[14:24] <nareshk> Ok

[14:24] <jrib> nareshk: to install gtk themes you just use System -> Preferences -> Appearance

[14:24] <jonzbcc> _raven_, are you sure you dont' have any other access to the machine? i don't beleive you can transfer  files via ssh alone

[14:25] <torkel_> I'm trying to setup an openvpn tunnel (tunnel) on my gateway to a remote server of mine and force all local clients to use that connection for their internet uplink. I'm using iptables on the local server and the remote server; the local subnet get ping reply from internet hosts, but anything else fails. Anybody got any suggestion?
[14:25] <jrib> rek: https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[14:25] <gis_89> !list
[14:25] <datta> khensthoth: only this one only
[14:25] <jrib> MrSunshine: use a for loop
[14:25] <sp0spo> for resolv.conf   , can i add any host IP  .... at the top of the list?   similar to windows's host file?

[14:25] <Newbuntu36> how do I install picasa on 9.10? the instructions I found are from 2007...
[14:25] <datta> khensthoth: i actually installed it last time because my spell check didn't work and someone said reinstalling it might work
[14:25] <nareshk> it says "aero" does not appear to be a valid theme.
[14:26] <nareshk> when i try to install
[14:26] <mac_> does anybody know Arduino?
[14:26] <bazhang> mac_, dont repeat so quickly
[14:26] <jrib> mac_: how is your question realted to ubuntu?
[14:26] <MrSunshine> jrib, no there is a single command that resizes and saves to same as input format
[14:26] <erUSUL> MrSunshine: for file in *.jpeg; do mogrify [optionstoresize] "$file"; done
[14:26] <nareshk> But it's a GTK theme
[14:26] <MrSunshine> its the command i want
[14:26] <phyrrus> Newbuntu36, I can show you my PM
[14:26] <MrSunshine> mogrify
[14:26] <MrSunshine> there it is :)
[14:26] <jonzbcc> Newbuntu36, did you try synaptic first?
[14:26] <FloodBot2> MrSunshine: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:26] <mrXX> khensthoth when i lower the volume the engine like sound goes down, but it still doesnt record
[14:26] <erUSUL> MrSunshine: if the files are jpeg if they are not adjust the4 glob pattern
[14:26] <khensthoth> datta: Hold on. There might be a package you need to install. Let me search for it.
[14:26] <jrib> MrSunshine: that's a for loop...
[14:26] <Newbuntu36> jonzbcc: I didn't find it in synaptic
[14:26] <datta> khensthoth: okay thank you

[14:27] <selecta_g> Can anyone help me install Netbook Remix? I cannot get the correct screen res during install (1024x600) - the screen during install is unreadable
[14:27] <jrib> mac_: so ask your real question
[14:27] <mrXX> khensthoth here is what i think is happening so far - when i increase the vol of mic in alsa, my speaker produces tic-tic like sound and that sound gets recorded with the internal mic
[14:27] <nareshk> it says "aero" does not appear to be a valid theme.
[14:27] <jrib> nareshk: then it isn't a valid theme
[14:27] <nareshk> are you sure? it's a GTK theme
[14:27] <nareshk> is there a different way to install GTK Themes?
[14:28] <mac_> i' m making a touchscreen interface that is composed by Arduino, a touchscreen and now i need to get the code in c c++ that could simulate mouse movements
[14:28] <jrib> nareshk: usually it's because it wasn't packaged up correctly.  In that case extract only the gtk theme to ~/.themes/
[14:28] <mac_> i know xdotool
[14:28] <jonzbcc> Newbuntu36, these are the instructions you found? http://picasa.google.com/linux/download.html#picasa30
[14:28] <nareshk> ok
[14:28] <khensthoth> datta: Is openoffice.org-style-human and openoffice.org-gnome installed?
[14:28] <erUSUL> mac_: too complex/advanced topic for this channel
[14:28] <lars_bauer> installing JGR i R fails with In install.packages("JGR") : package ‘JGR’ is not available
[14:28] <erUSUL> mac_: look for a xorg dev channel or mailing list
[14:28] <groovvy> hello ppl. i got a strange problem. when i run some programs like open office etc. on my screen cracked shaped black lines suddenly appears. anyone knows why?
[14:28] <jrib> lars_bauer: what do you want to accomplish?
[14:29] <mac_> ahah
[14:29] <khensthoth> mrXX: Open the Sound Preferences. Is the correct input device chosen there?
[14:29] <mac_> sorry ;-)
[14:29] <ManDay> Is there some program/gnome applet which offers real fancy drawers to have on the desktop?
[14:29] <Newbuntu36> jonzbcc: yes
[14:29] <grasshopper> frogzoo, sandgorgon thanks again for your help, have a good one.
[14:29] <mac_> #arduino
[14:29] <lars_bauer> java gui in the statistical packgage R
[14:29] <datta> khensthoth: openoffice.org-gnome is not installed
[14:29] <relic420> whats a good website for gnome themes?
[14:29] <datta> khensthoth: should i install that?
[14:29] <khensthoth> datta: Yup. See if that helps.
[14:29] <bazhang> relic420, gnome-look.org
[14:30] <thedarkthoughts> hello
[14:30] <mrXX> khensthoth i have only one choice - but i have seen that the mic referred to by the alsa-mixer and the sound preference are different
[14:30] <thedarkthoughts> :D
[14:30] <WizardOfOz_> dark thoughts
[14:30] <WizardOfOz_> that's sick
[14:30] <AceKing> Is there a separate channel for Ubuntu One?
[14:30] <thedarkthoughts> What sick in it??
[14:30] <WizardOfOz_> I dont think so AceKing
[14:30] <mrXX> khensthoth increasing recording volume in sound preference doesn't affect the alsa-mixer setting
[14:30] <WizardOfOz_> But ask AceKing
[14:30] <AceKing> I'm having a problem when I start Ubuntu One. It has a red "X" through the icon in the taskbar. When I click on it, it errors out. I tried sending an error report and I got an email that says there was an update that fixed this problem, but I'm still getting the red "X". Anyone know how to fix this?
[14:30] <relic420> GTK 2.0 themes?
[14:31] <bazhang> AceKing, #ubuntuone
[14:31] <khensthoth> mrXX: In alsamixer there are three tabs - Playback, Record and All. Are you setting the MIC volume under the right tab?
[14:31] <datta> khensthoth: installed it but still does not help
[14:31] <AceKing> bashang, Thank you!!
[14:32] <khensthoth> datta: Play around in the Tools > Options > View or Appearance see if there are any options to change
[14:32] <thedarkthoughts> anyway, any one know how i can get Beryl for ubuntu 9.04
[14:32] <jrib> !beryl | thedarkthoughts
[14:32] <jrib> thedarkthoughts: whatever you are reading, it's incredibly outdated
[14:32] <jonzbcc> Newbuntu36, still there?
[14:33] <ManDay> I'm looking for a gnome-applet sortof which is like a drawer I can drop real fancy things in. like huge thumbnails and such. any idea?
[14:33] <thedarkthoughts> Yeah but my graphic doesn't support Compiz :(
[14:33] <datta> khensthoth: looks like i just have one theme called Openoffice.org, wasn't there supposed to be more like gnome human and stuff?
[14:33] <thedarkthoughts> Is there an application like Visual Studio for Ubuntu 9.04
[14:33] <thedarkthoughts> ??
[14:33] <darek_> elo
[14:34] <thedarkthoughts> hi
[14:34] <khensthoth> datta: If you are talking about the scheme under Appearance, I too only have OpenOffice.org. Yet mine look fine.
[14:35] <datta> khensthoth: ohh
[14:35] <thedarkthoughts> huh.....anyone knows any application like Visual Studio for ubuntu 9.04 ??
[14:35] <Newbuntu36> jonzbcc: yes - but phyrrus just walked me through the install
[14:35] <khensthoth> datta: Wait.
[14:35] <jonzbcc> newbuntu3 oh great. lol
[14:36] <khensthoth> datta: Is openoffice.org-gtk installed?
[14:36] <datta> khensthoth:  yes it is also installed
[14:36] <thedarkthoughts> :( feeling so ignored...damn it :(
[14:36] <mrXX> khensthoth i have a feeling the internal mic is trying to record whatever there is in the speaker but it very poor quality
[14:37] <groovvy> hello ppl. i got a strange problem. when i run some programs like open office etc. on my screen cracked shaped black lines suddenly appears. anyone knows why?
[14:37] <datta> thedarkthoughts: isn't visual studio for windows only?
[14:37] <andy> thedarkthoughts: Eclipse, Code::Blocks, Anjuta, Vim, Emacs, any other IDE?
[14:37] <bazhang> !equivalents | thedarkthoughts check here
[14:37] <luist> how do i make my compiz work? it was working before i install karmic
[14:37] <grawity> datta: That's why he was asking for something similar.
[14:37] <mrXX> khensthoth what is the difference between mic and capture?
[14:38] <datta> grawity: yes bazhang gave him the link, the right one
[14:38] <mrXX> when i mute the capture in alsa-mixer, the input volume in sound pref gets unmuted
[14:38] <thedarkthoughts> ok thx guys
[14:38] <thedarkthoughts> :D
[14:39] <khensthoth> mrXX: Hold on.
[14:39] <relic420> where do i put font files?
[14:39] <nareshk> where do i put font files?
[14:39] <rek> what's the name of my server?
[14:39] <nareshk> hey relic420 we have the same question
[14:39] <relic420> lol
[14:39] <erUSUL> !fonts
[14:40] <rek> jonzbcc:
[14:40] <rek> hei
[14:40] <jonzbcc> phyrrus, how did you install the public key for apt's use? I found this but its useless for the command line: http://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ubuntu704.html
[14:40] <khensthoth> mrXX: Capture in alsamixer is what you what to capture. On my brother's Acer Aspire, I have it set to around 52, otherwise the static gets too high.
[14:40] <jonzbcc> rek, yes?
[14:41] <rek> what's the name of my server?
[14:41] <datta> all right, if that cannot be fixed can anyone tell me if they have problem with openoffice fixing their spelling, mine doesn't work on that either
[14:41] <rapha> trying to install grub on the partition directly but it says "auto-detection of a filesystem module failed" - how to fi that?
[14:41] <jonzbcc> localhost probably. you can type `uname -a` at t he command line and seethe second field
[14:41] <jrib> datta: make sure correct language is selected
[14:42] <Tiders> Has anyone ever heard of (in ubuntu jaunty) a DVD drive reading fine but wont burn?
[14:42] <rek> heiii
[14:42] <tsimpson> jonzbcc: 'uname -n' to get just that part
[14:42] <rek> i dn't understand
[14:42] <mrXX> khensthoth ok, i made it low, now the static sound doesn't play back but nothing gets recorded as well
[14:42] <tsimpson> or use the "hostname" command
[14:42] <jonzbcc> tsimpson, thanks - i don't htink he's reading my message anyway
[14:42] <jonzbcc> rek, do you know how to get to the terminal?
[14:43] <rek> :-)
[14:43] <thevishy> I am going to install http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html#374

[14:43] <datta> all right, something weird happened and everything is fixed, after restarting openoffice
[14:44] <datta> thank you everyone for helping me
[14:44] <khensthoth> mrXX: Open your Sound Preference, go to the Input tab. Tab on your Internal Mic and see if the volume meter changes
[14:44] <thevishy> i.e xampp software for web administration
[14:44] <Roasted> hey guys, did anybody update their linux boxes last night and suddenly have no connection? My work laptop (wireless) and desktop (wired) wont get an address now...

[14:44] <mrXX> khensthoth when i change the inpur volume in sound pref - the capture volume goes up and down
[14:44] <mrXX> khensthoth should the mic in alsa be mute?
[14:45] <Flo`> Hallo
[14:45] <Dink> Roasted, try running dhclient and see if that reconnects you
[14:45] <thevishy> ubottu, by LAMP stack do u mean install apache , MySql PHP independently
[14:45] <Roasted> dink - what, is that a command in terminal?
[14:45] <littlegreen> I get "Failed to parse existing X config file 'etc/X11/xorg.conf'! When I change my monitor's resolution and refresh rate... and they are scrambled everytime I reboot.... can any1 tell me how to deal with this?
[14:45] <Dink> Roasted, yes
[14:46] <khensthoth> mrXX: Under the Playback tab in alsamixer, yes. Under the Capture tab in alsamixer, no.
[14:46] <AceKing> How can I list my hard drives,  if I want to see where Ubuntu was installed... for example, sda1, sda2 and so on?
[14:46] <thevishy> lol
[14:46] <thevishy> bazhang, , by LAMP stack do u mean install apache , MySql PHP independently
[14:46] <jackyboy633> littlegreen: Have you tried running xorgconfig?

[14:46] <Roasted> same thing on my laptop too

[14:46] <bazhang> thevishy, did you read the link?
[14:46] <Roasted> WTF did ubuntu do with their updates?

[14:46] <Tiders> Hello when I go to burn a DVD with my drive this is the error log I get http://pastebin.com/m9d0484c but reading disks works fine with the very same drive... Im running an Intel Core i7 processor 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM and an Asus P6T SE motherboard
[14:46] <bazhang> Roasted, watch the language
[14:46] <ManDay> what package do i need to enable volumne control via FN-keys
[14:46] <ManDay> ?
[14:47] <Roasted> bazhang - excuse me?
[14:47] <jonzbcc> aceking, the command df -ah is what i usually use - im not sure if they `a` is critical though
[14:47] <littlegreen> jackyboy633, not yet, I alter the res and refresh rate through NVidia's X Server settings app
[14:47] <AceKing> jonzbcc, Thank you, that was easy
[14:47] <Roasted> bazhang - is this a kindergarten hangout here or something?
[14:47] <bazhang> Roasted, cursing is not acceptable here, so please desist.
[14:47] <Confuzius> kinda off topic, but does anyone know of a network manager replacement like WICD but for windows?
[14:47] <ManDay> Whenever I click volume settings I get a message "waiting for sound system"
[14:47] <jackyboy633> i cant help u, i have an ati graphics card!
[14:47] <bazhang> Confuzius, ##windows for windows questions
[14:47] <Roasted> bazhang - I didn't swear. But hey - I appreciate the tip, brosef.
[14:47] <mrXX> khensthoth i dont see any playback tab in the alsamixer though
[14:48] <thedarkthoughts> Hello again
[14:48] <Roasted> dink - this is weird bro, my desktop is grabbing an IP of .12 and my laptop is grabbing an IP of .10, but the last octet from my router is always 3 digits.
[14:48] <thedarkthoughts> Well is there any channel for hackers???
[14:48] <jherraez> lol
[14:48] <khensthoth> mrXX: You can switch tab in alsamixer by pressing the tab button on your keyboard. In alsamixer, see the row "View:" which is highlighted. That will tell you which tab you are.
[14:49] <Dink> Roasted, that basically releases/renews your dhcp lease. So whatever your router/switch has free it will give it that address.
[14:49] <Roasted> dink - that aint makin sense bro, my router supports up to 50 IPs from what I understand, and these 2 machines arent getting them
[14:50] <AceKing> jonzbcc, What if I wanted to see all drives and what they were formatted to? Another example.. sda1 ext4 sda2 swap etc
[14:50] <Roasted> the only thing I can think of is I updated both machines last night
[14:50] <mrXX> khensthoth oh yeah, i never saw that , thanks
[14:50] <thevishy> bazhang, i already installed apache2 php and mysql manually , now I tried sudo tasksel install lamp-server , but it goes to install window ( it opens some text based gui )and then quits immediately
[14:51] <Dink> Roasted, Is it just those two machines that can't connect on the route ? Are there other machines on the router that do connect ?
[14:51] <khensthoth> mrXX: =) As I said, When you want to adjust the volume for Input, go to the Capture tab. Don't mess with anything in the Playback tab.
[14:51] <jonzbcc> aceking command line - i'm not sure. i know you can look at one of the guis - like disk utility under system
[14:51] <mrXX> khensthoth thank you so much !!!!!! yeah , it is working!!!!!!!after a month of seeking help!!!
[14:51] <mrXX> khensthoth now i dont have to go back to windows anymore
[14:51] <khensthoth> mrXX: Got sound through your mic now?
[14:51] <Roasted> dink - this has to be a router thing...
[14:51] <Roasted> dink - my vista partition is grabbing the .12 IP too...
[14:51] <Roasted> dink -w onder wt* happened...

[14:54] <phyrrus> jonzbcc: pm
[14:54] <ManDay> When I click "Volume Control" in "Preferences" a popup comes up informing me that I'm "waiting for the sound system to respon". Besides, I cannot control volume with my Fn-keys. What additional package do I need?
[14:55] <jonzbcc> phyrrus  - i'm okay with that - idk how though, you'll ahve to message ?me?
[14:55] <phyrrus> done..

[15:00] <ManDay> darn it

[15:01] <Lungan> How do i unmute master with amixer?

[15:03] <khensthoth> ManDay: Cool =)
[15:03] <relic420> what is the default root password on ubuntu?
[15:03] <ziiiipy> !ics
[15:03] <Abueleitor> thanks for all your replies. :)
[15:04] <clayfu> relic420 - by default there isn't a root account. The first user you created will have sudo access. sudo ls, it will ask for your password and give root access for that command
[15:04] <clayfu> man sudo
[15:04] <jrib> !root | relic420, clayfu
[15:04] <Abueleitor> someone here uses ubuntu for powerpc?
[15:04] <erUSUL> !powerpc
[15:05] <jrib> Abueleitor: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[15:05] <X-Seti> some muppet on this channel has been trying to send me a Keylogger (win32), lame as its a linux channel.
[15:05] <Abueleitor> ok
[15:05] <erUSUL> X-Seti: report in #ubuntu-ops
[15:05] <CkhiKuzad> why did freenode-connect version me?
[15:05] <nightshade> I just saw a really good looking netbook (toshiba NB205-N312/BL) and I want to know if anyone knows how easy it is to get ubuntu running on it (comes with winXP home)
[15:05] <X-Seti> ill report it to the network admin, (IRC)
[15:05] <Roasted> dink - you still here man
[15:05] <relic420> ok, question, i am in directory themes, how do i copy everything in the folder to lets say /home/relic/themes via command?
[15:06] <Abueleitor> !ubuntu.
[15:06] <jrib> CkhiKuzad: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#freenodeconnect
[15:06] <Abueleitor> !powerpc
[15:06] <Roasted> if only powerpc had a flash version that worked with linux, I'd have it on my old powerpc mac soooooooo fast...
[15:07] <Abueleitor> thx, i will try to download the new version :D
[15:07] <CkhiKuzad> jrib i wikipedia'ed the irc thing, i understand what it did now
[15:07] <nightshade> I just saw a really good looking netbook (toshiba NB205-N312/BL) and I want to know if anyone knows how easy it is to get ubuntu running on it (comes with winXP home)
[15:07] <zouhair> hi, "crontab -l" shows the crontab file, but is there a command to tell me at what momment a certain line will get executed?
[15:07] <rethus> does ubuntu have gstreamer as standard-audio-device instead of alsa or oss ???
[15:07] <clayfu> thanks jrib, I am well aware of this. If I run UpdateManager, it will ask for "your password", using gksudo, and that works. But some authentications say instead "enter the ROOT password" and it will not accept mine
[15:07] <john1> did latest ubuntu update this morning now my screen is nothing but black when I boot. can boot, just no graphics! help?
[15:07] <relic420> how do i install ubuntulooks engine?
[15:08] <CkhiKuzad> john1 when you boot up does it look like a black terminal window with white text?
[15:08] <ziiiipy> is there a tutorial on setting up a shared connection with only one wireless card?
[15:08] <relic420> nevermind, got it.
[15:08] <steve__> wookie185
[15:09] <john1> no it is just black all the sounds play and it logs in all the way cause I can hear it but no graphics
[15:09] <nightshade> ziiiipy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370
[15:09] <rethus> does ubuntu have gstreamer as standard-audio-device instead of alsa or oss ?
[15:09] <nightshade> google exists
[15:09] <CkhiKuzad> hmm john
[15:09] <dslayter> Guess I'm just going to reinstall the operating system as there are too many issues.
[15:10] <john1> was working perfect so something in this upgrade went wrong
[15:10] <CkhiKuzad> john1, try doing ctrl+alt+f1, it will take you to a terminal login (all black with white text) log in as root, if someone knows the name of the GNOME process, that will help. you need to stop X11, then once you have do startx
[15:11] <simplexio> john1: sounds like something went wrong on updating xorg packages, attleast those are in update queue in my computer
[15:11] <erUSUL> rethus: gstreamer is not an audio device
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> ziiiipy: if you are using ISC you need 2 devices, you will need to use a wired connection or buy another wifi adapter
[15:12] <simplexio> john1: and try CkhiKuzad advice, login, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop , then try startx if its working
[15:12] <fornext> Can someone help me with Ubutnu 9.10 and Multiseat? This is what I found in the Ubuntu-Dokumentation: "Setting up a multi-seat machine "manually" does not work any more (for 9.10) because gdm 2.28 does not use /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom . If you switch to gdm 2.20 all will work like with 9.04" (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX)
[15:13] <hever> Hej must I use a propritary driver for a Realtek 8192 SE Wlan card or are there fre ones ?
[15:13] <adac> Can somoen tell me how to start ubuntu in console mode? How can i tell gdm not to load?
[15:13] <hever> (BTW I hope I have a RTL8192E because my system can't tell it)
[15:14] <ziiiipy> ActionParsnip: not so
[15:14] <ziiiipy> it mentions that you don't have to have to have 2 wireless cards
[15:14] <simplexio> adac: hit esc when grub start and select recovery mode
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> ziiiipy: you cna create 2 sub devices on the single physical wifi interface. It'll run like a do though
[15:15] <adac> simplexio, well I wanted to boot console on every reboot automatically
[15:15] <raub> I have a usb printer. When I connect to my 9.04 laptop I can see it in lsusb. But when I connect it to any of the usb ports in my 9.10 desktop, I can't see it in lsub but do see it in dmesg. How come?
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> ziiiipy: you'd have wlan0:0 and wlan0:1   http://www.wantlinux.net/2009/04/ubuntu-subinterfaces/
[15:16] <simplexio> adac: ah.. then remove gdm from /etc/rcS.d/ i think,
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> s/do/dog
[15:16] <grot> raub: 9.10 is out, get on the train already will'ya
[15:16] <adac> simplexio, Can you may tell me how to do that?
[15:17] <raub> grot: as you read in my question, the desktop is running 9:10.
[15:17] <simplexio> adac: i think "right" way is to use upgrade-rc.d, but i just usually just rm init.d scripts from rcX.d
[15:17] <rethus> how can i check which soundserver in ubuntu still run?
[15:17] <petur_> Hi, having some strange problems with my ubuntu workstation after upgrading to 9.10. Mounting of the root filesystem and my /home seams to fail randomly at boot
[15:17] <adac> simplexio, hmm actually gdm isn't even in /etc/rcS.d/
[15:17] <rethus> erUSUL how can i check which soundserver in ubuntu still run?
[15:18] <jrib> adac, simplexio: for sysv init scripts, the "right" way is to use bum or sysv-rc-conf
[15:18] <charnel> Anyone knows a good description of possible running processes ?? What is compiz.real for example
[15:18] <erUSUL> rethus: ubuntu runs/uses pulseaudio since hardy/intrepid
[15:18] <CkhiKuzad> does anyone recommend i upgrade my ubuntu? or is the upgrade still buggy?
[15:18] <jrib> !compiz | charnel
[15:18] <adac> jrib, simplexio Hey guys stop! I'm already confused^^
[15:18] <jrib> CkhiKuzad: upgrade what to what?
[15:18] <CkhiKuzad> 9.04 to 9.10
[15:18] <petur_> CkhiKuzad, i've been havins serious problems with 9.10, it won't always mount my drives at boot
[15:18] <CkhiKuzad> jrib
[15:18] <jrib> adac: just run sysv-rc-conf and untick gdm from runlevel 2
[15:19] <CkhiKuzad> ah, well then im not upgrading
[15:19] <rethus> erUSUL: so i have asterisk as telephone-server... which per default set to oss... and it runs... ohow can this be?
[15:19] <adac> jrib, I'll go and try that out
[15:19] <jrib> CkhiKuzad: if 9.04 is working for you then you don't need to upgrade
[15:19] <CkhiKuzad> not until i get my brother to come over to help me make a livecd
[15:19] <CkhiKuzad> jrib, im not upgrading until its fixed
[15:20] <jrib> CkhiKuzad: until what is fixed?  9.10 has been released.  That means it only gets security and "big bug" updates
[15:20] <nztal> if one of my post to lists.ubuntu.com from 2008 is being indexed by google, who do i contact to remove my own post ?
[15:20] <CShadowRun> nztal: i doubt you can remove posts from mailing lists, why would you want to?
[15:20] <jmburgess> nztal: yeah you definately can't
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> petur_: drives as in SATA / PATA or USB?
[15:21] <nztal> CShadowRun, it references one of my emails i dont wish to be public
[15:21] <charnel> jrib: Thank you but mine is Compiz.real and it spends my 30 mb of memory :) Just want to know. Processes like this ?
[15:21] <petur_> SATA ActionParsnip
[15:21] <jrib> nztal: but you sent it to a public mailing list?
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> petur_: are there entries in /etc/fstab for each partition you want to automount?
[15:22] <erUSUL> rethus: pulseaudio has support for emulation oss or alsa to some degree
[15:22] <nztal> i'm not sure what i sent it too.  but its now being posted to lists.ubuntu.com
[15:22] <ckhikuzad> damn you ubuntu updates wanting to reboot
[15:22] <adac> jrib, gdm is already unticked... Do i need to untick x11 too?
[15:22] <petur_> ActionParsnip: Ofcourse, sometimes / mounts OK but not /home .. so i ran 'fdisk -l' and the corresponding harddrive is missing from the list
[15:23] <jrib> nztal: should be easy to check what you sent it to.  Anyway ask google nicely not to index it and ask the list maintainer nicely if there is anything he can do.  But it seems like you sent it to a public mailing list (since google indexed it)
[15:23] <petur_> After a reboot it works OK. I have the same machine dualbooted with Windows.. never have any problems there. Also the problem did not excist before the upgrade to 9.10
[15:23] <jrib> adac: this is in sysv-rc-conf?
[15:23] <adac> jrib, yes
[15:23] <_talon> how can I share my internet connection with other computers using my wireless card in 9.10?
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> petur_: you dont mount disks, you mount partitions
[15:23] <jrib> adac: well see what x11 is.  I haven't done this in karmic
[15:23] <Hedge|Hog> is it possible to have two views open at the same time in nautilus side panel, like for example be able to have both places and the tree open at the same time (like in dolphin for example)
[15:24] <petur_> ActionParsnip: Figure of speech, the drive has a single partition
[15:24] <jrib> adac: it may be that it gets started differently using upstart now (I don't know)
[15:24] <Peter2222> Third day I try to configure my raid1, still have problems (md0 status clean, degraded), but I discovered today, that gparted shows me "/dev/mapper/nvidia_eeefjace" as the first device. When tried dmraid -r command, it shows me /dev/sdb: nvidia, "nvidia_eeefjace", mirror, ok, 625142446 sectors, data@ 0 /dev/sda: nvidia, "nvidia_eeefjace", mirror, ok, 625142446 sectors, data@ 0. Is that mean that I have fakeraid configured? I set RAID to IDE
[15:24] <Peter2222> in BIOS so I thought that hardware raid is disabled and tried to install software raid1 with alternate 9.10 installer. Shoult I be happy or worried? :)
[15:24] <adac> jrib, its x11-common. Well I try to untick that too. Strange noone is able to tell me how to do that in karmic ;)
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> petur_: if you run: gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local      I suggest you add a line:    mount -a       this will make the umounted partitions mount. Maybe the controller comes up after the fstab is processed. Its an incorrect figure of speech
[15:24] <jrib> adac: read the what the script does
[15:25] <jrib> adac: I've found some posts saying gdm is now started by upstart
[15:25] <adac> # /etc/init.d/x11-common: set up the X server and ICE socket directories
[15:25] <petur_> ActionParsnip: I tried, but from what i can see from the output of 'fdisk -l' the drive is missing, after reboot it works ok tho
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> petur_: then reboot and read: dmesg | less     see whats happening
[15:26] <c_nick> i i wanted to debug in VS2008 but i want to pass parameters to it i meAN *argv[]
[15:26] <c_nick>  how 2 test ?
[15:26] <john1> tried to stop and startx told me to use the service 8 command so I did,but no luck. again hear it logon and boot but no X nothing but black still
[15:26] <adac> jrib, Iok how do i disable gdm in upstart then? Doesn't upstart has its scripts also in /etc/init.d/ ?
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> petur_: obv use it when the disk is not detected
[15:26] <jrib> adac: I thought it was /etc/event.d
[15:26] <thiaiz> hi everyone,
[15:27] <petur_> Ok, good idea
[15:27] <jrib> adac: again, this is all pre-9.10
[15:27] <KyleUK86> Hey guys anyone had trouble with driver wrapping for broadcom chipsets?
[15:27] <Djarrum> Hello, Wireless networking question,  I've entered my wireless net WEP key and configured for the SSID,  but I still can not get a connection.  This is on a toshiba laptop w/ Realtek RTL8191SE w-lan
[15:28] <adac> jrib, I see. Well I leave it for now and ask in a month again then :)
[15:28] <adac> jrib, but first i try to uncheck x11-common
[15:28] <adac> :)
[15:28] <jrib> adac: well did you check /etc/event.d?
[15:28] <raub> _talon: do you want the other machines to connect to connect to the ubuntu box via wireless?
[15:28] <rashed2020> Is there anything bad with running a service in a screen?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Djarrum: does: sudo iwlist scan    show ESSIDs?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> rashed2020: none at all
[15:29] <thevishy> what is taskel
[15:29] <Narusegawa> if i move a partition using gparted. will that partition get a new GUID? i.e moving a partition along to stick one before it. just curious due to win7 bcd being guid based too
[15:29] <thevishy> !taskel
[15:29] <Djarrum> ActionParsnip, one moment I will check
[15:29] <adac> jrib, which runlevel do I have to check in there?
[15:29] <rashed2020> ActionParsnip: It's an IRC bot. So keeping it connected 24/7 using screen is fine? I always thought that was frowned on or something.
[15:29] <adac> rc0, rc1....
[15:29] <adac> jrib, ^^
[15:29] <jrib> adac: the concept of runlevels doesn't exist in upstart afaik
[15:30] <adac> jrib, that is the conent of /etc/event.d : control-alt-delete  last-good-boot  logd  rc0  rc1  rc2  rc3  rc4  rc5  rc6  rc-default  rcS  rcS-sulogin  sulogin  tty1  tty2  tty3  tty4  tty5  tty6
[15:30] <shiznebit> anyone know how to make my usb mic in stay as the default nomatter what
[15:30] <adac> *content
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> rashed2020: sure, its just a way to get multiple terminals on one tab etc, provided the screen session lives it will run in the background
[15:30] <Djarrum> ActionParsnip, says lo & eth0 doesn't support scanning
[15:31] <jrib> adac: are those actually directories?
[15:31] <thiaiz> I have Ubuntu 9.10 doing dual boot with Windows Vista, now i keep getting a message the disk space for Ubuntu is low, although 100GB is still available, does anyone knows how to make those 100GB accessible for Ubuntu ?
[15:31] <relic420> is there a easy way to install limewire on linux?
[15:31] <Mikey^> thiaiz: type df -h in a terminal and check how much free space is there for /
[15:31] <jrib> !frostwire | relic420
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Djarrum: then your wifi device isnt configured right o doesnt have a driver
[15:32] <grawity> thiaiz: Are they on the Windows partition?
[15:32] <grawity> thiaiz: And how did you install Ubuntu -- using Wubi, or true dualboot?
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Djarrum: can you give the output of: sudo lsw -C network | grep product

[15:32] <BluesKaj> hiyas all

[15:36] <brahmana> Hi
[15:37] <d4n1s>  ey can anyone tell me wtf is tar.gz or however it called? Its like winrar?
[15:37] <brahmana> I am trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 and am facing some problems.
[15:37] <jrib> adac: grep gdm /etc/event.d/*  may help you
[15:37] <jrib> d4n1s: yes
[15:37] <brahmana> I started the installation and in the first attempt it failed when copying files.
[15:37] <MASARUwota> d4n1s its a source file
[15:37] <d4n1s> how do I run instalitations etc?
[15:37] <brahmana> But it had done the paritioning and all.
[15:37] <MASARUwota> d4n1s youre new to all of this arent you?
[15:37] <jrib> d4n1s: you try not to.  What are you trying to install?
[15:37] <brahmana> Now when I restarted the installation it wants to create a new partition again.
[15:37] <d4n1s> unreal
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> Djarrum: ok thats your wired interface. Try: lspci     one line will identify the wireless interface
[15:38] <MASARUwota> d4n1s open aptitude and search for it
[15:38] <grawity> d4n1s: .deb - double-click and confirm installation. .tar.gz - extract, read the file named "README", open Terminal, compile from source.
[15:38] <BluesKaj> google has a free dns service http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/
[15:38] <armornick> d4n1s: open the software center or synaptic to install apps
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> brahmana: did you md5 test the ISO?
[15:38] <thiaiz> I have Ubuntu 9.10 doing dual boot with Windows Vista, now i keep getting a message the disk space for Ubuntu is low, although 100GB is still available, does anyone knows how to make those 100GB accessible for Ubuntu ?
[15:38] <brahmana> ActionParsnip: Nope
[15:38] <SandGorgon> what is a good player for ubuntu that can play APE/CUE, Flac/CUE, etc. - vlc cant cut it
[15:38] <MASARUwota> thiaiz: try using gparted
[15:38] <d4n1s> ok thx how do I compile? Like cd folder location ./config?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> brahmana: then how do you know what you are using is complete or consistant?
[15:39] <MASARUwota> d4n1s use synaptic, you dont have to compile then
[15:39] <thiaiz> i did, but still dont understand where wich partition should i shrink
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | brahmana
[15:39] <jrib> d4n1s: average users don't need to compile anything
[15:39] <armornick> d4n1s: first cd to the dir, then ./configure, then make, then sudo make install
[15:39] <armornick> d4n1s: however, try not to compile your apps
[15:39] <jrib> !software | d4n1s
[15:39] <brahmana> ActionParsnip: I understand that and I will run a check now. However, what I want to know is whether I can install ubuntu from command line.. like Slackware
[15:39] <d4n1s> thx esse
[15:39] <brahmana> because, I now have a ubuntu partition and I do not want to create another partition.
[15:40] <grawity> d4n1s: Okay, so you downloaded Unreal. Extract the .tar.gz with "tar -xvzf file.tar.gz". Go into the newly created folder. Then type "less README"
[15:40] <MASARUwota> d4n1s, if you want to compile use slackware, one of the plusses of a debian-based distro (like ubuntu) is that you can install stuff with one go
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> brahmana: theres the alternate ISO which uses a text based installer but achieves the same end
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> brahmana: you can use custom partitioning in ubuntu and use / format the existing partition layout
[15:40] <armornick> brahmana: you could use the minimal install to have a commandline so you can manually install everything
[15:40] <luist> can anyone help me with compiz? i changing appearance visual effects to normal/extra but it goes back without changing
[15:40] <brahmana> ActionParsnip: So there is no way for me to do the installation from command line with the disk that I have got?
[15:41] <armornick> luist: what video card do you have?
[15:41] <brahmana> armornick: How do I do that?
[15:41] <luist> armornick, some ATI
[15:41] <baalsgate> any assistance with the nvidia issue ?

[15:42] <brahmana> armornick: MinimalCD is another download and writing to the CD, not possible with the current CD that I am having, right?
[15:42] <Graviton> blazon: Most likely the kernel was updated, which would require a system restart
[15:42] <Rodensky> hey ppl, i need some help with kopete on ubuntu 9.04 please :]
[15:42] <ubuntu__> hello to all
[15:42] <armornick> brahmana: no
[15:42] <blazon> why the fuck is the kernel auto upgrading
[15:42] <blazon> are you serious?
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> Djarrum: http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8330401
[15:42] <piotras> hi all
[15:42] <khensthoth> brahmana: It should be one of the option when you get to the partitioning step. Select manual partitioning, then you can select your previous partition to mount as your / and/or /home
[15:42] <blazon> on a server release
[15:42] <blazon> wow
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> !ohmy | blazon
[15:43] <FloodBot2> blazon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:43] <armornick> luist: I think compiz blacklisted your card because there are some issues with it
[15:43] <bazhang> blazon, watch the language
[15:43] <Djarrum> ActionParsnip, thanks you...  You can continue with the current one with no ill effects
[15:47] <armornick> d4n1s: otherwise, I don't know
[15:47] <d4n1s> u mean like d4n1s-laptop?
[15:47] <armornick> d4n1s: yes
[15:47] <blazon> jrib i think i have been forced into a kernel upgrade once in 8 years
[15:47] <ratbert> i cant open any dvd cant read from source pls help
[15:48] <d4n1s> ok thx thats all I needed
[15:48] <relic420> i mean like real tv, not podcasts...
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> ratbert: a video dvd or data
[15:48] <miha> relic420 tvtime is good for tv
[15:48] <ratbert> ActionParsnip,  video
[15:48] <brahmana> khensthoth: I restarted the installation procedure by rebooting. I am at the initial screen. Here I proceed as usual with "Install Ubuntu" option (without pressing F4 or F6 or anything) and only later when partitioning comes up, I choose to do it manually. Is that right?
[15:48] <armornick> blazon: if you don't want to reboot, then don't reboot ;)
[15:48] <blazon> lol
[15:48] <resno> hello all, quick question. its impossible to have dhcp server with a single nic card right?
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> ratbert: you need to install libdvdcss2 from the medibuntu repo
[15:48] <d4n1s> I compiled the Unrealircd, what I do now?
[15:48] <khensthoth> brahmana: Yup
[15:49] <brahmana> ok.. cool
[15:49] <blazon> start it d4n1s
[15:49] <jrib> blazon: well as I said, ubuntu doesn't force you to upgrade your kernel.  It only gets installed if you ask it to
[15:49] <blazon> will config then start
[15:49] <armornick> blazon: the thing is, if you want the latest security updates, you have to restart your pc
[15:49] <thiaiz> I have Ubuntu 9.10 doing dual boot with Windows Vista, now i keep getting a message the disk space for Ubuntu is low, although 100GB is still available, does anyone knows how to make those 100GB accessible for Ubuntu ?
[15:49] <blazon> it6s not a PC!
[15:49] <baalsgate> surely someone here can give me some help installing nvidia drivers ?
[15:49] <ratbert> ActionParsnip,  i open it with movie player and install the codecs do i need more i didint do that what you said
[15:49] <d4n1s> how? xD
[15:49] <ratbert> should i
[15:49] <baalsgate> I have goodled it
[15:49] <armornick> blazon: kernel updates, I mean, but otherwise jsut don't restart
[15:49] <blazon> d4nis: locate unrealircd.conf
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> ratbert: you need the medibuntu repo dude
[15:49] <blazon> then ./unrealircd
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> !medibuntu | ratbert
[15:50] <ratbert> ActionParsnip,  synaptic??
[15:50] <blazon> well edit the config
[15:50] <armornick> thiaiz: use the ubuntu live cd, open gparted, then resize the ubuntu partition
[15:50] <blazon> then launch
[15:50] <Graviton> !nvidia | baalsgate
[15:50] <armornick> baalsgate: normally, they should be under hardware drivers
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> blazon: you assume they have updated the db ;)
[15:51] <Rodensky> hey ppl, i need some help with kopete on ubuntu 9.04 please :]

[15:51] <ActionParsnip> Rodensky: ask away
[15:51] <armornick> baalsgate: did you restart your pc?
[15:51] <baalsgate> yes
[15:51] <Rodensky> i can't connect to my @live.com account... it asks me over and over for my password
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> baalsgate: this may help: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-nvidia-graphics-drivers-190-42-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html
[15:52] <Rodensky> the password is correct (i can logon with it in pidgin)
[15:52] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : thanks i will look at that
[15:52] <d4n1s> just wondering isnt there GUI of programs into linux?
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> d4n1s: there are plenty
[15:52] <Rodensky> kopete gets connected only to my @hotmail.com account but not to my @live.com
[15:52] <armornick> d4n1s: did you install the server edition?
[15:52] <resno> to make a proxy server i need 2 network cards right?
[15:53] <d4n1s> yes I did but its weird coz after compiling the files were same
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> resno: not really, it will make it smoother
[15:53] <d4n1s> I done cd file location and ./config
[15:53] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : first command suggested on that page failed
[15:53] <resno> ActionParsnip: 2 are recommended .
[15:54] <Rodensky> anyone?...
[15:54] <relic420> what is the best browser for linux?
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> baalsgate: are you using jaunty?
[15:54] <S0LIDUS> Does anyone know of descent web coding software for ubuntu ? Something similar to Dreamweaver.
[15:54] <Graviton> d4n1s: Then you would probably have to run "make" next
[15:54] <miha> relic420 Firefox, of course
[15:54] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : tried " sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa"
[15:54] <armornick> d4n1s: well, you have to apt-get install gnome or kde to have a GUI
[15:54] <ratbert> ActionParsnip,  thanks dude it works i didnt had to do this with the older versions of ubuntu did i?? any way thanks
[15:54] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : im using mythbuntu 9.10
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> baalsgate: then run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[15:55] <d4n1s> what is more pwnzor kde or gnome?
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> baalsgate: and add the line: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
[15:55] <sirjoebob> hey. i am attempting to install ubutu 9.10 on a 250 GB sata drive. installer partitioner does not recognize the drive but gparted let me make new partitions, etc. Anybody have any ideas?
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> d4n1s: neither
[15:55] <ratbert> baalsgate,  just to ask did you do apt-get update?
[15:55] <armornick> d4n1s: they're basically the same but gnome is supported better with ubuntu
[15:55] <khensthoth> Rodensky: What error message is it?
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> d4n1s: both are equal, just different
[15:55] <jrib> sirjoebob: is it mounted?
[15:55] <arrrghhh> can anyone help me get the guest additions installed on a virtualbox host?  i get an error in linux saying it can't mount the iso.  the iso file is where it's looking, says "VERR_DEV_IO_ERROR"
[15:55] <BlouBlou> d4n1s: what do you prefer? stile or simplicity?
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> baalsgate: save the new file then run: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys CEC06767
[15:55] <Rodensky> khensthoth: no error msg, it just won't accept my password
[15:56] <d4n1s> sounds cool I get gnome!
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> baalsgate: then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install nvidia-190-modaliases nvidia-glx-190  nvidia-settings-190
[15:56] <ratbert> d4n1s,  get it
[15:56]  * ActionParsnip prefers LXDE
[15:56]  * armornick thinks gnome is the best for beginners
[15:56] <sirjoebob> jrib: it was. let me try again
[15:56] <baalsgate> ratbert : no
[15:57] <ratbert> baalsgate,  do this before you install the drivers
[15:57] <sirjoebob> jrib: Drive is mounted
[15:57] <jrib> sirjoebob: right, unmount it
[15:57] <d4n1s> Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
[15:57] <d4n1s> requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

[15:58] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : will nvidia-xconfig then work to make a valid xorg.conf ?
[15:58] <jrib> d4n1s: pasting parts of random errors without telling us what you did to get the error makes it very hard to help you
[15:58] <armornick> does anyone know how to resize a wubi installation?
[15:59] <S0LIDUS> armornick, Thanks dude!

[15:59] <armornick> d4n1s: try sudo apt-get install gnome-core
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> baalsgate: should work after a reboot, if not boot to root recovery console and run the command
[15:59] <BlouBlou> !gnome | d4n1s
[15:59] <jrib> d4n1s: what version of ubuntu did you install?

[16:04] <aton`> ActionParsnip: i dont have apt-cace, what packet holds it?

[16:06] <Dunas> Anything I should know before finalizing the update to the kernel?
[16:06] <brahmana> Is ext4 a good option or should I go with ext3?
[16:06] <aton`> and ubuntu runs on it
[16:06] <brahmana> khensthoth: ^^ (ext4 v/s ext3)?
[16:06] <armornick> brahmana: ext4 is better
[16:06] <khensthoth> brahmana: Your choice. I'd go for ext4 though.
[16:06] <jrib> aton`: it's either not ubuntu/debian or something is terribly wrong with your install.  Are you sure it's ubuntu?
[16:06] <aton`> jrib: its ubuntu.
[16:06] <brahmana> ok.. thanks..
[16:06] <d4n1s> I installed irc-hybird using synaptic how I locate it?

[16:07] <rdeshpande> does anyone on a laptop having a working setup for hot unplug/plugging of a monitor? ubuntu doesn't want to reconfigure my laptop screen to be the primary screen when i unplug.
[16:07] <aton`> jrib: the installer, and he is gone for a few hours
[16:07] <armornick> rdeshpande: there should be a display option under system
[16:08] <Dunas> Any major bugs in the new kernel update?
[16:08] <jrib> aton`: do you have /usr/bin/apt-cache ?

[16:24] <khensthoth> magmarules: Have a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys Instead of mapping multimedia keys, you might find out the Home event and bind the keyboard shortcut to it.
[16:24] <baalsgate> this seems to realy blow tring to get Nvidia drivers running
[16:25] <jrib> baalsgate: system -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers -> check
[16:25] <baalsgate> never had this much trouble getting them going before
[16:25] <xjkx> i am running a LTS version, and I'm thinking of installing VMware. It's not on my apt-get, is there a source list i can add to sources.lst to make it accessible ? I will need both the application to install the OS(create the image) and the application to run the OS(the image)
[16:25] <khensthoth> brahmana: How much RAM do you have?
[16:25] <baalsgate> jrib: they are there but cant activate them
[16:25] <brahmana> khensthoth: 256 MB
[16:25] <armornick> xjkx: you'll have to install vmware from their site since it's not a freely distributable app
[16:26] <scalaLove> mPlayer gives me error : could not resolve name for AF-INET, jrib, armornick?
[16:26] <jrib> baalsgate: install the package for the drivers yourself and check for errors
[16:26] <jrib> scalaLove: how did you run it?
[16:26] <sbak-debianvbox> baalsgate: http://pastebin.com/m45b7978d can u help me
[16:26] <scalaLove> play url
[16:26] <khensthoth> brahmana: Then you'd need swap space. Preferably 2 times your RAM size
[16:26] <brahmana> khensthoth: I have chosen to use that extra FAT partition as my / with ext4 file-system. Will the installation utility create a swap out of it by itself?
[16:26] <jrib> scalaLove: please be specific
[16:26] <lba> Cannot nfs in Karmic 9.10 even with nfsver=2.  Fstab line is:  kata:/home      /mnt/kata/home  nfs     defaults,noauto,nfsver=2  0 0
[16:26] <xjkx> armornick: but is it freeware ?
[16:26] <armornick> xjkx: yes
[16:27] <DaZ> brahmana: ke?
[16:27] <armornick> xjkx: however, I recommend virtualbox
[16:27] <khensthoth> brahmana: No. You'd need to create an extra partition if you want swap.
[16:27] <pdragon_> can someone help me with apache2 and webmin not adding vhost
[16:27] <scalaLove> right click on mplayer and then open>play url, then i copy the stream video link and i paste it
[16:27] <scalaLove> jrib
[16:27] <sbak-debianvbox> can someone help me get a game server working on my linux pm me
[16:27] <brahmana> khensthoth: Cool.. just like my slackware set up. . :) ..
[16:27] <brahmana> DaZ: sorry?
[16:27] <pdragon_> the error i get is  * Starting web server apache2

[16:27] <pdragon_>    ...done.
[16:28] <xjkx> armornick: is it faster than vmware ? i am already using a free program, QEMU, but its slow
[16:28] <baalsgate> jrib: maybe i should perge the nvidia stuf and try again
[16:28] <armornick> xjkx: it should be as fast as vmware; qemu is usually fast too, but you have to install the kernel module kqemu
[16:28] <jrib> scalaLove: use a terminal, easier to debug.
[16:29] <jrib> scalaLove: mplayer blah
[16:29] <scalaLove> for this link tha comman would be ? http://webcast.berkeley.edu/stream.php?type=real&webcastid=12408
[16:29] <sbak-debianvbox> jrob:  http://pastebin.com/m45b7978d can u help me
[16:29] <xjkx> armornick: i tried to install kqemu but kqemu-common and kqemu-source did nothing after i installed on apt-get
[16:29] <pdragon_> anyone
[16:29] <ratbert> is there a program for converting img or anything to iso
[16:29] <armornick> xjkx: well, then try installing virtualbox, since it's easier to use than qemu
[16:30] <scalaLove> jrib: mplayer: could not connect to socket
[16:30] <scalaLove> mplayer: No such file or directory

[16:30] <FloodBot2> scalaLove: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:30] <armornick> xjkx: note, the open source version doesn't support usb, you'll need the deb from their site for that
[16:30] <jrib> scalaLove: add -playlist
[16:30] <xjkx> armornick: i see there are a lot of virtualbox packages, virtualbox-ose  virtualbox-ose-guest-modules-2.6.24-18-386 and such, which one do i pick ?
[16:31] <armornick> xjkx: virtualbox-ose is a metapackage which has all those other packages as dependencies
[16:31] <mas> hello
[16:31] <armornick> hi
[16:31] <ratbert> is there a program for converting img or anything to iso
[16:31] <xjkx> armornick: thanks
[16:31] <Jan-> hihi
[16:31] <Jan-> is there a reasonably reliable way of watching blu-ray discs on ubuntu yet?
[16:31] <kev_> help with grub please?
[16:32] <jrib> !iso | ratbert
[16:32] <jrib> kev_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[16:32] <S0LIDUS> rathbert: ISOmaster I think would convert that file type
[16:32] <armornick> ratbert: ccd2iso
[16:32] <pdragon_> dose anyone know anything about apache2 and webmin
[16:33] <jrib> pdragon_: someone probably knows something. Just ask your actual question
[16:33] <jrib> !webmin | pdragon_
[16:33] <Paschu> Hey guys, How can i create my music in ubuntu. Like in "fruity loops"
[16:33] <kev_> I'm trying to add my win7 partition to menu.lst. i run os-prob and it finds the win7 loader i then update-grub and it does not add the partition i also checked in grub.cfg and i see the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/335332/
[16:33] <pdragon_> !ebox
[16:33] <armornick> Paschu: audacity (or audacious if I'm wrong about audacity)
[16:33] <pdragon_> oo cool did not know about that one
[16:33] <scalaLove> jrib: says can not conect to socket
[16:33] <pdragon_> now i will need to remove webmin
[16:34] <shafi> is there any channel for C# else mono?
[16:34] <jrib> scalaLove: what are you typing exactly?  It works fine here
[16:34] <Jan-> Anyone? Blu-ray?
[16:34] <Paschu> armornick: Audacity is for editing music, not for creating
[16:34] <armornick> Paschu: oh, then I don't know
[16:34] <scalaLove> mplayer add -playlist http://webcast.berkeley.edu/stream.php?type=real&webcastid=12408
[16:35] <Paschu> Hey guys, How can i create my music in ubuntu. Like in "fruity loops"
[16:35] <jrib> scalaLove: you need quotes around your url or your shell tries to glob it
[16:35] <Camel> Hello
[16:35] <jrib> scalaLove: and no "add" afaik
[16:35] <armornick> hi
[16:35] <relic420> for some reason firefox wont open anymore.
[16:35] <scalaLove> mplayer add -playlist "http://webcast.berkeley.edu/stream.php?type=real&webcastid=12408"
[16:35] <ackwan> >	Hi, is there any way to connect to airport-type hotspots with a text-based browser? I can't get a connection (the page is supposed to redirect, but it won't seem to work). Is there anything I can do? I forgot to install epiphany before I went on my trip and I'm desperate.
[16:35] <baalsgate> there is any gru's here to solve this Nvidia issue ??
[16:35] <scalaLove> like this?
[16:35] <Camel> I got a question
[16:36] <jrib> scalaLove: no "add"
[16:36] <Camel> My ubuntu updated itself
[16:36] <grawity> And the question is?
[16:36] <Camel> Then it went for reboot and after coming back this comes : http://www.upload.ee/image/287138/DSC01107.JPG
[16:36] <relic420> is there a place i can get the error report for why firefox isnt open?
[16:36] <relic420> opening*
[16:36] <winmisser> anyone running Modern Warfare 2 with Wine 1.1.33 on Ubuntu 9.10
[16:36] <Camel> Its most likely a silly reason but im new to ubuntu
[16:36] <jrib> relic420: run « firefox » in a terminal
[16:36] <Camel> And i dno it
[16:37] <Camel> The numbers wont stop either
[16:37] <relic420> weird, nothing is opening
[16:37] <Camel> Any ideas guyse?
[16:37] <pdragon_> !ebox
[16:37] <kielanmatt_> what is the name of the cpu scaling driver?
[16:37] <scalaLove> jrib: there is no video just sound
[16:37] <kielanmatt_> in 9.10
[16:37] <arand> Paschu: ardour, jokosher, rosegarden, muse, ...?
[16:37] <relic420> BBL
[16:38] <miha> relic420 are you sure firefox isnt dead and running? ps aux | grep firefox ... killall -9 firefox
[16:38] <jrib> scalaLove: you most likely need some codecs then
[16:39] <scalaLove> there is error : vdecoded failed, jrib what codecs i need
[16:39] <kielanmatt_> what is the name of the cpu scaling driver?
[16:39] <ubuntu_giant> What's the command to reconfigure the x-server?
[16:39] <jrib> scalaLove: I don't know the package name offhand.  The stream is real media
[16:39] <armornick> scalaLove: try installing w32codecs from medibuntu
[16:39] <armornick> !medibuntu | scalaLove
[16:40] <scalaLove> medibuntu yes or no?
[16:40] <ubuntu_giant> Is it dpkg-recongifure xorg?  It doesn't work for me.
[16:40] <scalaLove> some say yes and ubottu says not legal
[16:41] <phyrrus> ubottu is a bot.. he has to say that
[16:41] <armornick> scalaLove: medibuntu packages are legal, but they can't be redistributed with ubuntu
[16:41] <phyrrus> see watch: !ot
[16:41] <phyrrus> !ot
[16:41] <armornick> !gender
[16:42] <scalaLove> i search medibuntu in synaptic but nothing
[16:42] <phyrrus> lol
[16:42] <armornick> scalaLove: medibuntu is a repository which contains packages
[16:42] <iElectric> does "fsck -c /dev/sda1" also fix/hide bad blocks?
[16:42] <armornick> scalaLove: it contains the w32codecs which probably has the codecs you need
[16:42] <ubuntu_giant> What is the command to reconfigure the x server?  For some reason my x server has a bug in it.
[16:43] <guntbert> scalaLove: you have to add the repo to your software sorces
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_giant: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[16:43] <papul> hi. where can i find the file tcl.h??
[16:43] <ubuntu_giant> ActionParsnip: Ah, thanks...I was sayiing xorg
[16:43] <papul> and the file libtcl.so
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> papul: sudo find / -iname "tcl.h"
[16:44] <ubuntu_giant> ActionParsnip: Hm...no curses dialog comes up. :(
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_giant: it doesnt afailk. I think it just makes things nice for you
[16:44] <S0LIDUS> Does anyone know how I might make an Ubuntu BBS?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> S0LIDUS: BBS?
[16:44] <kazaa_lite> how can i disable SELinux on ubuntu9?
[16:44] <ubuntu_giant> Okay.  Thanks.
[16:45] <nulled> <--- free suport...ask away (im bored)
[16:45] <S0LIDUS> ActionParsnip, Sorry Bulletin Board System
[16:46] <scalaLove> sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[16:46] <scalaLove> yeii i did it
[16:46] <armornick> S0LIDUS: depends which bbs but just follow the instructions of the bbs software
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> S0LIDUS: better, using weird acronyms in questions isnt a good call
[16:46] <arand> nulled: we are all doing free support in here...
[16:47] <S0LIDUS> ActionParsnip, Thank you for the advice
[16:47] <armornick> S0LIDUS: the server root is /srv/www/ last I heard
[16:47] <papul> ActionParsnip, libtcl.so is not in /lib/
[16:47] <S0LIDUS> armornick, Thanks, I thought there would be a top rated software for it.
[16:47] <jdahm> is there a zsh version control PPC available?
[16:48] <etronik> Hi, need help configuring samba shares, have swat up & running, how do I add users ?
[16:48] <jdahm> so I can get very up to date versions?
[16:48] <guntbert> !latest | jdahm
[16:48] <papul> how can i search all the files of a package installed in my system?
[16:48] <grawity> S0LIDUS: BBS, as in a dial-up one? Or accessed over telnet?
[16:49] <armornick> grawity: bbs, as in bulletin board
[16:49] <S0LIDUS> grawity, Yep, thats the one
[16:49] <grawity> armornick: I know what are BBSes.
[16:49] <papul> how can i search all the files of a package installed in my system?
[16:49] <winmisser> is there anything i should know if i wanna uninstall ubuntu 9.10 and install Windows 7 in their place?
[16:49] <jdahm> guntbert: notice thats not what I asked, I asked if anyone knew if there was a ppc for it, like mpd ppc
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> !find libtcl
[16:49] <tapas> is there a thunderbird 3 package available in ubuntu?
[16:49] <jdahm> guntbert: but thanks
[16:49] <khelvan> Does anyone know of a way to have pms (ps3 media server) rescan its content directories from the console?
[16:49] <merciless> can anyone help me... i inserted the usb but ubuntu isn't notifying me about the usb
[16:49] <tapas> apt-get install thunderbird-3.0 complains about "no installation candidate available"
[16:49] <papul> tapas, remove the 3.0
[16:50] <arand> papul: dpkg -L packagename
[16:50] <nulled> dpkg -l  <-- searches all installed packages
[16:50] <guntbert> jdahm: ah - you should avoid pressing <enter> in the middle of your statements - I only read the last line :-)
[16:50] <billio> anyone using a UK keyboard notice any problems after the recent update to Xorg?
[16:50] <john1> ran latest update and now no display on reboot help? anyone else with this problem?
[16:50] <CShadowRun> billio: i'm using colemak-uk if that helps
[16:51] <merciless> can anyone help me... i inserted the usb but ubuntu isn't notifying me about the usb
[16:51] <CShadowRun> colemak-uk seems fine to me
[16:51] <jdahm> guntbert: np, just making sure people realize I'm not asking stupid questions
[16:51] <papul> i am trying to configure eggdrop
[16:51] <tapas> papul: well, that installs version <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:51] <kazaa_lite> is selinux enabled bydefault in ubuntu9?
[16:51] <billio> Everything was fine yesterday, but after rebooting, various characters have skipped around
[16:51] <S0LIDUS> merciless, Is it correctly formated?
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> tapas: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
[16:51] <tapas> not 3.x
[16:51] <papul> but during configure it says tcl not found
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> tapas: daily builds gives you 3.1
[16:51] <jrib> kazaa_lite: ubuntu uses apparmor not selinux
[16:51] <nulled> merciless: try doing a google search 'no usb ubuntu'  state your hardware
[16:51] <guntbert> jdahm: :-), but !enter still applies :-)
[16:52] <merciless> SOLIDUS; i am not sure.... i haven't faced this problem before
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> tapas: or 3.0
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> tapas: both are on there
[16:52] <tapas> ActionParsnip: ok, cool, will check it out.. what's the chances of this surviving an upgrade to the next ubuntu release
[16:52] <kazaa_lite> jrib: is apparmor enabled by default?
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> tapas: depends on a lot of things
[16:52] <tapas> [thinking a bit into the future :)]
[16:52] <Camel> How to remove old builds from the grub ?
[16:52] <tapas> ActionParsnip: ok..
[16:52] <nulled> kazza: NO selinux is OFF, ubuntu uses AppArmor
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> Camel: uninstall the linux-image-<version> you do not need
[16:52] <S0LIDUS> merciless, if you got a windows box try formating to fat32. Then give that a go.
[16:52] <Camel> How
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> Camel: you will get about 120Mb per kernel
[16:53] <jrib> kazaa_lite: support for it is.  I'm not sure if it ships with any profiles by default (check /etc/apparmor.d)
[16:53] <arand> tapas: https://launchpad.net/~fta/+archive/ppa maybe
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Camel: uname -a     will show you the current kernel (Bdo NOT remove this)
[16:53] <merciless> SOLIDUS; no i dont have...and i have important data...and i can't lose it
[16:53] <jrib> kazaa_lite: here you go: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/KnowledgeBase/AppArmorProfiles
[16:53] <tapas> well, the reason for me asking about a newer thunderbird is this:
[16:53] <tapas> http://tapas.affenbande.org/thunderbird_scrollbar.png
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Camel: if you run: dpkg -l | grep linux-image               you will see the installed kernels, uninstall the ones you do not need with: sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image -<version>
[16:54] <tapas> thunderbird in ubuntu doesn't show the scrollbar in the message view when not vertically maximized
[16:54] <S0LIDUS> merciless, Give me a sec!
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> Camel: once you have removed what is not needed run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[16:54] <merciless> SOLIDUS; okk....
[16:54] <tapas> so it's basically unnavigatable
[16:54] <Camel> Okay ActionParsnip
[16:54] <Camel> Thx
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> Camel: that will remove the module packages you no longer need
[16:54] <Random832> tapas, you can use the keyboard
[16:54] <Random832> i've never run into that though
[16:54] <papul> some1 please tell me where can i find tcl.h and libtcl.so
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> tapas: try the daily build, if its still bad, log a bug
[16:55] <papul> searching hangs my sys
[16:55] <h4f>  papul: what are those ?
[16:55] <Random832> what window manager is that?
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> papul: try: sudo find / -iname "tcl*"
[16:55] <jrib> kazaa_lite: why though?
[16:55] <Random832> (and why a tiling window manage with gnome?)
[16:55] <armornick> tapas: you seem to be using awesome, so don't you have a fullscreen mode?
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> papul: you may have to symlink to "make" the file
[16:55] <papul> ActionParsnip, searching hangs my sys
[16:55] <S0LIDUS> merciless, Ok! Plug your USB in, then in your terminal put: sudo lshw -C disk
[16:56] <kazaa_lite> jrib: i am getting some issue for a binary that worked fine on CentOS
[16:56] <tapas> armornick: it's xmonad.. and yes, of course i can maximize thunderbird
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> papul: the whole thing? not just the terminal
[16:56] <kazaa_lite> so I need to disable selinux on anything like that to test things
[16:56] <duffydack> ActionParsnip, do you know what could muck up the system policy authentication thing so I cant auth something like Services or anything else that requires it.. I enter pass and it just stays there..
[16:56] <tapas> armornick: but since every other app, even firefox works well, when not maximized i suspect a thunderbird bug
[16:56] <papul> ActionParsnip, yup
[16:56] <jrib> kazaa_lite: I see
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> papul: wow crazy
[16:56] <armornick> tapas: oh, okay
[16:56] <tapas> armornick: you see how firefox for example shows its scrollbar ok?
[16:56] <papul> ActionParsnip, my sys is real old
[16:56] <duffydack> ActionParsnip, it has worked in the past..  maybe an upgrade futz`d it
[16:56] <tapas> as opposed to thunderbird's message view
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> papul: try in cd /usr/lib; ls tc*
[16:57] <papul> i did that
[16:57] <armornick> tapas: like they said, try the latest build from the site
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> papul: see if its there in some guise (like libtcl8.4.so.0)
[16:57] <merciless> SOLIDUS; http://paste.ubuntu.com/335348/
[16:57] <papul> ok
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> duffydack: not sure, not done anything like that
[16:57] <tapas> armornick: will do.,. i hope this doesn't trash my folders in any way :(
[16:57] <stratus> Hello all...
[16:58] <stratus> : )
[16:58] <armornick> tapas: back up .thunderbird first then
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> papul: if its there like that you can create a symlink to make the filename exist even though its a link to the other file
[16:58] <papul> ActionParsnip, in /lib if i type libtc and then press tab nothing comes up
[16:58] <guntbert> !hi | stratus
[16:58] <tapas> armornick: if that's all that's needed. great :)
[16:58] <stratus> I'm having some ATI radeon 2600 hd pro on Karmic issues again.
[16:58] <stratus> : (
[16:58] <S0LIDUS> merciless, What size is your USB?
[16:58] <etronik> how do I add users to samba via swat ?? TIA
[16:59] <merciless> SOLIDUS; 4GB
[16:59] <stratus> Hey guntbert...
[16:59] <stratus> : )
[16:59] <merciless> SOLIDUS; in gparted it displayes me as /dev/sdc
[16:59] <S0LIDUS> merciless, That would be the disk at the bottom, it might just be a mounting prob!
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> papul: the files arent executable, try: cp ./libtc then press tab
[17:00] <merciless> SOLIDUS; so i need to manually mount in in /media?
[17:00] <stratus> So I'm basically working the virtual terminals now because I can't click on anything when Ubuntu boots.
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> etronik: i know how via CLI
[17:00] <S0LIDUS> merciless, Yep!
[17:01] <stratus> I can login but I can't click on windows, the gnome-panel, etc.
[17:01] <craig_> hi, are there any options in ubuntu for deciding what goes in the disk cache? and is it per file or per sector?
[17:02] <ljsoftnet> if i install xubuntu on a NTFS partition with files in it, and select the storage size for xubuntu, how do i turn the xubuntu partition back to NTFS?
[17:02] <stratus> I downloaded 'irssi' and here I am...
[17:02] <merciless> SOLIDUS; http://paste.ubuntu.com/335351/
[17:02] <guntbert> craig_: that are decisions for the kernel to make - not for the user
[17:03] <prappl93> What all do these updates fix/work on?
[17:03] <h4f> prappl93: security , fixes , new  features
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: you cant install ubuntu on ntfs, you can use wubi which will install to a file on an ntfs partition
[17:03] <prappl93> h4f, thanks. I was hoping it might speed it up even more and prevent my system from freezing as often as it does.

[17:04] <craig_> guntbert, ah thank you. im concerned that ubuntu is caching the disk, and any virtual machines running under ubuntu are also caching the same data
[17:04] <etronik> ActionParsnip Thanks, shoot
[17:04] <CkhiKuzad> you cant install it ON ntfs. you can overwrite the NTFS with EXT3 or whatever filesystem ubuntu uses
[17:04] <S0LIDUS> merciless, sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/usb fat32
[17:04] <h4f> prappl93:  it might speed up. it might add support to your hardware (drivers)
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> CkhiKuzad: yes then its installed on ext3 isnt it, not ntfs
[17:05] <prappl93> CkhiKuzad, If its 9.10 its not EXT3 its EXT4
[17:05] <ljsoftnet> ActionParsnip: i plan to install it through booting from the CD, and install it on my storage hard drive
[17:05] <CkhiKuzad> prappl93 o.0 i dont think my computer will support ext4
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: you'd have to format the partition to ntfs (and lose the data on it)
[17:05] <merciless> SOLIDUS; http://paste.ubuntu.com/335355/
[17:05] <zroysch> where is the log that tells me why tcp connections fail on my server for several minutes before coming back up. during this time i can still ping
[17:06] <CkhiKuzad> ljsoftnet, also you should copy everything you have to a thumb drive if you are doing a full format and install
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> prappl93: only by default, you can use ext3 if you wish using custom partitioning
[17:06] <guntbert> craig_: I see, but as I see it the memory management in linux is *really* good - so I wouldn't worry - have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[17:06] <CkhiKuzad> but thats just common sense
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> prappl93: so it can be either if its 9.10
[17:07] <ljsoftnet> ActionParsnip: is there another way to format, just the size of the partition to NTFS? i was just wondering
[17:07] <S0LIDUS> merciless, Sorry - sudo mount -t fat32 /dev/sdc /media/usb
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: you can resize partitions
[17:07] <merciless> SOLIDUS; mount: unknown filesystem type 'fat32'
[17:07] <prappl93> Is there a page with requirements for EXT4?
[17:08] <S0LIDUS> merciless, sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdc /media/usb
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> S0LIDUS: try -t vfat
[17:08] <craig_> guntbert, thanks for link
[17:08] <ljsoftnet> ActionParsnip: i mean just to format the xubuntu partition, not the whole hard disk
[17:08] <S0LIDUS> ActionParsnip, Thanks Dude!
[17:08] <merciless> SOLIDUS; http://paste.ubuntu.com/335357/
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: sure, you will format the partition you want
[17:09] <mka> My ATI Radeon X700 graphics card just stopped working, it doesnt even show up on "lspci" anymore. Is it dead?
[17:09] <S0LIDUS> merciless, sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc /media/usb
[17:09] <scalaLove> i play it now with mplayer, jrib, can i save the file somehow?
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> S0LIDUS: could also add: -o uid=1000     if they dont get write access too ;)
[17:09] <CkhiKuzad> what directory would my firefox add on preferences be located in on ubuntu?
[17:09] <merciless> SOLIDUS; I am getting the same error as before
[17:10] <CkhiKuzad> such as adblock plus's filter list
[17:10] <scalaLove> cache it somehow so i can scrub throuh timeline in mplayer?
[17:10] <prappl93> Was the Kernel update released recently?
[17:10] <S0LIDUS> merciless, I would ask ActionParsnip for some assistance. Sorry I could not help.
[17:10] <jrib> scalaLove: -dumpstream
[17:10] <ljsoftnet> ActionParsnip: no i mean just to delete the total size on which i install xubuntu in
[17:11] <merciless> ActionParsnip; hey can you help me I am unable to mount my usb..it used to automount before but now it doesn't
[17:11] <merciless> SOLIDUS; kk thanks for helpin me
[17:11] <scalaLove> mplayer -playlist fileName -dumpstream? jrib?
[17:11] <jrib> scalaLove: maybe, check the man page
[17:11] <S0LIDUS> merciless, No probs ! Long live Ubuntu!
[17:11] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: you can delete the Xubuntu partitions then rerun the installer. It will see the free space and you can reset up the install
[17:12] <alesan> hi how do I convert from ogg to mp3? I need mp3 for the iphone
[17:12] <CkhiKuzad> please dont !patience me for this, but its likely my question wont be answered now that its in a scroll area
[17:12] <jrib> alesan: ffmpeg would be one way
[17:12] <CkhiKuzad> what directory would my firefox add on preferences be located in on ubuntu?
[17:12] <om26er> alesan: sudo apt-get install soundconverter
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> S0LIDUS: your command doesnt work as you were trying to mount /dev/sdc wich is wrong. You can't mount disks, you mount /dev/sdc1 which is a partition
[17:12] <luomo> My network manager tries to connect to my DSL modem through wifi but then message comes:"wireless connection is disconnected". I have installed ubuntu 9.10 on my machine. Please help
[17:12] <alesan> om26er, I did not ask how to install
[17:13] <jrib> CkhiKuzad: you should probably just ask your real question but it's ~/.mozilla/
[17:13] <scalaLove> jrib, how to get commands for mplayer? help mplayer?
[17:13] <alesan> om26er, soundconverter is sox?
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> S0LIDUS: merciless, sudo mkdir /media/usb; sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /media/usb -o uid=1000
[17:13] <jrib> scalaLove: man mplayer
[17:13] <CkhiKuzad> ah thank you jrib
[17:13] <om26er> alesan: its a converter
[17:13] <Guest86962> anyone have any luck connecting a iphone?
[17:13] <S0LIDUS> ActionParsnip, My bad, thanks!
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> merciless: /dev/sdc is the disk itself, you only mount partitions, /dev/sdc1 is the first partition
[17:13] <CkhiKuzad> i need it so i can copy my adblock filters from debian to ubuntu without rebooting
[17:13] <scalaLove> jrib, man is a command in linux for lot of programs, gives you manual? it is not just for mplayer?
[17:14] <alesan> om26er, is that a GUI application?
[17:14] <om26er> alesan: yes
[17:14] <mka> alesan: "ffmpeg -y -i "file.ogg" -f wav - | lame - "file.mp3"
[17:14] <jrib> scalaLove: correct
[17:14] <mka> alesan: ffmpeg -y -i "file.ogg" -f wav - | lame - "file.mp3"
[17:14] <resno> i plan on upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 anything i should know?
[17:14] <CkhiKuzad> yay i found it! thank you for your help jrib
[17:14] <om26er> resno: yes, plz do a clean install instead of upgrading
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> resno: new kernel may knock out some hardware if you compiled drivers
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> om26er: worth trying an upgrade first, if its bad then clean install
[17:15] <baalsgate> Can anyone help me INSTALL NVIDA drivers .. how can i install kernel source so i try the manual Nvidia install ?
[17:15] <merciless> ActionParsnip; I am getting error /dev/sdc1 does not exist
[17:15] <resno> om26er: why do you suggest that?
[17:15] <ubuntu> hey guys, I'm on the livecd right now trying to get gigolo to work to mount a remote ssh FS, I have it conected in gigolo but now how do I open it up in a file manager?  clicking the connection and clicking "open in filemanager" doesn't do anything, and neither does copying the uri and pasting it in thunars bar, suggestions?
[17:15] <resno> ActionParsnip: has the upgrade been that bad?
[17:15] <Guest86962> Hello all. I am a real newbe here. have done 3 upgrades so far. is it ok to romove previous versions from grub???
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> resno: its completely individula, some say its fine, some say its terrible
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> merciless: then run: sudo fdisk -l   to check the partition you need to use
[17:16] <om26er> resno: clean install is better and many problems that people face with upgrade were not there when they clean installed
[17:16] <resno> ActionParsnip: ok, then i will go head and back up everything
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> merciless: you can use: http://pastebin if you want to share
[17:16] <ljsoftnet> ActionParsnip: ah, if i install xubuntu on an NTFS file system, and then set the size for ubuntu to be install in, the installer will create a new partition for xubuntu?
[17:16] <prappl93> Guest86962, It *should* be as long as you are 100% satisfied with the newest version... it is nice to have some to fall back on in worst-case scenarios.
[17:16] <merciless> ActionParsnip; its /dev/sdc
[17:16] <geomi> hi all. trying to install ubuntu 9.10 i386. During the partition phase i just get an empty box; without any option other than canceling. it does detect my /dev/sda HDD though when i try in terminal. whats going on here?
[17:16] <CkhiKuzad> woot! now my adblock works perfectly
[17:16] <ActionParsnip> resno: should have a backup anyways.....
[17:16] <resno> om26er: i acutaly did an upgrade on my laptop and its was pretty bad
[17:17] <scalaLove> jrib there is no such option dump stream
[17:17] <resno> ActionParsnip: dually noted.
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> merciless: thats the disk, there must be a /dev/sdc1
[17:17] <h00k> I'm on my netbook with Netbook Remix, I deleted the envelope applet in the tray, Notification Applet, how does one get that back?
[17:17] <jrib> scalaLove: I didn't say "dump stream"
[17:17] <ljsoftnet> ActionParsnip: ah, if i install xubuntu on an NTFS file system, and then set the size for xubuntu to be install in, the installer will create a new partition for xubuntu?
[17:17] <merciless> ActionParsnip; http://paste.ubuntu.com/335364/
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> merciless: has the device been in a windows system?
[17:17] <prappl93> geomi, did you do an MD5sum on the ISO before burning it?
[17:17] <jrib> scalaLove: are you in the man page now?
[17:17] <scalaLove> yes jrib
[17:17] <om26er> h00k: right click and add to panel and search for indicator-applet
[17:17] <luomo> My network manager tries to connect to my DSL modem through wifi but then message comes:"wireless connection is disconnected". I have installed ubuntu 9.10 on my machine. Please help
[17:17] <jrib> scalaLove: type exactly this: g/-dumpstream<ENTER>
[17:18] <h00k> om26er: add to panel isn't an option on the netbook remix
[17:18] <merciless> ActionParsnip; ya i had to put it in a windows system which had virus....and i need to preserve the data as its my academic files for my project
[17:18] <om26er> h00k: it is
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> merciless: did you use the safetly remove hardware function or did you just rip it out?
[17:18] <scalaLove> jrib, g/ stands for?
[17:18] <jiiiiiiiig> can someone please help me get the virtual system in virtual box to connect
[17:18] <om26er> h00k: you have to first move the notification area a bit left then right on the empty space
[17:18] <h00k> om26er: ...I can click things and "remove from panel"
[17:18] <geomi> prappl93: yes, but i didnt do a cd check yet. nevertheless it doesnt appear to be a cd bad sector issue.. it does detect my HDD, it skips the usual partition screen where it asks for "guided and use all space" or "manual paritioner" or something.. it goes straight to a white screen where u manually select partitions
[17:18] <merciless> ActionParsnip; I had to rip it
[17:18] <jrib> scalaLove: g/ doesn't stand for anything.  g is a command to go to the top of the man page and / searches
[17:18] <resno> jiiiiiiiig: connect to what?
[17:19] <exploreralex1> how to open a .bin extension??
[17:19] <Guest86962> is there a newbe chanel?

[17:19] <jrib> exploreralex1: what do you actually want to accomplish?
[17:19] <canthus13> anyone know of a ncurses user management utility?
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> merciless: simply ripping it out can and will damage data
[17:19] <h00k> om26er: oh, hey, for some reason I was under the impression that they weren't movable.  Idiot move, there.  Got it.
[17:19] <resno> Guest86962: this is THE channel
[17:19] <canthus13> Guest86962: #ubuntu-beginners, #ubuntu-beginners-help
[17:19] <jrib> Guest86962: you can ask questions of any level in this channel
[17:19] <ljsoftnet> ActionParsnip: if i install xubuntu on an NTFS file system, and then set the size for xubuntu to be install in, the installer will create a new partition for xubuntu?
[17:19] <Guest86962> ok thank you
[17:19] <prappl93> Geomi, you should check the disc probably. Sorry, but I am rather newish to this but I was just suggesting help. Maybe try your luck by burning a new disc
[17:19] <resno> well, shut my mouth. learned something new
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> merciless: there is no partition listed on the device which is why its not mounting
[17:20] <mka> geomi, are you able to manually configure your partitions on this "white screen" then?
[17:20] <scalaLove> jrib it found it, so what now
[17:20] <nulled> jiiiiiiiig: setup up net adaptor 1 to   p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }     Adapter 1:   PCnet-FAST III (NAT)
[17:20] <jrib> scalaLove: so now read it and use it?
[17:20] <geomi> mka: no it doesnt list any HDD... i got this issue before i think.. but with another system.. this is rather annoying
[17:20] <h00k> om26er: thanks
[17:20] <geomi> mka: its a bug i believe, not a cd issue
[17:20] <merciless> ActionParsnip; okk so i'll get windows in a box and safely remove it....as there no other alternative
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: you dont install xubuntu on an ntfs partition, you will need to resize the ntfs so you have unpartitioned space which the installer can then use
[17:20] <Guest86962> I'm a bit older & have been using windows for years, realy new to this OS. i have a question on security
[17:20] <om26er> h00k: np :)
[17:20] <ActionParsnip> merciless: not as far as I can see
[17:20] <BitWraith> What caused the recent problems with Xephyr on ubuntu? I'm having similar problems on another distro and I would love to know how you guys fixed it.
[17:20] <mka> geomi, a bug with what?

[17:20] <fititnt> hiho all. Did anyone know some way to download recorded stream (.FLV ) videos from ustream.tv ?

[17:21] <exploreralex1>  jrib: i downloaded a file java ee sdk 5. it has a .bin extension. i have to install theis on a pc which doesnt have net connection. but now i cant figure out how to install a .bin file.
[17:21] <geomi> mka: an installer bug; the partition phase doesnt see the HDD and just .. drops me to manual paritioner without any option other than to cancel the install
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> merciless: if you dont abuse your hardware, it will work as you expect
[17:21] <ljsoftnet> ActionParsnip: ah ok thanks
[17:21] <geomi> this is not the first time i had that
[17:21] <om26er> !ot | fititnt
[17:21] <jrib> exploreralex1: read sun's documentation.  You can cd to the directory containing the file and run ./name_of_file.bin
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: you can make life easier by making the ntfs not take up 100% of the space and you wont have to resize
[17:21] <tyranos_> Guest86962, just post your question
[17:22] <merciless> ActionParsnip; okkk can't help it because windows is self abused....
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: this involves planning the partitioning when you install the windows system and using custom sizing rather than using the windows default 100% size
[17:22] <Guest86962> is it recomended to install a firewall when using this OS?
[17:22] <exploreralex1>  jrib: thanks. i'll try doing that.

[17:24] <merciless> ActionParsnip; will that help not getting further problems

[17:37] <mka2> merciless, there should be at least sdc1
[17:37] <merciless> mka2; ohhh i have some important files in it...i dont know why its empty
[17:37] <CkhiKuzad> well, i have 512 megs of ram, 133 jiggabytes left, and a 24 bit graphics card
[17:37] <darck1> Yeah I've googled LOTS - I'm sure there's a way of doing it just not sure how. ssh doesn't care about color depth but you should be able to configure the x server to act differently depending on what display it's going to right?
[17:37] <CkhiKuzad> (the jiggabytes is a joke in my family)
[17:38] <mka2> merciless, the best way I can recommend is to try mounting it on windows
[17:38] <merciless> mka2; ok
[17:38] <guntbert> !ot | CkhiKuzad
[17:38] <mka2> merciless, and turn the network off by removing the internet cable
[17:38] <merciless> mka2; why so
[17:38] <CkhiKuzad> guntberg, it was one line of off topic, explaining something i said.
[17:38] <nulled> http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R7.0/doc/html/i810.4.html
[17:38] <mka2> merciless, you said something about viruses
[17:39] <LjL> CkhiKuzad: that's not much information, is it? GNOME and KDE don't take up very different amounts of resources.
[17:39] <mka2> merciless, so I dont want the virus to have any network upperhand
[17:39] <merciless> mka2; ya the system in which we inserted had virus
[17:39] <CkhiKuzad> well gnome works pretty well on my system
[17:39] <nikola> hi , i cant get a 2048x1152 resolution on Ubuntu 9.10 with ATi Radeon 4650HD Graphic card.... any ideas ?
[17:39] <geomi> mka2: just for some feedback, the Ubuntu 8.04 ISO installs correctly without any issue. so this really is a bug with the installer on 9.10
[17:39] <LjL> CkhiKuzad: then no reason KDE wouldn't do likewise, methinks
[17:40] <nulled> Gnome and KDE take about 256 megs.. where as Vista takes 800
[17:40] <CkhiKuzad> so its kubuntu-desktop right?
[17:40] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : was a few perl warnings but looks like no errors
[17:40] <LjL> CkhiKuzad: yes, though kubuntu-desktop won't install just KDE, but also all the KDE programs included with Kubuntu
[17:40] <CkhiKuzad> crap
[17:40] <LjL> CkhiKuzad: those are really mostly part of KDE, though.
[17:40] <CkhiKuzad> the last time i installed KDE, i didnt like it, and when i uninstalled it all the K programs were left
[17:40] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : still there is an error with modprobe in loading Nvidia module
[17:41] <nulled> you can run gnome apps in KDE and KDE apps in Gnome...
[17:41] <LjL> CkhiKuzad: then you didn't really uninstall it
[17:41] <mka2> geomi: before you say so, do you "dd" of your disk and an "md5sum" of your resulting ISO and then check against the MD5SUMS on the ubuntu.com release web page
[17:41] <CkhiKuzad> and 'apt-get autoremove' didnt get rid of them
[17:41] <LjL> !kubuntu-desktop | CkhiKuzad
[17:41] <LjL> CkhiKuzad: you can't just remove the metapackage to remove the whole thing. you have to either make good use of the "autoremove" feature of APT, or remove the core libraries
[17:42] <LjL> !puregnome | CkhiKuzad
[17:42] <geomi> mka2: i used dd on my /dev/sda while using the 9.10 livecd, both to read from it, and to write zeroes to it to wipe the partition table that existed
[17:42] <mka2> geomi, the ubuntu md5sums web URL is: http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/MD5SUMS
[17:42] <nulled> remove a core package and that will remove apps that depended on them,
[17:42] <CkhiKuzad> thanks Ljl
[17:42] <Witch-King-VT> how to fix problem with auto loading subtitles in totem ubuntu 9.10
[17:42] <CkhiKuzad> that explains most of what i was wondering
[17:42] <Witch-King-VT> everibody knows about it
[17:42] <nikola> cant get a 2048x1152 resolution on Ubuntu 9.10 with ATi Radeon 4650HD Graphic card.... any ideas ?
[17:43] <mka2> geomi, I dont think we talk about the same thing
[17:43] <ManDay> How do I quit an ssh session without first detaching my screen inside it?
[17:43] <geomi> mka2: i already did a cd check, its not a cd read error. those are easy to detect the cdrom drive will spin up and down and it will take a long time.. none of that is the case here. its a software bug/regression in the ubuntu installer
[17:43] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : still there is an error with modprobe in loading Nvidia module  " invalid option 'Q'
[17:43] <mka2> geomi, how did you do a CD check?
[17:43] <geomi> mka2: using the menu option Check for CD defects
[17:44] <geomi> as far as i know, that uses md5/SHA checksums too
[17:44] <mka2> geomi, that is not convincing
[17:44] <CkhiKuzad> also i have another question, this is just based on opinions of people (im trying to make sure it is better because other people who have used it)
[17:44] <VirusTB> UHmmmmm H
[17:44] <CkhiKuzad> should i use KDM or GDM?
[17:44] <maverick_> hello, my firefox keeps crashing after i tried to install a few addons, i ran firefox in safemode, but no avail, even tried installing epiphany and seamonkey to google for solutions, but they crash too...any ideas?
[17:44] <mka2> geomi, yes you are right but it uses md5sums on files inside the cd, not the iso as a whole
[17:44] <Cur5e> !intel
[17:44] <om26er> CkhiKuzad: +1 GDM
[17:45] <om26er> CkhiKuzad: sorry i thought you asked gnome or kde
[17:45] <mka2> geomi, if your iso matches the ones in http://releases.ubuntu.com/karmic/MD5SUMS then you are 100% sure
[17:45] <CkhiKuzad> i did earlier
[17:45] <CkhiKuzad> and im installing KDE right now
[17:45] <geomi> mka2: should be no difference.. if the files are intact with the checksum there should be no read errors or corruption issues. but ill do as you say if you really think it makes any difference
[17:45] <VirusTB> Virtual Box! I need some help >>
[17:45] <LjL> i thought "Check CD for defects" just checked the MD5 of the disc.
[17:46] <CkhiKuzad> im going to wikipedia KDM and check KDE-look to see if it has the themes i like
[17:46] <VirusTB> here is my issue!  My Virtual Box wont see my CD drive, so I cant install a Virtua Machine! :(
[17:46]  * om26er thinks CkhiKuzad will come back to gnome after a bit of testing KDE
[17:46] <baalsgate> FOUND THE ANSWER !!!!
[17:46]  * CkhiKuzad agrees with om26er
[17:46] <skysong_> if he finds xfce he won't be coming back im afraid.
[17:46] <geomi> mka2: also gonna try with alternate and server ISO, after that ill file a bug report
[17:46] <baalsgate> for future people edit "/etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video"
[17:46] <scalaLove> what is this love of typing for linux users? why the dislike of GUIs?
[17:46] <tobzel> my cups driver doesnt work so i wanna install it as raw to use it from windows but i cant select raw since he wants to install the driver so how to delete cups drivers?
[17:46] <maverick_>  hello, my firefox keeps crashing after i tried to install a few addons, i ran firefox in safemode, but no avail, even tried installing epiphany and seamonkey to google for solutions, but they crash too...any ideas?
[17:46] <comicinker> mka2: start firefox in a terminal and post the output somewhere
[17:47] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : the fix is to edit /etc/modprobe.d/lrm-video
[17:47] <nikola> cant get a 2048x1152 resolution on Ubuntu 9.10 with ATi Radeon 4650HD Graphic card.... any ideas ? please guys, im kinda stuck , cant get my monitor to run normaly :/
[17:47] <maverick_> comicinker: it shows segmentation fault
[17:47] <VirusTB> here is my issue!  My Virtual Box wont see my CD drive, so I cant install a Virtua Machine! :(
[17:47] <mka2> comicinker: what?
[17:47] <CkhiKuzad> aha i found a solution for the whole KDM or GDM, how do i switch between the two?
[17:47] <comicinker> mka2: what does ldd `which firefox` show?
[17:47] <resno> CkhiKuzad: log out and switch session
[17:47] <geomi> VirusTB: u use .iso files as virtual cdrom, not perse your physical cdrom
[17:47] <CkhiKuzad> KDM! not KDE
[17:48] <CkhiKuzad> resno
[17:48] <mka2> comicinker: I never asked any question related to firefox
[17:48] <rstob911> VirusTB: go to #vbox  for your answer
[17:48] <CkhiKuzad> i know how to switch sessions, i've been using linux since i was 13
[17:48] <maverick_> comicinker: i did not get you...
[17:48] <CkhiKuzad> but i need to know how to change the login manager between GDM and KDM
[17:48] <maverick_> comicinker: 	not a dynamic executable
[17:48] <Besogon> hello. Has someone successful done HIDDEN BOOT with grub2? I can't do it. In spite of GRUB_HIDDEN_MENU_QUIET=false I don't see timer. And GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=4 don't work well.
[17:48] <comicinker> hm. sorry
[17:49] <ManDay> Hello, my gnome-panel, the window list in particular, hangs up when it is vertical and I open more than 8 windows
[17:49] <hoban> hello. my sister's computer was upgraded to hardy and now the internet works only sporadically. I've spent 2 days troubleshooting it (and I'm no newbie to linux) and am fed up and would like to downgrade her box to hardy and just use LTS from now on. The only possible issue I foresee by reinstalling an older version of ubuntu is that she has her whole system mirrored using mdadm. would the new metadata work with an older version of mdadm?
[17:49] <resno> CkhiKuzad: i thought youve been using since 13? you dont know?
[17:49] <ManDay> !hardy
[17:49] <nikola> cant get a 2048x1152 resolution on Ubuntu 9.10 with ATi Radeon 4650HD Graphic card.... any ideas ? please guys, im kinda stuck , cant get my monitor to run normaly :/
[17:50] <maverick_> nikola: try to install the restricted drivers from system --> administration --> hardware drivers
[17:50] <CkhiKuzad> resno, i have been using linux since i was 13. i know how to change from GNOME to KDE, and vice versa, but not how to change the login manager
[17:51] <Anthony2323e> is there a way to enable 802.11n mode on the drivers in the kernel?
[17:51] <PigFlu> Guys, why can't i open my usb-drive?
[17:51] <llutz> CkhiKuzad: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm/kdm
[17:51] <PigFlu> it says unable to mount volume when i try to open it
[17:51] <CkhiKuzad> thank you llutz
[17:51] <CkhiKuzad> i will copy that to a text document

[17:52] <guntbert> maverick_: there is a program pastebinit, install it
[17:53] <maverick_> guntbert: thanks
[17:53] <PigFlu> i went to places->computer-> and double clicked "usb-device"
[17:53] <maverick_> nikola: then i have no idea :)
[17:53] <mka2> PigFlu: is it a usb device?
[17:53] <ManDay> om26er, ok in the meantime, any alternative to gnome-panel?
[17:53] <PigFlu> well, its connected through the usb-port.
[17:53] <guntbert> !pastebinit | maverick_
[17:53] <PigFlu> so yes
[17:53] <rek> hi
[17:53] <ManDay> maybe something like a floating window list?
[17:53] <ManDay> i really need a well configuratble window list
[17:53] <ManDay> (which isnt gnome-panel)
[17:54] <rek> hw can i set an user and his logging options? in vsftp
[17:54] <om26er> ManDay: idk ;-)
[17:54] <nikola> maverick_: well thanks anyway :) i guess i ll have to keep asking :)
[17:54] <ManDay> fair nuff
[17:54] <ManDay> :)
[17:54] <mka2> PigFlu: oh yes, use terminal and paste output of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/"
[17:54] <maverick_> comicinker: http://paste.debian.net/53225
[17:54] <jonz> does anyone know why i would type `fdisk -l` or `fdisk /dev/sda` and get 0 bytes of output (just blank, nothing comes out)
[17:55] <nikola> cant get a 2048x1152 resolution on Ubuntu 9.10 with ATi Radeon 4650HD Graphic card.... any ideas ? please guys, im kinda stuck , cant get my monitor to run normaly

[17:56] <maverick_> comicinker: no not yet, will try now and let you know...
[17:56] <mka2> nikola: how did you try to do this?
[17:56] <guntbert> jonz: byobu
[17:56] <jonz> thanks!
[17:56] <nikola> ubottu: sorry
[17:57] <mka2> PigFlu, are you winning?
[17:58] <nikola> mka2: added a new mode in xrandr    "xrandr --newmode "2048x1152" 156.80 2048 2096 2128 2208 1152 1155 1160 1185 -hsync +vsync "
[17:58] <PigFlu> mka2: What?
[17:58] <Pholious> does anyone know why I cannot resize with Gparted? I select ext3 and it won't let me create/resize a new partition
[17:58] <mka2> PigFlu, are you progressing with your external drive?
[17:58] <PigFlu> no
[17:59] <PigFlu> I typed what you said into terminal
[17:59] <eniacpx> Hey all, I just installed server 9.10 lat night and I am having some wierd console issues. When i hit '/' while in aptitude I get an uncaught exception, something about being unable to read stdin. After it closes my keyboard is all messed up and I cannot use certain keys, like the letter 's'. Any ideas?
[17:59] <PigFlu> and i PM'd you the result.
[17:59] <mka2> PigFlu, and then?
[17:59] <mka2> PigFlu, oh, didnt see that
[17:59] <nikola> mka2: it shows up in the resolution list in xrandr but cant select it,  "xrandr: cannot find mode 2048x1152"
[17:59] <guntbert> Pholious: the partion must not be mounted, best try from a live CD
[18:00] <mav> yess! it worked
[18:00] <mav> thanks a lot..
[18:00] <Pholious> guntbert, aaahh alright, hmm I upgraded from 9.04 with the button, don't have the 9.10 CD I think
[18:00] <mka2> nikola:  I dont like xrandr
[18:00] <mka2> nikola: why dont you try to cleanup your xorg.conf to defaults and use the default display gui?
[18:01] <guntbert> Pholious: that should not matter, you can use any live CD (within a reasonable age :-))
[18:01] <jensm1> Hi! Anyone who want to guid me thru a linux installation right now? I've tried myself but failed several times. I am installing it to my netbook. Would you like to guid me?
[18:01] <Pholious> guntbert, aahh ok ty, will try and follow this video on how to load it up
[18:01] <t1m> hi there
[18:01] <scalaLove> if something like eclipse blocks in linux how to kill the proces?
[18:01] <guntbert> Pholious: Good luck :-)
[18:01] <Pholious> ty :)
[18:01] <t1m> what is better ubuntu or kubuntu?
[18:02] <guntbert> !best | t1m
[18:02] <nikola> mka2: i did , but i dont know how to edit the xorg.conf file ... i cant find a comand line to put in xorg for 2048x1152 resolution
[18:02] <t1m> i mean
[18:02] <t1m> for first linux system
[18:02] <mka2> PigFlu, I dont see any USB device there but anyway, use "sudo fdisk -l" and paste it again
[18:02] <t1m> i newbie
[18:02] <mav> aww...sadness firefox still crashes when i press addons
[18:02] <scalaLove> how to kill a process in ubuntu?
[18:02] <llutz> t1m: no difference then
[18:02] <Pholious> guntbert, this is a must to do before installing windows right? I want it on there as some games don't run good enough through winehq yet, unfortunately :(
[18:02] <khensthoth> t1m: If you came from Windows, you *might* feel that KDE is more familiar.
[18:03] <t1m> ok
[18:03] <mav> scalalove: press f2...type xkill and click on the process u wanna end..
[18:03] <t1m> i ll install kubuntu)
[18:03] <mav> scalalove: alt + f2 sorry..
[18:03] <t1m> 10x
[18:03] <guntbert> Pholious: I couldn't tell you about that, sorry
[18:03] <Pholious> ok ;)
[18:03] <rstob911> t1m: the real only diffences are gnome or kde4 if you like a more windows like system use kde4 if you want something different ise gnome which is ubuntu
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> rstob911: and the default apps, if you like kde apps, use kde, gnome apps, use gnome
[18:04] <TheLearningC> hello, help
[18:04] <scalaLove> mav the list is empty after i write xkill
[18:04] <rstob911> remember you can use most gnome apps in kde4 but not so much the other way around
[18:04] <Flare183> !ask | TheLearningC
[18:05] <Delano-212297112> My bars in GNOME have disappeared. Alt+F2 doesn't work. I tried deleting all the gnome directories in my /home folder, no luck. What do I do?
[18:05] <llutz> rstob911: what kde-apps you cannot use in gnome?
[18:05] <Pholious> guntbert, the 'ubuntu live cd' is just the basic installation iso burned to a disc right?
[18:05] <mav> scalalove: if you want to end a particular process, then you can go to system --> administration --> system monitor and end there
[18:05] <Delano-212297112> Hello?
[18:05] <rstob911> i really dont know since i really dont use gnome
[18:05] <Bolvadur2> Delano-212297112:  hi
[18:06] <mav> scalalove: you get crosshairs in xkill which you can use to end programs for which u see the gui
[18:06] <khensthoth> Delano-212297112: In the terminal, run gnome-panel
[18:06] <llutz> rstob911: so pls stop spreading this FUD
[18:06] <Delano-212297112> khensthoth, how can I bring up the terminal?
[18:06] <guntbert> Pholious: if its not the alternate CD or the server CD - yes
[18:06] <Delano-212297112> khensthoth, none of the key combos work
[18:06] <Samuli^> does anyone else have a "unsupported hardware" nagscreen at the bottom right after installing fglrx drivers?
[18:06] <Pholious> guntbert, ok ty :)
[18:07] <TheLearningC> Ok, I installed Ubunut 9.10, worked great.  Did the updates to all teh software, now it boots to a grub menu and not to Ubuntu
[18:07] <baalsgate> ActionParsnip : still not working not loading nvidia driver
[18:07] <khensthoth> Delano-212297112: even Ctrl+Alt+F1? Try pressing that to go to a console. To come back press Ctrl+Alt+F7
[18:07] <doddo> Hello!! The bash has a thing where u type in the program and it does not exist and then it tells me where  can download the program from. What does this come from? It is not in the profile?
[18:07] <Bolvadur2> Delano-212297112: if you are having real problems ALT+Ctrl+F4  (can be any F button from 1 to 7) and Alt+Ctrl+F7 to go back
[18:07] <Samuli^> theleaningC, probably because of kernel update
[18:07] <scalaLove> mav what do you mean croshairs?
[18:08] <mav> scalalove: if u type xkill, the cursor changes to an X..
[18:08] <nikola> Samuli^: drivers for what hardware?
[18:08] <guntbert> doddo: I'expect its an alias - maybe set in /etc/bashrc
[18:08] <TheLearningC> Samuli, what do I do then?
[18:09] <foo> Ubuntu remix GUI is kind of slow after a recent upgrade. Any tips? The UI just seems laggy.
