[00:00] <josua> How can I make an own ubuntu distribution?
[00:00] <vex_> Okay.
[00:00] <VCoolio> Firartix: xrandr -q  to find your options; then: xrandr -s 1024x768
[00:00] <vex_> Well, thanks for the help cousteau.
[00:00] <vex_> Bye.
[00:00] <sam-_-> josua, why would you want to do that?
[00:00] <cousteau> vex_, anyway, the open source driver for your card should work ok,,, what do you get when you run   glxinfo | grep render   on a terminal?
[00:01] <Firartix> o yea worked with -s
[00:01] <Firartix> thanks alot VCoolio
[00:01] <VCoolio> you're welcome
[00:01] <josua> i want to have my own OS
[00:01] <CensoredBiscuit> My cousins windows machine flunked out, the idea of hooking them to ubuntu bothers me though as I would have to support it, to be or not to be.
[00:02] <sam-_-> CensoredBiscuit, then don't do it? :-)
[00:02] <JeopardySholdenK> josua I think that's way off the ubuntu-topic
[00:02] <shcherbak> josua: jubuntu?
[00:02] <jackdi0> hahaha
[00:02] <jackdi0> Jubuntu
[00:03] <CensoredBiscuit> Its like Ubuntu, just a J at the beginning
[00:03] <josua> no, maaybe something similar to the Ubuntu Christian edition
[00:03] <VCoolio> josua: look at remastersys for example
[00:03] <josua> maybe HolyUbuntu, or HolyLinux...
[00:03] <CensoredBiscuit> Is that even around anymore?
[00:04] <josua> yes, I think so
[00:04] <shcherbak> josua: check disto-watch, and yes, you can redistribute ubuntu base into "new" distro (do not expect to have support, tho)
[00:04] <CensoredBiscuit> I mean isn't a background and maybe a bible program enough?
[00:05] <JeopardySholdenK> yeah
[00:05] <JeopardySholdenK> amen
[00:05] <VCoolio> it would have to leave out gigolo when it's xfce based...
[00:05] <josua> why no support?
[00:05] <CensoredBiscuit> I can't think of anything else a  christain would need other than regular ubuntu
[00:06] <JeopardySholdenK> In the end josua computers are makings of evil
[00:06] <durando> guys i cant seem to figure out how to get my synaptics touchpad working any ideas?
[00:06] <pr0ph3t> reall
[00:06] <josua> yes, but they can be used also for good things
[00:06] <shcherbak> josua: there are even tools desinged to do it. No support because it is distro orientated, but if you do not drift far you can use same repos what base.
[00:06] <josua> are you guys christians, or any of you?
[00:06] <pr0ph3t> running runlevel 3 in ubutnu would boot to console or still go to x login?
[00:07] <VCoolio> josua: yes, but that's offtopic
[00:08] <pr0ph3t> sam-_-: I tried the combination you gave me and it responded rebooting the X login screen but still did not respond to keyboard or mouse or trackpad
[00:08] <CensoredBiscuit> Josua, I am.. but as far as my computer the idea of a christian ubuntu seems a bit unnecessary . I mean there are several good bible programs out there, what else would you nee?
[00:08] <VCoolio> pr0ph3t: still x, in ubuntu no difference except for 0 and 6 (or is it 1 and 6)
[00:09] <TaZeR> hey guys can someone give me a quick help-a-rino with something?
[00:09] <Advo> any reason why rsync -zxhvr  would be rscyincing files that already exist in the destination dir? nothing has changed between the files either..
[00:09] <ikonia> guys can you take your fantasty relogious ubuntu version topic to #ubuntu-offtopic or another channel, this one is just for support
[00:09] <josua> maybe religious icons, christian music or login sounds
[00:09] <shcherbak> josua: come my son (/join #ubuntu-offtopic), share the light of elightement.
[00:09] <CensoredBiscuit> sorry I was trying to answer his question, I got caught up.
[00:09] <TaZeR> i was wondering how to get the website packetfind.com working properly under ubuntu, so the links open in xchat?
[00:10] <TaZeR> such a bitch to xdcc now gotta do it manually
[00:10] <josua> how can i start creating an own distro?
[00:10] <ikonia> josua: that's not ontopic for this channel
[00:10] <CensoredBiscuit> josua, thats enough offtopic
[00:10] <josua> do I have to do it with my installed version, or need to download source-codes first?
[00:11] <ikonia> josua: please stop, it's not on-topic for this support channel
[00:11] <TaZeR> does any ubuntu professional know?
[00:11] <shcherbak> josua: /join #ubuntu-offtopic and ask robinetd, he'd love to help you.
[00:11] <pr0ph3t> VCoolio: so there is no way to avoid booting the X login. The keyboard seems to be recognised by the system as the escabe keys I tried alt+ SysRq + k worked somehow, but no responses on the login
[00:12] <TaZeR> can i speak with a manager?
[00:12] <ikonia> TaZeR: what do you want
[00:12] <sam-_-> !ask |TaZeR
[00:12] <TaZeR> i was wondering how to get packetfind.com working with ubuntu, so the links open in xchat and connect me to the server instead of opening a blank page
[00:12] <josua> ok, thanks
[00:13] <ikonia> TaZeR: no idea, try in #xchat
[00:13] <pr0ph3t> sorry I disconnected
[00:13] <TaZeR> so no one here uses xdcc search engines with ubuntu? gotta be some pirates around here who can help
[00:13] <ikonia> TaZeR: not going to discuss illegal activities, this is your only warning
[00:13] <JeopardySholdenK> Ok any newbie broplems here
[00:14] <TaZeR> buzz off ur a lamer
[00:14] <ikonia> JeopardySholdenK: pardon ?
[00:15] <CensoredBiscuit> can someone lazy link me to offtopic
[00:15] <JeopardySholdenK> ikonia: I just want to make my small contribution ?:| ?
[00:15] <ikonia> CensoredBiscuit: what ?
[00:15] <ikonia> JeopardySholdenK: if someone needs help, they will ask for it
[00:16] <JeopardySholdenK> ikonia: ok
[00:16] <Pici> CensoredBiscuit: #ubuntu-offtopic you mean?
[00:16] <CensoredBiscuit> thank you
[00:16] <shcherbak> CensoredBiscuit: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:16] <hal> why do they do such silly things like remove easy access to the nautilus location bar? I just can't seen the sense in it :/
[00:18] <cousteau> is apt-xapian-index important? what would be the consequences of uninstalling it?
[00:18] <boss_mc> Howdy everyone, I'm looking for some kernel panic debugging guidance, I'm definitely starting to think it's a hardware issue but I'm trying to narrow down the component... I've tried memtest and that came back clean after 9 hours and 7 complete runs, so I doubt it's memory.  What should be my next step?
[00:19] <binkula> hi guys
[00:19] <binkula> I have a question about compiz: is it possible to have translucent windows by default?
[00:19] <ikonia> boss_mc: any patterns in the panic, or a regular "thing" that causes it
[00:19] <JeopardySholdenK> hi binkula
[00:19] <binkula> I've managed to toggle opacity with shortcut keys
[00:19] <Jemt> Hello. I'm remastering Ubuntu which is working fine (adding/removing software). I now want to add more keyboard layouts, which I did by creating the necessary configuration file in /home/.gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard&/kbd/ with the required layouts. Unfortunately Gnome doesn't pick up the entries. So it seems creating the file is not sufficient. Can someone help me ?
[00:19] <binkula> but I'm hoping for an automagic solution
[00:21] <Pici> binkula: iirc, there is a way to create transpareny 'rules' in ccsm, you could add all window classes to that and it would apply automatically.
[00:21] <boss_mc> ikonia: It seems fairly random, happens anywhere between 10 mins and three hours after I turn on the PC, happend much less frequently if I stop X and just leave top running, though it still panics if I run prime95's stress test without X running
[00:21] <Pici> binkula: Have you tried asking in #compiz ?
[00:21] <binkula> Pici, aaah good place to start thanks :(
[00:21] <binkula> :) *
[00:21] <binkula> Pici, haha no - I started out in #kubuntu
[00:21] <binkula> I will head there
[00:21] <ikonia> boss_mc: have you tried to capture any of the messages from the panic ?
[00:21] <binkula> but I'm also going to try your idea
[00:21] <boss_mc> ikonia: how would I get the panic text dump (I can see the last few lines in TTY1 after it panics if I'm not using X
[00:22] <boss_mc> ikonia, great minds think alike, shame I don't know how to collect the logs
[00:22] <ikonia> boss_mc: something like net-dump
[00:22] <boss_mc> ikonia, net-dump? I'll google it...
[00:23] <durando> hey guys how can i decrypt my private data folder i've been trying the instructions online but it says that the operation of mounting these encrypted files is not supported
[00:23] <Rypervenche> I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 and when I listen to certain mp3s the sound stops and gives me an error. After that Skype crashes and I have to restart my computer to get it to work again. Can anyone help?
[00:23] <spoken> hi everyone I'm looking for help getting wireless working on my dell laptop.
[00:24] <spoken> right now iwconfig just says "no wireless extensions" after eth0
[00:25] <dissolute> does anyone know how to deal with blurry chinese font rendering?
[00:25] <cousteau> dissolute, blurry as in pixeled?
[00:25] <boss_mc> ikonia, unless I'm failing at google, that's not supplied by canonical...?
[00:25] <mniejszezlo> hi, how can i set default window manager to metacity in 10.04?
[00:25] <CensoredBiscuit> spoken look for restricted drivers
[00:26] <dissolute> cousteau, no. I think they're being antialiased or something
[00:26] <ikonia> boss_mc: look in the repos
[00:26] <c0dered> .
[00:26] <psicobra> Hi all i have just installed ubuntu 10.10 worked great untilll i installed all the updates  then grub was screwed
[00:26] <psicobra> any suggestions
[00:26] <cousteau> dissolute, then maybe they are just too small
[00:26] <boss_mc> ikonia, apt knows nothing about it...
[00:27] <VCoolio> binkula: setting window transparancy also affects text and usability; try murrine gtk engine supporting transparant themes (rgba); e.g. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Another+Gtk+RGBA+module+?content=100968
[00:27] <ikonia> boss_mc: look at crash
[00:27] <dnivra> psicobra, what happens when you try to boot?
[00:27] <Rypervenche> dissolute: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[00:27] <cousteau> dissolute, you can try using a different font rendering method on Appearance > Fonts, try "Better shapes"
[00:27] <binkula> thanks VCoolio
[00:27] <psicobra> dnivra: just get the grub safe boot thing
 10.10
[00:28] <psicobra> dnivra: i can press tab and it lists commands but thats it
[00:28] <iroquois_> after updating 10.04 my minimize button closes firefox instead of minimizing,how could this be fixed?
[00:29] <dnivra> psicobra, you get a grub prompt?
[00:29] <psicobra> dnivra: i have reinstalled ubuntu twice same thing
[00:29] <psicobra> dnivra: yes
[00:29] <dissolute> http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/2097/screenshotsym.png
[00:29] <Rypervenche> dissolute: Go into your font options and then click uhhhh, wait what language is your Ubuntu in?
[00:29] <dissolute> that screenshot kind of shows it, especially in the bold characters.
[00:29] <dissolute> my installation is English
[00:30] <JeopardySholdenK> mniejszezlo: Try this: Goto System->Preferences->Appearance->VIsual Effects and click None.
[00:30] <psicobra> dnivra: normally get the option to select ubuntu or windows not there any more just the grub prompt
[00:30] <dnivra> psicobra, you reinstalled ubuntu twice? you should've just reinstalled grub. anyway even with a reinstall it doesn't get fixed? that's weird.
[00:30] <dnivra> psicobra, goes straight to the prompt?
[00:30] <psicobra> dnivra: yes
[00:30] <shcherbak> iroquois_: reset theme, or get ubuntu tweaks to set buttons again on order
[00:30] <psicobra> dnivra: how do i reinstall grub
[00:31] <dnivra> psicobra, well i really don't have much of a clue. try reinstalling grub; you did reinstall when you installed ubuntu but still-while you wait to see if someone else can help
[00:31] <psicobra> dnivra: how do i reinstall grub
[00:31] <dnivra> psicobra, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 has the instructions
[00:31] <psicobra> thanks

[00:44] <sparrW> I need to make files on a machine with an ubuntu live cd available over the network to another computer. Without an internet connection, there seems to not be a SMB or FTP server on the live cd. Are there other options?
[00:44] <asdfasdf_> I am trying to recover some documents for someone who has Windows Vista, using a live ubuntu CD. Should I normally be able to see the users documents under C:\Users\username\documents (the documents folder is empty)

[00:45] <shcherbak> hal: press user, please to be promped for password.
[00:45] <dnivra> sparrW, i guess you could install them? or you could use scp to copy. the other computer should have ssh-server running.
[00:45] <cousteau> (this is, the drive which has Windows installed)
[00:46] <hal> shcherbak: ahhh :)
[00:46] <asdfasdf_> cousteau: I have done that, that is how I know that C:\Users\username\documents is empty

[00:50] <hal> I've tried escaping it with a backslash, but this causes the issue from before
[00:50] <aeon-ltd> hal: use quotes on the whole path name
[00:51] <hal> aeon-ltd: do you mean all the paths or just the part of the PATH that cotains the space?
[00:51] <itaylor57> KM0201: its amazing if you get a linux compatable computer and have no windowz or compiz, how ubuntu has no problems or issues?

[01:17] <coleslaw> hey can someone tell me how i'd import a virtubalbox vdi from another user's ubuntu login?   it says access denied
[01:18] <coleslaw> or permission denied
[01:18] <dnivra> coleslaw, i think you do not have permissions to access the vdi file?
[01:18] <coleslaw> i imaging i have to do something with the vdi permissions file, but i dont kow what
[01:18]  * skraito say hi all
[01:18] <coleslaw> dnivra: i don't think so, do you know how i can get them?
[01:19] <dnivra> coleslaw, what does ls -l <vdifilename> say?
[01:19] <coleslaw> i want to learn to make a file to where every user on the machine can access/edit it
[01:19] <londonmet050> any one
[01:20] <coleslaw> -rw------- 1 avery avery<PHONE_NUMBER> 2010-12-18 18:40 Windows XP.vdi
[01:20] <coleslaw> avery@Locutus:/share/WindowsXP$
[01:20] <coleslaw> says that
[01:20] <dnivra> coleslaw, notice "rw-------". it means only avery has read and write permissions.
[01:20] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 put all in one post
[01:20] <coleslaw> i see
[01:21] <dnivra> coleslaw, that's weird; you're logged in as avery now?
[01:21] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: ?
[01:21] <coleslaw> yes
[01:21] <coleslaw> i'd like to add user "jennifer" to it so she can hvae read/write access
[01:21] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK:  Trying to write to NTFS based external hd. But getting input/output error
[01:21] <coleslaw> im logged into the account i used to create the virtual machine right now
[01:22] <dnivra> coleslaw, oh! i thought avery had problems accessing it. open up a terminal and run the command "chmod 666 Windows\ XP.vdi" without the quotes
[01:22] <coleslaw> i have this sort of problem with all sorts of files.  i'd like to know how to change these permissions
[01:22] <coleslaw> ok
[01:22] <dnivra> coleslaw, alternative, you can right click the file -> properties -> permissions.
[01:23] <coleslaw> thanks :)
[01:23] <coleslaw> what does chmod 666 mean
[01:23] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet: Does it say precisly that? --- Error message - please.
[01:23] <dnivra> coleslaw, no problem :)
[01:23] <dnivra> !permissions | coleslaw
[01:23] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050: Does it say precisly that? --- Error message - please.
[01:23] <coleslaw> can i do that to any file i want people to be able to access
[01:23] <cousteau> coleslaw, it changes the file permissions to the "evil" mode: read/write permissions for everybody
[01:24] <dnivra> coleslaw, do read the link ubottu gave you ^^
[01:24] <coleslaw> i will, i bookmarked it
[01:24] <coleslaw> thanks a lot guys
[01:24] <coleslaw> when i made this shared directory to put the virtual machine in, i did with typing 777 in the command to create it
[01:24] <coleslaw> whats that mean
[01:24] <coleslaw> someone here said to to that
[01:24] <dnivra> coleslaw, as cousteau said 666 changes to "evil" mode: read/write access to everyone :).
[01:25] <coleslaw> chmod = change mode or something i take it?
[01:25] <dnivra> coleslaw, yeah. do go through the link.
[01:25] <coleslaw> ok i will, thanks!
[01:25] <coleslaw> apprecaite it
[01:26] <cousteau> owner-group-others; 4=read, 2=write, 1=execute; so read+write=6 and 666 means that the owner, group and others will have read-write permissions to it
[01:26] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050?
[01:27] <C00re> the number of the beast
[01:27] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK:  Error creating directory input/output error
[01:29] <dnivra> cousteau, noticed coleslaw left just a little before that?
[01:29] <cousteau> dnivra, isn't it obvious that I didn't?
[01:29] <metalman> alguém do brasil pode me recomendar uns canais, não uso o irc há uns 3 ou 4 anos... OBRIGADO
[01:30] <dnivra> cousteau, i know; so pointing out :).
[01:30] <cousteau> !br
[01:30] <nataventura> hello
[01:31] <nataventura> how do you uninstall linux from the desktop edition?
[01:31] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 is it so that You have been using Your external drive for so far so good in windows?
[01:31] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: I am only used it with media player
[01:32] <londonmet050> and always copied from OSX
[01:32] <londonmet050> and then Ubuntu
[01:33] <binkula> hi JimmyJ
[01:33] <JimmyJ> Hello.
[01:33] <binkula> you're not from chatjunkies by any chance are you?
[01:33] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 so you mean that You have just attached to Your current Ubuntu?
[01:33] <londonmet050> yes
[01:34] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: yes
[01:34] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 well...
[01:34] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 your drive is partly corrupted - Ubuntu tells it while others stay quiet. :)
[01:35] <londonmet050> So I have to earse it
[01:35] <londonmet050> what tools are there to repair the file system
[01:35] <CensoredBiscuit> Gparted
[01:35] <CensoredBiscuit> Live CD
[01:35] <CensoredBiscuit> Trinty Rescue CD
[01:36] <CensoredBiscuit> Sysrecue
[01:36] <londonmet050> ok
[01:36] <CensoredBiscuit> personally I recommend Trinty Rescue CD
[01:36] <JeopardySholdenK> memtest86+, badblocks, smartctl
[01:36] <londonmet050> well it repair without deleting stuff
[01:36] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 memtest86+, badblocks, smartctl
[01:37] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: Well any of these repair without data being lost
[01:37] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 don't know :D
[01:37] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050 perhaps you'll take some hit ;)
[01:38] <londonmet050> well I am just wondering
[01:38] <londonmet050> I can create new directories but sometimes it is yelling
[01:38] <londonmet050> So I take it as NTFS corrupted
[01:39] <JeopardySholdenK> Look this londonmet050: http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-faq/    --->>> What does the “I/O error” mean?
[01:39] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK: I tried to copy something it did
[01:40] <swim> hey, why is my theme always changing?
[01:40]  * skraito say hi all
[01:40] <londonmet050> JeopardySholdenK:  Thanks
[01:42] <aeon-ltd> swim: more details
[01:42] <JeopardySholdenK> londonmet050: np
[01:43] <swim> aeon-ltd idk, it seems like many times i restart my computer, the theme changes..  if i select a specific theme, then within the next couple boots, it'll change itself, and it will always have the custom selected in the themes selection app under system, preferences, appearance, themes
[01:44] <londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit: You think trinty rescue cd can reapir ntfs file system
[01:44] <chills518> I got wireless to connect but I have to run both "sudo modprobe lib8021" and "insmod wl.ko" every time I boot to get it to connect.  How can I make this a permanent change so it connects automatically on bootup?
[01:44] <industry__> chills518: you can add it to your init scripts
[01:45] <CensoredBiscuit> It might personally I know of it. My professor recommends it, so Its worth a shot right?
[01:45] <sam-_-> chills518 put it in /etc/modules
[01:45] <industry__> i.e. crontab -e, add an entry called @reboot
[01:45] <londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit:  in school?
[01:46] <sam-_-> industry, why not /etc/modules
[01:46] <sam-_-> industry, much easier
[01:46] <CensoredBiscuit> I don't know alot of NTFS
[01:46] <industry__> yeah good point you have sam, it's because i forgot about that file
[01:47] <chills518> do I just add those two lines to the modules file?
[01:47] <sam-_-> chills518 yes. without the extension .ko
[01:48] <chills518> kk... will do it now and let you know.  thank you both for the input...
[01:48] <sam-_-> and put wl.ko in /lib/modules somewhere
[01:49] <chills518> do I need the sudo in from as well or just "modprobe lib8021" and "insmod wl.ko"?
[01:49] <chills518> *in front
[01:50] <sam-_-> chills518, no. just the name of module. no modprobe. no sudo
[01:51] <forestbear> hey guys
[01:51] <greezmunkey> .
[01:51] <forestbear> can someone check if something iswrong with my fstab file?
[01:51] <forestbear> http://pastebin.com/Qch6qRJV
[01:51] <spencer_> hey guys, I need to know how to write a filder to an ISO
[01:51] <CensoredBiscuit> hey forestbear welcome to #ubuntu
[01:51] <sam-_-> chills518, modprobe looks  in the module directory /lib/modules/`uname -r` for all the modules and other files,
[01:51] <Jemt> spencer_: Look up genisoimage
[01:51] <CensoredBiscuit> Spencer_ use Brasero
[01:52] <CensoredBiscuit> if your using ubuntu already that is
[01:52] <sam-_-> chills518, make sure wl.ko is stored somewhere in this dir
[01:52] <spencer_> checking brasero
[01:52] <swim> hey, does anybody know of an app that is like "startup disk creater" that I can install which will allow me to create boot usbs for OSs like debian, DSL, puppy and the likes???
[01:52] <sam-_-> chills518, you compiled wl.ko yourself right?
[01:52] <greezmunkey> Jemt: Hadn't heard of that one, thanks :)
[01:52] <Jemt> :)
[01:52] <spencer_> censoredbiscuit I'm modifying a boot disc, will that still let me make it a boot disc?
[01:53] <CensoredBiscuit> Yea.
[01:53] <chills518> yeah.  I downloaded it from a page and went through the "make" process if that is what you are meaning.. this is all kind of new to me...
[01:53] <spencer_> censoredbiscuit aww yeeaa thanks a ton man
[01:53] <CensoredBiscuit> I use it to burn copies of ubuntu all the time Spencer_
[01:53] <CensoredBiscuit> No worries thats what i'm here fore
[01:53] <CensoredBiscuit> for*
[01:53] <forestbear> cuz I can't boot into ubuntu
[01:54] <greezmunkey> swim: You could take a look around at bootdisk.com for some ideas.
[01:54] <forestbear> in particular i noticed that when it says "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx doesn't exist!", the entire /dev/disk/by-uuid folder doesn't exist
[01:54] <swim> cool, thanks
[01:54] <ao> anyone know how to adjust screen resolution in ubuntu 9.04 beyond what is listed in system preferences display?
[01:54] <forestbear> so if anyone could help tha would be great :D
[01:58] <greezmunkey> forestbear: what error do you get on boot?
[01:59] <forestbear> greezmunkey: "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx doesn't exist!"
[01:59] <sam-_-> ao, are you sure your hardware supports it?
[01:59] <greezmunkey> forestbear: you should be able to run sudo blkid to see the uuids available
[02:01] <ao> sam: not sure... how can i check?
[02:02] <JeopardySholdenK> See you later alligators! ;)
[02:02] <Jordan_U> forestbear: That most likely means that none of your partitions are being recognized. /dev/disk/by-uuid/ only exists when there are entries to go in it.
[02:02] <forestbear> greezmunkey: the uuids are correct
[02:02] <forestbear> jordan_u: how do i fix that?
[02:03] <Guest5813> boa noite?
[02:03] <error_203> jordan_U: are u a chess player
[02:03] <Guest5813> ?
[02:03] <Jordan_U> !ot | error_203
[02:03] <londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit: Thanks for info
[02:04] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Has Ubuntu ever worked on this machine?
[02:04] <CensoredBiscuit> someone say something just before I cleared my screen to mee
[02:04] <CensoredBiscuit> what was it?
[02:04] <forestbear> jordan_u: yes for a long time
[02:04] <Jordan_U> 18:05 < londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit: Thanks for info
[02:05] <forestbear> jordan_u: only recently it stopped
[02:05] <aeon-ltd> CensoredBiscuit: "LONDONMET050: CENSOREDBISCUIT: Thanks for info"
[02:05] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Does it work if you select an older kernel?
[02:05] <CensoredBiscuit> londonmet050 sorry I couldnt help more, just knew the names of things that Might help
[02:05] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: so should he force a fsck an see what it finds? Or will that even work?
[02:05] <londonmet050> CensoredBiscuit: Every little bit helps
[02:06] <forestbear> Jordan_U: I actually removed the older entries from my grub boot list thing.... :/
[02:06] <cdtx21x> hola
[02:06] <Jordan_U> greezmunkey: I expect that it's a problem with missing/broken drivers in the initrd.
[02:07] <CryptoSec> hey I was wondering if I can use the 10.04 amd64 bit CD I just downloaded to install it on my Intel processor? or is it only for AMD base processors?
[02:07] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: forestbear how did you edit grub?
[02:07] <Jordan_U> CryptoSec: Yes, Intel uses the AMD64 architecture.
[02:07] <forestbear> greezmunkey: using the kubuntu startup editor thing (though I use ubuntu, not kubuntu)
[02:08] <CensoredBiscuit> hey guys how can I set permission for a partition that is empty?
[02:08] <CensoredBiscuit> and unmounted
[02:08] <chills518> sam-_-:  I put both "lib80211" and "wl" into the modules file and after reboot it was still not auto connecting.  strange..
[02:08] <CensoredBiscuit> at any specfic location
[02:09] <industry__>  you mount it, then you set permissions. then unmount it.
[02:10] <CryptoSec> good to know... but why don't they just label it ubuntu 64-bit   instead of AMD64... I can see it confusing a lot of people...
[02:10] <CensoredBiscuit> do i have to login as root to do that industry_?
[02:10] <industry__> it's called amd because amd made up the instruction set, i think
[02:10] <sam-_-> chills518, did you copy you wl file into the modules dir
[02:10] <industry__> andyes, you have to be root
[02:10] <itaylor57> CryptoSec: historical thing made made for amd first
[02:11] <cardona507> does ubuntu come with a .bashrc file out of the box? and if so where may I find it? thanks
[02:11] <CensoredBiscuit> industry so that requires unlocking my root
[02:11] <sam-_-> chills518, you may have to run "sudo depod -a" after that
[02:11] <sam-_-> chills518, you may have to run "sudo depmod -a" after that
[02:11] <CensoredBiscuit> cardona507,
[02:11] <industry__> are you locked out?
[02:11] <chills518> it is in "/lib/modules/2.6.35-23-generic/kernel/net/wireless"  will this not work?
[02:11] <Jordan_U> CryptoSec: Intel had a 64 bit only (could not run 32 bit code) architecture before AMD came up with an architecture that was backwards compatible. Though that's mostly history now, so I agree just "64 bit" might be better.
[02:11] <CensoredBiscuit> industry_ I keep it locked
[02:11] <lacy> can someone help me connect my ubuntu server to a windows share?
[02:11] <greezmunkey> forestbear: look in /etc/default/grub are there any backup grub files evident?
[02:11] <cardona507> CensoredBiscuit: yes?
[02:12] <CryptoSec> also the netbook isn't particularly for my thinkpad notebook? correct? I should be okay with the Desktop version
[02:12] <CensoredBiscuit> Go to home/user/ then go to view > hidden items and then look for .bashrc
[02:12] <itaylor57> Jordan_U: better explaination than mine :>)
[02:12] <sam-_-> chills518, run "sudo depmod -a" then try modprobe wl. what does it say?
[02:12] <CensoredBiscuit> unless you want the root on
[02:12] <CensoredBiscuit> then go to root and do the same
[02:12] <cardona507> how do I view hidden items from the command line?
[02:12] <Jordan_U> greezmunkey: Settings for update-grub are stored in /etc/default/grub, actual entries are stored in /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[02:12] <itaylor57> CryptoSec: desktop will work fine
[02:13] <CensoredBiscuit> they should already show
[02:13] <Jordan_U> cardona507: ls -a
[02:13] <lacy> I am getting an error that says mount error(127): Key has expired when I try to mount the share
[02:13] <itaylor57> CryptoSec: running desktop on a 13 inch
[02:13] <chills518> no results after modprobe wl... hmmm
[02:14] <sam-_-> chills518, it says nothing. then everything is fine
[02:14] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: I'm on shaky ground, but was asking him to see if the tool he used to edit grub may have made a copy of the original.
[02:14] <CryptoSec> Jordan_U: I agree.. hey ... everything that I have is in AMD.... first time bought an Intel base processor... but for an average person visiting the web site I think just displaying "ubantu-64bit.iso" makes a lot more sense...
[02:14] <sam-_-> chills518, try rebooting now
[02:14] <chills518> sounds good... brb... thank you
[02:14] <CryptoSec> I actually have w500 with a real good graphics card...  I made sure of that....
[02:15] <itaylor57> CryptoSec: you will be more happy with desktop of netbook unity
[02:15] <greezmunkey> forestbear: did you see Jordan_U's response about /boot/grub/grub.cfg ? Look in /boot/grub to see if there is a backup file.
[02:15] <forestbear> ok
[02:16] <CryptoSec> what-a!  is there Bot in freenode?
[02:16] <Jordan_U> CryptoSec: There is a bug report about that here if you want to look at the reasoning given for keeping things the way they are: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/322372
[02:16] <cardona507> is getting auto completion on tab from bash something that I would put in .bashrc?
[02:16] <aeon-ltd> cardona507: no its a built in function to have tab-completion
[02:17] <forestbear> greezmunkey, jordan_u: I have a backup, seems quite old though, from when I updated from 9.04
[02:17] <cardona507> i created a linode ubuntu last night and hte .bashrc file that it came with is workable - today i am working on a boss's server and his .bashrc file is the same as my other one but it isn't taking effect
[02:17] <Jordan_U> CryptoSec: Sorry, after loading the entire page (bad connection on my end) I see that bug report isn't very usefull.
[02:17] <itaylor57> cardona507: its a part of standard bash
[02:17] <chills518> sam-_-:  worked perfect!  thank you very much!!
[02:17] <lacy> I'm using the command: sudo mount -t cifs //server-ip/foldershare/ -o username=Guest,password= /home/user/folder
[02:17] <cardona507> is there any reason it wouldn't be happening?
[02:17] <greezmunkey> forestbear: yeah, I would tell you to use that one.
[02:17] <CryptoSec> is there a freenode bot?? what's going on here I guess freenode is turning into yahoo-chat
[02:17] <greezmunkey> forestbear: I meant to type not use that one!!!
[02:17] <forestbear> greezmunkey: okay I'll try it
[02:17] <forestbear> oh
[02:17] <sam-_-> chills518, sure np
[02:17] <jnor> how can i have secure read write access to my ext4 partitions in Windows?
[02:17] <forestbear> phew
[02:18] <greezmunkey> forestbear: no!
[02:18] <Jordan_U> forestbear: How did you remove the older kernels?
[02:18] <Shadowjedi01> Hi there
[02:18] <Shadowjedi01> are any of you ubuntu guru's?
[02:18] <greezmunkey> forestbear:  there sould have been a "'nt" at the end of "would"...
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> I'm having issues with my Evolution client
[02:19] <industry__>  as far as i know, thereis no way to access a extzf from windows
[02:19] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: we are willing helpers here
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> anyone care to give me a hand
[02:19] <cardona507> i feel like this bash is crippled - I wonder whats up?
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> awesome
[02:19] <forestbear> Jordan_U: with the kubuntu startup editor thing, I don't think that's the problem though as it booted fine for a while even after I changed the menu
[02:19] <greezmunkey> forestbear: so, there is a grub.cfg file present?
[02:19] <CryptoSec> Jordan_U: thanks for the inquiry
[02:19] <luneth95> anyone know how to fix (process:346): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) error?
[02:19] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: whats the probleim
[02:19] <cardona507> it's won't even auto complete with tab
[02:19] <chills518> sam-_-: if I make changes the modules file do I need to run the depmod -a each time?
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> ok
[02:19] <industry__> oh wow, i mean ext4
[02:19] <sam-_-> jnor, what do you mean by secure?
[02:19] <Shadowjedi01> hold on let me open it up
[02:19] <cardona507> there are no colors - its all black and white
[02:19] <cardona507> yet the .bashrc file is the same as my other ubuntu
[02:19] <sam-_-> chills518, no
[02:20] <forestbear> greezmunkey: nope, in /boot/grub there is no grub.cfg file
[02:20] <sam-_-> chills518, but if you update your kernel you have to rebuild wl.ko and run depmod again
[02:20] <Shadowjedi01> unable to authenticate imap server
[02:20] <industry__> cardona, you are probably using dash, not bash. check to see wha shell you're running
[02:20] <Shadowjedi01> I've been trying to sync it with my gmail all day and I'm about to rip out my hair
[02:20] <jnor> sam-_-: before when I had access to my ext2 partitions from windows, I had always mandatory disk check at linux boot
[02:21] <greezmunkey> forestbear: booting my buntu box now.
[02:21] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: checking
[02:21] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Do you have more than one vmlinuz-2.6.* file in /boot/?
[02:21] <jnor> sam-_-: I want a software that wouldn't harm my ext4 partition
[02:21] <chills518> sam-_-: kk... thanks...
[02:21] <luneth95> um hello?  can someone help me with (process:346): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0) error
[02:21] <luneth95> it wont even let me get to the desktop
[02:22] <Sazpaimon> so I made a USB image of ubuntu using the universal USB installer, but when I try to boot it on my laptop, it says "SYSLINUX" with the version info and just reboots
[02:22] <Shadowjedi01> I never knew this IRC resource was available to me before
[02:22] <rww> CryptoSec: the FloodBots are used by #ubuntu to help prevent spam. They're not freenode-owned.
[02:22] <Jordan_U> Sazpaimon: What OS did you create the USB from and what version of Ubuntu were you putting on the USB?
[02:22] <Shadowjedi01> this kicks the shit out of browsing throng the forums
[02:23] <bl01zk> Are there any software packages on Ubuntu that will let me wireless into a computer that is ran in terminal?
[02:23] <nit-wit> Shadowjedi01, it has its limitations
[02:23] <Shadowjedi01> such as?
[02:23] <forestbear> jordan_u: yes, many
[02:23] <Shadowjedi01> well I don't expect any of you to compile a whole new distro for me
[02:24]  * KM0201 has a massive headache
[02:24] <luneth95> ummmmm hello??? any person gonna help me with my problem?
[02:24] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: http://wazem.blogspot.com/2007/10/hot-to-configure-imap-on-evolution-and.html
[02:24] <Sazpaimon> Jordan_U, windows 7 for the first one, let me get back to you for the second question, I made it a while ago
[02:24] <luneth95> is pissed off no one will help
[02:24] <CryptoSec> rww: oh that makes sense.... good idea... but wouldn't naming it SpamBlocker would a lot better and less alarming?  just an idea...
[02:24] <Shadowjedi01> I'll check it out
[02:24] <Shadowjedi01> thanks taylor
[02:24] <Sazpaimon> you know what, I may as well just make one from scratch again
[02:24] <Jordan_U> !patience | luneth95

[02:24] <MeXiOuS> hi everyone, just wondering if there are any asterisk gurus here?
[02:24] <luneth95> oh ok
[02:24] <Sazpaimon> I'm trying to boot this on a pavilion ZE5500 i found by a dumpster
[02:24] <rww> CryptoSec: They're bots that stop floods. The floods happen to be mostly spam (and confused new users) ;)
[02:25] <Sazpaimon> will ubuntu support the oldass hardware on this, notably the wireless
[02:25] <nit-wit> Shadowjedi01, a really complex proble some times at the least needs to be done in a dialogue that may include pastebin text and pictures. Also just a lot of help that is sketchy, a person has to know when there help is not helping.
[02:25] <Sazpaimon> http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00047498&lang=en&cc=us&taskId=101&prodSeriesId=367703&prodTypeId=321957 here's the spec page
[02:25] <lexvegas> Does anyone know if i can transfer my GPG/PGP key to multiple computers by just copying the directory it is in under my home folder?
[02:25] <Shadowjedi01> nit, I totally understand what you mean
[02:25] <metrix> is there a way to boot a windows partition from grub that isn't in the grub list?
[02:26] <industry__> lexvegas: try it out and tell us
[02:26] <CryptoSec> rww: true... I give you that one...
[02:26] <error_203> what is tree command stands for?
[02:26] <nit-wit> Shadowjedi01, good group of people though we all fail at times. ;)
[02:26] <dw-> lexvegas: wouldnt that overwrite your keyring
[02:26] <CryptoSec> rww: smart idea...
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> yea
[02:26] <Jordan_U> metrix: Yes, but usually if update-grub doesn't find a windows installation it's because it's not actually bootable (missing its system partition for example).
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> I just want to give back to the community
[02:26] <greezmunkey> forestbear: can you paste /boot/grub/grub.cfg to paste.ubuntu.com please
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> I have been using ubuntu for about 2 years now
[02:26] <dw-> lexvegas: make a backup. verify the backup.
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> and I am fairly good
[02:26] <Shadowjedi01> but not a pro by any measure
[02:27] <lexvegas> industry__, the problem is that i need to reinstall, but i only have one computer that i can test on.
[02:27] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: glad it worked
[02:27] <lexvegas> dw-, can i use keyring to do that?
[02:27] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Make that your /boot/grub/menu.lst.
[02:27] <Shadowjedi01> itaylor57, I tried configuring it to pop earlier and it gave me the same message
[02:27] <metrix> Jordan_u the problem is I can't get grub to work on my laptop, even after re-installing.. so  I wanted to run it directly from a usb grub
[02:27] <Jordan_U> greezmunkey: forestbear is using grub legacy.
[02:27] <dw-> lexvegas: just backup anything you overwrite by making a proper copy of all the hidden files
[02:27] <industry__> ah. but you should still backup your keys, then einstall.
[02:27] <lexvegas> dw-, alright sounds good
[02:28] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: ah, I guess I missed that, I'l beg off.
[02:28] <Jordan_U> metrix: What problem are you having with grub specifically?
[02:28] <User51> can somebody help me with a small question?
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> ask away User51
[02:28] <Jordan_U> greezmunkey: He never said it explicitly, I just assumed that from the lack of a /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[02:28] <Shadowjedi01> itaylor57, but there is lots of good info in this blog you gave me
[02:28] <forestbear> greezmunkey, jordan_u:

[02:29] <itaylor57> Shadowjedi01: overall evolution has worked forme
[02:29] <MeXiOuS> does anyone know how to fix this error in asterisk loaded to ubuntu? "app_playback.c: ast_streamfile failed on SIP/ for custom" "No such file or directory"
[02:29] <User51> i want to know how to get the addres bar like in Windos example D:/Documents/123/
[02:29] <User51> windows*
[02:29] <Shadowjedi01> itaylor57, yea I had it set up with my hotmail account but then I want away to army basic and forgot my password  so I had to start an entirely new account
[02:29] <Shadowjedi01> and with my hotmail account it worked fine
[02:30] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Are you familiar with the "chroot" command?
[02:30] <forestbear> jordan_u: is that similar to chown?
[02:30] <metrix> jordan_u: after running my Windows 7 partition grub is destroyed (possibly a virus? I've scanned several times, can't find anything) I had to re-install grub.. after it is re-installed, my Toshiba nb205 hangs where grub loads.

[02:30] <Shadowjedi01> itaylor57, Officer or Enlisted?
[02:30] <Jordan_U> forestbear: No. It's a way of running commands from a system you're not booted into, as if you were. (changes the apparent root directory).
[02:31] <XshoppyX> User51: You are going to have to use the congif-editor and change a value in there to show the location bar

[02:32] <greezmunkey> forestbear: paste the output of the "mount" command
[02:33] <Jordan_U> forestbear: No, that's the device name. The mount point is the directory through which you can access the files on that partition.

[02:39] <lacy> r00t4rd3d, no I have not -do I need to do that?
[02:39] <r00t4rd3d> login into windows and make sure the pass is still good

[02:40] <forestbear> Jordan_U: if it's possible to accomplish in windows I'd prefer that
[02:40] <forestbear> and yes I can access the partiion

[02:53] <Osaka> hello :)
[02:53] <lcd15000> @purp you can mount iso files with the mount command
[02:54] <sam-_-> numberz, sry for my ignorance but i really don't understand
[02:54] <luneth95>  Jordan_U: I got tired of loging in as live use so I made my acc and set to autologon to the new acc

[02:54] <purp> thanks
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> purp: sudo mkdir /media/iso ; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso    Linux has had this functionality for AGES, windows needs 3rd party apps because it is very lacking
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> purp: in that command, all you need to do is change the file.iso name and path, you can then use the same mount point for future mounts of iso files
[02:55] <Etreus> buenos dias... hay algun canal para español... soy de paraguay...
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> !es
[02:55] <purp> gotcha..appreciate that...
[02:55] <icesword> what doyou mean by very lacking?
[02:55] <purp> didn't realize it was that easy
[02:56] <purp> right click or the mounting option
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> purp: np, simple things lad. There are nautilus scripts which allow you to mount and unmount in nautilus but I dont use gui much for that sort of jazz
[02:56] <pokir> I've used windows all my life, is it worth it/will it be hard to switch to ubuntu? i realize i won't be able to play as many games but is that the only downside? ... and on the game note is there any kind of VM or something I could use to run games?
[02:56] <r00t4rd3d> pokir, wine
[02:56] <EnigmaticCoder> pokir: Or you could dual boot and use Windows only for games
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> pokir: depends on the individual
[02:57] <Etreus> #ubuntu-es
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> pokir: depends what games
[02:57] <r00t4rd3d> anything with punkbuster and your beat
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> pokir: virtualisation will run games pretty poorly
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> r00t4rd3d: urbanterror uses it as far as I remember
[02:58] <EnigmaticCoder> pokir: Ubuntu isn't too hard, in my opinion. You can use it almost like it is Windows, if you want. My parents use it and they aren't very computer literate. I help them if anything goes wrong, however
[02:58] <PeterFabinskiMbl> ActionParsnip, pm me
[02:58] <sam-_-> can someone explain to me why some people find it rude to pm them without asking them first? honest question
[02:59] <PeterFabinskiMbl> sam-_-, i dont
[02:59] <r00t4rd3d> other people can benefit from your q/a too
[02:59] <EnigmaticCoder> sam-_-: I've heard someone say that they don't like another blinking tab on top of all the other tabs they have open. I don't mind it though
[02:59] <luneth95> ummm poiple?
[03:00] <luneth95> how do I change wo I logon as?
[03:00] <luneth95> because I'm stuck at (process:346): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
[03:00] <r00t4rd3d> su name
[03:00] <PeterFabinskiMbl> r00t4rd3d, i guess so
[03:00] <luneth95> is that the command?
[03:00] <luneth95> su name?
[03:01] <r00t4rd3d> um i dont think su will help with that error
[03:01] <feanor2> how to install mandriva
[03:01] <wedwo-> sam-_-, if you arrived here looking for help and found everyone busy in PM sessions and not answering you you'd be irked. And then the "support" part of this chanel would cease to exist.
[03:01] <lcd15000> no thoughs on LVM vs XFW?
[03:01] <feanor2> s rmp in debian?
[03:01] <luneth95> then what might help with that error?
[03:02] <lcd15000> *XFS
[03:02] <sam-_-> wedwo-, i didn't think of that
[03:02] <pokir> so it wouldn't be too hard to replace windows then?  everything I've seen from people at college it looked really complex and problems are hard to figure out but maybe thats just because I've never used it before
[03:02] <Te3-BloodyIron> hey, I'm trying to restart my X session as it's frozen, but restarting GDM hasn't done anything and I can't find a useful pid to kill. what can i do besides rebooting?
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: ALT+K+PrintScreen
[03:02] <EnigmaticCoder> pokir: Why replace windows instead of dual booting?
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> pokir: probably inexperience making it look hard, its simple
[03:03] <feanor2> pokir, try wubi, it's the best method by far
[03:03] <Te3-BloodyIron> ActionParsnip: what does that do?
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: restarts the X server
[03:03] <PeterFabinskiMbl> is there a way to see 2 OSes at the same time
[03:03] <Te3-BloodyIron> any way i can do this through ssh?
[03:04] <EnigmaticCoder> PeterFabinskiMbl: What do you mean see 2 OSes?
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: kill GDM will do it
[03:04] <r00t4rd3d> luneth95, your using an old version of a live cd ?
[03:04] <Te3-BloodyIron> i tried t.t
[03:04] <Te3-BloodyIron> any other ways?
[03:04] <feanor2> how to know what installed package size is?
[03:04] <EnigmaticCoder> PeterFabinskiMbl: You can view files on two OSes at the same time
[03:04] <lcd15000> PeterFabinskiMbi: sure, but in what context?
[03:04] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, did you sudo restart gdm?
[03:04] <pokir> EnigmaticCoder: I usually just leave my computer running until it crashes... was just hoping to find something more stable I guess
[03:05] <icesword> !dpkg
[03:05] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: i didn't sudo, i logged in as root, i know i know :P
[03:05] <Te3-BloodyIron> alt k prscr did not reboot x :(
[03:05] <Te3-BloodyIron> er restart
[03:05] <luneth95> r00t4rd3d: no I'm using ubuntu 10.10 on a usb
[03:06] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, you need to be on the tty where x is on
[03:06] <icesword> ctrl alt f7
[03:06] <Te3-BloodyIron> yeah i have physical access
[03:06] <Te3-BloodyIron> but im also trying to figure out a way to do it through ssh
[03:06] <EnigmaticCoder> pokir: It's up to you, but I'd personally keep both OSes until I tried Ubuntu for about a month or two to see if it's easy enough for me to use
[03:06] <PeterFabinskiMbl> EnigmaticCoder, like linux and another os and see both

[03:08] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, if this doesn't work your system has crashed.
[03:08] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: but i can ssh into it?

[03:08] <r00t4rd3d> luneth95, have you updated your system since install ?
[03:08] <Te3-BloodyIron> well, it hasnt :/
[03:08] <PeterFabinskiMbl> like running 2 computers at the same time, but only one computer? like a vm?
[03:08] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, i don't suppose you run a custom kernel?
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> no
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> i run the kernel provided for mythbuntu
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> and whatever updates it receives
[03:09] <Osaka> How can I work out which /dev/* is my DVD drive? for some reason dvd is not it :/ lol I'm trying to use dd to copy it to my HDD
[03:09] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, then your doing sth. wrong
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> Osaka: sudo lshw -C drive
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> well, i dont know what that might be
[03:09] <EnigmaticCoder> I probably wouldn't use this, but is it possible to have a GUI open on one monitor and a text terminal open on the second?
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: i'd go with logging on as root being the wrong bit
[03:09] <Te3-BloodyIron> it seems to happen at random, but usually after longer periods of time
[03:09] <EnigmaticCoder> by text terminal I mean like alt + f1
[03:10] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, alt + sysreq + k. try it again :-)
[03:10] <Te3-BloodyIron> and it only started doing it the last few months

[03:12] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: well, anyways, do you have any suggestions what could be causing this crashing?
[03:12] <zetter> my taskbar disappeared after autohide and doesnt show again
[03:12] <zetter> this is troubling me
[03:12] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: because i can't find any suggestive feedback as to what could be doing it
[03:12] <pclinux-10> i
[03:12] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, check the log files
[03:12] <Te3-BloodyIron> sam-_-: yeah i know, but so much logs, i dont know which ones i should check first
[03:13] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, what does crashing mean exactly. does x freeze?
[03:13] <r00t4rd3d> Ummm
[03:13] <Te3-BloodyIron> yeahj

[03:13] <EnigmaticCoder> Is there a keystroke to open a new bash terminal?
[03:13] <FloodBot1> Te3-BloodyIron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:13] <Te3-BloodyIron> and it appears dameons and other htings work in the background
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: if you log on as your user you will have fewer issues
[03:13] <sam-_-> Te3-BloodyIron, then these files /var/log/Xorg*
[03:13] <PeterFabinskiMbl> EnigmaticCoder, use both monitors as 1 desktop: the gui on one and a terminal on the other

[03:14] <greezmunkey> EnigmaticCoder: Don't think so, but "gnome-terminal" should spawn another one.
[03:14] <zetter> thx
[03:14] <Jordan_U> forestbear: Add this entry to the end of your /boot/grub/menu.lst and try booting with it: http://pastebin.com/spYaRBD9
[03:14] <r00t4rd3d> err sudo apt-get update should work
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> moszer: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html
[03:15] <Osaka> ActionParsnip: nothing came up but I think when I ran it without the -class parameter it listed the logical names for it as /dev/cdrom
[03:15] <Te3-BloodyIron> ActionParsnip: come again? i don't login as root locally
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> Osaka: try: sudo lshw -C disk  then
[03:15] <luneth95>  r00t4rd3d: how do you login as failsafe?
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> Te3-BloodyIron: good
[03:15] <r00t4rd3d> when you system boots you see a menu of choices ?

[03:16] <luneth95>  r00t4rd3d: yes I do
[03:16] <moszer> ActionParsnip: http://www.prolink2u.com/new/products/index.php?cid=106
[03:16] <r00t4rd3d> one should be listed as failsafe and bring you to prompt maybe
[03:16] <greezmunkey> EnigmaticCoder: nice!
[03:16] <Osaka> ActionParsnip: that worked thank you XD
[03:16] <Te3-BloodyIron> ActionParsnip: yeah yeah :P

[03:17] <luneth95> test memory
[03:17] <sam-_-> mhfs, su <username>

[03:17] <r00t4rd3d> run from usb
[03:17] <sam-_-> EnigmaticCoder, i doubt it :-)
[03:17] <PeterFabinskiMbl> EnigmaticCoder, whats that?
[03:17] <rww> Te3-BloodyIron: fglrx is rather crap, so yes
[03:17] <luneth95>  r00t4rd3d: I did that
[03:17] <Te3-BloodyIron> rww: yeah but i need it for what i want to do

[03:18] <r00t4rd3d> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
[03:18] <EnigmaticCoder> PeterFabinskiMbl: Mouseless browsing lets you select links with a hotkey and a number
[03:19] <r00t4rd3d> when you boot will give you an option , windows or ubuntu
[03:19] <EnigmaticCoder> PeterFabinskiMbl: It might be more elaborate than that, but I think you get the point
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> mhfs: create a scipt with the stuff you want to run, then use the init script to run:  su - foo -c script    change foo to the name of the user and script to the script name (I suggest using absolute paths)
[03:19] <moszer> anyone pls, kindly help me
[03:19] <forestbear> jordan_u: ok i'll be back in a bit

[03:28] <ForestBear> jordan_u: it worked, i am now in ubuntu
[03:28] <PeterFabinskiMbl> EnigmaticCoder, is that the command for (example) lala?
[03:28] <Sary> ActionParsnip, Yeah , a Linux Miracle :D
[03:29] <johnyh> how Wubi works?
[03:29] <r00t4rd3d> great i personally think
[03:29] <johnyh> where is linux pseudo partition created by wubi? is it a file on windows?
[03:30] <PeterFabinskiMbl> is there a wubi-like thing for mac?
[03:30] <Jordan_U> ForestBear: Ok. Try running "sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.32-25-generic" Then see if you can boot from the newer kernel.
[03:30] <indio> Hi. Can I add 7zip support to file-roller?
[03:31] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: No, because linux doesn't have write support for OSX's default filesystem (journaled hfsplus) yet.
[03:31] <moszer> ActionParsnip: i hope so, atleast it detect something, sadly, nothing happen
[03:31] <amosk> johnyh: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> indio: sure: sudo apt-get install p7zip
[03:31] <Jordan_U> johnyh: Yes, it's in C:\ubuntu\disks\root.diks
[03:31] <indio> ActionParsnip: Many thanks.
[03:32] <PeterFabinskiMbl> Jordan_U, rats. is there a virtual machine emulator or something?
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> indio: you can also extract in cli with:  7z x filename
[03:32] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: You can run Ubuntu within VirtualBox (or any other VM software) under OSX.
[03:32] <amosk> PeterFabinskiMbl: kvm ?
[03:33] <indio> ActionParsnip: Thank you.
[03:33] <ForestBear> jordan_u: it worked! thank you so much! updating my system won't screw it up right?
[03:34] <PeterFabinskiMbl> Jordan_U, i got virtualbox, do i download linux from somewhere?
[03:35] <Jordan_U> ForestBear: I don't expect that it will, but it's hard to know since I don't know what caused the initrd to be created improperly or corrupted in the first place.
[03:35] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: So it was initrd after all...
[03:35] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: Yes, http://ubuntu.com/download .
[03:36] <anil> CAN I UPGRADE UBUNTU 9.04 TO 10.10 WITHOUT CLEAN INSTALL ?
[03:36] <greezmunkey> Jordan_U: You rock dude...
[03:36] <Jordan_U> !caps | anil
[03:36] <Jordan_U> !eol | anil
[03:36] <ForestBear> jordan_u: but if things go wrong I can just use this working version of menu.lst (backed up) to fix things i think
[03:36] <anil> sorry !!!
[03:36] <PeterFabinskiMbl> Jordan_U, what do i do with the file when i get it?
[03:36] <Jordan_U> ForestBear: Yes. I would recommend always keeping at least one old kernel entry in your menu.lst at all times.
[03:37] <XtJacob> anil: you should be able to update in the update manager
[03:37] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: Use it as the source for the virtual CDROM drive in VirtualBox.
[03:37] <PeterFabinskiMbl> how?
[03:38] <ForestBear> Jordan_U: thanks again. Well I'm off, see ya!
[03:38] <anil> update manager is showing 9.04 to 9.10 upgrade
[03:39] <r00t4rd3d> will probably take a couple updates
[03:40] <PeterFabinskiMbl> ¥€$¥€$
[03:40] <dejavou42> I upgraded to 10.04 from 8.04, and it broke a lot of stuff. So, I backed up my home folder, and did a fresh install with 9.10. Problem is, my wifi and ethernet are still broken. The eth0 will not connect when set to dhcp mode, but when I set it to static, It says connected, but idle.
[03:40] <Jordan_U> PeterFabinskiMbl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMuO6jDqdPU looks like a good video guide, though I've only watched about the first minute.
[03:40] <dejavou42> any thoughts?

[03:43] <r00t4rd3d> like sound properties in windows
[03:44] <r00t4rd3d> or volume control

[03:47] <PeterFabinskiMbl> feanor2, i shared the folder w/ virtualbox but i cant find it in ubuntu

[03:49] <PeterFabinskiMbl> what would mount point be? where i want the folder to show up?
[03:49] <EnigmaticCoder> rmccue: Out of curiousity, are there Windows machines in your network?

[03:57] <PeterFabinskiMbl> feanor2, thx
[03:57] <sam-_-> man, why not install it from the repos?
[03:57] <rmccue> So, why would samba not have an init.d entry?
[03:57] <SC-M> sam-_-: thanks.
[03:57] <rmccue> (There's a smbd, but that gives me "failed to connect to socket")
[03:57] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: paste the output of "ifconfig" to http://paste.ubuntu.com please
[03:57] <sam-_-> rmccue it's in /etc/init now
[03:57] <dejavou42> one second
[03:58] <man> im new to ubuntu i dont understnd how to install from repos??????
[03:58] <guiness> i know the answer is because linux is free, but why does flash totally suck on linux and not windows
[03:58] <sam-_-> man, sudo apt-get install <program name>
[03:58] <guiness> go to thge software center
[03:58] <feanor2> guiness, because in linux progress means life and results mean death
[03:58] <itaylor57> guiness: flash sucks everywhere just in different ways
[03:58] <man> no no i hav downloaded dat
[03:59] <SC-M> how to find some repo sources
[03:59] <guiness> feanor2 what do you mean
[03:59] <man> m asking how to install
[03:59] <SC-M> i'm stuck at archive.ubuntu.com
[03:59] <XtJacob> guiness: market share for windows is bigger, so adobe problably see's it as a better investment
[03:59] <dejavou42> http://paste.ubuntu.com/545467/
[03:59] <man> i mean i got dat setup downloaded in .bin format
[03:59] <dejavou42> GreezMunkey: ^
[03:59] <man> so how to run it
[04:00] <feanor2> guiness, noone cares abount flash, there;s so many new interesting things to work upon, so it's swept under carpet
[04:00] <XtJacob> he means performancelinux and security on windowd
[04:00] <rmccue> sam-_-: There's a smbd.conf in there, no samba executable though
[04:00] <sam-_-> man, change the permission
[04:00] <breadcrumb> man - make the file executable with chmod u+x filenamehere
[04:00] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: nothing out of the ordinary there... are you using this box now?
[04:00] <guiness> so what is the new thing for video on the web and why does hulu not support it??
[04:00] <ActionParsnip> feanor2: theres http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/12/flash-alternative-lightspark-0-4-5-released/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed:+d0od+(Omg!+Ubuntu!)&utm_content=Twitter
[04:01] <sam-_-> rmccue why would there be one?
[04:01] <itaylor57> html5
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> feanor2: lightspark
[04:01] <feanor2> ActionParsnip, does it work?
[04:01] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: yes, but using another box to connect to internet.
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> feanor2: no idea, give it a try. It's free
[04:01] <man> after makin executable in terminal wat do i do????
[04:01] <sam-_-> rmccue http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[04:01] <rmccue> sam-_-: The documentation notes that to restart samba, `sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart`
[04:02] <breadcrumb> man: type ./filenamehere
[04:02] <XtJacob> they don't support it because it's new and almost everyone has flash
[04:02] <meekwarrior> man ./file
[04:02] <breadcrumb> man: that is assuming you're already in the directory that the file is in
[04:02] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: its an hp dv8000. wireless and ethernet are not working on it at the moment.
[04:02] <clu3> greezmunkey, thanks a lot, i'll probably try that thread for the sound problem. looks like quite a bit of work :)
[04:02] <feanor2> does anyone know how to write apt-get regualr expressions?
[04:02] <man> hhj
[04:02] <sam-_-> rmccue that has changed now sudo restart samba
[04:02] <rmccue> sam-_-: "unknown job samba"
[04:02] <guiness> i mean i tried the beta version of flash but it only got a little better
[04:02] <breadcrumb> rmccue try smbd
[04:03] <sam-_-> rmccue that has changed now sudo restart smbd
[04:03] <Fezzler> Any guitar players here?  What is the best, most compatible A/D capture device for Ubuntu?
[04:03] <rmccue> Thanks.
[04:03] <greezmunkey> clu3: I found some references to "special" driver sets from Toshiba for Ubuntu on their lappys a while back. You may be well off to do some serious searching to see what you can find.
[04:03] <obscurant1st> i cannot browse to any websites, but when i use  tor, i can access websitescn anyoin help?
[04:03] <guiness> there is a free flash thing the performance
[04:03] <ActionParsnip> Fezzler: there is no best app for anything
[04:03] <guiness> and it is awesome
[04:03] <guiness> light something
[04:03] <guiness> is the name
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> Fezzler: just take the output from your amp and whack it into the audio ni, you can then use something like audacious
[04:04] <Fezzler> Any guitar players here?  What A/D capture devices work with Ubuntu?
[04:04] <sam-_-> obscurant1st, you need to change the proxy settings
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> guiness: lightspark
[04:04] <guiness> yeah
[04:04] <guiness> but hulu doesnt support it
[04:04] <feanor2> how to see how many space an installed package takes???
[04:04] <guiness> at least the desktop app
[04:05] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: eth0 says its connected, but pings to router have a 100% loss.
[04:05] <Fezzler> ActionParsnip>> Is that how you record tracks with your guitar low latency?
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> Fezzler: i dont record, i just play but it's how I would. If you want low latency I'd install th rt kernel
[04:06] <shrmn> Hey there. Quick question to make sure I have this right. I have my partitions set up as /, home and swap. If I am installing a different distro, all I have to do is tell it the same thing but specify not to format "home" right?
[04:06] <shrmn> I am switching buntus.
[04:06] <guiness> i cant get my mic to function like it does on windows
[04:06] <guiness> help??
[04:06] <Fezzler> ActionParsnip>> Ah.  I have RT kernel.  I wonder is there are any guitar recorders here?
[04:06] <XtJacob> shrmn: yes
[04:06] <ActionParsnip> shrmn: yep, mark the home partition to be used as /home with the right filesystem type but NOT format it and the settings should be used in the new distro
[04:06] <PeterFabinski> what is the BackTrack path for the desktop
[04:07] <man> thnks frends
[04:07] <shrmn> Schweet!
[04:07] <man> got it
[04:07] <shrmn> Thanks everyone.
[04:07] <obscurant1st> sam-_-: thx man. silly me. it was firefox. Somebody changed the proxy settings!, thx anyway!
[04:07] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: hold a sec, neighbor is here...
[04:07] <r00t4rd3d> is anyone here offended by my nick besides Jordan_U ?
[04:08] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: k thanks
[04:08] <ActionParsnip> shrmn: seperate /home partition has many advantages
[04:08]  * skraito need a tester for https://yohanespatra.wordpress.com/2010/12/19/0x71-perl-logger-to-syslog-simple-key-logger/ sory if i repeat this i am using /ame
[04:08] <clu3> greezmunkey, yep, I've also spent almost 6 hours to search for the battery status display problem, no result. This new Toshiba model doesn't have much Ubuntu support, i doubt i'll find anything on my own
[04:08] <EnigmaticCoder> r00t4rd3d: I'm not offended by it, but I don't care much if people aren't politcally correct (usually)
[04:08] <man> how to unzip the zipped files in ubuntu?????
[04:08] <sam-_-> r00t4rd3d, it's not a nice nick that's for sure
[04:09] <sam-_-> man, right click -> decompress
[04:09] <shrmn> ActionParsnip, I did pick up that much from what I read before I did my initial install and am very thankful. :]
[04:09] <Data_1> r00t4rd3d: I agree with sam-_-. :')
[04:09] <Stepan_> I have a PC that has relatively low hardware, I think it was designed for Win 98 or 2000.  The primary purpose of this PC would be to go on the internet only.  Is there any distro that doesn't need much hardware and has a simple GUI?
[04:09] <greezmunkey> clu3: contact Toshiba support to see what they have to say.
[04:09] <share> is there a way to start Vino minimized?
[04:09] <XtJacob> stephan_: you could use xubuntu
[04:10] <icekk> HI, I created a tcp server, running it on ubuntu-server each time i run it, only 400 tcp socket clients can connect to it...
[04:10] <icekk> how do i increase this limit to unlimitede
[04:10] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: Are you using Network Manager? Or are you statically defining things in /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:10] <XtJacob> or fluxbuntu i think
[04:10]  * skraito anyone ?
[04:10] <feanor2> xubuntu is a bloat
[04:10] <icekk> modify the ulimits or somethin?
[04:10] <dejavou42> network manager mostly
[04:10] <EnigmaticCoder> Stepan_: There's xubuntu, but if that isn't low requirements enough, I've heard of damn small linux
[04:10] <sam-_-> feanor2, lubuntu then=
[04:11] <XtJacob> stepan: fluxbuntu is also good
[04:11] <monty_hall> is there a reason eacclerator isn't in synaptic?
[04:11] <dejavou42> greezemunkey: I've used terminal to force some changes, but I haven't written anything to the config files
[04:11] <bobhope> r
[04:11] <man> downloaded songs fron songs.pk can run safely in ubuntu?????
[04:12] <dejavou42> greezemunkey: If set to dhcp, eth0 will never connect, and dhcp is turned on in the router.
[04:12] <feanor2> man most likely
[04:12] <Stepan_> Thanks guys, will definatelly check these distros out
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> man: sure, why not
[04:12] <ActionParsnip> man: define safely..?
[04:13] <sam-_-> as long as the songs aren't executables for linux :-)
[04:13] <feanor2> ActionParsnip, he means exploitation of vulneabilities via mp3 format
[04:13] <man> means directly by clicking
[04:13] <dejavou42> greezemunkey: /etc/network/interfaces only has "auto lo           auto lo inet loopback"
[04:13] <sam-_-> never heard of an mp3 exploit.
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> man: sure, how is clicking related to safety?
[04:14] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: no entry for eth0. should I try to define eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:14] <myth-learner> Hi - I'm an (myth/u)buntu newbie.  How can I change my firewall so I can run ssh on a different port?  (I know how to change ssh, just not change the (myth/u)buntu firewall.  Can anyone help?
[04:15] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: no entry where? network manager?
[04:15] <sam-_-> myth-learner, is there a firewall running?
[04:15] <sam-_-> myth-learner, ufw?
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config   you can change the port it runs on there
[04:15] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: There is no entry for eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces. network manager has two entries: one static, and one auto
[04:15] <myth-learner> @sam - ufw suggests that there are no iptables rules...
[04:16] <share> im having a problem shutting down the computer
[04:16] <myth-learner> @ActionParsnip - thanks - I've got that working, but can't change the firewall
[04:16] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: dhcp* not auto
[04:16] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: that's normal, if you are letting network mgr do it's thing. Is this issue new, or from install?
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: where is the firewall running?
[04:16] <man> no relation, i mean dat without using any other operation
[04:17] <myth-learner> @ActionParsnip - no idea.  I can connect on local host to multiple ssh ports, but from the other machines on my network I can only see port 22.
[04:17] <EnigmaticCoder> Does anyone know how to add a trackbar to the current line in irssi (I just inquired on #irssi but didn't get a response)
[04:17] <sam-_-> myth-leaner, sudo iptables -L to see if ufw is right
[04:17] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: if its on your LAN then unless you configured iptables it will be running on the new port
[04:17] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: from install / upgrade. I upgraded to 10.04 from 8.04. it broke a lot of stuff, so I backed up my home folder and installed 10.10 and then 9.10. currently I'm running 9.10 which is a fresh install
[04:18] <myth-learner> @sam - only 3 chains in iptables.  all the vanilla stuff.
[04:18] <G__81> If there is no proper nvidia driver for my video card then cant i run 11.04 once it gets released ?
[04:18] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: if you drop the @ in your text, it highlights the text in the client, adding the character stops the highlight happening#
[04:19] <myth-learner> ActionParsnip - sorry dude.
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> G__81: #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion
[04:19] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: I have a script somewhere let me look
[04:19] <sam-_-> myth-learner, then no firewall is running
[04:19] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: well it is, its just not configured
[04:19] <G__81> ok thanks ActionParsnip
[04:19] <myth-learner> sam - :-(  So why can't I get ssh to work on a non-standard port.  Any other suggestions?
[04:19] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, ok
[04:19] <PeterFabinski> hi
[04:20] <feanor2> @feanor2 test
[04:20] <sam-_-> myth-learner, did you restart sshd after editing the conf
[04:21] <sam-_-> myth-learner, btw. if you are doing this for a security reason. don't it's not worth it
[04:21] <myth-learner> sam - I *think* I did, but I need to check
[04:21] <myth-learner> sam - it's 'cos I want to run multiple external ssh ports on my modem/router.
[04:22] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: iptables runs from the first boot, its just got no rules of what to block and allow so it allows everything
[04:22] <myth-learner> I know that I can easily be port scanned so it won't matter much if I try to hide the port.
[04:22] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: you've been through the mill then...Remove the eth0 profiles in network manager, and set up a new one static, give it <IP_ADDRESS> mask <IP_ADDRESS>, gate <IP_ADDRESS>, and dns as your router ip address (gate) - see if that helps. NM on 9.x was a bit flaky...
[04:22] <sam-_-> myth-learner, y. but they all come from different ip adresses.
[04:23] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, yes i know but thx for expl.
[04:23] <EnigmaticCoder> itaylor57: I found one on the irssi website, but I'm not sure how to use it. I've never used scripts in irssi
[04:23] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: irssi-scripts has a trackbar.pl or google for it
[04:23] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: thats fine, you just need to setup the port forward on the router to be pushed to the right IPs on the internal.
[04:23] <myth-learner> sam - my modem is single ip external address, but want to have multiple incoming ports so I can ssh directly to different machines.
[04:24] <myth-learner> ActionParsnip - the router only does 1-1 port mapping, i.e. only maps port 12345 (external) to 12345 internally.
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: 04:19 < sam-_-> myth-learner, then no firewall is running
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: clearly not...
[04:24] <sam-_-> myth-learner, some routers allow the change the port via nat
[04:24] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: that would be off topic checkout the irrsi home page and they will tell you how to add it
[04:24] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: once you've set up the new profile, disable and then enable to be sure your setting take effect.
[04:24] <bi> hi
[04:24] <EnigmaticCoder> itaylor57: ty
[04:24] <myth-learner> sam - cheap netgear ones don't.  :-(
[04:24] <partyboy25> i installed icedTea plug in    and trying to uninstall old java off the ubuntu   how do i do that
[04:26] <myth-learner> ActionParsnip - I think you must be right.  I can't see anything that means a firewall was running (I'm more from the fedora GUI world) and then testing iptables reinforced my view and now you guys are saying the same thing.  Perhaps I just forgot to restart sshd  (*hangs head in shame*)
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: just change the port in sshd_config and then set the port forward on the WAN side to push through to the same port number as you are limited by your router
[04:26] <sam-_-> myth-learner, happens all the time to me :-)
[04:26] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: http://scripts.irssi.org/
[04:27] <partyboy25> i installed iced tea plug in      so how do i delete the old version of java of the ubuntu  in shell terminal?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> myth-learner: its all learning dude, no worries
[04:27] <EnigmaticCoder> itaylor57: Thanks again
[04:27] <sam-_-> partyboy25, depends on what you had installed
[04:27] <myth-learner> sam-_- / ActionParsnip - thanks for the help.  I'll go and try the restart and see what happens.
[04:28] <itaylor57> EnigmaticCoder: i am just an old cli kinda guy
[04:28] <partyboy25> it in system prefances
[04:28] <partyboy25> java 6 control panel
[04:28] <partyboy25> java 6 plug in control panel
[04:29] <sam-_-> partyboy25, sudo apt-get --purge autoremove sun-java*
[04:29] <sam-_-> partyboy25, try this
[04:29] <rugwiro> hello everyone!!i want to install SQL server in ubuntu how do i do it?is it the same ways as installing it in windows??
[04:29] <partyboy25> thanks  i ll try
[04:29] <sam-_-> partyboy25, or is it called openjdk?
[04:29] <gamerx> i have a Asus Rampage 2 Extreme motherboard, just downloaded the linux drivers for audio, and have no idea what to do, is someone able to assist me?
[04:30] <chills518> having trouble connecting to windows 7 pc.  Was able to see it before but must have changed something while getting my wireless working.  Now I can't even see the windows 7 pc.. any ideas?
[04:30] <ActionParsnip> chills518: can you ping it's IP?
[04:30] <chills518> yes.  I can ping IP but not pc name.
[04:30] <partyboy25> brb
[04:31] <myth-learner> ActionParsnip / sam - you guys are the best!  Thanks for the help.  It works.  "/etc/init.d/ssh restart"  Doh!    :-)
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> chills518: sounds like your DNS doesn't include your router, you can add a resolution in /etc/hosts if you like
[04:31] <itaylor57> partyboy25 has a mix of open and sun methinks
[04:32] <rugwiro> hello everyone!!i want to install SQL server in ubuntu how do i do it?is it the same ways as installing it in windows??
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  theres a known bug with samba and accessing windows 7 - if the (i am trying to rember) 'windows live login helper'  tool is installed on windows 7.
[04:32] <itaylor57> iced tea is open
[04:32] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  i may have tha namne wrong. I learned about it on the forums a few weeks back
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> !lamp | rugwiro
[04:32] <holoseen> I installed 10.10 netbook remix to a 2GB flash drive using pendrivelinux, should it boot with the splash asking to try or install? Seems like it should boot to logon screen...
[04:32] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: done. the same thing happened. After the connection is established, I pinged the router with complete loss. typing route in terminal tells me that the gateway is being set to <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:33] <PeterFabinski> hi
[04:33] <rugwiro> ok thank a lot!!
[04:33] <chills518> actionparsnip:  I will try adding it to my hosts file...
[04:33] <XtJacob> holoseen: try gives you the desktop
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/
[04:33] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: bizarre, what error do you get when you try to change to route again?
[04:33] <holoseen> XtJacob, yes and it takes a long time to get there once selected
[04:33] <jackoriper> hi
[04:33] <jackoriper> cable internet ( ethernet plug ) is directly connected to laptap for internet, how to setup or do settings , so that internet to work on ubuntu 10 ? ( local  internet  provider is fan to XP only ), but im ubuntu in our region.
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> chills518: you can access the system via IP if you like. You will bypass any DNS if you do
[04:33] <yop129> does anyone know where a network share is mounted when you access it?
[04:33] <chills518> dr_willis: I haven't seen any info on that bug yet.  I will look into that.  I have been all over the forums and such trying to resolve this and hadn't seen that possible issue yet..
[04:34] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: sudo ip route add default via <IP_ADDRESS>?
[04:34] <taraduffy> hi, anyone is Oz? I am trying to connect to a Telstra 3G and having problems?
[04:34] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: what does the system give you back when you run that?
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  i found the info on the ubuntu forums i think. All i did to fix my lan issues was removed that  proram from the windows 7 box. I cant double check to see its name. since i removed it. - looking for the url now.
[04:35] <sam-_-> taraduffy, what problems?
[04:35] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  it was somthing similer to 'windows games live login helper'
[04:35] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: RTNETLINK answers: File Exists
[04:35] <chills518> actionparsnip:  I had it earlier today going to Places > network> and saw the pc there... and it just kept asking for password over and over even though I was using correct passowrd
[04:35] <holoseen> What is the way to install netbook to flash so it boots into the system instead of the demo mode?
[04:35] <gamerx> anyone can help me with installing audio drivers?
[04:35] <taraduffy> sam-_-: thanks: just wont connect; recognizes it, but fails to connect.
[04:36] <partyboy25> still working on it sam   brb   trying to figure this out
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  some info here also. (and otehr work arounds it seems) --> http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/75-63-windows-samba-issue
[04:36] <aroman> dsfs
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> !persistent
[04:36] <yop129> chills518: try adding everyone to the share on the windows computer, that should fix it
[04:36] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  on the plus side. from my research - this issue is supposed to get fixed in the next samba release. So hopefully 11.04 wont have the issue
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> holoseen: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[04:36] <itaylor57> partyboy25: what is your problem?
[04:37] <XtJacob> holoseen: on the livecd there is no logon screen, if you want it without demo, install it to the flash drive like you would if you were installing it to  a hardribe, but make sure you set grub to the right drive
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[04:37] <yop129> anyone know where a network share is mounted when you access it?
[04:37] <sam-_-> taraduffy, does it say anything at all?
[04:37] <chills518> dr_willis:  thanks for the info and link.  I will keep plugging away at it.
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> yop129: usually in a folder in ~/.gvfs
[04:37] <sam-_-> taraduffy, like authentication failure or sth.?
[04:38] <sam-_-> gamerx, where did you download your drivers from?
[04:38] <gamerx> asus.com
[04:38] <chills518> yop129:  thanks.   I think I have it set to everyone already.  I had no password on the windows system but read it had to have one so I setup the password and it is still not letting me in.. hahah
[04:38] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  i cant seem to track down the forum where i saw the other info at.
[04:38] <taraduffy> sam-_-: no. the network Manager icon spins around and then just stops in a failure graphic: but no error message.
[04:38] <holoseen> XtJacob, I understand, but won't grub attempt to install to the internal hd with no way around that?
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: most cards work fine with alsa
[04:38] <gigaclon> is there a way to update from a older version to 10.10 via CD without wiping the harddrive?
[04:38] <PeterFabinskiMbl> hi
[04:38] <gamerx> i want the optical out to work
[04:38] <PeterFabinski> hi
[04:38] <gigaclon> older version is like 8.10
[04:38] <PeterFabinskiMbl> hi
[04:38] <gamerx> its not showing up in the list of outputs
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> gigaclon: you can use the alternate ISO to upgrade with. you can only update to the next release, or LTS to LTS
[04:39] <XtJacob> holoseen: at the end of the ubuntu install there is an option on where to install grub
[04:39] <lekiii> Hi, must I have to put my swap in primary or logic part ?
[04:39] <yop129> chills518: hmm, yeah i had trouble accessing it before and adding everyone to the share fixed it so thought maybe that might help
[04:39] <PeterFabinski> lekiii hi
[04:40] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, i think there is a card from creative in there.
[04:40] <sam-_-> ActionParsnip, x-fi
[04:40] <yop129> ActionParsnip: so it's mounted in an invisible folder? not very effecient when u need to access it from a program :/
[04:40] <chills518> yop129:  I will double check that I do have it set to everyone just to make sure. :)  thanks for the info
[04:40] <PeterFabinski> ActionParsnip :):):):):)
[04:40] <holoseen> XtJacob, good, so to confirm, nothing gets written to the internal hd?
[04:41] <Dr_Willis> gigaclon:   thats supposed to be doable. but I find that its often best to just do a clean install.
[04:41] <noonian> yop129, I don't think the efficiency is any different. The only difference is hidden files have a . in front of them.
[04:41] <FishFace> chills518: Also read this if all else fails. Its about NAS, but Win7 is the problem - http://windows7forums.com/windows-7-networking/1669-cannot-access-nas-4.html - Look for a post from micky0104
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> sam-_-: oh no, creative :(
[04:42] <XtJacob> holoseen: yes just make sure you set everything to the flashdrive, if you really want to make sure unplug the drive when you install it. :p
[04:42] <yop129> chills518: np
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  you may want to ask in #samba also.
[04:42] <taraduffy> sam-_-: it just tries and then stops and says 'disconnected'.
[04:42] <feanor2> can someone recomment spellchecker better than aspell sh*t?
[04:42] <Zarte> evening mates
[04:42] <yop129> noonian: so i need to show hidden folders in nautilius before i can access it within a program, correct?
[04:43] <gamerx> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/545477/
[04:43] <holoseen> XtJacob, I was trying to avoid pulling the laptop internal hd! But that is probably the surest/safest route.
[04:43] <feanor2> yop129, no, just type path manually
[04:43] <yop129> feanor2: ok let me try it
[04:43] <sam-_-> taraduffy, take a look at /var/log/daemon.log networkmanager writes in there
[04:43] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  heres some info on the 'problelm' i was having --> 'windows live sign on assisstant' --> http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpronetworking/thread/9c6f1d74-f7f0-4503-94fa-0d79a5597527
[04:43] <NeoCicak> hi... i'm using ubuntu 10.10 64 bit..... and somehow i always lost my desktop theme on boot up
[04:43] <XtJacob> holoseen: oh you're on a laptop :p, you might be able to disable the drive in the BIOS
[04:44] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: can you rerun the script but upload it, you will get a red hyperlink. What is the link?
[04:44] <taraduffy> sam-_-: OK looking .. . .
[04:44] <sam-_-> taraduffy, you may paste it to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ then i will take a look
[04:44] <r00t4rd3d> NeoCicak, did you install it or just running a live/usb version ?
[04:44] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  amuseing quote from the info --->  uninstalling "windows live sign in assistant", but at least weekly, this "assistant" reinstalls itself, and the problem returns.
[04:45] <gamerx> ActionParsnip, you mean upload the contants of alsa-info.sh?
[04:45] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  i started having the issue when some game installed that Sign In assistant.
[04:45] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: hmm, I did some looking around. Do you know how to statically define an ip address in /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:45] <taraduffy> sam-_-: shall I paste it to you somewhere: please point me to the paste bin?
[04:45] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: yup, just tried that
[04:45] <holoseen> XtJacob, I think I will go the hardware disconnect way.
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: no, when the script runs and you are asked if you want to upload, select yes and you'll get a hyperlink
[04:45] <yop129> feanor2: well that worked wonderfully actually, just off that they make it hidden
[04:46] <chills518> fishface:  thanks for the link I will check it out...
[04:46] <XtJacob> holoseen: ok, good luck!
[04:46] <yop129> odd*
[04:46] <taraduffy> sam-_-: does this help: taraduffy-laptop NetworkManager[954]: <info> disconnect failed: (32) The serial port is not open.
[04:46] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: iface eth0 inet static        address <IP_ADDRESS>         netmask <IP_ADDRESS>      gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:46] <noonian> yop129, oh sorry, I didn't realize you were having problems with a programs file browser. Thought you were being more technical.
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  another possible fix at --> http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itprosecurity/thread/e30589d3-ab5a-4233-a199-7d5caf395875
[04:46] <chills518> dr_willis: I will go and check now on that.  I kind of remember enabling that on my windows pc... going to go and check on that right now.. thanks..
[04:46] <gamerx> ActionParsnip, http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=56070306d42a0c27c737275377c1583943fc81fe
[04:46] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: then I did " sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[04:47] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: I was going to say to try doing that, and then stop the network manager app. Once network-manager os off, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart - and see if you can ping. If so, then get into resolv.conf and setup a dns server so you can use the web.
[04:47] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: to stop network manager app, just remove it from panel?
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  yea. theres some sort of extra security that win7 can use. that breaks some things, revielws some bugs in samba.
[04:48] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: no, kill it.
[04:48] <NeoCicak> r00t4rd3d: i installed it
[04:48] <sam-_-> taraduffy, which version of ubuntu are you running?
[04:49] <guiness> i cant get 10.10 to run on my book
[04:49] <yop129> noonian: nope, just trying to access a video file through vlc, that did it, i looked everywhere mount, media, everywhere, but yeah it ended up being hidden folder, that;s why i said it was kind of odd they made it like that, apparently u can't access the mount under places in vlc's open dialog
[04:49] <taraduffy> sam-_-: 10.10
[04:50] <noonian> vlc just needs a button to show hidden files
[04:50] <noonian> usually you dont want to because there are a ton of them and they clutter up the browser
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: try: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> gamerx: i'm not too good with sound stuffs, also in a terminal run: alsamixer  and be sure all levels are cranked and unmuted
[04:51] <r00t4rd3d> NeoCicak, how are you changing themes ?
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> noonian: press CTRL+H when opening the file, it will show hidden files
[04:52] <sam-_-> taraduffy, might be a bug. did you update all the way?
[04:52] <taraduffy> sam-_-: yes, up to date.
[04:52] <Dr_Willis> noonian:  vlc here has a 'show hidden files'  in its right-click menus in the file browser window
[04:53] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: killed nm-applet, then restarted networking, but eth0 did not come up, so I did ifconfig eth0 up
[04:53] <noonian> yop129, well there you go :) thanks ActionParsnip and Dr_Willis
[04:53] <yop129> noonian: yep, i've tried it before, there's a lot, still haven't really gotten used to the linux file structure, windows was much more simpler, easier to find what was where in terms of programs and the files and clutter they leave behind
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> could be im using some differnt bersion of vlc. I recall the older versions not being quite as integgerated with gnome in how stuff worked
[04:53] <yop129> Dr_Willis: i'll check it, thanks :)
[04:53] <sam-_-> taraduffy, you can try to include maverick-update if you didn't already do that
[04:53] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: it didn't come up with an ip address at all
[04:53] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  are you refering to stuff in .gvfs?
[04:54] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: that's ok, you defined it in the interfaces file?
[04:54] <guiness> yeah specific files are tough to locate.  getting to them is even tougher
[04:54] <noonian> yop129, if you say so hehe. That is one of the reasons I prefer Linux.
[04:54] <taraduffy> sam-_-: do you mean just run Update Manager?
[04:54] <guiness> but i still love linux
[04:54] <yop129> Dr_Willis: nah just general
[04:54] <yop129> noonian: why is that
[04:54] <guiness> with the exception of the flash issue
[04:54] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: sorry, I did an ifconfig, and no ip address
[04:55] <sam-_-> taraduffy, sudo software-properties-gtk
[04:55] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: you should have only needed sudo ifup eth0
[04:55] <gamerx> ActionParsnip, just going to restart brb
[04:55] <noonian> yop129, I know where programs tend to leave files around and where everything should be
[04:55] <yop129> noonian: harder to find what u need, with windows everything was either in program files or in ur user directory's locallapp folder
[04:55] <ActionParsnip> yop129: youo may find you find windows "simpler" due to experience
[04:55] <guiness> true
[04:56] <guiness> i dont ever really need to get at the individual files tho
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> yop129: I find the %windir% in windows to be hugely disorganised personally
[04:56] <taraduffy> sam_-_:  sudo software-properties-gtk gets me: WARNING: can not get name for '<gtk.TextBuffer object at 0x93f25cc (GtkTextBuffer at 0x90a8160)>'
[04:56] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: but, if you defined the interface in /etc/network/interfaces, and then restarted networking, it should have come up on its own.
[04:56] <yop129> ActionParsnip: probably, it's just in the "root" directory windows has less folders and it "seems" simpler structure
[04:56] <partyboy25> ok i am back how do i delete this one sam
[04:56] <sam-_-> taraduffy, gksu software-properties-gtk
[04:56] <partyboy25> hold on
[04:56] <noonian> yop129, I also like having all the preferences in hidden files in the home directory because I can install a completely new system and still keep my preferences
[04:56] <ActionParsnip> yop129: yes but more data in single folders rather than subfolders is less organised surely...
[04:57] <yop129> someone have some type of user guide or something where i can learn how the folder structure of linux is organized?
[04:57] <partyboy25> open jdk java 6 policy tool
[04:57] <ActionParsnip> yop129: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/linuxdir.html
[04:57] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: gotcha, did sudo ifup eth0. it went to the correct IP address, but still 100% loss on pings to router, and the route command still says that gateway is <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:58] <noonian> yop129, http://www.comptechdoc.org/os/linux/usersguide/linux_ugfilestruct.html
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  http://www.pathname.com/fhs/    also
[04:58] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: nm on the route command, just tested on the working box, and the first number is also <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:59] <partyboy25> sam?
[04:59] <Dr_Willis> yop129:  and -> (worth reading) -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard
[04:59] <yop129> ActionParsnip, noonian, Dr_Willis these i'll read up on, maybe then the structure won't be as confusing, thanks for all the help
[05:00] <sam-_-> partyboy25, you said you installed icedtea?
[05:00] <sam-_-> partyboy25, then leave it installed
[05:01] <yop129> everything's looking to be getting better with 10.10, installed it like 2 weeks ago and my headphone ports which didn't work before work now, trouchscreen works now, amazing improvements
[05:01] <partyboy25> yeah i am leaving that one
[05:01] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: Sounds like the subnet, not the gateway to me...
[05:01] <partyboy25> but how do i uninstall open jdk java 6 policy tool
[05:02] <chills518> dr_willis:  that was it.  I just uninstalled all the Windows Live stuff on my windows pc and I am in.. thank you!  I have been trying to get this working now for 4 days and not once did I see any website mention the windows live stuff... thanks again!
[05:02] <sam-_-> partyboy25, icedtea depends on openjdk
[05:02] <itaylor57> sam-_-: its his java plugin tohis browser no?
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> chills518:  yea. Its aparently actually a bug in samba. from what ive reeasearched.. but MS likes installing things that most people dont need also. :) i was having the issue with windows to windows machines as well
[05:03] <yop129> gn everyone gonna go watch a movie :)
[05:03] <sam-_-> itaylor57, if he install icedtea plugin then yes
[05:04] <sam-_-> taraduffy, are you trying the update?
[05:05] <itaylor57> sam-_-: the java sun 6 plugin for mozilla could conflict with ice tea?
[05:05] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: you're not going to believe this, but I changed the subnet to <IP_ADDRESS>, and restarted networking, and ifup eth0, and now its working....
[05:06] <chills518> on to my next and last issue... anyone know if they have a fix or workaround for getting DVDFab registration to work?
[05:06] <itaylor57> sam-_-: i came too late to the problem
[05:06] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: I would guess that the dhcp server in your router is misconfigured then.
[05:07] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: fix that problem, it will be easier than making custom adjustments on all of your machines.
[05:08] <Agu10> what's about directx getting native into ubuntu?
[05:08] <Agu10> is that just ignorants? is it wine getting built-in?
[05:09] <dejavou42> greezmunkey:
[05:09] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  wine built in? never heard of that.   Wine does have some DX support now. the winetricks tweak script enalbrs some other DX features.
[05:09] <Agu10> ok but
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: built into what?
[05:10] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: yes
[05:10] <Agu10> built-in into ubuntu...
[05:10] <Agu10> well then why would anyone use windows instead of wine on ubuntu?
[05:10] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: I believe its actually the ethernet port going bad on the laptop. When I move it a certain way, it works. otherwise it doesn't....
[05:10] <^mNotIntelligent> hi all !
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  wine is not perfect. and ti cant do 100% f all windows apps..
[05:10] <Agu10> right
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | Agu10
[05:11] <Agu10> but I guess that's not the problem. I think what keeps people away from ubuntu is it's so hard to set up
[05:11] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: oh well, I love a good laptop motherboard swapout... crap. thanks for the help.
[05:11] <Agu10> and configure everything by using the command line...
[05:11] <Agu10> and old commands
[05:12] <greezmunkey> dejavou42: you could just be a few drops of solder away from fixing it too.
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: wine is optional dude
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> !info wine
[05:12] <PeterFabinski> how do i add a channel
[05:12] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, yea I know... so what?
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  thats not really the case much these days. do you have an actual support wuestion? or are just chatting?
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: you were saying it's built into ubuntu earlier...
[05:13] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, I heard directx was built-in
[05:13] <Agu10> so I thought they might be talking about wine actually
[05:13] <dejavou42> greezmunkey: could be, either way, they didn't make this model hp easy to take apart.
[05:13] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, actually, just chatting about ubuntu
[05:13] <nirazio> How can I change default xdg user directories?
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: ahh i see. Wine is a translation layer for directx so you dont need to install it. Directx is already handled
[05:14] <Agu10> right. can I run wpf apps on wine?
[05:14]  * skraito say hi all
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: whats 'wpf' stand for?
[05:14] <Agu10> am I wrong if I say running apps on wine is slower than running them on windows?
[05:14] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, sure
[05:14] <chris|linux> can some one help with a rather difficult install
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: doom3 performs better in windows I read in some benchmarks
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  in some cases ive seen wine run windows apps better.
[05:15] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, cool
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: what is a "wpu app"
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  it all depends on the app and what its doing.  I rarely need wine to run windows apps these days.
[05:15] <mschulze> Chris: possibly, what's the issue?
[05:15] <Agu10> windows presentation foundation (something like silverlight for desktop)
[05:15] <Agu10> windowing system
[05:15] <PeterFabinski> how do i make a channel
[05:15] <chris|linux> I am trying to get ubuntu setup on a kinda frankien machine
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: there is silverlight for linux
[05:16] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, how do you run them then??
[05:16] <chris|linux> I need to install on an external drive and boot to it
[05:16] <dw-> Dr_Willis: when I run windows apps I do need wine
[05:16] <chris|linux> but I keep getting grub rescue prompts
[05:16] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, yeah but wpf is not silverlight, its like winforms
[05:16] <Agu10> a newer winforms
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: i'm not familiar with winforms
[05:16] <chris|linux> wps is xml winforms
[05:16] <Agu10> no
[05:16] <ActionParsnip> chris|linux: boot to livecd and reinstall grub to the usb device
[05:17] <Agu10> wpf is how any new gui should be like
[05:17] <Agu10> but it's too slow
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: can you give a link / screenshetc please
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  i dont need the windows  apps. because i find linux apps that do the same job for the most part.
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> screenshot*
[05:17] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, lol, I see
[05:17] <feanor2> is there a gui tool for directories syncronization?
[05:18] <mschulze> Chris, yeah what ActionParsnip said
[05:18] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, http://web20p-rs-g04.wikispaces.com/file/view/WPF-CAB.png/64269430/WPF-CAB.png
[05:18] <noonian> Agu10, only windows apps I need are games
[05:18] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, http://community.devexpress.com/blogs/thinking/DXGrid%20for%20WPF.png
[05:18] <Agu10> noonian, lol
[05:18] <Agu10> well, I need lots of windows apps :S
[05:18] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: could probably do that in python without too much issue
[05:18] <stenoknight> I'm having a heck of a time getting sound with gtk-recordmydesktop. I've installed pulseaudio and set recordmydesktop's device to pulse, but I can't figure out how to get sound output from espeak (running in the terminal).
[05:18] <Agu10> i'm now staying with windows :3
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: linux isn't always the answer :D
[05:19] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, run those programs with python?
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: no, make something similar
[05:19] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  winforms reminds me of the old Hypercard on mac, and CanDo! on Amiga, (and other similer tools) from years past. :)
[05:19] <Agu10> oh right. python is only the programming language
[05:19] <Agu10> wpf is the windowing stuff
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: far from it, the kernel has a lot of C in it
[05:20] <stenoknight> Any ideas? I'm happy getting just the complete wave mix on my computer as default audio, though being able to not record sound from my internal mic (which would just pick up typing noises) would be a bonus.
[05:20] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, what are you talking about?
[05:20] <noonian> Agu10, wine will run most windows programs but no one will help you troubleshoot them except the wine people
[05:20] <Agu10> noonian, ok
[05:21] <mschulze> Steno, sorry I can't help you out there
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> Agu10: i suggest you consult the appdb to see if your app will run.
[05:21] <monty_hall> if I want something to run periodically in ubuntu, is there some gui app that manages tasks or do I just edit the crontab file.
[05:21] <PeterFabinskiMbl> what is wine
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> monty_hall: you can use gnome-schedule
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> !wine | PeterFabinskiMbl
[05:21] <Agu10> ActionParsnip, i want to run my own apps xD
[05:22] <sam-_-> Agu10, http://www.mono-project.com/WPF
[05:22] <feanor2> lol: wine people have 1 answer: buy cedega
