[00:57] <wad> Under ubuntu, is there a keyboard way to shut down the system? CTRL-ALT-DEL lets me log out, but not power down...
[00:57] <unop> wad, ~/.profile is sourced by the login script after you log in at the GDM .. ~/.bashrc is sourced each time you launch an interactive bash shell.
[00:57] <n8tuserf> wad use of sys req
[00:57] <wad> unop: Ah, yes, that was what I was remembering.
[00:58] <wad> So the best place to put it is in .profile
[00:58] <capttwinky> @wad - generally keyboard shutdown "ctl-alt-del" is re-mapped by gnome
[00:58] <mroc> n8tuserf: well, i've checked to make sure STA is enabled, B43 is disabled.  i tried restarting the networking through /etc/init.d/networking restart, and tried modprobe wl follwed by the same networking restart command.  i may be going about this entirely wrong though, i don't claim to know much about anything.
[00:58] <wad> If you run bash, then run bash again from it, you get double the entries.
[00:58] <denis> h
[00:58] <prince_jammys> wad: what you were saying happens only when you run another child interactive shell from your current shell
[00:58] <denis> exit
[00:58]  * wad nods
[00:58] <prince_jammys> wad: what you just said ;)
[00:59] <Mox`> isn't it possible to compile a kernel and make a initrd without module support?
[00:59] <unop> wad, it depends on how you set the path up in ~/.bashrc
[00:59] <n8tuserf> mroc id follow the link suggestions first if i were you after the compile to load it and activate it
[00:59] <wad> unop: You could wrap it in some logic to check...
[00:59] <wad> I'd rather just put it in the right spot, in .profile.
[00:59] <TheGambler> Hi, everyone. I just got my first Linux server (Ubuntu Hardy) set up and running and on IRC!

[01:00] <TheGambler> God_Like: yes, in order to get at it via ssh from behind firewall; it is a virtual machine
[01:01] <DarkKnight> i just wanted to make sure that drupal takes my files from my Documents.. how can i put this path....can anyone help me
[01:01] <dadda> why can't I have two active ethernet connections?
[01:01] <Nytrix> n8wood, camorama did not work
[01:01] <unop> dadda, i'm guessing your windows machine is blocking pings .. possible firewall (mis)configuration?
[01:01] <TheGambler> Basically, I want to learn Linux and I don't have spare hardware. This achieves it
[01:01] <ST47> My firefox is getting SIGBUS on start now, ever since this afternoon, when I updated the ubuntu package. I tried an uninstall, and reinstall, and I ran a full memory test, but the error persists.
[01:01] <unop> dadda, sure you can
[01:01] <ST47> My firefox is getting SIGBUS on start now, ever since this afternoon, when I updated the ubuntu package. I tried an uninstall, and reinstall, and I ran a full memory test, but the error persists.
[01:01] <ST47> Oops, sorry
[01:01] <n8tuserf> dadda you can on same subnet but its not recommended for newbies
[01:02] <ST47> I'm assuming there's something to do with a botched update, since my laptop crashed while running aptitude
[01:02] <capttwinky> @wad - you could put an init 0 command into a script that ran from a key press, but you would need su to run it
[01:02] <TheGambler> Can anyone point me to a resource that would help a noob understand how to get to a graphical desktop on Ubuntu over ssh? I would prefer not to use vnc if possible
[01:03] <God_Like> TheGambler, forward x11
[01:03] <capttwinky> @ TheGambler - server or client?
[01:03] <n8tuserf> TheGambler -> you ever done a tutorial on ssh?   something like  ssh -C -Y name@remotehost
[01:03] <dadda> I have not configured any firewalls since eth1 is just going to be for connection directly to my ftp server running on a windows machine on ip <IP_ADDRESS> and subnet <IP_ADDRESS> and my ubuntu machine I whant the ip <IP_ADDRESS> but I can't get them to talk to each other pinging is not working
[01:03] <TheGambler> God_Like: thanks, I will look into that
[01:04] <TheGambler> n8tuserf: no, I am brand new; just got through this yesterday and today
[01:04] <glenrock> TheGambler: you can also tunnel vnc over ssh, so that the only port you're using is the SSH port
[01:04] <Flannel> TheGambler: If its in a VM, why don't you just use the GUI in the VM?
[01:04] <wad> Woo hoo, now I'm logged into IRC on my new laptop!
[01:04] <TheGambler> Flannel: I am connected to the shell over VNC from a Windows box
[01:04] <n8tuserf> TheGambler -> now is a good time to learn those then,
[01:04] <TheGambler> When I connect via SSH, will I need another client to see the X windows?
[01:05] <unop> dadda, firewalls on the windows machine i mean
[01:05] <Jupp> how do check if a user account is locked?
[01:05] <gino> TheGambler, I did that ages ago with cygwin and putty
[01:05] <dadda> no firewalls at all on the windows machine and i removed the built in crap
[01:05] <n8tuserf> Jupp -> can the user logged on?
[01:05] <capttwinky> @TheGambler - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574556
[01:05] <Scunizi> TheGambler: you won't need another x unless you want..
[01:05] <gino> http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html
[01:06] <TheGambler> gino: cool; I did see some references to cygwin. However, I do not understand "X"; like, how does X related to Gnome or KDE?
[01:06] <jeeves> can anyone reccomend a good database wherehouse soulition for an I.T. company that is OSS, and allows the storage of system info, etc?
[01:06] <TheGambler> capttwinky: thanks
[01:06] <n8tuserf> dadda -> have you done any networking tutorial?  route table is essential for two host to be able to ping each other..
[01:06] <TheGambler> gino: thanks
[01:06] <ST47> My firefox is getting SIGBUS on start now, since I updated it earlier. I can't figure out how to try to downgrade it. How do I do that using synaptic or aptitude?
[01:06] <porthose> can rythmbox be removed from Intrepid without screwing up your system to much?
[01:06] <capttwinky> @TheGambler - x is the system that both Gnome and KDE run on top of
[01:06] <sega> hello
[01:06] <Jupp> n8tuserf, if I lock an account with "passwd -l" how can you check which ones are locked?
[01:06] <dadda> I also has a weird effect that my internet connection on eth0 gets disconnected if I try connecting eth1
[01:07] <TheGambler> capttwinky: does that mean I could get Gnome over SSH?
[01:07] <n8tuserf> Jupp -> i dont know off hand, but i would man passwd to get some clue or hints
[01:07] <prince_jammys> TheGambler: you can run X apps over ssh, yes
[01:07] <capttwinky> @TheGambler - yes, or kde or any other window manager you want
[01:07] <TheGambler> @TheGambler - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=574556
[01:07] <TheGambler> sweet
[01:08] <ST47> Guys. Honestly this isn't too difficult. I know there's got to be some way to downgrade a package.
[01:08] <dadda> What is METRIC in a routeing table?
[01:08] <Bsims> I am wanting a simple and easy to use dj package for Ubuntu to do web streaming
[01:08] <capttwinky> @ST47 right click in synaptic
[01:08] <God_Like> dadda, its like hops
[01:08] <Titan8990> Bsims, dj?
[01:09] <ST47> Ok. If I need to use synaptic, I have a harder problem.
[01:09] <ST47> It won't accept my sudo password >.>
[01:09] <dadda> what is hops?
[01:09] <TheGambler> THanks for the tips. I really appreciate it
[01:09] <n8tuserf> Jupp -> i have not used that feature before, but perhaps if you look into utmp or wtmp?  to see any indications?
[01:09] <capttwinky> ST47 - can you sudo from the terminal?
[01:09] <Titan8990> ST47, your sudo password is the same password us use to log in, you must be in the admin group
[01:09] <gino> ST47, then your kinda screwed
[01:09] <ST47> Sudo works
[01:09] <porthose> Bsims: checkout Ampache
[01:09] <ST47> gksu doesn't work
[01:10] <Titan8990> dadda, a hop is going from one network device to another, for example, going from your computer to your router is one hop
[01:10] <gino> what irc client does everyone recomend?
[01:10] <Bsims> porthose: I want it to work with windows mplayer ip whatever
[01:10] <capttwinky> @ST47 - you should probably do a "sudo deb-conf reconfigure gksu" then
[01:10] <Titan8990> gino, i like xchat but its a matter of preference
[01:10] <dadda> ubuntu computer to gigabit switch to windows computer is 3 hops then?
[01:11] <rww> Jupp: sudo cat /etc/shadow. Any user accounts that have a * or ! in the second column instead of a long list of characters are locked.
[01:11] <porthose> Bsims: the tar.gz from ampache.org will work on windows
[01:11] <capttwinky> @ST47 you can also do a "sudo synaptic &" from a commandline
[01:11] <Mox`> Do I still need to make initrd for my new kernel if the kernel have been compiled without module support?
[01:11] <capttwinky> @gino pidgen
[01:11] <gino> Titan8990, question about xchat: where do I remove the "blah has left/joned" channel
[01:11] <Flannel> capttwinky, ST47: use gksu not sudo for graphical programs
[01:11] <Titan8990> dadda, yes, you can test that with traceroute
[01:11] <ST47> Flannel: I'd love to if gksu worked.
[01:11] <n8tuserf> dadda -> have you done any networking tutorial?  route table is essential for two host to be able to ping each other.. kindly do a networking tutorial please
[01:12] <prince_jammys> ST47: how about gksudo?
[01:12] <Jupp> rww, thanks!!! that's exactly what I was looking for
[01:12] <dadda> Any good networking tutorials out there?
[01:12] <Titan8990> gino, settings -> preferences -> chatting -> general
[01:12] <Flannel> ST47: If gksu won't work, sudo won't work.  Are you sure you're putting the correct password in? (your user's) without caps lock, etc, etc?  Are you still in the admin group?
[01:12] <capttwinky> @flannel - gksu is preferred but if the command line user already has sudo privilages, it will work from the command line just fine
[01:12] <gino> Titan8990, when other people leave the channel
[01:12] <Bsims> porthose: but can tehy listen to it without any real work
[01:12] <Titan8990> gino, oh, I have never tried
[01:13] <capttwinky> try "sudo ls;sudo synaptic &"
[01:13] <ST47> gksudo works. sudo works. gksu doesn't. I wonder if I screwed something up.
[01:13] <n8tuserf> dadda -> i have nothing on hand, you may have to google for one
[01:13] <dadda> ok
[01:13] <gino> dang
[01:13] <prince_jammys> ST47: seems like there's a gconf setting that puts gksu in 'sudo' mode (not 'su' mode), which is what you want
[01:13] <unop> capttwinky, don't start GUI apps with sudo like that
[01:13] <jin_122>  is it possible that i didn't install ubuntu correctly but still be able to use it?
[01:13] <Flannel> capttwinky: No.  gksu sets up the environment differently than sudo.  More appropriately for graphical programs.  The recommendation has nothing to do with the graphical prompt.
[01:13] <rww> gino: right-click the channel name in the channel switcher. it's in one of the sub-menus off there.
[01:13] <unop> !gksudo > capttwinky
[01:13] <hentai> join ##windows
[01:13] <hentai> woops
[01:14] <gino> rww, cheers! Thanks!
[01:14] <ST47> prince_jammys: thanks, looking...
[01:14] <porthose> Bsims: yes it has a XPSF player
[01:14] <prince_jammys> ST47: use the gconf editor tool and look at .. /apps/gksu/sudo-mode
[01:14] <Flynsarmy> On intrepid someitmes the Save File... dialogue is missing a few links on the left like desktop. theyre just appear as blank white. also the save file dialogue often appears really small and i have to resize in gedit. Is this a common problem? neither happened in gutsy or hardy
[01:14] <Bsims> I'll look into it then
[01:14] <Flynsarmy> Its msising the links in pidgin sorry
[01:14] <musikgoat|main> Flynsarmy: the size issue is a known bug
[01:15] <mroc> n8tuserf: after following those directions and reading a bit more, i got it working.  it seems i was having the following problem: "However, it does have the same problem as NDISwrapper that if you have the Broadcom wired card that uses the b44 module, you will need to load the wl module before the ssb module is loaded."  How can correct this?
[01:15] <xtmnx> how do I configure dual display extended desktop with different resolution (fglrx)
[01:15] <prince_jammys> ST47: alternatively, use gksudo. It's not a big problem. Just seems like your gksu is acting like 'su', which expects the root password.  That's what I suspect is happening
[01:16] <capttwinky> @ST47 you can also use aptitude from a command line
[01:17] <musikgoat|main> Flynsarmy: i think this is the one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/75324
[01:18] <capttwinky> @flannel - after reviewing the doccument that the robot sent, it looks like the problem would be with the differences between the users' profile and root's profile, which would not be an issue with using synaptic
[01:19] <porthose> can rythmbox be removed without screwing up your system to much?
[01:20] <God_Like> porthose, yes
[01:20] <porthose> God_
[01:20] <capttwinky> @porthose how do you define "screwing up"
[01:20] <mroc> opening my question up to a wider audience:  how can i force the wl module to load before the ssb module is loaded?
[01:21] <gino> capttwinky, thats what I'm thinking....
[01:21] <porthose> capttwinky: by breaking other stuff
[01:21] <porthose> God_Like: thxs:)
[01:21] <capttwinky> @porthose if you just remove the rhythmbx package, you should be ok
[01:22] <porthose> capttwinky: cool :)
[01:23] <xtmnx> after googling I'm about to believe that it's impossible to have dual display with different res with proprietary ATI driver
[01:23] <Flannel> capttwinky: The issue isn't in running the program, but logging in after using it.  Some things can save stuff to /home/username/ with root permissions, which can sometimes make things go poorly in the future.
[01:23] <capttwinky> @porthose  - if you want a different player though, I would probably install that first
[01:23] <xtmnx> somebody woudl do well to prove otherwise :(
[01:23] <justin_> I have a keyboard layout problem
[01:23] <porthose> capttwinky: already have it installed :)
[01:23] <capttwinky> @flannel which is not something that synaptic does
[01:23] <justin_> when I switch from qwerty to dvorak it switches fine using right and left alt press, when I try to switch back it won
[01:23] <justin_> won't
[01:24] <musikgoat|main> mroc: i'm not too familiar with it, but you can set udev rules to load the modules in a certain order
[01:24] <Flannel> capttwinky: Just suggest the use of gksu with graphical programs always in this channel.  It's a good best practice, and some people don't know as much as you and its good to steer them the appropriate way so things don't bite them in the future.
[01:24] <dadda> Does Ubuntu have a built-in firewall that is active?
[01:24] <mroc> musikgoat|main: that goes well beyond my current knowledge.  thanks for the suggestion though.
[01:25] <D3RGPS31> how do i add an option to run a cd from grub
[01:25] <jexmex> I have installed unbuntu-restricted-extras but still cannot play wmv movie files, any ideas?

[01:27] <Nasra> any1 know if Magicjack work with Ubuntu ?
[01:27] <Nasra> or else..
[01:27] <jrib> dadda: iptables has no rules set by default so don't set any for eth1
[01:27] <God_Like> Nasra, lol
[01:27] <musikgoat|main> dadda: iptables, by default, has no restrictions, meaning it shouldn't be blocking anything
[01:27] <D3RGPS31> how do i add an option to run a cd from grub >.>
[01:27] <Nasra> Go_like: it does not recognize it....
[01:28] <Nasra> lol...God
[01:28] <God_Like> Nasra, all magicjack is is a sip device
[01:28] <God_Like> dont bother
[01:28] <dadda> So it most be ghosts in my windows machine then since I can ping my ubuntu machine from my windwos computer
[01:29] <jrib> dadda: check for yourself: sudo iptables -L
[01:29] <musikgoat|main> what cant you do dadda?
[01:29] <Nasra> God_Like : what Do I need in Wind*ws work fine..
[01:29] <Nasra> it's just plug and play
[01:29] <dadda> ping my windows machine from my ubuntu computer
[01:30] <God_Like> Nasra, most likly your not gonna get it to work, try google but its doubt full
[01:30] <jrib> dadda: check for a firewall on your windows computer then...
[01:30] <Nasra> okay
[01:30] <musikgoat|main> dadda: in the same subnet?
[01:30] <dadda> different subnets
[01:30] <Cpudan80> dadda: windows firewall filters ICMP (ping) traffic incoming
[01:30] <Nasra> let me google it
[01:30] <Cpudan80> by default anyway
[01:31] <dadda> yeah but i removed the software that runs the windows firewall including all drivers for it
[01:31] <dadda> so it should not be active
[01:31] <musikgoat|main> dadda: are you sure? windows firewall is built into the OS
[01:31] <HentaiUbuntu> so whats the problem you can't ping windows from ubuntu?
[01:32] <God_Like> dadda, you remove windows?
[01:32] <gino> HentaiUbuntu, any firewall running? Same subnet?
[01:32] <HentaiUbuntu> gino, what
[01:32] <dadda> no just the service and software that is incharge of running the windows firewall
[01:32] <dadda> so there should not be a windows firewall on that computer
[01:32] <musikgoat|main> dadda: what are the IP's and gateway settings of each?
[01:32] <HentaiUbuntu> dadda, may want to check again
[01:33] <xtmnx> spamming again in case anyone knows: is there a way to get different res dual display with ATI driver? :(
[01:33] <gino> trying to ping windows from ubuntu, is their a firewall on your windows pc?
[01:33] <dadda> no firewall at all disabled and removed the windows firewall
[01:33] <Nytrix> xtmnx, search "dual display ubuntu"

[01:38] <baz_> Zak28, please wait a little longer before repeating
[01:38] <dadda> but how do i ping and connect to a ftp server running on a network connected to eth1 with the subnet <IP_ADDRESS> while still useing my dhcp internet connection on eth0?
[01:38] <Zak28> im switcing desktorp and my progtams from desktorp one shows in desktorp 2 aswell :S
[01:39] <jin_122> I did this command, nothing happened
[01:39] <jin_122>  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[01:39] <kattollikisd> Hi... can't see the webcam on the emesene, I already have the SVN version, can someone help me out?
[01:39] <xtmnx> God_Like: can you help me with with the dual display thing (ATI) if you have an idea.
[01:39] <baz_> Zak28, where do they show up? on that bar at the bottom of the screen
[01:39] <kinja-sheep> rww: Yes.  That must be it but I don't recall using quotes.  What is it called so I can look it up in the future.
[01:39] <baz_> !repeat
[01:39] <prince_jammys> jin_122: still can't use apt-get ?
[01:39] <Zak28> baz_ : yeah
[01:39] <Nytrix> um whats the ip of the ftp?
[01:39] <prince_jammys> jin_122: that command kills any prog that was accessing the lockfile
[01:39] <rww> kinja-sheep: I don't think it has a specific name. The DISPLAY=":0" part is just setting an environment variable that applies to the commandname command.
[01:40] <baz_> right-click on an empty part of that bar, called "panel", and click properties. the option you are looking for is in there
[01:40] <Zak28> i know i changed it someweher "show content for all desktorps" but where i forgot :S
[01:40] <God_Like> xtmnx, priv msg please
[01:40] <baz_> Zak28, i just told you where
[01:40] <kinja-sheep> rww: Thank you very much.  I tried Display:0 and it didn't work.  Good thing you're on IRC.  Thanks again!  I'm constantly trying to remember this one.  I appreciate it. :)
[01:40] <jin_122> prince_jammys: it worked now, thank you !! you rocks !
[01:41] <prince_jammys> jin_122: cool
[01:41] <baz_> Zak28, oh man sorry, i know where it is
[01:41] <Zak28> where??
[01:41] <yothere1209> hello all
[01:42] <yothere1209> This is my first time in an IRC channel, it's pretty neat
[01:42] <kattollikisd> Hi... can't see the webcam on the emesene, I already have the trunk version, can someone help me out?
[01:42] <baz_> Zak28, do u see where the list of those windows in the bar begins... well right there there is a small thing with 3 horintal lines ontop of each other - right-click on that and go to porperties
[01:42] <yothere1209> I've resorted to this because the forum doesn't seen to be getting me anywhere
[01:42] <baz_> yothere1209, welcome to this world
[01:42] <rww> yothere1209: if you have a question, you can just go ahead and ask it in channel :)
[01:42] <Zak28> baz_: ahhhh neat thx :D
[01:43] <exodus_ms> yothere1209, cool, just ask your question, someone will help
[01:43] <yothere1209> I assume all I do is state my issue and if I interrupt anyones conversation that's okay so here goes: my keyboard does nothing on login and my mouse doesn't either
[01:43] <prince_jammys> yothere1209: write out the details of your problem, all on one line
[01:43] <baz_> Zak28, no problem
[01:43] <DIFH-iceroot> maybe it is a good idea to put an irc-java-client on top of the ubuntu-webpages so people can easy get support and the use of ubuntu is easier then installing an irc client and find the correct channel
[01:43] <usernameis> Can someone help me with logout/switch user in ubuntu 8.10?
[01:44] <DIFH-iceroot> usernameis: shell or gui?
[01:44] <rww> DIFH-iceroot: access to #ubuntu from most web-based clients is blocked because people abused them to spam and troll here. Mibbit still works because the ops can ban individual mibbit users.
[01:44] <usernameis> gui
[01:44] <Nytrix> !ask | usernameis
[01:44] <exodus_ms> yothere1209, what version of Ubuntu? Are you using a usb keyboard mouse
[01:44] <baz_> DIFH-iceroot, that would be cool. no site does it though, i am sure there is some difficulty to overcome, maybe stability
[01:44] <yothere1209> my keyboard does nothing on login and my mouse doesn't either. I can't hit alt+f1 and I'll get a full screen terminal and I can login that way but all i'm at is a big terminal, not my fun GUI
[01:44] <musikgoat|main> DIFH-iceroot: i don't like that idea, alot of common questions are answered in the forums
[01:44] <usernameis> well everytime i loggout or switch user the screen goes to black
[01:44] <usernameis> and i have to restart computer
[01:44] <DIFH-iceroot> musikgoat|main: i think all of the quetions here are answered in the forums or google
[01:44] <prince_jammys> yothere1209: sounds like X is misconfigured
[01:45] <Nytrix> !recover
[01:45] <exodus_ms> yothere1209, you can try    startx
[01:45] <usernameis> price-jammys, meaning?
[01:45] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: hm ok spam is a problem, but i still like the idea
[01:45] <musikgoat|main> DIFH-iceroot: yes, true, why should there be more repeats of the same question then?
[01:45] <musikgoat|main> sorry, this is offtopic really
[01:45] <baz_> is LVM tough to install/use on my home pc?
[01:45] <Nytrix> !spam
[01:45] <DIFH-iceroot> musikgoat|main: because ubuntu is a very easy distribution and maybe the support should be easy too
[01:45] <yothere1209> exodus: 8.10. it's a usb mouse, ps/2 keyboard...it all didnt' work one day after a bad shut down.
[01:46] <DIFH-iceroot> musikgoat|main: its not off-topic, its support related
[01:46] <yothere1209> all: I've tried start x. it told me to delete a file. I did. still no dice.
[01:46] <prince_jammys> usernameis: well, if your keyboard works fine from the console but it doesn't work when running X (the GUI), i'd suspect that X is misconfigured. PS: you can use tab completion to complete another person's nick, so they get highlighted. eg princ<tab key>
[01:47] <rww> DIFH-iceroot: If you'd like to discuss with the channel ops about getting web-based clients unbanned, ask in #ubuntu-ops. Without that, your idea isn't going to work. Either way, meta-discussion like this /is/ offtopic for this channel.
[01:47] <usernameis> i have no clue what you mean, i am just a newbie
[01:47] <Yud_Zroc> !puregnome
[01:47] <mroc> can anyone tell me how to force module wl to load before ssb?  i know nothing about setting udev rules, and blacklisting ssb doesn't seem to work from what i've read.  please?
[01:47] <DIFH-iceroot> rww: ok didnt know that channel
[01:47] <prince_jammys> usernameis: are you on IRC from another computer?
[01:47] <yothere1209> ok. Thanks for the tip prince_jammys. It's nice to be able to talk to people about this.
[01:47] <prince_jammys> usernameis: crap, wrong nickname. sorru
[01:48] <prince_jammys> usernameis: the other message also wasn't for you
[01:48] <usernameis> no same computer, my problem is that when loggout is pressed, it does not go to login screen, the screens turns black and stays black
[01:48] <prince_jammys> usernameis: sorry, i got you mixed up with yothere1209
[01:48] <yothere1209> prince_jammys: still handy to know
[01:48] <musikgoat|main> mroc: if you blacklist them both, then they will load in order from /etc/modules   have you tried that?
[01:48] <usernameis> prince_jammys: ok.
[01:49] <musikgoat|main> mroc: make sure you add them in the order you want them to load.
[01:49] <mroc> musikgoat|main: from what i've read, it seems blacklisting ssb is not effective because it gets called by other things anyway
[01:49] <Yud_Zroc> !symbolic link
[01:49] <Yud_Zroc> grr
[01:49] <prince_jammys> yothere1209: have you EVER gotten X to work?
[01:49] <yothere1209> so if my x is misconfigured, how do I reconfigure it? and by misconfigured do you mean that the configuration file doesn't know what input to read from?
[01:50] <SuspectZero> if i want to open firefox from run, what command would i use?
[01:50] <rww> SuspectZero: umm. "firefox" should work
[01:50] <God_Like> SuspectZero, firefox
[01:50] <glenrock> SuspectZero: firefox
[01:50] <exodus_ms> SuspectZero, If you want to start Firefox from the terminal type   firefox
[01:50] <God_Like> lol owned
[01:50] <SuspectZero> oh im sorry. i messed up that question
[01:50] <SuspectZero> mozilla -remote openurl(http://www.theweathernetwork.com/tv/ontv_platformdist_iframe_en.php)
[01:51] <usernameis> prince_jammys: do you know, how i can fix this? pm when you are free.
[01:51] <SuspectZero> thats what i want to open. i tried replacing mozilla with firefox but no dice.
[01:51] <prince_jammys> yothere1209: you can try to a)first backup the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and then b) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:51] <glenrock> SuspectZero: firefox http://www.theweathernetwork.com/tv/ontv_platformdist_iframe_en.php
[01:51] <prince_jammys> usernameis: sorry, i don't do pm
[01:51] <usernameis> ok.
[01:51] <usernameis> then can you address me?
[01:51] <yothere1209> prince_jammys: oh yes, everything ran fine until the computer wouldn't work one day while on so I turned it off using the power button. When it came back up it did a scan of the disks, told me to forsibly do a scan of the disks which I did, it fixed a bunch of files and when it gave me the login screen no dice.
[01:51] <SuspectZero> ah perfect
[01:51] <SuspectZero> thanks
[01:51] <prince_jammys> usernameis: the problem is that i don't know the solution to your problem! if i did, i would have said something
[01:51] <musikgoat|main> mroc: have you tried it?
[01:51] <musikgoat|main> mroc: it wont hurt
[01:52] <usernameis> ok thank you.
[01:52] <Derick_D> how to install aix simulator on ubuntu?
[01:53] <prince_jammys> usernameis: in the meantime, google returns many hits for: 'ubuntu switch user black screen'
[01:53] <yothere1209> prince_jammys: so I'm in the terminal and i figure to backup the file I'll just copy it to another location
[01:53] <usernameis> ok
[01:53] <prince_jammys> usernameis: see if there's something there
[01:54] <DIFH-iceroot> Derick_D: what file is it? *.deb, *.rpm, *.tar.gz?
[01:54] <prince_jammys> yothere1209: yes, make a copy
[01:54] <prince_jammys> yothere1209: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
[01:54] <mroc> musikgoat|main: fair point.  i think i'll get around to trying it tomorrow.  for now i just wrote a quick script to run the commands for removing and reloading in the correct order.  thanks for the responses.
[01:54] <mun> does anyone know how to change the colour of the menu (with File, Edit, etc.)? i've tried changing themes from Appearence Preference, but it's still the same.
[01:55] <musikgoat|main> mroc: thats another way to do it, by far a hack, but it does what you need
[01:56] <Derick_D> on Ubuntu(i386), how to build aix PPC environment?
[01:56] <mroc> musikgoat|main: it does what i need for now - it's not my laptop, and i'm going away for the weekend, so it's at least an easy way to have it work for someone who knows far less than i do.
[01:56] <musikgoat|main> mroc: the way i understand it udev controls driver loading, if its blacklisted, then /etc/modules would be the only other place that they could be loaded from
[01:56] <redvamp128> mun:  right click on the panel -- choose properties- then background tab
[01:56] <bernz> mun, probably check 'System | Prefs | Appearances
[01:56] <musikgoat|main> mroc: sounds good
[01:56] <gino> wish me luck guys, i'm restarting a server for the first time and it's 2 hours away
[01:56] <redvamp128> mun:  otherwise if not specified it uses system theme colors
[01:57] <musikgoat|main> gl gino
[01:57] <mroc> musikgoat|main: you understand better than i do, i'm sure.  my info was based on posts by others trying to solve this same problem (thank you broadcom).
[01:57] <dadda> Guys, thank you either way for your attention, help and suggestions!
[01:57] <wildbat_> how do i change the LANGUAGE in locale?
[01:57] <gino> also its a termian server, so if it doesn't restart im screwed
[01:58] <prince_jammys> !locale > wildbat_
[01:59] <gino> phew! it worked
[01:59] <redvamp128> mun:  and if that does not work then you can-- open appearence theme- then customize then color box.
[01:59] <bernz> mun, and then choose 'Customize...' and keep drilling down through to the "selected menu item" or similar description's color, and change away
[02:01] <bernz> mun: full click path: System | Preferences | Appearance | Customize... | Colors | Selected items (background) color button
[02:02] <kingnothing> i'm adding a 1TB drive to my desktop system and need to pick a file system. what should I go with?
[02:03] <musikgoat|main> kingnothing: for media?  XFS
[02:04] <kingnothing> yeah, for media
[02:04] <kingnothing> why XFS over ext3 or reiser?
[02:04] <unop> kingfishr, for stability - EXT3
[02:04] <musikgoat|main> kingnothing: xfs is one of the quicker file systems for large media journaling, there are lots of comparisons out there
[02:05] <baz_> hey, I am re-installing my OS (downgrading to 32bit), and will therefore need to rebuild my software RAID drives. After booting with the livecd and installing mdadm, what *mdadm --create* command would I run to re-create this RAID config (output of /proc/mdstat): http://paste.ubuntu.com/123613/
[02:05] <kingnothing> is reiser something i should consider or does it boil down to ext3 vs xfs?
[02:05] <dreamy> hello all
[02:05] <wildbat> but there is no localeconf package....
[02:05] <musikgoat|main> kingnothing: reiserfs is supposed to be the quickest for alot of small files
[02:05] <yothere1209> test
[02:06] <DIFH-iceroot> kingnothing: sorry for this but raiserfs is a KILLER-Filesystem
[02:06] <musikgoat|main> ba dum bum clang
[02:06] <DIFH-iceroot> kingnothing: but it is very fast for a lot of small files
[02:07] <dreamy> anyone can help me with this, how do u make shure my tftpd is ready to work ?  with the port open and listening?
[02:07] <madmike> anyone know what this error is?  It makes pidgin hang as soon as it logs my accounts on:    http://paste.ubuntu.com/123614/
[02:07] <dreamy> using netstat?
[02:07] <madmike> and yes, I already tried the pidgin channel, no one answered
[02:07] <DIFH-iceroot> dreamy: connecting to the ftp?
[02:08] <dreamy> DIFH-iceroot: Tftp i mean
[02:08] <_VIM_> didnt the creator of Reiser filesystem go to prison for murdering his ex wife? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Reiser
[02:08] <musikgoat|main> tftp != ftp
[02:08] <kingnothing> musikgoat|main: ok, thanks. i'm actually surprised more people didn't jump in on that discussion. i was half expecting to be called a troll for even bringing it up
[02:08] <rww> _VIM_: that's heavily offtopic for this channel. Try #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:08] <DIFH-iceroot> ah ok dont know tftp, though it is a noral ftp-server
[02:08] <dreamy> musikgoat|main:  let me try that..
[02:08] <Anacranom> dreamy, internal only right?
[02:08] <deco> Debian 5.0 FTW!!!!!!!!! ubuntu is for noobs!!!
[02:08] <_VIM_> well you guys were talking bout Reiser :P
[02:08] <dreamy> Anacranom: to make PXE on a lan
[02:08] <jrib> deco: do you have a support question?
[02:09] <dreamy> i get error tftpd time out
[02:09] <deco> jrib; yes
[02:09] <musikgoat|main> kingnothing: i was biting my tongue :-P
[02:09] <musikgoat|main> j/k
[02:09] <dreamy> tftp time out i mean
[02:09] <dreamy> when tryng to boot from lan on my lap
[02:09] <deco> jrib; why is Debian better than ubuntu
[02:09] <jrib> deco: then please ask it and stay on-topic (ubuntu support)
[02:10] <bartek> hi quick question. Whenevever I get an update through ubuntu's update manager, is there somewhere (or even a site) I can go to take a look at the changes? I know I can add my own repos, but atleast to see the info for ubuntu's official ones
[02:11] <bartek> Like my most recent one updated the flash player package, so Im curious what this did
[02:11] <musikgoat|main> bartek: usually there are links in the update manager
[02:11] <jrib> bartek: in update manager, there's an option to see the changelogs
[02:11] <dreamy> Anacranom: i dont have ubuntu i got debian, what should net stat say .. to know if everything with the tftpdeamon is ready to go ?
[02:11] <dreamy> or anyother tag
[02:11] <rww> bartek: I think update manager shows that usually. There's also the package apt-listchanges, which might help.
[02:12] <bartek> thanks.
[02:12] <unop> bartek, there's also http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[02:13] <rww> bartek: oh, yeah. If you locate the package on packages.ubuntu.com, there's a link to the changelog on the right side of the package details page
[02:13] <mun> i've tried customising the colour box, but it's still the same.
[02:13] <kingnothing> on the topic of adding this new hard drive... i don't know why it happened, but my disk labels changed when I added the new, 3rd drive. I use sata for everything, and previously channels sata 1 and 2 corresponded to sda and sdb. after adding that 3rd drive, sata 3 and 4 are sda and sdb, and sata 1 and 2 are sdc and sdd. seemed easier to me to just move the cables around to go with how it used to be, but it seems weird that eve
[02:13] <mun> redvamp128,  i've tried customising the colour box, but it's still the same.
[02:13] <bartek> very cool, thanks guys :)
[02:13] <Pici> bartek: apt-listchanges should also give you the changelogs after you download the packages.
[02:14] <dreamy> DIFH-iceroot: hi  u there ?
[02:14] <bartek> Pici: that command does not work?
[02:14] <musikgoat|main> kingnothing: sounds like something wierd with acpi, i can see how that would be annoying
[02:14] <Pici> bartek: Its not a command, its a package.
[02:14] <wwalker> how do I get Ubuntu to show me what is occurring during boot rather than just a pretty splash screen?
[02:14] <exodus_ms> bartek, sudo apt-get install apt-listchanges
[02:14] <yothere1209> keyboard and mouse won't work after restart. Network also not working. Can get to a terminal and type in there but no GUI keyboard or mouse.
[02:15] <bartek> ah :)
[02:15] <redvamp128> mun I will take you a screenshot of what I changed to change mine though -- I will have to change it back.
[02:15] <gino> simple question, how do I tell what partitions are being mounted and where?
[02:15] <yothere1209> anyone have any ideas?
[02:15] <musikgoat|main> kingnothing: could there be a bios setting to prioritize your sata bus'es?
[02:15] <musikgoat|main> gino: mount
[02:15] <unop> gino, cat /etc/{fstab,mtab}
[02:15] <kingnothing> musikgoat|main: i took a look through the bios but didn't see anything that stood out to me as a way to prioritize the channels
[02:15] <rww> gino: "mount" will show all mounted partitions and where they're mounted. sudo fdisk -l will show all partitions on all disks, whether mounted or not. /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab contain settings for automatic mounting and other mount settings.
[02:16] <kingnothing> musikgoat|main: i can prioritize boot order, but that was it
[02:16] <gino> i love asking simple questions
[02:16] <gino> also a note for sys admins: fuji printers SUCK
[02:16] <redvamp128> mun:  http://imagebin.ca/view/ey9FQJS.html  the window is what I clicked on to change the color-- just don't forget to click ok.
[02:16] <musikgoat|main> kingnothing: if you prioritize your 3rd channel to boot first... i wonder if that would affect the connections it makes to the OS, beyond my knowledge tho
[02:17] <mun> redvamp128, thanks a lot
[02:17] <jexmex> holy crap I am getting my ass reamed by a customer, this sucks....anyways
[02:17] <jexmex> vlc still does not play wmv
[02:17] <elementz> how can i find out which process has opened a specific file? eg, file foo is not readable, since it has been opened already. lsof | grep myfile  seems to not work, at least i don't get an output
[02:18] <redvamp128> jexmex:  did you enable multiverse and also restricted and install win32codecs?
[02:18] <kingnothing> musikgoat|main: if i hadn't already dealt with my cable maze i'd consider playing with it to find out lol
[02:18] <leo> jexmex you need thw win32 codec package
[02:18] <[Tequila]> Hello guys, is there a way to log stuff on the clip board in a .txt ?
[02:19] <sezoom> \help
[02:19] <unop> [Tequila],  xclip -o > clipboard.txt
[02:19] <frewsxcv_> mozilla labs live is right now :-) http://air.mozilla.com/
[02:19] <Cyntek> when adding a second hard on ubuntu-server, and afterwards creating a filesystem, and then making multiple dir /photos, /documents, then mounting them. Why does all the files i upload happen to be all the dir i created?
[02:19] <aitd> Tequila: kNote .. right click and create .txt from clipboard
[02:20] <ansichart> I have Ubuntu Server LTS 8.04, and I need to run this program that requires a graphical user interface, and it uses the JavaRunTime library.  I am thinking I should set up a VNC server on there, and but I am not sure how this would work, since I don't think I have a GDE on Ubuntu Server LTS.
[02:20] <jin_122> how do i fix this? E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[02:20] <jin_122> e-jat: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[02:20] <musikgoat|main> jin_122: use sudo
[02:20] <gorlak> i have a question pertaining to how nfs and file copying works vs windows file copying. specifically if I copy a file under windows to/from a remote directory, the file copies almost instantly. however with NFS, it downloads to my computer then copies itself back to the server. is there a setting, somewhere for this? or whats actually going on there.
[02:20] <[Tequila]> unop: aitd: thx
[02:21] <rww> ansichart: you can install gnome on Ubuntu Server. Is that what you're asking?
[02:21] <jin_122> Musick: Swhat do you mean use use sudo ?
[02:21] <musikgoat|main> jin_122: sudo apt-get...
[02:21] <musikgoat|main> !sudo | jin_122
[02:21] <blueeyez> I use firefox as browser, i want to install java plugin. Is The icedTea web browser plugin or GCj web Browser Plugin or The Java (TM) Plug-in, java SE 6 best?
[02:21] <ansichart> yea, but I only need to do this temporary... just the installation is in Java, and the rest can run from a terminal.  I don't want to install Gnome or even Xfce... is this possible/
[02:22] <jrib> blueeyez: depends on what you value
[02:22] <ansichart> I mean, just the instalation requires a graphical user interface.
[02:22] <rww> ansichart: you could just install the "xorg" package. That'd install just the X server, and not gnome.
[02:22] <blueeyez> play games and be on chats
[02:22] <usser> ansichart, that is messed up... whoever wrote the installer
[02:22] <ansichart> usser, it's a platform independant bot for b.net, BNU-Bot
[02:23] <ansichart> Most people use it on Windows or Mac
[02:23] <ansichart> rww, thank you
[02:23] <ansichart> rww, and I could VNC into that right?
[02:23] <rww> ansichart: if you installed a vnc server, yeah. Do you need instructions for that?
[02:23] <orm> hello!
[02:23] <usser> ansichart, use x11vnc its easy to get going
[02:24] <orm> is this the main channel on this server?
[02:24] <saborlas1> Hello, all. I don't suppose anyone could help me with a baffling problem?
[02:24] <unop> !freenode | orm
[02:24] <musikgoat|main> orm: no, #freenode could be... since its freenodes servers
[02:24] <rww> orm: this is the Ubuntu technical support channel. For general chat, see #defocus. For server help, see #freenode. For non-support Ubuntu discussion, see #ubuntu-offtopic.
[02:25] <ansichart> usser, thanks
[02:25] <musikgoat|main> saborlas1: just ask away
[02:25] <orm> sorry im a newbe
[02:25] <rww> ansichart: I'd also recommend x11vnc. Instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC#x11vnc

[02:26] <usser> CapaH, skype
[02:26] <saborlas1> Long story short: after fiddling around trying to install an X11 cursor set, my computer went through a pseudo-shutdown where everything but my wallpaper went away. Upon rebooting, I get the "display has reset itself 6 times in the last 90 seconds, most likely something bad is happening" message
[02:26] <rww> !skype | CapaH
[02:26] <CapaH> usser: Tried it - not working anything else?
[02:26] <rww> CapaH: You could use Ekiga and your windows friend could use Netmeeting.
[02:26] <usser> CapaH, theres a gnome-meeting app thats is basically msn copy
[02:27] <usser> CapaH, ah yea it was ekiga sorry

[02:27] <mun> redvamp128, hi there. thanks, i've fixed it now. one question though: if i use a dark theme, is it normal for submit buttons on webpages shown on firefox to turn black as well?
[02:28] <mun> in that case, the button texts are blended into the black background
[02:28] <jexmex> oops sorry guys, was busy getting a ear ful, I will check that now
[02:28] <saborlas1> I ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -xserver-xorg" to supposedly rewrite my xorg.conf file, but I still can only boot by using a live CD
[02:28] <yothere1209> I can only use the terminal. I'm at my xorg config file and I'd like to edit it. I can't use any GUI, how do I open the file?
[02:29] <rww> yothere1209: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:29] <_VIM_> thats where vi comes in yothere1209
[02:29] <_VIM_> or that
[02:29] <yothere1209> test
[02:29] <gorlak> i have a question on how nfs reads writes/transfers files. i have a remote server, if i move/copy a file from one folder to the next it copies the file to my laptop first then sends it back to the server. is this normal? or is there a setting that keeps the file on the server instead. like smb/windows file copying does.
[02:29] <exodus_ms> _VIM_, are you willing to walk him through how to use vi :P
[02:29] <gorlak> reason being is, i have 4-8 gig files i would like to move around on my remote server, and it would take a very long time to move them. unless i do it from vnc on the server itself
[02:29] <CapaH> Skype not working, Ekiga+Netmeeting not working -- any other alternatives? I am trying to video conference with a friend on Windows XP - any suggestions?
[02:30] <saborlas1> nothing I find on the forums is of any help
[02:30] <redvamp128> mun:  depends on the theme of firefox
[02:30] <musikgoat|main> gorlak: ssh to the remote server and cp/mv
[02:30] <usser> gorlak, i think samba does the same thing, the transfer from one remote dir to another still goes through your computer
[02:30] <musikgoat|main> usser is right
[02:30] <yothere1209> thanks
[02:31] <yothere1209> rww: thanks
[02:31] <mun> redvamp128, i'm using the default theme. when i use a dark theme for ubuntu, the submit buttons will turn black too.
[02:31] <jexmex> hmm, cannot find win32 codec package, how do I ensure multiverse is enabled
[02:31] <gorlak> hm i maybe wrong then, i was always under the impression that the smb just did it serverside. is there any reason why it has to go through your computer?
[02:31] <rww> !multiverse | jexmex
[02:31] <redvamp128> mun:  I think if you use the default one it will dim/change with desktop settings , but if you use a custom theme(for firefox) it depends on how that theme is set up
[02:31] <gorlak> cp/mv is a idea tho, i may do that.
[02:31] <rww> !info w32codecs
[02:31] <musikgoat|main> gorlak: client/server relationship, just the way it is
[02:31] <_VIM_> not tonight i got my own probs :(   getting I/O errors bout ready to toss this computer out, I think it's due to i formated it LVN but I dont know.
[02:32] <usser> gorlak, theres no other way to do it, you dont access remote computer directly sort of speak, you only can upload/download stuff
[02:32] <redvamp128> mun:  if you don't want it to do that you may wish to change the firefox theme.
[02:32] <gorlak> makes sense.
[02:32] <gorlak> well thanks :)
[02:32] <jexmex> multiverse is checked in synaptic
[02:33] <musikgoat|main> jexmex: what are you looking for?
[02:33] <mun> redvamp128, do you know of any that defines its button colours?
[02:33] <rww> jexmex: oh, duh, I forgot. It's a medibuntu package. You'll need to add that repository first.
[02:33] <yothere1209> where do I tell my GUI, gnome on Ubuntu 8.10 where to read input from? I figured I'd modify the xorg file in etc but there doesn't seem to be anything in there about where input is being read from
[02:33] <rww> !medibuntu | jexmex
[02:34] <yothere1209> my terminal works but my mouse and keyboard don't work in login screen of GUI
[02:34] <redvamp128> jexmex: you may have to add medibuntu in order to install w32codecs
[02:34] <yothere1209> anyone have any ideas?
[02:34] <jexmex> I downloaded those and put them in /usr/local/lib/codecs
[02:34] <redvamp128> !codecs | jexmex
[02:36] <ansichart> I installed the xorg package and the x11vnc package, and then I tried starting up the vnc server, and I get an `error x11vnc was unable to open the X DISPLAY: ":0"'
[02:36] <redvamp128> mun:  you could maybe try Gnome Classic... I think that changes the boxes.. Search Add-ons :: Firefox Add-ons <https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=&cat=2%2C0&as=true&vfuz=true&appid=1&lver=3.0&hver=any&atype=0&pid=2&lup=&pp=20&sort=>
[02:36] <maxagaz> how to send html formatted text with jabber ?
[02:37] <saborlas1> ...have I stumped the entire channel?
[02:37] <yothere1209> is it possible to start up a task that I typically would start up in gnome from the terminal? I'd like to start my bittorrenting client from the terminal without touching gnome (because I can't)
[02:37] <redvamp128> jexmex:  I think this is why you don't have the w32codecs ... Medibuntu - Community Ubuntu Documentation <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu>
[02:37] <rww> ansichart: What command did you use to start the x11vnc server?
[02:38] <ansichart> # x11vnc -safer -usepw -forever -display :0
[02:38] <rww> ansichart: try it without the -display :0 switch.
[02:38] <Daft_Punk> is there a way to have the icon text (for the icons on desktop) to be readable on light AND dark backgrounds? (like in windows)
[02:38] <MattJ> maxagaz: It is possible in Pidgin
[02:39] <musikgoat|main> yothere1209: yes, as long as the client doesn't need the gui
[02:39] <ansichart> If you don't supply the -display :0, it will do that by default, and I get the same error.
[02:39] <musikgoat|main> yothere1209: just type the name of the app in your terminal
[02:39] <yothere1209> thanks
[02:39] <rww> ansichart: hmm. You could start an X session with "startx" first, then do x11vnc.
[02:40] <musikgoat|main> yothere1209: if you want it to be dropped to the background put an & after the name
[02:40] <yothere1209> damnit, it's needs the damn display
[02:40] <ansichart> rww, :P  That might help
[02:40] <yothere1209> musikgoat|main: it it possible to open the sucker up in the background?
[02:40] <stickboy> I'm trying to install MySQL Workbench in ubuntu but I have 64bit and so I have to install from source, but http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-source-files-in-ubuntu.html doesn't seem to be working, any ideas?
[02:40] <rww> ansichart: passing the -create switch to x11vnc might work instead.
[02:40] <tripps> anyone ever rip a video off hulu using linux?
[02:41] <huwenfeng> hi all, i just installed a pure english ubuntu 8.04 system. and in the system -> Administration -> language Support, there's no chinese supported! how can i add chinese support in it ??? how ?
[02:41] <[Tequila]> Hello guys, is there a way to log stuff on the clip board in a .txt ........ in bulk? ex if 15 links are on the clip board i can transfer it all in a txt
[02:41] <rww> stickboy: elaborate on "doesn't seem to be working"?
[02:41] <jrib> [Tequila]: you can use xclip
[02:41] <redvamp128> tripps:  that would be hard to do because of the segmented with adds
[02:41] <stickboy> rww: ./configure gives a no such file or directory.
[02:42] <[Tequila]> Jrib: i tried but it seems to only copy the 1st item on the clipboard list
[02:42] <rww> huwenfeng: try installing language-support-zh
[02:42] <jrib> [Tequila]: what clipboard list?  There's only one thing stored in the clipboard afaik
[02:42] <redvamp128> tripps:  that and the segments are tripped at the end of the adds. (but I would not advise doing that)
[02:42] <bamhm182> does anyone here know much about autorun.inf files?
[02:42] <ansichart> The startx works
[02:42] <huwenfeng> rww: just install this will be OK?
[02:42] <SuspectZero> hey there. another quick question
[02:42] <ansichart> rww, Thank you
[02:43] <SuspectZero> hmm this is weird. when i type the command "firefox -remote 'openUrl(http://www.google.ca/,new-tab)'" into console it works but when i type it into the run command field it doesnt do anything. any ideas why?
[02:43] <[Tequila]> jrib: the clip board keeps a history
[02:43] <rww> huwenfeng: I don't know, since I don't use chinese input, but it looks like it should. If you speak Chinese, you could ask in the Chinese-language Ubuntu channel; seems like they'd know :)
[02:43] <jrib> [Tequila]: documentation?  How do you know this?
[02:43] <unop> SuspectZero, make a script that runs that command and call the script instead?
[02:44] <rww> ansichart: no problem :)
[02:44] <jin_122> when i did a sudo aptget install xserver-xgl . this line show up .. how do i fix it ?
[02:44] <jin_122> e-jat: Couldn't find package xerver-xgl
[02:44] <SuspectZero> unop, i might but thts getting way more complicated than it needs to be. what ever. i'll just ignore the whole -remote 'openurl' thing and just do "firefox url"
[02:44] <jin_122> e-jat: Couldn't find package xserver-xgl
[02:44] <[Tequila]> Jrib: right click and you can choose how much history is save ex: you can have like 8 links on the clipboard
[02:45] <Iron_Chef> hi
[02:45] <Iron_Chef> what's the package for opera?
[02:45] <labeau> ubuntu has sexy wallpapers :)
[02:45] <Grimmjow-Laptop> im having trouble with my graphics driver on my laptop
[02:45] <usser> Iron_Chef, just get a .deb file from opera.com
[02:45] <labeau>  byebye
[02:45] <Iron_Chef> usser, oh ta
[02:45] <rww> Iron_Chef: Opera also has a repository: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[02:46] <jrib> [Tequila]: no, you must be using some helper program for that
[02:46] <Iron_Chef> rww, cheers
[02:47] <rww> jin_122: Looks like the xserver-xgl package was removed from Intrepid.
[02:47] <[Tequila]> I need a way to log stuff on the clip board in a .txt ........ in bulk? ex if 15 links are on the clip board i can transfer it all in a txt .. or in real time?

[02:48] <dolo> hey i have an odd problem
[02:48] <whisperkiller> can someone help me recover some data on a failed windows install using livecd so I can install linux on this drive?
[02:48] <Daft_Punk> is there a way to have the icon text (for the icons on desktop) to be readable on light AND dark backgrounds? (like in windows)
[02:48] <whisperkiller> i cannot seem to mount this drive
[02:50] <dolo> i have onboard sound that isnt very good and then i have my sound blaster sound card which does work very good but each time i reboot the sound seems to switch from one to the other
[02:50] <dolo> so yesterday i was listening using my sound blaster but now i rebooted and i only getting sound from the onboard
[02:50] <Grimmjow-Laptop> i tried to run the latest linux display driver http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_180.29.html
[02:50] <donavan01> Ive got what probably sounds like a stupid question ... Is there any reason why my PC would show 2 CPUs in the system monitor  if there werent 2 cores ?   my Eee has an atom processor that is showing up with 2 cpus and im wondering if I got the wrong CPU (bonus)
[02:51] <rww> dolo: Have you considered just disabling your onboard sound? Most BIOS's have an option for that.
[02:51] <redvamp128> dolo:  just go into your bios and disable the onboard sound. (if that is not possible) you can go into system -- preference sound then change the device to the other one not the onboard sound.
[02:51] <Grimmjow-Laptop> but it said i dont have a supported device installed
[02:51] <rww> donavan01: which eeePC model do you have?
[02:51] <donavan01> rww:  its a 900a
[02:51] <dolo> well i thought that if i set it to sound blaster in prefrences it would just go
[02:51] <J-a-k-e> hey all, do we have any audio nutters here who run a decent amp/speakers combo or headphones through their sound card? what card do you use and does sound quality compare with that of windows?
[02:51] <dolo> but today i rebooted 3 times and still going to the onboard
[02:52] <dolo> id like to get sound blaster working before i disable the onboard
[02:52] <Grimmjow-Laptop> GeForce Go 7400 is listed on the supported products page
[02:52] <saborlas1> Anyone? "Display server has reset 6 times in the last 90 seconds. Most likely something bad is happening." error...
[02:52] <donavan01> rww:  its supposed to have a n270  which I thought was only a single core but the system monitor shows 2 CPUs
[02:53] <dolo> does it have hyperthreading?
[02:53] <rww> donavan01: I think the n270 supports hyperthreading, which is probably why.
[02:53] <musikgoat|main> yothere1209: you could use screen
[02:53] <musikgoat|main> !screen | yothere1209
[02:53] <musikgoat|main> ubottu, where are you
[02:53] <musikgoat|main> yothere1209: screen is like a virtual terminal,  so you could run screen bittorrentclient    and it would open and look like normal,  but you would then type ctrl+d  then a    and it would go to the background...  then you would type   screen -raAd  to go back to it
[02:53] <FloodBot1> musikgoat|main: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:55] <maxagaz> how to get the ip of the switch my computer is connected to ?
[02:55] <jin_122> hi, i downloaded the xorg-server (xgl) folder. how do i install it?
[02:55] <rww> nomiculus: channel ##c
[02:55] <nomiculus> ##c?
[02:55] <nomiculus> or #c
[02:55] <nomiculus> ok
[02:55] <lstarnes> nomiculus: ##c
[02:55] <nomiculus> ok thankyou very muchly lstarnes
[02:55] <lstarnes> nomiculus: also, make sure you have build-essential installed
[02:55] <nomiculus> i have that ty
[02:55] <rrplay> maxagaz, :: ifconfig
[02:56] <lstarnes> nomiculus: plus certain programs may require the -dev packages for the libraries that they use
[02:56] <Grimmjow-Laptop> can somebody help me out here?   DCC chat would be appreciated
[02:56] <rww> If you're having Ubuntu specific problems, you could ask in here also.
[02:56] <alex6164> im still wondering about my java problem.
[02:56] <maxagaz> rrplay: where does it give the switch address ?
[02:56] <jin_122> I got the xorg-server 1.1.99 folders extracted. how do i install this? what command do i use?
[02:56] <lstarnes> Grimmjow-Laptop: it's preferred that you keep things in the channel.  also, most users use regular private messages not dcc
[02:57] <tritium> jin_122: why are you doing that?  ubuntu users X.org by default
[02:57] <tritium> uses*
[02:57] <rww> alex6164: Are you looking for the Java web browser plugin, or a Java programming environment, or...
[02:57] <jin_122> because i had trouble installing my xgl .. it says that it's not found
[02:57] <alex6164> hmm
[02:57] <alex6164> well lets try the web browser plugin
[02:57] <ecret2> using make now, it throws errors when theres a comma at the end of an enumerator list . I think gcc is more strict or something.  : "error: comma at end of enumerator list".  Can I turn this check off?
[02:57] <donavan01> alex6164:  I assume you have tried using synatic to uninstall and reinstall java
[02:57] <alex6164> yea
[02:58] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: that cant make it easy to follow a single issue
[02:58] <jin_122> tritium: this comes up when i did the sudo get install E: Couldn't find package xorg-server
[02:58] <rww> alex6164: are you using 32-bit or 64-bit Ubuntu?
[02:58] <alex6164> hold

[02:59] <SuperMoopies> Hello, for some reason VLC (videolan) doesn't have audio.  Any ideas what to do /

[02:59] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  Have you tried using an earlier kernel ? You can at boot hit the escape key -- then you should be able to select an earlier one.
[02:59] <rww> alex6164: Have you tried installing sun-java6-plugin ?
[02:59] <lstarnes> Grimmjow-Laptop: if you use nickname highlighting it can make things somewhat easier to follow.  Also, with private messages, if the person you're talking to has no solution, someone else in the channel who might have one wouldn't be able to see the conversation
[02:59] <alex6164> i did
[02:59] <rww> alex6164: Okay. Which web browser are you trying to use it with?

[03:05] <rrplay> maxagaz, ;)   great even better   gotta go
[03:05] <alex6164> @rrw, it came up gray. So whats that mean? I dont have it or..
[03:05] <rww> Maahes: I'm not sure. I think it's because debian-installer uses tasks, and Ubuntu's installer is based off d-i.
[03:05] <lasivian> I tried ifconfig down but it's child still shows up under iwconfig
[03:06] <rww> alex6164: I'm not sure. Try running firefox in a terminal and see if you get any error output when you go to the test page.
[03:06] <alex6164> and... how do i go about doing that
[03:06] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: now im using whatever Ubuntu 8.10 installed
[03:07] <rww> alex6164: open a Terminal, type "firefox" into it, open the tester page in firefox, look in the Terminal and see if messages appeared in it.
[03:07] <redvamp128> lasivian:  sudo ifdown eth# (number of the card) ? That should turn it off
[03:07] <alex6164> kk
[03:07] <SIM_EU> how to use update-rc.d ?
[03:07] <Surlent777> oh, and redvamp, I got rid of the older kernels (except the second most recent) but then I forgot to reflect that in menu.lst. So I can't get anywhere aside from the newest =/
[03:07] <lstarnes> Grimmjow-Laptop: are you currently having any issues with that driver?
[03:07] <thos37> recently i upgraded my system to 8.10, and now it won't boot, anyone heard of this?
[03:07] <Daft_Punk>  is there a way to have the icon text (for the icons on desktop) to be readable on light AND dark backgrounds? (like in windows)
[03:07] <alex6164> no errors
[03:07] <lstarnes> SIM_EU: did you check its man page?
[03:08] <SIM_EU> not really
[03:08] <rww> alex6164: are you sure the java applet loaded? grey boxes sometimes mean it's still loading.
[03:08] <rww> SIM_EU: that would be a good start.
[03:08] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  then you may have by doing that-- done the proverbial "shot yourself in the foot"
[03:08] <SIM_EU> but i remenber i use to use some other command and check all the levels
[03:08] <alex6164> okay a box popped up
[03:08] <alex6164> i clicked okay
[03:08] <SIM_EU> i dont remenber if it was update-rc.d
[03:08] <alex6164> now it says java <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:09] <rww> !who | General note
[03:09] <rww> alex6164: okay, looks like you have the Java plugin working, then.
[03:09] <Surlent777> redvamp128: What I don't understand is that it was working fine, and even though I hadn't messed with anything, it suddenly stopped working. My experience tells me that usuallly when crap breaks, it's because you messed with it =/
[03:09] <SIM_EU> lstarnesi dont remenber if it was update-rc.d
[03:09] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  I usually keep the latest 3 myself -- but you could if you can get to the menu.lst remove the unhide by using #unhide  (that way it will show all boot options in grub)
[03:09] <alex6164> then why is java not loading on anything?
[03:09] <kabukan1> anyone help me install ubuntu on SATA HD
[03:09] <rww> alex6164: it just did load that test page
[03:09] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: what happens is when Ubuntu goes to the screensaver or the screen goes blank for a little bit (i dont know how long it has to be in screensaver for this to happen) and i move the mouse to bring it back, i get the wallpaper and the mouse but nothing else comes up
[03:09] <OscarGot> Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me, my headphones don't seem to be working on 8.10, but the front speakers work just fine.
[03:09] <whisperkiller> how do i get su from livecd?
[03:09] <alex6164> omg
[03:09] <alex6164> it works now
[03:09] <lasivian> redvamp128: nope, says it's not configured
[03:09] <alex6164> thatnks man
[03:10] <lstarnes> SIM_EU: I'm not sure what else it could be
[03:10] <alex6164> shit
[03:10] <rww> alex6164: no problem
[03:10] <alex6164> you rock man!
[03:10] <alex6164> thanks alot!
[03:10] <FloodBot1> alex6164: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:10] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  I have found with some kernel breakages -- they can break only if something tries to access the broken part and work fine -until that happens.
[03:10] <lasivian> redvamp128: I show wifi0 and under iwconfig it shows ath0
[03:10] <whisperkiller> how do i get su from livecd?
[03:10] <rww> whisperkiller: you don't. Use sudo instead.
[03:10] <redvamp128> lasivian:  you can try sudo ifdown ath0
[03:10] <lasivian> redvamp128: same error
[03:10] <cmrn> If I am planning to install an ubuntu flavour on my eeePC 1000H, should I use ubuntu, or xubuntu (or kubuntu if you really want that option...)
[03:10] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: if i push the power button it should bring up shutdown options but that doesnt even happen
[03:10] <cmrn> via wubi
[03:10] <jin_122> how do i fix this? Errors were encountered while processing:
[03:10]  * lasivian has never been able to adjust to sudo
[03:10] <jin_122>  /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.16_i386.deb
[03:10] <jin_122> e-jat: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[03:10] <lstarnes> Grimmjow-Laptop: are you using compiz?
[03:11] <OscarGot> Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me, my headphones don't seem to be working on 8.10, but the front speakers work just fine.
[03:11] <jrib> lasivian: not really much to adjust to...
[03:11] <Surlent777> redvamp128: But what could possibly access the kernel that wasn't before? I had rebooted prior to this after messing with a bunch of stuff in Fluxbox, and it was fine. It was only after I left Windows that night that it decided to brek...
[03:11] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: no im not
[03:11] <Surlent777> redvamp128: break*
[03:12] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  I had one that worked fine until my web browser decided to kick pulse in instead of using alsa. (then came the barrage of panics) but a boot to the prior kernel and everything worked fine (IBEX)
[03:13] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: also
[03:13] <OscarGot> Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me, my headphones don't seem to be working on 8.10, but the front speakers work just fine.
[03:13] <Surlent777> redvamp128: ...wow. This makes no sense. I think I can try and enable an older kernel, but I'm not sure...I'll be back later, I guess.
[03:14] <OscarGot> Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me, my headphones don't seem to be working on 8.10, but the front speakers work just fine.
[03:15] <rww> !repeat | OscarGot
[03:15] <Grimmjow-Laptop> when im in the screensaver preferences the preview window is black at first and when i switch back to the same screensaver its like a strobe light with black instead of white
[03:15] <donavan01> Whats the command I  issue to get a list of all the hardware install on my system (trying to find out what kind of wifi card I have)
[03:15] <lstarnes> Grimmjow-Laptop: I'm not sure what would be causing that to happen other than perhaps a bug of some sort.  you could try disabling your screensaver
[03:15] <redvamp128> donavan01:  dmesg or lspci
[03:16] <lstarnes> donavan01: there's also lshw
[03:16] <donavan01> thanks
[03:16] <rww> donavan01: lspci and lsusb will tell you most hardware. lshw will tell you more than you'd ever want to know.
[03:16] <donavan01> good to know
[03:17] <rww> (that shouldn't be construed as a sleight against lshw. I love lshw. It's just insane in terms of detail.)
[03:17] <donavan01> gotcha
[03:17] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: i didnt have this trouble with 8.04 because it found my grphics cards restricted driver
[03:18] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: if 8.10 cant install it automatically then can the driver be installed manually?
[03:18] <redvamp128> donavan01:  or lshw -short
[03:18] <lstarnes> Grimmjow-Laptop: I'm not sure.  I'm still using 8.04
[03:19] <rww> redvamp128: heh, I didn't know about that. Thanks.
[03:19] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: lol
[03:19] <JPSman> when I twin view my monitor, it gives me the option of setting it up as a "separate x screen"  what is this?
[03:19] <redvamp128> rww: that gives a short list of hardware and more readable
[03:20] <Surlent777> redvamp128: You're saying it's a kernel issue. Did you look at my pastebin at all?
[03:20] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: this isnt related to the graphics issue but id like to have QuickBooks installed in Ubuntu
[03:20] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: last time i tried with WINE it didnt work
[03:21] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  Yes I did but if a kernel panic -I would try using a different one in order to rule things out... and it is open right now actually in my browser
[03:21] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: not that i knew what i was doing
[03:21] <lstarnes> Grimmjow-Laptop: I've never used quickbooks so I have no clues there
[03:21] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: ok
[03:21] <Huufarted> Got a question, folks.  I just finished installing telnetd, but I don't have inetd or xinetd installed.  I thought one of them was a pre-requisite for them?
[03:21] <Surlent777> redvamp128: That part about not being able to find /root/dev/console...what does that mean?
[03:22] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  when you say experimented with NVIDIA -- That part were you in linux or windows?
[03:22] <Surlent777> redvamp128: Windows
[03:22] <usser> Huufarted, i think this whole inetd business was abandoned in favor of stand alone servers
[03:22] <rww> Huufarted: You should have one of openbsd-inetd,  inetutils-inetd, openbsd-inetd, rlinetd, xinetd
[03:22] <rww> Huufarted: according to the package information, anyway
[03:22] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  if the prior kernels don't work I would try the reinstall of grub. (to see if it can find your linux)
[03:23] <Huufarted> rww, none of the above.  I'll just go ahead and install xinetd, then
[03:23] <redvamp128> !grub | Surlent777
[03:23] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: so do you have any thoughts on how i can get help with this driver issue?
[03:23] <Surlent777> redvamp128: I think, that with 8.04 loaded on my laptop, that I was able to go into /dev and see a file labled console. Would this show up if I were to view my HD from Windows or a Live CD?
[03:23] <rww> Huufarted: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[03:23] <Huufarted> intrepid
[03:23] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: oh by the way, i think its related to OpenGL
[03:23] <Huufarted> It's actually kinda surprising that none of them were installed at the get-go
[03:23] <rww> Huufarted: that's odd. The Intrepid telnetd package *depends* on them. I'm not sure how you managed to not install one.
[03:24] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  Trying to view a linux with windows is about like all the warnings programs give about using linux to write to NTFS (possible data loss can occur)
[03:24] <Huufarted> rww, not sure.  Just checked it in synaptic and let it rip
[03:24] <helo> anyone know if most usb bluetooth adapters work in intrepid?
[03:24] <Huufarted> ah...  openbsd-inet *IS* installed
[03:24] <Scunizi> Grimmjow-Laptop: there are sever decent replacements for quickbooks.. not all with the same features but close.. not as pretty but functional.  kmymoney and gnucash are in the repos.  gnucash is a double entry system.. probably overkill for home. kmymoney looks nice and is fairly feature rugh.
[03:24] <Scunizi> *rich
[03:24] <Huufarted> rww, nevermind. I'm just dense
[03:24] <Surlent777> redvamp128: Using the program mentioned in my pastebin, I've never had problesm
[03:25] <rww> Huufarted: I just tried and it asked to install openbsd-inetd. Might want to install that one if you don't have it ;)
[03:25] <OscarGot> Is there anyway to downgrade back to Hardy?
[03:25] <rww> OscarGot: no.
[03:25] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: i have a small business with a inventory
[03:25] <Huufarted> yeah rww, it's on there.  I chose to use xinetd in place of it, though.  I'm used to xinetd.
[03:25] <rww> !downgrade | OscarGot
[03:25] <rww> Huufarted: okays :)
[03:25] <Surlent777> redvamp128: I realize that's not much of a comment, but would I, nevertheless, be able to see any files in /dev?
[03:25] <Huufarted> rww, I knew how to install it all along, I just wanted to find out WHY I didn't see what I expected, that's all
[03:26] <mobodo_> I would like to install a different version of netatalk (the one from the CVS) on my ubuntu server.  Is there a way to get the source of the dpkg, patch it with that's new in the CVS and install it as a dpkg?
[03:26] <helo> anyone know if a random usb bluetooth adapter i might find on newegg should work in ubuntu?
[03:26] <usser> mobodo_, just create a package out of cvs sources, checkinstall would probably be the easiest way to accomplish this
[03:27] <luddite> after about 5 minutes on ubuntu 8.10 internet activity stops when LAN connected
[03:27] <mobodo_> usser: problem is that this way, I don't get any configuration file :-/
[03:27] <rww> mobodo_: it's possible, yes. There's information on doing it at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete
[03:27] <luddite> how can i stop this?
[03:27] <usser> helo, so far my ratio here is 50%  :) 1 adapter out of 2 worked
[03:27] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  if you moved the /etc that could pose a problem-- though what you may try doing is copy what is in the home back into the /
[03:27] <usser> mobodo_, what do you mean? no configuration file?
[03:28] <[Tequila]> How can I obtain the full history of Klipper, for ex if I have 8 links in klipper history how can I select and copy all of them
[03:28] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  would cause an extra folder but one that you may be able to deal with when you are in linux
[03:28] <mobodo_> usser: I'd like to keep the same paths/config files as the ones provided with the current package
[03:28] <rww> mobodo_: Specifically https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete#Recipe:%20Updating%20An%20Ubuntu%20Package might be useful.
[03:28] <shausam27> where dose kml donkey store files it is downloading a the finished ones to
[03:28] <mobodo_> rww: I'm on it, thanks  :)
[03:28] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: i think OpenGL is related to the problem im having because in a game i have installed when i have OpenGL off the screen looks normal (at least without the pretty effects normal) but if OpenGL is turned on then the game becomes more unstable and i see flickering all over
[03:28] <maze12> salut à tous :)
[03:28] <usser> mobodo_, oh, i see.
[03:29] <rww> !fr | maze12
[03:29] <MindVirus> Any good graphing frontends for GTK? Preferrably 3D as well.
[03:29] <thomastaco> Will someone tell me how to go to the window that lists the specs of my computer?
[03:29] <Surlent777> redvamp128: I'm pretty sure that *nothing was moved* because otherwise I'd see something odd in the home folder, and I don't.
[03:29] <lasivian> how can I determine what chipset my wireless card uses for purposes of running kismet?
[03:30] <rww> lasivian: one of lsusb or lspci will probably show it. If not, try lshw.
[03:30] <usser> helo, this one worked for me http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833340012
[03:30] <Surlent777> redvamp128: But I also fear that I may be wrong
[03:30] <luddite> i wish to send mail via thunderbird with my own mailserver so when im connected to free wifi it will still send pop3 email - is this possible?
[03:30] <jinnstar77> lasivian: lspci
[03:30] <redvamp128> lasivian:  lshw -short
[03:30] <rww> thomastaco: which specs, specifically?
[03:30] <bjacques> hi, which repository contains debugging symbols for ubuntu-provided packages?
[03:30] <thomastaco> what specific graphics card i have in thi
[03:30] <thomastaco> this
[03:31] <lstarnes> Grimmjow-Laptop: I'm not sure how to fix this particular issue
[03:31] <Surlent777> redvamp128: I can see though that E:\home has nothing in it but my home folder
[03:31] <rww> thomastaco: "lspci" should show that
[03:31] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  even with show hidden enabled?
[03:31] <Surlent777> redvamp128: My XP shows everything.
[03:31] <rww> bjacques: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash
[03:32] <Surlent777> redvamp128: I can show this by the fact that I see my "dot folders" in my home directory
[03:32] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: do you know somebody who may be more familiar with my problem?
[03:32] <[Tequila]> How can I obtain the full history of Klipper, for ex if I have 8 links in klipper history how can I select and copy all of them
[03:33] <rww> thomastaco: type it in the Terminal ( Accessories > Terminal )
[03:33] <lstarnes> Grimmjow-Laptop: someone else here might know, but I'm not sure who exactly
[03:33] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  I have ran out of things for you to try-- other than possibly if you can get it to log onto the prompt-- then you can do more
[03:33] <shausam27>  where dose kml donkey store files it is downloading a the finished ones to i can not fine a file of any kind like lime wire uses
[03:33] <lasivian> hrrm, lspci just showed me the other 2 network devices, not the usb one
[03:33] <rww> !pm > thomastaco
[03:33] <Surlent777> redvamp128: What prompt?
[03:33] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: lots of typing ahead of me i think
[03:33] <Surlent777> redvamp128: Linux refuses to boot at all. It just gives that "cannot find /root/dev/console" or whatever
[03:33] <lasivian> lshw shows the device but does not show chipset
[03:34] <thethirdmoose> How can I check which processes are using a module and preventing me from unloading it?
[03:34] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  I would try reinstall of grub -- or possibly wingrub -- WinGrub and Ubuntu <http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p9.html>
[03:34] <Grimmjow-Laptop> im having trouble with my graphics driver on my laptop

[03:34] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  since you can boot to windows -- that may be a way to add back your ubuntu -- to figure out just what is wrong with it. (
[03:35] <Grimmjow-Laptop> but it said i dont have a supported device installed
[03:35] <Grimmjow-Laptop> GeForce Go 7400 is listed on the supported products page

[03:35] <Surlent777> redvamp128: I'll check out whether I can view /dev on a live CD on my laptop. Thanks for the advice
[03:35] <lasivian> I know it's an edimax usb card, but I kinda want to learn how to do this stuff myself :)
[03:35] <Grimmjow-Laptop> can somebody help me out here?
[03:35] <rww> lasivian: did you try lsusb?
[03:35] <luddite> after about 5 mins of use my internet stops- please help - rebooting is a pain
[03:35] <lasivian> ahh haaa
[03:35] <luddite> ping stops also

[03:40] <mun> how come when i set the terminal's bg to transparent, all i see is the wallpaper rather than the windows behind the terminal?
[03:40] <redvamp128> thomastaco:  applications - accessories -terminal
[03:40] <thethirdmoose> mun, you need to use a compositing engine like compiz if you want to see the windows behind
[03:40] <thomastaco> thank you very much
[03:40] <usser> mun, its fake transparency, for real transparency use compiz or xcompmgr
[03:40] <mun> thethirdmoose, i see, but i already am.
[03:41] <thethirdmoose> mun: Then you need to enable transparency in compiz settings
[03:41] <usser> mun, hold alt button and use the scroll wheel on the mouse to increase decrease transparency level
[03:41] <mun> thethirdmoose, i see. how do i do that?
[03:42] <bjacques> why is there no firefox-3.0-dbg in intrepid?

[03:46] <sophia> Anyone knows how to check performance of a mediaplayer? any testing tool?
[03:46] <thethirdmoose> usser, I should stop those first?
[03:46] <bobJR> thanks redvamp128
[03:46] <lstarnes> bjacques: what about firefox-dbg?
[03:46] <hoober> i have an acer 5100 bl51 and i cant get my webcam to work it is built in to the laptop can anyone help??
[03:46] <bjacques> lstarnes: afraid not
[03:47] <mun> usser, if i hold down alt and scroll to increase transparency, will it this setting be persistent so that next time when the same app opens, the same transprency level loads?
[03:47] <usser> thethirdmoose, when you do sudo rrmod bttv doesnt it tell you something along the following lines: ERROR: Module mac80211 is in use by iwl3945
[03:47] <usser> mun, i dont think so
[03:47] <thethirdmoose> usser, just says "FATAL: Module bttv is in use"
[03:47] <hoober> ?
[03:48] <sebsebseb>  ]
[03:48] <sebsebseb>
[03:48] <Grimmjow-Laptop> what happens is when Ubuntu goes to the screensaver or the screen goes blank for a little bit (i dont know how long it has to be in screensaver for this to happen) and i move the mouse to bring it back, i get the wallpaper and the mouse but nothing else comes up.     can somebody else try to help me with this graphics driver problem?
[03:48] <shausam27> hi
[03:48] <sebsebseb> hi
[03:48] <thethirdmoose> usser, lsmod indicates that it is in use by one module
[03:49] <hoober> what is the ubuntu off topic room
[03:49] <rww> hoober: #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:49] <RoastedTiresX> is there anybody REALLY good with IRC that could help me in private message? It seems ubuntu is the only channel I can get to.
[03:51] <usser> thethirdmoose, nah lsmod lists modules that bttv depends on, my bad, its not relevant
[03:51] <rww> RoastedTiresX: does /join #freenode work? That'd be the place to ask, if it does.
[03:51] <shausam27> dose kml donkey create a folder where it puts my downloads if so where would i fine it
[03:51] <usser> thethirdmoose, try running sudo depmod
[03:51] <RoastedTiresX> let me give it a shot rww - thanks!
[03:51] <RoastedTiresX> yep, works - thanks!
[03:51] <usser> thethirdmoose, and then look at /lib/modules/yourkernel/modules.dep file
[03:52] <usser> thethirdmoose, run this command cat /lib/modules/yourkernel/modules.dep | grep bttv
[03:53] <_VIM_> I'm getting error "Desktop effects could not be enabled" on 8.10, but Nvidia is loaded and working
[03:53] <thethirdmoose> usser, there's a lot of stuff
[03:54] <redvamp128> _VIM_:  you could try running this check to see what is broken - Forlong's Blog - Compiz-Check <http://forlong.blogage.de/entries/pages/Compiz-Check>
[03:54] <usser> thethirdmoose, use grep to display relevant stuff, you're looking for a line with bttv.ko
[03:54] <thethirdmoose> usser, there are several lines
[03:54] <usser> thethirdmoose, sudo cat /lib/modules/kernel/modules.dep | grep bttv
[03:54] <thethirdmoose> that's what I did
[03:55] <thethirdmoose> usser, http://pastebin.com/mb664002
[03:55] <usser> thethirdmoose, the format is this: module modules that depend on it, so you're looking for a line where bttv is first
[03:55] <freesign> hi , I would like to know command route is in what package?
[03:55] <thethirdmoose> usser, ok, thanks
[03:55] <freesign> $route is in what package
[03:55] <rww> freesign: net-tools
[03:56] <freesign> thanks!!
[03:56] <_VIM_> compiz works fine in 8.04 though :/  I was just hoping after 4+ months 8.10 would have it fixed by now
[03:57] <usser> thethirdmoose, well actually im wrong again, modules.dep list modules that depend on the module
[03:58] <thethirdmoose> usser, yea, seems like it
[03:58] <thethirdmoose> so I should be able to look at the other lines
[03:58] <usser> thethirdmoose, in your case lines 2 5
[03:58] <shausam27>  dose kml donkey create a folder where it puts my downloads if so where would i fine it
[03:58] <usser> thethirdmoose, dst_ca bt878 depend on bttv.ko
[03:58] <usser> thethirdmoose, etc
[03:58] <thethirdmoose> usser, ok
[03:59] <Grimmjow-Laptop> lstarnes: would the installer log created by the nvidia driver installer help any?
[03:59] <sophia> Anyone knows how to check performance of a mediaplayer?
[03:59] <sophia> performance analysis test?
[03:59] <thethirdmoose> usser, it appears that those modules are not loaded
[04:00] <usser> thethirdmoose, none of the four?
[04:00] <thethirdmoose> usser, nope
[04:00] <usser> thethirdmoose, hm
[04:02] <Grimmjow-Laptop> if anybody here would like to see more linux software in stores please vote for my suggestion http://intuit.uservoice.com/pages/quick_books_product_feedback/suggestions/129318-provide-support-for-installing-quickbooks-in-linux
[04:02] <meoblast001> hi
[04:02] <meoblast001> how do i kill flash player?
[04:02] <Grimmjow-Laptop> if anybody here would like to see more linux software in stores please vote for my suggestion http://intuit.uservoice.com/pages/quick_books_product_feedback/suggestions/129318-provide-support-for-installing-quickbooks-in-linux
[04:02] <petllama> why would we wanna see it in stores? they would charge $$ for it
[04:03] <Grimmjow-Laptop> there are people that wana use it in linux
[04:03] <danhm> what would be causing my capture devices to always be muted?
[04:03] <Grimmjow-Laptop> if its available for linux perhaps other software makers might make programs for linux
[04:04] <Grimmjow-Laptop> then linux might become more well known
[04:04] <danhm> i unmute them in gnome's volume control, but they are muted again if i close the window and look again
[04:04] <Grimmjow-Laptop> then Microsoft might lose more users to linux
[04:05] <Grimmjow-Laptop> only good things can come from it
[04:05] <_VIM_> redvamp128: you are a God! Compiz works now , something was being blacklisted :D   thanks!

[04:07] <usser> Grimmjow-Laptop, its going to cause linux's meltdown due to its opensource nature, it'll be torn apart with everyone pulling into different direction, creating forks, introducing incompatibilities, failing to agree on standards, it'll be hell
[04:08] <ugliefrog> how do i do------>boot with pci=noacpi
[04:08] <oyoyo> hiu chet lien

[04:12] <mkquist> hey all, is there an issue w/intrepid 64bit flash in firefox not playing?.. I seem to be having that issue
[04:12] <jacobc> Hi. I'm having issues with a PPTP VPN connection to my work. Whenever I connect I lose my internet connection. I've read I should be able to solve this with the IPv4 Settings when configuring the VPN but am not quite sure what I should do.
[04:14] <sophia> Anyone knows how to check performance of a mediaplayer?
[04:14] <Surlent777> redvamp128: I fixed it. Somehow I moved /dev into /etc. Replacing it fixed everything....only problem now is that I can' figure out how to set up a wired connection xD
[04:14] <sophia> performance analysis test?
[04:14] <rww> mkquist: It didn't work for me the other day when I tried to install flashplugin-nonfree. I did http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-Adobe-Flash-Player-64-bit-on-Ubuntu-8-10-98076.shtml to get it working.
[04:14] <Surlent777> redvamp128: can't*
[04:15] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  have you tried the sudo ifup eth# ?
[04:15] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  the # is whatever your wired connection is.
[04:16] <Surlent777> redvamp128: I've been trying to go through that little guy that sits in the system tray, seems to have replaced the old "get me online" tool
[04:17] <wizzer> son of a, my sound stopped working randomly
[04:17] <tobbo> hi there
[04:17] <redvamp128> wizzer:  that happens to me from time to time-- for me running this command usually gets it back- sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[04:18] <tobbo> anybody have 3d display driver for sis?
[04:18] <tobbo> http://paste.ubuntu.com/123623/plain/
[04:18] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  I am not sure but I think you have to disable your wireless to enable the wired
[04:19] <Surlent777> redvamp128: I told it to connect automatically via the checkbox, I fed it the modem's mac address, and I told it use use DHCP...also that might be a good idea too
[04:19] <wizzer> nope, didn't seem to work redvamp, thank you for trying though
[04:19] <redvamp128> Surlent777:  that is why I suggested the - sudo ifup eth#
[04:19] <Surlent777> redvamp128: It's always stupid oversight x_x OK time to try this again
[04:19] <Surlent777> thanks redvamp128
[04:20] <tobbo> hello evbdy
[04:20] <redvamp128> wizzer:  I do know that for example when I have a flash page open in firefox-- it stops some apps from having sound.
[04:20] <wizzer> well i was trying to play something on youtube
[04:21] <redvamp128> wizzer:  do you have the adobe flash player installed? (I have also heard of gnash) not having sound on some of youtube.
[04:21] <wizzer> yeah i
[04:21] <wizzer> 'm pretty sure i do
[04:22] <tobbo> anybody use ubuntu me?
[04:22] <Stepan1> Hey there.  I have a Ubuntu desktop and a Windows laptop.  I have a printer connected to the Ubuntu desktop.  Any way to share this printer.  I do not have a network but is it in any way possible to have the Windows laptop connect to my ip to use the printer wireless?
[04:22] <redvamp128> wizzer:  about: plugins  (no space betweeen) should be able to tell if you have it installed  (put that in the address bar in firefox)
[04:22] <Thellra> is there a way to start a gui for the server version?
[04:23] <wizzer> i see shockwave, redvamp128
[04:24] <redvamp128> Thellra:  you could ask that in room #ubuntu-server (other than installing either ubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop) I would not know
[04:24] <dayo_> Thellra: there *is* a gui for the server installation. somewaht
[04:24] <redvamp128> wizzer:  32bit or 64bit?
[04:25] <dayo_> Thellra: it's not a mouse-click gui, though
[04:25] <wizzer> 32
[04:25] <redvamp128> wizzer:  do you have sound for other things?
[04:26] <wizzer> nope
[04:26] <Stepan1> I have a Ubuntu desktop and a Windows laptop.  I have a printer connected to the Ubuntu desktop.  Any way to share this printer.  I do not have a network but is it in any way possible to have the Windows laptop connect to my ip to use the printer wireless?
[04:26] <Thellra> Thellra, I'm trying the desktop version instead, I'm guessing anything on the server is a bit beyond me
[04:26] <wizzer> i'm going to restart and see if that does anything
[04:26] <fujisan> which server is this?
[04:27] <xlevel1> hi, I have kde compositing working nicely on my login, xlevel1, but on the other login, neil, it complains about X configuration problems.  I even tried coping the entire ~/.kde from xlevel1 to neil.  Why?
[04:27] <redvamp128> wizzer:  do you have a link to the you-tube file ? so that I can verify that it does have sound?
[04:28] <pretender> Can someone point me to a how to guide for sharing folders etc between Ubuntu 8.10 and Vista Home Basic
[04:29] <perillux> Could someone quickly tell me the name of ubuntu's default torrent application, and possibly the command I would need to run to start it from the command line?  thanks.
[04:29] <unop> perillux, transmission
[04:30] <Stepan1> I have a Ubuntu desktop and a Windows laptop.  I have a printer connected to the Ubuntu desktop.  Any way to share this printer.  I do not have a network but is it in any way possible to have the Windows laptop connect to my ip to use the printer wireless?
[04:30] <unop> Stepan1, you don't have a network but you want to connect by IP?  that's self-contradiction
[04:31] <redvamp128> this is so wierd
[04:31] <IndyGunFreak> perillux: if you installed ubuntu, transmission is installed by default.. its in application/internet/transmission
[04:31] <redvamp128> pidgin just disapeared all text for no reason after viewing a web page
[04:31] <perillux> IndyGunFreak: unop: thanks  :)
[04:32] <rufneck> /server irc.undernet.org
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> redvamp128: pidgin went a little nanners on me about an hour ago for some reason..didn't really figure it out, just restarted x and it was fine
[04:32]  * Grimmjow-Laptop| is away: Gone away for now
[04:32]  * Grimmjow-Laptop is back.
[04:32]  * Grimmjow-Laptop is away: Gone away for now
[04:32] <Stepan1> unop: my laptop connects to a wireless network in another location
[04:32] <d_rugs420> anyone know why my xchat sounds dont work but i have audio other places?
[04:32]  * Grimmjow-Laptop is back.
[04:33] <Stepan1> unop: it does not connect to the same router, i dont know if that make a difference
[04:33] <d_rugs420> even when i click play on a sound file in the xchat sound preferences i have no sound
[04:33]  * Grimmjow-Laptop| is away: Gone away for now
[04:33]  * Grimmjow-Laptop is back.
[04:33] <redvamp128> IndyGunFreak:  It seemed as if all those people logging in all at once
[04:34] <unop> Stepan1, well, what matters is that if you want to share the printer - the client has to be able to connect to the print server -- http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing/sharing_with_windows.html
[04:34] <glenrock> d_rugs420: if you start xchat from a terminal window, then do the play sound thing, do any errors appear in the terminal
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> d_rugs420: this might sound incredibly stupid, but did you assign sounds to events?
[04:34] <redvamp128> IndyGunFreak:  There were about 30 people logging in within 1 minute
[04:34] <Guest93744> i there i just installed kmldonkey a it seems to have no where for the files to go or am i messing some thing
[04:34]  * Grimmjow-Laptop| is away: Gone away for now
[04:35]  * Grimmjow-Laptop is back.
[04:35] <Guest93744> ,c,x
[04:35] <d_rugs420> glenrock, IndyGunFreak, i dont know how to do either one
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> redvamp128: well, i dont use pidgin for IRC... its a horrid irc client in my opinion.... i was referring to instant messaging
[04:35] <sophia> Is there any performance testing tool for a mediaplayer which uses opengl for video output?
[04:35] <histo> Is there a way to test a hard drive from the live cd?
[04:35] <jacobc> Anyone know how I can stop a PTPP VPN from breaking my internet connection?
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> d_rugs420: then i would say thats the problem... you see where the events are listed, in preferences, right?
[04:36] <histo> I should specify the drive is partitioned with ntfs on it.
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> d_rugs420: there's no sound by default, you have to assign sounds.
[04:36] <glenrock> d_rugs420: for 'Beep',  put this where it says sound file, then click play:   /usr/share/sounds/purple/alert.wav
[04:36] <nigtv> hello
[04:36] <d_rugs420> IndyGunFreak, i have a long list of events
[04:36] <Cubex> Where is the location of the trash bin? (Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex)
[04:37] <rww> !trash | Cubex
[04:37] <mikejoconnor> I'm currently installing Tomcat and ApacheSolr, I'm looking for some advise on where to put them in the file structure.  I think Tomcat goes in /usr/local/tomcat
[04:37] <Stepan1> unop: thanks for the link, this helps
[04:37] <d_rugs420> glenrock, got "cannot read sound file"
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> d_rugs420: everyone does.. highlight an event, then use the "browse" feature at the bottom, navigate to a sound, and choose it.
[04:37] <mikejoconnor> any suggestions, or is there a good doc on how the file system is setup?
[04:37] <d_rugs420> IndyGunFreak, i see what you mean now by assigning events and they are all empty
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> d_rugs420: i know, thats why you have no sounds
[04:37] <d_rugs420> i thought xchat would come with its own sound files
[04:38] <d_rugs420> guess i need to find my own
[04:38] <Guest93744> i there i just installed kmldonkey a it seems to have no where for the files to go or am i messing some thing  where are my downloads
[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> d_rugs420: welll, frankly if you had a sound for everyone of those events, your computer would sound like a non-stop orchestra
