[10:58] <d1b> morning if today i wanted to buy a new pc, which would i get if i wanted the best graphics (open source) support?
[10:59] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> d1b - seems to me that there is more support for nvidia than ATI cards
[10:59] <vesh> hi there has gnome 2.31 being realeased yet
[11:00] <jigal> can anyone tell me how i download a source from github?
[11:00] <vesh> hi there has gnome 2.31 being realeased yet
[11:00] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: thanks, but can i configure it via gui? actually the first link doesn't cover the topic, i believe (windows shares are available on ubuntu out-of-the-box, contrary to the opposite)
[11:00] <d1b> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: yes but... which one ?
[11:00] <d1b> i think the old ones are ok but ...
[11:00] <vesh> hi there has gnome 2.31 being realeased yet
[11:01] <bazhang> !repeat | vesh
[11:01] <vesh> thanks m8
[11:03] <vesh> hi there has gnome 2.31 being realeased yet
[11:03] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> d1b - it's pretty hard to say I'm afraid
[11:03] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> when you look for a prebuilt system, check the video card
[11:04] <bazhang> vesh, you've been asked not to repeat so quickly; give it 15-20 minutes between each time
[11:05] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> then check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:05] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> vesh - your question is phrased badly - are you looking for the release date of Gnome 2.31?
[11:06] <vesh> yes
[11:06] <tik> question: I am missing themenu that lefts you "move to workspace." where did it go?
[11:06] <tik> lets
[11:06] <tik> jst noticed

[11:06] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> vesh - actually, I don't think there WILL be a Gnome 2.31!
[11:07] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> I think it goes to Gnome 3...
[11:07] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointThirtyone
[11:08] <thune3> jigal: project pages on github have download button, if you don't want to use git itself.
[11:08] <tik> nm I got it back
[11:09] <vesh> thanks guys, and once again sorry for repeating
[11:09] <bazhang> vesh, welcome
[11:09] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> no probs vesh
[11:10] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: for a start i tried to mount windows shares permanently, but i got either "[mntent]: line 19 in /etc/fstab is bad" or "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on //s10/pliki,

[11:12] <baskak> probably some mismatch
[11:18] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, what's the command you used?
[11:19] <hspaans> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: gnome 3 has been pushed back march 2011
[11:19] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> ah... bummer :(
[11:19] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> I quite like gnome-shell
[11:19] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> just doesn't work too well for me!
[11:20] <evilgeenius> What is the best linux distro for installing on an old Laptop with 512mb ram and 1.6Ghz processor? Thanks
[11:20] <hspaans> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: you can use gnome-shell now already. gnome 3 is nothing more then a point in time to freeze the API and ABI
[11:21] <baskak> i modified fstab and then did "sudo mount -a". the line i added to fstab was "//s10/"pliki (s10)"  /media/s10  cifs  guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode  0  0" in the first case, in the second i tried to modify the netshare name
[11:21] <evilgeenius> I am trying to get my friend to dual boot linux on his old laptop but Im not sure if the latest ubuntu would be good on this old laptop?
[11:21] <ndevastator> does anyone know if MySQL extensions are installed by default ?
[11:21] <ndevastator> when u install php
[11:21] <ndevastator> do i just need to enable it in the php.ini or do i need to download a package ?
[11:22] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> hspaans, last time I did I don't think it liked my graphics driver
[11:22] <JoeMaverickSett> evilgeenius, try Xubuntu : http://www.xubuntu.org/
[11:22] <evilgeenius> JoeMaverickSett: Thanks, what makes that more suitable?
[11:22] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, have you tried smbmount?
[11:23] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: nope...
[11:23] <hspaans> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: minor detail ;-)
[11:23] <JoeMaverickSett> evilgeenius, i haven't tried yet, but it's for low spec pcs.
[11:23] <evilgeenius> How does xubuntu differ from normal ubuntu?
[11:24] <terry__> 10.04 freezes as soon as I start gnome. It works fine with lxde. What is the problem?
[11:24] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> hspaans, lol!
[11:24] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> terry__ like total lockup?
[11:25] <terry__> VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics  Controller (rev 02) is my card
[11:25] <terry__> Yes ta_bu_shi_da_yu
[11:25] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> sorry, as in - can't move the mouse?
[11:25] <earthherebaby> yu-hu!
[11:25] <JoeMaverickSett> evilgeenius, http://www.xubuntu.org/getubuntu. see this.
[11:26] <terry__> correct ta_bu_shi_da_yu it works a few seconds then freezes
[11:26] <earthherebaby> I love this room!
[11:26] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> nasty
[11:26] <ongolaBoy> hi.what may explain that 'indicator-messages' is using all my CPU resources ? :(
[11:26] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> any errors in the x logs?
[11:27] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, do you have mount.cifs installed?
[11:27] <evilgeenius> JoeMaverickSett: Ok im downloading it now, will be interesting to see how it performs..
[11:27] <JoeMaverickSett> evilgeenius, alright. hope you get lucky. =D
[11:27] <evilgeenius> JoeMaverickSett: though the website doesnt actually tell you how it differs from the main ubuntu, apart from that it requires less ram
[11:28] <evilgeenius> Is there a linux distro that looks like windows?
[11:28] <bazhang> evilgeenius, this is ubuntu support
[11:28] <Blackheart> hyrens boot cd
[11:28] <Blackheart> it looks like windows 98 i guess
[11:28] <bazhang> evilgeenius, you can install themes to do that if you wish
[11:29] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: synaptic doesn't show anything like "mount.cifs", either installed or not installed
[11:29] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, type in "which mount.cifs"
[11:30] <student> Is there a package or ubuntu distribution that uses touch screen?
[11:30] <student> Like using a touchscreen on karmic
[11:30] <jenda> When I select cells in openoffice calc to copy, they are surrounded by a moving dotted line. This dotted line alone takes up huge CPU power. Is there a way to turn that off or fix it?
[11:30] <terry__> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zDY5QYE8 ta_bu_shi_da_yu
[11:31] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: "antoni@antoni:/$ which mount.cifs" || "antoni@antoni:/$", i.e. no message. also smbmount is not known to synaptic, either
[11:31] <student> Any way to get my touch screen to work on karmic?
[11:32] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak - you need to install smbfs
[11:32] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> sudo apt-get install smbfs
[11:32] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> try it again after that
[11:33] <jenda> Also, another calc question - I am working with a timesheet where most days in a month have one row, but some have none and some have several. Is there a way for me to avoid having to enter dates manually? Ideally something that allows me to enter the previous date +1 whenever I enter a new row, with a simple way of negating the +1 if need be.
[11:33] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> terry__, X is working fine... which figures
[11:33] <terry__> Should it be the Xorg.0.log or the Xorg.1.log which would show the last boot?
[11:33] <brorjonas> X/j #unix
[11:33] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> what happens if you create another user, then try to login as that user via a gnome session?
[11:33] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: now: "/sbin/mount.cifs", what next?
[11:34] <brorjonas> ops
[11:34] <baskak> :)
[11:34] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, try to mount as normal
[11:34] <terry__> I'll try it
[11:34] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: you mean the same way through fstab?
[11:34] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> that's right
[11:35] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> you can't mount cifs without smbfs
[11:35] <k0sh> is there a way to enable smooth wallpaper transition/fade between gdm-wallpaper and user-wallpaper on login?
[11:36] <Bridge|_> netburst.org:3062
[11:37] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu:  "mount error: could not resolve address for s10: No address associated with hostname" || "No ip address specified and hostname not found", back to mismatch, it seems
[11:38] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> OK, can you resolve the hostname s10?
[11:39] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, can you copy the output of fstab into pastebin?
[11:39] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: it is available through "network" place as usual
[11:40] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: the output? is fstab a command? or the contens?
[11:40] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> sorry, the contents of fstab
[11:41] <ndevastator> can any1 give me a little assist... i have installed the php5-mysql and it still seems unable to find the extension... i have restarted apache and also tried uninstalling and reinstalling
[11:41] <k0sh> is there a way to enable smooth wallpaper transition/fade between gdm-wallpaper and user-wallpaper on login?
[11:42] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: here it is: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/zuzBaN5G
[11:43] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, try running "nmblookup s10"
[11:43] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> what does it give you (pastebin please!)
[11:44] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: there's an ip as output, but it's dynamic...
[11:44] <Niglop> how do i install a new font?
[11:46] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> that's odd...
[11:47] <terry__> ta_bu_shi_da_yu, Gnome did not freeze when I am another user. Just when I am the default user in Ubuntu
[11:47] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: i mean, i don't want to put the ip in fstab, since it can change. also, actually permanently mounting windows shares is a side issue, would be good to have, of course. the main problem is to access ubuntu shares from win xp
[11:47] <ndevastator> does any1 know whether i would edit the php.ini inside the apache2 folder or the one inside the php5 folder ?
[11:47] <Niglop> what is the command to add a new font path?
[11:48] <k0sh> is there a way to enable smooth wallpaper transition/fade between gdm-wallpaper and user-wallpaper on login?
[11:48] <Niglop> dw
[11:49] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak I think there might be some sort of resolv order that it's having problems with
[11:50] <JoeMaverickSett> how do i restart the X server?
[11:52] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: that's far beyond my knowledge, i believe. also my time's running out, so thanks for your help! are there any gui tools for these problems?
[11:53] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak - one moment
[11:54] <ndevastator> whats the default user/pass for mysql ?
[11:54] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: yes, sir :)
[11:54] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, it's doing a regular resolve - it's not using nmb
[11:54] <saulus_> hi, since yesterday the networkmanager does not show up wlan anymore. 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' gives 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132'. Any ideas?
[11:54] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> you might want to consider using smbmount instead
[11:54] <terry__> I guess this must be my problem?
[11:55] <terry__> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes
[11:55] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> I think there are ways around it
[11:55] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: actually i don't really understand what's the difference, and how do i change from one to another
[11:56] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> mount uses a helper program to do this for you and can use the fstab file
[11:56] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> whereas with smbmount you can mount the smb share, but with the smb userspace program
[11:57] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> try:
[11:58] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> smbmount //s10/pliki /media/s10 -o username=xxx, password=xxx,rw

[11:58] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> actually... that's guest you are using
[11:59] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> in that case:
[11:59] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, use "smbmount //s10/pliki /media/s10 -o rw

[12:02] <k0sh> blitzo: it shouldnt given the username is exactly the same
[12:02] <thune3> k0sh: i tried increasing the time in this gconf key, it sort-of seems to do something like what you are asking for (but badly for me on 9.10) /apps/compiz/plugins/splash/allscreens/options/fade_time
[12:02] <k0sh> blitzo: and in one distro home user dir is symlinked to other distro home
[12:03] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> baskak, when you ran that nmb command, what did you get back?
[12:03] <blitzo> k0sh, yeah i figgered that
[12:03] <k0sh> thune3: thx, will check it
[12:05] <baskak> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/Y8pPiV3E
[12:06] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> in that case, run:
[12:06] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> smbmount //s10/pliki /media/s10/ -o ip=`nmblookup S10 | grep 'S10<00>' | cut -d' ' -f1`

[12:09] <madjoe> hi! can anyone help me to get my adobe-flash 10.1 working? when I go to Adobe's page to check my current version, it still says 10.0.45, even if I placed the most recent .so file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin dir
[12:10] <asunder> I have Ubuntu 10.04 (i386) and Windows 7 dual booted. I have four partitions in total: ext4 for Ubuntu, 3x ntfs for Windows, System Reserved and Storage.

I commented out the lines in /etc/fstab for the other two but when I reboot that simply removes them from the desktop but they can still be accessed (without a

[12:14] <Agnes_Leroy> Hi all!
[12:15] <Agnes_Leroy> Is there any reason I should get Ubuntu instead of Linux Mint
[12:15] <madjoe> c3l: but this is beta not included in synaptic yet
[12:15] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe - try running ldconfig
[12:15] <Agnes_Leroy> I heard it comes from Ubuntu itself.
[12:15] <Kwpolska> dohz: I'm not sure, show more
[12:16] <Taev> hey what package contains libkio.so.4 clamav detected malware in it and deleted it
[12:16] <Taev> and now my system is messed up
[12:16] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: sudo ldconfig outputs nothing?!
[12:17] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> ldconfig -v
[12:17] <c3l> madjoe: oh, do you really need beta flash? did you download the source or what? if you ge a .deb file (easiest way) just double klick it and let aptitude handle it, it can install local files
[12:17] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: ok, a huge list of files
[12:17] <Taev> nm its kdelibs4c2a
[12:18] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> good - now try using firefox
[12:18] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> beat me to it :-)
[12:18] <madjoe> c3l: yes I do need that, since a stable version is useless for some flash apps... I downloaded the .so file, yes
[12:18] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe - the libraries may not have been reloaded, try now - what happens?
[12:18] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: just a sec
[12:19] <Kwpolska> w 17
[12:20] <c3l> madjoe: but you said yo moved files manually, dont :P
[12:21] <c3l> aptitude will get confused
[12:21] <chrissharp123> Agnes_Leroy: it's a matter of preference, but this channel supports Ubuntu, so people here are probably going to recommend Ubuntu
[12:21] <chrissharp123> Agnes_Leroy: Mint is based on Ubuntu, but the projects are not related otherwise
[12:21] <madjoe> c3l: I just followed an online tutorial... removed the old .so file and replaced it with the one I downloaded
[12:21] <Agnes_Leroy> chrissharp123, ah! right
[12:21] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe, how did it go?
[12:22] <sham_> any one available to help a newb with graphic problem?
[12:22] <c3l> madjoe: aha, I see. well I have no experience with manually installing flash, sorry
[12:23] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: now I can't load any flash in mozilla firefox :(
[12:23] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe, what happens?
[12:23] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> sham_, don't ask to ask, just ask :-)
[12:23] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: nothing... a white empty space shows in the area where I should see flash
[12:23] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
[12:23] <frimend> I can't remove a directory.
[12:24] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe, can you restore the old .so file?
[12:24] <frimend> "sudo rm -rf directory" yields "rm: cannot remove 'xxx': Input/output error
[12:24] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: yes I can
[12:24] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> restore it, then try putting it into your local profile
[12:24] <sham_> ok, geting blank screen when i boot to default, have to use recovery mode and low graphics every boot
[12:25] <TuxSax> frimend: what directory are you trying to remove?
[12:25] <sham_> not sure where to turn
[12:25] <Monkey_Dust> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: ha e you tried sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree ?
[12:25] <baskak>  ta_bu_shi_da_yu: sorry for delay, telephone calls. it asks for password, i don't think there's any, and whatever i input there's "operation not permitted"
[12:25] <sham_> acer travelmete c110
[12:25] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> Monkey_Dust, nope, never needed to :-)
[12:25] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: I restored it and now I can see my old version of flash... 10.0.45
[12:26] <Monkey_Dust> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: it seems you need it now
[12:26] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: probably it was a 32-bit version of .so file I downloaded
[12:26] <madjoe> and I need a 64-bit version... but I doubt there's any available yet
[12:26] <frimend> TuxSax: some old trash I have saved. I think it's some windows log file or such.
[12:26] <sham_> system ran fine under 8.04, problem started with 10.04
[12:27] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> Monkey_Dust, why's that? I'm not having the problem, madjoe is
[12:28] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: should I download an APT for Ubuntu 9.04+ instead? http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[12:28] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe, try installing to the ~/.mozilla/plugins folder
[12:28] <Monkey_Dust> madjoe: have you tried sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree ?
[12:29] <TuxSax> frimend: where exactly is that placed? the full path
[12:29] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> you might have to create the plugins folder first
[12:30] <madjoe> Monkey_Dust: no I didn't
[12:30] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe, not sure how well the deb will work
[12:30] <Monkey_Dust> madjoe: that did the trick for me
[12:30] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe, try creating the folder .mozilla/plugins
[12:30] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> then copy the .so file there
[12:30] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> what happens then?
[12:31] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: I already have a fodler plugins and I placed the new .so file there - no luck
[12:31] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> do you see it in about:plugins
[12:31] <Monkey_Dust> madjoe, try installing flashplugin-nonfree
[12:32] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe, are you running x64?
[12:32] <madjoe> Monkey_Dust: what's the difference with sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer ?
[12:32] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: yes I do
[12:33] <Monkey_Dust> madjoe: dunno, but it works
[12:33] <madjoe> Monkey_Dust: did you try flashplugin-installer before and it didn't work?
[12:33] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> ah... there you go then
[12:34] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe, the 32 bit version won't work then :(
[12:34] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: but I think there's not a x64 .so file available yet
[12:34] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> and Adobe have temporarily suspended the 64-bit plugin
[12:34] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/releasenotes_64bit.html
[12:34] <Monkey_Dust> madjoe: never tried flashplugin-installer, i tried the other
[12:34] <wolfric> are the multiple versions of linux kernel that are added to boot screen, previous kernels that have been replaced? where does ubuntu store the old versions and how can i remove them?
[12:34] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: yes, that's it then
[12:34] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> wolfric, I think there is a cleanup program
[12:34] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: so what's the alternative?
[12:35] <coz_> wolfric,  I am not up on grub2  configuration however... you could go to the #grub channel  and ask :)
[12:35] <wolfric> cheers... is there any reason why i'd need them?
[12:36] <wolfric> coz_ i'm not just looking to delete the entries but actually delete the old kernel version
[12:36] <callipygous> Hi, for no apparant reason, when I booted up this machine, it now says "Networking Disabled" up the top...
[12:36] <coz_> wolfric,  well you could try  sudo apt-get autoremove to see if the older kernels are removed
[12:36] <callipygous> ...I booted off the install cd and networking worked, but booting off the hard drive it says "disabled"
[12:36] <Monkey_Dust> madjoe: what keeps you from flashplugin-nonfree ?
[12:36] <callipygous> any clues?
[12:36] <madjoe> Monkey_Dust: I'm on it :)
[12:37] <thune3> wolfric: good to have one previous "known good kernel" in addition to the latest. just in case
[12:37] <madjoe> Monkey_Dust: should I remove something first?
[12:37] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> madjoe, try installing gnash
[12:37] <madjoe> Monkey_Dust: I'm only worried to have multiple versions installed
[12:37] <madjoe> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: what's gnash?
[12:37] <frimend> TuxSax: It's a very long path.
[12:37] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> a free version of flash
[12:37] <chrissharp123> madjoe: the 'flashplugin-nonfree-installer' is part of the 'flashplugin-nonfree' package - you should install 'flashplugin-nonfree'
[12:37] <TuxSax> heheh, start from the beginning.
[12:37] <wolfric> @thune3@coz_ thanks guys
[12:38] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> chrissharp123, will that work? he's using a 64-bit platform
[12:38] <chrissharp123> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: it has worked for me on 64-bit
[12:38] <madjoe> chrissharp123: I don't have it installed in my Synaptic... but my flash works in chrome and Firefox... should I remove the previous version and how?
[12:39] <chrissharp123> madjoe: don't mess with what works! ;-)
[12:39] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> chrissharp123, cool :-)
[12:39]  * ta_bu_shi_da_yu agrees with chrissharp123!
[12:39] <duffydack> 64bit flash is still available but with some security bug,
[12:39] <coz_> madjoe,  dont remove flash if it is working....did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[12:40] <madjoe> coz_: I should.. the old version is not working well with some flash apps
[12:40] <TuxSax> frimend: get into that path, one level higher than what you want to remove, then try first to get root permissions with "sudo -i"
[12:40] <coz_> madjoe,   oh I see... ok how did you install this flash?
[12:40] <madjoe> coz_: I forgot :)
[12:40] <coz_> madjoe,  oooo
[12:40] <TuxSax> frimend: if your dir is /path/to/dir, get to /path/to/
[12:41] <coz_> madjoe,  ok open synaptic pacakge manager   Hit the Search button and type in  flash   see which package is installed
[12:41] <madjoe> coz_: I think manually
[12:41] <TuxSax> frimend: then sudo -i, supply your password and when in root shell try rm -rf dir/
[12:41] <madjoe> coz_: I don't see any flash* package installed through Synaptic.. and I have ubuntu-restricted-extras enabled in Synaptic
[12:41] <coz_> madjoe,  oh ok... well all you really needed to do is   sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[12:41] <TuxSax> frimend: perhaps you don't have space available on the drive
[12:42] <coz_> madjoe,  ok then ubuntu restricted extras includes adobe flash
[12:42] <coz_> madjoe,  the big problem with the extras is it also installs  icedtea / open java
[12:42] <madjoe> coz_: oh that's how I have it installed!
[12:42] <duffydack> flashplugin-installer is what ubuntu-restricted-extras installs
[12:42] <coz_> madjoe,  right that would install flash for you
[12:42] <frimend> doesn't work. No differance.
[12:43] <frimend> Should be plenty of room on the disk.
[12:43] <frimend> And besides, I only want to remove something, should that require space? =)
[12:43] <coz_> madjoe,  exactly what is not working with this flash?
[12:43] <madjoe> duffydack: flashplugin-installer is disabled in my Synaptic
[12:43] <frimend> I'll try to work around the problem.
[12:43] <coz_> madjoe,  disabled or  marked?
[12:43] <TuxSax> frimend: sometimes when the disk is totally full you can't delete anything because even for deleting you need to swap some data
[12:44] <madjoe> coz_: ehm... now sit down, please... errr... when I go to my Zynga poker, I can't play.. I know, I know... *blushing*
[12:44] <justakill> hey does anyone know Debian?
[12:44] <coz_> madjoe,  no problem :)
[12:44] <madjoe> coz_: not marked
[12:44] <coz_> madjoe,  let me try it here hold on
[12:44] <TuxSax> justakill: yes, the gusy at #debian
[12:44] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> frimend, are you sure nothing is using the file?
[12:44] <madjoe> coz_: and btw, I'm still on Karmic
[12:44] <SauLus> my mouse does not work anymore. When I remove .gconf it does. So what could it be?
[12:45] <TuxSax> justakill: try / join #debian
[12:45] <justakill> thanks
[12:45] <coz_> madjoe,  ah i see... I dont think that should make much difference  even with karmic
[12:45] <SauLus> no, this was wrong. again:
[12:45] <JoeMaverickSett> how do i restart the X server?
[12:45] <frimend> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: no, but I don't know what could possibly be using it. =)
[12:45] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> you can find out
[12:45] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> run lsof | less
[12:45] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> what's the file name again?
[12:46] <duffydack> just install flashplugin-installer , thats all there is to do...
[12:46] <coz_> madjoe,  ok I cant get into that without having facebook logon
[12:46] <madjoe> coz_: to be more precise - I could run the application, but I can't see a list of tables and I can't join my friends, so the application kinda works, but not with all the features presented as it should
[12:46] <rapchee> hi
[12:46] <SauLus> my touchpad does not work anymore. an external mouse does. But when I remove .gconf the touchpad does work. So what could it be? any ideas?
[12:46] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> frimend, what was the directory again?
[12:46] <usf> hi,i installed lamp-server but i cant access to phpmyadmin,someone help please
[12:46] <madjoe> coz_: and I've seen lots of other ppl have the same issue: http://www.icemanblogger.com/2010/05/enabling-zynga-poker-table-list-and.html
[12:47] <TuxSax> frimend: as ta_bu_shi_da_yu said, use lsof, you can try lsof | grep filename
[12:47] <Blackheart> can anybody how does axel work it  isnt workin with anylink it just opens some weird terminal
[12:47] <rapchee> is it only me or the 10.46 stores screen resolution information in a new way? i have a too low refresh rate and i wanted to change xorg.conf but it wasn't in /etx/x11
[12:47] <coz_> madjoe, ok and did you try that solution on that link?
[12:47] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> SauLus, there's probably a gconf setting
[12:48] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> I think it's touchpad_enabled
[12:48] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> let me check
[12:48] <madjoe> coz_: scroll down to the bottom of the page... "Update"
[12:48] <dinosaurvskitten> is there a way to get some kind of prompt when I plug in an external hard drive so that I count mount it through truecrypt without having to go through the command line to figure which /dev/sd* it is and then manually mounting?
[12:48] <ubuntu-usr> hi all
[12:48] <dinosaurvskitten> I could*
[12:48] <madjoe> coz_: so I'm just worried if I should manually remove an existing flash version for my browsers..
[12:48] <callipygous> why does my ubuntu say "networking disabled" ?
[12:48] <duffydack> dinosaurvskitten, install cryptsetup
[12:48] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> SauLus, go into gconf-editor
[12:49] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> then browse to /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/
[12:49] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> SauLus, there's a key there - touchpad_enabled
[12:49] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> put a tick in it
[12:49] <callipygous> what does it mean by "networking disabled"?
[12:49] <coz_> madjoe,  ok so if you uninstall what you have and download from adobe and follow those instructons ... it sayd it is solved  for you poker player guys :)
[12:49] <madjoe> coz_: that "newest" flash player supports only x32 version platforms
[12:49] <callipygous> why would it be disabled if I hadn't disabled it?
[12:49] <ubuntu-usr> about dd command: when count parameter have any meaning? it is unnecessary to use it when mbr is restored?
[12:49] <coz_> madjoe,  oh i see
[12:49] <duffydack> If you are aware of the security flaw and wanna use a slightly old 64bit flash, https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/+archive/flash
[12:49] <dinosaurvskitten> duffydack, does that even support truecrypt?
[12:50] <dinosaurvskitten> duffydack, doesn't seem to be the case
[12:50] <duffydack> dinosaurvskitten, now you mention it, idk
[12:50] <coz_> madjoe,  then I am at a loss  for another solution
[12:50] <madjoe> coz_: I still didn't try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer - should I remove that ubuntu extras first?
[12:50] <duffydack> dinosaurvskitten, thats what I used to setup my usb sticks encryption anyway...
[12:50] <coz_> madjoe,  no because it is the same falsh installer
[12:50] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> SauLus, does that solve your issue?
[12:51] <madjoe> coz_: so there's no help for me to waste my time I guess :)
[12:51] <SauLus> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: ty for your fast answer, i can try it in 5 minutes
[12:51] <coz_> madjoe,   well unless you google more about adobe flash 10 64 bit
[12:51] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> SauLus, no probs :-)
[12:51] <madjoe> coz_: ok, thanks dude

[12:58] <disappearedng> Hey if xorg.conf is deprecated, how does this solution work for Lucid Lynx? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaLaptopBinaryDriverSuspend
[12:58] <Shinydan> My CD-Rom drive isn't showing up in Places, and isn't reading data or music CDs. It's viewable in Disc Utility, though, and I have authorisation to use it. What next?
[12:58] <NeverCast> duffydack, Sorry?
[12:58] <NeverCast> duffydack, Is that the name of the 'feature' ?
[12:58] <duffydack> NeverCast, in ccsm, desktop wall plugin, enable it
[12:58] <Blackheart> axel isnt workin
[12:58] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> Blackheart, try DownTheMall
[12:58] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201/
[12:59] <Blackheart> it just brings me empty terminal
[12:59] <SauLus> cool. Thats it ta_bu_shi_da_yu. Now it works. Many thanks. I wonder why it turned off.
[12:59] <disappearedng> there isn't xorg the conf any more right? So how do I generate one?
[12:59] <coz_> Blackheart,  did you install the frontend for that??  sudo apt-get install axel-kapt
[12:59] <duffydack> NeverCast, are you using cube or wall?
[12:59] <NeverCast> duffydack, well Wall I guess
[12:59] <NeverCast> duffydack, It doesn't roll like a cube
[12:59] <NeverCast> duffydack, Slides (:
[12:59] <Blackheart> when i give it some url
[12:59] <duffydack> NeverCast, its in the desktop wall plugin settings then..
[12:59] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> SauLus, good stuff :-) actually, I just realized I can remove click-tap
[12:59] <rapchee> hi i need help with forcing a higher refresh rate in 10.04
[13:00] <duffydack> NeverCast, under "edge flipping"
[13:00] <coz_> Blackheart,  ok did you look for firefox  download excelerators?
[13:00] <dinosaurvskitten> Does anything look wrong with this fstab entry? mount /media/audioplayer gives: 'mount: can't find /media/audioplayer in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab'. LABEL=IAUDIO /media/audioplayer/ vfat uid=1000,gid=1000,noatime,nls=utf8,sync,user  0 0
[13:00] <NeverCast> duffydack, Where are these settings?
[13:00] <thune3> disappearedng: elements defined in xorg.conf *are* used. parts that aren't defined are configured automatically. (think of it now as a way to define manual overrides)
[13:00] <duffydack> !ccsm | NeverCast
[13:00] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> dinosaurvskitten, can you add to pastebin?
[13:00] <dinosaurvskitten> ta_bu_shi_da_yu, sure, just a sec
[13:01] <coz_> NeverCast,   what are you trying to do again ?
[13:01] <NeverCast> coz_, flip on drag.
[13:01] <coz_> NeverCast,  ok hold on .... did you install compizconfig-settings-manager yet?
[13:01] <rapchee> i suppose i go buy a tft then
[13:01] <NeverCast> I would have thought ccsm would have already been installed, but I'll do that in terminal now.
[13:02] <coz_> NeverCast,  no ccsm is the same thing
[13:02] <dinosaurvskitten> ta_bu_shi_da_yu, http://pastebin.com/deDLRUE2
[13:02] <NeverCast> Which reminds me.. Can I make my terminal, *NOT* Purple.
[13:02] <dinosaurvskitten> ta_bu_shi_da_yu, (last line)
[13:02] <dinosaurvskitten> the device only has a label, no uuid
[13:02] <bareego> try aterm
[13:02] <SauLus> ta_bu_shi_da_yu: what does it mean or what do you mean? I think you are talking about the setting "Tap_to_click", which I dont use and dont want. On my device "touchpad_enabled" was false.
[13:03] <coz_> NeverCast,  and   ccsm is never installed by default especially on ubuntu for some weird reason
[13:03] <NeverCast> coz_, duffydack, installed.
[13:03] <coz_> NeverCast,  ok open that
[13:03] <NeverCast> yup
[13:03] <coz_> NeverCast,  then click on the  Desktop wall plugin
[13:03] <NeverCast> Oooh!
[13:03] <NeverCast> Settings :D
[13:03] <coz_> NeverCast,  :)
[13:04] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> SauLus, sorry, I was saying that I discovered that setting when I went into gconf-editor
[13:04] <coz_> NeverCast,  there you go ...all the settings you could ask for and some you didnt even think of :)
[13:04] <SauLus> ah, ok :)
[13:04] <NeverCast> coz_, Sexy!!
[13:04] <NeverCast> Woah so much STUFF
[13:05] <NeverCast> ... I should try Edge Flip Pointer for a week
[13:05] <NeverCast> see if I like it
[13:05] <NeverCast> Could be fun with a 3x3 wall
[13:05] <callipygous> anybody able to tell me why, all of a sudden, ubuntu says "networking disabled"?
[13:05] <coz_> NeverCast,  yes and if you ...later on...install the over 20 experimental plugins you will have even more settings :)
[13:05] <callipygous> I don't know how to re-enable it
[13:06] <gartral> how do i force refresh the network list in ubuntu?
[13:06] <duffydack> callipygous, sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[13:06] <callipygous> how do I even get the network going?
[13:07] <TuxSax> callipygous: what ubuntu version?
[13:07] <Xaifas> Is there any player with equalizer for ubuntu? i'm having a hard time finding one
[13:07] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> dinosaurvskitten, what happens if you type in "ls /dev/disk/by-label -lah | grep IAUDIO" ?

[13:09] <callipygous> well, I don't know
[13:09] <callipygous> what's happening is I can boot off the livecd and networking works, but not off the Harddrive
[13:10] <TuxSax> mmm, perhaps your networking isn't correctly set up on your HD installation
[13:10] <callipygous> TuxSax: nope :(

[13:15] <TuxSax> callipygous: open a terminal and type tail -f /var/log/messages , once you're watching that screen unplug and after a few seconds plug the adaptor again
[13:15] <TuxSax> copy the text it outputs and pastebin it
[13:15] <TuxSax> Ctrl+C to stop the tail command
[13:16] <callipygous> TuxSax: thanks, that's a good idea
[13:16] <callipygous> I'll do that in 5
[13:16] <TuxSax> 4
[13:16] <TuxSax> 3
[13:16] <TuxSax> 2
[13:16] <TuxSax> ;-)
[13:16] <FloodBot1> TuxSax: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:16] <TuxSax> LOLZ
[13:16] <TuxSax> I need coffee
[13:17] <dinosaurvskitten> ta_bu_shi_da_yu, ah found it - nls=utf8 isn't supported by vfat and mount's error messages are terrible
[13:17] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> dinosaurvskitten, try running "mount LABEL=IAUDIO"
[13:17] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> oh man
[13:17] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> that's an AWFUL error!
[13:17] <dinosaurvskitten> ta_bu_shi_da_yu, there was actually an appropriate error message but only in dmesg, sigh
[13:17] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> what was the error message is dmesg?
[13:17] <dinosaurvskitten> oh well, that's linux for you
[13:17] <dinosaurvskitten> [11610.081002] FAT: Unrecognized mount option "nls=utf8" or missing value
[13:18] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> bloody hell
[13:18] <manzoor> Hey
[13:18] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> that sounds like a bug to me
[13:18] <gartral> how do i force refresh the network list in ubuntu?
[13:18] <manzoor> How can I use WAN MINIPORT (PPTP) in Ubuntu?
[13:19] <manzoor> it uses the MS CHAP v2 authentication
[13:19] <dinosaurvskitten> still can't use the label though, I have to use /dev/sdc1
[13:19] <manzoor> in Windows, my ISP has given me a dialer which lets me connect to the VPN but how do I in Ubuntu? Any help?
[13:20] <gartral> manzoor: right click your nm-applet and edit connections, go to mbile broadband and follow that
[13:20] <gartral> manzoor: im not sure about that auth method though...
[13:22] <xrfang> how do I know my Xorg version? I am running kubuntu10.04. tks
[13:22] <manzoor> gartral: hmm... let me try
[13:22] <chrissharp123> !info pptp-linux | manzoor
[13:22] <TuxSax> manzoor: you could try to just set up a new pptp connection
[13:22] <manzoor> TuxSax: how do I do that?
[13:22] <chrissharp123> manzoor: it's command line but there may be a GUI frontend
[13:22] <TuxSax> manzoor: but you will need to install the support for it first
[13:22] <TuxSax> manzoor: so you can set it up via network manager
[13:23] <manzoor> TuxSax: how do I install it then?
[13:23] <gartral> manzoor: sudo apt-get install pptp-linux
[13:23] <manzoor> pptpclient.sourceforge.net/ seems outdated?
[13:23] <manzoor> are the pptpclient and pptp-linux same thing?
[13:24] <gartral> !APT | manzor
[13:24] <dinosaurvskitten> oh I'm retarded, you have to use /dev/disk/by-label/blah, not LABEL=blah
[13:24] <NeverCast> Lol
[13:24] <NeverCast> I have KPacketKit in gnome.. Unknown to me, Why.
[13:24] <gartral> manzoor: use apt to install things, not stuff you find on the internet, unless you have too
[13:24] <TuxSax> manzoor: sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp pptp-linux pptpd
[13:24] <NeverCast> *Package
[13:24] <chrissharp123> manzoor: they are the same thing: http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/howto-ubuntu.phtml
[13:25] <chrissharp123> manzoor: those instructions are older, but they are probably valid
[13:25] <manzoor> alrite thanks, one more thing what information do I need from ISP to get connected?
[13:25] <callipygous> well I didn't get much from /var/log/messages TuxSax
[13:25] <thune3> Shinydan: possible it is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/585444  ?
[13:26] <TuxSax> callipygous: nothing happens when you plug the belkin adapter?
[13:27] <callipygous> not much just a few inconsequentaial messages
[13:28] <Shinydan> thune3: don't think so. I'm going to try and reset fstab with pysdm and see if that works.
[13:29] <skumara> my laptop gets an error while loading and now running in low graphic mode. Acer 4520 and nvidiamgeforce 7000M
[13:29] <thune3> Shinydan: you have an entry for cdrom in fstab?
[13:29] <skumara> any help?
[13:30] <chrissharp123> skumara: what's the error you're getting?
[13:30] <Shinydan> thune3: yes: /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
[13:30] <dinosaurvskitten> is there a way to get a uuid or label for a hard drive that's been encrypted with truecrypt? blkid /dev/sdb1 gives nothing.
[13:30] <TuxSax> manzoor: you need the endpoint IP, user/password, and then you can follow this howto: http://www.tuvpn.com/tutoralcont.php?ln=en&id=108
[13:30] <thune3> Shinydan: if you are on modern ubuntu release, you should comment those out, you shouldn't need them.
[13:30] <dinosaurvskitten> all the symlinks in /dev/disk/by-* point to the /dev/mapper/truecrypt* devices, which are created only *after* having mounted them...
[13:30] <Shinydan> Just keep the UUID stuff?
[13:30] <skumara> chrissharp23 nvidia failed to load. ubuntu running in low graphic mode.
[13:31] <Ragnar> hey guys
[13:31] <thune3> Shinydan: i just mean comment out the *one* or *two* lines related to cdrom
[13:31] <Ragnar> gotta problem with dualboot
[13:31] <Shinydan> Done that, thune. Testing.
[13:31] <TuxSax> manzoor: but I think in your case you want to remove the point-to-point encryption (MPPE) and on the authentication methods select only the MS-CHAP-V2
[13:31] <Ragnar> windows is on h0,1, ubuntu is on h0,2
[13:32] <Ragnar> i resdtore grub2, cannot load windows
[13:32] <smackmanic> having probs with plop boot manager....anyone use it?
[13:32] <NeverCast> Torcs runs so much nicer on 10.04
[13:32] <TuxSax> manzoor: and leave all the rest on its defaults
[13:32] <callipygous> any reason why nm-applet would say "Networking disabled" and ifconfig only show lo as being up?
[13:32] <Shinydan> Thune3: Still can't see the music CD I just put in
[13:32] <NeverCast> than 9.10
[13:32] <TuxSax> callipygous: it seems your PC isn't seeing your network adapter right now
[13:32] <Ragnar> restore bootloader no ubuntu
[13:32] <Ragnar> help
[13:32] <TuxSax> callipygous: is it USB?
[13:32] <callipygous> it sees it TuxSax
[13:32] <callipygous> pcmcia
[13:33] <smackmanic> essentially, my bios doesnt support usb boot. and i can ONLY reinstall ubuntu via liveusb. i'm dying over here
[13:33] <manzoor> TuxSax: thanks... I'll try this out and get back here
[13:33] <gartral> smackmanic: not possible to borrow someone's usb cdrom?
[13:33] <TuxSax> callipygous: the messages from the log, can you tell me about them?
[13:34] <pk__> i downloaded dirac source code  and finally have a directory  /home/pk/dirac-0.10.0   ...can someone please tell me how do i apply this patch on the source?http://tongari.at/symbian/ffmpeg/dirac-0.10.0.patch
[13:34] <smackmanic> gartral: it'll be a while before I can borrow or buy any blank cds or anything like that, at least a few weeks
[13:34] <smackmanic> (middle of nowhere and doing some things)
[13:34] <callipygous> just says rtl8180 PCI INT A LINK IRQ 11
[13:34] <callipygous> phy hwaddr blah RL8185vD + rtl8225z2
[13:34] <callipygous> and a bunch of numbers in between that I couldn't be bothered typing out
[13:35] <smackmanic> it's starting to get a bit frustrating...was updating ubuntu and the kernel got garbaged. it's not workable right now, so I need to go in and fix everything with the liveusb
[13:35] <smackmanic> it's been 4 days now
[13:35] <skumara> anyone can help fix, ubuntu running in low graphic mode?
[13:35] <masia> hola a todos
[13:35] <gartral> smackmanic: what kind of comp?
[13:36] <smackmanic> gartral: old. dell dimension 8200 desktop
[13:36] <smackmanic> gartral: have been trying to install plop boot manager which would allow to be boot from usb...having a big issue with it getting installed.
[13:36] <duffydack> smackmanic, is your previous kernel not in the menu ?
[13:36] <gartral> smackmanic: check to see if a later BIOS addresses the issue? (i know, it's a Dell... Good Luck!)
[13:37] <masia> hola sabais como instalar mi webcam en bt4
[13:37] <smackmanic> gartral: pretty scared to update BIOS haha... you know?
[13:37] <smackmanic> duffydack: they're both broken beyond what I can do with tem
[13:37] <smackmanic> *them
[13:37] <gartral> smackmanic: sometimes the risk is worth it for the fix it brings
[13:38] <smackmanic> gartral: very true. worried i'm going to fry this comp though...and won't have access to anything for a few weeks
[13:38] <Ragnar> cmon guys
[13:38] <Ragnar> any help\
[13:38] <gartral> Ragnar: what's up?
[13:39] <Ragnar> gartral: gotta problem dualbooting windows
[13:39] <Ragnar> gartral: i restore grub and it's gone, only the listing
[13:40] <duffydack> Ragnar, update-grub
[13:40] <Ragnar> no help
[13:40] <Ragnar> nothing
[13:40] <duffydack> Ragnar, doesnt find the windows install?
[13:40] <TuxSax> callipygous: I've been searching for some info on that and I've found a place where it says the card "goes to sleep" until you do the command ifconfig up .*
[13:40] <gartral> Ragnar: are you SURE you didnt select "use entire disk" at install?
[13:40] <slaman> Could someone help me install this: http://intellinuxgraphics.org/2010Q2.html
[13:41] <slaman> the one in the repos is old.
[13:41] <Ragnar> of course
[13:41] <th1> hi, I have an eee 1000he netbook with intel graphics and 1024x600 display. in Win XP it has 1024x768 mode where the gfx card compresses the image, is this possible to do in ubuntu and how? it's very useful for apps that need more space..
[13:42] <Ragnar> grub overwrites mbr
[13:42] <stefandebacker> I use ubuntu unr on my eeepc works perfect
[13:43] <callipygous> well TuxSax, I'm missing /etc/modprobe.d/aliases :S
[13:43] <duffydack> Ragnar, not in a way that stops windows loading.
[13:43] <masia> hi how to install my webcam on bt4
[13:43] <masia> plees
[13:43] <callipygous> I don't know what was in there, but I think it might be needed to bring up the interface
[13:43] <callipygous> I'll try rebooting on to the live cd and copying that file across :/
[13:43] <terry__> Cant see the trash on the lower right side of the screen! Please help I have to empty it!
[13:43] <livingdaylight> ikonia, are you helping lots of people still?
[13:43] <duffydack> terry_, use file manager
[13:44] <gartral> masia: this is #ubuntu not #backtrack
[13:44]  * smackmanic hangs himself
[13:44] <TuxSax> callipygous: the modprobe.d/aliases is the startup kernel modules that are loaded at boot
[13:44] <terry__> How?
[13:44] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> ragnar, hold on a second
[13:44] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> ragnar, you can restore this
[13:44] <callipygous> yes, so drivers aren't being loaded, it would seem :/
[13:44] <TuxSax> callipygous: if your adapter needs a module you don't need to reboot, we can fix it
[13:45] <Monkey_Dust> terry__: right click on the task bar, Add to panel, Trash
[13:45] <duffydack> terry_, nautilus
[13:45] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> can you copy /etc/grub/menu.list to pastebin?
[13:45] <TuxSax> let me find the exact module you need
[13:45] <callipygous> too late, rebooted
[13:45] <callipygous> but sure, go ahead
[13:45] <slaman> terry_: right click where it used to be and press add to panel
[13:45] <slaman> then find it on the list and add it again.
[13:46] <slaman> right click it and "Lock to panel"
[13:46]  * duffydack said the module might not be loaded 2 hours ago lolz
[13:46] <TuxSax> callipygous: for now try modprobe rtl8180 or modprobe rtl8187
[13:46] <TuxSax> callipygous: and see if the network goes up
[13:46] <wolfric> aptitude can't seem to find 3ddesktop. Anyone know how i can get either that package or an alternative 3d desktop program
[13:46] <TuxSax> callipygous: or if the NIC is detected now, then ifconfig wlan0 up may restore your networking
[13:46] <wolfric> ubuntu 10.04
[13:46] <callipygous> TuxSax: tried that
[13:46] <duffydack> smackmanic, there are guides out there to boot iso with grub, if you can get the iso on the hd...maybe hook it up to another machine etc...
[13:47] <TuxSax> callipygous: and?
[13:47] <smackmanic> duffydack: boot the iso on another partition even?
[13:47] <callipygous> nothing
[13:48] <callipygous> it brought up wlan0 but nothing resolved
[13:48] <TuxSax> callipygous: did you test with iwconfig to see if it sees the card ?
[13:48] <duffydack> smackmanic, yes
[13:48] <smackmanic> duffydack: will def look that up
[13:49] <duffydack> smackmanic, I use that method for clonezilla.
[13:49] <duffydack> http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/livehd.php
[13:49] <TuxSax> callipygous: what does cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf contains? check that there is no rtrtl8180 blacklisted there...
[13:50] <duffydack> the iso method below.
[13:51] <callipygous> okay
[13:51] <callipygous> give me one sec to boot
[13:51] <TuxSax> callipygous: and add a line for rt8180 on /etc/modules so it loads at boot, then try to reboot and see what happens
[13:51] <callipygous> just give me a sec TuxSax
[13:51] <TuxSax> callipygous: no prob
[13:51] <callipygous> I think you're barking up the wrong tree, hold on
[13:52] <g0tcha> hey guys, does ubuntu have a Desktop streaming program? for webbrowsers
[13:52] <TuxSax> callipygous: LOL, at least I'm trying to bark at something...
[13:52] <callipygous> true
[13:54] <evilgeenius> I have just installed Xubuntu, but how can I change the boot menu so that windows is the default OS on startup?
[13:54] <callipygous> TuxSax: just did an lsmod and rtl8180 shows up :)
[13:54] <callipygous> so it's not that :/
[13:54] <cenciu> who can find out for me which is the audio driver for an hp pavilion ze5400 .please
[13:54] <TuxSax> callipygous: and iwconfig shows your card?
[13:54] <callipygous> yes
[13:55] <callipygous> shows it as not-associated
[13:55] <duffydack> callipygous, you have more than 1 kernel to boot from ?
[13:55] <callipygous> duffydack: no
[13:55] <duffydack> k, nvm
[13:55] <cenciu> can anyone help me to find out what audio driver has hp pavilion ze5400 ?
[13:56] <duffydack> cenciu, lspci -vv | grep Audio
[13:56] <cenciu> duffydack: i don't have linux on it. this is the problem. please help me to find out. i tried on google, but nothing
[13:57] <duffydack> cenciu, well look under windows device manager then
[13:58] <duffydack> callipygous, have you tried using the interfaces file?
[13:58] <bareego> evilgeenius, you edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[13:58] <TuxSax> callipygous: it seems all is good with your hardware, you've been just D/C from the wireless lan
[13:58] <DarkNemesis> keyboard is broken so excuse missing etters: wat is MPS contro or OS?
[13:58] <callipygous> maybe I should set the wireless lan up properly in wpa_supplicant.conf?
[13:58] <titus> *
[13:58] <callipygous> rather than using the nm-applet?
[13:59] <callipygous> duffydack: interfaces file?
[13:59] <duffydack> http://pastebin.org/438456   thats mine, for my wpa2 config
[13:59] <callipygous> sorry, I'm not really up to speed with ubuntu yet
[13:59] <duffydack> I dont have to wait for NM to wake up on boot then :)
[13:59] <cenciu> duffydack: i did, but it doesn't tell me that. please... help
[13:59] <TuxSax> callipygous: try in command line to run ifconfig wlan0 up and then ifconfig wlan0 key xxxxxx
[14:00] <rgnr> ta_bu_shi_da_yu:  sec
[14:00] <duffydack> TuxSax, I think it needs the long hex version and not the plain ascii key... or not ?
[14:00] <smackmanic> duffydack: what do you think about maybe...running the iso in a virtual box or something inside windows...would I be able to properly format/clean out my old ubuntu and install this way do you think? or no...it seems like it would pose a prob (being inside windows) but im not sure
[14:00] <TuxSax> callipygous: what kind of wireless network do you have?
[14:00] <duffydack> TuxSax, well the interfaces file does
[14:01] <duffydack> wpa_passphrase <your_essid> <your_ascii_key>   = the long string to use in interfaces file.
[14:01] <thune3> evilgeenius: for grub2 what goes in /boot/grub/grub.cfg is from files in /etc/grub.d/ in order. if you "sudo mv /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober etc/grub.d/09_os-prober", whatever the top listing is from os_prober will be first in the list. There might be a better way.
[14:01] <callipygous> WPA
[14:01] <callipygous> seems wpa_supplicant.conf doesn't really exist in the same format that I'm used to :/
[14:01] <callipygous> it's some funky hal file
[14:02] <TuxSax> callipygous: that might be the problem then...
[14:02] <trichard> hey, I'm trying to share some files in a windows network. The sharing works, when i type in my IP address directly on a windows computer i can access my files. For some reason though, my computer doesn't show up in the workgroup when i try to browse computers
[14:03] <smackmanic> duffydack: I ask because booting an iso from grub is lookg sketchy. but im still looking into it
[14:03] <bareego> trichard, run WINS server on your linux machine
[14:03] <TuxSax> trichard: you're not a member of that workgroup
[14:03] <callipygous> what might be the problem?
[14:04] <TuxSax> trichard: edit the file /etc/samba/smb.conf and change the workgroup = WORKGROUP to match the desired workgroup
[14:04] <bareego> callipygous, I found it's good to keep the key simple
[14:04] <bareego> lower key
[14:04] <trichard> bareego: Will the network still work when my linux computer is not on?
[14:05] <bareego> sure
[14:05] <trichard> i mean, browsing computers
[14:05] <bareego> it'll do browser elections
[14:05] <trichard> ok, i thought netbios should have done the trick
[14:06] <bareego> normally winders computers without a designated wins server will do browser elections
[14:06] <duffydack> smackmanic, you mean use the hd as direct access in vbox?
[14:06] <trichard> TuxSay: i'm in the correct workgroup so that ain't the problem ;)
[14:06] <trichard> bareego: ok thanks, i'll try it out
[14:06] <Monkey_Dust> 'ain't'
[14:07] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> what happened to Ragnar?
[14:07] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> you still about?
[14:08] <ker> why sometimes Ubuntu blocks certain websites?
[14:08] <ker> now I can't access to art.gnome.org and google.com
[14:08] <smackmanic> duffydack: I guess...so much floating in my head...basically bro I need to format the partition (linux) and reinstall with the latest version..but i can't access nix because the kernels are effed... I have a liveusb ready, but my machine doesn't actually support booting from usb.... Plop looked promising but for the life of me cannot get it working
[14:08] <ker> everything else works fine
[14:08] <Ragnar> i'm here
[14:08] <oCean_> ker: it's certainly not ubuntu that does any blocking
[14:08] <smackmanic> ker: ubuntu isn't blocking sites...it'd be some sort of software you have installed
[14:09] <ker> it's strange because it happens only sometimes
[14:09] <ker> it's random ..
[14:09] <bareego> ker try the au. versions
[14:09] <eternaltyro> !seen roc
[14:09] <bareego> of ubuntu
[14:09] <bareego> they tend to work
[14:09] <eternaltyro> !seen yogeshg1987
[14:09] <andrewax> !ker have you squid installed?
[14:10] <duffydack> smackmanic, cd/dvd drive busted?
[14:10] <ker> andrewax, no proxies
[14:10] <ker> iptables is clean too
[14:10] <andrewax> !ker what message is showed?
[14:10] <smackmanic> duffydack: yep and floppy drive seems to be busted too
[14:10] <ker> andrewax, firefox and links get a timed out connection
[14:10] <ker> but I can ping the host
[14:10] <oCean_> andrewax: no need to start the line with '!'
[14:10] <smackmanic> duffydack: as you can see...I'm in a bad situation heh
[14:10] <ker> looks like some blocking on port 80 ?
[14:10] <andrewax> maybe your ISP
[14:11] <smackmanic> ker: think it's your connection
[14:11] <ker> no, because the laptop (windows XP) can access them fine
[14:11] <callipygous> hmm, still have no idea
[14:11] <bareego> ker I had similar problems yesterday
[14:11] <andrewax> ker, how you connect to Internet?
[14:11] <smackmanic> ker: that is strange...
[14:11] <ker> andrewax, I'm behind a router
[14:11] <ker> it goes away with a reboot
[14:11] <ker> but...it's strange :/
[14:11] <bareego> for ubuntu reps, try the au. version ones
[14:11] <xrfang> now running kubuntu 10.04, cannot get two finger scrolling on my touchpad, could anyone help please?
[14:12] <tibz> smackmanic: can't you make it to single user mode? by editing the boot line to contain the word "single"?
[14:12] <smackmanic> duffydack: been trying to figure it out for 4 days now. bleeeeh
[14:12] <andrewax> I bet what is a DNS problem
[14:12] <andrewax> try use OpenDNS
[14:12] <andrewax> or Google DNS
[14:12] <smackmanic> tibz: i can get into single user mode yeah, but it appears it broke both kernels. so I'm not sure what you're getting at
[14:12] <ker> I have the same DNS (google DNS) on all PCs
[14:12] <ker> just this one doesn't work
[14:13] <smackmanic> tibz: but I'm open to suggestions for sure
[14:13] <duffydack> smackmanic,  so this hd has windows and linux on
[14:13] <duffydack> smackmanic, and you can boot to windows.
[14:13] <andrewax> if router has DHCP enabled, maybe can be a misconfiguration in ip ranges
[14:13] <ker> no DHCP
[14:13] <tibz> smackmanic: perhaps in single user mode you can cp /mnt/usb/newkernel /boot/kernel
[14:14] <trichard> bareego: i've set wins support to yes and restarted smbd but that didn't seem to help
[14:14] <smackmanic> tibz: I can try...but it's been sketchy about mounting things... uhmm... lemme think
[14:14] <smackmanic> duffydack: yeah
[14:15] <callipygous> has anybody got any idea why, all of a sudden (after working flawlessly) it'd say "Networking disabled"?
[14:16] <duffydack> callipygous, think maybe its just plain dead?
[14:16] <callipygous> and nothing I seem to do gives me any option to reenable it
[14:16] <smackmanic> tibz: plus I'm not very good in the console. heh. so I'm not sure exactly how'd mount, e.g. I don't know what my usb would be listed as
[14:16] <callipygous> no it's not dead, it runs fine off the livecd
[14:16] <callipygous> it's something to do with the harddrive install
[14:17] <cba123> I'm doing "rsync --verbose --progress --recursive /home/cba123/foo/ /media/backup/foo" and it keeps copying the same files on top of themselves, not the differences. Any ideas?
[14:18] <duffydack> smackmanic, thinkin about some way using wubi.....
[14:18] <smackmanic> duffydack / tibz: right now googling for alternatives to Plop...if i can just get a boot manager that will have usb as an option...
[14:19] <callipygous> I noticed "networkenable=false" in
[14:19] <callipygous> /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
[14:19] <duffydack> smackmanic, I still think your best bet is to get the iso on another partition/drive and boot it with grub...
[14:20] <smackmanic> duffydack: I'm having trouble finding a decent guide
[14:22] <dinosaurvskitten> I don't have any sound in mplayer ever since I upgraded to lucid lynx. What gives? It seems to be fine in other programs.
[14:22] <alecs> hello
[14:22] <_ting_> hello
[14:22] <TheEskimo> !hi | alecs
[14:23] <_ting_> could anyone help me ?
[14:23] <dinosaurvskitten> hm, works fine if I use -ao alsa
[14:23] <TheEskimo> !help | _ting_
[14:23] <alecs> can anyone help me debugging why the startup disk creator can't load iso files ?
[14:23] <_ting_> I upgrade my ubuntu to 10.04, and now my nvidia hdmi audio is not working
[14:23] <dinosaurvskitten> guess that means pulse is broken
[14:23] <_ting_> I followed several solution provided in differents forums but not luck
[14:23] <TheEskimo> _ting_: have you tried reinstalling the official drivers?
[14:24] <_ting_> theEskimo yes
[14:25] <andre> any hint or article how to enable mp3 import in rhythmbox? gstream package is already installed for mp3 support.
[14:25] <TheEskimo> _ting_: I'm not sure I can help. I have an ati card and so very little experience with nvidia. I hope someone else can help you.
[14:25] <_ting_> Thanks TheEskimo
[14:25] <thune3> alecs: usb startup disk creator is for making a USB bootable (slightly changed) version of what's on the livecd
[14:25] <TheEskimo> andre: I'm surprised it doesnt import them already. Can you open an mp3 with it directly? (open the mp3 file. Choose to open with rythmbox)
[14:26] <alecs> thune3: then, how can i create from ubuntu a Win xp instalation usb disk ?
[14:26] <andre> TheEskimo, yupp. mp3s are playing nicely in rhythmbox
[14:26] <Jan0> Can anyone help me?
[14:26] <TheEskimo> !help | jan0
[14:27] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> dinosaurvskitten, I've logged a bug on your misleading error - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/util-linux/+bug/612249
[14:27] <Jan0> but its a big question
[14:27] <TheEskimo> andre: You might need the plugins too. Try getting gstreamer plugins (ugly)
[14:27] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> then it will be a long line!
[14:27] <Jan0> i need to upgrade my computer
[14:27] <TheEskimo> jan0: Type out the full question as best you can.
[14:27] <andre> TheEskimo, thanks for that hint, will give at try
[14:27] <thune3> alecs: i've see that asked here 10 times and never have seen an answer.
[14:27] <Jan0> and i need to know that the components i will buy, will fit
[14:27] <TheEskimo> andre: I hope that does help. I think it should.
[14:28] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> Jan0, you mean like hardware components?
[14:28] <Jan0> yes
[14:28] <inoh> hi, how do you disable certain updates from coming through on karmic?
[14:28] <dinosaurvskitten> ta_bu_shi_da_yu, neat thanks
[14:28] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> Jano0, are you looking for assistance on driver compatibility?
[14:28] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> dinosaurvskitten, no probs

[14:29] <duffydack> smackmanic, surely someone you know has an external cd drive or something :)
[14:29] <oCean_> Jan0: join ##hardware for hardware support, this is ubuntu support only
[14:29] <Jan0> but noone answers there:S
[14:30] <oCean_> inoh: this command: echo libc-bin hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections will "hold" libc-bin back for updates
[14:30] <smackmanic> duffydack: errr.. not exactly.....live in a  very veyr isolated area
[14:30] <TheEskimo> Jan0: I have pmed you. Continue there
[14:30] <aguitel> i installed with minimalcd ubuntu the gnome-core ,how manage usplash theme in startup and restart process ?
[14:30] <smackmanic> i think i may be one of the few with even a computer around here
[14:30] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> Jan0, no offense here, but if you don't get help there, posting to #ubuntu is probably not going to be any better!
[14:30] <Shinydan> thank you, my DVD drive now works and my CPU is better. Bloody cats.
[14:30] <tibz_> smackmanic: i know what you mean. i'm on dialup here (thus i timed out)
[14:31] <andre> TheEskimo, installed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly, no mp3 support at all. maybe i need a restart of gnome.
[14:31] <TheEskimo> andre: Try that
[14:31] <hotstew> sorry to ask, but is this channel on irc.ubuntu.com?
[14:31] <andre> no mp3-import support to be correctly
[14:31] <hotstew> Pidgin's IRC is a mess
[14:32] <padhu> which package to be installed to measure internet usage recording?
[14:32] <oCean_> hotstew: ubuntu channels are hosted at freenode.net
[14:32] <smackmanic> tibz_: such a headache
[14:33] <hotstew> but what server am I on now?
[14:33] <bareego> smack you still have fun with the same problem from last night ?
[14:33] <hotstew> is this Rizon?
[14:33] <thune3> inoh: there is pinning and holding for specific packages. The easiest is under "Introduction to Holding Packages" in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[14:33] <andrewax> i guess what this server is freenode
[14:33] <oCean_> hotstew: card.freenode.net
[14:33] <smackmanic> bareego: went more in depth with it....turns out i reaaaaaaaaaally just need to reformat and install
[14:33] <bareego> haha
[14:34] <oCean_> hotstew: further irc/freenode support in #freenode please
[14:34] <bullgard4> Chatzilla 2.0.6 interprets the input text line 'file://T43:/home/detlef/Dokumente/fremde/Bücher/sockets.pdf' rather dull, opens www.google.com/search and tells me: "Your search - file://T43:/home/detlef/Dokumente/fremde/Bücher/sockets.pdf - did not match any documents." Firefox 3.6.8 more intelligently opens the dialog window "Opening sockets.pdf" and finally opens this local document using...
[14:34] <bullgard4> ...Document Viewer. Why can Seamonkey not do this also?
[14:34] <smackmanic> bareego: which is fine by me. i want to get back into my effin OS! but always a prob..hah
[14:34] <hotstew> thx
[14:34] <FloodBot1> bullgard4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:34] <adac> j #openvz
[14:34] <bareego> smackmanic, I'm halfway through putting the data back onto a reinstall on the reborn server
[14:34] <hotstew> see, I have two IRC accounts and there is no way seperating them on Pidgin
[14:34] <smackmanic> bareego: having fun with that ? ...
[14:35] <smackmanic> hotstew: i use xchat personally
[14:35] <hotstew> I reinstalled Ubuntu yesterday and am superhappy :3
[14:35] <bareego> it's already running torrent client and encoding some h.264 while I copy data back, so yeah :O)
[14:35] <smackmanic> or did...when i had ubuntu working.. >_<
[14:35] <hotstew> guess I'll do that
[14:35] <aeon-ltd> hi
[14:35] <hotstew> I just like to have all my chat stuff in one program
[14:35] <inoh> thanks oCean_ and thune3, I don't want the lucid upgrade of any firefox upgrades
[14:35] <oCean_> padhu: there are tools like bmon ifstat ipband iptotal nload in the repositories
[14:35] <smackmanic> hotstew: me too, but pidgin/irc bugs me lol
[14:35] <inoh> *or any firefox upgrades
[14:35] <hotstew> back in a minute :3
[14:36] <padhu> oCean_: which one is nice one?
[14:36] <ta_bu_shi_da_yu> hey, do we have an X Window channel somewhere?
[14:37] <oCean_> padhu: really can't tell. It's up to your requirements. Doing some research on the net should give you information on those tools
[14:37] <bareego> bmon is nice
[14:37] <padhu> oCean_: okey, thanks
[14:37] <thune3> inoh: hmmm, that's one program certianly want up-to-date. Do you have an issue that might be better fixed some other way?
[14:37] <ker> fixed the website problem :)
[14:37] <tibz_> padhu: "saidar", or for detailed one try "iptraf" with text-gui
[14:37] <bareego> ker what was it ?
[14:38] <andrewax> ker wow! How did you?
[14:38] <ker> I just installed firestarter :)
[14:38] <airtonix> why
[14:38] <ker> I read that on a tutorial...
[14:38] <ker> http://www.ventanazul.com/webzine/articles/cannot-access-websites-ubuntu-gutsy-gibbon
[14:38] <bareego> but that's...firewall ?
[14:38] <ker> yes, it's a firewall...
[14:39] <andrewax> isn't Firestarter a gui for iptables?
[14:39] <bareego> yeah
[14:39] <padhu>  tibz_:  I need GUI
[14:39] <airtonix> ker, firestarter is a dead project with unfixed bugs that won't ever be fixed.
[14:39] <bareego> seems to have fixed ker's problem though
[14:39] <bareego> ironic, haha
[14:39] <ker> yeah, it worked for me :D
[14:39] <airtonix> ker, ufw and by extensions gufw are ones you want to focus on
[14:39] <andrewax> this is the important
[14:39] <duffydack> smackmanic, im getting my head around some sort of wubi install, boot to it, maybe then can access the drive to make some partitions, drop an iso on one, and something else.. head hurts
[14:40] <padhu> airtonix: then we have only gufw
[14:40] <ker> also, I installed dnsmasq for faster DNS resolution (caching)
[14:40] <airtonix> padhu, what's your point ?
[14:40] <andrewax> but would be useful to see ker's iptables configs
[14:40] <Friktion> i get Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[14:40] <Friktion> umount: only root can unmount /dev/sda2 from /media/sda2 when trying to unmount my drive, how come ?
[14:40] <andrewax> padhu: do your system haven't graphical interface?
[14:40] <duffydack> smackmanic, i take it recovery mode wont boot?
[14:40] <ker> andrewax, I had no config in iptables
[14:40] <padhu> airtonix: I just need to know total time and total bytes sent& received
[14:41] <andrewax> friktion: /etc/fstab
[14:41] <airtonix> padhu, ? there are other tools for that
[14:41] <nagendra> I have installed ubuntu 10.04. But whenever i install softwares, Its asks to mount ubuntu 9.10. Plz help
[14:41] <ker> brb!
[14:41] <hotstew> hoho I'm back
[14:41] <padhu> andrewax:  I have GUI
[14:41] <airtonix> ker, (running firestarter as root just to see network traffic bandwidth usages is a bad idea)
[14:41] <hotstew> I tried arch over virtualization today.
[14:41] <EugZol> nagendra: try going System -> Administration -> Software sources
[14:41] <Friktion> andrewax: im pretty new to linux, what am i supposed to do there ?
[14:41] <EugZol> and disabling cdrom as source
[14:41] <hotstew> But it seems like too much of a hassle.
[14:41] <andrewax> padhu and what is the problem?
[14:42] <dns53> Friktion perhaps another user is using it, use lsof to see who has what open
[14:42] <padhu> andrewax: I am preparing Customized DVD for an ubuntu workshop to New bees
[14:42] <bareego> hotstew, yeah... since I'm used to decent ubuntu packages I don't bother with some distros anymore that I used to fiddle with
[14:42] <oCean_> nagendra: have you updated? In that case the cdrom for 9.10 still might be in your sources file
[14:42] <andrewax> padhu WOW!
[14:42] <hotstew> anyway yesterday I found out that the best media player for Linux is XBMC ^^
[14:42] <Friktion> dns53: im the only used on this computer
[14:42] <bareego> hotstew, I use that on my xbox, hahah
[14:42] <dns53> Friktion where you the first account created on that computer?
[14:43] <Friktion> yes
[14:43] <andrewax> do someone here seen this ahead? http://www.trollaxor.com/2009/08/my-unsettling-ubuntu-experience.html
[14:43] <dns53> are you sharing the drive with samba or something?
[14:43] <hotstew> it plays 1080p mkvs without any stutter and displays and can hide all subtitles and languages
[14:43] <smackmanic> duffydack: don't worry about it...if it's hurting your head I won't be able to do it
[14:43] <hotstew> it's great for people like me
[14:43] <Friktion> hmm nope i dont think so
[14:43] <andrewax> it seens be a virus report in ubuntu
[14:43] <smackmanic> duffydack: going to post at the Plop forums and see if they can get that working for me..if so my USB will be bootable...
[14:43] <hotstew> I thought there was no windowed mode, but there is :3
[14:43] <hotstew> thanks to "\"
[14:43] <padhu> andrewax: nothing to excite, We formed ubuntu team and doing it to people
[14:44] <smackmanic> duffydack: but I appreciate you taking the time....always good to hash out ideas....
[14:44] <smackmanic> I'm gonna run...have a cig break...some coffee. hit a few walls.
[14:44] <smackmanic> take care everyone
[14:44] <oCean_> andrewax: no need to post such nonesense in this channel

[14:44] <andrewax> oCEAN I guesses interesting
[14:44] <bullgard4> ...Document Viewer. Why can Seamonkey not do this also?
[14:45] <FloodBot1> bullgard4: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:45] <duffydack> smackmanic, think maybe using portable ubuntu (ubuntu running as a program in windows) it might be able to mount the real ubuntu partitions and then maybe can chroot to it and install kernels.
[14:45] <Friktion> what should i do, seems to be more werid things happening like the button to get the list for shutdown, log out etc is gone
[14:45] <oCean_> andrewax: even if you think it is interesting, it is OFF topic. You're welcome to discussin #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:45] <c3l> hotstew: mplayer iz teh bezt
[14:45] <hotstew> lol I thought so
[14:45] <hotstew> but I can't configure it right I guess
[14:46] <smackmanic> duffydack: will look into that after I destress, that's a good idea though, will look into that + plop + suicide
[14:46] <smackmanic> take care mate
[14:46] <hotstew> XBMC just does everything out of the box
[14:46] <c3l> isnt it big and bloaty?
[14:46] <hotstew> also I like the thumbnails and stuff
[14:46] <duffydack> k
[14:46] <hotstew> it is a media center and not just a media player
[14:46] <c3l> aah you like the blingbling
[14:46] <hotstew> guess not everyone needs the same
[14:47] <Friktion> andrewa: do you want me to show you my fstab file ?
[14:47] <andrewax> well, let's see
[14:47] <hotstew> btw how do I see the users in the channel in xchat for gnome?
[14:47] <bareego> vls isn't too bad, either
[14:47] <bareego> vlc ^
[14:47] <Friktion> http://codepad.org/rMhgW0QC
[14:47] <andrewax> you said what only root can mount your device, right?
[14:47] <Friktion> yes
[14:48] <oCean_> hotstew: View > User list
[14:48] <Friktion> i can unmount it and mount it in terminal
[14:48] <Friktion> but
[14:48] <hotstew> on Windows I use the MPC+CoreAVC setup
[14:48] <c3l> hotstew: try /names, but I dont use xchat. you should see the users in the right panel
[14:48] <Friktion> i wonder why i cant do it like normally i could do it like 20 minutes ago -. -
[14:48] <hotstew> but maybe I should just use XBMC there as well
[14:49] <hotstew> oh, that thing is a button
[14:49] <hotstew> problem solved
[14:49] <andrewax> see if your user have permissions to mount device
[14:49] <inoh> thune3: Lucid doesn't get along with Nvidia and firefox was super slow last time I upgraded it
[14:49] <mrpinky> hello :D is it true that iPod touch does *not* appear as a standard removable drive? in which case, is it possible to copy files to/from iPod touch using ubuntu?
[14:50] <hotstew> iPod touch + iPhone ugh
[14:50] <hotstew> love the device, hate the restrictions
[14:50] <Friktion> how would i check that ?
[14:50] <hotstew> especially that bloatware called iTunes
[14:50] <hotstew> coupled with the fact that they don't show up in file browsers
[14:50] <mrpinky> i really love the ipod touch interface... but if it doesn't appear as a removable drive, then i will choose another device instead
[14:51] <andrewax> Ubuntu bypasses iPhone restrictions and mount it as common pendrive ;)
[14:51] <tik> hmm.. how to I add a delete option to the right clck menu? I hadit before but had to reinstall....
[14:51] <bareego> dang, I want my tax return already
[14:51] <mrpinky> andrewax, is that for iPod touch?
[14:51] <bareego> hardware needs to be bought !
[14:51] <hotstew> oh really?
[14:51] <mrpinky> andrewax, or only earlier generation iPods?
[14:51] <hotstew> I'll probably get the iPhone 4
[14:52] <andrewax> see here
[14:52] <hotstew> but I hate raping my Windows with iTunes

[14:52] <bareego> <- is waiting for the aPhone
[14:52] <andrewax> it's in portuguese
[14:52] <hotstew> it's just devaluing your PC for the sake of your phone
[14:52] <andrewax> but says the models
[14:52] <tik> for iTunes and ipadsi just use windows on a vbox.....
[14:53] <andrewax> iPhone 3GS is affected
[14:53] <bareego> sorry, I'll be typing slow for the next 5 days... just breached my DL limit for the month

[14:53] <bareego> modem speed FTW !
[14:53] <dries_> Does anyone know how to change chromium's min max close icons to those of your theme without adding the entire border?
[14:54] <hotstew> I guess but that still hogs a lot of CPU power
[14:54] <hotstew> ya know I have a wife and family
[14:54] <hotstew> and a Pentium D
[14:54] <Friktion> andrewax:; how would i se if i have permision to mount device ?
[14:54] <mrpinky> andrewax, i see, thanks ;D
[14:54] <hotstew> and a Pentium D is like an old man who lost his balls in a war
[14:55] <bareego> Pentium D is very useful... in winter
[14:55] <hotstew> at least it's the 3.0 Ghz one

[14:58] <carael> my ubuntu freeze with a black sreen what can i do ?
[14:58] <andrewax> now mark checkboxes and click ok
[14:58] <compromised> cold reboot?
[14:58] <andrewax> the 1st one
[14:58] <carael> my ubuntu freeze with a black sreen what can i do ?
[14:58] <oCean_> carael: no need to repeat your question
[14:59] <carael> can somebody gimme a help then
[14:59] <carael> pls
[14:59] <Misterio> carael: What are you doing when that happens?
[14:59] <dive-o> Anybody else had ubuntu 10.04 decide to uninstall a whole hell of a lot of packages that were totally unrelated to what you really wanted to get rid of?
[14:59] <qwert666> shouldn`t ubuntu 10.4 auto mount my dvdrom ? Oo because i cant find the device even even in /dev i have no files related to cd/dvd ...
[14:59] <qwert666> 10.04 *
[14:59] <oCean_> carael: it's all volunteers here in this channel, so have some patience. Also: you might want to give some more details (what did you do, what did you try, what version, what hardware etc etc)
[14:59] <dive-o> switching from heimdal to mit krb which i've done on other boxes just fine, removed all of gnome, and most of everything else
[15:00] <Misterio> qwert666: It should be mounted in /media or /mnt
[15:00] <dive-o> thanks, apt-get autoremove :(
[15:00] <Misterio> I don't remember what was folder
[15:00] <bareego> dive kinda... but it was sarge
[15:00] <qwert666> Misterio, ye i know, but it isn`t thats the problem ;)
[15:00] <dive-o> i'm reinstalling ubuntu-desktop on the last ssh session i had open to see if i can rescue it
[15:00] <dive-o> heh
[15:00] <dive-o> when dpkg fails it fails hard
[15:00] <Friktion> andrewax: what should i look for in user privilleges  ?
[15:01] <bareego> would be good if apt-get had some rollback feature
[15:02] <bareego> just for the last action
[15:02] <quickstart_> Hi, I get authentication failure when trying to su to a new user Iv'e created. How do I resovle this?
[15:02] <Friktion> How come my shutdown button is gone ?
[15:02] <Ejdesgaard> !howto ppa kernel
[15:02] <Friktion> i just see my account name twice
[15:02] <mkanyicy> bareego, you can apt-get remove
[15:02] <bareego> you su to a new user ?
[15:02] <Macsu> irc.rizon.net
[15:02] <dive-o> bareego: or at least was smart enough to realize that libpam-heimdal is not something that means "nuke all of gnome, and everything else while you're there"
[15:02] <quickstart_> how do I change user then?
[15:03] <bareego> on my sarge based debian on my xbox server all I did was apt-get install mplayer
[15:03] <dive-o> i'd finally gotten gnome exactly how I liked it, then it decides to screw itself. wonderful.
[15:03] <Ejdesgaard> how can i get a ppa kernel?
[15:03] <bareego> and it tried to plug friggin libc6 and new kernel and crap in
[15:03] <erUSUL> !ppa
[15:03] <hspaans> bareego: did you say sarge? wow
[15:03] <dive-o> yeah, this is why I don't like trusting dpkg
[15:03] <mkanyicy> quickstart_, can you do a 'sudo su -'
[15:04] <bareego> so now I plugged the disk in a normal pc so I just run a new distro on it
[15:04] <dive-o> at least freebsd backs up my packages before arbitrarily deleting them during dependency hell :P
[15:04] <mkanyicy> quickstart_, you should set set the new users password first
[15:04] <dive-o> bareego: if it ends up being more of a pain to recover than to reinstall, I'm ditching ubuntu on that machine
[15:04] <bareego> I put lubuntu on it and it works wonderfully
[15:04] <dive-o> love it on my netbook, but i have to reconsider trusting it with anything important if it's gonna pull crap like this
[15:05] <bareego> setup was really quick.. .just copying the data back takes some time
[15:05] <Friktion> sd
[15:06] <bareego> this time round I bothered to keep the data partition seperate to the linux partition, doh
[15:06] <suprengr> ! apt-get autoremove
[15:08] <dive-o> bareego: the data i most care about is on other machines, but still, this is ridiculous.   Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[15:09] <dougpiston> how do i fix?
[15:09] <dive-o> system -> administration -> hardware drivers
[15:09] <bareego> dive-o, know what you mean
[15:09] <bareego> when I did the mplayer install first thing it did was remove swat
[15:09] <bareego> I was like WTF ???
[15:09] <dougpiston> dive-o, ty
[15:10] <alan_> i dont know if this is an appropriate question for this room but how do i register in pigeon?
[15:10] <dive-o> bareego: I guess at least when I've shot myself in the foot on BSD I can think of a distinct stupid thing I did :P
[15:10] <dive-o> this was just a case of trusting dpkg like usual - never done this to me before
[15:10] <bareego> distro is only as good as the package maintainers
[15:11] <dive-o> true that
[15:11] <minimec> bareego: May I ask what happened? Didn't follow the story...
[15:11] <bareego> I had a xebian install on my xbox file server
[15:11] <bareego> I put in apt-get install mplayer cause I wanted to encode some stuff
[15:12] <shell-fu> that's dope, bareego
[15:12] <bareego> and it started by removing all kinds of packages
[15:12] <bareego> like swat ????

[15:12] <tic^> is this ubuntu-bitch or ubutnu support?
[15:13] <erUSUL> apparently is debian ranting
[15:13] <minimec> bareego: And what is the problem now?
[15:13] <bareego> no problem now, just ripped the hard drive out and put it in a normal pc and installed lubuntu on it
[15:13] <bareego> I was just whinging ;O)
[15:13] <dive-o> erUSUL: I don't see discussion of a major problem caused by apt as ranting, personally
[15:13] <oCean_> bareego: can you please drop the offtopic?
[15:13] <bareego> ok
[15:13] <dive-o> nor do i see it as off topic
[15:13] <dive-o> heh
[15:13] <minimec> bareego: I see... ;)
[15:13] <erUSUL> dive-o: if it is in a debian system it is offtopic
[15:14] <dive-o> erUSUL: and if it's an ubuntu 10.04 system?
[15:14] <quickstart_> how would thid line be run in ubunutu:  su -s /bin/sh aegir -c "sh install.sh.txt"
[15:14] <quickstart_>  /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[15:14] <dive-o> like the one it just happened to me on? :)
[15:14] <oCean_> dive-o: this is not a discussion channel
[15:14] <bareego> I guess lubuntu doesn't count if it's not canonical
[15:14] <cannonball> cant boot ubuntu neep help
[15:14] <oCean_> cannonball: a good start would be some more details. All in one single line
[15:14] <dive-o> oCean_: erm, than what is it?
[15:15] <dive-o> heh
[15:15] <oCean_> dive-o: technical support only. Read /topic. Discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic
[15:15] <erUSUL> dive-o: dunno; xebian is a new name for ubuntu 10.04 ? let me quote « ... sarge based debian on my xbox server all ... »
[15:15] <cannonball> get
[15:15] <dougpiston> dive-o, that worked. much appreciated
[15:15] <cannonball> I get a /dev/sda1 does not exsit error
[15:16] <dougpiston> my next issue is no video plays from HD
[15:16] <cannonball> seeming like it's not looking in the correct partiotion
[15:16] <alan_> does anyone know about python I can't get into that room something about registering but i though i was registered?
[15:16] <minimec> cannonball: Did you do a fresh install? An upgrade? Asimple update?
[15:16] <cannonball> I can boot into the live cd, what do I need to check?
[15:17] <cannonball> fresh install
[15:17] <nursodik> tolong, bantu saya gmana pakai webcam dgn xChat Ubuntu 10.04
[15:17] <cannonball> well at this moment everything is uninstalled
[15:17] <minimec> cannonball: ok. Is there another parallel install like win/other ubuntu version?
[15:18] <oCean_> alan_: are you registered with freenode? Then you have to identify at login (username/password). Further support in #freenode
[15:18] <alan_> ok thanks
[15:18] <cannonball> I have only windows 7 installed
[15:18] <alexander__> so... I'm trying to put something in a folder that is read only under /usr/lib etc. how do I get past that?
[15:18] <TheEskimo> alan_: /msg nickserv register password email
[15:18] <dougpiston> any thought on how to video playback to work?
[15:18] <cannonball> , but I recently had had xp and 7, I removed xp
[15:19] <TheEskimo> alexander__: Sudo should let you work with it
[15:19] <alexander__> i wouldn't know how to move the folder without dragging and dropping..
[15:19] <TheEskimo> alexander__: You can use chmod or chown to make it writable by your user.
[15:19] <cannonball> I've been trying to get ubuntu installed for 4 days now
[15:19] <minimec> cannonball: So you wanted to install ubuntu as second OS besides the WIn7 install and after that install, the ubuntu partition is not found?
[15:20] <minimec> cannonball: CAn you start the win7 partition?
[15:20] <TheEskimo> alexander__: you could go to a terminal and use "sudo nautilus" and use that window to move the folder.
[15:20] <cannonball> correct
[15:20] <alexander__> theeskimo thanks
[15:20] <quickstart_> ok, I've added this line (  aegir ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl) to the sudoers file but when I'm logged in as user and try sudo is asks for password. Why?!
[15:20] <TheEskimo> alexander__: I hope it works for you :)
[15:20] <carael> my ubuntu freeze with a black sreen what can i do ?
[15:21] <minimec> cannonball: Ok I guess, you can edit the start options in grub2 with the CD, as you mentioned.
[15:21] <minimec> cannonball: .. but I am not really used in grub edit... ;)
[15:21] <mossa> hi, I've installed ubuntu 10.04, and I have no sound. Sound card looks like well...
[15:22] <mossa> how can I test it?
[15:22] <cannonball> yeah ok... that seems to be the problem.. after reading about this error for days, and I have yet to get a good procedure to fix this
[15:22] <Jason3> Can someone help me figure out in the /etc/hosts file, when I am trying to setup a FQDN the third coloumn is what the machine thinks it is called?    For localhost its pretty opbvious.  but if I have just set my machine name to "gatorade" does it go X.X.X.X www.mymachine.com gatorade?
[15:22] <adac> If kill -9 does not wrk anymore what can I do else to shut down a process?
[15:22] <erUSUL> adac: if the process is zombie you can not kill it ( is already death you know)
[15:22] <mossa> lspci -v reports ICE1712, but I have a dummy output
[15:23] <TheEskimo> adac: sudo kill -9!
[15:23] <TheEskimo> :P
[15:23] <minimec> cannonball: As I know, the config files are now in the /etc section (if you use lucid)
[15:23] <blitzo> i'm trying to load sun-java6 ...  I added the partner repo (http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner), did "apt-get update" then "apt-get install sun-java6" - it says no such package - what am I doing wrong?
[15:23] <cannonball> yeah I read about editing the /ect/fstab
[15:24] <oCean_> Jason3: 3rd colum (or 4th, 5th...) are hostname aliases,
[15:24] <adac> erUSUL, How can I see if it is a zombie process?
[15:24] <minimec> cannonball: If you know something about the old grub syntax, you should be able to understand the new syntax. But a I said. I am not a hero in grub editing.
[15:24] <Jason3> right which is greek to me at the moment and my google search isn't answering the question.  Is the hostname alias equivelenet to what I have named my machine?
[15:24] <duffydack> blitzo, sun-java6-jre
[15:25] <cannonball> I know little to non
[15:25] <txsky7> everybody they?
[15:25] <cannonball> and what I did know I have forgotten
[15:25] <erUSUL> adac: ps aux | less
[15:25] <blitzo> duffydack, i also need the browser plugin, what would that be?
[15:26] <duffydack> blitzo, sun-java6-plugin
[15:26] <erUSUL> adac: see the stat column if it is Z )or sometines D)
[15:26] <Jason3> oCean_: so gatoarade is my alias?
[15:26] <TheEskimo> adac: ps aux | grep -i processName is an alternative
[15:26] <xangua> blitzo: openjdk plugin should work as boog as sun java; you have it if you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:27] <oCean_> Jason3: first field is ipadress. 2nd field is fqdn, after that, you can add any alias you want.  like so: http://paste.ubuntu.com/471859/
[15:27] <duffydack> the things I use dont like openjdk as much...
[15:27] <mclipsco> anyone know in BASH shell, option where watch command can show elapsed time rather than clock time?
[15:28] <adac> erUSUL, TheEskimo http://p't have a clue how nagios could be started 3 times ;)
[15:28] <oCean_> Jason3: yes, and you can have many aliases. Your machine's name (command: hostname)  has to resolve at least one of them
[15:28] <TuxSax> adac: pgrep proccessname can retrieve the process(es) PID
[15:28] <adac> http://pastie.org/1069654
[15:28] <mclipsco> for example # watch -n 5 -d df
[15:28] <blitzo> xangua, what is "boog"?  openjdk is pretty worthless really
[15:28] <xangua> blitzo: good*
[15:28] <oCean_> Jason3: preferrable your "hostname" = fqdn and "hostname -s" is your (first) alias, after that add any alias you want
[15:28] <xangua> well then install sun java if you preffer ;)
[15:29] <erUSUL> adac: the unkillable processes are nagios ? all of them ?
[15:29] <txsky7> ....................
[15:29] <txsky7> ........................
[15:29] <txsky7> ...........................
[15:29] <FloodBot1> txsky7: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:29] <_ting_> Hi could anyone help me? My nvdia hdmi audio is not working after upgrade my ubuntu to 10.04. I can not see the hdmi sound controls in the alsamixer
[15:29] <_ting_> any idea ?
[15:30] <adac> erUSUL, yeah well I had some strange kernel mesages when I entered this virtual machine (openvz). So I tried to restart the virtual machine but stop won't work. Killing those thre processes (nagios) does not work either
[15:30] <adac> erUSUL, yeah all of them
[15:31] <Jason3> thanks
[15:32] <qwert666> strange after i restarted ubuntu it started to see the cdrom ... but i have still some speed problems http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/DVWTQjRJ wtf why so slow ?
[15:33] <qwert666> any suggestions ?
[15:34] <Friktion> hey
[15:34] <Friktion> its me again
[15:34] <TuxSax> qwert666: what speeds are you expecting to get from a CDROM?
[15:35] <erUSUL> adac: they seem to be blocked waiting for i/o ( D )
[15:35] <Friktion> Can someone check my fstab file i think pysdm messed it up pretty badly since i cant mount and do stuff since i installed it and used it
[15:36] <erUSUL> adac: not familiar with penvz. maybe you forced an umount under their feet or closed some connections... maybe a reboot is the only way to get rid of them
[15:36] <qwert666> Tuxist, when i tried to copy some 700mb file from the cdrom i got 500-600kb/s i expect higher speed then that
[15:36] <Friktion> here it its: http://codepad.org/qTw6HuhC
[15:37] <adac> erUSUL, I can't reboot the whole pysical machine... ;) and vzctl stop does not work. So I'm kinda fracked up
[15:37] <adac> :)
[15:37] <TuxSax> qwert666: the hdparm you pasted shows better speeds than that
[15:37] <TuxSax> where are you copying them to?
[15:37] <erUSUL> adac: maybe google has some clue. "how to kill process stuck in D state " ?
[15:37] <Tuxist> bad disk ?
[15:38] <TuxSax> adac: did you try to kill -9 them?
[15:38] <TuxSax> try this one: for i in `pgrep nagios` ; do sudo kill -9 $i ; done
[15:39] <adac> TuxSax, sure thing
[15:39] <adac> erUSUL, kk, thx
[15:39] <qwert666> Tuxist, /home ... strange when i tried copy the whole folder with the file i got 500-600kb/s but when i copied only the *.zip file >1.5mb/s
[15:39] <adac> erUSUL, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/694720/how-is-it-possible-that-kill-9-for-a-process-on-linux-has-no-effect
[15:39] <qwert666> there was only 2 files in the folder *
[15:40] <adac> erUSUL, quite a nice explanantion
[15:40] <erUSUL> adac: i'm told in #bash ( full of clever people) that reboot can be the only way
[15:40] <adac> erUSUL, I agree #bash is a very clever channel :)
[15:41] <adac> erUSUL, and yeah tmorrow i will tell my boss to stop playing around with nagios hehehe
[15:42] <TuxSax> adac: the best solution is to rather to halt instead reboot, and never power it on again, you'll see there won't be more problems anymore...
[15:43] <hemant_> Hi, i m using lucid lynx and ctrl+alt+f1 does not work for me
[15:43] <hemant_> i jsut get  a blanks screen with cursor blinking but no login prompt
[15:43] <adac> TuxSax, yeah but then my job is gone if there are no more issues
[15:43] <adac> =)
[15:44] <erUSUL> adac: well the problem was the forced shutdown of that openvz instance; wasn't it ?
[15:44] <Friktion> can someone help me with my fstab file please ?
[15:45]  * hemant_ am i in the right channel?
[15:45] <TuxSax> Friktion: your fstab looks fine to me
[15:45] <edbian> Friktion, I can!  I'm pretty good at it.  What's the problem??
[15:45] <adac> erUSUL, Yeah i would need to kill the openvz container now. Unfortunatly openvz hannel is asleep and google offers no answers on how to kill a container
[15:45] <BluesKaj> Howdy
[15:46] <Friktion> well i cant do anything, like mounting or unmounting my devices
[15:46] <TuxSax> adac: a container cannot be killed
[15:46] <erUSUL> adac: well « kill -9 » is not the answer ... as you saw it lefts all sort of things around
[15:46] <Friktion> edbian: it started since i installed pysdm
[15:46] <Mr_Sonoma> hemant_, are you trying that from log in screen?
[15:46] <erUSUL> Friktion: what error messages you get ?
[15:46] <hemant_> lucid lynx, ctrl alt f1-6 i just gives  a blanks screen with cursor blinking but no login prompt
[15:46] <adac> TuxSax, erUSUL yeah you are right
[15:46] <adac> i can't kill it
[15:46] <hemant_> Mr_Sonoma: no, from my deskop
[15:46] <adac> so restart is needed
[15:46] <edbian> Friktion, How are you trying to mount?    But that's not the point.  What is /dev/sda2 ?
[15:47] <Friktion> edbian: im mounting them from the "computer . filebrowser"
[15:47] <TuxSax> Friktion: try adding sudo
[15:47] <Friktion> its an partition
[15:48] <adac> TuxSax, erUSUL hmm I might could clone it. and then destroy the old one
[15:48] <adac> that could work
[15:48] <edbian> Friktion, Oh, if you add the user option in fstab then anybody can mount it and you'll be able to using nautilus.  Can you pastebin your /etc/fstab??
[15:48] <Friktion> im not doing this in terminal, i tried and it worked but i want it to work like before
[15:48] <TuxSax> adac: worth a try
[15:48] <Friktion> ok wait
[15:48] <adac> but I'm not sure If cloning works in active state... must try that
[15:48] <edbian> Friktion, Yeah, you need the user option in your /etc/fstab for that partition.
[15:49] <TuxSax> Friktion: does your user have proper rights?
[15:49] <Friktion> http://codepad.org/nId98ykk
[15:49] <dhanesh> what is gnome
[15:49] <blitzo> i've just reloaded my system, added sun java, and I am trying to run a java app.  the sun java logo appears and nothing happens.  how can i find out what's going wrong?
[15:49] <Friktion> well it had the proper rights before i used pysdm
[15:49] <headkase314> dhaneshL GNOME is your desktop manager
[15:49] <Friktion> im on ubuntu 10.04 btw if good to know =)
[15:49] <edbian> Friktion, See all your partitions that have defaults?  make it defaults,user  if you want any use to be able to mount them.  auto makes them mount at startup.  Look at man mount for a full list of the options
[15:50] <dhanesh> what is mean by IRC chat
[15:50] <TheEskimo> !gnome | dhanesh
[15:50] <edbian> dhanesh, This is IRC chat.  Internet Relay Chat
[15:50] <TheEskimo> !irc | dhanesh
[15:50] <blitzo> i've just reloaded my system, added sun java, and I am trying to run a java app.  the sun java logo appears and nothing happens.  how can i find out what's going wrong?
[15:50] <Mr_Sonoma> hemant_, i'm looking to see what i can spot for you. I've had a nearly simmilar problem in that it doesn't work for me on my desktop until AFTER i've logged in graphically. Not something i always want to do
[15:50] <dhanesh> how it works IRC
[15:51] <hemant_> Mr_Sonoma: gr8, thanks, keep me posted.
[15:51] <Andrea88> why i cannot find ftp directory mount with gvfs-mount under the .gvfs directory of my home dir?
[15:51] <Friktion> edbian: now i get http://codepad.org/YSFcIMEo
[15:51] <TheEskimo> dhanesh: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat
[15:52] <kingtut> is there a  limit to how big of partition you can have useing ubuntu
[15:52] <edbian> Friktion, whoa.  I'm not sure what to do now.  You didn't build ntfs-3g in the first place?
[15:52] <edbian> kingtut, Only limited by your hdd
[15:52] <dhanesh> TheEskimo:thank you
[15:52] <Friktion> dont know like i just chose the ntfs type
[15:52] <blitzo> i've just reloaded my system, added sun java, and I am trying to run a java app.  the sun java logo appears and nothing happens.  how can i find out what's going wrong?
[15:52] <TheEskimo> kingtut: I think the limit is in the petabytes at the least.
[15:52] <kingtut> thanks
[15:53] <TheEskimo> kingtut: In otherwords: essentially none
[15:53] <Naznaz> blitzo, just try a simple hello-world application and see what it does?
[15:53] <edbian> kingtut, The limit of an ext4 filesystem is 16TB
[15:53] <headkase314> blitzo: try running the application from a terminal.  That way you may see error messages.
[15:53] <blitzo> Naznaz, i am not a developer
[15:53] <edbian> kingtut, But you can have more than one partition.
[15:53] <hemant_> lucid lynx, ctrl alt f1-6 i just gives  a blanks screen with cursor blinking but no login prompt
[15:53] <blitzo> headkase314, i have no idea how to launch it from a terminal
[15:54] <Friktion> edbian: but i dont think thats the problem, since i was able to mount and unmount without any problems a while ago before i used the pysdm app =/
[15:54] <Naznaz> blitzo, open terminal and simply type $ java
[15:54] <Naznaz> and see what the output is
[15:54] <headkase314> blitzo: java (filename).jar should do it.
[15:54] <Friktion> edbian: damn i got to fix this since i dont want to go back to windows
[15:54] <Naznaz> or java -jar
[15:54] <edbian> Friktion, Try ntfs-3g instead of ntfs under <type>
[15:55] <edbian> Friktion, Well worst case, throw in the auto option and the partition will be mounted by default at boot time by the system instead of by a user (and therefore you can)
[15:55] <kingtut> well i tb i broke it up half ubunttu and half for win7  butit changed 250 gib for some reason

[15:56] <harold> Hello, friends I have a problem with the package manager, the following error is showing up: "An unresolvable problem occurred while initializing the package information.
[15:56] <harold> Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
[15:56] <harold> 'E:Opening /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list - ifstream::ifstream (13: Permission denied), E:The list of sources could not be read.". Thanks in advance.
[15:56] <dhanesh> dont know how to use xchat
[15:57] <edbian> Friktion, No no, if you throw in the user option then Ubuntu will boot and automatically mount the ntfs partition.  If it does this it will be done as root and should work just fine.  You still won't be able to double click the icon in computer but it won't matter because it will already be mounted.  Make sense?
[15:57] <edbian> Friktion, First try ntfs-3g under type.
[15:57] <Friktion> edbian: how would i do that then ?
[15:58] <edbian> Friktion, In your /etc/fstab.  See the type column?  You have ntfs, I'm saying change that type to ntfs-3g.
[15:58] <edbian> Friktion, Understand??

[16:01] <quickstart_> hi, getting a bit confused. Trying this 'su -s /bin/sh aegir' and it says can't open aegir. any ideas?
[16:01] <headkase314> blitzo: see -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java and the "update-java-alternatives" console command, run it with sudo to make sure your default java is configured properly
[16:02] <blitzo> headkase314, thx
[16:02] <headkase314> blitzo: I hope it works, I'm not an expert with Java
[16:03] <guampa> bero: one that's simple to use is called "simple backup"
[16:03] <blitzo> headkase314, the restricted-extras installed openjdk, then i uninstalled it, possibly the config is hosed.  gotta wait for an apt-get upgrade to finish, that'll take slightly longer than forever :)
[16:04] <Friktion> edbian: i edited the file, should i restart now or what ?
[16:04] <edbian> Friktion, No need to.  Try and double click it.  It reads the file live after you try to mount something.
[16:05] <headkase314> blizo: the update-java-alternatives command should let you choose which JRE to use.
[16:05] <edbian> Friktion, Make sure you've saved the changes though!

[16:13] <Friktion> why ?
[16:13] <compaq> Friktion, is it in the repo?

[16:14] <compaq> Friktion, how did you install it?
[16:14] <Friktion> http://www.opera.com/browser/download/
[16:14] <Friktion> should be an option for ubuntu
[16:14] <compaq> Friktion, oh, that's what I was wondering
[16:14] <gabriel_> Hi everyone
[16:15] <compaq> Friktion, its good, better?
[16:15] <Friktion> actually i think it works better on windows but yes it is good =)
[16:15] <Friktion> edbian: so any idea ?
[16:17] <gabriel_> I have a logitech quickcam connect e2500 on ubuntu 10.4 and when I use the camera it is too dark the image, what can I do to fix this?
[16:17] <hemant_> lucid lynx, ctrl alt f1-6 i just gives  a blanks screen with cursor blinking but no login prompt
[16:18] <edbian> Friktion, I'm looking at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[16:19] <edbian> Friktion, At about 3/4 of the page down there is an example for windows.  I don't see you doing anything different.  You said this is a windows xp partition?
[16:19] <micha_> hallo
[16:19] <Friktion> yes
[16:19] <ZykoticK9> hemant_, just curious, have you tried to alter the Plymouth resolution on your system?  what video card are you using?  i don't really have any suggestions i'm affraid - i just know when i manually tried to get better Plymouth resolution with proprietary nvidia - it broke all my virtual console (F1toF6).
[16:20] <magicianlord> ZykoticK9: plymouth does not adjust to proprietary drivers
[16:20] <magicianlord> installing nvidia or ati messes up the boot
[16:20] <ZykoticK9> magicianlord, it can be done now.
[16:21] <hemant_> ZykoticK9: i use nvidia, no manual changes
[16:21] <mouse> What options should I use in fstab for a secondary internal hard drive?
[16:21] <edbian> Friktion, Then I'm out of ideas.  Look into setting the setuid of the ntfs-3g binary.
[16:21] <edbian> Friktion, I guess?  Or ask around here some more??
[16:21] <gabriel_> I have a logitech quickcam connect e2500 on ubuntu 10.4 and when I use the camera it is too dark the image, what can I do to fix this?
[16:21] <edbian> Friktion, Do you have fuse installed?
[16:21] <edbian> Friktion, I'm pretty sure it is by default.
[16:22] <magicianlord> ZykoticK9: how? i read other tutorials that didnt work well
[16:22] <magicianlord> plymouth should do this automatically
[16:22] <minimec> gabriel_: sudo apt-get install guvcview
[16:22] <TuxSax> Friktion: just out of curiosity, do you have ntfs-3g ntfs-config and ntfsprogs packages installed?
[16:22] <ZykoticK9> magicianlord, i'm pretty sure this has been reported as working http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/ i don't bother myself.
[16:23] <minimec> gabriel_: guvcview is a gui that gives you the posibility to adjust your image.
[16:23] <edbian> Friktion, Yeah, perhaps you need to install ntfs-3g
[16:23] <TuxSax> if not, try to install them
[16:23] <gabriel_> minimec> ok, I have it installed now, how do I use it?
[16:23] <TuxSax> that will make the ntfs partitions mounting easier
[16:23] <Friktion> actually i checked the ntfs-3g in the ubuntu software center and it was there
[16:23] <minimec> gabriel_: <alt>F2 guvcview

[16:28] <Ganymede> would you say that NFSv4 server is stable enough in 9.10 that i should reasonably expect to not see dataloss for light usage?
[16:28] <edbian> blitzo, sudo caches the password for like 5 minutes or something.
[16:28] <martianixor> wrektjet: hey how's everything? ;-)
[16:29] <edbian> blitzo, If you wait a while it will ask again. If you log out and log back in it will ask again.
[16:29] <headkase314> blitzo: sudo caches the password for about 5 minutes.  If you do it again within that time frame you don't need to enter the password, automatically does it.
[16:29] <edbian> Ganymede, data loss might also be packet loss.
[16:29] <DrSlony> Hey, I'm not an ubuntu user but I'm witing a GTA2 guide, can someone please tell me the command line command you'd use to install p7zip?
[16:29] <edbian> Ganymede, Not just unstable software.
[16:30] <littlegirl> drag0nh3art: What happens if you type sudo apt-get update
[16:30] <minimec> drag0nh3art: Verify your internet connection...
[16:30] <edbian> DrSlony, sudo apt-get install 7z
[16:30] <Ganymede> edbian: okay, i mean on-disk corruption. surely NFSv4 won't corrupt files in the event of packet loss
[16:30] <minimec> drag0nh3art: THar definitly looks like you lost the internet connection...
[16:30] <DrSlony> thanks edbian
[16:30] <DrSlony> edbian: is it 7z or 7zip-full ?
[16:30] <drag0nh3art> it updates
[16:30] <DrSlony> sorry, p7zip-full
[16:30] <Friktion> edbian; is there some kind of repair i can do ?
[16:30] <DrSlony> http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=p7zip-full
[16:31] <edbian> Ganymede, Ohh, it shouldn't be corrupting things...
[16:31] <minimec> drag0nh3art: OK. So you have an internet connection ;)
[16:31] <headkase314> drag0nh3art: go to: System > Administration > Software Sources.  You can choose the best mirror or just a different mirror there to get your updates from, that may not resolve the problem but it is good to know.
[16:31] <drag0nh3art> but it updates when i use sudo apt-get update
[16:31] <littlegirl> drag0nh3art: And after it does that, can you install the program you wanted to install?
[16:31] <edbian> DrSlony, not sure of the difference.  Look at aptitude show 7z and 7z-full

[16:32] <minimec> drag0nh3art: That's ok  It is updating the sources. Afterwards you can do sudo apt-get upgrade to install the updates...
[16:32] <DrSlony> thank you edbian
[16:32] <guampa> shiftingcontrol: what do you mean by shuting down a port? firewalling it?
[16:32] <shiftingcontrol> guampa:port 21 is open i want to close it

[16:32] <edbian> DrSlony, In ubuntu the package is named: p7zip
[16:33] <blitzo> shiftingcontrol, how do you know port 21 is open?
[16:33] <edbian> DrSlony, So the command is: "sudo apt-get install p7zip"
[16:33] <DrSlony> right, thanks again edbian !
[16:33] <edbian> DrSlony, Without quotes of course.
[16:33] <edbian> DrSlony, No problem.

[16:37] <guampa> shiftingcontrol: so? you can't connect to the port if it appears as filtered
[16:37] <headkase314> IndigoMan: Go to System > Administration > Update Manager.  If there are any updates they will be shown.  The updates are limited to what is in the repositories, it is possible a newer version of a program exists but has not been packaged into the Ubuntu repositories yet.

[16:42] <IndigoMan> headkase314 when I did this a few weeks ago it seems to me that I had to put a ppa for xchat in the repositories but I can't find where I read that any longer.
[16:43] <robertzaccour> do lexmark printers work in Ubuntu?
[16:43] <blitzo> guampa, i just did the suggested netstat and it seems i have a process listening at port 631 but netstat doesn't know what the program is - how can i find out?
[16:43] <minimec> mouse: If you have some problems, the jumpers are the first start while debugging...
[16:43] <robertzaccour> that seems to be the cheap brand and i wanna know if i'm using the right OS for it
[16:44] <headkase314> IndigoMan: Here is where to search PPA's -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas and here are the xchat results -> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=xchat
[16:44] <headkase314> IndigoMan: Bookmark that first link, it's very useful ;)
[16:44] <guampa> blitzo: run it as root

[16:45] <blitzo> guampa, duh! i figgered that out - it's cups :)
[16:45] <mouse> minimec, It only happens when I use the default options in fstab.  Any other time it works as a normal hd storage file system.
[16:45] <guampa> there! it's true that's its port
[16:47] <minimec> mouse: I cannot remember the last time I had to edit anything in fstab... MY advise... Check jumpers and maybe install gparted to se how your harddrive is recognized.
[16:48] <IndigoMan> ok, that didn't work.  I wish I could remember how I got that xchat repository into the update manager...
[16:48] <bastid_raZor> mouse: does fstab list your drives/partitions by UUID or by /dev/id?
[16:49] <headkase314> IndigoMan: you use the "sudo add-apt-repository <PPA>" to add a PPA, is that what you mean?
[16:49] <minimec> IndigoMan: Try this https://launchpad.net/~ken-vandine/+archive/xchat-gnome
[16:49] <mouse> minimec, I'm new to fstab.  I'm just trying to set up my system so the hd will be mounted when it starts up.
[16:49] <Bridge|A> I've tried netstat and the port i'm looking for isnt listed as being active on it, but every time i try 'sudo ident2'   i get tihis error msg:
[16:49] <Bridge|A> error: binding to port 113: bind(): Address already in use
[16:49] <IndigoMan> headkase314 yes
[16:49] <livingdaylight> can someone tell me whether paltalk express works in their browser? flash keep crashing here. Works perfectly in Win 7
[16:49] <minimec> mouse: ONe more reason NOT to touch your fstab ;)
[16:50] <IndigoMan> minimec thank you, looking now...
[16:50] <mouse> minimec, Good point.  But then again, how will I learn?
[16:51] <kishajos> rere
[16:51] <minimec> mouse: again. If your hardrive is attached correctly in your computer, the drive should be recognized by the system and should be available.

[16:53] <carlos82> someone can help me?
[16:53] <headkase314> kishajos: the easiest way to get it working is Crossover Games -> http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxgames/ but that is a paid app: 1 week full trial is available if you want to test it!
[16:53] <kishajos> he's got an "old" PC with AMD 2x00+, 1GB DDR, Ati 9550
[16:53] <mouse> bastid_raZor, Yeah.  I just seem to be having trouble with the options.  Unless giving the label and uuid would make a difference.
[16:53] <bastid_raZor> minimec: adding drives to fstab is very simple.
[16:53] <profxavier> carlos82, does sounds work for anything ?
[16:53] <carlos82> profxavier: yes
[16:53] <bastid_raZor> mouse: paste the line your adding.
[16:54] <minimec> bastid_raZor: Yeah, but you normally don't need it, that's all. When was the last time you had to do this? seriously?
[16:54] <kishajos> and what do you think about Cedega?:D
[16:54] <AntiCasp3r> can anyone help installing my tvcard via xawTV?
[16:54] <carlos82> profxavier: i have sound in SO or rhythmbox or something
[16:54] <kishajos> i heard about it today
[16:54] <carlos82> profxavier: but for amarok dont sound
[16:54] <bastid_raZor> minimec: when i add a drive i manually add it to fstab. just last week to be honest.
[16:54] <minimec> bastid_raZor: a normal hardrive should be recognized by ubuntu without touching anything.
[16:55] <profxavier> carlos82, you can configure amarok to use a specified audio device
[16:55] <headkase314> kishajos: Cedega has a history that many people don't like, they pulled an old version of WINE and closed-sourced it against community wishes.  Technically it works well, community wise there is resentment.
[16:55] <carlos82> profxavier: where?
[16:55] <profxavier> carlos82, i am sure you can just look around and find it
