[09:28] <Jonii^> If I don't, how I'm gonna play Half-Life 2?
[09:28] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, then let it install a partition auto in the free space, not enitre disk. It will load in grub for OS boot choice
[09:28] <alisalaah> but a hotkey that allows me to highlight a box on screen of what to screenshot
[09:28] <Prinler> OMFG!!! 128GB!!!! Thumb Drives? #$%^$%^&#
[09:29] <alisalaah> and if possible a hotkey to do the same but get back a url for the image
[09:29] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, have you looked into half life being played in WINe?
[09:29] <Jonii^> Nitrohax, it doesn't seem to recognize that there is anything beside free space on my disk. It says "no other operating system found" and all
[09:29] <CoNFuS3D> no such luck :(
[09:29] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, have you installed ubuntu already?
[09:30] <Jonii^> Nope
[09:30] <[thor]> alisalaah: check the Software Center for the package "shutter"
[09:30] <alisalaah> [thor]: yes, but in the way mac os did it.. and is it possible to do it and get a url into clipboard?
[09:30] <alisalaah> [thor]: thank you
[09:30] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, when you put the disc in to install it it will ask you if you want to partition and then you would pick use free space and let it do it auto, NOT ENTIRE DISK!!!
[09:30] <CoNFuS3D> Is it time to give up?
[09:30] <Nitrohax> CoNFuS3D, no
[09:31] <Jonii^> Because I want to make sure Windows survives this operation. I have 14,5 GB partition prepared for this installation, and all that
[09:31] <wiot> 5
[09:31] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, are you just going to use ubuntu to see if you like it?
[09:31] <Senjai> rww the merciful?
[09:32] <gaelfx> CoNFuS3D: well, that stinks
[09:32] <CoNFuS3D> you're telling me :/
[09:32] <Prinler> Ok, I just rebooted after installing a SPDIF cable on my video card... now X cant find any monitors?
[09:32] <Senjai> rww is IRCOp election time coming up? :P
[09:32] <Nitrohax> CoNFuS3D, have you tried looking for drivers?
[09:32] <CoNFuS3D> yes
[09:32] <CoNFuS3D> everything I found either didn't work, or was too hard to do....
[09:32] <Nitrohax> CoNFuS3D, display driver but no audio?
[09:32] <rww> Senjai: freenode doesn't elect ircops ;P
[09:32] <CoNFuS3D> i.e. me being a newb and all
[09:33] <Jonii^> Nitrohax, the installation doesn't seem to think that there is anything but free space on my disk. It had two devices(plus my USB hard drive, so three), neither had size or any other information about those
[09:33] <CoNFuS3D> yes, display works fine
[09:33] <CoNFuS3D> but no audio
[09:33] <Nitrohax> CoNFuS3D, just go thru it slowly.
[09:33] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, have you thought about using the wubi version installation?
[09:33] <ardchoille> Senjai: ban list has a limit on the number of entries, it's good to clear it out now and then
[09:33] <Jonii^> Nitrohax, I am most likely going to switch to ubuntu from Windows
[09:33] <MintUser> hello
[09:33] <Senjai> ardchoille, we really have that many misbehaviours?
[09:33] <CoNFuS3D> Jonii^, I'm looking at doing the opposite soon :P
[09:33] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, well before deletign everything try the WUBI install.
[09:34] <ardchoille> Senjai: in a channel this popular and this big, yes
[09:34] <Nitrohax> CoNFuS3D, what kind of sound card do you have?
[09:34] <gaelfx> Nitrohax: he's using X-Fi Extreme Audio card, it's supposed to be in ALSA
[09:34] <Jonii^> That's the point, I'm not gonna delete everything :/
[09:34] <CoNFuS3D> it's a soundblaster x-fi xtreme audio
[09:34] <Nitrohax> hmmm... one sec
[09:34] <gaelfx> for a coupla years now too
[09:34] <Jonii^> Now, I need to figure out how to deal with this installation program
[09:34] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, the wubi doesn't delete or even change the format of anything. so your windows won't be touched.
[09:34] <Jonii^> And if either of those devices it found would be safe to install
[09:35] <Jonii^> What does WUBI do then?
[09:35] <MintUser> If Linux Mint automatically picked up my wifi card, would Ubuntu?
[09:35] <[thor]> Jonii^: WUBI is Windows UBuntu Installer
[09:36] <[thor]> installs from within the windows environment.
[09:36] <ardchoille> [thor]: sounds like a VM thing
[09:36] <Jonii^> Humm... I tried that once before, it didn't work, though since then, I've decrypted my hard drive
[09:36] <[thor]> ardchoille: you can do that as well
[09:37] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, it installs it like a program in windows undr add remove but still lets you boot into ubuntu on start up with out changing the format. might have some problems on the ubuntu side but very minimal
[09:37] <gaelfx> MintUser: it ought to, but the best way to find out is live
[09:37] <gaelfx> (as in LiveCD/LiveUSB
[09:37] <gaelfx> )
[09:38] <Jonii^> That doesn't sound too good
[09:38] <Jonii^> I'd rather just figure out that partition/installation program
[09:38] <MintUser> gaelfx: lol oh yeah, i feel like noob now.
[09:38] <Jonii^> Like, it should be possible to just install Ubuntu to an empty space on my disk?
[09:39] <ardchoille> Jonii^: if there's enough space for the system, it should yes
[09:39] <[thor]> Jonii^: have you tried booting to the LiveCD ( try without installing ) and then using the graphical installation?
[09:39] <Nitrohax> Jonii^, that's where i was going how much free space do you have?
[09:39] <Jonii^> 14,5 GB
[09:39] <ardchoille> that's plenty
[09:39] <Nitrohax> i would use the graphical. it's easier to under stand and it's the first option already selected
[09:39] <ardchoille> I think 3GB is the requirement
[09:40] <Jonii^> Windows shows Disk 0 partitioned into 4 different... What's the English word for that? Like, drive or something? That invisible windows backup drive, C:, D:, and empty space
[09:40] <ardchoille> partitions
[09:41] <MintUser> lol
[09:41] <histo> Jonii^: partitions
[09:41] <Jonii^> Well, that
[09:41] <Nitrohax> ok c: is your windows, d: is your recovery and the rest can be sized in a linux partition with out over writing windows partitions
[09:41] <histo> Jonii^: you could install it to the unpartioned empty space
[09:41] <Nitrohax> CoNFuS3D, you there?
[09:42] <Jonii^> histo, that's why there is empty space in the first place
[09:42] <histo> Jonii^: or you can shrink the windows partition and give yourself more room to install ubuntu.
[09:42] <histo> Jonii^: you can also install ubuntu inside of the windows drive.
[09:42] <CoNFuS3D> yes
[09:42] <Nitrohax> CoNFuS3D, i think i have a solution try here http://www.userdrivers.com/Sound-Card/Creative-Sound-Blaster-X-Fi-Series-Linux-32-bit-64-bit-Beta-Driver/
[09:42] <histo> !install | Jonii^
[09:42] <Jonii^> But the installation program doesn't seem to detect there is any partitioning on the disk at all. It didn't detect any operating systems either
[09:42]  * chalcedony smiles
[09:42] <CoNFuS3D> googling stuff atm
[09:42] <histo> !wubi > Jonii^
[09:43] <histo> Jonii^: are you booted from the live cd at the moment?
[09:43] <chalcedony> i'm trying to decide where to write/look/talk/complain about a computer problem. it won't attach the correct file when i want to attach files to mails, or uploads. it's inconsistent with files of all types. a good percentage of the time, it's trying to send my xchat.conf instead of the correct file
[09:43] <Jonii^> Nope, windows, I came back to check my partitioning from windows point of view
[09:43] <CoNFuS3D> awesome... 404 :/
[09:43] <Jonii^> I could try booting back to Ubuntu live cd
[09:43] <Nitrohax> CoNFuS3D, one sec

[09:44] <Nitrohax> that better?
[09:44] <alisalaah> Okay, major problem, I can speedtest at 24mbps down on my windows computer ... but here on my Ubuntu laptop I get less than 1mbps?
[09:44] <Jonii^> Oh well, I'll be back
[09:44] <Jonii^> ->
[09:44] <CoNFuS3D> nah that works, but when ya click on the download link, it goes to 404
[09:44] <Nitrohax> oh, one sec
[09:44] <histo> Jonii^: well while you in the livecd. you can check which partitions it's seeing by clicking Applications > Accessories > terminal  and running the command sudo fdisk -l    That will list the partitions

[09:55] <sagaci> viktor, well what browser do you use
[09:55] <histo> whitefire: which driver did you install?

[10:03] <whitefire> how to put nickname in what I say :(
[10:03] <kj6lxu> i just set up Dancer-IRCD (irc server) on 10.04 but it will NOT list the channals ???
[10:03] <snowrichard> gholtzcomix, do you have ftp or ssh servers on the  home server?
[10:03] <histo> whitefire: begin typing a nickname like his then hit the <tab>. So his<tab>
[10:04] <jayvan_> has anybody enabled the log out sound in ubuntu lucid?
[10:04] <gholtzcomix> I have vsftpd installed, which works fine from outside of the network.
[10:04] <snowrichard> then you should be able to use an ftp client and the ip or the hostname as the server address
[10:05] <gholtzcomix> snow, I've tried doing that, but it uploads very slowly to about 3%, then the connection times out. I can upload via FTP from work just fine, though...
[10:05] <gholtzcomix> do you think there is a conflict because the server and source of the upload share the same router?
[10:06] <snowrichard> the router should be able to handle that but i don't know.  I get like 3Mb/s when I do it locally here
[10:07] <gholtzcomix> Do you use the same process as when you are outside the network?
[10:07] <ratih> How to extract xml from PDF ? plz
[10:07] <ylmfos> 晕，这咋是英文阿
[10:07] <snowrichard> yeah i have a hostname
[10:07] <snowrichard> use that
[10:07] <gholtzcomix> is your hostname just the IP address of your server?
[10:07] <ylmfos> hello!
[10:08] <snowrichard> no i have a domain name
[10:08] <snowrichard> the server is set up on dmz
[10:08] <gholtzcomix> hmm. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong, then...
[10:08] <silverarrow> hi

[10:10] <gholtzcomix> When I try to use FileZilla to upload a file to the server downstairs, I can log in and access the folders, but when I try to upload a file, it goes for a bit, then times out and tries to restart.
[10:11] <snowrichard> gholtzcomix, maybe try a different client --  i have had some problems like that with filezilla.  ncftp is an easy command line one

[10:12] <whitefire> histo: I can boot to recovery from grub
[10:13] <Slartibart> Hi. Anyone knows how to restart /usr/sbin/nmbd ? Strange thing is that I can't find it in /etc/init.d, so I hope there's another way?
[10:13] <silverarrow> do you know the common reason why a DVD film is not detected by Ubuntu or Totem player?
[10:13] <llutz_> Slartibart: service nmd restart
[10:13] <frogzoo> what's the easiest way to turn a collection of mp3s into a dvd?
[10:13] <llutz_> Slartibart: sudo service nmb restart           sry typo
[10:13] <silverarrow> i have a newly installed Maveric, but have tried to add all the restricted stuff
[10:14] <frogzoo> !dvd
[10:14] <llutz_> Slartibart: look for upstart scripts in /etc/init if that won't work
[10:14] <silverarrow> fogzoo, for read on compters only?
[10:14] <iflema> Yerushalmi: yes, this message is from it....
[10:14] <histo> whitefire: okay when you get a terminal try the following
[10:14] <frogzoo> silverarrow: for dvd players
[10:14] <histo> whitefire: dpkg -l | grep nvidia     that will show you what nvidia driver package you have installed
[10:14] <histo> whitefire: should be soemthing like nvidia-glx-****
[10:14] <Yerushalmi> iflema: How big a drive? Ever had corruption or read/write problems?
[10:14] <silverarrow> on thanks frogzoo, it looks like I have to take look at it again
[10:15] <iflema> Yerushalmi: 8gig and no
[10:15] <histo> whitefire: once you find that package type in sudo apt-get remove nvidia-glx-restofname
[10:15] <histo> whitefire: then reboot
[10:15] <silverarrow> is there any reason why I should be able to make Ubuntu do all the stuff Linuxmint does?
[10:15] <silverarrow> not be able*
[10:15] <Slartibart> llutz_: That was quick :), thanks. Seems service isn't installed though, debian-helper-scripts and sysvconfig are suggested packages, does it matter which one of them I install, regarding service?
[10:15] <iflema> Yerushalmi: but this system doent do all that much its go no RAM... 128mb
[10:16] <Camarata> restarted and all i get is command line
[10:16] <sagaci> silverarrow, well wouldn't it just make sense to install mint rather than ubuntu
[10:16] <silverarrow> iflema, have you tried flubuntu?
[10:16] <Camarata> i didnt change anything was just getting slow wireless, after restart no way to get to Ubuntu desktop, pelase help
[10:16] <llutz_> Slartibart: sysvinit-utils
[10:17] <llutz_> Slartibart: what version are you using if "service" is not installed
[10:17] <llutz_> ?
[10:17] <iflema> Yerushalmi: two thumbdrives actually... on for a swap as well and no to flubuntu
[10:17]  * iflema googles
[10:17] <silverarrow> I'm thinking of getting one of those superflat Macs
[10:17] <Jonii^> Ok
[10:17] <Jonii^> So, my drive has a broken partition table
[10:18] <Jonii^> Thus, Ubuntu thinks it's entirely unallocated
[10:18] <llutz_> Slartibart: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart            should do it on older versions (pre-upstart)
[10:18] <Jonii^> The cool thing is, Windows doesn't mind this at all
[10:19] <iflema> silverarrow: no
[10:19] <Jonii^> It boots up just fine and finds all the files that it's supposed to, and disk partition tool in windows sees every partition there is
[10:19] <whitefire> histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/569984/
[10:19] <Jonii^> Now I need to figure out how to make this Windows interpretation of partition table canon
[10:19] <Slartibart> llutz_: Yup, that last one did it. Thanks :). lsb_release -r says "Release: 8.04"
[10:19] <llutz_> Slartibart: ancient...
[10:20] <llutz_> Slartibart:consider upgrading
[10:20] <histo> whitefire: sudo apt-get remove nvidia-current
[10:20] <silverarrow> iflema, what are you running now?
[10:20] <silverarrow> iflema, for os I mean
[10:20] <Slartibart> llutz_: Ok, will try to talk them into it.
[10:20] <histo> whitefire: then sudo reboot     and see if X works
[10:21] <histo> whitefire: wait
[10:21] <histo> whitefire: it is removed right now.
[10:21] <histo> whitefire: did you remove it?
[10:22] <whitefire> histo: yes
[10:22] <Jonii^> So, if anyone knows anyone who knows about partition stuff, please forward me to him/her
[10:22] <histo> whitefire: okay if you removed it try booting and see if X is working again
[10:22] <silverarrow> iflema, I have done much the same playing around with an old laptop, it now has a bit more ram than it used too, VLC runs fine on it
[10:22] <histo> Jonii^: What is your question about partitioning?
[10:23] <Jonii^> histo, my drive has a broken partition table, somehow
[10:23] <whitefire> histo: it work
[10:23] <Jonii^> But, Windows finds every file and partition. It's just that Ubuntu does not
[10:24] <Jonii^> So now I need to figure out how to fix this
[10:24] <AegisX> Hey guys; I'd like to set a static IP address for my wireless, and I'm new to both Ubuntu and networking. Can anyone guide me through it?
[10:24] <histo> Jonii^: okay one sec. if not someone else can help you
[10:25] <histo> whitefire: alright now what type of nvidia card do you have? you can find out by lspci | grep VGA
[10:25] <iflema> silverarrow: lol... this thing has one damaged ram slot and maxs out at 128 per slot, or is it 256... anyway this is off topic =)
[10:25] <Jonii^> I'm not sure, I just read on a website that a partition table is invalid if it has more than one primary partitions, windows shows that both my C: and D: are primary partitions
[10:25] <silverarrow> iflema, extra ram for laptops like that are often super cheap, if it takes PC100 Sodimm I have a 250MB memory you can have
[10:25] <histo> Jonii^: you can have up to 4 primary partitions and thats the limit
[10:25] <sacarlson> Jonii^: so what is seen with sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit ?
[10:25] <Gnea> Jonii^: perhaps you interpretted that wrong
[10:25] <Jonii^> Err...
[10:26] <Jonii^> sacarlson, I forgot to do that. fdisk -l showed 5 partitions
[10:26] <Gnea> Jonii^: you can have 4 primary partitions, or up to 3 primary parititions and as many logical parititions as you need
[10:26] <whitefire> histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/569985/ I want to use NVIDIA card
[10:26] <hemza> what is the best way to surf securely and none on local network can see what you are doing ????
[10:27] <Gnea> hemza: define 'surf'
[10:27] <Jonii^> EISA-setting-stuff that windows has as SDA1, C: as SDA2, D: as SDA3, empty space with file system "extended" as SDA4, and something I don't know of as SDA5
[10:27] <hateball> hemza: Use https
[10:27] <ExiledVip3r> I've been tyring to recompile php without suhosin, and keep getting this error on debuild: http://pastebin.com/MtXirCT4
[10:27] <ExiledVip3r> any ideas?
[10:27] <silverarrow> iflema, I see lol, but it can be fun making an extra workstation from these old things. As long as it boots up fine, the extra ram is used by the system even if it excees max RAM specs
[10:27] <sagaci> http://pastebin.com/gvLPeTzw
[10:27] <histo> Jonii^: can you install pastebinit to the box and then just sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit
[10:28] <sacarlson> Jonii^:  just pastebinit to use so we can give you instructions on how to mount it
[10:28] <Jonii^> That something I don't know of was quite large
[10:28] <hemza> hateball, some site do not except this option ... how to do ?
[10:28] <histo> whitefire: is the intel like on onboard card?
[10:28] <Jonii^> How do I join this channel from liveCD?
[10:28] <iflema> silverarrow: im just as happy without a gui belive it or not... this thing serves its purpose well... but thanks for the offer cheif =) mplayer/mencoder ftw
[10:28] <hemza> Gnea, what do you mean
[10:28] <whitefire> histo: yes
[10:28] <Jonii^> I don't think I can install any programs, and if I don't, Ubuntu doesn't come with IRC client
[10:28] <sacarlson> Jonii^: I don't even think you will need to use a livecd to mount it
[10:29] <silverarrow> filema; GUI ?
[10:29] <Jonii^> sacarlson, so, what do I do now that I'm using Windows?
[10:29] <silverarrow> iflema, never heard of your player
[10:30] <AegisX> Anyone? Is there an easy way to set a static IP address for a wireless card?
[10:30] <histo> whitefire: do you use it at all?
[10:30] <sacarlson> Jonii^: just boot into your ubuntu,  it does boot doen't it?
[10:30] <silverarrow> iflema, what kind of laptop is it?
[10:30] <histo> whitefire: also what type of machine is this? Is it custom built or does it have a make / model?
[10:30] <Jonii^> sacarlson, I don't have Ubuntu installed yet, because I don't want to lose my Windows
[10:30] <Gnea> hemza: I mean exactly what I said.
[10:30] <Jonii^> So if I wanna use Ubuntu, gotta use live CD until I manage to fix my partition table
[10:30] <sacarlson> Jonii^: then I don't understand the problem
[10:31] <Gnea> hemza: really, the best way to keep locals out of your business is to use a firewall. iptables can solve that.
[10:31] <sacarlson> Jonii^: you can mount it from a livecd also if that's what you want
[10:31] <silverarrow> iflema, if you managed to install Ubuntu, then no need to look any futher
[10:31] <Jonii^> sacarlson, I need to fix the partition table so that I can install the Ubuntu to the empty space on my disk, without formatting the entire disk and thus wiping out my Windows
[10:32] <Jonii^> But, when I boot using live cd, I don't have IRC client available
[10:32] <DJones> Jonii^: I thought the livecd had xchat installed as a default irc client
[10:32] <Jonii^> DJones, oh well, I'll go check
[10:32] <sacarlson> Jonii^: that is not a problem from livecd you can modify and  mount the partitons as needed
[10:32] <sagaci> if it doesn't just sudo apt-get install xchat
[10:32] <iflema> silverarrow: graphical user interface , THE player =) and you got it
[10:32] <Jemt> XChat is not included by default
[10:33] <Jonii^> So, how do I fix the partition table?
[10:33] <chalcedony> i created a user on the ubuntu forum and launchpad too, but how do i file my bug or create a post?
[10:33] <histo> whitefire: http://askubuntu.com/questions/4954/how-to-get-nvidia-geforce-gt-210-drivers-working-on-lucid-lynx
[10:33] <Jonii^> I'll boot to Ubuntu, I'll use my netbook to get to irc
[10:33] <Jonii^> ->
[10:33] <histo> whitefire: read all the way down on that page
[10:33] <silverarrow> iflema, cool, I have to check it out
[10:33] <hemza> Gnea, could you give me a link to learn more to define a surf or how to use iptable
[10:33] <histo> Doesnt' ubuntu come with xchat what is jonii^ talking about?
[10:34] <whitefire> histo: sorry, I don't understand. my computer is acer aspire 5745g and I think use NVIDIA better than Intel so I try to install driver
[10:34] <Gnea> !iptables | hemza
[10:34] <sacarlson> Jonii^: there is nothing wrong with the partition table since you say windows see's it all so just resize a space if needed and delete a partition to allow the ubuntu to install
[10:34] <chalcedony> histo, better to get the real xchat - #xchat than xchat gnome
[10:34] <silverarrow> weirdly enough, I'm having more trouble with my main every day computer than the tiny old one
[10:34] <histo> whitefire: The reason I was asking is because some computers have two cards that switches between the two.
[10:34] <Gnea> hemza: basically, you'd want to deny any incoming connection except for higher port ranges so that web browsers and things like that will work
[10:35] <histo> whitefire: what version of ubuntu do you have installed?
[10:36] <whitefire> when I use win7 I can switch between 2 card by press 1 button in my computer
[10:36] <whitefire> histo: 10.10
[10:36] <histo> whitefire: yeah
[10:36] <histo> whitefire: that's the problem the graphics switching let me find directions
[10:38] <MacGyver_> For some reason, Gnome on 10.10 completely ignores the "separate layout for each window" option.
[10:38] <hemza> Gnea, nice. I know how to deny any incoming connection but how to add exception
[10:38] <whitefire> histo: with ubuntu, how I know I'm using Nvidia card or Intel card
[10:38] <MacGyver_> Known bug, or is it me?
[10:38] <Jonii> http://pastebin.com/XPYvshFd
[10:38] <histo> whitefire: there is a program to switch between them if you want. that
[10:39] <histo> whitefire: one person I found says that you need to use the propriatary driver from nvidia.com for vga to work.
[10:39] <histo> whitefire: and there is vgaswitcheroo to switch betwene the intel and the nvidia
[10:39] <CoNFuS3D> hmm, so I started downloading that driver, and half way through it, my connection died.... it was going at only 2KB/s
[10:40] <histo> whitefire: http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1523756&page=2  this thread maybe of help
[10:40] <CrystalLinux> Woah, sloooooooooow connection.#
[10:41] <CoNFuS3D> nah.... it's the site, everything else is fast
[10:41] <Jonii> http://pastebin.com/XPYvshFd <- Here's the result of fdisk -l . Now, sda5 seems to be the suspect
[10:41] <CoNFuS3D> I get usually about 1.5MB/s
[10:41] <Jonii> But I have no idea what that sda5 is
[10:41] <Jonii> And what to do about it
[10:42] <Jonii> So, what do I do??
[10:42] <histo> !nvidia | whitefire
[10:42] <histo> whitefire: you may also want to0 look there for install the binary driver
[10:43] <MacGyver_> Basically, when I switch the layout for one window, I do not want other windows to use that layout. But at the moment, this is what happens. Sometimes this is even the case even though the layout indicator states the correct layout is being used.
[10:43] <MacGyver_> So it appears that the indicator is "lying", and that the "separate layout for each window" option isn't working like it should.
[10:44] <histo> Jonii: maybe some kind of screwed up recovery partition from the factory?
[10:44] <Jonii> histo, nope, SDA1 is the recovery partition
[10:44] <histo> Jonii: so you didn't create sda5 then?
[10:44] <dean[w]> A colleague disconnected my second monitor and i have an important application open on the 2nd monitor. Ubuntu still thinks I have the 2nd monitor plugged in. I need a way of moving the window back to monitor 1. Any suggestions? I don't have the 2nd monitor handy right now
[10:45] <Jonii> histo, nope
[10:45] <Fuchs> dean[w]: wmctrl
[10:45] <histo> Jonii: well then delete it
[10:45] <Jonii> Or, not intentionally, at least
[10:45] <histo> Jonii: and create logical paritions when you install ubuntu.
[10:45] <sacarlson> Jonii: I guess you  can just delete partitions sda4, sda5, sda1.  I'm not sure what sda1 may be and I'm not sure what effect it may have to delete it so maybe just keep that for now
[10:45] <dean[w]> Fuchs, wmctrl?
[10:45] <histo> Jonii: you can most likely remove sda4 as well and just leave the free space for the ubuntu installer
[10:46] <Jonii> But I had whole systme encryption a while ago, and while that was on, I tried installing Ubuntu, Debian, arch and lots of other stuff
[10:46] <histo> Jonii: let it make the extended partitions for you.
[10:46] <histo> Jonii: ahh
[10:46] <tjc_> hi all!i have a little problem!it appears a red triangle i n the right superior part of my screen saying that the update information is outdated!but my system is updated!any help?
[10:46] <histo> Jonii: that maybe an encrypted swap left over
[10:46] <Codesleuth> I've installed Cacti through the package installer, and now I need to configure the site in Apache2 to only allow my local subnet to view the site. Where is the config for Cacti installed when you use the package installer?
[10:47] <histo> Jonii: if you are sure that C and D are sda2 and sda3 and you don't need the data on sda5 then I would sudo cfdisk and remove sda4 and sda5 then proceed to install ubuntu to the freespace ont he drive.
[10:47] <Jonii> histo, the size is a close match
[10:47] <sacarlson> histo: Jonii: I concure
[10:47] <Jonii> My C is about 250gb, and my D is about 350gb
[10:48] <Jonii> And both empty space and that windows rescue section were around 14gb
[10:48] <Jonii> Windows also listed these in this exact order, rescue section, C:, D:, and then empty space
[10:49] <histo> Jonii: well then remove sda4 and sda5 and proceed with the ubuntu installation. IT will ask you to use the freespace on the drive. It will create another primary then extended for swap
[10:49] <histo> Jonii: scratch that
[10:49] <histo> Jonii: hopefully it will create exteneded or just one primary we'll seel
[10:49] <histo> Jonii: cuz you're already using 3 primaries
[10:49] <Jonii> so, I write sudo cfdisk?
[10:50] <histo> Jonii: yea
[10:50] <blag> whats the last ubuntu release that has python 2.4?
[10:50] <Jonii> Fatal error, bad primary partition 3
[10:50] <Jonii> This seems bad
[10:51] <snowrichard> Jonii sometimes fdisk will work when cfdisk doesn't
[10:51] <Jonii> partition ends in the final partial cylinder
[10:51] <histo> Jonii: the only think I see wrong is that 3 starts ont he same black that 2 ends on.
[10:51] <histo> Jonii: yeah try using gparted
[10:52] <Codesleuth> I found it by the way: /etc/apache2/conf.d/cacti.conf
[10:52] <Jonii> gparted lists entire disk as unallocated
[10:52] <whitefire> histo: I use system profile: http://pastebin.com/Pu53Pe5h that mean I'm using Intel or Nvidia card?
[10:52] <snowrichard> Jonii try fdisk
[10:52] <histo> whitefire: right now it's using the intel it looks like
[10:53] <Jonii> snowrichard, err, so?
[10:53] <Jonii> What do I do?
[10:53] <Jonii> sudo fdisk?
[10:53] <histo> whitefire: I would post a message on the forums. This new switching thing i'm not to familar with i'm sure someone else is
[10:53] <tjc_> hi all!i have a little problem!it appears a red triangle i n the right superior part of my screen saying that the update information is outdated!but my system is updated!any help?
[10:53] <snowrichard> Jonii - sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[10:54] <sacarlson> histo: Jonii: you have that same problem bettween sda3 and sda4 also,  I'm not sure how this could have been working
[10:54] <chalcedony> i'm trying to decide where to write/look/talk/complain about my problem? i have a new ubuntu 10.04. it won't attach the correct file when i want to attach files to mails, or uploads. it's inconsistent with files of all types. what kind of bug is it? where do i file a report?
[10:54] <histo> sacarlson: isn't that not allowed starting and ending being on the same block
[10:54] <silverarrow> totem player works, it seems I missed one lib package
[10:54] <Jonii> My Windows worked just fine :o
[10:54] <silverarrow> but it runs very jerky
[10:54] <histo> sacarlson: well on extended they will be within
[10:55] <silverarrow> jonii, mine don't
[10:55] <silverarrow> I like windows
[10:55] <histo> Jonii: partitionl 3 is definately a problem starting on a block that 2 ends on
[10:55] <sacarlson> histo: I think you can make it happen but it will cause strange problems when you write to the same location it will modify the other partitions data
[10:55] <chalcedony> histo, i tried, but what kind of bug is it and .. i don't see how to make the forum post or report?
[10:55] <Jonii> 0x43a1 flag is invalid, this says
[10:55] <histo> Jonii: and sda4 should not start on 75913 and sda5 starts outside of sda4 it's all messed up table
[10:55] <sacarlson> histo: at this point it's only going to cause problems on his window side
[10:56] <histo> chalcedony: what program are you having the problem in
[10:56] <histo> sacarlson: pretty much
[10:56] <histo> Jonii: alright if it was me. I'd backup my data in windows asap. Then fix the partition table
[10:57] <chalcedony> histo, anything that i try to upload something to
[10:57] <silverarrow> is totem a good player for Maverick or is Mplayer or VLC better/easier?
[10:57] <Jonii> How do I fix partition table?
[10:57] <Codesleuth> Where do I turn off the signature in Apache2? e.g. Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu) Server at x.x.x.x Port 80
[10:57] <histo> Jonii: so you understand sda3 should start at 32277 and sda4 should start at 75914. Then the extended sda5 should be wit5hin side of sda4
[10:57] <sacarlson> histo: jonii: there's no way to fix it without a total repartition but I think you could make a working ubuntu if you just delete sda4 and sda5 and fix that location
[10:57] <histo> chalcedony: so A browser?
[10:57] <silverarrow> Jonii, in Gparted?
[10:58] <rww> Codesleuth: If /etc/apache2/conf.d/security exists, in there, under ServerSignature.
[10:58] <histo> Jonii: I think testdisk can fix broken partition tables. I'd just be worried about data loss onthe windows side
[10:58] <Jonii> sacarlson, how do I delete sda4 and sda5?
[10:58] <histo> Jonii: especially your D drive
[10:58] <chalcedony> histo, firefix, opera, dcc, yahoo mail, gmail... .txt .doc. . anything.
[10:58] <sacarlson> Jonii: won't fdisk let you delete them?
[10:58] <rww> Codesleuth: if not, add "ServerSignature Off" to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[10:58] <Jonii> I don't know
[10:58] <HA1DFO> Hi all. I'm trying to internationalize my drupal site, but the language selectin block seems a bit buggy for me. It displays languages, but the link points to the same location: my site URL without any /en, /hu, trailing language codes. What could be the problem?
[10:59] <histo> chalcedony: so firefox and opera both have the same behavior that the attach the wrong file?
[10:59] <chalcedony> histo, yes
[10:59] <histo> chalcedony: i'm assuming they invoke nautilus when you go to attach a file but I could be wrong.
[10:59] <Jonii> Oh well, I'll start backuping my D: :/
[10:59] <histo> Jonii: that's what I would do before proceeding
[10:59] <chalcedony> histo, hmmmm its in the selection of it, i click on it and it attaches something different that i didn't click
[11:00] <histo> Jonii: it's bad having partitions start and end on the same blocks. I'm sure testdisk will be able to fix it but i'd still back up
[11:00] <Prinler> If i do a lspci i can see the nic card i just installed into my box. Dlink. When i look in the network config no devices found it says.
[11:00] <Codesleuth> rww: thanks! it was in the security file, quick reload to rest...
[11:01] <Codesleuth> rww: yep, that did the trick
[11:01] <Codesleuth> thankyou!
[11:01] <histo> chalcedony: yeah but what application is that? The one you are selected the file from.  I'd run top and see what new pid pops up
[11:01] <rww> Codesleuth: welcome :)
[11:01] <chalcedony> histo hmmmm looking
[11:01] <Codesleuth> seems to be way more confusing for people like me now everything in apache2 is split over all these different configs
[11:02] <Codesleuth> just have to learn them I guess
[11:02] <snowrichard> its taking hours to back up this server.  I don't think i'll want to do this more than once a month lol
[11:03] <histo> chalcedony: I'm in xfce but when I click on choose file in gmail it invokes thunar for the popup window. If you're running gnome i'm sure it's calling nautilus
[11:03] <chalcedony> histo, kondemand/2 /1 /3 ?
[11:03] <histo> chalcedony: you running kde?
[11:04] <chalcedony> histo, i probably have some kde stuff - it's ubuntu 10.04
[11:04] <Yerushalmi> Has anybody here ever run their hard drive off an SD/SDHC card, and, if so, did it work out for you?
[11:04] <histo> chalcedony: oh well if it's 10.04 and you are running gnome. Then it's calling nautilus. So I'd file a bug with nautilus
[11:04] <chalcedony> histo, thank you :)
[11:05] <histo> chalcedony: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs
[11:06] <L4nce0> hey guys! so I'm having an issue with ubuntu. I'm running it as a VM, anyways, I did a hard turn off and now it wont connect to the network. networking is enabled.. the internet ( obviously) works. my settings for wired network ( which VB uses a virtual one) seems to have been erased. I just added it again, to no real avail. Ideas?
[11:06] <L4nce0> always happens during a big project right =)
[11:07] <Prinler> why did you hard off it?
[11:07] <L4nce0> it was in hybernate and I needed to change a setting
[11:08] <Prinler> well, now your impacience cost you alot didnt it.
[11:08] <L4nce0> yes yes lol
[11:08] <rideh> whats the best way to see what happened to my server at 4 am?
[11:08] <taran> when I run the command "hp-setp" it tries to connect to authorised HP server n than gives mesage "No netowrk connection". My proxy is correctly confiugured
[11:09] <Prinler> wish i could help you, more then just some late night rude remarks :p
[11:09] <L4nce0> hey, I hang out in c++ ircs, I'm totally used to it =P
[11:09] <Prinler> c++ lol so um 80's
[11:09] <L4nce0> that's also why I'll never be a linux guy. last update killed the touchpad and keyboard on my EEE. linux is like glass, just falls apart if you look at it wrong
[11:10] <histo> L4nce0: how are you trying to configure the network?
[11:10] <Prinler> yeah its kinda touchy
[11:10] <chalcedony> histo Error stating file '/home/llhull/ubuntu u-bug nautilus': No such file or directory
[11:11] <histo> chalcedony: what are you trying to do?

[11:11] <chalcedony> Press Alt+F2 to open the "Run Application" window, pictured above. Type ubuntu-bug <package name>
[11:12] <histo> chalcedony: yeah ubuntu-bug nautilus
[11:12] <L4nce0> histo: I'm going to the right hand network icon, I click wired 1, it tries to do something, fails. then sys > network, and click connect automatically. (why do I feel like I'm getting a Karma attack for all my years making fun of people as a computer tech..)

[11:12] <chalcedony> histo, Error stating file '/home/llhull/ubuntu bug nautilus': No such file or directory

[11:13] <histo> chalcedony: uhmm no space
[11:13] <histo> chalcedony: ubuntu-bug nautilus  notice the hyphen
[11:13] <chalcedony> oh i see
[11:13] <chalcedony> ty histo
[11:13] <L4nce0> I wouldn't doubt it. I might just have to finish this on my laptop.. I swear I don't program, I just get software to work
[11:14] <chalcedony> histo, its working
[11:14] <L4nce0> placing my workspace in drop box makes my life so easy, in these situations
[11:14] <snowrichard> L4nce0,  looks like it got an ipv6 address ok
[11:15] <syskk> how do I install a 32 bit libnotify on 64 bit ubuntu?
[11:15] <histo> L4nce0: I'm not sure how vbox does all it's networking stuff on the host to the guest but i'm assuming that's where you problem is. Especially if the guest can't dhcp
[11:15] <histo> L4nce0: #vbox  maybe of help
[11:15] <L4nce0> good point.. I'll see if they know! thanks
[11:15] <histo> L4nce0: ubt I would shutdown the guest and reboot the host and restart virtualbox etc...
[11:16] <histo> L4nce0: if you were using a linux host then that's different. You can restart the kernel module for vbox without rebooting
[11:17] <L4nce0> I think I'll try just reinstalling vbox, the OS is a file on the desktop, so it should still work
[11:17] <Yerushalmi> Has anybody here ever booted and run their hard drive off an SD/SDHC card, and, if so, did it work out for you?
[11:18] <magnetron> !anyone | Yerushalmi
[11:18] <sp4z> yerushalmi; i have. it was awesome
[11:18] <L4nce0> oh hey, while I'm here.. What's the best / easiest way to get a ubuntu distro with all the programmer tools already set up? ie, has gvim, eclipse, bluefish, all basic editors installed
[11:19] <Pumpkin-> Yerushalmi: works fine, but I don't recommend using it "normally". You don't want to eat all your SD write cycles up by having swap on it for instance.
[11:19] <Yerushalmi> magnetron: My next question (the real one) was already included in that line :P
[11:20] <Yerushalmi> Pumpkin-: but if my swap is on my internal hard disk, having my main drive on the SD card shouldn't be a problem?
[11:20] <magnetron> LA9KSA: make a list of the packages you need and install them with apt-get or so. you can use 'dpkg --get-selections' to construct such a list.
[11:20] <L4nce0_> sorry if you replied to me, network got reset with vbox install
[11:20] <silverarrow> Ubuntu has really come a long since I used it a few years a go
[11:21] <silverarrow> it shows online TV fine, managed by Totem I think
[11:21] <Pumpkin-> Yerushalmi: should be fine + works for me.
[11:21] <L4nce0__> .. sorry, happened again...
[11:22] <syskk> how do I install a 32 bit libnotify on 64 bit ubuntu?
[11:22] <magnetron> LA9KSA: make a list of the packages you need and install them with apt-get or so. you can use 'dpkg --get-selections' to construct such a list.
[11:23] <L4nce0__> yay it works! the vbox application needed to be reinstalled..
[11:23] <Yerushalmi> Pumpkin-: I ask because I'm having major corruption issues, which I suspect is because I'm reaching the read-write cycle limit on the SDHC card, as you just mentioned. I had spent two months when I first got the computer trying (and failing) to teach Linux to use it as a swap file to which to hibernate, so I want to know if my corruption problems are because of that experiment or because of...
[11:23] <Yerushalmi> ...my new (current) configuration where my swap is on the internal drive. In other words, if I buy a new SDHC card and don't try the swap experiment anymore, is this likely to happen again? Or is mine just screwy because I killed itt?
[11:23] <silverarrow> syskk, yes there are something that manages that, something like chrome
[11:24] <silverarrow> how to make totem show DVDs flowing nicely?
[11:24] <silverarrow> it is very jerky now
[11:24] <silverarrow> any idea?
[11:26] <syskk> silverarrow: what do you mean?
[11:26] <greenm0nk> can the alternate iso be installed via a usb? (i see a lot of posts about it asking cdrom during install)
[11:26] <silverarrow> when I stick a DVD film, into the DVD rom and play it in Maverick's default Movie player (totem) it plays very jerky
[11:27] <silverarrow> syskk, I just read about that yesterday somewhere,
[11:28] <silverarrow> this is too dopey for me, I need to get some fresh air
[11:28] <indian_munnda> hi guys, i have a very general career query. Shall i ask it here????
[11:28] <silverarrow> yes?
[11:28] <elderman> greenm0nk, looks like it: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installation%20without%20a%20CD
[11:29] <indian_munnda> silverarrow: what should i choose in between Linux Admin or .NET Development?
[11:29] <silverarrow> hard to advice really
[11:29] <Pumpkin-> that is about as offtopic as it is going to get here. I also suspect in this channel you will get very biased answers :)
[11:30] <indian_munnda> silverarrow: thats why i came here ,,,,really confused
[11:30] <bazhang> !ot | indian_munnda
[11:30] <silverarrow> lol
[11:30] <indian_munnda> bazhang: sory for that but i am really confuse can u suggest some channel for that
[11:31] <silverarrow> hi bazhang,
[11:31] <bazhang> indian_munnda, #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[11:31] <greenm0nk> indian_munnda: i guess there's no such channel on FreenodeIRC for confused people :P
[11:31] <indian_munnda> greenm0nk: lolzz
[11:31] <silverarrow> bazhang, which DVD player runs more smoothly in Maverick?
[11:31] <silverarrow> Totem is very jerky
[11:32] <shrek> smplayer
[11:32] <silverarrow> I am still impressed by the online TV streaming  very nicely in totem
[11:32] <bazhang> silverarrow, never had an issue, mplayer perhaps
[11:32] <silverarrow> I see
[11:33] <silverarrow> maybe there is some kind of tweake for totem
[11:33] <elderman> greenm0nk, also if you try installing the alternate iso and it works, update the wiki to make it more obvious to people that it's possible.
[11:33] <silverarrow> every thing is rather newly installed here, but I have most of the restricted packages I think
[11:34] <silverarrow> are there extra driver packages particular for totem and hardware DVd/CD rom?
[11:36] <silverarrow> I shall have to come back later, I am fed up with Maverick updates and package adding
[11:36] <silverarrow> I like the Ubuntu manual
[11:37] <Prinler> how does one stop the xserver and drop into just a console?
[11:38] <iflema> Prinler:    sudo service gdm stop    =)
[11:39] <Prinler> thats right
[11:39] <Prinler> iflema,  can ya help me out a min?
[11:39] <Prinler> i think this applies to me http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Configuring_Analog_Sound_DVI_to_HDMI
[11:39] <Prinler> So im trying to follow it.
[11:39] <k4g6> Prinler: or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[11:39] <Prinler> I pressed um alt-f2
[11:40] <Prinler> Im now at a console
[11:40] <Prinler> when i attempt to reopen the xserver is says crap about already being open
[11:40] <greenm0nk> elderman: sure. actually i'm helping a friend install linux on his old comp. I'm on ubuntu already :)
[11:41] <Prinler> shoot as soon as i said that it worked lol AFK a min
[11:43] <mousework> what should be done if ##php gives ##overflow??
[11:44] <elderman> greenm0nk, glad to hear it.  Is that feasible? I know I can install gentoo from it but I am currently lacking some knowledge about the ins and outs of ubuntu. specifically about the bootloader. which one does it use?
[11:50] <Klaus_Dieter> gnubala: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[11:51] <gnubala> klaus_Dieter: in that where is flops. i cant find it will you tell
[11:51] <BajK> What is the cause for kdm and(!) kde not starting up properly if there is an invalid sdcard (i.e. an empty microsd to sd adapter, adapter plugged in without sd card plugged in)
[11:52] <Klaus_Dieter> sorry its mips in there not flops, my bad
[11:52] <BajK> I just store it plugged into the sd card reader, so I cannot lose it. But whenever it is plugged in without the microsd card (which is in my smartfone) neither kdm starts up automatically nor kde starts up
[11:53] <Klaus_Dieter> gnubala: ^
[11:53] <gnubala> k_D no prob
[11:53] <BajK> so startup takes a bit longer and then I'm just dropped to tty1 shell login with some kernel errors messages sr0 read error or something.
[11:53] <gnubala> klaus_Dieter: any other idea?
[11:53] <BajK> if I log in and to sudo kdm then x starts up but then kde just doesnt start up, it hangs at the first loader icon. as soon as  Iplug out the adapter (and back in directly afterwards) it starts up just fine and works fine then
[11:58] <k4g6> this is the most dead ive seen this channel
[11:58] <ResQue> anyone have any info on controling fan speed on a macbook pro 3,1

[11:59] <k4g6> ecinx3: using grep
[11:59] <ResQue> k4g6, yes ubuntu 10.10
[11:59] <ecinx3> grep?
[12:00] <bazz> i've installed a package from source (using apt-get source and then building the .deb).  now update manager keeps telling me there's an update, even though it's the same version i have installed from source.  what to do to get it to stop?

[12:04] <koppe> Any good suggestions for recovering/rewrite a MBR I accidentally overwrote?  3 primary and 3 logical partitions...  Really would like know where they each begins and ends...
[12:05] <Gwar_Trolle> Does anyone know a place where I can host a simple HTML file that people can access Directly (like how I can direct link a image hosted on imgur)?
[12:05] <qianguozheng> bvjh
[12:05] <sogeking99> hey guys, i just uninstalled ubuntu and when i restarted it didn't boot into windows, instead i get this "error: unknown file system" grub rescue>"
[12:05] <bazz> Gwar_Trolle: put it in a dropbox Public folder
[12:05] <Prinler> still cant open the file
[12:05] <Prinler> lol
[12:05] <Fuchs> sogeking99: if you have no other operating system than windows, you might want to restore the windows boot loader
[12:05] <sogeking99> what can i do? so much important data too lose
[12:05] <Fuchs> sogeking99: you can do so with an original windows cd and the recovery mode, but better ask in ##windows.
[12:06] <Prinler> why cant it open it?
[12:06] <g0bl1n> where can I copy some new font files to ?
[12:06] <g0bl1n> to make them usable by gVim, etc ?=
[12:06] <g0bl1n> I have them locally already
[12:06] <sogeking99> i dont have my original cd
[12:06] <Fuchs> sogeking99: well, then you can use a ubuntu system to install grub, but grub will need a partition with some files on it
[12:07] <Fuchs> sogeking99: do you have a linux system remaining, or only windows?
[12:07] <Fuchs> sogeking99: of course you can as well boot any live system and backup your windows files.
[12:07] <sogeking99> i only have windows now
[12:07] <g0bl1n> .font folder
[12:08] <Fuchs> sogeking99: then you better ask in ##windows on how to do a fixmbr or similar, depending on the windows version in use.
[12:08] <sogeking99> ok thanks
[12:09] <ManDay> Can I overwrite the medium from which currently run a live version?
[12:09] <sogeking99> can i open ubuntu from live cd and change default boot loader to windows one?
[12:09] <ManDay> I'm suspicious because its mounted RO
[12:10] <Fuchs> sogeking99: no
[12:10] <Fuchs> sogeking99: you need a windows cd in order to put the windows bootloader in the master boot record
[12:10] <silverarrow> hi again
[12:10] <Fuchs> sogeking99: the two alternatives which can be done from an ubuntu CD are written above.  1) backup your files, reinstall  2) install grub, chainload to the windows loader
[12:11] <Fuchs> sogeking99: but restoring the windows bootloader is definitely the recommended version if you only want to run windows. You can contact microsoft in order to get a CD if you have a valid key, but again, better ask in ##windows
[12:11] <sogeking99> how can i install grub?
[12:11] <arand> ManDay: I don't think that would work, no, you can run the liveCD with TORAM=yes if you want to though.
[12:12] <sogeking99> i have my backup disk but its on c:, stupid i know
[12:13] <lillecarl> sogeking99, you cannot reack your windows partition?: P
[12:13] <ManDay> arand: TROAM?
[12:13] <ManDay> oh
[12:13] <ManDay> TO-RAM
[12:13] <ManDay> i see :P
[12:13] <FloodBot3> ManDay: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:13] <silverarrow> how stable is Ubuntu? Is it nomal to have the same installation of Ubuntu for like three years as many windows machines do?
[12:13] <lillecarl> hey sogeking99 do you have any external drive?
[12:14] <silverarrow> my machine is not that stable really
[12:14] <sogeking99> lillecar, i dont understand what  you mean?
[12:14] <lillecarl> external storage device
[12:14] <lillecarl> do you have any?
[12:14] <sogeking99> i have a flash drive
[12:14] <lillecarl> on how many GB?
[12:14] <red> how would I run a command to find every .gz file and unpack those to where they reside?
[12:14] <sogeking99> 4gb
[12:15] <red> I think I've made a bobo
[12:15] <iflema> silverarrow: LTS versions are for 3 years on the desktop, 5 4 server, 10.04 is current LTS
[12:15] <lillecarl> okay, well thats ptobably less then your backup files
[12:15] <red> my installation folder structure of redmine has all its filed changed to .gz heh
[12:15] <frogzoo> how to create chapters for a DVD?

[12:15] <silverarrow> I'm not shore why
[12:16] <bublegum> hello, I have a raid related problems.. can someone help me?
[12:16] <silverarrow> it seems that Ubuntu is much weaker to get compromised by using the off button that abruptly shots down

[12:22] <Jonii^> Bwahahahahahahahahaa
[12:22] <Jonii^> Seriousl though, how do I install ubuntu to my netbook? No CD-drive
[12:23] <magnetron> Jonii^: using a bootable USB drive
[12:24] <Jonii^> Ok.
[12:24] <Hydriz> you can only install using a CD drive...
[12:24] <Jonii^> Next question, how do I write Japanese in Ubuntu?
[12:24] <lillecarl> Hydriz, thats not true
[12:24] <Hydriz> maybe, I am not that sure
[12:24] <lillecarl> you can install operating systems from usb
[12:24] <Hydriz> and Windows too
[12:25] <lillecarl> yeah? :P
[12:25] <Hydriz> installing as a program
[12:25] <Hydriz> maybe

[12:25] <stevecam> my right click on my mouse isnt working, is there something i can reset to bring this back to hopefully bring this to functionality
[12:26] <magnetron> stevecam: why isn't it working
[12:26] <lillecarl> stevecam, how often do you hit something with your mouse? ;)
[12:26] <stevecam> its a new mouse, nevermind, it is working now
[12:26] <lillecarl> -.-'
[12:26] <stevecam> i have noticed that ubuntu has some weird and wonderful HID issues
[12:26] <lillecarl> you needed to put it in the usb? ;)
[12:26] <magnetron> Jonii^: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JapaneseInput
[12:28] <magnetron> stevecam: why wasn't it working, and how did you fix it?
[12:28] <iceroot> how to get the groupname for a guid?
[12:29] <sogeking99_> so if i reinstall grub i should besorry lill, client crashed
[12:29] <nathanael> does anyone here know how to configure a wireless card on a headless ubuntu server
[12:29] <magnetron> iceroot: either you use the tool in the Administration menu
[12:29] <iceroot> magnetron: no gui of course
[12:29] <sogeking99_> sorry
[12:29] <sogeking99_> client crashed
[12:29] <iceroot> magnetron: users came from slapd/nscd
[12:30] <magnetron> iceroot: or you just look in /etc/group
[12:30] <mbucket> Anybody here know about the "screen" command? I am trying to reattach a screen but I want the output to pipe to a grep command, something like "screen -r|grep error" and only display lines that contain the string 'error'
[12:30] <iceroot> magnetron: slapd/nscd is not writing to /etc/group
[12:30] <red> using: "find |grep [.]gz|xargs unp" unpacks all found files from subfolders into the folder I ran unp from
[12:30] <red> not where the gzip resides
[12:30] <red> how can I achieve the latter?
[12:30] <magnetron> iceroot: well, we only provide support for ubuntu here
[12:31] <sogeking99_> lill?
[12:31] <red> mbucket: you can run a command in a screen I think
[12:31] <iceroot> magnetron: of course slapd/nscd is a supported way, so if you dont know the answer...
[12:31] <red> not sure
[12:32] <mbucket> red: -X            Execute <cmd> as a screen command in the specified session.
[12:32] <mbucket> red: how would that help me?
[12:32] <iceroot> magnetron: the correct answer was "getent groups" which is also reading nscd/slapd
[12:33] <mbucket> screen -x|grep error
[12:33] <red> mbucket: I think I understood your question wrong then
[12:33] <red> case matters though
[12:34] <mbucket> yeah I know, I just tried "screen -X capt grep error" didn't work :-/
[12:34] <Cradam> hi has anyone booted a wubi install of ubuntu from grub4dos?
[12:35] <magnetron> mbucket: screen is interactive, you can't pipe the buffer content anywhere. but you can either log it to a file or search for it, there's builtin functionality in screen for this
[12:35] <mbucket> oh you are right
[12:35] <kyo> what's the differences between libreoffice and openoffice?  thanks
[12:36] <red> using: "find |grep [.]gz|xargs unp" unpacks all gzip files from subfolders into the folder I ran the find from -- how can I get them extracted in their original folders? There are over 4000 files and few hundred folders so I'd rather not do it by hand.
[12:36] <Cradam> kyo, not a lot if you only need basic functionality
[12:36] <gnomefreak> kyo: not much since OO.o is being phased out as i understand it
[12:36] <magnetron> kyo: currently, not much. except they're developed by different groups with different philosophies
[12:37] <Cradam> i use google docs because it takes ages for me to open a word document any other way
[12:37] <kyo> is libreoffice compatible with ms office better?!
[12:37] <elisa87> how can I install cosmosScope(cscope) in ubuntu?
[12:38] <gnomefreak> kyo: same as oo.o
[12:38] <mioumioule> salut

[12:38] <mioumioule> caca
[12:38] <magnetron> kyo: libreoffice is same as go-oo.o, those two are both better than oo.o

[12:40] <sacarlson>  red: seems my compressed files were always relative to where I compressed them.  in my case the compressed tar in my case would have no record of it's real base location
[12:41] <mok0> Hm, when I activate visual effects, I lose the window manager
[12:41] <red> sacarlson: yes I realize that
[12:41] <red> but the fix for that would be to run unp in the directory where the .gz resides in
[12:42] <Cradam> hi has anyone booted a wubi install of ubuntu from grub4dos?
[12:42] <red> the zips are all in the folders where the files are supposed to be

[12:42] <irfan_> how can i use wifi on my laptop ?

[12:43] <red> thisdir \\ currentdir
[12:43]  * gnomefreak thought metacity was replaced with compiz as WM when compiz was enabled
[12:43] <magnetron> mok0: install the "fusion-icon" package, run it and use the icon in the notification area to reload the window manager
[12:43] <irfan_> let me try
[12:43] <irfan_> thnx
[12:43] <red> gnomefreak: it is if you use --replace
[12:43] <sacarlson> red: yes sure if they are already located at there root then I guess you could just uncompress them with no problem
[12:43] <red> sacarlson: thats what I am aiming for -- but how :S
[12:44] <red> i dont want to type and traverse through hundreds of folders
[12:44] <sacarlson> red: I think you might what a script that will cd into the dir then uncompress it if found there
[12:44] <red> i guess
[12:45] <ekt90> anyone have the game megaglest? doesnt seem to work
[12:45] <sacarlson> red: I'm not sure I never played with gz in this way

[12:53] <crlcan81> reason I ask if anyone runs that is because I'm trying to do the necessary patching to get g110 running as close to properly as possible. I have super key running fine, as well as media keys, without any kind of special driver. I don't have the onboard audio though, even though I know the g keys won't work as their own.

[12:58] <crlcan81> I think he's talking about missing fonts
[12:58] <koulchilebaiz> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCS7_Kgfxto  :D
[12:58] <shane4ubuntu> is there any special way to start ddclient as a daemon?  or is it automagic?  is it in the ddclient.conf file or the way it is started?
[12:58] <bazhang> Lcawte, screenshot please
[12:58] <magnetron> Lcawte: if you can't be more specific then i can't really help you
[12:58] <bazhang> koulchilebaiz, dont paste here
[12:59] <Lcawte> magnetron: I can't be more specific because I don't know whats causing them, it happens in dozens of applications..
[12:59] <crlcan81> you say they're d iamond like boxes.
[12:59] <crlcan81> do you mean they have diamonds inside the boxes where the text should be?
[12:59] <Gwar_Trolle> Does anyone know a place where I can host a simple HTML file that people can access Directly (like how I can direct link a image hosted on imgur)?
[12:59] <magnetron> Lcawte: if you don't know in what applications this happens, or what documents you have opened, then it's a lost cause
[13:00] <magnetron> Gwar_Trolle: any paid web hotel
[13:01] <momeen> hi,i want to install ubunto alternate version i have iso file.i used unetbootin for extraction but there no option there for ubunto alternate version.will any one tell how to extract that.
[13:02] <red> Still looking for a help to achieve a script to go through all subfolders and run unzip for all .gz files found in the folder.
[13:02] <momeen> gor gwar_trolle  you can use webs.com
[13:02] <magnetron> red: a bash script?
[13:02] <shell> im using Lucid 10.04, is there a list of available Ubuntu repositories so I can update sources.list please? I keep getting an error when doing apt-get update W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/jcubic/jcubicppa/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[13:02] <momeen> for gwar_trolle you can use webs.com
[13:02] <red> magnetron: perhaps, or just xargs
[13:03] <magnetron> red: #bash
[13:03] <red> magnetron: find |grep [.]gz|xargs sudo unp
[13:03] <Gwar_Trolle> momeen: I'm not trying to make a webste, I am just wanting to host a list of links that people can click on
[13:03] <red> this nearly worked but it ran the unp commend from the directory I started the find
[13:03] <red> magnetron: resulting in all the subfolder zips getting unpacked to the root folder I ran the find from
[13:04] <magnetron> red: yes, you've told us countless times
[13:04] <red> guess I'll head over to bash
[13:04] <red> been banging my head on this for a hour to no avail :P
[13:04] <selator> shell: try the main ubuntu server
[13:04] <shell> nevermind, i just removed the broken link files in sources.list.d
[13:04] <shell> i guess they were causing the error
[13:05] <vagner> идите нахуй
[13:05] <bazhang> !ru | vagner
[13:05] <Pumpkin-> red: very ugly, not the most efficient solution, but the one I could think of in 60secs. for X in `find . -type d`; do echo cd $X; echo unp *gz; done
[13:05] <momeen> >	hi,i want to install ubunto alternate version i have iso file.i used unetbootin for extraction but there no option there for ubunto alternate version.will any one tell how to extract that.
[13:05] <Pumpkin-> check that does what you need, then remove the echos to actually do it
[13:06] <crlcan81> Does anyone know how to patch libg15 to get it working for g110 keyboard?
[13:06] <Pumpkin-> (it won't work actaully, but fixing it should be easy) :)

[13:08] <BuggyDE> Lcawte: are the diamonds with ? overlaid on teh screen?
[13:08] <azizLIGHTS> how do i disable the showing of /etc/motd at beginning in login but instead show it upon launching of bash (so that it shows on every bash creation like when i open a new window for screen)
[13:09] <azizLIGHTS> will this also then show it upon login, technically?
[13:10] <crlcan81> Is there any other way besides liveCD gparted to expand the currently mounted drive, either swap or the entire partition, into freespace?
[13:10] <azizLIGHTS> how do i disable showing of /etc/motd?

[13:13] <zamba> i've got terrible throughput with X forwarding.. does anyone have any idea why?
[13:14] <popey> zamba: have you enabled compression in ssh?
[13:14] <silverarrow> does anyone know lubuntu?
[13:14] <Sulumar> Greetings$
[13:14] <yuskhanzab> is there any software like internet download manager in ubuntu that can detect all file like flv,avi and have trayicon so that file can be easily download from a web browser?
[13:15] <popey> yuskhanzab: downloadthemall is a firefox extension which may help
[13:15] <silverarrow> I have tried the "lubuntu room, but not many there
[13:15] <stianhj> yuskhanzab, there are plugins for firefox that can do that
[13:15] <Chousuke> zamba: X forwarding isn't very efficient to begin with
[13:15] <stianhj> or what popey said
[13:15] <yuskhanzab> how about in chrome?
[13:15] <popey> zamba: use ssh -C to enable compression
[13:15] <bribroder> morning all!
[13:15] <yuskhanzab> i usually use chrome instead firefox
[13:15] <popey> yuskhanzab: dunno about chrome, but have a look for extensions which have keywords like download and video
[13:16] <stianhj> yuskhanzab, just search the chrome extensions
[13:16] <classical> hello ppl :)) I'm going to build dedicated backup server i have two Sata hdd there will be only backup nothing more so what Raid type is bes for me ? im planning to use raid 1 am is it good decision ? an what file system should i use for best performance ?   there will be continuous file writing/copping process so im afraid of hight load/io
[13:16] <popey> classical: i have exactly that setup, and use RAID 1
[13:16] <bribroder> raid 1
[13:17] <popey> classical: even though its only a backup server, I wouldn't want to lose my backups if a disk went phut
[13:17] <zamba> Chousuke: but this is terrible
[13:17] <zamba> popey: ok, i'll try
[13:17] <classical> popey, bribroder what about a file system type ?
[13:18] <Chousuke> zamba: if you have a high-latency link, it's going to be terrible whatever you do
[13:18] <popey> classical: i use ext4 on mine
[13:18] <researcher1> is there anybody who has HP LKaser Jet 1020  printer right plug-in installed ?
[13:18] <Chousuke> zamba: AFAIK the biggest problem with X isn't bandwidth, but the sheer number of roundtrips it requires
[13:18] <Chousuke> zamba: compression isn't going to help much with that :/
[13:19] <zamba> Chousuke: got a better alternative?
[13:19] <Chousuke> zamba: you might try using NX or something else more efficient than plain X forwarding.
[13:19] <zamba> Chousuke: NX is b0rked in ubuntu lucid
[13:19] <BuggyDE> classical: I think best file system would depend on what type and size of files you will backup onto it
[13:19] <zamba> Chousuke: using neatx-server
[13:19] <Chousuke> zamba: then you need to install a less borked version :) or try vnc.
[13:20] <popey> vnc over compressed ssh isnt bad
[13:20] <popey> not great
[13:20] <classical> BuggyDE, hdd's will be 1tb in size
[13:20] <popey> classical: same as mine :)
[13:20] <popey> classical: i use LVM on top of RAID 1
[13:20] <BuggyDE> how about opennx
[13:20] <classical> maybe xfs ?
[13:20] <BuggyDE> worked last time i tried it
[13:20] <mi_> hi
[13:21] <snowrichard> had trouble rebooting to the external drive...the previous kernel worked finally
[13:21] <classical> popey, what is the file system ? :)
[13:21] <lillecarl> SSH TERM = WIN :)
[13:21] <snowrichard> it could not mount root file system
[13:21] <BuggyDE> i would use riserfs for files over 2gb in size and ext4 for anything less
[13:21] <popey> classical: I use ext4
[13:22] <lillecarl> ext4 is still unstable
[13:22] <lillecarl> ext3 (Y)
[13:22] <jefelex> I still always use EXT3
[13:22] <BuggyDE> yeah i have had some issues with ext4 but nothing too serious
[13:22] <nisstyre> jfs > *
[13:22] <lillecarl> jefelex, thats good :)
[13:23] <jefelex> never had a problem with EXT3, why bother with EXT4 - doesn't look like it has any advantages
[13:24] <nisstyre> jefelex, it does have advantages but not for the home user
[13:24] <rcmaehl> I haven't had any problems with ext4
[13:24] <sipior> this is not a filesystem advocacy channel, to my recollection.
[13:24] <jefelex> no - I only just joined the channel, so I've got some catching up to do - don't mind my ignorance!! :-)
[13:25] <ConstantineXVI> is there by chance anything on ubuntu that can scan your music and spit out itunes's library.xml file?
[13:25] <monkeyD> hey guys, I have a SIS 661 VGA device and I did the glxgears test and it workes, but my desktopeffects dont work, I mean I cant activate them, ubuntu looks for VGA driver but it doesnt activate the desktopeffects
[13:25] <jefelex> I haven't seen one, but there probably is an Itunes adapter program somewhere
[13:27] <soreau> monkeyD: You wont be able to run compiz on SiS. glxgears means absolutely nothing
[13:28] <monkeyD> soreau: so there is no solution ?
[13:28] <soreau> monkeyD: My advice would be to get a Radeon card
[13:28] <Lint01> soreau, it's funny as sis cards can run games like WoW
[13:28] <soreau> Lint01: Does it support TFP?
[13:29] <monkeyD> soreau: I dont have the mondey
[13:29] <monkeyD> but what I want to know
[13:29] <monkeyD> I heared that the linux kernel is so flexibel and so great
[13:29] <soreau> monkeyD: Lint01: The driver must support GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap in order for compiz to work
[13:30] <soreau> Check the output of glxinfo
[13:31] <monkeyD> soreau: what sould I looking for in the glxinfo ?
[13:31] <soreau> monkeyD: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap
[13:31] <soreau> monkeyD: The linux kernel is flexible and great but it still cant make hardware perform miracles
[13:32] <soreau> SiS cards are simply not compiz-capable. VIA is the very lowlyest card I know that can run compiz
[13:34] <need> k
[13:34] <monkeyD> soreau: I mean thats just simple openGL work that the card have to do, dont understand why it has such a lot of problems or why there is not a alternative effekt
[13:35] <HHH> LOL
[13:35] <soreau> monkeyD: As I said, the driver must provide GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension for compiz to work
[13:36] <HHH> There is an alternative also for this driver
[13:36] <soreau> HHH: What driver?
[13:36] <HHH> all
[13:37] <thrope> i have a problem where my left alt key doesnt seem to work, but right alt works fine... I find the layout options a bit confusing - is there anything there that is likely to fix this
[13:37] <thrope> xev seems to show Alt_L and Alt_R correctly so I'm not sure why it isnt working
[13:37] <magnetron> thrope: which layout are you using
[13:37] <monkeyD> even if there is an alternnative HHH
[13:37] <HHH> this must be laptop ?
[13:37] <monkeyD> will it work with compiz ?
[13:37] <thrope> magnetron: United Kingdom
[13:38] <thrope> i am connecting through NX actually as well - but I dont think thats the issue because xev shows Alt_L correctly
[13:38] <soreau> thrope: Make sure to look at all the options http://www.zolved.com/synapse/view_content/28017/Fix_your_right_Alt_key_in_Ubuntu
[13:39] <thrope> soreau: I saaw that and I've tried 3rd level on and off for both left and right alt
[13:39] <soreau> thrope: You can also test if your wm has anything to do with it by trying a different one
[13:39] <thrope> it doesnt seem to change the behaviour
[13:39] <nightgoblin> thrope i have the opposite (using UK keyboard) R-ALT doesn't work, but L_ALT works fine - LOL
[13:39] <thrope> mainly want to use it for switching tabs in terminal
[13:39] <thrope> also no idea what '3rd lvel' is
[13:39] <soreau> thrope: Make sure USA layout is selected or whatever for your board
[13:39] <monkeyD> HHH: so what ?^^
[13:40] <magnetron> thrope: 3rd level is the level you access with the AltGr key
[13:40] <magnetron> thrope: also, which UK keyboard layout are you using
[13:40] <thrope> generic 105 key
[13:40] <magnetron> thrope: that's the keyboard type
[13:40] <histo> thrope: unless something else is bound to the left alt
[13:40] <magnetron> thrope: which keymap are you using?
[13:40] <histo> thrope: might be throwing a wrench in the works
[13:40] <thrope> histo: any way to find out
[13:41] <dhanesh> how can i check for bad sector in ubuntu
[13:41] <xxx> is bash_history broke in 10.10?
[13:41] <thrope> magnetron: how do I find out? in keyboard prefs I have UNited Kingdom, generic 105 key (intl) pc
[13:41] <Lint01> thrope, third level is altgr
[13:41] <soreau> thrope: Also, check this: gnome-keybinding-properties  <-- not in gui menu IIRC
[13:41] <xxx> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=842086 <- in 10.10 install, is bash_history broken?
[13:41] <thrope> ok - but anyway what ever I do to third level settings doesnt seem to make any difference
[13:41] <magnetron> thrope: what do you mean "intl"
[13:42] <thrope> oh wait no its started working
[13:42] <dhanesh> how can i check for bad sector in ubuntu?
[13:42] <jrib> xxx: why do you ask?  Why do you think it is broken?
[13:42] <soreau> thrope: gnome-keyboard-properties should show you the layout while -keybindings- will show you what key is bound to what
[13:42] <thrope> I switched third level to right win... didnt seem to change at first but now it is working
[13:42] <xxx> jrib: what are you asking me that question? It is a simple question, if you are confused, let me know about which part
[13:42] <thrope> oh no its stopped again
[13:43] <magnetron> thrope: /wc
[13:43] <sipior> xxx: mind your manners. the answer to your question is "no." does that satisfy you?
[13:43] <jrib> xxx: I'm confused because you link to a forum post from 3 years ago, so I'm not sure what is not working for you.  Can you say exactly what you are running/pressing, what you expected to happen, and what did happen?
[13:43] <monkeyD> soreau: so there is not a lite version or lite settings for compiz ?
[13:44] <xxx> sipior: so a default install should have session history saving working out of the box so to speak?
[13:44] <sipior> xxx: try it and let us know.
[13:44] <soreau> monkeyD: There is simple-ccsm for light settings but that will do nothing without compiz actually running. There is no light compiz
[13:44] <xxx> jrib: ls ~/.bash_history , expect: the file, got: no file, push up, get history from last session, got: nothing from last session
[13:44] <soreau> monkeyD: Your driver needs TFP
[13:44] <xxx> jrib: to be honest how cuold what I post affect the question? I say 2010 on the forum post date
[13:44] <xxx> *saw
[13:45] <xxx> sipior: are you being pedantic and have no idea?
[13:45] <monkeyD> soreau: sounds physical not software based
[13:45] <xxx> sipior: because you'd look very silly if you are
[13:45] <soreau> monkeyD: Yes, the driver doesnt support TFP because the hardware cannot do it
[13:45] <thrope> xxx: there is no problem with bash history on my 10.10 machines, both new install and upgrade
[13:45] <sipior> xxx: i'm saying it's easy enough for you to check this for yourself, and have no great desire to waste my time so that you may spare yours.
[13:45] <xxx> sipior: try it and let you know? no, I am asking if there is a known issue with bash_history, what is your problem exactly?
[13:45] <xxx> sipior: what is your problem with the question I am asking?
[13:45] <jrib> xxx: ok, let's ignore the forum post.  How did you install ubuntu? What did you do since install?  What packages did you install or remove since install?  Create a fresh new user, does the issue persist?
[13:46] <jrib> xxx: bash history should work by default.  This is what sipior was telling you
[13:46] <xxx> sipior: I am not wasting your time, in fact I most definitely want you to ignore everything I say from now on
[13:46] <sipior> xxx: easily done.
[13:46] <thrope> xxx: I would check permissions on your home dir
[13:46] <xxx> jrib: there are no known issues, sipior: good, because it has been hard for you until now
[13:46] <xxx> thanks thrope
[13:46] <xxx> no idea how a clean install can end up with no bash_history...
[13:47] <jrib> xxx: what do you mean by "there are no known issues?  Are you replying to one of my questions?  Which one?
[13:47] <xxx> jrib: just a clean install, installed emacs and build one package, then closed window, opened another, and wanted to grab something from history
[13:47] <monkeyD> soreau: I had xp before ubuntu and I had some desktop effects here with 3d effects like the desktop box and stuff like that, thats why its hard to belive that there is not another solution :(
[13:47] <thrope> xxx: hae you tried set -o history
[13:47] <thrope> maybe it is turnd off somewhere
[13:47] <xxx> jrib: only the parts with jrib: in front are for you
[13:48] <soreau> monkeyD: compiz does not run on windows. You must have a driver that supports TFP and obviously a card that can do it in the first place
[13:48] <xxx> thrope: yeah, I will try that, the problem is - next time I fresh install, do some stuff, I don't want to find out when I want the history that it stopped working
[13:48] <soreau> monkeyD: Whatever windows had was not compiz and it didnt require this opengl specification
[13:48] <soreau> monkeyD: Well actually its a driver spec but anyway
[13:50] <soreau> monkeyD: Its an opengl driver extension specification and SiS just cant do it
[13:50] <jrib> xxx: note that if you want to continue to troubleshoot, be sure to create the fresh new user using "adduser" (so that /etc/skel/ gets copied)
[13:50] <monkeyD> soreau: there are 3d porgramms like blender on other opensource stuff, I can use them and do fancy realtime things with it
[13:51] <sipior> i'm going to miss him.
[13:51] <jrib> ...
[13:51] <soreau> monkeyD: That doesnt mean anything. Just because you have direct rendering doesnt mean the card can do TFP all of the sudden
[13:51] <lillecarl> 1
[13:51] <sogeking99> how can i reinstall grub from boot disk?
[13:52] <thrope> so with my left alt key
[13:52] <ikonia> !grub2 > sogeking99
[13:52] <thrope> a difference between left and right in xev... right alt gives KerPress when I press and KeyRelease when I release (working correctly)
[13:52] <thrope> left alt gives Press and Release immediately
[13:52] <soreau> monkeyD: It is a special spec, written by davidr, the original compiz creator, with the help of some nvidia devs, specifically for compiz http://www.opengl.org/registry/specs/EXT/texture_from_pixmap.txt
[13:53] <thrope> so thats why its not working with chords
[13:53] <thrope> but any idea why that is?]
[13:53] <monkeyD> soreau: do you know Xcompmgr ?
[13:53] <soreau> monkeyD: no
[13:53] <soreau> monkeyD: The only thing you might be able to use is Xgl, that was also written by david reveman as an X replacement, before TFP got into the drivers
[13:54] <imi> hi
[13:54] <monkeyD> soreau: got a link with a tutorial ?
[13:54] <soreau> monkeyD: But Xgl is out of date and no longer maintained. The last version of ubuntu that shipped it was hardy or intrepid I believe
[13:55] <soreau> monkeyD: I dont even know if its possible since Xgl does some of the same things that TFP does

[13:57] <TheKoksi> I need help here..
[13:57] <soreau> monkeyD: Could be related to the graphics driver. You can get a compiz-capable gpu nowadays for under 20 bucks. Any radeon or nvidia made in the past decade should work
[13:57]  * TheKoksi Can someone help me, I need to connect on the Undernet
[13:58] <soreau> TheKoksi: /connect irc.undernet.org? Or ask in #freenode
[13:58] <monkeyD> soreai: or I use Xubuntu: it looks like its a gnome thing
[13:59] <soreau> monkeyD: what?

[14:02] <stpnicks> How can I find what old versions of an app are available? apt-cache show says there's only one, sources.list includes universe and multiverse entries, but I need a version not listed...
[14:03] <Jameees> so I've been using ubuntu (installed with wubi) for a while now and I've decided to install a fresh copy of ubuntu on a different hdd on it's own partition. And now when I boot into the fresh installation of ubuntu my internet isn't working any idea why ?
[14:03] <soreau> monkeyD: Fuchs is right though, there are other compositors that may work that do not require TFP to work. Even metacity has a compositing option
[14:03] <Jameees> It was working fine on the wubi instllation
[14:04] <monkeyD> soreau: I thought that kde needs less so I dont get this artifacts on my screen wihtout compiz, and I am using docky and I get a very black plane where is it and it all the time say that it need compiz
[14:04] <soreau> Jameees: How do you connect to the internet physically?
[14:04] <sogeking99> anyone know how i can reinstall grub?
[14:04] <jrib> stpnicks: what application?  What version?  Why?
[14:04] <Jameees> soreau, modem ethernet cable plugged into the back of the computer
[14:04] <soreau> monkeyD: Yea, compiz makes the linuz desktop work better :)
[14:04] <Jameees> not wireless
[14:04] <jrib> !grub | sogeking99
[14:05] <soreau> Jameees: Does ifconfig show your eth0 interface?
[14:05] <thrope> any idea why left alt would give an immediate keyrelease (exactly the same timestamp as the keypress)
[14:05] <Jameees> yes, it just doesn't connect
[14:05] <soreau> thrope: Maybe try #xorg
[14:05] <monkeyD> soreau: so what about metacity
[14:05] <jrib> thrope: ruled out hardware issue?
[14:06] <soreau> Jameees: Does ifconfig show that eth0 has an ip address?
[14:06] <stpnicks> jrib: librspec-ruby1.8, something compatible w 1.2.3, because of errors on some (~20%) tests because of version differences
[14:06] <soreau> monkeyD: Look in gconf-editor>apps>metacity and I believe there is a compositing bool you can set
[14:06] <soreau> monkeyD: But its nothing like compiz, it basically just puts shadows on the windows
[14:06] <monkeyD> soreau: with 3d effects ?:)
[14:07] <sogeking99> what i need is a way to install grub from a live cd(knoppix) so i can then boot windows
[14:07] <researcher1> whats the meaning of this http://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2&ik=6fd2d077ba&view=att&th=12e47d4783ce9efa&attid=0.1&disp=inline&realattid=f_gkf9fjni0&zw  my command line interface work well with internet
[14:07] <soreau> sogeking99: What does that have to do with ubuntu?
[14:07] <monkeyD> metacity has 3d effects soreau ?
[14:07] <jrib> sogeking99: read the link ubottu gave you and you can reinstall grub from the ubuntu cd
[14:08] <soreau> monkeyD: It has a compositing feature. You can call it 3D or whatever you want but there is no cube
[14:08] <krov> hi, can anyone tell me where i could find a driver for a cdma 1x mg880
[14:08] <sogeking99> i had ubuntu cd but it wouldn't start up
[14:08] <jrib> stpnicks: you won't find it in the official repositories.  You would usually only find the original universe package and then the -updates and -security versions.  Not sure what your best bet is for getting 1.2.3 of librspec-ruby1.8.  Are you sure it won't break other things?
[14:08] <soreau> monkeyD: kde has kwin that can run their version of the cube using xrender or opengl but its no compiz
[14:10] <krov> or could you please tell me how to configure it?
[14:10] <stpnicks> jrib: I'd hoped multiverse would have more, but looks like you're right.  I don't have anything else it could break :)  Sorry news if I have to downgrade Ubuntu to get compatible RSpec install!
[14:10] <dr_willis> krov,  what is that thing anyway?
[14:10] <AbhijiT> gdesklets giving error Could not import tiling module! and then hangs trying to connect to daemon
[14:11] <jrib> stpnicks: well you could grab an old package source and then build it on maverick (your other option is to look for a ppa, but I doubt this will prove fruitful)
[14:11] <dr_willis> AbhijiT,  last  i looked gdesklets was rather out of date. and it was rather flakey when it was being worked on.
[14:11] <krov> dr_willis: it is some kind of modem
[14:11] <AbhijiT> dr_willis, okay
[14:11] <krov> looks like a flash disk
[14:12] <dr_willis> the whole idea of 'widgits on the desktop' is getting to be a thing of the past. :)
[14:12] <Jameees> soreau: sorry, closed the client accidentally. eth0 shows an inet6 address, I'm guessing that's ipv6 ? I shouldn't have ipv6
[14:12] <MOSMarauder> Problem after WUBI Installation and frist reboot. Ubuntu cannot complete the Install/Config after 1st reboot. Error MSG: No root defined, use Partiton tool to correct.  root.disk and swap.disk are in place where they have to be
[14:12] <sogeking99> no one?
[14:13] <soreau> Jameees: I mean for example, 192.168.x.x ip address in the output of ifconfig eht0
[14:13] <soreau> eth0*
[14:13] <avashi1> someone please heelp
[14:13] <jrib> stpnicks: there's 1.1.3 in karmic and 1.2.9 in lucid.  If you really need 1.2.3, then you'd have to do some extra work (I can link you to a tutorial if you want to do that).  If one of those two version in karmic and lucid suffice, then grab the source package and build it for maverick.  In any case, you become responsible for maintaining the package on your machine
[14:13] <Pici> avashi1: You need to ask a question first.

[14:13] <andai> how do i migrate to 32bit ubuntu
[14:13] <Jameees> soreau: no, no ip address
[14:13] <andai> can i do it without reinstalling everything
[14:14] <soreau> Jameees: If it doesnt have an ip address, you have to set one then point the route and set the default gateway and nameserver. What is the ip of the router you are connected to?
[14:14] <dr_willis> andai,  clarify what you have now..
[14:14] <jrib> stpnicks: isn't it possible to update your code to the later version as well?  Don't you want to do that eventually anyway? (no idea what the specifics are about what you are doing)
[14:14] <andai> dr_willis: Maverick x64
[14:14] <andai> dr_willis: minecraft not working, lol
[14:15] <andai> want.
[14:15] <Jameees> soreau: I don't have a router, I'm using the modem that the ISP gave me, when I installed ubuntu with wubi, or when i did fresh installation of windows I didn't have to enter any address or install anything it worked by 'default'
[14:15] <soreau> Jameees: Well we need to know the internal ip of that modem
[14:15] <Fuchs> 1) minecraft definitely works on x64  2) yes, you would need a complete reinstall
[14:15] <a_> elo
[14:15] <GeekMan> i dont under stand what they mean in this . Edit /etc/init.d/ondemand and replace ondemand by userspace
[14:15] <a_> jest tam ktoś?
[14:15] <a_> ;>
[14:15] <andai> Fuchs: Minecraft LOADS to 100% then i see black and hear nothing too
[14:15] <stpnicks> jrib: the 1.2.* should work, looks like that's in Karmic and Lucid.  Yup, do want to upgrade the frozen versions, but that's a later task.
[14:15] <Jameees> soreau: why did the wubi installation detect it automatically ?
[14:16] <Fuchs> andai: are you sure that the problem is the architecture, and do you have any messages on the console when you launch it?
[14:16] <soreau> Jameees: It may have peeked at your windows config and used it
[14:16] <avashi1> please help.. I just installed cisco vpn client for linux but it does not show under Applications or Accessories.. where do I find it ?
[14:16] <andai> Fuchs: Web client, free
[14:16] <andai> Fuchs: no messages
[14:16] <andai> no idea what's wrong
[14:16] <Jameees> soreau: address of the modem is <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:16] <soreau> Jameees: If you can just get the internal ip of the router I can tell you how to make it work
[14:17] <Fuchs> andai: then I would test a live system first before switching architecture
[14:17] <soreau> Jameees: This should get you going: sudo route del default && sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> && sudo route add route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:17] <soreau> Jameees: Also you need to put this in /etc/resolv.conf:   nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>

[14:21] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:22] <Jameees> soreau: ok, i'll reboot and try it, thanks
[14:22] <a_> ello
[14:22] <soreau> Jameees: no
[14:22] <soreau> Jameees: No need to reboot
[14:22] <dr_willis> andai,  You may want to be sure you are using the SUN java. not the icedtea java.
[14:22] <Jameees> soreau: i do, i'm on windows at the moment
[14:22] <soreau> Jameees: Unless you arent running ubuntu currently :)
[14:22] <Jameees> on the same box
[14:22] <dr_willis> andai,  other thenn that.. no idea.  It's MCP, because Ubuntu won't mount it if its in MTP mode.
[14:27] <Roasted> Or autodetect for that matter.
[14:28] <alienkid10> I was directed to uninstall Network Manager while troubleshooting network issues how do I get it back now? I reinstalled it but it's icon doesn't appear
[14:28] <Roasted> alienkid10, is it as part of startup programs?
[14:28] <karlo94> which antivirus for linux do you people recommend ? (I know I do not need it for linux but I wanna scan my usb and else..)
[14:28] <sachael> is there a grub option to disable the ubuntu splash at startup? It's not booting and I need to find out why. Possibly it's the nvidia driver I uninstalled, what's the package called?
[14:28] <BluesKaj> GeekMan, a good app to ctrl cpu usage and settings , cpufrequtils
[14:28] <alienkid10> Roasted: don't think so how do I add it back in?
[14:28] <Fuchs> alienkid10: look whether nm-applet is running, if it isn't: start it
[14:28] <Fuchs> alienkid10: if that solves it: add it to your autostart
[14:28] <GeekMan> have you tried adding the netwrk manger indicator back on your task bar
[14:29] <Roasted> alienkid10, check out system - preferences - startup applications, see if netowrk manager is listed there and checked
[14:29] <Jameees> soreau: when I enter your command it asys SYOCALRT: No such process
[14:29] <Jameees> or something like that
[14:29] <alienkid10> Roasted: it's listed so i just run nm-applet in alt-f2 and it should come back?
[14:29] <Roasted> alienkid10, are you asking or telling?
[14:29] <Jameees> also I'm unable to access the <IP_ADDRESS> page in ubuntu, but i can in windows
[14:29] <soreau> Jameees: No problem. After you are done, you should be able to ping <IP_ADDRESS> and google.com
[14:30] <alienkid10> Roasted: asking
[14:30] <GeekMan> idk if that works the known issues page says powernowd is the only thing they think works
[14:30] <erUSUL> sachael: remove splash and quiet from kernel command line in the grub menu
[14:30] <Jameees> soreau, I can't
[14:30] <Roasted> alienkid10, I forget the exact entry to get it back - but give it a shot and see if it launches
[14:30] <erUSUL> sachael: press e to edit in grub menu
[14:30] <Jameees> I read something on the forums about disabling ipv6 or something
[14:30] <alienkid10> nm-applet is now running but no icon
[14:31] <GeekMan> but it tells me if i want it to be permenant to follow their instruction but i dont understand what they mean when they say . Edit /etc/init.d/ondemand and replace ondemand by userspace
[14:31] <Fuchs> alienkid10: maybe the systray is missing from your panel, try to re-add it
[14:31] <IdleOne> alienkid10: right click on the panel and add Indicator Applet, that should put it back on the panel.
[14:31] <soreau> Jameees: This should get you going: sudo route del default && sudo ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> && sudo route add route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> && echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf
[14:32] <alienkid10> IdleOne: indicator applet is there already Banshee's icon is sitting in it
[14:32] <soreau> Jameees: If not, try using network manager with ip=<IP_ADDRESS>, mask=<IP_ADDRESS> and gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:32] <printerwoes> hi, I have a lpd printer on a windows print server (comp-pr-1b) and am having great difficulty connecting to it. I can send jobs to it but they are not received, so when I log on to the printer (using my windows active directory credentials) no print jobs appear. any ideas?
[14:33] <adds666> Can anyone help with lack of sound issues?
[14:33] <alienkid10> I'll try relogging in. Then I've got another odd issue be back in a sec
[14:33] <IdleOne> alienkid10: err NetworkManager Applet
[14:34] <claint> hi, I have a quick question to anyone with 64-bit Ubuntu. A wiki page somewhere tells that 64-bit sun-java6-jre package does not provide /usr/bin/javaws. I am suspecting this to be false, as I have it in my 64-bit Debian. Can anyone check and confirm this so I can fix this suspectingly false information?
[14:34] <soreau> printerwoes: Does lpinfo show anything useful?
[14:35] <IdleOne> panel applets don't seem to have a naming scheme. least no easy way to know what includes what.
[14:35] <GeekMan> nvm LMAO Its working
[14:35] <gaire> !ciao
[14:35] <GeekMan> >_<
[14:35] <gaire> \list
[14:36] <BluesKaj> GeekMan, sudo /usr/bin/cpufreq-set -g ondemand or performance , either one but not both
[14:36] <GeekMan> thanks
[14:36] <printerwoes> soreu lpinfo shows nothing
[14:37] <GeekMan> what does on demand mean like auto scaling
[14:37] <KREDO> !wine
[14:37] <soreau> printerwoes: How does the printer connect to the machine?
[14:37] <printerwoes> soreu via the network
[14:37] <GeekMan> is wine (windows is not emulator) lol
[14:37] <soreau> printerwoes: Can you see it in the cups config browser page?
[14:37] <BluesKaj> !who | GeekMan
[14:37] <printerwoes> soreu what is that?
[14:38] <GeekMan> blueskaj ok
[14:38] <soreau> printerwoes: Oh well maybe you just need to address the ip of the printer
[14:39] <GeekMan> blueskaj: what does ondemand do
[14:39] <BluesKaj> GeekMan, ondemand is exactly as it says , when the cpu requires a faster speed to handle the load it ramps up it's performance to fit the need
[14:39] <Camarata> I rebooted Ubuntu and it just boots to command line.. no GUI.. help?
[14:39] <printerwoes> soreau, 1 sec, i am looking in the browser page
[14:39] <GeekMan> k
[14:39] <alienkid10> nope still not there
[14:39] <GeekMan> blueskaj thanks
[14:39] <adds666> Where is the best place to ask about some issues I have with my sound?
[14:39] <printerwoes> soreau, the printer itself has no IP, I am connecting to the pcounter queue on the print server, which the printer I log in to pulls the data from
[14:40] <alienkid10> nm-applet it running though
[14:40] <printerwoes> soreau, the way they work is that doc is sent to the pcounter queue, and then whichever printer you log in to pulls it from there
[14:40] <AbhijiT> adds666, now ask here it not solved then ask on ubuntuforums.org and askubuntu.com
[14:40] <BluesKaj> GeekMan, if you have dual core cpu or more then ondemand is ideal , you'll never notice the difference between on demand and performance
[14:40] <soreau> printerwoes: Well I hope you figure it out because that is really beyond my area of expertise
[14:41] <alienkid10> BluesKaj: remember my network problems? I fixed them with a simple power off unplug then wait 30 seconds replug and boot back up. Now I'm trying to get Network Manager's icon to come back
[14:41] <printerwoes> soreau, mine too lol!
[14:41] <g_0_0> alienkid10, have you tried resetting your panel?
[14:41] <GeekMan> blueskaj : what about ppc
[14:41] <GeekMan> blueskaj : g4
[14:41] <g_0_0> !resetpanels | alienkid10
[14:42] <dr_willis> GeekMan,  last i tried PPC linux.. it was rather lacking compared to the others.
[14:42] <BluesKaj> alienkid10, glad to hear it
[14:42] <ph88> [About C++] i'm trying to use a variable to indicate a the member of a struct. Like this:  struct.variable. Where i change the name of variable in a loop. But it gives me error: variable is not a member.
[14:42] <Osmodivs> My system is so messed up that im am gonna do a fresh install of 10.10, but I dont want to start all over again, In the past months I have downloaded tons of software and libs from Synaptic, Is there a way to keep all of this stuff and then install them in the new fresh install?
[14:42] <alienkid10> g_0_0: have not
[14:42] <GeekMan> i got it running really good on my ibook g4 10.04 LTS
[14:42] <andai> dr_willis: Okay, minecraft server is down for me, but i'm trying it out on another 3D game that used to not-work and it does now! Except... no sound now.
[14:42] <alienkid10> g_0_0: would have thought relogging would have done it
[14:42] <adds666> My Toshiba Satellite P100-429 does not play sound. The only way I can get it to play sound is to change ACPI=off however this obviously disables the power management and many a time ive lost work because I havent noticed the power cable was unplugged. Any body have any ideas?
[14:42] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  you can 'clone' a list of whats installed.. and reswinstall it easially
[14:42] <dr_willis> !clone | Osmodivs
[14:43] <Leon> hi
[14:43] <g_0_0> alienkid10, it may help but you'll end up with default panels - don't know if you've customized them or not
[14:43] <Guest28089> ?
[14:43] <Guest28089> warum heiß ich jetzt guest
[14:43] <andai> dr_willis: okay, minecraft back up. Now it doesn't even load.
[14:43] <alienkid10> g_0_0: afraid that didn't do it. Unless I now need to restart nm-applet? I didn't customize them much so no biggy
[14:43] <andai> :/
[14:44] <Guest28089> andai
[14:44] <andai> Guest28089: Guest28089
[14:44] <slipp3d> if i'm trying to use virt manager to create a Virtual machine why am i getting told that KVM is not available ... did i for get to install something?
[14:44] <Fuchs> Leon: this is the english channel, for german you can use #ubuntu-de. Regarding your nick: probably because it is registered, protected and you did not register if it is yours.
[14:45] <compdoc> slipp3d, how did you install it?
[14:45] <Guest28089> thank you i tried speaking german  :P
[14:45] <g_0_0> alienkid10, try - sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[14:45] <Osmodivs> dr_willis , I dont have another machine
[14:45] <alienkid10> g_0_0: already the newest version according to apt
[14:45] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  you generate a list of packages.. save it.. .. then use the list...
[14:46] <g_0_0> alienkid10, have you tried reinstalling it?
[14:46] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  or use it on other machines.. or whever you want.
[14:46] <ph88_> query if you can help me with a simple c++ question, thx
[14:46] <Osmodivs> dr_willis, That's what I dont want to do, DOWNLOAD all of that stuff again... Some one suggested APTonCD
[14:46] <alienkid10> g_0_0: I just installed it 2 mins ago since I uninstalled it when working with BluesKaj.
[14:46] <slipp3d> compdoc, i installed it via synaptic
[14:46] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  it wont work that way.
[14:46] <andai> Okay, no, x64 sun java plugin, minecraft DOES load for half a second then goes white
[14:47] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  the stuff you installed was in the apt cache.. for some time.. but most likely is not all there now.
[14:47] <Osmodivs> dr_willis, It wont?
[14:47] <alienkid10> g_0_0: will reinstall it though
[14:47] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  it will not 'remake' deb's from stuff you hae installed now ... it uses whats in the cache.
[14:47] <compdoc> slipp3d, the service needs to be running - forget, but I think its libvirt
[14:47] <Osmodivs> dr_willis, Oh no....
[14:47] <BluesKaj> alienkid10, I don't see the poiny of a nm id you're not using it
[14:47] <BluesKaj> if
[14:47] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  the best solution is to redownload it using that clone list.. you can  copy/restore your apt cache to save some downloads..
[14:48] <tdn> I experience extremely low I/O performance with 10.10 and LUKS even though I am on an SSD. What gives? I figure this is some kind of scheduling problem as it is not a problem for non encrypted partitions.
[14:48] <Osmodivs> dr_willis,  So I am gonna have to download all 100GB all over again!?
[14:48] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  I have to wonder WHAT all you installed that totaled 100gb..
[14:48] <compdoc> tdn, if you didnt create the partition correctly, you will kill performace, and kill the ssd
[14:48] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  i have fully loaded systems that are much smaller then that.
[14:49] <alienkid10> BluesKaj: I do use it from time to time since this install is on an external HDD and I sometime use it on laptops to connect to wireless.
[14:49] <Camarata> When I boot up Ubuntu goes to a command line asking for my password, no GUI, how do I fix please?
[14:49] <Osmodivs> dr_willis, Well, yeah, it's not that much, it 's my music and videos and other stuff
[14:49] <alienkid10> g_0_0: I reinstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome and it's asking to restart the system
[14:49] <IdleOne> dr_willis: I install almost everything I see mentioned in this channel and I'm at ~7gb
[14:49] <Osmodivs> dr_willis,  But still, more than 1GB for download is too much
[14:49] <Osmodivs> in one day
[14:50] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,    the 10.10.2 cd came out the other day. with most updates allready included. that can sacve some.
[14:50] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  do what you want..  check your cache. but stuff may no longer be in there.
[14:51] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  the 'best' solution for a small lan is to setup an apt-cache-ng server to cache packages for the whole lan. :) that saves lots of bandwitth
[14:51] <Osmodivs> dr_willis,  10.10.2, eh?
[14:51] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  yep. I think i saw that anouncement.. it may been 10.04.2 - i just skimmed it..
[14:51] <natarajan> hai
[14:51] <Osmodivs> dr_willis, Small LAN? like have another PC that serves as a CACHE storage?
[14:52] <dr_willis> proberly was 10.04.
[14:52] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  yes.
[14:52] <natarajan> hai i the new user of ubuntu
[14:52] <natarajan> I need help
[14:52] <dr_willis> natarajan,  and the actual problem is?
[14:52] <Osmodivs> natarajan: Google it!!! hahaha.... I always wanted to say that
[14:53] <natarajan> I'm having ubuntu & windows XP
[14:53] <AbhijiT> !google | Osmodivs
[14:53] <Osmodivs> natarajan,  JK, go ahead, ask the experts
[14:53] <tdn> compdoc, I guess it is created correctly. If not, there is a serious bug in the Ubuntu alternate installer -- I created the partition with the guided installer.
[14:53] <dr_willis> natarajan,  we can read full sentences. :) no need to break things down in to 5 word lines..
[14:53] <AbhijiT> natarajan, ask with all details in one sentence
[14:53] <AbhijiT> or line
[14:54] <natarajan> when my system has booting has many recovery files in ubuntu
[14:54] <compdoc> tdn, gparted does it correctly now - what you do is leave 1 meg of free space before the partition. this causes the first partition to start at secotr 2048
[14:54] <compdoc> sector
[14:54] <natarajan> how could i rectifive this
[14:55] <dr_willis> natarajan,  rephase the question.. on one line.. that made no sence how i read it...
[14:55] <compdoc> its called alignment, and something you have to do with most hard drives these days
[14:55] <natarajan> k Ji
[14:56] <BluesKaj> natarajan, do you mean recovery kernels in the grub menu ?
[14:56] <natarajan> pls take my system on your control and restart the pc you show the problem
[14:56] <ph88_> [about C++] i want to "dynamicly" point to members of  a struct, like this:  struct.variable ... but it treat variable as the name of a member of the struct instead of a variable... how can i fix this ?
[14:57] <dr_willis> natarajan,  we have no way to take controll of your system.. and we cant see if it we were to reboot it remotely...
[14:57] <dr_willis> ph88_,  there are programing specific channels.
[14:57]  * BluesKaj suspects a translator app is being used here
[14:57] <AbhijiT> lol
[14:57] <sipior> ph88_: there's a ##C++ you might want to try
[14:57] <bikcmp> hi all, I removed the top bar (which has the application menus) by accident.
[14:57] <dr_willis> !resetpanel | bikcmp
[14:57] <bikcmp> I'm using ubuntu desktop edition.  Any ideas on how to get it back?
[14:57] <Osmodivs> dr_willis, Why not use X11?
[14:57] <AbhijiT> natarajan, if you have problem with english you can try to get help in your language in #ubuntu-in
[14:57] <natarajan> k many of the recovery file has generate my pc
[14:57] <bikcmp> dr_willis: ah, thanks, you're a life saver :)
[14:58] <dr_willis> Osmodivs,  that wouldent make much sence either.  if hes trying to get us to see his boot menu...
[14:58] <bikcmp> dr_willis: worked, thanks.
[14:58] <dr_willis> bikcmp,  be carefull where you click now :)
[14:59] <BluesKaj> !in | natarajan
[14:59] <ph88_> dr_willis and sipior : i can not send text to the channel ##c++ and i don't know why (i'm using webchat.freenode.net)
[15:00] <sipior> ph88_: perhaps you aren't registered?
[15:00] <dr_willis> ph88_,  either it needs registerd nicks.. or it has webchat blocked.. ask in #freenode
[15:00] <andai> just installed 32bit java plugin. how  do i tell chrome/firefox to use it?
[15:00] <hrushi> hey!!!I am not able to compile linux module...I am using kernel version <IP_ADDRESS>

[15:00] <dr_willis> andai,  as far as i know. you restart firefox and it should do so.
[15:01] <ph88_> dr_willis and sipior : thx for the answer
[15:01] <klj613-> when i put my usb memory stick in, it automounts but I want to remount it with different permissions. I done this few days ago but now it wont work. When its unmounted i use "mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /media/usb" and it comes back as "no medium found on /dev/sdd" so i checked what the device was called when its mounted and its /dev/sdd1 so i tried that but it says "special device /dev/sdd1 does not exist" any help plz?
[15:01] <sipior> ph88_: no worries
[15:01] <hrushi> i m using command...make -c /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>/build M=$(PWD) modules
[15:01] <hrushi> can anyone help....
[15:01] <BluesKaj> hrushi, install build-essential
[15:01] <dr_willis> klj613-,  the /dev/sd## can change..
[15:02] <sunit> I am trying to install j2ee sdk in ubuntu 9.10 and I am getting error error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[15:02] <dr_willis> klj613-,  plug it in, check dmesg output, after a few moments. or try 'sudo fdisk -l' to see where its at.. or 'sudo blkid'
[15:02] <pinpin_> ubuntu have problem with my laptop touch pad
[15:02] <klj613-> fdisk -l shows it as /dev/sdd1
[15:02] <sunit> please help me
[15:03] <Camarata> Ubuntu 10.10 new install :: I had a fresh install and did the security updates and all that, rebooted and it was working fine last night, then I turned the computer on today and it goes to command line asking for username/password, not the Ubuntu GUI.  HOw can I resolve this please?
[15:03] <dr_willis> klj613-,  be sure you are using /dev/sdd1 and not /dev/sdd by mistake..
[15:03] <worS> test
[15:03] <klj613-> dr_willis: i unmount it, try to manually mount it (/dev/sdd1) and it says "special device /dev/sdd1 does not exist"
[15:03] <Norrlanning> Anyone knows how to successfully change the low-res bootsplash in Ubuntu 10.10? I think I have to edit the /lib/plymouth/ubuntu-text.so however that doesn't do it. I just edited it with ghex and tried it but I broke something by doing so. So now I'm back to scratch :-/
[15:04] <dr_willis> klj613-,  if fdisk shows it.. but /dev/sdd1 does not exist.. somthing is really messed up.
[15:04] <dr_willis> klj613-,  perhaps unplug it.. plug it back in.. check dmesg output for any errors..
[15:04] <geeko> Nooby linux question, running command pand -c connect (laptops MAC address) I just get connection refused. I have already ran pand --listen --role NAT
[15:04] <klj613-> dr_willis: fdisk shows it when its automounted but i need to unmount it. then mount it. fdisk doesnt show it when its unmounted
[15:05] <goguda> Hey guys... I've got a problem. I'm trying to compile an ARM toolchain, and I am getting the error: ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/local/bin/arm-elf-cc': File exists. Failed to create symlink (stage: makesymlink)
[15:05] <klj613-> dr_willis: i used a command the other day to show all devices (even unmounted one) but i cant remember that command
[15:05] <dr_willis> klj613-,  You are unmounting it via the command line?  or the gui.
[15:05] <klj613-> dr_willis: gui
[15:05] <g_0_0> Norrlanning, go to system-> administration ->start up manager
[15:06] <jotaSantana> hi ALL
[15:06] <dr_willis> klj613-,  theres menu items in the gui to 'unmount' or safely remove.. the safely remove - i think actually powers down the device 0- untill it gets reoved/reinsreted
[15:07] <stevecam> this channel must have the most amount of people in it on this server
[15:07] <dr_willis> klj613-,  i think the 'ntfs-config' tool can set it to not automount i belive.
[15:07] <klj613-> dr_willis: the way im unmounting at the moment is same as i did the other day when it actually worked. so i doubt its that. if so, which way should i unmount?
[15:07] <dr_willis> klj613-,  just unmount.. not safely remove.
[15:07] <klj613-> dr_willis: is there a way to configure the automount for rw,umask=0
[15:07] <Norrlanning> g_0_0: Thanks, I will try that soon when I log out of fluxbox :) don't know how to find it otherwise .-D
[15:08] <dr_willis> klj613-,  you could use the umount command also..
[15:08] <dr_willis> klj613-,  check the ntfs-config tool.. thats all i ever need to use.
[15:08] <compdoc> stevecam, we should throw a party
[15:08] <klj613-> dr_willis: ok thanks.
[15:08] <bubble_> can i switch to kde in ububtu ??
[15:08] <dr_willis> bubble_,  install kubuntu-desktop package..
[15:08] <dr_willis> bubble_,  you will then have both.
[15:09] <stevecam> compdoc, depends, what is your idea of a party
[15:09] <klj613-> dr_willis: the type is vfat. ntfs-config still configs vfat?
[15:09] <dr_willis> yes...
[15:09] <klj613-> ok
[15:09] <compdoc> stevecam, it would involve drugs and women
[15:09] <dermensch> linux sux
[15:09] <dr_willis> if that tool works right.. its a little flakey sometimes.
[15:09] <dr_willis> dermensch,  thank you.. have a nice day..
[15:09] <Camarata> dont feed the trolls, they'll move on somewhere else
[15:09] <dermensch> meanwhile at the apple headquarter: http://ffffunny.com/images/8035-meanwhile-at-apple-headquarters-
[15:09] <stevecam> compdoc, as long as we can involve ubuntu somehow we should be allowed to have it here
[15:10] <bubble_> dr_willis: inside ubuntu, i should install a kubuntu package ?
[15:10] <goguda> dermensch: If it wasn't for linux, we wouldn't be where we are in technology these days.
[15:10] <dr_willis> bubble_,  the package name is 'kubuntu-desktop'
[15:10] <IdleOne> !ot | stevecam compdoc
[15:10] <hrushi> I m trying to compile linux module..i m using kernel of version 2.6.36.
[15:10] <hrushi> I using command make -c /lib/modules/<IP_ADDRESS>/build M=$(PWD) modules
[15:10] <hrushi> and i m getting error
[15:10] <hrushi> PWD :command not found
[15:10] <FloodBot3> hrushi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:10] <llutz> hrushi: pwd lowercase
[15:10] <puck__> Hello
[15:10] <bubble_> dr_willis: and then how will i switch in between the two ?
[15:10] <hrushi> k..
[15:10] <dr_willis> hrushi,  be sure you are using bash, not sh?
[15:10] <dr_willis> bubble_,  login screen has a menu item
[15:11] <dr_willis> bubble_,  logical eh. :)
[15:11] <stevecam> IdleOne, you just said what i said, but in a very different way
[15:11] <puck__> I have installed ubuntu 10.10 and forgot my admin password please help to reset it
[15:11] <dr_willis> !resetpassword
[15:11] <pinpin_> there is no way
[15:11] <Jef91> My search function doesn't work in nautilus - it just shows nothing and doesn't search. Any ideas what is wrong?
[15:11] <Fuchs> puck__: there is no admin password, at least there should be none.
[15:11] <hrushi> dr_willis,how to check tht??
[15:11] <Camarata> dr_willis: if my computer boots to a command line asking to login instead of the normal login screen, how can i fix that.  this is a new install that was working fine after one reboot (which was after the updates)... Ubuntu 10.10
[15:12] <dr_willis> its easy to reset a password if you use a live cd and chrootin, or edit the password files..
[15:12] <IdleOne> !password | puck__
[15:12] <bubble_> dr_willis: wait i'll check that :)
[15:12] <Fuchs> puck__: you can boot in single user mode (hold shift while booting, choose recovery) and use the command   passwd username   to set a new one
[15:12] <puck__> Fuchs: I had installed two accounts one which is admin
[15:12] <dr_willis> Camarata,  and whats your video card? does 'startx' work?
[15:12] <Fuchs> puck__: you can reset it with passwd. See also the links posted by the bot
[15:12] <stevecam> there is an admin password, but it is random and the account is disabled
[15:12] <andai> is 7.5 gb enough to do a new install
[15:12] <Camarata> Asus UL50VT laptop with nVidia card.. it did apply a nVidia driver update! that is probably it
[15:12] <dr_willis> Hmm.. theres no admin (root) password by default.. its just disabled..
[15:12] <Camarata> it popped up asking me to update for nvidia
[15:13] <andai> is there anything lighter than Xubuntu that's officially supported
[15:13] <Gwar_Trolle> lubuntu maybe?
[15:13] <IdleOne> andai: Lubuntu but not official yet
[15:13] <dr_willis> andai,  theres lubuntu.. but not sure how official that is at this time.. it was supposed to be official. but i think it got pushed back
[15:13] <Camarata> dr_willis: brb trying startx, i am on my windows partition so ill brb
[15:13] <dr_willis> andai,  it is very good however. :)
[15:13] <Norrlanning> g_0_0: Doesn't seem to be possible to change the text. Just to enable or disable text. I want to change the default "Ubuntu 10.10" low res splash to something else..
[15:13] <Camarata> any other suggestions before i reboot?
[15:13] <dr_willis> Camarata,  learn to use a console based irc client. :) like weechat..
[15:13] <andai> dr_willis, IdleOne, would 64bit ubuntu use twice as much ram, in practice? is there really any reason to use it?
[15:13] <andai> i have 2gb
[15:13] <dr_willis> Camarata,  then you can irc  and try to fix it..
[15:14] <monkeyD> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0WcgK97WPk
[15:14] <k4g6> cya
[15:14] <Camarata> is irsii installed by default or such?
[15:14] <dr_willis> andai,  it does not use 2x ram.
[15:14] <Gwar_Trolle> Question: if 10.04 is an LTS, why aren't packages being updated for it?
[15:14] <jrib> !sru | Gwar_Trolle
[15:14] <dr_willis> andai,  if i have a astem that can do 64bit..  i use 64bit..
[15:14] <jrib> Camarata: nope, but you can install it
[15:14] <andai> i'm reading all over the internets that x64 uses twice as much ram
[15:15] <dr_willis> andai,  you are reading wrong.. it does not use 2x ram..
[15:15] <dr_willis> andai,  it Might use a little more ram.. but not much.
[15:15] <goguda> Guys, I'm having a problem building an ARM toolchain. Now I'm getting the error: - Building Newlib
[15:15] <goguda> Failed to build newlib (stage: newlib_build)
[15:15] <andai> dr_willis: "Expect the same applications to take twice as much RAM, so your situation is very similar to running 32 bit on 1GB RAM."
[15:15] <andai> :/
[15:15] <dr_willis> andai,  'citation needed'
[15:15] <soreau> Is there a way to rip a dvd to iso image in ubuntu?
[15:15] <andai> also ""I heard that with a 64 bit system you need twice as much memory as with a 32 bit system""
[15:15] <Fuchs> soreau: yes, multiple
[15:15] <BluesKaj> dr_willis, anyflash probs with 64 bit or do you just stick with html5 sites ?
[15:15] <andai> it sounds like all these people heard it from each other
[15:15] <andai> lol
[15:16] <surf> hi
[15:16] <IdleOne> soreau: ogmrip does it iirc
[15:16] <dr_willis> andai,  ive never noticed any differance in memory ussage.. when ive tried 32 or 64bit live cds
[15:16] <Slartibart> I get dmesg lines like "ufw block input ... src=annan_ip dst=min_ip .. spt=53 dpt=50000" Am I reading it right assuming that some other systems dns tried to connect to my computer?
[15:16] <soreau> Fuchs: I just want to grab the iso bits but I can't seem to figure out how
[15:16] <jrib> soreau: you could just use dd.  But you probably want to use something like vobcopy instead.  Also see ubottu
[15:16] <Fuchs> soreau: you can directly use dd, you can use any frontend such as k3b or brasero or rippers
[15:16] <andai> BluesKaj: Flash works fine on x64 (here at least). Minecraft... does not
[15:16] <andai> );
[15:16] <jrib> !dvd > soreau
[15:16] <dr_willis> BluesKaj,  i rarelyhave any 64bit issues with anything.. i dont do much flash . hulu works.
[15:16] <llutz> Slartibart: no, you get a dns-response
[15:16] <geeko> Bluetooth question, running command "pand -c connect (laptops MAC address)" I just get connection refused.
[15:17] <andai> dr_willis: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+%22uses%20twice%20as%20much%20ram%22
[15:17] <queso> Is there really a difference between desktop and server editions of ubuntu, or is the difference the default packages?
[15:17] <goguda> Anyone?
[15:17] <jrib> queso: default packages (including kernel)
[15:17] <llutz> andai: http://www.google.com/search?q=earth+is+flat
[15:18] <andai> llutz: lol
[15:18] <klj613-> dr_willis: ntfs-config doesnt show sdd1 (memory stick, vfat)
[15:18] <BluesKaj> andai, well thats good news , I may switch to 64bit the nest clean install then
[15:18] <andai> anecdotal evidence ftw
[15:18] <dr_willis> klj613-,  remove/reinsert it.
[15:18] <BluesKaj> err next
