[16:47] <noisewaterphd> DriversBroken, have you considered just doing a remote home folder
[16:48] <DriversBroken> noisewaterphd:  What's a remote home folder
[16:48] <acicula> Stef1: the problem is pretty common, but the solution is rather difficult
[16:48] <noisewaterphd> DriversBroken, have a full install on each machine, but your home folder (all of your stuff) is hosted on a third machine that your other machines mount when you boot up
[16:49] <ZykoticK9> wakoz, if you're looking for more compiz stuff be sure you have the compiz-plugins-extra package installed
[16:49] <Stef1> acicula: and if i forward incomming eth1 connections on 80 port, it basically breaks the connection, because ppp0 forwarding rule forwards packets to eth1 and so on (dunno if that makes any sense, or even if i am right) the debugging that i did with logging the traffic proved usefull
[16:49] <noisewaterphd> DriversBroken, that way you still have all your same stuff you need on each machine, but no hardware issues
[16:49] <Stef1> *useless
[16:49] <pfifo> Stef1, why dont you just allow all traffic destined to port 80?
[16:49] <DriversBroken> noisewaterphd:  I can't install on any of these machines.
[16:49] <noisewaterphd> DriversBroken, hell, just set up each machine so that your home folder is on that external drive
[16:50] <Stef1> pfifo: i do allow it, but problem is forwarding it to the right machine afterwards
[16:50] <noisewaterphd> DriversBroken, oh, well I don't know then, that sucks
[16:50] <DriversBroken> noisewaterphd:  I could partition my drive and have 2 linux installs, one for amd and one for nvidia, and a third partition for data, but that would get annoying
[16:50] <pfifo> Stef1, your explaining this as if the webserver and the firewall ARE the same machine
[16:51] <Stef1> pfifo: as for the now internet traffic gets forwarded to the local machine properly, but the local traffic wont get forwarded to the right machine
[16:52] <acicula> Stef1: if you insist on being able to use the external ip you need to either proxy the service on your router(internally) either using netcat or a full proxy, or use full nat, so masq the connection from localip to your router, and from yourrouter to yourserver
[16:52] <jombo> hello, i have troubles connecting to my wifi router. i'm trying to use iwconfig, wpa_supplicant and dhclient
[16:52] <acicula> if you just mask the external ip using the localserver ip the return connections will just get dropped by the router
[16:52] <pfifo> Stef1, why do you want the local trafic to get routed anyway? make you apache listen on your local network in addition to the internet and connect via local IP address
[16:52] <DriversBroken> noisewaterphd:  Hm... ubuntu seems to have removed my nvidia driver automatically.  I guess I'll just open a terminal every time I start up and install a different driver
[16:53] <acicula> pfifo 's suggestion is probably the best really
[16:54] <acicula> you can also use dns to segment the networks, that way you can use the same server names, just the ip mappings are different
[16:54] <tata> hello all
[16:54] <acicula> jombo: do you have a gui?
[16:54] <tata> acicula
[16:54] <acicula> tata
[16:55] <tata> where do you come from
[16:55] <tata> acicula
[16:55] <Stef1> acicula: full nat? can you be a little more specifics please? pfifo: my apache server listens on the local network, but there are /will be webpages with dynamic links, which repasting them to clients or to work will prove rather difficult when i will have to replace local ip to the external ip every time i want to send something to the outside internet
[16:55] <tata> any girls
[16:55] <bazhang> tata, wrong channel
[16:55] <juancarlospaco> ʘ_ʘ
[16:56] <acicula> Stef1: use dynamic dns then , full nat means applying nat in both directions to keep track of the connections
[16:56] <tata> why??
[16:56] <edbian> ha
[16:56] <pfifo> Stef1, make an entry in your /etc/hosts to override any DNS
[16:56] <bazhang> tata, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[16:56] <qin> Stef1: I think you trying to build transparent firewall but you do not know this yet
[16:56] <tata> im not wrong chanell
[16:56] <bazhang> tata, this is ubuntu support only
[16:56] <tata> i know
[16:56] <edbian> tata: so ask an Ubuntu support question or help others!
[16:56] <bazhang> tata, then stop asking for girls and where people are from
[16:56] <tata> i want to question for ubuntu? can you help me?
[16:56] <Dougie187> so, can anyone help me figure out why my panel applets keep having trouble loading?
[16:57] <tata> i want to build voip??
[16:57] <KolakCC> ..
[16:57] <tata> can you tell me about voip for ubuntu?
[16:57] <qin> !ekiga | tata
[16:58] <io> !voip | tata
[16:58] <bazhang> !voip > tata
[16:58] <bazhang> tata, read those links
[16:58] <acicula> Stef1: full nat in this case means creating a rule that masq any packets from eth1, for external ip on port 80 to the internal host. but also a rule that masq the return adress from the client with the router
[16:59] <DartmanX> okay, image is downloaded and burned... anyone want to make any last second suggestions?
[16:59] <acicula> or the server will receive connections from your client and send packets to it, while your client is all, go away im talking to externalip
[17:00] <tata> how does is working voip?
[17:00] <bazhang> tata, read the links
[17:01] <Stef1> acicula: hmmm, wish i only knew a way how to simply do that, solution that pfifo: suggested seems little simpler to execute, but i dont know if its possible with my dynamic ip
[17:01] <Dougie187> the stupid clock and notification applets keep asking me if I want to delete them when I turn on my computer.
[17:01] <DartmanX> oh, last second question: does ubuntu have any sort of installer that I can point at a tar.gz or .tgz file and it will handle it?
[17:01] <edbian> Dougie187: Do you want to delete them?
[17:01] <acicula> Stef1: the external ip does not matter in this case
[17:02] <Dougie187> edbian: no. I have my panels all set up.
[17:02] <edbian> DartmanX: .tar.gz and .tgz are just compression files (like .zip) There is no guarantee you can install the contents.
[17:02] <Dougie187> it's like the clock applet, and the notification applet.
[17:02] <acicula> Stef1: if your server is called example.org, and has some dynamic ip pointing to it you set up the hosts on your clients to point example.org to <IP_ADDRESS> . that way example.org links will work both externally and internally
[17:02] <DartmanX> okay, making the assumption that it is a linux archive...
[17:02] <edbian> DartmanX: double click the file and it opens in archive manager cause that is all it can assume about the file.
[17:02] <edbian> DartmanX: Not that I know of.
[17:03] <Guest29657> hey guys
[17:03] <acicula> Stef1: what i meant by dynamic dns is that your dns server lies to your clients by telling example.org is at <IP_ADDRESS> instead of externalip
[17:03] <acicula> but that only works if you have a dns server on your localnetwork
[17:03] <sht> could anyone provide some general insight on as to why ubuntu may hang when doing apt-get install postfix? the server already had sendmail installed
[17:03] <sht> it sits at Unpacking postfix (from .../postfix_2.7.1-1ubuntu0.2_amd64.deb) ...
[17:04] <PCdoc> I get "Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.4.2. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application." error, when trying to open pdf files in firefox
[17:04] <acicula> DartmanX: you can use checkinstall to make deb packages from source builds if thats what you are looking for?
[17:05] <DartmanX> acicula: specifically, I need to install IntelliJ IDEA. The only reason I'm doing this is that windows is totally farked on this machine, and I don't have forever to mess around before getting back to work.
[17:05] <edbian> DartmanX: You can double click to install a .deb file
[17:05] <DartmanX> sadly, idea is a tgz download
[17:05] <Stef1> acicula: so i should probably look more into the full nat solution? if i understand correctly adding an postrouting rule for the eth1 would probably do the tric?
[17:05] <DartmanX> and since it has literally been 10 years, to say I'm rusty is a but of an understatement
[17:06] <Stef1> acicula: and yes i am also running an dns server on my linux machine, which has basically default configuration
[17:06] <astraljava> DartmanX: I just untarred the package in my $HOME, and created a launcher in the panel that points to the executable.
[17:06] <acicula> Stef1: yeah you need a rule that says if you are masqing then you need to also masq the source ip to be your routers ip
[17:06] <acicula> DartmanX: checkinstall uses makefiles i think
[17:06] <DartmanX> if I had time to waste, I could just switch to eclipse. :)
[17:06] <acicula> DartmanX: not sure how that tgz you have is packaged
[17:07] <DartmanX> okay, thanks for the help all
[17:07] <astraljava> DartmanX: That won't work obviously for a multi-user setup, in which case I'd do the checkinstall thingie someone pointed to already.
[17:07] <PCdoc> I get "Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.4.2. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment. If the problem persists, please reinstall the application." error, when trying to open pdf files in firefox
[17:08] <BluesKaj> DartmanX, a hint , unp can extract practically any compressed file
[17:08] <Stef1> acicula: so which way do you think i should take, full nat or customizing my local dns serer
[17:08] <dimas_> i just install pulseaudio-0.9.23 in the home directory as root but the system dont access it?....ubuntu 11.04 here...do i have the move the directory somewhere else?
[17:09] <acicula> Stef1: id go the dns route
[17:09] <Stef1> acicula: i am simply looking for a way that an user with basic understanding of linux system can accomplish, as i spend almost 3 days playing with iptables basically with no result
[17:10] <acicula> Stef1: well adding a line to /etc/hosts is pretty trivial
[17:10] <blinkyb> Hi. Browsing on Ubuntu became extremely slow! I mean, browsing became jittery and the pc freezes several times. I never had this issue before!
[17:12] <noteventime> What might be making a filesystem busy but not show up in lsof/fuser? :|
[17:12] <acicula> dimas_: eh /home and /root are not used for system wide program installations, though you can store programs there
[17:12] <Stef1> acicula: yeah, though as much, but i still dont understand a way how will that work, when there is no "external.org" domain pointing to my machine, only plain ip
[17:12] <noteventime> The whole filesystem is empty
[17:12] <acicula> Stef1: ah i assumed you had an external dns name
[17:13] <Stef1> acicula: not for this machine, its only "local" dev environment for my self
[17:13] <dimas_> acicula so where should i move it?
[17:13] <oCean> noteventime: sudo apt-get install iotop then run iotop
[17:13] <acicula> dimas_: not really sure what you are trying to achieve, you should not be moving programs into the system directories yourself
[17:14] <anternat> hello all, i want tı use my ubuntu box as a music player.(my 5.1 system is connected to that pc) what is my best choice?
[17:14] <jwash> i have a problem with workspaces, i only get the top two options (show only the current workspace, and show all workspaces in x rows) not the remainder (which allows you to add aditional workspaces) http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/bto/20080324/03_25_08UbuntuWorkspace1.jpg
[17:14] <jwash> any ideas how to fix this?
[17:15] <dimas_> acicula i am trying to install a newer version of pulseaudio as i cant make it manage to use jack (in the pulseaudio provided by ubuntu)
[17:15] <Lanlost> good news so far
[17:15] <acicula> dimas_: and there are no newer versions packaged for ubuntu or by jack?
[17:15] <Lanlost> I've been copying files off like mad. Since i'ts an xbox. I'm copying off all the save games and such and I've transferred 22000 files so far
[17:15] <pfifo> jwash, I had to use some option in ccsm when I was running unity (your running unity i take it)
[17:15] <Stef1> acicula: so i am guessing i am back the square one with the full nat?
[17:16] <noteventime> oCean: That's a neat tool, thanks. How does it help me though? It doesn't seem to show any information about what filesystem is being accessed
[17:16] <jwash> pfifo: yes
[17:16] <Lanlost> it's too bad The original xbox doesn't use linux for it's main OS so I could just, you know, have my save games and such be a remote hard drive on my pc ;--)
[17:16] <acicula> Stef1: if you insist on having it yeah
[17:17] <BluesKaj> anternat, if you want full digital 5.1 stream to your DAC , then VLC  is probly your best bet
[17:17] <BluesKaj> anternat, without pulseaudio
[17:18] <Stef1> acicula: well, what are the other options, hosts file is out of the question while i dont have the external domain, that will probably the same case in the dns area
[17:18] <anternat> BluesKaj , all songs would be played on server pc right? i dont want something streaming as 5.1 system is connected on server
[17:18] <noteventime> Also, since neither fuser nor lsof want to give me anything, and the filesystem is empty I don't think the problem is with a file being accessed.
[17:18] <Stef1> acicula: so a proper full nat seems to be the only possible way how to achieve this
[17:18] <dimas_> acicula when i do apt-get install pulseaudio it give me pulseaudio-0.9.22 and there is pulseaudio-0.9.23 in the source project webpage
[17:18] <oCean> noteventime: it doesn't. But once you know the process that's doing the most i/o, in most cases I'm able to track down what that process is doing
[17:19] <BluesKaj> anternat, I'm referring to the audio digital data stream as opposed to a network stream
[17:19] <acicula> Stef1: you can use a tcp proxy on the router and redirect the connection to that, but i dont have any easy commands you can copy/paste
[17:19] <roboticc> I'm trying to do a distro upgrade, but it failed and now gives the message "upgrade from Lucid to Heron is not supported"
[17:19] <roboticc> any idea how I can restore to make the distro upgrade?
[17:20] <RevSpecies116> Lucid to Heron? Hilarious
[17:20] <dimas_> !upgrade roboticc
[17:20] <phux> where can i change the delay for "disable touchpad while typing" ?
[17:20] <IdleOne> !upgrade | roboticc
[17:21] <roboticc> @ubottu those instructions no longer work - "upgrade from lucid to heron not supported"
[17:21] <Stef1> acicula: as i have basically no knowledge of a local proxy server, i think i go with the full nat solution as i at least have some understanding of iptables
[17:21] <anternat> BluesKaj, sorry i am a noob, all i want is play the songs on my box preferabbly with a web interface
[17:22] <jwash> i installed ccsm, how do i know if it saved?
[17:22] <b0nghitter> what is the ideal ftp server for a production server?
[17:22] <dimas_> roboticc burn a cd
[17:22] <Stef1> acicula: sadly there is no one that could write those few iptable lines for me, but trial and error is my second name
[17:22] <jwash> or should i just restart and find out?
[17:22] <b0nghitter> something simple and secure
[17:22] <roboticc> dimas_ idleone   Isn't there any way short of doing a media install?  Is the distribution totally b0rked if a network upgrade fails?
[17:22] <zen> how to stop blank screen, who appear after 10 minutes, when watching movies?
[17:22] <BluesKaj> anternat, are you feed ing a digital connection to audio receiver or are you talking about  speakers connected to your pc ?
[17:23] <IdleOne> zen: disable screensaver and power management
[17:23] <ysis> Hi, have an issue regardign gnupg: I have gnupg and gnupg2 installed, but as far as I understood gnupg2 includes all functionality of gnupg. So want to remove gnupg, but this gives me dependency errors (enigmail, kubuntu-desktop, ubuntu-extras-keyring, ubuntu-minimal, xubuntu-desktop).
[17:23] <zen> not working :(
[17:23] <zen> dpms disabled also
[17:24] <scaricatore> !list
[17:24] <acicula> dimas_: you can install the sourcepackage in your homedirectory and experiment with it from there without installing it as root or system wide. you will need to disable the existing pulseaudio to do that though
[17:24] <anternat> BluesKaj speakers connected to the server pc. I want all songs played on the server as server and my doze laptop are in the same room
[17:24] <acicula> ysis: means that those programs depend on gnupg
[17:25] <dimas_> acicula disable the exiting one from the repositories?
[17:25] <roboticc> dimas_ burning a CD not an option for me, sadly. faster to buy a new machine
[17:25] <acicula> (so you want it)
[17:25] <acicula> dimas_: yeah
[17:25] <ysis> acicula: But shouldn't these dependencies also be fulfilled by gnupg2?
[17:25] <s7r> how can I setup PPTP vpn server on a ubuntu box with 1 single external public IP ?
[17:25] <acicula> ysis: appearnatly not
[17:25] <acicula> s7r: you mean an openvpn server?
[17:26] <s7r> acicula: not openvpn, pptp
[17:26] <acicula> ysis: though most of those packages are just meta-packages, ie describe a group of
[17:26] <acicula> s7r: i think openvpn supports pptp connections
[17:26] <roboticc> anyone know where there are instructions on how to debug a failed distro-upgrade?
[17:26] <rcmaehl> Will someone teamviewer into my pc and fix libreofficew
[17:26] <rcmaehl> libreoffice*
[17:26] <dimas_> roboticc sorry i dont know
[17:26] <kidal> hai
[17:26] <acicula> s7r: best start on the openvpn websites, they have a bunch of howtos on various configurations to get you started
[17:26] <kidal> im kidal
[17:26] <kidal> im new here :)
[17:27] <roboticc> hai kidal
[17:27] <Stef1> acicula: just one more question, on which interface i should "focus" on, on the virtual ppp0 or the eth0, eth1
[17:27] <s7r> acicula: you mean openvpn supports PPTP ?
[17:27] <acicula> s7r: i believe so
[17:27] <s7r> i don't have to download any software such as PPTP server or something ?
[17:27] <BluesKaj> !putty | anternat
[17:27] <kidal> hai roboticc
[17:27] <kidal> how r u?
[17:27] <roboticc> good how r u
[17:27] <kidal> im fine. ^^;
[17:28] <roboticc> do you use ubuntu
[17:28] <kidal> yup but im using mini-ubuntu
[17:28] <DodgyDave> Ubuntu virgin here who needs some help.  How do I connect my digital camcorder to my laptop so that I can grab my videos ?
[17:28] <b0nghitter> i have ubuntu installed to a USB drive, when i move it from one pc to another pc, it detects the network interface as a new ethX.. how can i delete the previously detected ethX interfaces?
[17:28] <acicula> s7r: sec ill have a look on wehter its supported or not
[17:28] <rcmaehl> DodgyDave: using usb
[17:29] <DodgyDave> rcmaehl yes
[17:29] <onetwothreefour> hi i need some help in configuring a vpn connection..i have successfully connected and a tap0 interface is created with an ip 10.x.x.x . route table seems to look correct but im not able to open anything..either dns or any connection..
[17:29] <ysis> acicula: I mean, it can be that package A depends on (package B OR package C), right? Then the question would be how this is resolved exactly...
[17:30] <acicula> s7r: ehm appearantly you need pptpd and not openvpn. pptpd is in the repositories though
[17:30] <atomx> hi
[17:30] <acicula> ysis: depends, sometimes dependencies are optional, sometimes they are mandatory
[17:30] <atomx> do you use the fingerprint in Ububtu ?
[17:31] <anternat> BluesKaj yes i m on the console with putty
[17:31] <pfifo> ysis, by having 2 versions of package A, one that uses package B, and one that uses packages C
[17:31] <atomx> I try to see if it is possible to connect via fingerprint in login manager....
[17:31] <rcmaehl> 356 651 529 password Mgkd8}rhU!
[17:31] <acicula> rcmaehl: go forth and make a new password ;)
[17:31] <onetwothreefour> rcmaehl and be quick
[17:32] <juancarlospaco> ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶
[17:32] <ysis> pfifo: Okay, if this is the way, than it'strange that I read about the modularized gnupg2 as being better suited for desktop environments but then find e.g. xubuntu-desktop depend on the old gnupg package...
[17:32] <acicula> onetwothreefour: post your routing tables on pastebin
[17:32] <rcmaehl> don't think this got send but ID: 356 651 529 Password: Mgkd8}rhU!
[17:33] <acicula> rcmaehl: what are you doing?
[17:33] <BluesKaj> anternat, putty for the windows pc , so you can ssh into your ubuntu server from windows and control the music..isn't that what you want to do ?
[17:33] <onetwothreefour> aticula just one moment
[17:33] <rcmaehl> acicula: wait for someone to teamviewer and fix libreoffice
[17:34] <oneliner> looks like rcmaehl is trying some permutation of the lynsis bug that causes disconnect on old home routers
[17:34] <pfifo> ysis, time will fix it
[17:34] <anternat> yes BluesKaj
[17:34] <rcmaehl> oneliner: ....
[17:34] <anternat> that is what i want actually
[17:34] <rcmaehl> oneliner: wtf
[17:35] <DodgyDave> Ubuntu virgin here (so please don't speak Ubuntu speak as I won't understand). I need some help please. How do I connect my digital tape camcorder to my laptop using ubuntu 11 ? I plug in the usb and get nothing, not even recognised as a data media
[17:35] <pfifo> ysis, sompeople have half a dozen versions of python installed so gnupg is nothing in comparison
[17:35] <rcmaehl> oneliner: how is that even related
[17:35] <BluesKaj> !ssh | anternat
[17:35] <rcmaehl> oneliner: wtf is with you
[17:35] <anternat> yes i have scp too BluesKaj
[17:35] <s7r> !pptp
[17:35] <s7r> !pptpd
[17:35] <pfifo> oneliner, hes giving credentials for someone to connect to his computer
[17:36] <oneliner> am just saying, has similar syntax
[17:36] <onetwothreefour> !vpn
[17:36] <rcmaehl> oneliner: what syntax
[17:37] <ysis> pfifo: I understand. I'm used to Gentoo dependency resolving capabilities so I'm somewhat disappointed when it comes to the packing system in Debian/Ubuntu. On the other hand I don't know enough about it to say it can't be done better...
[17:37] <BluesKaj> anternat, scp is copying in ssh
[17:37] <DodgyDave> Ubuntu virgin here (so please don't speak Ubuntu speak as I won't understand). I need some help please. How do I connect my digital tape camcorder to my laptop using ubuntu 11 ? I plug in the usb and get nothing, not even recognised as a data media
[17:37] <BluesKaj> DodgyDave, we heard you the first time ...patience pls
[17:38] <pfifo> ysis, apt comes from debian and debin prefers to have old stable packages instead of the latest stuff, its rubbed off on ubuntu.
[17:38] <RevSpecies116> DodgyDave: You may need to put your camcorder in USB mode
[17:38] <DodgyDave> sorry, new to this
[17:38] <acicula> ysis: prepackaged binaries dont have the luxury of the minimalist approach of gentoo, but then again none of the drawbacks neither
[17:38] <anternat> BluesKaj i couldnt even create a folder on server with scp, had to do it wia putty instead
[17:38] <RevSpecies116> With my camcorder, if I don't have it on DVStudio or USB mode, it will not connect to the computer
[17:38] <anternat> theer again i cannot copy my mp3 files feom laptop to server :(
[17:38] <b0nghitter> i am seriously looking at moving from debian server to ubuntu
[17:39] <DodgyDave> revspecies116 I think it defaults to that when you plug the cable in. Connects to a windows pc fine
[17:39] <BluesKaj> anternat, what's installed on the server , ubunu desktop or ubuntu-server
[17:39] <RevSpecies116> With Linux, you may have to 'force' it, dogyd
[17:39] <ysis> pfifo, acicula: It would in this case be nice to resolve the dependencies by compiling single packages in a nice system. FreeBSD has some kind of mixed system, right? Sorry, don't want to start a distribution discussion in #ubuntu
[17:39] <RevSpecies116> With Linux, you may have to 'force' it, DodgyDave
[17:40] <RevSpecies116> Is it a good brand, like Sony or Toshiba?
[17:40] <soul> hola
[17:40] <b0nghitter> i need something to make setting up apache vhosts and user accounts, and i have heard using webmin on a production machine is a bad idea
[17:40] <DodgyDave> yes, Panasonic NV-GS60
[17:40] <acicula> ysis: there is the ports system. but source building is strickyl a gentoo thing
[17:40] <anternat> BluesKaj it s server(10.0 i guess)
[17:40] <acicula> on linux systems that is
[17:40] <b0nghitter> setting up * easy
[17:40] <anternat> no desktop at all
[17:41] <RevSpecies116> <-- Looking at my Panasonic NV-GS15 -- it has a USB mode in the menu
[17:41] <ysis> acicula: Okay, maybe I'll look into ports in more detail. THanks for the clarification. I try to find a workaround for my particular problem
[17:41] <acicula> ysis: ports is for bsd only
[17:41] <acicula> or used on rather
[17:41] <BluesKaj> anternat, can you ssh into the server , ssh -X user@serverIP ... ?
[17:41] <RevSpecies116> And my Panasonic camcorder works with 10.04LTS
[17:42] <ysis> acicula: I understood that. ;-)
[17:42] <pfifo> ysis, you can apt-get source and apt-get build-dep and create your own custom packages, but if your lazy like me, having gnupg and pgupg2 both installed is the easy route
[17:42] <onetwothreefour> acicula now the openvpn daemon does not want to start..and the connection cannot be established
[17:42] <acicula> onetwothreefour: eh?
[17:42] <tonysan> How do I write a bash shell script to run parallel scripts?
[17:42] <miono> Is there a configuration-file where I can set the xset-parameters?
[17:42] <ysis> pfifo: So you can build your own packages and have them in the apt system? Nice.
[17:43] <onetwothreefour> you were the one who asked for routing table??
[17:43] <onetwothreefour> @acicula
[17:43] <anternat> BluesKaj yes i can do anthing as root
[17:43] <anternat> i am the only user,
[17:43] <pfifo> ysis, you can even upload them to launchpad in your own !PPA
[17:43] <anternat> i got some advice on suomething called subsonic
[17:43] <claviusmond> I need help adding streaming radio url's to my multimedia players, like rhythmbox, clementine... If I want to add an streaming URL from a site that only allows to play it via the embedded player, I view the page from source and copy the streaming urle from there. Is there any easier way? And, How often can that streaming url change?
[17:44] <anternat> i ll try to install it after wgetting
[17:44] <RevSpecies116> OKies, DodgyDave, looking at my camcoder - I turn it on, and press the menu button
[17:44] <acicula> onetwothreefour: yeah
[17:44] <pfifo> ysis, there is also "debdiff" patches for debian packages
[17:44] <claviusmond> can anyone paste a channel where streaming via internet on ubuntu or linux is discussed?
[17:44] <RevSpecies116> And in the 'Camera' menu, which is my top selection, I scroll down to 'USB Function'
[17:44] <Abhijit> i have installed sphinx. and i have downloaded sphinxtrain library. so how do i used that library?
[17:44] <DodgyDave> yep, 4 options, none of which seem to contain any ref to usb
[17:44] <onetwothreefour> acicula, i will first repair that ovpn daemon thing then i will come back with my prob :D
[17:45] <ysis> pfifi: Sounds good. I have some free time now and would like to dig a bit deeper into the possibilities of ubuntu. I have a growing list of issues which I might help to resolve. I'll look for some tutorial about apt first to get a better understanding.
[17:45] <RevSpecies116> Then I select the 'USB Function' selection, and set it to 'Web Camera' and not DVStudio
[17:45] <acicula> k
[17:45] <DodgyDave> hhmmmm....obviously much different, I will have to play
[17:45] <Abhijit> anyone expericed with installing sphinxtrain? sphinx?
[17:46] <DodgyDave> when you've done that is the camera seen by the computer ?
[17:46] <pfifo> ysis, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
[17:46] <Geekydude4> How do you compile a C file in Ubuntu 10.04?
[17:46] <raven_> how to get verbose messages of running processes?
[17:46] <acicula> ysis: unles you need a minimilast installation its more effort then its worth to shave dependencies, at best it saves you some disk space
[17:46] <Abhijit> !compile | Geekydude4
[17:46] <RevSpecies116> DodgyDave: It may really be the Camcorder playing hardball at this point - perhaps if you get the manual for the camcoder out and look for USB function?
[17:46] <DodgyDave> funnily enough....doing that now :)
[17:47] <ysis> acicula: I see your point.
[17:47] <bigpresh> Anyone ever used a Philips 6020 multi-function laser printer with Ubuntu?  I'm having a headache finding suitable drivers for it
[17:48] <pfifo> ysis, i use custom packages todo the opposite of what you do, I need several different versions installed at once
[17:48] <bigpresh> Tried using the PPD that comes on the driver disc with CUPS - all seems OK, except the printer doesn't actually *print* anything.
[17:49] <Abhijit> i have installed sphinx. and i have downloaded sphinxtrain library. so how do i used that library?
[17:49] <juancarlospaco> from Bash Abhijit
[17:49] <raven_> how to get verbose messages of running processes?
[17:49] <juancarlospaco> sphinx --help
[17:49] <ysis> pfifo: I guess this is very nice for testing and debugging.
[17:50] <bigpresh> raven_: Verbose messages from a process you're starting?  Or a verbose list of what processes are running?
[17:50] <Abhijit> juancarlospaco, command not found. i have installed sphinxtrain as per given instruction. but now how do i run it?
[17:50] <pfifo> raven_, sometimes if you send a SIGHUP it will spit out some info, but you really need to read the manpage for the program to see if it responds to any signals
[17:50] <raven_> bigpresh, running
[17:50] <jombo> I can't connect my wireless using only ifconfig, iwconfig and wpa_supplicant, can someone help please?
[17:51] <Gaara> Anyone know how to get my webcam working on 11.04 Desktop?
[17:51] <bigpresh> raven_: "ps auxw" will give you a fairly verbose list of processes running, is that  useful to you?
[17:51] <juancarlospaco> Abhijit: run python   then: import sphinx  then help(sphinx)
[17:51] <juancarlospaco> i dunno t lib
[17:51] <Abhijit> :-o
[17:51] <Gaara> I believe it's being detected as I look in terminal and it appears to detect it being plugged in
[17:51] <juancarlospaco> i use epidoc
[17:51] <Abhijit> juancarlospaco, okay
[17:52] <raven_> bigpresh, no sry things i can get from firefox-bin zb
[17:52] <MACppc> someone know how to install ONDA modem driver MW875UP a MAC without Intel chip?
[17:53] <bigpresh> raven_: Sorry?  Not quite clear on what you're looking for
[17:53] <pfifo> raven_, youll have to rerun firefox-bin from a terminal to get anything useful
[17:53] <jombo> nobody to help me setup my wireless?
[17:53] <Strav> He. Asked a question yesterday that didn't got any feedback: I was reading about stack smashing protection patch for gcc as well as the position independent executable patch for the linker and it made me wonder: is there a package repository where I can be sure that everything has been compiled with this hardened toolchain? (this would be a feature of gentoo hardened but I'd prefer to benefit of package goodness. I've  been told that
[17:53] <Strav> this along with some other "fortify" flag are kinda standard in the rpm building process... what about debian based distros?)
[17:53] <jombo> it works with any wireless manager, except i only want to do it command line style
[17:54] <MACppc> someone know how to install ONDA modem driver MW875UP a MAC without Intel chip or this will work on UBUNTO instaled ppc?
[17:54] <bigpresh> raven_: As pfifo says, starting Firefox from the terminal will likely give you some messages from it as it runs.  For lower-level stuff, you could use strace to attach to it and see what syscalls it's making, but that's unlikely to be useful to you as it's quite low-level stuff
[17:54] <Flannel> Strav: You might get more responses in #ubuntu-motu and/or #ubuntu-devel
[17:54] <R3V3> I have a problem, when I'm not logged into my account, the brightness function keys on my laptop change the brightness by 10% each time. When I'm logged in, they change the brightness by 20%. Why?
[17:55] <juancarlospaco> Stav i think its a programming question mainly (?)
[17:55] <bigpresh> MACppc: No need to repeat so soon; if someone with experience & time to help you is about, they'll answer in time :)
[17:55] <raven_> bigpresh, pfifo ok tnx
[17:55] <jombo> i've followed several tutorials, including the ubuntu documentation, but nothing works
[17:55] <bigpresh> MACppc: Bear in mind if it's a WinModem (i.e. a fake modem where a lot of the work is done by the software drivers) rather than a real modem, then Linux support is often shaky at best
[17:56] <jombo> and the worst is, I know my AP is found because xterm tells me the right IP address
[17:56] <Gaara> Need help setting up webcam, seems to be detecting the device in terminal when i plug it in, but does not seem to function
[17:56] <jombo> seriously how come it's fucking complicated to setup a wifi connection using the CLI?
[17:56] <MACppc> ok. but in site is writing that is comp. only with a Intel for MAC
[17:56] <MACppc> for that is my questions about UBUNTO(V10.10)
[17:57] <pfifo> inb4 !language
[17:57] <rcmaehl> compiz + dying + kill compiz = x restarting? <- I don't get how this end result happens.
[17:57] <TSG> MACppc, http://smxi.org/ give this site a read through and download the scrips, then exit X-desktop, login as root and run "smxi" and it will install any missing drivers
[17:58] <dr_Willis> jombo:  3 conmands last i did it.
[17:58] <Gaara> Need help setting up webcam, seems to be detecting the device in terminal when i plug it in, but does not seem to function
[17:58] <dr_Willis> !webcam
[17:58] <jombo> dr_Willis, that's what they told me on "ubuntu
[17:58] <TSG> Gaara, download cheese from repos
[17:58] <jombo> #ubuntu-fr
[17:59] <jombo> until they could not get my wifi up
[17:59] <Gaara> I've got cheese, doesn't pick it up
[17:59] <jombo> after several tries
[17:59] <jombo> dammit the dhclient part does not work !
[17:59] <dr_Willis> drivers are aften the issue. not the commamds
[17:59] <Flannel> TSG, MACppc: That smxi site explicitly says it doesn't support Ubuntu.
[18:00] <jombo> dr_Willis, it worked perfectly while i was under unity, unity-2D and gnome
[18:00] <TSG> run a search for your device and ubuntu in google search, im sure something will show up, i had the same problem with my microsoft lifecam-lx3000
[18:00] <captyler> hello, need help with ubuntu 11 04. I was trying it with virtualbox and virtualbox crashed and in its reboot showed "grub > ". I continued using ubuntu, When i shut down and turn on tomorrow  mi notebook, noticed a messag "no hard disk"
[18:00] <TSG> Flannel, oh really? I got it to work on linux mint 11 which is based on ubuntu 11.04
[18:01] <TSG> Sorry for the false info if it doesnt support ubuntu
[18:02] <juancarlospaco> lulz
[18:02] <deltree_> looking for some advice out my router/gateway, can anyone help me out?
[18:02] <Gaara> I have a Microsoft LifeCam VX-1000
[18:03] <Gaara> Does anyone know if this can be used with 11.04 Desktop?
[18:04] <captyler> i have a message "no hard disk" at turn on mi notebook. Yesterday i was using ubuntu 11 04 happily. It seems my /boot partition has not mounted. Please help
[18:04] <StevenR> captyler: does it show the grub screen?
[18:04] <dr_Willis> vbox is saying this captyler?
[18:04] <TSG> Gaara, i got that to work with lots of patching
[18:05] <TSG> vx-1000 and vx-3000 are the same
[18:05] <TSG> there is lots of threads on it
[18:05] <captyler> StevenR the only message is "no hard disk"
[18:06] <captyler> i am running with the live CD
[18:06] <captyler> can I show you some information of the disk?
[18:06] <juancarlospaco> captyler: i think its a hardware problem, if dont even try to load the grub...
[18:07] <nancynicola> ciauuuu
[18:07] <nancynicola> ciauuu
[18:07] <xelister> hi what program can one use to easly sort PICTURES, with possibility to divide pictures fastly into various classification, e.g. by date and also by country and also by theme (family/work/travel) ?
[18:07] <nancynicola> ragazzi
[18:08] <JoshDreamland> trying to print via samba, all I get is "Unable to connect to CIFS host, will retry in 60 seconds"
[18:08] <captyler> no no I was using my PC. Iam seeing with the hard disk utility the disk safely
[18:09] <captyler> but all partitions says "unknow" ¿may the disk is unmounted?
[18:10] <pfifo> captyler, your disk image is probably corrupted, have you run a fsck on the host?
[18:10] <Gaara> TSG, Mind linking me to one that has a fix? I can't seem to find any that have answers, just discussion about it.
[18:10] <juancarlospaco> captyler: Logical problem, not hardware
[18:10] <captyler> pfifo I have to mount the disk first?
[18:11] <pfifo> captyler, "on the HOST"
[18:11] <xxmmaann> hi can you help me i have a problem i cant set the resolution http://img51.imageshack.us/i/capturecrancj.png/ ?
[18:11] <captyler> juancarlospaco yes, logical
[18:12] <captyler> pfifo what is HOST?
[18:12] <juancarlospaco> xxmmaann: where it says "Auto"  choose something, like 800x600 or 1204x768
[18:12] <bigpresh> Anyone ever used a Philips 6020 multi-function laser printer with Ubuntu?  I'm having a headache finding suitable drivers for it.  I've tried using the PPD from the original (Windows-only) driver CD without success.
[18:12] <pfifo> captyler, the host is your real hardware
[18:13] <xxmmaann> i cant / only 640x400 and 320x240
[18:13] <xxmmaann> any ideas please?
[18:13] <captyler> pfifo I do the tests in the BIOS and work well my disk
[18:13] <tixo5> hey can anyone help with a networking issue? im  think its an issue with older ubuntus but not sure
[18:13] <eddvrs>  /j reddit
[18:13] <tixo5> as it works fine on 11.04 and 10.04 etc
[18:14] <pfifo> xxmmaann, run nvidia-settings as root
[18:14] <xxmmaann> ok
[18:14] <captyler> juancarlospaco Should  I mount mi disk and show the fstab file?
[18:14] <pfifo> captyler, restart your computer and boot into recovery mode, then perform a filesystem check on the partitions
[18:15] <xxmmaann> dont work / the same error
[18:15] <xxmmaann> the same problem
[18:15] <anternat> BluesKaj tahnk you very much for your time
[18:15] <pfifo> xxmmaann, you might want to try adding 'nomodeset' to the kernel line
[18:16] <xxmmaann> how can i do this?
[18:16] <pfifo> at the grub menu, press E and add 'nomodeset' to the end of the line that starts with 'linux'
[18:17] <Gaara> Someone help me install the VX-3000 driver 'gspcav1' to 11.04 Desktop?
[18:17] <RevSpecies116> pfifo: Assume xxmmaann doesn't know how to get to the grub menu when the machine starts
[18:18] <dr_Willis> !nomodeset
[18:18] <pfifo> xxmmaann, if there isnt a grub menu, just hold down shift while booting
[18:19] <xxmmaann> i can get the grub menu but i cant understand what should i do to resolve the resoultion problem
[18:19] <jonny> I need help with Memory, can anyone help me?
[18:20] <xxmmaann> ok i will restart my pc now
[18:21] <jonny> "free" in the console shows 3.5 gigs of ram but I have recently installed 7 gigs, why is this?
[18:21] <sudokill> 32 bit?
[18:21] <jonny> no i specifically installed the 64 bit
[18:21] <sudokill> if not, then enable memory remap in bios
[18:21] <jonny> Oh
[18:21] <jonny> OK I will try that, thanks
[18:22] <sudokill> ok :)
[18:22] <jonny> i might need help along way though
[18:22] <sudokill> thats all i can think of, its probably that tbh
[18:22] <pfifo> 7 billion flipflops? now thats a collection of shoes!
[18:23] <ojay> is here GIMP gurus :D lol i only need to know one very basic thing
[18:23] <sudokill> imagine the stench of 7 billion USED flipflops
[18:23] <Myrtti> can we keep to the topic please
[18:23] <jonny> lol
[18:23] <Myrtti> ojay: what specifically?
[18:24] <ojay> how i can automatically select object form the layer...like photoshop you just press shift and click layer to select the one object what is there
[18:24] <ojay> how i will do it with gimp
[18:24] <jonny> sudokill: i can't find any such option
[18:25] <sudokill> jonny it maybe a different name, im not sure
[18:25] <sudokill> different motherboad makes name things differently
[18:25] <TSG> I dont like GIMP
[18:25] <jonny> I see
[18:25] <pfifo> ojay, GIMP dosent have objects
[18:25] <BernardV> jonny: 3.5GB free isn't that bad.. That means 3.5GB is used :P
[18:25] <sudokill> jonny, thats all i can think of, if you're 100% sure its 64 bit youre using
[18:26] <ojay> pfifo anyway if you have two layers and layer 2 you have small picture how you can just select that area AUTOMATICALLY :D
[18:26] <eiriksvin> hello all, got a question, how do I make my wine programs available to all the users on my Ubuntu?
[18:26] <pfifo> sudokill, jonny run lsb_release -a
[18:26] <loongson> pmon
[18:26] <sudokill> 64 bit should recognise all your ram with no manual stuff required though
[18:26] <ojay> pfifo: you dont use lasso or other it will see that area automatically from the layer
[18:27] <pfifo> ojay, switch to that layer, use select by color to select the alpha, then C-i to invers selection? if the place that isnt the picure is all alpha of course
[18:27] <ojay> very hard to do it like that...maybe there is easier way
[18:27] <fantomas> Hi all. I can't install OpenOffice on 10.04 - it returns error: http://pastebin.com/riZTagUk Any ideas?
[18:28] <jonny> pfifo: i ran lsb_release and it sys ubuntu 11.04, codename natty... thats all
[18:28] <jonny> with -a
[18:29] <magusOTB> Every other time I boot my computer, mthe video is totally broken, like, screen is completely white with a few randomly placed black bars.
[18:30] <magusOTB> It seems to me what's happeneing is when it shuts down normally, it tries to boot normally, and fails, but when I hard-reset it when it breaks, it tries something else, which works.
[18:30] <froq> so everytime I load up CONKY, it hides all my desktop icons, yet I have it confined to a background window... anyonw know why?
[18:30] <pfifo> ojay, GIMP isnt photoshop, things are different. Tyr making a 3rd layer, all alpha, then use pencil with hardedge to make black pixels of what you want to select, then select the black area with the select by color tool. Hide  the 3rd layer and swithc back to the 2nd layer and perform your operation
[18:31] <magusOTB> pfifo: I think gimp has a freeform selection tool...
[18:31] <jonny> does it make sense these two results: free = 3605792 total mem.....    and uname -m = x86_64
[18:31] <xxmmaann> pfifo dont work
[18:31] <froq> so everytime I load up CONKY, it hides all my desktop icons, yet I have it confined to a background window... anyonw know why?
[18:31] <magusOTB> froq: CONKY?
[18:31] <strangr> CONKY?
[18:31] <pfifo> xxmmaann, that was my "idea", have nothing else that comes to mind
[18:32] <sudokill> jonny, if its 3.6GB free ram then maybe you're just using 3 odd gigs of ram anyway
[18:32] <sudokill> jonny, 7 gugs is an odd number
[18:32] <sudokill> gigs*
[18:32] <jonny> sudokill: it says thats total, 500k being used, 3m is free
[18:32] <froq> magentar_, yea yy
[18:32] <pfifo> magusOTB, that tool is unforgiving about mistakes
[18:32] <sudokill> jonny, is it an old mobo?
[18:32] <froq> magusOTB, yes yy?
[18:33] <minimec> fantomas: If you compare the openoffice package you want to install with the following link, you will see that version 1:321-7ubuntu1.1 is the version from 'ubuntu maverick' --> 10.10. Check you rsources http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=openoffice&suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names
[18:33] <sudokill> maybe your mobo can only support so much ram
[18:33] <jonny> mobo??
[18:33] <sudokill> motherboard
[18:33] <jonny> well in bios it recognized all 7 gigs
[18:33] <jonny> its DDR2 ram
[18:33] <sudokill> oh ok
[18:34] <sudokill> it it odds and ends of ram thrown together? different makes etc?
[18:34] <Gaara> how do i naviage to /home/ubuntu/Desktop/webcam/gspcav1-20071224
[18:34] <Gaara> in terminal
[18:34] <jonny> kinda, i didn't really look into it that much
[18:34] <xangua> Gaara: cd
[18:34] <xxmmaann> can anyone help me to fix the resolution problem please?  http://img192.imageshack.us/i/capturecranf.png/
[18:34] <strangr> Garra, cd
[18:34] <magusOTB> Gaara: cd
[18:34] <xangua> !terminal | Gaara
[18:34] <Fonotec> gaara: cd dir
[18:35] <sudokill> jonny, there should be some memory remap type feature, look into the bios properly. if not then it could be the random types of ram im not too sure
[18:35] <sudokill> apart from that i dont know what else to suggest :(
[18:35] <Gaara> cd: home/ubuntu/Desktop/webcam/gspcav1-20071224: No such file or directory :/
[18:35] <xxmmaann> any ideas please?
[18:35] <sudokill> its not always good to mix random rams together
[18:35] <jonny> iv looked in the bios i couldn't find anything memory related, and all the ram is the same kind...   sorry thanks for helping
[18:35] <sudokill> ok
[18:35] <jonny> if anyone else could help thatd be cool
[18:35] <magusOTB> jonny: what are you trying to do?
[18:35] <strangr> if gspcav1-20071224 is a file
[18:36] <jonny> i installed ubuntu 64 bit and i want to use all 7 gigs of ram
[18:36] <jonny> but "free" only shows 3.6 gigs
[18:36] <strangr> gaara: cd /home/ubuntu/Desktop/webcam
[18:36] <magusOTB> does cat /proc/meminfo show all of it?
[18:36] <fantomas> minimec: ops, I'm on 10.10 )
[18:37] <jonny> first line of that command was "MemTotal: 3.6..blah so no
[18:37] <xxmmaann> can someone help me?
[18:37] <Gaara> Ok working
[18:38] <Gaara> And i run a script through it and it says
[18:38] <Gaara>  FATAL !! you must be root to run this script
[18:38] <RevSpecies116> xxmmaann: What did grub do when you did nomodeset?
[18:38] <Gaara> What is root? how do i be in root.
[18:38] <xxmmaann> a error
[18:38] <RevSpecies116> sudo, Gaara :)
[18:38] <minimec> fantomas: Ok then check the sources, if you have (or not) an active maverick-updates source. I would first try to go without the update source. Don't forget to reload the 'package information' data.
[18:38] <magusOTB> jonny: Are you sure it's installed properly? I'm not entirely sure that a modern dual channel system would like a number like 7.
[18:38] <xxmmaann> i edited the first option i writed /nomodested at the end
[18:39] <jonny> well it at least as 3 sticks of 2 gigs each
[18:39] <minimec> fantomas: Also universe repo has to be active...
[18:39] <jonny> *has
[18:39] <RevSpecies116> -nomodeset not /nomodeset
[18:39] <magusOTB> jonny: and where does the extra one come from?
[18:39] <jonny> its another stick, 1 gig
[18:39] <jonny> 4 slots
[18:39] <RevSpecies116> -nomodeset not /nomodeset, xxmmaann
[18:40] <magusOTB> What is your motherboard?
[18:40] <jonny> eh, im not sure
[18:41] <xxmmaann> ok i will try now
[18:41] <jonny> magusOTB: in bios i saw it recognized 7 gigs
[18:41] <fantomas> minimec: thanks for advice, I think I found how I got the problem - I had libreoffice installed, but purged today to roll back to openoffice. Found a topic on ubuntuforums.org with similar problem. The solution is to install from .deb from oo.org website. Now donwloading it
[18:41] <magusOTB> jonny: How did you install ram without consulting the manual to figure out what slots should be populated?
[18:42] <jonny> heh, i knew my board took DDR2 ram, so I bought DDR2 ram and put them in..........
[18:42] <minimec> fantomas: Ok.
[18:42] <jiltdil> any channel fo mathematics
[18:43] <magusOTB> jonny: Some boards are picky about their ram configuration. It's worth looking into if nothing else works.
[18:43] <bigpresh> jiltdil: Try /msg alis list *math*
[18:43] <magusOTB> other than that I'm not sure
[18:43] <pfifo> jiltdil, either #math or #mathematics
[18:43] <Abhijit> #math
[18:43] <jonny> alright, thanks
[18:43] <bigpresh> jiltdil: ("alis" being a Freenode channel listing/searching service)
[18:43] <jiltdil> thanks all
[18:44] <BernardV> jonny: What does "lshw -c memory
[18:44] <BernardV> jonny: say :P
[18:45] <jonny> without sudo it said 3.6 with sudo says size: 7GiB
[18:45] <xxmmaann> dont work i have a error
[18:45] <ojay> so funny that nobody doesnt know how to select fast picture from the layer with GIMP :D  not using ctrl + a or some manual lasso thingy
[18:46] <magusOTB> ojay: What are you trying to do?
[18:46] <jonny> those talking about GIMP, isn't there a #gimp channel?
[18:46] <magusOTB> Also true.
[18:46] <ojay> magusOTB:  i want to just select only picture what i have in layer
[18:47] <magusOTB> ojay: /join #gimp
[18:47] <jonny> BernardV: sorry if u didnt' see, but with sudo it shows all 7 gigs
[18:47] <ojay> magusOTB:  yes im there already
[18:47] <rcmaehl> okay terminals do not auto complete
[18:47] <rcmaehl> I've had this problem before
[18:47] <rcmaehl> It's b/c my home directory is missing files
[18:47] <rcmaehl> eg .profile
[18:47] <rcmaehl> where do I copy them from
[18:47] <xxmmaann> error "Could not apply the stored configuration for the monitor, could not find a suitable configuration of screens" any ideas?
[18:48] <magusOTB> xxmmaann: What are you trying to do?
[18:48] <Seveas> rcmaehl, /etc/skel
[18:48] <BernardV> jonny: And a "cat /proc/meminfo" also shows all 7 gigs?
[18:48] <rcmaehl> Seveas: thx
[18:48] <xxmmaann> i cant set the resolution to 1360x768
[18:49] <rcmaehl> Seveas: why doesn' the ubuntu installer create those files?
[18:49] <Seveas> rcmaehl, it does.
[18:49] <jonny> BernardV: no, that command's first line shows "MemTotal:   3605792"
[18:50] <rcmaehl> Seveas: I guess it doesn't if you already have fiels for your /home but not those
[18:51] <pfifo> ojay, what your describing can not be done in GIMP, you can always make a customization to gimp if you dont like the way it works, or install photoshop in wine.
[18:52] <xxmmaann> any ideas i i write -nomodeset at end http://img830.imageshack.us/i/fotografie0815.jpg/ i get the error http://img37.imageshack.us/i/fotografie0816.jpg/
[18:52] <xxmmaann> any ideas?
[18:52] <pfifo> ojay, and the channel for gimp is not #gimp, its on the network irc.gimp.net in the channel #gimp try there instead of freenode if you want to ask questions
[18:53] <BernardV> jonny: What does "uname -a" say?
[18:53] <RevSpecies116> bummer, xxmmaann  - the nomodeset solution didn't work...
[18:54] <RevSpecies116> xxmmaann: Actually there needs to be a space before the -nomodeset
[18:54] <jonny> BernardV: x86_64... do u want the whole line?\
[18:54] <rcmaehl> Seveas: thx
[18:54] <RevSpecies116> -generic-pae -nomodeset
[18:54] <BernardV> jonny: Nope that's what I wanted to know ;)
[18:54] <ferdrake> quiero soporte talves me pueden ayudar soy nuevo en ubuntu
[18:54] <jonny> BernardV: ok, thanks!
[18:55] <amarcolino> Hi, I want to setup user accounts and authentication via the network so it doesn't matter machines are used, users will be able to login and and gain access to their own area found on another machine. However, I would like to know how would I go about achieving this, I am currently researching ldap and maybe nfs, can someone suggest a more applicable approach? Am I on the right track?
[18:55] <ferdrake> i need help in spanish please
[18:55] <jonny> BernardV: I was running windows vista on here, and I got ubuntu 64 bit just so i could see all memory
[18:55] <jonny> BernardV: oh  yeah vista was 32-bit
[18:55] <ysis> !spanish
[18:55] <xxmmaann1> im back
[18:55] <BernardV> jonny: you could try taking out the 1GB bank, maybe the board is trying to use the banks together (that is what DDR does in the basics) and run it with 3x2GB if it will take that.
[18:55] <pfifo> amarcolino, Netboot with NFS seems to be what your looking for
[18:55] <ysis> !spanish | ferdrake
[18:55] <xxmmaann1> any ideas?
[18:56] <jonny> BernardV: ok ill try that, id prefer to use all 7 though, is there a way?
[18:57] <BernardV> jonny: Don't really know, Never tried different types of memory in linked banks..
[18:57] <RevSpecies116> xxmmaann: Actually there needs to be a space before the -nomodeset
[18:57] <BernardV> jonny: banks as in slots
[18:57] <jonny> BernardV: ok thanks, i will remove the 1 gig stick
[18:57] <ferdrake> #ubuntu
[18:57] <xxmmaann1> adding -nomodeset at grub http://img830.imageshack.us/i/fotografie0815.jpg/  get me a errog http://img37.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img37/882/fotografie0816.jpg any ideas to fix the resolution?
[18:57] <xxmmaann1> please
[18:58] <ferdrake> how to install canon ip1800 on ubuntu 11.04
[18:58] <pfifo> xxmmaann1, its actually just "nomodeset" there is no hyphen
[18:58] <ubrocks> Hi, I cannot switch between workspaces. Can somebody help?
[18:59] <xxmmaann1> pfifo: i need to write just nomodeset withowt -
[18:59] <Kuwanger> Is there a way to update a file in a tar without updating the time/permissions of the file in the tar?
[18:59] <xxmmaann1> ?
[18:59] <RevSpecies116> YOU must have a space, though, xxmmaann1
[18:59] <pfifo> BernardV, Dual Channel Memory combines the banks, DDR is Dual Data Rate, 2 different concepts
[19:00] <xxmmaann1> so is xxxxxxx nomodeset ?
[19:00] <ferdrake> any one speak spanish here?
[19:00] <jefelex> ubrocks - how many workspaces do you have defined?
[19:00] <xxmmaann1> ?
[19:00] <ubrocks> jefelex, I find all of this quite difficult. I believe I have 4 workspaces
[19:00] <xxmmaann1> :-(
[19:01] <pfifo> xxmmaann1, its actually just "nomodeset" there is no hyphen
[19:01] <jefelex> ubrocks - I guess the 4 workspaces are in your panel?
[19:01] <xxmmaann1> ok i will try
[19:01] <jonny> BernardV: it still shows 3.6 gigs
[19:02] <ubrocks> jefelex, I see four little squares in the panel, next to the trash icon
[19:02] <xxmmaann1> i need restart the pc again
[19:02] <ubrocks> jefelex, in three of them there are windows
[19:02] <jefelex> that is good - is one of them higlighted?
[19:02] <amarcolino> pfifo, just did a quick search on netboot seems achievable however does it apply when the clients have ubuntu already install? If not, would ldap and nfs work?
[19:02] <ubrocks> jefelex, three of them have an orange icon. I previously chose: Move to workspace1, 2, 3
[19:02] <carl__> lu
[19:03] <ubrocks> jefelex, the problem is that I cannot switch between those workspaces :-(
[19:03] <jefelex> and now that doesn't work?  or do you have the same 3 windows open in each workspace?
[19:04] <ubrocks> jefelex, I have three different windows open in three different workspaces, but I cannot switch between them. I remember that with previous versions I could simply click on one of them and that would show the workspace
[19:04] <pfifo> amarcolino, firs off, i have no clue about LDAP, never used it. But as for NFS, yes there is a kernel line option to mount a NFS share as the root, you could skip netbooting if you actually put grub and a kernel on the machines, but Netboot with PXELinux is pretty simple to setup and easire to maintain
[19:04] <mimico> hi, there is a bug that I am affected by, that has been filed here:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/skype/+bug/592334 The bug has been fixed.  Does anyone know how I would go about getting the fix and applying it to my system?
[19:04] <jonny> would anyone here know why ubuntu 64 bit can't recognize all my memory?
[19:04] <jefelex> yes - it is still like that on my desktop - are you using 11.04 or some other distro?
[19:04] <ubrocks> jonny, could it be that the MB does not support all that memory?
[19:05] <ubrocks> jefelex, 11.04
[19:05] <jonny> ubrocks: iv seen in the bios 7 gigs though...
[19:05] <xxmmaann> im back/ i added nomodeset at the ond of line/ the linux starts/ but the resolution is the same
[19:05] <jefelex> good - are you using unity or gnome?
[19:05] <koustava> can anyone tell me how to install wvdial file as it is not in my system
[19:05] <jonny> ubrocks: is it possible that i can see all of it but the mb still doesn't support it?
[19:05] <ubrocks> jefelex, I'm using gnome
[19:05] <koustava> can anyone tell me how to install wvdial file as it is not in my system
[19:05] <amarcolino> pfifo, thanks for the reply will look into it
[19:06] <ubrocks> jonny, I'm running ubuntu 11.04 64-bit with 12GB RAM and it sees all of it
[19:06] <jefelex> good - I can help you, I don't use unity
[19:06] <ubrocks> :-)
[19:06] <Abhijit> koustava, sudo apt-get install wvdial
[19:06] <pfifo> amarcolino, ah, not need for LDAP with NFS, normal PAM will use /etc/passwd from the NFS
[19:06] <jonny> ubrocks: ok, i got ubuntu 64 bit just so i could see all my memory and i cannot
[19:06] <xxmmaann> and i cant set a custom resolution
[19:06] <xxmmaann> any ideas please?
[19:07] <xxmmaann> O:-)
[19:07] <koustava> Abhijit, it is not working
[19:07] <pfifo> xxmmaann, you may have to go the hard route and writte your own xorg.conf
[19:07] <rabije> hi! I installed libdvdread4 and executed the install-css.sh on ubuntu 10.04 but I still can not play DVDs , could anyone please help me ??
[19:07] <MACppc> Msg to TSG: I steaked in this site, because i have no vget, gcc etc function on my pc: have the latest update OS X 10.5.8 and canot easy install. any idea if this modem will work, because before upgrading I see them on the desktop. If not, will this worki at Ubunto V10.10?
[19:07] <ubrocks> jonny, 7GB isn't that a bit of a strage number for memory? Could it be that you should provide modules of the same type and of the same quantity?
[19:08] <KM0201> !dvd
[19:08] <jonny> ubrocks: someone suggested that and i removed a gig, now i have 6 gb
[19:08] <Abhijit> !wvdial
[19:08] <Abhijit> koustava, i think you need to enable universe repo
[19:08] <jonny> ubrocks: it still only recognizes 3.6
[19:08] <minimec> rabije: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/how-to-enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-11-04/
[19:08] <ubrocks> jonny, how many memory modules do you have and of which size?
[19:08] <amarcolino> pfifo, pam can authenticate users on the server to the clients?
[19:08] <koustava> Abhijit, how to enable universe repo?
[19:08] <ubrocks> jefelex, where are you???
[19:08] <jefelex> anyway - ubrocks,  if you click on the window, nothing happens, I'm just asking so I know where you are at and what you've done to see if you can fix it yourself
[19:08] <Abhijit> koustava, in software center.
[19:09] <jonny> ubrocks, 3 x 2gb each (i have 4 slots, the other had the gig that i removed)
[19:09] <pfifo> amarcolino, no, it cant
[19:09] <KM0201> rabije: have you rebooted since executing install-css.sh
[19:09] <xxmmaann> i have a error notificatio at start "Could not apply the stored configuration for the monitor, could not find a suitable configuration of screens" / so i need write the xorg-conf manually ?
[19:09] <pfifo> amarcolino, but since the same /etc/passwd will be on both the server and clients, all the uses will be the same
[19:09] <koustava> Abhijit, how to go to software center?
[19:09] <rabije> KM0201: Yes I did it !
[19:09] <ubrocks> jefelex, yes, nothing happens.
[19:09] <xxmmaann> :-(
[19:10] <duvel> Hello. I'm back again! I'm trying to make Ubuntu my primary OS but think it would be silly if I could not get everything to work properly, so here I am. Anyone here have experience getting most/all of the functionality in the Logitech G19 keyboard to work? Please let me know, thanks in advance.
[19:10] <ferdrake> how to in on the chat room on spanish
[19:10] <KM0201> rabije: weird.. ry installing VLC.
[19:10] <Abhijit> koustava, System->Administration->Software Sources
[19:10] <ysis> !spanish | ferdrake
[19:10] <s7r> for a home computer which acts also like a server... ftp and vpn what should i select ubuntu server or desktop edition? please ?
[19:10] <ferdrake> !spanish
[19:10] <pfifo> s7r, it all comes down to if you want X installed or not
[19:11] <ubrocks> jonny, the fact that it only sees 3.6GB is very suspicious...That number is very close to 2^32, which is the max RAM that a 32-bit system can see. Have you checked on the internet your MB specifications?
[19:11] <IdleOne> ferdrake: Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter.
[19:11] <s7r> pfifo: what is X ?
[19:11] <rabije> KM0201: Im using Tottem , i googled and nothing works for me , is there any other way fixing it ?!
[19:11] <pfifo> s7r, a graphical desktop enviroment
[19:11] <ferdrake> #ubuntu /join
[19:11] <KM0201> rabije: if you installed libdvdread4, and executed install.sh properly, dvd's should work.. try nstalling VLC and see if that helps.
[19:12] <Abhijit> :-/
[19:12] <jonny> i downloaded from ubuntu.com the 64-bit version and uname -a shows x86_64
[19:12] <Abhijit> ferdrake, /j #ubuntu-es
[19:12] <amarcolino> pfifo, ok, that is what I thought you just told me on your last post, I am trying to avoid a situation where I need to add users to the other clients via ssh, I've found a few options including yours, which is more appropriable is what I need to find out specially if in six months or sooner I have to keep adding users
[19:12] <s7r> oh ok pfifo thanks . 64 bit requests min 4GB of RAM and 64 bit CPU ?
[19:12] <jonny> ubrocks: oops, my message is above
[19:12] <jefelex> ubrocks - try ctnl alt left arrow and see if that changes your desktoop
[19:12] <ubrocks> jonny, I don't think ubuntu is your problem...Rather your MB
[19:12] <minimec> rabije: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/how-to-enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-11-04/ <-- Did you try to use that package?
[19:12] <ubrocks> jefelex, ok
[19:13] <ubrocks> jefelex, nothing
[19:13] <amarcolino> pfifo, I wont disturb you any longer will attempt the option I think is more appropriate at this time, thanks
[19:13] <xxmmaann> the etc/x11/xorg-conf file is http://pastebin.com/bJLtNr5E can you help me?
[19:13] <spacebug-> s7r: 64-bit CPU yes, not 4GB RAM
[19:13] <rabije> KM0201: I already installed VLC but the problem is the same , what should i do now ?
[19:13] <Abhijit> jonny, you can crosscheck is ubuntu is your proble or not by having another distro burned to usbd and booting into its live session and then check how much ram it detects
[19:13] <jonny> ubrocks: ill look into that, id be very upset
[19:13] <s7r> but how many RAM ?
[19:13] <KM0201> rabije: no clue... i'm assuming you did not install it/set it up correctly... i would sugest going through the instructions again
[19:13] <koustava> Abhijit, then waht to do?
[19:13] <ubrocks> jefelex, brb...
[19:14] <pfifo> amarcolino, all of the clients will have the exact same files, and since user info is stored in a file, all the clients will have the same user info. Does that make sense? A password change for one user on one machine will modify the file, and it will effect all the other machines as well
[19:14] <jefelex> then all I can suggest is to logout and then back in again - that may help with the congestion of the desktop
[19:14] <Abhijit> koustava, select universe
[19:14] <jonny> Abhijit, ubrocks, I have typed in a few commands that have showed all gigabytes, would that still mean the MB can't use it?
[19:14] <tixo5> guys, is there any configuration needed for eth0 ??
[19:15] <koustava> Abhijit, community maintained open source software(universe) is clicked already
[19:15] <rabije> KM0201: Im trid this 100 times https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs is this site right  ?
[19:15] <pfifo> s7r, well a 64bit CPU is obivously required to run the 64bit version but you can get by with a miniscule amount of memory
[19:15] <KM0201> rabije:
[19:15] <KM0201> yes
[19:15] <minimec> tixo5: Basically no for a local network.
[19:15] <swecarp> i hav trubbel loging in on 11,04 hawent
[19:15] <duvel> Hello. I'm back again! I'm trying to make Ubuntu my primary OS but think it would be silly if I could not get everything to work properly, so here I am. Anyone here have experience getting most/all of the functionality in the Logitech G19 keyboard to work? Please let me know, thanks in advance.
[19:15] <s7r> ok. now a last thing .. 10.04 LTS or 11.10?
[19:15] <swecarp> have just tryed to install it
[19:16] <Abhijit> koustava, try multivers
[19:16] <IdleOne> s7r: 11.10 is not released yet
[19:16] <xxmmaann> can you help me the resolution is too low and i cant do anything http://img708.imageshack.us/i/capturecran1q.png/
[19:16] <KM0201> rabije: i would go through the "trouble shooting" section of that page
[19:16] <minimec> rabije: Again... I would try the libcss package from medibuntu http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/how-to-enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-11-04/
[19:16] <koustava> Abhijit, ok
[19:16] <rabije> KM0201: OMG , I can not play my DVD and I invited friends for this film :S!
[19:16] <Abhijit> S711, 10.04 is LTS
[19:16] <MACppc> Anyone can tell me if the modem-USB for MAC based Intel(for v 10.4 or above) will work with a Ubunto V10.10?
[19:16] <jonny> the command "sudo lshw -c memory" shows all 6 gigabytes
[19:16] <s7r> 11.04 sorry
[19:17] <KM0201> rabije: well, call them and tell tem to delay coming over
[19:17] <xxmmaann> O:-)
[19:17] <pfifo> s7r, it depends, are you going with server or desktop?
[19:17] <Abhijit> S711, 11.04 is not LTS
[19:17] <s7r> desktop pfifo
[19:17] <Abhijit> s7r, , 11.04 is not LTS
[19:17] <bt> xxmmaann, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[19:17] <Belserusk> Do Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds get along?
[19:17] <Abhijit> Belserusk, #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:18] <pfifo> s7r, 10.04 uses gnome by default and 11.04 uses unity. It can be changed but you may want to use that as a guide for choosing something that you dont have to fuss with
[19:18] <Belserusk> Abhijit, sorry
[19:18] <VectorX> hi, is there a way to set su right automatically so you dont have to keep entering the pw everytime you need to run some root command ?
[19:18] <ubrocks> jefelex, I installed compiz. Could it be that it screwed things up?
[19:18] <xxmmaann> bt: is too hard for me
[19:18] <Abhijit> !ot | Belserusk
[19:18] <koustava> Abhijit, when i am doing update in ubuntu 9 it is saying failed
[19:19] <Abhijit> koustava, you were asking about wvdial?
[19:19] <Belserusk> ubottu, ok
[19:19] <minimec> rabije: KM0201: I don't know why you ignore me. I would at least try that medibuntu package, before making your friends unhappy... http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/06/how-to-enable-dvd-playback-in-ubuntu-11-04/
[19:19] <ubrocks> jonny, I believe so. I used to have a MB which supported only 2.9GB even if I put 4GB in it
[19:19] <koustava> yes
[19:19] <MACppc> Eeh Neo, neo for what you costruct this "Matrix"...
[19:19] <Abhijit> koustava, have you added multiverse?
[19:19] <mOHawk> yeah 11.04 looks alot like an apple OS really nice looking system in my opinion
[19:19] <KM0201> minimec: i'm not ignoring you, if you don't say my name, i don't watch every line thats typed here.... Medibuntu shouldn't be necessary in 10.04
[19:19] <koustava> sudo apt-get installed wvdial is faked again
[19:20] <spacebug-> duvel: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/10/configure-logitech-g-series-keyboards.html
[19:20] <Abhijit> koustava, what is the actual error?
[19:20] <minimec> KM0201: THat's why I used it now... ;)
[19:20] <xxmmaann> :-/
[19:20] <bt> xxmmaann, what ist the output of xrandr
[19:20] <duvel> spacebug: Thank you.
[19:20] <koustava> yes i have done multiverse
[19:20] <xxmmaann> what?
[19:20] <spacebug-> duvel: yw
[19:20] <KM0201> minimec: medibuntu hasn't been necessary since like 8.04.. maybe even 7.10...  you can use it if you want, but its not necessary.
[19:20] <koustava> Abhijit, some index file failed to download
[19:20] <xxmmaann> how can i see this?
[19:21] <swecarp> im  new to linux and ubuntu i have run the instalation and nowe its sasks fore user and password havent erlier set a user ore password
[19:21] <koustava> they havee been ignored
[19:21] <xxmmaann> where cn i find this?
[19:21] <koustava> or old ones used instead
[19:21] <minimec> KM0201: I agree, but it always worked. You don't need to add the repo. The libcss.deb is all you need.
[19:21] <bt> xxmmaann, oops. run xrandr command in a terminal. it should show you you're configured resoultions
[19:21] <rednammoc> hey, if i enter in cmd "date<PHONE_NUMBER>38.08" an error is returned saying "date: invalid date `011904142038.08'", "date<PHONE_NUMBER>38.07". any idea?

[19:22] <minimec> KM0201: I agree again, but ... ;)
[19:22] <koustava> same fail is happening
[19:22] <xxmmaann> ok sorry
[19:22] <rabije> minimec: this is libdvdcss2 , I have libdvdread4 installed and it doesnt work , but i dont know the difference between libdvdcss2 and libdvdread4 !
[19:22] <lucs> Is it normal that I don't find 'jaunty' here for example?: http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/
[19:23] <Abhijit> koustava, somehow your update/upgrade system is broken. i do not know how to fix that. ask someone else
[19:23] <[THC]AcidRain> lucs. i have a jaunty image if you would like it
[19:23] <bt> xxmmaann, you have to add the higher resolutions manually. they were not autodetected. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding_undetected_resolutions
[19:23] <minimec> rabije: Just install it. It wirks.
[19:23] <lucs> [THC]AcidRain: Er, maybe, but I
[19:23] <lucs> Oops
[19:24] <[THC]AcidRain> in my opinion 9.04 is the best
[19:24] <lucs> [THC]AcidRain: Er, maybe, but I'm especially wondering why I'm not finding it.
[19:24] <rgarrigue> Hi all
[19:24] <[THC]AcidRain> idk. im running jaunty right now
[19:24] <aleph-2> i was just wondering what this command does "sudo dpkg --configure -a" i typed it in by mistake, but can't see that anything wrong happened
[19:24] <[THC]AcidRain> that is kinda messed up they left jaunty off the list :/
[19:24] <amarcolino> pfifo, I understand that, what I don't understand is which application will keep track of the changes or make the changes to other clients. You mentioned nfs, but from my understanding it only creates the directory/user space but doesn't add any security (unless I am mistaken), at the same time if a user's account gets locked or deleted I would have like the system to update itself. In the long run having a way to manage user authentication and user s
[19:24] <amarcolino> pace on the network , which is quite small at this moment, is what I want to achieve. Maybe I am just complicating everything and not understanding what you're trying to say in which case I sincerely apologise.
[19:24] <DasEi> aleph-2: it checks for an interupted apt
[19:25] <aleph-2> DasEi: ok, thanks
[19:25] <koustava> afetr 35% it is not working
[19:26] <xxmmaann> the command xrandr --output VGA-0 --mode 800x600 errorhttp://pastebin.com/5pZK4FSJ
[19:26] <xxmmaann> i cant add ah higher resolution
[19:26] <tixo5> guy how can i diagnose what i think is an ethernet driver issue? liveCD works on my laptop but not my main PC
[19:26] <tixo5> ive tried tons of stuff!
[19:27] <xxmmaann> :-(
[19:27] <tixo5> i remember having a similar issue with Backtrack 4 rc2
[19:27] <tixo5> i think its the older ubuntu versions
[19:27] <pfifo> amarcolino, they will all have the same filesystem, a change on one will be reflected on the others, you really have to try it i guess
[19:27] <koustava> Abhijit,whom should i ask?
[19:27] <mOHawk> [THC]AcidRain sorry hit wrong button was looking for shortcut to ask if 9.04 or latter have End Of Life can't remember? or does updates make it current?
[19:27] <jefelex> gotta go
[19:28] <xxmmaann> :-( im sad i cant fix the resolution problem
[19:29] <rgarrigue> How can I check on my nvidia card ? My dual screen is staying idle all the time :-/
[19:29] <bt> xxmmaann, don't know this error :( give me sec to search.
[19:29] <xxmmaann> ok sorry
[19:31] <tixo5> guys how can i diagnose what i think is an ethernet driver issue? liveCD works on my laptop but not my main PC
[19:31] <minimec> tixo5: lspci | grep net will probably give you the card you have, if it is PCI or motherboard included... For me it would be 00:05.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK8S Ethernet Controller (rev a2)
[19:31] <szal> xxmmaann: reboot & pass 'edd=on' as additional parameter to the kernel; if that fixes it, come back & you'll get instruction on how to make it permanent
[19:31] <tixo5> minimec: i have done that
[19:31] <tixo5> i know what card it is
[19:32] <tixo5> the card works fine on my Mint install, and many others
[19:32] <tixo5> it seems to be older distros
[19:32] <minimec> tixo5: And you don't find any filed bug or howto on the net?
[19:32] <tixo5> yes i have found some stuff about a bug in tg3
[19:32] <tixo5> i have tried to fix, to no avail
[19:32] <amarcolino> pfifo, thanks for being patient, I will look into what you said and hopefully get my head around it as I believe the only way to get the same exact files is through rsync...
[19:33] <minimec> tixo5: Well your on the right way. I cannot give you any further help.
[19:33] <tixo5> are you familiar with modprobe, loading modules etc?
[19:33] <truepurple> You guys helped me remove a program called avast before, and now I need to remove it again, but the line I saved for removing it isn't working
[19:33] <minimec> tixo5: Well.. sudo modrpobe yourmodule
[19:34] <szal> truepurple: exact input and output please
[19:34] <ikonia> truepurple: you where warned about the antivirus stuff
[19:34] <ikonia> truepurple: how did you install it ?
[19:34] <tixo5> minimec: basically i think the module isnt loaded, ie the driver isnt installed or isnt installed properly, i was going to compile the driver myself and install, when i found out it comes with 2.6> kernels
[19:34] <truepurple> a terminal line
[19:34] <ikonia> truepurple: which one...what was the command you used
[19:34] <tixo5> so i did, 'insmod tg3.ko'
[19:34] <tixo5> i get this messege
[19:34] <xxmmaann> i added add=on at kernel line nut the same problem
[19:35] <tixo5> 'insmod error inserting 'tg3.ko' - 1 file exists'
[19:35] <truepurple> sudo apt-get remove avast4workstation

[19:35] <FloodBot1> truepurple: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:35] <bt> xxmmaann, xrandr shows you names of of your available outputs it's either LDVS, LDVS1, VGA, VGA1 or soomthing like that. you have to use that name instead of the VGA-0
[19:35] <ikonia> truepurple: no - which command did you use to install it
[19:35] <szal> xxmmaann: if you can't even exactly reproduce what you were given, I can
[19:35] <szal> 't help you
[19:35] <truepurple> ikonia: Oh ok, one moment
[19:35] <ikonia> tixo5: do an "lsmod" sounds like it's already loaded
[19:36] <tixo5> yea but its not :S
[19:36] <tixo5> i did 'lsmod | grep tg3'
[19:36] <tixo5> nothing
[19:36] <minimec> tixo5: Try 'sudo modprobe tg3'
[19:36] <Traintop> if someone is familiar with "at"; -how can I let "at" add a file to the VideoLanClinet-playlist?
[19:36] <Madito> Hey guys! I've got a problem. I get a error message when I'm trying to download the "Ubuntu Netbook" via Wubi on my Windows machine. Anyone know anything about this?
[19:36] <ikonia> tixo5: pastebin the output of lsmod please.
[19:36] <truepurple> ikonia: I downloaded it, then used sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb
[19:36] <tixo5> minimec: also i tried that, i tried removing it, loading the broadcom one first, then loading that one
[19:36] <xxmmaann> warning: output VGA-0 not found; ignoring
[19:36] <Traintop> s/Clinet/Client/
[19:37] <ikonia> truepurple: so you installed it from an external deb - non-supported repo on the wrong architechture, not a great idea
[19:37] <tixo5> ikonia: i will boot up lappy and chat to you on there, and ill reboot this machine into the distro
[19:37] <ikonia> truepurple: you'll have to use dpkg to remove it
[19:37] <ikonia> tixo5: no problem
[19:37] <minimec> tixo5: you could check /var/log/messages or similar. Are there some messages?
[19:37] <xxmmaann> :'(:-(:-/
[19:37] <truepurple> ikonia: No it was supported
[19:37] <tixo5> i have, there is nothing for tg3 at all
[19:37] <ikonia> truepurple: no - it's not.
[19:38] <tixo5> i get this is it related
[19:38] <szal> xxmmaann: hint: it's "edd", not "add"
[19:38] <tixo5> Module tg3 does not exist in /proc/modules
[19:38] <truepurple> ikonia: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=41709.0
[19:38] <ikonia> tixo5: this shouldn't be too hard to fix, boot into your OS and we'll work it through
[19:38] <tixo5> my working mint machine on the same card, has entries in here. i was going to copy/paste the tg3 line ?
[19:38] <xxmmaann> ok
[19:38] <tixo5> ok ikonia thanks alot brb
[19:38] <aleph-2> what is the difference between "sudo apt-get upgrade" and "sudo apt-get dist upgrade?
[19:39] <ikonia> truepurple: it is not supported - it is not build and packaged by the ubuntu repos, you'll have to use dpkg to remove it
[19:39] <truepurple> dpkg?
[19:39] <ZykoticK9> aleph-2, dist-upgrade will install new version of packages (or new packages), while upgrade will not
[19:39] <ikonia> truepurple: dpkg is the package manager
[19:39] <anternat> how i see files i got with WGET? Wher are they
[19:40] <truepurple> ikonia: You mean synaptic?
[19:40] <ZykoticK9> anternat, probably in the same directory as you started the wget command in
[19:40] <ikonia> truepurple: that forum post is just someone saying they have installed it. That does not make it supported, you where warned about this when you where trying to install anti-virus software
[19:40] <magusOTB> anternat: in the directory you ran wget in, unless you specified otherwise
[19:40] <ikonia> truepurple: no - I mean dpkg exactly as I've just said
[19:40] <aleph-2> ZykoticK9: ok, which one of them shoud i use to update my system?
[19:40] <truepurple> ikonia: How do I use it?
[19:40] <anternat> thnx guys
[19:40] <ikonia> truepurple: there is documentation all over the web and man pages.
[19:40] <ikonia> truepurple: next time, I suggest you listen/follow peoples advice rather than thinking you know better
[19:40] <anternat> how do i search a specific file from command line?
[19:41] <ikonia> anternat: find / -name $filename -print
[19:41] <AAIBB^> hey I am using sudo gedit /ect/vsftp.conf but it opens a blank (new) file and shows some warnings. What did i do wrong?
[19:41] <ZykoticK9> aleph-2, honestly the "safest" would be to install aptitude and use the command "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade", BUT dist-upgrade is the same as the GUI update manager does.
[19:41] <anternat> ty ikonia
[19:41] <truepurple> ikonia: Hey its not like that and if your not going to help, at least dont lecture
[19:41] <ikonia> AAIBB^: check if the file exists
[19:41] <AAIBB^> it does exist
[19:41] <xxmmaann> im back /i added edd-on but the same problem
[19:41] <ikonia> truepurple: I have helped, I've explained why you are in this situation, and what to do to fix it, while also suggesting next time you listen to experiencved advice
[19:42] <xxmmaann> :-(
[19:42] <VectorX> is there a way to login to ubuntu so you dont have to keep using sudo to run commands ?
[19:42] <ikonia> AAIBB^: gksudo gedit /ec/vsftpd.conf
[19:42] <ZykoticK9> AAIBB^, also you should use "gksu gedit ..." instead of "sudo gedit ..."
[19:42] <truepurple> ikonia: Exactly what advice are you speaking of?
[19:42] <AAIBB^> what the difference between gksudo and sudo?
[19:42] <ikonia> truepurple: I've explained why it can't be seen by apt, and explained that you'll have to use dpkg to remove it and why you'll have to use dpkg to remove it
[19:42] <ikonia> AAIBB^: one for graphical, one for not
[19:42] <ZykoticK9> !gksudo | AAIBB^
[19:42] <xxmmaann> any ideas?
[19:43] <juancarlospaco> ZykoticK9: sudo do-release-upgrade --sandbox # its the option to SandBox an upgrade
[19:43] <ZykoticK9> juancarlospaco, sorry no idea, good luck.
[19:43] <AAIBB^> TBH also the vi showed it an empty file but thanks
[19:43] <truepurple> ikonia: If you don't tell me what advice I am supposedly ignoring, then at least stop going on about it please
[19:44] <xxmmaann> O:-)
[19:44] <ikonia> truepurple: the advice that you don't need antivirus products, and you certainly shouldn't have used software from outside the repos
[19:44] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, have you tried using "sudo apt-get remove avast<TABKEY>"?
[19:44] <truepurple> ikonia: Bullshit, antiviruses are a legitimate part of linux, so don't give me that crap
[19:44] <ikonia> truepurple: it certainly is, but not for the uses you want at the time
[19:44] <Myrtti> truepurple: the language is uncalled for
[19:45] <AAIBB^> its still loading an empty file.
[19:45] <truepurple> OH geez, so much holier then thou speaking...
[19:45] <subone> I have setup my computer to automatically connect to wireless at boot, but i cant remember how and i need to move it to a new install, what are the different ways to accomplish this, because its not setup in network/interfaces
[19:45] <ikonia> truepurple: as explained to you at the time, antivirus isn't needed on linux due to how the permissions system works and how virus works, antivirus on linux is really only used for tools such as file servers and mail servers to stop windows clients getting virus, rather than the host linux system
[19:45] <truepurple> Myrtti: English is called for
[19:45] <MAxLimit> hi
[19:46] <xxmmaann> i should reinstall x server?
[19:46] <MAxLimit> I'm a programmer and i
[19:46] <xxmmaann> O:-)
[19:46] <truepurple> ikonia: Please just drop it
[19:46] <ikonia> truepurple: also installing software from outside the repos can be a problem situation for Ubuntu, due to the situation you are having,
[19:46] <ikonia> truepurple: you asked what advice you'd ignored, I'm just re-explaining it
[19:46] <amarcolino> pfifo, sorry to disturb just wanted to share this link which I believe is what you were trying to explain and achieves what I want, http://abhishekdelta.wordpress.com/2010/08/15/quickly-configuring-an-ldap-nfs-client-in-fedora/, 'NFS assured that no matter in which of those 6 machines the user logs in, he will always see the same files in his home directory and same..."
[19:46] <AAIBB^> the error message states GtK-WARNING **: attempting to set the premissions of '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel' but failed: no such file or directory
[19:47] <MAxLimit> I'm a programmer and i'd like to contribute with open source projects.. where should i start
[19:47] <truepurple> ZykoticK9: <TABKEY> you mean that line, or what does that mean?
[19:47] <xxmmaann> ;-)
[19:47] <bt> xxmmaann, try "xrandr --output default --mode 1024x768" (or whatever resolution)
[19:47] <froq> how do I disable flash hardware acceleration on ubuntu 10.10
[19:47] <oCean> !contribute | MAxLimit
[19:47] <ikonia> froq: flash doesn't have hardware acceleration
[19:47] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, TAB is used to autocomplete some things - but i'm finished helping you, after your little a-v outburst a few lines ago.  Best of luck.
[19:47] <ikonia> froq: flash is "dumb" in that respect and just uses what xorg will allow
[19:47] <sudokill> vdpau?
[19:48] <froq> ikonia, okay... well then when I use flash in Firefox, it leaves reminantes behind on my desktop, and the only way I can get ride of them is to logout... any idea?  I figured it was related to hwardware acceleration.
[19:48] <ikonia> froq: how did you install flash ?
[19:48] <xxmmaann>  bt: not work
[19:48] <froq> via apt-get
[19:48] <gridbag> What does the nvidia app mean: "This driver is activated but currently not in use."  It seems like I am using it.
[19:49] <pfifo> Amaranth, read this more closely "4) An NFS server ( IP : <IP_ADDRESS> ) which has the user home-directories of all users inside /webteam folder." im talking about making more than just /home a NFS, im saying to make all of / NFS, LDAP would not be needed in this case
[19:49] <LAvalanche> froq: right click in the flash content -> Settings -> uncheck Hardware Acceleration
[19:49] <truepurple> ZykoticK9: Your calling "please just drop it" a outburst???
[19:49] <tixo5> ikonia: im just reinstalling the distro incase i messed too much with it
[19:49] <pfifo> amarcolino, read this more closely "4) An NFS server ( IP : <IP_ADDRESS> ) which has the user home-directories of all users inside /webteam folder." im talking about making more than just /home a NFS, im saying to make all of / NFS, LDAP would not be needed in this case
[19:49] <froq> LAvalanche, where is that at?
[19:49] <pfifo> Amaranth, disregard that
[19:50] <froq> LAvalanche, nvm ... dumb Q
[19:50] <AAIBB^> also sudo vi /ect/svftpd.conf is showing an empty file, so my path must be specified wrong. Yet the file clearly is in the /ect/svftpd.conf location
[19:50] <io> AAIBB^: /etc not /ect
[19:50] <LAvalanche> froq: and you are right, it is the nvidia stuff that leaves this stuff on your desktop
[19:51] <xxmmaann> bt: dont work  /any idea?
[19:52] <anternat> how do i play an mp3 file on my server
[19:52] <anternat> from bash
[19:52] <froq> LAvalanche, so it is related to using nvidia drivers?  .... huh.. anything I can do besides disable hardware acceleration?
[19:52] <anternat> i use putty
[19:52] <xxmmaann> i cant set ahigher resolution
[19:52] <AAIBB^> io: thanks.. but still same error.
[19:52] <pfifo> amarcolino, what I am referencing is my dealings with this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto
[19:53] <xxmmaann> O:-):-/:-(;-)
[19:53] <tixo5> ikonia: would not installing a bootloader via install wizard have any adverse effects? i just run update-grub from my other distro
[19:53] <truepurple> ZykoticK9: Weren't you on when we figured out which line worked?
[19:53] <LAvalanche> froq: you could try to update your nvidia drivers. it looks like a driver bug to me
[19:53] <bt> xxmmaann, no
[19:54] <ZykoticK9> truepurple, please stop highlighting me - hopefully someone else can help you, so address the channel.  good luck.
[19:54] <truepurple> I thought you were on then, if you can remember the command
[19:54] <Douggle> Hi I m trying to do a Wubi install and it installs fine on the windows side, But, when I boot into the installation i get the error no root filesystem is defined
[19:54] <AAIBB^> ah nice another typo. thanks guys
[19:54] <Douggle> how would i fix this?
[19:54] <xxmmaann> bt: i need reinstall x server?
[19:55] <froq> LAvalanche, per System > Adm > Add. Drivers, I have the most up to date... any other way to update drivers? or check for updates?
[19:55] <AAIBB^> it was clearly vsftpd.conf instead of svftpd.conf
[19:55] <LAvalanche> froq: I haven't tried to reactivate it for a long time. Might be still broken. I think you can at least reset/remove this artifacts without  a logout
[19:56] <xxmmaann> O:-):-/
[19:56] <froq> LAvalanche, ok.. I will look into it.  thz
[19:56] <oCean> xxmmaann: stop that please
[19:56] <xxmmaann> ok sorry
[19:56] <kate_r> hi
[19:56] <LAvalanche> froq: I think you just have to tune the display color in the nvidia utility and the artifacts go away - but this is just a workaround
[19:56] <kate_r> whta's a good image backup utility like time machine?
[19:56] <xxmmaann> i need reinstall ubuntu :-(
[19:57] <truepurple> I used that tab thing, but it said it had like 168 possible ways to finish the line, going through the list most of these aren't even close
[19:57] <DasEi> kate_r:
[19:57] <DasEi> !info unison
[19:57] <truepurple> and now how do I exit out of the list?
[19:57] <pfifo> truepurple, press Q
[19:57] <bt> xxmmaann, don't know if reinstall will help. you have to add the higher resolutions manually as described in the link earlier. but i can't explain it better than the link.
[19:57] <kate_r> DasEi, but unison synchronises files and doesn't take images of the disk
[19:58] <th0r> kate_r: the best way to image a disk is probably dd
[19:58] <xxmmaann> can you give me that link?
[19:58] <froq> the definite weakness w/ ubuntu (& linux) is the whole driver support side of things.
[19:58] <xxmmaann> again please
[19:58] <truepurple> Sorry, I mean 1646
[19:58] <Douggle> Any ideas on why wubi throws this unable to detect root filesystem error when trying to boot into the install made by windows
[19:58] <DasEi> kate_r: I see, what do you want ? a whole image ? dd then (idk time machine, so I'm not sure)
[19:59] <bt> xxmmaann, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution.
[19:59] <xxmmaann> ok thanks
[19:59] <kate_r> ok i'll try dd
[19:59] <bt> xxmmaann, read the whole article, compare it with your config files and you will figure it out :)
[20:00] <pfifo> kate_r, try this out http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/howto-whole-disk-backups-with-dd-gzip-and-p7zip.html
[20:00] <xxmmaann> ok
[20:00] <LAvalanche> froq: this stuff is closed so the community can't fix it (nvidia/adobe have to do it)
[20:00] <beastlyOne> Hello, I need to know how to access the .(file) area of ubuntu?
[20:00] <ikonia> beastlyOne: what exactly do you need to access ?
[20:01] <beastlyOne> My minecraft application data?
[20:01] <pfifo> beastlyOne, `cd ~/.minecraft`
[20:01] <kate_r> thanks
[20:01] <truepurple> Would someone please help me figure out how to remove this program?
[20:01] <DasEi> beasty: either cd there in terminal or press ctrl+h in explorer
[20:01] <ikonia> truepurple: you need to use dpkg to remove it
[20:02] <froq> LAvalanche, yeah, i know, it is just a big bummer... they really leave us out in the rai.
[20:02] <truepurple> ikonia: I tried sudo  dpkg -r avast4workstation and it didn't work
[20:02] <beastlyOne> Alright, that did it. Thank you!
[20:02] <ikonia> truepurple: is that the package name ? have you searched to see what the package is called in the dpkg database ?
[20:03] <truepurple> ikonia: How do I do that?
[20:03] <danielgrant> hey
[20:03] <ikonia> truepurple: again, with dpkg
[20:03] <danielgrant> can someone please help me?
[20:03] <truepurple> ikonia: Again, how?
[20:03] <danielgrant> im having no luck with 5 different linux systems now
[20:03] <ikonia> danielgrant: if you ask a question, we can try
[20:03] <ikonia> truepurple: look at the reference material for dpkg
[20:03] <danielgrant> they each have different problems
[20:03] <ikonia> danielgrant: we can help you with ubuntu linux only
[20:03] <tixo5> ikonia: im ready
[20:03] <truepurple> ikonia: Where is that?
[20:03] <ikonia> truepurple: on the web
[20:04] <ikonia> truepurple: the man pages
[20:04] <io> truepurple: '$ man dpkg'
[20:04] <subone> anyone have an answer for my networking question?
[20:04] <truepurple> ikonia: man page? A link please
[20:04] <danielgrant> my internet keeps dying
[20:04] <ikonia> tixo5: lets go, lsmod output in a pastebin please
[20:04] <tixo5> damn, its hard for me to output on a different machine ? :S
[20:04] <th0r> truepurple: how did you install that program?
[20:04] <ikonia> truepurple: man pages on on your system "man $command"
[20:04] <danielgrant> i browse the net for less than 5 mins and it keeps crashing, i have to restard to get it back
[20:04] <ikonia> tixo5: ah, does that machine not have any internet ?
[20:04] <pfifo> truepurple, http://linuxreviews.org/man/dpkg/
[20:05] <tixo5> no thats what im trying to fix?
[20:05] <tixo5> hehe
[20:05] <vlt> danielgrant: Describe what exactly happens
[20:05] <ikonia> tixo5: my apologies, missed that part.
[20:05] <danielgrant> my internet keeps dropping when im on firefox
[20:05] <ikonia> tixo5: ok first things first, what network card is this ?
[20:05] <tixo5> Broadcom NetLink BCM57780
[20:06] <tixo5> its something to do with the tg3 module i think
[20:06] <ikonia> tixo5: ok - do you know for certain that tg3 supports that ?
[20:06] <vlt> danielgrant: Describe what exactly happens. "Kepps dropping"?
[20:06] <ikonia> !broadcom ~ tixo5
[20:06] <ikonia> oops
[20:06] <edbian> I think it is not supported
[20:06] <danielgrant> my internet dies
[20:06] <tixo5> im running Mint, ubuntu 11.04 and other on the same machine
[20:06] <ikonia> !broadcom | tixo5
[20:06] <ikonia> edbian: I don't think it's tg3 supported

[20:06] <danielgrant> i have to restard my laptop to get it to reconnect
[20:06] <edbian> Google has dire results

[20:07] <yanty> any idea what it could be?

[20:07] <ikonia> tixo5: no, but the process is the same (to a certainl extent)
[20:08] <ikonia> tixo5: I may have hit the wrong factoid, but lets work it through
[20:08] <tixo5> ok thanks
[20:08] <edbian> yanty: Still there?  Why is it you're running such an old version?
[20:08] <ikonia> tixo5: I don't think that your card is supported under tg3 -
[20:08] <tixo5> ikonia: like i said, it works fine in older ubuntus, i know the module tg3.ko is on the system
[20:08] <ikonia> tixo5: does your card work in any of the linux distros you're running, mint/ubuntu/other
[20:08] <tixo5> ikonia: it works 100% fine on all other distros
[20:08] <yanty> I just never upgraded
[20:09] <ikonia> tixo5: what version of mint are you running ?
[20:09] <yanty> edbian: I just never upgraded
[20:09] <froq> LAvalanche, I disabled compiz and that also helped. just an FYI to ya.
[20:09] <edbian> yanty: silly yanty!  upgrades are recommended :)
[20:09] <tixo5> this isnt mint, my issue is with ubuntu 9.04
[20:09] <edbian> yanty: Do you have a lot of personal files stored on this machine?
[20:09] <ikonia> tixo5: no - I know it's not mint, I'm asking for reference information
[20:09] <danielgrant> am i unmuted?
[20:09] <yanty> edbian: sort of
[20:09] <tixo5> ikonia: the distro is Samurai WTF
[20:09] <yanty> edbian: do I need to make a clean install
[20:09] <tixo5> based on ubuntu 9.04
[20:09] <pfifo> danielgrant, yes
[20:09] <ikonia> tixo5: that's not ubuntu ?
[20:09] <edbian> yanty: pretty much
[20:09] <irule> hi I am trying to setup a chilli hotspot, the instruction ask me to "modprobe tun" but latest ubuntu says modprobe.conf is deprecated, and modconf does not have kernel/net/tun listed, whats up?
[20:09] <DasEi> danielgrant: I can read you
[20:10] <tixo5> yes its ubuntu 9.04
[20:10] <ikonia> tixo5: you just said it was samurai
[20:10] <yanty> edbian: I hate it that I have to upgrade all the time
[20:10] <edbian> yanty: You should save all your personal files (your home folder pretty much).  Then just reinstall with a new CD 11.04 or the latest LTS.
[20:10] <tixo5> ikonia: why are we nitpicking lol, its called samurai, its just ubuntu 9.04 with custom apps
[20:10] <kuix> ola boys ;)
[20:10] <edbian> yanty: Try a different distro :)
[20:10] <Douggle> hello? Does anyone have experience with the wubi installer ? i m having issues?
[20:10]  * edbian edbian ducks
[20:10] <ikonia> tixo5: we don't support it then - we don't support custom spins/derivatives
[20:10] <ikonia> tixo5: use the samurai support resources
[20:10] <yanty> edbian: maybe debian is a bit more lasting?
[20:10] <tixo5> ikonia: dude cmon, its an issue with the base not the apps
[20:11] <ikonia> tixo5: sorry - no
[20:11] <tixo5> ikonia: there arent any
[20:11] <nit-wit> Douggle, what is the problem?
[20:11] <Jasper_> can anyone tell me how to create a mbr, since my installation of ubuntu forgot to install one.
[20:11] <ikonia> tixo5: we can't help then
[20:11] <pfifo> irule, what exactly are you trying todo? (im not fimiliar with waht you mean by chili hotspot)
[20:11] <edbian> yanty: Debian releases are more like 3 - 5 years.  Ubuntu is every 6 months
[20:11] <tixo5> ikonia: its an ubuntu driver issue, how is it not related....
[20:11] <edbian> yanty: Distros like arch are rolling which means you never have to upgrade major releases
[20:11] <DasEi> Jasper_: mbr or grub ?
[20:11] <tixo5> there are documented bugs on it
[20:11] <ikonia> tixo5: I apprceciate that, but we don't support 3rd party spins
[20:11] <tixo5> ikonia: ill get you a link
[20:11] <ikonia> tixo5: don't need a link thanks
[20:11] <edbian> Of course, other distros are offtopic here :/
[20:11] <tixo5> ikonia: its an ubuntu bug man
[20:11] <tixo5> ikonia: i just need help with it
[20:11] <Douggle> okay the installer goes thru just fine, but when i boot in to complete the installation i get the following error, Unable to detect root file system, Please select the partiton manager or something along thos elines"
[20:11] <ikonia> tixo5: you've not using ubuntu - we don't support custom spins, sorry.
[20:11] <Jasper_> DasEi: mbr
[20:12] <tixo5> okok
[20:12] <tixo5> ikonia: ive got ubunut 9.04, the issue is the same
[20:12] <ikonia> tixo5: no you've not
[20:12] <edbian> yanty: You could always go to the Ubuntu LTS releases which last 3 years
[20:12] <tixo5> yes i do
[20:12] <ikonia> tixo5: please don't get smart and start telling lies
[20:12] <blz> Douggle:  obvious question... did you define a / partition?
[20:12] <tixo5> your being stupid to be fair, its ubuntu related very much so
[20:12] <tixo5> well i got excited for the help
[20:12] <yanty> edbian: the problem is that generally latest releases consume more memory and stuff
[20:12] <tixo5> anyone else not too busy?
[20:12] <ikonia> tixo5: it's the rules - we don't support custom spins, sorry .
[20:12] <tixo5> im not asking you to support it
[20:13] <Douggle> i tried to access the partition manager and it gave me an unable to Import Xauthorization
[20:13] <ikonia> tixo5: you are. you're asking for help with it
[20:13] <tixo5> im asking for help with a tg3 bug in ubuntu
[20:13] <ikonia> that is support
[20:13] <tixo5> no man
[20:13] <ikonia> tixo5: you're not using ubuntu, sorry. Please stop now.
[20:13] <nit-wit> Jasper_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy%20LiveCD%20Files
[20:13] <tixo5> i am
[20:13] <DasEi> Jasper_: if you have no mbr, you're missing a partitontable, so need to reinstall, what do you mean forgot mbr ? pc won't boot then
[20:13] <blz> tixo5:  what are you using?
[20:13] <Dr_Willis> theres always askubuntu.com
[20:13] <edbian> yanty: software in general grows as hardware grows. Be happy that linux software grows much much slower than MAC or Windows software.
[20:13] <tixo5> look, where else can i go to find someone willing to look it over
[20:13] <ikonia> tixo5: you are using Samurai distro - based on ubuntu, not ubuntu, we don't support it. Please stop asking now
[20:13] <edbian> yanty: There's really no avoiding the slight bloat over the years.
[20:14] <nit-wit> Douggle, where are you putting the wub install?
[20:14] <tixo5> ikonia: there is 1500 ppl here, your not the only one willing to help, carry on helping someone whos actually using ubuntu then
[20:14] <edbian> yanty: bloat perhaps isn't even the right word in linux.  'Addition of features' I'd call it.
[20:14] <blz> tixo5:  I'd look on your distribution's website.  I'm sure they have a "help" or "support" section
[20:14] <yanty> edbian: ok, anyways thanks for the info you guys :)
[20:14] <tixo5> blz:  no there is no
[20:14] <edbian> yanty: sure
[20:14] <Jasper_> DasEi: indeed it says there is no bootable device available, since there is no mbr it can't find one. I installed ubuntu with a usb stick.
[20:14] <yanty> see ya!
[20:14] <edbian> yanty: There is only 1 of me btw
[20:14] <ikonia> tixo5: no - stop asking now. This is your last warning
[20:14] <tixo5> blz: ikonia there is NO issue with their distro
[20:14] <tixo5> the issue is with tg3
[20:14] <Douggle> atm its on D:\ubuntu but it gives the same error if its on C:\ubuntu
[20:14] <blz> tixo5:  then that's a good reason to switch distros =/  You might also see if there's a relevant section on the ubuntu forums.
[20:14] <DasEi> tixo5: there is ##linux, also
[20:15] <blz> tixo5:  which distro are you using?
[20:15] <nit-wit> Jasper_, did you see the linkfor reloading the mbr.
[20:15] <tixo5> DasEi: i guess ill try there, as its soooooo offtopic
[20:15] <yanty> edbian: just so that your ego doesn't blow up :D
[20:15] <pfifo> tixo5, why not just install the latet ubuntu? Your card will probabally just work and we have all the same apps as your 3rd party distro
[20:15] <tixo5> blz: Samurai
[20:15] <edbian> yanty: :)
[20:15] <xxmmaann> i installed arandr but the same problem i cant apply a higher rezolution / when i set a higher resolution the screen is too 'big' i need move mouse to move the screen
[20:15] <tixo5> pfifo: the card works fine in older ubuntus
[20:15]  * edbian is the best thing that ever happened to this planet.
[20:15] <tixo5> i want to use this distro
[20:15] <oCean> tixo5: enough, drop the discussion now
[20:15] <ikonia> tixo5: enough now. Please.
[20:15] <tixo5> i know it can be fixed in 5 min
[20:15] <DasEi> Jasper_: so you rather should try to reinstall grub, if the install finished
[20:15] <tixo5> with somebody who knwos how
[20:15] <DasEi> !grub
[20:16] <xxmmaann> O:-)
[20:16] <DasEi> first link ^ , Jasper_
[20:16] <anternat> how do i check my sound card properties
[20:16] <pfifo> xxmmaann, write a xorg.conf file and be done with it
[20:16] <storrgie> Hey I am using the STA driver with my BCM4311 but network manager wont show it!!!
[20:16] <truepurple> When it says "dpkg -l | --list" does it mean to write either side of  "|"?
[20:16] <Jasper_> DasEi: i'll try
[20:16] <ikonia> truepurple: just -l should do it
[20:16] <DasEi> Jasper_: you need that usb-live again, but the tut is very handy, else ask
[20:16] <ikonia> truepurple: it's explaining that -l is the same as --list
[20:16] <storrgie> https://gist.github.com/1062507
[20:17] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  | is a bash featuer to pipe output from oen command to another.
[20:17] <xxmmaann> pfifo: is too hard
[20:17] <KM0201> storrgie: so try the b43 driver?
[20:17] <edbian> storrgie: Can you get on a wifi network?
[20:17] <storrgie> the driver is apparently loaded, but network-manager wont display it
[20:17] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  but in the bash man pages/help its means  'or'
[20:17] <edbian> storrgie: I can help.  I am very sure.
[20:17] <storrgie> edbian: i dont know how to do it without network-manger
[20:17] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  -l is the same as --list in that case
[20:17] <storrgie> KM0201: how do i install that?
[20:17] <edbian> storrgie: Ok.  The card isn't showing networks in the applet?
[20:18] <KM0201> storrgie: wait, is your network applet not showing?.. thats just a simple matter of atting indicator applets to the panel
[20:18] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  short 'arguments' use one dash, the more readable long arguments use 2.
[20:18] <edbian> storrgie: I don't think that driver is working at all then.  sudo iwlist scan    shows wifi networks in the CLI
[20:18] <storrgie> edbian: yes, i cannot even see the card under network-manager... it just shows my ethernet. would you like a screenshot?
[20:18] <edbian> storrgie: I understand the problem.  run iwlist scan
[20:18] <edbian> storrgie: no screenshot necessary
[20:18] <truepurple> Dr_Willis: I see, BTW do you know what command ended up working last time?
[20:18] <KM0201> storrgie: ok, so then you're wireless isn't working
[20:18] <storrgie> lemme gist, one moment
[20:18] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  i dont even rember what 'last time' was about.
[20:18] <pfifo> xxmmaann, it might be tedious, but thats not a reasonable excuse, at least youll get more support asking about what options do what
[20:18] <KM0201> !b43 | storrgie
[20:18] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  im lucky to rember my own name half the time.
[20:19] <truepurple> Dr_Willis: Removing AVAST
[20:19] <ikonia> truepurple: I've told you waht to do
[20:19] <edbian> storrgie: We will get to the guide KM0201 posted
[20:19] <truepurple> Dr_Willis: Last night
[20:19] <ikonia> truepurple: search for it in dpkg for the package name, then remove that pacakge name
[20:19] <storrgie> https://gist.github.com/1062513
[20:19] <Dr_Willis> I installed avast yesterday.. never removed it. yet. :)
[20:19] <storrgie> looks like its not even available as an interface
[20:19] <edbian> storrgie: alright the STA driver is not working
[20:19] <edbian> storrgie: That's right it's missing.  Are you online using eth0 ?
[20:19] <KM0201> bingo bango
[20:19] <storrgie> yes i am
[20:19] <edbian> KM0201: bingo
[20:19] <KM0201> lol
[20:20] <truepurple> ikonia: No you gave me something to research for myself, I am asking someone if they remembered what actually worked. Assuming I figure out how to do what you suggest, it still may not work
[20:20] <edbian> storrgie: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[20:20] <storrgie> so b43?
[20:20] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  ive had the sta driver not work  for some of my cards also.. had to use the other drivers.. but i dont recall what drivers they eere.
[20:20] <edbian> storrgie: Yeah we'll use b43
[20:20] <ikonia> truepurple: it will work
[20:20] <edbian> Dr_Willis: b43 is used for 4311
[20:20] <truepurple> Dr_Willis: What ubuntu do you have installed?
[20:20] <storrgie> lemme remove STA
[20:20] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  yea. I had a similer card on an older laptop
[20:20] <pfifo> xxmmaann, run `nvidia-xconfig` to get a starter file, with any luck it will work without modification
[20:20] <ikonia> truepurple: and if it doesn't it will give useful errors as it's the base package manager.
[20:20] <edbian> storrgie: sure.  I was gonna get to STA next
[20:20] <edbian> Dr_Willis: I have the exact same card on an old dell b130
[20:20] <edbian> Dr_Willis: ohhh dell :)
[20:20] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  using Lubuntu+kubuntu-desktop+ubuntu-desktop+enlightment+fluxbox+other things...
[20:20] <tixo5> ikonia: if i install 9.04 will i get the support?
[20:21] <ikonia> tixo5: no
[20:21] <sktn07> how to get same assistance of idm(internet download manager of windows) in ubuntu 9.10?
[20:21] <KM0201> Dr_Willis: edbian i've never gotten the STA driver to work w/ the 4311... always had to use b43, even though the wiki says the the 4311 works w/ STA and the b43
[20:21] <tixo5> ikonia:  why??
[20:21] <storrgie> ok installing now
[20:21] <ikonia> tixo5: 9.04 is EOL
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> !eol | tixo5
[20:21] <xxmmaann> ERROR: Unable to write to directory '/etc/X11'.
[20:21] <edbian> KM0201: I wish the wiki wasn't misleading.  Why even bother getting two drivers working for the same chipset?
[20:21] <tixo5> jokes :S
[20:21] <danielgrant> hey
[20:21] <truepurple> Dr_Willis: What are you using avast on?
[20:21] <edbian> storrgie: did you install the firmware?  We need that firmware to use b43, many people don't know that.
[20:21] <KM0201> edbian: i know, i know.. i've ha that complaint sever times.. especially regarding the 4311
[20:21] <danielgrant> my wireless internet keeps cutting out on ubuntu 10.04
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  they rewrote them to be better code.
[20:21] <edbian> storrgie: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
[20:21] <edbian> Dr_Willis: STA is better?
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  using Lubuntu+kubuntu-desktop+ubuntu-desktop+enlightment+fluxbox+other things... <--------------------------------------  Lubuntu + other desktops i isntalled
[20:22] <xxmmaann> i cant set a higher resolution  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvbfmLIRSlU
[20:22] <pfifo> xxmmaann, run it as root 'sudo nvidia-xconfig'
[20:22] <tixo5> is there any better resource for me than ##linux?
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  i think it was a lot of code clean up. But i got rid of that laptop. so i havent tried sta in ages.
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> tixo5:  askubuntu.com
[20:22] <danielgrant> im using a toshiba satelite c660
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> tixo5:  ubuntu forums.
[20:22] <ikonia> tixo5: this channel is not a yellow pages, you've not even asked in ##linux yet, o I suggest you start
[20:22] <sktn07> how to get same assistance of idm(internet download manager of windows) in ubuntu 9.10?
[20:22] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: that is for uubntu - not for custom distros
[20:22] <danielgrant> theres same problem on windows 7, something to do with power saver...
[20:22] <xxmmaann> New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[20:22] <ikonia> ubuntu even
[20:22] <KM0201> lol, yellow pages
[20:22] <storrgie> edbian: should I restart?
[20:22] <edbian> KM0201: Dr_Willis In regards to b43  you almost always have to install firmware-b43-installer to get the firmware for the card.  Why doesn't Ubuntu put that as an update?  Or make it auto-install?  I can't tell you how many people I've helped do it.
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> ive not even heard his original problem... :)
[20:22] <xxmmaann> is ok?
[20:22] <tixo5> ikonia: i didnt want to ask without checking if it was the best place thats all
[20:23] <storrgie> edbian: I'm guessing a restart is required
[20:23] <edbian> storrgie: sudo modprobe b43  (after you did the firmware)
[20:23] <pfifo> xxmmaann, now as root 'sudo restart gdm'
[20:23] <danielgrant> there was no problem with ubuntu 11.04 other than devede not working
[20:23] <ikonia> tixo5: this channel is for ubuntu support, not channel directories,
[20:23] <edbian> storrgie: restart not necessary but would achieve the same thing as the modprobe.
[20:23] <oCean> truepurple: 'grep' works as a filter, you can use it to search for a certain string. So running  dpkg -l | grep -i ava  will return all package names with that string in it
[20:23] <KM0201> edbian: yea, i've helped several w/ it also... but i think because the firmware is "non-free"... i could be wrong
[20:23] <tixo5> ikonia: your attitude stinks :(
[20:23] <danielgrant> which is what i need, and fedora wont accept any pluggins for internet
[20:23] <edbian> storrgie: you did the firmware right?
[20:23] <danielgrant> like flash, etc
[20:23] <storrgie> edbian: hey hey
[20:23] <storrgie> edbian: :D
[20:23] <edbian> KM0201: That's why it's not distributed
[20:23] <edbian> storrgie: I'm good huh?
[20:23] <ikonia> tixo5: you're inability to drop a subject is the issue here - you've not taken the hint
[20:23] <storrgie> edbian: you have paypal you saved me about 2 hours I would like to donate to you
[20:23] <edbian> KM0201: But it's in the repos!  Why can't it be an update?  Maybe that's distributing too?
[20:23] <storrgie> edbian: PM me
[20:23] <KM0201> edbian: well, thats probably why it's not instaled by default i guess.
[20:23] <ninjah> anyone know anything about iplog
[20:23] <ninjah> ??
[20:23] <edbian> storrgie: hahah, no thanks
[20:24] <edbian> volunteering is fun :)
[20:24] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  i thought the 'addational drivers' tool installed those.. but   i could be wrong.
[20:24] <edbian> KM0201: fact remains. It's a mystery to new users
[20:24] <KM0201> edbian: not saying i disagree,.. just saying why aren't the "restricted" Nvidia drivers activated by default?
[20:24] <storrgie> edbian: I would like to buy you a beer though
[20:24] <KM0201> edbian: totally agree
[20:24] <edbian> Dr_Willis: does it?  That thing is buggy IMO
[20:24] <LAvalanche> truepurple: not sure if this is correct - but you could give it a shot: sudo dpkg -r avast4workstation
[20:24] <Dr_Willis> I really wish they could include the nvidia drivers. I have to fight to install to my nvidia systems to much.
[20:25] <mrdeb> Dr_Willis: on which distros
[20:25] <truepurple> oCean: I put "grep -i ava" and nothing happened, not even a new command line
[20:25] <ikonia> truepurple: what is the exact command you are running
[20:25] <truepurple> ikonia: I just said
[20:25] <anelevoli> i've added PPA xorg-edgers in a hopeless attempt to defeat the A4Tech mouse bug in Ubuntu 10.10. Now all i can see on my screen is some crippled 800x600. How can i downgrade all the packages i've upgraded from xorg-edgers ppa to their "default" versions?
[20:26] <ikonia> truepurple: please put on 1 line the exact command you are running
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> mrdeb:  on most every ubuntu release in the last 3 reeases, and most variants.  they hate my nvidia cards due to driver and/or plymouth issues. I have to use nomodeset  to install.. then fix the drivers/install them  befor i can even get to a useable desktop
[20:26] <xxmmaann> i have the same problem when set a higher resolution http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvbfmLIRSlU
[20:26] <nexion-> hey guys.. I love ubuntu, just not the desktop version as it's loaded with way too much crap I won't use.. is there something (other than server) that gives me a clean ubuntu install allowing me to apt-get all the stuff I need?
[20:26] <truepurple> ikonia:  grep -i ava
[20:26] <oCean> truepurple: that's weird it should return many packages, like avahi daemon, java packages etc.
[20:26] <ikonia> truepurple: that's not a valid command
[20:26] <oCean> truepurple: combine both commands:    dpkg -l | grep -i ava
[20:26] <ikonia> truepurple: as oCean explains you have to pipe dpkg thorugh grep
[20:27] <edbian> minimal?
[20:27] <LAvalanche> anelevoli: try ppa-purge
[20:27] <truepurple> oCean: Put "dpkg -l | grep -i ava" as a command?
[20:27] <alex421> hello friends. i was wondering if there is possible to set up ubuntu's network card power settings so when i set my laptop into sleep mode, it won't reset my network PPPOE connection. i have dynamic ip and i want to keep it untouched for a while without a router if you know what i mean. thanks!
[20:27] <pfifo> xxmmaann, ohh your using xrandr
[20:27] <ikonia> truepurple: looks better
[20:27] <oCean> truepurple: yes
[20:27] <truepurple> How do I get a command line in the terminal again?
[20:27] <h1gh> nexion-: xubuntu?
[20:27] <ikonia> truepurple: you're already at it
[20:27] <anelevoli> LAvalanche, thank you
[20:27] <ikonia> truepurple: where did you type grep -i before ?
[20:27] <truepurple> ikonia: In a terminal window
[20:27] <xxmmaann>  pfifo: so , what should i do?
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> $ dpkg -l | grep -i avast
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> ii  avast4workstation                     1.3.0                                          avast! antivirus for Linux
[20:27] <Dr_Willis>
[20:27] <h1gh> !xubuntu | nexion-
[20:28] <ikonia> truepurple: that is a command line
[20:28] <truepurple> ikonia: and now that terminal window has no command line in it
[20:28] <pfifo> xxmmaann, remove xrandr (or learn how to use it on your own)
[20:28] <ikonia> truepurple: that IS the commmand line
[20:28] <LAvalanche> truepurple: sudo dpkg -r avast4workstation
[20:28] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get remove avast<TABKEY>                  fills in the name. :)
[20:28] <nexion-> hm.. I was thinking something even more clean
[20:28] <ikonia> truepurple: the terminal you're using is a command line interface
[20:28] <nexion-> just the base system with apt-get
[20:28] <nexion-> without preinstalled GUI
[20:28]  * edbian feels great for helping storrgie
[20:28] <edbian> :)
[20:28] <xxmmaann> pfifo: how can i remove that?
[20:29] <truepurple> ikonia: But there is no command prompt line within that terminal now!
[20:29] <ikonia> truepurple: control + c
[20:29] <truepurple> ikonia:  No "@myubuntu:~$"
[20:29] <edbian> nexion-: This is something called a minimal CD.  It allows you to pick packages at install time.
[20:29] <ikonia> truepurple: did that work?
[20:29] <edbian> nexion-: I've never used it.  I heard about it the other day
[20:29] <h1gh> !minimal | nexion-
[20:29] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:  this is when it would be worth while to spend an hr reading through some basic bash tutorials.
[20:29] <truepurple> LAvalanche: That doesn't work
[20:29] <nexion-> oh cool
[20:30] <pfifo> xxmmaann, I think you may be more comfortable with the software center, but theres always dpkg and apt-get from the cli
[20:30] <ikonia> truepurple: stop trying to jump the gun - do what I've said and you'll get there properly
[20:30] <nexion-> I will look into that.. thanks :)
[20:30] <Argorok> Hi, does anyone use Mercurial? I need helo and explanation of some things
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> truepurple:   sudo apt-get remove avast<TABKEY>                  fills in the name and can remove that avastworkstation
[20:30] <shadow696> www.shadowforums.org GO CHECK IT OUT!!!  DOING HUGE GIVE AWAYS AT 100 MEMBERS !!!! MAKE SURE UR HERE BEFORE WE DO THE GIVEAWAYS!!!
[20:30] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: apt won't get it as he installed it outside of apt
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> ikonia:  odd.. the package i saw/downloaded from it.. was a .deb
[20:31] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: how did you install it ?
[20:31] <pfifo> did someone say giveaways? is the free bacon?
[20:31] <Dr_Willis> avast4workstation_1.3.0-2_i386.deb
[20:31] <anternat> how do i install sound card drivers for live value 5?
[20:31] <Dr_Willis> from their download page
[20:31] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: sorry, I mean how did you physically install it onto the machine, dpkg or apt ?
[20:31] <Dr_Willis> sudo dpkg -i foo.deb   i belive.
[20:31] <xxmmaann> xrandr is the gnome resolution switcher?
[20:32] <truepurple> Dr_Willis: tab does complete it to avast4workstation if I input enough, but the command does not find the program for removing it
[20:32] <Dr_Willis> can apt even do a .deb ? :) i dont recall ever doing it that way
[20:32] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: maybe it should see it, but we'll get there if he runs the dpkg command we can see if it's there
[20:32] <Aurios> do you people know a good Ubuntu Tutorial for Noobs from A to Z?
[20:32] <ikonia> truepurple: just work it through, do the dpkg command you've got and see what it turns up - that's specific to your machine, we can find any problems then
[20:32] <ikonia> Aurios: https://help.ubuntu.com
[20:32] <Dr_Willis> !manual | Aurios
[20:32] <Aurios> i would like to learn to use Linux/Ubuntu
[20:32] <Aurios> thanks!
[20:32] <xxmmaann> pfifo: :' xrandr is the gnome resolution switcher? sistem /preferences/ monitirs
[20:32] <Dr_Willis> Aurios:  and lots and lots of reading. :)
[20:33] <pas> hi i have the problem with audio hdmi for my pc .... don't run
[20:33] <pfifo> xxmmaann, it is optional
[20:33] <pfifo> !info xrandr
[20:33] <Aurios> @Dr_Willis: I think i will suceed at this :D
[20:33] <pfifo> !info xrandar
[20:33] <Dr_Willis> avast scaned 3gb of files in 3 min. :) may as well keep it installed here for a extra scanner to scan my windows shares.
[20:34] <xxmmaann> pfifo:  i think i cant save the resolution setting withowt it
[20:34] <Dr_Willis> Aurios:  if you are at the bookstores look for books in the bargin bins. :) look for books on the fundamentals like on Bash,vim, awk, and regular expressions.. :)  keep them in the 'loo' and read them every morning.
[20:34] <xxmmaann> removing it can fix the problem?
[20:34] <xxmmaann> because i cant set a higher resolution fron nvidia-setting
[20:35] <Traintop> Hi Folks! -I just got my AlarmClock working; but the "at" command in sometimes more than a minute late... -can this be adjusted by parameters to atd?
[20:35] <Traintop> s/in/is/
[20:35] <xxmmaann> whenn i try set a higher resolution from nvidia i get the same problem
[20:35] <pfifo> xxmmaann, nvidia wants direct control of your display
[20:35] <pas> hi i have the problem with audio hdmi for my pc .... don't run ... i can try ... but nothing ...
[20:35] <ikonia> Traintop: probably your clock drifting, sync your clock
[20:35] <xxmmaann> ok i will remove it
[20:35] <xxmmaann> now
[20:36] <Traintop> ikonia: I see the local-clock on my monitor
[20:36] <ikonia> Traintop: look at the system time with the "date" command
[20:37] <xxmmaann> in software center ?it is not installed?
[20:37] <Traintop> ikonia: it's the same; my clock is ok; but when e.g. I set a job in atd for "21:30", the mp3-file mostly starts a 21:31,20
[20:37] <xxmmaann> i cant find it using synaptic
[20:37] <Traintop> so, atd is more than a minute inaccurate
[20:37] <ikonia> Traintop: I wonder if that's just lag of starting the application
[20:38] <Traintop> ikonia: it's just vlc :-)
[20:38] <ikonia> Traintop: test it, make the first thing it does is touch a file, see if that happens on time, then change it to the alarm clock
[20:38] <Traintop> normally open up in 1 sec :-)
[20:38] <pfifo> xxmmaann, libxranr2
[20:38] <pfifo> xxmmaann, libxrandr2
[20:38] <ikonia> Traintop: that way you know if the problem is at or the process it's trying to run
[20:38] <Traintop> ikonia: ok, that's an idea :-)
[20:38] <ikonia> Traintop: I suspect it's the process
[20:39] <stowoda> is ist possible to scan a document and print it the way a photocopier would do it?
[20:39] <stowoda> I have got a scanner and a printer
[20:39] <drake01> hi guys, I m trying to build gtkmm's latest version using jhbuild and facing the errors while building  its glib depecdency any solutions!!!
[20:40] <daniel> \0034 hi
[20:40] <stowoda> I mean: the printer dont print the whole page instead it leaves some free space around the picture
[20:40] <ikonia> drake01: install the correct dependency
[20:40] <stowoda> omg, wht a complicated question..
[20:41] <xxmmaann> pfifo: i cant find it in synaptic
[20:43] <drake01> ikonia: jhbuild kindaa  does all the things like fetchin latest source files from repositories along with sourcecode of dependencies ( in this case glib). It fetched the required source files itself for glib too.
[20:43] <ikonia> drake01: ok - so the problem is with the code then,
[20:43] <pfifo> xxmmaann, `sudo apt-get purge libxrandr2`
[20:45] <xxmmaann> it cant find it i have a error
[20:46] <pfifo> xxmmaann, wow, ok, what did you do to your system?
[20:46] <Gaara> Ok..I'm a total newbie here.
[20:46] <Gaara> How do I install Flash for my Chromium on 11.04?
[20:46] <Gaara> I don't even know how to install things normally, can anyone take me through it? I would be incredibly grateful.
[20:46] <xxmmaann> i installed a nvidia driver from official site but that dont work so i installed back the old driver 260
[20:46] <mrdeb> Gaara: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[20:46] <pfifo> Gaara, install the package 'flashplugin-installer'
[20:47] <pfifo> xxmmaann, OHHH no wonder why nvidia-settings isnt working
[20:48] <pfifo> xxmmaann, what graphic card do you have?
[20:48] <thedude1> i am trying to get an external dvd drive working on my netbook but nothing happens. can anybody help me?
[20:48] <xxmmaann> nvidia geforce6100 nforce405
[20:48] <Gaara> Thanks :)
[20:48] <pfifo> xxmmaann, `sudo apt-get install nvidia-current`
[20:49] <mrdeb> pfifo: isnt it glx
[20:49] <icecream4RUSswee> hi
[20:49] <anternat> how do i install sound card drivers for live value 5?
[20:49] <xxmmaann> i aleready installed nvidia curent driver from sistem/admin/add.drivers (ver.260...)
[20:49] <pfifo> mrdeb, isnt what glx?
[20:49] <mrdeb> nvidia on terminal
[20:49] <mrdeb> i know in debian its nvidia-glx and nvidia-dkms
[20:50] <pfifo> xxmmaann, let me know when your finished running `sudo apt-get install nvidia-current`
[20:50] <alex421> hello. i was wondering if there is possible to set up ubuntu's network card power settings so when i set my laptop into sleep mode, it won't reset my network PPPOE connection. i have dynamic ip and i want to keep it untouched for a while without a router if you know what i mean. thanks!
[20:50] <pfifo> mrdeb, possibly, nvidia-current is a meta package
[20:50] <mrdeb> meta points ot the real packages, is htat correct
[20:51] <icecream4RUSswee> hi
[20:51] <pfifo> mrdeb, yes im not 100% sure what it installs but it installs what I want :)
[20:51] <Dr_Willis> mrdeb:  or pull in several paclages as a group.
[20:51] <mrdeb> ok willis
[20:52] <icecream4RUSswee> i want to modify gnome 3 ffrom source and i want to know if some one knows someone that will help me
[20:52] <brainard52> hey, i need some help with something. i was wondering if there is a defrag program for linux that will defrag my windows partition.
[20:52] <ikonia> brainard52: no - use windows for that
[20:53] <icecream4RUSswee> brainard52 no
[20:53] <pfifo> icecream4RUSswee, its on another IRC network, #gnome on irc.gimp.net
[20:53] <icecream4RUSswee> pfifo: ok
[20:53] <brainard52> windows freezes up half way through the defrag
[20:53] <Jeruvy> brainard52: then you have hardware issues.
[20:53] <edbian> brainard52: then something is really wrong
[20:53] <brainard52> :(
[20:54] <brainard52> might be the HD :(
[20:54] <edbian> brainard52: sorry!  Get your data copied onto another drive.
[20:54] <brainard52> ack. that costs money... at least the drive does.
[20:55] <brainard52> is there any way to ignore these announcements?
[20:55] <thesnark> is anybody else experience ridiculously low download speeds for packages?
[20:55] <thesnark> experiencing*
[20:55] <edbian> thesnark: try a different server
[20:55] <xxmmaann> i tried install using terminal . message / nvidia-current is aleready installed
[20:55] <edbian> thesnark: System -> Admin -> software sources
[20:55] <rww> brainard52: which announcements?
[20:55] <mrdeb> thesnark: the main serve can be slow
[20:55] <xxmmaann> ;-)
[20:55] <brainard52> the ones that start with ==
[20:56] <pfifo> xxmmaann, can you pastebin the output of 'lsmod'
[20:56] <rww> brainard52: click the blue menu button in the top-left of the page, click Options, click "Hide JOINS/PARTS/QUITS", click Save
[20:56] <thesnark> edbian I'm not using unity...do you mean change repositories in synaptic?
[20:56] <mrdeb> how do you make lxrandr save monitor config after reboot
[20:56] <mrdeb> ?
[20:56] <brainard52> ty
[20:57] <brainard52> anyway, i'm out. maybe ttyl...
[20:57] <edbian> thesnark: I gave directions for ubuntu classic (not unity).  I don't know of a way to change servers in synaptic so I'm gonna say 'no')
[20:57] <alphacat> [$noob] hello friends, if you could help me on this i would be grateful - wubi.exe install fails with 'Cannot download the metalink and therefore the ISO', i have full logs if necessary
[20:57] <edbian> thesnark: Ubuntu classic:  System -> Admin -> Software sources.

[20:58] <nndhawan> hey all was wondering does anyone know how to link a different openId account to their existing ubuntu account?
[20:58] <edbian> thesnark: confused still... ?
[20:58] <nndhawan> or better yet just get rid of it?
[20:58] <centuryon> sup
[20:58] <mrdeb> alphacat: can you boot install from usb instead
[20:58] <thesnark> edbian Yeah, I do not see Software Resources
[20:58] <thesnark> edbian our screens are identical
[20:58] <centuryon> some crap driving me NOTS!!!
[20:59] <alphacat> mrdeb: i only have a 2gb stick with me right now
[20:59] <pfifo> xxmmaann, and yet 'sudo nvidia-settings' wont let you change resolutions?
