[08:27] <^paradox^> just wondering what are good settings for upload and download limits? i tested my connection and my download speed for internet is 29136kbps and my upload speed is 2093kbps
[08:27] <edbian> jjseven: first "sudo lspci -k" to check what module your wifi uses.  Then "sudo modprobe -r <moduleName>" to remove it.  After that I bet you can reboot without loosing the card.
[08:27] <mobi-sheep> tarelerulz: Check out Ogmrip, I believe it have the support.
[08:27] <mobi-sheep> chris_: Place it in ~/bin
[08:28] <chris_> mobi-sheep: thanks
[08:28] <jjseven> ok
[08:28] <tarelerulz>  mobi-sheep , I have movies in that format . I can't find anything beside totem that play it . The only downside is totem don't see the subtitles .  That is the whole point of making an mkv
[08:28] <plunked> denysonique: apt-get couldnt find the package :\
[08:29] <jjseven> edbian: 02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
[08:29] <jjseven> 	Kernel driver in use: ath9k
[08:29] <jjseven> 	Kernel modules: ath9k
[08:29] <mobi-sheep> tarelerulz: I don't use Totem. I would suggest for you to test the video with VLC.
[08:29] <jjseven> module name is ath9k
[08:29] <edbian> jjseven: So then "sudo modprobe -r ath9k"  and reboot. I bet it solves the problem :)
[08:29] <plunked> its on a vm without tools so i cant see all the possibilities
[08:29] <^paradox^> i had them set before after reading up on bittorrent and so forth, but after reinstalling just now i dont remember what i set my speed limits to
[08:29] <airtonix> ^paradox^, its up to you really, but i would not saturate your outgoing speed as it will affect your incoming speeds
[08:29] <tarelerulz> VLC plays it ,but the sound skips a lot . Totem is the only thing that does the sound right
[08:29] <jjseven> edbian: will i not have wifi now?
[08:29] <denysonique> tarelerulz: mplayer!
[08:30] <airtonix> ^paradox^, also : some trackers & clients will limit their outgoing speed to you based on your sharing ratio..
[08:30] <jjseven> ok let me try that. thanks alot edbian
[08:30] <chris_> mobi-sheep: is ~/bin hidden?
[08:30] <edbian> jjseven: Yeah, if you remove the module your wifi should shut down.  If this works you can write a shutdown script so that the system runs the command automatically while it is shutting down.
[08:30] <edbian> jjseven: NP! :)
[08:30] <mobi-sheep> chris_: If it does not exist, create a folder.
[08:30] <^paradox^> what would you recommend based on my connection speed? honestly i have no idea what to put
[08:31] <Yos> chris_ have a read of this http://linuxcommand.org/wss0010.php
[08:31] <minusvirus> bonjour
[08:31] <minusvirus> hello
[08:31] <airtonix> ^paradox^, does your ISP limit the amount you can download per month ?
[08:31] <jjseven> edbian: i'm assuming i should shut down wifi on linux if i am going to restart windows?
[08:31] <^paradox^> not that im aware of
[08:32] <tarelerulz> Mplayer don't play it , vlc the sound skips lot totem player the sound and video right ,but miss the subtitles and banshee don't see subtitles at all and picks the wrong language
[08:32] <Crash1hd> Does anyone know how to re add the add / remove programs under Applications?
[08:32] <^paradox^> and i download a lot
[08:32] <chris_> Yos: hmm cd is telling me ~/bin is not a directory
[08:32] <airtonix> ^paradox^, then i would put 50% outgoing and 90% incoming
[08:32] <mobi-sheep> tarelerulz: Try it with VLC. Edit sound settings and see if anything work correctly.
[08:32] <mobi-sheep> chris_: "mkdir ~/bin"
[08:32] <Yos> chris_ so have a read of the link that I sent you
[08:33] <^paradox^> ill have to get a calculator
[08:33] <chris_> mobi-sheep: the dir is created but not scene as a dir
[08:33]  * kilior aaaaa
[08:33] <airtonix> ^paradox^, also it helps to increase the maximum peers per torrent
[08:33] <edbian> jjseven: That doesn't make sense to me?  If removing the module (the effect of "sudo modprobe -r ath9k") fixes the issue then you can make it run as part of the shut down procedure for linux.  I'm assuming the problem isn't with windows at all.
[08:33] <mobi-sheep> chris_: Read Yos's link. I don't understand that statement.
[08:33] <chris_> mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/chris/bin': File exists
[08:33] <quietone> airtonix: can you explain more please - "i would not saturate your outgoing speed as it will affect your incoming speeds"
[08:34] <chris_> bash: cd: /home/chris/bin: Not a directory
[08:34] <chris_> i read the link (thanks btw)
[08:34] <airtonix> quietone, one second please
[08:34] <^paradox^> give me recommendations sensai ;-) . teach me things
[08:34] <pwnedulongtime> anyone else experiencing crashes with chromium nightly?
[08:34] <mobi-sheep> chris_: "file /home/chris/bin"
[08:35] <dandre> I just have updated from jaunty to karmic and my firefox dosn't work properly. When I quit properly, sometimes, if I launch it again it shows a message that it hasn't been quit nicely and propose to restore or open a new session. Is this a knowbug? What could I do?
[08:35] <chris_> mobie-sheep: ok did that and i got the "/home/chris/bin: Bourne-Again shell script text executable" message
[08:35] <airtonix> ^paradox^, 2.4meg per sec incoming you have ? then i would put a total of 2meg a sec (2,000kb/s) incoming and 100kb/s outgoing
[08:35] <pwnedulongtime> dandre: sounds like your cache is corrupted
[08:36] <airtonix> ^paradox^, but thats just me if i had no restrictions... you might find better advice on this topic on the irc channgel :  #transmission
[08:37] <^paradox^> for the incoming what would be in kb. theres no meg there
[08:37] <airtonix> quietone, ^paradox^ correct
[08:38] <^paradox^> sorry its just a lotta math and no calculator handy
[08:38] <tarelerulz> mobi-sheep:  I changed the sound setting as you said and it works now
[08:38] <dandre> pwnedulongtime: dandre: sounds like your cache is corrupted
[08:38] <dandre> so how can I fix it?
[08:38] <mobi-sheep> tarelerulz: Yay. :3
[08:38] <^paradox^> oh lol i see it now
[08:39] <airtonix> ^paradox^, there is a bit of advice in section 2 here : http://torrentfreak.com/optimize-your-bittorrent-download-speed/
[08:39] <^paradox^> 2000kb incoming and 100kb outgoing
[08:39] <dandre> pwnedulongtime: dandre: sounds like your cache is corrupted
[08:39] <dandre> so how can I fix it?
[08:39] <tarelerulz> It pretty lame to think I made video that I can't play right
[08:39] <^paradox^> ill have a look at that
[08:41] <airtonix> ^paradox^, you might also benefit from enabling encryption there
[08:41] <^paradox^> ok limit download speed is set to 2000kb and limit upload speed is set to 100kb
[08:41] <jon23d> I'm having alot of trouble getting facebook's bulk upload to work.  Java is loaded, but the applet just shows a gray box
[08:41] <^paradox^> is that under privacy tab?
[08:41] <airtonix> ^paradox^, yes.
[08:42] <^paradox^> says allow encryption and both boxes are ticked. leav it be?
[08:42] <airtonix> quietone, its fairly common network data transfer concept that all file transfers over tcp require a two way communication to ensure the file is sent properly.
[08:42] <airtonix> ^paradox^, dropdown box
[08:43] <plunked> does anyone know the name of the gnome metapackage for ubuntu server?
[08:43] <^paradox^> that says allow prefer and require
[08:43] <ikonia_> plunked: ubuntu-desktop or gnome-desktop
[08:43] <ikonia_> plunked: depending on what you want
[08:43] <airtonix> ^paradox^, require
[08:43] <quietone> airtonix: ok. i'm still thinking how that fits with my experience.
[08:44] <plunked> ikonia_: ubuntu desktop would be the desktop version of ubuntu i presume? and gnome-desktop just gnome?
[08:44] <^paradox^> will it slow things up any?
[08:44] <fenjo> Hello!!!
[08:44] <bullgard> Why does the Nautilus file browser display duplicate desktop configuration file names in /usr/share/applications/ , for example "Brasero"? Nautilus  displays also identical Size, Type, Date Modified and owner, but the sizes are different. 'T43:/usr/share/applications$ ls -l | grep brasero; -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3160 2009-10-30 10:20 brasero-copy-medium.desktop; -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3859...
[08:44] <ikonia_> plunked: no
[08:44] <bullgard> ...2009-10-30 10:20 brasero.desktop; -rw-r--r-- 1 root root   504 2009-10-30 10:20 brasero-nautilus.desktop'.'
[08:44] <chris_> how to i add ~/bin to my $PATH ?
[08:44] <ikonia_> plunked: ubuntu-desktop is the metapackage for gnome-desktop with the ubuntu configuration (icons etc)
[08:45] <quietone> airtonix: i've looked for #transmission without success. where it is? i'm new at this
[08:45] <ikonia_> plunked: if you want a desktop - why are you not using the desktop version of ubuntu ?
[08:45] <airtonix> quietone, /join #transmission
[08:46] <plunked> ikonia_: I'm trying to create a devlopment box to test out certain tools
[08:46] <ikonia_> plunked: so why do you need to use the server edition ?
[08:46] <cdocbo> chris_, echo "PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc  then logout/in
[08:46] <quietone> airtonix: thanks. I do find the help unhelpful! and I tried /list as well. Oh well I am there now.
[08:46] <airtonix> chris, this thread might help explain how to : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=58023
[08:47] <ikonia_> plunked: the desktop version is a very solid server platform
[08:47] <legend2440> chris_reboot and it will be added
[08:48] <plunked> ikonia_: I'll give it another go, thanks :)
[08:48] <chris_> thanks
[08:48] <four> can someone tell me what gnome-fs-client means?
[08:48] <chris_> did anyone else get a random PM from goddard?
[08:48] <four> in the context of icons
[08:49] <goddard> no sorry
[08:49] <airtonix> cdocbo, are you sure that is the correct place ? bashrc is only executed when you open the terminal
[08:49] <goddard> chris_
[08:49] <chris_> goddard:np
[08:50] <goddard> chris_ I'm just learning how to use my client
[08:50] <cdocbo> airtonix, I guess that depends on what he is doing, but for most people, they are running commands from a term...
[08:50] <airtonix> cdocbo, the ~/.profile is a better place since it enablesthat $PATH modification for more than just terminal
[08:51] <mobi-sheep> airtonix: I was checking and you're right about ~/.profile
[08:52] <four> can someone tell me what this means? <property name="icon_name">gnome-fs-client</property>
[08:52] <cdocbo> airtonix, if you'll read that file, it tells you that it isn't read if the user already has a .bash_profile or .bash_login.  And on 9.10 it already has a $HOME/bin entry, so it wasn't working for him.
[08:53] <airtonix> four, fs is short for file-system
[08:53] <chris_> goddard:cool
[08:53] <mobi-sheep> chris_: Still having issue with your bin?
[08:53] <four> airtonix, im trying to change the default icon but when i put in a path to the icon it would not start for me
[08:53] <Zeppelin> man ubuntu
[08:53] <Zeppelin> honestly, ubuntu is better than windows
[08:53] <Zeppelin> and windows costs like 150$
[08:53] <ikonia_> Zeppelin: that's great that you think that, but this is a support channel,
[08:53] <mobi-sheep> Zeppelin: Honestly? We already know it is better than Windows.
[08:54] <Zeppelin> where could i go to rant about it's awesomeness?
[08:54] <goddard> windows is horrible only thing it is good for is to play games
[08:54] <mobi-sheep> Zeppelin: #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:54] <ikonia_> Zeppelin: no-where - it does more harm than good
[08:54] <^paradox^> maximum peers per torrent is 60 and maximum peers overall is 240. im not sure if thats good or bad for me. i would follow whats on that page you linked me to, but he only told what worked for him
[08:54] <chris_> mobie-sheep: yeah but at this point i think my brain is too tired to do anything about it
[08:54] <airtonix> four, do not change the xml file. instead you must do several things prior to supplying or changing the current icon : 1) determine the name of the icon theme you are using 2) determine if this icon theme is stored in the global storage place 3) find the icon (or supply it if it does not exist) 4) test it
[08:54] <mobi-sheep> chris_: Quickly, do "file ~/bin"
[08:55] <chris_> mobie-sheep:/home/chris/bin: Bourne-Again shell script text executable
[08:55] <airtonix> four, if the icon theme is not in the global icon place then it is most likely a icon in a theme folder at ~/.icons
[08:55] <mobi-sheep> chris_: "cat ~/bin"  -- You see your script scrolling?
[08:55] <four> airtonix, i only have one theme in .icons, and it is not the one im using
[08:55] <chris_> mobie-sheep:ues
[08:56] <four> airtonix, the theme i am using is in /usr/share
[08:56] <mobi-sheep> chris_: "mv ~/bin ~/runScript && mkdir ~/bin && mv ~/runScript ~/bin/ ; source ~/.profile ; runScript"
[08:57] <four> airtonix, how do i ;test; the icon
[08:58] <airtonix> four, the icon that my main menu uses comes from : ~/.icons/Meliae-Dust/scalable/apps/gnome-main-menu.png
[08:58] <four> airtonix, are you using slab or the default gnome menu
[08:58] <four> airtonix, im using slab 0.9.12
[08:58] <airtonix> four, default main menu.
[08:58] <airtonix> four, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34625/screenshot_005_8jOILe.png
[08:58] <funkiwan> any idea why firefox would be calling /opt/google/picasa/3.0/lib/npPicasa3.so? i've disabled the Picasa plugin, but my logs are getting flooded: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343407/
[08:59] <denysonique> funkiwan: uninstall the plugin completely :)
[08:59] <MaSSaSLaYeR> how can i remove the confirm window after i close terminal ubuntu 9.10
[08:59] <four> airtonix, that a nice icon...the applet i am using seems to be using the 'computer' icon from my icon theme
[08:59] <funkiwan> denysonique: how? i don't see that option?
[09:00] <mobi-sheep> MaSSaSLaYeR: It only happen when you're doing something like sshing in for an example.
[09:00] <halfie> hi, i want to execute a shell script when my laptop resume from suspend? what the correct place to look in?
[09:00] <denysonique> funkiwan: oh its installed system wide, just apt-get remove
[09:00] <funkiwan> denysonique: it's not an extension, it's a plugin.
[09:00] <^paradox^> ok so ive set dl and ul speeds to 2000kb & 100kb, set encryption to require, and since im not behind a router or firewall port 6885 should be right. i assume i can leave everything else set as is?
[09:00] <MaSSaSLaYeR> mobi-sheep:  i was just removing things as root
[09:00] <MaSSaSLaYeR> and it came
[09:00] <airtonix> four, try providing an icon with the name : gnome-main-menu.png or gnome-main-menu.svg (sorry i haven;t used slab)
[09:00] <^paradox^> thanks very much for your help b the way
[09:01] <^paradox^> by*
[09:01] <four> airtonix, and then where should i put it
[09:01] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[09:01] <mobi-sheep> MaSSaSLaYeR: You tried to close it, right?
[09:01] <MaSSaSLaYeR> mobi-sheep:  yep
[09:01] <denysonique> stanley_robertso: hi
[09:01] <airtonix> four, (since you are using /usr/share) /usr/share/<icon-theme-name>/scalable/apps/gnome-main-menu.png
[09:01] <mobi-sheep> MaSSaSLaYeR: In that case, if you were in root. You should try "exit" to back to your shell and close the terminal.
[09:01] <halfie> hi again, i want to execute a shell script when my laptop resumes from suspend? what the correct place to look in? I saw /etc/acpid folder but didn't find anything promising.
[09:01] <funkiwan> denysonique: i'm not interested in uninstalling picasa, just preventing firefox from trying to access it.
[09:02] <MaSSaSLaYeR> mobi-sheep:  ok i just think it's a stupid warning :$
[09:02] <airtonix> four, does this thread help you ? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=337599
[09:02] <denysonique> funkiwan: as long as firefox knows about it will 'scan' it imho
[09:03] <MaSSaSLaYeR> mobi-sheep:  another question can i automatically give my user root privelleges instead of typing them when i want to do something?
[09:03] <mobi-sheep> MaSSaSLaYeR: You mean sudo?
[09:04] <ikonia_> MaSSaSLaYeR: not recommended, can cause a lot of problems, look at sudo -i or changing the sudoers file to not prompt you for a sudo password with visudo
[09:04] <IdleOne> MaSSaSLaYeR: running as root is unsafe
[09:04] <MaSSaSLaYeR> IdleOne:  not connected to internet with ubuntu laptop =)
[09:04] <mobi-sheep> !sudo | MaSSaSLaYeR
[09:04] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ok thanks
[09:04] <mobi-sheep> MaSSaSLaYeR: It is not just about Internet.
[09:05] <MaSSaSLaYeR> Is anyone here good with installing drivers?
[09:05] <mobi-sheep> !anyone | MaSSaSLaYeR
[09:05] <four> airtonix, it helps a little...this program i am using is using an icon i dont even have, according to nautilus
[09:05] <airtonix> four, which version of ubuntu are you using and what is the name of the icon theme ?
[09:05] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ok i will reform :p
[09:05] <four> airtonix, ubuntu 9.10, and the theme is gartoon redux

[09:32] <supertimmy> Hi all. I am hoping someone can help me with a PPTP VPN connection issue with network manager. Trouble is that the connection will not connect within Ubuntu 9.04 but I have Windows XP running inside a virtual box on the same PC and that connects instantly. I have looked around on the internet and tried disabling EAP and MPPE but I get the same LCP timeout issue. The output from a tcpdump on both Windows and Ubuntu is at http://paste.ubuntu.
[09:32] <om26er> Linux4Family, this bug was fixed in ubuntu 9.10
[09:32] <mehedi> i have mistakenly deleted Internet connection tool from panel. how can i install it in the panel again?
[09:32] <Linux4Family> becuse i installed my modem and i have problem with my sound
[09:32] <mehedi> i have mistakenly deleted Internet connection tool from panel. how can i install it in the panel again?
[09:33] <om26er> Linux4Family, plz. state your complete problem in one line..
[09:34] <paulofreitas> Hey there, this shouldn't work? find -type f -name '*.{gif,png}'
[09:34] <mehedi>  i have mistakenly deleted Internet connection tool from panel. how can i install it in the panel again?
[09:34] <goddard> how can I combine two different connections for added bandwidth speed increases?
[09:35] <Diverdude> mehedi, just use adp get install
[09:36] <rww> mehedi: has your volume icon disappeared too, or just the networking one?
[09:37] <paulofreitas> Hey there, this shouldn't work? find -type f -name '*.{gif,png}'
[09:37] <mehedi> volume icon too
[09:37] <erUSUL> paulofreitas: find -type f -name '*.gif' -name '*.png' -print

[09:38] <mehedi> > i have mistakenly deleted Internet connection and volume icon tool from panel. how can i install it in the panel again?
[09:38] <rww> mehedi: right-click your panel, click "Add to Panel...", choose "Notification Area" in the window that appears and click "Add", and it should reappear.
[09:38] <rww> mehedi: if you want to move it once it appears, drag the little grey bar to the left of the volume and networking icons to the right place.
[09:39] <paulofreitas> erUSUL: ouch! thanks for the answer dude :) ... this syntax is allowed in other unixes, I'm surprised that it's not present here
[09:40] <erUSUL> paulofreitas: sorry you need -o --> find -type f -name '*.gif' -o -name '*.png' -print
[09:40] <rww> paulofreitas: it probably is with some combination of quotes and escaping, but erUSUL's way is simpler :)
[09:40] <paulofreitas> erUSUL: oh ya, I noticed :D
[09:41] <echotone> I have 2 patitions for ubuntu. Can i delete one and have the other regognize the extra space?
[09:41] <rww> mehedi: (please don't PM channel users without permission.)
[09:42] <rww> mehedi: that grey bar is just to the left of the icons in the notification area. It's difficult to see sometimes, unfortunately.
[09:42] <erUSUL> echotone: if they are one after the other you can use gparted to remove one and grow the other to fill the entire free space
[09:42] <Guest15081> what is ubuntu?
[09:42] <zelnick> hey, whats the audio mixer in the panel called?
[09:42] <Guest15081> where does it come from?
[09:42] <erUSUL> !ubuntu
[09:42] <rww> Guest15081: It's a Linux-based operating system, derived from Debian Linux.
[09:43] <echotone> i am in puppy linux right now. I am using gparted but i cant seem to "grow" the partition i want.
[09:43] <Guest15081> how do I say "ubuntu"?
[09:43] <Guest15081> why does it sound so weird?

[09:50] <Linux4Family> no
[09:50] <Linux4Family> what do now
[09:50] <supertimmy> I have configured it as detailed in that link (the GUI way at least) Trouble is that the connection will not connect within Ubuntu 9.04 but I have Windows XP running inside a virtual box on the same PC and that connects instantly. I have looked around on the internet and tried disabling EAP and MPPE but I get the same LCP timeout issue. The output from a tcpdump on both Windows and Ubuntu is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/343408/
[09:51] <isolat3dsh33p> Linux4Family: Have you muted the mic?
[09:51] <Linux4Family> ok
[09:51] <indus> Linux4Family: right click on panel and open  the audio icon

[09:56] <Trota> morning trollin to make the day better
[09:56] <indus> Linux4Family: does this happen when you play some thing?
[09:56] <Guest15081> ok, I just installed ubuntu....check out my screenshots: http://picasaweb.google.com/pwnedulongtime/Linux#
[09:56] <mobi-sheep> reactor: Good call. I thought Trota was some idiot from Porto.

[09:56] <atul_> upgrade i mean
[09:56] <reactor> mobi-sheep, ?
[09:56] <Linux4Family> no i hear it in 2 min once
[09:57] <atul> I have upgrade perl version 5.6 to 5.10 but still he is showing 5.6 how to change it to 5.10 in Ubuntu machine
[09:57] <indus> Linux4Family: ok i dont know this one
[09:57] <indus> Linux4Family: can i see output of lspci
[09:57] <indus> !paste | Linux4Family
[09:57] <Linux4Family> ok
[09:58] <mobi-sheep> Linux4Family: You upgraded to Karmic or was it a clean installation?
[09:58] <indus> !ops Guest15081 possible nsfw link and former troll
[09:58] <indus> !ops |  Guest15081 possible nsfw link and former troll
[09:58] <Linux4Family> you can see it here         http://paste.ubuntu.com/343443/
[09:59] <mobi-sheep> indus: It is safe. ;(
[09:59] <indus> Linux4Family: thanks ill see
[09:59] <Linux4Family> ok
[09:59] <Linux4Family> tank you
[09:59] <indus> mobi-sheep: aah my mistake then, but is same guy asking what is ubuntu etc
[09:59] <Flannel> indus: Possible?  I don't see it.  But chill
[09:59] <mobi-sheep> indus: Yes. Same troller.
[09:59] <avishek> If I set my /home on to an NTFS external USB HDD, will there be any conceivable problems?
[10:00] <indus> Linux4Family: in the sound preferences, which devices do you see?
[10:00] <indus> in volume icon i mean
[10:00] <mobi-sheep> avishek: Non-native filesystem? I hold your palm and I foretell your future -- a problematic future.
[10:00] <Linux4Family> no divce
[10:00] <Linux4Family> but i have sond
[10:01] <indus> Linux4Family: what? right click on volume icon and it opens a few tabs in a window
[10:01] <Linux4Family> i dont have any divce there
[10:01] <avishek> mobi-sheep: the idea is to have a Samba server with everyone's home directories on an external USB HDD. If the HDD is ext4, will it still be accessible to Windows clients over Samba?
[10:02] <indus> Linux4Family: no device hmm, do you hear sound when you play something?
[10:02] <Linux4Family> yes
[10:02] <indus> strange
[10:02] <Linux4Family> can i speak music
[10:02] <mobi-sheep> avishek: http://tinyurl.com/6m8fpb
[10:02] <Linux4Family> yes can i use music
[10:02] <indus> Linux4Family: speak music? what it means
[10:02] <supertimmy> My problem seems to be that PPTP sends an LCP conf request, the server sends a LCP conf reject and pptp ignores that and keeps trying to send the same conf request.
[10:02] <indus> Linux4Family: you mean you can hear music
[10:03] <Linux4Family> yes
[10:03] <indus> !who | Linux4Family
[10:03] <Linux4Family> tank you
[10:03] <mobi-sheep> avishek: Windows clients can read the files over Samba (regardless of HDD formats).
[10:03] <indus> Linux4Family: can you take a screenshot of this sound preferences window
[10:03] <indus> and paste
[10:03] <Linux4Family> ok
[10:03] <mobi-sheep> avishek: Samba is a protocol, just like http or IRC. It does not concern what filesystems or OSes people are using.
[10:04] <avishek> mobi-sheep: thank you! I appreciate your help. Sorry for my newbie question :)
[10:04] <mobi-sheep> avishek: Read the link. I cry at the thought of NTFS. :'(
[10:04] <RLa> i added user to group shadow but it can't still read /etc/shadow, is there some other protection mechanism that does not let read it?
[10:05] <avishek> mobi-sheep: so do I! But in my company I'm the only one using Linux -- the rest swear by Windows!
[10:05] <Linux4Family> where i paste it
[10:05] <indus> Linux4Family: same like before
[10:06] <mobi-sheep> !paste | Linux4Family
[10:06] <EsatYuce> How can i contact to Launhpad's managers?
[10:06] <avishek> mobi-sheep: But over time, I've managed to have all servers run on Linux!
[10:06] <indus> Linux4Family: imagebin.org
[10:06] <Linux4Family> ok
[10:06] <Flannel> EsatYuce: #canonical-sysadmin perhaps.  What for?
[10:06] <Flannel> RLa: Why do you want to read /etc/shadow?
[10:06] <EsatYuce> Flannel, i m member of one team.
[10:06] <RLa> Flannel, a tool uses this for authentication
[10:06] <indus> EsatYuce: something wrong with lauchpad?
[10:06] <Flannel> EsatYuce: Yeah, that's the channel you're looking for then
[10:07] <avishek> mobi-sheep: I'm using irssi, I tried the link externally on firefox, but it doesn't open.
[10:07] <mobi-sheep> Flannel: He want to read passwords in encrypted formats. ;(
[10:07] <EsatYuce> indus, : no, just i will want them to fast our mother language translations
[10:07] <isolat3dsh33p> RLa: << sudo gedit /etc/shadow »
[10:07] <indus> EsatYuce: ok
[10:07] <indus> EsatYuce: which language btw?
[10:07] <tech404> How would I go about encrypting my home and swap with luks in 9.10? I want to use luks over encryptfs because it's a single user system.
[10:07] <mobi-sheep> avishek: It opened fine for me. Check your spelling or something.
[10:08] <toehio2> How do I start apache2 on an ad hoc basis? (I don't need apache2 running all the time, but only need to start it when I need it)
[10:08] <indus> Linux4Family: i wait for paste
[10:08] <mobi-sheep> !alternative | tech404
[10:08] <RLa> isolat3dsh33p, it's used by some tool for authentication, i do not want to read it myself
[10:08] <RLa> isolat3dsh33p, or edit it
[10:08] <mobi-sheep> tech404: Alternative Disc contains supports for LVM2 + Cryptsetup (encryption).
[10:08] <Flannel> toehio2: What version of Ubuntu?
[10:08] <avishek> mobi-sheep: tried twice. But you have answered my question already. Many thanks!
[10:09] <toehio2> @Flannel: 9.04
[10:09] <isolat3dsh33p> RLa: What are you trying to do again?
[10:09] <RLa> the user has group 'shadow', /etc/shadow is readable by group 'shadow', still, for the user it fails, can't read it
[10:09] <Linux4Family> you can see it here    http://imagebin.org/75833
[10:09] <Flannel> toehio2: sudo service apache2 start
[10:09] <indus> Linux4Family: ok strange no devices yet you hear sound
[10:10] <Linux4Family> ok
[10:10] <indus> !sound
[10:10] <toehio2> @Flannel: nevertheless, I believe that the service will always start up at bootup
[10:10] <Flannel> toehio2: correct, but you can change that too
[10:10] <Linux4Family> how i can slove it
[10:10] <Flannel> !bum | toehio2
[10:10] <toehio2> @Flannel: Thanks, I will look into it.
[10:10] <avishek> Here's another newbie question: If I want to set my /home to an external USB HDD, do I need to specify this in /etc/fstab?
[10:10] <isolat3dsh33p> Linux4Family: Interesting phenomenon D:
[10:11] <indus> Linux4Family: type sudo aplay -l in terminal
[10:11] <rww> avishek: yes
[10:11] <indus> brb
[10:11] <avishek> rww: thank you! Can I still keep a /home directory on my internal HDD, or do I need to rm it?
[10:12] <llutz> avishek: you can keep it, it will be invisible it usb is mounted
[10:12] <llutz> if
[10:12] <Linux4Family> i did it
[10:12] <rww> avishek: if you have a /home directory on your / partition, it will be hidden and inaccessible when the external /home is mounted, but will reappear if the external is unmounted.
[10:12] <Linux4Family> i do it
[10:13] <tech404> mobi-sheep, So I used the mini to install.... Are you saying that I can encrypt while partitioning instead of saying ok to the "would you like to encrypt your home directory" question. If I do it that way will pam_mount or similar be configured or will I end up getting asked to provide a password before I authenticate?
[10:13] <tech404> mobi-sheep, also thankyou
[10:13] <stanley_robertso> Hi all, anyone used Virtualmachine to run Ubuntu ?
[10:13] <avishek> So I think it's possible to login w/o the external being mounted at boot time?
[10:14] <Linux4Family> you can see in here   http://paste.ubuntu.com/343454/
[10:14] <nnull> anyone recommend a program for bluetooth connectivity to current mobile phones?
[10:14] <kinja-sheep> tech404: I don't know if minimal install ISO contains files for cryptsetup+lvm2 and I'd imagine they does. When you boot up, you'll be prompted to type passphrase (a lengthy one, I hope) before anything goes. The only partition that will not be encrypted is /boot .
[10:15] <llutz> avishek: your internal-hdd /home won't be updated, so don't expect to have same settings like using usb-home
[10:15] <stanley_robertso> can somebody help me please
[10:15] <indus> Linux4Family: looks good
[10:15] <llutz> !anyone | stanley_robertso
[10:15] <indus> Linux4Family: is your system uptodate?
[10:15] <tech404> kinja-sheep, yeah.... see I was trying to avoid that. trying to keep things speedy.
[10:15] <Linux4Family> yes
[10:15] <Linux4Family> is updated system
[10:16] <stanley_robertso> Does anyone used Virtualmachine to run Ubuntu ?
[10:16] <avishek> llutz: no, my idea is that there is only 1 admin a/c on internal that logs in and manually mounts the external for the others
[10:16] <Linux4Family> how i can slove it
[10:16] <RLa> isolat3dsh33p, that simply required system reboot
[10:16] <tech404> kinja-sheep, thank you though.
[10:16] <mobi-sheep> tech404: Meh? You do know the most slow and instability part of the computer hardware is the hard drive? :o
[10:16] <RLa> i thought that group changes etc. do not require system reboot
[10:18] <tech404> mobi-sheep, yes. esp on a 54k laptop drive. thats why don't want it doing any extra work.
[10:18] <tech404> 5.4k that is
[10:19] <tech404> 54k.... i wish
[10:19] <avishek> Thank you all for your help! See you again sometime.
[10:19] <llutz> tech404: 54k would sound like being at the dentist, nobody wants that :)
[10:20] <Linux4Family> indus: how i can slove it
[10:21] <trayzz> i added commands to ~/.profiles but after restart i always have to type ". ~/.profiles" to use them. is there a way to make ubuntu read the file at startup by default?
[10:22] <mobi-sheep> trayzz: What are you trying to accomplish?
[10:22] <llutz> trayzz: it's .profile

[10:24] <trayzz> mobi-sheep i have to type ". ~/.profile" after any restart to use the commands i added, i just think there should be an easier way though i don't know what
[10:24] <sirMajid> hi everybody, I can't connect to yahoo or google by pidigin, does anyone know what the problem is?
[10:25] <llutz> trayzz: you have to use ~/.bashrc if its not a login-shell (.profile is only read if bash is interactive login-shell, man bash, invocation)

[10:28] <trayzz> llutz what should i add to ~/.bashrc ? the commands or .profile?
[10:29] <llutz> trayzz: the commands
[10:30] <llutz> trayzz: you also should source your ~/bashrc into your ~/.profile, so your commands will be always used
[10:30] <llutz> ~/.bashrc*
[10:30] <trayzz> like alias command1="wine 'path'" ?
[10:30] <llutz> trayzz: yup
[10:30] <trayzz> llutz how do i source it then?

[10:50] <vegombrei> indus: nope doesnt work
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> what: some of those creative sound cards can be a pain in the ass to get working. They can't even support windows properly
[10:50] <what> i've gone through the regular list.
[10:50] <blinkiz> hello. I have an application that listen on 4285. I would like to use iptables so it also listen on 443. How can I set this up with iptables
[10:50] <what> moving on.
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> what: you may have toswitch to OSS
[10:50] <what> ActionParsnip, false.
[10:50] <ActionParsnip> what: you'll see
[10:51] <what> ActionParsnip, no i wont.
[10:51] <what> first off, double clicking the sound icon has been depreciated.
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> what: or you can compile alsa
[10:51] <maxagaz> how to copy /my/path/myfiles to /opt/my/path/myfiles, creating sub-directories my and path if they don't exist in /opt ?
[10:51] <what> i could, however my card should be supported by default.
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> what: no it shouldnt
[10:51] <what> how about actually looking at the lspci and tell me if that specific one is.
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> what: no hardware necessarily should work
[10:52] <what> ActionParsnip, actually a chunk of x-fi's have been supported out of the box for 2 cycles
[10:52] <what> ActionParsnip, ok we're done, you obviously have no clue what we're talking about here.
[10:52] <what> go back to troubleshooting notepad or something lol
[10:52] <betlog> i am using an xfi.. is supported under karmic.. wasnt a few weeks ago though..may not have been karmic then however
[10:52] <vegombrei> indus: anything i can do to fix this?
[10:53] <what> betlog, check out /exec -o uname -a
[10:53] <what> Linux what-gives 2.6.31-17-generic-pae #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 17:23:29 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

[10:53] <Zwierzak_> hello
[10:54] <what> look at post 6 of first thread
[10:54] <what> the op was correct in that his card 'should' have worked
[10:54] <indus> vegombrei: which site is this?
[10:54] <what> however he did not present the hardware id's of the card
[10:54] <indus> aahdamn it
[10:54] <ActionParsnip> what: here is a ppa with it on: https://launchpad.net/~wdaniels/+archive/alsa-backports
[10:55] <what> this sort of thing can be gotten from lspci - and if you add up to 3 v's for verbosity, youve plenty to work with

[10:57] <Zwierzak_> live cd
[10:57] <what> you will need to make one of 2 decisions:

[10:58] <what> 2. make custom cdrom
[10:58] <what> now for now lets get 1 working, then we talk about 2 ok?

[10:59] <ActionParsnip> what: you want me to link, please direct your text, see how my text to you highlights
[11:00] <what> totem-gstreamer is already installed Zwierzak_ but its not very good, so try each player one by one.
[11:00] <Zwierzak_> vlc i have but they dont have that funcition
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> what: nvidia ppa: https://launchpad.net/~nvidia-vdpau/+archive/ppa
[11:00] <what> each of these has playlist abilities, but for mplayer i recommend smplayer front end, its amasing
[11:00] <what> ActionParsnip, yeah sure, sorry thanks
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> what: cli interface is amazing too, no need for x either :)
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> what: if you websearch for: nvidia ppa   it will appear

[11:02] <what> Zwierzak_, you have many files for it to play again and again from?
[11:02] <zzzzzZZZZzzz> ◕ ◡ ◕
[11:02] <what> properties on empty area and unclick expand silare
[11:03] <what> Zwierzak_, push control and then tap L when selecting vlc
[11:03] <silare> what: I mean... Force it to be 22px. >.> It can get to 23px, but not 22px.
[11:03] <what> silare, that depends on whats on it - change themes especially icon themes
[11:04] <przemek_> jest tu ktoś z polski
[11:04] <what> !polish
[11:04] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ActionParsnip:  doesn't work it was goen after i installed wireless driver

[11:04] <what> przemek_, polish yes? this channel is the english one? if you can speak some english go ahead and ask here ok?
[11:04] <silare> what: If it varies by theme, what in a theme controls panel?
[11:04] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ActionParsnip: the toolbaar at the bottom is gone and also the tools in the right bove corner
[11:05] <what> silare, install a few gtk2 engines and themes and find out - but i already gave a hint buddy
[11:05] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ActionParsnip:  they dissepeared after i installed them, it's a clean install

[11:07] <caulagi> hi - i am not getting sound.  I have already read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems and a few links
[11:07] <what> just started reading i've no idea where i'm gonna end up with that
[11:07] <caulagi> where should I look?
[11:07] <what> caulagi, first, please describe all hardware, then in terminal do lspci -vvv and pastebin it
[11:07] <what> !pastebin
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> what: if you read the HCL you can buy sound cards which work out of the box and avoid a lot of heartache
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> what: you can use: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; lspci -vvv | pastebinit     to generate a url, no need to manually visit websites
[11:08] <what> i've no intentions of changing my purchasing pattern to meet a specific os's pattern
[11:08] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ActionParsnip: the bug is that the screen is widdenth
[11:08] <what> and what are its default settings?
[11:08] <ActionParsnip> what: if you pipe the output to xclip you don't even have to manually copy the url it makes ;)
[11:08] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ActionParsnip:  so the lower panel is not shown
[11:08] <papul> how do i install the gmail notifier?
[11:08] <alexandre> hi!
[11:08] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ActionParsnip:  probaly graphic driver problem?
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> what: saves pain
[11:09] <papul> !hi | alexandre
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> papul: sudo apt-get install gmail-notify
[11:09] <ActionParsnip> !info gmail-notify
[11:09] <papul> ok
[11:10] <grendal_prime> i need a simple email server so i can demonstrate sometihng being sent from box <IP_ADDRESS> to box <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:10] <what> sounds interesting ActionParsnip
[11:10] <what> !email
[11:10] <grendal_prime> i have postfix on the 254 box.  I cant seem to get exip to send to it though
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> grendal_prime: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer
[11:10] <what> lol
[11:10] <papul> why cant i login as root?
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | papul
[11:10] <caulagi> what: http://paste.ubuntu.com/343477/
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> !root | papul
[11:10] <papul> i didnt even had to specify a root password during installation
[11:11] <crazydip> whats the name of the panel app with your username, user switch, shutdown, away, etc.?  its on the top right hand side by default in gnome
[11:11] <papul> but why??
[11:11] <what> Zwierzak_, were you able to see the playlist for the vlc there sir?
[11:11] <Flannel> papul: The root account is locked, you can use sudo to do things with elevated privledges
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> papul: root is disabled for security, use sudo and gksudo if you need admin powers
[11:11] <what> papul, its not as secure
[11:11] <Flannel> papul: Because there's no real good reason for the root account to be enabled
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> this old chestnut eh Flannel
[11:12] <what> if you do 'sudo -i' then you can be root, or set a root password with 'sudo passwd'
[11:12] <papul> ohh.... then i have gotta inform other distro users not to use root ;)
[11:12] <what> if you do 'sudo -i' then you can be root, or set a root password with 'sudo passwd' @ papul
[11:12] <Flannel> what: Please don't suggest that here, thanks.
[11:12] <what> papul, you add people to sudo list instead - 'visudo -f /
[11:12] <crazydip> nm, found it! indicator-applet-session :D
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> what: do't advise users of that, keep to sudo -i or sudo -s
[11:12] <what> papul, you add people to sudo list instead - 'visudo -f /etc/sudoers'
[11:12] <papul> what, i prefer nano to vi
[11:12] <what> ActionParsnip, actually sudo -i is the recommended way.
[11:13] <papul> ok
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> what: if you read the !root fctoid link it says sudo -s is advised
[11:13] <what> it fully initiates the bash shell for the root user, rather than tying to any user  account
[11:13] <grendal_prime> papul: or sudo -s
[11:13] <what> and secondly Flannel, linux is about choice correct?
[11:13] <what> please try to wait a minute before jumping down my throat as i was bothering to explain how multiple users can also have root privledges IF NEEDED
[11:13] <papul> grendal_prime, for what?
[11:14] <papul> grendal_prime, what the -s for??
[11:14] <grendal_prime> that will persistantly make you the root user..
[11:14] <what> and also please do not assume that we know better than the potential user as to what he should or not do with his box - its his box, his choice, and i totally agree dont set root pw
[11:14] <Flannel> what: Enabling the root account is not supported in this channel.  Please do not recommend it unless you intend to be here 24 hours a day to support those with enabled root accounts.
[11:14] <grendal_prime> you wont have to type sudo in front of everything
[11:14] <grendal_prime> its the same as su to root in debian system
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> what: actually, i read the doc and its neither: http://pastebin.com/m4a5b1139
[11:14] <what> Flannel, and you expect no one to accidentally set passwd when performing several commands with sudo in a row? i've done it lol
[11:14] <papul> and how do i make my computer accesable to all like in public shells?
[11:15] <what> Flannel, how about a factoid for the bot on how to fix a system with a root password?
[11:15] <Flannel> what: It's on the rootsudo wiki page.
[11:15] <what> but please never take the choice away from the user.
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> papul: do you mean access your ssh service from outside your lan?
[11:15] <grendal_prime> you mean...like you need ...what? public shells?
[11:15] <papul> ActionParsnip, yeah that sort of thing
[11:15] <Flannel> what: If you have a problem with our policy, please direct your concerns to the Ubuntu Technical Board.
[11:15]  * airtonix adds +1 to the daily conversation cound about root/sudo
[11:16] <what> papul, maybe if you could describe what you see in your mind we could help a little better?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> papul: yuo will need to setup port forwarding or virtualserver in your router
[11:16] <grendal_prime> im going to bed
[11:16] <MaSSaSLaYeR> How come i don't have an xorg.conf file?
[11:16] <papul> ActionParsnip, that will be done
[11:16] <grendal_prime> night girls...
[11:16] <papul> ActionParsnip, what should i install in the computer???
[11:16] <what> are you forwarding traffic? are you letting people log into the computer? do you have a set user list? are they just sharing files?
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> papul: services use port numbers, you can forward the port on the router to the internal PC and the connection will be mde
[11:17] <papul> ActionParsnip, nothing else to do?
[11:17] <what> papul, it is a very good idea to change the port that sshd runs on
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> what: doesnt matter the service, the port forwarding is still the same
[11:17]  * what sighs
[11:17] <what> obviously
[11:17] <papul> ok got it :) thanks
[11:17] <what> papul its still highly recommended to change the port
[11:17] <ActionParsnip> papul: no, then you connect to the port on the wan IP of your router and the traffic will be forwarded to te system
[11:18] <KismetGFX> will ubuntu run on a mac ppc?

[11:19] <KismetGFX> yeah hardy is what im seeing as far as google searches but thats a whole version behind which scares me if they arent gonna bother continuing ppc
[11:20] <ActionParsnip> KismetGFX: you can upgrade to the next release up pusing the web
[11:20]  * vegombrei cant seem to fix firefox, you tube videos now play but i cant toggle like pause/play forward .. has anyone encountered a similar problem? and how have you fixed this?
[11:20] <zottel> i'm not sure what that means, since the filesystem on my sd-card has a journal?

[11:25] <arand> My imagemagick installation seem to be borked, I've tried resinstalling and reconfigureing the package but still I get this: http://pastebin.com/m6b1284e0 , hence imagemagick is unusable on the system.
[11:26] <Homely_Girl> Good day to the brains!! :)
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> arand: tried: sudo apt-get --purge remove imagemagick; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install imagemagick
[11:27] <Homely_Girl> I am running karmic 'n have plugged in my huawei mobile b/band dongle, it sees it, but won't let me change any settings in network pref's saying I don't have enough priveleges or somming to that effect! I am the boss of this pc, no one else lives here! :( Any ideas?
[11:28] <vegombrei> ActionParsnip: thanks .. that forum page helped me fix it .. is there anyway i could be a member of such forums? any you would reccomend?
[11:28] <devD> is there some utility to see the temperature of the processors ?
[11:29] <MASARUwota> Homely_Girl: run GKSUDO <application which you use to change the network prefs>
[11:29] <Homely_Girl> MASARUwota from the command line? I'm not that much of a geek! lol

[11:30] <MASARUwota> Homely_Girl: lol
[11:30] <Homely_Girl> U have no idea on how fedup I am of having 2 use winblows!!!! :(
[11:31] <Homely_Girl> MASARUwota: Can I assume that since karmic can see the device I don't have the conflicting bug spoken about on the forums??
[11:31] <Homely_Girl> I need a geek in Wales, UK!!!
[11:31] <MASARUwota> yes
[11:32] <verb3k> is it possible to schedule messages in xchat?
[11:32] <arand> ActionParsnip: Similar have been tried, tried yours, no change.
[11:32] <papul> verb3k, ask in #xchat
[11:33] <verb3k> papul, I did but no answer
[11:33] <Homely_Girl> Right, will give it a go, and will be back if it doesn't work!! :) Thanks MASARUwota
[11:33] <papul> verb3k, have patience
[11:33] <zottel> verb3k, that depends on what you mean with shedulling, /TIMER for example  can be used effectively to send messages after booting,
[11:34] <verb3k> zottel, I mean like "After xx time send this message"
[11:34] <zottel> verb3k, /help timer
[11:35] <verb3k> zottel, thank you
[11:36] <arand> ActionParsnip: also tried reinstalling (apt-get install --reinstall) libmagickwand1 and libmagickcore1, no diff.

[11:59] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ./etc/X11/
[11:59] <dare> are you accessing ./etc/X11/*?
[12:00] <dare> because that will be on the livecd's virtual file system..
[12:00] <morleypotter> it will be write protected on the live cd
[12:00] <dare> you need to access it on your mounted physical drive
[12:00] <MaSSaSLaYeR> i need to remove the xorg file because i can't use it normally

[12:01] <ActionParsnip> MaSSaSLaYeR: then run: gksudo nautilus    and you can access the partition from /media
[12:01] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ActionParsnip:  thanks
[12:01] <ActionParsnip> MaSSaSLaYeR: you need gksudo ;)
[12:02] <morleypotter> whats the diff between sudo and gk sudo?
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> morleypotter: gksudo is a symlink to gksu
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> morleypotter: so, nothing
[12:03] <morleypotter> oh right - cheers
[12:03] <Flannel> morleypotter: gksudo is for graphical programs, sudo is for command line programs
[12:03] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ActionParsnip: i still can't access my harddisk
[12:03] <morleypotter> thanks flannel
[12:04] <MaSSaSLaYeR> ActionParsnip:  nvm
[12:04] <MaSSaSLaYeR> it's working

[12:25] <bonez2046> anyone know how fix errors encountered running apt-get? or aptitude?
[12:25] <softy> cant i have a server of my own?
[12:25] <softy> i mean i deploy a server on linux computer
[12:25] <Stunts> wat kind of server
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adobe-flashplugin/+bug/412944
[12:25] <softy> and windows computer becomes its client
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: you installed flash from adobe.com didnt you?
[12:26] <Stunts> nevermind
[12:26] <manish> dAlfa89_: the repos?...i'm a newb, don't know much :)
[12:26] <Stunts> im not a linux networking guru

[12:26] <dAlfa89_> manish, type "sudo apt-get install unrar" in whatever terminal Xubuntu uses (Minus the quotemarks)
[12:26] <bonez2046> did I commit the cardinal sin?
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: thats why you are in this mess, flashplugin-nonfree is all you need to get flash
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> softy:  you can easially install different services on a ubuntu machine.   it deopends on exactly what it is you are wanting to do
[12:27] <bonez2046> but the trick is removing the abode stuff
[12:27] <manish> dAlfa89_:thanks :)
[12:27] <dAlfa89_> manish, no problem (:
[12:28] <upd> ah shit i find mistake.
[12:28] <dAlfa89_> upd, watch your language
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: the bug i gave will get you out, then simply run: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree     and you will have flash
[12:28] <softy> Dr_Willis : i have a computer at my home which has a static ip..my parents use it..i live in hostel i can access that server ...and we need to talk
[12:28] <bonez2046> ok
[12:28] <bonez2046> ActionParsnip: trying this now
[12:28] <plunked> a quick question - if i make install a program in a directory does that mean that I cannot copy the folder elsewhere and expect it to work?
[12:29] <bonez2046> ActionParsnip: does is matter whether one runs apt-get or aptitude?
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> softy:  you really need to do some basic reasearch and reading of linux fundamentals. You could set up ssh on that box and do all sorts of things with it. If you wanted to.
[12:29] <boscop> how can I grep for lines that contain multiple words?
[12:29] <katsu> \server irc.rizon.net
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> plunked:  depends on yhow you 'installed' it.
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: either is fine
[12:30] <plunked> Dr_Willis: make install
[12:30] <softy> i know all that i just wanted name of a p2p voice chat app of this kind
[12:30] <jrib> boscop: you may use regex with grep
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> plunked:  depending on what it is and what else it may of installed.. ive moved  such things around to diofferent machines befor.
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: provided you have only that package installed for flash, yuo will get flash
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> softy:  i dont use P2P other then IRC. and i dont voice chat. so no idea on what apps are avail.
[12:31] <sint> softy: install skype. will work fine and your setup should be finished in 5min
[12:31] <qer2312> boscop: grep -E "(word1|word2|...)" file
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> !skype | softy
[12:31] <plunked> Dr_Willis: hmm okay thanks :)
[12:31] <Stunts> could someone please help me fix my soundservers, my sound card only works with alsa and because of that i get no auidio from any app cept for vlc when i play media because it lets me choose to use alsa
[12:31] <boscop> sometimes vlc or opera allocate all the ram choking my system. how can I automatically kill the app that has allocated the most space when the overall ram usage exceeds a certain point?? is it possible to write a script for that?
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> !sound | stunts
[12:32] <bonez2046> ActionParsnip: what if I have other packages too? I mean, Ihave been trying everything under the sun, er.. Sun to get this working
[12:32] <qer2312> boscop: man ulimit
[12:32] <softy> will try skype ...but my heartly desire was independence from this kind of (service providers)
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: then you will need to remove those too, or they will conflict and you will get nothing
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: if you give the output of: dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf   in a pastebin, i can advise
[12:33] <Stunts> ?
[12:33] <bonez2046> ok
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> softy: could use ekiga

[12:46] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis I know the meaning of the letters at the asterisks but my computer fails to see one harddisk which it did use to see
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> Drknzz: does the storage show up in: sudo fdisk -l
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  see if a live cd sees it.  -  It could be hard drive failure.. or cable failure.. or other things.. If another disrto/live cd sees it.. and ubuntu does not.. well that would point to some ubuntu bug,

[12:52] <theadmin> hungnv: chmod rwx------ or something similar. In Nautilus, you can change "Permission" properties
[12:52] <R1_> Well, I added a script to the grub.d folder and in the script, it refers to a user defined variable that is added to /etc/default/grub . I just wanted to know is there something else I need to do in order for update-grub to recognize the user-defined variable in /etc/default/grub
[12:52] <\bMike\b> Dr_Willis: Great! Thanks
[12:52] <hungnv> theadmin: but when I change mode these file, will pam still work?
[12:52] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis? Shouldn't you be thinking about the version after Vista instead of trying to figure out linux now?
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> hungnv:  thats a veruy good question.. could be tney are the mode they are. for a reason.

[12:54] <Dr_Willis> hungnv:  the only grub2 scripting ive done is just adding a   entry to boot various ISO files. :)
[12:54] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis: it says your name is BillGates in your info
[12:55] <hungnv> Dr_Willis: me ?
[12:55] <bonez2046> OerHeks: I saved that script.. named it 'flashup.py'.. how do I execute it though?
[12:55] <hungnv> Dr_Willis: I never had problem with grub, lol
[12:55] <ashish> sir i want to change the theme used while booting ubuntu
[12:55] <OerHeks> open terminal, go to the folder and use: sudo py flashup.py
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  actually im Steve Jobs.
[12:56] <Drknzz> How can i install gcc 3.xxx in karmic/
[12:56] <Drknzz> ?
[12:56] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis, so it's a joke in your info?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> ashish:  gdm in 9,10 is limited in its themeabiklity. theres some tools out to do some tweaking/changes. but its not near as themeable as the 9.04 gdm yet.
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  No.,. Im really Bill Gates...
[12:57] <bonez2046> OerHeks: ok, I have this.. scott@fyrenice:~$ ls -al flashup.py

[12:58] <bonez2046> OerHeks: at the prompt I type sudo py flashup.py and it does nothing..
[12:58] <hungnv> KongfuToufu: hmm I guess, because noone points it to the right way :-p
[12:58] <bonez2046> OerHeks: and sudo apt-get install python tells me I already have the newest version
[12:59] <OerHeks> bonez2046 did you use chmod first to make this script executable ? chmod +x flashup.py
[12:59] <R1_> ActionParsnip, I've read through the whole page. It does not provide any information about my question
[12:59] <R1_> thanks anyway

[13:00] <hungnv> bonez2046: as root, ./script.py
[13:00] <bonez2046> I followed ActionParsnip's suggestions and it appears to have cleaned things up.. no more errors in installing flashplugin-nonfree.. but after closing firefox and reloading/opening it, still the java content doesn't process or play right
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> bonez2046: then run: sudo apt-get -f install
[13:01] <bonez2046> hungnv: that did it..
[13:01] <bonez2046> action that's all clear too, no errors now
[13:02] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis funny coincidence that there is atually a cd of Live next to my PC

[13:03] <hungnv> bonez2046: I dont know, sorry. You should ask the one who write that script
[13:03] <unimatrix> anyone know a MD5 GPU bruteforcer for linux that also works with ATI cards?
[13:03] <ikonia_> unimatrix: md5 is a checksum
[13:04] <unimatrix> ikonia_: so?
[13:04] <ikonia_> unimatrix: so you want to brute force a checksum ?
[13:04] <bonez2046> hungnv: ActionParsnip OerHeks thanks for your help.. not sure where to turn now, but I'll figure it out eventually
[13:04] <unimatrix> ikonia_: i already did that, on my nvidia card
[13:04] <ikonia_> unimatrix: or is it an md5 password ?
[13:04] <unimatrix> ikonia_: a password obvously
[13:04] <ikonia_> unimatrix: search the repos for the tool you want then
[13:05] <unimatrix> ikonia_: -_-
[13:05] <KongfuToufu> hlp,My mtp device can't be initialized.
[13:05] <unimatrix> ikonia_: we both know these things aren't in ubuntu's repository
[13:05] <ikonia_>  unimatrix then it's offtopic for this channel
[13:06] <unimatrix> ikonia_: unless i'd want that tool to be added to the repo
[13:06] <ikonia_> unimatrix: even then it's offtopic, you'd need to log a feature request
[13:07] <unimatrix> fine, fine, nobody has the answer, got it
[13:07] <ikonia_> ok
[13:07] <chalcedny> i woke up and my desktop computer (ubuntu 9.04) won't focus on the current window and isn't seeing the keyboard. (i'm on my laptop) i need help?!
[13:08] <unimatrix> chalcedny: reboot, it's a compiz issue
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> chalcedny:  do the windows have 'titlebars' like they are supposed to?
[13:08] <Alex_2_3> How can I not substitut, but print a match with sed?
[13:08] <isonoooo_> $B!!(B
[13:08] <Pici> Alex_2_3: sed is for editing the stream, use grep or awk if you just want show matching text.
[13:08] <jrib> Alex_2_3: you can do it with sed but isn't grep made for that?
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> Alex_2_3:  i think you may want to use awk fior that. sed is a 'Stream EDitor'  but  my sedfu is rather lacking.
[13:09] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis, I loaded up in a lower version and it can see the harddisk
[13:09] <chalcedny> Dr_Willis, it's got a titlebar on firefox, but in Xchat it won't raise the current window, it will move the treebar, and let me click on it.
[13:09] <Alex_2_3> grep prints the whole line, is there an option tu just print the match?
[13:10] <jrib> Alex_2_3: -o
[13:10] <Homely_Girl> MASARUwota: I'm no better off! :(
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  what filesystem is on the drive?
[13:10] <Alex_2_3> jrib, just found it in man grep, thx ;)
[13:10] <Homely_Girl> Didn't know wot to do when I ran gksudo! lol
[13:10] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis: linux won't mount it with mount -t auto
[13:10] <Homely_Girl> I told u I'm no geek! lol
[13:10] <MASARUwota> Homely_Girl: i cant drive to the UK, im sorry ;-;
[13:10] <Pici> Alex_2_3: looks like -o should do that, check man grep for more ifno
[13:10] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis how can you see the filesystem?
[13:11] <Vinceman> !filesystem
[13:11] <chalcedny> Dr_Willis, i tried changing mice, but that didn't do anything.
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  what filesystem did you put on it?  sudo fdisk -l   may show it.
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> chalcedny:  could be some quirky compiz issue. Hard to tell. May be best to just log out/back in.
[13:13] <chalcedny> Dr_Willis, i don't run compiz.

[13:16] <chalcedny> Dr_Willis, it also won't raise terminals to close sessions that will mess up if i do that.-- is not seeing the keyboard indicative of anything?
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  i have no idea what some of the words in tha tfdisk -l output mean.   Uitgebreid  and Linux wisselgeheugen     - Its showing you have one hard drive. with  I think 2 partitions. 1 linux, one swap.(guiessing)   so whats the actual problem?

It makes the video slow chippy and quite pixilated. I like istanbul but its slow at recording. Any Ideas at what might solve this or what app to use?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> MyName_: if you have a card in and run: sudo fdisk -l    do you see the partition?
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> chalcedny:  if the desktop is selected and not a window you can type in.. perhaps not.. Its hard to tell.

[13:21] <Vinceman> where's this liuyong??
[13:21] <drxq> i've looked around the forums, couldn't find any working fix
[13:21] <Vinceman> sorry I see him
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  if you have any older kernels in the grub menus. try booting one of them and see if both hard disks show up,  If so. that whould point to some nasty kernel bug.
[13:22] <dandre> I am trying to use remote desktop between two karmic on a local network. This is very very slow. How can I tweak it?
[13:22] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis I did that, I'm on one of them now it see the second drive, the newest didn't
[13:22] <grifo74>  how can i install 3d gma 945????
[13:22] <CShadowRun> dandre use xvncviewer instead of vinagre, vinagre is slow for me too
[13:22] <Guest12886> is there any tool in ubuntu 9.10 to analyze network connection, download, network load etc. ?
[13:23] <Henry_BR> Why Boinc version in ubuntu repository (apt-get install) is sooooo OLD? why isn't it updated? Who would do it?
[13:23] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis it sees ***
[13:23] <chalcedny> Dr_Willis, ActionParsnip the mouse moves fine, but it isn't raising the active windows. capslock does nothing.  can you think of any way to get it to a terminal?
[13:23] <dandre> ok will try it
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> MyName_: sudo modprobe tifm_sd; take the card out, wait 10 seconds, put it back in
[13:23] <paschu> Hey guys, i want that ubuntu ask for a password when i start it, how to do this?
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  i would say check the forums and bug reports then.   Very lijkely some issue with a driver or chipset or something in the lastest kernel updates

[13:24] <cyber_666_uk> thx
[13:24] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis, but for now, how can I mount the drive?
[13:24] <MyName_> thanks ActionParsnip, will check if it works
[13:24] <Vinceman> in the older kernel?
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  use the older kernel. use the proper mount command. Or edit your /etc/fstab
[13:24] <Vinceman> what type ?
[13:24] <Vinceman> (with the mount command)
[13:25] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis^
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  if its linux its whatever you made it. ext2 or ext3 or ext4
[13:25] <Vinceman> I never made anything
[13:25] <chalcedny> cyber_666_uk, it might be useful to tell the kind of drive and the symptoms?
[13:25] <cyber_666_uk> some background, my ubuntu install went tits up after an update, wouldt load the os, couldnt access it in windows so i dl'd some software which ended up doing somthing to my external hdd.
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  then where did it come from?
[13:25] <cyber_666_uk> my fault i know - i shouldt have messed
[13:25] <Vinceman> what do you mean? I put it in there at some LAN-Party
[13:26] <drxq> does any1 have any clues why i'm getting the 'waiting for /dev/mapper/sdaX_crypt' messages during boot ?
[13:26] <dsl_> hello, can anyone tell me if/how I can set up evolution email so it's folders are on a different pc on a windows network please? I have networking all set up but can't see where to set the path for evolutions default folder location
[13:26] <cyber_666_uk> i know have my ubuntu back but my external drive is nt recognised in windows or ubuntu
[13:26] <chalcedny> cyber_666_uk, it's a computer, they were made to mess with, how else would you find out anything?
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  so someone aprtitoned the hard disk and made the filesystems.  fire up gparted and see what it says they are.. or try ext4, see if it works
[13:26] <cyber_666_uk> exactly - just saying its not the program i used it must have been me
[13:26] <cyber_666_uk> tinkering :)
[13:26] <Vinceman> can anything go wrong?
[13:26] <Vinceman> if I try ext4?
[13:27] <erUSUL> cyber_666_uk: do "tailf /var/log/messages" and plug the disk paste the new output you get
[13:27] <dandre> CShadowRun: do you know how to scale the display?
[13:27] <CShadowRun> dandre in xvncviewer? you can't
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> Vinceman:  it may say its ext3 or ext2. but the 3 are supposed to play nicely
[13:27] <sixtila> can  a php file to run as a cron job on any server?
[13:27] <dandre> ok :-(
[13:27] <cyber_666_uk> i just get - Dec 17 13:27:25 burfs-pc syslogd 1.5.0#5ubuntu3: restart.
[13:27] <Vinceman> is gparted small? if I install it on this older kernel won't it clog my PC up?
[13:27] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis^
[13:28] <Vinceman> (it isn't installed)
[13:28] <Vinceman> so I'll fire up, I guess that's what you meant with fireup
[13:28] <cyber_666_uk> i messed my hdd up on windws tho - not unbuntu (cos i couldt get into it)
[13:28] <Henry_BR> Why Boinc version in ubuntu repository (apt-get install) is so OLD? why isn't it updated? Who could do it?
[13:28] <erUSUL> !latest
[13:28] <Vinceman> !fireup
[13:29] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis?
[13:29] <chalcedny> Vinceman, did he get busy somewhere else?
[13:30] <cyber_666_uk> can you wipe a drive's letter from it? cos i mounted the linux drive in this windows program and it had no letters, so i assigned one, then for some reason it assigned 2 letters to it (via the program), so i removed both letters, restarted the pc and windows said "sorry couldnt save the data from f: - data wil be lost..." or somthing to that effect
[13:30] <eie> hello
[13:31] <MyName_> ActionParsnip, it didn't work
[13:31] <Vinceman> chalcedny Bill Gates would be annoyed by lesser intelligence from some linux users?
[13:31] <cyber_666_uk> are there any utilities where i can scan for drives and partitions and maybe salvage this drive's data?
[13:31] <AlexanderSupertr> does someone happen to know Google Chrome's user data folder location?
[13:31] <AlexanderSupertr> it's not ~/.google :(
[13:32]  * Psinetic is away: bed
[13:32] <cyber_666_uk> surely a program (sofwtare) cant wreck the data on the drive, maybe just deleted the filesystem or drive letter, partition info maybe?
[13:32] <chalcedny> Vinceman, i'm sorry my lack of abilities offends you. does your mother use linux?
[13:32] <Vinceman> Dr_Willis why does mount -t auto sometimes work and why does it sometimes specifically need the device type?
[13:32] <chalcedny> cyber_666_uk, wonder what a live cd would do?

[13:37] <dsl_> eie: I think you will be ok with XP disc...I've done it before but a long time ago
[13:37] <sixtila> akash thanks, sounds like an easy good idea
[13:38] <cyber_666_uk> so surey it is being recognised but not able to be mounted?
[13:38] <Enissay> MyName_, how?? in the menu only "new, informations" are active!!
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> sixtila: not sure, its an option though. old school email method
[13:39] <Leoneof`> my laptop is: CPU = 2GB dual core , RAM=2GB, Vram= nVidia 512MB  , the problem is...it is something slow since i used Ubuntu the first time was 9.4 and 9.10 now, i see Vista is faster than Ubuntu... what the problem? however... the partition for Ubuntu is 20GB Ext4, and swap is 4GB
[13:39] <MyName_> you need to replace one of the 4 primary partitions you have with an extended one Enissay
[13:39] <MyName_> so, you have to get rid of one partition
[13:40] <Enissay> MyName_, or can i resize one of my partitions without loosing data??
[13:40] <MyName_> if you have four partitions, you have to erase one of them
[13:40] <dsl_> ok, I now now where evolution stores it's email by default but I still can't see how to change the default location within the program. anyone?
[13:40] <eie> dsl_ thx
[13:40] <cyber_666_uk> does anyone have a clue where to go next :) thx
[13:41] <DJones> Enissay: Computers are restricted to having 4 primary partitions, if you want more than 4 partitions on a drive, one of the 4 must be an extended partition, once you've got 3 primary and one extended partition, you can create extra partitions within the extended partition
[13:41] <Leoneof`> hello?
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> Enissay: make sure your backups are recent before you start

[13:47] <oversize_> hi, is it possible to set the group for newly created files/folders to be different then the users group?  e.g. my user:group  is  peter:peter  and new files/folders should be peter:othergroup
[13:48] <erUSUL> oversize_: no that i know of.
[13:48] <DJones> Leoneof`: I don't know the answer, but can you give some details in teh channel, is it specific applications that are slow, internet access, playing video or something else, if you can people an idea what exactly is slow, somebody may be around with an answer that can help you
[13:48] <dsl_> how do i automatically reconnect to a network location (windows lan) at log on please?
[13:50] <erUSUL> !samba | dsl_
[13:51] <dsl_> i can connect manually no problems set up launchers for networked docs etc but have to reconnect each time
[13:51] <dsl_> reading that
[13:52] <MyName_> hmm, there's something inside my sd slot... weird
[13:52] <MyName_> well, thanks for the help
[13:52] <MyName_> bye
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> MyName_:  a sd card? :)
[13:52] <dsl_> hmmm not sure that i want to 'mount' the network share, just be able to browse/access it (or is that the same thing?)
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> dsl_:  thats basically the same thing
[13:53] <dsl_> okies :)
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> dsl_:  gnome has a feature to automount them. but you got to login and access them the first time for it to do that
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> 'auto mount on access' i guess is more proper.. vs the fstab mounting on bootup.
[13:54] <gionnico> hello

[13:56] <cyber_666_uk> yes i used a program on windows to try to access my ubuntu hdd and it ended up wrecking my external hdd
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> cyber_666_uk:  if a ntfs is not cleanly 'removed' when using windows. linux wont mount/access it for 'safty' reasons
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> cyber_666_uk:  use windows to scan/fix the windows disk. not the ubuntu one.

[13:56] <greyoumedical> think you

[13:58] <Dr_Willis> joaopinto:  applications -> accessories -> passwords (or somthing like that)
[13:58] <cyber_666_uk> Dr_Willis: windows no longer recognises the drive either which is why the tools wouldnt work
[13:58] <dsl_> ok thanks, si i need to folow the guide in that link...i suppose a 'guest' folder is the one i need as no password is required and it's read/write
[13:58] <PipiX> Help!

[13:58] <joaopinto> Dr_Willis, that doesn't help, been there, couldn't find it :)
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> joaopinto:  you dident right click to get to the menus
[13:58] <Pici> PipiX: Why can't you join?
[13:58] <joaopinto> Dr_Willis, I don't want to change an item, I want to change the keyring password, the master password
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> joaopinto:  its oddly done in the program.
[13:58] <joaopinto> Dr_Willis, yes I did
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> joaopinto:  yes.. thats how you change iut.. ive done it a dozen times
[13:59] <cyber_666_uk> can i not 'force' ubuntu to mount the drive regardless of the safety issues?

[13:59] <Pici> PipiX: Type this exactly: /join #ubuntu-es
[13:59] <joaopinto> Dr_Willis, so please provide me step by step instructions, I have the application open right now

[14:01] <deever> is there a solution to this grub2 "error: biosdisk read error" error on karmic with a raid/lvm?
[14:01] <joaopinto> Dr_Willis, do you know if there is a bug report about it ?
[14:01] <jmyers> what would cause modprobe to freeze when trying to add ndiswrapper to the kernel?
[14:02] <l3ns_> f
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> joaopinto:  no idea.  It may just be the default gnome gui to the tool. I cant figure out why the tool is  In apps->acessories and not in system ->settings either
[14:02] <pawan> hi
[14:02] <pawan> cant see volume control for oss
[14:03] <raktunak> j #ubuntu-es
[14:03] <raktunak> eheheh
[14:04] <dsl_> Dr_Willis: can you tell me if this line to add to fstab needs to be physically on one line (i.e. no linebreak)
[14:04] <Poundo> is there anything wrong with this crontab entry "52 04 * * * /path/to/my/file"
[14:04] <dsl_> ..servername/sharename  /media/mountname  cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0
[14:04] <dsl_> it's on two lines on that help page

[14:06] <cyber_666_uk> Dr_Willis: i just tried plugig the drive into another windows machine and t works fine (phew) but ubutu still wont recognise it - any suggestions what this could mean?
[14:06] <Poundo> so does this "*/10 * * * * /path/to/my/file"
[14:06] <cyber_666_uk> thx
[14:06] <Pici> Poundo: When are you expecting it to run?
[14:07] <Poundo> Pici: 04:52 am
[14:07] <MindSpark> hi, can someone have a look at my dmesg on http://pastebin.com/mceae798 and tell me what this means ?
[14:07] <Poundo> Pici:"52 04 * * * /path/to/my/file"
[14:08] <Pici> Poundo: Then yes, it should work.
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> cyber_666_uk:  use winows to check/fix the drive.. ALWAYS use windows 'safely remove' feature.. dont hibernate/suspend windows with the thing plugged in
[14:08] <Poundo> Pici: hmmm its not but the wild card versions do. It's like something is wrong with the hour desiginator
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> dsl_:  its always 1 line.
[14:09] <cyber_666_uk> ok, but if windows not recognises it - why wont ubuntu mount it?
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> dsl_:  gotta love bad html/page formating
[14:09] <dsl_> yep i figured sorry...not working..yet :D
[14:09] <sergio_> ciao, si possono scaricare file con questo software
[14:09] <coolcat> hi, How do I make binaries aware of shared libraries path when installing from source? I am trying ./configure --enable-rpath but when I try to run the program it does not find the "libcore.so" ....

[14:10] <stanley_robertso> Dr_Willis, hi
[14:10] <Leoneof`> my laptop is: CPU = 2GB dual core , RAM=2GB, Vram= nVidia 512MB  , the problem is...it is something slow with everything... since i used Ubuntu the first time was 9.4 and 9.10 now, i see Vista is faster than Ubuntu...  the partition for Ubuntu is 20GB Ext4, and swap is 4GB.
[14:11] <KernelFX> salve sergio.. sono italiano
[14:11] <cyber_666_uk> surey it would still show up in the 'computer' section even if it could not mount?
[14:11] <erUSUL> Leoneof`: did you installed the nvidia propetiary drivers ?
[14:11] <dsl_> ack, not working...what is cifs?
[14:11] <sergio_> benissimo, si possono scaricare file con xchat? tipo mirc per windows
[14:11] <Pici> Poundo: The only thing I can suggest is doing '52 4 * * *' not '52 04 * * *'
[14:11] <Pici> !it | sergio_
[14:11] <Leoneof`> erUSUL: yes, i downloaded the latest driver, and installed it, also i can run compiz...etc
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> cyber_666_uk:  you could use the command line tools if you wanted to. but IF the drive is not cleanly removed by windows.. Ubuntu will NOT want to auto mount it.
[14:12] <Poundo> Pici: I'll give it a try thanks!
[14:12] <erUSUL> Leoneof`: then i dunno
[14:12] <Leoneof`> :(
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> cyber_666_uk:  also install/run the ntfs-config tools perhaps to enable full user access
[14:13] <cyber_666_uk> apt-get ntfs-config ?
[14:14] <erUSUL> cyber_666_uk: sudo apt-get install ntfs-config && gksudo ntfs-config
[14:14] <perlmonkey2> Anyone know where I'd start looking to figure out why on some boots of my 9.10 install dynamic frequency cpu changing works and sometimes it is stuck at its lowest setting?
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> dsl_:  cifs is the new improved name for what useb to the 'samba filesystem'
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> perlmonkey2:  on a laptop? ever noticed if it depends on if the Power supply is plugged in when it boots or not?
[14:15] <cyber_666_uk> thx erUSUL
[14:16] <perlmonkey2> Dr_Willis: I don't recall ever booting without the power plugged in.
[14:16] <jasman> help me, how to login root? where i get password? I'm using password when install ubuntu, su: Authentication failure.
[14:16] <dsl_> can't get it to work, i have /media/dslmount as the mountpoint and all set up as per those instructions in fstab. tried changing to codepage=cp850 as its win network but no joy....trying something else
[14:16] <perlmonkey2> Dr_Willis: this morning's boot had it happen again and the power was definitely plugged in.

[14:18] <Vzee> I have pasted it in http://paste-it.net/public/taf5aaf/
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> jasman:  the first user can use 'sudo' you dont use 'su'
[14:19] <cyber_666_uk> what should i put as the mount point - is it expecting a number?
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> cyber_666_uk:  you could set a mountpoint called whatever you want.

[14:20] <poet_> is there any reason the compiler doesnt recognize sqrt() when I'm including math.h?  It;s not a linker problem
[14:20] <perlmonkey2> how do you remove root's pwd and change them to nologin?

[14:25] <Moofius> what was the name of the program that checked the type of an archive (zip, tar.bz2 etc) and extracted it without any fuss?
[14:26] <airtonix> Moofius, you mean from right click menu ?
[14:26] <Moofius> I mean from the console :)

[14:26] <airtonix> Moofius, 7zip ?
[14:26] <airtonix> !info 7z | Moofius
[14:27] <airtonix> !search p7z
[14:27] <erUSUL> Moofius: tar can detect the compresor used. so just "tar xf file" will work on any tar file
[14:27] <stevecoh1> so - any ideas about debugging my karmic/firefox/audio problems?
[14:27] <airtonix> !info p7zip | Moofius
[14:27] <Moofius> erUSUL: well, there is zip and rar and everything else

[14:28] <Dr_Willis> cyber_666_uk:  thers 'not seeing it' then theres 'not auto mounting it'
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> cyber_666_uk:  the system is seeing the hd if 'sudo fdisk -l' shows it.. it may not be auto mounting it for various reasons
[14:29] <cyber_666_uk> fdisk -l only shows the details for the two 40gig's i have. tell you what il try unmounting like a usb device in windows
