[02:43] <jrib> manchot: use limits.conf to limit nproc
[02:43] <quietone> haavaros: the display preferences is always an accurate representation of what ubuntu thinks is available. But, sadly, even when connected to TV is often (well mostly now) fails to see it. I'd like to know a way to force it to see the external monitor.
[02:44] <Sedated> crazy6, you could google something like "<your isp> ubuntu mirror" for starters, or your state/province
[02:44] <CogitoErgoSam> crazy6:  You can use the software sources app to find one too
[02:44] <amabo> how do i refresh the power monitor?
[02:44] <Sedated> crazy6, universities tend to have large linux/unix mirrors as well so google any local universities near you for mirrors
[02:44] <hiexpo> manchot,  - wow thats a wicked one lol
[02:44] <neverblue> where do you get apache2 support (under Ubuntu) on Freenode ?
[02:45] <JDSanderson> Anyone know how to force video settings on 10.04?
[02:45] <airtonix> JDSanderson, i prefer using a large stick
[02:45] <amabo> sorry - i mean refresh the battery indicator
[02:45] <jrib> JDSanderson: in general, you don't want to "force" things
[02:45] <Symmetryneedsaid> I have a Question on how to Get my Web cam working under Lucid Lynx, It is an old Magicvision USB unit, Device Manager recognizes it as USB Camera (0af9:0011), I cant seem to find any Ubuntu packages for it, And I admit that I am new to Ubuntu. Any Help Would be greatly appreciated. PM Me if you do have any Ideas to help.
[02:45] <CogitoErgoSam> crazy6:  In the Software Sources control panel, click on the "Download from" menu, and select other.  This will open up a new window with lists of mirrors, and a button named "Select Best Server"
[02:46] <CogitoErgoSam> crazy6:  If you click that button, it will ping the list of mirrors and select the best one for you
[02:46] <CogitoErgoSam> crazy6:  However, just because that mirror is the best right now doesn't mean it will be the most consistent, so its usually best to change your source back to the main server after you're done
[02:46] <JDSanderson> Ok I would like to black list the ati driver and use the old xorg driver and specify a resolution and color depth
[02:46] <crazy6> CogitoErgoSam: aha, that'll be alot easier than trying to add lines to my sources.list file manually
[02:46] <hiexpo> manchot,  - did someone use that on you ?
[02:47] <sdfghjkl> Is there any way that I can automatically log in to the wireless network on startup?
[02:47] <JDSanderson> irgo force the settings to something stable and good
[02:47] <hiexpo> sdfghjkl, it doesautolog into the network
[02:47] <arinda> hey all. i looking for software like pinacle studio? is there ubuntu have one?
[02:48] <pink_panther> sdfghjkl : Just connect it once and next time you are logged automatically.
[02:48] <CogitoErgoSam> if you go into the network manager you can edit the entry for that particular connection to connect automatically
[02:48] <sdfghjkl> hiexpo, pink_panther, it's not doing that for me.  I have to manually choose the network name from the list.  It remembers the password, but I have to click on it each boot (fresh install of 10.04 this weekend)
[02:48] <unsure> arinda, like pinacle studio? What do you expect it to do?
[02:48] <johnny_buffalo> need help with a dvd drive swap i did
[02:49] <unsure> johnny_buffalo, yes, just ask.
[02:49] <johnny_buffalo> used the dmesg |grep DVD and i got no letter there (/dev/sr0)
[02:49] <arinda> unsure, i wanna to edit (create) my video
[02:49] <CogitoErgoSam> sdfghjkl:  To sum it up, System->Preferences->Network Connections, find the one for the network, edit it, click the check box near the top that says "Connect automatically"
[02:50] <hiexpo> sdfghjkl, oh i don't know about 10.04 sorry it is differant than 9.10
[02:50] <johnny_buffalo> but the output looks like this: http://pastebin.com/BkqNJW7K
[02:50] <unsure> !videoedit
[02:50] <unsure> !video
[02:50] <unsure> umm.. no!
[02:50] <pink_panther> sdfghjkl : You have connected more than one so get rid of the others.
[02:50] <CogitoErgoSam> ^^
[02:51] <haavaros> quietone: I don't know how to force detection, but since Vista also sometimes fails, I suspect hw issue. Pls hilight me if you solve it, would love to see the solution
[02:51] <hiexpo> !dvd
[02:51] <sdfghjkl> Thanks CogitoErgoSam
[02:52] <CogitoErgoSam> np
[02:52] <amabo> where is "activate window picker" in the compiz settings?
[02:53] <hiexpo> simple ccsm
[02:54] <quietone> haavaros: The Dell tech thinks it is software! And he doesn't want to get rid of Vista (which I plan to today) as they don't support Ubuntu here.
[02:54] <a-new-man_> hello guys, I messed up my application list menu
[02:54] <hiexpo> !ask
[02:54] <a-new-man_> when I click on the Applications menu on the top left of the screen
[02:54] <a-new-man_> , nothing happened
[02:54] <arinda> unsure. i think avidemux can used for edit video. but it can't
[02:54] <CogitoErgoSam> a-new-man_:  what about if you right click
[02:55] <CogitoErgoSam> a-new-man_:  you could try removing it and re-adding it
[02:55] <haavaros> quietone: Odd. Well, have dell help you rule out hw issues before removing vista
[02:55] <andres_> bye guys
[02:55] <CogitoErgoSam> adios
[02:55] <a-new-man_> still a problem
[02:55] <johnny_buffalo> used the dmesg |grep DVD and i got no letter there (/dev/sr0), here is my output: http://pastebin.com/BkqNJW7K
[02:55] <a-new-man_> I removed and added
[02:55] <robert__> == new to this
[02:55] <hiexpo> !broke
[02:56] <squarebracket> pulseaudio shouldn't be in /usr/local at all, right? i messed around with my audio config before i upgraded, and now i'm running into some problems, so i just want to clean out what i did
[02:56] <quietone> haavaros: That would make sense but they have no testing facilities here. The best I could do is find a friend with an HDMI monitor/TV and I don't know of any. or at my workplace or my partners.
[02:56] <hiexpo> !help
 I 've also tried to remove the folders .gnome and .gnome2 but no luck
[02:58] <W43372> For some reason anything flash based in firefox doesn't have a sound. Youtube videos, google voice voicemails, nothing.
[02:58] <johnny_buffalo> need help: used the dmesg |grep DVD and i got no letter there (/dev/sr0), here is my output: http://pastebin.com/BkqNJW7K
[02:58] <squarebracket> generally overriding/customization is what goes in /usr/local/ right?
[02:58] <hiexpo> yes
[02:59] <pvl1> how can i identify what module my wireless nic is using
[02:59] <pvl1> ^ i think i screwd up my blacklists
[02:59] <robert__> == downlaoding ubuntu now, will it help me to repartition my drive, because I have partitioned it before so I could use slax, what do i need to do
[02:59] <pvl1> robert__, the live cd does have a partitioning manager
[03:00] <arand> robert__: You can use gparted from the live system, or the manaul partitioning at install time.
[03:00] <a-new-man_> Is there any way to rebuild the applications menu?
[03:00] <amabo> what's the equivalent to "sudo cd"?
[03:00] <jonafan_> i just updated a remote machine to 10.04 from 8.04 and it hasn't come back from rebooting
[03:00] <W43372> a-new-man yes there is, let me tinker and i'll remember
[03:01] <pvl1> amabo, su then cd
[03:01] <quietone> haavaros: Dell can't rule out hardware issues. The only option they can provide is giving me a refurbished mother board (which I don't want).
[03:01] <pvl1> a-new-man_, do u mean entirly or customize it
[03:01] <arand> amabo: "sudo -s" and then exit when you are done
 thanks amn
[03:01] <robert__> == ok, my drive is already partitioned, do I have to repartition it
[03:01] <xinwen> I want to set Ctrl+Q to be the global quit Application hotkey, is that possible, how can I do that?
[03:01] <quietone> haavaros: thx for support. I must go join the family.
[03:01] <W43372> a-new-man apparently it's as simple as right clicking on the applications panel and selecting edit menus
[03:02] <haavaros> quietone: gl with motherboard and family L:)
[03:02] <CogitoErgoSam> xinwen:  System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
[03:02] <amabo> arand: is it possible to copy files from sudo -s to the user?
[03:02] <a-new-man_>  <W43372> nothing shows up when I do so
[03:02] <fatum> How can I access the "Login Window Preferences" in 10.04?  Is there a new location?  I'm basically wanting to install a GDM theme.
[03:02] <W43372> a-new-man give it a second, it took a while to show up for me.
[03:02] <arand> robert__: If so choose manual install and specify the mountpoints on the already existing partitions
[03:02] <PythonPup> If Ubuntu does not support my machine for 10.04, is there a way to go directly from 8.04 to 9.04?  9.04 is the latest that seems to be supported and 8.10 is bye-bye.
[03:03] <ThomasG33K> In Ubuntu 10.04 on a Macbook 5,1 (or others) is the heating issue still a problem?
[03:03] <W43372> a-new-man if that doesn't work for you it should be under System>Preferences>Main Menu as well.
[03:03] <xinwen> oh, thanks CogitoErgoSam. I'm so stupid.
[03:03] <iflema> pvl1 in a terminal     lspci -v
 ok
[03:03] <arand> amabo: yes, but you will likely need to change permissions after copying as well, since they'll be owned by root
[03:03] <W43372> For some reason anything flash based in firefox doesn't have a sound. Youtube videos, google voice voicemails, nothing.
[03:03] <pvl1> iflema, thnx
[03:03] <wildbat> anyone know how do is set the menu bind to just <super> key instead of <alt>+F1?
[03:03] <amabo> arand: how might i do that? cp <file> ..>?
[03:04] <a-new-man_> by the way anyone knows what is the terminal name of the "Edit menus", so I can try running it from terminal
[03:04] <robert__> ==so after it's downloaded I just do a manual install
[03:05] <mdel> does anyone here use nxclient/server?
[03:05] <W43372> a-new-man did accessing it through the GUI not work?
[03:05] <arand> amabo: well, you don't need the sudo -s shell to copy, just "sudo cp /path/file /home/user/" and then "sudo chown user:user /home/user/file" I assume
[03:05] <hornets> where I can find cool console fonts?
[03:06] <fatum> Why was the ability to modify the gdm theme removed?  That's what I read
[03:06] <mdel> hornets: monaco
[03:06] <hornets> I just can't take monospace 8 on gnome-terminal
[03:06] <arand> amabo: But if you can already read the file as user, you don't need to use sudo cp, and the permissions should be correct to start with
 nop, not at all; it happened after I try to delete one of an app
[03:06] <mdel> hornets: monospace or monaco, 10px, antialiased
 where I can find cool console fonts? >> If you are Thai, try f0nt.com
[03:07] <W43372> a-new-man_ if right click doesn't work and if System>Preferences>Main Menu doesn't work then I'm clueless.
[03:07] <hornets> i dont have the "monaco" one
[03:07] <hornets> let me see
[03:07] <airtonix> a-new-man_, did you restart gnome-panel yet ?
[03:08] <mdel> hornets: monaco is mac, sry
[03:08] <mdel> hornets: monospace is great if its antialiased
[03:08] <mdel> which it should be around 10px
[03:08] <airtonix> a-new-man_, also menu editor is called 'alacarte'
[03:08] <dapimp53> I am using Corier, Postfix and the mail is delivered to my Maildir but when I try to sync from my windows computer via IMAP, it doesn't show any email. I checked the logs and there are no errors on anything. Any suggestions?
[03:08] <a-new-man_>  <airtonix>  a-new-man_, did you restart gnome-panel yet ? >> I did but let me try again
[03:09] <ircuser> Upgraded to 10.04 and everything is screwed. Theme, look and everything. Looks horrible. Can't even change folder icons neither theme. Please help.
[03:09] <W43372> For some reason anything flash based in firefox doesn't have a sound. Youtube videos, google voice voicemails, nothing.
[03:11] <hornets> mdel: where I can see if it's antialised
 I restarted the gnome-panel, still no luck
[03:11] <hornets> on gnome-terminal preferences?
[03:11] <mdel> hornets: you can just see it
[03:11] <zac> When's lucid lynx being released?
[03:11] <mdel> hornets: i dont think there is an option, but it should be antialiased if it is large enough pixel-wise
[03:11] <mdel> zac: seriously
[03:11] <mdel> ?
[03:12] <a-new-man_> where can I post my error output?
[03:12] <Guest47946> Indeed I do not have internet on my machine very often
[03:12] <hornets> mdel: monospace 10 looks kinda big
[03:12] <a-new-man_> I think the "alacarte" gave me an error output
[03:12] <Guest47946> Has it been released? Officaly of course
[03:12] <bazhang> Guest47946, yes
[03:12] <BaliShag> anyone know how to exclude multiple protocols when using tcpdump ?
[03:13] <mdel> hornets: it depends on your resolution of course
[03:13] <W43372> For some reason anything flash based in firefox doesn't have a sound. Youtube videos, google voice voicemails, nothing.
[03:14] <mae_tae> what type will i search in google where i can able to access internal lan from the internet?
[03:14] <bazhang> mae_tae, what are you trying to do?
[03:14] <mdel> mae_tae: you need VPN
[03:14] <mae_tae> i want to access our internal LAN from the outside?
[03:15] <mae_tae> mdel, how can i do it in linux?
[03:15] <mezquitale> anyone knows if there is a utility in ubuntu that allows you to print content created in flash?
[03:15] <mae_tae> mdel, what vpn available for linux?
[03:15] <klh> type flash in the quick search in synaptic
[03:15] <klh> there is a util that allows you to convert from flash to ___
[03:16] <mdel> mae_tae: not sure, i only have ever used harware vpn
[03:16] <kerog1> Hey, I'm in the process of installing Lucid Lynx, I booted into the CD and tried to resize an NTFS partition, I hit apply, and now it says 'resizing partition...' with progress bar at 0% for about 10 minutes now. Ideas?
[03:17] <klh> my question is howto force a printing of an xorg.conf file
[03:17] <mae_tae> bazhang, do you have idea about it?
[03:17] <h00k> kerog1: I would definitely not stop it, it might be moving data if necessary when resizing or something
[03:17] <mezquitale> kerog1, did you back up your files ?
[03:17] <W43372> For about the last week anything flash based in firefox hasn't had sound, youtube, google voice, any of it. What do I do to fix it?
[03:18] <kerog1> Ah, it just spit out an error. It says an error occured while writing the changes to the storage devices. The resize operation has been aborted
[03:18] <klh> mezquitale check out swftools
[03:18] <mae_tae> what topic will i search in google?
[03:18] <RedXIII`Alt> Is there a better way to recursevly grep for a file name than piping 'find' results to grep?
[03:18] <amabo> how do i restart the power manager?
[03:19] <bazhang> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN mae_tae this?
[03:19] <alex87> as linux users do you find you are more averse to online apps?
[03:19] <mezquitale> klh, i will, thanks!
[03:19] <mae_tae> ok
[03:19] <_pg_> how do i enable compiz or composting in lxde?
[03:19] <bazhang> alex87, is that related to Ubuntu support , or a poll
[03:19] <mezquitale> kerog1, first back up all your data, then defrag your hard drive, and run a scandisk, then try resizing again
[03:20] <primordialstew> need help logging in as root; I could do this (and sudo from my user acct) I swear
[03:20] <soreau> _pg_: Just install compiz and run it
[03:20] <primordialstew> currently says I'm not in sudoers file
[03:20] <alex87> bazhang: sorry, probably doesn't belong here
[03:20] <primordialstew> and that my root authentication fails
[03:20] <bazhang> alex87, try #ubuntu-offtopic please
[03:20] <alex87> bazhang: thanks
[03:20] <mae_tae> bazhang, using VPN, do you think i can able to configure remotely?
[03:20] <soreau> _pg_: You will probably want to install a decorator too, like emerald so you can have window borders
[03:20] <kerog1> mezquitale crap, under the partition manager it now says its empty, let's see what happens when I boot into an os
[03:21] <rootlinuxusr> monitor works fine in Win, when I boot to Ubuntu(after upgrade from 9.10) the entire viewing area is "wobbly" I assume this is an X11 setting, but where should I look?
[03:21] <kerog1> its mostly media though, so like 300+gb of backing up is not really an option right now
[03:21] <theGman> Ok, I was right in the middle of the upgrade where it was installing all the stuff it dowbloaded and it locked up...ok, so I rebooted but now my boot hangs at the gkrellm daemon...how can I remove that so it can continue?
[03:21] <_pg_> soreau, i have both installed already it doesnt seem to use them. and when i do anything in emerald it crashes
[03:22] <Streetboys> www.e-soriano.wordpress.com
[03:22] <wildbat> theGman, tred recovery mode?
[03:22] <soreau> _pg_: Can you pastebin the output of 'compiz --replace &' from your terminal to pastebin.org?
[03:23] <hornets> mdel: lol, I've installed Monaco.. but it doesn't work fine here
[03:23] <hornets> maybe is ubuntu fault?
[03:23] <wildbat> anyone know how do is set the menu bind to just <super> key instead of <alt>+F1?
[03:23] <Streetboys> http://esoriano.wordpress.com/
[03:23] <theGman> wildbat: Yeah, but when it drops to a root prompt and asks for the root pword it's not letting me type it.
[03:24] <_pg_> soreau, whoa. a ton of stuff changed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/428020/
[03:24] <wildbat> theGman, you set a root password?~
[03:24] <theGman> wildbat: Yeah. And the first char is @
[03:24] <wildbat> theGman, y it don't let you to type it ?
[03:25] <soreau> _pg_: That is how you start compiz. Now install ccsm and run it
[03:25] <cheerschopper> is it possible to have the icon for tomboy in the indicator applet or do I have to use the notification area applet?
[03:25] <CogitoErgoSam> !Keyboard Shortcuts > wildbat
[03:25] <_pg_> soreau, what is emerald and how do i use it
[03:25] <rafaelsoaresbr> hello, i'm running ubuntu 9.10 and I want to grub to (hd0,0). does anyone knows how to do that?
[03:26] <theGman> wildbat: How should I know, as soon as I try to type the @ it redisplays the prompt "Enter root password or type Control-D to continue" which the ctrl-d doesn't work either.
[03:26] <rafaelsoaresbr> *install*
[03:26] <amabo> how do i restart the power manager?
[03:26] <oblib> Help. I updated to Lucid Lynx and now many of my start up scripts don't run the daemons they are supposed to (apache, courier imap, even cron). Why?
[03:26] <morg> I can't switch the ttys with Ctrl+Alt+F1-F7 Oô If I push Ctrl+Alt+F1, my cursor hides and I can't use my keyboard, but see all programs and so on... if I go to Ctrl+Alt+F7 again, all is okay...
[03:26] <theGman> rafaelsoaresbr: It should have installed grub there when you installed. :)
[03:26] <wildbat> CogitoErgoSam, the system want <super>+ something but i want just the super~
[03:27] <hornets> did it.
[03:27] <CogitoErgoSam> oh...hmm....
[03:27] <hornets> mdel: yeah man, it really looks cool
[03:27] <mdel> hornets: ? get it working?
[03:27] <hornets> yup
[03:27] <_pg_> soreau, awesome. I got compiz. do i need to run that command every time?
[03:27] <hornets> I downloaded the mac version lol
[03:27] <grubvictim_> anybody else having problem with 10.04 and grub in a dual boot?
[03:27] <wildbat> theGman, hmmm may be you should reset the root passwd?
[03:28] <rafaelsoaresbr> theGman: It has been installed to MBR. And I want to install to (hd0,2), because I'm going to install Windows.
[03:28] <theGman> Can someone tell me how I can remove a daemon (it hangs at boot) in a system I can't boot into?
[03:28] <mdel> hornets: nice
[03:28] <CogitoErgoSam> wildbat:  I'm looking around but I bet there's a way to set the hotkey somewhere in the gconf settings (in ~/.gconf/)
[03:28] <CogitoErgoSam> wildbat:  If I find it I'll let ya know
[03:29] <oblib> theGman, maybe remove its startup script from /etc/init
[03:29] <grubvictim_> anybody got any advice, whenever i try to boot into win7 it just reloads grub2
[03:29] <G-man> ?
[03:29] <theGman> rafaelsoaresbr: Unfortunately you have done things completely backwards. :( When you install windows it is going to install to the hd0,0 mbr and you will never see your ubuntu install unless you boot to a resc cd and re-install grub.
[03:29] <G-man> lol
[03:29] <G-man> wannabes pfft
[03:30] <theGman> rafaelsoaresbr: At one time I had 4 os's that I could boot so I have a tiny bit of experience with this :P
[03:31] <theGman> wildbat: Sure, how exactly do I reset the pword if I can't boot into it? :P
[03:31] <Prez00> hello
[03:31] <rafaelsoaresbr> theGman: I'm going to use a thrid-party boot loader. I just want to know how to install another GRUB in (hd0,2)
[03:31] <Prez00> ok guys, going nuts here... upgraded to 10.04 from karmic and the new kernel does not boot, to be fair at first reboot it booted an old custom kernel, isntead of new one..
[03:32] <Prez00> I can boot from an old 2.6.31 kernel
[03:32] <amabo> how do i restart the power manager?
[03:32] <wildbat> theGman, you can always boot to liveCD and change the shadow file or root back to ! , and i change my root passwd to @123 , and boot recovery ~ it is ok to type@123 ~ just it won't show ****
[03:32] <_pg_> soreau, did you see my output? http://paste.ubuntu.com/428020/ it seems to be failing?
[03:33] <yijimi_> sudo banall
[03:33] <theGman> rafaelsoaresbr: man grub
[03:33] <rafaelsoaresbr> theGman: I've used alternate CD and it doesn't want to know where to install grub. it just install to mbr
[03:33] <theGman> !grub > rafaelsoaresbr
[03:33] <soreau> _pg_: Yes, sorry, had some troubles here
[03:33] <soreau> _pg_: Let me regroup
[03:33] <Prez00> I get mountall error and stops loading, but a ctrl-alt-del gracefully restarts, so it is not completely frozen
[03:34] <_pg_> soreau, no prob bob
[03:34] <SealedWithAKiss> How do I install the Java plugin for Firefox on Ubuntu 10.04?
[03:34] <h00k> ubottu: java | SealedWithAKiss
[03:34] <soreau> _pg_: Yea so if you're on lucid, this looks normal. and you will have to start this command every time or put it in your startup session
[03:35] <_pg_> soreau, it was ubuntu and ive installed lxde on top. does that matter?
[03:35] <rafaelsoaresbr> SealedWithAKiss: activate partner repository
[03:35] <theGman> wildbat: But if one could change it to @123 then why can't I type MY root pass that starts with @ ?
[03:35] <soreau> _pg_: It does because you have to find out how that DE does session startup
[03:35] <SealedWithAKiss> rafaelsoaresbr, how do I do that?
[03:36] <soreau> _pg_: I haven't used it so I don't know

[03:37] <_pg_> soreau, well ive never used it before but it is installed now presumably because I installed lxde.
[03:38] <soreau> _pg_: If you have window borders, emerald is running. It's default theme is brick red
[03:38] <Prez00> ok, so no hints for moi.. maaaaan... I'm dying here... what can I check that new kernel will not boot, but older 2.6.31 custom kernel does..

[03:40] <soreau> _pg_: np
[03:40] <greezmunkey> Prez00: maybe you should have rolled back to the kernel and modules you changed prior to upgrading. Seems to me I read that somewhere...
[03:40] <mdel> does anyone here use nxclient/server?
[03:40] <greezmunkey> Prez00: er, the kernel prior, sorry...
[03:40] <theGman> wildbat: Ah, thx :)

[03:50] <RxDx> when i was using ubuntu 9.10 my wireless works fine.. but i installed the 10.04 and i cant connect anymore..
[03:50] <RxDx> i connect on windows with no problems
[03:50] <Agrajag-> i have a 2nd monitor (dvi) that since updating to 10.04, seems to change brightness depending on what's displayed on the screen. how do i stop this?
[03:50] <RxDx> ops =x
[03:51] <Agrajag-> it seems that if i have grpahics on the screen it goes very bright but if i only have text (e.g. in a browser) it's goes dim
[03:51] <rafaelsoaresbr> acerimmer: that tuto is for grub legacy. but don't worry. i'm looking for
[03:52] <bjb1959_> I doubt that anyone here will be able to help but I'll try anyway. I have 2 problems. I can't install ubuntu 32bit without breaking X when I install the NVIDIA drivers. 64bit works great with the NVIDIA drivers but mediatomb and xbmc media servers don't work any ideas?
[03:54] <bjb1959_> I mean that neither show up on my upnp devices using 64bit versions but show up fine on 32bit systems
[03:54] <dos000> how can i close ( not kill) an X11 that i cant see the window ? i am on nomachine and i need to close (not kill) other processes of the same app
[03:55] <dos000> x11 app
[03:56] <marcuy> dos000, kill app
[03:57] <crdlb> dos000: wmctrl?
[03:57] <dos000> marcuy, i dont want to kill
[03:57] <dos000> crdlb, i am looking in wmctrl now
[03:58] <haavaros> How do I make a link to a folder? I want the link on my desktop
[03:58] <onetinsoldier> dos000: kill does the same as close it. at least kill -15 which i guess is the default
[03:58] <marcuy> dos000, u can't close it's interface without killing it
[03:59] <dahlia> how can I log in to 10.4 on vmware? the keyboard doesnt work
[03:59] <dos000> marcuy, all i am saying is i need to gracefully kill it .. so not -9
[03:59] <greezmunkey> dahlia: right ctrl ??
[03:59] <onetinsoldier> dos000: kill -15 <app>
[03:59] <dos000> onetinsoldier, thanks !
[03:59] <onetinsoldier> dos000: and... -15 is the default
[03:59] <bjb1959_> I can't get mediatomb 64bit or xbmc 64bit media stream to show up on upnp devices any ideas as to why?
[03:59] <greezmunkey> dahlia: nevermind, that was wrong.
[03:59] <onetinsoldier> dos000: you're welcome
[04:00] <dahlia> is there a way to do a console login? I dont see the option on the login screen
[04:00] <dos000> thank to all of you indeed
[04:00] <onetinsoldier> dos000: kill does the same as close it. at least kill -15 which is the default... so, kill <app> does the same thing as kill -15 <app>, fyi
[04:00] <dos000> onetinsoldier, ah! i did not know that
[04:01] <onetinsoldier> dos000: roger. if you use -9, that's not default
[04:01] <crdlb> dos000: you should be able to send a delete event to the window with wmctrl, which is even more graceful
[04:01] <theGman> Hello?
[04:01] <crdlb> as long as the window doesn't try to confirm the request :)
[04:01] <dahlia> no console login option?
[04:01] <brunotorres> Hello. Which packages do I need to install on ubuntu 10 to enable file sharing on gnome's app? It tells me I need to install packages but doesn't tell me which. I found there is a bug report about this but it also doesn't tell the packages names
[04:01] <onetinsoldier> dos000: try looking at 'man kill' and things will become clearer
[04:02] <onetinsoldier> brunotorres: i'm not sure. but, do you have samba installed?
[04:02] <songer> hello
[04:02] <songer>  everybody
[04:03] <wildbat> !hi
[04:03] <songer> i just intall firefox but i don see it
[04:03] <dos000> onetinsoldier, man kill does not cover (-15) yet
[04:03] <onetinsoldier> dos000: ho, it's in there allright. it's the TERM signal
[04:03] <brunotorres> onetinsoldier: yes, just installed it from synaptic. Didn't help. I even restarted the computer...
[04:03] <bjb1959_> since I am getting no responses I will assume that the group here right now just doesn't have the knowledge to help me. I'll try later when more advanced users are on. thanks anyway
[04:04] <greezmunkey> brunotorres: are you trying to connect to you ubox from another puter?
[04:04] <acerimmer> >songer: Applications>Internet>Firefox

[04:05] <songer>  acerimer
[04:05] <wolf_pup> anyone know why /etc/rc.local is ignoring sleep cmds?
[04:05] <acerimmer> songer: ubuntu comes with Firefox.  What do you mean you installed it?
[04:05] <brunotorres> greezmunkey: i didn't try anything fancy. Just opened the dialog, the file sharing options are disabled and it tells me to install packages, but doesnt tell which...
[04:06] <songer> i was having some troubles
[04:06] <brunotorres> onetinsoldier ok, thanks
[04:06] <babyface1> I have installed nvidia driver but whenever I reboot, my screen resolution reverts back to 640x480?
[04:06] <MilesT> what program is there that outputs network down/up speed to terminal?
[04:06] <CogitoErgoSam> wildbat:  If you're still here I found a way for you to set that hotkey to just <SUPER>
[04:06] <CogitoErgoSam> I will send you a pm
[04:06] <songer> acerimer : and thats why i remove it
[04:06] <wildbat> CogitoErgoSam, wow thatnks
[04:07] <acerimmer> songer: HOW did you remove it?
[04:07] <greezmunkey> brunotorres: did you try this?: To begin the process of sharing, open a file browser window by selecting, for example, Places->Home Folder. Navigate using the file browser until the folder to be shared is visible. Right click on the icon for this folder and select Sharing Options from the resulting menu
[04:07] <songer> in terminal with purge
[04:07] <onetinsoldier> brunotorres: try searching on samba in Synaptic, or try the following on a command line.. apt-cache search samba | sort
[04:07] <songer> but now i already have it
[04:08] <songer> acerimer
[04:08] <ridin> is there anyway i can have a certain wallpaper for each workspace
[04:08] <acerimmer> Songer: System>Preferences>Main Menu>Internet - click on firefox so it shows in your menu
[04:09] <songer> yes i already have it , acerimer
[04:10] <brunotorres> greezmunkey it worked. Thanks a lot
[04:10] <MilesT> what program is there that outputs network down/up speed to terminal?
[04:10] <songer> youtube says  i need to upgrade java
[04:10] <greezmunkey> brunotorres: you da man :)
[04:10] <acerimmer> songer: so it DOES show up.  I don't understand the problem you're describing
[04:10] <babyface1> Guys, help.. whenever I reboot, my screen resolution reverts back to 640x480?
[04:10] <rolsworth> this version of ubuntu has taken two steps forward and 5 steps backward. does not work with raid at all while 9.10 worked perfect
[04:11] <brunotorres> there's file sharing and personal file sharing. What's the difference?
[04:11] <songer> acerimer this is the 3 time that i install it  and now i got it
[04:11] <songer> acerimer
[04:11] <mezquitale> rolsworth, if you cant fix it i highly highly suggest you file a bug report, remember lucid is LTS
[04:12] <rolsworth> i found this. same bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/568050?comments=all
[04:13] <Narya> how can I stop it that when I leave my computer it goes to sleep?
[04:13] <brunotorres> in personal file sharing the options are still disabled. Installed samba and samba4 packages...nothiing]
[04:13] <Narya> aka I want my desktop to run full time so I can set an alarm to wake my deaf ass up
[04:14] <onetinsoldier> Narya: try System --> Preferences --> Screensaver --> Power Management button
[04:14] <Narya> thanks onetinsoldier
[04:14] <onetinsoldier> you're welcome
[04:15] <CogitoErgoSam> Narya:  You can go straight to power management through System->Administration
[04:15] <ridin> is there anyway i can have a certain wallpaper for each workspace
[04:16] <Guest35590> test
[04:16] <CogitoErgoSam> Narya:  Err that's System->Preferences, my bad
[04:16] <greezmunkey> brunotorres: I'm pretty sure that dialog enables CIFS (windows network sharing), it also allows sharing via Bluetooth (which may still use CIFS).
[04:17] <greezmunkey> lo
[04:17] <NetLarIrvine> Any recommendations for usb wireless adapters that work right out of the box on 10.04?
[04:17] <greezmunkey> s/CIFS/SMB
[04:17] <W43372> I don't have any sound for anything flash based in firefox.
[04:18] <monty_hall> anybody know how to let openoffice base/mysql gui tools access a mysql database?  Access from the cli, works fine.
[04:18] <hololight> I have a feeling this is a stupid question... i have a feeling I am overthinking this... can I install (like a real/ full/ normal install) to a SD card?
[04:18] <acerimmer> hololight: I believe startup disc creator can do that
[04:19] <Guest35590> hi, i tried upgrading to 10.04 and i got an error about libc6 and the upgrade had to terminate. i think rebooted and all commands on the command line give seg faults. I think I need to fix the libc6 package, but I don't know how to do that with the LiveCD, I booted with LiveCD and mounted my box and then did chroot, but all the commands still segaulted , of course. any ideas?
[04:20] <wolf_pup> anyone know why /etc/rc.local is ignoring sleep cmds?
[04:21] <psusi> wolf_pup, it isn't?
[04:21] <wolf_pup> it is
[04:21] <psusi> wolf_pup, what makes you think so?
[04:22] <wolf_pup> tried diff cmds with sleep, ignores sleep =(
[04:22] <IdleOne> Could someone please confirm this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/575551
[04:22] <monty_hall> nm, had to comment out the bind address
[04:22] <ircindia> Upgraded to 10.04 and the theme changed to something real dirty (the default Fedora look). I used the alternate CD image mount. How can I get the old theme/look back. (PS. my close, maxi/mini-mize buttons are on right. How come?)
[04:23] <wildbat> Guest35590, try cp the /usr/lib from the LiveCD over to your hd one ~ backup frist as always~
[04:23] <psusi> wolf_pup, what makes you think the sleep was ignored?  you aren't there to watch
[04:23] <Guest35590> wildbat: thanks, i will try that. i did try to copy over /bin, but those all still segfaulted. /usr/lib makes more sense
[04:23] <Guest35590> will back upt too
[04:23] <ridin> is there anyway i can have a certain wallpaper for each workspace
[04:24] <wolf_pup> psusi, ya, but the cmd gets executed immediately with no delay
[04:24] <psusi> wolf_pup, how do you know?  you aren't there to witness the delay
[04:27] <bootstrap> hololight, yes you can, my friend did it, I can't help beyond letting you know you can do it. my friend is on vacation, i'll shoot him an email. you need to select the sd in bios, or as my friend did and use a usb sd (as he was looking for easy mobility)
[04:27] <greezmunkey> ridin: I think you can only do that in KDE
[04:28] <ridin> ok greezmunkey
[04:28] <greezmunkey> ridin: at least natively anyways
[04:28] <Out_Cold> anyone mind helping me figure out why i'm not networked properly?? http://pastebin.com/XWsH7uSE

[04:33] <sysRPL> i dunno

[04:34] <sysRPL> http://youtube.com
[04:34] <greezmunkey> heh
[04:34] <qwm> i've got a frustrating problem. i made a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04.. and all was fine.
[04:34] <Out_Cold> could be that certain servers are just down... not like they don't have a half dozen mirrors of youtube if not more
[04:35] <qwm> then i installed the apps i always use... and after reboot. pulseaudio had stopped working, and gdm and gconf were misbehaving... i fixed gconf and gdm after some googling. but now three days later... i'm still without sound.
[04:35] <ridin> i'm unable to get into youtube sysRPL
[04:36] <ridin> so i guess it's not you
[04:36] <qwm> can't use the gnome-volume-control tool at all.
[04:36] <greezmunkey> costre: check this, pretty cool: http://www.dipity.com/timetube/YouTube_Mirrors

[04:37] <LinuxGuy2009> bootstrap: Yeah i just had youtube give google server error.
[04:37] <qwm> is there a simple way to list all packages that don't come with a fresh install? :)
[04:37] <mknarr> same here
[04:37] <roxan> I forgot how I did, I don't want window breaking across desktop, I have compiz enabled
[04:37] <y007ghg7> ok i need help making another profile in firefox bit it says i dont have permissions
[04:37] <qwm> or to list packages in chronological order after when they were installed.
[04:37] <roxan> across workspace *
[04:38] <Out_Cold> qwm: there is a log for apt somewhere
[04:38] <iflema> ridin ya still want different wallpaper per workspace? ccsm wallpaper plugin and gconf editor will get you there... do you use compiz?
[04:38] <Out_Cold> qwm: would be written cronologically
[04:38] <roxan> y007ghg7, did you try to put your profile directory on your home folder ?
[04:38] <LinuxGuy2009> qwm: What packages do you need and we can tell you what to get?
[04:38] <qwm> i need to find out what package broke pulseaudio for me
[04:38] <greezmunkey> iflema: that's only with compiz, right?
[04:38] <ridin> yes iflema
[04:38] <Out_Cold> LinuxGuy2009: i think he can't remember what he installed
[04:38] <ridin> i'm using compiz
[04:39] <nimbiotics> hello evry1. what is there a command i can use in terminal mode that will make me a superuser, instead of having to use sudo evrytime??? thanks a lot in advanced
[04:39] <qwm> Out_Cold: it's mostly the dependencies i'm concerned about
[04:39] <LinuxGuy2009> Out_Cold: oh jeeze
[04:39] <draginxx> whats the best way to compress an image file? Ive tried optipng and pngcrush already...
[04:39] <iflema> greezmunkey yep..... or kubuntu xubuntu
[04:39] <y007ghg7> i need help logging into root
[04:39] <greezmunkey> nimbiotics: sudo -i
[04:39] <y007ghg7> i mean
[04:39] <ridin> y007ghg7, try sudo su
[04:39] <ridin> idk
[04:39] <y007ghg7> to have full access to files
[04:39] <_pg_> How do I add the desktop switcher applet to the bottom panel? I dont see it in the list of applets I can add. (lxde)
[04:39] <nimbiotics> ty greezmunkey!
[04:39] <Out_Cold> y007ghg7: either suggestion will work.. sudo -i or sudo su
[04:39] <y007ghg7> because i need to make another profile in firefox
[04:39] <LinuxGuy2009> draginxx:  you can "zip" it in whatever container you want or use a lossless compression format if thats what your after.
[04:40] <roxan> y007ghg7, why don't you make another profile in your home directory itself
[04:40] <y007ghg7> i cant
[04:40] <greezmunkey> nimbiotics: Don't use that to run gnome (or any other graphical) apps!
[04:40] <draginxx> LinuxGuy2009, cant zip it have to upload it
[04:41] <iflema> ridin the gconf-editor part is apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop << uncheck it after configuring the images in the ccsm wallpaper plugin
[04:41] <LinuxGuy2009> draginxx: So whats the issue maybe i can help?
[04:41] <draginxx> LinuxGuy2009, I have an image thats 38kb
[04:41] <draginxx> Need to have it < 30kb
[04:41] <detrix> hello everyone.  question about ubutnu 10.04 and the integrated IM applet.  How does one get a buddy list to see whos online?
[04:41] <nimbiotics> greezmunkey: np. im not trying to use any graphical interfase, just a bunch of (aircrack) commands
[04:41] <LinuxGuy2009> draginxx: why not jpg?
[04:42] <h00k> draginxx: you can use The Gimp to save it with lesser quality
[04:42]  * greezmunkey guards his AP...
[04:42] <RxDx> why my emesene isnt opening directly when I click on the icon on the bar?
[04:42] <acerimmer> detrix: set up your account then change your status to online.  You should then be able to see people in your area.
[04:42] <draginxx> LinuxGuy2009, ive tried optipng and pngcrush
[04:42] <silentx> Hey I've found two bugs in lucid and i hope to help me to fix it .. the first one is that netcat is not working anymore ..
[04:42] <detrix> acerimmer: nope. have done that.  not getting a buddy list.
[04:42] <draginxx> h00k, how can I save it with less quality?
[04:43] <LinuxGuy2009> draginxx: PNG is lossless and if its a full scale photo your not gonna get 30kb with png
[04:43] <draginxx> Ive tried compressing it to maximum
[04:43] <draginxx> LinuxGuy2009, true ill try jpg :)
[04:43] <LinuxGuy2009> draginxx: open it in gimp and try jpeg with a custom quality
[04:43] <y007ghg7> if i try to make a new file in my /etc folder i dont have permssions
[04:43] <h00k> draginxx: when you save it, save as jpg, and you can adjust the quality from the save-as dialog and it will give you a file-size preview
[04:43] <detrix> acerimmer: thanks though.
[04:43] <Narya> I have this bad feeling I know the answer to this, but
[04:43] <LinuxGuy2009> y007ghg7:gksudo nautilus and now you can.
[04:44] <h00k> y007ghg7: your user doesn't have access by itself to write to /etc, what are you writing there?
[04:44] <draginxx> h00k, got it! thanks! And yeah jpg was definitely the right wya to go (I always thought jpgs were bigger)
[04:44] <draginxx> thanks guys
[04:44] <Narya> |   A   |   B   |       C       |
[04:44] <Narya> if my linux install is on B
[04:44] <y007ghg7> h00k: i am trying to make a new profile for firefox
[04:44] <Narya> if that's my hard drive partition
[04:44] <Guest54869> hi, i am setting up a webserver on ubuntu, using apache2 and was wondering... when apache2 is installed via synaptic package manager it seems to spread the files around.  Where should I look for information about which directories are used?
[04:44] <Narya> there's no way to make A join C, is there?
[04:44] <Out_Cold> Narya: yes and no.... look into LVMs
[04:44] <LinuxGuy2009> Narya: no
[04:45] <eigenman> hi room. quick question: how can I find the package that replaces libglx? I have accidently overriden that file.
[04:45] <silentx> Guys .. I hope to help me .. why netcat is not working .. it looks like if it hanged ..! ..
[04:45] <h00k> y007ghg7: try: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles
[04:45] <Narya> Out_Cold, what are LVMs?
[04:45] <y007ghg7> h00k: i have tried
[04:45] <y007ghg7> but i dont have permissions to copy the files over
[04:45] <LinuxGuy2009> !lvm | Narya
[04:46] <LinuxGuy2009> Narya: copy C files to A and then do whatever else you want
[04:46] <Out_Cold> Narya: it's a way to compile multiple disks into one or many partitions.. what you want... but a pain in the rear
[04:46] <y007ghg7> h00k: i got sent here by the mozilla irc
[04:46] <h00k> y007ghg7: I'm not sure, perhaps somebody else knows
[04:46] <poohstix> y007ghg7: by any change is the partition full?  That will prevent you from being able to write.
[04:47] <LinuxGuy2009> y007ghg7: create the file on dektop or home and then ALT+F2 gksudo nautilus, that will let you copy to /etc
[04:47] <Guest54869> hmm... it seems the bulk of it may be in /usr/share/apache2...
[04:47] <Agrajag-> i have a 2nd monitor (dvi) that since updating to 10.04, seems to change brightness depending on what's displayed on the screen. even when scrolling through a webpage in google chrome the brightness changes. if i use "display" to display a large image, it also goes very bright. how do i stop this?
[04:47] <y007ghg7> poohstix: no i have 13 gigs left
[04:47] <y007ghg7> ok thanks
[04:47] <y007ghg7> LinuxGuy2009; thanks i will try
[04:47] <LinuxGuy2009> y007ghg7: welcome
[04:48] <onetinsoldier> silentx: what's the name of your netcat package that you have installed?
[04:48] <y007ghg7> agh ubuntu 10.04 is so different with where the minimize/exit buttons are
[04:48] <silentx> I've not install it .. it comes with lucid
[04:48] <LinuxGuy2009> !controls | y007ghg7
[04:49] <silentx> onetinsoldier, I've not install it .. it comes with lucid
[04:49] <costre> I also experience that, but I doubt it's to do with ubuntu. I could be wrong though
[04:49] <onetinsoldier> silentx: what command are you running to run netcat?
[04:49] <costre> Agrajag-,  I also experience that, but I doubt it's to do with ubuntu. I could be wrong though
[04:49] <silentx> onetinsoldier, " netcat -vlp 6666
[04:49] <silentx> onetinsoldier,  netcat -vlp 6666
[04:50] <onetinsoldier> silentx: what output do you get from the following command? --> dpkg -l '*netcat*' | grep '^ii'
[04:51] <silentx> onetinsoldier,  ii  netcat-openbsd                        1.89-3ubuntu2                                   TCP/IP swiss army knife
[04:51] <bippity> Hello!
[04:51] <onetinsoldier> silentx: did you 'upgrade' to lucid?
[04:51] <h00k> !hi | bippity
[04:51] <silentx> onetinsoldier, no Fresh install ..
[04:51] <onetinsoldier> silentx: roger
[04:52] <silentx> onetinsoldier, roger ?
[04:52] <Guest54869> Anyone know of a nice document that explains where synaptic package manager installs the files for programs on ubuntu?
[04:52] <Out_Cold> anyone here productively use transmissioncli??
[04:53] <Guest54869> I used it to install apache httpd, and would like to know where things ended up...
[04:53] <Guest54869> Would the ubuntu directory structure be identical to debian for installs like apache2 httpd?
[04:53] <LinuxGuy2009> Guest54869: You mean where it downloads packages to? It installs files in packages depending on the packages requirements. You can use synaptic itself and look at a packages properties and see what files it put on your machine and where it put them.
[04:54] <onetinsoldier> silentx: try installing the following, and then using the following --> netcat-traditional <-- and then try the following command --> nc.traditional -vlp 6666
[04:54] <costre> Guest54869, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard :)
[04:54] <Jordan_U> Guest54869: dpkg -L apache2.2-bin apache2.2-common
[04:54] <Guest54869> thank you for the suggestions
[04:55] <onetinsoldier> silentx: try installing the following package --> netcat-traditional <-- and then try the following command --> nc.traditional -vlp 6666

[04:56] <LinuxGuy2009> gaurav__: bash scripting? Sure its just a text file with a list of commands.
[04:56] <h00k> Guest25941: You might want to try #bash

[04:57] <LinuxGuy2009> Guest25941: you set a script file to be exacuteable and then "sh scriptfile.sh"
[04:57] <budlust> I have a usb stick and I was wondering if it was possible to have it as a boot disk with ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server?

[04:59] <Guest25941> lol
[04:59] <Flynsarmy> How do you install virtualbox proprietry in 10.04? on their site there's no lucid link. is it safe to add the karmic repository to lucid considering it messes with the kernel?
[04:59] <Guest25941> but which room should i go to?
[04:59] <h00k> Guest25941: You might want to try #bash
[04:59] <Guest25941> oh ok..thankx
[04:59] <so_what> Hi ! I was using Ubuntu 10.04 properly since 5 days. Today I open my computer i see that Adobe Flash is not working fine :( I did not do any thing yesterday as configuration on Ubuntu. How it is possible ? Can you help me please ?

[04:59] <shawnboy> J_E_K_A: like I said, i copied the 11.2 MB file over into ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and also tried /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ but it won't show up in Firefox.

[04:59] <bazhang> J_E_K_A, in #ubuntu-ph
[05:00] <silentx> onetinsoldier, which is a hang in " gnome panel " ..
[05:00] <greezmunkey> Flynsarmy: I had virtualbox loaded before upgrading to 10.04. It still works just fine, although it did tell me there's a newer version available.
[05:00] <onetinsoldier> silentx: you're welcome :-) don't know that i can help you with your other problem. but anyway, you're welcome
[05:00] <bippity> Okay, so I have Skype running and it froze. I tried pkill but it is still running. My boyfriend can't help me, was wondering if maybe someone in here can.
[05:00] <J_E_K_A> thanks
[05:00] <J_E_K_A> thanks bazhang
[05:01] <silentx> onetinsoldier,  try to left click on " system " > then put the cruiser on the panel > " right click on it .. "  >> it is hanged !
[05:01] <so_what> Hi ! I was using Ubuntu 10.04 properly since 5 days. Today I open my computer i see that Adobe Flash is not working fine :( I did not do any thing yesterday as configuration on Ubuntu. How it is possible ? Can you help me please ?
[05:01] <siavashserver> sorry, bad place for discussing. we are going to release a commercial game, and we are going to use an opensource lib that it's licensed under gpl2 . can we use that lib for free in our engine or there is conflicts?
[05:01] <LinuxGuy2009> bippity: System->Admin->System monitor, find skype and kill it.
[05:01] <NerdsMcGee> Any idea why rhythmbox is segfaulting on libusb?
[05:01] <h00k> so_what: was it working previously?
[05:01] <silentx> onetinsoldier,  it is working now :S ..
[05:01] <so_what> h00k: yes . i am sure.
[05:01] <bazhang> !ot > siavashserver
[05:01] <onetinsoldier> silentx: :D
[05:01] <siavashserver> ty
[05:02] <Guest40186> What is the name of that audio editing software?
[05:02] <LinuxGuy2009> NerdsMcGee: if you have a new bug then perhaps you should report with "ubuntu-bug rhythmbox"?
[05:02] <h00k> Guest40186: Audacity?
[05:02] <bippity> Which?
[05:02] <silentx> onetinsoldier,  thanks a lot but it hanged three times when i install it ..
[05:02] <Guest40186> Yeah, thanks much.
[05:02] <Flynsarmy> greezmunkey, ok. if my laptop explodes i know who to blame :)
[05:02] <bippity> Lol
[05:02] <Guest40186> It's audacity
[05:02] <NerdsMcGee> I can't tell though. It pops the window up and segfaults
[05:02] <greezmunkey> bippity: right click on the panel across the top of your screen, select add to panel, look for force quit, and click o.k
[05:02] <onetinsoldier> silentx: hmmm, interesting
[05:03] <onetinsoldier> silentx: don't know why
[05:03] <h00k> so_what: perhaps check the Software Center and ensure it is installed properly
[05:03] <silentx> onetinsoldier,  thanks .. bbye ..
[05:03] <so_what> h00k: ok im looking for it..
[05:03] <onetinsoldier> silentx: cheers
[05:04] <h00k> so_what: Check for it under "Canonical Partners"
[05:04] <Jordan_U> siavashserver: If the library is GPL, and not LGPL, then no, your proprietary application cannot link to it.
[05:04] <gondomayid> #ubuntu
[05:04] <siavashserver> Jordan_U: thanks
[05:05] <gondomayid> heloo
[05:05] <Jordan_U> siavashserver: You're welcome.
[05:05] <IdleOne> !hi | gondomayid
[05:05] <so_what> h00k: it is installed.
[05:05] <iflema> so_what i never have any trouble...... I dont use whats in the repositories, I create a folder ~/.mozilla/plugins and manually extract/add the flash .so file. The way its supposed to be done........ if you use 64bit... then get the 64bit plugin.......
[05:06] <IdleOne> !wfm
[05:07] <greezmunkey> IdleOne: Am I guilty for telling Flynsarmy that my virtualbox still works for me after an upgrade? ;)
[05:08] <y007ghg7> yeah the alt + f2 thiong didnt work
[05:08] <so_what> iflema: i did that you told me but it does not worked for me. It says that you dont have installed flash. :( so i go to synaptic and i install flashplugin-nonfree. It was worked for 5 days. But now when i open my pc i see that is not working. :(
[05:08] <LinuxGuy2009> y007ghg7: You still having trouble copying a file to /etc?
[05:08] <uLinux> LimeWire doesn't connect... why?
[05:08] <iflema> so_what all other versions must be uninstalled...... and its ~/.mozilla/plugins
[05:09] <y007ghg7> LinuxGuy2009; no but the firefox wont find my bookmarks
[05:09] <so_what> iflema: i know . i have remove every package from synaptic. but it does not worked for me.
[05:09] <Webtester01> I have a ssh server set up and I do remote support, I want to know if I can have the user ssh to the server for VNC purposes, and have my VNC viwer connect to my server and have the server foward the ports to the client.
[05:09] <LinuxGuy2009> y007ghg7: Yeah that bites. Thats why I switched to chrome for the bookmark syncing.
[05:10] <y007ghg7> there is chrome in ubuntu?
[05:10] <iflema> so_what OK
[05:10] <binil> nop
[05:10] <LinuxGuy2009> y007ghg7: Yeah in the software center.
[05:10] <y007ghg7> brb
[05:10]  * y007ghg7 checkiing
[05:10] <LinuxGuy2009> y007ghg7: cool
[05:10] <Webtester01> y007ghg7, There is a chrome beta for linux.
[05:10] <IdleOne> y007ghg7: it's called chromium-browser
[05:11] <greezmunkey> Webtester01: I'm thinking that won't work, you would have to have a tunnel of some sort for VNC to do that.
[05:11] <Agrajag-> costre: sorry, was away for a bit. have you found a solution for it? i know it wasn't happening in 9.10, but is in 10.04
[05:11] <y007ghg7> but why i am tring to get my bookmarks back is i have windows and ubuntu on the same hdd and i am tring to copy my bookmarks off windows to ubuntu
[05:11] <unsure> y007ghg7 can someone explain to y007ghg7 how to log in as root?? firefox new profile etc should be easy!
[05:11] <y007ghg7> because windows wont boot
[05:12] <h00k> !root
[05:12] <so_what>  iflema  h00k : I take this error from terminal when i open the firefox and i go to a flash site : LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /home/yusuf/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so [/home/yusuf/.mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64]
[05:12] <LinuxGuy2009> y007ghg7: Did you try safe mode?
[05:12] <Webtester01> greezmunkey: That is an idea I had: Customer -<-> server <--> me
[05:12] <y007ghg7> yes
[05:12] <y007ghg7> it has a virus that evds the system processes
[05:12] <y007ghg7> ends*
[05:12] <Webtester01> Some customers are behind firewalls.. etc.
[05:12] <unsure> LinuxGuy2009 windows wont boot he is migrrating the profile safe mode is not relevant
[05:12] <h00k> so_what: I'm not sure, perhaps uninstall and reinstall it
[05:12] <gaelfx> I was wondering how the nouveau drivers do if you're hooked up to an HDTV via HDMI? Are there any audio issues and how's the quality?
[05:12] <greezmunkey> Webtester01: check this out, it may be possible after all! : http://www.linuxhorizon.ro/ssh-tunnel.html
[05:12] <LinuxGuy2009> y007ghg7: If you use Chrome or Firefox(make sure you have the correct plugin or whatever installed for firefox) you can sync your bookmarks to your gmail or ubuntu-one accounts.
[05:12] <unsure> !root | y007ghg7
[05:13] <unsure> oh
[05:13] <Webtester01> Thanks, greezmunkey!
[05:13] <greezmunkey> Webtester01: you would have to take that example and make it work for VNC though...
[05:13] <unsure> y007ghg7 did you try running sudo firefox -P ?
[05:13] <greezmunkey> Webtester01: That's pretty cool, me thinks I'll play with that one.
[05:13] <h00k> don't run firefox as sudo
[05:13] <unsure> y007ghg7 did you try running sudo something bout nautilus?
[05:14] <G-man> can anybody help me get itunes to work on ubuntu
[05:14] <h00k> y007ghg7: don't run firefox as root (with sudo) because it will break your permissions
[05:14] <h00k> G-man: iTunes will not run on Linux
[05:14] <jew_> itunes does work on linux :)
[05:14] <h00k> G-man: alternatively, you can use Rhythmbox to manage your iPods and the Ubuntu One software center to purchase DRM free music
[05:14] <so_what> h00k: i re-installed now the flashplugin-nonfree but the problem still... :(
[05:14] <onetinsoldier> want root? sudo -i for anything as root on command line. your home is /root and config files created there are persistent. gksu does the same for x-windows stuff. you can even run nautilus as root with 'gksu'
[05:14] <G-man> whats the sudo for rhythmbox
[05:14] <y007ghg7> im sad that my ipod wont work with rythembox
[05:15] <G-man> sudo apt-get install rhythmbox?
[05:15] <h00k> G-man: It should already be installed, actually
[05:15] <piju> y007ghg7; try gtkpod
[05:15] <aquinas> n8
[05:15] <y007ghg7> i have an ipod shuffle 3rd gen
[05:15] <h00k> y007ghg7: what iPod do you have?
[05:15] <y007ghg7> gtkpod doesndt work either
[05:15] <h00k> y007ghg7: I think that should work now in 10.04
[05:15] <G-man> nice
[05:15] <y007ghg7> i have a ipod shuffle 3rd generation
[05:15] <piju> y007ghg7; try mac osx
[05:15] <h00k> G-man: which iPod do you have?
[05:16] <y007ghg7> i tried everyting for my ipod in 10.04 and it wont work
[05:16] <gaelfx> or how about vdpau? is that supported in the nouveau drivers for NVidia?
[05:16] <onetinsoldier> best bumper sticker i ever saw --> got root?
[05:16] <y007ghg7> lol
[05:17] <unsure> y007ghg7 wait did you start nautilus as root or not?
[05:17] <crazy6> hrm, dist-upgrade didn't work ... http://pastebin.com/y1DuUxWr
[05:17] <y007ghg7> yers i did
[05:17] <cobra-the-joker> Hey guys ... is the ubuntu DVD contains all the Desktop enviroments
[05:17] <cobra-the-joker> ?
[05:17] <unsure> y007ghg7 did it not let you access all folders then?
[05:17] <y007ghg7> 1 sec trying to load chrome
[05:17] <econtomawesome> How do I install a tarball?
[05:17] <y007ghg7> yes it did
[05:17] <onetinsoldier> econtomawesome: /msg me
[05:17] <unsure> y007ghg7 what did it not let you to copy?
[05:18] <acerimmer> cobra-tje-joker: yes it does
[05:18] <h00k> !pm | econtomawesome, onetinsoldier
[05:18] <y007ghg7> it let me copy everything
[05:18] <cobra-the-joker>  acerimmer ,ok . thank you
[05:18] <gaelfx> econtomawesome: tarball is a compressed file, maybe something inside it is for installation, but there may be a better way
[05:18] <unsure> y007ghg7 so now you have windows profile migrated?
[05:18] <y007ghg7> no
[05:18] <unsure> y007ghg7 to the new OS?
[05:18] <econtomawesome> !tty h00k
[05:18] <unsure> y007ghg7 why? what is the problem?
[05:18] <y007ghg7> firefox dont recognise the bookmarks
[05:18] <onetinsoldier> i can tell him how to install tarball here... but i've been told before that it's consider OT for this channel
[05:18] <unsure> y007ghg7 I see
[05:19] <y007ghg7> wait brb
[05:19] <unsure> y007ghg7 this is places.sqlite in profile folder
[05:19] <vinpan> i have 3 computers on network, ubuntu,xp,win7, now i can go to xp and see the files but when i go on win7 i go to the folders and it dose not show anything, any ideas?
[05:19] <gaelfx> econtomawesome: what are you trying to install?
[05:20] <Viking667> hi all. How do I find what package a particular (old) library is in?
[05:20] <crazy6> ugh maybe I should just back up my home dir and start frmo scratch
[05:20] <econtomawesome> gaelfx: google gadgets, at http://code.google.com/p/google-gadgets-for-linux/downloads/list
[05:20] <h00k> econtomawesome: Google Gadgets are in the repositories
[05:20] <y007ghg7> ok im back
[05:20] <gaelfx> vinpan: I have an idea, but it's not a great one. You could set up a LAN-website for file sharing (like do a LAMP stack and create a crummy webpage for listing all the stuff)
[05:20] <econtomawesome> h00k thanks
[05:21] <gaelfx> econtomawesome: like I said, there's probably a better way ;)
[05:21] <y007ghg7> but my bookmarks didnt inport
[05:21] <y007ghg7> import*
[05:21] <unsure> y007ghg7 this is places.sqlite in profile folder
[05:21] <unsure> y007ghg7 this is places.sqlite in profile folder - do you see it?
[05:22] <vinpan> thank but i dont want to do that.lol, you think there is a conflict with 10.04 and win7?
[05:22] <gaelfx> so has anyone used the nouveau drivers with hdmi yet? does it look pretty good or what?
[05:22] <y007ghg7> yes i copyed it
[05:22] <econtomawesome> gaelfx: true, but its about time I've learned how to install one from memory anyhow. Been using Ubuntu now for 1.5 years, done it a few times, but long and ardous to remember how
[05:22] <unsure> y007ghg7 try opening places.sqlite with this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817
[05:23] <gaelfx> econtomawesome: yeah, I know what you mean. usually you just have to use gzip with a few options and them make install blah blah blah
[05:23] <greezmunkey> Webtester01: You will need to set LocalForward yes for the client connectors to do what you want
[05:23] <G-man> whats a good p2p music program that is ubuntu friendly
[05:23] <G-man> ?
[05:24] <joshthecoder> hello, I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.04 64-bit from alt install CD, but it keeps freezing up when it hits the "cleaning up" stage
[05:24] <joshthecoder> any ideas what to do?
[05:24] <vinpan> dose anyone know if there is issues with networking from 10.04 to win7?
[05:24] <econtomawesome> gaelfx: fair enough. I should probably start later in the day
[05:24] <gaelfx> G-man: BitTorrent
[05:24] <econtomawesome> gaelfx earlier, rather
[05:24] <gaelfx> haha, yeah, coffee is your frien
[05:24] <greezmunkey> vinpan: no, were you using it prior to 10.04?
[05:24] <gaelfx> *friend
[05:25] <vinpan> it worked fine with 9.04
[05:25] <Canti_> Is there a way to see old versions of files with the text editor nano? I accidentally over-wrote some fortran source code
[05:25] <vinpan> i mean 9.10
[05:25] <greezmunkey> fortran, yikes
[05:25] <D-coy> hi all
[05:25]  * Viking667 shudders. Can't be as bad as COBOL
[05:25] <y007ghg7> how do i run the addon from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5817 i have it installed
[05:26] <mdel> can rhythmbox connect to itunes shares?
[05:26] <greezmunkey> vinpan: what type of networking please, details.
[05:26] <onetinsoldier> Viking667: hello. still looking for old library?
[05:26] <Viking667> yup.
[05:26] <vinpan> umm, just file sharing
[05:26] <Zombie_Will> Hello, fine people.
[05:26] <Zombie_Will> I will be installing Ubuntu for the first time shortly.
[05:27] <greezmunkey> vinpan: ubox to win7, or win7 to ubox?
[05:27] <gaelfx> vinpan: are you using SAMBA?
[05:27] <vinpan> ubuntu to win7
[05:27] <Zombie_Will> I am also installing win7
[05:27] <gaelfx> Zombie_Will: glad to hear it. should be fun for you D
[05:27] <onetinsoldier> Viking667: do you know the name of it? for example... libgif.so.4
[05:27] <vinpan> thats the thing i can get into xp file sharing and i didnt use samba for that
[05:27] <Viking667> yes.
[05:28] <Viking667> libgtk-1.2.so
[05:28] <greezmunkey> vinpan: ok, open Nautilus find a folder in your home directory that you want to share, right click the icon and select share.
[05:28] <Viking667> You can see what I mean by "old"
[05:28] <mdel> i could have sworn that rhythmbox could connect to my itunes share at home
[05:28] <Zombie_Will> I'm seeing conficting things with the variuos guides I read about installing both OSs.... anyhelp? :/
[05:28] <mdel> but its not working over VPN
[05:28] <Zombie_Will> fresh hard drive :D
[05:28] <Zombie_Will> so should make this easier
[05:28] <gaelfx> vinpan: now that is pretty interesting, not sure what the problem could be then
[05:28] <G-man> how do i use the bit torrent for music
[05:28] <greezmunkey> vinpan: once you have that done, type smbtree in a terminal see what you get.
[05:28] <G-man> i hit enter and it does nothing
[05:28] <onetinsoldier> Viking667: ok, i usually try 'apt-file'... install it and try it you like. if you give me name i can search for it now if you want
[05:29] <Viking667> I have resources here.. I'll try apt-file. Thanks, I wasn't sure if that command even existed.
[05:29] <vinpan> Nautilus?
[05:29] <onetinsoldier> Viking667: roger. use my nick to address me if you can
[05:29] <gaelfx> G-man: the same as with everything else, you find a torrent file, of the legal variety, and open it with your bit torrent client
[05:29] <greezmunkey> vinpan: file browser, places menu
[05:29] <Viking667> onetinsoldier: sure.
[05:29] <twiztid> hey could someone help me with the cario dock workin in opengl?
[05:29] <gaelfx> G-man: you need to download the .torrent files from the internet
[05:29] <crazy6> what can I do about texlive-latex-base-doc not installing correctly? http://pastebin.com/LcRxFZ10
[05:29] <Flannel> Viking667: If not, you can check at packages.ubuntu.com (scroll down to the second set of form stuff)
[05:29] <KEROLiUKAS> anyone have a solution to "IOError in chroot_setup(): No such file or directory: '/target/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d" ?
[05:29] <onetinsoldier> Viking667: dang. sorry. doesn't look like Lucid has that lib
[05:30] <greezmunkey> Viking667: you looking for libglx by chance?
[05:30] <Viking667> just installing apt-file now.
[05:30] <onetinsoldier> Viking667: roger.
[05:30] <Viking667> dunno. All I know is: I'm trying to run ePSXe and it wants that old lib (and probably other stuff from that era too)
[05:30] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: he's looking for old gtk... libgtk-1.2.so
[05:31] <Viking667> If I can't find it in the repos, I might have to copy them over from my Mandriva machine... yeesh.
[05:31]  * Viking667 nods
[05:31] <greezmunkey> Viking667: my bad, that was someone else, carry on! :) Got it onetinsoldier
[05:31] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: cheers
[05:32] <Viking667> Well, I may well need libglx, I don't know.
[05:32] <intok> Anyone got 10.04 running on an intel i8* series IGP graphics system?

[05:33] <jew_> where can i learn how to use terminals and what not?
[05:33] <Viking667> heh. On the internet.
[05:33] <vinpan> ok i did that
[05:33] <onetinsoldier> jew_: try http://linuxcommand.org/
[05:33] <Viking667> there are PLENTY of tutorials for that sort of thing.
[05:33] <unsure> !terminal | jew_
[05:33] <intok> Viking667 I'm guessing so, as I've got a box with the i845GL chipset that has a weird set of graphics errors http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9227361#post9227361
[05:33] <jew_> well i found one and they said to make another account to mess with

[05:33] <jew_> and i did ..and it wont even load it
[05:34] <Viking667> intok: I suspect the 845 is one I've never met.

[05:34] <isurit> hello
[05:34] <Viking667> greezmunkey: that may be another option. Thanks.
[05:34] <Viking667> Now, let me clear off from here and go do some of this...
[05:34] <greezmunkey> vinpan: what did smbtree show you, don't flood-paste here
[05:35] <greezmunkey> vinpan: did it show you the folder you shared?
[05:35] <mdel> can rhythmbox connect to itunes 9 shares??
[05:35] <vinpan> i guess the share folders
[05:35] <vinpan> ya
[05:35] <crazy6> is there a file that keeps record of the install packages? maybe I can resolve this byu going in and manually removing it from the list
[05:35] <mrbook1> Why when I boot  Ubuntu as guest it asks to be installed. i quit this screen and reboot. It reboots correctly.
[05:36] <greezmunkey> vinpan: good, samba is working then. Are you running a firewall of any soft on your ubox?
[05:36] <luckymurali> Hi all
[05:36] <luckymurali> my ubuntu version is 6.0\
[05:36] <vinpan> nope
[05:36] <onetinsoldier> crazy6: yes. i've had people do that before. have to be careful though. make a backup of the file first for sure. it's --> /var/lib/dpkg/status
[05:36] <greezmunkey> vinpan: can you ping the ubox from win7?
[05:36] <luckymurali> Im not able to install gpart on it
[05:36] <mrbook1> !webcam
[05:37] <luckymurali> even using apt also
[05:37] <mrbook1> !install
[05:37] <luckymurali> gpasrted
[05:37] <Viking667> gparted ...
[05:37] <luckymurali> yes
[05:37] <vinpan> ok now from win7 i can see the folder
[05:37] <vinpan> so it should work now
[05:38] <greezmunkey> vinpan: problem solved? You just needed a shared folder! :)
[05:38] <vinpan> thx for the help bra
[05:38] <jew_> it says this
[05:38] <greezmunkey> vinpan: :)
[05:38] <jew_> You're not logged in as root, are you?
[05:38] <jew_> Don't operate the computer as the superuser. You should only become the superuser when absolutely necessary.  Create a user account for yourself now!
[05:38] <luckymurali> the problem is the previous person who worked on that machine made "/" as 17 gb and rest as left
[05:38] <jew_> how do i do that?
[05:38] <_pg_> im using wicd and ubuntu studio x64, I can see wireless networks but i always get "connection failed: unable to get an ip address". it used to work, before I installed E i think.
[05:38] <FloodBot1> jew_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:38] <greezmunkey> vinpan: better than bein' called panties ;)
[05:39] <luckymurali> I want to gain the space becoz my 17gb almost full
[05:39] <luckymurali> give me some ideas
[05:39] <z3row3b> has anyone played with cloud servers?
[05:39] <mrbook1> Newbie here and i am really frustrated with ubunti
[05:39] <z3row3b> mrbook1: what's the problem?
[05:39] <greezmunkey> luckymurali: delete some stuff, compress rarely used stuff, add a HDD, ...
[05:40] <jew_> take a look pleaseee http://paste.ubuntu.com/428073/plain/
[05:40] <luckymurali> greezmunkey, hi
[05:40] <luckymurali> that is a svn server
[05:40] <onetinsoldier> jew_: you probably want to use the 'adduser' command. look at the manual for it with the following command 'man adduser'
[05:40] <luckymurali> I cannot delete any stuff
[05:40] <_pg_> im using wicd and ubuntu studio x64, I can see wireless networks but i always get "connection failed: unable to get an ip address". it used to work, before I installed E i think. Prop. broadcom driver is in use. someone please help me.
[05:40] <mdel> seems like a simple question.... rhythmbox- can it connect to itunes 9 shares???
[05:40] <mrbook1> Name it - i got it. 1st I am running ubuntu as a vbox guest running windows xp. When I boot up it asks me to reinstall. I cancell reboot and it's ok
[05:40] <luckymurali> so I tried gparted
[05:40] <luckymurali> but I m not able to install it
[05:40] <codygman> where does ubuntu keep the video cache?
[05:40] <phoenix_srv> hey guys, question; i've had ubuntu 9.10, and recently updated to ubuntu 10.04, but it went straight to low graphics mode. So i downloaded the latest nvidia driver and attempted to install it in recovery mode. It gave me an error about being unable to unload nvidia.ko, so I've basically pasted a few things about my PCI devices, nvidia installer logs, loaded modules, etc., so if someone could point some light on the issue, that'd be great. pasted here http
[05:41] <jew_> nothings there
[05:41] <z3row3b> mrbook: You're running Ubuntu inside a virtual computer running on top of windows?
[05:41] <greezmunkey> luckymurali: whoa slow down there chainsaw, how about you explain your situation, gparted can easily destroy your data if you are not *careful*
[05:41] <jew_> there is no adduser or man adduser
[05:42] <phoenix_srv> jew_: could always use useradd
[05:42] <luckymurali> yes please advice me
[05:42] <mrbook1> z3row3b: Yes I installed vbox in Windows XP then installed Ubuntu in vobox.
[05:42] <onetinsoldier> jew_: there should be. there is on my Ubuntu system
[05:42] <z3row3b> mrbook1: okay, so you installed ubuntu? As in, the entire installation process completed and it says to reboot into your new installation?
[05:42] <arand> mrbook1: Is the ubuntu liveCD iso still attached to the virtualbox machine?
[05:43] <z3row3b> arand: Just what I was about to ask. :-)
[05:43] <mrbook1> z3row3b: The only things that work well is the internet.. and firefox. I can't get my webcam to work or the mic - both built in
[05:43] <greezmunkey> luckymurali: I'm not sayin' a word until you describe exactly what it is that you need to do.
[05:43] <z3row3b> mrbook1: Be sure you remove the ISO image from the virtual drive.
[05:43] <z3row3b> mrbook1: You're using it within a virtual computer -- I doubt it has access to all your peripherals.
[05:43] <Naixs> join #ubuntu-cn
[05:43] <jew_> okay i typed in adduser and it sayed only a root user can add a user ..then i typed in man adduser and a bunch of stuff poped up
[05:43] <mrbook1> arand: I download the iso file and used that to install
[05:44] <onetinsoldier> jew_: ok
[05:44] <dsnyders> Hi all!  When I run audacity, it plays about a quarter of a second of the file then stops.  What gives?
[05:44] <z3row3b> mrbook1: That's a side-effect of using a virtual computer.
[05:44] <luckymurali> greezmunkey, I have ubuntu 6 installed on it which is acting as a svn server
[05:44] <jew_> now what?
[05:44] <z3row3b> mrbook1: If you actually ran it in a LiveCD rather than in a virtual system, you'd have better luck, because it'll actually have access to your peripherals.
[05:44] <luckymurali> it has 80 gb HDD
[05:44] <onetinsoldier> jew_: you can use page-up and page down to browse through a man page. press 'q' to quit out of it
[05:44] <mrbook1> z3row3b: are you saying I may be luckier to install it on it's own partition,
[05:45] <luckymurali> they made partition of "/" drive to 17 GB
[05:45] <z3row3b> mrbook1: Yes. But if you want to use it in VirtualBox, you'll find that you won't have access to all of your computer's hardware because the Vbox is simulating a completely different computer.
[05:45] <jew_> how do i add a user to my computer?
[05:45] <arand> jew_: use sudo
[05:45] <onetinsoldier> jew_: if you were want to create a new user, that man page tells you how to use the 'adduser' command to do it
[05:45] <mrbook1> z3row3b; I'll burn a cd and try it on a live cd and see what happens.
[05:45] <arand> !sudo | jew_
[05:45] <luckymurali> it is almost full now and showing less disk space but If i check for entire disk it having aroung 40 GB free space
[05:45] <z3row3b> mrbook1: Sounds good. Any more questions, feel free to contact me.
[05:46] <luckymurali> I want to add the free space to the "/" drive
[05:46] <unsure> is this a drive??
[05:46] <mrbook1> z3row3b: Thanks
[05:46] <unsure> could be C: or something??
[05:46] <luckymurali> means a partition
[05:46] <unsure> still, C:, D:, F:, etc
[05:46] <luckymurali> like /./boot etc
[05:46] <dsnyders> How do I edit audio files?  I used to use audacity but it no longer works.
[05:47] <unsure> /./boot?????? is this a path??
[05:47] <jew_> whats the diff between my account now and a root account?
[05:47] <unsure> !root
[05:47] <unsure> !rootaccount
[05:47] <unsure> !rootuser
[05:47] <unsure> ummm...
[05:47] <dsnyders> jew_, a root account has special privileges.
[05:47] <unsure> in one line, root is the user that can do anything with the system
[05:48] <jew_> oh okay ..well since i just started using linux today i shouldnt use root account? lol
[05:48] <Silly> root can bring a system it its knees in one fell swoop
[05:48] <dsnyders> jew_, By using the sudo command you can grant yourself temporary root privileges.
[05:49] <Flannel> jzacsh: Ubuntu uses sudo instead of a root login.   (In other word, how can I run "startx" automatically? Sane too.)
[05:49] <luckymurali> greezmunkey, any tips for me
[05:50] <crashdata> red2kic, i dont think rc.local exist on ubuntu
[05:50] <dsnyders> !audio
[05:50] <arand> luckymurali: If you have unpartitioned space it should be a rather simple procedure to resize a current partition using a liveCD.
[05:50] <mae_tae> hello people
[05:50] <mdel> seems like a simple question.... rhythmbox- can it connect to itunes 9 shares???
[05:50] <unsure> hi mae_tae
[05:50] <jebss> (Can't contact the database server: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) (localhost). I am tring to open a site and got this message. can anybody please tell me what's the problem and how to resolve it?
[05:50] <onetinsoldier> jew_: try --> sudo adduser user_name_here
[05:50] <jebss> thanks
[05:50] <red2kic> crashdata: "file /etc/rc.local"
[05:50] <red2kic> crashdata: It exist! :)
[05:51] <mae_tae> i've apt-get update but it tries to connect to our proxy (<IP_ADDRESS>), how will i change the settings of that IP?
[05:51] <greezmunkey> luckymurali: hmm, ok. It sounds to me like you need to do some serious disk maintenance on the server. You may consider using dd to image the existing disk to a new, larger disk. Look here: http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/152592, then google for the other tools you'll need to make this all work.
[05:51] <crashdata> hmm that didnt exist on 9.04
[05:51] <dsnyders> jew_, the sudo command will prompt you for a password.  That is your password, not the root password.
[05:51] <crashdata> i guess 10.04 its back
[05:51] <phoenix_srv> anyone had a chance to look at my earlier request for help?
[05:51] <z3row3b> phoenix_srv: what's up?
[05:51] <luckymurali> greezmunkey thanks

[05:52] <dsnyders> Hi all!  What program do you use to edit audio files?
[05:52] <mae_tae> i've apt-get update but it tries to connect to our proxy (<IP_ADDRESS>), how will i change the settings of that IP?
[05:52] <phoenix_srv> z3row3b: that's what i wrote before ^
[05:52] <greezmunkey> luckymurali: It goes without saying the you will want a *tested* backup...
[05:52] <jew_> yay thanks guys
[05:52] <red2kic> crashdata: What?
[05:52] <z3row3b> phoenix_srv: unfortunately that's outside my realm of experience, sorry :-/
[05:52] <onetinsoldier> jew_: cheers, you're welcome

[05:53] <xxkitexx1> hello
[05:53] <xxkitexx1> can someone help me out
[05:53] <xxkitexx1> kinda got a problem
[05:53] <apstanto> I'm trying to install ubuntu 9.10 amd64 on my desktop, but when I boot from the cd, it shows the first screen, I select boot with no changes to computer, it starts to boot, but just goes to a terminal, and all the text flashes.  I stop the gdm and it stops flashing. But what do I do from here?  I want to install ubuntu.
[05:53] <Guest35590> i have a maxtor onetouch 500GB, if i reformat this as ext4, should i leave the preinstalled drivers etc. on there? or does it not matter?
[05:53] <mae_tae> i've tried to type this apt-get update but it tries to connect to our proxy (<IP_ADDRESS>), where will i change the settings of that IP?
[05:53] <luckymurali> becouse It is not supporting ubuntu 6.0
[05:53] <ejv> awesome! thanks red2kic / phoenix_srv
[05:54] <Sereph> was REISUB removed in 10.04?
[05:54] <phoenix_srv> ejv: for my part, no worries
[05:54] <xxkitexx1> im trying to install my graphics card driver
[05:54] <dsnyders> xxkitexx1, nobody can help you.  you haven't told anyone the problem.
[05:54] <xxkitexx1> but it keeps  giving me a vcdk error
[05:54] <greezmunkey> luckymurali: you will likely be running that of of a live CD, as I said Google for upgrading a hadr drive, but look a several posts before deciding on an approach.
[05:54] <ejv> ctrl + l is a super short cut red2kic / phoenix_srv
[05:54] <mae_tae> i've tried to type this apt-get update but it tries to connect to our proxy (<IP_ADDRESS>), where will i change the settings of that IP?
[05:54] <ejv> ;)
[05:54] <greezmunkey> s/of of/off of
[05:54] <xxkitexx1> i went to the amd website and downloaded the drivers for linux for a particular card
[05:54] <luckymurali> ok
[05:55] <SwedeMike> apstanto: try 10.04 first, if you have new hardware it might be a driver problem.
[05:55] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: what is the output of the following command:     cat /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:55] <xxkitexx1> so i dont understand why it doesnt install
[05:55] <abhijain> how to install wine on ubuntu
[05:55] <rafaelsoaresbr> !ask > xxkitexx1
[05:55] <xxkitexx1> im using the newest one
[05:55] <Sereph> !wine > abhijain
[05:55] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: (put it in pastebin.com)
[05:55] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, ok ill try that
[05:55] <ejv> !enter | xxkitexx1
[05:55] <apstanto> SwedeMike:  Is 10.04 out?
[05:55] <SwedeMike> apstanto: yes.
[05:55] <kilrae> could someone running lucid confirm something for me? right click at the very top of the top panel (ie: the top of the screen); does the menu pop up?
[05:55] <acerimmer> !dependcies>xxkitexx1
[05:55] <acerimmer> kilrae: correct
[05:55] <Sereph> kilrae: right or left?
[05:55] <greezmunkey> kilrae: yes
[05:56] <apstanto> SwedeMike:  Didn't know, last I heard it was still unstable.  I'll give it a shot ;)
[05:56] <phoenix_srv> abhijain: apt-get install wine
[05:56] <mewie> Hi.
[05:56] <xxkitexx1> so does anyone know whats the problem
[05:56] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, i dont find any ip in there, only list of url
[05:56] <arand> kilrae: yep
[05:56] <phoenix_srv> xxkitexx1: what happens when you try?
[05:56] <crashdata> red2kic, in regular linux it exist in /etc/rc.d
[05:56] <ejv> I personally got lost in the sea of people talking, try typing out your problem fully on one line
[05:56] <Guest35590> real quick, i'm using the 10.04 liveCD right now
[05:56] <xxkitexx1> it gives me a vckd error
[05:57] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: so just to confirm, the url's are all ubuntu related? as in, they're not your organisations IP's?
[05:57] <xxkitexx1> vcdk error sorry
[05:57] <ejv> xkcd error? you should be so lucky.... /me drumrolls
[05:57] <Guest35590> i have my external USB maxtor 500GB hooked up. it's virtually empty, should I just repartition it to ext4 with GParted?
[05:57] <kilrae> arand: your mouse pointer is at the very top pixel of the screen? if you push the cursor all the way to the top left and left click, does the the Applications menu still open?
[05:57] <phoenix_srv> xxkitexx1: not a vkd error?
[05:57] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, yes, no ip's in there
[05:57] <phoenix_srv> ah
[05:58] <xxkitexx1> im runing it right now from terminal
[05:58] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: could you paste an output of an attempted apt-get update command please? into pastebin.com
[05:58] <mae_tae> ok
[05:58] <Guest35590> also, can i change my handle easily?
[05:58] <crazy6> wow this problem has only spiral way out of control: http://pastebin.com/p9euuVnh
[05:58] <red2kic> crashdata: Well, I'm going to try it. (Using commands in .bash_profile).
[05:58] <xxkitexx1> it says vcdk is missing
[05:58] <ejv> has ubuntu packaged wgetpaste yet? they really need to get on that...
[05:58] <red2kic> ejv: Where did you hail from? Here, we call it pastebinit
[05:59] <arand> kilrae: Ah, no, on my karmic system it doesn't at least, in virtualbox lucid it seems to work...
[05:59] <ejv> red2kic: gentoo
[05:59] <xxkitexx1> i have been looking all over the place and i cant figure it out
[05:59] <dsnyders> Has anyone got audacity working in 9.04?
[05:59] <unsure> !audacity
[05:59] <red2kic> ejv: I see! I know Fedora call it fgetpaste -- Something like that. :)
[05:59] <unsure> uhm
[05:59] <phoenix_srv> xxkitexx1: unfortunately, i dont have a lot of experience with ati cards, so maybe the forums will be your best bet?
[06:00] <crashdata> red2kic, u just wnat ur ubuntu to log u in directly to xwindows right
[06:00] <ejv> red2kic: haha yea this whole gnome gui nautilus thing is new to me ;)
[06:00] <Guest35590> test
[06:00] <kilrae> arand: you wouldn't be able to hit that pixel too easily in a VM I'd expect, but you're having it in Karmic? (/me runs upstairs to try this on Karmic)
[06:00] <xxkitexx1> oo
[06:00] <red2kic> crashdata: I'm going to try it. Yes. No gdm or xdm.
[06:00] <greezmunkey> crazy6: Your system is running though, right?
[06:00] <crazy6> greezmunkey: yeah, seems to be
[06:00] <red2kic> ejv: There are a new feature in nautilus (released in Lucid). F3 (for split-window). Making it easier to manage movies.
[06:01] <Guest35590> test
[06:01] <greezmunkey> crazy6: I had the same issue, I'll see If I can find the fix I used, brb
[06:01] <xxkitexx1> this is way to much trouble just to install a driver
[06:01] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, there's no error, it just try to connect to our proxy (<IP_ADDRESS>), supposedly it just directly downloaded those listed in source list
[06:01] <qwm> someone wish me luck. i've removed shitloads of programs (somehow a the whole lot of xfce and kde packages had found their way into my system), and now i intend to reboot, and HOPEFULLY pulseaudio will work again
[06:01] <ejv> red2kic nice find
[06:02] <xxkitexx1> would me being crossfired have anything to do with it
[06:02] <greezmunkey> crazy6: check here, I found this very useful: http://itechlog.com/linux/2008/12/18/fix-broken-package-ubuntu/
[06:03] <greezmunkey> crazy6: just be sure to work through it slowly, you'll have to read into it a bit.
[06:03] <phoenix_srv> xxkitexx1: possible
[06:03] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: could i still grab a paste?
[06:03] <crashdata> red2kic, it should be in /etc/inittab but this doesnt exist in ubuntu
[06:03] <mae_tae> ok, for a while
[06:03] <Guest35590> if i have a 9.10 install that is ext3, will i be able to rsync it to an external hard drive that is formatted ext4?
[06:03] <Guest35590> i'm wondering  if i should format my external hard drive as ext3 or ext4
[06:03] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, here's the link http://pastebin.com/8BKi0GaA
[06:04] <crashdata> where is the inittab in ubuntu?
[06:04] <Asa-Thor> Video problem: when I enter full screen in a couple of games, some graphics are redrawn an inch or so down
[06:04] <greezmunkey> Guest35590: I makes sense to me that it should be the same as your internal HDD's, I could be wrong.
[06:04] <dsnyders> crashdata, /etc/event.d
[06:04] <xxkitexx1> i just disabled it
[06:05] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, how will i fix those error, http://pastebin.com/8BKi0GaA
[06:05] <Guest35590> greezmunkey, thanks. yeah, what i am probably goint to do though is upgrade to 10.04
[06:05] <Guest35590> and then upgrade to ext4
[06:05] <crashdata> dsnyders, doesnt exist
[06:05] <xxkitexx1> could it be virtual boc
[06:05] <Viking667> /discon/bye
[06:05] <xxkitexx1> box
[06:05] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: seems one of a few possible issues, either the IP is wrong, or the proxy doesn't accept connections of that type/size (i.e., blocking that file type), or the proxy server is down at the moment
[06:06] <phoenix_srv> xxkitexx1: if you're running it in virtualbox
[06:06] <greezmunkey> Guest35590: It is a Linux box, so just about anything is possible, but why invite trouble, right :)
[06:06] <phoenix_srv> you'll need to install the virtualbox graphics drivers, because the system only sees a virtual graphics card, not your  real graphpics card
[06:06] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, the proxy is running, where will i change the ip of that?
[06:06] <Omen_20> hi. Did the fstab file change any between 9.10 and 10.04?
[06:06] <Guest35590> greez, ok, thanks. yeah, i'm gonna format to ext3
[06:06] <phoenix_srv> so when you try and install the ati drivers, it will just think "no card exists"
[06:06] <Guest35590> thanks for your help
[06:06] <dsnyders> !inittab
[06:06] <xxkitexx1> oo
[06:07] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, provided that IP is wrong, so where will i set that?
[06:07] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: system > preferences > network proxy is probably where its set
[06:07] <xxkitexx1> so how do i install or find it for virtual box
[06:07] <Guest35590> I just wanted to say that I was using gopher and archie back in 1994, but I never got IRC. this is my first time on IRC ever and it was very helpful
[06:07] <Ferb> is there any virtual webcam drivers available for Ubuntu??
[06:07] <phoenix_srv> xxkitexx1: google for "virtualbox graphics drivers"
[06:07] <red2kic> crashdata: I guess the suggestion from a website does not work.
[06:07] <dsnyders> crashdata, ubuntu doesn't use inittab like other linux systems.  It has been replaced with upstart.
[06:07] <phoenix_srv> or, you may be able to click to install it in the virtualbox menu
[06:07] <greezmunkey> Guest35590: There you go, what...no veronica???
[06:07] <red2kic> !runlevels | crashdata
[06:08] <crashdata> red2kic, then how do u change the run level?
[06:08] <dsnyders> crashdata, sorry about the quick but wrong /etc/event.d reference
[06:08] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: if you can't get it working, you may have to proxy it, in which case, you need to have a valid proxy that you know works (such as an ssh socks proxy), and then install proxychains, and then run update like this:  sudo proxychains apt-get update
[06:08] <phoenix_srv> and that will put all your traffic through your proxy
[06:08] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, i see, but we're not using GUI, sorry im just new to linux
[06:09] <phoenix_srv> ah ok, i cant recall where the proxy is set in the conf files, but a quick google search should tell you
[06:09] <phoenix_srv> proxychains is not a gui though, mae_tae, so that may work
[06:09] <phoenix_srv> alternatively, if all your details for the proxy are correct, you could just get the admins to allow that file type through
[06:10] <crazy6> greezmunkey: argh, it's stuck on cpio, and I already removed that from the status file... any ideas?
[06:11] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, ok, actually i just want to remove that setting of that of why it connects to proxy, my problem is where will i edit that setting
[06:11] <Marmaduke> Would anyone be willing to help me with a dual booting issue?
[06:11] <acerimmer> Marmaduke: state it
[06:11] <Marmaduke> I installed ubuntu on one harddrive, and windows 7 on another but windows 7 automaticaly runs on startup. I want to be able to chose the OS I want at startup.  I installed windows 7 second.
[06:12] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: it's possibly been specified in /etc/apt/apt.conf
[06:12] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, something that apt-get update somewhat being rerouted to <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:12] <arand> Marmaduke: You need to reinstate grub mbr
[06:12] <Marmaduke> how do I do that?
[06:12] <arand> !grub2 | Marmaduke
[06:12] <chut> hi people, i have a question, is there a way to make it from the terminal when i just type the name of the app and it always open with nohup?
[06:12] <phoenix_srv> mae_tae: or, it may be in your ~/.bashrc file, as a line like this: export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/
[06:12] <arand> Marmaduke: wiki page has a guide for "reinstalling grub"
[06:13] <greezmunkey> crazy6: try to remove the rpm2cpio package, the apt-get clean
[06:13] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, aside from apt.conf, what file might be involve, ok ill look at it
[06:13] <greezmunkey> then apt-get clean, sorry
[06:13] <Asa-Thor> Hi guys. I'm having an issue with full screen.
[06:13] <chut> anyone?
[06:13] <Marmaduke> Ok I'll try that thanks guys
[06:14] <greezmunkey> crazy6: let me guess, you don't keep a log of installs, changes, etc to your puter...
[06:14] <AbuMaia> chut: it doesn't already do that?
[06:14] <kifo> A while ago i had used a command that printed detailed info on mouse/keyboard input to stdout, anyone know what im talking about?
[06:14] <chut> yeah nope
[06:15] <mae_tae> phoenix_srv, where can i find that bashrc
[06:15] <chut> we have to type nohup programname right
[06:15] <MurielGodoi> Hi guys,  any mencoder expert to help me to convert m2ts file to avi/h.264 file?
[06:15] <chut> so i dont want to type nohup
[06:15] <chut> is it possible?
[06:15] <AbuMaia> what is nohup?
[06:15] <greezmunkey> no HangUP
[06:15] <chut> it's a run a command immune to hangups, with output to a non-tty
[06:15] <phoenix_srv> in your home folder
[06:16] <phoenix_srv> so if you typed the following, mae_tae, it would show you the contents of it:
[06:16] <phoenix_srv> cat ~/.bashrc
[06:16] <crazy6> sigh, ok, giving up, will just reinstall
[06:16] <thebruce> YAY for fresh installations of Lucid!
[06:16] <Omen20> 10.04 has screwed up mounting. It flips my partitions between sdb and sda every boot. So the partition will be sdb1 and then after a reboot it will be sda1.
[06:16] <greezmunkey> chut: you could write a simple shell script to start the program that way, maybe even an alias...
[06:16] <AbuMaia> hm, I hadn't heard of that.  if I want to run gedit, I just type gedit.  if I want mplayer, just type mplayer.  it always works fine
[06:17] <chut> oh, so it's possible?
[06:17] <thebruce> can anyone guide me in the right direction of setting up my swap partition
[06:17] <greezmunkey> chut: I don't know why not. If you can type it at a terminal it can be automated.
[06:17] <acerimmer> thebruce: during install or post install?
[06:17] <chut> oh, so i just need to grab the input right
[06:18] <thebruce> acerimmer, postinstall now
[06:18] <thebruce> my swap is located at /dev/sdb2
[06:18] <greezmunkey> chut: what exactly are you doing?
[06:18] <thebruce> if i try mkswapon /dev/sdb2 says drive is busy
[06:18] <chut> i'm trying to run all my programs from the terminal with nohup command
[06:18] <chut> but i dont want to type nohup
[06:18] <chut> lolz
[06:19] <red2kic> chut: Use Gnome-Do or something. :3
[06:19] <thebruce> df -h doesn't show my swap partition, but i know i made one. b/c one of my partitons shows up as sdb3
[06:19] <Sereph> compiz says it cannot find any animation plugin for 'extra animations' how can i get it?
[06:19] <thebruce> !compiz
[06:19] <red2kic> chut: ALT+F2 and type in there. :(
[06:19] <AbuMaia> so if I type nohup gedit, it will open gedit as normal, but I can then close terminal and it won't kill gedit?
[06:19] <acerimmer> thebruce: adding more swap @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How%20do%20I%20add%20more%20swap?
[06:19] <chut> oh
[06:19] <chut> i dont use gnome :D
[06:20] <red2kic> AbuMaia: Try it.
[06:20] <MurielGodoi> hi guys... someone could help me to convert a m2ts file to a avi(h.264) file? I got no success here.
[06:20] <hornets> what happened to gnome-terminal transparecy on Lucid? bug?
[06:20] <hornets> it's not working here
[06:20] <xangua> chut: gnome do can be used in any desktop
[06:20] <AbuMaia> red2kic: I usually like to know what a command does before trying it ^_^
[06:20] <greezmunkey> chut: so shell: #!/bin/sh nohup {command}, chmod +x command, ect...
[06:21] <xangua> chut: kde has also a good default launcher i believe and you can install others
[06:21] <red2kic> chut: Terminals are often used to run non-interactive programs.  Keep that in mind. :)
[06:21] <Ferb> is there any way to simulate webcam??
[06:22] <chut> oh
[06:22] <chut> thanks guys
[06:22] <chut> :D
[06:22] <red2kic> chut: s/programs/commands
[06:23] <greezmunkey> chut: are you command line only?
[06:23] <chut> yeah
[06:23] <chut> i am
[06:23] <greezmunkey> chut: you could probably use screen to do that as well
[06:23] <chut> okidokia__, i use irssi on screen
[06:23] <soreau> What package(s) do I need to install to play wave files?
[06:24] <almoxarife> anyone else having issues with chromium, mine hangs trying to get into the 'extensions' page, everytime
[06:24] <soreau> i just use totem
[06:25] <xangua> soreau: have you installed restricted-extras¿
[06:25] <greezmunkey> chut: here's a line from .screenrc: screen -t SYSLOG 3 tail -f /var/log/syslog, could also be screen -t SYSLOG 3 nohup tail -f /var/log/syslog as well
[06:26] <chut> oh :) thanks greezmunkey
[06:26] <greezmunkey> I thank the channel for clue-ing me in on screen :)
[06:27] <twiztid> anyone know how i would begin to appropriate the open-gl cario dock for lucid? it just flickers and doesnt draw... i have a radeon graphic card and amd2ghz
[06:28] <BladeNBrocade> any one having crazy issues with indicator applet? mines wont start most of the programs in the menu.. not sure where the errors are getting logged,.. or if its some other component failing
[06:29] <cdw32> Hello all	! I recently install 10.04 like most of you and ihave been having a problem with my graphics card. Any thoughs?
[06:30] <greezmunkey> cdw32: details pls when asking
[06:30] <BladeNBrocade> is there any information somewhere on ubuntu site in regards to indicator applet having issues opening programs?
[06:30] <cdw32> greezmunkey: well my videos are very choppy and the audio and visual tracks do not match up
[06:31] <mewie> Okay, so I've got Windows XP and, as of about an hour ago, Ubuntu on my machine.  I've got a wireless adapter which I need to connect to the internet, but apparently the driver's only compatible with Windows.  So how do I connect Ubuntu?
[06:31] <cdw32> greezmunkey: and and the visual reactions are not fluid. if that makes sense
[06:31] <Scouris> BladeNBrocade, can you open the programs manually (ie. through the standard menu)?
[06:31] <jimtuv> I have a nvidia fx5200 graphic card and am having no plymouth animations on bootup. Card is working and acceleration. just no animation
[06:31] <BladeNBrocade> yes i can
[06:31] <acerimmer> mewie: google the specific manufacturer and model  to see if there's s driver available
[06:31] <greezmunkey> cdw32: what hardware, using compiz, did it work before your upgrade, etc.
[06:32] <BladeNBrocade> Scouris: yes i can
[06:32] <cdw32> greezmunkey: i know its from intel on a dell mini 12 and yes it did. my buddy thinks its the driver...
[06:33] <cdw32> greezmunkey: i ran the lspci in terminal and it didnt give me anyything i understood
[06:33] <greezmunkey> cdw32: probably, try in a terminal: lspci | grep VGA
[06:33] <greezmunkey> cdw32:  what do you get?
[06:34] <phoenix_srv> hey guys, question; i've had ubuntu 9.10, and recently updated to ubuntu 10.04, but it went straight to low graphics mode. So i downloaded the latest nvidia driver and attempted to install it in recovery mode. It gave me an error about being unable to unload nvidia.ko, so I've basically pasted a few things about my PCI devices, nvidia installer logs, loaded modules, etc., so if someone could point some light on the issue, that'd be great. pasted here http
[06:34] <BladeNBrocade> Scouris: it works correctly on my laptop where the main difference is 64 bit vs 32 laptop being the 64 bit...
[06:34] <cdw32> greezmunkey: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 06)
[06:35] <senthil> I'm having trouble with Virtual Box...something to do with Kernel headers. Help please?
[06:35] <legend2440> is there anything i can do about lucid's fsck disk integrity checks being very slow compared to how karmic was
[06:35] <aplund> I've got an issue with the plymouth startup screen.  It is just blank except for the console cursor.  Removing "quiet" but keeping "splash" spews out kernel messages.  The splash screen works on shutdown.  Is there any way to debug this kind of issue?
[06:35] <jimtuv> phoenix_srv I saw a post about that somewhere.
[06:35] <Scouris> BladeNBrocade, I can't see the issue reported elsewhere. Is anything reported in the system logs?
[06:35] <moonfish> Good day! :-)
[06:35] <moonfish> Windows-users can explore shared folders on system drive, but do not have access to shared folder on mounted ext4 (or NTFS)drive. Please, help!
[06:36] <tsyj2007> hi ,everyone
[06:36] <indus> hi
[06:36] <unsure> hi
[06:36] <red2kic> hi
[06:36] <indus> !share
[06:36] <renegaide> since installing nvidia drivers I get an huge ubuntu splash screen and sound is cracky in 10.04
[06:36] <indus> renegaide, huge ?
[06:36] <BladeNBrocade> Scouris: not a peep
[06:37] <tsyj2007> i am using kubuntu10.04
[06:37] <unsure> yes?
[06:37] <jimtuv> phoenix_srv here it is maybe it will help http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[06:37] <indus> renegaide, huge as in ?
[06:37] <cdw32> my sound is good just the vid sux
[06:37] <renegaide> yes an oversized ubuntu logo
[06:38] <indus> renegaide, yeah i hear its some bug , try changing resolution
[06:38] <hornets> i get this cracky logo too
[06:38] <moonfish> Windows-users can explore shared folders on system drive, but do not have access to shared folder on mounted ext4 (or NTFS) drive. Please, help!
[06:38] <indus> renegaide, sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[06:38] <cdw32> greezmunkey: i checked the intel website and they do not have linux drivers
[06:38] <senthil> Can anyone tell me how to update kernel headers?
[06:38] <indus> moonfish, hi
[06:39] <greezmunkey> cdw32: that's ok. Look in System>Admin...>Harware Drivers - see what's there
[06:39] <SoNick> senthil: I'd start with sudo apt-get install and check what the package for the latest headers is
[06:39] <indus> moonfish, windows user needs to access a shared ubuntu folder?
[06:39] <SoNick> Er... reverse those two
[06:39] <cdw32> greezmunkey: just wireless driver
[06:39] <senthil> SoNick: I downloaded latest one to fix problem with Fn keys
[06:39] <senthil> But that seems to have broken my virtual box
[06:41] <SoNick> Some googling tells me that the best solution [and most common one so far] is to use sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[06:42] <senthil> Yea tried that

[06:42] <jimtuv> Re-installation of virtual box should get it working. I did the same thing and it was
[06:42] <greezmunkey> cdw32: hmm What Dell do you have?
[06:42] <senthil> SoNick: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.34-020634rc6-generic
[06:42] <jimtuv> just a matter of letting it recompile the headers
[06:42] <senthil> jimtuv: Tried that also
[06:43] <cdw32> greezmunkey: inspiron 1210
[06:43] <senthil> jimtuv: Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel.
[06:43] <renegaide> when I change my audio to 5.1 it sounds really bad
[06:43] <greezmunkey> cdw32: oh, laptop!
[06:44] <cdw32> greezmunkey: lol
[06:44] <SoNick> Hm... try sudo apt-get update ? If that gives an error then apt-get probably can't access the internet
[06:44] <SIGTERMer> hi. is there a way do attach a forked process to init in c?
[06:44] <senthil> SoNick: Tried that when you first said, it said No packages need updating

[06:46] <SoNick> senthil: Hm... maybe your sources list is off, then? I'm about out of ideas here.
[06:47] <senthil> abhijain: I don't think you can use YM, you can connect to yahoo via others
[06:47] <cdw32> greezmunkey: i have no clue what to do anymore
[06:47] <senthil> SoNick: I haven't changed anything...how do I bring them up to date?

[06:49] <greezmunkey> cdw32: you said that videos flicker, right?

[06:51] <greezmunkey> cdw32: oh, your entire screen is doing this?
[06:51] <senthil> In that case you should be fine
[06:51] <cdw32> senthil: or a kernal
[06:51] <cdw32> greezmunkey: no
[06:51] <greezmunkey> cdw32: what about everything else? Okay, or not - if yes what videos, youtube?

[06:52] <twiztid> the open gl version of the cario dock isnt drawing right in lucid, yet i run compiz smoothly, flash smoothly, etc
[06:52] <xangua> optimus_t:  1.- updating to lucid or 2.- manually compiling the program and any dependencie it needs :S
[06:52] <hnd> can we fetch the vnode of a file, modify it and restore the modified version??? conditions being am not a root user
[06:52] <cdw32> greezmunkeyjust the videos and the screensaver, youtube, hulu
[06:53] <cdw32> senthil: how do you upgrade a kernal
[06:53] <twiztid> ive been allll over the net tryin to see if anyone else has been havin problems with opengl
[06:53] <greezmunkey> cdw32: ah, did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[06:53] <jimtuv> senthil try here http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc3-lucid/
[06:53] <hnd> can we fetch the vnode of a file, modify it and restore the modified version??? conditions being am not a root user
[06:53] <cdw32> greezmunkey: how would one do that
[06:53] <acerimmer> greezmunkey: sudo apt-get-install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:54] <theadmin> What will happen if I "chmod 000 ~/.local/share/Trash"?
[06:54] <hnd> theadmin: try it and see ;)
[06:54] <kungfuman> if i try to install k3b from add/remove then this output:Cannot install 'k3b'
[06:54] <kungfuman> This application conflicts with other installed software. To install 'k3b' the conflicting software must be removed first.
[06:54] <kungfuman> Switch to the 'synaptic' package manager to resolve this conflict.
[06:54] <greezmunkey> cdw32: I'm not saying it will fix your issue, but sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:54] <arand> ls
[06:54] <greezmunkey> acerimmer: :)
[06:54] <xangua> kungfuman: then open Synaptic ans indtall it from there
[06:54] <theadmin> hnd: Just wanna make sure I put nothing to trash %) Tired of accidentally using "Move to trash" instead of "Permanently delete" and then having to clean it
[06:54] <senthil> jimtuv: I installed v2.6.34-rc3-lucid and virtual box broke
[06:55] <hnd> theadmin: lol
[06:55] <kungfuman> and if i try from terminal then this: Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
[06:55] <kungfuman> the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
[06:55] <kungfuman> that package should be filed.
[06:55] <kungfuman> The following information may help to resolve the situation:

[06:56] <theadmin> acerimmer: Call freeman!
[06:56] <theadmin> lol
[06:56] <acerimmer> theadmin: gotto go clean my crowbar.  G'nite all.
[06:56] <xangua> kungfuman: have you tried from Synaptic¿
[06:56] <xangua> senthil: better to use the version incluided in teh repositories
[06:56] <theadmin> acerimmer: sed 's/cascade failure/resonance cascade/', though
[06:58] <cdw32> greezmunkey: it said that it couldnt find the package
[06:58] <senthil> jimtuv: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: linux-headers-2.6.34-020634rc3
[06:58] <theadmin> cdw32: What package are you looking for
[06:58] <kungfuman> xangua, yes i tried but problem there also
[06:58] <mae_tae> SIOCADDRT: File exists   <--- whats the cause of this? and how will i resolve this?
[06:58] <senthil> xangua: I can't seem to find the version in repo for some other reason

[06:59] <kungfuman> problem: k3b:

[06:59] <AnakinSkywhopper> HI.
[06:59] <greezmunkey> cdw32: should be: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras - that should have worked
[06:59] <theadmin> cdw32: It's there o-O Do you have the Multiverse repo enabled?
[07:00] <cdw32> greezmunkey: no it did i tried three times.
[07:00] <cdw32> theadmin: what is that
[07:01] <theadmin> cdw32: Does "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep 'multiverse'" return anything?
[07:02] <greezmunkey> theadmin: good call...
[07:03] <jimtuv> senthil did you try sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[07:03] <cdw32> greezmunkey: this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/428094/
[07:03] <twiztid> would anyone be able to help with configuring the opengl cario dock on a ati card?
[07:03] <senthil> jimtuv: yes - Makefile:152: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel. Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop.
[07:03] <jimtuv> wow would have thought that would work
[07:04] <apstanto> I'm installing 10.04, and its frozen on 0% while "Resizing partition...".  The hard drive light is stuck on solid, and the cd drive accesses briefly only once in a while.  Its been like this for 15min.  What should I do?
[07:04] <greezmunkey> theadmin: check out his post, top line(s)
[07:04] <senthil> Yea me too. Happened to me several times before, but never gave this trouble
[07:04] <kungfuman> how is the "burn" and "wodim" tool for burning cd and dvd?
[07:04] <theadmin> greezmunkey: Looks right for me okay... uh. Do a "sudo apt-get update"
[07:05] <cdw32> theadmin: greezmunkey; in progress
[07:05] <theadmin> apstanto: Is it a RAID hard drive?
[07:05] <cdw32> theadmin: complete
[07:05] <theadmin> cdw32: Now try installing again
[07:06] <apstanto> No.  I want to dual boot. It has windows vista on it already.
[07:06] <cdw32> theadmin: package could not be found
[07:06] <theadmin> apstanto: *AH*! It might fail to resize because disk is too fragmented, defrag it in windows
[07:06] <ynk> good evening, guys.
[07:07] <apstanto> Ok. but what should I do while its frozen?
[07:08] <greezmunkey> cdw32: looks like you need this one: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid main universe restricted multiverse
[07:08] <skarri> hello
[07:08] <cdw32> greezmunkey:
[07:08] <EruditeHermit> hey, does anyone know how to make the click zone on a HP clickpad bigger?
[07:08] <ynk> i'm trying to install Pidgin and getting the error, "You must have GLib 2.4.0 or newer development headers installed to build. If you have these installed already you may need to install pkg-config so I can find them."
[07:08] <theadmin> hm. I have a weird problem here, Update manager icon is still there after installing updates
[07:08] <skarri> I was wondering if anyone knew how to turn off tap to click in xubuntu?
[07:08] <ynk> i tried installing the "pkg-config" package but it says i already have it.
[07:09] <cdw32> greezmunkey: i did it second time and its working should i still do what you just sent
[07:09] <indus> ynk, which version of ubuntu are you using
[07:09] <xangua> ynk: to build¿¿ you can install pidgin frrom the repositories
[07:09] <ynk> i'm using Karmic
[07:09] <greezmunkey> cdw32: no
[07:09] <cdw32> ok
[07:09] <apstanto> theadmin: what should I do while its frozen?
[07:09] <skarri> I cannot find it under the mouse settings, and my xorg.conf is pretty much empty
[07:09] <theadmin> ynk: See instructions on downloading on www.pidgin.im
[07:09] <theadmin> apstanto: Don't think you can really do much, dunno
[07:09] <xangua> ynk: sudo aptitude install pidgin
[07:10] <theadmin> xangua: nope. Pidgin package in Karmic repos is broken
[07:10] <ynk> theadmin:  hmm. i was trying to use "./configure" to install it
[07:10] <ynk> xangua: i will try your method.
[07:10] <skarri> also, I use an hp pavilion tx2500
[07:10] <greezmunkey> cdw32: did you buy your pc from dell?
[07:10] <xangua> theadmin: if they were then how could i be here¿¿, using pidgin as irc client
[07:10] <cdw32> greezmunkey: yes i did
[07:10] <san> guyz it will be soo great if anyone of you help me
[07:10] <ynk> theadmin xangua: hopefully, i get the latest version because i'm running Karmic.
[07:10] <theadmin> xangua: I dunno, it was broken for me
[07:11] <ynk> i'm going to use the repository.
[07:11] <apstanto> Should I hold down the power button?
[07:11] <marupa> Hi all, is there a way to, from command line, kill any other sound daemons and pump audio directly from a single (and only one) program?
[07:11] <theadmin> ynk: You need to add their repository the get the latest (as said, instructions on their site)
[07:11] <ynk> theadmin: thanks, buddy. i'll go back and read the instructions.
[07:11] <san> guyz first i installed karmic then xp so my grub went then through live cd i repaired grub but now in grub xp is not loading it says no such file system
[07:11] <theadmin> apstanto: Dunno, try Alt+SysRQ and type "REISUB"
[07:11] <greezmunkey> cdw32: maybe you can contact them regarding your video issue as well. I think Dell sells PCs with ubuntu installed - I could be wrong.
[07:11] <san> please anyone of you help me
[07:12] <san> or else i will have to format and install both OS again
[07:12] <darolu> !anyone | san
[07:12] <theadmin> darolu: He asked his question
[07:12] <cdw32> greezmunkey: yes they sold this to me with ubuntu 8.04 on it....
[07:12] <san> another thing is that i dont have xp boot cd
[07:12] <darolu> theadmin: oh I see, sry :) !patience? :p
[07:12] <theadmin> darolu: :D
[07:12] <xangua> san you did wrong, firs one installs windows and then any other OS, remember that next time
[07:12] <darolu> san: what grub version do you have?
[07:13] <skarri> any ideas folks?
[07:13] <cdw32> greezmunkey: the restricted extras might help right
[07:13] <Nhawdge|work> Hey all, I'm having some trouble getting 8.04 LTS server to upgrade to 10.04 it refuses to acknowledge that their is a new release available
[07:13] <darolu> skarri: if you know how to do it via xorg.conf file, you can create it; I know you can do it with that file
[07:13] <san> xangua: ya i know that dear but i needed ubuntu very desperatly and i dint had xp cd that time thats y
[07:13] <san> darolu: 1
[07:13] <greezmunkey> cdw32: Dells page doesn't mention Linux/Ubuntu anywhere?
[07:13] <skarri> haven't messed with xorg.conf in ages
[07:13] <marupa> Sorry about that...glitchy.  Anyone?
[07:13] <senthil> Is anyone having trouble with gedit running amok on processing power?
[07:14] <twiztid> how would i go about updateing to glx version 1.3? cause cario dock is toggleing indirect rendering...
[07:14] <skarri> and I'm trying to avoid that
[07:14] <cdw32> greezmunkey: ubuntu.dell.com
[07:14] <san> darolu: i repaired grub through live cd as said in forum then came in ubuntu and sudo apt-get install grub
[07:14] <cdw32> greezmunkey: they sold it to me like this and i think they are kicking themselves for it
[07:14] <san> in grub it shows last option as xp but throws an error no such file system
[07:14] <skarri> darolu: I don't even know how to begin writing the setting for my trackpad
[07:14] <darolu> san: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab and menu.lst files? that way we will have a better idea of what's wrong
[07:14] <greezmunkey> cdw32: heh :)
[07:15] <jimtuv> senthil it could be that your grub didnot update correctly and is not reflecting the right kernel. check uname -r and see what it gives you
[07:15] <theadmin> darolu: fstab is not responsible for GRUB stuff, menu.lst is deprecated.
[07:15] <cdw32> greezmunkey: and dell dose not have any support with ubuntu you have to to call cononical
[07:15] <senthil> jimtuv: 2.6.34-020634rc6-generic
[07:16] <cdw32> andi refuse to pat
[07:16] <cdw32> pay
[07:16] <darolu> san: my bad fstab won't help but the output of "sudo fdisk -l"
[07:16] <charley_> hello, I'm wondering how if I could add my uni apt-proxy to my sources.list
[07:16] <greezmunkey> cdw32: fair enough
[07:16] <san> darolu: sad there is no file or folder in etc named fstab
[07:16] <jetole> Hey guys. I am setting up or, well changing my preseed on a server and one item I just changed is that hostname is assigned via dhcp however the installer is still asking me to set the hostname. It shows the dhcp assigned hostname by default but how can I make it auto use this hostname without asking me about it?
[07:16] <charley_> oh,http://mirror.cse.unsw.edu.au/lib/debian-sources.list by the way itsays, I think it says hardy only
[07:16] <charley_> so I'm wondering if it'll work, I'm using Feisty I think
[07:16] <cdw32> greezmunkey: i dont know
[07:16] <twiztid> this is what i got when trying to open glx cairo dock (opengl version) http://pastebin.com/tkXzAEQT
[07:16] <darolu> theadmin: yeah I just re-read what I said XD now I'm thinking he may have installed grub2 with the apt-get install grub
[07:17] <san> darolu: ya i know that commands shows all drives my linux drive is in sda8
[07:17] <darolu> san: there must be one, but nevermind; you said you have grub legacy right?
[07:17] <cdw32> greezmunkey: once this is done the extras is there anything i need to do
[07:17] <greezmunkey> cdw32: the restricted extras will provide the codecs and what not that ubuntu can't legally package into their OS - some legal thing, go figure. I think I read somewhere that Mint includes them though.
[07:17] <san> darolu: legacy?
[07:17] <darolu> san: legacy = 1
[07:18] <cdw32> greezmunkey: mint
[07:18] <senthil> jimtuv: I could've swore I just installed the new kernel, but it isn't updating
[07:18] <san> darolu: extremely sorry  i dont know what it is
[07:18] <greezmunkey> cdw32: no you shouldn't have to restart. Mint / ubuntu derivitive(?)
[07:18] <greezmunkey> cdw32: I don't mint...
[07:19] <darolu> san: uhmmm you said "1", nevermind, did you install karmic or upgraded from jaunty?
[07:19] <theadmin> Mint is meh. And we don't support it here anyway.
[07:19] <san> darolu: karmix fresh install through boot cd
[07:19] <cdw32> greezmunkey: i have no clue what is it
[07:19] <greezmunkey> cdw32: I have heard about issues with flash a lot here lately, that's why I asked what videos you were having issues with.
[07:19] <darolu> san: ok so you have grub 2, run "sudo update-grub" it should add your windows entry to the grub
[07:19] <wildbat> san, do this for us to help you, pastebin those : sudo fisk -l , your grub error msg, your grub.cfg
[07:20] <san> darolu: actually my both os were working find but then virus came in xp so i had to reinstall it so grub vanished then when i repaired through live cd  xp doesnt work
[07:20] <cdw32> greezmunkey: all of them
[07:20] <cdw32> streaming,
[07:20] <cdw32> internet
[07:21] <cdw32> and tohers
[07:21] <san> darolu: updated
[07:21] <darolu> san: I see, try running "sudo update-grub" see if it prints your windows entry
[07:21] <Jordan_U> san: That's normal, grub was previously searching for your old XP install (its filesystem UUID specifically), if you run "sudo update-grub" it will look for the new XP install.
[07:22] <san> darolu: nope it doesnt
[07:22] <twiztid> this is what i got when trying to open glx cairo dock (opengl version) http://pastebin.com/tkXzAEQT  any ideas on what to do next???
[07:22] <san> sorry to ask but where is grub.cfg located?
[07:22] <Jordan_U> san: /boot/grub/
[07:22] <cdw32> greezmunkey: so i may never have good vid again
[07:23] <theadmin> Grah, help me. VLC keeps freezing videos (while audio keeps playing), it's impossible to watch anything :'(
[07:23] <darolu> san: lets make see what is in your grub.cfg in your terminal run "grep menuentry /boot/grub/grub.cfg" (no quotes)
[07:23] <san> well its a big file how to i upload it here?
[07:23] <san> menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-21-generic" {
[07:23] <san> menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-21-generic (recovery mode)" {
[07:23] <san> menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic" {
[07:23] <san> menuentry "Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode)" {
[07:23] <san> menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+)" {
[07:23] <san> menuentry "Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)" {
[07:23] <FloodBot1> san: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:24] <xsj> my nvidia 9600GSO can not work!
[07:24] <rizzuh> How do I change the root password in US 10.04?
[07:24] <greezmunkey> cdw32: not true, you just need to keep at it. There are several layers that have to work together for your video to be solid. You may have to addess each of them - don't know.
[07:24] <theadmin> rizzuh: There is NO root password.
[07:24] <darolu> rizzuh: you don't need it; use sudo
[07:24] <SoNick> rizuh: Use pwd to set one, if you want to enable root..?
[07:24] <san> darolu: i think grub has not located where xp is
