[09:57] <stuart_> what's the vim equivalent of GUI text editing in linux?
[09:57] <zhangtong> hi
[09:58] <hunahpu> hello
[09:58] <Slart> stuart_: gvim?
[09:58] <Slart> stuart_: you might want to try cream too
[09:58] <Slart> !info cream
[09:58] <zhangtong> this is the first time i use xchat
[09:58] <Slart> hmm.. that's not the one I wanted..
[09:58] <stuart_> Slart, k thanks
[09:58] <hunahpu> zhangtong: nice, do you have a question?
[09:58] <nikolam> stuart_, I think there is gvim
[09:58] <Moult> is it possible to sync with an iphone os 3?
[09:59] <zhangtong> what's the advantages with other IM clients?
[10:00] <stuart_> what GUI text editors do you guys use anyways
[10:00] <Sini_iPho> Moult, I think that will be possible in Lucid, but that may be off topic here.
[10:00] <Moult> Sini_iPho: is there any information yo ucan point me to?
[10:00] <stuart_> i just want something simple, and i'm bored with vim not able to cut n paste between xwin apps
[10:00] <ZykoticK9> stuart_, gedit is popular
[10:00] <hunahpu> zhangtong: xchat is IRC-oriented, so it's more efficient for IRC rooms, I use cli apps (irssi) but I understand xchat has useful, neat and easy-to-use options. Read the channel topic btw :p
[10:01] <Megadeth> how do I boot into failsafe mode from lilo?
[10:01] <hunahpu> stuart_: I agree with ZykoticK9 gedit has everything you need in a text editor, you can install plug ins and get a very powerful tool.
[10:01] <carma> música
[10:01] <carma> musica
[10:01] <stuart_> k cool thanks
[10:01] <Slart> !english | carma
[10:02] <zhangtong> it's cool!
[10:02] <Sini_iPho> moult, not right now. I'm at work on my phone, as you can see. I'd google lucid and iPhone and see what happens
[10:03] <zhangtong> does anybody use kubuntu?
[10:03] <zhangtong> I've a question
[10:03] <ZykoticK9> zhangtong, i'm sure the people in the #kubuntu channel do
[10:04] <hunahpu> zhangtong: type "/join #kubuntu" in, you'll be able to find the room in the list on the right panel of xchat.
[10:04] <muyaoly> Ha that's a chinese guy.
[10:04] <Sini_iPho> moult, you can try #ubuntu+1, but that channel is more geared for bug-squashing things in Lucid

[10:33] <today> right, has popup : pleas insert a disk in the drive " coz_
[10:33] <coz_> today,  and your disc is already in the drive???
[10:33] <bloopletech> ne7work, That thread says it should work with nothing extra under 9.10
[10:34] <arand> ManDay: Or of all workspaces, if specified
[10:34] <today> as i tall above, i allready insert dist to driver but not jet automount coz_
[10:34] <ne7work> bloopletech: please help :(
[10:34] <today> first, we do this problem now coz_
[10:34] <coz_> today,  well then several things could be wrong....the disc did not burn correctly....or your burner is faulty...
[10:34] <ManDay> arand, I dont see such setting in the settings for Scale!
[10:35] <arand> ManDay: In the keyboard binding settings
[10:35] <coz_> ManDay,  look in the  "Behavior" tab under the Scale plugin
[10:35] <coz_> ManDay,   "no nevermind
[10:35] <arand> ManDay: one key for this workspace, another key for all workspaces
[10:35] <today> no no, coz_ lasttime, i still see APTonCD automount ( then i do anything, i dont know why APToncd not now)
[10:36] <ManDay> arand, coz_ it rearranges the windows tho, instead of just zooming out over all workspaces (as desired)
[10:36] <coz_> today,  not sure then
[10:36] <today> 1st: help me to automount APTonCD
[10:36] <today> 2nd:resolve APTonCD that
[10:36] <today> coz_ E: Faild to moint the cdrom coz_
[10:36] <coz_> ManDay,  you want windows from all workspaces?
[10:36] <ManDay> coz_, indeed
[10:37] <bloopletech> ne7work, hmm, if you open System > Preferences > Sound, is the sound card you want in the Hardware tab?
[10:37] <ManDay> As "EXPO" just rather a plain "zoom-out" on all workspaces, coz_ arand
[10:38] <coz_> ManDay,  ok under the Scale plugin and the Bindings tab  look for    "Intiate Window Picker For all windows"
[10:38] <arand> ManDay: Well, then I don't know, maybe gnome-shell is what you're looking for (replaces compiz completely though...)
[10:38] <coz_> ManDay,  choose edge..mouse..or keybinding
[10:38] <ManDay> gnome-shell? i ve never heard of that
[10:38] <ne7work> bloopletech: yes X-Fi Titanium Series
[10:38] <coz_> ManDay,  that will do what you want
[10:38] <ne7work> bloopletech: default by ubuntu
[10:38] <ManDay> coz_, this rearranges the windows, no?
[10:39] <coz_> ManDay,  rearanges them?
[10:39] <bloopletech> ne7work, and the problem with your card is that you have no sound output?
[10:39] <ManDay> coz_, as I said this is not just a zoom out on all workspaces, coz
[10:39] <coz_> ManDay,  no it does not rearrange the windows...when in scale and you choose a window from another viewport  it will automatically move to that viewport
[10:39] <bloopletech> It looks like ubuntu has successfully detected you sound card
[10:40] <ne7work> bloopletech: Sound works just like the last driver
[10:40] <ManDay> coz_, it does not just zoom-out on all workspaces
[10:40] <ne7work> bloopletech: I want to install the latest driver of creative web site
[10:40] <bloopletech> ne7work, ? What exactly is the issue you are having with your sound card?
[10:40] <arand> ManDay: To me it sound like you're just describing expo...
[10:40] <today> coz_ are you here?
[10:40] <coz_> ManDay,  no scale only shows the "window" opened on all workspaces  aka  viewports
[10:40] <bloopletech> ne7work, Oh
[10:40] <ManDay> arand:
[10:40] <bloopletech> ne7work, Why do you want the latest drivers?
[10:40] <coz_> today, yeah but I am not sure what the problem is
[10:40] <ManDay> Is there an alternative to COMPIZ EXPO which supports the impression that the desktop was a far away background and the windows are close in front of the viewport by not scaling the deskop, panels and icons but ONLY the windows (as a "zoom-out") ??
[10:40] <bloopletech> just asking
[10:40] <ManDay> arand, coz
[10:41] <ne7work> bloopletech: So just like last
[10:41] <ManDay> imagine the desktop wall - when you move through it the desktop is a static background
[10:41] <ManDay> i want that for expo too
[10:41] <today> coz_ i restart pc, and insert APTonCD again, it ok
[10:41] <coz_> today,  ok cool
[10:42] <today> now, can you continue to help me coz_
[10:42] <coz_> today,  well all that I told you is all you need to do :)

[10:42] <bloopletech> ne7work, ? Ok then. So, could you make a pastie of what happens when you run make and then sudo make install?
[10:43] <today> wait a minutes: its must :/media/APTonCD         "( with more blank, i dont know why) coz_
[10:43] <arand> ManDay: Hmm, I'm afraid I don't get what you're looking for.
[10:44] <mzunguu> hi ,
[10:44] <today> coz_: now Could you set a APTonCD mount to cdrom , or cdroomXX?
[10:44] <ne7work> bloopletech: ne7work@ne7work-desktop:~/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00$ sudo make install

[10:44] <ManDay> arand, you know desktop wall, right? where panels and desktop remain static while switching?!
[10:44] <sasori2501> hey all, how do i save a copy of my display settings?  plugging in a monitor to eeepc, wabnt to save settings first though
[10:44] <coz_> today,  not sure guy..... if it is not automounting  I dont know what the problem is
[10:45] <arand> ManDay: Indeed.
[10:45] <bloopletech> ne7work, as I said, please make a pastie (http://pasite.org/) of what happens, and can you please paste *the results of make* as well as the results of sudo make install
[10:45] <mzunguu> guys.., you have moment , i've got  a problem i guess.., i have had ecryptfs , my home directory and now it doesnt allow pidgin to log from loglist..?
[10:45] <bloopletech> sorry the URL should be http://pastie.org/
[10:45] <mzunguu> even when i unmount and mount again.., doesnt run
[10:46] <ne7work> bloopletech: wait
[10:46] <ManDay> arand, can you comprehend the impression that while using the desktop wall the desktop can be interpreted as a far-away background, the panels as a HUD to the viewport and the windows in the layer of the viewport and by swithcing you move the viewport?
[10:48] <ne7work> bloopletech: pasite.org no open?
[10:48] <bloopletech> ne7work, I corrected the url to http://pastie.org/
[10:48] <ne7work> bloopletech: and now paste all after make and make install?
[10:49] <bloopletech> ne7work, Yes
[10:49] <ne7work> bloopletech: how to give you link?
[10:49] <bloopletech> ne7work, You can paste the link in the address bar right into here, that's fine
[10:49] <Sia--> ne7work, sudo make install
[10:50] <Sia--> or usee paste.debian.net
[10:50] <arand> ManDay: Hmm, yes.
[10:50] <ne7work> bloopletech: http://pastie.org/913877
[10:50] <Sia--> or dpaste.org
[10:52] <bloopletech> ne7work, Your problem is that the driver is not compiling properly
[10:52] <sasori2501> hey all.  going to pug in a monitor to eeepc 1000h.  how do i backup the display settings??
[10:52] <bloopletech> According to this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304627 one person found a solution to the error you're getting
[10:52] <stuart_> i wanna make my USB drive bootable, is tehre a  makeboot in ubuntu?
[10:52] <bloopletech> ne7work, See the last post in that thread by 'rosetto'
[10:52] <Sia--> stuart_, yes
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> stuart_:  the grub commands can install grub to it.. or syslinux can.. depoends on your needs
[10:53] <ManDay> arand, do you now see my problem with how expo impairs this impression?
[10:53] <ne7work> bloopletech: one second :P
[10:53] <bloopletech> ne7work, it involves removing the line '#include <sound/driver.h>' from the files xfi.c and ctac.h
[10:53] <ManDay> sasori2501, what do you mean by backup?
[10:53] <stuart_> what's the makeboot command in ubuntu?
[10:53] <ne7work> bloopletech: where?
[10:53] <bloopletech> And then commenting out this line in xfi.h: //card = snd_card_new(index[dev], id[dev], THIS_MODULE, 0);
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> stuart_:  what are you wantign to boot?
[10:54] <stuart_> all i wanna do is run gparted from a bootable USB, i have everything now except for making the USB bootable
[10:54] <arand> ManDay: Well, that it zooms out the desktop, right?
[10:54] <Sia--> stuart_, use DD
[10:54] <bloopletech> ne7work, in that folder you are running make in
[10:54] <ne7work> bloopletech: where is the last post See the last post in that thread by 'rosetto'
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> stuart_:  how dod you get everything else on it?
[10:54] <sasori2501> ManDay: backing up the x settings?  last time i did this the result was that the display settings would get messed up sometimes at random times if the monitor was not plugged in anymore
[10:54] <ne7work> bloopletech: ?
[10:54] <ManDay> arand, yes, and the panels, but i see you get the idea
[10:55] <bloopletech> ne7work, scroll to the bottom of that page
[10:55] <sasori2501> ManDay:  thats why this time i would like to backup the configuration setting first
[10:55] <ManDay> sasori2501, i too got an eeepc1000h with an external monitor and i dont know what you mean

[10:55] <stuart_> Dr_Willis, followed the gparted tutorial on making a bootable USB, but they asked me to use "makeboot /dev/myusb" and i don' thave makeboot command
[10:55] <stuart_> will try checking out dd
[10:55] <bloopletech> sasori2501, that will copy your X configuration
[10:55] <ne7work> bloopletech: give me link please
[10:55] <ManDay> your eeepc has a key on Fn-F8 which changes through modes. toggle a few times and youll get the correct setting - but unless you are on lucid be careful because it will crash your kernel
[10:56] <bloopletech> The thread I linked to last: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1304627 has one page, I'm referring to post #9
[10:56] <sasori2501> ManDay: when you unplug the external monitor from the unit dioes it ever randomly have display issues, like random lines, and weird stuff on screen?  especially with video files
[10:56] <ManDay> or at least freeze everything
[10:56] <sasori2501> ??
[10:56] <maximus_> well connected linux and winxp systems with a crossover cable and ping works, cant connect to winxp via telnet. now how to do file sharing
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> stuart_:  never heard of that specific command.   Unless its a Grub specific shell command.
[10:56] <ManDay> sasori2501, no, it doesnt. it doesnt do anything automatically.
[10:56] <ManDay> i will have to revert to internal monitor by hand
[10:56] <stuart_> anyone know how to make USB bootable from linux?
[10:56] <maximus_> well connected linux and winxp systems with a crossover cable and ping works, can connect to winxp via telnet. now how to do file sharing
[10:56] <arand> ManDay: And... You are looking for something that will affect (show all? switch between?) the windows but not the desktop & panels
[10:56] <ManDay> and if I do so, at least on karmic, everything goes frozen
[10:57] <ne7work> bloopletech: i can't find sound/driver?
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> stuart_:  give the url to the tutorial - sounds liek it may be out of date or missing steps
[10:57] <ManDay> arand, based upon my impression of desktop wall i would like the "viewport with the hud" to zoom out so I see all windows - the "far away background" should stay unaffected
[10:57] <mnmnb> I get this error -GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem. - so no sound...
[10:57] <fuzzybunny69y> hey everyone does anyone know of any good programs that can find duplicate photos? I am trying to organize my photo collection and have duplicate photos scattered all over the place
[10:58] <maximus_> any help ppl?
[10:58] <bloopletech> ne7work, yes the make script you ran reports it can't find sound/driver.h. If you read rosetto's instructions it details what to change to attempt to resolve this error
[10:58] <manas> hey
[10:58] <manas> the firefox is unable to find the missing plugins
[10:58] <manas> what to do
[10:59] <bloopletech> manas: what plugin is missing?
[10:59] <manas> ive just upgraded to ubuntu 10
[10:59] <manas> flash i suppose
[10:59] <manas> cause im unable to play videos on youtube
[10:59] <coz_> manas,  did you install  ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[10:59] <manas> nop
[10:59] <sasori2501> ManDay: very weird, i dont know why that happened last time.  and i am on 9.04 nbr, jaunty, so i should be ok.  very odd though
[10:59] <manas> how do i do that
[10:59] <manas> ??
[11:00] <bloopletech> manas: Use the Ubuntu Software Center, search for flash and souble click the flash plugin from adobe
[11:00] <ne7work> bloopletech: oh please I am new to Linux
[11:00] <sasori2501> bloopletech: thank you for that, and i will copy and paste it now
[11:00] <ManDay> sasori2501, try lucid. everything will get better with lucid.
[11:00] <manas> yeah i can do that
[11:00] <manas> but i want firefox to do that
[11:00] <manas>  i mean it always does it for me, after i upgraded to this new ubuntu its not doing it
[11:00] <bloopletech> sasori2501, Please note that your X configureation isn't the only thing associated with your display settings
[11:01] <manas> i think i need to enable some software sourse or something
[11:01] <stuart_> ah screw that i'll just download the .iso
[11:01] <arand> ManDay: No, I'm sorry I don't get how your impression differs from scale for all viewports...
[11:01] <kutsumanimi> why does the clipboard keep emptying itself?
[11:01] <ManDay> arand, ok, ill draw you a picture...
[11:01] <bloopletech> manas: Well that would be a firefox issue, not an ubuntu issue AFAIK
[11:01] <kutsumanimi> and how do I stop it from doing that?
[11:01] <coz_> arand,  I believe he wants something like scale but 'for" viewports  not windows on viewports
[11:01] <manas> naah
[11:01] <manas> i dont think so
[11:02] <manas> when i was updating to this lucid ubuntu
[11:02] <sasori2501> ManDay: i will give it a shot when it is released, but i SERIOSULY hope that desktop switcher is back
[11:02] <sasori2501> bloopletech: hmm is there anything else i should back up then???
[11:02] <manas> it said that its  disabeling some software sources and that il have to enable them later
[11:02] <bloopletech> sasori2501, Sorry, there may be, but I'm not sure where they are located
[11:03] <bloopletech> sasori2501, it would depend on what you are changing
[11:03] <coz_> manas,  also you may want to ask in  #ubuntu+1 which is the lucid channel right now
[11:03] <sireorion> Hello i have installed httpd but where should i put my html files?
[11:03] <bloopletech> manas: Well if it's referring to Aptitude sources, then you can change that from the Ubuntu SOftware Center preferences
[11:03] <riverside> anyone knows how to make the evolution just keeps minimized?
[11:04] <ne7work> bloopletech: please :(
[11:04] <h0schi> hi there :)

[11:04] <halfie> Hi, what does "pi" means in the results of "aptitude search python-urlgrabber" ?
[11:04] <halfie> "i" means installed

[11:05] <Greek-Boy> I can not locate /dev/ttyUSB0 even after I installed  libusb-1.0-0 and libusb-1.0-0-dev. Please help...
[11:06] <h0schi> does anyone know if i could set ubuntu/linux to act as mass storage device? so i could f.e. share a bit of my filesystem (or a raw device) to my usb-only tv
[11:06] <sireorion> how do i search a file?
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> sireorion:  'locate filename' is one way
[11:06] <ikonia> h0schi: network sharing, like NFS and Samba will work fine
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> sireorion:  if your update database is update
[11:07] <sireorion> okey
[11:07] <sireorion> tnx Dr_Willis
[11:07] <h0schi> ikonia on my usb only tv? nope sorry
[11:07] <ikonia> h0schi: then why are you asking
[11:07] <h0schi> i want to plug my computer?s usb cable into my tv and let the tv browse my computers filesystem
[11:08] <ikonia> h0schi: no
[11:08] <Jadoza> h00k, good luck with that
[11:08] <Jadoza> h0schi,
[11:08] <Sakara> h0schi, its used to update your TV fireware software
[11:08] <Jadoza> too man people in here ... :)
[11:08] <Sakara> h0schi, not a good idea plugging your computer in there
[11:09] <Sakara> h0schi, if your TV has a VGA input you could plug your pc into that and use your TV as a large monitor
[11:09] <theadmin> Does anyone have a userID string for Firefox 3.5.8 on Karmic?
[11:09] <ikonia> theadmin: userid string ?
[11:09] <brian> Hey, has anyone gotten gnome shell to run on Lucid Beta 2?
[11:09] <ikonia> brian: lucid is discused in #ubuntu+1 channel
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> h0schi:  there are some tv's that can play video files from usb/sd/other things.. but ive not seen a lot of them
[11:10] <theadmin> ikonia: Well, ahem. Useragent string is what i meant
[11:10] <h0schi> let me explain by example, i can put my normal 1TB usb harddisk into my tv and watch videos/photos from this device. i think what this tiny controller on that hard disk can, linux must also can do (usb slave mode mass storage device or so)
[11:10] <Jadoza> h0schi, If your TV has hdmi input and your computer dvi output you can just connect them
[11:10] <ikonia> h0schi: you can't do what you want to do
[11:11] <h0schi> ikonia why should this not work?
[11:11] <ABOANAS93> how to setup my ubuntu for server?
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> h0schi:  becuse  usb to usb..dosent work that way by default
[11:11] <ikonia> h0schi: because that's not how devices work
[11:11] <ikonia> ABOANAS93: what do you want to serve
[11:12] <ManDay> arand, just for you: http://s1.directupload.net/images/100411/y8e5zg5i.jpg
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> h0schi:  i DID see some usb-wireless gizmo that you could plug into the tv.. andit could access shared files on a pc on the network.
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> h0schi:  but i dont think its avail for sale yet.
[11:12] <h0schi> okay, android also does this
[11:13] <h0schi> when i plug my android phone into my pc using usb, i can browse the filesystem as ususal mass storage device
[11:13] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: gizmo? That's some VPN system
[11:13] <ikonia> h0schi: you can't do what you want to do with your LinuxPC
[11:13] <lang882000> Any body can help me, how to connec host ubuntu with guest another OS in virtualbox
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> h0schi:  because phones have a 'usb device mode' and a a 'usb data' mode.
[11:13] <theadmin> lang882000: You need to install Guest addons
[11:13] <trijntje> Hi all, how can I copy a password from the default keyring? I want export my wepkey without typing it again
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  this was a usb plug ya put in your PS3 or xbox or whatever and it let them access files from a pc.
[11:14] <h0schi> ikonia, i already read you don?t think it works, but you didn?t tell me the reaseon
[11:14] <ikonia> h0schi: because that's not how device files work in Linux
[11:14] <theadmin> Do all the device files have a mimetype of inode/blockdevice by the way?
[11:15] <ikonia> theadmin: not really a mime type, but they are character or block devices normally
[11:15] <lang882000> theadmin : after install Guest addon, what can i do..?
[11:15] <arand> ManDay: Hmm, that looks really nice, I don't think I've seen anything just like that I'm afraid, (you should suggest it to the compiz devs ;), for simply the visual effect (but probably not the functional) desktop cube with 3d windows will give something vaguely similar... But no, I don't think there's anything just like that..
[11:15] <theadmin> ikonia: That's what Nautilus shows after mimetype
[11:15] <theadmin> lang882000: Read the manuals. Never really expiremented. Also, what's your native language?
[11:15] <ikonia> theadmin: probably just a wording bug
[11:16] <ManDay> arand, yes im waiting in #compiz-dev for someone ;)
[11:16] <lang882000> theadmin : thanks I,m indonesian

[11:17] <DDAZZA> Hi, I have a ATI HD 4650 Is there a driver which supports this?
[11:17] <theadmin> ikonia: Thanks, that's the one... those language codes... can't know all of them
[11:17] <ikonia> theadmin: easy to be mistaken
[11:17] <dan_> hi

[11:22] <theadmin> manas: You might need to disable "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications", it makes firefox act weirdly

[11:25] <ebaeppler> hi there
[11:25] <Curly_Q> Theadmin, what are the benefits of using Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions, MIME besides making life more miserable for users. I remember having to download a MIME converter to convert MIME.
[11:25] <ebaeppler> i need help with my internal 3g adapter from qualcomm
[11:25] <ebaeppler> how can i enable it?
[11:26] <agike> ubottu: it sounds as if should solve my problem too - but right now I need to sleep on it .. zzzzz .. Thanks !
[11:26] <erUSUL> ebaeppler: Check if Network manager supports it. System>Preferences>Network Configuration
[11:26] <tertitten> Hi, I'm on ubuntu right now, I would like to install ubuntustudio, can I simply install ubuntu-studio from synaptics and then have all the features of ubuntu studio ? Like rt kernel etc... ?
[11:26] <erUSUL> ebaeppler: the last tab is for 3g modems
[11:26] <theadmin> tertitten: Yep yep
[11:27] <tertitten> theadmin, ok thanks :)
[11:27] <agike> ubottu: Arrgh .. don't be modest ! You're putting yourself down.
[11:27] <nokia3510> Hello everyone
[11:27] <erUSUL> tertitten: there is no single ubuntu-studio package there is a few of them. i think you would need to install more then one
[11:27] <ebaeppler> hmm i have only network connections
[11:27] <ebaeppler> and there is a tab called mobile broadband
[11:27] <ebaeppler> and i know it supports

[11:28] <theadmin> erUSUL: lol what's that factoid? o_O
[11:28] <ebaeppler> not funny..
[11:28] <erUSUL> theadmin: it was better a few weeks back
[11:28] <nokia3510> I have a bunch of boxes I remotely admin, having Nvidia cards ranging from 5500 to 7300, using the proprietary driver provided in the distro - Karmic for the moment.
[11:28] <erUSUL> theadmin: they changed it .... :/
[11:28] <manas> ive just made an account on mizilla thunderbird for my gmail. This time i see extra folders on the left panes for my gmail everthing
[11:28] <manas> how cani get rid of them
[11:29] <nokia3510> My question is what will happen after dist-upgrading to Lucid in terms of driver configuration
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> nokia3510:  so far - its not been a problem on my 2 nvidia machines
[11:29] <nokia3510> will the proprietary driver be preserved/updated to lucid or
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> nokia3510:  it kept the prop. drivers
[11:29] <tertitten> erUSUL, yeah there was a few packages tagged as ubuntu-studio*, I'm installing all of them :)
[11:29] <nokia3510> it will switch to Nouveau
[11:29] <agike> ubottu: Cheers, you have made my day .. such efficient and apposite advice ! Good night.
[11:29] <arvind_khadri> nokia3510, dist-upgrade wont take you to lucid
[11:30] <Curly_Q> Greets to Dr Willis.  :)
[11:30] <tertitten> I might need to update grub manually to get the rt kernel ?
[11:30] <theadmin> !botabuse | agike
[11:30] <Curly_Q> Greets to Theadmin.  :)
[11:30] <theadmin> Curly_Q: hm?
[11:30] <nokia3510> arvind_khadri, I'm doing it for some years ;) it will, changing the sources.list reference from karmic to lucid
[11:31] <wiesaw> cześć
[11:31] <nokia3510> been doing that since early Hoary
[11:31] <theadmin> !cz | wiesaw
[11:31] <nokia3510> Thanks Dr_Willis, that's somehow reassuring
[11:31] <wiesaw> straszna tragedia
[11:32] <arvind_khadri> nokia3510, that way it will.
[11:32] <nokia3510> Dr_Willis, any special issues regarding the upgrade ? Nvidia only related I mean
[11:32] <agike> theadmin: Hey, that was a compliment ..
[11:32] <nokia3510> for the rest i can take care, pretty much :)
[11:33] <Curly_Q> Just out of curiosity, I haven't used GIMP in a while. Is it comparable to Adope Photoshop CS4 or is there something available that will emulate CS4?
[11:33] <agike> wiesaw: trudno, zycie idzie naprzod .. jakos
[11:33] <Dr_Willis> nokia3510:  the beta has had a fewissues.. it kicks into low-res mode then asks to update/fix things..  but it did fix them :)
[11:33] <theadmin> Curly_Q: GIMP is fine. You can run Photoshop with WINE though but don't recommend it
[11:33] <arvind_khadri> nokia3510, could you take it to #ubuntu+1, thanks
[11:34] <RainbowEyes> oh.. since I've been highlighted anyway, is there a way to draw objects in GIMP?
[11:34] <rory_> can anyone tell me where the channel user list is on xchat?
[11:34] <Curly_Q> Theadmin, I have CS4 but just wondered about the comparison.
[11:34] <RainbowEyes> like squares or lines or ellipses?
[11:34] <nokia3510> Dr_Willis, IIRC, that's been always an issue
[11:34] <nokia3510> arvind_khadri, thanks, didn't knew about it
[11:34] <arvind_khadri> RainbowEyes, #gimp
[11:34] <rory_> haha
[11:34] <theadmin> RainbowEyes: I managed to draw an ellipse with a circular selection and then "fill selection" :P
[11:34] <RainbowEyes> yeah... that's not really good enough imo
[11:34] <nokia3510> Dr_Willis, thanks for your input
[11:34] <RainbowEyes> but thanks
[11:35] <Curly_Q> Theadmin, I just cannot see the justification of using Adobe or for that matter any software that logs into  HOME BASE STATION anytime you click on the Adobe Icon, etc.
[11:36] <vrxchk> a raster image program is not the best tool for drawing vector polygons
[11:37] <Curly_Q> That would be like sending an email and someone else gets it too.
[11:38] <Manii> hi, how do u kill x server forcefully
[11:38] <frogzoo> when the eth0 i/f drops link, it loses its IP address - horribly annoying - any way to stop this happening?
[11:38] <theadmin> Manii: sudo service gdm restart
[11:38] <erUSUL> Manii: sudo stop gdm && sudo pkill X
[11:38] <frogzoo> Manii: ctrl alt backspace
[11:38] <Slart> Manii: ctrl+alt+backspace if you've enabled it
[11:38] <theadmin> Or Ctrl+PrtSc+K :P
[11:38] <erUSUL> !dontzap | frogzoo
[11:38] <arand> Manii: Or alt+sysreq+k
[11:38] <Manii> theadmin, say I cant access the terminal, wasnt there a short cut
[11:39] <Slart> Manii: I suppose pkill -9 gdm   might work too
[11:39] <theadmin> Manii: Alt+SysRQ+K or Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[11:39]  * Slart writes down the Alt+SysRQ+K shortcut
[11:39] <Manii> ok basically, I installed the mini.iso and all the packages needed for x to start
[11:39] <Slart> isn't there a list of those somewhere?
[11:40] <Manii> I started it and now cant exit it
[11:40] <theadmin> Slart: It kills all apps in current virtual terminal :D
[11:40] <theadmin> Slart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key
[11:40] <Manii> theadmin, the prtsc one didnt work either
[11:40] <Slart> theadmin: nice.. there's lots of them =)
[11:41] <Manii> none of these shortcuts are working o.O
[11:41] <tom967> hey ho
[11:42] <Manii> all I haz is black screen with black x mouse pointer
[11:42] <theadmin> Manii: Sounds like something's frozen, try Alt+SysRQ+REISUB
[11:43] <theadmin> REISUB = Reboot Even If System Utterly Broken
[11:43] <Manii> all those buttons?
[11:44] <theadmin> Manii: Yes, you hold Alt+SysRQ and type in reisub
[11:44] <iceroot> how to remove installed kernels which are no longer needed (< uname -r)? without removing all by hand or removing them from /boot/
[11:44] <Manii> theadmin, nope, im trying to get back to terminal
[11:44] <Manii> there is no gdm if that changes anything
[11:44] <Curly_Q> Manii it sounds like your screen saver is set to BLANK. Try to get to it somehow and change the time settings.
[11:45] <arand> iceroot: uninstall the related image and headers packages
[11:45] <arvind_khadri> iceroot, aptitude remove linux-image-$VERSION and linux-headers-$VERSION
[11:45] <iceroot> arand: without removing all by hand
[11:45] <Manii> Curly_Q, I dont have any screensaver at all
[11:45] <monokrome> Does anyone know how I can apply a patch like this in a directory? http://lophus.org/~fred/mod_wsgi_patch.diff
[11:45] <Curly_Q> Manii, then, in that case it may be your Monitor Resolution settings.
[11:46] <monokrome> I tried: patch -p3 mod_wsgi_patch.diff
[11:46] <Manii> Curly_Q, I dont think so, my mouse still moves the black x pointer and it doesnt go past the edge
[11:46] <theadmin> iceroot: maybe something like... for f in $(dpkg -l | grep 'linux-image' ^versiontokeep) | sudo apt-get remove $f ?
[11:46] <arand> iceroot: computer janitor might be able to do it, make sure not to unstall anything else though, computer janitor has a tendency to "recommend" uninstalling all kinds of things..
[11:46] <theadmin> err kinda messed it up a bit
[11:47] <iceroot> theadmin: arand ok
[11:47] <Curly_Q> Manii perhaps the black you are seeing is a black .img or whatever.
[11:47] <Manii> Curly_Q, lol no, that would be funny though
[11:47] <erUSUL> monokrome: any reason to use -p3 ?
[11:47] <Curly_Q> Manii can you right click the mouse and see anything?
[11:48] <Manii> Curly_Q, its a basic install and i just installed xorg and typed startx, there is no visual program at all, no DE no firefox nothing
[11:48] <monokrome> erUSUL: Only out of my own ignorance :D
[11:48] <erUSUL> monokrome: try without any -p option first and do it with --dry-run so nothing is actually done

[11:49] <erUSUL> Greek-Boy: well you need an actual usb serial hardware too
[11:49] <Curly_Q> Manii I had something like that happen to me a while ago. I installed Ubuntu and the screen was just an image without any use of clicking on of the mouse. Then I installed Kubuntu and I got use of the screen and mouse clicks.
[11:49] <erUSUL> monokrome: are you sure you need the patch ?
[11:49] <monokrome> ah
[11:49] <monokrome> I reversed the patch
[11:49] <monokrome> Then I reapplied it, and it compiled.
[11:49] <monokrome> Weird!
[11:50] <monokrome> My issue was that I forgot to use "<"
[11:50] <Greek-Boy> erUSUL: My device is plugged in
[11:50] <monokrome> Thank you, erUSUL.
[11:50] <Curly_Q> It could be that there was not enough RAM or no support for my video card with Ubuntu but it worked for Kubuntu.
[11:51] <hardwired> do I need to add cooling paste to the CPU, when using a boxed i3 530? The contact area of the cooler that came in the box looks much smaller than the surface area of the CPU.
[11:51] <erUSUL> Greek-Boy: which device it is ? a usb to serial converter?
[11:51] <erUSUL> hardwired: ##hardware
[11:51] <Greek-Boy> erUSUL: It's a smartcard reader. It's USB
[11:51] <hardwired> erUSUL: thanks
[11:52] <iceroot> hardwired: its only important that the DIE is cooled, further informations you will get in ##hardware
[11:53] <fazel> hi
[11:53] <Gimmepatiencequi> hello
[11:53] <erUSUL> Greek-Boy: not familiar with that kind of hardware... but anyway it is allways good to swee what the kernel says when you plug the device ... do « tailf /var/log/messages » on a terminal and plug the card reader
[11:53] <hardwired> iceroot: k. I'll ask there. The thing is, I don't see where the dye is or how big it is.

[11:54] <theadmin> ichigo: Did the CD burn normally?
[11:55] <EricJ> theadmin: thing is, windows 7 seems to be creating extra partitions on other drives than the designated.

[13:05] <ziga_> sure..
[13:06] <llutz> budmaddock: in bash better use $(cmd) than ugly backticks
[13:06] <The_Ball> I've been stupid and hosed my glx drivers by using the NVidia binary installer. I want to go back to xorg's nv driver. How can I reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx "inplace"?
[13:06] <||green||_> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[13:06] <||green||_> wont end
[13:06] <frxstrem> ziga_: join ##php
[13:07] <||green||_> any 1 help
[13:07] <ziga_> ok i will! thx
[13:07] <||green||_> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
[13:07] <budmaddock>  llutz: true, and it will be easier to read as well.
[13:07] <||green||_> wont end
[13:07] <gucko> guys where can I find a shared folder in Ubuntu? I used Vbox with ubuntu host machine and ubuntu guest machine
[13:07] <psycho_oreos> !repeat | ||green||_
[13:07] <gucko> I need to find the shared folder in the hosted machine
[13:07] <||green||_> :(
[13:08] <psycho_oreos> ||green||_: I'd check with something like top, maybe it hung
[13:08] <psycho_oreos> gucko: check via mount
[13:08] <frxstrem> okay, so I installed some updates in the update manager, but then the system crashed during the installation and I had to reboot - now the updates aren't there anymore. does this mean that they we're installed successfully or not?
[13:08] <gucko> psycho_oreos: ?!
[13:08] <gucko> psycho_oreos: mount share_folder?
[13:08] <psycho_oreos> frxstrem: probably yes, first check updates then see if there's any new entries
[13:09] <buniek> #ubuntu.pl
[13:09] <psycho_oreos> gucko: no, the command mount itself
[13:09] <frxstrem> psycho_oreos: okay, thanks :)
[13:10] <psycho_oreos> frxstrem: no worries
[13:10] <Peanut> jpds: thanks, removing libnss3-0d did it for me.
[13:11] <zamba> i want to replace my hard drive with a new one.. after plugging both in and copied over the files, how can i then set up the mbr using grub?
[13:11] <zamba> while still running on the old drive?
[13:11] <nocturnal_> Anyone?
[13:11] <jpds> Peanut: Feel free to contribute to the bug repot.
[13:11] <amy_> hello
[13:11] <Peanut> jpds: well, I just did what the bug-report suggested, would my 'me too' contribute much?
[13:12] <psycho_oreos> zamba: why don't you dd from the old drive to the new one instead? it'll probably be a hell lot easier
[13:12] <amy_> i would like some help with the internet securities
[13:12] <jpds> Peanut: Clicking on the "Affects me too" would help show how many people are affected.
[13:12] <zamba> psycho_oreos: oh? that will also bring over the mbr?
[13:12] <amy_> My facebook have been hacked by this person called DRIP KING
[13:12] <zamba> psycho_oreos: problem is that partitions are changed as well
[13:12] <llutz> zamba: "man grub-install"
[13:12] <psycho_oreos> zamba: it will duplicate the disk as it is in entire-ness
[13:13] <amy_> this person has changed nearly all my details and plus he also went on to my email and changed to his name
[13:13] <psycho_oreos> zamba: which version of ubuntu?
[13:13] <llutz> !ot |amy_:
[13:13] <zamba> psycho_oreos: karmic
[13:13] <nocturnal_> Hi, when i try to install Ubuntu Netbook remix on my MSI Wind, it starts to install from the USB but then drops to shell, and stalls...Anyone know what i need to do?
[13:13] <amy_> llutz: whats !ot?
[13:14] <psycho_oreos> !grub2| zamba
[13:14] <llutz> amy_: read what ubottu told you
[13:14] <amy_> #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:14] <nocturnal_> amy what he is saying is, this is not the place for facebook related help, this is for ubuntu only, the operating systems (linux)
[13:14] <zamba> psycho_oreos: that too late now.. i've already copied over all the files
[13:14] <amy_> ok, where is the windows page
[13:14] <amy_> windows for the support
[13:15] <zamba> llutz: grub-install /dev/sdb ? do i have to do that while in chroot with the new drive?
[13:15] <amy_> ##windows
[13:15] <llutz> zamba: yes
[13:15] <zamba> llutz: meaning chroot /disk2 and then grub-install /dev/sdb?
[13:15] <amy_> is there a window support?
[13:15] <zamba> hm..
[13:15] <psycho_oreos> amy_: add /join in front of the channel name
[13:15] <nocturnal_> amy_ go there and ask, they may be able to help you ....
[13:15] <bazhang> amy_, /join ##windows
[13:15] <zamba> "/dev/sdb does not have any corresponding BIOS drive."
[13:16] <zamba> llutz: when i tried grub-install /dev/sdb
[13:16] <gucko1> guys I mounted a shared folder but I can't see it on the Desktop. I can find tho in the mount point.
[13:16] <psycho_oreos> zamba: try using grub instead
[13:16] <gucko1> how to make it visible on the Desktop?
[13:16] <zamba> psycho_oreos: just 'grub'?
[13:17] <psycho_oreos> zamba: yes
[13:17] <psycho_oreos> gucko1: you make a shortcut?
[13:17] <nocturnal_> wow this was a lot of help, wasn't even noticed, thanks for the help guys really appreciate it!
[13:17] <zamba> psycho_oreos: that launches the interactive shell for grub, right?
[13:17] <psycho_oreos> zamba: yes
[13:17] <gucko1> psycho_oreos: mounted partitions usually appear as partitions on the Desktop
[13:17] <zamba> psycho_oreos: what do i do then?
[13:17] <psycho_oreos> nocturnal_: I don't know much about your problem to be honest
[13:17] <gucko1> psycho_oreos: with partitions icons ;)
[13:18] <psycho_oreos> gucko1: yes but not all the time, so why don't you manually create one?
[13:18] <psycho_oreos> zamba: umm learn grub commands
[13:18] <zamba> psycho_oreos: oh, man, you're a big help
[13:18] <zamba> psycho_oreos: just admit it, you have absolutely no idea
[13:18] <psycho_oreos> zamba: you didn't even follow the !grub2 guide no?
[13:19] <zamba> psycho_oreos: i can't be installing grub2 now? i've been using grub all the time
[13:19] <psycho_oreos> or you're just lazy and wants people to feed thihngs into you?
[13:19] <venuz> hi all
[13:19] <psycho_oreos> things*
[13:19] <psycho_oreos> karmic included grub2 by default
[13:19] <zamba> psycho_oreos: and i'm in-between changing the hard drive.. in single user mode.. starting to install new programs now is just stupid.. i need to make due with what i have
[13:19] <llutz> does grub2 still have an interactive shell?
[13:20] <psycho_oreos> zamba: so you can't follow the guide mentioned in !grub2
[13:20] <psycho_oreos> llutz: dunno but I'd imagine it should
[13:20] <toehio2> Dose anyone know ho to solve this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1319847
[13:20] <llutz> psycho_oreos: i doubt it
[13:21] <MalconRox_> i have had a problem performing the update 8.10->9.04 ( The clean up process has been skipped) Everything looks fine, but the space used in hard disc
[13:21] <zamba> getting errors all the time
[13:21] <zamba> "The file /boot/grub/stage2 not read correctly."
[13:22] <zamba> but i'll try rebooting into it
[13:22] <llutz> zamba: that is grub-legacy not grub2
[13:22] <zamba> llutz: so how can i use grub-legacy to fix my mbr?
[13:22] <zamba> this was so much easier with lilo :)
[13:23] <psycho_oreos> aptitude install lilo ?
[13:23] <llutz> zamba: idk, sorry. have you read !grub2
[13:23] <llutz> !grub2
[13:23] <zamba> llutz: yeah, but that's for grub2.. i'm using grub-legacy
[13:23] <llutz> zamba: oh missed that.
[13:23] <llutz> zamba: start "grub"
[13:23] <llutz> zamba: "find /boot/grub/stage2"
[13:24] <llutz> zamba: it should give you something like hdX,Y
[13:24] <llutz> zamba: "root hdX,Y"
[13:24] <llutz> zamba: setup (hd0)
[13:24] <zamba> llutz: thanks a bunch!
[13:24] <psycho_oreos> llutz: more like setup (hd1)
[13:25] <zamba> but you mean setup (hd1) now, irght?
[13:25] <AnxiousNut> read somewhere that there is an application that would install [configure, make, make install] programs can anybody tell me the name?
[13:25] <zamba> right*
[13:25] <llutz> zamba: oops, right
[13:25] <zamba> and root (hd0,1), right?
[13:25] <zamba> my root is at /dev/sdb2 now
[13:25] <llutz> zamba: whatever find gives you
[13:25] <overmind> AnxiousNut: You mean build-essential?
[13:25] <zamba> the old drive is at /dev/sda, the new is on /dev/sdb
[13:25] <psycho_oreos> (hd1,1)
[13:25] <geekphreak> evening folks
[13:26] <zamba> psycho_oreos: ok, so it shouldn't point to the "future" root?
[13:26] <llutz> zamba: "find /boot/grub/stage2"          <- this should give you the "root (hdX,Y)" values
[13:26] <psycho_oreos> zamba: grub needs to look for its own root directory for stage files
[13:26] <zamba> llutz: got two of them, yeah
[13:26] <AnxiousNut> overmind:no, a gui app that would run these commands on behalf of you and install the app
[13:26] <zamba> llutz: the old (current) one and the new, future one
[13:26] <rafal_> co to wogole jest?
[13:26] <psycho_oreos> and the future root is hd1
[13:26] <zamba> llutz: (hd0,0) and (hd1,1)
[13:26] <bazhang> !pl | rafal_
[13:27] <llutz> zamba: use the future root
[13:27] <psycho_oreos> which was what I said before
[13:27] <zamba> psycho_oreos: ok, so grub needs the future root? not what will be the current in the future :)
[13:27] <zamba> psycho_oreos: the way lilo works
[13:27] <zamba> hehe, thanks
[13:27] <psycho_oreos> zamba: no if you point it to current root, it'll depend on current root to boot new drive, which is a bad idea
[13:27] <llutz> zamba: lilo is ugly :) i had to use it yesterday after nearly 10 yrs again...
[13:27] <banshee_> Where is the autostart.sh file?
[13:28] <zamba> let's try a reboot now
[13:28] <geekphreak> llutz: lilo is good too though :)
[13:28] <zamba> this is maybe a stupid question, but how can i boot directly off a hard drive connected through usb?
[13:28] <psycho_oreos> should be possible
[13:28] <llutz> geekphreak: not if oyu can use grub
[13:28] <geekphreak> llutz:  personal choice i guess :)
[13:28] <llutz> you*
[13:29] <llutz> geekphreak: sure
[13:29] <zamba> oh, looks like it's booting
[13:29] <psycho_oreos> lilo is still good, there's still things that grub can't do such as EFI based BIOS and animated boot
[13:29] <zaxonspox> zamba select in BIOS or F12 or F8
[13:29] <miracle2k>  is there *some* way to have ssh not prompt for a password? I know about public key auth, but in this particular case, I can't put a key on the server.
[13:29] <llutz> psycho_oreos: thats why i said "if you can use grub". you cannot always
[13:29] <geekphreak> much easier to uninstal lilo
[13:29] <MalconRox_> how to cleanup the system if the cleanup stage was skipped?
[13:29] <banshee_> What file do I need to add this line to, nitrogen --restore & to make it happen on startup?
[13:30] <psycho_oreos> llutz: well yes and no but I agree for most parts. That is hard to change from grub once its installed and you're also used to it
[13:30] <dos> y0
[13:30] <banshee_> anybody?
[13:31] <psycho_oreos> banshee_: .xinitrc ?
[13:31] <budmaddock> AnxiousNut: seems like the program is "Build" but to work with source you will need the tools in the build-essentials package.
[13:31] <banshee_> Thats the file?
[13:32] <geekphreak> AnxiousNut: coidng in c/c++ ?
[13:32] <xomp> guys, to add a user via the terminal one would use "sudo adduser <username>" right?
[13:32] <llutz> xomp: right
[13:32] <geekphreak> xomp:  yes
[13:32] <xomp> llutz & geekphreak cheers :)
[13:33] <frxstrem> in Karmic, what is so special about the space desktop background (it contains more than one image, but why?)
[13:33] <Curly_Q> Greets to the Geekphreak!   <-------------------------<
[13:33] <geekphreak> xomp:  you can add encrypt option too, if u want home folder to be encrypted
[13:33] <jimi_hendrix> hello, i just installed the lucid lynx beta, and seem to be having video problems.  there are little purple flecks flashing across my screen and once in a while a line shoots all the way across, as if i was watching a tv that was getting some interference, but displaying a picture.  if i install the fglrx drive (my vid card is an ATI Mobility HD 3470), the purple flecks and lines go away, but then it is not smooth when i move my windows aroun
[13:33] <jimi_hendrix> d (as i anticipated since ATI dropped support for my card in fglrx a little while back).  what should i do
[13:33] <geekphreak> Curly_Q: howdy :)
[13:33] <llutz> !lucid > jimi_hendrix
[13:33] <bazhang> jimi_hendrix, #ubuntu+1 please
[13:33] <Curly_Q> Good to see you again.
[13:33] <AnxiousNut> geekphreak: i dont know, it's to install an application, not mine
[13:33] <Curly_Q> Hope all is well.
[13:34] <geekphreak> Curly_Q:  like , alls good from your side?
[13:34] <jimi_hendrix> ah ok
[13:34] <Curly_Q> Yes. All is well.
[13:34] <geekphreak> likewise&
[13:34] <geekphreak> man i cant type today
[13:34] <xomp> geekphreak, that was going to lead to my next question heh, how would I move a file from one users directory to another users directory? I only have terminal access, would you know? :)
[13:35] <geekphreak> cp or mv command
[13:35] <llutz> xomp: mv file /dest/
[13:35] <psycho_oreos> xomp: mv /home/old_user /home/new_user
[13:35] <xomp> you guys are the best :) thanks
[13:35] <Curly_Q> Geekphreak, I was reading on Wikipedia about Proxy Servers. It seems there there are lots of International laws even banning them and in some instances people are being prosecuted for using them or just being suspect. Any comment?
[13:35] <Guest87870> fuck
[13:35] <psycho_oreos> !language| Guest87870
[13:35] <bazhang> Guest87870, watch the language
[13:36] <theadmin> What is the actual difference between "dd if=somefile of=somefile2" and "cp somefile somefile2"?
[13:36] <bazhang> !ot > Curly_Q
[13:36] <llutz> theadmin: there is none
[13:36] <psycho_oreos> theadmin: dd is mainly to be used on block devices
[13:36] <geekphreak> Curly_Q: i am in favour of it , but i think it should be left upto the user to decide :)
[13:36] <budmaddock> AnxiousNut: gcc and g++ to compile, then ./configure make make install is the way to go from your own sources.
[13:36] <hexdump_> theadmin:  isn't one building an image?
[13:36] <geekphreak> bazhang:  sorry
[13:36] <llutz> hexdump_: an image of a file is a file
[13:36] <theadmin> llutz: o_O then i could use cp to build a ISO?
[13:36] <mrman208> hi
[13:37] <Guest87870> kórwa
[13:37] <hexdump_> like a directory
[13:37] <psycho_oreos> !pl | Guest87870
[13:37] <Curly_Q> Are you in favor of banning or for its good use?
[13:37] <BlessJah> i've got problem with setting fake webcam using webcamstudio ws4gl
[13:37] <llutz> theadmin: better use cat
[13:37] <bazhang> Curly_Q, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:37] <geekphreak> theadmin:  there are other good tools too
[13:37] <hexdump_> oh nm I see what he's sayin
[13:37] <Guest87870> no i co z tego?
[13:37] <BlessJah> i can't find any manual or howto
[13:37] <theadmin> llutz: Well, "dd if=/dev/scd0 of=$HOME/image.iso" works fine for me so far %)
[13:38] <BlessJah> Guest87870: po angielsku tutaj, jak cos to na #ubuntu-pl wbijaj
[13:38] <psycho_oreos> !English | Guest87870

[13:38] <zamba> argh
[13:38] <mrman208> !help
[13:38] <Zzenon_> update firefox.. now it's freezing after 3 min.
[13:38] <Guest87870> rossyja
[13:38] <zamba> of course.. when i removed the old drive and inserted the new, grub wouldn't boot
[13:38] <geekphreak> Zzenon_:  any toolsbar you have instralled?
[13:38] <mrman208> Zzenon_: try reinstalling
[13:38] <Curly_Q> Some of the problems with proxy servers is when script kiddies play IRC DDOS. That aggrevates many people.
[13:39] <mrman208> thats what i would do
[13:39] <llutz> zamba: start grub-shell from grub-prompt, and do the setup again
[13:39] <bazhang> Curly_Q, you have been asked to remain on topic. please do so
[13:39] <Guest87870> :)
[13:39] <Guest87870> :-)
[13:39] <mrman208> :)
[13:39] <mrman208> "D
[13:39] <mrman208> :D
[13:39] <BlessJah> mrman208: don't flood
[13:39] <mrman208> sorry
[13:39] <theadmin> DDoS, DDoS... Who cares? :/ On Windows i always get those from some weird adress, so i just blocked it with a firewall and iptables on Linux
[13:39] <Guest87870> xD
[13:40] <Curly_Q> Bazhang the subject is Ubuntu and I was on topic. Ubuntu Proxy Servers. What is the problem with that?
[13:40] <AnxiousNut> budmaddock: thanks, but that isn't my question, i guess i didnt explain what i want right, never mind my question
[13:40] <mrman208> can people get kicked from these rooms?
[13:40] <theadmin> mrman208: Yep
[13:40] <overmind> mrman208: Yes, this is IRC
[13:40] <Curly_Q> Good point Theadmin.
[13:40] <BlessJah> theadmin: they can block your internet connection
[13:40] <mrman208> oh, ok
[13:40] <theadmin> BlessJah: Happened, yes, but only on Windows, on Linux... I'm fine %)
[13:40] <zamba> llutz: problem is probably the drive ids
[13:41] <overmind> theadmin++, what a scarie... a boy is going to juack me... :P
[13:41] <BlessJah> theadmin: u've got 1mbps, and script kiddie has 2mbps
[13:41] <llutz> zamba: you haven't changed your menu.lst?
[13:41] <mrman208> does anyone know if there's a turbolinux channel?
[13:41] <BlessJah> theadmin: and u've got problem
[13:41] <theadmin> BlessJah: I've got 256 kbit/sec lolz
[13:41] <psycho_oreos> mrman208: search via /msg alis help list
[13:41] <overmind> BlessJah: Well, in my case i've got 12mbs
[13:41] <mrman208> in english
[13:41] <geekphreak> theadmin:  me too :)
[13:42] <manas> hi
[13:42] <G-Farkas> Hi, how much safe is remove packages from the synaptic's categories "installed (auto unistallable)" and "installed (locals or )" ??? (excuse for my english please)
[13:42] <zamba> llutz: nope
[13:42] <zamba> llutz: reran grub now
[13:42] <llutz> zamba: you have to, /etc/fstab too
[13:42] <BlessJah> overmind: so try to DoS theadmin, let's check if only firewall gonna protect him xD
[13:42] <geekphreak> huh
[13:42] <overmind> BlessJah: hahaha
[13:42] <mrman208> nothing :(
[13:42] <llutz> zamba: if UUIDs changed, the old files point to non-existing partitions
[13:42] <ichigo> after clicking install , i m getting blankscreen . tried changing sata ahci->ata, no change.
[13:42] <manas> ave just made up my account on thunderbird but it shows me all kinds of folders from my gmail account. how can i get rid of them
[13:43] <zamba> llutz: oh.. how do i fix that?
[13:43] <theadmin> BlessJah: Woah there, I'm on another machine now. Don't you ruin my stuff o_O
[13:43] <mrman208> manas: select them and press delete, i think
[13:43] <BlessJah> i don't know how can i create fake webcam using ws4gl (webcamstudio)
[13:43] <geekphreak> manas:  imap account?
[13:43] <manas> yes
[13:43] <mrman208> manas: or go to gmail and delete them from there
[13:43] <toehio> This is ridiculous: every time I update Ubuntu, something breaks. How is the average user supposed to use Ubuntu if after every update you have to google some new error and spend hours trying to fix it? What's the point of having updates if they just create more problems?
[13:43] <geekphreak> manas:  they are folders from your gmail account man
[13:43] <llutz> zamba: using a live-cd, blkid shows you the UUIDs
[13:43] <BlessJah> theadmin: don't worry, he won't DoS u forever
[13:43] <geekphreak> toehioupdates working ok here
[13:43] <MalconRox_> someone could helpme with a update (8.10->9.04) problem?
[13:43] <BlessJah> theadmin: we may get bored
[13:43] <Ki0wa> On grub, when I choose another distro Linux. It says: Use set gfxpayload=text before linux command instead. Error: couldn't read file. How can I fix it?
[13:44] <zamba> llutz: this is totally stupid.. do you expect me to write those values into /etc/fstab in console?
[13:44] <mrman208> in the command line type  gfxpayload=text
[13:44] <zamba> llutz: without the ability to copy it?
[13:44] <Curly_Q> Toehio, if you configure your system and then do an apt-get update then you are putting back the way things were supposed to be and that is why you are geting error messages.
[13:45] <ichigo> i m getting a blank screen during install after i click install.. rebooots if i wait for 10 min.
[13:45] <llutz> zamba: i don't expect you to do anything. but if you changed your drive, and the UUIDs changed, you have to fix it
[13:45] <mrman208> Ki0wa: do you know how to get to the command line from grub?
[13:45] <psycho_oreos> zamba: you could probably copy one from your old hard drive and edit it so that it'll work
[13:45] <volvopeep> hello
[13:45] <Curly_Q> If it works don't fix it. <-------------------------<
[13:45] <Ki0wa> mrman208: nope.
[13:45] <zamba> why can't i just enter /dev/sda2 instead of that UUID-thing?
[13:45] <geekphreak> agrees with Curly_Q

[13:48] <geekphreak> BlessJah:  i sure do
[13:48] <volvopeep> ya I had the same problem
[13:48] <zamba> geekphreak: where is grub config?
[13:48] <geekphreak> BlessJah:  still working on it?
[13:48] <zamba> geekphreak: /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[13:48] <BlessJah> geekphreak: ws4gl aka webcamstudio should solve it
[13:48] <volvopeep> its the video card uselly
[13:48] <ichigo> i m sorry, i disabled ahci ->ata in hard disk. i dont know how to disable accpi in grub
[13:49] <geekphreak> zamba:  yes in /boot/grub/
[13:49] <hexdump_> rabbit1:  any new hardware recently installed?
[13:49] <psycho_oreos> rabbit1: I don't understand what you mean by usb not detecting, what?
[13:49] <padraic_> press tab at the boot screen
[13:49] <ichigo> can someone tell me the syntax.
[13:49] <padraic_> and add acpi=off
[13:49] <rabbit1> hexdump_: nop
[13:49] <zamba> looks like i've rendered my system completely useless now
[13:49] <geekphreak> zamba:  if you have neere version of ubuntu, it is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[13:49] <zamba> i had two drives, now i have none
[13:49] <zamba> grub is piece of shit
[13:49] <hexdump_> rabbit1:  what exactly do you mean by usb?  any device?
[13:49] <BlessJah> geekphreak: but i dont know how to use it, and there is no manuals
[13:49] <zamba> with lilo this was possible
[13:49] <geekphreak> zamba:  watch language plz
[13:50] <zamba> nothing boots now
[13:50] <rabbit1> hexdump_: Pendrive is not detected in any of my usb ports available
[13:50] <hexdump_> rabbit1:  was your usb working before, and have you checked your logs?
[13:50] <geekphreak> zamba:  got live cd?
[13:50] <a_h_roth> Hello.  I have an odd problem: I upgraded ubuntu server from karmic to lucid, over ssh (I know, I know).  The upgrade worked OK: except: I can only now access the box via ssh.  I can't access it at the console.  After initial boot, the screen goes blank, and nothing can be seen.  Does anyone have any suggestions, or do I need to reinstall the OS?
[13:50] <zamba> geekphreak: nope.. i -had- a working second drive, but that stopped working after i changed the root in /etc/fstab for the first drive
[13:50] <rabbit1> hexdump_: yes, it was working before, but din't use it for a long time.
[13:51] <rabbit1> hexdump_: i actually was using windows xp, since 6 months i am using ubuntu
[13:51] <geekphreak> zamba:  well change setting back lol :)
[13:51] <peterPPP> Hi, can I name my log rotation configuration file for my own logs under /etc/logrotate.d at will or is the filename important to make it work?
[13:51] <zamba> geekphreak: none of the disks boot now
[13:51] <rabbit1> hexdump_: early stage of ubuntu it was working but not after 5 months
[13:51] <geekphreak> zamba:  use ubuntu live cd to boot,
[13:51] <Curly_Q> A h try doing an apt-get update and see if that restores the default settings.
[13:52] <Curly_Q> Via ssh that is A h.
[13:52] <a_h_roth> Curly_Q: Already done multiple times.  No luck.
[13:52] <hexdump_> rabbit1:  rabbit1:  try lsusb
[13:52] <geekphreak> zamba:  when desktop is up in live cd, open terminal and mount that partition, to edit the files
[13:52] <hexdump_> rabbit1:  tell me if anything resembling your pen drive shows up
[13:52] <a_h_roth> I should also mention that I had jwm installed.  Maybe the upgrade got confused and tries to auto-boot into X?
[13:52] <zamba> geekphreak: can't i just edit the boot options in grub?
[13:52] <zamba> geekphreak: change root?
[13:53] <geekphreak> zamba:  yes you can , but i prefer it the old fashioned way :)
[13:53] <llutz> zamba: change root + kernel + initrd (if used)
[13:53] <Curly_Q> A h have you tried to update the GUI?
[13:53] <hexdump_> rabbit1:  anything?
[13:53] <zamba> llutz: unrecognized device string
[13:54] <zamba> llutz: i removed the uuids and replaced that with /dev/sda2
[13:54] <budmaddock> BlessJah: dmesg   should tell you if something was just plugged into a usb port.  If your device (external drive?) is plugged in then mount the device discovered to /mnt  and ls /mnt to see the content.
[13:54] <a_h_roth> Curly_Q: hadn't thought of that.  But to what?  Obviously sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade would update jwm.  Are you suggesting a different GUI?
[13:54] <BlessJah> budmaddock: not me
[13:54] <llutz> zamba: try (hd0,1)
[13:54] <zamba> llutz: where?
[13:54] <geekphreak> BlessJah:  whats the name of the tools you working with now?
[13:54] <llutz> zamba: root + kernel + initrd (if used)
[13:54] <xomp> guys, how would I make an archive of a folder? I'm not looking for high compression just fast compression if that's possible :)
[13:54] <llutz> zamba: wherever a device is needed
[13:54] <geekphreak> xomp: tar -cvf name.tar /folder
[13:55] <llutz> xomp: tar cf folder.tar folder/
[13:55] <BlessJah> geekphreak: webcamstudio from ws4gl.org
[13:55] <xomp> cheers \o
[13:55] <zamba> llutz: "(hd0,1)/boot/..." doesn't really look valid to me
[13:55] <geekphreak> BlessJah:  ok let me check it
[13:55] <vrxchk> with compression, tar -czvf
[13:55] <Curly_Q> A h consider that if you want to re-install the OS wouldn't it be better to just try another GUI just to prove to yourself that it may be the solution?
[13:55]  * BlessJah allows geekphreak to check it
[13:55] <a_h_roth> Curly_Q: That makes total sense.  I'll give that a try.
[13:55] <llutz> zamba: there hadn't been UUIDs before, so no (hdXY) is needed now
[13:55] <hexdump_> rabbit1:  ummm, anything?
[13:56] <xerox1> hi, are there any console tools for voice recording?
[13:56] <zamba> llutz: hm?
[13:56] <zamba> llutz: what does that mean?
[13:56] <zamba> llutz: what is needed now then?
[13:56] <Curly_Q> A h let me know how it works out.  :)
[13:56] <a_h_roth> Curly_Q: sure.
[13:56] <llutz> zamba: you should replace the UUIDs with (hd0,1) where UUID were before and only there
[13:57] <hexdump_> well I'm out then.  See ya'll later.
[13:57] <BlessJah> xerox1: arecord from alsa
[13:57] <Ki0wa> Nothing......................
[13:57] <llutz> zamba: so if only the root= had UUIDs   just change that particular line
[13:57] <xerox1> BlessJah, thx, i will have a look at it
[13:57] <zamba> llutz: i get the system booted if the second hard drive is spinned up and available
[13:57] <Curly_Q> Zamba are you trying to install Ubuntu with GRUB?
[13:58] <zamba> llutz: so it looks like it reads the mbr from my new drive, but still depends on the old drive
[13:58] <zamba> Curly_Q: i'm trying to replace my hard drive
[13:58] <zamba> Curly_Q: but grub is lousy, compared to lilo when it comes to this
[13:58] <Curly_Q> Zamba replacing your hard drive has nothing to do with Ubuntu or GRUB.
[13:58] <zamba> Curly_Q: well, i need a mbr to boot?
[13:59] <llutz> zamba: can you enter a grub-shell at boot-prompt?
[13:59] <zamba> llutz: we'll see now
[13:59] <Curly_Q> There you go Zamba, you just came to a great conclusion. MBR.
[13:59] <zamba> Curly_Q: well.. the problem here is that stuff points to the old drive still
[13:59] <zamba> llutz: i think
[14:00] <Curly_Q> Zamba start from the beginning. This problem has been done here over and over.
[14:00] <scott__> Hey everyone. Does anyone know why webpages display "oddly" in Firefox compared to Firefox on Windows?
[14:00] <zamba> Curly_Q: that's not really helping
[14:00] <llutz> zamba: yes or no?
[14:00] <zamba> llutz: it's still booting
[14:00] <Curly_Q> Zamba are you trying to set the BIOS and have you done that already?
[14:00] <zamba> llutz: have to do some disk checking now - of course :p
[14:00] <zamba> Curly_Q: bios?
[14:00] <bbq^> scott__, what doe you mean by oddly ?
[14:00] <geekphreak> BlessJah:  can i pm ?
[14:00] <BlessJah> geekphreak: sure
[14:00] <zamba> Curly_Q: what has the bios to do with this?
[14:00] <llutz> zamba: grub-shell from grub-prompt i meant, before booting
[14:00] <zamba> llutz: oh, yeah.. i can
[14:01] <Curly_Q> Because you said here that you want to change hard drives.
[14:01] <zamba> llutz: that's where i tried modifying things
[14:01] <geekphreak> BlessJah:  see if that helps
[14:01] <ichigo> During install, F6->other options i enabled acpi=off and clicked install. still same error. Help me pls
[14:01] <zamba> llutz: but i have no idea what to change
[14:01] <Curly_Q> Actually you said: "I am trying to replace my hard drive..."
[14:01] <zamba> llutz: too many UUIDs
[14:01] <llutz> zamba: not the edit-mode, the shell mode
[14:01] <budmaddock> llutz:  I think the mbr from the first drive on the system is always used (hd0,0).  Grub leaves all the old stuff under "other system" or some name like that.
[14:01] <zamba> llutz: *sigh* again, i don't know what that means
[14:01] <scott__> bbq^ - For instance, I do my shopping on ASDA.com and the fonts look smaller. Also, the webpage for my bank login is out of place. https://online.lloydstsb.co.uk/customer.ibc?WT.ac=hpIBlogon take a look
[14:01] <llutz> zamba: pressing "c" not "e"
[14:02] <Curly_Q> Replacing a Hard Drive is a physical thing. Formatting or FDISK or anything else is not a replacement.
[14:02] <teguh> hi...
[14:02] <zamba> llutz: ah! ok.. yeah, got it
[14:02] <zamba> llutz: what now?
[14:02] <llutz> zamba: opened the shell?
[14:02] <zamba> llutz: yup
[14:02] <llutz> zamba: root (hd0,1)
[14:02] <bbq^> it can sometimes be the default fonts used, for example if you are using a custom theme and gnome it can cause changes in appearance to the browser. Fonts will be different under linux than windows. However not usually are they worse.
[14:03] <scott__> bbq^ - The fields are out of place on my bank login and push the text to one side. On firefox on Windows it's perfect.
[14:03] <llutz> zamba: kernel (hd0,1)/boot/vm           <- then press TAB-key to autocomplete
[14:03] <ichigo> @psycho_oreos, sorry for disturbing.  i m not able to get the setup screen even after disabling acpi
[14:03] <bbq^> scott__, the login fields seem fine for me
[14:03] <bbq^> are you using any themes ?
[14:03] <scott__> bbq^ I'm using the default theme.
[14:03] <llutz> zamba: initrf (hd0,1)/boot/in                  <- TAB-key again to complete
[14:03] <scott__> Human.
[14:03] <bbq^> odd, you running Karmic 9.10 ?
[14:03] <llutz> zamba: boot <enter>
[14:04] <scott__> Yea bbq^. What do you have set for the default fonts in Firefox?
[14:04] <zamba> llutz: Error 1: Filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist
[14:04] <zamba> oh
[14:04] <zamba> nevermind
[14:04] <behappy> hello is there channel talk about linux for mobile ?
[14:04] <bbq^> in firefox my default font is serif, size 16
[14:04] <scott__> likewise :)
[14:04] <llutz> zamba: initrd (hd0,1)/boot/in                  <- TAB-key again to complete           typo sorry
[14:05] <zamba> yeah, saw that :)
[14:05] <zamba> booting now
[14:05] <bbq^> hmm thats weird, try CTRL + F5
[14:05] <scott__> Proportional: Serif 16, Serif = serif, sans serif = sans-serif and Monospace = monospace 12.
[14:05] <llutz> zamba: if it finishes boot, setup grub again and check /etc/fstab
[14:05] <scott__> Still the same, Shall I upload a screenshot so you can see what I mean by looking odd?#
[14:05] <bbq^> hrmm, well the only difference is on my system appearance my monospace font ( infact all fonts ) are set to size 8
[14:05] <arvind_khadri> behappy, #openmoko
[14:05] <bbq^> yea do that scopecreep
[14:05] <zamba> llutz: nope.. wouldn't boot.. dropped to initramfs
[14:06] <bbq^> woops
[14:06] <bbq^> scott__,
[14:06] <zamba> llutz: Gave up waiting for root device
[14:06] <llutz> zamba: wrong UUID for / in /etc/fstab, still pointing to the non-existing old partition
[14:07] <zamba> llutz: can't i specify root manually?
[14:07] <scott__> bbq^ - http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/7255/screenshotjc.png
[14:07] <zamba> llutz: i definitely changed that to /dev/sda2
[14:07] <zamba> llutz: in /etc/fstab
[14:07] <bbq^> here scott__ , this thread describes something similar to your issue
[14:07] <bbq^> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1309467
[14:07] <llutz> zamba: then it _should_ have worked...
[14:08] <zamba> llutz: story of my life, it doesn't
[14:08] <bbq^> yep i see scott__ , i think that thead may help
[14:08] <llutz> zamba: when did the error1 occur in grub? after the "root" line?
[14:08] <bbq^> sometimes themes cause these issues when they change the system fonts
[14:08] <scott__> I'll have a look - one see.
[14:08] <scott__> sec*
[14:08] <bbq^> :)
[14:08] <zamba> llutz: in the beginning
[14:08] <[red]Dragon> salve a tutti
[14:09] <zamba> llutz: can't i do anything with initramfs?
[14:09] <[red]Dragon> italian
[14:09] <vrxchk> scott, do u have previously resized with CTRL-WHEELMOUSE?
[14:09] <zamba> oh!
[14:09] <vrxchk> have u
[14:09] <zamba> the new / is ext4, whereas the old one was ext3
[14:09] <scott__> vrxchk - I don't believe so.
[14:10] <vrxchk> usually when the font is the wrong size.. 99% of the time that's what i did on mine
[14:10] <scott__> nope, no differance with mouse wheel.
[14:10] <llutz> zamba: you havent changed that?
[14:10] <Monotoko> hi
[14:10] <zamba> llutz: when i did mount /dev/sda2 / in initramfs i got: ext3-fs: sda2: couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240).
[14:10] <zamba> llutz: sure.. that shouldn't matter?
[14:10] <llutz> zamba: try mount -t ext4
[14:10] <scott__> bbq^ how would i go about replacing my fonts?
[14:11] <zamba> llutz: let's see
[14:11] <ichigo> someone pls help. not able to enter setup screen in ubuntu installation even after disabling acpi=off by F6 other options
[14:12] <Curly_Q> Ichigo is this a new installation?
[14:13] <ichigo> yeah
[14:13] <Curly_Q> Ichigo how much RAM do you have and what is the size of your hard drive?
 thank you , do you know which mobile phone support linux ?
[14:13] <ichigo> fresh install, new pc 2 GB ram, 2.13 Ghz, dell inspiron 14
[14:13] <zamba> llutz: looks like it's mounted
[14:13] <zamba> llutz: what now?
[14:14] <Curly_Q> Sounds about right Ichigo. Where did you go wrong?
[14:14] <zamba> llutz: can i get it to continue bootin?
[14:14] <llutz> zamba: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst  and /etc/fstab to make sure they point to correct devices
[14:14] <zamba> llutz: i'm still in initramfs
[14:14] <ichigo> i m not able to run the live cd also. when i click try ubuntu, blank screen appears
[14:14] <zamba> llutz: can i do it from that?
[14:14] <ichigo> friends suggested to try by disabling accpi, still same problem existss
[14:14] <bbq^> sorry scott__ , was just awy
[14:15] <scott__> no problem.
[14:15] <llutz> zamba: i hope so
[14:15] <bbq^> go to  System->Preferences->appearance
[14:15] <bbq^> then click the Fonts Tab
[14:16] <bbq^> mine are all set to size 8, all are Sans - except Window Title Font ( which is Sans Bold ) and Fixed Width Font ( which is Monospace )
[14:16] <scott__> I don't see a way of replacing a font that way. I need to remove a font and reinstall it using replacements i have
[14:16] <Curly_Q> Ichigo, give this a try. Download Kubuntu is what I did after having something of what you are experiencing. Then do an apt-get and fix it that way. If you have vid or screen problems then, the Kubuntu worked for me and the drivers were in that version of Ubuntu.
[14:16] <zamba> llutz: need to find an editor first....
[14:16] <llutz> zamba: vi?
[14:16] <zamba> llutz: nope
[14:16] <scott__> fixed width is monspace for me
[14:16] <bbq^> you don't need to remove any fonts scott__ , simply change the fonts the system uses by default
[14:16] <llutz> zamba: ed nano
[14:16] <scott__> all 10
[14:16] <bbq^> hrmm, well try lowering the size
[14:16] <bbq^> see if that helps i guess
[14:17] <zamba> llutz: neither
[14:17] <bbq^> other than that i am fresh out of ideas - sorry :(
[14:17] <llutz> zamba: e3 msword ;)
[14:17] <zamba> llutz: hehe
[14:17] <scott__> bbq^ that worked.
[14:17] <ichigo> i tried installing, mandravia, opensuse yday.. after installation 100 %, reboots, start up text appears, blank sdcreeen
[14:17] <bbq^> oh good :)
[14:18] <scott__> application font was set to 10 and it seems to effect some pages.
[14:18] <masterkorp> hello
[14:18] <ichigo> @curl, i m able to get into live session also, but CD is fine, checked in desktop
[14:18] <bbq^> yea i think it did for me a while back to
[14:18] <bbq^> i always have smaller fonts for some reason
[14:18] <bbq^> so never encountered that issue :0
[14:18] <Zesturian> Hello, I'm attempting to follow: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CoreTemp -- yet when I attempt to make, I get "make: Nothing to be done for `all'.", where am I going wrong? Am I just using a too up to date kernel? (2.6.31-20-generic (Karmic))
[14:18] <scott__> Problem, size 8 at my resolution is super small.
[14:18] <scott__> Any way of increasing it without damaging firefox?
[14:19] <bbq^> hrmm, well perhaps try incrementing it bit by bit and see when it fails
[14:19] <bbq^> also fiddling with the firefox fonts might have an impact
[14:19] <Curly_Q> Ichigo have you tried to use a different Computer Monitor to see if the fault is the Monitor. Perhaps Ubuntu does not support that monitor by default.
[14:19] <llutz> zamba: chroot /mountpoint/of/sda2
[14:19] <scott__> anything above 8 = fail
[14:20] <zamba> llutz: let's see
[14:20] <Curly_Q> A default setting with Ubuntu is a GENERIC default.
[14:20] <bbq^> gay, what resoultion you running ?
[14:20] <ichigo> @curl, u feel monitor may be an issue :( i m using a new laptop, .
[14:21] <Curly_Q> Ichigo, use a cable and see if an external monitor will work.
[14:21] <scott__> 1920x1200
[14:21] <ichigo> yeah wil try tat now
[14:21] <ichigo> thanks curl :)
[14:21] <zamba> llutz: that command just hangs
[14:21] <Curly_Q> Your welcome Ichigo.   Let me know if that works.
[14:21] <bbq^> thats really weird its doing that, sorry scott__ i really don't anymore things to do
[14:22] <zamba> llutz: have to reboot
[14:22] <budmaddock> Zesturian: That means that the packages have been built and you need only to do a  "make install" to put them in their final directories.
[14:22] <llutz> zamba: better use a live-cd or thumb-drive-linux to fix
[14:22] <scott__> I'll keep having a go with things and see what I come up with. Thanks bbq!
[14:22] <Curly_Q> Ichigo make sure you power down before plugging in any cables on that computer.
[14:22] <bbq^> no worries scott__ :)
[14:22] <zamba> llutz: small thumb drive linux i can use?
[14:22] <kbrosnan> scott__: do you have the ms core fonts installed? nearly every page makes use of arial, new times roman or verdana
[14:23] <llutz> zamba: everything with ext4 support
[14:23] <scott__> I believe so. I installed Ubuntu restricted extras
[14:23] <scott__> or whatever it's called I forget.
[14:23] <Zesturian> budmaddock, doing that produces: "make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop."
[14:23] <Curly_Q> Time for another beer. The bar is open folks.  :)
[14:23] <bbq^> yea installling the ms fonts might help scott__
[14:24] <scott__> ms fonts are installed via Ubuntu restricted extras.
[14:24] <Curly_Q> Bbq^ have you used .ttf   True Type Fonts with Linux?
[14:25] <bbq^> not that i am aware of Curly_Q
[14:25] <Zesturian> budmaddock, http://pastesite.com/14759 is all the make file is as per the wiki entry.
[14:25] <bbq^> i don't bother much with the fonts
[14:25] <BluesKaj> 'Morning
[14:25] <zamba> small live-cd that i can run off a thumb drive to recover my system?
[14:25] <bbq^> have you Curly_Q ?
[14:25] <zamba> i don't fancy downloading 700 MB for this
[14:25] <llutz> zamba: systemrescuecd
[14:25] <arvind_khadri> behappy, nokia n900
[14:26] <geekphreak> eveving folks
[14:26] <llutz> zamba: or check dsl, damnsmalllinux
[14:26] <arvind_khadri> behappy, you can google about it
[14:26] <llutz> zamba: not sure about ext4 in dsl
[14:26] <Curly_Q> Bbq^ I have read somewhere that you can use them. But I have a storage disk with about 20,000 fonts and the goofy WingDings if you ever have seen them.
[14:26] <scott__> How can I "reset" firefox. I'm not sure if I have messed with the settings.. I was tired last night.
[14:26] <budmaddock> Zesturian: Er, ya.    That should generate the make file again.
[14:27] <bastid_raZor> scott__: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.old   then restart firefox
[14:27] <BlessJah> geekphreak: works!
[14:27] <Curly_Q> Scott go to     Tools     options and   set default.
[14:27] <bbq^> i have seen them Curly_Q
[14:27] <Curly_Q> It is     RESTORE     defaults.
[14:27] <scott__> I dont see an options under tools
[14:27] <geekphreak1> hmm
[14:27] <BlessJah> geekphreak1: works!
[14:27] <llutz> bbq^: yo can use ttf like other fonts too
[14:27] <geekphreak1> BlessJah:  great :)
[14:27] <Zesturian> budmaddock, there is no configure, it's a C file on its own, I don't see why it's not just a gcc rather than a make.
[14:28] <bbq^> oh right, well as i said llutz i don't really notice any font issues, although they would be handy with GIMP and openoffice
[14:28] <scott__> bastid - that did it lol
[14:28] <bbq^> where are fonts installed by default anyway
[14:28] <llutz> !fonts > bbq^
[14:28] <bbq^> oh wow thanks llutz :p
[14:29] <behappy> arvind_khadri: thank you very much
[14:29] <scott__> didn't fix it though.
[14:29] <teguh> hello..., any body can help me to make ubuntu on my laptop is faster..?
[14:29] <geekphreak1> teguh:  paddle faster lol
[14:29] <bastid_raZor> scott__: you can pull your bookmarks and whatnot from the ~/.mozilla.old folder if you wish.. if you don't want anything you can delete the folder. otherwise since that didn't help you can simple rm ~/.mozilla then mv ~/mozilla.old ~/.mozilla to restore your old configurations
[14:29] <geekphreak1> teguh: how much ram you got?
[14:29] <bbq^> oh i see /usr/share/fonts/truetype
[14:29] <Curly_Q> Scott try an apt-get update.
[14:29] <bbq^> cheers llutz
[14:29] <Dale> ok, the last bunch of updates destroyed my firefox
[14:29] <Dale> which kinda sucks
[14:30] <arvind_khadri> !boot > teguh
[14:30] <scott__> It's fine, I backed up my bookmarks and I've just restored them in Firefox... Now how do I get the fonts to behave xD
[14:30] <geekphreak1> arvind_khadri:  :p
[14:30] <budmaddock> Zesturian: make adds the required libraries. Try commenting out the clean line?
[14:30] <Dale> is there a known issue / fix for the firefox breakage?
[14:30] <agronholm> hi, has anyone else come across this error when attempting to upgrade ubuntu karmic server to lucid b2? Exception during pm.DoInstall(): E:Internal Error, Could not perform immediate configuration (2) on mountall
[14:30] <Curly_Q> Scott Click on the HELP button and check for updates.
[14:31] <llutz> !lucid | agronholm
[14:31] <bbq^> i swear linux installs vary from install to install scott__ , i  have the same version installed on a few computers very similar in spec and they all are different slightly -__-
[14:31] <agronholm> ok
[14:31] <scott__> haha!
[14:31] <bbq^> this may come in handy scott__ , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fonts
[14:31] <scott__> There is no check for updates under help in firefox
[14:32] <Mechdave> Anyone know the difference between 9.10 and 10.04 when it comes to direct usb port access?
[14:32] <geekphreak1> Dale: have you tried using new profile >> /usr/bin/firefox -ProfileManager
[14:32] <Curly_Q> Yes there is.
[14:32] <scott__> Not for me Curly.. There is on windows but i can't seem to see it in firefox for ubuntu
[14:32] <Zesturian> Still no dice budmaddock
[14:33] <Curly_Q> Do a Google and do an apt-get install update for firefox.
[14:34] <scott__> Running latest version of firefox.
[14:34] <Dale> yup, same problem
[14:34] <dhanesh> hi
[14:34] <scott__> 3.5.9
[14:34] <scott__> isn't there a 3.6 now?!
[14:34] <Dale> Serious fd usage error 19 - Serious fd usage error 16
[14:34] <Dale> arrggh
[14:34] <scott__> there is! bah, why ubuntu tell me 3.5.9 is latest
[14:34] <Jadoza> I'm running 3.6.3
[14:35] <Curly_Q> Scott then click on HELP then click on HELP CONTENTS and type in the update command in the help section.
[14:35] <bbq^> try downloading from mozilla site scott__
[14:35] <scott__> im going to bbq... i installed the update using the ubuntu update manager
[14:36] <Dale> scott__: your firefox just break on an update?
[14:36] <budmaddock> Zesturian: Ok, open the makefile if there is one and it should contain something like gcc -- options, cc --options etc.  but the file will be called makefile, make makes a makefile
[14:36] <Jadoza> Oh, man ... the 10.04 updates are really adding up :) 200 MB in one go after just a few days
[14:36] <scott__> No dale, it's telling me 3.5.9 is the latest (which it is of the 3.5 branch)
[14:36] <scott__> bbq how the hell do i install this - unless its a deb im lost lol
[14:36] <dhanesh> latest version of windows is windows 7
[14:37] <bbq^> scott__, its because ubuntu repos are not updated yet
[14:37] <Zesturian> budmaddock, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CoreTemp it's a C file, it has you create a Makefile.
[14:37] <bbq^> lol
[14:37] <bbq^> hold on let me download and check
[14:37] <Curly_Q> Scott it may be that you need to be sudo -i to correct that.   Always remember permissions.
[14:37] <scott__> it's a tar.bz2 which is an archive obviously
[14:37] <bbq^> ooo i don't want to updated i  am running 3.5.9 and <3 my theme
[14:37] <dhanesh>  Zesturian latest version of windows is windows 7
[14:37] <bbq^> extract it and read it
[14:37] <scott__> firefox folder full of goodies
[14:38] <scott__> linux stuff makes my brain hurt lol
[14:38] <bbq^> have a look at README
[14:38] <Zesturian> dhanesh, I never asked. I don't care either ;)
[14:38] <bbq^> mine too ^^
[14:38] <scott__> awesome readme go to http://getfirefox.com/releases/ lol
[14:38] <Dale> scott__: inside the archive is the executable
[14:39] <dhanesh>  Zesturian which os do you like?
[14:39] <Curly_Q> Not being a superuser will allow an update but being superuser or root will allow the update.
[14:39] <scott__> firefox-bin ?
[14:39] <bbq^> ok, open terminal
[14:39] <Dale> ./firefox
[14:39] <bbq^> that might work
[14:39] <bbq^> if not ./configure then make then sudo make install
[14:39] <bbq^> i guess
[14:39] <Dale> and yeh firefox-bin does the same, can just click on it
[14:39] <Dale> it doesnt need built
[14:39] <bbq^> oh good
[14:39] <kbrosnan> no you can't launch firefox from firefox-bin
[14:40] <bbq^> you find mozilla site really slow to download
[14:40] <dhanesh>  Zesturian which os do you like?
[14:40] <bbq^> i only get 40kbps
[14:40] <geekphreak1> be right back
[14:40] <Zesturian> dhanesh, linux... I'm in a linux channel, it's pretty self explanatory ;). I've been running solely linux for the past 4 years. Only computer I have with windows is my netbook and that's just because it was pre-installed.
[14:40] <scott__> im in the folder on terminal
[14:40] <Dale> kbrosnan: going to have to disagree since I just did it
[14:40] <bbq^> try running ./firefox
[14:40] <bbq^> see what happens
[14:40] <Zesturian> That dual boots kubuntu.
[14:40] <scott__> I'm trying to change to ubuntu... I used it a few years back but i've forgotten everything
[14:41] <scott__> bbq it launches
[14:41] <bbq^> oh good
[14:41] <kbrosnan> Dale: it should not unless you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[14:41] <bbq^> does it look like it works
[14:41] <scott__> but it doesn't update my current firefox
[14:41] <bbq^> nah it won't
[14:41] <scott__> it launches 3.5.9
[14:41] <bbq^> it will update itself
[14:41] <bbq^> lol
[14:41] <bbq^> thought that might happen
[14:41] <scott__> not 3.6 thats in the folder
[14:41] <bbq^> just wait, downloading it now
[14:41] <scott__> kk bbq
[14:41] <kbrosnan> scott__: you'll need to close 3.5
[14:42] <bullgard> Chatzilla shows some nicks in Italic. I believe this is when the nick is logged in but has not been sending a message for a while. How long is this time before the nick becomes italic?
[14:42] <scott__> balls.. i thought I had rofl
[14:42] <scott__> missed the download window
[14:42] <EmLoD> I just lost my / drive... but i have all in /home on another partition.... What kind of information and settings will i lose if i'm unable to recover / and just do a new install?
[14:42] <scott__> here we go
[14:42] <scott__> still have the page render problem but it launched 3.6
[14:42] <dhanesh>  scott__ which is the player that can play tv stream
[14:43] <llutz> EmLoD:all systemwide settings, if you had mysql or other services running the databases
[14:43] <sivam> hi
[14:43] <scott__> I wouldn't know.
[14:43] <bbq^> ok scott__ , i just did the command ./firefox from inside the extracted download and it ran 3.6.3
[14:43] <scott__> bbq it did for me
[14:43] <sivam> I am trying to configure internet in my Ubuntu installed in vmware
[14:43] <scott__> page renders wrong still
[14:43] <bbq^> gay
[14:43] <scott__> didn't update though
[14:43] <banshee_> I like goofing around in terminal but ive ran outa fun to my knowledge, any suggestions :D
[14:43] <dhanesh> scott__ which is the player that can play tv stream
[14:43] <scott__> system still has 3.5.9 on it
[14:44] <sivam> Its showing the network interface but its not connecting to internet
[14:44] <bbq^> hrmm wee. 3.5.9 is still good -__-
[14:44] <scott__> dhanesh - i'm new to ubuntu. I don't know :)
[14:44] <EmLoD> so /home basically stores data, and not settings then...
[14:44] <budmaddock> Zesturian: Yes, I see, he is anything but clear.  Put coretemp.o into a file either his way  "<< EOF > Makefile obj-m += coretemp.o" or just cat coretemp.o > /path_you_have/Makefile.  Make will then make the object file coretemp.o into installable files.
[14:44] <scott__> I'm gonna leave it until the "code gods" update software centre i guess.
[14:44] <Dale> ubuntu/mozilla really should sort out these firefox upgrades
[14:44] <llutz> EmLoD: only personal-settings
[14:44] <scott__> It's obviously a font issue..
[14:44] <overmind> scott__: Download firefox from official web, use "chmod +x file" and click on it
[14:45] <bbq^> overmind, he did, it didn't change anything for him :)
[14:45] <kbrosnan> Dale: 10.04 should follow the mozilla upgrades, ubuntu changed how they package firefox
[14:45] <scott__> changing application fonts to size 8 fixes webpages
[14:45] <scott__> but the font is far too small
[14:45] <scott__> for everything else*
[14:45] <Dale> kbrosnan: nice
[14:45] <dhanesh>  Zesturian:which is the player that can play live internet video streams
[14:46] <scott__> dhanesh - VLC may work/
[14:46] <Jadoza> dhanesh, Try VLC ... www.videolan.org
[14:46] <scott__> It plays everything else.
[14:46] <Zesturian> budmaddock, It's perfectly clear, the issue is it does not function.
[14:47] <dhanesh> Jadoza:it cant play internet live video streams
[14:47] <Sigiken> Can someone help me with Ubuntu 9.10 running as guest in virtualbox (windows 7 x64 is host), I used to play games on ubuntu, but now ubuntu crashes as soon as I launch a game
[14:47] <scott__> My laptop has card readers and linux works out fo the box, there is no drivers for windows 7 to get them to work so its a +1 for linux/ubuntu.
[14:47] <Jadoza> dhanesh, Give me an example of this "live video stream"
[14:47] <Zesturian> dhanesh, try google.
[14:47] <dhanesh> Zesturian no you have to help me
[14:47] <Zesturian> mplayer works fine for most streams.
[14:47] <Zesturian> dhanesh, I am not obliged to do anything.
[14:48] <scott__> vlc the only thing that can play WMV HD on ubuntu?
[14:48] <Jadoza> wmv - let it be :)
[14:48] <geekphreak> scott__:  mplayer to
[14:48] <jrendas> i need some help here
[14:48] <scott__> ty geekphreak
[14:48] <geekphreak> acott_ i think :)
[14:49] <Jadoza> dhanesh, What stream are you trying to play?
[14:49] <dhanesh>  geekphreak: radio shure cant run in ubuntu
[14:49] <geekphreak> dhanesh:  i play it :p
[14:49] <geekphreak> !ask | jrendas
[14:49] <scott__> I'm going to need a crash course on how to install things in ubuntu without deb or the software centre...
[14:50] <scott__> I know you have to run make etc
[14:50] <longkid> what software can play matroska file besides Movie player?
[14:50] <dhanesh> Jadoza:internet live video streams
[14:50] <llutz> !compile > scott__
[14:50] <geekphreak> scott__:  mostly packages come with readme file,
[14:50] <scott__> VLC?
[14:50] <llutz> !checkinstall > scott__
[14:50] <Jadoza> dhanesh, Give me a effing URL
[14:50] <itguru> I want to give myself permission to edit just a small group of files witin the root file system without having to use sudo, because i connect to my ubuntu server using dolpin, and i don't have root login
[14:50] <itguru> how can i best do that?
[14:50] <banshee_> scott__ sudo apt-get install vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc
[14:50] <dhanesh> Jadoza:can i give it tommorrow
[14:51] <Ree_> hello everyone
[14:51] <itguru> i don't want to add my ssh user to the root group of change the ownership of the files, will i have to create a specific group just for that function?
[14:51] <Jadoza> dhanesh, Why not now? Don't you remember what you were trying to watch?
[14:51] <Ree_> I've got a short question regarding ubuntu usage
[14:51] <scott__> I gave up reading readmesa long time ago but i guess with linux they actually contain info apart from THANKS FOR DOWNLOADING?!
[14:51] <zamba> llutz: i see that all UUIDs in /boot/grub/menu.lst is wrong
[14:51] <dhanesh> geekphreak:how you played radio shure tell me
[14:51] <llutz> zamba: correct them
[14:51] <Dale> anyone got a theme suggestion for firefox / ubuntu?
[14:51] <Zesturian> scott__, ./configure && make && sudo make install tends to be the chain of events, but you shouldn't join them in that respect, run each one respectively, also ./configure --help is always a good thing to do prior to ./configure to ensure you have all your paths right etc. Additionally, always read their documentation, it will give you the heads up.
[14:51] <zamba> llutz: but now i can't chroot into the mount point.. complains about lacking zsh
[14:52] <Dale> something like http://livesino.net/images/IE9_200A/windows_internet_explorer_9_addressbar.png would be nice :)
[14:52] <llutz> zamba: chroot /mntpont /bin/bash
[14:52] <jrendas> I accidentally delete one file named "wedaolu" in my Seven partition. Now, grub doesn't let me boot Seven. I used ntfsundelete but it cannot recover  the file. What should I do? Could anyone send me wedaolu?
[14:52] <zamba> llutz: ah, that worked: chroot /mnt/live /bin/bash
[14:52] <zamba> llutz: yeah :)
[14:52] <scott__> Thanks.
[14:52] <Ree_> how should firefox plugins be installed? via firefox interface or synaptic?
[14:52] <Ree_> what is the recommended approachs?
[14:52] <banshee_> firefox I believe
[14:52] <zamba> llutz: what command(s) fixes /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[14:52] <Zesturian> That's for C / C++ only generally, other languages require different build methods. README will usually tell you what to do.
[14:52] <dhanesh> geekphreak:how you played radio shure tell me
[14:52] <geekphreak> Ree_:  i prefer from firefox :)
[14:52] <zamba> llutz: update-grub?
[14:52] <llutz> zamba: you have to do it manually
[14:52] <geekphreak> dhanesh:  using amarok
[14:52] <scott__> Fonts look weird in firefox for most webpages... I think something may be wrong somewhere.
[14:52] <zamba> llutz: you kidding me?
[14:52] <Jadoza> Ree_, Firefox, and sometimes there's required to copy .so files to certain locations
[14:52] <llutz> zamba: aeh, nope
[14:53] <Jadoza> In my expreience
[14:53] <irvken> I'm trying to use cron to do mysql backups, shouldn't the timing 5 * * * *  run the command every 5 minutes?
[14:53] <scott__> They look much more "bolded" if that is even a word and flat.
[14:53] <zamba> llutz: i'm in console, i can't fix 10+ x character long UUIDs
[14:53] <zamba> llutz: ah, shit
[14:53] <llutz> zamba: use gpm
[14:53] <Ree_> ok thanks
[14:53] <zamba> llutz: what's gpm?
[14:53] <dhanesh>  geekphreak:amarok can play internet radio
[14:53] <geekphreak> dhanesh:  still radio :p
[14:53] <llutz> zamba: console mouse driver   (more or less)
[14:53] <elky> zamba, watch your language please :)
[14:54] <llutz> zamba: makes copy/paste easier
[14:54] <diddy> What do I have to do to be able to watch all .wmv files on Ubuntu 64 bit?
[14:54] <Jadoza> dhanesh, No example of these "live internet tv streams"?
[14:54] <erUSUL> diddy: intall w64cdecs from medibuntu + ubuntu resticted extras ...
[14:54] <scott__> I dont like running kde apps on gnome as it breaks "the look".
[14:54] <hardwired> 'llo. How do get help with creating a new xorg.conf after I changed gfx card? I tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from an ssh session, but that didn't seem to do anything
[14:54] <zamba> llutz: gpm doesn't work
[14:54] <llutz> zamba: or, ugly thing: blkid >>menu.lst       and use ccopy-function of your editor
[14:54] <dhanesh> geekphreak:how can i record internet live audio streams
[14:55] <llutz> zamba: make sure to delete that stuff when finished from end of the file
[14:55] <diddy> erUSUL, I already installed the package restricted extras. Still doesn't work.
[14:55] <llutz> dhanesh: streamripper
[14:55] <hardwired> ahh, I just found a guide
[14:55] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | diddy
[14:56] <diddy> erUSUL, yes I know
[14:56] <a_h_roth> Curly_Q: I'm back.  Are you still there?  I installed xubuntu-desktop, and the problem has gotten worse.  The console hangs on the Xubuntu splash screen.  I can still ssh into the box, but it's very slow.  Any other ideas?
[14:56] <scott__> bbq - changing the application font to 8 fixes all my problems. Any idea how to apply it JUST to firefox if at all possible?
[14:56] <geekphreak> dhanesh:  i cant help with that sorry, copyright issues , i wont help
[14:56] <Ree_> one more thing: is there any difference between installing the restricted-extras package vs installing the individual packages?
[14:56] <erUSUL> diddy: that and gstreamer ffmpeg plugin is the closer you will get ( vlc also )
[14:56] <EmLoD> i've got Grub error 15, but where is grub actually installed, have been trying different things in "sudo grub" > root (hd0,*) > setup (hd0), but it doesn't find grub on any of my partitions...
[14:56] <hardwired> ah now, that's no guide, just a 'it works' notice.
[14:57] <diddy> erUSUL, gstreamer is installed
[14:57] <geekphreak> hardwired:  nvidia card?
[14:57] <zamba> llutz: fixed.. now what+
[14:57] <zamba> llutz: update-grub?
[14:57] <llutz> zamba: yes
[14:57] <diddy> VLC is giving the error message: No suitable decoder module:
[14:57] <diddy> VLC does not support the audio or video format "wmas". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[14:57] <diddy> No suitable decoder module:
[14:57] <diddy> VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.
[14:57] <erUSUL> diddy:  gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[14:57] <FloodBot3> diddy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:58] <vita_sis>  have  problem this No module named CElementTree and yum
[14:58] <diddy> sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg ??
[14:58] <hardwired> geekphreak: old one was nvidia, new one is integrated intel clarkdale
[14:58] <diddy> erUSUL,  gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is already the newest version.
[14:59] <erUSUL> diddy: then you are out of luck
[14:59] <Jadoza> diddy, Move away from wmv and the like
[14:59] <zamba> llutz: and then reboot?
