[22:16] <freezway> Yesterday I tried to compile my kernel. To make a long story short, my graphics drivers got messed up. So I did a reinstall, completely wiping the drive, and I STILL can't get my native resolution. (1920x1080) and am stuck at 1360x768... HELP. I am using the 195 nvidia driver. Before this all happened I had the native resolution.
[22:16] <Daniel> If I am to dualboot XP and ubuntu, is it true that I need 3 partitions, one with XP, one with grub(?) and one for Ubuntu itself?
[22:16] <Ken8521> Daniel, no
[22:16] <acerimmer_> daniel: absolutely NO
[22:17] <kop> mrAZ, dhclient eth0 ? AND is it possible that the lease it's asking for from cache is being used elsewhere
[22:17] <howlymowly> brontosaurusrex: it says "missing plugin" in my chrome browser on the page I just gave you..
[22:17] <Ken8521> Daniel, the installer will walk you through partitioning.. a normal installer, is 1. for XP, 1 for swap(about 2gigs usually) and htne your main ubuntu partition
[22:17] <Daniel> Where do the grub-thingy go?
[22:17] <greezmunkey> mrAZ: sift through kern.log and or syslog to see if there is a reason for it???
[22:17] <Ken8521> Daniel, it gets installed to the master boot record of the drive.
[22:18] <acerimmer_> Ken8521: grub goes to the MBR
[22:18] <arand> Daniel: On the same partition as ubuntu and to the mbr
[22:18] <Ken8521> acerimmer_, that's what i said.
[22:18] <Daniel> Is it at all possible to do through VPN?
[22:18] <kop> Daniel, despite the warning it goes on the mbr
[22:18] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: hello. how are you today? btw, who won the game?
[22:18] <christopher> hyi
[22:18] <brontosaurusrex> howlymowly: yeah, same here
[22:18] <Ken8521> Daniel, through VPN?.. i doubt it, but i guess it's possible.

[22:19] <howlymowly> hmm. brontosaurusrex so.. its not working on yours, either...  thats not good...
[22:19] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: roger, nice :)
[22:19] <christopher> how do you create an xorg.conf in xubuntu 10.4?
[22:19] <arand> christopher: Unless you want manuall settings, yes
[22:19] <freezway> YES YES I KNOW.... i had the wrong thing highlighted when i middleclicked
[22:19] <christopher> yes I do want manual settibgs
[22:19] <christopher> how do you bring it back ?
[22:19] <arand> christopher: Also, proprietary video drivers tend to make use of a custom xorg.conf
[22:20] <Daniel> Ken > Is there any way to pre-configure the ubuntu install, so it runs "silent", predefined IP aso?
[22:20] <christopher> its a standard intel card
[22:20] <kop> christopher, I've had to annotate or even create xorg.conf several times to get native res
[22:20] <Ken8521> Chris___, well, you can copy it over from a 9.10 install if you had one backed up from there.
[22:20] <greezmunkey> christopher: sudo Xorg -configure - then sudo mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:20] <christopher> ok thanks
[22:20] <mrAZ> greezmunkey: i have there eth0: no "IPv6 routers present" messages, i tried rmmod and modprobe  forcrdeth  driver again, no luck
[22:21] <greezmunkey> mrAZ: what is eth0 connected to?
[22:22] <mrAZ> interesting msg is from NETDEV WATCHDOG: "Got tx_timeout. irq: 00000020
[22:22] <greezmunkey> mrAZ: that was in syslog?
[22:22] <howlymowly> brontosaurusrex: have you installed the "mozplugger-plugin"?
[22:22] <mrAZ> in kern.log
[22:23] <kop> anyone having trouble with the gnome-panel shutdown button not sending/invoking/ "proper" shutdown scripts resulting in "unclean shutdown" messages on next boot ?
[22:23] <bsmith093> is there a way to use md5sum in the terminal to check a file by copying and pasteing what it should be
[22:23] <bricky> whever I alt tab or win+tab, after I select a window, all of them pop up anyway ;)
[22:24] <magik> Anyone know any humor IRC chats with a lot of people in? Sorry that it's off topic.
[22:24] <LjL> !channels > magik    (magik, see the private message from ubottu)
[22:24] <howlymowly> brontosaurusrex: btw:  i just found the place where chrome lists its "recognized" plugins:   its "chrome://plugins"  when you put that into the adress bar
[22:24] <christopher> hi
[22:24] <LjL> bsmith093: uh, can't you just use md5sum filename and then compare visually?
[22:24] <christopher> where will the xorg.conf.new file be created by default?
[22:24] <greezmunkey> christopher: your home directory
[22:25] <christopher> thanks
[22:25] <bsmith093> well yeah but id rather have a check
[22:25] <brontosaurusrex> howlymowly: that url got me error as well, so my chrome must be seriously ill
[22:25] <greezmunkey> christopher: thus ~/xorg.conf.net ...
[22:25] <robin___> I need help with WINE.
[22:25] <howlymowly> brontosaurusrex: I got the solution!!
[22:25] <robin___> I'm trying to make the font look better because my Microsoft Office contains a horrible look.
[22:25] <onetinsoldier> bsmith093: not sure what your looking for there... are you wanting to check on a file installed by a package?
[22:25] <howlymowly> brontosaurusrex:  I removed my mozplugger plugin
[22:25] <howlymowly> and now everything works...
[22:26] <Slart> robin___: there's a wine channel you can try if you don't get any answers here.. #winehq
[22:26] <robin___> I installed Winetricks but it didn't do anything.
[22:26] <robin___> Ah. Thanks.
[22:26] <howlymowly> brontosaurusrex:  i mean i did sudo aptitude remove mozplugger
[22:26] <brontosaurusrex> howlymowly: cool
[22:26] <bricky> wow water effects are KEWL
[22:26] <Chuck27> I'm trying to put on a playstion eumaltor

[22:27] <Slart> kop: not recently, no.. had that problem with some earlier versions of ubuntu.. I'm not sure what can be done about it.. tried booting with noacpi?
[22:27] <bricky> how did I do that, :P
[22:27] <christopher> file:///home/christopher/xorg2.conf
[22:27] <christopher> i mean
[22:27] <christopher> mv: cannot move `/home/christopher/xorg2.conf' to `.etc/X11/xorg.conf': No such file or directory
[22:28] <onetinsoldier> bsmith093: not sure what your looking for there. are you wanting to check on a file installed by a package?

[22:28] <GuyCanada> hey so im trying to install on a new box, all i have is a wireless keyboard i cant even get past the boot any advice?
[22:28] <christopher> trying to recreate xorg.conf
[22:28] <christopher> in xubuntu 10.4
[22:28] <GuyCanada>  i get to the screen to choose to boot into windows or my cd and i cant select because the keyboard doesnt register
[22:28] <kop> Slart, it doesn't seem to be the boot options but what the button calls on shutdown , 10.04 changed just enough that can't seem to track it
[22:28] <bricky> Dizkonnected: :D
[22:29] <Slart> kop: you get the same result if you run "shutdown -h now" from a terminal?
[22:29] <bsmith093> if i copy paste in what the md5 should be and then a filename will that tell me if the file checks out?
[22:29] <gogeta> GuyCanada: maybe chnage the boot order from the bios
[22:29] <christopher> any ideas why I cant copy it into the X11?
[22:29] <GuyCanada> how would i go about that
[22:29] <greezmunkey> christopher: sudo mv ~/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:29] <gogeta> GuyCanada: go to your bios they all very but you will find it
[22:29] <bricky> kizkonnekted: how do I  make it follow my mouse
[22:29] <ahmed> hello
[22:29] <kop> Slart, "shutdown -h now" from a terminal works fine

[22:31] <christopher> any ideas?
[22:31] <Slart> magik: tried gnome-look.org ?
[22:31] <LiraNuna> how can I set $TERM to be 'xterm-color' instead of 'xterm' in gnome-terminal?
[22:31] <Dizkonnekted> bricky, if you are asking me its Control and Super key to initiate, you adjust all of these from CCSM (compizconfig setting manager)
[22:31] <jpds> LiraNuna: TERM=xterm-color
[22:31] <christopher> greezmunky?
[22:31] <kop> sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:31] <gogeta> LiraNuna: xterm uses colors if the app has them
[22:32] <LiraNuna> jpds, no, that will be for the current session and is not terminal emulator wise
[22:32] <greezmunkey> christopher: try this: ls -l /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new
[22:32] <kop> or sudo mkdir /etc/X11/
[22:32] <bricky> Dizkonnekted: Thanks Im looking through that :
[22:32] <kop> or , drink beer
[22:32] <LiraNuna> gogeta, .bashrc distinguishes between xterm and xterm-color
[22:32] <jesperv> Hi, I'm looking for at tool so i can see which wireless channels that are in use in my area. Are there any tools like that for ubuntu?
[22:32] <bricky> I cant find where it says how to use them lol
[22:32] <christopher> ls: cannot access /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new: No such file or directory
[22:32] <christopher> ?
[22:33] <christopher> It exists because I can see the file
[22:33] <edbian> jesperv, sudo iwlist scan
[22:33] <edbian> jesperv, Or you can use the little network manager applet
[22:33] <Dizkonnekted> bricky, if you explore the ccsm window you will find all of the effects listed in there
[22:34] <aTypical> Howdy, all.  Does anyone have a good lightscribe label I can have?  I need to burn some discs and want to make them look good.
[22:34] <s1uck3y> I can't read DVDs/CDs
[22:34] <s1uck3y>  I get output in dmesg like: http://paste.debian.net/75610/
[22:34] <duffydack> aTypical, ubuntu have some I believe...
[22:34] <gogeta> aTypical: google is your frend there
[22:34] <christopher> ?
[22:34] <greezmunkey> christopher: I don't know then - something wierd on your system, I guess. If the file exists, you should be able to move it - especially with sudo, unless you've borked something completely.
[22:34] <duffydack> aTypical, I mean the site..
[22:35] <christopher> lol
[22:35] <greezmunkey> christopher: you are on ubuntu right??
[22:35] <christopher> xubuntu
[22:35] <pure_hate> christopher, sudo ls -lah /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new
[22:35] <ubuntu_> Okay, so. I install Ubuntu, ver 10.04, and update it. I walk downstairs to get a drink while it restarts, and when I get back, I get a "kernel panic" error, with "attempted to kill init" as the reason for the panic.
[22:35] <greezmunkey> christopher: this is not a xubuntu support channel, sorry.
[22:35] <ubuntu_> I am sad face. :(
[22:35] <boss_mc> christopher: greezmunkey ls -l /path/to/file will treat file as a directory hence the failure
[22:36] <christopher> sudo ls -lah /home/christopher/xorg.conf.new
[22:36] <gogeta> pure_hate: i think thers a easy way to genrate thew xorg.conf
[22:36] <boss_mc> christopher: try ls -l /home/christopher/xorg.*
[22:36] <pure_hate> gogeta, He only said he coludt ls a file
[22:36] <Slart> greezmunkey: I think this channel supports all variants of ubuntu.. even though there are separate channels.. or?
[22:36] <pure_hate> *couldnt
[22:36] <pure_hate> Xorg -configure to generate a new Xorg

[22:36] <pure_hate> o.0
[22:37] <greezmunkey> boss_mc: I disagree
[22:37] <boss_mc> greezmunkey: how so?
[22:37] <christopher> ok
[22:37] <christopher> a xorg.conf file has appeared in x11
[22:37] <christopher> but its empty
[22:37] <greezmunkey> path to file work just fine, try it on your system.
[22:37] <pure_hate> Im pretty sure xorg is not used any more in ubuntu
[22:37] <christopher> I have the exact code for this laptop from the forums
[22:38] <onetinsoldier> s1uck3y: not sure this is what you need, but you can try it if you want --> sudo ./usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[22:38] <christopher> how can I sudo edit it?
[22:38] <Wabi> hi
[22:38] <gogeta> pure_hate: i beleve thers a way for it to genrate one totaly rdy using the auto detect then you can edit it
[22:38] <Wabi> my programs dont have tray icons anymore
[22:38] <christopher> yeah it isnt
[22:38] <meco> !screenshot
[22:38] <greezmunkey> christopher: did you run the command that you were given earlier - touch etc etc etc?
[22:38] <christopher> yes
[22:38] <runix__> heyas. I'm almost sure that apt-get used to download files in parallel when different hosts where available; in my install, I have 4 different deb sources (ar,br,de,fr.archive.ubuntu.com) but apt downloads only from one of those sources
[22:38] <christopher> then it appeared
[22:38] <boss_mc> greezmunkey: tru dat, I've been using CentOS at work and assumed ubuntu did the same thing
[22:39] <Purpley> Hey guys, is there a really easy to use gui for pvm or any other parallel computing program?
[22:39] <onetinsoldier> s1uck3y: you might need to install  libdvdread4  and  ubuntu-restricted-extras  ..first
[22:39] <Dizkonnekted> Wabi, maybe you removed the notification area or the windowlist from the panel?
[22:39] <greezmunkey> christopher: I was going to ask that guy why he would give you a command that would only create an empty file on your system, but didn't have time.
[22:39] <christopher> well
[22:39] <s1uck3y> libdvdread4 is already installed
[22:39] <christopher> it has helped
[22:39] <christopher> as if i can edit the file
[22:39] <onetinsoldier> s1uck3y: ok, good
[22:39] <christopher> then as far as I know my problems solved
[22:40] <imperfect-> Anyone know of a better xosview?

[22:41] <meco> I have "lost" the menus in the system bar. See http://imagebin.org/99274 . What should I do?
[22:41] <onetinsoldier> imperfect-: don't know then. i still think gkrellm is really nice, and there's a lot of nice themes you can get for it too
[22:42] <imperfect-> onetinsoldier: Nod, i've got a tgz where I wget'd the all of them
[22:42] <onetinsoldier> imperfect-: ahh, roger that :-)
[22:42] <christopher> when I try and save the xorg.conf
[22:42] <duffydack> meco, I think you just wanted to show us your tat and pointy nipple.
[22:42] <christopher> I get the error cannot open file to write?
[22:42] <Wabi> my programs dont have tray icons anymore
[22:43] <duffydack> meco, right click add to panel, menu
[22:43] <christopher> any ideas?
[22:44] <meco> duffydack: No, someone has been messing with this PC and also added that image...
[22:44] <imthenachoman> how do i make it so a user can issue shutdown -h 0 without sudo?
[22:44] <wilber> y need help
[22:45] <wilber> for ubuntu 10.04
[22:45]  * onetinsoldier suddenly President Nixon comes to mind
[22:45] <avg_guy> was wondering if I have a folder full of other folders is there a way to compresses them all in to there own archives at one time?
[22:45] <magik> Whats the conky code to show ip?
[22:45] <beartato> does anyone know how I can verify whether my home directory is encrypted in 10.04? I remember some folders from 9.10 (such as ~/private, ~/.private and and ecryptfs folder or something) which are not present in 10.04 even though I am sure I selected that option during install
[22:45] <Ken8521> avg_guy, you should be able to use archive manager to put them all in a tar file
[22:46] <wilber> spanish
[22:46] <wilber> alguem fala portuges?
[22:46] <avg_guy> Ken8521,  yeah i just dont want to compresses the main folder thou
[22:46] <An_Ony_Moose> For upgrading to 10.04, can I set a different folder for the temporary downloads? I'd only have enough disk space if I deleted the entire /usr folder because the hard drive is so small.
[22:46] <onetinsoldier> !pt | wilber
[22:47] <Ken8521> avg_guy, you don't have to... create a new tar file, and simply add each individual folder that you want in there
[22:47] <An_Ony_Moose> or will I have to boot off a live USB? (this computer has no CD drive)
[22:47] <wilber> #ubuntu-br
[22:48] <pure_hate> avg_guy, A shell script should do it; like: for i in /home/foo do tar -cf blah blah
[22:48] <wilber> #ubuntu-pt
[22:48] <onetinsoldier> wilber:  /join #ubuntu-br

[22:48] <Squideshi> I'm trying to get a batchbuffer dump to diagnose an X freeze, but I'm unclear about the following instructions.

[22:50] <imperfect-> Anyone know why my Nvidia GTX280 doesn't let me do compositing saying the extension is unavailable when I know it is?
[22:50] <SwedeMike> My sound in 10.04 is working perfectly for everything but in mplayer, I have sound when using flash, skype etc, but in mplayer when using pulseaudio, I get no sound. -ao alsa works. Any suggestions on what to do next? It worked until a few days ago (machine upgraded from 9.04->9.10->10.04)
[22:51] <beartato> does anyone know how I can verify whether my home directory is encrypted in 10.04? I remember some folders from 9.10 (such as ~/private, ~/.private and ecryptfs folder or something) which are not present in 10.04 even though I am sure I selected that option during install
[22:51] <christopher> anyone able to help me?
[22:51] <onetinsoldier> christopher: what's the name of this file?
[22:51] <christopher> xorg.conf
[22:52] <onetinsoldier> christopher: paste the output of --> ls -l xorg.conf
[22:52] <christopher> ok
[22:52] <mc__> christopher, try sudo -s and the opening the file, though xorg.conf should not be a problem normally
[22:52] <GuyCanada> changing my boot order doesnt help, for some reason it doesnt want to boot from cd. i have 2 cd slots so im not sure which one is the right one because it only shows one in the boot order
[22:53] <funcqshun> hello, how to turn on terminal command line memory? so that when i press pageup the last remembered similar command shows up?
[22:53] <imperfect-> Anyone, anyone at all?
[22:53] <Purpley> Hey guys, is there a really easy to use gui for pvm or any other parallel computing program?
[22:53] <arimmer> funcqshun: it's already on.  it's arrow up not page up
[22:53] <funcqshun> arimmer i dont mean that, i know that
[22:53] <Ken8521> funcqshun, the "up" arrow should do that w/o you doing anything
[22:53] <ross_> I have been having some problems with youtube, everytime i tried to go full screen, it crashes on me, help please
[22:54] <pure_hate> funcqshun, that should be on by default
[22:54] <pure_hate> unless you are using a vm
[22:54] <christopher> onetinsoldier I pmd you it
[22:54] <christopher> so not to flood
[22:54] <funcqshun> arimmer and others: aroow gives only the last typed in command, it doesnt match similar command
[22:54] <Ken8521> pure_hate, not sure, but i think it even does it w/ a vm.
[22:54] <onetinsoldier> christopher: ok, it should have just been one line of output though
[22:54] <christopher> ok
[22:54] <christopher> it was
[22:54] <pure_hate> Ken8521, It should but there was a vmare bug in vmware 7
[22:54] <Ken8521> funcqshun, so you're not looking for previous commands.. you're looking for like auto complete?
[22:54] <jzacsh> hi, does startup-disk-creator have issues with amd64 iso's??
[22:54] <beartato> ross_, I dunno but that sounds like a browser or flash issue. have you tried upgrading flash or using a different browser?
[22:55] <christopher> -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2561 2010-05-31 22:11 xorg.conf
[22:55] <onetinsoldier> hi its:-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2561 2010-05-31 22:11 xorg.conf
[22:55] <netech> I'm having some trouble getting my WUSB54GC (linksys wireless-g usb) working with 10.04
[22:55] <jzacsh> its not inserting my 64bit ubuntu iso into the dialogue box
[22:55] <funcqshun> for example, i ssh'd in to my server a while back, and now i want to type the first few characters of ssh'ing in again and have it autocomplete it for me with pageup
[22:55] <pure_hate> funcqshun, ahh
[22:55] <ross_> beartato i will try using opera let me check
[22:55] <Ken8521> funcqshun, wellt hat's a lot different than what you asked
[22:55] <jzacsh> !64
[22:55] <onetinsoldier> christopher: ok, paste in the output of --> lsattr xorg.conf
[22:55] <funcqshun> Ken8521: sorry i wasnt clear
[22:55] <Maletor> I can't get the apple wireless bluetooth keyboard to work with Ubuntu 10.4
[22:55] <SwedeMike> funcqshun: ctrl-r
[22:56] <funcqshun> SwedeMike: not its not reverse search i mean
[22:56] <christopher> -----------------e- xorg.conf
[22:56] <Ken8521> funcqshun, but it does have auto complete...
[22:57] <onetinsoldier> christopher: i don't know what wrong. looks all good to me. you should be able to edit as sudo as far as i can tell
[22:57] <christopher> ok
[22:57] <netech> hmm
[22:57] <christopher> It even says at the top of the file warning you are using the root account
[22:58] <ross_> beartato yeah full screen doesn't work
[22:58] <greezmunkey> christopher: How are you logged in
[22:58] <pure_hate> funcqshun, http://dailyburrito.com/blog/mac/commandHistoryLikeMatlab.html
[22:58] <ross_> beartato how do you upgrade the driver for the graphic card
[22:58] <jzacsh> no suggestions? can someone be awesome and download the 64 bit of ubuntu and see if start-up-disk-creator takes it?
[22:58] <christopher> normal gui login
[22:58] <onetinsoldier> christopher: and what editor are you using?
[22:58] <pure_hate> should be able to make that work in linux
[22:58] <christopher> the standard one
[22:58] <christopher> mousepad I think
[22:58] <christopher> yeah mousepad
[22:59] <wieger> hello
[22:59] <Maletor> I can't get the apple wireless bluetooth keyboard to work with Ubuntu 10.4. I have set it up to the point where I enter the 6 digit code and press enter and it says it is successful but then it won't type anything. I have a logitech keyboard and mouse that I am using in the mean time, and I have even tried unplugging that to see if it conflicted but it won't work. Please I need some help here!
[22:59] <ross_> beartato how do you upgrade the driver for the graphic card
[22:59] <onetinsoldier> christopher: perhaps try --> gksu gedit xorg.conf &   ...don't know though really
[22:59] <Maletor> Holy shit it's wokring.
[23:00] <Maletor> Thanks all.
[23:00] <magik> Hey guys. I noticed there is a ping function in the terminal. It currently sends 64 bytes each ping. Is there any way to increase how much bytes it sends?
[23:00] <jzacsh> anybody? a hand with ubuntu 64
[23:00] <gagzilla> I'm getting a bizarre graphics card problem- works ok from live CD but if I install it- it is blank right after grub
[23:00] <Slart> magik: man ping    will tell you.. there's a switch for it.. don't remember the name now
[23:00] <wieger> i have a question about setting up a IRC server in ubuntu server 10.4. As far as i get is that on older versions of ubuntu there where problems with IRC server. Are they still in 10.4 or can i just install a irc server without problems
[23:00] <ross_> how do you upgrade the driver for the graphic card
[23:00] <magik> Slart: Wuts man ping?
[23:00] <Slart> magik: man <command>    works for almost all commands in linux/ubuntu
[23:01] <magik> Slart: I ok
[23:01] <Slart> magik: you write it in the terminal.. it shows you the man-page for "ping".. like a short manual
[23:01] <soyo> brb
[23:01] <wieger> it opens a manual about a command
[23:01] <imperfect-> Anyone at all got an idea how I can get compositing enabled on my rig?
[23:01] <EmilySC> I just installed Lucid on a Asus G72GX laptop and I want to use my speakers with it.  They work, however the internal speaker still is on.  How do I turn it off?
[23:01] <magik> I see it
[23:01] <pure_hate> magik, ping -s packetsize
[23:01] <avg_guy> Ken8521,  when I use archive manager  it would like to make a new archive with all the folder i add to it i wiould like to make one archive per folder all at one time . is this possible ?
[23:02] <magik> pure_hate: Just saw it in the manual. Thanks pure_hate and Slart =]
[23:02] <pure_hate> avg_guy, I told you how to do it
[23:02] <Slart> magik: you're welcome
[23:02] <Ken8521> avg_guy, that question really doesn't make sense.
[23:02] <imperfect-> Are you trying to test path mtu?
[23:02] <magik> Also guys.
[23:02] <avg_guy> oh ok will scroll up
[23:02] <gagzilla> EmilySC, try alsamixer
[23:03] <wieger> i have a question about setting up a IRC server in ubuntu server 10.4. As far as i get is that on older versions of ubuntu there where problems with IRC server. Are they still in 10.4 or can i just install a irc server without problems?
[23:03] <magik> I'm sick of having to open and close the terminal when the $ doesn't show up. Is there something else i can do?
[23:03] <Slart> avg_guy: I don't think file does that.. you could do it with a bash script of some kind though
[23:03] <EmilySC> gagzilla, okie, I'll look for it now :)
[23:03] <Flannel> magik: What do you mean it doesn't show up?
[23:03] <Slart> avg_guy: oops.. "I don't think file roller does that"
[23:03] <magik> well
[23:03] <magik> when i do
[23:03] <magik> man ping i have to close and re open the terminal to enter another command
[23:03] <Renn> Hey - I have a intel x4500HD that got semi-constant screen flicker towards the bottom in 10.04, I don't think the bugs been fixed yet. I think I found the fix but don't know how to apply it
[23:04] <Slart> wieger: I think there are many different irc servers to install.. I seriously doubt there's a general problem that makes irc servers not work in ubuntu
[23:04] <avg_guy> ok thanks all
[23:04] <greezmunkey> magik: hit "q" to close the manual :)
[23:04] <Slart> magik: tried pressing q?
[23:04] <pure_hate> magik, use a better terminal
[23:04] <Slart> magik: "man man" will tell you more about the man command
[23:04] <magik> Ok but what about for ping?
[23:04] <christopher> hi
[23:04] <greezmunkey> man
[23:04] <magik> How do i stop pinging?
[23:04] <wieger> well i tried ircii and i had to install it everytime i shutted down the server
[23:04] <Flannel> magik: ping runs until you stop it, with ctrl-c
[23:04] <Slart> magik: ctrl+c
[23:04] <edbian> magik, ctrl + c
[23:04] <pure_hate> magik, control -c
[23:04] <magik> Cheers
[23:05] <magik> =]
[23:05] <christopher> when I run this command : gksu gedit xorg.conf . It says starting administrative task in the taskbar then nothing happens
[23:05] <christopher> any ideas anyone?
[23:05] <gagzilla> I'm getting the blank display on another machine too! :-/
[23:05] <pure_hate> christopher, use a editor in the terminal like vi or nano
[23:05] <christopher> ok
[23:05] <mistii> ubuntu is way to confusing for me. im gonna uninstall
[23:05] <pure_hate> haha
[23:05] <christopher> how do you save in nano?
[23:05] <edbian> christopher, Is your terminal in /etc/X11 ???
[23:05] <christopher> no
[23:06] <ikonia> mistii: ok
[23:06] <Ken8521> christopher, did you create a xorg?
[23:06] <pure_hate> christopher, f2
[23:06] <christopher> yes
[23:06] <pure_hate> or f3
[23:06] <christopher> but its 0 bytes big
[23:06] <Slart> mistii: there are lots of operating systems out there.. find something you're comfortable with
[23:06] <pure_hate> f2 is exit but will ask you to save
[23:06] <Ken8521> christopher, also, your path is wrong, as someone else noted
[23:06] <mistii> i hate windows. and i wont use apple's os. so i dunno.
[23:06] <greezmunkey> someone told christopher to use touch to create the file!!!
[23:06] <Renn> anyone?
[23:07] <duongthaiha> Hi all I having a problem with the windows in GNOME. Normally, I double click on the header bar and the windows will maximize to full screen. Now it does not work any more. When i double click into it do nothing Also it does not show any error message. I have to click  the max button on the side to maximize it.
[23:07] <Ken8521> mistii, how in the world do you consider ubuntu to hard? what is the problem
[23:07] <mistii> its just so confusing. and this version im using is seriously ugly
[23:07] <ikonia> Renn: what maks you think they found a fix ?
[23:07] <gagzilla> anyone else experiencing blank displays on installing 10.04?
[23:07] <ikonia> mistii: use what you like
[23:07] <mistii> it is hard.
[23:07] <Ken8521> mistii, well... .. "what's.. hard.."
[23:07] <ikonia> mistii: if you don't like ubuntu - don't use it ?
[23:07] <mistii> codes. dont know how to do anything with it.
[23:07] <christopher> ok
[23:07] <fabio333> duongthaiha, System -Preferences -> windows
[23:07] <Ken8521> mistii, well, you ahve to learn.
[23:07] <Slart> mistii: there are other linux distros as well.. google for distrowatch.. try to top 5 or so.. or browser around and see if you find something you like
[23:07] <Renn> ikonia: can I post a url to the bug report here?
[23:07] <christopher> finally it saved to xorg
[23:08] <magik> duongthaiha: Try right clicking on the bar at the top and What version of ubuntu are you on?
[23:08] <ikonia> Renn: sure
[23:08] <Renn> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/linux/+bug/549989
[23:08] <christopher> so if I restart x it should work?
[23:08] <Dizkonnekted> gagzilla, yeah i have, ive had amazing problems and tried 3 different downloads of 10.04 including the alternate cd
[23:08] <gagzilla> Dizkonnekted, how did you solve it?
[23:08] <Renn> towards the bottom "powersave=0 looks like it did the trick"
[23:08] <gagzilla> Dizkonnekted, I'm facing that on 2 out of 3 machines
[23:08] <magik> Guys, what is the ping command usefull for???
[23:08] <Ken8521> mistii, honestly, the way ubuntu is set up, you rarely have to use a terminal.. unless you just want to.
[23:08] <VirginiaSteaks> hey folks, i somehow managed it to crash my CTRL+L on any gnome terminal: normally this "hotkey" would clear the terminal - but instead i now always get "^L" just written on the terminal. what could i have done wrong?
[23:09] <jpds> magik: Seeing if a machine is alive?
[23:09] <blue_anna> magik: checking to see if a computer is on the net
[23:09] <duongthaiha> fabio333: Thanks a lot it work. I dont know how it been disable to none :D
[23:09] <EmilySC> gagzilla, alsamixer didn't help any :(
[23:09] <magik> That's a bit boring :P
[23:09] <greezmunkey> magik: first line tcp/ip connectivity test.
[23:09] <jpds> magik: Well, useful though.
[23:09] <magik> What if
[23:09] <jpds> magik: If you want shiny, use mtr.
[23:09] <ikonia> Renn: that is a kernel boot parameter, you add it to your grub kernel boot line
[23:09] <gagzilla> EmilySC, you don't see the speaker in alsamixer?
[23:09] <Slart> VirginiaSteaks: in gnome terminal you can disable shortcut keys in the Edit, Keyboard shortcuts option
[23:10] <mistii> apparently i have not got the latest version. although i got it today, do i have to reinstall? im okay with this one. im just not used to using linux opensource. so no need to fly daggers at me people :(
[23:10] <Renn> ikonia: thanks, but I have no idea how to do that  :D
[23:10] <Dizkonnekted> gagzilla,  i didnt sorry, i went back and even tried updating throught the manager, best thing i can suggest is you burn at a slow speed and check the iso with md5sum to be sure its good
[23:10] <Ken8521> mistii, well what version do you have?
[23:10] <Slart> VirginiaSteaks: you might want to check that they are enabled and that Ctrl+L is still defined
[23:10] <magik> Say a computer is on a 10mbs connection and I am running my 120mbs connection. I ping the ip of that computer sending lets say about 50k bytes every few seconds. What would that do to the other computer on a lower speed connection than me?
[23:10] <gagzilla> Dizkonnekted, but it was fixed eventually?
[23:10] <ikonia> Renn: look at the grub config files in /etc/grub.d
[23:10] <mistii> not sure actually. its a pretty simplified looking one. maybe 8.5 ive got no clue.
[23:10] <jpds> magik: Not much...
[23:10] <Dizkonnekted> gagzilla,  not for me, after 5 attempts i gave up
[23:10] <gagzilla> Dizkonnekted, oh
[23:11] <magik> It would flood their connection with to many packets?
[23:11] <jpds> magik: No, they're very small.
[23:11] <magik> What if i set the size to like 500000?
[23:11] <samrose> how to change the default disk that ubuntu installs packages to?
[23:11] <pure_hate> magik, Ping is a poor way to send a DOS
[23:12] <magik> Dos?
[23:12] <TommyH> Can someone help me get audio to work in Ubuntu, i'm running the live version right now
[23:12] <EmilySC> gagzilla, I see master (which did what its supposed to do), headphone which don't effect either speakers, speaker which has no bar and stays at 00, PCM, Front, Surround all do nothing
[23:12] <jpds> magik: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_maximum_size_of_an_ICMP_packet
[23:12] <Dizkonnekted> magik, nobody here is going to help you try a DOS attack on another computer lol
[23:12] <magik> I'm not
[23:12] <Ken8521> mistii, well, in all truthfullness, if your'e using 8.04, it sucked
[23:12] <magik> I was just thinking
[23:12] <onetinsoldier> magik: DOS = Denial-of-Service attack
[23:12] <hendrixfire> hi everybody
[23:13] <magik> I already know how to ddos.
[23:13] <onetinsoldier> !hi | hendrixfire
[23:13] <ninfis> heey ppls
[23:13] <ninfis> lol
[23:13] <magik> I just saw that i could change the packet size and it got me thinking.
[23:13] <hendrixfire> could anyone help me with a problem using xfce?
[23:13] <jpds> magik: See the link.
[23:13] <Slart> !lol > ninfis
[23:13] <gagzilla> EmilySC, that seems correct- have you tried looking at the sound preferences on the speaker icon in the panel?
[23:13] <magik> cba
[23:14] <Renn> okay I found the 10_linux file in ect/grub.d but I'm not sure were it is I'm suppose to add this line
[23:14] <mistii> yeah. its pretty ugly ken
[23:14] <hendrixfire> i installed it by sudo apt-get xubuntu-desktop
[23:14] <Dizkonnekted> magik, if you understand Ddos then you should understand dos and networking in general, unless your using some scripts you managed to download or something
[23:14] <EmilySC> gagzilla, yep, I don't see any way to change which speakers do what.
[23:14] <gagzilla> EmilySC, check the Output panel and verify that the Connector is what you want it to be
[23:14] <hendrixfire> but now that i'm using it i can't find my other hard disk in the PLACES menu..
[23:14] <Ken8521> mistii, wel, none of the ubuntu versions are all that pretty out of the box.
[23:15] <EmilySC> gagzilla, Says Internal Audio Analog Stereo.  Shouldn't it be something external?
[23:15] <exodus_ms> tryn to upgrade to latest distro using sudo do-release-upgrade -d and I get this: The upgrade is now aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 4286M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 1302M of disk space on '
[23:15] <Jimmymaniac> Did Lucid remove the services manager? if so, what's it's replacement?
[23:15] <Dizkonnekted> Ken8521, neither are any versions of windows ;)
[23:15] <magik> Dizkonnekted: I do understand it. I'm just not very strong in the ICMP section.
[23:15] <EmilySC> gagzilla, Thats the only option btw
[23:15] <gagzilla> EmilySC, probably- try some of the other ones and see if that fixes it
[23:15] <Ken8521> Dizkonnekted, :) no argument there
[23:15] <gagzilla> EmilySC, oh... well then. Sorry dont know the solution
[23:15] <hendrixfire> do you know what can i do?
[23:15] <VirginiaSteaks> Slart: thanks, but that wasn't the mistake: i accidently put vi command mode behaviour of the bash itself into .bashrc. this was my mistake. but thanks anyway :)
[23:16] <mistii> i wanted those types of icons at the bottom of the screen. i heard i can get it from gnome-look but can it work on this build ken?
[23:16] <Slart> Jimmymaniac: preferences, startup applications? or? I'm not actually sure what the service manager did?
[23:16] <Slart> VirginiaSteaks: ah.. well. you're welcome
[23:16] <gagzilla> EmilySC, one other thing to try is see if lsmod has pcspkr in it
[23:16] <EmilySC> gagzilla, Thanks for your efforts anyway :)  I'm going to keep at it
[23:16] <Ken8521> mistii, you've yet to put together a question that makes any sense at all, let alone answer a simple question that's been asked of you... so no, i can't help you
[23:16] <gagzilla> EmilySC, if it does- remove it and see if that addresses your problem
[23:16] <EmilySC> gagzilla, Okie.  What is LSmod?
[23:16] <Jimmymaniac> Slart: No, actual services, the "daemons" to use the correct term, stuff like Apache, MySQL and the like
[23:17] <gagzilla> EmilySC, lsmod = list modules
[23:17] <Jimmymaniac> i suspect i need to fine-tune that
[23:17] <Slart> Jimmymaniac: ahh.. yes.. now I remember.. nope.. haven't seen anything like that in lucid
[23:17] <mistii> --_-- why are people so rude to me. im new to this.
[23:17] <Sp0tter> Can you run Xen in a domu under Xen ?
[23:17] <Ken8521> mistii, i'm not rude, you're just whining, and not asking a question, nor providing simple answers when asked a question.
[23:17] <onetinsoldier> Jimmymaniac: i know of a couple of command line tools, but, it would be very nice if there were a gui one
[23:17] <magik> Does anyone happen to know the code to show ip in conky?
[23:18] <Jimmymaniac> why did they remove the services manager if there was no replacement? that was a very bad choice
[23:18] <mistii> im not whining. something was advertised to me. as a ubuntu os. with icons at the bottom of the screen. yet i dont have any on this. there at the top. and its extremely simplified.
[23:18] <EmilySC> gagzilla, nope :(
[23:18]  * Jimmymaniac looks for an alternative
[23:18] <Renn> how do I add "i915.powersave=0" to my kernel boot line?
[23:18] <Ken8521> mistii, you likely saw a desktop that had a fair amount of GUI tweaking done to it.
[23:19] <Ken8521> mistii, as i told you a few minutes ago, the GUI out of the box is fairly simplified
[23:19] <ross_> how do you upgrade the driver for the graphic card
[23:19] <Renn> magik: do you want both the public and private IP shown?
[23:19] <Ken8521> ross_, that depends on the graphic card...
[23:19] <Piccolo48> wow, there sure are a lot of people here
[23:19] <Jimmymaniac> as a first look i see "BootUp Manager", or "bum" in apt, as an alternative
[23:20] <mistii> very, not to my taste but i want to use this, i just need help in using this thing.
[23:20] <Piccolo48> Anyway, I just installed ubuntu, but for some reason my wireless internet wont detect or set up manually
[23:20] <Dizkonnekted> mistii, might i suggest youtube and searching the channel name gotbletu for some tutorials
[23:20] <Ken8521> mistii, then you need to be able to ask a question, which you've yet to do.
[23:20] <Piccolo48> Everything must be working fine physically, because I have windows installed as well and it works well on windows
[23:21] <mistii> i really need to rummage up a picture to show you what i mean.
[23:21] <Slart> mistii: it sounds like you want one of the docks.. cairo-dock or awn dock are two popular docks.. if you're looking for something more specific a screenshot would help a lot (google is wonderful for finding screenshots)
[23:21] <Ken8521> mistii, do you have yahoo/msn/aim?
[23:21] <Jimmymaniac> "bum" is not perfect, but it'll do for now
[23:21] <EmilySC> When I plug my headphones into my laptop, the sound doesn't mute on the laptop speakers.  Any ideas?
[23:22] <arand> !imagebin | mistii
[23:22] <Ken8521> that's weird... EmilySC does sound come through your headphones?
[23:22] <chalcedny> i'm feeling a bit desperate. can someone remind me of the keys to press to get to a command prompt and back out of it? i'm in the middle of a project, due tomorrow, and my mouse pointer just disappeared!
[23:22] <EmilySC> Yep!
[23:22] <Ken8521> hmm
[23:22] <mistii> i do want a dock, i believe it is a dock, slart where can i get them, you sound like music to my ears :D
[23:22] <EmilySC> Usually I have issues with NO sound...  Now its too much sound xD
[23:23] <Slart> EmilySC: I think it's a feature that's missing on a lot of laptops.. I'm not sure if it's a audio driver thing or a motherboard driver thing.. sometimes you'll have to lower the volume yourself using the alsamixer
[23:23] <Piccolo48> Arlight, there are too many people here, when is the best time to join?
[23:23] <xorwhy> Piccolo48: When there are less people here
[23:23] <Daekdroom> Piccolo48, I don't recall seeing this channel quieter than this.
[23:23] <EmilySC> Slart, I tried using alsamixer but couldn't find an option that effected the laptop speakers
[23:23] <magik> Anyone know the wmctrl command to resize a selected window???????????????
[23:23] <Daekdroom> Piccolo48, and I hang out here a lot.
[23:23] <Slart> mistii: they are available from the repositories.. if you open up system, administration, synaptic you can search for "awn" or "cairo-dock" and install them.. then they'll end up in the regular applications menu
[23:23] <Piccolo48> oh, damn
[23:23] <Dizkonnekted> Piccolo48, the more people here the more likely you will find an answer to your question ;)
[23:24] <Piccolo48> oh, so many people here is a good thing, ok
[23:24] <jamesd2> i hear that #win3.1 is a bit quieter...
[23:24] <xorwhy> haha
[23:24] <chalcedny> Piccolo48, there are many specialized ubuntu affiliated channels try /msg alis list *ubuntu* - some of them will not be so intimidating
[23:24] <xorwhy> Except on dangerous dave friday, it's packed
[23:24] <chalcedny> i'm feeling a bit desperate. can someone remind me of the keys to press to get to a command prompt and back out of it? i'm in the middle of a project, due tomorrow, and my mouse pointer just disappeared!
[23:25] <Slart> EmilySC: well.. you could just ignore it for now and see if future versions of alsa will bring better support.. or see if there is some kind of fix/work around.. searching the forums for your laptop model number might work
[23:25] <Piccolo48> Meh, I guess I'll follow the overcomplicated help guides.  Setting up wireless on ubuntu is ridiculously difficult in my particular case
[23:25] <chalcedny> i'm on ubuntu 9.04 if that matters
[23:25] <xorwhy> Ok so is there absolutely no way to customize the "Places" menu?
[23:25] <Slart> chalcedny: alt+f2, type   gnome-terminal and press enter
[23:25] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, what's your wireless device?
[23:25] <iWaldo> Hey guys, when I try to boot I get a grub "out of range pointer" error and can't boot. I tried reinstalling Ubuntu (and, presumably, grub), but I still have the same problem
[23:25] <chalcedny> Piccolo48, it can be challenging.. but it does work, works very well too
[23:26] <iWaldo> Anyone know what's up with that?
[23:26] <Piccolo48> I dont know.  But it works perfectly fine on windows (I have both on same computer)
[23:26] <xorwhy> That places menu would be so nice if I could add my places to it, but since I use none of the default directories for Music, Pictures, etc., it isn't very useful
[23:26] <greezmunkey> chalcedny: Ctrl+Alt+F(2-6) for a console {ctrl+alt+F2 for example)
[23:26] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, well that's pretty much irrelevant, of course it works fine on windows... is it a usb or internal?
[23:26] <Piccolo48> internal
[23:26] <UltraParadigm> Hi People!!!
[23:26] <xorwhy> I found it relevant.
[23:26] <greezmunkey> chalcedny: ctrl+alt+f7 to return to gui
[23:27] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, open up a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes, and hit enter, it'll list your pci devices, find your wireless device
[23:27] <Dizkonnekted> chalcedny, you might also just need to restart x by logging out and back in again
[23:27] <chalcedny> greezmunkey, thanks
[23:27] <Piccolo48> windows has terminal?
[23:27] <Ken8521> xorwhy, found what relevant?
[23:27] <EmilySC> Slart, I think I might have found something about it, albiet on a different type of laptop.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/477226
[23:27] <Slart> xorwhy: mm.. places feels like a weird hardcoded structure that probably has "TODO: Fix this.. just entered default directories manually, must improve later" as a comment in the source code.. =)
[23:27] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, are you on windows or Linux right now?
[23:27] <chalcedny> Dizkonnekted, if i do that i lose all my work
[23:28] <Piccolo48> windows, because it wont connect on linux
[23:28] <xorwhy> Ken8521: The works on windows comment, it eliminates hardware failure.
[23:28] <chalcedny> i'll try to kill things that are using ram first.. see if that helps
[23:28] <Slart> EmilySC: it's not an uncommon problem.. we get someone asking about it almost every day in here.. different laptops though but the same problem
[23:28] <Ken8521> xorwhy, well i'm assuming if it didn't work in windows, he wouldn't be dense enough to come here for help
[23:28] <Dizkonnekted> chalcedny, you can also use the keyboard to naviagte windows on screen to save your work
[23:28] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, then boot linux and run the command i gave you, and write down what it says about yoru wireless device
[23:28] <xorwhy> Slart: lol you know it, especially since the help file specifically states "You can customize the Applications and System menu"
[23:28] <chalcedny> Dizkonnekted, er how?
[23:28] <Slart> EmilySC: I think the problem is that there are a gazillion ways of doing this.. and a gazillion different sound solutions out there.. it's hard to keep up with them all
[23:29] <xorwhy> Ken8521: Density is primarily a function of windows use
[23:29] <samphippen> so I've just tried to upgade my system to 10.04 and during reboot it got as far as trying to find the bootloader, and has now said "error: the symbol `grub_puts_' not found. the prompt says "grub rescue" typing ls brings up a list of hard drives, I think my linux is on (hd1,1) how do I boot it?
[23:29] <Piccolo48> yipe, this is what I feared, having to go back and forth with terminal all day long.  But hey, thanks for having even more patience with this than I do.  Ok brb
[23:29] <Slart> xorwhy: =)
[23:29] <chalcedny> Slart, hehe *hus*
[23:29] <chalcedny> er
[23:30] <chalcedny> *hugs*
[23:30] <EmilySC> Slart, okie, heres hoping I can find one of those solutions ;)
[23:30] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, any way you can hook up cat6 cable?.. usually linux will recognize wired connections
[23:30] <Piccolo48> no
[23:30] <Dizkonnekted> chalcedny, ALT and TAB move focus to different apps and windows, within a specific window TAB moves the selection around, holding down the ALT key in a window and pressing the underlined letter in a menu activates that menu etc
[23:30] <chalcedny> Piccolo48, that makes it more entertaining
[23:30] <Slart> EmilySC: the forums is your best bet if you ask me.. that and lots of patience
[23:30] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, well.. first you need to figure out the chipset on the device, which that command will tell you, then we can go about trying to help you
[23:31] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, just write down everything it says about your wireless device
[23:31] <Piccolo48> Alright, brb, thanks
[23:31] <chalcedny> Dizkonnekted, thank you very much :)
[23:31] <Dizkonnekted> chalcedny, your welcome
[23:31] <EmilySC> Slart, thanks for your help either way ;D
[23:31] <steven> Hi everyone. I'm new to Linux/Ubuntu. I got tired of Windows and completely scrapped it. However I may have done it prematurely because I am having huge issues with hardware and drivers. And I have no clue how to fix some of these things. Can anyone help me?
[23:31] <xorwhy> Is there an attribute to commands that lanch X windows to specify their height and width regardless of whether or not the program contains such a function?
[23:31] <rzilla> i have a simple question, hopefully someone will be able to help me
[23:31] <Slart> EmilySC: you're welcome
[23:32] <NE_Home> ok. For unknown reasons to me I lost the volume icon and slider at the top pannel, right side. Right clicking and trying an "add to pannel" brings up a list where there is no Volume applet. I'm running 10.04.  What is going on?
[23:32] <KiiK> hi. how to check what network card I have installed
[23:32] <Slart> xorwhy: try devilspie
[23:32] <Ken8521> steven, wellt hat wasn't very smart... ask a question regarding specific hardware, rather than a general one
[23:32] <ikonia> xorwhy: some have -x-orginate and -y-ordinates, do --help on them but they are normally X11 native apps, soch as xclock and xterm
[23:32] <Slart> xorwhy: it can do all kinds of things to windows.. it has to be able to do that
[23:32] <rzilla> I've got windows 7 and ubuntu on my laptop - if I format the linux-related partitions into ntfs, will my laptop go back to using the windows bootloader? will there be anything linux-related left on my laptop?
[23:32] <klappi> KiiK: you can try lspci
[23:32] <tripelb> what's the right place to discuss Vuze please? (I get command to update.... tells me I already have that version. Every time I open it.)
[23:32] <tripelb> will someone KICK floodbots what's up?
[23:32] <Slart> tripelb: I think they disabled the updates in the version from the repos
[23:32] <Ken8521> rzilla, you'll probably also hav to clear the mbr, or you'll get boot errors
[23:33] <Slart> tripelb: or you installed it directly from their site? what version are you running?
[23:33] <tripelb> Slart, is there an advantage to it over transmission?
[23:33] <rzilla> I see. Is that easy to do?
[23:34] <steven> Okay I have an Asus g50v gaming laptop and I just installed 10.04. I'm a noob. I can't get flash to work properly and I have sound but the headphone and mic jack will not work. Any ideas?
[23:34] <Ken8521> rzilla, it can be.
[23:34] <Slart> tripelb: well, vuze has more features.. plugings, lots of settings and so on.. it's also slower, uses more memory and so on.. you'll have to decide what features you want
[23:34] <Ken8521> steven, flash, like adobe flash for youtube?
[23:34] <rzilla> ken8521: i'm looking around google, if I can't figure out how to do it I'll come back in a few mins and ask :)
[23:35] <Ken8521> rzilla, good luck.. i've removed grub before, but you need a boot disk to do it to my knowledge
[23:35] <m0tek> i have 'typing break' enabled and appreciate it for the most part
[23:35] <NE_Home> For unknown reasons to me I lost the volume icon and slider at the top pannel, right side. Right clicking and trying an "add to pannel" brings up a list where there is no Volume applet. I'm running 10.04. What could be happening?
[23:35] <christopher> hi again everyone
[23:35] <rzilla> thanks ken9521
[23:35] <rzilla> *ken8521
[23:35] <christopher> onetinsoldier: are you still here
[23:35] <chalcedny> ok .. firefox killed and i still have NO mouse.. is there a way to restart the mouse drivers without restarting everything? and how to change tabs in gnome terminal with no mouse?
[23:35] <m0tek> but sometimes it pops up at the worst possible times (during a demo, during some real time experiment, whatever) and I really need an override. does it exist?
[23:35] <Ken8521> NE_Home, i think it's in notification area
[23:35] <xorwhy> Slart: 32kb of solved, thank you!
[23:35] <steven> I had adobe working. However its glitchy. It was working fine now I cant go to full screen and most sites with flash won't show video content.
[23:35] <simar> sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness  can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ...
[23:35] <iWaldo> Fuck, grub is really screwed on my PC
[23:36] <steven> youtube does work though just no fullscreen.
[23:36] <tripelb> What's KEYSTROKES for Show Desktop (aka hide all windows) ??
[23:36] <Ken8521> NE_Home, it's either notification area, or indicator applet, not sure which
[23:36] <mistii> i think im gonna love you ubuntu/linux guys :) so helpful
[23:36] <onetinsoldier> christopher: hello. yes
[23:36] <Slart> NE_Home: I don't think that's an applet.. it's probably a task try icon you're seeing
[23:36] <NE_Home> Ken8521: i will search that, thanks. I do have the notification area though
[23:36] <iWaldo> Can't use the fix I found online, reinstalling didn't work
[23:36] <Ken8521> NE_Home, yeah, it might be indicator applet.. i can't remember, i know it changed on 10.04
[23:36] <happyface> how do I "take over" a byobu screen (in ssh) so that it resizes to MY terminal window?
[23:36] <chalcedny> mistii irc and open source were made for each other :)
[23:37] <iWaldo> I'm running out of options other than totally wiping the HD
[23:37] <simar> tripelb, use  Compiz config to change whatever you want to set ...
[23:37] <mistii> :D hehehehe, i love all of you. thanks for your help
[23:37] <Slart> xorwhy: you're welcome
[23:37] <mistii> this is gonna be my favourite chat.
[23:37] <Ken8521> steven, it's working fine in full screen here.
[23:37] <christopher> onetinsoldier: Thank you for all your help, I finally got it working, in the end I had to login at command line as root and write out the entire xorg.conf in nano. Lol dont want to ever do that again
[23:38] <simar> sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness  can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ...
[23:38] <tkj> ?
[23:38] <simar> plz help
[23:38] <chalcedny> christopher, wow congratulations!
[23:38] <onetinsoldier> christopher: lol, roger that. well, i'm glad you got it figured out! :-)
[23:38] <xorwhy> whats the command to list a specified environment variable?
[23:38] <christopher> yeah so am I
[23:38] <magik> Hey guys, i have a few things. One is that i need to know the command for changing a window size using wmctrl and another is i need to ask why my Terminator doesn't have a transparent background when i have that selected.
[23:38] <christopher> anyway thanks guys
[23:38] <mistii> now im going to get some nice looking things for the desktop.
[23:38] <Halitech> christopher, ouch, done that myself and its not fun
[23:38] <onetinsoldier> christopher: so your x-windows is configured like you want it now then?
[23:38] <christopher> yep
[23:38] <steven> actually i think its a browser issue. It works in firefox but not chrome. I really wish I could find a way to get me headphone jack to work on my sound card.
[23:38] <gagzilla> xorwhy, env
[23:38] <christopher> 1024x768
[23:39] <gagzilla> xorwhy, or echo $FOO
[23:39] <Slart> xorwhy: echo $somevariable    should work
[23:39] <Ken8521> steven, i just tested full screen in chrome, and it's fine there also.
[23:39] <tripelb> simar, I dont use comfiz. It's prolly too many resources right now. I wanted to know if anything is built in.
[23:39] <onetinsoldier> christopher: good. take care and enjoy :-)
[23:39] <NE_Home> Ken8521: Slart: wtf. I added an "indicator applet" (something that indicates there is need for attention) and there appeared the Volume thing. What has been going on the minds of Ubuntu devels as of late? I almost feel like going back to 8.04  :(
[23:39] <christopher> you too
[23:39] <indivi> hola
[23:39] <magik> Anyone know the command to resize windows???????????????/
[23:40] <tripelb> simar, Alt-tab doesnt have "desktop" built into it.                     ------------------------------------- I wanted to know if anything is built in.
[23:40] <Slart> NE_Home: the indicator applet should be there by default.. perhaps you somehow removed it by accident?
[23:40] <simar> tripelb, yes ofcourse its there in etc scripts but don't know exactly ... sorry
[23:40] <Ken8521> NE_Home, i'm not sure why they changed that... but there's been significant changes tot he notification area/panel applets since 8.04
[23:40] <tripelb> Is there a magic command to make 2 windows share the screen, horiz or vert
[23:40] <tripelb> thanks simar, NP
[23:40] <ujjain> Getting Windows Shares working in Ubuntu is hard.
[23:40] <simar> sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness  can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ..
[23:40] <simar> help!!!!
[23:40] <mistii> i have to restart apparently :). thanks everybody
[23:40] <simar> sudo echo 3 | tee -a /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight/brightness  can anyone please tell me the meaning of this statement including |(or) i know what are echo ..
[23:41] <onetinsoldier> indivi: hola. espanol? spanish?
[23:41] <Slart> simar: echo means print.. so it prints 3.. but it doesn't print it just to screen.. it prints it to a file
[23:41] <tripelb> OK last question now. HOW TO REMOVE VUZE?  (also wine)
[23:41] <samijam> i switched from using kde/kdm back to gnome/gdm but gdm isn't starting at boot. I'm stuck at the flash screen and I have to start gdm manually.  How can i get it to start automatically again?
[23:42] <Piccolo48> Ok, there was a lot to right down, but I think the most common thing said was "Intel corp core processor" or something
[23:42] <Slart> simar: linux uses files for all kinds of things.. not just the regular documents and such.. there are files that you can write things to and things change.. hardware, settings and such
[23:42] <Halitech> tripelb, is vuze installed in wine?
[23:42] <NE_Home> Slart: no man I didn't. All I did was restore my old homedir back.  Ken8521: I see it yea. There are more things apart from the notification area that are changed.  If it weren't for the incorporated ath5k driver that this 10.04 has, I'd be with my 8.04 (manually compiling madwifi_hal driver)
[23:42] <FatsDT> xfce requires hal?   Yuck.
[23:42] <Piccolo48> I ddi see USB a couple times, however, said "USB controller enhanced host controller intel"
[23:42] <tripelb> no, wine is just something else I am not using and is prolly in a new version anyway.
[23:43] <steven> does anyone know much about sound cards. I have sound on mine but the headphone and microphone inputs will not work at all. I don't really know where to start to resolve this issues since i'm new to linux.
[23:43] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, you didn't see anything there about your wireless device?
[23:43] <Halitech> tripelb, sudo aptitude remove vuze wine
[23:43] <Slart> simar: the /sys folder is one of these folders with lots of weird files connected to all kinds of hardware.. so that line writes a "3" to a file that probably controls the brightness of the screen.. it might be that you can write numbers from 1 to 10 or 1 to 100.. where 10 or 100 is max brightness and 1 is almost completely dark
[23:43] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, a processor, is not a wireless device.
[23:43] <rzilla> @Ken8521 will the windows cmd command fdisk /mbr fix my problem?
[23:43] <LoganSkytower> Hi, I just upgraded my 9.04 to 9.10 (I'll probably do a 10.04 upgrade tomorrow) buuuuut, after some hassling I have my sound working, my video playing in correct colors and my desktop scrolling again... now I just want one thing. I have the Applications menu in my gnome bar and there's an unruly large icon next to it, and that wasn't there before.
[23:43] <simar> Slart, ya i know that but how we do without using editor ... with these commands ... the meaing of this compound statement .. dats i wanna know
[23:43] <Piccolo48> I mean, I guess I saw "signal process controller intel"
[23:43] <Ken8521> rzilla, it might.... i'm not gonna say ys or no.
[23:43] <LoganSkytower> steven; do you know how to open up a terminal?
[23:43] <tripelb> HALLTECH thanks a lot
[23:44] <steven> yes I do
[23:44] <Slart> simar: ok..  do you understand something like this      echo "some text" > somefile.txt    ?
[23:44] <Piccolo48> Or something like CI express test internet controller
[23:44] <simar> echo prints so how does it write???
[23:44] <simar> ya exactly
[23:44] <rzilla> Ken8521, is it safe to do?
[23:44] <LoganSkytower> steven: okay, open a terminal and type in "alsamixer" and tell me what that does.
[23:44] <Slart> simar: it writes the text "some text" to a file called somefile.txt
[23:44] <steven> alsamixer
[23:44] <Halitech> tripelb, I'm guessing on the names but if those are the right names what should do it
[23:44] <steven> ok
[23:44] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, you're asking for specific help, and giving very very generic "maybe" answers... i told you you needed to write down everything about your wireless device
[23:45] <LoganSkytower> steven: and it might be useful to highlight me, by typing the first few letters of my name so I can see you're replying to me.
[23:45] <Slart> simar: the > is called a pipe.. it sends the output from the previous command somewhere.. it could send it to a file.. or as input to another command
[23:45] <steven> brings up an area to change sound settings
[23:45] <Random833> Slart: no, > isn't a pipe - a pipe is |
[23:45] <simar> Slart, what is tee and echo "some text" | tee some file?????
[23:45] <Slart> simar: you can use   >  <  or |
[23:45] <Random833> which is what sends it to another program
[23:45] <simar> Slart, ok
[23:45] <Random833> simar: tee sends it both on its output and to the other file
[23:45] <Slart> simar: yes.. Random is right..   | is a pipe > would be called.. redirection, I think
[23:45] <LoganSkytower> steven, good. Hit tab, you'll see it jump to "recording" at the top.
[23:45] <Random833> it's like, well, a T style fitting in actual pipes
[23:45] <Slart> Random833: yes.. my bad
[23:45] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, one of the lines in that output, should ahv elooked osmething like this..  6:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 01)
[23:46] <Ken8521> Piccolo48, obviousoly you have a different device, but that's basically what it looks like
[23:46] <LoganSkytower> steven, you can navigate with the arrow keys. Just tell me what your microphone volume is set to.
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[23:46] <xorwhy> Wow devilspie is awesome
[23:46]  * thb|Ou7 buscar um filme ali!
[23:46] <Slart> simar: ok.. here comes the tricky stuff... say you want to write some text to a file that is owned by root... as most important files are
[23:46] <magik> Hey guys. After restarting my computer i opened up my Terminator terminal and now I can't set the background to be transparent! =[
[23:46] <simar> Slart,  i 'm getting please keep going
[23:47] <Piccolo48> I think ethernet is the key word.  I think I thought I wrote that down and skipped it, brb
[23:47] <NE_Home> Slart: add a sudo at front of that echo earlier ?
[23:47] <Slart> simar: you would probably think you could write something like     sudo echo "some text" > somefile.txt   .. but no.. that command only runs echo "some text" as root.. then the > somefile.txt is run as your regular user'
[23:47] <bricky> hey where can I get the so called Genie plug for compizz or ccsm
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> magik: press alt+f2, type: compiz --replace   press enter
[23:47] <Slart> simar: so you'll end up with some kind of permission denied error
[23:47] <steven> the microphone was all the way down. there isnt an option to turn up the headphones though
[23:48] <LoganSkytower> Are the headphones USB or jack, steven?
[23:48] <magik> ActionParsnip: Ok i did that
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> bricky: try installing compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[23:48] <steven> jack
[23:48] <simar> so we have to use sudo some file right??
[23:48] <magik> ActionParsnip: Yay it worked TYVM!!!
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> magik: add the command in your startup items
[23:48] <LoganSkytower> steven, hit tab again, and again, you'll be back at the regular sound settings "Playback" and check there.
[23:48] <bricky> ActionParsnip : Thanks ill try
[23:49] <Slart> simar: here's where the "tee" command comes in.. it simply redirects the output to a file  but you can run it as root if you want to send something to a file as root
[23:49] <magik> ActionParsnip: Yeah doing so now
[23:49] <foo_fighter> i have a problem with chromium browser....could anyone help me?
[23:49] <chalcedny> ActionParsnip, you remember i have ubuntu 9.04, my mouse just *quit* working.. (i'm on the vista laptop, talking to you) what can i do to restart my mouse?
[23:49] <fabio333> try chrome
[23:50] <foo_fighter> fabio333:  i can't hear radio stations
[23:50] <Slart> simar: so instead of     sudo echo "some text" > somefile.txt    we could write something like   echo "some text" | sudo tee somefile.txt
[23:50] <LoganSkytower> To clarify, what is happening to my taskbar's Application menu is this: http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/140/010610.png That very large down pointing arrow has made the lower taskbar really, really broad, and I want it to go away. In 9.04 that arrow wasn't there. Any suggestions? A link to a small iconset would be fun too, as long as it works :D
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: try adding: i8024.reset    to your boot options in /etc/default/grub
[23:51] <Slart> simar: personally I've never really gotten used to using tee.. I usually use some other way around it.. but that's one of the reasons that it's there
[23:51] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, clever placing of your irc window
[23:51] <ovnicraft> hi folks, what is the name of gnome theme in 10.4?
[23:51] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, I do my best ;)
[23:51] <Ken8521> lol
[23:51] <magik> Anyone here any good with conky?
[23:51] <Slart> ovnicraft: ambience, I think
[23:52] <ovnicraft> Slart, thx
[23:52] <Halitech> magik, what is the question you have about conky?
[23:52] <Slart> ovnicraft: there's also Radiance.. a lighter version of the same theme
[23:52] <chalcedny> ActionParsnip, umm not sure how to do that, is there a way to restart the mouse so i can finish working on my project?
[23:52] <magik> Halitech: Just wondering what the code is to show the ip address of your machine.
[23:52] <kamil_> jacyś polacy ?
[23:52] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, I take it you however have no idea how to solve my issue though?
[23:52] <Slart> !pl | kamil_
[23:52] <Halitech> magik, give me a second
[23:52] <kamil_> ok ok
[23:53] <magik> Halitech: Ok, Thanks =]
[23:53] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, i missed the question actualy, lemme scroll up
[23:53] <kamil_> I have problem with my xubuntu
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[23:53] <CheckMate> when I boot the computer, I am seeing the following types of messages...what does this mean and how do I fix it? "16.764599] end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 0"
[23:53] <magik> kamil_: What's the problem?
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: you can run thet by pressing ALT+F2 (no mouse needed)
[23:53] <kamil_> cpu usage is 100%
[23:53] <kamil_> when I install or whatever
[23:53] <magik> kamil_: Thats rather strange. How long has this been happening for?
[23:54] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, what happens when you click the arrow?
[23:54] <Halitech> magik, here is what I use ${color orange}NETWORK (${addr eth1}) ${hr 2}$color
[23:54] <LoganSkytower> It opens the Applications menu
[23:54] <magik> kamil_: What proccessor do you have?
[23:54] <kamil_> I have linux from 2 weeks
[23:54] <magik> thanks Halitech
[23:54] <simar> Slart, whats for | then
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: find this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"  and change it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8024.reset'
[23:54] <octavio> Hello :), I'm having problems with the screen resolution, using radeon 9200. It works perfectly in 9.04 and 9.10 but now just give me 3 res. options. I don't know if I can get the xorg.conf from the others ubuntu versions.
[23:54]  * iWaldo prepares to uninstall ubuntu :(
[23:54] <Slart> simar: that sends the output from    echo "3"  to the   tee   command
[23:54] <kamil_> i have ubuntu 10.04 studio lucid, debian and xubuntu (alredy)
[23:55] <kamil_> my cpu is PIII
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> chalcedony: save the new file, and close gedit. Press ALT+F2 again and launch a terminal, then run: sudo update-grub; sudo reboot    should be ok
[23:55] <LoganSkytower> Sorry, Ken8521, that was directed at you, when I click the arrow, it opens the "applications" menu.
[23:55] <Slart> simar: tee then takes that input and sends it to the file
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> Slart: could just use: sudo -i    before ;)
[23:55] <kamil_> it's old notebook
[23:55] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, hmm. you could try arranging yoru panel a little better, that might make it go away.. it's their because there's to much in that panel i do believe
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> kamil_: if you run: top   in a terminal, what is chewing the cpu?
[23:56] <kamil_> 128mb ram, noemagic graphic
[23:56] <kamil_> xorg
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> kamil_: i'd recommend LXDE, its a bit lighter
[23:56] <Slart> ActionParsnip: yes.. scroll up.. simar had some one-liner for setting brightness which involved tee.. it's hard to explain =)
[23:56] <kamil_> i now
[23:56] <chalcedny> ActionParsnip, ok trying that (i won't lose my work on all the stuff i have open?)
[23:56] <simar> Slart,  then why don't we use echo 3 file to diretly send opuput from echo to file
[23:57] <magik> Halitech: That code doesn't work for me. No ip displays =[
[23:57] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, I've made it so it automatically adjusts it's size when new stuff is added... so that can't be it. I can't make it smaller using the taskbar size... the Arrow is what's usually the standard Ubuntu Icon, but the Iconset I use has an arrow. And changing to the Ubuntu icons wouldn't be a problem, I don't care that much about the looks, but, it doesn't fix it, it remains overly large.
[23:57] <kamil_> but on lxde i have this same problem
[23:57] <NE_Home> iWaldo: what is it? Tough luck ?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> chalcedny: not until you reboot, so just don't reboot til its convenient
[23:57] <Slart> simar: in this canse.. no idea.. since tee isn't run with sudo we might as well just go with     echo "3" > somefile
[23:57] <magik> It just says (Noi address)
[23:57] <kamil_> now i use xfce, but lxde i installed few minutes ago
[23:57] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, i have no idea...
[23:57] <iWaldo> NE_Home: Grub is fried, and nothing I've tried gets my computer to boot
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> kamil_: you may need to form an xorg.conf file to get a nice performance. If you run: lspci | grep -i vga     you can wesearch for the output to find guides
[23:57] <Halitech> magik, you may need to change eth1 to eth0 or whatever number you use
[23:57] <chalcedny> ActionParsnip, that's what i wanted! thanks so much!!!
[23:58] <Slart> simar: but people do things the way they've always done them.. it doesn't always make sense.. or there might be something clever about it that I just don't know
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> chalcedny: np, the kernel options are only applied when the kernel is loaded
[23:58] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, Yeah, you and me both :>
[23:58] <iWaldo> Ubuntu does not play nicely with this computer
[23:58] <magik> Halitech: That only seems to be getting my internal ip. Is there a way to get my external?
[23:58] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, unless you remove "window list" and add "Window selector" (which is more like a menu)
[23:58] <NE_Home> iWaldo: so i guess you have tried some tricks already, starting with reinstalling grub
[23:58] <linxeh> magik: www.whatismyip.com   www.whatsmyip.com
[23:58] <Slart> simar: but from what I understand.. it only makes sense to use tee when you write to a file that is owned by root.. so the regular > doesn't work
[23:58] <kamil_> form your commend : " 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2230 [MagicGraph 256AV+] (rev 30)
[23:58] <iWaldo> NE_Home: I reinstalled Ubuntu, which I'm pretty sure should reinstall grub too
[23:59] <magik> linxeh: No, I'm trying to add it to conky. Thus needing the conky code!
[23:59] <Halitech> magik, you didn't mention you had a router :) I think you need a script that can output to a text file but I'm not totally sure how or what to write
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> kamil_: let me dig
[23:59] <simar> Slart,  ok i got some out of it ... well thanks a lot for your patience and help .... now i'm equiped enough to google it ... have a gd day
[23:59] <blind> how can I see what my playstation controller is on my computer as far as /dev/ ..it's apparently NOT /dev/js0 , but it is detected in some programs.
[23:59] <linxeh> magik: ah, sorry
[23:59] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, Yeah, that does fix it. But I like my "applications, places, system" menu :<
[23:59] <Slart> simar: you're welcome
[23:59] <magik> linxeh: Haha it's fine.
[23:59] <simar> Slart, thanks
[23:59] <NE_Home> iWaldo: id think the same. But it's odd what you say. What happens when rebooting?
[23:59] <LoganSkytower> Ken8521, Blegh, screw it. I'll just use that.
[23:59] <kamil_> I'm sorry, dont understand :( i'm from pl and my eng is not god
[23:59] <Ken8521> LoganSkytower, no.. all it does is take all of your windows(xchat, etc..) and make them selectable from a single button window, rather than having a button for each window, spread across the menu


[02:27] <r2d2rogers> Robdgreat: failure?
[03:31] <Robdgreat> bah.
[03:31] <Robdgreat> you said brb and I tabbed out for an hour
[03:44] <r2d2rogers> that's ok
[03:44] <r2d2rogers> I had had icecream


[11:15] <xpheres> hello
[11:15] <xpheres> any idea of when is it going to work the ubuntu touch emulator?
[18:01] <siretart> doko: i checked with upstream on aspectc++, it needs porting to gcc5
[18:02] <doko> siretart, thanks, although I'm wondering why people only check *after* a package is removed from testing ;-P
[18:08] <siretart> doko: i checked with him already a couple of weeks ago, actually
[20:07] <teward> pitti: (response to yesterday's ping) yes, that was already answered by infinity - so late on the response.  In any case, that issue was resolved, and hopefully the ifnames issue affecting the server ISOs won't be happening again.  I know it was on your radar (thanks to inifnity and cyphermox) but I guess I just came in complaining and it got a slight bump in expediency-of-fixing xD
[20:27] <infinity> teward: Feel free to double-check the server ISO ifnames thing with today's daily, but my fix should be working (I didn't actually test the ISO, though, just tested artificially locally).
[20:27] <teward> infinity: i'm going to test when I get home
[20:28] <teward> because i'm on the bus and mobile broadband is a piece of [censored]
[20:28] <teward> so in a few hours i'll test :/
[20:28] <teward> infinity: and if it doesn't work i'll bother you about it :)
[20:28] <infinity> teward: Fair enough. :)
[20:31] <teward> god i hate laptops
[23:12] <codepython777> What laptop do the majority of the ubuntu developers use for working / developing ubuntu - does anyone here know?
[23:12] <teward> codepython777: as I said in #ubuntu there is no one majority-used laptop or hardware
[23:12] <teward> also !crosspost
[23:12] <teward> bah forgot wrong channel
[23:12] <teward> but still
