[07:15] <RameEz> im living it and i gonna try desktop effects
[07:15] <iiicyg> Ryan__, format second to fat.
[07:15] <syrinx_> there you go
[07:15] <Jordan_U> RameEz: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[07:15] <Ryan__> iiicyg and then try again?
[07:15] <syrinx_> your going to lose everything though, I believe
[07:16] <Ryan__> iiicyg wait. the second partition has data i need..
[07:16] <Jordan_U> Ryan__: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[07:16] <iiicyg> Format first to fat.
[07:16] <syrinx_> Ryan__: make a new partition, and leave it unformated
[07:16] <syrinx_> iiicyg: 1st partition has Windows on it
[07:16] <Ryan__> Jordan_U I'm not on linux b/c i didn't install it yet
 Ryan__: make a new partition, and leave it unformated
[07:17] <Jordan_U> Ryan__: Please boot from the LiveCD, run "sudo parted -l" and pastebin the output.
[07:17] <Ryan__> iiicyg a new partition from the unallocated space?
[07:17] <syrinx_> Jordan_U: that's exremely unnecessary
[07:17] <syrinx_> Ryan__: yes
[07:17] <iiicyg> Ryan__, yes.
[07:17] <Jordan_U> syrinx_: Why do you say that?
[07:18] <iiicyg> Jordan_U, because.
[07:18] <Ryan__> syrinx_, iiicyg : and leave it unformatted? i'm not sure if i can do that in win7, but i'll try
[07:18] <syrinx_> Ryan__: yes, it will be a RAW partition
[07:18] <gua> anyone know about a thing like "su" where you can give it a uid instead of a username?
[07:18] <Ryan__> syrinx_, iiicyg : actually i can. "Do not format this volume" is an option
[07:18] <syrinx_> if not Ryan__ format to FAT
[07:18] <iiicyg> Ryan__, ou, cool.
[07:19] <Ryan__> syrinx_, iiicyg okay so i now have a third partition where free space used to be, and it's a "RAW" partition
[07:19] <tanath> gua sudo -u username
[07:19] <Ryan__> syrinx_, iiicyg should i try again?
[07:19] <syrinx_> yea
[07:19] <tanath> gua: see 'man sudo'
[07:19] <Ryan__> syrinx_, iiicyg ** try installing ubuntu again?
[07:19] <iiicyg> Ryan__, sure.
[07:19] <mango> hi room
[07:19] <Ryan__> syrinx_, iiicyg mkay. thanks a lot guys! i'll come back here if i run into problems.
[07:19] <Jordan_U> Ryan__: The main cause of the Ubuntu installer listing a drive as unpartitioned is an invalid partition table. If you do have an invalid partition table then that needs to be fixed before you do any other partitioning of the disk to prevent data loss. "sudo parted -l" will tell you if you have an invalid partition table and what exactly the problem is, like overlapping partitions.
[07:19] <gua> tanath: ohh hey. awesome! thanks. i should have looked there, i just assumed
[07:19] <iiicyg> Ryan__, welcome :-)
[07:20] <tanath> gua, mhm. works with username or uid
[07:20] <Ryan__> Jordan_U, since i'm now going to start installing, if this didn't fix the problem i'll go ahead and do a sudo parted -l and pastebin the output here. :)
[07:20] <syrinx_> Ryan__: come back when your on Ubuntu
[07:20] <Ryan__> syrinx_, iiicyg, Jordan_U: i'll be back when i'm on ubuntu. :) brb!
[07:20] <syrinx_> irssi is a nice client
[07:20] <mango> how to start????????????/
[07:21] <mango> heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[07:21] <mango> how to start here??
[07:21] <iiicyg> Start with reading topic.
[07:21] <syrinx_> !enter | mango
[07:21] <mango> where are topics??
[07:22] <iiicyg> Usually, topic... On top :-)
[07:22] <joshmclvl1> mango: if you see something you can help with, just jump in! if you need help with something, just ask!
[07:22] <overclucker> !topic | mango
[07:23] <mango> ok. Thank you so much. I'll come back again when I learn all these.
[07:24] <mango> But in my IRC is just displayed the name of the rooms where i can connect.
[07:24] <mango> I din't get any topic. :(
[07:24] <bartj> can I just upgrade my Ubuntu from 9.04 to 10.10 using the install CD
[07:24] <bartj> without corrupting my existing install ?
[07:25] <bartj> or will something get over-ridden ?
[07:25] <ryan__> iiicyg, syrinx_: hey guys. :( still shows up as free space.
[07:25] <jrtayloriv> I've got a window that I can't kill, and the parent process is already dead. How can I make it go away.
[07:25] <ryan__> iiicyg syrinx_: i'm on ubuntu now though.
[07:25] <syrinx_> ryan__: no try parted
[07:25] <syrinx_> now*
[07:26] <iiicyg> ryan__, and what about fdisk -l ?
[07:26] <ryan__> syrinx_ iiicyg Jordan_U: sudo parted -l right? i'll do the fdisk command as well.
[07:26] <syrinx_> bartj: you could just upgrade from Ubuntu, much easier
[07:26] <jrtayloriv> nm -- just figured it out :)
[07:26] <Jordan_U> ryan__: Yes, "sudo parted -l".
[07:26] <bartj> syrinx_, trouble is it says I don't have enough space on my / partition
[07:27] <bartj> syrinx_, I am terribly frustrated by that warning and have scoured the web on ways to increase my / partiton but to no avail
[07:27] <bartj> thankfully my /home is on a diff partition
[07:27] <arand> bartj: Upgrading using the alternate CD will work similar to an online upgrade as far as I know.
[07:27] <cosmo> how do I make sure that the opengl 32bit compatability drivers are installed?
[07:27] <iiicyg> bartj, increase it with gparted O_o
[07:27] <ryan__> syrinx_ iiicyg Jordan_U hrmm... gparted throws a warning before i get the output. http://pastebin.com/7DRZQSHk
[07:28] <mobius2> greetings :]
[07:28] <ryan__> syrinx_ iiicyg Jordan_U how should i proceed?
[07:28] <iiicyg> ryan__, what about fdisk -l ?
[07:28] <mobius2> is there a channel for sound problems?
[07:28] <ryan__> iiicyg: about to do the fdisk cmd right now
[07:29] <syrinx_> ryan__: looks like the partition table is messed up
[07:29] <Jordan_U> ryan__: Those GPT signatures are the reason why the installer was showing the drive as unpartitioned (ideally it should have passed along the error message you're now getting, but it doesn't).
[07:29] <iiicyg> ryan__, yes.
[07:29]  * mobius2 attempts to use a usb microphone in ubuntu ,  much to his dismay :P
[07:30] <Jordan_U> ryan__: Run "sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdisk" Then run "sudo gdisk /dev/sda" and pastebin the output.
[07:30] <ryan__> Jordan_U syrinx_ iiicyg: http://pastebin.com/vbc49T8t
[07:32] <syrinx_> ryan__: so, theres no way to format that partition you made?
[07:32] <ryan__> syrinx_: if i boot back into windows, yeah i can format it fat32 or ntfs
[07:32] <ryan__> Jordan_U: the firs tcommand is running right now
[07:32] <syrinx_> may as well try that
[07:33] <kurumin> everyone brazilian
[07:33] <ryan__> syrinx_: alright, let me try this gdisk thing first and then i'll switch os's again
[07:33] <kurumin> everyone brazilian?
[07:33] <syrinx_> kurumin: #ubuntu-br
[07:33] <kurumin> thanks
[07:33] <iiicyg> kk
[07:33] <Jordan_U> syrinx_: The problem is that he has GPT signatures but no valid GPT label. gdisk is a utility which can remove the GPT signatures so that the installer will read the partition table without error.
[07:34] <iiicyg> Ou.
[07:34] <ryan__> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/RckUCNRv
[07:34] <iiicyg> Cool, it's... cognitive.
[07:34] <pretender> can someone tell me is there an app that will retrieve the DVD Covers for TV Series
[07:35] <Jordan_U> ryan__: Anser "1" and pastebin any new output.
[07:35] <Jordan_U> *answer
[07:35] <ryan__> Jordan_U: 10-4.
[07:36] <ryan__> Jordan_U: all it says is "Command (? for help):
[07:36] <syrinx_> pretender: make your own
[07:36] <tripelb> please - where is the option to change the size of the default desktop icon. I want it to be smaller. . overall. I know how to change them one at a time.  thanks.
[07:37] <Jordan_U> ryan__: Try typing "w" then run "sudo parted -l" again. If you get no error from "sudo parted -l" then the installer should be able to work with the drive now.
[07:38] <iiicyg> Jordan_U, but he do nothing. Only open MBR to manipulate it O_o
[07:39] <ryan__> Jordan_U: bah. shortly afterp osting the output of the gdisk command, ubuntu went unresponsive on me
[07:39] <ryan__> Jordan_U: back on ubuntu, but i probably have to re-install gdisk
[07:39] <Jordan_U> iiicyg: I'm hoping that gdisk will remove the gpt signatures since he said to treat it as mbr. I'm not sure that it will but I can't remember how to do it and I can't get the menu myself as I don't have a disk in this situation to test with :(
[07:41] <ryan__> Jordan_U: i don't remember what the commmand was. can i just run 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdisk'?
[07:41] <iiicyg> That is why we need "? for help" output.
[07:41] <fairuz> Hi, I get this error when I try to log in to my Ubuntu. Install Problem. Gnome POwer Manager has not been installed correctly.

[07:41] <fairuz> it just happened yesterday, before that Ubuntu works well
[07:41] <Jordan_U> ryan__: Run "sudo software-properties-gtk -e universe; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install gdisk"
[07:42] <Jordan_U> ryan__: Yes, that would be helpful.
[07:42] <ryan__> Jordan_U: thanks. I'm installing gdisk at the moment, i'll pastebin the output asap
[07:43] <fairuz> I tried to reinstall gnome-power-manager with purge but no luck
[07:43] <fairuz> any idea on this? thanks
[07:43] <ryan__> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/ixAXj6x6
[07:44] <iiicyg> fairuz, sudo apt-get install -reinstall gnome-power-manager ?
[07:44] <Jordan_U> ryan__: I just found a good guide for exactly your problem: http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/wipegpt.html
[07:44] <fairuz> iiicyg: I tried sudo apt-get --purge remove gnome-power-manager . then sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager
[07:45] <fairuz> iiicyg: I will try your command now
[07:45] <ryan__> Jordan_U: thanks. i'll try following this guide.
[07:45] <Jordan_U> ryan__: You're welcome.
[07:49] <ryan__> Jordan_U: do i want to "convert the MBR to GPT form, use the GPT data, or create a blank GPT"?
[07:50] <ryan__> Jordan_U: never mind i think i figured it out
[07:50] <Jordan_U> ryan__: You don't want to do any of those things.
[07:51] <fairuz> iiicyg: you sure about your command? it dont recognize the -reinstall on my ubuntu
[07:51] <ryan__> Jordan_U: hrm. in the guide, it tells me that "If you want to keep the MBR and wipe the GPT ..." is this what i want to do?
[07:51] <iiicyg> fairuz, --reinstall
[07:51] <fairuz> same
[07:52] <iiicyg> double -
[07:52] <iiicyg> er
[07:52] <fairuz> iiicyg: ok ty
[07:52] <fairuz> iiicyg: i try that
[07:52] <Jordan_U> ryan__: Yes.
[07:52] <ryan__> Jordan_U: okay. hold on ...
[07:53] <ryan__> Jordan_U: okay, i've made the changes
[07:53] <iiicyg> sudo apt-get --reinstall install name
[07:54] <iiicyg> Sorry.
[07:54] <ryan__> Jordan_U: i'll try again
[07:58] <zimsim> How do I set a different locale for my ubuntu server terminal. Currently `locale` cmd will output "POSIX", but I want to change this to "UTF-8"
[08:06] <fairuz> iiicyg: it works.. thanks a lot.. but how come uninstall with purge and installing it back is not the same as install --reinstall?
[08:06] <fairuz> oh he leaves

[08:47] <coderr> good morning. i have just uninstalled the amd radeon video driver and installed xserver-xorg-video-ati/xserver-xorg-video-radeon, now when X starts (gdm), there's only some messy artefact where the mouse cursor is, the rest of the screen is totally black. i tried both with and without KMS, no change. i pasted my dmesg log which reports some errors, but i don't quite get it: http://paste2.org/p/130
[08:47] <coderr> 3620. has anyone maybe experienced such problems with the radeon driver before? my card is a radeon hd 4650 btw. (mobility version)

[08:56] <Akshay> bacon_:currently working on 1024x768
[08:56] <Akshay> bacon_:My xorg.conf is empty
[08:56] <bacon_> ryan__: isn't there some kind of crossfire application to install on buntu?
[08:56] <macsim> hi, I'm unable to play youtube video in fullscreen mode, I use flash <IP_ADDRESS> on ubuntu 10.10, I googlize and read a trick with /etc/adobe/mms.cfg, I did but but it doens't fix fullscreen mode, any idea ? thanks
[08:56] <ryan__> bacon_: well i installed the nvidia driver through gnome's 'restricted drivers' thing, which makes me think that i should have the necessary drivers. I mean, the first card works so the second card should too, right? :P
[08:57] <bacon_> Akshay: maybe in another xorg conf file than xorg.conf?
[08:57] <ryan__> bacon_: crossfire application? i'm not sure what you're talking about :x
[08:58] <Akshay> bacon_:can you refer any guide to editing Xorg.conf, new to ubuntu
[08:58] <jarnos> bacon_, it doesn't terminate synaptic, but now update notifier is grey.
[09:00] <leaveboy> ?
[09:00] <leaveboy> quiet
[09:00] <zzaza> hi all
[09:01] <leaveboy> oh

[09:02] <bullgard> After Maverick coldstarts it writes to the virtual console 1 : "System information as of Sat Mar 12 15:51:57 CET 2011. System load, Temperature, Usage of /home, Processes, Memory Usage, Users logged in, Swap usage, IP address for eth0. -- What program prints this information?

[09:02] <cosmo> in 10.10 how do I kill the x server to install the latests nvidia driver
[09:03] <hateball> cosmo: service gdm stop, but remember that installing drivers on your own may break things...
[09:03] <leaveboy> cosmo: you must not kill X when you install nvidia
[09:03] <Akshay> Ho do i change screen resolution, my xorg.conf is empty
[09:04] <Akshay> Using intel 82865G
[09:04] <phonex01> go to your home foler and open Xorg-conf file you will find that parameter there
[09:04] <phonex01> X and Y reolution
[09:04] <hateball> Akshay: Isnt the tool in System -> Settings -> Screens working?
[09:04] <Akshay> hateball:no
[09:04] <cosmo> when I try to install it it tells me I have to kill x
[09:04] <Akshay> My xorg.conf is empty
[09:04] <zzaza> I have many music file of format .wma which i want to convert in mp3 what program can i use
[09:06] <nickmoeck> Is there a way to encrypt my entire hard drive, and store the encryption key on an SD card, only allowing the computer to even boot if the SD card is in the slot?
[09:06] <cosmo> installing the new driver on my own seems to be the only way it will install the 260 driver rather than 175
[09:07] <leaveboy> zzaza: mplayer
[09:07] <zzaza> leaveboy, i will try it
[09:09] <fisch246> how do you upgrade to a newer version of ubuntu with synaptic? if it's possible of course
[09:10] <hateball> fisch246: You would use update-manager, not synaptic
[09:10] <fisch246> hateball: i'm aware of that...
[09:10] <alesan> hi I am trying to use pitivi
[09:10] <zee313> hi i was using readon player to see tv shows and documentaries. Is there such kind of player in ubuntu?
[09:10] <Ben65> fisch246: from which version to which version
[09:11] <alesan> but which input format are supported? I cannot get a single video file to be imported
[09:11] <Guest88405> hey, does jolli os have a channel?
[09:11] <Jordan_U> fisch246: You can't.
[09:11] <fisch246> i'm on lubuntu so... if it's possible from there... but i'm trying to go from 10.04 to 10.10...
[09:11] <fisch246> Jordan_U: ah ok i'll just get update manager then
[09:11] <fisch246> i know how to do it, since i'm also currently creating my own distro haha
[09:12] <Jordan_U> alesan: Pitivi uses gstreamer, so anything you have a gstreamer plugin for will be supported.
[09:12] <fisch246> thanks everyone
[09:12] <alesan> Jordan_U, I use kubuntu, do you think I need to install gstreamer?
[09:12] <Jordan_U> alesan: If you open a video in Totem ("Movie Player") and you don't have the needed gstreamer plugin it will be installed automatically.
[09:12] <hateball> fisch246: it's possible update-manager is set to only check for LTS releases
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> fisch246: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades
[09:13] <fisch246> o i don't have update manager right now
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> fisch246: use the command line way, much easier
[09:13] <fisch246> mmk
[09:13] <fisch246> yea indeed
[09:14] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | fisch246
[09:14] <fisch246> i was building gnome, and it was much easier to do it with a command line :/
[09:14] <alesan> Jordan_U, apparently there is no "totem" in KDE. I will try to use "Kino"
[09:14] <zzaza> leaveboy: i want to convert the .wma files to mp3
[09:14] <fisch246> i know how to upgrade -__- i just wanted to know if you could do it with synaptic...
[09:15] <Jordan_U> alesan: I don't think that Kino uses gstreamer, so you'll just have to install the correct gstreamer plugins yourself.
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> alesan:: you can install totem in kde if you want
[09:15] <avinashhm> Hi, how to scan for available wireless n/ws .. i am looking for command line .. For wired n/w , i do with 'dhclient eth0' .. tried 'dhclient eth1' , doens't work .. any help
[09:15] <llutz_> zzaza: use mplayer +lame, see forums for a howto
[09:15] <alesan> Jordan_U, I will use kino so I won't have to install gstreamer
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> fisch246: not sure but I know the CLI version will work in any DE
[09:15] <llutz_> avinashhm: iwlist s
[09:15] <alesan> ActionParsnip, well I'd rather not
[09:15] <Jordan_U> alesan: If you have PiTiVi installed you already have gstreamer, just not all of the gstreamer plugins.
[09:16] <avinashhm> llutz, i am getting 'interface doesn't support scanning' for all lo, eth0, eth1
[09:16] <llutz_> avinashhm: then your wifi-device is down or not available at all
[09:16] <alesan> Jordan_U, so without totem it's impossible to load new plugins for gstreamer?
[09:16] <bullgard> After Maverick coldstarts it writes to the virtual console 1 : "System information as of Sat Mar 12 15:51:57 CET 2011. System load, Temperature, Usage of /home, Processes, Memory Usage, Users logged in, Swap usage, IP address for eth0. -- What program prints this information?
[09:16] <Huck> the file sizes are different  between  waves dragged from a disc, and thoes extracted for mp3 any ideas why, or which i s better fedility ?
[09:17] <leaveboy> zzaza: http://paste.ubuntu.org.cn/82947
[09:17] <avinashhm> llutz, wait i ll check ..
[09:17] <llutz_> avinashhm: does "iwconfig" list a wifi-device?
[09:17] <Jordan_U> alesan: I just said that you can install the packages yourself. Use the package manager and search for "gstreamer plugins".
[09:17] <alesan> thanks
[09:17] <Jordan_U> alesan: You're welcome.
[09:18] <daun07> .
[09:19] <avinashhm> llutz, strange .. it lists .. 'IEEE 802.11  Access Point: Not-Associated' .. but the LED isn't blowing ;-( in my laptop ..
[09:19] <avinashhm> the wifi led
[09:21] <llutz_> avinashhm: rfkill list wifi
[09:21] <avinashhm> Here is the iwconfig and ifconfig o/ps .. 'http://paste.ubuntu.com/580488/'
[09:23] <llutz_> avinashhm: sry cant check, no www available yet
[09:23] <Beacher> hi,all.

[09:24] <yeertai> hi.
[09:24] <Beacher> excuse me . Why vsftp cannot change directory?
[09:25] <hefish> maybe permission
[09:25] <Beacher> permission : 777 /me
[09:26] <Beacher> chroot_local_enable=NO
[09:26] <Beacher> Why?
[09:26] <avinashhm> llutz, tried 'rfkill list wifi' .. even after this both the still eth1 listed ..
[09:26] <Abhijit> help. what is the package name for qt-dev. which one to install?
[09:26] <Abhijit> there are lots of them
[09:26] <WillWill56> If anyone's interested in hearing my epic fail, I used an undefined variable in a very important loop in a php script, my error log grew to 420 MB quite quickly...
[09:28]  * Beacher jumps
[09:28] <llutz_> avinashhm: did rfkill show the device blocked?
[09:29] <WillWill56> Anyway... I sorta just wasted a few seconds of your life :P. Seeya!!!
[09:29] <waterboy0911> hello guys.. may I know when will be the new release for ubuntu 11.04
[09:29] <avinashhm> llutz, nope .. it never threw any o/p ..
[09:29] <n2i> Hi! May I ask some question about parcellite (clipboard manager)?
[09:31] <waterboy0911> hey guys I have a question.. I am currently using ubuntu 10.04 then I am experiencing every time I copy files and transferring to my thumb drive.. it's taking too long..
[09:32] <n2i> I cannot clear lipboard in parceellite. What is this problem?
[09:34] <Huck> wave files dragged to the drive a re much  larger than when ripped as waves via sound juicer  , are they compressed ?
[09:35] <Huck> If no one has and answer  to mu question, might you direct me in a good direction ?
[09:38] <juk> Huck: `file` can detect some extensions
[09:38] <DystaN> where are the mame executables ??? Ubuntu 10.10  , where are them how do I find their path ?
[09:39] <ActionParsnip> n2i: if you right click the app in the panel and select preferences / settings   you can set the shortcut
[09:39] <dios_mio> DystaN, to find the location of any executable in your PATH, type: which <name>
[09:39] <coderr> hi again. i switched back to fglrx (proprietary amd/ati video driver) and it works flawlessly, even when using blender - but only as long as composition in my window manager (xfce 4.8) is disabled. when i enable it, what is strange is that glxgears (fgl_glxgears) still works without a problem, but as soon as i start blender, the screen turns all black and if i'm lucky i can exit blender...
[09:39] <coderr> ...blindfolded.
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> DystaN: you can use the  which   command to find which command the file runs
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> DystaN: for example:   which nano
[09:40] <Cosmo> so I stopped x so I could install the newest nvidia drivers using initctl stop gdm now how do I start gdm back up?
[09:40] <ActionParsnip> Cosmo: nvidia drivers are packaged in the repos
[09:41] <ActionParsnip> Cosmo: you could just reboot..
[09:41] <coderr> Cosmo: sudo start gdm ?
[09:41] <n2i> ActionParsnip: When I lelf click and select "Clear". It does nothing. Is there any problem here?
[09:41] <Cosmo> not the newest ones aparently that have the 32 bit open gl drivers for my 64 bit install
[09:41] <ylmfos> nihao a
[09:42] <ylmfos> wo shi xinshou
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> Cosmo: what version are you installing?
[09:42] <n2i> 你好！ :P
[09:42] <Cosmo> when I reboot it goes to just the text interface
[09:42] <Cosmo> 260
[09:42] <ylmfos> yulinmufengli de yigebanben
[09:42] <ActionParsnip> !info nvidia-current | Cosmo
[09:43] <ActionParsnip> Cosmo: you may need to run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig
[09:43] <ylmfos> where are you from?
[09:43] <ylmfos> not china
[09:43] <Cosmo> ActionParsnip, ok I will try that
[09:43] <rwat> does something special happen during install for a cloud server or can I convert a running server to cloud?
[09:44] <ylmfos> this place ,i don't know
[09:45] <zvacet> ylmfos: do you have any question to ask about ubuntu problems or support
[09:45] <coderr> anyone knows about fglrx+composition in window manager?
[09:45] <luckymurali> Hi all
[09:45] <juk> coderr: #fglrx ?
[09:46] <jordan3456> hello
[09:46] <coderr> juk: the channel is empty
[09:46] <Caribou> Hello,
[09:47] <jordan3456> is someone here skilled with flash issues?
[09:47] <luckymurali> I installed ubuntu server 10.04 64 bit and there is no desktop on it
[09:47] <luckymurali> i want to install desktop on that machine but there is no internet
[09:48] <llutz_> luckymurali: thats why its called server
[09:48] <luckymurali> llutz_,:)
[09:48] <luckymurali> llutz_, :)
[09:48] <Caribou> why not installing desktop then ?
[09:48] <zvacet> luckymurali:server comes without desktop
[09:48] <maf> sad no GUI interface for the server
[09:48] <maf> I mean, imagine giving the big planes no window for the pilots
[09:49] <maf> any web interface to the server ?
[09:49] <luckymurali> yes i know that we have option to install desktop on the server by sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[09:49] <maf> or did someone wnat to intentionally go back to 1982 interfaces
[09:49] <juk> coderr: did you try radeon?
[09:49] <Caribou> maybe those queries should go to #ubuntu-server
[09:49] <Cosmo> I tried sudo nvidia-xconfig and rebooted and it is still giving me the text interface
[09:49] <Caribou> in the meantime, I'm having an issue with nm-applet no longer starting automatically upon login
[09:49] <luckymurali> ok thnx
[09:49] <llutz_> maf: configuring a server is much faster and easier done by cli in most cases
[09:50] <beer_brouwer> can anyone tell me how i can get my exchange calendar entries with SOAP and PHP?
[09:50] <Caribou> my only option is to start nm-applet manually which works fine
[09:51] <juk> !info nvidia-xconfig
[09:51] <Caribou> but looks like the Gnome startup sequence no longer does it
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> Caribou: ad it in your startup items then...
[09:51] <Caribou> it's there & checked
[09:51] <ActionParsnip> Caribou: make a script to wait a little while (use the sleep command) then run it
[09:52] <bullgard> After Maverick coldstarts it writes to the virtual console 1 : "System information as of Sat Mar 12 15:51:57 CET 2011. System load, Temperature, Usage of /home, Processes, Memory Usage, Users logged in, Swap usage, IP address for eth0. -- What program prints this information?
[09:52] <juk> Cosmo: can you see: lsmod | grep nvidia output
[09:53] <jordan3456> on no, not the perennial video card problems
[09:53] <Caribou> ActionParsnip, I'm not after a workaround. This worked fine until yesterday. I'm after someone who knows the startup sequence well enough to know how nm-applet gets started
[09:53] <blackdoggy> is anybody here having problems on 10.10 dual monitor with nvidia?
[09:53] <Huck> wave files dragged from a cd to a file are much larger than those extracted as waves via sound juicer.... does juicer compress waave iles
[09:54] <coderr> juk: i tried xserver-xorg-video-ati/xserver-xorg-ati-radeon, yes. they give errors and whenever X (gdm) starts, the screen turns black, that's why i switched back to fglrx. i pasted the error messages earlier, don't have the link anymore :(
[09:54] <juk> !details | blackdoggy
[09:54] <jordan3456> blackdoggy: run xrandr first to see if everything squared away with the monitors.  If you don't have it in your system, apt-get it.
[09:54] <jordan3456> also apt-get arandr
[09:54] <Cosmo> juk, I will check
[09:54] <jordan3456> that will generate the start up scripts for you
[09:54] <blackdoggy> thx jordan3456 i will see what happrns  after that
[09:55] <beer_brouwer> has someone here got some experience with SOAP?
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> Caribou: thatsall I can sugest, I use wicd personally as it also has a cli interface :)
[09:55] <jordan3456> often the extra drivers aren't needed (fglrx, ati, raedon), especially for the older cards.  Many times it's just a matter of inserting the xrandr parameters into a configuration file
[09:56] <jordan3456> btw I don't use gnome anymore, but the scenery is the same
[09:56] <jordan3456> only the names and faces change
[09:56] <luckymurali> where can i download ubuntu desktop package ??
[09:56] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: nmcli :)
[09:56] <juk> coderr: that's sucks
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: i guess :), old habit
[09:57] <micro__> всем привет!
[09:57] <blackdoggy> jordan3456 i tried apt-get but it says Package xrandr is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:57] <blackdoggy> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[09:57] <blackdoggy> is only available from another source
[09:57] <blackdoggy> However the following packages replace it:
[09:57] <blackdoggy>   x11-xserver-utils
[09:57] <FloodBot1> blackdoggy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:57] <zvacet> luckymurali: you said that you dont have internet ask somebody live Ubuntu cd and install it from there
[09:57] <juk> coderr: nvidia caused me a lot pain too some time ago
[09:57] <Cosmo> juk, it said nvidia    8097831   0
[09:57] <luckymurali> zvacet, can i do on the top of server??
[09:58] <StamEhad> Hi!I'm trying to boot an ole PIII laptop with the Lubuntu 10.10 liveCD but it hangs in the screen with the ubuntu 10.10 and 4 dots.
[09:58] <zvacet> luckymurali:  yes
[09:58] <jordan3456> blackdoggy: just keep chaining the dependencies into apt-get commands until you fulfill all the dependencies.
[09:58] <coderr> juk: yes, it sucks ...
[09:58] <zvacet> luckymurali: install just ubuntu -desktop package
[09:58] <jordan3456> in fact, it might be better to try and install xrandr and arandr together, find the missing dependencies, and then plop them in, with the recommends, at once.
[09:58] <coderr> guess i'll have to live without compositing then, but it just makes me feel SO stupid ...
[09:59] <blackdoggy> jordan 3456 i did x11-xserver-utils and it says its already the newest version
[09:59] <luckymurali> zvacet, any procedures on the net ??
[09:59] <jordan3456> yeah don't redo x11
[09:59] <zvacet> luckymurali:  what do you mean?
[09:59] <jordan3456> I mean, don't remove and then retry to install it
[10:00] <blackdoggy> aint doing that
[10:00] <luckymurali> i mean step by step for just installing desktop
[10:00] <zvacet> luckymurali:  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:01] <jordan3456> black doggy: try running apt-get -y check xrandr
[10:01] <jordan3456> see what's broken
[10:01] <jordan3456> I don't know if the -y switch works, but I'm a fan
[10:01] <jordan3456> that will get you in trouble ;-)
[10:01] <juk> Cosmo: do you get Xserver errors?
[10:02] <Cosmo> I dont think the driver is causing the issue I just dont know the command to start the gdm back up after using initctl stop gdm
[10:02] <juk> !info Xorg
[10:02] <Cosmo> juk, nope no errors
[10:03] <Caribou> luckymurali: using 'tasksel --task-packages ubuntu-desktop will list all the packages that are needed. You can then download them & put them on a USB thumbdrive
[10:03] <zvacet> luckymurali:  you can read http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-gui-in-ubuntu-server.html
[10:03] <barbadillo> hi all, how can i customize the "open with" menu in nautilus?
[10:03] <coderr> [drm:radeon_cs_ioctl] *ERROR* Faild to schedule IB !

[10:03] <coderr> that same message was what i got from xserver-xorg-radeon, infinite loop with the numbers IB(X) going from 0 to 15, over and over again
[10:03] <luckymurali> zvacet, thanks, and one more question usually if we download any package using apt where it will keep a backup of that softwares??
[10:04] <blackdoggy> jordan3456 no luck
[10:04] <jordan3456> oh gosh
[10:04] <blackdoggy> should i just switch to kde
[10:04] <jordan3456> no broken dependencies?

[10:04] <zvacet> luckymurali:  all packageas installed eith apt-get or aptitude are in /vat/cache/apt/archives
[10:04] <jordan3456> I use xubuntu on even my newest machines
[10:05] <jordan3456> it's not just for slow computers anyomre

[10:11] <deuterium> hm on my 10.10 desktop box, computer janitor doesn't show anything at alll. does it takes several minutes to gather information or is sth fscked up?
[10:11] <barbadillo> blackdoggy, it is not in the repositories
[10:11] <blackdoggy> yeah barbadillo www.ubuntu-tweak.com
[10:11] <blackdoggy> let me check
[10:11] <deuterium> i.e. there's no refresh, just a white, two-pane when i start computer-janitor
[10:11] <elFidel> navin: cheese - might be one app
[10:11] <luckymurali> i let you know after it loaded completely
[10:12] <deuterium> do i need to run computer-janitor as root or so for it to show sth?
[10:12] <zvacet> luckymurali:  just a sec
[10:13] <blackdoggy> yeah barbadillo follow this http://www.beakkon.com/geek/10-best-applications-for-ubuntu-10.10

[10:16] <barbadillo> aerofly5, check the bios settings to see if you can boot from cdrom
[10:16] <llutz_> aerofly5: boot live-cd and reinstall grub into mbr
[10:16] <zvacet> luck
[10:17] <aerofly5> barbadillo & llutz: I have tried re-installing grub, but it has no effect. The bios is correctly configured
[10:17] <blackdoggy> aight  m off going to install Xubuntu desktop
[10:17] <stimpie> is it possible to have an application run on 2 workspaces? (not all?)

[10:23] <deuterium> it's a dbus error, but how to solve it? is computer-janitor b0rked?
[10:23] <juk> !info pastebinit | Cosmo
[10:23] <luckymurali> zvacet, it is telling already i have latest version of desktop
[10:23] <mena> welcom
[10:24] <mena> My name is Mena, i need your hekp
[10:24] <mena> help
[10:24] <AnubArack> mena, just ask
[10:24] <sabbut> Hi, I have a connection problem on my other computer
[10:24] <deuterium> juk: is there any other way how i can clean-up my ubu 10.10, if computer-janitor is broken (it obviously is)?
[10:24] <sabbut> it seems not to be able to connect
[10:24] <mena> i want to view log file which see who connect to my machine
[10:24] <juk> deuterium: gee, i dunno
[10:25] <bullgard> sabbut: Hi, I have no connection problem on my other computer.
[10:25] <AnubArack> deuterium, ever tried removing janitor and reinstalling it ?
[10:25] <mena> who connect with VNC
[10:25] <mena> ?
[10:25] <deuterium> AnubArack: not yet, let me check.
[10:25] <zvacet> luckymurali:  type in terminal startx too see if that is truth
[10:25] <llutz_> mena: as you've been told yesterday, there is no such logfile
[10:26] <sabbut> nice bullgard, it seems you don't need help on that, but I do
[10:26] <AnubArack> Any of you guys use AWN (Avant window navigator) ?
[10:26] <luckymurali> zvacet, its not there
[10:26] <luckymurali> is it possible to download only the gnome-desktop package??
[10:27] <bullgard> sabbut: So you better put a specific question here in this channel.
[10:27] <luckymurali> i used live cd to boot and used try ubuntu
[10:27] <luckymurali> so it gaves me a Desktop
[10:27] <mena> llutz, and how can i find anyone connect to my machine later
[10:27] <deuterium> AnubArack: uninstalled computer-janitor and reinstalled it (also the gtk variant). same error.
[10:28] <odd13> hey I have a mac...can I have it as just ubuntu installed or do I need bootcamp and mac os installed to run?
[10:28] <sabbut> bullgard: that's what i'm doing - my other computer, which has Ubuntu 9.10, suddenly lost the connection
[10:28] <deuterium> where does ubuntu store downloaded packages it doesn't need anymore?
[10:28] <mena> just i nned to want how can i open log file which stored usere data login
[10:28] <juk> !dualboot | odd13
[10:28] <zvacet> luckymurali:  another way is to use keryx read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Installing%20packages%20without%20an%20Internet%20connection
[10:28] <sabbut> I know I have a connection because I'm writing here
[10:28] <Rabbitbunny> Only 14 days uptime this time on 10.04. Linux isn't ready for the desktop.
[10:28] <llutz_> mena: better question would be: why do you have all those services like vnc etc running if you don't want them
[10:28] <Rabbitbunny> deuterium: I'm pretty sure apt-get autoremove get rid of those.
[10:29] <bullgard> deuterium: Normally it discards them.
[10:29] <sabbut> the thing is, I'd like to know what I can do for the system to find the existing connection
[10:29] <odd13> thanks juk
[10:29] <zvacet> luckymurali:  before you do that can you try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[10:29] <deuterium> Rabbitbunny: ok, let me try. thanks
[10:30] <deuterium> bullgard: hm.. my system has swollen to 4.5 gb.. it was around 2.5 gb before.
[10:30] <mena> llutz, i need this  to connect my fried but the most question now, how this person connect with my without i told him my password to connect?
[10:30] <bullgard> sabbut: lsof -i
[10:30] <Savage^> mena: we cannot understand you...
[10:30] <mena> savage, i will explain this situation now
[10:31] <micro__> все смотрим http://pic4you.ru/10376/761222/
[10:31] <micro__> http://pic4you.ru/10376/761223/

[10:31] <masterjp> русский
[10:31] <mena> savage, in team viewer and etc the client how want to connect the server must has its paeeowrd
[10:31] <sabbut> bullgard: it shows nothing
[10:31] <jpds> !ru | masterjp
[10:31] <zvacet> luckymurali:  I will go for something lighter like lubuntu-desktop or fluxbox openbox... but any desktop can do
[10:32] <deuterium> bullgard, Rabbitbunny: would computer-janitor do anything additional compared to 'apt-get autoremove', 'apt-get autoclean'?
[10:32] <mena> savage let say when i need you connect to my by VNC , i must tell you the password that by it you can connect to me
[10:32] <v_v> zvacet: try awesome, i like it
[10:32] <llutz_> mena: either someone already has your password or you have a heavily misconfigured system
[10:32] <DJones> micro__: those links/pictures are not on topic for the ubuntu support channel, please stop posting them
[10:32] <mena> llutz: what?
[10:33] <zvacet> v_v:  thanx for tip but it was suggestion for somebody else
[10:33] <mena> llutz: i am sure i didn't tell anyone my password
[10:33] <v_v> zvacet: ;-)
[10:34] <Cosmo> juk, http://paste.ubuntu.com/580508/
[10:34] <zvacet> v_v:  when we are taking about it where Ican find deb
[10:34] <llutz_> mena: then your system seem to allow remote-access without password, even worse
[10:35] <juk> Cosmo: you need to rebuild module
[10:35] <mena> llutz, okay anyway i need to view the log file ?
[10:35] <llutz_> mena: there is no such log
[10:36] <visual1ce> how do i run install in expert mode
[10:36] <visual1ce> ?
[10:36] <Cosmo> juk,  and how do I do that?
[10:37] <species> its on option when you boot from the CD i think
[10:37] <species> actually I think the real expert mode is to use aptitude after you got a base install :P
[10:37] <visual1ce> im using a live cd
[10:38] <fitriza> f
[10:38] <juk> Cosmo: remove nvidia-current; after update and upgrade; and install again
[10:38] <fitriza> paha
[10:38] <mena> llutz, this is the log file of TeamViewer, http://paste.ubuntu.com/580514/
[10:39] <mena> llutuz : need your help to see if we can find the solution on this file
[10:39] <Cosmo> juk, what are the commands to do that?
[10:39] <deuterium> can i safely delete the files in /var/cache/apt/archives ? what are they? i expected apt-get autoclean to remove anything unneeded already.
[10:40] <juk> Cosmo: apt-get remove foobar; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
[10:40] <deuterium> removing the files in /var/cache/apt/archives would free about 200 mb on my box. ok?
[10:40] <Tm_T> deuterium: autoclean removes the old versions of the packages, clean takes the whole cache
[10:41] <ethanol> wow, I switched to display time and numbers and stuff to dutch
[10:41] <llutz_> mena: i don't have www here, cannot check your log. why didn't you show that log yesterday, why didn't you tell us yesterday that you're using teamviewer?
[10:41] <ethanol> and it has been taking like 5 minutes so far to apply :<
[10:41] <Cosmo> juk, thanks I will try that
[10:41] <mena> llutz: iam so sorry
[10:41] <larious> Anybody in the room using Huawei EC226 USB Modem please talk to me
[10:41] <llutz_> mena: ask teamviewer-support how to find out who accessed your computer
[10:41] <yuzodo> Hi there, I'm having serious issues. When I installed 10.10 (when it came out) my wifi didn't work and a guy provided me with the Lucid driver and with a small hack that worked, until a while ago where I started having random disconnects, that got partially fixed by resetting my modem/router (upon booting I had to try 4x to connect for it to work), but yesterday evening I randomly got disconnected again and I can't seem to find a solu
[10:41] <yuzodo> tion now, I tried resetting my modem/router, I tried ConnMan instead of NetworkManager, I am currently on wired, which surprisingly works because of Wicd although I haven't launched it or made it auto-start. So, what should I do?
[10:42] <deuterium> Tm_T: ah ok, so i should have executed apt-get clean, right? or is there any good reason for keeping that cache, apart from obvious performance improvements for apt?
[10:42] <juk> Cosmo: Ok
[10:42] <minimec> larious: What is your problem with the EC226?
[10:42] <Tm_T> deuterium: pretty much only to have them around if you decide to reinstall packages, so you don't have to redownload
[10:43] <mena> llutz, i tell you again " how did anyone to connect my desjtop without learn my passwork?
[10:43] <deuterium> Tm_T: ok. my main priority now is to keep the footprint on the disk as small as possible. re-downloading things later doesn't matter. thanks.
[10:43] <mena> llutz, are you understand me?
[10:43] <llutz_> mena: i say again: ask teamviewer-support how to find out who accessed your computer
[10:43] <zvacet> deuterium:  run sudo apt-get clean  sudo apt-get auto-clean

[10:44] <DJones> !ops | micro__ Spamming/inappropriate content
[10:45] <deuterium> zvacet: ok, did that. apt's cache files have gone now. i'm at 4.0 gb now. better than 4.5, but still a lot for a plain ubuntu desktop
[10:45] <yuzodo> Hi there, I'm having serious issues. When I installed 10.10 (when it came out) my wifi didn't work and a guy provided me with the Lucid driver and with a small hack that worked, until a while ago where I started having random disconnects, that got partially fixed by resetting my modem/router (upon booting I had to try 4x to connect for it to work), but yesterday evening I randomly got disconnected again and I can't seem to find a solu

[10:45] <bullgard> deuterium: "[11:32]	<deuterium>	bullgard, Rabbitbunny: would computer-janitor do anything additional compared to 'apt-get autoremove', 'apt-get autoclean'?" Yes.
[10:45] <deuterium> bullgard: i.e.?
[10:46] <bullgard> deuterium: Yes is Yes.
[10:46] <zvacet> deuterium:  but you probably install additional packages
[10:46] <ActionParsnip> yuzodo: when you get a disconnect, run:  dmesg | tail    the output may give clues
[10:46] <mena> ubuntu, I am so sorry
[10:46] <minimec> larious: I am trying to talk to you. What are your problems with the Huawei EC226?
[10:46] <yuzodo> ActionParsnip, I don't get disconnects anymore
[10:46] <mena> llutz, i am so sorry \
[10:46] <deuterium> bullgard: ok, i take that as a "i don't know, sorry" ;)
[10:47] <bullgard> deuterium: You took it wrong.
[10:47] <yuzodo> ActionParsnip, also, I have tried the 2 drivers I can choose from Additional Drivers but those didn't work either
[10:47] <deuterium> zvacet: yes, i did. chromium, firefox and some others. but i think i couldn't get ubuntu desktop 10.10 down to less than about 3.2 gb, i guess.
[10:48] <deuterium> which is still a lot
[10:48] <deuterium> bullgard: never mind ;)
[10:48] <larious>  Anybody in the room using Huawei EC226 USB Modem please talk to me
[10:48] <minimec> larious: I am trying to talk to you. What are your problems with the Huawei EC226?
[10:49] <yuzodo> ActionParsnip, is there a way I can perform the hack again? I still have the Lucid driver lying around
[10:49] <larious> minimec: Need driver to connect to the Internet with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[10:50] <larious> yuzodo: what Hack do you want to perform
[10:50] <larious> minimec: Need driver to connect to the Internet with Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[10:50] <yuzodo> larious, basically the "hack" was putting the driver in some folder and then reboot which made my wifi work flawlessly
[10:51] <larious> can that work for my USB modem
[10:51] <zvacet> deuterium:  maybe you will find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD useful
[10:51] <minimec> larious: I my eyes, you don't. The EC226 should be recognized by the system out of the box. Plug the dongle once and type 'dmesg' in a console. The last 5-6 lines of dmesg should give you the info about your device and how it is recognized by ubuntu.
[10:52] <zvacet> deuterium:  after minimal install you just add what you really need
[10:53] <Slartibart> Sitting here with some text files, and need to find the file(s) that contain say 3-4 given words(in no given order, of course). How to do that in a smart way? All I can come up with right now is actually something with grep, like iterative searches with it. List filenames containing word 1->New search on those files for word 2, and so on. Are there any better ways?
[10:53] <larious> minimec: Have I did that serveral time, but using wvdial option, the network told me that is disconnect, the username and password Error ... No carrier
[10:53] <Cosmo> juk, I have removed,updated, and upgraded now what am I installing?
[10:53] <yuzodo> Hi there, I'm having serious issues. When I installed 10.10 (when it came out) my wifi didn't work and a guy provided me with the Lucid driver and with a small hack that worked, until a while ago where I started having random disconnects, that got partially fixed by resetting my modem/router (upon booting I had to try 4x to connect for it to work), but yesterday evening I randomly got disconnected again and I can't seem to find a solu

So, what should I do?
[10:53] <llutz_> Slartibart: grep -r -e pattern1 -e pattern2 -e pattern3 /path/*
[10:54] <juk> Cosmo: nvidia-current same as you removed
[10:54] <minimec> larious: The problem might be, that your sim card in the Huawei dongle is PIN protected. You might have to put this sim card into a phone and disable that PIN identification. That's all. The network-manager software doesn't give you the possibility to identify you with the PIN. --> Again, disable PIN on the sim card.
[10:54] <zvacet> deuterium:  see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[10:54] <Cosmo> ok
[10:54] <minimec> larious: You don't need wvdial anymore to configure your device. The network-manager can handle that now.
[10:54] <Slartibart> llutz_: Really? Didn't know -e could be repeated like that. Thanks, that should do it :).
[10:55] <AndrewRSM> I just set up a dual boot of XP and lubuntu 10.10. Everything was going fine, I was just wrestling with enabling wireless on ubuntu a little bit. After updating packages I restarted, and winxp no longer shows in grub. Just lubuntu twice, twice recovery, and two memtests. How can I return XP to the grub menu, or do I have something else wrong?
[10:55] <b0yce> i have a question about ubuntu 10.04. i am used to windows but decided to give ubuntu 10.04 a try but the sound is all whack. my speakers r plugged in at the back of my pc and my speakers have a headphone jack. i can configure it on winxp using realtek HD audio but linux does not seem to have a similar configuration?
[10:55] <larious> yuzodo: the guy that gave you the driver, did you get him from this room
[10:55] <yuzodo> larious, yeah I did
[10:56] <llutz_> minimec: networkmanager has a pin-handling function
[10:56] <larious> minimec: My device is not using PIN cos I do make use of it in window environment and it works without PIN, and this device is not universal that you can change sim card, this device is programmer with one network
[10:57] <deuterium> zvacet: thanks for the pointers. i can't follow the synthetic approach as i already have a system, so i'm rather trying to shrink it down. but i have some ideas which programs i could remove and don't need (it's for software development only, so i don't need multimedia apps or games and such that are installed by default)
[10:57] <larious> yuzodo: So what is the guy common ID
[10:57] <minimec> llutz_: Oh. Didn't know that... THX
[10:57] <yuzodo> larious, I can't remember lol, it was back in October '10
[10:58] <larious> yuzodo: nest time you need to keep record
[10:58] <b0yce> anyone?
[10:58] <larious>  minimec: My device is not using PIN cos I do make use of it in window environment and it works without PIN, and this device is not universal that you can change sim card, this device is programmer with one network
[10:58] <mena> llutz: can i ask question plz?
[10:58] <yuzodo> larious, I'll keep that in mind, but that won't fix my current issue right
[10:59] <blackshirt> hello
[10:59] <blackshirt> mena: yeah
[10:59] <larious> yuzodo: cos you cant get him  anymore
[11:00] <yuzodo> larious, or maybe it was an update which started to break it?
[11:00] <minimec> larious: Still. I do guess that the harware is working correctly. In my eyes it is a configuration problem. As you always trying to configure your device with wvdial, why don't you try to configure your device with the network-manager?  use a Huawei E180 that way.
[11:00] <IProteus> I'm using upstart to start a process, does upstart store the pid of the process somewhere?
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> b0yce: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[11:00] <mena> blackshirl: it's the continue of my last question ,
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> b0yce: select to upload to the server, it will make a URL
[11:00] <b0yce> i have no idea. i am not on linux atm
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> b0yce: the run it in Linux and get the link for us and we can advise :)
[11:01] <blackshirt> mena: sory, i'm just join here
[11:01] <b0yce> i am a linux noob and what u just typed is foriegn to me lol
[11:01] <larious> minimec: My APN is the main problem and the technical support never want to help me for the APN cos they believe that I want to hack there network for free browsing
[11:01] <ActionParsnip> b0yce: you just copy and paste it to a terminal. I am sure you are quite adept at copy and paste
[11:02] <b0yce> ok brb i will load linux up
[11:03] <mena> blachshirl : thanks
[11:03] <blackshirt> mena; yeah.thats no problem
[11:04] <Cosmo> juk, ok I installed it again and rebooted, it started in the text mode again and when I typed X it said Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)  no drivers available
[11:04] <minimec> larious: I mean the APN wouldn't change on windows... So if you can configure the device with windows, you should be able to do the same under Linux. I don't see the problem.
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> Cosmo: try:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms
[11:04] <llutz_> larious: its unlikey to get the modem working without the APN
[11:05] <yuzodo> what's the command to see my internet card?
[11:05] <clr> i'm in china.cannot connect twitter.What should i do? VPN???

[11:07] <ChrisHedgie> Well, I'm not seeing any rules or "lineup", so if I may, I'll just ask my question out there: Is there any solution to why sound and/or video skips on Ubuntu? All my mp3 songs skip, and Youtube tends to skip along the videos...
[11:09] <yuzodo> ActionParsnip, I reinstalled b43 fwcutter, what now?
[11:10] <b0yce> ok i am on ubuntu
[11:10] <przemek_> hi, I've got a problem with xterm window while on extended dual screen display
[11:10] <b0yce> ActionParsnip,
[11:10] <rkeiii> is
[11:12] <goddard> are they really trying to make Ubuntu look like Mac?
[11:12] <B9> Hello my Banshee is throwing an invocation error and wont open I would really appreciate some assistance in getting it to work again. B9HH
[11:13] <Cosmo> juk, ok I did that
[11:13] <juk> B9: wont open what?
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> b0yce: sup?
[11:14] <b0yce> im back and on ubuntu 10.04
[11:15] <b0yce> so what do i do now?
[11:15] <B9> juk: it is like it opens two Banshee applications at the same time and then has a dialogue box  that says "Fatal Error ~ Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
[11:15] <Cosmo> juk, it is still in the text interface
[11:16] <juk> Cosmo: lsmod | grep nv any output?
[11:16] <fruitwerks> how do I git this? http://git.openvz.org/pub/linux-2.6.32-openvz/
[11:16] <goddard> you say git gimmie
[11:16] <minimec> B9: I would first try to rename the banshee-1 folder in your /home/yourname/.config folder. That would start a clean banshee session with system default configuration.
[11:17] <fruitwerks> the instrctions say git clone (http|git)://git.openvz.org/pub/<project name> <destination dir>
[11:17] <fruitwerks> git clone http://git.openvz.org/pub/linux-2.6.32-openvz/ here
[11:18] <fruitwerks> I get the error: warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.
[11:18] <tombaugh> Hi all... Is there a way to manually disconnect devices such as ttyACM0? I'm using an application that doesn't exit properly, so the port number keeps increasing ach time I reconnect the device.
[11:18] <Cosmo> juk, the output was nvidia       8097831    0
[11:18] <mena> when i shut-down my machine , it's hanging
[11:19] <juk> Cosmo: and X output gives what?
[11:21] <soreau> tombaugh: probably have to look into udev rules
[11:21] <mena> my com is hanging when i try shutdown
[11:21] <b0yce> ActionParsnip,  u there?
[11:22] <B9> minimec: that has done well. thank u. I renamed folder & opened it and now it is rescanning library
[11:22] <Cosmo> juk,  when I typed X it said Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0)  no drivers available
[11:23] <soreau> Cosmo: mv or rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:23] <b0yce> can anyone else pls try and help me with my sound?
[11:24] <minimec> B9: Nice! ;)  That would always be my first step if one of my software doesn't work as expected. The folders are normally in /home/yourname, /home/yourname/.config or /home/yourname/.local
[11:24] <Slartibart> grep -l -e word1 -e word2 * lists files with *either* word1 or word2 in them, right?
[11:24] <soreau> b0yce: What kind of card is it?
[11:24] <mena> i get error when i try shut down my pc??
[11:24] <v_v> what's up
[11:25] <Slartibart> the opposite of down
[11:25] <soreau> Slartibart: egrep "word1|word2"
[11:25] <b0yce> soreau,  how do i find it in ubuntu?
[11:25] <soreau> b0yce: lspci if its on the PCI bus
[11:26] <b0yce> and where's that? i have only just loaded ubuntu on the cd. i am a noob at this
[11:27] <juk> Cosmo: sucks, try manually going into /usr/src/nvidia-current-* ; and type: make module; make install
[11:27] <Slartibart> soreau: But that would make an OR condition, right? What if I have to find the files with say 4 given words in them, in any order?
[11:27] <mena> i have problem? my computer is hanging when i try shutdown
[11:28] <B9> minimec: stellar advice I will remember. does it matter what you rename it too? how does this work particular what does it do? I like to know what is going on behind the scene as well
[11:28] <soreau> Slartibart: You might have to write a small oneliner bash script depending on what you want to do exactly
[11:28] <cosmo_> there now I have my desktop back
[11:29] <soreau> cosmo_: compiz --replace and metacity --replace
[11:29] <soreau> cosmo_: one wm replaces the other
[11:29] <jrib> Slartibart: on the same line?
[11:29] <Slartibart> soreau: Thought so.. Thanks.
[11:30] <soreau> Slartibart: #bash if you need bash specific help
[11:31] <juk> soreau: do you have that config removed, im not sure if it's needed by nvidia, mine in there
[11:31] <cosmo_> soreau, I dont have metacity installed only compiz it was nvidia drivers that caused it
[11:32] <minimec> B9: When you start a software for the first time, it will launch with system defaults (Sometimes they are stored in /etc, sometimes in /usr/share/). Afterwards the software will always start with your personal configuration stored in some .xy folder or .xyrc file in your /home/yourname directory. removing that folder or file will force the software to create a new personal config file starting with the system defaults.
[11:32] <soreau> juk: Right now, you probably dont have nvidia-commo installed, but your conf file is set to use the nvidia driver
[11:33] <soreau> juk: So either install the driver or use nouveau (which should be the default without a conf file)
[11:33] <raviepic3> people i own a laptop with ubuntu 10, 64 bit on it. people say they can reset my root password without my access
[11:33] <raviepic3> is this possible ?
[11:33] <L> welcom
[11:33] <raviepic3> if yes what should i do or learn to do to avoid this ?
[11:33] <raviepic3> ?
[11:33] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | raviepic3
[11:33] <soreau> raviepic3: What people are telling you this?
[11:34] <Lorans> welcom
[11:34] <jrib> raviepic3: if they have physical access to the machine they can do that sure (with any unencrypted OS)
[11:34] <juk> soreau: no, i have nvidia enabled
[11:34] <soreau> juk: Do you have nvidia-common installed?
[11:34] <raviepic3> soreau, friends when i talk about linux vs windows
[11:34] <cosmo_> so since I screwed up that instalation what is the correct way to install the newest nvidia drivers?
[11:34] <Lorans> i get error that my computer hangs when i shut-down it
[11:34] <juk> soreau: yes
[11:34] <soreau> raviepic3: Id be willing to wager they dont know what theyre talking about
[11:35] <soreau> juk: And you still get the message no drivers when starting X? Try reinstalling it?
[11:35] <raviepic3> jrib, how to restrict this ? even if they have physical access to my machine they should not be in a position to do it ?
[11:35] <jrib> raviepic3: use encryption
[11:35] <juk> soreau: nvidia acceleration works, just wondering if that config no needed anymore
[11:35] <raviepic3> jrib, any links to read more about it ? encrypt what ? where ? how ?
[11:35] <ActionParsnip> juk: try: sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms
[11:36] <soreau> juk: You need an xorg.conf file to use a proprietary graphics driver
[11:36] <Boo1> ребяяяяяяяяяяяятушке
[11:36] <soreau> ! ru | Boo1
[11:36] <Boo1> у меня проблемка еще всплыла =)
[11:36] <penos> what?
[11:36] <juk> soreau: why then you suggested to op to remove it?
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> juk: you may need to run: sudo nvidia-xconfic  to generate an xorg.conf (as soreau says) if your monitor is not reporting edid as it should
[11:36] <soreau> juk: If you didnt have nvidia installed and you just wanted to get into X, its an easy way
[11:37] <raviepic3> soreau, challenging them with a known vulnerability is a heavy risk to take, isnt it ! ?
[11:37] <juk> ActionParsnip: thanks
[11:37] <soreau> raviepic3: Its not a known vulnerability
[11:37] <raviepic3> =/vulnerability/possibility/
[11:37] <adax> hi
[11:37] <adax> what could the cause be of my laptop fan being on high permanently? Even when starting up from a cold laptop.. it's making a lot of noise.
[11:37] <soreau> ActionParsnip: I said rm or mv, not nvidia-xconfig
[11:38] <raviepic3> soreau, any idea where can i learn more about to avoid this ?
[11:38] <jrib> raviepic3: encrypt everything.  It's up to you to decide if it's worth it to you.  Personally, I only encrypt data that I wouldn't want people to obtain in case my laptop is stolen (my home).    You have to decide if it's worth it to you.  For most, it's probably not
[11:38] <cosmo_> to install the most recent nvidia drivers do I use the additional drivers app and choose current or what?
[11:38] <juk> sougata: ah, OK
[11:38] <minimec> B9: The name of the config file is normally given by the software, so just changing the name to 'something' is normally enough. Some software might allow you to start with a given configuration file, like  'irssi --config=~/.irssi/myconfig'
[11:38] <soreau> raviepic3: google or ##linux
[11:38] <soreau> adax: Probably graphics driver driving the card carelessly
[11:39] <soreau> cosmo_: yes
[11:39] <Gnea> !ppa
[11:39] <adax> soreau but it happens as soon as i turn the laptop on.. before drivers are loaded. As soon as i press the power button the fan goes to super high
[11:39] <adimit> OK, so I've about had it with shoddy pulseaudio; now it's not letting me unmute. It starts out muted, I unmute. For a second or so, I'll hear some sound, and then it's gonna mute again. I can spam the unmute button, and then I can hear my audio choppily. WHAT THE …? Anyone knows what's going on?
[11:39] <raviepic3> jrib, from your words i understand he can reset the password and enter into my system but will not be able to take data if encrypted ?! but my question is cant be prevent the entry part itself ?
[11:39] <soreau> adax: Then it doesnt have anything to do with ubuntu. Try ##hardware
[11:40] <adimit> Googling doesn't help. Alsa does. Why am I even keeping Pulseaudio again?
[11:40] <soreau> adimit: You can remove it
[11:40] <soreau> ! pulseaudio | adimit
[11:40] <soreau> and removal instructions
[11:41] <adimit> soreau: at which point everything starts to crash and burn, because Ubuntu is expecting pluse to actually be there (i.e. all the default applications.)
[11:41] <adax> oh ok  thanks
[11:41] <soreau> adimit: No one is forcing you to use ubuntu
[11:41] <jrib> raviepic3: you can set a grub password, make sure your laptop does not boot from anything but the hard drive, set a bios password, but none of this prevents your friend from removing the hard drive, accessing it, then putting it back in your laptop
[11:41] <adimit> yeah, I kinda dread having to reinstall my system, But that's where it's going...
[11:41] <adimit> So I figure, no one here knows the issue either?
[11:42] <cosmo_> to restart the x server do I need to do a full reboot or is there a command?
[11:42] <jrib> cosmo_: sudo service gdm restart
[11:42] <adimit> cosmo_: log out and re-log in.
[11:42] <soreau> raviepic3: Yea, bottom line is, if someone really wants to maliciously hack you, they will find a way. Better try to keep it in a place where no one can gain physical access
[11:43] <raviepic3> oh
[11:43] <soreau> but I dont think one can easily get your password from ubuntu
[11:44] <mklappstuhl> hey
[11:45] <mklappstuhl> does anybody know if it is possible to share my eth0 connection through the wifi network card in my cellphone, which is connected via usb?

[12:02] <rafael> test
[12:02] <Wise_> could I make a disk image off the original harddrive and put that on the new one later?
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Wise_: rsync or dd
[12:03] <ActionParsnip> Wise_: or partimage

[12:04] <huy29> soreau: thank you :)
[12:04] <soreau> Wise_: Or just install both hdds side by side and cp -a
[12:05] <Wise_> soreau; and that should work without problems?
[12:05] <soreau> Wise_: Well, you want to pay attention to /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab and edit accordingly
[12:05] <elHannos> Wise_: If there is a bootloader on the partition you want to copy, you have to handle that seperate, if you work with 'cp'.
[12:06] <soreau> huy29: Let me know if that works
[12:06] <soreau> Wise_: Yea, have to configure the boot loader etc
[12:07] <huy29> soreau: I tried: "sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local.old & sudo mkdir /usr/local" but it doesn't work
[12:07] <soreau> huy29: Well I think its a bug in gvfs
[12:07] <Wise_> elHannos; ok so what about just making a disk image, would that avoid bootloader/fstab/mtab-editing / problems?
[12:08] <huy29> soreau: :D, yeah, I think so

[12:15] <romantic_rectum> Hi all. I've got a problem. When I chose from gnome panel drive which is not yet mounted the system promps me for password. I guess it may have something to do with the fact that I hashed user in visudo, still I would like it to keep it that way. Any suggestions?

[12:19] <Senjai> Abhijit Check out #qt-creator if nobody here can answer your question

[12:19] <lesshaste> I get a really weird corrupted text problem which I think is down to my graphics griver.. I am using radeon.. is there an alternative?
[12:19] <raven> Senjai, yes
[12:20] <Abhijit> qt creator runs my application is not my problem.
[12:20] <Abhijit> g++ dont run my application IS my problem
[12:20] <Pici> pokebear: man find, but thats rather intimidating.  find /path/ -iname "*words*"   will do a case-insenstive search for files in /path/
[12:20] <Pici> pokebear: That should get you started with understanding how the switches for find work.
[12:20] <Senjai> Abhijit from my knowledge of C++, you dont have your paths set to find the library
[12:20] <soreau> Abhijit: You have to use -L /path/to/qtlib
[12:20] <Senjai> Abhijit ^^
[12:21] <soreau> lesshaste: What card is it?
[12:21] <Abhijit> soreau 'where' to look for qt includes in 'UBUNTU'?
[12:21] <lesshaste> soreau: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series] [1002:5954]
[12:21] <Senjai> raven, that should be simple
[12:21] <pokebear> Well, I want to look for the irssi config-file, but I don't know where the application gets installed when I use apt-get install-cmd. So for searching for files, where I don't know where to look? :-P
[12:21] <soreau> Abhijit: /usr/lib probably
[12:21] <lesshaste> soreau: it's a newish problem (on lucid lynx) so I assume it's a bug
[12:21] <Senjai> raven, http://humdi.net/vnstat/ maybe?
[12:21] <raven> Senjai, ok tnx
[12:22] <soreau> lesshaste: I think its already fixed upstream in recent kernels
[12:22] <yuzodo> soreau, I can't find the driver on the site
[12:22] <lesshaste> soreau: oh.. you heard of it?
[12:22] <lesshaste> soreau: I am not alone! :)
[12:22] <Senjai> raven, seeing as though your using a 3g stick, any network logger will work for your purposes
[12:22] <soreau> lesshaste: Yes, I had font corruption for awhile
[12:22] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,  try a 'sudo updatedb' then a 'locate irssi'
[12:22] <lesshaste> soreau: any idea of a bug reference?
[12:22] <soreau> lesshaste: Are you using xorg-edgers repo?
[12:22] <lesshaste> soreau: I don't think so.. I think I am just on the default
[12:23] <Senjai> soreau, is qt in ubuntu by default?
[12:23] <joeghi> anyone knows what is the chkconfig equivalent in ubuntu for turning on and off services?
[12:23] <pokebear> Dr_Willis_TCL: Thanks alot
[12:23] <lesshaste> soreau: but I installed this a while ago so how do I check?
[12:23] <Dr_Willis_TCL> joe75,  theres the service command.. but that does not permently disable services.
[12:23] <soreau> lesshaste: Can you do a test for me please? Do videos play ok for you? Specifically, xv output: mplayer -vo xv /path/to/some/video.ext
[12:23] <Dr_Willis_TCL> joe75,  never noticed a command that manages upstart that way. theres some for the older sysv services..
[12:23] <joe75> tab fail >_>
[12:24] <soreau> Senjai: I dont think so
[12:24] <soreau> Senjai: Its more of a kde thing
[12:24] <serpentologist> How do i start Ubuntu in console mode? I mean without graphical system running
[12:24] <jrib> serpentologist: why?  Forever or just once?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis_TCL> serpentologist,  use the 'text' kernel boot option is one way
[12:24] <joe75> Hexley: tab complete ftl
[12:24] <soreau> serpentologist: Append single to the kernel line
[12:24] <Dr_Willis_TCL> that disables gdm from starting and disables plymouth
[12:25] <Dr_Willis_TCL> i wonder how single differs from text.. Perhaps some services dont get started in single?
[12:25] <lesshaste> soreau: which part of the output do you want? http://pastebin.com/c2pCLsH5
[12:25] <soreau> Dr_Willis_TCL: I am wondering too now
[12:25] <Dr_Willis_TCL> single auto logs in dosent it? ive not used single in ages.
[12:25] <soreau> Dr_Willis_TCL: single is used for recovery mode afaik
[12:25] <Dr_Willis_TCL> single = opens a root shell? or is that recovery.  :)
[12:25] <jrib> soreau, Dr_Willis_TCL: yes, single is recovery mode
[12:26] <Dr_Willis_TCL> single = recovery then? but recovery also launches that recovery menu.
[12:26] <soreau> lesshaste: I dont want the output, I just wanted to know if it plays ok
[12:26] <lesshaste> soreau: plays fine :)
[12:26] <soreau> lesshaste: Try installing xorg-edgers and see if the problem goes away
[12:26] <Senjai> Does anyone know a media player in Ubuntu that has output quality similar to iTunes?
[12:26] <serpentologist> is there some key combination to press during boot process to launch a menu with possible options for booting? i tried pressing esc but it had no effect
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> serpentologist: add the boot option:  text     and you will be a user in text mode, no X server will run
[12:27] <aCiD2> Hi, having a bit of trouble getting grub2 to work now that I've changed hard drives. I've updated /etc/fstab to point to my new partition uuids, and update-grub uses the correct /boot partition, but is still using my old / uuid (on the other drive)
[12:27] <lesshaste> soreau: ok.. thanks.. I should find the bug reference too
[12:27] <joeghi> Dr_Willis_TCL: then how to enable or disable services at startup permanently?
[12:27] <aCiD2> Any idea what I could be missing?
[12:27] <coz_> Senjai,  rhythmbox ?
[12:27] <soreau> Senjai: There used to be songbird, but I think they may have discontinued linux support
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Senjai: depends on config of sound. I use deadbeef + pulseaudio-mixer. Works like a champ
[12:27] <Senjai> coz_, when you use a subwoofer, the quality is poor with rythmbox
[12:27] <jrib> aCiD2: update uuid in grub configuration?
[12:27] <Senjai> ActionParsnip Good quality with a sound system/
[12:27] <serpentologist> ActionParsnip, what file should i edit? grub's menu.lst?
[12:27] <Abhijit> soreau, there is kde 4 and qt 4 folders but they dont have include files
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> Senjai: the sound quality is usually down to the initial file played as well as the hardware used
[12:28] <Dr_Willis_TCL> joeghi,  if they are upstart based . rename the ./etc/init/ file. or edit it. as needed. or just remvoe the service.
[12:28] <soreau> ! compile | Abhijit
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> serpentologist: in /etc/default/grub   in the quotes with: quiet splash
[12:28] <aCiD2> jrib: no, since the move to grub2 you don't do that manually
[12:28] <Dr_Willis_TCL> serpentologist,  are you using grub1 or 2?  the text option is for the newer ubuntu versions.. that default to grub2
[12:28] <soreau> Abhijit: You can also try ##c++
[12:28] <aCiD2> jrib: it uses os-prober to determine that stuff now
[12:28] <jrib> aCiD2: well did it?
[12:28] <aCiD2> I'm going to try chrooting into the copied system, and running update-grub from there
[12:28] <aCiD2> jrib: no... hence my question
[12:28] <jrib> aCiD2: yeah, so edit it manually
[12:28] <coz_> Senjai,   here is a list of media players   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_media_players
[12:29] <Senjai> Abhijit your question is a C++ question. Ask in ##c++ for those questions.
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> Senjai: try a few, see which you lik. As I say, most of sound quality isn't the app. I suggest you grab pulseaudio mixer so you can tweak the sound
[12:29] <Abhijit> Senjai, no its not.
[12:29] <aCiD2> jrib: no, because then it will just get broken again when I update my kernel
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> see above serpentologist:
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> Senjai: sorry, wrong targer
[12:29] <Abhijit> Senjai, c++ is nothing to dith which library is where in my ubuntu
[12:29] <jrib> aCiD2: no it won't
[12:29] <soreau> Senjai: Yea, its probably pulseaudio being crappy, your sound card or audio drivers
[12:29] <jrib> aCiD2: the problem is with your existing entries
[12:29] <Senjai> Abhijit Yes it does, those libraries are installed by qt or kde, not ubuntu
[12:30] <coz_> Senjai,   do you have a pro sound card?
[12:30] <Senjai> Abhijit They do not come with ubuntu, you have to replace them, or find out where they are.
[12:30] <Senjai> coz_ Yes
[12:30] <coz_> Senjai,  same here,,, which one?
[12:30] <Senjai> ActionParsnip Ill check it out, deadbeef sounds cool
[12:30] <ActionParsnip> Senjai: its light and able :)
[12:31] <joeghi> Dr_Willis_TCL: update-rc.d can be used or is reserved to package scripts?
[12:31] <coz_> deadbeef is kinda cool
[12:31] <Senjai> coz_ SoundFX I think
[12:31] <coz_> Senjai,   which manufacturer?
[12:31] <Senjai> coz_ one sec let me open my sys info
[12:31] <Senjai> coz_ (on my windows boot atm.)
[12:31] <bullgard> What purpose serves a certain value of the environmant variable GNOME_KEYRING_PID?
[12:31] <coz_> Senjai,  ah ok
[12:31] <aCiD2> Running update-grub within a chroot environment seems to have fixed this
[12:32] <coz_> Senjai,  in ubuntu  simply open alsamixer  it should be listed there  as well
[12:32] <Fuchs> bullgard: it is the unique process identifier
[12:32] <Senjai> coz_ IDT High Def.
[12:32] <Fuchs> bullgard: used to identify the process providing the current keyring process.
[12:32] <Senjai> coz_ its the one that comes with Dell XPS
[12:32] <Laurenceb_> is there a way to make notifications dissapear?
[12:32] <bullgard> Fuchs: Thank you.
[12:32] <Ubunewb> hey does anyone know how to start compiz on startup? ubuntu 10.04. everytime I restart ubuntu, compiz deactivates again
[12:32] <Laurenceb_> theres no cross on them in 10.04
[12:33] <v_v> !compiz
[12:33] <Fuchs> bullgard: you can check it with `pidof` or pgrep
[12:33] <Dr_Willis_TCL> joeghi,  im not sure if that command works with the new Upstart based services or not...
[12:33] <Dr_Willis_TCL> joeghi,  it should work with the older sysv type services.
[12:34] <coz_> Senjai,   seems the driver in windows for that particular card  has given some issues as well... you could check in #alsa for compiling the alsa driver for that specifig card,,, I have to do that ,, espeicially on Lucid,,
[12:34] <coz_> Senjai, If you want full functionality that may be the way to go
[12:35] <Senjai> coz_ alsa?
[12:35] <coz_> Senjai,   yes the alsa sound driver
[12:35] <Senjai> coz_ The reason im on windows is for good sound quality atm
[12:35] <Senjai> coz_ want my music to play on my system properly
[12:35] <coz_> Senjai,  it can be tweaked  during compile.
[12:35] <soreau> Senjai: Then you need to install the right drivers
[12:35] <Senjai> Ohdear
[12:35] <coz_> Senjai,  pulseaudio may not support all features of that card
[12:35] <Senjai> complicated
[12:36] <coz_> Senjai,  not really  for me the command is  ,/configure --with-cards=layla24  --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes
[12:36] <Senjai> coz_ with alsa?
[12:36] <romantic_rectum> I installed xorg and gnome-core, now I have problem mounting drives from nautilus as a user. Help.
[12:37] <Senjai> romantic_rectum you can mount in terminal, but not nautilus?
[12:37] <coz_> Senjai,   yes   that would be the command "for my card" with the alsa driver ,, then the  alsa libs  and then the alsa firmware,,,not sure firmware would be needed on your card  but you might have to do a bit of research
[12:37] <StrangeCharm> is there a good way to tell which firefox addons are slowing things down?
[12:37] <Senjai> coz_ Didnt know about this, thanks for your help[
[12:37] <b0ot> coz_, do you know of anyway that might work to start a script @boot with root access when the script fails with crontab, rc.local, and linking it to init.d (it runs but segfaults when it gets to a program) but runs fine when I wait until ubuntu boots and run it in the terminal? I have also tried to manually set the $PATH and $TERM in the script without sucess.
[12:38] <Senjai> StrangeCharm, probably anything that involves logging, GUI, etc.
[12:38] <romantic_rectum> Senjai, I honestly don't think so, however, accessing unmounted partition from nautilus was never (with regular installations) a problem. I think I just need to set something.
[12:38] <Senjai> romantic_rectum, you dual boot?
[12:38] <coz_> b0ot,  the person here I would trust with script is soreau ,,:)
[12:38] <romantic_rectum> Senjai, Yes.
[12:38] <Senjai> romantic_rectum, do you know what partition your windows machine is on
[12:38] <romantic_rectum> Senjai, Yes.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis_TCL> romantic_rectum, theres proberly some gvfs services you need.
[12:39] <Senjai> romantic_rectum, like /dev/sda3?
[12:39] <Abhijit> Omg!!! Omg!! My first qt application runns successfully!!!! :-D
[12:39] <StrangeCharm> Senjai, i'm not totally clear what the logical extrapolation is from logging and gui
[12:39] <b0ot> soreau, any ideas?
[12:39] <romantic_rectum> Dr_Willis_TCL, that may be it.
[12:39] <romantic_rectum> Senjai, Yes.
[12:39] <coz_> Abhijit,   :)
[12:39] <Abhijit> :-)
[12:39] <pokebear> I am trying to set-up IRSSI using this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1010780 - however I can't get pass the "Automatically connect..." part, mkdir $HOME/.irssi/scripts/autorun doesn't work, nothing happens. The second line works, but I can't find it :P
[12:39] <Senjai> romantic_rectum, go into terminal, type: sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/DriveName/ -t ntfs
[12:40] <Senjai> romantic_rectum where drivename is the drive name of your windows partition.
[12:40] <TobalJackson> hello ubuntu chat
[12:40] <Senjai> romantic_rectum first check if that works
[12:40] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,  is there a .irssi/scripts directory? is there an autorun directroy in that dir?
[12:40] <sacarlson> b0ot: you can create a crontab script with line start of @reboot  to start at boot,  if you sudo crontab -e  then it will be started in root with root privs
[12:40] <TobalJackson> I was wondering if anyone could help me construct a bash script
[12:40] <romantic_rectum> Senjai, it works, already checked it, thou I am using root, not sudo.
[12:40] <pokebear> There's no irssi-dir in home
[12:40] <Dr_Willis_TCL> TobalJackson,  dozens of bash script guides there.
[12:40] <TobalJackson> specifically, I'm trying to figure out if
[12:40] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,  read it closely.. it says .irssi   see the . ?
[12:40] <b0ot> sacarlson, thanks for the suggestion, but I have already tried that without sucesss. My script will call a program that segfaults
[12:41] <TobalJackson> I can truncate a grep return with SED
[12:41] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,  its a hidden directory.
[12:41] <Senjai> romantic_rectum oh, your logged in as root?
[12:41] <pokebear> Yes, but there's no such thing. lost+found, +user +Games
[12:41] <Dr_Willis_TCL> TobalJackson,  grep patterh file | sed sedoptoions
[12:41] <sacarlson> b0ot: then add a sleep 30 or some time in your script or find what is needed to be running for it to work
[12:41] <TobalJackson> if i do 'sudo blkid | grep -i NtFs'
[12:41] <romantic_rectum> Senjai, no, just on one of terminals.
[12:41] <pokebear> It didn't create a new dir. Do I need the -pv attributes? Tried running with sudo, nothing happened either.
[12:41] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,  your home direcotry is for your users..  You most likely dont have those dirs in your home directory.
[12:41] <TobalJackson> and what I want to do is truncate the return to just the '/dev/sdb1'
[12:42] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,  i think you need to  spend an hr learning some bash basics..
[12:42] <Senjai> romantic_rectum, oh so when you try to mount through nautilus what happend
[12:42] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,   you did NOT want to use sudo that would make the dir owned by root,
[12:42] <TobalJackson> right now without truncating the return it looks like '/dev/sdb1: LABEL="HD E" ........blah blah'
[12:42] <sacarlson> b0ot: I asume you also provide complete path when you do anything in crontab
[12:42] <romantic_rectum> Senjai, I forgot to mention that it looks the same for ext4 partitions
[12:42] <pokebear> Dr_Willis_TCL: I think so too! :)
[12:42] <b0ot> sacarlson, I was under the impression that the env didn't change if it was called with crontab... is that not correct?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,  also you may want to check out 'weechat' if you want a console based irc client.
[12:43] <TobalJackson> is there a way to just capture the first 10 characters of a text return
[12:43] <TobalJackson> stdout
[12:43] <sacarlson> b0ot: env is completely different so maybe create a source script to setup as needed
[12:43] <Dr_Willis_TCL> TobalJackson,  awk, or sed can do that i recall.
[12:43] <romantic_rectum> Senjai, 'autentication is requited to mount this device' promps for password.
[12:43] <pokebear> More newbie friendly? :)
[12:43] <buschwusch> herro, i can't get the unity launcher for maverick can't i?
[12:43] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,  if you want newbie friendly.. get xchat.
[12:43] <TobalJackson> right, I'm pretty sure one of them can too, i just don't know the terminology to earch for
[12:43] <krokop> hi. i've gave a 'chmod -R www-data:www-data /var/www', but everytime i create there dir or file it's created with user priviledges (for example user:group, and i want it do be user:www-data). how can I do that? i want every file and dir to be created with user:www-data priviledges.
[12:44] <b0ot> sacarlson, I guess what i'm asking is if I call something with crontab and the script has a sleep 30, even after the script is called the env is still different than the normal env because it was called with crontab isn't it?
[12:44] <Senjai> Sorry
[12:44] <Senjai> that was weird
[12:44] <pokebear> I like a challenge, I don't mind getting into problems. It's part of the learning process. :P
[12:44] <Dr_Willis_TCL> TobalJackson,  theres dozens of ;'quick awk' script and 'quick sed' examples out there on the web. i always have to look stuff up  when i use them.  dont use them a lotl
[12:44] <jrib> krokop: use Access Control Lists (man setfacl; man getfacl; note you need to add the "acl" option to the partition in fstab)
[12:44] <pokebear> I'll try them both out. Thanks
[12:44] <Dr_Willis_TCL> pokebear,  spend the time learning  some bash first. :)
[12:44] <TobalJackson> Dr_Willis_TCL: what terms should I search for? Truncate stdout with awk|sed?
[12:44] <Senjai> romantic_rectum are you aware your name is romantic rectum/
[12:45] <Dr_Willis_TCL> TobalJackson,  awk/sed oneliners  proberly will tgive pages of quick examples.
[12:45] <romantic_rectum> sejo, ronnie's_rectum was taken.
[12:45] <Senjai> romantic_rectum disturbing lol
[12:45] <krokop> jrib: can umask do this?
[12:45] <TobalJackson> hmm, ok thanks, I'll try searching
[12:45] <sacarlson> b0ot: yes the env is different at start and at end it makes no difference the sesion is closed
[12:46] <soreau> Dr_Willis_TCL: TCL?
[12:46] <b0ot> sacarlson, I already set my $PATH and $TERM variables... what other ones could be causing the problem
[12:46] <jrib> krokop: no. The alternative to using Access Control Lists is to setgid /var/www, make the group www-data, and make sure umask for users is 002.  But this won't work on subdirectories of /var/www/ automatically.
[12:46] <soreau> b0ot: Make sure to use absolute paths
[12:47] <b0ot> soreau, for which part?
[12:48] <soreau> b0ot: use absolute paths to any programs or scripts you are referencing
[12:48] <b0ot> soreau, my scripts start, they just segfault when they call a program, but the program itself starts so I don't think it is a path issue. (I could be mistaken)
[12:48] <sacarlson> b0ot: I'm not sure you need to look inside the scripts you run to see what env values it uses.  maybe just copy the env you know it works in and import that into the cron sesion if needed
[12:48] <soreau> b0ot: If your script is segfaulting, that sounds like more of a personal problem :P
[12:48] <vesh> hello there have ubuntu server installed on virtual box but have limited the hard disk space to 100gig fixed is there anyway of having this increased
[12:48] <b0ot> soreau,  do you know of anyway that might work to start a script @boot with root access when the script fails with crontab, rc.local, and linking it to init.d (it runs but segfaults when it gets to a program) but runs fine when I wait until ubuntu boots and run it in the terminal? I have also tried to manually set the $PATH and $TERM in the script without sucess.
[12:49] <soreau> vesh: Ask in #vbox
[12:49] <b0ot> soreau, so I know the program itself works, just not the way that cron and it's related programs start it
[12:49] <sacarlson> soreau: I guess b0ot must have some custom program that uses some custom libs and when run in cron it must run the wrong lib?
[12:49] <soreau> b0ot: I have no idea what is segfaulting for you or why
[12:50] <soreau> sacarlson: no idea
[12:50] <Dr_Willis_TCL> soreau,  on Tiny Core Linux right now. :)
[12:50] <soreau> Dr_Willis_TCL: oh neat
[12:50] <coz_> ah^^
[12:50] <b0ot> soreau, any ideas on other ways I could start the script?
[12:50] <soreau> b0ot: You pretty much named them all
[12:51] <b0ot> :(
[12:51] <sacarlson> b0ot: maybe your program needs an xserver?
[12:51] <soreau> b0ot: Maybe it would help to explain more exactly what you are trying to do
[12:51] <Dr_Willis_TCL> b0ot,  what is this thing doing exdactly? rc.local is about far into the boot process as it gets..
[12:52] <b0ot> sacarlson, soreau Dr_Willis_TCL I have a script that simply calls a program which was supplied by my mpegencoder vendor that turns on my mpegencoder and streams the video locally via rtp to port 7070
[12:53] <Dr_Willis_TCL> b0ot,  its not got a X GUI interface? text only app?
[12:53] <b0ot> text only, no interaction with it (it does output text letting you know details) but does not require input
[12:53] <TobalJackson> Dr_Willis_TCL: on this page http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/pseries/v5r3/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.genprogc/doc/genprogc/manip_strings_sed.htm do you think I can use the \d command to somehow capture the first 10 characters of each line?
[12:54] <romantic_rectum> Dr_Willis_TCL, Some people found solution to coresponding problem with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1350526&page=2 ,however, I don't have that files. You mentioned I may need to install something.
[12:54] <Dr_Willis_TCL> TobalJackson,  theres proberly a dozen ways to get the first 10 characters from a line.    You could just use awk/sed  and a regular expression also. to match 10 characters
[12:54] <Dr_Willis_TCL> romantic_rectum,  i dont even remember what your problem is/was :)
[12:55] <sacarlson> b0ot: did you try the delay start of a few minits or whatever time you nomaly take to start in in a terminal.  I guess if your network is slow to get started is the only thing I see that might cause a problem
[12:55] <b0ot> If I could change the program to be able to run at the userlevel would starting the script with startup applications allow it to have the same env as if it I started it normally in terminal after ubuntu loaded? I have also attempted to launch the script with screen?
[12:55] <romantic_rectum> Dr_Willis_TCL, : ) same as in thread. Nautilus (?) request authentication during mount.
[12:56] <b0ot> sacarlson, I could try but the computer boots fairly quickly (ssd)
[12:56] <soreau> b0ot: Have you tried putting a delay to start the script until the system is all the way up?
[12:56] <b0ot> I will go give it a try. I have to go for now. Thank you very much for your suggestions soreau Dr_Willis_TCL sacarlson. I will let you know how it goes.
[12:57] <Dr_Willis_TCL> romantic_rectum,  i dont bother with building minimal gnome builds. :) i tossed all my  older machines.
[12:58] <erez> hello all, I accidentally bind the delete key to a different shortcut, however, when I disabled the shortcut, the delete key still doesn't work
[12:58] <koray> hi everyone
[12:58] <erez> Any ideas how I can fix this?
[12:58] <soreau> erez: How did you bind it?
[12:58] <koray> is there any software you can advise us just like notepad++ ?
[12:58] <erez> System> Preference> Keyboard Shortcuts
[12:59] <erez> I mistook it for backspace to clear a key
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> erez: could you bind DEL to DEL ?
[12:59] <Dr_Willis_TCL> koray,  theres dozens of text editors out there. Personally I perfer geany over notepad++
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> koray: gedit
[12:59] <soreau> Dr_Willis_TCL++
[13:00] <erez> ActionParsnip: that would be something :)
[13:00] <erez> but how
[13:00] <TobalJackson> yesssss
[13:00] <TobalJackson> i got it
[13:00] <TobalJackson> sudo blkid grep -i nTfS | cut -c 1-9
[13:00] <Dr_Willis_TCL> thats how most keys do the binding  stuff.. click on the bind button.. select the key...
[13:00] <TobalJackson> sudo blkid | grep -i nTfS | cut -c 1-9
[13:01] <TobalJackson> cut -c 1-9 captures first 10 characters
[13:01] <erez> koray, Gnome has Gedit which is an excellent editor, KDE has Kate, which is even better
[13:01] <erez> Dr_Willis_TCL, in keyboard shortcuts?
[13:01] <koray> thanks friends
[13:02] <Dr_Willis_TCL> erez,  yes.  I think so.
[13:03] <Dr_Willis_TCL> Im not in gnome so cant check
[13:03] <erez> Dr_Willis_TCL, what's the "delete" action called?
[13:03] <Dr_Willis_TCL> Im not in gnome so cant check.. so no idea
[13:03] <erez> nthsnths
[13:03] <mksysb> Hi there, has anyone had stability issues with 10.10?  I have 10.10/64-bit on ESXi and using tightvnc and all windows are crashing on me
[13:04] <Dr_Willis_TCL> if all else fails. fire up  the gconf editor and look at its shortcuts stuff.
[13:04] <cosmo_> do I need remote desktop to load at startup or can I remove it?
[13:04] <Dr_Willis_TCL> cosmo_,  are you ever going to use the feature? if not then disable it.. i wouldent 'uninstall' it.
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> erez: not sure, not something I do, but it makes sense
[13:05] <cosmo_> Dr_Willis_TCL,  I just meant remove it from startup
[13:05] <Dr_Willis_TCL> cosmo_,  try it and see.. shouldent hurt anything.
[13:05] <Dr_Willis_TCL> if you are not going to use it.. :)
[13:05] <Dr_Willis_TCL> It proberly just checks to see if its enabled
[13:06] <soreau> Dr_Willis_TCL: proberly? lol
[13:06] <Dr_Willis_TCL> the tool has settings to disable it.. so it sees if its set to allow or not.. you are nog really going to notice much differance  if you remvoe the entry i imagien.
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> cosmo_: if you don't use it then remove it
[13:08] <gartral> hello all, I booted up this morning and it appears as though my sound system got corrupted.. I can't open open sound preferences too look at anything because it just gives a popup box saying "Waiting for sound system"

[13:09] <coz_> gartral,   you can try   pulseaudio -k ... killall pulsaudio..... pulseaudio --check
[13:09] <coz_> gartral,   then reboot
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> gartral: try:  killall pulseaudio; rm -r |/.pulse*    then press ALT+F2 and run:  pulseaudio
[13:10] <gartral> coz_: hmm. this is bad pulseaudio -k says No such Daemon
[13:11] <coz_> gartral,  pulseaudio --check to see what is running
[13:11] <soreau> ActionParsnip: How does that work? rm -r |/.pulse*
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> gartral: sorry:  rm -r |/.pulse*   == |~/.pulse*
[13:11] <gartral> coz_: returns me too ~$
[13:11] <coz_> gartral,  mmm
[13:11] <gartral> ActionParsnip: I caught that, but thank you
[13:11] <dudko> hi, pls, how to disable saned? I have no link in rc2.d, no *.conf in /etc/init. tehre is only saned in /etc/default, wtih RUN=no.thanks!
[13:13] <Wise_> how painful would it be to move a linux install to a new harddrive through disk image/clone?
[13:13] <coz_> gartral,  I believe    pulseaudio -D    should restart
[13:13] <Senjai> Wise_, same hardware? painless.
[13:13] <gartral> ActionParsnip: are you sure there should be a pipeline?
[13:14] <Rabbitbunny> Why does YouTube only load a.. tanish (colorblind) box sometimes? Any video. Chromium on 10.04.
[13:14] <Wise_> Senjai; the HDD make and size will be different
[13:14] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  does this happne in firefox?
[13:15] <gartral> coz_: just followed ActionParsnip's directions, brb rebooting
[13:15] <Senjai> Wise_ not a problem, just make sure you have your boot loader set up properly
[13:15] <coz_> gartral,  ok
[13:15] <Senjai> Wise_, make sure its formatted ext4
[13:15] <Rabbitbunny> coz_: Yes.
[13:16] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  link me to one
[13:16] <secretary_linux> Hi all. A system fell the way of rm -r on hardlinks the other day. I restored files from a backup, but it just so happens the backup was from before the last kernel update. Now the system is kernel panicing when I try to boot it. How can I reinstall just the kernel and relevant packages from a bootable install USB stick with the server install iso on it?
[13:16] <Senjai> secretary_linux what a well formed question
[13:16] <Senjai> secretary_linux so rare lol
[13:16] <soreau> secretary_linux: Probably need to chroot into the filesystem
[13:17] <secretary_linux> Senjai: thanks, I find that when I'm here not asking questions, I'm usually saying "please expand on what you mean"
[13:17] <Rabbitbunny> coz_: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u2ZsoYWwJA&feature=related
[13:17] <coz_> secretary_linux, :)
[13:17] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  checking
[13:17] <secretary_linux> soreau: yes that sounds right to me. the thing is, I haven't done this without some kind of documentation or safety net
[13:17] <Senjai> secretary_linux, chroot the local filesystem as soreau said
[13:17] <dudko> hi, pls, how to disable saned? I have no link in rc2.d, no *.conf in /etc/init. there is only saned in /etc/default, with RUN=no.thanks!
[13:17] <Senjai> secretary_linux, installing the kernel will not change the files on the disc
[13:18] <soreau> secretary_linux: Try reading how to chroot when repairing grub
[13:18] <soreau> ! grub2 | secretary_linux
[13:18] <erez> Hi, still having this annoying issue:, I accidentally bind the delete key to a different shortcut, however, when I disabled the shortcut, the delete key still doesn't work
[13:18] <gartral> ActionParsnip: thank you very much, what causes that glitch?
[13:18] <soreau> dudko: uninstall it?
[13:18] <Rabbitbunny> erez: Bind it back to 'delete'
[13:18] <gartral> erez: your going too have too rebind it as a delete key
[13:18]  * Senjai is getting distracted by irc again
[13:18] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  ok this is what I get   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/Screenshot-YouTube%20-%20Louis%20C.K.%20%22Why%3F%22%20-%20Mozilla%20Firefox.png    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/Screenshot-YouTube%20-%20Louis%20C.K.%20%22Why%3F%22%20-%20Mozilla%20Firefox-1.png
[13:18] <erez> thnth
[13:19] <erez> Rabbitbunny, gartral: how do I do that?
[13:19] <dudko> soreau: too easy. who does start saned?
[13:19] <ircuser> Left mouse click doesn't work anywhere except on Desktop, in right click menus. It creates a wobbly effect on click anywhere else. How to solve this?
[13:19] <secretary_linux> is there a way to verify/repair/reinstall all installed packages?
[13:19] <soreau> ! info saned
[13:19] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  can you screenshot your issue?
[13:19] <soreau> !info saned
[13:20] <gartral> coz_: ActionParsnip fixed me up
[13:20] <coz_> gartral,  very cool :)
[13:20] <Rabbitbunny> coz_: uploading
[13:20] <soreau> ircuser: What do you mean it creates a wobbly effect?
[13:20] <soreau> ircuser: Do you mean like water?
[13:20] <coz_> yeah wobbly :)
[13:20] <coz_> yay
[13:21] <erez> Please, how do I bind it to "delete"? There isn't such an option in the keyboard shortcut menu
[13:21] <ircuser> soreau: Like wobbly effect of Ubuntu desktop. When we select that special effect. Right click works fine.
[13:21] <Senjai> chpsheng, eww IPv6
[13:21] <Rabbitbunny> coz_: http://imgur.com/a/CUee9
[13:21] <soreau> ircuser: You mean rippling effect? Can you show a screenshot?
[13:21] <Senjai> erez, is \b on the shortcut menu?
[13:22] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  you get no video at all?
[13:22] <Rabbitbunny> coz_: Mhmm
[13:22] <ircuser> I am logged into my office's window machine. I will get one when I go to home but I am not sure I will be able to. Anyway, I will try using Keyboard.
[13:22] <ircuser> soreau: please read above.
[13:22] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  you have flash installed ...yes?
[13:22] <jatt> compiz is buggy don
[13:22] <jatt> 't use it
[13:22] <Rabbitbunny> coz_: Now, it worked twenty minutes ago, perfectly.
[13:23] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  whoa... were there recent updates? sorry if you already mentioned that
[13:23] <velope> hola
[13:24] <gartral> jatt: yea, compiz is also outdated, we use Compiz-Fuzion now
[13:24] <coz_> jatt,  ?/ you have a buggy compiz install?
[13:24] <Rabbitbunny> coz_: Oh. I did install a chromium update earlier, but I've rebooted and watched a video since then.  I closed firefox, closed the tab in chromium, opened a new tab. now a video is playing.
[13:26] <soreau> gartral: Compiz is only as slow as your graphics hardware/driver combo
[13:26] <jatt> I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS whatever Compiz, Fusion, etc. comes with it
[13:26] <erez> Senjai, it's System> Preferences> Keyboard Shortcuts
[13:26] <gartral> soreau: ok mr. killjoy.
[13:26] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  whoa!  what the heck?
[13:26] <soreau> gartral: This is a support channel, not a comedy club
[13:26] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,   that one definilty puzzles me
[13:26] <coz_> jatt,  which version of compiz are you running?
[13:26] <Rabbitbunny> coz_: So agree it's elves?
[13:27] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  yes definilty  or maybe gnomes
[13:27] <jatt> compiz 0.8.4
[13:27] <coz_> jatt,  and which video card?
[13:27] <Rabbitbunny> coz_: Thanks. :D
[13:27] <ircuser> soreau: can you tell me any solution?? maybe compiz is doing the trick??? should i remove it???
[13:27] <krokop> how can I disable wifi led blinking?
[13:27] <coz_> Rabbitbunny,  :)  well you solved it sort of  :)
[13:27] <jatt> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Mobility Radeon HD 3650
[13:28] <dudko> sudo mc
[13:28] <gartral> krokop: that's a very dificult question, the first thing i have too think of is "Can you disable it?"
[13:29] <soreau> ircuser: I dont know what wobbly effect you are talking about but my guess is that you probably have something bound to Button1 in ccsm. Try disabling compiz by setting None in sys>prefs>appearance>Visual Effects tab or run metacity --replace from Alt+F2 run dialog
[13:29] <jatt> haven't tried Radeon's proprietary drivers tho
[13:29] <coz_> krokop,   look here maybe   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1284267
[13:29] <soreau> krokop: black electrical tape
[13:29] <coz_> krokop,  not sure if that is effective or not
[13:31] <gartral> coz_: any way too make lights come on?
[13:31] <ircuser> soreau: What is CCSM?
[13:31] <coz_> gardar,  wifi lights you mean?
[13:31] <soreau> ! ccsm | ircuser
[13:31] <gartral> coz_: any leds.
[13:31] <soreau> ircuser: ccsm = compizconfig-settings-manager
[13:32] <veilig_abt> I'm trying to get 3 monitors working on 3 cards, I can see my computer boot off my main ATI card's dual monitors, but then X only shows 1 of my monitors on my ATI and the nVidia card.  does my xorg.conf look suspect or could there be another reason? http://pastie.org/1674294
[13:32] <jblz> hello.  i was wondering if any kind ubuntu used could post the results of "echo $PYTHONPATH" in lucid for me :)
[13:32] <veilig_abt> errrr 3 monitors on 2 cards!!
[13:32] <jblz> i don't have lucid installed, so i'm kind of stuck :)
[13:32] <barf> Is there a way to tell apt-get to use <IP_ADDRESS> as default gw while all other apps use <IP_ADDRESS> as default gw?
[13:32] <ircuser> soreau: thanks a lot..
[13:32] <soreau> veilig_abt: You are trying to get three screens working with two on radeon and one on nvidia?
[13:32] <barf> Is there a way to tell apt to use <IP_ADDRESS> as default gw while all other apps use <IP_ADDRESS> as default gw?
[13:32] <berefeira> miredo, whos using it?
[13:32] <jatt> downloading the ati driver
[13:33] <veilig_abt> soreau: yes
[13:33] <coz_> gardar,  you got me on that one... there are probably many hits on google for t his  especially if you specify which led you want to light up for example  wifi,,,   http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Wireless_LED_on_Ubuntu
[13:33] <jatt> does anybody have experience with it?
[13:33] <jatt> AMD Catalyst™ Display Driver
[13:33] <soreau> veilig_abt: I doubt that is going to work.
[13:33] <soreau> veilig_abt: At best, you wont have acceleration
[13:33] <jblz> jatt, i've used it
[13:33] <soreau> ! anyone| jatt
[13:33] <gartral> coz_: unlikely, my laptop has leds on keys, in places you would never expect
[13:34] <linux_user> hi, I've seen a great thing in knoppix, which is having the application menu in the nautilus in the sidebar (mac alike) I wonder can I do that in ubuntu ? and how
[13:34] <veilig_abt> soreau: shoot.  will it not work in general w/ two different types of cards?  if I switched to two on the nvida card and 1 on the ati would that change anything?
[13:34] <gartral> coz_: like a "mute" button that's replaced F7, it has a light.
[13:34] <coz_> gardar,  ah ,,, mmm then I am at a loss with th at... seems you may have to do personal searching on that or hopefully someone has had some experience with it,,, you could try ##linux channel   .. maybe someone there has had to deal with this :)
[13:35] <gartral> coz_: gardar is getting mad..
[13:35] <coz_> gardar,  sorry guy ,, bad tab habits
[13:35] <coz_> gartral,  of course that was for you :-)
[13:35] <gartral> ;_;
[13:35] <gartral> lol
[13:36] <gartral> coz_: btw my hardware is a CR-48
[13:36] <Grexeo> is grub needed on a system with only one OS?
[13:36] <coz_> gartral,   yeah check in ##linux   maybe they have some clue... there used to be a hardware channel but I dont think it is around  ,,
[13:36] <linux_user> hello..
[13:37] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[13:37] <Pici> coz_: ##hardware
[13:37] <jblz> would a kind lucid user please post the output of "echo $PYTHONPATH" for me?
[13:37] <keyzs> anybody can give a help installing alfa awus036h,alfa awus036nh and alfa awus051nh on ubuntu 10.10
[13:37] <coz_> Pici,  ah ok cool
[13:37] <keyzs> Grexeo: NO
[13:37] <jrib> jblz: likely empty
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> jblz: mine outputs nothing here
[13:38] <jblz> linux_user, i'm sure it's possible.  perhaps ask in knoppix how they did it, or look around for the config files they used?
[13:38] <secretary_linux> when I try to chroot my root filesystem from liveusb, I get the error messsage "chroot: can't execute '/bin/sh': Exec format error" -- both when using the semi-GUI chroot option and typing it in manually. what gives?
[13:38] <linux_user> jblz, its empty
[13:38] <jblz> jrib, ActionParsnip thank you
[13:38] <jblz> linux_user, thank you
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> keyzs: are they wireless adapters?
[13:38] <keyzs> yes
[13:39] <llutz> secretary_linux: sudo chroot /bin/bash
[13:39] <jblz> hmmm, lucid must have it's custom search-path built into python
[13:39] <ActionParsnip> keyzs: then have them connected and run:  sudo lshw -C network   you will see the chips they use and can find guides based on that
[13:39] <Grexeo> keyzs, thanks - just to clarify, I am reinstalling Ubuntu on a new drive, but still have my old drive connected, which set up has detected. I am now being asked: "Install the GRUB bootloader to the Master Boot Record (MBR)?", but I will be disconnecting the old drive after installation. Should I choose "no"?
[13:39] <secretary_linux> llutz: same error except with bash instead of sh
[13:39] <linux_user> jblz, thank you too
[13:39] <llutz> secretary_linux: mix 32/64 bit?
[13:40] <gartral> Grexeo: no, you should choose yes
[13:40] <jblz> okay, could some kind lucid user run: "python -c 'import sys; print "\n".join(sys.path)'" from the terminal, and post the output to a pastebin?
[13:40] <llutz> secretary_linux: 32bit live cd to chroot into 64bit-installation or vice versa?
[13:40] <secretary_linux> llutz: that might be the problem. thanks
[13:40] <secretary_linux> looks like the liveusb reports i686 so you are correct. thanks a bunch...
[13:40] <jblz> that won't attack your system, it just prints the working path of a vivified python environment
[13:40] <Grexeo> gartral, will I need to remove the GRUB entry for my old drive once I have disconnected it?
[13:41] <romantic_rectum> I've got some problems with network manager applet. Previously I was using cli to connect, but, now I installed glorious gnome-core! Missing network manager on panel.  Notification area in it's place. Once it shown itself for a secound but was inactive. Strange. How to fix it?
[13:41] <jblz> that's the last favor, i promise :)
[13:41] <gartral> Grexeo: now that im not too sure, you may have too setup the ordering so that the first drive chainloads the second..
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> keyzs: if they are usb based then: lsusb   will help ID them too. The make and model is not very useful to u
[13:41] <Wise_> I have a harddrive with an ubuntu install on it, I can mount the harddrive via usb docking station to my windows computer, I want to create a disk image of the linux hdd... any idea what software would be appropriate for this?
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> Wise_: I'd boot to a liveCD and use partimage
[13:42] <keyzs> ActionParsnip: i´m gonna check it, my ubuntu vm is rebooting
[13:42] <gartral> Wise_: yea, make a live USB disk, or use a vm, and make the image with dd
[13:42] <coz_>   guys I have to break here,,, be back in a bit
[13:43] <linux_user> btw, where can I find the config file for nautilus ?
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> keyzs: then you will ALSO need to configure usb access in whatever virtualization technology you have used
[13:44] <keyzs> ActionParsnip: i know, action wich one of those is more compatible ? besides 36h
[13:45] <fairuz> Hi, can we overwrite a function defined in another file? I mean rewrite a function that has a similar name
[13:45] <keyzs> Wise_ you can use dd too
[13:45] <Grav> Hi how can I autostart root process?
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> keyzs: we have no way of knowing until you find out the chip
[13:45] <bullgard> '~$ pgrep gnome-keyring-daemon' does not produce any output. Why does the output of '~$ pgrep gnome' and '~$ pgrep keyring' include the proper PID but '~$ pgrep daemon' not?
[13:45] <keyzs> ok
[13:45] <jblz> Wise_, i love clonezilla for that kind of thing
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> Grav: add it in /etc/rc.local   above the exit 0 line
[13:46] <acicula> fairuz: typically yes, its called overloading or redefining
[13:46] <ActionParsnip> keyzs: what is printe don the plastic case doesn't change what is insside
[13:46] <fairuz> acicula: it's possible in plain C?
[13:46] <jblz> Wise_, it's it's own "distro", a bootable cd that can backup a partition or HD - i use it a lot
