[00:04] <ZykoticK9> Simon1245, in a terminal could you run "lspci | grep -i audio" and post back what it says?
[00:04] <meowbuntu> hey i cant add this ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa to software sorces. y is that
[00:04] <meowbuntu> its the right one for karmic
[00:05] <Simon1245> ZykoticK9, Ok
[00:05] <BHoward> FluxD, post the output of your iwconfig and lspci to the pastebin
[00:05] <ZykoticK9> meowbuntu, if you're using karmic just use "sudo add-apt-repository ubuntu-wine/ppa" and it will automatically look after adding it for you, with keys

[00:05] <piero> Is there a fix to the bug of a Network Manager Tray Icon that disapears or just "transforms" in a copy of volume control ?
[00:05] <frank007> how wld i do that?
[00:06] <BluesKaj> Simon1245, open a terminal and do , sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils
[00:06] <cant> Simon1245 alsa is a mixer that I installed and it worked with my hardware..  Its worth a shot... also you can search      ubuntu no sound in google. that was the first place I started.. go to the ubuntu help pages
[00:06] <Simon1245> cant,  Already tried alot
[00:06] <ZykoticK9> Simon1245, there is a Bug about your sound card at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/476890 suggests installing backports as far as i read (didn't read much)
[00:06] <Simon1245> BluesKaj, It says it's already installed
[00:06] <BluesKaj> frank007, ubuntu uses kernel source drivers that are supposed to work with your hardware
[00:07] <Simon1245> ZykoticK9, Is there any way to get it working?
[00:07] <cant> you need to know the hardware, then check the manufacturers website, sometime they have linux software suppoort.. Im also new so Im sorry I cant help you more.
[00:08] <ZykoticK9> Simon1245, not sure really - i don't have the same hardware, one guy suggests not selecting modem and that fixed it for him???
[00:08] <Simon1245> Yea, I readed that sentence aswell
[00:08] <Simon1245> I will try
[00:08] <frank007> ok - so how can i establish that my wireless net work card is working - it seems its not coz i cant connect wirelessly
[00:08] <Simon1245> Is he talking about software modem?
[00:08] <Simon1245> That's the only modem I see
[00:08] <frank007> i am connected thru a cable to the modem
[00:08] <abelardo> hi
[00:08] <Flannel> Lostinspace_46: I've never heard of apt-secure, nor do any packages contain a file named apt-secure (or apt_secure).  What is it you're missing and hoping to get?
[00:09] <BluesKaj> Simon1245, open the terminal and type alsamixer , use the M key to unmute any ctrls and arrow keys to navigate
[00:09] <Simon1245> BluesKaj, Ok
[00:09] <Lostinspace_46> frank007, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847 this should help

[00:09] <meowbuntu> hey how do i get the latest wine version on ubuntu 9.10  the repos are so put of date. the ubutu team should keep them up to date if they want to become a mainstreem os like windozzy and mac
[00:09] <meowbuntu> put = out
[00:10] <frank007> ok thanks - i'll try it
[00:10] <Simon1245> Lol it was muted :D
[00:10] <meowbuntu> !help | abelardo
[00:10] <Simon1245> From Alsamixer :D
[00:10] <ardchoille> meowbuntu: the repos don't usually get updates of apps, just security fixes and bug fixes
[00:10] <Simon1245> Thanks it works now
[00:10] <ssmy> meowbuntu: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb, google solves that pretty quick...
[00:10] <meowbuntu> ardchoille, how do i get latest
[00:10] <ZykoticK9> meowbuntu, there is a wine PPA with updated versions.  and "Ubuntu is a mainstream OS Better then windows or mac" ;)
[00:11] <FluxD> Hi, I just installed 9.10 on my laptop. I am unable to get internet working through ethernet and wireless. I have a realtek ethernet card and a broadcom wireless card. http://pastebin.ca/1795764 Pastebin of lspci
[00:11] <BHoward> FluxD, this should help http://dimitar.me/broadcom-wireless-chipset-bcm4311-bcm4312-bcm4321-and-bcm4322-on-ubuntu-karmic/
[00:11] <selig5> exit
[00:11] <meowbuntu> ZykoticK9, no not mainstreem or all software you can by games etc would be packeged with a ubuntu installer.
[00:11] <FluxD> ok thanks BHoward why did they remove it since I know 9.04 had it ?
[00:11] <ZykoticK9> meowbuntu, and just so you're not disappointed later with other software - Ubuntu does not typically update any software in a version unless there are security issues
[00:12] <ssmy> meowbuntu: this is a support channel. have your flamewar elsewhere.
[00:12] <BHoward> no idea, I just make sure I always stay away from broadcom cards.
[00:12] <Simon1245> I'm off bye and thanks for the help
[00:12] <meowbuntu> ZykoticK9, then thats y ubuntu is behind windozzy and mac
[00:12] <ardchoille> meowbuntu: That really needs to go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:12] <meowbuntu> ssmy, i know that thanks
[00:12] <ZykoticK9> meowbuntu, your comments are offtopic - ardchoille got it
[00:12] <FluxD> BHoward, any fix for realtek ethernet card?
[00:13] <BHoward> FluxD, let me check
[00:13] <hellz_bellz1> im looking for some help on something i dont wholly under stand
[00:13] <Flannel> meowbuntu: WineHQ keeps a PPA and/or Repository online with updated Wines (looks like that's already been mentioned)
[00:13] <hellz_bellz1> im trying to run a php terminal from my browser
[00:13] <meowbuntu> well all i want is how to get the latest wine in ubuntu 9.10
[00:13] <hellz_bellz1> but it gives me an error when i try to sudo
[00:13] <ssmy> hellz_bellz1: from my understanding, those are hilariously insecure...
[00:13] <B3rz3rk3-> how can i disable power management for wireless cards?
[00:14] <hellz_bellz1> meowbuntu download from wine hq
[00:14] <hellz_bellz1> well its not a factor here
[00:14] <hellz_bellz1> its only on the loopback interface
[00:14] <meowbuntu> hellz_bellz1, there is no download there only a ppa to add so i'm doing that ok
[00:14] <ssmy> hellz_bellz1: ah, ok. can't really help you with the prob though sorry.
[00:15] <Cody1> Could anyone help me with a HDD problem? I'm booting Xubuntu off a flash drive, and I can't find my main PC hdd anywhere. It shows up in GParted.
[00:15] <hellz_bellz1> can you referr me to a place that can help me?
[00:15] <meowbuntu> hellz_bellz1, if you have errors pastebin them ay be able to help
[00:15] <Cody1> I'm not sure where to look other than Places.
[00:15] <hellz_bellz1> Error: sudo: no tty present and no askpass program	specified
[00:15] <hellz_bellz1> is the only error
[00:16] <FluxD> BHoward, why doest ubuntu provide compiled versions of the sta driver?
[00:16] <Lostinspace_46> Flannel, I want to be able to get..oh, say, a debian repo that is not in the repos that come with ubuntu, as well as the signing key so I can add the repo and have it show up in the package manager. Then I can use apt_get on it and not have to fight dependencies.
[00:16] <meowbuntu> Cody1, join #xubuntu
[00:16] <Flannel> Lostinspace_46: that's just apt-key, and that's in the "apt" package
[00:17] <BHoward> FluxD, another one of those things I dont know about. I just try and workaround the things that the ubuntu people leave out
[00:17] <hellz_bellz1> what is the most usefull and most used linux forum?
[00:17] <FluxD> thanks anyway BHoward :)
[00:17] <AegNuddel> I am making more floater screensavers
[00:17] <B3rz3rk3-> how can i disable power management for wireless cards?
[00:17] <FluxD> BHoward, how do I get build-essential when I dont have internet to compile it :/
[00:18] <gjohn> Hi what does a package version mean like "2.22.3-0ubuntu2-ppa2~jaunty"
[00:18] <munk> Hi all. Theres something about linux that is driving me nutz and I cant figure out why it does this. When I go to install a library (x264 encoder) it puts it in /usr/local/lib and not /usr/lib. Whats the deal with this local directory and why doesnt it search it aswell?
[00:18] <hellz_bellz1> fluxd goto the library to use thier internet
[00:18] <Lostinspace_46> Flannel, Hmm, I am pretty sure I got an error saying I needed it.  Let me check..brb.
[00:18] <FluxD> hellz_bellz1, My wireless and ethernet is not recognized by ubuntu
[00:18] <ardchoille> gjohn: version 2.22.3 of that app is in a PPA for jaunty to use
[00:18] <hellz_bellz1> or use the internet you are on now
[00:19] <hellz_bellz1> oh
[00:19] <BHoward> FluxD, cant seem to find much on your card
[00:19] <gjohn> ardchoille: thanks, does this mean I have a ppa registered in my sources or could this be from an official repository?
[00:20] <ardchoille> gjohn: how did you get that package?
[00:20] <FluxD> BHoward, any ideas how I can get the packages to compile it ?
[00:20] <coppelman> does any 1 know how to put the home floder on your desktop
[00:20] <FluxD> coppelman, install ubuntu tweak
[00:20] <gjohn> ardchoille: I don't know, I thought I got the updates from jaunty-updates
[00:20] <coppelman> how
[00:20] <ardchoille> gjohn: It's from a PPA, not from the official ubuntu repos, that's why "ppa" is in the filename. you may have the ppa in your sources
[00:20] <Stoy^> coppelman: coppelman what do you want to do?
[00:20] <gjohn> ardchoille: but the "ppa" made me unsure
[00:21] <coppelman> put the home folder on desktop
[00:21] <gjohn> ardchoille: in that case, how can I replace it with the repo version?
[00:21] <BHoward> FluxD, im looking right now. I have seen something about installing packages without internet.
[00:21] <FluxD> coppelman, http://linux.about.com/od/ubuntu_doc/a/ubudg10t16.htm
[00:21] <coppelman> ubuntu 9.10
[00:21] <ardchoille> gjohn: you can check your sources: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list  <-- but you won't be able to edit it without using gksudo
[00:21] <Stoy^> coppelman:  do you want to see the contents of your home folder on your desktop
[00:21] <gjohn> ardchoille: ok, I'll look at that
[00:22] <BHoward> fluxD, http://www.planetoss.com/detail.php?id=13
[00:22] <Stoy^> coppelman: or just an icon to go to your homefolder?
[00:22] <coppelman> in a way yes
[00:22] <ardchoille> gjohn: Many ppa apps don't have the same, if any, version in the repos, this is why people use the ppa's. you can search your sources with: apt-cache search name_here
[00:22] <coppelman> i con will work
[00:22] <BHoward> FluxD, those are directions for installing without internet
[00:22] <FluxD> thank you BHoward
[00:22] <coppelman> i cant make a link or i would have tried that
[00:22] <Stoy^> coppelman: in a terminal type, ln -s ..
[00:23] <BHoward> no problem
[00:23] <ardchoille> gjohn: I strongly advise making a backup of your sources.list file before editing
[00:23] <FluxD> coppelman, read the link I pasted
[00:23] <coppelman> coppelman@ubuntu:~$ ln -s ..
[00:23] <coppelman> ln: creating symbolic link `./..': File exists
[00:23] <coppelman> coppelman@ubuntu:~$
[00:24] <coppelman> lol theres more right
[00:25] <Stoy^> coppelman: sry I got the syntax wrong
[00:25] <coppelman> lol right on
[00:25] <coppelman> do i reset ;'
[00:25] <gjohn> ardchoille: ok, I looked but I can't se any ppm, just main restricted universe multiverse and so on...
[00:25] <ardchoille> gjohn: ok, you might have downloaded a package manually then
[00:26] <coppelman> im useing ubuntu studio 9.10 if that helps any
[00:26] <Stoy^> coppelman: try ln -s /home/youusername
[00:26] <gjohn> ardchoille: ok could that have been part of some software application package like Firefox or something ...
[00:26] <ardchoille> gjohn: you can pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file and I can take a look if you want
[00:26] <ardchoille> !paste | gjohn
[00:27] <Stoy^> coppelman: replace "youusername" with you actual username
[00:27] <coppelman> l: command not found
[00:27] <coppelman> coppelman@ubuntu:~$ ln -s /home/coppelman
[00:27] <coppelman> coppelman@ubuntu:~$
[00:28] <coppelman> nothing thats all it did moved on to next line

[00:28] <Stoy^> ardchoille: not according to --help
[00:28] <coppelman> desktop
[00:28] <ardchoille> Stoy^: ln needs to know what to link and where to place the link
[00:28] <B3rz3rk3-> how can i disable power management for wireless cards?
[00:28] <ZykoticK9> coppelman, "cd Desktop && ln -s /home/coppelman"
[00:28] <Stoy^> coppelman: you need to cd in to you Desktop folder
[00:28] <sha0> ubottu: !vpn
[00:28] <sha0> ubottu: Thanks.
[00:29] <coppelman> lol what i dont get it im new
[00:29] <ardchoille> coppelman: what are you trying to do?
[00:29] <coppelman> i need a home folder on my desktop

[00:30] <gasull> Hi all.  Can anybody tell me how to install the Dell V505w printer?  I don't know where to start.  Thank you.

[00:31] <v8bull> case sensitive
[00:31] <ZykoticK9> coppelman, linux is cAsE senstive - but i'd follow the advice ardchoille is giving
[00:31] <jason12345> hmm i have a smiliar question osmosis
[00:31] <zcat[1]> coppelman:  Desktop with a capital D, but forget that do what ardchoille 's telling you instead
[00:31] <ardchoille> coppelman: trust me, been using Ubuntu since 2005
[00:32] <jason12345> has anyone done usb installations using ubuntu alternate 9.10 ?
[00:32] <BHoward> osmosis, put the script in your startup applications
[00:32] <BHoward> osmosis, just make sure the script is executable
[00:32] <jason12345> i'm trying to install ubuntu studio from a usb and its a nightmare
[00:32] <ardchoille> gjohn: your sources list looks good
[00:32] <ubuntudude> can i run magicjack under wine? if not is there a Linux alternative?
[00:32] <Stoy^> ardchoille: why use gconf-editor? is it not just a simple link he wants? I might have gotten it worng somewhere...
[00:33] <zcat[1]> Ubuntu needs a 'powertools' package to add back all the options the gnome developers keep removing!!
[00:33] <iflema> FluxD   do you have access to a wifi internet connection... or just wired? im aware you have no network? do you hav the install cd?
[00:33] <ardchoille> Stoy^: there is a proper way to do what he wants
[00:33] <ubuntudude> jason12345, why alternate? its so much slower than regular
[00:33] <coppelman> ok im in the
[00:33] <osmosis> BHoward, how about on a non-gui system?
[00:33] <coppelman> config editor thang
[00:33] <jason12345> ubuntudude what do you mean its slower ?
[00:33] <ubuntudude> jason12345, the installation
[00:33] <BHoward> osmosis, give me a sec and ill tell you
[00:33] <ardchoille> coppelman: go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in the gconf-editor and look at the right pane
[00:33] <FluxD> iflema, both my ethernet and wireless are not detected, I am using my other desktop to communicate now
[00:34] <cant> Does anyone know how to reset the terminal???   Mine is literally Blank minus the file menu taskbar on top
[00:34] <FluxD> iflema, I also have install cd
[00:34] <FluxD> cant, type in clear
[00:34] <Stoy^> ardchoille: a "proper" way humm, perhaps some ubuntu way? as long as he gets what he wants...
[00:34] <jason12345> ubuntudud cause the system does not have a dvd drive or a cdrom drive
[00:34] <coppelman> ok
[00:34] <BHoward> osmosis, you will need to have init execute it
[00:34] <autoclesis> gateway sx2840 good for ubuntu 9.10?
[00:34] <ardchoille> coppelman: now, tick the home_icon_visible checkbox
[00:34] <ubuntudude> can i run magicjack under wine? if not is there a Linux alternative?
[00:34] <iflema> FluxD  yeah a wired connection or wifi on the other machine..?
[00:34] <titan_ark> hey i just tried installing 10.04 on virtual box but when i try the updates i get an error saying a partial upgrade si available
[00:34] <zcat[1]> Stoy^:  making a simlink is a bit of a hack, gnome has a config option for showing home, etc on the desktop which should work better
[00:35] <cant> FluxD it is still blank with a white background and blinking cursur only???
[00:35] <ardchoille> Stoy^: this way is better than just a symlink
[00:35] <gjohn> ardchoille: Ok, thanks for looking at it.  I guess I'll use Synaptic to downgrade to a previous version, because this version of libglib seem to cause problems
[00:35] <greezmunkey> Stoy^, enjoy the lesson...
[00:35] <jason12345> ubuntudude the system has no dvd drive...
[00:35] <coppelman> that is so bad a$$
[00:35] <coppelman> thank you
[00:35] <ardchoille> gjohn: be careful with that, stay within the official repos for that package, several of your apps depend on it
[00:35] <Stoy^> ardchoille: zcat[1] greezmunkey, k I guess I just wanted thought my way was quicker and easier
[00:35] <BHoward> osmosis, check the second post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=208954
[00:35] <ubuntudude> jason do you have a usb flash drive?
[00:35] <Stoy^> but there you go
[00:35] <iflema> FluxD  whats the com your on now using wired or wifi? what version of ubuntu? 9.10?
[00:35] <ubuntudude> can i run magicjack under wine? if not is there a Linux alternative?
[00:35] <jason12345> the webpage https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USB%20Installation%20Media  outlines how to complete the installation but the instructions are too complicated on the bottom...
[00:36] <jason12345> ubuntudude yes I have a usb drive...
[00:36] <ardchoille> coppelman: while you're in there, you can tick the other boxes and change the names that appear on the desktop too if you want
[00:36] <FluxD> iflema, I have access to both wired and wifi, and I am on 9.10
[00:36] <greezmunkey> ardchoille, cool - didn't know that was possible! :) thanks

[00:38] <autoclesis> but 2.9 ghz and intel media accelerator is sufficient to get all the fancy out of  u 9.10 ?
[00:38] <Maximo> my system is all screwedup !!!
[00:39] <skavez> Hi -- wondering if anyone has experience fixing a broken WUBI install. When the GRUB menu is supposed to appear, I get the GRUB prompt (sh:grub). I've tried a few different tutorials, but I can't find /boot/vmlinuz* or root.disk. Is there another place these files are located?
[00:39] <autoclesis> i.e. gateway sx2840
[00:39] <skavez> I'm running Xubuntu btw
[00:39] <zcat[1]> lol at email yesterday, someone I set up ubuntu for a year ago had one of those 'online scan' things come up and tell her she has a bunch of viruses, she wants me to check that it really, really doesn't ...
[00:39] <gjohn> ardchoille: Seems like a regression in Ubuntu 29.04 repos
[00:39] <FluxD> cant, mind showing a screenshot ?
[00:39] <autoclesis> i want to buy the best pc for ubuntu
[00:39] <cant> its blank
[00:39] <zcat[1]> also when she tried to install the remover program it didn't work ;)
[00:39] <BHoward> autoclesis, my little acer aspire one 8.9' has enough power to get all the fancy, It dosent take much
[00:39] <ZykoticK9> cant, did you try the "echo $PS1" ?
[00:40] <ardchoille> gjohn: Ah, yeah, that looks good
[00:40] <autoclesis> thanks bhoward
[00:40] <autoclesis> i got lispire on a compaq right now
[00:40] <titan_ark> do i need to upgrade packages after installing the 10.04 iso?
[00:40] <ubuntudude> can i run magicjack under wine? if not is there a Linux alternative?
[00:40] <cant> ZykoticK9  i get echo $PS1 then enter  blinking cursur under it
[00:40] <FluxD> cant, there are other terminals out there too
[00:40] <autoclesis> but i read compaq preserio troubles with u
[00:40] <Guest53850> WHERES SERVER SETTINGS
[00:40] <ZykoticK9> cant, that's your problem FYI
[00:40] <wipxj3> #@X
[00:40] <cant> ????
[00:40] <ZykoticK9> titan_ark, ask in #ubuntu+1
[00:41] <ZykoticK9> cant, PS1 is used to customize what your prompt looks like
[00:41] <ardchoille> !lucid | titan_ark
[00:41] <titan_ark> ZykoticK9, okay thank you
[00:41] <autoclesis> the sx2840 might be overkill, then ?
[00:41] <zcat[1]> not released, not stable, but it boots hell-fast!!
[00:41] <BHoward> autoclesis, I just bought a acer 5740-5780 and its great. I had to start the live cd in safe graphics mode and update to a higher xorg and kernel to make the graphics work correctly
[00:41] <gjohn> ardchoille: Thanks for the help
[00:41] <ZykoticK9> cant, do you have a .bashrc file in you home dir?
[00:41] <ardchoille> zcat[1]: yeah, can't wait to try it :)
[00:41] <cant> ZykoticK9  yea but isnt the terminal suppose to show your location???
[00:41] <zcat[1]> <3 lucid.. will be real nice when it comes out I think
[00:41] <ardchoille> gjohn: you're welcome :)
[00:41] <cant> Yes I do
[00:41] <autoclesis> i'll look it up bhoward
[00:42] <ZykoticK9> cant, it's controlled by .bashrc
[00:42] <ZykoticK9> cant, look inside .bashrc (or better yet pastebin it) and see if there is a line PS1=blah
[00:42] <zcat[1]> just put it on my daughter's machine 'cos she kinda broke it trying to install firefox3.6 anyhow.
[00:42] <iflema> FluxD  explore the install disk, under pool/restricted/b install the deb....
[00:43] <autoclesis> can you boot win 7, ubuntu and kubuntu ?
[00:43] <David_> wheres the off topic channel again?
[00:43] <ardchoille> !ot
[00:43] <gjohn> I'm rather unused to IRC, are there shortcuts for addressing individual nicks in conversations and such?
[00:43] <David_> thats #ubuntu-ot?
[00:43] <ardchoille> !nick
[00:43] <ardchoille> wrong factoid, sorry
[00:43] <titan_ark> use the tab key
[00:43] <BHoward> autoclesis, it all works. at least i am assuming cause i never tried 7, just formated and went ubuntu
[00:43] <gjohn> heh
[00:43] <ardchoille> gjohn: type the first few letters of a ick and then press the tab key
[00:44] <titan_ark> gjohn, > !tab
[00:44] <gjohn> ardchoille: ok :-)
[00:44] <autoclesis> you weren't even curious to mess with win 7?
[00:44] <autoclesis> hehe
[00:44] <ardchoille> gjohn: you may have to press the key more than once tho
[00:44] <zcat[1]> 'ick' ;)
[00:44] <BHoward> autoclesis, pulled off the windows 7 sticker
[00:44] <zcat[1]> xchat has ick-completion
[00:44] <wipxj3> @Costea
[00:44] <autoclesis> :)
[00:44] <cant> ZykoticK9  please don't loose patients  but where is the .bashrc and what is pastebin
[00:44] <ardchoille> zcat[1]: :D
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> !paste > cant
[00:44] <ZykoticK9> cant, the .bashrc is in your home directory so ~/.bashrc
[00:45] <sysdoc> xorg.conf on a fresh Karmic install reflects that the driver is "nvidia" and not "nv" what driver is this exactly??
[00:45] <gjohn> titan_ark: thanks for the tab tip
[00:45] <ardchoille> sysdoc: how did you install the driveR?
[00:46] <sysdoc> ardchoille, I didn't, like I said it is fresh install
[00:46] <ZykoticK9> cant, perhaps this is easier - in a terminal "cd ~ && cp .bashrc .bashrc.backup" then get my bashrc from http://paste.ubuntu.com/375825/ and paste it into a file called, yup, .bashrc and put it into your home directory - then see if the prompt is fixed
[00:46] <jason12345> anyone ever install ubuntu studio from a USB ?
[00:46] <ardchoille> sysdoc: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers  may tell you which driver is activated
[00:46] <sysdoc> ardchoille, X does not load
[00:46] <gjohn> is there a way also to filter out replies to me?
[00:47] <ardchoille> jason12345: Ubuntu studio isn't supported here afaik
[00:47] <BHoward> jason12345, yes
[00:47] <cant> should I paste it here
[00:47] <ardchoille> sysdoc: ouch
[00:47] <ZykoticK9> cant, NO!
[00:47] <cant> ok
[00:47] <sysdoc> ardchoille, yea suckage
[00:47] <ardchoille> !paste | cant
[00:47] <ZykoticK9> cant, did you see my last (long) message?
[00:47] <autoclesis> are there wacom -sensitive apps for ubuntu
[00:47] <autoclesis> besides gimp
[00:48] <cant> No I didnt
[00:48] <Mad_Hacker> sysdoc: nv is the open source nvidia driver
[00:48] <jp--> hi guys. alsamixer only shows me hdmi audio controls not rca, how can I fix this? I'm only using audio on rca, so I need to increase the volume of these output but alsamixer only shows the hdmi audio controllers... any ideas?
[00:48] <ZykoticK9> cant, do you see it now?
[00:48] <Predaking> hello I have an acer revo 3601 with the latest version of ubuntu. It has an nVidia ION gpu. When I hook it up to my TV via HDMI I lose about 100 pixels on the top and bottom. I can't see the top and bottom bars. It's set to the proper resm 1920x1080 and none of the other resolutions fix this problem. The TV is 1080p. Could this be a known issue? If not what things can I do to troubleshoot it? It's really annoying
[00:48] <cant> aahhh  no
[00:49] <cant> where should I be looking
[00:49] <FluxD> thanks iflema
[00:49] <tron`> simple question, how do i find out what i called this machine (lol)
[00:49] <autoclesis> oh great i got to worry about the hdmi ? that's what i was happy about
[00:49] <ZykoticK9> cant, sorry for the PM but didn't want to flood the channel
[00:49] <sysdoc> Mad_Hacker, I know but the xorg reflects "nvidia" and not "nv" on a bone stock install...
[00:49] <iflema> FluxD wooo.... is it going? there may be futher action required
[00:49] <cant> ok,  I see the pm  Let me read it..
[00:49] <zcat[1]> Ohhh, another question; firefox keeps going frozen grey and dim for 30s at a time, every install, even doing it in lucid. any hints how to troubleshoot this?
[00:50] <nfrs> hi. I'm having trouble with installing grub on a working ubuntu system. it worked before I installed winxp, now I'm booting off the live cd and trying to configure dual-boot. no matter what I do, I see "error 22" on boot
[00:50] <nfrs> (#grub refuses to support grub1)
[00:50] <FluxD> iflema, yea wireless is online :)
[00:50] <ardchoille> zcat[1]: I would start by looking at which extensions and plugins are installed
[00:50] <iflema> FluxD goodone
[00:50] <zcat[1]> !info grub-legacy nfrs
[00:50] <zcat[1]> !info grub-legacy | nfrs
[00:50] <seanbrystone> what is a good RSS reader for Ubuntu that can play streams or mp3s from podcasts like Google Reader?
[00:50] <zcat[1]> hmm, wtf?
[00:51] <jason12345> no problems
[00:51] <jason12345> will try solving it myself in that case :D
[00:51] <iflema> jason12345 one can convert a regular ubuntu to studio...
[00:51] <ardchoille> seanbrystone: not sure about the streams and mp3's but you might try liferea, it's in the repos
[00:52] <seanbrystone> ardchoille, ok ty
[00:52] <nfrs> zcat[1], perhaps you should just say whatever you wanted to say?
[00:52] <tron`> would anyone be able to tell me how i find out what i called my machine? total fail on my part.... trying to set up sharing etc lol and cant remember my machine name to map a share from another machine
[00:52] <autoclesis> repos = repository?
[00:52] <ardchoille> yes
[00:52] <ardchoille> !repos
[00:52] <zcat[1]> nfrs:  yeah, I think I spent too much time in squeze already
[00:53] <autoclesis> ah, gracias ardchoille
[00:53] <cant> ZykoticK9   Totally cool pastebin stuff   here it is...  http://pastebin.com/d32f85281
[00:53] <zcat[1]> nfrs:  should just be a matter on installing the 'grub' package and running update-grub ?
[00:53] <autoclesis> !liferea
[00:53] <nfrs> zcat[1], I have the package, now the purpose of update-grub is unclear to me. I run grub-install, which seems to work fine
[00:53] <ardchoille> ~info liferea
[00:53] <Mad_Hacker> sysdoc: right, sorry, nvidia is the proprietary driver from nvidia(keep in mind i'm just getting this info from the gentoo xorg install instruction page)
[00:54] <ardchoille> !info liferea
[00:54] <zcat[1]> nfrs:  update-grub rebuilds the /boot/grum/benu.lst for you
[00:54] <zcat[1]> *menu.lst
[00:54] <nfrs> zcat[1], I don't need that, menu.lst is already correct
[00:54] <ardchoille> zcat[1]: grum?
[00:54] <nfrs> zcat[1], or should be
[00:54] <zcat[1]> lol, yeah
[00:54] <sysdoc> Mad_Hacker, That is weird cause no distro that I have ever heard of ever installs the proprietary driver..
[00:55] <zcat[1]> my typing sucks
[00:55] <ardchoille> sysdoc: I thought that a bit weird too
[00:55] <cant> ZykoticK9  can you see my file???\
[00:55] <ZykoticK9> cant, just try adding "source .bashrc or source .bash_profile" to the bottom of the file and restart your terminal to see if it makes any difference (i'm not sure it will)
[00:55] <ZykoticK9> cant, ya - i got your file thanks
[00:56] <cant> ok ill try it
[00:56] <behappy>  I have Iptables disable ftp connection how to empty iptables rules ?
[00:56] <pr0t0n> hey guys, I need some help with a fresh Ubuntu 9.10 install on my laptop
[00:56] <jen_> jen
[00:56] <zcat[1]> nfrs:  there's a way to install grub from the grub command line too, probably !grub links to it ;)
[00:56] <pr0t0n> the install went fine
[00:56] <jason12345> iflema how could i do that ?
[00:56] <GSF1200S> anyone in here using dual screens with seperate x servers?
[00:57] <zcat[1]> nfrs:  so what was the question anyway?
[00:57] <pr0t0n> however upon updating and rebooting I get
[00:57] <ardchoille> ZykoticK9: ~/.bash_profile sources ~/.bashrc itself
[00:57] <pr0t0n> nit: udevtrigger mainprocess (1283) terminated with status 1
[00:57] <pr0t0n> init: udevtrigger post-stop porcess (1283) terminated with status 1
[00:57] <ubuntudude> what good alternatives are there to magicjack for Linux?
[00:57] <sysdoc> ardchoille, Well I got a bone stock POS install of Karmic that will not boot into X. Weird thing is that I have 9.10 already installed on another drive that I upgraded to 9.10 that runs just fine
[00:57] <nfrs> zcat[1], the question is why does it produce "error 22" on boot...
[00:57] <ZykoticK9> GSF1200S, i have before, what's your question?
[00:57] <cant> ZykoticK9  it already is the last line of code in the file???
[00:57] <iflema> jason12345 there is a rather major kernel difference.... look into linux-rt and then in a terminal type sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntustudio-desktop ubuntustudio-audio ubuntustudio-audio-plugins ubuntustudio-graphics ubuntustudio-video linux-rt
[00:57] <ZykoticK9> ardchoille, i'm just taking it from my .bashrc file - doesn't make much sense i agree
[00:57] <pr0t0n> I tried using the workaround provided here
[00:57] <pr0t0n> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/433943
[00:58] <zcat[1]> nfrs:  probably confusion between where BIOS sees devices and where grub sees them
[00:58] <Mad_Hacker> sysdoc: apperantly nv doesn't have 3d acceleration support, so....
[00:58] <jason12345> thanks mate
[00:58] <ardchoille> sysdoc: if it were me, I'd just do a fresh install, seems something broke.. never heard of Ubuntu installing the nvidia driver during fresh install
[00:58] <GSF1200S> ZykoticK9: well, its a pretty small question. All im trying to do is get firefox on screen 1 to recognize thunderbird on screen 2, namely for the send link feature.
[00:58] <ardchoille> ZykoticK9: agreed
[00:58] <ZykoticK9> cant, i'd just try copying my .bashrc and replacing it with yours and see if it works
[00:58] <zcat[1]> nfrs:  check the boot order if you have more than one drive, you may be booting from an old broken mbr on the wrong drive?
[00:58] <sysdoc> ardchoille, Ummm this IS a fresh install...ACK!!
[00:59] <ardchoille> ZykoticK9: well .bash_profile is for login shells and .bashrc is for non-login shells, iirc
[00:59] <pr0t0n> however I get E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[00:59] <ZykoticK9> GSF1200S, don't think it's going to be possible - communication between screens if virtual nill - and you can't have 2 firefoxs running at the same time, as you have probably already found out
[00:59] <GSF1200S> ZykoticK9, I tried creating a script with display:0.1 thunderbird and pointing firefox to that..
[01:00] <ardchoille> sysdoc: I know, but I would do it over.. I just sense something went wrong somewhere and you never know what else may be borked once you get x working. But that's just me
[01:00] <nfrs> zcat[1], I've already looked at that... booting from /dev/sdc, root fs is /dev/sda2, /boot is /dev/sda1
[01:00] <neezer> can anyone tell me about a dns server?
[01:00] <nfrs> zcat[1], installing grub onto /dev/sdc
[01:00] <GSF1200S> ZykoticK9, yeah, however for some reason pidgin communicates with firefox, and they are on different screens. Otherwise, it is nearly impossible it seems
[01:00] <ZykoticK9> ardchoille, all we're trying to do is set $PS1 value - any suggestions?
[01:00] <ubuntudude> what good alternatives are there to magicjack for Linux?
[01:00] <sysdoc> ardchoille, I have installed from the LiveCD and Alt CD numerous times.... Reinstall will NOT help[ anything
[01:01] <zcat[1]> ubuntudude:  get a linksys ATA adapter and sign up with a SIP provider?
[01:01] <ardchoille> ZykoticK9: I do that on each install, here's mine:
[01:01] <ardchoille> PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}[\W @ \t]\$ '
[01:01] <Predaking> hello I have an acer revo 3601 with the latest version of ubuntu. It has an nVidia ION gpu. When I hook it up to my TV via HDMI I lose about 100 pixels on the top and bottom. I can't see the top and bottom bars. It's set to the proper resm 1920x1080 and none of the other resolutions fix this problem. The TV is 1080p. Could this be a known issue? If not what things can I do to troubleshoot it? It's really annoying
[01:01] <songer> any solition for 64 bits on firefox
[01:01] <Krux0> im looking for tool that performs backups of media files which are in a specific directory
[01:01] <ZykoticK9> GSF1200S, i'm sorry man, that one is a little beyond me.  best of luck.  FYI I quickly gave up on separate X sessions and returned to twinview.
[01:01] <songer> audio problems
[01:01] <ubuntudude> zcat[1], i don't know what you mean by that
[01:01] <ardchoille> sysdoc: Ah, ok I understand. Not sure how to help from here but you might try the ubuntu forums
[01:02] <zcat[1]> magickjack is an internet phone thing right?
[01:02] <v8bull> yep
[01:02] <GSF1200S> ZykoticK9, yeah, but twinview is a no go for me as im running two seperate vid cards. Yeah, its a nuisance at times
[01:02] <ardchoille> ZykoticK9: the part you need to change is between the brackets:  [\W @ \t]
[01:02] <ZykoticK9> ardchoille, ya it's for cant he doesn't have ANY prompt at all right now
[01:02] <Predaking> anyone ever heard of a problem like that?
[01:02] <nfrs> zcat[1], I'll try something else. bb
[01:02] <Predaking> display getting cut off at top and bottom on proper resolution?
[01:02] <ZykoticK9> GSF1200S, ahhh yes that would make twinview difficult ;)  good luck man
[01:02] <GSF1200S> thanks
[01:02] <Predaking> I'm not sure if that fact that it's HDMI has anything to do with it
[01:02] <cbelote> Is this the right channel to ask about a problem Im having with ubuntu/apache instalation issues? Cant access my website but everything seems to be setup ok.
[01:03] <sysdoc> ardchoille, I have been running the buntu for 5 years... Been there done ALL that you could suggest.... Something is jacked in Xorg
[01:03] <ubuntudude> zcat[1], yes
[01:03] <ardchoille> sysdoc: want to see my xorg.conf, it may help
[01:04] <ardchoille> sysdoc: for reference: http://ardchoille42.pastebin.com/m1dcb5dfd
[01:04] <sysdoc> ardchoille, I have one that works just great.... Like I said already...
[01:04] <chrisboom> hey
[01:04] <chrisboom> http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
[01:05] <zcat[1]> ubuntudude:  well it sucks because you have to have your computer on 24/7 to use it and it's OS dependent.. you can get an ATA adapter (A little box) that plugs into your broadband directly, and you plug a phone into it, and you can get phone service from any of hundreds of sip providers with a multitude of different calling plans and you do not need your computer to be on to use it.
[01:05] <chrisboom> got a motherboard
[01:05] <chrisboom> installed ebox 1.4 which is on top of ubuntu 8.4
[01:05] <ardchoille> sysdoc: how can it be "working great" and "jacked" at the same time?
[01:05] <chrisboom> can't see the ethernet ports
[01:05] <chrisboom> the driver is in that link
[01:05] <ardchoille> sysdoc: nvm, got it
[01:05] <chrisboom> how do i use it?
[01:05] <ubuntudude> zcat[1], whats wrong with the computer being on?
[01:06] <privateabstract> Waste of electricity?
[01:06] <sysdoc> ardchoille, I said once already the 9.10 is already installed on the machine runs great... Got to 9.10 through distro-upgrades
[01:06] <infid> where do system fonts get installed?
[01:06] <ubuntudude> i have a laptop, low power consumption
[01:06] <chrisboom> anyone?
[01:06] <privateabstract> still it's unecessarily wasted energy
[01:06] <zcat[1]> ubuntudude: it's inconvenient and also ties you to one particular OS, much better to have a device that works independently of it.
[01:07] <sysdoc> ardchoille, Which chipset and driver are you running? Juast for grins
[01:07] <sysdoc> just*
[01:07] <ubuntudude> zcat[1], is what you use expensive?
[01:07] <HammerHead66> ok I have flash player 10 64-bit installed and it works but I have no sound any ideas on what to do?
[01:07] <zcat[1]> If you really want you can get a sip adapter and just pretend you still have to have your computer on all the time...
[01:07] <cbelote> chrisboom: Im no expert but Ill try and help
[01:07] <chrisboom> cool thanks!
[01:07] <ubuntudude> HammerHead66, are your speakers on?
[01:07] <Devrethman> HammerHead66: Flash is pretty sensitive to other things locking the soundcard. Make sure no other apps are running that use sound.
[01:08] <zcat[1]> the one I use was free... but they're pretty cheap.
[01:08] <ubuntudude> zcat[1], what is it?
[01:08] <cbelote> chrisboom: If you run ifconfig do you see it there?
[01:08] <Devrethman> If you figure out how to make it not do so, let me know, cause getting flash and MPD to coexist is something I've been trying at forever.
[01:08] <HammerHead66> everything is turned off still no sound
[01:08] <ardchoille> !hcl | autoclesis
[01:08] <chrisboom> just trying to work out how to get from ebox to the terminal
[01:09] <HammerHead66> but I can play music box with sound no problem
[01:09] <autoclesis> excellent
[01:09] <DrZeus> i need help.  I'm trying to build a regular expression to take all the SQL queries in a group of PHP files.  I don't know how to write one.  Any recommendations?
[01:09] <zcat[1]> Linksys something.. SPA2100
[01:09] <v8bull> try the mysql channel?
[01:10] <DrZeus> but im using a shell script
[01:10] <DrZeus> to open each file, and run the reg ex to output them to a file
[01:10] <ZykoticK9> DrZeus, you might want to ask in #bash
[01:10] <chrisboom> hmm
[01:10] <chrisboom> still in it
[01:10] <DrZeus> oh, i see ZykoticK9
[01:10] <DrZeus> thanks;  /join #bash
[01:11] <cbelote> chrisboom: ctrl+f1 does the trick on plain ol ubuntu
[01:11] <chrisboom> taha!
[01:11] <skavez> does anyone know where WUBI would put "root.disk"? it's not in the C:\ubuntu\disks directory
[01:12] <infid> once i put a .ttf font in /usr/share/fonts/truetype do i have to re-login for xterm*font to recognize it?
[01:12] <agroker> what package is responcible for automatic mounting of flashdrives?
[01:12] <chrisboom> ok, im in
[01:12] <cbelote> sweet :)
[01:12] <gotsanity> does anyone know why banshee will continualy skip to the next song when i push my bluetooth headphone next button?
[01:12] <chrisboom> did ifconfig
[01:13] <chrisboom> told me Local loopback
[01:13] <chrisboom> inet addr <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:13] <chrisboom> mask <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:13] <chrisboom> these dont look like good numbers lol
[01:13] <cbelote> No eth1 or 0
[01:13] <cbelote> ?
[01:13] <chrisboom> lo
[01:13] <chrisboom> or 1o
[01:13] <chrisboom> no eth0 or eth1 tho
[01:14] <ZykoticK9> infid, verify the fonts you added are owned by root and then in /usr/local/share/fonts/tryptype (did you copy them here?) run "fc-cache" and see if that helps
[01:14] <chrisboom> its just totally not seeing the eth i think
[01:14] <BluesKaj> chrisboom, try sudo dhclient eth0
[01:14] <chrisboom> thats the downside of using a lts, motherboards that come out a year later not always helpful
[01:14] <chrisboom> will do BluesKaj:
[01:15] <ZykoticK9> infid, see you put the link in your post try fc-cache in /usr/share/fonts/truetype
[01:15] <cbelote> check compatibility here: http://www.linuxcompatible.org/compatibility.html
[01:15] <chrisboom> no such device
[01:16] <ZykoticK9> chrisboom, see if the kernel is seeing any network devices with "lspci | grep -i ethernet"
[01:16] <BluesKaj> ok chrisboom . eth0=dhcp
[01:17] <chrisboom> ok one sec
[01:17] <ZykoticK9> BluesKaj, i don't think if ifconfig doesn't have any adapters listed that dhcp is going to work
[01:17] <B3rz3rk3r> how can i disable power management for wireless cards?
[01:17] <chrisboom> so do the ethernet controller atheros communications ar5212/ar5213
[01:18] <chrisboom> ignore first bit of that
[01:18] <chrisboom> i did lspci thing
[01:18] <chrisboom> go that
[01:18] <chrisboom> that might be my wifi
[01:18] <BluesKaj> ZykoticK9, yeah I was afraid of that when he didn't show eth0 after doing ifconfig
[01:18] <ZykoticK9> chrisboom, is it only a wifi that you have?
[01:18] <chrisboom> not sure
[01:18] <chrisboom> no its both
[01:18] <chrisboom> i have wifi and ethernet
[01:18] <chrisboom> ethernet is plugged in
[01:19] <chrisboom> and then theres an engenius pci card
[01:19] <krysis> does anyone in here know how to get AGN 4965 wireless card to work??
[01:19] <ZykoticK9> chrisboom, the lspci is only showing your wireless.  are you sure it didn't show anything else?
[01:19] <Guest54047> hi all
[01:19] <chrisboom> what did eth0=dhcp mean
[01:19] <cbelote> Is this the right channel to ask about a problem Im having with ubuntu/apache instalation issues? Cant access my website but everything seems to be setup ok.
[01:19] <kavurt> what's "BackSpace compatible" screen saver?
[01:19] <chrisboom> should i try to change a setting
[01:19] <ZykoticK9> chrisboom, see if ""lspci | grep -i network" shows anything different
[01:19] <Guest54047> I need help with setting up ntp on client mythbuntu
[01:20] <krysis> anyone have trouble with the Intel 4965 AGN wireless card?
[01:20] <Guest54047> its installed but time is wrong
[01:20] <Guest54047> server time is correct
[01:20] <Guest54047> I have config ntp.conf
[01:20] <Guest54047> can anyone help
[01:20] <infid> ZykoticK9: hmm tried it but xterm still says it cant load the font
[01:21] <chrisboom> or since, it seems that my nothing happens
[01:21] <ZykoticK9> infid, does xterm actually use TTF fonts?
[01:21] <chrisboom> worst typing in the world there
[01:21] <chrisboom> nothing happened at all
[01:22] <chrisboom> that atheros sounds like my wifi card?
[01:22] <ZykoticK9> chrisboom, to the second lspci i gave?
[01:22] <chrisboom> might that be configurable
[01:22] <chrisboom> yeh
[01:22] <chrisboom> the network one
[01:22] <chrisboom> just nothing happened
[01:22] <ZykoticK9> chrisboom, in that case the linux kernel is NOT seeing your ethernet card, and only the wireless
[01:22] <chrisboom> pressed enter, then just showed me the command line again
[01:22] <chrisboom> cool
[01:22] <chrisboom> but that means we could connect the wifi?
[01:23] <ZykoticK9> chrisboom, i'm glad you think it's cool, lol
[01:23] <chrisboom> and i can worry about the ethernet another day
[01:23] <chrisboom> well its better than it seeing nothing
[01:23] <chrisboom> always look on the bright side and all that
[01:23] <gotsanity> does anyone know why banshee will continualy skip to the next song when i push my bluetooth headphone next button?
[01:24] <Devrethman> gotsanity: Is that not what it's supposed to do?
[01:24] <B3rz3rk3r> how can i disable power management for wireless cards?
[01:24] <BluesKaj> chrisboom, have you tried ifconfig again ? check to make sure eth0 is not listed
[01:24] <cbelote> Im having issues with my ubuntu/apache instalation. Cant access my website but everything seems to be setup ok.
[01:24] <ZykoticK9> chrisboom, do you see any drivers available in System / Admin / Hardware drivers ?
[01:24] <gotsanity> Devrethman, it repeatedly will skip to the next song instead of one press one song
[01:25] <chrisboom> i havent got a gui for that
[01:25] <chrisboom> ive got terminal and ebox web interface
[01:25] <gotsanity> Devrethman, i have to stop the skipping manually
[01:25] <Devrethman> gotsanity: Oh. Sorry, I've never seen that before...
[01:26] <ubuntudude> any alternatives to magicjack? great deal ones comparatively price wise, not per minute cost
[01:26] <ZykoticK9> chrisboom, ahhh, sorry man i got nothing more for you then.  Hopefully someone else knows how to install that wireless card without the GUI, as i certainly dont.  Good luck man.
[01:26] <cbelote> Can anyone help with my ubuntu/apache issue?
[01:26] <Dr_Willis> ubuntudude:  thers skype
[01:26] <ZykoticK9> !ask > cbelote
[01:26] <gotsanity> Devrethman, its wierd because it doesnt happen all the time. but i cant find a cause
[01:26] <ubuntudude> Dr_Willis, isn't that prepaid minutes?
[01:27] <Dr_Willis> ubuntudude:  it can be or yearly fee,
[01:27] <cbelote> Im having issues with my ubuntu/apache instalation. Cant access my website but everything seems to be setup ok.
[01:27] <chrisboom> ouch
[01:27] <chrisboom> not looking good
[01:27] <coppelman> any 1 know how to insatll the wized mouse plugin
[01:28] <ubuntudude> Dr_Willis, oh i see on the site now. thank. does it give me a phone number so i can have incoming calls?
[01:28] <coppelman> i cant find much on it
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> ubuntudude:  it can
[01:28] <Dr_Willis> ubuntudude:  skype to skype is free
[01:29] <autoclesis> i'm too ill-informed to phrase my question
[01:29] <autoclesis> it's a Catch 22
[01:29] <Ricoshady> is there a way to have the OS reconfigure the network and look for a new NIC?
[01:29] <LogicalDash> autoclesis, What did you try to do? What happened instead?
[01:29] <ubuntudude> Dr_Willis, its important to have a number i can be reached at also, i don't see anything about that on the site
[01:30] <chrisboom> ok, i think im gonna give ubuntu 9.10 another go
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> ubuntudude:  look closer - you can have a incoming # for so much $$ a year
[01:30] <LogicalDash> you can also do this with most SIP clients
[01:30] <Guest54047> can anyone help me with ntp
[01:30] <coppelman> has any 1 even heard of the wizerd mouse plug in
[01:31] <Dr_Willis> coppelman:  Nope
[01:31] <coppelman> lol dam
[01:31] <cbelote> My DNS is forwarding to my routers WAN IP with a valid A record for cpb3.com. My router is forwarding port 80 to my servers LAN IP. Localhostworks and apache is listening on port 80. Cant figure it out for the life of me
[01:31] <ubuntudude> Dr_Willis, still lookin
[01:31] <renamon> where could i find a codebreaker program?
[01:31] <Guest54047> thnaks for your honesty
[01:31] <coppelman> its the last plug in im missing
[01:32] <renamon> i need to hack my network cause i have a virus on my windows and i need to hack the virus.
[01:32] <coppelman> i with renamon with that 1 the 1 on softpidia is a little lame
[01:33] <danzig> hi
[01:33] <coppelman> cant you download to virescaner scan the windows disk and just delet it
[01:33] <renamon> coppelman: softpidia?
[01:34] <coppelman> softpidia.com
[01:34] <coppelman> its in the defalt bookmarks
[01:34] <renamon> its a bomb of sorts its lockd me out of everything
[01:34] <coppelman> its like download .com 4 linux
[01:34] <iflema> Ricoshady it'll most likely just run with it. have you added a new card allready?
[01:35] <coppelman> you can find just about any thang on softpida.com
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> coppelman:  most ubunbtu users use various repos/ppa' not that site
[01:36] <renamon> whats the program called?
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> it can be a little out of date at times
[01:36] <coppelman> tru
[01:37] <nfrs> I can't seem to reinstall grub. update-grub generates a fresh file, where everything is UUID-based. but upon reboot I get "error 17". any help would be appreciated
[01:37] <nfrs> s/file/menu.lst file/
[01:37] <rww> I have a CPU that can step down from 1.6Ghz to 800Ghz with the CPU Frequency Scaling applet. How do I tell it to automatically step down to 800Ghz at startup?
[01:39] <ZykoticK9> rww, i'm guessing if you have the CPU Frequency Monitor applet, you could set it to Conservative and it "might" accomplish what you want.  I'm just guessing here.
[01:40] <rww> ZykoticK9: When I change the speed or governor in that applet, it resets when I reboot. I'd like a way that's persistent.
[01:41] <nfrs> anyone? I tried everything I could think of. out of ideas now
[01:41] <ZykoticK9> rww, there is a cli method of setting it, i suppose you could find the settings and create a script for bootup?
[01:42] <rww> ZykoticK9: Yeah, I could throw it in /etc/rc.local if I knew what the CLI method were.
[01:43] <jp--> hi guys. I installed ubuntu but I got no sound. I made aplay -l and it shows this: device_list:217: no soundcards found...
[01:43] <jp--> any ideas?
[01:43] <jp--> it was working right out of the box on 8.04
[01:43] <robertpolson> I need to reinstall windows seven (it got corrupted) - my machine also has ubuntu installed on a separate partition w/ GRUB as bootloader... is it possible to reinstrall win7 without losing my other partitions?
[01:43] <jp--> this is on 9.04
[01:43] <jp--> :)
[01:43] <robertpolson> jp--, did you install all the updates?
[01:43] <corey> jp--, I also have 9.04 with broken sound =/
[01:44] <jp--> ouch :(
[01:44] <robertpolson> what might fix it...
[01:44] <bastid_raZor> cdfhgtlopoazs3hyrkjbhgfd
[01:44] <robertpolson> if you have another os like windows, install the drivers through there with the cd that your computer came with
[01:44] <jp--> robertpolson, yep, I installed all the updates
[01:44] <robertpolson> your comp should have come with a drivers disc
[01:44] <bastid_raZor> g?n/j;lgklqdghbikb97d'gbb/jmg,v ,vbn,[jfj'=c
[01:44] <jp--> it's an apple tv
[01:44] <bastid_raZor> nmv fg
[01:44]  * seanbrystone removes the cat on bastid_raZor's keyboard
[01:44] <ZykoticK9> rww, the command (you've probabaly already found it) is cpufreq-selector
[01:45] <corey> fight club freak, are you serious?
[01:45] <robertpolson> jp--, you might be screwed then
[01:45] <robertpolson> lol
[01:45] <bastid_raZor> setf
[01:45] <jp--> in 8.04 it only recognized rca audio output, but on 9.04 it recognizes hdmi and rca
[01:45] <bastid_raZor> fhehj
[01:45] <robertpolson> hm
[01:45] <jp--> and when i run alsamixer it only lets me modify hdmi controls
[01:45] <jp--> of audio
[01:45] <robertpolson> im not exactly an expert on this
[01:45] <robertpolson> but if you post on the ubuntu forum with your specs and stuff
[01:46] <robertpolson> you might get some ppl who had the same issues
[01:46] <robertpolson> but do a search first to see if you find anything
[01:46] <robertpolson> just on google or whatev
[01:46] <rww> ZykoticK9: Yeah, I'd prefer something that's not in a GNOME-dependent package, though. Modifying the contents of "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq" looks promising.
[01:47] <robertpolson>  I need to reinstall windows seven (it got corrupted) - my machine also has ubuntu installed on a separate partition w/ GRUB as bootloader... is it possible to reinstrall win7 without losing my other partitions?
[01:47] <robertpolson> gah
[01:47] <ZykoticK9> rww, cpufreq-selector a cli program requires gnome?
[01:47] <rww> ZykoticK9: cpufreq-selector is part of gnome-applets
[01:48] <robertpolson> Need to re-install win7 without formatting entire hdd... GRUB is my bootloader though. possible?
[01:48] <hejo> hello all i have a radeon hd 5770 and i installed the driver but in the bottom right corner of the screen it says "unsupported hardware" ??
[01:48] <Dr_Willis> robertpolson:  should be, Yu may need to reinstall grub.
[01:48] <ZykoticK9> rww, humm that is surprising -- well best of luck to you
[01:48] <robertpolson> Dr_Willis, how would i do this? i'm not very good with the technical stuff.
[01:48] <rww> hejo: Yes. The non-free fglrx driver does that on new graphics cards that it doesn't officially support.
[01:48] <robertpolson> just a tech enthusiast not an it guy
[01:49] <echosystm> whats the difference between ubuntu and ubuntu server?
[01:49] <bastid_raZor> seanbrystone: that was my 2 year old.. sorry room
[01:49] <echosystm> other than the fact that ubuntu server has no gui by default
[01:49] <robertpolson> echosystm, ubuntu server is for servers :p
[01:49] <robertpolson> ubuntu is for a home computer
[01:49] <hejo> rww, and i cant switch it off? or is an open source driver in development?
[01:49] <echosystm> that was so enlightening, thanks
[01:49] <robertpolson> if you don't know what the difference is chances are you won't need ubuntu server
[01:49] <echosystm> are the kernels the same?
[01:49] <ZykoticK9> hejo, that is one of the main reasons i will never use ATI (and am upset that AMD bought ATI) </ot_rant>
[01:49] <b0n1_> you know the indian kicking an unholy priest against the wall ?
[01:50] <b0n1_> i dont know the name of the video
[01:50] <seanbrystone> bastid_raZor, lol
[01:50] <rww> echosystm: I think Server uses the linux-image-server kernel
[01:50] <b0n1_> pls tell me the name
[01:50] <robertpolson> as far as i know, yeah
[01:50] <rww> !ot | boss_mc
[01:50] <robertpolson> but don't quote me on that
[01:50] <rww> !ot | b0n1_
[01:50] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub | robertpolson
[01:50] <rww> boss_mc: sorry, I fail at tabcomplete
[01:51] <rww> echosystm: apart from that and the lack of the ubuntu-desktop GUI, there's no difference. They both use ubuntu-standard and ubuntu-minimal, and have the same repositories.
[01:51] <echosystm> i know for a fact ubuntu server requires PAE
[01:51] <echosystm> so that must be some change to the kernel?
[01:51] <echosystm> im wondering what the other differences are
[01:52] <echosystm> otherwise ubuntu server is no different from alternate cli
[01:52] <b0n1_> fleischmann!!
[01:52] <sten2> !grub2
[01:52] <rww> echosystm: #ubuntu-server would probably know better. Like I said, to me knowledge, there's no difference apart from the lack of GUI and the different kernel.
[01:52] <rww> s/me/my/
[01:52] <echosystm> thanks
[01:52] <echosystm> didnt know about that chanel :)
[01:53] <robertpolson> Dr_Willis, thanks, but neither of those help me, do you have any other links?
[01:53] <robertpolson> you know what.. this is probably more of a windows issue anyways
[01:53] <Dr_Willis> robertpolson:  what do you mean neotehr help? You must be a speed reader to come to that conclusion so fast
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> robertpolson:  if you reinstall windows - it will overwrte the linux loader. you then need to reinstrall grub loader,
[01:54] <robertpolson> okay, but will that overwrite the rest of my hdd?
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> robertpolson:  the bootloader is not the 'rest of the hd'
[01:54] <Dr_Willis> its the bootloader
[01:55] <corey> windows only overwrites if you tell it to. select the right partition and everything will work as expected
[01:55] <robertpolson> hm
[01:55] <robertpolson> okay
[01:55] <corey> if you're too lazy to do that, then you deserve your linux to be wiped.
[01:55] <robertpolson> it's not that, it's that i have some oem windows disc which doesn't let me do any of that
[01:56] <corey> then use wubi
[01:56]  * iflema :)
[01:56] <corey> or do what any other geek would do and use VirtualBox
[01:56] <robertpolson> my windows 7 install doesn't boot
[01:56] <robertpolson> it's fudged
[01:56] <Dr_Willis> robertpolson:  trhe win7 cd is supposed to have repair features  - see #windows channel
[01:56] <blakkheim> robertpolson: this is normal for windows
[01:57] <robertpolson> lol. :D
[01:57] <robertpolson> Dr_Willis, will do. thanks for all the help!
[01:58] <j-3-r-g_> hey .....hey hey
[01:58] <j3rg> anyone familiar with Triple monitor in Ubuntu with nVidia video card
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> j3rg:  in theory if the card supports it - the nvidia settings tool should set it up with a few clicks
[02:00] <Out_Cold> so does encoding with ffmpeg, avi to mpeg4 take a considerable amount of time on a standard processor? It's been about 3 hours and I've only encoded 200mb
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> ive not seen a  'single' nvidia card with 3 Monitoir outs, Seen them with 4 Video outs,
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> Out_Cold:  depends on the  options you are using a great deal
[02:01] <Out_Cold> my nvidia supported 3 outs....
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> Out_Cold:  and other settings.
[02:01] <Out_Cold> but the overscan was cruddy
[02:01] <neezer> is there a networking channel?
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  perhaps #networking
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> but Networking is a BRoAD topic
[02:01] <Out_Cold> neezer, i'd start here and see where your question leads
[02:02] <j3rg> thanx Dr_Willis
[02:02] <krysis> does anyone know how to set up the intel AGN 4965 wireless card? it works for a few minutes then disconnects and doesn't connect anymore =(
[02:02] <Dr_Willis> My 8800gtsxxx has 3 outputs, 2 dvi and 1 tv out. but it can only do 2 out of the 3 at a time.
[02:02] <j3rg> i have to admit i didn't much research before coming to the IRC
[02:02] <j3rg> i'll google machine next time
[02:02] <j3rg> thanx tho mein
[02:03] <neezer> I'm looking to set up dns, but I can't seem to find answers online...I think it will allow me to just log into my server and download any files remotely that I have on it.
[02:03] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  dns is what looks up www.whatever.com to the ip it actually is
[02:03] <neezer> I also am wondering if it will allow me to upload files to my server. i think it just woks via a web browser.
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  not sure what you are trying to do exactly. but i bet its not got a lot to do with 'dns'
[02:04] <Out_Cold> Dr_Willis, so the more options, such as size reduction, cuts in on time? is there a fast efficient way to transform avi to mpeg4?
[02:04] <neezer> ok. thanks Dr_Willis
[02:04] <alex87> could somebody help me get an ident response? i'm running the oident daemon
[02:04] <nfrs> I can't seem to reinstall grub for a working karmic install when booting from livecd. tried everything I could think of. update-grub generates a fresh menu.lst file with everything UUID-based, so the partitions should be specified correctly. but upon reboot I get "error 17". any help would be appreciated
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  the 'dynamic dns' service - lets your clients update a web site with their current ip. so yo can always find them from the internet  - but thats a specific service/tool running
[02:05] <Dr_Willis> alex87:  why do you even need ident?  You may need to forward some ports on your router
[02:05] <Dracofodder> where can I find out exactly what has been modded in Firefox for the Ubuntu 9.10 release??  I am getting some odd behavior in FF 3.5.7, but doing the same thing in Seamonkey 2.0.2 and it works fine.  I've tried the FF troubleshooting of disabling plugins, safemode, resetting preferences and such.  No success.  Now I am thinking there has to be something else customized just for ubuntu that is breaking FF.  any ideas?
[02:05] <Out_Cold> neezer, yes it sounds like you want a free name such as www.somehost.dyndns.org instead of your IP
[02:05] <alex87> Dr_Willis, i'm having trouble with DCC, is that related to ident?
[02:05] <Dr_Willis> alex87:  I do not think ident is in any way related to DCC stuff
[02:06] <neezer> Dr_Willis, I guess I don't even know what that means....
[02:06] <Out_Cold> alex87, most likely related to firewall issues
[02:06] <alex87> Dr_Willis, ah ok, thanks
[02:06] <Dr_Willis> alex87:  ident is an OLD way to 'verify' people on various servers/clients - its not used much these days
[02:06] <Out_Cold> neezer, what is your ultimate goal?
[02:06] <neezer> Out_Cold: I would like to just do, www.neezer.com, or .org or something.
[02:06] <alex87> Out_Cold, does ubuntu run a firewall that would block dcc by default?
[02:06] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  check out 'dyndns' or other tools.
[02:06] <alex87> Dr_Willis, good, i don't like forwarding ports
[02:06] <Dr_Willis> !dyndns
[02:07] <Out_Cold> alex87, i think it does block on default... but cannot confirm.. (doesn't work for me)
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  a dynamic dns client/service lets you do that IF the machines are set up right
[02:07] <neezer> I'd like to be able to share files with friends pictures and things just through a webpage.
[02:07] <alex87> Out_Cold, thanks, i'll look into it
[02:07] <blakkheim> neezer: ftp?
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  then you setup a webserver and let them acccess it.
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  its much easier to just use a site like dropbox, or ubuntuone, or similer
[02:07] <BHoward> neezer, if thats your goal why not use dropbox?
[02:07] <Out_Cold> neezer, dyndns is your answer.... dns name servers help support this but should be automagically set by your ISP
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> much safer also :)
[02:08] <neezer> What is much safer?
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  you are not running services on your pc you dont need.. = safer
[02:08] <Out_Cold> Dr_Willis, neezer, dropbox is multi platform though where one is not.
[02:09] <Dr_Willis> Ubuntuone can be accessed via the web,.  i hear a windows client is in the works
[02:09] <neezer> I see....
[02:09] <Dr_Willis> Try them out.. see what they got.
[02:09] <Dr_Willis> I use drop.io a lot
[02:09] <neezer> Can my buddy just type in www.neezer.org and get to a website with my stuff on it then?
[02:09] <Out_Cold> yes... you can access your one account via windows web browser but you need your launchpad credentials
[02:09] <neezer> maybe with a username and password or someting.?
[02:10] <BHoward> you can setup a domain that will forward to your dropbox or ubuntuone address
[02:10] <Out_Cold> neezer, ideally yes, you would need a ftp client or apache2 and also dyndns account
[02:10] <Out_Cold> s/client/server/
[02:11] <neezer> hmmm...clearly I need to do more reading on the subject.
[02:11] <Out_Cold> neezer, if i can suggest... install something like proftpd and set up a new account at dyndns.org. Do you have a router?
[02:12] <neezer> would dyndns allow me to host my own webpage from my server?
[02:12] <Out_Cold> neezer, yes
[02:12] <bastid_raZor> neezer: yes
[02:12] <neezer> I am behind a WRT54G router....linksys
[02:12] <Out_Cold> neezer, perfect... i can suggest options in your router to support dyndns
[02:12] <bastid_raZor> neezer: dyndns is a domain provider. it will rought neezer.com (or whatever you name it) to point at your external IP
[02:13] <neezer> How do I get my name?
[02:13] <jakerue1> hey quick question about openwrt - anyone here willing to help, or point me to an irc channel not full of bots?  I already went to freenode and there are 120 users and no one is talking
[02:13] <bastid_raZor> s/rought/route
[02:13] <bastid_raZor> neezer: go there and sign up
[02:13] <neezer> go where?
[02:13] <bastid_raZor> neezer: dyndns.com
[02:13] <Out_Cold> neezer, it will be something like www.neezer.dyndns.org or some other extension
[02:14] <Out_Cold> mine is ****.doesntexist.org
[02:15] <neezer> then theoretically anyone could just open up a browser and type www.myname.dyndns.org and they would get to my page?
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> my router even has a Dyndns featuer built in
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  yes. Go read up at the Dyndns web site. :)
[02:15] <Out_Cold> neezer, a quick breakdown of your steps would be to register and obtain a domain from dyndns, set port forwarding and dyndns settings in your router, install a ftp or web server on your server, open your firewall for that service.
[02:15] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  thers other services that do a similer thing, DynDNS is just a common/big one
[02:15] <bastid_raZor> neezer: dyndns has a dameon available to allow you to use it still if you have a dynmic ip.. i used to use it before getting a static ip.
[02:16] <Out_Cold> Dr_Willis, the wrt543g has same thing
[02:16] <Out_Cold> -3
[02:16] <neezer> Thanks guys. I appreciate the help
[02:16] <Dr_Willis> I never use the feature - Just too much hassle.  The various drop box type sites are handier,  ;)
[02:16] <neezer> would i have to set up UFW or something like that.
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  your router has to set up port forwarding  yes.
[02:17] <neezer> I have a port forwarded for my ssh already.
[02:17] <Out_Cold> neezer, iptables or firestarter would get you going
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  and forward other ports.
[02:17] <Out_Cold> neezer, then the ftp or web would be easy
[02:17] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  This DOES open up your pc to potential attacks. thats why i dont use it.
[02:17] <neezer> I can access it remotely. I think I am still pretty safe...I don't have any ports besides my ssh port.
[02:17] <Out_Cold> i agree... i have been broken into twice
[02:18] <Out_Cold> neezer, do you use rsa keys?
[02:18] <neezer> well then maybe I don't want to do that.
[02:18] <neezer> yes I do
[02:18] <bastid_raZor> fail2ban is a good app to look into. serves me well with ssh and apache
[02:18] <Dr_Willis> I noticed once  i was getting Bulk login attempts on ssh when i left it open for a week
[02:18] <gantrixx> Is anyone here using the Chrome browser?
[02:18] <Out_Cold> the ftp users should have a /dev/null as thier shell... much safer
[02:18] <Dr_Willis> and definatly dont forward ports for vnc and so forth :)
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> gantrixx:  lots of are using it. google chrome, and chromium
[02:19] <gantrixx> It seems that most of the videos won't play on it and it just sits there and spins with "html5" on the screen
[02:19] <sysdoc> ardchoille, U there?
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> neezer:  this is why we are saying using dropbox or other services is safer way to get files to other people
[02:19] <gantrixx> why?
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> gantrixx:  they work here last i tried them
[02:19] <Ether> hey guys im trying to use ushare to share media to my 360... my ps3 sees the share, 360 doesnt
[02:19] <neezer> sounds good to me....Thanks Dr_Willis
[02:20] <neezer> sounds much easier too. I set up a drop box with a windows machine a few years ago.
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> gantrixx:   has it ever worked? got a URL to a video?
[02:20] <Out_Cold> neezer, i agree with Dr_Willis 100%. It is 'safer' but less practical.. the /dev/null shells and good passwords that are changed regularly, makes a good ftp server
[02:21] <gantrixx> Dr_Willis, No, it has never worked for me....at least not the ones that say "html5"  Here is a URL that doesn't work for me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cn1XTUyzBB0
[02:21] <jsec> Hi does anyone have any idea why my GDM login window would suddenly change color?
[02:21] <bastid_raZor> gantrixx: in chrome it works for me.
[02:21] <Out_Cold> jsec, upgraded recently?
[02:21] <gantrixx> Is there something else that I need to load?
[02:22] <jsec> Out_Cold, yeah but I didn't see if gdm was included or not. Is that the standard now?
[02:22] <gantrixx> a H.264 plugin?
[02:22] <Out_Cold> jsec, the 9.10 release has changed the way gdm looks and feels...
[02:22] <Dr_Willis> gantrixx:  i was thinking html5 currently does not support H264
[02:23] <sha0> I managed to install PPTP stuff and did ' modprobe ppp_mppe ' and ' /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart ' (as root) and killed nm-applet and restarted it but...
[02:23] <Dr_Willis> at this time at least
[02:23] <jsec> Out_Cold, no I know that. What I'm saying is that the black login window for my GDM is suddenly an off-white, and I'm trying to figure out how to get it back to black
[02:23] <compstudent> I <3 Ubuntu
[02:23] <chu_> Hi guys, I have a sight problem with Chromium, apparantly my user data is now unavailable?
[02:23] <sha0> Every time I enable Point-to-Point Encryption for the VPN connection and go back into Edit -> Advanced, it's been unchecked.
[02:23] <chussete> any London contractor IT programmer?
[02:23] <Out_Cold> jsec, never had the issue... did you check the forums?
[02:24] <jsec> Out_Cold, the only thing searching really yielded was people complaining they couldn't change themes anymore...
[02:24] <HammerHead66> can anyone tell me what the the terminal command to fix broken packages is?
[02:24] <gantrixx> !pastebin
[02:24] <igie> openssh help: Hi, can anyone tell me how to Chroot multiple users into multiple directories?
[02:24] <Out_Cold> jsec, that was what i was going to tell you... might be a bug?? check launchpad and maybe file a bug?
[02:25] <sha0> igie: As part of their login script?
[02:25] <gantrixx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/375865/  I get this error when trying to install things sometimes.  How do I fix it?
[02:25] <Dr_Willis> igie:  chrooting users to lock them down is a rather complex task.   Not just a trivial one command and its done thing
[02:25] <jsec> Out_Cold, I'll keep probing into it, but it just seems odd that it would randomly happen. Thx for the help.
[02:25] <chu_> When I start Chromium it gives me some error dialog saying "Your profile could not be opened correctly"
[02:25] <gantrixx> What public key are they talking about
[02:25] <chu_> Now, I'm kinda paranoid I have done some HDD damage somehow, or is it possible Chromium just crashed and hasn't released a "lock" (or something?) on my profile....
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> chu_:  or you somehow ran it as root and goofed up the permissions on the file
[02:26] <compstudent> what are the weird error codes called that look like "0xc004b011" assembly  or hex error codes? Is there a good place to find which each one means, which one is the coolest?
[02:26] <chu_> I wouldn't have run Chromium as root.
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> chu_:  you could remove the settings dirs perhaps.
[02:26] <sha0> No PPTP VPN users for Ubuntu 8.10?
[02:26] <igie> Sho0: I used the sshd_config file to confine users for a group to a specific directory... However, I got locked into that directory when I log in over sftp as well... I want to remove myself.
[02:26] <Dr_Willis> chu_:  or move them to some other dir/name and restart the browser
[02:26] <chussete> is there any London contractor IT programmer? (private)
[02:27] <Dr_Willis> chussete:  the odds of getting a response to that in here are low.
[02:27] <t0rc> best gdb gui?
[02:27] <sha0> igie: You could change your group membership?
[02:27] <chussete> Willis .. advices?
[02:27] <igie> Dr_Willis: Thanks, but I already have users of a specific group Chrooted, but when I log it I get confined as well.. I want to fix that,
[02:28] <chu_> Dr_Willis - Can you guide me on how-to either remove the settings directory or just move/rename them?
[02:28] <Out_Cold> chussete, call your local IT from yellow pages... if they have yellow pages in UK
[02:28] <igie> sha0: thats the first thing I tried, still locks me down though
[02:28] <sha0> igie: Has sshd restarted?
[02:28] <compstudent> What kind of code is this "0xc004b011"? hex from RAM?
[02:28] <Dr_Willis> chu_:  they are in some dir in your home. I dont use 'chromium' so i dont know what they are called
[02:28] <sha0> igie: Or otherwise reloaded its config-file.
[02:28] <igie> sha0: yup
[02:29] <echosystm> anyone here running 10.04 ?
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> echosystm:  see #ubuntu+1 channel
[02:29] <igie> Sha0: restarted ssh after adjusting the user group
[02:29] <sha0> igie: Sorry I don't know.  It doesn't make sense to me that after you've changed your group membership that the singular change you made to sshd's config-file would remain in force.
[02:29] <infid> t0rc: ddd is a good gdb gui
[02:29] <Dr_Willis> html5 is working for me in Youtube in firefox 3.6 -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0ExpwpzGsE&feature=popt00us04  For that guy asking about html5 earlier
[02:30] <igie> sha0: yea, it has me without a clue.
[02:30] <t0rc> infid, thanks
[02:31] <fabstermaster> hi guys
[02:32] <fabstermaster> Does anyone know a good video editor for linux? Or has experience if adobe premiere works well under virtualbox?
[02:32] <lee_> Is there a channel for 9.10 karmic kola problems?
[02:32] <gantrixx> has anyone tried to install flash with apt-get?
[02:32] <lee_> gantrixx yes
[02:33] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: are you trying to install flash 10 64-bit
[02:33] <gantrixx> yes
[02:33] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, yes
[02:33] <researcher11> How can I use Internet Explorer 7 on Ubuntu 9.10 without Wine installed?
[02:33] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: ok here's what you do
[02:33] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, when your YouTube videos start does it say HTML5 in the middle?  My FF 3.6 is not actually using HTML5, Chromium does however.
[02:33] <HammerHead66> gantrixx:  go to terminal
[02:33] <gantrixx> I'm there
[02:34] <kostkon> fabstermaster, you could try openshot → openshotvideo.com
[02:34] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, I'm there
[02:34] <HammerHead66> type in gksu nautilus
[02:34] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, ok done
[02:34] <HammerHead66> gantrixx:  now find all of your adobe file and delete them
[02:34] <lee_> I'm having trouble with my computer doing random logoffs. I think its a video setting issue
[02:34] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  i think it depends on the video. Testing ouit in difrernt browsers. Im on a TV right now not a PC monitor so i cant see the small text saying whats what.
[02:35] <HammerHead66> .so files in the plugin
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  I noticed Opera does default to flash even if im subsrived to the html5 beta
[02:35] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, I assume those would be in some mozilla/plugins directory
[02:35] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, i'm under the impression the FF does not support the H.246? codec for copyright reasons
[02:36] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: to find them you can go to "file system"
[02:36] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: "usr"
[02:36] <lee_> I want to know where I can find the error in the log file?
[02:36] <EViouS> If I install ubuntu server edition, can I use it like it were normal ubuntu?
[02:36] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: "lib"
[02:37] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, ok /usr/lib
[02:37] <Out_Cold> EViouS, yes and no, you need to install a desktop environment to use GUI
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  no idea on that. Testing with the following video -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jln44V0DZN8
[02:37] <tp43> Evil_DuDe, yep
[02:37] <EViouS> so when I get somewhere i just install gnome?
[02:37] <XRunner> anyone around to help with a issue i've having with Xubuntu 9.1 and my wireless card :( i can't log into my connection its asks for WPA password and I enter it and wont connect to it.. even tried typing in the password in hex and still nothing :(
[02:37] <tp43> EViouS, yeo
[02:37] <Out_Cold> gnome-desktop
[02:37] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, ok /usr/lib
[02:37] <EViouS> cool thanks.
[02:38] <jmullet> hey,  I'm brand new to linux, I had a friend set me up with a dual boot setup.   I have the new karmic koala,   I have been having some trouble with it freezing up (pretty well guaranteed each time we try to do anything) and being a bit of a pain.   seems to run slow sometimes.    who do I talk to and where do i go to get some answers and solutions,  (I took a look through the documentation pages and some forums,  and it seems that each
[02:38] <chu_> Dr_Willis, I *love* you :D
[02:38] <tp43> Evious why don't you install desktop version
[02:38] <Out_Cold> nvm... was gonna tell him about the wifi difficulties.. but too late
[02:38] <Papertowels> how can I find the brand/model of my RAM
[02:38] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, with the link you gave - Chromium is just sitting with a spinning HTML5 logo - and in FF 3.6 - "Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available"
[02:39] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: now go to "firefox," "firefox-3.0.17," firefox-addons" flashplugin-nonfree, mozilla and del them all
[02:39] <Out_Cold> chu_, if you didn't love Dr_Willis we'd castrate you and hang you to die..
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  on that exactg video. FF3.6 dont do html5, Google Chromium does. Opera is trying.. :)
[02:39] <researcher11> is it possible to us Internet explorer in Ubuntu 9.10?
[02:39] <Out_Cold> Papertowels, on the ram chip
[02:39] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: let me know when your done
[02:39] <Miracle> Hi folks. I am having trouble getting wpa_supplicant to authenticate with my router. Can someone help me troubleshoot it?
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> Opera is confused about it and trying to load it.
[02:39] <infid> Papertowels: sudo lswh -C memory
[02:39] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, you mean delete all the firefox directories?
[02:39] <chu_> researcher11: Not entirely sure why you would want to, but perhaps through WINE?
[02:39] <HammerHead66> no,no
[02:39] <Papertowels> I'm not taking the case off it's a load of work going through hundreds of cables lol
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  so i guess the moral is - if using Html5 use Google Chrome
[02:40] <Papertowels> and lshw -C memory tells me "Manufacturer1"
[02:40] <infid> Papertowels: that command will tell you teh vendor and everything
[02:40] <HammerHead66> gantrixx:  the .so files for the adobe plugin
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, that would be what I would expect from each browser (not sure about Opera actually)
[02:40] <researcher11> chu I have wine installed but not Windows XP
[02:40] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, delete just the libflashplayer.so?
[02:40] <Out_Cold> Papertowels, i may be mistaken but i'm pretty certain it's the only way
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, yes that is the moral here ;)
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  ive not tred the Chromium browser.
[02:40] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: yes
[02:40] <researcher11> one official site on whcih I need to do important work need IE7 browser only
[02:40] <Papertowels> I wish they'd port CPU-Z over to Linux :(
[02:40] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: make sure you get them all
[02:40] <Devrethman> Papertowels: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[02:40] <Out_Cold> researcher11, look into firefox agent
[02:40] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, and the flashplugin-alternative.so?
[02:41] <Papertowels> Devrethman, that isn't what O
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  another moral is Patented codecs/H.26X is a pain  :)
[02:41] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis, same as Chrome (the new version anyway), but Open source versus Chrome (proprietary) - the outcome is the same
[02:41] <Papertowels> I'm looking for
[02:41] <HammerHead66> yes
[02:41] <Out_Cold> researcher11, you can change what the website thinks you are using as web browser
[02:41] <researcher11> This is the link http://www.aicte-india.org/prmportal_enu/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=www.aicte-india.org
[02:41] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: yes
[02:41] <Devrethman> papertowels: What are you looking for, I just started paying attention.
[02:41] <researcher11> out-cold: HOW?
[02:41] <jaypur> does any1 have any netbook??? like aspire one??? i'd like to know if it can run inkscape easiely
[02:41] <grkblood13> does sopcast not owrk with 9.10?
[02:41] <Papertowels> how to get my memory model without opening the case
[02:41] <grkblood13> i keepo getting retrying channel on everything
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> jaypur:  Mine runs  most apps fine.
[02:41] <viktor_> asdf
[02:41]  * scunizi setting and maintaining a static IP through reboots.. painful but done.
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> jaypur:  the display is a little tiny for some tasks
[02:42] <infid> does google make chromium
[02:42] <Out_Cold> jaypur, i have an eeepc and other than a small kb works the same
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> jaypur:  i do GIMP work on it all the time
[02:42] <scunizi> infid: yes
[02:42] <Out_Cold> jaypur, but i don't use inkscape
[02:42] <kn100> what brand of laptop network cards works the best with ubuntu
[02:42] <infid> scunizi: i'm cu rrently running chrome, is there any advantage to chromium?
[02:42] <jaypur> Dr_Willis, yeah...  i'd liek to know that cuz i really would like to get it to my college and stay at the classes upgrading some projects...
[02:42] <ZykoticK9> infid, actually Chromium is the opensource project they base Chrome off of.
[02:42] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, OK libflashplayer.so and libflash-alternative.so has been deleted from firefox, firefox-3.6.2pre, firefox-addons, and flashplugin-installer
[02:42] <infid> kn100: intel works fine for me
[02:42] <Devrethman> Papertowels: Hrrm... cat /proc/meminfo maybe?
[02:42] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: mozilla?
[02:42] <scunizi> infid: chromium / chrome.. I thought they were the same.. you got a link to it?
[02:42] <researcher11> Out_Cold HOW do I change what the website thinks you are using as web browser????
[02:42] <jaypur> Dr_Willis, update my website...
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> Open sourced version - Vs Googles Custome Version
[02:43] <infid> chrome isnt very customizable
[02:43] <Papertowels> only shows a bunch of numbers, nothing about model or brand :(
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> researcher11:  'useragent' settings/plugins/extensions normally
[02:43] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: don't forget mozilla-firfox
[02:43] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, OK, yes, and mozzila
[02:43] <scunizi> infid: looks like Dr_Willis had the answer.. check above
[02:43] <researcher11> what is firefox agent?
[02:43] <infid> ?
[02:44] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, there is not mozilla-firefox directory in /usr/lib
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> the browsers useragent setting sends info the the servre telling the server what browser it is.  - the browsers can Lie. :)
[02:44] <ZykoticK9> infid, no really advantage to chromium right now -- does your chrome have bookmark syncing?  if not it's not the newest Chrome (there are a couple of bugs with Chromium that made there way into Google Chrome)
[02:44] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: ok now go back to file system
[02:44] <Out_Cold> researcher11, firefox agent plugin
[02:44] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, I'm there
[02:44] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: then usr
[02:44] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, I'm there
[02:45] <jaypur> Dr_Willis, i think the only problem about netbooks is multiple task rite?
[02:45] <jaypur> *tasks
[02:45] <Out_Cold> researcher11, it adjusts your browser headers to appear like IE7 or Opera or Netscape
[02:45] <michal_> i have a problem w/ my comp booting from extr drive instead of internal drive
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> jaypur:  mine multitasks just find
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> jaypur:  the onlyu problem i have is the tiny screen and some apps
[02:45] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: ok now do the same thing in "lib32" and "lib64" ok let me know when your done
[02:45] <jaypur> Dr_Willis, what kind of apps
[02:45] <researcher11> Out_Cold:Im quite new so will u please guide me step by step? PLEASE
[02:45] <FluxD> Is there a bug with grub2 where even though the option to hide grub menu is enabled it doesnt hide it ?
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> jaypur:  for most people - the netbooks got plenty of cpu powar
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> jaypur:  ones that display TALL dialogs and windows byu default
[02:46] <Out_Cold> researcher11, browse around in the firefox plugins. look for an agent.. i have used once so i know of it, not familiar with it
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> jaypur:  bad gui design by many of the app makers :)
[02:46] <collabra> michal_ : check your computer's bios,... change your boot order
[02:46] <researcher11> ok
[02:46] <jaypur> hmm
[02:46] <michal_> collabra: its set w/ internal first
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> even the ubuntu installers (used to?) have a few dialog boxs that were almost off the bottom of the screen
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> Ive noticed the problem more with windows apps then linux ones
[02:47] <collabra> michal_ : are you sure,.... if you are then, are you sure you have an os on your internal drive?
[02:47] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, OK, done (there wasn't anything in there)
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> the alt-click anywhere to move - in Linux is a lifesaver :)
[02:47] <bluephase> does anyone know about ifuse?
[02:47] <FluxD> How do you hide grub menu in grub2? Is there a bug with grub2 where even though the option to hide grub menu is enabled it doesnt hide it ? Because its not working for me
[02:47] <michal_> collabra: the external usb drive is on the very buttom...lol. yes i have a os :)
[02:47] <wterrey> Is Ubuntu good for games?
[02:48] <jaypur> Dr_Willis, so you're saying that some apps does not fit right in the screen
[02:48] <torchie> whose games
[02:48] <lee_> Question about my ubuntu randomly logging me off
[02:48] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: ok now go to this site and download it's on the bottom link    http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html
[02:48] <scunizi> wterrey: sure check out www.playdeb.net
[02:48] <ZykoticK9> wterrey, same as any other linux distro
[02:48] <wterrey> Thanks
[02:48] <Out_Cold> wterrey, yes an no.. good for some windows games.. (see !wine) great for linux games
[02:48] <munk> Hi all. Theres something about linux that is driving me nutz and I cant figure out why it does this. When I go to install a library (x264 encoder) it puts it in /usr/local/lib and not /usr/lib. Whats the deal with this local directory and why doesnt it search it aswell?
[02:48] <michal_> collabra: its only on bootup. i have to unplug it before it goes to grub and then its all fine
[02:48] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: just save the file to you desktop
[02:49] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, done
[02:49] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, I saved it to /tmp
[02:49] <candy> wterrey, ya its good for games but still high quality games lack
[02:49] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: ya that's ok
[02:49] <torchie> how well does wine run?
[02:49] <collabra> michal_ : lol,... i'm not sure then,... i'd double check my bios,... there is no reason your computer should only boot to the external. try getting rid of your external boot option in your bios all together.
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> munk:  stuff thtas not from the package manager should be inb  /usr/local Not the normal /usr/lib where it COULD conflict with stuff from the package manager
[02:49] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, untar it?
[02:49] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: now extract to the same place
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> munk:  its a feature :)
[02:49] <wterrey> I was thinking more like first person shooters and strategy
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> munk:  and it does search it here for me
[02:49] <candy> torchie, depends on ur ram
[02:49] <PeterT> I just installed wubi ubuntu and now my start-up screen is not centered correctly. Can anyone help me fix this?
[02:50] <michal_> collabra: how do i go about doing that? it doesnt seem to have that option
[02:50] <PeterT> Also note, I uninstalled wubi ubuntu
[02:50] <ZykoticK9> munk, how are you trying to install h264 codec?  what program you you trying to use it with?
[02:50] <Out_Cold> wterrey, lots that are linux native.... a handful of windows games also work under wine with proper settings
[02:50] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: u see the .so file?
[02:50] <jeffmr> PeterT, is that windows 7?
[02:50] <PeterT> jeffmr: No, Windows XP
[02:50] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, yes
[02:51] <munk> ZykoticK9, I am trying to compile x264 then compile ffmpeg on top of it
[02:51] <HammerHead66> ok right click it and the click copy
[02:51] <jeffmr> PeterT, you could try the repair option from the cd
[02:51] <munk> ZykoticK9, to finally compile transcode
[02:51] <ZykoticK9> munk, why are you compiling everything?  these programs are available in the repo
[02:51] <PeterT> Hmm?
[02:51] <PeterT> jeffmr: I don't have the CD
[02:51] <collabra> michal_: on every computer,... while it's booting up,... it gives you options,... on some is the DEL key on other F10 on other F12,.... press whatever button gets you into your bios and change your boot order
[02:51] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, I was doing it from the command line
[02:51] <PeterT> jeffmr: I have the ISO on a usb
[02:51] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, let me get back into nautilus
[02:51] <wterrey> Any good titles Out-Cold?
[02:51] <PeterT> jeffmr: Also, my boot options are screwe up
[02:52] <munk> ZykoticK9, transcode doesnt support x264 in the repos
[02:52] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: ok
[02:52] <collabra> michal_ : careful while your in there though,....
[02:52] <jeffmr> PeterT, are they still ubuntu?
[02:52] <michal_> collabr: i understad that i mean is how do i completly remove that option?
[02:52] <PeterT> jeffmr: Yes
[02:52] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, OK, where do you want me to copy it?
[02:52] <jeffmr> PeterT, sound like you need to restore the mbr
[02:52] <PeterT> mbr?
[02:52] <jeffmr> give me a minute
[02:53] <michal_> collabra: my other comp works fine its only on this compaq
[02:53] <HammerHead66> to all the places I had you del it from before
[02:53] <jeffmr> PeterT, master boot record or use msconfig to delete the unneeded entries
[02:53] <munk> ZykoticK9, and the repo of the x264 library is compiled as 32bit without fPIC
[02:53] <ZykoticK9> munk, i'm using Handbrake to do my H.264 or Arista Transcode does it as well i believe.  But transcode is a powerful encoder so if that's the one you want i guess compiling is the only way to go - but it's not going to be easy, as you've already discovered.  best of luck man.
[02:53] <collabra> michal_: ah,.. that depends on the bios,... most allow you to change or delete boot up options
[02:53] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: to all the places I had you del it from before. make sure it's in all of those places
[02:53] <PeterT> restore? Doesn't sound good, jeffmr
[02:53] <chalcedony> bluephase, hi
[02:53] <grkblood13> anyone here running sopcast?
[02:54] <jeffmr> PeterT, its pretty harmless
[02:54] <jeffmr> just a second
[02:54] <grkblood13> my sopcast keeps saying "retrying channel"
[02:54] <abstrakt> i've got a funky issue with eclipse where my mouse doesn't actually cause buttons to "click" when I click them. the graphics indicate they've been clicked, but I can't actually trigger the appropriate event handlers unless i tab to them with my keyboard and hit enter... any ideas
[02:54] <grkblood13> but it plays on my windows box
[02:54] <munk> ZykoticK9, yea I need transcode to do huge batches of video clips in a bash script
[02:54] <ZykoticK9> munk, i figured it would be something along those lines - best of luck man.
[02:54] <michal_> collabra: like i said i can change the order but not remove the device...also can i see the bios after i bootup(inside hperterminnal)
[02:54] <Viktor_L> after the newest samba update i am getting this error msg over and over.
[02:54] <bluephase> chalcedony: hi, the problem im having is that when i connect the iphone it just mounts it as a digital camera rather than a drive.  ive checked google and it suggested using sudo ifuse /media/phone but thats not doing anything either?
[02:55] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, many of these must be links because I see libflashplayer.so in there again
[02:55] <jeffmr> PeterT, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/repairmbr.htm
[02:55] <MTecknology> 20:49 < Dr_Willis> munk:  stuff thtas not from the package manager should be inb  /usr/local Not the normal /usr/lib where it COULD conflict with stuff from the package manager
[02:55] <collabra> michal_: and changing the boot order doesn't solve your problem?
[02:55] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: there are but it's important to make sure they all have it
[02:55] <MTecknology> Dr_Willis: awesome text :)
[02:55] <michal_> collabra: nah
[02:55] <PeterT> jeffmr: Thank you so much! I will try that and will be back with some results, thanks :-)
[02:55] <chalcedony> bluephase, i do hope other people here will have had some experience mounting an iphone on ubuntu
[02:55] <jeffmr> PeterT, also you can try start menu - run - msconfig and then under boot delete the unwanted boot option entry for ubuntu
[02:56] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, OK lib and lib64 have it.  There are no firefox/mozilla directories in lib32
[02:56] <bluephase> chalcedony: me too!
[02:56] <collabra> michal_ : that's strange,... i'd take a second look,... sorry i couldn't help you
[02:56] <jeffmr> PeterT, sure
[02:56] <michal_> collabra: no prob thax
[02:56] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, I'm assume I just restart my browser now
[02:56] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: ok try it, it should work
[02:56] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: yea
[02:56] <PeterT> jeffmr: You mean something like "C:\*.mbr: Ubuntu"?
[02:56] <grkblood13> noone here is running sopcast?
[02:56] <jonzbcc> hi, I'm trying to compile the abook utility from the latest source -- but when running ./configure I get an error message "configure: error: no curses library found" -- but I have a version of abook installed from synaptic, and I use midnight commander so I'm sure I hvae the ncurses library installed. any suggestions?
[02:57] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, thanks
[02:57] <gantrixx> it works
[02:57] <bluephase> does anyone know about ifuse?
[02:57] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: so it works?
[02:57] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, yes, it works
[02:57] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: good deal I just spent all day fixing that same problem
[02:58] <gantrixx> HammerHead66, thanks for your help
[02:58] <jeffmr> PeterT, no there is just a windows that says windows xp and ubuntu and then an option to delete an entry if you want
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> !info ifuse
[02:58] <HammerHead66> gantrixx: no prob
[02:58] <jonzbcc> anybody have experience compiling from source? what do you usually edit to make things work?
[02:58] <itamarjp> anyone can recommend a easy way to upgrade mysql on ubuntu ?
[02:58] <Dr_Willis> jonzbcc:  i usually install the needed -dev packages and do the  ./configure, make, sudo make install, and it works
[02:58] <jeffmr> jonzbcc, the config file
[02:58] <itamarjp> I want the 5.1.43 version
[02:59] <PeterT> jeffmr: Under boot.ini?
[02:59] <jonzbcc> jeffmr: the ./configure file that I ran? vi into it?
[02:59] <jeffmr> PeterT, its in msconfig under the boot tab
[02:59] <Dr_Willis> jonzbcc:  there may be some config file you actually edit/change stuff in. depending on what you are changeing
[02:59] <Viktor_L> net usershare' returned error 255 error is the one im getting from samba after i updated my server foolishly
[02:59] <jeffmr> jonzbcc, usually you don't have to change anything but if you do its the .configure file
[03:00] <Viktor_L> everything worked pre updating, now i can not access from windows, or log onto from unix to my samba server
[03:00] <al_> I thought I had a great idea, I have been removing viruses out of windows machines with my Ubunutu box. I decided to try to run regedit under Wine to open the windows registrys offline - but I couldnt get regedit to work
[03:00] <jeffmr> PeterT, I can't remember specifically.  I don't have windows installed right now
[03:00] <Dr_Willis> al_:  ive seen linux live cd's with rescue/reg edit features like that
[03:00] <jeffmr> PeterT, but its the boot or boot.ini tab
[03:01] <PeterT> jeffmr: I see "BOOT.INI", then I see "[operating systems]", then I see some code and "Windows XP", then I see "C:\wubildr.mbr", but I don't see a remove/delete button anywhere
[03:01] <al_> Dr_Willis: hmmm, really? which dsitor?
[03:01] <jeffmr> PeterT, thats it.  I think if you select one of them there is some button there that lets you remove one.  I don't know if its called advanced or what.  Also try right clicking on one or pressing the delete key
[03:02] <jonzbcc> Dr_Willis: the ./INSTALL file doesn't mention any other files except the steps: ./configure; make ; make install  -- and I don't see any obvious files in the directory. do you know anything ncurses? Maybe I could see where my ncurses library is and see if the script is wrong
[03:02] <robertpolson> How would i use dd to copy my mbr to a file on a thumbdrive?
[03:02] <alohadoubt> hi, i have installed ubuntu 9.04 in my vps and now i already installed everything mysqserv5.0 php5 apache2 and libraries need now i tried to manually configure the phpmyadmin v3.2.5 when i tries to access my phpmyadmin in my browser i always get a download file with "application/x-httpd-php" also i tried reading some other guide but no luck even with setupscript i dunno know what to do else.
[03:02] <robertpolson> In the hopes of restoring the mbr later
[03:02] <PeterT> jeffmr: There isn't actually, I'm going to try this guide: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022
[03:02] <here4thegear> Hi all, this isn't exactly ubuntu specific but there isn't a room for pear so, I have an ubuntu server and doing "sudo pear install" and am getting errors on all attempts to install packages that I know exist within my pear.php.net channel list. Am I doing something wrong? is there something I can do to fix this? thanks
[03:03] <jeffmr> PeterT, yeah that does the same thing
[03:03] <PeterT> jeffmr: Ok
[03:04] <robertpolson> Hi, how would i backup my mbr using dd?
[03:04] <abstrakt> where should I put exports for environment variables so that they always take effect when I log in?
[03:04] <abstrakt> e.g. export FOO=1
[03:04] <carbm1> robertpolson: is there something special about your MBR than just GRUB?
[03:04] <here4thegear> abstrakt: .bashrc
[03:04] <PeterT> jeffmr: Ok, just deleted the boot entry, now trying a restart
[03:04] <abstrakt> i mean i know i can put it in .bash_profile and it'll be like that when i run a terminal... but is it the same for GNOME?
[03:05] <abstrakt> here4thegear, k would it be better to put it in .bash_profile ?
[03:05] <researcher11> I have installed User Agent Switcher 0.7.2 to enable access to this link http://www.aicte-india.org/prmportal_enu/start.swe?SWECmd=Start&SWEHo=www.aicte-india.org which opens with IE6 or IE7 only. But still I cant login for very urgent office work.Can somebody HELP. Thanks Out_Cold anyway
[03:05] <Dr_Willis> isent it .profile ?
[03:05]  * abstrakt admits he still doesn't quite understand the difference between rc and _profile
[03:05] <robertpolson> carbm1, i have a corrupted win 7 install on another partiton that won't boot, trying to re install windows without erasing my other data
[03:05] <jeffmr> robertpoison, http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ddcommand.htm
[03:05] <robertpolson> deleting*
[03:05] <abstrakt> i know i know "one is for login and the other for 'non-login' shells"
[03:05] <abstrakt> i just need the thing to take effect when i log in to ubuntu as my regular user, like GUI style... the first screen that I see after booting
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> abstrakt:  thats it exactly. one gets ran ONCE normally. other ters ran at each login/new terminal
[03:06] <jonzbcc> abstrakt: differnt files get run at different steps of login/boot etc. I've read about it a bunch of times and don't remember the details
[03:06] <here4thegear> abstrakt: .bashrc is where I generally put it all out of habit, I am unsure of what everyone else would say is best practice though.
[03:06] <alohadoubt> hi i just need lil help here on how am I able to install phpmyadmin in ubuntu 9.04
[03:06] <jeffmr> robertpolson, did you try the repair option from the windows 7 cd?
[03:06] <Dr_Willis> abstrakt:  as a test toss in a 'echo this is .profile' at the front of ,profile and similer in the other files and watch when they say they are getting ran
[03:06] <robertpolson> yes, to no avail
[03:06] <carbm1> robertpolson: I dont' know if its possible to install Windows 7 without it overwritting you MBR... but you could use the Ubuntu Alt CD and rescue a broken install and just select fix Grub and all should be back to normal.
[03:06] <PeterT> jeffmr: you there still?
[03:07] <jeffmr> PeterT, yes
[03:07] <Dr_Willis> abstrakt:  'xterm -ls ' will run one (or both) whild just xterm will run one
[03:07] <jonzbcc> abstrakt: do you use gnome?
[03:07] <jonzbcc> abstrakt: (sorry I'm totally tail ending the convo here, to help)
[03:07] <PeterT> jeffmr: Ok, so I've restarted, but boot entry for Ubuntu is gone, but now the boot menu (F12) is missaligned
[03:07] <abstrakt> yeah i use gnome
[03:07] <itamarjp> hello, someone can help to upgrade my mysql to 5.1.43 in ubuntu ?
[03:07] <Tommy89> Hi, can someone tell me, do you need samba running on a web server?
[03:07] <abstrakt> KDE = the sux :P (shhh don't tell the KDE ppl)
[03:07] <robertpolson> carbm1, all i care about is that my other 2 partitions stay intact, if the mbr gets erased that's fine as long as i can restore it
[03:08] <abstrakt> Tommy89, no, i don't
[03:08] <jeffmr> PeterT, post your boot.ini to pastbin.ca
[03:08] <abstrakt> what do i win?
[03:08] <abstrakt> aight well whatever... which one is which, profile is execed everytime and rc is the "only once" variety?
[03:08] <PeterT> jeffmr: One sec
[03:08] <jonzbcc> abstrakt: if you have commands you want to be run when you login to your gnome enviornment  -- you can put them in  a script, then list the script in the "startups" -- its in "system" > "preferences" > "startup applications"
[03:08] <carbm1> robertpolson: Even if you run a Windows 7 repair.... NOT A SYSTEM RECOVERY! Your other partitions should remain intact.   You would need to do a FULL system backup to ensure that.
[03:09] <here4thegear> Tommy89: you need Samba server running, it doesn't have to be on a server it just has to be a discoverable machine within your network
[03:09] <abstrakt> jonzbcc, aight sounds reasonable, thx for the suggestion
[03:09] <robertpolson> hm, okay
[03:09] <jonzbcc> Tommy89: samba is purely for Microsoft networking compatibility.
[03:09] <abstrakt> jonzbcc, i already answered his question :P
[03:09] <PeterT> jeffmr: pastebin.ca just timedout for me, can I paste it somewhere else?
[03:09] <abstrakt> i don't need samba
[03:09] <Tommy89> I stopped it on my server, because i didn't think i need it?
[03:09] <jeffmr> pm me
[03:09] <abstrakt> can't speak for him
[03:10] <abstrakt> Tommy89, google is ur frend
[03:10] <here4thegear> Tommy89: is this a server at a work location?
[03:10] <abstrakt> Tommy89, http://gog.is/samba
[03:10] <Tommy89> this server is just for a website, so i wouldn't need samba to run?
[03:10] <abstrakt> Tommy89, dude if you don't know what samba is, you don't need it
[03:11] <jonzbcc> abstrakt: :) thanks. didn't see
[03:11] <Dr_Willis> :)
[03:11] <here4thegear> abstrakt: don't tell him that!!!
[03:11] <abstrakt> Tommy89, and plz ejukate urseff b4 asking dumb questions, there's a wealth of information on what samba is
[03:11] <abstrakt> here4thegear, too late
[03:12] <jonzbcc> Tommy89: I agree with abstrakt, but just curious -- what does the server serve?
[03:12] <abstrakt> Tommy89, go read about what it is and decide for yourself whether you want it or not
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc
[03:12] <FluxD> How do you hide grub menu in grub2? Is there a bug with grub2 where even though the option to hide grub menu is enabled it doesnt hide it ? Because its not working for me
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> FluxD:  you are running update-grub after changeing the configs?
[03:12] <FluxD> yes Dr_Willis
[03:12] <here4thegear> Tommy89: if you have other developers on that site, they may be using samba. it's a way of 'mounting' folders to windows (for network mapping)
[03:12] <carbm1> FluxD: did you run update-grub after making your changes?
[03:12] <Dr_Willis> FluxD:  just checking, :)
[03:12] <carbm1> n/m
[03:13] <Dr_Willis> ive never tried hideing the menus, so no idea if it works or not
[03:16] <FluxD> # GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[03:16] <FluxD> * The menu will be hidden unless a # symbol is present at the beginning of this line. ( # GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 )
[03:16] <FluxD> * Bugs still exist in this feature. Hiding the menu may or may not work.
[03:16] <FluxD> :(
[03:16] <FloodBot2> FluxD: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:16] <FluxD> oops

[03:23] <robertpolson_ima> now it has no file system
[03:23] <FloodBot2> jacky: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:23] <here4thegear> though, Louisiana was bought for a beer
[03:23] <XRU-BSP> my wireless card on my laptop wont authenticate with my router (WPA/WPA2 personal) i'm running Xubuntu 9.10 and its a intel wifi 5100 AGN card
[03:23] <jacky> oops, sorry for that link.
[03:23] <Dr_Willis> jacky:  there are OS-X type docks - and some that are actually useable as well
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> jacky:  try the docky dock bar
[03:24] <crackpot> how do I go about removing PHP command line? i have tried "sudo apt-get remove php/php4/php5/apache2" and all of them say not installed, yet php command works
[03:24] <jacky> how do i go about doing it?
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> !find php
[03:24] <myk_robinson> evening, all..Need some help with a touchpad, I am unable to load the synaptics driver in Ubuntu 9.10  Details here:   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8822854#post8822854
[03:24] <carbm1> XRU-BSP: will it connect to an unencrypted wireless? or just not any WPA/WPA2?
[03:24] <jacky> where can i locate the docky dock bar?
[03:24] <Dr_Willis> jacky:  find the docky ppa's enable/install docky
[03:24] <skavez> Any ideas as to how to recover "root.disk" from WUBI? I think I've determined that a power failure corrupted the NTFS disk, but I ran chkdsk /r and /f but haven't been able to find the file. I'm running Windows 7 -- does it throw recovered files somewhere other than C:\found? Or is all my data gone?
[03:24] <here4thegear> crackpot: it's php-cli that you need to remove
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> jacky:  of all the docks ive actually tried.. docky sucked the least.
[03:25] <crackpot> is it okay to remove it? i use LAMPP so I was planning on adding the LAMPP dir to $PATH and using CLI that way
[03:25] <Dr_Willis> skavez:  you could boot a live cd and mount the root.disk file and see if you can access data on it
[03:25] <crackpot> LAMPP runs the latest version of PHP and I have more control over what's going on.
[03:25] <jacky> Dr Willis, do i install it in software center? sorry, i just started using ubuntu yesterday so might not be understand what you're trying to tell me.
[03:26] <al_> hmmm, what can I do about a old PC that doesnt detect my LInux CD? It detects a windows one ok?
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> !ppa | jacky
[03:26] <skavez> Dr_Willis: I can't locate the root.disk file -- it's not in C:\ubuntu\disks
[03:26] <al_> got booting....
[03:26] <al_> for booting
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> skavez:  no idea on that.
[03:26] <Dr_Willis> jacky:  i would suggest learning ubuntu basics then and not worry about docks and stuff - the gnome-do tool has a docky theme/feature but Docky is now its own seperate dock/program with more features
[03:26] <myk_robinson> jacky:  take a look at this:   http://wiki.go-docky.com/index.php?title=Install
[03:26] <carbm1> skavez: The c:\found directory would have renamed the file.  Did you find an randomly named file that was LARGE? That might be your missing file.
[03:27] <crackpot> that did it, thanks here4thgear!
[03:27] <jacky> dr willis, ok so what are the things i would need to know about ubuntu for a beginner?
[03:27] <skavez> carbm1: that directory doesn't exist either -- i was hoping Windows 7 might dump it somewhere else
[03:27] <here4thegear> crackpot: no problem.. also, there might be php5-cli (but it's been a while I can't remember)
[03:28] <keepsake> Dr_Willis: Arguably the Gnome-Do portion of Docky1 is useful enough to not upgrade to Docky2.
[03:29] <keepsake> Dr_Willis: At least that's why I've kept Docky1
[03:29] <keepsake> Dr_Willis: And by that I mean the integration, since you can run both separately as well
[03:29] <carbm1> skavez:  That is exactly why I don't run Ubuntu that way anymore. I got tired of that constantly happening.  I now resize the partitions and install Ubuntu at the end of the drive.  I wish I could be of more help. Maybe you can find a Undelete program for NTFS?
[03:30] <ZiG|ZaG> question. in your opinions would it be a good idea to start playing with LAMP as a novice linux user before having a deeper understanding of the O/S? My thinking is it would contribute to the overall learning anyway right?
[03:30] <Flannel> ZiG|ZaG: Sure, getting your hands dirty is a great way to learn
[03:30] <here4thegear> does anyone have some advice about installing pear packages (php pear)... I keep getting errors while trying to install using sudo pear install <packagename>
[03:30] <ssmy> ZiG|ZaG: no, use it as a desktop os to get the gist of it then go into lamp.
[03:30] <Rook-A01> Hello. I want to compile a static binary for easy distribution of a game but I cannot find a proper howto...  Can anyone help  me?
[03:31] <skavez> carbm1: think i'll just go ahead and run it on a separate partition. i sensed this would happen, but i couldn't get any of the usb-creator/unetbootin installs working for a livecd (installing onto a blasted netbook).
[03:31] <ZiG|ZaG> okok Flannel and ssmy, both valid opinions
[03:31] <ssmy> here4thegear: pear has never been anything but trouble for me. are you sure the package isn't just packaged in the repos? much easier.
[03:31] <skavez> carbm1: it's not too much data -- most was on a server, so i can re-create it, but it sucks anyhow. are partitioned installs more stable?
[03:31] <alohadoubt> someone here have setup phpmyadmin in ubuntu 9.04 ?
[03:31] <ZiG|ZaG> think i'll go with getting my hands dirty
[03:31] <keepsake> skavez: Doubtlessly.
[03:32] <carbm1> skavez: One reason I used to prefer the Wubi was the simple boot menu.  Yes own partitions are much more stable... but you have to have the Grub boot loader.
[03:32] <here4thegear> ssmy: how can I check that.. pear is one thing that is fairly new to me
[03:32] <keepsake> carbm1: Grub is pretty easy to use and it doesn't interfere with using Windows though.
[03:32] <Rook-A01> Anyone knows? If not because I run static binaries often I'd even say they don't exist judging by the online documentation of the process! xD
[03:33] <skavez> carbm1, keepsake: thanks -- will try a new install now that i finally got a bootable pendrive working (pendrivelinux.com)
[03:33] <carbm1> keepsake: When your trying to explain to to a complete newbie though its a pain. Yes, select the first Ubuntu kernel and then if you want your Windows its the second from the last. If you select the last one you'll boot into your recovery partition so don't do that.  Just doesn't go over very well.
[03:33] <keepsake> Rook-A01: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware
[03:34] <carbm1> keepsake: Keeping in mind I install Ubuntu on every computer that I work on as a separate partition. I've wrote this little grub script to make the grub menu easier... http://www.carbm1.com/?p=352
[03:34] <here4thegear> ssmy: even this gives me nothing but errors "pear download-all" error after error... nothing downloading
[03:34] <dharma> ALGUIEN SABE DE UN PROGRAMA SIMILAR AL C#
[03:34] <Rook-A01> keepsake: Doesn't say anything about creating static binaries :/
[03:34] <Rook-A01> dharma: Vala
[03:34] <scunizi> dharma: mono
[03:34] <grkblood13> i have a single VOB file that contains a bunch of chapters and i want to trim the video, the problem is when i open it in avidemux it only allows me to see the first chapter
[03:34] <grkblood13> how do i see the others
[03:35] <dharma> OK GRACIAS
[03:35] <keepsake> Rook-A01: Actually it will create a .deb
[03:35] <here4thegear> "cannot initialize package, invalid or missing package file" I get that for each package
[03:35] <morrison> hi i am looking for someone who mite know a little about X server
[03:36] <scunizi> morrison: what's the real question.. there's lots of knowledgable people here.
[03:36] <jacky> guys, before i installed ubuntu. i have xp installed with 3 partitions on my laptop and did a backup via acronis. so now that i installed ubuntu on my whole hdd instead of a partition, can i simply do a restore of windows xp via acronis again?
[03:36] <Rook-A01> keepsake: But a .deb will only work for debian-based systems and will require installing smaller libraries which is a hassle. Also I am considering using a non-standard Lua library... Sure I can do a wrapper but it's not as elegant.
[03:36] <ZykoticK9> grkblood13, if you open you VOB with a video player does it see the other chapter?  Typically you wouldn't have 1 VOB file but many - i'm worried this file might not contain what you think it does.
[03:37] <Rook-A01> A game should be "click and run"
[03:37] <grkblood13> ZykoticK9, yes you do
[03:37] <grkblood13> its a video from my sony handycam
[03:37] <Flynsarmy> How can i add gtksourcecompletion to gtksourceview (on 9.10) like this: http://blogs.gnome.org/nacho/2009/12/05/news-on-geditgtksourceview/
[03:37] <grkblood13> if i open it selecting DVD with xine i see all chapters
[03:37] <carbm1> jacky: You should be able to. You might have to fix your MBR for Windows though. Hopefully your acronis image included the MBR.
[03:37] <morrison> I am trying to hook my tv up via s-video and ubuntu sees the tv and monitor as one screen i want it to be two screens
[03:38] <keepsake> Rook-A01: Ah, I can't help you there then
[03:38] <scunizi> grkblood13: as a different question .. did you create the vob file using a firewire connection between the computer and the camera?
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  what video card?
[03:38] <ZykoticK9> grkblood13, i have no suggestions for you (but glad the video is all there)
[03:38] <jacky> whats a mbr? if acronis didn't include it in, what should i do?
[03:38] <grkblood13> ZykoticK9, and if i open the single file with vlc all of the chapters play
[03:38] <morrison> Nvidia
[03:38] <morrison> hold on i have the actual model
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  use the bnvida settings tool and enable seperate X displays
[03:38] <Rook-A01> keepsake: Aw...thank you anyway. I wonder why this is such an undocumented process :(
[03:38] <grkblood13> scunizi, no
[03:38] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  i tend to use one WIDE desktop and drag my media player to the tv and maxamize it
[03:38] <grkblood13> i formatted it with the player
[03:39] <grkblood13> hnadycam that is
[03:39] <morrison> GeForce 7300 LE
[03:39] <scunizi> grkblood13: darn.. I've been trying to get my system to recognize my camera and ieee1394 card
[03:39] <Rook-A01> Well I guess I will try asking at a different time, someone has to know! xD
[03:39] <grkblood13> my camera wont recognize my computer
[03:39] <grkblood13> or vice versa
[03:39] <carbm1> jacky: You'll need a Windows XP cd, boot disk.... or a Windows 98 floppy to fix your MBR. On the XP cd you can boot to the Recovery Console and type "fixmbr"... on the Win98 you can type "fdisk /mbr"
[03:39] <grkblood13> i have to format it before hand
[03:39] <grkblood13> with usb atleast
[03:39] <morrison> yeah i tried the seperate x screens through the nvidia setting and it gives me an error
[03:39] <carbm1> jacky: but honestly if you imaged your entire hard drive.... it probably includes the MBR.
[03:40] <ZykoticK9> scunizi, have you tried kino (with gksu) only way i've been able to dump video from 1394
[03:40] <grkblood13> so the question is, how do i edit a single VOB file with multiple chapters
[03:40] <kthomas_vh_> what's the default download directory for epiphany?
[03:40] <carbm1> jacky: Theres also a way to do this from inside of Ubuntu so you could technically do it from a live Ubuntu CD.
[03:40] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  i had to save the xorg.conf the settings tool made - to a seperate file first. then copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf  I recall.  or use a backup xorg.conf -  the tool gets confused if thers no xorg.conf file at all
[03:40] <scunizi> ZykoticK9: running it a root? nope..haven't tried that.. I'll give it a shot though. do you have to chown the files after?
[03:40] <here4thegear> jacky: MBR = Master Boot Record.. it's usually the partition on your hd that begins at (0,0) and holds the information regarding your partition tables
[03:41] <ZykoticK9> scunizi, i believe so but don't remember for sure
[03:41] <scunizi> ZykoticK9: ok.. thanks..
[03:41] <hanasaki> what is a good text tool to test network bandwidth?
[03:41] <morrison> I have tried editing the x.conf file and everytime i go through some forums and try to do something ubuntu boots into low graphics mode
[03:42] <skavez> carbm1: that script looks great -- i'll be sure to try it. i've never had problems with ubuntu or debian as a server, but something always goes wrong on my desktop installs. i'm usually not "rm -rf /"ing things :)
[03:42] <morrison> luckily i keep backing the x.conf file
[03:42] <scunizi> morrison: xrandr controls video..
[03:42] <maxflax> I have a problem with my tty:s is not loaded so I only get black screen trying to change.. im on Karmic
[03:42] <morrison> is that through the terminal as well
[03:42] <maxflax> worked before upgradring to Karmic
[03:42] <scunizi> morrison: yes
[03:43] <scunizi> !resolution | morrison
[03:43] <scunizi> morrison: the last like has xrandr examples.. and settings..
[03:44] <maxflax> Is there somthing that mess up the load script of ttys - and is there something i can do to fix it.. beeing forced to manual load the ttys isn't very fun
[03:44] <LinuxGay> hellow
[03:44] <LinuxGay> gay linux user here
[03:44] <LinuxGay> any m4m
[03:44] <scunizi> !ops | LinuxGay trolling
[03:44] <kthomas_vh_> um,  this is not a dating channel
[03:44] <maxflax> Anybody have any knowledge that can help me to fix this mess
[03:44] <damo22> LMFAO
[03:45] <morrison> i have been at this since yesterday went to bed at 6am and woke up at 12 this after noon and am about to throw it out the window, the whole reason i started this is because windows finnally pissed me off and died
[03:46] <scunizi> morrison: the xrandr link specifically shows a svideo configuration line..
[03:46] <damo22> morrison: good choice
[03:46] <damo22> except the window singular part
[03:46] <eclipse_> anyone here runnin amd 64
[03:46] <maxflax> what script loads the ttys at boot..
[03:46] <ZykoticK9> eclipse_, many people actually
[03:46] <scunizi> eclipse_: yep
[03:46] <morrison> i have ubuntu on my laptop and i never had problems with it, this is my wifes desktop so i said time to switch you over
[03:46] <FluxD> I am eclipse_
[03:46] <maxflax> must be something wrong with it
[03:47] <eclipse_> anyone have broadcom sta drivers working... cant stay connected to a wireless connection and dunno if its the drivers or the router
[03:47] <eclipse_> i think its the dns but is on auto
[03:47] <damo22> morrison: what are you trying to do? or what seems to be the issue?
[03:47] <FluxD> eclipse_, I installed the package from the cd
[03:48] <eclipse_> where to get driver cd?
[03:48] <FluxD> eclipse_, its on livecd
[03:48] <maxflax> anyone?
[03:48] <grkblood13> scunizi, i might have a solution
[03:48] <grkblood13> it might work
[03:48] <rww> kthomas_vh_: depending on which version of Epiphany, either "Downloads" in your home folder or nowhere. There's a bug where if you don't set a download location in preferences, Downloads don't actually get downloaded.
[03:48] <kinja-sheep> eclipse_: You could try and install linux-backports-modules-karmic
[03:48] <grkblood13> use ffmpeg to transcode vob to dv
[03:49] <grkblood13> open with kino
[03:49] <damo22> maxflax: check the rc.d bootup scripts
[03:49] <scunizi> grkblood13: viola!
[03:49] <grkblood13> dunno yet
[03:50] <scunizi> grkblood13: I think handbreak is in the repos.. it's a pretty good tool
[03:50] <eclipse_> i have drivers installed all seems fine i just dunno how to config the setup wrks kindad a wierd issue ive been checkin forum but no one else seems to have same issue on there that i found...
[03:50] <morrison> the problem is i have the tv hooked up through s-video and I am trying to play movies on the tv but when i take an application into full screen it expands across both screens
[03:50] <grkblood13> alrady tried handbrake
[03:50] <grkblood13> doesnt work
[03:51] <scunizi> morrison: you need to set the driver to mirror the screens.. I think that can be done with nvidia-settings.
[03:51] <scunizi> grkblood13: :(
[03:51] <morrison> you mean clone the screens
[03:51] <scunizi> morrison: yes
[03:51] <grkblood13> transcoding sucks
[03:51] <grkblood13> so i dont like this option
[03:51] <grkblood13> even if it works
[03:51] <maxflax> damo22 where do I find it?
[03:51] <damo22> maxflax: cd /etc/rc....
[03:52] <damo22> or /etc/init.d/rc...
[03:52] <morrison> that kinda defeats the purpose of having a computer where i can watch movies on one and still do stuff on the computer
[03:52] <kthomas_vh_> fww: thanks,  it was set to "file system" and working...
[03:52] <morrison> that kinda defeats the purpose of having a computer with two screens where i can watch movies on one and still do stuff on the computer
[03:52] <scunizi> morrison: twinview may have other options that will do what you want.. like seperate X screens.
[03:53] <morrison> i will brb
[03:53] <hyperstream> Is there any software solutions to Keep multiple Computers sync in playing music(3 pc's through out the house each hooked up to speakers)
[03:54] <morrison> what was the command to restart x-server
[03:54] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  theres several ways you can do it 2 screens
[03:54] <maxflax> damo22 - I have rc0.d rc1.d up to rc6.d -- but no rc.d
[03:54] <scunizi> morrison: sudo session gdm restart
[03:54] <Dr_Willis> morrison:  i use twniview and drag the video plaer to the 2nd monitor and just maxanize it
[03:54] <damo22> maxflax: they are the ones
[03:54] <ZykoticK9> morrison, scunizi i think it's "sudo service gdm restart" isn't it?
[03:54] <Dr_Willis> ZykoticK9:  is  correct
[03:54] <maxflax> damo22 - why so many
[03:55] <scunizi> ZykoticK9: morrison yep.. sorry.. thinking lots of stuff right now
[03:55] <damo22> maxflax: for different runlevels
[03:55] <Dr_Willis> !runlevels
[03:55] <maxflax> damo22 - which runlevel am i running at default now then?
[03:55] <damo22> maxflax: karmic?
[03:55] <maxflax> damo22 - yes
[03:56] <Dr_Willis> runlevel 2 i think is the default
[03:56] <maxflax> damo22 - entering the command runlevel returns unknown
[03:56] <morrison> now i have nothing on the tv
