[16:01] <pcypher> multi...
[16:01] <pcypher> you know the ssid?
[16:01] <KM0201> multiplatinum: if your wifi device is working, right click the network applet, choose "connect to hidden network" then fill in the network credentials
[16:01] <pcypher> then enter it
[16:01] <Median> sipior: Will get back to you. Is there any tool to monitor the activity and then save it to a file or something?
[16:01] <Median> I don't know if it has gotten better now as i've recently switched server software, so will see if it's still happening.
[16:01] <KM0201> multiplatinum: sorry, that should be "left click" not right click
[16:01] <multiplatinum> KM0201,  done that, it doesnt connect me
[16:02] <sipior> Median: start with just a simple inspection with free and top. iostat maybe, if it looks like i/o is the problem.
[16:02] <KM0201> multiplatinum: then it's very likely your wireless device is not working.. can you see other networks?
[16:02] <multiplatinum> KM0201,  yeah, tons
[16:02] <kermit> is it possible to get scrollwheel emulation on a recent dell laptop's touch pad?
[16:02] <KM0201> multiplatinum: well, you're doin something wrong
[16:02] <KM0201> lol
[16:02] <Median> sipior: Mkay, thanks.
[16:02] <multiplatinum> KM0201,  after trying to connect like 5x, it shows the network, even tho i made it hidden
[16:02] <multiplatinum> KM0201,  what then,
[16:02] <compdoc> induz, a card might look like this:    http://www.tech-faq.com/hba.html
[16:02] <KM0201> multiplatinum: well  i don't know what, i'm nt pounding on the keyboard.
[16:02] <hnil> ???
[16:03] <multiplatinum> how can i join a hidden wifi?
[16:03] <multiplatinum> k KM0201
[16:05] <sprawl> Quick question - I have an Intel proc and I want to download Ubuntu 64 bit but the filename lists it as ubuntu-10.10=desktop-amd64.iso. Is that the right one even though I don't have an AMD proc?
[16:05] <mrbluessbb> What is the audio devices directory named on ubuntu?
[16:05] <hasta2003> sprawl: yes ;-)
[16:05] <sprawl> THANKS!!!
[16:05] <rtdos> will i lose themed / random longins if i upgrade from ubuntu 8.10 to 10.10 ?
[16:06] <Nameless2> just there as AMD is the original source of the 64bit instruction set, later copied by Intel
[16:06] <multiplatinum> are you freaking kidding me that ubuntu can't connect to a hidden SSID?
[16:06] <coz_> rtdos,  most likely yes... if you mean gdm themes
[16:07] <induz> compdoc, I am looking for a USB connector to connect to this HD...or if I can make it a slave on SATA
[16:07] <compdoc> induz,    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrKLX-47rv4
[16:07] <coz_> rtdos,   the way gdm is themes has been completely ch anged
[16:07] <multiplatinum> KM0201,  if i use wcid, will that work?
[16:07] <compdoc> induz, wont work
[16:07] <Nameless2> multiplatinum, what is your desktopmanager?
[16:07] <multiplatinum> Nameless2,  Gnome
[16:07] <KM0201> multiplatinum: it might... but there really should be no need for wicd.. you really should be able to connect w/ network manager
[16:07] <rtdos> coz_ have GDM themes been completely eliminated?
[16:08] <Nameless2> hmm, mine works fine with a hidden network
[16:08] <zachlr> is IRC built into ubuntu, out of the box?  if so, how do you use it?
[16:08] <coz_> rtdos,  no not eliminaged  but  not really themeable as they were...
[16:08] <multiplatinum> KM0201,  wicd is better anyway right?
[16:08] <sandyd> zachlr: use konversation
[16:08] <KM0201> multiplatinum: define "better".. it does the exact same thing as nm-applet
[16:08] <coz_> rtdos,  you can only use the themes available on the system..
[16:08] <rtdos> coz_ security risk? or just was because it was buggy?
[16:08] <sandyd> zachlr: its already set up with freenode
[16:09] <multiplatinum> more technical options?
[16:09] <coz_> rtdos,  not sure why the change  but I believe it is a permanent one
[16:09] <KM0201> multiplatinum: if you can't connect w/ one... it's unlikely you'll connect the other.
[16:09] <coz_> rtdos,  it takes a bit of getting used to
[16:09] <coz_> rtdos,  so dont count on any fancy gdm themes
[16:09] <multiplatinum> ok
[16:09] <zachlr> sandyd, do you access it from the terminal?
[16:09] <mrbluessbb> Anyone?
[16:09] <sandyd> zachlr: no, its a gui app
[16:10] <rtdos> thanks, coz_
[16:10] <Nameless2> multiplatinum, do you have control over the broadcaster?
[16:10] <zachlr> sandyd, oh, okay, I didn't see it.  It might not be shown in the menu by default.
[16:10] <Nameless2> aka network
[16:10] <rtdos> coz_ no other way to change my wallpaper on my login screen?
[16:10] <mrbluessbb> What is the audio devices directory called in Ubuntu?  I need to know to use my capture card.
[16:10] <multiplatinum> Nameless2,  yeah, I own this network lol, I set the SSID to be hidden and I allowed my PC to join it, so...
[16:10] <coz_> rtdos,  no problem... yes you can change the wallpaper
[16:10] <zachlr> thanks sandyd.
[16:10] <sandyd> zachlr: it might not be installed by default btw. I havent used ubuntu for a year now...
[16:10] <Nameless2> multiplatform, lol, what security protection is on it?
[16:10] <KM0201> multiplatinum: well log into the router, and set it to broadcast, and see if you can log in while its broadcasting...
[16:11] <coz_> rtdos,   download this   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/GDM-NEW-MAVERICK  and read it
[16:11] <rtdos> thanks, coz_
[16:11] <multiplatinum> KM0201,  that works
[16:11] <coz_> rtdos,   the wallpaper you want 'Must" be in the /usr/share/backgrounds however
[16:11] <KM0201> multiplatinum: you mean you can connect to it when its broadcasting?
[16:11] <multiplatinum> yeah
[16:11] <zachlr> sandyd, maybe not.  I'll try to figure something out.
[16:11] <multiplatinum> i want it hidden though
[16:11] <Nameless2> so much for the other settings ....
[16:11] <KM0201> multiplatinum: well then you're doing something wrong.
[16:11] <rtdos> ok. thanks, coz_
[16:12] <sipior> multiplatinum: leave the ssid broadcast on. you're causing yourself problems, and there is no security benefit in doing so.
[16:12] <multiplatinum> dang
[16:12] <coz_> rtdos,  when changing the gdm theme from that command ,,,it feels as though and works as though you are changing the entire system theme but that's not the case
[16:12] <sipior> multiplatinum: unless you consider keeping yourself out of your own network a security feature.
[16:12] <Nameless2> :D
[16:12] <multiplatinum> lol :D
[16:13] <Nameless2> multiplatform: stupid question, I know, but you are connecting through "connect with hidden network"?
[16:13] <shubbar> which gui for samba do you recommend?
[16:13] <A_J> mbeierl u here ?
[16:13] <sem> 1;5~1~3;3~/quit
[16:13] <mbeierl> A_J: yes.  what's up
[16:14] <multiplatinum> Nameless2,  yeah
[16:14] <induz> compdoc, its a fujitsu MHT2040A model http://search.fujitsu.com/www/search.jsp?restrict=all_www&q=MHT2040AH+&ie=UTF-8&btnG.x=11&btnG.y=18&btnG=Search
[16:14] <multiplatinum> Nameless2,  i have wicd opened atm, and it shows me the hidden network as \xooo\xooo
[16:14] <A_J> what can i do, if the memory is a mismatch with my mobo
[16:14] <barcef> wow. only 1580 ppl online.. that new floodbot sure gets rid of the riff-raff.
[16:14] <A_J> replace
[16:14] <mrbluessbb> This is frustrating.  I keep asking the same question and no one has an answer.  It would make me think that nobody knows the answer.  But its such a SIMPLE question.
[16:14] <sipior> mrbluessbb: why can't you answer it, then?
[16:14] <KM0201> barcef: what do you mean?.. it just monitors flooding, etc..
[16:15] <mrbluessbb> Because apparently Im wrong.
[16:15] <mbeierl> A_J: yes.  This is not something that I know a lot about (hardware that is)  I just know that it happens.  For example, there are specifications for your motherboard that should state the speed and other requirements for the memory
[16:15] <barcef> KM0201, I got this what is 2+4 thing and it would not let me in until I answered it or registered my nick
[16:15] <rtdos> understood, coz_
[16:15] <sipior> mrbluessbb: you might try just repeating the question every ten minutes or so, instead of the passive-aggressive whining.
[16:15] <mrbluessbb> Its not /dev/audio0 like all the all the ubuntu forums say.
[16:15] <coz_> rtdos,  cool
[16:15] <mrbluessbb> lol Im sorry
[16:15] <KM0201> barcef: yeah...?.. thast what its supposed to do... register your nick, and you'll never haev to do it again
[16:16] <mrbluessbb> I have been trying to get this to work for weeks now.
[16:16] <AdvoWork> anyone know how to lock preferences in firefox 4? ive followed the guide, for ubuntu but it wont lock anything..
[16:16] <A_J> mbeierl but it was workin fine for like 2day, why is it causing poblems now
[16:16] <A_J> 2days*
[16:16] <mbeierl> A_J: did the memtest show a problem?
[16:17] <induz> compdoc, it says on the manual Interface ATA-6 (Max. Cable length: 18inches (0.46 m))(equipped with expansion function)
[16:17] <A_J> it's 5% done
[16:17] <A_J> it's gotta take time
[16:17] <nexes> mrbluessbb: sudo lshw
[16:17] <sandyd> mrbluessb: and dont post the output here, pastebin it
[16:17] <nexes> mrbluessbb: Find the device listed there and it should have it's /dev/xxx location
[16:18] <nexes> mrbluessbb: Or pastebin it here and I can look for you.
[16:18] <mbeierl> A_J: yes, but to answer the question about why would it be fine for a while and then start causing problems...  there are many possible reasons: 1) it heated up and now is a little loose - perhaps just wiggling it can make it better
[16:18] <compdoc> induz, ata-6 is a standard for any drive, but the interface is way different than anything on a consumer drive
[16:18] <mbeierl> A_J: 2) you are using the computer more actively and there is a speed mis-match between the mobo and the ram and it is just now coming to be a problem
[16:19] <A_J> i checked tempratue it's cool, and there in tightly
[16:20] <mbeierl> A_J: what I mean is the temperature goes from room temp to active temp - could be "cool" but it still is above room (like 40-50 celcius ?)
[16:20] <A_J> yeah 45 degree
[16:20] <mrbluessbb> sorry Im new to using the terminal.
[16:20] <A_J> here is my board http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=PYvbfOokwxUzJky3
[16:21] <mbeierl> A_J: but either way, I am guessing.  I really do not know all the tricks to hardware.
[16:21] <mrbluessbb> I dont understand what pastebin is or what this wall of text is.
[16:21] <A_J> mbeierl can i repair ubuntu some how ?
[16:21] <codemagician> i deleted the volume control button from the gnome panel... how do I get it back (its not in the default list)?
[16:21] <A_J> or a system restore
[16:21] <numberto> Have been just downloading a video. It downloaded 93% (via download them all - firefox).  I restarted the computer and now cannot find it
[16:21] <xangua> codemagician: add the indicator to thee panel
[16:22] <A_J> codemagician try add applet > notifiations
[16:22] <A_J> or indicattor
[16:22] <MikeNT> How do I view what hidden processes UNHIDE found? No idea where to look.
[16:22] <rtdos> is there a way to permanently disable the fast user switching applet ?
[16:22] <numberto> I guess it downloaded to a different directory, how can I find recend files
[16:22] <mbeierl> A_J: I don't think your installation is in need of repair.  What you could try doing is to run from the live CD for a while and see if it displays the same behaviour
[16:22] <maco> mrbluessbb: pastebin is a type of website where you can paste large quantities (or small) of text instead of pasting into the chat room and making it scroll everyone else's conversation past
[16:22] <nexes> mrbluessbb: Copy the text you gathered from the terminal and go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste it there, then give us the link.
[16:23] <A_J> mbeierl i'll do that then
[16:23] <mbeierl> A_J: so to check on memory compatibility - go to the specifications tab of the mobo and look under the Memory section: 2 x DIMM, max. 4GB, DDR2 667/533 MHz, non-ECC, un-buffered memory.  Is that what you have for your computer?
[16:23] <A_J> mbeierl can i pm for a sec ?
[16:23] <nexes> mrbluessbb: If it would be easier, you can do this instead: sudo apt-get install curl
[16:23] <codemagician> A_J, cool. it was indicator. thanks
[16:23] <mbeierl> A_J: sure.
[16:24] <mrbluessbb> http://paste.ubuntu.com/561022/
[16:24] <nexes> mrbluessbb: sudo lshw | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us
[16:24] <nexes> Ah, never mind then. :p
[16:25] <rtdos> is there a way to permanently disable the fast user switching applet ?
[16:26] <darknature> Hello just curious but anyone know if a nvidia current drivers 270.18 support opengl higher then 1.4?
[16:26] <codemagician> is there a way to install gnome on netbook remix 10.10 using only shell (there is an error about dependencies being broken)
[16:27] <nexes> mrbluessbb: Sorry, there's nothing that I can immediately see and I need to get back to work. If no one here has any advice, try making a forum post.
[16:28] <compdoc> A_J, lots of ram requires that you set the voltage higher than normal - the voltage it needs is usually written on the sticker
[16:28] <mrbluessbb> uh
[16:28] <mrbluessbb> What does curl do exactly?
[16:29] <compdoc> downloads from an url
[16:29] <nexes> mrbluessbb: You can ignore that, I was just trying to make it easier for you to paste that output. curl is a library for downloading/communicating with web servers from the command line.
[16:29] <raviepic3> people not able to play any flv or swf files in my firefox or chrome browsers all of sudden
[16:29] <raviepic3> any idea why ?
[16:29] <haninani> hey guys
[16:29] <mrbluessbb> Ok.
[16:29] <raviepic3> very urgent please help
[16:29] <hilarie> Okay, so I am trying to add a start up program "Xchat" so I put Xchat in the name, and in the command I just put, Xchat? or could I put a pause -60 Xchat?
[16:29] <haninani> may i pm some linux expert in here ?
[16:30] <jrib> hilarie: "xchat" lowercase, probably.  Check in your terminal.
[16:31] <rtdos> how is curl different than the line mode browser ?
[16:31] <jrib> rtdos: what is "the line mode browser"?
[16:31] <hilarie> @jrib program names are case sensitive?
[16:31] <jrib> hilarie: all filenames are case-sensitive
[16:31] <rubbs> !pm | R4pt0r
[16:31] <mbeierl> R4pt0r: I think it would be better to ask a general version of your question rather than hope someone will admit to being an "expert" :)
[16:31] <hilarie> @jrib wow
[16:31] <R4pt0r> hmmm
[16:31] <rtdos> @jrib: http://www.w3.org/LineMode/
[16:32] <R4pt0r> i just want to ask about some links to articles which are involved in terminal studying
[16:32] <hilarie> @jrib how do I force a pause or a wait or delay of some sort?
[16:32] <R4pt0r> am new to ubuntu
[16:32] <nexes> rtdos: curl is like a more feature packed wget
[16:32] <R4pt0r> and need to know about the terminal
[16:32] <jrib> rtdos: curl is more like wget
[16:32] <mbeierl> !terminal
[16:33] <R4pt0r> tyvm
[16:33] <jrib> hilarie: you can use "sleep N" where N is a the number of seconds, but you shouldn't need to
[16:33] <mbeierl> R4pt0r: if you have questions, do feel free to ask.  Just know this is a support channel and so general discussions are not likely to happen.
[16:33] <hilarie> @jrib I am adding a bunch of internet crap to my startup, and I can't figure out how to autoconnect to my wifi, therefore a sleep of 30sec will give me time not to get a bunch of 404's
[16:34] <jrib> hilarie: ok
[16:34] <R4pt0r> ok where are the general discussion channels ?
[16:34] <jrib> !ot | R4pt0r
[16:34] <R4pt0r> ok thank you very much
[16:35] <spoon> i have a strange problem
[16:35] <spoon> i just upgraded to maverick (late, i know) and now guess what: i can't use apt-get, aptitude, synaptic at all...
[16:35] <spoon> i have no idea what i did
[16:35] <jrib> spoon: how did you upgrade exactly?
[16:35] <rtdos> thx nexes and jrib
[16:35] <spoon> update-manager -d
[16:35] <hilarie> hilarie@ebilKitty:~$ sleep 5s xchat
[16:35] <hilarie> sleep: invalid time interval `xchat'
[16:35] <hilarie> Try `sleep --help' for more information
[16:35] <rtdos> is there a way to permanently disable the fast user switching applet ?
[16:36] <spoon> jrib: update-manager -d
[16:36] <llutz> hilarie: sleep 5s ; xchat
[16:36] <jrib> spoon: -d is for devel releases, you don't need -d to upgrade to stable releases.  In any case, pastebin what happens when you try to « sudo apt-get update »
[16:36] <hilarie> @llutz ty
[16:36] <hilarie> Victory! ty

[16:39] <hilarie> Is there a way to add starting up connection to a specific wifi upon startup?
[16:39] <raviepic3> people not able to play any flv or swf files in my firefox or chrome browsers all of sudden
[16:39] <raviepic3> very urgent please help
[16:40] <hilarie> Are your crops going to waste?
[16:40] <spoon> jrib: but whenever i 'apt-get install something' it does nothing after "Reading state information... Done" http://paste.pocoo.org/show/330614/
[16:40] <hilarie> try going to the ubuntu software center and searching for flash, and uninstall it, and re-install it
[16:40] <MonkeyDust> .
[16:41] <jrib> spoon: start by removing the ppa that don't exist
[16:42] <markoso> hi can you make it like in windows seven  you drag a window to right or left side and it docks it there makes it fit that side
[16:43] <jrib> markoso: ask #compiz, I think there's a compiz plugin for that
[16:43] <compdoc> markoso, I use win7, and I hate that feature
[16:43] <LeGambitteur> Hi there
[16:43] <compdoc> its always trying the grab the window from me
[16:43] <markoso> for some reason i love it when im designing web sites and doing coding its nice
[16:43] <rtdos> is there a way to permanently disable the fast user switching applet ?
[16:44] <abhinav_singh> i have an image in jpg format ..it is of 6.5 mb i want it to convert to 1.4 mb..please tell me how to do that
[16:44] <lmh1> hi someone know about Reconstructor linux software?
[16:44] <maco> abhinav_singh: open it in gimp and either resize it smaller or save-as with a much lower quality setting
[16:45] <sipior> abhinav_singh: the "convert" utility from ImageMagick will do just what you want.
[16:45] <Mauricio12345> lmh1 its for make a custom live cd
[16:45] <lmh1> yes, but do it works?
[16:46] <prashant_> hi.......
[16:46] <Skyhooker> Hi, Linux noob here - just installed Xubuntu on an old P3 machine. I added an Adaptec 1205SA PCI SATA card so I can add a SATA HDD.  How do I get Xubuntu to recognize this card so I can use the SATA drive? tyty
[16:46] <banoz> hi there, can you tell me if is possible to disable the recompilation process of the make install using cmake?
[16:47] <lmh1> I get errormessage "Error calculating estimated iso size "NoneType" object has no atribute 'group'?
[16:47] <lmh1> I get errormessage "Error calculating estimated iso size "NoneType" object has no atribute 'group'?
[16:47] <ddr400> Skyhooker, after reboot you dont see if you run a lspci
[16:47] <ddr400> _
[16:47] <sipior> banoz: edit the makefile
[16:47] <spoon> jrib: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/330617/
[16:48] <compdoc> Skyhooker, unfortunately, many Adaptec cards dont have drivers included in linux - you have to install the driver manually, if it exists
[16:48] <rtdos> how can i make my own custom ubuntu livecd or liveusb with only the apps i want?
[16:48] <Skyhooker> ddr400: thanks, how is this done? real noober here
[16:48] <jrib> spoon: you still have apt-get running somewhere or update-manager?
[16:48] <ddr400> write lspci
[16:48] <ddr400> and look for it
[16:48] <spoon> jrib: no
[16:48] <jrib> spoon: check with ps
[16:48] <banoz> sipior, already tried.. if I edit the makefile cmake during the make install, recreates the makefile and recompiles all again..
[16:49] <banoz> sipior, I don't know if is a normal thing
[16:49] <Skyhooker> compdoc: any idea where I'd look for this Adaptec driver?
[16:49] <compdoc> Skyhooker, www.adaptec.com

[16:49] <epox> hello everybody, nvidia mx 440 agp gives me a black screen during install, changed "quiet splash" to "nomodeset single" and i can now go through installing Ubuntu 10.10 on my machine, i just cannot get into ubuntu, how do i enter text mode??
[16:50] <induz> hello
[16:50] <induz> compdoc, r u there
[16:50] <lmh1> hello
[16:50] <compdoc> yes
[16:50] <induz> compdoc, did u read that detail
[16:50] <mrbluessbb> It would seem I don't have audio0 in my dev folder.  How do I fix this?
[16:51] <compdoc> induz, which?
[16:51] <spoon> jrib: so now i get segfault right after "reading state information"
[16:51] <induz> compdoc, about fujitsu MHT2040AH disk
[16:51] <jrib> spoon: "so now"?  Did you do anything?  Also, did your upgrade complete without issues?
[16:51] <NixGeek> epox: if you have ubuntu installed, boot into it and hit ctrl+alt+F1 to go to a virtual terminal
[16:51] <induz> compdoc, what kind of cable is that?
[16:52] <spoon> jrib: i killed a synaptic
[16:52] <spoon> jrib: upgrade did complete fine
[16:52] <spoon> jrib: (i think~)
[16:52] <jrib> spoon: so now « sudo apt-get update » completes fine?
[16:52] <kermit> is it possible to get scrollwheel emulation working on a recent dell laptop's touch pad?
[16:53] <epox> NixGeek: I restarted the computer after Install, and now I am sitting at a black screen, the hdd light has been off for a few min now, im guessing its a login screen. ctrl+alt+f1 didn't do anything.
[16:53] <induz> compdoc,  here http://i.imgur.com/nqHaH.jpg
[16:53] <sipior> banoz: yeah, you have to modify the specification file for the targets. i'd say start here: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ , and here: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake .
[16:53] <Skyhooker> compdoc: no Linux drivers for that Adaptec card from manufacturer - any other workarounds?
[16:53] <compdoc> induz, the fujitsu MHT2040AH is a ide drive - its not fibre
[16:54] <NixGeek> epox: try ctrl+9alt+F2
[16:54] <hilarie> This isn't exactly ubuntu related, but you all seem smart # show random moving animals (n = every n suited tiles, default 1000 random_wildlife_probability = 1000
[16:54] <induz> compdoc, what kind of cable is that connecting the HD?
[16:54] <djindy> An external hard drive is being detected as "read-only", how do I change this so I can also write to it?
[16:54] <hilarie> would I raise that number, or drop it for many less animals?
[16:54] <maco> !ot | hilarie
[16:54] <compdoc> Skyhooker, thats a common problem for linux. I just use cards that have built in drivers - makes life a lot easier
[16:54] <sipior> banoz: cmake projects always strike me as a little more opaque than absolutely necessary. hopefully the docs will be of some use to you.
[16:54] <epox> NixGeek: ctrl+alt+f2 = no results as well, I read somewhere I have to use apt-get to install the drivers using txt mode??
[16:54] <compdoc> induz, its a laptop drive?
[16:55] <compdoc> they sell adaptors
[16:55] <spoon> jrib: yes
[16:55] <epox> NixGeek: is it safe to use the reset/power button at this point (if sitting at the login screen i imagine it is...)
[16:55] <jrib> spoon: pastebin your session with apt-get install whatever
[16:55] <induz> compdoc, the Dell manual said its a Fiber Channel connector...is it possible to hook it up to a PC
[16:55] <ncfi1013> my file manager opens in vlc not in dlophin what do i do?
[16:55] <Skyhooker> compdoc: thx, just happened to have this laying around from a salvaged machine, and budget is mega-tight.  I'll look around, thx again
[16:55] <compdoc> induz, like this:   http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=906&sku=17705
[16:56] <banoz> sipior, thx for the links :)
[16:56] <NixGeek> epox: that should be going to text mode, are you sure ubuntu and grub are installed, and your not just sitting with no boot medium?  also, yes it is safe.
[16:56] <spoon> jrib: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/330623/
[16:57] <compdoc> induz, if that is the correct model number you pasted, then its just an ata-100 ribbon cable drive, but it needs an apaptor to connect to a desktop computer
[16:57] <epox> NixGeek: Ok to be honest i'm not sure what is going on. My monitor had no display when I first tried to install. I googled a few things and I was told to use "nomodeset" option.
[16:57] <jrib> spoon: what's "Muistialueen ylitys"?  Try setting LANG=C LANGUAGE=C
[16:57] <spoon> jrib: segmentation fault
[16:57] <induz> compdoc, yes its ATA100
[16:58] <epox> NixGeek: I was able to install Ubuntu just fine, at the end of installation, it asked for a reboot, and now im stuck at another black screen, which I can only imagine is the login screen..
[16:58] <jrib> spoon: run with strace
[16:58] <compdoc> induz, you just need a cheap adaptor
[16:58] <induz> compdoc, is there any
[16:58] <compdoc> many
[16:58] <epox> Is there an option similar to "f8 / safe mode" for ubuntu 10.10 that will get me to txt mode only?
[16:58] <NixGeek> it sounds like ubuntu desn't like your graphics card.  Do you have another you can use for at least the install and figuring out whats going on with your graphics card?
[16:58] <compdoc>  http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat_id=906&sku=17705
[16:59] <afman>  I've got a quick question: if you have two wireless cards how do you tell which is which in the results of something like ifconfig?
[16:59] <epox> NixGeek: I may be ale to find one yes, although a few web sites suggest getting into txt mode and manually updating my graphic drivers using apt get
[16:59] <ncfi1013> my file manger wont open in dolphin. it opens in vlc. what do i do?
[16:59] <compdoc> no laptop Ive ever seen uses a fiber optic drive
[16:59] <induz> compdoc, I have to get that adapter, i have the SATA cable but they r bigger then its size
[16:59] <NixGeek> epox: are you getting a gub screen (with all of your boot options, normally there are about 4, even for a new install)?
[17:00] <compdoc> induz, you dont have any ide ports?
[17:00] <NixGeek> epox: ^gub^grub

[17:01] <induz> compdoc, I have IDE port on the MB
[17:01] <epox> NixGeek: I did get into the some sort of menu prior to installation by holding "SHIFT" down right as it was loading... is that Grub?
[17:01] <induz> compdoc, but not this 44 pin one
[17:01] <induz> compdoc, the connector i have are PATA with extra power cable
[17:02] <ncfi1013> can anybody help me please?
[17:02] <compdoc> induz, the extra pins are for power - did you see the adaptor I posted?
[17:02] <induz> compdoc, yes i got the picture
[17:02] <NixGeek> epox: it should be after installation, as your booting up.  It sounds like your installation didn't work right, and there is no bootable medium in your computer.  did you checksum your iso before and after burning it?
[17:02] <jrib> spoon: anything funny with /var/lib/apt/extended_states?
[17:03] <Kruptein> hey, for some reason if I install a .deb  by using  dpkg -i filename.deb     there are some differences as using the software centre?
[17:03] <compdoc> many companies make those adpaters
[17:04] <epox> NixGeek: Im "checking disk for defects" right now
[17:04] <epox> NixGeek: it's one of the options i have at this menu i'm able to reach

[17:04] <alice_> @ncfil013 right click on the file u want to open, and select open with....
[17:06] <NixGeek> epox: good, I have personal experience with a bad download.  I alwaus check my iso's before using them becaue I wiped my harddrive trying to install fedora beside windows 7.  I ended up retrieving it, but it took some work
[17:06] <LesBooter> small grey creatures with large heads. so spooky. this music is good
[17:06] <LesBooter> whoops wrong channel
[17:07] <spoon> jrib: seems to be all right
[17:07] <NixGeek> epox: the fedora iso/cd was bad.  also, if the disk IS corrupt, the "check disk for defects" might not actally work right
[17:07] <mrbluessbb> How would I go about making/getting a audio0 file if I don't have one?  (in /dev/audio0)
[17:07] <epox> NixGeek: Ok well I have the .iso on this machine (running xp) which is right next to the machine i'm trying to use Ubuntu on.
[17:08] <epox> NixGeek: Do you know how I can boot into recovery mode?
[17:08] <maco> epox: hold shift during boot then arrow down once and hit enter
[17:08] <foka_sc> hi everybody, who can help me to install Ubuntu, I get some errors
[17:08] <NixGeek> epox: fro the grub boot menu, which you (apperantly) don't have.
[17:09] <NixGeek> !md5 | epox
[17:09] <k_> foka_sc : write your prblem
[17:09] <NixGeek> epox: check your iso using that
[17:09] <drpi> is there anyway I can get my zune working in ubuntu without virtualbox?
[17:09] <djindy> Ok, huge screw up, I tried rewriting a particular small partition on an external hard drive, and it destroyed my entire partition table, including a large HFS+ partition with lots of information on it. Before I use testdisk to recover the filesystem, will I be able to recover the data if I recover the filesystem that way?
[17:10] <jrib> spoon: out of curiousity, does aptitude work?
[17:10] <g_0_0> afman, in ifconfig is one labeled wlan... ?
[17:10] <foka_sc> "No root file system is defined"
[17:10] <spoon> jrib: no, segfault
[17:10] <ComradeHaz`> o.O Has aptitude been dropped from ubuntu 10.10?
[17:10] <RaceCondition> can the Ubuntu netbook edition be configured/neutered enough for it to run on an old IBM ThinkPad with 128MB RAM and a PIII 768MHz CPU?
[17:11] <NixGeek> djindy: yep, I completly wiped a harddrive with a bad fedora install disk and got everything back with testdisk.  it's a great program
[17:11] <epox> NixGeek: happy face, I am now seeing a menu when I held down Shift, GNU GRUB version 1.98+20100801-5ubuntu3
[17:11] <afman> g_0_0: I figured it out I just used iwconfig. One adapter is abgn and the other is just abg. I was trying to figure out which adapter was wlan0 and which was wlan1
[17:11] <djindy> nixgeek, and it will work the same with an hfs+ filesystem? The wiki seemed less clear on that, which is why I ask?
[17:12] <NixGeek> epox: okay, grub installed and is working, i'm guesnning it says 2 ubuntu options (one with recovery mode beside it) and two memtest options, correct?
[17:12] <maco> ComradeHaz`: from the default install, yes
[17:12] <maco> ComradeHaz`: its still available in the repositories
[17:12] <ComradeHaz`> Crazy, surely apt-get is essentially replaced by aptitude?!
[17:12] <epox> NixGeek: exact
[17:12] <jrib> spoon: same lines at the end of strace?
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> ComradeHaz`:  aptitude isent that popular these days.
[17:13] <epox> NixGeek: I think I got a little bit ahead of myself and went ahead and select to run ubuntu in low graphic mode
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> ComradeHaz`:  use what you like. Synaptic is also not installed by default any more
[17:13] <ComradeHaz`> I was under the impression apt-get was essentially becoming deprecated in favour of aptitude?
[17:13] <k_> @foka : you trying a manual install?
[17:13] <NixGeek> epox: use the recovery mode option for a root terminal
[17:13] <foka_sc> yes
[17:13] <Psycho_Mario> hi, is it possible to programmatically get the title of a window in openbox-gnome in ubuntu?
[17:13] <k_> did you make a root partition
[17:13] <Dr_Willis> ComradeHaz`: i rarely use apitude. rarely see guides/.tutorals that use it either
[17:13] <spoon> jrib: no
[17:13] <maco> ComradeHaz`: nope, apt-get acquired the one thing aptitude had over it (removing stuff thats not depended upon) a few years ago
[17:13] <jrib> spoon: pastebin the last 20 or so lines?
[17:13] <NixGeek> epox: Okay, you get a terminal?
[17:13] <ComradeHaz`> hmm, fair enough
[17:13] <foka_sc> I try to put Ubuntu on the 2 partition
[17:14] <ZykoticK9> ComradeHaz`, in 10.10 Ubuntu removed aptitude from the default install?  So what's being deprecated?
[17:14] <maco> ComradeHaz`: i mean, aptitude has other things apt-get doesnt, but theyre kinda obscure advanced-sysadmin stuff, like "aptitude why"
[17:14] <epox> NixGeek: I can now select to run ubuntu in low graphic mode (for one session), to reconfigure graphic, to troubleshoot the error, to exit to console, or to restart X
[17:14] <spoon> jrib: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/330632/
[17:14] <foka_sc> How can I make a root partition?
[17:14] <ComradeHaz`> hmm, aptitude why is hugely useful
[17:14] <k_> @foca:  read this about partitioning, then ask http://www.linuxbsdos.com/2010/11/14/linux-mint-10-manual-disk-partitioning-guide/
[17:14] <NixGeek> epox: try reconfigure graphics first, and then if it doesn't work, try low graphics mode
[17:14] <mrkiko> Hi all!!! A simple question - from where does the patch who allows ubuntu kernels to use UUID to identify root devices come from? Is it a kernel patch or something related to the bootloader?
[17:15] <maco> ComradeHaz`: when you need it, but thats not that frequently (well ok, i need it as a developer to track depenencies, but like...my brother wouldnt)
[17:15] <foka_sc> tx
[17:15] <ZykoticK9> ComradeHaz`, "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" FTW ;)
[17:15] <maco> ZykoticK9: thats the same as apt-get upgrade
[17:15] <maco> ZykoticK9: and aptitude full-upgrade is the same as apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:15] <maco> ZykoticK9: they just renamed them
[17:15] <ZykoticK9> maco, do it isn't - not if you have a partial upgrade situation!
[17:15] <epox> NixGeek: {[I appreciate the help]} -- Ok, I could use default (generic) config or create a new config for hardware... ?
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> apt-get me a beer
[17:15] <cody_> quick q... can anyone recommend a good ircd for ubuntu 10.10?
[17:16] <ZykoticK9> maco, s/do/no
[17:16] <ComradeHaz`> maco: I need it because I run debian unstable :D
[17:16] <maco> ZykoticK9: you mean the situations where apt-get succeeds and aptitude fails?
[17:16] <maco> ZykoticK9: like...every time there's a new kde release...
[17:16] <ZykoticK9> maco, in "development" versions - apt-get will break your system, while safe-upgrade will not.  FTW ;)
[17:16] <NixGeek> epox: lets go with create a new first, and then generic if it doesn't work.  also, what is your graphics card? brand, model, etc
[17:17] <ComradeHaz`> I actually just had that, apt-get dist-upgrade worked but aptitude full-upgrade had some dependancy issue.
[17:17] <ComradeHaz`> (With ubuntu)
[17:17] <maco> ZykoticK9: the breaking your system comes from removing things, same as using dist-upgrade.  apt-get upgrade does partial upgrades
[17:17] <jrib> spoon: you can try http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=773787 but I would backup the files they recommend deleting
[17:17] <epox> NixGeek: Graphic card is a Nvidia MX 440 AGP
[17:18] <ZykoticK9> maco, so does that mean "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will NOT remove packages?  seems strange.
[17:18] <maco> ZykoticK9: aptitude used to call them upgrade and dist-upgrde just like apt-get even!   afaict, they renamed it to stop confusing people who think apt-get dist-upgrade and do-release-upgrade are the same thing
[17:18] <epox> NixGeek: Ok it's looping on me
[17:18] <jrib> spoon: hold on, check out: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=368898
[17:18] <maco> ZykoticK9: aptg-et dist-upgrade DOES remove them, just like aptitude dist-upgrade/aptitude full-upgrade
[17:18] <ncfi1013> my file manager opens in vlc instead of dolphin. what can i do to fix it?
[17:18] <epox> NixGeek: I select new config, hit Ok and it brings me right back to the same screen, same goes for selecting use generic.
[17:19] <maco> ZykoticK9: apt-get upgrade and aptitude upgrad/safe-upgrde (same thing) will not
[17:19] <ZykoticK9> maco, ok - will i still see the need for safe-upgrade then?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> ncfi1013:  you mean when you double click on a folder?
[17:19] <xangua> ncfi1013: right clic on a folder> open with other> open folder
[17:19] <NixGeek> epox: i belive you have to restart for it to take effect, or restart x at least
[17:19] <xangua> at least on gnome, no idea on kde
[17:19] <maco> ZykoticK9: upgrade == safe-upgrade and dist-upgrade == full-upgrade
[17:20] <epox> NixGeek: Ok, ill get back to you!
[17:20] <compdoc> I have to go out and shovel snow...
[17:20] <ncfi1013> my file manager is not open. i cant click on any folders because it opens in vlc.
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> ncfi1013:  right click on a folder icon. theres some open with.. item in there somewhere
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> ncfi1013:  you are using KDE or gnome?
[17:21] <ncfi1013> kde
[17:21] <ZykoticK9> maco, well i probably won't be running another ubuntu-devel version any time soon, so not really an issue for me.  Although I bow to your technical knowledge, i'm still not convinced that apt-get full replaces aptitude in the Partial Upgrade situations...  (only time i've ever had to use aptitude)
[17:21] <jdobrien> does anyone know if something in the last kernel upgrade(maverick) broke suspend
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> ncfi1013:  you maY want to ask in #KUBUNTU
[17:22] <maco> ZykoticK9: you're not understanding what im saying anyway
[17:22] <utente> hello i get this at boot http://pastebin.com/apLcfhMA
[17:22] <ZykoticK9> maco, sorry
[17:22] <maco> ZykoticK9: apt-get upgrade does not remove or add packages, only upgrade them, which is what aptitude upgrade and aptitude safe-upgrade (same command, two names) does
[17:22] <ncfi1013> nobody is talking in #kubuntu

[17:23] <utente> annyone
[17:23] <antonio276> I don't can install midnight commander
[17:23] <maco> ZykoticK9: apt-get dist-upgrade does add/remove packages, which is the same as what aptitude dist-upgrade and aptitude full-upgrade (same command, two names) does
[17:23] <unperson> I'm trying to use a web site with a java application that plays and records sound and I'm having some problems.
[17:23] <bonjoyee> utente: any recent changes to disk partitions?
[17:23] <utente> no
[17:23] <maco> ZykoticK9: however, in some cases, aptitude's dependency resolution is wonky and it tries to remove 3/4 of your kde install if you try to install updates using it
[17:23] <unperson> Right now it seems that both playing and recording are muted and can't be un-muted.
[17:24] <ZykoticK9> maco, "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" actually installs packages, not just update apt database?!
[17:24] <spoon> jrib: i don't see apt.conf; only apt.conf.d and i can't find anything about cache there
[17:24] <maco> ZykoticK9: it upgrades packages tha are already installed
[17:24] <bonjoyee> utente: when was it last working? if ever..
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> i saw aptitude once remove then reinstall like 200 packages on me once...
[17:24] <maco> ZykoticK9:  it does not add or remove packages though. i used the word "not" in that sentence up there ^
[17:24] <jrib> spoon: apt-config dump | grep -i cache
[17:24] <unperson> So, what I'm looking for is a) a good reference site to test that sound (recording and playing) works in java and b) some guidance as to how to troubleshoot the problem.  e.g., is this a common issue?
[17:25] <utente> yesterday it worked
[17:25] <djindy> NixGeek: thanks for the help, its looking like, even though gparted can't see a partition map, I can still read all the data just fine without testdisk or anything. I'm just going to see if I can pull all the data off first just to be safe, but looks like things will be good whether testdisk helps or not.

[17:35] <Dr_Willis> utente:  huh?
[17:35] <ncfi1013> when i restart my computer it says ubuntu so can you guys help too
[17:35] <spoon> jrib: unfortunately no
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> ncfi1013:  as i said.. theres more KDE users in #kubuntu i dont use dolphin enough to even rember how it handles filetypes.
[17:36] <jiehan> Sorry. CORRECTION:  Does anyone know why when I double-click on my Samba Windows share on the desktop, an gEdit window shows up? Thanks!
[17:36] <utente> Dr_Willis, yes, ubuntu iso it's 693 mb, i cant burn
[17:36] <bonjoyee> utente: big? for a cd?
[17:36] <jrib> spoon: gnulib provides /usr/share/gnulib/lib/regex.c here
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> ncfi1013:  your directory/folder typos is some how set to open with vlc. not the 'openfolder' or 'dolphin'
[17:36] <SeanInSeattle> I'm trying to install GNU Screen after having changed the default python version back to 2.5.2.... and I'm getting an error message saying that I need to change the default to match... which is what I did.  Here's what I've got:  http://paste.pound-python.org/show/2341/  Can someone advise me on how to fix this?
[17:36] <jrib> spoon: but I don't even have gnulib installed
[17:36] <utente> bonjoyee yes, i think because the are the wubi exe
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> utente:  it fits on  the rather standard 700mb cd's ive been seeing in stores for he last 5+ years
[17:37] <jrib> spoon: oops. misread your paste.  One second.
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> ive not even seen a 640mb cd in ages.
[17:37] <utente> my cd is 700 mb
[17:38] <virusuy> hi all
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> utente:  so it should fit just fine.
[17:38] <ConstantineXVI> is there any way to pipe the command-not-found messages into something like cowsay?
[17:38] <DaGeek247> hi
[17:38] <share> hello ubuntuers
[17:38] <jrib> spoon: gnulib also provides regexec.c but it seems to be part of lots of things (like coretils, lots of stuff).  Maybe it's part of apt?  This is weird.
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> utente:  what burning app are yu using?
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> ConstantineXVI:  that would be.. weird.
[17:38] <utente> cd burnerxp
[17:38] <utente> for windows
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> utente:  i would try a differnt app then.
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[17:39] <ugarit> when I sftp to my server I get this: subsystem request failed on channel 0  while I am able to ssh.  What's causing this?
[17:39] <ConstantineXVI> Dr_Willis:  kind of the idea.
[17:39] <utente> Dr_Willis im using windows now
[17:39] <bonjoyee> Dr_Willis: utente is on windows now...as ubuntu wont boot!
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> utente:  and the urls given. mention differnt tools for windows
[17:39] <NikWan3> utente, try nero, worked for me..
[17:40] <g_0_0> utente, you are burning the image in CDXP rather than just copying the iso to the cd?
[17:40] <utente> nero it's not free, i dont have the reg code
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> burnatonce, isorecorder, imgburn,  several other at the 'portble apps' site for windows apps..
[17:40] <jrib> spoon: i'm googling "regexec.c: No such file or directory"
[17:40] <KM0201> utente: isorecorder has always worked best for me, to burn ISO's.
[17:40] <NikWan3> oh rt..!
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> infrarecorder also works.
[17:40] <g_0_0> utente, CD burner Xp can burn the image no problem
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> utente:  or just put it on a 1gb+ flash drive with unetbootin.
[17:41] <KM0201> utente: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm  gives specific instructions w/ ISO Recorder
[17:41] <g_0_0> utente, make sure you choose the option burn image
[17:42] <utente> ok but now im burning knoppix, i need only a terminal to mount the ubuntu partition
[17:43] <Dr_Willis> utente:  tiny core linux - could of done that. :) its a 10mb download.
[17:43] <ncfi1013> dr willis they helped me fix it in kubuntu thanks
[17:44] <ConstantineXVI> also, besides cowsayifiyng errors and sl, any other interesting (harmless) BOFH stuff I should be aware of?
[17:44] <jrib> spoon: I have no clue.  I'd be interested in a solution if you find one
[17:44] <Dr_Willis> ConstantineXVI:  make scripts called 'ls' executable in your dirs.. if someone has the current dir first in their path.. make the ls script do 'logout' ;)
[17:44] <utente> is tiny core linux live?
[17:44] <Sly_Coyote> hi all i need some help if someone is available
[17:45] <Dr_Willis> utente:  yes.

[17:46] <Sly_Coyote> da geek i have been trying to install warcraft 3 among other windows programs using wine and it clearly says in the files that they are exe but wine tells me that the files are not marked as executable
[17:47] <utente> burn completed
[17:47] <utente> i try with knoppix
[17:47] <DaGeek247> Sly_Coyote that should be easy to fix.
[17:47] <Sly_Coyote> i cant figure it out cause im very new to ubuntu
[17:47] <maxwave3> Sly_Coyote: chmod +x [filename].exe
[17:47] <DaGeek247> just right click on the .exe files and click properties.
[17:48] <Sly_Coyote> should i type that in  my terminal?
[17:48] <KM0201> maxwave3: DaGeek247 do my knowledge, neither of those works on an .exe, because it is not a linux file.
[17:48] <DaGeek247> yes
[17:48] <rumpe1> !exe
[17:48] <Squarism> in a terminal... how can you list a complete command history for that terminal?
[17:48] <rumpe1> Squarism, "history"
[17:48] <DaGeek247> no i have mae windows files executable my way.
[17:48] <maco> Squarism: you can type "history" but itll go farther back than just that terminal
[17:49] <Sly_Coyote> thank you all so much because i was going mental with the problem
[17:49] <KM0201> rumpe1: that won't just be for that window though

[18:19] <Skyhooker> I've read that SiI cards are supported in ubuntu, but no idea how to enable or configure (linux noob) - any help appreciated, ty

[18:21] <maco> matju: 915resolutions is no longer needed with the newer drivers. it should be listing all the resolutions the screen claims it can do. if you're sure the screen and video card can both do better, you can add more resolutions
[18:21] <Sly_Coyote> i have another question . is there a preferred program for us linux users to convert and or split a video from its audio? i ask this because i downloaded songs off of youtube that i couldnt find anywhere else but i want to convert the flv file to mp3 if possible

[18:23] <needlez> is there a way for mplayer to get the time of the movie in seconds thats playing and like important that command into a script which tells the computer to sleep after x seconds??
[18:24] <ZykoticK9> skrite, just install whatever windows manager you want to use, and it will pull the Xorg dependencies
[18:24] <viktor133> hi. how do you check if any files of a package you're installing are conflicting with any existing files?
[18:24] <markoso> how do i make a app start at startup
[18:24] <ZykoticK9> markoso, System / Preferences / Startup
[18:25] <maco> niklasfi: possibly "sudo alsa force-reload" to reload the sound drivers
[18:25] <skrite> ZykoticK9: even if it is not a desktop environment? like openbox will pull xorg deps?
[18:25] <markoso> ty ZykoticK9
[18:25] <maco> skrite: should
[18:25] <ZykoticK9> skrite, it should
[18:25] <matju> maco: well, i was asking because i found a web post that claimed that switching from SuSE to Ubuntu reduced the number of available resolutions. why would any resolutions be missing from the menu ? (i don't have proof of what my laptop can do : i ran SuSE long ago too, but i have no recollection of resolution list)
[18:25] <maco> skrite: it still needs X to run, right?
[18:25] <skrite> maco: indeed, thanks

[18:28] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: and the disks attached to it do not appear?
[18:28] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: should be automatic
[18:28] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: negative, no disks on that controller
[18:29] <Skyhooker> disk recognized in BIOS, however
[18:29] <Ind3ras> does anyone know where i can get some wireless questions answered for backtrack 4 final
[18:29] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: there are no disks actually attached to it or the diks that are attached do not appear in i.e « sudo fdisk -l » output
[18:29] <erUSUL> !backtrack > Ind3ras
[18:30] <viktor133> can anybody give me a few hints on a package-issue?
[18:30] <filippo> !ciao
[18:30] <filippo> io italy
[18:30] <Pici> !it | filippo
[18:30] <filippo> ok
[18:31] <veilig_abt> is there a way to view a log of all the applications that were updated w/ the update-manager in the last week? ...or longer?
[18:31] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: so what's the case here?
[18:31] <datacrusher> my ogv files playback normal, but audio is VERY slow. iv tryed the same file in other ambiente (windows and mac) and the audio is normal as the video files i got here, only in my ubuntu machine ogv audio is very low. how do i fix this?
[18:31] <erUSUL> veilig_abt: in sysnaptic there is a log in Archive menu
[18:31] <needlez> is there a way to have mplayer get the time of movie and put that command into a script like this... http://pastie.org/1518963
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> veilig_abt: look in /var/log/dpkg.log
[18:32] <viktor133> actionparsnip: you gave an answer launchpad about a dependency
[18:32] <veilig_abt> erUSUL, ActionPar: thanks!
[18:32] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: sorry, was just checking - I know very little terminal, ran that command - disk shows as sdb in fdisk, I think it's formatted NTFS (was trying to make this a fileserver for Win machines)
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> needlez: do you mean to play a movie then kill the app?
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> viktor133: happens nearly daily dude, you'll need to expand
[18:33] <viktor133> it's been suggested that i simply download a missing package, but i don't know how to check for possible conficting files?
[18:33] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: ok; so the disk is there. can you access it in PLaces>Computer ?
[18:33] <Skyhooker> stand by...
[18:33] <needlez> ActionParsnip: look at the script that I have already. I think you helped with it before. I just want something to automatically get the time of the requested movie so it isn't doing it at X time which I've already set
[18:33] <jrib> viktor133: apt will yell at you if you two packages conflict because they share files.  But what package are you talking about?  Downloading what? Why?
[18:34] <needlez> if there's no way to do that its ok, jw
[18:34] <viktor133> jrib: one sec, looking up the name
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> viktor133: try with the   --dry-run   option
[18:34] <jrib> needlez: why not just use mplayer to play the movie?  It will go away when it finishes playing
[18:34] <blackxored> hello guys
[18:34] <blackxored> where I can find a good and updated linux laptop compatibility list
[18:34] <blackxored> ?
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> needlez: what is the "time of the movie"? Is it how long it is or how long its been playinig for or what?
[18:35] <needlez> jrib: its not that, and no it wont, it wont auto kick sleep after words thats why I created this script
[18:35] <viktor133> jrib: downloading 3th party software, security program, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[18:35] <jrib> needlez: what do you mean "auto kick sleep"?
[18:35] <needlez> ActionParsnip: length of movie time... time of playing movie
[18:35] <freelove> who has a scan archive
[18:35] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: cannot find it, but I may not be looking in the right place (super noob)
[18:36] <freelove> who has a scan archive
[18:36] <viktor133> actionparsnip: so i download the package, then use --dry-run ?
[18:36] <jrib> viktor133: isn't that a really old version?
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> needlez: so you want the system to determine the length of the movie, then kill the process after that time?
[18:36] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: can you paste the output of « sudo fdisk -l » in pastebin ?
[18:36] <erUSUL> !paste | Skyhooker
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> viktor133: its an option od the dpkg command
[18:36] <freelove> who has a scan archive
[18:36] <BuMpIc> hi all
[18:36] <needlez> jrib: when I have suspend/sleep set it wont kick in cuz movie won't close in anything... vlc/ totem/ mplayer / etc...
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> freelove: can you expand on that please
[18:36] <needlez> ActionParsnip: exactly
[18:36] <jrib> needlez: mplayer quits after the video ends
[18:36] <KM0201> is anyone else having trouble adding MSN buddies to Pidgin or Empathy?  #pidgin is dead
[18:36] <viktor133> jrib: i know, it's really outdated software, but there isn't really an alternative
[18:37] <needlez> jrib: for me it doesnt
[18:37] <viktor133> actionparsnip: i'll try that, thnks
[18:37] <jrib> needlez: you are using "mplayer /path/to/video"?
[18:37] <BuMpIc> how van  i do that the conky will always appear on my desktop?So if i start the comp i dnt have to write to the terminal
[18:37] <Arachon> How come my version of Ubuntu Software center doesn't have the latest version of many applications?
[18:37] <trollboy> so I've got two items in my Update Manager that won't let me select them for update
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> needlez: mencoder has an identify option you can get various bits of data out and store it in a variable, then sleep that long
[18:37] <Skyhooker> hmmm, lotta new stuff to learn there to paste...
[18:38] <trollboy> event-based init daemon (upstart) and a simple, straightforward, open-source software framework for PHP 5 (libzend-framework-php)

[18:38] <freelove> who has a scan archive
[18:38] <FloodBot2> freelove: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:38] <needlez> jrib: the reason it wont exit for me is because the computer wont sleep even after the program closes.
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Skyhooker: copy the text, go to http://pastie.org and paste the text then hit the big paste button, the address in the address bar will change, copy it and paste it here
[18:38] <Travis-42> Can anyone recommend a program to record video/audio of a particular window or section of the screen? I can't find anything that seems to work
[18:38] <jrib> needlez: you seem to be using "exit" and "close" differently.  What's the difference?
[18:38] <needlez> Jrib:so I created a C program to do shutdown with out needing sudo.
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Travis-42: recordmydesktop
[18:39] <trollboy> needlez, how are you doing a shutdown w/o sudo?
[18:39] <Travis-42> thanks ActionParsnip, I'll check it out
[18:39] <Arachon> Erm, Anyone?
[18:39] <BuMpIc> how can  i do that the conky will always appear on my desktop?So if i start the comp i dnt have to write to the terminal
[18:39] <needlez> trollboy: setUID with the Cwrapper I created
[18:39] <Skyhooker> http://pastie.org/1518994
[18:39] <Skyhooker> try that
[18:39] <trollboy> Arachon, are you sure they're the latest ubuntu versions?
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> needlez: mencoder -identify filename
[18:40] <Arachon> trollboy: No, it's 10.4, but that's supposed to be LTS, right?
[18:40] <trollboy> Arachon, just because SoftwareX releases a new release, doesn't mean its been incorporated into the ubuntu package management system yet.
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> Skyhooker: you have now mastered pastebin, use that for outputs of more than 1 line :)
[18:40] <Skyhooker> yay! :)
[18:40] <Skyhooker> ty
[18:40] <Arachon> trollboy: Oh, so I'd have to get the tarball manually then?
[18:40] <AbhijiT> Arachon, ubuntu is not rolling release distro
[18:40] <needlez> ActionParsnip: ok, will it automatically get the length of any video I pick or do I have to modify it every time for each different movie??
[18:40] <trollboy> Arachon, SoftwareX might have just released version 10, but the ubuntu guys might have only updated to <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:41] <AbhijiT> Arachon, only stabgle/ tested version in there software center
[18:41] <trollboy> Arachon, correct, if you *need* the bleeding edge
[18:41] <jrib> needlez: I don't understand how that relates to my question
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> needlez: you can pass the file name as an arg to the script
[18:41] <AbhijiT> Arachon, you can get latest version on your oen and install it
[18:41] <trollboy> Arachon, what software is it, if I may ask
[18:41] <Arachon> Yeah, it's just that the package manager is so much more convenient
[18:41] <AbhijiT> Arachon, also see getdeb and playseb
[18:41] <Arachon> trollboy: Rhythmbox
[18:41] <trollboy> the latest version in ubuntu might have what you need
[18:41] <jrib> needlez: you can do what you asked originally, but I think it's not a good way to achieve what you want.
[18:41] <trollboy> ah.. I don't use it/them myself
[18:42] <trollboy> what's in the latest version that's not in the ubuntu one?
[18:42] <Arachon> trollboy: iPod sync ability, and an option to do "replace all" in a copy dialog
[18:42] <Arachon> instead of having to press "yes" 512 times
[18:42] <trollboy> I *Believe* there were some plugins that did that automagically...
[18:42] <trollboy> not sure ont he replace all
[18:42] <needlez> jrib: that was to the other question sorry...  and the difference was it will stop playing the movie and the program will exit but the computer won't sleep because it thinks its still running. Sorry must not of explained that very well, thats why I created a program to do shutdown without need for sudo
[18:43] <needlez> ActionParsnip: ok thank you that should work
[18:43] <Arachon> trollboy: Whatabout the Backports repo?
[18:43] <BuMpIc> jrib, how can  i do that the conky will always appear on my desktop?So if i start the comp i dnt have to write to the terminal
[18:43] <trollboy> anyone see my question about un-updatable updates?
[18:43] <jrib> needlez: so you get a new prompt after the video finishes playing with "mplayer video", but mplayer is still running somehow?
[18:43] <jrib> !startup | BuMpIc
[18:44] <trollboy> Arachon, you can try that, you can also try the "unstable" repo as well, but YMMV
[18:44] <Arachon> trollboy: Myeah
[18:44] <BuMpIc> jrib,  ty
[18:44] <AbhijiT> BuMpIc, are you using ubuntu?
[18:44] <needlez> jrib: its more like it closes and even though I have it set to autosleep it wont autosleep after being closed
[18:44] <trollboy> backports probably won't be what you want
[18:44] <jrib> needlez: so what do you do to make it autosleep?
[18:44] <needlez> so I created this script to do that, it would work with mplayer also, just I use totem more often
[18:44] <lestat> hi
[18:44] <nothappy> hello, I've tried installing unbuntu and kubuntu in x86 and 64bit, it just loads to a screen and a pointer, that's it. Both text and gui mode installs does the same, one thing though is that I can select 'safe mode' and it loads that desktop up without networking...weird.
[18:44] <BuMpIc> AbhijiT, ubuntu-based
[18:45] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: not sure if you saw my post  http://pastie.org/1518994
[18:45] <Smith> how to install tar.bz2 on a linux (Ubuntu 10.10) machine
[18:45] <Arachon> trollboy: How so?
[18:45] <BuMpIc> AbhijiT,  but i have the answer thanks
[18:45] <lestat> any idea why my middle mouse button paste doesn't work anymore since yesterday ? :(
[18:45] <trollboy> backports is how you get SoftwareX Current version running on Ubuntu Old Ocellet (or whatever previous install you're running)
[18:45] <lestat> i did nothing particular
[18:45] <Smith> hi
[18:45] <AbhijiT> BuMpIc, hmm
[18:45] <trollboy> if the version of SoftwareX you want isn't in the current repo, its probably not going to be in backports
[18:45] <Arachon> trollboy: That sounds exaclty like what I'm trying to do... SoftwareX <latest> is available for Maverick Meerkat, but not Lucid Lynx
[18:45] <trollboy> backports is more about getting new software to run on old releases than it is about managing bleeding edge
[18:45] <needlez> jrib: correct autosleep after the movie over or at X time... X being set by myself already. And then created a C program to tell the computer to just shutdown without need for sudo, after the program closes
[18:45] <Smith> hi
[18:45] <Datz> Hi, I'm trying to export an mp3 from audacity, and need to find /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0  -> does anyone know where I can find this file?
[18:46] <trollboy> is Maverick stable/out yet?
[18:46] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: is the 500 GiB disk sdb? i've neer heard of SFS filesystem ... does the disk have any data in it?
[18:46] <needlez> jrib: this is what I have now... http://pastie.org/1518963
[18:46] <needlez> jrib: I could replace totem with mplayer or anything and it should work
[18:46] <Arachon> trollboy: Wait, you mean the entire OS version?
[18:46] <Pici> trollboy: Maverick was released on 2010/10/10
[18:46] <Datz> oh.. looks like there is a package for that, how nice :)
[18:46] <chrisryn_> whats a godo program for converting my grandmas cassettes to cd
[18:46] <chrisryn_> good*
[18:47] <voglster> im trying to setup a very simple ubuntu box that just routes between 2 subnets... 2 nics on it one on each subnet the default gateway has a static route pointing to the ubuntu box for the 1 subnet.. the other subnet the ubuntu box is the default route... yes i cannot ping between subnets... iptables is not even installed and ip_forward is set to 1 any thoughts?
[18:47] <trollboy> ah, apparantly I'm on Natty Narwhal
[18:47] <jrib> needlez: mplayer -identify -vo dummy -ao dummy VIDEO 2> /dev/null | grep ID_LENGTH | cut -d'=' -f2      would get you the length but I still advise you to accomplish what you are doing in some other way
[18:47] <trollboy> then yes Arachon backports might do it for you
[18:47] <Datz> chrisryn_: I guess you could try audacity.
[18:47] <Skyhooker> hmmm, should've been NTFS - I added no data. I tried running gparted to repartition/reformat, but it didn't see the drive either
[18:47] <Arachon> trollboy: Well, in any case, I think I've got some insight in how Ubuntu's repository system works, thanks :)
[18:48] <trollboy> Arachon, no problem, sorry I couldn't be more help
[18:48] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: gparted does not see it ? try « gksudo gparted /dev/sdb » in a terminal
[18:48] <Skyhooker> ok...
[18:49] <needlez> jrib: I am trying other things also, just this is just a simple solution for now
[18:49] <Smith> hi
[18:49] <Smith> how to install tar.bz2 on a linux (Ubuntu 10.10) machine
[18:50] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: no response
[18:50] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: if the disk is going to be used in a linux fileserver ( via samba i guess ) you should format it to a linux filesystem ( ext4 or xfs )
[18:50] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: gparted does not launch ?
[18:50] <Skyhooker> negative
[18:50] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: and you do not get any error either?
[18:50] <Skyhooker> no error
[18:50] <greenManX> hi
[18:51] <greenManX> how to install tar.bz2 on ubuntu 10.10
[18:51] <Skyhooker> let me try reformatting on a machine with onboard SATA and report back, will use ext4
[18:51] <KM0201> greenManX: what did you download a .tar file for?
[18:51] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: ok try « sudo parted /dev/sdb » is comman line program
[18:51] <Skyhooker> ok, stand by...
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Smith: what is the filename?
[18:52] <greenManX> like for firefox 4 beta 10
[18:52] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: you should get a new promt. you can enter « print » and see the partition table of the disk
[18:52] <Guest81366> hi
[18:52] <Guest81366> i have a problem
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> greenManX: there is a mozilla PPA for (crappy) firefox 4, you can add it, install Firefox 4 then remove the PPA so it doesn't update the current Firefox you have
[18:52] <KM0201> greenManX: usually there's a mozilla PPA for beta's.. but ff4 is a little wild right now
[18:53] <greenManX> okay
[18:53] <Propel> I plan on dual booting with win7/ubuntu on my 500GB HDD. How should I partition the drive? 250GB/250GB?
[18:53] <Guest81366> someone have never installed ubuntu server on pendrive and configured in menu.lst
[18:53] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: I see it there at 500GB ntfs volume
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> greenManX: I can make you a commad if you want
[18:53] <greenManX> okay if i have any other tarball how do i install it i am new to linux
[18:53] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: ok; run « quit » or « exit » ( do not remeber exactly to quit the program
[18:53] <needlez> jrib: can that be substitued for the sleep thing?? or not?? also my other thing is would this work?? http://pastie.org/1519039
[18:53] <voglster> greenManX, a tarball is a comressed file.. untar it ;-)
[18:54] <voglster> greenbit_, bring up a console and tpye man tar
[18:54] <greenManX> ok then
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> Propel: The install of Ubuntu will only occupy about 5Gb so depends how much data you need, you can also store user data on the NTFS if you wish as Windows is to ignorant to access Ext4
[18:54] <Guest81366> when i do the boot from pendrive I asked the cdrom
[18:54] <voglster> greenManX,  not greenbit_
[18:54] <jrib> needlez: what you pastebinned is all you need
[18:54] <hilarie> Where can I find a how-to on compiling a program under 10.10? I am trying to install OpenTaxSolver2010_8.01.tgz
[18:54] <greenManX> thats ok
[18:54] <Skyhooker> done and here's pastie:  http://pastie.org/1519040
[18:54] <needlez> jrib: thank you
[18:54] <Propel> wow, ubuntu only needs 5GBs?!
[18:54] <Pici> !compile | hilarie
[18:54] <jrib> needlez: though you need to pass a movie to mplayer obviously
[18:54] <hilarie> ty
[18:55] <needlez> jrib: I would tell it to take the movie that I select from my harddrive from the GUI
[18:55] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: now see if we can access it try « udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 »
[18:55] <jrib> needlez: mplayer has no gui
[18:55] <jrib> needlez: well the "mplayer" command anyway
[18:55] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: no errors from that one?
[18:56] <BuMpIc> jrib, is there any search modul like in windows, if i cant find something in applications?
[18:56] <sevens> So, does anyone here have any helpful tips for installing the latest ati drivers? I completed the install via terminal commands, but aticonfig wont run.
[18:56] <needlez> jrib: ahh, is there a gui so I can select a movie that way?? or not??
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> greenManX: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install firefox-4.0; sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
[18:56] <Guest81366> when i boot from pendrive i asked the cdrom
[18:56] <Skyhooker> "command not found"
[18:56] <greenManX> which platform is better Ubuntu or Linux Mint
[18:56] <needlez> jrib: thought there was like a Gnome for mplayer  or something like that isnt there??
[18:56] <jrib> needlez: try a gui for mplayer.  I'm not familiar with them and don't know how they behave when the movie ends
[18:56] <Guest81366> my configuration is: http://pastie.org/1519048
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> greenManX: neither is better
[18:56] <ChessTeach> i am not sure if this is a firefox or ubuntu question, but I am running firefox and everytime a message box appears, ubuntu makes a drum sound.... any idea how to disable this?
[18:56] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: what version of ubuntu ?
[18:56] <greenManX> then
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> greenManX: mint is also not support and is offtopic here
[18:57] <jrib> BuMpIc: to find stuff you already installed?
[18:57] <Guest81366> ubuntu 10.04.01 server
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> greenManX: the guys in #ubuntu-offtopic will be happy to discuss it with you
[18:57] <Skyhooker> xubuntu 9.10, I think
[18:57] <BuMpIc> jrib, whats that?
[18:57] <needlez> jrib: kk
[18:57] <Guest81366> ubuntu 10.04.01 server and my menu.lst this is http://pastie.org/1519048
[18:57] <jrib> BuMpIc: what do you want to do?

[18:58] <Pici> greenManX: This isn't a discussion channel, you've already been pointed to #ubuntu-offtopic , please use it.
[18:58] <earthmeLon> greenManX, You're asking #ubuntu (linux) channel.  Most of us will say Linux *is* better than windows :D
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: you can use grep to search files for text
[18:59] <greenManX> lol
[18:59] <Guest81366> but when i try to boot from usb i asked the cdrom, but i have my image iso on pendrive
[18:59] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip, is it a program?
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> greenManX: both are good, it depends on the situation, THAT is also offtopic too. This is support for Ubuntu only. Please keep your question to Ubuntu support questions only
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: yes, it's part of a default install
[19:00] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: ok do « sudo mkdir /media/win_disk && sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o umasks=0 /dev/sdb1 /media/win_disk  »

[19:01] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip, is this good?
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: i dont use seamonkey, I always use grep
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: good is subjective
[19:02] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip,  and where i can   look and write into my files's  source?
[19:02] <Skyhooker> noob question: how do I copy & paste selection from here?
[19:02] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip, forexample in C++
[19:02] <wamicho>  help please i was using 10.4 and my dell internal modem worked  fine but after upgrading to 10.10 it s not recognized how do i solve this..
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: that didn't make any sense
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> wamicho: did it work in the liveCD?
[19:02] <Ubulindy> any help on kde and how to access my home dir would be appreciated, switched from gnome and now no access and cant view
[19:02] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip, so this is an open source os   or not?
[19:03] <wamicho> ActionParsnip didn't try that...
[19:03] <Guest81366> ubuntu 10.04.01 non lavora in live cd
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: yes, its in a default install which means its free and opensource, the install CD cannot contain proprietary software
[19:03] <Guest81366> ubuntu 10.04.01 don't work in livecd

[19:04] <sanandreas-labs> hi to all!
[19:04] <needlez> jrib: checking out gnome-mplayer right now to see if will work
[19:04] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip,  what do you mean with the Install cd?
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Ubulindy: have you tried other file browsers?
[19:04] <induz> hello
[19:04] <sanandreas-labs> is there some one that want to help a newbie? that's my first time on Mirc
[19:04] <Ubulindy> ActionParsnip there isnt much I have access to
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: the install media you used came on an ISO, The install ISO comes with grep by default, meaning it is free and opensouce
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> Ubulindy: not even a terminal?
[19:05] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: entered commend, no error, but no apparent change
[19:05] <sanandreas-labs> some one from ITALY?
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> !it
[19:05] <Ubulindy> ActionParsnip even tho I launch a term, even that is borked and opens ~/Documents

[19:06] <Ubulindy> yep
[19:06] <sanandreas-labs> ciao bello!
[19:06] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip, I think i  was  badly explaining myself.So how  can i see the system source code?Not the grep
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> Ubulindy: are you the owner of your home folder?
[19:06] <lesshaste> is there a simple text to pdf convertor? I just need to make a pdf from a simple string so I can use it for something else
[19:06] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: sorry no need for that. run « thunar /media/win_disk »
[19:06] <Ubulindy> yes
[19:06] <jacklosquartator> ma qui e tutto in inglese???
[19:06] <luca__> !list
[19:06] <lesshaste> can it be done via the printing system maybe?

[19:07] <Ubulindy> ActionParsnip Im assuming I am since I was in gnome
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: you can use less to view files in terminal, or use your favourite text editor to open them
[19:07] <zacktu> how do i find out my ubuntu version and kernel version?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Ubulindy: i'd ask in #kubuntu, they may know a trick or two
[19:07] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: OK, win_disk file manager opened
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> zacktu: lsb_release -a; uname -a
[19:07] <Ubulindy> ActionParsnip ok, thanks
[19:07] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip, ok thanx.And the code is C++  or another language?
[19:07] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: there it is; all the space you wanted
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: doesn't matter, i it's text then a text editor will display it

[19:08] <erUSUL> !ntfs | Skyhooker
[19:08] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip,  ok
[19:08] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: thanks, will this now mount at startup, or more to do?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> I have a Dell D420 running Maverick and the keyboard really sucks. Can anyone recommend something heavy I can drop on it?
[19:08] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: there is more to do you have to add a line to your fstab . see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[19:08] <erUSUL> Skyhooker: we did this to check that everyhing is ok
[19:09] <Skyhooker> erUSUL: excellent, tyvm!
[19:10] <wamicho> ActionParsnip: I tried with live cd it worked..
[19:10] <wamicho> ActionParsnip: how do i make it work after installing ...
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> wamicho: ok then run:  lsmod   and see if any of the modules look like they drive the modem, you can also run:    sudo lshw | less     and find the modem. You should also run:   dmesg | less    and read the boot to see what's going on, then compare it to the current install to see what's different. You may need to make notes
[19:11] <zacktu> Administration/About Ubuntu says: You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012.
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> !natty | zacktu
[19:12] <jrib> zacktu: use the terminal as there is a bug in that menu
[19:14] <Guest81366> ubuntu 10.04.01 server and my menu.lst this is http://pastie.org/1519048
[19:14] <Guest81366> when i try to boot from usb i asked the cdrom, but i have my image iso on pendrive
[19:15] <zacktu> I just used instructions from ActioinParsnip to check my ubuntu version (lsb_release -a; uname -a), and my system version is 10.10 -- exactly what I thought it should be -- Out of curiousity I used Administration/About Ubuntu (probably first time ever) and was informed that I'm running 11.04 --  somebody jumped the gun
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> zacktu: what kernel are you using?
[19:16] <markfletcher> Hi, when I boot my ubuntu system, after the grub loading , I get a series of messages like [syntax error] or [incorrect command]. The system boots just fine, but I was wondering how I go about investigating these errors and remedying them... I dont see any more information on what is causing the errors
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> markfletcher: read through:   dmesg | less    it may give clues
[19:17] <zacktu> ActionParsnip: 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:48 UTC 2011 i686
[19:17] <markfletcher> Thank you!
[19:17] <[1]Smith> i am here
[19:17] <[1]Smith> arrrghhh tell mw
[19:17] <[1]Smith> *me
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> zacktu: thats a maverick kernel
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> !ask | [1]Smith
[19:18] <arrrghhh> [1]Smith, ask your question, clearly and coherently for all to see.
[19:19] <sisif> Hello. What alternative do I have for Ati / AMD proprietary video drivers ?
[19:19] <BuMpIc> ActionParsnip, i cant find that startup manager:D
[19:19] <[1]Smith> HOW DO I INSTALL TAR.BZ FILE ON LINUX
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> sisif: the open drivers which are part of the default OS
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> BuMpIc: ok
[19:19] <[1]Smith> I HAVE UBUNTU 10.10
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: what is the filename
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: kill the caps
[19:19] <[1]Smith> its vlc
[19:19] <sisif> ActionParsnip, you are referring to the ones that ship default with the oS ?
[19:19] <arrrghhh> [1]Smith, being rude will get you nowhere in life.
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: vlc is in the repos
[19:19] <arrrghhh> [1]Smith, you can install vlc from the repo's.
[19:20] <arrrghhh> [1]Smith, sudo apt-get vlc
[19:20] <arrrghhh> er
[19:20] <Roter1337> bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb/
[19:20] <arrrghhh> sorry
[19:20] <[1]Smith> i am not rude guys
[19:20] <FloodBot2> arrrghhh: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:20] <arrrghhh> sudo apt-get install vlc
[19:20] <zacktu> Action:  it appears that everything is maverick except the message from System/Administration/About Ubuntu -- everything's as i expected, but i was still confused by the "About Ubuntu" message - thankx for helping me confirm that all is well
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: use software centre and you can install vlc easily
[19:21] <[1]Smith> okay like in  sudo apt-get install vlc, how do i put location of tar.bz file
[19:21] <lesshaste> how do you set up a pdf printer?
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: you dont need it, its worthless
[19:21] <mbeierl> !packages | [1]Smith
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-create-pdf-documents-in-ubuntu.html
[19:21] <[1]Smith> if my file is played any where, will linux find it
[19:21] <markfletcher> sorry I couldnt find anything in dmesg | less... I think this is happening before the kernel boots?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: yes
[19:22] <mbeierl> [1]Smith: Ubuntu uses "packages" instead of raw .tar.bz files
[19:22] <[1]Smith> *placed
[19:22] <vilius_> hello everyone
[19:22] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: thanks
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: yes, just like it doesnt matter in windows either
[19:22] <wamicho> ActionParsnip it doesn't detect it
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: fastest link I ever got, did you not websearch ANY first before asking?
[19:22] <vilius_> I need your help. I need ftp server with GUI on ubuntu. PUreFTP is only available from terminal?
[19:22] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: of course I did
[19:22] <sisif> Which one would you recommend: using the ATI drivers in the repos or downloading from the amd.com website ?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> wamicho: maybe there is a regression bug in the newer kernel
[19:22] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: I got links from 2006
[19:23] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: hmm.. now I get Something wicked happened resolving 'gb.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[19:23] <mbeierl> [1]Smith: so you don't need to search and download the tar.bz file yourself.  instead you can use the repositories to download the software (vlc or whatever) and have the guarantee that it is a version that works with your installed OS
[19:23] <wamicho> ActionParsnip so what do i do ?
[19:23] <[1]Smith> so i go to turminal and then just write  sudo apt-get install "name-of-file"
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: I had to open a browser and search and it took 30 seconds to find that....
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> wamicho: log a bug
[19:23] <[1]Smith> it will get installed
[19:23] <mbeierl> [1]Smith: plus it makes sure if there are any dependencies, they are also found and downloaded
[19:23] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: great :)
[19:23] <wamicho> ok thanks
[19:23] <arrrghhh> [1]Smith, Ubuntu Software Center is probably easier/friendlier for you.
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: no, you type:   sudo apt-get install vlc
[19:23] <g_0_0> [1]Smith, go to terminal and type - sudo apt-get install vlc
[19:24] <mbeierl> [1]Smith: yes.  you can also use the Ubuntu Software Center to search and install
[19:24] <[1]Smith> yeah i use it for most of apps
[19:24] <Sly_Coyote> how can i delete frostwire ?
[19:24] <intrader> Anyone, does Maverick have default virus and malware protection?
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: forget the file you manually downloaded, it is of absolutely ZERO value to you
[19:24] <[1]Smith> but like some which are unavailable
[19:24] <Sly_Coyote> i downloaded frostwire and hate it
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> !virus | intrader
[19:24] <xangua> Sly_Coyote: sudo apt-get purge frostwire
[19:24] <[1]Smith> Why zero value
[19:24] <arashi256> Beginners should probably stick with the software center. cli stuff can wait...
[19:25] <[1]Smith> i think i will have to follow some linux book
[19:25] <arrrghhh> [1]Smith, installing from the repo's means it'll stay up to date.
[19:25] <VirusTB_> ActionParsnip,  i actuallt disagree with that !virus .. myu friend got bored and made a virus
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: because vlc is already in the repositorys waiting to be downloaded, the command I gave will install it and everything vlc needs to work, so the file you have isn't needed in any way shape or form
[19:25] <mbeierl> [1]Smith: because there is no way of knowing if it's going to be workable in your environment.  if you use aptitiude search vlc you should find that it is pre-compiled and ready for you from the repositories
[19:25] <[1]Smith> okay
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> VirusTB_: then you should change the factoid ;)
[19:25] <arrrghhh> VirusTB_, anyone can write a virus, but can it proliferate?
[19:25] <intrader> ActionParsnip, thanks, I was just reading an article in the current InfoWeek about possible virus, botnets, malware in linux
[19:26] <arrrghhh> mbeierl, aptitude was sadly removed in maverick...
[19:26] <[1]Smith> thanks a lot guys for helping
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> [1]Smith: nearly all the software you will need is in the repositories, Windows expects you to know and hunt the web for useful stuff, Ubuntu has a centralized app for adding and removing software
[19:26] <arrrghhh> intrader, gloom and doom, it's not true.
[19:26] <mbeierl> arrrghhh: it's actually still available, and it is what debian upstream still recommends.  I'm not sure why they removed the default install of it from maverick
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh: its installable though, apt-get is still around and still great
[19:27] <VirusTB_> ActionParsnip, when is the next ubuntu release..,.....??
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> !info aptitude maverick
[19:27] <mbeierl> [1]Smith: ever use the app store for Apple?
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> VirusTB_: April
[19:27] <VirusTB_>  i lost track of the 6 months.....
[19:27] <rumpe1> VirusTB_, 11.04 ... so its april
[19:27] <arrrghhh> mbeierl, ActionParsnip of course you can still install it... but it was removed.  i prefer it myself, i don't get it.
[19:27] <VirusTB_>  Gracias
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh: firefox is still the default browser too, go figure huh
[19:27] <rumpe1> VirusTB_, .04=april, .10=oct
[19:27] <arashi256> mbierl - you beat me to the analogy (half-watching Warehouse 13)
[19:28] <arrrghhh> ActionParsnip, not sure how to take that...
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh: same difference to your "I prefer aptitude" earlier
[19:28] <arrrghhh> but it's time for me to eat lunch, so i'll take it lightly.  cya guys.
[19:28] <arrrghhh> eh
[19:28] <arrrghhh> i do...
[19:28] <mbeierl> arashi256: cydia (the jailbroken app store) actually exposes the fact that it uses .deb repos too :)
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> arrrghhh: i prefer chromium, but firefox is default
[19:29] <arashi256> mbeierl - heh :D
[19:29] <intrader> arrrghhh, thanks
[19:30] <steve375> I have an EEE PC with display problems.  I haven't used an anti-virus, but probably should.  Any suggestions?  I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
[19:30] <arashi256> define 'display problems'
[19:31] <steve375> fonts fuzzy, things like that
[19:31] <steve375> arashi256: fuzzy fonts, things like that
[19:31] <mbeierl> steve375: just as an aside, anti-virus won't do much for the fuzzy display...
[19:31] <moonraker> steve375: shouldnt need av - have u tried ClamAv??
[19:31] <steve375> I have KlamAv
[19:32] <jezz> can any1 help me please with disk idle ?
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> steve375: klamav is pretty decent, you should add the clamav ppa to get the newer engine and virus defs
[19:32] <steve375> mbeierl: What will help?  Where do I look
[19:32] <arashi256> if you go to system -> preferences -> appearance, what setting are your fonts on?
[19:32] <mbeierl> steve375: there is the ability to set the anti-aliasing for fonts in the System -> Peferences -> Apperances -> Fonts...
[19:32] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: I think I set it up then it offers to print a test page. Do you have any idea where the file goes?
[19:32] <moonraker> steve375: have u got the display drivers updated?
[19:33] <mbeierl> steve375: there's a section for Rendering that /might/ help
[19:33] <steve375> mbeierl: I will look into that.  What does anti-alisaing do?
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: i believe its part of the printing steps
[19:33] <arashi256> sounds like you may have 'monochrome' fonts set
[19:33] <arashi256> anti-aliasing smooths the edges of fonts
[19:33] <Jenk> I'm supposed to install 'glibc' on Jaunty. I've got this link : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/?C=M;O=A but I don't know which file to download. Help ??
[19:33] <steve375> I think I have seen nvidia updated recently
[19:33] <joe_happy> i have issues runing mp4 video files on my computer anyone can helpme with that?
[19:33] <mbeierl> steve375: what arashi256 said - smooths out fonts - or might make them appear fuzzy
[19:33] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: ~/PDF it seems
[19:34] <xangua> !info ubuntu-restricted-extras | joe_happy
[19:34] <arashi256> joe_happy mp4 video will be played more reliably from vlc video player rather than mplayer - "sudo apt-get install vlc"
[19:34] <steve375> mbeierl: I haven't changed display specs, but it has changed
[19:34] <VirusTB_> can anyone suggest to me a great VIDEO tutorials on Ubuntu?> like a podcast or some RSS feed? (*&#/
[19:34] <joe_happy> thanks
[19:35] <mbeierl> steve375: I'm simply suggesting that changing the Rendering might help with the fuzzy fonts
[19:35] <sevens> Anyone in here good with ati proprietary drivers?
[19:35] <steve375> mbeierl: Yes, but why would have fonts become fuzzy if I haven't changed anything
[19:35] <steve375> ?
[19:36] <arashi256> steve375 - change the setting and see if it fixes it and then you can worry about the why...?
[19:36] <mbeierl> steve375: update to the display driver to optimize, perhaps?  It was merely a suggeston
[19:36] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: ok last question.. :)  I am printing using enscript.. any idea how to control the name of the pdf that is created?
[19:36] <steve375> I do appreciate the suggestions.  Please don't think I'm being ungrateful
[19:37] <lesshaste> enscript -B -i 2 -f Courier8 --margins=26:18:18:18 test.txt is what I currently have
[19:37] <dimm> can't mount NFS, mount return         "failed: RPC Error: Program not registered" , please help
[19:37] <arashi256> rpc daemon not running on the host?
[19:37] <mbeierl> steve375: I don't have an eeepc, so I don't know what drivers, etc, or display settings it might use.
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> steve375: what model EEEPC?
[19:38] <Loshki> Jenk: those are uncompiled source files. You want binaries to install. What does 'apt-cache search glibc' suggest?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> lesshaste: not something I've used
[19:38] <arashi256> meierl, I'm guessing it'll be a vanilla intel integrated thingie...
[19:38] <steve375> ok, I'm going to look into that and come back if I haven't found the answer ... a 1005HA
[19:38] <Zyrex> hello all
[19:38] <lesshaste> ActionParsnip: ok no probs. Thanks for your help in any case
[19:38] <steve375> ActionParsnip: 1005HA
[19:38] <steve375> brb
[19:39] <arashi256> woulda helped if he'd...you know....checked the fonts setting and let us know...

[19:39] <Jenk> Loshki, http://paste.ubuntu.com/561108/
[19:40] <mrenouf|work^> ActionParsnip, Yes I know
[19:40] <madstein> there is a problem with libc6 and the upstart update
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> mrenouf|work^: then why are you asking in here if you 'know'?
[19:40] <madstein> some one at canonical can look unto this please?
[19:40] <mrenouf|work^> ActionParsnip, just beause it's not stable and released yet doesn't mean it can't be used. I was hoping to hear from someone who'd been using it.
[19:40] <maco> madstein: on what release?
[19:41] <madstein> maverick
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> mrenouf|work^: it doesn't say that, it also says it is discussed and helped in #ubuntu+1 and NOT here
[19:41] <madstein> need a smoke brb
[19:41] <maco> madstein: i havent seen any mails on ubuntu-devel or ubuntu-devel-announce about omg-breakage...
[19:41] <Loshki> Jenk: try 'sudo apt-get install libc6 linux-libc-dev'. How do you know you need glibc?
[19:41] <mrenouf|work^> ActionParsnip, yes ubuntu+1 ... sorry didn't see that part. tnx
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> mrenouf|work^: so you didn't know
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> mrenouf|work^: if you read ALL the factoid given you will get further
[19:43] <mrenouf|work^> ActionParsnip, relax man :-) tnx for the help. I'm un #ubuntu+1
[19:43] <Jenk> Loshki, I get this error : ".../lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by ...)"
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> mrenouf|work^: if you come in with a "I know" attitude, then show incompetance, I will point it out
[19:44] <Jenk> Loshki, Just installed both, but I still get an error requiring 'glibc' to be installed.
[19:44] <madstein> maco
[19:44] <_jorde> errr. Anyone using empathy here?
[19:44] <madstein> the update just pped up
[19:45] <_jorde> how do I send the nickserv my identify info?
[19:45] <madstein> some how the upstart is requesting libc6 10.2
[19:45] <_jorde> can't use /msg
[19:45] <madstein> and you people only released the 10.1
[19:45] <_jorde> and it doesn't accept it thorugh /say
[19:45] <madstein> cant install
[19:45] <xangua> _jorde: empathy is very limited for irc
[19:45] <_jorde> ah ok
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> xangua: if it does what is needed though, why not use it
[19:45] <VirusTB_> can anyone suggest to me a great VIDEO tutorials on Ubuntu?> like a podcast or some RSS feed? (*&#/
[19:45] <_jorde> does xchat work better?
[19:45] <xangua> _jorde: you can set your username and password in empathy settings
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> _jorde: depends on needs
[19:46] <mrenouf|work^> ActionParsnip, I was responding "I know" to the info on Natty (being Alpha, unreleased, unstable, and not intended for production systems). Again I missed the bit about support in ubuntu+1. Had I seen that I would not have said "I know". Please don't be so adversarial.
[19:46] <madstein> Os pacotes a seguir têm dependências não satisfeitas:
[19:46] <madstein>  upstart : Estraga: libc6 (< 2.12.1-0ubuntu10.2) mas 2.12.1-0ubuntu10.1 está para ser instalado
[19:46] <madstein> E: Pacotes estragados
[19:46] <maco> madstein: so dont install the update yet then
[19:46] <_jorde> pretty plain actually
[19:46] <madstein> fair enough lol
[19:46] <maco> madstein: its probably just still building
[19:46] <xangua> !pt | madstein
[19:46] <madstein> that was fast
[19:46] <maco> xangua: that was a copy-pasta from the terminal
[19:46] <madstein> is xangua a bot ?
[19:46] <maco> madstein: no
[19:46] <xangua> madstein: a superbot
[19:47] <madstein> lol
[19:47] <Ascavasaion> I am trying to set up xorg.conf from scratch because I want to use dual graphics cards... but I need root access to be able to Xorg -configure  How do I activate the root account?  sudo is not sufficient.
[19:47] <madstein> ok you know theres no one ther
[19:47] <xangua> madstein: try to change your software origins to the main server
[19:47] <maco> madstein: ther were 18 seconds according to my client, and !pt | mad<tab> is only 10 keypresses
[19:47] <xangua> open software centre>edit>software sources madstein
[19:47] <ActionParsnip> Ascavasaion: boot to root recovery mode and do it there
[19:47] <madstein> in a sec
[19:47] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip, But what do I do?
[19:48] <maco> xangua: madstein is right that 2.12.1-0ubuntu10.1 is the post recent available
[19:48] <madstein> its already on the main
[19:48] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip, You mean do the xorg -configure form the boot recovery?
[19:48] <ActionParsnip> Ascavasaion: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root.  You cannot run that command with an active x running as far as I remember
[19:48] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip, Or activate root from boot recovery?
[19:48] <maco> xangua: its normal for packages to hit the repository as they finish building, which means if upstart finished before libc6, the upstart package gets held back
[19:48] <Ascavasaion> ActionParsnip, Thank you :)
[19:49] <xangua> tell that no madstein maco , i already know ;)
[19:49] <madstein> eh!
[19:49] <madstein> Oo
[19:49] <maco> xangua: i already did
[19:49] <maco> xangua: you kept going...
[19:49] <madstein> i already knew it
[19:49] <madstein> lol
[19:50] <jordevorstenbosc> well
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> madstein: you may want to update your question with what you have been told ;)
[19:50] <jordevorstenbosc> it seems empathy doesn't want to log in with my nick cus it starts with an underscore
[19:51] <madstein> its on the main
[19:53] <fckthatshtoff> hi im looking for sth fun to program
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> fckthatshtoff: join one of the many linux game teams
[19:59] <Jenk> How do I fix this error :' :.../lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found' ?
[20:00] <DThought> Jenk: you install GLIBC 2.11 ?
[20:00] <DThought> or you make the prgroamm you're compiling accept a different version of it
[20:01] <Jenk> DThought, I need to install it, can you tell me how ?
[20:01] <guestt> can anyone help me i am trying to update wine, but i can't add a ppa to my third party software, i am using ubuntu 9.04
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> guestt: Jaunty is no longer supported in any way
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> !jaunty | uestt
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> !eol | guestt
[20:02] <DThought> Jenk: on my system libc6 2.12.1 is installed
[20:02] <kuuh> what is a reasonable key length for a dmcrypt keyfile?
[20:02] <Jenk> DThought, I don't know, the full error is : "...: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by ...".
[20:02] <azizLIGHTS> i logged in to ssh and am inside screen now. but i want it to detach screen session and log me out of ssh after x minutes, now how can i do this?
[20:03] <Bolo> I have an ASUS 1001PXD with 10.4 netbook and I can't seem to get the internal mic to work
[20:03] <Jenk> DThought, Well, yes, but how do I get it on my system ? apt-get doesn't have it.
[20:03] <DThought> Jenk: the packager is called libc6
[20:04] <DThought> and its a fundamental part, it has to be installed
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> Bolo: run:  alsamixer   and make sure no levels are muted or low
[20:05] <Jenk> DThought, Well I have that installed but I still get the error. Any help, though ?
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> Bolo: can you also give the output of:   wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh   Thanks
[20:06] <DThought> no. i'd suspect the programm you're compiling (you are compiling?) looks at the wrong places?
[20:07] <Jenk> DThought, I'm only trying to run it not compiling it. If it looks at the wrong places how do I get it fixed ?
[20:07] <dizital> need help, my wireless device shows up on iwconfig but does not show on ifconfig??
[20:07] <ubumanux> -/server irc://irc.darksin.it/atl_revenge
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> dizital: if you run:  sudo iwlist scan    do you see access points?
[20:07] <DThought> Jenk: compile it again, so it looks in the correct places; or provide symlinks so it finds the libraries at the "wrong" places
[20:08] <Jenk> DThought, Also I found this update/patch(I think) for glibc. Link: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glibc/glibc_2.7-10ubuntu8.diff.gz How do I use it ?
[20:08] <Tigger__> If it's any help to any of you good people... installing alsaplayer-esd fixed *.wav files being played & Alerted on new mail in Thunderbird 3.1.7 on ubuntu 10.10..... However, it still will not play the 'Default system sound for new mail'.... but at least it gives some sound alert ;-)
[20:08] <hacfed> Hi guys, my Ubuntu installation is broken after installing updates this morning. I set the computer to shutdown after 3 hours. I'm pretty sure this was enough time for updates to install. Now, it just boots memtest. I am running a liveUSB session now. Can anyone advise me as to how I should fix this? First problem is that my root/boot drive is a RAID1 array and I've yet to assemble that array and get into it.
[20:08] <DThought> Jenk: 2.11 is a lot newert than 2.7 ?
[20:08] <renato_> ciao
[20:09] <Jenk> DThought, Yes, it is newer. But I don't mind the older cause it's all I've got. I
[20:09] <dizital> ActionParsnip, it saids interface doesn't support scanning
[20:09] <DThought> Jenk: but the programm you're trying to run explicitly need 2.11 ?
[20:09] <Jenk> DThought, How do I use the 'symlink' thingy ?
[20:09] <DThought> (thats what the error message says)
[20:10] <dizital> ActionParsnip, on wicd network manager i can see networks available and when i try to log in it saids bad password even though i know its correct
[20:10] <DThought> (ln -s   -- ln --help shows the full syntax.... but i wouldn't fidlle at libraries when you're not sure what you are doing...)
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> dizital: ok then run:  sudo lshw -C network; lsusb    one line will identify the device (be it the product line in the lshw output or the 8 character hex ID in the lsusb portion), you can then find guides based on the output
[20:11] <Jenk> DThought, Yes, but how do I get 2.11 ? I'm using Jaunty. Is there a way to compile that package ?
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> dizital: ahh, ok. what encryption do you use (if any)/
[20:11] <root> hi
[20:12] <Guest42300> i need help
[20:12] <dizital> im using wpa2 on my router
[20:12] <Guest42300> plz
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> dizital: try with WEP to test
[20:12] <Enverex> If I'm looking to administer my box headlessly via a GUI, what is there to use? Webmin seems to be the only web GUI. The box is LAN only so security isn't an issue.
[20:12] <jrib> !ebox | Enverex
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> Guest42300: yes you do, running an IRC client as root is massively foolhardy
[20:12] <spoon> jrib: ping
[20:12] <dizital> ActionParsnip: k
[20:12] <nit-wit> Guest42300, ask your question
[20:13] <jrib> spoon: good timing
[20:13] <Enverex> jrib, I saw that, but when I checked their official site, it's advertised as a distro and the only download was an ISO...
[20:13] <DThought> Jenk: get the source, install it parallel. Try to download the glibc 2.11 from a different version. But beware, libc6 is a integral part, messing with it might make a lot go wrong (it might require a newer kernel version, e.g.)
[20:13] <jrib> Enverex: ebox is in ubuntu's repositories
[20:13] <spoon> jrib: it seems as there's something wrong with libhtml-clean-perl
[20:13] <spoon> jrib: but that's all i can figure out
[20:14] <spoon> jrib: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/330745/
[20:14] <Jenk> DThought, Yes. can you explain 'installing in parallel' ?
[20:14] <whisperkiller> i am having issues installing 10.10 on a laptop from a usb drive....im at the preparing to install screen and it seems to hang there.  i have tried using both 32 bit and 64 bit installs with the same problem
[20:15] <KM0201> whisperkiller: probably gonna need the alt. cd... you've probably got some oddball piece of hardware that is not co-operating w/ the live cd... it happens
[20:15] <dizital> ActionParsnip: still got bad password when try connecting to it, but it shows on ifconfig now
[20:15] <DThought> jenk install the newer libc6 in /usr/local/lib e.g. ... - or - even better -  don't let the installer make a symlink to libc6.so, so that libc6.so stays the original version
[20:15] <whisperkiller> it boots into the live os from the usb so i cant see the usb being the problem
[20:15] <KM0201> whisperkiller: it happens..
[20:15] <whisperkiller> so try the alt cd and see if that solves the issue
[20:15] <DThought> Jenk: and no, what you're trying to do is pretty special, i don't know off the top of my mind how to do that - i had to research myself
[20:16] <lesshaste> does anyone happen to know how to get enscript to specify the output filename when printing to a cups pdf printer...
[20:16] <whisperkiller> is there a way to try it using the current cd from terminal perhaps?
[20:16] <Jenk> DThought, Thanx a million ! May your tribe increase !
[20:16] <tk8> hey, im having a hard time running apt-get install php5-mcrypt
[20:16] <whisperkiller> or is best practice to just use alt cd as suggested
[20:16] <skrite> hey all, i don't have the apt-add-repository command, how do i get that?
[20:16] <tk8> says 404.. how do i change mirror
[20:17] <xangua> skrite: it's add-apt-repository
[20:17] <skrite> xangua: right, sorry. add-apt-repository, is missing from my minimal ubuntu install
[20:17] <xangua> kt8 sounds like you are using a no longer suported ubuntu
[20:18] <whisperkiller> also should i use x64 or 32 bit install?
[20:18] <tk8> xangua: word.. 2.6.24-19-xen
[20:19] <jrib> spoon: seems like it's using regexec somewhere to get some info about the libhtml-clean-perl package.  And somethings wrong with "somewhere".  Going to read apt's source a bit
[20:19] <tk8> lenny/sid
[20:19] <ActionParsnip> dizital: strange
[20:19] <hacfed> Can anyone help me fix booting issues with my RAID1 array? Currently having trouble even installing mdadm on this live USB version. Exit status 1. Log for dpkg shows 'status half configured initramfs...'
[20:19] <mrblue_> I still don't have /dev/audio0 :/

[20:21] <dizital> ActionParsnip: k ty i'll give that a shot
[20:21] <Anon7-2521> Ugh. Has anyone else had any problems with random swap crashes and overheating?
[20:21] <ActionParsnip> dizital: also if you run:  rfkill list    are any of the blocks ON

[20:22] <kermit> is it possible to get scrollwheel emulation working on a recent Dell laptop?
[20:22] <ActionParsnip> Anon7-2521: could set vm.swappiness to 0 in /etc/sysctl.conf   which will make the OS only use swap when needed
[20:22] <jrib> kermit: does it use the synaptics driver?
[20:23] <Anon7-2521> ActionParsnip: could using too much swap cause my system to overheat?
[20:24] <k_> Does anyone know how to change dpi of an image in php
[20:24] <xxiao> trying to use ldap client to authenticate with Active Directory, AD refuses to have anonymous binding while I don't want to hard code my password for one user
[20:24] <hacfed> My Grub is loading memtest86+ on every single boot. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> Anon7-2521: it makes the internal drive work more, so could. What make / model is the laptop?
[20:25] <Anon7-2521> It's a 13" MacbookPro Mid-2009.
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> hacfed: hold shift at boot then select the kernel. Does it boot ok
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> Anon7-2521: why didn't you mention that earlier?
[20:26] <Anon7-2521> Sorry.
[20:26] <hacfed> ActionParsnip, I am on the system in question. Let me log in here with the netbook and try that. Thank you.
[20:27] <ActionParsnip> Anon7-2521: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro5-5/Maverick   I assume Maverick as you have also not given the release you are using
[20:27] <Anon7-2521> I'm about to check. One moment please.
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> Anon7-2521: in future can you give as MANY details as you can rather than people having to milk them from you or guess
[20:28] <Enverex> That ebox package is nasty, it's just pretty much hosed my box. Excellent.
[20:28] <Anon7-2521> Yes, I apologize. I didn't realize it was a Macbook issue.
[20:30] <Anon7-2521> I'm not sure if it is Maverick or now. How would I check that?
[20:30] <hacfed> ActionParsnip, booted up okay. Seems I can fix this. Thank the gods! Thank you! :)

[20:30] <duairc> Does anybody know of a 3G modem that definitely works in Ubuntu and doesn't do shit like pretending to be a CD?
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> Anon7-2521: you can run:  lsb_release -a   to check
[20:30] <ActionParsnip> duairc: watch the swears please
[20:31] <hacfed> ActionParsnip, any ideas why grub would stick in a memtest cycle? This is after today's updates.. I wasn't here to see what happened next. I just found I was greeted by memtest.
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> duairc: most just need switching using usb mode switch
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> hacfed: check in /etc/default/grub  to see what the default is set to
[20:32] <Anon7-2521> I'm using 10.04 Lucid.
[20:32] <hacfed> ActionParsnip, shouldn't have changed, but worth a look. I know of the usual suspects to check. Planning a fresh install anyway; so long as I can save my home and /etc I'm happy. Hmm, memtest again...
[20:32] <fuzato> is there some1 who use SmokePing?

[20:33] <erUSUL> !away > hotrod
[20:33] <duairc> ActionParsnip: I know. I mean I have that much working, it just refuses to actually connect to the GSM network. It also crashed the whole system at one point. I know that's unrelated to it pretending to be a CD, but I want to get a different one that will definitely be completely painless.
[20:35] <mrblue_> What is /dev/video1?  Not specifically but generally what kind of file is it?
[20:36] <ActionParsnip> Anon7-2521: then change the link to lucid and you'll find your guide
[20:36] <Anon7-2521> I got it, but it's really no help. Thanks anyway.
[20:36] <nemetos> hi, anyone here?
