[07:05] <dr0pb3ar> ZykoticK9, ok... hang on a sec
[07:05] <rileyp> strangr, I have it on a usb stick and it works
[07:06] <milamber> strangr: torrent not an option?
[07:06] <rileyp> even with wireless :D
[07:06] <strangr> milamber: dunno if ill get seeds
[07:06] <rileyp> puppy is another alternative
[07:06] <rileyp> strangr,  perhaps
[07:06] <dr0pb3ar> ZykoticK9, sorry. dropped out for a sec there. what do you want me to do?
[07:06] <milamber> strangr: i am sure you will. it's pretty common. and it shouldn't be too bad as it's only 50mb
[07:07] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar, try the "sudo umount /media/My\ Passport"
[07:07] <strangr> milamber, givin that a try too :)
[07:08] <dr0pb3ar> ZykoticK9, has told me it's busy (like you said)
[07:08] <rileyp> drop bear why not just make a dir add the mount to fstab and reboot
[07:08] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar, did you close gparted and anything else that would be using it?
[07:08] <dr0pb3ar> ZykoticK9, yep... all done
[07:08] <C_Smith> so, can anyone help me with these error 1 and error 2s?
[07:08] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar, in your terminal - type "cd" "ENTER" to switch to your home directory as well
[07:08] <dr0pb3ar> rileyp, thanks but ZykoticK9 is helping me out with it at the moment
[07:09] <dr0pb3ar> done
[07:09] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar, try the umount again
[07:09] <C_Smith> I have a pastebin of the terminal messages here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632853/
[07:09] <dr0pb3ar> ZykoticK9, ok
[07:09] <PythonSnake> I need gma hd drivers for linux anyone know how to get them please?
[07:09] <C_Smith> PythonSnake, xorg edgers PPA?
[07:09] <dr0pb3ar> ZykoticK9, sudo umount /media/My\ Passport returned that it was busy
[07:09] <PythonSnake> ?
[07:10] <PythonSnake> xorg edgers PPA ?
[07:10] <C_Smith> you're talking about an Intel GMA GPU, right?
[07:10] <PythonSnake> yeah
[07:10] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar, easiest thing would be to log out/back in again - but something is still using the drive
[07:11] <pksadiq> .whois
[07:11] <pksadiq> sorry
[07:11] <C_Smith> Pythonsnakke, let me get the PPA page for ya, sec
[07:11] <strangr> milamber: got some peers on dsl-4.4.10 thanks i almost forgot abt torrent
[07:11] <dr0pb3ar> ZykoticK9, should I reboot? I can't think of anything that would be using it
[07:12] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar, reboot would work
[07:12] <C_Smith> Pythonsnake, here is the repo for a lot of things related to xorg (the Graphics server): https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
[07:12] <milamber> strangr: beauty of the interwebs :)
[07:12] <C_Smith> it also includes some GMA drivers.
[07:12] <strangr> milamber :)
[07:13] <dr0pb3ar> ZykoticK9, I just tried to transfer a small file to my passport and it worked okay... it's just unmounting that isn't working... I will reboot now... wait out
[07:13] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar, k
[07:13] <PythonSnake> C_Smith: thanks
[07:13] <PythonSnake> Are drivers packages ?
[07:14] <Guest79988> is anyone there?
[07:14] <C_Smith> PythonSnake, there a very recent Intel driver in there, let me get the name of it.
[07:15] <wols> PythonSnake: ubuntu already comes with GMA HD drivers for X
[07:15] <Guest79988> For some reason, I can't change directories using the cd command...any thoughts?
[07:15] <wols> Guest79988: pastebin the command you try and its full output
[07:16] <Guest79988> ok..one moment
[07:16] <dr0pb3ar_> ZykoticK9, I have rebooted and unmounted successfully
[07:16] <ZykoticK9> Guest79988, cApItAlS are important and spaces/ are/ a/ pain.
[07:16] <PythonSnake> wols: ok thx
[07:17] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar, nice ;)
[07:17] <Guest79988> When I issue the following:cd /Documents
[07:17] <Guest79988> bash: cd: /Documents: No such file or directory
[07:17] <ZykoticK9> Guest79988, "cd ~/Documents"
[07:17] <soreau> Guest79988: Try cd ~/Downloads
[07:17] <Guest79988> ok
[07:18] <soreau> Guest79988: The tilde (~) means your home directory
[07:18] <C_Smith> PythonSnake, I couldn't find it, but I know it's in there because I'm using it (I have an Intel GMA 4500 MHD myself) so if you add the ppa to your sources, you'll get it.
[07:18] <Guest79988> so, you HAVE to use the tilda to change directories???
[07:18] <dr0pb3ar_> ZykoticK9, I am trying to reformat these drives to use as random storage drives for video's music and that sort of stuff... what is the best file system to use for this purpose?
[07:18] <PythonSnake> C_Smith: What is PPA ?
[07:18] <ZykoticK9> Guest83801, if you where in you home directory "cd Documents" would work.  the / at the beginning means "root" and that folder /Documents doesn't exist (by default)
[07:19] <Guest79988> i am in my home
[07:19] <PythonSnake> C_Smith: And it's GMA HD not GMA 4500 MHD
[07:19] <wols> Guest79988: no you don't. but you can't use just put "/" at the beginning since that means "go from / directory"
[07:19] <Guest79988> that's the problem
[07:19] <soreau> Guest79988: No, it's just a shortcut instead of typing $HOME/Documents or /home/$USER/Documents
[07:19] <wols> Guest79988: if you are in your home directory, simply "cd Documents" works
[07:19] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar_, i'd say ext4 - others may disagree ;)
[07:19] <soreau> Guest79988: If you are in home, then you only need to do cd Documents
[07:19] <C_Smith> PythonSnake, PPA is a form of a repository, and I was just saying my GPU.
[07:19] <wols> dr0pb3ar_: depends if only ubuntu will access it or other OSes too
[07:19] <soreau> Guest79988: The / means your root directory
[07:19] <dr0pb3ar_> ZykoticK9, prob just ubuntu
[07:20] <Guest79988> so, if i am in home dir, ?<dir> should work, right?  it's not
[07:20] <Guest79988> i meant ?dir
[07:20] <soreau> PythonSnake: PPA = Personal Package Archive
[07:20] <wols> Guest79988: it does work. "cd dir"
[07:20] <Guest79988> i mean?
[07:20] <jrib> Guest79988: what do you mean by "work"?  What are you trynig to do?
[07:20] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar_, OH ya if you want to use the drive with MS or Apple - use FAT or NTFS
[07:20] <Guest79988> ok
[07:20] <wols> jrib: trying to use cd /dir   to change directories inside his ~
[07:20] <PythonSnake> C_SMith: How to add PPA to my sources ?
[07:20] <milamber> Guest79988: the command 'ls' will give you a list of files and directories. you can cd into any directory beneath you or go up one directory by using cd ..
[07:20] <wols> Guest79988: your mistake was the "/" you put in front
[07:21] <C_Smith> to anyone who can help me, I need help with some error 1 and error 2 coming from gitcompile, I have the contents of what goes on in the terminal here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632853/
[07:21] <dr0pb3ar_> ZykoticK9, if its just for ubuntu is ext4 good to go? what's xfs used for?
[07:21] <CountDeMonet> How can I add a volume slider to Unity that controls OSS4 volume?
[07:21] <Guest79988> i am in home dir... i type cd /Documents...then i get: bash: cd: /Documents: No such file or directory
[07:21] <Guest79988> same for all dirs in home
[07:21] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar_, ext4 (or ext3) has the most support in GNU/Linux right now
[07:21] <westz> okay i'm sick of not being able to use torbutton, can i have two instances of firefox installed on ubuntu?
[07:21] <jrib> Guest79988: / is like c:/ in windows... you don't want /
[07:22] <C_Smith> PythonSnake, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[07:22] <soreau> Guest79988: Right, that's because /Documents does not exist. See the contents of / with 'ls /'
[07:22] <dr0pb3ar_> ZykoticK9, righto, thanks again for all your help... much appreciated
[07:22] <wols> westz: you can, but you can also fix your tor button
[07:22] <ZykoticK9> dr0pb3ar_, glad to help
[07:22] <proq> I'm trying to ssh to my ubuntu servers.  the first two or three attempts work ok but then the server seems to just ignore any new ssh requests for the next 24 hours and rebooting the server does not help.  how do I make it keep working?
[07:22] <westz> wols, well firefox 5 broke a few more addons i had
[07:22] <Guest79988> yes, i did ls, but I cant' change to any of them using cd /<dir>
[07:23] <wols> proq: fail2ban or similar installed?
[07:23] <ZykoticK9> Guest79988, if you MUST you could use "cd /home/YOURUSERNAME/Docuements"
[07:23] <wols> Guest79988: cause "/" is WRONG
[07:23] <Guest79988> ok, do i do the same without the slash?
[07:23] <soreau> Guest79988: ls by itself will show you the contents of the current working directory. From there, you do 'cd ./Directory' or just 'cd Directory'
[07:24] <wols> Guest79988: if you are in your documents and settings under windows   "cd \downloads" doesn't work either, does it?
[07:24] <Guest79988> okay..i see now
[07:24] <Guest79988> thank you for helping a noob
[07:24] <PythonSnake> C_Smith: thanks
[07:24] <C_Smith> PythonSnake, no prob
[07:24] <ZykoticK9> wols, i'm holding you to the quote "cause "/" is WRONG" forever ;)
[07:25] <Guest79988> is this the correct chat channel for noobs, btw?
[07:25] <westz> wols, what query do i use to find some doc on using two instances, or maybe a link?
[07:25] <soreau> Guest79988: Yes for help with ubuntu
[07:26] <soreau> Guest79988: You can also try #ubuntu-beginners
[07:26] <Guest79988> well, you solved my prob, thx!!! (Only 1000 more to go...)
[07:26] <wols> westz: you install one as a package the other not as one. and make sure you use different profiles for each
[07:26] <soreau> ! who | Guest79988
[07:26] <Guest79988> ok
[07:26] <Becksta> hi
[07:27] <Becksta> somebody awake and ready to give help?
[07:27] <proq> wols: no
[07:27] <PythonSnake> yes
[07:27] <soreau> ! tab | Guest79988
[07:27] <PythonSnake> hi
[07:27] <soreau> ! help | Becksta
[07:27] <Becksta> ok
[07:27] <wols> proq: check your logs why it doesn't let you log in
[07:28] <ChaosSaber> PythonSnake, hi
[07:28] <Becksta> i have 2 hdd in raid mirrot mode, which i need to put into another homeserver. do i have to "stop" the raid before? or canb i just easily put them in the new server, as they are?
[07:28] <PythonSnake> ChaosSaber: Hi
[07:29] <soreau> Becksta: Probably a good idea to backup the data then do what you need to do
[07:29] <vandemar> Becksta: just make sure you shut the system down normally and the mirror will be intact.  However if you aren't careful, a screw up while setting up an existing mirror pair inside a new machine can trash the mirror
[07:30] <westz> wols, what would i search to find how to do this? "dual firefox ubuntu" gives me stuff about syncing a profile between a dual booting computer
[07:30] <Becksta> thats for sure and the reason for asking :)
[07:32] <Becksta> well then.... i will try.... thanks for feedback
[07:32] <wols> westz: I don't know what to search for. I told you how to do it, even when it's a bad thing to do, but you insist. if the extensions just don't want to run due to versioning numbers, change these instead or tell firefox to ignore the numbers and try to run it anyways
[07:32] <milamber> westz: you should probably try googling for "instances" ~ a quick google for me gave this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400280
[07:33] <OY1R> how do i make a user the owner of all subdirectories in a directory
[07:34] <wols> OY1R: with chown -R   see man chown
[07:34] <soreau> OY1R: As your normal user: sudo chown -R $USER /path/to/directory
[07:34] <Starminn> Is there a way to highlight text using the keyboard?
[07:34] <soreau> Starminn: Yes hold down shift
[07:35] <OY1R> soreau, will that give ownership to all subdirs also ?
[07:35] <Starminn> soreau: Thank you oh so very much! I had been trying CTRL. :)
[07:35] <soreau> OY1R: The -R stands for recursive
[07:35] <soreau> OY1R: It will recursively change ownership of all files and directories
[07:38] <ZykoticK9> OY1R, i'm almost afraid to ask at this point, but what directory are you recursively changing the owner on?
[07:38] <OY1R> photorec recup dir's
[07:38] <ZykoticK9> OY1R, ok cool
[07:38] <OY1R> they belong to root
[07:39] <OY1R> i want to mess with them without "sudo nautilus"
[07:39] <ZykoticK9> OY1R, FYI you should use "sudo" with GUI apps, use "gksu" instead
[07:39] <ZykoticK9> s/should/shouldn't/
[07:40] <OY1R> ok?, what's the difference ?
[07:40] <rednose> Hi, all
[07:40] <ZykoticK9> !gksudo | OY1R
[07:41] <OY1R> thanks!
[07:41] <Starminn> soreau: How about to move that text around? I highlight it with Shift+ArrowKeys, but how can I move it with keyboard (if this is possible)?
[07:41] <OY1R> sound's like using sudo with gui's can mess up stuff real bad.
[07:42] <ZykoticK9> OY1R, it can
[07:42] <OY1R> i had no idea
[07:42] <rednose> Just installed 11.04 on fresh PC and it will not start. After GRUB prompt, all I get is blank screen
[07:42] <rednose> Video is ATI 8650
[07:42] <westz> wols, torbutton wont work with firefox 4+, its already known, though theres a beta version, it isnt stable. i only use tor to get around annoying filters at coffeeshops, so it's not like im in danger by using two installs
[07:43] <rednose> Is there any command options I should send to kernel?
[07:43] <vandemar> isn't the tor project releasing their own modified firefox versions or did they give up on that idea
[07:43] <OY1R> sudo chown -R $Reggy /media/Storage/ehdd
[07:43] <OY1R> chown: missing operand after `/media/Storage/ehdd
[07:43] <Cydd> guys
[07:43] <Cydd> google the word gay
[07:43] <Cydd> and look to the right :O
[07:43] <ZykoticK9> OY1R, is reggy your user's name?
[07:43] <OY1R> yes
[07:44] <Starminn> Cydd: Not appropriate for this channel.
[07:44] <westz> vandemar, they had a version prebundled with vidalia and such but it wasnt anything really special
[07:44] <ZykoticK9> OY1R, "sudo chown -R reggy:reggy /media/Storeage/ehdd" then
[07:44] <souji> hi I just installed ubuntu but I am not able to play dvd
[07:44] <wols> OY1R: chonw -R Reggy:Reggy...
[07:44] <souji> what should i do
[07:44] <Starminn> Cydd (But that is pretty neat)
[07:44] <souji> I am new user in linux
[07:44] <Random832> Cydd: google has done a "rainbow-ish" thing for a while on searches for LGBT topics, it just used to be easier to miss
[07:44] <OY1R> thanks
[07:44] <ZykoticK9> !dvd | souji

[07:48] <westz> tender, dont spam, and i you're going to, at least fix your spelling mistakes in between
[07:48] <Cydd> i bet english is not his first langauge
[07:48] <Cydd> so yeah take it easy on him
[07:49] <westz> well he spelled it right the first time
[07:49] <Cydd> well you're fat
[07:49] <IAmError> How do I open a root terminal? I need to open up visudo to add a user as a "sudoer".
[07:49] <appi_uppi> Hi, I'm running windows 2003 (on virtual box) in Ubuntu. I have forgotten the credential of it, I have done project and is stored in there. Is there a way to crack the password and get the data.
[07:49] <appi_uppi> ??
[07:49] <Starminn> How can I move text around with the keyboard? I highlight it with Shift+ArrowKeys, but how can I collectively move it with keyboard (if this is possible)?
[07:49] <tender> OK
[07:49] <ZykoticK9> IAmError, just add the user to the admin group, done.
[07:49] <IAmError> zykotick9: How do I do that?
[07:49] <wols> appi_uppi: google "ntpasswd"  you can reset the password with a linux live cd ISO with that
[07:49] <Starminn> appi_uppi: You are asking how to bypass something in Windows? Try ##windows
[07:50] <milamber> Starminn: ctrl + x to cut and ctrl + v to paste
[07:50] <thrillERboy> Hi, How do I setup conky on startup with custom config
[07:50] <milamber> milamber: for most programs, what program are you using, what exactly are  you trying to do?
[07:50] <Starminn> milamber: Yes, but I was just wondering if you can literally drag it
[07:50] <ZykoticK9> IAmError, i think "sudo usermod -aG admin YOURUSERNAME" would work...
[07:50] <appi_uppi> Starminn, wols thank you
[07:50] <milamber> Starminn: drag it with what?
[07:51] <Starminn> thrillERboy: Just modify whaever Conky script you want to modify and add that startup path to Startup Applications
[07:51] <pksadiq> Starminn: or I think alt+arrow keys
[07:51] <IAmError> zykotick9: says: zolgar is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.n
[07:51] <Starminn> milamber: You know how you can highlight with the mouse, then click the area and drag-and-drop? (Nope, pksadiq no luck)
[07:51] <tender> I have VMware Workstation with WinXp guest Operating system and Another PC " Computer ", i Wont To Connect this Tow PCs Together Using Cross Cable Network   !!!!! Any Idea
[07:52] <pksadiq> Starminn: it only moves lines up an down
[07:52] <Abhijit> hi
[07:52] <milamber> Starminn: ctrl + shift + alt + numlock will allow you to use the numpad as a mouse
[07:52] <ZykoticK9> IAmError, you need an account that is already in the admin group (ie that can use sudo) before you can do anything
[07:52] <pksadiq> Abhijit: hi :)
[07:52] <Abhijit> anyone got a working ppa for postler? or anyother way to get postler in ubuntu?
[07:52] <Abhijit> pksadiq, good morning
[07:52] <Starminn> pksadiq: It scrolls, rather
[07:52] <pksadiq> Starminn: if you need advanced options use vim or emacs :)
[07:52] <Starminn> milamber: Hehe, I'm aware of that, but to navigate the mouse with the NumPad, then simulate a click, hold, renavigate, release... meh
[07:53] <Starminn> pksadiq: No, I'll pass on those, hehe. I'm prefectly happy with Geany.
[07:54] <PythonSnake> what is xorg?
[07:54] <PythonSnake> do I need to install it
[07:54] <ZykoticK9> !xorg | PythonSnake are you sure it isn't already installed?
[07:54] <tender> Cydd,westz , I have VMware Workstation with WinXp guest Operating system and Another PC " Computer ", i Wont To Connect this Tow PCs Together Using Cross Cable Network !!!!! Any Idea
[07:54] <PythonSnake> thx
[07:56] <PythonSnake> what is pacman program ?
[07:56] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake, just to be clear - if you're looking at a GUI, and not a all black/white text console - then you have Xorg installed
[07:56] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake, pacman is a package utility from another distro
[07:56] <temongantengbgt> any one have been trying icecast?
[07:57] <temongantengbgt> I try icecast in ubuntu.
[07:57] <temongantengbgt> but stil no buffer
[07:59] <wizonesolutions> I'm trying to include a file in .profile if it exists, but it isn't getting included when terminals open. If I type source .profile it works fine. Isn't .profile supposed to be automatically sourced when I open a shell?
[07:59] <wizonesolutions> Well, a GUI terminal...maybe that's different.
[08:00] <wizonesolutions> And if it is...then what file should I be looking at?

[08:02] <yugiohfan2011> I decided to install the Java(TM) Plugin, Java SE 6 (package name sun-java6-plugin), and later found on the Java website that it was version 1.6.0_24. It was suggested I upgrade to version 1.6.0_26, which I tried to do without success. This leads me to believe there's a version of sun-java6-plugin version 1.6.0_26 floating around in a Ubuntu repository somewhere. The question is, how do I get at it to download and install it?
[08:03] <ZykoticK9> !java > yugiohfan2011 not sure this will help...
[08:04] <ZykoticK9> yugiohfan2011, don't expect Ubuntu packages to be the !latest however
[08:05] <Guest86650> has any one been having problems with firefox
[08:05] <yugiohfan2011> I believe I understand what's going on here. Apparently Oracle has ceased supplying latest versions to Ubuntu.

[08:17] <Guest2574> so i cant watch videos
[08:17] <Starminn> Guest86650: What version Firefox?
[08:17] <MrDudle> Guest2574: which plug?
[08:17] <ZykoticK9> Guest86650, if you have another user on your system, does their firefox do the same thing?  you could try moving the .mozilla folder to a backup name and see if default settings corrects the issue.  Have you upgraded to a newer version of Firefox?
[08:18] <MrDudle> normally just restricted extras does the the trick for me
[08:19] <ZykoticK9> Guest2574, ubuntu-restricted-extras will install Flash (and a bunch of other things as well)
[08:19] <Guest2574> so how do i fix the problem
[08:19] <ChaosSaber> ZykoticK9, where do you find that at to install all that?
[08:20] <ZykoticK9> ChaosSaber, sorry?  to install you could use "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras" Guest2574
[08:20] <Guest2574> ok
[08:21] <Guest86650> Starminn: it's 3.6 i think
[08:21] <Starminn> ChaosSaber: Software Center
[08:22] <Starminn> Guest86650: HAve you tried one of the newer versions? The current supported version is Firefox 5.
[08:22] <kdoonso> hi
[08:23] <kdoonso> on my network connection ipv6 is set to ignore is this ok
[08:23] <Guest2574> i still have the problem
[08:23] <kdoonso> it was set like this to default on windows it used to be 'active'
[08:23] <Guest2574> i can not get adobe
[08:24] <Guest86650> Starminn: I haven't tried a newer version
[08:24] <kdoonso> is ipv6 not used in ubunty
[08:24] <Guest2574> i can not get adobe
[08:24] <ZykoticK9> kdoonso, ipv6 is barely used on the internet right now...
[08:24] <kdoonso> can i enable it?
[08:25] <Starminn> Guest86650: If you do not wish to upgrade, try ZykoticK9's suggestion. Otherwise, just upgrade it (which would probably easier).
[08:25] <ThisIsMyNext> hey can somone help me troubleshoot my ssh server? it seems to work when i try to connect to it using my local ip adress but using my public ip seems to cause it to time out
[08:25] <ZykoticK9> kdoonso, doubtful - but it depends on your ISP more then anything (almost no one supports ipv6 right now)
[08:25] <kdoonso> also one other thing. when i try to install any av software such as avast, avg or bitdefender for linux the sofware console tells me its bad software that may harm computer
[08:26] <kdoonso> is this usual for any software not already on the software console list
[08:26] <ZykoticK9> !virus | kdoonso
[08:26] <kdoonso> like a default message
[08:26] <kdoonso> ok will stick with rkhunter then
[08:26] <kdoonso> and unhide
[08:26] <kdoonso> or chkrootkit
[08:26] <Dasc> how do you installing oss?  I followed the guide but seem to be missing stuff, don't have /dev/mixer
[08:27] <kdoonso> must recommend a good mag picked up from stanstead airport recently called simply linux
[08:27] <Guest86650> Starminn: I'm updating now. hopefully that will work.
[08:27] <kdoonso> its like a manual for beginners
[08:27] <ZykoticK9> Dasc, wow is it 1995?  OSS really, why?
[08:27] <kdoonso> very good
[08:28] <Starminn> Guest86650: Just bear in mind that there are a number of default aesthetic changes. You can still make it look like 3.6 pretty easily though. Menu Bar, Add-On Bar, and Tabs on Bottom should do it.
[08:28] <PythonSnake> hi
[08:28] <Dasc> ZykoticK9 - have a console only server and I want to setup the sound, don't we use OSS ?  or is there another way to setup the sound?
[08:29] <PythonSnake> can anyone join #intel-gfx ?
[08:29] <ZykoticK9> Dasc, OSS has for quite some time been superseded by ALSA
[08:29] <Guest86650> Starminn: ok
[08:30] <Dasc> ZykoticK9: I thought the website said OSS 4 is still alive and well, it says there to blacklist alsa
[08:30] <kdoonso> should i enable 802.1x security in connections tab it is not enable by defualt
[08:30] <alex88> any one from mexico
[08:30] <ZykoticK9> PythonSnake, yes there are 101 people in there.  perhaps you need to register your nick?
[08:31] <ZykoticK9> !register | PythonSnake
[08:31] <ChaosSaber> yeah cuz it let me in there
[08:31] <PythonSnake> ZykoticK9: I'm banned
[08:31] <PythonSnake> but never went to it
[08:31] <hamnegga> where is the sharkfest channel?
[08:31] <ZykoticK9> Dasc, I really wouldn't know - I haven't used OSS in close to 10 years I'm sure.  Best of luck.
[08:31] <PythonSnake> help
[08:32] <Dasc> ZykoticK9 - any link for setting up alsa on a console only ubuntu maverick?
[08:32] <kdoonso> it says md5 authentication and username password. what is 802.1x security is it needed
[08:33] <MadHaTTer666> you know there are literally thousands of decaffeinated brands that are just as tasty as the real thing!
[08:33] <PythonSnake> can anyone tell me why am I banned from #intel-gfx
[08:33] <PythonSnake> ?
[08:33] <PythonSnake> I never went there
[08:33] <Guest86650> Starminn: seems to be working fine. though none of my addons are working.
[08:33] <kdoonso> it also offers tns tunnelled tns or protected epa
[08:33] <ZykoticK9> Dasc, actually that's not ture - OpenSolaris used OSS, and that was only a couple years ago that I used that.  Sorry, I've never really setup sound in an all console environment before - wouldn't know where to begin.  Best of luck - but I do think the OSS option is probably the wrong path (but again, i could certainly me wrong)
[08:34] <Dasc> sigh~~ it's really best that I just setup X then sort out the sound isn't it? :X
[08:35] <Starminn> Guest86650: Firefox button->Add-ons, click the button next to the search and Check for Updates
[08:35] <kdoonso> in my experience of irc philosophy if your banned its simply bcause they dont like what your saying :) a bit ironic for philosophy but there you go...
[08:35] <MadHaTTer666> agreed
[08:35] <alaing> hi how can i cd into folder with a name of "2001-01-01 - 2002-06-06" from the command line. when i type dir i see there are \ where there are spaces
[08:35] <MadHaTTer666> or they just decided not to like to
[08:35] <MadHaTTer666> like u
[08:35] <monx> I moved my entire home directory onto a separate partition, but I went too deep (moved /home/user/* instead of /home/*). What would be the best way to move everything into /user/ on the new partition?
[08:36] <alaing> ultimately I would like to remove the folder and its contents
[08:36] <Guest86650> Starminn: says no updates are found
[08:37] <ChaosSaber> yeah but that will only work if they unban you
[08:37] <ZykoticK9> alaing, use double quotes around the name(s) ---- cd "2001-01-01 - example"
[08:37] <Starminn> Guest86650: You must be using some fairly obscure add-ons, then. :/ All 19 of mine work fine. Is it literally *all* of your add-ons that have stopped working?
[08:38] <Guest86650> Starminn: actually I just can't find them. thought they were in .mozilla when I backed it up.
[08:38] <Abhijit> is there any small applet or something whree i can insert local time and it will tell me UTC time?
[08:38] <monx> nevermind lol a simple mv did it
[08:40] <Starminn> Guest86650: I have no Add-Ons in my ~/.mozilla/* folder either but mine work. I don't know where it places them in the file system.
[08:40] <Dasc> anyone know how to hide the os type information from scanners?
[08:40] <Dasc> e.g.  Remote operating system : Linux Kernel 2.6 on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)  <------- hide this info
[08:41] <hypercity> when i try X -configure i get this number of screens does not match number of detected devices
[08:42] <alaing> ZykoticK9: thank you

[08:43] <sorush20> hi
[08:43] <sorush20> I can not install dhcp-server, its a transitional package.. where is the real package?
[08:44] <hypercity> can someone help me with the corect cmd line for a xorg.conf file generation?
[08:44] <wols> !errors > sorush20
[08:44] <wols> hypercity: why do you need a xorg.conf?
[08:45] <sorush20> wols: there are no errors, when I install the package it doesn't have the relevant file with it, can you look it up too.. dhcp-server
[08:45] <wols> sorush20: what is the output?
[08:45] <hypercity> wols: becouse i'm tring to revive a pc with a old radeon 9200 card , and the kms module is buggy for this configuration, i have to boot with nomodeset
[08:45] <alaing> i know rm is used to remove file/folders but how do i remove all files without specify the file now
[08:45] <hoss> How do I bridge my wireless nic with my ethernet?
[08:46] <sorush20> wols: what output, there is no output? I'm sharing the internet from my computer on eth0
[08:46] <MadHaTTer666> so?
[08:46] <wols> sorush20: apt-cache show <package>   see the "depends:" line
[08:46] <ZykoticK9> alaing, <CAREFUL> "rm *" would remove all files, except subdirectories
[08:47] <sorush20> wols: all the dependencies have been met and I don't need to type that in, as I can look at the dependencies in synaptic
[08:47] <hoss> Can someone please help me bridge my two nics?  Wireless and ethernet.
[08:47] <alaing> ZykoticK9: oh very simpliar to dos delete *.*.
[08:48] <ZykoticK9> alaing, exactly, but many gnu/linux files don't have extentions and *.* would NOT delete those
[08:48] <ChaosSaber> ZykoticK9, there was ban on the web chat client that PythonSnake was useing
[08:48] <ZykoticK9> ChaosSaber, that would make sense i guess
[08:48] <alaing> ZykoticK9: could you recommend a good line resource for learning the command line
[08:49] <hoss> should I google how to bridge interfaces?
[08:49] <wols> sorush20: have a nice day
[08:49] <ChaosSaber> I ask em why he got banned for
[08:49] <alaing> ZykoticK9: line=online
[08:49] <ZykoticK9> alaing, sorry I don't know of one - but I'm sure many exist... good luck

[08:52] <anli_> I am getting ghost pixels sometimes when I have run flash
[08:52] <anli_> So when I start a new application that has a white background, I see the flash pixels
[08:52] <anli_> anyone else that have experienced that?
[08:53] <soreau> anli_: Probably a graphics driver quirk
[08:53] <anli_> Is seems to affect everything thats white
[08:53] <anli_> ok
[08:53] <anli_> There is a white buffer in the gpu that is sometimes not white?
[08:55] <LazerBeam> Good evening everyone
[08:58] <DirtyDawg> it's 08:58am man ...
[09:02] <vandemar> .local is more standard than .lan for an mdns tld, right?
[09:03] <MadHaTTer666> isnt .local the standard for a loopback?
[09:04] <pvh_sa> vandemar, MDNS internet draft states that MDNS names have the form "single-dns-label.local"
[09:04] <pvh_sa> vandemar, http://files.multicastdns.org/draft-cheshire-dnsext-multicastdns.txt
[09:04] <vandemar> aha excellent thanks
[09:11] <saburo> Hi. Someone have tried to connect his laptop to an hdmi television using Natty?
[09:11] <dr_willis> saburo,  should work.
[09:11] <linuxuz3r> hey guys
[09:11] <dr_willis> hdmi tv - same as a hdmi monitor basically.
[09:11] <saburo> is not so.
[09:12] <dr_willis> saburo,  worked identically for me whenever i try...
[09:12] <dr_willis> if you care to state your actual problem...
[09:12] <soreau> saburo: What happens when you try?
[09:13] <saburo> I have tried using previous kernel of linux endig with .35 and all go well but not with last release of kernel
[09:13] <soreau> saburo: What graphics card is it?
[09:13] <saburo> all screen is black
[09:13] <lins> ,list
[09:13] <saburo> Intel hd graphics
[09:14] <soreau> saburo: When you plug it in, does 'xrandr' show the device as connected?
[09:14] <dr_willis> its often handy to ssh into the box from a differnt pc. so you can check dmesg logs and use xrandr commands and restart X server remotely - if needed
[09:14] <saburo> it is not a connection problem since it work with previous release
[09:14] <soreau> saburo: Right but that doesn't answer the question
[09:14] <lins> #ubuntu-cn
[09:15] <saburo> I see the tv as second monitor in ubuntu monitor configuration
[09:15] <dr_willis> i have also seen with some laptops where differnt kernel versions can affect the fn-Special keys to toggle external monitors on/off. but that dosent sound like the case here.
[09:16] <soreau> saburo: So it shows as connected and enabled but it's black?
[09:16] <saburo> yes
[09:16] <dr_willis> is it set to clone, or extended desktop?
[09:16] <saburo> ...
[09:16] <saburo> wait
[09:16]  * dr_willis waits.....
[09:16] <soreau> saburo: Can you pastebin the output of 'xrandr -q' to paste.ubuntu.com?
[09:17] <saburo> I want to explain the problem better
[09:17] <soreau> Great, we're all for that
[09:19] <saburo> When I start ubuntu, i see both monitor and tv working together. But when I login to system, all scree are black because i have configured the tv as main monitor and disabled the laptop monitor
[09:19] <saburo> the configuration work when i start ubuntu with previous version of linux kernel as stated before
[09:19] <soreau> saburo: So the kernel driver is working but there's a problem with the X driver
[09:20] <dr_willis> so it works on the GDM login screen.. but not once the user logs in?
[09:20] <soreau> saburo: Does it work if you don't disable the laptop screen?
[09:20] <Starminn> Banshee will not open. I have tried reinstalling, and even purged it yet the error persists. The error Banshee gives is: http://pastie.org/2122608 while an attempt to run from terminal was: http://pastie.org/2122611 Any assistance is appreciated. :) (Ubuntu 10.10, 32-bit)
[09:21] <saburo> I do not remember that...i think yes. The problem is when i disabled the laptop monitor
[09:22] <soreau> Starminn: Looks like a problem with sqlite
[09:22] <dr_willis> so the error is some how related to the users config.  but when you boot an older kernel on the same system. it does work?
[09:22] <soreau> Starminn: Perhaps you need sqlite3 installed? (or sqlite)
[09:22] <Starminn> soreau: In the repos?
[09:23] <soreau> saburo: It may be worth it to test if it works with the laptop screen enabled so you can file an informative bug report
[09:23] <soreau> Starminn: yes
[09:23] <saburo> dr_willis yes.. well. The configuration disable laptop monitor and enable only the tv
[09:23] <PythonSnake> Hi
[09:23] <dr_willis> also test with a newly made user. see if the 'defaults' do work.
[09:23] <PythonSnake> is kernel 3.0.0 good ?
[09:23] <PythonSnake> Should I upgrade ?
[09:24] <saburo> I remember now that when all monitor work, the second is the continuation of the first as the monitor is one attached the other
[09:24] <vandemar> PythonSnake: it's not out yet
[09:24] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  if you ahve to ask if you should use the alpha-version of the next release..... i dont think you should. :)
[09:24] <soreau> PythonSnake: If you don't have a reason to update your kernel, you probably shouldn't
[09:24] <PythonSnake> soreau: why ? :(
[09:25] <soreau> PythonSnake: Because it could cause unnecessary breakage
[09:25] <saburo> or the monitor show the same image but since the resolution is different, ubuntu use not the best resolution of my tv but that all monitor can support
[09:26] <dr_willis> if you dont have a reason... why bother.. :)
[09:26] <PythonSnake> soreau: breakage like ?
[09:26] <saburo> right.
[09:26] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  system not booting...
[09:27] <PythonSnake> my reason is to keep updated (more stable)
[09:27] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  drivers not working
[09:27] <dr_willis> !latest
[09:27] <soreau> PythonSnake: The kernel is the program in charge of the entire system at the hardware level. Using an unstable kernel could cause any number of problems
[09:27] <PythonSnake> oh
[09:27] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  updateing to a testing version of the kenel is the opposite of more stable
[09:28] <saburo> I want only the tv connected when I use it
[09:28] <Starminn> soreau: No luck.
[09:28] <PythonSnake> dr_willis what about 2.6.39 ?
[09:28] <dr_willis> saburo,  so basically when the interenal moniotor turns off.. so does the external..
[09:28] <soreau> Starminn: Well that was my only idea, sorry
[09:28] <saburo> dr_willis: yes
[09:28] <soreau> PythonSnake: Why are you considering upgrading your kernel?
[09:28] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  I just use whats in the repos.. ive rarely needed to  force upgrades or do anything weird with the kernels
[09:29] <Starminn> soreau: Hehe, that's alright. It was a good guess!
[09:29] <PythonSnake> okok
[09:29] <smmsadrnezh> I have ubuntu 10.04 on my Virtualbox and my OS is the same. I can't change the screen size of my virtual ubuntu!
[09:29] <PythonSnake> no kernel upgrade
[09:29] <PythonSnake> :)
[09:29] <PythonSnake> thx
[09:29] <smmsadrnezh>  I went to System >> Preferences >> Monitors
[09:29] <FloodBot1> PythonSnake: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:29] <dr_willis> saburo,  you might want to search/post a question on the askubuntu.com site and the forums. - it could be some bug with that exact chipset.
[09:29] <PythonSnake> ...
[09:29] <vk|lavi> Hi all!
[09:29] <gry> hello
[09:29] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  the normal update/upgrade process will upgrade the kernel as needed.
[09:29] <smmsadrnezh> but the only option for resulotion is 800*600
[09:29] <jragon_> Hi!
[09:30] <dr_willis> smmsadrnezh,  what version of vbox?
[09:30] <smmsadrnezh> resolution*
[09:30] <vk|lavi> I want to create Live-CD for PC-reanimation
[09:30] <dr_willis> vk|lavi,  theres 100's of live cds out there...
[09:30] <dr_willis> if not 1000's :)
[09:30] <vk|lavi> so, i have to implement an antivirus scanner on it (for Windows)
[09:30] <Starminn> Backslashes aren't working in terminal for me.
[09:30] <smmsadrnezh> dr_willis: Virtualbox 4
[09:30] <dr_willis> vk|lavi,  thats been done also...
[09:30] <vk|lavi> dr_willis, I need my pwn with my set of utils :)
[09:30] <Starminn> Err... Whichever *slash* it is that looks like this: \
[09:30] <dr_willis> smmsadrnezh,  you might need to install the vbox guest addations.. ie not messed with vb4 lately
[09:30] <jragon_> For some reason I can't get wine working. I can't open .exe files. It comes up with file.exe is not marked as exevuteable...?
[09:31] <Mysterytrain> what's the terminal command to start openssh server
[09:31] <saburo> ok...thanks
[09:31] <dr_willis> vk|lavi,  the askubuntu.com site had a thread on making your own live cds.
[09:31] <Starminn> jragon_: Right-click on the file, properties, permissions, mark as executable
[09:31] <chaddy> Mysterytrain: sudo start ssh
[09:31] <Mysterytrain> ty
[09:31] <soreau> jragon_: Perhaps you need to make it executable with chmod +x /path/to/file.exe
[09:31] <smmsadrnezh> dr_willis: but I think it does not work with v4?
[09:31] <vk|lavi> So can you propose me an antivirus scanner for windows, running under Linux?
[09:31] <dr_willis> jragon_,  do it from a terminal as an alternative..   'wine /path/to/whatever/file,exe'
[09:31] <gry> jragon_: right click, permissions tab in propertiesm mark as executable, retry
[09:31] <hamnegga> Anyone here got any vulnerable ip's?
[09:32] <hamnegga> share em.
[09:32] <dr_willis> vk|lavi,  theres like 3... clamav, and a few other companies that have linux versions now.. some even have their own live-cds
[09:32] <dr_willis> !av
[09:32] <gry> hamnegga: what are you trying to do ?
[09:32] <soreau> hamnegga: Please stay on topic
[09:32] <jragon_> Ok, thanks!
[09:32] <vk|lavi> dr_willis, does clamAv scan for Windows viruses?
[09:32] <gry> vk|lavi: Yes.
[09:32] <dr_willis> vk|lavi,  they ALL scan for windows vuiruses
[09:32] <dr_willis> sort of a limited use if they dident. :)
[09:33] <vk|lavi> well, thank you for your advises :)
[09:33] <smmsadrnezh> dr_willis: What should I do? there is no way with this version?
[09:33] <PythonSnake> why does my / or /home needs to be fixed every boot ?
[09:33] <saburo> Another problem: the touchpad too much click-sensitive
[09:33] <gry> saburo: Same here. Happens with any OS, though.
[09:33] <dr_willis> smmsadrnezh,  i havent used vbox4 yet. so  im not sure what may be the issue. Other then installing the proper guest addations in the guest os..  not sure what else to try.
[09:33] <wols> PythonSnake: are you accessing it from windows with fs-driver or such?
[09:33] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  perhaps youa renot shutting down properly
[09:33] <Starminn> Ubuntu 10.10, this slash \ the one for escaping things, isn't working for me in Terminal. Instead it turns into a why with to marks along the vertical axis.
[09:34] <Starminn> s/why/"Y"
[09:34] <fizy[droid]> hey did anyone else with lucid just experience a crash? I was sitting ion my bed, when I heard my hdd spin down.  i tried sshing into it to from my droid see if it crashed, since I'm too lazy to go check it
[09:34] <dr_willis> fizy[droid],  that would be ratehr impressive if a bug crashed every lucid machine at the same time.
[09:34] <wols> smmsadrnezh: you need the guest additions for v4 of course. and you get them the same place you got v4 in the first place
[09:34] <Dasc> right anyone good with apache2 setups
[09:35] <wols> you also might want the v4 host kernel module
[09:35] <dgf> hi, i just bough a ext hard disk and formatted with exfat but i cant open in ubuntu
[09:35] <dgf> anyone could help, much appreciated
[09:35] <fizy[droid]> I just want to make sure its the OS s fault like an auto update. and not my machine on fire
[09:35] <PythonSnake> wols: no
[09:35] <dr_willis> dgf,  why did you use exfat ?
[09:35] <Dasc> am trying to hide webserver info and it's not working >_X  I've put in ServerToken Prod and its still showing the same
[09:35] <dgf> is there any quick fix to format to FAT
[09:35] <wols> !exfat
[09:35] <PythonSnake> dr_willis: I do
[09:35] <dr_willis> mkfs.vfat  /dev/sdXX
[09:35] <wols> dgf: just reformat it with fat. data on the disk is lost tho
[09:35] <dgf> dr_willis: windows only have NTFS and exFat
[09:36] <dgf> dr_willis: i mean the shop i bought at have windows pc and he formatted for me
[09:36] <dgf> there are only NTFS and exFAT options
[09:36] <dr_willis> err.... windows works with vfat just fine.. im not even sure what 'exfat' is and how its related.. I thought it was the fat used by the xbox's
[09:36] <dgf> i dont know. he showed me in the Windows Patrition thing and there are only 2 formats
[09:36] <dr_willis> I dont recall ever seeing 'exfat' as an option when formating in windows.
[09:36] <dr_willis> why not just use ntfs?
[09:36] <dgf> no idea
[09:36] <wols> dr_willis: embedded fat version, good for msft to extract royalties and to have a minor improvement voer fat32
[09:36] <fizy[droid]> and I don't want to reboot it, since BIOS makes really loud beeps, and its 430 my time
[09:37] <dgf> can ubuntu read ntfs?
[09:37] <wols> dr_willis: windows 7
[09:37] <xophe> ubuntu reads ntfs yes
[09:37] <soreau> dgf: yes
[09:37] <dgf> ohhh.
[09:37] <dr_willis> I dont see much need to mess with fat at all these days
[09:37] <linuxuz3r> hey guys
[09:37] <linuxuz3r> im on ubuntu
[09:37] <linuxuz3r> lol
[09:37] <dr_willis> !ntfs-3g
[09:37] <dgf> i always have thought ntfs is only for windows
[09:37] <linuxuz3r> its nice to see a new interface
[09:37] <dr_willis> dgf,  years ago.... that was true...
[09:38] <dgf> ohh. so how can i format ntfs in ubuntu
[09:38] <dr_willis> mkfs.ntfs
[09:38] <dgf> is it a utility?
[09:38] <dr_willis> or use gparted and install the proper ntfs gools first
[09:38] <soreau> dgf: ntfs is just the NT File System. Any OS with a driver supporting this file system type can use it
[09:38] <dr_willis> dgf,  use gparted.
[09:38] <ashickur-noor> hi
[09:38] <ashickur-noor> have any body install firefox 5 in Lucid
[09:38] <dgf> ohh
[09:38] <ashickur-noor> if you do please give me the ppa
[09:38] <dgf> okie dr_willis , ill try it now
[09:38] <linuxuz3r> ashickur-noor its in beta right
[09:38] <dr_willis> ashickur-noor,  i think i saw a guide on it at the webupd8 web site.
[09:39] <dr_willis> or was it the omgubuntu site.
[09:39] <Abc> hi..I installed ubuntu in my new hp notebook and istalled the video driver from ADDITIONAL DRIVERS. After installation it asked for a restart and after I restarted the lappy started in text mode.Plz help me.
[09:39] <ashickur-noor> I need the stable version
[09:39] <dr_willis> Abc,  and your video chipset is?
[09:39] <ashickur-noor> Have any body tried it?
[09:39] <fizy[droid]> abo type wisp service gdm start
[09:40] <Abc> dr_willis : _I dont know exactly about it but its AMD RADEON 1.0 GB dedicated
[09:40] <fizy[droid]> abo what I meant to say is sudo, not wisp. stupid auto cottect
[09:40] <chaddy> wisp quite a creative typo for "sudo"?
[09:40] <dr_willis> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/firefox-5-lands-in-firefox-stable-ppa.html
[09:41] <fizy[droid]> chaddy Stfu
[09:41] <dgf> dr_willis: i m on my gparted and try to creatre a new volume, however, the filesystem option -> NTFS is greyed out
[09:41] <chaddy> fizy[droid]: get a grip of yourself
[09:41] <bazhang> fizy[droid], stop that now
[09:41] <dr_willis> dgf,  you need the proper ntfs config tools installed befor you start gparted
[09:41] <linuxuz3r> can you uninstall ppa properly?
[09:41] <eFfeM> hi, my 11.04 does not start X any more, when I log in on a console I can start it by running startx manually, already tried recreating the initramfs, but that did not help, anyone an idea ?
[09:41] <dgf> dr_willis: how to do that
[09:41] <bazhang> linuxuz3r, with ppa-purge
[09:41] <dr_willis> willis@Cowbuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[09:42] <fizy[droid]> chaddy sorry. I'm on a touchscreen and long msgs are obnoxious
[09:42] <bazhang> !info ppa-purge | linuxuz3r
[09:42] <fizy[droid]> bazhang ^^
[09:42] <linuxuz3r> ok thanks
[09:42] <dgf> dr_willis: so, once i install ntfsprogs, whats next
[09:42] <linuxuz3r> im not in natty though
[09:42] <dr_willis> dgf,  then you start gparted
[09:42] <dgf> ohh
[09:42] <linuxuz3r> im in 10.04
[09:42] <bazhang> linuxuz3r, what version
[09:43] <linuxuz3r> lucid
[09:43] <Starminn> Backslash (\) will not work in Terminal. It is instead replaced with some type of "Y". Assist?
[09:44] <dr_willis> Starminn,  does it work in the console?  what language are you using?
[09:44] <Starminn> dr_willis: Which console? I'm just using Bash.
[09:44] <linuxuz3r> Starminn try \\
[09:44] <zphinx> Been trying to install ubuntu over both pxe and usb and dvd lately on my compaq, and i keep having the installation hang on me every time after i've chosen a keyboard layout, anyone who might know the reason for this?
[09:44] <Starminn> linuxuz3r: Umm... No effect.
[09:45] <chaddy> zphinx: maybe try the alternate install disc
[09:45] <fizy[droid]> well I'm out before auto correct creates more mayhem In here. peace.
[09:45] <gaymish> Starminn: fresh install or just started to happen randomly?
[09:45] <Starminn> gaymish: Just happen randomly.
[09:45] <lotuspsychje> how can i run firefox 3 on natty to access a crappy governement website?
[09:45] <dr_willis> Starminn,  the consoles are 'alt-ctrl-f1 throguh f6'   bash is a shell you run.
[09:45] <zphinx> chaddy: ill give it a shot
[09:46] <Starminn> It still works rather, but it appears oddly.
[09:46] <Starminn> dr_willis: Nah, just a Terminal window. Single instance of gnome-terminal
[09:46] <PythonSnake> everytime I start ubuntu it says errors have been found in /home press f to fix s to skip ...
[09:46] <PythonSnake> anyone know how to fix that
[09:46] <PythonSnake> ?
[09:46] <sammmy> how do I open a file in gedit as admin?
[09:46] <chaddy> zphinx: it's a bit less user friendly but it's more robust, hardware wise
[09:46] <dr_willis> Starminn,  if it works. but looks weird.. i wonder if its a font issue
[09:46] <dr_willis> sammmy,  'gksudo gedit /path/to/file.txt'
[09:46] <Starminn> dr_willis: I'll try a different font
[09:47] <sammmy> dr_willis, why gksudo and not just sudo?
[09:47] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,   You could boot a live cd and fsck the filesystem. and be sure you  shutdown properly.
[09:47] <dr_willis> !gksudo
[09:47] <Starminn> dr_willis: Yep, that was it. Alright, thanks, and sorry for the silly overlook, haha
[09:47] <PythonSnake> how to fsck ?
[09:47] <sammmy> And is there a way to run a command in the directory that's open in a active nautilus window?
[09:48] <dr_willis> !fsck
[09:48] <PythonSnake> ok
[09:48] <PythonSnake> thx
[09:48] <dr_willis> sammmy,  run from a terminal,  getting it to use the dir from some differnt natuilus window?
[09:48] <dr_willis> sammmy,  or what do you mean exactly?
[09:49] <Abc> dr_willis : Its NVIDIA VGA
[09:49] <Starminn> dr_willis: Out of curiosity, what font do you use in gnome-terminal?
[09:50] <sammmy> dr_willis, well, if I have a directory open in nautilus, is there a way to run a command on that directory without needing to open terminal and then cd-ing to the directory I already have open in nautilus?
[09:50] <dr_willis> Starminn,  using the default - i think its ubuntu on 11.04  let me look.
[09:51] <lotuspsychje> how can i downgrade firefox 5 to 3 on natty?
[09:51] <dr_willis> sammmy,  you can drag/drop a directory icon to a terminal  window (or a file) and i think it fills in the path.
[09:51] <dr_willis> cd 'drag-and-drop'
[09:51] <markyxl> hi, does somebody have and idea why some scripts from /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks won't run on update-initramfs? i checked verbose log and it acts like they're not even there... they are all executable with correct access rights. or is there a list of scripts to run I have to edit?
[09:52] <Starminn> sammmy: Or just "gksudo nautilus" and do whatever you need.
[09:52] <sammmy> dr_willis, still have to open a terminal and then cd then drag and drop. Would be cool if nautilus had a run command feature, maybe in the future it will.
[09:52] <sammmy> Why gksudo though? I though it was just sudo?
[09:52] <sammmy> thought*
[09:52] <dr_willis> sammmy,  ive seen nauilus variants with terminals embeded in them on the f8 key.
[09:52] <dr_willis> sammmy,  to set up proper variables so gui apps run properly
[09:53] <dr_willis> running nautilus as root.. can get dangerous if you forget its running as root.
[09:53] <dr_willis> Starminn,  monospaced 10 seems to be my default font.
[09:53] <dgf> dr_willis: i have partitioned into threee drives
[09:54] <dgf> but it is weird, i only see 2 partitions
[09:54] <dgf> for your info, all of them are NTFS
[09:54] <dr_willis> did you mount all 3 of them?
[09:54] <dr_willis> 'see' them where exactly?
[09:54] <dgf> yeah
[09:55] <soreau> lol
[09:55] <dgf> i mount all 3 of them
[09:55] <dgf> on the removable media
[09:55] <sammmy> It seems like ubuntu is overriding GNOME's black cursor with ubuntu's white one. How can I prevent this?
[09:55] <soreau> dgf: Perhaps one of the partitions simply isn't mounted?
[09:55] <dgf> i even tried to delete and create again
[09:55] <dgf> yet it doesnt appear
[09:56] <dr_willis> if you deleted a partion while it was mounted.. tye shstem can be confused.. i suggest a reboot..
[09:56] <soreau> dgf: 'removable media' may or may not always be reliable
[09:56] <dgf> i try to remove now and plug it in again
[09:56] <soreau> I'd use fdisk -l or similar
[09:57] <soreau> or that's not right..
[09:57] <dr_willis> 'sudo fdisk -l'
[09:57] <soreau> oh yea :)
[09:57] <dr_willis> dgf,  i hope you are unmounting eveyrthing BEFOR you unplug the device.
[09:57] <Starminn> dr_willis: I've got one for you that's stumped me for awhile. This happened one day and no matter what font I try, it does not alleviate the problem. http://imagebin.org/160008 The letters start to blend together. For example, if you look where my pointer is, well, pointing (at your name, in fact) the W and i blend together. I'm also using (and have been using) Monospace at size 10.
[09:57] <dgf>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System /dev/sdb1               1       31871   256003776    7  HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb2           31872       63742   256003807+   7  HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb3           63743      121597   464720287+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[09:58] <soreau> dgf: See? You have /dev/sdb1, 2 and 3
[09:58] <dr_willis> dgf,  why did you make 3 partitions anyway?
[09:58] <dgf> yeah
[09:58] <dgf> i did
[09:58] <soreau> drWho cares :)
[09:58] <soreau> dr_willis: *
[09:58] <dgf> one 250GB, one 250GB
[09:58] <dgf> and third one is the remaining
[09:58] <dr_willis> Starminn,  ive had so many gfx issues with unity.. im rolling my own desktop with openbox and docky right now. :)
[09:59] <soreau> dr_willis: Bah, just use compiz master or gnome classic
[09:59] <dr_willis> dgf,  i suggest a reboot. and sdee if you can access them from a sane state.
[09:59] <dgf> ohh
[09:59] <dgf> okie
[09:59] <dr_willis> soreau,  you can use compositing in fluxbox or openbox via the xcompmgr tool :)
[09:59] <soreau> dgf: I'd suggest you review the output of 'mount'
[09:59] <vandemar> why does ubuntu's dhclient.conf have dhcp-client-identifier not set by default?
[09:59] <dr_willis> gnome-classic had the same gfx issues as unity
[09:59] <Starminn> dr_willis: This is on 10.10..
[09:59] <soreau> dr_willis: Oh come the hell on. Those wimps aren't even comparable to the mastery that is compiz
[10:00] <soreau> get real man ;)
[10:00] <dr_willis> You misspelt 'mastery' it should be 'doodie' :)
[10:00] <soreau> pffft
[10:01] <markyxl> why some scripts from /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks won't run on update-initramfs? i checked verbose log and it acts like they're not even there... they are all executable with correct access rights... is there a list of scripts to run I have to edit?
[10:01] <soreau> dr_willis: Can xcompmgr do wobbly windows, cube and blur?
[10:01] <dr_willis> actually ive seen/heard about a lot of issues with the compiz in 11.04 - seems a lot of pepole are going back to the older compiz.
[10:01] <PythonSnake> is ubuntu one safe ?
[10:01] <dr_willis> soreau,  it does enough so that the docks/docky/awn/whatever work fine. :) thats all i need.
[10:01] <soreau> Yes, compiz 0.8.x is still the stable version
[10:01] <soreau> dr_willis: bah
[10:01] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  safe in what way?
[10:01] <soreau> that's not compositing
[10:01] <soreau> that's just using a dock
[10:02] <Starminn> dr_willis: This is on 10.10, not 11.04. Does the same still apply?
[10:02] <PythonSnake> reliable..
[10:02] <dr_willis> Starminn,  not sure.
[10:02] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  ive never lost anything there yet..
[10:02] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  use dropbox and ubuntuone - and keep backups i guess..
[10:02] <soreau> I don't trust it so I don't use it
[10:03] <dr_willis> I keep wallpaper and other notes there. I like u1's   use of  the notes
[10:03] <PythonSnake> soreau: why o.o ?
[10:03] <dr_willis> it would be neat to some how sync my desktop settings to U1,. so all my box's are the same.
[10:03] <dr_willis> proberly doable.. but i havent bothered to try
[10:04] <soreau> PythonSnake: General trust issues
[10:04] <razz1> I am getting a new 4kb sector HDD for my laptop, I would like to image my existing partitions on 512bytes  sector HDD and move them to the new 4kb sector HDD, what's the best way to do this.
[10:04] <soreau> I don't trust even myself sometimes
[10:04] <PythonSnake> ..
[10:05] <bt> hi. i accidently deleted my lubuntu-rc.xml. where can i find a copy?
[10:06] <soreau> bt: On the live cd?
[10:07] <bt> soreau: i did a install from the desktop cd.
[10:08] <soreau> bt: Are you sure that's the exact name of the file?
[10:08] <bt> soreau: yes, it's /home/bt/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml
[10:08] <soreau> bt: What package provides it?
[10:09] <bt> soreau: don't know :(
[10:09] <dr_willis> !find  lubuntu-rc.xml
[10:09] <soreau> bt: Doesn't seem to be in the ubuntu file database
[10:09] <soreau> dr_willis: win :)
[10:10] <dr_willis> its provberly generated when lxde starts the first time
[10:10] <tang_> 这里可以说中文吗？
[10:10] <soreau> yea
[10:10] <soreau> bt: Try restarting openbox?

[10:16] <bt> dr_willis: got it. THANKS!
[10:16] <dr_willis> tang_,  do you have an actual ubuntu support question? or do you just like my nick ? :)
[10:17] <Rexodus> Ik think the last one...
[10:18] <tang_> dr_willis,I,linux mint11
[10:18] <dr_willis> tang_,  mint has its own support channels.
[10:18] <dr_willis> !mint | tang_
[10:18] <dr_willis> hay. srunge.us can work with pastebinit also! :)
[10:19] <dr_willis>  pastebinit  -b "http://sprunge.us" lubuntu-rc.xml      <--- handy.
[10:19] <tang_> network interface
[10:21] <Starminn> Is it possible to open a .dat file in Ubuntu?
[10:21] <dr_willis> what exactly is a 'dat' file supposed to contain?
[10:21] <chalcedony> hi dr_willis *hugs*
[10:21] <dr_willis> moo chalcedony !
[10:21] <chalcedony> :)
[10:21] <tang_> tdr_willis thank you
[10:22] <Starminn> Ehh.... Data I suppose... :/ I believe it has plain text or HTML in it, but I cannot seem ot open it.
[10:22] <westz> Starminn, depends on what program reads it. some .dat files are sound files, some are text, some are voodoo
[10:22] <dr_willis> Starminn,  gedit foo.dat    and see.
[10:22] <dr_willis> file foo.dat     see what ie says
[10:22] <pRoV7x>  hello folks
[10:23] <chalcedony> what do i need to fix, the last update of ubuntu seems to have affected my mouse - it loses stuff i highlight if i touch anything before i paste it? (regular mouse, not custom)
[10:24] <pRoV7x>  now i downloaded the Gparted live CD, which is about 127 Mb, how can i boot with it from a USB flash memory?
[10:24] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  the tools at the pendrivelinux web site can put it on a usb flash for you.
[10:25] <dr_willis> they have tools that can put gparted and other live cds on the same pendrive if you wanted.
[10:25] <Starminn> dr_willis: I've been trying things like that, and this is what I get: http://imagebin.org/160011 whereas if I open it with other programs (Geany, LibreOffice, and even Notepad++ (a Windows program) in WINE since it's off my Windows partition) I get symbols, etc.
[10:25] <pRoV7x>  where is that, is that a website?
[10:25] <dr_willis> Starminn,  where did this mystical file come from anyway? what was supposed to be in it?
[10:25] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  type pendrivelinux in your browser
[10:25] <dr_willis> its a web site.. yes
[10:26] <pRoV7x>  < dr_willis > alright
[10:26] <Starminn> Chat logs from back when I used Yahoo! Messenger client. I wanted to grep them for something
[10:26] <dr_willis> they could be encoded/compressed/ or who knows what else...
[10:26] <Starminn> They may be only able to open in Yahoo!Messenger, perhaps?
[10:27] <dr_willis> You may need to do some reserch to see   if theres some other ways..
[10:27] <Starminn> Is it possible to explore other Windows partitions from a Windows VM?
[10:28] <ChaosSaber> Starminn, I believe those files are only attached to the Messenger
[10:28] <Optimus_> bom dia
[10:28] <dr_willis> vbox can mount 'real' windows partitions. but the manual mentions it can cause data loss...
[10:28] <ChaosSaber> Inside em are normaly just codes and crap
[10:28] <Starminn> ChaosSaber: Indeed. My same thoughts.
[10:28] <Starminn> dr_willis: Even if I'm only reading them -- not writing?
[10:28] <Starminn> And why did you put 'real' in quotes?
[10:29] <dr_willis> Starminn,  real as in real physical disks...
[10:29] <dr_willis> a virtual hd is 'real' :) but not physical.
[10:29] <dr_willis> you an even convert the 2

[10:39] <Rexodus> w00t1: what is the problem?
[10:39] <plum> hey guys... can anyone help me with perl and locale errors?
[10:39] <leo_> hi
[10:40] <soreau> pRoV7x: Do you see the tutorials at the bottom?
[10:40] <chalcedony> my mouse problem (above) is in 10.04
[10:40] <leo_> i need a help
[10:40] <soreau> ! ru | w00t1
[10:40] <w00t1> if i use static ip in interfaces - i have no internet, if i use auto eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp - the same. if i comment eth0 and iface eth0 inet dhcp then it works
[10:40] <soreau> ! help | leo_
[10:41] <leo_> can i use genome 3 in ubuntu?
[10:41] <soreau> leo_: yes
[10:41] <leo_> how ?:)
[10:41] <soreau> ! gnome3 | leo_
[10:42] <pRoV7x>  < soreau > ok
[10:42] <uragan> i have a lot of diff quastions
[10:42] <uragan> i ll ask to you one by one
[10:42] <uragan> )))
[10:42] <leo_> ok
[10:42] <uragan> but not now
[10:42] <uragan> later
[10:43] <dr_willis> pRoV7x,  that sounds about right.. theres several ways to do it.. so any of the tools there can do it.
[10:44] <pRoV7x>  < soreau > mmm, ok
[10:45] <soreau> pRoV7x: When you address someone on irc, you should be able to use auto tab completion after typing the first four letters of the nick you're talking to
[10:45] <leo_> when i import files in media player from my partition it works wel at that time but after i restart my sytem they are lost
[10:45] <leo_> i mean i ve to import them again
[10:45] <Internetpc> Hi, When I insert a USB flash drive, the icon appears on the left side of the desktop.Can it be changed to right side ?
[10:45] <leo_> every time i restart my system
[10:46] <pRoV7x>  < soreau > i use mIRC
[10:47] <dr_willis> time to expand your IRC client knowledge. :)
[10:47] <dr_willis> Internetpc,  not really.. gnome just seems to perfer the left.
[10:47] <dr_willis> Internetpc,  you could just hide all icons. :)
[10:48] <Internetpc> dr_willis : How ?
[10:49] <dr_willis> theres some gnome settings to hide the mounted or unmounted volume icons. I think the unsupported (by us here) program Ubuntu-tweak has a gui/check box to do it. theres proberly other ways as well
[10:49] <dr_willis> icons on the desktop are getting rather.. well.. outdated and  slowly fadeing away
[10:51] <soreau> leo_: I don't know why that would happen. You can file a bug report on launchpad though
[10:51] <soreau> leo_: Or use the auto bug reporting tool
[10:51] <soreau> ! bug | leo_
[10:52] <dr_willis> leo_,  you havent accdenmtly ran the media player as root? its possible some of the config files in your home. are owned by root if thats the case.
[10:52] <dr_willis> leo_,  try making a new user, see if the issue affects them as well.
[10:53] <_martin_> hi all i got ubuntu 11.04 (upgrade from 10.10 running in vbox) but there seems to be no unionfs support. i tried to install the unionfs-fuse package but now i'm stuck. theres no additional fs in /proc/filesystems. how to use unionfs-fuse?
[10:53] <dr_willis> if it does - that points to a bug. if it works for the new user. that points to some issue with the problem users home/dirs/files/configs
[10:54] <leo_> thnx
[10:54] <MadHaTTer666> blah
[10:55] <PythonSnake> is wine good ?
[10:55] <leo_> when i try to trun.exe files using wine
[10:55] <leo_> i get a error msg showing "The file '/media/New Volume/Games/Flash games/Bubble_Trouble.EXE' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit."
[10:56] <lafon> leo_: Do you trust the source?
[10:56] <leo_> yup
[10:56] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  wine works very well given the complex job it has to do.
[10:56] <PythonSnake> can wine run games ?
[10:56] <dr_willis> leo_,  use the terminal...    wine /path/to/whatever.exe   is the easy way to get around that
[10:56] <dr_willis> leo_,  or copy the file to your home dir. and make it 'executable'
[10:57] <dr_willis> !appdb | PythonSnake
[10:57] <leo_> how?
[10:57] <PythonSnake> !windows
[10:57] <dr_willis> wine  '/media/New Volume/Games/Flash games/Bubble_Trouble.EXE'
[10:57] <dr_willis> from a terminal.. should work
[10:57] <PythonSnake> Bubble_Trouble
[10:57] <PythonSnake> lol
[10:58] <dr_willis> wine wiorks with most of the popcap games ive tried.
[10:58] <dr_willis> some times copy protection can be an issue
[10:58] <lafon> leo_: right-click>properties>Permissions>execute
[10:58] <PythonSnake> do I need Wine app db ?
[10:59] <dr_willis> its a web site...
[10:59] <PythonSnake> oh
[10:59] <PythonSnake> ok thx again dr_willis
[11:00] <zphinx>   just managed to load up an ubuntu pxe install with the alternate cd on my laptop with tftpd, and now for some reason the laptop cant connect to any of the ubuntu mirrors
[11:01] <_martin_> anybody ever setup up unionfs in ubuntu??
[11:01] <zphinx> should i reenable dhcp on the home hub once the pxe install has gotten going?
[11:01] <dr_willis> zphinx,  or set up static up/dns perhaps.
[11:02] <zphinx> tftpd is providing dhcp atm, the home hub is still there but with dhcp turned off
[11:02] <Phylock> I have a problem with my webcams, i can only activate each of them once for each boot. Second time I try to start it I get a "select timeout". it doesn't matter(tried in vlc, opencv code and mplayer) in which program i start it, so i guess its a v4l2 problem. Any ideas how to continue?
[11:02] <dr_willis> could be the tftpd is not getting the right info from the hub then? ive never domne an inzstall this way
[11:02] <voicu> how can I give applications "fake" fullscreen resolutions? i.e. something not listed in system settings -> display
[11:03] <zphinx> dr_willis: its a major pain in the ass, i can tell you.
[11:03] <Gilgha> Hi
[11:03] <Phylock> voicu: meny applications hav a config file, try to hadcode it in there.
[11:03] <Gilgha> Is somebody know how to transfert data between Win7 and Ubuntu with a RJ45 wire?
[11:04] <dr_willis> Gilgha,  you mean a network cable?
[11:04] <Gilgha> yep dr_willis, an ethernet calbe
[11:04] <Gilgha> *cable
[11:04] <dr_willis> Gilgha,  you need either a crossover cable. or  1000gb network cards I think.
[11:05] <dr_willis> or whatever that term is.. im groggy. :)
[11:05] <Gilgha> I do have a crossover cable
[11:05] <dr_willis> then set up static ip's on both box's - see if they can ping each other.. then start copying.
[11:05] <dr_willis> winscp is handy for this
[11:05] <walt> what is it that allows for example thunar to mount drives without root? And not adding anything to /etc/fstab
[11:05] <lafon> hmm...I get this error when trying to start up a program thru wine: http://paste.ubuntu.com/632955/
[11:05] <Gilgha> winscp so that you copy with SFTP?
[11:05] <dr_willis> walt,  its using the gvfs service/feature i belive
[11:06] <dr_willis> winscp = ssh client for windows with a ftp like front end. yes.
[11:06] <wols> dr_willis: not thunar
[11:06] <ghsh> walt: mtab
[11:06] <dr_willis> not thunar? Hmm. i may be thining of pcmanfm then
[11:06] <Gilgha> ok that's not a bad idea. I first tought of using samba but winftp seems to be a better choice
[11:07] <dr_willis> I still like rox-filer  :) but its the old-skool kid these days
[11:07] <Gilgha> thanks dr_willis
[11:07] <dr_willis> samba is a pain. :) ssh/scp will take less time to get going
[11:07] <walt> ghsh: so, thunar adds an entry to /etc/mtab and then mounts it?
[11:07] <dr_willis> not sure how much faster/slower scp would be compared to samba.
[11:08] <wols> dr_willis: those both don't use gvfs. xfce brings its own autmounter
[11:08] <Gilgha> ok thanks I'm gonna try this right now
[11:08] <dr-lee> hi
[11:08] <ghsh> walt: kind of -- thuner user a prog that does that
[11:08] <wols> dr_willis: nautilus, sure. the others: no
[11:08] <ghsh> uses
[11:08] <dr_willis> wols,  i missread at --> http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/
[11:09] <walt> ghsh: what does it use? Because editing /etc/mtab also requires root priviliges?
[11:09] <dr_willis> its a 'goal' in the next release it seems
[11:09] <walt> Just trying to wrap my head around what I would need to do to mount things as a user and not use thunar
[11:09] <Ampelbein> walt, ghsh: I guess you are looking for fuse.
[11:10] <ghsh> walt: edit /etc/group
[11:10] <dr_willis> but then it says the 'next geenration of pcmanfm is to be out in 2010' ... so im not sure if its doing it or not..
[11:10] <wols> dr_willis: isn't pcmanfm the filemanager for one of the "Light" desktops? dragging in gvfs and therefore gnome would be a stupid idea
[11:11] <PythonSnake> !appdb
[11:11] <dr_willis> wols,   they discuss thast on the web site.
[11:11] <dr_willis> I just noticed that my filemanager icon is launching nautilus, not pcmanfm. :)  so the point is moot for me anyway
[11:13] <dr_willis> pcmanfm does seem to be using the .gvfs directory here...  at least the network share i just accessed from it. appeared there.
[11:13] <sugoruyo> hi folks, i need to find a way to monitor the cpu usage (and possibly the memory usage) of specific processes generating a minimum, maximum and average
[11:16] <dr_willis> further research - indicates that pcmanfm does in fact use gvfs.   http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?t=1422&f=22
[11:16] <ghsh> sugoruyo: top
[11:16] <sugoruyo> ghsh:
[11:16] <ghsh> sugoruyo: yes
[11:16] <sugoruyo> ghsh: can top do that for me?
[11:16] <ghsh> sugoruyo: it can serve as a means yes
[11:17] <smit-tay> I can't seem to get Gnome to maintain my German qwertz keyboard layout.  It keep reverting to German qwerty on re-boot
[11:17] <sugoruyo> ghsh: but it can't do it on its own?
[11:17] <rufian> my laptop sucks with linux u.u
[11:17] <ghsh> sugoruyo: man top -- a simple script
[11:17] <smit-tay> Anz ideas ?
[11:17] <smit-tay> Any
[11:17] <ghsh> sugoruyo: it's a back end
[11:17] <Phylock> rufian: then choose something else, its a free world
[11:18] <Firefishe> I'm using ubuntu 10.04, and experimenting with the e17 libraries from packages.enlightenment.org/ubuntu.  (I'm also asking this on #e, but it's quiet there now).  I get this error with the ecomorph module when trying to start ecomp:  No whitelisted driver found.
[11:18] <sugoruyo> ghsh: i know what top is but it doesn't provide me with min,max,avg
[11:18] <bilegt> #join archlinux
[11:18] <ghsh> sugoruyo:  lol hence the script
[11:18] <rufian> Phylock, you mean Windows? BSD?
[11:18] <sugoruyo> ghsh: i know how to run it in intervals rather than interactive, how to make it monitor what pids i want it to
[11:19] <sugoruyo> ghsh: i'm not familiar with scripting though...
[11:20] <ghsh> sugoruyo:  well that would be the only way i could do it
[11:20] <dilruk> im wondering which is better... sun or open jdk... anyone?
[11:20] <ghsh> sugoruyo:  i know no gui way sorry
[11:20] <apporc> under /etc/init why there isn't a apache2.conf ifle.
[11:21] <ghsh> dilruk: sun
[11:21] <apporc> How are you , my friends , with ubuntu 10.10 , under /etc/init why there isn't a apache2.conf file
[11:21] <sugoruyo> ghsh: what you're talking about is basically running top in intervals and getting the info from its output, putting it through a script keeping the min and max and summing it so we can have an average at the end
[11:21] <sugoruyo> right?
[11:21] <ghsh> dilruk: solaris all the way
[11:21] <wols> apporc: cause there shouldn't be any conf files in /etc/init.d/
[11:21] <dilruk> ghsh: why do you say so?
[11:21] <apporc> Is that apache2 is not controled by upstart?
[11:22] <ghsh> sugoruyo:  yes
[11:22] <sugoruyo> ghsh: i don't want no gui method, it's gonna be run over ssh on ubuntu server headless machines
[11:22] <ghsh> dilruk: runs better sun --- is java! they even had a java desktop
[11:23] <sugoruyo> ghsh: the part i'm unfamiliar with is the bash scripting, specifically which commands i could use (and how) to "parse" the output from top
[11:23] <ghsh> sugoruyo:  then there you go
[11:23] <apporc> wols: not /etc/init.d  ,  it is /etc/init .
[11:23] <dilruk> ghsh: im also using sun. just wondering if open jdk is any good
[11:23] <ghsh> sugoruyo: man bash sed bc touch mkdir etc
[11:24] <apporc> How are you , my friends , with ubuntu 10.10 , under /etc/init why there isn't a apache2.conf file;is that apache2 is not controled by upstart?
[11:24] <Melior> Is it possible to mount rar files and still have execute permission on the image file inside? Currently i only have read permission and some apps have trouble opening it
[11:25] <Ampelbein> apporc: apache2 has no upstart script at the moment, see bug 689454
[11:26] <apporc> Ampelbein: thanks.
[11:26] <apporc> ubottu: thank you .
[11:26] <apporc> ubottu: thanks , bot.
[11:27] <ghsh> Melior: you decompress a rar not mount it -- that is your start
[11:28] <dilruk> I just started using ubuntu from windows... Can someone recommend me a torrent client
[11:28] <Ampelbein> dilruk: transmission is pretty good and installed by default.
[11:29] <io> !info transmission | dilruk
[11:30] <Melior> ghsh: I was trying to aboid the disk load..
[11:30] <dilruk> Thanks guys, but transmission is too simple...compared to utorrent on windows
[11:30] <dilruk> what would u recommend for a utorrent fan?
[11:30] <voicu> ktorrent
[11:30] <psycho_oreos> qbittorrent
[11:30] <ghsh> Melior: why
[11:30] <Ampelbein> dilruk: azureus
[11:30] <dilruk> voicu: that runs on kde right?
[11:31] <voicu> dilruk: it's kde based but it can run on any desktop
[11:31] <dilruk> Which one is native gnome?
[11:31] <voicu> why does it have to be native gnome?
[11:31] <Melior> ghsh: Enough diskload already. And if i have to do this for a really large amount of files, then it's pain in the ass :)
[11:31] <dilruk> voicu: coz i dont wanna install the kde libs :)
[11:31] <Melior> Funny thing is that fuse only give readonly, why not just execute as well?
[11:32] <ghsh> Melior: agree -- then i would use tar
[11:32] <voicu> ok :-?
[11:32] <Melior> ghsh: Files are in rar already
[11:33] <dilruk> how is qbittorrent
[11:33] <dr_willis> dilruk,  it works.. most torrent clients work fairly well these days
[11:34] <ghsh> Melior: yes then use unrar
[11:34] <dr_willis> dilruk,  utorrent has a linux port. - web only interface.
[11:34] <dilruk> dr_willis: i prefer a desktop app
[11:35] <Melior> ghsh: Sure i know that's possible. But still prefer to not unrar.
[11:35] <ghsh> dilruk: vuze or qtorrent
[11:35] <dr_willis> dilruk,  dozens of clients out there.
[11:35] <dr_willis> dilruk,  pick one try it.. move on if you dont like it. transmission works well for most people these days
[11:35] <bannik> hey guys , I have a problem with my mouse, sometimes randomly the mouse goes wild and starts moving left and right all the time and clicking everything (sometimes goes top corner and multiply hits shutdown etc) and sometimes when it goes wild the monitor freezes I cant click anything until I click all the mouse buttons which sets it back to normal
[11:35] <ghsh> Melior: yes told you how
[11:36] <Aon> Hi all!
[11:36] <dilruk> How about Deluge? anybody tried it?
[11:36] <Aon> Where i can download Android Execution Environment?
[11:37] <ghsh> Melior: k just figured it out
[11:37] <dr_willis> !info deluge
[11:37] <dr_willis> 116k - wonder what libs it uses.
[11:37] <Melior> ghsh: Sorry i don't see what you mean? Files are in rar format. So cannot use tar..?
[11:37] <Abhijit> is there any software to take care of ajenda of meeting, notes, minutes etc?
[11:37] <dr_willis> tar does not do rar archives. -
[11:38] <Aon> Where i can download Android Execution Environment?
[11:38] <ghsh> Melior: you are lot in thought
[11:38] <dr_willis> Aon,  perhaps ask in #android
[11:38] <ghsh> Melior: lost
[11:38] <bannik> anyone?
[11:39] <Melior> ghsh: well it's possible in windows at least ;) Just hoping for the same in linux.
[11:39] <ghsh> Melior: yes
[11:39] <Bella> how do I get l;atest live cd to boot on a macbook?
[11:39] <ghsh> Melior: it is
[11:39] <linxeh> Bella: hold down C
[11:39] <ghsh> Melior: there are many ways
[11:39] <Melior> ghsh: which are?
[11:40] <dr_willis> 'mc' lets me browse the contents of rar archives and copy things out...
[11:40] <Bella> linxeh, it goes through boot scripts but when it starts x it goes black screen
[11:40] <Bella> can't access tty's ect
[11:40] <ghsh> Melior: well you said you can mount it but it has the wrong permisions
[11:40] <linxeh> Bella: how long did you wait ?
[11:40] <Melior> ghsh: right.
[11:41] <ghsh> Melior: yes mc rocks and it uses rar and rar as back end
[11:41] <linxeh> Bella: Its been a long time, but I seem to remember it giving me a black screen for several minutes the last time I tried (this would have been on 8.10 or 9.x I guess)
[11:41] <Bella> linxeh, a LONG time
[11:41] <ghsh> Melior: THAT"S WHAT I SAID
[11:41] <Aon> Where i can download Android Execution Environment?
[11:41] <Melior> ghsh/ dr_willis: Still need to extract the content though with mc /unrar
[11:42] <linxeh> Bella: I'm downloading the 11.04 image now, as I want to try it on my recent macbook pro (so I can attempt to update my SSD firmware)
[11:42] <linxeh> Bella: what macbook do you have?
[11:42] <Bella> 2 or 3 years old... core 2 duo
[11:42] <linxeh> is it running osx atm ?
[11:42] <Bella> yeah
[11:42] <linxeh> apple -> about this mac -> more information
[11:43] <ghsh> Melior: exactly -- so as i said before
[11:43] <dr_willis> Melior,  yes.. thats going to be the case..  thats abouit all i ever do with rars anyway
[11:43] <linxeh> bella: it should give you a model identifier on the first page that comes up
[11:43] <ghsh> Melior: you have them mounted just wrong permision
[11:43] <linxeh> Bella: eg MacBook2,1 (mine is MacBookPro8,2, my older macbook is a 2,1)
[11:43] <dr_willis> rar - used badly in so many ways.. :)
[11:43] <Melior> ghsh: and how would you have done this to get right permissions? s: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=573307
[11:44] <Bella> linxeh, 5,2
[11:44] <linxeh> Bella: nice :)
[11:45] <ghsh> Melior: mine would be neeter
[11:46] <loufoque_> how can I enable icons on the nautilus right-click menu?
[11:46] <linxeh> Bella: my parents have a 5,1 unibody which shares the same insides as yours pretty much - is yours a 2ghz or 2.13 ?
[11:47] <ghsh> Melior: they use chmod and if you just copied it thats the error
[11:48] <Melior> ghsh: I did just copy. But shouldn't it would as sudo user not matter what?
[11:49] <PythonSnake> hi
[11:49] <PythonSnake> help
[11:49] <PythonSnake> it wont let me check  allow executing file as a program
[11:49] <Abhijit> is there any software to take care of ajenda of meeting, notes, minutes etc?
[11:50] <PythonSnake> please..
[11:50] <ghsh> Melior:  it was a generic to "whom"
[11:50] <loufoque_> Abhijit: evolution can do it
[11:51] <PythonSnake> help?
[11:51] <loufoque_> there are also extensions to thunderbird to deal with calendars
[11:51] <barberan> hi
[11:51] <ghsh> Melior:  also your post is a good clue
[11:51] <loufoque_> PythonSnake: you need to be the owner of the file
[11:52] <PythonSnake> loufoque_: how ?
[11:52] <ghsh> you added a group and you are not the usr
[11:52] <barberan> I've just installed new ubuntu 11.04, and I do not like it's GUI... I'd like to come back to general GNOME... how do I switch it ?
[11:52] <oCean> !classic | barberan
[11:52] <Abhijit> loufoque_, ok
[11:52] <PythonSnake> how to be owner ?
[11:52] <PythonSnake> ?
[11:53] <Markus_> Hi all! Its sex chat?
[11:53] <Bella> linxeh, i have no idea, just want to know mint will boot on a macbook even with whatever options
[11:53] <oCean> Markus_: this is ubuntu support
[11:53] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  clafiry what you are doing exactgly.  and what filesystem the file is on.
[11:53] <ghsh> PythonSnake: chown
 oh good. And if i have ubuntu u help me with sex yes?
[11:54] <PythonSnake> I want to run an exe with wine. I have to  allow executing file as a program but it won't let me.
[11:54] <Bella> anyone, won't boot live on macbook 5,2
[11:54] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  copy the exe to your home dir.. and set its permissions.. or use the command line method -->   wine /path/to/whatever.exe
 PythonSnake,  clafiry what you are doing exactgly.  and what filesystem the file is on.
[11:55] <loufoque_> PythonSnake: only the owner or root can change the owner
[11:55] <dr_willis> you CANT change the permissions of a single file thats on a cd/dvd/ntfs/vfat filesystem..   it has to be done via mount options
[11:55] <loufoque_> I think
[11:55] <ghsh> dr_willis: hahaha man chmod and chown
[11:56] <ghsh> dr_willis: wrong
[11:56] <dr_willis> ghsh,  ntfs-3g does not allow it.
[11:57] <dr_willis> nor does ntfs , or vfat.. and you really cant cahgne permissions on optical media
[11:57] <yaneq> how can i output the contents of a file to the command line and highlight lines that match a search criteria?
[11:57] <dr_willis> ext2/3/4 - or whaever.. yes...  non-linux ones are the problem
[11:58] <ghsh> dr_willis: yes but do what you want
[11:58] <dr_willis> telling him to make it executable when the file is on an optical disk - is not going to work
[11:58] <dr_willis> wine /path/to./whatever.exe  will  work in any case
[11:58] <ghsh> <dr_willis
[11:59] <oshekfeh> Hello, I installed ubuntu recent, but I have a problem with Wifi network adapter driver, I found the driver file but I don't know how can I install this driver, the adapter is intel 5100 agn?
[11:59] <oCean> lilstevie: please disable the znc feature that changes your nick
 sun the djrfs whatever then jfs then  ext4
[11:59] <Melior> Any reason why this command only works for sudo: read -r _ num _ < <(sort -r -t: -n -k1 test.txt); echo "${num#\#}"
[11:59] <dilruk> i installed qbittorrent....when i minimized it dissapeared. how can i get it back
[12:00] <dilruk> im on unity
[12:00] <Melior> error is "-sh: syntax error near unexpected token `<'"
[12:00] <dr_willis> dilruk,  disable the feature of it to minimize to the systemtray,  unity blacklists most programs from going there  now a days. to reduce clutter.  is one way
[12:00] <dr_willis> dilruk,  or add it to the list of allowed apps to appear in the 'systray'
[12:01] <dilruk> how can i allow it?
[12:01] <pcypher> what was the name of that old web game where... I think the first level was to change the url to level two...
[12:01] <oCean> pcypher: how is that an ubuntu issue?
[12:01] <ghsh> dilruk>alt tab
[12:01] <CodenameStrike> dr_willis: actually, even with the blacklisting cleared from Unity, some Qt apps has the annoying issue to be hidden after it finishes its task
[12:01] <pcypher> Sorry Ocean...wrong window...
[12:01] <CodenameStrike> e/g: Kget
[12:01] <dr_willis> CodenameStrike,  lots of issues with lots of apps.. sadly
[12:02] <dr_willis> dilruk,  http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/things-to-tweak-fix-after-installing.html
[12:02] <oshekfeh> Hello, I installed ubuntu recent, but I have a problem with Wifi network adapter driver, I found the driver file but I don't know how can I install this driver, the adapter is intel 5100 agn?
[12:02] <dilruk> thanks i will take a look
[12:02] <dr_willis> they never should of enabled that whitelist/blacklist feature.. it causes way to many issues.. or they should of made some 'grandfather systray' gizmo you could use.
[12:02] <CodenameStrike> dr_willis: well with that the issue was apparently the app hides its tray icon when its idle, and has to be invoked from KDE's dropdown list of hidden tray icons
[12:02] <CodenameStrike> in the tray
[12:02] <dr_willis> Im not sure why  theres such a trend to change/hate/mess with the indicator-systray-stuff.
[12:03] <CodenameStrike> dr_willis: like?
[12:03] <CodenameStrike> well even if it wasn't enabled... I don't think the blacklist/whitelist problem applies to Qt apps
[12:03] <CodenameStrike> well, some of them, anyway
 man modprobe  and ismode
[12:04] <oshekfeh> ghsh: ok thanks
[12:04] <dr_willis> CodenameStrike,  they just basically broke many apps from even accessign it.. :)  why the trend to 'get rid of the left/right' menus, why no more animated icons.. why 'mono-color themes' buy default....
[12:05] <dr_willis> you can install 'alternative' systray programs like trayer, and stalonetray  to make it a littel easier.
[12:06] <Phylock> I have a problem with my webcams, i can only activate each of them once for each boot. Second time I try to start it I get a "select timeout". it doesn't matter(tried in vlc, opencv code, mplayer or fswebcam) in which program i start it, so i guess its a v4l2 problem. Any ideas how to continue?
[12:08] <pRoV7x>  dr_willis: thank you, i resized the partitions the way i wanted by the Gparted after puting it on a USB flash memory, using the Universal USB Installer, just like you said, it's awesome, nothing went wrong.
[12:08] <_dmk> hey, quick question: what does it mean if an original LiveCD from Cannonical stops in an black screen?
[12:09] <dr_willis> _dmk,  whats yoru video chipset?
[12:09] <_dmk> wait a minute :)
[12:09] <ghsh> Phylock; so simple my friend
[12:10] <dr_willis> Phylock,  you could try unload/reloading the module. but thats a bit of a dirty work around.
[12:10] <_dmk> ok graphics card should be an x1950 pro 256mb
[12:10] <ghsh> Phylock; just kill the pid
[12:11] <ghsh> Phylock; and if thats a pain make script than when you exit it kills it
[12:11] <_dmk> should be the Radeon R520 chipset
[12:12] <dr_willis> !nomodeset
[12:12] <dr_willis> we need a factoid for that option.  its such a pain to explain how to enable it.
[12:12] <root> quit
[12:12] <Phylock> ghsh: cant find the pid, the program closes as it should.
[12:12] <oCean> dr_willis: you can suggest one in query with ubottu
[12:13] <ghsh> Phylock; ps -aux
[12:13] <dr_willis> oCean,  just foind a decent thread on it --->   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[12:13] <_dmk> ah yeah and the pc was working perfectly! now i shot my mbr and i am trying to get into the live cd to fix it
[12:13] <dr_willis> with screenshots :)
[12:13] <dr_willis> _dmk,  try enableing the nomodeset option - it may work -->  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[12:14] <Blades> hello
[12:15] <Blades> hi
[12:15] <Phylock> ghsh: i tried a doing that before and after and run a diff, no new processes
[12:16] <ghsh> Phylock; killall and kill -9
[12:18] <ghsh> Phylock; so -- are they dead
[12:18] <Phylock> ghsh: but i still doesn't know the PID, i cant see any new processes after running an application which uses v4l2, i just can't open the webcam vidio stream again until i have done a reboot
[12:19] <ghsh> <Phylock my dumb teen freind then kill it
[12:20] <pdeeg> Hi, there is any way i can upgrade mysql in ubuntu 10.10 to mysql/5.5.13 from pakages ?
[12:20] <PythonSnake> dr_willis: I copied to home and changed but when I copy it again it changes its permission..
[12:20] <dr_willis> Phylock,  unloading the webcam module, or the v4lin module might   reset it.
[12:20] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  try 'wine /path/to/the.exe'       that way you even see any error messages that may appear.
[12:21] <_dmk> dr_willis ok problem: the live cd boots up gives me an magenta screen than a black screen with a cursor blinking in the top left edge
[12:21] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[12:21] <dr_willis> _dmk,  you saw the ioptions screens that url showed? enabled nomodeset via the f6 key?
[12:22] <ghsh> dr_willis: none of that is like --- go help at #windows
[12:22] <dr_willis> ghsh,  whatever....
[12:22] <ghsh> dr_willis: LINUX
[12:23] <PythonSnake> dr_willis: it worked !
[12:23] <PythonSnake> thx
[12:23] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  if the installer works right. it should add an icon to the menus that launches the game.
[12:23] <PythonSnake> dr_willis: how to kill a process ?
[12:23] <PythonSnake> it froze
[12:23] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  ctrl-c in the terminal its running in., is one way.
[12:24] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  xkill in a differnt terminal, then click the offending window - is also a common way
[12:24] <vimalg2> PythonSnake: kill <pid>
[12:24] <vimalg2> else, kill -p <pid>
[12:24] <_dmk> dr_willis i had to hit "any key". sorry didn't see that
[12:24] <dr_willis> then theres use of the kill and killall commands.
[12:24] <dr_willis> _dmk,  wheres that darn anykey! :)
[12:24] <meera> which programm is best for ubuntu 10.4 + ipodtouch g3 for transfer photos?
[12:24] <_dmk> dr_willis now testing the nomodeset via the f6 key
[12:24] <vimalg2> PythonSnake: oops, i meant kill -9 <pid>
[12:24] <_dmk> dr_willis :p
[12:24] <oCean> dr_willis: do you have a minute for pm?
[12:25] <dr_willis> You should really try the niormal kill, then -9 if kill fails. :) but xkill is easier to use
[12:25] <dr_willis> oCean,  sure.
[12:25] <PythonSnake> where is xkill ?
[12:25] <dr_willis> wife is sleeping off her painpill
[12:25] <RevSpecies116> Terminal ;)
[12:25] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  open a terminal.. run xkill
[12:25] <gry> PythonSnake: Then click the window you want to kill.
[12:25] <PythonSnake> thanks
[12:26] <dr_willis> PythonSnake,  be carefull what window you click on once you see the skull with xkill.. it can kill the whole desktop
[12:26] <dr_willis> right click to cancle xkill
[12:26] <_dmk> dr_willis done, but i am also now in this black screen with the blinking cursor... but i will wait a few minut, probably my external cd is slow :p
[12:26] <PythonSnake> lol
[12:26] <_dmk> *minutes
[12:27] <sayz> dr_willis: i agree with you absltly
[12:27] <dr_willis> xkill - use with caution. :) thats why theres not an icon for it by default i imagine...
[12:27] <dr_willis> 'i wonder what this icon does' , 'oh a skull how cute'  'oh my system crashed...'
[12:27] <gry> dr_willis: Is there an icon for kill? :-)
[12:27] <dr_willis> You could make one. ive seen  them on some disrtos
[12:28] <gry> I see.
[12:28]  * dr_willis makes a hocky mask icon for xkill.
[12:28] <RevSpecies116> I've seen an xkill icon on DSL [DamnSmallLinux]
[12:28] <dr_willis> makes a script that plays some horror movie music...
[12:28] <gry> RevSpecies116: \o/
[12:28] <xarth> bonjour
[12:28] <gry> bonjour
[12:29] <RevSpecies116> Good day, xarth - can we help
[12:29] <RevSpecies116> ?
[12:29] <_dmk> dr_willis any other suggestions?
[12:31] <dr_willis> _dmk,  other then check your exact chipset of videocard and laptop on the forums and askubuntu.com - not really. theres just a lot of quirky issues with ati and nvidia  and some of the newer drivers/chipsets
[12:31] <dr_willis> _dmk,  you may be able to install using the alternative installer cd..  that pc dosent have one of those 2 video card setups does it?
[12:32] <gimpy1380> I'm tyring to VNC into a 10.04 box and I can see the desktop but I can't move or click anything even though I have the box checked to allow me to control it.  Any ideas why?
[12:32] <Goliath> hey
[12:32] <Goliath> does ubuntu deliver free installation cds?
[12:32] <wols> not anymore
[12:32] <RevSpecies116> Goliath: Not anymore
[12:32] <elyawy> no sound in ubuntu on imac 9,1anyway to get a fix? and push it into an update?
[12:32] <RevSpecies116> But check out your nearest LoCo group - they may help you out
[12:32] <Goliath> RevSpecies116: LoCo?
[12:33] <RevSpecies116> Local Community
[12:33] <RevSpecies116> LoCo
[12:33] <Goliath> oh
[12:33] <dr_willis> book stores often have the various linux magazines that include disks as well.
[12:33] <Goliath> RevSpecies116: i can install my systems. i was just curious how could ubuntu give free of charge cds
[12:33] <RevSpecies116> For example, I am in New Zealand - so if I needed local support, I'd look out for the loco-nz :)
[12:34] <Goliath> it seems canonical has really expanded
[12:34] <dr_willis> Goliath,  they had lots of $$$ :)
[12:34] <dr_willis> it was good marketing i guess to get a foot in the door sort of thing.
[12:34] <RevSpecies116> Goliath: Canonical stopped Shipit with I believe 9.10
[12:34] <dr_willis> I thought shipit stopped only recently.
[12:35] <tsimpson> it stopped sometime after the last LTS I think
[12:35] <dr_willis> i will confess.. i did get a few free cd's because i could. :)
[12:35] <RevSpecies116> Nope - otherwise I'd have a 10.04LTS CD from Shipit
[12:35] <sudokill> its nice to have official cd
[12:35] <quiescens> effort
[12:35] <tsimpson> but, it just became too expensive to keep shipping free CDs around the world...
[12:35] <RevSpecies116> Your nearest LoCo's may hook you up with free CD's and stickers
[12:35] <Goliath> ubuntu may some time frustrate more advanced linux users
[12:35] <whiter> anyone know why i can't connect to for example port 2082?
[12:36] <Goliath> but it has done a good job
[12:36] <Goliath> at least versus os x and windows
[12:37] <RevSpecies116> Goliath: Start http://loco.ubuntu.com/ <-- There :)
[12:37] <dr_willis> its the old.. 'press forward with new innovations' or 'stick to what everyone knows' trap.
[12:37] <RevSpecies116> Unity is the future of Ubuntu :)
[12:37] <RevSpecies116> I cannot wait for 12.04LTS
[12:37] <dr_willis> current trend in os's seem to be 'full speed ahead! who cares if we break old stuff....'
 firewall check with nmap winshark etc
[12:37] <RevSpecies116> And Weyland in 14.04LTS
[12:37] <whiter> ghsh, thanks, it was mobloquer
[12:38] <Goliath> RevSpecies116: does canonical make money from giving support to companies?
[12:38] <RevSpecies116> Yes
[12:38] <dr_willis> they sell linux support to companies I thouight.. :)
[12:38] <ghsh> :)
[12:38] <RevSpecies116> But it does not make a 'profit'
[12:39] <krisss117> hi, i have a problem, when i connect my TV to my laptop (on S-Video) i see the screen, but all screen shake
[12:39] <_dmk> dr_willis i only have one graphic card. Ubuntu ran before: perfectly, but since yesterday my mbr is broken and i have to restore it.
[12:40] <dr_willis> _dmk,  how did you break the mbr?
[12:41] <RevSpecies116> krisss117: Is your TV an LCD or a old CRT?
[12:41] <_dmk> dr_willis don't ask me, just wanted to boot my system up and then "no bootable device found: please insert a..."
[12:41] <dr_willis> _dmk,  err. that could be the hard drive failed..
[12:42] <_dmk> dr_willis hopefully not
[12:42] <dr_willis> _dmk,  or your bios is not seeing the hds at all.
[12:42] <dr_willis> i would check the bios first.
[12:42] <_dmk> dr_willis checking...
[12:42] <dr_willis> also some more basic linux live cd's may help check things out also.. a tiny-core-linux iso would at least let you see what hds are seen. and should work on any setup. (10mb download)
[12:43] <gimpy1380> So no one has seen where VNC will let yu see the desktop but not change it?
[12:43] <_dmk> dr_willis oh u are right no hdds in bios
[12:43] <_dmk> dr_willis checing the cable, to be sure :p
[12:43] <elyawy> i have no sound on ubuntu with my imac is there any fix?
[12:44] <dr_willis> _dmk,  i had a weird case once. where the cable got 'cut' by a sharp edge on  the metal. cut one wire of the ide cable...
[12:44] <dr_willis> took me forver to figure that out.
[12:45] <dr_willis> sata at least seem a lot better designed :)
[12:45] <gimpy1380> dr_willis: IDE?  Sweet, it's 1998 again!
[12:45] <ChaosSaber> dr_willis, I can relate to that, had a fan that ate my cable once
[12:45] <dr_willis> elyawy,  what kind of imac?
[12:45] <dr_willis> ChaosSaber,  yep. been there also...
[12:45] <elyawy> model 9,1
[12:45] <dr_willis> 9.1 means nothing to me for an imac...
[12:45] <dr_willis> ppc? intel?
[12:45] <elyawy> intel
[12:46] <dr_willis> there should be rather exetnsive forum posts on using ubuntu and macs.. you check there yet?
[12:46] <dr_willis> !mac
[12:46] <wsagent> is ubuntu 10.10 a LTS version ?
[12:46] <dr_willis> !lts
[12:46] <elyawy> i have already checked
[12:46] <dr_willis> wsagent,  no. :)
[12:46] <_dmk> dr_willis just plugged out and plugged in the sata and now it works
[12:46] <_dmk> haha
[12:46] <ChaosSaber> dr_willis, when I installed ubuntu some how I wiped my bootloader for win7 lol
[12:46] <dr_willis> _dmk,  hot plugged? :)
[12:46] <_dmk> thanks :p
[12:46] <_dmk> dr_willis no :)
[12:46] <dr_willis> ChaosSaber,  i let ubuntu handle the bootloading..
[12:47] <ChaosSaber> yeah I learnt that the hard way lol
[12:47] <wsagent> Thanks ubottu and dr_willis
[12:47] <ChaosSaber> ended up having to reinstall on both drives
[12:47] <dr_willis> _dmk,  the whole 'sata' hot plugging 'feature' seems  to be somthing that onece people talked about.. but ive never seen actually used.
[12:47] <dr_willis> ChaosSaber,  on 2 hd setups. i keep grub on the linux hd.. and dont let it touch windows.
[12:47] <ChaosSaber> mostly used for esata
[12:47] <elyawy> but the fix is not good
[12:48] <_dmk> dr_willis it will also not work in bios :p
[12:48] <RevSpecies116> elyawy: Did you mean MAC9.1 or Ubuntu 9.10?
[12:48] <dr_willis> esata - i ahve some of those also.. but it never seems to work. -   usb3 seems to be gaining foothold however.. thats good.
[12:48] <elyawy> mac 9,1
[12:48] <PythonSnake> Hi ChaosSaber
[12:48] <PythonSnake> :)
[12:48] <RevSpecies116> 9,1 is not a number :(
[12:48] <RevSpecies116> 9.1?
[12:48] <ChaosSaber> Im still rockin USB2.0 lol
[12:49] <elyawy> yep
[12:49] <dr_willis> ChaosSaber,  i got pcs with usb1 :)
[12:49] <ChaosSaber> PythonSnake, hi
[12:49] <_dmk> ok i am gone :p
[12:49] <_dmk> cheers
[12:49] <cba123> I have a mdadm raid5 on another machine.  When I copy from it with scp, I get a few MB/s, then it stalls, copying to it I have no issues.  Any ideas?
[12:49] <elyawy> the first  2009 20 inch model
[12:49] <ChaosSaber> Im runnin the last of 775 and don't really want to run i7
[12:50] <RevSpecies116> Hmmm, I did not think MacOS9 was Intel based
[12:50] <RevSpecies116> I thought DB Jobs converted to intel with MacOS X
[12:50] <dr_willis> RevSpecies116,  as far as i know . its not...
[12:50] <elyawy> not mac os 9
[12:50] <dr_willis> I dont recall macs having #'s like that either.
[12:50] <RevSpecies116> MacOS X = Mac OS 10 ;)
[12:50] <elyawy> i know that
[12:51] <osos> hi! Ubuntu doesn't recognize my scanner. It's an Epson Stylus DX4400. Device is recognized as a printer.
[12:51] <dr_willis> I finally got rid of my only imacDV :)
[12:51] <Yeti_69> !fr
[12:51] <dr_willis> osos,  is it a scanner/printer combo?
[12:51] <elyawy> in all linux distributions there is no sound on this model
[12:51] <osos> Does anyone know how to tackle this problem.
[12:51] <osos> dr_willis: aye.
[12:51] <RevSpecies116> elyawy: I'm not sure you are explaining the whole situation in a way we can help :(
[12:51] <osos> connected through usb.
[12:51] <RevSpecies116> You are running Ubuntu 9.10 on a Mac computer?
[12:51] <dr_willis> osos,  check the linuxprinting.org site to see what it says about the device. it may need to be manually setup.
[12:52] <osos> dr_willis: cheers, I'll do that.
[12:54] <elyawy> no, i am running ubuntu 11.04 on my imac and the sound is not working , it is an intel imac from 2009 there is a fix on the ubuntu website but the sound is not as strong as it should be .
[12:55] <RevSpecies116> Thanks, elyawy  - That gives us more info to help you with :)
[12:56] <elyawy> i would also like to know if it is possible to push an update into ubuntu to fix that bug once and for all  :)
[12:58] <RevSpecies116> elyawy: If you have a patch you want included in the next Ubuntu release [11.10], then as long as your code's copyright has been signed over to Canonical and it works, it should be included :)
[12:58] <dr_willis> so the fix on the web site is not realy a fix?
[12:58] <dr_willis> but the problem exists on other disrots and linux releases as well?
[12:59] <elyawy> this problem exist on all linux distros i have tried
[12:59] <elyawy> i don't have a patch  :(
[13:00] <gry> !bugs
[13:00] <gry> elyawy: you can file one and submit a patch if you like
[13:00] <gry> elyawy: there's bugs.debian.org as well iirc
[13:00] <dr_willis> or at least post a link to the 'fix' you have found.
[13:01] <dr_willis> but if its affecting other disrots as well.. sounds like an alsa or kernel issue.
[13:01] <elyawy> yep it is alsa actually (i think)
[13:01] <Neohasreturned> Hi all noob here could someone tell me if there is a program that enables you to have a virtual cd drive a bit like daemon tools virtual drive by elby?
[13:02] <dr_willis> Neohasreturned,  you can mount iso files to a directory. no special tools needed
[13:02] <dr_willis> !loop
[13:02] <dr_willis> !iso
[13:02] <dr_willis> theres also a front end to doing that i recall.
[13:02] <tsimpson> Neohasreturned: that's built into linux, you don't need external software like in some other OS's
[13:02] <dr_willis> dont expect disk-based copy protection to work with it however...
[13:02] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, Is there an easy way to do it?
[13:03] <dr_willis> « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> »    is easy..
[13:03] <dr_willis> :)
[13:03] <Neohasreturned> tsimpson, I aint very familiar with terminal
[13:03] <dr_willis> i forget the nautilus extension to add it to the menus..
[13:03] <dr_willis> ive seen it done wher eyou right click on iso, and can mount it.
[13:03] <tsimpson> Neohasreturned: there is gmountiso
[13:03] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, What I'm trying to do is test different distros in vbox without burning the isos
[13:04] <RevSpecies116> Neohasreturned: Do you use the ubuntu Software Center, or Apt-get?
[13:04] <Neohasreturned> gmountiso is that gui based?
[13:04] <elyawy> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac
[13:04] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I use software centre
[13:04] <tsimpson> Neohasreturned: yes, it's a GUI that just runs the commands for you in the background
[13:04] <dr_willis> Neohasreturned,  vbox has that feature built in.. no need to do ANY of this ...
[13:05] <Neohasreturned> tsimpson, Thanks for that
[13:05] <tsimpson> true, you don't mount anything to use ISOs in vbox
[13:05] <dr_willis> NeoBlaster,  you just add the iso to the vbox volume manager thing...    so you are going about this the wrong wauy :)
[13:05] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, I didn't realise it did that
[13:05] <dr_willis> i test all these live cd's in vbox that way
[13:05] <dr_willis> :)
[13:05] <dr_willis> vbox's interface is a little.. odd..
[13:05] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, Easier to use than vmware tho
[13:05] <dr_willis> theres some icon that gets to the  disk manager thing.
[13:05] <dr_willis> I gave up on vmware ages ago.
[13:06] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, I will try it thanks
[13:06] <dr_willis> In vbox. you could use the menus and mount a cd/iso/ also.. then reboot vbox. that can work
[13:07] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, Thanks alot you wouldn't happen to know what is the best program to rip audio cds I have tried some and they rip very low or to WAV
[13:08] <RevSpecies116> Audio CD Extractor, Neohasreturned - will rip to OGG's too :)
[13:08] <dr_willis> Neohasreturned,  most are front ends to the command line tools..  so they can be cofngired to do what you want.
[13:08] <dr_willis> or rip to wav. then convert to whatever.
[13:09] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, OGG's are very low quality though aren't they what I am trying to do is convert to 320kbs MP3 so I can transfer to my ipod
[13:09] <dr_willis> it all depends on the options you tell it to use i imagine.
[13:10] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, I have come across programs that rip cds but only very low mp3 quality
[13:10] <dr_willis> and they proberly have options you can pass to them for  higher quality.
[13:10] <RevSpecies116> Incorrect, Neohasreturned - OGG's are actually very good - 160kbs has been scientifically shown to be the transparency threshhold
[13:10] <dr_willis> I convert mine to mono. :) since im just playing them as ringtones on my phone...
[13:10] <RevSpecies116> And by transparency - I mean up to the point the human ears cannot persever a difference from the original audio
[13:11] <RevSpecies116> But if you are looking for lossless - rip to FLAC
[13:11] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Do Ipods support OGG formats tho?
[13:11] <dr_willis> !ipod
[13:11] <RevSpecies116> Hmmm, Neohasreturned - that is something you could ask Steve Jobs?
[13:12] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, lol I like high quality music on my ipod without as much loss quality as flac lol
[13:12] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I will just text him hang on lol
[13:12] <dr_willis> i do have quiet a few of my cd's ripped to flacc.
[13:12] <RevSpecies116> FLAC is lossless
[13:12] <dr_willis> flac :)
[13:12] <trancegeek> can someone help me with this? http://pastebin.com/RAT2RAvR
[13:13] <RevSpecies116> FLAC has been scientifically been shown to be the exact same as ripping to wav
[13:13] <ashugeek> hey is there any one who can guide me to create a dial up connection in ubuntu
[13:13] <Neohasreturned> But Flac isn't supported on ipod and also converts to high sizes
[13:13] <dr_willis> on my High end $10 pc speakers - i cant tell the differance..
[13:13] <dr_willis> sounds like a flaw with the player if it cant support flac. :)
[13:13] <RevSpecies116> Gosh, doesn't Mr Jobs like the Open Source codecs?
[13:13] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I can see where your coming from because WAV files tend to be large
[13:13] <tsimpson> Neohasreturned: so use rockbox on your ipod :)
[13:14] <tsimpson> !rockbox
[13:14] <dr_willis> trancegeek,  do you have an actual ubuntu question? or did you p[aste the wrong url?
[13:14] <trancegeek> !offtopic | tsimpson
[13:14] <Neohasreturned> tsimpson, It don't support my ipod I have a 5th generation one I use gtkpod to transfer music onto it
[13:14] <tsimpson> trancegeek: no, it's not
[13:14] <jragon> Can someone help me with this: http://pastebin.com/RAT2RAvR
[13:15] <Neohasreturned> trancegeek, I am just getting software support for my ipod it isn't off topic
[13:15] <RevSpecies116> trancegeek = jragon
[13:15] <dr_willis> jragon,   You have an actual support question? or are you just trolling/pasteing the wrong url?
[13:15] <jragon> Nah mate
[13:15] <Revenant____> Can anyone help me? I'm using gnome3. My menus work fine and are themed, but my nm-applet menus are ugly. Why?
[13:15] <wols> !ops please remove trancegeek and his sockpuppet jribas
[13:15] <dr_willis> Revenant____,  because gnome-3 is a work in progress.
[13:15] <trancegeek> sockpuppet lol
[13:15] <trancegeek> look at the whois jackass
[13:15] <dr_willis> Revenant____,  the webupd8 site has some tips on using it.
[13:16] <trancegeek> completely different ip's in different regions that are cable ip's which most likely aren't proxy servers
[13:16] <Revenant____> dr_willis, would you personally be able to help me?
[13:16] <trancegeek> use common sense bro
[13:16] <gry> trancegeek: Keep it civil.
[13:16] <dr_willis> Revenant____,  nope.
[13:16] <dr_willis> Revenant____,  i dont use gnome3. never have.. (other then to look at it)  and its nto really supported under ubuntu yet.
[13:16] <Revenant____> okay then
[13:17] <dr_willis> Revenant____,  as i said. its very much a work in progress.. so issues are not supriseing
[13:17] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, In answer to your audio extracter program it only converts to low format
[13:18] <dr_willis> which audio extracter program?
[13:18] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, When I used to use mint there was a program called preload which would speed up bootup and performance but I can't see it on here is there any other program you can think of?
[13:18] <RevSpecies116> Perhaps you don't have gstreamer installed?
[13:18] <cba123> I have a mdadm raid5, which thinks it has 2 failures.  It says one of the drives has a different superblock than the others, I'd really appreciate any help.  Here's a pastebin of my mdadm --detail http://pastebin.com/wczK41Cu /dev/sde1 is the drive that says it has a bad superblock
[13:19] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, gstreamer?
[13:19] <wols> Neohasreturned: you don't what to do that
[13:19] <solar_> Kello :3
[13:19] <Neohasreturned> wols, How come?
[13:19] <trancegeek> strike!
[13:19] <dr_willis> Neohasreturned,  ive vaguly recall it mentioned befor. but never tried it or worried about it.
[13:19] <solar_> --help
[13:20] <oCean> trancegeek: stay on topic please and stop with the useless messages
[13:20] <wols> oh, was thinking about prelinking. preload is a cache modifying program.
[13:20] <dr_willis> could be preload is allready included.. i seemt o recall seeing some messges about it on boot up.
[13:20] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, it was called preload on mint so I would have thought beens mint was based on ubuntu
[13:20] <wols> !info preload
[13:20] <dr_willis> wols,  that may be it also.
[13:20] <solar_> menu
[13:20] <Neohasreturned> wols, It is called preload
[13:21] <dr_willis> wols,  i recall those things being a big 'deal' a few years back.. everyone was messing with them.. then . now a days - its just stuff people dont bother with
[13:21] <dr_willis> Neohasreturned,  package name is 'preload' it seems...
[13:21] <RevSpecies116> sound-juicer
[13:21] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I tried sound-juicer it weren't very good
[13:21] <wols> dr_willis: stuff like this is just like back then it was with RAM and sex: both are better when they're not faked. in this case: get a SSD if you really must boot in seconds
[13:22] <Neohasreturned> Does anyone recommend installing Fluendo codecs?
[13:23] <honghong> what's this
[13:23] <honghong> leaving
[13:23] <dr_willis> Neohasreturned,  i dont see much point in not installing them.. :)
[13:23] <dr_willis> theres the free versions of them. I always tell it to install during the initial install of the os
[13:23] <dr_willis> honghong,  bye then...
[13:24] <eselle1> hey, im not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is there any way to get 'find' to just return files, not directories
[13:24] <cba123> I hate to be one of the people to keep asking, but can anyone please help me or at least point me to another channel where I can get help?  I have a lot of data on this raid, and don't want to do anyting else to risk losing it.  http://pastebin.com/wczK41Cu
[13:24] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, It appears I did when I installed Ubuntu but I am on software centre and come across and it shows use this source?
[13:25] <wols> eselle1: -type f
[13:25] <honghong> where are you from?
[13:25] <y3ll05Ark> #antisec
[13:25] <dr_willis> Neohasreturned,  no idea. ive never installed it afterwards
[13:25] <eselle1> you are my hero wols
[13:25] <Neohasreturned> it contains gstreamer?
[13:26] <dr_willis> gstreamer is used by many things.. its not a codec i think exactly
[13:26] <RevSpecies116> cba, how many drives failed?
[13:26] <dr_willis> but gstreamer can use those codecs
[13:26] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, What is gstreamer?
[13:26] <RevSpecies116> gstreamer is codecs
[13:27] <solar_> How do i shoot web?
[13:27] <PI_314> where are the system tools in unity, which can be found in gnome in the task bar on top of the screen?
[13:27] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Is that why I couldn't change the conversion setting on sound-juicer?
[13:27] <dr_willis> !gstreamer
[13:27] <RevSpecies116> Possibly, Neohasreturned
[13:27] <honghong> I'am a newer
[13:28] <RevSpecies116> For example, the setting I have with sound-jucier on the mp3 listing is:
[13:28] <gry> solar_: What are you trying to do?
[13:28] <RevSpecies116> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux
[13:28] <RevSpecies116> Now, if I wanted better audio I would change vbr-quality=6 into vbr-quality=7 or vbr-quality=8
[13:29] <Abhijit> solar_, ?? explain?
[13:29] <Abhijit> welcome honghong
[13:29] <solar_> gry: i cannot configure my Canon LBS3000 :<
[13:29] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Does it not just have a drop down box to choose what settings you want?
[13:29] <Abhijit> ahhh wec = web cam
[13:29] <Abhijit> web*
[13:29] <RevSpecies116> Doesn't work like that in Linux, Neohasreturned at all :)
[13:30] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Gonna take me a while to get over my windows brainwashing I think
[13:30] <dr_willis> rip to a lossless format , then reencode as you need to whatever your player wants...
[13:30] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, So how would I configure it to convert to mp3 32okbps
[13:31] <solar_> Abhijit: ... and i'm trying to improve my negotiation skills :)
[13:31] <solar_> oh well
[13:31] <PI_314> does anyone know where the system tools - like network settings, encryption keys and so on - can be found in unity?
[13:31] <RevSpecies116> For that, Neohasreturned, you have to venture into Terminal ;)
[13:31] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, When you say terminal its like watching a scary movie I have no idea how to use that thing
[13:31] <Mion> abcde, rip to flac, then reencode to mp3/acc/whatever as needed
[13:31] <solar_> quit
[13:31] <solar_> exit
[13:32] <solar_> escape
[13:32] <Mion> /quit works better
[13:32] <solar_> run away
[13:32] <RevSpecies116> :) Neohasreturned :)
[13:32] <solar_> thank u
[13:32] <RevSpecies116> Actually, if you are patient AND have a lot of HDD space, I would recommend ripping to WAV with Sound-Juicer
[13:33] <dr_willis> flac and wav should take up same space? or not. Ive never noticed.
[13:33] <D-F3NS> hey folks, how can i easily check if my netbook is running with acpi or not? Im using ubuntu 11.04
[13:33] <RevSpecies116> And then using sound-converter to encode them to 320kbs MP3's
[13:33] <elyawy> so i guess i should go fill a bug report for alsa for my sound problem
[13:33] <tsimpson> dr_willis: no, flac is compressed, just not lossy
[13:33] <RevSpecies116> Just checked, and it allows CBR 320kbs
[13:33] <lotuspsychje> whats the best app for printing labels in natty?
[13:33] <dr_willis> tsimpson,  ok,  i was thinking one was compressed.
[13:33] <RevSpecies116> FLAC = lossless compression
[13:33] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, What allows 320CBR
[13:34] <RevSpecies116> sound converter - a gui
[13:34] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, So would I be better at converting to FLAC then using sound convertor to convert it to mp3 at 320CBR
[13:34] <RevSpecies116> So it is a two step process - rip to Lossless, and convert to 320kbs MP3 :)
[13:35] <RevSpecies116> Yep, exactly, Neohasreturned
[13:35] <dr_willis> what if i want 649kbs ! :)
[13:35] <RevSpecies116> A bit convoluted, but it gets you there in the end
[13:35] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, Then convert to flac lol
[13:35] <dr_willis> what if i want 640000000 kbs ! :)
[13:35] <RevSpecies116> iPods only handle up to 320kbs - I looked it up ;)
[13:35] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Is there a lossless format in sound-juicer?
[13:35] <dr_willis> I want my Kenny G. collection to sound as good as it can.
[13:36] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, They dont they can tolerate apple lossless
[13:36] <shaibn> Hello :) I want to run a find, on all the files that changed in the past 24 hours, but *didn't change* in the past 30min. Is this Ok: find /path/to/directory -type f -cmin +30 -mtime -1
[13:36] <dr_willis> sound-juicer may show/hide options depending on what support tools you have installed.
[13:36] <RevSpecies116> Yep - choose CD Quality lossless (.flac type)
[13:36] <dr_willis> bbl - off to the store.
[13:37] <Neohasreturned> dr_willis, kenny g lol. sound-juicer option how do you mean?
[13:37] <RevSpecies116> In sound juicer, there should be a pull down menu and in that menu should be:
[13:37] <d5418007> hi!
[13:37] <RevSpecies116> CD Quality lossless (.flac type)
[13:37] <Cuzzie_> exit
[13:38] <RevSpecies116> (in preferences)
[13:38] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Yeah I can see that then once that has copied I then use sound converter?
[13:38] <RevSpecies116> Then in sound converter (my version is 1.5.3)
[13:39] <RevSpecies116> edit->preferences
[13:40] <Neohasreturned> Yeah I am in sound converter preferences it allows CBR but don't let you set the size?
[13:40] <RevSpecies116> Then: Format: MP3, Bitrate: Constant CBR, Quality: insainly high
[13:40] <RevSpecies116> Insanely High = 320kbs
[13:41] <shaibn> or maybe this would be better: find /var/lib/psa/dumps/1/1 -type f -cmin -600 -mtime -1
[13:41] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Thanks your a life saver. Just one quick question are you familiar with k3b at all?
[13:41] <RevSpecies116> That is a CD burner?
[13:41] <RevSpecies116> I don't use KDE programmes [loyal to GNOME ;) ]
[13:41] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Yeah for some reason it doesn't allow me to burn audio cds?
[13:42] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I love gnome too but heard k3b is the best program
[13:42] <RevSpecies116> I use Brasero to burn my CD's - seems to do the job I want it to :)
[13:43] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I just thought it was strange why it didn't burn my mp3's lol I have just googled and you can configure sound-juicer to convert mp3 to 320kbps lol
[13:44] <RevSpecies116> Do you have to change something in that long line of text?
[13:44] <RevSpecies116> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux  <--- Change something in this mess to something better?
[13:45] <Neohasreturned> audio/x-raw is starts with
[13:46] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Done it that was easy just copied and pasted it lol
[13:46] <RevSpecies116> LOL - :)
[13:46] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Have you got yours set to 320kbps or would you like me to copy and paste it for you?
[13:47] <RevSpecies116> I have Android - so I use OGG :)
[13:47] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Fair enough was just trying to be helpful back lol
[13:48] <RevSpecies116> LOL - appreciated Neohasreturned :) But payment in return is coming back into this room several times and helping others in need :)
[13:48] <RevSpecies116> You never know, I may need audio help in the future with conversion - and I may have to turn to you Neohasreturned  ;)
[13:49] <D-F3NS> hey folks, how can i check if my netbook is running with acpi and its working properly? (ubuntu 11.04)
[13:49] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I will help if I can but like I say my knowledge lay with windows lol you any good at getting windows games to work?
[13:49] <RevSpecies116> I use windows for my gaming needs ;)
[13:49] <RevSpecies116> LOL - even I haven't come away fully from the teat ;)
[13:50] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I have fully migrated but I have a game I love on windows
[13:50] <RevSpecies116> WineHQ AppDB may help you with that one?
[13:51] <RevSpecies116> http://appdb.winehq.org/ :)
[13:51] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Wine isn't very good tried it before lol
[13:52] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Plus I think this game has directx
[13:53] <lulu> hi
[13:53] <lulu> i just installed natty in my laptop and when i boot i drop to BusyBox with (initramfs) prompt
[13:53] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Apparantly it works with wine?
[13:53] <lulu> i can login if after about 5 min, i type exit
[13:53] <lulu> but how can i fix that?
[13:53] <RevSpecies116> Neohasreturned: They just released an update [as they always do] for WINE - more DX9 stuff integrated :)
[13:54] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Its alot of terminal configuring tho only problem
[13:55] <RevSpecies116> Unfortunately yes :)
[13:55] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I did try playing games in vbox before but for some reason they dont work in it
[13:56] <RevSpecies116> Neohasreturned: to get #D support in vbox, you need to add the 'guests addon'
[13:56] <RevSpecies116> #D = 3D ;)
[13:56] <rofecoxib> to the best of my understanding i need to edit run levels to activate the xserver without a display manager at boot before login. what is the best way to go about this? i see a lot of files in /etc/init.d/ but it's all greek to me

[14:02] <jll> 11.04 is not even at the alfa stage and it has a lot of problems. why release something that's not going to work right? lol
[14:02] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, I didn't like 11.04
[14:02] <RevSpecies116> 11.04 was a testbed for a few things - the kinks will be worked out by April 2012 :)
[14:02] <Neohasreturned> I am using 10.10
[14:03] <arunkumar413> RevSpecies116: its working and i'm able to connect but i have to unplug and plug several times to coonect. some times i have to do it for an hour
[14:04] <pythonirc1012> when i ssh to my machine at work using ssh, the pine terminal is one line shifted up...any ideas how to fix this? I tried set TERM=vt100... didnt work
[14:04] <RevSpecies116> arunkumar413: that is not my idea of working 'out of the box' - I'd be pulling my hair out if I was you :( I am sorry, though, I don't know how to help with that particular issue
[14:04] <pythonirc1012> ok, setenv fixed it, thanks
[14:05] <Neohasreturned> RevSpecies116, Can you tell me whether on your sound juicer where it has settings it has Identify first?
[14:05] <arunkumar413> RevSpecies116: can you figure out the cause by looking at the syslog?
[14:06] <RevSpecies116> arunkumar413: I took a look at the log on pastebin you posted - I can't interpret the issue :(
[14:06] <RevSpecies116> Neohasreturned: Identified? you mean out of the box? I think I have about 7 options
[14:07] <RevSpecies116> With two of those option being useless for me - voice lossy and voice lossless
[14:07] <Neohasreturned> where it says gstreamer pipeline
[14:08] <RevSpecies116> ohhh, Neohasreturned mine doesn't say anything abou the gstreamer pipeline [that I can see], do I need to dig deeper?
[14:09] <RevSpecies116> Oh, I see it now :)
[14:09] <RevSpecies116> The gstreamer pipeline is that stuff:
[14:09] <Neohasreturned> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mu
[14:09] <RevSpecies116> audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6 ! id3v2mux  <--- Change something in this mess to something better?
[14:09] <Neohasreturned> does it say anything before audio/x?
