[00:00] <eremite> wjm: Try Google Chrome.  Its much faster according to all of the tests Ive seen, and my personal use of it affirms that its much, much faster than anything else.
[00:00] <WhiteDawn> wjm: running x86_64?
[00:00] <wjm> no, x86 right now
[00:00] <wjm> it happens on both x86 and x64
[00:00] <WhiteDawn> wjm: well there goes all my ideas
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> Systeck: no word of a lie dude
[00:00] <wjm> I've swapped out flash for gnash
[00:00] <wjm> and it still happens
[00:00] <wjm> and it's only two particular sites
[00:00]  * SysTeck bows.. till then this is what we have
[00:00] <DarkStar1> ActionParsnip: hey parsnip.. You ever used phpsysinfo?
[00:00] <elb0w`> Anyone know why im getting this error when trying to run UEC?  libvirt: internal error no supported architecture for os type 'hvm' (code=1)
[00:00] <WhiteDawn> wjm: try another browser? there are alternatives
[00:00] <wjm> I tried Chrome and FireFox
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> Darkstar1: not as far as I am aware
[00:01] <wjm> but FireFox produces an error message
[00:01] <wjm> Chrome doesn't
[00:01] <abstrakt> hi, i was in here the other day asking about and was basically successful in editing my grub config to change the default boot item
[00:01] <wjm> still freezes on the same two sites
[00:01] <WhiteDawn> wjm: can you paste bin the firefox error?
[00:01] <abstrakt> i'd like to change the default again but i don't remember what file i specifically should edit, since things are diff now with the latest grub
[00:01] <wjm> WhiteDawn: will do
[00:01] <wjm> paste.ubuntu right ?
[00:01] <Eighteens> i installed ubuntu 8.01 on a older machine today, it did well during install, nice screens, mouse and keyboard worked, then after installation it freezes when i try to go into X, so then i tried startx -- -depth 16 and it went, but then i have no mouse, and keyboard is unresposive
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> Wjm: try the firefox ppa. Chromium daily is sweeeet
[00:01] <abstrakt> what file do i actually change to update the default grub selection?
[00:01] <WhiteDawn> wjm: pastebin works too
[00:01] <wjm> ActionParsnip: using ppa right now 3.7-current
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> Wja: gotcha
[00:02] <iustinian> abstrakt: /etc/defult/grub
[00:02] <wjm> yeah, I'm technically minded :P
[00:02] <eremite> Eighteens: possibly force the vesa drivers?  Had a similar problem with another distro once and the vesa drivers saved the day.
[00:02] <wjm> I just can't figure this out
[00:02] <wjm> lol
[00:02] <wjm> WhiteDawn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/400859/
[00:02] <darkvoid82> question from a new ubuntu user. how exaclty does one mount the dvdrom drive. is it put disc in and it runs like in windows or are there commands one must type in?
[00:03] <eremite> darkvoid82: just put the DVD in and wait for the pop-up asking you what you would like to do.
[00:03] <smerz> Hey FloodBot1 is your job protection or flooding? ^_^
[00:03] <wjm> I think FD is file descriptors no?
[00:03] <abstrakt> iustinian, ok cool, got it, so now don't i have to run a grub update script or something?
[00:03] <darkvoid82> eremite, i put a dvd in and got nothing
[00:03] <iustinian> abstrakt: yes indeed
[00:03] <smerz> darkvoid82, is it a dvd video you want to watch?
[00:03] <eremite> darkvoid82: be aware of the fact that many DVDs do not work on computers due to copyright DRM.  You need to install the proper codecs to break through that veil.
[00:03] <abstrakt> iustinian, k and what script is that?
[00:03] <dmdevotee> hey, i installed flashplugin-installer from the repos, but when i go to youtube, it continues asking me for installing flash player. what's the matter?
[00:04] <Typos_King> wjm:   what firefox version?   how did you install it?
[00:04] <MaT-dg> how to share internet connection with an ah-hoc wireless network (with GUI)?
[00:04] <Eighteens> whats the command line to foce a ps2 mouse, it worked during install, but wont work when X tries to load
[00:04] <iustinian> abstrakt: update-grub
[00:04] <abstrakt> iustinian, k thx
[00:04] <wjm> Typos_King: with 3.5 at first - then tried PPA then tried Chrome
[00:04] <darkvoid82> smerz: yes, eremite: ah that would make sense, any idea which codecs I might need
[00:04] <toyman61> eremite: No, not so far..
[00:04] <Typos_King> wjm:   tried getting the .bz2 package from mozilla.org yet?
[00:05] <smerz> darkvoid82, install "ubuntu-restrictedextras" or something. hang on ill look it up
[00:05] <eremite> toyman61: what?"
[00:05] <wjm> not yet, that was gonna be the next idea
[00:05] <WhiteDawn> wjm: http://bit.ly/bhM23m
[00:05] <darkvoid82> smerz: i've got the restricted extras
[00:05] <Typos_King> wjm:   that's what I use, it requires no install btw, just unzip, and run
[00:05] <eremite> darkvoid82: open yoru add/remove apps utility and search for Restricted Extras\
[00:05] <eremite> nm
[00:05] <ubutom> dmdevotee, using lucid?
[00:06] <smerz> darkvoid82, "sudo apt-get install libdvdread4"
[00:06] <WhiteDawn> wjm: its in launchpad as a upstream bug
[00:06] <wjm> WhiteDawn: yeah just saw that
[00:06] <wjm> Lemme try that
[00:07] <smerz> darkvoid82, install that package. Then try putting the dvd back in again. Otherwise you could just open vlc (a media player I'd highly recommend) and select "File" -> "open disc"
[00:07] <darkvoid82> eremite: i remember geting them, smerz: got thr libdvdread4
[00:07] <Dougwiser> ok I wanna buy an all in one printer that is fully supported in ubuntu
[00:07] <wjm> WhiteDawn: am I supposed to add this key/value to about:config or is it supposed to be there?
[00:08] <dmdevotee> ubutom: lucid is name for 9.10? yes, lucid
[00:08] <toyman61> eremite: No, I have not tried any other sound formats so far..
[00:08] <WhiteDawn> wjm: should be there, if not you can add it
[00:08] <smerz> darkvoid82, then i'd suggest vlc media player. "sudo apt-get install vlc". Then under applications -> sound & video -> Vlc media player. Then "File" -> "open disc"
[00:08] <ubutom> dmdevotee, no, 9.10 is karmic. well, never mind, i upgraded from 8.04lts to lucid and had some problems with flashplugin-installer too
[00:08] <eremite> toyman61: well them you should.
[00:08] <ar0n> hi guys, anyone around to give me help, just a few questions
[00:08] <smerz> darkvoid82, but normally a popup should come just like in windows
[00:09] <ar0n> i installed a repo that had my nic and vid card drivers
[00:09] <dmdevotee> sorry, my mystake, i am using 9.10
[00:09] <darkvoid82> smerz: ok thanks, i'll look into that
[00:09] <Trek> !ask | ar0n
[00:09] <DarkStar1> can someone here help me with phpsysinfo pls?
[00:09] <ar0n> it may of been like a restricted
[00:09] <ar0n> i know sorry i have good manners
[00:09] <Trek> !enter | ar0n
[00:09] <iustinian> Dougwiser: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters
[00:09] <dmdevotee> ubutom: i am using 9.10, the last stable, not the beta
[00:09] <DarkStar1> ANyone?
[00:10] <darkvoid82> smerz: no pop ups for dvd music cd or data cd
[00:10] <ubutom> dmdevotee, no problem, I just thought maybe it was related. I couldn't remove or install it ;)
[00:10] <toyman61> OK. But I have nearly 30 GB of sound-data in mp3-format. If I must convert them to i.e. Ogg-Vorbis I will go back to Windows again.. :-(
[00:10] <ar0n> jesus really lol? so yes it was like a repo i had to add becuase ubuntu quit carrying it..anyone have any idea?
[00:10] <wjm> WhiteDawn: looks like FF is still freezing on the site though :(
[00:10] <metbsd> is ubuntu the best? cuz im gonna play it
[00:10] <toyman61> eremite: OK. But if I must convert my 30 GB of mp3's to i.e. Ogg-Vorbis then I will consider going back to Windows again..
[00:10] <ubutom> dmdevotee, tryusing software-center from menu and search for adobe
[00:10] <iustinian> toyman61: look for fluendo mp3 decoder
[00:10] <zachster10> hello
[00:11] <smerz> toyman61, why do you want to convert mp3 to ogg? I got all my music as mp3
[00:11] <sik4moret> hello
[00:11] <iustinian> toyman61: it is a legal gstreamer plugin
[00:11] <ubutom> dmdevotee, I just installed the firefox extension and flash works fine now
[00:12] <WhiteDawn> wjm: apparently its a bug in the PPA for firefox
[00:12] <wjm> WhiteDawn: yeah it's affecting 3.5 and 3.6 though too
[00:12] <toyman61> smerz: I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 (64-bits) and have migrated from Windows. I have lots of mp3's, but I am not able to get any sound through my loadspeakers..
[00:12] <iustinian> last time i checked mplayer was working ok with mp3s
[00:12] <wjm> also happens in Chrome
[00:12] <sik4mpret> :D
[00:12] <toyman61> smerz: Somebody told me to try another sound format. Then I suggested Ogg-Vorbis..
[00:12] <smerz> toyman61, well rest assured. That has nothing to do with your music beeing in the mp3 format
[00:13] <dmdevotee> i can't even install it from http://get.adobe.com/es/flashplayer/ for firefox
[00:13] <darkvoid82> !tab
[00:13] <smerz> toyman61, so you get no sound whatsoever that's your issue right?
[00:13] <toyman61> smerz: I know. But I have installed restricted formats-package, and was trying to play a music CD through Rythmbox. But no sound whatsever..
[00:13] <Typos_King> toyman61:   check your mixer setting/sliders
[00:14] <toyman61> Typos_King: I have set all my mixer settings (alasmixer) to max.
[00:14] <iustinian> some channels are muted by default
[00:14] <smerz> toyman61, I dont think its a format issue. mp3 is just fine :). Do you have multiple sound cards?
[00:15] <toyman61> smerz: Only one sound card. Works great under Windows XP SP3. I have only disabled the Windows disk and installed Ubuntu another disk.
[00:15] <toyman61> another disk = on another disk
[00:15] <iustinian> toyman61: what soundcard is that ?
[00:15] <smerz> toyman61, alright. Right click on the speaker icon at the top right. Select sound preferences
[00:15] <amaurea> Hello. I have an application I am trying to run fullscreen, but the task bar and other bar still show up and take up considerable space. How can I get them not to show up when running a game in fullscreen?
[00:16] <smerz> toyman61, select the "output" tab. There will be multiple outputs for your soundcard. Try them all while playing music. Make sure sound isn't muted in either the music player or the icon @ top right
[00:16] <toyman61> iustinian: Realtek audio (embedded on the MSI motherboard)
[00:17] <ubutom> amaurea,right click on the bars and selec auto-hide
[00:17] <toyman61> smerz: I will
[00:17] <WhiteDawn> amaurea: you could set the bar to auto hide,
[00:17] <smerz> realtek should be just fine toyman61
[00:17] <Fresh> Do i have to use screen to have rtorrent running
[00:17] <Typos_King> toyman61:   what does -> lshw -C sound;   give  you as driver?
[00:17] <Fresh> Do i have to use screen to have rtorrent running while doing other things?
[00:17] <iustinian> Fresh: i think so
[00:18] <sik4mpret> ehmm.
[00:18] <iustinian> Fresh: unless rtorrent is working as a frontend for a demon
[00:18] <sik4mpret> can u help me??
[00:18] <WhiteDawn> Fresh: if you want to run a program in the background and its in cli, put a "&" at the end of command
[00:18] <sik4mpret> i have some problems
[00:18] <iustinian> i use deluge in command line
[00:18] <toyman61> smerz: The sound was simply muted.. I just found out. Works fine now. Thanx to everybody for helping me with this!!!
[00:18] <smerz> toyman61, you're welcome
[00:18] <kidovate> Hello?
[00:18] <Fresh> iustinian: how do i acess it after the ampersand
[00:18] <amaurea> ubutom, WhiteDawn: ok, I'll try that. I do like to have the bars there when I'm in normal resolution, though, and the game isn't in full screen. What does the expand option in the panel properties mean?
[00:18] <kidovate> How do you install software from a ppa??
[00:19] <sik4mpret> helllooo....
[00:19] <sik4mpret> help me out
[00:19] <harisund> kidovate: You add the PPA as a repository and then search for softwares as you normally would
[00:19] <WhiteDawn> sik4mpret: ask the question, then ppl will help you
[00:19] <bazhang> sik4mpret, ask a question
[00:19] <toyman61> But here's another problem: My D-Link DWA-140 installed fine, and it works!  But I only get 54 Mbps speed even though both the adapter and the router is 802.11n. How do I solve this ?
[00:19] <ubutom> if you deavtivate it it gets thinner amurea
[00:19] <smerz> kidovate, you need to add the ppa to /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:19] <Fresh> whitedawn: how do i get back to it after i use &
[00:19] <ubutom> if you deavtivate it it gets thinner amaurea
[00:19] <smerz> kidovate, next you need to import the ppa key
[00:19] <toyman61> Typos_King: Problem solved. The loudspeaker was muted. But thanx for your interest!
[00:19] <harisund> smerz: there's a better way than that, you shouldn't be adding it to/etc/apt/sources.list directly .. there's a command whch adds it to /etc/sources.list.d
[00:19] <WhiteDawn> Fresh: that i don't know, you can kill it though if you want it to quit
[00:19] <smerz> kidovate, now you can just use "sudo apt-get install packagename" or the package manager to install
[00:20] <smerz> harisund, oh can you give more info on that? I never heard of that
[00:20] <iustinian> toyman61: 802.1n is pretty much still experimental it depends on the actual implementations
[00:20] <Fresh> WhiteDawn: im getting closer to answering this question
[00:20] <kidovate> harisund: I added it but I cant find the software... Can you recommend how? It's here - https://launchpad.net/~ajmitch/+archive/ppa
[00:20] <harisund> smerz: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
[00:20] <Typos_King> heh
[00:20] <Fresh> WhiteDawn: thank you
[00:21] <smerz> harisund, and that takes care of the key as well?
[00:21] <PlaHPoy> is there any need to purchase RE3 or RE4 server drives if I am running RAID1,  seems with the fault tolerence I could run 2 black editions and save 150 bucks.... ???
[00:21] <toyman61> iustinian: But I thought the IEEE 802.11n standard had gone from experimental to a clear standard.
[00:21] <harisund> smerz: I believe so yes
[00:21] <WhiteDawn> Fresh: no problem
[00:21] <smerz> harisund, well thanks thats good to know :)
[00:21] <harisund> kidovate: Once you have added it, do an apt-get update and search for the package
[00:21] <harisund> smerz: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware
[00:21] <toyman61> It works great on Windows XP SP3..
[00:22] <iustinian> toyman61: indeed but not all the producers have updated their lines of products
[00:22] <kidovate> harisund: I already did. I cant find it
[00:22] <smerz> kidovate, "sudo apt-get update" You need to update the repository first
[00:22] <billy_> can someone help when i try connecting to my webpage through filezilla it wont work and no-one is on the offical page
[00:22] <kidovate> smerz: I already did that
[00:22] <harisund> smerz: apparently he did. kidovate if you did, are you searching for the packagename correctly?
[00:22] <kidovate> That's what I asked you
[00:23] <kidovate> The listed name doesn't seem to work...
[00:23] <toyman61> iustinian: I see. D-Link does not offer Linux-drivers for this adapter, but there is drivers available for Ubuntu. One driver is shipped with the 9.10-edition..
[00:23] <harisund> kidovate: boost1.38  is what youare trying to install?
[00:23] <kidovate> Yeah
[00:23] <kidovate> Not showing up
[00:23] <iustinian> toyman61: if N is implementd in the kernel module it should work
[00:24] <rixxy> how do I give a secondary drive formatted with ext4 read/write priveliges in karmic
[00:24] <toyman61> iustinian: How do I find out ?  I'm a newbie on Linux...
[00:24] <kidovate> harisund: Not found
[00:24] <billy_> does anyone know anything about filezilla? i really need help?
[00:24] <kidovate> When I do a apt-get install
[00:24] <smerz> rixxy, you could change the owner:group assignment
[00:24] <rixxy> in users and groups?
[00:24] <harisund> kidovate: let me check, is that the package you are trying to install though?
[00:24] <smerz> rixxy, no each file has an owner and a group assigned to it
[00:25] <kidovate> harisund: Yes
[00:25] <iustinian> toyman61: u need to check the changelog on the kernel modules sources i guess
[00:25] <smerz> rixxy, normally the owner has read/write
[00:25] <rixxy> smerz: so the default user created?
[00:25] <billy_> come on guys dosnt anyone know ho to upload files on filezilla?#
[00:25] <smerz> rixxy, if not you may have to change those permissions. But you need to check where the issue lies. Either wrong owner/grp or wrong permissions. Both can easily be fixed
[00:26] <toyman61> iustinian: That seems to be a too heavy job for me... I know Windows (and computers) very well, but I am not that familiar with Ubuntu..
[00:26] <iustinian> chmod 777 on the mounted directory
[00:26] <smerz> billy_, you're trying to use ftp right?
[00:26] <iustinian> or chown to own it
[00:26] <rixxy> alright, i will try it and get back here
[00:26] <smerz> chmod 777 works but could be overkill. I'd suggest chown as the most likely culprit
[00:26] <rixxy> thanks, smerz!
[00:27] <billy_> yeah but it wont let me upload?
[00:27] <smerz> billy_, any error messages?
[00:27] <billy_> no it says it cant connect
[00:28] <smerz> billy_, it doesn't give a reason (timeout for instance) ?
[00:28] <billy_> yh but im only on it for about 2 minutes
[00:29] <kidovate> harisund: Never mind, I found it :)
[00:29] <billy_> it says failed to recieve directory?
[00:29] <smerz> oh boy
[00:29] <smerz> billy_,
[00:29] <smerz> ah
[00:29] <billy_> it says failed to recieve directory?
[00:29] <smerz> billy_, is the ftp server managed by you?
[00:30] <smerz> in other words could it be the ftp server? or does it work from ie. windows or other computers
[00:31] <PeterT> my entire window is filled with netsplits

[00:42] <Copperred> good question...what is gnash
[00:42] <dsnyders> !gnash
[00:43] <IdleOne> Copperred: wait, you trying to install java or flash?
[00:43] <work> Hello, I am trying to figure out the address of my parallel port
[00:43] <IdleOne> Copperred: if it's java install sun-jre6-plugin
[00:43] <dsnyders> work, it is likely /dev/lp0
[00:43] <Copperred> hmmm
[00:44] <Copperred> i need to install Sun Java 1.5 or higher, or equivalent JRE
[00:44] <IdleOne> Copperred: sorry. it's sun-java6-plugin
[00:44] <Copperred> and then the plug in  i think.....
[00:45] <eremite> gnash is a free alternative to lash, but I hear it sucks.
[00:45] <eremite> flash**
[00:45] <jkd4> dsnyders: I don't have an "Accessibility" menu
[00:46] <Copperred> idleone brb
[00:48] <etzerd> hello all
[00:48] <Pirate_Hunter> im using the server.iso is there an option to format the whole disk or do I need to use gpart.iso
[00:48] <etzerd> how do i know what driver install for my video card?
[00:49] <ar0n> guys im having to reinstall on my lappy dual booting windows, i went to beta, it doesnt work, its my girls machine she likes ubuntu, so what is the easiest way to get data off, just two folders, move/shrink the home partition, or use live cd?
[00:49] <dsnyders> jkd4, does the onboard command work?
[00:49] <ar0n> id reshrink and move the home partition if that holds any information of value to making my reinstall go quicker
[00:50] <bloodrock> ar0n, use a livecd
[00:50] <ar0n> ok thahnks, also is it possible to just reinstall linux without formatting, keeping applications, and their settings
[00:50] <dsnyders> ar0n, livecd and usb drive
[00:51] <etzerd> how do i know what driver install for my video card?
[00:51] <ar0n> etzerd
[00:51] <ar0n> you can look up the manufacture
[00:51] <etzerd> ar0n
[00:51] <ar0n> google your pc, or google the command to display video driver information for ubuntu
[00:51] <ar0n> i dont know what it is off the top of my head buddy :(
[00:52] <sje46> I think someone tried to hack into my computer!
[00:52] <etzerd> I know the manufacture is intel, but I just want to make sure the right driver is install
[00:52] <sje46> let me find it...sorry
[00:52] <sje46> A user on the computer '::ffff:<IP_ADDRESS>' is trying to remotely view or control your desktop.  Do you want to allow them to do so?
[00:52] <sje46> I turned remote desktop off, of course
[00:52] <bloodrock> ar0n,  yes you can install without formatting if it same ver it may not overwrite home folder not sure
[00:52] <sje46> but I forgot to click no on the request, and I can't find it anywhere
[00:52] <ar0n> not worried ab out home
[00:53] <sje46> does it just disappear in time?
[00:53] <etzerd> because when I tried to move a windows it is swinging left to right, not solide at all
[00:53] <ar0n> i had to install some extra repos, as well as setting up my FF
[00:53] <ar0n> etzerd
[00:53] <ar0n> google for that command i said above
[00:53] <bloodrock> ar0n,  reinstalling will removed third party repos
[00:53] <ar0n> its out there.
[00:53] <dsnyders> etzerd, You may have a desktop "special effect" called wobbly windows installed
[00:54] <ar0n> is it possible to like, revert to an older install?
[00:54] <ar0n> beta boots into cli, wont load x, so its useless to her
[00:54] <IdleOne> ar0n: nope, just a fresh install
[00:54] <sje46> etzerd, right click your desktop
[00:54] <etzerd> dsnyders: how do I remove that?
[00:54] <ar0n> GAY'
[00:54] <ar0n> =P
[00:54] <sje46> etzerd, rightclick desktop, and select change desktop background
[00:54] <IdleOne> ar0n: #ubuntu+1 for help with lucid
[00:54] <ar0n> no need
[00:54] <abstrakt> hahaha, i just installed kukbuntu-desktop
[00:55] <yourmghq|skype> i have made progress in my problem
[00:55] <ar0n> ime done with there
[00:55] <abstrakt> that was epic fail
[00:55] <abstrakt> lol
[00:55] <bloodrock> you can but that will remove the newer
[00:55] <IdleOne> ar0n: remember, family friendly please :)
[00:55] <sje46> etzerd, then go to visual effects tab
[00:55] <sje46> and change it to medium
[00:55] <abstrakt> all i get is a terminal
[00:55] <abstrakt> no window manager
[00:55] <yourmghq|skype> so please heko
[00:55] <yourmghq|skype> help
[00:55] <sje46> normal* , etzerd
[00:55] <abstrakt> you would think that installing kubuntu-desktop would do the trick right?
[00:55] <bloodrock> ar0n, i take it you tryed the lucid beta
[00:55] <abstrakt> wrong... so, anyone know what i'm missing?
[00:55] <ar0n> yes
[00:55] <ar0n> lol
[00:55] <IdleOne> ar0n: done or not. this channel is not for lucid support so you wont be getting much if any help with it.
[00:55] <histo> abstrakt: yes it would do you have a display manager like kdm installed?
[00:55] <ar0n> im not asking for it
[00:56] <histo> ar0n: /j #ubuntu+1
[00:56] <abstrakt> histo, yeah i logged in using kdm
[00:56] <ar0n> or for anyhelp about it. im asking simple ubuntu help
[00:56] <IdleOne> ar0n: ok then like I explained to you yesterday about the fresh install and separate /home :)
[00:56] <histo> abstrakt: and kde doesn't load?
[00:56] <abstrakt> histo, when i installed kubuntu desktop, part of the configuration process asked me if wanted to use kdm or gdm, so i figured, hell i'll use kdm
[00:56] <bloodrock> he not looking for help with lucid he wants to go back to 9.04 or 9.10
[00:56] <ar0n> i was asking more spefic questions sorry
[00:56] <abstrakt> histo, apparntly not
[00:56] <abstrakt> histo, i can run konqueror from the terminal, but there's no window management happening
[00:56] <IdleOne> bloodrock: yup, got it :)
[00:56] <Alexisonfire> ...
[00:56] <histo> abstrakt: make sure you select on kdm you want kde as the default session
[00:57] <ar0n> bloodrock its ok thanks for the help
[00:57] <etzerd> sje46: thank you very much, it's solve
[00:57] <sje46> etzerd, no problem :)
[00:57] <abstrakt> histo, that shouldn't really matter though should it?
[00:57] <abstrakt> histo, i guess i'll try one more time and explicitly select KDE
[00:57] <abstrakt> brb
[00:57] <IdleOne> ar0n: would you like the link for the separate /home?
[00:57] <IdleOne> or do you still have it?
[00:57] <etzerd> sje46: do you tried the new version 10.04 Beta1 yet?
[00:57] <ar0n> no i still have it, i dont think its what i want
[00:57] <histo> abstrakt: you said your just getting terminal sounds like its loadin failsafe
[00:57] <sje46> etzerd, I have not.  I don't even know how to
[00:57] <IdleOne> ar0n: ubuntu does not have a revert back to previous install feature
[00:57] <ar0n> it wont help me save anything i cant get with a live cd, wont save settings etc
[00:58] <IdleOne> ar0n: so the only way is to do a fresh install
[00:58] <etzerd> just download the beta version and install
[00:58] <histo> !downgrade | ar0n
[00:58] <ar0n> so format a must?
[00:58] <dsnyders> ar0n, ... or just restore from your last backup.
[00:59] <yourmghq|skype> who can help me
[00:59] <sje46> etzerd, ah, okay.  I think I'll wait until it officially comes ou tthough
[00:59] <IdleOne> ar0n: only the install partition and the installer will do it for you
[00:59] <etzerd> because the last version 9.04 don't work with my new Dell Inspiron laptop
[00:59] <histo> ar0n: pretty much thats the easiest way. If you want to save all your files and settings just make a seperate /home
[00:59] <histo> etzerd: what happened?
[00:59] <ar0n> oh so will i point the new isntall at the other home i make?
[00:59] <histo> ar0n: yeap it will then mount it on boot
[00:59] <ar0n> so it will use that info or just for back up purposes...
[00:59] <yourmghq|skype> histo: i know what is wrong
[01:00] <histo> ar0n: you have to use the same username on the new install as you did on the old one though
[01:00] <Jork> Hello. Is somehow possible to get pytube for ubuntu, or some simillar app?
[01:00] <yourmghq|skype> it does not recognize /dev/sr0
[01:00] <IdleOne> ar0n: no, you point the install to where the old install is. your /home contains your data you dont want to format
[01:00] <histo> yourmghq|skype: huh?
[01:00] <etzerd> since I bought that laptop last month when I install the 9.04 version the screen went black, no graphic
[01:00] <yourmghq|skype> my dvd+rw
[01:00] <yourmghq|skype> histo my dvd+rw
[01:00] <histo> IdleOne: thats if /home is on a seperate partition
[01:00] <histo> yourmghq|skype: ahh did you get it working?
[01:00] <IdleOne> histo: from what I understood yesterday, it is already.
[01:00] <abstrakt> histo, aight, so KDE loads when I explicitly select KDE
[01:00] <histo> IdleOne: ohh yeah he's good to go then
[01:00] <yourmghq|skype> histo:  sadly no, it does not know what /dev/sr0 is
[01:01] <yourmghq|skype> i tried burning in gnomebaler
[01:01] <etzerd> because the video card is an Intel Accelerator HD which is not support by any of the distro out there
[01:01] <ar0n> hmm ok.. IdleOne om *not sure, it was a regular install..
[01:01] <hipitihop> I have a bluetooth keyboard
[01:01] <yourmghq|skype> histo i tried burning in gnomebaker
[01:01] <histo> abstrakt: yeah it sounds like it was loading a failsafe session where all you get is X and an xterm
[01:01] <abstrakt> histo, however, no internet... gnome works with both my wireless card and my WWAN
[01:01] <abstrakt> histo, yeh, kinda dumb imo, why isn't kdm already preconfigured to load either the last default or at least KDE, since it's kdm
[01:01] <histo> abstrakt: you may want to ask in #kubuntu I only have used gnome and other things
[01:01] <abstrakt> histo, actually don't answer that question
[01:01] <abstrakt> lol
[01:01] <abstrakt> i don't care why
[01:01] <IdleOne> ar0n: ok well then take a look at the link ubottu gave you yesterday and you should be able to figure it out. the instructions are fairly simple if followed carefully
[01:02] <histo> abstrakt: well kdm or gdm can be used dosn't matter they don't care which one you want to load.
[01:02] <ar0n> yeah. im just confused as to what the benefits of saving it will be
[01:02] <bloodrock> ar0n, use a livecd open gperted to ee how the partitians were setup
[01:02] <histo> ar0n: all your data and settings will be saved. If you have nothing then it doesn't mater
[01:02] <ar0n> a fresh install would be nice anyways..cause i didnt literally touch it after the first install
[01:02] <IdleOne> ar0n: well if you have a lot of media files you don't want to lose
[01:02] <ar0n> not enough i thikn, just some pictures i can get via live cd
[01:02] <abstrakt> histo, better yet, how do i actually bring up my wireless interface on cli
[01:03] <IdleOne> ar0n: if not pop in the cd and go for it :)
[01:03] <histo> ar0n: but I always create a seperate home when I install
[01:03] <abstrakt> histo, i'd rather just know that, i've done hardline ethernet plenty of times
[01:03] <histo> abstrakt: what type of wifi are you connecting to?
[01:03] <yourmghq|skype> hey histo why in the dev file does dvd not have a dvdrw file while cd also has a cdrw
[01:03] <abstrakt> histo, but never done a wireless on a laptop
[01:03] <histo> abstrakt: is it wpa2 or anything goofy?
[01:03] <etzerd> ar0n: with the version 9.04 to work I have to use VESA and the resolution no more than 1024X768 which look very ugly.
[01:03] <ar0n> its moer like ff settings, desktop settings
[01:03] <ar0n> random stuff..
[01:03] <hipitihop> sorry, I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse which pair via 'sudo hidd --search' but
[01:03] <ar0n> etzerd perhaps get the restricted rep
[01:03] <IdleOne> ar0n: that is simple enough to reset.
[01:03] <dmdevotee> anybody knows if there is any way to download djl from repos
[01:03] <histo> yourmghq|skype: I don't know mine works as /dev/sr0
[01:03] <abstrakt> histo, well, either any sort of wireless LAN like no-password/WEP/WPA etc
[01:03] <ar0n> repo*
[01:03] <etzerd> but the new version 10.04 works fine with it
[01:03] <ar0n> idle yeah
[01:04] <abstrakt> histo, i also have an AT&T wireless card that "just works" under GNOME
[01:04] <histo> abstrakt: well wpa2 gets a bit goofy with iwconfig
[01:04] <IdleOne> ar0n: so your issue now is, what are you waiting for :)
[01:04] <yourmghq|skype> yea histo it says it does not recognize
[01:04] <ar0n> im not worried i just got to get it done shes bitching, so im kinda doing my homework so i can not have to *stop* and google
[01:04] <histo> abstrakt: but basically you want to use iwconfig to set up wifi
[01:04] <phongphrai> hi everyone!
[01:04] <ar0n> idle windows =
[01:04] <etzerd> I did tried all that none of it works,
[01:04] <histo> !wireless > abstrakt
[01:04] <etzerd> how do I get the restricted rep?
[01:04] <ar0n> i had to put this on for her, but i just noticed, it looks like it ate the grubloader
[01:05] <histo> yourmghq|skype: thats wierd... I would searchj for your make/model of dvdrw on the forums and see if anyone else had an issue
[01:05] <abstrakt> histo, thx
[01:05] <dmdevotee> anybody knows if there is any way to download djl from repos?
[01:05] <histo> !info djl | dmdevotee
[01:05] <ar0n> its in settings or pref or something
[01:05] <histo> dmdevotee: what is djl?
[01:06] <deserteagle> hello all
[01:06] <yourmghq|skype> histo it is memorex
[01:06] <etzerd> ar0n: how to change the look of the boot manager? I hate it because it look like DOS, I rather have it with a graphical interface
[01:06] <histo> yourmghq|skype: not the media the actual drive itself
[01:06] <yourmghq|skype> o ok
[01:06] <ar0n> dunno sorry
[01:06] <Aryeh> etzerd... lol - GUI or bust. >_>
[01:06] <IdleOne> etzerd: you spend much time looking at the boot loader?
[01:07] <dmdevotee> histo: i type !info djl in console. bash: !info: event not found
[01:07] <Aryeh> IdleOne, thank you
[01:07] <deserteagle> i installed ubuntu on my new hdd and it finally boot... after restoring all the files from my backup drive (except the boot directory, obviously) GRUB now says: "error: out of partition" again please help!
[01:07] <eremite> etzerd: its only open for 10 seconds, lol.  Does it matter that its not graphical?  it loads much faster.
[01:07] <histo> dmdevotee: no djl is not in the repos as far as I can see. it looks like a script you download
[01:07] <dmdevotee> histo: djl is a platform similar to steam
[01:07] <yourmghq|skype> histo it is a optiarc cd-rw
[01:07] <histo> dmdevotee: and just extract and run the script
[01:07] <etzerd> I don't, I just choose which OS to load, but it just look ugly, I rather have  a GUI look instead.
[01:07] <dmdevotee> histo: there is no way to add more repos?
[01:07] <histo> yourmghq|skype: yeah try searchign for it on the ubuntuforums.org and see if anyone else is having issues with it.
[01:08] <dmdevotee> djl is on mandriva repos
[01:08] <histo> dmdevotee: yes you can add unofficial repos.
[01:08] <IdleOne> etzerd: I hate to say this but ummm seriously dude!
[01:08] <histo> dmdevotee: hold up let me check something
[01:08] <britt> what is the easiest way to create a complete mirror of a apt repository? I have a device with one pcmcia slot and a pcmcia cdrom and cant both use the cdrom and use a wireless card
[01:08] <dmdevotee> thx
[01:08] <Aryeh> etzerd, That it looks ugly is 1) an opinion and 2) pointless. It's not open long, it's faster this way, and we adults can handle it.
[01:08] <phongphrai> In Glade & C coding, how can I have a GtkTextView that acts similar to terminal (previous entered lines not editable but at prompt and after it is)
[01:08]  * Aryeh shrugs
[01:08] <Aryeh> Sorry if that's harsh bud.
[01:09] <bloodrock> deserteagle, what version of ubuntu
[01:09] <phongphrai> please someone
[01:09] <etzerd> ok, I take that back
[01:09] <deserteagle> 9.10
[01:09] <deserteagle> etzerd, there's a graphical grub package somewhere, i know because i looked into it myself
[01:09] <deserteagle> etzerd, i was even looking into customizing the look
[01:09] <deserteagle> and there's a way to do that too, i remember
[01:10] <eremite> deserteagle: How much does it slow load time?
[01:10] <etzerd> deserteagle: where?
[01:10] <deserteagle> eremite, NONE, lol
[01:10] <deserteagle> etzerd, this would be where google comes in handy =\ sorry it's been a while ago
[01:10] <eremite> deserteagle: how is that possible?  You would need to load a X session or something prior to loading anything graphical.  It MUST slow it down a lot.
[01:10] <deserteagle> if I could even BOOT, i'd be looking into it as well lol
[01:10]  * Aryeh shakes his head in disproval
[01:10] <deserteagle> eremite, negative, it doesn't work on X
[01:11] <DarkStar1> what's the terminal command to list available groups??
[01:11] <bloodrock> etzerd, try this for grub2 http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html#mozTocId16468
[01:11] <Aryeh> Soon we'll be hearing about how the shell should have colorful avatars bouncing around and stuff
[01:11] <britt> does anybody know how to at least make a apt mirror locally?
[01:11] <histo> dmdevotee: it looks like you just download the script and run it. I don't see a repo for it anywhere. http://en.djl-linux.org/?q=node/19
[01:11] <aurilliance> It's like part of the window manager as failed on my ubuntu machine - none of the windows have any title bars... anyone know how to fix this?
[01:11] <aurilliance> restart x?
[01:11] <deserteagle> eremite, keep in mind, it's graphical, but not like a desktop environment
[01:11] <dmdevotee> histo thanks
[01:11] <deserteagle> Aryeh, check this out: people like you are what hold linux back
[01:11] <DarkStar1> Is there a command for listing groups?
[01:12] <deserteagle> reason why I switched to full blown linux: OPTIONS my friend
[01:12] <[[thufir]]> I'm stuck in, I think, fvwm-crystal and cannot logout.  there are no logout buttons.
[01:12] <dmdevotee> it's a pain...now i have to run the script everytime i want to execute it :(
[01:12] <deserteagle> try and do whatever you please, because linux allows it
[01:12] <histo> dmdevotee: there are people talking about it on the forums also
[01:12] <eremite> deserteagle: you need to load a xserver equivilant in order to use graphical ANYTHING, so it must slwo boot times.  Even if you dont notice a 2 second lag or whatever, im sure it exists.
[01:12] <histo> dmdevotee: you could create a launcher
[01:12] <DarkStar1> Anyone??
[01:12] <Aryeh> deserteagle, sorry? I think I'm a pretty liberal guy with the advances we make, but I really do have to draw the line at complaints over something like a bootloader because it's "ugly"
[01:12] <bloodrock> deserteagle, what version of ubuntu did you reinstall that gives you the out of partitain error
[01:13] <tp43_> aurilliance, if you turn off one of the compiz windows things, it comes back, don't ask me which one.  btw, when is the last time you used it, once in a blue moon I move a windows, but you can use alt+left click on those rare occasions, besides that the new zooming and tab switching makes the top bar obsolete
[01:13] <greezmunkey> lo
[01:13] <deserteagle> britt, if you don't mind me asking, what brings you to that conclusion? making an apt mirror (as far as I understand) would take a looong time downloading all the packages
[01:13] <deserteagle> bloodrock, 9.10
[01:13] <phongphrai> Could someone help me please. In Glade or GTK coding, how can I have a GtkTextView that acts similar to terminal (that is previous entered lines not editable )
[01:13] <DarkStar1> just need a yes or no answer from anyone... Is there a command to list available groups??
[01:13] <eremite> Aryeh: the beauty of open source and freeware is that people are free to use it however they choose, regardless of how irrational those decisions may seem to some.
[01:14] <histo> DarkStar1: yes
[01:14] <Kre10s> DarkStar1: gooogleoogleoogle! http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150211
[01:14] <yourmghq|skype> histo: http://pastebin.com/iM5kbgyq
[01:14] <bloodrock> deserteagle,  k and what backup restore did you use
[01:14] <deserteagle> Aryeh, if there's someone out there requesting it, there's a demand. Whenever there's demand, there's the opportunity for a need to be met. Heck even Dell agrees with me (their newest BIOS are completely graphical)
[01:14] <britt> deserteagle: thats cool. its a bit involved, but basically it boils down to i need to install ubuntu on a machine that cant both install ubuntu netinstall and access a remote apt repo
[01:14] <Aryeh> eremite, Even when irrational moves into the realms of the asinine?
[01:14] <deserteagle> bloodrock, good ol' copy paste :p
[01:14] <eremite> DarkStar1: learn to use google instead of asking the same question 20 times.  http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/redhat-fedora-linux-help/41672-command-view-list-all-users-groups.html
[01:14] <bloodrock> deserteagle,  or backup program to do the restore
[01:14] <britt> deserteagle: so im going to create a deb repo on a flash drive (i only need i386) for installation
[01:15] <eremite> Aryeh: opinions are subjective.  Your opinion on the matter is irrelevant.
[01:15] <deserteagle> britt, oooh i see
[01:15] <EricInBNE> hi everything on my computer works except my logitech quickcam microphone. video works
[01:15] <EricInBNE> how do I get the mike working?
[01:15] <deserteagle> britt, it's going to be HUGE though =\
[01:15] <faron> Hello everybody.Hopefully all are well today...I am curious...my girlfriends brother [who lives in the house with us] is basically a comp geek.How easy is it to "infect" a linux system [Xubuntu} with a "keystroke logger" ? I'm not really worried about anything other than bank info
[01:15] <Aryeh> deserteagle, But how long do you look at BIOS when you're working in it? Now how long are you looking at GRUB when it pulls up? A graphical BIOS is slightly less asinine than a graphical GRUB
[01:15] <histo> !google > Kre10s
[01:15] <Aryeh> eremite, that's *your* opinion
[01:15] <DarkStar1> I just wanted a quick answer for a simple command as opposed to trawling through webpages of documents
[01:15] <hal> I need to run the command   iwconfig wlan0 power off   on boot, but regardless of whether anyone logs in.  where is best to put it?
[01:15] <deserteagle> britt, but you can put the installer ISO on a jump drive! :D
[01:16] <shazbotmcnasty> buntu buntu
[01:16] <eremite> faron: Its easy to install keyloggers.
[01:16] <histo> yourmghq|skype: you've eliminated it being a media issue right?
[01:16] <faron> that's what I thought
[01:16] <bloodrock> deserteagle, did you try editing commands at bootloader
[01:16] <britt> deserteagle: cant boot from USB, only from a PCMCIA cdrom
[01:16] <deserteagle> Aryeh, again, opinions are subjective: Bill Gates once though 256kb of RAM was MORE than enough for ANYONE
[01:16] <britt> deserteagle: 640k
[01:16] <deserteagle> britt, hmmm...
[01:16] <deserteagle> britt, that, thanks :D
[01:16] <eremite> Aryeh: it is hardly my opinion that opinions are subjective.  Read a dictionary and study *logic*.
[01:17] <deserteagle> bloodrock, nope. Should I?
[01:17] <faron> I'm not really even worried about that.It's just that my girl made me [slightly] nervous ha ha
[01:17] <britt> deserteagle: intresting situation isnt it haha
[01:17] <Aryeh> eremite, I was refering to your *opinion* that my opinion on the matter was irrelevant. If you can't keep up, best not to join in. ;)
[01:17] <iflema> faron is this a shared system or your personal system?
[01:17] <Aryeh> deserteagle, Lol, yeah - well... that's Gates...
[01:18] <faron> this is personal
[01:18] <britt> deserteagle: back when i started in computers, i too thought 640k was alot. and it was for dos 3.3
[01:18] <eremite> Aryeh: how is yoru opinion of someone else's use of a computer relevant to their use of a computer?  Get lost, troll.
[01:18] <deserteagle> aaaaand this conversation is now off topic
[01:18] <Dougwiser> 640K IS ALL WE WILL EVER NEED
[01:18] <Guest40222> hi, when I click on the fullscreen button in deutsche welle site it is not using full screen, but for for some weeks it was, what is my problem?
[01:18] <faron> but him being a geek I'm sure he knows wasys around things
[01:18] <Dougwiser> woops caps
[01:18] <Aryeh> britt, I remember when you could back up your whole computer on a floppy. >_>
[01:18] <bloodrock> deserteagle, yeah try see if can find correct partitain ubuntu was loaded to  and did you had it loaded to the mbr or the partitain
[01:18] <faron> again...not that I'm really worried about anything
[01:19] <deserteagle> britt, so the CD installer won't work for ya?
[01:19] <Aryeh> eremite, Wow... straight to the troll card.   Ever.
[01:19] <faron> heh heh heh I hear ya
[01:19]  * eremite /ignores Aryeh
[01:19] <iflema> disable cd booting in bios and add a bios boot password to limit access
[01:19] <[[thufir]]> how do enable ctrl-alt-backspace to kill xterm?
[01:20] <hal> I need to run the command   iwconfig wlan0 power off   on boot, but regardless of whether anyone logs in.  where is best to put it, please?
[01:20] <britt> deserteagle: so the deal is this - i made a ubuntu alternate install image for this computer. I can only boot from the PCMCIA cdrom, but i cant use my pcmcia wireless card to complete the install ;)
[01:20] <deserteagle> bloodrock, but what I don't understand is: if it was booting before and all I did was copy paste files that didn't even touch the boot partition, why won't it load now? this is soooo frustrating
[01:20] <faron> hey eremite...thanks for the info anyway my friend
[01:20] <greezmunkey> hal, you just don't want to use that device, ever?
[01:21] <hal> greezmunkey: no, it's not that - it just disables power management
[01:21] <deserteagle> britt, then... hmm... well, if you already installed it, just download each package, copy to a jump drive and install on the other PC, no?
[01:21] <bloodrock> deserteagle, well what folders did you copy paste
[01:21] <histo> britt: you shouldn't need wireless to complete the install
[01:21] <hal> and power management causes the if to stop working
[01:21]  * gaveen could tell hal if he opens the pod bay door an let him in
[01:21] <billy>  i know this probably isnt the plave to ask but how do i make a html page come up straight away on x10 hosting?my page is http://mafiakingdom.x10hosting.com/ youll see what i mean
[01:22] <hal> even pinging something from the host doesn't wake it up
[01:22] <deserteagle> bloodrock, all except /boot (which was empty either way since it's a different partition) /tmp /mnt /dev /proc and /media
[01:22] <phongphrai> Could someone help me please. In Glade or GTK coding, how can I have a GtkTextView that acts similar to terminal (that is previous entered lines not editable )
[01:22]  * hal acts as gaveen 's high-tech doorman
[01:22] <fabio333> phongphra: programming stuff
[01:22] <histo> billy: you need to have a index.html
[01:22] <fabio333> get the gtk reference...
[01:22] <Losha> [[thufir]]: ctrl-alt-backspace kills your entire X server, not just an xterm. A mentat should know that...
[01:23] <histo> billy: rename test.html to index.html or edit he apache conf and change the default page.
[01:23] <bloodrock> deserteagle, k why did you copy paste those folder that is what prob messed your system up
[01:23] <billy> how do i do that ive got one but it comes up as a directory?
[01:23] <billy> alright cheers m8
[01:23] <eremite> Losha: nope.  ctrl alt bksp has been changed to something like super k prntscrn
[01:24] <deserteagle> bloodrock, ummm: 1) because I needed my previous setup and files 2) why would it mess it up if I didn't even touch the boot folder
[01:24] <histo> billy: just mv test.html index.html
[01:24] <timmy54321> hi if i upgrade my ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu studio 9.10 will it erase everything and change my customisable settings back to default
[01:24] <Losha> eremite: That depends on which release you're running, strictly speaking...
[01:24] <eremite> Losha: the two most recent do not have it.
[01:24] <gaveen> hal, you could place the command in /etc/profile
[01:25] <Losha> eremite: I'm still running 8.04 LTS. I'm sure I'm not alone...
[01:25] <eremite> Losha: compiz users can still set it back to the original, though.
 still there
[01:25] <hal> gaveen: that doesn't only run when someone logs in?
[01:25] <smerz> timmy54321, no most settings will remain. It is a BETA though so unless you want to upgrade for something specific i'd recommend against it
[01:25] <eremite> Losha: any particular reason for running an old OS?
[01:25] <billy> thanks for that m8 its working now : )
[01:25] <[[thufir]]> how do I enable "zap" ctrl-alt-backspace?
[01:25] <histo> billy: np
[01:25] <bloodrock> deserteagle, because 9.10 and 9.04 are a bit diff and what worked with 9.04 would not work with 9.10
[01:25] <sam555> hello all!
[01:25] <eremite> !hi | sam555
[01:25] <deserteagle> bloodrock, o.O 9.04?
[01:25] <Losha> eremite: the main reason: stability...
[01:25] <timmy54321> ubuntu studio 9.10 is beta??
[01:26] <ZykoticK9> !dontzap > [[thufir]]
[01:26] <deserteagle> bloodrock, both the install cd and the backup were at 9.10
[01:26] <sam555> I installed ubuntu 9.10 for a friend that has never used linux before.  They continually are having problems and I'm wonder if I should just put windows 2000 on their computer :(
[01:26] <Losha> ZykoticK9: thank you...
[01:26] <deserteagle> yes
[01:26] <sam555> It's kinda a waste of my time if they can't use it on their own :(
[01:26] <randomusr> offtopic for a moment, does anyone here have qwest or other dsl?
[01:26] <eremite> sam555: LOL!  Nope.
 it took me several hours to figure out the dontzap trick
[01:26] <ZykoticK9> Losha, your welcome :)
[01:26] <dmdevotee> hey, how can i create a launcher that executes a sh file?
[01:26] <sam555> first she can't use her ipod to drag and drop songs using rhythm box
[01:26] <DarkStar1> ANy knowledgeable samba users here?? (Yes I've joined #samba but no one is alive there)
[01:26] <eremite> sam555: what problems are they having?  Linux copmputers can do almost everything Windows can, for free.
[01:26] <sam555> now she can't play movies with vlc or the movie player that is included
[01:26] <phongphrai> fabio333, synopsis of functions should tell me that?
[01:27] <kpomeroy> I am trying to install a .deb but it says a software management tool is running but i don't have synaptic, the update manager or the terminal open. What else could be causing the problem?
[01:27] <smerz> timmy54321, oh my apologies. 9.10 is stable so go ahead :) sorry
[01:27] <bloodrock> deserteagle,  oh yeah you used a new hdd forgot so the folders you copy pasted were for the old hdd so the uuid is different from the new hdd
[01:27] <eremite> sam555: has she installed the "restriced extras" packages?
[01:27] <Losha> sam555: there are worse solutions than going back to windows...
[01:27] <randomusr> sam555, are the proper codecs installed?
[01:27] <dmdevotee> i tried to make a launcher with the command sh /home/dmdevotee/djl.sh (the file exists and it haves all permissions)
 you want a part of the text to be editale, right?
[01:27] <dmdevotee> but nothing happens when i click at the launcher
[01:27] <WhiteDawn> sam555: dont switch people, it will make your head hurt. Ignorance is bliss, but linux is more fun ;)
[01:27] <deserteagle> bloodrock, umm... but wouldn't that be in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file? (which I didn't touch for that same reason)
[01:28] <bloodrock> desert the folders were set to read the uuid of old hdd
[01:28] <sam555> WhiteDawn: ?
[01:28] <eremite> Losha: its hardly recommended that people downgrade to Windows 2000 from Ubuntu, especially since they simply cannot play a video due to not having the codecs installed.
 "ignorance is bliss" is an alan's parsong song
[01:28] <deserteagle> bloodrock, which folders?
[01:28] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, use gnome-terminal -x /pathto/file.sh
[01:28] <sam555> eremite: let me check about the restricted packages, but what will that do?
[01:28] <timmy54321> sooo im confused upgrading from the standard ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu studio 9.10 would be ok and settings will remain
 anyway the GtkTextView show the text in the TextBuffer, there you can use a Tab and set it as editable or not editable
[01:28] <bloodrock> deserteagle,  yes but will also ber in the /dev folder
[01:28] <phongphrai> fabio333, yes one part is and the other isnt , both in the same textview
[01:28] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, make sure the script is executable
[01:28] <deserteagle> bloodrock, again, I didn't touch the /dev folder
[01:29] <eremite> sam555: you need the restricted extras package to play mp3s etc.  Open the software center and search for it.
[01:29] <Losha> eremite: I agree, it probably shouldn't be the first resort, but for some people, it's a good solution...
[01:29] <sam555> Randomur: who would I tell re: codecs?
[01:29] <eremite> Losha: Windows 200 for ANYTHING other than shooting practice is not recommended., not even by Micr$oft junkies.
[01:29] <watatem> what is the := operator in export command in a script?
[01:29] <dmdevotee> Forkbomb, thanks, where i have to type " gnome-terminal -x /pathto/file.s"?
[01:30] <randomusr> samm555, follow eremite's instructions regarding restricted extra's
[01:30] <eremite> sam555: just install the restricted extras package, all problems solved hopefully.
[01:30] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, right click the desktop -> create launcher
[01:30] <WhiteDawn> eremite: windows 2000 makes a great abuse operating system for testing viruses in virtual box
[01:30] <bloodrock> deserteagle,  i take it you put /boot on a seperate partitian
[01:30] <eremite> WhiteDawn: ie; SHooting practice.
[01:30] <Gelfling> i still have a computer running windows 2k
[01:30] <Losha> timmy54321: in theory yes, you can convert to ubuntu studio by adding the right packages. In practice, it's a lot of work, and probably not a well tested upgrade because so few people do it....
[01:30] <deserteagle> bloodrock, yes, both times (my old and new setup)
[01:30] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, put the gnome-terminal command in the command box
[01:30] <Gelfling> and one running Windows ME
[01:30] <eremite> Gelfling: im sorry.
[01:31] <eremite> really.
[01:31] <randomusr> there is only two things I have trouble with on linux today. Playing BluRay, and outputting to HDMI
[01:31] <Gelfling> the hard drive is failing in the ME one
[01:31] <Gelfling> so i can't do anything with it
[01:31] <gaveen> hal, sorry for the delay, need to crash soon. If your system uses a /etc/rc.sysinit you can place the command there
[01:31] <randomusr> everything else just works
[01:31] <bloodrock> desert k boot was only folder you didn't copy
[01:31] <deserteagle> yah
[01:32] <gregory57> Hi all. I am having problems with memory I guess. When I boot into Ubuntu and open Firefox I immediatly go into swap.
[01:32] <deserteagle> lol, it does that
[01:32] <gregory57> Is this normal? 512 megs of ram.
 drop the plugins
[01:32] <deserteagle> ummm... maybe not THAT much
[01:32] <Losha> watatem: I think it's bash syntax, do man bash and then type /:= to find some info on it...
[01:32] <britt> histo: so the alternative install does not need to download packages from apt? im pretty sure it has to connect to download the apt packages to complete the install....
[01:32] <fabio333> and get rid of the .firefox folder
[01:32] <sam555> eremite: are the restricted packages located under the synaptic package manager?
[01:32] <bloodrock> deserteagle, i checked backward and you said you copied /dev /mnt /media /proc and a couple others
[01:33] <deserteagle> gregory57, yeah, that: try it in safe mode
[01:33] <decomp505> Hi all - anyone know why I can't get nicotine+ to connect
[01:33] <watatem> Losha, thanks a lot =)
[01:33] <hal> gaveen: that's ok   thanks for the answer.  That file does not exist, but rc.local does
[01:33] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, did you get that? :)
[01:33] <deserteagle> bloodrock, actually, it said i copied all -except- those
[01:33] <eremite> sam555: yes, but it may be easier for her to search in APPLICATIONS > UBUNTU SOFTWARE CENTER
[01:33] <hipitihop> I have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse which pair via 'sudo hidd --search' but constantly timeout and need to run hidd --search again, very frustrating, any suggestions ?
[01:33] <gregory57> fabio....which? All I have is adblocker.
[01:33] <deserteagle> bloodrock, all except /boot (which was empty either way since it's a different partition) /tmp /mnt /dev /proc and /media
[01:33] <greezmunkey> hal: Did you get an answer yet?
[01:33] <dmdevotee> ForkBomb, putted gnome-terminal -x /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh into the command box, saved, then clicked the launcher, nothing occurs
[01:34] <gregory57> deserteagle, good idea.
[01:34] <dmdevotee> only opens a terminal , and it closes in a half second
[01:34] <SpudDogg> whassup all
[01:34] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, are you printing stuff to a terminal window? or just executing a command?
[01:34] <bloodrock> deserteagle,  oh ok sorry well you musta copied something that had uuid of old in it to the new is what i think happened
[01:34] <eremite> dmdevotee: is the .sh file enabled to execute as a program?
[01:34] <Losha> dmdevotee: does /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh run by hand from the terminal?
[01:35] <F0rkBomb> Losha, he needs to read -p it to stop it closing :)
[01:35] <hal> greezmunkey: kind of,   do you think it should be in rc.local or /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf ?
[01:35] <dmdevotee> thir question, yes
[01:35] <Losha> bloodrock: if it helps, only grub and /etc/fstab use uuids normally...
[01:35] <dmdevotee> second question yes, it haves all permissions
[01:35] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, at the end of your shell script, add "read -p "Press any key to continue..."
[01:35] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, without the quotes
[01:35] <gregory57> deserteagle, I've also noticed in top that java is running all the time. Is this normal?
[01:35] <greezmunkey> hal: Are you dealing with a laptop?
[01:36] <deserteagle> gregory57, not to my knowledge
[01:36] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, so like this: read -p "Press any key to continue..."
[01:36]  * SpudDogg is trying to figure out something clever to type into his terminal...
[01:36] <hal> greezmunkey: no
[01:36] <deserteagle> gregory57, but I could be mistaken
[01:36] <Losha> dmdevotee: if F0rkBomb's suggestion doesn't work, I'd try /bin/sh -c /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh as the launch command next..
[01:36] <[[thufir]]> how do disable don't zap, not in gnome.  cannot find ~.xinitrc
[01:36] <gregory57> huh......
[01:36] <bloodrock> Losha, if so then he copied his old etc folder over his new one
[01:36] <F0rkBomb> Losha, it works cause thats what i use
[01:36] <Losha> bloodrock: I've done worse...
[01:36] <deserteagle> [[thufir]], it's now an issue with gconf-editor iirc
[01:36] <F0rkBomb> Losha,  the problem is his script is executing and the terminal closes without prompting
[01:37] <histo> britt: correct you don't need to download anything just configure network later
[01:37] <Losha> F0rkBomb: what does his script do, anyway?
[01:37] <histo> britt: the alternate intall should have all the necessary packages on the cjd.
[01:37] <Losha> !dontzap
[01:37] <F0rkBomb> Losha, *shrug* he just wants to open a script from a launcher
[01:37] <bloodrock> deserteagle, here an idea get to your grub folder get the uuid form the grub.cfg file
[01:37] <sam555> eremite: thanks for the help, but I'm going with win2k.  I don't want to have to continually support her and it's just easier.  I myself have ubuntu and it's fine for me to find help, but for others....they're on their own.
[01:37] <brutus> http://myutc.org/index.htm
[01:38] <[[thufir]]> that link from ubotto gives bad info, that's what I'm saying,  it says to edit .xinitrc
[01:38] <Losha> F0rkBomb: depending on what it does, he might not even want/need an xterm. I thought  he was just trying to get the script to run when he clicks on it...
[01:38] <bloodrock> deserteagle,  ah no drop it that won't work since you overwrote the etc folder
[01:38] <jerry_t> Hello  , trouble with  9.10   It  goes to  B&WS  and  frezze  ., any one else  have  this   ?
[01:38] <deserteagle> eh?
[01:38] <Losha> [[thufir]]: the layout options thing didn't work?
[01:38] <myrl> do you know how to control a windows vista computer from ubuntu?
[01:38] <deserteagle> bloodrock, /etc? what about it?
[01:39] <deserteagle> myrl, VNC
[01:39] <eremite> sam555: it takes about 30 seconds to install that package and then everything should work fine.  There should be NO reasons somone cant figure out how to use Ubuntu if they use Windows, especially when they have no skills in computers (which means no need for the fine art of terminal-fu).  Your solution will only cause problems, Win2k is a trap for viruses.  Dont forget she will need to installa  bunch of codecs in Windows too.
[01:39] <myrl> itried it
[01:39] <dmdevotee> both solutions didn't work
[01:39] <Losha> myrl: you can install a vnc server on windows and then use a vnc client on Ubuntu...
[01:39] <myrl> ok
[01:39] <myrl> thanks
[01:39] <Losha> dmdevotee: what does your script do?
[01:39] <deserteagle> myrl, IIRC, there's also a tool to connect to Window's own "Remote Desktop" protocol from ubuntu
[01:40] <myrl> what if I don't have access to the vista computer?
[01:40] <dmdevotee> this is the script: http://pastebin.com/hmifCxMv
[01:40] <bloodrock> deserteagle,  you copied your old etc folder over your new one
[01:40] <deserteagle> myrl, -.- then you're in the wrong channel
[01:40] <myrl> ok
[01:40] <nikin> I encountered a strange thing today... that my old mobilevideo converting script fails to run on Karmic becouse of the removal of libfaac support from libavcodec. Is there a reson why the ubuntu developers have thrown out the support?
[01:40] <Losha> deserteagle: there *is* an rdesktop command. Dunno if it works for vista...
[01:40] <deserteagle> bloodrock, yes, how would that screw it up?
[01:40] <deserteagle> myrl, i would suggest something like neworder.box.sk for those questions :p
[01:41] <myrl> if im on the wrong channel, then which is the right one?
[01:41] <greezmunkey> hal: This looks pretty simple, I haven't tried it though: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/3348-ubuntu-executing-a-script-at-startup-and-shutdown
[01:41] <ZykoticK9> nikin, it wasn't ubuntu - they are trying to sort the issue out with upstream ffmpeg - who removed AAC audio due to licence issues
[01:41] <dmdevotee> in fact, it's not my script, it's a downloaded script to run DJL
[01:41] <Losha> nikin: I wonder if it's another of those licensing things. Check out www.medibuntu.org
[01:41] <deserteagle> myrl, goto www.neworder.box.sk and look for their IRC channel
[01:41] <F0rkBomb> I think dmdevotee is sleeping, Losha :P
[01:42] <ZykoticK9> nikin, see bug for details https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/faac/+bug/374900
[01:42] <dmdevotee> hahahaha
[01:42] <F0rkBomb> oh there you are! :D
[01:42] <myrl> ok
[01:42] <nikin> ZykoticK9: i see, then i have to come up with an other way to encode videos for my mobile :S First AMR and now this... unbelieveable.
[01:42] <hal> greezmunkey: yeah,  I suppose I could do it like that, but there is no need for a Kill script, so I feel there is a more simple solution
[01:42] <ZykoticK9> nikin, check out handbrake
[01:42] <hal> greezmunkey: I think rc.local is the easiest way
[01:43] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, your script compiles a python file or something?
[01:43] <bloodrock> deserteagle,  wouldn't fstab which is how drive is mounted be pointing to old drive
[01:43] <myrl> so many spammers here....
[01:43] <dmdevotee> yes i think so
[01:43] <F0rkBomb> myrl, so many questions that need answering :)
[01:43] <myrl> lol
[01:43] <Losha> dmdevotee: looks like your script requires *arguments* to be passed in e.g. a directory?
[01:43] <greezmunkey> hal: The "script at shutdown" part is optional I think!
[01:43] <deserteagle> bloodrock, hmm... you got a point, I completely forgot about the /etc/fstab file
[01:43] <Iceman_B|SSH> yo o/
[01:43] <myrl> im new to ubuntu
[01:43] <nikin> ZykoticK9: i have mmc wich converts fine... just it is not command line, and if i am not wrong it uses the license probematic ffmpeg.
[01:43] <deserteagle> \O what up
[01:43] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, are you dragging a folder to the launcher by any chance?
[01:44] <Losha> myrl: are there? We don't allow spammers. It's just a really busy channel...
[01:44] <ZykoticK9> nikin, handbrake has a cli version as well as gui
[01:44] <hal> yeah, you are right, but still I think there is a more "appropriate" way
[01:44] <Iceman_B|SSH> being pissed on my house mates
[01:44] <Iceman_B|SSH> thats whats up :)
[01:44] <deserteagle> myrl, ok: are you or are you not trying to hack into a vista?
[01:44] <myrl> ok
[01:44] <dmdevotee> but when i do "sudo sh jdl.sh " in terminal, it works fine, it executes the program (but i have to type root pass)
[01:44] <SpudDogg> wow, something is f00ked on my system :S
[01:44] <nikin> ZykoticK9: ohh didnt know that... and what does it use for encoding?
[01:44] <myrl> almost
[01:44] <myrl> my bro is on vista
[01:44] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, if so you need to pass %F to the terminal and handle arguments
[01:44] <deserteagle> myrl, if you are: what I said previously still applies
[01:44] <root___> Hey all, im on Lucid and i need to install an older version kerenl 2.6.31-20 to be exact is there anyway i can do it through apt-get or would i have to wget the debs and dpkg them?
[01:44] <ZykoticK9> nikin, it's own encoder
[01:44] <Iceman_B|SSH> how can I use the command line to investigate what hosts on my network are using bandwith, and how much of it ?
[01:44] <Losha> Iceman_B|SSH: please keep your domestic sex life details to yourself...
[01:44] <myrl> i want to hack my brother's computer
[01:44] <myrl> ok
[01:44] <greezmunkey> hal: Well, I found a myriad of techniques on google, pick your poison :)
[01:44] <Iceman_B|SSH> Losha: I am
[01:44] <myrl> is that bad?
[01:45] <Iceman_B|SSH> my house mates aren't
[01:45] <nikin> ZykoticK9: does that help with license issues?
[01:45] <root___> myrl: use a hatchet or ax
[01:45] <Iceman_B|SSH> >_<
[01:45] <F0rkBomb> myrl, install a VNC server on it, open a network port, connect via Rdesktop, have fun
[01:45] <myrl> ok
[01:45] <deserteagle> myrl, ummm, yes. No support for you!
[01:45] <myrl> :)
[01:45] <WhiteDawn> myrl: no its not, its very fun, also record a youtube video
[01:45] <ZykoticK9> nikin, it doesn't have the license issues - only ffmpeg has that
[01:45] <deserteagle> FINE F0rkBomb enable the hacker -.-
[01:45] <myrl> ok
[01:45] <F0rkBomb> deserteagle, its his brothers PC
[01:45] <myrl> lol
[01:45] <eremite> !op | myrl
[01:45] <deserteagle> and? he's still hacking! that's a no no
[01:46] <nikin> ZykoticK9: i see... it is not in the repos :S
[01:46] <F0rkBomb> deserteagle, hardly Whitehall ;)
[01:46] <Losha> myrl: keep it up, you're this close ---> ' '
[01:46] <myrl> um what are we talking about?
[01:46] <illusive> Hacking isn't really a no-no. Just as long as he learns from it and puts it to good use.
[01:46] <dmdevotee> forkbomb: dunno, i never had to pass arguments to this script
[01:46] <Myrtti> !offtopic
[01:46] <root___> wget it is
[01:46] <Myrtti> Move on
[01:46] <ZykoticK9> nikin, deb available on site http://handbrake.fr/
[01:46] <Iceman_B|SSH> if he wants to hack, let him hack. from the looks of it he won't get very far....
[01:46] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, right, ok lets start from fresh. you want a launcher to run your script?
[01:46] <myrl> lol
[01:46] <dmdevotee> yep
[01:46] <Iceman_B|SSH> but maybe im just pred
[01:46] <hal> greezmunkey: hehe, yeah, I do appreciate it - thank you! :)  I went for /etc/rc.local  (/etc/init.d/rc.local explains what it's for)
[01:47] <Iceman_B|SSH> prej
[01:47] <Iceman_B|SSH> whatst hat word
[01:47] <deserteagle> Iceman_B|SSH, wow, nice :p
[01:47] <SpudDogg> Does anyone know why I might be getting this when I try to 'update-manager -d'?  http://pastebin.com/2S42xj4B
[01:47] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, you dont pass args to it, yu just want it to run?
[01:47] <dmdevotee> yep
[01:47] <eremite> Iceman_B|SSH:  he can heack all he wants, but if he wants to learn how to hack he cannot do it here.
[01:47] <deserteagle> Iceman_B|SSH, prejudging?
[01:47] <myrl> please test my website too http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[01:47] <Iceman_B|SSH> deserteagle: thats the one
[01:47] <deserteagle> what eremite said
[01:47] <Trek> !ot | myrl
[01:47] <dmdevotee> like i would do manually
[01:47] <greezmunkey> hal: cool!
[01:47] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, re-paste your script and link me
[01:47] <Losha> Iceman_B|SSH: he can hack all he wants, discussion of it is off-topic here...
[01:47] <Iceman_B|SSH> eremite: ah, that I agree with
[01:47] <myrl> ok
[01:47] <SwimmingRat> ubottu - I totally understand and support that discussion moving on.
[01:47] <dmdevotee> http://pastebin.com/hmifCxMv
[01:47] <nikin> ZykoticK9: oh from the website i see that i did use this on windows :D :D
[01:48] <Iceman_B|SSH> so, in the spirit of staying on topic
[01:48] <Losha> dmdevotee: I repeat: it looks like your script requires *arguments* to be passed in e.g. a directory?
[01:48] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, on a separate line... add read -p "Press any key to continue..."
[01:48] <Iceman_B|SSH> how can I see the bw usage of a host on my network ?
[01:48] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, that will halt the terminal and wait for input to close
[01:49] <dmdevotee> too strange
[01:49] <kpomeroy> I am trying to install a .deb but it says a software management tool is running but i don't have synaptic, the update manager or the terminal open. Are there any other tools that could be causing the problem?
[01:49] <dmdevotee> look at this:
[01:49] <deserteagle> how do I get the UUID of a hard drive without hal-device?
[01:49] <Losha> Iceman_B|SSH: I found this on google: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html
[01:49] <dmdevotee> if i type in console
[01:49] <dmdevotee> sudo sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh
[01:49] <dmdevotee> simply, it works!
[01:49] <deserteagle> kpomeroy, are you running apt-get somewhere in a console?
[01:49] <dmdevotee> :D
[01:49] <FloodBot2> dmdevotee: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:50] <dmdevotee> but i want a launcher for that
[01:50] <kpomeroy> I don't have a console open
[01:50] <deserteagle> dmdevotee, what panel program you using?
[01:50] <deserteagle> kpomeroy, type this into a console: sudo killall -9 apt-get
[01:50] <Iceman_B|SSH> Losha: thanks, Ill check that out
[01:50] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, check your pastebin, i amended your script
[01:50] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, http://pastebin.com/ztj5MEHK
[01:50] <Iceman_B|SSH> the irony of course is that my house mates are using all the upstream capacity
[01:50] <Iceman_B|SSH> ah, it finally loaded
[01:51] <Losha> deserteagle: I thought only partitions have uuids. Try the vol_id command, or the blkid command...

[01:51] <voyager640> I have a computer with ubuntu moblin remix 9.10 installed.  I'm trying to figure out how to get a standard GNOME desktop without having to wipe moblin off it and starting over.  any thoughts?
[01:51] <greezmunkey> yikes, sorry!
[01:51] <deserteagle> Losha omg I LOVE YOU O_O
[01:51] <dmdevotee> forkbomb, ok, i changed the script, and nao?
[01:51] <kpomeroy> "apt-get: no process found" That's what it brought back
[01:51]  * Losha blushes...
[01:52] <F0rkBomb> everyone loves Losha
[01:52] <voyager640> I love Losha already and I've never been here before ;p
[01:52]  * Losha blushes even more...
[01:52] <deserteagle> kpomeroy, type this into a console: sudo killall -9 synaptic
[01:52] <F0rkBomb> I've been here before, under many guises
[01:52] <voyager640> Now if I could just get a standard GNOME desktop on this damn machine :-(
[01:52] <dmdevotee> deserteagle: panel program? do you mean system-preferences-main menu?
[01:53] <deserteagle> dmdevotee, gnome-panel
[01:53] <kpomeroy> "synaptic: no process found" is what it says
[01:53] <dmdevotee> dunno whay do you mean, but all by default installation lol
[01:53] <dmdevotee> sorry
[01:53] <deserteagle> kpomeroy, :| sheesh lol
[01:53] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, just check out your pastebin
[01:53] <booksbuggy> my firefox won't let me remove the incompatible extensions
[01:54] <kpomeroy> I'm running the 10.04 beta, could that be factor? some kind of bug?
[01:54] <Losha> voyager640: I don't know anything about moblin, so I'm hesitant to suggest the usual thing, which is to do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop. Dunno what that'll do on moblin...
[01:54] <tiki> Hey, is it wise to upgrade my machine to lucid beta?
[01:54] <F0rkBomb> tiki, are you adventurous?
[01:55] <dmdevotee> forkbomb: you changed anything ?
[01:55] <voyager640> Losha- someone said it killed their system completely.  So I'm a little nervous.  I tried apt-get install gnome and it said it depends ont hings that are "not going to be installed"
[01:55] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, http://pastebin.com/ztj5MEHK
[01:55] <tiki> F0rkBomb: I am, only if it means less problems with skype and pulseaudio
[01:55] <Losha> tiki: it isn't stable yet, if that's what you mean....
[01:55] <tiki> Losha: I guess I'll wait then
[01:55] <F0rkBomb> tiki, expect more problems, at any moment...but I like taking risks lol
[01:56] <booksbuggy> is there any other way of  uninstalling a firefox extension  without using the add on list?
[01:56] <Losha> voyager640: dunno, like I said, I never heard of moblin. If I were you, I'd do a full backup before experimenting...
[01:56] <FeasibilityStudy> I am getting this error when trying to run a daily update
[01:56] <FeasibilityStudy> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[01:56] <tiki> F0rkBomb: I won't upgrade, but do you know how to fix pulse?
[01:56] <FeasibilityStudy> anyone know WTF is up with this?  I cant update my system anymore
[01:56] <dmdevotee> ok, changed....and.... nothing happens when i double click on launcher
[01:56] <Losha> tiki: it's ok for a play machine, not for your main workhorse...
[01:56] <voyager640> Losha- how would i backup a system that doesn't have a cdrom drive or a disk drive?
[01:56] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy run sudo dpkg --configure -a in terminal
[01:56] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, whats in the command box of your launchers properties?
[01:56] <tiki> Losha: its my main.
[01:57] <FeasibilityStudy> booksbuggy: I did and it still does the same thing
[01:57] <tiki> Losha: I only have one T_T
[01:57] <booksbuggy> hmmm then go to synaptics and look for broken packages
[01:57] <tiki> F0rkBomb: or force skype to use alsa?
[01:57] <dmdevotee> i tried both launchers:
[01:57] <dmdevotee> /bin/sh -c /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh
[01:57] <Losha> voyager640: well, you need *somewhere* to put the data?
[01:57] <dmdevotee> gnome-terminal -x /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh
[01:57] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, go look for broken packages in synaptics
[01:57] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, well the 2nd one should work, its what i use for my md5checker
[01:57] <FeasibilityStudy> booksbuggy: I dont use synaptics.
[01:57] <tiki> Is there any way to force Skype to use alsa instead of pulse? Pulse sucks.
[01:57] <dmdevotee> this is written into "command" box of launchr
[01:58] <Losha> tiki: then wait. After a couple of months, the worst problems will be worked out (hopefully)...
[01:58] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, most likely something happened before and broke a package
[01:58] <tiki> Losha: isn't it end of april?
[01:58] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, go into properties of the script and see if "Allow executing file as program" is checked
[01:58] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, i am saying use the synaptic package manager to check for broken packages
[01:58] <dmdevotee> forkbomb: but , with the script that works with you, it need root passwrod?
[01:58] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, no
[01:59] <Losha> tiki: that's the *release* date, doesn't guarantee it's ready. In fact, it pretty much guarantees it won't be. Ever see Lucy & Ethel in the chocolate factory episode?
[01:59] <dmdevotee> forkbomb: yes, is checked
[01:59] <tiki> Losha: huh?
[01:59] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, then i really cannot see what the problem is
[01:59] <dmdevotee> so, the problem could be there?
[02:00] <booksbuggy> anyone have any idea of how to remove a firefox add on with terminal?
[02:00] <dmdevotee> maybe it works for you because your script, (or similar) doesn't ask for root pass, but mine does
[02:00] <dmdevotee> ???
[02:00] <Losha> tiki: never mind, the release date is fixed and can't be moved, it doesn't mean the code is ready...
[02:01] <tiki> Losha: got it. I'll try my luck when its released anyways.
[02:01] <tiki> Losha: Its an LTS, so chances are that its going to work well enough
[02:01] <F0rkBomb> ok
[02:02] <Losha> tiki: You can always check in #ubuntu+1 to see what people are saying about it....
[02:02] <eremite> Losha: The LTS should be fine, Karmic is great.
[02:02] <Losha> eremite: I ran karmic for a while, but grub2 and gdm2 got on my nerves, not to mention sound issues...
[02:03] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, http://pastebin.com/fj0bvheb try that
[02:03] <eremite> Losha: no problems on my end other than sound issues, too>  However, I got those sorted out with ease.
[02:03] <booksbuggy> karmic is not that bad if it wasn't that out of the two speaks i have only one is playing -.-
[02:03] <eremite> Losha: I fail to see why grub would make you switch back.
[02:03] <alphonso> can anyone help with a ktorrent error i'm getting?
[02:04] <eremite> booksbuggy: sounds like you have your speakres panned.
[02:04] <dmdevotee> nothing at all :_(
[02:04] <booksbuggy> panned o.O?
[02:04] <booksbuggy> eremite, what is panned o.O?
[02:04] <FeasibilityStudy> booksbuggy: and I am saying I dont use synaptic..I use aptitude
[02:05] <Losha> eremite: I was multibooting, karmic, 8.04, debian, XP. I got fed up trying to configure grub2...
[02:05] <alphonso> what happened to everyone?
[02:05] <WhiteDawn> woah what just happend?
[02:05] <WhiteDawn> idle purge?
[02:05] <eremite> booksbuggy: yes, panned to the left or to teh right.  Its the term used to describe sound coming from either the left or right speakers.
[02:05] <alphonso> when I try to open the help file in ktorrent I get this error message: The file or folder help:/ktorrent/index.html does not exist.
[02:05] <alphonso> anyone know how to repair this?
[02:05] <Losha> alphonso: are you running kde?
[02:05] <alphonso> yes
[02:06] <booksbuggy> eremite, eh actually the balance is set to the middle unless the sound interface is lying again -.-
[02:06] <eremite> Losha: what configuring would you need to do to grub? Other than changing boot order, I cannot see a reson to play with grub settings.
[02:06] <WhiteDawn> alphonso: you could try "man ktorrent"
[02:06] <alphonso> okay, from terminal?
[02:06] <F0rkBomb> sorry about the mass D/C everyone, my DeLorean was struck by lightning
[02:06] <WhiteDawn> alphonso: yeah from terminal
[02:06] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, are you sure you "actually Read" what i said?
[02:06] <Losha> eremite: the shell scripts never got the config correct. I got fed up hand editing grub.cfg files...
[02:06] <alphonso> thanks, WhiteDawn - that worked
[02:06] <econtomawesome> howdy! I'm using ubuntu 9.10 x64, and I'm curious of the process to make a bootable usb with a ubuntu image without using unetbootin
[02:07] <Presario2500> hey ppl
[02:07] <eremite> booksbuggy: sounds like a specific problem, not common to anyone else.  Probably a hardware problem on yoru behlaf, not a software error from Ubuntu.
[02:07] <FeasibilityStudy> booksbuggy: I am not on Ubuntu, I use Kubuntu and I am not installing Synaptic..Sorry.
[02:07] <Presario2500> what is a really lightweight web browser that I can use with Xubuntu, Firefox is a bit heavy for my system.
[02:07] <eremite> FeasibilityStudy: Karmic is ubuntu and already has Synaptic installed.  You make no sense.
[02:07] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, hmmm other than apt does kubuntu have a secondary package manager?
[02:07] <booksbuggy> eremite, works fine in windows -.-
[02:07] <eremite> Presario2500: Google Chrome is light and FAST, but Midori is another.  I really do suggest Chrome.
[02:08] <Presario2500> is Midori faster than Chrome?
[02:08] <F0rkBomb> Presario2500, not as polished
[02:08] <alphonso> i use crhome - it's very fast
[02:08] <eremite> Presario2500: No
[02:08] <F0rkBomb> Presario2500, I'd use Chrome
[02:08] <econtomawesome> Presario2500 I use chrome on a netbook, and it is the fastest thing I've seen, but Ive never used Midori
[02:09] <eremite> uSE CHROME, ITS GREAT
[02:09] <Presario2500> ok
[02:09] <WhiteDawn> chrome is nice, but not all websites work
[02:09] <econtomawesome> howdy! I'm using ubuntu 9.10 x64, and I'm curious of the process to make a bootable usb with a ubuntu image without using unetbootin
[02:09] <Presario2500> thanks
[02:09] <FeasibilityStudy> booksbuggy: You didnt read what *I* said.  I said I use aptitude..Not apt, not synaptic
[02:09] <eremite> WhiteDawn: that's because of bad coding on behald of developers.
[02:09] <F0rkBomb> Presario2500, although, take heed...because chrome uses separate tab processes, it can eat ram
[02:10] <WhiteDawn> eremite: if by bad coding you mean the website developers and not chrome, then A+
[02:10] <MaT-dg> WhiteDawn: tell me on, I've yet have to see one
[02:10] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, well you didn't tell me you were using kubuntu
[02:10] <dmdevotee> can anybody help me? i have a script on /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh, and when i do sudo sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh it works fine
[02:10] <dmdevotee> how can i do a launcher for that?
[02:10] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, okay other than apt does Kubuntu have any other kind of package manager?
[02:11] <eremite> WhiteDawn: of course the webside developers and not chrome.  Chrome passes all tests with flying colors.  Its idiost who dont knwop how to code simple css and html that are to blame.
[02:11] <WhiteDawn> MaT-dg: well TomsHardware wouldent work for awhile, and my school's timetable site still doesnt work, but i dont think you can get onto that
[02:11] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, well i call them apt :CP
[02:11] <Losha> eremite: those idiots outnumber you....
[02:11] <WhiteDawn> eremite: yeah when i saw 100 on the acid test i was amazed
[02:11] <eremite> Losha: I know.  I fix their problems all day -_-
[02:11] <FeasibilityStudy> booksbuggy: apt != aptitude
[02:12] <WhiteDawn> yeah, what is the difference between apt-get and aptitude?
[02:12] <WhiteDawn> besides the cows
[02:12] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, just tell me if there is any other package manager existant in kubuntu other than the one you always used?
[02:12] <syx> help
[02:13] <TheTosh> hey ya all
[02:13] <WhiteDawn> syx: just ask question isntead of going help
[02:13] <syx>  /help
[02:13] <eremite> booksbuggy: Kubuntu has aptitude and apt-get, and also synaptic I believe.
[02:13] <Losha> WhiteDawn: they're basically interchangeable, but aptitude is supposed to have better dependency handling. Dunno if it makes any difference in practice. I use apt-get out of habit...
[02:13] <booksbuggy> eremite, FeasibilityStudy <--- Says there is no synaptic for some reason -.-
[02:13] <IdleOne> kubuntu use Adept iirc
[02:13] <TheTosh> http://www.fullflavour.co.nz/
[02:13] <highvolt> Does the package state information located at /var/lib/apt/lists inform apt-get whether a package is installed or not, or is that tracked in another place?
[02:13] <TheTosh> http://www.fullflavour.co.nz/
[02:13] <TheTosh> http://www.fullflavour.co.nz/
[02:13] <WhiteDawn> Losha: ah, ok, thanks
[02:13] <FloodBot3> TheTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:13] <FloodBot1> TheTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:13] <FloodBot2> TheTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:13] <FloodBot4> TheTosh: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:14] <daniskami> Also, aptitude keeps better logs and has a curses interface in case you need it
[02:14] <eremite> booksbuggy: then he doesnt know what he's talking about?
[02:14] <Losha> WhiteDawn: Did you mean supercow powers?
[02:14] <ZykoticK9> Losha, the better dependency hangling is outdated - they are both "more or less" equal nowadays
[02:14] <WhiteDawn> Losha: yes, the super cow powers
[02:14] <IdleOne> !info adept
[02:14] <Losha> ZykoticK9: that accords with my experience...
[02:14] <booksbuggy> eremite, keep on trying to tell him to use synaptics to check for broken packages -.- and he won't listen
[02:14] <MaT-dg> WhiteDawn: your school's timetable doesn't interrest me :P Complain to the coders/principal about that. Tomshardware works fine at first sight...
[02:14] <FeasibilityStudy> eremite: No Kubuntu doesn't have Synaptic.  It uses KPackageGet
[02:14] <Losha> WhiteDawn: did anyone ever find out what 'super cow powers' are?
[02:14] <TheTosh> Hi
[02:14] <kpomeroy> dmdevotee: Do you want to create a launcher on the desktop? If you are running Ubuntu, you would right click on the desktop, and select "Create Launcher...", then name it and connect the shell script to the launcher in the command field.
[02:15] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, well then use that to look for the broken packages
[02:15] <ZykoticK9> Losha, perhaps I'm just sticking up for apt as it's what i use as well ;)
[02:15] <WhiteDawn> Losha: good question, i just thought it was a in-joke with the two compeeting programs
[02:15] <eremite> FeasibilityStudy: Adept is what you want
[02:15] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, since if that's the equavlent of synaptics in gnome then it should work pretty much the same thing
[02:15] <econtomawesome> howdy! I'm using ubuntu 9.10 x64, and I'm curious of the process to make a bootable usb with a ubuntu image without using unetbootin
[02:15] <ZykoticK9> Losha, WhiteDawn "apt-get moo" to see the super-cow powers - sudo not required
[02:16] <dmdevotee> kpomeroy: what exactly i have to type on command box, please?
[02:16] <WhiteDawn> ZykoticK9: yeah thats what were talking about
[02:16] <dmdevotee> i tried 2 things and they didn't work
[02:16] <eremite> FeasibilityStudy: you can install synaptic with ease.  sudo apt-get install synaptic    takes 10 seconds to install.
[02:16] <FeasibilityStudy> I dont want or need synaptic
[02:16] <booksbuggy> back to my own question: anyone know if there is a way to remove firefox add ons with terminal?
[02:16] <FeasibilityStudy> I prefer the terminal
[02:16] <Losha> ZykoticK9: is that it? I think I'm disappointed....
[02:16] <IdleOne> eremite: why? he has Adept and can use the terminal to install packages. no need to install Synaptic also
[02:16] <ZykoticK9> WhiteDawn, have you seen aptitude's version?  it's actually even better
[02:17] <eremite> IdleOne: he doesnt seem to know hwo to use it.
[02:17] <WhiteDawn> ZykoticK9: haha yeah
[02:17] <deserteagle> hello?
[02:17] <kpomeroy> dmdevotee: you could type in the command which I believe you said was " /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh" or you could click on the browse button and navigate to the file
[02:17] <IdleOne> FeasibilityStudy: what is it you are trying to install, btw #kubuntu might be a better place for you to ask.
[02:17] <WhiteDawn> i think cowsay should be a default installed package in all distrobutions
[02:18] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, use adept to find the broken packages before YOUR system actually kills itself
[02:18] <eremite> IdleOne: i believe he's looking to see which packages are installed or broken
[02:18] <deserteagle> there we go... so anyways, why won't GRUB show all the partitions? what could stop grub from listing the different partitions in a hdd?
[02:18] <kalesian> hi, does anyone have any experience with Proliants?
[02:18] <econtomawesome> howdy! I'm using ubuntu 9.10 x64, and I'm curious of the process to make a bootable usb with a ubuntu image without using unetbootin
[02:18] <histo> deserteagle: it doens't see operating systems on them?
[02:18] <eremite> deserteagle: it doesnt list each partition, it lists all OSs
[02:18] <FeasibilityStudy> IdleOne: forget it.  No one here understands even the basics of terminal commands.  My problem has been identified as a bug that has yet to be fixed..
[02:18] <IdleOne> FeasibilityStudy: look for Adept in the K menu. I have never used it but I am sure there is a way to see broken packages with it
[02:18] <ZykoticK9> kalesian, if you don't get an answer in this channel you might want to try #ubuntu-server as well
[02:18] <WhiteDawn> econtomawesome: why wont you use unetbootin?
[02:19] <deserteagle> eremite, in grub rescue> ls  ?
[02:19] <IdleOne> FeasibilityStudy: okie dokie :)
[02:19] <dmdevotee> kpomeroy:
[02:19] <dmdevotee> i typed in the command
[02:19] <deserteagle> histo, it's supposed to show (hd0) (hd0,0) (hd0,1)
[02:19] <dmdevotee> sudo sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh
[02:19] <kalesian> ZykoticK9: ahh, good tip.
[02:19] <eremite> deserteagle: you lost me.  I guess you can scratch my statement from the record.
[02:19] <dmdevotee> and didn't work
[02:19] <IdleOne> FeasibilityStudy: sudo dpkg -configure -a? perhaps
[02:19] <deserteagle> eremite, lol
[02:19] <histo> deserteagle: no it only shows operating systems not partitions
[02:19] <dmdevotee> typed sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh
[02:19] <Losha> FeasibilityStudy: those are fighting words. I'm an old cli hacker...
[02:19] <dmdevotee> didn't work
[02:19] <FeasibilityStudy> I did that already.  It doesnt help.  It is a bug
[02:20] <kpomeroy> lose the "sudo sh", and try that
[02:20] <histo> !grub > deserteagle
[02:20] <FeasibilityStudy> I am on Lucid.
[02:20] <econtomawesome> WhiteDawn for some reason I keep getting errors when I try to run the iso. Doesn't matter which ISO I use or which pendrive I use
[02:20] <booksbuggy> back to my own question: anyone know if there is a way to remove firefox add ons with terminal?
[02:20] <histo> dmdevotee: you don't need sudo to run it.
[02:20] <IdleOne> FeasibilityStudy: ok, ahh well in beta we call those not yet implemented features :)
[02:20] <Losha> FeasibilityStudy: then you are off-topic here. Get thee to #ubuntu+1 ....
[02:20] <eremite> FeasibilityStudy: WRONG CHANNEL.  You want #ubuntu-1  I think
[02:20] <dmdevotee> histo: so, what i have to do?
[02:20] <ZykoticK9> Losha, he's already there
[02:21] <histo> dmdevotee: chmod a+x /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh
[02:21] <IdleOne> ok let's all back off FeasibilityStudy he knows what the issue is and how/wait to fix it
[02:21] <dmdevotee> histo: i did that
[02:21] <Losha> #ubuntu-1 -- that's brilliant....
[02:21] <WhiteDawn> econtomawesome: try not to use the iso's and download using one of the premade options, I had same issue as you till i did this
[02:21] <histo> dmdevotee: cd /home/dmdevotee/djl
[02:21] <histo> dmdevotee: ./djl.sh
[02:21] <dmdevotee> histo: i want a LAUNCHER
[02:21] <ZykoticK9> Losha, you should suggest -1 as a new channel ;)
[02:22] <Losha> ZykoticK9: it's tempting....
[02:22] <booksbuggy> anyone know how to remove firefox add-ons via terminal?
[02:22] <eremite> booksbuggy: nope, sorry.
[02:22] <deserteagle> dmdevotee, so... what launching program you using?
[02:22] <F0rkBomb> dmdevotee, we've told you about 6 ways to make a launcher for a shell script, and none of them work for you
[02:22] <booksbuggy> dang it -.-
[02:22] <histo> dmdevotee: does it work from terminal?
[02:22] <diego-ch> hi guys i'm trying to install v4l on ubuntu karmic mini, but it fails, says that firedtv files are missing, what can i do ?
[02:22] <dmdevotee> histo: yes
[02:22] <deserteagle> booksbuggy, easiest way: run firefox in safe mode
[02:22] <econtomawesome> WhiteDawn What do you mean? I downloaded the ISO for the ubuntu karmic mini
[02:22] <histo> dmdevotee: okay now right click on desktop and create launcher
[02:22] <econtomawesome> WhiteDawn I didn't create my own iso?
[02:22] <booksbuggy> one of the add on is not compatible and somehow it grayed out the uninstall option -.-
[02:22] <deserteagle> booksbuggy, it'll ask you if you want to disable them, once disabled you can uninstall them
[02:22] <F0rkBomb> histo, been through all this with him about 45 minutes ago :)
[02:22] <histo> dmdevotee: comand will be sh ~/djl/djl.sh
[02:23] <dmdevotee> deserteagle: dunno what program i am using....i only do right click on desktop and create launcher
[02:23] <histo> dmdevotee: if that doens't work try putting it in quotes
[02:23] <booksbuggy> both disable and uninstal are grayed out -.-
[02:23] <WhiteDawn> econtomawesome: there should be a dropdown menu in unetbootin to select a distro
[02:23] <booksbuggy> well nevermind it is diabled
[02:23] <econtomawesome> WhiteDawn ah I see what you mean then
[02:23] <booksbuggy> but it still won't let me uninstall
[02:23] <FeasibilityStudy> And I came here only because no one was responding in ubuntu+1.  Now they are, I am outta here.
[02:23] <econtomawesome> WhiteDawn I'm going to give usb-creator-gtk a go and then try that
[02:23] <kpomeroy> dmdevotee: are you running ubuntu in gnome?
[02:24] <dmdevotee> yes, gnome
[02:24] <diego-ch> can anyone help me ?
[02:24] <WhiteDawn> econtomawesome: good luck
[02:24] <diego-ch> hi guys i'm trying to install v4l on ubuntu karmic mini, but it fails, says that firedtv files are missing, what can i do ?
[02:24] <booksbuggy> FeasibilityStudy, good luck
[02:25] <booksbuggy> deserteagle, how do i run firefox in safe mode
[02:25] <IdleOne> !info firedtv > diego-ch
[02:25] <diego-ch> ok thanks
[02:26] <IdleOne> you got the info?
[02:26] <dmdevotee> histo: sh ~/djl/djl.sh doesn't work, and sh "/home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh" doesn't work too (on command box of app launcher)
[02:26] <kpomeroy> dedevotee: ok, do what i told you before, right click on the desktop, select create launcher. In the command field box type in:  /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh and name it whatever you want. It should then work. You don't have to run any commands in the terminal
[02:26] <diego-ch> yes... but i'm trying to install an dibcom usb adapter
[02:26] <IdleOne> !find firedtv > diego-ch
[02:26] <econtomawesome> WhiteDawn it worked! :-D
[02:26] <econtomawesome> adios
[02:27] <booksbuggy> how do i start firefox in safe-mode?
[02:28] <IdleOne> booksbuggy: firefox --safemode in terminal
[02:28] <diego-ch> !find v4l-dvb
[02:28] <histo> dmdevotee: put the sh in the quotes also
[02:28] <booksbuggy> okey dokey
[02:28] <eremite> booksbuggy: firefox -safe-mode   <--- first result in Google.
[02:28] <dmdevotee> name: DJL5 . command: /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh . double click on it: does nothing
[02:28] <booksbuggy> :CP
[02:28] <eremite> what kind of face is :CP?
[02:29] <booksbuggy> creeping even in safe-mode it won't let me uninstall -.- stumble upon toolbar -.-
[02:29] <histo> dmdevotee: hold up let me check something
[02:29] <booksbuggy> :P    C -> huge nose --> :CP
[02:30] <IdleOne> diego-ch: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/448811 is that what you are experiencing?
[02:30] <eremite> booksbuggy: did you even try researching thsi on yoru own before coming here?  First result in google, again http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+uninstall+an+add-on
[02:30] <dmdevotee> if i type sudo sh /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh on terminal it works, but i would want a launcher...
[02:30] <IdleOne> eremite: not everybody has strong google fu. pointing that out to them is not helpful.
[02:30] <kpomeroy> dmdevotee: I was wrong, it need to be " /home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh", it needs the " ".
[02:31] <dmdevotee> anda if course, i want to learn
[02:31] <histo> dmdevotee: can you launch it without sudo
[02:31] <eremite> IdleOne: pointing out that they should use Google is soemthing positive.  Teaches them to teach themselves, and saves us hassle.  Saves everyone a headache in teh end.
[02:31] <histo> dmdevotee: if not thats the problem
[02:31] <IdleOne> !google | emergion
[02:31] <dmdevotee> histo: without sudo doesn't work
[02:31] <ZykoticK9> dmdevotee, try using gksudo in your launcher
[02:31] <IdleOne> !google | eremite
[02:31] <dsnyders> Hi all!  My windows is pooched.  Is there an ubuntu tool to read a vista event log?
[02:32] <diego-ch> IdleOne: not exactly, i've just installed karmic  then was trying to install v4l-dvb but it fails
[02:32] <eremite> Yeah yeah yeah, I know the botproganda
[02:32] <IdleOne> eremite: ok well then please follow the rules
[02:32] <eggonlea> Hi guys, we could search a Ubuntu package by many methods, like dpkg -S or visit packages.ubuntu.com. But how to find a manpage? E.g. by default I cannot "man XvShmPutImage". How to find and install the correct manpage under Ubuntu? I google'ed this but failed to find an answer. Thanks!
[02:32] <histo> dsnyders: you would need to find where the evenlog is stored on the drive and read it that way
[02:32] <diego-ch> IdleOne: like this<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:32] <nava> ?
[02:32] <IdleOne> eremite: if you feel you know better then please join #ubuntu-irc and let them know
[02:32] <nava> ?
[02:32] <band-aid> does anyone know where nautilus shares the samba configurations that are created when you use the GUI to share a folder?
[02:32] <dsnyders> histo, I don't think that they're text files.
[02:32] <eremite> IdleOne: I didnt break any rules.  I asked if they googled it first.  That is not the same as teklling someone to goole it.  \
[02:32] <histo> eggonlea: apropos something
[02:33] <Losha> eremite: I google it for them. In the long run, it saves time...
[02:33] <IdleOne> eremite: "Your honor I didn't shoot  him in the head. I just said I was going to!" still go to jail
[02:33] <histo> dsnyders: it may be.  Windows saves a lot of stuff in plain text and xml in wierd directorys.  If its in the registry or something i'm sure there are tools
[02:33] <histo> dsnyders: either way not really a ubuntu question.
[02:34] <eggonlea> histo: thanks, but "apropos XvShmPutImage" returns nothing.
[02:34] <IdleOne> diego-ch: that is above my head. report a bug I guess
[02:34] <eremite> IdleOne: hardly comparable.  Losha: I did google it for him.  Irrelavant.
[02:34] <Losha> IdleOne: on different charges though...
[02:34] <dmdevotee> zykotick9: thanks, but with gksudo "/home/dmdevotee/djl/djl.sh" does not launch, but it ask for root pass
[02:34] <diego-ch> IdleOne: i'll see what i can do...
[02:34] <tp2> General question here if anyone has any quick advice.  Recently install Ubuntu Server 9.10 on vmware ESXi server and it seems rather slow compared to other unix/linux based guest VMs.  For example, any time I login it takes about an extra 10 seconds or so and then gives me about 20 lines of text about with system info and stats etc.  everything seems to work as it should out of the box install (Lamp server etc) but it just seems 'slow'.
[02:35] <dsnyders> histo, well, is there a general linux channel where I could ask?
[02:35] <histo> eggonlea: what are you trying to do exactly? your original question was confusing
[02:35] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, ##linux
[02:35] <Losha> eremite: I used to think I could train them, but they outnumber us, so....
[02:35] <histo> dsnyders: you can search synaptic also
[02:35] <WhiteDawn> tp2: there are some packages for hypervisors in synaptic, you can try some of those, i dont really ahve any experience in that subject though
[02:35] <greezmunkey> Losha!
[02:35] <greezmunkey> hehe
[02:36] <eggonlea> histo: I just want to know how to install the CORRECT manpage if I only knows the function name.
[02:36] <tp2> whitedawn - synaptic?  if it would be easier to just google let me know :)
[02:36] <kpomeroy> I am trying to install a .deb but it says a software management tool is running but i don't have synaptic, the update manager or the terminal open. Are there any other tools that could be causing the problem?
[02:37] <eggonlea> Just like we could dpkg -S a file_we_look_for.
[02:37] <histo> dsnyders: http://ask.metafilter.com/15838/Converting-Windows-Event-Viewer-log-files-on-a-nix-platform
[02:37] <WhiteDawn> tp2: new to ubuntu? synaptic is the package manager, its under system/administration/synaptic on the top bar
[02:37] <histo> eggonlea: how did you install the package?
[02:37] <ZykoticK9> kpomeroy, have you tried logging out and back in?
[02:37] <kpomeroy> Yeah I tried that once, I could try it again i guess
[02:38] <WhiteDawn> tp2: you can also launch it through terminal with "gksudo synaptic" although it is a GUI program so make sure you arent cli only
[02:38] <eggonlea> histo: 1) we could "dpkg -S" to find a package name by a filename; 2) how to find a manpage package name by a function name?
[02:39] <ZykoticK9> kpomeroy, logout/login or rebooting is probably the safest option -- but i think you could manually remove the lock as a last resort
[02:39] <histo> eggonlea: manpages don't have package names they come with the package
[02:39] <tp2> whitedawn - very new to ubuntu. all my *nix experience is Sun Solaris/HP-UX/AS400.  Very new to Linux in general.  The way you describe 'under sys/adm/syn top bar' it sounds very gui like?  my install of server sits at command prompt after login etc. did i miss an install option to get the synaptic tool?
[02:39] <histo> eggonlea: you can search the installed man pages with man -k sometext
[02:39] <kpomeroy> Ok I will restart the computer but if it doesn't work what is the override?
[02:40] <ZykoticK9> tp2, server does not have a GUI, text only
[02:40] <WhiteDawn> tp2: ah yeah it is a gui program, you can use apt-get for a cli, make sure you run it as root. Synaptic is just a nice and easy way to search through avalible packages
[02:41] <rocketeerbkw> a file is 777 and I'm a member of the group that has ownership of file. I can't use chmod w/o sudo "operation not permitted" are user owners the only ones able to use chmod?
[02:41] <tp2> whitedawn - ok thx.  i think i will do some google searching on ubuntu and some vm/hypervisor pkgs to speed things up on vmware.  i tried a vmware tools install with my vmware guest mgr but it doesn't seem to work or install anything.
[02:41] <booksbuggy> well then either firefox already killed the toolbar or else there was a bug again.......
[02:41] <Joker_-_> tp2: "apt-get install [PackageName1] [PackageName2]..." (to install a package) "apt-cache search [something]" = search for a package
[02:41] <eggonlea> histo: the problem is that the manpage package is not installed yet, so man -k or apropos cannot help.
[02:41] <ZykoticK9> rocketeerbkw, user owner or root
[02:41] <IdleOne> kpomeroy: sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock
[02:42] <histo> tp2: apt-cache search hypervisor   will list packages that match that.
[02:42] <rocketeerbkw> ZykoticK9: thx
[02:42] <histo> tp2: then you can sudo apt-get instlal <packagename>
[02:42] <lotus> hey, I'm having issues staying connected / authenticating with a PEAP mschapV2 WPA Enterprise based network at my university.  Does any one have experience with these types of issues?
[02:42] <tp2> joker_-_ - thx.  does the search do wildcarding?  can i do a "apt-cache search vmware"?  or would it be "apt-cache search *vm*"?
[02:42] <histo> eggonlea: the manpage for a certain app isn't there right?
[02:42] <Joker_-_> tp2: it is "wildcards" by default
[02:42] <tp2> joker_-_ ok thx.
[02:42] <histo> eggonlea: once again how did you install the app?
[02:42] <Joker_-_> tp2: apt-cache search vmware should work
[02:42] <WhiteDawn> Joker_-_: thanks, did not know that command etheir
[02:43] <Joker_-_> tp2: I tend to use "| grep something"
[02:43] <histo> eggonlea: its quite possible it didn't come with documentation
[02:43] <eggonlea> histo: how do you find the right package name (to be apt-get install) if you only know the function (to man)?
[02:43] <zombie-robot> how do i ssh from an iphone to ubunto to start delugr?
[02:43] <Joker_-_> tp2: as in: "apt-cache search somethingVague | grep somethingPrecise
[02:43] <eggonlea> histo: Do you mean maybe the manpage/doc for that API is not available at all?
[02:43] <histo> eggonlea: you can search the repositories
[02:43] <Guest75815> hello every body,    how can i create submenu in office
[02:44] <lotus> exit
[02:44] <histo> eggonlea: you aren't making much sense What are you trying to get working?  Are you looking for a package?  Or documentation on a package thats installed?
[02:44] <Guest75815> hello ,every body,how can i create submenu in office  menu
[02:44] <fredim> can not get up in modprobe modules    ( WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/lirc-blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release )
[02:44] <ZykoticK9> Guest75815, System / Preferences / Main menu
[02:45] <WhiteDawn> Guest75815: go to System / preference/ mainmenu
[02:45] <WhiteDawn> ZykoticK9: darn, beat me too it
[02:45] <eggonlea> histo: Sorry, I've thought I've express myself clearly. I have a function name (API like XvShmPutImage). I want to get the right manpage installed, by any way.
[02:45] <devz0r> My computer lost power while installing a package, and now I am having issues doing anything with apt-get/aptitude/synaptic/etc. regarding configuration errors. apt-get -f install doesn't fix it, dpkg --configure -a doesn't fix it.
[02:45] <ZykoticK9> WhiteDawn, but you had a "go to" so yours was better :)
[02:45] <tp2> joker_-_  i found a few pkgs i'd like more info about from the search on vmware.  is there a way to get more details than the single line description that comes back or is it best to just google the pkg name?
[02:46] <booksbuggy> devz0r, you using ubuntu or kubuntu?
[02:46] <devz0r> ubuntu
[02:46] <WhiteDawn> ZykoticK9: why thank you good sir, but we cannot forget your wonderfull advice, may it live forever
[02:46] <eggonlea> histo: any method to get the manpage filename or package name so that I could apt-get install <the right package> and then I could man <the function>.
[02:46] <booksbuggy> okay synaptics and look for the broken packages unless you are using beta system
[02:46] <Guest75815> but i want create submenu  in my  application
[02:46] <devz0r> i am using lucid beta
[02:47] <booksbuggy> eh then i think this is the wrong place to ask
[02:47] <Joker_-_> tp2: you can try apt-cache show
[02:47] <devz0r> well i think this has happened before in stable versions
[02:47] <devz0r> i don't remember how i fixed it
[02:47] <Joker_-_> apt-cache --help for all the commands, as any other unix/linux command
[02:47] <kpomeroy> ok using "sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock" didn't seem to work and neither did restarting the computer
[02:47] <booksbuggy> defz0r, normally i would just go into synaptics and just look for broken packages
[02:48] <Joker_-_> tp2: I tend to know what I'm looking for, but I think I would use google to find more info, if available.
[02:48] <histo> eggonlea: try apt-cache search someterm
[02:48] <hellyeah> hey
[02:48] <histo> eggonlea: then you can find the package you are looking for and install it.
[02:48] <hellyeah> wassup
[02:49] <WhiteDawn> tp2: there is also package search on ubuntu's website, you can google for that
[02:49] <tp2> joker_-_ 10-4. did that.. first links came up were pages at http://packages.ubuntu.com/etc...
[02:49] <eggonlea> histo: e.g. I could apt-get install manpages manpages-dev, etc. to install some basic man pages. But I don't know the "right package name" which contains the "right manpage" for an API.
[02:49] <Joker_-_> tp2: apt-cache show works well if you don'T have any GUI available
[02:49] <Joker_-_> tp2: there's also elinks, if you are the adventurous type :)
[02:50] <tp2> whitedawn - yup thats where i am now.  thanks for the virtualization tip btw.  looks like "open-vm-tools" is a pkg that will greatly enhance ubuntu guest os on a vmware esx host.
[02:50] <Guest75815> ?how to  <WhiteDawn>  <ZykoticKg
[02:50] <Guest75815> can you tell me
[02:50] <eggonlea> histo: I understand what you mean. but the problem is we lack a way to find the package name from a function name.
[02:50] <Losha> eggonlea: actually, I don't know of a good solution to your issue. You could try apt-cache search man | egrep -i manpage but if the developers forgot to include man pages in the -dev package, you might be sunk. I would google for the API in that case, and maybe look in the include files...
[02:50] <Joker_-_> Engaging shutdown procedure. Good night.
[02:50] <trism> eggonlea: you might try http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ it found that function in http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/en/man3/XvShmPutImage.3.html (although it appears to only be in the lucid package, it isn't in karmic anyway)
[02:50] <tp2> joker_-_  "elinks" for the adventurous type? i'm lol-ing.. not even sure why yet!
[02:50] <histo> eggonlea: what is a function name?
[02:51] <ZykoticK9> Guest75815, in Main Menu - highlight Office on the left side, then click the New Menu button on the right
[02:51] <eggonlea> Losha: Thanks. I google them now. And want to know if Ubuntu provide a way to do it offline (in case I haven't network).
[02:51] <histo> !apt-file | eggonlea
[02:51] <kpomeroy> I fixed my problem, oh happy day!
[02:51] <WhiteDawn> could someone send me a private message, idk if there working or not
[02:52] <eggonlea> trism: this is what I want, I think. WOuld try it now. Thanks!
[02:52] <Guest75815> but i want this setp in my program
[02:52] <devz0r> it does this, but with about 50 other packages, too : Setting up libssh-4 (0.4.0-1ubuntu1) ...
[02:52] <devz0r> dpkg (subprocess): unable to execute installed post-installation script: Exec format error
[02:52] <devz0r> dpkg: error processing libssh-4 (--configure):
[02:52] <devz0r>  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[02:52] <FloodBot3> devz0r: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:52] <eggonlea> histo & ubottu: thanks!
[02:53] <tp2> whitedawn did a test msg to u.
[02:53] <WhiteDawn> tp2: yup worked fine thanks
[02:53] <DarkStar1> do I need the openVPN service running?
[02:53] <tp2> whitedawn tried a dcc chat too.. not sure if that worked for u
[02:53] <lotus> hey, I'm running nm-applet and am having connection issues with PEAP MSCHAPv2 WPA Enterprise networks.  Does anyone have ideas as to why my connection drops and has trouble re-authenticating?  One out of every five attempts to authenticate works correctly and I have to verify my password on every failed attempt.
[02:54] <listedaswanted> How do i make my copy of windows as default boot when using grub? Because linux is at the top when i get into the grub boot selection after a couple of seconds linux will boot because its at the top
[02:54] <lotus> listedaswanted: what grub version are you running?
[02:54] <listedaswanted> im not sure it came with ubuntu 9.10
[02:55] <daskreech> Hello
[02:55] <ZykoticK9> listedaswanted, fresh install of 9.10 or upgrade (it makes a difference)
[02:55] <daskreech>  can anyone help with a resolution problem?
[02:55] <listedaswanted> fresh install
[02:55] <lotus> daskreech: just ask.  You'll find out.
 fresh install
[02:55] <daskreech> I can't get the monitor to be anything bigger than 320x240
[02:55] <mgriffin> hello, question about apparmor. someone in #mysql is seeing this: http://pastebin.com/T5fX6kKH  what could cause that and is the solution to add /sys/devices/system/cpu/ r," to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld ?
[02:55] <daskreech> I've redone the config
[02:55] <lotus> listedaswanted: My guess is you're running grub2
[02:55] <daskreech> redone the xorg.conf
[02:56] <eremite> daskreech: http://chvnx.com/post/280205781/change-screen-resolution-in-linux-ubuntu
[02:56] <daskreech>  added the modelines manually through xrandr
[02:56] <listedaswanted> lotus okay cool
[02:56] <Losha> listedaswanted: I think you want to edit the GRUB_DEFAULT line in /etc/default/grub and change its value. 0 means the first entry, adjust as appropriate. The run grub-update...
[02:56] <Losha> listedaswanted: the -> then
[02:56] <lotus> listedaswanted: I think you want to modify /etc/default/grub
[02:56] <WhiteDawn> daskreech: happend to me once aswell with my crt, fixed itself after a reboot some how. Wish i could be more help, have you tried a lsmod to see if your video card is running properly?
[02:56] <ZykoticK9> listedaswanted, i think if you edit /etc/default/grub and switch GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to GRUB_DEFAULT=1 then run update-grub it should work
[02:57] <lotus> yeah Losha beat me to it listedaswanted
[02:57] <listedaswanted> okay cool thanks guys
[02:57] <Arsin> If I install 10.04 will it need to wipe the drive?
[02:57] <Losha> lotus: that's cause you asked the questions for me!
[02:57] <tp2> joker_-_ holy cow.. just did a "apt-get install open-vm-tools"  you should see the list of output before the Y/N question!  it wants a ton of other pkgs installed then another pile "suggested" then another pile to upgrade!
[02:57] <lotus> ;)
[02:58] <daskreech> WhiteDawn: Ah good suggestion I have a nvidia
[02:58] <lotus> Arsin: a fresh install?
[02:58] <WhiteDawn> tp: maybe its trying to install a gui of some sort?
[02:58] <lotus> Arsin: you might be able to do a dist-upgrade
[02:58] <Silver_Swords> hi all. my mouse wont slow down using xset values.  i did xset m 1/100 1 and even tried 1/200 200 and it's still way too fast.
[02:59] <lotus> Arsin: also, do you have multiple partitions? A seperate partition for home (and any other folders you want to save?)
[02:59] <lotus> Anyone have any ideas why network-manager has difficulty with PEAP networks?
[02:59] <daskreech> eremite: xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 640x480
[02:59] <daskreech> eremite: That's what I keep getting
[02:59] <daskreech> Regardless of what I try
[02:59] <Arsin> lotus: My 9.10 GDM broke due to me trying to downgrade GDM to get the login screens and forgot if I needed any files there. I can't seem to be able to read my Linux partition VIA Win7 so I thought about installing 10.04
[03:00] <Izinucs> daskreech: you have to add the resolution to the sysem using xrandr then use xrandr to change to that newly created system rez.
[03:00] <Losha> Arsin: 10.04 is still in beta i.e. full of bugs. How about reinstalling 9.10 ?
[03:00] <Izinucs> !xrandr > daskreech
[03:00] <shazbotmcnasty> I have a bunch of open ports when I portscan myself
[03:00] <shazbotmcnasty> how should I fix this?
[03:01] <shazbotmcnasty> iptables?
[03:01] <WhiteDawn> Arsin: have you tried running sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm ?
[03:01] <WhiteDawn> shazbotmcnasty: try using lokkit, has nice gui and is mostly user friendly
[03:01] <Arsin> Never tried that I guess I'll take a stab at that before doing anything
[03:01] <Izinucs> shazbotmcnasty: are you portscanning from outside your machine?
[03:02] <shazbotmcnasty> Izinucs, no
[03:02] <shazbotmcnasty> inside
[03:02] <ZykoticK9> Arsin, do you have files you want to save on your current install?  you can use a livecd.
[03:02] <lotus> Arsin: if you're just worried about losing some files, boot a live CD and back them up.  Otherwise, I suggest a simple wipe/reinstall.  There might be a way to fix it without a clean install, but a clean install gives you as nice an environment as you can get
[03:02] <shazbotmcnasty> i've only got 7 open ports when I portscan myself on the same computer
[03:02] <Izinucs> shazbotmcnasty: that's the problem.. you have to check from outside.. your machine will open whatever ports you want from inside..
[03:02] <daskreech> Izinucs: xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 640x480
[03:02] <shazbotmcnasty> mmk
[03:02] <Arsin> Optical drives are down right now so I can't use my live disks
[03:02] <daskreech> Izinucs: I got that back
[03:03] <mgriffin> hello, question about apparmor. someone in #mysql is seeing this: http://pastebin.com/T5fX6kKH  what could cause that and is the solution to add /sys/devices/system/cpu/ r," to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld ?
[03:03] <ironm> hi ... one question .. typo3 4.3.1 (ubuntu 10.04 beta1 amd64) ... the following error .. any idea where to look ? .. TNX in advance :-)
[03:03] <duane> Hello
[03:03] <Izinucs> daskreech: even after adding the correct rez to the system via xrandr?
[03:03] <ironm> PHP Fatal error:  session_start(): Failed to initialize storage module: files (path: ) in /usr/share/typo3/typo3_src-4.3/typo3/index.php on line 122
[03:03] <lotus> shazbotmcnasty: https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2
[03:03] <daskreech> Izinucs: Yes it's listed and all
[03:03] <Izinucs> daskreech: what card do you have
[03:03] <lotus> shazbotmcnasty: shields up is a web-based port-scanner which tests the security of your computer
[03:03] <WhiteDawn> ironm: got to channel #ubuntu+1 for 10.04 help
[03:03] <thenappy> hiii everybody
[03:03] <rabbitnightmare> OMG I am about ready to pull my hair out, ok I tried to set up raid with Ubuntu and failed, I disabled raid in the bios completely and yet the live CD keeps loading the stupid fakeraid drivers how the hell do I use simple IDE drivers to install Ubuntu
[03:03] <duane> Is this AOL ?
[03:04] <ironm> hi WhiteDawn  .. TNX
[03:04] <zombie-robot> how do i ssh from an iphone to ubunto to start delugr?
[03:04] <lotus> zombie-robot: dunno, but that just sounds cool ;)
[03:04] <thenappy> plz someone of u can explain me how install an application
[03:04] <daskreech> Izinucs: Nvidia Geforce
[03:04] <rabbitnightmare> XP loads the IDE drivers but I dont own a license of XP for this machine and really want Linux on it
[03:04] <dsnyders> Anyone know how to read vista event logs from linux?
[03:04] <daskreech> Izinucs: FX 5200
[03:05] <shazbotmcnasty> thanks lotus, also Izinucs I port scanned from outside and found 2 open
[03:05] <lotus> thenappy: aptitude // synaptic are the package managers in ubuntu.  Synaptic is graphical and more user friendly.  You open it up, find the application you want, and then install it.
[03:05] <Izinucs> daskreech: did you use the drivers supplied by ubuntu and if so which ones?
[03:05] <mgriffin> III: nm, your paste expired. since no one complained, i assume no one is interested in app armor problems right now.
[03:05] <lotus> shazbotmcnasty: strange, that didn't highlight my name?
[03:05] <Izinucs> shazbotmcnasty: np
[03:05] <duane> Anyone here play netpanzer
[03:05] <running_rabbit07> I have LXDE 9.10 on one of my systems and I made the great mistake of editing the Main Menu applet and removing the Settings menu from the main menu.
[03:05] <shazbotmcnasty> because I do it better
[03:05] <Izinucs> lotus: does this highlight?
[03:05] <shazbotmcnasty> probably because the comma
[03:05] <running_rabbit07> Is there a command I can run to get back into the main menu applet?
[03:05] <daskreech> Izinucs: nvdia-173
[03:05] <lotus> Izinucs: yeah.  But I don't want to rely on people doing it the "expected" way :D!
[03:06] <lotus> Izinucs: thanks for that, ofcourse
[03:06] <shazbotmcnasty> lotus, did that highlight?
[03:06] <shazbotmcnasty> DID IT?
[03:06] <lotus> shazbotmcnasty: yes!
[03:06] <daskreech> Izinucs: Though I see I have nvidia-96 an nvidia-185 installed
[03:06] <Izinucs> daskreech: let me check nvidia's site for which driver to use.. it might be a different one. hang on.
[03:06] <shazbotmcnasty> Sweet
[03:06] <lotus> shazbotmcnasty: try typing it in the middle of a sentence without the comma
[03:06] <daskreech> Izinucs: hold on let me remove those extra ones
[03:06] <III> mgriffin: will repaste
[03:06] <rabbitnightmare> why is Ubuntu loading a driver to something I have disabled in the BIOS can I get some help please
[03:06] <shazbotmcnasty> I like it when lotus touches me
[03:06] <lotus> shazbotmcnasty: nothing.
[03:07] <lotus> shazbotmcnasty: and I'm flattered.
[03:07] <shazbotmcnasty> I like it when lotus touches me
[03:07] <rabbitnightmare> I am going out of my mind, 6 hours now trying to get this machine up and running
[03:07] <lotus> lol
[03:07] <shazbotmcnasty> lotus, did it work the second time?
[03:07] <daskreech> rabbitnightmare: What's the problem?
[03:07] <rabbitnightmare> raid
[03:07] <rabbitnightmare> lol
[03:07] <lotus> shazbotmcnasty: nope.  Neither time.  I guess it has to be at the start of a sentence.
[03:07] <daskreech> rabbitnightmare: I'm guessing not hardware?
[03:07] <lotus> That's a shame, imho.
[03:07] <rabbitnightmare> I disabled it in the bios and yet Ubuntu still loads fakeraid off the lice cd
[03:07] <Losha> lotus: which client are you using?
[03:08] <mgriffin> rabbitnightmare: what goal does raid solve? which raid level are you using?
[03:08] <lotus> Losha: irssi
[03:08] <Izinucs> daskreech: the 173 driver is correct.. have you tried to run nvidia-xconfig?
[03:08] <shazbotmcnasty> if you're on xchat you can fix that easily by going to Settings>preferences>alerts
[03:08] <rabbitnightmare> I dont want or care for raid
[03:08] <tp2> quick question.  i have a few custom commands in my home dir for my login that makes things a little easier.  instead of a bunch of sudo again and again i do a 'sudo bash' to get root access.  when it does that it shows i am now root user but my .profile customizations are gone.. and understandable so.. where can i find where the root user .profile is stored? don't see anything like /home/root
[03:08] <mgriffin> rabbitnightmare: what is it preventing you from doing?
[03:08] <rabbitnightmare> I disabled it in the bios and yet Linux loads it installs to the single hdd and fails to boot
[03:08] <ZykoticK9> tp2, sudo -i
[03:08] <daskreech> Izinucs: do I need nvidia-common?
[03:08] <lotus> tp2: /root is the root home dir
[03:08] <III> hello all.. I was having some issues with mysql not running.. has anyone seen this? --> http://pastebin.com/UstWbRqZ
[03:08] <rabbitnightmare> installing Ubuntu to the damn hdd
[03:09] <Losha> tp2: I think you want /root instead of /home/root...
[03:09] <Izinucs> daskreech: you looking in synaptic? I think that's a meta package..
[03:09] <daskreech> k
[03:09] <daskreech> thnks
[03:09] <rabbitnightmare> XP loads it correctly so I used XP to delete all partitions thinking it would fix it but I dont own a license of XP for this machine
[03:09] <mgriffin> heh using windows cd to fix a linux problem amuses me
[03:10] <zombie-robot> i just installed ssh how do i start the server?
[03:10] <Izinucs> daskreech: nvidia-xconfig should already be installed.. try from a terminal.. also you might install nvidia-settings and try that after
[03:10] <mgriffin> i think you are doing something wrong in the installer tbh
[03:10] <shazbotmcnasty> mgriffin, that is disgusting
[03:10] <eric1982> /etc/init.d/sshd start
[03:10] <tp2> kyzotick9 - what is difference of sudo -i and sudo bash?
[03:10] <rabbitnightmare> mgriffin, it didnt work though I thought because it had raid partitions it would but obviously not
[03:10] <tp2> lotus - thanks. found a .profile in /root.  alias cmds working now
[03:10] <ZykoticK9> tp2, don't use "sudo bash"
[03:10] <mgriffin> rabbitnightmare: it does what you tell it to
[03:11] <rabbitnightmare> apparantly not
[03:11] <rabbitnightmare> I disabled raid in the BIOS yet Ubuntu still loads raid
[03:12] <lotus> tp2: good stuff
[03:12] <zombie-robot> bash: /etc/init.d/sshd: No such file or directory
[03:12] <eric1982> Zombie-robot open a terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start
[03:12] <Losha> rabbitnightmare: I don't know much about raid, but like you, I expected when the partitions were erased that this would remove all trace of raid from the disk. All I can suggest is you start googling until you understand how it works...
[03:12] <daskreech> Izinucs: xconfig runs with noerrors or output
[03:12] <eric1982> Zombie-robot open a terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[03:12] <daskreech> Izinucs: Restart X?
[03:12] <lotus> Anyone have experience with network manager or connecting to PEAP/MSCHAPv2 networks at their college or such?
[03:12] <Izinucs> daskreech: is this a newly installed system?
[03:12] <Losha> zombie-robot: /etc/init.d/ssh <--- no trailing d
[03:12] <daskreech> Izinucs: No had it about 2 years
[03:12] <daskreech> Jsut started this morning with no display info
[03:13] <rabbitnightmare> losha way ahead of you and on an Ubuntu forum it told me to disable raid, use XP to boot and delete the partition and then install Ubuntu and yet still loads RAID
[03:13] <daskreech> No clue what made it do that
[03:13] <Losha> lotus: no, but network manager is notoriously buggy. People report better results with wicd...
[03:13] <Izinucs> daskreech: you could try an X restart.. sudo service gdm restart... but probably won't do anything..
[03:14] <Izinucs> daskreech: 9.10?
[03:14] <lotus> Losha: alright.  I'll give it a shot thanks :)
[03:14] <daskreech> I've been getting xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed and  xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 640x480 no matter what I do
[03:14] <daskreech> Izinucs: Yes Koala
[03:14] <rabbitnightmare> its funny I have it on a pata bus and it is still loading it as a sata device
[03:14] <Losha> rabbitnightmare: can you bring up the live cd?
[03:14] <Izinucs> daskreech: did you install nvidia-settings?
[03:14] <rabbitnightmare> I hate this computer
[03:14] <daskreech> rabbitnightmare: How do you mean it's loading it like sata device?
[03:14] <rabbitnightmare> losha obviously as I would not be here
[03:15] <daskreech> Izinucs: Yes I tried that and got xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed
[03:15] <Losha> rabbitnightmare: please pastebin the output from 'sudo fdisk -l'
[03:15] <rabbitnightmare> daskreech, it is loading it as a serial ata raid device and I have it plugged into a pata port
[03:15] <daskreech> Izinucs: If i generate a xorg.conf and then point Xorg -config to it it ignores the modelines inside it
[03:16] <daskreech> rabbitnightmare: all deices are Serialized in the kernel I don't understand what you mean
[03:16] <daskreech> devices
[03:16] <Izinucs> daskreech: have you check to see if there is a xorg.conf file?  It's not normally there on 9.10 but one may have been created.. if so you could try renaming it to xorg.conf.backup and restart X .. it's in /etc/X11/
[03:16] <daskreech> Izinucs: yep with all the modelines etc in there
[03:16] <Izinucs> daskreech: rename it and restart x
[03:16] <daskreech> Izinucs: Oh wait you are saying remove it?
[03:17] <Izinucs> daskreech: by renaming it that effectively removes it.
