[17:24] <jgb> ociredeF: paste the output of dmesg | tail         in a pastebin
[17:24] <kuttan_> ve2,,, set the verbose in grub entry for relavant kernel & see what it shows
[17:24] <ve2dmn> kuttan_: I only have a black screen... :/
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  that looks more like soem vlc issue.. not a codec issue.. but im using 10.04 here. new install.. vlc 1.0.6  + ubuntu restricted extas/w32codecs and the 2 avi in that rar both play
[17:25] <abhi_nav> Lalitha, dont know the solution. but try empathy im client
[17:25] <Lalitha> abhi_nav, Pidgin appears beautiful than empathy :P (or i do not know how to make empathy appear good. :P )
[17:25] <jgb> ociredeF: sorry, missed that line
[17:25] <kuttan_> yup , ve2.... so set vga=ask verbose .. . give a very low value to vga ..
[17:25] <abhi_nav> Lalitha, hmm
[17:25] <amanita> Dr_Willis im pretty sure that is a vlc issue. And thats what i really want to solve, couse i think vlc would play my .wmv files just fine
[17:25] <ve2dmn> kuttan_:  didn't think about that.. thanks
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  totem does not play them properly
[17:26] <kuttan_> ve2xxx no probs .. hope you get it working ..
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  make a new user.. see if it works for them
[17:26] <amanita> Dr_Willis, no
[17:26] <amanita> Dr_Willis, already did. =/
[17:26] <ve2dmn> kuttan_: I have to... It's sort of my job...
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  vlc works here, totem - has flashing bars.. lets try.. mplayer
[17:26] <ociredeF> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/6xtzdWXC but I did  jgb
[17:26] <jgb> ociredeF: ok so it's /dev/sdb, do sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb and see what partitions you have on it
[17:27] <stercor> Thanks to all for the -geometry option.  It's working perfectly, and I learned something.
[17:27] <moogler> does anyone here use tint2?
[17:27] <kuttan_> ve2xxx... ahhmm interesting
[17:27] <jgb> ociredeF: it's probably just /dev/sdb1
[17:27] <amanita> Dr_Willis mlpayer gives me this error:  error opening/iniatilizing  the selected video_out (-vo) device
[17:27] <less> stercool: that is kewl.
[17:27] <Jordan_U> subuntu: I don't have time to help further, and I haven't had to manually mess with xorg.conf in ages :)
[17:27] <less> s/cool/cor/
[17:27] <amanita> Dr_willis after mplayer gives me this error, it plays only the audio
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  you ahve to set the defauilt video out first.. it stupidly defaults to  some weird thing.. instead of xv
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> try -vo xv
[17:27] <kuttan_> who so ever wrote xwininfo wins ..
[17:28] <amanita> Dr_Willis let me see!
[17:28] <subuntu> Jordan_U: ok, thx for your help
[17:28] <Jordan_U> subuntu: ##linux May have some old timers that still remember that ancient black magic :)
[17:28] <jgb> ociredeF: then sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tmp
[17:28] <subuntu> Jordan_U: haha
[17:28] <amanita> Dr_Willis i have to set this at mplayer?
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> I normally set it with the gui in gmplayer or smplayer
[17:28] <kuttan_> how so ever hard I am trying to appreciate work done by empathy developers .. got to go back to pidgin..
[17:29] <jgb> ociredeF: that will always work, now you can look for a way to fix ubuntu to mount it automatically... maybe you'll have to edit fstab, not sure how it's currently done
[17:30] <amanita> haahaah
[17:30] <amanita> Dr_Willis dude, awesome!
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  mplayer dont like it either.. thast must be some weird codec.. it does some sound, then starts skipping
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  did it finally work?
[17:30] <amanita> Dr_Willis i've just seted to Xv at mplayer
[17:30] <steev> hey all, i'm trying to connect a bluetooth mouse and keyboard to my Ubuntu 10.04 system.  Keyboard is a Logitech MX5000 and the mouse is the Logitech MX 1000.  For a bit, I was prompted to grant/deny access to some random service, but it would just do that whenever I moved the mouse
[17:31] <phoenix_> does mounting of drives take up system resources?
[17:31] <amanita> Dr_Willis yup! Great! A tiny problem, and so annoying...
[17:31] <steev> if I use blueman-assistant, then when I try to pair the mouse up... it prompts me to enter the passkey on the mouse...
[17:31] <amanita> Dr_Willis thanks a lot!
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  no idea why vlc dont like it.. weird.
[17:31] <kralyk> HI... (sry for off-topic but) Is there someone from NORWAY around? ;-)
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> mplayer here dont like it. :) well smplayer
[17:31] <ociredeF> mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[17:31] <ociredeF>  jgb
[17:31] <amanita> Dr_Willis vlc isnt running here.
[17:31] <steev> all the posts about bluetooth that I find on the Ubuntu forums seem to be from around 2007
[17:32] <amanita> Dr_Willis vlc dont start. Isnt a codec problem, its a vlc issue.
[17:32] <jgb> ociredeF: what do you see when you do sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb ?
[17:32] <inx-live> steev: if you just try one or the other - keyboard alone or mouse alone, do either work?
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  check google for info on that codec perhaps.
[17:33] <ociredeF> jfatal error from hell press any key or world will collide
[17:33] <amanita> Dr_Willis no, no... The VLC isnt working. The program dont start up.
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  ffprobe says the video is ---->  Stream #0.0: Video: camtasia, rgb555, 800x600, 15 tbr, 15 tbn, 15 tbc
[17:33] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  ive never seen a camtasia codec.. may be some screen shot thing
[17:33] <steev> inx-live: i haven't tried just the keyboard yet - they are currently working fine on the windows machine next to it - and when I plug the dongle into the ubuntu box, I get the polkit prompt to grant/deny - when i hit grant, what i see in the syslog is "HUP or ERR on socket"
[17:33] <hotfloppy> guys.. after finished copy my /home to another partition (to use as new /home), do i need to issue chown right away.. or after rebooting ?
[17:33] <zus> whats up with ubutnu within the past 24 hours?! im getting error when updating,  some compiz feature like a magnifing window would pop up with  super m, now a small menu drops down from under the enevlope up top.... gnome DO with super space isnt working as of 10 minutes ago,....it's always  something......
[17:34] <amanita> Dr_Willis no dude, my vlc isnt working, understand?
[17:34] <inx-live> amanita: where did you get that?
[17:34] <nixbox> I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.04, when i get to the partition step, there is no entry in the table and all buttons are disbaled, doing an fdisk /dev/sda (on a console) shows partitions, what is the problem?
[17:34] <amanita> inx-live that what?
[17:34] <erUSUL> hotfloppy: if you moved it correctly you shouldn't need to chown ...
[17:34] <jgb> ociredeF: it should look like http://pastebin.com/TFK5sLKG , does the disk work on other computers?
[17:34] <erUSUL> !search home
[17:34] <erUSUL> !separatehome | hotfloppy
[17:34] <inx-live> steev: which version ubuntu?
[17:34] <ociredeF> jgb: it doesn
[17:34] <ociredeF> doesn't sorry
[17:34] <subuntu> Dr_Willis: Jordan_U is suggesting that i may need to edit an xorg.conf file, is that something you might be able to help with?  or anybody?  trying to get my friends installation up and running.
[17:34] <jgb> ociredeF:  it doesn't work on other computers?
[17:35] <drizzt_> hotfloppy, gdm will kick you if your home has wrong permissions
[17:35] <ociredeF> nope, it doesn't
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  im still trying to figure out why you said it was a wmv.. when i got a .avi .....
[17:35] <ociredeF> and it was actually my backup disk
[17:35] <jgb> ociredeF: is it a new disk, or do you need to recover data from it?
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  can vlc play ANything else at all?
 so long as you have root password & root access has been enabled by you .. there is no problem
[17:35] <steev> inx-live: 10.04
[17:35] <Pici> !noroot | kuttan hotfloppy
[17:35] <ociredeF> if I was able to recover it's contnt, that would make me really happy
[17:35] <amanita> Dr_Willis maybe couse the link i give to u was a diferent source of mine.
[17:36] <inx-live> steev: you have fully updated?
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  could be they have differnt links/downloads depending on the browser you are browsing the site with also.
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  you downloaded the thing originally in windows?
[17:36] <hotfloppy> Pici: didnt asked about root password
 <ubottu> I agree , but not harm in informing .. no blasphemy :P
[17:36] <amanita> Dr_Willis yup, couse i'd to search again. No, i downloaded originally at ubuntu.
[17:37] <steev> inx-live: should be
[17:37] <amanita> Dr_Willis i'd to go to windows for make sure that the video was ok.
[17:37] <Pici> hotfloppy: kuttan suggested it to you, I was just making sure that you both knew that it wasn't supported ;)
[17:37] <hotfloppy> erUSUL: but i just moved my /home just now and i got an error and my /home/hotfloppy got owned by root..
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  well that rar did have a bad file in it.. so  its hard to tell whats going on. at least now you can watch that Exciteing video about the linux kernel.
[17:37] <hotfloppy> Pici: yeah.. thanks ;)
[17:37]  * Dr_Willis hands amanita  some no-doze
[17:37] <inx-live> steev: did you say this was a laptop?  if so, does it have bluetooth builtin?
[17:38] <amanita> hahaha
[17:38] <amanita> oh yeah
[17:38] <jgb> ociredeF: first things first, how big is the disk? do you have space to copy the whole thing to?
[17:38] <jgb> ociredeF: and please prefix your questions with my nick, so I can spot it easily
[17:38] <erUSUL> hotfloppy: then you need the chown ... ( note i said *if* you moved it correctly )
[17:38] <hotfloppy> erUSUL: i followed the instruction on psychocat strictly..
[17:38] <amanita> Dr_Willis but i dont have problem to run the files, my problem with vlc is other issue... The VLC dont start, isnt running.
[17:38] <erUSUL> hotfloppy: boot into recovery mode to do the chown
[17:38] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  even just by itself it dont run eh?  not trying to play a file
[17:38] <subuntu> Dr_Willis: a question that just occured to me ... is it possible to use a livecd to edit and work on an underlying installed os?
[17:38] <ociredeF> jgb: it's not that big, it's 20 GB or something, and I am not interested in the whole content
[17:39] <amanita> Dr_Willis i think i cant make myself clear... The software VLC isnt starting the interface.
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> subuntu:  of course.
[17:39] <amanita> Dr_Willis not even by itself.
[17:39] <hotfloppy> erUSUL: already done the chown part just now.. in normal boot mode..
[17:39] <Dr_Willis> amanita:  that is weird then.. You havent been upgrading any thing from  unofficial sites have you?
[17:39] <inx-live> amanita: did you download VLC from repos?
[17:39] <erUSUL> hotfloppy: ok, good luck
 No hard feelings .. :P
[17:39] <amanita> Dr_Willis no, i've downloaded from ubuntu sources... When i start it from the terminal i got this: http://pastebin.com/jmUCZktq
[17:40] <amanita> inx-live yup, from the official repositories...
[17:40] <steev> inx-live: no, it is a desktop system, using the logitech Bluetooth 2.0 EDR dongle (came with the set)
[17:40] <hotfloppy> erUSUL: i just want to know when you we do the chown.. straight away after moving /home or after rebooting ?
[17:40] <amanita> inx-live and then i got this http://pastebin.com/jmUCZktq
[17:40] <jgb> ociredeF: the proper way to do it is to dd the whole image to another disk and work on that. if it isn't that important, you can just run your recovery software directly on the disk. YMMV. you can try foremost first. it's in the repo's
[17:40] <erUSUL> hotfloppy: it should not matter
[17:40] <kuttan> hotfloppy: Just take a backup of your home dir ..
[17:40] <erUSUL> !undelete
[17:41] <subuntu> Dr_Willis: is that an option for this particular monitor problem?  cause as it is i have no monitor.
[17:41] <hotfloppy> ociredeF: you can try testdisk or photorec.. nice tools
[17:41] <inx-live> steev: in a terminal what do you see with "lsusb"
[17:41] <Dr_Willis> subuntu:  if a live cd works.. you can chroot into an installed system and do things with it. depending on the problems.
[17:41] <ociredeF> jgb sorry, I am not following you... do i need to download something?
[17:41] <jgb> ociredeF: no
[17:42] <jgb> ociredeF: sudo apt-get install foremost
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> Bed time for me. Night all.
[17:42] <jgb> ociredeF: what type of files do you want to recover?
[17:42] <subuntu> Dr_Willis: yes the livecd workd on this, i used it to install .. din't have the prob till i installed the nvidea proprietary drivers
[17:42] <inx-live> amanita: I would uninstall VLC and grap it from the videolan website
[17:42] <ociredeF> jgb: mostly music, videos and some bookmarks and stuff
[17:43] <hotfloppy> erUSUL, kuttan : thanks..
[17:43] <boing> how can i enable the cube to function
[17:43] <Administrator_> .
[17:43] <sec-r1z> guys yesterday i was talking with some guys about the bug in 10.04 which make the distro hangs for seconds i think it fixed now "aptitude update && aptitude dist-upgrade" :-D
[17:43] <ociredeF> anyways, I am kind of set right now... I installed the whole OS again, I guess if it's not possible to access the files I would like to at least format it to make it usable again
[17:44] <jgb> ociredeF: I would advise you to do  dd if=/dev/sdb conv=sync,noerror bs=64K of=/home/username/brokendisk.dd   first
[17:44] <carneiro> skeeter101: u there ?
[17:45] <joshua_roberts> where are login screen themes and other themes stored in Ubuntu?  I am just wondering because as I download new ones I would like to keep them all in one place.
[17:46] <ociredeF> dd: opening `/dev/sdb': No such file or directory
[17:46] <joshua_roberts> anyone have an idea?
[17:46] <TheGiantMoa> I have a quick question. Whenever I plug my netbook in (Running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) the screen goes black and I have to press a button or move my mouse for it to come back and from there it requires me to log back in. Any idea how to disable this?
[17:46] <steev> inx-live: i'm giving up for now - i got it seemingly working - the keyboard itself says connected on the lcd, but as soon as the assistant closes, the keyboard doesn't work anymore - and rather than throw the keyboard out the window, ill just keep using it on my windows box
[17:46] <hotfloppy> joshua_roberts: check on /usr/share/theme .. i think they should be in there..
[17:46] <Wavesonics> what package do i need for doing network shares?
[17:47] <carneiro>   Wavesonics : samba server
[17:47] <ociredeF> jgb: dd: opening `/dev/sdb': No such file or directory
[17:47] <jgb> ociredeF: you sound kinda screwed... take the disk out and put it back in, and see what  dmesg | tail  says... then try dd again.
[17:47] <sec-r1z> Wavesonics: aptitude search samba
[17:47] <gui1> hi, i need some help with installing a LOGITECH QuickCam Pro 9000
[17:47] <drizzt_> which package provides keyboard switcher in notification area??
[17:47] <hotfloppy> TheGiantMoa: try disabling your screensaver.. or the lock screen on screensaver preferences..
[17:48] <TheGiantMoa> okay, I'll try
[17:48] <hotfloppy> TheGiantMoa: havent use 10.04 yet :)
[17:48] <om26er> abhi_nav, you were facing empathy small fonts issue?
[17:48] <m_v> anyone have a problem with Flash where it stops playing/functioning (blanks out) and requires a page refresh to get back?
[17:48] <frankk> Can someone help I hope? I have an Epson Workforce 600 printer that I just bought. I set it up to work via WiFi. The printer works great, but I can't get it to scan. I've been going crazy for 2 days now reading every post on the Internet. I got it to start scanning but it jams in the middle of the scan.
[17:48] <abhi_nav> om26er, yes how you know?
[17:49] <carneiro> m_v: try removing gnash
[17:49] <carneiro> m_v: install flash using synaptic
[17:49] <SpyderBite> frankk: Jamming? Did you try scanning from a windows or mac machine to make sure it wasn't the scanner?
[17:49] <hotfloppy> abhi_nav: om26er hacked you ! lol..
[17:49] <joshua_roberts> hotfloppy thanks will do
[17:50] <m_v> carneiro: thanks, in that order?
[17:50] <abhi_nav> hotfloppy, :)
[17:50] <carneiro> m_v:  yes
[17:50] <om26er> abhi_nav, I hang there. the problem is fixed in maverick and there is a patched version you can get it https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/531835/comments/20
[17:50] <ociredeF> jgb: same thing
[17:50] <abhi_nav> om26er, you mean i have to install new version of empathy for that?
[17:50] <ociredeF> is there at least a way to keep this disk usable or should i throw it to the garbage?
[17:50] <om26er> abhi_nav, just the theme
[17:50] <hotfloppy> joshua_roberts: welcome..
[17:51] <carneiro> m_v: make sure there is no other flash plugin installed and then try installing flash player from synaptic
[17:51] <subuntu> heeeeeellllllllp! i installed 9.10 for my friend (and wiped her xp), and now i don't have any screen.  after i installed nvidia drivers and restarted monitor black, message says 'out of range'
[17:51] <JyZyXEL> can ubuntu do cryptmount installation?

[17:51] <abhi_nav> om26er, thanks
[17:51] <JyZyXEL> fully encrypted ubuntu installation, is it supported?
[17:51] <om26er> abhi_nav, np :)
[17:52] <abhi_nav> om26er, and why #empathy people dont point me to here?
[17:52] <om26er> abhi_nav, they dont know
[17:53] <OllyO> I need some help getting the latest version of VLC ... Am I in the right place?
[17:53] <Wavesonics> I grabbed the Samba package, but still cant setup file sharing
[17:53] <abhi_nav> om26er, why? then you tell them naa? its really useful
[17:53] <Wavesonics> whatelse do i need?
[17:53] <steffan> Wavesonics: did you read !samba?
[17:53] <carneiro> Wavesonics:  u need to edit smb.conf
[17:54] <carneiro> Wavesonics: there are enuff examples in smb.conf for u to configure network shares ..
[17:54] <shoopdawoop> JyZyXEL: yes you can use LVM with LUKS to encrypt your hdd
[17:54] <om26er> abhi_nav, or we could try to get it fixed in Lucid too.
[17:54] <frankk> SpyderBite: I didn't try on a windows machine
[17:54] <sn1988> any1 know how to use chroot with internet access... Im trying to repair an existing ubuntu with a live cd, but when I chroot the mounted device it wont use internet :/
[17:54] <JyZyXEL> shoopdawoop: but at what point does the installation ask that?
[17:54] <JyZyXEL> im now that the preparing partitions stage???!
[17:54] <abhi_nav> om26er, ok
[17:54] <Spock> thats cool you guys hide chanserv
[17:55] <m_v> carneiro: looks like gnash isn't installed out of the box, do you recommend just uninstalling and reinstalling flash through synaptic? last install was via apt-get
[17:55] <shoopdawoop> JyZyXEL: I am not sure if the standard installation is giving you that option
[17:55] <ociredeF> so... jgb... is there a way to save my soul?
[17:55] <carneiro> m
[17:55] <JyZyXEL> shoopdawoop: ok so which installation gives that then?
[17:55] <carneiro> m_v: yes i did that on 10.04 ... it worked ...
[17:56] <shoopdawoop> JyZyXEL: the alternate install CD and the netboot install do
[17:56] <blockcold> hi bazhang
[17:56] <shoopdawoop> JyZyXEL: I just googled and found this http://kuparinen.org/martti/comp/ubuntu/en/cryptolvm.html
[17:56] <JyZyXEL> i need to download a whole new installation CD for that? u_u
[17:56] <foxlover> Hey, I've VirtualBox OSE 3.1.6 installed here. I added the new Oracle repositories in my Synaptic. Could I install the new VirtualBox now or I need to uninstall my version before?
[17:56] <_KAMI_> Ma, kissé szkeptikusan, a téli kabátomban mentem dolgozni. Nem bántam meg, egy pillanatig sem fáztam, áztam. Így a nyár közepén ez egy meglepő fordulat.
[17:57] <LjL> !hu | _KAMI_
[17:57] <JyZyXEL> doesn
[17:57] <guzu> hello all
[17:57] <JyZyXEL> doesn't the standard install cd contain alternate installer?
[17:58] <abhi_nav> om26er, I really appreciate your work. I am now using pidgin. please drop me a memoser when this fix get officialy fixed in empathy. Please Please dont get me wrong. I hope you understand. :)
[17:58] <guzu> how can i install grub to mbr? (10.04 , after install)
[17:58] <abhi_nav> memoserve*
[17:58] <drizzt_> does wine have irc channel?
[17:58] <hotfloppy> JyZyXEL: no, they're not..
[17:58] <JyZyXEL> are you serious
[17:58] <abhi_nav> drizzt_, #winehq
[17:58] <frankk> SpyderBite: I read online where people were having the same problem. Most of the posts I read were from 2008, and they were running 8.04
[17:58] <JyZyXEL> how do i apt-get the alternate installer then
[17:59] <hotfloppy> JyZyXEL: you have to download alternate cd iso from ubuntu site..
[17:59] <LjL> JyZyXEL: ehm... you don't? o_O to get the alternate installer, you download the alternate CD.
[17:59] <drizzt_> which package provides keyboard switcher in notification area??
[17:59] <JyZyXEL> no im not doing that since i already have a standard ubuntu installer cd all booted up and ready
[17:59] <om26er> abhi_nav, sure :)
[17:59] <LjL> JyZyXEL: then why do you want the alternate installer?
[17:59] <abhi_nav> om26er, ohh. Thanks friend!! :)
[17:59] <JyZyXEL> cause i wanna do encrypted installation
[18:00] <JyZyXEL> apparrently the desktop installer doesn't do that
[18:00] <chris8> Hey room--is it possible to install only the default network manager off a boot disc? or am I looking at a full reinstall? please don't ask what happened to my network manager :P
[18:00] <SpyderBite> frankk: the only reason I asked is cause if the scanner is physically jamming then that sounds more like a hardware vs. software problem. Only way to verify is to try scanning on another machine and try to duplicate the problem. If it works.. then you're right.. its an OS issue. If not, you saved yourself more time troubleshooting in the wrong place.
[18:00] <carneiro> skeeter101:  problem resolved ?
[18:00] <LjL> JyZyXEL: the doc says: Ubuntu 9.04 extended the Encrypted Private directory technology to actually cover the entire home directory. Ubuntu 9.04 users should add the boot option "user-setup/encrypt-home=true" to the kernel boot parameters when installing from the Desktop CD. If installing from the Alternate or Server CD, the option will always appear. The user will be asked if they want to encrypt their home directory.
[18:01] <shoopdawoop> JyZyXEL: well you could do it with the standard live CD. but it's not an option you can just click on, instead you would have to do it manually. so if you can not do it manually, get the alternate install cd
[18:01] <JyZyXEL> no i wanna encrypt the whole OS
[18:01] <JyZyXEL> shoopdawoop: yes i wanna do it manually
[18:02] <ociredeF> hey guys, I got a prob
[18:02] <shoopdawoop> JyZyXEL: then google it, there's a lot of info
[18:02] <ociredeF> I got a usb hard drive that computers won't even recognize
[18:02] <ociredeF> it's screwed... computers won't even recignize it... is there a way to format it and make it usable again?
[18:02] <JyZyXEL> google what
[18:02] <JyZyXEL> how am i supposed to google how to start alternate install from desktop ubuntu cd
[18:02] <carneiro> ociredeF: is it hardware issue ?
[18:03] <hotfloppy> JyZyXEL: try downloading the alternate cd from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download
[18:03] <LjL> JyZyXEL: he's not telling you to google how to start the alternate installer from the desktop cd, because that is *not possible*. he's telling you to google how to encrypt your filesystem manually. the first result of that googling will likely be https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto
[18:03] <Lord_Rahl> ociredeF, does it show up if you do a 'lsusb' in the term
[18:03] <chris8> help please--is it possible to reinstall only certain programs off a boot disc?
[18:03] <Jordan_U> !google | shoopdawoop
[18:03] <BusterBFMC> I have a question about Skype recognizing my headset on Lucid, has anyone encountered this?
[18:03] <SmokeyD> how can I launch a command as a user that doesn't have a valid shell (the way daemons are sometimes launched)
[18:03] <hotfloppy> JyZyXEL: forgive me if i'm giving the wrong address.. i just order the cd due to limited bandwidth usage..
[18:03] <guzu> chris8, dpkg -i ?
[18:04] <JyZyXEL> LjL: its gonna be pretty darn hard after the installation
[18:04] <SmokeyD> There is a daemon that is doing stuff on my server, and I just want to test it out
[18:04] <knxville> Do anyone know how I get Elementary Theme?
[18:04] <chris8> guzu: it's the network manager i'm trying to reinstall :/ don't ask
[18:04] <guzu> chris8, ok
[18:04] <LjL> SmokeyD: sudo -s -u username
[18:04] <shoopdawoop> Jordan_U: he said he wants to do it manually instead of using the alternate cd. if he can not use google, he can not do it manually. so it was a safeguard. thank you
[18:04] <LjL> SmokeyD: or just sudo -u username <command>
[18:05] <SmokeyD> LjL: ah, ok, thanks
[18:05] <JesusMcCloud-lt> i am force to use 2.6.34 on lucid because of my touchpad and i am looking for the ureadahed patch to build a custom .34 kernel with ureadahed support
[18:05] <chris8> or is that some awesome command that finds a copy of default programs on my HD? :P
[18:05] <ociredeF> Lord_Rahl: this is what I get http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/qR2UvQjS
[18:05] <LjL> JyZyXEL: probably. the alternative is obtaining the Alternate or Minimal CD.
[18:05] <JesusMcCloud-lt> knxville, http://ppa.launchpad.net/elementaryart/elementarydesktop/ubuntu <your version here> main
[18:06] <JyZyXEL> is there an alternative netinstall cd?
[18:06] <chris8> Guzu: actually i never removed the default network manager, but when i removed Wicd i seem to have no network manager running...
[18:06] <Jordan_U> JyZyXEL: The alternative, minimal, and netinstall CDs all use the same installer.
[18:06] <knxville> JesusMcCloud-lt: thanks alot mate
[18:06] <JesusMcCloud-lt> nP
[18:07] <JyZyXEL> where do i even find those installers
[18:07] <foxlover> Hey, I've VirtualBox OSE 3.1.6 installed here. I added the new Oracle repositories in my Synaptic. Could I install the new VirtualBox now or I need to uninstall my version before?
[18:07] <Xecuter> hi! I've searched everywhere for the language settings, but still ardour is using another language than english or norwegian! how come?
[18:07] <Lord_Rahl> ociredeF, I do not see a usb anything in there except IMC but that a network apt I think
[18:07] <chrowe> I am trying to install 10.04 on my Acer Aspire 1410 from the standard CD download and it keeps hanging
[18:07] <LjL> JyZyXEL: it's the minimal CD.
[18:07] <LjL> !minimal > JyZyXEL    (JyZyXEL, see the private message from ubottu)
[18:07] <hotfloppy> JyZyXEL: i think this is what you want -> http://tw.releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso
[18:07] <ociredeF> it shows what I sent you from the pastebin
[18:07] <taiyal> wht's with ~/.gvfs and why can't root do anything to it?
[18:08] <JyZyXEL> no thats not
[18:08] <chris8> Hey room, after removing Wicd, i have no network manager running on my lappy; how do I get the default manager up and running?
[18:08] <hotfloppy> JyZyXEL: sorry if thats not :)
[18:08] <JyZyXEL> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso

[18:08] <BusterBFMC> Question, would asking about Skype be off topic?
[18:08] <hotfloppy> good boy :P
[18:08] <LjL> MarkDude: ?
[18:08] <ociredeF> Lord_Rahl then as I said... it can't find it
[18:08] <ociredeF> is there a way?
[18:09] <MarkDude> If you like loud music - Jono Bacon will be live at noon talking about new stuff with his band Severed Fifth
[18:09] <LjL> MarkDude: please don't spam
[18:09] <MarkDude> Not spamming - Jono is the head of the Ubuntu Community
[18:09] <Pici> MarkDude: Thats still not Ubuntu related.
[18:09] <Lord_Rahl> ociredeF, Yes, i see it. I dont see any USB drive. is there a led on it to show it plug in?
[18:09] <MarkDude> My bad, sry
[18:09] <ociredeF> yes, there's a led
[18:09] <frankk> SpyderBite: Thanks, I'll check that out!
[18:09] <gui1> hi, i need help with my camera's integrated microphone, i can't get it to work on skype, does any one have faced this problem

[18:10] <MarkDude> Jordan_U, oops you are right, wrong channel. This place is for fixing stuff, not loud stuff, sorry folks
[18:11] <abhi_nav> om26er, may I pm you?
[18:11] <[DarkSun]> ok, noob question here, ubuntu 10.04,  how can i get openssh to start on boot?
[18:11] <BusterBFMC> Question, is there any apps that will help Lucid with sound devices and set up
[18:11] <Lord_Rahl> ociredeF, If it does not show in their the kernel does not see it to mount it. does it work in windows or mac
[18:11] <Pici> [DarkSun]: Install it.  It will start at boot by default.
[18:11] <om26er> abhi_nav, sure
[18:11] <[DarkSun]> pici, i did, it didnt
[18:11] <Pici> [DarkSun]: How did you install it?
[18:11] <[DarkSun]> via the gui package manager
[18:12] <solar_george> [DarkSun] make sure it is the server package apt://openssh-server
[18:12] <Jordan_U> [DarkSun]: Did you install openssh-server?
[18:12] <BlaDe> Hi guys, i'm getting: FastCgiIpcDir /var/lib/apache2/fastcgi: access for server (uid 1001, gid 1001) failed: write not allowe
[18:12] <Pici> [DarkSun]: What does    service ssh status   report?
[18:12] <BlaDe> does anyone know the cause?
[18:12] <[DarkSun]> 1 sec, not at that pc atm
[18:13] <dope_> hallo
[18:14] <Jordan_U> guzu: To install grub2 from a liveCD see: grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[18:14] <Lord_Rahl> BlaDe, I believe that folder is owned by www-data, you are trying to write to it with a user does not have permission
[18:15] <deryl> 1;2c1;2c1;2c1;2c/quit restarting client
[18:15] <Lord_Rahl> BlaDe, you can add that user to the www-data group. Google groupadd
[18:15] <thune3> ociredeF: does the end of dmesg or /var/log/messages show any kernel activity regarding you drive. And have you tried a different USB port. (if this is a external hdd, does it have external power?)
[18:16] <BusterBFMC> I have a question please, can anyone help he with a Skype issue that I have?

[18:17] <ronaldo__> any help here...
[18:17] <Zikker> hi
[18:17] <ronaldo__> zikker hi
[18:17] <rafael> i want  to know user kismet
[18:17] <angelete2> i have two disks, and i've created a raid1 volume
[18:17] <BusterBFMC> Thank you, I can not get Skype to recognize my USB headset
[18:17] <ronaldo__> i want to know zikker
[18:17] <hotfloppy> ronaldo__: just ask if you got a question..
[18:18] <angelete2> and i've also created a lvm volume over this raid
[18:18] <kostkon> BusterBFMC, install the PulseAudio Device Chooser utility
[18:18] <solar_george> BusterBFMC right click on your volume icon and select sound preferences
[18:18] <angelete2> i've added my lvm volume to my fstab file
[18:18] <Zikker>  hi guys ive got a problem, can any Ubuntu program broadcast by rtsp?
[18:18] <Lord_Rahl> cat /etc/passwd and look for the name:x:1001
[18:18] <BusterBFMC> Thank you very much people!
[18:18] <angelete2> and now i can't boot my computer
[18:18] <kostkon> BusterBFMC, start skype, then open the pulseaudio volume control and set a input device for skyoe
[18:18] <angelete2> i get ureadahead-other main process terminated with status 4 and it gets hung
[18:19] <BlaDe> ok thanks lord
[18:19] <angelete2> if i comment the line in fstab file, everything goes well
[18:19] <BusterBFMC> Thank you for your expertise :)
[18:19] <Lord_Rahl> BlaDe, np
[18:19] <Aggrav8d> hi!  i started up my server today and i'm getting "/dev/sda1 contains a file system with errors. swapon failed." then it does a disk check, then it loads the system in read-only.
[18:19] <Aggrav8d> what do i do to fix this?
[18:20] <sn1988> what can I do against this error sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu, when I actually mounting an existing system and I made it with resolv.conf to access internet :/
[18:20] <Aggrav8d> oh, and it doesn't appear to fix the bugs
[18:20] <durt> Aggrav8d, does it not instruct you to run fsck manually?
[18:21] <Xecuter> how  do i remove a language from env?
[18:21] <Aggrav8d> nope.  does it as part of mountall on startup
[18:21] <Aggrav8d> fsck is reporting the errors, i think, and then faililng to fix them.
[18:21] <Vigo> angelete2: Dual Boot?
[18:21] <Aggrav8d> duplicate or bad blocks in use, multiply claimed blocks, assuming drive cache: write through.
[18:22] <Aggrav8d> fsck terminated with status 4
[18:22] <gui1> does any one know how to enable a microphone on ubuntu?
[18:22] <Aggrav8d> now i'm running it manually
[18:22] <solar_george> sn1988 you need to add the hostname ubuntu to the /etc/hosts of the existing system on the same line as its old hostname
[18:22] <shoopdawoop> sn1988: add the line '<IP_ADDRESS> ubuntu' to your /etc/hosts
[18:22] <[DarkSun]> problem fixed, was my fault, no coffee makes me something something
[18:23] <Aggrav8d> is there a way to run fsck with a progress meter so i have some idea it hasn't crashed?
[18:23] <Pici> [DarkSun]: go crazy?  I mean, good to hear you got it working.
[18:23] <solar_george> gui1 what program are you trying to use the microphone in?
[18:23] <[DarkSun]> Pici, yea.. we re-did our subnetting yesterday
[18:23] <sn1988> thanks, can I add it temporarily via terminal via "hostname <IP_ADDRESS> ubuntu" or do I have to edit the file? btw, the hosts file on mounted system or "live system"
[18:23] <[DarkSun]> and genious me forgot that, so....yea :/
[18:24] <gui1> solar_george, thanks for replying, any program, lets say sound recorder
[18:24] <durt> Aggrav8d, ya, man fsck for the right switch.
 how can I enable autofsck in ubuntu like rhel
[18:24] <Error404NotFound> how can i covert a putty generated key to standard linux pair of keys of the form priv_key and pub_key.pub
 you could just change the hostname of the live system to that of your existing one using the hostname command
[18:24] <Aggrav8d> [DarkSun] - i think you spelled that wrong.  genious is how you describe a person who is really helpful.
[18:25] <durt> kuttan, IIRC, it's set to 24 or 26 mounts.
[18:25] <solar_george> gui1 well I assume you've tried and it doesn't work?
[18:25]  * Aggrav8d does not troll very well
[18:25] <Phylock> any good wine frontends out there to easy creation, prefix etc
[18:25] <alpha_> One in five boots make me have to run fsck because the system time is wrong (it thinks it is 2007 or something). Why is this so?
[18:25] <dope_> helo no german chat????
[18:25] <[DarkSun]> Aggrav8d, generious is how u decribe someone who is helpfull, genious is how you describe someone of above average inteligance, and obviously not me today :/
[18:25] <gui1> solar_george, right
[18:25] <sn1988> solar_george, so I will have to open the hosts file of the mounted system via gedit?
[18:25] <Pici> !de | dope_
 that not what I meant .. its like 'touching' a file . next boot it happens
[18:26] <Aggrav8d> [DarkSun]: i could have sworn that was gregarius
[18:26] <solar_george> sn1988 no just run hostname oldhostname in the live system before chrooting
[18:26] <ozstr1ker> hello there
[18:26] <Pici> !ot | Aggrav8d
[18:26] <ozstr1ker> why i cant install gnome back? 10.04
[18:26] <abhi_> hi guys...
[18:26] <solar_george> gui1 right click on your volume control icon and select sound preferences
[18:27] <BlaDe> Lord_Rahl,  I added the user to the www-data group and it still says the same thing
[18:27] <abhi_> the mouse pointer is swinging when i m placing two fingers on my touch patch while in windows this is not the case..
[18:27] <solar_george> gui1 there's a tab for input with a volume meter so you can check you've selected the correct input
[18:27] <BlaDe>  did usermod -a -G www-data blade
[18:27] <Randolph> hello all
[18:27] <ozstr1ker> hey answer me plz if someone has same problem in 10.04?
[18:27] <novastar> does anyone know how to change the keyboard, so when i hit the 0 key on the numpad it doesn't go to insert?
[18:28] <phisher1> uh
[18:28] <Phylock> novastar-  try num luck
[18:28] <phisher1> turn your numlock on
[18:28] <BlaDe> system -> preferences -> keyboard
[18:28] <abhi_> can anyone tell me how can i resolve the issue.. i have already install gsynaptic but it is no help
 ?
[18:28] <gui1> solar_george, thanks alot!!
[18:29] <durt> abhi, might be set to scroll on right side of mouse pad.
[18:29] <solar_george> gui1 np
[18:29] <ozstr1ker> gnome: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed waf???
[18:29] <Pici> kuttan: I don't know, have you asked the channel? Maybe someone else knows.
[18:29] <sn1988> well I tried hostname oldhostname and then chrooted, but I'm getting the same error :/
 I did ..
[18:30] <Pici> kuttan: Well, as much as I'd like to know everything, I don't.  Sorry.
[18:30] <solar_george> sn1988 you did remmeber to change oldhostname for the actuall hostname of your old system?
[18:30] <sn1988> yep
[18:30] <solar_george> sn1988 maybe re-run the comand in chroot
[18:30] <abhi_> durt: i did not get u... can u please explain it bit more
 np , not everything but its ok
[18:32] <carneiro> t
[18:32] <ronaldo__> hello too much problem...how can i solve this problem if the Documentation is not totally complete information
[18:32] <sn1988> well I had ubuntu as hostname in my hosts file behind <IP_ADDRESS>, isn't that the hostname I've to enter before chrooting?
[18:33] <dries_> Does anyobe know where I can see what google chrome themes I've got installed?
[18:33] <BusterBFMC> Question, I have installed pulseaudio device chooser started Skype and I still do not have a choice in pulseaudio or skype to use my headset for my default device, any ideas?
[18:33] <solar_george> sn1988 what was the hostname of the existing system
[18:33] <BusterBFMC> for Skype that is
[18:33] <joshua_roberts> what is the best theme engine for gnome in Ubuntu?
[18:34] <aeon-ltd> joshua_roberts: depends on what you need in terms of effects & flash-e-ness
[18:34] <sn1988> u mean the one I'm actually trying to fix? The hosts file tells me, ubuntu
[18:34] <beer> hi
[18:34] <aeon-ltd> joshua_roberts: murrine i would say is good, but y'know 1 day you might find a theme that needs rezlooks hence you switch
[18:34] <solar_george> sn1988 are you sure? normally the installer sets it to something like user-desktop
[18:35] <joshua_roberts> minimal effects, I have a really old video card that has no proprietary driver support, I just want to easily change login themes, desktop themes
[18:35] <sn1988> yes I'm sure, but lemme check it one more time
[18:35] <abhi_nav> !details | ronaldo__
[18:35] <joshua_roberts> I am using a dell c640 with a radeon mobility 7500 (ATI does not support this card in linux) so I have basic rendering support.
[18:36] <Lord_Rahl> BlaDe, did you restart apache
[18:36] <aeon-ltd> joshua_roberts: what clock speed cpu and what ram?
[18:36] <solar_george> BusterBFMC set skype use pulseaudio then use sound preferences to set the headset to be the input device for pulse
[18:36] <joshua_roberts> 1gig ram 2Ghz P4 I believe
[18:36] <BlaDe> nope Lord_Rahl  I can't do that either
[18:37] <BlaDe> /etc/init.d/apache2: line 105: kill: (10902) - Operation not permitted   ...fail!
[18:37] <BlaDe> then it gives the same error as before
[18:37] <sn1988> solar_george I checked again and the hosts file says: <IP_ADDRESS> ubuntu
[18:37] <Lord_Rahl> BlaDe, sudo /etc/init.d/apache
[18:37] <BusterBFMC> yes I have done that the mic works great, but my head set speaker will not work just system speakers
[18:38] <Lord_Rahl> BlaDe, sorry out sudo /etc/init.d/apache restart
[18:38] <aeon-ltd> joshua_roberts: thats pretty good, but if you want lighter just use whatever gtk theme you like, but if you want to 'squeeze' every bit of juice look into alternatives to gnome and compiz, something like openbox with tint2 to replace gnome + gnome panel
[18:38] <BlaDe> now it can't bind to 80
[18:38] <tevol> I get this error, how do I Fix? VirtualHost test1.ny:0 overlaps with VirtualHost test2.ny:0, the first has precedence, perhaps you need a NameVirtualHost directive
[18:38] <BlaDe> aha now it can
[18:39] <solar_george> BusterBFMC select to headset in the output tab of the preferences then
[18:39] <mydokumen> gg
[18:39] <joshua_roberts> I don't want to squeeze.  I need my extra squeeze for blender and gimp, not pretty menus
[18:39] <solar_george> sn1988 hmm, is that exactly the same in both hosts files
[18:39] <joshua_roberts> so I guess I will try murrine...
[18:40] <BlaDe> Lord_Rahl,  the directory permissions are 750 how can I find out which group owns it ? because I probably shouldn't chmod all to 755
[18:40] <joshua_roberts> aeon-ltd thanks
[18:40] <Lord_Rahl> ls -la
[18:40] <dries_> Does anyone know where I can see what google chrome themes I've got installed? It doesn't seem to have a theme page like firefox..
[18:40] <BlaDe> and i can't sftp in otherwise, quick phone call bac in a sec
[18:40] <aeon-ltd> joshua_roberts: i would still reccomend changing gnome and compiz (including all gnome heavy apps) and switching to lighter alternatives lets say gnome + compiz takes 300mb ram from boot, when i switched to openbox (plus no other gnome dependant apps) boot up was <80mb 220 mb  saving is what you need not a lighter gtk theme
[18:41] <Njh> im having trouble with creating a key gen, i keep getitng no gpg-agent running in this session. anyone have an idea on how to fix it?
[18:41] <BusterBFMC> solar_george I get no choice in the drop menu from skype / when I run Skype it does not show in pulse as an application running
[18:41] <sn1988> solar_george I'll check, gimme 1 moment
[18:41] <joshua_roberts> openbox..  ok
[18:41] <solar_george> BusterBFMC what skype version?
[18:41] <joshua_roberts> I will check and see..
[18:41] <joshua_roberts> thanks
[18:41] <BusterBFMC> solar_george  one sec
[18:41] <aeon-ltd> joshua_roberts: hope it helps. :)
[18:42] <joshua_roberts> It probably will.  I have tried fluxbox, but that is too light weight for me...
[18:42] <BusterBFMC> solar_george <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:43] <aeon-ltd> joshua_roberts: the *boxes can look really good though, much better than gnome+metacity/compiz can
[18:43] <aeon-ltd> IMO.
[18:43] <solar_george> BusterBFMC thats odd, same as me
[18:43] <pmow> I've followed several guides to setting up chroot/jail/sftp only, but users are not being restricted to their home directories.  I want to only allow them to browse their own /homes, and be able to modify files inside of there but nothing outside of /home/user.  Root or www-data would need write access, and optionally, it would be sftp-only for the users.  Would anyone have a suggestion?  I've tried: openssh directive, MySecureShell,
[18:43] <BusterBFMC> *scratching head*
[18:44] <BusterBFMC> solar_george I am puzzled
[18:44] <solar_george> BusterBFMC me too
[18:44] <torstein> Hello. Any way to recover an overwritten text-file? It was 11 GB and was overwritten by a 10 kb one, so the data should be pretty intact.
[18:45] <kesroesweyth> pmow > you mean scponly, correct?
[18:45] <ljsoftnet> how do i fix if vlc crashes?
[18:45] <pmow> kesroesweyth: yes, I've tried that too
[18:45] <solar_george> BusterBFMC lets just check this again, in skype under Options>SoundDevices you have no option for pulseaudio in the microphone and speakers dropdowns?
[18:45] <kesroesweyth> pmow > ive done it successfully for sftp users using scponly
[18:46] <guzu> torstein, see photorec. also check hiren's cd
[18:46] <pmow> kesroesweyth: scponly as shell?
[18:46] <technobowl> newbie here
[18:46] <kesroesweyth> pmow > i am not sure what you're asking
[18:46] <pmow> kesroesweyth: I've done that, however it did not restrict their whereabouts

[18:48] <kesroesweyth> pmow > scponly comes with a script to create new chrooted (jailed) users. after running it, the new users will only have ftp access to the path you specify
[18:49] <BusterBFMC> solar_george my sound preferences in pulse will not pick up skype
[18:49] <sec-r1z> ubottu: there is no Arabic channel ? :D
[18:49] <kesroesweyth> pmow > been a while now but i believe the script was setup_chroot.sh. are you running this script or using another method?

[18:49] <pmow> kesroesweyth: I was under the impression setup_chroot was for a common chroot path...I want them to be chrooted in their respective /home/user path
[18:49] <BusterBFMC> solar_geprge thank you
[18:50] <sec-r1z> ubottu: nice b0t :D

[18:50] <BusterBFMC> solar_george thank you
[18:50] <BHOY> HI everyone
[18:50] <kesroesweyth> pmow > yes, they will have their own paths
[18:50] <dries_> Does anyone here use chrome?
[18:50] <wessel> is it any good?
[18:50] <Pici> !anyone
[18:50] <aeon-ltd> !hi | BHOY

[18:50] <abhi_nav> dries_, yes
[18:50] <pmow> kesroesweyth: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451510 is the guide I followed
[18:51] <aeon-ltd> dries_: i have done
[18:51] <dries_> it's pretty decent, but I'm wondering where the themes are
[18:51] <BusterBFMC> solar_george one sec
[18:51] <eblume> Hi - I am trying to configured LVM on a DAS raid volume that is 23 terabytes in size. I've learned that I need to use GPT (gdisk) to do this, but gdisk can only seem to find the first 10.9 terabytes of blocks. Any suggestions?
[18:51] <dries_> once you install them there seems to be no way to find them
[18:51] <kesroesweyth> pmow > so make the script executable and run it if you havent already
[18:51] <jungleberrykid> Anybody know how I can setup a PAN network interface connection on ubuntu 10.04 LTS to my mobile phone?
[18:52] <bluefunk523> Hey all.  Newbe question.  i'm in Software manager in Mint 9 Isadora.  All my lists stop around "g" thru "J".  Am I missing something?
[18:52] <erUSUL> eblume: gparted or parted support gpt partition tables
[18:52] <kesroesweyth> pmow > the page you linked me to seems relevant, very similar to what i ended up doing for my own setup
[18:52] <erUSUL> !mint > bluefunk523
[18:52] <Pici> dries_: Chrome themes aren't really 'installed', they are activated.  Go to https://tools.google.com/chrome/intl/en/themes/index.html

[18:52] <BlaDe> Lord_Rahl,  are you still here?
[18:53] <kesroesweyth> pmow > what time of users are you creating? my purpose was to keep sftp users from accessing the rest of the filesystem
[18:53] <Lord_Rahl> BlaDe, yep
[18:53] <pmow> kesroesweyth: exactly - I just want them to download files I dump in their paths
[18:53] <eblume> erUSUL: Yes, they same problem persists there. Curiously, gparted and parted both report the correct volume size (23 TB), but upon creating the full disk volume it immediatly shrinks to 10.9 TB, and further formatting gives an error "Cannot satisfy constraints"
[18:53] <pmow> kesroesweyth: however following this example I can still browse /hoime
[18:53] <BlaDe> drwxr-x---  4 spooshi www-data 4096 2010-05-30 22:28 www......
[18:53] <BlaDe> i added myself to the www-data group, and i still get permission denied
[18:53] <linux_p> how to open files with the same session (windows) of vlc ? (i mean when i open mp3 it is opening with new windows)

[18:54] <eblume> erUSUL: I would like to use LVM (8e00) but this issue occurs with *any* fs

[18:54] <jungleberrykid> Any ideas on how I can create a network connection over Bluetooth to my mobile phone?
[18:54] <linux_p> erUSUL Slart  i can not where is the option.  :(
[18:54] <kesroesweyth> pmow > that is beyond me unfortunately
[18:55] <solar_george> BusterBFMC Ah yes, the sound preferences panel only lets you set global sound settings
[18:55] <pmow> kesroesweyth: I don't suppose you still have access to the box you set this up on?  Perhaps my config is screwed or perms are not set to what they need to be
[18:55] <BusterBFMC> solar_george all I have in skype in the drop down for speakers is pulse audio (local)
[18:55] <Slart> linux_p: in tools, preferences, interface. "Allow only one instance"
[18:55] <jungleberrykid> I would like to create a connection to the internet over Bluetooth to my mobile. I managed to do it once before on koala but cannot find how to do it with lucid?
[18:55] <marcuy> what would be the proper use of "sort" command? I want to sort a file with lines starting with dates formatted like "dd/mm/aaaa
[18:55] <erUSUL> linux_p: crtl + l
[18:55] <hrbvr> how to change geany default compilers? can't find it in google though
[18:56] <kesroesweyth> pmow >  i may be able to finaggle some sort of access to the box
[18:56] <aj00200> Are there any programs to upscale videos to hd?
[18:56] <pmow> kesroesweyth: that would be awesome...I'm still working on it, but the instructions aren't quite clear beyond the steps I've already taken
[18:56] <nemesis> chatrulette  XD
[18:56] <solar_george> BusterBFMC yeah I mean that the sound preferences  panel can change settings for all apps (inc; skype) but not only one, I'm trying to remember the name on the more finegrained control app
[18:56] <Pici> BlaDe: The permissions listed there (rwxr-x---) do not allow people in the same group to write to that path.
[18:57] <nemesis> pero que chingados
[18:57] <linux_p> Slart thank you it worked :D,

[18:58] <aeon-ltd> dasunsrule32: check firewall
[18:58] <_KAMI_> Hi! I have a laptop with slow startup time. Can someone help to optimize the boot performance. I created a bootchart.
[18:58] <dasunsrule32> aeon-ltd: it's not my firewall
[18:58] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: lets see
[18:58] <guntbert> dasunsrule32: maybe #ubuntu-server is the better place
[18:58] <dasunsrule32> I have 587 forwarded
[18:59] <aeon-ltd> dasunsrule32: do you use iptables?
[18:59] <dasunsrule32> guntbert: no one is there
[18:59] <dasunsrule32> aeon-ltd: no
[18:59] <solar_george> BusterBFMC try running from the terminal; pavucontrol
[18:59] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: then uploading it
[18:59] <aeon-ltd> dasunsrule32: do you have any setting that might drop packets?
[18:59] <jcrawford> hey guys last week I disabled Nautilus from managing my desktop so that I could use Nitrogen, however I would like to revert due to Nautilus not seeing my mouse clicks, I forgot where this was though
[18:59] <dasunsrule32> aeon-ltd: no
[18:59] <Pici> BlaDe: sudo chmod g+w /var/www/  , that will allow people in the www-data group to write to that path.
[18:59] <jcrawford>  i cannot even click my menu to determine where it was which is very odd
[19:00] <jcrawford> someone who can tell me?
[19:00] <aeon-ltd> jcrawford: check preferences if not use gconf
[19:00] <BusterBFMC> solar_george wow!
[19:00] <dasunsrule32> aeon-ltd: my server was working fine until the update last week, incoming works fine, outgoing also using my webmail, but not with a client to send outgoing on the submission port

[19:04] <solar_george> Taev, in the screen saver settings System>Preferences>ScreenSavers IIRC
[19:04] <benishor> Is there some way to "reset" kbd ?
[19:04] <jungleberrykid> Taev: System > Preferences > Screensaver and then untick "Lock screen when screensaver is active"
[19:04] <benishor> or to have it redetected somehow?
[19:04] <BusterBFMC> solar_george I was able to set skype during a test call
[19:05] <guntbert> Taev: are you talking about the screensaver? /system/preferences/screensaver  last option (lock...)

[19:11] <erUSUL> Jon--: what dd command did you run ?
[19:11] <sebsebseb> Mustain: right so is that a really new card or not?
[19:11] <Mustain> i try the iso imagem on virtual machine it works fine but on the laptop when it supposed to run the screen just stays black and nothing
[19:11] <_KAMI_> This is my current bootchart
[19:11] <hrishi> good night Friends
[19:11] <Jordan_U> sebsebseb: Odd, /lastlog didn't show him explaining what was going wrong. Thanks for catching it.
[19:11] <_KAMI_> I had nearly duble time because it started mysql server every time
[19:11] <sebsebseb> Mustain: a virtual machine inside Windows?
[19:11] <hrishi> :)
[19:11] <Mustain> ne video car isent that recent
[19:11] <sebsebseb> Jordan_U: Ubuntu won't work, Wubi, Live CD, or pen drive
[19:11] <_KAMI_> the intresting thing I have disabled from rc(all) the mysqld
[19:12] <_KAMI_> but it started
[19:12] <Jon--> erUSUL  dd if=/dev/sda of=/media/usbmounthere/backup.img
[19:12] <sebsebseb> Mustain: Good idea to check your ISO before using, to make sure its a good download, but  that probably isn't it
[19:12] <_KAMI_> then I temporaly removed fully
[19:12] <guntbert> !enter | _KAMI_
[19:12] <erUSUL> Jon--: do « tailf /var/log/messages  » on a terminal. then plug the disk. show us what appears
[19:12] <erUSUL> !paste | Jon--
[19:13] <guzu> Jon--, so it's not dd's fault. check if the device is available in fdisk -l
[19:13] <_KAMI_> sorry guntbert
[19:13] <sebsebseb> Mustain: People tend to get issues withe lap tops, because they are doing Ubuntu on hardware that isn't standard when it comes to Linux distros.  However even so, I guess a bit more then just sometimes,  other distros work better, when not working well on a lap top with Ubuntu.
[19:13] <abuayyoub> NZBget anyone use it before?
[19:13] <sebsebseb> Mustain: however 4GB RAM isn't a problem, thats pretty standard
[19:13] <Jon--> erUSUL: Nothing new appeared.
[19:13] <dasunsrule32> aeon-ltd: got that last error solved, renamed the conf file it was looking for
[19:13] <guzu> Jon--, follow erUSUL , please
[19:13] <dasunsrule32> can receive now
[19:13] <guntbert> _KAMI_: no reason for sorry: only its much harder to see what you acually need :-)
[19:13] <papertigers> anyone know how to setup rsyslog for a seperate iptables log?
[19:13] <sebsebseb> Mustain: the card you say isn't really recent?  probably some sort of Plymouth boot up issue or something
[19:14] <dasunsrule32> aeon-ltd: just the 587 SASL error
[19:14] <erUSUL> Jon--: nothing? have you tried another usb port ?

I have a folder that has something like 60 files and 60 par2 files, is there a way using par2 that I can queue them so they go one by one? or beter yet queue the entire folder? I am doing them one by one now or using pypar with 30 open instances at a time which is killer on the CPU
[19:14] <_KAMI_> I need a boottime finetune because my laptop started over 120sec now it is 60 sec but I am sure we can reduce the time. The bootchart was posted before.

[19:18] <sebsebseb> Oer: yeah as far  as I know SIS don't do Linux support, and that there isn't really anything reverse enginered for support either
[19:18] <Jordan_U> Mustain: Press F6 at that menu and choose the "nomodeset" option.
[19:18] <guzu> sweet
[19:18] <Mustain> w8 ill try it now
[19:19] <erUSUL> Jon--: so everything is ok...

[19:19] <sebsebseb> Mustain: ^
[19:19] <sebsebseb> Mustain: SIS is bad when it comes to Linux, this could be your problem

[19:23] <martez89> hey how can i exclude a folder from rsync?
[19:23] <dasunsrule32> anyone, how do I change my permission from -rw-rw-rw- -> srw-rw-rw-?
[19:23] <sebsebseb> Oer: In fact that guy was basically a right idiot.
[19:23] <solar_george> Jon-- IIRC plain fsck will select the correct program to use
[19:23] <martez89> grsync I mean
[19:23] <sebsebseb> Oer: as well
[19:23] <pakair> jon__: man fsck.vfat
[19:23] <erUSUL> martez89: rsync man page has the correct option. iirc is --exclude=folder/ but check anyway
[19:24] <peleg> Hey. I am inserting a dvb-t usb device, but nothing happens. It should be supported by linux. I do see "new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 7" and "configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice" in dmesg; but nothing more. Any ideas?
[19:24] <erUSUL> martez89: add that in advanced options ?
[19:24] <martez89> erUSUL, what is the exact command to exclude the video folder in home?
[19:25] <Jon--> solar_george: It's asking me stuff. Ahh. ;)  "There are differences between boot sector and its backup."
 The boot sector shouldn't matter
[19:26] <solar_george> Jon-- are you booting off that drive for anything?
[19:26] <Jon--> solar_george: Nope ^
[19:26] <abhi_nav> how to set my default Chat from empathy to pidgin?
[19:26] <solar_george> Jon-- yeah so as you thought it shouldn't matter
[19:26] <sebsebseb> abhi_nav: system > preferences > preffered applications
[19:26] <willwork4foo> I've tried setting i915.blacklist=true xforcevesa in my grub config and I still can't get this Dell Latitude D400 to boot into a graphical environment.
[19:26] <Jon--> solar_george: I copied original to backup
[19:27] <abhi_nav> sebsebseb, chat option is not there
[19:27] <willwork4foo> also, can't switch VTs by using Crtl-Alt-Fx
[19:27] <trism> abhi_nav: if you mean in the indicator applet, you can't, it is hard-coded to call empathy "Chat", you can remove empathy to get rid of that menu item though
[19:27] <willwork4foo> anyone here dealt with a fresh install of 10.04 giving a blank black screen at boot?
[19:27] <guzu> willwork4foo, do you have xorg.conf? do you pass nomodeset to the kernel?
[19:27] <abhi_nav> trism yes in indicator applet
[19:28] <willwork4foo> guzu: can I do that in the grub options?
[19:28] <abhi_nav> trism, but after removing empathy will it point to pidgin?
[19:28] <abuayyoub> can someone help me with a problem I am having with Par2? I have a folder that has something like 60 files and 60 par2 files, is there a way using par2 that I can queue them so they go one by one? or beter yet queue the entire folder? I am doing them one by one now or using pypar with 30 open instances at a time which is killer on the CPU
[19:28] <guzu> willwork4foo, yes, afaict
[19:28]  * guzu is a fedora user ...
[19:28] <erUSUL> martez89: --exclude=/home/user/Videos ?
[19:28] <willwork4foo> guzu: trying that now
[19:28] <Jordan_U> willwork4foo: Did the LiveCD work without issues?
[19:29] <trism> abhi_nav: no, it will not
[19:29] <willwork4foo> Jordan_U, no. I had to do an Ubuntu Server install (no X) then do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:29] <abhi_nav> trism, :(
[19:29] <willwork4foo> since I installed ubuntu desktop, it won't boot. It won't even enable networking.
[19:30] <martez89> erSUL: I tried that, but grsync gives an error
[19:30] <Jordan_U> willwork4foo: For future reference you can use the alternate install CD. But if you have graphics problems with the LiveCD you're pretty much guaranteed to have them with the installed system.
[19:31] <asgdggeg> hello
[19:31] <asgdggeg> ubuntu 8.10 rulz
[19:31] <thune3> willwork4foo: what is your hardware?
[19:31] <willwork4foo> Jordan_U, fair enough. I need to try and get some kind of graphics working on this system
[19:31] <martez89> erUSUL: it's working now I think, thanks
[19:31] <guzu> Jordan_U, how can i tell ubuntu to boot in text mode instead of gui?
[19:31] <asgdggeg> intel i5
[19:31] <Jordan_U> willwork4foo: Have you tried holding shift during boot and selecting recovery mode?
[19:31] <sebsebseb> asgdggeg: yeah 8.10 I quite liked it as well, a little issue on the other computer though,  but XP needs a driver for that issue as well
[19:31] <Jordan_U> !boot | guzu
[19:31] <martez89> erUSUL: my videos folder was too large for my external HDD :P
[19:31] <sebsebseb> asgdggeg: well not sure what 8.10 needed.  anyway yeah end of life now, no more security updates :(
[19:32] <asgdggeg> sebsebseb, =(
[19:32] <guzu> Jordan_U, thank you
[19:32] <sebsebseb> asgdggeg: as of the 30th of April
[19:32] <Jordan_U> guzu: You're welcome.
[19:32] <erUSUL> martez89: just leave the pr0n out :D
[19:32] <asgdggeg> sebsebseb, u trying debian?
[19:33] <piero> how do i upgrade my ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.4 i do have the cd
[19:33] <sebsebseb> asgdggeg: I have done in a virtual machine, but Mandriva on here since November,   Ubuntu still on other computer.   Anyway have you got a support question?
[19:33] <willwork4foo> gah. It almost seems as though starting X on this machine causes it to lock up completely.
[19:33] <martez89> erUSUL : yeah bluray 1080p pron takes a lot of space :P
[19:33] <sebsebseb> piero: you can upgrade using the repos
[19:33] <asgdggeg> sebsebseb, nope
[19:33] <piero> ok
[19:33] <malikdhadha> any good video converter for ubuntu
[19:33] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | piero
[19:33] <piero> i do have the 10.4 cd
[19:33] <solar_george> abuayyoub, what is the command that you would run on one of the files (i don't know par2)
[19:33] <guzu> willwork4foo, pass text nosplash to the kernel
[19:33] <erUSUL> malikdhadha: winff; arista ?
[19:33] <guzu> willwork4foo, pass 'text nosplash' to the kernel
[19:33] <asgdggeg> vim rulz
[19:34] <abuayyoub> par2repair foooo.par2
[19:34] <asgdggeg> github vim colorscheme - best light-on-dark scheme
[19:34] <malikdhadha> thans erUSUL
[19:34] <willwork4foo> guzu, thanks
[19:34] <willwork4foo> will try that
[19:34] <piero> i do have a pen drive which write protected how do i change it
[19:34] <abuayyoub> solar_george, par2repair foo.par2
[19:34] <solar_george> malikdhadha handbrake is nice and simple if you don't want to mess around
[19:35] <willwork4foo> I can get to a root prompt by way of the recovery mode startup option then dropping to the root prompt
[19:35] <willwork4foo> and I have networking
[19:35] <guzu> willwork4foo, Jordan_U gave me the hints :)
[19:35] <willwork4foo> I now need to remove all traces of GUI and start from nothing
[19:35] <asgdggeg> guys, what keyboard u use?
[19:35] <guzu> willwork4foo, i was wondering what if you create xorg.conf in /etc/X11 and put vesa there
[19:35] <solar_george> abuayyoub; try something like find -iname "*.par2" -exec par2repair \{\} \;
[19:36] <asgdggeg> i trying very nice Oklick 555S ... its best
[19:36] <guzu> willwork4foo, X -configure should create xorg.conf.* in /root
[19:36] <asgdggeg> what Xorg version in ubuntu 10.04?
[19:36] <sebsebseb> !info xorg
[19:36] <willwork4foo> guzu, it does. then when I try to run X using that configure file, it dies
[19:36] <willwork4foo> :)
[19:36] <willwork4foo> still hacking though....
[19:37] <solar_george> abuayyoub; whoops that will work for that folder and all below it as well
[19:37] <solar_george> abuayyoub; just so you know
[19:37] <guzu> willwork4foo, what was the video card?
[19:37] <thune3> willwork4foo: do you have a model number of the computer you are using?
[19:37] <guzu> ah, one intel ...
[19:37] <guzu> willwork4foo, nomodeset is still in kernel line?
[19:38] <willwork4foo> thune3, it's a Dell Latitude D400
[19:38] <guzu> willwork4foo, copy the section and create one without nomodeset
[19:38] <peleg> Help, someone? I just spent a lot of money on this tiny device, and I really hoped I could watch some TV here :) -- I have no clue how to even start debugging. just -- nothing happens. the dmesg is very modest ...
[19:38] <willwork4foo> old beast - it's being set up as a gift for a friend once I have lucid running nicely
[19:39] <solar_george> peleg whats lsusb report
[19:39] <willwork4foo> getting the video card model now
[19:39] <willwork4foo> X just died again - I have to force a poweroff then boot into recovery mode
[19:39] <guzu> strange thing is, my x40 works fine with 10.04, card is older intel
[19:39] <peleg> solar_george, some "linux foundation" and one line like this: "Bus 001 Device 009: ID 15a4:9035 Afatech Technologies, Inc."
[19:39] <solar_george> peleg pastebin the whole thing
[19:40] <peleg> sure
[19:40] <shadyabhi> Anyone having of shorewall filrewall here??
[19:40] <peleg> solar_george, http://pastebin.com/r9M9dy1B
[19:40] <Jordan_U> !sysrq | willwork4foo
[19:40] <thune3> willwork4foo: the option to try is i915.modeset=1 : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[19:41] <jungleberrykid> Anybody know how I can setup a PAN connection over bluetooth to my mobile phone?
[19:41] <willwork4foo> ok - lspci reports the card as an Intel 82852/855GM
[19:42] <willwork4foo> thune3, trying that now
[19:42] <willwork4foo> thanks Jordan_U
[19:42] <Jordan_U> willwork4foo: You're welcome.
[19:42] <Slart> jungleberrykid: I'm not sure if I can help you do it.. but it works on my laptop
[19:42] <Slart> jungleberrykid: are you running desktop 10.04 ?
[19:42] <willwork4foo> REISUB
[19:42] <willwork4foo> OMG
[19:42] <queso> I want ctrl-alt-T to open an xterm of specific dimensions.  If I go to Preferred Applications -> System, and try to make a custom entry, if I type "xterm" in the Command field it automatically selects "Standard XTerminal" from the dropdown box and won't let me enter in my custom Execute Flags.  What to do?
[19:42] <willwork4foo> thune3, it WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[19:42]  * willwork4foo has a big party
[19:43] <bullgard4> I bought a new 4-GB thumbdrive. How to test if it is all right?
[19:43] <jungleberrykid> Slart: Yes, I am running 10.04
[19:43] <willwork4foo> now I just need to go and make that setting permanent
[19:43] <solar_george> peleg this any help http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1444535.html ?
[19:43] <Slart> jungleberrykid: you've got the little bluetooth icon in your taskbar?
[19:43] <cipher42> how come there is no linux-headers-2.6.32-20-generic package?
[19:43] <ph0xide> how can i disable ipv6 on ubuntu 8.10?
[19:43] <thune3> willwork4foo: put that in /etc/default/grub grub line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and run update-grub
[19:43] <jungleberrykid> Slart: yes, I've got the icon and I have my laptop paired to my phone
[19:43] <erUSUL> !ipv6
[19:44] <Slart> jungleberrykid: ok.. hang on.. let me get my mobile phone loader.. I'm running out of battery
[19:44] <peleg> solar_george, are you sure you've sent me the correct url? All I get there is a long list...
[19:44] <cipher42> how come there is no linux-headers-2.6.32-20-generic package?
[19:45] <jungleberrykid> Slart: k, thanks - I would greatly appreciate any assistance you are able to offer me...
[19:45] <willwork4foo> wicked, thanks thune3 - rebooting now to test
[19:45] <Jordan_U> willwork4foo: It's good that it needed modeset=1 rather than modeset=0 (some cards only work with one, some only with the other) because Kernel Mode Setting will be enabled by default in 10.10 foreward (so, if nothing else fails, upgrades should go fine without needing to "update" the hack)
[19:45] <trism> queso: very odd, you could try editing the keys directly in gconf-editor, /desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/exec and exec_arg
[19:45] <willwork4foo> Jordan_U, that's good news!
[19:45] <willwork4foo> brb
[19:45] <solar_george> peleg whoops i misread that anyway
[19:46] <solar_george> peleg whats the make/model name/number of your tuner?
[19:47] <Mustain> now it ruuns but after 3 ms it freezes
[19:47] <kjkjava> Hey, I'm trying to download four files (webcams) from the internet every three minutes.  I'm guessing cron and wget is the best way to do it, but I'm not sure how to get wget to timestamp the file.  Ideas?
[19:48] <peleg> solar_george, hard to say. The Hebrew name claims "dongle receiver dvb-t", and the logo on the device is "KONKA". On the box it says "KONKA-9102". I think it is a special local edition.
[19:50] <mat619> Hi there! Just got a new laptop screen which displays colours a lot less saturated than the old one. Any ideas what I could do to increase the screen saturation?
[19:50] <Slart> jungleberrykid: ok.. found the loader thingy.. you've paired your phone with your computer?
[19:51] <peleg> solar_george, this is in Hebrew, but you can see the specifications there: http://www.satshop.co.il/p109001.cfm  -- in the Hebrew part, it claims that it is good for Linux as well.
[19:51] <jungleberrykid> Slart: yup, they are both paired - I can transfer files between them fine.
[19:51] <solar_george> peleg yeah I've just tracked down the chipset and it does claim to be supported
[19:52] <kjkjava> :-)
[19:52] <Slart> jungleberrykid: and when you paired them you checked the "Access the Internet using your mobile phone" ?
[19:53] <jungleberrykid> Slart: I don't have that setting anywhere, I've been looking for it all over the place...
[19:53] <solar_george> peleg could you just check the restricted drivers manager to see if it has anything usefull
[19:53] <jungleberrykid> Slart: when you run ifconifg do you see a PAN interface?
[19:53] <BreezyBlue> hate to ask such a question but my ubuntu Lucid just started running really slow anyone have an answer please pm me
[19:53] <Slart> jungleberrykid: oh.. I got it when I paired the phone with the computer.. just after I entered the six digit pin code

[19:56] <luka> hi. can someone plz tell me how to access a website that only works from internet explorer? i need it for work plz. thanks
[19:56] <peleg> solar_george, it searches, and then let me know it finds nothing.
[19:56] <BreezyBlue> my ubuntu just started running slow... any advice
[19:56] <jungleberrykid> Slart: I see. Well I see it when I run 'iwconfig' command but I don't see anything under 'ifconfig'. I don't know what I must do to get that option?
[19:56] <bastid_raZor> luka: possibly use the plugin 'agent switcher' for firefox
[19:57] <luka> bastid_raZor: i have already tried that. still no joy :( what else can i try plz?
[19:57] <jungleberrykid> Slart: are you running ubuntu 10.04 LTS?
[19:57] <mat619> any ideas regarding the saturation issue?
[19:57] <thune3> BreezyBlue: check memory usage and kill unneeded applications if memory if full.
[19:58] <Slart> jungleberrykid: yup... 64bit desktop ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[19:58] <pmow> Is there any way to prevent users from listing /home?

[20:07] <JHUnT> hello all, I'm trying to run a clean install with a RAID striping configuration with 10.4. I seem to be encountering this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/527401 . It says this issue is resolved, but grub-install still fails.
[20:07] <zubin71> :)
[20:08] <GeekSquid> DanaG: remove the N. should fix it
[20:08] <Slart> jungleberrykid: nope.. I don't have bluez-compat installed
[20:08] <DanaG> yeah, it's weird that it created it, though. =þ
[20:08] <solar_george> peleg try sudo modprobe dvb-usb-af9015
[20:08] <peleg> solar_george, thanks, trying.
[20:08] <jungleberrykid> I really do not know where to turn to with this issue now? *groan*

[20:09] <solar_george> peleg try replugging it maybe
[20:10] <peleg> solar_george, hmm, nothing...
[20:10] <Bragex9> why is everything so complicated for a normal user in ubuntu? I want to share some of my home folders. I have managed to do that. But I can only create or delete files in the shared folder. I also want to be able to modify files. But I dont know how.....
[20:10] <abhi_nav> bullgard4, dont know
[20:10] <peleg> solar_george, I've read about some guys that did this modprobe magic (with various parameters), and it worked. Maybe we should just know which is the specific parameter for my device..?
[20:10] <bullgard4> abhi_nav: Right.
[20:10] <JHUnT> I take it grub-install is broke in 10.4 for software RAID?
[20:10] <solar_george> peleg try moving that firmware file from /lib/firmware to /lib/firmware/kernelversion
[20:11] <abhi_nav> bullgard4, hmm
[20:11] <_KAMI_> Cold you help me to optimize my boottime? http://ftp.devall.hu/kami/bootchart/AgentM-lucid-20100622-7.png
[20:11] <solar_george> peleg are you using usb keyboard or mouse?
[20:11] <peleg> solar_george, no.
[20:12] <lietu> also, where do I disable numlock on boot? did that in the bios and ubuntu re-enables it at some point, quite an annoying feature when using a laptop
[20:12] <peleg> solar_george, how do I know which is my current kernelversion? I have two options there. 2.6.32-21-generic and 2.6.32-22-generic
[20:12] <solar_george> peleg should be the latest or run uname -r
[20:13] <Terminator_> whois Terminator
[20:13] <peleg> solar_george, ok, thanks. indeed the latest.
[20:13] <trifolio6> hi all,   my debian changed my boot and now i cant start my ubuntu,   is there any manual to be able to start my ubuntu   when i want it?
[20:13] <Oer> _KAMI_, nice boottime
[20:14] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: i suppose you could lose gdm + gnome etc, but it would only shave a few seconds
[20:14] <subuntu> how can i install remote help assistant in the livecd version?
[20:14] <erUSUL> trifolio6: add ubuntu to debian maintained grub ?
[20:14] <trifolio6> sounds great,  any manual to do that?
[20:14] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: as well as killing off some daemons
[20:14] <bergLNX> how/where do i install new gtk themes?
[20:14] <peleg> solar_george, weird, now modprobe is not adding this extra line to dmesg anymore.
[20:14] <trifolio6> i mean,  any time i upgrade my sistem the grup file is regenerated
[20:14] <erUSUL> trifolio6: ask in #debian ?
[20:15] <_KAMI_> Oer, It is a bit lot
[20:15] <solar_george> peleg try sudo rmmod dvb-usb-af9015
[20:15] <solar_george> peleg then sudo modprobe dvb-usb-af9015 again
[20:15] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: what is your offer?
[20:15] <_KAMI_> And which deamons should I stop?
[20:15] <King_Arthur> bergLNX http://compiz-themes.org/
[20:16] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: do you use bluetooth?
[20:16] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: yes I am using with my mobilephone, what is better the original bluetooth manager or blueman?
[20:17] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: i have no experience with either, do you use sshd? or avahi at all?
[20:18] <peleg> solar_george, ok, I can see the deregistration and the reregistration. after disconnecting+connecting, nothing is new, though.
[20:18] <_KAMI_> I am not using Avahi (or does it need for networkmanager nor Wifi, or eth?)
[20:19] <abuayyoub> Hi, can someone please help me with a problem I am having with a program called NZBget?
[20:19] <peleg> solar_george, by the way, af is for afatech -- and 9015 for what?
[20:19] <solar_george> peleg ok try sudo rmmod usbhid then replug 9015 is the model number of the chipset
[20:20] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: no avahi is only used to communicate with other pcs on your network, ie a file server, bonjour(apple's protocol) and similar
[20:20] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: DO you have experience with ureadahead?
[20:20]  * datacrusher congrats for the 16.20 hour
[20:20] <freeride> guys, please tell, where the fonts are located in ubuntu? (not in ~/.fonts)
[20:20] <erUSUL> !fonts
[20:20] <erUSUL> freeride: /usr/share/fonts/ ?
[20:20] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: Then I can diable it
[20:20] <peleg> solar_george, Module usbhid does not exist in /proc/modules   --   did you mean dvb-usb-af9015 ?
[20:20] <freeride> thanks!!!
[20:21] <freeride> erUSUL thanks
[20:21] <solar_george> peleg no i was just checking that usbhid wasn't getting in the way
[20:21] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: you can disable avahi if you'd like, also note down the changes you are making incase something breaks
[20:21] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: do you run cron scripts? or ssh from other pcs
[20:22] <_KAMI_> I have no cron scripts and I used sshd a time ago
[20:22] <_KAMI_> so I can disable it
[20:22] <Manekhu> Hi kami
[20:22] <Manekhu> sup?
[20:22] <_KAMI_> Hi Manekhu!
[20:23] <Manekhu> Where u frm dude?
[20:23] <Manekhu> welcome svu
[20:23] <svu> Manekhu, hello
[20:23] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: yeah but right now i doubt anything but a few seconds will have gone
[20:24] <_KAMI_> I using kernel from kernel ppa
[20:25] <_KAMI_> bacause of opensource radeon driver - so I wanted to use ureadahead with this kernel but it is not possible to create pack file for ureadahead
[20:25] <peleg> solar_george, where did you find the model number of the chipset?
[20:26] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: if ureadahead does nothing you may as well disable it but as i said write/type these changes down
[20:26] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: the last 5-10 seconds on your bootchart are occuppied by gnome and its extras i suppose you could change to a lighter WM/DE
[20:26] <solar_george> peleg by looking up the usb vendor id on http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices
[20:27] <peleg> solar_george, I looked there earlier, but I couldn't find KONKA, and there are a couple of afatechs...
[20:28] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: also the bootchart onl;y meassures grub to login, how long do you think it takes from login to desktop usable?
[20:28] <_KAMI_> okay I disabled few daemons
[20:28] <bergLNX> how come cp command wont copy the content of the folder im trying to move?
[20:28] <imanc> hey folks - does anyone know of a channel that deals with general linux web server admin?
[20:28] <erUSUL> bergLNX: cp -r for folders
[20:28] <imanc> or linux server security?
[20:28] <solar_george> peleg yeah but I looked at the usb vendor id from your lsusb
[20:28] <aeon-ltd> bergLNX: you need to use recursive 'cp -r'
[20:28] <miniuser> _KAMI_: here's mine: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/3976/ionlucid201006231.png
[20:28] <erUSUL> imanc: #ubuntu-server ? ##linux ?
[20:28] <bastid_raZor> imanc: #httpd
[20:28] <Jordan_U> JHUnT: Grub works fine on my raid1, did you make sure to use mdraid metadata format 0.9?
[20:29] <GeekSquid> imanc: or #apache
[20:29] <bergLNX> erUSUL: that what i did, the folder copied, but not the content
[20:29] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd:  It is long time I have to wait lots of second to appear panels and desktop
[20:29] <_KAMI_> I autstarted skype an pidgint (ang openoffice quickstarter)
[20:29] <erUSUL> bergLNX: you did not get any error ?
[20:29] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: then thats where the real problem is going to be
[20:29] <solar_george> peleg that should be unique to the chipset unless its a really crappy fake one thats not bothered getting its own id
[20:29] <bergLNX> erUSUL: nope...
[20:29] <peleg> solar_george, from here: Bus 001 Device 014: ID 15a4:9035 Afatech Technologies, Inc. ? I see 9035 there :)
[20:30] <erUSUL> bergLNX: then should have copied everything
[20:30] <erUSUL> bergLNX: how are you checking if everything is there ?
[20:30] <JHUnT> Jordan_U: hey thanks for reply. I used disk utility to create the raid. I got an error that mdraid wasn't installed and had to apt-get install. I ran again and it created the raid, but grub doesn't recognize it :(
[20:30] <anUbuntuUser> so I just set up a new 10.4 system with a fairly large monitor.  The fullscreen flash performance was actually BETTER with the gpl driver.  How does installing the nvidia drivers make flash performance wors.e?
[20:30] <bergLNX> "sudo cp -r /home/martin/Downloads/Striped/ /usr/share/themes/" is what i did, i then found the "Striped" folder where it should be, but its empty...
[20:30] <_KAMI_> miniuser: amazing :D
[20:30] <peleg> solar_george, none really fits the table, actually. it should be 15a4:9035.
[20:31] <An_Ony_Moose> how can I restore grub2 onto the MBR from a live CD?
[20:31] <erUSUL> !grub2 | An_Ony_Moose
[20:31] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: And how can I tweak that?
[20:31] <bergLNX> erUSUL: just opening the folder in "explorer"
[20:31] <solar_george> peleg yeah but you posting that just made be realise id mis-read again (I think i need coffee)
[20:31] <Jordan_U> JHUnT: Why aren't you installing via the alternate install CD?
[20:31] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: reduce login items, like i said earlier use lighter DEs/WMs
[20:31] <erUSUL> bergLNX: and you are sure /home/martin/Downloads/Striped/ is not empty ?
[20:32] <anUbuntuUser> don't make me install windows media center 2005 again ... please don't make me do that.  99% of the use of this computer will be DVDs and Hulu.com ... even their desktop player is choppy as hell.
[20:32] <solar_george> peleg however i just found http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Afatech_AF9035
[20:32] <bergLNX> erUSUL: yeah, but after a "ls" i noticed that the content did indeed copy... its just invisible to me... hm... and the theme aint loading either
[20:33] <JHUnT> Jordan_U: alternate CD? I'm using the 10.4 Live download from the ubuntu site. Is that the CD you're referring to?
[20:33] <anUbuntuUser> i can go to quarter native on the resolution, which will help some (since it is going to be used as a tv it doesn't need hte 1480xwhatever)
[20:33] <peleg> solar_george, so go ahead and have some coffee! :) I appreciate your help. I'll read that page you've sent me in the meanwhile :)
[20:33] <Jordan_U> JHUnT: No, the LiveCD installer doesn't support installing to RAID.
[20:33] <Jordan_U> !alternate | JHUnT
[20:33] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: after your done tweaking i reccommend a reboot then join this channel again and show me the new bootchart
[20:34] <JHUnT> Jordan_U: doh!!! Cool, I'll give that a shot :)
[20:34] <solar_george> peleg too late in the evening here for coffee and beer doesn't improve reading ability
[20:34] <JHUnT> Jordan_U: thanks!
[20:34] <Jordan_U> JHUnT: You're welcome :)
[20:35] <GeekSquid> solar_george: sounds like a catch 22, perhaps water?
[20:35] <peleg> solar_george, indeed :)
[20:35] <anUbuntuUser> so, flash is the achillies heel of linux then huh?
[20:36] <miniuser> _KAMI_: yes, yes, thank you. i use SSD value model 40 GB. thats what makes the difference
[20:36] <solar_george> GeekSquid: maybe hot chocolate
[20:36] <bergLNX> is there a way to recursively chmod a folder and all sub folders/files?
[20:36] <miniuser> _KAMI_: from intel
[20:36] <GeekSquid> anUbuntuUser: no, flash is the achillies heel of the internet, HTML5 is the solution we are waiting for
[20:36] <anUbuntuUser> bergLNX, chmod -R someone:somegroup /somefolder
[20:36] <ddrj> anyone here have a wusb100v2 card? (i've already looked into the wiki and help files for ubuntu's supported cards)
[20:37] <Jordan_U> anUbuntuUser: Yes, you can work around the main use of flash by using totem (the movie player that comes with Ubuntu) or html5 to browse youtube though.
[20:37] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: should I use XFCE or lighter?
[20:37] <BlaDe> what causes failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-sftp" ?
[20:37] <anUbuntuUser> what I mean by that is that to do things just like we did on windows we need flash to work full screen.  So I can't switch our livingroom pc over to linux until we can play full screen video in flash
[20:38] <_KAMI_> miniuser: Yeah cool, but my laptop is in duty
[20:38] <_KAMI_> It has a big hdd in it.
[20:38] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: I will reboot soon however I have an ongoing copy I would like to finish it
[20:38] <anUbuntuUser> youtube plays fine, hulu is what is going to prevent this project from going forward for another year or two
[20:39] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: depends how low you want to go, like absolute max speed - no effects+eyecandy etc basic but clean or just lighter than gnome whilst retaining eye-candy
[20:39] <anUbuntuUser> this was supposed to be the intermediate step that would prove to my wife that linux will work fine for her computer too
[20:39] <ddrj> i have a built in wifi card on my laptop AND a usb wifi card plugged in. is there a way in ubuntu to see which device is connecting to the net ?
[20:39] <_KAMI_> until that I am building OxygenOffice on the another computer
[20:39] <kitallis> Guys, I installed fglrx and had troubles with splash screen, so I decided to revert them back and remove them + i upgraded kernel from software updates
[20:39] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: lightest you could get is probably openbox with going into tiling, but xfce is a good choice
[20:39] <kitallis> and now it's working very very slow
[20:40] <erUSUL> ddrj: see the routing table ?
[20:40] <kitallis> my ubuntu, lucid install that is
[20:40] <virtualgeekhub> anUbuntuUser: Yeah i tried converting my gf too she had none of ubuntu lol
[20:40] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: i'd go with xfce see if you like it
[20:40] <ddrj> erUSUL: how do you do that?
[20:40] <GeekSquid> anUbuntuUser: I have no trouble with Hulu on my lappy, and it is 4 years old, sometimes the latest and greatest isn't what works the best
[20:40] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd:  I prefer basic and eye candy, however I am using compiz and it seems more responsible in many cases
[20:40] <erUSUL> ddrj: « ip route » ?
[20:40] <Jordan_U> anUbuntuUser: You'll be happy to know that while Boxee used to be able to browse Hulu natively, Hulu sued them to remove the feature (even though commercials were still shown, so it was only gaining them revenue)
[20:40] <anUbuntuUser> I can't even play a dvd on my laptop ... it's an intel graphics chip with no proprietary driver or anything, about 1 frame per minute with the gpl driver
[20:41] <anUbuntuUser> i know about boxee
[20:41] <kitallis> the desktop wasn't even loading, so i decided to supress KMS and now it's barely usable
[20:41] <Slart> Anyone know of a mail client thing that can connect to an imap account and do some basic filtering according to some rules.. no gui.. just a daemon.. I don't want to rely on thunderbird to do that
[20:41] <anUbuntuUser> linuxmce kindof embeds hulu too, just uses their binary and then wrote some scripts to interface with it
[20:41] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: any other possibilities to increase bootspeed?
[20:41] <GeekSquid> Slart: Horde will do that
[20:41] <ddrj> erUSUL: they're showing me two wlan's, one is wlan1 and another is wlan0, it says default is via wlan0
[20:42] <ddrj> how do i found out which wlan is assigned to which device ?
[20:42] <Jordan_U> anUbuntuUser: I think that linux just isn't a good choice for your media center yet, but you might ask in #mythtv to see if they know of any Hulu alternatives that work well.
[20:42] <Slart> GeekSquid: isn't Horde a webclient thing? or it has some kind of backend?
[20:42] <erUSUL> ddrj: there you go internet is via wlan0
[20:42] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: backgrounding daemons, but i'm not sure how to do that in ubuntu
[20:42] <anUbuntuUser> there is no alternative to hulu that I know of ... it is content not capability that hulu has
[20:42] <anUbuntuUser> and unfortunately content is going to determine the OS we use :(
[20:42] <ddrj> erUSUL: right but wlan0 is connected via the built in wifi card or the usb wifi card? how do i know?
[20:42] <GeekSquid> Slart: it is a webclient, and it has a backend, which will allow filtering/whitelisting/blacklisting
[20:43] <erUSUL> ddrj: lshw -C Network | less
[20:43] <Slart> GeekSquid: ah.. I will take a look at Horde then.. thanks for the tip
[20:43] <BlaDe> what causes failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-sftp" ?
[20:43] <malikeye|123> any idea why a windows KVM guest is performing like crap on an SSD drive?
[20:43] <GeekSquid> Slart: I will tell you it is a B!TC# to setup, you have to install some perl and pecl stuff
[20:44] <aeon-ltd> malikeye|123: whats the cpu + ram like?
[20:44] <malikeye|123> aeon-ltd, zero
[20:44] <Slart> GeekSquid: sounds like a weekend project then =)
[20:44] <malikeye|123> like no CPU usage, no I/O
[20:44] <malikeye|123> it just runs dog slow
[20:44] <malikeye|123> it's got 2 vCPU's and 1GB of RAM
[20:44] <Jordan_U> malikeye|123: Do other VMs on other drives run well?
[20:44] <malikeye|123> it's XP, should be running fast
[20:44] <hotfloppy> can someone guide or point me to some nice article regarding how to connect modem huawei e1762 via wvdial or usb_modeswitch.. please.. been searching thru google and tried many tutorial bt still got no succeed.. :(
[20:44] <GeekSquid> Slart: Prolly, took me an afternoon the first time
[20:44] <ddrj> erUSUL: ah crap, it's using my builtin wifi card (wlan0.. which is faulty), is there a way to assign wlan1 preference over wlan0 ?
[20:44] <malikeye|123> nope, single VM
[20:45] <malikeye|123> it's on a laptop... a W510
[20:45] <chrijon> Hi. Should password authentication over SSH work by default on Ubuntu 10.4 server edition?
[20:45] <malikeye|123> the laptop is sitting like 80% idle
[20:45] <Jordan_U> malikeye|123: Does "kvm-ok" report that hardware virtualization is available?
[20:45] <malikeye|123> it's an i7 chip
[20:45] <GeekSquid> chrijon: yes
[20:45] <anUbuntuUser> well, I have to head out.  thanks for the info guys
[20:45] <erUSUL> ddrj: why not use the laptop facilities to just disable the card ( added bonus it want draw power). many laptops have a key combo or switch to disable wifi
[20:45] <malikeye|123> Jordan_U, it says "KVM acceleration can be used"
[20:46] <kitallis> hm
[20:46] <malikeye|123> so I'm guessing it's not then
[20:46] <kitallis> :/
[20:46] <ddrj> erUSUL: well, i want to disable the built in wireless card in the laptop and only use the usb wifi card, is that possible to do with ubuntu?
[20:46] <malikeye|123> I just used the KVM doc on the ubuntu site... I usually use fedora, but this laptop like ubuntu better, so
[20:46] <erUSUL> ddrj: as i said doing that depends on hardware on most laptops
[20:46] <Jordan_U> malikeye|123: No, that means that it is avialable.
[20:46] <KaOSoFt> Just a basic question... I have the /var/www/nginx-default/ folder, which comes with owner and group as www-data, the owner can read and write, and the group just read. My question is: MY username, is there a way to let it edit files in that folder? Should I set it as the owner, or as the group with read and write privileges? I don't want other stuff going nuts (like WordPress or Joomla not saving if a setting changes).
[20:46] <malikeye|123> Jordan_U, but does it mean it's not enabled?
[20:46] <erUSUL> ddrj: they usually have a button to turn off/on the wifi
[20:47] <Slart> GeekSquid: just found something called imapfilter.. seems to be a little more lightweight than horde
[20:47] <ddrj> erUSUL: hm... yes, weird part is... when i turn off the wifi button on the laptop, the usb card doesn't work x(
[20:47] <Jordan_U> malikeye|123: No, everything is configured properly.
[20:47] <malikeye|123> k
[20:47] <erUSUL> ddrj: maybe it acts on both...
[20:47] <GeekSquid> Slart: hmm, sounds promising
[20:47] <erUSUL> ddrj: try with the rfkill command
[20:47] <ddrj> erUSUL: hmm... yeah... i got an idea tho.. what about disabling it via bios? if that doesn't work, i'll try rfkill
[20:47] <_KAMI_> aeon-ltd: I removen slmodem too
[20:47] <erUSUL> ddrj: or blacklist the internal wifi driver
[20:47] <kesroesweyth> ddrj > physically remove the internal card. many laptops have panels that pop off the bottom of the machine to allow easy access to the card
[20:48] <kyngdom> hey fellas, if i deleted my linux partition and am seeing grub-service>, am i fairly hosed if i want to set windows as the boot ?
[20:48] <Jordan_U> malikeye|123: Is the IO performance of the ssd (just using it outside the VM) pretty good?
[20:48] <erUSUL> !blacklist
[20:48] <malikeye|123> Jordan_U, yes, very
[20:48] <ddrj> thanks, checking
[20:48] <erUSUL> ddrj: kesroesweyth suggestion is sound too
[20:48] <malikeye|123> the machine is idle, the disk is pretty much idle, no I/O wait...
[20:48] <Jordan_U> kyngdom: You're going to need a LiveCD / USB to recover.
[20:49] <hotfloppy> search usb_modeswitch
[20:49] <malikeye|123> actually now there is some I/O wait goin on
[20:49] <GeekSquid> ddrj: possibly under the keyboard, or behind the screen, depends on the laptop, I can remove my WIfi Card without turning it off, just lift the keyboard and snap
[20:49] <kyngdom> of ubuntu im assuming
[20:49] <kyngdom> ?
[20:49] <kesroesweyth> ddrj > note that the interal card is not hot swappable. power the machine off and remove the battery prior to removing the card
[20:49] <kesroesweyth> internal*
[20:49] <hotfloppy> !search usb_modeswitch
[20:49] <malikeye|123> yeah, 10+ I/O wait now
[20:49] <ddrj> hmmm
[20:50] <malikeye|123> during an install of some AV
[20:50] <ddrj> ok let me check
[20:50] <hotfloppy> !usb_modeswitch
[20:50] <Jordan_U> kyngdom: Any liveCD will do, or Super GRUB Disk.
[20:50] <GeekSquid> ddrj: kesroesweyth is right, I'd not reccommend removing anything without powering down
[20:50] <jumar> Hi! After nvidia install the Plymouth is just ugly. Tried all the stuff on the forums, and now i'm using in "quiet" without splash. Anyone has ideas for Nvidia 140nvs?
[20:50] <kyngdom> thank you for the help Jordan_U
[20:50] <Ahren_The_Magus> I'm running Hardy Heron, and wish to make a Live USB of Lucid for installation on a PC without a working CD-ROM drive.  I have already downloaded the applicable ISO file for a live CD, and have it in my home folder.  I tried following the directions for creation of a Live USB from the Ubuntu website, but I do not have a "Startup Disk Creator" within "System > Administration".  How do I proceed?
[20:50] <kesroesweyth> ddrj > what model is the laptop?
[20:50] <malikeye|123> Ahren_The_Magus, try unetbootin
[20:50] <ddrj> kesroesweyth: it's an older lenovo t61
[20:51] <GeekSquid> hotfloppy: there is really no easy way to do what you want, usb_modeswitch needs to be run before modprobing the card prior to running wvidal
[20:51] <ddrj> i have to find the actual model # tho
[20:51] <Ahren_The_Magus> malikeye|123: Where do I download or access "unetbootin"?
[20:51] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: are you hoping to recover the windows boot loader and wipe ubuntu?
[20:51] <hoe> i just installed windows 7 into a fresh partition, and am trying to resetup grub to allow me to dual boot windows and ubuntu, but something's wrong and i can't get grub to recognize the original installation
[20:51] <ddrj> but what about turning off the built in wifi card in bios? wouldn't that work?
[20:51] <Jordan_U> kyngdom: You're welcome. Do you want me to tell you how to do it now or should I wait untill you're connected to IRC from the LiveCD?
[20:51] <malikeye|123> sudo aptitude install unetbootin ?
[20:51] <jumar> Ahren, install udb-creator package vis synaptic
[20:51] <Ahren_The_Magus> malikeye|123: Thank you.  I'm still getting used to using the terminal.
[20:51] <kesroesweyth> ddrj > i want to say those were under the keyboard. the bios idea may work if you have that option in the bios at all
[20:51] <jumar> sorry... usb-creator
[20:51] <aeon-ltd> _KAMI_: wait did you need that for bluetooth?
[20:51] <virtualgeekhub> hoe: what does your menu.lst look like?
[20:51] <kesroesweyth> ddrj > only way to know is to try! =)
[20:52] <hoe> virtualgeekhub: apparently there isn't one
[20:52] <jumar> Ahren, type: sudo apt-get install usb-creator in terminal
[20:52] <hotfloppy> GeekSquid: doesnt matter either its easy or not.. but could you please lead me to some nice article regarding both of it ? or nice working keyword ?
[20:52] <ddrj> kesroesweyth: i am in bios right now, there's an option that says "wirless LAN Radio Frequency" , it's on on right now, turn it to off would disable the wireless card ?
[20:52] <Ahren_The_Magus> malikeye|123: Error> Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "unetbootin"
[20:52] <kyngdom> virtualgeekhub: that was my intention. i had deleted the partition in windows, completely forgetting to deal with grub first. Jordan_U: I am downloading and burning a livecd now. I will do my best to read and fix, but I may need to ask a question later.
[20:52] <hoe> virtualgeekhub: sorry trying to reget grub cause it's not on this live cd
[20:52] <guntbert> hoe: he is probably using grub2
[20:52] <Ahren_The_Magus> jumar: Trying your command instead.
[20:52] <virtualgeekhub> hoe: have you tried booting from live cd and reinstalling grub that way?
[20:52] <hotfloppy> GeekSquid: been searching thru google & tried many tutorial but still no luck.. :(
[20:52] <hoe> guntbert: how do i set that up? never used it :E
[20:53] <malikeye|123> man, this VM is flatlined and it has the whole machine to work with, basically
[20:53] <malikeye|123> boo
[20:53] <hoe> virtualgeekhub: I'm currently on the live cd trying to figure out how to do it :)
[20:53] <Ahren_The_Magus> jumar: Error> E: Couldn't find package usb-creator
[20:53] <kesroesweyth> ddrj > odd that it uses the term 'frequency' to describe the function of that bios option, but seeing as how it is a yes or no question, id go with yes.
[20:53] <Jordan_U> hoe: What is the output of "sudo os-prober"?
[20:53] <hoe> /dev/sda3:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain
[20:53] <hoe> /dev/sda6:Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (10.04):Ubuntu:linux
[20:53] <jumar> Ahren, i'm checking it
[20:53] <ddrj> kesroesweyth: thanks, here goes nothing :D
[20:53] <guntbert> !grub2 | hoe
[20:53] <Ahren_The_Magus> jumar: *nods*
[20:54] <Jordan_U> hoe: Then just "sudo update-grub" (from within the installed system, not a liveCD) should add windows to the menu automagically.
[20:54] <hotfloppy> GeekSquid: after editing usb_modeswitch.conf, run it via terminal, got an error bout hex string not valid..
[20:54] <kesroesweyth> ddrj > on the edge of my seat xD
[20:54] <jumar> Ahren, the new one's name is: usb-creator-gtk
[20:54] <jumar> so, it's: sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk
[20:54] <Ahren_The_Magus> jumar: Error:E: Couldn't find package usb-creator-gtk
[20:54] <GeekSquid> hotfloppy: er, um, I don't have a solution for that card, I have only gotten a couple of cards to work, and the wern't Heweii, Got me stumped
[20:55] <kyngdom> virtualgeekhub: I am trying to find every reason to use ubuntu as my primary os, but i need a windows enviornment basically every week day and i've been apprehensive to use a vm
[20:55] <hoe> Jordan_U: I can't get into the system, only into windows :E
[20:55] <foolguy> hey, how do I connect to a windows printer on ubuntu?
[20:55] <D4NG3R> i need help
[20:55] <D4NG3R> im trying to convert a .rpm to .deb
[20:55] <D4NG3R> and i get this
[20:55] <D4NG3R> ien -k xchat-2.8.8-0.fc13.x86_64.rpm

[20:55] <Ahren_The_Magus> jumar: Keep in mind, I'm running in Hardy right now, to make the Live USB for a Lucid install.
[20:55] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: what is stopping you from using a virtual machine?
[20:55] <guntbert> !rpm | D4NG3R
[20:56] <hotfloppy> GeekSquid: oh.. thats okay.. just trying my luck here :)
[20:56] <Pirolocito> D4NG3R, xchat has deb bynarys
[20:56] <jumar> Oh, sorry, Ahren, i misread, i thought you're using Lucid, so i will check a package on the web for you
[20:56] <Jordan_U> hoe: I thought you already had grub installed, to install grub2 from the liveCD follow: grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[20:56] <Ahren_The_Magus> jumar: *nods* Thank you.
[20:57] <kyngdom> virtualgeekhub: i suppose my biggest concern was a) interactivity with usb ports and other interfaces, and b) the overall performance degredation of running a VM , although that was just something I assumed. I have no real basis to say whether the performance would drop dramatically
[20:57] <jumar> Ahren_Tha_Magus: follow this link - http://ubuntuliving.blogspot.com/2008/11/usb-creator-for-hardy.html

[20:58] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: Legitimate concerns. Well what does your hardware look like?
[20:58] <kyngdom> not too shabby really, dual-core 2.2GHZ intel, 4 gigs of ram, intel IGP
[20:58] <Ahren_The_Magus> jumar: Thank you, loading the page now.
[20:58] <D4NG3R> i get this

[20:58] <jumar> okay
[20:59] <notracking> hey mates tell me an MMORPG that will work on ubunt without an emulator and its compatible on my PC: processor 1.8 448 mb RAM. PRIVATE PLS!!!!
[20:59] <unop> bullgard4, how did you unmount this device?
[20:59] <ddrj> hmm... no internet now after i disabled the onboard wifi card x( even with the usb wifi card plugged in
[20:59] <guntbert> !pm | notracking
[20:59] <guntbert> !caps | notracking
[21:00] <bullgard4> unop: I used Disk Mounter 2.30.0.
[21:00] <ubutom> ddrj, don't know if that has anything to do with it at all, but there are some chips out there that are transmitting bluetooth and w-lan
[21:00] <notracking> so does somebody know a geme?
[21:00] <notracking> game
[21:00] <novastar> Does anyone know the fix to the CUPS not connecting to localhost? i tried rebooting cups, and it worked previously, but not anymore
[21:00] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: With that hardware you should be able to run a windows environment just fine ;)
[21:00] <miniuser> notracking: try this: http://www.nyse.com/
[21:01] <unop> bullgard4, chances are, disk mounter also ejects the device after dismounting it..  use the 'umount' command instead - it doesn't do an eject.
[21:01] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: Virtualized of course...
[21:01] <notracking> tnx
[21:01] <ddrj> ubutom: it's kinda weird... if i enable the builtin wifi card and plugin the usb wifi card, i get internet. so then i remove the usb wifi card and network manager says i'm disconnected but then it falls back on the built in laptop wifi card and finds a network to connect to
[21:01] <darkmoon_> Anyone from Hong Kong here?
[21:01] <miniuser> ur welcome : P
[21:01] <ddrj> ubutom: kinda weird right? i just want it to use the usb wifi card and not the built in one
[21:01] <Pici> D4NG3R: Like someone said before, xchat is in the Ubuntu repositories, there is no reason to use alien to try to convert a Fedora rpm into deb to install it.
[21:02] <LA2> Ubuntu 10.04 + Firefox + certain images or videos = total mess-up of my screen. To fix it, I have to log out and login again (i.e. restart X windows).
[21:02] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: This is one of my main motivators for virtualizing most things, it can make things much easier (in some cases!).
[21:02] <jim> is daemontools available as a ubuntu package under 9.10?
[21:02] <GeekSquid> darkmoon_: /join #ubuntu-hk
[21:02] <ubutom> ddrj, would try what the other's suggested, removing the internal one.
[21:02] <darkmoon_> Thanks GeekSquid
[21:03] <GeekSquid> notracking: see here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CB4QFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.brighthub.com%2Fvideo-games%2Fmmo%2Farticles%2F20510.aspx&rct=j&q=mmorpg+ubuntu&ei=ohYhTNHZBdCRnwfthoVR&usg=AFQjCNF9Gy1cdhvKnlnN2T5tEEB_vy-hmA&sig2=9j4m6zWqZQtRpVszNtLXAw
[21:03] <ddrj> thanks guys, i guess that's my last resort, i'll do that
[21:03] <kyngdom> so if i am completely virgin to linux (which i am for all intents and purposes, besides a few installations and abandonments), should i go windows with an ubuntu vm or ubuntu with a windows vm?
[21:03] <TLoFP> I need to delete a folder with some million files in it.  rm -r asks me stupid questions like: do you want to descent into xxxx; do you want to delete regular file yyy.  How can I make this quicker?
[21:03] <user01> does ubuntu use alt special characters?
[21:03] <Pici> TLoFP: use the -f argument as well.
[21:03] <user01> alt + 130 = é ?
[21:04] <TLoFP> Pici: thanks
[21:04] <user01> im trying to figure out where that all came from
[21:04] <ddrj> woahhhhh, everyone who helped me, i am so sorry to have wasted ur time, i just realized whta happened
[21:05] <kyngdom> virtualgeekhub: so if i am completely virgin to linux (which i am for all intents and purposes, besides a few installations and abandonments), should i go windows with an ubuntu vm or ubuntu with a windows vm?
[21:05] <ubutom> kyngdom, both works, you can even swap the vms between the oses, have dualboot and created another ubuntu and windows installation in a vm just to mess around and then I used the same two with windows and linux just to mess around too ;D
[21:05] <malikeye|123> I think ubuntu is throttling my CPU when this laptop is plugged in
[21:05] <kyngdom> ok
[21:05] <superannuatedgee> I have just installed Ubuntu server.  It of course has a command line interface.  The documentation seems to imply that I can install Gnome  and use it for many tasks.  Is it sufficient to apt-get gnome? Or do I need to install other stuff too?
[21:06] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: This is of course preference, I personally run Windows in a vm on an Ubuntu host, however I started the other way around.
[21:06] <GeekSquid> malikeye|123: that happens by default
[21:06] <kyngdom> ok
[21:06] <kyngdom> well i certainly appreciate the input from you all
[21:06] <ddrj> ubuntu was using BOTH the wifi cards to connect to the net, so i went into network manager, and disconnected the network that the built in wifi card was using and only left it connected on the usb wifi card
[21:06] <kyngdom> thank you for being so helpful: )
[21:06] <ubutom> malikeye|123, you can add cpu frequency applet to the taskbar and set the behaviour
[21:07] <tic^> superannuatedgee:  why didn't you just install desktop version to start with?
[21:07] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: Why don't you run an ubuntu vm from a Windows host first just to get the feel for Ubuntu? Then when your brave you can flip that scenario.
[21:07] <malikeye|123> yeah, it's throttling these 1.60GHz down to 900MHz :(
[21:08] <kyngdom> i suppose the best thing to do in that case would be to just force myself to work from within that vm
[21:08] <jim> is daemontools available as a ubuntu package under 9.10?
[21:08] <ubutom> malikeye|123, HAve a dualcore here and added two applets, chose on one cpu0 on the other cpu1 and can also set the mode with a click on it
[21:08] <GeekSquid> jim: should be
[21:08] <malikeye|123> ubutom, which app is that?
[21:08] <durt> jim, check out packages.ubuntu.com
[21:08] <malikeye|123> the XFCE one doesn't control it
[21:09] <guntbert> jim: why would you need them?
[21:09] <superannuatedgee> Mostly I was assuming that there is a reason why there exsists a server version.  Also, I need the server functionality.  I don't need to be able to manage my photo collection.
[21:09] <guntbert> !iso | jim
[21:09] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: If your going to be going that route whats our next move?
[21:09] <ubutom> malikeye|123, right click the upper taskbar and choose add to panel
[21:09] <kyngdom> well at this point im burning a livecd to repair grub
[21:10] <GeekSquid> superannuatedgee: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will install everyting you need for a desktop install with gnome
[21:10] <jim> why? mainly because openacs and daemontools seem to get along well
[21:10] <kyngdom> once that's done, i will create a new vm and install 10.04
[21:10] <ubutom> malikeye|123, then go down until you see something like monitor cpu-frequency, have another locale than english here, so it can be named otherwise :)
[21:10] <malikeye|123> ubutom, I'm using XFCE and that XFCE one doesn't actually control it... are you using gnome?
[21:10] <tic^> yes you can install gnome-desktop to the server edition, but your defeating the purpose of the server with teh overhead of the desktop software.
[21:10] <Dittersdorf> Hi people. Does anyone having any trouble with Nautilus after the last update? (10.04)
[21:10] <kraut> why is nautilus able to follow symlinks on smbfs and the bash not?
[21:10] <ubutom> malikeye|123, yeah, I use gnome
[21:10] <malikeye|123> so what is the gnome-app called :)
[21:10] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: That's cool, don't worry we were ALL new to Ubuntu once too, now it's second nature ;)
[21:11] <kyngdom> i have often considered switching my server 08 machine to ubuntu server as well, to assuage my piracy concerns
[21:11] <kyngdom> but i figured that was a bit too heavyhanded for a first proecjt
[21:11] <kyngdom> project*
[21:11] <ubutom> malikeye|123, hhhm, good question :)
[21:11] <guntbert> jim: handling an iso is much simpler here - see the hint from ubottu above
[21:11] <malikeye|123> ubutom, right click it and hit "About"
[21:11] <bullgard4> unop: Now: '~$ sudo mkfs -c /dev/sdb1; Checking for bad blocks (read-only test): done; Writing inode tables: done; Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done; This filesystem will be automatically checked every 38 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.' -- Is this a effective test for a thumb drive? Or do you recommend another one?
[21:12] <tic^> superannuatedgee: why not install gnome-desktop and install only the services you need from there? unless you install all the server services.
[21:12] <ubutom> malikeye|123, as I said, using another language than english :(
[21:12] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: Yeah maybe that can be your crowning achievement once you get the hand of Ubuntu.
[21:12] <malikeye|123> k
[21:12] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: *hang
[21:12] <unop> bullgard4, i would say this is enough - it doesn't seem to have found anything wrong with the filesystem.
[21:13] <bullgard4> unop: Thank you very much for your excellent help.
[21:13] <ubutom> malikeye|123, think cpufreq-applet, thats at least what appears as task
[21:13] <malikeye|123> k
[21:14] <virtualgeekhub> kyngdom: Funny though, I just switched from Server 08, I migrated my web site to Ubuntu (Apache), for the same concerns you have, Piracy...
[21:14] <unop> kraut, what does the symlink point to??
[21:14] <superannuatedgee> I certainly could have started with Desktop, but I really would be happier if I could simply fire up the desktop when I wished to interact with stuff and then quit it when I was finished.  I gather this is an idea born of naivite
[21:14] <unop> kraut,  readlink -f your_link
[21:14] <kraut> unop: to /home/temp
[21:14] <malikeye|123> not seeing that package... but looking at the forums
[21:14] <kyngdom> virtualgeekhub: im trying to be as legit as possible and the only real sore thumb sticking out in my entire lan seems to be my server
[21:14] <unop> kraut, ok, so what makes you think bash is unable to deal with it?
[21:15] <GeekSquid> superannuatedgee: learn to interact with command line, not much you cannot do
[21:15] <kyngdom> and im not going to pay 1200 bucks just to have active directory
[21:15] <Dittersdorf> hi. My nautilus is starting with 170 mb memory (in a new session). It used to start with 70mb. Is that ordinary?
[21:15] <kyngdom> hell i won't even get a technet subscription just for that
[21:15] <ubutom> malikeye|123, yeah, confirmed, I killed it to try and the applets disappeared :)
[21:15] <kyngdom> well, obviously there are a few other good things about a server, but the point is still that i won't buy it
[21:15] <kraut> unop: /home/temp is not within the cifs share
[21:16] <tic^> like i said, you can install gnome desktop on the server edition, but you may not get the performance you exspect because the cup's will be watching for service calls for the desktop while watching for calls for the server.
[21:16] <tic^> superannuatedgee: cpu's
[21:17] <Dittersdorf> lag
[21:17] <unop> kraut, where on the filesystem does this link exist?  or does it not exist at all and this is a samba user home directory share?
[21:17] <virtualgeekhub> Yeah Active Directory is a bit pricey, then you need CAL's, all kinds of money spent.
[21:18] <virtualgeekhub> lol I keep hitting Shift + Page Up, to scroll the chat windows up, habits die hard...
[21:18] <Dittersdorf> hi. My nautilus is starting with 170 mb memory (in a new session). It used to start with 70mb. Is that ordinary?
[21:19] <malikeye|123> ubutom, can you do this? dpkg --search cpufreq-applet
[21:19] <ubutom> Dittersdorf, mine sleeps and has 23MB right now
[21:19] <ubutom> malikeye|123, did it already, didn'T come up with a result
[21:20] <malikeye|123> hmm
[21:20] <malikeye|123> fully qualify the path?
[21:20] <Dittersdorf> ubuntom - it started after I updated the system this morning. where should I report it?
[21:20] <solar_george> does anyone around here know which of full encryption of a /home partition using luks or home directory encryption with ecryptfs has the best performance / is most robust?
[21:20] <ubutom> oh, ok malikeye|123 , I just used aptitude search, actually it returns many stuff ;)
