[00:00] <Scottybuk> hey. anyone know how i can set a certain anout of ram to a user
[00:00] <Scottybuk> restrict them from going over 300mb?
[00:00] <kostkon> Dasda, hmm, like this?:  iexplore http://www.google.com/
[00:00] <Dasda> how do i remove this wine before i install new one or will it do it automatically?
[00:00] <Dasda> kostkon: yes
[00:01] <BottomBitch> how do I find what version of OpenSuse i'm on? (not using umane -a)
[00:01] <ikus060> Hi, I'm looking for someone familiar with xindy. Is there any ?? Xindy is part of LaTeX
[00:01] <kostkon> Dasda, did it open a browser window?
[00:01] <mess> o.o
[00:01] <kernel_script> squircle, thanks for answer. I see, it might be, since Ubuntu risk more for more faster innovation, more bugs, but more fast innovation and improvement. I'm judging mac os x take longer to release a new version, so it probalby more stable, like a Debian or so.
[00:01] <minimec> Dasda: If you choose the wine 1.2 package for install in synaptic, it will uninstall 1.0...
[00:01] <Dasda> minimec: thanks doing it now
[00:01] <Dasda> kostkon: no it said command not found in terminal
[00:01] <^workman^> !sbackup
[00:02] <mess> Wow. This is like standing in a giant crowd of people... I've never seen an IRC server so busy.
[00:02] <squircle> kernel_script: well, Apple does update the unix utilities quite often, and OS X is rather linux/unix-like. what I suggest doing if you need any utils that are open source or linux-availble, install darwinports. i did, and i can run everything i could on ubuntu and more
[00:02] <kostkon> Dasda, hmm. then it's not working even though you have wine-gecko installed. yeah, try with wine1.2 and wine1.2-gecko
[00:02] <Scottybuk> hey. anyone know how i can set a certain anout of ram to a user. restrict them from using more than 300?
[00:02] <^workman^> mess: when your distro is on top of distrowatch.com.... your doing something right!
[00:03] <mess> apparently so, ^workman^
[00:03] <squircle> Scottybuk: try researching ulimit
[00:03] <Scottybuk> thanks squircle
[00:03] <squircle> :)
[00:04] <Dasda> kostkon: just finished getting wine1.2 will give it a try now
[00:04] <kostkon> Dasda, and wine1.2-gecko?
[00:04] <kernel_script> squircle, oh thanks for the tip. That looks great : )
[00:05] <squircle> kernel_script: it's as simple as sudo port install ________ instead of sudo aptitude install _____
[00:05] <Dasda> kostkon: yes, it chose that automatically once i chose wine1.2
[00:05] <kostkon> Dasda, ok
[00:05] <darkipod> what can I use to access .axx file in Karmic .axx file are encrypted file made with AxCrypt
[00:06] <timClicks> can anyone think of a reason why my internet browser doesn't seem to want to open pages, but other applications are fine accessing the internet?
[00:06] <kaski> I have a very slow Internet connection in Ubuntu compared to Windows. Any suggestions?
[00:06] <^workman^> darkipod: Does AxCrypt run on Linux/Mac?
[00:06] <^workman^> No, not directly it does not. However, some users have been successful in running AxCrypt under Wine, the Windows emulator.
[00:07] <squircle> ^workman^: i was about to say the same thing; yay, google.
[00:07] <darkipod> no windows only
[00:07] <squircle> darkipod: WINE
[00:07] <kernel_script> squircle, i see. Mac os x looks fun to play with too, Unix based right? I think i'll probalby feel home hehe, how's the file system? There is a root / and main directories like usr var etc too?
[00:07] <darkipod> dude said maybe wine can run it but I have no clue how to use wine
[00:07] <Leoneof`> anyone can help me about network-manager? >_>
[00:07] <timClicks> kernel_script: OS X is based on FreeBSD (I think)
[00:07] <Dasda> kastkon: done getting 1.2 but that commang still not working
[00:07] <squircle> kernel_script: i'll give you an overview in detail via privmsg
[00:08] <kernel_script> timClicks, i see, i read something about that
[00:08] <btimby> Does anybody know how to set up network-manager to connect only the first interface that works? wired or wifi? right now it is bringing up both when I boot up. I would like wired only unless eth0 is unavailable and only then bring up wifi (eth1).
[00:08] <Leoneof`> anyone can help me about network-manager? >_>
[00:08] <^workman^> darkipod: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine
[00:09] <kaski> I have a very slow Internet connection in Ubuntu compared to Windows. Any suggestionsÉ
[00:09] <timClicks> kaski: this is odd. how are you connected to the net?
[00:10] <kaski> timClicks: I'm neither a linux or internet expert, but its a wired connection
[00:10] <timClicks> btimby: you want to look for NetworkManager
[00:10] <timClicks> btimby: in google
[00:10] <timClicks> btimby: that capitalisation is important
[00:10] <giovanni> DCC LIST
[00:10] <Dasda> squircel and kostkon, i have same problem with the ebook with wine 1.2
[00:11] <kostkon> Dasda, :/
[00:11] <minimec> kaski: That is strange. wired connections shouldn't be a problem...
[00:11] <timClicks> btimby: you can make a cheap workaround by setting them to manually connect if you want, but i'm not sure about scripting the app
[00:11] <Nim_> Hi I dont know if anyone can help me or not but Im having some keyboard and sound issues.. it seems some of the keys of my keyboard are being displayed incorrectly ie: the question mark is appearing as É. my other problem is that my headset isnt working, i can hear sound coming from the monitor and the headset when i have it plugged into the jack, and the microphone doesnt work at all. i cant find solutions anywhere. could it be a hardwa
[00:11] <Nim_> re compatibility issueÉ Ive tried two different headsets & keyboards.. same results
[00:11] <^workman^> kaski: what is running slow?
[00:11] <Leoneof`> when i turn OFF button for wlan0(internal)...the wlan1(external) will stop and will be off too, if wlan0 is ON...wlan1 will start , what the hell?!
[00:11] <kostkon> Dasda, you could try to install the real ie, using ies4linux
[00:11] <kaski> minimec: i have no idea either, it auto-configured the internet for me
[00:11] <Dasda> kostkon: that command to open google.com doesnt work either
[00:11] <timClicks> Nim_: which font are you using?
[00:11] <kaski> ^workman^: well for one, google takes 15 seconds to load in firefox and epiphany
[00:11] <kostkon> !ies4linux
[00:12] <kostkon> !test
[00:12] <Nim_> im sorryÉ
[00:12] <timClicks> Nim_: can you go to Applications > Accessories > Character Map
[00:12] <kaski> ^workman^: although, downloading updates and being in IRC isnt bad
[00:12] <Nim_> i am there
[00:12] <minimec> kaski: Did you change the router recently or is it the first time you run linux behind this router?
[00:12] <kostkon> Dasda, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ies4linux
[00:13] <kaski> minimec: i just recently reinstalled ubuntu, ive had previous versions with the same problem (9.04)
[00:13] <kaski> same router
[00:13] <Dasda> !ies4linux
[00:14] <minimec> kaski: Hmmm... Try to set MTU to 1492 for your connection, like sudo ifconfig etho MTU 1492
[00:14] <Dasda> kostkon: i've found the ebook viewer it uses to open the book. its called ebook pro available at www.ebookpro.com
[00:14] <kaski> sure ill try it
[00:14] <kostkon> Dasda, lets see
[00:14] <SlimG> Anyone know of a modern mail client that actually supports ordinary features like IMAP-Idle and mapping of IMAP folders like "Trash", "Sent" etc. ? Evolution don't
[00:14] <minimec> kaski: eth0 ;)
[00:14] <squircle> SlimG: Thunderbird
[00:15] <^workman^> slimg: thunderbird baby
[00:15] <Leoneof`> when i turn OFF button for wlan0(internal)...the wlan1(external) will stop and will be off too, if wlan0 is ON...wlan1 will start , what the hell?!
[00:15] <kaski> that didnt seem to make a difference
[00:15] <liyingqiao> how long can try win7 in virtualbox?
[00:15] <kaski> minimec: hold on, it seems to have helped
[00:16] <Nim_> timClicks it says I am using sans I think at least that is what is selected
[00:16] <kostkon> Dasda, not much info on that page :/
[00:16] <SlimG> squircle & ^workman^ : And there's no other alternatives?
[00:16] <liyingqiao> can i try it by many times?
[00:16] <Scottybuk> this might sound stupid but how the hell do i get ulimit?
[00:16] <squircle> SlimG: i've never bothered to look; i just love thunderbird
[00:16] <squircle> Scottybuk: just head over to Synaptic and search for it
[00:16] <kaski> minimec: it is better but it still feels slower than windows
[00:16] <^workman^> SlimG: dido what squircle said
[00:17] <Dasda> kostkon i can dcc you the ebook if  u want. it is 1.8megabytes. just to see if it my ubuntu setup or ubuntu as whole
[00:17] <kostkon> Dasda, i don;t think it's necessary
[00:17] <^workman^> SlimG: check out http://email.about.com/od/linuxemailclients/tp/Linux-UNIX-Email-Clients-fo---.htm at the top of the list is... you guessed it "Thunderbird" woot!
[00:18] <kostkon> Dasda, i mean, it just doesn't work with wine. try installing ie if you want
[00:18] <kaski> minimec: yup its definitely faster now
[00:18] <minimec> kaski: Check the configuration of your router. That is rather a router configuration problem, then a linux problem... The hardware seems to be recognized and working...
[00:19] <Leoneof`> hey nytek_
[00:19] <nytek_> Leoneof`: yo
[00:19] <kaski> minimec: okay thanks for your help anyway, at least its bearable now
[00:19] <Leoneof`> nytek_: remember my question? any solution ? :/
[00:19] <minimec> kaski: The problem is now, that the next time you boot it will be set on 1500 again... :( As I mentioned, check the router configuration
[00:19] <SlimG> ^workman^: Thanks, I'll check out Sylpheed and Balsa
[00:19] <kaski> minimec: why is that so?
[00:19] <nytek_> Leoneof`: refresh me?
[00:20] <Dasda> kostkon: yea trying to figure out how to install ie. I would be happy if i could extract the exe file too cause there is probably html files inside if it uses ie
[00:20] <Leoneof`> nytek_: it is about gnome-network-manager... when i turn OFF button for wlan0(internal)...the wlan1(external) will stop and will be off too, if wlan0 is ON...wlan1 will start :/
[00:20] <kostkon> Dasda, ok. check the page i gave you: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ies4linux
[00:20] <Squideshi> What is the purpose of the Ubuntu Start Page in Firefox?
[00:20] <nytek_> Dasda: why do you want ie? :/
[00:21] <nytek_> Squideshi: to promote ubuntu?
[00:21] <Squideshi> nytek_: To those already using Ubuntu? :)
[00:21] <giovanni> dcc get
[00:21] <^workman^> Squideshi: just incase you forget what distro you are using
[00:21] <minimec> kaski: Because 1500 is default setting. Your router is configured for 1492. Change that on the router...
[00:21] <Dasda> kostkon yea following that page but the website for ie4linux is getting blocked for some reason
[00:22] <kaski> minimec: so i should go into the router settings using firefox?
[00:22] <kostkon> Dasda, hmm
[00:22] <nytek_> Squideshi: well, the start page just gives you more information about ubuntu. community, forums, guides, updates..
[00:22] <nytek_> Leoneof`: that sounds like a configuration issue
[00:22] <Dasda> kostkon: that page tells me to google ies4linux
[00:22] <Squideshi> ^workman^: Doesn't System > About Ubuntu take care of that?
[00:23] <nytek_> Leoneof`: its got me stumped, but what are you essentially trying to do?
[00:23] <^workman^> Squideshi: yes, but quick links on the startpage are nice for people new to linux and ubuntu
[00:23] <kostkon> Dasda, yeah
[00:23] <Balsaq> mt friend wants me to do a re-install for him, he gummed his computer up real good with a virus and probably tons of spyware. when he turns his computer on all he get is a big message about a virus. his computer is smoked at this point. i told him to ditch windows and go for ubuntu. i am hoping ubuntu will wipe thie HD clean and rid him of the virus. i have done several ubuntu/xubuntu/linux distro installs for myself, but hav
[00:23] <Balsaq> e no experience with virus'. can the virus stop me from installing ubuntu?
[00:23] <ssmit> Is there a resource anyone can point me to on how to set up a Ubuntu "home media server"?
[00:23] <Squideshi> ^workman^: You would think there would be links on the desktop for that.
[00:23] <^workman^> Squideshi: Most of the time, people won't use the help button... =)
[00:24] <Dasda> kostkon, figured a way around getting ies4linux now
[00:24] <minimec> kaski: I would do so. Your router blocks the communication ports of the tcp protocolthat checks and handles the data parts (the missing 8 bits)
[00:24] <Dasda> kostkon: any way to extract the exe?
[00:24] <^workman^> Squideshi: Hmm, you could submit a feature request to the ubuntu folks. See what they have to say... =)
[00:24] <eni23> hello. does someone knows how i can change the resolution of my secound screen (nvidia twinview) in cli?
[00:24] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, how to refresh the audio output?
[00:25] <Leoneof`> nytek_: i've laptop with internal wlan0, it is useless because i want to connect network very far, so i use external antenna to usb wlan1
[00:25] <^workman^> Squideshi: for me, linux is linux.... I've been using it way to long to really notice all of the little bits of branding.. I just setup my systems how I need them and i'm off and running =)
[00:26] <itilious> is there a standalone flash player for ubuntu?
[00:26] <kostkon> Dasda, er, no. you said you have already tried to extract it with cabextract and on windows, i assume
[00:26] <Squideshi> ^workman^: I thought I would discuss a little before submitting any sort of official request. I like to give the opportunity for others to present a good argument for why things are the way they are.
[00:26] <nytek_> Leoneof`: ok, well you're going to have to use terminal to connect to that "very" far network
[00:26] <kostkon> Dasda, so, i don;t really know any other way you could try
[00:27] <ChogyDan> itilious: never heard of that, why do you want that?
[00:27] <Dasda> kostkon: yes cabextract doesnt work. i havent tried to extract on windows cause it was working fine on it
[00:27] <Nim_> i dont really know where else to look, is there anyone who can help me or point me in the right directionÉ
[00:27] <Stargazer> ^workman^, how do i know if sbackup is done ?
[00:27] <kostkon> Dasda, :/
[00:27] <Balsaq> can i take a virus infected windows computer and install ubuntu and rid the computer of the virus and install ubuntu at the same time?
[00:27] <nytek_> Nim_: can you repost the problem, i didnt see it
[00:27] <jrib> !helpme | Nim_
[00:28] <Nim_> Hi I dont know if anyone can help me or not but Im having some keyboard and sound issues.. it seems some of the keys of my keyboard are being displayed incorrectly ie: the question mark is appearing as É. my other problem is that my headset isnt working, i can hear sound coming from the monitor and the headset when i have it plugged into the jack, and the microphone doesnt work at all. i cant find solutions anywhere. could it be a hardwa
[00:28] <Nim_> re compatibility issueÉ
[00:28] <LordQuackstar> I've got an interesting issue: My built in sound was working a few days ago on my old computer but now its not. The sound app shows dummy output, but cat /proc/asound/devices shows a bunch of items
[00:28] <Leoneof`> nytek_: plus... the program wicd is work fine, but i'd like to use gnmoe-network-manager, i hope this will be fixed next version :|
[00:28] <nytek_> Nim_: what?
[00:28] <jrib> Nim_: system -> preferences -> keyboard  ensure your keyboard layout is correct
[00:28] <itilious> ChogyDan, found swfdec flash player would that work to play standalone interactive swf files?
[00:28] <DisguisedAngel> I need to create a launcher on the desktop that launches a file in this manner: "./pystromo-remap.py -m default.map" I can't figure out how to write the command line entry in the launcher to point to the correct folder which is /home/angel/.config/pystromo. Can someone please tell me the correct way to write this command in the launcher?
[00:28] <LordQuackstar> How can i make the sound app see my built in sound?
[00:28] <Nim_> ive tried mfiddling with those settings but it seems nothing helps
[00:29] <nytek_> Leoneof`: what is the benefit of using gnome network manager over wicd?
[00:29] <jrib> DisguisedAngel: why would you want to run "./whatever.py"? just give the full path
[00:29] <Nim_> right now im using the razer lycosa.. i thought it might be a compatibility issue so i tried my compaq keyboard but that had the same result..
[00:29] <ChogyDan> itilious: mmm, probably not.  I think that is an opensource thing, not the adobe flash.  Can't you open it in firefox?
[00:29] <itilious> nope, and yes swfdec did play the file
[00:30] <itilious> its an interactive pretest for some study material ;)
[00:30] <nytek_> Nim_: it has to be your keyboard layout, follow what jrib said.
[00:30] <Nim_> ok i will try that
[00:30] <minimec> LordQuackstar: 1.) sudo apt-get install pavucontrol 2.) open pavucontrol and play around ;)
[00:30] <DisguisedAngel> jrib, I don't understand your question... I try putting in the path and then the file name, here like this "/home/angel/.config/pystromo/./pystromo-remap.py -m default.map" and it doesnt' work. I don't know how to write the command in the launcher correctly.
[00:30] <ChogyDan> very good then!
[00:30] <Leoneof`> nytek_: gnome-network-manager can use both wlan0, and wlan1... but wicd is for one wlan
[00:30] <LordQuackstar> minimec: I will try that
[00:31] <jrib> DisguisedAngel: do you understand what "./" is for in "./pystromo-remap.py"?
[00:31] <nytek_> Leoneof`: didnt you juse say they were both working via wicd?
[00:31] <ChogyDan> Leoneof`: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[00:31] <Dasda> anyone else have trouble viewing ebooks in ubuntu?
[00:31] <DisguisedAngel> jrib, I think I do, but I am new to linux. I thought it just runs the pystromo-remap.py script/program.
[00:31] <jrib> Dasda: no
[00:31] <eni23> does someone knows how i can change the resolution of my secound screen (nvidia twinview) in command line?
[00:31] <Leoneof`> nytek_: sometimes i want to disconnect wlan0 ,
[00:32] <Squideshi> Dasda: In what format and with what application?
[00:32] <Leoneof`> ChogyDan: 9.10
[00:32] <nytek_> ah i see
[00:32] <nytek_> Leoneof`: ahh i see
[00:32] <Dasda> Squideshi: exe and with ebookpro
[00:32] <giovanni> dcc
[00:32] <giovanni> \dcc
[00:32] <giovanni> \dcc help
[00:33] <giovanni> \dcc help
[00:33] <jrib> DisguisedAngel: . is your current directory.  The current directory isn't in the default PATH so if you want to execute a file in your current directory, you need to provide the path.  So for example, say you want to run /a/b.py: You could, if you are *anywhere*, just run /a/b.py.  Or if you were in /a, you could run ./b.py.  Or if you were in / you could just run a/b.py
[00:33] <jrib> DisguisedAngel: so that tells you you don't need the '.' in the first part of your command.  The second thing you need to take care of is this "default.map".  I assume that's a file somewhere.
[00:34] <Squideshi> Dasda: The ebook is in EXE format?
[00:34] <LordQuackstar> minimec: Pulseaudio tries to use dummy output as well...
[00:34] <Dasda> Squideshi: yes, thats why i wouldnt mind it if i could even get the exe to unpack but cant even do that
[00:35] <Nim_> i am afraid im having no luck with either keyboard.. the razer lycosa i can understand not working but the other i just dont get. my layout is set correctly..
[00:35] <DisguisedAngel> jrib, ah, I understand. That clears up a lot. So the command should look like this "/home/angel/.config/pystromo/pystromo-remap.py -m /home/angel/.config/pystromo/default.map"
[00:35] <giovanni> !list
[00:35] <sdwrage> Hey, in KDE, how do I localize a widget to one particular desktop?
[00:35] <jrib> DisguisedAngel: yes, that should work unless the script requires something from your environment
[00:35] <minimec> LordQuackstar: check the settings there. That gives you a lot of possibilities. You should be able to send the sound of your software to every sound device you want.
[00:35] <sdwrage> I have a SOHO desktop widget I dont want on my first Desktop but want it on my second
[00:36] <LordQuackstar> minimec: Hardware Outputs devices shows nothing
[00:36] <Leoneof`> brb
[00:37] <DisguisedAngel> jrib, thanks alot for your help! That worked perfectly and explains a lot to me on how to create a launcher in the future.
[00:38] <jrib> DisguisedAngel: no problem.  By the way, if you want to do something complicated, it's usually easier to write a short bash script and then just have the launcher run that
[00:38] <minimec> LordQuackstar: That is bad. <alt>F2 gstreamter-properties ... and check the hardware there. Could be that your soundchip is not working properly.
[00:38] <sdwrage> is there any way to localize a plasma widget to 1 specific desktop??
[00:38] <LordQuackstar> minimec: One sec, i'm doing another restart just to make sure that program installed properley
[00:38] <Squideshi> Dasda: EXE files are usually for Microsoft operating systems. Where did you get the file?
[00:39] <Nim_> jrib.. i have tried fiddling with the keyboard layout settings.. nothing has changed.. I think I am doomed forever lol..
[00:39] <Dasda> Squideshi: vgsports
[00:39] <jrib> Nim_: yep, don't know what else to suggest
[00:39] <Nim_> thank you though
[00:39] <Dasda> Squdeshi i can give u the link for download. it is only 1.8megs
[00:40] <Squideshi> Dasda: Don't give me the link for download. Give me the link for the webpage that has the link for download.
[00:42] <Dasda> Squideshi: i message it to you cause I was unsure if we are allowed to post links here
[00:43] <sdwrage> is there any way to localize a plasma widget to 1 specific desktop??
[00:45] <G_S_SR> Please Help, ive installed ubuntu karmic, and everything worked perfectly. i updated through "update manager" and after a restart, my cpu is being used constantly. it wasnt like that before the update. ive even reformated and reinstalled ubuntu thinking it was something i did, with the same results. any suggestions?
[00:46] <thriftwerk> i'm having the same problem G_S_SR, no one has responded to my question
[00:46] <boss_mc> G_S_SR: what process is using the CPU?
[00:46] <gcleric> G_S_SR: what process is using all the CPU...what does "top" say?
[00:47] <G_S_SR> thriftwerk:  really? are you certain it was the update?
[00:47] <minimec> G_S_SR: start ubuntu and press (and hold) the <shift>button at boot. Then choose an olde kernel (not recovery)
[00:47] <gcleric> boss_mc: jinks!
[00:47] <cant> Im getting some massive lag on my yahoo chess... I have high speed cable and ubuntu 9.10  is there anything I can do to speed up the connection
[00:47] <thriftwerk> G_S_SR, yeah.  but i'm not so luck as you.  my laptop runs at 100% CPU load even with visual effects turned off for 15 minutes and then it just shuts off completely.
[00:48] <boss_mc> G_S_SR: If it's apt-xapiian-indexer then that's a (fairly) one off job that apt uses to calculate its state
[00:48] <xover> what should an idle system load be with a few messenger services running?
[00:48] <G_S_SR> gcleric:  xorg and devkit-disks are at the top of the list
[00:48] <skyl> !grub
[00:48] <xover> regarding system load, if my cpu is running at 15%, why is my load .85
[00:48] <skyl> !grub2
[00:49] <G_S_SR> gcleric: but those 2 arent peaking out. theyre using a fairly small amount of cpui
[00:49] <td123> hi
[00:50] <greezmunkey> hello ppl :)
[00:50] <G_S_SR> minimec:  if chosing the old kernal works, should i manuallly update the kernal or set it to chose the old kernal at startup?
[00:50] <thriftwerk> bfr0v3rfl0w guten tag
[00:50] <bitfox> guys... whan i do the update to karmic there was a strange behavior from the system. Sometimes ubuntu give me fake crashes of applications
[00:50] <cant> I have high speed cable and ubuntu 9.10 and there is some massive lag on yahoo chess.. Is there anything I can do to speed up the connection
[00:51] <boss_mc> cant: can you choose a game server to connect to? if so pick one nearby....
[00:51] <greezmunkey> Anyone here have any idea what type of HDD format that old ATT unix used?
[00:51] <bitfox> had someone the same behavior?
[00:51] <cant> no.... not on yahoo chess.. It is whereever it is'
[00:51] <gcleric> G_S_SR: so your CPU is pegged but nothing is using it?
[00:51] <howdy`> hey people
[00:52] <gcleric> howdy`: howdy!
[00:52] <thriftwerk> howdy howdy`
[00:52] <cant> howdy I have high speed cable and ubuntu 9.10 and there is some massive lag on yahoo chess.. Is there anything I can do to speed up the connectio
[00:52] <G_S_SR> gcleric:  thats what it seems, it wont list whatever is using it
[00:52] <boss_mc> cant: anything else using your connection?
[00:52] <minimec> G_S_SR: You can set the default kernel in /etc/grub-something(?). That should do it. it seems to be a bug with your hardware. You could also try to file a bug, but to trace a kernel bug... ;)
[00:52] <thriftwerk> try a different browser cant
[00:52] <cant> nothing I know of    also using wpa security
[00:52] <cant> firefox
[00:52] <gcleric> G_S_SR: I'm with minimec ... roll back to the old kerenl.
[00:53] <G_S_SR> ok im gonna try a restart and choose the old kernal, just to narrow it down
[00:53] <thriftwerk> i didn't ask what kind of browser, i said to try a different one (e.g. opera)
[00:53] <bdfoster_iPhone_> he left lol
[00:53] <G_S_SR> thanks for the advise, if you dont see me again, it worked and you guys rule
[00:54] <jahnkeanater> is it possible to set grub up to boot into ubuntu if it is powered on by lan and windows by default
[00:54] <bdfoster_iPhone_> jahnkeanater:
[00:55] <thriftwerk> anyone care to englighten me as to what might be causing 100% CPU and fan usage on a new 9.10 installation with no apps running and no special effects only to result in a complete shut down after 15 min?
[00:55] <jahnkeanater> or say boot ubuntu depending on the system time
[00:55] <Squideshi> jahnkeanater: I would go to #grub and ask that question.
[00:55] <jahnkeanater> ok thanks
[00:55] <xnox> Hello! How to enable auto-login?
[00:55] <timClicks> is unmount in nautlius the same as "safely remove drive"?
[00:55] <boss_mc> thriftwerk: top not showing a mibehaving app?
[00:55] <bdfoster_iPhone_> what he said lol
[00:55] <G_S_SR> lol, im back
[00:55] <thriftwerk> nou, nothing boss_mc
[00:55] <thriftwerk> no
[00:56] <G_S_SR> tried the old kernal, and its still peaked
[00:56] <thriftwerk> it's a wubi install, might that be it?
[00:56] <Squideshi> xnox: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutoLogin
[00:56] <thriftwerk> no problems in my win partition
[00:56] <xnox> Squideshi: thanks
[00:56] <G_S_SR> thriftwerk:  i did a fresh install, it was the update
[00:56] <thriftwerk> i'm guessing its a hardware conflict boss_mc
[00:56] <G_S_SR> thriftwerk: if were talking bout the same thing
[00:57] <thriftwerk> nou, G_S_SR sorry
[00:57] <BottomBitch> !ping
[00:57] <Mike_lifeguard> How can I set cups to always start on boot? Currently I am just starting it always with 'sudo /etc/init.d/cups start' :\
[00:57] <thriftwerk> no is what i meant to say, geez i can't type
[00:58] <boss_mc> Mike_lifeguard: look in /etc/rc2.d/ for a script to launch it
[00:58] <doolittlework> hi there
[00:58] <doolittlework> can one setup a root password for ubutu?
[00:58] <boss_mc> Mike_lifeguard: should be called something like SXXcups (where XX is a number)
[00:58] <boss_mc> !root | doolittlework
[00:58] <doolittlework> !root
[00:58] <Mike_lifeguard> boss_mc: Yep, I see /etc/rc2.d/S50cups
[00:59] <minimec> doolittlework: 'sudo -i', then 'passwd' in a terminal
[00:59]  * howdy` worships the great and powerful dudo
[00:59] <boss_mc> Mike_lifeguard: what does 'runlevel' give you?
[00:59] <howdy`> um, sudo, lol
[00:59] <timClicks> doolittlework: basically, ubuntu makes it very hard for users to run their pc as root
[00:59] <kaski> Ubuntu installed some proprietary drivers for my graphics card but I still can't enable fancy desktop effects
[00:59] <boss_mc> doolittlework: for good reason (root = too powerful = bad)
[00:59] <woodyjlw> have a synaptics touchpad I need help with. dose anyone have a sec to give me some advice or help
[01:00] <howdy`> i know nothing about touchpad. sorry
[01:00] <Mike_lifeguard> boss_mc: 2
[01:00] <doolittlework> minimec: if i wanna use winscp to link to server to move some files, i dont have acces to move files says access denied, how does one remedy this?
[01:01] <Mike_lifeguard> boss_mc: The troubleshooter (God, ubuntu needs more of those!) says to do System>Administration>Services and look for cups there, but I don't have any such entry. (this is on karmic)
[01:01] <skyl> pointing grub2 at the linux-rt kernel howto?
[01:01] <minimec> woodyjlw: What ubuntu are you on? I never had problems with synaptics touchpads...
[01:01] <woodyjlw> running 9.04 and I just want to make the touch more sensitive
[01:01] <skyl> the first reboot after had the rt as an option but then 2nd reboot just boots direct to -generic without a menu
[01:01] <boss_mc> Mike_lifeguard: is /etc/rc2.d/S50cups pointing to /etc/init.d/cups?
[01:01] <skyl> woodyjlw, you can do it with the GUI under mouse iirc
[01:02] <Mike_lifeguard> boss_mc: yes
[01:02] <skyl> woodyjlw, System>Preference>Mouse
[01:02] <Mike_lifeguard> huh, my cups printer disappeared just now O__o
[01:02] <minimec> woodyjlw: Try to use the mouse-tool in the preferences menu in the system menu.
[01:02] <boss_mc> Mike_lifeguard: have you looked in the system logs to see if it's just failing to start (because with that setup, it should start on boot)
[01:02] <chadbrochill> I have an issue with my ubuntu installaiton
[01:03] <RPG_Master> Anyone mind helping my buddy with his aptitude problems? http://paste.ubuntu.com/332738/
[01:03] <boss_mc> Mike_lifeguard: or tired using 'sudo service cups start' to start it (I think that's better than /etc/init.d/cups in karmic)
[01:04] <Mike_lifeguard> boss_mc: the init script seemed to work, but I'll check the logs now as the network printer disappeared :(
[01:04] <minimec> doolittlework: That is a network config (access rights) question. As I never worked with winscp (had to google it), I don't have an answer to you ;)
[01:04] <RPG_Master> anyone?
[01:05] <MatsW> Hi, I am trying to get another hdd running but the system stopes at "Boot from (hd0,0)ext 3 Starting up... , the other hdd is sata2 drive, formated with ext 3 - How do I do this?
[01:05] <RPG_Master> He can't install anything until this is resolved
[01:05] <woodyjlw> I have tried to use system > preference>mouse but nothing for increasing the sensitivity of the touching or tapping....I some times have to tap several times to get it to do something when it never did this on older ubuntu oh and I notice it was better on 9.10 but I cant get 9.10 to work with acpi stuff on this laptop
[01:05] <bdfoster_iPhone> chadbrochill: whats the problem?
[01:06] <thedoble> RPG_Master: looks like it might be a dns issue?
[01:06] <skyl> sudo update-grub; sudo update-grub2
[01:06] <boss_mc> RPG_Master: thedoble: it's not DNS, that IP address is correct
[01:06] <boss_mc> can he ping that address?
[01:06] <MatsW> skyl: was that ment for me?
[01:06] <minimec> woodyjlw: ok. there are two software tools... gsynaptics and qsynaptics I think. You could try these. Another way would be to configure it manually in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf (thre is none in 'karmic')...
[01:07] <RPG_Master> Could he just stop installing the MS-core-fonts package?
[01:07] <skyl> that was in answering my own question
[01:07] <mrpinky> hi :D i saw that xmame doesn't appear to have a -dev package. where can i get the source?
[01:07] <kaski> Someone said you could have both Kubuntu and Ubuntu, and you could choose between them when booting, can anyone tell me how to do this? (I have Ubuntu)
[01:07] <boss_mc> RPG_Master: he could do 'sudo dpkg --remove ttf-mscorefont-installer'
[01:07] <RPG_Master> boss_mc: Thanks
[01:07] <skyl> MatsW, but is somewhat pertinent, what release?
[01:07] <Mike_lifeguard> boss_mc: I don't see any errors in the cups logs, and the service seems to be running OK (here and on the server)
[01:08] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: Does CUPS appear in System->Preferences->Sessions->Startup Programs?
[01:08] <MatsW> skyl: 9.10 agree with that in thought but I am not sure
[01:08] <woodyjlw> I would really like to get 9.10 to work on my laptop really but after install I cant close lid and suspend and wake correctly
[01:08] <skyl> I don't know about this grub2 business ... yeah, you should try it .. you might be pointed at the wrong machine, maybe change the priority in the bios ..
[01:08] <MatsW> skyl: my main drive boots without issues - its when I connect this other drive it just doesnt boot up
[01:09] <MatsW> skyl: bios is configured with the right order
[01:09] <skyl> yeah, maybe that is taking of hd0
[01:09] <skyl> hrm
[01:09] <SirChris> anybody willing to give me some help on setting up a GUI from a command line install of 9.10
[01:09] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: I don't have a 'sessions' entry, but I do have 'Startup Programs' and it isn't in there, no.
[01:09] <skyl> !grub | MatsW
[01:09] <skyl> !grub2 | MatsW
[01:10] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: ATM, I'm more concerned that I can no longer find or print to the network printer at all. That's more important than whether it starts on boot or not
[01:10] <doolittlework> hoe do i giva a user access to do root cahnges?
[01:10] <boss_mc> SirChris: you could install ubuntu-desktop (installs ALL the defualt ubuntu desktop software)
[01:10] <huttsonn> Help! Having problem in installing mplayer. When I mark it for installation, there is a long list of libxxx packages to be installed. When I mark these for installations, I get msg about packages with unresolvable dependencies.
[01:10] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: OK. Are you using the GUI or CLI to configure CUPS?
[01:11] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: GUI for cups on my laptop, CLI for cups server on the server (well, there is the web interface too)
[01:11] <minimec> woodyjlw: There were a lot of changes with 'karmic' but reading your statement I guess you don't use a ATI card... ;) Suspend and hibernation is working on all my ATI cards...
[01:11] <boss_mc> mrpinky: 'apt-get source xmame' will get the actual source code, for just the headers I do not know
[01:11] <woodyjlw> I went into power setting with 9.10 and set the suspend up but it never wakes....and that is the only version of ubuntu that I have used that has that problem. I do have it on my desktop running really really good
[01:11] <SirChris> boss_mc: I just started using ubuntu and I would of just installed crunchbang for a cleaner install but I need to use 9.10 which crunchbang doesn't support yet because 9.10 is running flawlessly on my acer as1410
[01:11] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: Is the printer attached to the laptop or the server?
[01:12] <mark__> Any terminal harddrive benchmark software? I need to see what speed Im getting out of my server.
[01:12] <mrpinky> boss_mc, thanks!
[01:12] <boss_mc> SirChris: so you want the full ubuntu install?
[01:12] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: server
[01:12] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: Does the printer appear in CUPS on the server?
[01:12] <woodyjlw> I am using ati 200m graphics card
[01:13] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: Yes.
[01:13] <SirChris> boss_mc well I find gnome is running very laggish on a 1.2ghz processor and it comes with so much unnecessary software so I just wanted to set one up myself with only what I need
[01:13] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: You are sharing the printer via what protocol?
[01:13] <boss_mc> SirChris: fair enough, did you look at xubuntu (ubuntu with xfce in place of gnome)
[01:14] <boss_mc> SirChris: you can install xubuntu-desktop to get that if you like the look of it
[01:14] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: Dunno, whatever cups uses to do it
[01:14] <xover> can someone explain how to reduce cpu load?
[01:14] <minimec> mark__: you could use the console version of this http://phoronix-test-suite.com/
[01:14] <boss_mc> SirChris: Or, I found a page a while back for gettign a minimal GUI from server, I'll try to find it again...
[01:14] <SirChris> boss_mc I am really just trying to save myself the hassle of removing all the software
[01:14] <xover> this looks bad to me load average: 0.57, 0.44, 0.6
[01:15] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: The printer is connected to the server via parallel or USB?
[01:15] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: USB
[01:15] <mark__> minimec : thanks, will give it a try
[01:15] <SirChris> boss_mc: and gnome and xfce just use up so much more resources than some of the other window managers
[01:16] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: Are you running Ubuntu 9.10 on the server, and do you have access to it right now?
[01:16] <bokchoi> hi everyone. is possible to use xbox 360 controller as game controller in ubuntu ??
[01:16] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: Yes and yes
[01:16] <boss_mc> SirChris: install xserver-xorg and a window manager and a login manager?
[01:16] <Squideshi> Go into System > Administration > Printing on the server.
[01:16] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: Go into System > Administration > Printing on the server.
[01:17] <bdfoster_iPhone_> bokchoi: I use my ps3 controller, idk about xbox
[01:17] <SirChris> boss_mc: I practiced installing a command line system on qEmu but I ran into problems when trying to apt-get the window managers and run the x enviroment
[01:17] <woodyjlw> every since I left 8.04 and 8.10 my ati has not been the same but I know it is due to ati not ubuntu so I dont blame ubuntu  but I cant get my 200m ati to work corectly with 9.10
[01:17] <bokchoi> bdfoster_iPhone: i should try to plug in and to test?
[01:17] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: The server is CLI :\
[01:17] <GodfatherofEire> Whats the command to completely wipe a hard drive (if there is one, 'cause formatting hasnt worked)
[01:17] <AspireZ> arab support channel plz?
[01:18] <SirChris> boss_mc: gave me a harddrive error even though it said it was fine and just kept repeating, don't want that to happen on my computer you know
[01:18] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: Have you removed GNOME?
[01:18] <bdfoster_iPhone_> it won't hurt, but google is your friend. the ps3 controller didn't just work
[01:18] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: the server is a server, I didn't have to
[01:18] <bokchoi> bdfoster_iPhone: i understand. there will be much to configurate?
[01:18] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: I see. I thought Ubuntu Karmic always came with GNOME. Sorry about that.
[01:19] <GodfatherofEire> !arabic > AspireZ
[01:19] <boss_mc> SirChris: http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-to-setup-lighter-faster-minimal.html
[01:19] <BraveSaintStuart> so... this is probably going to take awhile
[01:19] <boss_mc> SirChris: somthing like that?
[01:19] <bdfoster_iPhone> bokchoi: depends on who develops that stuff
[01:19] <BraveSaintStuart> but... I'm having a hard time installing adobe flashplayer on my Firefox
[01:19] <GodfatherofEire> Guys, kinda need the command to wipe a hard drive
[01:20] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: no problem. I think (looking at the 'add printer' page of CUPS web interface) that the printer is now being recognized on a different USB port. I'll try removing the old one and re-adding it...
[01:20] <skyl> I added ``linux-rt``, I ran ``$ sudo update-grub`` and I see ``Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-9-rt`` but then I don't get a choice when I reboot.
[01:20] <woodyjlw> my touchpad works perfect in 9.10 but not so good in 9.04 ...lol can I take the good parts of 9.10 and the good parts of 9.04 and make a perfect UBUNYU OS ???  lol
[01:20] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: Sounds reasonable.
[01:20] <tomg555> Hi, is there a good way to get a good verticle panel working in gnome?
[01:20] <BraveSaintStuart> so if anyone can explain this to a computer illiterate idiot, that would be... helpful
[01:20] <SirChris> boss_mc: yeah I have been trying to get something like that setup and then I could customize it to look all nice like crunchbang myself, basically I want a 9.10 crunchbang but I read it wasn't working too well to try and update crunchbang from 9.04 to 9.10
[01:20] <kostkon> !flash | BraveSaintStuart
[01:21] <bokchoi> GodfatherofEire: Use dd.
[01:22] <kaski> My internet is way way slower in ubuntu than in windows, i have a wired connection. any suggestions?
[01:22] <SirChris> boss_mc: in 9.10 all my function keys are working, wifi has great strength and doesn't drop, webcam is working everything, 9.04 not so much
[01:22] <GodfatherofEire> bokchoi, that'll wipe all the data on the HD, kinda like DBaN? (Formatting isnt working)
[01:22] <BraveSaintStuart> thanks much
[01:22] <erUSUL> !info wipe
[01:22] <BraveSaintStuart> although I'm not sure about the commands for this
[01:22] <huttsonn> does mplayer work in ubuntu?
[01:22] <BraveSaintStuart> such as !Restricted
[01:23] <jrib> huttsonn: of course
[01:23] <BraveSaintStuart> what am I supposed to do with that
[01:23] <boss_mc> SirChris: or the slightly more official (and lower resource dependant) https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI
[01:23] <bokchoi> GodfatherofEire: i dont know what dban is, but assuming you just want to erase the contents and not have to worry about security then yes it will work. the command syntax is something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sd1 (or whatever your hd is)
[01:23] <bdfoster_iPhone> bokchoi: there are plenty of tutorials out there for this on google, should be no sweat.
[01:23] <tomg555> What's the best way to get a verticle panel to work right in gnome?
[01:23] <huttsonn> jrib: Help! Having problem in installing mplayer. When I mark it for installation, there is a long list of libxxx packages to be installed. When I mark these for installations, I get msg about packages with unresolvable dependencies.
[01:23] <bokchoi> bdfoster_iPhone: im googling it now, thx. just thought i'd ask right off the bat and see if anyone's done it and failed.
[01:23] <skyl> GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 , there she is ...
[01:23] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: yeah, that didn't help :\
[01:24] <tony_> vlc mite work too
[01:24] <GodfatherofEire> bokchoi, thanks
[01:24] <jrib> huttsonn: what version of ubuntu? have you installed any packages manually?  Have you enabled any unofficial repositories?
[01:24] <kaski> My internet is way way slower in ubuntu than in windows, i have a wired connection. any suggestions?
[01:24] <minimec> huttsonn: try to use the medibuntu repository. That could be a good start...
[01:24] <Mike_lifeguard> Squideshi: aha, now there are errors: E [01/Dec/2009:21:20:35 -0400] [cups-driverd] Bad driver information file "/usr/share/cups/drv/sample.drv"!
[01:24] <Squideshi> Mike_lifeguard: Well, I'm guessing that the problem has to be on the laptop side, assuming that the printer is still shared and published on the server.
[01:24] <SirChris> boss_mc: simple question, if I plug in a usb key can I install the system onto that instead of my harddrive so if it fails or panics I can just wipe the key and start over
[01:24] <bokchoi> GodfatherofEire: if you need secure encrypted hd wipe i would recommend truecrypt. but im sure a security expert would have a better answer than that
[01:24] <bdfoster_iPhone> gotcha. looks like the controllers are similar in the way they connect. it should br no biggie.
[01:24] <huttsonn> ok, thks.
[01:25] <jrib> what just happened...?
[01:25] <GodfatherofEire> bokchoi, i dont need a secure wipe, formatting just isnt working
[01:25] <woodyjlw> if I install ubuntu 9.10 on here again could I get help on here fixing suspend and wake problem?   cause 9.10 will fix my touchpad problems I am haveing
[01:25] <bokchoi> GodfatherofEire: good luck. dd should definitely work. it takes a while tho.
[01:25] <GodfatherofEire> bokchoi, trying to set up a gpt partition table, but the default ubuntu install uses an msdos partition table
[01:26] <kaski> My internet is way way slower in ubuntu than in windows, i have a wired connection. any suggestions?
[01:26] <GodfatherofEire> bokchoi, its an 8GB hd, shouldnt take too long
[01:26] <boss_mc> SirChris: I have done that but it was a pain in the backside to get it working properly (manually installing grub among other things)
[01:26] <tomg555> What's the best way to get a verticle panel to work right in gnome?
[01:27] <SirChris> boss_mc: you can't just point the installer to the key? that would of been an easy way for me to test installing
[01:27] <kostkon> !ipv6 | kaski
[01:27] <kaski> which link?
[01:27] <kostkon> kaski, it could be ipv6 related
[01:27] <kostkon> kaski, the 2nd one
[01:27] <boss_mc> SirChris: maybe you can, I only had one USB key available to me though (and no CD drive...)
[01:28] <GodfatherofEire> bokchoi, how would I indicate the whole drive, not the partition?
[01:28] <kaski> im pretty sure i already disabled ipv6 but ill check it
[01:28] <kostkon> kaski, ok
[01:28] <boss_mc> SirChris: actually that sounds liek it would work quite nicely
[01:28] <GodfatherofEire> bokchoi, just dd with of=hd0?
[01:28] <boss_mc> GodfatherofEire: if=/dev/zero
[01:29] <minimec> woodyjlw: YOur questions are related. With karmic, you get a newer version of xorg, which handles your GPU and touchpad in a different way. There is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf anymore, as the X-server handles all the hardware automatically. You have the possibility to create a /etc/X11/xorg.conf... THat will certainly help you with the synaptics driver...
[01:29] <kaski> kostkon, yep its disabled
[01:29] <Scottybuk> anyone have any idea how i can restrict www-data to 300/400mb of ram?
[01:29] <SirChris> boss_mc: yeah I bought another one yesterday so I could try different live cd's but always have a 9.10 desktop backup because i know it works and I don't have a windows computer, just a mac and a blank as1410
[01:29] <kostkon> kaski, ok
[01:29] <GodfatherofEire> boss_mc, I know, i meant just for the output portion
[01:29] <kaski> kostkon, any other ideas
[01:30] <boss_mc> SirChris: if the as1410 is blank can't you just try on that and, if it fails, format that?
[01:30] <kostkon> kaski, no :/
[01:30] <GodfatherofEire> Ah, screw it, I'll just do a quick DBAN
[01:30] <kaeser> I am looking for a monocromatic laser printer(foss of course)...
[01:31] <ugliefrog_> I had a flashblock script that someone gave me a link to awhile back for chromium......does anyone know what it is called i miss it
[01:31] <kaski> My internet is way way slower in ubuntu than in windows, i have a wired connection. any suggestions?
[01:31] <nevets04> Does anyone know of a good free screen recorder?
[01:31] <SirChris> boss_mc: yeah but i don't know much about ubuntu and was worried it might cause serious damage with a noob trying to do a advanced install, i suppose formating will always fix any problems
[01:32] <boss_mc> SirChris: formatting cures all evils! (except kicking out the plug while flashing the BIOS, must remember not to do that again....)
[01:32] <bdfoster_iPhone> nevets04: there are a few in the ubuntu software center
[01:33] <michaelg> Hi, I just tried installing Karmic on a new Thinkpad SL510; but as soon as I select "Install Ubuntu" or "Try ubuntu w/o changing your computer" (or as soon as I install via Wubi and then reboot into Ubuntu), I just see a blank screen.  Ctrl-alt-delete still works, but ctrl-alt-f1 doesn't show me a text prompt.  What should I try next?
[01:33] <nevets04> bdfoster_iPhone, One in specific you would suggest?
[01:33] <bdfoster_iPhone> craw
[01:33] <ssmit> Is there a resource anyone can point me to on how to set up a Ubuntu "home media server"?
[01:34] <bdfoster_iPhone> crap I have one on my box, cant think of the name.
[01:34] <bdfoster_iPhone> im on my phone right now lol
[01:34] <Salvad> Hello.
[01:34] <BraveSaintStuart> so... whatever I tried to install Adobe Flashplayer didn't work
[01:34] <BraveSaintStuart> is there anyone who can help me with that fun stuff?
[01:35] <Salvad>  Since the upgrade I made to Ubuntu 9.10, I get error when try to install/uninstall deb packages.
[01:35] <ugliefrog_> #chromium
[01:35] <billybigrigger> anyone having problems running gnomedo's docky on dual monitors? nvidia card with latest drivers
[01:35] <BraveSaintStuart> or is there a better web browser for ubuntu?
[01:35] <billybigrigger> i can't figure how to run docky on both screens, and gnome panel on the 2nd screen is acting wierd now
[01:36] <BraveSaintStuart> yeah Salvad: I had that problem with the flashplayer.deb
[01:37] <michaelg> Is this the right place to ask an installation question?
[01:37] <lstarnes> michaelg: if it is related to ubuntu, this is the place for it
[01:37] <Scottybuk> anyone have any idea how i can restrict www-data to 300/400mb of ram?
[01:38] <BraveSaintStuart> so does anyone have any idea how else to install adobe flashplayer onto Firefox?
[01:38] <BraveSaintStuart> because whatever I just tried didn't really work
[01:38] <kostkon> BraveSaintStuart, how did you try to install it?
[01:39] <paradroid> BraveSaintStuart: There is a package called "ubuntu-restricted-extras" in the repositiories. It installs every package you need to play certain media formats, as well as java and flash plugins for Firefox.
[01:39] <BraveSaintStuart> yeah, paradroid, I think I downloaded those, but anytime I try to play media (say on ESPN.com), it's just a black screen
[01:39] <BraveSaintStuart> before it said "Get Adobe Flashplayer" with their logo... but now it's just black
[01:40] <zythyl> does anyone here know much about the application "mirrorselect"... this is a bit offtopic but im compiling a kernel right now and i need to select a mirror for package updates using mirrorselect inside Gentoo but i dot know how to actually select a mirror when the list pops up... i can scroll and move up and down the list but when i press "enter" to select one, it just send me back to the command prompt.
[01:40] <sproaty> is there some way to send feedback when rmeoving a program
[01:40] <paradroid> BraveSaintStuart: I've had the same problem. Normally restarting Firefox helps, or at least rebooting. It's a terrible fix I know.
[01:41] <BraveSaintStuart> heheh... yeah what can you do
[01:41] <BraveSaintStuart> I did restart Firefox... maybe rebooting is the answer
[01:42] <paradroid> BraveSaintStuart: It's the wrong answer, mind you. You should never have to reboot. Of course, they are playing with Adobe's binary, so it's a little tougher to optimize and make fit.
[01:43] <paradroid> zythyl: Pick a mirror closest to you, highlight it, and press space to select it. You can select multiple mirrors. For future reference, please use #gentoo on irc.freenode.net for future Gentoo related questions.
[01:43] <BraveSaintStuart> right... I mean... none of that really makes sense to me... I'm pretty much a computer moron compared to everyone who does the work to make Ubuntu what it is
[01:43] <blacye> 大家好
[01:43] <BraveSaintStuart> but, at the same time, I understand that the language isn't much the same, so... awesome
[01:43] <b0ngl0ad> can anybody give me some advice on making my wifi work in a compaq laptop with ubuntu?  This is my first time ever using the program, trying to get some things working right.
[01:43] <BraveSaintStuart> anywho... thanks for the advice...  Everyone starts somewhere, and everyone starts knowing nothing.
[01:44] <nytek_> b0ngl0ad: have you enable the restricted drivers under system > restricted drivers?
[01:45] <paradroid> BraveSaintStuart: The problem is if you remain knowing nothing. Now, go out there and...do stuff?
[01:46] <BraveSaintStuart> thanks for the pep talk! I'm gonna... go do stuff!
[01:46] <nytek_> BraveSaintStuart: haha, fl!
[01:46] <nytek_> BraveSaintStuart: gl*!
[01:47] <b0ngl0ad> nytek_,  can you be more specific on that location.  I am not seeing restricted drivers under system.
[01:47] <nytek_> b0ngl0ad: um, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[01:47] <ubuntu> hello all
[01:48] <lugnuttz> does anyone have some time to help me ? I cant get ubuntu to install to the HD but runs from a CD
[01:48] <b0ngl0ad> nytek_,  9.10
[01:48] <b0ngl0ad> i see hardware drivers
[01:48] <b0ngl0ad> but nothing about restricted
[01:48] <kitche> lugnuttz: well what is the error you are getting if anything
[01:48] <ubuntu> i have that same problem
[01:49] <ubuntu> :( i have tried 9.04 and 9.10 about 4 times each
[01:49] <nytek_> b0ngl0ad: open that and see if you see your wireless card
[01:49] <ubuntu> i get a different error every time
[01:49] <nytek_> b0ngl0ad: hardware i mean, im sorry
[01:49] <lugnuttz> at the end of the boot up it said the network manager could not complete.
[01:49] <Salvad> Hello.
[01:49] <gcleric> Salvad: howdy
[01:49] <Salvad> I get this when trying to install/uninstall deb packages: "E: ttf-mscorefonts-installer: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1".
[01:49] <kitche> lugnuttz: well that's not really a fatal error really
[01:49] <mac9416> ubuntu, you must have fought tooth and nail to get that nick. ;-) Didn't mean to interrupt, just saying hi. :-)
[01:49] <Salvad> What does it means?
[01:50] <ubuntu> :D im on the live cd
[01:50] <ubuntu> it was just the default
[01:50] <lugnuttz> thats what I was thinking but when i have it running from the cd and click the icon to install to the hd, it does nothing.
[01:50] <gcleric> Salvad: have to run an apt-get install -f ?
[01:50] <Salvad> What does it do?
[01:51] <Salvad> *That.
[01:51] <gcleric> Salvad: fixes a package(s) that are not fully installed.
[01:51] <Salvad> I will run that and come back.
[01:52] <b0ngl0ad> nytek_,  it says no propritery hardware found and the list is empty
[01:52] <BraveSaintStuart> I'm back...
[01:52] <BraveSaintStuart> to no avail
[01:53] <Salvad> Well.
[01:53] <Salvad> I am getting this in the process: "--2009-12-01 22:52:23--  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe
[01:53] <Salvad> Resolving downloads.sourceforge.net... failed: Connection timed out."
[01:53] <Salvad> I can download packages though.
[01:54] <BraveSaintStuart> Salvad: did you mention about having trouble with .deb
[01:54] <Salvad> Yes.
[01:54] <BraveSaintStuart> Salvad: I am too... don't really know what to do about it though
[01:54] <BraveSaintStuart> Salvad: sorry if I got your hopes up
[01:55] <woodyjlw> I think I may try 9.10 one more time on this laptop but wondering if anyone els on here has a laptop with a ATI 200M graphics card that is using 9.10 successfully ??
[01:55] <tity> holas
[01:55] <tity> xD
[01:55] <BraveSaintStuart> so is there any other way to install Adobe Flashplayer so that it might work?
[01:55] <dox_drum> woodyjlw, I don't
[01:56] <tity> alguien juega l2 en ubuntu? server oficial o privado?
[01:56] <woodyjlw> dont what?   have ati or any problems with it
[01:57] <dox_drum> woodyjlw, I couldn't configure it to work properly.
[01:57] <BraveSaintStuart> Adobe Flashplayer problems, anyone?
[01:57] <BraveSaintStuart> no one?
[01:57] <woodyjlw> maybe I should wait then?
[01:57] <dox_drum> tity, what is l2?
[01:58] <trism> BraveSaintStuart: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer is all you need
[01:58] <lainy> My MPD is playing but the MPD values on my conky simply display (null). Any help? Thanks.
[01:58] <BraveSaintStuart> trism: I don't know even know what that means
[01:59] <michaelg> BraveSaintStuart: click Applications -> Terminal, then type that command
[01:59] <michaelg> it will prompt for your password, then install "flashplugin-installer"
[01:59] <michaelg> (apt-get is a command-line program to install programs.)
[01:59] <michaelg> I am not sure what happens *after* you install an "installer", though...
[02:00] <trism> michaelg: the installer just downloads the flash package from the adobe website and installs it...hence installer
[02:00] <biggerfisch> My computer's screen will not lock when I select "Lock Screen" from the right-most menu, but it will when the screensaver kicks in or I can select switch users, but the screen will not simply lock from the menu. Does anyone have any ideas?
[02:01] <michaelg> trism: ah.
[02:01] <Um_cara_qualquer> excuse me, when i try to add some music in K3B it says: "Problem while adding files to the project." how can i solve this problema?
[02:01] <BraveSaintStuart> michaelg: trism: it didn't really seem to do anything
[02:02] <michaelg> BraveSaintStuart: I can only speak to how to run apt-get via the command line -- no idea re: Flash.  Sorry!
[02:02] <koolmanluke> how do I configure firefox so that I dont have to type in .com
[02:02] <BraveSaintStuart> trism: ?
[02:03] <trism> BraveSaintStuart: it should say things such as downloading flashplugin-installer, unpacking, installing, etc...then you should be good to go
[02:03] <michaelg> koolmanluke: hit "control enter" after typing a url, e.g. type "google" and hit control enter.  it will place ".com" after your url for you.
[02:03] <madcheeze> hey all i need some quick amarok help. i cant hear my music. i hear all other sounds like clicks, etc. but no music. any ideas?
[02:03] <BraveSaintStuart> trism:  oh... actually more interesting, and possibly frustrating
[02:04] <trism> BraveSaintStuart: what did it say after you typed the command?
[02:04] <biggerfisch> madcheeze: is amarok muted?
[02:04] <koolmanluke> micahelg, there is no way to force that behavior? I swear, it used to do that on my mac firefox standard
[02:04] <madcheeze> no
[02:04] <madcheeze> biggerfisch, no
[02:04] <BraveSaintStuart> trism: it just says "flashplugin-installer is already the newest version"
[02:04] <Um_cara_qualquer> anyone?
[02:04] <michaelg> koolmanluke: not sure.  i know that FF by default does an "i'm feeling lucky" google search when you type a non-url into the url bar.
[02:04] <BraveSaintStuart> trism: this is definitely frustrating because I've already restarted Firefox and Ubuntu
[02:04] <michaelg> (for me)
[02:04] <trism> BraveSaintStuart: so no flash apps work?
[02:04] <koolmanluke> michaelg, thanks, the control enter tip works
[02:04] <michaelg> koolmanluke: np
[02:04] <BraveSaintStuart> trism: nothing so far
[02:05] <ZaNeIuM> how does one tell what hd are on the system, like what is my usb flash drive? dh3?
[02:05] <biggerfisch> madcheeze: try checking the system sound prefs. and see if music playback is muted
[02:05] <BraveSaintStuart> trism:  I suppose I should try something like on YouTube or something, but espn.com doesn't seem to want to show me anything
[02:06] <trism> BraveSaintStuart: not all flash apps will work in the linux version unfortunately
[02:06] <alloy_> hi, i'm trying to get vmware server going, it needs all the kernel headers and source - what packages do i install for this?
[02:06] <trism> BraveSaintStuart: try youtube though, because that definitely works
[02:06] <alloy_> i have linux-source and linux-headers, but still npo fun
[02:06] <BraveSaintStuart> trism: correct... it does... that's a little disappointing though
[02:07] <trism> BraveSaintStuart: yes it is
[02:07] <BraveSaintStuart> trism: perhaps I'll still be able to watch some goodness on hulu or something, and I'll have to use GASP Windows for ESPN.  Poo
[02:08] <trism> BraveSaintStuart: yeah hulu works fine too
[02:08] <BraveSaintStuart> trism:  Well good deal... thanks for the help... I'm sure the intelligent minds behind ubuntu will get keep making this thing better
[02:09] <vock> Just a quick question: sda11 in grub would be (hd0,10) ?
[02:10] <felipeolivers> br
[02:10] <jrib> vock: depends on your grub version
[02:10] <vock> 1.6
[02:10] <jrib> vock: then yes
[02:10] <Dunas> With Flashplugin-nonfree properly installed and configured, clicking on the Youtube controls for the videos is not working. They still respond to spacebar for pause and play, however. Karmic 9.10, Firefox 3.5
[02:10] <vock> jrib: thanks
[02:11] <jrib> Dunas: check bugs.ubuntu.com, there should be a bug as I've seen similar complaints
[02:11] <gnomeman> Hi guys.  First time here.  Does anybody know or has anybody herd of Ubuntu not running (graphically) on a new Intel G31 chipset machine?  I've tried that latest Ubuntu release as well as the last 3 releases of Ubuntu and Kubuntu with the same results.  Also the latest version of Linux Mint has the same issue.
[02:11] <ZaNeIuM> does sda mean drive 0 (hd0)??
[02:12] <jrib> ZaNeIuM: in what context?
[02:12] <ZaNeIuM> i see my usb drive as /dev/sda1
[02:12] <dox_drum> Is the youtube plugging of totem working 4 any of you?
[02:12] <ZaNeIuM> is that also (hd0)
[02:12] <jrib> ZaNeIuM: did you see my question?
[02:12] <ZaNeIuM> jrib?
[02:13] <woodyjlw> if I run a dual boot with 9.04 as main os and test 10.04 will I be able to update the 10.04 to newest build or do you have to install newest build every time ?
[02:13] <ZaNeIuM> im trying to install grub on my usb stick, but it tells me i need to know what (hdx) it is
[02:14] <jrib> ZaNeIuM: I haven't done that, but yes sda is hd0
[02:14] <ZaNeIuM> thank you and then /dev/sdc3 would be (hd3,3) ?
[02:15] <jrib> ZaNeIuM: no...
[02:16] <ZaNeIuM> ?
[02:16] <jrib> ZaNeIuM: if a is 0, then c is not 3
[02:16] <woodyjlw> If you have a dual boot system with 2 different ubuntu OS and you want to get rid of one of them can you do it without reinstalling whole system
[02:16] <alloy_> what's the best way to get all source installed on ubuntu 8.04?
[02:17] <jrib> alloy_: why?
[02:17] <jrib> woodyjlw: sure
[02:17] <woodyjlw> cool
[02:17] <alloy_> jrib: vmware server needs it to build it's kernel module
[02:17] <jrib> !vmware > alloy_
[02:17] <dailystruggle> does sound work with IRC
[02:18] <alloy_> it's the UBUNTU linux source I need jrib
[02:18] <jrib> dailystruggle: up to your client
[02:18] <jrib> alloy_: read the link ubottu gave you
[02:18] <dailystruggle> which clients do
[02:18] <woodyjlw> so if I find a test version of 10.04 and I dual boot with my 9.04 and I dont like it I can get rid of 10.04 without reinstalling
[02:18] <vock> I'm trying to install karmic-mini.iso from a hard drive without burning it: I've edited fstab so that it the partition is mounted on boot (it is automatically mounted when I start Jaunty, so i think i did it right), grub is pointed to the right partition (/dev/sda11, grub is pointing to (hd0,10) but I'm still getting that it's not able to mount the partition, any ideas?
[02:18] <jrib> dailystruggle: most can be setup to play a sound on different events
[02:18] <dox_drum> no1 has problem with totem's youtube?
[02:19] <jrib> woodyjlw: yes
[02:19] <woodyjlw> ok thanks :)
[02:19] <jrib> woodyjlw: just make sure you use 9.04's grub so you don't have to reinstall grub later
[02:20] <dailystruggle> no like if I wanted to broadcast sound from a meeting
[02:20] <jrib> vock: i would just use a usb flash drive personally
[02:20] <jrib> !install > vock
[02:20] <jrib> vock: see if that has any tips
[02:20] <jrib> dailystruggle: no, irc doesn't do that
[02:20] <dailystruggle> does anyone have a clue how they did it at UDS-l
[02:21] <dailystruggle> they had live stream
[02:22] <woodyjlw> ok
[02:22] <vock> jrib: I would too, except this computer can't boot off a USB :(
[02:22] <jrib> dailystruggle: icecast?
[02:23] <alloy_> thanks jrib i'll remember that page - was actually on it yesterday trying to get 9.10 working with it, again thanks :-)
[02:23] <dailystruggle> ill look at that
[02:24] <wolf23> help me please!
[02:24] <vock> jrib: If it comes up again, I think the problem is that grub can't read ntfs?
[02:25] <jrib> vock: yeah, I'd believe that
[02:26] <Xodiac> with showmouse how do I live it on even when i reboot the system
[02:26] <wolf23> somebody help!!
[02:26] <jrib> wolf23: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[02:26] <minimec> !ask | wolf23
[02:27] <wolf23> minimec:  is there a way to burn 4 .cue files in one dvd?
[02:27] <phrontist> so my brother, who shares an connection with me, noticed that his ping (for some steam game) was really bad. He disconnected my machine and it went back to normal. What's strange though is that I'm not doing anything that should be connecting to the network. As soon as I connect again, the problem resumes. I've run top and netstat and I've got some fishy results.
[02:27] <wolf23> minimec:  i mean is there a way to burn 4 .bin files in one dvd?
[02:28] <wallbunny> Hi! I could use some help with mdadm. I created a new raid-5 array with 3x1.5tb disks today, but something went horribly wrong... I made the array with one disk missing, so that I could copy the contents of my old disk to the degraded array. mdstat does not list the array (md3), and I am not very familiar with the mdadm tools
[02:28] <SuperMiguel> i install flash 10.. but im unable to click on any of the control features of flash.. like play or pause
[02:28] <phrontist> First off, netstat shows a connection to "shareprocessing.com" - which I've never heard of
[02:28] <jrib> SuperMiguel: check bugs.ubuntu.com, that seems to be a common one
[02:28] <microlith> phrontist: can your router display traffic information?
[02:29] <cant> I am for whatever reason, unable to play any videos on my computer.. ubuntu
[02:29] <minimec> wolf23: you can burn as much data on a dvd until it is full, using it as a data dvd. Cannot give you an answer for more detailed dvd questions.
[02:29] <phrontist> microlith: I don't think so
[02:29] <Ben64> phrontist: sudo apt-get install bwm-ng
[02:29] <jrib> SuperMiguel: here you go: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/410407?comments=all
[02:29] <Ben64> phrontist: with that you can monitor how much bandwidth you're using on your computer
[02:29] <phrontist> here is my netstat output (except unix sockets): http://pastebin.ca/1697584
[02:30] <wolf23> minimec:  ah ok , thanx
[02:30] <phrontist> ben64: okay. I've been using gkrellm and it showed a steady 10kbps before I connected to irc.
[02:30] <cant> I am for whatever reason, unable to play any videos on my computer.. what is the repo to add to get flash?
[02:30] <jrib> !flash | cant
[02:31] <SuperMiguel> jrib, how do i even google that?
[02:31] <babah> aloha
[02:31] <draconas> i was wondering if someone could help me with installation from a CD, ive tried everything for 5 hours
[02:31] <phrontist> also, and this frankly freaks me out, there is a dd process running... and I haven't ever used dd on this machine
[02:31] <jrib> SuperMiguel: I didn't tell you to google.  I told you to search for a bug at http://bugs.ubuntu.com, but I did it for you in my last message
[02:31] <phrontist> is there any conceivable reason for that?
[02:31] <aspidites> draconas: everything is fairly vague. at what point of installation does it fail?
[02:32] <babah> ive just installed ubuntu 9.04, but no sounds, anyone can help me?
[02:32] <lstarnes> phrontist: check the parameters that it is using
[02:32] <jrib> phrontist: short answer: yes.  If it's hogging your cpu or something, there was a bug about it at bugs.ubuntu.com
[02:32] <draconas> ash-2plus1: after i click install, it shows the icon, then it goes away and does nothing, the hhard drive light is on but its doing nothing
[02:32] <phrontist> lstarnes: how?
[02:32] <lstarnes> phrontist: ps aux | grep /bin/dd
[02:33] <babah> how can i make the sounds activate?
[02:33] <phrontist> jrib: oh, so there is a known issue with ubuntu that causes it to run a useless dd proc?
[02:33] <jrib> phrontist: no, I believe it has a use
[02:33] <wolf23> minimec:  but its a game of 4 cds .bin and .cue and i need to know about a program to burn them into one dvd
[02:33] <lstarnes> phrontist: if you see /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg, it is being used to store the kernel log messages from /proc/kmsg to /var/run/klogd/kmsg for use by klogd
[02:33] <jrib> phrontist: but there is a known issue where it hogs the cpu
[02:33] <jrib> phrontist: (sometimes)
[02:34] <phrontist> dd's options are: /bin/dd bs 1 if /proc/kmsg of /var/run/klogd/kmsg
[02:34] <phrontist> so yeah, looks like some system thing
[02:34] <git__> dd is cool
[02:34] <phrontist> it's not hogging CPU, so I'm fine with that
[02:34] <phrontist> but still weirded out by the apparent constant bandwidth usage, however small
[02:34] <cant> i have flashinstaller installed already but no flash  still no video   where is the installer?
[02:34] <draconas> seems like my flashdrive will get past the boot screen, but not the installation CD
[02:35] <jrib> cant: what *exactly* did you do to install flash?
[02:35] <jadakren> wolf23: are you implying you have done this before?
[02:35] <minimec> wolf23: what you want is a storage device that handles your 4 cds, and a software to mount your cue files. Ubuntu is your friend
[02:35] <cant> clicked on the install flash link from the above ubotto and it reported already installed the installer
[02:36] <git__> i have a 8GB file
[02:36] <git__> i can't copy it to my Ubuntu laptop
[02:36] <phrontist> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, I'm an idiot
[02:36] <wolf23> minimec:  please can u help me and tell me what program use for it?
[02:36] <phrontist> there is a bitorrent process.
[02:36] <jrib> !who | cant
[02:36] <phrontist> so I haven't been l33t h4x0red after all
[02:37] <momo> hi what can i use to check for bad sectors
[02:37] <wolf23> jadakren:  i didnot try this before, but i am asking if there a way to burn 4 .bin and .cue files into one dvd
[02:37] <cant> jrib  yes
[02:37] <jrib> cant: and then, did you restart your browser?
[02:37] <microlith> phrontist: yeah, BT will slaughter your upstream if unmonitored
[02:37] <cant> jrib I didnt install anything
[02:37] <blue_lines> hey all.
[02:38] <jrib> cant: restart your browser
[02:38] <cant> ok
[02:38] <phrontist> microlith: I was seeding that torrent of every MIDI on geocities :-)
[02:38] <phrontist> with no upload limit
[02:38] <jadakren> wolf23: first off... have you found a programm to mount the cye & bin files yet?
[02:38] <draconas> anyone: is there a reason why the hard drive hangs and the installation CD does nothing after the first screen, but im able to use ubuntu from my flashdrive?
[02:38] <blue_lines> I'm trying to install 9.10 on my eeePC, but when I made a bootable USB, it just ignored it completely.
[02:38] <jadakren> wolf23: cue*
[02:38] <blue_lines> It's set to boot from USB.
[02:38] <blue_lines> Any ideas?
[02:38] <minimec> wolf23: brasero to burn the cue's, and this to mount them... http://maketecheasier.com/mount-iso-bin-and-cue-files-from-nautilus/2009/05/23
[02:39] <microlith> phrontist: a venture with dubious value :P
[02:39] <winged56> Hi.
[02:39] <phrontist> microlith: indeed.
[02:39] <gnomeman> Is anybody else having a problem with the new Intel G31 graphics chipset?
[02:39] <phrontist> that brings me to my next question
[02:39] <phrontist> how do I extract a .7z on ubuntu hardy?
[02:39] <jrib> !7z | phrontist
[02:39] <wolf23> thanx minimec and jadakren i try!
[02:40] <phrontist> jrib: word.
[02:41] <gnomeman> So the new Intel G31 don't work at all on Ubuntu...but the Nvidia ones do?
[02:42] <The> hello Rm
[02:42] <draconas> is there a reason why the installation CD makes my drive hang and makes it do nothing for hours, but my flashdrive has no problem with it?
[02:43] <linux> hi
[02:43] <mdg> anyone seen ShawnRisk tonight?
[02:43] <wolf23> minimec:  can u burn from brasero the 4 .cue files?

[02:44] <IdleOne> !u | The
[02:44] <mdg> The: jump right in
[02:45] <Fred_ie> evening all
[02:45] <draconas> someone who cares: is there a reason why my CD doesnt work?
[02:45] <IdleOne> draconas: yes
[02:45] <The> very funny
[02:46] <skylermedia> is there a channel for scalix or anywhere i can get support?
[02:46] <draconas> the: thanks
[02:46] <minimec> wolf23: what I explained you is a way to backup your cds, like make a cue/bin copy of them and save them. Don't think that you can just mount and burn your cue files on a DVD and the DVD handles them as indipendant cds like for installation of the game or so...
[02:46] <skylermedia> well support would mean i have it install... i'm really just interested in getting started with scalix
[02:46] <draconas> IdleOne: and the reason would be?
[02:46] <IdleOne> draconas: did you check the iso with md5?
[02:47] <draconas> IdleOne:whats md5? im using it with my flashdrive and it seems to work fine
[02:47] <IdleOne> !md5
[02:47] <IdleOne> draconas: follow that link
[02:47] <draconas> IdleOne: thanks, gimme a minute
[02:48] <jadakren> wolf23: what game is it.
[02:48] <IdleOne> draconas: also burn the cd at lowest speed possible
[02:48] <wolf23> minimec:  oh so i need to burn 4 cds not all in one dvd :(
[02:48] <wellington> ei some knows because new ubuntu does not recognize drive of sound
[02:48] <wolf23> jadakren:  men of valor
[02:48] <ac13> hi, all my videos have the wrong color
[02:48] <ac13> I think it is an xvideo problem
[02:48] <ac13> is there some way to fix this?
[02:48] <minimec> wolf23: probably yes.
[02:49] <jadakren> wolf23: one thing you could experiement with is mounting each cd and copying the contents to a folder on your hard drive... then burning that folder to a dvd
[02:49] <epinky> ac13: define "wrong color"
[02:49] <wellington> my friends and u we are I try this problem
[02:49] <ac13> epinky: like, purplish
[02:49] <ac13> and bluish
[02:49] <hololight> ac13: do u have an ati card?
[02:49] <ac13> nope
[02:49] <ac13> under gstreamer-properties changing to "no xv" fixes
[02:49] <ac13> but then the video tears
[02:49] <jadakren> wolf23: this is one of the ways  you get around other programs that install from multi-discs
[02:50] <gnomeman> Hi guys.  First time here.  Does anybody know or has anybody herd of Ubuntu not running (graphically) on a new Intel G31 chipset machine?  I've tried that latest Ubuntu release as well as the last 3 releases of Ubuntu and Kubuntu with the same results.  Also the latest version of Linux Mint has the same issue.
[02:50] <ac13> I have a nvidia card. using the latest (185?) drivers
[02:50] <epinky> ac13: I think that's a codec issue, tried with "vlc player" ?
[02:50] <ac13> epinky: under mplayer, gl works but xv doesn't
[02:50] <hololight> ac13: ok, i only asked cause a friend had a similar prob. and it was an issues with his driver but his card was ati
[02:50] <wellington> many are tie with will to change or to install the old version
[02:51] <marks256> Say if i had a lab of 50 ubuntu computers, could i have an update server so i dont have to download 50 400mb updates (example size). Then i would only have to download 1 400mb set, then distribute it to the lab
[02:51] <ac13> yeah it might be a driver problem. but I can't see how to change the colors!
[02:51] <minimec> jadakren: wolf23: That merge- in- one- folder is worth a try. At least that alwost always worked back in the 9ties... ;)
[02:51] <ac13> well, all the colors in nvidia-setitngs look fine. so it oculd be some sort of issue with the color space? (I don't really know much about this stuff...)
[02:51] <hololight> ac13: try the open source video drive just to be sure that is not the prob
[02:51] <wolf23> jadakren:  jadakren so tell me how peoples burn 6 movies in one dvd and when u insert the dvd on a dvd player it shows menus with animations, can u tell me how they burn it?
[02:51] <jadakren> wolf23: movie != game
[02:52] <BalSak> hi guys
[02:52] <ac13> don't the nvidia drivers tend to work well? I don't really want to switch video drivers if it can be avoided
[02:52] <b0ngl0ad> can someone please help me get flash player installed so i can watch youtube videos?  I am using ubuntu V 9.10
[02:52] <zer0ne> hi all. Evolution mail hangs on "formatting messages"...
[02:52] <ac13> b0ngl0ad: install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:52] <wolf23> jadakren:  no movies films
[02:52] <BalSak> how do I unbind an app from a port/socket; it's misbehaving & I can't kill it & it's hogging a socket I need
[02:53] <b0ngl0ad> ac13,  where do i find that?  sorry for the n00b questions, this is my first time.. only a couple hours into it
[02:53] <jadakren> wolf23: i meant movies are not games, therefore follow different rules about how they can be compiled onto a dvd disc
[02:53] <IdleOne> !flash | b0ngl0ad
[02:53] <zer0ne> b0ngload: sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:53] <ac13> b0ngl0ad: it might be in the software center
[02:53] <draconas> IdleOne: it works
[02:53] <b0ngl0ad> i installed everything i could find with youtube in the software center and it didnt work
[02:53] <IdleOne> draconas: it works?
[02:53] <b0ngl0ad> !flash
[02:53] <jadakren> wolf23: unless of course your dvd player is divx or xvid compatiable, therefore you can just copy the divx or xvid movie files onto the dvd like normal data files
[02:54] <ac13> b0ngl0ad, : ubuntu restricted extras are in the software center
[02:54] <ac13> search for "restricted"
[02:54] <epinky> BalSak: have you identified the process?
[02:54] <BalSak> yip; twinkle with a PID of .... something
[02:54] <ac13> b0ngl0ad: Under "View", switch to "All"
[02:54] <draconas> IdleOne: cd still doesnt :/ but the iso is the same as what im using on my flashdrive, so i know the iso isnt the problem
[02:55] <epinky> BalSak: tried with "sudo kill -9 <PID>" ?
[02:55] <BalSak> PID#16796
[02:55] <c3z> hi, can any1 know how to remove login screen in 9.10 ? update-rc.d -f gmd just doesnt work =S ?
[02:55] <wolf23> jadakren:  no i mean how could i make 6 movies from my hard disk and burn them into one dvd, and with the menu
[02:55] <IdleOne> draconas: also burn the cd at lowest speed possible, check the BIOS and make sure the CDROM is set to boot first
[02:56] <BalSak> epinky: yea. just sits there. even tried doing it in a watch loop
[02:56] <Oddbio> Is there a "headphone jack sense" option in Ubuntu 9.10?  I can't seem to find it.
[02:56] <draconas> IdleOne: that may help, just 1x and not 4x speed?
[02:56] <Dunas> So how bad is this ext4 file corruption bug? Should I be concerned?
[02:56] <IdleOne> draconas: 2x should be slow enough but 1x if you feel like it.
[02:56] <jadakren> !devede | wolf23
[02:56] <alex413x> Hello, I have a problem with my ubunutu install on my laptop.  After logging in, the ubuntu gnome desktop doesnt seem to load properly.  My last used wallpaper shows up, and I can view the icons on my desktop as well as right click.  Also, when I try to open firefox or conkerer from the command line, I get "Bus error"
[02:56] <jrib> Dunas: I checked my backups
[02:56] <draconas> IdleOne: great i'll try it
[02:57] <wolf23> jadakren:  ok let me explain for you, if i intert the dvd ona a dvd player it shows the menu with the 6 films,and each film in the menu looks small and with animation
[02:57] <jadakren> wolf23: i've used 'devede' to do that
[02:57] <wolf23> jadakren:  also with sound
[02:57] <dxdemetriou> how can I hide visual assistance from GDM in Karmic?
[02:58] <b0ngl0ad> any1 ever had problems getting wifi to work on a laptop?
[02:58] <b0ngl0ad> laptop has built in wifi card
[02:58] <minimec> Oddbio: You should be able to find that in the alsa configuration of your soundcard in gnome-volume-control. jack-snese not working by default is a bad sign.... (my experience)
 how can I hide visual assistance from GDM in Karmic? <--- I would like to know that as well
[02:58] <ac13> wifi worked out of the box for me... what type of wireless card do you have?
[02:58] <SuperMiguel> b0ngl0ad, what kinda of wifi?
[02:59] <ac13> did you install all restricted drivers?
[02:59] <b0ngl0ad> im not sure of the wifi card, its a newer compaq a900, my brother wanted me to ask
[02:59] <Oddbio> minimec: I do not have a jack-sense option anywhere in there.
[02:59] <epinky> BalSak: can you tell which port is it? did you "lsof" it?
[03:00] <TylerE> Any recommendations for music player software, for a large collection (500+ CDs)... Rythtmnbox isn't cutting it, and Amarok2 is too....bad
[03:00] <IdleOne> b0ngl0ad: lsusb | grep wifi to get info on card
[03:00] <TylerE> a large portion of the music classical, so special support that would be a plus
[03:00] <IdleOne> b0ngl0ad: lspci | grep wifi to get info on card
[03:00] <IdleOne> sorry*
[03:00] <ac13> special support for classical?
[03:00] <BalSak> epinky: it's my SIP client, so it's on 5060 (confirmed by netstat -nap | grep ....)
[03:01] <minimec> Oddbio: Did you change your device to 'alsa'. It is set on 'pulse' by default. Change to alsa, try to check jack-sense, switch back to 'pulse'
[03:01] <TylerE> ac13: Think along the lines of grouping by *work*, not album or disc
[03:01] <Satzo> TylerE, i use Audacious2 because it is quick and easy.
[03:01] <ac13> TylerE: do you know of any audio player that does that (under windows!)? that would be awesome
[03:01] <TylerE> ac13: Not really ;(
[03:01] <epinky> BalSak: "sudo lsof -i :5060" (if lsof is not there then install it)
[03:02] <Oddbio> minimec: I don't have an option in gnome-volume-control to change between pulse and alsa
[03:02] <ac13> TylerE, under linux I use exaile, but I've also had problems with that in the past, though they may have been fixed
[03:02] <ac13> Oddbio, doesn't gnome default to pulse now? not really sure thoug
[03:02] <Oddbio> ac13: I'm pretty sure it does
[03:02] <ac13> Oddbio, maybe pulse is the only supported option now?
[03:03] <frogzoo> using anything else but pulse is inviting a world of pain
[03:03] <ac13> ha. apparently OSS works well. I had a hell of a time switching to pulse when I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10
[03:03] <ac13> i.e., sound stopped working completely
[03:04] <linuxguy2009> Hello I have removed pulseaudio from my 9.10 install and am currently using 'gnome-alsamixer' which is ok except it doesnt remember my user settings to hide and show selected faders. Are there any other GTK alsa volume adjustment apps?
[03:04] <minimec> Oddbio: I am on 9.04 here, but there should be a device section in 9.10 too... Something like 'Playback SB Live 5.1 ... (PulseAudio)'.
[03:04] <alex413x> Um ok well let me try to uninstall gnome and reinstall it:  Does anyone know what package I can remove to completely remove gnome?
[03:04] <ac13> why are you uninstalling gnome?
[03:04] <jadakren> !-devede
[03:04] <alex413x> im trying to solve the problem i posted up there
[03:05] <Oddbio> minimec: in sound preferences? I don't see anything like that
[03:05] <detrate> anyone have a problem with deluge opening every time you open a torrent file, rather than queuing it up?
[03:05] <epinky> linuxguy2009: add "/sbin/alsactl restore" in "/etc/rc.local"  just before "exit 0", then reboot
[03:06] <minimec> Oddbio: <alt>F2 gnome-volume-control
[03:07] <linuxguy2009> epinky: Im guessing that it will give back the panel icon for sound?
[03:07] <Oddbio> minimec: ya, same thing. I don't see it
[03:07] <minimec> Oddbio: You're on 9.10?
[03:07] <Oddbio> minimec: yes
[03:08] <minimec> Oddbio: I don't know like the gui looks like, but there should be some device section...
[03:08] <zlx> 请问大家一个问题，rename 's/.rm$/.rmvb/'
[03:08] <zlx> 's/.rm$/.rmvb/'这个是正则表达式吗
[03:09] <ac13> also, anyone know why firefox doesn't listen to the font settings?
[03:09] <zlx> 能否解释一下
[03:09] <ac13> it used to, but doesn't seem like it does anymore
[03:09] <Satzo> ac13, for a test, try another profile
[03:09] <Satzo> see if it profile-related
[03:09] <ac13> I mean it's not a big deal for me, because I'm still using default font settings. but it would be nice for it to be consistent
[03:09] <ac13> also, I don't know how to change the profile? do I make a new account?
[03:10] <Oddbio> minimec: well there is a output section
[03:10] <Satzo> ac13, goto the default mozilla dir in your home dir
[03:10] <Satzo> close firefox, rename the dir
[03:10] <Satzo> restart firefox
[03:10] <ac13> oh.
[03:10] <imdba> 是正则
[03:10] <Oddbio> minimec: and it says "choose a device for sound output", I only have one option "internal audio analog stereo" which is selected
[03:10] <Satzo> ac13, http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles
[03:10] <linuxguy2009> epinky: What does that do that you posted to me?
[03:11] <ac13> Satzo: okay I will try that sometime later so I don't accidentally break something
[03:11] <zlx> 能否解释一下，我只是简单的学了一下正则
[03:11] <Satzo> if anything, moving profiles is very safe
[03:11] <Oddbio> minimec: and then there is a "connector:" drop down box, where I can select "analog output" or "analog headphones".
[03:11] <epinky> linuxguy2009: never mind :)
[03:11] <Oddbio> minimec: I just tried selecting "analog headphones" but now I get no sound.
[03:11] <minimec> Oddbio: http://imagebin.org/73693
[03:11] <linuxguy2009> epinky: k
[03:12] <nicholas1> hi all, just a quick question. if I use the 'upgrade' button in the upgrade manager of Ubuntu 9.04 to get to Ubuntu 9.10 - will it use the mirror I have already set?
[03:12] <Satzo> nicholas1, far as i know yep
[03:13] <imdba> s/$1/$2/g 这样就是替换的正则。
[03:13] <nicholas1> okay, it just gives me some information about getting new sources etc.. I need to make sure it downloads from my ISP so the bandwidth isn't tallied. i have a limited download limit
[03:13] <tonyyarusso> nicholas1: yes
[03:14] <Oddbio> minimec: wow, it looks nothing like that
[03:14] <tonyyarusso> nicholas1: The sources changes are that it has to change 'jaunty' to 'karmic' and then download the stuff for that, but from the same server.
[03:14] <nicholas1> thanks tonyarusso & Satzo
[03:14] <tonyyarusso> Silly Australians and their ISPs.
[03:14] <nicholas1> exactly!
[03:14] <Satzo> for those in nicholas1's situation it'd be nice to set IPchains to deny access to all but update selected IP
[03:14] <gnomeman> Hi guys.  First time here.  Does anybody know or has anybody herd of Ubuntu not running (graphically) on a new Intel G31 chipset machine?  I've tried that latest Ubuntu release as well as the last 3 releases of Ubuntu and Kubuntu with the same results.  Also the latest version of Linux Mint has the same issue.
[03:14]  * Satzo has unlimited access...
[03:14] <tonyyarusso> It amuses me that I can deduce your country by your question without bothering with whois.
[03:15] <linuxguy2009> I see in ubuntu configuration editor that there is a section for my gnome-alsamixer to set shown/hidden faders etc. I wonder why it wont save the settings. I can hide them in the window, but it doesnt see the changes it seems. Anyone know why?
[03:15] <minimec> Oddbio: show me how it looks now ... ;) Make a <alt>PrintScreen an 'imagebin.org me the result ;)
[03:15]  * tonyyarusso has "unlimited" in US terminology, meaning 250GB/mo
[03:15] <nicholas1> what is the upgrade process like for Ubuntu? I have used Fedora since Core 1 and have never had a reliable upgrade path without a clean install...
[03:15] <Satzo> tonyyarusso the kangaroo population has plenty to do with their bandwidth caps.
[03:15] <tonyyarusso> nicholas1: Pretty darn good these days.  Some quirks, but it usually works.
[03:15] <Oddbio> minimec: http://imagebin.org/73695
[03:16] <zlx> 谢了，这样我就可以找资料看了
[03:16] <nicholas1> tonyyarusso - my mum's isp gives her an unlimited connection, but only at 256kbs... it is such a scam.
[03:16] <Wicked> anyone know of a tool that will let me combine a two part movie into one....with subtitles?
[03:16] <Wicked> i have a movie thats split in two..and each half has its own subtitle file
[03:16] <IdleOne> !cn | zlx
[03:16] <minimec> Oddbio: I do agree wit you *rofl*
[03:18] <minimec> Oddbio: It's like gnome-volume-control replaced pavucontrol in 9.10. Very interesting...
[03:19] <Oddbio> minimec: I can also access a pulseAudio control
[03:19] <_ged> hi, is there a way to check the the permission of a file, like i want to display the permission of a file on this directory?
[03:20] <jrib> _ged: ls -l
[03:20] <Junkyard> I get an error in trying to install mysql gem for ruby
[03:20] <Junkyard> This is the error http://paste-it.net/public/s771778/

[03:21] <_ged> jrib: thanks, but it doesnt display if this file has been granted by a 777 file permission.
[03:21] <jrib> Taim: . is redundand :)

[03:21] <minimec> Oddbio: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1319424
[03:21] <jrib> _ged: it displays the permissions as rwx...  It's actually easier to understand.  Use stat if you insist on seeing them in octal
[03:22] <Taim> jrib: pppth.
[03:22] <jrib> Taim: redundant even
[03:23] <_ged> thanks :)
[03:23] <SuperMiguel> is there any point on getting a Ubuntu cert>
[03:23] <SuperMiguel> ?
[03:24] <epinky> Junkyard: try with "sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev"
[03:24] <coolkehon> is there any way to install ubuntu in an encrypted lvm through the live cd
[03:24] <Satzo> SuperMiguel do you with in the linux field now?
[03:24] <_ged> jrib: ahm, i got a question again, on that "ls -l" it doesnt display the file that has a permission of 600, how can i view the files regardless of their permissions.
[03:24] <Satzo> _ged, as root
[03:24] <_ged> a
[03:25] <_ged> okey, i'll try that. thanks
[03:25] <Junkyard> epinky, Its already installed
[03:25] <SuperMiguel> Satzo, ?
[03:25]  * jrib is glad Satzo understood the question
[03:25] <sweat> Hi just installed ubuntu server, it created an lvm but i want to expand it with a new harddrive. Someone knows any tutorial about it? cant find it or i am not searching good enoug :|
[03:25] <Satzo> and SuperMiguel doesn't understand mine......
[03:25] <Taim> SuperMiguel: Is there a point in getting an RHCE, MCSE or CCNA?
[03:25] <epinky> Junkyard: will "sudo gem install mysql" help?
[03:25] <orangepnut> When I do tar xf <filename.tar.bz2> in the terminal I get an error that the file or directory doesn't exist when the tar.bz2 file is on my desktop, I'm new to linux by the way
[03:25] <SuperMiguel> Taim, well there is alot of market for CCNA and MCSE :) is there market for ubuntu?
[03:25] <slide> I have a laptop with an ATI Radeon Express 200M that I'm trying to connect to my LCD HDTV via the VGA port but it won't give me anything higher resolutions. the TV can do full 1080p,
[03:25] <jrib> Satzo: you made some sort of typo, read what you wrote :)
[03:26] <jrib> orangepnut: pastebin
[03:26] <Satzo> sorry folks.   do you work with linux now SuperMiguel ?
[03:26] <Oddbio> minimec: that's odd. I don't have the headphone jack sense option in alsamixer either
[03:26] <SuperMiguel> Satzo, no
[03:26] <Junkyard> It helped :)
[03:26] <jrib> orangepnut: you know you can just right click -> extract right?
[03:26] <Junkyard> epinky, thanks
[03:26] <Satzo> SuperMiguel, then i wouldnt bother
[03:26] <Satzo> just keep tinkering and learning...
[03:27] <epinky> Junkyard: you're welcome :)
[03:27] <Satzo> if u can obtain the certs for free, then yes :)
[03:27] <Taim> SuperMiguel: There is for anybody that want's qualified Ubuntu experts.  It's a matter of relative value.  Some would argue that an RHCE is more valuable versus Ubuntu.  Others would argue the opposite.  Some more would argue that neither is that great.  It's a tool to help quantify your level of expertise and that's about it.
[03:27] <Satzo> Taim, agreeed.
[03:27] <minimec> Oddbio: As I said... jack-sense not working by default is a bad sign. Your aoundchip is not 100% working with the current alsa version of ubuntu 9.10...
[03:28] <Oddbio> minimec: aoundchip?
[03:28] <orangepnut> jrib, http://paste.ubuntu.com/332811/    I know that but I was just following the instructions on the website
[03:28] <crohakon> How do I use jar files?
[03:28] <jrib> orangepnut: what website?  What are you trying to do?
[03:28] <jrib> crohakon: what are you trying to do?
[03:28] <orangepnut> jrib, install metasploit
[03:28] <minimec> Oddbio: soundchip or soundcardchip ...
[03:28] <Satzo> crohakon, java
[03:29] <crohakon> Install UltraMixer Professional and the download is in a jar file
[03:29] <jrib> !cli > orangepnut
[03:29] <Oddbio> minimec: ok
[03:29] <fretegi_part_2> hi there guys
[03:29] <jrib> orangepnut: you should read that.  Anyway, you need to "cd ~/Desktop" first
[03:30] <fretegi_part_2> so if ur using ubuntu server as a media server, how do u play media on a television?
[03:30] <blackshell> is there a channel in freenode for qt?
[03:30] <waqarm> hello
[03:30] <fretegi_part_2> anyone know?
[03:30] <waqarm> i need help in ubuntu
[03:30] <Satzo> fretegi_part_2,  why would you want a server distro for that purpose??
[03:30] <johnson_b> waqarm: have to give more info than that
[03:30] <blackshell> waqam:how exactly?
[03:30] <waqarm> how do i get different wallpapers on each of my workspaces
[03:31] <fretegi_part_2> to use as a media server....
[03:31] <fretegi_part_2> what distro should u use?
[03:31] <jrib> waqarm: depends on your window manager
[03:31] <Satzo> fretegi_part_2, u dont need server distro for that purpose
[03:31] <Oddbio> minimec: oh well, thanks for your help.
[03:31] <coolkehon> ok so i'm on ubuntu how can i install ubuntu into an encrypted lvm so that i can boot into it
[03:31] <waqarm> blackshell
[03:31] <fretegi_part_2> cool, what distro do u recommend, not built yet, assumed u would need to tho
[03:31] <waqarm> r u able to hlp
[03:31] <johnson_b> waqarm: compiz may have something like that could always google to see
[03:32] <Satzo> fretegi_part_2, just regular ubuntu will do fine
[03:32] <minimec> Oddbio: no problem...
[03:32] <Satzo> then you can add what you need to do your functions
[03:32] <mezquitale> i want to use a netbook remix USB drive as an emergency bootup disk, can I also install applications to it??
[03:32] <fretegi_part_2> great, lots of time on ubuntu, but what is needed to perform that task?
[03:33] <Satzo> fretegi_part_2, pm me

[03:33] <waqarm> doesnt work
[03:33] <soreau> waqarm: In gnome it is possible by turning off nautilus show desktop and using the wallpaper plugin in ccsm (using compiz)
[03:33] <waqarm> and it's got a side effect
[03:33] <dylanpatterson> hey guys i am brand new to linux.. i just got it today on my windows based laptop and i cannot get linux to recognize my wifi card..

[03:34] <Bas> bleh, mirc quited...anyway...anyone can help me with the volume group??
[03:34] <Bas> not sure what to do
[03:34] <dylanpatterson> oh sorry. ubuntu 9.1
[03:35] <coolkehon> ok so i'm on ubuntu how can i install ubuntu into an encrypted lvm so that i can boot into it
[03:35] <coolkehon> dylanpatterson, it should work if it's atheros
[03:35] <coolkehon> dylanpatterson, i'll look it up one sec
[03:36] <waqarm> how do i change the ubuntu login screen
[03:36] <coolkehon> dylanpatterson, sorry don't think i can help you because i don't see the problem on line but here this may help http://fochsenhirt.wordpress.com/2008/05/02/install-ubuntu-804-on-compaq-presario-a900-laptop-howto/
[03:36] <waqarm> i m usin 9.10
[03:36] <johnson_b> coolkehon: i know its one of the options with server install
[03:36] <dylanpatterson> i think i just need drivers
[03:37] <waqarm> how do i change the ubuntu login screen
[03:37] <Satzo> dylanpatterson, lspci doesnt see the card?
[03:37] <coolkehon> johnson_b, i want to install ubuntu from within ubuntu through command line
[03:37] <dylanpatterson> yes lspci sees it
[03:37] <johnson_b> coolkehon: no idea sorry maybe someone else can help
[03:38] <minimec> waqarm: the whole booting process in ubuntu is under heavy work and change. Modifications of the login screen are limitated in karmic
[03:38] <Satzo> dylanpatterson,  then you are almost to the races
[03:38] <waqarm> oh
[03:38] <waqarm> thnx minimex
[03:38] <waqarm> minimec
[03:38] <waqarm> sory
[03:38] <mezquitale> dylanpatterson, there is a bug with the software for your driver, you could use backports: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/289014
[03:39] <s4z3n> I keep on getting this weird issue with Deluge every time I shut it down for the time and try to open it back up, it says its loading and then nothing happens. This happens when I try to open it from the applications menu or from downloading torrents from firefox, with firefox prompting the program to start.
[03:39] <minimec> waqarm: no problem. You can en/disable login sceen for a given user, if you want that...
[03:39] <dylanpatterson> ok.. im sorry but how do i use the backports?
[03:40] <maco> dylanpatterson: system -> administration -> software sources; there's a checkbox to enable backports
[03:40] <mezquitale> !paste
[03:41] <coolkehon> !install | coolkehon
[03:42] <mezquitale> dylanpatterson, youre using karmic, right? 9.10?
[03:42] <dylanpatterson> maco, i dont see backports in there
[03:43] <dylanpatterson> mezquitale, im using ubuntu 9.10
[03:43] <Dreamglider> im trying to see data coming from my Yaesu FT817 to a USB to Serial adapter. the Yaesu is talking at 38400 baud, now can i see the data streaming to the serialport ?
[03:43] <IdleOne> dylanpatterson: under the Updates tab
[03:44] <maco> dylanpatterson: "unsupported updates" sorry
[03:44] <dylanpatterson> maco, ok i checked it.. now..?
[03:44] <coolkehon> whats a good linux distro that will let me install it from usb into an encrypted lvm?
[03:45] <maco> dylanpatterson: hit ok and itll offer to reload the package list. let it.
[03:45] <dylanpatterson> maco, ok done
[03:46] <mezquitale> dylanpatterson, problem is the drivers should already be installed in karmic, type modprobe -l |grep ath5k
[03:46] <mezquitale> dylanpatterson, in a terminal type "mod probe -l | grep ath5k"
[03:47] <s4z3n> how do I see background processes, like the task manager in windows
[03:47] <Satzo> activity monitor s4z3n
[03:47] <mezquitale> s4z3n, in a terminal type "top"
[03:48] <Ve_> hi all
[03:48] <mezquitale> s4z3n, you can also install "system monitor"
[03:48] <IdleOne> s4z3n: System > Administration > System Monitor
[03:48] <s4z3n> Im having an issue with deluge when everytime I open it it doesn't show itself
[03:48] <epinky> s4z3n: System->Administration->System Monitor-> Processes  :)
[03:48] <s4z3n> thanks
[03:49] <Ve_> in ubuntu the autodetect is saying there is bad sectors on my old hdd.
[03:49] <dylanpatterson> mezquitale, ok. popped up kernel/driver/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.ko
[03:49] <maco> Ve_: take a backup ASAP and buy a new hard drive
[03:49] <mezquitale> s4z3n, open deluge in a terminal, if there are any errors when you run deluge you will see them in a terminal
[03:49] <Ve_> i dont thinkk it has any bad sectors. how can i be sure its acurate
[03:49] <prasad> which is the better virtual machine software - virtual-box or vmplayer 3.0 ?
[03:49] <mezquitale> !paste > dylanpatterson
[03:50] <s4z3n> ohh cool trick
[03:50] <Ve_> ubottu: you have any clue ^
[03:50] <mezquitale> dylanpatterson, type "iwconfig"and give us the results using paste bin
[03:50] <maco> Ve_: well it's asking the disk about its status, but if you want a full report, install "smartmontools" and use it
[03:50] <coolkehon> !paste > coolkehon
[03:50] <mezquitale> Ve_, you just installed karmic?
[03:50] <Ve_> thanks maco
[03:51] <Ve_> maco: is smartmontools in synaptic
[03:51] <maco> Ve_: yes
[03:52] <s4z3n> I closed the terminal and deluge shut down
[03:52] <mezquitale> maco, are you using karmic?  I always get the same error on both my laptop and desktop, something about my hard drive dying and failure is imminent but I use fsck to check the hard drive and everything is fine
[03:53] <Ve_> whats teh differance between synaptic and the new ubuntu software center
[03:53] <maco> mezquitale: yes i am using karmic. fsck wont tell you squat about bad sectors.
[03:53] <Dreamglider> how do i get minicom to see data comming to the serial port ?
[03:53] <Satzo> Ve_ the software center is inferior to synaptic
[03:53] <minimec> Ve_: Nothing but the user interface.
[03:53] <maco> mezquitale: smartmontools asks the disk for its status. fsck is about the filesystem. data can be corrupting due to bad sectors while the filesystem is in a "sane" state
[03:53] <dylanpatterson> http://paste.ubuntu.com/332824/
[03:54] <Satzo> Ve_, its more for ubuntu newbies, it works but not as elaborate/powerful as synaptic
[03:54] <Satzo> if you know synaptic you can remove software center
[03:55] <zerq> sw center is for "grandma remix" lol
[03:55] <brian_>  I am about ready to pull my hair out getting pulseaudio to work with Lingot or Gtkguitune has anyone gotten it to work without Jack or any other third party means?
[03:55] <prasad> am not getting the option to 'shutdown\reboot\hibernate' directly from the login screen. Used to get it earlier, is this a result of a update or a corrupt files. What do you think guys ??
[03:56] <s4z3n> mezquitale: how do determine if anything that came up on the terminal is an error?
[03:56] <dylanpatterson> mezquitale, http://paste.ubuntu.com/332824/
[03:56] <mezquitale> s4z3n,  you ran deluge in a terminal? did you see the deluge client pop up?
[03:56] <skyfollian> how come there is nothing except deb cdrom source in my sources.list
[03:57] <jlogsdon> so... i enabled advanced desktop effects and it installed a video driver, now that ive rebooted i can't get Xorg to boot. It's trying to use my wacom tablet as a monitor?
[03:57] <mezquitale> dylanpatterson, your wireless card is up and running just up, thank you very much, that'll be 5 euros please
[03:57] <l43a2> Lol
[03:57] <l43a2> 5 euro's thats abit cheap
[03:57] <Ve_> minimec: well i looked for smartmontools in ubuntu software centre its not there but it is in synaptic so there
[03:57] <brian_> I am about ready to pull my hair out getting pulseaudio to work with Lingot or Gtkguitune has anyone gotten it to work without Jack or any other third party means?
[03:57] <mezquitale> l43a2, ok well break even if a hug is included
[03:57] <olrrai> hell
[03:57] <olrrai> hello
[03:57] <s4z3n> mezquitale: yeah it popped back up along with a list of directories in the terminal
[03:58] <minimec> Satzo: zerq: We may laugh now. I am sure we won't anymore in a year or so...
[03:58] <dylanpatterson> mezquitale, lol! The little wifi button is still orange.. but it say wireless networks available
[03:58] <mezquitale> s4z3n, ok so now you can see the client then?
[03:58] <Satzo> minimec, id rather apt-get than software center :P
[03:58] <olrrai> do u know if "Intel Graphics 4500M" is  compatible with 9.10 ?
[03:58] <s4z3n> mezquitale: yeah, but when I close down the terminal deluge goes with it
[03:59] <skyfollian> no answer for my problem?
[03:59] <mezquitale> dylanpatterson, only windows blindly connects you to any wireless connection available, you have to configure your card to work with your router, do you have a network router?
[03:59] <minimec> Ve_: You are right. The SoftwareCentre is meant to be a quickView/Find application. Synaptic is the SwissArmyKnife. ;)
[03:59] <mezquitale> s4z3n, when you rundeluge put a "&" at the end
[04:00] <minimec> Satzo: So do I ...
[04:00] <Dreamglider> ok then, is there any way to see data streaming in to the serial port (Like with ms' hypterminal) ?
[04:00] <Ve_> minimec: i have installed smartmontools where is it
[04:00] <dylanpatterson> mezquitale,  yeah but i use it in many different areas..  what if im in an airport and dont have access to the router..?
[04:00] <Ve_> minimec alt f2 smartmontoolsdid nothing
[04:01] <Ve_> * smartmontools did nothing
[04:01] <gorgonzola> dylanpatterson: what if? you just click on the wifi icon and look for the airport SSID and connect.
[04:01] <mezquitale> dylanpatterson, you can double click on network manager, it should be somewhere in your task bar all the way to the right, if you see a network name with a little lock on it, it means it has security enabled
[04:01] <prasad> do you guys have the option to shutdown\reboot\hibernate directly from login screen  in 9.10 ?  cause i don't :(
[04:01] <Ve_> minimec: sux this
[04:02] <minimec> Ve_: /usr/sbin/smartctl
[04:02] <gorgonzola> dylanpatterson: it's the exact same behaviour as in windows machines on the road...
[04:02] <brian_> I am about ready to pull my hair out getting pulseaudio to work with Lingot or Gtkguitune has anyone gotten it to work without Jack or any other third party means?
[04:02] <s4z3n> mezquitale, nothing happened
[04:03] <mezquitale> s4z3n, you typed "deluge&" and nothing happened??
[04:03] <s4z3n> yeah
[04:03] <mezquitale> s4z3n, type "ps aux|grep deluge" to see if deluge is up and running
[04:04] <minimec> Ve_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/smartmontools/filelist
[04:04] <Ve_> minimec: it wont open
[04:04] <minimec> Ve_: sbin generally means 'sudo'...
[04:04] <Ve_> ah ok thanks
[04:05] <epinky> brian: sudo apt-get install padevchooser pavumeter pavucontrol paprefs paman
[04:05] <greezmunkey> Hello, does anyone know if it is possible to create a bootable cdrom from a boot image that was designed for a floppy disk?
[04:05] <Ve_> minimec: how do i open that as sudo
[04:05] <mezquitale> brian_, what's Lingot and Gtkguitune?
[04:06] <s4z3n> mezquitale, I retried the "deluge&"and it worked
[04:06] <minimec> Ve_: <alt>F2 gnome-terminal, then 'sudo .....'
[04:06] <brian_> mezquitale: it is a program that allows me to tune a guitar or any other instrument using my microphone
[04:07] <mezquitale> brian_, thanks for the tip, i'll install it on my ubuntustudio distro, good luck with getting your appz to work with normal ubuntu flavor
[04:07] <Ve_> minimec: ok i see its a terminal application.
[04:07] <Ve_> now whats teh hdd device string
[04:08] <Ve_> minimec: now whats teh hdd device string
[04:08] <Ve_> anyone know how to check device string/ address
[04:08] <brian_> mezquitale: actually, I am using linux mint because none of the flavors have helped me so far at all. So I always end up back here and i usually never recieve help.
[04:09] <mezquitale> brian_, have you ever tried ubuntustudio?
[04:09] <minimec> Ve_: I have no idea what you want to do. My answer was about the synaptic/software centre gui. The rest was ubuntu basics...
[04:10] <Ve_> minimec: i am wanting to use smartmontools to check my hdd that ubuntu os said was faulty ok that was what i asked ok.
[04:10] <brian_> mezquitale: I don't have a dvd drive to burn it to a disk and i don't have usb boot capability. Also, i think it suffers from the same pulseaudio problems
[04:10] <greezmunkey> heh, answered my own question: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/floppy_image_on_cd.htm
[04:12] <Ve_> minimec: is smartctl = smartmontools
[04:12] <mezquitale> brian_, sorry to hear that, i think ubuntu studio does have some problems with pulseaudio but JACK works fine, as well as ardour, hydrogen, etc. etc.  And tomorrow when I have the time I'll test lingot
[04:13] <Ve_> where are floodbot1 and floodbot2
[04:13] <prappl93> My Ubuntu 9.10 freezes when I first turn it on a little bit then when it logs in it usually goes slowly for a while then finally catches up. Firefox and other programs tend to freeze a lot though. Is there a known issue that I could fix? And, how do I prevent the "broken battery" message from showing up every time I log in?
[04:13] <morbid> I have no problems whatsoever with pulseaudio on my studio box
[04:13] <minerva> heyas
[04:14] <JonathanWinters> no
[04:14] <JonathanWinters> get out
[04:14] <hanasaki> will vbox 3.1 for ubuntu need to wait until the next spring release of ubuntu or when will it come out?
[04:14] <minimec> Ve_: I had these messages with alpha stages of karmic on my notebook. I didn't care about it and I don't have any problems now. YOu could try gparted with a graphical interface to check your disks...
[04:15] <minerva> get out?
[04:15] <minerva> who?
[04:15] <lstarnes> minerva: just ignore that person
[04:16] <mezquitale> prappl93, it could be that your machine doesnt play nice with karmic, jaunty refused to work with my desktop and laptop so i used intrepid until karmic came out, it could also be an issue with your hardware, you can try using intrepid or jaunty and see if it works on your machine
[04:16] <Ve_> gparted wont tell me if its got bad sectors minimec
[04:17] <brian_> mezquitale : Well, theoretically i could get all these apps to work if i use JACK, but i don't have a realtime kernel like Ubuntu Studio, I want this system to work the way it did back in the Fiesty days, but there is no way to revert back to esound anymore. Linux is stabbing itself in the groin by going to pulseaudio.
[04:17] <minimec> Ve_: That is true, but normally you get a fsck check all 30 mounts. If that works out and gparted recognizes your partitions....
[04:17] <Ve_> minimec: brb
[04:18] <mezquitale> brian_, you want t use the real time kernel if you want to minimize latency, it should work fine to just tune your guitar
[04:18] <minerva> must i install ubuntu from cd?
[04:18] <Raydiation> hi im looking for a program which can open MUS files (finale notepad)
[04:18] <Raydiation> finale = program
[04:18] <minerva> is there a way to install it from the download without transferring it to some other media?
[04:19] <Satzo> Raydiation, google lilypond
[04:20] <brian_> mezquitale : I would also like to use guitarix and LMMS and those do require minimal latency. I figure if i fix lingot first, i should be headed in the right direction to fix those two next.
[04:21] <mezquitale> brian_, it's going to be painful but good luck!  I actually waited to use JACK until ubuntu studio was released, in between do you know of a website that can show me the basic guitar scales?
[04:22] <Ve_> minimec: is smartctl = smartmontools
[04:22] <minimec> Ve_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/i386/smartmontools/filelist
[04:22] <Satzo> mezquitale, tons of those on the net
[04:22] <Ve_> minimec: i dont use jaunty i have karmic
[04:22] <brian_> mezquitale : I know a good site for all of your guitar learning needs. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/
[04:22] <minimec> Ve_: coesn't matter...
[04:23] <mezquitale> brian_, thanks
[04:23] <mezquitale> brian_, send me a PM
[04:23] <cj_> mzuverink, Hey Marc
[04:23] <cj_> you around
[04:24] <mzuverink> cj_, not here, us chatting is offtopic, this is the wrong forum
[04:24] <cj_> haha you linux guys

[04:26] <prappl93> Could my problems be with Compiz? I've read other people have problems with it...
[04:27] <Aruna> hi i have i have probem in my kubuntu i have instaled as dual boot with winVista i used kubuntu for a week its working find but now when i start it display a blank screen .. can anyone help me.
[04:27] <Aruna> Any one help me.
[04:27] <Satzo> Aruna, can you login as a standalone user?
[04:27] <minimec> Aruna: Di you try to load an older kernel, not just the recovery mode of the newest kernel? ;)
[04:28]  * minerva likes open source
[04:28] <minerva> ok
[04:29] <minerva> if i'm trying to install direct, unsing UNetbootin, do I send it to c drive?
[04:29] <Raydiation> Satzo: doesnt work, this thing can only produce sheets from latex files
[04:30] <Aruna> i tried ... when i boot it askes me... ubuntu     ubuntu (revovery mode ) Win Vista
[04:30] <Aruna> i choose Ubuntu
[04:30] <Satzo> Raydiation, there are a few others out there.
[04:30] <Ve_> hi how do i mount hdd sda2
[04:30] <Aruna> and in some second it displays blank screen
[04:30] <Satzo> i dont use finale so im not versed
[04:30] <Aruna> i dont get any output on the screen
[04:31] <Aruna> Ubuntu, Linux <IP_ADDRESS>   Generic
[04:31] <minerva> ok this could get ugly
[04:32] <Aruna> Is my OS Crashed ?
[04:32] <minimec> Aruna: So this is the only kernel you can choose? How did you install your system? With a normal live cd-rom?
[04:32] <Satzo> Aruna, your gui is probably screwed up i doubt the os crashed
[04:32] <minerva> it's working!.....
[04:33] <minerva> so sad that something so simple can make me so happy
[04:33] <Aruna> i downloaded the ISO and instaleld as dual boot.
[04:33] <Aruna> i later installed Kubuntu over my Ubuntu and i used for 3 days.
[04:34] <minimec> Aruna: So you started the life disk and insatalled as dual boot... During installation rocedure you had a graphical interface I guess?
[04:34] <Fizix> I've tried KDE several times but I keep going back to gnome
[04:34] <minimec> Aruna: live...
[04:35] <Aruna> hmmm
[04:35] <Raydiation> Satzo: hm seems nothing appropriate out there,  i have to go for virtualbox + xp
[04:35] <Raydiation> i hate proprietary formats
[04:35] <Aruna> yes
[04:35] <Alan502> Hi :) im trying to make a swap partition as logical in gparted live, but when i select new, i have only the option to choose primary, logicla appears in grey. How can i create a logical partition?
[04:35] <greezmunkey> heh Burning a boot floppy to a cdrom works pretty slick :)
[04:35] <Aruna> minimec, yes  but now when i select same option its displaying me blank screen instead of login screen.
[04:35] <ChogyDan> Alan502: can you make an extended partition?
[04:36] <minimec> Aruna: So after installation you rebooted and you had a boot otpion Linux or windows. Is that correct?
[04:36] <Aruna> minimec, yes
[04:36] <Alan502> ChogyDan: i can make a primary partition, but not a logical
[04:36] <Satzo> Alan502, you have a primary part already defined??
[04:36] <con6> if using LAN server such as university LAN, how to open port that being block?
[04:36] <Aruna> minimec i have 8 options.
[04:36] <Alan502> ChogyDan: i cant make an extended
[04:36] <ChogyDan> Alan502: can you make an extended partition?
[04:36] <ChogyDan> mk
[04:36] <Alan502> ChogyDan: i can only make primary partitions
[04:36] <minimec> Aruna: 8 options ...
[04:37] <minimec> Aruna: what kind of options?
[04:37] <Alan502> Satzo: yes, i have three primary partitions, do i need to define first where should the logicla partition go?
[04:37] <Aruna> minimec, ubuntu  generic , ubuntu generic (recovery),  ubuntu  generic , ubuntu generic (recovery) , memtest, memtest  , win Vista d 1  win visit d2
[04:38] <Aruna> minimec, these are the options i am getting in the booting option.
[04:38] <Aruna> minimec, i am just running the Memtest86  v2.11
[04:38] <minimec> Aruna: As I see, you have two kernel and two recovery(kernel) options. Try to boot with the lower (older) kernel number.
[04:38] <ChogyDan> Alan502: it might be that you can only have one extended partition (the one where logicals go)
[04:38] <con6> if using LAN server such as university LAN, how to open port that being block?
[04:39] <Aruna> minimec, i tried both :(
[04:39] <Aruna> minimec, i tried in both kurnal and both recovery mode.,
[04:39] <Alan502> ChogyDan: oh, i see. Now i realize that i do have one extended partition, but that extended partition has all its space occupied with a single primary partition, how can i move it out of there?
[04:39] <minimec> Aruna: If you boot the cd you used to install the system. Does that cd boot normally?
[04:40] <Aruna> minimec, when in the time of installation yes.
[04:40] <Aruna> minimec, i dont get any problem at the time of installation.
[04:40] <minimec> Aruna: And now?
[04:40] <Alan502> ChogyDan: that way i could use my only extended partition for what i am trying to do
[04:40] <Aruna> minimec, i run the system for a weak with no issues. hmmmmmmmm
[04:41] <Aruna> minimec, wait... i think i run the WinVista upgrade... will that cause probelm ?
[04:41] <Aruna> minimec, vista upgraded 4 patches.... will that cose any probem in booting of ubuntu ?
[04:41] <SuperMiguel> whats the best way to get flash working in ubuntu 9.10 64 bit?
[04:41] <gorgonzola> Aruna: it could
[04:41] <Aruna> :((
[04:42] <minimec> Aruna: Well... I guess not, because the maste boot was not touched. You still get the boot options of grub.
[04:42] <Aruna> then i better remove my win completely :))
[04:42] <firefly2442> why doesn't the battery applet show the time left in my battery or the time left to charge to full? (9.10)
[04:42] <gorgonzola> but if its just that, its easy to fix, if you know what you are doing :)
[04:42] <Aruna> minimec, yes i do get the boot option...
[04:42] <baitmue_> 我曰哦，全是说英文的？
[04:42] <Aruna> minimec, but still i am gettign Empty screen.
[04:42] <baitmue_> 第一次进来，有没有进错啊，是中文ubuntu吗
[04:42] <gorgonzola> mmm, shouldn't be necessary. try to see if that's the problem. i lack the expertise, but you should be able to boot from a live cd and chroot into your old systems...
[04:43] <gorgonzola> or at least see if the files are all there.
[04:43] <gorgonzola> but then again, it depends a lot on what the box is sayng when you try to boot...
[04:43] <BluesKaj> !cn | baitmue_
[04:43] <minimec> Aruna: When you choose recovery, can you get a console mode?
[04:44] <Aruna> minimec, no again blank screen.
[04:44] <SuperMiguel> whats the best way to get flash working in ubuntu 9.10 64 bit?
[04:44] <minimec> Aruna: Vista could have ..cked it up...
[04:44] <gorgonzola> blank? no error message from grub, nothing?
[04:44] <Aruna> visit is working GOOD lol
[04:44] <Aruna> nothing.. just a blank black screen.
[04:44] <gorgonzola> Aruna that's weird, i had seen something similar the other way around :P
[04:44] <Aruna> Vista
[04:45] <minimec> Aruna: 9.04 or 9.10?
[04:45] <gorgonzola> well, are your volumes there? your files?
[04:45] <Aruna> 9.10
[04:45] <Alan502> Hi, i have a single primary partition occuping all my space from my single extended partition, for some reason i dont know. Im trying to move the whole primary partition out of my extended partition, how can i do this with gparted live?
[04:45] <gorgonzola> you should start by checking that...
[04:45] <Aruna> i have 2 drive
[04:45] <baitmue_> 就没一个人说中文？
[04:45] <gorgonzola> Alan502 you can't have a primary partition inside an extended partition.
[04:45] <Aruna> Visita in one and vista recovery and Ubuntu in another
[04:45] <Alan502> Hi, i have a single primary partition occuping all my space from my single extended partition, for some reason i dont know. Im trying to move the whole primary partition out of my extended partition, how can i do this with gparted live?
[04:46] <Satzo> Alan502, dont flood.
[04:46] <gorgonzola> Alan502 you can't have a primary partition inside an extended partition.
[04:46] <SuperMiguel> any one successfully using this : http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_64bit.html
[04:46] <Alan502> gorgonzola: it might be a logical then, how can i move it?
[04:46] <gorgonzola> Alan502: im not sure, but i don't think thats possible. you need to copy it, in any case.
[04:46] <Alan502> Satzo: sorry it was not intentional
[04:47] <Aruna> hmmm
[04:47] <Aruna> i dont knwo what to do now
[04:47] <minimec> Aruna: never tried that with 9.10, as krmic uses grub2. Could be, that your master boot was somehow modified... (I am not sure). Grub is  loading, but noe of our otions are working... Is that correct?
[04:47] <Raydiation> is that ext4 data corruption issue with huge files solved?
[04:47] <Aruna> remove both completely and install ubuntu
[04:47] <Alan502> >.< ok thanks :) i think i can with a windows utility, i'll try
[04:47] <gorgonzola> Aruna: it might not help... but you should begin by checking to see if the corect volumes are "still there".
[04:47] <minimec> Aruna: Can you load the win partition?
[04:47] <Aruna> yes
[04:47] <Aruna> yes
[04:47] <Aruna> i can get Vista working
[04:47] <MaXlMuS> hello guys
[04:48] <gorgonzola> Aruna it could be the case that vista messed with the partition map in the mbr or something like that, and grub is unable to find /boot...
[04:48] <Aruna> when i select any Ubuntu option i cant get any scree3n.
[04:48] <Aruna> can i drop both and install only Ubuntu ?
[04:48] <gorgonzola> Aruna if that's the case, but you gotta make sure, then it is possible to restore your boot setup, rather painlessly.
[04:49] <gorgonzola> Aruna, its your box, you can delete everything and install plan9 or ITS as far as i know :P
[04:49] <Aruna> lolol
[04:49] <Aruna> its laptop and i dont like windows.
[04:49] <Satzo> Alan502: np.
[04:49] <gorgonzola> Aruna but it sounds a little harsh if its just a problem of volume mapping.
[04:49] <Aruna> lol yaa :)
[04:49] <gorgonzola> Aruna which in the 90% of boot issues, it is.
[04:50] <Aruna> i dont have any main data in the laptop... and i dont like dual boot.. i may download Kubuntu and use it like windows.
[04:50] <minimec> Aruna: Well... Recovery mode should give you a console mode. If not... there is something wrong. You tried both kernels... You don't get a cpnsoel or a graphocal interface...
[04:50] <gorgonzola> Aruna, now the problem, is that the specifics of the problem are hard to triage/troubleshoot from an irc channel... and unless you know what you are doing, it could be hard to find the error.
[04:50] <Aruna> i dont like Windows :(
[04:50] <minimec> Aruna: That's odd ...
[04:51] <Aruna> but the probem is mainly with dual booting rihgt ?
[04:51] <Aruna> i am sure i properly shuddown Ubuntu.
[04:51] <gorgonzola> minimerc: if the only thing after selecting a kernel in grub is a blank screen, then nothing is getting started beyond grub.
[04:51] <Aruna> i dont get any thing GUI or terminal mode.
[04:52] <Aruna> its blank screen.
[04:52] <gorgonzola> Aruna: it could be a number of things. that's why you should start by checking if your partitions are still in the disks.
[04:52] <Aruna> how to check it ?
[04:52] <Aruna> from windows ?
[04:52] <gorgonzola> Aruna if they are, and even more, if you can access the files from say, a live cd or something, then there's no reason to think that there's a problem in the actual os, but just in the bootloader.
[04:52] <gorgonzola> the easiest way would be to load a live cd and try to mount them
[04:53] <gorgonzola> windows will not b able to read or handle your linux partitions
[04:53] <Aruna> can i use the CD i burnt from ISO ?
[04:54] <minimec> Aruna: Yes you can.
[04:54] <CodeMunkey> ok, so i have a USB bluetooth dongle that is confirmed to work with linux (already sync'd my bb to it on another PC).  How can I get it to sync with my bluetooth headset?
[04:54] <gorgonzola> Aruna yes. that is a live cd.
[04:54] <zerq> disk manager in windows should at least show the linux partitions, but it will probably just say "unknown" or something
[04:54] <Aruna> i will try today evening i dont have cd now lol... but what should i do with thi.. first i put cd in drive and boot...
[04:54] <gorgonzola> now... if you find something to hold your hand, you could even try to boot into that, and chroot into your system....
[04:54] <Aruna> then ?
[04:54] <gorgonzola> Aruna but i have only seen it done, never done it on my own...
[04:54] <gorgonzola> :(
[04:55] <Satzo> CodeMunkey, http://www.bluez.org/
[04:55] <gorgonzola> Aruna: you put the cd in the tray... it should show a menu. choose the option "try ubuntu" or something like that.
[04:55] <CodeMunkey> Satzo: i have it, it loads the icon, i load device search, but it doesn't tell me when it's scanning or anything so i can't tell what's going wrong
[04:56] <Satzo> is the bluetooth manager running on your ubuntu installation?
[04:56] <Satzo> i dont have any bt devices so i cant help very much
[04:56] <gorgonzola> Aruna: in any case, what you want to do is go into the live cd environment, and see if your partitions are still there. if they are, try to mount them. if they mount, try to acces some files, see if everything looks fine.
[04:56] <Aruna> gorgonzola, then ?
[04:56] <gorgonzola> Aruna a thorough test would involve trying to load the old system from the live cd, but that might be too complicated.
[04:57] <gorgonzola> Aruna IF everything is in order... then you can be certain that the problem is in the bootloader :)
[04:57] <gorgonzola> Aruna if that's the case, it should be simple to fix it... but then it gets foggy, as the problems in the bootloader that could cause your symptons sound a little esoteric.
[04:57] <Aruna> gorgonzola, tooo technical.. better kill Windows and install U/Kubuntu lol
[04:58] <gorgonzola> Aruna: kk, was just trying to save your files... i know its simple to do if you have the skill, but it can sound intimidating if you have no experience with this kind of things.
[04:59] <minimec> gorgonzola: "little esoteric" was a nice way to describe it...
[04:59] <AlcohPoison1390> hey im trying to recover some data from a scratched CD, what are some good ubuntu programs for data recovery?
[04:59] <gorgonzola> Aruna: anyway... good luck :)
[04:59] <Aruna> :( i am new to installation of ubuntu and troubleshooting :(
[04:59] <gorgonzola> minimerc: well, it is :S grub normally cries a lot when it cant find the damn kernel...
[04:59] <dibblego> why does my machine reboot perpetually after a fresh 32-bit karmic install with nvidia drivers?
[05:00] <Satzo> AlcohPoison1390, did you do anything to the CD yet? im asking for a good reason
[05:00] <AlcohPoison1390> well its a friend of mines and he dropped his xbox and there is a scratch all the way around
[05:01] <Satzo> ok...
[05:01] <AlcohPoison1390> it still runs, but it shuts off after a while
[05:01] <AlcohPoison1390> so im thinking that the data is recoverable, but the disc is too badly damaged to work
[05:01] <Satzo> if you have some turtle wax handy, polish the disc before you try data recovery.  if you can, use a drive you dont care about(like an old cdrom or dvd rom drive).  if you dont have turtle wax, wd-40 or pam spray will do
[05:01] <Satzo> i assume you are making a copy of the disc?
[05:02] <AlcohPoison1390> yes
[05:02] <minimec> gorgonzola: I am not used to this new grub2 thing yet, and the old 'mate' cried "Grub Error 17" or something...
[05:02] <Aruna> gorgonzola, if i need to install only ubuntu..  i have 2 particiion in my laptop. when installeing if i tell use completely will ubuntu removes 2 partition to one ?
[05:02] <Satzo> good. because i wouldnt use a disc after the recipe i mentioned in an xbox
[05:02] <Satzo> ive had good luck polishing the surface,... the principle is the same as waxing a car
[05:02] <AlcohPoison1390> ok, but are you saying that after i polish it it will work?
[05:02] <AlcohPoison1390> i mean
[05:02] <Satzo> it should
[05:02] <AlcohPoison1390> in an xbox
[05:02] <Satzo> polish it, then copy it
[05:03] <Satzo> no dont use in the xbox.. unless you wana risk  it
[05:03] <Satzo> i mentioned an old reader for a reason
[05:03] <AlcohPoison1390> cant i try to copy it first so that if i mess it up then ill have the data at least?
[05:03] <Satzo> i would
[05:03] <Satzo> copy first
[05:03] <AlcohPoison1390> ok, so whats a good recovery program?
[05:04] <CodeMunkey> any ideas re: getting bluetooth to pair?  http://tons.pastebin.com/d1082b724
[05:04] <Satzo> try my method first, you might not need a recovery app
[05:04] <Satzo> your goal is a 1:1 copy, not recovered error-prone data
[05:04] <AlcohPoison1390> ok ill try that then
