[12:38] <petsounds> hi. does anybody use gmameui for playing games? i have donwload gmameui but i don't know how can i play classic game on it. i try to load the roms but it doesn't work.
[12:38] <bazhang> petsounds, downloaded from where
[12:39] <silv3r_m00n> does the ubuntu live cd have gparted
[12:39] <silv3r_m00n> ?
[12:39] <bazhang> silv3r_m00n, yes
[12:39] <kinja-sheep> silv3r_m00n: Yes.
[12:39] <petsounds> bazhang, gmameui from synaptic and the roms from googling.
[12:40] <floating_> I installed lxde, and tried to remove gdm from starting at boot, but still it starts. Tried removing it with update-rc.d and rconf. any ways I know why it still starts ?
[12:40] <floating_> rcconfrcconf
[12:41] <bazhang> petsounds, not sure sdlmame has worked here in the past
[12:42] <bazhang> floating_, what version of ubuntu
[12:42] <floating_> 9.10
[12:42] <bazhang> floating_, lubuntu-desktop package ?
[12:42] <kitikri> hey guys, something really weird happening with my box - Alt+Fn changes consoles. for example, Alt-F4 closes a window and immediately after that changes to VTY4. any hints? :/
[12:43] <c3l> What program would be best for ripping cd's to various mp3 qualities? flac should be possible too
[12:43] <floating_> bazhang: nope. I installed lxde though after adding the ppa with lubuntu-desktop packages. So when I just did apt-get install lxde, I think it picked up a newer pcmanfm from that ppa maybe?
[12:43] <guntbert> kitikri: is <ctrl> active/locked/... ?
[12:44] <edakiri> what is the default firefox homepage for KK?
[12:45] <floating_> bazhang: I guess I can try install that package instead of lxde, first purging the lxde ?
[12:45] <kitikri> guntbert, I'm not sure, but it definitely isn't stuck lol. sticky keys are off, if that's what you mean
[12:45] <bazhang> floating_, not sure about that PPA; wish I could advise better, sorry
[12:46] <floating_> I wonder if I can uninstall lxde with just apt-get remove lxde, or do I need to purge something
[12:46] <bazhang> installed with aptitude?
[12:46] <HypothesisFrog> hi. I would like to get one of those printers that has a CD tray, and can print directly to a CD face. Can ubuntu drive those things easily? Is there a printer you can recommend?
[12:47] <guntbert> kitikri: it could be a bit of dust too - I'm asking because usually you get that behaviour with <ctrl><alt>
[12:47] <kinja-sheep> edakiri: Kubuntu does not use firefox by default. Look in Komposer (sp) web browser.
[12:47] <floating_> bazhang: I installed with apt-get
[12:47] <kitikri> guntbert, yep, i double checked :D all is working as usual, ctrl+c copies, etc. I think the X configuration might have something to do with
[12:47] <guntbert> kitikri: then no more ideas - sorry
[12:47] <bazhang> kinja-sheep, kongueror you mean? or other
[12:48] <edakiri> I'm not using Kubuntu.
[12:48] <kinja-sheep> bazhang: Yes, that is it. :)
[12:48] <kitikri> guntbert, thanks anyway :]
[12:48] <kinja-sheep> HypothesisFrog: I think any LightScribe printer will work since LightScribe have provide a driver for it -- http://tinyurl.com/us5un
[12:49] <kinja-sheep> HypothesisFrog: You'll have to get a special dust color discs.
[12:49] <iflema> c3l try sound-juicer
[12:49] <c3l> iflema, ty
[12:49] <HypothesisFrog> kinja-sheep special dust colour?
[12:50] <kinja-sheep> HypothesisFrog: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LightScribe#Other_uses
[12:50] <creatrixsblood> can anyone help me with kdenlive issues?
[12:50] <HypothesisFrog> kinja-sheep thanks
[12:50] <kinja-sheep> HypothesisFrog: Look at the whole thing. It is not your everyday discs.
[12:51] <silv3r_m00n> kinja-sheep: any idea on my earlier query .... 4 primary partitions or 2 primay + 2 logical or 1 primary + 3 logical ?
[12:51] <TimothyA> how do i check all text files on the system for a specific word?
[12:51] <Riverthief> Sup guise
[12:52] <kinja-sheep> silv3r_m00n: Grab small hard drive for Core(OS). Use 1TB for Storage(Media).  Keep things separate and clean.
[12:52] <Riverthief> I was wondering, how do I setup Tor in Ubuntu 9.10? Or any good VPN for that matter
[12:52] <iceroot> TimothyA: grep -ir *.text /  i would use  if the ending is text
[12:52] <silv3r_m00n> I have only 1 hdd
[12:52] <silv3r_m00n> that's a 1TB
[12:52] <iceroot> TimothyA: ah wrong mom
[12:52] <iceroot> TimothyA: grep -ir string-to-find /  i would use  if the ending is text
[12:53] <c3l> iflema, how do I set that I want to use V0 as encoding, or 320kbps or so=
[12:53] <iflema> TimothyA find
[12:54] <kinja-sheep> silv3r_m00n: You're having hard time deciding what to set up for partitions. I say forget it. What if you want to format and reinstall? Then you'll have to deal with partitioning and workaround (as not to lose data).
[12:54] <Riverthief> So...anyone know?
[12:54] <kitikri> Riverthief, hamachi is a nice and easy way to use vpn :]
[12:54] <Riverthief> So...it's a VPN on it's own?
[12:54] <silv3r_m00n> kinja-sheep: hmm
[12:55] <kitikri> yep, although it's not the same as Tor
[12:55] <creatrixsblood>  can anyone help me with kdenlive issues?
[12:55] <kitikri> tor just bounces your connection through multiple nodes, thus hiding your ip
[12:55] <Riverthief> Yup
[12:56] <kitikri> I use hamachi all the time to connect to pcs behind NAT
[12:56] <kitikri> you should check it out :)
[12:56] <Riverthief> So, hamachi is a VPN, Onion network, squid proxy, or......?
[12:56] <kinja-sheep> silv3r_m00n: I have a machine dedicated to HTPC (Home Theater PC) running XBMC, I have 20GB for that plus 2TB for media. Also, I have a home machine using 20GB for core, and 3 of 300GB.
[12:56] <TimothyA> how do i check all text files on the system for a specific word?
[12:56] <kitikri> hamachi is a vpn
[12:56] <kinja-sheep> silv3r_m00n: It is easier if you format the whole hard drive and use folders instead of partitions.
[12:57] <kitikri> links a couple of pcs as if they're in the same LAN
[12:57] <Riverthief> Is it in the repositories? I can't find it anywhere lol
[12:57] <kinja-sheep> silv3r_m00n: This way, it is cheap and worth in the long run.
[12:57] <vlt> TimothyA: grep, maybe in combination with find
[12:57] <LjL> kitikri: well, tor does more than that, although that might not be relevant
[12:57] <silv3r_m00n> hmm
[12:58] <kitikri> LjL, yes, I'm not very familiar with Tor anyway :)
[12:59] <kitikri> Riverthief, use http://tinyurl.com/ydwk6th
[12:59] <iflema> TimothyA find / -type f -exec grep "text-" {} /dev/null \;
[13:00] <soopos> What is the encoding that has tags "<80>" and "<98>"?
[13:00] <kitikri> there also must be a howto on installing it in the forums :]
[13:00] <Riverthief> Tyvm kitikri :)
[13:00] <userfriendly> 'ello. i need libboost for thrift, at least version 1.34.0 - is it recommendable that i stick with that version or use one of the available newer ones? the karmic repo sure has a lot of them, up to 1.40.0
[13:00] <Indy^> I gonna ask a very newbie question here but Im trying to start Putty on startup to run in the background after the internet connect starts...so I have sleep:60; Putty -load Proxy but this will attach to a terminal window what is the command line to run it in the brackground
[13:00] <iflema> c3l  select ouptput format then edit... then do homework ;)
[13:00] <Riverthief> URL of forums?
[13:00] <c3l> iflema, ooowh, i dont understand how to set those settings. is there some example or so that I can look at?
[13:01] <Riverthief> All I see is some page with no forum link lol
[13:01] <Riverthief> Like, on hamachi.cc
[13:02] <iflema> TimothyA yeah
[13:03] <TimothyA> can I have an example? :)
[13:03] <TimothyA> ah, it's up there
[13:03] <TimothyA> wait, what's the /dev/null about?
[13:04] <hatake_kakashi> a device where nothing exists, so if you send anything there, you won't get it back
[13:04] <Craig_Dem> What is the ubuntu info package called?
[13:04] <Craig_Dem> That gives the distro name and software sources correctly.
[13:05] <iflema> TimothyA put ya word where it says text.... dont ask me how it works... it just does
[13:06] <TimothyA> iflema; it doesn't
[13:06] <TimothyA> it just throws everything at me
[13:06] <TimothyA> instead of what I'm looking for
[13:06] <iflema> does 4 me
[13:07] <TimothyA> guess I'll just reset my IP
[13:07] <iflema> TimothyA you want to find a file by searching one word? yes/no.
[13:07] <kitikri> Riverthief, http://tinyurl.com/y8lrsyw it's a bit old, but it should give you some guidance
[13:08] <iflema> TimothyA one word contained in a file?
[13:08] <TimothyA> yep
[13:08] <iflema> TimothyA find / -type f -exec grep "text-" {} /dev/null \;
[13:08] <iflema> TimothyA put ya word where it says text.... dont ask me how it works... it just does
[13:08] <TimothyA> but it doesn't!
[13:08] <Riverthief> K man, ty :). Now, just so I know we're on the same wavelength, this will hide my ip address, right?
[13:09] <iflema> TimothyA ok
[13:09] <jrib> iflema: what is the /dev/null for?
[13:10] <iflema> jrib as i said... dont ask me how it works... it just does
[13:11]  * jrib does not believe one should run commands he does not understand
[13:11]  * kinja-sheep randomly start nuking his machines
[13:13] <jrib> iflema: seems like it was a trick to get grep to print filenames if grep didn't have -H
[13:14] <iflema> jrib you wanna make it look pretty?
[13:14] <jrib> iflema: hmm?  no, I just like to understand things :)
[13:15] <iflema> jrib do you know of /dev/null?
[13:15] <jrib> iflema: yes
[13:16] <TimothyA> I suddendly have 60% more harddisk space
[13:17] <iflema> lol

[13:31] <meowbuntu-afk> hi is there a command to terminate all running apps at once
[13:32] <LjL> meowbuntu-afk: there is one to terminate all running *processes*, but processes are more than just your graphical apps, so you may not want to do that
[13:32] <Sturskycz> I have a hardisk of 500 GB. First, I have installed ubuntu 8.10 on 50 gb and then i have installed xp pro sp2 on 450 gb. My problem is that when i turn on pc it starts with xp. So with live cd ubuntu I have typed in terminal a series of strings, and now my pc starts with ubuntu, but I don't see xp. help help
[13:33] <meowbuntu-afk> LjL, well all running apps then
[13:33] <LjL> meowbuntu-afk: isn't that similar to logging out?
[13:33] <soopos> How can you solve the permission denied about cython at http://dpaste.com/146011/ ?
[13:34] <Sturskycz> now I have upgraded ubuntu version to 9.04
[13:34] <Sturskycz> but i don't see xp the same
[13:35] <iflema> Sturskycz in a terminal type gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst. edit this you will
[13:35] <jrib> !info cython | soopos
[13:35] <jrib> soopos: use the repositories grasshopper
[13:35] <meowbuntu-afk> oh you mean Ctrl+Alt+backspace or menu>exit>logout
[13:35] <meowbuntu-afk> ^ LjL
[13:35] <LjL> meowbuntu-afk: yes - although ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't really work anymore, so now that would be alt+sysrq+k
[13:37] <ChogyDan> Sturskycz: you could upgrade to grub2, that should give you the os detection script, which will automate adding windows to your menu
[13:37] <meowbuntu-afk> sysrq = ??????
[13:37] <soopos> jrib: What is "repositories grasshopper"?
[13:37] <LjL> meowbuntu-afk: it's usually on the printscreen key
[13:37] <bazhang> !repos | soopos
[13:37] <Sturskycz> ok
[13:37] <Sturskycz> I try grub2
[13:37] <soopos> jrib: Do you mean to get the tarball of cython at its homepage and then install it manually?
[13:38] <Sturskycz> how can i upgraded to grub2?
[13:38] <LjL> soopos: no, he means the exact opposite
[13:38] <jrib> soopos: no, do you know about Synaptic?
[13:38] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install cython
[13:38] <meowbuntu-afk> LjL, do i need to press shift to use sysrq
[13:38] <LjL> meowbuntu-afk: no
[13:39] <ChogyDan> !grub2 | Sturskycz
[13:39] <soopos> jrib: Yes, I do
[13:39] <jrib> soopos: I mean for you to use it
[13:40] <meowbuntu-afk> LjL, well all alt+sysrq+k is doing is printing screen
[13:40] <LjL> meowbuntu-afk: uh, weird.
[13:40] <meowbuntu-afk> nope
[13:41] <soopos> jrib: I already reinstalled the package with synaptic, but the problem seems to remain as there is no cython at /usr/local/bin/
[13:41] <jrib> soopos: there shouldn't be any cython in /usr/local/.  Why are you looking for it there?  Pastebin the output of « apt-cache policy cython »
[13:43] <soopos> jrib: http://pastebin.com/f2630358d
[13:43] <meowbuntu-afk> ctrl+alt+backspavce dont work y
[13:44] <meowbuntu-afk> * backspace
[13:44] <jrib> soopos: and my first question?
[13:45] <Powderking> I'm trying to install Ubuntu Server to an embedded system (Alix2d2 with AMD Geode). I described my problem here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1381446. What is the best way to do this?
[13:45] <meowbuntu-afk> LjL, what about ctrl+alt+F1
[13:46] <LjL> meowbuntu-afk: that doesn't kill anything, it just *switches* to a textmode terminal, but X and all apps are still there
[13:46] <soopos> jrib: The installation seems to refer to it
[13:46] <jrib> soopos: that's for manual installation.  You have installed it already by installing the cython package.  Move on to actually using cython
[13:48] <soopos> jrib: But what about the permission denied message in the install.log
[13:48] <soopos> jrib: Why is the system trying to install cython as I have it?
[13:48] <jrib> soopos: well that's part of "installing".  Move on to "using".  Here: http://docs.cython.org/src/quickstart/build.html
[13:48] <jrib> soopos: your system doesn't do anything you don't tell it to
[13:49] <jrib> soopos: is there something other than using cython you are trying to do?

[13:58] <ben_germany> hi guys!
[13:58] <ben_germany> does anyone have a little time to help me with a problem?
[13:59] <[NL]Tjibba> just ask
[14:00] <ben_germany> alright
[14:00] <ben_germany> i just installed ubuntu
[14:00] <ben_germany> and i have an ati graphics card, so i downloaded the drivers from their website
[14:00] <ben_germany> afterwards ubuntu told me it wanted to update some stuff
[14:00] <ben_germany> so i did that
[14:00] <ben_germany> and now after the reboot, the ati driver seems kind of messed up
[14:00] <Diverdude> I am running matlab. It seems that when I have done some very heavy calculations in matlab, the entire linux system starts to lag and the header disappears from the windows so I cannot move them around and basically I have to restart the machine before its good again. This happens even if I close matlab after the calculations. What is the cause of that?
[14:01] <ben_germany> i can still use the hdmi port and all resolutions, but i cannot use desktop effects on normal or high, and the scrolling is awfully slow
[14:01] <soopos> jrib: My irssi is running at my Uni's server. They are very paranoid. It is apparent that they have blocked something which blocks the piping to me
[14:01] <ruadh> kinja-sheep, ubottu: got it, d/l it and it looks good. Thanks
[14:02] <HypothesisFrog> where's a good place to store fonts on ubuntu? /usr/share/fonts ?
[14:02] <kinja-sheep> ruadh: Great. There also are inkscape and gimp but that's more of artistic. However, I find inkscape to be easy after few hours of practices and I was able to make a nice restaurant meal out of it.
[14:02] <jrib> soopos: there's no piping, ubottu just sends you text the same way I do
[14:02] <ben_germany> should i just reinstall the ati drivers?
[14:02] <jrib> kinja-sheep: wait.  I can make /meals/ in inkscape?
[14:02] <ben_germany> or would that be bad^^
[14:03] <kinja-sheep> jrib: Make a brochure. Chomp chomp it away.
[14:03] <jrib> ben_germany: if you installed the ati drivers manually by downloading them, then you need to always reinstall them after a kernel upgrade.  It's easier if you just use the repositories
[14:03] <jrib> !ati > ben_germany
[14:03] <Diverdude> I am running matlab. It seems that when I have done some very heavy calculations in matlab, the entire linux system starts to lag and the header disappears from the windows so I cannot move them around and basically I have to restart the machine before its good again.

[14:22] <bullgard5> Tm_T: But gdm does not tell me what libraries it needs additionally. How should I proceed?
[14:23] <mikeyfbi2> i'm in failsafe terminal, is there any command to boot from cd?
[14:24] <mikeyfbi2> can you force boot from cd, from terminal?
[14:24] <Tm_T> bullgard5: see to which libraries ekiga package depends
[14:24] <vlt> mikeyfbi2: Not from the shell you're on now. Your BIOS should do that or something like ultimatebootcd.com
[14:24] <mikeyfbi2> vlt, yeah bios fails ... it's set to boot first, but never does ... i'll check that link
[14:25] <Powderking> vlt: Yes, my /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/357580/
[14:26] <B3rz3rk3r> mikeyfbi2, that is a BIOS option. If its not working then the either the disk doesnt work (corrupt/not properly burned), or something else is trying to take priority in which case remove all other option from the list
[14:26] <mikeyfbi2> B3rz3rk3r, this is definitely the case, i just dont know how to fix it ... so im looking for a way around it
[14:26] <B3rz3rk3r> mikeyfbi2, you could also just manually choose to boot from disk during POST
[14:26] <vlt> mikeyfbi2: wait, I think ubcd doens't help when you can't boot from CD ;-)   There's something you can load from grub, but I forgot the name.
[14:26] <flexible> hey, about a week ago i stopped being able to boot into Ubuntu, GRUB failed to load the menu and just forever stayed at "GRUB Loading" - i've given up trying to fix the bootloader... i'm struck another problem. i'm unable to reinstall as the installer either restarts when it begins copying files, or i get an error message saying something along th elines of "unable to copy files to /"
[14:27] <Powderking> Or is there a way to install ubuntu without cd-rom from another linux running on the embedded system?
[14:27] <B3rz3rk3r> flexible, sounds like you need to format the drive and start again

[14:28] <dinosaurvskitten> anyone have any luck with gecko-mediaplayer? Here there's a lot of flickering and there is no audio at all.
[14:28] <mmaruseacph2> are there any drivers or applications that i need to install?
[14:29] <dinosaurvskitten> mozilla-mplayer at least sort of worked
[14:29] <mmaruseacph2> it doesn't seem to be working as it is now
[14:29] <arvind_khadri> BitByte, no :)
[14:29] <bullgard5> Tm_T: I scrutinized Synaptic for libraries (having 'lib' in their name) on which ekiga depends. I could not find a single one.
[14:30] <Zanti_nix> What is a good DVD authoring tool to use?
[14:30] <arvind_khadri> bullgard5, apt-get depends ekiga on the terminal grep it with lib
[14:31] <arvind_khadri> bullgard5, sorry apt-cache depends
[14:33] <erUSUL> bullgard5: apt-cache depends ekiga
[14:34] <bullgard5> arvind_khadri, erUSUL: This obtains 27 hits.
[14:35] <arvind_khadri> bullgard5, what exactly are you searching for, it also includes dependencies of libnotify
[14:35] <erUSUL> bullgard5: yes; so? what are you trying to do? i just joined
[14:36] <Gesi> hi
[14:36] <arvind_khadri> !hi
[14:36] <bullgard5> arvind_khadri: Exactly to "see to which libraries ekiga package depends" as Tm_T suggested.
[14:36] <Gesi> can someone help me with tar.gz installing
[14:36] <jrib> Gesi: what are you installing?
[14:37] <arvind_khadri> bullgard5, they are the libs on which ekiga depends

[14:37] <bullgard5> arvind_khadri: Yes.
[14:38] <arvind_khadri> bullgard5, ekiga-dbg, is useful when you are debugging ekiga

[14:48] <MORPHEUS> quale il canale italiano?
[14:48] <IdleOne> Zeonisis: I don't see anything that might do what you want but you could do it with GIMP.
[14:48] <erUSUL> bullgard5: you have to install the gdb versions of the main libs the program uses if i read here correctly https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSeahorse?highlight=%28gdb%29
[14:48] <arvind_khadri> tps_, it supports cam on xmpp that is google talk
[14:48] <hhlp> !it | MORPHEUS
[14:49] <discoteka> tps.. skype?
[14:49] <erUSUL> bullgard5: debugging seahorse and ekiga should be pretty similar both are gnome programs
[14:49] <MORPHEUS> lo so ogni volta non so quale server utilizare :)
[14:49] <Zeonisis> GIMP does PwNxOr, but It doesn't have a color smoothing tool.

[14:50] <llutz> bullgard5: ldd $(which app)
[14:50] <erUSUL> bullgard5: see the ones for seahorse as both are gnome apps both use the same main libs
[14:51] <tps_> arvind_khadri: but do you know of any other IM client that support cam for say, hotmail, yahoo and stuff?
[14:51] <erUSUL> bullgard5: if you want to be 100% sure then install the gdb of the 27 libs ekiga usas
[14:51] <arvind_khadri> tps_, gyachi does it for yahoo
[14:51] <arvind_khadri> tps_, also kopete
[14:51] <unop> tps_, empathy too perhaps

[15:12] <aperson> is it safe to clear /var/lib/apt/lists?
[15:13] <erUSUL> Curly_Q: yes i know what posix is, but again posix spec does not cover the compiler only the Operating system API and some tools. Linux is posix compliant bash can be. but there is no spec for a posix compliant C compiler

[15:15] <schay> hay
[15:15] <CAPcap> what windows based programs can ekiga talk to?
[15:16] <erUSUL> Curly_Q: writte posix compliant C programs in linux that will run unmodified in windows ??? then you can do that with mingw
[15:16] <Curly_Q> I was interested in the most compatible compiler whereas in most cases a C compiler is required for many Linux installations.
[15:16] <phox_> How do i see my local ip in terminal?
[15:16] <grawity> CAPcap: Any that uses SIP.
[15:16] <erUSUL> Curly_Q: the most used compiler in Linux is gcc
[15:16] <kinja-sheep> phox_: ifconfig
[15:16] <erUSUL> phox_: ifconfig
[15:17] <Curly_Q> I have had many compile with the GCC compiler erUSUL.
[15:17] <erUSUL> Curly_Q: if you want to program in linux in C you use gcc
[15:17] <Curly_Q> compile errors that is.
[15:17] <grawity> CAPcap: So, Ekiga, Gizmo, and a few others. ("Windows Messenger", which comes with WinXP, also has SIP support, though hard to find.)

[15:17] <CAPcap> thank you grawity

But I don't know how to install GRUB on the card over USB on the running Ubuntu system :-(
[15:21] <Curly_Q> Well, erUSUL, Red Hat 9 will not compile the Bahamut ircd source code.
[15:21] <grawity> Hanako: Run "id" and it will list all groups you have currently. "id hanako" will list all groups user "hanako" has. (They are _usually_ the same.)
[15:21] <bullgard5> erUSUL: No, not in these 2 channels which you suggested. Rather, their topic is different.
[15:21] <bazhang> Curly_Q, does ubuntu enter into this somewhere?
[15:21] <erUSUL> Curly_Q: we do not support red hat here
[15:21] <grawity> Curly_Q: How about inspircd, charybdis, ircd-seven?
[15:21] <TrumpCard> Xyzumi: what's your problem: no sound or no flash in opera?
[15:22] <Hanako> grawity: groups=1000 for Hanako, 33 for www-data
[15:22] <Curly_Q> Yes. Bazhang, I was wondering if there were an ircd Bahamut server that can be compiled with Ubuntu.
[15:22] <grawity> Hanako: Then add 'hanako' to the www-data group?
[15:22] <grawity> Hanako: Use gpasswd.

[15:26] <Curly_Q> Grawity, is that ircd dependent solely by itself or is it dependent upon a network externally?
[15:26] <TrumpCard> Xyzumi: does it work now?
[15:27] <grawity> Curly_Q: ...what exactly do you mean by that?
[15:27] <Xyzumi> TrumpCard: no... should I restart ubuntu?
[15:27] <Curly_Q> Is it a private server?
[15:27] <Xyzumi> TrumpCard: I've just restarted Opera
[15:27] <Curly_Q> I am working on an IRC Server for my University students.

[15:30] <Curly_Q> My Network Academy teaches CISCO and A+ Certification as well as N+. I would like the students to keep in touch in real time.
[15:30] <fariadantes> btw - it is possibble - i repeat - it is possible to reach your macosx hdd after any problem with ubuntu disk : ))))
[15:30] <Curly_Q> I know that there are Jave applications that talk to IRC servers.
[15:31] <Curly_Q> Real time Java on a live web-site.
[15:33] <Curly_Q> Consequently, if a student does not want or does not have the skills to use IRC, the web site will suffice to make the connection from the Professor to the student.
[15:34] <Sunboy2> Hi. Has anyone had problems running rhythmbox and vlc in the same session?
[15:34] <jriehle87> does anyone know where recordmydesktop saves the videos?
[15:34] <Sunboy2> It seems that vlc makes rhythmbox suddenly forget how to play mp3s until I restart my xserver
[15:35] <Curly_Q> Grawity, thanks again for your time. God bless you.
[15:35] <Curly_Q> Take care.

[15:46] <lynxsys> hey all
[15:46] <evergreenn> meindian523, yes
[15:47] <meindian523> evergreenn, isn't this a hardware issue, if your scanner has a parallel port connector, and your motherboard has the corresponding female port, you should be able to
[15:47] <lynxsys> If Ubuntu has no root user and pass then how would I change the file permissions on say a the /var/www forlder to allow users to upload to it via ftp?
[15:48] <IdleOne> lynxsys: using sudo
[15:48] <evergreenn> meindian523.  the scanner is connected, but xsane does not read, because the drivers are missing

[15:57] <Powderking> I'm following the guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromCForUSBStick). But since I have GRUB 2 on my system /boot/grub/menu.lst is missing. Can I simply use /etc/default/grub as a replacement? What else do I have to consider?
[15:58] <evergreenn>   meindian523.           the scanner is not USB
[15:58] <melvincv> how do you see what all processes are using network bandwidth?

[16:00] <pallkars> Yo. I have an ubuntu server that I want to use as a router. As I have understood, it is masquerading that I want to work with. Is there any good user friendly software for this purpose whit features so that I can use one network card as input for the computers in the network and one as output to the www? also to use my wireless card as well as input. Being able to determine IP-range, forward ports etc for the computers in the network would be cool as well
[16:00] <llutz> !ics | pallkars
[16:01] <pallkars> llutz: Thanks. :)
[16:03] <kbmaniac> possibly dumb question, are you supposed to be able to drag and drop apps to different workspaces via the workspace switcher ?
[16:04] <blendmaster1024> kbmaniac, yes....?
[16:04] <meindian523> blendmaster1024, well, I can't, and I'm assuming kbmaniac can't either
[16:04] <kbmaniac> OK so when I click and drag them they dont move ...
[16:04] <Hinata> Hi, is there a way to know what is using a certain port because it looks like my mpd is having someproblem with port 6600 http://pastebin.com/d6d5f1b08 ^ ^;
[16:05] <kbmaniac> so what is the secret button / tequnique ?
[16:05] <trism> kbmaniac: you can always right click on the title bar and select move to workspace
[16:05] <llutz> Hinata: lsof -i/netstat -tulpen
[16:05] <meindian523> evergreenn, dunno, couldn't find anything
[16:05] <erUSUL> Hinata: sudo lsof -i :port_number
[16:05] <|{oeN> hi all
[16:05] <kbmaniac> trism, yep do that but moving via switcher would be faster ...
[16:06] <kbmaniac> and looks like it should be possible
[16:06] <pluhngz> hello
[16:06] <gui7> does ctl+c stop a running command?
[16:06] <blendmaster1024> hmm, doesn't work for me either now that i try. it used to work, though, in older versions of ubuntu... try this, though: you know how you can switch workspaces with ctrl+alt+arrow?
[16:06] <blendmaster1024> yes, gui7
[16:06] <Hinata> gui7: normally yes
[16:07] <evergreenn> meindian523, I do not understand
[16:07] <blendmaster1024> what Hinata said
[16:07] <meindian523> evergreenn, I couldn't find anything related to your problem
[16:07] <gui7> crap, im used to using it to copy+paste, just ended a 1tb trasnfer halfway thru :-/
[16:07] <blendmaster1024> kbmaniac, add shift to that combination (shift+alt+ctrl+arrowkey) and the active window comes along
[16:07] <kbmaniac> blendmaster1024, did not know about ctrl-alt-arrow, cool,
[16:08] <pallkars> Hm, how can I list my ethernet controllers?
[16:08] <meindian523> blendmaster1024, didn't know about shift+ctrl+alt+arrow, cool
[16:08] <pallkars> I want to know which eth* is my wireless card
[16:08] <kbmaniac> blendmaster1024, it does too ... still the graphics seem to indicate that a drag drop should happen
[16:08] <Pathero-ng> hello ubanto users
[16:08] <llutz> pallkars: iwconfig
[16:08] <Pathero-ng> I want to know what if I want some documents to be rly secure would it be good to make them owned by root not by user
[16:08] <evergreenn> meindian523, ok thanks
[16:09] <cvbrg> pallkars: ifconfig -a
[16:09] <blendmaster1024> kbmaniac, that's what i thought.
[16:09] <meindian523> Pathero-ng, you would do better to encrypt them
[16:09] <evergreenn> meindian523.  We would like some guru
[16:09] <Pathero-ng> without encryption
[16:09] <jon5000> hello.  using ubuntu 9.10 and trying to set up printer: Brother MFC 685-CW to work.  I can find it in the network but the driver is not listed so I went to brother, followed the pre-req. directions/commands and opened the .deb driver file.  Received "dependency is not supportable" error.  I have a feeling brothers drivers may be old.  can anyone help?
[16:09] <Pathero-ng> can I make them readable by root only and no one else would that be aweoms
[16:09] <kbmaniac> blendmaster1024, googleing ...
[16:09] <Pathero-ng> that way only the user with the paswword can read it right
[16:10] <pallkars> llutz: http://pastebin.com/m5f9cc924   That is odd. I have a wireless card plugged in.
[16:10] <llutz> pallkars: lspci/lsusb
[16:10] <meindian523> Pathero-ng, you could set it read only by any user
[16:10] <gui7> what can i use to copy+paste in a terminal then if ctrl+c isnt an option?
[16:10] <meindian523> yourself for example
[16:11] <reverseblade> hello i mistakenly wiped out my ubuntu partition and i want to boot into windows . But when I boot up Grub gives an error. I am in live cd now. How do I fix ?
[16:11] <pallkars> llutz: http://pastebin.com/m2540a4b0   Here I can see all three
[16:11] <meindian523> gui7, select to copy, and middle click mouse to paste?
[16:11] <gui7> what can i use to copy+paste in a terminal then if ctrl+c isnt an option?
[16:11] <gui7> ah ok

[16:11] <gui7> thanks meindian523
[16:11] <Pathero-ng> read ? that's why I dont'w ant
[16:11] <Pathero-ng> any user to read it wtf
[16:11] <kbmaniac> blendmaster1024, looks like its a side effect of having eye candy
[16:12] <Hinata> gui7: ctrl + alt + c
[16:12] <llutz> Pathero-ng: lspci -v |grep 802.
[16:12] <llutz> pallkars: ^^
[16:12] <blendmaster1024> kbmaniac, makes sense
[16:12] <Hinata> gui7: that is if you are not using a tty...
[16:12] <gui7> ah, i am, thx tho Hinata
[16:12] <meindian523> Pathero-ng, I mean read only
[16:12] <Hinata> gui7: look for screen
[16:12] <pallkars> llutz: but I still don't know what eth* the wireless is at. xP
[16:13] <guntbert> Pathero-ng: did you enable the root account?

[16:13] <trism> kbmaniac: yeah it must be, cause I have compiz disabled and it seems to work fine
[16:13] <Pathero-ng> no I have not
[16:13] <Hinata> gui7: screen can copy and paste things
[16:13] <meindian523> Pathero-ng, by one user, so no other user can read it
[16:13] <Pathero-ng> I just want to know if I can set read by owner onlyt
[16:13] <llutz> pallkars: seems no driver is loaded, so no eth device created
[16:13] <Copter> hi guys, can i install ubuntu from a disc on key?
[16:13] <Pathero-ng> by root so in order to read I would sudo everytime nano

[16:14] <Copter> (is it recommended?)
[16:14] <pallkars> llutz: I see. So I need to install a driver for it? How do I do that?
[16:14] <Pathero-ng> so then is a good idea
[16:14] <Hinata> gui7:  ctrl + a than [ to copy and ctrl + a + ] to paste (using screen)
[16:14] <guntbert> Pathero-ng: then where would be the added security?

[16:24] <Pathero-ng> you can access your router via firefox
[16:24] <Pathero-ng> as in windows
[16:24] <Pathero-ng> unless it has a telnet server
[16:24] <CAPcap> ok... well i havent done anything with the router since i set it up ages ago.
[16:25] <CAPcap> nvm forget it
[16:25] <lynxsys> iceroot: tried that "The program 'unzip' is currently not installed"
[16:25] <Pathero-ng> cap
[16:25] <gui7> to make netcat even more verbose, would it be "nc -v -v etc"?

[16:31] <Queops> Copy here, copy there
[16:31] <Queops> create new folder
[16:31] <jriehle87> Hello, you seem to have JavaScript turned off.  Please enable it to see search results properly.
[16:31] <meindian523> macman_, Samba should work
  if you are using firefox try this...
[16:31] <duffer> !Restricted
[16:31] <guntbert> macman_: right click on a folder - select share properties
[16:31] <Pathero-ng> ok guys
[16:31] <Gesi> EDIT>PREFRENCES>CONTENT> (check enable java)
[16:32] <jriehle87> it is enabled
[16:32] <Gesi> what about java script
[16:32] <Gesi> ???
[16:32] <Queops> Okay I'll put the matter in other words, since you guys get blind about the support of this and that. Is nautilus not supported here? The default manager of Ubuntu?
[16:34] <zonema> anyone who can tell me what im douing wrong here? http://pastebin.com/d42560e44
[16:34] <zonema> it only reads firstline, and then exit
[16:34] <guntbert> Queops: one problem might be that your xammp install set permissions different that the default lamp install
[16:35] <arvind_khadri> zonema, #perl
[16:35] <zonema> okay arvind_khadri
[16:36] <Queops> guntbert: It's not about lampp, it's about nautilus. I want to manage my files on the usr, opt, proc, var, whatever its on the root folders, What should I do?
[16:36] <Queops> I want to drag and drop from Desktop to opt folder for example
[16:36] <Gesi> guys what about uninstalling form terminal , can it be done>
[16:36] <Gesi> ?
[16:36] <Lantizia> Using the normal install disc... can I tell Ubuntu to use a swap file instead of a swap partition?
[16:36] <maco> Gesi: sudo aptitude remove PACKAGE
[16:36] <maco> Gesi: or: sudo apt-get remove PACKAGE
[16:36] <meindian523> macman_, +1
[16:36] <Lantizia> I'm hearing swap partitions are pointless when files are just as quick these days
[16:37] <meindian523> oops maco
[16:37] <Gesi> thanks
[16:37] <llutz> Lantizia: yes you can
[16:37] <Lantizia> llutz, during the install?
[16:37] <pluhngz> http://paulstamatiou.com/how-toreview-surf-securely-with-vyprvpn
[16:37] <pluhngz> im using that ,but why does it say
[16:37] <llutz> Lantizia: no
[16:37] <pluhngz> why does it say to use only mschapv2, and
[16:37] <guntbert> Queops: usually permissions are set so that only root may write to to those places - reconsider what you want to do
[16:37] <llutz> Lantizia: install without, change fstab later
[16:37] <oorah> i just installed xubnuntu and noticed grub and grub 2 are not installed. should i install one or both of these?
[16:37] <pluhngz> use stateful encryption
[16:38] <pluhngz> its vpn service
[16:38] <Lantizia> llutz, so if I just do a setup without a swap partition - are there instructions when inside to make a swap file (and if so how big should it be?)
[16:38] <Gesi> what about tor can i use it on ubuntu
[16:38] <Lantizia> llutz, I've been trying to find out what ubuntu does to calculate the swap partition if you just leave it to take over the whole disk
[16:38] <arvind_khadri> oorah, how did you boot into it? if you dont have a boot loader...grub2 is available only from 9.10
[16:38] <happy> Gesi: sure, why not?
[16:39] <Gesi> i meant is it possible :)
[16:39] <Queops> guntbert: I still want to have the power to manage files in there, since doing it from the terminal is quite the strain, I'm the only user, why not?
[16:39] <oorah> arvind_khadri, i have 9.,10
[16:39] <llutz> Lantizia:size depends on your needs, for 512MB:  dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=524288 ; mkswap /swapfile1; swapon /swapfile1
[16:39] <nozes> hi
[16:39] <arvind_khadri> oorah, are you on live cd?
[16:39] <Powderking> I'm following the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromCForUSBStick. It describes how to configure GRUB 1 to boot from CF card. But since I use GRUB 2 the file "/boot/grub/menu.lst" is missing. The guide here (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2) tells that I have to edit "/etc/default/grub" instead. But then I need to do "sudo update-grub". Will it update grub on the CF card too (located in the folder "/media/Bootie/boot/gr
[16:39] <happy> Gesi: yep
[16:39] <oorah> arvind_khadri, its installed
[16:40] <Gesi> is vidalia making the right work
[16:40] <arvind_khadri> oorah, so where are you talking from, are you using the live cd or the installed system?
[16:40] <Gesi> i found it at ubuntu software center
[16:40] <Gesi> ?
[16:40] <llutz> Lantizia: most likely you won't need more than .5 or 1GB
[16:40] <oorah> arvind_khadri, installed
[16:40] <guntbert> Queops: you might open a lot of security problems - your computer is "on the internet" - your browser might do nasty things ...
[16:40] <arvind_khadri> oorah, then grub2 is already installed
[16:40] <Gesi> or should i user tork
[16:40] <Queops> Hmmmm I see, thanks for the clarification guntbert
[16:40] <Queops> ^^
[16:41] <guntbert> Queops: you're welcome :-)
[16:41] <happy> Gesi: hilight me if you want to talk to me :-P
[16:41] <oorah> arvind_khadri, according to synaptic, neither grub nor grub 2 are installed, both empty boxes
[16:41] <IdleOne> oorah: are you able to boot xubuntu?
[16:42] <oorah> IdleOne, yes
[16:42] <IdleOne> oorah: then grub or grub2 HAVE to be installed
[16:42] <arvind_khadri> IdleOne, seems like a troll
[16:42] <meindian523> oorah, did you install inside Windows?
[16:42] <oorah> no
[16:42] <CAPcap> Ekiga wont work for me because of my router, is there any other program that will let me do video chats w/ other people?
[16:42] <oorah> IdleOne, according to synaptic, grub and grub 2 boxes are clear, not highlighted at all
[16:42] <meindian523> Hinata, that didn't work BTW
[16:42] <Gesi> happy, should i use tork or vidalia?
[16:43] <Hinata> meindian523: oh?
[16:43] <maco> CAPcap: empathy can do it between people who use jabber protocol (so @jabber.org or @gmail.com and various others)
[16:43] <happy> Gesi: I use tork, but I am on kubuntu
[16:43] <Hinata> meindian523: strange considering it does for me =(
[16:43] <Gesi> got it
[16:43] <Gesi> thanks
[16:43] <maco> CAPcap: there's also skype for linux if you dont mind proprietary software
[16:43] <CAPcap> thanks maco. can pidgin?
[16:43] <Gesi> happy, bye
[16:43] <Pathero-ng> there is teamspeak forlinux
[16:43] <Gesi> bye to everyone
[16:43] <maco> CAPcap: yes, for jabber as well i think
[16:43] <IdleOne> oorah: one of them should be green
[16:43] <macman_> question again if you don't mind .. what is the gui for ubuntu so i can see other people on the network ?
[16:43] <CAPcap> thanks maco
[16:43] <macman_> samba or something
[16:43] <Hinata> Does anyone has an idea as to why my mpd fails to bind to <IP_ADDRESS>:6600? http://pastebin.com/d6d5f1b08
[16:44] <oorah> IdleOne, neither are. if you want i'll screenshot it for ya
[16:44] <IdleOne> oorah: do you have any other OS installed?
[16:44] <oorah> IdleOne, no
[16:44] <Lostinspace_46> Am I correct that if I "mkdir" a folder named ~/bin that scripts in that folder will run at startup?
[16:44] <buttons840> does anyone know of a basic hardware chat?  or perhaps someone can just answer my question quick: i have 4 dimm slots in a computer, do all ram chips in these slots need to have the same timings?
[16:44] <IdleOne> oorah: them your machine is magic
[16:44] <maco> Lostinspace_46: no
[16:44] <oorah> IdleOne, maybe it is lol
[16:44] <maco> Lostinspace_46: it'll be in your $PATH, that's all
[16:44] <IdleOne> then*
[16:45] <oorah> IdleOne, wanna screenshot for confirmation?
[16:45] <llutz> Lostinspace_46: check your ~/.profile or .bashrc if it will be taken into PATH if ~/bin exists
[16:45] <happy> buttons840: it all depends on your specific computer. Most need 2 or 4
[16:45] <meindian523> Hinata, let me clarify, I select what I want, press [, and place the curson where I want to paste and press ]?
[16:45] <oorah> IdleOne, what ya think i should do?
[16:45] <IdleOne> oorah: I believe you, just don't see how you were able to boot without a boot manager
[16:45] <kinja-sheep> Lostinspace_46: You can run the scripts that resides in ~/bin but it's not the startup scripts.
[16:45] <oorah> IdleOne, should i install one of these or leave it as it is?
[16:45] <happy> buttons840: but they have to be in the right slots. By 2 or 4 I mean that you must have them in pairs
[16:45] <meindian523> buttons840, same timings as in?
[16:45] <IdleOne> oorah: I say, leave well enough alone
[16:46] <fgreinus> hi @ all
[16:46] <meindian523> buttons840, they need to be of the same generation AFAIK
[16:46] <Ziber> !virtualbox
[16:46] <oorah> IdleOne, how am i booting without a bootloader?
[16:46] <happy> hi fgreinus
[16:46] <Hinata> meindian523: press ctrl + a than [ THAN select what you want using the keyboard (with the flashing rectangle) than press ctrl + a than ] to copy it
[16:46] <buttons840> meindian523, well, i have an old 512 ram stick in one slot, and i was wondering if i could put in 2 new 1 gig sticks (thus filling 3 of the 4 slots)
[16:46] <fgreinus> ugh, i'll chnge to the german ubuntu channel :D bye guys
[16:46] <IdleOne> oorah: I don't know but I suspect you have a boot loader installed. Lilo perhaps?
[16:46] <meindian523> Hinata, ah, let me try that
[16:46] <Lostinspace_46> So that dir isn,t read at startup?
[16:47] <Hinata> meindian523: to select with the flashing rectangle you might need to push space
[16:47] <guntbert> Lostinspace_46: no, who told you so?
[16:47] <oorah> lilo isn't highlighted either
[16:47] <oorah> ok this is getting weird lol
[16:48] <pluhngz> oh wow
[16:48] <pluhngz> i just got an email that i got a new job heh............but it requires daily use
[16:48] <pluhngz> of toad
[16:48] <Pathero-ng> is the oracle

[16:48] <IdleOne> !ot | pluhngz
[16:49] <Lostinspace_46> guntbert>  Actually, it occures to me I
[16:49] <oorah> are yall getting this? lol i'm running ubuntu here and the installation seems to forgot the bootloader
[16:49] <Lostinspace_46> guntbert> misread a tut
[16:49] <guntbert> Lostinspace_46: thought so :)
[16:50] <arvind_khadri> burg, it does it automatically, what exactly do you want it to do?
[16:50] <Spreadsheet_> I accidentally removed my menu
[16:50] <Spreadsheet_> How do I get it back?
[16:50] <meindian523> Hinata, how am I supposed to select using the keyboard, Shift+arrow keys doesn't work
[16:50] <IdleOne> arvind_khadri: I think you may have been right earlier :)
[16:50] <meindian523> Spreadsheet_, which menu?
[16:50] <Spreadsheet_> Applications, System, Places menu
[16:50] <arvind_khadri> IdleOne, hahaha :) i know, kick him
[16:50] <kris_> Hello
[16:51] <IdleOne> arvind_khadri: nahh, not disrupting
[16:51] <IdleOne> besides I can't
[16:51] <arvind_khadri> !panels | Spreadsheet_
[16:51] <burg> arvind_khadri: when i click now on network manager icon, it tells me: wireless networks: device not managed
[16:51] <Spreadsheet_> arvind_khadri: ok
[16:51] <meindian523> Spreadsheet_, right click on the panel>>Add to panel>>Main Menu
[16:51] <Lostinspace_46> guntbert>  This is what the tut said...If ~/bin does not exist, create it: Ubuntu will put that directory in your PATH. It's a good place to put personal scripts)
[16:51] <Hinata> meindian523: after ctrl + a [ move the cursor at the beginning (or the end) of what you want to past than push space than using the arrows you can move the other part of what you want to copy than repush space
[16:52] <Spreadsheet_> meindian523: That
[16:52] <Spreadsheet_> 's better
[16:52] <arvind_khadri> burg, is your device being recognized?? ifconfig must list wlan or whatever wireless device you have
[16:52] <Hinata> meindian523: (sorry for my bad english though ^ ^;)
[16:52] <meindian523> Hinata, np
[16:52] <oorah> i think i figured something
[16:52] <Spreadsheet_> Thank you
[16:52] <oorah> where it says grub2, it also says dummy package
[16:53] <Lostinspace_46> guntbert>  I see where I misread.
[16:53] <burg> arvind_khadri: ifconfig lists wlan0
[16:53] <guntbert> Lostinspace_46: thats ok, but that doesn't mean those files get executed automatically, you must only type their name and not the complete path
[16:53] <burg> arvind_khadri: until today, wireless was being managed by network manager
[16:53] <oorah> and i scrolled down to grub-common and in the info it says version 2
[16:54] <meindian523> Hinata, well, apparently it works only in screen, or I can't understand what to do, but never mind
[16:54] <oorah> is it making any more sense now?
[16:54] <arvind_khadri> burg, switch over to wicd , network manager is kinda buggy :)
[16:54] <meindian523> I'll just use the select and middle click way
[16:54] <oorah> anyone?
[16:54] <Lostinspace_46> guntbert> Right.  I see that now.
[16:54] <meindian523> oorah, does your machine work?
[16:54]  * arvind_khadri thinks someone must kick the troll :D
[16:54] <oorah> meindian523, yes
[16:55] <arvind_khadri> meindian523, dont feed the troll
[16:55] <meindian523> oorah, then just leave it well enough alone
[16:55] <Hinata> meindian523: screen only works with himself... but it's usefull if you get x problem and need helps ^ ^
[16:55] <meindian523> arvind_khadri, read ^^
[16:55] <oorah> grub-common is highlighted, and there it says version 2
[16:55] <kahen`> what does it mean when 'aptitude install <something>' responds with 'The following NEW packages will be installed: <stuff>{a}'. i don't get that "{a}"
[16:55] <oorah> so the one that says grub2 it says dummy package
[16:55] <JoeSomebody> hello all, how do i check if my hp laptop is ok for ubuntu? is there a compatiblity page somewhere? its a nc6230 business line unit
[16:55] <oorah> JoeSomebody, try a live cd or live usb
[16:55] <arvind_khadri> meindian523, it wont understand what you are saying, just dont pay attention
[16:55] <meindian523> arvind_khadri, point
[16:55] <minimec> JoeSomebody: www.tuxmobil.org
[16:56] <meindian523> argh, HP, they never provide the specs
[16:56] <meindian523> minimec, thanks :)
[16:56] <JoeSomebody> actually, i already installed it, how can i see if all my hardware is ok, how do i try out wireless?
[16:56] <minimec> JoeSomebody: www.tuxmobile.org ... sorry
[16:56] <oorah> JoeSomebody, live
[16:56] <oorah> oh ok
[16:56] <meindian523> minimec, both lead to the same
[16:56] <arvind_khadri> JoeSomebody, connect to a wi-fi and see :)
[16:57] <oorah> JoeSomebody, upper right side of screen
[16:57] <Lostinspace_46> guntbert>  So if I want a script to run at startup I should put it in ~/.bashrc?
[16:57] <maggs_> hey, i managed to bork my nm-applet on my netbook so i'm trying to reinstall it, i've got to synaptic and found network-manager is no longer installed it seems. I have a USB stick with a liveCD on ubuntu 9.10 on it, is there a way i can pulls network-manager off that and onto my netbook? (use the USB as the source in synaptic rather than the internet i can't connect to?)
[16:57] <oorah> JoeSomebody, if that don't work try ndisgtk and drag/drop .inf file from the drivers on the driver disk
[16:58] <meindian523> maggs_, nope, can't install packages from a liveCD,
[16:58] <arvind_khadri> seems like a brainy troll
[16:58] <meindian523> need an alternate CD image for that
[16:58] <geirha> Lostinspace_46: No, /etc/rc.local/
[16:58] <Prabz> Hi, I just finished restarting after installing updates, and am unable to use wireless at all. Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit. Can anybody help?
[16:58] <geirha> Lostinspace_46: Sorry, /etc/rc.local, it's a file
[16:58] <guntbert> Lostinspace_46: lets be specific - what are you trying to accomplish? within the GUI there are other possibilities
[16:59] <maggs_> bah, is there an easy way i can do it? download the package to my laptop and pput it on USB to transfer across meindian523?
[16:59] <meindian523> maggs_, try packages.ubuntu.com
[16:59] <maggs_> looking now meindian523, thank you
[17:00] <meindian523> np maggs_
[17:00] <Lostinspace_46> guntbert> Set a few progs to run at startup

[17:01] <JoeSomebody> all i did so far was install ubuntu and the updates, i dont know how to go and check my hardware, in xp i would go in device mgr and see what is missing, where in karmic to see similar info?
[17:01] <Prabz> minimec, i pasted output of lshw -c net here: http://pastebin.com/d6378d22b
[17:01] <arvind_khadri> rek, pipe it to more or less

[17:02] <meindian523> rek, use the arrow keys to scroll
[17:02] <rek> meindian523: arrow keys = strange letters brackets etc as output
[17:03] <rek> i wanna scroll the page
[17:03] <guntbert> Lostinspace_46: here  xmodmap gets started when the X Seession starts
[17:03] <maggs_> pg up and pg down rek?
[17:03] <Prabz> minimec,  as i can't use the internet without wireless, so i'm on windows. any thing else required too, please tell me
[17:03] <rek> maggs_: does not work
[17:03] <Lostinspace_46> guntbert> I really would rather learn to do it with scripts.  For the learning.
[17:03] <rek> hi guntbert
[17:03] <meindian523> rek, what's the command who's output you want to scroll through?
[17:04] <jcorneli> can anyone here help me with xmodmap and keyboard layers?

[17:05] <jcorneli> I don't want a "third layer"
[17:05] <rek> how
[17:05] <guntbert> Lostinspace_46: ok - good for you - yes you should be able to start apps by putting them into .bashrc
[17:05] <arvind_khadri> rek, pipe that command, bla bla bla | more
[17:05] <minimec> Prabz: We need to know, if your device is recognized correctly... with iwconfig you should see, if the device is recognized. If not, with dmesg you should see, why your device is not loaded correctly. maybe you need a firmware file or so. We would need that output to continue to invetigate your problem.
[17:05] <m4bo> hi..i have an HP dv6-2016sl pavillon and i have an issue with the SD card. They are recognized only if once the kernel is loaded an SD card is inside of it, otherwise they aren't recognized. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

[17:07] <rek> ok arvind_khadri i don't know the meaning of that word but i  think i've understood
[17:07] <Prabz> minimec, ok, I'll be back. I also tried http://linuxfanatic.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/solved-wireless-driver-for-compaq-cq40-bcm4312/ but it wouldn't compile on 64 bit

But the permissions are all along the lines of user rwx and everyone else just r.  What's up with that?  Am I missing something?
[17:08] <rek> !pipe
[17:08] <meindian523> !pipelines
[17:08] <guntbert> !askthebot | meindian523
[17:08] <maco> meindian523: what are you doing?
[17:08] <meindian523> no such factoid
[17:08] <minimec> Prabz: ok.
[17:08] <rek> !farts
[17:08] <llutz> gdiz: chown/chmod won't work on non-unix-fs
[17:08] <tsimpson> don't abuse the bot
[17:08] <guntbert> rek: behave!
[17:08] <rek> what?
[17:09] <meindian523> maco, well, I was looking for a factoid for pipelines
[17:09] <maco> dlcarot: it varies. python is popular. the kernel, of course, is C, much of GNOME is C... much of KDE is C++
[17:09] <arvind_khadri> tsimpson, :) what a surprise to see you here
[17:09] <tsimpson> meindian523: so use /msg next time
[17:09] <tsimpson> arvind_khadri: why a surprise?
[17:09] <Pathero-ng> anbydo here knows
[17:09] <maco> meindian523: 1) experiment with the bot in PM 2) what kind of pipelines? do you mean CPU pipelining? the | character in a shell? what?
[17:09] <arvind_khadri> tsimpson, never saw you here :)
[17:09] <dlcarot> rek : can I run same software written in python in both windows an ubuntu?
[17:09] <Pathero-ng> if I have my password in memory can it be hacked easier
[17:09] <arvind_khadri> dlcarot, yes
[17:09] <meindian523> maco, the shell pipeline
[17:10] <tsimpson> arvind_khadri: I'm always here, just not always "active" :)
[17:10] <meindian523> for rek
[17:10] <maco> meindian523: what about it?
[17:10] <gdiz> llutz, oh.  of course.  So, if I reformat the drive in a unix format, I should be fine?  Right now it's a FAT drive.  Would there be a format that would be unix while windows compatible?
[17:10] <rek> dlcarot: yes of course
[17:10] <tsimpson> Pathero-ng: not really, no
[17:10] <maco> meindian523: it passes stdout from one command to stdin of another
[17:10] <meindian523> maco, rek didn't understand it, I know it, so I tried a few options
[17:10] <arvind_khadri> tsimpson, oh :)
[17:10] <Pathero-ng> tsimpson, lets the world know
[17:10] <llutz> gdiz: use uid/gid/umask mount-options for vfat
[17:10] <maco> dlcarot: assuming you've got the same libraries, yeah
[17:11] <Pathero-ng> a fat drive?
[17:11] <gdiz> llutz, I don't think I follow
[17:11] <dlcarot> thanks guys :)
[17:11] <Pathero-ng> if I have my password in memory can it be hacked easier
[17:11] <tsimpson> Pathero-ng: you'd need to know the exact place in the memory it is and how long it is, and then break the kernel in to letting you have raw access to memory. if someone can do all that, they don't need your password ;)
[17:12] <mcramos> hello
[17:12] <saganbyte> Hello
[17:12] <Pathero-ng> tsimpson, that was impressive
[17:12] <Pathero-ng> I'll put that on my blog
[17:12] <arvind_khadri> tsimpson, are you into kernels too ??
[17:12] <mcramos> I'm looking for help..
[17:13] <arvind_khadri> !ask  | mcramos
[17:13] <mcramos> my microphone does not work...
[17:13] <maggs_> meindian523, thank you for pointing me in the right direction, looks like i have networking working happuily again on my netbook
[17:13] <saganbyte> In evolution>tasks, when creating a new task, after entering the task i hit enter, Evolution closes.... what could be wrong?
[17:13] <Pathero-ng> I'm into coronel
[17:13] <meindian523> maggs_, good, no problem :)
[17:13] <tsimpson> arvind_khadri: you use something long enough, you'll pick up information about it :)
[17:14] <maco> tsimpson: what about the cold boot attacks? where they steal your memory and freeze it?
[17:14] <meindian523> maco, AFAIK, physical access implies all bets are off
[17:14] <maco> meindian523: of course :)
[17:14] <mcramos> ok... I'm having problems with my microphone. It does not work. Any help  ?
[17:15] <tsimpson> maco: you'd still need to know where the data is and how long it is
[17:15] <arvind_khadri> mcramos, check the levels in alsamixer
[17:15] <maco> tsimpson: true, but i think the kernel protections would get out of the way
[17:15] <maco> tsimpson: and you can always just run "strings" on the memory, then sift through it later
[17:15] <mcramos> I'm new in Ubuntu. How can i do it ?
[17:16] <tsimpson> maco: it's possible that the data is not contiguous too
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> mcramos, open terminal and type alsamixer
[17:16] <maco> tsimpson: mm thats true. that makes it harder...
[17:16] <arvind_khadri> !terminal > mcramos
[17:16] <meindian523> !ot |tsimpson, maco
[17:16] <Prabz> minimec, I'm back
[17:17] <arvind_khadri> meindian523, you must be crazy to tell tsimpson to take this somewhere else :P
[17:17] <meindian523> arvind_khadri, why?
[17:17] <mbessjs3> Hi all, where can I find information about pulseaudio/alsa etc.  I just killed my sound trying to get Kino to be able to record.
[17:17] <minimec> Prabz: ok. results?
[17:17] <meindian523> AFAIK, there is no security related question here right now
[17:17] <arvind_khadri> meindian523, he is the one who coded the bot :)
[17:17] <unkmar> gah, I mean, like, gah.  somethings that are to make other things more secure/safe and simple.  gah.  They don't
[17:18] <Prabz> minimec, copying.
[17:18] <meindian523> arvind_khadri, so?
[17:18] <tsimpson> meindian523: there was actually
[17:18] <plitter> anybody use mathematica in ubuntu and get the space with the alt key? and know how to fix it?
[17:18] <meindian523> tsimpson, which was adequately solved, again AFAIK
[17:18] <unkmar> I decide to connect to my password protected network and then I get this request for another ****ing password.
[17:18] <tsimpson> meindian523: not necessarily, but new we are getting offtopic, aren't we :)
[17:19] <tsimpson> *now
[17:19] <maco> meindian523: i think arvind_khadri is laughing at you telling the rules to a op ;)
[17:19] <minimec> Prabz: so iwconfig didn't give you a wireless device?
[17:19] <meindian523> tsimpson, yes, we are
[17:19] <oorah> here's what i was talkin about http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/Knuckle_Brawler/?action=view&current=Screenshot-1.png
[17:19] <arvind_khadri> maco, exactly :)
[17:19] <unkmar> not my normal password.  NO. that would be too easy.  This was created out of (what?) thin air? when and where was that thing created cause.. I can't guess it.
[17:19] <meindian523> maco, well, op s aren't perfect are they?
[17:19] <JoeSomeLap> Ok so on this hp laptop, there are no drivers on the xp site for linux, i thought i would try anyway, i have no clue how to attempt wireless, can someone help?
[17:19] <maco> meindian523: not at all
[17:19] <Powderking> Where can I find information about the following line in GRUB: "kernel  (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz fb=false video=vga16:off root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=13000 quiet"?
[17:20] <arvind_khadri> JoeSomeLap, try using wi-fi
[17:20] <JoeSomeLap> easier now with lan connected :)
[17:20] <unkmar> I know what it is there.  It is there to secure my wireless passwords to all my wireless connections. but... Like, gahh. all it does is get in my way.
[17:20] <JoeSomeLap> arvind_khadri, ok how do i fire it up?
[17:20] <meindian523> JoeSomeLap, try checking System>>Administration>>Hardware Drivers
[17:21] <Prabz> minimec, that's right. even the wireless switch behaves differently than before. it shows "wireless disconnected" when i move the switch to ON, and tries to connect when i move it to "OFF"
[17:21] <unkmar> so, I end up ignoring it.  Only,,,,, I can't ignore the dang thing cause.  well, next time go to connect I have to put in my password again.  Which doesn't bother me.
[17:21] <JoeSomeLap> nothing in hardware drivers
[17:21] <unkmar> but that stupid keyring thing pops up again. so, I can't ignore it because it keeps annoying me.
[17:21] <meindian523> !ask | unkmar
[17:21] <arvind_khadri> JoeSomeLap, right click on the network-manager and connect to the wireless network you can see
[17:21] <unkmar> It won't take NO !!!!!!!!! for an answer.
[17:22] <minimec> Prabz: so paste.ubuntu.com the output of dmesg.
[17:22] <arvind_khadri> meindian523, its just a bot, :) dont worry
[17:22] <ChogyDan> unkmar: do you want a blank password?
[17:22] <opticon> how do i create shortcut for synaptic to desktop
[17:22] <meindian523> arvind_khadri, what is just a bot?
[17:22] <meindian523> :??
[17:22] <Prabz> minimec, http://pastebin.com/d68427121
[17:22] <unkmar> sure, how do i go about that?
[17:22] <arvind_khadri> meindian523, i mean its another bot, which is flooding
[17:23] <oorah> here's what i was talkin about http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/Knuckle_Brawler/?action=view&current=Screenshot-1.png
[17:23] <JoeSomeLap> network manager, is that the auto eth0 icon?
[17:23] <meindian523> arvind_khadri, ah
[17:23] <arvind_khadri> JoeSomeLap, yeah
[17:23] <oorah> see? grub and grub 2 are not highlighted
[17:23] <meindian523> opticon, drag from System>>Administration to the desktop
[17:24] <ViridianFire> my headphone jack doesnt work under ubuntu. Is this a common problem?
[17:24] <JoeSomeLap> under network connections everything is empty except the one
[17:24] <RandomUsr> where's the file that determines what programs/scripts/processes run when Ubuntu boots up?
[17:24] <JoeSomeLap> does that mean i have no wireless?
[17:25] <meindian523> JoeSomeLap, it probably means there is no network nearby

[17:25] <JoeSomeLap> there are 5 nearby
[17:25] <BrodeurPC> anyone know how to get the compiz screensaver? im using ubuntu 9.10
[17:25] <JoeSomeLap> i had xp on it before
[17:25] <meindian523> JoeSomeLap, dunno
[17:25] <meindian523> :(
[17:26] <RandomUsr> BrodeurPC, there's a Compiz screen saver?
[17:26] <soreau> BrodeurPC: You'd have to install it. You can use the script I wrote to install screensaver and other experimental unofficial compiz plugins http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=12012
[17:26] <soreau> RandomUsr: Yes
[17:26] <BrodeurPC> RandomUsr: yeah i see it in youtube
[17:26] <JoeSomeLap> oh well windows 7 didnt like it either
[17:26] <JoeSomeLap> nice machine too bad
[17:26] <RandomUsr> wow
[17:27] <RandomUsr> apparently, development stops for no one
[17:27] <error_name> hello i want to ask can switch my 32 bit OS into 64 one withous reinstalling
[17:27] <BrodeurPC> soreau: thank you i'll check it out
[17:27] <meindian523> error_name, nope, AFAIK
[17:27] <Threetimes> http://pastebin.com/fcf124b8
[17:27] <RandomUsr> where's the file that determines what programs/scripts/processes run when Ubuntu boots up?
[17:27] <Threetimes> Hi, fglrx 9.12 won't build packages for me... (see errors at http://pastebin.com/fcf124b8)
[17:28] <meindian523> opticon, why can't you use the GUI for creating a shortcut for synaptic?
[17:28] <error_name> meindian523: thanks. i also want to ask how to understand if my pc is capable with 64 bit OSs
[17:28] <minimec> Prabz: hmm... iwconfig shows a wireless device on eth2. Your device seems to be recogniced. Also, I don't see any wireless errors in dmesg.
[17:28] <RandomUsr> i think it's init.rc in other distro's, but maybe something that upstart uses in Ubuntu?
[17:28] <oorah> according to synaptic here, do i have a boot loader? http://s455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/Knuckle_Brawler/?action=view&current=Screenshot-1-1.png&newest=1
[17:28] <error_name> is all about cpu
[17:28] <meindian523> error_name, what's your processor?
[17:28] <oorah> i meant grub
[17:28] <error_name> indel pentium dual core
[17:29] <JoeSomeLap> is there a usb wireless for linux machines?
[17:29] <meindian523> error_name, it is capable
[17:29] <minimec> Prabz: The link quality is rather bad though...
[17:29] <error_name> thanks
[17:29] <royk> hi all. trying to resize a partition from ubuntu, I can't see the whole dialog because this monitor is too small. how can I enable a larger virtual desktop? this is a netbook
[17:29] <error_name> and is there really a big difference
[17:29] <Threetimes> Hi, fglrx 9.12 won't install: http://pastebin.com/m579311c2
[17:29] <RandomUsr> ok, how about this - How can I configure what services and applications start on boot?
[17:29] <Prabz> minimec, So it must be a regression in an update of network manager yesterday?
[17:29] <Prabz> minimec, what you mean link quality?
[17:30] <royk> RandomUsr, /etc/rc2.d
[17:30] <meindian523> error_name, np
[17:30] <error_name> meindian523:  i also have a strange problem i think is connected with my CPU
[17:30] <RandomUsr> thanks royk, and you may want to use some sort of screen reader, but I wouldn't know where to start with that
[17:31] <Prabz> minimec, I'm using the same access point with windows, and it's like 90%
[17:31] <error_name> meindian523: my pc runs better and smoother if a game is running
[17:31] <royk> RandomUsr, what?
[17:31] <ViridianFire> My headphone jack doesnt work. Any advice?
[17:31] <RandomUsr> royk, you said you can't see the whole screen or something?
[17:32] <royk> yeah
[17:32] <soopos> What is wrong in the command "gvncviewer localhost:1" in connecting to VNC server instance started by "sudo pbuilder login"?
[17:32] <royk> I need to tell X "use a large virtual desktop"
[17:32] <royk> but I can't find the xorg.conf file and there's nothing in the fancy menus
[17:32]  * royk thinks menus belong in restaurants
[17:33] <minimec> Prabz: Did you ever had a working wifi connection with ubuntu with that device?
[17:33] <Prabz> minimec, I did follow instructions on http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8510764&postcount=12 but to no avail
[17:33] <meindian523> error_name, you didn't frame a question
[17:33] <RandomUsr> royk, when you say large, do you mean resolution?
[17:33]  * royk thinks error_name is erronous
[17:33] <royk> Ranakah, low resolution because of actual size
[17:34] <royk> 1024x600
[17:34] <error_name> meindian523: well as i said my pc runs better if a game is runnig.can it be cpu problem
[17:34] <royk> but the input dialogue is larger
[17:34] <Ranakah> what royk?
[17:34] <royk> meaning I can't see the bottom part of it
[17:34] <Prabz> minimec, I have been using ubuntu on my laptop for the last 2-3 months without problems, I did the update over wifi itself, but then it asked for a restart, after which wireless stopped working

[17:35] <minimec> Prabz: It could be, that the network-manager is looking for eth1 as a wireless, and not eth2. I would check the network properties.
[17:35] <error_name> meindian523: any ideas?

[17:36] <RandomUsr> royk, do you simply want to change the resolution of your laptop's video card to match the monitor's capabilities?
[17:37] <minimec> Prabz: Right click on the network-applet in the panel, then 'properties'. You could also try to load an older kernel (press and hold 'left shift' before grub starts).
[17:37] <RandomUsr> royk, is so, just go to system prefs > screen res
[17:37] <twig11> Why is Ubuntu One not connecting for me in Karmic on an iBook G4? When I start the client, a browser window pops up asking me to authorize my computer with my Ubuntu One account. I log in and am taken to my "Files" page on my Ubuntu One account. However, the client attempts to connect, then disconnects without syncing, and triggers the same authorization page in the browser again. The process repeats no matter how many times I re-authorize
[17:38] <error_name> meindian523: well i just leave the game running in desktop 1,switch to desktop 2 and for example open terminal(faster),home folder(faster),firefox(faster) then effect of minimyzing is smoother
[17:38] <Prabz> minimec, if that doesnt work,  anything else that  i can try, before I come back here on windows?

[17:40] <Copter> Hey, can I install ubuntu from windows 7 to a seperate HD and I will be able to dual boot windows 7 / ubuntu ? Or do I have to use the live-cd ?
[17:40] <ViridianFire> is there a settings menu for PulseAudio?
[17:40] <royk> Copter, just boot on the ubuntu disc
[17:41] <edbian> Copter, You can't install ubuntu using windows 7 unless you're talking about wubi.  You do no need two harddrives to dual boot.
[17:41] <meindian523> Copter, you can do that, I forget the link, and I'm unsure whether it works from W7
[17:41] <Copter> well i used daemon tools and running ubuntu
[17:41] <Copter> and it says install from windows
[17:41] <edbian> Copter, You can however install ubuntu on another harddrive and boot from it
[17:41] <parapan> Hi there fellows ...I messed up the user/group permissions on a folder/subfolders/files structure ...how do I get back the control ? I made chmod -R o-x FOLDER being the root ....now i cannot restore the exute permision ...what should I do ????
[17:41] <meindian523> edbian, royk I think Copter wants to migrate a Wubi install to a true dual boot
[17:41] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[17:41] <Copter> all i want is to skip the live-cd part becasue i dont have cds to burn at the moment
[17:42] <twig11> Why is Ubuntu One not connecting for me in Karmic on an iBook G4? When I start the client, a browser window pops up asking me to authorize my computer with my Ubuntu One account. I log in and am taken to my "Files" page on my Ubuntu One account. However, the client attempts to connect, then disconnects without syncing, and triggers the same authorization page in the browser again. The process repeats no matter how many times I re-authorize
[17:42] <Copter> so im asking if i can install ubuntu directly from the iso using daemon tools with windows 7 , instead of burning it.
