[17:07] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock the file is downloading how can i install it in ubuntu  ? just doing double click....?
[17:07] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: please read the risk before messing around...
[17:07] <noolness> i know this is going to sound silly
[17:07] <cornbread> I notice the Sun jdk is no longer available in multiverse in 10.04 and openjdk is recommended.  Why is it recommended, apart from license issues?
[17:07] <sreeju> i have installed glx-dock now, but nothing comes what to do?
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> cornbread:  Its in the partners repository.
[17:07] <noolness> but maybe ubuntu should have a screen that comes up the first time you load it, that has links to the manual, and other important information
[17:08] <sreeju> how can i use it?
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> cornbread:  openjdk seems to work decently well for most people
[17:08] <cornbread> Dr_Willis: I know, but why is openjdk recommended, based on the official ubuntu documentation, apart from license issues?
[17:08] <sreeju> please answer me
[17:08] <noolness> "Welcome to Ubuntu Desktop"
[17:08] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock what kinda messing
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> cornbread:  no idea. Most people dont even notice the change.
[17:08] <joaopinto> cornbread, it's recommend because it's the most complete open source JDK implementation
[17:08] <itsonlym3> not sure if it's just the machine that i'm trying to config, but i've been having probs getting things set up and keep getting intermittent erors: Connection failed [<IP_ADDRESS> 80] :/
[17:08] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: you can ask for support in this #intel-gfx
[17:08] <bastid_raZor> sreeju: look in Applications > Accessories   or in a terminal you have two ways of running it cairo-dock -c (no openGL) or cairo-dock -o (with openGL)
[17:08] <karamorf> on a default ubuntu setup, does output (stdout) from a cron entry get emailed to the user like it does in any other distro by default?
[17:08] <|jonathan|> ok
[17:09] <shtower> sreeju: I want to help....I just have to look up glx-dock
[17:09] <cornbread> joaopinto: so, just license issues.  I was just making sure it wasn't for a technical reason
[17:09] <itsonlym3> i guess i could try setting it up in a VM on this machine to see if have the same prob.
[17:09] <noolness> cornbread, going forward it's probably going to be the version that's best tuned for linux too
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> Sun did such a 'good' job of annying people with their licensing. :)
[17:09] <noolness> i know that sounds like a minor thing, but it does matter
[17:10] <fishbig> hi. i am making a javachat project. does it work? i can't test in work... http://supremosjavachat.tripod.com/
[17:10] <cornbread> yea, it definitely seems like a better direction going forward.  I've just been using sun jdk so far so I just wanted to make sure.  I'll make the switch
[17:10] <oCean_> fishbig: how is this an ubuntu issue?
[17:10] <BigMao> I have a more specific question now: How do I enable indirect rendering?  I am trying to remotely display an OpenGL window.
[17:10] <fishbig> oCean_: i am under ubuntu
[17:10] <GlatorDs> Buenas tardes
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> oCean_:  every time i see someone mention a 'java chat' in this channel its  a malware java type client. so be wary.

[17:11] <jsaw> hi
[17:11] <mikebeecham> hi there, my CD drive spins a disc, but it is never mounted...would this be an issue with the optical drive, or ubuntu?
[17:11] <jsaw> can anybody tell me where to find the m68hc1x-* packages for lucid?
[17:12] <itsonlym3> so no one else is having issues with the repos today?
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> itsonlym3:  not really noticed any issues
[17:12] <scriptwarlock> matteo1990: is the error issue solved?
[17:12] <bastid_raZor> itsonlym3: try switching which repo you use.. System > Adminstration > Software Sources
[17:12] <trojan_spike> could be the optical drive > how old is the drive?
[17:13] <Jobinobi> hi after upgrading from hardy to lucid, firefox repeatedly reports broken bookmarks and no history - and this happens only to NFS users but no local users. anyone has an idea?

[17:14] <Dr_Willis> terry_:  try -> 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get install cabextract'
[17:14] <darksider> I've tried using cdrdao but it tells me ACPI cannot be found - or something like that
[17:15] <Pici> Dr_Willis: That 'error' usually means that cabextract was already installed automatically as a dependency.
[17:15] <fishbig> nobody will check if http://supremosjavachat.tripod.com/ works? :(
[17:15] <itsonlym3> haven't gotten the install finished yet.  i tried changing a few yesterday by hand, but seems to get hung up on security.ubuntu.com
[17:15] <Nijverheid> anybody got experience configuring apache2 on Ubuntu 10.04?
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> darksider:  you may want to check the psx emulator forums. I recall using 'dd' ages and ages ago.. but theres proberly better tools
[17:15] <darksider> fishbig, im trying it now
[17:16] <darksider> thanks Dr_Willis
[17:16] <terry_> Now how to install IEs 4 Linux ?
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> darksider:  be warey of any 'java irc clients' people suggest you to use. tjhey can  be spam-bot networks

[17:20] <BigMao> Hi there, is there a difference between GDM and the X server?
[17:20] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: why dont you have inet?
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  GDM handles the login. its running on top of X.
[17:20] <visvanath> Can anyone help withmy xorg.conff
[17:20] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, I want to restart the X server on a remote machine since I edited the xorg.conf.  (Specifically, I need to turn off direct rendering)
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  so  they are radically different things.
[17:20] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, that's also what I thought, thanks.. Do you know how to restart the X server?
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  'sudo service gdm restart'  should restart X
[17:21] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, thanks. :)
[17:21] <visvanath> Dr_Willis: do you know how to move a created xorg.conf and make ubuntu work that.
[17:21] <|jonathan|> schestowitz u mean internet?
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> visvanath:  copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and restart X..
[17:21] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: internet connection
[17:22] <Pici> scriptwarlock: Do you have a moment for a pm?
[17:22] <scriptwarlock> Pici: sure
[17:22] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock becoz im using a usb modem and i cannot configure it :D..
[17:22] <visvanath> Pici: how do i make a generated xorg.conf to work ?
[17:22] <weezelding> seems like some update have broke mp3 support. anyone suffered from the same problem?
[17:22] <|jonathan|> from yesterday im trying to solve the problem but no one can help me they just say call ur vandor....
[17:22] <scriptwarlock> Pici: go ahead boss
[17:23] <visvanath> Pici: I am sorry if my question is simple but i am only an total beginner :(
[17:23] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, "service gdm restart" seems to have restarted GDM, I don't know if it restarted X.. My problem still remains, it's still doing direct rendering
[17:23] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: model of your usb modem
[17:23] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, do you know how to turn off direct rendering?  I'm trying to run a program remotely that opens an OpenGL window
[17:23] <sno> visvanath: it knows to use the file if you save it in /etc/X11/ as xorg.conf then restart X/your display manager.
[17:23] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock how can i know the usb modem model can u tell me?
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  do ' sudo service gdm stop       ' and  X should stop. :)
[17:23] <|jonathan|> no model written there
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  never noticed or needed to.
[17:24] <visvanath> sno you mean i have to move it and then restart or logout/login ?
[17:24] <|jonathan|> its vodafone usb edge modem . qualcom modem is also written there
[17:24] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, I can still open X windows even after "sudo service gdm stop"
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> visvanath:  copy it to proper place. then use 'sudo service gdm restart' Tat will force you to log out.
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  Hmm. somthing is odd there.. that should log you out back to the GDm login screen
[17:25] <sno> visvanath: login/out is fine, but if your X is already running/working im not sure what the point of creating an xorg.conf is
[17:25] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, I'm logging into the machine remotely.  I can't see its desktop
[17:25] <matteo1990> i am having problems with gnome, windows are pretty ugly and if i choose a background image it selects automatically a solid color... How to fix it?
[17:25] <Pici> visvanath: sudo Xorg -configure     should create an xorg.conf
[17:25] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock if u wanna see something about my dial up trial u i can show u
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:   so  err.. what does this have to do with xorg.conf then?
[17:25] <sipior> BigMao: you edited the X configuration file on your *local* machine, right?
[17:25] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: use pastebin if you want
[17:26] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock i hava a tutorial i tried that way....
[17:26] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: link
[17:26] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, my problem is that the OpenGL windows are rendering on the remote machine, whereas I need them to render on the local machine.  I'm not sure if this can be accomplished by editing xorg.conf
[17:26] <BigMao> The remote machine has no graphics card, my local machine does
[17:26] <|jonathan|> yeah link
[17:26] <BigMao> but I am running the program on the remote machine
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  you did 'ssh -X remotebox'  ?
[17:27] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, I did "ssh -Y remotebox"
[17:27] <oCean_> !afk > ttl_afk
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  i dont think xorg.conf has any thing to do with that.. I wonder what would happen if  you just shut down gdm, on the remote box. :) then there would be no display fior it to go to.
[17:27] <talfeo> Can anyone help me with pc to pc networking between an xp box and Ubuntu? They are connected via cross cable.
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  what program is this anyway>?
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> talfeo:  setup static ip's or a dhcp server. seeif they can ping each other by ip.. if so . they are networked.
[17:28] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, when I type in "glxgears -info", the first line is: GL_RENDERER   = Mesa X11.  What I would like it to say is: GL_RENDERER   = GeForce 9500 GT/PCI/SSE2 (the gfx card on my local box .. it isn't on the remote box)
[17:29] <BigMao> I know for sure that this works, because I get the latter output on an older machine, which also doesn't have a gfx card
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> BigMao:  one normally dosent run  programs that use 3d graphics over the network like that.
[17:29] <visvanath> sno I editted and paste dmy xorg.conf onto /etc/x11
[17:29] <julgutierrez> what is a good and secure alternative to openvpn
[17:29] <BigMao> Dr_Willis, I know, but for my application, that's what I'd like to do
[17:29] <talfeo> Dr Wllis, I tried that but the network card wont light up?  Funny thing though, when i swap out iether one of the pc's with another, they nic lights up.  ny thoughts?
[17:29] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: wheres the link?
[17:29] <pittstains> hello... there's a command you can use to bring up the menu you get when you're installing a new server... the one that asks if you're installing a LAMP or a mail server or what.
[17:29] <BigMao> If I type in glxinfo, it will say "direct rendering: Yes", but I want to change it to "No"
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> talfeo:  gigabit nic's are supposed to auto-negoiate and not need a 'crossover' cable. non-gb cards will need one. or a router/hub/switch.
[17:30] <pittstains> anyone give me the name of that command please.  can't think of it
[17:30] <erUSUL> pittstains: sudo tasksel ?
[17:30] <pittstains> yes
[17:30] <pittstains> thank you
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> talfeo:  or at least thats how it used to be
[17:30] <airtonix> pittstains, sudo tasksel --list-task
[17:31] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock u there?
[17:31] <airtonix> pittstains, sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[17:31] <pittstains> got it, everyone.  thank you!
[17:31] <CrazyWoods> why there are three pidgin on my system http://paste.pocoo.org/show/237069/
[17:31] <airtonix> pittstains, let me know if you find it, but i dont think tasksel lets you install nfs server....
[17:31] <woessner> hey
[17:31] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock check it http://neeocis.wordpress.com/2010/05/26/ubuntu-grameenphones-internet-with-mobidata-edge-modem-in-ubuntu-9-10/
[17:32] <Aamir__> hey
[17:32] <trojan_spike> whats tasksel for?
[17:32] <airtonix> pittstains, i just use sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server
[17:32] <airtonix> trojan_spike, shortcut for typing out list of package names
[17:32] <pittstains> airtonix: not sure where you read nfs in my message, but i just wanted to get back to that menu
[17:32] <woessner> I have the ubuntu netbook remix installed using ubuntu 10.04 but the netbook-launcher constantly takes 30 percent cpu with my intel atom netbook. is this normal?
[17:32] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock i did it that way it says no response from the modem
[17:32] <airtonix> pittstains, because real men transfer files by carrier pidgeon

[17:38] <blackxored> duffydack, neither both of them connect, with or without ssl / old ssl / ignore ssl errors / encryption required
[17:38] <blackxored> don't connect
[17:39] <airtonix> Aamir__, that theme is a bad approximation of macosx theme
[17:39] <blackxored> my phone does
[17:39] <blackxored> pidgin/empathy/gajim doesn't, why's that
[17:39] <Aamir__> which mac theme do i get?
[17:39] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: connect your usb modem then lsusb
[17:39] <Aamir__> reccomend me one please
[17:39] <airtonix> Aamir__, the secret is to let that obsession go.
[17:39] <Aamir__> damn lol
[17:39] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: use pastebin
[17:40] <talfeo> Trying to setup internet sharing between and xp pc and ubuntu pc, but the nic card do not light up.  However, when i swap out iether on of the pcs with another the nic lights up and sharing is available.  Any suggestions as two why the nic with these two pc's will not respond?

[17:40] <airtonix> (even if it does use evil mono.net)
[17:40] <blackxored> duffydack, can you tell me which server is connecting to?
[17:40] <xepra> what is a good 3d cad program for machining and more real world applications?  Blender keeps coming up, but that seems like it is more appropriate for gaming and art and such.  Can Blender put draft style measurements and dimensions on figures?
[17:40] <blackxored> duffydack, i use talk.google.com 5222
[17:41] <duffydack> blackxored, same here
[17:41] <Aamir__> airtonix the thing is im a first time user so i need help with themes

[17:42] <cellofellow> Grayhane: if you want to search your history, try history | grep searchterm or C-r.
[17:42] <airtonix> Aamir__, "themes" fall into three general categories : Window Frames, GUI widget controls, & Icons.
[17:42] <blackxored> duffydack, don't believe that, phone after the same firewall
[17:42] <Vigo> xepra: I do like Blender, I also use and have liked many of the Paul Lutus ones, they are Java or PPL.
[17:42] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock dude im chating with u from windows and i have ubuntu in another pc
[17:42] <|jonathan|> so...
[17:42] <blackxored> duffydack, works, my machine has allowed outbound traffic, all of this
[17:42] <duffydack> blackxored, plain ssl
[17:42] <airtonix> Aamir__, window and gui control themes are generally packaged as one "item"... they go in the folder :  ~/.themes
[17:43] <nkei0> heya everyone
[17:43] <duffydack> blackxored, can you login with the account on the web?
[17:43] <airtonix> Aamir__, Icons... go in the folder ~/.icons
[17:43] <blackxored> duffydack, i believe so
[17:43] <Spaztic_One> Icons in the top panel (network connection, battery status, volume, etc) get jumbled around from one bootup to the next and occasionally one will be half covered by another. How can I grant more stability to them?
[17:43] <blackxored> duffydack, re-checking
[17:43] <torrenter1990> Hi all, i am having problems with gnome, after an update when i log in with an user i get stucked on a blanck screen. With another i can log in but i can't set any background image, it choose only solid color instead. Also window are strange, uglier in the same way of low graphic mode, how to fix?
[17:43] <airtonix> Aamir__, when i say the ~/.blah folder... the ~ in there is a shortcut to your home folder
[17:43] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: ok just tell me the id of your usb modem
[17:43] <duffydack> blackxored, enable debug window in pidgin while its connecting might give you an idea.
[17:44] <ffredde> i'm trying to install Spotify, but it won't work. It says I need gconf2 >=2.28.1-2. Anyone knows where i can get it ?
[17:44] <nkei0> I have a small question, has anyone's internet gone down while upgrading to a newer release?  Mine did and it appears to be stuck at file 295, if I cancel, it shouldn't destroy anything, right?
[17:44] <Aamir__> oh ok
[17:44] <airtonix> Aamir__, and a folder or a file name that has a full stop in front of it is hidden by default from normal folder views
[17:44] <blackxored> duffydack, yes man i'm doing that since ages
[17:44] <dr3mro> please how to install the maverick meerkat golbal menu in 10.04
[17:44] <blackxored> it justs hangs on this
[17:44] <|jonathan|> how can i find the hardware id scriptwarlock
[17:45] <blackxored> duffydack, http://pastebin.com/aiTkYbWH
[17:45] <airtonix> Aamir__, if you try to open those two folders i mentioned... you will more than likely find that they do not exist by default... just create them and then open them up after having pressed ctrl + h in your file manager.
[17:45] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock do u want device instance id?
[17:45] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: ok forget it can you point me what is yours here http://www.vodafone.in/existingusers/vbs/pages/dataaccess.aspx
[17:45] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock okk dude hold a sec
[17:45] <iflema> dr3mro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationMenu
[17:45] <duffydack> blackxored, 'notebook'  is that what you set as resource or home
[17:45] <Aamir__> how do i intsall this?
[17:45] <Aamir__> apt:avant-window-navigator
[17:45] <airtonix> Aamir__, then you take your downloaded theme or icon archive file (tar.gz, zip, rar, 7zip, etc) and extract it into the relevant folder
[17:46] <airtonix> Aamir__, just use the software center
[17:46] <airtonix> Aamir__, using apt: urls in ubuntu only works in firefox
[17:46] <Aamir__> please tell me
[17:46] <Aamir__> apt:avant-window-navigator
[17:46] <blackxored> duffydack, yes i have resources notebook, desktop, and android, doesn't matter i believe
[17:46] <Aamir__> ok thanks
[17:47] <Spaztic_One> Icons in the top panel (network connection, battery status, volume, etc) get jumbled around from one bootup to the next and occasionally one will be half covered by another. How can I grant more consistency to them?
[17:47] <airtonix> Aamir__, all it does is make software center install that package
[17:47] <Aamir__> what application do i use to open that link
[17:47] <duffydack> blackxored, there is a debug window for empathy too, try that.. i`ll have a look at mine while connecting.
[17:47] <airtonix> Aamir__, read up ^
[17:47] <airtonix> Aamir__, using apt: urls in ubuntu only works in firefox
[17:47] <duffydack> blackxored, well try without any resource.
[17:47] <Vigo> Aamir_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware
[17:47] <scriptwarlock> Spaztic_One: are they all locked in the panel?
[17:47] <Aamir__> yh thats  what i opend in firefox
[17:47] <Spaztic_One> scriptwarlock: Yes, they are.
[17:47] <Aamir__> but then it asks me to chose an app
[17:47] <xim_> is it possible to change the system sounds in ubuntu?
[17:47] <blackxored> duffydack, the empathy one has a dbus problem on my system, says can't connect to remote debugger, odd
[17:48] <blackxored> xim_, System -> Preferences -> Sound
[17:48] <scriptwarlock> Spaztic_One: does this hapen during startups?
[17:48] <airtonix> Aamir__, click applications  > software center : then search for avant
[17:48] <barfster> I am now logging in for the first time to a newly installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Compaq Armada M700, is ubuntu desktop heavy stuff? I mean it takes forever to launch the indent screen, and also the desktop after authenticating.
[17:48] <xim_> blackxored,  ah thanks
[17:48] <Aamir__> listen i want 0.4.0 not the 0.3x version
[17:49] <Aamir__> and the 0.4.0 is not in the software centre
[17:49] <airtonix> Aamir__, we already told you what to research
[17:49] <Aamir__> what was that?
[17:49] <sno> barfster: thats a p2 based system? you might be better using xfce instead of gnome, or an older release of ubuntu.
[17:49] <airtonix> Aamir__, ppa ?
[17:49] <Spaztic_One> scriptwarlock: Yes, things remain the same when resuming from a suspended state or sleep, but when booting up they may change.
[17:49] <blackxored> barfster, you certainly need lubuntu or xubuntu, or debian
[17:50] <scriptwarlock> Spaztic_One: lucid?
[17:50] <xepra> Vigo, with Blender can I do something like create a box, say 12"x11.5"x4" and have it with the dimensions labeled from a bunch of different perspectives?
[17:50] <Aamir__> ok thanks for the info
[17:50] <Spaztic_One> scriptwarlock: Yes
[17:50] <xim_> it still seems like, it only lets you set one sound?  the "alert" sound, what sound is that? also I cant really customize it, its a just a preset list of radio boxes with no previews or ability to browse for files...?
[17:50] <erUSUL> xepra: ufortunately the state of free CAD/CAM in linux is best described as non-state
[17:51] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock http://www.cellbazaar.com/web/item-details/title/Vodafone-EDGE.aspx?id=0f4b4dd0-0c27-46b8-9137-b54640043d2a this one
[17:51] <blackxored> xim_, then you might want to either install a sound theme, or create a custom one, or get an app that does that for you ;)
[17:52] <Vigo> xepra: Certainly, it may take a few lines of code to be pulled from the repos, the vanilla Blender is just that. I merged some Piko , GIMP and others into the Blender and got it to run like a BeOS  or better program.
[17:52] <xim_> blackxored, so just to be clear as the os comes by default, you cannot directly manipulate the system sounds?  you have to package them in themes or download apps for it?
[17:53] <xim_> thanks
[17:53] <duffydack> blackxored, <stream:stream version="1.0" xmlns="jabber:client" xmlns:stream="http://etherx.jabber.org/streams" to="gmail.com" thats mine
[17:53] <blackxored> xim_, you can but i wouldn't recommend that to you, there are on /usr/share/sounds
[17:53] <Spaztic_One> blackxored: What is an application that does that? I have been kind of curious about customizations such as that and the boot splash screen, but I haven't really looked into it.
[17:53] <blackxored> duffydack, no reply after that
[17:53] <blackxored> blackxored, :(
[17:53] <blackxored> after ages, a server closed connection
[17:53] <xepra> Vigo, sorry I didn't quite understand your response...  So vanilla Blender won't be able to, but with tweaking (and perhaps compiling) it will?
[17:54] <Vigo> xepra: Exactly.
[17:54] <duffydack> blackxored, i dunno dude, I use empathy from main repo in lucid and setup simple connection in google talk
[17:54] <|jonathan|> hey scriptwarlock
[17:55] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock its exactlly look like this http://www.webshopbd.com/auction_details.php?name=VODAFONE-USB-EDGE-Modem-with-1-year-warranty-&auction_id=104200
[17:55] <xepra> Vigo, great thanks for the info :)  Do you know of any that will do what I am looking for out of the box?  I really want something pretty simple, it seems that Blender has way too many features
[17:55] <snowrichard> i just moved my computer and hooked up the lcd flat screen instead of the crt
[17:55] <BigMao> Hi there, why is it that when I type in "ps ax" on my server, there is no "X" or "Xorg" program running, yet I can still make x-windows?
[17:55] <blackxored> xim_, you could more safely mess with ~/.local/share/sounds i believe
[17:55] <Cube``> whats the command to do a CHECKDISK on ubuntu?
[17:55] <blackxored> duffydack, updating pidgin, back to you, i have experienced this issues from time to time
[17:55] <Aamir__> this is driving me crazy
[17:55] <nirn_> Cube``: fsck
[17:55] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: yes i got it
[17:55] <Cube``> nirn_: thanks!
[17:56] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock its model number is MD950
[17:56] <MAMetalGeek_Noob> Hi James20 you about?
[17:56] <Cube``> nirn_: but how do i use it?
[17:56] <|jonathan|> :)
[17:56] <tucemiux> BigMao, try ps aux and "top"
[17:56] <duffydack> !fsck | Cube``
[17:56] <Vigo> xepra: Besides grazing at the FSF directory, you could look at the openBSD, Debian /directories for that.
[17:56] <BigMao> tucemiux, I already tried the first one.  For "top", I don't know how to filter the processes by name
[17:56] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock and im using gp internet which doenst need any pass or username and its apn is gpinternet
[17:56] <researcher1> Mozilla browser sometimes closes suddenly and mouse slows down. I need  guidance
[17:56] <|jonathan|> thats all
[17:56] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: right clik the network icon and edit conection
[17:57] <kholzer> My monitor turns off (for power saving) and does not turn on again.  I am using an Intel Q965 onboard card; I've seen a bug report from 2007 and another from 2010 that seem to match my symptoms.  Can anyone give me any advice on how to prevent this from happening? I'd be perfectly happy having the monitor always on; the current setup is causing me to loose work (I'll step away from the computer with Eclipse open...and come back and not be able to save and
[17:57] <kholzer>  close properly).
[17:57] <Cube``> thx
[17:57] <kholzer> (The bug report mentioned was for Xorg)
[17:57] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock can u gimme a txt so that i can take ur text to that computer and practice
[17:58] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock gimme a tutorial in a pastebin or anywhere that will b beter
[17:58] <|jonathan|> better*
[17:58] <xepra> Vigo, alright, thanks.
[17:58] <BigMao> tucemiux, perhaps I don't understand how this works.  Does there have to be a process running on the server for me to be able to open up xwindows?
[17:58] <tucemiux> BigMao, use "top", look at the output then ask more questions
[17:58] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: mind if i can pm you this is a bit long session for you
[17:58] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock no problem dude i can do anything
[17:59] <Vigo> xepra: You are quite welcome, I hope that the input assist you.
[17:59] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: anyway well post here how you did the connectio with usb and ubuntu successfuly
[17:59] <xim_> blackxored, hmm ok, its suprising as many versions as ubuntu has gone through, as many simple simple settings menu apps as it comes with, it doesnt allow you to do something so basic as change the pointers to sound files for the system events
[17:59] <RayzrShrp> anybody know why when i run aptitude from a terminal there are all kinds of weird characters in there
[17:59] <BigMao> tucemiux, there are lots of processes running in top.  There are more than the screen can display .. how do I look for a specific entry?
[17:59] <tucemiux> BigMao, if you can log in locally to your server, as in physically log in and you see a GUI environment then you must have an x server running
[18:00] <tucemiux> BigMao, if you have Xorg running then you must have an xserver running on your server, if you dont want any GUI then try ubuntu-server
[18:00] <J4ckst3r> Hi,
[18:01] <highlighter> Hi!  Could anyone offer some tips on troubleshooting a slow server?
[18:01] <kholzer> highlighter, give more details
[18:01] <BigMao> tucemiux, thanks for the help so far, but it's not that I don't want a GUI.  I just want to disable "direct rendering" in glx, because I am running some programs on the server that have OpenGL windows
[18:01] <Mortiis> ptnet.org
[18:01] <J4ckst3r> hilighter, are you willing to spend any money?
[18:01] <Spaztic_One> scriptwarlock: You still with me, or are you at a loss?
[18:01] <highlighter> kholzer: it's a hypothetical question... prepping for an interview
[18:01] <RayzrShrp> anybody know why when i run aptitude from a terminal there are all kinds of weird characters in there
[18:02] <RayzrShrp> i disabled utf-8 but they still seem to be there
[18:02] <BigMao> I don't know what settings to change to disable direct rendering.  But now that I think about it, it shouldn't have anything to do with the X server on the server
[18:02] <kholzer> highlighter, I can't help much with that :/
[18:02] <scriptwarlock> Spaztic_One: sorry can you hold on i got jonathan for his usb modem to work in ubuntu
[18:02] <Aamir__> airtonix
[18:02] <Aamir__> what do i do with this?
[18:02] <Aamir__> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/05/new-experimental-awn-build-is-beautiful.html
[18:03] <highlighter> well then... what are some things that slow a server down?  If there is too much network traffic, what can be done?
[18:03] <kris__> Hello everyone, I was just wondering how I would go about backing up a folder every hour into 12 folders, 1 for each hour?
[18:03] <Spaztic_One> scriptwarlock: Yeah, no problem. Just let me know when you are ready.
[18:03] <LjL> !crontab > kris__    (kris__, see the private message from ubottu)
[18:03] <scriptwarlock> Spaztic_One: for the meantime shout your concerns many are waiting to help
[18:03] <airtonix> Aamir__, i find reading the page slowly and with paitence works
[18:04] <J4ckst3r> What should I format my partition to, ext3,2 etc?
[18:04] <tucemiux> BigMao, I guess it has to do with your video drivers, if you ask the question correctly and someone has experience with the hardware that you have you **might** get your answer
[18:04] <Spaztic_One> Icons in the top panel (network connection, battery status, volume, etc) get jumbled around from one bootup to the next and occasionally one will be half covered by another. How can I grant more consistency to them? Running Lucid.
[18:04] <Aamir__> airtonix
[18:04] <airtonix> Aamir__,
[18:04] <tucemiux> J4ckst3r, ext4 unless you want windows to write on the partition, then use ext3
[18:04] <Aamir__> i installed awn
[18:04] <Aamir__> but when i install the default theme they gave me the dock doesnt change
[18:04] <J4ckst3r> ok, because I'm overwriting windows
[18:04] <Aamir__> why is that?
[18:05] <xim_> i mean, doesnt changing system event sound pointers seem like a very basic OS function that should be supported by included menus?
[18:05] <tucemiux> J4ckst3r, if you have free space in your hard drive you dont have to overwrite windows
[18:05] <J4ckst3r> I want to.
[18:06] <BigMao> tucemiux, thanks for the help.  I think I'll give up for now
[18:06] <KrisDouglas> Thanks LjL, is how would I go about transferring each file to a folder?
[18:06] <RayzrShrp> anybody know why aptitude menus are showing weird ascii instead of nice clean lines?
[18:06] <LjL> KrisDouglas: something like "cp -a /source/folder /dest/folder"
[18:06] <orschiro> hello guys, with super+w I get an overview of all maximised windows. But I don't see the minimated ones. is there any shortkey to view them all?
[18:07] <Guest82652> Hi, can someone name a wireless WiFi PCI or USB card works out-of-the-box in Ubuntu?
[18:07] <KrisDouglas> Ok thanks, LJL, i will have a look into getting the time appended to the foldername or something
[18:07] <MFen> i have all sorts of problems with the panel "disk mounter" widget. i can never get the darn thing to appear
[18:07] <MFen> anyone have troubleshooting tips for that?
[18:07] <LjL> KrisDouglas: just specify it manually. make 24 separate entries in the crontab, each for a separate hour.
[18:07] <MFen> occasionally when i actually mount one of the disks, the widget will show up (sometimes several, because i keep adding them, because they don't appear)
[18:08] <MFen> but i can't just make the widget appear with icons for the disks available to be mounted
[18:08] <RayzrShrp> anybody even see my text?
[18:08] <tucemiux> MFen, you constalty add and remove hard drives ??
[18:08] <tucemiux> RayzrShrp, no
[18:08] <MFen> not drives. the widget
[18:08] <KrisDouglas> aaaaah awesome idea, thank you LjL
[18:08] <RayzrShrp> is this just a utf-8 issue with aptitude?
[18:08] <MFen> although i do frequently plug in and unplug external drives
[18:09] <MFen> not to mention my windows drive, which i frequently need access to
[18:09] <RayzrShrp> when you guys run aptitude you get the blue border and clean menu lines right?
[18:09] <tucemiux> RayzrShrp, someone might help you if you post your question all in one line, if you get no answer wait a few minutes and ask again
[18:09] <Spaztic_One> Icons in the top panel (network connection, battery status, volume, etc) get jumbled around from one bootup to the next and occasionally one will be half covered by another. How can I grant more consistency to them? Running Lucid.
[18:09] <MFen> so, the widget is very important to my lifestyle :) but it's also very buggy. i don't know how to make it stay visible
[18:10] <Guest82652> Can someone name a wireless WiFi PCI or USB card works out-of-the-box in Ubuntu?
[18:10] <james20> Belkin 54g ADB USB Modems
[18:10] <RayzrShrp> When I run aptitude there are strange ascii characters along the right side of the description section and when i hit q to quit the menu is all ascci characters instead of the line characters. Anybody know how to fix that
[18:10] <Guest82652> Okay, thanks James!
[18:10] <tucemiux> Spaztic_One, lock your icons to the panel, that way they wont be moved
[18:11] <Spaztic_One> tucemiux: They are locked.
[18:11] <beto-bc10> i found apt-get moo...jeje funny
[18:11] <tucemiux> Spaztic_One, are you using compiz?
[18:12] <Spaztic_One> tucemiux: Yes
[18:13] <matteo1990> i am having problems with gnome, windows are pretty ugly and if i choose a background image it selects automatically a solid color... How to fix it?
[18:13] <blain> matteo1990 try using kde
[18:13] <tucemiux> Spaztic_One, i dont use compiz sorry, it brakes my gaming, you can try disabling compiz or moving the notification area in your panel all the way to the left-most part on your the right corner of your panel, basically you want the notification are to be the first icon then whatever you want, like the volume or date
[18:14] <sebsebseb> HI
[18:14] <blain> matteo1990 sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[18:14] <tucemiux> matteo1990, have you tried changing the desktop background?
[18:15] <tucemiux> !manual
[18:15] <ripps> Can someone here explain how to setup postfix, I'm trying to use reportbug, but I keep getting connection timed out when I try to sendmail to anyone
[18:15] <matteo1990> tucemiux, yes and i get a solid color instead with the main colors of the background image that i choosed O.o
[18:15] <J4ckst3r|P> Hurray for Ubuntu >_<
[18:16] <Whitor> Hi all. I'm on Ubuntu 10.04. I ping server2.mydomain.local and I get Unknown host server2.mydomain.local.  If I nslookup server2.mydomain.local it resolves just fine.  If i ping the IP directly, it works fine. If I ping the name, I still get Unknown host. Any ideas ?
[18:16] <Spaztic_One> tucemiux: The notification icons are on the left of the date and etc. I suppose it may just be compiz messing things up, i've heard that it can cause issues. Would I need to reset any options that were changed in it?
[18:17] <kholzer> My monitor turns off (for power saving) and does not turn on again.  I am using an Intel Q965 onboard card; I've seen a bug report from 2007 and another from 2010 that seem to match my symptoms.  Can anyone give me any advice on how to prevent this from happening? I'd be perfectly happy having the monitor always on; the current setup is causing me to loose work.
[18:18] <tucemiux> Spaztic_One, i dont use compiz, sorry -- I would disable compiz, if you want a fix you will have to ask again and hopefully someone that has an answer will help you, you can also try the forum
[18:18] <tucemiux> kholzer, go to "screensaver" app then "power management"
[18:19] <gfather> guys how can i have 2.6.34 kernel ?
[18:19] <Spaztic_One> tucemiux: Yes, I will try disabling compiz, but I need to know if I need to reset options that were changed with it before I disable it or not
[18:19] <blain> activate the updates repository
[18:19] <matteo1990> blain, i want to stay gnome for the moment
[18:20] <blain> ok matteo1990 sorry to hear that
[18:20] <J4ckst3r> ooo! I've spotted a grammar mistake in the installer!
[18:21] <blain> -.-'
[18:21]  * Ex-Opesa is shocked
[18:21] <J4ckst3r> >_<
[18:21] <slinker1> ooh i spooted a spelling mistake in your nam :)
[18:21] <slinker1> *spotted hehe
[18:22] <J4ckst3r> ...
[18:22] <slinker1> sorry couldn't resist
[18:22] <Guest82652> Will WiFi cards that are supported today work with future kernel updates within the next few years?
[18:22] <J4ckst3r> The 1337?
[18:22] <slinker1> yup
[18:23] <aj00200> Is there a program to take only the audio track of a mpg file?
[18:23] <MFen> i have seriously encountered this problem with the disk mounter applet in every version of ubuntu.  i must be doing something wrong, sometimes it goes away on its own and i never have problems again. what is it?
[18:24] <MFen> why doesn't it appear?
[18:24] <J4ckst3r> ooer
[18:25] <slinker1> aj00200: avidemux will do that i think i have done it the other way araond
[18:26] <aj00200> slinker1: Ok, I take a look at it, would I need to convert to an avi first?
[18:26] <Birdman3131> I am reinstalling 7 on my 7/ubuntu dual boot. What do I need to do to reinstall grub after windows wipes the bootloader?
[18:27] <slinker1> aj00200:  no it handlesmpg's too

[18:27] <slinker1> np :)
[18:27] <pgpkeys> how the hell do I tell dpkg NOT to run the triggers for a package? ninja is broken and refuses to delete when I run dpkg --purge ninja because the pre-removal trigger has a goof where it refuses to remove if its not running alraedy, and if it IS running it fails because Stopping ninja: invoke-rc.d: initscript ninja, action "stop" failed.
[18:28] <slinker1> i would think -no-deps
[18:28] <Strav> Hi. Any thoughts on how could I mount an external usb drive to a FIXED location? My problem is that even when specifying udev/hal rules, the drive gets mounted in /media/ under a specific label (say: "label") but if I disconnect the drive and reconnect it, the "label" folder often remains so it seems hal is creating another free folder namely something like "label-1" or "label__". This behavior might be good for some reason but I'm
[18:28] <Strav> always obligated to redefine the drive location in each of my application that needs it. I also tried specify a fixed mount point in fstab while everything looked fine in a normal session, on boot, if the drive is not present, I get an annoying error message. Any suggestions?
[18:29] <opc_0de> Hi everyone, Can someone please tell me how to get the "last command executed, in a shell script"?

[18:30] <Strav> opc_0de: read the last line of your bash history?
[18:30] <opc_0de> history doesn't seem to work within a shell script

[18:30] <ShadeS> whoops
[18:30] <dheerosaur> How can I find out the terminal command for any application?
[18:30] <ShadeS> I reinstalled windows here
[18:30] <ShadeS> grub got over written
[18:30] <blain> ShadeS oh no :(
[18:30] <ShadeS> I hate fixing mbr things
[18:30] <J4ckst3r> :O
[18:30] <Birdman3131> I am reinstalling 7 on my 7/ubuntu dual boot. What do I need to do to reinstall grub after windows wipes the bootloader?
[18:31] <ShadeS> well i'm sure the partition is still 'there'
[18:31] <dheerosaur> How can I find out the terminal command for any application?
[18:31] <ShadeS> I cant' afford to reboot at this time though
[18:31] <coz_> Birdman3131,  I believe if you go to the #grub channel the how to is listed in the topic
[18:31] <Birdman3131> Thanks.
[18:31] <blain> !mbr
[18:31] <coz_> Birdman3131,  if not  they can link you to it :)
[18:31] <J4ckst3r> bioooo
[18:31] <pgpkeys> christ, every time dpkg tries to remove the package the pre-removal trigger spawns a NEW ninja
[18:31] <J4ckst3r> wth
[18:31] <J4ckst3r> ooo*
[18:31] <monkey_dust> is there a virtualbox specific channel?
[18:32] <ZykoticK9> monkey_dust, #vbox
[18:32] <Randolph> bye
[18:32] <pgpkeys> reports that stop fails, and then spawns a NEW ninja
[18:32] <J4ckst3r> 93% installing ubuntu hurray!
[18:32] <james20> monkey_dust have you tried "man virtualbox" or "man virtualbox-ose"
[18:32] <opc_0de> Strav: But AFAIK commands are not appended to ~/.bash_history right away, Only one you terminate a shell session all the commands are appended to the file
[18:33] <opc_0de> Strav: and history command doesn't seem to work in script either.
[18:33] <J4ckst3r> 95% :D
[18:34] <oCean_> J4ckst3r: can you stop entering random lines in the channel please?
[18:34] <J4ckst3r> ok?
[18:35] <hypn0> J4ckst3r, do it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:35] <J4ckst3r> I see
[18:35] <Strav> opc_0de: then I don't know how ;) I guess you're already checking bash documentation and that's where I would look too.
[18:35] <slinker1> monkey_dust: probably your location should be more like  /home/you/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/whatever.vdi
[18:36] <Ronak> Hi guys! Can someone please tell me the big differences between Ubuntu and Debian? I've got a book about Debian and I'm asking myself if reading it could also help me with Ubuntu.
[18:36] <opc_0de> Strav: yeah will try my luck . tks for the help.. :)
[18:37] <sebsebseb> Ronak: Ubuntu is based on Debian
[18:37] <pgpkeys> you can even use the debian repositories with ubuntu if you so chose
[18:37] <erUSUL> Ronak: it will definetively help
[18:37] <sebsebseb> !debian | Ronak pgpkeys
[18:37] <erUSUL> pgpkeys: that's not recomanded at all
[18:38] <Ronak> sebsebseb: I know that Ubuntu is based on Debian, but I just don't know the differences
[18:38] <mbeierl> sorry ... can't seem to find the fix offhand - anyone know how to fix the extremely low resolution problem for ttys in lucid when using nvidia drivers?
[18:38] <Strav> Ronak: the big difference between the two lies mostly in some patches here and there that the ubuntu devs fail to upstream to Debian, and that Debian stable moves slower than ubuntu. As for the structures, commands, etc. it's pretty much the same.
[18:39] <Hund> Im having trouble getting the function "dir-listing.external-css" to work in lighttpd. Would appreciate some help with it.
[18:39] <dheerosaur> I am trying to create a keyboard shortcut to open System>Preference>Keyboard Shortcuts. But, while creating keyboard shortcut, we need to enter the command for it. Can anybody tell me how I can find out the command for any existing application?
[18:39] <oCean_> Hund: maybe ask in #lighttpd ?
[18:39] <erUSUL> dheerosaur: open the menu editor ?
[18:40] <sebsebseb> Ronak: uhmm
[18:40] <sebsebseb> Ronak: Debian is basically  Ubuntu, but without a load of Ubuntu features that I don't like :D
[18:40] <Hund> oCean_: Never thought of that. :P doh
[18:40] <erUSUL> dheerosaur: i did gnome-key<tab> ---> gnome-keybinding-properties
[18:40] <Strav> dheerosaur: look in /usr/bin/ and check if there's anything that looks like the name of your application.
[18:40] <slinker1> sebsebseb: :)
[18:40] <dheerosaur> erUSUL: I want to create a keyboard shortcut for some X application. How do I find the terminal command for it?
[18:41] <erUSUL> dheerosaur: as i said... use the menu editor to llok it up
[18:41] <erUSUL> dheerosaur: as i said... use the menu editor to look it up
[18:41] <erUSUL> dheerosaur: right click on the menu choose edit
[18:41] <dheerosaur> dheerosaur: Thank you
[18:41] <Ronak> sebsebseb: :)
[18:41] <sebsebseb> Ronak: Ubuntu gets based on Debian testing, which keeps on getting updated.  and then eventaully that becomes Debian Stable, and they work on the next Debian.  Trying Debian out as well, is a good idea.  Virtual machine is one way to do it, but  Live CD or proper install for a much more proper expereince.  Anyway saying the differences between distros in here, is a bit off topic,  I would actsaully suggest ##linux for this, since its a general
[18:41] <sebsebseb> Linux distro channel.
[18:41] <dheerosaur> erUSUL: Thank you
[18:42] <erUSUL> dheerosaur: no problem
[18:42] <streamex> Hi guys
[18:42] <Strav> any thoughts on how could I set an fstab entry to be skipped on boot?
[18:42] <blain> Strav comment?
[18:42] <kryptos> i am using lucid. some keys on my keyboard are not working . is there any way to troubleshoot ? please help
[18:43] <streamex> Does anyone has a LAN connection between Ubuntu and WinXP?
[18:43] <blain> sure
[18:43] <slinker1> yep
[18:44] <Strav> blain: nah I want it to remain available to specify a fixed location upon automounting an external usb drive. (udev/hal just won't get me a fixed label of the drive as they keep incremeting the name on disconnect/reconnect)
[18:44] <shtower> Does anyone know where java files are installed to by default in Ubuntu?
[18:44] <rossjolliffe> whats up guise?
[18:44] <erUSUL> shtower: what java files ? you want to know where java_home is ?
[18:44] <shtower> yes
[18:44] <Ronak> sebsebseb: Well I think I'll do that and try both Debian and Ubuntu. Ubuntu was just one of the first distributions I've installed and I always liked it^^
[18:44] <shtower> erUSUL: yes
[18:44] <erUSUL> kryptos: look into System>Preferences>keyboard
[18:45] <pgpkeys> strav add noauto to the fstab line
[18:45] <pgpkeys> i use it for my rescue partition since i don't want it mounted at boot
[18:45] <Strav> pgpkeys: nice thanks!
[18:45] <shtower> erUSUL: How do I find that?
[18:45] <pgpkeys> welcome
[18:45] <Exterminans> Hi, does anyone know where the statistics for the battery gnome-power-manager uses are stored?
[18:46] <Ronak> The main target of reading the book is improving my linux skills, so actually it doesn't really matter which distribution I'm using
[18:46] <erUSUL> shtower: dpkg -L openjdk-6-jre --> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/
[18:46] <pgpkeys> strav ~ man fstab and man mount for the future. they break it down into each fs type's params
[18:46] <sebsebseb> Ronak: well distros have their differences here and there
[18:46] <shtower> will it be the same for sun Java?
[18:46] <ad7daut7> i have a problem yesterday i was only using 449 MB Ram according to my system monitor i come home turn my pc on from its sleep and i get a black screen but screens light is green and i restart to find out im using 700 MB Ram but in prosses list says only 50 Mb Ram...
[18:47] <pgpkeys> strav ~ (not pulling an RTFM, jsut tellingyou which man pages has what you want :) )
[18:47] <erUSUL> shtower: yep use the apropiate packagename... probably is /usr/lib/jvm/sun-java6/ or some such
[18:47] <aj00200> ad7daut7: it sounds to me like your ram is wearing out
[18:47] <oCean_> pgpkeys: don't use such acronyms please
[18:47] <ad7daut7> aj: i doubt it its 4 GB Patriot Gaming Ram
[18:48] <ad7daut7> AJ: Its 1 year old
[18:48] <aj00200> ad7daut7: does it work under any other os?
[18:48] <pgpkeys> ocean_ ~ uhh, whatever. Read The Fine Manual is most definitely not a swear. and is completely germane to my comment
[18:48] <trojan_spike> im trying to expand my ubuntu partition,, no joy tho.. does this have to be done from live iso or something?
[18:48] <ad7daut7> Aj: Nothings wrong im just worried about why my system is all of a sudden using 10% more ram on this partition only i think i put junk on it or something
[18:49] <Strav> pgpkeys: I'll look into it if I need further info, thanks. (I usually do use the man, but after being fed up messing with hal and udev, here I came)
[18:49] <ad7daut7> Aj: happend after i installed virtual box but i removed it and still same problem
[18:49] <shtower> found it. Thank you
[18:49] <pgpkeys> strav ~ hehe yeah was my nightmare for a week or so myself (hal and udev)
[18:50] <aj00200> ad7daut7: it can vary alot. Mine varies highly on a minute to minute basis, along with my processor
[18:51] <Strav> pgpkeys: there really should be a way to better customize hal. I hear it's gonna fail into that "xyz is deprecated" trend, but really getting a fixed location for an usb drive should be hal's job.
[18:51] <vysotsky> Is there a good guide for troubleshooting my laptop's failure to suspend/hibernate in Ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit)? I've looked at a few logfiles and don't see a problem and could use a guide.
[18:51] <Strav> pgpkeys: or whatever is going to replace it.
[18:52] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:52] <erUSUL> Strav: for disks ( usb keys included) it has benn already replaced in karmic by devicekit-disks which became udisks in lucid
[18:52] <pgpkeys> strav ~ yeah I have an issue where say i switch usb port slots, and say its the only usb dev plugged in, it changes my partitions from say sdb2 to sdc2 occasionally
[18:52] <oCean_> vysotsky: there are some issues with hibernate (and resume) at launchpad. You could search them and see if there is useful info
[18:53] <pgpkeys> weird stuff. regardless of the slot, if there is no other drive or device with partitions plugged in it should not change the dev/part names
[18:53] <vysotsky> oCean_: Will do. Thanks.
[18:53] <Strav> pgpkeys: this can be fixed with udev (I did that same fix yesterday)
[18:53] <Yeti_69> !fr
[18:54] <birdofhermes> Hi, can somebody tell me how I move an application (for example pidgin) from one screen to the other? i am using Ubuntu Ultimate, two screens and the official Nvidia Drivers
[18:54] <pgpkeys> well if erusul is correct, then we need to remove udev and use udisks instead
[18:55] <savant> hey, can anyone point me at a tool or instructions for a way to install ubuntu from a working ubuntu installation? Is that even possible?
[18:55] <Strav> erUSUL: I'm on lucid and afaik if I uninstall hal, my usb drive won't automount.
[18:55] <oCean_> birdofhermes: ultimate is actually not supported here
[18:55] <pgpkeys> though udev is Required, udisks is Optional
[18:55] <birdofhermes> crap : / is there a channel for it?
[18:55] <Strav> pgpkeys: if I understand him correctly, udisks is a replacement for hal not udev.
[18:55] <bazhang> birdofhermes, ultimate? install ubuntu if you wish for support here
[18:55] <erUSUL> pgpkeys: udisk uses udev; i did not said they where mutually exclusive ...
[18:55] <pgpkeys> erusul ~ seemed you were implying that. my bad if i was mistaken
[18:56] <Strav> erUSUL: in your knowledge, is there a simple way to get a fixed (really fixed) usb drive location with udisks?
[18:56] <erUSUL> pgpkeys: i said it replaced *hal* in managing disk/volumes
[18:57] <ross_> Hello! I am having an audio issue. It works fine but then about 5 minutes into using an application it will suddenly cut out, but only for that application.
[18:57] <pgpkeys> you made no mention of hal, but now that its clarified it doesn't matter. confusion removed
[18:57]  * mbeierl wonders if he actually is heard is this channel.  it's been a long time since anyone has responded to a query...
[18:57] <pgpkeys> i see your words but no answer for you
[18:57] <Daekdroom> I don't see your question
[18:58] <Strav> mah. I'll google for it after I'll have tested that fstab line.
[18:59] <Strav> Thanks you guys

[18:59] <mbeierl> Daekdroom:  how to fix the extremely low resolution problem for ttys in lucid when using nvidia drivers?
[18:59] <ross_> It just happened on Exaile and the song skipped all the way to the end, but it's happening in everything.
[18:59] <Daekdroom> mbeierl, Not sure.
[19:00] <mbeierl> I've asked questions before ... days and weeks now, and never had anyone respond, so wasn't sure if I had voice here anymore :)
[19:01] <mbeierl> Daekdroom: thanks for confirming that I'm actually here, though !
[19:01] <aeon-ltd> mbeierl: whats your monitor res?
[19:01] <aeon-ltd> mbeierl: also please don't whine
[19:02] <mbeierl> aeon-ltd: 1280x800.  using grub2 with GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024.  tty resolution is something like 80x24 though
[19:02] <mbeierl> aeon-ltd: not whining.  just needed to check.  seriously, it has been a long time since I had been acknowledged and I know there were problems a week or two back with auth in the irc channels, so I decided to check
[19:04] <mbeierl> aeon-ltd: tty shows 40x12 characters of text.
[19:04] <Stameni> s
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> mbeierl: wait why are you using 1280x1024 with a 1280x800 screen?
[19:05] <mbeierl> aeon-ltd: I am so very sorry.  I have to go afk.  I'll try checking back later.  to answer, the grub2 screen shows nicely with 1280x1024, I will try changing it down to 1024x768 and see if that makes a difference
[19:06] <mbeierl> aeon-ltd: there was a mention a while back about using nvidia and the boot progress showing a huge ubuntu logo...?
[19:06] <aeon-ltd> mbeierl: waut add this to your kernel line vga=31E
[19:06] <aeon-ltd> mbeierl: at the end
[19:07] <hybridvigour> hello all
[19:07] <aeon-ltd> mbeierl: i hope it works
[19:07] <hybridvigour> sebsebseb: are you in here?
[19:07] <sebsebseb> hybridvigour: yes
[19:07] <isti37> hello everyone
[19:08] <isti37> I've got a little problem, and I didn't found any clear explication on google
[19:08] <tripelb> should pulseaudio be on if there is only xchat gedit and terminal running? ( I am looking at the top command results )
[19:08] <hybridvigour> sebsebseb: hey how's it going? i'm back with a couple more ?? (if you have a moment)
[19:08] <tripelb> isti37, just ask.
[19:08] <isti37> Who knows how to enable the consoles from F1 to F7
[19:08] <tripelb> isti37, just ask. all in one line
[19:08] <isti37> CTRL+ALT+F*
[19:08] <sebsebseb> hybridvigour: ok sure
[19:08] <tripelb> oh that's not clear at all isti37 -- all in one line
[19:09] <ben72> I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on a Samsung R370 laptop. the webcam does not work.. any hints?!
[19:09] <isti37> Who knows how to enable the consoles from CTRL + ALT + F*, because when I try to switch from kdm/gdm to any of them I get only a black screen and my monitor goes to standby.
[19:10] <tripelb> Ubuntu 9.10 everything got slow so I closed all browsers and did "top" in terminal. I noticed pulseaudio was running as 2nd. should pulseaudio be on if there is only xchat gedit and terminal running? ( I am looking at the top command results )
[19:10] <Eclesia> hello
[19:11] <hybridvigour> sebsebseb: thanks. okay so i spent most of the night just looking around and want to install edubuntu. because i'm installing on laptops should i: a) install edubuntu from it's own install cd?; b) install ubuntu and then add edubuntu through repositories?
[19:11] <julgutierrez> Can anyone recommend a vpn server that isnt pptp
[19:11] <Eclesia> question : how do I add a jvm in the update-java-alternatives list ?
[19:11] <isti37> tripelb pulseaudio is always on, but usually sleeps
[19:11] <castellano> donde encontrar gente
[19:12] <sebsebseb> hybridvigour: anyway now I have a great suggestion for you,  make sure to give them a Live CD with the lap top, so if something really bad was to happen to it, they could re install :)  Turns out Ubuntu 10.04 can brake and refuse to let anyone log in, happended yesterday or whenever it actsually was to our other computer.   I haven't looked at OS log files to see what might have caused it yet.
[19:12] <bnjmn> is there any editor like textmate for linux?
[19:12] <isti37> Who knows how to enable the consoles from CTRL + ALT + F*, because when I try to switch from kdm/gdm to any of them I get only a black screen and my monitor goes to standby.
[19:12] <Neriko> Will someone please tell me how to scan my entire hdd using clamav?
[19:12] <isti37> bnjmn try gedit or kate
[19:12] <Tizemt> ECHO im bored!
[19:13] <Tizemt> ECHO <1>
[19:13] <hybridvigour> sebsebseb: wow, that's crazy. i will for sure make a couple live cd's to send. so are you saying to stay away from 10.04?
[19:13] <CowzRule> ~(}:-0)= Mooooo
[19:13] <tripelb> isti37,  ty
[19:15] <tripelb> my chrome regularily quits doing audio (until I restart it) I wonder if Anyone Else shares this issue?  (the chromium room is just for developers)
[19:15] <sebsebseb> hybridvigour: depends really on a computer, how well Ubuntu runs or doesn't run, and such.  However I also had boot up issues and shut down issues, with 10.04,  and I know what distro I want on there instead really, so going to put that on :)
[19:15] <sebsebseb> hybridvigour: anyway standard Ubuntu install, then install Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu,  games, and what not, in there, that should do it
[19:16] <hybridvigour> sebsebseb: great, thanks. keep well. ttl

[19:18] <kholzer> Dr_Willis: thank you
[19:18] <Dr_Willis> isti37:  for my nvidia systems i MUST install the nvidia drivers or else the consoles dont work. Whioch means even on a live cd - the consooles dont work. Some issue with the neauvo drivers. (or however its spelt)

Your file isn't helping because now I got a headache from Grub2.
[19:23] <barroca> kholzer: i'm not sure..
[19:24] <kholzer> barroca: it is a 945.  Different than mine, probably a different issue.
[19:24] <barroca> kholzer: lspci not showing good information
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> isti37:  theres also the 'text' option for  grub that basically kicks in to text totally mode. even gdm/kdm wont start. ive used that as a recovery mode type option also. I imagine this is some sort of issue thats very chipset dependant. My old old nvidia system dosent have the issues. but my newer ones do.

[19:26] <Dr_Willis> k1ng:  you could at least summarize the problem. People tend to not go to web sites juist to read a problem.
[19:27] <isti37> Dr_Willis: hmm, I start to understand grub2 after reading the manual and what you said there seems useful, thanks
[19:27] <Ianex> has anyone experienced problems with adjusting the screen brightness on Ubuntu (Toshiba Satellite) ?
[19:27] <Dr_Willis> isti37:  yea. the whole problem seems to be more 'framebuffer/plymouth/the new gpl nvidia driver' interrelation issues.
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> isti37:  my 8600 nvidia card does not like plymouth or nouveau    at all.
[19:28] <anirvana> I have a software , I want to add it to menu and list of softwares when I right click on some compatible file/s?How to do it :)
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> anirvana:  alacarte lets you add menu items to your menu.
[19:29] <Jibadeeha> anyone know of a good editor for editing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript - something simple with syntax highlighting (like gEdit)
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> Jibadeeha:  try geany
[19:29] <barroca> kholzer: there are some workarounds: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_display_remaining_black_after_resume but none worked for me
[19:29] <jari_> any ubuntu apps that allow overclocking?
[19:29] <isti37> Jibadeeha or aptana
[19:29] <Jibadeeha> Dr_Willis, you are a genius - i've used it before but couldn't for the life of me remember the name
[19:29] <sebsebseb> !html | Jibadeeha
[19:29] <blackxored> guys, i've just flashed again cm6, wireless says connected, but i can't still browse, any clues?
[19:30] <anirvana> Dr_Willis , How do I use alacarte?
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> anirvana:  run it.. use it...
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> alt-f2 alacarte

[19:31] <root__> hello
[19:31] <GTHvidsten> I'm having some problems with the repositories in apt-get. Can anybody help sort out why I'm getting lots of 404's when it tries to download the indexes?
[19:32] <p_kasia_> Hi
[19:32] <polak> +i
[19:32] <p_kasia_> is it possible to make auto spelling corrction ?
[19:32] <sebsebseb> root__: If your running root for IRC don't do so,  security risk
[19:32] <erUSUL> GTHvidsten: that's a problem on the mirror you are using.
[19:32] <erUSUL> GTHvidsten: either wait till it is resolved or change the mirror in System>Admin...>software Sources
[19:32] <polak> elo
[19:33] <GTHvidsten> I'm running the server version without a GUI
[19:33] <GTHvidsten> but I can edit my sources.list, of course
[19:33] <Dr_Willis> p_kasia_:  correction where?
[19:33] <Dr_Willis> GTHvidsten:  servers may be down, or gettuing maintance or othe rthings.
[19:33] <p_kasia_> I mean real time spell checking and correction like iPhone has
[19:33] <p_kasia_> you type and it corrects you
[19:33] <Dr_Willis> p_kasia_:  yes.. but in what program?
[19:33] <p_kasia_> Dr_Willis, all gtk based
[19:33] <GTHvidsten> do you know of any other servers I can use?
[19:34] <Dr_Willis> p_kasia_: tjhats not going to happen in ALl programs - its program specific
[19:34] <Dr_Willis> GTHvidsten:  what server are you using now?
[19:34] <GTHvidsten> archive.ubuntu.com
[19:34] <p_kasia_> Dr_Willis, I would like to have such a feature in gnome so everywhere
[19:34]  * Dr_Willis imagines what spelling correction would do to the command line... 8shudder*
[19:34] <icebreaker> hi there
[19:34] <jpds> GTHvidsten: Well, where do you live?
[19:35] <p_kasia_> Dr_Willis, terminal is not spell corrected only gtk entries are afaik
[19:35] <icebreaker> how do i install conky in ubuntu?
[19:35] <bazhang> icebreaker, just a moment I have a tutorial for that
[19:35] <mikc> Hi, How can I check which video driver is currently is unse by Xorg?
[19:35] <GTHvidsten> jpds: Norway. It was originally set up to use no.archive.ubuntu.com but when that failed I changed it to just archive.ubuntu.com
[19:35] <Dr_Willis>  archive.ubuntu.com is working here.
[19:35] <jpds> GTHvidsten: Then tell the admin it failed.
[19:35] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  sudo apt-get install conky
[19:35] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  and be sure to read up on the conky docs.
[19:35] <jpds> GTHvidsten: /join #ubuntu-mirrors and ask Berge.
[19:35] <GTHvidsten> Dr_Willis: Yeh, I can browse to it using firefox... just not with apt-get
[19:36] <bazhang> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5436679 icebreaker
[19:36] <mikc> After an update, my girlfreind's computer experiences very slow graphic performance
[19:36] <icebreaker> okz...
[19:36] <icebreaker> but what about bin install?
[19:36] <Dr_Willis> GTHvidsten:  i just updated/upgraded from it - 2 min ago.
[19:36] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  Huh?
[19:36] <icebreaker> u know the from source install?
[19:36] <p_kasia_> Dr_Willis, there is already spell checking in gtk entries, areas but it does only red underline and I would love to see autocorrection with suggestions or correction from context
[19:36] <k1ng> Dr_Willis, i got no luck fixing this
[19:36] <icebreaker> of conky?
[19:36] <p_kasia_> Dr_Willis, I guess its a dream?
[19:36] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  why do you want to use source?
[19:36] <bazhang> icebreaker, install conky from the repos
[19:37] <icebreaker> i wanted to learn it...
[19:37] <icebreaker> how install works...
[19:37] <GTHvidsten> looking at the messages from apt-get and what I see in firefox it seems all the updates for feisty are gone
[19:37] <icebreaker> and also my sudo apt thingy does not work properly..
[19:37] <bazhang> icebreaker, read the ubuntu manual is the first step
[19:37] <jpds> GTHvidsten: Yep, feisty is long deda.
[19:37] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  you will spend 3 weeks just learning how to configure conky.. Practice compiling somthing simpiler..
[19:37] <bazhang> !manual | icebreaker
[19:37] <Dr_Willis> !info  conky-all
[19:37] <icebreaker> i know to configure YUM...
[19:37] <Synthead> hey all
[19:37] <icebreaker> but how to configure apt -get?
[19:37] <bazhang> icebreaker, please read the links given to you
[19:38] <Dr_Willis> YUM last i checked was  a package manager.. not much to configure to it.
[19:38] <Synthead> I'm learning how to build debs
[19:38] <Dr_Willis> !apt | icebreaker
[19:38] <jpds> GTHvidsten: Your only option is to upgrade to a newer release.
[19:38] <Synthead> I'm reading this
[19:38] <Synthead> http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Debian-Binary-Package-Building-HOWTO/
[19:38] <icebreaker> ok...
[19:38] <icebreaker> thank u all..
[19:38] <Synthead> at the control section, it reads "Section: base"
[19:38] <Synthead> is this incorrect?
[19:38] <bazhang> icebreaker, You are welcome.
[19:38] <Dr_Willis> GTHvidsten:  if your reelease is past end of life. You need to change the sources.list to some  archival server.. i forget the names of them
[19:38] <Dr_Willis> !eol
[19:39] <GTHvidsten> jpds: so I won't be able to use, say, "dapper" in my sources.list and force it to work?
[19:39] <Synthead> I'm reading this http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-subsections
[19:39] <jpds> GTHvidsten: Well, dapper was released before feisty so that won't help.
[19:39] <Synthead> it says to use main, contrib, and non-free
[19:39] <GTHvidsten> jpds: I just noticed they still had dapper archives on archive.ubuntu.com
[19:40] <jpds> GTHvidsten: Yes, Dapper is not end-of-life and is still supported, feisty is not.
[19:40] <icebreaker> how to get mkv support in vlc?
[19:40] <GTHvidsten> ok, I see
[19:40] <icebreaker> and other codecs...??
[19:40] <Synthead> any thoughts on the control file?
[19:40] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  vlc plays mkv just find here
[19:40] <bazhang> icebreaker, install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:41] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  instasll the w32codecs and the  the package bazhang  mentioned for most players
[19:41] <icebreaker> will it play H26??
[19:41] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  i can play most anything on my linucx machines.
[19:41] <icebreaker> ok..
[19:41] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  ive rarely found somthing i cant play
[19:41] <bazhang> !medibuntu > icebreaker
[19:41] <jpds> GTHvidsten: Your running feisty right now?
[19:41] <Synthead> :/
[19:42] <GTHvidsten> jpds: when I look at the version number I didn't think I was running that old a server, but that's what it says in my sources.list
[19:42] <icebreaker> how do i set passwords levels for my desktop?
[19:42] <jpds> GTHvidsten: Run: lsb_release -a - to be sure.
[19:42] <bazhang> icebreaker, levels?
[19:42] <mikc> Which driver/package for 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series] ?
[19:43] <r0000t> anyone familiar with customzing LogWatch?
[19:43] <GTHvidsten> jpds: That says feisty as well, so apperently there's some flux in my internal chronometer :P
[19:43] <beutdeuce> I have just added a new rule in iptables to support all incoming tcp connections on port 5984, yet when i try to connect to that port externally, I still fail. Do I need to do anything else?
[19:43] <icebreaker> yeah....like if i want to use the system i want full access...but if i give to my family a bit access..others some access..public little acess..to features..net..harddisks etc
[19:43] <bazhang> icebreaker, you use sudo
[19:43] <icebreaker> password levels...... yeah....like if i want to use the system i want full access...but if i give to my family a bit access..others some access..public little acess..to features..net..harddisks etc
[19:44] <jpds> GTHvidsten: OK; so you can either reinstall a newer release afresh, or perform several upgrades to get back up to a supported level.
[19:44] <GTHvidsten> jpds: Yeh, that's a bit too much work than I'd originally set out on
[19:45] <GTHvidsten> jpds: So it seems my server hardware upgrade this fall is looking more and more enticing :)
[19:45] <Wavesonics> gedit keeps giving me crap about not being able to auto-detect the character encoding, can i disable that? or what is another text editor i can use?
[19:45] <jpds> GTHvidsten: Hardware upgrades always are. :)
[19:45] <Neriko> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/VFckUjS1
[19:45] <icebreaker> i am not talking about profiling....but about giving people resricted access to my desktop based on 10 levels of passwords..the 10 are level 1: full acess..level 2: no browser level 3: only desktop..etc..
[19:45] <Neriko> ClamAV is giving me these osd's
[19:45] <icebreaker> like if i type a password on the desktop it will show some access features..
[19:46] <anirvana> Whenever I open a .js file u unbuntu asks me whether I want to run or display this file. Is there a option for a permanent setting for this??
[19:46] <bazhang> icebreaker, I suggest you read the manual
[19:46] <icebreaker> good idea..
[19:46] <VCoolio> anirvana: in nautilus, edit > preferences, search for what to do with executable files
[19:46] <GTHvidsten> jpds: crud... all I wanted was a simple subversion installation...now I suddenly have to fork out a couple of thousand dollars for a new server... remind me to never come here again :P
[19:46] <icebreaker> hey one question....what are the different os on Tony starks desktop?
[19:46] <luanlmd> anirvana: right click the file and take a look on property window
[19:46] <bazhang> http://ubuntu-manual.org/ icebreaker
[19:46] <beutdeuce> any ideas? I have just added a new rule in iptables to support all incoming tcp connections on port 5984, yet when i try to connect to that port externally, I still fail. Do I need to do anything else?
[19:46] <bazhang> icebreaker, no idea, and offtopic here
[19:47] <jpds> GTHvidsten: You could always use: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu fiesty main .... in sources.list
[19:47] <Neriko> Anyone have ideas how I can stop that message from appearing?
[19:48] <jpds> GTHvidsten: But you won't receive any security updates, etc.
[19:48] <schlaftier> Wavesonics: if you know the encoding, you can tell Gedit in the "open file" dialog
[19:48] <anirvana> VCoolio luanlmd , thanks :)
[19:48] <luanlmd> anirvana, anytime
[19:49] <Wavesonics> schlaftier, hhmm ok, any suggestions on the best editor for editing SVN dump files?
[19:49] <anirvana> luanlmd : but that preference got save for this particular js file, how can I save it for .js files?
[19:50] <beutdeuce> How can i restart iptables?
[19:50] <CAP9458> got a dubt
[19:50] <schlaftier> Wavesonics: I wouldn't know how to manually edit them, sorry. Are those really text files?
[19:51] <luanlmd> anirvana, u mean in the "open with" tab? well it works for any file of that kind for me.. but i think nautilus do it based on the mime type and not in the extension
[19:51] <GTHvidsten> jpds: That link worked wonders! Thanks :)
[19:51] <Wavesonics> schlaftier, well.. mixed i suppose.
[19:51] <MetalGeek_N00b> Could someone please tell me a good IRC channel for terminal discusions
[19:51] <anirvana> luanlmd , yes, How do I access nautilus?
[19:51] <edev> Hi, all. I'm trying to get online with my Ubuntu 10.04 desktop by running a crossover cable to my laptop's NIC, then bridging the connection with the WiFi. This has worked in the past, but this morning I get DHCP info but no other data seems to get by.... I can't even ping my router. Is there any way to verify more thoroughly that it's not a problem on Ubuntu?
[19:52] <TrentonAdams> hi guys.  Was in the middle of an upgrade, and my system hung.  Dell studio 17 blinks the capslock when something, but I don't know what, goes wrong.  It only happens on ubuntu, and I've never seen that problem under gentoo.  I dual boot with gentoo.
[19:52] <luanlmd> anirvana, at places menus.. whatever folder do you open it is nautilus.. or just hit alt+f2 and type nautilus <enter>
[19:52] <TrentonAdams> I followed the procedures to try and recover, based on the big red minus sign at the top right.
[19:52] <TrentonAdams> It then said some packages were left broken, so I went into the GUI, and marked them for re-installation.
[19:53] <TrentonAdams> It then asked me to reboot, at which time it promptly refused to boot into ubuntu...
[19:53] <TrentonAdams> It said "target filesystem doesn't have /linuxrc"
[19:53] <TrentonAdams> any help would be appreciated.
[19:54] <TrentonAdams> I can mount /proc /dev on a chrooted environment of ubuntu, from within gentoo, if needed.
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. I dont even have a /linuxrc on my working system
[19:54] <bugattack> hi does anyone know maybe why my audio isn't working?
[19:54] <Godfather8850> does anyone know if the VGA out of the computer works on VirtualBox? I have a problem with my VGA out in Ubuntu and I was thinking to give it a try through VirtualBox
[19:54] <GTHvidsten> Thanks for the help jdps and Dr_Willis! :)
[19:54] <TrentonAdams> Dr_Willis: /linuxrc is an initial ramdisk thing
[19:54] <Neriko> ClamAV locks up and gives me LibClamAV Warning: fmap_readpage: pread fail: asked for 4094 bytes @ offset 2, got 0
[19:54] <schlaftier> Wavesonics: It's probably an archive file similar to "tar" or so. I would strongly recommend restoring the svn tree instead of editing the dump file using whatever editor
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> Godfather8850:  you want to do what exactly with virtualbox?
[19:55] <technikfreak> hello together is it possible to "pimp" a 3g connection?
[19:55] <technikfreak> like putting something on the usb stick
[19:55] <Godfather8850> Dr_Willis, install Windows XP and try to project my laptops image on my TV screen. There is a bug on Ubuntu right now and all the radeons project a wavy VGA out
[19:56] <Wavesonics> schlaftier, well its a plain file human redable file in it, but happens to have binary packed in with it
[19:56] <debit> I installed the LAMP server and Joomla on 10.04. When I try to go to the first page my browser wants to download the php file. Did I miss a setting?
[19:56] <luanlmd> Godfather8850, it might work, since virtualbox use the host OS at all.. so the guest SO should run ok too
[19:57] <Godfather8850> luanlmd, so you think I should install the ATI drivers on the virtual box and then connect it with the VGA out inside Ubuntu? will this work?
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> Godfather8850:  i dont think vbox works that way
[19:57] <bugattack> hello does anyone know why my audio doesn't work in ubuntu
[19:58] <schlaftier> Wavesonics: then any text editor will do as long as you tell it the encoding. But you have been warned, it is not necessarily a valid svn dump file after manually editing.
[19:58] <oCean_> debit: make sure php module is enabled in apache, see /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
[19:58] <luanlmd> Godfather8850, the SO inside virtualbox wont recnize your hardware and its drivers, you can install virtualbox guest addtions to get a better graphics into the guest SO
[19:58] <debit> thank you oCean
[19:58] <schlaftier> Wavesonics: also, you might run into problems with the binary part
[19:59] <dreamer000> Godfather, did you try xorg7.2?
[19:59] <lowridah> anyone know the directive for kickstart files to ONLY install base ubuntu server (nothing additional)
[19:59] <hybridvigour> hi there y'all. could someone tell be if it is recommendable to use the standard ubuntu install on legacy laptops or would the netbook install be a wiser choice?
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> hybridvigour:  proberly wont matter at all.
[19:59] <dreamer000> 7.5 is ugly also on my machine. Nothing to do.
[19:59] <james20> Hybridvigour, use the regular install on a laptop.
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> hybridvigour:  if its a low end system you may want to use xubuntu or lubuntu.
[20:00] <luanlmd> hybridvigour, just try the live cd and see how it works
[20:00] <Godfather8850> dreamer000, What is that? I am new to Linux, The only thing i know is that there is bug in the system that is "in process" for about 3 months.. I'm in a state of desperation
[20:00] <lowridah> or is there an ubuntu channel that doesn't cater mostly to noobs
[20:00] <hybridvigour> Thanks y'all!
[20:00] <debit> oCean: the php module is there and a phpinfo.php brings up the expected php info. That means php is working?
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> lowridah:  theres #ubuntu-server
[20:00] <icebreaker> how to host a ftp serverr on ubuntu?
[20:00] <lowridah> sweet
[20:01] <lowridah> thanks!
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> icebreaker:  install a ftp server.. confifgure it.. have fun.. then learn that ssh can basically replace ftp for most needs.
[20:01] <dreamer000> try to get all packages depending on Xorg7.2 and install. On my old Radeon it works.
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> !ftpd | icebreaker
[20:02] <bugattack> hello ubuntu people, do you know how to fix this problem i have with getting audio to work
[20:02] <qweqwe> the default desktop ubuntu running it's kde ?
[20:02] <Godfather8850> dreamer000, how do I do that?
[20:02] <icebreaker> thanx..
[20:02] <luanlmd> icebreaker, like Dr_Willis said, i would look at ssh first
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> qweqwe:  gnome is default in ubuntu. Kde default in kubuntu
[20:02] <elb0w> Im having a hard time getting flash to work on 64bit ubuntu on 64bit chrome
[20:02] <elb0w> Anyone have any insight to this?
[20:02] <MetalGeek_N00b> Hi James20
[20:02] <james20> Howdy
[20:03] <MetalGeek_N00b> I don't know if you have kids but damb
[20:03] <codeshah> hey guys, I added a user to my ubuntu box, and though he can FTP in [vsftpd] it seems that he cannot ssh? [it asks for passwd but it denies it]
[20:03] <qweqwe> Dr_Willis:i want to see the code of "System Monitor" , any idea how i can get to it ?
[20:04] <oCean_> MetalGeek_N00b: what?
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> qweqwe:  find the packatge its in . use the apt-get tools to grab the source.
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> elb0w:  flash seems to be working here 64bit system. 64bit google chrome. 32bit flash however. :)
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> I think..
[20:04] <dajhorn> codeshah: Look at the /var/log/auth.log file for instances of "sshd" and the user name.
[20:05] <Dr_Willis> be back later all.
[20:05] <dreamer000> You have to manually find and download I guess. then install each package via dpkg. But before that you have to uninstall xorg. And I don't know whether it breaks dependencies.
[20:05] <oCean_> debit: yes, phpinfo.php verifies your php configuration
[20:05] <g-me> Hi there. I use ekiga as a softphone SIP client. I have bought a USB phone (simply mic and speaker) yet I get errors when selecting the device. Any Ideas?
[20:05] <dajhorn> codeshah: OpenSSH will refuse a login, even if the password is right, if the permissions on $HOME/.ssh/ are too permissive.

[20:06] <codeshah> dajhorn, I added this user so he can FTP in actually... how can I give him wirte permissions to one of my directories? I made his 'home directory' one of my subdirs
[20:06] <codeshah> do I add him ot my group?
[20:06] <bazhang> icebreaker, from synaptic package manager
[20:06] <elb0w> scriptwarlock, that has no relevance to my issue but thanks
[20:06] <Godfather8850> dreamer000, thank you very much for your help
[20:07] <dajhorn> codeshah: He needs the "execute" permission on each directory, including yours, that constitutes his $HOME directory.
[20:07] <icebreaker> why isn't there a root account in ubuntu like in red hat??
[20:07] <bazhang> icebreaker, ubuntu uses sudo
[20:07] <icebreaker> i am using hardy heron....
[20:07] <james20> For security, icebreaker. You can access the root account via sudo
[20:07] <james20> !sudo
[20:07] <codeshah> dajhorn, currently that directory is owned by <me>:<me> ... I don't have to change that then, I guess...
[20:08] <icebreaker> i want root to be my default account
[20:08] <icebreaker> any possibilities?>
[20:08] <james20> You can't do that
[20:08] <dajhorn> codeshah:  You can add him to your personal group, or you can `chmod o+X` to each parent directory.
[20:08] <bazhang> icebreaker, no you dont
[20:08] <Clinteger> hey everyone
[20:08] <codeshah> ok
[20:08] <Clinteger> I installed kubuntu, then the xubuntu-desktop metapackage and finally ubuntu-desktop
[20:08] <alongenemylines> icebreaker, just give yourself root access without a password
[20:08] <KrisDouglas> icebreaker, by having your main account as root, any dodgy apps can do whatever they wanr to your system
[20:08] <icebreaker> why not....atleast i dont have to type sudo now and then...
[20:08] <Clinteger> and I'm using gnome and my cursor theme is seriously messed up. How can I pick one cursor theme to use? :|
[20:08] <llutz> icebreaker: "sudo -i" is what you want

[20:09] <g-me> Anyone recommend a USB phone for Ubuntu ?
[20:09] <icebreaker> okay will try that...
[20:09] <KrisDouglas> in a terminal, sudo -i lets you run that terminal window as if you were logged in as root.
[20:09] <DDAZZA> What is the maximum length on a video in Cheese? Is there a maximum length to a video?
[20:09] <mmm4m5m> A little help please: any virtual webcam for linux (and virtual mic)? I want adobe flash to see my web cam and to broadcast an static image (and virtual mic - to broadcast an music)?
[20:09] <dajhorn> g-me: Buy a regular headset, and then use a program like Ekiga or Skype to do the VOIP.
[20:09] <Underbyte> kris: sudo su - works well too
[20:10] <Underbyte> nice if you have a sudoers account but not root
[20:10] <Ademan> is there a FUSE filesystem I can use to create a union of two directories? ideally I could do this in the same directory (but I had a memory that just doesn't work) ie, ${HOME}/Music merge "in place" with /media/remote/Music or something
[20:10] <guntbert> Underbyte: don't recommend that
[20:10] <g-me> dajhorn: I have a usb phone but appears not to work in Ekiga - ekiga is fine with sip client but not with using the usb phone
[20:10] <Underbyte> Ademan: ln -s?
[20:10] <KrisDouglas> mmm4m5m: http://sourceforge.net/projects/webcamstudio/develop should be of some assistance
[20:10] <qweqwe> in what language the kde is written i downloaded now system monitor code and look at some file with in extension is it perl or something ?
[20:10] <g-me> dajhorn: Error while opening audio output device USB Device 0x4b4:0x306
[20:10] <Underbyte> gunt: why? j/c
[20:10] <guntbert> !tab | Underbyte
[20:10] <erUSUL> qweqwe: C++ mostly
[20:10] <dajhorn> g-me: Pastebin information on the manufacturer and model of the hardware, and dmesg information.
[20:10] <mmm4m5m> KrisDouglas: thanks a lot!
[20:11] <scriptwarlock> !jonathan
[20:11] <Ademan> Underbyte: hah, that's a little more work, and a little too permanent, but thanks
[20:11] <g-me> dajhorn: can you tell me command I need to run, sorry newish and still learning
[20:11] <dajhorn> g-me: First, what is the manufacturer and model of your hardware?
[20:11] <scriptwarlock> jonathan you there?
[20:11] <KrisDouglas> mmm4m5m; if you go to the files tab, there is a .deb which works in Ubuntu :)
[20:11] <tommy_> anybody have any luck getting Olympus MASUB-10
[20:11] <tommy_> to mount
[20:11] <g-me> dajhorn: :) el cheapo ebay phone. generic and no info
[20:12] <guntbert> Underbyte: the recommended and sensible way to gain a root shell is sudo -i -- what you suggested can play badly with the environment and make your system less usable
[20:12] <dajhorn> g-me: Nothing at all is printed on the phone itself?
[20:12] <jussi> Underbyte: sudo -i sets the enviroment variables correctly and gives the same result.
[20:12] <mmm4m5m> KrisDouglas: I am a little slow with these things... let me read what it does first :))
[20:12] <Underbyte> i see
[20:12] <KrisDouglas> mmm4m5m, that's fine, just letting you know the best file to download from when it comes to it :)
[20:12] <Pulga> k
[20:13] <g-me> dajhorn: yep that cheap. Nothing on the phone. Is the same as this - http://www.sipgate.co.uk/voipshop/sg-hs100b which looks like they have branded

[20:15] <mmm4m5m> KrisDouglas: no virtual microphone? And this is only for flash web sites, not for... skype or similar? (this is my first touch with camera in linux, plus it is virtual...) Anyway. Your link is very good, hope I will make it work
[20:15] <icebreaker> hey is there a way to download all VLC dependies and files to a folder and install them locally when needed?
[20:15] <bazhang> icebreaker, just install from repos

[20:17] <Nijverheid> if somebody accesses my machine using WinSCP, for example, where do I find the logs for what file operations were processed?
[20:17] <g-me> dajhorn :( cheers for finding that info.. Possibly I could use my virtualbox and XP VM. cheers
[20:17] <erUSUL> Nijverheid: do not think that gets logged anywhere
[20:17] <dajhorn> g-me: Sorry, and good luck.
[20:18] <guntbert> Nijverheid: only on their machine I guess :-/
[20:18] <icebreaker> i downloaded conky using apt -get ..but where is the program in my desktop?
[20:18] <Nijverheid> that's strange... ah well
[20:19] <bazhang> icebreaker, did you read the linked tutorial I gave you?
[20:19] <icebreaker> no..
[20:19] <bazhang> icebreaker, good time to read it then
[20:19] <james20> Nowhere, icebreaker. You have to start it from a terminal or have it auto start on boot.

[20:21] <NEO117> I got a problem with Skype, the sound from my mic is really bad
[20:21] <NEO117> it crackles and pops
[20:21] <scriptwarlock> icebreaker starts learning ubuntu.. :)
[20:21] <CrayonOfDoom> for a headless ubuntu install over pxelinux, where should I place the preseed file on the tftp server?
[20:22] <AutumnAi> I have a problem with updating my netbook. Using the newest package gives me a timeout error on reboot, forcing me to go back to a previous install.
[20:24] <AutumnAi> I keep trying to figure out why the new package keeps making my netbook freak out, but I haven't had much luck searching the forums.
[20:24] <NEO117> So anyone can help me with skype here?
[20:24] <alongenemylines> what kind of a skype issue?
[20:24] <NEO117> the sound from my mic is terrible
[20:25] <ewook> that might be your voice ;)
[20:25] <ewook> ... sorry. :p
[20:25] <NEO117> LOL
[20:25] <alongenemylines> have you adjusted your mic volume?
[20:25] <NEO117> yeah
[20:25] <NEO117> it still crackles and pops
[20:25] <ewook> NEO117: what input-dev are you using?
[20:25] <NEO117> not sure
[20:25] <NEO117> how do I check that?
[20:25] <AutumnAi> Can anyone help with a strange timeout error on startup?

[20:26] <blackxored> is there any way to pass custom parameters based on a client ip address in a dhcp server, meaning i want to setup gateway parameter for a reserved ip address?
[20:26] <tommy_> NE0117 have you used a different mic-it could be a bad mic cable
[20:26] <NEO117> no
[20:26] <NEO117> it works perfect on Windows
[20:26] <NEO117> and on other distros it worked as well (Mandriva, OpenSUSE)
[20:27] <NEO117> even worked well on Karmic
[20:27] <NEO117> it's something with pulseaudio
[20:27] <scriptwarlock> NEO117: you tried the skype test call? s it clear?
[20:27] <tommy_> sorry but I'm out of ideas now
[20:27] <Mchl_> hello
[20:27] <Flakeparadigm> How would I go about writing a script that detects a crash of a certain program and automatically restarts it?
[20:27] <NEO117> the guys voice is clear
[20:28] <NEO117> mine is kinda clear but there are too many cracks and pops
[20:28] <Mchl_> a question: why's Ubuntu Desktop 64bit 'Not recommended for daily desktop usage' ?
[20:28] <james20> Mchl_ because the majority of desktops aren't x64 compatible
[20:28] <bazhang> Mchl_, poor wording choice on the site, it's fine
[20:28] <icebreaker> why does firefox hang on my hardy heron?
[20:28] <Mchl_> ok, thanks guys
[20:28] <bazhang> icebreaker, give some details
[20:29] <AutumnAi> Is reverting to an older package the only way to fix a package-related issue?

[20:29] <tahsin> Hi every1...İam an architect...so İ need to use autocad in ubuntu....i downloaded autocad 2011 last day...i tryed to open it with wine application...but it doesnt work ...what sould i do?
[20:29] <guntbert> blackxored: look at at the "options" for a given host/subnet in the config file -- this one should read "option routers <gateway-IP>;"  (without the quotes)
[20:29] <ridin> tahsin, according to the appdb it's not compatible
[20:29] <icebreaker> when i open more tabs like more than 15 or more...and come back to it after some time..firfox hangs for some time...
[20:29] <bazhang> icebreaker, flash?
[20:29] <icebreaker> installed/...
[20:30] <AutumnAi> bazhang, so far, that's the only thing I've come up with to make Linux boot.
[20:30] <bazhang> icebreaker, flash tabs?
[20:30] <tahsin> ridin, so icant use this app. via ubuntu
[20:30] <strywgr> for how long this input/ouput error is going to stay with wubi?
[20:30] <ridin> via wine, yes. if you
[20:30] <ridin> ...
[20:30] <icebreaker> not really..most are ftpsites..
[20:30] <|jonathan|> at last my terminal says modem is not responding :(
[20:30] <icebreaker> only some..
[20:30] <ridin> via wine, yes. if you've got a very strong computer then you could run it on virtualbox
[20:30] <bazhang> icebreaker, how much ram?
[20:30] <icebreaker> 512 DDR2
[20:30] <icebreaker> at 677
[20:30] <bazhang> icebreaker, that's an issue then

[20:31] <NEO117> tried that
[20:31] <icebreaker> ur saying firefox uses 512 mb of ram for browsing???
[20:31] <ridin> tahsin, it enables you to run Windows inside Linux, enable you to run windows programs, hopefully you have a windows install cd
[20:31] <NEO117> didn't work
[20:31] <bazhang> AutumnAi, better to troubleshoot the issue than downgrade (which is not supported and will break other things)
[20:32] <blackxored> guntbert, thanks i managed to do it
[20:32] <scriptwarlock> NEO117: mind try calling me? to test?

[20:36] <smoker_d> hi daniel_
[20:36] <AutumnAi> bazhang, okay. Well, I'm running a dual boot partition, and my LiveCD worked fine on 2.36.32-21. Once I upgraded to 2.36.32-23, I started getting errors at startup.
[20:37] <AutumnAi> Linux will not boot and drops me into shell for some reason.
[20:37] <bazhang> AutumnAi, please paste.ubuntu.com with the associated errors
[20:37] <maxunderkill> hello guys and girls, anyone here that can help me draft a bash script for a tethering program(easytether)?
[20:37] <Norm> i've got a VLAN trunk setup, so i have interfaces eth0, vlan10, vlan20, vlan30... i see each VLAN's traffic on its own interface, but i can't seem to do "tcpdump -i eth0 vlan 10". is there something preventing the traffic from appearing on eth0 after a vlan subinterface has been created?
[20:37] <iceroot> maxunderkill: #bash
[20:38] <Hanzerik|VM> maxunderkill, Azlink works great with the Moto Droid
[20:38] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: hold on for awhile
[20:38] <AutumnAi> bazhang, thanks.
[20:38] <Jordan_U> kaddi: Try asking in #grub, it may be that the grub in your mbr and post-mbr embedded area is out of sync with the files in /boot/grub/ (but that's just a guess as when that happens it can manifest itself in many different ways).
[20:38] <wizard_> can someone please help, I need to remote my work machine, I get the message applet not initialized anyone one now how to fix using firefox
[20:38] <icebreaker> hey any ways to talk to linus torvalds himself?
[20:39] <icebreaker> on IRC?
[20:39] <bazhang> icebreaker, no of course not
[20:39] <kaddi> Jordan_U: I think it's too late for grub, it's shortly before the GUI loads and long after I selected the kernel to boot
[20:39] <maxunderkill> Hanzerik, it's for my neighbor, we've tried other tethering progs before but easytether seems to be the one that has the least overhead (VERY old desktop =<celeron 900)
[20:39] <AutumnAi> bazhang, what exactly does the pastebin do?
[20:40] <maxunderkill> thx iceroot, i'll check there.
[20:40] <CkhiKuzad> autumnAi, its a place for you to post large amounts of stuff while making it easy to send to people

[20:40] <|jonathan|> ok
[20:40] <CkhiKuzad> god i wish the guy who helped me last night was on right now

Are kernel developers, mainly the usb team, aware on this problem that affects many users?
[20:44] <kaddi> Jordan_U: no, but I'd like to know what it means anyways.. it's my PC :p

[20:48] <CkhiKuzad> whenever i try to boot the installer entry, it says i have to load the kernel first, and i have no idea how to do this.

[20:49] <|jonathan|> scriptwarlock yeah

[20:50] <guntbert> !ot | craigbass1976
[20:51] <ridin> xangua, when you do sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop, it installs it and the dependancies, plus you have the option for the recommended packages?
[20:51] <scriptwarlock> jonathan: use the pastebin
[20:51] <AutumnAi> Can anyone help with my issue? I'd need to reinstall the newest packages again, and take a picture of my screen.

[20:55] <Pici> R33D3M33R: So register/identify
[20:55] <sebsebseb> R33D3M33R: some channels you need to be registered on the network
[20:55] <Pici> !register > R33D3M33R
[20:55] <sebsebseb> Pici: had been a while since I tried channels like that, so was thinking is it ## or #
[20:56] <R33D3M33R> thanks
[20:56] <AdminX> Is MoBlock a firewall?
[20:57] <Jordan_U> kaddi: Looking at the source, it means that the function pnp_assign_reseources (where I'm guessing pnp means plug and play) (drivers/pnp/manager.c). Since it's referencing parport, which stands for parallel port, you're probably fine if you don't actually need to use the parallel port (and I'm not sure that the error is fatal, so it may even work despite that error).
[20:57] <james20> !moblock
[20:57] <Pici> Thats a bad factoid.
[20:58] <Jordan_U> kaddi: ... means that pnp_assign_resources() failed.
[20:58] <icebreaker> how can i remove gnome permanently??
[20:58] <kaddi> Jordan_U: oh wow, thanks :) Awesum! Thanks very much for the research and the info
[20:58] <Jordan_U> kaddi: np :)

[20:58] <barroca> kholzer: any news? :)
[20:58] <bihari> how to open files through the terminals?
[20:59] <icebreaker>  how can i remove gnome permanently??
[20:59] <om26er> !removegnome
[20:59] <kaddi> !purgegnome
[20:59] <bazhang> AutumnAi, you would need to paste the actual error messages, or at least describe them in some detail here
[20:59] <kaddi> !purekde
[21:00] <Loshki> J11: great question. Looking at the code snippet for dd at http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/, it seems that 114463+1 records means 114463 full records, plus 1 partial record. where partial means less than a full block (depends on the block size, ibs and obs, default 512 depending on your version of dd) was read/written...b
[21:00] <kaddi> that might help you on the track
[21:01] <Loshki> J11: the best way to be sure to know if it copied everything properly is to calculate and compare md5sums for the original and the copy...
[21:02] <AutumnAi> Can anyone give me a hand with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/463132/plain/
[21:02] <J11> Loshki: it's an entire disk of 30 gb, plus it got gzipped on the fly
[21:03] <Darko3d> i have a directory containing a long list of folders that are name following this pattern year-month-day and it goes all the way from 2002 till 2010, what is the ziping command that i should use to only zip the folders statring with 2002 for example
[21:04] <bazhang> AutumnAi, that's a repaste of you stating the error without the actual error messages
[21:04] <foxlover> My trash isn't showing it's 11 items... When I open it freezes. What's up? :S
[21:04] <TheFaioli> Does anyone know how to solve version mismatch between module and kernel? The module was compiled against kernel header+source and loaded fine, but suddenly it doesn't...!
[21:05] <microlith> TheFaioli: kernel changed
[21:05] <TheFaioli> microlith: How could it have changed?
[21:05] <microlith> regular updates
[21:05] <Darko3d> anyone
[21:05] <microlith> unless you build and install your own kernel,  the updater will move you to a new kernel automatically
[21:06] <TheFaioli> microlith: When I recompile it now (supposedly with the new kernel) it still doesn't work... do I need also to update kernel-src and kernel-headers?
[21:06] <J11> Loshki: but i already copied the import files, so it's just the old windows version that came on a laptop were I will be installing lynx on
[21:06] <hdf> #semarang
[21:06] <microlith> TheFaioli: yes
[21:06] <J11> *important
[21:06] <TheFaioli> microlith: Thanks I'll try...
[21:06] <microlith> is this a module in the kernel tree, or an external module?
[21:06] <CrayonOfDoom> foxlover: when it happens, does ctrl+alt+f1 bring up a console, or is it a complete hardboot?

[21:07] <guntbert> AutumnAi: please 1) state your problem here 2) if you use paste.ubuntu.com don't append plain/ to the url - else it will ask users to login
[21:07] <peeps[work]> i restarted my computer, and not all of the typical services started automatically as they normally do.  does anyone know what could cause that?
[21:07] <peeps[work]> i'm wondering if a recent update broke something
[21:08] <AutumnAi> guntbert, sorry about that. Never used paste.ubuntu.com before.
[21:08] <icebreaker> how do i configure proxy settings via command line in ubuntu??
[21:08] <TheFaioli> microlith: It's an external module, and I am not sure it even should work with 2.6.32-22 , but I have nothing to lose (except for time)
[21:08] <guntbert> AutumnAi: no problem :) you can state a one line question here in the channel
[21:08] <bazhang> icebreaker, proxy for what
[21:08] <AutumnAi> I have a booting issue that is screenshot impossible.
[21:09] <wizard_> can someone please help, I need to remote my work machine, I get the message applet not initialized anyone one now how to fix using firefox
[21:09] <TheFaioli> microlith: It's a module for a DVB-T stick which is supposedly supported up to 2.6.29... I am willing to poke it till it works.
[21:09] <microlith> TheFaioli: good luck
[21:09] <icebreaker> in my coolege hostel..i have a laptop...and theres a proxy server to connect to the server for internet...so how do i configure it via command line?
[21:09] <sudoman> is it a bad idea to install a kernel update such as linux-image-2.6.32-24-powerpc ?
[21:10] <sudoman> i mean is it a bad idea to not wait until it automatically upgrades?
[21:10] <icebreaker> so that i may be able to download apt packages via sudo apt...
[21:10] <TheFaioli> microlith: Thanks. The most bugging thing is, I have *seen it working* before it stopped. Oh well.
[21:11] <sudoman> icebreaker: if it is a SOCKS tunnel, you can use tsocks to socksify your connection
[21:11] <blain> sudoman do you really need it?
[21:11] <guntbert> AutumnAi: I wanted to say: post that one line from the pastebin here in the channel - your audience will be much bigger :-)
[21:11] <TheFaioli> sudoman: why do you need it?
[21:11] <sudoman> blain: well i'm wondering if it will fix kernel mode setting for my radeon card
[21:11] <AutumnAi> guntbert, I fail at this IRC asking for help thing ><
[21:11] <blain> ok then you might need it
[21:11] <icebreaker> its not socks...
[21:11] <sudoman> so i'm guessing it might be a dangerous move?
[21:12] <blain> might be
[21:13] <blain> on the other hand if your OS breaks all your problems are solved
[21:13] <wizard_> can someone please help, I need to remote my work machine, I get the message applet not initialized anyone one now how to fix using firefox
[21:13] <wizard_> ANYONE PLEASE
[21:13] <blain> wizard_ ssh?
 I have a problem with my dual boot Toshiba NB205. I'm running Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04. When I tried to update the linux-image from 2.36.32-21 to 2.36.32-23, I would get errors dropping me down to shell. As I'm not terribly savvy with bash, I'd like to be able to use my GUI. It times out and won't boot. I am currently on 2.36.32-22, since it's the working package at the moment. It says that something in /dev (followed by a long series of
[21:13] <guntbert> letters and numbers; I need a screencap) is missing, and I don't know how to fix it other than to not use that package for the time being. Any help?
[21:14] <AutumnAi> guntbert, Oh...that's what you meant...
[21:14] <wizard_> blain, I cant use ssh, need to use the remote logon website
[21:14] <egc> hi all, is there a way to list the files installed by a package from the command line with apt or dpkg?  looked, but am not finding it
[21:14] <guntbert> AutumnAi: its a "bit" long though - but so people can see your problem
[21:14] <blackxored> hi there's an ubuntu app that will show me which country or preferibly which person a phone number is?
[21:14] <wizard_> blain, you no y i get the error I have java installed you no java web start for ubuntu
[21:15] <AutumnAi> Thanks guntbert.
[21:15] <blain> wizard_ about:plugins in firefox
[21:15] <guntbert> AutumnAi: you're welcome :-)
[21:15] <wizard_> blain, none for java whats the terminal command to install thanks
[21:16] <ianto> egc: I believe that "dpkg -L <package-name>" will do it for you
[21:16] <shadows090> Hi all. i was on the last stage of installing freenet, when my laptop shut off (overheated possibly). i tried to uninstall (java -jar uninstaller.jar in the uninstall directory) but the uninstall file is corrupt. can anyone help me remove this so I can reinstall? thanks
[21:16] <blain> !java
[21:16] <Loshki> J11: well, it's good that you did a backup, you might be be able to verify it by doing md5sum - < /dev/sda and compare it to gunzip diskimage.img.gz | md5sum -  (note the dashes) but that last partial block may cause the checksums not to match even though the two images *are* functionally equivalent. There are programs specifically to back up windows installations e.g. ntfsclone which are more efficient (i.e. they don't back up unused
[21:16] <Loshki> space). You might have better luck with one of those...
[21:16] <bazhang> wizard_, lucid?
