[19:59] <Guest13763> markit my bad i miss read that it should write a file echoing "running" in my home dir
[19:59] <oliver_> .
[19:59] <Jordan_U> Roasted_: You can install codecs in the live environment, you can also use the example media files.
[19:59] <Guest13763> markit brb
[19:59] <maco> Roasted_: aplay /usr/share/sound/alsa/Front_Center.wav
[19:59] <Roasted_> Jordan_U, what codecs do I need? restricted extras isnt installable on livecd.
[20:00] <maco> Roasted_: also, um... speaker-test
[20:00] <maco> Roasted_: speaker-test makes white noise come out of each speaker, one at a time
[20:00] <bergLNX> whats the command for loging out?
[20:00] <iceroot> bergLNX: exit or logout
[20:00] <maco> bergLNX: in a terminal or gui?
[20:00] <bergLNX> maco: terminal
[20:01] <maco> Roasted_: and yes you can install restricted extras on a live cd
[20:01] <Jordan_U> Roasted_: Enable universe first. But for just testing sound it's easier to use the example sound files that come on the LiveCD.
[20:01] <samoy2002> where does apache put the httpd.conf when installed from gui, i found the one in /etc/apache2 but its blank
[20:01] <maco> bergLNX: then what iceroot said
[20:01] <Roasted_> Jordan_U, example worked. thanks
[20:01] <bergLNX> :)
[20:01] <Roasted_> maco, not from software center.
[20:01] <Roasted_> maco, its not selectable to install.
[20:01] <Jordan_U> Roasted_: You're welcome.
[20:01] <iceroot> samoy2002: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[20:01] <the_file> omfg I am trying to mount ubuntu 10.04 on a usb hdd
[20:01] <maco> samoy2002: you want apache2.conf in that dir
[20:01] <samoy2002> ahhh, thank you
[20:01] <maco> Roasted_: probably need to enable restricted and multiverse in sources.list
[20:01] <Roasted_> maco, hold that thought. missing a repo.
[20:01] <the_file> trying to make my usb hdd live with a universal usb installer but it says autorun.inf could not be somehint your usb device won't be bootable !!!!!!!!!!!!!
[20:01] <oCean_> the_file: watch your language please
[20:02] <Roasted_> maco, yeah, i just enabled it in software sources just now
[20:02] <bergLNX> iceroot: exit just close the terminal, and logout just tells me to type exit :P
[20:02] <samoy2002> never done this from gui before, normally done it from the command line, guess it sets itself up differently
[20:02] <Roasted_> maco, theeeeeeeere we wgo
[20:02] <maco> bergLNX: ok so you wanted for in a gui
[20:02] <iceroot> bergLNX: yes, exit is logging out from the terminal
[20:02] <the_file> can anyone help me making my usb hdd have ubuntu 10.04 live?.
[20:02] <maco> bergLNX: sudo service gdm restart <-- thatd do it
[20:02] <bergLNX> oh, lol
[20:02] <coordinador> ok, i tried everyting... help pls, i have a problem, vino didnt report to avahi so vinagre cannot find vnc server connections on my network
[20:02] <maco> Roasted_: but really....there are example wav's included that'd work to test sound...like i said above
[20:03] <bergLNX> ah thanks :)
[20:03] <iceroot> coordinador: what?
[20:03] <realopty2> someone name a simple fast easy proxy for ubuntu?
[20:03] <iceroot> realopty2: squid
[20:03] <maco> realopty2: uhh socks proxy?
[20:03] <maco> realopty2: all you need is a server and an ssh connection to it
[20:04] <realopty2> hmmmm
[20:04] <Roasted_> maco, yeah, they worked fine. I was just confused over how you said restricted extras was installable yet it wasnt for me - but it was just that repo. its all good now
[20:04] <realopty2> maco explain more
[20:04]  * realopty2 has ssh server
[20:04]  * realopty2 has ubuntu on both machines
[20:04] <iceroot> realopty2: please no /me
[20:05] <coordinador> iceroot, my vinagre (vnc client) cannot automatically find the vino (vnc server) server available in my network, possibly vino server is not reporting its presence to avahi
[20:05] <maco> realopty2: well say you want to have firefox traffic go through a socks proxy. you just ssh to a server and bind the connection to a port locally. like "ssh -D 9999 user@server" then in firefox, go to the network settings and choose to use a SOCKSv5 proxy with "localhost" as the host and 9999 as the port
[20:05] <coordinador> this is kind of urgent because we use the system in a classroom
[20:05] <maco> realopty2: then all your web traffic will route through your server
[20:06] <maco> realopty2: for apps that dont know how to do socks proxies on their own, have a look at tsocks
[20:06] <^Jay2^> how can i make a script and run it?
[20:07] <maco> realopty2: its a wrapper to make them go
[20:07] <adam___> hi, i've to build a computer for record from a camcorder, stream the video and maybe also doing some postproduction on what's been recorded... the same pc while recording will also control presentation slide, browsers and stuff like that...... can i use ubuntu for all of this? (my worry is about the streaming / recording part... as i don't know if there are good tools for that....... ideally will be done screencasts too, and i'm worrie
[20:07] <violinappren> coordinador: firewall blocking announcement ?
[20:07] <coordinador> iceroot, i've search in internet but i really cannot find a solution, i can watch users's screen with localhost:5900, 5901, etc..
[20:07] <realopty2> maco ty
[20:07] <^Jay2^> !bash
[20:07] <iceroot> coordinador: never used a setup like that, sorry
[20:07] <ascheel> adam___: yes Ubuntu will be able to handle all of that.
[20:08] <coordinador> violinappren, dont think so because, as i said i can see the other users'screen putting localhost:5900,5901,etc..
[20:08] <Guest13763> markit thanks... I found the issue and it was a typo in the script not the crontab ... thanks for the help anyway... I guess I should have had that extra cup of job after all
[20:08] <violinappren> coordinador: is the avahi daemon accessible behind a firewall ? not the VNC server
[20:08] <adam___> ascheel: what do you suggest for video recording, post production, streaming and screencasts? (something visual which could be used by normal people.. :) )
[20:09] <coordinador> violinappren, i think i dont have firewall, how can i check that, since i only have a server and the users connect to it
[20:09] <^Jay2^> how can i know the color legends when i do LS ?
[20:09] <ascheel> adam___: for recording, something as simple as VLC will work.  For post production, perhaps OpenShot.  Streaming and screencasts?  You got me.
[20:09] <violinappren> adam___: I'm not sure about recording from a camcorder (i guess that depends on the hardware and drivers) but you could use http://alternativesto.net for software
[20:09] <ascheel> violinappren: Ubuntu would be just fine for recording from a camcorder.  Easy stuff.
[20:10] <coordinador> violinappren, this is a ltsp server, but the ltsp people ensured me that its not an ltsp issue since everything runs in the server
[20:10] <silent1mezzo> Hey Guys, I'm trying to install ubuntu server and I keep getting 'No disk drive was detected'.  When I'm in my bios I can see both drives
[20:10] <silent1mezzo> Trying to install 10.4
[20:10] <violinappren> coordinador: i suggest you use tcpdump to watch sent and received packages
[20:11] <realopty2> maco... ur a ubuntu pimp
[20:11] <ascheel> silent1mezzo: has it been formatted?  You probably have to set up the partitions.
[20:11] <coordinador> violinappren, ill check
[20:11] <^peanut^> coordinador: you can use Wireshark (gui to tcpdump) which might help a bit too
[20:11] <silent1mezzo> ascheel: can I do that from Ubuntu or does that need to be done before?
[20:13] <Milkkk> dagny_taggart: íslensk ?
[20:13] <coordinador> violinappren, ^peanut^, somebody told me that i could use avahi- some
[20:13] <^Jay2^> is the .sh in ubuntu the equal of .bat in windows?
[20:13] <^peanut^> coordinador: use avahi for?
[20:13] <^peanut^> coordinador: sniffing network traffic?
[20:14] <^peanut^> ^Jay2^: yes kinda. .sh stands for shell script .pl would be a perl script.. etc. etc.
[20:14] <coordinador> ^peanut^, because this way i could check if vino-server is reporting its presence to avahi, so vinagre could find in network, the conclusion was that vino-server was not reporting its presence to avahi. This happened suddenly
[20:14] <Milkkk> can anyone help me with a boot up problem... im not sure what the problem is.
[20:14] <^peanut^> coordinador: ah ok...hmm, yeah I guess you can do that.
[20:14] <^peanut^> coordinador: sounds good anyway
[20:15] <^Jay2^> ^peanut^: so i can just make my own .sh and create some simple batch ?
[20:15] <violinappren> coordinador: you could watch packets while vino is being started
[20:15] <_6i_AFK> hi, can anyone tell any tips why bookmark syncing in firefox through ubuntuone is not working
[20:15] <_6i_AFK> i'm logged into ubuntuone (file are synced allright), bookmark syncing is on, and i have bindwood installed in firefox and enabled, yet the bookmarks don' get synced
[20:15] <_6i_AFK> on ubuntuone, i was asked to register the computer (probably for file sharing), but for tomboy-notes syncing i was asked again separately - i didn't got asked for bookmarks however..
[20:15] <FloodBot2> _6i_AFK: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:16] <erUSUL>  ^Jay2^ dircolors --print-database | less
[20:16] <coordinador> violinappren, ok.... hmmm..
[20:16] <^peanut^> ^Jay2^: well, no. you would want to understand the "bash" scripting lang. but in a sense, yes.
[20:17] <violinappren> marienz: it's you!
[20:17] <^Jay2^> ^peanut^: I am going to test this one out first before asking any questions further
[20:17] <marienz> violinappren: indeed it is.
[20:17] <^peanut^> ^Jay2^: ok... =)
[20:17] <zus> i just did and update and it modified the grubconf file,  do i keep the default window that pops open?
[20:18] <coordinador> is there a way to watch another user's screen specifying the user
[20:18] <^peanut^> coordinador: use "screen"
[20:18] <^peanut^> !screen
[20:18] <zus> to keep the local version?
[20:18] <coordinador> oh
[20:18] <coordinador> ok
[20:18] <coordinador> ill check
[20:18] <^peanut^> it's sweet
[20:19] <coordinador> it says "There is no screen to be attached matching user" , do i have to make an extra step to use it?
[20:19] <^peanut^> !screen > coordinador
[20:19] <coordinador> i used screen -x user
[20:19] <^peanut^> brb
[20:20] <coordinador> thank you
[20:20] <_6i_AFK> anyone got bookmark-sharing in ubuntuone?..
[20:20] <samoy2002> phpmyadmin installed nice, but now i cannot login, what is default login
[20:21] <Milkkk> can someone help me with a boot up problem.. when i boot up it says home directory /etc/timidity not ours. than stops
[20:21] <coordinador> how can i specify the domain of my machine?
[20:21] <ManDay> Does anyone know a very much lightweight Calendar App which floats on the desktop and supports appointments?
[20:21] <erUSUL> !hostname
[20:21] <s3r3n1t7> samoy2002, it should use the same login data you use for your mysql server.
[20:22] <coordinador> since i use Vinagre, i specify the domain as 'local' but it cant find any vino-server connection on it
[20:23] <webPragmatist> can i make grep echo the file…
[20:23] <coordinador> ^peanut^, i use avahi-browse -ta   it says nothing related to vnc, only "Workstation"
[20:23] <webPragmatist> I have something like find . -name "*.php" -exec grep "Mail_mimeDecode*" {} \;
[20:23] <webPragmatist> it echos the contents but i have no clue what files it is in
[20:23] <s3r3n1t7> webPragmatist, use -l
[20:23] <s3r3n1t7> webPragmatist, or the long version, --files-with-matches
[20:24] <^Jay2^> if i want my .sh file to be executed anywhere in the terminal. what command should i put in?
[20:24] <erUSUL> ^Jay2^: you should put it somewhere in your path
[20:24] <webPragmatist> oh okay instead of using find?
[20:24] <^Jay2^> erUSUL: how do i go on doing that?
[20:24] <erUSUL> webPragmatist: no add that option to grep
[20:24] <webPragmatist> oh wait i see...
[20:24] <edoceo> !file add-apt-repository
[20:24] <webPragmatist> okaay thanks
[20:24] <s3r3n1t7> webPragmatist, no, you're using grep in the find command. Add that option to grep
[20:24] <countly> does anyone know if ubuntu server is hard to install
[20:25] <edoceo> countly: it's very easy
[20:25] <erUSUL> ^Jay2^: put it in ~/bin/ ( for your use only) or in /usr/local/bin/
[20:25] <s3r3n1t7> ^Jay2^, add it to your path. Recommending that you do make a seperate folder for it and add that folder to it, then you can add it for your user in .bashrc.
[20:25] <countly> cool
[20:25] <s3r3n1t7> erUSUL, is ~/bin in path by default? (just curious now)
[20:25] <Milkkk> -can someone help me with a boot up problem.. when i boot up it says home directory /etc/timidity not ours. than stops
[20:25] <Milkkk> '
[20:25] <edoceo> Which package has add-apt-repository ?  ubuttu don't know
[20:25] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, can you type me out the entire error message? It should give you some more information then just that.
[20:26] <markit> Guest13763: you are welcome (was away)
[20:26] <^Jay2^> err s3r3n1t7 where can i edit .bashrc
[20:26] <trism> edoceo: python-software-properties
[20:26] <pipeep> Anybody seen this yet? http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/07/23/178221/BSOD-Issues-On-Deepwater-Horizon
[20:26] <erUSUL> s3r3n1t7: .bashrc adds it if it exist (or profile); if [ -e ~/bin/ ], then ....; fi
[20:26] <s3r3n1t7> edoceo, python-software-properties
[20:26] <s3r3n1t7> erUSUL, cool, didn't know. Cheers for the info
[20:26] <bellona> how to add web user? when i create it as -s /bin/false, i could not connect to my web dir on ftp? what am i missing?
[20:26] <edoceo> trism: s3r3n1t7 - thx!
[20:27] <zxs> could someone lend a hand in getting 3 monitors setup on 10.04 - ati 4xxx x2 cards
[20:27] <pil> Jordan_U: still there?
[20:27] <^Jay2^> s3r3n1t7: i've seen the .bashrc but i dont understand what's inside it after opening it in gedit
[20:27] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: doesnt really give me an error.. just says checking battery state ok. starting timidity++ alsa midi emulatio ok. starting webcamstuio kernel module webcam studio ok. then home directory /etc/timidity not ours than ok than just a blinking thing
[20:27] <erUSUL> ^Jay2^: you do not need to edit bashrc...
[20:27] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, /etc/timidity isn't a home dir ... or well it shouldn't be ...
[20:28] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: i know
[20:28] <ManDay> The situation is the following: I want to compile a kernel for use with micro core linux (or anything else, just saying) and I want it to support my very much uncommon WIFI UBS stick. I've got no clue that driver would be required for it to support that stick but I know that it works on my current Ubuntu install - what do I need to do to figure out WHAT KERNEL OPTION and what driver is required?
[20:28] <^Jay2^> erUSUL: i just put my .sh in .bashrc ?
[20:28] <erUSUL> s3r3n1t7: could be for the tymidity midi daemon ... ?
[20:28] <s3r3n1t7> ^Jay2^, as erUSUL just explained to me (didn't know earlier) is that you do not need to edit it. Just create a bin folder (a folder named bin) in your home dir and place the .sh (with exec rights) in that folder.
[20:28] <erUSUL> ^Jay2^: no as i explained either in ~/bin/ or in /usr/local/bin/
[20:28] <bellona> how to add web user? when i create it as -s /bin/false, i could not connect to my web dir on ftp? what am i missing?
[20:29] <Mead> Hello, I am having a problem trying to do something.  What I am trying to do: extract a .tgz file onto a ext2 partition I have created on a SD card.  While I could extract another tgz file into a fat32 partition, when I try to extract into the EXT2 partition I get a permissions error.   I am using a ubuntu live 9.10, as in I am running it off the CD not touching my harddrive.
[20:29] <s3r3n1t7> erUSUL, i don't see the use of having a home dir there, but that's just me. Let me just check that really quickly ...
[20:29] <pil> I've lost the disk that contained the /boot directory of a 9.10 installation, can anybody help me rebuild it?
[20:29] <^Jay2^> erUSUL: thanks :D s3r3n1t7 thanks too!
[20:29] <erUSUL> ^Jay2^: for the later you need sudo and it will be aviable to all users. if you put it in your home bin folder it will be only aviable to you
[20:30] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: any ideas ?
[20:30] <^Jay2^> got it
[20:30] <pathogen> is anybody else having a problem with the lucid-updates linux-image-virtual package?
[20:30] <erUSUL> pil: reinstall grub and the kernels ?
[20:30] <pil> done that
[20:30] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, Personally i've never worked with timidity so i'll need to do some checking on it. Right now it doesn't work, correct? And the error only states that the home dir isn't ours?
[20:30] <patx> how can i get a manifest of install programs?
[20:31] <pathogen> it appears that the linux-image-2.6.32-24-virtual package isn't there
[20:31] <erUSUL> pil: and it didn't worked out?
[20:31] <pil> erUSUL: it boots to a text-mode login screen instead of previous gdm
[20:31] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: yes
[20:31] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: but timidity is just a midi emulator and hasnt given me any problems
[20:31] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: until now suddenly
[20:31] <Jordan_U> pil: What happens if you log in and run "sudo service gdm start"?
[20:31] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, what exactly happens? (or rather, doesn't? )
[20:32] <IdleOne> !clone | patx
[20:32] <erUSUL> pil: checked grub configuration ? maybe you are booting into recovery mode ?
[20:32] <axisys> how do I move the menu buttons like close/min/max to the right like it used to be ? do I change it in simple-ccsm or some where else ? i could not find a theme that would do it.. may be i did not look enough
[20:32] <erUSUL> !controls
[20:32] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, and what would you expect to happen (or not? )
[20:32] <axisys> erUSUL: thanks
[20:32] <pil> esUSUL: how do I check that?
[20:32] <IdleOne> patx: the above command will give you a text file of all the installed apps on your machine
[20:32] <patx> IdleOne, ok thanks
[20:33] <erUSUL> pil: can you see the grub menu ?
[20:33] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: ubuntu doesnt boot up
[20:33] <hybridvigour> greetings all, any lubuntu users/developers here?
[20:33] <pil> esUSUL: only when I keep shift pressed when booting
[20:33] <trism> ManDay: use lsmod to figure out what the module is called, and search for it with / in make menuconfig (or if that doesn't work, grep for it in the source tree)
[20:33] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, like not at all? That doesn't sound like it could happen just because of this ... I'll do some googling around, hold on.
[20:33]  * Mead waits in line
[20:33] <erUSUL> pil: that's normal. and you chhose a normal option fior booting ?
[20:33] <^Jay2^> how can i make a basic script of multiple choice?
[20:33] <pil> erUSUL: yes
[20:34] <IdleOne> Mead: use sudo command
[20:34] <dean> hi when i do sudo update-grub it doesnt update and wont let me boot windows
[20:34] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: i know but this is the only thing i see that could possibly be the cause
[20:34] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, do you happen to have an SSH server installed and if so, are you able to get in via there? I would like to take a look at the output of dmesg if possible.
[20:34] <erUSUL> pil: tried Jordan_U suggestion =? manaully running gdm ? it fails ?

[20:35] <bastid_raZor> ^Jay2^: http://pastebin.com/HnuaxiGw  an example
[20:35] <wonderllama> question about login screen.  how do i configure the latest ubuntu to /not/ show the list of possible user names? -- thx
[20:35] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, do you have an SSH server currently installed and do you have another computer or laptop? (google tells me just about nothing about a situation of a failure to boot with timidity)
[20:36] <dean> can anyone help me
[20:36] <pil> after thatm the boot process hangs on the bootsplash screen
[20:36] <pil> the one with the small white ubuntu logo in the center
[20:36] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: im not sure about the ssh server. i have this computer macbook pro
[20:37] <SandGorgon> when I use curl -LO to download a file (for example http://pl2.php.net/get/php-5.2.13.tar.gz/from/pl.php.net/mirror), it names the file "mirror". How do I get it to name it php-5.2.13.tar.gz
[20:37] <Mead> Hello, I am having a problem getting something done with Ubuntu.  What I am trying to do: extract a .tgz file onto a ext2 partition I have created on a SD card.  I can extract into a fat32 partition, when I try to extract into the EXT2 partition I get a permissions error.   I am using a ubuntu live 9.10, as in I am running it off the CD not touching my harddrive.
[20:37] <ManDay> trism: well but how do I figure out which modules is used for my wlan stick?
[20:37] <s3r3n1t7> erUSUL, quiet and splash are still default in grub2? (sorry for asking you personally, you seem to be on top of the things around)
[20:38] <MaRk-I> s3r3n1t7: yes
[20:38] <s3r3n1t7> MaRk-I, k, tnx
[20:38] <MaRk-I> s3r3n1t7: yw
[20:39] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, hmm that's going to be not of much use. If you had it you'd probably know. Alright, another way then. When booting, you have the grub menu at the start, correct? Could you remove splash quiet from the boot line? This should give you some more information about what is happening. See if you can spot anything out of the ordinary at the end.
[20:39] <trism> ManDay: you could search dmesg output for your wireless interface (wlan0 or whatever) and see what module is listed near it in the output
[20:39] <Mead> anyone know how I can get around this permissions error and get these files extracted to a ext2 partition?
[20:40] <erUSUL> s3r3n1t7: yes;
[20:40] <E-Doggy-Dawg> anyone here
[20:40] <erUSUL> s3r3n1t7: /etc/default/grub
[20:40] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: i dont get the grub menu
[20:41] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, hold down shift, it'll show up. It doesn't show if Ubuntu is the only OS installed.
[20:41] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: i only have ubuntu installed
[20:41] <dean__> can someone help me with a grub menu problem?
[20:42] <dean__> ?
[20:42] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, ok so: Hit the power button, wait for the BIOS screen to flash by, just before it'd be gone hold down shift. This'll force Grub to show itself.
[20:42] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: no wait i got it
[20:42] <lor> is there a lightweight window manager with support to ubuntu stuff, like wifi manager, etc ?
[20:42] <hstefan> hey there. Could someone help me with an RLT8187SE driver? I'm trying to get out of windows, but I still need my wireless working... soo... can you help me with this?
[20:42] <jeaquares> @dean__, what's your problem?
[20:42]  * Mead takes a ticket and sits down like at the DPS
[20:42] <th1> lor, there is xfce
[20:42] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: what should i do know ?
[20:43] <mannyv> my down arrow key no longer works, just started yesterday. When I check in xev it will register a "KeyRelease Event" but it never registers a KeyPress Event as the other keys do
[20:43] <Mead> hstefan: some advice, find out the chipet on your wireless adapter and look for a driver for it, not your make and model
[20:43] <mannyv> anyone know how to fix this problem
[20:43] <dean__> @jeaquares my grub menu wont let me select windows 7 it just reloads the grub screen but i have updated the grub in my terminal but it still says 1.98
[20:43] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, i'm checking for the correct lines.
[20:43] <dean__> this all happened when i updated ubuntu to 10
[20:43] <th1> mannyv, install evtest and see if the raw events appear
[20:43] <evstevemd> I cannot see volume control but I can see evolution. Help me to restore it!
[20:44] <evstevemd> I cannot see volume control but I can see evolution. Help me to restore it!
[20:44] <ManDay> trism: fair enough, will do that
[20:44] <ManDay> thanks :)
[20:44] <evstevemd> I cannot see volume control but I can see evolution. Help me to restore it!
[20:45] <th1> is there anything like "screen" but for x? so I can run an X app in a window on a server and seamlessly see it on my netbook and later on my desktop, like VNC but for individual windows
[20:45] <zxs> could someone lend a hand in getting 3 monitors setup on 10.04 - ati 4xxx x2 cards
[20:45] <hall> Help, trying to get ubuntu to become a router/gateway but haveing trouble on lan side
[20:45] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, ok so, if you select the top entry and then hit the e key you'll go to the edit screen. There should be a line which ends with quiet splash. Could you remove those 2 words? Then press ctrl-x to boot it.
[20:46] <evstevemd> I cannot see volume control but I can see evolution. Help me to restore it!
[20:46] <Mead> hall: shoot me your question, I know about networking and have used ubuntu in a similar situation
[20:46] <dean__> ???
[20:47] <kryptyk> evstevemd: spamming your question will not get you any help. Try providing a bit more information as to what is going on
[20:47] <mannyv> th1, I am able to see raw events when i press the button
[20:47] <hall> Mead, thx. well i followed a guide on how to make ubuntu a router, now i can get a ip address on the lan side but no internet for some reason
[20:47] <th1> mannyv, there is probably something running on the X server that consumes the event
[20:47] <hall> Mead, i can ping the gateway just fine just can't get "outside"
[20:47] <th1> mannyv, did you play around with any configurations like shortcut keys
[20:47] <sweltman_> Is this the right forum for bugs in updater?  attempting upgrade to 10.04 server but unsuccessful.
[20:48] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: i didnt see anything wrong and now im back to the usual boot screen
[20:48] <Mead> you need to turn on some services like NAT and DHCP
[20:48] <mannyv> th1, no, I was rather behind in my updates so I had apt update like 120 packages the other day and i think it started after that.
[20:48] <th1> mannyv, I know it's a hassle but I suggest you try creating a new user and log in as that user and see if that solves the problem
[20:49] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, euff ... odd ... and if you hit alt f3 you should get another terminal. Are you able to login there?
[20:49] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: yes
[20:49] <hstefan> Mead: well, It's the chipset... so... what else should I do?
[20:50] <^Jay2^> bastid_raZor: i am confused with the a|A)
[20:50] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, ok do so please. Do you have internet on this pc? If so, please install pastebinit and use that to pastebin the output of dmesg using the following command: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit
[20:50] <hall> Mead, you there ? or you wanted it in priv ?
[20:50] <mannyv> th1, ok i will try that. I also have both kde and gnome so i will check if it is a problem for me in both or only kde
[20:50] <econdudeawesome> What in the world happened to fluxbuntu?
[20:50] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, it'll provide you with a link, which i'd like to see.
[20:50] <JuJuBee__> I just got my wife a new iPod nano what software can I use to manage it (make playlists and copy music/plalists to it)?
[20:50] <th1> mannyv, ok let us know either way :)
[20:50] <bastid_raZor> ^Jay2^: a response of an "a" or an "A"
[20:50] <^Jay2^> bastid_raZor: i am getting this error test.sh: line 14: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
[20:50] <s3r3n1t7> !ipod
[20:50] <ManDay> Can anyone tell me how the kernel loads the keymap and how it can be told WHICH keymap to use?
[20:51] <^Jay2^> like 14 is where i have a|A) `ping www.google.com`
[20:51] <JuJuBee__> s3r3n1t7: thanks I will look
[20:51] <th1> ManDay, usually console-setup will load a keymap
[20:51] <Mead> Hall: sorry I was in my ubuntu system looking at my configs to tell you about them
[20:51] <th1> ManDay, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
[20:52] <hall> Mead, ahh no worries :) i ahve to say i have a bridge tho on my wlan0 and eth0 "those 2 are min inbound"
[20:52] <Mead> hstefan: you need to find out what wireless chipset is in your device, and find a driver for the chipset.
[20:52] <sweltman_> Is this the right forum for bugs in updater?  attempting upgrade to 10.04 server but unsuccessful.
[20:52] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: i doesnt seem to connect
[20:52] <^peanut^> sweltman_: try #ubuntu-server
[20:53] <th1> sweltman_, you can ask in here for sure
[20:53] <sweltman_> thnk you pnut!
[20:53] <^peanut^> sweltman_: np
[20:53] <JuJuBee__> s3r3n1t7: I thought Amarok doesn't sync with iPods since 2.x
[20:54] <dean__> so can anyone help me with my grub menu problem?
[20:54] <s3r3n1t7> JuJuBee__, I'm not sure, all i know is that factoid which seems to be fairly accurate. I'd say try it and find out
[20:54] <unclemantis> uuid_generate_time generates a UUID based on the current time and the mac address. What if I want to generate a UUID based on a specified timestamp. how does one do this?
[20:54] <JuJuBee__> I will give it a try
[20:54] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, doesn't seem to connect ... hmm sounds dodgy ... I'd be tempted to recommend to disable the startup entry from timidity and do a reboot. This will confirm (or not) if that truely is the bugger.
[20:54] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: ok how do i do that  ?
[20:55] <blekos> could tell me if there is a freeware for converting dvd to divx?
[20:55] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, a second, need to find out the boot entry of it
[20:55] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: ok :))
[20:55] <dean> hi i cant boot windows 7 from my grub menu can anyone help me
[20:55] <pipeep> blekos: handbrake
[20:55] <th1> blekos, there are several dvd::rip is prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrobably useful
[20:56] <pipeep> blekos, will convert to mpg4 which I believe is compatible
[20:56] <Jordan_U> dean: Do you see windows as an option in the grub menu?
[20:56] <tntc> uh, I'm on x86_64 and it looks like some udpates to the kernel are being held back.  Is this normal?
[20:56] <blekos> handbrake is not compatible any more
[20:56] <dean> yes i do
[20:56] <Jordan_U> dean: What happens when you select it?
[20:56] <blekos> I had handbrake in windows
[20:56] <dean> it reloads grub menu
[20:56] <th1> blekos, or AcidRip
[20:56] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, ok so ... this should disable the bootup entry by making the timidity binary no longer executable by removing that flag:         sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/timidity
[20:56] <pipeep> blekos, older versions had xvid support
[20:56] <blekos> just want to convert my movies for my HTC Desire :)
[20:56] <Jordan_U> dean: You've accidentily installed grub to your windows partition.
[20:56] <dean> how can i fix it?
[20:57] <th1> blekos, try AcidRip
[20:57] <^peanut^> blekos: Handbreak is perfect for that
[20:57] <dean> i dont have my windows 7 cd
[20:57] <dean> anymore
[20:57] <dean> so i cant reinstall
[20:57] <^peanut^> blekos: that's how I get my movies on to my Moto Droid
[20:57] <blekos> as I said before, there is no new version for Linux :(
[20:57] <Jordan_U> dean: First run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and when asked about install devices make sure that *no* partitions are selected. That command will ask other questions, leave them at their default (some will be blank, that is normal).
[20:58] <th1> dean can you paste your grub.cfg in codepad.org?
[20:58] <^peanut^> blekos: the version that works with 10.04 has been great. what else are you trying to do that the currect version won't?
[20:58] <th1> !paste
[20:58] <dean> how do i find my grub.cfg
[20:58] <th1> dean or paste.ubuntu.com
[20:58] <blekos> which version is that?
[20:58] <Jordan_U> dean: After you've done that you can restore your windows bootloader by follwing this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector
[20:58] <th1> dean, it is in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:58] <slinker1> i second the handbrake works great
[20:59] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: didnt change anything :(
[20:59] <pipeep> blekos: you can get nightly builds if you must here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-snapshots
[20:59] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, does it still show you the error about timidity?
[20:59] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: nope
[20:59] <^peanut^> pipeep: yup, thats the ppa I just started using. works great
[20:59] <coordinador> ok , i recofigure avahi, now i have users connected to a machine, what if i restart avahi in that machine, the users will disconect?
[20:59] <pipeep> blekos, but "0.9.4 is no longer available due to compatibility issues with the newer version of gnome."
[20:59] <slinker1> use the ppa
[21:00] <^peanut^> coordinador: I'd think so.
[21:00] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, then timidity is not the bugger in this case, must be something else then ... go to the alternate terminal where you could login earlier and type in dmesg. It'll show you a huge chunk of text, but the part you're interested in is at the bottom. Check if it has an error, warning or something else that'd be bad.
[21:00] <pipeep> are their any serious stability issues?
[21:00] <^peanut^> pipeep: not that I've seen so far. been converting movies like crazy for the last 3 days.
[21:00] <s3r3n1t7> coordinador, no they shouldn't, not untill their lease runs out.
[21:00] <slinker1> works fine here as well
[21:01] <coordinador> s3r3n1t7, ^peanut^ so, i can restart avahi, right?
[21:01]  * pipeep adds ppa
[21:01] <blekos> then I give it a try
[21:01] <^peanut^> pipeep: then taking and compressing down a 3g movie to 900mb, and it really can do it. and it still looks great
[21:01] <blekos> thnx
[21:01] <s3r3n1t7> coordinador, you should be able to restart it, yes. In my network it does not disconnect all the users. Do note, i have 2 switches in between the server and clients.
[21:01] <^peanut^> coordinador: if your not worried about kicking the other users... yes.
[21:01] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: I dont see any errors
[21:02] <coordinador> s3r3n1t7, ^peanut^ oh.. whom believe ?
[21:02] <^peanut^> coordinador: yeah, or whom.
[21:02] <s3r3n1t7> coordinador, i'm only talking about my own network. Yours does obviously differ so the results may not be the same. Follow ^peanut^ if you want to be 100% safe.
[21:02] <chughgaurav> I know Java , can I help the ubuntu community ?
[21:03] <patx> when doing the minimal install it fails installing the base system, im doing this inside a vm... any ideas?
[21:03] <dean> th1 how do i find it
[21:03] <Jordan_U> th1: The problem isn't his grub.cfg, see my above explanation.
[21:03] <dean> oh
[21:03] <coordinador> s3r3n1t7, i wanted to be a bofh,,, but i think i will do when all users go home
[21:03] <dean> well the command u gave me wont work
[21:03] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, hmm kk ... let's reenable timidity then by the following command, once again in the terminal where you were able to login.         sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/timidity
[21:03] <trism> ManDay: little late, but found that: lsusb -t; seems to list the module, though not the name, but lsusb shows the name, so just need to associate bus_id, dev_id between the two
[21:03] <coordinador> s3r3n1t7, and ^peanut^ , thank you for your help
[21:03] <th1> Jordan_U, why do you think he installed grub to the windows partition?
[21:04] <^peanut^> coordinador: your welcome
[21:04] <Jordan_U> th1: Because when he chainloads to his windows partition it re-loads grub.
[21:04] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: done
[21:04] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, i'm afraid that i've exhausted pretty much all my options to finding the bugger that doesn't let it boot up. We have ruled out that timidity blocks it though, which may help someone else find your problem.
[21:04] <th1> Jordan_U, that could also happen if the windows entry in grub.cfg was wrong
[21:04] <th1> Jordan_U, at least it's worth having a look
[21:04] <tntc> what's with these three held-back kernel packages?  linux-generic, linux-image-generic, and linux-headers-generic?
[21:04] <Jordan_U> th1: No, it couldn't.
[21:04] <th1> Jordan_U, yes if he chainloads the mbr
[21:04] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: ok ((
[21:05] <ManDay> trism: not too late at all, greatly appreciated! thanks!
[21:05] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: but thanks alot :))
[21:05] <th1> Jordan_U or the partition where grub is installed
[21:05] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, a new version should be installed, which will not happen with safe-upgrade.
[21:05] <th1> dean, did you install grub manually?
[21:05] <Jordan_U> th1: The entry is automatically generated.
[21:05] <dean> so what should i do?
[21:05] <dean> no
[21:05] <dean> ubuntu did
[21:05] <s3r3n1t7> Milkkk, sorry I couldn't help you further. Ask the channel :-)
[21:05] <th1> I think it's highly unlikely that ubuntu would have installed grub in his windows partition's bootsector
[21:05] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, /should/ be?  Because I have to confess, I'm reluctant, since in the past upgrading to the newest kernel has caused my wireless and suspend to stop working...
[21:05] <Milkkk> s3r3n1t7: no problem :D
[21:05] <dean> when u install ubuntu beside windows it adds the grub menu
[21:06] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, what command did you execute?
[21:06] <th1> dean, I'd still like to see your grub.cfg can you open it and paste it to paste.ubuntu.com
[21:06] <chughgaurav>  /msg nickerv identify pass
[21:06] <Mead> anyone know how to deal with permissions?  I can't get a "file roller" to extract a tgz file into a ext2 partition.  Using ubunti 9.10 live
[21:06] <dean> how do i open it
[21:06] <dean> im so new to linux
[21:06] <th1> dean, gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[21:06] <paulhomebus> chmod
[21:06] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, on previous installs, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.  Update-manager won't install them, so I had to do that.
[21:06] <s3r3n1t7> Mead, do you have permissions to write on that partition?
[21:06] <th1> or open the file explorer and navigate to /boot/grub and open it from there
[21:06] <paulhomebus> chmod 777 *
[21:07] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, did you execute that command now as well, and it ended with those packages being held back?
[21:07] <bastid_raZor> Mead: press ALT + F2  then enter gksudo file-roller     .. now navigate to the file and extract it.
[21:07] <paulhomebus> chown root * - chgrp root *
[21:07] <Jordan_U> th1: It's because he didn't read carefully when prompted for where to install grub. I've asked for the message to be made more clear, and it will be in Ubuntu 10.10.
[21:07] <dean> th1: http://pastebin.org/413694
[21:07] <Mead> s3r3n1t7: I am running whatever is default when you boot off a live CD
[21:07] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, as a matter of fact, yes!  I hadn't noticed that till just now.  What's going on?
[21:07] <patx> when doing the minimal install it fails installing the base system, im doing this inside a vm... any ideas?
[21:08] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, could you update please first? sudo apt-get update        and after that, simulate doing a dist-upgrade? sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade
[21:09] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, check if it still tells you those packages would be held back.
[21:09] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, just did  it.  It still does.  funky.
[21:09] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, I can't be the only one, right?
[21:09] <s3r3n1t7> Mead, means you do not have permissions to write on your newly created disk. Do as bastid_raZor told you.
[21:09] <tntc> other people would've noticed.
[21:09] <dean> th1: any ideas?
[21:09] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, odd ...
[21:10] <Jordan_U> dean: First run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" and when asked about install devices make sure that *no* partitions are selected. That command will ask other questions, leave them at their default (some will be blank, that is normal).
[21:10] <th1> dean, yeah Jordan_U is probably right.
[21:10] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, I know! what does uname -a report for you?
[21:10] <Jordan_U> dean: After you've done that you can restore your windows bootloader by follwing this guide: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector
[21:10] <tarvid> replaced CRT with 17" LCD and all I get is the background. How do I reconfigure Xorg on Lucid?
[21:10] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, could you tell me your kernel version?                Linux thehoff 2.6.32-23-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 07:54:58 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[21:10] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, I get Linux Ninja 2.6.32-21-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 16 08:09:38 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[21:10] <th1> Jordan_U, can't grub load windows's ntldr or whatever it is directly?
[21:10] <dean> jordan_u when i run that i get debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[21:11] <dean> how do i kill that process
[21:11] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, how recent is your install?
[21:11] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, haven't updated since euhm ... 2-3 days, so i'll run myself some now.
[21:11] <Mead> bastid_raZor: your the shiznick, extracting right now
[21:11] <^peanut^> tarvid: did you swap screens while the system was still on?
[21:11] <Jordan_U> th1: Only in grub2's experimental branch.
[21:11] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, I'm wondering if the package is being held back on purpose
[21:12] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, perhaps it'll tell you with -v?
[21:12] <dean> jardan_U: why wont it let me run that?
[21:12] <tarvid> ^peanut^, yes
[21:12] <metalgeek> Hello everyone. Could anyone tell me how to bring up information about my system ala msinfo from windows? Thanks
[21:12] <Jordan_U> dean: What do you mean? What error message do you get when you try to run the command?
[21:12] <^peanut^> tarvid: try rebooting, or poweroff/poweron. ubuntu auto-detects screens, just not while it's running I guess.
[21:12] <dean> debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[21:13] <Jordan_U> dean: Close any other package manager that may be open.
[21:13] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, I'll check. -v does version with apt-get.  also, even synaptic won't update it.  I think it's intentionally held back.  Plenty of other stuff updated just fine.
[21:13] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, i do not have a newer kernel available to me at this time. I would suggest that you reboot, then update, then upgrade and see what happens.
[21:14] <dean> how do i do that
[21:14] <dean> i dont have any other terminals open
[21:14] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, :) I did that before I came here!
[21:14] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, very odd.
[21:14] <th1> dean, maybe you have an "Updates available" window or a "Software centre" window open
[21:14] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, and you said some other updates just went fine? Did you do those before or after the reboot?
[21:14] <ilovefairuz> metalgeek: what kind of info? try lshw
[21:15] <IdleOne> tntc: packages that are held back are usually so because of a dependency that has not yet been uploaded to the repos. Don't worry about them and when they are ready they will upgrade
[21:15] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, before, but I installed a package right after too.
[21:15] <nico66> всем привет ))
[21:15] <s3r3n1t7> tntc, then i'd still suggest the list in my prev post. Reboot, update then upgrade, see what it'll tell you then.
[21:15] <tntc> IdleOne, yeah, but kernel packages?  That's a first for me.  Wouldn't they just leave the older, working version in the repos?
[21:15] <Jordan_U> !ru | nico66
[21:15] <IdleOne> !ru  nico66
[21:15] <IdleOne> tntc: the older working version is on your pc, working :)
[21:16] <tntc> s3r3n1t7, ok, back in a few then!
[21:16] <tntc> IdleOne, I suppose that's true :)
[21:16] <s3r3n1t7> IdleOne, didn't know that. I'll remember that
[21:16] <tntc> perhaps I'll just install on my other machine and see what happens.
[21:16] <tntc> (I am running Gentoo on my desktop, but Emerge has frayed my nerves)
[21:17] <disappearedng> I plugged in walkman, no response what do I do ?

[21:19] <IdleOne> metalgeek: lsb_release -a    and    uname -a will give some info on installed OS
[21:19] <ilovefairuz> metalgeek: uname -a

[21:24] <th1> stealfalcon, sudo aptitude remove edubuntu-desktop and sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[21:25] <stealfalcon> ok
[21:25] <th1> stealfalcon, assuming you want to switch from edubuntu to standard ubuntu
[21:25] <maco> dean: not dumb, inexperienced :)
[21:25] <maco> papna: xprop can tell you their command so you can look it up in ps
[21:25] <ilovefairuz> papna: alt + f2 then gnome-system-monitor
[21:26] <papna> It's fixed now.
[21:26] <dean> jardan_U when i did that i didnt select any partition that was the way to do it right?
[21:26] <papna> Thanks.

[21:27] <iceroot> thewolf: if you got an actual solution, maybe think about changing the bot or tell an op to do it, so that others get the new information. i am sorry i cant help because (luckily) i dont have apple-hardware just wat to give the ifo about the new textfor ubottu
[21:27] <Jordan_U> dean: Correct.

[21:28] <th1> stealfalcon, read the message from ubottu
[21:29] <stealfalcon> i use the web irc
[21:29] <stealfalcon> th1 can u pls resomp in pm
[21:29] <Netalarm> There's something wrong with my Ubuntu installation, and it's getting pretty annoying. When I boot up, there are 3 choices to chose from
[21:29] <dean>  1 * HPFS - NTFS              0  32 33    12 223 19     204800 [System Reserved] 2 P HPFS - NTFS             12 223 20 40212   3 36  645799157 3 E extended             40212   5 46 91201  79 18  819142920
[21:29] <th1> !pm | stealfalcon
[21:29] <th1> we try again..
[21:29] <Netalarm> different ubuntu versions
[21:29] <dean> which one is my windows
[21:29] <dean> 1 2
[21:29] <dean> or 3
[21:29] <thewolf> iceroot:the guide is updated for the music...and I think for transcoding... but not for actually adding it to the iPod... they suggest gtkpod to do that and now it won't even find the iPod
[21:30] <dean>  1 * HPFS - NTFS              0  32 33    12 223 19     204800 [System Reserved]
[21:30] <iceroot> thewolf: if i am correct banshee and amarok can handle it
[21:30] <^peanut^> dean: 1 and 2 are your windows parts.
[21:30] <stealfalcon> !pm | stealfalcon
[21:30] <^peanut^> dean: 2 is your primary partition, 1 looks like a recovery partition
[21:30] <dean> k thanks
[21:30] <iceroot> thewolf: but let me add this info, you see why apple is bad because you cant easily add the music because its a strange closed-source drm thing
[21:31] <stealfalcon> ok my pc can read my disc help!
[21:31] <mataernj> Hi--  please visit www.blogeek.com.ve
[21:31] <gurudrew> I'm running Ubuntu server
[21:32] <stealfalcon> it cant even see the drive
[21:32] <rww> mataernj: don't advertise in here, please
[21:32] <iceroot> mataernj: stop it please
[21:32] <^peanut^> gurudrew: try: #ubuntu-server
[21:32] <th1> stealfalcon, what are you trying to do?
[21:32] <thewolf> iceroot: but that is why I got it... Because we (Linux/Ubuntu) "hacked" it and can add or take any data that we want from a iPod... I actually did gave some one a podcast on there iPod (that was synced to there iTuned)
[21:32] <ManDay> What is /etc/rcS please?
[21:32] <iceroot> gurudrew: there is no real difference in server and normal ubuntu, so just post your question
[21:32] <winmutt> im trying to get a dual headed radeon and my onbooard vid card to give me three displays, i can get either to work but not both
[21:32] <stealfalcon> i have i disc with info on it and i cant even see it
[21:33] <th1> stealfalcon, it's a CD?
[21:33] <dean> Jardan_U im on the last part of the testdisk thing and it says http://pastebin.org/413721
[21:33] <stealfalcon> yes
[21:33] <thune3> Netalarm: what options? are you talking about the grub screen?
[21:33] <stealfalcon> well dvd
[21:33] <dean> can u tell me what im supposed to choose
[21:33] <Netalarm> thune3, yes. http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/4489/dsc06914q.jpg
[21:33] <stealfalcon> but i have a dvd drive
[21:33] <th1> stealfalcon, what happens if you click Places->Computer, does it show the drive at all?
[21:34] <stealfalcon> nope
[21:34] <Netalarm> it creates a new entry everytime i update ubuntu
[21:34] <th1> stealfalcon, maybe your DVD drive isn't working has it worked before?
[21:34] <stealfalcon> yes with windows
[21:34] <iceroot> Netalarm: thats normal, its a new kernel
[21:34] <ilovefairuz> !dualhead | winmutt
[21:35] <Netalarm> is there anyway to remove the old ones?
[21:35] <thune3> Netalarm: every kernel you have installed gets its own entry. it is usually good to have a backup kernel installed, but you could *carefully* remove old kernels.
[21:35] <iceroot> Netalarm: yes, uninstall old kernels
[21:35] <gurudrew> Okay, I posted in -server, but it's a bit dead in there. I'm trying to set up KVM on my 9.10 server. I need it for Windows Server 2008, so I need X. I did apt-get install gdm, assuming this would resolve my troubles
[21:35] <thewolf> stealfalcon: the laser for a CD and a DVD are two seprate things... one or the other can go out.. do you think that is it?
[21:35] <gurudrew> Everything worked fine for the moment
[21:35] <gurudrew> But when I rebooted my hard drive isn't being detected properly, and I need to run some sort of chkdsk or something
[21:36] <stealfalcon> no
[21:36] <dean> http://pastebin.org/413721 can someone look at that and tell me which im supposed to select
[21:36] <gurudrew> But cannot find the option in the recovery on the CD
[21:36] <ilovefairuz> Netalarm: it's advisable to leave them, at least one older version, to use if new kernel has issues
[21:36] <stealfalcon> it worked this moring
[21:36] <Netalarm> ok
[21:36] <Netalarm> good to know that's perfectly normal xP
[21:36] <th1> stealfalcon, ls /dev/sr0
[21:36] <ManDay> What is /etc/rcS please?
[21:36] <^peanut^> gurudrew: boot from a live desktop cd, open terminal, unmount your disk, then fsck /dev/"yourdisk"
[21:37] <gurudrew> So I guess my question, simplified is, how can I check or repair a disk from server live cd?
[21:37] <gurudrew> ahh
[21:37] <gurudrew> fsck
[21:37] <gurudrew> is fsck on the server livecd?
[21:37] <stealfalcon> ok i have sr0
[21:37] <^peanut^> gurudrew: not sure.
[21:37] <ilovefairuz> dean: is there existing partitions with important data on this drive ?
[21:37] <iceroot> ManDay: /etc/rcS.d/ ?
[21:37] <th1> stealfalcon, sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt -t iso9660
[21:37] <dean> ya my windows is on that
[21:37] <^peanut^> gurudrew: there might be a way to get a shell from the server install cd...never tried it.
[21:37] <ilovefairuz> !runlevel | ManDay
[21:38] <stealfalcon> mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,        missing codepage or helper program, or other error        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try        dmesg | tail  or so
[21:38] <gurudrew> there is, if fsck is on there
[21:38] <dean> im following these instructions to get my windows back http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:Boot_Sector
[21:38] <iceroot> ManDay: the place with init-scripts which are executed at (S)tartup, so its rcS
[21:38] <th1> stealfalcon, try again without -t iso9660
[21:38] <dean> and that is the last option in the test disk
[21:38] <^peanut^> gurudrew: or, boot server with -s option. see if you can get a root shell, then unmount your disk and fsck it
[21:38] <stealfalcon> kk
[21:39] <^peanut^> gurudrew: add -s to the end of the kernel line.
[21:39] <ilovefairuz> dean: well answer my question
[21:39] <ilovefairuz> !who | dean
[21:39] <stealfalcon> mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[21:39] <th1> stealfalcon, I guess your DVD is probably corrupted
[21:39] <stealfalcon> but my dvd drive is active i can hear it going
[21:40] <dean> ilovefairuz theres lots of important info on that drive
[21:40] <th1> stealfalcon, yeah its trying to read the disc but it can't try with another DVD or CD
[21:40] <edoceo> !file updatedb
[21:40] <edoceo> !file locate
[21:40] <Netalarm> what's the newest kernel?
[21:40] <stealfalcon> i just wont apear
[21:40] <ilovefairuz> dean: i suggestion you backup now
[21:40] <thune3> Netalarm: the old kernels can stack up and you might benefit from knowing how to remove them.
[21:40] <iceroot> edoceo: sudo apt-get install locate
[21:40] <stealfalcon> do i need a driver?
[21:40] <th1> stealfalcon, it won't appear because it can't read the disc
[21:40] <ilovefairuz> dean: suggest *
[21:40] <sticky> Netalarm, http://kernel.org - Look for yourself
[21:40] <edoceo> Hmm, I thought it was called slocate ?
[21:41] <th1> type dmesg | tail -n 20
[21:41] <stealfalcon> ok it can see it
[21:41] <th1> stealfalcon, that might give you some moremessages
[21:41] <stealfalcon> with a new cd
[21:41] <th1> ok then there's just something wroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong with that disc
[21:42]  * sticky compiles 2.6.35-rc6 on his ARM box
[21:42] <th1> oops stuck key..
[21:50] <hiexpo> wow
[21:53] <monkey_dust> server split?
[21:54] <shubbar> using chromium --user-agent= switch does not fool every website, don't know why
[21:54] <wfamy> is there a method to launch a script with upstart and have it all done before prompt or any-dm?
[21:55] <blendmaster1024_> shubbar, I can tell you why. it's because that's not the only way to detect current browser
[21:55] <ilovefairuz> wfamy: rc.local
[21:55] <blendmaster1024_> the other way is to look and see what javascript features there are. which is the preferred way anyway, because it doesn't care what specific browser, it just uses what's there - or at least shows an error.
[21:55] <shubbar> blendmaster1024_, firefox user agent switcher does the job for me, but i prefer using chromium
[21:56] <blendmaster1024_> shubbar, I suspect that's because firefox may implement some nonstandard javascript features that IE adds, to be compatible.
[21:56] <hiexpo> how do i go back further on xchat log?
[21:56] <monkey_dust> yes chromium is nicer to work with
[21:56] <blendmaster1024_> hiexpo, depends on if you have it on. if you do, then go to settings->preferences->logging->open data folder
[21:57] <hiexpo> blendmaster1024_,  thanx forgot    :)
[21:57] <blendmaster1024_> hiexpo, however, that only works of you have logging on. if you don't have the checkbox "enable logging of conversations to disk" checked, you can't.
[21:58] <hiexpo> welp no luck
[21:58] <ilovefairuz> shubbar: most moden javascript libraries sniff for javascript features and modify their behavior according to that, not according to user agents
[21:58] <blendmaster1024_> hiexpo, also, if your ram is greater than 10mb, than I suggest turning the scrollback size to 10000 in the text box tab of the settings area.
[21:58] <Bax2> hi, can someone help me with my pendrive?
[21:58] <blendmaster1024_> !ask > Bax2
[21:58] <Bax2> i receive a message saying that it was not possible to mount it
[21:58] <BCMM> i'm trying to update a friend's system which is way out of date (hardy), and am running into problems
[21:58] <slabo> on xubuntu on my old laptop, after an upgrade xfce doesn't work anymore. after login - which works - it returns right to the login-manager. fluxbox works, though. what could i try?
[21:58] <wfamy> ilovefairuz: /etc/rc.local? any url? do i have to call my script inside /etc/rc.local? I do not understand upstart.
[21:58] <BCMM> i've tried apt-get install -f, and get "package is in very bad inconsistent state" and so on for flashplugin
[21:59] <BCMM> how can i fix that?
[21:59] <ilovefairuz> wfamy: yes call it there
[21:59] <shubbar> blendmaster1024_, i tried a user agent switcher extension for chrome, it worked at javascript but it didn't fool my bank website
[21:59] <wfamy> ok i will try it. thx
[21:59] <blendmaster1024_> shubbar, hmmm .... due to the way chrome extensions work, it may be failing to excecute for one of a few reasons.
[22:00] <ilovefairuz> BCMM: pastebin command and all output
[22:00] <Bax2> blendmaster1024_: when i plug my pendrive, i receive a message saying it was not possible to mount it
[22:00] <peggys_mouse> when trying to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4, i get the error "you have held broken packages". when i search for held packages, i don't find any. when i look in /var/log/dist-upgrade, there are a lot of messages in the log about broken conflicts and broken depends. it seems like a lot to remove. what's the general approach to fix this?
[22:00] <kisuke> how does one figure out what drivers are loaded? i think its a switch for modprobe, but i can remember for the life of me.
[22:00] <ilovefairuz> shubbar: the user agent switcher for chrome changes only the navigator DOM object inside the browser, doesn't modify outgoing headers
[22:01] <blendmaster1024_> Bax2, I can't help.
[22:01] <Bogus8> anyone familiar with fuppes?
[22:01] <^peanut^> Bax2: did you format your pendrive to fat32? or ntfs?
[22:01] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: in a terminal type: mkdir /tmp/test; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/test
[22:01] <Bogus8> I've got it installed but when I run it I get a sqlite can't create DB error
[22:01] <ilovefairuz> !terminal | Bax2
[22:01] <hiexpo> peggys_mouse,  upgrading from one distro to another is = to a train wreck   > should backup files and do a fresh install
[22:02] <ManDay> Where is the documentation of irssi.conf?
[22:02] <Bax2> ^peanut^ its fat16 i think =o
[22:02] <etalyc> kisuke: lsmod
[22:02] <shubbar> ilovefairuz, do you suggest changing javascript features?
[22:02] <Bogus8> ManDay: their website is usually where I get most of my info
[22:02] <shubbar> blendmaster1024_, whatsmyuseragent.com got fooled with the --user-agent=
[22:02] <^peanut^> Bax2: ok that should be fine. and your trying to boot from it and you get that error correct?
[22:02] <ilovefairuz> shubbar: what are you trying to accomplish ?
[22:02] <ManDay> Bogus8: thanks
[22:02] <peggys_mouse> hiexpo: reinstall every six months? i might as well switch distros.
[22:03] <Bogus8> ManDay: if you have specific questions their irc channel is quite helpful
[22:03] <Bax2> ^peanut^: yes, it says not authorized
[22:03] <hiexpo> peggys_mouse,  stay with 9.10  it'sbetter i think
[22:03] <kisuke> etalyc, thanks
[22:03] <chughgaurav_> I know intermediate C++ and Java , can I help Ubuntu  team
[22:03] <shubbar> ilovefairuz, pay my due bills... my bank doesn't accpet every browser and i want to use chromium
[22:03] <blendmaster1024_> shubbar, hmm. I forgot about the headers. that's going to be a bit harder to deal with ...
[22:03] <Stameni> can someone help me with Gedit ? anyone hwo use gEdit for coding ?
[22:04] <ilovefairuz> kisuke: lshw
[22:04] <blendmaster1024_> !ask | Stameni
[22:04] <blendmaster1024_> Stameni, I can. but ask your question first anyway!
[22:04] <Stameni> ok, sorry
[22:04] <ilovefairuz> shubbar: not even Firefox is accepted ?
[22:04] <peggys_mouse> hiexpo: this started because i couldn't get my cd burner to work but people surely it must be possible to upgrade from one distro to another.
[22:04] <Stameni> i need to know how to unindent
[22:04] <Bax2> ^peanut^: it reconizes my pendrive on lsusb
[22:04] <blendmaster1024_> Stameni, shift+tab
[22:04] <^peanut^> Bax2: did you check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded to make sure it was a ligit download?
[22:04] <chughgaurav_> can someone , give me answer to question , "I know intermediate C++ and Java , can I help Ubuntu  team" .
[22:05] <shubbar> ilovefairuz, firefox works with user agent switcher addon
[22:05] <peggys_mouse> /distro/release
[22:05] <ilovefairuz> !contribute | chughgaurav_
[22:05] <Bogus8> Hello, I'm trying to run fuppes on 10.4 server... got it installed but when I run it, it gives me an "unable to open database file" from sqlite3
[22:05] <wfamy> When I add /etc/init.d/script start in /etc/rc.local it does not execute the script befor the gdm.
[22:05] <Bax2> ^peanut^ was it for me? about the iso thing? =o
[22:05] <blendmaster1024_> chughgaurav_, try #ubuntu-dev, you can ask the team themselves
[22:05] <Stameni> blendmaster1024_: thank you !
[22:05] <^peanut^> Bax2: yeah
[22:05] <hiexpo> peggys_mouse,  yes but 90 percent chance of a train wreck you might get lucky  and make the break
[22:05] <chughgaurav_> blenmaster 1024_ , thanks
[22:05] <Bax2> ^peanut^ i've no downloaded iso =x
[22:05] <ilovefairuz> shubbar: then use it, don't mess with bank sites, tell them to fix it for safari and it will work fine for chrome
[22:05] <gdb> peggys_mouse: you can't upgrade from one distribution to another, you can, however, upgrade from one version of a given distribution to another version of the same distribution, and it's not difficult to do.
[22:05] <kisuke> ilovefairuz, not quite what  iwas looking for, but it is wat i needed
[22:05] <Bax2> i've ubuntu, i dont want to install it
[22:06] <^peanut^> Bax2: so your running unetbootin and having it download the OS you want and isntall it?
[22:06] <^peanut^> install*
[22:06] <Bax2> no, i don't want to install ubuntu from a pendrive
[22:06] <peggys_mouse> gdb, that's what i meant. did you see my original question?
[22:06] <Bax2> i've ubuntu and i want to use my pendrive, with some photos and something else
[22:06] <^peanut^> Bax2: oh oh ok now I get it sorry.
[22:06] <Bax2> when i plug it, i receive a message: 'not reconized'
[22:06] <ilovefairuz> kisuke: great then
[22:06] <gdb> peggys_mouse: No, I didn't.  I just saw someone giving you bad advice and your reaction about "might as well switch distros".
[22:07] <Bax2> not reconized its a lie, It says, 'not possible to mount, not authorized'
[22:07] <^peanut^> Bax2: hmm, what does dmesg say when you plug it in?
[22:07] <shubbar> ilovefairuz, fairuz the singer?
[22:07] <Bax2> just above ur message, ^peanut^
[22:07] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: did you execute the commands i've given you?
[22:07] <^peanut^> Bax2: ok got it thx
[22:07] <Jordan_U> Bax2: Are you using the user created during install?
[22:07] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: yes, but nothing appeared
[22:08] <chepo> do anybody knows how yo fix the out of range problem in ubuntu
[22:08] <peggys_mouse> gdb:  "when trying to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.4, i get the error "you have held broken packages". when i search for held packages, i don't find any. when i look in /var/log/dist-upgrade, there are a lot of messages in the log about broken conflicts and broken depends. it seems like a lot to remove. what's the general approach to fix this?"
[22:08] <^peanut^> Bax2: yea ilovefairuz  mentioned some unmounting and mounting commands earlier
[22:08] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: no error messages?
[22:08] <Bax2> let me try it again, wait a sec
[22:08] <peggys_mouse> gdb, the advice i received was to reinstall.
[22:08] <thewanderer1> hi, I've got a problem with playing a movie DVD. I've got Ubuntu 10.04 (I think, no means to check that now), stock kernel, an IDE DVD drive and a DVD with a movie. The system does not detect the disc at all, and dmesg tells me that some I/O errors are occuring. I am far away from that machine now. The disc seemed to work last week, so I am at a loss. Excluding hardware failure, how to debug it?
[22:09] <gdb> peggys_mouse: Well, the brute force approach I'd use may not be what you want to do.  That's to use aptitude to strip the system down to a bare minimum install, perform the upgrade, then use aptitude to reinstall "ubuntu-desktop" (I think it's called) and re-localize from there.
[22:09] <chepo> do anybody know how to fix out of range problem
[22:09] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: ye, no error messages
[22:09] <chepo> on ur desktop
[22:09] <gdb> peggys_mouse: There's really no need to reinstall.
[22:09] <hiexpo> gdb,  i was not giving bad advice was just atating the facts that if you do a upgrade like that that  there is a 90 percent chance that it will be a train wreck i am here helping everyday and i see it everyday  and also i have been running since unix see get it right please do not say i give bad advise please
[22:09] <mek8630> chepo: what do you mean out of range problem?
[22:09] <gdb> peggys_mouse: What are the broken packages you're seeing?
[22:09] <Jordan_U> peggys_mouse: Are you trying to fix these errors before you upgrade or are these errors a result of the upgrade?
[22:09] <hiexpo> ^stating
[22:09] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: type          cd /tmp/test; ls
[22:10] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: do you see your files ?
[22:10] <peggys_mouse> Jordan_U: the errors are a result of the upgrade
[22:10] <Bax2> yes i see, ilovefairuz
[22:10] <Jordan_U> peggys_mouse: How did you attempt to upgrade?
[22:10] <chepo> i buyed my game and install it but it says out of range but i i could here the game start
[22:10] <gdb> hiexpo: It's bad advice.  As for the penis comment, I've been a Unix admin for nearly 20 years and running Linux since 1994.
[22:10] <^peanut^> gdb: woot me to... 95'
[22:10] <thewanderer1> chepo, your monitor does not support this resolution, it's not Ubuntu's fault
[22:10] <puff> Did something about virtual console handling change in the past couple versions of ubuntu?
[22:10] <mek8630> chepo: is it a game for windows? and you are using linux?
[22:11] <gdb> ^peanut^: Right on! :-)  Rare to run into other old timers on IRC these days.
[22:11] <ilovefairuz> well go to /tmp/test with File manager, you'll find your files
[22:11] <chepo> so they got playonlinux
[22:11] <^peanut^> gdb: yeah I'll say. we are a dieing breed!
[22:11] <puff> I just upgraded (a big jump, from edgy to lucid) and now virtual consoles seem borked.
[22:11] <gdb> lol
[22:11] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: but when i plug my pendrive again, i'll need to do it? =x
[22:11] <hiexpo> same here since 92 and it is bad to do a dist upgrade it almost always has some sort of failure
[22:11] <chepo> how u go to msconfig in ubuntu if they got one
[22:12] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: may go away after a reboot, you could try reformatting it
[22:12] <mek8630> chepo: you may be able to adjust the resolution for the game so it will work on your monitor as per thewanderer1 was saying
[22:12] <blendmaster1024_> chepo, what are you trying to do?
[22:12] <chepo> yes how u do that
[22:12] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: you mean, the pendrive right?
[22:12] <^peanut^> hiexpo: I did it from 9:10 to 10.04 64bit, and it all went just fine (for me that is). but I agreed, a clean install is much easier in the long run.
[22:12] <duffydack> I have to agree the upgrades i have done to lucid have come with problems that are more trouble than a reinstall, but thats me...
[22:12] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: yes
[22:12] <Jordan_U> hiexpo: The majority of Ubuntu upgrades go fine.
[22:12] <Bax2> ok thx
[22:12] <Bax2> i'll backup files and do it
[22:12] <thewanderer1> chepo, read the game's manual and if no give, consult it with the tech support
[22:12] <mek8630> chepo: linux has it's own configuration msconfig is for windows
[22:13] <peggys_mouse> gdb: there are many but here are a few: gir1.0-glib-2.0, plymouth, pulseaudio
[22:13] <ilovefairuz> chepo: system > preferences > start up applications
[22:13] <gdb> I've never had an issue with either Debian or Ubuntu upgrades (well, ok, Ubuntu's generally go smoother).
[22:13] <machetum> hey, how do I make a bootable winxp usb pen drive from ubuntu?
[22:13] <chepo> k
[22:13] <gdb> peggys_mouse: Do you have a pastebin to review?
[22:13] <hiexpo> ^peanut^,  yes some go ok but itis so much easier to just backup and do a fresh yes
[22:13] <peggys_mouse> i can paste it. just a sec.
[22:13] <thewanderer1> machetum: Windows XP will not boot off a pendrive
[22:13] <Bogus8> Hello, I'm trying to run fuppes on 10.4 server... got it installed but when I run it, it gives me an "unable to open database file" from sqlite3
[22:14] <machetum> thewanderer1, I don't mean like live usb.... but to actually install it on drive
[22:14] <^peanut^> hiexpo: yea new installs are much nicer to support than upgrades with system settings and prefs setup by and end user. that's a headache.
[22:14] <^peanut^> ^an
[22:14] <thewanderer1> machetum: if you want to install Windows XP on USB, you won't do that with Ubuntu - Windows is not tinker-friendly. Ask in #windows
[22:14] <chepo> ilovefairuz and wat next
[22:14] <BCMM> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.org/413774
[22:15] <Jordan_U> peggys_mouse: How did you attempt to upgrade?
[22:15] <crohakon> What channel should I go to for wine related help?
[22:15] <ilovefairuz> chepo: uncheck the stuff you don't want to run when you log in, but be careful
[22:15] <machetum> so I need to have to be on windows to make it work?
[22:15] <^peanut^> #wine-hq?
[22:15] <chepo> thats what u do to make the screen smaller
[22:15] <peggys_mouse> gdb, Jordan_U, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/V6zE2cBi
[22:16] <hiexpo> ^peanut^,  its a continuance thing probally before this line is over there will be one  > i upgradedfrom 9.10 to 10.04 and now i can not boot watch
[22:16] <gdb> My point isn't that fresh installs are a bad idea.  My point is that resorting to "reinstall" over some package conflicts, without having any additional information, is a bad call.  peggys_mouse's hadn't even provided the error output yet.
[22:16] <ilovefairuz> BCMM: apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-nonfree
[22:16] <MJB_> Hey guys someone helped me get drivers for ubuntu 9.10. I am trying to get drivers for ubuntu 10.04. What was the application again ?
[22:16] <duffydack> machetum, I think I saw a method while googling many moons ago, not sure if it was for xp or vista/7 or all.. google is your friend
[22:16] <^peanut^> hiexpo: You so know it. =)
[22:16] <gdb> peggys_mouse: Thank you.
[22:16] <chepo> wat about going to safe mode
[22:16] <^peanut^> MJB_: "Hardware Drivers" app
[22:17] <chepo> u think it would detect the screen 4 the game
[22:17] <machetum> duffydack, if google is my friend he's acting like a real douche friend
[22:17] <^peanut^> MJB_: under Administration menu
[22:17] <MJB_> That wasn't it. It was something about ubuntu something. I can't remember it. I was having so much trouble finding drivers
[22:17] <peggys_mouse> gdb: i did remove some of the errors by uninstalling some dbus packages. but there just seems like a lot to go. maybe that's the only way tho?
[22:17] <gdb> peggys_mouse: It doesn't look from this as if you've actually upgraded the system yet.  Is that right?
[22:17] <^peanut^> MJB_: oh, then I'm not sure. sorry. someone here will know...
[22:17] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: how can i format the pendrive? =x
[22:17] <panka> im trying to install ubuntu 10 without cd or usb. i've created a partition on which i have extracted to content of the iso, but im having trouble booting the kernel there from grub. i assume its isolinux/isolinux.bin i should boot?
[22:17] <duffydack> machetum, the only way I know of installing xp other than cd is via a RIS server :) but i`m old.
[22:18] <chepo> i be back.i got something in my head wat to do
[22:18] <^peanut^> Bax2: mkfs /dev/"your pendrive partition"
[22:18] <Jordan_U> hiexpo: This is a support channel, that means that comments here will be highly skewed toward people having problems. You can't base judgements about how reliable upgrades are by only looking at support requests.
[22:18] <Bogus8> anyone in here use fuppes?
[22:18] <samoy2002> hi there, enabled my user directories, but when i access them, the index.html file wants to download instead of displaying, anyone have any idea why
[22:18] <Bax2> ^peanut^ its the sbd1, right?
[22:18] <Bax2> sdb
[22:18] <hiexpo> Jordan_U,  true
[22:18] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: applications > system tools > disk utility ... and always be careful
[22:18] <peggys_mouse> gdb: also, linux-image-generic seems like a bad one to remove. maybe there is something else i'm using.
[22:18] <trojan_spike> machetum, do u mean aving xp without the key-code??
[22:18] <^peanut^> Bax2: type: sudo fisk -l to make sure
[22:19] <root_ghost> مرهبا
[22:19] <ilovefairuz> samoy2002: how did you enable them ?
[22:19] <barfster> If I install Ubuntu virtual host, what am I supposed to run? VBox?
[22:19] <^peanut^> barfster: yes
[22:19] <hiexpo> Jordan_U,  i was just sugesting a fresh install over an upgrade thats what started it sorry
[22:19] <ilovefairuz> root_ghost: english only here
[22:20] <kisuke> ok i need to load the module b43 on startup, how would i? (mostly bash literate user here)
[22:20] <barfster> Virtualbox "server"?
[22:20] <samoy2002> ilovefairuz: created soft links within the mods_enabled directory
[22:20] <^peanut^> barfster: yes
[22:20] <peggys_mouse> hiexpo and Jordan_U, it is true that i have installed a lot of software from various sources so i'm sure that most people don't have these issues.
[22:20] <barfster> ^peanut^: How many instances can I run on one node?
[22:20] <Jordan_U> !arabic | root_ghost
[22:20] <^peanut^> barfster: how many Vcpu's do you have?
[22:20] <barfster> Vcpus?
[22:21] <^peanut^> barfster: how many cpu cores do you have?
[22:21] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: i get this error: Not Authorized
[22:21] <barfster> I have dual quad core 3GHz
[22:21] <ilovefairuz> Jordan_U: pm?
[22:21] <^peanut^> barfster: so you have 8 Vcpus
[22:21] <root_ghost> ok
[22:21] <root_ghost> thank u
[22:21] <^peanut^> barfster: so you have or 16 I mean
[22:21] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: can you see the disk on your desktop ?
[22:21] <hiexpo> peggys_mouse,  exactly likje me i install everything from compiling it so i  would loose everything
[22:22] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: i can see it on nautilus, but i can't access it,
[22:22] <Jordan_U> ilovefairuz: I'd prefer to keep it in channel, especially because I may have to leave (so someone else will have to step in)
[22:22] <^peanut^> barfster: so you could run a few systems. how much ram do you have in total?
[22:22] <barfster> dual quad = 2x 4?
[22:22] <barfster> 15GB
[22:22] <barfster> 16GB
[22:22] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: nvm, just sudo umount /tmp/test
[22:22] <^peanut^> barfster: 4 cores per cpu. if it's a quad cpu
[22:22] <Jordan_U> peggys_mouse: How did you attempt to upgrade?
[22:22] <ilovefairuz> Jordan_U: nvm, wasn't a technical question
[22:22] <gdb> peggys_mouse: You have exactly 30 package conflicts.  Let me read through this some.
[22:22] <peggys_mouse> Jordan_U: update manager
[22:22] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: i was getting this error before this /tmp/test, thats why i came here ;x
[22:23] <peggys_mouse> Jordan_U: update manager wrote that log file
[22:23] <^peanut^> barfster: 15gb, nice ok you could run 8 systems...all depends on what they are going to be used for.
[22:23] <BCMM> ilovefairuz: "flashplugin-nonfree: Depends: flashplugin-installer but it is not going to be installed"
[22:23] <MJB_> Anybody here who can help me find sound drivers for my ubuntu 10.04?
[22:24] <^peanut^> barfster: like, how many cpus per vm, how much memory, etc... what hypervisor are you going to use...
[22:24] <BCMM> ilovefairuz: i should say the first error was "you have held broken packages" while trying to do a dist upgrade
[22:24] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: umount: /tmp/test: device is busy.
[22:24] <peggys_mouse> gdb: a lot of those packages i can easily delete. but what scared me was the linux-image-generic showing up. probably some others i'd be scared to remove
[22:24] <thune3> panka: sounds like you are following basic procedure of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux . grub and grub2 commands are there in step 3. i believe this will work if you point it at the right partition.
[22:24] <AnxiousNut> Why does it take a lot for a browser to look up a domain when using a static IP and loads fast when using DHCP?!
[22:24] <^peanut^> Bax2: make sure to cd / before unmount it
[22:24] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: cd ~; sudo umount /tmp/test
[22:24] <hiexpo> peggys_mouse,  and a lot of things have been left out since 9.10 so they will also be bye bye and all extra repos will be bye bye is what i mean is all thanx also
[22:25] <gdb> peggys_mouse: Of the 30 conflicts you have, upgrade manager resolved 27 of them itself, leaving 3 unresolved.
[22:25] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: still get Not authorized when formatting
[22:25] <Bax2> the same not authorized that i got when i first pluged the pendrive ;/
[22:25] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: did you umount with no error messages ?
[22:26] <Bax2> yes
[22:26] <peggys_mouse> hiexpo, gdb, perhaps i should remove what i feel is safe and come back?
[22:26] <Bax2> umount with no errors
[22:26] <Bax2> and backup files with no erros too
[22:26] <peggys_mouse> gdb: sorry...didn't see your message
[22:26] <peggys_mouse> gdb, which three are unresolved?
[22:26] <gdb> peggys_mouse: I'm working to locate them now.
[22:27] <lenin_> aloooo
[22:27] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: when did you start getting this error?
[22:28] <ilovefairuz> !hi | lenin_
[22:28] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: today, i'd like to add some files, but i couldnt acess the pendrive
[22:28] <Bax2> its saying not authorized
[22:28] <panka> im trying to install ubuntu 10 without cd or usb. i've created a partition on which i have extracted to content of the iso, but im having trouble booting the kernel there from grub.. i assume its isolinux/isolinux.bin i should boot?
[22:28] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: try rebooting the computer
[22:28] <samoy2002> i enabled userdirs for apache, by making softlinks to userdir.conf, and userdir.load within the mods-available dir, however, now my index.html is downloading instead of displaying within the userdirs, anyone have a clue
[22:28] <Bax2> i'll do it
[22:29] <blendmaster1024_> any estimate on how long a 7.4G transfer will take over usb2.0 to a SATA hd?
[22:29] <^peanut^> blendmaster1024_: 10/15 mins? maybe less...

[22:31] <maleldraconis> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS using the windows installer.  I'm wanting to make sure that the boot loader isn't on my windows partition before formatting it to work with Ubuntu.  Is there any way to find that out?
[22:31] <Jordan_U> panka: You probably also want to add the "toram" kernel parameter if you have more than 1.5 GB of RAM. That way the installer won't complain about not being able to unmount the partition with the iso on it.
[22:31] <ilovefairuz> BCMM: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall -f  flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree libasound2-plugins
[22:31] <gdb> peggys_mouse: Sorry, it's 6 packages, and here's the list of what the upgrade tool couldn't solve itself: libempathy-gtk28 libengine-pkcs11-openssl linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic usplash-theme-ubuntu
[22:31] <Bax2> ilovefairuz: it was fixed, u don't know how the FU************* bored i'm now
[22:31] <Bax2> x.x
[22:31] <blendmaster1024_> maleldraconis, erm ... it's not designed to be able to convert like that, IIRC. you're going to have to reinstall the bootloader from the command line. have you done that before? it's not too hard, but it's a wee bit of a pain.
[22:32] <gdb> peggys_mouse: Every other conflict you have was resolved by the upgrade tool.
[22:32] <Jordan_U> maleldraconis: Not only is the bootloader on your windows partition, all of Ubuntu is in a file inside your windows partition.
[22:32] <ilovefairuz> Bax2: please watch your language and it's okay then

[22:34] <Jordan_U> panka: Then follow that guide which has the correct paths.
[22:34] <MrDudle> how do i clear my dns cache
[22:34] <zxs> could someone lend a hand in getting 3 monitors setup on 10.04 - ati 4xxx x2 cards
[22:34] <maleldraconis> I have a USB drive with the install and a CD, but I can't get my netbook to boot from either one, otherwise I would do it that way and say F all to this
[22:35] <MrDudle> maleldraconis: did you change the boot order
[22:35] <maleldraconis> yeah
[22:35] <samoy2002> no i did not change the apache conf files
[22:35] <maleldraconis> it changed the boot order automatically, but I confirmed it before reboot
[22:35] <hiexpo> maleldraconis,  i was gonna say boot order beat me 2 it

[22:35] <BCMM_> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.org/413810
[22:36] <ilovefairuz> maleldraconis: you could install from ISO on harddisk, using alternative ISO

[22:36] <MrDudle> i've had that

[22:38] <Jordan_U> gdb: I can't stay to help peggys_mouse but you should have him try using aptitude to fix the dependency issues as it has more options for resolving broken dependencies than apt-get. Just make sure that aptitude doesn't try to remove everything as it removes packages that were "automatically installed" but the package they were installed as a dependency of has been removed.

[22:39] <Jordan_U> gdb: So if ubuntu-desktop has been removed for instance, aptitude will by default try to uninstall most of the system.
[22:39] <maleldraconis> so I can install from the Alternate ISO on harddisk? how?
[22:39] <m0dmd> anyone know about this.
[22:39] <gdb> Jordan_U: Since it will try to remove any auto-installed packages that do not have a installed dependency, yes.
[22:39] <m0dmd> instead of installing wampserver, i'd like to install ubuntu server in virtual env.
[22:39] <ilovefairuz> maleldraconis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux
[22:40] <ilovefairuz> malcolmci: font face or font dpi ?
[22:40] <gdb> peggys_mouse: Do you have any files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d ?
[22:41] <ilovefairuz> m0dmd: yes it's possible, i do is all time
[22:41] <malcolmci> ilovefairuz: Chromium respects font face, but not font size
[22:41] <ilovefairuz> malcolmci: options > under the hood > web content
[22:42] <malcolmci> ilovefairuz: I'm talking about Chromium's actual control fonts, not the fonts in webpages
[22:42] <peggys_mouse> gdb: several. akirad, mediabuntu, google-chrome and sevenmachines (flash)
[22:42] <ilovefairuz> samoy2002: when you actually save index.html, is it source code or 0 byte file ?
[22:42] <malcolmci> ilovefairuz: i.e., font in the bookmarks bar, tabs, etc
[22:42] <peggys_mouse> gdb: but i unchecked all external sources in the synaptic
[22:43] <gdb> peggys_mouse: are all the deb and deb-src entries commented out in those files then?
[22:43] <samoy2002> ilovefairuz:  i simply pico index.html, insert some random text
[22:43] <Apocryphic> Is something going on?  All of my mini.iso installs are failing on the linux-generic package.
[22:43] <ilovefairuz> malcolmci: you can select gtk theme and then it will match the rest of gnome
[22:43] <maleldraconis> yeah, I'm not so sure I could pull off the non-CD install without giving myself a heart-attack... >.<
[22:43] <ilovefairuz> samoy2002: access it in a browser and save the file, see if there's anything in it
[22:43] <Apocryphic> They were working before, but it's been a few weeks since I needed to install Ubuntu.
[22:44] <SoftwareExplorer> Is there a way to mount a partition, but have the computer translate user id's and group id's ?
[22:44] <peggys_mouse> gdb: some are, some not.
[22:44] <malcolmci> ilovefairuz: as in, use the native titlebar option? That will give it the right font size for the window title, but not for the internal UI fonts like the bookmarks bar and tab headers
[22:44] <peggys_mouse> gdb: maybe i missed something?
[22:44] <trism> Apocryphic: the linux-generic various meta packages have been updated, but the actual packages aren't up yet (or they weren't earlier)
[22:44] <gdb> peggys_mouse: Ah, this may be of interest to you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=827763
[22:44] <gdb> Apocryphic's comment sent me googling.
[22:44] <samoy2002> ilovfairuz: when i open the file, the random text is in the file, it is simply processing as a download, instead of a file to display
[22:44] <gurudrew> I did an unclean shutdown of my ubuntu server
[22:45] <gurudrew> The drive at /dev/sda1 is no longer mounting
[22:45] <ilovefairuz> samoy2002: random text? not the original html tags?
[22:45] <samoy2002> ilovefairuz: i hadnt put any tags into it at this point, let me do that, see if they come through
[22:45] <m0dmd> can i run my ubuntu server for vm and access localhost from the host.
[22:45] <AnxiousNut> Why does my internet connection becomes extremely slow when using static ip instead of DHCP?
[22:46] <Apocryphic> Alright, so no choice but to do a DVD install?
[22:46] <ilovefairuz> malcolmci: options > personal stuff > use gtk+ theme
[22:46] <Apocryphic> Or can I force a different kernel package in the installer?
[22:46] <ilovefairuz> m0dmd: yes you can
[22:46] <Apocryphic> I see where to define it in the seed, but don't know which package to provide. :P
[22:46] <samoy2002> ilovefairuz:  Thank you, when i insert tags it seems to process it differently, it is displaying correct now
[22:47] <m0dmd> Alright. Thank You
[22:47] <barfster> Anyone feel like helping me with making a bootable memory stick of Ubuntu 10.04 MiniCD?
[22:47] <ilovefairuz> samoy2002: well i'm not sure i understand you but glad i've helped!
[22:47] <barfster> I have so far installed grub2, and made a grub entry
[22:48] <ilovefairuz> !unetbootin | barfster
[22:48] <sticky> barfster, there are many tutorials available on the internets
[22:48] <barfster> grub tells me it does not find what it wants
[22:48] <peggys_mouse> gdb: when i run apt-get -y install linux-generic, it says already latest version. no error
[22:48] <MatBoy> wow, encrypted home partition and bittorrent sucks big time
[22:48] <barfster> unetbootin is not an answer to how I can boot an ISO using grub2
[22:48] <samoy2002> ilovefairuz:  i dont understand either, now it is showing files without formatting, so it all seems a bit interesting, but either way, u did help, so thanks

[22:54] <Apocryphic> Is there another metapackage I can use instead of linux-generic, or can I force it to use an older version?

 ill give that a try thanks

[23:07] <osmodivs> I installed Ubuntu 10.04, after that, i uninstalled the PCI sound acrd, the added a PCI WI-FI card, now i hav no sound at all. The built in sound system does not work

[23:09] <hiexpo> ^said
[23:10] <kerebrus> ^peanut^ starndard desktop
[23:11] <kerebrus> ^peanut^ how can I restore what I just screwed up ...
[23:11] <^peanut^> kerebrus: ah ok. not sure. thought about trying out the unr version. I believe the kernel is setup better for netbooks. though, again I could be way off.
[23:11] <hiexpo> sudo apt-get upgrade does upgrade the kernels   has mine anyways for the last 9 months    > unbelievable
[23:11] <jgcampbell300> if i have only 3 or 4 rules listed in UFW are the rest of the ports closed or secured ?
[23:11] <ilovefairuz> tk: gcc --version ?
[23:11] <iceroot> jgcampbell300: they are not handled by the firewall
[23:11] <^peanut^> kerebrus: hmm, go into rescue mode and un-install all those packages it had you install.
[23:11] <tk> ilovefairuz: gcc (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4) 4.3.3
[23:11] <kerebrus> ^peanut^ ive tried the unr it sucked also
[23:11] <kerebrus> ^peanut^ how?
[23:12] <pradeep_> hi
[23:12] <iceroot> jgcampbell300: so open if a program is running there, closed if nothing running there
[23:12] <happyface> how do I get my laptop external usb keyboard media controls to work?
[23:12] <thune3> hiexpo: it never has for me. maybe i have some setting off. they are always kept back
[23:12] <hiexpo> !hi | pradeep_
[23:12] <^peanut^> kerebrus: reboot
[23:12] <jgcampbell300> so if i want to secure my server i should add a rule to deny all ports and then add rules to open the ones i use ?
[23:12] <kerebrus> ^peanut^ what do I press during reboot?
[23:12] <starcoder|Svr> test
[23:12] <^peanut^> jgcampbell300: yes, that's a good standard to follow.
[23:12] <ilovefairuz> tk: running lucid ?
[23:13] <jgcampbell300> ty
[23:13] <^peanut^> kerebrus: oh, good question. one sec
[23:13] <kerebrus> ^peanut^ lol
[23:13] <tk> ilovefairuz: jaunty I do believe was the name on this version (its whats apt sources point to anyways)
[23:13] <peggys_mouse> gdb: don't know if you are still there but that at least got me past the initial error. hopefully, 10.4 can run off the same kernel as 9.10 or the kernel will get updated in the process.
[23:13] <^peanut^> kerebrus: says to hold down the "shift" key

[23:15] <Stameni> when i use split size option in zip command like this zip -s 670m -r foo bar. insted of creating foo file path from bar file path, it creates zip file in current directory with name 670.zip. Why it isn`t working ?

[23:15] <peggys_mouse> gdb: looks like new headers/image are scheduled to install. thanks for your help!
[23:15] <jgcampbell300> so to close all ports would that command look like this ... sudo ufw deny 1-65535
[23:15] <ilovefairuz> tk: apt-get install libc6-dev?
[23:16] <tk> ilovefairuz: Ubuntu 9.10 \n \l (results of cat)

[23:18] <tk> ilovefairuz: http://pastebin.com/F6uaYfp5
[23:18] <thune3> hiexpo: either way, to install packages listed as "kept back" (as is the case with jgcampbell300), the solution is to use 'apt-get dist-upgrade'
[23:18] <^peanut^> kerebrus: he user can interrupt the boot process and display the menu by holding down the SHIFT key until the menu displays. Grub 2 searches for a depressed SHIFT key signal during boot. If the key is pressed or Grub 2 cannot determine the status of the key, the menu is displayed. Note: The "SHIFT" keystatus check is currently nested within in a conditional statement within /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober and

[23:24] <maleldraconis> I have a grub2 question as well..  how can I use it to boot from an external CD drive during pre-boot?
[23:24] <Incarnation> Anyone here know a quick and painless way to download youtube videos?
[23:24] <maleldraconis> I've tried looking at the online docs, but I'm not finding anything
[23:24] <ilovefairuz> tk: should have used an LTS release
[23:24] <CrayonOfDoom> Doing a preseeded install, and during the preseeding, it's installing grub.  When it finishes, grub somehow sets to boot off of /dev/sde1 instead of the correct /dev/sda1.  What could cause this and is there an easy fix to ensure it installs properly without having to tinker with grub after install?
[23:25] <^peanut^> Stameni: hmm, ok let me see
[23:25] <ilovefairuz> Incarnation: yt-download
[23:25] <Jordan_U> maleldraconis: Most BIOSs don't present the CD drive to the bootloader unless you actualy booted from CD.
[23:25] <Incarnation> ilovefairuz: where can I get that?
[23:25] <tk> ilovefairuz: I thought at the time we did download the LTS version
[23:25] <Saturn2888> Anyone know why my Lucid kernel is -generic-pae whereas it used to be -server? I upgraded from Hardy yesterday and noticed my kernel change.
[23:25] <maleldraconis> with it being an external drive, it's not powering up in time to boot from, any other way to fix that?
[23:25] <ilovefairuz> Incarnation: sorry, youtube-dl
[23:25] <ilovefairuz> it's a package
[23:26] <Incarnation> ah okay
[23:26] <visuospatial> Thanks for the link, but I've read the online docs. I have ubuntu lucid on one hdd and win xp on another. os-prober finds win xp and adds it to the grub2 menu, but when i select it i get two errors: no such device and no such partition. Can anyone help?
[23:26] <Jordan_U> maleldraconis: If it's a PATA (IDE) drive then you can work around that with grub's ata.mod.
[23:26] <trism> Saturn2888: there isn't a server kernel anymore, linux-image-server just installs linux-image-generic-pae now

[23:27] <kerebrus> ^peanut^ yup
[23:28] <Saturn2888> trism: ok thanks!
[23:28] <Jordan_U> maleldraconis: Then it's possible that grub's native USB drivers could be used, you won't be able to chainload though.
[23:28] <tk> ilovefairuz: I just checked, the other guy that was setting up our XEN image grabbed the newest at the time, not newest LTS he said

[23:30] <Sebo> but it doesnt work by default with wubi?
[23:31] <kisuke> sebo, yes, if yo uuse wubi

[23:34] <sindegra> ilovefairuz: I'm not sure if that will do it. vbeinfo doesn't give 1024x600 as a possible mode.
[23:34] <Jordan_U> Evolution-X: What problem are you having?
[23:34] <sindegra> I can try it though
[23:34] <^peanut^> Stameni: yes. BUT if you run that command in the dir you want the files to be in, then you'll be all good.
[23:34] <Evolution-X> anyone so far
[23:34] <Evolution-X> do i need that
[23:35] <ilovefairuz> sindegra: use vga=ask and it will prompt you at boot
[23:35] <Evolution-X> i dont want to have a problem and not be able to boot after installing that
[23:35] <kisuke> ok how do i get a driver to load on startup?

[23:36] <Evolution-X> is grub the black screen with the memtest and recovery mode and all that
[23:36] <kisuke> Evolution-X, yes
[23:36] <Jordan_U> visuospatial: Try running "ls -l" in the grub shell at boot and see if your second drive is listed.
[23:36] <MJB_> I need help getting my microphone to work
[23:37] <up_the_irons> trism: that worked great!! thanks!!!
[23:37] <sindegra> ilovefairuz: ah, feck. I have grub2. I have no idea how to get it to work with that.
[23:37] <visuospatial> Jordan_U: thanks, will do.
[23:37] <Stameni> ^peanut^, tnx. But i`m creating a python script for system backup and that complicate things alot :/ i need to find another way so i can process destination paths any directory

[23:38] <kisuke> MJB_, have you done a google search?
[23:38] <sindegra> Joran_U: I did that. didn't get 1024x600 as an option.
[23:38] <sindegra> ilovefairuz: I'll try that.
[23:38] <Stameni> ^peanut^ i dont understand that last command, if outputfiles are zip archives, what is mysplits1.zip and where are input files ? ?
[23:38] <cablop> how can i access windows shared folders with ease? i don't need to automount them on startup, and also i don't need to mount them from shell... i need a graphical way to do it
[23:38] <^peanut^> Stameni: you could have a static path setup with switches to override?
[23:38] <Jordan_U> sindegra: Then you can't get that resolution with VESA.
[23:38] <MJB_> kisuke: yes
[23:38] <MJB_> Nothing
[23:38] <tk> ilovefairuz: did not catch that, but it looks like a clean newer LTS image would be a good move
[23:39] <sindegra> Jordan_U: any other way to force the framebuffer to do 1024x600 then?
[23:39] <ilovefairuz> tk: strangely http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libc6-dev current version is 2.10!
[23:39] <kisuke> MJB_, what did you  search for?
[23:39] <Evolution-X> how can i ignore this update so wont show up on list
[23:39] <ilovefairuz> tk: try switch apt mirrors and update
[23:39] <^peanut^> Stameni: zip -s 1m outputfiles/mysplits1.zip "your files" all output will go into "outputfiles dir" outputfiles is just a dir name, under it all the files 1.x will be under the outputfiles dir.
[23:39] <MJB_> Ubuntu mic not working

[23:40] <kisuke> MJB_, are you using adesktop or a laptop?
[23:40] <sindegra> cablop: get tty to display in 1024x600. Also get links2 -g with directfb to display in 1024x600x32. both seem to be related.
[23:40] <MJB_> kisuke: Laptop
[23:40] <Jordan_U> sindegra: Install proper drivers for your card if they are available. It's not something that can be "forced" to work, just like I can't force you to understand Chinese.

[23:41] <kisuke> MJB_, try googleing <pc model> mic ubuntu
[23:41] <cablop> sindegra: i don't know what is links2 -g but i think you can force your framebuffer at startup
[23:41] <cablop> let me check
[23:41] <kisuke> cablop, -fb at boot i beleve
[23:42] <kisuke> !wifi | IceMaker
[23:42] <kisuke> ok how do i get a driver to load on startup?
[23:42] <sindegra> cablop: don't bother. I know you can configure the framebuffer I just don't know how to make 1024x600 selectable.
[23:43] <IceMaker> kisuke:  thanks going to dig :)
[23:43] <Jordan_U> sindegra: What graphics card?
[23:43] <ilovefairuz> tk: was apt-spy but not available any longer.. seems you have to do it by hand
[23:43] <sindegra> Jordan_U: just what I was figuring out atm, just a sec.
[23:44] <sindegra> Jordan_U: Intel 945GME
[23:44] <maleldraconis> ok, not finding anything on the Grub2 files about using it to boot from an external drives, or using USB drivers or anything like that..
[23:45] <kerebrus> Anyone know what the defualt video driver package for ubuntu desktop is called?
[23:46] <cablop> sindegra: i believe you're booting in a netbook and afaik you're using the default grub2, isn't it?
[23:46] <ilovefairuz> maleldraconis: they are treated like internal hard disk, just different numbers
[23:46] <MJB_> kisuke: No help searching.
[23:46] <kisuke> update-initramfs will include runinig drivers right?
[23:46] <sindegra> cablop: completely correct. asus 1002ha in fact.
[23:46] <visuospatial> Jordan_U: the second hard drive is listed as "Partition table. Filesystem unrecognized"
[23:47] <visuospatial> but there are no partitions listed
[23:47] <Saturn2888> After upgrading to Lucid from Hardy, I tried to boot to my RAID1 and all I get is a blinking cursor after the GRUB screen. I was also getting a status 5 ureadahead error, but that's because /var is on another partition, an lvm in this case. After removing ureadahead, would that let me boot into an OS or would that just get rid of the error and leave me with only the blinking cursor?
[23:47] <Jordan_U> visuospatial: Are you using gpt on either of the drives?
[23:47] <cablop> ok, then you must edit a filer and set the framebuffer from that place
[23:47] <sindegra> Jordan_U: I checked drivers for my gfx card and the result from intel was basically telling me to check the gfx driver from my distro, soooo yeah.
[23:47] <visuospatial> Jordan_U: i'm not sure what that is, so probably not
[23:48] <MJB_> kisuke: any other suggestion? Software I can use that includes all drivers?
[23:48] <IceMaker> hey ppl. need help installing wireless- tp-link wn422g v2 card. please !can`t start working with ubuntu withought net connection :(
[23:48] <Jordan_U> visuospatial: Is one of the drives over two TB large?
[23:48] <visuospatial> Jordan_U: yes, one is a 2 TB drive, so it's listed as larger than 2000 GB
[23:48] <stukad> Hi, how do i get a mouse (mx518) at 500hz instead of the default 125hz ?
[23:48] <psycho_oreos> IceMaker, is this a PCI or USB?
[23:48] <visuospatial> Jordan_U:  that's the ubuntu drive, and it's working fine
[23:49] <kisuke> MJB_, unfourtunatly i kno0w of no "silver bullet" in this case

[23:49] <MJB_> kisuke: Someone here gave me something. An application a while ago that detects drivers.

[23:50]  * er0s is away (=) brb)
[23:50] <kerebrus> Anyone know what the defualt video driver package for ubuntu desktop is called?
[23:50] <psycho_oreos> IceMaker, if the USB device is connected, pastebin the lsusb output
[23:50] <kisuke> !audio | MJB_
[23:50] <visuospatial> Jordan_U: will do. thanks.
[23:51] <ilovefairuz> sindegra: did you try vga=ask ?

[23:51] <stukad> how to change the default 125hz on a usb mouse to 500hz in ubuntu 10.4? (MX518)
[23:51] <IceMaker> psycho_oreos:  i didn`t understand that. i am new to linux
[23:51] <ilovefairuz> kerebrus: lshw
[23:51] <Jordan_U> sindegra: What happens when you try to use the default intel drivers?
[23:52] <visuospatial> Jordan_U: the output for update-grub says "can't read 'part_msdos': No such file or directory
[23:52] <DDwi> ever since the last two kernel updates my keyboard and mouse don't function after the gdm login screen shows, is this a known issue?
[23:52] <Stameni> ^peanut^: i just excluded v from options "zip -s(not sv) 100 -r foo bar" and it work as expected, there is a BUG in "-sv" option. So in the end i don`t need to try your way, thank you anyway !
[23:52] <Utrinqueparatus> is there a way to select all using nano?
[23:52] <j_ayen_green> this is one of those questions where it's hard to figure out where to ask it. I'm running 10.4 under box. I was importing a mysql dump and it hung, and terminal hung, and nothing in ubuntu was clickable, and vbox couldn't shut it down, so I had to kill vbox, and ended up with the ubuntu image being corrupted. i just don't know how to avoid it happening again once I get done rebuilding everything.
[23:52] <Saturn2888> How can I set my system to reboot to initramfs?
[23:52] <psycho_oreos> IceMaker, open up terminal session (gnome-terminal) and type in "lspci" (without quotes) hit enter, copy the data of the output and pastebin it
[23:53] <psycho_oreos> !pastebin | IceMaker
[23:53] <Jordan_U> visuospatial: Add "insmod part_msdos" on a new line at the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom, not the beginning.
[23:53] <kerebrus> ilovefairuz is lshw a command to show you the drivers?
[23:53] <visuospatial> Jordan_U: yeah, i just realized i overwrote the whole 40_custom file. any way i can regenerate it?
[23:54] <ilovefairuz> kerebrus: yes
