[21:51] <TomG> jake1: -p
[21:52] <jake1> Tomg: says unknown
[21:52] <michaeldobrovits> skruigners, did you tried keyborad shortcuts in system perferences
[21:52] <brontosaurusrex> jake1: try inxi
[21:53] <TomG> jake1: You don't happen to know yourself what your processor is?
[21:53] <jake1> it is an intel 32 bit duel core 1.8 if i remember right
[21:53] <zaxonspox> jake1 flash videos are handeled by CPU, if its like 1GHz CPU it will lag
[21:53] <skruigners> nope i have a game to play with keyboard but don't work only with mouse^^
[21:54] <TomG> jake1: Have you tried with any other browsers?
[21:54] <jake1> yeah it lags really bad on them but it doesn't just exit the window of firefox
[21:54] <zaxonspox> that why i say YES for Apple war against Flash
[21:55] <michaeldobrovits> skruigners, strange. can i ask what game?
[21:55] <skruigners> dofus
[21:55] <michaeldobrovits> soon html 5 will rule flash and everything don't worry flash will end in a few years
[21:56] <brontosaurusrex> zaxonspox: from what i heard the flash is really only optimized and works well with win7 64bit
[21:56] <zaxonspox> michaeldobrovits TOO long i am a little in web development, i Hate Flash
[21:56] <brontosaurusrex> zaxonspox: thought i can easily watch HD video on this ubuntu
[21:56] <michaeldobrovits> brontosaurusrex, flash hd works great on my pentium d
[21:57] <Jordan_U> brontosaurusrex: There isn't even a 64 bit version of flash for windows.
[21:57] <michaeldobrovits> zaxonspox, also my msi netbook hhhh
[21:57] <duffydack> I got no flash worries now with my shiny new i7 lappy
[21:57] <zaxonspox> brontosaurusrex the nwhat is a point for Flash to be an "Multiplatform" program?
[21:57] <TomG> 64bit flash 10 has been good to me
[21:58] <duffydack> +1 tom
[21:58] <brontosaurusrex> zaxonspox: the only point i have with flash is that it is multiplatform and it plays h264 video
[21:58] <zaxonspox> duffydack not every ones got a shiny new hardware :P
[21:59] <brontosaurusrex> i mean about optimization, one should ask adobe i guess
[22:00] <zch3> using both Movie Player and VLC I've tried to watch a dvd.  i can see the intro video leading into the main menu but the actual video wont play
[22:00] <zch3> any insight?
[22:00] <Jordan_U> zch3: What movie?
[22:00] <zch3> Its a national geographic movie about national parks
[22:01] <Jordan_U> zch3: Can you check "dmesg" for any read errors from the DVD drive?
[22:02] <zch3> I'm not familiar with what dmesg is
[22:02] <zaxonspox> zch3 is it a DVD Video with Menu?
[22:02] <zch3> yes
[22:02] <xangua> !medibuntu > zch3
[22:02] <xangua> zch3: install then libdvdcss2 from medibuntu
[22:03] <zch3> tracking. ty
[22:03] <zaxonspox> zch3 sounds like only beginning was choosen to see, can you manually choose the Main Video to watch?
[22:03] <zch3> i'll try one second
[22:04] <zch3> nope, cant not read from resource is the error im getting
[22:04] <Jordan_U> zch3: If it actually causes vlc to crash then I think it's a new kind of DRM I've encountered recently.
[22:05] <Horus> someone knows why my grub shows twice linux and twice linux recovery but they are not same at the of each rel. are dif. nus
[22:05] <jake1> but why would flash kill my entier mozilla like it doesn't say force close or anythign it disapears into thin air
[22:05] <zaxonspox> Horus different Kernels installed?
[22:06] <Jordan_U> Horus: Ubuntu keeps older kernel versions when you upgrade to newer ones, in case the new ones don't work for some reason. You can remove the older kernels with synaptic / apt
[22:06] <zaxonspox> jake1 because Flash sits heavily on resources
[22:07] <TomG> jake1: Maybe try running firefox through command line.  You could probably get a better idea what's happening.
[22:07] <zaxonspox> jake1 no support from GPU is also a shot into feet
[22:07] <Horus> Ok 'cause when i login the old one it reboot after 5 mins. is it damage...???
[22:08] <nasta> c'è nessuno?
[22:08] <nasta> chi mi può dare una mano?
[22:09] <zaxonspox> nasta english or #ubuntu-it
[22:09] <nasta> ok
[22:09] <nasta> i don't find it
[22:10] <livefree_> i am using xchat and when i try to enter room that is in arabic the topic and the words i cannot read them they are in strange language ... what should i do?
[22:10] <nasta> where is the italian chat for ubuntu?
[22:10] <Jordan_U> !it | nasta
[22:10] <ralas> I have randomly named album covers in my Music directory.  How do I rename them all to folder.jpg?  this is what I have so far...   mv */*.jpg */folder.jpg
[22:10] <michaeldobrovits> livefree_, do u see arabic in web or documents?
[22:10] <nasta> !it
[22:11] <livefree_> yes i do
[22:11] <Jordan_U> nasta: Type "/join #ubuntu-it" into your IRC client (without the quotes) to join the italian ubuntu channel.
[22:12] <michaeldobrovits> livefree_, probably the font inside preferences doesn't support arabic
[22:12] <michaeldobrovits> livefree_, you can try another one i think
[22:12] <livefree_> so i cannot do anything?
[22:13] <livefree_> i tried konversation  but the same
[22:13] <rapha> hmmm
[22:13] <michaeldobrovits> livefree_, just one sec
[22:13] <rapha> my brother just gave me his ipod
[22:13] <rapha> doesnt want it anymore
[22:13] <livefree_> ok
[22:14] <rapha> i connected the ipod to rythmbox and it shows some songs ... but how do i move them from the ipod to my harddisk?
[22:14] <Toink> does anyone use the "Both Alt keys together" shortcut to switch keyboard layouts?
[22:14] <michaeldobrovits> livefree_, http://eglug.org/book/export/html/564 search for arabic
[22:14] <SimSimma> rapha, you should be able to drag and drop
[22:14] <livefree_> thank you
[22:15] <polydeuces> Greetings, all. I'm trying to install the ubuntu netbook remix on my acer aspire one netbook using a flash drive. can anyone help me for a moment?
[22:15] <antibody> hi all, there is a plugin that doesn't work with 64bits firefox (or chrome) called veetle..even with the wrapper...is there any way to install a 32bits firefox in parallel in the system? I've googled..can anyone point me a guide or a solution?tnx
[22:15] <rapha> SimSimma: where? to "Music"?
[22:15] <rapha> SimSimma: ah, that works, thanks! :-)
[22:16] <zaxonspox> polydeuces what your problem?
[22:16] <michaeldobrovits> polydeuces, come to private
[22:16] <michaeldobrovits> polydeuces, or not
[22:16] <polydeuces> How do I do that?
[22:16] <polydeuces> Sorry, I haven't used this client before (pidgin)
[22:16] <Fillayy> Hello, I have ubuntu 9.10 installed on my netbook, I was wondering if anyone here could help me set up wireless internet and my broadband.
[22:17] <jake1> what is your wireless card?
[22:17] <michaeldobrovits> polydeuces, zaxonspox tried to answer you, ask in main channel
[22:17] <Fillayy> Mine?
[22:17] <Janhouse> Fillayy, try opening System > Administration > Drivers
[22:17] <rapha> SimSimma: i've never owned an iPod before - there's lots of stupid folders on it. can i just delete them and create my own hierarchy or will that destroy the ipod?
[22:17] <Janhouse> *Hardware drivers
[22:17] <zaxonspox> polydeuces do you have already Ubuntu on Flash Drive or wonting to do that but dont know how?
[22:17] <polydeuces> oh, okay. Zaxon, my problem is thus: everytime I go to use the usb boot creator, it gives me an error message pertaining to the autorun.
[22:17] <Fillayy> Janhouse, nothing shows up.
[22:18] <Janhouse> ok
[22:18] <SimSimma> rapha you cant do that
[22:18] <rapha> SimSimma: then i guess that's what they mean by "apple lock-in"
[22:18] <Fillayy> When I try to see wireless networks around my area, nothing even shows up.
[22:18] <Janhouse> is your wireless card working (showing up in network manager applet)?
[22:18] <Janhouse> oh
[22:18] <SimSimma> rapha, Exactly. I own a Sansa Fuze now where I am able to do that.
[22:18] <jake1> is there a way to do an LS and just see directories
[22:18] <polydeuces> I've tried creating a separate ISO using Magic ISO Maker, mounting it and running it from there, nothing seems to work. I noticed some others were having the same issue, and there was a work-around, though it wasn't at all detailed.
[22:18] <rapha> SimSimma: the drag-and-drop only _copied_ the files. how can i now _delete_ them from the ipod?!
[22:18] <Fillayy> Were would I find the network manager applet?
[22:19] <Janhouse> next to clock
[22:19] <zaxonspox> polydeuces what is this an error?
[22:19] <Janhouse> that icon where wireless networks usually appear
[22:19] <Fillayy> Nothing shows up, Wired Network (disconnected) in grey and also gives me VPN connections option.
[22:19] <polydeuces> Allow me a moment to pull it up
[22:19] <SimSimma> rapha, You should have to either go to the hard disk in Computer or Move to Trash from within rythmbox right click menu
[22:19] <Janhouse> Fillayy, so you must install drivers...
[22:20] <Janhouse> or... have you enabled your wireless card?
[22:20] <Nick_Meister> hi guys im trying to setup setup samba but its erroring out on the installation, i have had installed before, but it was glitching out on me (probably because of misconfiguration) so i had to do a purge
[22:20] <Janhouse> laptops usually have some on/off button
[22:20] <Fillayy> Yes.
[22:20] <jake1> here is the erros im getting w/ firefox and flash
[22:20] <jake1> http://www.pastebin.org/157739
[22:20] <Fillayy> I see the on off button but it reads off.
[22:20] <Janhouse> did you turn it on before starting ubuntu or after?
[22:20] <Fillayy> I try to turn it on, the light wont change and remains off.
[22:20] <Fillayy> Since I have gotten ubuntu it hasnt worked.
[22:20] <SimSimma> rapha, You could also try download Rockbox to accomplish that folder organizing thing but I havent used an ipod in years and it depends on your model
[22:21] <rapha> SimSimma: that's what i had expected, yes. but both options "delete" and "move to trash" are greyed out in rythmbox and when i hit the "delete" key in nautilus, nothing happens. also when i detach the ipod it says there's no music on it but in rythmbox i can see the music clearly.
[22:21] <polydeuces> An uncaught exception was raised: [Error 5] Access is denied: u'F:\\autorun.inf
[22:21] <zaxonspox> Fillayy do you have had wifi turned on while powering on Ubuntu?
[22:21] <Janhouse> With my laptop I sometimes have to reboot, turn it on and then start Ubuntu
[22:21] <SimSimma> rapha, what version ipod are you using?
[22:21] <Fillayy> Yes I did haveit on zax.
[22:21] <rapha> SimSimma: it says "Model No. A1236" on the back
[22:21] <Janhouse> ok
[22:21] <SimSimma> I mean Mini, Nano, Touch?
[22:22] <Janhouse> Fillayy, try opening terminal and writing lspci
[22:22] <rapha> SimSimma: i wouldn't know how to find out - never considered buying an apple device
[22:22]  * rapha will google "ipod"
[22:22] <zaxonspox> polydeuces copy your files from this Flash Drive to your hard Disk, make sure it is FAT32 and go to USB Creator Tool
[22:22] <Janhouse> try to find your wireless card in device list
[22:22] <Fillayy> Did it.
[22:22] <SimSimma> rapha, lol.... just go to the Wikipedia page
[22:22] <SimSimma> rapha that's what I used to do. It has pics and all
[22:22] <Janhouse> fo example I have: 30:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02)
[22:22] <Janhouse> this is my wireless card
[22:22] <polydeuces> zaxon -- there are no files on the flash drive. i'm trying to put them onto the flash dive.
[22:22] <Janhouse> what is yours?
[22:23] <rapha> SimSimma: it looks like this: https://www2.lsmsecure.com/itd/shop/images/T/Apple%20Ipod%20Nano%20Silver.jpg
[22:23] <Fillayy> Would it be, Network controller: Broadcom corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g
[22:23] <michaeldobrovits> Fillayy, try ifconfig in terminal and see if you have wlan0
[22:23] <zaxonspox> polydeuces you dont copy them manually, you should use USB Creator Tool
[22:23] <jake1> fillayy
[22:23] <Fillayy> yes
[22:23] <jake1> you need to do an ndiswrapper for it
[22:23] <rapha> SimSimma: yeah, according to Wikipedia it should be a third generation 4GB iPod Nano
[22:24] <SimSimma> rapha, I believe nano's are supported (unless of course they made a new version or updated its firmware, stupid Apple). you may just have to remount it
[22:24] <Fillayy> How do I do one of those?
[22:24] <Janhouse> umm
[22:24] <polydeuces> Zaxon, that's what I've been trying to do. When I select the ISO to transfer to the flash drive, and click the button to initiate the process, I get the error.
[22:24] <Janhouse> I guess for b43 was
[22:24] <SimSimma> rapha, thats a 3rd Gen version I believe cuz my sister had that version
[22:24] <Janhouse> sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[22:24] <SimSimma> rapha,  try to remount the device but close rhythmbox first
[22:24] <michaeldobrovits> Fillayy, open a terminal --> type ifconfig --> the commands output lists your network interfaces
[22:24] <SimSimma> rapha, then unmount and remount
[22:25] <TomG> jake1: So it's actually your sound giving you errors.
[22:25] <Fillayy> Couldn't find package, Hanhosue.
[22:25] <jake1> yeah thanks for the tip of running it from terminal
[22:25] <zaxonspox> polydeuces then in USB Creator Tool select your Flash Drive sdxY (like sdb1) format it, and then continue to select the ISO file
[22:25] <Janhouse> Fillayy, open synaptic and search for b43
[22:25] <jake1> it said that about 15 times then died
[22:25] <jake1> but i didn't cutt and paste the same error 15 times
[22:26] <angell_> hola
[22:26] <TomG> So do you have pulseaudio installed?
[22:26] <Export^1> Hi, how can i mount an external usb harddrive on my ubuntu server ?
[22:26] <Fillayy> Nothing comes up for b43
[22:26] <jake1> tomg: yes i do
[22:27] <rapha> SimSimma: did as you said, but still unable to delete the music on it. (it's in iPod_Control/Music/ on the device) - it also insists that it has no music on it
[22:27] <TomG> jake1: I wish I could help, but I never use pulseaudio.  It simply never works for me.
[22:27] <Janhouse> Fillayy, weird.... What version are you using?
[22:27] <Fillayy> When it typed in ifconfig, only two things poped up. It doesn't look like my wireless is there.
[22:27] <Janhouse> Ubuntu
[22:27] <Fillayy> 9.10 on an HP Mini
[22:27] <polydeuces> zaxon, that appears to have worked.
[22:27] <Janhouse> ok
[22:27] <polydeuces> thank you!
[22:27] <rapha> SimSimma: my brother did say something about having tried out a software other than iTunes on his mac since iTunes got on his nerves. maybe that other software broke it?
[22:27] <jake1> tomg: it doesn't work for me either aparently i had to switch from it for MP3's To play in rythermbox
[22:27] <Janhouse> 9.10 has b43-fwcutter in apt
[22:28] <xorwhy> Can I safely remove kernel header files, assuming I will not be needing to install anything from source?
[22:28] <michaeldobrovits> Fillayy, did it worked before?
[22:28] <SimSimma> rapha, iit probrably was Floola its crossplatform program that is much better than itunes in my opinion
[22:28] <SimSimma> rapha,  give Floola a try
[22:28] <Janhouse> Maybe try to reload synaptic repositories
[22:28] <Janhouse> sudo apt-get update
[22:28] <Fillayy> My internet has worked before with Ubuntu
[22:28] <michaeldobrovits> Fillayy, same version?
[22:28] <Fillayy> No
[22:28] <Fillayy> Older one.
[22:29] <Fillayy> Janhouse, don't I need internet to update?
[22:29] <michaeldobrovits> Fillayy, i also experience similiar issue with my msi wind
[22:29] <Fillayy> I can't even get internet using ethernet cable.
[22:29] <Janhouse> can't you plug in cable?
[22:29] <Janhouse> what? :/
[22:29] <Fillayy> Yeah :(
[22:29] <SimSimma> rapha, one more thing what does typing "mount" into the terminal produce
[22:29] <TomG> jake1: Look through this bug report I found.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/274577
[22:29] <Fillayy> I am restarting
[22:29] <Janhouse> sounds weird
[22:30] <SimSimma> rapha, for the ipod's filesystem
[22:30] <michaeldobrovits> Fillayy, really weird
[22:30] <Fillayy> Awh crap... lol
[22:30] <Fillayy> I even tryed Netbook Remix and nothing
[22:30] <rapha> SimSimma: /dev/sdb2 on /media/Nico's iPod type hfsplus (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks)
[22:31] <michaeldobrovits> Fillayy, i managed to get mine to work with ubuntu 8.04 after i've compiled wireless module and sometimes it still dies
[22:31] <titanium> !remove xubuntu
[22:31] <Janhouse> Fillayy, how old is your Ubuntu setup disc/usb?
[22:32] <titanium> !delete xubuntu
[22:32] <Fillayy> awesome, got internet when plugged in and reset, maybe i can update everything now.
[22:32] <Fillayy> I installed using SD card.
[22:32] <Janhouse> oh, ok
[22:32] <Janhouse> so
[22:32] <Janhouse> update apt repositories and then install b43-fwcutter
[22:32] <Fillayy> whats the command to update?
[22:32] <Janhouse> sudo apt-get update
[22:33] <SimSimma> rapha, try removing it using sudo on the command line such as sudo rm -ir "/media/Nico's iPod"
[22:33] <Janhouse> or open synaptic and press reload
[22:33] <Fillayy> It's updating right now.
[22:33] <michaeldobrovits> Fillayy, good luck.
[22:33] <rapha> SimSimma: not sure I get what you're suggesting - with the "-i" switch i would have to press "yes" manually for a couple hundred files?
[22:34] <Fillayy> b43, what is the command for that one? Sorry, I haven't used Linux in a while.
[22:34] <Janhouse> sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[22:34] <xorwhy> When I try to remove sunjava with APT, it forces the install of openjava. Is there any resolution for a user who doesn't want java support at all?
[22:34] <dugger5688> Fillayy: what computer are you trying to get wireless working on?
[22:34] <Fillayy> Hp mini
[22:35] <dugger5688> Hmm... do you know specifically which card it has?
[22:35] <Janhouse> is it fast? I am thinking of buying netbook some day :D
[22:35] <Fillayy> Alright, got the b43
[22:35] <Fillayy> It is a great laptop, just make sure you get 2 gigs of ram for it and you are in the clear.
[22:35] <Beyecixramd> Janhouse: ANYTHING is fast if it runs Linux ™
[22:35] <Beyecixramd> xD
[22:35] <Janhouse> after installing, I guess you have to run it?
[22:36] <dugger5688> sudo modprobe bc43
[22:36] <SimSimma> rapha, yep. it's a precaution. You can remove it if your sure
[22:36] <Janhouse> or open that System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and  it should be there
[22:36] <michaeldobrovits> Janhouse, don't go for a netbook unless you can manage without hd playback and heavy flash loaded webpages
[22:36] <Janhouse> anyway, after setting it up you should reboot and check if it loads automatically..
[22:36] <Janhouse> michaeldobrovits, can't you buy netbook with Nvidia ION?
[22:36] <titanium> what is the best way to install xp on ubuntu laptop? xen, virtualbox or something else
[22:36] <Fillayy> What?
[22:37] <Fillayy> What is Nvidia ION?!
[22:37] <rapha> SimSimma: just found something that might be even better ... in Synaptic there's a tool called "gtkpod" ... gonna try that one out first :)
[22:37] <TomG> Just do what michael said and stay away from netbooks
[22:37] <vinicius_> the flash player plugin sux on my firefox 3.6
[22:37] <zaxonspox> titanium: iam using virtualbox
[22:37] <michaeldobrovits> Janhouse, you can or even upgrade normal one with crystal hd but still it'll climb 80% cpu load
[22:37] <vinicius_> It's not working correctly
[22:37] <Janhouse> nvidia ion is video card for netbooks and other small pc's
[22:38] <Fillayy> Jan, brb gonna get food. It is installing the driver now and im going to reboot.
[22:38] <rapha> SimSimma: it does offer to delete the files but then when you press "Apply" it gives an error "couldnt delete file such and such" for every file
[22:38] <Fillayy> Oh wait.
[22:38] <Fillayy> I have a choice in the hardware drivers.
[22:38] <Fillayy> Broadcom B43 or STA
[22:38] <Janhouse> you have?
[22:38] <Fillayy> What one to pack
[22:38] <Janhouse> b43
[22:38] <Fillayy> pick
[22:38] <Fillayy> k
[22:38] <FloodBot3> Fillayy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:38] <Janhouse> press on it and push activate button
[22:38] <SimSimma> rapha, what does gtkpod or rm?
[22:38] <SimSimma> rapha, what is such and such?
[22:39] <rapha> SimSimma: that's strange; the mount command had shown the file system to be mounted rw but when I try the rm -ir it complains "rm: cannot remove `/media/Nico\'s iPod/.DS_Store': Read-only file system"
[22:39] <rapha> SimSimma: such and such are the music files
[22:39] <Fillayy> My my screen went blank after I installed, I can see my mouse still though.
[22:39] <Fillayy> Although it is  frozen...
[22:39] <titanium> zaxonspox: i have installed it before... but i had the problem, tha i got only a virtual graficcard
[22:39] <TomG> rapha: Sorry to ask but what are you trying to do?
[22:39] <titanium> how can i get the real one?
[22:40] <SimSimma> rapha, I dont use apple products normally. but the ipod is hfsplus which is the mac file system. I dont know if it has write support (it should though) ill check
[22:40] <rapha> TomG: my brother doesnt want his ipod anymore so he gave it to me and now i'm trying to delete all the songs on it and then put my own there. the strange thing is, i was able to copy the songs to my harddisk and listen to them, but the ipod claims there's no music on it.
[22:40] <stoneman> when i'm watching videos online (example: on youtube), sound is ok but video is choking... some help??? i'm using 9.10...    sorry for bad English
[22:40] <zaxonspox> titanium you are saing you want to play games on XP on VirtualBox and you need a phisical GPU?
[22:41] <TomG> rapha: I suggest you simply bite the bullet and load up itunes on a mac of windows OS then reload the IPOD on that
[22:41] <zaxonspox> stoneman: install video card Driver
[22:41] <titanium> zaxonspox: i don't play games.. i develop software
[22:41] <Fillayy> Oh crud...
[22:41] <SimSimma> rapha,  according to Wiki "There has been some success in porting HFS+ to Linux, at least in non-journaled read/write. If the filesystem is journaled, it will default to mount in read-only mode, but it can be forced to ignore the journal temporarily (by using the 'force' option)."
[22:41] <rapha> SimSimma: well, that gtkpod application claims to specifically support this model ipod and it also claimed to be able to delete the music from it which then didnt work. so i'm guessing it is kinda broken.
[22:41] <michaeldobrovits> zaxonspox, me 2 :)
[22:41] <TomG> rapha: After that, then move back to linux and start fresh
[22:41] <TimothyA> how do i delete all the contents of a big directory? rm doesn't wanna do it
[22:41] <Janhouse> Fillayy, working?
[22:41] <zaxonspox> titanium then looks like you dont need a phisicall GPU
[22:41] <titanium> need a nearly envireoment like a real xp installation... with all ist ressources
[22:41] <SimSimma> rapha, you can always format it

[22:42] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users. Please ignore it, or type « /msg ubottu exploit » for more information.
[22:42] <Fillayy> I think nothing is working at all, after I start up computer, everything freezes and goes black.
[22:42] <rapha> TomG: might be a good idea ... i got a VirtualBox windows machine sitting somewhere ... will i need some sort of apple account or something?
[22:42] <zaxonspox> michaeldobrovits U2 what? :P
[22:42] <rapha> SimSimma: under linux? with hfsplus?
[22:42] <SimSimma> rapha, to something like Fat32 file system.
[22:42] <joshdreamland> Hey, I'm trying to get this USB of mine to store a persistent session. I tried the Windows tool available from pendrivelinux.com, along with a couple other sets of instructions both from there and from elsewhere, but the USB never remains persistent. Right now I'm running a very non-persistent session from my live USB; is there a way to install it persistently to the drive it's on now? (Ubuntu 9.10 AMD 64)
[22:42] <Janhouse> :\
[22:42] <TomG> rapha: No, you can just download it from whereever itunes is.
[22:42] <stoneman> i tried once but i fuc*** all xD... my video card is ati radeon 9200 any link???
[22:42] <rapha> TomG: okay, sounds like maybe the best solution
[22:42] <michaeldobrovits> zaxonspox, need virtual system that will give me full 3d acceleration
[22:43] <Janhouse> Something similar happened to me once. But I was testing alpha release :D
[22:43] <TomG> rapha: That is personally what I do with my sister's IPOD when problems occur
[22:43] <zaxonspox> michaeldobrovits, titanium did you guys installed Guest Additions?
[22:43] <michaeldobrovits> zaxonspox, virtualbox is restricted to 128mb gpu memory
[22:43] <titanium> zaxonspox: i9s it possible to act between xp and linux?
[22:43] <Fillayy> Alright, no wireless.
[22:43] <michaeldobrovits> yep
[22:43] <rapha> TomG: that's funny, everybody seems to have siblings with iPods, but none of their own :)
[22:43] <joshdreamland> I read somewhere that the CD no longer comes with the tool to do that; I was wondering if it would have the same effect if I downloaded it myself.
[22:43] <TomG> rapha: I would never buy one myself
[22:43] <titanium> no have bare basic installation
[22:43] <zaxonspox> titanium yes- network, shares, www
[22:44] <Janhouse> maybe try reinstalling :/
[22:44] <duffydack> joshdreamland, install it properly using the livecd installer, to the usb drive...
[22:44] <SimSimma> rapha, Following the heard
[22:44] <SNIa>  rapha because the parents all have "walkmans" or "discmans" something their kids go.. "whats that?"
[22:44] <TomG> rapha: Proprietary junk like IPODs just frustrate me
[22:44] <Janhouse> usually you just have to update repositories and then install b43
[22:44] <SimSimma> rapha, although I used to have one it was an Ipod Mini. So it was all good.
 i tried once but i fuc*** all xD... my video card is ati radeon 9200 any link for driver?
[22:44] <titanium> zaxonspox: i mean... i develop on linux with eclipse, and want to handle with ms-access... that should work?
[22:44] <duffydack> joshdreamland, or use the creator tool in the livecd..
[22:44] <brax> Alright, I have an HP Pavilion dv7-1245dx, and the sound will simply not work. I have tried a LOT of suggested fixes and troubleshooting, but none of them seem to have any effect.
[22:44] <joshdreamland> duffydack: It won't let me select the USB as the disk.
[22:45] <rapha> TomG: yeah, same for me ... but since it was for free i thought i would give it a try, see what the experience was like under Ubuntu, if it was usable and all
[22:45] <brax> Also, ubutu (karmic) was installed via wubi.
[22:45] <brax> *ubuntu
[22:45] <SNIa> TomG: proprietary sure, but I'd say that the iPhone definitely was one of the forces behind pushing 3.5G / 4G
[22:45] <titanium> ok, my updates are finished now i have to reboot.
[22:45] <rapha> SimSimma: you do seem happier with your Creative device
[22:45] <TomG> rapha: I can say it is very much usable, with patience of course
[22:45] <rapha> TomG: patience like loading up itunes on windows and reinitializing it? =)
[22:45] <TomG> rapha: You may also want to try doing it under Amarok, I hear lots of praise from people who use it on that.
[22:45] <zaxonspox> stoneman what is your problem?
[22:46] <zaxonspox> michaeldobrovits is 128 MB of GPU too less?
[22:46] <michaeldobrovits> zaxonspox, yep
[22:46] <rapha> TomG: if even an rm -rf on the console doesnt work, i doubt amarok has a trick to counter that
[22:46] <SimSimma> rapha, it's a Sansa. I love it. It plays OGGs and FLACs and is pretty resilient sucker considering how rough I am with it.
[22:46] <zaxonspox> michaeldobrovits what for do you need more?
[22:46] <michaeldobrovits> zaxonspox, games
[22:46] <stoneman> zaxonspo  when i'm watching videos online (example: on youtube), sound is ok but video is choking... some help??? i'm using 9.10...    sorry for bad English
[22:46] <rapha> SimSimma: oggs and flacs is a giant plus ofc!
[22:47] <TomG> rapha: Well if you did that on an IPOD, it'd just wipe it out and you'd be left with a flash drive
[22:47] <SimSimma> rapha, I am looking at a Cowon player for my next device. It can play MKVs and tons of more
[22:47]  * rapha would never have bought himself ANY sort of music player ...
[22:47] <polydeuces> Okay guys, I'm going to give installing this on my netbook a shot. Does anyone have experience installing the ubuntu netbook remix onto an acer aspire one? Is there anything I'll need to do to ensure that my wireless will work?
[22:47] <SimSimma> rapha, you can also try installing Rockbox on that ipod. It''ll play OGGs and FlACs and support ReplayGain
[22:47] <rapha> TomG: doesnt work anyway - "read-only filesystem" (despite mount showing it as rw)
[22:47] <zaxonspox> stoneman go to ati/amd website - they have a driver serach panel, enter your video card, dowload drivers and read install instructions
[22:48] <rapha> SimSimma: but to install rockbox i'll need itunes again, right?
[22:48] <Fillayy> When I go to my update manager and try to update I get and error. dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[22:48] <SimSimma> rapha, Nope. Its a third-party firmware http://www.rockbox.org
[22:48] <rapha> aaaah!
[22:48] <Janhouse> try running that in terminal
[22:48] <zaxonspox> stoneman alternatively you can check System>>Administration>>Harware (Proprietary drivers)
[22:48] <SimSimma> rapha, you just have to hope your device is supported. which I think it is
[22:48] <rapha> in that case i won't even try itunes
[22:48] <Brimstones> For Lucid use: Squid version 3 and up... http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions
[22:49] <vinicius_> hey... my flash plugin is not working correctly on my firefox 3.6. Videos on youtube, online games and another stuffs works fine. But i'm trying to open a broadcasting on justin.tv, and when i'm on the "allow" page, it doesn't appear... the "allow window" is in flash (sry about english...)
[22:49] <jasmuz> Anyone into TV tuner cards in ubuntu, i need some helping hands here.
[22:49] <rapha> SimSimma: aw, looks like only nano 1st gen is supported :(
[22:49] <michaeldobrovits> zaxonspox, do you know of a virtual system that can use my gtx 285 acceleration?
[22:49] <jasmuz> rapha: what is your iPod predicament?
[22:50] <SimSimma> rapha, Yep. Guess one of the other methods is the only solution
[22:50] <rapha> SimSimma: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/IpodNano3GPort
[22:50] <zaxonspox> michaeldobrovits mayby try VMware (yes, it cost $$) or install games thru WINE (Proprietary 3D drives are need)
[22:51] <stoneman> zaxonspox it says: No proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[22:51] <rapha> jasmuz: it has music on it which i can play with rythmbox alright, but the ipod itself says there was no music on it and can't delete the music either - not in rythmbox, or nautilus, or on the commandline.
[22:51] <Brimstones> jasmuz: You must load the driver correctly. First find out what driver to use, then how to load it: rmmod drivername ; modprobe drivername tuner=12 etc=34 ...
[22:51] <yacc> Silly question, where do I set the master password for seahorse (or whatever agent is answering the ssh-agent interface in Gnome)?
[22:51] <SimSimma> rapha, Yep well try either reformating it to a more compliant filesystem like FAT32 or rebuilding it with Itunes!
[22:51] <joshdreamland> Bah, installation always makes me want to scream. "If all goes well, you should now be booting from your own personal Live Ubuntu 9.10 USB that allows you to save most of your changes persistently." All /did/ go well, but my USB still isn't persistent.
[22:52] <michaeldobrovits> zaxonspox, i have vmware but never tried it to see what goes there because i don't belive that it'll work and wine doesn't work good, for games i use seperate windows partition
[22:52] <zaxonspox> stoneman is list filled with some drivers you can install? if not go to website
[22:52] <Jeefo666> ïëàêà. îäíàêî =(
[22:53] <jasmuz> rapha: i've had that issue before, you can go 2 ways, do a file checkup with gtkPod or reset your ipod
[22:53] <rapha> SimSimma: from what i understand from what TomG has said, reformatting it would basically brick it?
[22:53] <zaxonspox> michaeldobrovits thats why games i didnt see from long time, so iam just learning/working :P
[22:53] <rapha> jasmuz: is there a way to reset it with linux?
[22:53] <jasmuz> Brimstones: well, it gets loaded by default, but i don't know if its the correct driver, i get no signal at all in tvtime.
[22:53] <jasmuz> rapha, in the settings directory you can reset it.
[22:53] <joshdreamland> duffydack: I missed your reply, sorry. What LiveCD creator tool?
[22:54] <Fillayy> Jan
[22:54] <jasmuz> rapha: i do recommend you use gtkpod, it will fix your database, which is the issue here.
[22:54] <Janhouse> yes?
[22:54] <Fillayy> I figured it out, it wasn't the b43, it was the STA driver.
[22:54] <al-tabq> does anyone know how GROWL is called in ubuntu?
[22:54] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Tvtime is a good program. See which driver is loaded for it, google for your tv card and see how others load it etc.
[22:54] <Fillayy> That driver has everything running smooth.
[22:54] <Janhouse> with broadcom card?
[22:54] <Janhouse> oh, ok :)
[22:54] <Fillayy> Yes.
[22:54] <Janhouse> congrats! :)
[22:55] <michaeldobrovits> zaxonspox, there r some good games out there and most of them are 10 - 15 hours gameplay so you can manage to play work and play
[22:55] <joshdreamland> al-tabq: GROWL, a pidgin plugin?
[22:55] <Fillayy> Thank you for your help, I'd be nowhere if it wasn't for you.
[22:55] <SimSimma> rapha, perhaps I dont know for sure. When I had one I always rebuilt it in Itunes after formatting but you have a new fangled one
[22:55] <Fillayy> I'll come back when I break something!  Thanks!
[22:55] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Do searches using tvtime after each of the ways you load the driver
[22:55] <Janhouse> :D
[22:55] <al-tabq> joshdreamland, i mean the growl like systemwide notifier that rhythmbox, transmission etc are using
[22:55] <duffydack> joshdreamland, the startup disk creator, assuming you have your iso handy on maybe another partition thats accessible from livecd
[22:55] <jasmuz> Brimstones: what you are recommending is flawed
[22:55] <Brimstones> ?
[22:55] <vinicius_> hey... my flash plugin is not working correctly on my firefox 3.6. Videos on youtube, online games and another stuffs works fine. But i'm trying to open a broadcasting on justin.tv, and when i'm on the "allow" page, it doesn't appear... the "allow window" is in flash (sry about english...)! Someone can help me?
[22:56] <duffydack> joshdreamland, it can make a liveusb with persistence.
[22:56] <joshdreamland> duffydack: I have access to a copy of the ISO, yes. How do I access this creator?
[22:56] <Sp3c1alK1> I'm gettin an error of: "could not access PID file for nmbd" and I can't type anything in the console. Even in recovery mode. Help?
[22:57] <jasmuz> Brimstones: i have a card with an SAA7130HA chipset, it gets recognized under /etc/modprobe.d/options as: options saa7134 card=10 tuner=43 alsa=1
[22:57] <duffydack> joshdreamland, system/admin - startup disk creator?
[22:57] <zaxonspox> michaeldobrovits firstly i would need to make work my problematic Integrated ATI Radeon HD3200, the find a solution for WINE/Virtual XP to work properly
[22:57] <joshdreamland> al-tabq: I was unaware GROWL was more than just a compatibility program on Windows
[22:57] <Brimstones> jasmuz: I have the 7134 :)
[22:57] <al-tabq> joshdreamland, isn't it the notifier in mac?
[22:57] <joshdreamland> duffydack: Nope, that was the first place I checked. =\
[22:57] <polydeuces> Okay guys, wish me luck! :D
[22:57] <Ashex> Is there a settings file somewhere that dictates what the default shutdown action is?
[22:57] <joshdreamland> al-tabq: It might be. I know little about Mac's inner workings.
[22:58] <jasmuz> Brimstones: any recommendations then?
[22:58] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Realod it with dirrering tuners, begin at 1 and go to 50
[22:58] <Ashex> I have xbmc running on top of a minimal install, and it looks like when I hit shutdown or the power button it's not doing a full shutdown
[22:58] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Realod it with differing tuners, begin at 1 and go to 50
[22:58] <Brimstones> Spellings :P
[22:58] <thewoolleyman> I am logged in via "sudo chroot /mnt/karmic-uec-amd64 su - ubuntu", but /etc/environment is not getting parsed.  Why?
[22:58] <al-tabq> joshdreamland, no point in that
[22:59] <rapha> jasmuz: it's probably just me being blind, but where is the option to fix the ipod database in gtkpod - can't find it?
[22:59] <joshdreamland> duffydack: Ah, I found it. Thank you.
[22:59] <jasmuz> Brimstones: reload the card number you mean, right? until i find one in the 50 that works??
[22:59] <Brimstones> jasmuz: tuner=1-50 ... the 7130 should be ok as card type
[23:00] <jasmuz> rapha: Main menu--->Check ipod files
[23:00] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Its hard to autoprobe those, because it takes too much time to find those channel-freqs. Thats why its so hard.
[23:00] <rapha> jasmuz: that spits out an amazing number of errors
[23:01] <rapha> warnings, rather
[23:01] <jasmuz> rapha: have it check the filesystem.. and reset it if you may.
[23:01] <djknitex> I got a quick question
[23:01] <Brimstones> jasmuz: You know how long it takes to reliably scan all chennels on a regular tv right ? :(
[23:01] <jasmuz> Brimstones: how do i the procedure?
[23:01] <Brimstones> channels
[23:01] <rapha> jasmuz: more erros ... looks like i'll have to go with iTunes
[23:02] <djknitex> Can anyone help me on a quick question?
[23:02] <zaxonspox> djknitex: ask
[23:02] <Seveas> !anyone | djknitex
[23:02] <Seveas> !ask | djknitex
[23:02] <Brimstones> Reload the driver (rmmod drivername : modprobe drivername WithDiffereningparams, test tvtime)
[23:02] <djknitex> if I get the beta of 10,04, and when the full release is out, can I upgrade to the full from the beta?
[23:02] <jasmuz> rapha: while checking the files, you are supposed to be able to fix it.
[23:03] <al-tabq> does anyone know how the notifier app is called which displays pidgin/rhythmbox/trasmission notes in the top right of your desktop by default?
[23:03] <SimSimma> djknitex, yes.
[23:03] <hey_you> hi, I can't connect to my SSH server. In my login screen, it was written "response: fzSftp started; command: open name@address; error :connection timed out; error : could not connect to server. My 22 port is open through my router and "ssh localhost" allow me to connect. What should I do ? Thk you
[23:03] <xangua> djknitex: yes, try #ubuntu+1 for lucid help
[23:03] <djknitex> If so, do I still do it from the update manager?
[23:03] <rapha> jasmuz: it offers me nothing but to click "OK" - gtkpod 0.99.14
[23:03] <Brimstones> jasmuz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1189681
[23:04] <dugger5688> Anyone know a tool to test the integrity of an SD card?
[23:04] <SimSimma> djknitex, yes or from the command line using dist-upgrade
[23:04] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[23:04] <djknitex> oh alright, thanks everyone, that's all I needed to know
[23:04] <jasmuz> rapha, can you at least sync it with Amarok?
[23:04] <jasmuz> Brimstones: thanks.
[23:04] <calum> I have a shell script that I want to execute on Ubuntu startup. It is on the desktop. How can I get it to execute when Ubuntu starts? (I'm on Jaunty)
[23:04] <jasmuz> dugger5688: what issue are you having?
[23:05] <dugger5688> jasmuz: my step mom's SD card blanked on her, I'm thinking user error, but I wanted to check to make sure it's not dead.
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> calum: add an entry in te startup item to run the script
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> !startup | calum
[23:05] <krainnem> hej krejzole
[23:05] <zaxonspox> calum copy it to /etc/init.d/<name> make symlink to /etc/rcS.d/
[23:05] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Np, dont give up because its cool to have tv on the computer. Does tvtime have time-scheduled recording nowdays ?
[23:06] <calum> Thanks for responses
[23:06] <dugger5688> jasmuz: also, it formats fine and seems to read/write fine, pretty fast too.
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> calum: if you copy it to /usr/bin then you don't need to specify the full path
[23:06] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Otherwise id like to have that coded into it.
[23:07] <jasmuz> dugger5688: connect it via your card reader, then open a terminal do a tail -f /var/log/messages , read the latest messages concerning your card.
[23:07] <jasmuz> Brimstones: that would be really cool.
[23:07] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Check really quick to see if it has it already ..
[23:07] <calum> ActionParsnip: So I just copy the executable script to that folder without specifying a path?
[23:07] <dugger5688> jasmuz: lol, should've though of that.
[23:07] <Brimstones> Could be a google summer of code project or something maybe.
[23:08] <jasmuz> dugger5688: hehe.. at your service.
[23:08] <Salva1> I see that Ubuntu has a manpages site. Is there some package in the repository to download all those pages in one time?
[23:08] <jasmuz> Brimstones: you should recommend it to GSOC
[23:08] <jasmuz> Salva1: why would you want to have manpages of programs you don't have installed?
[23:09] <Salva1> Yes.
[23:09] <zaxonspox> Salva1: man pages are also in distro in teminal type man <some_command>
[23:09] <Salva1> And installed too.
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> calum: no, if you put the script in /usr/bin you will be able to call it without having to type ~/Desktop/scriptname when you want it, just like you dont use full path names for the commands you use like apt-get and cp
[23:09] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Im trying to minimize my computing stuff to making some apps. Maybe you or someone else can add it to GSOC ?
[23:09] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip: he want to run it with Ubuntu start
[23:10] <jasmuz> Brimstones: i wish, today is my only day off.. generally i'm doing hospital work.
[23:10] <haavaros> How do I add entries with a space in it in .gtk-bookmarks? I've tried backslash space too
[23:10] <zaxonspox> calum copy script to /etc/init.d/<script_name> then make an symlink to /etc/rcS.d/S55<script_name>
[23:10] <calum> ActionParsnip: In reply to zaxonspox, yeh it is a terminal startup script. It will ask you for a password it runs at boot
[23:11] <duffydack> haavaros, not sure... tried using " "
[23:11] <ActionParsnip> calum: so it needs root, and needs to be ran before the gui loads?
[23:12] <calum> ActionParsnip: It shuts down Apache server and MySql when you reach the gnome desktop. It shows up in a normal terminal
[23:12] <ActionParsnip> !startup | calum
[23:12] <zaxonspox> calum eee, not that way
[23:12] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Ok, maybe someone else heard us out of these 1416 peoples ;)
[23:13] <zaxonspox> calum just remove startup script from /etc/rc2.d/ with apache and mysql
[23:13] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Nice talking to you.
[23:13] <jasmuz> Brimstones: hahaha, i hope so. Anywho, i will start working on the tv card a little bit later, its one of my weekend projects.. Take care.
[23:14] <Brimstones> jasmuz: Same same, cya
[23:14] <rapha> jasmuz: bit hesitant to install amarok because of all the kde deps ... trying with itunes now
[23:15] <zaxonspox> calum just remove startup script from /etc/rc2.d/ with apache and mysql
[23:15] <Brimstones> rapha: rhythmbox is nice. Always picked up the itunes or etc players hds as well.
[23:15] <calum> sorry i keep lagging out
[23:15] <zaxonspox> calum just remove startup script from /etc/rc2.d/ with apache and mysql
[23:15] <jasmuz> rapha: i rather install amarok, then uninstall it than place something propietary like iTunes
[23:16] <calum> zaxonspox: Is that what starts Apache and Mysql at startup?
[23:16] <Brimstones> rapha: Also the ipods. It was a question you had right ?
[23:17] <Crayboff> ok, i'm currently on a live cd, and need to access the files in my wubi installation, I already tried https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How can I access my Wubi install and repair my install if it won't boot?
[23:17] <junmin> hello, please anybody could paste me the default ubuntu kernel config file? thanks
[23:17] <rapha> Brimstones: yeah, well, it seems like the iPod is a bit borked
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> rapha: theres gtkpod for ipods
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> junmin: what is the file name you need?
[23:17] <rapha> jasmuz: doesnt hurt me to put itunes into a virtualbox :P
[23:17] <rapha> ActionParsnip: that cant fix it as well
[23:17] <zaxonspox> calum yes, mine are S91apache2 and S19mysql. Remove them from /etc/rc2.d or change ther names replacing S with K as i good remember
[23:17] <hey_you> hello, i need help to establish my ssh connection. Anyone has a little bit of time ?
 but I get this error: /win/ubuntu/disks/root.disk: No such file or directory
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> rapha: some versions of  itunes run with some versions of wine
[23:18] <Brimstones> rapha: Are the Ubuntians taking a timeout or why cant you have it fixed ?
[23:18] <ActionParsnip> rapha: its easier to use a more open minded product than the constrictive beuracracy of apple
[23:18] <junmin> ActionParsnip: zcat /proc/config.gz > ubuntuconfig | wgetpaste please
[23:18] <jasmuz> rapha: not really, but if you don't need to use that kind of options having free ones.
[23:18] <rapha> Brimstones: people tried to help, but nothing worked
[23:18] <blacksunseven> anyone here use vmware-player?
[23:18] <rapha> ActionParsnip: yeah but i only want itunes to fix the ipod and then to use rythmbox
[23:19] <Brimstones> rapha: The device hd isnt getting mounted and shown on the desktop ?
[23:19] <junmin> ActionParsnip: or this one, /boot/config-`uname -r` :P
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> junmin: i dont have /proc/config.gz
[23:19] <rapha> ActionParsnip: also i would have never bought an iPod for myself (let alone any kind of music player) but my brother gave it to me and i thought i'd just check it out, see if i can get it working, and then maybe give it to my girlfriend (but she uses ubuntu only, too)
[23:19] <calum> blacksunseven: I'm using vmware player on Ubuntu 9.04
[23:19] <Scott0> i have 4 gigs of ram installed, and ubuntu 64 bit seems to only see 2.9 of it
[23:19] <Scott0> anyone know what  might cause this
[23:20] <rapha> Brimstones: oh yes it is, and i can listen to the music, too. but i can't do anything that requires a write operation on the device.
[23:20] <Jordan_U> Crayboff: Do you have your windows partition mounted to /win?
[23:20] <blacksunseven> calum: do you find it to be an enormous processor hog? i've got it tied to only 1 core of my quad core cpu but my entire computer is nearly unusable because of it
[23:20] <Crayboff> Jordan_U: ya i did sudo mount /dev/sda1 /win
[23:20] <Jordan_U> Scott0: What is the output of "uname -a"?
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> junmin: just a sec
[23:21] <Scott0> Linux Green 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[23:21] <rapha> Brimstones: also, the ipod claims not to have any music on it
[23:21] <acicula> Scott0: what kind of hardware?
[23:21] <Brimstones> rapha: Aha. Maybe its been disabled in wait for a rewrite of the code that manipulates the datas due to it perhpas beeing insecure somehow ?
[23:21] <calum> blacksunseven: It slows it down a bit, but that is only when I am using Windows Aero in the virtual machine. And I'm using an AMD dual core @ 2.0GHz
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: what is the output of: uname -a
[23:21] <Jordan_U> Crayboff: Is there an "ubuntu" directory there?
[23:21] <Brimstones> rapha: Ah, well that kinda blows :P
[23:21] <Crayboff> no
[23:21] <blacksunseven> calum: wow, i've got a AMD quad core using windows xp and my computer chugs
[23:21] <Scott0> anyone?
[23:22] <Jordan_U> Crayboff: Do you see your other windows directories there?
[23:22] <acicula> Scott0: what kind of hardware?
[23:22] <Crayboff> Jordan_U: you mean in /win ? if so, there isn't
[23:22] <rapha> Brimstones: dunno ... will see what itunes says
[23:22] <ActionParsnip> junmin: http://pastebin.com/sFejC67j
[23:22] <calum> blacksunseven: How much RAM did you give the VM?
[23:22] <Brimstones> rapha: Ive had some parties where people wanted to plug in those. At first i thought, oh well... lets give it a try, not expecting it to work... but those always did, flawlessly.
[23:22] <blacksunseven> calum: 1GB (out of 4GB)
[23:22] <Scott0> acicula: what hardware would matter?
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: 2nd time, what is the output of uname -a
[23:23] <Jordan_U> Crayboff: Then you're mounted the wrong partition, sda1 is likely a recovery partition.
[23:23] <greezmunkey>  blacksunseven: were you able to figure out a solution for your ftp server?
[23:23] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: He already posted it.
[23:23] <Crayboff> Jordan_U: do you know what i have to do to get the right partition?
[23:23] <dugger5688> Why VMplayer? Why not use VirtualBox-ose?
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: my bad, weird
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: got it
[23:23] <kalauz1> hello all, I have some problems to pair with a device via bluetooth without the window manager installed (its  an headless server and have to pair with a phone), any hints?
[23:23] <Brimstones> rapha: I even think Apple manages CUPS now as well. Dont they ?
[23:24] <blacksunseven> greezmunkey: i think so. i dont know how secure it is but i've set the permissions of the original mount points such that the sftp group doesnt have write access
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: are you fully updated?
[23:24] <greezmunkey> blacksunseven: yup, use group privs...that is about all that was left.
[23:24] <calum> blacksunseven: That should run OK. I only have 3 GB of RAM. You might want to turn down any desktop effects on the host machine though. I disabled compiz and it seems OK but its a bit slow, but it is usable
[23:24] <junmin> ActionParsnip: thank you!
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> junmin: no worries dude
[23:25] <blacksunseven> calum: yeah, sad part is exact same setup in 8.04 was flawless
[23:25] <Jordan_U> Crayboff: "sudo umount /win" then "sudo mount /dev/sda2 /win", then check to see if /win contains your windows files. If not then repeat but mount /dev/sda3,4 etc.
[23:25] <acicula> Scott0: igp's mostly, just listing the chipset/proc/gpu or type/brand of the computer would help
[23:25] <Brimstones> rapha: that said, whenever i see a supposedly "Apple fan" say that Linux or OpenSource sucks ill have to admit i think they are lying or dont know anything about nothings ;)
[23:26] <rapha> Brimstones: if i was king of the world, they weren't allowed to execute such a draconian regime on whatever they please. whether it be apple or microsoft or whoever, capitalism often seems to come in its worst forms in the it industry.
[23:26] <neen> hi guys, i'm using screen on my ubuntu server as user a. i login to the box as user b. when i 'su a' as user b, and then type 'screen -r' i get "Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/2' - please check."
[23:26] <Brimstones> rapha: Digging further often leads to a (woe)man with stakes in msft
[23:26] <shubbar> how do i know which dev and external hdd is? I need to check it with fsck.
[23:26] <duffydack> If linux sucks so bad, they better stop using the internet as well as most of the pages served are linux servers.
[23:26] <Scott0> AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
[23:26] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: try: sudo parted -l
[23:26] <greezmunkey> Brimstones: heh, since their os is based on open source software...
[23:27] <Brimstones> rapha: Agreed
[23:27] <dugger5688> shubbar: sudo fdisk -l
[23:27] <neen> i've googled it, and it says to chmod /dev/pts/2...however....i have to do that every time i start screen, from what i can tell. is there any other way to solve the issue?
[23:27] <chrometiger> what is the best setup for Wine to mimic in order to play WoW ?
[23:27] <rapha> Brimstones: well, i'm running lucid with avant window navigator and had an apple fanboy ask me last week how the heck i had gotten MacOS X installed on my ThinkPad and what version of it anyway
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: or: sudo blkid   you can then read your fstab file to see what is being mounted where
[23:27] <Brimstones> rapha: haha!
[23:28] <rapha> Brimstones: so i guess the good thing about having the window buttons on the LEFT is that apple fanboy take us seriously now :-)
[23:28] <dugger5688> Haha, wasn't there a sticky on Ubuntu forums about wine and WOW.
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> rapha: tell him to look into hackintoshes ;)
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> dugger5688: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[23:28] <rapha> ActionParsnip: oh noes, let osx remain on the mac ... i dont need people asking me to support their hackintoshes, too!
[23:28] <dugger5688> Not for me, for chrometiger
[23:29] <Crayboff> Jordan_U: alright it was /sda3 now what do i do? there are certain files i need to retrieve from this, and I can't figure out where they are
[23:29] <chrometiger> i'll check it out
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> chrometiger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[23:29] <greezmunkey> Crayboff: do you know the filenames?
[23:29] <Brimstones> rapha: I want more Linux/etc buttons if the useless windows button stays. I would also like to cut the numpad (Majority of the people dont use it anyhow)
[23:29] <peacengell> hi everybody
[23:29] <peacengell> how r you phillw
[23:29] <peacengell> i did get virtual box install
[23:30] <peacengell> and i install ubuntu server 9.010
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> peacengell: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose
[23:30] <peacengell> 9.10
[23:30] <Sp3c1alK1> When someone says "remove quiet and splash from the grub boot entry" that means editing the entry by pressing 'e' right?
[23:30] <Brimstones> rapha: Thatd fix the numlock madness once and for all! / One aaand for allll! :)
[23:30] <peacengell> i did
[23:30] <calum> ActionParsnip: I am in the rc2.d folder and I see a file called mysql which is a shell script but it is already numbered, it is called "S19mysql". Do I need to change that?
[23:30] <cane> I need help with a very old computer\
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> calum: i'm not familiar with rc levels
[23:30] <Crayboff> greezmunkey: i forget what they are off the top of my head. I know they are in  ~/Documents/ though
[23:30] <peacengell> now the problem is i can ping from the virtual machine to any website
[23:30] <rapha> Brimstones: also installed lucid on a PC on sunday that is used by completely illiterate people ... it works nicely for them, in principle, but after 2 hours they had already managed to delete all (!!) panels - which i wouldnt know how to do even if i wanted to. that's still a big problem with ubuntu for "normal" people - panels and their contents and them always managing to mess that up. we really need a solution for that...
[23:30] <peacengell> but i can't ssh to the vbox
[23:31] <chrometiger> it doesn't say which to use on wine to mimic it just say's pick one, i just wondered if one is better than the other for wow
[23:31] <rapha> Brimstones: sorry, not illiterate, COMPUTER illiterate, ofc
[23:31] <cane> I need to install Ubuntu, without the use of a CDROM or USB Drive. All I have is a floppy
[23:31] <TomG> Sp3clalK1: That will only work for that boot.  If you want to remove it for good, modify the /etc/default/grub.cfg
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> peacengell: you need to change the vbox setting so that it uses a bridged connection, it will appear as a physical PC on your LAN DHCP list
[23:31] <peacengell> ok
[23:31] <xangua> cane: better buy a new one
[23:31] <maco> rapha: ubuntu, kubuntu, or xubuntu? because it should be completely impossible to remove the last remaining panel in gnome, other than to kill gnome-panel (and even then, it'll respawn)
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> peacengell: or you can add a rule to forward the port, using bridged lan is waaaay easier
[23:31] <Sp3c1alK1> TomG: I can't edit that, my system is getting stuck on an error and wont boot past that
[23:32] <Crayboff> greezmunkey: Jordan_U: the only folders I see in /win/ubuntu are  /docs  /install   /winboot  then there's:  curl_log.txt   metadl_log.txt    Ubuntu.ico    Uninstall-Ubuntu.exe
[23:32] <peacengell> can i use nat is it dificult to configure actionParsnip
[23:32] <cane> xangua, trying to continue to use the hardware since it still works
[23:32] <peacengell> can
[23:32] <calum> peacengell: Are you trying to SSH into a virtual machine?
[23:32] <TomG> Sp3clalK1: Then yes, 'e' will allow you to edit how it boots for that time
[23:32] <peacengell> cane try tinylinux
[23:32] <greezmunkey> Crayboff: you are trying to retrieve files from a wubi install, from windows, is that right?
[23:32] <Sp3c1alK1> TomG: Do you have to save the grub file before you boot, or does it boot with the edit you made using ctrl-x ?
[23:32] <rapha> maco: ubuntu. and i tell you they _did_ manage to remove it. i saw it. there was no panel.
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> peacengell: the system is on a 10.0.1.x network, not your LAN's. If you switch to bridged it will get an IP from your router etc and be fine
[23:33] <xangua> cane: not with ubuntu if it's very very old
[23:33] <greezmunkey> Crayboff: I should say wubi filesystem...
[23:33] <maco> rapha: perhaps the panel crashed?
[23:33] <peacengell> i thing it's call tomcat linux correct me if i'm wrong
[23:33] <cane> All it's used for it to display one webpage
[23:33] <Brimstones> rapha: Yeah, some people are utterly uncool when it comes to living in a harmonious-pc-way at all :) Ive seen one old lady drag C: into the trashcan! ... My girlfriend spill cocacola on my laptop... :)
[23:33] <peacengell> ok
[23:33] <peacengell> yeah
[23:33] <epaphus> Hey guys.. what is the best way to keep users from changing their appearance?
[23:33] <maco> rapha: cuz the right click option to remove a panel goes away if its the only one
[23:33] <Scott0> i have 4 1 gig sticks in, how can it show only  gigs?
[23:33] <Crayboff> greezmunkey: I need to get files from a wubi filesystem. the existing programs do not work because I can't find C:/\
[23:33] <TomG> Sp3clalK1: It doesn't save.  You are modifying it for only that one particular boot
[23:33] <peacengell> i did  check that
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> cane: you can use unetbbotin but i think a floppy may be a little too small
[23:33] <epaphus> desktop background
[23:33] <Crayboff> err
[23:33] <Scott0> 3 gigs
[23:33] <Crayboff> greezmunkey: ubuntu\disks
[23:33] <peacengell> so it's dificult or can be done
[23:33] <rapha> anyone know if rythmbox will still be able to use the ipod if i let itunes install version 1.1.3 of the firmware on it?
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: have you tested your ram for errors?
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> Scott0: do you have the latest bios?
[23:34] <Sp3c1alK1> TomG: bummer, still doesn't work. I'm locked out of my computer then =s
[23:34] <peacengell> ActionParsinip
[23:34] <Dragzard> Does anyone know if Mozilla has a IRC channel?
[23:34] <Crayboff> greezmunkey: so my last chance is to use the live cd, so I'm trying to access wubi files from a live cd now
[23:34] <Brimstones> rapha: Ask yourself how they nkew enough to "Unlock" the panel and remove it
[23:34] <TomG> Sp3clalK1: Like I said, you will need to modify the etc/default/grub.cfg and erase those, then save and run 'sudo update-grub'
[23:34] <greezmunkey> Crayboff: yikes, you could probably boot from a live cd, then play with it to access your files.
[23:34] <dugger5688> rapha: not sure, apple's attitude towards open source lately has been less than enlightened.
[23:34] <greezmunkey> heh
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> Dragzard: if you join #mozilla you will be shown the server and channel
[23:34] <Scott0> ActionParsnip: i will consider those tests
[23:34] <rapha> maco: I know!!! and it hadn't crashed, it was still gone after a reboot. it's magic, somehow...
[23:34] <Sp3c1alK1> TomG: Yeah, but my system doesn't fully boot.
[23:34] <Sp3c1alK1> TomG: so I can't edit that
[23:34] <calum> Dragzard: Try irc.mozilla.org. I have heard that they do...
[23:34] <neen> anyone have any ideas
[23:34] <TomG> Sp3clalK1: When did this happen and are there any errors?
[23:35] <Brimstones> rapha: "This is your final panel, want to remove it...", "Are you really really sure you idiot... :P" etc
[23:35] <Dragzard> Thanks you two.
[23:35] <peacengell> is it easy to use nat or i should go to briged
[23:35] <greezmunkey> Crayboff: there are folks here that are *way* better at that than I, I'll bow out - good luck.
[23:35] <Crayboff> greezmunkey: that's what i'm trying to do right now, but i can't find the data files
[23:35] <polydeuces> Hey all, I'm experiencing an issue installing the Ubuntu Netbook Remix onto my Acer Aspire One (AOA150) from a bootable flash drive.  Anyone have any idea what this is caused by?
[23:35] <maco> rapha: is the "restore session on login" setting set? because thatd make it so if it crashed before the end of a session it wouldnt start on the next session
[23:35] <Crayboff> Jordan_U: any ideas?
[23:35] <peacengell> polydeuces
[23:35] <Sp3c1alK1> It happened right after I got done setting up all of my stuff after a fresh install. I'm getting "Could not access PID file for nmdb"
[23:35] <polydeuces> Yes?
[23:35] <cane> Is there a why to do a network install, booting for a floppy to install ubuntu
[23:35] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I'm going to build a new computer and I'm looking for recommendations for motherboards... or even a pointer to a good review  site.  I want one (motherboard) that is fully linux supported.
[23:35] <peacengell> how you did you ubuntu to usb
[23:35] <Sp3c1alK1> TomG: It happened right after I got done setting up all of my stuff after a fresh install. I'm getting "Could not access PID file for nmdb"
[23:35] <ActionParsnip> polydeuces: did you MD5 tes the file you downloaded?
[23:36] <peacengell> use a script to mount the iso
[23:36] <Guest27587> okay
[23:36] <polydeuces> The program for making a bootable drive is on the ubuntu website
[23:36] <polydeuces> actionparsnip, I have no idea what that is
[23:36] <xangua> !ot > dsnyders
[23:36] <peacengell> i have that problem then i use a script to start the setupo from the iso file
[23:36] <peacengell>  polydeuces try google it
[23:36] <Crayboff> For peeps who don't know: I need to access wubi files from my live cd. The wubi wiki FAQ does not help because i can't find /ubuntu/disks  I have windows mounted right now, but i can't find the files
[23:36] <polydeuces> How do I do that, peacengell?
[23:36] <ActionParsnip> polydeuces: its a way to verify the file you downloaded was consistant and complete. You havent checked ours so you nhave no way of knowing what you have downloaded isn't complete rubbish
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | polydeuces
[23:37] <peacengell> how to start ubuntu installing from iso
[23:37] <peacengell> i have the script on a pan drive in the shop i work
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> peacengell: you can add the iso to the grub config it can be booted from, grub2 can do this nicely
[23:37] <peacengell> sorry i can't tell you now
[23:37] <peacengell> yeah
[23:38] <peacengell> i thing is't something like that
[23:38] <rapha> maco: can't check now - they live in another city and after i added the panel back they haven't had a problem again so far
[23:38] <polydeuces> Okay, I'll give that a shot
[23:38] <peacengell> sorry dear don't have the config with me try google it
[23:38] <Brimstones> rapha: Did you see that Donkey Kong world record-trying-to-takers on some channel today ? / amazing! :)
[23:38] <ActionParsnip> peacengell: you can even install grub2 on a floppy and have the iso on a cd if your system cannot boot cd
[23:38] <rapha> maco: ofc, i'm slightly crazy/stupid installing beta2 of some ubuntu version on some computer newbs' pc
[23:39] <shubbar> how can i check and fix a fat32 drive?
[23:39] <rapha> Brimstones: nope, don't even understand what you're trying to tell me ...
[23:39] <Brimstones> rapha: nm
[23:39] <rapha> =)
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: fsck.vfat will check it
[23:40] <cane> Can a network install be done using a floppy drive?\
[23:40] <ActionParsnip> cane: some distros do it
[23:40] <Brimstones> rapha: Guys in their prime, where out of jobs and set the world record in playing Donkey Kong :P
[23:40] <xorwhy> After successfully installing a wireless driver using ndiswrapper, can ndiswrapper be removed?
[23:40] <Jordan_U> Crayboff: Are you sure that you now have the correct partition mounted? Can you check for your documents and settings folder to confirm?
[23:40] <xangua> xorwhy: no
[23:40] <shubbar> fsck.vfat gave me this error "Logical sector size (64543 bytes) is not a multiple of the physical sector size."  what could be the problem?
[23:41] <TomG> Sp3clalK1: Check private message.
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> cane: http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst#verysmall
[23:41] <cane> ActionParsnip, so ubuntu does or doesn't have a network install, booting intially from a floppy
[23:41] <Crayboff> Jordan_U: I can walk through any of my windows folders. and there is no /sda4
[23:41] <Brimstones> rapha: Guinness records. Kind of cool program... maybe on discovery or so. /Devotion to the max
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> cane: not sure, i found that like using jeeves my wig man
[23:42] <Jordan_U> Crayboff: What happened before wubi stopped being bootable?
[23:42] <Sp3c1alK1> TomG: I'm using a command line version of irc (irssi) - don't know how to check private messages =s
[23:42] <Brimstones> ActionParsnip: wingman ?
[23:42] <Sp3c1alK1> TomG: Let me goole.
[23:42] <ceil420> Sp3c1alK1: alt+[number of window]
[23:42] <rapha> Brimstones: ah, TV - I threw mine away in 2000 ... haven't regretted doing so.
[23:42] <ceil420> Sp3c1alK1: or /window [number of window]
[23:43] <Crayboff> Jordan_U: my battery died while i was writing a paper. i had chrome open and a terminal that was ssh'ing to a server i use for irssi
[23:43] <cane> ActionParsnip, down some searching before jumping on here
[23:43] <rapha> hahahahah
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> Brimstones: yeah, i use jeeves a lot, he's a good searcher :D
[23:43] <dugger5688> TV sucks, I'm happy I'm moving and can't take it with me.
[23:43] <Sp3c1alK1> ceil420: sweet, thanks
[23:43] <ceil420> np
[23:43] <rapha> iTunes says "Error restoring the iPod. 1429"
[23:43] <radar3d> hey all which is better Virtualbox or VMWare Player?
[23:43] <Brimstones> rapha: Good, i have those Phat TVs. I cant throw them out the window so ill have to live with 'em :( :)
[23:43] <dugger5688> I like virtualbox
[23:43] <rapha> oh my GOODNESS
[23:43] <rapha> apple is STUPID
[23:43] <Jordan_U> !best | radar3d
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> radar3d: neither is better, each has advantages and disadvantages
[23:44] <mgmuscari> what's the easiest way to have my system automount cifs shares on start? i've got them in my fstab but of course if it's processed before networking is brought up, no dice...
[23:44] <rapha> when you click the "more info on this error" button you get a 404
[23:44] <TomG> rapha: Correct.
[23:44] <ActionParsnip> radar3d: just like there is no best colour
[23:44] <xorwhy> Is there a way to configure "advanced properties" of my wireless card after having installed it with ndiswrapper?
[23:44] <radar3d> damn ya'll I was asking for YOUR personal opinions
[23:44] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: And no best spelling of color ;)
[23:44] <dugger5688> ubottu is fiesty lately, warning about g!, even when we're just posting search results where the 1st result is the answer.
[23:44] <cane> radar3d, VBox is better for me, easy to simulate a system with more then one HDD
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> radar3d: you are using an OS full of choice and customization then ask in an irc channel to make decisions for you... it makes no sense
[23:45] <Brimstones> rapha: Seen the new v-series ?
[23:45] <radar3d> thanks cane
[23:45] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_U: yep, the english way, which is what american's apparently speak but can't spell
[23:45] <duffydack> Brimstones, it has potential.. I`m still waiting for it to see it
[23:45] <rapha> Brimstones: no idea what you're talking about again :)
[23:46] <Crayboff> Jordan_U: I have to leave right now, if you wouldn't mind PM'ing me your ideas or hilighting me with them when you think of what i should do, i would be gratefull
[23:46] <cane> radar3d, anytime man
[23:46] <Gibby69> after update, how can i alter screen resolution in ubuntu 9.10
[23:46] <greezmunkey> ActionParsnip: hmm...
[23:46] <Brimstones> duffydack, rapha: lizards trying to steal all the wather as in the 1984's? movies ?
[23:46] <gameware> in ubuntu karmic what is the difference on the nvidia 173 / 96 / and 185 driver
[23:47] <Brimstones> water
[23:47] <cane> seems like my old pc's are screwed-LOL
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> gameware: supported video card
[23:47] <erUSUL> gameware: hardware supported; older cards use older driver revision
[23:47] <dugger5688> gameware: different card seriers
[23:47] <duffydack> Brimstones, no, I mean the telling of the old story... unless they go the BSG route and redo it
[23:47] <duffydack> Brimstones, its quite a weak remake thus far..
[23:47] <xorwhy> I think gameware was asking about the differences between those drivers with respect to video cards that have the option of using two or more
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> cane: grab a PATA cdrom drive and install using it, you dont ave to screw it in. just get it usable
[23:48] <r00ster> Hey guys
[23:48] <Brimstones> http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085106
[23:48] <r00ster> I have an issue, and no one has been able to help me
[23:48] <gameware> i believe i have a 7950 series nvidia card what driver should i use then
[23:48] <r00ster> i am stuck in a login loop
[23:48] <Brimstones> duffydack: I think its rather good. Im liking it.
[23:48] <r00ster> when I login at startup
[23:48] <r00ster> it accepts the user and pass
[23:48] <dugger5688> gameware: whichever ubuntu "recommends" in the hardware panel thing.
[23:49] <r00ster> quickly jumps to a terminal screen
[23:49] <cane> ActionParsnip, the system is an old crystal box-Attempting to save a client some money
[23:49] <duffydack> Brimstones, if it doesnt get better soon, it`ll make my sickness of having Sarah Connor Chronicles axed when a ton of crap gets funded still, much worse..
[23:49] <r00ster> and then back to login
[23:49] <SuspectZero> hey there, quick question, is it possible to send an email from my hotmail account, using bash scripting? or something similar?
[23:49] <edomeda> what is the name of the old "add/remove software" package?
[23:49] <gameware> does it make a difference if i dont choose the recommended driver
[23:49] <Jordan_U> cane: You can use gPXE
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> SuspectZero: you may be able to telnet to the smtp port on the hotmail server
[23:49] <Brimstones> duffydack: To be fair i even think its the best scifi since SG/Strek
[23:49] <cane> Jordan_U, pPXE ?
[23:49] <dugger5688> gameware: yes, might not work. Get 'low graphics' mode.
[23:50] <gameware> gotcha thanks
[23:50] <duffydack> Brimstones, Flash Forward is the best thing on tv at the moment..
[23:50] <Jordan_U> cane: http://boot.kernel.org/
[23:50] <SuspectZero> ActionParsnip, thanks i'll check it out
[23:50] <greezmunkey> ot
[23:50] <Brimstones> duffydack: A new Flash Gordon ? :)
[23:50] <duffydack> ok.. OT
[23:50] <Brimstones> Okies
[23:50] <Armageddon> greezmunkey, where do I find the interface thingy again ?
[23:51] <duffydack> ambiance theme + xchat makes it hard to see what channel button is 'pressed in'
[23:51] <greezmunkey> Armageddon: network? ifconfig, interfaces file /etc/network/interfaces...?
[23:52] <r00ster> I have a problem, I can't get past my GNome login screen. I pass authentication, then the screen turns black(terminal) quickly and returns to login asking me the user and pass again...
[23:52] <Brimstones> A classic: http://mange.dynalias.org/linux/misc/2nd_pm.s3m
[23:52] <r00ster> I check my .xsession.errors file and it said that that there is a problem accessing my .profile file
[23:53] <greezmunkey> r00ster: new install?
[23:53] <r00ster> well, it's worked for a week or so
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> r00ster: can you log in as a different user?
[23:53] <sagaci> is there a way to change the gnome theme via the terminal
[23:53] <r00ster> nope
[23:53] <r00ster> tried that
[23:53] <greezmunkey> r00ster: what happened right before you started having the problem?
[23:53] <r00ster> I had a dual view thing going
[23:54] <r00ster> so it might be a display issue...
[23:54] <Armageddon> greezmunkey, where do I find the interface thingy again ? the one that makes nm-applet manage my wireless
[23:54] <Dink> Other than the netbook gui are there any other tweaks in the netbook iso ? ie kernel, minimal packages etc ?
[23:54] <r00ster> i was looking for a displays.xml file i could remove so that gnome could regenerate one automatically
[23:54] <greezmunkey> Armageddon: you need to be sure that your desired interface is not included in /ect/network/interfaces
[23:54] <Brimstones> r00ster: Nvidia problem, ALT+F1 to swtich to a new terminal then edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to read Driver "nv" instead of Driver "Nvidia"
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> Dink: different WM to maximise screen realestate
[23:55] <r00ster> that's xubuntu guys have been doing to fix this problem
[23:55] <nmoureyii> Can I run the amd64 version of ubuntu on an Atom N450?
[23:55] <Dink> Basically would like to have a materialistic version. Would it be better to use the lucid alt iso and install cli then install the netbook-remix package ?
[23:55] <Dink> err minimalist
[23:55] <dugger5688> nmoureyii: you could try booting it with the live cd, couldn't hurt.
[23:55] <zebastian> hello, I am on ubuntu hardy on my laptop, I am thinking of installing windows 7 and dual booting, can this be achieved without having to uninstall and reinstall ubuntu again? can someone direct me to a site that explains how to do this?
[23:55] <CaptainTrek> nmoureyii, yes, if the Atom N450 supports 64-bit architecture, is this for a netbook though?
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> nmoureyii: http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=42503 says its 64bit
[23:55] <r00ster> Brimstones, I am not using an nvidia card
[23:55] <Armageddon> greezmunkey, should I pastebin ?
[23:55] <Armageddon> !paste
[23:55] <greezmunkey> ]Arok
[23:56] <Brimstones> r00ster: What card then ?
[23:56] <nmoureyii> It's for a Toshiba  NB305
[23:56] <greezmunkey> Armageddon: ok, sorry, hands are a bit tired from chopping wood.
[23:56] <dugger5688> Brimstones: do you think he should check the permissions on his ~/.profile?
[23:56] <CaptainTrek> nmoureyii, is that a netbook?  i'm too lazy to load up Firefox since it already caused me to force-reboot once today
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> nmoureyii: if it has less than 3Gb ram then 32bit will be absolutely fine
[23:57] <Brimstones> r00ster: Maybe its an nvidia card only you dont think so... ive not seen this issue on any of my other computers / cards...
[23:57] <r00ster> Brimstones: it's and intel onboard mobile card
[23:57] <btakita> Hello, I need help diagnosing slow disk cached reads (using hdparm -T). I'm on 10.04. Which room should I go to?
[23:57] <Brimstones> dugger5688: ?
[23:57] <Armageddon> greezmunkey, http://paste.ubuntu.com/417593/
[23:57] <Brimstones> r00ster: Numbers/Version ?
[23:57] <r00ster> pretty sure it aint nvidia
[23:57] <erUSUL> btakita: #uubuntu+1
[23:58] <cane> anyone now how to move to RAID0 from the default LVM install on Ubuntu Server 9.10 ?
[23:58] <CaptainTrek> r00ster: pastebin output of the command: "lspci; lsusb" (without quotes)
[23:58] <btakita> erUSUL: Thanks
[23:58] <Brimstones> r00ster: My GMX 3100 is ok
[23:58] <edomeda> what is the name of the old "add/remove software" package?
[23:58] <r00ster> Brimstones: Intel GMA 4500MHD
[23:58] <sagaci> btakita: ubuntu+1
[23:58] <greezmunkey> Armageddon: what is it that you need to do, have NM manage the wireless, if so put a hash (#) in front of those two lines.
[23:58] <nmoureyii> CaptianTrek : On there website they call it a mini notebook.
[23:58] <dugger5688> Brimstones: he said it couldn't access his .profile
[23:58] <Brimstones> r00ster: Or, GMA 3100 HD ... hmm, ok... not the same
[23:58] <CaptainTrek> yeah, thats an Intel card (non nvidia / ati)
[23:58] <CaptainTrek> nmoureyii: how much RAM?
[23:59] <zebastian> hey, i don't want to lose my current settings by doing a clean install again, how can i install windows and dual boot without having to do this
[23:59] <btakita> sagaci: Thanks for the clarification
[23:59] <r00ster> Brimstones: like dugger5688 said
[23:59] <nmoureyii> CaptainTrek :  1 G
[23:59] <Brimstones> dugger5688: Youre talking to the wrong nick. Np....
[23:59] <Armageddon> greezmunkey, I need nm-applet to manage my wireless again
[23:59] <greezmunkey> Armageddon: then issue: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[23:59] <CaptainTrek> nmoureyii: dont go with 64bit.  use 32bit, since 64bit needs more RAM
[23:59] <Armageddon> what two lines ?
[23:59] <greezmunkey> Armageddon: see above please
[23:59] <Armageddon> greezmunkey, what two lines ?
[23:59] <zebastian> i want to leave my current installation untouched
[23:59] <mrb> hey
[23:59] <greezmunkey> Armageddon: the last two
[23:59] <Brimstones> r00ster: Eh ? ... A graphics card that wants access to your home folder ?
[23:59] <dugger5688> r00ster: try ls -lsh ~/.profile
[23:59] <mrb> anyone might help me with my DVB scan !?


[12:51] <guiverc> there is a child in #ubuntu (notliks)
[22:18] <tomreyn> thanks for the notice, guiver. no one was around then - but generally such notices best go to #ubuntu-ops, where possible.
