[17:52] <m11kkaa> I have an "Acer Travelmate 8572TG" notebook. The problem is, that he does not reconize my battery. Can anybody help me?
[17:53] <BitEncrypt> is it possible to email myself a file from my desktop
[17:53] <sacarlson> gluegun: well if it real old then it won't boot a graphic 10.4 ubuntu.  you need at least 500meg mem and 4 gig hd.  not sure what graphics but old graphics should still work.
[17:53] <ectospasm> BitEncrypt: you can use the mail command usually, though I can't remember right now how to attach a file
[17:54] <ectospasm> BitEncrypt: you can also use something like mutt or pine
[17:54] <Besogon> m11kkaa, What are you interesting in?
[17:54] <BitEncrypt> thx
[17:54] <sfears> gluegun: nomodeset didn't work?
[17:54] <m11kkaa> Besogon: I have an "Acer Travelmate 8572TG" notebook. The problem is, that he does not recognize my battery. Windows does

[17:56] <BitEncrypt> ok
[17:56]  * sfears is interested in the answer to datacrushers' question
[17:56] <usr13> BitEncrypt: -a to attach
[17:56] <m11kkaa> Besogon: I think it's a driver problem... who can help me with this?
[17:57] <jangell> Anyone familiar with the slapd package in ubuntu?  I can't get hdb to work....
[17:57] <sfears> why do you need your battery recognized m11kkaa?
[17:57] <Adrian__> how can i change the terminal window title?
[17:58] <glebihan> @Adrian_: which terminal ?
[17:58] <glebihan> @Adrian_: gnome-terminal ?
[17:58] <bastidrazor> Adrian__: right click the title > set title
[17:58] <sacarlson> Adrian__: seems they change by default now the terminal window for me at least
[17:58] <erdnase> Good day. wlan0 does isn't in ifconfig. And if I do a ifconfig wlan0 up, it tells me that there is no such device.
[17:58] <GHH> How can i enable postgress?
[17:59] <sfears> Adrian__: gnome-terminal --title=Hello
[17:59] <TEJ> I have remote question I see the desktop and can select menu items but they don't display on my remote screen
[17:59] <m11kkaa> sfears: My notebook can switch between two graphiccards so i can choose between 8 hours batterlife and max power. therer are tutorials how two switch in ubuntu but for testing if it worked i need to check the battery consumption. On the other hand it would be great to know when i have to reload my battery
[17:59] <sfears> TEJ: is your remote screen set up as a mirror of your desktop or an extention?
[18:00] <Adrian__> sfears: it work! but just for 1 sec.
[18:00] <TEJ> I have no idea
[18:00] <glebihan> @Adrian_: menu Terminal -> Set title
[18:01] <Adrian__> glebihan: where is this option : "set title"?
[18:01] <glebihan> @Adrian_: do you have the menu bar visible ?
[18:01] <sfears> TEJ: open display settings
[18:01] <Coronade> #ubuntu.set_name( "Emphero");
[18:02] <Adrian__> glebihan: yes.
[18:02] <erdnase> Let me rephrase my question. wlan0 is not in the ifconfig list. How come? And I can't connect wirelessly; I already installed ndiswrapper along with the correct driver thing.
[18:02] <glebihan> @Adrian_: and a Terminal item in it ?
[18:02] <Adrian__> Yes
[18:02] <glebihan> @Adrian_: and no Set title item ?
[18:02] <sfears> erdnase: have you "modprobe ndiswrapper"??
[18:02] <Adrian__> glebihan: Thanks a lot! :D It works
[18:02] <Besogon> m11kkaa, I don't know. Ask. Is it yours message? http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/acer-8572tg-acku-wird-nicht-erkannt/
[18:02] <usr13> erdnase: What does iwconfig say?
[18:02] <glebihan> @Adrian_: you're welcome
[18:02] <erdnase> stears, yep.
[18:02] <erdnase> usr13, I tried ifconfig wlan0 up, says no such device.
[18:03] <TEJ> disply settings where? sorry I am very new to ubuntu
[18:03] <usr13> erdnase: What does iwconfig say?
[18:03] <sfears> ifup -a?
[18:03] <usr13> erdnase: iwconfig
[18:03] <m11kkaa> Besogon: Yes its my message I thought the english guys in a live chat have a bigger knowledge
[18:03] <itsux2bu> [12:58] <sfears> Adrian__: gnome-terminal --title=Hello   <<-- where does this go?
[18:03] <erdnase> usr13, oh sorry. Let me try that. Brb.
[18:04] <Besogon> m11kkaa, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1530467
[18:04] <bastidrazor> itsux2bu: you could run that in the Alt-F2 run dialog
[18:04] <TEJ> command not found
[18:04] <Besogon> m11kkaa, may be it will help
[18:05] <sfears> tej.. somewhere in your ubuntu menu there is a system settings or control panel or something of the sort.. in there is a display option, find that
[18:05] <itsux2bu> bastidrazor, or edit the menu item that calls up terminal?
[18:06] <glebihan> @TEJ: System->Administration->Monitors
[18:06] <bastidrazor> itsux2bu: no, that would not set the Title displayed in th eterminal
[18:07] <m11kkaa> Besogon: the guys in this thread have no solution :(
[18:07] <sfears> itsux2bu: type that at the command prompt
[18:07] <bastidrazor> itsux2bu: you can also change the title by editing the gnome-terminal profile preferences.
[18:07] <yowshi> now if only i could get amarok to work
[18:08] <skwo> Hi Im installing a home server, p4 1gb ram, 40gb hhd
[18:08] <skwo> do I need LVM?
[18:08] <Besogon> m11kkaa, you are right. I didn't read to the end. Now I do
[18:08] <SwedeMike> skwo: it comes in handy sometimes.
[18:08] <sfears> LVM would probably make more efficient use of your space skwo
[18:09] <skwo> SwedeMike: as I unserstood it used to add on fly hard discs
[18:09] <skwo> sfears: I see
[18:09] <nsd> What's the default password of a user account when I add it with `useradd', or is there none?
[18:09] <itsux2bu> my idea worked but the regular title overwrote it
[18:09] <skwo> By the way, any useful partition layout for 40gb hdd for home server?
[18:09] <SwedeMike> skwo: yes, that it can do too. most importantly, it can migrate between drives without having to take the machine offline.
[18:09] <nsd> btw I forgot to thank whomever that was who pointed me to the right printer administration program, someone was trying to talk to me
[18:10] <skwo> SwedeMike: Oh thats cool, Ill setup LVM then
[18:10] <glebihan> @nsd: you have to set one before logging in with this username
[18:11] <nsd> glebihan: you mean with passwd? so no one would be able to log in if I didn't set it with that?
[18:11] <TEJ> there is no system administration monitors
[18:11] <skwo> SwedeMike: can you suggest some partition layout? Or I should just use the whol 40gb?
[18:11] <skwo> whole*
[18:11] <sfears> 10 Gig / - 2 gig swap - 28 Gig /home is what i would use for non server, i'm not sure what i would pick for server skwo
[18:11] <glebihan> @nsd: yes
[18:11] <skwo> the server will be used as file server, web server, ftp and svn server
[18:11] <nsd> glebihan: I added users that have windows machines so they could print via samba, but I don't want them to actually log into the machine
[18:11] <nsd> glebihan: thanks for the info
[18:11] <SwedeMike> skwo: it makes sense for your data drives, not your system drive.
[18:12] <SwedeMike> skwo: like if you have 3x500G for data and you insert 3x2TB and want to migrate to that
[18:12] <skwo> sfears: yea that a good layout for home, but afaik /var/www is used for web server so I wonder if 10gb will be enough
[18:12] <progre55> hi guys! how do you chroot into your system from a live-cd?
[18:12] <sfears> IC
[18:12] <Besogon> m11kkaa, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/578894
[18:12] <skwo> SwedeMike: I dont understand
[18:12] <SwedeMike> skwo: if you only have a single drive I wouldn't bother with lwm.
[18:13] <skwo> oh I see
[18:13] <glebihan> @nsd: so why did you need the password ?
[18:13] <skwo> so simply choose "Guided - use entire disk"?
[18:13] <nsd> glebihan: I didn't need the password, I was just curious as to what it did by default; if I knew that it used a standard default password, I would have changed it to something random, but knowing that no one can log in until it is set means I don't have to do anything
[18:14] <TEJ> @glebihan there is no monitors setting in system administration I am using a laptop so that may be teh reason
[18:14] <nsd> glebihan: again, the user accounts only exist because there is an option in samba's configuration that allows only users on remote machines with corresponding usernames on the local machine
[18:14] <sfears> tej, how about display?
[18:14] <Besogon> m11kkaa, Rebuild the kernel is required. May be it will help
[18:15] <glebihan> @TEJ: sorry, System->Preferences->Monitors
[18:15] <home> hi, how can I set gnome keyring to unlock automatically when using gdm autologin?
[18:15] <glebihan> @nsd: ok, so everything's ok ?
[18:15] <Besogon> Could someone help me with iptables?
[18:15] <TEJ> @glebihan that is there
[18:15] <m11kkaa> Besogon: i alreader tried 2.6.35-kernel but it doesn't help
[18:15] <sfears> can't say i know much about iptables Besogon
[18:15] <nsd> glebihan: yes :)
[18:15] <erdnase> Sigh.. I don't know what I missed. Wlan0 just isn't cooperating with me.
[18:16] <glebihan> @nsd: nice
[18:16] <usr13> erdnase: What does iwconfig say?
[18:16] <itsux2bu> what gnome keyring?
[18:16] <usr13> erdnase: What does ndiswrapper -l  say?
[18:16] <erdnase> usr13, does not list wlan0 too. Aaand, just listed the other two. :P
[18:16] <Besogon> sfears, http://pastebin.com/Ns92hmUz
[18:16] <itsux2bu> what is gnome keyring?
[18:17] <erdnase> usr13, well, ndiswrapper -l said I already installed the driver.
[18:17] <erdnase> It listed one driver. The bcmwl5 I think.
[18:17] <Roasted_> Ubuntu supports VNC by default... so if I'm trying to connect from one Ubuntu machine to another vic remote desktop viewer and it's giving me nothing but a black screen in return, what could it be?
[18:17] <usr13> erdnase: How many wifi NICs do you have in this machine?
[18:17] <nsd> itsux2bu: gnome keyring is a sort of a password manager, if I understand correctly; it allows applications to do things without requiring you to type in your password, hence "keyring manager"
[18:18] <sfears> perhaps an echo command Besogon?
[18:18] <Besogon> sfears, I heve 2 network. eth0 (local class) and eth1 (LAN with DHCP) ubuntu connects both. I had used the file I sent you.
[18:18] <erdnase> usr13 only one.
[18:18] <usr13> erdnase: What does iwconfig say?
[18:18] <m11kkaa> Besogon: I think my problem is a bit different, because in the bucktracker they wrote about the  output of "cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT1/state" which is "charging state: discharging" for them. But for me this gives "present: no"-message
[18:18] <itsux2bu> nsd what does Revelation do?
[18:18] <nsd> itsux2bu: no idea, sorry
[18:18] <TEJ> @sfears: I found monitors but the only selections are resolution,rotation and refresh rate
[18:19] <itsux2bu> ok..
[18:19] <erdnase> usr13, wait, let me try and remember it. lol.
[18:19] <sfears> and i see both eth0 and eth1 are using the same IP??
[18:19] <usr13> erdnase: Does iwconfig report "No wireless extensions"  or... ____________?
[18:19] <sfears> tej, there is nothing in there about the second monitor?
[18:19] <TEJ> no
[18:19] <sfears> and i see both eth0 and eth1 are using the same IP?? Besogon?
[18:19] <erdnase> usr13 iwconfig reported that fore eth0 and the other one.
[18:20] <erdnase> I didn't get anything about wlan0.
[18:20] <Besogon> sfears, I made ping from eth0 to the ubuntu IP address which belongs to eth1 network. And that was succsessful. Does it mean that iptables rules had been made in right way?
[18:20] <usr13> wiconfig shows eth0 ?
[18:20] <glebihan> @TEJ: Did you try "Detect monitors" ?
[18:20] <erdnase> usr13, yes.
[18:20] <TEJ> yes nothing happens
[18:20] <usr13> erdnase: lspci |grep -i wireless
[18:20] <sfears> not sure Besogon
[18:20] <m11kkaa> Besogon: They are talking about an kernel-patch which seems to work for them maybe I should try it out
[18:20] <Besogon> sfears, eth0 has IP <IP_ADDRESS> and eth1 has IP from LAN DHCP
[18:21] <nsd> so I have a printer that's being shared by some Windows machines with samba, but how can I use it on another Linux machine? I tried adding a printer via CUPS' web-based administration tool and pointing it to the IP of the machine that's sharing the printer, but it didn't find anything. Do I have to install samba on the linux machine, too?
[18:21] <erdnase> usr13, I'll try that one after I sleep, thank you. :)
[18:21] <usr13> erdnase: If iwconfig shows eth0 then that is your wireless device and it is fully supported.  Just use eth0 to connec to your wireless router.
[18:21] <erdnase> usr13, oh, I didn't know.
[18:21] <jodonovan> hellow
[18:21] <TEJ> there is a check box for same same display all monitors but it is greyed out can't select
[18:21] <progre55> how to chroot into your system from a live-cd?
[18:22] <nebula_> sofware for webdesign+flash for ubuntu...?
[18:22] <erdnase> usr13, again, thanks. :)
[18:22] <usr13> erdnase: NP
[18:22] <usr13> progre55: chroot /mount/point
[18:23] <Guest12447> algum brasileiro na area?
[18:23] <Besogon> sfears, But I could ping from eth0 to eth1 indeed. BUT actually dhcp relay daemon don't work and I don't know why...
[18:23] <progre55> usr13: it gives me "chroot: cannot run command /bin/bash: Exec format error".
[18:23] <usr13> progre55: (where /mount/point is the actual mount point - but you first have to mount the root filesystem somewhere..)
[18:23] <tracy69> good evening
[18:23] <Guest12447>  algum brasileiro na area?
[18:23] <Guest12447>  algum brasileiro na area?
[18:23] <nafri> does anyone knows how to install/setup telnet server in ubuntu?
[18:24] <Guest12447>  algum brasileiro na area?
[18:24] <nsd> nafri: telnet? shouldn't you be using ssh?
[18:24] <nebula_> sofware for webdesign+flash for ubuntu...?  help !!?!?!
[18:24] <progre55> usr13: yeah that's what I did, and it's in /media/02081061-bla-bla-bla
[18:24] <nsd> nafri: for ssh, just do sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[18:24] <usr13> nafri: apt-get install telnet
[18:25] <LuckySMack> whenever i log into my laptop, i get prompted to enter my password because my login keyring did not authenticate. is there a way i can have it do it automatically so im not prompted after i log in?
[18:25] <nafri> nsd: ok done, how can i start ssh service?
[18:25] <jodonovan> anyone using ubuntu in the financial services field?
[18:25] <nsd> nafri: it should start by itself, I think; try sshing into your machine from another one, it should work
[18:25] <sfears> not sure Besogon, i'm not that good yet
[18:25] <nafri> nsd: worked thx :)
[18:25] <LuckySMack> nsd nafri you can also ssh into localhost i believe to see if its working
[18:25] <nsd> nafri: np
[18:26] <itsux2bu> nafri, you using ubuntu server?
[18:26] <nsd> LuckySMack: really? that's good to know, thanks
[18:26] <sfears> LuckySMack: i'm not sure that has anything to do with the keyring, in your system preferences, under login, there should be an option to auto login
[18:26] <nsd> nafri: if you do have to restart the ssh server for some reason, it looks like there's an init script, so you would just do 'sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart'
[18:26] <nosklo> How can I disable automatic start of presentation for .pps files on openoffice? Without manually renaming to .ppt of course.
[18:26] <LuckySMack> sfears, i already autologin. this is a different prompt that mentions the keyring
[18:27] <LuckySMack> looking though
[18:27] <nsd> nafri: without the quotes, of course
[18:27] <glebihan> @LuckySMack: http://johnny.chadda.se/article/unlock-the-gnome-keyring-upon-login/
[18:27] <itsux2bu> nafri, you using ubuntu server?
[18:28] <jodonovan> anyone using ubuntu server in the banking industry?
[18:28] <LuckySMack> glebihan, looking, thanks
[18:28] <nosklo> jodonovan: me.
[18:28] <Hounddog> hi, i am just following this tutorial to create the boot partition https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CreateBootPartitionAfterInstall i am stuck at where i shall change the grub config...
[18:28] <shawnboy> I've mounted my Windows share before using CIFS. It's not working now. Any ideas?
[18:29] <shawnboy> it works in Nautilus
[18:29] <nebula_> web development environment for Gnome
[18:29] <Hounddog> as there is no menu.lst anymore i looked up google and found it is /etc/default/grub
[18:29] <sfears> LuckySMack: i wonder what program is trying to access your keyring, and do you really want to give something auto access to your passwords?
[18:29] <LuckySMack> nebula_, ?
[18:29] <itsux2bu> Hounddog, yes
[18:29] <Hounddog> but there i am not finding anything like in the tutorial also described # groot=(hd0,0)
[18:30] <Hounddog> itsux2bu where do i set the default drive?
[18:30] <LuckySMack> sfears, it says the login wants access. i tried to copy the text, but wouldnt copy. im the only one to use my computer
[18:30] <Hounddog> just doing a pastie
[18:30] <itsux2bu> Hounddog, never done that myself.. i've edited /etc/default/grub
[18:30] <m11kkaa> Besogon: Thank you for your help so far, I will try the patch at this weekend and hopefully it will work
[18:30] <nebula_> LuckySMack,  alterantive  adobe dreamwave or others ?
[18:30] <shawnboy> Windows share. Mount problems. Anyone?

[18:30] <dream> i want to add a menu  block
[18:31] <dream> whcih has listing of few nodes
[18:31] <LuckySMack> nebula_, for dreamweaver? depends. i use either netbeans or aptana studio 3
[18:31] <glebihan> @dagon666: yes, use gparted, it works great
[18:31] <dream> can i do that ?
[18:31] <LuckySMack> i love those.
[18:31] <Hounddog> i mean am editing /etc/default/grub

[18:31] <lecterror> does anyone have any strange connections in their firewall? I have a fresh install of 10.04 and I've got connections to Egypt (http://whois.domaintools.com/<IP_ADDRESS>) and India (http://whois.domaintools.com/<IP_ADDRESS>)?? What are these things?
[18:31] <LuckySMack> nebula_, nothing in ubuntu has all the features of DW, but you can get all the tools with a few programs. cssed is a good css editor
[18:32] <dream> i want to add a menu  block which has listing of few nodes(not primary or secondary links ) can i do that ?
[18:32] <Hounddog> itsux2bu http://www.pastie.org/1134215 this is the config

[18:34] <tacomaster> i was wondering because im trying to install 2 os's on my system when you let ubuntu choose its partitions on a blank drive what does it choose?
[18:34] <ViN86> tacomaster: what 2 OS's, windows and  ubuntu?
[18:34] <DaskreecH> Hello
[18:34] <LuckySMack> nebula_, well eclipse has good JS coverage. but so does netbeans. but flash, im not sure. i know there are some toold for eclipse you can use. a friend just got started in that. so id say an eclipse based platform
[18:35] <glebihan> @tacomaster: by default, it'll use the whole disk
[18:35] <tacomaster> ViN86, no ubuntu and backtrack
[18:35] <DaskreecH> Can I do a filesystem check on a Wubi install?
[18:35] <ViN86> tacomaster, and to answer your question, it will create two partitions and use the entire disk
[18:35] <itsux2bu> Hounddog, i don't think that goes in that file.. look this beyond me and grub is dangerous to mess with.. i'm going to bow out.. i wouldn't want to tell you something i know nothing about

[18:51] <MIRV-> kids... heh
[18:51] <tracy69> bad people im sure they have something to do with the OSama bin laden
[18:51] <AlbertoP> well just block them ;)
[18:52] <akssps011> tracy69: gr8 one
[18:52] <AlbertoP> other channels are not so spammed ...
[18:52] <akssps011> :)
[18:52] <AnxiousNut> what's up with n-handler?
[18:52] <maco> Pici: it was already set
[18:52] <Pici> Its been taken care of
[18:52] <Pici> I now return you to your regularly scheduled support channel.
[18:52] <LjL> AlbertoP: sure, if you have suggestions on how to block them, feel free to provide them in #ubuntu-ops
[18:52] <maco> AnxiousNut: spammer imitating a real person's nick
[18:52] <MichaelSOG> ?
[18:52] <AlbertoP> LjL: Pici: might want to ask what they do elsewhere (like #suse) for example
[18:52] <dagon666> bots IP: <IP_ADDRESS> responds on ssh port :D
[18:52] <AnxiousNut> maco, heh, thanks anyways
[18:53] <LjL> AlbertoP: i think not being the largest channel on freenode is the key there.
[18:53] <jcrawford> lol dagon666
[18:53] <itsux2bu> yea right..  Osama always says.. bring down #ubuntu.. bring down evil capitalist dogs
[18:53] <Hounddog> ok anyone any idea on why ubuntu server would not start ? it is just getting stuck at "loading operating system"
[18:53] <sandertje> i'm having a weird problem. I recently installed w7 besides ubuntu (since some stuff for my university does not run on wine), and I'm having some weird issues with my clock. The windows clock and ubuntu clock are "out of sync" with eachother. When I set the time correctly on ubuntu, and then reboot into windows, the windows clock has been set two hours earlier (so 8pm becomes 6pm). When I set the windows clock correctly, and then reboot into
[18:53] <sandertje> ubuntu, the ubuntu clock is set two hours into the future.
[18:53] <AlbertoP> LjL: nah... #suse was spammed a lot, they did some stuff...
[18:53] <st__> my eth0 device is being lost after boot, why it's that??
[18:53] <AlbertoP> LjL: try asking, it does not cost anything ;-)
 are you ok ?
[18:53] <sandertje> I'm already using NTP on ubuntu so that's being synced with the internet correctly.
[18:54] <maco> AlbertoP: the channel is set now to not allow unregged users. thats probably what they do. you can drop it now
[18:54] <jcrawford> hey guys can anyone tell me how to install usbnet drivers in Ubuntu 10.04 does not seem to be anything on Google about installing them
[18:54] <MIRV-> is the system clock set correctly?
 bad people im sure they have something to do with the OSama bin laden  <<--  yea right..  Osama always says.. bring down #ubuntu.. bring down evil capitalist dogs
[18:54] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> sandertje: it appears both systems have a different idea of what the system's timezone is set to
[18:54] <sandertje> MIRV-: you mean in the bios?
[18:54] <MIRV-> ya
[18:54] <dagon666> st__: check if you have proper configuration in /etc/network/interfaces
[18:54] <cemc> is there a nice and simple magnifing glass app for 10.04 ?
[18:54] <AlbertoP> maco: drop it?
[18:54] <itsux2bu> tracy69, just teasing you about your statement
[18:55] <maco> itsux2bu: get back on topic please
[18:55] <MIRV-> word
[18:55] <maco> AlbertoP: yes, instead of discussing annoying people, discuss ubuntu tech support
[18:55] <AlbertoP> maco: sorry... just trying to help, since this has been going on for weeks
[18:55] <AlbertoP> maco: and learn to be a bit calmer and polite
[18:55] <sandertje> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: both are set to Amsterdam
 so you are from the same country OSMA bin laden is right ?
 are you from texas ?
[18:56] <hiku> nice job Pici ty
[18:56] <itsux2bu> oh.. thats the city where they smoke pot out in the open streets..
[18:56] <tracy69> texas isnt city :)
[18:56] <tracy69> i think
[18:56] <sandertje> itsux2bu: yes, pot is legal in my country.
[18:56] <tracy69> more like a state
[18:56] <sandertje> tracy69: he was talking about Amsterdam
[18:56] <tracy69> :)
[18:56] <itsux2bu> tracy69, not from texas
[18:56] <jpds> !ot

[18:59] <dooglus> the laptop has since died, and I'm able to mount the encrypted home partition on another ubuntu laptop, but how do I unencrypt it?
[18:59] <sandertje> smartnaija: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 this thread should work
[18:59] <tracy69> not me

[19:02] <itsux2bu> Hounddog, what did the trick?
[19:03] <Guest97958> oi
[19:03] <l0cus> Can anyone please help me out with my themes. Maybe Im doing something wrong
[19:03] <natschil> l0cus: what's your problem?
[19:03] <sjm> ninjai, tell us more about the problem.  Are you on the same LAN or a different one than the server?
[19:03] <Hounddog> itsux2bu i went to channel #grub and there i just followed the link in the message
[19:04] <Guest97958> what is happening
[19:04] <itsux2bu> ok
[19:04] <Hounddog> http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[19:04] <Hounddog> this
[19:04] <Hounddog> but honestly... this took me now endless hours to get there where i am now...
[19:04] <Hounddog> since yesterday actually
[19:05] <itsux2bu> Hounddog, cool link
[19:05] <itsux2bu> Hounddog, glad you got it working
[19:05] <Hounddog> installing/reinstalling... installing different os... troubleshooting and finally comming to the conclusion that it is the god darn mbr that something is wrong there
[19:06] <ninjai> sjm: same lan
[19:06] <Hounddog> itsux2bu thanks :) now i can install the required server software finally
[19:06] <sjm> ninjai, I'd look at the ruby on rails config on the server to see if it is by default only listening on localhost (<IP_ADDRESS>).
[19:06] <itsux2bu> Hounddog, your using ubuntu server?
[19:07] <sjm> ninjai, you can see what it is listening on with:  netstat -neap
[19:07] <itsux2bu> Hounddog, there is a desktop and server version of ubuntu
[19:07] <ninjai> sjm thanks, that wounds useful! it's a default install... how can I change what it's listening on?
[19:08] <desti> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=lgs_2010 gpu survey~
[19:08] <sjm> ninjai, I'm not familiar with ruby on rails, so can't tell you.  It'd probably be in a config file under /etc
[19:08] <nosklo> How can I disable automatic start of presentation for .pps files on openoffice? Without manually renaming to .ppt of course.

[19:24] <zanberdo> Tanvir, and what does the log file tell you?
[19:24] <sebsebseb> Tanvir: weird issues can happen with Wubi, so  I suggest doing a proper partitioned install of a Linux distro
[19:25] <sebsebseb> Tanvir: plus real partitions are better in the long run
[19:25] <sometux> Tanvir, right click and choose run as administrator
[19:25] <pfifo> (free nodes web client sucks can you guys see this text?)

[19:27] <felicity> sebsebseb: thanks
[19:27] <sebsebseb> felicity: in certain ways 9.10 is the better release, but this is personal opinion as well
[19:28] <sometux> Does anyone have dell inspiron-1545 laptop with ubuntu installed?
[19:28] <sebsebseb> felicity: Why do you want to upgrade the kernel anyway?  I mean whats wrong with the 9.10 kernel?
[19:28] <felicity> sebsebseb: you think so?hmm, i was having problems with my alsa so i decided to upgrade.will see, i still have the iso around just in case
[19:28] <sebsebseb> felicity: also not properly supported, but you could probably find a ppa for a later kernel, that you could install into 9.10
[19:29] <Pici> sebsebseb: There may be a point release upgrade available in the repos.
[19:29] <sebsebseb> Pici: for 9.10?  so would only be a security update release in the repo, if anything
[19:29] <Pici> sebsebseb: Those are still called upgrades.
[19:29] <felicity> sebsebseb: will have a look.its been 3 years since i used ubuntu,so am a little rusty
[19:30] <felicity> sebsebseb: my alsa however, it kept "forgetting" my sound levels even after an alsactl store!
[19:30] <sebsebseb> Pici: well yeah
[19:30] <sebsebseb> felicity: oh you been doing stuff with alsamixer?
[19:31] <felicity> sebsebseb: yes.and now, my sound is always "going" and i have to reset it, eh
[19:31] <Tanvir> sebsebseb, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/LayEzkJP
[19:31] <Tanvir> zanberdo, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/LayEzkJP
[19:31] <sebsebseb> felicity: I have this issue with another distro, but doesn't bother me that much, since using alsamixer is easy
[19:32] <felicity> sebsebseb: i know, i just thought maybe it'll solve it for me, gave me quite the scare
[19:32] <Tanvir> sebsebseb, zanberdo the log file
[19:32] <rantic> Could anyone help me reach the Maverick 10.10 download page? I noticed the beta was released today on a facebook post but the link is broken.
[19:32] <sebsebseb> felicity: gave you quite the scare?
[19:33] <slow-motion> hi
[19:33] <felicity> sebsebseb: yes, as in it freaked me out!lol
[19:33] <sebsebseb> rantic: no its not out yet
[19:33] <sebsebseb> rantic: and you want #ubuntu+1
[19:33] <rantic> Why have they tricked me : (
[19:33] <sebsebseb> rantic: it will come out a bit later on probably
[19:34] <sebsebseb> felicity: how so?
[19:34] <sebsebseb> felicity: upgrading the kernel probably won't really help much with an alsa issue, if at all, by the way
[19:34] <Sary> They still testing Maverick Beta ..
[19:35] <felicity> sebsebseb: oh snap! well it used to work with arch linux so i thought the same would happen.well i'll see and i'll come ask for help after i get tired of googling
[19:35] <rantic> I only had the impression it was out today because of the facebook post which says .... Maverick beta is out today. : p
[19:35] <Sary> Hopefully, today UTC time
[19:35] <sebsebseb> felicity: Ubuntu since 8.04 uses pulseaudio by default, but I assume you disabled that and are using alsa instead?   You could upgrade to 10.04, but I have a feeling that won't be of much help for your issue either, but it might be, so worth a try I guess.
[19:36] <Oer> rantic only trust news from the source. > http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/
[19:37] <Oer> !hi Terminator
[19:37] <M4rotku> hey guys.  i just installed gentoo on sda2 and i ran update-grub and it didn't add it to the boot menu.  does anyone have any idea what could've caused it?
[19:38] <Pici> rantic: It will be announced on the mailing list and the topic in #ubuntu+1 will be changed to reflect that.  You can look there for the announcement.
[19:40] <Verminator> my USB ports keep going offline, any ideas why or how to fix? Recently upgraded to 10.04. lsusb hangs showing nothing. ps aux|grep usb shows 3 unknown tasks: ksuspend_usbd, usb-storage, usbhid_resumer.  dmesg shows nothing when i plug a usb thumb drive in.
[19:40] <rantic> Pici: Makes sense .. I've only had Ubuntu 10.04.1 for a few days but because of an issue with my memory card reader I haven't been doing much.
[19:42] <enzotib> there is not a !purekde factoid updated to 10.04?
[19:44] <Mba7eth> hi guys..... how to resolve invalid magic number ERROR when booting ?
[19:45] <cdubya> I have some older systems that I needed to wipe the drives on and I figured the easiest and quickest way way to mount the drives, delete the partition, create a new partition and format it. Anything else that needs to be done as far as removing recoverable data?
[19:46] <AdrianISV> Hello!
[19:47] <Mba7eth> hi
[19:47] <AdrianISV> Mba7eth: hi
[19:47] <Mba7eth> AdrianISV: :)
[19:50] <Mba7eth> hi guys..... how to resolve invalid magic number ERROR when booting ?
[19:51] <Hounddog> itsux2bu you still there?
[19:51] <X-Sleepy-X> Mba7eth: My guess would be to learn spell casting to be able to cast the right magic number... ;)
[19:51] <Jordan_U> Mba7eth: Did you compile your own kernel?
[19:52] <Oer> !resetpanels > Oer
[19:52] <Mba7eth> Jordan_U, no i just installed Redhat first then ubuntu but now i can now longer boot into REDhat
[19:52] <nosklo> How can I disable automatic start of presentation for .pps files on openoffice? Without manually renaming to .ppt of course.
[19:53] <Mba7eth> Jordan_U, I can boot into ubuntu without any issue, but when booting into redhat i got this error " Invalid magic number"
[19:53] <Kuehlschrank> Mba7eth: Maybe the error is caused by a typo in your grub.cfg
[19:54] <Mba7eth> Kuehlschrank, I didnt touch that file :)
[19:54] <X-Sleepy-X> Mba7eth: Perhaps there is a backup of the old file?
[19:55] <X-Sleepy-X> Mba7eth: If so you could compare them...
[19:55] <Kuehlschrank> Mba7eth: It would be nice if you could post it to pastebin
[19:55] <dex_> Is there a way I can copy a bunch of files to another folder from a folder with tons of subfolders but only want to copy one file textension? such as .jpg
[19:55] <Jordan_U> Mba7eth: Could you pastebin your /boot/grub/grub.cfg and the /boot/grub/menu.lst from Red Hat?
[19:56] <NET||abuse> arrg, 10.04 doesn't give me a boot menu , just skips it and launches, i want to boot into the previous installed kernel.
[19:56] <NET||abuse> been so long i don't remember hoow.
[19:56] <Mba7eth> this is my grub.cfg file --> http://pastebin.com/tw79j84h
[19:56] <Jordan_U> dex_: In the terminal you can use somthing like "cp /source/directory/*.jpg /destination/directory/"
[19:56] <dex_> go to the grub command and type cat /boot/ and push tab
[19:56] <Pici> NET||abuse: Hold shift while booting.
[19:57] <Jordan_U> dex_: Nvm, see you also need files from subfolders. For that you'll want to use "find".
[19:57] <NET||abuse> Pici, hehe, that's much better than mashing all the F[xx] buttons on boot
[19:57] <acidjazz> whats the best way in ubuntu to change the hostname of the server so that it reflects everywhere?
[19:58] <Pici> !hostname  | acidjazz
[19:58] <Jordan_U> !pm | dex_
[19:58] <Mba7eth> Jordan_U, btw i didn't install grub when installing redhat .... so this file doesn't exist in redhat boot folder
[19:59] <rbellamy> OpenVPN on Ubuntu "no vpn secrets" when using the network manager - any thoughts?
[19:59] <M4rotku> hey guys.  i just installed gentoo on sda2 and i ran update-grub and it didn't add it to the boot menu.  does anyone have any idea what could've caused it?
[20:00] <dwxreaper> rbellamy: you probably need a preshared key on each side
[20:00] <rbellamy> it's password authentication
[20:00] <Madwill> hi whats the good way to allow php to freely write delete and modify file in a folder ?
[20:00] <rbellamy> dwxreaper, and the sample .conf file doesn't have it...
[20:01] <rbellamy> Madwill, not?
[20:02] <Madwill> not ?
[20:02] <Madwill> like now allow it to is the good way
[20:02] <iceroot> Madwill: correct
[20:02] <Madwill> we do rely a lot on user specific content which require some sort of upload somewhere
[20:02] <rbellamy> Madwill, I was being facetious... sorry...
[20:02] <Madwill> might even delete the content some day
[20:03] <iceroot> Madwill: ftp?
[20:03] <Madwill> oh damn instant meeting
[20:03] <Madwill> brb
[20:03] <javatexan> so how bad is the version of evolution in ubuntu, I noticed 2.30 on gnome.org and 2.28 on system.  Will evolution guys even support?  I am having couple of problem...cant connect to exchange 5.5
[20:05] <mikebeecham> guys...is there a definitive answer (I guess technically) of whether Chrome or Firefox is better?
[20:05] <DrPoO> i need help setting up a dc++ compatible server
[20:05] <xangua> javatexan: exchange 5.5 ¿ is that exchange 2003¿ ; have you installed evolution-exchange or evolution-mapi packages¿
[20:05] <kbrosnan> ubottu: !best | mikebeecham
[20:05] <ishijoe> plz i need help to setup evilwm
[20:06] <rbellamy> mikebeecham, yes there is a definitive answer: absolutely maybe.
[20:06] <javatexan> xangua: its 2007, i think.  yes to evolution-exchange, no to evolution-mapi....mapi looks like have to build from source?
[20:06] <mikebeecham> kbrosnan, I'm not asking about best - even though I worded it that way...I guess I'm trying to figure out if one or the other is faster, more robust....everything else is down to personal choice
[20:06] <dajhorn> javatexan: Exchange 5 is unsupported in the connectors that Ubuntu bundles and is unlikely to ever be supported.
[20:06] <rbellamy> anybody have some love for the OpenVPN "no vpn secrets" issue with NetworkManager setup OpenVPN connections? This is something I've had problems with since 9.04...
[20:06] <xangua> javatexan: you need evolution-mapi for exchange 2007
[20:07] <ZykoticK9> mikebeecham, it's the same as asking which is better vi or emacs - depends on who you ask
[20:07] <rbellamy> mikebeecham, I use chrome for everything but Elasticfox, or if I want to do "private" browsing...
[20:07] <helo> anyone know why atop shows two nvidia-settings processes starting/exiting every time it refreshes?
[20:07] <xangua> don't know if it works, tried last noght to set up hotmail with it but couldn't because it was asking for a domain but try it if you want javatexan
[20:07] <zanberdo> What utility can I use to observe disk i/o throughput?
[20:07] <rbellamy> mikebeecham, it's a religious question.
[20:08] <mikebeecham> rbellamy, "private browsing"...yeah, searching for anniversay gifts, just like the new browser in Windows 7....we really know what private browsing is for!!!
[20:08] <rbellamy> mikebeecham, pr0n, of course.
[20:08] <mikebeecham> of course
[20:08] <zanberdo> specifically, I have attached an esata drive to my machine and I'd like to verify that I'm using it through the esata channel and not through the usb channel (the usb connections are supposed to be for power only)
[20:08] <ZykoticK9> zanberdo,  iotop - simple top-like I/O monitor (one option)
[20:08] <rbellamy> I like nekkid wemins.
[20:08] <mikebeecham> there, doesn't it feel better to just come out and say it?
[20:08] <helo> and communicating with our terrorist brethren
[20:08] <alkamid> hello
[20:08] <rbellamy> yikes.
[20:09] <zanberdo> ZykoticK9, I've been looking at iostat.  let me take a peak at iotop
[20:09] <helo> (i volunteer for a church-based haunted house, so naturally we are terrorists...)
[20:09] <Jordan_U> dex_: find /source/directory/ -iname '*.jpg' -exec cp {} /destination/directory/ \;
[20:09] <ZykoticK9> !ot | helo
[20:10] <helo> ZykoticK9: haunted houses and terrorists aren't on topic?? wtf
[20:10] <rbellamy> alrighty then... off to figure out this OpenVPN thing, AGAIN.
[20:10] <rbellamy> )Agoycb5847
[20:10] <zanberdo> hope that wan't a password rbellamy
[20:10] <ZykoticK9> zanberdo, you might actually find hdparm more useful for speed testing
[20:10] <javatexan> is there a safe ppa on launchpad for evolution 2.30?
[20:10] <javatexan> or good ppa would work too
[20:11] <Jordan_U> dex_: The only possible problem with that command is that it won't replicate the directory structure, all of the resultimg files will be /destination/directory/*.jpg not /destination/some_subdirectory/*.jpg .
[20:11] <alkamid> I have a webui available at localhost/rutorrent; this computer is seen in the Internet at myname.dns.org (I can access it through ssh by typing user@myname.dns.org). How to access my webui from Web? I tried myname.dns.org/rutorrent but it didn't work
[20:11] <xangua> javatexan: there is a ppa, but it frozes the calendar
[20:11]  * helo writes down rbellamy's password
[20:11] <javatexan> doh
[20:11] <javatexan> lol
[20:11] <zanberdo> ZykoticK9, I think I've played with that in the past, however if I recall it doesn't actually measure the current throughput of a operation such as rsync (which is what I'm running now).  Ideally I'd love an apt similar to speedometer which would report on whatever devices I specify in a linear graph...
[20:12] <rbellamy> heh
[20:12] <rbellamy> good luck with that helo.
[20:12] <javatexan> xangua: I just checked gnome evolution guys don't want to support 2.28 problems.  :(
[20:12] <xangua> javatexan:  http://ur1.ca/1gdvj you can always remove a ppa with ppa-purge
[20:13] <zanberdo> ZykoticK9, iotop with the -o option does seem cleaner than iostat. thanks for the suggestion. it's not perfect, but I think it's giving me what I need.
[20:13] <ZykoticK9> zanberdo, glad to help.  best of luck.
[20:13] <Roasted_> I used to have a simple system properties program in ubuntu... something that just told me basic stuff. ram, processor speed, graphcis card type, etc.
[20:13] <Roasted_> any idea?
[20:14] <rbellamy> Roasted_: add to panel "System Monitor"
[20:14] <Roasted_> oh duh
[20:14] <Roasted_> I always use sys monitor for processes. I forgot there were other tabs. I suck.
[20:15] <Kingsy> can someone please tell me what the difference between gksudo and sudo is?
[20:15] <itsux2bu> !gksudo
[20:15] <Kingsy> i.e why do I need to run gksudo gedit /etc/hostname ? rather then just use sudo
[20:16] <Kingsy> ahhhh
[20:16] <itsux2bu> use sudo in terminal/tty.. use gksudo for graphical apps
[20:16] <tacomaster> what is the default wireless manager for ubuntu?
[20:16] <Kingsy> makes sense.. so because I am loading gedit with that command gksudo is the one
[20:16] <Kingsy> thanks
[20:16] <itsux2bu> gedit is graphical app
[20:17] <zanberdo> tacomaster, nm-applet (network-monitor)
[20:17] <zanberdo> tacomaster, though I recommend purging it for wicd (just my personal preference)
[20:17] <tacomaster> zanberdo: no i was actually going to get rid of wicd for it
[20:18] <zanberdo> tacomaster, oh? interesting. I'm just curious, buy why? I like wicd for the simple fact that it will connect resolve networking without you having to log into an account (unlike nm-app)
[20:19] <pdg1> so I'm looking for a good alternative distro from ubuntu. I'm using crunchbang right now but i've been looking at slackware. any other suggestions?
[20:19] <ZykoticK9> !ot | pdg1
[20:20] <zanberdo> pdg1 that a good question for #linux
[20:20] <deco> pdg1: slackware
[20:21] <pdg1> i figured since this was an Ubuntu support chan that someone could reccomend a distro with a similar feel. sorry :P
[20:21] <alkamid> I have a webui available at localhost/rutorrent; this computer is seen in the Internet at myname.dns.org (I can access it through ssh by typing user@myname.dns.org). How to access my webui from Web? I tried myname.dns.org/rutorrent but it didn't work
[20:21] <ZykoticK9> alkamid, are you forwarding port 80 from your router/firewall to your machine?
[20:22] <alkamid> ZykoticK9, yes
[20:23] <dajhorn> alkamid: The default port for webui is probably 6886, 8080, or 8081.   Try something like http://myname.dns.org:8081/rutorrent.   The `netstat` program can tell you where its listening.
[20:23] <itsux2bu> i use utorrent in windows.. what bittorrent client(s) are there for *nix ?
[20:24] <ZykoticK9> dajhorn, assuming localhost/rutorrent does work, it shouldn't be a port issue - as that would be 80
[20:26] <xangua> itsux2bu: a lot
[20:26] <randallnewton> I need help with an Ubuntu installation. I made a wrong turn somewhere and I don't want to destroy my existing Win environment.
[20:27] <cmatheson> i'm trying to figure out what the point of Gwibber is.  i thought it would show me the tweets of people i follow on twitter, but that doesn't seem to be the case.  is it only for posting my own tweets?
[20:27] <randallnewton> on reboot during the installation process the screen says "Attempting Boot from Hard Drive / error: no such device [then a long code number] / grub rescue >
[20:28] <kevr> itsux2bu: transmission
[20:28] <kevr> simple and wallah
[20:28] <kevr> randallnewton: is windows still installed?
[20:29] <randallnewton> Yes, unless it has already been overwritten. I don't believe that has happened.
[20:29] <rek> hi where's the boot prompt i need to do a rescue
[20:29] <rek> i need to rescue my grub
[20:29] <look_> rek: it should be on the Grub boot
[20:30] <cmatheson> rek: hold down the right shift key
[20:30] <kevr> randallnewton: boot up a live CD
[20:30] <look_> rek: hold down the right shift key
[20:30] <cmatheson> rek: er, as your computer boots, hold down the shift key
[20:30] <kevr> and edit grub
[20:30] <rek> when cmatheson ?
[20:30] <rek> kevr: how can i edit it
[20:30] <cmatheson> rek: as soon as your computer turns on, just hold the shift key down and you'll get the grub menu you're used to.  it's a pain in the butt, but that's how grub2 is
[20:31] <rek> i need to type rescue and grub-install /dev/....
[20:31] <look_> rek: in a terminal type sudo gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:31] <rek> cmatheson: are u sure?
[20:31] <look_> rek: you installed windows 7 over didn't you
[20:31] <kevr> rek: but installing it, and using the grub cmdline before you do
[20:31] <javatexan> moin
[20:31] <kevr> by*
[20:32] <kevr> there are tons of guides on google on how to repair grub with a live cd
[20:32] <randallnewton> Kevr, OK ... if I can find the CD
[20:32] <rek> look_: then what should i modify ? i installed win 7 in another partition in order to play some things that only win can play in another partition...
[20:32] <kevr> you should google, instead of making me do it.
[20:32] <kevr> just a forewarn
[20:32] <kevr> xD
[20:32] <javatexan> I am guessing I am screwed.  My exchange needs SSL, I can't find anywhere someone getting that to work with evolution-mapi
[20:32] <rek> sorry but i'd like some...tips..
[20:32] <javatexan> xangua:
[20:33] <dajhorn> javatexan: Exchange 5 is ancient and unsupported by the evolution helpers.
[20:33] <kevr> rek: i just gave the tips
[20:33] <kevr> now the walkthroughs are on google
[20:33] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 | rek
[20:33] <rek> ehat about shift ?
[20:33] <kevr> Boom.
[20:33] <kevr> Check that out.
[20:33] <look_> rek: what i do is install windows first, but i did this once. just reinstall ubuntu on a 2GB partition and it will replace MBR with Grub
[20:33] <kevr> ZykoticK9: nice bot.
[20:33] <rek> should i try it?
[20:33] <kevr> is it yours?
[20:33] <javatexan> dajhorn: gotcha, know of any ninja moves to make it work?  LOL
[20:33] <randallnewton> Kevr, I have both Ubuntu 7.04 and 8.10, but neither says "live CD"
[20:34] <ZykoticK9> !ubottu | kevr
[20:34] <itsux2bu> there is a #grub
[20:34] <kevr> ah
[20:34] <kevr> randallnewton: just boot up the cds, they are live cds
[20:34] <dajhorn> javatexan: Evolution pulls a lot of its data through an OW
[20:34] <itsux2bu> with this link.. http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[20:34] <randallnewton> OK.
[20:34] <dajhorn> javatexan: Evolution pulls a lot of its data through an OWA scrape.  It can be fixed, but nobody wants to do it.
[20:35] <javatexan> dajhorn: well we have OWA, but i get the 5.5 error that way
[20:35] <kevr> Looks like itsux2bu did the work, and now all you have to do is click a link, rek
[20:35] <kevr> either ubottu's or itsux2bu's link
[20:35] <rek> ok
[20:36] <randallnewton> I am at the menu of choices which includes "Install Ubuntu."
[20:36] <dajhorn> javatexan: Exchange 5.5 support ended sometime in late 2005.   If you are really actually talking to an Exchange 5.5 server, then you've probably got a hopeless IT environment.  You may want to double-check the version number that you gave earlier.
[20:36] <Maahes> I have a big apt problem, I'm trying to install libncurses5-dev and it says: Depends: libncurses5 (=5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3) but 5.7+20100626-0ubuntu1 is to be installed I try to forceversion libncurses5 and nothing happens
[20:38] <Madwill> how can i find which user runs php
[20:38] <ZykoticK9> Madwill, my guess is www-data, but i don't know how to confirm/deny that.  Best of luck.
[20:38] <guntbert> randallnewton: what do you want to accomplish?
[20:39] <Maahes> I have a big apt problem, I'm trying to install libncurses5-dev and it says: Depends: libncurses5 (=5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3) but 5.7+20100626-0ubuntu1 is to be installed I try to forceversion libncurses5 and nothing happens
[20:39] <ZykoticK9> !repeat | Maahes
[20:40] <shane2peru> Ok, I have two monitors, setup as twin view, however, Lucid no longer uses xorg (right?) so nvidia wants to save the config to xorg, does it need to be saved in xorg? or is there a better way?
[20:40] <ZykoticK9> shane2peru, "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to generate an xorg.conf for nvidia
[20:40] <randallnewton> GUNTBERT: The goal is dual boot Win and Ubuntu. I've done it on other computers and it seemed no-brainer but this time I goofed and got to a prompt that said it couldn't boot the hard drive and "grub rescue"
[20:40] <litropy> May I please have the command to open the file manager?
[20:40] <ZykoticK9> litropy, nautilus
[20:40] <dajhorn> Maahes: You've got a stale apt cache, or you're missing an deb-src line somewhere.  -dev packages often depend on specific version of the implementation.
[20:41] <Muelli> Maahes: you can try apt-get install libncurses-dev=5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3
[20:41] <shane2peru> ZykoticK9, right, but I didn't think lucid uses xorg, so would that cause a conflict?  or would it even check for it?
[20:41] <Maahes> dajhorn:, Muelli thankyou ^_^
[20:41] <ZykoticK9> shane2peru, with nvidia you need an xorg.conf!
[20:41] <Muelli> Maahes: generally, you can force the version to be installed with the "=version" syntax. To get the available versions, do a apt-cache policy
[20:41] <shane2peru> ZykoticK9, ok, thanks a bundle~
[20:41] <dajhorn> Maahes:  5.7+20090803-2ubuntu3 is current for Lucid.  That probably means that you just need to upgrade the libncurses5 library to current too.
[20:42] <randallnewton> GUNTBERT: Right now I've booted a Ubuntu CD and have the starting screen for trying U. or installing it.
[20:43] <guntbert> randallnewton: I see .. that was why you asked about live CD (and old CDs) ... sorry I cannot really help you, step 1 would be to diagnose the problem, but as I said ... grub rescue is not where I'm good -- Good luck :-)
[20:43] <Maahes> dajhorn: that's actually what I'm trying to do, its the libncurses5 library that won't forceversion in synaptic
[20:43] <randallnewton> KEVR, are you still answering me? It got really confusing upstream.
[20:43] <pietro10_> Hi. Can I configure NetworkManager to flash the whole screen when the VPN connection "AirNet" drops (like it just did)? I use Compiz's magnification so I won't know until it's too late. Thanks
[20:44] <pietro10_> 10.04
[20:44] <Maahes> so is refreshing the apt-cache just an aptitude update?
[20:44] <pietro10_> also can someone kill the regular pietro10
[20:44] <javatexan> how do you find out what version of gnome you are running?
[20:44] <dajhorn> Maahes: Try `apt-get autoremove --purge libncurses5-dev` followed by a `apt-get dist-upgrade`.   Just removing the wedged package can often resolve dependency problems.
[20:44] <Muelli> pietro10_: generally yes. But it won't be too easy. I don't think NetworkManager caters that need so you'd have to code it up yourself.
[20:45] <pietro10_> javatexan: system > about gnome
[20:45] <javatexan> lol, that was easy....thanks
[20:45] <alice_> hello
[20:46] <randallnewton> Repeating my problem. On reboot during the installation process the screen says (line by line)  "Attempting Boot from Hard Drive / error: no such device [then a long code number] / grub rescue >"
[20:47] <randallnewton> I shut the computer off and then booted an Ubuntu CD. Can I just start over or do I need to do something to repair? I don't want to lose the Win installation already on this computer.
[20:47] <alice_> any nice people over here ?
[20:47] <keywoard> ey guys U have a problem I have ubuntu 8.10 and I need upgrade this to ubuntu 9.10
[20:48] <keywoard> anyone the best way?
[20:48] <RandomRoger> randallnewton: if ytou did not install anything, your PC should be unaffected
[20:48] <keywoard> ey guys U have a problem I have ubuntu 8.10 and I need upgrade this to ubuntu 9.10 anyone the best way?
[20:48] <JohnSQ_> Who is the messageb user listed in my top listing and what are they for?
[20:48] <RandomRoger> keywoard: are you willing to do a fresh install ?
[20:48] <lelle> yeah you should, 10.04 is out already
[20:49] <ZykoticK9> keywoard, i'd recommend a reinstall personally - you'd need to update 8.10 to 9.04 then 9.04 to 9.10 i believe.  plus personally i'd recommend 10.04
[20:49] <randallnewton> RandomRoger: I did the goof up a few weeks ago, and am just getting back to fix it. I think I did something on both physical hard drives that I should not have done. But I'm not really sure.
[20:49] <lelle> and in about 1 month its 10.10
[20:49] <keywoard> randallnewton, I have a server with 8.10 I wont delete anything
[20:49] <lelle> personally i wouldnt update at all
[20:49] <RandomRoger> hmm, I'm not 100% sure what the issue is. Can you recap randallnewton ?
[20:49] <keywoard> ZykoticK9, how can do it? with apt-get dist-upgrade ?
[20:50] <rek> kevr:  thank you
[20:50] <ZykoticK9> keywoard, wrong command.  i don't do updates, so i'm not realy sure...
[20:50] <rek> mnt now is busy but i'm rebooting the system now
[20:50] <kroson> keywoard: dont you consider doing a clean install instead?
[20:51] <kroson> to update from 8.10 to 9.10 you will need to upgrade to 9.04 first
[20:51] <keywoard> I have a lot of things there
[20:51] <keywoard> I cant erase anything
[20:51] <randallnewton> RANDOMROGER: A few weeks ago I started a Ubuntu install on a Win 7 machine. Somewhere in the process it asked me a question I don't remember, but it was about choosing which physical drive ... I chose both. Then it rebooted and I got the "grub rescue" screen. I don't know how to proceed.
[20:51] <keywoard> I just need add new things
[20:51] <kroson> keywoard: the problem is that updates may be dangerous and break your system
[20:51] <RandomRoger> Hmm
[20:51] <kroson> so maybe you should consider backup anyay, even if you plan on upgrading
[20:51] <randallnewton> right now I have Ubuntu 8.10 cd booted.
[20:52] <RandomRoger> randallnewton: I would put in the ubuntu CD and start the proccess again. I'm not sure exactly what mite have happened.
[20:52] <ZykoticK9> keywoard, it' better to assume the upgrades WILL break your system - be sure to back everything up before proceeding (which then means you can fresh install WHEN things go bad)
[20:52] <RandomRoger> Possibly try selecting only 1 physical drive when it asks.
[20:52] <nosklo> How can I disable automatic start of presentation for .pps files on openoffice? Without manually renaming to .ppt of course.
[20:52] <kroson> ZykoticK9: completely agree
[20:52] <randallnewton> RandomRoger: there is an option to "boot from first hard drive." shall I try that first?
[20:53] <RandomRoger> Hmm, yes you could try.
[20:53] <JohnSQ_> Who is the messageb user listed in my top listing and what are they for?
[20:53] <RandomRoger> It sounds to be me like the install did not finish though
[20:53] <randallnewton> RandomRoger: I got the "grub rescue" screen again.
[20:53] <mtduv> Hi, I was wondering if there was a way through either Compiz or X to have windows expand independently of the size of the font? When I try to maximize the terminal window, for example, I have a border of whitespace due to the fact that the window size is not a direct multiple of the font size. Is there a workaround for this?
[20:53] <RandomRoger> randallnewton: I would try booting the install CD and start over.
[20:53] <randallnewton> I'll reboot the Ubuntu CD and start the install process again. When it asks which physical hard drive, how do I know which one?
[20:54] <keywoard> I see this cmd
[20:54] <keywoard> sudo apt-get install update-manager-core
[20:54] <dajhorn> JohnSQ_: That is the DBUS account.  Don't touch it.
[20:54] <RandomRoger> One should be the master drive
[20:54] <Kingsy> I have just edited my samba configurations file.. umm --> gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf <-- after that how do I restart samba? I thought it was sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart but that doesnt work
[20:54] <JohnSQ_> !DBUS
[20:54] <keywoard> do-release-upgrade
[20:54] <Stale> Hello everybody, does anyone know that unsupported Ubuntu releases means the end of updates (as in all updates [including Wine])?
[20:54] <keywoard> whit this cmd we can upgrade
[20:54] <keywoard> I'm reading a post
[20:54] <jrib> Kingsy: sudo service samba restart?  (maybe sambad, check)
[20:54] <keywoard> anyone know this cmd?
[20:55] <jrib> keywoard: upgrade your packages or upgrade to a new release of ubuntu?
[20:55] <ZykoticK9> keywoard, "sounds" correct
[20:55] <rek> hi
[20:55] <look_> hai
[20:55] <keywoard> upgrade new realse
[20:55] <rek> now i'm running my system
[20:55] <keywoard> I want 9.10
[20:55] <jrib> !upgrade | keywoard
[20:55] <JohnSQ_> dajhorn:  What about the rtkit user?  /usr/lib/ritkit/rtkit/-daemon  Is that normal?
[20:55] <keywoard> let met see
[20:55] <keywoard> I just have console
[20:55] <keywoard> is a server
[20:55] <rek> but i haven't seen any grub look_ what does this mean
[20:55] <RandomRoger> keywoard: I would suggest backing up your important data, Often times an upgrade can break the system.
[20:55] <jrib> keywoard: that link has server instructions too
[20:55] <look_> rek: wait are you in windows?
[20:56] <look_> rek: or linux?
[20:56] <Stale> upgrade = RAM = $
[20:56] <dajhorn> JohnSQ_: Also a system account.
[20:56] <rek> look_: i'm on kubuntu
[20:56] <Kingsy> jrib - same error umm samba: unrecognized service or sambad: unrecognized service or sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found   <-- any other ideas?
[20:56] <randallnewton> RandomRoger: I think I'll poke around with "Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer" and see if I can figure out whether or not my existing Win installation is still there.
[20:56] <look_> rek: yes thats linux
[20:56] <JohnSQ_> Nothing to worry about then?
[20:56] <look_> you didn't see grub?
[20:56] <rek> look_: of course
[20:56] <mtduv> Hi, I was wondering if there was a way through either Compiz or X to have windows expand independently of the size of the font? When I try to maximize the terminal window, for example, I have a border of whitespace due to the fact that the window size is not a direct multiple of the font size. Is there a workaround for this?
[20:56] <look_> rek: are you on a live cd? please give better details
[20:56] <JohnSQ_> dajhorn:  Where can I view a list of all system accounts?
[20:56] <RandomRoger> Yeah, that's a decent idea randallnewton. It sounds like it mite be gone already. But at very least you can do some research as to how to procceed
[20:57] <jrib> Kingsy: try "smbd"
[20:57] <egor_tensin> hey guys! is there any way i can write arbitrary text directly on my desktop wallpaper? i'm looking for some utility which i'd be able to use like 'write-to-desktop --x=25 --y=25 "Hello, world!"
[20:57] <kroson> keywoard: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JauntyUpgrades and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KarmicUpgrades
[20:57] <rek> look_: no maybe i have to configure it? however when i restored my grub2 i saw something like xp detected... i installed grub2 into dev sda which is mbr i think so all right...
[20:57] <dajhorn> JohnSQ_: /etc/passwd and /etc/group.   Anything with a pid or gid less than 1000 is typically a system account or daemon.
 open walpaper in gimp
[20:57] <alice_> write what u want put what u want
[20:57] <Kingsy> jrib - http://pastebin.com/VLmL1837  <-- kinda got something back..
[20:57] <alice_> save it as png
[20:57] <RandomRoger> Not that I am aware of egor_tensin, other then editing the wallpaper
[20:57] <Kingsy> but its still saying something about unabling to resolve server.. is that normal?
[20:57] <jrib> Kingsy: that's correct
[20:58] <rek> look_: no i'm running linux now i'm almost happy
[20:58] <JohnSQ_> dajhorn: Thank you.
[20:58] <dajhorn> JohnSQ_: Welcome.
[20:58] <jrib> Kingsy: pastebin /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
[20:58] <Kingsy> ok
[20:58] <look_> rek: ok then reboot and while its rebooting hold down the shift key if you see grub then your just fine but you will have to hold shift every time. I would just reinstall with windows first and then install Kubuntu
[20:58] <rek> i think one day jrib told me his nick is a river
[20:58] <egor_tensin> alice_: actually i want to write a script that would write something different every 5 seconds, for example
[20:58] <mtduv> Hi, I was wondering if there was a way through either Compiz or X to have windows expand independently of the size of the font? When I try to maximize the terminal window, for example, I have a border of whitespace due to the fact that the window size is not a direct multiple of the font size. Is there a workaround for this?
[20:58] <jrib> rek: eh? :)
[20:58] <rek> jrib:  just that
[20:59] <RandomRoger> egor_tensin: Anything is possible, but im not aware of a way to do that.
[20:59] <rek> look_: every time? not to difficult
[20:59] <Kingsy> jrib - ooohh could that be cos I changed my hostname? well computer name?
[20:59] <Kingsy> /etc/hosts still contains the old one?
[20:59] <jrib> !hostname | Kingsy, yes
[20:59] <look_> rek: try it, if it does not work then please come back ing
[20:59] <RandomRoger> You could ask in a gnome channel, they mite know of something.
[20:59] <pervasiveTiger> Hi, I was wondering if there was a way through either Compiz or X to have windows expand independently of the size of the font?

[20:59] <rek> ing ?
[20:59] <look_> rek: please come back after rebooting.
[20:59] <sachael> did anyone managed to install zathura pdf reader on ubuntu 10.04?
[20:59] <soreau> ! repeat | pervasiveTiger
[20:59] <rek> i know look_
[20:59] <Kingsy> jrib - thanks man.. just editing hosts now
[20:59] <look_> rek: sorry i spell a little weired sometimes
[21:00] <rek> look_:  i thoght ing was standing for something
[21:00] <egor_tensin> RandomRoger: thanks, will do. feel like it's useless, though. even googling gave nothing --- so the whole idea looks like a good opportunity to have some practice in python
[21:00] <ariqs> I went through all kinds of shit to get connected to the internet in ubuntu.  How can make this less retarded?
[21:00] <lestat_> evening
[21:01] <Kingsy> jrib - ok so now the hostnames match in hostname and hosts if I restart samba I shouldnt get a resolve server error
 morning
[21:01] <Kingsy> jrib - which I don't
[21:01] <lestat> alice_: ^^
[21:01] <jrib> Kingsy: correct
[21:01] <Kingsy> jrib - thanks man!! great stuff
[21:01] <hiku> !language | ariqa

[21:01] <lestat> i just installed the last ubuntu 64 bit, and i get this error with many graphicals apps: gnome-screensav[2487]: segfault at 4 ip 00007fd98427f12e sp 00007fffc30be270 error 4 in libGL.so.1.2[7fd984229000+a2000]
[21:02] <lestat> any idea what the problem is ?
[21:02] <RandomRoger> egor_tensin: It would wager that it's something of a  "custom hack" type of thing.
[21:02] <jrib> ariqs: please don't abuse the bot
[21:02] <RandomRoger> I*
[21:02] <Stale> Anybody knows how to still get the best wine release package for an unsupported Ubuntu 7.04 (RAM size matters to me)?
[21:02] <bodwick> lestat: try turning off the screensaver
[21:02] <jrib> Stale: use a supported release
[21:02] <Kingsy> ariqs - ?
 64 is not a the best option u maight have issues cuz of drivers etc
[21:03] <danboid> Anyone had there FAT32 USB drives being mounted read only in Karmic? I can mount the same drive r/w just fine under sysresccd and XP
[21:03] <guntbert> !u | alice_
[21:03] <egor_tensin> RandomRoger: will find out
[21:03] <lestat> bodwick: it's the same when i run glxinfo
[21:03] <ZykoticK9> lestat, are you using ATI graphics card?
[21:03] <alice_> guntbert,  but i dont speak english im sorry
[21:03] <bodwick> lestat: you use fglrx ?
[21:03] <alice_> :(
[21:03] <alice_> i speak american guntbert
[21:04] <Stale> jrib: I would if its requirement was not so demanding. Nowadays, most Linux distributions just go for the 'latest' (yet also unstable) things.
[21:04] <lestat> bodwick: yes
[21:04] <rek> hi
[21:04] <lestat> ZykoticK9: yes
[21:04] <IdleOne> alice_: Even Americans know how to spell. Please write properly.
[21:04] <hiku> !hi | rek
[21:04] <jrib> Stale: 8.04 is supported still
[21:04] <ZykoticK9> lestat, good luck
[21:04] <look_> rek: did it work?
[21:04] <alice_> god help me
[21:04] <dajhorn> Stale: Compile it from a later source package.   Read up on `apt-get build-dep` and package pinning.   Alternatively,  CrossOver 5 will install on Ubuntu 7.04.
[21:04] <rek> look_: now i don't see xp in the list
[21:04] <lestat> ZykoticK9: huhu
[21:04] <look_> when you hold shift?
[21:04] <lestat> what does that mean ?
[21:04] <hiexpo> hola all
[21:04] <rek> yes
[21:05] <alice_> hiexpo, buenas hombre
[21:05] <hiku> hi hiexpo
[21:05] <rek> i see only ubuntu and memtests
[21:05] <psilikon> is there a utility to toggle boot services on/off? For instance other distro's such as opensuse have chkconfig.
[21:05] <psilikon> on 10.04
[21:05] <jrib> psilikon: not for upstart atm
[21:05] <Xavierdarkness> So should I of installed windows first, then Ubuntu? I realized I had a small need for windows.
[21:05] <danboid> psilikon, Install rcconf
[21:05] <ZykoticK9> lestat, i know there are some bugs/issues with ATI and GL programs - try running "glxgears" or "glxinfo" and you'll probably get segfaults as well.  I have no solution (i don't touch ATI)
[21:05] <look_> rek: what i would do is reinstall windows on the whole harddrive, then install Ubuntu/Kubuntu you will be just fine if you have no data on the HDD if you do have data then back some stuff up on a flash drive
[21:06] <bodwick> lestat: try using the update-alternatives and chceck if youre using atis libGl
[21:06] <rek> look_:  i reinstalled xp
[21:06] <psilikon> danboid rcconf. Does that work with 10.04? I was using sysvconfig with older version of ubuntu and I LOVED it.
[21:06] <Stale> jrib: I understand the 8.04 requires 198 RAM?
[21:06] <dajhorn> Xavierdarkness: Unless you want Winodws to play games, try something like VirtualBox or VMware.
[21:06] <lestat> bodwick: thanks will try
[21:06] <bodwick> lestat: you have fglrx from repo or amds site?
[21:06] <lestat> ZykoticK9: you mean i'd need to switch to 32 ?
[21:06] <danboid> psilikon, Yep. sysvconfig is the other option
[21:06] <look_> rek: but windows xp got ride of Grub
[21:06] <lestat> bodwick: repo
[21:06] <rek> look_: we should fix the problem telling grub2 where's xp
[21:06] <Xavierdarkness> dajhorn: k. All I need it for is my Zune.
[21:07] <rek> what does get ride os smth mean ?
[21:07] <look_> rek: or you could reinstall a small ubuntu and it will fix grub during install, then just delete the small install
[21:07] <psilikon> danboid, do you knw if sysvconfig will work on ubuntu server 10.04?
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> lestat, i doubt it's a 32/64bit issue - i think it's an ATI issue.  perhaps bodwick can help you.
[21:07] <danboid> Xavierdarkness, Ubuntu user with a Zune???
[21:07] <look_> rek: i mean like a ubuntu with only 2GB of HDD space
[21:07] <danboid> psilikon, I use rcconf for that, both should work for server and desktop editions
[21:07] <jrib> Stale: if that's too much then don't use gnome and use lighter alternatives for your programs.  If that's too much of a hassle, then ubuntu is not the right distro for you
[21:08] <Xavierdarkness> danboid: yeah. Lol, that's not normal I'm assuming.
[21:08] <rek> can we fix grub2 manually look_ ?
[21:08] <look_> rek: there is a way but its a bit complicated if your a beginner
[21:08] <danboid> rek, Do update-grub2 then install-grub
[21:08] <ariqs> jrib, my ubuntu cd tested perfect. Also, everything went fine when I actually got a menu on bootup, but for some reason, I don't generally get it. I don't know, ubuntu is silly
[21:08] <rek> i'm a beginner in grub only
[21:08] <psilikon> danboid, ok thank you. Now, if I use rcconf will it interfere with upstart?
[21:08] <look_> rek: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-24113.html
[21:09] <lestat> bodwick: something like update-alternatives --display libGL.so ?
[21:09] <lestat> i never use that command before
[21:09] <jrib> !away > Centurion210
[21:09] <danboid> Anyone had their fat32 drives mounting read only??
[21:10] <rek> danboid: install-grub you mean grub-install
[21:10] <danboid> rek: Yes, sorry - grub-install /dev/sda or whatever
[21:11] <rek> danboid:  dev/seda3 where i fhoud win using update-grub ?
[21:11] <bodwick> lestat: update-alternatives --display gl_conf
[21:11] <rek> instead f the mbr
[21:11] <rek> damn keyboard
[21:11] <ariqs> what do I need to do so that I don't have to load a terminal, type sudo modprobe martian_dev then sudo martian_modem then load another terminal and type wvdial then move them all to another window, just so that I can get on the internet in ubuntu?
[21:11] <Stale> !away > Stale
[21:12] <skjoedt-> Hi, I am trying to understand LVM2 partitions. I need space on my root partition and I have a 50gb LVM2 partition that I made when I installed ubuntu. Now, I want to use this space to exend my root partition. Is there a way to see if this LVM2 partition is used by anything?
[21:12] <DigeratiW> hey all, in ubuntu, how do I make it so that in Places>Network I can see the windows domain
[21:13] <danboid> DigeratiW, You don't normally need to do anything for that. I take it your net connection/ adapter etc works otherwise
[21:13] <DigeratiW> well its in a VM
[21:13] <DigeratiW> that may be the issue
[21:13] <ariqs> right
[21:13] <Stale> What I don't get is why would Ubuntu ignore its previous build by shutting down its update servers? Is there a site where people can still get the neccessary updates?
[21:14] <rek> ?
[21:14] <d3v0> ok so i have virtually no space left on my hdd and i cant send anything to the trash to make some space, what do?
[21:14] <ChogyDan> ariqs: have you tried adding lines to a modprob file?
[21:14] <ChogyDan> ariqs: or maybe /etc/modules
[21:15] <danboid> d3v0, apt-get clean, baobab
[21:15] <ariqs> ChogyDan, no, I don't know what I'm doing. It's a miracle I even got on the internet in ubuntu at all. Thank god for man pages
[21:15] <d3v0> baobab?
[21:15] <jrib> d3v0: use rm (bypasses trash)
[21:16] <danboid> So no-one else has seen fat32b drives being mounted read only? Maybe its coz its a big (250GB) drive? Don't much fancy re-formatting as FAT16 but that may be the only option
[21:16] <d3v0> thanks
[21:16] <ChogyDan> ariqs: hah! man pages, thank god they worked for you.  I think for anything you have to mod_prob, I think you can just add it to /etc/modules
[21:16] <jrib> danboid: check dmesg
[21:16] <danboid> d3v0, baobab shows you where you hd space has gone. Its called 'Disk analyser' in the menu
[21:17] <d3v0> ah k
[21:17] <d3v0> cheers
[21:17] <skjoedt-> Is anyone familiar with logical volumes? I have a LVM2 partition in /dev/sda6 but I can't access it. Its 50gb and I want to use this space to extend my root partition. Is it safe to remove this partition?
[21:18] <Fableflame> Does Ultimate Edition play WIndows games better than Ubuntu, or does it just come with more Linux games installed?
[21:18] <d3v0> sudo rm won't let me delete a directory
[21:18] <pseudis> ca parle francais
[21:18] <ZykoticK9> !fr | pseudis
[21:18] <danboid> d3v0, You need rm -rf
[21:18] <bodwick> d3v0 rm -r
[21:18] <lestat> link currently points to /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf | Current `best' version is /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf.
[21:18] <lestat> bodwick: so i guess it's using the right one ?
[21:18] <d3v0> thanks again
[21:19] <ZykoticK9> danboid, careful giving "f" switch
[21:19] <Raskah> Any reason not to get i7 950 over i7 930 for $20 more?
[21:19] <bodwick> lestat, seem so , you're using the default kernel? which fglrx version?
[21:19] <ChogyDan> ariqs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=436779
[21:19] <pseudis> need help somone speack frensh
[21:20] <ZykoticK9> !fr | pseudis
[21:20] <guntbert> skjoedt-: to see if it is used or not please !pastebin your /etc/fstab
[21:20] <ZykoticK9> pseudis, "/join #ubuntu-fr"
[21:20] <bodwick> lestat you could simply try purge fglrx, reinstall it, do aticonfig --initial and see if anything changes
[21:21] <lestat> bodwick: kernel 2.6.32-24-generic | fglrx 2:8.723.1-0ubuntu4
[21:21] <lestat> ok will try that
[21:21] <pseudis> ZykoticK9 thanks
[21:21] <FunnyLookinHat> I unzipped a linux binary and copied it to /usr/local/bin - but when I try to run it I get this: "-bash: /usr/bin/flvcheck: No such file or directory" - ???  I used sudo to copy and did sudo chmod +x to the file as well
[21:22] <lestat> FunnyLookinHat: in the binaries you copied was there a flvcheck file ?
[21:22] <ZykoticK9> FunnyLookinHat, are you using 64bit ubuntu by chance?
[21:22] <skjoedt-> guntbert: here is my /etc/fstab file: http://pastebin.com/kkYhC0gW
[21:23] <bodwick> lestat, first sudo apt-get purge fglrx, sudo apt-get install fglrx and aticonfig --initial, it this doesnt help well think
[21:23] <lestat> ^^
[21:24] <gm1959> running 10.4.1 - where can I read up on how to get upstart to NOT start things like the X desktop and apache, etc?
[21:24] <bodwick> lestat fglrx 2:8.741 is available
[21:24] <gm1959> looks like there's no equivalent of 'chkconfig'?
[21:24] <jrib> gm1959: in this repsonse!  Basically, add "never" as a starting condition.  If that's too vague, tell me
[21:25] <ZykoticK9> FunnyLookinHat, If you are using 64bit then "sudo apt-get install ia32-libs" then try executable again.  Also, you should be able to type "which flvcheck" and it should say /usr/bin (if that's the one you want to use)
[21:25] <guntbert> skjoedt-: looks like you really don't use any LVM volumes, to make sure please type sudo lvscan
[21:25] <lestat> bodwick: you mean from repo ?
[21:25] <gm1959> jrib - one level too vague - upstart never apache2?
[21:25] <lestat> i just did a update && upgrade and it's not pulling it
[21:25] <bodwick> lestat: yup
[21:25] <jrib> gm1959: here's my /etc/init/gdm.conf: http://pastebin.com/ayJkyiSF
[21:25] <mdwright_laptop> Is there an easy way to install mysql as case _insensitive_ on 10.04
[21:25] <lestat> bodwick: do i need to enable something ?
[21:25] <skjoedt-> guntbert: Brings up two lines: /dev/vg_skjoedt/lv_root and /dev/vg_skjoedt/lv_swap
[21:26] <guntbert> skjoedt-: is there any "ACTIVE" in one of those lines?
[21:26] <skjoedt-> guntbert: It may not be in use. I've installed Gparted and it displays a lvm2 partition at the bottom and in the coloum "used" it is written "---"
[21:27] <rbellamy> NetworkManager + OpenVPN = pl0nk
[21:27] <skjoedt-> guntbert: No, only inactive
[21:27] <Stale> Do the later ubuntu releases have a higher requirement for RAM?
[21:27] <jrib> Stale: yes
[21:27] <jrib> Stale: in general
[21:27] <DBAN> hi
[21:27] <gm1959> jrib - so how do I get the text console to start instead>?
[21:28] <skjoedt-> guntbert: I have tried to remove the LVM2 by lvremove /dev/sda6 but it doesnt work. I dont think I am doing it correctly
[21:28] <DBAN> do somebody know how to configure about:home page in firefox?
[21:28] <guntbert> skjoedt-: from my experience that really looks like thats only from an old installation and not used/needed anymore
[21:28] <jrib> gm1959: it will do that if you don't start gdm
[21:28] <jrib> Stale: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[21:28] <Stale> jrib: how much by the way? I intend to follow up with alternate releases (as they work with my 7.04 and 8.04 experience).
[21:28] <pseudis> ok nos response from ubuntu-fr they care about orthographe not trying to give us an answer
[21:28] <pseudis> so i need help
[21:29] <skjoedt-> guntbert: It is certainly possible. Just need a way to remove it and make it free unallocated space so I can extend my root partition
[21:29] <MrPocketz> You guys ever see where you setup Remote Desktop on an ubuntu box
[21:29] <jrib> Stale: here's 8.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/installation-guide/i386/minimum-hardware-reqts.html
[21:29] <MrPocketz> and you can connect to it, everythig you click on or move moves on the host, but your video feed over VNC is frozen?
[21:29] <pseudis> please help
[21:29] <bodwick> lestat, just try reinstalling fglrx
[21:30] <rek> danboy thx
[21:30] <rek> danboid:
[21:30] <kbrosnan> DBAN: in fx4?
[21:30] <jrib> Stale: but no way will a desktop be even semi-usable with 64mb despite what that document says...
[21:30] <rek> all is working
[21:30] <rek> he's the best
[21:30] <rbellamy> MrPocketz, that sounds like a bug... some kinda framebuffer issue
[21:30] <MrPocketz> rbellamy, thats what i was thinking
[21:30] <rek> i am the winner
[21:30] <lestat> huhu seems like kill -9 `pidof X` is not good :\
[21:30] <guntbert> skjoedt-: please see http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm for handling LVM, you have to remove the LVs, then the VG, then you can assign the partition a new type ...
[21:30] <MrPocketz> it can't be firewall, as wehen i type in the password through VNC if the local session has locked, it shows me the *****
[21:30] <lestat> my system just crashed, no output on screen, no network connection, nothing
[21:30] <MrPocketz> so it's working up until then
[21:31] <Stale> jrib: thank you for your help, jrib. I think I am not sure what RAM really means, but I was just following the CD instructions...
 in 3.6
[21:31] <rbellamy> MrPocketz, is this on a local desktop?
[21:31] <jrib> Stale: how much ram do you have?
[21:31] <MrPocketz> rbellamy, over the internet
[21:31] <skjoedt-> guntbert: Okay, I'll take a loog
[21:31] <guntbert> skjoedt-: Good luck :-)
[21:32] <kbrosnan> DBAN: no such thing. unless you are dealing with an extension
[21:32] <guntbert> pseudis: what is your question?
[21:32] <rbellamy> MrPocketz, oic. and you have cache bitmaps on RDP set, correct?
[21:32] <bodwick> lestat, you have restricted repo enabled ?
[21:32] <kbrosnan> DBAN: if so then try to find the developer's homepage
[21:32] <MrPocketz> um
[21:32] <MrPocketz> i, don't know?
[21:32] <DBAN> ok I try
[21:33] <Stale> jrib: for my laptop, I have 3.00 GB of RAM. It's those new computers. What I was aiming for are those older computers.
[21:33] <JamesC> If I'm trying to install windows7 on my machine, I'm trying to completely remove ubuntu, for now, how do I do it?  When I try to install from the win7 disk it says the files aren't ntfs
[21:33] <rbellamy> MrPocketz, check, and if it's on, turn it off, if it's off, turn it on...
[21:33] <jrib> Stale: how much on the older ones?
[21:33] <MrPocketz> host side ?
[21:33] <MrPocketz> or where?
[21:33] <lestat> bodwick: i'm not sure because i did nothing to enable it, but how could i have installed fglrx otherwise ?
[21:34] <Stale> jrib: I'll be right back (am checking on the most oldest system I have).
[21:34] <Stale> jrib: and then will make an estimate.
[21:34] <rbellamy> MrPocketz, it's a client-side setting, under "Performance"
[21:34] <MrPocketz> hmm
[21:34] <lestat> mm
[21:34] <MrPocketz> 'm at work
[21:34] <MrPocketz> host is at home :(
[21:34] <lestat> yes it's enabled
[21:34] <bodwick> lestat right but dont have latest fglrx available
[21:34] <rbellamy> that's about as much control as your gonna get for the RDP connection settings....
[21:35] <bodwick> lestat, nevermind, you tried what i wrote eariler?
[21:35] <lestat> yes
[21:35] <lestat> 2 seconds i'm checking if it worked
[21:35] <lestat> have only one screen and keyboard :s
[21:35] <ckdoty01> this might be the wronge place.  in ubuntu 10.04 were is the root web directory for apache?
[21:36] <rbellamy> MrPocketz, describe the setup... RDP to client that has VNC on, etc.... that's why I was asking whether this was happening locally...
[21:36] <bodwick> lestat :)
[21:36] <rbellamy> ckdoty01, /var/www is where things start
[21:37] <ckdoty01> thanks rbellamy
[21:37] <MrPocketz> yes. The Ubuntu 10.04 client has "remote desktop" enabled, which uses VNC. listening on port 5900
[21:37] <lestat> bodwick: yay, direct rendering: Yes \o/
[21:37] <rbellamy> ckdoty01, check the files at /etc/apache2/sites-available
[21:37] <MrPocketz> I've got egress filtering on the firewall, and ingredd 5900 is port-forwarded directly to the machine
[21:37] <lestat> bodwick: thank you so much :)
[21:37] <bodwick> lestat no crushes?
[21:38] <MrPocketz> so i'm connecting from RealVNC on win7, over the internet
[21:38] <EgonSpengler> MrPocketz what OS is on the firewall ?
[21:38] <rbellamy> MrPocketz, that's good to know, but not what I'm looking for: are you VNC'ing into a machine, and then trying to hopscotch RDP from it to another?
[21:38] <MrPocketz> EgonSpengler, IpTables
[21:38] <madmax_x> hey all
[21:39] <EgonSpengler> MrPocketz you are stupid for not using OpenBSD and PF for a firewall since Linux is insecure inferior crap
[21:39] <JamesC> If I'm trying to install windows7 on my machine, I'm trying to completely remove ubuntu, for now, how do I do it?  When I try to install from the win7 disk it says the files aren't ntfs. I'm on 10.04 LTS- the Lucid Lynx
[21:39] <lestat> bodwick: well except the small default resolution, looks fine
[21:39] <lestat> bodwick: something particular to check ?
[21:39] <madmax_x> is there a way have my desktops as 2 sides of the cube to when i switch virtual desktop the left screen moves to the right moniter and the righ is the new desktop
[21:39] <Maahes> how can I set it so ctrl+alt+backspace restarts x like it used to?
[21:40] <rbellamy> !ot | EgonSpengler
[21:40] <madmax_x> Maahes, system>preferences>keyboard>layout>options
[21:40] <turt1e> JamesC, doesn't windows during the install allow you to remove partitions?
[21:40] <Crankygeek> Any familiar with setting up a Maildir format to run with Postfix abd Dovecot?
[21:40] <madmax_x> Maahes, key sequence to kill the x server
[21:41] <JamesC> Yes, you can go to custom and it shows two partitions of my 200GB HD, can I just delete the bigger one with linux on it?
[21:41] <JamesC> but I wasn't sure what happens when you delete, does it just default back to NTFS or something?
[21:41] <bodwick> lestat glad it worked, just change the resolution and will be great
[21:41] <rbellamy> madmax_x, there used to be something... I can't remember, but it was years ago when xinerama was the only show in town for multiple monitors... I can't remember what the program was called...
[21:41] <lestat> neat
[21:42] <Maahes> madmax_x: thankyou :D
[21:42] <madmax_x> the thing i need help with is i want virtual desktop to rotate [screen 1][screen 2] (switch to vdesktop2) [old screen 2] [screen 3]
[21:42] <lestat> bodwick: once again thank you very much :)
[21:42] <bodwick> lestat fgl_glxgears runs fine?

[21:44] <guntbert> !language | RandyRKelly
[21:44] <GodfatherofEire> Say, if I was to dd my hard drive into an image, and then decompress then dd the image back onto the drive at a later date, would it be distinguishable from a regular install? (i.e. would I be able to turn the computer in for repairs if the warranty was still "valid"?)
[21:44] <yaaar> hey guys, what does php -q <file> do? specifically the -q ...that flag isn't listed in 'man php'
[21:44] <hiexpo> someone kick him please
[21:44] <Stale> eh... angry spammers...
[21:45] <RandyRKelly> leave my name out of here
[21:45] <madmax_x> GodfatherofEire, yes...dd is a 1:1 copy
[21:45] <rbellamy> madmax_x, have you looked at beryl?
[21:45] <madmax_x> GodfatherofEire, also warrenties arent void because of software
[21:45] <IdleOne> RandyRKelly: it was a spam bot. just relax please
[21:45] <GodfatherofEire> madmax_x but would the metadata give it away since it wouldnt have been used in a long time?
[21:45] <guntbert> RandyRKelly: please follow the rules of this channel or part
[21:46] <rbellamy> I think that's what it was.... I seem to remember it had some nifty ways to manage desktops.....
[21:46] <madmax_x> GodfatherofEire, so it broke when it was within warrenty and your just getting around to send it in
[21:46] <RandyRKelly> well i am following i didnt do nothing
[21:46] <hiku> rbellamy: it's now compiz
[21:46] <RandyRKelly> the bot kept buzzing me
[21:46] <rbellamy> hiku, heh
[21:46] <MichealH> Can we get back on tpic... Please?
[21:47]  * rbellamy can has stoopeds
[21:47] <MichealH> Its a _support_ channel
[21:47] <natschil> natschil
[21:47] <GodfatherofEire> madmax_x, no, I want to put UNR on my eee, but that'd bork the warranty, so if i have to turn it in, I would dd the current config back onto the drive. I just want to know if itd be distinguishable from the original.
[21:47] <madmax_x> rbellamy, im not lookin to cube specifically just the ease of explaining
[21:47] <rbellamy> aha
[21:47]  * natschil meant to search for natschil, but forgot to press ctrl+f :)
[21:48] <rbellamy> I like the idea...
[21:48] <rbellamy> )Agoycb5847
[21:48] <gm1959> okay, so I changed the gdm to never, and now something is stopping the network from coming up.  the interface file is correct, but something isn't getting run at boot.  help?
[21:48] <madmax_x> rbellamy, like treat my desktop as one moniter but display 2 sides of the cube on multi display
[21:48] <rbellamy> yeah
[21:48] <Stale> jrib, dope, he's gone.
[21:49] <madmax_x> rbellamy, what do i google for that?
[21:49] <rbellamy> madmax_x, I do like it... it would also scale for 4, 6, etc displays.... different polygons...
[21:49] <madmax_x> rbellamy, exactly
[21:50] <madmax_x> rbellamy, think hitting ctrl+alt+left and getting one empty monitor and everything else shifts left
[21:50] <DarkSector> wow what was that ?
[21:50] <madmax_x> you could scroll the worl
[21:50]  * DarkSector gets back to code
[21:51] <rbellamy> madmax_x, I can't think of it... you should try serverfault, or one of those family of sites
[21:51] <GodfatherofEire> is there any metadata for when a partition was last modified? and would that be changed if I was to dd the disk image back onto the drive?
[21:51] <lestat> bodwick: sadly i cannot find how to change the resolution :( the screen is so small that the panel to change it doesn't fit on screen, and i cannot validate :(
[21:51] <gm1959> I type in service networking start, and it comes back 'stop/waiting'. - wtf does that mean?
[21:51] <madmax_x> GodfatherofEire, who cares about metadata
[21:51] <IdleOne> !wtf | gm1959
[21:52] <rbellamy> GodfatherofEire, yes, there's always metadata, but it's gonna be dependent on the system clock
[21:52] <gm1959> what's wrong with 'what the foolishness'?
[21:52] <GodfatherofEire> madmax_x, just saying (not like they'd check it anyway, but you never know) if they checked it whether or not they would be able to distinguish the dd'd copy from the original copy.
[21:52] <IdleOne> gm1959: obfuscated swearing is still swearing. Please don't
[21:53] <rbellamy> GodfatherofEire, as stated previously, dd is 1 to 1
[21:53] <rbellamy> bits don't have dna
[21:53] <canthus13> gm1959: You know what the accepted meaning of the acronym is.  Keep it clean.
[21:53] <javatexan> what does this mean?   introspection.m4 not found
[21:53] <gm1959> I type in service networking start, and it comes back 'stop/waiting'. - what the heck does that mean?
[21:53] <javatexan> i looked in /usr/share/aclocal and there is no introspection.m4
[21:54] <lestat> ah yes got it by bruteforcing with tab+enter :P
[21:54] <rbellamy> gm1959, did you run it under sudo?
[21:54] <bodwick> lestat just hold left alt key and drag the window so you cn validate
[21:54] <gm1959> rbellamy - yep
[21:54] <madmax_x> GodfatherofEire, it is a backup copy...if you dd drive a to drive b they are identicle....if you dd drive a to drivea.img it is a clone...if you now power the comp off for 6months they are still identicle
[21:54] <rbellamy> gm1959, and you ran service networking stop first?
[21:55] <lestat> bodwick: i manage to do it with TAB, but i was not able to reduce the window size
[21:55] <lestat> i guess i was at the minimum
[21:55] <gm1959> rbellamy - 'service networking stop' -> unknown instance
[21:55] <javatexan> how do I fix introspection.m4 not being in /usr/shar/aclocal?
[21:55] <bodwick> lestat so you've changed the resolution?
[21:55] <rbellamy> gm1959, well, there you go... now you're getting more detailed errors....
[21:56] <rbellamy> tail -n 40 syslog to pastebin
[21:56] <gm1959> cant, I only have console with no cut/paste, no networking
[21:57] <rbellamy> gm1959, yeah... i guess not... so do the command and look for something that looks like an error....
[21:57] <hiexpo> did they fix the problem with twitter in pidgin yet
[21:58] <deathanatos> gm1959: pipe it to a file, USB-sneaker-net it to whatever you're IRC-ing on, and pastebin?
[21:58] <senior_> anyone have a solution for not finding the sound card in ubuntu?
[21:58] <lestat> bodwick: yes
[21:58] <rbellamy> gm1959, lemme guess, you've recently made changes to your network card/settings, and now you're trying to get the machine back on the network?
[21:58] <senior_> can't find amixer or alsamixer since alsactl doesn't find any soundcard
[21:58] <lestat> bodwick: and i get like 240 fps with fgl_glxgears
[21:58] <bodwick> lestat great :)
[21:58] <gm1959> rbellamy - no, this all came about with me trying to remove X11/gnome

[22:03] <acidjazz> my /etc/hosts is just <IP_ADDRESS> localhost
[22:03] <lestat> bodwick: full screen i get 124FPS
[22:03] <deathanatos> and ::1 localhost :-)
[22:04] <hiku> acidjazz: yes, and that is fine. what are you trying to achive?
[22:04] <bodwick> lestat ok :)
[22:04] <acidjazz> what about my ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ?
[22:04] <lestat> bodwick: well i maximise the window in fact, is there a way to test it really with full screen ?
[22:04] <skjoedt-> How come when I extend my logical volume I don't get more free space in root partition which is linked to the volume? I ran "lvextend -L+9G /dev/vg_skjoedt/lv_root" successfully to get 9gb extra space but when I look in my home dir for instance I still have only 5gb space free.
[22:04] <hiku> !ask > acidjazz
[22:04] <acidjazz> hiku i just want to permanently legitly change the hostnaem of this box
[22:04] <hiku> acidjazz: you can do that with the command hostname
[22:04] <acidjazz> i never asked to ask a question..
[22:05] <gm1959> rc-sysinit in init, there's an env var
[22:05] <acidjazz> how come then when you do a hostname the bash prompt that reflects the hostname doestn change?
[22:05] <bodwick> lestat fglrxgears on full screen is a pretty good test, and if you have compiz turned on it will reduce your fps
[22:05] <acidjazz> ah gotta reset bash
[22:05] <hiku> acidjazz: ask the question all on one line please so it's easier for the people that can help read and understand what you are asking.
[22:05] <sjm> acidjazz, it was told to you above.  /etc/hostname for after you reboot  the hostname command for immediate use.
[22:05] <rbellamy> gm1959, dude, man up and read, well, the.... man page on runlevel like hiku suggested
[22:06] <mclamb> could someone help me, what's the command for updating my lucid to the new maverick beta (netbook remix)
[22:06] <bodwick> lestat so if you would like to play some 3d games or sth just use fusion-icon to change compiz to metacity
[22:06] <sjm> acidjazz, because the environment was read at the start of the bash session?
[22:06] <gm1959> rbellamy - I did.  I was just informing you that there's a env var in sysinit-rc
[22:06] <hiku> mclamb: not sure you can do that with a beta release
[22:06] <rbellamy> heh
[22:06] <hiku> gm1959: nice find gm1959
[22:06] <rbellamy> gm1959, okay.... I thought you were asking about it...
[22:06] <lestat> bodwick: ah nice to know, i don't intend to play much though, it's more about gpu computing :P
[22:07] <mclamb> hiku, maybe if I add the repositories it´ll work?
[22:07] <lestat> but will still be a helpful trick :)
[22:07] <rww> mclamb: "gksudo update-manager -d"; #ubuntu+1 for discussion and support; Maverick is not yet released, when it breaks your system you get to keep both pieces.
[22:07] <bodwick> lestat computing what? unfortunately boinc doesnt support gpu computing on linux :(
[22:07] <hiku> mclamb: I would highly suggest not doing that for fear of killing your current install.
[22:08] <gm1959> rbellamy - yes, the runlevel fixed it
[22:08] <hiku> mclamb: I would suggest running it in vbox
[22:08] <hiku> rww: well put =)
[22:08] <skjoedt-> Is anyone familiar with logical volumes LVM2? I need some help extending my / partition. I have successfully extended the "/dev/vg_skjoedt/lv_root" by 40gb but I still only have 5gb free space somehow.
[22:08] <lestat> bodwick: i don't know about boinc, but from what i read it's easy to make a program work with ATI Stream
[22:08] <rbellamy> gm1959, nice...
[22:09] <mclamb> hiku, rww, it's a spare computer so i´ll give it a try
[22:09] <bodwick> lestat true :)
[22:10] <madmax_x> is there a way to have virtual desktop 1 on screen 1 adn vdesktop2 on screen2...then when i ctrl+alt+left ....put vdesktop2 on screen 1 and vdesktop3 on screen 2?
[22:10] <rbellamy> skjoedt-, you've gotta extend the ext3/4 partition as well....
[22:10] <hiku> mclamb: ok... have fun
[22:10] <MichaelSOG> sugoi
[22:11] <skjoedt-> rbellamy: Ah, so I was not far away. I need to umount in order to do that, right? Mabye from a liveDisk
[22:11] <hiku> madmax_x: try #compiz-dev
[22:11] <madmax_x> thnx
[22:12] <rbellamy> skjoedt-, I don't think you need to unmount anymore, if memory serves
[22:12] <gm1959> rbellamy - what config var tells it to run dhcp/client?  I have network/interfaces set, but its not using it
[22:12] <michaelxq> what is text/html decoder that totem movie player asks me to download?
[22:12] <skjoedt-> rbellamy: Do you recall the commands for extending partitions, so I know what to search for?
[22:14] <rbellamy> skjoedt-, resize2fs
[22:14] <skjoedt-> rbellamy: Ok I will look into it. Thanks
[22:14] <michaelxq> how and where do i download a text/html decoder?
[22:15] <lundh> at www.google.com/chrome
[22:15] <lundh> or www.firefox.com
[22:15] <skjoedt-> rbellamy: Does it work on ext4?
[22:15] <rbellamy> gm1959, you're on your own at this point... I would do some research on "headless" ubuntu
[22:15] <lundh> or www.opera.com
[22:15] <FloodBot2> lundh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:15] <rbellamy> skjoedt-, yeppers
[22:16] <michaelxq> how and where do i download a text/html decoder?
[22:17] <Cyberkilla> o_0
[22:17] <rww> umm
[22:17] <rww> !browser
[22:17] <rww> ?
[22:17] <ckdoty01> how do i chmod only the files in a folder and sub folder and not the folders?
[22:17] <lundh> ckdoty01: use find
[22:17] <rbellamy> ckdoty01, find . -type f | chmod u+x
[22:17] <sjm> ckdoty01, try a find -exec that specifies only files
[22:18] <ckdoty01> hrmm.  i think I understand
[22:18] <rww> ckdoty01: find directorytosearchin -type f -exec chmod permissionshere '{}' \;
[22:18] <lundh> find . -type f -exec chmod {}\
[22:19] <michaelxq> totem movie player ask me to download a text/html decoder. Where and how do i?
[22:19] <ckdoty01> and thank you all
[22:19] <rbellamy> michaelxq, have you checked on the totem website for dependencies?
[22:19] <sjm> ckdoty01, though the -exec might have a little trouble if there are spaces in any file names.  then you might want to try xargs.
[22:20] <michaelxq> rbellamy, not really. i'll check it and get back to you
[22:20] <ckdoty01> there are no spaces
[22:20] <lidbjork> I've mounted my old Linux (Slackware) computer's home directory to my ubuntu box via sshfs. But filenames with unusual characters (e.g. ÅÄÖ) aren't interpreted/converted in the file browser. Can I fix this somehow?
[22:20] <Cyberkilla> michaelxq: Why would totem need to decode html?
[22:20] <Cyberkilla> michaelxq: What are you trying to open?
[22:21] <Cyberkilla> michaelxq: A playlist?
[22:21] <michaelxq> Cyberkilla, trying youtube plugin and shows me that
[22:21] <rbellamy> lidbjork, that sounds like an encoding issue... the slackware box was using a different system-level encoding...
[22:22] <_Neytiri_> I was wondering if i can get some help on how to format a drive to etx4 fromteh command line on a 10.4.1 system
[22:22] <lidbjork> rbellamy: Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured too. But I couldn't find any options to change/convert encoding in the browser. Maybe it's not possible.
[22:22] <Cyberkilla> michaelxq: Looks like a lot of people are having that problem. I've never came across it myself, but only before I've never tried the youtube plug-in.
[22:23] <Cyberkilla> michaelxq: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-96021.html
[22:23] <michaelxq> Cyberkilla, do you know any player that plays wma format?
[22:24] <sjm> lidbjork, you might try something like: convmv
[22:24] <Cyberkilla> michaelxq: Further down the page, it tells you to install some packages you're missing. Perhaps that will resolve the issue for you too.
[22:24] <gm1959> can anyone tell me what causes NetworkManager to think that dhclient needs to start?  I have the network/interfaces file in place and its right... but something's starting dhclient
[22:24] <michaelxq> Cyberkilla, thank you in advance!
[22:24] <Cyberkilla> michaelxq: WMA files play fine in Totem for me, but NOT WMA Lossless :( The odds are you don't have WMA lossless files though.
[22:24] <ckdoty01> sorry to ask but the chmod for files only what do i cahnge to only do the folders?
[22:25] <ZykoticK9> _Neytiri_, "sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX#" where X and # are the drive and partition you want respectively
[22:25] <_Neytiri_> ty
[22:26] <bobbyyu> Guys, I just tried 10.04 and when I try to install something off the DVD, like OpenJDK, I get an error message saying that it can't install all of its files even when it says it doesn't need to go online to install the files ("0 files online").
[22:27] <bobbyyu> THen I went to "Software Sources" and attempted to add a CD source (ie. the Ubuntu DVD) and it doens't succeed; it can't fetch some files.
[22:28] <ZykoticK9> bobbyyu, besides Language pack i don't think the DVD contains many more packages vs the regular CD... i always just use the internet and uncheck cd/dvds - hopefully you'll have better luck.  You also may be interested in apton-cd or similar.  Best of luck
[22:28] <bobbyyu> What's "apton-cd"?
[22:28] <ZykoticK9> bobbyyu, that's not quite the correct name
[22:29] <bobbyyu> Sorry.
[22:29] <ZykoticK9> !aptoncd
[22:29] <bobbyyu> Thank you, I guess.
[22:30] <hiku> ckdoty01: you would also use chmod to change permissions on folders
[22:30] <ZykoticK9> bobbyyu, i didn't really help with your origional problem ;) sorry i have no idea
[22:30] <hiku> ckdoty01: or chown to change user/group ownership
[22:30] <bobbyyu> Well, you tried.
[22:30] <ckdoty01> I am guessing the -f of the find command is for files.  what would i use for folders
[22:30] <ZykoticK9> bobbyyu, can you just use the internet instead of the dvd?
[22:31] <hiku> ckdoty01:  man find
[22:31] <bobbyyu> Well, I could , but I would like it all on CD, because I have a bad connection.
[22:31] <ckdoty01> that was my next place.  thanks though
[22:31] <bobbyyu> It caps too. :(
[22:31] <bobbyyu> And I just like the idea of having something on my fingertips.
[22:32] <hiku> ckdoty01: should be: find /yourpath -t d -name -ls
[22:32] <bobbyyu> OK. I"ll go elsewhere. Thanks in advance.
[22:32] <ckdoty01> dang you .  I was just about to find that on my own  :)  honestly though thank you.
[22:32] <hiku> ckdoty01: lol sorry bro.
[22:33] <ckdoty01> oh dont worry.  I was joking.  I really apriciate it
[22:33] <hiku> ckdoty01: your welcome!
[22:34] <hiku> ckdoty01: also, this site has some great examples of how to use find. http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/unix/findcmd.htm
[22:34] <ckdoty01> oh nice.
[22:37] <Mahjongg> hello, which application reports the system information upon loggin in the termianl?
[22:37] <lidbjork> sjm: Thanks, I've installed convmv now. I guess I'll just copy the files and try to convert their encoding. Maybe I'll have to convert them before I copy.
[22:37] <hiku> Mahjongg: like cpu load uptime etc etc.? hit w <enter>
[22:39] <Mahjongg> hiku, thanks but I guess I was asking about lansdscape-common
[22:39] <hiku> Mahjongg: oh ok
[22:40] <rek> hi how can i mount my drives in kubuntu?
[22:40] <rek> with a gui
[22:40] <switchgirl> connect them
[22:40] <switchgirl> they auto mount
[22:40] <rek> i don't see them
[22:40] <rek> where
[22:40] <rek> hard drives
[22:40] <switchgirl> lsusb
[22:41] <rek> no o hdd
[22:41] <switchgirl> ls usb
[22:41] <switchgirl> lspci
[22:41] <rek> no
[22:41] <switchgirl> they may be there
[22:41] <rek> no
[22:41] <rek> they should be in media
[22:42] <digitalfiz> i think compiz crashed is there a way to restart it without restarting ubuntu
[22:42] <VCoolio> digitalfiz: try 'compiz --replace'
[22:43] <soreau> digitalfiz: sys>prefs>appearance>visual effects
[22:43] <digitalfiz> VCoolio, that worked
[22:43] <digitalfiz> ty
[22:43] <Monotoko> can i go ahead and make a page on the wiki for my installfest?
[22:43] <Monotoko> .....wrong ubuntu chat
[22:43] <digitalfiz> VCoolio, do you know where i would look to see why it crashed
[22:44] <gm1959> can anyone please tell me what the ubuntu version of 'if-up eth0' might be?  I can't find the right stuff in the docs to help me.
[22:44] <EvilPhoenix> i've got software I need to install that requires glibc 2.8 or higher, XFree86-4.7 or higher, and libstdc++5.  how can i get those softwares?
[22:44] <VCoolio> digitalfiz: some log, /var/log/something, maybe xorg.log, don't know if compiz keeps its own
[22:45] <soreau> digitalfiz: If you had crash handler plugin enabled (provided by compiz-fusion-plugins-extra), the default is to store the bt in /tmp
[22:46] <mshadle> after installing drbd and not really anything else, i tried rebooting, and i get this: udevd-work: error opening ATTR{/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000 some other stuff/net/eth1/dev_id} for writing: permission denied
[22:46] <mshadle> any ideas on how to resolve that?
[22:47] <EvilPhoenix> i've got software I need to install that requires glibc 2.8 or higher, XFree86-4.7 or higher, and libstdc++5.  how can i get those prereqs, as glibc 2.8 isnt in the repos (or is it)?
[22:47] <Muelli> mshadle: hm. not really, but you might check whether you have some crufty stuff in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[22:47] <mshadle> none of that should have changed :/
[22:48] <mshadle> can i disable udevd from running? or remove the file and let it rebuild it?
[22:48] <lidbjork> Is there a way to check in which encoding a file's name is? (E.g. utf-8)
[22:48] <Muelli> EvilPhoenix: glibc will be there. you should have everything you need. Just go ahead and compile
[22:48] <mshadle> it does it for eth1 and eth0
[22:48] <Muelli> lidbjork: well. that's a science of it's own. "file" can give it a try. But generally speaking: no.
[22:48] <mshadle> yeh file usually tells me if a file is unicode or utf8 ascii
[22:48] <EvilPhoenix> Muelli:  it needs that specific version of libstdc++5...  is that in the repos and comes preinstalled?  It isnt a .deb that installs, its a .bin
[22:48] <Muelli> lidbjork: of course it works if the file tells you, i.e. a proper XML document.
[22:48] <EvilPhoenix> and yes the software is trusted
[22:49] <Muelli> EvilPhoenix: just go ahead and compile. Come back when you run into issues.
[22:50] <lidbjork> Muelli: I'm actually talking about the file name itself, not the file's contents.
[22:50] <Muelli> lidbjork: even worse. You can only try to decode and guess whether it makes sense.
[22:51] <Muelli> lidbjork: filenames are not restricted to any encoding and can thus be arbitrary bytes. Nothing saves which enconding a filename is supposed to be. You can only hope that everbody uses utf-8.
[22:51] <ginbuntu> how do I use a blank password for sudo?
[22:51] <jrib> ginbuntu: why?
[22:51] <Muelli> ginbuntu: you don't. You put yourself in to /etc/sudoers with NOPASSWD.
[22:52] <lidbjork> Muelli: Ok. I have some files on a Slackware 12.2 ext2 system, and when I mount it on ubuntu, some characters are broken. What I need to now to encode to utf-8 is what encoding is used on the Slack system.
[22:53] <EvilPhoenix> bleh the software was built around debian 4...
[22:53] <ginbuntu> jrib, cause I hate typing in my password every day
[22:53] <EvilPhoenix> Muelli:  where should I install it to (what path)?
[22:53] <EvilPhoenix> Muelli:  default is some /opt/ path
[22:53] <jrib> ginbuntu: « man sudoers »  then, look for the option Muelli spoke of
[22:53] <Muelli> EvilPhoenix: install what? self compiled software? Put it in /opt/$USERNAME or so..
[22:53] <EvilPhoenix> Muelli:  commercial software :/
[22:54] <Muelli> lidbjork: *shrug* I'd write a python script that tries to decode a filename in multiple ways
[22:54] <EvilPhoenix> does it need root to write to there, though?
[22:54] <Triela> hello
[22:54] <Muelli> EvilPhoenix: If I were you, I'd create /opt/$USERNAME with root, then chown it to your user. Then you don't need priviledges to write to it.
[22:54] <Triela> I got a dell inspirion and ubuntu can't detect the wireless network
[22:54] <Triela> wired network works fine
[22:55] <Triela> I'm using ubuntu 10.0.4 LT
[22:55] <jrib> Triela: checked System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers?
[22:55] <Muelli> Triela: yeah, I think they use the broadcom chipset. You need to isntall a driver. bc43 or so.
[22:55] <Muelli> or bcd43
[22:56] <Triela> ah, kindly point to a guide where I can install it?
[22:56] <jrib> Triela: did you check what I said?
[22:56] <lidbjork> Muell: Ok, thanks for the help, I gotta disconnect to try to mount that crap again.
[22:56] <Triela> jrib: doing it now
[22:56] <_Neytiri_> how do i take 3 identical drives and make a software raid out of them and mount them
[22:57] <fdlinux> hi
[22:57] <Triela> jrib: okay for my wired it's boardcom b43, and for my wireless it's boardcom sta wireless
[22:57] <Triela> jrib: so I guess I have to install boardcome sta wireless driver?
[22:57] <DrGrov> Good evening. Have a problem with the new kernel it seems on 10.04. I have lost my sound upon reboot and the possiblity to shutdown properly from the login screen and also from the desktop I can not shutdown. Restart does not work. My sound card does not work at all. Sometimes when I boot up it works out but 9/10 times it keeps acting up like I described. Can someone give me some help on how to fix this issue?
[22:58] <hiku> Triela: try the b4-cutter, imho they work better
[22:58] <Coronade> :D
[22:58] <Triela> hiku: okay how would I do that? :)
[22:59] <fdlinux> hi
[22:59] <hiku> Triela: open System>Administration>Hardware Drivers app
[22:59] <fdlinux> can i get help for lirc here?
[22:59] <hiku> Triela: it should be listed there if ubuntu can detect it and has support for it
[22:59] <Triela> hiku: yes, done
[22:59] <Triela> hiku: ah
[22:59] <jrib> Triela: yes, just install the sta driver...
[22:59] <batfog> NO HOMELAND WITHOUT YOU FUHRER LOREZ!    I appreciate it
[23:00] <AlHafoudh> kick him
[23:00] <Craig`> (also to those i was talking to before i managed to get xp/ubu dual booting working)
[23:00] <metoikos> ho
[23:00] <Triela> hiku:  thank you too, much appreciated it
[23:00] <rek> ?
[23:00] <Kasjopaja> wtf
[23:00] <hiku> Triela: your welcome
[23:00] <DrGrov> So nobody knows how to help me on that issue?
[23:00] <seidos> Craig`, have you tried lspci?
[23:00] <clayd> how do i see what users are in the apache users group?
[23:00] <Triela> hiku: do I need to reboot the system for the drivers to work?
[23:00] <jrib> !helpme | DrGrov
[23:01] <seidos> Craig`, better yet, lspci | grep Ethernet
[23:01] <hiku> clayd: type less /etc/groups
[23:01] <TELL0> hello. I have a problem with plymouth
[23:01] <Craig`> thanks.
[23:02] <seidos> DrGrov, you should be able to select a different kernel from the grub menu?
[23:02] <Monotoko> someone typed my name? o.o
[23:02] <TELL0> I tried to install a new one (plymouth) and when running this command I got "Permissions denied" on every line and now my plymouth is garbage and cannot fix it... any help?
[23:02] <DrGrov> seidos: No I can not select. It will automatically reboot with the one it has. I have just followed Update Manager on the suggestions.
[23:02] <clayd> sorry about that.  how do i see what users are in the apache users group.
[23:03] <snow_usa> what ?
[23:03] <snow_usa> who called me?
[23:03] <rww> snow_usa: probably the spam we've been getting
[23:03] <TELL0> was a spam
[23:04] <seidos> DrGrov, there must be a way to select an older kernel in grub2.  i'm just not sure of the method.  if you give me a second, i can try in a vm.
[23:04] <jrib> clayd: what do you mean by "apache users group"?
