[08:40] <uouou> there's so many fracking audio servers/etc in linux... portaudio, pulse, arts, alsa, oss, jack...
[08:41] <uouou> probably missed a couple
[08:41] <Flannel> uouou: You'll probably get more support in a slackware (or slamd64 channel)
[08:41] <hostess> 有人么
[08:41] <complex_number> will UNetbootin overwrite the whole USB stick?
[08:41] <hostess> ？
[08:41] <bullgard4> Who can give me a simple example of 'badblocks' usage? 'man badblocks' did not enlighten me.
[08:42] <Flannel> !cn | hostess
[08:42] <ikonia> bullgard4: did you read the important notice
[08:42] <uouou> Flannel: maybe so... I figured here because the correct settings I need to pinpoint the problem are located in ubuntu
[08:42] <Daps> webcam install, logitech, quickcam... help anyone... i know i need a driver... can't seem to install the ones i find for download online... is there an "apt-get install" one out there..?? anyone..???
[08:43] <kingtekrin> ...
[08:43] <Khisanth> Gargantua: you could try killing the process, it will either do what you want or take the whole DE with it but you were going to do that anyway! :P
[08:43] <bullgard4> ikonia: which one?
[08:43] <ikonia> bullgard4: the one that says "don't run badblocks, let fsck manage it
[08:44] <Gargantua> heh
[08:44] <bullgard4> ikonia: Yes I did. --  And did you read the question which I put here in this channel?
[08:45] <ikonia> bullgard4: if you want to be smart about it, I suggest you take it to a more appropriate channel as this is not an ubuntu question,
[08:45] <ikonia> bullgard4: your persistantly asking generic linux questions, and you respond with smart responses to people trying to offer you advice/help
[08:46] <bullgard4> ikonia: badblocks is a component of every recent Ubuntu distribution.
[08:47] <ikonia> bullgard4: yes, so it's generic
[08:47] <ikonia> bullgard4: your not asking something specific to ubuntu
[08:47] <Daps> ikonia: whats a good channel to get webcam installation help?
[08:47] <ikonia> bullgard4: and your attitude towards people helping you is getting tiresome
[08:47] <ikonia> Daps: for ubuntu - here
[08:47] <kingtekrin> well...i need webcam help lol...no  one has an answer tho
[08:47] <ikonia> Daps: why are you requesting version info from me
[08:48] <Daps> ikonia: because i saw your note to bullgard about appropriate channels, I been seeking help here about webcams for a few days now with no progress...
[08:48] <IntuitiveNipple> Daps: what is the camera USB device ID ?
[08:48] <Sa[i]nT> I'm glad my acer cam worked immediantly with ubuntu. Hassle in the old versions.
[08:49] <ikonia> Daps: - no I asked why you have just sent a ctcp version request to me
[08:49] <Daps> ikonia: a what?
[08:49] <ikonia> Sa[i]nT: why are you sending ctcp requests to me now
[08:49] <ikonia> Daps: what irc client are you using ?
[08:49] <Sa[i]nT> irssi, your not hiding too much.
[08:49] <Daft_Punk> ikonia, like that?
[08:49] <Gargantua> Hey how do I install a font?
[08:49] <Daps> intuitiveNipple: how would i go about knowing the device ID ?
[08:49] <Gargantua> say like a .fon or a .ttf
[08:49] <ikonia> Sa[i]nT: why did you do that after I just asked someone not to
[08:50] <Daft_Punk> Gargantua, install it in /home/user/.fonts
[08:50] <Daps> ikonia: Pidgin
[08:50] <ikonia> Daft_Punk: like what ?
[08:50] <lenios> you didn't ask not to, you asked why
[08:50] <Sa[i]nT> ikonia: I was wondering, from your reaction, I thought maybe like Air Force One's IRC, hijacked from the pentagon would show up lol.
[08:50] <ikonia> Daps: I'll have a little look into that
[08:50] <Daft_Punk> ikonia, i did a whois on you, just seeing if that was the request
[08:50] <IntuitiveNipple> Daps: "lsusb"  and the but you want is something like this: "ID 05ca:1836"
[08:50] <Gargantua> Daft_Punk, just copy/paste?
[08:50] <Daps> ikonia: what exactly did it do?
[08:50] <Gargantua> also what if I want it for all users?
[08:50] <ikonia> Daps: it queries my client for information about my client
[08:50] <Daft_Punk> Gargantua, you might not have that folder, you may have to create it, just copy paste font files in there
[08:51] <Daft_Punk> Gargantua, remember it has a period infront of the .fonts so it is hidden (/home/user/.fonts)
[08:51] <Daps> ikonia: i'm new to linux, so i dunno why that happened
[08:51] <Gargantua> Yeah I know
[08:51] <Gargantua> also what if I want it for all users?
[08:51] <Daps> intuitiveNipple: ID 046d:08da is the ID
[08:51] <IntuitiveNipple> Daps: thanks, give me amo
[08:51] <Sa[i]nT> it's kind of hard to accidently version somebody.
[08:51] <Daft_Punk> Gargantua, i am not sure about that, you could always copy it in the other users home folders?
[08:52] <Gargantua> heh
[08:52] <IntuitiveNipple> Daps: you need the gspca driver
[08:52] <Daft_Punk> Gargantua, try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=275202
[08:53] <IntuitiveNipple> Daps: Try this - if you get a report, the driver is installed: modinfo gspca | grep -i '046d.*08da'
[08:53] <Daps> IntuitiveNipple: i've downloaded that driver, but i don't know how to run it
[08:53] <AussieGuy> Ive got a plan to hire 20 VPS servers. Whats the best virtualization technology that is free that I could, for example, upload a bzip2'ed image of a disk so I could clone them to one another?
[08:53] <IntuitiveNipple> Daps: you don't 'run' it. Do you mean build it?
[08:54] <AussieGuy> Id want to install ubuntu on one virtual disk, then bzip2 it and make all the vps servers use copies of it
[08:54] <ikonia> AussieGuy: talk to the people your hiring the servers off, they will already have a method in place (probably)
[08:54] <Daps> intuitiveNipple: i guess so, compile it may be the word i'm looking for
[08:54] <Daft_Punk> 'doh
[08:54] <Daps> alias:          usb:v046Dp08DAd*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip* is the result i got
[08:54] <Daft_Punk> hey $chan
[08:54] <AussieGuy> havent picked a company yet.....I heard openvz is pretty widespread?
[08:55] <IntuitiveNipple> Daps: Install it from my PPA - I maintain a whole bunch of web-cam drivers in DKMS packages to make it easy
[08:55] <Daps> whats that good for?
[08:55] <IntuitiveNipple> Daps: https://edge.launchpad.net/~intuitivenipple/+archive?field.name_filter=gspca&field.status_filter=published

[08:55] <Daft_Punk> lol
[08:55] <Daps> intuitiveNipple: thanks
[08:55] <drhe|lap> Daft_Punk, when will you guys be coming out with some new material?
[08:55] <Daft_Punk> i hope soon
[08:56] <drhe|lap> do you think you will ever be able to top Discovery?
[08:56] <Daft_Punk> we will top Alive
[08:56] <Flannel> Hey guys, mind taking it elsewhere?  thanks. #ubuntu-offtopic would be a good candidate
[08:57] <Daft_Punk> Flannel angry :(
[08:57] <drhe|lap> i personally loved Discovery.
[08:57] <AussieGuy> probably my home development environment (on a couple of different comps) will resemble something like Ubuntu/WinXP->VirtualBox->OpenVZ->Ubuntu
[08:57] <Flannel> Daft_Punk: Not angry, just keeping this channel useful.  We aren't trying to discourage conversations, just keep them in the proper channels.
[08:58] <Daft_Punk> Flannel, i was joking.
[08:58] <Sa[i]nT> AussieGuy: Why are you seeking to virtualize an OS?
[08:58] <AussieGuy> portability
[08:58] <Daft_Punk> Sa[i]nT, also prevents having to restart ur pc for a dualboot :p
[08:58] <AussieGuy> across different hardware
[08:59] <Sa[i]nT> AussieGuy: You could always to ubuntu->Qemu
[08:59] <Sa[i]nT> to = do^

[09:20] <toxicosmos> mm, I can't get the Muine music player working Ziroday
[09:20] <Ziroday> toxicosmos: have you installed it and how>
[09:21] <Ziroday> 8?
[09:21] <Ziroday> **?
[09:21] <nate_> whats a good webcam software?
[09:21] <amanu> is there any easiest and fastest way to remotely use a system using xp
[09:21] <ompaul> !webcams
[09:21] <Jaffarkelshac> vnc amanu
[09:21] <toxicosmos> the version in repository is the 8.7, I read that the bug it's fixed on 8.8
[09:21] <Ziroday> amanu: best asked in ##windows
[09:22] <Ziroday> toxicosmos: ah okay, so are you trying to get Muine 8.8 or later?
[09:22] <ompaul> !timebasedreleases
[09:22] <toxicosmos> yes, I'm looking for it.
[09:23] <toxicosmos> Ziroday:
[09:23] <Ziroday> toxicosmos: one minute, also what version of ubuntu are you using?
[09:23] <amanu> im using ubuntu and i wanna share some data who is using xp
[09:23] <amanu> can i with vnc?
[09:23] <toxicosmos> hardy heron for the amd64
[09:23] <Ziroday> amanu: what data do you want to share?
[09:23] <Ziroday> toxicosmos: thanks
[09:23] <amanu> Jaffarkelshac:frankly i have some photos (in my ubuntu)
[09:24] <toxicosmos> thanks to you Ziroday
[09:24] <amanu> Ziroday:ihave some photos i want to share it with my relatives
[09:24] <Jaffarkelshac> them just use share
[09:24] <favro> unrar -e file.rar doesn't work but unrar e file.rar does? why drop the dash?
[09:24] <Ziroday> amanu: okay, and you want to send the photos?
[09:24] <amanu> Ziroday:i want to give access of my system to them to just see all
[09:25] <Jaffarkelshac> you can connect to shared folders on xp using smb://ip-address amanu
[09:25] <technoid_> farvo: that one took me too long to figure out what i was doing wrong...
[09:25] <Ziroday> amanu: are they in your local network?
[09:25] <amanu> Ziroday:im nowing logged on ububntu
[09:26] <amanu> Ziroday:noo there are very far
[09:26] <amanu> Ziroday:out of country
[09:26] <amanu> continent
[09:26] <Ziroday> amanu: okay
[09:26] <amanu> they are in us
[09:26] <amanu> im in india
[09:26] <amanu> Ziroday:as my net speed is slow
[09:26] <Jaffarkelshac> then the best would be uploading it to the web for them to download. there are some that have passwords for it
[09:26] <amanu> i wnat to give them access to my system to see all
[09:26] <Ziroday> amanu: that would be very difficult to let them see all your photo's. The best idea would be to zip them up and upload the to somewhere on the internet for them to download
[09:27] <Ziroday> amanu: unfortunatly giving them access to your system is very complicated
[09:27] <amanu> Ziroday:to send each photo of around 2.5 mb for me it takes around 5 min
[09:27] <amanu> Ziroday: ihave some hundredss
[09:27] <amanu> Ziroday:of a function
[09:28] <Ziroday> amanu: the best idea is to copy them to a dvd and mail it to them
[09:28] <amanu> Ziroday:cant i give them to acess my system to see once
[09:28] <amanu> later i will mail b coz it takes much time
[09:28] <Jaffarkelshac> in any case your it would still take 5 min for them to see the picture if they accessed your machine.
[09:29] <srg> amanu maybe you can decrease the resolution of the pictures?
[09:29] <Jimm-> xrandr is just giving me jitter on both tvs i've tried it on, anyone know why this would be?
[09:29] <amanu> Ziroday:i have heard that we can just acess any system over a network as we browse ovwr net is it real/
[09:30] <amanu> srg:how to minimise size
[09:30] <amanu> im now in ubuntu
[09:30] <amanu> any suggesstions to reduce size of a picture/
[09:30] <Ziroday> toxicosmos: I have been unable to find an external repo with muine 0.8.8 or later hosted. If you really need the latest packages you can run the unstable intrepid release which is currently at beta stage however this is extremely dangerous. You can also wait a month or so for intrepid to be released normally
[09:30] <Jaffarkelshac> it is, but with your slow speed, browsing your computer would be very slow amanu
[09:30] <Ziroday> amanu: you can convert them to a different format, lower the resolution and/or compress them
[09:31] <amanu> Jaffarkelshac:ok may be a slow to browse but can we do so/
[09:31] <Jaffarkelshac> yes amanu, it can be done
[09:31] <Ziroday> amanu: and yes they can access your system, but it will be *extremely* slow and very very difficult to setup
[09:32] <Ziroday> amanu: as well as unsafe
[09:32] <Jaffarkelshac> your best option is to reduce res of pictures upload them
[09:32] <Ziroday> amanu: or mail them
[09:34] <Jaffarkelshac> there is a scale image in gimp for reduction resolution amanu
[09:35] <Jimm-> Any xrandr experts here?
[09:36] <complex_number> I booted with netubootin but it didn't detect my hard disk
[09:36] <Ziroday> Jimm-: what graphics card?
[09:36] <toxicosmos> thanks Ziroday!
[09:36] <Theeb> hello, I somehow have all the KDE programs under applications > other , i have no idea how they got installed, like 50 programs just for KDE
[09:36] <Ziroday> toxicosmos: I am sorry I couldn't give you a better solution
[09:36] <kevin_> I'm playing with Compiz -- how do I get the "Mac's 'alt-tab' effect"?? anyone know?
[09:36] <Jimm-> Ziroday, I'm using an ATI RS300, 9100IGP, with the open source "ati" driver.
[09:37] <kevin_> the one where the windows split up on the screen
[09:37] <complex_number> I have a ST3500320AS hard drive
[09:37] <Ziroday> kevin_: one sec
[09:37] <blag> im trying to get internet connection sharing enabled using firestarter, but whenever i try to start the firewall it tells me that the device isnt ready
[09:37] <Ziroday> !ccsm > kevin_
[09:38] <Ziroday> Jimm-: gimme a sec
[09:38] <StooJ> Anyone know why a seperate home partition is not the default for a guided installation with the desktop CD?
[09:38] <Jimm-> Ziroday, Basically I tried all that xinerama mergedfb stuff but found out that xrandr is the new way. But i've had no luck in getting s-video to display properly, however I can get output.
[09:38] <Ziroday> Jimm-: can you see the other monitor in xrandr?
[09:38] <wallabillah> hello. i wanna try to install xchat on my ubuntu, so I go in the terminal and write $ sudo apt-get install xhat. But I just get the following message: E: could not get lock /varlib/dpkg/lock - open(11 Resource temporarily unavailable) What does this mean, and how do i fix it?
[09:39] <complex_number> !seagate

[09:39] <kingtekrin> you must have synaptic open walla

[09:39] <wallabillah> KingOfDos|lap: how do i check that?
[09:39] <complex_number> !hardwaresupport
[09:39] <Ziroday> wallabillah: it means you have another installer program running somewhere

[09:39] <Ziroday> !msgthebot > complex_number
[09:39] <wallabillah> StooJ: only if it started by itself
[09:40] <wallabillah> StooJ: how can i see if it is open?
[09:40] <Gargantua> hey guys
[09:40] <Ziroday> wallabillah: check you don't have the update manager running
[09:40] <StooJ> wallabillah, have you got the update manager running
[09:40] <Ziroday> Gargantua: hello
[09:40] <Gargantua> any idea how I would convert ttf to pff ?
[09:40] <wallabillah> StooJ:no..I only have firefox running and my terminal
[09:41] <StooJ> wallabillah, Try minimizing both those windows. There might be a dialogue box behind them saying "Update complete" or something
[09:42] <wallabillah> StooJ: ahh ok..it was because i tried to update my graphic driver before....which also encountered an error actually....but did not close that window
[09:42] <StooJ> wallabillah, grand. That should be it now
[09:43] <wallabillah> Now i just get that it cannot find the package xchat
[09:43] <blag> firestarter tells me that the device that shares my internet connection isnt ready, when it should be...
[09:43] <Ziroday> wallabillah: the package is xchat-gnome
[09:43] <StooJ> wallabillah, remember it's xchat, not xhat like you typed earlier
[09:43] <StooJ> Ah, yeah. Cheers Ziroday
[09:43] <Ziroday> StooJ: have fun
[09:43] <wallabillah> hmm yes
[09:44] <wallabillah> but also cannot find xchat-gnome
[09:44] <maniheer> !xchat
[09:45] <maniheer> !info xchat
[09:45] <Ziroday> wallabillah: it should be there, did you spell it correctly?
[09:45] <maniheer> !info xchat-gnome
[09:45] <wallabillah> ubottu: are you able to find xchat package in your terminal?
[09:45] <Ziroday> !msgthebot > maniheer
[09:45] <Jimm-> Ziroday, I haven't tried the other ports, but the laptop lcd works fine when I turn svideo on. I'll read that thread, brb
[09:45] <Xtreme_Great> !bitchx
[09:46] <Xtreme_Great> !sh
[09:46] <Xtreme_Great> !ubottu
[09:46] <Seveas> Xtreme_Great, don't play with the bot.
[09:46] <Flannel> Xtreme_Great: bitchX has been removed from the repos due to some rather serious security issues
[09:46] <wallabillah> Ziroday: yes here is what i wrote: sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome
[09:46] <Xtreme_Great> Seveas: Why what's wrong with that?
[09:46] <maniheer> Ziroday, i was helping wallabilah
[09:46] <Ziroday> wallabillah: which repositories are you using?
[09:46] <Flannel> Xtreme_Great: Do it in a query, instead of spamming the channel, thanks.
[09:46] <Seveas> Xtreme_Great, this is a support channel. You're disruptive
[09:47] <Ziroday> maniheer: query the bot first, and then give the person the answer :)
[09:47] <wallabillah> Ziroday: not really sure hehe...i just open the terminal and write that command
[09:47] <Xtreme_Great> Seveas: Flannel: Hey c'mon I just msg'ed the bot twice... :)
[09:47] <Ziroday> wallabillah: okay, do you know where the software sources are?
[09:48] <wallabillah> Ziroday: no idea...somewhere in a repository on the net i guess
[09:48] <Ziroday> wallabillah: no no, go to System > Administrator > Software Sources. And try switch your repositories to a different place.
[09:48] <Ziroday> wallabillah: and then see if you can find the package
[09:49] <wallabillah> aha
[09:49] <blag> anybody know anything about nat or internet connection sharing or firestarter?
[09:49] <wallabillah> no i have shifted to main server
[09:49] <wallabillah> i will try again
[09:49] <Ziroday> wallabillah: great
[09:49] <maniheer> wallabillah, sudo apt-get update first
[09:50] <Ziroday> maniheer: the software sources handles that automatically for him
[09:50] <erUSUL> !inetsharing | blag
[09:50] <wallabillah> maniheer: yes one moment
[09:50] <StooJ> wallabillah, While you're in there, check that you have the universe repos ticked
[09:51] <Ziroday> StooJ: xchat-gnome is in main :)
[09:51] <maniheer> Ziroday, stupid GUI, too used to tty
[09:51] <maniheer> :D
[09:51] <wallabillah> its currently updating the repos info i think
[09:51] <wallabillah> that happend automatically
[09:51] <blag> erUSUL: thank you.  it seems that most of the time i just dont know the ubottu command.  :-)
[09:51] <Ziroday> wallabillah: yes, it would be. So far so good :)
[09:51] <wallabillah> my net is a bit slow...only 61Kb/s
[09:52] <Ziroday> wallabillah: thats fine, no worries
[09:52] <mohkohn> What is a good battery monitor app to use with lxde?
[09:52] <maniheer> lxde ftw
[09:52] <wallabillah> Ziroday: meanwhiel...may i ask you another question
[09:52] <Ziroday> mohkohn: ask in #lxde irc.oftc.net
[09:52] <Ziroday> wallabillah: of course
[09:52] <StooJ> Ziroday, oops.
[09:52] <mohkohn> preferably one that gives a warning when my battery is going down.
[09:52] <Ziroday> maniheer: please refrain from doing that. You are more then welcome to do that in #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:52] <Ziroday> StooJ: no problem :)
[09:53] <Jimm-> Ziroday, so I have a couple of options the, try using the "radeon" and give xrandr another shot, or use PVR 350 S-video out with ivtvfb?
[09:53] <wallabillah> Ziroday: You see, i have a Lenove T61p thinkpad with fingerprint scanner. Would it be possible to make that work so that i can just scan my fingerprint when i log into ubunto instead of having to write username and password
[09:53] <mohkohn> to my last something that is ubuntu with apt.
[09:53] <Ziroday> wallabillah: gimme a sec
[09:54] <Ziroday> Jimm-: I believe so
[09:54] <maniheer> !info tdbatmon
[09:54] <wallabillah> Ziroday:ohh and the packet manager seems to be working fine with xchat now :) thank you so much
[09:54] <Ziroday> wallabillah: no problem. Do you know what repo you were using before?
[09:54] <maniheer> !info gbatt
[09:54] <wallabillah> Ziroday:yes, it said local-Denmark
[09:55] <Ziroday> maniheer: please stop doing that. see !msgthebot
[09:55] <Jimm-> Ziroday, s-video is the only thing preventing me from removing media center :'( I hope they make some fixes for intrepid
[09:55] <wallabillah> Ziroday: or server-denmark actually i think
[09:55] <Ziroday> Jimm-: well from what I read about the thread your card is not getting anymore support. Sorry
[09:55] <The_IRC_Joker> i tried to install skype on my ubuntu
[09:55] <maniheer> !msgthebot
[09:56] <Ziroday> wallabillah: please read this as I try to find some more ubuntu specific instructions http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Integrated_Fingerprint_Reader
[09:56] <ubuntoRoxx> hi there
[09:57] <wallabillah> cool thanks
[09:57] <The_IRC_Joker> i'll be right back
[09:57] <maniheer> mohkohn, if ur using lxde then u must be able to use wmbattery
[09:57] <maniheer> !info wmbattery
[09:58] <Jimm-> Ziroday, yeah I know it sucks, because the last the last thing I need supported
[09:59] <Ziroday> wallabillah: here is a guide for gutsy, it should still be reasonably relevant http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_(Gutsy_Gibbon)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#Fingerprint_Reader
[09:59] <Ziroday> Jimm-: sorry
[09:59] <Jimm-> Ziroday, no problems i'll look for an alternative option to get tv-out. I appreciate your help though that link was usefull.
[10:00] <Ziroday> Jimm-: good luck
[10:00] <wallabillah> Ziroday:i will read it....thank very much
[10:00] <Ziroday> wallabillah: no problem, have fun
[10:03] <The_IRC_Joker> i am back but it is quiet
[10:03] <Ziroday> !skype | The_IRC_Joker
[10:03] <blag> what does "Create new wireless network" do in the nm-applet?
[10:04] <The_IRC_Joker> ok thanx
[10:05] <jim_p> !libgail
[10:05] <The_IRC_Joker> i will save the pages...thank you
[10:05] <comicinker> how do I create a development package from the sources of a library (using autogen.sh or configure)?
[10:05] <jim_p> how do i ask the bot about where is libgail.so located?
[10:05] <comicinker> locate libgail.so in a terminal
[10:06] <Ziroday> Jim_p you can do it on your computer by first doing sudo updatedb and then doing mlocate libgail.so
[10:06] <jim_p> Ziroday: i dont have it, i want to learn which package installs it! Otherwise i would locate
[10:06] <Ziroday> jim_p: ah right, gimme a sec
[10:07] <Ziroday> jim_p: probably libgail-common
[10:08] <comicinker> jim_p: you can use apt-file to search for files within packages
[10:08] <comicinker> sudo apt-get install apt-file
[10:08] <comicinker> sudo apt-file update
[10:08] <comicinker> apt-file search filename.foo
[10:08] <jim_p> Ziroday: thanks, how about libatk-bridge?
[10:08] <Ziroday> jim_p: one sec :)
[10:09] <jim_p> comicinker: apt-file froze on my hands while it was updating its db, dumped it the way i installed it
[10:09] <Ziroday> jim_p: probably in libatk1.0-0
[10:09] <comicinker> the apt-file update takes quite long
[10:09] <comicinker> and there is no feedback, just wait a couple of minutes
[10:10] <rinaldi_> Hi, I just got my new HP pavillion set up but I cannot find a way to change the default screen brightness as it always gets set to the lowest when turned on, even on AC power. Any ideas?
[10:11] <mohkohn> thanks maniheer. looking for something light for the eeepc 4g
[10:11] <Ziroday> rinaldi_: are you using gnome?
[10:11] <rinaldi_> Ziroday: yes
[10:11] <Ziroday> mohkohn: on the eeepc you can only get a reading in percentages in blocks of 10 due to the acpi implementation
[10:11] <Ziroday> rinaldi_: do you see a batter icon in the top right?
[10:12] <Ziroday> rinaldi_: or go to System > Preferences > Power Management
[10:12] <rinaldi_> Ziroday: no, sometimes it's there sometimes it isn't
[10:12] <jim_p> Ziroday: thanks a lot
[10:12] <Ziroday> jim_p: have fin
[10:12] <Ziroday> *fun
[10:12] <Ziroday> rinaldi_: did you see my second reply
[10:13] <rinaldi_> Ziroday: yes, but there is no way to change the default brightness, only to dim it when AC is disconnected
[10:13] <mohkohn> Thanks Ziroday my need is to get a warning before the battery dies.
[10:13] <blip-> hi all, i just intalled java6-jre, java6-jdk on the ubuntu 8.04 and uninstalled the previous java5.   now when i try to complile with javac it tells me "The program javac can be found in the following packages:" and goes on to list them... but i already have the java6 jdk installed.... is the package broken ?     Thanks
[10:14] <Ziroday> rinaldi_: ah, I am not sure then sorry. I can google around if you want
[10:14] <_fs> Hi everyone, I'm at a bit of a loss here. I've got a machine which appears to have a linux software raid array, the cleaner unplugged the power and now it won't boot. Unable to mount root filesystem. I suspect the array may have failed, anyone know of a way to rebuild these?
[10:14] <blag> how do i get ubuntu to act as a wireless access point?  i try to create a new wireless network with network manager and it tries to connect to the network instead of setting one up.  any help?
[10:14] <scuser> hi all, I'm using ubuntu 8.04, and I have kerberos installed, when I try to add a new user the system asks for kerberos password, which means that I have to add a principal for the user before I add it to the system, does anyone know how to solve this problem ?
[10:14] <IntuitiveNipple> blip-: check update-alternatives --list javac
[10:15] <maxtor211> I can't put anything on my external HDD
[10:15] <blag> _fs: do you know what type of raid?
[10:15] <maxtor211> It says I dont have permission to
[10:15] <maxtor211> any ideas?
[10:15] <rinaldi_> Ziroday: ok thanks anyway
[10:15] <_fs> blag: unfortunately no, I suspect raid 5 or raid 0, as it's three disks but I'm unsure.
[10:15] <blip-> IntuitiveNipple: it said "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/javac"
[10:16] <IntuitiveNipple> blip-: that looks correct
[10:16] <_fs> the disks appear to be fine physically
[10:16] <IntuitiveNipple> So, your build scripts must be setting up the wrong path
[10:16] <blip-> IntuitiveNipple: so its the path that is incorrect then...
[10:16] <blip-> i see
[10:16] <blip-> apt-get should really take care of that though :/
[10:16] <IntuitiveNipple> blip-: many scripts do that, unfortunately
[10:16] <maxtor211> It says I dont have permission to to put anything on my external HDD
[10:16] <maxtor211> any ideas?
[10:16] <IntuitiveNipple> how can it?
[10:17] <koshari> maxtor211 ghow did you maount it?
[10:17] <maxtor211> through gparted
[10:17] <maxtor211> well i reformatted it to ext3
[10:17] <maniheer> maxtor211, do 'sudo nautilus --no-desktop' and try again
[10:17] <maxtor211> then i tried to drag something and it wouldnt let me
[10:17] <blip-> IntuitiveNipple: may i ask,  should i be adding this location to $PATH ?  How can that be done in ubuntu ?   thanks
[10:17] <koshari> an fstab entry is proly a better way then you can specify the permissions,
[10:18]  * blip- stabs the f
[10:18] <blag> _fs: so you cant even boot the thing.  do you know if the os is on the raided drives?
[10:18] <_fs> blag: no experience with linux raid unfortunately, the disks appears to have a boot sector with grub etc etc, and a larg 150gig of unpartitioned drive
[10:19] <IntuitiveNipple> blip-: You can add it to the path, yes: but usually if using a build script of some sort, that is where it needs correcting
[10:19] <maxtor211> how do i reformat a external HDD
[10:19] <_fs> blag: Yes, its running Kubuntu 7.04. I beleive the /boot/ sectors are in tact, however when it attempts to mount the root partition and run the terminal it fails
[10:19] <j00bacca> will intrepid have support for intel g33 chipsets?
[10:20] <IntuitiveNipple> blip-: export PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/javac:$PATH"
[10:20] <_fs> blag: /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control off
[10:20] <blag> _fs: ah, okay, can you pastebin your /boot/menu.conf ?
[10:20] <_fs> sure thing, give me a few minutes and i'll get back to you in a moment =)
[10:21] <blag> maxtor211: install gparted from the repositories
[10:21] <blip-> IntuitiveNipple: you mean "export PATH="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/:$PATH" ie without the javac right ?
[10:21] <IntuitiveNipple> blip-: but of course lol
[10:21]  * IntuitiveNipple blushes
[10:22] <blip-> IntuitiveNipple: ok i added it, but by mistake i added the javac path as well :)    can i remove that by editing some text file ? or is there an unexport function
[10:22] <Ziroday> j00bacca: best asked in #ubuntu+1

[10:23] <Gargantua> Anyone know what the emerald themes package is called?
[10:23] <Tarantulafudge> hello, everytime I start a fullscreen open-gl game my gnome-panel dissapears until I restart gnome, why is that?
[10:23] <Gargantua> Why does emerald come with no themes
[10:24] <blip-> IntuitiveNipple: yes i did the old one is still there.
[10:25] <reehan> but where do i type it?
[10:25] <reehan> maniheer_: where do i type it?
[10:25] <Cheek1> i have a very old 2 266 mhz with 128 gig ram and have .. a 6.4hd  i was wondering if i could turn that into a maybe a a ps3 server where i can stream movies and music to the ps3 .. and my server is running ubuntu server edition
[10:25] <_fs> blag: Sorry blag, I was mistaken there. It's the boot sectors that are in tact, not the /boot partition

[10:26] <blip-> IntuitiveNipple:  if it doesn't hurt i'll just keep it there.  thanks for the help.  i better go back to my javac'ing
[10:26] <blag> _fs: so what, if any, files can you read?
[10:26] <maniheer_> its '/join ##xen
[10:26] <maniheer_> without the '
[10:26] <_fs> blag: theres initrd, config, vmlinuz etc in the root, and a grub folder and a lost+found folder

[10:34] <_fs> blag: I'm looking at it from a application on another machine which i was trying to use to recover the raid at the moment, you want me to boot back into the system and post a ls of the grub directory for you?

[10:36] <jussi01> DEViUS: you did substitue the "file.run" for the name of the file you want to run...?
[10:37] <amygdala> Hello, I lost automount of cd/dvd and sd-card, but it remained for usb-flash. Can anyone help me?
[10:37] <DEViUS> jussi01: obviously
[10:37] <jussi01> DEViUS: just had to check

[10:39] <maxtor211> i cant write anything to my external HDD
[10:39] <maxtor211> anyone know if i can fix this
[10:40] <jussi01> DEViUS: nope
[10:40] <DEViUS> jussi01: thanks anyway
[10:40] <technoid_> max: can you see the partitions?
[10:40] <Jimm-> Ziroday, I probably have a VGA -> Composite adapter somewhere in my drawer, that should do the trick.
[10:40] <OneZero> blag: ok, it's no hurry..
[10:40] <maxtor211> i cant write anything to my external HDD this is a brand new HDD im kinda panicing lol
[10:40] <DEViUS> maxtor211: is it ntfs
[10:40] <blag> _fs: and, tbh, i would rather you grab a livecd and use that, so we dont touch the system, but i kinda want to get you past grub
[10:40] <maxtor211> no its ext3
[10:40] <maxtor211> i formatted it ext3
[10:40] <maxtor211> thats when it started
[10:40] <neil_d> I put this line "*/10 * * * * 	root	date +'%F %r' >> /tmp/cron_test.txt" in /etc/crontab why doesn't it do anything ?
[10:41] <technoid_> max: could be a permissions issue
[10:41] <DEViUS> maxtor211: did you check the permissions
[10:41] <blag> _fs: so if you have a livecd, nows the time to use it.  it not, please reboot and tell me whats in grub
[10:41] <maxtor211> Yeah that's what it says
[10:41] <maxtor211> I dont have permission to write to it
[10:41] <_fs> blag: alright i'll boot up the ubuntu live cd now
[10:41] <maxtor211> The folder "Backup Logos" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination.
[10:41] <koshari> maxtor211 mount it using an fstab entry
[10:41] <DEViUS> maxtor211: give yourself some privileges
[10:41] <maxtor211> so what would the command be sorry
[10:42] <maxtor211> im sorry kinda new to linux
[10:42] <DEViUS> koshari: i dont think its necessary to use an fstab entry, or what do you think
[10:42] <koshari> you need to add a line in your fstab file depending on the device/uuid/permisions ect, and then run mount with the appropiate switches
[10:42] <maxtor211> How do I do that
[10:42] <DEViUS> koshari: yeah
[10:43] <maxtor211> Im confused :9
[10:43] <maxtor211> so what command would
[10:43] <DEViUS> maxtor211: see my private msg
[10:43] <maxtor211> i run?
[10:43] <koshari> DEViUS unles its a portable and you could write a script to mount it, i like fstab entrys there a lot more organised, this is how i mount my removable sata backup drive'
[10:43] <blag> OneZero: http://www.wine-reviews.net/microsoft/running-ms-office-2003-under-linux-with-wine-0952.html  looks to be your best bet.  you will be using the latest version of wine (or close to it) and wine _finally_ hit 1.0 this year, so it might be even easier.
[10:44] <arkhat> hello, is it possible to install additional dictionaries in the gedit spell-checking menu?
[10:44] <koshari> maxtor211 firsty crate a folder from your home dir to mount it, this way you will have all the correct permissions,
[10:44] <koshari> then mount the drive to that place card (or folder).
[10:44] <defrysk> arkhat, sudo apt-get install aspell-<yourregion>
[10:44] <OneZero> blag: thanks, I have the latest Wine version. I'll go and take a look at this page..
[10:44] <neil_d> I put this line "*/10 * * * * 	root	date +'%F %r' >> /tmp/cron_test.txt" in /etc/crontab why doesn't it do anything ?  I expected to do the command every 10 minutes.
[10:44] <blag> maxtor211: did you format the external drive as ext3?
[10:44] <arkhat> defrysk, desn't work
[10:45] <defrysk> arkhat, no ?
[10:45] <blag> while im waiting...anybody have any easy (eg: gui) ways of setting up a wifi ap?
[10:45] <DEViUS> blag: me
[10:45] <MrColor> server irc.onlinebg.biz
[10:46] <blag> DEViUS: learn me something good or send me somewhere good please.
[10:46] <defrysk> arkhat, go to the tools section of gedit and select language and if you wish autocheck
[10:46] <arkhat> defrysk, I can only choose turk(?!?) from that menu
[10:46] <DEViUS> blag: do you see the network icon on top in the navigation pane
[10:47] <defrysk> arkhat, what language would you like to add ?
[10:47] <blag> DEViUS: you want me to go to nm-applet > Create a Wireless Network, right?
[10:47] <arkhat> english
[10:47] <blag> DEViUS: but yes
[10:47] <defrysk> sudo apt-get install aspell-en and restart gedit
[10:47] <DEViUS> blag: not create  connect
[10:48] <DEViUS> blag: wait you want to make one not join right?
[10:49] <blag> DEViUS: correct, i want to make an ap, not connect.  im creating one to cover for my router which died earlier this evening.
[10:49] <DEViUS> blag: i thoght vice versa sry
[10:50] <arkhat> oh defrysk my fault, I was somehow sure thatopenoffice required aspell-<> as dependency
[10:50] <arkhat> thank you ;)
[10:50] <blag> DEViUS: no worries.  the weird thing is that when i do use nm-applet to "create" a wireless network, it tries to connect to it instead of creating it.
[10:50] <blag> DEViUS: network-manager 0.7 cant come soon freaking enough
[10:51] <DEViUS> blag: yeah, its nuts

[10:56] <_fs> blag: sorry, dcd for a second there? did you get that? http://pastebin.com/m6f85228d
[10:56] <blag> _fs: i got it that time
[10:57] <_fs> blag: cool =)
[10:59] <neil_d> I put this line "*/10 * * * * 	root	date +'%F %r' >> /tmp/cron_test.txt" in /etc/crontab why doesn't it do anything ?  I expected it to do the command every 10 minutes.
[10:59] <Harold_parker> hardy is lame
[10:59] <Harold_parker> feisty was way better
[11:00] <Harold_parker> i wish i hadn't upgraded
[11:00] <jrib> neil_d: rootdate?  don't you need a space?  You should be using crontab -e by the way instead of editing /etc/crontab
[11:00] <jrib> !cron > neil_d
[11:00] <blag> _fs: perhaps im being too harsh but that configuration of files is really messed up...
[11:00] <_fs> blag: how so?
[11:01] <grub_booter> Harold_parker: citations needed :-) - got a specific problem with hardy?
[11:01] <blag> _fs: it seems that everything in the /grub directory is a conglomeration of files that are in my /boot and /boot/grub directories...
[11:02] <blag> _fs: would you mind pastebinning your /grub/menu.lst ?
[11:02] <_fs> sure, one moment
[11:02] <Harold_parker> actually i think i may have worked one of the problems out grub_booter *embarrased*
[11:03] <blag> _fs: oh, wait, i just figured it out...
[11:04] <_fs> bah, irc is being a pain
[11:04] <Harold_parker> hmm why isn't vmware-server in the repository list tho?
[11:04] <_fs> blag: http://pastebin.com/m56262fd
[11:04] <grub_booter> Harold_parker: np :-) - was just curious - i have a couple of problems with hardy (audio/pulse occassionaly dying on me, and nvidia drivers occassionally go bang as well, but otherwise have found it works well)
[11:04] <DEViUS> why do i get  "sudo: unable to execute ./whateverapplication.run: Permission denied" everytime i try to install a program with ".run"
[11:04] <qwert666> hi
[11:04] <Harold_parker> grub_booter, yes pulse is an issue here too, but perhaps no more than feisty.
[11:05] <CMS-DT> hi !  Why cant I go on this website with my ubuntu ? http://www.ma-nuvideo-privee.net?id=9530403
[11:06] <erUSUL> !repeat | CMS-DT
[11:06] <CMS-DT> Ok.
[11:06] <qwert666> i have a question , yesterday i upgraded my xserver-xorg and after that i had some problems with gnome ... now the keybord and mouse don`t work is it a common bug?
[11:06] <DEViUS> erUSUL: yes it does
[11:07] <erUSUL> DEViUS: "ls -al ./whateverapplication.run"
[11:07] <blag> _fs: okay, the menu.lst looks fine to me, what happened when you tried to boot it?
[11:07] <jrib> warning: cms-dt's website is inappropriate
[11:08]  * erUSUL suspected that
[11:09] <_fs> blag: everything seems to load find, kernel modules etc however it gets to: Check root= bootarg cat /proc/cmdline
[11:09] <DEViUS> erUSUL: it has the following                  -rwxrwxrwx
[11:09] <_fs> blag: or missing modules, devices: cat /proc/modules ls /dev
[11:09] <_fs> Dropping to a shell!
[11:09] <_fs> blag: Then it's unable to find /dev/tty
[11:10] <erUSUL> DEViUS: only thing i can think of is that the filesystem was mounted with the noexec option.... is this a separate partition from root?
[11:10] <DEViUS> erUSUL: yes its an ntfs partion
[11:12] <Aaqil> hi i want to get latest wine version in my ubuntu how?
[11:12] <jrib> Aaqil: use the winehq repositories
[11:12] <jrib> !wineAaqil >
[11:12] <jrib> !wine > Aaqil
[11:12] <Kamaze> Sup
[11:13] <_fs> blag: sorry, i keep rebooting here.
[11:13] <_fs> blag: err, disconnecting rather
[11:13] <blag> _fs: no worries, i could tell
[11:13] <DIFH-iceroot> i was installing postfix and there was a gui with some questions, then i removed it (apt-get remove) and now im am installing postfix again but there is no gui, how to reconfigure postfix with that gui?
[11:13] <Harold_parker> !vmware > Harold_parker
[11:13] <erUSUL> DEViUS: maybe ntfs partitions (or fuse partitions ) are noecex by default... try to launch it from you home
[11:13] <blag> _fs: so the last thing it did was not find /dev/tty ?
[11:13] <Kamaze> Ok, here i come: I set up some paket pinning for libc6, libc6-dev and libc6-xen, since the new pakage doomed my whole system, how can i replace the current (new) with the old packages now? :(
[11:13] <Harold_parker> damn
[11:14] <_fs> blag: last message it gives is "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control off"
[11:14] <Harold_parker> so i move from feisty to hardy for wine, when it turns out only feisty has vmware...
[11:14] <Harold_parker> !vmware-server > Harold_parker
[11:14] <Harold_parker> bah
[11:14] <DIFH-iceroot> Harold_parker: why not using virtualbox?
[11:14] <unop> !info vmware-server
[11:15] <Harold_parker> thanks iceroot, i'd never heard of it
[11:15] <jrib> Harold_parker: you can still use vmware
[11:15] <blag> so what happened between it not finding /dev/tty and the "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control off"?  or is that what you meant?
[11:15] <Harold_parker> how?
[11:15] <DIFH-iceroot> Harold_parker: i think its a lot better then vmware
[11:15] <Harold_parker> ahh nice :)
[11:15] <Harold_parker> thanks
[11:15] <jrib> Harold_parker: the bot gave you directions.  virtualbox is nice too though
[11:15] <_fs> blag:Thats what I meant sorry, did some googling around and from what i could tell that error comes up when it can't find /dev/tty or something
[11:16] <_fs> blag: may have gotten something a bit mixed up there, sorry if I had you looking at the wrong thing
[11:16] <blag> no worries
[11:16] <blag> _fs: no worreis
[11:17] <_fs> blag: any idea what may be causing the problem? I'm at a loss =(
[11:18] <carrera> Greetings #ubuntu!
[11:18] <Harold_parker> ok thanks
[11:18] <Aaqil> hi there it is old version in ubuntu i want new :( it is wine version 1.0 :((
[11:18] <Harold_parker> i'm trying virtualbox
[11:18] <jrib> Aaqil: did you try what I said?
[11:18] <Aaqil> jrib: i dont understand the link which you gave
[11:18] <Jimm-> !ati
[11:18] <carrera> anyone know of a tiff reader for ubuntu?
[11:19] <jrib> Aaqil: k, I can help you with that.  What's the first thing you don't understand in the link?
[11:19] <Aaqil> jrib: there are many which i never used etc i dont know them
[11:20] <jrib> Aaqil: huh?
[11:20] <Aaqil> jrib: i dont understand what they are telling
[11:20] <jrib> Aaqil: yeah, tell me the first sentence you don't understand?  There's a section called "Newer versions of Wine" discussing what you are interested in
[11:20] <Aaqil> jrib: ok
[11:20] <blag> _fs: maybe a kernel bug<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:21] <gmic> Hi. I'm trying to install g++-4.2 but it tells me that a dependency is not satisfied: libstdc++6-4.2-dev. So then I try to install libc++6-4.2-dev and it tells me that a dependency is not satisfied: g++-4.2. Wtf?
[11:21] <_fs> blag: ok, in which case I'd have to replace the kernel?
[11:21] <jrib> gmic: pastebin the commands you ran and the full output.  Also pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:22] <DIFH-iceroot> is there a tool or a website to check the security of a server? (mailserver, open ports, bad settings)
[11:22] <erUSUL> DIFH-iceroot: there are a few online port scanners (shields up! for example)
[11:22] <gmic> I didn't use xterm. I double clicked the deb packages. What's the generic xterm command to install a deb package?
[11:22] <Aaqil> jrib: i got this http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[11:23] <carrera> any tiff readers for ubuntu?
[11:23] <DIFH-iceroot> erUSUL: thx
[11:23] <HymnToLife> carrera: gimp?
[11:23] <jrib> gmic: why are you double clicking deb packages instead of installing from the repositories?
[11:24] <carrera> Hydromethod, thanks but it's a huge app
[11:24] <gmic> jrib, because I have no internet connection on my ubuntu (chatting from win xp)
[11:24] <jrib> Aaqil: First, open a terminal window (Applications->Accessories->Terminal).  Then add the repository's key to your system's list of trusted APT keys by copy and pasting the following: wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -      .  Have you done that?
[11:25] <blag> that would be my guess, but back up everything you can to something external, backup all of the kernels in /, and then throw in an updated kernel.  when was this machine installed or last kernel updated?
[11:25] <jrib> gmic: where did you get the .deb's from?
[11:25] <HymnToLife> carrera: do you want to just read the images and do nothing on them?
[11:25] <gmic> packages.ubuntu.org
[11:25] <blag> _fs: see my last message in the channel
[11:25] <Aaqil> jrib: yup i did that
[11:26] <carrera> HymnToLife, yessir, I just want to be able to read scanned docs
[11:26] <blag> _fs: well, you will also have to point grub to the updated kernel, of course
[11:26] <_fs> blag: not normally in charge of this machine, just trying to help a mate out. I'd say it's been over a year. It was instlaled in june 2007, doubt itd been updated since then
[11:26] <carrera> Eye of Gnome only shows the first page of a tiff doc
[11:26] <jrib> gmic: try installing from a terminal with: dpkg -i *.deb     (in the right directory).  You also need to make sure you've satisfied all of the dependencies yourself
[11:26] <HymnToLife> carrera: then try eog (Gnome) or Kuickshow/Gwenview/Okular (KDE)
[11:26] <jrib> Aaqil: no errors or output?
[11:26] <carrera> HymnToLife, thanks
[11:27] <_fs> blag: i'll start there then. should I just be using the latest version of the kernel or what? It's running ubuntu 7.04
[11:27] <Aaqil> jrib: it asked my password then output OK
[11:27] <jrib> Aaqil: then move on to the next step.  Run: sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
[11:28] <blag> _fs: check out the date on the last comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/106123   if your friend didnt update the box (although it looks like he updated from -15 to -16) before leaving it alone, he could have had a weird kernel or seomthing
[11:28] <carrera> HymnToLife, eog not in the Add/Remove App's Graphics list
[11:28] <carrera> HymnToLife, eog not in the Add/Remove App's Graphics list
[11:28] <quibbler> carrera: maybe ghfaxviewer
[11:28] <Aaqil> jrib: 15:28:32 (8.91 MB/s) - `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list' saved [180/180]   > OUT put
[11:29] <HymnToLife> carrera: eog is eye of gnome, so you already tried that
[11:29] <carrera> quibbler, looked to no avail
[11:29] <jrib> Aaqil: then the last step (I'm just copying and paste the site verbatim here): sudo apt-get update
[11:29] <_fs> alright, thats the exact message i'm getting pretty much so i'll go with that.
[11:29] <carrera> what's the diff between Add/Remove App and Synaptic Pkg Mgr?
[11:29] <arkhat>  why on my gedit languages there is turk??
[11:30] <mkdigital> hi@all, i got a problem with my webcam in my acer aspire one; ubuntu crashes everytime i try to access it (via skype or any other program)
[11:30] <blag> _fs: i would play it safe and see if you can get the latest kernel for 7.04.  on the other hand, the actual kernel may be a little messed up, so you may want to try replacing that with the same version (-16) as before
[11:30] <Aaqil> jrib:  output >> Reading package lists... Done
[11:30] <gmic> jrib, that's exactly what I was talking about in my original question. I am about to satisfy dependencies and one of the is g++. G++ tells me I need to install libc++. But then libc++ tells me I need to install g++. So I'm stuck. I'll use xterm and try to install the packages. Will copy xterm output. Will then come back and pastebin the output and sources.list. Will you be around?
[11:30] <carrera> HymnToLife, then EOG doesn't work. cause it only shows first page of tiff docs
[11:30] <jrib> Aaqil: you're done.  You should have an update for wine in your update-manager
[11:30] <HymnToLife> carrera: I'm not familiar with Add/Remove, but it seems to sort the packages in categories, and other stuff like that
[11:30] <HymnToLife> while Synaptic just shows you the list of packages, and that's that
[11:30] <_fs> blag: alright, I'll give that a try. Is it as simple as swapping the files out and pointing grub at the new kernel?
[11:30] <blag> _fs: at any rate, i need to get to bed, as ive reached the end of my knowledge on the subject and my sleep
[11:30] <Aaqil> jrib: oh u mean now i should update my ubuntu? coz there are updates available
[11:31] <fenerli7> What on Ubuntu would cause severe 2D performance degradation? Using the same drivers, software, DE, WM and more on Arch Linux, my Core 2 Duo system with dedicated graphics card flies (as it should), but is absolute crap on Ubuntu
[11:31] <jrib> gmic: yeah, using dpkg may sort that out for you since they seem to depend on each other
[11:31] <carrera> HymnToLife, I've found packages in Synaptic that are not in Add/Remove
[11:31] <blag> _fs: i think it is, but, truth be told, ive never done it
[11:31] <jrib> Aaqil: yeah
[11:31] <e-global> hello does gutsy come preinstalled with the openoffice database program?
[11:31] <_fs> blag: thanks for all your assistance, I really appreciate the help.
[11:31] <Aaqil> jrib: thanks :D
[11:31] <blag> _fs: from what i know of the boot process, it *should* be that simple
[11:31] <_fs> blag: alright, i'll make a backup and give it a try. Thanks heaps for your help. I'll see if that works.
[11:31] <blag> _fs: oh, and tell whoever set the machine up to leave the /boot directory alone next time
[11:32] <michaesaur> is there a list of the repository that shows what games are available?
[11:32] <_fs> heh will do.
[11:32] <jrib> !games | michaesaur
[11:32] <HymnToLife> michaesaur: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/games/
[11:32] <HymnToLife> or ubottu links ;)
[11:32] <blag> _fs: well, and you might want to make sure that / wasnt lost in the wind, as you could have been mounting /boot when you meant to be mounting the / directory
[11:33] <mkdigital> would anyone help me with my webcam? would be niche :-)
[11:33] <carrera> Document View worked
[11:33] <fenerli7> michaesaur: remember the free games are free for a reason, don't expect much, Steam and HL/CounterStrike work well through Wine and there are a few nice native commercial games
[11:33] <blag> gnight all

[11:34] <Sa[i]nT> How do I change the BG picture on xfce?

[11:34] <caprotz> !list
[11:36] <e-global> would I use synaptic to install the database program of openoffice?
[11:36] <fenerli7> yes
[11:36] <unop> e-global, that's one way of doing it, yes
[11:37] <fenerli7> e-global: "add/remove programs" is probably the simplest way, just search "openoffice base"
[11:37] <caprotz> ciao
[11:37] <caprotz> !list
[11:37] <e-global> fenerli7:  much appreciated.
[11:37] <e-global> fenerli7: for some reason the package on gutsy has everything but Base, at least on mine.
[11:38] <_fs> where would i go to download a kernel? 2.6.20-16 specifically
[11:39] <fenerli7> e-global: the one that acts as a "suite"? but you can get the database app separately right?
[11:39] <unop> _fs, you should use the package manager to install it - if it's available
[11:39] <fenerli7> I doubt it would be
[11:39] <e-global> fenerli7:  I hope so.
[11:39] <e-global> fenerli7: right the suite was without Base
[11:39] <_fs> unop, I'm trying to drop it into a system which is having a problem - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/106123 these symptoms. Currently unable to boot

[11:51] <pihhan> magnetron: i believe ppc is not supported by ubuntu, i think you cannot install it then
[11:51] <magnetron> pihhan, true, it's not officially supported, however a community version is still available
[11:52] <pihhan> magnetron: debian is supported for that platform for sure, you might try that
[11:52] <Mjateznik> Could someone help me get my scroll working on the touchpad? Both horizontal and vertical
[11:52] <magnetron> pihhan, thz
[11:52] <pihhan> magnetron: ok, i dont know, never had any ppc machine
[11:53] <pihhan> Mjateznik: have you checked scrolling in mouse settings at touchpad tab?
[11:54] <Mjateznik> pihhan: there ain't such a tab? (Preferences - Mouse)
[11:54] <Xecuter> hi! i'm having som trouble getting the displaydrivers working. is the radeonhd driver working correctly?

[11:55] <Mjateznik> fully updated
[11:55] <pihhan> Mjateznik: well, i have it there
[11:55] <Mjateznik> hmm odd...
[11:56] <loopux> anybody knows how to change settings inside system settings , disk & filesystem?
[11:56] <pihhan> have you somewhere at /etc/X11/xorg.conf file device "Synaptics Touchpad"?
[11:57] <loopux> there is an administrator mode button but it doesnt ask me for any password...
[11:57] <pihhan> loopux: what do you want to do?
[11:57] <Mjateznik> pihhan: yea, i will copy paste it
[11:58] <loopux> i want to modify permission for mounting my partitions...
[11:58] <pihhan> !paste | Mjateznik
[11:58] <loopux> i want all partitions to be automounted at startup...

[12:00] <loopux> for instance i tick the "enable at start up" then i close the windows open again and its unticked...
[12:00] <pihhan> loopux: you can edit /etc/fstab using sudoedit /etc/fstab from terminal, but you have to have good format. i dont know how to do that from gui
[12:00] <loopux> yes i tried that too...
[12:01] <loopux> for instance i tried dev/sdc3 /media/sdc3 ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
[12:01] <pihhan> Mjateznik: ok, you have there what you should, so i dont know why you dont have touchpad tab in mouse settings
[12:01] <DEViUS> why do i get  "sudo: unable to execute ./whateverapplication.run: Permission denied" everytime i try to install a program with ".run"
[12:02] <DEViUS> erUSUL: it still gives access denied
[12:02] <loopux> it worked only for one partition and not for the other!!
[12:02] <pihhan> DEViUS: you have not assigned execution bit using chmod +x file to it. you can also run it using sudo sh ./app.run
[12:02] <jrib> DEViUS: what are you trying to install?
[12:03] <Mjateznik> pihhan: okej, thanks anyway... :(
[12:03] <loopux> how i can mount the partition under /media/  ?
[12:04] <DEViUS> jrib: google-earth
[12:04] <pihhan> loopux: you should not mount it there, it is place where automounter does install it
[12:04] <jrib> DEViUS: just use the package from the medibuntu repository and delete what you have downloaded
[12:04] <jrib> !medibuntu | DEViUS
[12:05] <DEViUS> jrib: thanks man
[12:06] <koshari> loopux how do you mean it worked for one partition and not the other,

[12:43] <ompaul> yabuk, searching your favorite search engine will help there you need to know what sending server what receiving server and user names they are controlled by each of the providers not by your client then you just fire up thunderbird and if you have no accounts set up it guides you, if you already have one account on it then clicking on Edit -> Account Settings helps a lot!
[12:44] <ompaul> erUSUL, you don't need the extensions according to my recent web search which threw up: email.about.com
[12:44] <Xarijus> gam3r111, check if firefox is on in System Monitor. End proccess if you find it there, and launch firefox.
[12:44] <erUSUL> ompaul: ok nice to know althought i do not use hotmail nor yahoo ;)
[12:45] <ompaul> erUSUL, funny enough, neither do I ;-)

[12:50] <LjL> what sort of troubles?
[12:50] <edmont82> i put the folder to copy, and at the begining it goes " fast"
[12:50] <edmont82> ~20 MB/s
[12:51] <edmont82> but when it starts to copy a big file, speed drops gradually
[12:51] <amanu> can any one tell me a simple way to manage partitions while installing ubuntu on a 80 gb hdd
[12:51] <LjL> edmont82: that's normal, at the beginning it doesn't really write anything to the drive, it just caches into RAM
[12:51] <LjL> amanu: what do you mean with "manage partitions"?
[12:51] <edmont82> it ends in 7 MB/s or less
[12:52] <amanu> i mean to how much to give for /home /var,/root,,,

[12:53] <tabbu> hi, i had to reinstall (x)ubuntu, now i can't switch to 1440x900 on my laptop. i have a nvidia card and configured it properly to use nv +  1024x768 (at start ubuntu said,its running in low graphics mode), but i can't switch to 1440x900 either?!
[12:54] <LjL> redskull: i don't know.
[12:54] <edmont82> LjL, the laptop has 1 year
[12:54] <nonix4> Oh, need to start from console w/ default Xwrapper.config :/
[12:54] <redskull> okay BB :]
[12:54] <Mjateznik> amanu: on the section "parition" choose "manual" instead of quided and then you delete all partitions that are there from the begining (if you want em formated) after that you create new ones and there is a box for "/" "/home" and all those.
[12:54] <Mjateznik> amanu: grafical is the standard.

[12:58] <edmont82> LjL: usb 2.0 should give as much as 60 MB/s
[12:58] <LjL> htang: perhaps try asking in #ubuntu-cn

[13:04] <edmont82> LjL: I put the HD inside the usb disk enclosure

[13:32] <LjL> WDC: i can tell you what you should add, but i'd really like to make very sure you aren't using a lot of packages that belong to debian and not ubuntu, which would break your system very easily now.
[13:32] <LjL> WDC: what does "apt-cache policy libc6" output for installed?
[13:32] <WDC> LjL: Just things like Installed: 2.7-10ubuntu3 Candidate: 2.7-10ubuntu3
[13:32] <WDC> oops
[13:33] <WDC> LjL: Well there
[13:33] <LjL> WDC: yes that's what i wanted to know
[13:33] <WDC> LjL: I just want PyGTK and need header files
[13:33] <Bluze> guys i have entered this: UUID=a158953f-27c4-440e-b5e0-1dbed9df5cca /media/disk	ext3	auto
[13:33] <Bluze> in my fstab, does it look correct to you?
[13:33] <Ileden> How do I make my shell to display a list of all possible file completitions, instead of just beeping, when using tab-completition?
[13:33] <LjL> WDC: yes, but have some patience please, before we get to that
[13:34] <trabahuuuuu> help me
[13:34] <WDC> trabahuuuuu: Don't do that
[13:34] <trabahuuuuu> hot to enable desktop efects on ubuntu 7.10
[13:34] <LjL> Ileden: hit Tab twice quickly.
[13:34] <tavi> hy
[13:34] <Ileden> LjL: doesn't work.
[13:35] <tavi> does someone installed americna's army on ubuntu?
[13:35] <WDC> LjL: So waht should I add?
[13:35] <trabahuuuuu> how to enable desktop efects on ubuntu 7.10
[13:35] <LjL> Ileden: it really should... *are* there any files for that completion?
[13:35] <LjL> WDC: for a start, *remove* that debian repository
[13:35] <Ileden> LjL: yes, three
[13:36] <WDC> LjL: Okay
[13:36] <Ileden> hmm...
[13:36] <Ileden> LjL: wait it works with other files...
[13:36] <LjL> Ileden: do those files you were trying it with perhaps begin with a space, or other weird characters you might not immediately notice?
[13:37] <LjL> WDC: do you want the non-free repository to be enabled?
[13:37] <WDC> I am sick of vim
[13:37] <Ileden> LjL: ok, I tried tab-completing a program I want to execute, and it seems I have to have ./<program> for it to work
[13:37] <xisco> before I had my ubuntu in spanish and now I changed it to english, and If I have files in a another hard disk with accents I can't see them. How can I fix it ?
[13:37] <WDC> OMG
[13:37] <tabbu> hi, i had to reinstall (x)ubuntu, now i can't switch to 1440x900 on my laptop. i have a nvidia card and configured it properly to use nv +  1024x768 (at start ubuntu said,its running in low graphics mode), but i can't switch to 1440x900 either?!
[13:37] <WDC> This'll take an hour to remove a line
[13:37] <LjL> Ileden: yes, of course you do, unless the program is in the proper executable path (i.e. /bin/, or /usr/bin/, etc)
[13:37] <LjL> WDC: well then use nano
[13:38] <edmont82> LjL, do you now any way to see transfer speed and % done in command line?
[13:38] <WDC> LjL: Not installed. I bet that' sin the reps
[13:38] <tavi> does someone installed american's army on pc?
[13:38] <Jimm-> How do I get mplayer to demux .rm files. It instructs me to read the DOCS, but I did and it simple says "Yes, mplayer plays .rm files". Is there a library I am missing or something?
[13:38] <Ileden> LjL: so no problem. Thanks for helping me find the real problem. :)
[13:38] <LjL> edmont82: no, but for transfer speed... the sure fire way is to copy a big file using "cp", and use "time" to see how long it take. "time cp source dest"
[13:38] <Fructose> I've been getting Firefox crashes on YouTube videos so I uninstalled libflashsupport. Now audio doesn't play when I open a YouTube video. How do I fix this?
[13:38] <Ileden> LjL: and since I'm coming from windows-world, it works without ./ there, so that was the confusion
[13:38] <Stargazers^> Hi. Anyone here eee pc 4g user?
[13:38] <edmont82> LjL: ok
[13:39] <Stargazers^> With default xandros
[13:39] <Jimm-> Fructose, reinstall flashsupport?
[13:39] <Stargazers^> Anyone?
[13:39] <Fructose> Jimm-: Will it stop crashing, though?
[13:39] <WDC> I HATE CLI text editing
[13:39] <WDC> LjL: Sorry for delay
[13:39] <atlef> Stargazers^: go to #eeepc
[13:40] <LjL> WDC: no problem
[13:40] <Stargazers^> atlef: Thanks"
[13:40] <WDC> LjL: How do I save in Nano/
[13:40] <Stargazers^> atlef: Tried eee, asus, asuseee but didn
[13:40] <Stargazers^> found :D
[13:40] <Stargazers^> Thank you for help
[13:40] <LjL> WDC: ctrl+x saves and quits
[13:40] <Jimm-> Fructose, I don't even have that package installed and videos work fine
[13:40] <LjL> WDC: ctrl+o just saves
[13:40] <Jimm-> Fructose, try flashplugin-nonfree
[13:40] <WDC> LjL: Thank god. THanks
[13:41] <Ileden> by the way what's the policy here, when is it ok to ask a question again, if it gets no replies the first time?
[13:41] <Myrtti> Ileden: with some delay
[13:41] <Fructose> Jimm-: So then, what... you're just guessing?
[13:41] <edgear> Hello guys! i have installed the latest (8-9) catalyst driver for my "Radeon Sapphire HD 2600 Pro" on login i see short working compiz effects if i use the menu, than after few seconds ubuntu hangs, what is wrong?
[13:41] <Myrtti> Ileden: hiya, btw :P
[13:41] <LjL> WDC: this sources.list should work: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51634/ -- and if you have a decent internet connection, i suggest removing the cd-rom line, too, and simply using this one
[13:41] <Ileden> Myrtti: :) :D Hi!
[13:41] <LjL> WDC: i've included everything except the "backports" repository
[13:41] <Jimm-> Fructose, did you install libflashsupport because your sound didn't work?
[13:41] <LjL> WDC: that's using the swedish mirror (se.archive.ubuntu.com), of course you can change that
[13:42] <Ileden> Myrtti: as you might notice, I'm finally in the (long) process of migrating to linux :)
[13:42] <WDC> LjL: so just remove the se.?
[13:42] <Myrtti> Ileden: welcome :-D
[13:42] <Myrtti> Ileden: have you joined -fi already?
[13:42] <Fructose> Jimm-: I doubt I installed it because everything was working fine.
[13:42] <LjL> WDC: if you want to use the UK mirror, remove the se., otherwise change it into your favourite country...
[13:42] <LjL> WDC: or just keep the se. if it's fast for you ;)
[13:42] <WDC> LjL: I guess us. is correct
[13:43] <Ileden> Myrtti: nope. is it on the same network?
[13:43] <Myrtti> Ileden: yup
[13:43] <LjL> WDC: it is, although in my experience us.archive.ubuntu.com was never a *very* stable repository (although it might have gotten better now, since i last checked)
[13:43] <Myrtti> Ileden: I should join too, but I'm trying to keep my channels to bare minimum
[13:43] <atlef> how do i lowlevelformat in ubuntu
[13:43] <MrPink-> Can someone help me get divx streaming in Firefox.... its working with Windows, but the MoviePlayer shows up in firefox but doesn't play any videos :-/
[13:43] <WDC> LjL: E: Package python2.4-dev has no installation candidate
[13:43] <Myrtti> s/mum$/mal/
[13:43] <edgear> its the AGP version of the Radeon 2600
[13:43] <LjL> WDC: you must first type "sudo apt-get update" for the new sources.list to go into effect
[13:44] <WDC> oh
[13:44] <Ileden> Myrtti: Ah, understandable :)
[13:44] <WDC> LjL: woot
[13:44] <LjL> atlef: low level format what? i only knew that term for pretty old hard drives
[13:44] <tavi> so noone help me whit a game problem?
[13:44] <Myrtti> Ileden: just came here because a friend asked :-P
[13:44] <Ileden> Myrtti: No problem for me, since this is my second client (I haven't yet looked up using multiple networks with irssi)
[13:44] <Jimm-> Fructose, just try using flashplugin-nonfree, run firefox in a console and see if you can get info as to why its crashing.
[13:44] <ComradeHaz> Hi all. I have a piece of software that is an IPTV 'client' for a feed here at my uni. It's windows only but I've got it working in Wine. The oly problem with it I now have is that if I have IPmasq running the client loses 'connection' to the multiccast feed.
[13:45] <atlef> LjL: my usb stick, it starts writing at the right speed then slows to a halt
[13:45] <Fructose> Jimm-: I don't think you know what you're talking about. This is a long-standing issue.
[13:45] <ComradeHaz> Anyone have any thoughts why?
[13:45] <Myrtti> Ileden: use /connect instead of /server and you'll get two networks :-P
[13:45] <LjL> atlef: you don't low level format a USB stick. you can, of course, just format it, see "man mkfs"
[13:45] <Skrux> how do I configure the host in no-ip to be the same as if I write the ip, and default to port 80 ?
[13:45] <Jimm-> Fructose, ok I just assumed because you did't define what your problem was.
[13:45] <Myrtti> Ileden: (I have six networks in my irssi)
[13:45] <ushimitsudoki> tavi: the latest versions of america's army don't support linux. that's about all i know about it. Community documentation on it here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AmericasArmy
[13:45] <atlef> LjL: well i have fornated several times, does not help
[13:46] <LjL> atlef: it really *halts*?
[13:46] <trabahuuuuu> can you help me for enable desktop effects on ubuntu 7.10
[13:46] <Fructose> Jimm-: What? I said exactly what my problem was. Firefox crashes, uninstalled a package, now no audio.
[13:46] <WDC> LjL: Okay, got the package, but when ./configureing pygtk i get configure: error: could not find Python headers
[13:46] <Ileden> Myrtti: Ok, that's easy then :) But the bigger problem is I've programmed a simple usability enhancement for irssi, and it'll probebly need some tweaking to work in multiple networks...
[13:47] <atlef> LjL: not completely, but it slows to a crawl, from ca 10mb/s to 1mb/s
[13:47] <Jimm-> Fructose, I assume if you knew why it was crashing, you wouldn't be here?
[13:47] <LjL> WDC: why are you compiling pygtk manually? (i guess you are since you're using configure). it's in the repositories.
[13:47] <WDC> LjL: What a world lol
[13:47] <WDC> LjL: What's it under?
[13:47] <Fructose> Jimm-: Then you make really bad assumptions. Just because I know that it is crashing doesn't mean I know a solution that stops crashing and gets me audio.
[13:47] <tavi> ushimitsudoki:
[13:48] <LjL> atlef: err, that's pretty normal if it's a USB 1.0, or otherwise not very performant, USB stick. the 10MB/s you see at the beginning is an illusion, it's just caching into RAM and not writing to the stick, and that's perfectly normal
[13:48] <tavi> i installed
[13:48] <tavi> putted some files
[13:48] <Ileden> Myrtti: then again, when I get it to work with multiple networks, I can release it, which would be nice... hmm, maybe I really should start working on that :)
[13:48] <tavi> but no file to click and play
[13:48] <LjL> WDC: python-gtk2 (and python-gtk2-dev if you need that too) i believe.
[13:48] <LjL> !software > WDC    (WDC, see the private message from Ubotu)
[13:48] <atlef> LjL: it is usb2 and a corsair voyager gt
[13:48] <WDC> LjL: Oh. I was trying py***
[13:48] <Myrtti> Ileden: blog about it, and the world will follow. If it's nice and usable, I'll have a look too and perhaps blog about it too
[13:49] <DawnLight> hey. how can i change the default system language? I have only english values in /etc/environment. dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't give ask me any questions, unlike in debian, which i am used to. so how does this work here?
[13:49] <atlef> LjL: and i've never had these problems before today
[13:49] <WDC> LjL: Thank god I got the .deb. SO MANY dependencies
[13:50] <ushimitsudoki> DawnLight: You can select "Language Support" from the admin menu (I think - not on GNOME, but it is there or settings if my memory serves)
[13:50] <Ileden> Myrtti: it's really simple - only pastes empty lines when there's inactivity - but it's a great and neat visualization for me :)
[13:50] <LjL> atlef: try running "sudo hdparm -Tt /dev/sdwhatever" on your usb stick and see the rates it reports, if it works
[13:50] <iljcu> is there a dutch channel of ubuntu?
[13:50] <LjL> WDC: wait, you used apt-get install, not literally "got the .deb", right?
[13:50] <atlef> LjL: will do, thanks
[13:50] <ushimitsudoki> DawnLight: You can enable complex character entry and select languages from the login screen as well after the various language support is installed
[13:50] <LjL> !nl | iljcu
[13:50] <iljcu> ty
[13:50] <WDC> LjL: Yes. But ya know. I used apt
[13:50] <Ileden> Myrtti: and blogging... well... I'd really want to have a blog or two. But I'm in the process of writing my own blog system, so maybe when that's completed :D
[13:51] <DawnLight> ushimitsudoki: i'd like to use the system's tools and not the GUI for this. I'd like to actually know what it is doing
[13:51] <Amelia_> server biling.zicom.pl
[13:51] <LjL> WDC: now that you have the ubuntu repositories properly enabled, remember to "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade" regularly, to get security updates
[13:51] <Myrtti> Ileden: tsktsk ;-)
[13:51] <Aaqil> How to switch between urdu(arabic) and english typings from the keyboard?
[13:51] <WDC> LjL: I did update
[13:51] <IntrinsicValue> Hello all.
[13:52] <LjL> WDC: "update" reads the new packages that may be available, "dist-upgrade" actually does the upgrading
[13:52] <WDC> LjL: orly. /me does
[13:52] <atlef> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51637/ is what i got
[13:52] <Ileden> Myrtti: I know, I know, that's just my crazy DIY-attitude :) I like to be in control :D
[13:53] <Myrtti> Ileden: anyway, enough of offtopic, did you have a problem?
[13:53] <Aaqil> How to switch between urdu(arabic) and english typings from the keyboard?
[13:53] <Myrtti> Aaqil: look up scim input
[13:53] <iljcu> How can i change the permission of a directory?
[13:54] <IntrinsicValue> Does anyone know if residential routers (such as Linksys) have SNMP capabilities?  I'm trying to setup MRTG for network monitoring.
[13:54] <Aaqil> Myrtti: i did all scim setup now there at upper taskbar is scim icon :D cute
[13:54] <Aaqil> Myrtti: but i dont know how to change or switch between languages where i installed urdu and english
[13:55] <ComradeHaz> hmm
[13:55] <Ileden> Myrtti: yeah. I'm dualbooting Ubuntu and Windows, and my LCD shows ubuntu's screen a few pixels to the right, or windows' few pixels to the left. autoadjust solves this, but is bothersome. What would be the approach to try and solve the problem? In other words, how to make my display adapter offset the screen position (or somesuch) in ubuntu?
[13:55] <complex_number> ubuntu can't mount /dev/sda when I try and install
[13:56] <complex_number> I can't mount my hard drive!!
[13:56] <Myrtti> Ileden: you've got 8.04.1, I assume?
[13:56] <Ileden> Myrtti: not an easy problem, I presume. :(
[13:56] <WDC> LjL: ugh! upgrade-dist is long
[13:56] <complex_number> D:
[13:56] <Ileden> Myrtti: yup
[13:56] <ComradeHaz> Ileden: do it in windows?
[13:56] <Myrtti> Ileden: and display driver and screen?
[13:56] <LjL> WDC: well, if you never upgraded before, there's certainly a lot of fixed packages to fetch now...
[13:56] <Ileden> ComradeHaz: that'd be ok too
[13:56] <ComradeHaz> nVidia?
[13:56] <ComradeHaz> It's trivial if it is
[13:57] <Ileden> ComradeHaz: but I expect ubuntu to be more configurable :)
[13:57] <ComradeHaz> maybe
[13:57] <ComradeHaz> I wouldn't know what to do
[13:57] <complex_number> why can't ubuntu mount my hard drive?
[13:57] <LjL> atlef: uhm well, that looks fast... can you also please find some big file (at least some 50 megabytes, more if you can), and copy it to your stick from the CLI, by using "time cp sourcefile destination", and give me the size and timings?
[13:57] <complex_number> it drops into a busybox terminal
[13:57] <ComradeHaz> you'll be wanting to play with X11 settings
[13:57] <complex_number> so does debian, and gentoo when I try and install
[13:57] <evil_saltine> lleden: maybe change the refresh rate in one of them, that might allow you to change the settings independently
[13:58] <Ileden> evil_saltine: ok, how do I change the refresh rate?
[13:58] <ComradeHaz> complex_number: try another kernel
[13:58] <erUSUL> !boot | complex_number have you tried some boot options?
[13:58] <ComradeHaz> yer
[13:58] <erUSUL> complex_number: all-generic-ide may help
[13:58] <ComradeHaz> try noapic no lapic etc
[13:58] <Jimm-> Fructose, no, but you asked for a specific solution giving only minimal information to work with. A little more would be helpfull
[13:58] <complex_number> I'm using a SATA hard disk
[13:59] <Ileden> Hmm.... I'll go check the display configuration tool on windows side... I'll be back soon ->
[13:59] <LjL> complex_number: can you mount it manually from the live cd?
[13:59] <evil_saltine> lleden: in ubuntu, I don't know, but I'm sure it's in the settings somewhere
[13:59] <erUSUL> complex_number: also check the conf of the sata chip on bios. do not enable raid mode (unless you have to) and set the mode to ahci if possible
[13:59] <evil_saltine> I don't know if it would work for sure anyway, just a hunch
[14:00] <complex_number> what is ahci?
[14:00] <ComradeHaz> or ide behaviour
[14:00] <erUSUL> complex_number: is a standar interface for sata chips very well supported by linux including NCQ and hotpluggin
[14:00] <ComradeHaz> best is if you can turn off anything like Jmicrons RAID
[14:00] <ComradeHaz> it 'fucks shit up'

[14:19] <FD_F> someone know site for open source printers drivers ? - i need for hp3390, thanks
[14:20] <morphriz> Is this the correct channel to ask for info on bugs/bug reporting system?
[14:20] <Aaqil> LjL: and LjL-Temp thank you both seems brothers :D thanks for help
[14:20] <Jimm-> LjL, I'll forget it, seems like a waste of time for such a stupid proprietary format :)
[14:21] <ComradeHaz> hmm
[14:22] <ComradeHaz> I'll repeat my question incase there's anyone here now that wasn't beefore that knows;
[14:22] <ComradeHaz> I have a piece of software that is an IPTV 'client' for a feed here at my uni. It's windows only but I've got it working in Wine. The oly problem with it I now have is that if I have IPmasq running the client loses 'connection' to the multiccast feed.
[14:22] <LyX-Student> haahaaha :D sry but Where is Gnome is so funny :D
[14:22] <LyX-Student> and then directed to ubotu :)
[14:24] <LjL> atlef: ... excuse me?
[14:24] <sharav> Hi everyone, I need help. I installed ubuntu 8.04 with the install inside windows option and everything was working great until now... i shut off the power to my computer while running a program that I couldn't fix the screen resolution to, and now my computer won't boot up ubuntu... whenever i try i end up in something that says grub4dos and gives me a grub> command line... can anyone help me? I would really appreciate it.
[14:24] <atlef> LjL: the command deletes the filesystem
[14:25] <Glady> .
[14:26] <LjL> atlef, "cp" really won't delete the filesystem.
[14:27] <defrysk> cp is the copy command
[14:27] <sharav> anyone have any clue what i should do?
[14:27] <atlef> LjL: well, it does here. unkown filesystem
[14:27] <atlef> defrysk: i know
[14:27] <LjL> atlef: exact command and exact output, please
[14:28] <Ileden> sharav: any symptoms inside windows?
[14:29] <Raylz> where do i get the ubuntu hardy gtk and metacity theme?
[14:29] <SxGirl> hiii
[14:29] <ompaul> atlef, in a terminal type "man cp" and then say sorry to LjL
[14:29] <sharav> Ileden: no, seems to work fine
[14:29] <sharav> i'm running vista
[14:29] <ompaul> atlef, and if you don't trust that google man cp
[14:29] <SxGirl> I have some trouble with my radeon fglrx driver
[14:29] <_Jack_Sparrow_> I can't get my TV-out to work with my geforce with nvidia drivers. I have configured my xorg.conf to include: TwinView, TwinViewOrientation, MetaModes, TVStandard, TVOutFormat, "ConnectedMonitor"      "CRT,TV"..... but it still doesn't work  :-(
[14:29] <atlef> ompaul: ?
[14:29] <SxGirl> the driver is fully installed from waht I can tell
[14:29] <atlef> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51647/
[14:30] <LyX-Student> Raylz gnome-look.org
[14:30] <ompaul> atlef, you owe LjL an apology
[14:30] <atlef> ompaul: no
[14:30] <SxGirl> it is enabled in xorg.conf
[14:30] <Jimm-> Raylz, art.gnome.org/themes/gtk2/
[14:30] <atlef> ompaul: for what
[14:30] <SxGirl> but fglrxinfo says it's still mesa
[14:30] <SxGirl> can anyone help out?
[14:30] <ompaul> atlef, for "<atlef> LjL: the command deletes the filesystem"
[14:30] <erUSUL> atlef: why on earth are you overwirtting a device node????!!!!!!!!
[14:30] <SxGirl> also
[14:30] <SxGirl> sudo aticonfig --initial
[14:30] <SxGirl> Found fglrx primary device section
[14:30] <SxGirl> Nothing to do, terminating.
[14:30] <FloodBot3> SxGirl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:30] <SxGirl> sorry
[14:31] <LjL> atlef: well, for claiming i've tried to delete your filesystem... but cp really doesn't delete a filesystem, anyway, no need to apologize, but it just doesn't delete the filesystem
[14:31] <SxGirl> Of course CP deletes a filesystem
[14:31] <Raylz> LyX-Student: Jimm-: im running gentoo and id like the hardy theme^^ the one thats used in the standard install
[14:31] <atlef> LjL: oh, i just stated what happened, not trying to blame anyone
[14:31] <Ileden> sharav: could be the grub booter is messed up, could be the complete ubuntu filesystem is somehow broken... hopefully someone can point you to right direction.
[14:31] <erUSUL> LjL: well if you do this sudo time cp koss_gjoer_me_det_ep01.wav.zip /dev/sdi2
[14:32] <legend2440> SxGirl: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Hardy_Installation_Guide#Removing_Mesa_drivers
[14:32] <erUSUL> LjL: like he/she did you destroy the filesystem in /dev/sdi2 ...
[14:32] <SxGirl> ok let me try removing them legend2440
[14:32] <Jimm-> Raylz, I think it's just called human, try gnome-look.org
[14:32] <LjL> yes indeed
[14:32] <Ileden> sharav: hope you get it fixed!
[14:32] <sharav> Ileden: thanks, is there anywhere you suggest i ask? I tried looking online for help... didn't find any solutions
[14:32] <Jimm-> SxGirl, what card do you have?
[14:32] <erUSUL> LjL: so yes cp on the wrong hands is a WOMD XD
[14:33] <SxGirl> legend2440, Package xserver-xgl is not installed, so not removed
[14:33] <SxGirl> Jimm-, radeon 4850 :)
[14:33] <SxGirl> HD
[14:33] <atlef> [14:57:24] <LjL> atlef: uhm well, that looks fast... can you also please find some big file (at least some 50 megabytes, more if you can), and copy it to your stick from the CLI, by using "time cp sourcefile destination", and give me the size and timings? this is what you said
[14:33] <LjL> atlef, unmount that usb stick immediately, "sudo umount /dev/sdi"
[14:33] <SxGirl> legend2440, that's what apt spits out
[14:33] <Ileden> sharav: this would be the right place. I think trying to somehow reinstall grub might be the right approach - at least that makes sure grub is ok, and problem is wiht the ubuntu filesystem (which is not what I'm hoping, though)
[14:33] <LjL> atlef: yes, but the destination shouldn't have been /dev
[14:33] <Jimm-> !ati | SxGirl
[14:33] <LjL> atlef: anyway, unmount that thing
[14:34] <atlef> LjL: so it needs to be unmounted, ok
[14:34] <Ileden> sharav: if nobody else answers, try asking again after some time
[14:34] <LjL> atlef: it needs to be unmounted if you want to have some hope of saving anything that was in it
[14:34] <sharav> Ileden: do you know how i reinstall grub? or is there a way to launch ubuntu from the command line?
[14:34] <SxGirl> What I already told you what card it was Jimm-
[14:34] <LyX-Student> Raylz: http://www.gnome-look.org/ search for hardy and you'll find it
[14:34] <SxGirl> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 9442
[14:34] <atlef> LjL: i dont need to save anything, it was empty
[14:34] <SxGirl> But I know its a radeon 4850 :P
[14:35] <sharav> Ileden: alright, thanks again
[14:35] <Jimm-> SxGirl, sorry have you already read that?
[14:35] <LjL> atlef: good thing that. anyway, when you're copying a *file* to some drive, you need to specify the *path where it's mounted*, which in that case would probably be /media/sdi or something. not /dev/sdi, because that means writing *raw* to the drive
[14:35] <erUSUL> !grub > Ileden
[14:35] <Ileden> sharav: sorry, not wiht enough detail. there should be a way to try boot up linux from the grub command line
[14:36] <Sarmento>
[14:36] <Sarmento> Good morning, everybody!
[14:36] <LjL> atlef: i guess i could have specified that, i'm sorry about that, but really, next time be very careful with doing anything that involves "sudo" and "/dev"
[14:36] <atlef> LjL: ok, i did not know that, will try now
[14:36] <Sarmento> I want to take a doubt
[14:36] <atlef> LjL: no problem
[14:36] <LjL> atlef: is there a reason why you used sudo to begin with? (i see now that the "sudo" is the reason why i didn't recognize the "time" output)
[14:36] <SxGirl> ya Jimm-
[14:36] <SxGirl> I was reading this actually https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[14:37] <Jimm-> SxGirl, ohh :( , sorry I gotta go
[14:37] <SxGirl> later
[14:37] <feistel> hi
[14:37] <sharav> how do i find out where the ubuntu kernel thing is located?
[14:37] <feistel> I need help installing Dapper on PowerBook
[14:37] <SxGirl> Something funny:  sudo aticonfig --initial Found fglrx primary device section
[14:37] <SxGirl> Nothing to do, terminating.
[14:37] <feistel> UBUNTU 6 have a text-based installer?
[14:37] <jrib> !alternate | feistel
[14:37] <atlef> LjL: i think it gave me a permission denied, not sure
[14:38] <Sarmento> What could help mi /?
[14:38] <erUSUL> !alternate > feistel
[14:38] <erUSUL> !ask | Sarmento
[14:38] <atlef> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51650/ is what i get. and no sudo this time
[14:38] <SxGirl> Is there a way to run a login prompt instead of the gnome login on startup?
[14:38] <LjL> atlef: well, it would do that, if you use /dev, but not if you use the right place. don't use sudo lightly, ask first
[14:38] <ricosecada> What exactly does the apt script in cron-daily do?
[14:39] <erUSUL> SxGirl: boot into recovery mode
[14:39] <LjL> atlef: but have you reformatted the drive, now? it's all been messed up by copying into /dev
[14:39] <SxGirl> erUSUL, I want to disable it permnantly
[14:39] <siriusnova> oh yeah i just installed ubuntu and im getting gpg key warnings, anyone know why?
[14:39] <erUSUL> ricosecada: launch the tasks in /etc/cron.daily/ ??
[14:39] <Sarmento>
[14:39] <Sarmento> I am trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 on my computer, but I am in doubt on how to proceed
[14:39] <siriusnova> gpg key warnings for updating ports
[14:39] <SxGirl> I'm too used to Slackware's ways ^__^
[14:39] <atlef> LjL: yes. ext3
[14:39] <SxGirl> can I just uninstall gdm?
[14:39] <erUSUL> SxGirl: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[14:39] <ompaul> !install | Sarmento
[14:40] <SxGirl> thanks erUSUL
[14:40] <Sarmento>
[14:40] <Sarmento> My computer has three (03) partitions, (File, WindosXP, Ubuntu 7.10)
[14:40] <SxGirl> This means I have to startx too right?
[14:40] <erUSUL> SxGirl: no problem
[14:40] <ricosecada> erUSUL, how very funny
[14:40] <erUSUL> SxGirl: indeed
[14:40] <SxGirl> ok great :P
[14:40] <grey488> SxGirl: edit the runlevel configuration to 3
[14:40] <SxGirl> one more question
[14:40] <SxGirl> I have a .fon, is there a way to configure grub and the commandline to use it?
[14:41] <LjL> atlef: well, it took even less to write the file than last time... but i still believe it's doing a cached write. type "time sudo sync" now and see how long it takes ("sync" is a command that forces the system to write out everything it has pending)
[14:41] <erUSUL> grey488: no inittab on ubuntu also in debian/ubuntu runlevels has no meaning
[14:41] <erUSUL> !upstart | grey488
[14:41] <Sarmento> The doubt is that I am wanting to format the partition of Ubuntu 7.10 in place and install the Ubuntu 8.04 and I am in doubt!
[14:41] <erUSUL> SxGirl: grub do not think so. for console there is consolechars command iirc
[14:42] <atlef> LjL:  real    0m4.269s
[14:42] <SxGirl> erUSUL, ok how do I use it :P

[14:42] <Sarmento> You can help me?
[14:42] <kebomix> hello . i need link for Vmware workstation 5 for linux
[14:42] <LjL> atlef: ah, now that sounds more like it. 4.2 seconds to copy 78 megabytes, that's 18 megabytes a second, it still doesn't sound that bad at all...
[14:42] <LjL> for a usb stick
[14:42] <grey488> erUSUL: ah, confused with so other distro.
[14:43] <ompaul> Sarmento, (A) please keep it all on one line and (B) I am about to get the bot to send you a message read it and then say what exactly is the problem
[14:43] <ompaul> !install > Sarmento
[14:43] <erUSUL> SxGirl: well you are a slackware user just "man consolechars" ;P iirc is "sudo consolechars -f fontfile"
[14:43] <atlef> LjL: that is what i do not understand. could it be "depleted"
[14:43] <SxGirl> hehe ok
[14:43] <SxGirl> I didnt know what it was called
[14:43] <LjL> atlef: what do you mean depleted?
[14:44] <defrysk> -p
[14:44] <defrysk> i guess
[14:44] <atlef> LjL: hehe, well they say you can only write x times to a stick
[14:44] <lovinglinux> Hi. Does someone know how to download Gmail attachments using wget?
[14:44] <LjL> atlef: oh, but well, when that happens, it simply stops working
[14:44] <Jeremy23> Off the top of their head, can anyone tell me what is the Metacity theme in this URL?
[14:44] <Jeremy23> http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/56438-1.png
[14:44] <LjL> atlef: (or, with modern sticks, it silently just stops using one sector)
[14:44] <Jeremy23> It used to ship with Ubuntu, but not now.
[14:45] <erUSUL> atlef: that's why a journaled fs like ext3 is a bad idea for a usb stick i would use ext2 or fat for flash disks
[14:45] <atlef> LjL: i thought so to
[14:45] <SxGirl> ok brb
[14:45] <grey488> erUSUL: why inittab isn't supported anymore on ubuntu?
[14:46] <DawnLight> hey. how can i change the default system language? I have only english values in /etc/environment. dpkg-reconfigure locales doesn't give ask me any questions, unlike in debian, which i am used to. so how does this work here? i'd like to know how to do this without GUIs, please
[14:46] <erUSUL> grey488: becouse ubuntu uses upstart not "System V" init system
[14:46] <atlef> erUSUL: well had ext2 not 3, typo. sorry
[14:46] <dani> hello
[14:47] <erUSUL> grey488: but anyway as i said even before the switch to upstart runlevels have no menaning for ubuntu all where the same (except 0 1 and 6 of course)
[14:47] <grey488> erUSUL: so that's the equivalent config file of inittab
[14:47] <koala_man> how are you supposed to use libgtk2.0-0-dbg? I get /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.1200.9 but not /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so so I can't specify CFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib
[14:47] <Guest33790> how can 1 set variables like PATH so the change is seen on the whole system?
[14:47] <erUSUL> grey488: there is none files under /etc/event.d/ have taken the role of inittab
[14:47] <LjL> atlef: but anyway i don't understand why now the file seemed to get copied pretty fast
[14:47] <atlef> LjL: all of this brings me back to lowlevelformat, as i thought would maybe fix it. but not sure
[14:48] <Ketobi> hi all, during the last update libc6 went broken, what can i do to resolve this issue? apt-get -f upgrade doesn't work
[14:48] <erUSUL> Guest33790: /etc/skel/* and /etc/bash.bashrc and /etc/profile.d/ ???
[14:48] <Jeremy23> /msg ubottu etiquette
[14:48] <atlef> LjL: but whencopying larger files it slows to a crawl
[14:48] <feistel> how I can boot the text-based installer from normal live cd?
[14:48] <Guest33790> /etc/skel/ is not the new user skeleton files directory?
[14:49] <atlef> feistel: i think you need the alternate cd
[14:49] <sharav> Hope its not too early to repost: I installed ubuntu 8.04 with the install inside windows option and everything was working great until now... i shut off the power to my computer while running a program that I couldn't fix the screen resolution to, and now my computer won't boot up ubuntu... whenever i try i end up in something that says grub4dos and gives me a grub> command line... can anyone help me? I would really appreciate i
[14:49] <erUSUL> Guest33790: right
[14:49] <LjL> atlef: i do believe there's no such thing as a low level format for a usb stick... and if i'm wrong, i still think the only place you might find a tool to do that is the manufacturer's site
[14:49] <atlef> LjL: ok
[14:49] <Jeremy23> Seriously, guys, it takes 5 seconds to look. Does anybody know this Metacity theme?
[14:49] <Jeremy23> http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/56438-1.png
[14:49] <atlef> LjL: thank you for the help
[14:50] <Guest33790> erUSUL: Is /etc/bash.bashrc the settings file of the logon bash?
[14:50] <koala_man> Jeremy23: I sure don't.
[14:50] <LyX-Student> Jeremy23: you can read right? did you look at the right bottom corner?
[14:50] <LjL> atlef: well, please do try with an even larger file, but still using cp. actually, use « time cp filename /media/whatever ; time sudo sync » (/media/whatever being your drive's mount point!)
[14:51] <Jeremy23> LyX-Student: that's the GTK theme, not the metacity theme
[14:51] <atlef> LjL: was about to
[14:51] <Jeremy23> the metacity theme used to ship with Ubuntu
[14:51] <Jeremy23> and I used to use it
[14:51] <Jeremy23> but I can't remember it's name
[14:51] <Jeremy23> *its
[14:51] <erUSUL> Guest33790: no .profile is .bashrc is read for every bash executed... anyway one source the other or viceversa so the difference is somewhat moot
[14:51] <sivanicon> anyone know the version of nvidia drivers by default on 8.04?
[14:52] <erUSUL> sivanicon: nvida-new --> 169
[14:52] <Guest33790> umm but .bashrc is different for every user
[14:52] <Jeremy23> sivianicon: nvidia-glx-new is 169.12
[14:53] <ntesla0> looking for a channel for gddrescue any one know where i can get help or a good page to read
[14:53] <Xenocide> Hiya, can somone help me with connecting to a wireless network (wep encryption) on hardy server (no gui's!) I can't seem to find any docs anywhere on the commands for doing it :(
[14:53] <sivanicon> erUSUL: thanks
[14:53] <Glady> what a nick
[14:53] <koala_man> Xenocide: man iwconfig
[14:53] <linduxed> hey guys, i was thinking of gettig a high-end laptop, and i was wondering if its still the same old "go with NVidia" or if ATI has shaped up.
[14:53] <grey488> erUSUL: is there a release of ubuntu 8.04 server that have a smp kernel?
[14:54] <Xenocide> koala_man: You can do it all using iwconfig like you can with ifconfig for eth connections?
[14:54] <erUSUL> Xenocide: iwconfig and iwlist for doing it from command line... interfaces file for soing it semi automated (man interfaces)
[14:54] <atlef> LjL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/51653/ this is a 350mb file. still looks good
[14:54] <Xenocide> Awesome, thanks guys. :)
[14:54] <koala_man> linduxed: ATI released specs and there are some preliminary free drivers for it
[14:54] <Jack_J> hello.
[14:54] <sharav> n e one?
[14:54] <erUSUL> !generic | grey488 all kernels of ubuntu are smp capable
[14:54] <koala_man> Xenocide: no, you still use ifconfig or dhclient, but the essid&wep is all iwconfig
[14:55] <LjL> atlef: yes, it's pretty consistent with the estimate of 18 mb/s of before... i don't know what to think, it'd seem strange to me that it's just when copying from GNOME that things freeze up, but it would seem it's that way...
[14:55] <Jack_J> on a VM in sun xvm virtualbox assigned 100mB ram it is installing slow - alternate installer used
[14:55] <LjL> atlef: or, possibly, there is indeed some sector on the flash drive that's broken, and when you hit that sector while writing, the I/O system retries a number of times
[14:56] <Xenocide> cheers koala_man!
[14:56] <LjL> atlef: you could "dd" the entire drive, from a linux terminal maybe (so you should see I/O errors directly), and see if that's the case... perhaps
[14:56] <cdavis> I somehow broke mail so that I can't even get it to deliver locally to myself? I uninstalled postfix and don't know where to look now. Where is the mail going?
[14:56] <Jack_J> virtualbox additions available
[14:56] <Jack_J> for this os
[14:57] <jrib> Jack_J: yeah, same as the other OS, Devices -> Install Guest Additions in vbox menu
[14:57] <atlef> LjL: but this only happens on my eee, with eeebuntu and not on my desktop. but the problem started today
[14:57] <ntesla0> Is there a gddrescue chat room anywhere on freenode thanks
[14:57] <cdavis> nothing ever shows up in /var/spool/mail
[14:57] <atlef> LjL: will try to repeat the steps on the eee
[14:57] <grey488> erUSUL: i tried installing ubuntu 8.04 server but my pc freezes, but when i tried to install ubuntu 8.04 desktop it worked fine?
[14:58] <erUSUL> grey488: well server and desktop kernels are indeed different so may be a server kernel bug...
[14:58] <linduxed> koala_man: but that doesnt mean theyre good...
[14:58] <Carantushy> ola
[14:58] <Carantushy> hay algun español??
[14:59] <erUSUL> grey488: you can install all server packages on the dektop edition of ubuntu so just keep that
[14:59] <erUSUL> !es | Carantushy
[14:59] <grey488> erUSUL: is there anyway i could install ubuntu server
[14:59] <koala_man> linduxed: sure beats the free drivers for nvidia
