[12:53] <dr_willis> eleVen,  i would guess that  what you think happened - is not what really happened..   its possible some update/upgrade messed stuff up for all users.. but its hard to tell.
[12:53] <dr_willis> eleVen,  try making a new user, see if they have the same issue.. *(what is the issue anyway)*
[12:55] <eleVen> dr_willis: u kick azz
[12:55] <eleVen> :D
[12:55] <eleVen> thanks
[12:56] <eleVen> this weechat is also kickazz
[12:56] <leagris> I am trying to get ekiga support for x264 but the provided natty version does not offer that. Has to compile ekiga trunk. Listed deb and ubuntu repository from ekiga wiki are outdated empty. Too bad. The Ubuntu opal library has stability usability issues. Any other known good ekiga packages with x264?
[12:56] <dr_willis> eleVen,  check the weechat docs/beginner guides.. it has some amazing features
[12:57] <rizzeh> irssi > weechat (imo) :D
[12:57] <dr_willis> I find weechat >>>> irssi
[12:57] <dr_willis> smar filters are so handy.
[12:57] <dr_willis> smart..
[12:57] <eleVen> dr_willis: yo... i will check it out.. thanks once again... u r the dr...
[12:57] <rizzeh> larger footprint
[12:58] <dr_willis> smart fiilters are smart.. :)
[12:58] <dr_willis> yea.. i really need to conserve ram on this 6gb desktop :)
[12:58] <rizzeh> im ssh into 64mb ram server :z
[12:58] <usr13> showoff :)

[12:58] <daxroc> Hey all
[12:58] <daxroc> Getting a strange problem, when im typeing sometimes a keypress will stick or one will be missed entirely anyone seen this before ?
[12:59] <rizzeh> lol ty :)
[12:59] <dr_willis> daxroc,  does it do this in the console? or just terminal> or in word processor? or everywhere?
[12:59] <DJHenjin> if i setup EHCP with mail configuration with my domain name, and i already have an existing email server, will that cause any problems?
[12:59] <daxroc> dr_willis: Everywhere
[12:59] <usr13> daxroc: Yep.  Was bad keyboard, in my case.
[13:00] <dr_willis> daxroc,  as a text. you could try some alternative live cd. like tcl, or even freedos, see if it affects the iother os's as well.  If it affexts them all.. i would have to think its a keyboard hw issue.
[13:00] <dr_willis> as a 'test' :)
[13:00] <dr_willis> cat hasent chewed on the cables?
[13:00] <coz_> :)
[13:01] <daxroc> dr_willis: Sorry, If I switch to a console it doesn't persist
[13:01] <baubun> Hi everyone
[13:01] <coz_> hry
[13:01] <coz_> hey
[13:01] <leagris> Do you know of an alternate good ppa or deb repository for ekiga with support for H.264/263/+ ?
[13:02] <daxroc> dr_willis: All apps in ontop of the xserver get the glitch, You dont configure input devices with a manual xorg.conf anymore right ?
[13:02] <dr_willis> daxroc,  X auto configures for the most part these days
[13:02] <dr_willis> daxroc,  this a laptop? or usb or ps2 keyboard?
[13:03] <daxroc> dr_willis: a usb keyboard, desktop
[13:03] <rrittenhouse> Is there a way to do a repair on Ubuntu?
[13:03] <bazhang> rrittenhouse, repair what
[13:03] <dr_willis> rrittenhouse,  clarify what you  want
[13:04] <rrittenhouse> bazhang: dr_willis: Was upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 and the VM disk filled up so now it kinda works but its in a weird state. I would like to upgrade completely to 10.10
[13:04] <dr_willis> that dosent sound good...
[13:04] <bazhang> rrittenhouse, repair a virtual machine? just reinstall fresh
[13:05] <rrittenhouse> bazhang: true. Its just using LAMP I just wanted to know if there was a 'repair'
[13:05] <caulkz> looking for a snmp viewer to use with adsl router? TIA :)
[13:05] <bazhang> rrittenhouse, vmware vbox, which one
[13:05] <rrittenhouse> vmware esx
[13:05] <Flying> Hey guys
[13:05] <Flying> I have a question
[13:05] <coz_> shoot
[13:05] <bazhang> rrittenhouse, perhaps check their support forums
[13:06] <daxroc> dr_willis: any other suggestions ?
[13:06] <bazhang> caulkz, apt-cache search snmp
[13:06] <usr13> daxroc: Do you have ps2 keyboard port?
[13:06] <coz_> Flying,  what is the question?
[13:06] <caulkz> tried synaptic but no joy :/
[13:06] <dr_willis> daxroc,  not really.  Unless you have a spare keuyboard to test.  check the cables/ plug in differnt port.
[13:07] <rrittenhouse> bazhang: I think its more of an Ubuntu issue? I think it just can't recover from a bad install (which would be tough to do).
[13:08] <bazhang> rrittenhouse, no idea, really. I'd doubt it could be repaired, thus the suggestion for vmare forums
[13:08] <bazhang> +w
[13:08] <dr_willis> if it did get repaired.. how to you really prove it got repaired correctly. you could have some issues next week from it..
[13:08] <caulkz> anyone?
[13:08] <Flying> I bought this new router, it's a D-link something, quite expensive and it's really unstable and shit, I tried upgrading the firmware but I think I already had the latest, the speed randomly goes down to like 50kbps when connecting a third computer(via a switch) and now even with one computer the internet is going down for like 1 min ute every halv hour.
[13:09] <bazhang> caulkz, my command, or packages.ubuntu.com
[13:09] <bazhang> Flying, no cursing please
[13:09] <caulkz> bazhang: cheers :)
[13:09] <Flying> sorry
[13:09] <usr13> Flying: WHat router?  Wireless or Wired?
[13:09] <bazhang> Flying, that sounds completely like a hardware issue, nothing to do with ubuntu
[13:10] <bazhang> ##hardware Flying
[13:10] <Flying> Yeah I know but you guys are good at this
[13:10] <coz_> Flying,  do you have the olde router to test  to be sure it is not the isp  dropping speed every half hour?
[13:10] <bazhang> Flying, no matter its offtopic here
[13:10] <Flying> I'm using an older one which works perfectly
[13:10] <rrittenhouse> bazhang: yeah. Thanks for the suggestions. I could have had the OS about half reinstalled by now ;)
[13:10] <usr13> Flying: Maybe you have some sort of IP conflict?
[13:10] <coz_> Flying,  then I am not sure,, I is unlikely an ubuntu specific issue
[13:10] <Flying> It's both wired and wiereless, i'm only using wired at the moment
[13:11] <bazhang> Flying, its got zero to do with ubuntu.
[13:11] <coz_> Flying,  you could try asking in either ## linux  or  #hardware channels
[13:11] <Flying> oh okay
[13:11] <Flying> I'll do that
[13:11] <coz_> cool
[13:11] <usr13> Flying: Check to see that you do not have IP conflict(s).
[13:11] <Flying> how do I do that lol
[13:11] <Flying> I'm using DHCP
[13:12] <Flying> also I can't join #hardware
[13:12] <usr13> Flying: You just have to go to the various PC to see what IP addres they are using
[13:12] <coz_> Flying,  you need to register your nick
[13:12] <bazhang> usr13, feel free to support him in ##hardware
[13:12] <bazhang> !register | Flying
[13:12] <bazhang> Flying, /join #freenode
[13:13] <Ianster_guy> What channel would be interested in sound upgrade bugs? #ayantana (user experience) ?
[13:13] <Flying> Well you guys were much help
[13:14] <Flying> I'll just go use my Windows now
[13:14] <LjL> Flying: then feel free to come back here to ask a Windows question later!
[13:14] <bazhang> Ianster_guy, alsa issues?
[13:14] <Ianster_guy> yea
[13:14] <coz_> Flying,  register you nick and you will be able to log onto #hardware
[13:14] <usr13> Flying: We wish you all the best.
[13:14] <coz_> Flying,  also ##linux
[13:15] <Ianster_guy> Hello my name is Ian and I'm a Ubuntu/windows user. On my Ubuntu desktop I have a usb surround sound card that stopped working after a upgrade. Who is interested in a problem like this or where do I drop a bug report
[13:15] <Ianster_guy> lol
[13:15] <usr13> !bug | Ianster_guy
[13:16] <DJHenjin> does ubuntu 11.04 have a firewall?
[13:16] <bazhang> DJHenjin, iptables
[13:16] <blz> DJHenjin:  yes, it's called iptables.
[13:16] <prabhakar> i installed mono develop sw ,i am difficult to find visuval design
[13:16] <usr13> DJHenjin: Not by default.  You can install a firewall script or use a firewall if you want.
[13:16] <bazhang> !firewall > DJHenjin
[13:16] <blz> DJHenjin, if you look on google, there are a lot of tutorials and graphical frontends.  There's also UFW, which I believe depends on iptables, but people have good results with that
[13:17] <DJHenjin> holy crap how many people just answered that?
[13:17] <blz> DJHenjin:  welcome to the community =)
[13:18] <blz> usr13:  i believe iptables is installed by default
[13:18] <spass> ufw too
[13:18] <usr13> DJHenjin: If you have a router between you and the internet, you are relatively safe.  Linux not near as vuneralbe as a MS Windows PC.
[13:18] <DJHenjin> ooooohhhh i really like ehcp
[13:18] <spass> blz: and yes, it depends on iptables.
[13:19] <usr13> blz: Yes, you are correct, iptables is installed by default.
[13:19] <usr13> blz: And iptables rules can be used for firewalling.
[13:20] <bazhang> !info gufw
[13:21] <usr13> A firewall for us linux users is basically a firewall script that uses iptables rules which is very effective.
[13:21] <neure> how do i change the menu font size on ubuntu classic?
[13:22] <ciphergoth> Is there a way to kill and restart the Unity launcher?  It keeps getting into various stupid states
[13:22] <neure> i have changed the application font size but menus are not affected
[13:22] <dr_willis> unity --reset
[13:22] <dr_willis> or unity --reset-icons
[13:25] <neure> there seems to be no way to change the menu font size :/
[13:25] <ashwin> when i open kubuntu i am getting:
[13:25] <ashwin> warning :cannot open consolekit session.failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system bus socket no such file or directory
[13:25] <bazhang> ashwin, open kubuntu? as in start up your system?
[13:25] <ashwin> yes
[13:26] <DJHenjin> anyone here use EHCP?
[13:26] <bazhang> DJHenjin, ask a real question please
[13:26] <bazhang> ashwin, normal install? dual boot, some details would help
[13:26] <DJHenjin> anyone here use EHCP that could help me out getting familiarised with it and properly setup?
[13:26] <ashwin> dual boot with windows 7
[13:27] <bazhang> !find ehcp
[13:27] <ashwin> speakers are not working and i cannot connect to internet
[13:27] <ashwin> volume control button is not showing.
[13:27] <ciphergoth> Wow, unity --reset meant that everything started to ignore clicks/keystrokes
[13:27] <bazhang> DJHenjin, how does that relate to ubuntu support
[13:27] <viddy> DJHenjin: how about, first you try it out yourself using documentation and the likes. And then when you actually run into PROBLEMS you could ask someone
[13:27] <ciphergoth> killing and restarting GDM and re-logging in has left me with no Unity launcher at all!
[13:27] <usr13> !sound | ashwin
[13:28] <ciphergoth> No, I tell a lie, launcher has finally reappeared, but broken
[13:28] <ashwin> ubottu:no volume applet
[13:29] <Ianster_guy> lol the bot
[13:30] <Ianster_guy> I suppose I do have a question while a try to file this bug report. When I have two sound cards and my alsa version looks like this Driver version:     1.0.23
[13:30] <Ianster_guy> Library version:    <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:30] <Ianster_guy> Utilities version:  <IP_ADDRESS>                   is it a sign that the versions are not aligned/working?
[13:30] <Ianster_guy> I read somewhere for old ubuntu
[13:31] <Ianster_guy> that they sould all be the same number
[13:31] <DJHenjin> heres a better question, EHCP can replace my existing email server web server MySQL server and FTP server all in one nice package correct?
[13:31] <ashwin> bazhang:my problem statred after update
[13:31] <bazhang> DJHenjin, thats not ubuntu specific try ##networking

[13:36] <ciphergoth> OK now my desktop is really quite screwed
[13:36] <sagaci> How come?
[13:36] <dr_willis> !details
[13:36] <ciphergoth> I moved all compiz related stuff out of  my .gconf/apps dir to try to get back to a sensible state
[13:36] <dr_willis> theres commands to reset compiz. and unity
[13:37] <PiX3L> Guys, accidentally I killed a something notification process from 'System Monitor' now, If I open xchat, vlc I don't see any of icons in Notification manager/top bar.
[13:37] <dr_willis> gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/compiz-1          resets compiz  then this resets uinty -->          unity --reset
[13:37] <PiX3L> I want to restore that feature.
[13:37] <wonka_> xchat works on cygwin?
[13:37] <dr_willis> wonka_,  theres native windows xchat ports
[13:37] <ciphergoth> I'm running Natty Narwahl on x64.  My Launcher is very confused - a few shadowy icons at the top, and that's it.  Running the mouse down the side shows tooltips for icons though
[13:37] <dr_willis> well i guess you can call them native. :)
[13:37] <wonka_> ok
[13:37] <Sidewinder1> PiX3L, Did you try a reboot?
[13:38] <PiX3L> Sidewinder1: Yes.
[13:38] <Sidewinder1> :-(
[13:38] <ciphergoth> not the ones I set up myself, the defaults - LibreOffice calc etc
[13:38] <linux_> я куда попал?)
[13:38] <ciphergoth> dr_willis: will try that, thanks

[13:39] <ciphergoth> dr_willis: I'm back to exactly where I was before
[13:39] <ashwin> i updated my kubuntu 11.04
[13:39] <ashwin> now my speakers are not working and i cannot connect to internet
[13:39] <ashwin> volume control button is not showing.

[13:39] <Clerisy> my window handles have all dissapeared
[13:39] <Clerisy> my window handles have all dissapeared
[13:40] <ciphergoth> Very very odd behaviour.  The tooltips appear where I would expect the icons to be, but far above where the mouse is - the lower the mouse, the greater the disparity
[13:40] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  alt-f2 run 'compiz --replace'
[13:40] <ashwin> i updated my kubuntu
[13:40] <ashwin> now my speakers are not working and i cannot connect to internet
[13:40] <ashwin> volume control button is not showing.
[13:40] <ciphergoth> Is there an equivalent of pastebin for screenshots?
[13:40] <bazhang> ashwin, dont repeat so quickly
[13:41] <Clerisy> dr_willis» still not there
[13:41] <bazhang> ciphergoth, imagebin and the like
[13:41] <Sidewinder1> !enter > ashwin
[13:41] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  try it from a terminal window. look for error messages, try alt-f2 and 'metacity --replace' also
[13:42] <Clerisy> thanks dr_willis :)
[13:42] <Clerisy> all fixed
[13:42] <cba123> I have a computer with a 2.6ghz dual-cpu dual-core xeon.  Whenever I boot up, it says it can't "speedstep", and the fans are always loud.  Is there anything I can do for this?
[13:42] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  meticity is  not exactly a 'fix' its the window manager without all the fancy eyecandy
[13:43] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  compiz requires the proper 3d drivers also. metacity does not.
[13:43] <Clerisy> ah
[13:43]  * ashwin slaps bazhang around a bit with a large trout
[13:43] <bazhang> ashwin, dont do that
[13:43] <ciphergoth> This is what I can see: http://imagebin.org/158724
[13:43] <Clerisy> dr_willis» is there a way i can move the close window minimize and maximize buttons to the right side? (currently at left)
[13:44] <dr_willis> !controls | Clerisy
[13:44] <ciphergoth> it's blank all the way down apart form that detail at the top
[13:44] <Clerisy> ty
[13:44] <ciphergoth> I don't have much config I care about, so I'm happy to wipe and restart, but I don't want to lose eg my IM accounts
[13:45] <Ianster_guy> LOL i'm not that skilled so I always reset gnome to defaults when I have error like that (Using a different metacity -replace that I found on google.)
[13:45] <ciphergoth> I've tried unity --replace and unity --replace-icons and compiz --replace and logging in and out and deleting my compiz config
[13:46] <dr_willis> make a new user - see if it actually works for them
[13:46] <ciphergoth> dr_willis: you mean me?
[13:46] <dr_willis> yes..
[13:46] <ciphergoth> OK
[13:46] <dr_willis> if all users have the same issue.. then its a system wide setting/problem. :)
[13:47] <ciphergoth> That's astonishing - no, it doesn't work for them
[13:47] <Ianster_guy> rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[13:47] <Clerisy> How can I install google chrome under ubuntu? it wont show up in the repos and when i downloaded the deb from google i didn't know what to do from there since i usually use deb package manager. so I tried running it with software manager and it just wouldnt install it
[13:47] <ciphergoth> how can that be?  I haven't changed anything - haven't touched root privs.
[13:47] <Ianster_guy> http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[13:48] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  google has their own repos for it i recall.
[13:48] <ciphergoth> Maybe I should try a reboot
[13:48] <ciphergoth> Clerisy: but also see if "Chromium" meets your needs
[13:48] <dr_willis> if you doload a deb. you normally just douile click on the deb and it can install
[13:48] <Clerisy> ciphergoth» no
[13:48] <dr_willis> !chrome
[13:48] <Clerisy> !chrome
[13:48] <ciphergoth> Will reboot, bbiab, thanks
[13:48] <dr_willis> Chromium and chrome  seem virtuually identical to me these days..
[13:49] <Clerisy> i have configs for gchrome saved
[13:49] <dr_willis> I got my chrome's all 'synced' so every pc has the same configs. :)
[13:49] <ashwin> is there anything like restore point like windows in ubuntu
[13:49] <dr_willis> if its chromium or google chrome. same setup on all my pcs
[13:49] <Clerisy> hmm
[13:49] <wildman> hello there, I'm running 10.04 x86 and I need the 'capability' kernel module, 'modprobe capability' tells me that there's no such module. Compiling a custom kernel is the only solution I have?
[13:49] <Clerisy> any ideas on how i can go about getting chrome?
[13:50] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  google has an acutal repository for chrome you can use
[13:51] <Ianster_guy> love chrome it has everything built in
[13:51] <dr_willis> or download the chrome deb. and inztall it.
[13:51] <dr_willis> I think the .deb insables the proper repos also
[13:51] <dr_willis> http://www.google.com/chrome/eula.html?platform=linux
[13:52] <Clerisy> yeah, I tried
[13:52] <dr_willis>  --> Note: Installing Google Chrome will add the Google repository so your system will automatically keep Google Chrome up to date.
[13:52] <Clerisy> but Im used of using deb package managers
[13:52] <Clerisy> and software manager on ubuntu wont do it
[13:52] <rumen> hi everybody i am under ubuntu 11.04. i have installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS ob vurtualbox-ose. the problem is: how to map or mount from my guest linux machine the shared folder from my host machine linux ubuntu 11.04?
[13:52] <dr_willis> all you do is download the deb.. then double click on it.. or sudo dpkg -i foo.deb
[13:52] <Clerisy> ty
[13:52] <dr_willis> or sudo gdebi foo.deb
[13:53] <dr_willis> software manager should do it also.
[13:54] <Clerisy> Processing triggers for python-support ...

[13:54] <ashwin> is there a restore point in ubuntu?
[13:55] <sagaci> you need to install  extra packages for chrome to install properly
[13:55] <sveinse> Does ubuntu (natty) have any gnome tool for viewing man and info pages?
[13:55] <ciphergoth> a reboot fixed my problem! Of all things, I would never have guessed that6
[13:55] <ciphergoth> what persists across gdm stop/starts but not across reboots?
[13:55] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  what command did you use to isntall it?
[13:55] <Clerisy> dpkg -i
[13:55] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  try installing gdebi, and try it..
[13:55] <Clerisy> said no command
[13:56] <dr_willis> install it....
[13:56] <dr_willis> !info gdebi
[13:56] <Sidewinder1> ashwin, No restore point, per say; you should back-up, then you can "restore"...Afterall that's what restore does in windows. :-)
[13:56] <Clerisy> sudo: gdebi: command not found

[13:58] <rumen> i am usin' virtualbox, i have installed virtual addition in linux ubuntu 10,04 guest machine
[13:58] <dr_willis> you could just access the other system via the networking features. ie: samba/nfs/sshfs
[13:58] <Clerisy> Ok. gdebi worked. Thanks again dr_willis
[13:59] <kontolgede> rumen: install samba
[13:59] <ashwin> is there a way i can restore ubuntu
[13:59] <dr_willis> firtualbox manual details the proper mount command to mount a 'share' from the host os thats set up that way. I dont recall the sysntax
[13:59] <dr_willis> ashwin,  be more clear in what you wan tto do.
[13:59] <ashwin> like restore pint in windows
[13:59] <rumen> i want to use virtual machine ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[13:59] <dr_willis> ashwin,  thers no feature like that   - that i have ever seen.
[14:00] <dr_willis> ashwin,  its normally just not needed.
[14:00] <joru> Hi, i'm trying to configure some automatic backup-strategy, been using crontab for time-driven backup successfully. now i'm wondering if i should use event-driven instead, as in executing the script upon login.
[14:00] <sipior> ashwin: typically such things are accomplished through lvm snapshots, but you'll have to set that up in advance.
[14:01] <joru> what is the "best" approach, use the /etc/.profile file ?
[14:01] <Clerisy> What's the default font? I accidently changed it earlier
[14:01] <ashwin> is there a way i can delete update?
[14:01] <dr_willis> joru,  it would all depend on the details, how, who, how much, and so forth
[14:02] <bazhang> ashwin, rollback? no
[14:02] <sipior> ashwin: reverting a system to a pre-update state would require filesystem snapshots. like i said, if you set up lvm snapshots in advance, you can get that functionality.
[14:02] <ashwin> after update at startup i am getting this warning :cannot open consolekit session.failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system bus
[14:02] <dr_willis> Unless ashwin  is meaning update in a differnt way.
[14:02] <joru> dr_willis: ok, i've got multiple users on multiple computers. right now i've got a strategy for all those users using crontab.
[14:03] <dr_willis> ashwin,  so its a warning? or is there some other actual problem?
[14:03] <zaksoldier> Hi all
[14:03] <bazhang> ashwin, perhaps try in #kubuntu
[14:03] <Clerisy> What's the default font? I accidently changed it earlier
[14:03] <joru> dr_willis: i was wondering if i should run it upon user login (interactive at first), or maybe after a few mins
[14:03] <ashwin> bazhang:they say #ubuntu
[14:04] <dr_willis> joru,  what if the user logs in 4 times in quick session. Like via ssh. :) lots of things to watch out for.
[14:04] <bazhang> ashwin, you said earlier you were using kubuntu when you got this error
[14:04] <sipior> joru: also, do you really want to slow the system down with a lot of disk activity right after a user logs in?
[14:04] <joru> dr_willis: yes both issues are true
[14:04] <Clerisy> d(*⌒▽⌒*)b
[14:05] <dr_willis> joru,  and proberly a dozen other potential issues to watch out for. :)
[14:05] <joru> dr_willis: :) well i just want to secure the data
[14:05] <ashwin> bazhang, i mean users in #kubuntu recomended #ubuntu
[14:05] <joru> dr_willis: problem is that the users login very infrequently
[14:05] <joru> dr_willis: thus time-driven is not "safe"
[14:06] <joru> dr_willis: (i must tell you that im learning bash/cron atm)
[14:06] <Clerisy> What's the default font?
[14:06] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[14:06] <joru> dr_willis: but maybe i could use a script to check when the user data was backuped last
[14:06] <joru> dr_willis: and then act accordingly?
[14:06] <dr_willis> joru,  i think rsync/fsarchiver can allready do that
[14:07] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  i think its the 'ubuntu' font :)
[14:07] <joru> dr_willis: ok, i'll do some more reading of those details
[14:07] <joru> dr_willis: thanx
[14:07] <Clerisy> doesnt look right
[14:07] <ashwin> any one know what causes warning :cannot open consolekit session.failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system bus
[14:07] <bazhang> http://mikebeach.org/2011/06/default-font-packages-installed-on-ubuntu-11-04-natty/ Clerisy
[14:08] <linux_> есть здесь русские?!
[14:08] <dr_willis> ashwin,  is this warning keeping somthing from running? or is there just a warning ane you dont like the text?
[14:08] <ashwin> de_willis:my audio,network connection is not working
[14:09] <bazhang> linux_, in #ubuntu-ru
[14:09] <ericP> linux_, i doubt go
[14:09] <dr_willis> ashwin,  i am not sure those are related to that warning.
[14:09] <ericP> s/go/it/
[14:10] <ashwin> dr_willis:i am getting all these after update
[14:10] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[14:10] <bazhang> linux_, /join #ubuntu-ru
[14:10] <ericP> i'm using compiz with the standard (as in i didn't tweak anything) network controller interface (puts the the wifi icon in the main menu bar)
[14:10] <dr_willis> ashwin,  its possible some update broke things.. but i am not sure that consolekit would be the core of  your problem.
[14:10] <ericP> after a couple days, the menu that comes up when clicking the wifi icon is unresponsive (no meny selections do anything except for [More Netorks] and [VPN Connections], which paint a tiny empty box)
[14:10] <Tetracomm> Ever since I uninstalled Pulseaudio and reinstalled it I don't see a volume control icon in the notification area anymore. Help?
[14:10] <ericP> how do i restart this tool in hopes of restoring network control without having to log out?
[14:10] <ericP> (whatever restarts implied by reinstalling network-manager-gnome didn't do the trick)
[14:10] <ashwin> dr_willis:so what am i suppose to do?
[14:11] <ericP> (occurred after a 10.10 to 11.04 upgrade)
[14:11] <NattyUser> hello, i was wondering if anyone could help me. I am using natty. My problem is that my hp integrated laptop is not working. I've tried troubleshooting, but to no avail. Can anyone help?
[14:11] <Clerisy> none of these look like the default one when i installed it bazhang
[14:11] <bazhang> Clerisy, nonetheless those are the default ones
[14:11] <Clerisy> I think it was sans 10
[14:11] <Clerisy> thanks though
[14:12] <ebytvm> hi room
[14:12] <theadmin> Hello, ebytvm

[14:12] <ebytvm> Im new here... :)..... how do I get into rooms of interest :)
[14:13] <NattyUser> so...does anyone know how to go about troubleshooting the webcam?
[14:13] <bazhang> !alis | ebytvm

[14:13] <ebytvm> thx :)
[14:13] <PythonSnake> hi
[14:14] <PythonSnake> is Ubuntu good for programming with Python ?
[14:14] <bazhang> PythonSnake, sure, why not
[14:14] <PythonSnake> I'm using Windows 7 atm
[14:14] <Kartagis> why do I get No username specified with the line //campus01/mtozses		/mnt/t			  cifs	  user,credentials=/root/.mtozses 0	  0 in /etc/fstab?
[14:14] <PythonSnake> why is it better than windows
[14:14] <bazhang> PythonSnake, thats not really on topic here
[14:15] <PythonSnake> bazhang: ?
[14:15] <NattyUser> hi bazhang, would you mind pointing me in the proper channel/direction regarding my integrated webcam issues?
[14:15] <bazhang> PythonSnake, try it and decide
[14:15] <bazhang> NattyUser, check the webcam link
[14:15] <PythonSnake> ..
[14:15] <sharat87> Hello, my gnome-terminal does not seem to defferentiate between C-z and C-S-z, is there a way I can make it differenciate these two?
[14:15] <slakcphil> slacker_nl, my broskie?
[14:15] <Kartagis> PythonSnake, for one, you can customize ubuntu the way you like and you can't windows
[14:15] <Clerisy> How do I remove this scroll bar thinga-ma-jig?
[14:16] <bazhang> Clerisy, unity? use classic from login window
[14:16] <Clerisy> kk
[14:16] <BluesKaj> PythonSnake, maybe the python channel can help you with your decision
[14:16] <NattyUser> hi bazhang, i did. i tried redownloading uvcvideo modules, but to no avail. i have a chicony webcam, but the problem is that when i open cheese, it says no device found
[14:16] <PythonSnake> hm ok
[14:16] <PythonSnake> thx
[14:17] <ebytvm> :D
[14:18] <ashwin> bazhang:do i need to reinstall kubuntu
[14:19] <ashwin> bazhang:please help
[14:20] <bazhang> ashwin, try creating a new user and testing that way
[14:21] <osmosis_paul> Somebody know if there's any cool application in ubuntu to control the PC by voice???
[14:21] <Clerisy> dr_willis» you were right. The metacity thing was only a temp fix
[14:22] <osmosis_paul> and how go the Kinect implementation in ubuntu some beta to work with it?, i'm thinking in buy a Kinect only if there's any project open
[14:23] <Ianster_guy> Clerisy, The metacity the one I used to fix gnome was permanent.
[14:23] <Clerisy> huh
[14:24] <dr_willis> metacity is not compiz. they are both window managers. but differnt :)
[14:24] <Ianster_guy> but the commands I use are alot longer Google search "reset defaults gnome"
[14:24] <Clerisy> Any idea how to perm fix the problem dr_willis ?
[14:24] <Ianster_guy> some don't work
[14:24] <dr_willis> Clerisy,  run compiz --replace, from a termial. look for error messages..
[14:25] <Kartagis> why do I get No username specified with the line //campus01/mtozses		/mnt/t			  cifs	  user,credentials=/root/.mtozses 0	  0 in /etc/fstab?
[14:25] <Sidewinder1> osmosis_paul, Have a look at pocketsphynx
[14:26] <Ianster_guy> Clerisy, I'm a noob BTW:P

[14:26] <ntr0py> Are there any problems suspected when installing Natty x64 from usb stick (start media creator from iso image)?
[14:27] <dr_willis> ntr0py,  i normally insatll from usb drives..
[14:27] <dr_willis> faster then from cd
[14:27] <tumbes2000> Worked fine for me
[14:28] <ntr0py> dr_willis: exactly, i just had weird kernel freezes last time i tried to do that with natty
[14:28] <tumbes2000> Usb stick install that is

[14:29] <Clerisy> ( ´,_ゝ`)
[14:29] <Clerisy> mfw
[14:32] <ntr0py> dr_willis: Since i always need to set the nomodeset parameter for any fresh ubuntu installs on my box (to get GUI), would you suspect the kernel freezes comming from the X.org or nouveau drivers? I am thinking about installing the nvidia-current drivers from ubuntu-x-swat repo, restarting gdm and trying to install from there...
[14:34] <ashwin> bazang:i created new user but no use
[14:34] <ashwin> bazhang:new user also have same problem
[14:37] <Sidewinder1> ashwin, Perhaps, the best thing to try is back-up all of your video, music, docs., etc...and reinstall ubuntu.
[14:38] <Sidewinder1> ashwin, Or kubuntu, as the case may be.
[14:38] <dlyneswork> I'm having problems getting Ubuntu 10.04 to boot up on a particular machine.  What's getting output to the screen is something to do with AppArmor.  However, I don't believe it's AppArmor that's causing the problem, because it's at a random place in AppArmor every time.  Anyone know what it might be?  Fwiw, the drive checks seem to be complete when this happens.
[14:39] <ashwin> Sidewinder1:is it possible to creater backup of themes and config files
[14:39] <Tetracomm> Ever since I uninstalled Pulseaudio and reinstalled it I don't see a volume control icon in the notification area anymore. Help?
[14:40] <Sidewinder1> ashwin, I'm sure there is but I don't know the exact steps to perform same. :-(...Sorry.
[14:41] <tilerendering> hi - I m on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 - when doing a apt-get install subversion it "leaves" my subversion on version 1.4.6 instead of the current 1.6.* releases. 1.4.6 is the state of 2009. is this normal ? or am I doing something wrong with the apt-get install command
[14:41] <bazhang> tilerendering, thats normal
[14:41] <iceroot> tilerendering: you will only get security updates within an ubuntu-version
[14:41] <dlyneswork> tilerendering, you're stuck with whatever version Hardy uses
[14:41] <tilerendering> oh
[14:41] <iceroot> !backports | tilerendering
[14:42] <bazhang> tilerendering, why not at least upgrade to 10.04 if not 11.04
[14:42] <iceroot> bazhang: never touch a running system :)
[14:42] <ntr0py> Tetracomm: maybe you could try to reset the gnome panel: "gconftool-2 --recursive-unset /apps/panel" and "pkill gnome-panel"
[14:42] <dlyneswork> bazhang, he's on hardy because it's LTS, I'm guessing...and also iceroot's point, too :o
[14:42] <jiltdil> Ny channel for computer architecture?
[14:42] <iceroot> dlyneswork: 10.04 is lts too
[14:42] <Sidewinder1> ashwin, I know it's after the fact, but, the best way to avoid this problem in the future is to back-up your home directory to an external drive; that way a reinstall will retain all of your settings and configs; once you have copied your home to the new install.
[14:42] <bazhang> !alis | jiltdil
[14:43] <dlyneswork> iceroot, yeah...but like you said...if it ain't broke, don't fix it
[14:43] <bazhang> dlyneswork, 10.04 is lts
[14:43] <ZykoticK9> Tetracomm, see if there is a gnome-audio package in Ubuntu, it "might" help.  Good luck.
[14:43] <Maimster> Morning all.
[14:43] <iceroot> tilerendering: but remeber, hardy 8.04 desktop version is out of security updates
[14:44] <tilerendering> how would I enable hardy backports in /etc/apt/sources.list
[14:44] <omegaphi> hi folks, I am using phpmyadmin on ubuntu, but it is asking me to enter username and password, when I have set no password. What do I do? Please help :)
[14:44] <dlyneswork> iceroot, what's the difference between the normal version, desktop version, laptop version, and server version, anyways?  Just what packages get installed?
[14:45] <iceroot> dlyneswork: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted
[14:45] <bazhang> tilerendering, sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the # in front
[14:45] <jrib> !repos > tilerendering
[14:45] <tilerendering> thanks
[14:45] <iceroot> dlyneswork: desktop comes without a gui and with a pae-kernel by default.
[14:45] <iceroot> dlyneswork: sorry, server
[14:45] <iceroot> dlyneswork: but they all use the same repos
[14:45] <Kartagis> why do I get No username specified with the line //campus01/mtozses		/mnt/t			  cifs	  user,credentials=/root/.mtozses 0	  0 in /etc/fstab?
[14:45] <bazhang> dlyneswork, as of 11.04 the netbook is no more
[14:45] <dlyneswork> iceroot, ah...so that's the only difference
[14:46] <iceroot> dlyneswork: between server and desktop, yes
[14:46] <bazhang> dlyneswork, its unity all the way down
[14:46] <tilerendering> any recommandable hardy backport repository ?
[14:46] <dlyneswork> bazhang, that's good...I think someone gave me one of those installs, and it gave me a completely fubared install...never rebooted properly...always had to do a full shutdown, followed by a power up
[14:46] <iceroot> tilerendering: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main universe multiverse restricted
[14:46] <tilerendering> becasue there are none in my plist
[14:46] <Kartagis> *sigh*
[14:46] <bazhang> tilerendering, check iceroot above
[14:47] <dlyneswork> bazhang, something to do with unloading the kernel and reloading the kernel
[14:47] <tilerendering> oh
[14:47] <tilerendering> thanks iceroot
[14:47] <iceroot> tilerendering: no problem
[14:48] <obscurant1st> my system sometime, logs off on its own! :o
[14:49] <JoFo> Hello everybody.
[14:49] <JoFo> I wonder whether gucharmap (Ubuntu’s default character map in the version with Gnome) has been updated to support the new Unicode 6.0 characters.
[14:49] <JoFo> If that’s so, would it be possible to easily update gucharmap while remaining on Maverick ?
[14:50] <bazhang> JoFo, search for a ppa I suppose
[14:50] <iceroot> JoFo: ppa or backports
[14:50] <omegaphi> *reposting*  I am using phpmyadmin on ubuntu, but it is asking me to enter username and password, when I have set no password. What do I do? Please help :)
[14:50] <iceroot> omegaphi: its the mysql-user
[14:51] <natrixnatrix89> hello. I'm running ubuntu on a very slow pc. Is there a list of processes I could kill to make it run faster?
[14:51] <iceroot> omegaphi: normally root with a password (not the root from ubuntu)
[14:51] <iceroot> natrixnatrix89: you can see with "top" and "ps aux" waht is running but killing randomly is a bad idea
[14:51] <bazhang> natrixnatrix89, why not try lubuntu-desktop then
[14:51] <compdoc> natrixnatrix89, just curious - is it slow to boot?
[14:51] <usr13> natrixnatrix89: X
[14:51] <natrixnatrix89> not really
[14:52] <natrixnatrix89> the pc is decent.
[14:52] <tilerendering> oh
[14:52] <natrixnatrix89> but when I bought it, it was one of the cheapest
[14:52] <bazhang> natrixnatrix89, ubuntu is not really designed for slow, old or low ram computers
[14:52] <tilerendering> I forgot: how do I mv a whole dir with the mv command ?
[14:52] <usr13> natrixnatrix89: Are you running gnome?
[14:52] <natrixnatrix89> yep
[14:52] <natrixnatrix89> gnome
[14:52] <natrixnatrix89> what is lubuntu using?
[14:52] <usr13> natrixnatrix89: xfce4
[14:52] <compdoc> does anyone find that 11.04 is slow to boot on old PCs?
[14:52] <omegaphi> iceroot : but I didn't create any mysql user too, everything is default!
[14:53] <ZykoticK9> natrixnatrix89, lubuntu uses LXDE
[14:53] <usr13> compdoc: natrixnatrix89 does
[14:53] <natrixnatrix89> faster than xfce?
[14:53] <bazhang> natrixnatrix89, you could try xubuntu, but that is hardly any lighter, lubuntu is the best bet
[14:53] <ZykoticK9> natrixnatrix89, much
[14:53] <natrixnatrix89> cool
[14:53] <The_Pugilist> anyone know of any good free C++ IDE's
[14:53] <natrixnatrix89> so I can just install package lubuntu-desktop, and then just switch to it when logging in?
[14:53] <jpainter> natrixnatrix89: switching window managers helps a lot...try openbox.
[14:54] <bazhang> natrixnatrix89, install the package lubuntu-desktop
[14:54] <xokvictor> hi all, i have a problem
[14:54] <bazhang> xokvictor, then ask a question
[14:54] <natrixnatrix89> bazhang: so I can just install package lubuntu-desktop, and then just switch to it when logging in?
[14:54] <iceroot> omegaphi: then its root with an empty password
[14:54] <bazhang> natrixnatrix89, yep
[14:54] <natrixnatrix89> thanks
[14:55] <bazhang> !ide | The_Pugilist
[14:55] <bazhang> The_Pugilist, they are all free
[14:55] <xokvictor> when i look flash movies online (for example youtube) after some minutes the screen make black and pc locked
[14:55] <bazhang> xokvictor, disable compiz for one
[14:55] <The_Pugilist> sweet :)
[14:55] <The_Pugilist> ty bazhang
[14:56] <xokvictor> bazhang, nooooo )
[14:56] <bazhang> xokvictor, and set screensaver to a longer time
[14:56] <xokvictor> this is bad way
[14:56] <xokvictor> bazhang,
[14:56] <bazhang> xokvictor, try it
[14:57] <MK``> I'm installing VLC but its progress in the software center seems to be stuck at 50%... how can I check if it's stuck due to some bug?
[14:57] <xokvictor> in  Windows when i looking online movies screensaver is not locked pc
[14:57] <bazhang> xokvictor, that means nothing, this is not windows
[14:58] <xokvictor> i know, but.. i want this function in ubuntu
[14:58] <xokvictor> bazhang,
[14:58] <bazhang> xokvictor, then follow my suggestions
[14:58] <jbennett-home> t
[14:58] <usr13> natrixnatrix89: I recommend lubuntu-desktop  It is a lot like gnome anyway.  It's pretty nice and very fast.
[14:59] <natrixnatrix89> yeah. I'm downloading it now
[14:59] <natrixnatrix89> thanks
[14:59] <xokvictor> bazhang, if i looking movie more than 40 minutes.. i need set sreensaver in >40 min?
[15:00] <bazhang> xokvictor, try it and see
[15:00] <xokvictor> ok, thank you
[15:00] <xokvictor> bazhang,
[15:00] <MK``> Please, I need help to know if this is frozen, and if I can safely kill it
[15:00] <bazhang> MK``, what does top in terminal show
[15:01] <MK``> Software center is on top, seems to be doing something.
[15:01] <MK``> I am just scared it's stuck in a loop
[15:01] <usr13> MK``: May be just that the download has been sopped for some reason.
[15:01] <bazhang> MK``, let it error out, or wait a bit longer, then try from command line
[15:02] <MK``> It's at "Applying changes"
[15:02] <bazhang> MK``, then dont kill it
[15:02] <MK``> ok.
[15:02] <usr13> MK``: vlc is pretty complicate app
[15:04] <MK``> It's just been like this for almost 10 minutes without the bar moving
[15:04] <bazhang> MK``, killing it now may break some packages
[15:05] <MK``> Is there some failsafe to abort after a certain time?
[15:05] <jpainter> MK``, in my experience it takes a good long while until it finally times out, but it eventually will.
[15:05] <MK``> ok
[15:06] <MK``> :O I closed the software center (just the UI) and reopened it and the bar was farther along, and is now moving
[15:06] <MK``> ...and it finished instantly. Touche, Linux.
[15:09] <sungji> hi, unfoortunately I've got to use the "acerhk" driver to enable the WIFI of my Fujitsy AMILO laptop. I was using acerhkgui before (in 9.10) but with natty it doesn't seem to work correctly
[15:09] <sungji> do you have any idea on how to enable acerhk wifi?
[15:10] <omegaphi> iceroot : root with empty password isn't working :(
[15:11] <iceroot> omegaphi: set a mysql password
[15:11] <iceroot> omegaphi: imo phpmyadmin is not allowing the default root with empty password
[15:12] <iceroot> omegaphi: phpmyadmin is using the same credentials as "mysql -u root -p"
[15:12] <omegaphi> iceroot : how do I set a mysql password?

[15:12] <codinGenesis> i was banned because of open proxy thing....!!!

[15:14] <iceroot> omegaphi: mysqladmin -u root password NEWPASSWORD
[15:15] <iceroot> omegaphi: better is to write the password in a file and use mysqladmin -u root password $(cat file-with-password)  or delete the history-entry after
[15:16] <Klunk> Hi guys, is anyone here running Lord of the Ring Online through wine on Ubuntu?
[15:17] <iceroot> !appdb | Klunk
[15:17] <Klunk> ok thanks, I can get the app running but have a few issues, I will give that a try
[15:18] <sungji> sudo lshw -C network finds my AR5001 wireless network adapter, and says it's *-network DISABLED <-- how can I enable it?
[15:19] <tilerendering> ok all work done - almost.
[15:19] <omegaphi> iceroot : I think my mysql server isn't running, what's the command to do it?
[15:19] <tilerendering> now the only thing which is worrying me is that I run subversion 1.5.1 instead of the current 1.6.17.
[15:19] <inashdeen> Hi guys, I need an advice on how to do this. I just wrote a really simple program using the BUC programming language. I am a newbie who does not have any background in programming. I don’t know how to write in python, jav a nor C+. the question is, how do I convert my created software into a .deb package. Its dependencies are BUC programming language and the logkyeys. But I want to make it an offline installation since I alread
[15:19] <tilerendering> should I use a different backport repo ?
[15:19] <tilerendering> it upgraded, but not far enough
[15:20] <edbian> sungji: I'm not sure if it's just not turned on or if the driver is missing.  Can you pastebin lspci -k for me?
[15:20] <wonka_> xchat is troubling me
[15:20] <sungji> edbian: yeah, hang on :)
[15:21] <edbian> sungji: sure
[15:21] <Klunk> Guys is this the place to resolve issues with nvidia drivers as well?
[15:21] <BluesKaj> Klunk, what issue ?
[15:21] <iceroot> omegaphi: what ubuntu version?
[15:21] <inashdeen_> Hi guys, I need an advice on how to do this. I just wrote a really simple program using the BUC programming language. I am a newbie who does not have any background in programming. I don’t know how to write in python, jav a nor C+.
[15:22] <inashdeen_> the question is, how do I convert my created software into a .deb package. Its dependencies are BUC programming language and the logkyeys. But I want to make it an offline installation since I already got the logkeys source as well as the BUC .deb.
[15:22] <omegaphi> iceroot : 10
[15:22] <iceroot> inashdeen_: man debhelper
[15:22] <edbian> inashdeen: Knowing other programming languages or not will not be an issue.  (it's c++ by the way, not c+)    Making a debian package (unfortunately) is not easy: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
[15:22] <iceroot> omegaphi: sudo service mysql start   or maybe sudo service mysql-server start
[15:22] <braiam> why my keyring deposit isn't unblocked at login? is annoying write my pass 4 times
[15:23] <iceroot> inashdeen_: with dh_make its relativ easy to build your own deb
[15:23] <Klunk> Well I am running natty and the Addition Drivers keeps telling me the driver is activated but not in use. I have installed the latest driver from the Nvidia site and I get graphics. But I want to make sure I am using the correct driver
[15:23] <Klunk> how can I check
[15:23] <inashdeen_> edbian : and what is the differencib and usr/sharee between /usr/l
[15:23] <iceroot> braiam: auto-login? key-ring has the same password as the user-password?
[15:23] <edbian> inashdeen_: /usr/l/  ?  That's not a thing
[15:23] <sungji> edbian: http://pastebin.com/5ZW7MqKY
[15:23] <inashdeen_> edbian : and what is the difference between /usr/lib and usr/share. sorry
[15:24] <braiam> iceroot: no, i don't use auto login, and yes is the same
[15:24] <edbian> sungji: It says we're using ath5k  Can you run sudo iwlist scan for me?  What does it say ?  (just summarize please)
[15:25] <introuble> in office 2010 . theres no powerpoint ?
[15:25] <Wolfsherz> hi, can someone please help me with my graphic issues? catalyst control center reports, that i have an ati mobility radeon hd 4200 installed at my laptop. but there is a mobility radeon hd 5650 installed. it also reports i have got 320 mb of video ram, but installed is 1gb dedicated... graphic performance is overall slow and windows stutter when dragging them.
[15:25] <sungji> edbian: for lo, eth0 it says" Interface doesn't support scanning.
[15:25] <omegaphi> iceroot : http://codepad.org/HJpwRrf5 :(
[15:25] <sungji> edbian: for wlan0 it says: Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[15:26] <edbian> inashdeen_: /usr/share/ is platform independent stuff.  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/HighQuality-Apps-HOWTO/fhs.html
[15:26] <iceroot> omegaphi: output of "ps aux | grep mysql"
[15:26] <edbian> sungji: I think the driver is not working.  Can you pastebin lsmod ?  It will show me if the card is actually using ath5k or not
[15:27] <omegaphi> iceroot : http://codepad.org/bB8FHYdy
[15:28] <iceroot> omegaphi: you have not installed mysql-server thrugh apt-get
[15:28] <mgj> the opensshd server (service) is installed by default in the newest ubuntu, yes?
[15:28] <shishirdwivedi20> ubuntu runs exactly same command as red hat linux ?
[15:28] <iceroot> !repo | omegaphi
[15:28] <iceroot> mgj: no
[15:28] <mgj> iceroot, no? okay, thanks
[15:28] <iceroot> mgj: only on the server-edition
[15:28] <mgj> oh okay
[15:28] <iceroot> shishirdwivedi20: on bash, yes, rest no
[15:29] <Abhijit> hi
[15:29] <sungji> edbian: http://pastebin.com/u8CcJKcs
[15:29] <inashdeen> edbian: so where do i actually install the software. and how do i get it automatically recorded on menu registry??
[15:29] <Abhijit> whats the cd command to go up one directory?
[15:29] <iceroot> omegaphi: best is to remove your mysql-installation and use "sudo apt-get install mysql-server"
[15:29] <iceroot> Abhijit: cd ..
[15:29] <shishirdwivedi20> iceroot : you are talking about command line interface
[15:29] <iceroot> shishirdwivedi20: the bash, yes
[15:29] <Abhijit> iceroot, thanks
[15:29] <edbian> inashdeen: The actual binaries go in /usr/bin and /usr/lib/
[15:30] <beli> hi there...while trying to install 11.04 32bit from an usb cdrom i get this error: Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (8,1)...any ideas?
[15:30] <sungji> edbian: I also modprobed acer_wmi ...
[15:30] <shishirdwivedi20> iceroot  : thanx for help coz i am learning on CLI mode  red hat
[15:30] <sungji> edbian: used by 0 is not good, right?
[15:30] <edbian> sungji: I'm guessing that's bad, yes
[15:30] <iceroot> shishirdwivedi20: #redhat
[15:31] <shishirdwivedi20> iceroot  yes i am learning redhat
[15:31] <iceroot> shishirdwivedi20: and if you want to lean bash use #bash
[15:31] <codinGenesis> guys i was banned due to open proxy so pls confirm that u all can hear me....
[15:31] <omegaphi> iceroot : I did this yeasterday
[15:31] <omegaphi> iceroot : yesterday*
[15:31] <sungji> edbian:hm what do I do now?
[15:31] <Pici> codinGenesis: Yes, we read you.
[15:31] <iceroot> omegaphi: the line you posted is not an apt-get installation
[15:31] <edbian> sungji: I'm thinking and researching.  Hang on.
[15:31] <sungji> edbian: oh ok, thanks for doing this
[15:32] <omegaphi> iceroot : how do I uninstall it? from synaptic pack. manager?
[15:32] <codinGenesis> Pici: Thanks !!! :) :) :) :) :)
[15:32] <edbian> sungji: sure
[15:32] <codinGenesis> really glad to be back.......
[15:32] <iceroot> omegaphi: i dont know, i dont know where your mysql-installation came from
[15:34] <inashdeen> edbian : so do i install my software into usr/share or usr/bin ???
[15:34] <jswensen> I have probably installed Ubuntu 100 times and have never seen this problem.  I am trying to boot off the standard install CD.  I am unable to select the options for booting as a live cd, installing, or checking the media.  I can, however, select the memory check and boot to hd option.  This is a newer Dell laptop.  Any suggestions?
[15:34] <edbian> inashdeen: You do if you're using the debian package.
[15:35] <edbian> inashdeen: If you're doing a manual installation then you put it in /usr/local/bin/
[15:35] <PiX3L> Guys, Accidentally, I killed a Process from System Monitor, it was something related to notifications. From that time, I'm not getting any notifications on the top-bar. It doesn't shows me any apps icons. like VLC, XCHAT or even the Active Connection. Except that, everything is working as a fresh install. I'd restarted my system later but it's still the same. I want to restore the system. Please, tell me if there's any solution.
[15:35] <edbian> sungji: Mmmm.  The documentation I'm finding says to use ath5k:  http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/ath5k/devices?highlight=%28ar242x%29
[15:35] <beli> jwheare: verify md5 sum of your download
[15:35] <edbian> sungji: Still researching
[15:35] <beli> s/jwheare/jswenson/
[15:35] <inashdeen> edbian : next, where di i cd .desktop file to make it appear automatically in the menu system?
[15:35] <edbian> sungji: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[15:36] <edbian> inashdeen: I don't know.  You'll have to figure that one out on your own.
[15:36] <sungji> edbian: it says: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not possible due to RF-kill
[15:36] <jswensen> beli: It is the same CD I used on an install just a week ago on a different machine
[15:37] <clusterfusk> My girlfriend decided not to wait for my instructions to burn a disc image.  Instead, she put the freaking 180MB .iso file on the disc, wasting her last CD.  after ubuntu has written files from the integrated drag'n'drop interface, is it possible to write a disc image to the same disc as multi-session, deactivating the previously written track?
[15:37] <inashdeen> hi, anyone know where do i put a .desktop file in ubuntu to make it appear in the menu? i want to make it ( kinda) automatic installation rather than right click on the menu and edit menus
[15:37] <ytoox> join irc.freenode.org
[15:38] <edbian> sungji: sudo iwconfig
[15:38] <Gnea> clusterfusk: if it's a CDR, no
[15:38] <sungji> edbian: i did: sudo rfkill unblock 0 and 1
[15:38] <sungji> edbian: now it works
[15:38] <sungji> :)
[15:38] <sungji> edbian: also, I found this: http://axcoto.com/blog/article/tag/siocsifflags-operation-not-possible-due-to-rf-kill
[15:38] <edbian> sungji: I just found that too: http://axcoto.com/blog/article/tag/siocsifflags-operation-not-possible-due-to-rf-kill
[15:38] <edbian> sungji: horray!
[15:38] <clusterfusk> Gnea: Are we clear on what a multi-session disc is?
[15:38] <edbian> stop that!
[15:39] <edbian> creepy
[15:39] <n0gear> how can i edit desktop switcher settings? need all dtops to be in same line, so i can use just two key combos to go left and right. Dont want go down or up at all
[15:39] <edbian> ...
[15:39] <sungji> edbian: :)
[15:39] <PiX3L> Guys, Accidentally, I killed a Process from System Monitor, it was something related to notifications. From that time, I'm not getting any notifications on the top-bar. It doesn't shows me any apps icons. like VLC, XCHAT or even the Active Connection. Except that, everything is working as a fresh install. I'd restarted my system later but it's still the same. I want to restore the system. Please, tell me if there's any solution.
[15:39] <Gnea> clusterfusk: are you clear on the difference between a CDR and CDRW is?
[15:39] <MACscr> ok, so i added a ppa using add-apt-repository, but now i found out it doesnt have a natty repo. For some reason though ppa-purge cant find it, but its still showing the error for the ppa when i run apt-get update
[15:39] <rypervenche> PiX3L: Just restart
[15:39] <PiX3L> rypervenche: I had several restarts.
[15:39] <sungji> edbian: this laptop does have a fn+1 mechanism to enable WIFI. is it possible to automate the loading during boot?
[15:39] <clusterfusk> Gnea: you can't erase a CD-R, which is not what I'm trying to do.
[15:40] <PiX3L> rypervenche: That didn't work.
[15:40] <edbian> sungji: It should remember the state of that button.  I suspect you hit it (on accident) or something and we just turned it back on using rfkill
[15:40] <Gnea> clusterfusk: once the laser has written the final burn instruction, the CDR is done. there is no changing.
[15:40] <lostern> How do I use the install cd as a recovery cd?
[15:40] <MACscr> Gnea: you can do multi sessions on a disc if you dont close it out
[15:41] <Wolfsherz> hi, can someone please help me with my graphic issues? catalyst control center reports, that i have an ati mobility radeon hd 4200 installed at my laptop. but there is a mobility radeon hd 5650 installed. it also reports i have got 320 mb of video ram, but installed is 1gb dedicated... graphic performance is overall slow and windows stutter when dragging them.
[15:41] <MACscr> you just cant write over already used areas
[15:41] <Gnea> MACscr: but will he be able to boot with it into the OS?
[15:41] <zertyuio> hello there
[15:41] <zertyuio> what is the default mail server on ubuntu ?
[15:41] <sungji> edbian: pushing the button on "AcerHK GUI" enables the wlan led... unfortunately, i don't know what it exactly loads when the button is pressed
[15:41] <MACscr> Gnea: probably not. No reason to do multisession on a boot disc
[15:42] <Gnea> MACscr: sounds of slashdot had that feature
[15:42] <clusterfusk> Gnea: Please read this and refrain from trying to answer questions that you don't know about: http://www.osta.org/technology/cdqa2.htm
[15:42] <edbian> sungji: The button affects rfkill is my guess (rfkill just blocks it from running)
[15:42] <Gnea> clusterfusk: consider taking your attitude out the door and never asking again.
[15:43] <clusterfusk> Gnea: what attitude?  I'm telling you to stop giving wrong answers.  You can leave yourself if you're going to be counterproductive.
[15:44] <Abhijit> which library to install for the package 'lua'? i searched in synpatic and it gives lots of result but which one to install?
[15:44] <Abhijit> it is needed for enlightenment
[15:44] <sungji> edbian: oh ok thank you very much for your help and time!   is it possible to do "rfkill unblock #" during boot?
[15:45] <edbian> sungji: It's just a terminal command so you could write a script and have it run at boot time.  I suspect you wont' need to though.
[15:45] <Gnea> clusterfusk: the fact that you're calling me out on it is inappropriate. I don't have to leave, I've been here for years helping people. If you can't accept the fact that I already changed and realized what it is you're talking about, then it is you that has the problem. I won't tell you again.
[15:45] <bobo123> i'm trying to make a bash script for login-ing users, but how do i check if the user exists on the system or not?
[15:45] <edbian> awkward...
[15:45] <edbian> bobo123: They will be listed in /etc/passwd
[15:46] <bobo123> edbian, yes i can get that, but how to check if the password is good or fake?
[15:46] <edbian> bobo123: You wanna replace the login program?  What are you trying to change about it?
[15:47] <wirrr> does anyone use mldonkey/can anyone recommend a good p2p client program?
[15:47] <bobo123> edbian, yes i want to replace it i'm doing a simple program for doing some calculations and i want the user to login again in order to do the calculations
[15:48] <mastertheknife> I love unity, but i have a question.. for example the home button in the unity toolbar, how can i open it more than once?
[15:48] <bobo123> edbian, is there a function how to check if a user/password combination is ok or not?
[15:48] <iceroot> wirrr: transmission (torrent)
[15:48] <mastertheknife> Also, in unity, if i drag the terminal to the unity toolbar, its missing its icon
[15:48] <edbian> bobo123: I'm not sure.  I've never done that.  I think you hash what they type (somehow) and then compare it to what's in /etc/shadow
[15:48] <edbian> bobo123: I am not aware of some library but maybe there is
[15:48] <beli> bobo123: login shell is defined in /etc/passwd
[15:48] <sungji> edbian: just rebooted, and I had to manually enable it again. So, everything in init.d is triggered on boot time, right?
[15:49] <edbian> sungji: yes.  use update-rc.d /path/to/file.sh default
[15:49] <VSpike> Home come when I start a ghome-terminal, the bash it runs is not a login shell, does not have a login shell as a parent, yet it seems to have stuff set that can only come from /etc/profile and /etc/bash.bashrc ?
[15:49] <wirrr> iceroot: i do not want just torrents. i want gnutella2 and everything that like limewire uses
[15:49] <edbian> sungji: In the file put #!/bin/bash  and on the second line rfkill whatever
[15:50] <edbian> sungji: Does that make sense? Have you ever made a bash script before?  Maybe I'm going to fast.
[15:50] <Abhijit> which library to install for the package 'lua'? i searched in synpatic and it gives lots of result but which one to install?
[15:50] <Abhijit> ??
[15:50] <sungji> edbian: uhm.. kinda :) but it  makes sense yes
[15:51] <edbian> sungji: first let's make the script and run it.  Then we'll worry about making it run at boot time.
[15:51] <VSpike> sungji: simple stuff oyu can put in /etc/rc.local
[15:51] <oCean> Abhijit: ? lua is in the repositories and should pull all necessary dependencies
[15:51] <VSpike> sungji: just sudo nano /etc/rc.local and add it at the end
[15:51] <edbian> VSpike: sungji true, but this is good practice ;)
[15:51] <Abhijit> oCean, i dont have lua installed. so i want to install it. for this i searched it in synaptic by typing lua. but it gives so many result. so which one i shoud install?
[15:52] <oCean> Abhijit: I think you are referring to the package lua5.1
[15:52] <oCean> !info lua5.1
[15:53] <Abhijit> oCean, i need it for enlightenment
[15:53] <Abhijit> oCean, lua5.1 is installed already
[15:53] <wirrr> can anyone recommend a p2p client for gnutella2 networks and all the other kinds that like shareaza connects to, or send me an informative link
[15:54] <clusterfusk> I'll rephrase my question to make sure only those who know what's going on will answer.  Does Ubuntu's Nautilus-integrated cd burner "finalize" so the disc can't be written to again, or just "fix" the disc so it can be written to again as multi-session?
[15:55] <sanesto> hello, is there a way to show messages like tail -f /var/log/messages with highlighting a specific words? i know i could pipe it to grep, but grep will show me only the lines contains words, and what i want is to have all the logs but highlighting specific words
[15:55] <sanesto> thanks
[15:56] <sergiosanche> umm...
[15:56] <pythonirc101> what is the gui for network management in ubuntu?\
[15:56] <lostern> How do I use the install cd as a recovery cd?
[15:56] <oCean> Abhijit: you're installing from source? enlightment?
[15:56] <Abhijit> oCean, yes
[15:56] <sergiosanche> sanesto, try tail -f /var/log/messages | egrep --color=auto [whatever]
[15:56] <Wolfsherz> hi, can someone please help me with my graphic issues? catalyst control center reports, that i have an ati mobility radeon hd 4200 installed at my laptop. but there is a mobility radeon hd 5650 installed. it also reports i have got 320 mb of video ram, but installed is 1gb dedicated... graphic performance is overall slow and windows stutter when dragging them. if no one knows an answer, maybe someone knows where to ask?
[15:57] <sungji> edbian: it says: warning: /etc/init.d/wifiscript.sh missing LSB information
[15:58] <usr13> Wolfsherz: Well, sounds like wrong video driver is loading.
[15:58] <oCean> Abhijit: I don't know what it is looking for. The enlightment people should know I think. Last suggestion try liblua5.1-0-dev
[15:59] <Wolfsherz> usr13: i istalled the proprietary driver ubuntu recommends
[15:59] <Abhijit> oCean, okay i am asking in enlightemnet channel but its dead
[15:59] <magnetron> hi! my HDD gets very hot, where can i read about configuring hdd spindown in an ubuntu-aware way?
[15:59] <magnetron> (for a laptop)
[15:59] <oCean> Abhijit: ah ok.
[16:00] <Patrunjel> hi guys, I had Ubuntu installed on my PC, and now I installed Windows XP (they are on different partitions), but now it just boots XP, i mean, GRUB does not appear so I can choose where to boot from. Can someone please help me out with this? :D
[16:00] <ZykoticK9> !grub | Patrunjel
[16:00] <nibbler_> !grub | Patrunjel
[16:02] <Patrunjel> ZykoticK9, nibbler_  It's not from GRUB, it's because of the (lame) Windows boot loader, but I don't really know where to ask. I have encountered this problem before, but I don't remember what were the commands to solve it (I'm not a Windows user, it's for mom :D)
[16:03] <ZykoticK9> Patrunjel, did you read the link?  "Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub"
[16:03] <magnetron> Patrunjel: the factoid you got has a link for reinstalling grub after windows broke it
[16:04] <Patrunjel> ZykoticK9, magnetron Sorry guys, my bad :D (thanks for the help)
[16:04] <RA_drc> hi, i'm running natty narwhal, and when i try and drop the text editor into the launch bar, it doesn't stay in there.  why is this?
[16:04] <Wisien> hi what are available file managers for ubuntu ?
[16:06] <ZykoticK9> Wisien, besides Nautilus there is also Thunar, PCManFM, GNOME Commander, ROX-Filer
[16:06] <Abhijit> Wisien, search in the ubuntu software center by word file manager
[16:07] <vivekrp> Guys anyone know what is phpMyAdmin's default username in xampp (lampp) ??
[16:07] <Wisien> thanks, i need intuitive file manager like in windows or similar to total commander
[16:08] <geshp> vivekrp:pma
[16:08] <usr13> Wisien: What is intuitive about MS Windows' file manager?
[16:09] <vivekrp> geshp: Tried it. But getting "Cannot log in to the MySQL server". Whats default password?
[16:09] <usr13> Wisien: What is intuitive about explore?
[16:09] <Wisien> usage, its user friendly
[16:09] <geshp> vivekrp:i dont think it sets a pass by default
[16:09] <ZykoticK9> Wisien, "unix is user friendly as well, it's just picky about who it's friends are" ;)
[16:10] <killoww> hi everyone, is there anyone that wouldn't mind wasting a few seconds of their life (lol) helping me out choose a netbook? (i dont think this could be on topic here if so please just tell me i dont want to bother anyone) i'm looking at a few brands but now i'm really concerned about build and compatibility with linux, looks like the hardware is mainly the same but im really having some paranoia right now lol
[16:10] <vivekrp> geshp: Yes. I set it using /opt/lampp/lampp security and gave and password. Now when tried to login using pma and password its not working
[16:10] <Wisien> unix can be hard to learn it has lots of commands and manuals
[16:10] <afroman> hello. how do I enter the system using usb device with Ubuntu and a terminal?
[16:10] <usr13> Wisien: Since MS Windows relies so heavily on file extensions and explore hides those extensions, I find it somewhat less than intuitive.
[16:10] <edbian> usr13: That is extremely annoying
[16:11] <edbian> Wisien: But the file manager is GUI.  There are no commands
[16:11] <usr13> edbian: I'm sorry.  I'll try to control my comments :(
[16:11] <saml> is there full desktop zoom without compiz?
[16:11] <Wisien> yes
[16:11] <edbian> usr13: No no.  I agree with you.  Windows relying on file extensions is extremely annoying
[16:11] <saml> Wisien, what is it?  i don't like compiz
[16:11] <mgj> Wireless touble: Using a Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, when i try to do 'sudo iwlist wlan0 scan' i get: Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down
[16:12] <afroman> what do I do with grub-rescue_
[16:12] <yunosh> hi, how can i find out with apt/aptitude from which source a suggested package update is coming from?
[16:12] <afroman> ?
[16:12] <saml> i want to use different window manager.. but i like full desktop zoom
[16:12] <oCean> yunosh: apt-cache policy packagename
[16:12] <usr13> Wisien: What is wrong with the default file manager you are seeing now?
[16:12] <edbian> mgj: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[16:12] <yunosh> oCean: thanks
[16:12] <edbian> usr13: You're not annoying me at all :)
[16:12] <mgj> edbian, SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[16:12] <usr13> edbian: I know, was just kidding .....
[16:12] <xcc112> Hi all!
[16:13] <afroman> anybody_
[16:13] <geshp> vivekrp:why not just reset the pass in mysql query?
[16:13] <Wisien> nothing wrong , i look at the windows gui and ubuntu ...
[16:13] <afroman> ?
[16:13] <edbian> mgj: You need to get a driver for your card. What card / chipset do you have?
[16:13] <vivekrp> geshp: Code?
[16:13] <mgj> edbian, from what i can find on google, it *should* be supported. Its a Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
[16:13] <usr13> Wisien: Once you learn a little more about Linux, you will realize it's not difficult, just different.
[16:14] <vivekrp> geshp: I mean command?
[16:14] <mgj> edbian, if it did not have a driver, i shouldn't see it when i do 'iwconfig'.... correct?
[16:14] <edbian> mgj: agreeed.  What driver is listed for it in sudo lspci -k   ?
[16:14] <ZykoticK9> vivekrp, xampp shouldn't really be supported in this channel, as Ubuntu provides the same packages - but you've chosen to use a 3rd party instead
[16:14] <Wisien> yes, it has other philosophy than win
[16:14] <fddgdfgfdg> hello
[16:14] <edbian> mgj: Is it showing up in iwconfig?
[16:14] <mgj> yea
[16:14] <fddgdfgfdg> i have a problem with indicator clock, it doesn't show the date of the zone I choose (in the list), can anyone help me?
[16:14] <edbian> mgj: What name does it have in iwconfig
[16:14] <mgj> edbian, http://pastebin.com/p2hs0HhC
[16:15] <geshp> vivekrp: shutdown mysql: /etc/init.d/mysql stop
[16:15] <edbian> mgj: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up says what?
[16:15] <geshp> vivekrp: start it with grant: mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables &
[16:15] <mgj> edbian, SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory
[16:15] <vivekrp> ZykoticK9: I have installed  it on ubuntu 11.04. And i know its not xampp channel. so posted on #apachefriends but no one replyed there so askign here.
[16:15] <geshp> vivekrp: go to sql shell: mysql -u root
[16:15] <afroman> anybody home?
[16:16] <edbian> mgj: What driver is being listed in sudo lspci -k   ??
[16:16] <usr13> mgj: Do you know the essid?
[16:16] <RA_drc> hi, i'm running natty narwhal, and when i try and drop the text editor into the launch bar, it doesn't stay in there.  what is wrong?
[16:16] <geshp> vivekrp: update user set password=password('whateveryouwant') where User='pma';   (pma or root or whatever)
[16:16] <geshp> vivekrp: followed by: flush privileges; and quit
[16:16] <mgj> edbian, disclaimer: Helping a friend. I *think* he messed around with /etc/network/interfaces to fix it. I changed it back to only contain the loopback "lo" device.
[16:17] <mgj> edbian, i dont.... actually see the driver
[16:17] <afroman> how do I enter my system using a live cd?
[16:17] <sooth> How do I feed a list of packages to aptitude and then resolve the dependencies interactively?
[16:17] <edbian> mgj: Does it contain only the lo device?
[16:17] <geshp> vivekrp: then /etc/init.d/mysql stop followed by /etc/init.d/mysql start
[16:17] <edbian> mgj: can you pastebin sudo lspci -k ?
[16:17] <mgj> edbian, yes
[16:17] <mgj> sec
[16:17] <geshp> vivekrp: whew that should be it to do a mysql reset
[16:17] <Wisien> anyone knows how ubuntu display and gui works?
[16:17] <vivekrp> geshp: When i command : /opt/lampp/bin/mysql . Its giving an error : " Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)"
[16:17] <usr13> mgj: sudo lspci -k | pastebinit
[16:17] <ZykoticK9> afroman, you could see the chroot directions in the !grub2 link
[16:17] <Wisien> is it xree86 or x11
[16:17] <edbian> mgj: Then /etc/network/interfaces is correct.  (it's a good sign it shows up in iwconfig)  I suspect the firmware is missing but first I wanna see the ipw2200 driver there
[16:18] <usr13> Wisien: xorg
[16:18] <geshp> vivekrp: you have to restart mysql with the --skip-grant-tables option
[16:18] <ZykoticK9> Wisien, Xfree86 was replaced on most (probably all) distros by Xorg quite some time ago
[16:18] <jtreminio> Morning all. I'm on 11.04, running Chrome. I know there's an update in the future for this, but does anyone know of anyway to watch Netflix streams right now? Does Moonlight work?
[16:18] <edbian> Wisien: It's elaborate.  I know how it works at various level.  None of which are complete :P
[16:18] <afroman> ZykoticK9: what is the !grub2 link?
[16:18] <edbian> jtreminio: You cannot watch netflix on linux :(
[16:18] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 > afroman
[16:18] <jtreminio> edbian:  noooooooooooooo
[16:19] <Wisien> i need to chceck what graphics chipset i have
[16:19] <mgj> edbian, i dont see the ipw2200 driver. Pastein: http://pastebin.com/q0XH3zKK
[16:19] <edbian> jtreminio: do not want!
[16:19] <Wisien> how to do it
[16:19] <jhfdj> hi
[16:19] <edbian> mgj: reading...
[16:19] <ZykoticK9> Wisien, "lspci | grep -i vga"
[16:19] <usr13> Wisien: lspci
[16:19] <Wisien> thx
[16:19] <jhfdj> never used ubuntu bfore just installed latest releasse and have a simple question
[16:20] <edbian> mgj: The only wifi card I see is a broadcom BCM4309  on the last line.  There is no intel 2200
[16:20] <edbian> mgj: You've got some 'splaning to do!
[16:20] <jhfdj> is there a program list like in windows. i have libre draw (or something like that) but it isnt in the left hand widget displaying programs etc
[16:20] <jhfdj> and i cant find how to access it
[16:21] <mgj> edbian, you are correct. Think i have been fooled by either the dell website (which claims broadcom is only used in the asia market) or my friend :P. Im sorry
[16:21] <jtreminio> jhfdj:  hit your Windows key and type "libre"
[16:21] <mgj> ugh.... broadcom wifi trouble
[16:21] <jhfdj> ok thanks
[16:21] <mgj> have tried fixing broadcom before, such a pain
[16:21] <sw0rdfish> hey guys where are background images kept again?
[16:21] <mgj> edbian, none the less, there is a driver, why cant i scan?
[16:21] <jhfdj> is there a simple way of seeing and accessing the installed program list on the desktop without having to type in the name of the program
[16:21] <mgj> shouldnt i be able to?
[16:21] <edbian> mgj: no worries.  I am more confident with this chipset!
[16:22] <mgj> really? awesome
[16:22] <ZykoticK9> sw0rdfish, /usr/share/pixmaps maybe?
[16:22] <geshp> broadcom is *not* just used in asia damn thats so wrong
[16:22] <usr13> jhfdj: No
[16:22] <edbian> mgj: do you have a /lib/firmware/b43 folder ?
[16:22] <jhfdj> that could be an improvement suggestion then n'est pas
[16:22] <mgj> geshp, i know, only speaking about this specific laptop
[16:22] <jhfdj> for ease of use etc time etc
[16:22] <geshp> mgj: is that a mini by any chance?
[16:22] <jhfdj> surely
[16:22] <mgj> edbian, i dont. I do have a "brcm" folder tho
[16:23] <usr13> jhfdj: Do you realize that if you had close to a thousand icons on the Desktop it would be impossible to find anything?
[16:23] <mgj> geshp, i dont know. Not my laptop, helping a friend remotely
[16:23] <geshp> ahh gotcha
[16:23] <sw0rdfish> ZykoticK9, nice one
[16:23] <edbian> mgj: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer    This will install the firmware needed by the driver to use your card.
[16:23] <jhfdj> or at least be able to open it from the installed software list
[16:24] <jhfdj> or find the path to where it is from there in right click menu. eg do u want to open this
[16:24] <usr13> jhfdj: They are all accessable via the start menu.
[16:24] <jhfdj> how
[16:24] <mgj> edbian, nice! Guess that means i dont have to deal with the pains of ndiswrapper?
[16:24] <ZykoticK9> usr13, "start menu" eh?  ;)
[16:24] <edbian> mgj: I don't think so
[16:24] <usr13> ZykoticK9: Ok, well what should I call it?
[16:24] <jhfdj> the widget aint big enough to show all programs in just has libre write and the presentation one
[16:24] <ZykoticK9> usr13, ?
[16:25] <mgj> edbian, scanning seems to work, awesome! Thanks a lot
[16:25] <usr13> ZykoticK9: But it IS a start menu.  Right?
[16:25] <edbian> mgj: You can get on a network?
[16:26] <edbian> I'm better than the documenation!  linux wireless lists this card but not what driver covers it.  And under the b43 driver it does not list this card.  ubuntu packages don't mention bcm4309 at all
[16:26] <mgj> edbian, will try, but i assume so. At least, it is able to find multiple networks
[16:26] <jhfdj> i mean an easy access to software list or something is just an obvious necessity surely. unless linux users are so clever they dont need it
[16:26] <edbian> I just got it to work
[16:26] <ZykoticK9> usr13, "start menu" is a windows term, so you can call it that if you like (everyone will know what you are talking about)
[16:26] <magnetron> Hi, i have a laptop that gets very hot. what is the recommended way to set up power save for hard drives?
[16:26] <edbian> mgj: Finding networking basically means the card is working
[16:26] <jhfdj> it is a visual interface not dos
[16:26] <mgj> thats a good start in my book =)
[16:26] <edbian> mgj: sure
[16:26] <dr_willis> ive heard the next release of windows is also trying to move away from the start-button mentality
[16:26] <balachmar> Hi, GDM doesn't start anymore and I have errors about loading the nvidia driver. But sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current did not help
[16:26] <sungji> hmmm WHAT did they do with the gnome samegame ?
[16:27] <ZykoticK9> usr13, i was just joking around with you, thus the ;) at the end.  But i really don't have an alternate suggestion...
[16:27] <jhfdj> i mean thats a big flaw really innit
[16:27] <jhfdj> its bleadin obvious one
[16:27] <jhfdj> wood for the trees...
[16:27] <jhfdj> see...
[16:27] <jhfdj> hmm starting to wonder about you lot
[16:28] <balachmar> Just for your information fail-safe x works
[16:28] <adurodea> jhfdj: far as i can tell you're complaining about no list of software?
[16:28] <jhfdj> yes
[16:28] <blz> magnetron, I'm not sure that harddrives generate all that much heat.  Is this really the best way of handling the problem?
[16:28] <edbian> dr_willis: I read that.  All tiles just like windows phone 7
[16:28] <dr_willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/use-classic-menu-in-unity-classicmenu.html
[16:28] <adurodea> jhfdj: theres plenty of ways to list software...installed running or available to be installed
[16:28] <dr_willis> theres getting to be a lot of neat Unity Indicator-applets and lens out it seems. :)
[16:28] <ZykoticK9> jhfdj, FYI Gnome2/classic has a list of installed programs - you're talking about a Unity shortcoming
[16:28] <magnetron> blz: it's old and i just want to save some power. what would you recommend? turning off the computer?
[16:28] <jhfdj> yes unity
[16:29] <jhfdj> got it from a linux mag
[16:29] <jhfdj> fed up of worms
[16:29] <jtreminio> Is there a way to override the Hidden Files filter for Nautilus? I still want to hide all hidden files/folders, EXCEPT for any ".htaccess" files - I want those to always be visible
[16:29] <jhfdj> in windows
[16:29] <jhfdj> last one was a rootkit called avg10
[16:29] <dr_willis> I was able to run the normal gnome-panel on unity also. :) looked a litle weird.. but it worked..
[16:29] <dr_willis> jtreminio,  not that i have ever seen
[16:29] <blz> magnetron:  well that would certainly work =).  Otherwise open it up and clear the heatsink of dust.  That can make a HUGE difference.
[16:30] <Wisien> anyone used commercial unixes here?
[16:30] <jhfdj> unless you really know about computers you might as well just reinstall everything after infected.
[16:30] <oCean> Wisien: please stay on topic
[16:30] <blz> magnetron, otherwise, I'd throttle CPU power, dim the backlight, and run powertop
[16:30] <Wisien> ok
[16:30] <ZykoticK9> jtreminio, i don't think you can selectively hide things - they're either hidden, or not --- FYI ctrl+h will show hidden in nautilus
[16:30] <jtreminio> ZykoticK9:  yeah I've been doing that ... was hoping though! Thanks anyway
[16:30] <blz> magnetron, and there's an option to spin down hard disks in the power management app installed by default
[16:31] <jhfdj> is there an alternative to linux. you have windows linux and there must be something else lurking out there no one talks about...
[16:31] <oCean> jhfdj: this channel is about ubuntu support.
[16:31] <magnetron> blz: the cpu power is already throttled. the heat is coming directly from the place where the hdd is so i'm pretty sure that's the problem, it's constantly spinning. i use the command-line version of ubuntu.
[16:31] <seidos> jhfdj: maybe you should ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:31] <ZykoticK9> jhfdj, *BSDs are another free OS out there
[16:32] <jhfdj> ok well off to waste time finding libre paint put that in suggestion box for unity pls clever people thanks
[16:32] <dr_willis> jhfdj,  check the disrtowatch web site.
[16:32] <mgj> edbian, it works =) Thanks again
[16:32] <edbian> mgj: awesome.  Glad I could help!
[16:33] <xcc112> On ubuntu 11.04 ,how to fix mon0 is fixed on channal -1 in airodump-ng, broadcom wireless card, b43 driver
[16:33] <giulio> ciao ragazzi mi potete suggerire come posso installare i driver di un scanner lide 110? sono novello su ubuntu e mi sto cimentando da qualche giorno . grazie per la collaborazione.
[16:33] <blz> magnetron:  Hmm.  Concerning the heat, it's possible (and somewhat likely) that because hard drives tend to conduct heat, it feels hotter after some time.  I'd still check out the heatsink.  As far as disk power management goes, I forget how it's done
[16:33] <oCean> !it | giulio
[16:33] <blz> magnetron:  but give powertop a whirl too.  it's in the default repositories
[16:34] <magnetron> blz: yeah, but i'm on the commandline system so i doubt the problem is too much software
[16:35] <xcc112> anybody know how to fix airodump-ng problem with fixed channal (mon0 on -1) with b43 driver
[16:38] <xcc112> anybody have compaq 6715b with ubuntu and b43 driver?
[16:38] <fa_effekt> need to set up wireless connection from cell phone to desktop via wifi adapter
[16:38] <fa_effekt> the adapter works
[16:38] <edbian> xcc112: I don't have that machine but I can help.
[16:38] <parapan> hello fellows > I have some troubles mounting partitions when using nx remote on Ubuntu system .....can anyone help pls ???
[16:38] <fa_effekt> however don't know how to set it up
[16:39] <Tasma> morning
[16:39] <Stereocaulon> I have a hardware RAID1 system and Ubuntu 11.04 (64bits) complains from time to time that it has encountered serious errors mounting my /home directory. Is a simple fsck safe on a RAID1 array, or do I need to take special precautions?
[16:39] <oCean> parapan: best is just to describe your issue (detailed, in single line)
[16:39] <edbian> xcc112: you there?
[16:40] <xcc112> yes
[16:40] <edbian> xcc112: What card / chipset do you have?
[16:40] <sipior> Stereocaulon: fsck operates at the level of the filesystem, and so is more or less orthogonal to raid/lvm status.
[16:40] <xcc112> broadcom wireless card
[16:40] <edbian> xcc112: I need the number, bcm43XY  what are x and y?  You can find out by running sudo lspci -k
[16:41] <xcc112> ok sec
[16:41] <edbian> xcc112: It' big!
[16:41] <Sub_Zero> How can I remove some of the entries in the right click menu?
[16:42] <Stereocaulon> sipior, thank you! I'll go ahead next time (after making a backup)
[16:43] <sipior> Stereocaulon: sure thing. backups are always a good idea :-)
[16:44] <parapan> oCean: when I'm in front of  my PC, I am mounting a linux partition using Places>Partition Name (the partition is not mounted on the fstab); when I remotely access the PC using NX, I go to Places>Partition name and I receive message  "Unable to Mount partition > Not authorized ...but I'm logging with the admin user .......funny thing is : some time is working ...most of the time is not working ....
[16:44] <Jamshoot> hello
[16:44] <fa_effekt> anyone knowledgeable on how to get wifi adapter set up?
[16:44] <Rickta59> I'm having copying and pasting data from a java applet in Firefox ( and Chrome ).  It doesn't work.  Is there some setting I can change to allow cut and paste on for java applets?  The site I'm trying to use is the circuit simulator at http://www.falstad.com/circuit/ It has a feature that allows you to export the link.  It shows a dialog box with a text widget.  If you right click on the exported text there is no copy or cut.  I tr
[16:45] <Sidewinder1> Jamshoot, Good mornin'.
[16:45] <xcc112> edibian i am on another computer i cant use my now , i will come later and try to find you
[16:45] <edbian> xcc112: cya
[16:46] <Jamshoot> i got read DMA Ext error, while i try to boot Ubuntu. I finded bad partition and deleted it from fstab. But it doesnt helps... What should i do?
[16:47] <oCean> parapan: weird, I didn't think it would make a difference, locally or remote (nx)
[16:47] <Jamshoot> any guess?
[16:47] <fyksen> Does anybody know what the shortcut to switch tab in empathy is?
[16:47] <sipior> Jamshoot: dying drive, i would imagine
[16:48] <sipior> Jamshoot: possibly just a bad connection.
[16:48] <oCean> parapan: I would suggest a logfile, if I could come up with one of some relevance.. /var/log/auth.log maybe?
[16:48] <parapan> oCean: normally, it sholdn't be a problem ...maybe because of a slow remote connection ??? even if it happend to me when using a good internet connection also .....
[16:48] <sipior> Jamshoot: consider running smartmontools on the drive and see what comes up.
[16:48] <Jamshoot> sipior, this is bad... However, i can mount it from live usb (cd)...
[16:49] <sipior> Jamshoot: then make sure you have a reliable copy of the data therein
[16:49] <Stereocaulon> sipior, thanks again. going to backup now.
[16:49] <oCean> parapan: have you tested other actions?
[16:49] <Stereocaulon> \leave #ubuntu
[16:50] <tsaknorris> my friend has sony vaio with AR9285 atheros card and his connection quality is 40/70 (not even 40/100) is there other drivers that that ath9k what i could test?
[16:50] <Jamshoot> sipior, i tried smart tools, test throws this ->
[16:50] <Jamshoot> # 3  Short offline       Completed: read failure       90%      8321<PHONE_NUMBER>
[16:50] <tsaknorris> speed is in bits not in bytes :D
[16:50] <Jamshoot> and already checked connectors
[16:51] <sipior> Jamshoot: time for a replacement drive.
[16:51] <sipior> Jamshoot: at least plug in a spare to verify that it's not a problem with the controller &cet.
[16:52] <afroman> ZykoticK9: hello again... thx for the help
[16:52] <Jamshoot> sipior, =\ he is too young to die =)
[16:52] <tsaknorris> there is also windows (dual boot) so with windows its very good wlan connection
[16:52] <sipior> Jamshoot: if only the world worked that way...
[16:52] <Rickta59> so no one has suggests on how to solve copy/paste problems with java applets on ubuntu ?
[16:52] <sooth> How do I manually start the window manager from the console?
[16:52] <afroman> ZykoticK9: just a quick question, how do I find out if UUID of a partition?
[16:52] <tsaknorris> i dont want to use ndiswrapper :P
[16:52] <sooth> afroman: blkid
[16:53] <OneiricOne> sooth, startx
[16:53] <sooth> OneiricOne: I want to start it on another tty
[16:53] <sooth> or display
[16:53] <OneiricOne> sooth, sorry I don't know how to do that.
[16:54] <Jamshoot> sipior, ok ill try it... But what happend with boot? Why the error appears there and dont appears while i mount hd it livecd ubuntu?
[16:54] <Jamshoot> *in
[16:54] <tsaknorris> hmm
[16:54] <sipior> Jamshoot: i don't know.
[16:54] <oCean> sooth: I think it is startx -- :2  to start x on tty2
[16:54] <Jamshoot> ok
[16:55] <afroman> thx sooth
[16:56] <Jamshoot> 2nd question, is there scandisk-like prog. for ntfs in linux?
[16:57] <Jamshoot> fsck doesnt like ntfs...
[16:58] <jay_> Question: is there a good software for desktop recording in ubuntu ? can u recommend me one ?
[16:58] <rypervenche> jay_: gtk-recordmydesktop or ffmpeg
[16:58] <mgj> jay_, the ones i have tried, sucks. recordmydesktop is easy, but i think ffmpeg is more reliable
[16:59] <rypervenche> jay_: I wrote a script for ffmpeg to do it.

[17:00] <Sintient> Need help with Ubuntu install using Wubi on a Win7 system (ASUS Eee PC 1015PED-PU17)
[17:03] <Abhijit> !details | sinistrad
[17:03] <Abhijit> aaah
[17:03] <Abhijit> Sintient, ^^^^^
[17:03] <roasted> Question - I've heard that Gnome Shell breaks Unity. Is this because the current Unity is Gnome 2.X based and GS is Gnome 3 based? When 11.10 comes out, will Unity and Gnome Shell be able to live together on the same system or will the same issue still exist?
[17:03] <FLeiXiuS> I
[17:04] <fa_effekt> anyone knowledgeable on how to get wifi adapter set up?
[17:04] <FLeiXiuS> I'm trying to create my own debian repo; however, every time I go to apt-get install, the package is unavailable.  Apt-get update shows my repo being 'Ignored'
[17:04] <Abhijit> !wifi | fa_effekt
[17:04] <magnetron> fa_effekt: have you been experiencing any problems with it?
[17:05] <fa_effekt> magnetron, this is a new setup
[17:05] <fa_effekt> the adapter is recognized but don't know how to get the cell phone to connect
[17:05] <magnetron> fa_effekt: what happens when you plug it in and click the network icon
[17:06] <fa_effekt> it shows a wlan connection
[17:07] <Sintient> Install process seemed fine, rebooted, presented with boot options, selected Ubuntu, OS began loading, hung on slide-show. I left it on all night and it still did not fully load
[17:07] <CainFoool> Guys
[17:07] <CainFoool> I need a bit of help.
[17:07] <Thraspic> I'm trying to change the Chromium program icon.  Not jsut the icon on the main menu, which I've done, but the icon which appears in my task tray and in my window manager.  I've done this with other programs by changing the icons in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/(various resolutions)/apps, but for Chromium and Chromium alone this isnt working.
[17:07] <CainFoool> Anybody here?
[17:08] <magnetron> fa_effekt: can you access the internet?
[17:08] <CainFoool> sudo: can't open /etc/sudoers.d/README: Permission denied
[17:08] <CainFoool> That error message shows once I try sudo for anything.
[17:08] <CainFoool> even just typing sudo.
[17:08] <fa_effekt> magnetron, to be specific - in gnome under system > preferences > network configuration
[17:09] <CainFoool> ..
[17:09] <magnetron> fa_effekt: yes. what SPECIFICALLY isn't working
[17:09] <magnetron> ???
[17:09] <fa_effekt> it says that under wireless connection tab there is a wireless connection 1
[17:09] <magnetron> fa_effekt: that's good, it's supposed to
[17:09] <fa_effekt> magnetron, after that not for certain about what should be done
[17:10] <sipior> CainFoool: well, what are the permissions of that directory, and /etc/sudoers?
[17:10] <CainFoool> How do I check sipior?
[17:10] <sipior> CainFoool: "ls -l"
[17:10] <sipior> CainFoool: ls -l /etc/sudoers
[17:10] <magnetron> fa_effekt: sure, but you haven't told me what the problem is yet
[17:10] <CainFoool> dr--r-----  2 root    root     4096 2010-04-29 13:18 sudoers.d
[17:11] <CainFoool> It is not the sudoers file that is the problem, it's the sudoers.d folder that is.
[17:11] <fa_effekt> magnetron, just trying to get a connection between cell phone wifi and desktop
[17:12] <magnetron> fa_effekt: can't they both connect to the router?
[17:12] <fa_effekt> the router is lan
[17:12] <dr_willis> teathering. :)  always a handy thing.
[17:12] <killoww> hi everyone, is there anyone that wouldn't mind wasting a few seconds of their life (lol) helping me out choose a netbook? (i dont think this could be on topic here if so please just tell me i dont want to bother anyone) i'm looking at a few brands but now i'm really concerned about build and compatibility with linux, looks like the hardware is mainly the same but im really having some paranoia right now lol
[17:12] <roasted> Anybody see this? Seems to be more user friendly to recover grub - http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/boot-repair-fix-ubuntu-boot-issues.html#more
[17:12] <fa_effekt> magnetron, the router is ethernet
[17:12] <CainFoool> sipior: I get dr--r-----  2 root    root     4096 2010-04-29 13:18 sudoers.d
[17:12] <dr_willis> killoww,  eee has some new netbooks with ubuntu preinstalled..
[17:12] <sipior> CainFoool: you don't have /etc/sudoers?
[17:12] <magnetron> !ics | fa_effekt
[17:13] <CainFoool> sipior: I do have /etc/sudoers ; but that file is not the problem.
[17:13] <killoww> dr_willis: sadly asus is very  bad here with support and prices, i was considering dell, hp, toshiba  you have any experience? I mainly focus on build quality since support can be good where you live but crappy here
[17:13] <dr_willis> killoww,  im not even sure what you would mean by 'support' :) ive rarely needed the pc makers for any reason
[17:13] <CainFoool> sipior: For sudoers, I get -r--r-----  1 root    root      609 2011-06-10 02:08 sudoers
[17:14] <dr_willis> killoww,  check the reviews i guess.
[17:14] <CainFoool> sipior: But for sudoers.d ; I get dr--r-----  2 root    root     4096 2010-04-29 13:18 sudoers.d
[17:14] <killoww> dr_willis: well when it breaks i cant actually replace the mobo on my own (i would never find someone that would sell me one lol)
[17:14] <sipior> CainFoool: yes, i saw.
[17:14] <mgj> killoww, if all you care about is build quality, i think good ol' IBM Thinkpad is hard to beat
[17:14] <dr_willis> killoww,  its a netbook.. its basically a throw away computer..
[17:14] <CainFoool> sipior: So how do I fix this fail?
[17:15] <sipior> CainFoool: which version of ubuntu are you running, and when did the problem begin?
[17:15] <dr_willis> cost of parts would be more then a new one in most cases..
[17:15] <CainFoool> sipior: Ubuntu 10.04 ; and it happened 2 days ago.
[17:15] <sipior> CainFoool: what did you change on the system 2 days ago?
[17:15] <killoww> mgj: sadly i cant buy them here :S
[17:15] <mgj> what, really?
[17:15] <CainFoool> sipior: Erm.. I chmod'd / by 0777 xD
[17:15] <mgj> thought they were very global
[17:15] <killoww> dr_willis: i couldnt agree more :D
[17:16] <killoww> mgj: they are but here noone sells lol
[17:16] <sipior> CainFoool: you could've saved us a great deal of time mentioning that at the beginning...
[17:16] <mgj> =(
[17:16] <haavaros> Hi! How do I make the week start on monday in 10.10?
[17:16] <CainFoool> sipior: So how do I fix it then
[17:16] <mgj> killoww, you could use that thing.... whats it called.... interwebz? to buy one :P
[17:16] <sipior> CainFoool: boot from a rescue cd (or boot into single-user mode), and fix the permissions.
[17:16] <RA_drc> hi, how can i  get gedit to stay in the quick-launch bar on natty narwhal?
[17:17] <killoww> mgj: lol, problems are that 1 my company needs to buy them directly from the manufacturer (and thats a big one) 2 that they re not sold on national territory anyways so id need an imported product
[17:17] <CainFoool> sipior: I have been doing that, I've been booting off an Ubuntu Live CD (my previous install one) and i got the README file chmod'd to 0440 this morning, but once I did it I get the PErmission Denied error.
[17:18] <CainFoool> sipior: Would fsck fix it?
[17:18] <mgj> killoww, fair enough. I honestly know nothing about how IBM goes about selling to companies
[17:18] <sipior> CainFoool: no.
[17:18] <killoww> mgj: ibm rocks, i don't know how they got our former machines lol
[17:18] <killoww> mgj: you happen to have experiences with hp dell or toshiba?
[17:19] <mgj> Im afraid i dont. Im a coder, i dont buy stuff for companies =)
[17:19] <Sintient> "I have a problem with Ubuntu not completely loading after boot, I'm running Ubuntu version 11.04 dual-booting on a Win7 Starter system. When I try to boot Ubuntu it stops at the initial desktop with a slide show of Ubuntu features, I get the following output: The pointer continues to remain a spinning wheel., but I expected it to finish loading the desktop and show a taskbar and list of programs"
[17:19] <mgj> only speaking from personal experience with thinkpads, they are generally of very high build quality
[17:19] <killoww> mgj: no i mean experiences with said brands, like you ever owned one of those machines?
[17:19] <mgj> oh, no. Only had thinkpads and shitty low-end asus's
[17:20] <killoww> mgj: ouch
[17:20] <omegaphi> hi, can someone help me uninstall the phpmyadmin from my ubuntu?
[17:21] <gumus> hi all
[17:21] <omegaphi> there are multiple folders with name phpmyadmin on my system. Please help :)
[17:21] <Pici> omegaphi: How did you install it?
[17:21] <mgj> I have a 7 year old Asus laptop, it still works. The fan is quite noisy by now, but it works. But honestly, the build quality does not even compare to that of a thinkpad. Im a bit of a fanboy in that regard.
[17:21] <llutz> omegaphi: sudo apt-get purge phpmyadmin
[17:21] <omegaphi> or can someone help me fix my phpmyadmin? it is asking for some username and password which I don't know!
[17:22] <Pici> mgj: Could you please mind your language here? also, laptop brand discussion isn't really on-topic for this channel, there is a conversation about the same thing going on in #ubuntu-offtopic though.
[17:22] <Sintient> Wubi install provided by Ubuntu.com
[17:22] <killoww> mgj: i saw one, sadly lenovo is kinda picky here and all i can find are low end ones
[17:23] <Gargamel> hello
[17:23] <mgj> Pici, sorry. Dont think my language is very offensive, but ill stop the laptop discussion

[17:26] <omegaphi> *REPOSTING* can someone help me fix my phpmyadmin? it is asking for some username and password which I don't know!
[17:27] <Nobgul-BNC> omegaphi Wait a second and yes i can
[17:27] <Nobgul-BNC> Do you have root access to the server or computer?
[17:27] <Pici> omegaphi: The username and password it is asking for are the credentials that your mysql server would normally accept.
[17:28] <Gargamel> *REPOST*i have a desktop (Dell Dimension 2400) with a belkin wireless card in it and i cannot seem to find the drivers compatable anyone know where i can find a driver that works with the broadcom 801 and ubuntu 11.04?
[17:28] <Sintient> Is it an expected function for Ubuntu 11.04 to show a desktop background with a slide-show and nothing else except OS customization options?
[17:28] <omegaphi> Pici : My mysql is installed with default settings, user: root and no password, but it's not working :(
[17:28] <hex-code> hi omegaphi
[17:29] <Sintient> If not, what should I expect?
[17:29] <omegaphi> hex-code : hi
[17:29] <hex-code> can you help out with Glib 2.28 upgrade on ubuntu 10.10
[17:29] <Pici> omegaphi: The default for mysql is for it to prompt you for a root password upon install.
[17:29] <hex-code> synaptic doesn't show any new upgrade beyond  Glib 2.26.1, and i need some help with manual installation
[17:30] <Null000> What is a good program to check computer heat ,hard disk etc on ubuntu?
[17:30] <Gargamel> i am running ubuntu 11.04 but i want to get my wireless card working till i do i have a linux box with no internet anyone willing to help me out finding the driver for the wireless card compatable with Belkin G Wireless F5D700 V1134?
[17:30] <omegaphi> Pici : I simply pressed enter while installation, I can access thr mysql from shell using "mysql --host=localhost --protocol=TCP"
[17:31] <omegaphi> hex-code : sorry, I don't know nothing about it
[17:31] <Gargamel> F5d7000
[17:31] <Gargamel> :(
[17:31] <Nobgul-BNC> omegaphi, try this mysql --user=root mysql
[17:31] <hex-code> ok
[17:31] <Pici> omegaphi: Then you can change your password so that phpmyadmin will accept it: UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('newpasswordhere'') WHERE User='root';
[17:31] <Pici> omegaphi: Then: FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
[17:32] <omegaphi> Nobgul-BNC : ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[17:32] <Nobgul-BNC> Then you have larger issues. Pici, that is where i was going with him.
[17:32] <omegaphi> Nobgul-BNC : ok
[17:32] <Pici> hex-code: Upgrading glib is likely to break your system. Why do you think you need to do this?
[17:32] <Gargamel> ok all these people that use linux and noone knows where i can find a driver that will work with my Belkin G Wireless Card?
[17:33] <omegaphi> Nobgul-BNC : what should I do now?
[17:33] <Nobgul-BNC> omegaphi, You can run the code that Pici, gave you ands reset the password by login in the way you did before.
[17:33] <Pici> !broadcom | grandrew
[17:33] <Pici> grandrew: sorry, mistab
[17:33] <hex-code> i have to install gtk+-3.0
[17:33] <Pici> Gargamel: see above ^
[17:33] <hex-code> and it depends on glib2.28.0
[17:33] <Gargamel> pici i tried that
[17:34] <Pici> hex-code: glib2.28 is available in Ubuntu 11.04, you could upgrade.
[17:34] <Gargamel> i have to have internet first and without the drivers i cannot retrieve them
[17:34] <Sintient> Sorry, I am new to this. Should I be addressing someone specifically?
[17:35] <hex-code> i was wondering if i can do it in 10.10 only
[17:35] <mgj> Sintient, if you have a question, just ask it. If someone answers, it might be appropriate to adress that person
[17:36] <Gargamel> Pici you have to be connected to retrieve the drivers, my linux box has no internet till i get those drivers
[17:37] <omegaphi> ERROR 1142 (42000): UPDATE command denied to user ''@'localhost' for table 'user'
[17:37] <Nobgul-BNC> Usb drive Gargamel?
[17:37] <omegaphi> Pici : ERROR 1142 (42000): UPDATE command denied to user ''@'localhost' for table 'user'
[17:37] <Nobgul-BNC> omegaphi, you know how to stop mysql
[17:37] <Nobgul-BNC> If so kill mysql
[17:38] <Null000> gargamel if you using linux in virtual box than use nat connection to get internet coonection in box than download driver
[17:38] <mgj> Nobgul-BNC, not sure if you should use the "service" tool these days, but otherwise you should be able to use /etc/init.d/mysqld start|stop|restart
[17:38] <Nobgul-BNC> omegaphi, and once its down start it with mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
[17:38] <omegaphi> Nobgul-BNC : I did pkill mysql
[17:38] <Nobgul-BNC> Ok run that command above to launch it.
[17:38] <mgj> omegaphi, is that... safe?
[17:38] <Gargamel> Null000 I HAVE NOT CONNECTION AT ALL WITH Linux
[17:39] <NCS_One_> I have this "XTerm*background: #080808" on ~/.Xresources but it doesn't change color, anyone knows why?
[17:39] <Null000> gargamel you using virtual linux?

[17:39] <Sintient> ...of programs
[17:39] <omegaphi> Nobgul-BNC : http://codepad.org/xiHU1yr2
[17:39] <Nobgul-BNC> omegaphi, after you restart with the above command you can use the password rest command that Pici listed above
[17:39] <Gargamel> no its a full install
[17:39] <Gargamel> only OS on box

[17:41] <Gargamel> downloaded a package gonna go try that one
[17:41] <Gargamel> talk to ya later
[17:41] <Gargamel> thanks for the info
[17:42] <Nobgul-BNC> omegaphi, try putting sudo in front of the command to launch the mysql.
[17:42] <dr_willis> illDecree,  some bash scripting, or use of 'qmv' from the renameutils package.  proberly other ways as well.
[17:42] <omegaphi> Nobgul-BNC : the command which you just gave me or the one I use to start mysql?
[17:43] <Nobgul-BNC> The one from above mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
[17:43] <illDecree> dr_willis: thanks!
[17:43] <Nobgul-BNC> so sudo mysqld_safe --skip-grant-tables
[17:43] <Zol> How come 'sudo echo "wm.zolomon.com" > /etc/hostname' says I lack permission? I've got root access.
[17:43] <omegaphi> Nobgul-BNC : done
[17:44] <Nobgul-BNC> Did it launch omegaphi
[17:44] <Zol> If I change the hostname, how should I change my hosts file?
[17:44] <omegaphi> Nobgul-BNC : http://codepad.org/mkSKIxSg
[17:44] <Zol> (I managed to change the hostname file, and I read that if I didn't update the hosts file sudo would stop working.)
[17:44] <omegaphi> Nobgul-BNC : I guess it launched then ended immediately
[17:45] <NCS_One_> I have this "XTerm*background: #080808" on ~/.Xresources but it doesn't change color, anyone knows why?
[17:45] <Nobgul-BNC> omegaphi, that is what it looks like. Unfournately the only way i know how to reset the pass is this method. Mabey someone else knows why it wont run. but im not sure
[17:45] <Sintient> Any suggestions of another place I should go that could more appropriately address my issues?
[17:46] <omegaphi> Pici : Can you help?
[17:47] <arunkumar413> hi, how to convert individual html pages into one single pdf document

[17:52] <Sintient> Sorry, I am not sure how this game is played. Who can I ask for help?
[17:52] <dasupergamer> erm can i get ask a few questions on hardware support please... mainly stuff like TVTuners.......PCI interface cards and such
[17:52] <dasupergamer> just ask in this chat
[17:52]  * Mr_Brooks is wondering if anyone is here..
[17:52] <Pici> dasupergamer: ##hardware would be a more appropriate place for that.
[17:53] <dasupergamer> Pici: still
[17:53] <Sintient> dasupergamer, can you help me?
[17:53] <dasupergamer> sintient, sure
[17:54] <dasupergamer> what do you need help with
[17:54] <Sintient> I have a problem with Ubuntu not completely loading after boot, I'm running Ubuntu version 11.04 dual-booting on a Win7 Starter system. When I try to boot Ubuntu it stops at the initial desktop with a slide show of Ubuntu features, I get the following output: The pointer continues to remain a spinning wheel., but I expected it to finish loading the desktop and show a taskbar and list of programs
[17:55] <dasupergamer> ok as you are using WUBI you can uninstall it via control panel.... also windows 7 started only come on netbooks with 32bit processors not 64biot... there is a command line to install ubuntu via wubi but the 32bit version
[17:57] <amit2011> any1 knows irc channel of doc team.. I wanna join doc team
[17:57] <Sidewinder1> dasupergamer, wubi should be used only to "try ubnutu", it is not meant to be a method for continued usage...If you like ubuntu, install it as dual boot and go from there.
[17:57] <Sintient> I thought I did install it
[17:57] <riktking> whats the package name of the remote desktop viewer?
[17:58] <dasupergamer> wubi allows booting for a vhd.... or virtual ahrd disk in another sense
[17:58] <dasupergamer> you can get full ubuntu usage out of it... i only use it to test wine compatability
[17:59] <Sintient> I used the install here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer
[17:59] <Sintient> I rebooted and selected Ubuntu from the boot menu
[17:59] <dasupergamer> wubi is good for ppl who just want to use ubuntu for dvds, web browsing and things like that
[18:00] <dasupergamer> but you get full ubuntu usage out of it
[18:00] <dasupergamer> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[18:00] <Sidewinder1> dasupergamer, Wubi and wine are two aspects that "i" avoid like the plague; with all due respect to the developers.
[18:00] <Sintient> that was my hope dasupergamer
[18:01] <amit2011> hii
[18:01] <Sintient> So far I only have a slide-show and OS personalizations.
[18:01] <amit2011> any1 knows how to type | separator symbol
[18:01] <dasupergamer> i use ubuntu but i also have windwos as my main OS cause i play world of warcraft]
[18:01] <beef-supreme> can anyone tell me what image viewer comes on by default on ubuntu 10.10?
[18:01] <RevSpecies116> You just did amit2011
[18:01] <dasupergamer> i write guides on the forums for playing under linux.... and the blizzard ppl thank me for it but don't sticky it
[18:01] <pksadiq> amit2011: how does you do now?
[18:02] <nmpribeiro> grub rescue> insmod normal (after doing prefix and root to the right places) gives me "error: out of disk". Same thing if I go beyond ls (hd3.1)/. HOwever, the mounting point / is visible using ls. Any one help? Thanks in advance
[18:02] <dasupergamer> to install 32 bit via wubi ..... right click on wubi application and add the arguement --32bit
[18:02] <amit2011> I copy pasted it
[18:02] <pksadiq> amit2011: shift + backslash key
[18:02] <Sidewinder1> "Full Ubuntu usage" from wubi;...Not a chance, but that's just my opinion. If you like it, install it and go from there. Dual boot will allow you to get "the best of both worlds. :-)
[18:03] <amit2011> I have edited thousands of wiki and I dont know this..
[18:03] <pksadiq> amit2011: usually just above the enter key or left of Backspace key
[18:03] <Sintient> but my problem is that there is virtually no usage Sidewinder1
[18:03] <amit2011> ok
[18:03] <amit2011> thanks guys
[18:03] <amit2011> millenia problem solved!
[18:04] <Sidewinder1> Sintient, Sorry, my responses were directed to dasupergamer
[18:04] <Sintient> I thought this would be a fairly straightforward process. I have been trying to install some Linux distro, but always encounter issues like this.
[18:05] <dasupergamer> i only use ubuntu for testing really... like openoffice or koffice vs office 2010 professional dats all..... or linux  mmorpgs vs windows mmorpgs... which is basuically anything mmorpg on linux vs world of warcraft

[18:12] <Rexodus> Both are installed sam_
[18:12] <kiichiro> on linux what do I do with .bin's?
[18:12] <ktosiek> sam_: you do have both, Ubuntu Classic is GNOME3 IIRC
[18:12] <Sidewinder1> !gnome3 | sam_
[18:12] <kannan_> can't write to /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm even with root prvilages in 10.04 .. pls help me write to this file..
[18:12] <techzilla> ubuntu classic is no graphic effects, which I prefer
[18:13] <dasupergamer> @sam_ when you log in... click on the part to enter password... at the bottom you will see a drop down boss to change to ubuntu classic
[18:13] <ktosiek> techzilla: no, "no effects" is one of "ubuntu classic" versions :-)
[18:13] <baggar11> Anyone ati/amd eyefinity users in here with 3+ monitors? how was your experience setting it up? What card are you using?
[18:13] <sam_> I see .. ok thanks
[18:13] <amit2011> hii
[18:13] <amit2011> any1 know ubuntu-doc irc
[18:13] <techzilla> my bad, I regularly use kde
[18:14] <BluesKaj>  !who > Gargamel , dasupergamer, techzilla, kannan_
[18:14] <pksadiq> kiichiro: double click
[18:14] <Pici> amit2011: #ubuntu-doc oddly enough
[18:14] <techzilla> and ...doze at work,
[18:14] <kiichiro> grr, asks what I want to open it with
[18:14] <techzilla> which I have no choice on, check this even stoopider
[18:14] <Sidewinder1> Thanx, Blue :-)
[18:14] <Pici> Rexodus, ktosiek, sam_: Ubuntu Classic is GNOME 2.x
[18:14] <techzilla> I work AS A LINUX SYSADMIN

[18:14] <sam_> yeah I know .. I asked about Gnome3
[18:14] <kannan_> can't write to /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm even with root prvilages in 10.04 .. pls help me write to this file..
[18:15] <amit2011> Pici: lol
[18:15] <Sintient> morosr, is there another distro or installation method I should use
[18:15] <ktosiek> Pici: thanks, I was sure it's 3 already (I'm using wmii and i3-tree)
[18:15] <pksadiq> kiichiro: chmod +x and double click might be enough if it is really an *executable*
[18:15] <BluesKaj> Sidewinder1, these conversations are getting ridiculous to follow ..ppl have to address their answers to nicks who are asking
[18:15] <sam_> this IRC is really cool ... can I install it on my computer to be a server ?
[18:15] <kiichiro> okay since I've obviously no idea how to install java on linux
[18:15] <techzilla> im currently at work, have time to kill...building php packages
[18:15] <techzilla> I'm going to ppa them when I'm done
[18:15] <XenoPhoenix> If KMS is enabled, I have green output on HDMI till I unplug and replug the TV (goes green again if i turn off and on the TV again), disabling modesetting using i915.modeset=0 fixes this issue however it is not a solution as it also disables graphical acceleration. This only occured with natty, no problems before upgrading, Any ideas?
[18:15] <Sidewinder1> BluesKaj, Totally agree! :-)
[18:15] <Rexodus> Pici: I know. Thats why I told him so :P
[18:16] <rypervenche> hi kiichiro
[18:16] <kiichiro> hey rypervenche
[18:16] <techzilla> php 5.3.6 for lucid coming soon to techzilla ppa
[18:16] <techzilla> hopefully before the next 4 hours
[18:17] <pksadiq> kiichiro: so easier way > right click the file > properties > permisions > tick Execute, and then double click ;)
[18:17] <morosr>  Sintient wich one?
[18:17] <kiichiro> there is no execute tick?
[18:18] <arunkumar413> how to convert some individual pages into their respective pdf in one go
[18:18] <Sidewinder1> kannan_, Open a terminal, type: gksudo gedit, enter your password and it should be able to write to any file...
[18:18] <Sintient> morosr, either. I just want a Linux distro that I can gain some experience with.
[18:18] <pksadiq> kiichiro: by default it will not be ticked,tick it
[18:18] <ktosiek> I'm getting "Error: AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP" when trying to turn nVidia card off on my 1015PN
[18:18] <ktosiek> Any ideas why? (or where to ask?)
[18:18] <techzilla> @Sintient, ubuntu is that distro,
[18:19] <ktosiek> I'm doing: echo '\_SB.PCI0.P0P4.DGPU.DOFF' > /proc/acpi/call; cat /proc/acpi/call
[18:19] <Sintient> morosr, so far all I have experience with is the android os on my phone
[18:19] <techzilla> @Sintient, anything you do hold true in debian as well (except a few ubuntu specific things)
[18:19] <Jo_R> Hi everyone
[18:19] <Jo_R> Why aren't there checksums at http://www.ubuntu.com/download ?
[18:19] <alienmindtrick> so, this morning, trying to update my machine, i ended up updating to 11.10 oneiric instead of updating 11.04. now i can't access my files and folders. any thoughts (besides the obvious: i'm a d**b*ss)
[18:19] <Sintient> techzilla, I am trying with Ubuntu, but have been unsuccessful so far.
[18:19] <Jo_R> What is the checksum of ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386.iso ?
[18:19] <oCean> Jo_R: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes
[18:19] <dasupergamer> dunno why
[18:20] <Jo_R> ah, thanks, oCean
[18:20] <Gargamel1> I give up
[18:20]  * Gargamel1 breaks out his windows XP pro disk
[18:20] <Jo_R> I wouldn't hide it like this.
[18:20] <techzilla> @Sintient what problems you having?
[18:20] <pksadiq> Gargamel1: NO, why?
[18:20] <tomjkear> Greeting community - first timer here!
[18:20] <ktosiek> Gargamel1: that'll hurt.  The gnome version installed is 2.32
[18:21] <Jo_R> In case there's someone responsible here, it's really annoying to have to ask for such things.
[18:21] <tomjkear> damn, short time, gotta go
[18:21] <Sintient> techzilla, I tried using Wubi. I reboot and Ubuntu begins booting but stalls at the desktop/slideshow.
[18:21] <tomjkear> byeee
[18:21] <Gargamel1> trying to get my wifi card going and cannot seem to find the right drivers to install the drivers to get the belkin g wireless card up and ruinning
[18:21] <dasupergamer> well the nyour hardware isn't compatible.....
[18:22] <techzilla> @Sintient, wubi has some issues as of last I tried it (which I got in trouble for, at work)... which was a month ago. I had the same weird issues
[18:22] <Gargamel1> its a Belkin G Wireless F5D7000 Version 1134 with the broadcom chipset
[18:22] <Sintient> @techzilla, any other suggestions?
[18:22] <techzilla> @Sintient, it worked when I logged in with "Ubuntu Classic" mode
[18:22] <pksadiq> Gargamel1: install b43-fwcutter package , hope it would work
[18:22] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, As I'm sure you've already surmised; you'll need to reinstall 11.04. :-(
[18:22] <Gargamel1> if i had net on that box i would
[18:23] <techzilla> @Sintient with gdm you can choose which WM/DE at login
[18:23] <ktosiek> Gargamel1: do you have any other box handy?
[18:23] <Gargamel1> i dont have any connection at all on that computer
[18:23] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, Hope you backed everything up...
[18:23] <antlong> I think i created a user incorrectly, when i ssh in, i see $ in the prompt, instead of the usual user@hostname: prompt. how do i fix this?
[18:24] <Gargamel1> Kt i am on a windows box
[18:24] <techzilla> @antlong, you are missing default .bashrc files
[18:24] <alienmindtrick> sidewinder: trying to reinstall 11.04 is what was suggested yesterday when this actually began. that's how i ended up with 11.10.
[18:24] <techzilla> @antlong do this command in your home dir
[18:24] <alienmindtrick> sidewinder: no, nothing backed up since i had no intention of upgrading, just updating
[18:24] <techzilla> @antlong cp /etc/skel/.bash* ./
[18:24] <impiza> friends i have found a software called CyberLink_PowerDVD11 in windows it can play videos in 3D does linux have any kind of softwares like that
[18:25] <astraljava> Hello everyone, is anyone else missing the possibility of saving a session's applications into "memory" in Startup Applications?
[18:25] <astraljava> This in 11.04
[18:25] <ktosiek> Gargamel1: well, you can download packages and dependencies by hand from packages.ubuntu.com
[18:25] <arunkumar413> hi, i have some 100 individual html pages and i want to convert them to pdf in a single go. plz help me
[18:25] <ktosiek> and then use them when you set up your Ubuntu
[18:25] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, That "should" never happen, by accident.
[18:25] <Sintient> @techzilla, how do I login with Ubuntu Classic mode?
[18:25] <Sidewinder1> !classic
[18:25] <alienmindtrick> sidewinder: i burned 11.04 to CD, but my machine won't boot from CD when i start it with it in the drive, nor will it boot from the CD when i try to manually
[18:26] <tsaknorris> hmm i have ath9k installed to this 11.04 ubuntu but there isnt ath9k.conf file?
[18:26] <tsaknorris> i checked the whole hdd
[18:26] <alienmindtrick> yes yes, i'm sure i'm wrong. it's like calling customer service when something breaks, you're GOING to be wrong
[18:26] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, How did you initially install ubuntu?
[18:26] <alienmindtrick> but the issue is this, how do i fix it?
[18:26] <techzilla> @ Sintient, @ubottu had a good response
[18:26] <Sidewinder1> ^^
[18:27] <alienmindtrick> sidewinder: from CD
[18:27] <techzilla> @Sintient, if you are still freezing between gdm and desktop, tell me
[18:27] <tsaknorris> is there anymore something equal  package to linux-backsport-compat-wireless....
[18:27] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, What changed? It did booy from CD, now it won't?
[18:27] <antlong> arunkumar413: http://pdfcrowd.com/
[18:27] <Sidewinder1> boot, even.
[18:27] <pksadiq> arunkumar413: do you now the app to conver html to pdf?
[18:27] <alienmindtrick> sidewinder: that would seem to be the case, yes
[18:28] <arunkumar413> pksadiq: no
[18:28] <Sintient> @techsilla, i ahe no option to select my username. I have boot options, the Ubuntu load screen and the desktop with slideshow. in that order
[18:28] <oCean> tsaknorris: what would ath9k.conf be used for?
[18:28] <arunkumar413> pksadiq: i think i can do it with openoffice
[18:28] <codinGenesis> i installed ubuntu 11.04... and then after i installed propritory drivers of my graphic card, but after installing them graphical display were not working properly
[18:28] <wirrr> can anyone recommend a good p2p client that connects to gnutella2 and all the kinds of networks like mldonkey connects to
[18:28] <techzilla> @Sintient, this stupid oversight of the wubi people, shoudl'nt stop you from using ubuntu, its still th ebest distro for new people, and truthfully even experienced people
[18:28] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, Did you check your "boot order" in BIOS?
[18:28] <impiza> please pm me
[18:28] <alienmindtrick> sidewinder: how?
[18:28] <tsaknorris> oCean, well i could maybe see the settings because now atheros card isnt working well very bad connection compared to windows side
[18:29] <Sintient> @techzilla, so how do I do it, or where should I look for the ingormation?
[18:29] <Sidewinder1> alienmindtrick, Would you like to take this to PM?
[18:29] <alienmindtrick> sidewinder: whatever's appropriate
[18:29] <techzilla> @Sintient, I used to be a debian only person, but 5 years ago I tried ubuntu and like it.. but it wasn't llike it is now. the last 2 years I tried it agin, and it was flexible like debian but cleaner as well
[18:29] <oCean> tsaknorris: it's a kernelmodule
[18:30] <tsaknorris> yeah it is
[18:30] <arunkumar413> antlong: i'm looking for a batch converter. not a one by one manually
[18:30] <pksadiq> arunkumar413: I think wkhtmltopdf is somewhat like that
[18:30] <oCean> tsaknorris: you can see more info using modinfo ath9k, and change options using /etc/modprobe.d/
[18:30] <techzilla> Sintient: on sex
[18:30] <techzilla> sec
[18:30] <techzilla> ...not commenting on how that typo looked
[18:31] <bil21al> can any one help me.from where can i get guide line about triaging a bug ?
[18:31] <Rexodus> lol
[18:31] <tsaknorris> oCean, parm:           nohwcrypt:Disable hardware encryption (int) <-- i want to enable that
[18:32] <techzilla> @Sintient: ok check this out,http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/04/change-classic-ubuntu-desktop-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal/
[18:32] <techzilla> @Sintient: description with pix
[18:32] <Sintient> @techzilla, sorry, but in my limited and ignorant experience it seems to be more broken than flexible. I have faith that I can find a way to make it work, but it it is becoming more frustrating.
[18:33] <dasupergamer> well......... who'd like to old gmaes like gta san andres that can use opengl for rendoring ported to ubuntu
[18:33] <techzilla> @Sintient, it is not ubuntu that is broken, it is the wubi install method
[18:33] <NCS_One_> can anyone help me install this http://paste.ubuntu.com/628515/
[18:33] <techzilla> @Sintient, it is always recommended to do a regular install... but to just try it out wubi it ok, if working
[18:34] <dasupergamer> use wubi to see if your hardware works... if wubi doesnt work your hardware doesnt work
[18:34] <Sintient> @techzilla, so how do I do a regular install.
[18:34] <impiza> i have found a software called CyberLink_PowerDVD11 in windows it can play videos in 3D !  does linux have any kind of softwares like that
[18:35] <techzilla> @Sintient: that is a whole nother story, its not difficult.. but needs some time and a good description online
[18:35] <Sintient> @dasupergamer, so I should assume that my Eee PC is not practical for Linux? Seems like a sweeping generalization.
[18:35] <techzilla> @Sintient: try wubi with classic install to see if you like it
[18:35] <dasupergamer> what.... can you tell me your make and model.....
[18:36] <dasupergamer> wait not what... shen
[18:36] <Sintient> @dasupergamer, ASUS Eee PC 1015PED-PU17
[18:36] <techzilla> @Sintient, you should.. if your commited to learning you won't regret it, if your serious on having a better computing experience, or commited to being a more able systems person
[18:36] <dasupergamer> thanks
[18:36] <techzilla> @Sintient: I'm not going to lie, transitioning to another OS is always frustrating
[18:37] <dasupergamer> it should work...
[18:37] <Sintient> @techailla, that's why I am here. It took me all morning to figure out how to use IRC
[18:37] <dasupergamer> try fermorting the ubuntu partition and then reinstall ubuntu
[18:37] <dasupergamer> reformating*
[18:38] <techzilla> @Sintient, but I don't know that many people who use GNU/Linux for years and go back to windoze... most that go back to MS either have to for apps, or go back in frustrating defeit after months at most
[18:38] <Giant81> linux can connect to a windows box using RDP, can I set somthing up to use mstsc to connect TO my linux box?
