[18:27] <astrostl> 8 LTS: "ssh server 'echo $PATH'" would have the user's interactive path.  10 LTS: the same command only shows the system path.  if logged in fully via ssh, the user's interactive path is again present.  what changed from 8 to 10?
[18:27] <induz> hello
[18:28] <arox> I searched it and tried a suggestion to run a chkdsk on c: through Windows then restart, but it didn't work.
[18:28] <rocket16> Hey guys, an idea just came to my mind. When reinstalling Ubuntu, we need to install/remove specific packages, make changes to wallpapers, settings and so on, add PPAs of our favourite packages and such to customize it as it was. Now, can we just make a bash script or so to automate the process?
[18:28] <rothchild> coz_ ok, can I pull the trigger? ;-)
[18:28] <coz_> rothchild,  yep once the icedtea package are all ready to uninstall go for it
[18:28] <smallfoot-> why ubuntu software center start slow?
[18:28] <sacarlson> DexterLB: I setup an total ipv6 local network and found it almost imposble to support windows without ipv4 but ubuntu is ready
[18:29] <coz_> rothchild,  if you need to play dvds  and othere media leave synaptic opened
[18:29] <Typh> hrm, fresh 10.10 upgrade, my fonts randomly get all weird looking and unreadable. In terminal mostly, but I just noticed it in evolution mail as well. Resizing the window seems to fix it temporarily, and they get more messed up over time.
[18:29] <eaglewatch> Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10?
[18:29] <B45h_V|> rocket16 most of it is done by just keeping your /home direction
[18:29] <eaglewatch> Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10?
[18:29] <jpds> smallfoot-: You have a slow machine?
[18:29] <B45h_V|> *directory
[18:29] <DexterLB> sacarlson: aww that's awesome, but how do you handle outbound connections?
[18:29] <smallfoot-> no its fast
[18:29] <DexterLB> with tunnels?
[18:29] <rocket16> B45h_V|: Thanks, but that wouldn't certainly include/exclude packages, will it?
[18:30] <bitplane> Hi, is there a test app I can use to see what mouse buttons are what? I'd like to get compiz switching working like it does in Windows
[18:30] <B45h_V|> rocket16: it won't but for all I know you can export a list of your installed packages
[18:30] <chemist^> hello everyone, i've got a problem here: i'm trying to compile a driver for my wifi card and i can't get past the point where i do "make" command
[18:30] <sacarlson> DexterLB: in ipv6?  I translated them all to ipv4 since my ISP is only ipv4 and all ipv4 trafic to ipv6 including dns
[18:30] <rocket16> B45h_V|: Ah, thanks.
[18:31] <rothchild> coz_ it's mostly that app I posted but I'm interested nevertheless
[18:31] <DexterLB> sacarlson: so all requests are ipv6 in the network, and gateway translates them to v6?
[18:31] <coz_> rothchild,  ok in synaptic  hit Search and type    ubuntu restricted
[18:32] <coz_> rothchild,   you want to install the ubuntu restricted extras  also if you intend on dvd play back let me know
[18:32] <sacarlson> DexterLB: yes all trafic on lan is ipv6 and all is translated in the router to ipv4
[18:32] <rothchild> coz_ I have all of that stuff, I just didn't clock the different java versions for the flight planning app for my father
[18:32] <coz_> rothchild,  is this 32 or 64 bit system
[18:32] <DexterLB> sacarlson: I'd so like to do that
[18:32] <astrostl> 8 LTS: "ssh server 'echo $PATH'" would have the user's interactive path.  10 LTS: the same command only shows the system path.  if logged in fully via ssh, the user's interactive path is again present.  what changed from 8 to 10?
[18:33] <rothchild> coz_32
[18:33] <coz_> rothchild,  ok in terminal  run this command           sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[18:33] <eaglewatch> Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10?
[18:33] <coz_> rothchild,  then go here   http://packages.medibuntu.org/maverick/w32codecs.html  and at the bottom of the page click the i386  in blue to download the w32codecs and install them as well
[18:34] <sacarlson> DexterLB: I abandoned it since most of my customers couldn't use it with window,  I will have to wait until windows adapts ipv6 without ipv4 stack before I try again
[18:34] <sacarlson> DexterLB: and I thought we only have about 1 -2 years left before ipv4 is totaly full
[18:35] <bitplane> the answer was "xev"
[18:35] <bitplane> :)
[18:35] <coz_> rothchild,  that should take care of media playback ,,,, now you can test that java app to see if it works now
[18:35] <bitplane> x11 event viewer, says mapped buttons when you push them
[18:35] <eaglewatch> Hi, why the UNlock button does not work in my Xubuntu 9.10?
[18:36] <bitplane> is there a GUI app for configuring the wheelrc thing?
[18:36] <coz_> eaglewatch,  not sure ...did you try the #xubuntu channel ??
[18:36] <induz> ok I have installed Hindi keyboard but now I want to install hindi spell dictionary
[18:36] <induz> how can i do that
[18:36] <induz>  please help me
[18:37] <aggrav8d> hi!  where do i go to ask questions about debugging wierd email issues?  (the kinds of things server admins should know about)
[18:38] <arox> I did some more searching and still cannot find a reason for the initramfs mounting ' error when I try to boot Ubuntu on my laptop....
[18:38] <erUSUL> aggrav8d: maybe a channel for your mta (postfix; exim )? #ubuntu-server?
[18:38] <DexterLB> sacarlson: I'm really looking forward to that day
[18:38] <DexterLB> and I'd like to see bill gates' face when that day comes
[18:38] <theacolyte> Fortunately for Bill Gates, he has basically nothing to do with Microsoft these days
[18:38] <theacolyte> I have a laptop and whenever I dock/undock it pushes all the gnome bar stuff over to the smaller resolution. is there a way to avoid this?
[18:39] <induz> hello
[18:39] <B45h_V|> anyone having an Revodrive (X2)?
[18:40] <rothchild> @coz_ good work the flight planner is working for me now! Awesome. Now just to talk my dad through it!
[18:40] <colinb> Hi all. I am working on a friends computer who is disabled and the hassle of having to unlock his gnome keyring at log in is too much.  Is there a way to automate the keyring login?
[18:41] <sacarlson> DexterLB: well windows has taken a totaly different model in it aproach to tunnel to ipv6 now when needed and still depend on ipv4 for all else, so with tunneling you are totaly dependent on the tunnels that windows has setup for you.  so they can monitor all your trafic
[18:41] <Eber> Guys... I'm trying to use SSHFS but I'm getting an error "Connection reset by peer" with the command "sshfs xxxx@trych.com:/home ~/trych -p XXXX" where xxx is the user and XXXX is the port... any hints?!?

[18:44] <Deddly> I'm having an audio problem. Sound playback is crackly, popping at best (sometimes just a buzz when I change settings in Mixer). The computer is an IBM Thinkpad T-22. Xubuntu 10.04 LTS. DSL works fine though. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
[18:44] <acicula> KM0201: he asked how to get specific permissions, which was already answered above
[18:44] <erUSUL> KM0201: he wanted -rw-r--r-- *not* rwxrwxrwx

[18:45] <acicula> shubbar: depends, can you still dump the disk as a raw image?
[18:46] <shubbar> acicula, i still can see 2.6 GB used of the 8GB
[18:46] <arox> :/ Is there anyone who can help with a mounting error in initramfs when I try to boot Ubuntu onto my laptop?
[18:46] <eaglewatch> join #xubuntu
[18:46] <shubbar> acicula, i don't know how to dump raw file
[18:46] <dyn> i've just installed ubuntu 10.10, and nautilus is completely unusable... if i change the desktop background to a solid color and try to choose solid color, is crashes.. if i try to add something to the panel and choose a new icon, it crashes... if i open up Computer, and just type in the directory to scroll down, it crashes.... HELP
[18:47] <acicula> shubbar: is the disk damaged somehow or did your just lose a file that you are trying to recover?
[18:47]  * BluesKaj shrugs , no patience , no reward :P
[18:48]  * arox sighs
[18:48] <acicula> shubbar: if the latter the linked wiki page may have some pointers, as long as you dont write to the disk like add new files you stand a good chance of recovering a file since its probably using something like FAT
[18:48] <shubbar> acicula, seems my card reader corrupted the SD card, it was reading them fine in the camera
[18:49] <shubbar> acicula, when i returned it to the camera it wanted to format the card
[18:49] <Deddly> Nobody know how to fix crackly noises in the audio?
[18:49] <gobbe> dyn: are you sure that your hardware is fully functional, sounds like problems with memory
[18:50] <arox> Or a mounting error when you boot? :(
[18:50] <nemo> Deddly: might want to check PA buffer size
[18:50] <nemo> Deddly: ditto alsa if you're using it
[18:50] <nemo> Deddly: I assume your card does not do HW mixing
[18:50] <dyn> gobbe: I have had no problem using 10.04
[18:50] <BluesKaj> dyn, looks like you have an unstable graphics driver, turn off desktop effects if they're on and look in system hardware for additional drivers, choose the recommended one and install it .
[18:51] <BluesKaj> BBL....mail run
[18:51] <Deddly> nemo: OK thanks for the attention. How do I check PA buffer size?
[18:51] <gobbe> dyn: ok then its not :)
[18:51] <acicula> shubbar: may just be a software error and not an issue with the disk.
[18:51] <dyn> BluesKaj: I believe you are correct
[18:52] <dyn> BluesKaj: on my previous versions, i've had to tweak.. lemme do that..
[18:52] <shubbar> acicula, maybe, but know i want to recover my photos
[18:52] <Deddly> nemo: The sound goes totally crazy when I move the sliders in Mixer
[18:52] <shubbar> erUSUL, photorec seems promising, but the man page is very short
[18:53] <erUSUL> shubbar: its webpage has a step by step tutorial.

[19:08] <acicula> Design3r: dunno, sorry have to go for a bit, visitors
[19:08] <techbreak> KM0201, afraid of how to doing that in boot-up
[19:08] <erUSUL> luke_: maybe the ntfs partition is mounted with "noexec"
[19:08] <Design3r> acicula: ok
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> erUSUL: sounds like s/he's trying to run an executable from an ntfs partition
[19:08] <KM0201> techbreak: so the command worked to enable your wireless, right?
[19:08] <telcnas> iuke_ u have to install the app in wine if u want to use it , u cannot run it if it is installed in windows
[19:09] <erUSUL> luke_: iirc is the default in newer ubuntu
[19:09] <Charbel> hi when i try to reload in synaptic package manager i got "an error occurred" with details "W: A error occurred during the signature verification. The repository is not updated and the previous index files will be used. GPG error: http://security.ubuntu.com maverick-security Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5 Ubuntu Archive Automatic Signing Key<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubu
[19:09] <Charbel> ntu/dists/maverick-security/Release" anyone can help me fix that error ?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> luke_: unless the app is very portable it's not going to run anyway
[19:09] <erUSUL> ActionParsnip: yep it looks like it
[19:09] <techbreak> KM0201, well when i put that command wireless enabled.. so yes it did
[19:09] <KM0201> techbreak: ok.. so your wireless device works, its just for some reason its disabled on boot up.
[19:10] <erUSUL> luke_: if it is an installer for an app just copy it over to the linux partition and run from there
[19:10] <luke_> its fairly simple 32bit app, i have the same set up with xp/7
[19:10] <techbreak> KM0201, okei at least for time being I can be connected to wireless with the command.. will google for the boot up stuff.. thank you very much :)
[19:10] <wilhart> :D nice bot
[19:10] <luke_> but its very big
[19:10] <erUSUL> luke_: or remount the partition with exec option
[19:10] <shubbar> erUSUL, how big should the img file from dd be? as big as the SD card?
[19:10] <telcnas> charbel u can still install the app by restricting gpg check
[19:10] <erUSUL> shubbar: yes
[19:10] <KM0201> techbreak: well, just keep that command handy, in case you can't find an immediate solution
[19:10] <sbeck_> luke, try to copy its folder to your home directory on linux.
[19:10] <luke_> exec, do i have to reformat?
[19:11] <techbreak> KM0201, sure, I will.
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> luke_: unless its a portable app, it wont run. Windows apps throw files all over the partition as well as registry entries which wine won't have
[19:11] <erUSUL> luke_: no; remount. « sudo mount -o remount,exec /mount/point »
[19:11] <Okitain> It can work possibly.
[19:11] <Charbel> telcnas, how ?
[19:12] <Okitain> It is better to install though
[19:12] <telcnas> which distro u are using charbel
[19:13] <Charbel> telcnas, i use ubuntu 10.10 maverick
[19:13] <telcnas> apt install --no-checksig <pkgname>
[19:13] <telcnas> use this way
[19:14] <luke_> no dice
[19:14] <telcnas> apt-get install --no-checksig <pkgname>
[19:14] <Charbel> and what if i want to update ?
[19:14] <telcnas> apt-get install --no-checksig <pkgname>
[19:14] <erUSUL> luke_: paste the line from /proc/mounts that describes the ntfs partition
[19:14] <luke_> remount wont let me change permission
[19:15] <telcnas> may be apt-get upgrade --no-checksig pkgname
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> luke_: did you try: wine /path/to/file.exe  ??
[19:15] <telcnas> apt-get update will update all the packages on ur system
[19:16] <Pici> telcnas: No it will not.  update merely downloads a new package index from the repositories. 'upgrade' will upgrade packages.
[19:17] <telcnas> If you don't want to type --no-checksig in every time you could disable GPG alltogether.
[19:17] <telcnas> You can to this by editing the file /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/gpg-checker.conf: you need to change GPG::Check true;
[19:17] <telcnas> to GPG::Check false;. If you do this, you should be careful which apt repositories you use.
[19:18] <resixian> do i understand this correct, if i have 9.04, i must upgrade to 9.10, then 10.04, and finally 10.10 ?
[19:19] <Pici> resixian: Yes.
[19:19] <telcnas> well Pici it does download but nly if the pack to be downloaded is newer than the current version
[19:19] <Pici> telcnas: 'update' doesn't download any new packages.
[19:20] <telcnas> that wat i am saying that it does not allow any package it will go for each packages installed on ur system,on cannot specify a specific pack
[19:20] <shubbar> erUSUL, acicula, thanks photorec is recovering my pictures now
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: get a backup, you'll have no issue then :)
[19:22] <danielvilhas> Hi Guys
[19:22] <telcnas> well Pici i am new to ubuntu , first i used to work on rhel5
[19:22] <danielvilhas> can someone help me?
[19:23] <Pici> telcnas: Thats fine. We were all new once.  I'm just trying to educate :)
[19:23] <shubbar> ActionParsnip, with an 8gb memory i get lazy
[19:23] <vipul> can any one help me
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: you can get 25Gb of online storage for free
[19:24] <shubbar> ActionParsnip, from where?
[19:24] <telcnas> there is quite diffenrence b/w both the distros
[19:25] <nirazio> jpds: Btw, does the first command disable cache forever? What if I install some package through apt after running that command?
[19:25] <danielvilhas> I'm having the "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" error when I try to enter my iPod's files. How to solve this?
[19:25] <horseatingweeds> This system has one IDE hard drive. But I'm looking under /dev and all I'm finding are things pointing to sda sda1 sda2 and so on. Why is that?
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: http://www.windowslive.co.uk/skydrive  not sure if it flys with linux, I know someone else mentioned one a while back
[19:25] <Pici> horseatingweeds: sda is your first harddrive, sda2 is the second partition on your first drive.
[19:25] <sebikul> danielvilhas, have you updated your ipod to v4.2.1?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: I use dropbox for 2Gb free
[19:26] <danielvilhas> sebikul: yeap
[19:26] <resixian> so i'm dl'ing 10.04.1, then going to moutn and share from my samba server. on my (20+) 9.04 laptops i am looking for a quick way to upgrade from this samba share
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> vipul: have you asked your question?
[19:26] <horseatingweeds> Pici: So why are they called sda instead of hda?
[19:26] <vipul> ActionParsnip,  yes i did
[19:26] <vipul> i am config apache on my buntu 10.04 but have sort of confussion i have created an public_html from this instruction https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  but i have not get the  warning messages
[19:27] <telcnas> hda implies ide and sda sata
[19:27] <resixian> does this sound right? is there some 'noprompt' mode for do-release-upgrade?
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> vipul: have you asked in #apache  too?
[19:27] <telcnas> hda implies ide and sda sata horseatingweeds
[19:27] <Pici> horseatingweeds: There was a kernel change a few releases ago that changed that.  I don't have a link handy though.
[19:27] <sebikul> danielvilhas, execute this command and all will be solved "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pmcenery/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade"
[19:27] <vipul> there are no people ActionParsnip
[19:28] <Pici> vipul, ActionParsnip: The channel for apache web server help is #httpd
[19:28] <telcnas> hda implies ide and sda sata or ur scsi devices
[19:28] <Pici> telcnas: All hard disk devices on Ubuntu are sda.
[19:28] <vipul> * #httpd :Cannot send to channel?
[19:29] <Pici> vipul: register/identify
[19:29] <horseatingweeds> telcnas, Pici, that's what's confusing me. I read that now, the first non-IDE drive was called sda. But this IS an IDE drive, or at least it was last time I checked.
[19:29] <vipul> why i can't send the message
[19:29] <Pici> !register > vipul
[19:29] <vipul> ok
[19:29] <resixian> horseatingweeds: this change happend way back around 2.6.20 iirc, the libata driver is to blame (?)
[19:30] <telcnas> so according to u if am using ide than also it is going to be represented by sda Pici
[19:30] <gp5st> hello; i'm trying to pin php at 5.2 using http://pastebin.com/MX16pumd in /etc/apt/preferences.d/php. but apt-get install still installs php 5.3.3.
[19:30] <danielvilhas> sebikul, thanks guy. It's done.
[19:31] <Pici> telcnas: Correct.
[19:31] <sebikul> danielvilhas, no problem ;)
[19:31] <telcnas> it sounds strange as this is not the case in rhel5
[19:31] <telcnas> pici
[19:32] <Pici> telcnas: I believe  there is a legacy option that can be configured for libata to make IDE drives appear has hdX instead of the newer sdX. Perhaps thats what rhel chose to use.
[19:32] <horseatingweeds> telcnas, it must me. All I see is sda, no hda anywhere, and this system is indeed a goofy ribbon IDE
[19:33] <planedriver> does anyone know where the CD/DVD burner on ubuntu stores temporary files? It's filling up my hard drive
[19:34] <noobie25_> can someone help me with dualscreen... it breaks sidetoside ...but works topbottom
[19:35] <tripFantastic> in kernel <IP_ADDRESS>, in scripts/modpost.[ch] what's the missing value of mcaro SHN_XINDEX?
[19:35] <resixian> noobie25_: define 'broke' ? also driver and how are you doing the multiscreen setup?
[19:36] <jbraddoc> question: can messages/alerts/notifications for notifyosd be broadcasted globally on a network?
[19:36] <noobie25_> resixian:   when screen is extended ... screen 1 (ok)  screen 2 ( half is scrambled)
[19:37] <noobie25_> resixian: using opensource ati drivers ...and i'm doing the multiscreen by going to the monitors properties.
[19:38] <resixian> noobie25_: pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[19:38] <noobie25_> resixian:   i tried doing something called  glxinfo ...but i get a Segmentation Fault ....
[19:38] <resixian> noobie25_: is it recoverable ?
[19:38] <noobie25_> resixian:   sure...hold on  :)...thanks
[19:38] <noobie25_> resixian:  it recovers??  it gives me back a prompt.
[19:38] <mannyuel> what is the openoffice channel?
[19:38] <koen_> dear people :) i need help with my acer aspire 7520 laptop.. i cant config my WIFI because of all the how to links of madwifi are down.. so i cant find the correct links.. can u please help me! grtz
[19:38] <resixian> noobie25_: i mean if you go side-side does it kill X or can you just set it back?
[19:38] <yo_rmn> hello, I can see YT vids in other sites, but in YT I only see a grey sqare
[19:39] <telcnas> k now i get that Pici, the drive naming convention is changed as of kernel 2.6.22
[19:40] <noobie25_> resixian:   doesn't kill X.    I can revert back easily.
[19:41] <resixian> noobie25_: do you know how-to xrandr?
[19:41] <telcnas> k Pici tell me one thing , how can we differentiate between both ide and sata if we are using kernal v higher than 2.6.22
[19:41] <resixian> *use xrandr?
[19:41] <Roasted_> Question - Ubuntu 10.04, Intel wireless. Works great, and has worked great since 10.04 came out. I boot up randomly the other day and I have no wireless. Says it's disabled. My hardware switch is on. XP works as well. To get it to work, I must boot up with it disabled, and then re-enable it once I'm logged in. How can I fix this?
[19:41] <jbraddoc> question: can messages/alerts/notifications for notifyosd be broadcasted globally on a network?
[19:41] <noobie25_> resixian:  i read into a bit... but only confirmed the proper extended width and height
[19:41] <resixian> noobie25_: also helpful would be a pastebin the output of xrandr -q
[19:42] <Pici> telcnas: I'd guess that its exposed somewhere in /proc/ or /sys/ as lshw is able to make the distinction.
[19:43] <noobie25_> resixian:   xorg    http://pastebin.com/7YpKnj9U
[19:43] <telcnas> k thanks
[19:43] <telcnas> k thanks Pici
[19:43] <velko> noobie25_, don't know if it is the same problem. but mine was this: my graphic card can draw on one big rectangle. this rectangle could be maximal 4096x4096 pixels. if i position the screens over each other they can be fitted into this rectangle because my monitors are wider than high. but i cannot position them beside each other because the cumulative resolution exeeds 4096 from left to right
[19:44] <resixian> velko: that would be shown by xrandr -q
[19:45] <erUSUL> shubbar: no problem
[19:45] <velko> resixian, indeed
[19:45] <resixian> velko: and i'm envious of your monitors...
[19:45] <noobie25_> resixian:  xrandr  http://pastebin.com/xjfDud79
[19:46] <noobie25_> velko:   i tried to do the math..and it seemed like it would fit ....
[19:46] <resixian> noobie25_: you're using VGA-0 and DVI-0 ?
[19:46] <velko> noobie25_, yep - your graphic card can draw also max 4096 pixels. 1600x900 are used by your first monitor. which resolution has the second one?
[19:47] <noobie25_> resixian:   yes vga0 and dvi-0
[19:47] <resixian> noobie25_: so is your 2nd monitor really 1600x900 ?
[19:47] <noobie25_> velko: second monitor is also 1600x900
[19:48] <Redcoil> Hi
[19:48] <noobie25_> resixian:  they are identital monitors.
[19:48] <velko> noobie25_, hmm should be possible. so you don't have the same problem i had
[19:48] <Redcoil> Can anyone recommend me a C IDE?
[19:48] <resixian> noobie25_: how about, xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1600x900 --right-of VGA-0
[19:49] <noobie25_> velko:  i installed fedora 14 at one point...and it extends well in that distribution.
[19:49] <erUSUL> !ide | Redcoil anjuta?
[19:49] <Redcoil> erUSUL, thanks.
[19:49] <noobie25_> resixian:  yikes!!
[19:50] <noobie25_> resixian:   it extended it.... and this is the same problem i had ( half of the extended screen is scrambled)
[19:50] <resixian> noobie25_: yikes? why yikes, if its the same problem as before?
[19:51] <noobie25_> resixian:  screen blacked out for a second..!
[19:51] <resixian> noobie25_: :) it pretty much always will
[19:51] <resixian> k, try xrandr --output DVI-0 off
[19:51] <resixian> hmm.. might need to add an offset.
[19:52] <telcnas> using dual head monitor we can configure have display on two monitors,both having the same no. of virtual desktops, is it possible to divide the virtual desktops on two monitors,if yes how it can done then, thanks..........in advance
[19:52] <noobie25_> resixian:   command did not run...
[19:52] <telcnas> using dual head monitor we can configure to have display on two monitors,both having the same no. of virtual desktops, is it possible to divide the virtual desktops on two monitors,if yes how it can done then, thanks..........in advance
[19:53] <resixian> noobie25_: sorry, shoud be '--off'
[19:53] <noobie25_> resixian:   will this turn off my screen working screen?
[19:53] <resixian> noobie25_: it would turn off whicheer output you select
[19:54] <resixian> so if you want DVI-0 to stay on just substitute for VGA1
[19:54] <resixian> *VGA-1
[19:54] <noobie25_> resixian:  ok.
[19:55] <resixian> noobie25_: can you run the xrandr command again, then check xrandr -q and look at the 2nd monitors offset
[19:55] <noobie25_> resixian:  I ran the dvi-0  .     it turned it off.
[19:55] <noobie25_> resixian: xrandor -q
[19:55] <noobie25_> whoops
[19:55] <telcnas> hey pici how can we divide the virtual desktops on two monitors ,i.e. is if there are four virtual desktops , then i need 2 on each
[19:56] <velko> telcnas, i don't think this is possible
[19:56] <resixian> telcnas: this is actually sth defined by the freedesktop standards, and they never though about it
[19:56] <Redcoil> I for the life of me can't figure it out? I must apply a .patch to my kernel to fix my fans in Ubuntu but I've no idea where to start. Help, anyone?
[19:56] <noobie25_> resixian:   xrandr outptu   http://pastebin.com/j3pnX2vV
[19:56] <resixian> telcnas: some tiling window managers behave this way by default though
[19:57] <velko> Redcoil, http://www.linuxdocs.org/HOWTOs/Kernel-HOWTO-6.html
[19:57] <resixian> noobie25_: i mean to run the xrandr --display DVI-0 --mode... command first
[19:57] <Redcoil> velko, where d'you find that?!
[19:57] <telcnas> well resixian,velco i hve seen guys with such kind of config.
[19:58] <velko> Redcoil, i typed in google "patching the kernel"
[19:58] <Redcoil> velko I googled all kinds of stuff :/
[19:58] <nemo> When using Ubuntu Startup Disc creator
[19:58] <resixian> telcnas: like i said, its not impossible. but those are actually distinct displays, they are not xinerama. or the wm handles them in non-fd way
[19:58] <nemo> does setting a large amount of "reserved extra space" permit doing filesystem updates?
[19:58] <Sheepherd> hey guys the top part of my windows with the close, minimize & maximize buttons has disappeared. :/ how can i restore it?
[19:58] <noobie25_> resixian:   sorry new to all this.    http://pastebin.com/JVmkM8i3
[19:58] <nemo> (like, apt-get)
[19:58] <nemo> or is that basically just for /home
[19:59] <nemo> Sheepherd: my guess is your window manager died
[19:59] <ZykoticK9> Sheepherd, "metacity --replace" or "compiz --replace"
[19:59] <nemo> what ZykoticK9 just said
[19:59] <resixian> noobie25_: grrr...
[19:59] <resixian> noobie25_: run the 11:48 resixian | noobie25_: how about, xrandr --output DVI-0 --mode 1600x900 --right-of VGA-0
[19:59] <resixian> ^^ command there, then check with xrandr -q
[20:00] <nemo> Sheepherd: btw, this has happened to me before, if you don't want to have to go to a terminal you can open gnome-terminal the usual way, and to focus on the commandline, you can use Search for something on it :)
[20:00] <noobie25_> resixian:  ok.... sorry.   (currently one of my monitors is still off from past command.... but i'll run that last command you asked).
[20:01] <resixian> noobie25_: i know its off.
[20:01] <resixian> noobie25_: we are loookgin to see if this is correct, http://pastebin.com/VpQTYuRb
[20:01] <noobie25_> resixian:    here we go:    http://pastebin.com/RPDLzv52
[20:01] <roy_1> i have xp on sda1, solaris11 on sda4 and ubuntu10.10 on sdb1. sda1 seems to have a bad sector which is causing problems for  everything to properly access the disks/partitions. I need some help to figure out how to properly do the partitions and install the oses
[20:02] <nemo> Sheepherd: as for *why* it just died... yeah. if you're using compiz, might want to stick to metacity for now. or use less effects
[20:02] <roy_1> Also, ubuntu is behaving rather strangely. and disk util isn't launching
[20:02] <noobie25_> resixian:   i think the offsets are correct.   when i move the mouse over tothe next screen... it perfectly moves across the screen.   its just that the far half of the screen is scrambled.
[20:03] <resixian> noobie25_: yeah. offset looks good
[20:03] <resixian> noobie25_: what happens if you move a client over the 'scrambled' part of the screen?
[20:04] <digitalfiz> whats the variable to export to set the lib directory to another or add to it?
[20:04] <noobie25_> resixian:  sure... its acts as if the buffer isn't refreshing to clean out the old image.   (imagine an old old screensaver that replicates over and over and over)
[20:04] <resixian> digitalfiz: LD_LIBRARY_PATH="<FOO>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ?
[20:04] <ps_jinx> I am not able to boot, I get this error - Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found. How to get out of this? please help me.
[20:04] <digitalfiz> resixian, lemmie try that :D
[20:05] <resixian> noobie25_: hmph.. stumped me.
[20:05] <noobie25_> resixian:  no........:)
[20:06] <noobie25_> resixian:   do you think maybe i might need an xorg.conf file?
[20:06] <resixian> noobie25_: you can try some stuff. but i don't have ati so idk any switches for it
[20:06] <ps_jinx> resixian: I am not able to boot, I get this error - Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx not found. How to get out of this? please help me.
[20:07] <noobie25_> resixian: .... maybe i might have to setup my monitors  top-bottom ....  rather than left right.
[20:07] <velko> noobie25_, i would say that your best bet is to file a bug report against the ati driver. with detailed description of what happens
[20:07] <resixian> noobie25_: you might try setting Virtual 3200 900
[20:08] <noobie25_> resixian:    how do i go about setting this ... i'm not comfortable yet using the xrandr...
[20:08] <resixian> noobie25_: also do you see any errors from 'dmesg | tail' or so?
[20:08] <noobie25_> velko:  i'll file a bug after today :)
[20:08] <resixian> noobie25_: i dont think xrandr can set Virtual, you must add to xorg.conf
[20:08] <erUSUL> noobie25_: use System>Preferences>Monitors or another of the xrandr frontends aviable
[20:09] <noobie25_> resixian:   dmesg is ok.
[20:09] <noobie25_> resixian:   could you hlpe me set up the virtual?
[20:09] <noobie25_> resixian:   there is no xorg.conf i've read with now xrandr in place.
[20:10] <B45h_V|> how big shall I make the /boot partition? and does grub2 support booting from ext4 directly?
[20:10] <resixian> noobie25_: i have a *very* old one, http://pastie.org/private/emz8jq6rbvam9fav2nigra
[20:10] <resixian> noobie25_: now that is from arch linux, with intel gfx from last year or so (i don't use one aymore)
[20:11] <grendal_prime> grrrrr
[20:11] <resixian> do you have no file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[20:11] <grendal_prime> anyone built a workring radius server with a database backend receintly?
[20:11] <resixian> ps_jinx: have you changed your HD?
[20:11] <noobie25_> resixian:  ok...so i'm going to save this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[20:11] <resixian> noobie25_: NO
[20:11] <erUSUL> B45h_V|: 1) 512 MiB is enough. 2) yes
[20:12] <B45h_V|> erUSUL thx
[20:12] <noobie25_> resixian: ?
[20:12] <resixian> noobie25_: did you see the part wher i said it was very old, for a different linux distro and differnt graphics card?
[20:12] <ps_jinx> resixian: no
[20:12] <ps_jinx> just used tweal ubuntu to remove older kernels from boot menu
[20:13] <noobie25_> resixian:  yes i read that.... i thought i can justchange little by little....=/
[20:13] <ps_jinx> and during this process i was using older version of kernel
[20:13] <resixian> ps_jinx: when you say 'dev/disk/bu-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxxxx' do you really mean it shows 'xxxx' or some long string?
[20:13] <erUSUL> noobie25_: if you want an xorg.conf to tweak generate one « sudo Xorg -configure :1 » ( will save it in your home so copy it over to /etc/X11/ )
[20:13] <Sheepherd> sry gnome crahsed completely somehow
[20:14] <ps_jinx> yes some long string and it macthes to output from sudo blkid
[20:14] <resixian> noobie25_: i think you wanna first dpkg-reconfigure or sth
[20:14] <noobie25_> resixian:  i dont' even know what that means.
[20:14] <resixian> ps_jinx: ok, well from the grub menu just edit your kernel entry and point to proper location
[20:15] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  resixian is recommending i do a dpkg-reconfigure first...
[20:15] <ps_jinx> u menu edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:15] <Sheepherd> nemo, you said i should drop compiz n replace it with what?
[20:15] <ps_jinx> *u mean
[20:15] <erUSUL> noobie25_: resixian 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg' does nothing this days ...
[20:15] <pavlushka> can u know how to reconfigure sound?
[20:16] <pavlushka> do u know how to reconfigure sound?
[20:16] <resixian> ps_jinx: well if you can't boot then idk how youd edit menu.lst, you can modify entries from the grub menu though
[20:17] <pavlushka> does anyone knows how to reconfigure sound?
[20:17] <nemo> Sheepherd: System->Preferences->Appearance->Visual Effects
[20:17] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  i got an error while running sudo Xorg -configure :1
[20:17] <nemo> Sheepherd: None = metacity
[20:17] <nemo> Sheepherd: but if you were using Extra or custom stuff with CCSM, Normal might be ok
[20:17] <ps_jinx> resixian, how to edit entries from grub menu
[20:17] <erUSUL> noobie25_: which is?
[20:17] <Jenk1> @Nickoo: .
[20:17] <resixian> ps_jinx: press 'e'
[20:18] <ps_jinx> k
[20:18] <Nickoo> @Jenk1: ,
[20:18] <ps_jinx> i will give a try .. thanks

[20:18] <fleshpike> hello, is there a way to know the speed of an ata hard drive?
[20:18] <Sheepherd> nemo, ah thx... ive been playing around with compiz lately but it seems that its not too stable
[20:18] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  maybe these errors are ok then.
[20:19] <grendal_prime> fleshpike, very fast
[20:19] <erUSUL> noobie25_: that's not an error it worked just fine; says  --> Your xorg.conf file is /home/ring/xorg.conf.new
[20:19]  * Redcoil greets
[20:19] <resixian> noobie25_: try testing the file
[20:19] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  :)
[20:19] <fleshpike> Sheepherd : what is compiz?
[20:20] <Redcoil> In order to fix my fans, an instruction mentions adding 'windfarm_core' to /etc/modules. What does this mean, and how do I do that?
[20:20] <delgan> is there an easy way of setting up samba? I've not been having too much success with it?
[20:20] <erUSUL> noobie25_: paste that file so i can take a look
[20:20] <ZykoticK9> fleshpike, you might want to try "sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda" or "sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda"
[20:20] <resixian> Redcoil: sudo vim /etc/modules
[20:20] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  http://pastebin.com/wGLkgEHT
[20:20] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=compiz
[20:21] <mincomp> hey
[20:21] <ZykoticK9> Sheepherd, please don't use lmgtfy here
[20:21] <mincomp> does anyone do any xbox spoofing?
[20:21] <Sheepherd> ZykoticK9, why not?
[20:21] <noobie25_> erUSUL:  xorg.conf.new   http://pastebin.com/kRrp7Dav
[20:21] <ZykoticK9> !google > Sheepherd
[20:21] <fleshpike> ZycoticK9 : that way can i know if it is a 33/66/100 or 133 ata hard drive?
[20:21] <resixian> noobie25_: sudo -X -config /home/ring/xorg.conf.new :1
[20:22] <Redcoil> resixian, command not found :s
[20:22] <Redcoil> resixian, even though 'man' knows vim
[20:22] <resixian> Redcoil: substitue your favorite editor fro 'vim'
[20:22] <whooby> hello I have a ubuntu-desktop that I use as a server, I have automatic login, and I use VNC however I always have to set the keyring before I can use the vnc.. how do I fix this?
[20:22] <resixian> Redcoil: e.g. 'nano' or whatever
[20:22] <Sheepherd> ZykoticK9, i actually didnt tell him to google it... it did it for him instead ;) but i'll try again.
[20:22] <erUSUL> noobie25_: you have an ati? then it is correct
[20:22] <Redcoil> resixian, alright, thanks.
[20:23] <ZykoticK9> Sheepherd, either "google it" or the site lmgtfy is considered rude here
[20:23] <erUSUL> noobie25_: you can copy the file to /etc/X11/ and begin tweaking if that's what you want to do
[20:23] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, compiz is a neat piece of software that can make your desktop a real eye-catcher.
[20:23] <resixian> erUSUL: the trouble is he tried restarting it on display :0
[20:23] <ZykoticK9> Sheepherd, much better ;)
[20:23] <Sheepherd> ZykoticK9, =)
[20:24] <k-rad> how do i save all installed packages for later installation using aptitude on a new install ?
[20:24] <Redcoil> resixian, And now reboot, I presume?
[20:24] <fleshpike> Sheepherd : is it compiz installed b default?
[20:24] <erUSUL> !clone | k-rad
[20:24] <k-rad> thank you
[20:24] <noobie25> erUSUL:   i'm on another machine.......  my screens had turned black
[20:24] <ZykoticK9> k-rad, /var/cache/aprt/archives
[20:25] <ZykoticK9> k-rad, /var/cache/apt/archives sorry typo
[20:25] <noobie25> erUSUL:   should i hit   CNTRL+V to return?
[20:25] <fleshpike> i would like  to know if my hard drive is a 33/66/100 or 133. how can i know this?
[20:25] <resixian> Redcoil: not entirely necessary
[20:25] <k-rad> fleshpike, look up your hard drive information in your bios
[20:26] <erUSUL> noobie25: :/ change to a VT ( crtl + alt + f1 ) remove the file you just copied and restart X
[20:26] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, someone correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure a very basic version is pre-installed by default, where u can use Non, Some and All graphical effects compiz has to offer but without all that tweaking.
[20:26] <k-rad> is anyone here familiar with hardware raid ?  does that work well with ubuntu ?
[20:26] <noobie25> erUSUL:  how do i restart X?
[20:26] <histo> Why is it that if you copy a link out of lets say firefox and then close firefox you can no longer paste the link.
[20:26] <erUSUL> k-rad: bios raid?
[20:26] <k-rad> yes sir
[20:26] <erUSUL> !fakeraid | k-rad
[20:26] <Jeruvy> fleshpike: you can also use hdparm to check.
[20:26] <ZykoticK9> noobie25, "sudo service gdm restart" will restart X
[20:26] <erUSUL> noobie25: sudo restart gdm
[20:27] <erUSUL> k-rad: if the machine only has linux installed is better to use linux software raid
[20:27] <Luksor> a
[20:28] <noobie25> erUSUL:   i removed teh file in my home directly .... and ran .... sudo service gdm restart... and now it shows me (X) in the middle of the screen
[20:29] <noobie25> erUSUL: *directory
[20:29] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, you can access it with System>Preferences>Compiz Settings Manager i think
[20:29] <ZykoticK9> noobie25, sounds like you don't have a windows manager / desktop environment - and it's only running X
[20:29] <erUSUL> noobie25: ? if the file is in your home folder it has no effect. only has effect if ou copie it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and you restart X ( or the computer )
[20:29] <erUSUL> noobie25: so the blackening of your screens has nothing to do with the new xorg.conf ...
[20:29] <noobie25> erUSUL:   oh..i had never copied it to my  /etc/X11 directory in the first place.
[20:30] <noobie25> erUSUL:   is that why it had turned black?
[20:30] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, it has to be installed first though... so go to the Software Center and search for Compiz
[20:30] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, there u need at least Compiz + Simple CompizConfig Settings Manager
[20:30] <resixian> noobie25: you were probably looking at a second serevr
[20:30] <BigMao> Hi there, my Evolution cache got corrupted (just the inbox), so I moved the .evolution folder to .evolution.bak and restarted; things seemed to work again.  However, now I want to access the history of sent messages in .evolution.bak.  Anyone know how I can access those messages?  Thank you :)
[20:30] <noobie25> ZykoticK9:   we were trying to get my desktop to dual screen... now trying to revert back i think.
[20:30] <erUSUL> noobie25: dunno; if the display worked when you installed the system it should work now
[20:30] <neckti3> noob here. can anyone help me with this tutorial? http://www.serverhostingsecrets.com/tutorials/ubuntucentos-pptpd-howto/ i'm on the last step. i need to enable ip forwarding
[20:31] <Sheepherd> fleshpike, Additionally the Advanced one for the mentioned tweaking
[20:31] <noobie25> erUSUL:   should i restart the computer?
[20:31] <noobie25> resixian:   what do you mean second server?
[20:31] <whooby> hello I have a ubuntu-desktop that I use as a server, I have automatic login, and I use VNC however I always have to set the keyring before I can use the vnc.. how do I fix this?
[20:31] <aantn> is anyone here part of the Ubuntu design team?
[20:31] <fleshpike> Sheepherd : got  it, i ll take a look at it
[20:31] <resixian> noobie25: did you pass the ':1' switch when testing the new xorg.conf.new ?
[20:32] <erUSUL> neckti3: edit /etc/sysctl.conf
[20:32] <noobie25> i'm not sure..
[20:32] <resixian> noobie25: ps aux | grep X
[20:32] <erUSUL> neckti3: there is a line like this --> #net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
[20:32] <erUSUL> neckti3: remove the #
[20:33] <resixian> noobie25: notice if there are > 1 /usr/X11*/bin/X running
[20:33] <erUSUL> neckti3: then run « sudo sysctl -a »
[20:33] <pero> hello i want to know how to run script when i press some button?
[20:33] <silentstorm> hi
[20:34] <noobie25> resixian:   yes....   there is 2
[20:34] <silentstorm> is there anone can help me about usplash on maverick
[20:34] <silentstorm> hi
[20:34] <silentstorm> can you help me plk
[20:34] <silentstorm> plz
[20:34] <noobie25> resixian:   1)   has the :1 switch for X -config /home/ring/xorg.conf.new: 1      2)    /usr/bin/X
[20:35] <noobie25> resixian:   hitting cntrl f7 gave me back my nice gui screen
[20:35] <ZykoticK9> whooby, turning off autologin will stop the keyring password (this is a security feature), not sure what options there are for VNC - i know with nm-applet you can select unsecure storage and keyring won't come up, not sure about vnc.  best of luck.
[20:35] <resixian> noobie25: ok, so the :0, :1 ... are the X servers DISPLAY variables
[20:35] <silentstorm> ok i know
[20:35] <stanley_> hi guys my panels have mysteriously disappeard, I was just working on my desktop and they blinked then wnet away...when I use the termila to run the xfce4-panel command I get a floating point exception
[20:35] <silentstorm> virtual tty0-8
[20:36] <resixian> noobie25: this is more than you need to know atm, but you couldn't test your new xorg.conf withtout the ':1' switch i told you about because there was already a server running on ':0'
[20:36] <silentstorm> is it ok
[20:36] <stanley_> please I need my panels I can't restart I am downloading something very important
[20:36] <resixian> noobie25: so kill the process with the :1 switch
[20:36] <stanley_> hi guys my panels have mysteriously disappeard, I was just working on my desktop and they blinked then wnet away...when I use the termila to run the xfce4-panel command I get a floating point exception
[20:36] <whooby> ZykoticK9: thx but the thing is that the server is running WLAN so I guess there is no internet connection before login ?
[20:36] <ZykoticK9> silentstorm, maverick uses plymouth rather then usplash...  are you really trying to use usplash?
[20:37] <noobie25> resixian:   it is process id   11994.     is the command     kill 11994
[20:37] <stOrmBlast>  /join #hackerss
[20:37] <ZykoticK9> whooby, um, if you are using nm-applet that can certainly be an issue.  sorry man, i'm no help.
[20:37] <resixian> noobie25: probably has to be 'sudo kill 11994'
[20:37] <resixian> noobie25: becuase it was started as root
[20:37] <noobie25> resixian:  ok...done.
[20:37] <whooby> ZykoticK9: ok well I have never to do a reboot then :D :D
[20:38] <resixian> noobie25: so now were there any errors from startig X with the xorg.conf.new ?
[20:38] <noobie25> resixian:   i don't think so...
[20:39] <resixian> noobie25: well just look in the term where you launched it from, if its ok there the you're ok
[20:39] <bitplane> can someone help give me the lowdown on how gnome and x11 work with mouse and keyboard input please?
[20:39] <phil__> can someone help me please, im playing world of warcraft, getting 2-3 second delays. internet connection is fine, and MS ranging between 1-100
[20:40] <noobie25> resixian:   i no longer have the term where i originally launched it from ....    isn't this a new term i'm in?
[20:40] <frxstrem> how can I find the device name (such as /dev/sdb) of a USB flash drive?
[20:40] <cjdevlin> frxstrem: sudo fdisk -l
[20:40] <noobie25> resixian:   wait...shouldn't i relaunch  like this:::
[20:40] <resixian> noobie25: i have no idea. i've not seen your computer once today :)
[20:40] <BluesKaj> frxstrem, in the terminal,  lsusb
[20:40] <resixian> noobie25: i guess you did do the gdm restart and then have to log back in?
[20:41] <frxstrem> cjedvlin: thanks
[20:41] <noobie25> resixian:   yes...i did a gdm restart and log back in.
[20:41] <bitplane> I'm writing an idea for brainstorm.ubuntu.com, would really like to understand a bit more so that I can write an idea that will work
[20:41] <resixian> noobie25: ok, so then yeah that terminal was closed
[20:41] <whooby> when trying to use my webcam with cheese it crashes! anyone? :)
[20:41] <resixian> noobie25: you can test it again, but list first
[20:41] <wilhart> is there nay other clients than x-chat and irssi ?
[20:41] <Bilz> has anyone recently had a problem with opening pdf files in google chrome on ubuntu 10.04? initially it would open pdf files in adobe, then it started working in the browser, now its stopped working all together. updates i presume, just wanted to make sure it wasnt just me
[20:41] <wilhart> something like x-chat but equal nice
[20:41] <noobie25> resixian:  i lost all the commands that were sent to me....
[20:41] <Jenk1> :)
[20:42] <resixian> noobie25: when you run the 'sudo X :1 -config xorg.conf.new' you will see a black screen, just press 'ctrl+alt+f7' to get back
[20:42] <chalcedony>  i'm looking for how to partition a drive in ubuntu 10.10, i want to make a partition for the os and leave the rest for home, i'm at the place in setup where it asks for "Device Type MountPoint Format? Size Used" it says: ldev/sda ATA WDCWD5000AAKS-0(500.1GB) - i'm guessing it wants me to type something there.. but what to put?
[20:42] <bitplane> wilhart: I'm using empathy, pidgin is good also
[20:42] <K350> Any web load checker - texbased...tip?
[20:42] <cjdevlin> frxstrem: np
[20:42] <guntbert> wildc4rd: look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[20:42] <resixian> noobie25: that'll bring you back to your x session on server with display :0, then you can check the term you launched from for errors, kill the :1 servr and move on
[20:42] <wilhart> bitplane, they suck i use xchat with bitlebee
[20:43] <jkg> Bilz: I had that but I never worked it out - the latest set of updates just sorted it :-/ (same happened with flash, oddly)
[20:43] <cjdevlin> bitplane: what exactly do you need to know about x11?
[20:43] <phil__> 2-3 second delays on world of warcraft, can anyone help me please??
[20:43] <phil__> not a problem with internet connection, have strong signal
[20:43] <bitplane> chalcedony: split your drive into three partitions of whatever sizes you want, one for root (mountpoint = /), one for home (mountpoint = /home/) and one for swap (at least the size of your physical memory)
[20:44] <noobie25> ok... i just ran the sudo X :1 -config xorg.conf.new.   i got a blank screen.    and i keyed  ctrl alt f7 to get back.
[20:44] <chalcedony> bitplane, wow .. ok how do i type that?
[20:44] <bitplane> type it?
[20:44] <Snigs> Hey I have a dell inspiron 6000 and am trying to install 10.10 on it (from USB), but it throws up an error about the built in CD reader (or HDD is bad, but it isn't, I've run all diagnostics and they say it's fine) won't work and exits out of the install.  Any way to get around this?
[20:44] <noobie25> resixian:   errors like the following
[20:44] <bitplane> you just use the GUI in the advanced settings during install
[20:44] <chalcedony> bitplane, i'm glad - i didn't know about the ramp part
[20:45] <chalcedony> bitplane, yes but what to put?
[20:45] <chalcedony> i want 15 gb for
[20:45] <noobie25> resixian:   Unable to locate/open config file:  "xorg.conf.new"    "GLX error:  Can not get required symbols"
[20:45] <bitplane> XT4 for filesystem, 15000, mountpoint = /
[20:45] <chalcedony> bitplane, can you give me an example of how that line has to look?
[20:45] <resixian> noobie25: you are not in the same directory as before i think
[20:46] <bitplane> You're using 10.10?
[20:46] <resixian> noobie25: iirc you had a path like 'rings/xorg.conf.new' or sth
[20:46] <chalcedony> bitplane, yes
[20:46] <bitplane> chalcedony: You don't really have to type anything, just choose the options from the drop-down menus in the advanced settings page during install
[20:46] <bitplane> at least that's what I just did
[20:46] <stanley_> anyone?
[20:47] <noobie25> resixian:  hmm...its the same directory.  .... my home directory.
[20:47] <ZykoticK9> getting an error with gtk-recordmydesktop http://paste.ubuntu.com/544174/ any suggestions on alternatives (in default ubuntu repo)? or solutions to error?
[20:47] <noobie25> resixian:   do i maybe need the :1 tag at the end ?
[20:48] <resixian> noobie25: read the error, it says it can't find the config file
[20:48] <cjdevlin> chalcedony: are you trying to do this real time or is this hypothetical?
[20:48] <resixian> noobie25: find ~ -type f -name "*xorg.conf*"
[20:48] <chalcedony> no it's real .. my husban'ds computer
[20:48] <cjdevlin> bitplane: what specifically do you need to know about x11?
[20:49] <cjdevlin> chalcedony: are you reformatting the whole thing, starting from scratch?
[20:49] <chalcedony> cjdevlin, i asked my husband, he thinks 4gb ram
[20:49] <noobie25> resixian: /home/ring/xorg.conf.new
[20:49] <chalcedony> cjdevlin, yes
[20:49] <cjdevlin> chalcedony: what is the installation media and what iso are you using?
[20:49] <resixian> noobie25: and pwd says?
[20:50] <noobie25> resixian: /home/ring
[20:50] <chalcedony> cjdevlin, it's a cd - going to a 500gb sata drive
[20:50] <resixian> noobie25: k, i guess switch the order.. seems odd though
[20:50] <bitplane> cjdelvin, I'll explain my suggestion... I'd love to see something like Logitech's mouse settings page, it has a picture of the mouse with all the buttons on it, it has descriptions of all the different axes, button names etc
[20:50] <dwarder> is it possible to autohide bottom pannel of ubuntu?
[20:50] <bitplane> Currently if I want to ID a button I have to run xev and look at the output. I noticed that my search button is bound to a keypress.... where would this live?
[20:51] <Milossh> hello. do you know how can I rename multiple files with the same name but under different directories?
[20:51] <dwarder> and make it appear upon hovering bottom side
[20:51] <phil__> 30 minites in here and nobody has answered me, please help.
[20:51] <chalcedony> phil__, restate the question?
[20:51] <noobie25> resixian: weird.  still says     "Unable to locate/open config file: "xorg.conf.new"    while running the command   sudo X -config xorg.conf.new :1
[20:51] <bitplane> I'd also like to set different key bindings for buttons depending on application (for zoom, page forward, backward), I hear this is done by imwheelrc
[20:51] <cjdevlin> chalcedony: the gui for the installer did not come up?
[20:52] <Milossh> so, I have like: 1/a.sh 2/a.sh 3/a.sh 4/a.sh  and I want to rename all of them to b.sh
[20:52] <phil__> im getting 2-3 second delays on world of warcraft, is there any way to prevent it?
[20:52] <chalcedony> cjdevlin, it's there but i didn't know what to put where, which is where we are stuck :)
[20:52] <bitplane> my question: is it feasible to have an app that edits these files? which files are they? how do we identify different pieces of hardware?
[20:52] <Pici> phil__: For support of software running under Wine please use their support channe: #winehq
[20:53] <bitplane> then embed this as a new tab in the mouse preferences page = amazing mouse settings that pisses all over Windows with default drivers
[20:53] <jkg> Milossh: "for i in `seq 1 4` ; do mv $i/a.sh $i/b.sh ; done"
[20:53] <Guest27237> have a Ralink 2561 PCI wifi card but get the following error when put into monitor mode "phy0]SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory"
[20:54] <jkg> Milossh: or there's a command line utility called "rename" that's really powerful and pattern-based, but I can't quite remember the details

[20:54] <chalcedony> oh thanks !!
[20:54] <Milossh> jkg: the first command works recursively?

[20:56] <JT_> Everytime I try to use the Ubuntu 10.10 Software Center, I get the message: "407 proxy authentication required"
[20:56] <JT_> I've already tried applying systemwide proxy settings...
[20:56] <tanath> dwarder, yes, right click empty space > Properties
[20:56] <JT_> Can someone help?
[20:56] <bitplane> JT_ are you behind a proxy?

[20:57] <ks07> Hey all - got a quick bash scripting problem: I have a file containing <some text> <file path> <more text> - How can I replace <more text> with the file path on each line?
[20:58] <bitplane> ks07, egrep or sed
[20:58] <JT_> Anybody?
[20:58] <guntbert> ks07: ask in #bash
[20:58] <cjdevlin> bitplane: x11 is the window manager. getting that input would probably be from: http://linux.die.net/man/4/mouse-driver
[20:58] <trojan_spike> JT_, u might have to just download software, 1 at a time. if there is a download limit setup,, or try a proxy / ip changer.. meaning going through a differ server,, same thing might happen tho
[20:58] <ZykoticK9> cjdevlin, x11 is NOT a windows manager
[20:58] <ks07> trying to use sed, and thanks guntbert ill go now ^^
[20:59] <JT_> Can't even download.
[20:59] <JT_> Browser working though.
[20:59] <JT_> Applied proxy settings on Mozilla.
[20:59] <shal3r_> which package contains base of tools in ubuntu? like `ps`, `ls`
[21:00] <morten__> How do I update my onboard videocard in Ubuntu Netbook 10.10?
[21:00] <guntbert> ks07: sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh -- Good luck :-)
[21:00] <marco_> scribblej
[21:00] <trojan_spike> aye but the server at ur college isnt letting u download
[21:00] <ks07> np lol ty
[21:00] <JT_> Tried doing so systemwide, and specified the authentication, but no nothing...
[21:00] <JT_> "407 proxy authentication required".
[21:00] <sybariten> hey hey, i get messages like this when doing sudo apt-get update  ...   W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz   ... so i suspect that aint too good
[21:00] <trojan_spike> have u access to the system server setting?
[21:00] <JT_> I assume there's a way around it.
[21:00] <phil__> Nobody is answering in wineHQ :(
[21:00] <definity> for some reason my window manager has not opend and all i am in is console, what the command to restart gnome or the window x?
[21:00] <JT_> nono
[21:01] <trojan_spike> phil__, whats up?
[21:01] <trojan_spike> JT_, bypass the server?
[21:01] <tbrock> any ideas guys
[21:01] <phil__> World of warcraft is having some 2-3 second delays, getting really anoying.. was wondering if someone could me sort it out
[21:01] <JT_> @trojan_spike: How??
[21:02] <trojan_spike> phone port?
[21:02] <JT_> Don't think a bypass possible.
[21:02] <JT_> ethernet.
[21:02] <sjm> definity, probably:  /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[21:02] <definity> thanks sjm :)
[21:02] <JT_> there's gotta be a way to specify the authentication username and password.
[21:03] <ZykoticK9> shal3r, coreutils
[21:03] <trojan_spike> phil__, sorry,, not great with WOW .
[21:03] <JT_> did so in network settings, but it isn't working on software center.
[21:03] <JT_> Anyone?
[21:03] <phil__> Its just delay problems on a game, :(
[21:04] <trojan_spike> JT_, i cant see anyway around it. ur hooked to what the college allow i guess
[21:04] <guntbert> JT_: did you look at system/preferences/network proxy ?
[21:05] <JT_> i'd say it within bounds.
[21:05] <JT_> just cant get the center to authenticate with the proxy server.
[21:05] <guntbert> !who | JT_
[21:06] <sjm> JT_, Did you try putting in the authentication in the settings/url?
[21:06] <cjdevlin> *x11 is gui protocol for networked computers*
[21:07] <JT_> @sjm: you mean Preferences>Network Proxy??
[21:07] <sjm> JT_, I can't remember the syntax exactly, but you might try something like setting your proxy to:  user:password@<proxy server IP or fqdn>
[21:08] <root_> hy hy
[21:08] <sybariten> hm, i just realized the support period for my distro has passed
[21:08] <guntbert> root_: don't do IRC as root
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> that's a REALLY bad idea
[21:09] <ks07> haha thanks for redirecting me guntbert, got my answer :)
[21:09] <guntbert> ks07: :)
[21:11] <sybariten> what does it mean that a package is installed "without verification" ?
[21:12] <bibic682> hello
[21:13] <bibic682> can anyone give me some simple steps to set up a philips saa 7134 tv tuner
[21:13] <PetrHH> hello, I'd line to use MySQL embedded but can't find it in Synaptics. Is it in Ubuntu?
[21:14] <stanley_> hey guys can anyone help me with my panels problem, I am using xubuntu 10.10 and my panels disappeared while I was working on a document, I used the xfce4-panel command and they just flickered then disappeared
[21:14] <Xeross> Where can I modify my grub entries in 10.10 /boot/grub/menu.lst doesn't exist
[21:14] <sjm> !grub2 | Xeross
[21:15] <JT_> "407 proxy authentication required". Anybody got any way around it??
[21:15] <puppy> How do i install the galaxy live background? I can not find a good tutorial online
[21:15] <sjm> JT_, did you try what I suggested?
[21:15] <guntbert> !info libmysqld-dev | PetrHH
[21:15] <JT_> sjm, the command you specified isn't working.
[21:16] <JT_> sjm, but i think you're pointing in the right direction.
[21:16] <sjm> I didn't specify and command.
[21:16] <sjm> JT_, in the configuration, set your proxy to that.
[21:16] <nirazio> how to create a gpg key and how to encrypt the file with that key???
[21:16] <sjm> JT_, s/and/any/
[21:16] <JT_> sjm, the system configuration??
[21:17] <PetrHH> guntbert, Thank you. I have installed this package, but it dosnt include any *.so file.
[21:17] <JT_> sjm, you mean the systemwide proxy settings??
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> Xeross: what do you want to achieve?
[21:17] <bibic682> tv time won't see my tv card
[21:17] <PetrHH> guntbert, only *.la files.
[21:17] <PetrHH> guntbert, it is OK?
[21:17] <sjm> JT_, in your proxy configuration settings, rather than just putting in the ip or fqdn of the proxy, prepend the authentication information
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: have you configured the tv card?
[21:17] <bibic682> thats what I need to do
[21:18] <JT_> sjm, i did that already.
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: then tvtime can wait, you need to set up the device before worrying about tvtime at all
[21:18] <JT_> doesn't seem to be affecting the software center.
[21:18] <bibic682> I seen it on a page earlier and didn't bookmark it
[21:18] <cjdevlin> JT_: http://geekswithblogs.net/technetbytes/archive/2007/08/11/114573.aspx
[21:18] <bibic682> a few lines of code and it should be done
[21:19] <bibic682> its a philips saa7130
[21:19] <guntbert> PetrHH: sorry, I really have no idea, all I did was search for the info you gave ...
[21:19] <Bilz> i have a partition mounted, and when i access it through terminal and run a command like ls it looks ugly. the text highlighting is different. any ideas?
[21:20] <nirazio> how to create a gpg key and how to encrypt the file with that key???
[21:20] <TwoRoses> Hi. Could someone help me understand how to burn the ubuntu image in a way that it's bootable?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> has anyone ever had this: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj93/andrew_woodhead666/colors.jpg?t=1292448020    (hope the link works)   I use the vga cable, it's always a blue affair
[21:21] <Redcoil> For some reason, my Ubuntu Software Center has stopped working, it briefly loads and then crashes. What to do?
[21:21] <cjdevlin> TwoRoses: what os are you currently using and what did you download?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: let me websearch
[21:22] <TwoRoses> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10. I dowloaded the ISO for ubuntu 10.4
[21:22] <bibic682> TwoRoses      burn the ISO file to disk, make sure the disk is bootable
[21:22] <Jeruvy> !burn | TwoRoses
[21:22] <TwoRoses> Okay, thank you.
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: http://sites.google.com/site/jobinau2/saa7130basedtvtunercardunderlinux
[21:22] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: what are we lookin at?
[21:23] <JT_> cjdevlin: ya, that's my problem.
[21:23] <JT_> but what exactly do i do to fix it?
[21:23] <bibic682> I will try that  thanx ActionParsnip
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: its not my setup, but i have a system hooked to a TV via VGA and it's always blue like that sort of thing, even in BIOS
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> bibic682: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/debian-ubuntu-linux-configure-pinnacle-pctv-tuner.html
[21:23] <JT_> cjdevlin: i'm new to ubuntu, so i'll need some clear directions...
[21:23] <cjdevlin> TwoRoses: there is also an option to create a bootable flash drive. depending on what you want to do.
[21:24] <Redcoil> For some reason, my Ubuntu Software Center has stopped working, it briefly loads and then crashes. What to do?
[21:24] <snake> What is wrong with 10.10?
[21:24] <sjm> JT_, do you know what kind of proxy it is?  (e.g. squid, MS ISA, etc)
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: what is the output of: sudo apt-get update    use: http://pastie.org   to give the output
[21:24] <ActionParsnip> snake: its not as mature as the others is all I can think of, otherwise its fine
[21:25] <JT_> sjm: Not exactly. The instructions on how to configure the proxy for firefox say its an HTTP proxy.
[21:25] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: maybe a cable/connector problem?  I take it that is a DLP the pc is connected to?
[21:25] <JT_> http://geekswithblogs.net/technetbytes/archive/2007/08/11/114573.aspx: can anybody make any sense out of it??
[21:25] <sjm> JT_, I'm doing a little looking here... found a few posts on NTLM authentication
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: digital light projector?
[21:26] <JT_> sjm: ty ty.
[21:26] <JT_> sjm: do try and go through the link i posted above.
[21:26] <JT_> maybe you can make some sense out of it...
[21:26] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: ya.  I think thats what it stands for.
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: its (probably) a low end 32" toshiba flatscreen TV with VGA input. I have an Xorg.conf so it has a decent res and I'm using nvidia proprietary drivers which are running fine, just that everything is blue
[21:26] <sjm> JT_, does this page help?  http://www.allquests.com/question/2472861/Solved-407-Proxy-Authentication-Required-Feisty.html
[21:27] <wathek> Hi all I'd like to know I got the Nvidia GTX 295 which better : installing nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com or getting that from repo ? (I'm using maverick)
[21:27] <Bilz> hello. im looking at the first post of this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=93706&page=2 and it says "set permission to execute", what does that mean? I did make the file and save it and tried to run it but it says permission denied. I then run it with sudo and it can't find the command...
[21:27] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/1380832
[21:27] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: I presume it looks fine on another input?
[21:27] <RunTimeWorld> hello all.. is there an alternative to GIMP as i dont feel very confortable with that software
[21:27] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, It's in german unfortunately, but means something like 'malformed code row 59 in Source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:27] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, and "The list of source sould not be read"
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: ok what is the output of: cat /etc/apt/sources.list | head -n 59 | tail -n 1
[21:28] <sjm> JT_, I know what you are talking about, that link/page doesn't talk about this.
[21:28] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, http://bersace03.free.fr/pub/Linux/iMac%20G5/windfarm-pm121.patch main
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: i have the yellow connector fro the Red/White/yellow connection method and that hooks up but the text is scewed, but then again I havent tried it since the new xorg.conf. Might be a solution :)
[21:29] <sjm> anyone, Software Center is just a frontend to aptitude/apt-get, right?
[21:30] <tejaishot> i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called?
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: thats not a deb repositository dude
[21:30] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: I hope it's not a bulb problem.
[21:30] <JT_> sjm: tried the link you just sent.
[21:30] <JT_> now i'm getting the message: 403  Forbidden [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80].
[21:30] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, I've no idea.
[21:30] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, I dabbled at attempting to do shit I don't understand earlier involving that, so that may very well be a reason
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: run: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list   and comment out the line
[21:30] <Xeross> ActionParsnip: After further investigation I found out that I just had to purge the old kernel packages to remove them from the boot list
[21:30] <Xeross> ActionParsnip: Normally I just comment them out
[21:31] <guntbert> !language | Redcoil
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: it plays the Virgin Cable TV just fine
[21:31] <Redcoil> guntbert, Whoops, sorry.
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: i've tried 2 VGA cables too
[21:31] <sjm> JT_, it looks like you got through the proxy at least now.
[21:32] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, "comment out the line"?
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: only thing I can think is the nvidia card is dying
[21:32] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: that is strange.
[21:32] <shcherbak> Redcoil: put # in front of something
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: add a hash character to the start of the line, save the file and run: sudo apt-get update
[21:32] <JT_> sjm: so what d'you think the problem is now??
[21:32] <xicote_wapito> bien coño bien
[21:32] <sjm> ActionParsnip, do you know if the Software Center is just a frontend to apt-get/aptitude?
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> sjm: yep, thats all it is
[21:33] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, whee, it's doing stuff
[21:33] <sjm> ActionParsnip, ok, thanks
[21:33] <guntbert> sjm: no, all three are fron ends to the same backend
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: if you add nonsense to your sources file it will stop it working
[21:33] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, Okay, thanks. I'll watch my actions from now on. Thank you!
[21:34] <sjm> JT_, can you try running "sudo apt-get update' from the command line to see what you get?
[21:34] <sjm> guntbert, apt? or dpkg?
[21:34] <tejaishot> i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called?
[21:34] <sjm> guntbert, I was more asking if the configuration for aptitude would do for the Software Center too (proxy, etc.)
[21:35] <guntbert> sjm: if I understand it correctly, the database is apt, but I may err
[21:35] <atila> bueno para cuando el capitan america??
[21:35] <sjm> !es | atila
[21:35] <sjm> !ot | atila
[21:35] <Jeruvy> ActionParsnip: did you try different outputs on the card?
[21:35] <JT_> sjm: another error. 403  Forbidden [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80].
[21:35] <Redcoil> Has 10.10 got an SVN client by default?
[21:35] <medvind>  /join #agdata
[21:35] <medvind> haha
[21:36] <medvind> sorry.
[21:36] <atila> hahaha
[21:36] <FloodBot2> medvind: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:36] <atila> ok
[21:36] <feros> hello there :)
[21:36] <atila> well, where are the girls in america?
[21:36] <atila> what channel?
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: it has vga, the white one that can be converted to vga and svideo (like playstations use etc)
[21:37] <guntbert> sjm: at least the settings for synaptic and software center should be shared, and "software sourdes" are shared across the whole system (so they apply to apt...)
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> Jeruvy: might try converting the white one to vga
[21:37] <sjm> JT_, looks like your proxy is denying access to the repos.  Can you contact the network people who administer the proxy to see?
[21:37] <rww> atila: freenode isn't a dating service. I suggest you not treat it as one.
[21:37] <tejaishot> guntbert: i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called?
[21:37] <JT_> sjm: I can try.
[21:37] <sybariten> holy crap i cant install anything anympore
[21:37] <feros> I'm looking for some help :) Installed Ubuntu 11.04 and is trying to talk to a friend over skype. My Mic aint working :) Mayday :3
[21:38] <JT_> sjm: So you're saying they're blocking access to the software center sources??
[21:38] <rww> feros: Ubuntu 11.04 discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1, not here.
[21:38] <guntbert> tejaishot: no idea, sorry, please ask the channel and not individuals
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> sybariten: wht is the output of: sudo apt-get update    use http://pastie.org to give the output, thanks
[21:38] <feros> sorry sir :) tnx for the help :)
[21:38] <Praxi> On a ubuntu server box I haven't looked at in a long time, someone here helped me add a line to a file, so my server would do something at startup.  I now need to remove that, can anyone suggest some common places I might check to run commands @ startup?
[21:38] <ivan_> ciao
[21:38] <sjm> JT_, that's what I would guess right now.  It looks like your authentication is now working, but the page is blocked.  Can you get there in a browser?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> JT_: you can still access sources in sources.list or sources,d etc as normal
[21:39] <rww> Praxi: /etc/rc.local would be my first guess
[21:39] <ivan_> devo configurare amule adunanza
[21:39] <JT_> sjm: where exactly?
[21:39] <rww> !it | ivan_
[21:39] <sybariten> ActionParsnip: i can begin by saying: "intrepid"
[21:39] <sjm> JT_, be right back...
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> sybariten: yep, that covers all
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> sybariten: intrepid is dead and gone
[21:39] <sybariten> ActionParsnip: i figured so.....
[21:39] <rww> !eol
[21:39] <JT_> sjm: okok. I'll be right here.
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> !intrepid
[21:39] <atila> somebody from Spain?
[21:39] <rww> sybariten: second link in ubottu's message has upgrade information and links to the repository archive
[21:39] <atila> :P:P
[21:40] <Praxi> Perfect that was it, thanks rww
[21:40] <tejaishot> ActionParsnip: i have a problem when i am trying to install updates...shows an error connection to daemon lost....what is this called?
[21:40] <pitoow> nc -vv -l -p 21 whats wrong with this command ?
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> sybariten: if you grab the alternate ISO for each successive release, you can upgrade using that (obviously MD5 test each). Or you can do a clean install of Karmic or newer, I suggest Lucid as it is LTS
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: wht is the output of: sudo apt-get update    use http://pastie.org to give the output, thanks
[21:41] <sybariten> rww: yeah... well... i bet i will need to get more space on the machine...   i have 160 megs free now....
[21:41] <vece_>  mkdir -p jeff/{email,homework,classwork,notes} dave/{email,homework,classwork,notes} phil/{email,homework,classwork,notes} vik/{email,homework,classwork,notes}.  this at the command line creates 4 directories each with 4 subdirectories.  but when i put it in a file called an.sh, and do sh and.sh, 4 directories are created, each with a subdirectory {email,homework,classwork,notes}
[21:41] <tejaishot> ActionParsnip: sure
[21:41] <rww> sybariten: I'd recommend more space, yes ;)
[21:42] <Bilz> this is the first time i actually install a program properly on ubuntu. anyway, on installing it asks me which folder to install in (im installing maple). the default is /home/billy/maple13. Whats the c:\program files\ equivalent in ubunut?
[21:42] <tejaishot> ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/1380881
[21:42] <sjm> JT_, in a browser can you access http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu
[21:43] <sybariten> Bilz: you got a question on where to install the program?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: natting is discussed and supported in #ubuntu+1
[21:43] <sjm> JT_, (through the proxy)
[21:43] <Bilz> sybariten, yeah basically. is that the "right" place to install it?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: natty is not even beta yet and will have feature holes and LOTS of bugs
[21:44] <pinkpanther> Hi everyone... I am new to linux and I have a question regarding ubuntu
[21:44] <JT_> sjm: everything opening fine on Mozilla.
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: ask away
[21:44] <Praxi> Hi pinkpanther I'm new also, but ask away :)
[21:44] <tejaishot> ActionParsnip: yeah..
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: so your support isn't here
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> tejaishot: your release is offtopic for this channel
[21:45] <pinkpanther> alright well I have an hp dv3 laptop, and I am running ubuntu 10.10 (x64 -- 32 bit) and my integrated mic and webcam and headphones worked fine, then yesterday it stopped all of the sudden
[21:45] <sybariten> Bilz: uhm... well maybe someone else here can evolve more on whether its a good place or not, but that is not a very common procedure generally in any case
[21:45] <ngirard> Hi all. As silly as it seems, could you please confirm that, for the Intel Atom Dual Core D525 processor, I should download ubuntu 64bit ?
[21:45] <pinkpanther> my mic isnt muted and as far as I know i have the appropriate alsa drivers installed
[21:45] <Bilz> sybariten, well where is the general place to leave installs?4
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: run: alsamixer   in a terminal, be sure all levels are cranked and not muted
[21:46] <ZykoticK9> ngirard, i believe most of that Atoms are 32bit - not sure about yours in specific
[21:46] <JT_> sjm: everything fine on mozilla, so i'd assume the proxy should work for software center too.
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: what is the output of:   wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh     if it isn't muted
[21:46] <sybariten> Bilz: maybe except for commercial software... i suspect maple may be that math soft? The normal procedure when you install software is that the OS takes care of where to put stuff. Particularly when installing via a so called package manager, which is very common
[21:46] <atila> alguien Español?
[21:47] <rww> atila: /join #ubuntu-es
[21:47] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: all levels maxed
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> !es | atila
[21:47] <Redcoil> If there isn't a PPC binary of an application I'd like, must I build it myself with its source?
[21:47] <ngirard> ZykoticK9: Aha, okay, that's why I read about people installing ubuntu 32bit on their machines. I got it. Thanks very much !
[21:47] <pinkpanther> running command right now :)
[21:47] <rww> ngirard: the D525 will work with 32-bit or 64-bit, yes.
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: if there isn't a ppa, then most likely
[21:47] <Bilz> sybariten, yeah its a commercial maths software. i just always take /home/user to be my documents sort of place
[21:47] <sybariten> Bilz: otherwise you can "build" the software from source files, but even then, in most cases, you dont bother with specifying where the files should go, coz....  well they will end up in a couple of different places
[21:47] <ngirard> rww: oh, really ?
[21:47] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, is SVN built-in in 10.10?
[21:47] <feros> *sigh* Giving up, no help on no channels >: Will try again later on :/
[21:48] <Bilz> sybariten, so it didnt make sense to me to install it there. but i dont know where else to install it.
[21:48] <rww> ngirard: yup. x86_64/amd64 processors can run either
[21:48] <Bilz> sybariten, no, this comes with an installer
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: you can use svn, yes
[21:48] <mehwork> why does smb.conf have a 'read only' and a 'writable' option what's the diff? isn't read only = no and writable = yes, the same thing?
[21:48] <ngirard> rww: alright, thanks rww for your feedback !
[21:48] <Bilz> sybariten, never mind, its getting installed in my user directory
[21:48] <Bilz> whats the worst that could happen eh
[21:48] <sybariten> Bilz: yeah...  well that behaviour is, if you ask me, not at all common for linux, but ofcourse it exists. Personally i'd probably make a dir called "bin" under /home/Bilz
[21:48] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: brittany@Zoolander:~$ wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh --2010-12-15 16:48:17--  http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh Resolving alsa-project.org... <IP_ADDRESS> Connecting to alsa-project.org|<IP_ADDRESS>|:80... connected.

[21:48] <Praxi> hmm, how do I uninstall Snorby from my server
[21:48] <sjm> JT_, you did put in your proxy configuration of apt this, right?   Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port";
[21:49] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, so after getting svnkit it's jsvn?
[21:49] <sybariten> Bilz: well nothirng really, hopefully it will make a directory of some sort anyhow, so that will be fine
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: tell the script YES, then copy the link in rED
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> Redcoil: ive not used it dude
[21:49] <Redcoil> ActionParsnip, okay. Thanks
[21:49] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=a43546e6a9db35770590ea84a70678470332feb5
[21:50] <JT_> sjm: tried, but no, i didn't.
[21:50] <JT_> can you tell me how to?
[21:51] <sjm> JT_, just a minute...
[21:52]  * kehcho sau: hi all || dice: hola a todos
[21:52] <aaaaaa> Does anyone know how to make a bootable usb from a windows 7 ISO?
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaa: i'd ask in ##windows
[21:53] <aaaaaa> I dont have a computer with windows on to do it with, only linux
[21:53] <linxeh> !unetbootin | aaaaaa
[21:54] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: command is running
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaa: seems unetbooting can do it
[21:54] <aaaaaa> oh, i thought it only worked with Linux ISO files
[21:54] <linxeh> oh maybe I'm wrong
[21:54] <linxeh> maybe you should ask in #warez or something
[21:55] <pinkpanther> Should I go ahead and restart?
[21:55] <wathek> Hi all I'd like to know I got the Nvidia GTX 295 which better : installing nvidia driver from www.nvidia.com or getting that from repo ? (I'm using maverick)
[21:55] <frxstrem> aaaaaa: according to http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/, it only does work on certain Linux distros (no Windows)...
[21:55] <linxeh> aaaaaa: there are lots of tutorials for building bootable usb windows install sticks though
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> aaaaaa: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/install-windows-7-from-usb-drive-requires-2-simple-steps/
[21:56] <sjm> JT_, did you try opening up synaptic and under Preferences -> Network putting in the Manual settings with your user/password under the Authentication button?
[21:56] <linxeh> aaaaaa: maybe nLite will do what you want ?
[21:56] <JT_> sjm: yes, but to no avail.
[21:57] <aaaaaa> linxeh ActionParsnip Thanks :D ill try them both
[21:57] <sjm> JT_, did you try those settings with your systemwide proxy settings set to direct connection (no proxy)?
[21:57] <linxeh> aaaaaa: http://forums.vr-zone.com/mobile-computing-tablets-notebooks/210722-how-use-nlite-thumbdrive-install-winxp.html
[21:57] <JT_> sjm: yes, but again, to no avail.
[21:57] <linxeh> I know thats for XP, but the principles should be the same
[21:57] <pinkpanther> Im going to try to restart and see if microphone works
[21:58] <Chilaquiles> hey I was wondering how can I set up 2 commands when I start up ubuntu?
[21:58] <sjm> JT_, try in /etc/apt/apt.conf puting in the settings
[21:58] <carlos2> hello?
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: to run before or after login?
[21:59] <Chilaquiles> why do I have to startup ndiswrapper every time I start ubuntu?
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: you don't. Just add the word: ndiswrapper   to /etc/modules
[21:59] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip: I actually wouldn't like to run those commands every time after I log in: sudo su -
[21:59] <carlos2> can anyone help with ubuntu 10.10 netbook?
[21:59] <Chilaquiles> and then
[22:00] <nairanvac> carlos2: What's the issue?
[22:00] <Chilaquiles> modprobe ndiswrapper
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: use sudo -i   instead, its more suitable to your environment
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: yes, if you add the word like I said above it will be loaded
[22:00] <wilhart> was there another softaware than wine ?
[22:00] <carlos2> i installed it on a dell inspiron min 10
[22:00] <Chilaquiles> right but can I set it up modprobe ndiswrapper
[22:00] <sjm> JT_, you should have these two lines in /etc/apt/apt.conf:   Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port";   and     Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://username:password@proxy:port";
[22:00] <Chilaquiles> ok where exactly in modules I add that?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: at the bottom...
[22:00] <carlos2> and when i load it up after install, i get the error of missing drivers for unity, must run in desktop mode
[22:01] <Chilaquiles> ok let me open the file
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: use: gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[22:01] <JT_> sjm: can't seem to edit the apt.conf file...
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: and add the line
[22:01] <nairanvac> carlos2: No idea, man.
[22:01] <sjm> JT_, sudo to edit it.
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> JT_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf
[22:01] <wilhart> what was it lin4win ?
[22:02] <aaaaaa> Anyone have one of those 1000mw alfa usb adapters?
[22:02] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip: do I have to add the line sudo su - ?
[22:02] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, or what line exactly?
[22:02] <JT_> sjm: should i copy/paste this exactly: Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port"
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: no, thats a list of modules to load at boot, so just add the word: ndiswrapper   on its own line
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: the next available line
[22:02] <Chilaquiles> ok
[22:02] <nairanvac> I'm having some audio issues.  The other day, I was using Banshee and it froze up.  When I restarted, my sound was screwed.  All I get is static any time sound is being played.  Any suggestions?
[22:02] <Chilaquiles> ok
[22:03] <sjm> JT_, replace the username:password with your credentials  and the proxy:port with the IP and port of the proxy
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: save the file, close gedit, reboot to test
[22:04] <JT_> sjm, do i keep the http:// and the inverted commas??
[22:04] <sjm> JT_, yes
[22:04] <sjm> JT_, Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port";
[22:05] <sjm> JT_, Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://username:password@proxy:port";
[22:05] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, I want to add the file but it says Read-only
[22:05] <sjm> JT_, start the line with the word Acquire and end the line with the semicolon
[22:05] <Chilaquiles> do I have to open it in the terminal?
[22:05] <eazyigz> what is the easiest way to upgrade to ubuntu 11 from 10.10 (without losing my files and settings)?
[22:06] <Praxi> Chilaquiles: did you do sudo?
[22:06] <sjm> eazyigz, what for it to be released.
[22:06] <Chilaquiles> I did sudo su -
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: thats becuase you only opened it in a text editor.I told you how to open it correctly so you mustve missed it or ignored me, scroll up
[22:06] <JT_> sjm, okok.
[22:06] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: after the restart, my microphone worked for soundrecorder and when I tried to record another sound, with sound recorder immediately after, it didnt work
[22:06] <eazyigz> sjm: i'm one of those curious users who wanna try everything early
[22:06] <sjm> eazyigz, s/what/wait/
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: quit using that, you'll break your system
[22:06] <JT_> sjm, just to get it all straight:
[22:06] <JT_> I edit the apt.conf file.
[22:06] <eazyigz> sjm: what is s/what/wait/
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: run:  gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[22:06] <tanath> eazyigz, 'sudo update-manager -d'
[22:06] <JT_> set systemwide settings to direct internet access
[22:07] <JT_> and set synaptic settings to manual proxy?
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: thats the RIGHT way to get write access with gedit to files you don't normally have access to
[22:07] <Chilaquiles> ok
[22:07] <sjm> eazyigz, correcting my typo in the first comment from "what" to "wait"
[22:07] <JT_> sjm, correct?
[22:07] <ubuntu> karol
[22:07] <eazyigz> tanath: thanks, is that like a partial upgrade?
[22:07] <ubuntu> Hi :]
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: if you do what I say, it will work, its really that simple
[22:07] <tanath> eazyigz, it checks for development releases and offers you the option to upgrade to it
[22:08] <pinkpanther> mic doesnt work in sype either ...
[22:08] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, Yeah I just added the line
[22:08] <eazyigz> tanath: awesome, thanks
[22:08] <tanath> eazyigz, it'll be a complete dist-upgrade
[22:08] <sjm> JT_, try with the systemwide set to direct and just that in /etc/apt/apt.conf and then from the command line try "sudo apt-get update"
[22:08] <Bilz> argh! cant disable apache2 from startup, using sudo chkconfig apache2 stop.  any ideas
[22:08] <eazyigz> tanath: is it like apt-get upgrade?
[22:08] <JT_> sjm, okok.
[22:08] <tanath> eazyigz, kinda, yeah
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: ok, svae the file, close gedit and reboot to test
[22:08] <JT_> sjm, one question: my id has a backslash in it.
[22:08] <JT_> sjm, do i just input it as is?
[22:08] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, let me reboot then.
[22:09] <helix_9> hello, how can i create a connection to my hp photosmart c4780 via Ad-Hoc  wlan? hplib says this : http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/3441/bildschirmfotohpdevicem.png
[22:09] <eazyigz> another question: I got this Jawbone Jambox bluetooth speaker, and I cannot figure out how to set my audio output to go to it.  I paired it successfully thus far
[22:09] <sjm> JT_, try it just directly.  the quotes will probably keep it as a true backslash.
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> helix_9: set your wireless adapter to ad-hoc and connect to the HP5E whatever network
[22:10] <developerhealey> Hello... quick question with SAMBA...  WHen my users are adding files to a directory how do i make it default to permission of the files to be read write execute all
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> developerhealey: thats really unsecure
[22:11] <developerhealey> 775
[22:11] <nairanvac> eazyigz: Isn't that Jambox awesome?  I've messed with one before, it sounds fantastic
[22:11] <developerhealey> ActionParsnip:  even if its a user password protected share?
[22:11] <Chilaquiles> Thanks guys
[22:12] <frxstrem> is there a command that can set the system proxy settings for Ubuntu from a script?
[22:12] <Chilaquiles> it worked
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> developerhealey: 777 is generally a bad idea and not needed in most cases
[22:12] <helix_9> actionParsnip: i have given me a fix ip-address to this HP8.....  Network over the network manager an can connect - but now? where can i find the printer?
[22:12] <eazyigz> nairanvac: i think its awesome, as soon as I can use it successfully :)
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: if you follow guides given it'll work. I promise
[22:12] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip; Thanks for the suggestion, but do you all think the mic problem is a software incompatibility with ubuntu? Or some type of incompatibility with HP
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> pinkpanther: you may need an option in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[22:13] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, I used vi and vim before but now I don't even remember how to edit a file
[22:13] <Chilaquiles> :(
[22:13] <Chilaquiles> Thats why I couldn't add the line
[22:13] <pinkpanther> what kind of option should I add?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> helix_9: the IP is the one in your screen shot, you can web browse to that IP and configure it to use YOUR wireless network and such.
[22:13] <sjm> JT_, did it work?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: i gave you the exact command you needed....
[22:14] <liminal> hello im having really big problems with xorg and dual displays in ubuntu
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> developerhealey: theres a setting in smb.conf  that sets the chmod etc of new files
[22:14] <Chilaquiles> ActionParsnip, I know and I appreciate that, but I realized that I need to remember vim commands
[22:14] <liminal> how does xorg decide which monitor is the primary monitor when you have more than one?
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Chilaquiles: well you got the gold so all is well
[22:15] <developerhealey> hmm ok
[22:15] <sjm> Chilaquiles, or since it was just an additional line:   sudo echo "<line>" >> /etc/modules
[22:15] <pinkpanther> Action parsnip: I logged in as root and I have the alsa-base.conf file open. What kind of option should I add to the file
[22:16] <helix_9> ActionParsnip: the ip in the screenshot is the one the printer gives himself, because no connection with the hplib-tool to the computer could be established - so i tried it with the networkmanger with - my ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:17] <monkeybox> anybody running ubuntu on a powerbook G4? how does it run for you?
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> helix_9: then change your IP to be the same as the printers EXCEPT for the last octet
[22:17] <bastidrazor> sjm: >> will null the sudo therefore that command will not work.. look at using tee -a instead
[22:18] <sjm> bassliner, ok, thanks for that info.
[22:18] <helix_9> ActionParsnip: (if i ping this ip i get nothing)
[22:18] <sjm> bastidrazor, , ok, thanks for that info.
[22:18] <pinkpanther> ActionParsnip: I logged in as root and I have the alsa-base.conf file open. What kind of option should I add to the file
[22:19] <bastidrazor> sjm: echo stuff | sudo tee -a filename   iirc
[22:19] <JT_> sjm, EURIKA!!!
[22:19] <JT_> sjm, i do believe you've nailed it.
[22:19] <sjm> pinkpanther, the ones needed to make it work <grin>  :)
[22:19] <JT_> sjm, tyty.
[22:19] <sjm> JT_, you're welcome
[22:20] <mehwork> why does smb.conf have a 'read only' and a 'writable' option what's the diff? isn't read only = no and writable = yes, the same thing?
[22:20] <Guest43930> yo! So i just installed the latest version of ubuntu running along side with windows 7, and the fans are running at full sped for some reason. Lm-sensors doesnt seem to work. Any1 got a solution?
[22:20] <eazyigz>  whenever I try to do an update I get this error: chromium-browser  chromium-browser-inspector "error authenticating some packages"
[22:20] <eazyigz>  does anybody know how to get around this problem?
[22:20] <pinkpanther> sjm: haha well im fairly new to ubuntu... and my mic is kinda crucial, so im not sure what I need to make it work :D
[22:20] <helix_9> ActionParsnip: thaaanks your a 3/4 god :)
[22:21] <sjm> eazyigz, try in #ubuntu+1  for version 11
[22:21] <phox_> I just installed the latest version of ubuntu running alongside with windows 7. Now the fans are running at full speed for some reasons. Lm-sensors doesnt seem to work. Any1 got a solution?
[22:21] <eazyigz> sjm: this problem is related to 10.10 also
[22:23] <Ketreva> Hello.
[22:23] <Ketreva> I need some help with WINE if anyone is up to it.
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Ketreva: ask away
[22:24] <Gizmo_the_Great> Hi. I am planning to write a Python app that will make a cal to a Linux command that is not generally installed by default. I intend to provide an already packaged *.deb version of this additional command, but it has a dependancy (libc6). How can I check if libc6 is generally installed on most Ubuntu systems?
[22:25] <Gizmo_the_Great> So that I don't also have to provide that
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> mehwork: they are the same, you can use either
[22:25] <azkrath> Good evening, im trying to download a version of open office for my new ubuntu 10 and theres a rpm package and a deb package. wich one do i get and how do i install it? ty very much

[22:26] <ApolloXVI> my bootsplash is a mess and I don't know how fix that.
[22:26] <nothingspecial> pinkpanther: Don`t log on as root. Bad idea. Use sudo instead.
[22:26] <jkg> Gizmo_the_Great: the libc6 package has "Priority: required", I think you can safely assume if they've got a usable system they've got libc6 :-)
[22:26] <Gizmo_the_Great> Ketreva: try ./executableName
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> ApolloXVI: use this guide until the embedded video: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/

[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Ketreva: try:   wine /path/to/filename.exe
[22:27] <Gizmo_the_Great> jkg: cool, thanks. How did you find that out?
[22:27] <jkg> apt-cache show libc6
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> azkrath: yes:   tar zxvf filename
[22:27] <Ketreva> ActionParsnip: in the terminal?

[22:29] <shal3r_> How to find package by filename? For example, if i want to find which package owns /usr/bin/install-info
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> shal3r:   dpkg -S filename
[22:29] <azkrath> ok done unpackaging, should i run an installer from the new files now?
[22:29] <Gizmo_the_Great> jkg: excellent. You leanr something new everyday. Didn't know that apt feature existed!
[22:29] <silentstorm> KM0201 thanks

[22:31] <azkrath> Got 3 folders and a green update file,
[22:31] <KM0201> oxyrosis: well, how does lspci identify your sound device.. that would be a place to start
[22:31] <madjr> dexi, you can move the applets around. The window list needs space. also you can add the window selector if you dont have too much space
[22:32] <oxyrosis> KM0201, how do i do that?
[22:32] <Chilaquiles> whats funny KM0201 ?
[22:32] <sburwood1> Could someone tell me the best program to make a photo CD that can be read on a DVD player (not just one in a computer, but more importantly one that is connected to a television)
[22:32] <azkrath> got 3 folders, and one file called update, one of the folders is called debs, should there be an installer inside? or should i run some command to install my open office?
[22:32] <KM0201> oxyrosis: open a terminal, and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter(thats a lowercase L)... look through the output, and find your sound device, don't paste your whole lspci here.
[22:32] <xangua> Chilaquiles: libre office, kofficem lotus office, softmaker office
[22:33] <xangua> koffice*
[22:33] <Chilaquiles> OpenOffice sucks, it crashed several times
[22:33] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: OO has been absolutely flawless for me on several systems.
[22:33] <sburwood1> In K3B and in Brasero, I found Audio, Video and data projects, but not a photo project
[22:33] <oxyrosis> Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
[22:33] <oxyrosis> that?
[22:33] <KM0201> oxyrosis: yeah.. hang on.. i've red about a problemw / that device.
[22:34] <blind> Whats the best file system for an external harddrive I plan to be using a LOT?
[22:34] <sburwood1> I'll get off the channel once I get the answer or an indication that I need to look in another channel
[22:34] <Ketreva> thanks, ActionParsnip!
[22:34] <dead> on ubuntu 10.10 there is no /etc/X11/xorg.conf I see /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ but inside there there is no SCREEN section...so how do I edit the screen section to change resolution settings?
[22:34] <nothingspecial> oxyrosis: tell e3ve
[22:35] <dead> why did you get rid of xorg.conf>!>!
[22:35] <azkrath> k it should be sudo dkpg -i *.deb on the deb packages if im not mistaken right?
[22:35] <i0nic> Why does cron run as uid 0 even though it is under a users crontab?
[22:35] <dead> I created a file in there to make a screen with the correct resolutions I want and its doesn't work so wtf
[22:35] <dead> where is the documentaiton for this ?!
[22:35] <madjr> @sburwood1, there is an app let me check if i can find it
[22:35] <KM0201> oxyrosis: open a terminal and type     alsamixer   hit enter... and see if any of those are muted
[22:35] <oxyrosis> e3ve?
[22:35] <nothingspecial> oxyrosis: blah - that was a keboard hit - means nothing
[22:36] <sburwood1> madjr: thx
[22:36] <iflema> azkrath: is the current version not high enough?
[22:36] <azkrath> ive downloaded the latest one from the site
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> i0nic: if you use: sudo crontab -e    it WILL, if you use: crontab -e   or   gnome-schedule  without gksudo, it will run as user
[22:37] <xangua> the latest of what azkrath¿
[22:37] <sburwood1> madjr: and is it free - open source?
[22:37] <oxyrosis> KM0201, no only mic was muted i just raised them up
[22:37] <KM0201> ok
[22:37] <iflema> azkrath: dpkg -i * will sort the dependencies automatically... provided their all there.....
[22:37] <dead> hello?
[22:37] <dead> should be an easy questio
[22:37] <oxyrosis> KM0201, no dice
[22:37] <sburwood1> hello, dead
[22:37] <KM0201> oxyrosis: i've solved the problem w/ that device before, but it was a long time ago, and i'm trying to remember what the issue was
[22:37] <dead> how do I edit the damn xorg.conf?
[22:38] <dead> as there isnt' one anymore on ubuntu 10.10 f*cking genius
[22:38] <xangua> !language | dead
[22:38] <dead> i'd be happy to do that if you could answer a SIMPLE question
[22:38] <azkrath> oh i see, ty iflema
[22:38] <dead> if not ill just go debug it myself then
[22:38] <sburwood1> dead, who knows what the genius is doing ? loll
[22:38] <DrDuck> Is there a way to change the name of my SSID and create a password through ubuntu. The linksys easylink advisor application wont install on this system since it's linux.
[22:38] <KM0201> oxyrosis: just curious, what kind of laptop do you have?
[22:38] <Guest80259> hi
[22:39] <sburwood1> Hi, Guest80259
[22:39] <azkrath> so for myself that doesnt have open office installed yet, with the tar.gz extracted, should i run a command to install all the deb packages inside?
[22:39] <oxyrosis> it was strange that the live CD worked no problem
[22:39] <sjm> DrDuck, usually through the web admin page
[22:39] <KM0201> oxyrosis: what kind of laptop is it?
[22:39] <DrDuck> sjm: Would you mind directing me to that?
[22:39] <brontoeee> azkrath, use ubuntu software center, forget tar.gz
[22:39] <sjm> Chilaquiles, were you talking about something like LibreOffice?
[22:40] <oxyrosis> KM0201, this is a desktop. i just installed a new motherboard/cpu/ram
[22:40] <oxyrosis> merry xmas to me
[22:40] <KM0201> i see
[22:40] <Chilaquiles> ?
[22:40] <Chilaquiles> sjm, I was talking about openOffice
[22:40] <sjm> DrDuck, the web admin page of your router itself.  In a browser go to http://<ip of your routere>
[22:40] <Chilaquiles> sjm, I was saying that Openoffice just sucks
[22:40] <azkrath> got it brontoeee, tnks a lot
[22:40] <sburwood1> oxyrosis: thx, and merry christmas to me, too
[22:41] <Chilaquiles> sjm, 3 times I just tried to delete rows in a table and OpenOffice close itself
[22:41] <KM0201> oxyrosis: what version of ubuntu are you using again?
[22:41] <DrDuck> sjm: I'm sorry, but I don't know the ip of my router. How would I go about finding that out?
[22:41] <sjm> Chilaquiles, for a spreadsheet you can try Gnumeric
[22:41] <oxyrosis> 10.10
[22:42] <sjm> DrDuck, is it a new one you are installing?
[22:42] <cryptmod99> Hey guys, its nearly Xmas and I need some snow for my Marverick, how to get hold of compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported
[22:42] <anythingj> How can I tell if my ubuntu is i386 or x86_64?
[22:43] <lilphil> anythingj, uname -a
[22:43] <KM0201> oxyrosis: type this w/o quotes... "/join #km0201"  i think i found the answer, but it's fairly detailed....
[22:43] <sjm> DrDuck, plug your computer into one of the LAN ports and it should give you an IP on it's own network.  It would usually be something like <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:43] <anythingj> lilphil: Cool... does "i686" mean that it is x86_64?
[22:43] <xangua> anythingj: no
[22:43] <crimsun> anythingj: no, it isn't.
[22:43] <lilphil> anythingj, no, x86
[22:43] <sburwood1> aside from madjr, who else can tell me a program to make a photo CD?
[22:43] <cryptmod99> no helpers?
[22:44] <xangua> cyphase: using maverick¿
[22:44] <xangua> !info compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported
[22:44] <noobie25> dualscreen problem no one has been able to solve the last two days:  "Top-Down extended works perfectly"  "Left-Right extended  (half of right screen is scrambled and anytime you move over it...it acts like the buffer is not flushed on each refresh).
[22:44] <anythingj> "Linux Tower 2.6.35-23-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Wed Nov 24 10:18:49 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux"... so does this mean I have i386 or x64_64?
[22:44] <lilphil> sburwood1, probably not so helpful, but you could use kino to create a video DVD from pictures if youre looking for a slideshow effect
[22:44] <cyphase> xangua, did you actually mean me?
[22:45] <xangua> cryptmod99: yes, sorry
[22:45] <cyphase> no problem :)
[22:45] <xangua> upps, confused o_O
[22:45] <tq> anythingj, to check if your processor is x86_64 capable you need to do 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' and look for lm in the flags section, the kernel you are currently running is x86
[22:45] <dead> how do I change resolution on ubuntu 10.10
[22:45] <sburwood1> thx, lilphil, but I'm transferring some pics from a camera to a CD
[22:45] <iflema> cryptmod99: if ya try kubuntu for the holidays theres snow in the builtin kde4 3d effects =)
[22:45] <anythingj> lilphil: and by x86, you mean i386 and 32-bit?
[22:45] <madjr> @sburwood1, yes is free and open, there are a few but i seen one that is very good still searching
[22:45] <dead> by editing /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/
[22:45] <dead> ?
[22:46] <lilphil> anythingj, er yeah sorry that could have been more clear :)
[22:46] <cryptmod99> Since I can get the answer 4 my ?, I have another question, what do i need to install inorder to watch a blueray Disk?
[22:47] <sburwood1> madjr: thx ... I'll be patient
[22:47] <anythingj> tq: I have a E8400, which I recently learned is a 64-bit processor, but I'm thinking I might have installed ubunt 32-bit and wanted to check... and if I am, is it easy to change?
[22:48] <anythingj> tq: I do have "lm" in the flags
[22:49] <tq> anythingj: to run the 64 bit version you really need to reinstall everything using the 64 bit version
[22:49] <sburwood1> madjr: brb
[22:49] <sburwood1> I need to do something for 30 secs
[22:49] <madjr> @sburwood1, i think is called videoporama
[22:49] <anythingj> tq: Before I start that process, is there a way to double check that I was indeed correct that my E8400 processor supports 64-bit?
[22:50] <madjr> ok
[22:50] <itaylor57> Gnea: welcome back
[22:50] <tq> anythingj: yes, the e8400 data sheet says it is 64bit - its a core 2 duo
[22:50] <sburwood1> madjr: I'm back
[22:50] <slide> Can anyone help me figure out what SATA card to get? I found this Silicon Image SATALink 4-Port SATA PCI Controller Card for $14, and was wondering if its supported or not
[22:50] <Jordan_U> Yancho: That's caused by a BIOS bug, your BIOS can't read past a certain limit into large disks. To work around the bug you can create a small /boot partition near the beginning of the drive, or if it's an IDE drive you can also use grub2's native PATA drivers to bypass the BIOS.
[22:50] <tq> anythingj: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115037
[22:50] <sburwood1> did you miss me?
[22:50] <anythingj> tq: Thanks!
[22:50] <crucialhoax> I created a live usb and when it boots it stops as soon as it shows the 'Debian`date` Peter et all' screen is this a bug?
[22:50] <anythingj> lilphil: Thanks!
[22:51] <Xintruder_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiVXfhLNjoA
[22:51] <cryptmod99> I have asked my first  2 questions  on this channel and I can't seem get a correct answer, arent u guys Ubuntu heads or I wasing my time
[22:51] <Yancho> Jordan_U, this was working before .. just restarted now
[22:52] <madjr> @sburwood1, ok its imagination and videoporama
[22:52] <madjr> lol
[22:52] <xangua> !attitude | cryptmod99
[22:52] <sburwood1> madjr: and it's in the software center?
[22:52] <sburwood1> madjr: thanks for your help
[22:52] <madjr> @sburwood1, yep
[22:52] <Jordan_U> Yancho: What has happened is that grubs files were being stored before the limit of your BIOS before.
[22:53] <madjr> @sburwood1, np
[22:53] <Gnea> itaylor57: hola
[22:53] <Jordan_U> Yancho: Now they're past that limit and can't be read.
[22:53] <itaylor57> Gnea: I got the java netbeans guy sorted out the other day
[22:54] <sburwood1> madjr: and it works in Europe?
[22:54] <Gnea> itaylor57: excellent! was it a dual install or something?
[22:54] <madjr> @sburwood1, not sure i hope so! u can file bugs if it doesnt
[22:54] <itaylor57> Gnea: you can have both openjdk and sunjdk, you just need to tell /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/javac which one to use
[22:55] <qdb>  would you suggest me some linux dvd that includes videocard drivers, languages, codecs
[22:55] <Yancho> Jordan_U, can you please guid me how to do that /boot thing then? im such a newbie :S
[22:55] <sburwood1> madjr: If only I knew how to file bugs ... lolll
[22:55] <sburwood1> I'm gonna try these things out
[22:56] <sburwood1> madjr: and again thx (even if np)
[22:56] <Gnea> itaylor57: yup
[22:56] <xangua> qdb: the ubuntu dvd¿
[22:56] <grim__> hello, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on a Intel C2D machine with 3.2GB of RAM when I use "top" I can see that about 2.6 GB of RAM are in use and I guess that couldn't be normal
[22:56] <Jordan_U> Yancho: Sure. First off, do you know if the drive is SATA or IDE?
[22:56] <Yancho> Jordan_U, yeah .. no raid
[22:56] <madjr> @sburwood1, very easy, usually at the programs website or https://bugs.launchpad.net
[22:56] <cryptmod99> OkropNick, I'll asking again this time with zero Aptitude, I need compiz-fusion-plugins-unsupported and Blueray apt for Marverick.
[22:56] <itaylor57> Gnea: apt_xxsomething -configure java and javac
[22:56] <qdb> xangua, as i know it does not include nvidia and ati drivers
[22:57] <Yancho> Jordan_U, its a 500gb sata 2 on a sata raid card .. i did fsck on all the partitions and they are fine
[22:57] <grim__> how can I find out which process is using that much RAM ?
[22:57] <itaylor57> grim__: top works
[22:57] <Gnea> itaylor57: good to know
[22:58] <grim__> itaylor57, that was a question?
[22:58] <Jordan_U> Yancho: Are you familiar with using gparted?
[22:59] <qdb>  would you suggest me some linux dvd that includes videocard drivers, languages, codecs  -  like mandriva pro
[22:59] <Chilaquiles> Why the time that I have displayed changes even though I changed so it can show the right time?
[22:59] <Yancho> Jordan_U, yeah .. btw from the recovery console i managed to fsck all the partitions and mounted /dev/sda1 into /media/root
[22:59] <grim__> itaylor57, the Xorg process is on top :D of the list
[22:59] <itaylor57> grim__: type top from a terminal

[23:00] <noobie25> does anyone know if i have trouble with ubuntu dual screen...if i'll have any luck with kubuntu???
[23:00] <dead> is this too difficult for you guys to answer seriously?
[23:01] <tq> grim__: run top then press '>' to shift the sort column to the right which should be %mem
[23:01] <grim__> noobie25, which graphics card do you use?
[23:01] <noobie25> ati
[23:01] <grim__> noobie25, for me it was a bit tricky, but in general it works
