[17:31] <Hilikus> socomm: just run the installation script
[17:31] <Lord_Rahl> xoc_, use sound recorder
[17:31] <xoc_> I tried that and on't get anything :(
[17:31] <mawst> xoc_, go to the sound properties and switch to the input tab.
[17:31] <ben_q> how can I check which dns-nameservers are used by my ubuntu server at the moment? (since it's not resolving addresses)
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> socomm: which nvidia chip?
[17:31] <socomm> xoc_: use gnome sound recorder?
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> ben_q: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[17:32] <socomm> ActionParsnip: not sure off top of my head
[17:32] <rusty149> ben_q: sudo ifconfig
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> socomm: lspci | grep -i vga    will tell you
[17:32] <mawst> ifconfig doesn't show name servers does it?
[17:32] <magicianlord> is the creative xifi sound card supported well in linux
[17:32] <Lord_Rahl> ifconfig -a
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | magicianlord
[17:33] <socomm> mawst: no
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: personally I avoid them, i've seen a lot of issues with them
[17:33] <socomm> mawst: it shows your hardware config
[17:33] <mawst> Yeah you need to cat resolv.conf
[17:33] <LSD|Ninja> Creative PCI cards don't work terribly well anywhere, truth be told
[17:34] <dAnjou> hey, do you know a tool that creates software usage statistics for me?
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> socomm: if it's later than an 8000 it'll run fine with this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-nvidia-260-19-12-drivers-in-ubuntu-10-1010-04-using-ppa.html
[17:34] <liminal> hello
[17:34] <magicianlord> ActionParsnip: with what
[17:34] <Cru_> i wondered if someone could help me.  I just installed a new hd and now when I log into ubuntu it nolonger boots into gui but just to the terminal screen for logging in.  Even when I unplug the added hd and have it originally it stays the same
[17:34] <magicianlord> what's the best notification daemon  for openbox
[17:34] <ben_q> ActionParsnip, can I add nameservers there manually?
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: getting them to work, usually you have to use OSS istead of alsa and such
[17:35] <liminal> my applications in ubuntu keep crashing, the logs show a 'seg fault' is likely due to faulty memory?
[17:35] <socomm> ActionParsnip: much ppreciated
[17:35] <socomm> liminal: could be
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> ben_q: yes but they will be removed when you next boot as network manager will change the file, you should add nameservers in network manaer / wicd / whatever gui app you use (if you dont use a gui manager you can simply edit the file0
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> ben_q: its fine to edit just to test but it will be changed back once you rebot
[17:36] <liminal> socomm here are my logs from chrome that seems to be crashing alot today
[17:36] <liminal> http://pastebin.com/k6HRYEsF
[17:36] <ben_q> ok, so on ubuntu server it will stay?
[17:36] <compdoc> how would you run a command as user spamd? spamd is also a program, so it errors if you use: su spamd
[17:36] <pr0ph3t> hi all, I have this 3g modem inbuilt, on windows it works fine, on ubuntu it does not register, the reason is it doesn't have reception, maybe the radio is off? How can I switch it on?
[17:36] <pr0ph3t>  there was a patch created to support this hardware and I am running the kernel 2.6.37 which definitely has it merged
[17:36] <pr0ph3t>  I can send AT commands to the modem and get responses, but it has no signal
[17:36] <pr0ph3t>  I can be in the exact same position in windows7 and it will register without a hitch, in ubuntu this doesn't happen
[17:36] <pr0ph3t>  with AT commands I get the response no carrier
[17:36] <FloodBot2> pr0ph3t: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:36] <pr0ph3t>  network manager wizard doesn't work please don't suggest that
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> ben_q: i believe so, not sure how network manager managers that stuff in server, I use wicd-curses in server to get a nice curses gui to networking :)
[17:36] <socomm> liminal: when was last time you updated your system?
[17:37] <socomm> liminal: also is it just chrome crashing, or other applications besides chrome
[17:37] <pr0ph3t> sorry about flood
[17:37] <DarkStar1> anyone here used CentOS or has to use it?
[17:37] <liminal> other applications are crashing also
[17:38] <pr0ph3t> please help
[17:38] <Wolfsherz> chrome is not an application, its a data collecting piece of ...
[17:38] <socomm> DarkStar1: I've used just about everything.
[17:38] <socomm> Wolfsherz: kids eat it up though
[17:39] <compdoc> DarkStar1, yeah
[17:39] <b0tz> I need some help just fixing a minor inconvinience, http://pastebin.com/PgMUeiPw I get this whenever trying to apt-get remove apache2* and any other apt-get process
[17:39] <DarkStar1> pr0ph3t: Wish I could but I haven't had to deal with a 3G modem.. Though I have had problems with wireless in the past on ubuntu.. Last time I just changed the network manager to another
[17:39] <b0tz> is there any way to fix this so this doesnt print everytime i use this
[17:39] <DarkStar1> socomm: Maybe you can help
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: if you use the chromium daily build, it'snot
[17:39] <socomm> DarkStar1: ask
[17:40] <DarkStar1> socomm: I installed tomcat5 using yum but I don't know where it's installed it. Not only that. the locate command doesn't work for some odd reason
[17:41] <socomm> DarkStar1: you need to run updatedb
[17:41] <liminal> chrome, chromium and firefox
[17:41] <DarkStar1> socomm: I afk installed it yesterday before I went to bed
[17:41] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: why would i use those... the philosphy behind google should be enough for everyone to just stay away from them where possible.
[17:41] <socomm> DarkStar1: you can alsy try "find /usr/ --iname \*tomcat\*"
[17:41] <DarkStar1> socomm: thanks
[17:41] <Lord_Rahl> anyone know if Comcast block 443 (SSL) incoming
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: why, if the product provides what is desired then why not use it...
[17:42] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: because there is plenty of alternatives?
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: imho chromium browses a tonne faster than any firefox build, but I have a lot of extra settings and it flys, and eats less ram which firefox does a LOT here which is why I don't use it. I also use aroroa
[17:43] <milen8204> anyone knows, have gcc library math.h ?
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> milen8204: try:  dpkg -S math.h
[17:43] <dAnjou> hey, do you know a tool that creates software usage statistics for me?
[17:43] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: never made any difference for me to wait for a website for either 1s or 0.1s.... really.
[17:43] <milen8204> ActionParsnip, thanks
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: I have no issue using the browser and frankly dont care if I am transmitting what I look at, I have nothing to hide. I'd happily send them my cookies every hour if they wanted
[17:44] <DarkStar1> socomm: thanks.. that worked
[17:44] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: thats just scary...
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: why, what am I losing exactly?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: try installing dnsmasq as well as use a web proxy to reduce the use of the web connection, keeps stuff on the LAN rather than the slower web connection
[17:45] <socomm> DarkStar1: cool, get familiar with the find utility - its very easy to learn and comes in very handy
[17:45] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: won't argue with you about which one is faster, better, what else... but google is to be avoided imho
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: what am I losing by them tracking me?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: i still get the sites I view and all is good
[17:46] <socomm> google scares crap out of me from a privacy stand point
[17:46] <DarkStar1> *
[17:46] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: have some pretty interesting articles here about why the behaviour of collecting data as done by google and others is bad for you. but they are all in german.
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: i'd like a read if you can give links please
[17:47] <Code_Bleu> anyone in here able to get Flash working in Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit and using Firefox 4 beta 8?
[17:47]  * st__ yawns
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: grab the 64bit flash ppa and you'll be fine
[17:47] <Bipul`> Code_Bleu, install it from ubuntu software center
[17:47] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: which is where?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/install-64bit-flash-from-a-ppa-or-deb/
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: I knew you'd ask, you could have used my direction and found it yourself....
[17:48] <DarkStar1> socomm: I just tried that find command you posted. gives me a - predicate invalid " --iname "- error
[17:48] <Code_Bleu> Bipul`: not there
[17:48] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: try this video on youtube, its a documentation about google (german) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mwa2rqEhL6E
[17:48] <Bipul`> Application <Ubuntu software center and then type flash player
[17:48] <introjection> I have a partition with a working user folder, but a broken system. Can I manually replace all folders except user with a clean working system from my other working system?
[17:49] <socomm> DarkStar1: lol maybe i should go back and re-learn find try -iname instead of --iname
[17:49] <Lantchips> Code_Bleu just download 10.2 32 bit
[17:49] <Code_Bleu> Lantchips: i want 64
[17:49] <st__> introjection, with same amount of reason, yes
[17:49] <magicianlord> is anyone familiar with EFI
[17:49] <Lantchips> Code_Bleu Think I heard somewhere that the 64 bit version is the same as 32 bit just the name sorta
[17:49] <DarkStar1> socomm: already did after I asked.. I put it down to your typo :)
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: ah, I thought you meant a page with german text
[17:50] <Scuttle> Hum...I have a problem with ubuntu, or apt rather, freezing when I install something... Right now I have Apt stuck at unpacking.... (10.10 server, 64bit"
[17:50] <Bipul`> magicianlord, what's EFI
[17:50] <nearst> Scuttle: what problem
[17:50] <nearst> Scuttle: just doing dpkg-reconfigure -a
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: frankly I dont care, i use about 6 or 7 sites so the data will be very boring, I have nothing to hide and I don't care
[17:50] <st__> extended firmware interface
[17:50] <introjection> st__, thank you.
[17:50] <nearst> Scuttle: it will reconfigure your system
[17:51] <introjection> lright. . my second partition has the working system i want to overwrite broken one with. i wonder if just copying will make it bootable though.
[17:51] <Bipul`> Scuttle, ?
[17:51] <nearst> introjection: maybe u need to configure using cfdisk
[17:51] <st__> introjection, no, you should skip boot folder
[17:51] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: it is my opinion that everyone should do what makes him/her happy. i was just saying something like google is not your friend, everything else you need to make up with yourself =)
[17:51] <introjection> that's actually what needs replacement. boot folder is broken, i have infamous initramfs bug on boot.
[17:51] <DarkStar1> magicianlord: I'm going to take a pot shot and guess you're trying to install ubuntu on a mac? :d
[17:52] <magicianlord> Bipul`: Extensible Firmware Interface. it's a DRM-inspired attempt to replace the current BIOS and control your computer
[17:52] <introjection> i'm searching cfdisk
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: did that ages ago, people wear too many tinfoil hats. Your ISP logs what you lok at anyway
[17:52] <Scuttle> nearst: why would I want to reconfigure my system? I'm trying to install a perl-module...
[17:52] <magicianlord> Macs have used EFI since 2006. i'm just reading about it, since intel's new p67 platforms will be forcing it
[17:52] <DarkStar1> magicianlord: Which is why apple use it
[17:52] <introjection> DarkStar1,  correct.  i had no issue and have enjoyed ubuntu until initramfs bug emerged.
[17:52] <introjection> for over a year it was perfect
[17:53] <magicianlord> DarkStar1: why what
[17:53] <Wolfsherz> ActionParsnip: but they have not the ability to correlate the collected data as google can
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> Wolfsherz: they could if they wanted
[17:53] <Scuttle> "Unpacking libgetopt-argvfile-perl (from .../libgetopt-argvfile-perl_1.11-1_all.deb) ..."
[17:53] <DarkStar1> magicianlord: DRM inspired
[17:53] <Scuttle> been sitting there for several minutes now
[17:53] <nearst> Scuttle: okay
[17:53] <introjection> oh my bad, wrong username
[17:53] <Cru_> >	i wondered if someone could help me. I just boot into livecd, took it out (didnt change any settings on my original install) and now when I log into mythbuntu it nolonger boots into gui but just to the terminal screen for logging in. Even when I unplug the added hd and have it originally set up it stays the same and doesnt enter into gui of mythbuntu
[17:54] <DarkStar1> introjection: I tried to install ubuntu a couple of months back on my Macbook and just gave up... Gave me no end of problems
[17:54] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: Wolfsherz: I suggest taking that to another channel :-)
[17:54] <st__> ActionParsnip, unlike ISP, Google needs no court order to disclose such logs
[17:54] <Scuttle> can't even ctrl+c with apt...it's totally frozen
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> st__: still not even remotely concerned or scared
[17:55] <Scuttle> the hell... not even kill 9...
[17:56] <st__> Scuttle, alt-ctrl-shift-sysrq-r
[17:56] <DarkStar1> anyone here have to deal with 1&1 or rent virtual servers from them?
[17:56] <guntbert> Scuttle: switch to another terminal and use top/htop to see what is the matter
[17:56] <Scuttle> st__: I managed to kill it...but apt freezes again when I re-run it
[17:57] <Lylzukill> hj
[17:57] <guntbert> !ot | DarkStar1
[17:57] <DarkStar1> thanks guntbert
[17:59] <Thorn> hello
[17:59] <binil> hi how can i copy to a root protected area graphically ...
[17:59] <Thorn> is php5-fpm 5.3.5 available for 10.04 yet?
[17:59] <binil> the cp command is a bit tiring
[18:00] <magicianlord> 10.04 is now available on dell vostro v130, aluminum-chassis laptops
[18:00] <Cru_> my gui no longer opens in ubuntu.  when i type startx it says that my NVIDIA kernel fails to initialize.  that screen(s) are found, but none have a usable configuration
[18:00] <jongbergs> quit
[18:00] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: were you using nVidia X Server?
[18:00] <edbian> binil: You can open a nautilus window as root by running gksudo nautilus
[18:00] <jsnikeris> Hi all.  I'm writing a bourne shell script.  I want to prompt the user for input, but I want to provide an initial string that they can just modify.  Anyone know how to do this?  For example the prompt would say "Artist: Bob Dylan" and they can backspace to remove the Dylan and hit enter
[18:01] <edbian> binil: But don't do it unless you have to because you might accidentally delete files
[18:01] <binil> k
[18:01] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: not sure.  I had installed it a long time ago via sh nvidia.run
[18:01] <binil> thnks
[18:01] <xoc_> I have Jaunty Jackalope and skype is being a bitch on here; should I upgrade my entire ubuntu to the latest one?
[18:02] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: it worked fine and today just stopped.  would love to re-install but not sure how to do it via the terminal (noobish to ubuntu)
[18:02] <st__> if I overwrite the folder, will its contents go to lost+found?
[18:02] <ActionParsnip> xoc_: jaunty is nt supported any more
[18:02] <edbian> jsnikeris: Short answer, there is easy way.
[18:02] <xoc_> well shit on me
[18:02] <jsnikeris> edbian: no easy way?
[18:02] <magicianlord> Cru_: what stopped
[18:02] <xoc_> ActionParsnip: what is the best way to upgrade to the latest?
[18:03] <shiv_> I have ubuntu and windows 7 on the same HDD partitioned (dual boot) I am running out of space on ubuntu side. Is there a way to expand the partition size without loosing data on either side?
[18:03] <edbian> jsnikeris: You'd have to write a text editor window (like in a graphical text editor program) with a buffer of text in it and everything
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade | xoc_
[18:03] <guntbert> st__: no
[18:03] <edbian> jsnikeris: I would just print the string and then ask the user if they wanna change it to something else and have them type in a whole new string
[18:03] <jsnikeris> edbian: OK, thanks
[18:03] <edbian> jsnikeris: no problem
[18:03] <Cru_> magicianlord: i no longer boot into the gui.  I just end up at terminal when computer turns on.  when i try to run startx it says nvidia kernel couldnt initialize b/c a screen was found, but none usable
[18:04] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: have you double checked your connections at the gpu and monitor? aside from that i'd look into seeing is the xorg.conf got corrupt
[18:04] <bullgard4> Disk Mounter v. 2.30.0 in Maverick shows one Partition of my single internal hard disk with 2 Icons: Firstly "(not mounted)" and at the same time  secondly as "(mounted)". Is this a bug? '~$ mount' shows it as mounted.
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> shiv_: remove old unused kernels as well as openoffice if you only use writer and install abiword, you should also install bleachbit and clean stuff that way (close as many apps as you can) as well as run: sudo apt-get clean
[18:05] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: yeah, i turned off and re-seated video card and hdmi cord as well
[18:05] <edbian> bullgard4: when it doubt trust the terminal
[18:05] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: so you are saying this PPA will work with the Beta 8 version of Firefox 4?
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: it'll work with any browser as it uses the standard folders.
[18:05] <bullgard4> edbian: Right. But this answers my question only partially.
[18:05] <shiv_> ActionParsnip, thanks will do that for now
[18:05] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: You can also download the deb, extract it and put the plugin in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[18:06] <bable> hi ppl , can some one help me? problems with a Realtec RTL8191SE wireless in ubuntu 10.10
[18:06] <magicianlord> why isn't there a proper working video drive for via chipsets?
[18:06] <magicianlord> driver
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> shiv_: watch your options in bleachbit or it'll clear settings you want to keep, also avoid options which say they will take a long time, run it as user and root
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> oh well
[18:06] <edbian> bullgard4: I'm not up to date on the bugs of that program.  All I can say is that if I saw an app giving me different information than some cli program. I'd trust the cli program
[18:06] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: there is, its in a default install
[18:06] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: Im trying the PPA first, then if that doesnt work, then i will try the .deb file
[18:06] <magicianlord> i was going to install ubuntu on a via laptop, but the resolution cannot be changed properly
[18:06] <BluesKaj> Cru_, have you installed the nvidia-current driver , if so , at the prompt : nvidia-xconfig...this will rewitr Xorg.conf
[18:07] <magicianlord> it extends past the screen
[18:07] <magicianlord> and changes it from 1600x1200 corrupts the display
[18:07] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: take a look and see if /etc/X11/xorg.conf is present and readable (cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | more)
[18:07] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: then you may need an xorg.conf file if udev isnt detecting things right
[18:07] <Cru_> BluesKaj: when I type that it says "unable to write to directory /etc/X11
[18:08] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: use sudo
[18:08] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: I forgot to mention that i have both the original version of FF installed and i have installed the FF4 in my /opt dir...and the PPA didnt work
[18:08] <bable> wireless not working , it worked after install just fine, but next day.. stop working
[18:08] <bullgard4> edbian: Thank you for answering.
[18:08] <BluesKaj> oops yeah , sudo  , Cru_
[18:08] <edbian> bullgard4: yep.  Good luck with it.
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: fine, the browser as ~/.mozilla/plugins in its plugin path (you'll need to make the folder first)
[18:09] <bable> can some one help me? problems with a Realtec RTL8191SE wireless in ubuntu 10.10
[18:10] <Idol_Mind> does anyone know and guides for moving ubuntu to an SSD while triming down the size of partitions?
[18:10] <freeride> guys, please, tel how to restore drub2 after windows installed
[18:10] <Cru_> Idol_Mind, BluesKaj: Ok, I typed the nvidia xconfig and it went through, but startx still same problem and when i used cat command, it says no such file or directory
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> bable: could compile the driver from the realtk site using this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1425140
[18:10] <binil> i wonder what ubuntu did with the network manager... 10.04 worked great but having problems with 10.10
[18:10] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: really? well there's one problem
[18:10] <bullgard4> !grub2 | freeride
[18:10] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: alrighty, one sec
[18:11] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: can you explain that again..not sure im following you.  Im sure it has something to do with symlinks, but i have tried that..unless you are explaining to me to do something different
[18:11] <bable> binil: same thing here
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> freeride: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html
[18:11] <bable> no wireless
[18:11] <glaceman> Helloooooooooooooooo EVERY1 :D:D:D
[18:11] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: is /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup present?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: make the folder ~/.mozilla/plugins
[18:11] <BluesKaj> Cru_, which nvidia card are you using ?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: extract the deb and copy the plugin file to that folder, its that simple
[18:12] <bullgard4> binil: "having problems" is no precise error message.
[18:12] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: try 'sudo nvidia-settings'
[18:12] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: i Have that from the original version installed...im assuming
[18:12] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: that should rewrite the xorg.conf
[18:12] <Cru_> Idol_Mind, BluesKaj: n/m about it not being there...mistyped it. lol.  Xorg opens and backup is present
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: then you will need to remove the packaged version or it may conflict
[18:12] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: i wish it was that simple....i promise you i know what im doing and have tried everything
[18:12] <bable> any good soul out there , some tutorial ... some link... wireless prbs in 10.10
[18:13] <bullgard4> !wireless | bable
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: also make sure you dont have gnash installed or swfdec-mozilla etc or that will conflict too
[18:13] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: sudo nvidia-settings gives me an error saying control display is undefined
[18:13] <binil> well my cell  is forced into  going into memory storage mode after like 5 mins ... phone is sony ericsson w200i
[18:13] <kokozedman> hey guys ... i'm having a really weird packet problem on my Ubuntu Server
[18:14] <bable> tanka you
[18:14] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: I just verfied that gnash and swfdec-mozilla are not installed
[18:14] <edbian> kokozedman: What is it?
[18:14] <kokozedman> i have installed Squid3 ... then i removed it and install Squid 2 ...
[18:14] <glaceman> can anybody please tell me if i could possible delete safely the following folders from my home profile "templates and examples", what are they here for anyway ?
[18:14] <bable> !wireless
[18:14] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: rename the xorg.conf to xorg.conf.old (sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old) and try again
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> glaceman: where is it located?
[18:14] <kokozedman> then, just now ... i install squid3 ... and both doesn't work
[18:14] <Cru_> BluesKaj: Nvidia geforce 210
[18:14] <glaceman> ActionParsnip: in my home folder
[18:14] <binil> to go about the problem i keep running some application on phone...
[18:14] <edbian> glaceman: You can safely delete it.  Right click anywhere, the menu there pulls from the templates folder
[18:14] <kokozedman> now, i can't remove squid3 ... nor re-install it
[18:14] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: so you are saying that no one can run an earlier version of FF and the FF 4 Beta with Flash working in 64bit Ubuntu 10.10?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> glaceman: templates folder is used when you right click and use 'create new..'
[18:15] <robin_hood> please somebody help me. in smb.conf, "#" means commentary, but what does mean ";" ?
[18:15] <glaceman> oh so i can keep it
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> glaceman: Examples can be deleted without issue
[18:15] <kokozedman> edbian: i get error from apt-get whether i want to install squid3 or remove it .... squid3 was not fully isntalled
[18:15] <glaceman> but it's empty
[18:15] <Lantchips> Code_Bleu normally ff is a 32 bit browser anyhow so a 64 bit won't really do any difference
[18:15] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: you could also try sudo nvidia-xconfig
[18:15] <edbian> glaceman: Drop files in it then right click and look at the create new menu item
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> glaceman: yes, unless you don't want to be able to make new empty files of various types from right click
[18:15] <glaceman> ok i understand now edbian
[18:15] <kokozedman> is there a way to have the system forget there ever have been a squid3 .. and start really fresh again?
[18:15] <glaceman> ok ok, thanks guys
[18:15] <binil> @<bullgard4>  do you know what is different in the network manager this time ...
[18:15] <bullgard4> glaceman: I believe they are for openoffice.org programs.
[18:16] <edbian> kokozedman: Did you try the -f flag on apt-get to fix broken packages?
[18:16] <kokozedman> i need squid3 ... but i can't get it anylong now
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: i dont know, i dont use crappy firefox no more
[18:16] <kokozedman> edbian: nope ... let me try that
[18:16] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: I did that and it re-wrote, but startx is the same problem.  screens found but none have a usable config
[18:16] <edbian> kokozedman: I think sudo apt-get -f install   tries to fix all broken packages
[18:16] <bullgard4> binil: Different to what?
[18:16] <luis001> hello
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: you could try symlinking the plugin file into the plugins folder for the browser in /opt
[18:16] <edbian> luis001: hi
[18:17] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: ok, well can you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[18:17] <aneviltrend> hi all - i have a networking question. i have a 5-port switch and i'm trying to set a static ip on my ubuntu box so i can connect to it from my laptop
[18:17] <Cru_> yeah....it may take awhile as i will have to manual type it (unless you know a way i can do it via the terminal)
[18:17] <edbian> aneviltrend: sure....
[18:17] <aneviltrend> unfortunately my laptop can't ping the ubuntu box
[18:17] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: yeah....it may take awhile as i will have to manual type it (unless you know a way i can do it via the terminal)
[18:17] <robin_hood> please somebody help me. what does ";" in a start of a line on a document? (# is commentary, but ";" ?)
[18:17] <binil> @<bullgard4> the way it goes about connecting.. i wonder why are all these problems cropping up??
[18:17] <edbian> aneviltrend: The laptop and the ubuntu box both must have static IP addresses
[18:17] <bullgard4> aneviltrend: man route
[18:17] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: I tried that too...i guess im just going to give up for now, and hopefully in the months to come it will work...so for now if i need flash i will use something else.
[18:17] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: I don't unless someone here does
[18:17] <luketheduke> I have a weird problem with my RaLink 2860 wireless. it randomly stops working and I can't get it to work again unless I reboot. In Windows 7 that doesn't happen. When I try to set it down or up with ifconfig it says "device busy". Here's what happens in syslog: http://pastebin.com/Vs2nQcQA . any ideas?
[18:18] <aneviltrend> edbian: both of them? okay, i'll try that
[18:18] <glaceman> guys my system freeze, freshly installed 2 days ago
[18:18] <glaceman> i clicked on application on the top, and now it dosen't want to close
[18:18] <aneviltrend> edbian: the laptop is win7, so i'll have to monkey around a bit :)
[18:18] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: where do I get the xorg.conf file?
[18:18] <edbian> aneviltrend: yes, the packets know where the server is, they do not know where the laptop is without a valid IP
[18:18] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> glaceman: can you restart the X server using ALT+K+Printcreen ?
[18:18] <aneviltrend> edbian: thanks for the help
[18:18] <rohitnikcool> hello everyone
[18:18] <edbian> aneviltrend: Just to be clear, what IP does the server have?
[18:19] <aneviltrend> edbian: <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:19] <rohitnikcool> Does anybody know software similar to magic iso for ubuntu.
[18:19] <glaceman> ActionParsnip: dosen't do anything
[18:19] <robin_hood> please somebody help me. what does ";" in a start of a line on a document? (# is commentary, but ";" ?)
[18:19] <edbian> aneviltrend: k, what IP does the laptop have?
[18:19] <NixGeek> how can I, using metacity, have a window stay always on bottom?
[18:19] <bullgard4> binil: I cannot tell you beforehand. You better make some test and produce an error message. Report this error message. Otherwose the matter is too complex.
[18:19] <aneviltrend> edbian: it's assigned by dhcp
[18:19] <bullgard4> binil: I cannot tell you beforehand. You better make some test and produce an error message. Report this error message. Otherwise the matter is too complex.
[18:19] <edbian> aneviltrend: Oh well if you have dhcp than that's fine.
[18:19] <aneviltrend> edbian: it's one of two interfaces, the other is the wireless
[18:19] <magicianlord> is 11.04 stable enough to install now?
[18:19] <Idol_Mind> I've currently got a dual boot setup with Win7 on my SSD and Ubuntu on my WD 640G, i'd like to swap them without losing anything... is there a guide for this? I assume dd is going to be my best bet
[18:20] <edbian> aneviltrend: PM me?
[18:20] <aneviltrend> edbian: the weird thing i'm doing is that there's no router in the setup
[18:20] <NixGeek> !11.04
[18:20] <bullgard4> magicianlord: No.
[18:20] <magicianlord> bullgard4: then when
[18:20] <edbian> aneviltrend: you're going to have to lay out the entire network for me to fully understand what's happening.  PM me :)
[18:20] <aneviltrend> edbian: sure, i'm a bit of an irc noob so how do i start it?
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> glaceman: try holding ALT + PrintScreen and press R then E then I then S then U then B
[18:20] <rohitnikcool> Does anybody know software similar to magic iso for ubuntu.
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> rohitnikcool: what's it do?
[18:20] <AbhiJit> ...
[18:20] <Idol_Mind> rohitnikcool, archive manager should do the trick
[18:21] <weird_19> hi
[18:21] <edbian> aneviltrend: every client is different.  Click my name? right click my name?
[18:21] <Idol_Mind> rohitnikcool, what are you trying to accomplish?
[18:21] <rohitnikcool> ActionParsnip: its a iso maker like
[18:21] <BluesKaj> Cru_, have you tried a reboot since the xorg rewrite ?
[18:21] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: is there a way to copy the xorg to a flash drive via terminal?
[18:21] <Cru_> BluesKaj: Yes, still the terminal
[18:21] <bullgard4> magicianlord: The answer depends on your knowledge and the degree of reliability you expect. At the end of April it will be better to use without many bugs.
[18:21] <ShootEmUp> Hello Everyone!
[18:21] <magicianlord> ok man
[18:21] <rohitnikcool> i need a s\w for creating iso image from disk and folders
[18:21] <binil> @<bullgard4>   how to get around with the error message when all the thing that goes about with the network manager is graphical???

[18:22] <rohitnikcool> i need a s\w for creating iso image from disk and folders
[18:22] <BluesKaj> Cru_, ok , I miight have another suggestion if I can find the example....bbiab
[18:22] <rohitnikcool> i need a s\w for creating iso image from disk and folders
[18:22] <AbhiJit> rohitnikcool, try acitoneiso
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> rohitnikcool: linux can already mount ISOs
[18:22] <weird_19> hello
[18:23] <rohitnikcool>
[18:23] <edbian> weird_19: hello, did you just try to private chat me?
[18:23] <rohitnikcool> AbhiJit: ok
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> rohitnikcool: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/filename.iso /media/iso
[18:23] <weird_19> yes
[18:23] <edbian> weird_19: what for?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> rohitnikcool: just change /path/to/filename.iso   in tht command and it will mount, you dont need anything else
[18:24] <lwizardl> ok back to problems with multiple monitors. how can I force my main display for all applications to be the laptop sceen and then to the left of the screen be the secondary monitor when connected
[18:24] <weird_19> i have a little question
[18:24] <rohitnikcool> ActionParsnip: yes i know that but what about making iso image from folders
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> rohitnikcool: the files in the image will then be accessible from /media/iso
[18:24] <edbian> weird_19: what is it?
[18:24] <AbhiJit> weird_19, ask
[18:24] <luketheduke> ActionParsnip: he wants to write an iso not mount it.
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> rohitnikcool: oh you want to make an image from a folder
[18:24] <michel> ok i got back after a restart, alt + prnt screen + r logged me out saying waiting for even logging: even looging is off
[18:24] <weird_19> how to to rename user in backtrack 4 and password if we start booting bt4
[18:25] <AbhiJit> :/
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> rohitnikcool: mkisofs -r -o file.iso /path/to/folder
[18:25] <binil> @<bullgard4>  it would be better if you tell me what to search on the net ... i am interested in studying how these work ..
[18:25] <AbhiJit> !backtrack | weird_19
[18:25] <edbian> Why do so many people from backtrack end up in this channel?
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> weird_19: backtrack isnt supported here
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> edbian: no idea
[18:25] <robin_hood> please somebody help me. what does ";" in a start of a line on a document? (# is commentary, but ";" ?)
[18:25] <bullgard4> binil: Yes, I see the problem. i.) You can try to connect via the network using Network Manager and describe verbally what reaction Network manager produces. ii.) You can report the associated error messages seen in /var/log/syslog and/or /var/log/dmesg.0 .

[18:26] <AppError> Good day :)
[18:27] <AppError> Question, does it make sense for me to look into hiding server headers to increase security a bit?
[18:27] <magicianlord> why does ubuntu install kernel headers by default, but fedora doesnt'
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> magicianlord:  Hmm. I cant recall it doing that.  Could be some drivers pulled them in.
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> !headers
[18:28] <Fusky> hm
[18:29] <Idol_Mind> would i be better off doing a fresh install of ubuntu instead of trying to downsize and dd copy it to my ssd?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: i have them in my vanilla-ish install
[18:30] <magicianlord> why
[18:30] <magicianlord> the question of the day is why
[18:30] <michel> how can i make a RDP to a windows computer from ubuntu ?
[18:30] <AbhiJit> !rdp
[18:31] <trism> magicianlord: do you use any propretary drivers? (such as the nvidia driver), because in that case you need them for dkms
[18:32] <michel> remote desktop connetion to a windows computer !!!
[18:32] <bullgard4> !samba |  michel
[18:32] <shcherbak> !vnc | michel
[18:32] <robin_hood> please somebody help me. what does ";" in a start of a line on a document? (# is commentary, but ";" ?)
[18:33] <jsnikeris> robin_hood: it does nothing
[18:33] <michel> thanks u Bot
[18:33] <pankaj> my ubuntu software center and package manager got fucked up
[18:33] <smw> robin_hood, depends on the document
[18:33] <shcherbak> robin_hood: what language?
[18:33] <rewt> ; is sometimes used for comments too, depending on the file
[18:33] <bullgard4> robin_hood: Depends on the use of the document. Often it is equivalent to '#'.
[18:34] <IdleOne> !language | pankaj
[18:34] <gr0gmint> xtc: hi?
[18:34] <BluesKaj> Cru_, try to use the recovery kernel then the options dialog should pop up with various optons , choose low graphics mode , then if successful setup yor resolution in hardware nvidia driver settings
[18:34] <Omega> pankaj: What is the problem?
[18:34] <smw> robin_hood, it is used for comments in certain types of files
[18:34] <pankaj> omg
[18:34] <pankaj> ok
[18:34] <robin_hood> file /etc/samba/smb.conf haves a lot of ;
[18:34] <pankaj> i didn't know families were here
[18:34] <pankaj> sorry
[18:34] <rewt> robin_hood, those would be comments
[18:34] <pankaj> my package manager
[18:34] <Omega> Now you know :)
[18:34] <smw> robin_hood, ; are used to comment useful lines
[18:35] <Omega> What is the problem with your package manager?
[18:35] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: here is my pastebin http://paste.ubuntu.com/551873/
[18:35] <robin_hood> thanks!, so ";" are equivalent to "#" in /etc/samba/smb.conf ?
[18:35] <Cru_> BluesKaj: how do i go into recovery mode via terminal?
[18:35] <pankaj> i entered a new repository source
[18:35] <smw> robin_hood, comments start with #, null cmds start with ;
[18:35] <pankaj> for gyachi download
[18:35] <smw> robin_hood, yep, ; and # are the same thing
[18:35] <robin_hood> smw thanks
[18:35] <pankaj> and now the package manager is hung up
[18:35] <robin_hood> thanks everybody
[18:35] <pankaj> it does not work anymore
[18:35] <pankaj> it crashes
[18:35] <BluesKaj> cru  reboot , hold down the shift key to get the grub menu, then go from there
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: can you give the output of:  sudo apt-get update   please use: http://pastie.org  to give the output. Thanks
[18:35] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: ok, lemme glance through it
[18:36] <BluesKaj> Cru_,  reboot , hold down the shift key to get the grub menu, then go from there
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: also, you don't have to hit enter after every word,you can in fact type huge long lines just like the one you are reading now. This prevents the channel from scrolling like crazy
[18:36] <Omega> pankaj: go to System > Administration > Software Sources
[18:36] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: just a single monitor?
[18:36] <Omega> And remove the source that caused the trouble
[18:36] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: yes
[18:36] <pankaj> ok
[18:37] <Idol_Mind> what's the make/model?
[18:37] <pankaj> i want to delete the last repository source i entered it is causing the problem
[18:37] <pankaj> but i don't know how to delete it
[18:37] <pankaj> the package manager won't work it crashes showing error
[18:38] <Omega> pankaj: go to System > Administration > Software Sources
[18:38] <shcherbak> pankaj: /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:38] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: My monitor is my hdtv actually
[18:38] <smw> pankaj, edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the line
[18:38] <smw> pankaj, please remember to edit it as root.
[18:38] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: lucky lucky man... alrighty, i doubt that is the issue anyways
[18:38] <pankaj> omega i looked there is no such software sources option
[18:39] <Condorito> !MBR
[18:39] <pankaj> i am using ubuntu 10.10
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: applications -> software sources
[18:39] <smw> pankaj, gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:39] <BluesKaj> pankaj, alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ..delete the repos or comment it with a #
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: then click Edit -> software sources
[18:39] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: yeah =) i actually use my ubuntu box as a dvr

[18:40] <FaTHeRBaDTouCH> and smw
[18:40] <FaTHeRBaDTouCH> I also had that problem from yesterday witha ppa i mistyped
[18:40] <cargilcm> i have a dell laptop that i need to install some extra ram on...can anyone tell me where the two sockets (slots) are located?  I would reallly appreciate it!! ??!! : )  Thanks
[18:41] <PsPhaKeR_> Can I change how the terminal looks?
[18:41] <FaTHeRBaDTouCH> inside car
[18:41] <pankaj> i can't see software sources
[18:41] <FaTHeRBaDTouCH> tinside cargilcm
[18:41] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: nice... when it works i guess... to be honest, I can't be much more help to you... i figured it was a TwinView problem... are you able to get video from live-cd?
[18:41] <patart> ale beznadzieja
[18:42] <cargilcm> FaTHeRBaDTouCH   thanks lol
[18:42] <BluesKaj> FaTHeRBaDTouCH, copy and paste is your friend :)
[18:42] <theduke> how can I install command-line emacs only using apt-get? is there a specific package? i dont want the gtk version
[18:42] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: yeah, boots fine.  just some issue with video card, but cant figure out how to uninstall/re-set up
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> theduke:  i think its comthing like 'emacs-nox'
[18:42] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: have you tried to reinstall nvidia drivers/software?
[18:42] <PsPhaKeR_> Can I change how the terminal looks?
[18:43] <theduke> Dr_Willis: emacs-23-nox it is ... thanks!
[18:43] <jrib> PsPhaKeR_: in what sense?
[18:43] <wildc4rd> evening all
[18:43] <Cru_> Idol_Mind: can you do that via the terminal/
[18:43] <BluesKaj> Cru_,  did you reboot , hold down the shift key to get the grub menu ?
[18:43] <PsPhaKeR_> jrib: Colors, etc...
[18:43] <Cru_> BluesKaj: when i hold down shift key nothing happens, still get to terminal log in
[18:43] <Idol_Mind> Cru_: as long as you got internets, sure...
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> PsPhaKeR_:  depends on what you want to change. You can set the prompt and do other things.
[18:43] <BluesKaj> Cru_, no grub ?
[18:43] <Grujah> when i copy files from HDD to USB Flash, it starts fast but when it gets to the end of a file it almost blocks and needs few minutes to finished each file.
[18:43] <PsPhaKeR_> Dr_Willis: Like the colors and maybe the font color?
[18:43] <jrib> PsPhaKeR_: sure, right click -> edit profile
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> Grujah:  ive seen that also. i think its using some 'cache'  so is missleaing in its speeds.
[18:44] <Cru_> BluesKaj: wait, held down both and it went this time.  let me try that !
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> PsPhaKeR_:  like the colors for what?  most of that wuill be either setting the prompt, or specific program settngs
[18:44] <PsPhaKeR_> Dr_Willis: nvm I got it, thanks
[18:45] <Putr> hi! .. so why dont my "delete" and "left and right arrow keys" do not work? ...
[18:45] <Dr_Willis> Putr:  dont work where?
[18:45] <PsPhaKeR_> Also everybody my audio is fixed for the most part, and so I have another problem :\
[18:45] <Putr> in ubuntu. They just stoped working yestarday
[18:45] <wyclif> hi all
[18:45] <Cru_> BluesKay: hey, i got to my os ! =)
[18:45] <spikemikespike> can anyone suggest a good printer that will functon good 9.10
[18:46] <anon33_> I'm looking for a music player that supports moving music to devices that isn't rhythmbox / banshee. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> Putr:  well yes.. in 'ubuntu' but you mean in IRC? in terminal? in console? in vi/emacs/whatever?
[18:46] <magicianlord> Putr: is your keyboard region set properly?
[18:46] <EnigmaticCoder> Is there a channel dedicated to the command line?
[18:46] <Putr> how the hell can i set up a server over ssh (and all the config files) if my left and right arows do not work
[18:46] <magicianlord> anon33_: vlc
[18:46] <Putr> Dr_Willis: I mean .. EVERYWHERE
[18:46] <magicianlord> anon33_: gtk-pod
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> Putr:  double check in the console.
[18:46] <magicianlord> Putr: why did this hapen?
[18:46] <Putr> magicianlord: Ye just checked, they are set properly
[18:46] <EnigmaticCoder> Putr: Tab?
[18:46] <anon33_> magicianlord: Does gtk-pod support android phones?
[18:46] <Putr> tab works
[18:46] <shcherbak> EnigmaticCoder: #bash ?
[18:47] <magicianlord> Putr: try external usb keyboard to ifx
[18:47] <EnigmaticCoder> shcherbak: that sounds good, ty
[18:47] <Putr> magicianlord: ye dont have any external (ye i'm on a laptop) usb keyboards.. or a PS2 to usb converter :( and everything is closed :(
[18:47] <EnigmaticCoder> Putr: Also shift tab if you want to go backwards
[18:48] <Putr> I've been googling a while.. is compix to blame?
[18:48] <shcherbak> Putr: install on screen keyboard
[18:48] <PsPhaKeR_> When I turn the computer on it has an insertion piont thing flashing, then text apperars for literraly less than 1 second [I cant read it one bit] then Ubuntu starts up. Can I make Ubuntu launch without that happening?
[18:48] <Cru_> BluesKaj: You are the man!  I will mess with this for awhile and see if I can figure it out now. thanks for getting me into the system
[18:48] <Grujah> Putr, you are sure the keyboard is not broken? :)
[18:49] <horseatingweeds> How can you get a location bar in Nautilus for entering text?
[18:49] <Grujah> horsedasdsd, ctrl + l
[18:49] <Dr_Willis> Putr:  if 'compiz' is to blame. then the keys should work in the alt-ctrl0f1 through f6 consoles.
[18:49] <Putr> Grujah: ye i considered that. But the thing is that it's not just the keyboard, and it's not all the time. Sometimes mouse cant click anything
[18:50] <horseatingweeds> Grujah, thanks
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> Putr:  also you could try installing a simple window manager like 'icewm' and seeif it works in there. If so. that would point to a gnome/compiz setting/issue.
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> anon33_: ubuntu should just pick up android phones after you tell the phone to mount the SD card
[18:50] <Dr_Willis> horseatingweeds:  thers some setting to enable tht to be always 'the default'
[18:50] <BluesKaj> Cru_, good luck , I hope your resolution settings will hold up.
[18:50] <PsPhaKeR_> Dr_Willis:  When I turn the computer on it has an insertion piont thing flashing, then text apperars for literraly less than 1 second [I cant read it one bit]
[18:50] <PsPhaKeR_>                    then Ubuntu starts up. Can I make Ubuntu launch without that happening?
[18:50] <pankaj> how do i edit a file as root?
[18:50] <pankaj> how do i become root?
[18:51] <shcherbak> pankaj: sudo nano <file>
[18:51] <phaized> I need kernel headers for <IP_ADDRESS>-xxxx-grs-ipv6-32 Where will i find these? I am running Server 10.04. Thanks in advance.
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> anon33_:  on my android phone. i plug in the cable.. phone asks me to enter 'data' mode, i then have to use the status bar thing ont he phone to enable 'mount the sd card' to let the pc actually get to it.
[18:51] <PsPhaKeR_> pankaj: sudo chown -R username:root /location/of/file/
[18:51] <EnigmaticCoder> PsPhaKeR_: There is a way to do that, iirc. I'm looking it up for you
[18:51] <PsPhaKeR_> thanks :D
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> PsPhaKeR_:  if its a Pymouth messing up issue. No idea. I disable plymouth. so i only see the text befor gdm loads. no animations.
[18:51] <jrib> pankaj: do not do that
[18:52] <jrib> pankaj: that will break your system
[18:52] <pankaj> i am confused
[18:52] <anon33_> Dr_Willis & ActionParsnip - it does. I'm just looking for a friendly, GUI version that lets me browse music by arist,album,whatever and drag and drop to an Android device. Something similar to Banshee, but not Banshee (because it's ultra slow)
[18:52] <jrib> !sudo | pankaj
[18:52] <jrib> pankaj: you use "sudo" to gain superuser privileges.  So to edit a file as root using nano for example, you would do: sudo nano /path/to/file
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> anon33_: nautilus does it fine
[18:52] <pankaj> i am trying to edit sourcelist file
[18:52] <pankaj> but i need to be root to do that
[18:52] <Dr_Willis> anon33_:  i just use the normal file managers.
[18:53] <jrib> pankaj: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list   or if you want gui: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:53] <anon33_> ActionParsnip & Dr_Willis I'd like my music to be organized by artist / album, not just a ton of .mp3 files
[18:53] <pankaj> ok let me try
[18:53] <PsPhaKeR_> Dr_Willis: plymouth?
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> anon33_:  my music is allready organized that way on my hard drive.
[18:53] <shcherbak> PsPhaKeR_: your last command, you gave. Remove it from your memory, Sudo forever.
[18:53] <pankaj> aha so the gk command is for gui
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> PsPhaKeR_:  grub -> pymouth -> GDM login screen -> Desktop
[18:53] <Idol_Mind> !SSD
[18:53] <PsPhaKeR_> shcherbak: I am afraid I don't understand :|
[18:53] <anon33_> Dr_Willis: But if I want to exclude certain albums under an artist, then I have to create an artist folder (on the phone) and drag the album in.
[18:54] <shcherbak> PsPhaKeR_: that chown is not good
[18:54] <jrib> PsPhaKeR_: you shouldn't recursively chown files so that you can edit them
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> anon33_: rhymnbox maybe
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> anon33_:  I just copy ALL my music over. :)
[18:54] <Idol_Mind> is there a guide on moving ubuntu to an SSD?
[18:54] <anon33_> ActionParsnip: It doesn't pick up my android phone (I assume the plug in doesn't work)
[18:54] <Dr_Willis> Idol_Mind:  should be the same as any other HD.
[18:54] <PsPhaKeR_> shcherbak: Oh, ok... why is it bad?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> anon33_: then you may have to use the 'slow' app if you want the organisatio
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> Idol_Mind:  some sdd's can use specific mount options/filesystem for some extra speed/other benifits.. but that area is 'very confuseing' and can depend on the sdd in question
[18:55] <spikemikespike> A word of advice  DONT BUY A KODAK ESP-3 Total garbage sent it back twice and got back the same garbage only worked for a short time and the replacements would do evrything but print wont even work in WindowsXP they wont refund lost 100 bucks  they just want to replace with another defective printer.
[18:55] <shcherbak> PsPhaKeR_: in wrong directory ir will damage system, even in ~ it can cause trouble.
[18:55] <Condorito> hi. okay before I dive into editing the grub.cfg file to shorten the list on the initial boot options, does anyone have any reason why I should not, please? Thanks.
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> spikemikespike:  stick with HP or brother.
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> spikemikespike: just dont buy kodak, they refuse to support linux
[18:55] <Dr_Willis> Condorito:  you DONT edit grub.cfg - theres guides out on how to properly 'shorten' the grub menu luistings
[18:55] <Idol_Mind> Dr_Willis, what about tmpfs/swap considerations? I don't want to eat up my SSD prematurely
[18:55] <spikemikespike> will do
[18:55] <pankaj> gksudo sources.list is this the right command
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> Idol_Mind:  you could mvoe them to ram i guess. or a cheaper hd. but im not sure its that big an issue.
[18:56] <pankaj> when terminal is opened in the particular folder
[18:56] <jrib> pankaj: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:56] <NixGeek> Dr_Willis: hp printers are awesome, just make sure to steer FAR AWAY from there computers
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> Idol_Mind:  lots of talk on that topic ive seen. but very little 'real' data
[18:56] <pankaj> but i open terminal at the location
[18:56] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list    sources.list isn't a command which gksdo expects
[18:56] <jrib> pankaj: this will still work
[18:56] <magicianlord> The Grub 2 editing process must be made human-friendly.
[18:56] <Condorito> Dr_Willis: Thanks, good thing I asked...
[18:56] <magicianlord> It is not friendly at all now.
[18:56] <pankaj> so gksudo /sources.list?
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> NixGeek:  the $299 HP desktop i got on black friday. works :)
[18:56] <NixGeek> how can I, using metacity, have a window stay always on bottom?
[18:56] <Idol_Mind> Dr_Willis, same here, guess it comes down to price and paranoia
[18:57] <Hilikus> can someone help me configure pulseaudio for surround sound. i don't know if it is pulseaudio though as even speaker-test that bypasses it doesn't work in 5.1 mode
[18:57] <jrib> pankaj: no, the command you've been given 3 times now, not the random stuff you are typing
[18:57] <shcherbak> pankaj: gksudo gedit source.list if in directory
[18:57] <Condorito> !grub
[18:57] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: no, gksudo gives the correct way to run graphicl apps with elevated access. sources.list is not a command, its  file and gksudo will fail
[18:57] <NixGeek> Dr_Willis: it works, but was it loaded with crapware?  also, hp tends to use lesser components than other companies
[18:57] <administrator_> @
[18:57] <shcherbak> pankaj: / in start means absolute path
[18:57] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: I decided to uninstall everything firefox and flash and start from scratch on FF4 beta 8 and nothing worked
[18:57] <administrator_> #
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: gedit IS a command and can be ran with gksudo, you can use /etc/apt/sources.list as an argumet of gedit to be opened as soon as the app runs :)
[18:58] <pankaj> ok i am learning when i am in the directory i don't have to give path
[18:58] <PsPhaKeR_> Also, how to re-load terminal defaults?
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: could try the mozilla ppa, may be friendlier
[18:58] <shcherbak> pankaj: yes
[18:58] <magicianlord> Code_Bleu: download the beta from their site and run it from a location
[18:58] <jrib> pankaj: sure, you don't *have* to but you still can if you want.  Your mistake was omitting the command for the editor: gedit
[18:58] <EnigmaticCoder> PsPhaKeR_: I don't know if this will work or not, but edit /etc/default/grub and see if you have this set GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[18:58] <pankaj> i got it
[18:58] <Code_Bleu> magicianlord: i did
[18:58] <magicianlord> and
[18:58] <PsPhaKeR_> EnigmaticCoder: What do you mean?
[18:58] <pankaj> gksudo gedit sources.list will do it
[18:59] <magicianlord> it no work???
[18:59] <jrib> pankaj: yes
[18:59] <pankaj> when i am in directory
[18:59] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: where is the mozilla PPA?
[18:59] <pankaj> let me try it now
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: websearch and you will find
[18:59] <EnigmaticCoder> PsPhaKeR_: try this command $ gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
[18:59] <anon33_> Does anyone here know how to fix Banshee's bugginess on 10.10?
[18:59] <EnigmaticCoder> PsPhaKeR_: Then look for this line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
[18:59] <pankaj> the file didn't open with gui for me to edit :(
[19:00] <oxan_> hi. I'm trying to get a triple monitor (on 2 nvidia graphical cards) setup  working, but it doesn't work. I can set two monitors into a twinview configuration, but when I add the third one my windows maximize to both screens instead of just one in kde. when i use xinerama Xorg starts eating CPU (always 30-50%)
[19:00] <Idol_Mind> is clonezilla a good choice for backing up windows? I would use dd, but I don't need to maintain the partition size..
[19:00] <PsPhaKeR_> EnigmaticCoder: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[19:00] <EnigmaticCoder> PsPhaKeR_: Hmm, I don't know how to get it more quiet than that
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> Idol_Mind: i'd ask in ##windows
[19:00] <pankaj> i can't edit the file sources.list
[19:00] <PsPhaKeR_> EnigmaticCoder: How can I reset the terminal to its default settings?
[19:01] <pankaj> it does not open with the gksudo gedit sources.list command
[19:01] <pankaj> what is wrong
[19:01] <EnigmaticCoder> PsPhaKeR_: Not sure
[19:01] <Idol_Mind> ActionParsnip, will do
[19:01] <shcherbak> pankaj: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:01] <shcherbak> pankaj: ^^^
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: try:  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:01] <pankaj> ok i will try that shcherbak
[19:01] <PsPhaKeR_> shcherbak: How can I reset the terminal to its defaults?
[19:02] <shcherbak> PsPhaKeR_: you mean gnome-terminal? locale?
[19:02] <PsPhaKeR_> shcherbak: yes
[19:02] <PsPhaKeR_> shcherbak: gnome

[19:02] <pankaj> pankaj@ubuntu:/etc/apt$ gksudo gedit/etc/apt/sources.list
[19:03] <pankaj> i will ignore the flood bot
[19:03] <shcherbak> lol
[19:03] <spikemikespike> whats the diff between sudo an gksudo?
[19:03] <pankaj> why can't i open the file for edition
[19:03] <EnigmaticCoder> spikemikespike: sudo is for command line programs, gksu for graphica;
[19:03] <pankaj> what is the apt$
[19:03] <EnigmaticCoder> graphical*
[19:04] <spikemikespike> ahhhhhh
[19:04] <shcherbak> PsPhaKeR_: you have profiles in gnome-terminal, have you edited Default?
[19:04] <PsPhaKeR_> shcherbak: nvm :)
[19:04] <pankaj> Please help me
[19:04] <pankaj> my package managers are dysfunctional now
[19:05] <pankaj> i know i have to edit that file sources.list
[19:05] <pankaj> to solve the problem but i can't
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: if you ignore the flood bot you will be kicked from the room
[19:05] <EnigmaticCoder> pankaj: Have you tried editing the sources.list from the update manager?
[19:05] <PsPhaKeR_> shcherbak: Actually not nvm I did edit tat one :(
[19:05] <pankaj> the update manager crashes
[19:05] <kcorcoran_> v0lksman:  you here?
[19:05] <pankaj> it doesn't even start properly
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: do you use KDE or gnome?
[19:06] <pankaj> i am using xfce ubuntu
[19:06] <BluesKaj> pankaj, close your package manager
[19:06] <shcherbak> pankaj: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list is this command works?
[19:06] <BluesKaj> pankaj, alt+f2 , gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list ..delete the repos or comment it with a #
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: ok try: gksudo mousepad /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:06] <tarelerulz> What is the minimal space ubuntu 10.10 needs to work?
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: its not working because xubuntu uses mousepad, not gedit
[19:06] <spikemikespike> Cand I switch over to KDE in 9.10?
[19:06] <shcherbak> tarelerulz: 100 mb? 150 mb?
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> tarelerulz: do you want a desktop OS, if so, which do you want to use?
[19:07] <PsPhaKeR_> shcherbak: So what command would restore defaults?
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> spikemikespike: sure just install kubuntu-desktop   or kde-core for a slimmer solution
[19:07] <shcherbak> PsPhaKeR_: no idea, one moment...
[19:07] <tarelerulz> Desktop os , I'm using it for surfing the web and watching movies
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> tarelerulz: lubuntu needs just shy of 2Gb
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> !requirements | tarelerulz
[19:08] <pankaj> ok guys i solved the problem without the terminal
[19:08] <spikemikespike> ActionParsnip: is it benifitial?
[19:08] <avg_guy> how to check what version i have installed?
[19:08] <pankaj> i just right clicked on the exclaimation mark  in the task bar
[19:08]  * BluesKaj assumes ppl who ask for help here are running gnome or kde ...i should have asked :)
[19:08] <spikemikespike> sorry cant spell
[19:08] <pankaj> and went into preferences from there i could delete the wrong software sources
[19:08] <magicianlord> i run gnome and openbox
[19:08] <pankaj> thank you \m/
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> spikemikespike: installing only kde-core uses less space as kubuntu-desktop will install a Qt based CD burner and Qt based apps of which you alreay have apps for
[19:08] <chao-mu> My keyboard suddenly started acting funny. I lost my mapping of control to the alt key and suddenly control+t no longer opened an new tab in firefox and alt+tab no longer switches between windows
[19:09] <michel> hey guys in this link, can anyone please tell me what's my ubuntu version http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
[19:09] <chao-mu> I've gone to system -> preferences -> keyboard and cleaned out all my customisations
[19:09] <rtdos> is there a list of other window managers available for ubuntu rather than just xfce, gnome, or kde ?
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: its good to ask dude
[19:09] <ender2070> KDE apps are better
[19:09] <chao-mu> butI still have the problem with control+t and alt+tab
[19:09] <magicianlord> rtdos: openbox is the one for you
[19:09] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip, yup, so true
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: i suggest you run: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mousepad /usr/bin/gedit
[19:09] <rtdos> does lubuntu use openbox, magicianlord?
[19:09] <pankaj> Action i got my problem solved
[19:10] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: It appears that adding the mozilla PPA , it sees the plugins correctly when i do "about:plugins"  nothing was listed before, now everything including flash is.  Im also running the original version of FF and FF4 beta 9pre.....it must have been fixed with 9pre, cause FF 4 beta 8 didnt work.
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> rtdos: it uses openbox as the WM and LXDE as the DE
[19:10] <shcherbak> PsPhaKeR_: not tested, make back ups! -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/14487/how-to-reset-the-terminal-properties-and-preferences
[19:10] <chao-mu> I also noticed that in zev control+t is ascting different than other combinations. I get "KeymapNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0" and then a bunch of zeros
[19:10] <edbian> I noticed that windows 7 and Ubuntu have almost identical system requirements.  Why is this?
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Code_Bleu: nice, watch the updates as it will upgrade  3.6 to namaroka
[19:10] <spikemikespike> Action: What apps?
[19:10] <pankaj> Action i got my problem solved i just had to right click on the exclaimation mark and select preferences
[19:10] <pankaj> thank you
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> spikemikespike: all the stuff which is default in KUbuntu
[19:11] <Code_Bleu> ActionParsnip: k, thanks
[19:11] <spikemikespike> AHHhh
[19:11] <pankaj> i deleted the rougue repositories now the package managers are running fine :)
[19:11] <shcherbak> edbian: production standarts?
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: make the symlink, it'll make support a lot easier
[19:11] <edbian> shcherbak: what does that mean?
[19:11] <pankaj> symlink?
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> spikemikespike: exactly, so you'll have 3 text editors and 2 file managers
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/mousepad /usr/bin/gedit
[19:11] <magicianlord> is there a lightweight terminal web browser that's as functional and responsive as links, but with flash and other bloat support?
[19:11] <socomm> Hey im trying to do a wlist but am getting "network is down" on my wlan0
[19:12] <NixGeek> how can I, using metacity, have a window stay always on bottom?
[19:12] <pankaj> what does the symlink do
[19:12] <shcherbak> edbian: That sowfware is written for more-less contemporaty hardware
[19:12] <socomm> anyone know how to bring wlan0 up, i've tried ifconfig wlan0
[19:12] <spikemikespike> ok then
[19:12] <socomm> ifconfig wlan0 up i meant
[19:12] <VCoolio> NixGeek: try devilspie
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: most assume gnome in here which ships with gedit, xubuntu uses mousepad which is waaaay lighter so if you run that command, you will be able to use the gedit command and it will make mousepad run :)
[19:12] <rtdos> ok, here are the WM i've found: xfce4, gnome, kde, openbox, fluxbox, icewm - did i miss any ?
[19:12] <rtdos> what about opengem?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> rtdos: xfce4 isnt a WM, nor is gnome or kde
[19:12] <BluesKaj> socomm, iwconfig
[19:13] <magicianlord> XFCE is not worth it compared to GNOME. Use Openbox if you want a light and sleek window manager.
[19:13] <VCoolio> rtdos: enlightenment, awesome, musca, just a lot
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> rtdos: kde is a desktop and uses KWIN as its WM
[19:13] <socomm> BluesKaj: any particular flags? i've tried iwconfig wlan0 up
[19:13] <edbian> shcherbak: Fedora's system requirements are substantially lower than Ubuntu's.  How do two graphical gnome distros vary so vastly in system requirements?
[19:13] <pankaj> so that is why the gedit didn't work for me?
[19:13] <chao-mu> control+tab and control+shift+tab are also suddenly not working...
[19:13] <NixGeek> I've looked at it, but how would I set it up to keep tilda (a terminal) on bottom?  I have the terminal clear and on my desktop, overlayed
[19:13] <pankaj> because i have mousepad and not gnome
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> rtdos: (K) (D)esktop (E)nvironment   0 massive clue
[19:14] <pankaj> am i talking sense?
[19:14] <rtdos> alright, what other desktops are there, ActionParsnip?
[19:14] <mouch> hi evrybody!
[19:14] <Iamred> Installing ubuntu! :D
[19:14] <BluesKaj> socomm, sudo dhclient wlan0
[19:14] <chao-mu> mouch: Hello
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: yes, you dont have it installed, but the symlink will make mousepad launch when you run gedit
[19:14] <pankaj> i got it
[19:14] <socomm> BluesKaj: ..... wlan0 is not up .....
[19:14] <socomm> my question is how do I bring up WLAN0
[19:14] <Iamred> WiFi?
[19:15] <erUSUL> socomm: sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[19:15] <magicianlord> socomm: iwconfig wlan0 up
[19:15] <shcherbak> edbian: Hard for me to argue, pretty much run Ubuntu on everything from 600 mH to i5, strongest compromise was to use Xfce on pentium III.
[19:15] <mouch> i need a help, i want to write a program with C. I have installed build-essential.
[19:15] <SandCube> is there any app to easy add/delete DNS zones on ubuntu?
[19:15] <magicianlord> socomm: dhcp wlan0
[19:15] <glaceman> how to know my version of ubuntu please, hardy,intrepid etc.. ?
[19:15] <magicianlord> or ifconfig
[19:15] <magicianlord> glaceman: open terminal, then type uname -a
[19:15] <erUSUL> glaceman: lsb_release -a
[19:15] <BluesKaj> socomm, ifup wlan0
[19:15] <minus> mouch: do you know C?
[19:16] <erUSUL> !version > glaceman
[19:16] <NixGeek> rtdos: teachnically xfce4, gnome, kde are desktop enviroments and openbox, fluxbox, icewm are window managers
[19:16] <mouch> but i don't know which program to use to write the programm
[19:16] <satyk> pidgin crashes in ubuntu 10.10 when starting an audio call
[19:16] <mouch> i want to learn C
[19:16] <magicianlord> NixGeek: yes. hi
[19:16] <erUSUL> !ide | mouch anjuta is nice
[19:16] <NixGeek> magicianlord: hi
[19:17] <mouch> i have install emacs also
[19:17] <Iuly> hello all ! Does anybody knows how to fix a failure in Rhytmbox? It closes when you try to open a .pls . There is an error window wich says there is a failure it Gstreamer. Thanks!
[19:17] <Griz64> How can I force the reinstall of a package?
[19:17] <VCoolio> NixGeek: http://foosel.org/linux/devilspie, something like (if (is (application_name) "tilda") (begin (below)))
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Griz64: sudo apt-get --reinstall install name
[19:17] <mouch> i have to write the programm first from another part?
[19:17] <NixGeek> rtdos: look here for a full list: http://xwinman.org/
[19:18] <NixGeek> VCoolio: thank you, i'll have a look
[19:18] <Griz64> ActionParsnip, Thank You, Sir.
[19:18] <rtdos> thanks nixgeek
[19:18] <pankaj> i typed the command i hope the symlink is created
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> rtdos: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=764060    if you search software centre stuff will come up
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: you can test with:  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:19] <NixGeek> rtdos: your welcome, i've done some searching before on the topic due to wanting to install debian on an old gateway with a 133mhz processor.
[19:19] <glaceman> i  need to change "HARDY" to my version deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu hardy main
[19:19] <IsmAvatar> hey guys, what's the boot screen program called for 10.10?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> IsmAvatar: plymouth
[19:19] <IsmAvatar> thank you
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> glaceman: lsb_release -c   will tell you the code name
[19:20] <IsmAvatar> and how do I get Plymouth working with my GeForce 9200? It's reverted to textual rather than graphical
[19:20] <glaceman> thanks ActionParsnip
[19:20] <pankaj> Actionparsnip: Its working !!! thank you
[19:20] <magicianlord> IsmAvatar: what is your issue
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: thats the symlink working
[19:21] <IsmAvatar> magicianlord: the boot screen is displaying as text, rather than the Ubuntu image.
[19:21] <magicianlord> IsmAvatar: this is normal. it happens when you install the nvidia drivers.
[19:21] <naitso> bye
[19:21] <rtdos> nixgeek, how'd it go on the 133?
[19:22] <pankaj> linux is not that difficult after all i am learning its fun
[19:22] <IsmAvatar> magicianlord: is there a way to switch to the graphical one?
[19:23] <magicianlord> it is fun for the whole family
[19:23] <pankaj> where can i get a good soft copy of d a book to learn and understand linux commands
[19:23] <NixGeek> rtdos: not well....  I moved the harddrive to another old computer with a 1.2GHZ processor (i think) and installed xubunut after I found a stick of 512MB ram laying around
[19:23] <Bunbury> anyone know how to install ibm jdk 6 or jrockit r28.1 on meerkat?
[19:23] <magicianlord> IsmAvatar: yes, but if you switch the graphical logo will be at an ugly, lower resolution, because the nvidia drivers cannot accomodoate kernel-setting mode. i suggest you either keep the text one, or disable the splash altogether. i keep the text
[19:24] <NixGeek> rtdos: on the 133GHZ you could do text processing and a few other things, but videos or anything like that was impossible.  I used XFCE
[19:24] <shcherbak> !man | pankaj
[19:24] <pankaj> ok thanks :)
[19:24] <mdgeorge> hello
[19:24] <magicianlord> pankaj: use the manual "man PROGRAM_NAME" or the arch wiki
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> !manual | pankaj
[19:25] <magicianlord> he said linux. not using the web
[19:25] <mdgeorge> I'm having trouble finding the real time or low latency kernel for maverick
[19:25] <FloodBot4> !netsplit
[19:25] <mdgeorge> apt-cache search linux-image doesn't show either
[19:25] <anon33_> Does anyone here know how to fix Banshee's bugginess on 10.10?
[19:25] <NixGeek> Wt
[19:25] <glaceman> anyone able to sync data between wm6.1 on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[19:25] <nital> I have encountered a most peculiar case of a ubuntu glitch
[19:25] <NixGeek> man, something just happened
[19:25] <magicianlord> nital: what is it, homie
[19:25] <mdgeorge> do I need to enable a special repo?
[19:26] <IsmAvatar> magicianlord: for a simple boot screen that's only showing a simple logo and a couple dots, I think low resolution would be more than sufficient.
[19:26] <erUSUL> anon33_: Banshee's bugginess is a very nubelous concept
[19:26] <nital> Namely, whenever I insert the USB plug of the webcam logitech c200, the wlan goes off
[19:26] <erUSUL> !details | anon33_
[19:26] <nital> and ifconfig can't bring the interface back up
[19:26] <magicianlord> IsmAvatar: it looks really ugly though. look up a guide on how to switch the theme from ubuntu-text to ubuntu-logo (you can see it in synaptic)
[19:26] <nital> when checking with rfkill list, I can see that wlan is hard locked, like with a hardware switch...
[19:27] <glaceman> is there a channel for windows mobile devices guys ?
[19:27] <erUSUL> nital: you press a button when you plug the camera? :)
[19:27] <nital> however, plugging off the webcam doesn't help the matter, you have to reboot the system with webcam unplugged to get the wlan working again...
[19:28] <nital> I thought it was some kind of kernel issue, so I updated to 10.10
[19:28] <edbian> nital: Next time it happens look at the output of dmesg
[19:28] <nital> things went better a bit - the wlan seemed to turn off after a random interval of time after plugging the webcam in...
[19:28] <nital> not immediately
[19:29] <IsmAvatar> magicianlord: thanks. I'll be the judge of how ugly it is, but it's probably less ugly than the textual one
[19:29] <nital> edbian: good idea - since it's totally reproducible, I'm off to to that now
[19:29] <nital> *to do
[19:29] <rtdos> nixgeek, in your opinion, is that the best one to install on a small machine?
[19:30] <edbian> nital: It's reproducible so you should make a bug report
[19:31] <MindBlowN808> l
[19:33] <Calli> bonsoir à tous, j'aurai une petite question svp, je suis e train d'essayer d'installer libircclient mais j'y arrive pas et ça me gonfle ><
[19:33] <NixGeek> rtdos: a fulll enviroment would definatly be XFCE, for just winow managers, and of the boxes are lightweight
[19:33] <Myrtti> !fr | Calli
[19:33] <Dr_Willis> lubuntu is a nice 'light' desktop. given how people rarely use 'just' the window manager and a few terminal windows. :) (well most people)
[19:34] <alex-hp> hello everyone! i was wondering if someone could help me with samba to transfer files between linux and windows machines?
[19:34] <rtdos> thanks, nixgeek
[19:34] <Calli> okay thanks i'm sorry
[19:34] <Dr_Willis> its just too old-skool to go back to mounting every usb flash drive by hand. :)
[19:34] <Myrtti> Calli: np
[19:34] <Dr_Willis> alex-hp:  it should work rather easially. There are some known issues witn windows 7
[19:34] <ender2070> KDE is ftw
[19:35] <NixGeek> rtdos: happy to help, hope it helps
[19:35] <alex-hp> Dr_Willis: i am using windows 7, do you recommend and pages that I can look at for solutions to these issues?
[19:35] <Dr_Willis> alex-hp:  short 'guide' install samba, and smbfs, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to set a workgroup,  perhaps enable teh Home shares. -  give users samba password via 'sudo smbpasswd -a username'     make some shares (right click on folder -> shareing)
[19:35] <Diamondcite> KDE is big and doesn't work well on slower systems. I would know.. since I'm using it ^_^
[19:35] <st__> xfce: less featues, same bloat
[19:35] <Dr_Willis> alex-hp:  for win7 the 'main' issue is some window-live-login assistant program that can cause major issues. I had to uninstall that for linux to get to the win7 shares
[19:35] <katesmith> I would like to know something ?  Is there anyone here that had Gastric Bypas surgery?  I want to know if ift is a good idea or not?
[19:36] <Dr_Willis> alex-hp:  let me track down some url;'s
[19:36] <alex-hp> Dr_Willis: thanks

[19:36] <lcb> hi all. please give me a suggestion of a good (non CLI) GUI replacement for webmin, a web interface to control some servers, mainly LAMP. but if possible, more servers on the same tool package .  (let me add i intend to use the interface trough lan, i.e. blocking WWAccess)

[19:37] <BluesKaj> oops

[19:37] <lcb> erUSUL, thanks, that's a start.

[19:38] <cp24eva> Dr Willis, how complex?
[19:38] <spikemikespike> llllllllllllllllllllll
[19:38] <Dr_Willis> cp24eva:  thres also a lot of enhanced conky script/variants out it seems these days.
[19:38] <Dr_Willis> cp24eva:  seems conky has 'grown' a lot of new features in  the last few mo. :) i just do it old-skool style.
[19:38] <spikemikespike> llllllllllllll
[19:38] <cp24eva> i looked in the package manager and whatnot, but cold not find conkyweather

[19:40] <anon33_> anyone here use banshee on 10.10? do you experience slowness?
[19:40] <Myrtti> sion: latest stable or latest alpha?
[19:40] <lcb> erUSUL, just in case.. do you know if there is any workaround to avoid those known glitches of webmin in ubuntu and debian?
[19:40] <sion> The latest Alpha
[19:40] <raven> Dr_Willis, erUSUL ok tnx
[19:40] <BluesKaj> sion, describe , it does nothing
[19:40] <erUSUL> lcb: no; sorry. i've heard of people that uses it with no problems
[19:41] <lcb> erUSUL, okay, thanks a lot
[19:41] <sion> First I start the update manager, then I chose upgrade to 10.10, then I enter my password.....
[19:41] <sion> And it just closes an does nothing
[19:41] <Myrtti> sion: 10.10 is the latest stable though
[19:42] <ichat> hi this must be a stupid question but im asking still,   - i got a really old pc with me tonitgh wich begged me for ubuntu on  it... (xubuntu 10.10)  but when i boot the live cd i have, it just  boots gives the menu  i select my language  and than the monitor get out of sync...  ino i know there is some kind of legacy vga mode ... for these cases but google didnt  gave the answer ?? - so how do i boot the live cd with  low res and refre
[19:42] <sion> Ok does it matter?
[19:42] <Myrtti> sion: from what version are you upgrading from?
[19:42] <sion> I'm trying to upgrade but nothing happens
[19:42] <erUSUL> nital: report it as a kernel bug. apparently when you plug the camera de irq of the usb controller is disabled or some such
[19:42] <sion> I don't know 9 point whatever
[19:43] <nit-wit> sion, open a terminal and run sudo apt-get update and look for errors tell us what they are if any
[19:43] <alkisg> ichat: how much ram on the client?
[19:43] <ichat> 1gb
[19:43] <alkisg> ichat: Heh, and you call that old? :D
[19:43] <ichat> and a old GF5500 card
[19:43] <alkisg> ichat: try pressing F6 and specifying xforcevesa as a kernel parameter
[19:43] <erUSUL> nital: not unique problem http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-kernel-70/strange-interaction-between-mic-webcam-and-wifi-mouse-807689/
[19:44] <erUSUL> nital: unless you are that fakie_flip :)
[19:44] <sion> It came up with 0 errors
[19:44] <Myrtti> sion: you can't upgrade from 9 point whatever straight to 10.10, so you must be doing something wrong or you must be mistaken in something
[19:44] <nital> erUSUL: no, thanks, didn't find it when googling :-)
[19:44] <alkisg> ichat: http://ubuntu.ninetomidnight.com/images/book/options.png

[19:46] <kristofferlc> Hi, i'm an ubuntu newbie trying out the desktop version on my laptop, i was trying to install vlc media player via. the ubuntu software center, but i get a 404 for one of the files, anyone know where to report problem and/or where i can get vlc from a working provider?..
[19:46] <ichat> same error :S
[19:46] <BluesKaj> sion, in the terminal , lsb_release -a , this tells you which ubuntu version ...if you're trying to get to 10.10 then you have a couple of OSs to go
[19:46] <BluesKaj> at least
[19:47] <webmasher> Does anyone know why the apache2 package is so badly outdated? It still uses 2.2.14 which is more than 1 year old; there have been six security patches since then including two closing SSL vulns. I am on 10.04 TLS and apt is up to date.
[19:47] <moocher_> hi.  is there any software for ubuntu that can help me learn 10-key typing?
[19:47] <alkisg> ichat: if it keeps failing, try installing from the alternate cd, which uses a text mode for installation. Not sure if it has xfce though.
[19:47] <luislopes> hello, I'm trying to use my hp 840c on ubuntu, but the parallel port isn't detected, though modprobe loaded both partport and lp
[19:47] <webmasher> It just seems ridiculous to me that such a key and widely used package (apache2) is allowed to be so far out of date.
[19:48] <erUSUL> webmasher: if you are in 10.04 then you are getting securioty patches but as in any other release there are no version bumps
[19:48] <cradam> hi where can u find out the name of your usb sticks, im looking for the sdXY names
[19:48] <ichat> i kinda need it cuze 10.4 gnome crashed it  :S
[19:48] <erUSUL> security*
[19:48] <BluesKaj> cradam, lsusb in the terminal
[19:48] <webmasher> erUSUL - Apache 2.2.15 and 2.2.16 contain the patches so I don't have them if I'm on 2.2.14 right?
[19:48] <alkisg> ichat: you can install it afterwards, even on your current installation, if it's still running in text mode
[19:49] <nit-wit> erUSUL, you will get the 10.10upgrade if you set the software sourecs for normal updates/upgrades
[19:49] <StevenX> Hi. Can anyone point me to a how-to on getting Zune support on Ubuntu?
[19:49] <erUSUL> webmasher: yes you have them distros backport securioty patches when needed
[19:49] <Doinkle> cradam, as well as lsusb, you can x-reference with df -h
[19:49] <Rubberduck_LV> kristofferlc: in terminal: sudo apt-get update  then sudo apt-get install vlc then sudo apt-get install -f
[19:49] <erUSUL> webmasher: yes you have them distros backport security patches when needed
[19:49] <ichat> can i safely remove gnome and its debs than>??
[19:49] <doalittledance> Which edition/download is recommended for ATI graphics cards? (specifically HD 5770)
[19:50] <webmasher> erSUL - Oh OK thanks. That would explain why the build said Nov 2010. I guess they backport?
[19:50] <erUSUL> webmasher: that's part of their job
[19:50] <webmasher> erUSUL Oh ok.
[19:50] <kristofferlc> Rubberduck_LV: thanks, will try that. :)
[19:50] <webmasher> erUSUL impressive, then!
[19:51] <BluesKaj> doalittledance, do you mean which driver for the card or ?
[19:51] <ichat> is there a command to remove gnome desktop and than install xfce than?
[19:52] <webmasher> erUSUL Thanks for your help that puts my mind at ease and I can skip all the manual compiling I used to do.
[19:52] <erUSUL> webmasher: no problem
[19:52] <webmasher> have a good wknd!
[19:53] <doalittledance> BluesKaj: which installer, actually. though I don't know if that's the question I should be asking.
[19:53] <kristofferlc> Rubberduck_LV: i get same 404 error
[19:53] <alkisg> ichat: see here for switching from gnome to kubuntu, the gnome part applies for switching to xfce too: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE

[19:53] <Rubberduck_LV> kristofferlc: one moment.....
[19:54] <kristofferlc> i'm thinking it's only the danish server missing it?..
[19:54] <BluesKaj> doalittledance, which ubuntu version are you on ?
[19:56] <doalittledance> BluesKaj: I'm trying to install 10.10 AMD 64 but failing. the alternate install gets stuck on updating list of available packages (73%) and the desktop installer crashes mid-installation
[19:56] <Rubberduck_LV> kristofferlc: have a look at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ubuntu.html
[19:57] <sabina> a
[19:57] <kcorcoran_> anyone available to assist getting my tuner card configured?  when i run the channel scan it does not find any channels.  using a hauppage WinTV-HVR 1600.  any help appreciated.
[19:57] <kcorcoran_> trying to configure mythbuntu
[19:57] <sabina> scan #ubuntu
[19:58] <MagicLemon> lol
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> kcorcoran_:  I recall the interface in mythbutnu being a little odd last i used it. I think there is the #mythbuntu channel also.
[19:58] <Kraken19_> what were you talking about xiven?
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> kcorcoran_:  i was thinking some pull down menu was defaulting to the wrong 'device' last i used it. (2 yr ago)
[19:58] <kcorcoran_> Dr_Willis:  from what i have been told mythbuntu is easier to setup than mythtv
[19:58] <mgj> kristofferlc, yeah, the danish mirror is actually pretty horrible. I've completely stopped using because i was having the same issues as you - missing packages
[19:59] <mgj> i can only recommend you to use the main server
[19:59] <kcorcoran_> Dr_Willis:  i am on the mythbuntu channel, but no help there so far...been trying for a few days
[19:59] <kristofferlc> how do i get to the main server then?
[19:59] <BluesKaj> doalittledance, how much RAM is installed , because if it's less then 4G then a 32bit alternate install might work
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> kcorcoran_:  mythtv config 'program' is the same  -  I just recall the setup wizard - i had to use some pull down menu to select my actual card. it waswent smart enough to select the proper card.
[19:59] <mgj> kristofferlc, i believe you can set it up in synaptics
[19:59] <ichat> do i first remove  ubuntu  or do i first  install xubuntu???
[19:59] <mgj> kristofferlc, under settings -> repositories if im not mistaken
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> ichat:  what are you trying to acomplish exactly?
[19:59] <kristofferlc> thanks, will try, just a sec
[20:00] <mgj> np, good luck
[20:00] <doalittledance> BluesKaj: that would be ubuntu-10.10-alternate-i386 ?
[20:00] <ichat> gome brakes my system to a constand 100% cpu load. and i wanted to see if xubuntu could fix
[20:00] <BluesKaj> yes
[20:00] <ichat> because its lighter
[20:00] <doalittledance> BluesKaj: will try that, thank you.
[20:00] <kcorcoran_> Dr_Willis:  that's the issue i am having...i can select the card, however when i perform a channel scan; no channels found
[20:00] <BluesKaj> doalittledance, yes
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> ichat:  install xubuntu-desktop package, select xfce at the login screen.
[20:01] <BluesKaj> doalittledance, , I hope it works
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> ichat:  no need to 'remove' anything.. I would guess that its some specific app thats causing high load..  not 'gnome' in general.
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> ichat:  you could determine whats usong the cpu so much and try to 'fix' gnome.
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> ichat:  if you want the least resource hog. - that would be 'lubuntu'
[20:02] <Kraken19_> anybody tried lubuntu yet?
[20:03] <BLack_Pete> If I want to print a pdf in Ubuntu Netbook remix, the print dialogue is too big for the screen and I cannot access the "Print" or "OK" or Cancel buttons at the bottom of the box. Is there a way to resize the dialogue box?
[20:03] <enzo_> !list
[20:03] <alkisg> BLack_Pete: left alt+mouse drag the window
[20:03] <Ryu_Kurisu> Kraken19_: Once, it's pretty good....you can ask any questions you want on #lubuntu :)
[20:03] <ichat> Dr_Willis:  - in specific  its a  celron northwood  1600mhz  qith 1gb ddr 266 and a  GF5500 -  i first installed   8.04 gnome running verry smooth, than it got updated to  10.4 (by mistake) and the update went good  BUT the sound doens work and the cpu gets up to  95 / 100 %
[20:04] <BLack_Pete> Thanks, I'll try it now
[20:04] <alkisg> ichat: what app is causing the load? See from system monitor or from `top` on the terminal...
[20:04] <ichat> i don know htop isn  clear
[20:04] <magik-> So I have a linux server connected to comcast broadband.. help me understand domains.. i.e. dhcpd.conf 'option domain-name "exp.org"; If i'm on dhcp braodband what do I do with this?
[20:05] <no_dvi_output> hello all
[20:05] <kristofferlc> mgj: thanks alot, it worked, in the ubuntu software center the path was "edit -> software scources" and then just change the server from danish mirror to main server... Thanks again. :)
[20:06] <Rubberduck_LV> kristofferlc: great! and you fixed it yourself. linux rocks (og vlc er rigtig god!)
[20:06] <ichat> it seams like  mplayer,  and firefox   are both causing it,  where they didnt with the 8.04 install (same version of firefox thogh...  3.5x
[20:06] <no_dvi_output> anyone out there with a not working DVI after upgrading to 10.10?
[20:06] <Ryu_Kurisu> no_dvi_output: Let me guess...you've got no dvi output? ;)
[20:07] <no_dvi_output> correct conclusion Ryu_Kurisu :)
[20:07] <BluesKaj> no_dvi_output, which card ?
[20:07] <no_dvi_output> an integrated intel 3100
[20:07] <Jax123> hi, jsut compiled vlc under 10.10 and i'm getting this error:
[20:08] <Jax123> vlc: error while loading shared libraries: libvlc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[20:08] <no_dvi_output> I believe that it's not the xorg.conf but the kernel itself
[20:08] <Jax123> which vlc
[20:08] <Jax123> /usr/local/bin/vlc
[20:08] <kristofferlc> Rubberduck_LV: yeah, well thanks for the help anyway. :) And yeah, i'm quite happy with linux so far. :) (og tak for den tid du gad lige i at forsøge at hjælpe)

[20:11] <Nanoha> Hi all!  I got a question about network cards in general with ubuntu.  I bought two 10/100/1000 NIC's.  Currently accourding to network manager, I've got a connection speed of 100 Mbps.  How can I increase this to the 1000 Mbps mode?
[20:11] <BluesKaj> no_dvi_output, does the analog out to the monitor work ?
[20:11] <RippleEffect> How do I use the md5sum command? I read the man page but I don't get it. I always get the error "file not found".
[20:11] <no_dvi_output> it always used to work, I think even back in the 7.xy days, but now just to have a cleanly installed system I installed 10.10 from scratch, as said no DVI output, just VGA. Then I installed 10.04 from scratch and DVI output works out of the box, eventually I did the upgrade to 10.10 and using the DVI interface was not possible anymore
[20:12] <no_dvi_output> yes, BluesKaj, I am using the VGA connector now
[20:12] <rewt> Nanoha, what's the other end of the cable connected to?
[20:13] <Nanoha> rewt: my dsl modem
[20:13] <rewt> Nanoha, does that have 10/100 or 10/100/1000?
[20:13] <erUSUL> Nanoha: that depends not only on your card  speed but also in the other's end speed aswell
[20:13] <kcorcoran_> is is possible to remote into a ubuntu workstation from another workstation?  like terminal services?
[20:13] <BluesKaj> no_dvi_output, is there an intel giu control ?
[20:14] <Nanoha> rewt: I'm not sure.  Is there a way i can tell?
[20:14] <no_dvi_output> how do you mean BluesKaj? a control tool for the graphics card?
[20:14] <somaunn> kcorcoran_, yes it's possible
[20:14] <rewt> Nanoha, it might be in the manual, but my guess is it's only 10/100
[20:14] <BluesKaj> no_dvi_output, yes
[20:14] <Nanoha> rewt: hmmm, okay.  I'll see if I can look it up.  Might have to google it then.
[20:14] <somaunn> kcorcoran_, ssh from CLI
[20:14] <Nanoha> Thanks!
[20:15] <no_dvi_output> not that I know of BluesKaj
[20:15] <rewt> Nanoha, how fast is your dsl?
[20:15] <mouch> sombody know how compile a program with C to search the password???????
[20:16] <mouch> sombody know how compile a program with C to search the passwords???????
[20:16] <no_dvi_output> from what I have read on the fora , it seems that others, with other cards have the same issue with DVI
[20:16] <rewt> mouch, probably with gcc
[20:16] <kcorcoran_> somaunn:  any links i can follow up with or any chance you can walk me through it?
[20:16] <RippleEffect> Any idea?
[20:16] <Nanoha> rewt: Tested at 5 Mbps
[20:16] <st__> !cracking
[20:16] <somaunn> kcorcoran_, u better google ssh
[20:17] <somaunn> kcorcoran_, from there u can find more info
[20:17] <Rubberduck_LV> RippleEffect: here I just use md5sum filename
[20:17] <rewt> Nanoha, in that case it doesn't really matter if your nic goes at 100 or 1000; the actual data will only go as fast as the slowest link, which is not more than your dsl link
[20:17] <RippleEffect> Rubberduck_LV, but what if you want to use the md5sum command with a password?
[20:17] <erUSUL> !info jack | mouch why writte your own?
[20:17] <kcorcoran_> somaunn:  using ssh, will it only offer CLI on the remote station - or does it display the gui?
[20:18] <mitzed> hi all  anyone konows if is possilble to run encarta  in ubuntu?
[20:18] <erUSUL> !info john | mouch why writte your own?
[20:18] <erUSUL> !appdb | mitzed
[20:18] <Nanoha> okay.  thanks!
[20:18] <somaunn> kcorcoran_, not at all
[20:18] <somaunn> kcorcoran_, it's command line
[20:19] <somaunn> kcorcoran_, u need gui?
[20:19] <kcorcoran_> okay, i am looking for something that will perform gui display on the remote desktop - like a vnc client.  any ideas?
[20:19] <Rubberduck_LV> I don't get it password ? why? md5sum is just a check of file integrity
[20:19] <spajderix> hi
[20:19] <BluesKaj> kcorcoran_, try teamviewer
[20:20] <kcorcoran_> somaun:  yes, i need a gui...new to ubuntu and trying to stick with it before getting frustrating.  easing in to it's use
[20:20] <Nanoha> Okay, so another question regarding network speed.  I saw things on the internet called TCP optimizer for windows, that doubles internet speed.  Is there any tweaks or programs I can use to do something simular with ubuntu?
[20:20] <mitzed> ok
[20:20] <no_dvi_output> kcorcoran_, or nx-server from nomachine.org
[20:20] <Promyk> hi
[20:21] <kcorcoran_> i searched teamviewer in synaptic - nothing listed
[20:21] <kcorcoran_> isn't nx-server more of a vm configuration?
[20:21] <no_dvi_output> you need to fetch it from teamviewer.com itself
[20:21] <erUSUL> Nanoha: TCP optimizer == snake oil ?
[20:21] <somaunn> kcorcoran_, it's better for you to google it
[20:21] <Silent93> hey any ideas why the 10.10 install disk fails to load, it shows the 4 dots loading screen but then crashes with most of the screen white and a bar at the top and bottom with blue/green stripes?
[20:21] <Silent93> Its a nvidea 7300 card seeming as I guess its that
[20:22] <no_dvi_output> vm as virtual machine?
[20:22] <no_dvi_output> actually no, it's not
[20:22] <Nanoha> erUSUL: I'm not sure what "snake oil" is
[20:22] <Rubberduck_LV> Nanoha: Don't believe everything you see on the internet
[20:22] <kcorcoran_> i am using google; however i am not seeing the answers to my questions there, so i am asking here
[20:22] <markturnip> How do I install netconfig?
[20:22] <no_dvi_output> no_dvi_output :(
[20:22] <spajderix> I have been monitoring loadavg of a few machines and noticed something weird. Given the manual corresponding to loadavg file in /proc/ which says: The
[20:22] <RippleEffect> Any ida?
[20:22] <spajderix>               fourth field consists of two numbers separated by a slash (/).  The first of these is the number of  currently  executing  kernel  scheduling
[20:22] <RippleEffect> Any idea?
[20:23] <spajderix>    entities  (processes,  threads);  this  will  be less than or equal to the number of CPUs.
[20:23] <Travis-42> is there any way to make linux hold down a key, say alt, for as long as I want?
[20:23] <erUSUL> Nanoha: placebo; something that does not really works
[20:23] <spajderix> I have noticed that this value shows above number of my cpus
[20:23] <Nanoha> erUSUL: oh, okay.
[20:24] <spajderix> can anyone tell my why is that?
[20:24] <mouch> So i ha ve to write sudo apt-get install maverik?
[20:25] <no_dvi_output> mouch, what is your question?
[20:25] <shcherbak> mouch: Rather not.
[20:26] <mouch> which package i have to install
[20:26] <no_dvi_output> maverick is an entire release of ubuntu, not a package
[20:26] <no_dvi_output> what do you want to do?
[20:26] <no_dvi_output> upgrade to maverick or so?
[20:28] <esperteyu> hola
[20:28] <erUSUL> !es | esperteyu
[20:30] <mgj> kristofferlc, no problem, glad it worked out for you =)
[20:30] <mouch> C'è qualcuno che chatta in italiano?
[20:30] <erUSUL> !it | mouch
[20:30] <Travis-42> is there any way to make a key stuck on purpose? like I want "alt" to always be pressed for a period of time?
[20:31] <mouch> Thank you
[20:38] <Rubberduck_LV> Travis-42: Have a look at http://www.python-forum.org/pythonforum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9513
[20:39] <clgshaft> hey guys, i have an issue with ubuntu 10.10 not recognizing and initializing a hauppage 1600
[20:39] <Travis-42> Rubberduck_LV, that might work, thanks
[20:39] <markturnip> I can't apt-get netconfig? However I'm reinstalling Ubuntu Server anyway, is it possible to add it during install?
[20:43] <Digistras> how do i stop ubuntu from asking for password if the computer have been idle for some time?
[20:43] <Digistras> is damn annoying!!
[20:43] <Doinkle> Digistras, screensaver settings
[20:45] <somaunn> leaving u guys, need to rest a bit
[20:50] <Bodsda> Hi - when I type something into the url bar in firefox, is there a way to make it google the entry if its not a valid url? Currently it uses my isp's search engine
[20:51] <rusty149> Bodsda: Omnibar addon
[20:51] <Jarvis> the default mirror on the download page for the UK seems to either overloaded or slowwww .. goscomb one is good tho
[20:51] <ddt_> hello
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> Bodsda: http://redchaos.wordpress.com/2008/03/25/set-google-back-to-the-default-search-engine-url-search/
[20:52] <ddt_> Have installed live cd ubuntu ver 10. Need edit grub menu list - but can not find it. Where it is please?
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> Bodsda: http://www.firefoxfacts.com/2008/01/13/change-default-search-in-firefox/
[20:52] <Bodsda> rusty149: ActionParsnip cheers guys
[20:52] <Jarvis> ActionParsnip: easiest way is just to click reset for the key
[20:52] <Jarvis> on mine it defaulted to google
[20:52] <rusty149> !grub | ddt_
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Jarvis: no idea personally, I don't use firefox
[20:53] <Jarvis> ah :)
[20:53] <ddt_> ubottu: need add some more OS into grub menu.
[20:53] <rusty149> ddt_: It is different now using Grub2 in ubuntu
[20:53] <markturnip> Can anyone help me run netconfig on Ubuntu server?
[20:53] <Diverdude> I am trying to count the number of words in a pdf file. I tried like this: pdftotext myfile.pdf | wc -w    but it always return 0. Any other suggestions? What might i be missing?
[20:54] <ddt_> ubottu: I wanted to add some more OS into grub menu and then make boot sector image for windows menu. But for that I first must find OS list.
[20:55] <rusty149> ddt_: Is windows installed?
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: perhaps: pdftotext YOUR_PDF.pdf YOUR_PDF.txt; wc YOUR_PDF.txt -w
[20:55] <ddt_> yes - it is
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: or: pdftotext YOUR_PDF.pdf - | wc -w
[20:56] <ddt_> rusty149: also ubuntu is installed - I am on it now
[20:56] <rusty149> ddt_: run: sudo update grub2
[20:56] <Diverdude> ActionParsnip, ahhh the '-' was missing. What does that do?
[20:56] <ddt_> rusty149: what it will do?
[20:56] <rusty149> ddt_: That will scan all OS's again and add windows to GRUB
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> Diverdude: no idea. source: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=566407
[20:57] <ddt_> rusty149: I dont have all my OS installed yet - but want to put it manually into the menu yet.
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> rusty149: you may need to run: sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub
[20:58] <rusty149> ActionParsnip: Is that installed by default?
[20:58] <hihihi100> i am running simutrans as downloaded from their site. HOwever, I downloaded it onto a directory where I dont need superuser privileges. If I extract it onto usr/games, would I have problems?
[20:58] <Syria> Hi, How can I close the laptop lid without hibernating or suspending or anything else.
[20:58] <KingChillbill> hi I am trying to connect to a ftp-server with sftp. the server expects explicit ssl but I dont know which option to use? Google and the man could not help me.
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> rusty149: not sure, but the command will simply say it's already installed then go to the next command
[20:59] <newwuserr> hello anyone can help
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> Syria: I believe its in power options
[20:59] <newwuserr> have just get the ubuntu 10.10
[20:59] <Lantchips> !ask | newwuserr
[20:59] <Mannequin> hi. I've noticed that Rhythmbox won't play .ape files (on mu Ubuntu 10.10 install). Other players (Movie player, VLC) and even hovering over them on Nautilus play .ape files without a glitch.
[20:59] <rusty149> ddt_: ActionParsnip: Sure well, follow that command to be certain. You can run update-grub2 after each OS install. Never failed for me. :)
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> Mannequin: log a bug / is one already logged?
[21:00] <newwuserr> the battery says laptop baterry charge
[21:00] <newwuserr> and it is not
[21:00] <newwuserr> it is at 4 percent
[21:00] <ddt_> rusty149: OK. thank you - but can I change settings inside the grub menu - during the showing boot menu?
[21:00] <Syria> ActionParsnip But no one of the options worked for me, even blank screen because I lose the picture on my lcd screen when I close the laptop lid.
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> newwuserr: are you fully upgraded?
[21:00] <newwuserr> i just downloaded it
[21:00] <newwuserr> put it on usb
[21:00] <newwuserr> and started
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> newwuserr: ease up on the enter key lad
[21:01] <newwuserr> okay
[21:01] <Mannequin> ActionParsnip: I've seen a logged bug at Launchpad, and even a fix/workaround (disabling crossfade functionality) which didn't worked for me (as I didn't have it enabled)
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> newwuserr: get full updates, this may help
[21:01] <Mannequin> I'll look deeper on Launchpad and Ubuntu forum before posting a bug
[21:01] <newwuserr> where do you get that
[21:01] <rusty149> ddt_: During GRUB boot you can change them temporarily. But to make permanent changes edit after ubuntu boots. The files to edit have changed now though so follow the how-tos
[21:02] <Mannequin> in the meanwhile, I'm using Guayadeque, which looks a bit ugly but plays .ape files flawlessly.
[21:03] <ddt_> rusty149: but what file I must to change? I am confused.
[21:03] <bastl> hello. I want to partition a harddisk, but it isnt shown in GPartEd. OTOH, I can mount it manually ... I booted a live 10.10 from a USB-Stick.
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> newwuserr: use System -> Admin -> Update Manager
[21:03] <rusty149> !grub | ddt_:
[21:03] <pooltable> hi what is the best way to test how fast my computer is ?
[21:04] <rusty149> ddt_: Sorry that is old one,  use this  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[21:04] <bastl> Why is the disk not shown ?
[21:05] <ddt_> ok rusty 149 and ubottu - thank you. going to read it first.
[21:05] <rusty149> lol
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> pooltable: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/11/15/benchmark-your-linux-system-with-hardinfo/
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> bastl: if you can mount it then it is partitioned
[21:05] <chris_bsd> ddt_: ubottu is a computer program, a bot
[21:05] <bastl> ActionParsnip I want to repartition it.
[21:06] <negev> does anyone know how to download from ubuntu using wget?  they seem to have changed things recently and the methods i've found with google no longer work
[21:06] <negev> er sorry, from rapidshare :)
[21:06] <ddt_> ahh - got me :D
[21:06] <bastl> and it should be shown in GParted no?
[21:06] <socomm> I've a machine with HDMI output
[21:06] <rusty149> negev: wget [url]
[21:06] <esperteyu> ubuntu en español
[21:07] <socomm> anyone know how to enable the HDMI output?
[21:07] <socomm> is there something i gotta do?
[21:07] <Jordan_U> !es | esperteyu
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> bastl: if you use sudo fdisk diskname     (not the partition), e.g.   sudo fdisk /dev/sdb     then you can delete the partition there (make sure the partition is unmounted before you run the command)
[21:07] <linxeh> socomm: it depends on the graphics typically
[21:07] <socomm> linxeh: ?
[21:07] <esperteyu> gracies
[21:07] <linxeh> socomm: the mythtv/mythbuntu wikis are usually quite helpful for this kind of thing
[21:08] <linxeh> socomm: some graphics cards need prodding to get them to work on the hdmi output, others dont. some are even more problematic with sound over hdmi
[21:08] <linxeh> negev: how do you mean ?
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> pooltable: http://www.roylongbottom.org.uk/linux%20benchmarks.htm
[21:09] <bastl> ActionParsnip: My question is: Why do the partitions not appear in GParted? (Another Disk (sda) is shown correctly. fdisk -l shows the partitions of sdb correctly. But not GParted ..
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> negev: as long as the ISO passes MD5 test then you can get it anywhere you wish. I advise torrents for maximum speed as well as parity due to the torrent protocol
[21:10] <rusty149> bastl: Are you selecting the other device from the drop-down menu?
[21:10] <bastl> ouch!
[21:10] <bastl> its been a time i used the tool :-)
[21:10] <socomm> lol
[21:10] <socomm> thinking maybe building my media box from ubuntu was not such good idea
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> bastl: not sure man, as rusty says, make sure you change the disk in gparted
[21:11] <ron_> anyone know why ubuntu wont recognize any device with removable media
[21:11] <Borat> I've just updated to 10.10 but now ut2004 has no sound. When I exit I see this: pause_audiodevice stubbed for 0x3

[21:18] <brack101> rusty149, use apt?
[21:19] <rusty149> brack101: no
[21:19] <meco> Is there any competitive alternative to torrents? And what are the most recommended clients?

[21:19] <rusty149> brack101: is hard drive (ubuntu partition) mounted?
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> meco: ubuntu comes with transmission installed as part of a default install
[21:19] <brack101> rusty149, nope.
[21:20] <cp24eva> Actionparsnip, i see the program and the program is open, but when I search for a movie then nothing happens. The "loading" icon appears on and off, but no results
[21:20] <rusty149> brack101: Is it in Places
[21:20] <Rails3> anyone know of a chan that deals with background checks?
[21:20] <pooltable> ram question how will i know if a type of ram will work for a motherboard thanks ??
[21:20] <brack101> rusty149, not sure what places is.  Shouuld I just mount it?
[21:20] <rusty149> brack101: yes
[21:20] <ron_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/551925/
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> ron_: is that after you plug in the device?>

[21:21] <ron_> ActionParsnip: yes
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> ron_: is it a wireless device?
[21:22] <ron_> ActionParsnip: no a card reader
[21:22] <rusty149> brack101: sudo fdisk -l
[21:22] <meco> ActionParsnip: Good question... I guess I want something that has good support and is liked by many...
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> ron_: ok, pull the device out, shove it back in then rerun the command. what is output?
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> meco: all the clients in the repo are equally supported
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> meco: liked by many is completely moot
[21:23] <meco> ActionParsnip: OK..
[21:24] <Digistras> is there a disk check utility? I don't know why but my ubuntu hangs quite frequently and the whole system is not responding after it hangs....i have to force restart
[21:24] <Digistras> is there a disk check utility in ubuntu? I don't know why but my ubuntu hangs quite frequently and the whole system is not responding after it hangs....i have to force restart
[21:24] <brack101> rusty149, mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hd -t ext3?
[21:24] <brack101> it's not taking that
[21:24] <ron_> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/551927/
[21:25] <rusty149> brack101: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/hd

[21:25] <Djalo> is anyone here ?
[21:25] <Digistras> is there a disk check utility in ubuntu? I don't know why but my ubuntu hangs quite frequently and the whole system is not responding after it hangs....i have to force restart
[21:25] <ron_> ActionParsnip: looks the same to me
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> meco: you are using an OS which thrives on choice and freedom, yet you are seeming to look for the most used solution which smacks of Windows as you are being controlled in your choice by others. Try a few clients and see which you like, then use that]
[21:25] <Digistras> is there a disk check utility in ubuntu? I don't know why but my ubuntu hangs quite frequently and the whole system is not responding after it hangs....i have to force restart
[21:25] <FloodBot4> Digistras: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:25] <rusty149> brack101: If /mnt/hd exists. And /dev/sda1 is correct?
[21:25] <brack101> rusty149, Yep, ok it's mounted

[21:26] <esperteyu> spanish ubuntu?
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> !fsck | Digistras
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> !es | esperteyu
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> ron_: seems its not making any noises. are the USB ports enebled in BIOS. Do other USB devices cause reactions?
[21:27] <brack101> rusty149, is that going to prevent the sd card from booting?
[21:27] <ddt_> I want to mount floppy. but I got message: only root can to that. How to fix it?
[21:27] <rusty149> brack101: It should find it during update (search for other OSs)
[21:28] <rusty149> brack101: And add it to the grub list
[21:28] <reactor16> hi all
[21:28] <reactor16> hi all
[21:28] <cooz202> Digistras:  my ubuntu 10.10 package came with Disk Utility 2.30.1 or find in software center
[21:28] <brack101> rusty149, The file /mnt/hd/boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly.
[21:28] <reactor16> you see my text ?
[21:28] <reactor16> qsd
[21:28] <reactor16> qsd
[21:28] <reactor16> qsd
[21:28] <FloodBot4> reactor16: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> reactor16: yes, now please cease flooding
[21:28] <reactor16> what is package for file command ?
[21:28] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: somehow i think that was intentional
[21:29] <rusty149> brack101: Is that an error message?
[21:29] <brack101> rusty149, yah
[21:29] <reactor16> what is package for file command ?
[21:29] <rusty149> brack101: From the command I gave you?
[21:29] <ddt_> rusty149: tell me pls. I have installed ubuntu from live CD. Is it good? I need root access and dont have it. Should I install it again and not from live CD?
[21:30] <ron_> actionparsnip: not recognozong any device. plug in my blackberry and it shows its connected for about five seconds on the bb itself then the usb symbol goes away
[21:30] <brack101> rusty149, yeah
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> !info file | reactor16
[21:30] <rusty149> !sudo | ddt_:
[21:30] <ddt_> rusty149 - ahh - working :D thank you.
[21:31] <sudipta> ddt_:use sudo
[21:31] <rusty149> brack101: Check that /dev/sda1 is correct. Is doesn't sound correct as sda is usually the first/root device
[21:31] <precubcr> what is ESC in a router ?
[21:31] <brack101> rusty149, yeah that's it for sure
[21:31] <precubcr> WSC
[21:32] <brack101> rusty149, I checked the home directory and the correct users show up
[21:32] <ddt_> yes - I did sudo and it is working well - thank you all
[21:32] <KM0201> precubcr: i dunno, but google turns up a lot of hits on it.
[21:33] <rusty149> brack101: To confirm, /dev/sda1 is the ubuntu on the hard drive (not booted) and your sdcard ubuntu is something else
[21:33] <precubcr> thx
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> ron_: sounds like a BIOS / Hardware setting. I'd make sure they are setup ok in BIOS
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> rusty149: sda1 is a partition, sda is the drive
[21:33] <ddt_> bye bye :D
[21:33] <rusty149> brack101: Can you pastebin the whole error message and command?
[21:33] <ron_> ActionParsnip: ok will try.  thanks
[21:34] <rusty149> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I don't think I confused the two
[21:34] <sudipta> component main, is important. Version 5.03-5ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 46
[21:35] <danielvilhas> Hi, can anyone help me?
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> danielvilhas: not without asking a question, no
[21:37] <danielvilhas> I've got some troubles with nvidia drivers on Ubuntu.
[21:37] <Jordan_U> brack101: Follow this guide for re-installing grub2 http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide (installing from another system is just like installing from a liveCD in this context).
[21:37] <brack101> ok
[21:37] <brack101> rusty149, I'm going to try the guide first
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> danielvilhas: can you give full details
[21:37] <rusty149> brack101: sure
[21:37] <brack101> Jordan_U, Grub2 is what 10.04 uses?
[21:37] <Jordan_U> brack101: Yes.
[21:38] <Jordan_U> brack101: And the error you are getting is from grub legacy (so you were most likely installing the wrong version of grub, which is one reason the chroot method is preffered).
[21:38] <brack101> ok
[21:38] <NixGeek> !details | danielvilhas
[21:39] <danielvilhas> Ok, Wait.
[21:39] <ron_> ActionParsnip: all is properly set in bios. device shows connection until ubuntu finishes boot then connection is lost. nothing shows up in places menu ever
[21:41] <danielvilhas> Simply, the driver doesn't install. It says it's impossible to recognize the encoding.
[21:42] <meco> How do I see how much free space I have on the Linux partition?
[21:42] <danielvilhas> And I surely downloaded the right driver.
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> meco: df -h
[21:42] <rusty149> meco: System > Administration > System Monitor      > File Systems
[21:43] <NixGeek> danielvilhas: it could of gotten corrupted, it happened to me with a fedora iso, and it wiped my harddrive.  thank god for recovery tools
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> ron_: do you have the latest bios?
[21:43] <boatingbum23> does anyone know how to get graphics acceleration working with an ati radeon x1600 i cannot seem go get any acceleration to work at all
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> danielvilhas: how are you installing the driver?
[21:43] <ron_> ActionParsnip: i belive so
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> ron_: I'd check
[21:44] <sam-_-> boatingbum23, version of ubuntu?
[21:44] <danielvilhas> ActionParsnip: By simply clicking twice on the file.
[21:44] <Alagos> I have ubuntu 10.10. When I press alt+f2 there is main terminal open. Start program bar starts only when session restarted. How can I fix it?
[21:44] <Rails3> can someone PM if they know of a chan that could help me with criminal background checks? i think the guy stalking my girlfriend has a history, and I want to know the details
[21:44] <boatingbum23> sam-_-: 10.10
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> danielvilhas: what filename?
[21:44] <boatingbum23> sam-_-: also x64 if that makes a difference
[21:44] <sam-_-> boatingbum23, then fglrx won't work anymore
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> Rails3: i'd call the cops
[21:44] <danielvilhas> ActionParsnip: NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.29.run
[21:45] <boatingbum23> sam-_-: then what will work?
[21:45] <sam-_-> boatingbum23, u have to use the opensource drivers
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> danielvilhas: you don't need that, youo should use the hardware manager in the system menu
[21:45] <sam-_-> boatingbum23, they should work out of the box
[21:45] <boatingbum23> sam-_-: how do i install those?
[21:45] <boatingbum23> sam-_-: they do, but i am limited to 60fps
[21:45] <boatingbum23> sam-_-: and minecraft is ultra laggy
[21:46] <sam-_-> boatingbum23, that can be if your monitor refreshrate is 60hz
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> danielvilhas: if your chip is quite recent you can use this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-nvidia-260-19-12-drivers-in-ubuntu-10-1010-04-using-ppa.html
[21:46] <pfarrell> hi, I have a quick question. I'm looking to install gfortran-4.6 on ubuntu maverick, but maverick only has -4.5 packaged. does anyone know where I could find gfortran-4.6 packages for maverick?
[21:46] <boatingbum23> sam-_-: it is my monitor refresh rate, but how would i solve the lagging?
[21:46] <rienn> hello, I have ubuntu 10.10 and I have issues with multiple displays and mouse focus? hma :)
[21:46] <sam-_-> boatingbum23, what does this command say: glxinfo |grep -i direct
[21:46] <NixGeek> !details | rienn
[21:47] <boatingbum23> direct rendering:yes
[21:47] <danielvilhas> ActionParsnip: where can I find the hardware manager?
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> danielvilhas: like I said. SYSTEM menu
[21:47] <rienn> LCD TV hooked to laptop, ATI xpress 200M, cannot click on buttons, window resize/close etc... :(
[21:48] <sam-_-> boatingbum23, hmm. is minecraft a native application or do you run it via wine or sth.?
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> danielvilhas: or you can run the commands in the link I gave
[21:48] <boatingbum23> sam-_-: its a native application that runs in the java-jre
[21:48] <st__> LOL
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> rienn: press ALT+F2 and run:  metacity --replace
[21:49] <st__> pfarrell, try Debian sid
[21:50] <rusty149> pfarrell: arch?
[21:50] <rienn> no luck :/
[21:50] <danielvilhas> ActionParsnip: I prefer to run the commands, thanks, friend xD I'll come back here if it doesn't work
[21:50] <stealthc> is there a way to have an autorun file (or similar mechanism) work on a usb thumb drive under ubuntu?
[21:50] <pfarrell> rusty149: Linux aislinn 2.6.35-24-generic-pae #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 03:21:31 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[21:50] <stealthc> I have a script on a thumb drive I would like to run on insertion...
[21:50] <sam-_-> boatingbum23, could either be that minecraft needs a better graphics card or the drivers for your card aren't mature enough yet.
[21:50] <sam-_-> boatingbum23, did you try it in windows?
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> stealthc: I think Ubuntu obeys Windows autorun.inf files
[21:51] <stealthc> ummm ok but what do I have to put in there that would be different than a windows autorun
[21:51] <stealthc> obviously I can't auto run an exe file...
[21:51] <pfarrell> st__: I was hoping there would be a PPA of some sort or another
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> stealthc: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1202413

[21:54] <stealthc> I see autorun.mips
[21:54] <stealthc> is there a way to target linux and not mips platforms in a similar way?
[21:54] <blue112> Hi here.
[21:54] <glaceman> hi blue112
[21:55] <glaceman> hi all of u
[21:55] <Guest13043> Русские есть на сайте?
[21:55] <Dr_Willis> I cant even rember what 'mips' even is
[21:55] <Lantchips> !ru | Guest13043
[21:56] <pfarrell> rusty149: thanks
[21:56] <glaceman> wow taht ubottu is amazing loll speaking different languages
[21:56] <glaceman> hehehe
[21:56] <blue112> I have a problem with my sound (hda intel), I have to restart alsasound (with sudo /etc/init.d/alsasound restart) and to modprobe snd_hda_intel many time after each reboot for it to work. It's really boring. Is there a way to improve that ?
[21:56] <blue112> (it's pretty calm down here)
[21:56] <Lantchips> Ubottu is prob the smartest ubuntu user in this chat :P
[21:56] <glaceman> lol Lantchips
[21:57] <Lantchips> nvm :(
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIPS_architecture
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> blue112: is your system a branded pc or laptop?
[21:57] <blue112> Any help, better place where I can ask ?
[21:57] <blue112> ActionParsnip, laptop.
[21:57] <stealthc> uhh mips is cpu architecture, like ppc or risc
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> blue112: what make / model?
[21:58] <blue112> ActionParsnip, it's a DELL inspiron 1546
[21:58] <Dr_Willis> auto running programs from removeable = bad security  :)
[21:58] <sam-_-> stealthc, risc is more like a concept not a cpu-architecture
[22:00] <sherry_zhang> It has been three years since last time I used ubuntu... To my astonishment, ubuntu boots so fast now. Can anyone explain why (what has been changed in the system)?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> blue112: try:    sudo -i; echo "options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6" >> /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf; exit      then reboot
[22:01] <blue112> ActionParsnip, sounds nice, I test it.
[22:01] <sam-_-> sherry_zhang, switched to upstart
[22:01] <NixGeek> sherry_zhang: one of the main features the developers wanted in 10.04 was an extremely fast boot.
[22:01] <sam-_-> sherry_zhang, http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[22:01] <sherry_zhang> sam-_-: last time I used ubuntu, it was based on upstart already...
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> blue112: if it's no good, run: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf      and change dell-m6    to dell-inspiron   reboot to test
[22:02] <blue112> ActionParsnip, ok :p
[22:02] <sam-_-> sherry_zhang, well then it improved
[22:02] <sherry_zhang> NixGeek:  then what had been done in 10.04? are there any technical documents?
[22:02] <rienn> the only fix seems to be logout/in as suggested on the forums :|
[22:03] <sam-_-> sherry_zhang, i guess there are a lot of little things that were changed as well
[22:03] <Diverdude> in my terminal some folders are written with blue text and black background while others are written in blue text and green background. What is the difference between these folders?
[22:03] <sherry_zhang> sam-_-: no.. 6.06 and 6.10 took almost the same time to boot on my machine...
[22:03] <Diverdude> when i type ls
[22:03] <glaceman> i just installed ubuntu 10.10 days ago, let's say a newer version arise, do i have to format and reinstall the new version or is there a way to upgrade ?
[22:03] <Diverdude> in my terminal, when i type ls, some folders are written with blue text and black background while others are written in blue text and green background. What is the difference between these folders?
[22:03] <sherry_zhang> sam-_-:  and actually 6.10 is pretty buggy ... crashes all the time
[22:04] <sam-_-> glaceman, you can upgrade via do-release-upgrade
[22:04] <jrib> Diverdude: dircolors -p
[22:04] <Putr> hey guys... is it posible to make a path alias: FROM ssh://domain.tld:/usr/local/www/someproject TO ssh://subdomain.domain.tld/someproject (i just whant to make git repos a little less write intensive to access)
[22:04] <glaceman> thanks sam-_-
[22:04] <rusty149> Diverdude: permissions, use ls -la to see permissions on all files for current directory
[22:04] <glaceman> just good to know
[22:04] <txdv> glaceman: sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[22:04] <Lantchips> #ubuntu-off
[22:05] <sam-_-> txdv, i think he meant like from maverick to natty
[22:05] <Lantchips> whoops
[22:05] <glaceman> thanks txdv
[22:05] <glaceman> i noted this one
[22:05] <NixGeek> sherry_zhang: I can't seem to find any, though I found a report of a developer using a ssd booting in 3.6 seconds
[22:06] <st__> what I need to show X apps via ssh?
[22:06] <txdv> glaceman: you want to test out the new beta or smth?
[22:06] <sherry_zhang> NixGeek: thanks all the same.
[22:06] <crooks3o6> st__: use the -X flag when you connect
[22:06] <glaceman> txdv: i just installed 10.10 and was wondering what to do if a new version comes
[22:06] <blue112_> ActionParsnip, mhh, doesn't seem to be better. The problem is, the sound output is set either to integrated speakers, or to headset, if one is pluged in the jack. That is normal, but the problem is, that isn't changing when I plug in/out a headset : The sound will either stop output (if I plug out), or output in the speaker (if I plug in) : I need to restart alsa and modprobe many time to fix it. Any though ?
[22:07] <NixGeek> sherry_zhang: sorry I couldn't help more, mabey you can find sometihng more
[22:07] <meekwarrior> glaceman just update in term and you will be at the newest one
[22:07] <st__> glaceman, upgrade obviously, 10.10 was a disaster
[22:07] <meekwarrior> st__ is t here something newer than 10.10 out already?
[22:07] <glaceman> txdv: im a microsoft system engineer, but i got sick of windows seriously, so i wannted to make the switch for linux wish i did a couple of days ago, and im trying to learn as it goes
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> blue112_: not sure, if you websearch your make / model with reards to Ubuntu or Linux, then you may find things to add to alsa-base.conf
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> meekwarrior: natty is in Alpha, natty is 11.04
[22:08] <meekwarrior> whattt!!1 i need an invite to #c?
[22:08] <meekwarrior> ActionParsnip can i  update to alpha thru 10.10 or do i need to reinstall
[22:09] <NixGeek> glaceman: go to system >administation >update manager and it should have it there if there is an update.  ubuntu releases on a 6 moth cycle, so it might be a bit till the next one.  maverik merrcat was just released a month or so ago
[22:09] <glaceman> i wanna know something who is that maverick ?
[22:09] <meekwarrior> it was released on 10.10
[22:10] <lcb> is there any problem if enter localhost's static ip (192.168....) as a LDAP server to use, while configuring it?
[22:10] <sam-_-> glaceman, maverick is 10.10
[22:10] <meekwarrior> can anyone point me to a channel that someone can help me with ansi C
