anyone who knows a program for audio edition ?
[20:01] <Mrokii> milen8204: Audacity?
[20:01] <piyushmishra> i upgraded sudo and installed sugar package that's the last thing I did before my clicks went auto alt

[20:01] <milen8204> Mrokii, pienkie it makes files in format which only it can read
[20:01] <steve590> wg
[20:01] <pienkie> milen8204: otherwise, if you have a particulat app in mind, check out alternativeto.net for alternatives
[20:02] <botcity> amr: is that screen shot of a netbook witch edition 9.10 ?
[20:02] <steve590> where do I find dban for ubuntu?
[20:02] <amr> it's 10.10, botcity
[20:02] <amr> now my muted volume icon has gone funny :/
[20:02] <gordonjcp> milen8204: what, audacity?
[20:02] <amr> it's ubuntu netbook edition, but with ubuntu-desktop installed instead
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> piyushmishra:  Upgraded sudo how exactly?   I dont see how that would affect X/mouse  tho.
[20:02] <milen8204> gordonjcp, yes
[20:02] <shadow98> i created a share and i had a user map it via windows using the username and passowrd i created for them....however i cannot edit file in that directory because
[20:03] <KM0201> amr: strange, i wodner if the netbook interface has something to do w/ it
[20:03] <Mrokii> milen8204: I think you can also export the files as mp3 (did that to turn songs into ringtones at one time).
[20:03] <gordonjcp> milen8204: it loads and saves pretty much any format you like
[20:03] <Programix> i have this problem, i have dual boot with windows xp but i can't boot to it from grub for some reason, i get error 28. it worked fine a few days ago though. could someone help me please?
[20:03] <shadow98> it says he is the owner...how do i make it so we can both work with the files
[20:03] <amr> it's only a recent develoment, in the last day or so?
[20:03] <milen8204> morhook, i will try to export :D
[20:03] <amr> so perhaps if there was a recent package update for the netbook version
[20:03] <gordonjcp> milen8204: if you do File->Save it saves the *project*, not the audio file - you want File->Export
[20:03] <botcity> amr: i know there is a command to reset the panel in gnome sorry i cant recall it ?
[20:03] <piyushmishra> Dr_Willis: it showed up in my upgrade center and I let it upgrade. then I installed sugar from sugarlabs to try. it wasn't broken till then suddenly now it behaves as if alt key is pressed
[20:04] <amr> botcity: heh that might be useful
[20:04] <amr> lemme know if you remember
[20:04] <mister> mellin: all I do is "/etc/init.d/timidity start" which I'm not supposed to sudo
[20:04] <wedwo-> milamber, it saves as .aup but has the option to "export" many other formats
[20:04] <amr> altho i'm not sure if that'd do it
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> piyushmishra:  Its possible sugar did somthing.. but i doubt if sudo did.
[20:04] <milen8204> gordonjcp, yes you are right Thanks alot
[20:04] <milen8204> Mrokii, thank you too
[20:04] <Mrokii> milen8204: you're welcome.
[20:04] <piyushmishra> Dr_Willis:  I already removed it to check. if it broke something, it hasn't undone it on uninstall :(
[20:04] <gordonjcp> milen8204: if you need something a bit more substantial you can use Ardour
[20:05] <piyushmishra> Dr_Willis: how do I fix it now?
[20:05] <brontoeee> milen8204, or commercial reaper
[20:05] <piyushmishra> I can't keep alt+clicking all the time lol
[20:05] <milen8204> Thanks guys
[20:05] <jesus_> i've a new problem with the chrome
[20:05] <philrene> Hey guys, I'm looking at a little info... when playing Ennemy Territory, How do I liberate my mouse from the game ( I'm playing in windows mode )
[20:05] <mellin> mister: Wait a sec
[20:06] <Dr_Willis> piyushmishra:  you may want to add a new user, and test to see if the issue also affects a newly made user

[20:08] <JZandi> i have laptop with 64bit os and cpu       for best performance i must install 32bit ubuntu or 64bit?
[20:08] <lieuwe> i just pluged in an usb-stick that i want to automount on boot, how do i do this? i need to do it from the commandline
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> piyushmishra: see if a new user works.. if so. then its the other users settings that are the issue.. if all users have issues.. then its some system config perhaps.
[20:08] <JZandi> plz answer me!
[20:08] <erUSUL> JZandi: 64
[20:08] <JZandi> ok
[20:08] <JZandi> what?
[20:08] <jesus_> java and chrome:
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> JZandi:  why would you think 32bit would offer better performance? :)
[20:08] <pienkie> JZandi: 64
[20:09] <johntramp> hi.  have any of you got eclipse 3.6 running in ubuntu?
[20:09] <xangua> depends JZandi, there are some apps that are not aviable for 64bits
[20:09] <pienkie> "Zandi

[20:09] <pienkie> i have laptop with 64bit os and cpu       for best performance i must install 32bit ubuntu or 64bit?"
[20:09] <JZandi> what?
[20:09] <mellin> mister: How did you install timidity?
[20:09] <pienkie> JZandi: answer is 64
[20:09] <jesus_> icedTeaNPRBrowser Plugin (using Iced Tea6 1.9.2 (6b20-1.9.2-0ubuntu2)
[20:09] <mister> mellin: synaptic
[20:10] <Dr_Willis> !info timidity
[20:10] <JZandi> is this os best select for me?
[20:10] <DexterF> hi
[20:10] <gufghur> hi guys, i'm drowning a bit. i've tried to open synaptic, but it says: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[20:10] <gufghur> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[20:10] <Dr_Willis> JZandi:  it totally depends on your needs.
[20:10] <pienkie> JZandi: …for performance. for stability & app/package availability…. wel, that's a different question
[20:10] <xangua> JZandi: if you want
[20:10] <mister> mellin: using lucid
[20:10] <JZandi> would you give me a link for download ubuntu64 os?
[20:10] <Mrokii> pienkie: I thought the answer is 42 :)
[20:10] <DexterF> fresh 10.10, just tinkering with the config, all of a sudden I crash to login. known issue?
[20:10] <xangua> gufghur: did you try what the message say¿
[20:10] <xangua> JZandi: ubuntu.com
[20:10] <pienkie> Mrokii: it is....
[20:11] <pienkie> JZandi: google: download ubuntu 64
[20:11] <Matt-_-> help! i have a serious issue
[20:11] <mellin> OK so it should already be started(I presume) try this....  timidity -iA -B2,8 -Os -EFreverb=0
[20:11] <JZandi> in this location exist 64bit os only for amd no intel
[20:11] <Matt-_-> i'm shrinking my c drive partition and creating my ubuntu one.
[20:11] <JZandi> my cou is Corei7!
[20:11] <tsimpson> JZandi: AMD64 works on all intel chips too, it's just the name for 64bit
[20:11] <gufghur> what iu figured out, was that i should put that into the command ...? but when i try that, command asks for my password and when i type the password, command does not register one character of it. the cursor just blinks.
[20:11] <Mrokii> gufghur: If you run that command in the terminal, it should solve the problem (hopefully...)
[20:12] <JZandi> why this named as amd?
[20:12] <tsimpson> JZandi: because AMD developed the standard for 64 bit chips this time round
[20:12] <Matt-_-> it's a long process so i closed my notebook (i selected the option to avoid freezing) and now when i open it, the screen stays black, although the hard drive is working
[20:12] <masai47> I am trying to install Edubuntu on a computer that will act as a small school server, Have 3x 500GB drives and wanted to install it as RAID5 but I dont seem to have the option when installing, any advice?
[20:12] <mellin> mister: Ok but do it from command line first to see what output you get
[20:12] <DarkSkyGhost> Isn't AMD64 for amd, IA64 for intel?
[20:13] <JZandi> what?
[20:13] <tsimpson> DarkSkyGhost: no

[20:15] <pickled> what is the command to check for recent errors in ubuntu?
[20:15] <gufghur> ok botcity, thanks, i'l try again.
[20:15] <Ascavasaion> I just connnected another monitor to my laptop, external via the VGA port.  I then went to System, Preferences, Monitors and got them both to work there as an expanded desktop.  Is it that simple with two different graphics cards and two monitors in a PC running Ubuntu?
[20:15] <pickled> like if you access a file and it's got a bad allocation

[20:15] <aims> hello all. i am having an issue whereby samba wont start at boot. i've already tried using update-rc.d and adding 'smbd restart' to /etc/rc.local to no avail
[20:16] <tsimpson> mister: prefix the command with "sudo ", it will prompt you for your password, but it won't show what you type (it's a security measure)
[20:16] <froschblob> xangua: yeah, but how do i export the addressbook in mavi?
[20:16] <aims> however, 'smbd restart' will start samba when in a console. the issue is that i would like it to be automatic
[20:16] <jim__> hi, newbie, here. Can someone tell me if ubuntu requires anti virus software?

[20:19] <botcity> gufghur: try again

[20:20] <pienkie> jim__: hi jim. it theory, no, but that does *not* mean that Linux will not be suceptible to virii in the future, i.e. it's not immune or impervious;  just that there' s not that much Linux out there compared to other OS's, & virus-writers, loke other coders, like to target as large a market or audience as possible. ClamAV is a free AV foe linux & a a good firewall helps too. also, you're more likely to pick up mal-code via your browse
[20:20] <erUSUL> lieuwe: pv can copy files with prograss bar
[20:20] <Ascavasaion> tsimpson: Could he not use wget using localhost IP?

[20:22] <pienkie> hi guys. I've set up a media center host, which was working fine up to a point, but then something broke. the system itself is still seemingly OK, but my auto-logon is a bit weird. I've made backups & modified the '/etc/init/tty5.conf' fine, adding a line to echo some status into to a log file, but theres noting in the log file, wich leads me to think that the file is not firing off correctly. is anyone able to help me with the auto-s
[20:22] <tsimpson> Ascavasaion: not unless he has a webserver installed, but possibly using file:// URIs
[20:22] <aims> erUSUL, then, no i did not modify that file
[20:22] <tsimpson> mister: are you following the instructions at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/SoftwareSynthesisHowTo#Installing%20TiMidity++
[20:22] <Ascavasaion> tsimpson: Exactly... wget file://<IP_ADDRESS>/  A very cumbersome way though.
[20:23] <cinmoon> greppy: i followed those instrutions, they simply caused my internet connection to quit working
[20:23] <pickled> anyone know the command to check for recent system errors that have occured in ubuntu?
[20:23] <erUSUL> pickled: dmesg ?
[20:23] <tsimpson> Ascavasaion: no, you don't use IPs with file://
[20:23] <mister> tsimpson: werd just found out timidity starts fine if I ~$ timidity -iA -Os
[20:24] <Ascavasaion> tsimpson: oh, okay.
[20:24] <pienkie> pickled: check out your /var/log/syslog & other log files
[20:24] <pienkie> (like messages)
[20:24] <erUSUL> aims: well then it is weird that it wont start ... it only depends on the filesystems being mounted ...
[20:24] <jfvineyardjr> if I go to applications>music, document, downloads, or any sub heading it takes me to appearence settings everytime
[20:24] <erUSUL> aims: maybe there is something in syslog or messages about it?
[20:25] <aims> the folder is in the user's home directory
[20:25] <xangua> jfvineyardjr: create a folder in home> right clic> open with other> open folder

[20:26] <monokrome> but Ubuntu keeps replacing it with stuff that I don't want
[20:27] <xangua> jk_: keep Shift key pressed during boot to show grub and use other kernel
[20:27] <pickled> what command can i use to check a fat12 floppy.img ?
[20:27] <monokrome> How can I change /etc/motd properly?
[20:27] <erUSUL> pickled: mount it in a loop device. use fsck.msdos ?
[20:27] <ugliefrog> how to i connect to a win 7 pc setup on my network....w7 pc sees me and access my ubuntu sys no problem...however it keeps asking me for a password and everyone i type in nadda happens
[20:28] <jk_> xangua, that's what I'm doing (except that I get the grub menu automatically) but I'd like to be able to use the newer one since it has security fixes.
[20:28] <erUSUL> pickled: mount is not the correct term you have to use losetup

[20:29] <jk_> erUSUL, from the Hardware Drivers on the System menu; I'm using Xubuntu, not Ubuntu with full Gnome.
[20:31] <erUSUL> jk_: an update shouldn't have messed up the driver install then. report the bug.

[20:31] <erUSUL> jk_: the log /var/log/Xorg.0.log may have info on why the driver is broken
[20:31] <pienkie> is anyone able to help me……….PLEASE? (I've asked the same pretty basic question 3 times already, with no response) if not, then *please* just let me know.
[20:32] <pienkie> need some gelp with init config scripts...
[20:32] <pienkie> *help*

[20:32] <jk_> erUSUL, Thanks, I'll check the logs and possibly file a bug on launchpad.
[20:33] <jimcooncat> ugliefrog: you're not giving anywhere near enough info for anyone to help you, but then again this might be a questions for ##windows. When I set up some win7 recently here I had to enable some TCP/IP stuff in it to work properly with the Ubuntu servers -- and even an Win2000 box.

[20:35] <Cpt_Zyph> hey guys when i try to do updates im getting a driver error or something in regards to the b43 driver having errors... but I have not activated that driver at all.. i was told on my last install that using the wl driver could cause my lock up problems
[20:35] <erUSUL> pienkie: well; tty5.conf is not a shell script so just adding a line with « echo something > logfile » wont have any effect ( well it probably make the init file invalid or something )
[20:35] <Cpt_Zyph> i have not used the orginal b43 driver still get lock ups not as often.. but can someone look at this and tell me what is giong on with the update errors

[20:40] <StSapphire> jesus_: Have you tried uninstalling that plugin from Chrome?
[20:40] <xangua> jesus_: use sun java instead of openjdk
[20:40] <jesus_> ok
[20:40] <jesus_> i'll try now
[20:40] <jesus_> i unistall only openjdk

[20:42] <electron80001> i fixed the problem with the wrong libraries that didnt work by simply deleting them from the folders (i had the old ones in usr/lib, the new ones were installed into usr/local/lib) - is this the usual way to do uninstall?
[20:42] <pienkie> erUSUL: does that make sense?
[20:42] <electron80001> or is ubuntu setting something anywhere else during make install?
[20:43] <aioobe_> what is the propert way to disable gnome-panels (I may want them back some day so I prefer not to "delete" the panels....)
[20:43] <erUSUL> pienkie: well never done this; dunno if you can do shell style redirection in a upstart exec call for instance
[20:44] <masai47> I am wanting to install Edubuntu with RAID but setting up partitions as RAID does not seem to be an option during the installation process, advice?
[20:44] <aioobe_> (gnome-panels are not present in System->Preferences->Startup applications)
[20:44] <erUSUL> pienkie: maybe you should do all that between « script » and « end script » clauses and it will work
[20:44] <infectedbrain> Hey how can i get execuatble files enables on my windows partition that way i can just stay in linux and use wine
[20:44] <erUSUL> pienkie: anyway ask in #upstart ;
[20:45] <pienkie> erUSUL: thanks for the tip; I'm trying the `exec` directives & commmenting my other additions.
[20:45] <VCoolio> electron80001: no, now you have installed packages that have missing files and will throw errors once you remove them; you uninstall the way you install, with synaptic or apt-get or whatever
[20:45] <pienkie> erUSUL: looking good; thanks

[20:45] <infectedbrain> anyone?
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: most of those apps won't run unless they are portable
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: you can run a true install of windows in virtualbox but 3D will perform poorly, if at all
[20:46] <erUSUL> aioobe_: you have to use gconf-editor and edit the gnome session to not include panels iirc
[20:47] <Cpt_Zyph> so anyone making sense of this error..
[20:47] <infectedbrain> can you just help me out with it anyway when i check the allow as execuatable it just flashes that check then stays off
[20:47] <Cpt_Zyph> http://pastebin.com/0JWNHVtK
[20:47] <aioobe_> erUSUL: Ah, that seems to be a desent way of doing it... any idea why they have removed it from the "Session" settings?
[20:47] <pienkie> erUSUL: I learn something new every day. this new(sh) way of doing things will take some getting used to
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: try:  wine /path/to/filename.exe
[20:47] <erUSUL> pienkie: yep
[20:48] <infectedbrain> okay but what do i use instead of the '/' i dont know the path into other drives
[20:48] <erUSUL> aioobe_: is apps>gnome>session>required_components
[20:48] <przemek_> does anybody use ubuntu 10.10 with broadcom 4312?
[20:48] <cellardoor> When I try to play a DVD... I get 'Error: Could not read from resource'. I get this despite it having the Title of the DVD as the window title...
[20:48] <cellardoor> any ideas?
[20:49] <infectedbrain> anyone?

[20:49] <infectedbrain> what do i need to edit in the fstab file to enable exec
[20:49] <dreamon> Hello. I have no audio. doing modprobe -r oss_hdaudio, modprobe -r snd-hda-intel, modprobe snd-hda-intel -> brings sound back again. blacklisting oss_hdaudio could not solve it. What can I do ?
[20:50] <erUSUL> !dvd | cellardoor
[20:50] <madjoe> What's the best media player for Ubuntu?
[20:50] <infectedbrain> madjoe: VLC ALL THE WAY
[20:50] <stuart__> VLC is pretty good
[20:50] <cellardoor> erUSUL, ty
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> dreamon: could add the commands in /etc/rc.local   above the exit 0 line
[20:50] <Jemt> madjoe: I use audacity for music, mplayer for movies
[20:50] <infectedbrain> what do i need to edit in the fstab file to enable exec
[20:50] <aioobe_> erUSUL: I don't have those :-(  Under apps/gnome-session I only have "options" and under options, I have "auto_save_session", "logout_prompt" and "splash_image" :-(  (using maverick)  any other suggestions?
[20:50] <lwizardl> Hello
[20:50] <madjoe> infectedbrain: VLC FTW :-)
[20:51] <erUSUL> aioobe_: still in lucid
[20:51] <przemek_> madjoe: or if you want all in one try xbmc :-)
[20:51] <aioobe_> okay
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: there is no single best app for anything
[20:51] <infectedbrain> Madjoe: yeah all the way
[20:51] <dreamon> ActionParsnip, Will give it a try. Thx
[20:51] <infectedbrain> what do i need to edit in the fstab file to enable exec
[20:51] <infectedbrain> please someone answer
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: there are options available, try a few, see which you like
[20:51] <lwizardl> I was wondering if someone could point me to a proper guide on how to install a FTP server on Ubuntu 10.10 ? I want to transfer files off of some EXT3 and NTFS file system formated drives
[20:51] <przemek_> there are one. xbmc let you play music watch video and also photos
[20:52] <erUSUL> !ftpd | lwizardl
[20:52] <madjoe> ActionParsnip: I was thinking of video players, sorry.
[20:52] <aioobe_> erUSUL: FYI: in Maverick I found it at /desktop/gnome/session/required_components
[20:52] <infectedbrain> ya know what... irc is lile the cb radio of the net
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: personally I like gnome-mplayer as it is one of the oldest and most respected players but people coming over from windows still tout vlc. Its an opinion so is not concrete
[20:52] <infectedbrain> like*
[20:52] <erUSUL> aioobe_: ok
[20:52] <infectedbrain> what do i need to edit in the fstab file to enable exec
[20:52] <aioobe_> erUSUL: thanks for the hints!
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: it's like asking "what is the best drink?"
[20:52] <infectedbrain> PLEASE SOMEONE ANSWER or at least say ya dont knwo
[20:52] <infectedbrain> know*
[20:52] <madjoe> ActionParsnip: red wine ftw!
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> infectedbrain: there are more than 1000 users in here, for everybody to reply with no is ridiculous
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: I like Bourbon. Neither is "best" it's personal preference
[20:53] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: edit the options andd exec to them ( is the last filed before the last two number only ones )
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: same with media players
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: and anything you can name in life in general
[20:53] <lwizardl> erUSUL, Yeah I know what programs/applications there are out there, but I am looking for a proper way to setup and configure a server for internal usage only not just internet usage
[20:54] <infectedbrain> erUsul: where do i add exec?
[20:54] <erUSUL> lwizardl: i would just use ssh; easier to set up
[20:54] <gufghur> hi people. I'm trying to install flashplayer, but have to choose between several versions. which is the right one? yum, tar.gz, or rpm i'm using latest ubuntu.
[20:54] <DexterF> any easy way to de-crypt /home?
[20:54] <lwizardl> erUSUL, if you have a guide for it I am open to it
[20:54] <przemek_> are you using 10.10 with wifi from broadcom? 4312?
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: you are using an OS which trumpets freedom and choice, yet you wade into an IRC channel to ask strngers what to use... smacks of Microsoft's control don't you think?
[20:55] <lwizardl> I just want to tranfer off 160GB of contents from 6 drives so I can format the drives to be used in other systems
[20:55] <LordBert> join #zimbra
[20:55] <erUSUL> lwizardl: is the fourth field of the line; just add ,exec ( note the comma ) to the options that are already there
[20:55] <erUSUL> !sshd | lwizardl
[20:55] <piyushmishra> my mouse is acting weird. seems like alt is key is pressed by default. how do I reset it for my user?
[20:55] <nmvictor> seems like shuttleworth has a thing for KDE, first Unity replaces Gnome as the default shell, now Qt is will have some space in that CD? Well, why doesnt he just come out clean and admit that he loves KDE?
[20:55] <madjoe> ActionParsnip: I disagree on that one... apps are slightly different. There are speed performance, number of supported media types, available features, known issues... you can't compare those numbers with freaking tastes! This is something more comparable.
[20:56] <erUSUL> lwizardl: sorry the thing about fstab was not for you
[20:56] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: is the fourth field of the line; just add ,exec ( note the comma ) to the options that are already there
[20:56] <infectedbrain> esusul: do i need to relog or remount because thats not working
[20:56] <infectedbrain> erusul: do i need to relog or remount because thats not working
[20:56] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: yes you have to remount for that to take effect
[20:57] <infectedbrain> erusul: k
[20:57] <dreamon> ActionParsnip, Thanks..Worked Fine!
[20:57] <xangua> nmvictor: qt /= kde
[20:57] <Guest87095> hello guys can someone help me I got a amd64 machine and i need to install rtl1878 network driver I downloaded the .gz please help me out..
[20:57] <xangua> as gkt is not only for gnome
[20:57] <xangua> gtk*
[20:58] <piyushmishra> the mouse if driving me crazy!!!!
[20:58] <lwizardl> erUSUL, ok I'll look at these and see if I can find a way. It will just be temporary usage to transfer these files one time and the format the drives to be used inside of other computers or in a NAS
[20:58] <piyushmishra> is*
[20:58] <nmvictor> xangua, well i understand Qt is to KDE what GTK+ is to Gnome,
[20:58] <infectedbrain> erusul: doesn't work
[20:59] <erUSUL> lwizardl: if it is something to do once in while you can even use netcat
[20:59] <doodoo> I am trying to compile a application. But it is asking me to install -dev version pf a package. Are these package unstable?
[20:59] <erUSUL> lwizardl: http://www.screenage.de/blog/2007/12/30/using-netcat-and-tar-for-network-file-transfer/
[20:59] <madjoe> Let me rephrase this: I tried Google without too much luck, but does anyone know of a website with a comparison tests of the most recent video players for Ubuntu Maverick?
[21:00] <guntbert> !compile
[21:00] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: check « cat /proc/mounts » and see if the option is listed there
[21:00] <xangua> madjoe: comparison of what¿
[21:00] <koszerny> ahoj
[21:00] <Mehok> hey guys i am trying to update the bluetooth app on ubuntu 8.4 can anyone tell me how to do it
[21:01] <greppy> doodoo: -dev packages are the development libraries, sometimes needed for applications to run.
[21:01] <piyushmishra> help me with my mouse!!! I am gonna shoot myself lol
[21:01] <madjoe> Xangua: speed, supported video types, etc.
[21:01] <xangua> Mehok: upgrade to lucid ;)
[21:01] <BluesKaj> madjoe, you can't go wrong with vlc , it plays almost every kind of codec and even media that's wrapped in an iso
[21:01] <doodoo> greppy, they wont break my system right?
[21:01] <infectedbrain> erusul: i se noexec (i know thats the opposite of what i want) how do i change that
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> madjoe: just install a few and try them, see which you like. They all use a central source for codecs so all players can play everything once they have the codecs
[21:01] <greppy> doodoo: they shouldn't, no.
[21:01] <xangua> madjoe: well any player with the codecs supports all kind of files, VLC is supposed to support the most
[21:01] <greppy> doodoo: think of them more like the .dll's if you come from a windows background.
[21:02] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: can you show me the whole line? also post the relevant fstab line
[21:02] <normal> I have a sound problem. Googled HDA ATI SB, found a thread, stuck on "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec". It outputs: "Codec: VIA ID 397". Using 8.04; #5
[21:02] <Mehok> xangua i would but the the programme i am useing may have a compatibility issue twards the new version of ubuntu
[21:02] <doodoo> greppy, Ah Ok. thanks a lot.
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> xangua: the players use a central source for decoders, so they can all play as many as each other

[21:06] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: well then what entry in the fstab file you modified?
[21:06] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: i mean what is the filesystem you want to enable exec on
[21:07] <infectedbrain> erusul: proc            /proc           proc    nodev,exec,nosuid 0       0
[21:07] <cellardoor> lots of respect to ActionParsnip!! Thanks man I forgot about Medibuntu
[21:07] <alberto> Does anybody know why it takes sooooo long to switch dvb-t channels in Ubuntu? My TV card is Hauppauge HVR-1100
[21:07] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: o.0!! why would you want to enable exec in /proc ?
[21:07] <alberto> In Windows switches channels almost immediately.

[21:08] <xxiao> is Mark totaly losing his mind? i mean the Qt decision?

[21:08] <gordonjcp> so of course everything looks great apart from Firefox, which has smeary green text

[21:10] <infectedbrain> erusul: which*
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> gordonjcp: same in all browsers?
[21:10] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: i do not think that is possible. to run a game in wine you have to install the game under wine ( it will be stored in your home folder )
[21:11] <trism> gordonjcp: firefox seems to ignore the gnome font settings, you usually have to set what you want with ~/.fonts.conf, here is an example of mine that is similar to the gnome "best shapes" option: http://pastebin.com/wK47SH22

[21:15] <ActionParsnip> svm_invictvs: in terminal, you type it
[21:15] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: you have to undo the edit in the proc line. proc has nothing to do with your windows partition

[21:18] <ankur> what is the way to do that ?

[21:19] <ankur> my internet connection is very slow that is the reason that i want to do it using cd
[21:19] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: read that to add a proper line for your windows partition to fstab
[21:19] <svm_invictvs> Oh tehre is it.
[21:19] <svm_invictvs> *it is
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Michal31337: http://txt.binnyva.com/2007/03/download-entire-folder-using-wget-command-in-linux/
[21:19] <gordonjcp> ankur: is there a reason why you're not just doing a clean install?
[21:19] <ankur> because it takes too much time to download 800 something MB
[21:19] <ankur> yes
[21:19] <Michal31337> ActionParsnip thx
[21:19] <xangua> ankur: you will have to download 3 alternate cd, it's the same
[21:19] <xangua> since you don't want to do a fresh install
[21:19] <normal> BluesKaj: 2 channels, Master 81, PCM 100
[21:19] <ankur> i have installed many of applications in my 9.4 which are academically useful to me
[21:20] <oCean> odio: In that case, you have to mount that second disk. Say in the output your second disk is /dev/sdb, with a /dev/sdb1 partition on it. Then you have to mount /dev/sdb1 on a certain mountpoint.
[21:20] <erUSUL> !ntfs-3g
[21:20] <gordonjcp> ankur: so, reinstall them on a clean install
[21:20] <ankur> is there any links to that alternate cd ???? i downloaded however version 10.10 from website
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> a goo alternative to eye of gnome (imho) is gthumb
[21:20] <ankur> will it work?
[21:20] <xangua> ankur: no
[21:20] <piyushmishra> is there anyway to keep my user specific settings or restore them from an old time?
[21:20] <xangua> ankur: only if you want to do a fresh install
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> or for more image viewers: http://tuxarena.blogspot.com/2009/04/8-image-viewers-for-ubuntu.html
[21:21] <ankur> i am not getting
[21:21] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: sorry that wiki is too complex...
[21:21] <Jordan_U> ankur: Upgrading will take many times more downloading than a fresh install.
[21:21] <intrader> join #ubuntu-one
[21:21] <ankur> replacing kernel will work ?
[21:21] <ankur> :-/
[21:21] <odio> oCean: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /
[21:21] <odio> mount failed
[21:21] <ghostnik11> does anyone know how to enable a smcwusb-n2 wireless usb dongle as it works for like 5 secs then stops working, and checked smc website apparently they don't have driver support for linux 2.6, which i don't understand b/c it works by plugging it in, just stops working after couple of seconds
[21:22] <infectedbrain> erusul: its all about partitions though
[21:22] <ankur> i think it is a bad option to remove entire os just because to upgrade there should be any alternative...
[21:22] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: the line would look like this « /dev/sdb2 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0000,exec,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 »
[21:22] <ankur> can you please tell me where can i get alternative cds ?
[21:22] <erUSUL> infectedbrain: you have to create the mountpoint « sudo mkdir /media/windows »
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: if you run:   sudo lshw -C network; lsusb     then the product line will identify the chip, failing that the lsusb line hex ID will identify it, you can use that to find guides
[21:23] <gordonjcp> ankur: from the Ubuntu website
[21:23] <Michal31337> ActionParsnip: i cant download 1 folder coz i dont have acess and i can't get list of files in this folder
[21:23] <ankur> ohkkk
[21:23] <oCean> odio: I was just guessing the device, since I don't know the output of your fdisk -l command. If you have 2 drives, you should have a /dev/sda and a /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. You can paste the output of sudo fdisk -l at pastebin.com if you want us to have a look at it
[21:23] <dostokhan> ankur, you want to upgrade the os without installing the installed applications again?
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> ankur: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/
[21:23] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: thanks
[21:23] <Jordan_U> ankur: There is an alternative, upgrading as explained @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades . It just requires more time and downloading.
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> Michal31337: then that's controlled on the server
[21:23] <ankur> yess
[21:23] <odio> oCean: that was the disk
[21:23] <odio> it matched the size
[21:24] <xangua> ankur: like i've told you you will need 9.10, 10.04 and 10.10 alternate, it's the same, Why don't you want to do a fresh install¿
[21:24] <dostokhan> ankur, is there any special reason for the upgrade or you just want to taste the new versions of ubuntu?
[21:24] <Jordan_U> ankur: Downloading the alternate CD will not save you any bandwidth over upgrading normally via the internet.
[21:24] <oCean> odio: if /dev/sdb1 is already mounted at /, then you are "on" that 2nd disk. Just type "mount" to see what partition is currently mounted
[21:24] <Michal31337> ActionParsnip: can i get that list by awk or something ?
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> Michal31337: not sure
[21:25] <infectedbrain> erusul: then add the /dev/sdb2 /media/windows ntfs-3g... to the fstab
[21:25] <ankur> just want to taste new version
[21:25] <ankur> no any special reason .... 9.4 is sufficient for my work
[21:26] <piyushmishra> my mouse works with alt key pressed by default. can anyone help me please. it works fine with another user
[21:26] <dostokhan> ankur,  then use virtualbox.
[21:26] <ankur> but i have made so much customization according to my need in it that's why i dont want to remove it
[21:26] <ankur> :(
[21:26] <piyushmishra> ankur, or make a fresh install and test on it
[21:27] <botcity> piyushmishra:  xinput
[21:27] <ankur> hmmm
[21:27] <ankur> ohkkk
[21:27] <piyushmishra> botcity: huh?
[21:27] <ankur> thank you all for you support
[21:27] <dostokhan> ankur,  virtualbox is an applications. it creates a virtual environment inside your current os.
[21:27] <ankur> :D
[21:27] <ankur> yeah i know that
[21:28] <dostokhan> ankur,  just google a little. you'll understand.
[21:28] <ankur> thanks
[21:28] <ankur> hmmm
[21:28] <cryptk> hey, I have a friend with an old Intrepid server... I would like to dist-upgrade it, but the repos for intrepid no longer exist... any ideas?
[21:28] <infectedbrain> erusul: sorry for being such a bother by the way
[21:28] <guntbert> !eol | cryptk
[21:29] <xangua> cryptk: fresh install a new version
[21:29] <cryptk> that is probably what we are going to have to do
[21:29] <oCean> cryptk: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades/Intrepid
[21:29] <cryptk> guntbert, I realize intrepid is EOL'd, hence wanting to upgrade it, lol
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> cryptk: I'd clean install you are 3 years behind, if you upgrade to Hardy you can jump straight to Lucid though but I recommend a clean install
[21:29] <yassi> just get all the packages listed at the end of life time
[21:29] <botcity> piyushmishra:  erm i think you may be able to remap buttons or trouble shoot wuth xinput  type xinput list
[21:29] <odio> oCean; thanks for your help, i've solved it
[21:29] <odio> :)
[21:30] <guntbert> cryptk: yes, that link does tell you how to do it, just read :-)
[21:30] <cryptk> yeah, we will just clean install
[21:30] <oCean> !yay | odio
[21:30] <olvap_> nickserv IDENTIFY olvap
[21:30] <rumpe1> olvap_, fail ^^
[21:30] <infectedbrain> erusul: so /dev/sb2 is the windows drive and /media/windows is where it will mount?
[21:31] <guntbert> olvap_: do that in a private window with nickserv :-)

[21:33] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/556325/
[21:33] <botcity> piyushmishra1:  im guessing the obvious but have you tried to unplug and re-pluging the device
[21:34] <infectedbrain> erusul: could this harm my windows hard drive
[21:34] <piyushmishra1> botcity: yes I have. I have also created a new user to check if I can use the mouse correctly there. It works fine there. it seems to have this alt+click problem on this account only
[21:35] <piyushmishra1> botcity: when I click anything it behaves as if alt were pressed by default. and when I actually press alt key, it works like being in normal state
[21:35] <Murchadh> Is it possible to disable window minimizing altogether for gnome?
[21:36] <piyushmishra1> botcity: I cannot make any sense out of the xinput guide you showed me
[21:36] <zetoh> does ubuntu 10.04 LTS benefits from future ubuntu releases? or it is stuck at 10.04 just providing updates?
[21:37] <botcity> piyushmishra1:  one min !

[21:39] <botcity> piyushmishra1:  what is the mouse Logitech or standard?
[21:40] <slgma> is there a fix for menus getting stuck on the screen?
[21:40] <slgma> does anyone else get that bug?
[21:40] <zetoh> jesus fucking christ, 1565 people and cant answer a simple question. glad i've moved to fedora and slackware

[21:41] <mongy> Im suddenly having problems with internet access on this netbook.  Ive had it a couple of years, works fine, and I actually use an interfaces file for my wifi connection as its faster for connecting.   I just reinstalled fresh copy of maverick, updated it all and then inserted my interfaces config, which is the same as this pc except for the ip address of course, but I cannot do anything but ping ip addresses and names, I cannot apt-get, I cannot wge
[21:41] <mongy> t anything unless I use network mahager?
[21:41] <itaylor57> guntbert: as usual I am late
[21:41] <botcity> piyushmishra1:  what is the mouse Logitech or standard?
[21:41] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: it just suddenly stopped and cut out on me, now i am back on my laptop, but is there any other way i can fix this problem since i don't have product id for it
[21:42] <piyushmishra1> botcity: microsoft basic optical mouse
[21:43] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: it's a pretty impressive problem
[21:43] <oCean> piyushmishra1: a new user does not have this issue right? Maybe compare files in homedir ~/.gconf/ like ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse ?
[21:43] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: I am a linux noob and this hurts oCean done that. they only have speed values different
[21:44] <snake__> I'm assuming it's impossible to change my partition from ext4 to ext3 without having to backup my files, or lose them. Am I correct?
[21:45] <oCean> piyushmishra1: ah, ok. Still, it must be an user-specific setting. Now figure out which :s
[21:45] <pienkie> I'm having some difficulty with a remote control (lirc: surprise-surprise!). does anyone have a good reference of how I can remove lirc, including all remnands of modules, so that I can do an install as if it was from scratch?
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: did the guides not show you how to set it up
[21:46] <piyushmishra1> oCean: its user specific for sure
[21:46] <pienkie> ...please?
[21:46] <snake__> pienkie, you mean completely remove the program and all files?
[21:46] <snake__> pienkie, all of the files it uses. (config files)
[21:46] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: well, create a completely clean new user
[21:47] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: *do not log in as this new user*
[21:47] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: ok
[21:47] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: go through each file in the new user's directory, and compare it with the one in your own directory
[21:47] <snake__> pienkie, am I correct?
[21:47] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: no guides right now i am reading a post in ubuntu france site forums using google translate and they said try different driver so i will try this carl9170  driver and see if it works
[21:48] <pienkie> hi snake__ : yes & no. I've done an `apt-get purge` of lirc & `dpkg —purge`of ay packacages related to lirc, but I also want to remove any & all kernel modules that may have been added along the way
[21:48] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: There are a lot of files extra on my user. its been here for some months now. and the other user I just created works fine so why do I need to create yet another user?
[21:48] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: if that doesn't do it, then log in as the new user, and try all the new files that have been created
[21:48] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: so you have a totally completely clean new user, without any of the files created when you first log in
[21:48] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: hmm
[21:49] <piyushmishra1> I already have a just loggen in user. lemme create a not logged in one
[21:49] <snake__> pienkie, not sure how to do that. Maybe I should considering I compiled my kernel custom :/
[21:50] <pienkie> snake__: thought abou thtat, but custom kernels are tricky to maintain across upgrades
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: could try ndisgtk + windows driver as well
[21:51] <snake__> I'm assuming it's impossible to change my partition from ext4 to ext3 without having to backup my files, or lose them. Am I correct?
[21:51] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: cool, will try right now
[21:51] <dostokhan> snake__,  yes. as far i know.
[21:52] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: oooh, just thought of another way
[21:52] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: create a new user as before
[21:52] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: yes and ?
[21:52] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: copy the config files across one at a time from your current user, until the same fault shows up
[21:53] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: gut feeling is that it's probably in one of the .gconf directories
[21:53] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: I would better make my settings again on the new user
[21:53] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: since i just downloaded through synaptic ndisgtk can i just put in the cd and try to get driver for windows off of there
[21:53] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: well, thats' the other way...
[21:53] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: will I have to re install all softwares I installed on this user ?
[21:54] <piyushmishra1> there's like a ton of things I'll need to configure
[21:54] <knight__> hi
[21:54] <gordonjcp> no, but you may need to tweak local configs
[21:54] <piyushmishra1> feeling like puking
[21:54] <tim167> hi, does anyone know a way to control a mac OSX computer remotely from ubuntu ?
[21:54] <tim167> like remote desktop where ubuntu is controller and OSX the slave ? :)
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: you need the .inf and the .sys from the driver
[21:54] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp:  btw does your xinput list show macintosh mouse button emulation?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> tim167: both OSes can use VNC, I'd try that
[21:55] <tim167> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> tim167: if you want control over WAN then use an SSH tunnel
[21:56] <tim167> ActionParsnip: it's a OSX computer in Berlin I have to control from ubuntu in Brussels
[21:56] <normal> Does the open-source ATI driver support ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5145? I cannot enable Extra visual effects, and my display did not adjust to 1600x900
[21:56] <keith4> anyone know of an ubuntu mirror on I2?
[21:57] <piyushmishra1> gordonjcp: I found something perhaps I have an extra folder called mouse under peripherals in my current user
[21:57] <cousin_mario> hello
[21:57] <cousin_mario> can I use debian-multimedia packages on ubuntu?
[21:58] <keith4> why would you want to do that?
[21:58] <ierty> hi there
[21:58] <gordonjcp> piyushmishra1: maybe
[21:58] <cousin_mario> keith4: need a more recent version of libx264-devel
[21:58] <ZykoticK9> cousin_mario, not required.  ubuntu-restricted-extras and/or Medibuntu
[21:58] <ierty> is that onyone here ?
[21:58] <cousin_mario> ZykoticK9: couldn't find what I need in there:/
[21:58] <ierty> well is it possible to buy an IP ?
[21:59] <cousin_mario> ZykoticK9: perhaps I should look for a ppa
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> tim167: what are you wanting to achieve on the remote side?
[21:59] <ZykoticK9> cousin_mario, ya sorry, you hadn't posted the specific package requirement libx264-devel when i answered
[21:59] <knight__> can any one tall me how to pot ubuntu back to default .this is my first time using ubuntu and I did no how to use it I'm learning . if some would help me .you can E-mail  me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or tall me now
[21:59] <cousin_mario> ierty: what IP?
[21:59] <tim167> ActionParsnip: i have to help somebody configure some software and get it runnign
[22:00] <ierty> public ip
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> tim167: vnc isn't secure and all keypresses etc are sent in cleartext
[22:00] <ZykoticK9> knight__, seeing as this channel is logged, your email will now be picked up by spam bots :(
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> tim167: if they use a router they will need to setup port forwarding
[22:00] <piyushmishra> gordonjcp: naah
[22:00] <tim167> ActionParsnip:
[22:01] <tim167> ActionParsnip: hmm,  any other way you know of
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> knight__: if you rename all the config folders in home your user will get default settings. If you are meaning more than just looks and settings and are having issues with the packages then it involves more than that
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> tim167: not really, anything you put in place will need port forwarding on the router
[22:01] <intrader> I am using `gpg --gen-key` and ran into a phrase that is confusing 'Make sure that the name on the key is not a pseudonym, and that it matches the name in your passport, or other government issued photo-identification! You can add extra e-mail addresses to the key later.' Does it mean I should NOT use by real name (that in the passport)?
[22:01] <Wiesshund> lol
[22:02] <botcity> piyushmishra: maybe...  ~/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/mouse/
[22:02] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: okay i got the .inf file but everything else is in .exe form and i don't see any .sys file
[22:02] <Wiesshund> lol 1 day 14 hours remaining on upgrade. puter went into standby
[22:02] <israfel_> Is there any part of a user's home folder that isn't encrypted when the encryption is enabled? Because SSH keys are located in ~/.ssh/ and is unreadable unless the user is already logged in on the remote server.
[22:02] <mellin> Ok so I installed the clipart for use in open office from the software center. Where did it unpack the archive to default?
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: do you mean autorun.inf ?
[22:03] <rubbs> israfel_: as far as I can tell if your home dir is encrypted, that user's home is encrypted.
[22:03] <mellin> BTW all the googled links I found had a database error so I couldn't find the information myself ;-)
[22:04] <mellin> ActionParsnip: How R ya?
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> mellin: i'll be better in 9 hours :)
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> mellin: you ok
[22:05] <mellin> ActionParsnip: Yep thanks for askin'
[22:05] <DrGrov> Good evening
[22:05]  * mellin percieves that ActionParsnip must be at work....bummer
[22:05] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: actually when i use the windows driver install feature and select autorun.inf to install driver as the location it tells me its already installed, but that makes no sense to me
[22:05] <DrGrov> Quick question about GNOME Art downloading. I am downloading some splash screens and login managers. Where on earth do I change them in GNOME on Ubuntu 10.04? Or how do I change them to be more precise
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: its not that file, that file ONLY makes the CD autorun
