[00:00] <sync3times> obiwan_,  Well documentation for tty device drivers is kept in the Hades library.
[00:00] <utrrrongeeb> obiwan_: Not sure if you've already heard this, but Ctrl-Q will reactivate the terminal after Ctrl-S has stopped it.
[00:01] <obiwan_> ok i'll try
[00:01] <obiwan_> maybe that's what happens at my term
[00:01] <obiwan_> hello , does anybody read me?
[00:01] <sync3times> <crickets chipping>
[00:01] <Slart> for some reason I have couchdb installed.. can't really think of a reason why, it doesn't have any databases and an apt-cache redepends couchdb doesn't return anything I can remember installing.. is there some way I can find out *when* it was installed?
[00:02] <obiwan_> yeah , i'm still getting text even i ctrl s
[00:02] <obiwan_> so neither stops my flow haha ^-^
[00:02] <PrototypeX29A> zum vergleich http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TXAliqLA3jY/Sv1XHwjdQlI/AAAAAAAAJ-A/GMZgMmrEWcs/s400/1.jpg
[00:03] <PrototypeX29A> sorry :)
[00:03] <PrototypeX29A> wrong chan
[00:03] <sync3times> obiwan_,    in a terminal,  type  yes.   it will stream a bunch of  y  characters.   Then type   ctrl-s  .   They will stop     type ctrl-c to break out
[00:03] <diskin> Slart, grep in /var/log/apt ?
[00:03] <obiwan_> yeahh it did work sync3times !!
[00:04] <obiwan_> but i don't need c-q to resume, i just type any key and comes back
[00:04] <diskin> Slart, or /var/log/aptitude
[00:04] <sync3times> obiwan_,   for your trip to the dark side to be complete.   type    stty -a
[00:04] <MatBee> acidhax@acidhax-laptop:~/android-sdk-linux_86/tools$ sudo ./adb shell
[00:04] <MatBee> error: device not found
[00:04] <Slart> diskin: ah.. did a grep of the entire /var/log tree.. found it in dpkg.log
[00:04] <Slart> diskin: thanks
[00:05] <diskin> Slart, right, I forgot about dpkg :)
[00:05] <phdre> hey all
[00:05] <erUSUL> Slart: is the new shiny new thing in the ubuntu desktop. http://arstechnica.com/open-source/reviews/2009/11/good-karma-ars-reviews-ubuntu-910.ars/6
[00:05] <Slart> erUSUL: ahh.. sneaky.. well.. I guess it can stay then.. thanks
[00:06] <erUSUL> Slart: twice new I tell you XD (sorry for the typo O:) )
[00:06] <Slart> erUSUL: but it is very very new =)
[00:07] <karma_police> anyone know how to set google chrome to open incognito by default in ubuntu?
[00:07] <bastid_raZor> couchDB... what will theythink of next..?
[00:07] <diskin> karma_police, how do you do it in windows?
[00:07] <Slart> karma_police: you can probably change the launcher to include a switch or something
[00:07] <karma_police> right click on the shortcut and add --incognito to the end of the target name
[00:08] <diskin> karma_police, so try the same in Linux
[00:08] <karma_police> i have googled it and have come up with nothing.. a bit ironic
[00:08] <karma_police> no such menu in linux
[00:09] <karma_police> my bad.. nevermind.. can't access that menu from the dropdown.. have to make a shortcut
[00:10] <scoop1> hi all people here, the day before chrismasnight
[00:10] <MkJackson> hey folks, is there a way in Koala to add an image/picture of my user name?  getting kinda tired of seeing the generic white "body"
[00:11] <danny> Can someone please tell me how to fsck my ext4 hard drive? I think I've been told many ways but nothing has worked!
[00:11] <mobi-sheep> MkJackson: System --> Preferences --> About Me?
[00:13] <scoop1> does anybody use fglrx or real 3d with an ati radeon mobile x700 graphic card?
[00:13] <bastid_raZor> danny: can you umount the partition or is it your /home or / partitions?
[00:13] <ubuntu> repositories are the reason my xserver is dead now
[00:13] <microhaxo> Anyone know of any GOOD guides for tweaking Ubuntu 9.10 for an Eee pc 1000he with 2gb ram?  I want to focus on performance and battery life.
[00:13] <MkJackson> mobi_sheep: Thanks so much man... was looking in Users/Groups!
[00:13] <danny> bastid_raZor: it is my / partition
[00:14] <diskin> scoop1, I used it with 8.10, installed latest driver from ATI
[00:14] <sync3times> microhaxo, make sure you are running 16bit color.  It helped mine
[00:14] <Tobiasz> is there any superior way of restoring xserver in 9.10?
[00:15] <Tobiasz> after the first splash screen there is only black screen
[00:15] <bastid_raZor> danny:  type sudo touch /forcefsck  ..then reboot it will fsck the partitions you have on boot, afterwards delete /forcefsck
[00:15] <obiwan_> sync3times: i'm afraid my force is too weak to be accepted by the dark side, nyway i tried em and half don't work. As i see, it's something about gnome-terminal, things are supposed to work different with each terminal, konsole for example _does_ use c-s for forward -i-search as man bash say, so i guess things r a little messed up with bash/terminal
[00:15] <MkJackson> ok, last question, is there a way to change the loading & login backgrounds?
[00:15] <scoop1> diskin: does you use it with x700 card diskin? if try the reposity fglrx package, i have blackscreen
[00:16] <sync3times> obiwan_, of course the terminal programs capture the keystrokes and can do anything they want.  They dont HAVE to pass them onto the slave pty
[00:16] <aintaer> Okay that was strange
[00:16] <aintaer> On reading the wifi docs, I found that FN+Fx combo might turn on/off wifi
[00:16] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I rebooted the machine after `mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1` and correcting the new UUID for the partition in /etc/fstab.  It mounts successfully, however, it still does not appear in gui environment for Gnome.
[00:16] <Vantrax> anyone know why an administrator account would be unable to log into cups
[00:16] <diskin> scoop1, yes, x700. but that was on 8.10
[00:16] <aintaer> so I hit FN+F1 on here, which is hibernate
[00:16] <aintaer> it hibernates, and when I restart it from hibernation, wifi works again
[00:16] <microhaxo> 16 bit color?!??!?
[00:16] <sync3times> somebodyelse, wow, i am surprised
[00:17] <microhaxo> thats horrible, i dont think the Eee pc 1000he is that bad on performance
[00:17] <microhaxo> :|
[00:17] <aintaer> that is strange because I have not used that to turn off wifi in the first place
[00:17] <microhaxo> it has 2gb of ram and a N280 atom
[00:17] <forceflow> microhaxo: I have that netbook too
[00:17] <danny> bastid_raZor: how do I delete forcefsck?
[00:17] <microhaxo> so it is slow on 32bit?
[00:17] <diskin> scoop1, here is the file: ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run - found it in my archives
[00:17] <scoop1> diskin:  ahh, yes this is possible with 8.10, but in 9.10 it's a real nightmare for me to use 3d
[00:18] <aintaer> So though I don't understand how this is possible, it seems to have fixed my inexplicable wifi woes.
[00:18] <sync3times> microhaxo,  well it cuts down the amount of stuff it has to send to the graphics port by 33%
[00:18] <somebodyelse> sync3times, Me too.  The line in /etc/fstab is UUID=036a4e28-5639-4613-a8c4-4b84d7825027 /shared         ext4    noatime,user    0       0
[00:18] <forceflow> microhaxo: rather
[00:18] <forceflow> performance is not up to par with winxp, unfortunately
[00:18] <microhaxo> Ah shit
[00:18] <sync3times> microhaxo,  60 times a second or so
[00:18] <bastid_raZor> danny: once you log back in type sudo rm -rf /forcefsck
[00:18] <scoop1> diskin: thanks for the link but i have 9.10 right now, i think if i change
[00:18] <somebodyelse> sync3times, and blkid now correctly labels the partition as ext4
[00:18] <microhaxo> does 16bit look much worse?
[00:18] <sync3times> microhaxo,  its integrated graphics right?
[00:18] <danny> bastid_raZor: OK, thanks, that might have been a dumb question!
[00:19] <microhaxo> yes
[00:19] <forceflow> microhaxo: are you running that intel driver in EXA or UXA mode?
[00:19] <bastid_raZor> danny: nope, every one has to learn at some point.
[00:19] <forceflow> UXA = huge performance boost
[00:19] <sync3times> somebodyelse, does it see it in disk utility?
[00:20] <microhaxo> I dont have the netbook yet, its in the mail. I'm just trying to prepare!
[00:20] <scoop1> does anybody use fglrx or real 3d with an ati radeon mobile x700 graphic card in 9.10 ?? and can give me helping hand?
[00:20] <microhaxo> Will the Asus super Hybrid engine work in ubuntu? The battery life in windows is 8+ hours, i dont want that to take a shit in ubuntu..
[00:21] <somebodyelse> sync3times, Yep, I just checked a few moments ago and the disk utility detects the drive and the partition.
[00:21] <forceflow> microhaxo: there's no eee-control package for 9.10 yet
[00:21] <microhaxo> damn
[00:21] <saad_> salut
[00:21] <forceflow> but you can manually set processor frequency with the gnome applet
[00:21] <microhaxo> so the battery life will be poor :|
[00:21] <LjL> microhaxo: i'd forget about it being actually 8+ hours on either system. make it 6-7
[00:21] <forceflow> which (I think) will achieve the same
[00:21] <forceflow> I can pull off 8 hours on ubuntu 9.10 with it
[00:22] <somebodyelse> sync3times, The permissions for the directory that the partition is mounted to are drwxr-xr-x\
[00:22] <microhaxo> Well, my friend has the 1005ha modem (virtually the same) except for keyboard and she gets 8 hours and 32 min if just typing etc (no wifi)
[00:22] <captivus> forceflow: You have a netbook?
[00:22] <captivus> forceflow: Are you running UNR on it?
[00:22] <digitalaxis> Can someone help me compile Squid?
[00:22] <microhaxo> I refuse to run UNR
[00:22] <forceflow> captivus: yep
[00:22] <microhaxo> i will be running full blown ubuntu
[00:23] <forceflow> microhaxo: unr is full blown ubuntu with a different skin
[00:23] <LjL> microhaxo: it's not linux UNR is not full-blown
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> The UNR releases may be tweaked to work better with a netbook. and you can install the normal gnome desktop on a UNR ionstall
[00:23] <microhaxo> Dont like that skin
[00:23] <LjL> uh, it's not *like*.
[00:23] <microhaxo> i've used UNR
[00:23] <microhaxo> i dont like the restrictions
[00:23] <LjL> there are no restrictions
[00:23] <Dr_Willis> So install the full gnome desktop.
[00:23] <harushimo> I'm trying to do dual monitor with my ati card, it doesn't work
[00:23] <forceflow> if you do sudo install ubuntu-desktop on a UNR your UNR install will be equivalent to the regular ubuntu
[00:23] <harushimo> why is that?
[00:23] <forceflow> it's just a matter of packaging
[00:23] <microhaxo> also i will be using this for C programming via shell commands and terminal etc.
[00:23] <forceflow> no difference, microhaxo
[00:23] <LjL> and you can do that fine. i do it.
[00:24] <Dr_Willis> My netbook is my 'video' player. :)
[00:24] <harushimo> is their way to download ati drivers for ubuntu? I remember 8.1 having them
[00:24] <digitalaxis> Can anyone help me compile SQUID?
[00:24] <microhaxo> For me there was a big difference. I didnt like the delay on applications being loaded, i didnt like the 1 process of the same program limit, and i didnt like the skin.
[00:24] <forceflow> I use it mainly for C++ programming and video indeed :)
[00:24] <sync3times> somebodyelse, maybe you went behind its back and its pissed.   Is there a way to add the HD through the gui?
[00:24] <LjL> digitalaxis: why compile?
[00:25] <microhaxo> That wasn't 9.10 though, it was a version released like 3 months ago.
[00:25] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I'm not sure.
[00:25] <digitalaxis> LjL: You have to compile it on linux.
[00:25] <LjL> uh... no?
[00:25] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I'm not familiar with gui so much, especially Ubuntu.  I personally use Gentoo.
[00:25] <LjL> !info squid | digitalaxis
[00:25] <LjL> you definitely don't have to compile it.
[00:25] <digitalaxis> So you plan on just installing the source? Doesnt quite work like that
[00:25] <LjL> eh... no?
[00:25] <LjL> !software > digitalaxis    (digitalaxis, see the private message from ubottu)
[00:26] <LjL> digitalaxis: typing "sudo apt-get install squid" will download and install it (the binaries, not the source).
[00:26] <harushimo> !ati
[00:26] <LjL> or you can achieve the same thing using Synaptic if you prefer.
[00:26] <dre> kwin shortcuts anyone knows some
[00:26] <sync3times> somebodyelse,  same for me
[00:26] <captivus> forceflow: How do you like the launcher?
[00:27] <captivus> forceflow: I kinda hate it
[00:27] <digitalaxis> LjL: Squid doesnt make any binaries for linux that i can find
[00:27] <digitalaxis> LjL: What is synaptic?
[00:27] <LjL> digitalaxis: they're *provided by Ubuntu*. in its repositories. please, *read* that page i sent you.
[00:27] <LjL> Synaptic is the Ubuntu software installer.
[00:27] <forceflow> captivus: as I said, I got rid of it entirely
[00:27] <forceflow> :)
[00:27] <LjL> dre: they might know better in #kubuntu
[00:27] <forceflow> the launcher and the maximus window manager
[00:27] <dre> thanks
[00:27] <forceflow> (which auto-full screens all newly opened apps)
[00:27] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I do not believe it is supposed to appear there.
[00:27] <somebodyelse> sync3times, Is it?
[00:27] <captivus> forceflow: Yeah ... I'm thinking of doing the same.  Does it run well using regular Gnome?
[00:28] <somebodyelse> sync3times, The second hard drive is mounted at /shared
[00:28] <forceflow> captivus: yeah, no probs
[00:28] <captivus> forceflow: Yeah ... Maximus is annoying as hell, too
[00:28] <sync3times> sync3times, does it have a label?
[00:28] <captivus> forceflow: Have you tried to run a vm on your netbook yet?
[00:28] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I can access it via /shared in gui, but the owner of the computer wants a shortcut on that part of gui also.
[00:28] <sync3times> somebodyelse, does it have a lable/   the filesystem?
[00:29] <somebodyelse> sync3times, No, it doesn't have a label.
[00:29] <sync3times> somebodyelse,  can you add one with tune2fs or something?
[00:29] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I will try.
[00:30] <forceflow> captivus: VM is a bit unpossible
[00:30] <forceflow> I only have 1 gb of ram in this netbook, that could be it
[00:30] <captivus> forceflow: Yeah, I assumed as much.  I was going to give it a go, but I figured it would be a stretch.
[00:30] <carlosns79ubt> who are you?????
[00:31] <captivus> forceflow: Did you just uninstall maximus and the launcher, or did you otherwise disable them?
[00:31] <LjL> carlosns79ubt: i could ask the same of you
[00:31] <forceflow> captivus: just disabled them
[00:31] <forceflow> there's an option in UNR titled "use regular desktop"
[00:32] <forceflow> first I enabled that, that got rid of the launcher, and gave me regular gnome desktop
[00:32] <forceflow> then in startup apps, I removed maximus
[00:32] <forceflow> and that's it :)
[00:32] <LjL> forceflow: hmm, i think i heard it had been removed for some reason or another in 9.10...? not entirely sure though
[00:32] <somebodyelse> sync3times, I unmounted it, then gave it a label using `tune2fs -L shared /dev/sdb1`, remounted it and still it doesn't appear as a shortcut at "Computer - File Browser" in gui.  Again, is it supposed to or is this a feature that the user wants that isn't implemented by design?
[00:32] <carlosns79ubt> why?
[00:32] <captivus> forceflow: Have you enabled virtual desktops?  If so, does it work well?
[00:32] <digitalaxis> can someone who is actually willing to help with installing squid PM me? (aka not just throwing links out there i have already read)
[00:33] <captivus> digitalaxis: Rudeness is sure to get you the help you seek!
[00:33] <sync3times> somebodyelse, one last thing, and then I am out of tricks.   Try putting the mount point in /media.   maybe thats legal maybe not.  but I would try it
[00:33] <forceflow> captivus: yep, virtual desktops work fine
[00:33] <carlosns79ubt> somebody  helpme
[00:33] <forceflow> even compiz effects work reasonably
[00:33] <sync3times> somebodyelse, /media/shared
[00:33] <LjL> digitalaxis: you probably didn't listen. i also told you to TYPE, in a terminal, "sudo apt-get install squid" if you want to get SQUID installed.
[00:34] <captivus> forceflow: Wow.  _That_ I wouldn't have guessed.
[00:34] <digitalaxis> LjL: no, you said apt-get,  However. I actually didnt even mean to type that in this channel. It was meant for the #squid channel
[00:34] <captivus> digitalaxis: If you're not willing to read the links provided, you're going to find yourself in a bit of a jam.
[00:34] <LjL> [01:26:18] <LjL> digitalaxis: typing "sudo apt-get install squid" will download and install it (the binaries, not the source).
[00:34] <CVirus> I used sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ to install lamp components .. How can I remove them as well ?
[00:34] <LjL> i think i know what i said.
[00:35] <harushimo> is this ATI Visontek X1550 supported by ubuntu?
[00:35] <bastid_raZor> !hardware | harushimo ..check here
[00:36] <microhaxo> so whats the difference between just installing regular ubuntu and using a dock vs using UNR?
[00:36] <stillinbeta> Hi, I've got Ubuntu server (Intrepid) running inside KVM on a Karmic Desktop install. I'm trying to get internet to the Intrepid VM so I can install a few packages.
[00:36] <harushimo> i don't see anything with RV516 chipset
[00:36] <forceflow> captivus: I run 4 virtual desktops with standard compiz effects. That's window shaddow, fancy alt-tab switcher and the cube.
[00:37] <somebodyelse> sync3times, Thanks for your assistance.
[00:38] <sync3times> somebodyelse, sorry it didnt work out
[00:38] <stillinbeta> I've been trying to use ssh -D and tsocks to the master from the VM, any reason why that wouldn't be working?
[00:38] <captivus> forceflow: That's good news.  What processor does your netbook have?
[00:39] <calucifer> hi, I need help getting wireless (Intel 5300) working on karmic 64 bit
[00:39] <microhaxo> so forceflow, you use UNR?
[00:40] <captivus> forceflow: Where is this option you spoke of to "use the regular desktop"?
[00:40] <forceflow> captivus: preferences -> desktop I think
[00:40] <PointMan> Ive read doc on /etc/sudoers but I cant find any that describes how I let a user have access to just run 1 single command as root
[00:41] <captivus> forceflow: This is accessible from the launcher?
[00:41] <forceflow> captivus: it was there anyway, in 9.04
[00:41] <plague> hi can anyone tell me the correct format for a multi term search in nautilus?
[00:41] <forceflow> never used the launcher again ...
[00:41] <captivus> forceflow: Ahh ... yeah, it doesn't seem to be there in 9.10
[00:42] <microhaxo> forceflow: You use UNR on your netbook?  do you prefer it to the full 9.10 ?
[00:42] <microhaxo> or (normal) 9.10
[00:42] <forceflow> microhaxo: for the last time, UNR minus the launcher package and with ubuntu-desktop is *the same* :)
[00:43] <gawk> Hey guys, my system the same bug as described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/433729
[00:43] <microhaxo> sorry, didnt see that. So i'll just use the regular ubuntu.
[00:43] <forceflow> yeah
[00:43] <gawk> What would be the best way to fix it?
[00:43] <forceflow> a pro for the UNR is that it comes with less applications
[00:43] <forceflow> no evolution, cd burner, ...
[00:43] <captivus> microhaxo: forceflow is correct
[00:43] <forceflow> but you can achieve that just as easily by removing them from regular ubuntu
[00:43] <forceflow> it's all up to you :)
[00:43] <gawk> Do I just run an update? I tried using the ubuntu remix and the bug is still in there too
[00:43] <microhaxo> :D
[00:44] <microhaxo> My goals are to maintain atleast ~8 hours of battery life
[00:44] <microhaxo> and run pretty smooth.
[00:44] <forceflow> microhaxo: will work
[00:44] <forceflow> I've got an eeePC 1005HA
[00:44] <microhaxo> great :D
[00:44] <forceflow> and I'm okay with ubuntu
[00:45] <forceflow> UNR comes without the desktop tracker thing too
[00:45] <forceflow> so less services, less apps
[00:45] <gawk> forceflow, I have a 900HD, have you encountered anything like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi/+bug/433729 ?
[00:45] <forceflow> I like to start with less, instead of removing stuff :)
[00:45] <captivus> microhaxo: You have an extended battery on that thing?
[00:45] <microhaxo> Ok so maybe better to install UNR and then just Remove the special desktop?
[00:45] <CVirus> sudo tasksel remove lamp-server removed lots of not related packages !!! WTF !!
[00:45] <microhaxo> No
[00:45] <microhaxo> its a 6 cell
[00:45] <Dayspring> hello everyone
[00:45] <captivus> microhaxo: So yes ...
[00:45] <microhaxo> Eee pc'
[00:45] <microhaxo> no
[00:45] <FloodBot4> microhaxo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:46] <forceflow> gawk: yeah, sometimes
[00:46] <microhaxo> it comes standard.
[00:46] <forceflow> my wireless-repair script is just sudo rmmod ath9k and sudo modprobe ath9k
[00:46] <captivus> microhaxo: Fair enough ... my Dell Mini 10v calls the 6-cell an "extended" battery.  I bought it.
[00:46] <forceflow> usually solves wireless quirks after suspend/hibernate :)
[00:46] <microhaxo> the Eee pc 1005 and 1000 come standard with 6 cell batts.
[00:46] <captivus> microhaxo: How are you squeezing 8 hours out of it?
[00:46] <Dayspring> i'm having issues with my sound crackling in games and then freezing my computer....anyone know of a resolution?
[00:46] <microhaxo> I'm not, my friend has win7 on it and she gets 8 hours and 30 min with wifi off.
[00:47] <microhaxo> I dont have mine yet.
[00:47] <captivus> I see
[00:47] <microhaxo> in the mail as we type.
[00:47] <captivus> I get 6+ with wifi on
[00:47] <forceflow> I get 7 hours on Ubuntu 9.10 with wifi on
[00:47] <forceflow> and about 10-11 with wifi off
[00:47] <captivus> forceflow: That's impressive
[00:47] <microhaxo> DAMN
[00:47] <gawk> forceflow, it doesn't like to wake up :p
[00:47] <microhaxo> thats what im talkin about.
[00:47] <captivus> forceflow: You do anything to increase the battery life?
[00:47] <forceflow> gawk: you got that right
[00:48] <forceflow> captivus: in the gnome applet thing for CPU frequency, I set it to powersave when I'm just watching a movie
[00:48] <forceflow> also, my screen blanks after 5 minutes of inactivity
[00:48] <forceflow> no fancy screensaver stuff
[00:48] <gourd_captain> Hey, after setting up an Ubuntu/XP dual boot, can you resize the XP partition (second on the disk) and shrink the Ubuntu home partition non-destructively?
[00:48] <forceflow> and also, dimming the screen light when you're not touching anything :)
[00:48] <gawk> gourd_captain: try using gpart
[00:49] <gourd_captain> gawk: Unfortunatly, the problem is that I'd have to move the start of the partition to resize. Would this mess up GRUB?
[00:49] <marcosi> hi
[00:49] <jolaren> How do I get a ubuntu minimal installation to boot directly to X?
[00:50] <captivus> jolaren: Change the runlevel to ... is it 3, people?
[00:50] <marcosi> how can i install the spice protocol on ubuntu???
[00:50] <Maletor> hey does anybody know of any cool ubuntu customizations?
[00:50] <Maletor> i want one sexy bad ass looking desktop
[00:50] <forceflow> Maletor: I like the docky skin for Gnome-Do
[00:50] <forceflow> it's a mac-like app launcher
[00:50] <forceflow> you can do cool stuff with conky too
[00:51] <gawk> Oh...that is a problem I am not sure how to solve then, I am not sure how easy it is to move the beginning of the partition and don't wish to be responsible for fux0ring your partition table :/
[00:51] <gawk> ^ gourd_captain
[00:51] <Maletor> word
[00:51] <forceflow> gourd_captain: don't know it either
[00:51] <Dayspring> GnoMenu is pretty sweet
[00:51] <jeff1140> I need help
[00:51] <forceflow> it's definitely an advanced disk operation :)
[00:52] <jeff1140> I have a NVIDIA 5200FX 256MB Graphic card and I can't enable desktop effects and I can't select my highest desktop resolution
[00:52] <Dayspring> also a good website with customizations is gnome-look.org
[00:53] <microhaxo> so forceflow, gnome-do is the dock you use?
[00:53] <forceflow> microhaxo: used it
[00:53] <microhaxo> i wanted to use a dock but i didnt want a resource intensive one.
[00:53] <microhaxo> what currently do you use if any at all?
[00:53] <forceflow> regular gnome
[00:53] <forceflow> he asked for something fancy, not for something resource-efficient :)
[00:53] <Dayspring> microhaxo-- GnoMenu
[00:54] <Mohan_> Hi all
[00:54] <jeff1140> Anyone want to help me?
[00:54] <forceflow> microhaxo, captivus
[00:54] <jolaren> jeff1140; Don't ask to ask! Just ask and see what happends
[00:54] <Mohan_> Help with what?
[00:54] <forceflow> as an alternative desktop, I can recommend openbox
[00:54] <microhaxo> Lol
[00:54] <marcosi> anyone know about any ubuntu package for spice???
[00:54] <jeff1140> I already asked my question
[00:54] <forceflow> just install openbox and a couple of extra (status area, taskbar) and you've got a pretty minimal desktop
[00:55] <IdleOne> jeff1140: please repeat it
[00:55] <microhaxo> thats a little hard core for me, i still want her to look decent.
[00:55] <Dayspring> could someone help me with my sound issue?
[00:55] <jolaren> He's going to say "Can somebody help me?" again
[00:55] <jeff1140> OK, I have a NVIDIA 5200FX 256MB Graphic card and I can't enable Desktop effects and I can't select my monitors highest resolution.
[00:56] <forceflow> captivus, microhaxo: I'm now running: deluge torrent, chrome web browser, a terminal and VLC playing a movie, and I'm using about 600 megs of RAM. Ubuntu 9.10 compiz enabled, smooth as butter.
[00:56] <IdleOne> !nvidia | jeff1140 take a look here and see if it helps
[00:56] <forceflow> in regular gnome desktop
[00:56] <captivus> forceflow: That's impressive, man
[00:56] <jeff1140> OK
[00:56] <captivus> forceflow: Did you mention which processor your box uses?  I was afk for a bit.
[00:56] <forceflow> hm
[00:56] <jeff1140> I installed the right driver and everything
[00:56] <bastid_raZor> jeff1140: i have the same card in my server/media box.. i think i use the -96 version
[00:56] <forceflow> I actually don't know :)
[00:57] <jeff1140> I installed the 173 version
[00:57] <forceflow> aha
[00:57] <microhaxo> Err
[00:57] <forceflow> intel atom N280
[00:57] <microhaxo> this guide im reading says that EeePC tray utility is available for 9.10?
[00:57] <captivus> forceflow: There it is!
[00:57] <jeff1140> I am unable to enable desktop effects and I cant select my desktop resolution
[00:57] <captivus> forceflow: Ok, so you've got the step up from what I'm running
[00:57] <forceflow> microhaxo: yeah, but the version is experimental
[00:57] <forceflow> aha :)
[00:57] <microhaxo> Ahh
[00:57] <woodyjlw> i have a question about vbox. can xp use on board graphics in vbox on ubuntu now?
[00:58] <woodyjlw> for gaming
[00:58] <microhaxo> dont want any crashing :|, have you tried it?
[00:58] <forceflow> woodyjlw: yeah, but don't expect any Direct3D acceleration
[00:58] <captivus> woodyjlw: You'll need to install the "Host Additions"
[00:58] <forceflow> it's buggy
[00:58] <jolaren> jeff1140; got your newest graphic drivers?
[00:58] <jeff1140> Yes
[00:58] <jeff1140> Version 173
[00:58] <manbra> Anyone using konversation?
[00:58] <woodyjlw> what if ubuntu cant use the video 3d acceleration ?
[00:58] <manbra> I need to see something.
[00:59] <manbra> If you copy something, and click m3 in the enter text part
[00:59] <manbra> does it paste?
[00:59] <microhaxo> Hmm, alright thanks for all the info. I will most certainly be back in here when i have it in hand and installed for some tweaks on the graphics driver, and other optimizations you have mentioned.
[00:59] <bastid_raZor> jeff1140: that card being a low-end model and old .. the newest drivers aren't the best idea.
[00:59] <forceflow> woodyjlw: then you can't use it in the guest either :)
[00:59] <jeff1140> The 173 NVIDIA driver supports it though
[00:59] <manbra> Does mouse3 paste text into konversation?
[01:00] <bastid_raZor> jeff1140: if you have issues possibly it doesn't. try the older drivers to verify.
[01:00] <manbra> I fixed my scrolling issue, but I'm pretty sure left click is now mouse3.
[01:00] <Dayspring> anyone know what could cause my sound to crackle and stop and then when i try to exit the game it freezes my computer???
[01:00] <Dr_Willis> manbra:  middle mouse button has been used for ages to 'paste' the 'selection'  in X.   If thats what you are asking about.
[01:00] <jeff1140> OK
[01:00] <kn100> What's that program on ubuntu called, that shows you where the most disk space is being used in graphs
[01:00] <manbra> Thank you.  Gotta figure out how I broke X
[01:00] <jeff1140> I will install the older driver and I will come back if I am still having issues
[01:00] <woodyjlw> forceflow: I cant install ati catylist for my ati 200m laptop under 9.04 or 9.10 so I am stuck to 8.10 to get 3d right?
[01:00] <unop> kn100, baobab ?
[01:01] <jolaren> jeff1140; sounds like good troubleshooting, what graphic vendor are you using?
[01:01] <forceflow> woodyjlw: don't know, depends on your chipset I guess
[01:01] <jeff1140> Jolaren, It is a NVIDIA 5200FX 256MB
[01:01] <kn100> ok, since that package was depreciated in karmic, what other program do that
[01:01] <jolaren> Merry Christmas everyone! .-)
[01:01] <kn100> i just want to see where my disk space is being used
[01:02] <Dayspring> Merry Christmas jolaren!! :D
[01:02] <captivus> kn100: "Disk Usage Analyzer" is a gui app that will do that
[01:02] <captivus> kn100: Otherwise use 'df' at the shell
[01:02] <kn100> captivus, that's the program I need, what's the package name of it
[01:02] <trevor> does anyone know if you can watch netflix watch now on ubuntu?
[01:02] <bucknasty> can anyone tell me how to search (in terminal) for a string in files?
[01:03] <unop> kn100, baobab is part of gnome-utils in karmic
[01:03] <woodyjlw> has anyone had any luck installing ati catylist on the legacy cards in ubuntu 9.04 yet?
[01:03] <unop> !info gnome-utils
[01:03] <DVA5912> Will i notice any difference between the Nvidia 7200/7300 and the nvidia 9500 GT?
[01:03] <kn100> unop, i'll take a look
[01:03] <captivus> kn100: Which of the two are you asking about?
[01:04] <kn100> captivus, the gui tool, it used to come with jaunty
[01:04] <jeff1140> I don't see why Installing Version 96 will solve my issue.  It says that the driver 173 is recommended
[01:04] <kn100> I am using another distribution now, just really liked that program
[01:04] <kn100> it was baobab
[01:04] <inclement> I have a trackball, which I previously (with pclinuxos) configured via xorg.conf. Since xorg.conf is gone now in ubuntu, is there some new way of setting what the buttons should do, or do I have to create a new xorg.conf file and try to make that work?
[01:04] <Bilz> anyone here have a laptop with intel gma 4500 MHD graphics card? glxgears gives me around ~1000 - 1500 max fps on ubuntu 9.04, whilst it gives >2000 on win XP. any ideas? I thought the drivers worked out of the box?
[01:04] <mgolisch> bucknasty: grep?
[01:05] <captivus> kn100: It comes with Karmic
[01:05] <captivus> kn100: Check Accessories
[01:05] <kn100> captivus, I don't run ubuntu anymore
[01:05] <captivus> kn100: Gah!
[01:05]  * captivus shudders ...
[01:05] <trevor> is there anyway to get your display settings to stay,everytime i reboot i have to reset them
[01:06] <trevor> what do you run kn100
[01:07] <Maletor> what do i want to install to unarchive .rar files?
[01:07] <kn100> trevor, an odd blend of os's built from ubuntu-minimal
[01:07] <kn100> i've got bits from fedora, and some bits from *buntu
[01:07] <jolaren> Trying to install grub to /dev/sdb3 but it wont work
[01:07] <jolaren> I'm running out of ideas
[01:07] <captivus> kn100: The package is baobab
[01:08] <kn100> captivus, I know now :)
[01:08] <kn100> Anyway, thanks for the help
[01:08] <captivus> kn100: Sorry ... gnome-utils
[01:08] <kn100> captivus, yeah I figured that out
[01:08] <kn100> heh i hate it when packages are grouped like that
[01:10] <captivus> It's inelegant, I agree
[01:10] <neezer> so does anybody here know anythign about x11 port forwarding?
[01:10] <captivus> neezer: I know a bit about it ...
[01:10] <neezer> I'm looking to remote desktop into my ubuntu server from my ubuntu laptop.
[01:11] <neezer> I have ssh working with key authentication no problem.
[01:11] <neezer> I can even use the -X tag and run gedit and firefox remotely.
[01:12] <neezer> I would like to know how to get the remote desktop to show in a window.
[01:12] <mgolisch> neezer: it has a desktop?
[01:12] <mgolisch> neezer: id use nxserver
[01:12] <mgolisch> neezer: its realy fast especialy over the internet
[01:12] <neezer> I actually had to install ubuntu desktop 9.10 instead of ubuntu server...
[01:12] <manbra> What would cause my left click to act as mouse3
[01:13] <Bilz> anyone here have a laptop with intel gma 4500 MHD graphics card? glxgears gives me around ~1000 - 1500 max fps on ubuntu 9.04, whilst it gives >2000 on win XP. any ideas? I thought the drivers worked out of the box?
[01:13] <neezer> it is an old board with only SATA I ports on it, and the chipset didn't recognize the two SATA II drives that I had.
[01:13] <mgolisch> Bilz: glxgears is no real benchmark
[01:13] <neezer> so I get a PCI RAID card...but the server edition didn't have the drivers for it. the desktop version did.
[01:13] <mgolisch> Bilz: also i doubt the drivers have the same performance as the windows ones
[01:15] <Alan502_> Ok, so i'm using Kubuntu and my audio card suddenly stopped working :\ I just booted and was prompted with a window that asked my if i wanted to remove my HDA intel drivers as it seemed that they were no longer to be necessary, because my card was not detected. I rebooted but, for my relief, found that my audio card DOES still work in windows. What could be happening? PLEASE HELP!!!
[01:15] <Bilz> mgolisch, well its just that windows seems to generally run smoother than ubuntu. and the fps seems to be the difference that i have noted, and i just have a hunch that thats the problem
[01:15] <captivus> Garh!
[01:15] <captivus> Is it a safe move to just kill the launcher and then disable it from starting?
[01:15] <captivus> Is gnome running underneath it?
[01:15] <Bilz> mgolisch, so I can assume that the linux drivers just arent as good as windows? that kinda sucks. can i assume that that will always be the case?
[01:16] <neezer> captivus are you talking to me about gnome running underneath?
[01:16] <captivus> neezer: Nah mate ... sorry.
[01:16] <captivus> forceflow: ^^
[01:16] <neezer> thats ok
[01:17] <Alan502_> sync
[01:17] <mgolisch> Bilz: no idea, never tried games on my intel laptop, those cards are not made for that
[01:18] <Bilz> mgolisch, its not about games. i dont play games, i just noticed xp is smoother
[01:18] <mgolisch> Bilz: are you on 9.10?
[01:18] <centHOGG> Bilz: $$$
[01:18] <Bilz> mgolisch, tried to install, had issues (with graphics actually!) so i stayed away
[01:19] <mgolisch> i remember some prior release had major problems with intel gma based graphics adaptors
[01:19] <Bilz> mgolisch, 64 bit 9.04
[01:19] <Bilz> mgolisch, i think that may have been 8.04
[01:19] <Bilz> its not really a MAJOR issue
[01:19] <jolaren> I got this really annoying error. I'm running the Ubuntu Minimal Installation usbstick.. I want to install it to my external error but GRUB refuses to be installed. I can install LILO with no problems but I strongly dislike LILO. How can I get it to work?
[01:20] <mgolisch> Bilz: id start by checking which xorg driver is actualy loaded
[01:20] <microhaxo> Anyone with Eee pc or other netbooks find PowerTOP usefull to install and run?
[01:20] <mgolisch> Bilz: it might have bad performance using the vesa driver
[01:21] <jeff1140> OK, I installed the NVIDIA 96 driver and I am still having my issue
[01:21] <jolaren> microhaxo; I haven't run it myself but I have har)
[01:21] <Alan502> client sycing...
[01:21] <mgolisch> neezer: i think you could query the display chooser but doing the whole desktop using ssh x11 forwarding might be dog slow, as i said it use nxserver from nomachine
[01:22] <jolaren> microhaxo; I'm running a lg x110, I don't believe that PowerTOP is worth the installation
[01:22] <mgolisch> neezer: its realy fast and it tunnels the whole traffic though ssh
[01:22] <Bilz> mgolisch, cheers. on XP at the mo so cant really check, was just curious. Thanks for the help
[01:22] <tomtomdie> How would you update to the most recent version of phpmyadmin?
[01:23] <kenyabob> How do I check the number of mysql connections I have open?
[01:23] <captivus> tomtomdie: sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin ?
[01:24] <jeff1140> I am still having my issue
[01:24] <tomtomdie> captivus: thanks but that doesn't seem to work.
[01:24] <captivus> tomtomdie: It will update to the latest version in the repo
[01:24] <Booma> hi @ all anyone in here using oss and can tell me how go get it from stereo to 5.1 or 7.1 (5.1 system on 7.1 card)
[01:24] <Booma> ?
[01:25] <mnn> kenyabob: mysqladmin proc -p
[01:25] <ivonne> ola
[01:25] <hal> ola
[01:25] <captivus> tomtomdie: If you want to upgrade to something more current, you'll have to pull it down manually and install it
[01:26] <Booma> hßM
[01:26] <Booma> hm?
[01:26] <neezer> is nxserver in the repos?
[01:26] <neezer> do I install it on my laptop or my server?
[01:27] <mgolisch> neezer: i think there is freenx in the repos no idea how well that works, i allways use the debian packages from nomachine.com, but i would asume that freenx works too
[01:27] <mgolisch> neezer: you need to install the server on your server and the client component on your laptop
[01:28] <kenyabob> mnn: thanks!
[01:28] <Booma> oehm.. did someone read me? -.-
[01:29] <Boo-boo> hi @ all anyone in here using oss and can tell me how go get it from stereo to 5.1 or 7.1 (5.1 system on 7.1 card)
[01:30] <Boo-boo> wtf why does is say i'm still named boo -.-
[01:30] <kn100> Boo-boo, type /nick whatever to change your nick
[01:30] <kn100> it may not change, that means someone else is using it
[01:30] <mgolisch> Boo-boo: does also not support your card?
[01:30] <mgolisch> or why do you use oss?
[01:30] <mgolisch> *alsa*
[01:31] <jeff1140> I cant select my desktop resolution in Ubuntu.  I cannot select 1366x768.  Any ideas?
[01:32] <Boo-boo> problem is, my sound kept crashing maybe 1 sec after i fixed it and i googled... and tried combinations of alsa, pulse and esound and nothing made me really happy and then i found oss and fellowed a guide till now stereo and no more crashes
[01:32] <captivus> jeff1140: You try editing xorg.conf?
[01:32] <EntityReborn> I have installed ubuntu, and I wish to resize the partition, and install vista to dual boot. is this fairly easy to pull off?
[01:33] <jeff1140> Captivus, How do I do that?  I am new to Linux
[01:33] <matts45acp> is anyone willing to help me setup my wireless connection?
[01:33] <Boo-boo> and sry for maybe bad english or noobish stuff :D german and little linux noob
[01:33] <Boo-boo> i rejoin quickly
[01:34] <captivus> Do we have a bot in here with canned info available via trigger words?
[01:34] <i_is_broke> !bot | captivus
[01:34] <Boo-boo> sry back now
[01:34] <mgolisch> Boo-boo: sorry no experience with oss
[01:35] <captivus> i_is_broke: Fanks!  I'll have a look at what he's got and start using it to help others.
[01:35] <captivus> i_is_broke: Are his triggers public, or do I need permissions to use them?
[01:35] <i_is_broke> captivus you dont need permission
[01:35] <captivus> jeff1140: I'd recommend Googling that one ... the file isn't difficult to understand but you'll need to read a bit.
[01:35] <Boo-boo> this is so annoying ... trying to give linux a try and spending DAYS on fixing sound -.-
[01:35] <captivus> jeff1140: You're going to want to edit it and ensure that the resolution you're after is configured therein.
[01:37] <jeff1140> Here is my Xorg.Conf file
[01:37] <jeff1140> Section "Screen"
[01:37] <jeff1140> 	Identifier	"Default Screen"
[01:37] <jeff1140> 	DefaultDepth	24

[01:37] <FloodBot4> jeff1140: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:38] <kn100> Boo-boo, unfortunately sound is not one of Linux's strong points
[01:38] <jayson> ubuntu is reporting that my hard drive has some bad sectors is there a program I can test my hard drive with
[01:38] <mgolisch> jayson: what does it say? relocated sectors?
[01:38] <Boo-boo> kn100 yeah i allready heard that in maybe 50 or more threads :)
[01:38] <jeff1140> Does my xorg.conf file look ok?
[01:38] <wei> hello
[01:39] <jayson> mgolisch, it's just say disk may have bad sectors
[01:39] <PiperMan> hello wei
[01:39] <matts45acp> is anyone willing to help me setup my wireless connection?
[01:39] <Suzanne> Hello Hal--are you there?  It's Suzanne
[01:39] <kn100> matts45acp, whats wrong with it?
[01:39] <mgolisch> jayson: that actualy means the disk firmware replaced some sectors with spare ones, you wont find anything using badblocks or similar
[01:39] <PiperMan> hi Suzanne
[01:39] <wei> hi, PiperMan
[01:39] <PiperMan> wei...where are you from?
[01:39] <Suzanne> Hal--are you there?
[01:39] <kn100> matts45acp, A quick fix that usually works, plug the laptop into an ethernet connection, open a terminal, type sudo apt-get update
[01:39] <Alan502> I've got a pretty bad problem! help please :) Ok, so my audio card stopped working suddenlty. I rebooted to change to kubuntu after playing some games on my windows partition. Surprisingly, kubuntu showed my a window asking if i wanted to remove drivers that were no longer going to be used, as my audio card was no longer detected. I rebooted again and changed to windows to see if my problem was really with my audio card, but my audio DID work in windows.
[01:39] <jayson> mgolisch, it says that every time ubuntu starts  how do i get rid of that
[01:39] <Alan502>  What could be happening? How can i enable my audio again? :\
[01:39] <wei> originally from China. currently, studying in US
[01:40] <PiperMan> nice
[01:40] <PiperMan> brazilian...hello from BRIC
[01:40] <kn100> then it _should_ tell you that there are drivers to use matts45acp
[01:40] <jayson> mgolisch, if i put my mouse over the icon it says the disk is failing
[01:40] <TuxOtaku> anyone here use ubuntu on an acer aspire one ZA3?
[01:41] <matts45acp> kn100 ok ill try that
[01:41] <mgolisch> jayson: open the tool and click details, its probably relocated sectors, it started to do the same for me, not sure if its a bug in ubuntus s.m.a.r.t support or if all our disks suddenly started dieing for real
[01:41] <mgolisch> :)
[01:41] <PiperMan> anyone from russia?
[01:41] <Snausages> TuxOtaku: mine's also an aspire one, but it's a different variant.  What problem are you having?
[01:41] <TuxOtaku> Snausages, can't get the webcam to work on ustream
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> works fine in Cheese
[01:42] <mgolisch> jayson: if thats not a bug it means your disk may fail soon
[01:42] <kn100> TuxOtaku, I have this issue
[01:42] <kn100> TuxOtaku, it's not a webcam issue
[01:42] <Snausages> TuxOtaku: I don't know ustream.  Have you tried it in cheese?  does it work there?
[01:42] <kn100> its a Flash issue
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> ahhh
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> I kinda figured
[01:42] <Snausages> oh, that makes sense
[01:42] <Alan502> I know my message was large but i tried to be as descriptive as possible!
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> any workarounds you can think of, kn100?
[01:42] <kn100> TuxOtaku, If you can right click > settings > select webcam then it'll work
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> ohhh
[01:42] <matts45acp> kn100 i did that, now what
[01:42] <jayson> mgolisch, reallocated sector count
[01:42] <TuxOtaku> kn100, lemme try that. just a sec
[01:43] <kn100> matts45acp, in the settings, find something like 'hardware drivers'
[01:43] <Gaming4JC> Hey all, got a problem and I've already googled and been to the forums. Just  totally uninstalled Wine (rm and --purged it) and deleted the wine menu on ubuntu 9.10, now when I resintalled Wine I can't get it back. Also it's not in the deleted menu list... any ideas how to get it back? :(
[01:43] <jolaren> I'm thinking perhaps I haev issues installing GRUB because I have two partitions, one 2gig swap and 8gig of "/" DO I have to have a /boot partition?
[01:43] <TuxOtaku> kn100, it won't let me select settings
[01:43] <jayson> mgolisch, It gives a warming with value 154 with threshold =140
[01:44] <Snausages> Alan502: I don't know the right way to fix that, but I know many people have cleared audio issues by removing & reinstalling audio support via apt or synaptic.
[01:44] <jayson> mgolisch, there is the test in there as well so i'm doing that now
[01:44] <blakkheim> jolaren: only if you use encryption
[01:45] <Alan502> Snausages, which packages are those?
[01:45] <jolaren> blakkheim; I see.. then I need to startover and remove the encryption
[01:46] <blakkheim> jolaren: yeah, you need an unencrypted /boot partition otherwise grub has nothing to boot into
[01:46] <trevor> i have been consistently losing wireless conectivity every minute or so, does anyone know what the problem could be
[01:46] <jolaren> blakkheim; but do I still need a "/" partition?
[01:46] <blakkheim> jolaren: yes
[01:46] <blakkheim> jolaren: but it can be encrypted :)
[01:47] <jolaren> blakkheim; I got 2 partions to install on. 1 2gig and one 9gig.. which should I put which on?
[01:47] <Snausages> Alan502: one would be alsa, the mixer.  The other would be the actual card driver, and that obviously varies from machine to machine.  I don't know how to advise you there.
[01:47]  * totem is away: sorry my girl friend wanna sex right now.
[01:47] <jolaren> blakkheim; the /boot on the 2gig, rite?
[01:47] <Alan502> Snausages, ok i'll reinstall the drivers and the alsa and mixer packages
[01:47] <blakkheim> jolaren: /boot only needs around 100-200mb
[01:48] <captivus> totem: liar! ;)
[01:48] <Alan502> Snausages, are the packages called "alsa" and "mixer" exactly?
[01:48] <jolaren> blakkheim; rite, I really hope this is why I haven't been able to install grub
[01:49] <Snausages> Alan502: I don't know.  Alsa is the right search key.  Alsa *is* the mixer, it's not two seperate things.
[01:49] <Snausages> Alan502: I don't know an appropriate name to use for searching out the audio driver itself.
[01:49] <Alan502> Snausages, i see well i'll just look for both keywords
[01:49] <Alan502> Snausages, thanks
[01:49] <Alan502> Snausages, i'd rather download the drivers from the oficial webpage
[01:49]  * Gaming4JC is left scratching his head why the ubuntu menu fails to show wine again ?_?
[01:50] <CShadowRun> Gaming4JC: tried using the menu editor?
[01:50] <jherraez> hey there, im trying the lucid alpha 1 on a virtual machine, and it demands login/pw , which i  have no idea what it could be
[01:50] <jherraez> anyone knows
[01:50] <Gaming4JC> CShadowRun: Yes, and it didn't revert back.
[01:50] <maco> !lucid | jherraez

[01:51] <Carlis> I need help
[01:52] <Lyra> Hey guys, I'm having an issue with sound. I just upgraded to 9.10 and finally found new drivers for my sound card. The only problem is when I plug in my headphones it doesn't mute the speakers. I've looked through the ubuntu forums and it said to add an entry to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf but it doesn't seem to have worked. Does anyone know anything about this issue?
[01:52] <sweetandy> I'm installing Ubuntu 9.10 on a 2007 laptop I just got from my friend in exchange for recovering his files. **does a little dance**
[01:53] <jolaren> blakkheim; should the "/" be "bootable"?
[01:53] <sebsebseb> sweetandy: that was maybe a little bit unfair, since doesn't useually take that much to recover files?
[01:53] <Snausages> sebsebseb: I dunno, I have a 2002 laptop I got the same way
[01:53] <Snausages> (got it years ago)
[01:54] <sweetandy> sebsebseb: He wanted to get rid of the laptop anyway, he has a brand new one with Win7. He had hardware compatibility troubles with Windows in the past, no use for the laptop anymore.
[01:54] <sebsebseb> sweetandy: well  you could have installed Desktop LInux on there for him :D
[01:54] <Carlis> I need help
[01:55] <sweetandy> sebsebseb: I'm installing it now ;)
[01:55] <CVirus> I'm new to apache .. All I want to do is the following: When a local user accesses facebook.com I want him to be redirected to a certain .php file in my /var/www/ ... so added this line in my /etc/hosts "<IP_ADDRESS> facebook.com" ... Now how can I redirect the user to that particular page ?
[01:55] <sebsebseb> sweetandy: yeah, but for you not him, anyway off topic
[01:55] <sweetandy> !ask | Carlis
[01:56] <SoftwareExplorer> CVirus: Name the .php file index.php , and I think it will work
[01:56] <Carlis> ok
[01:56] <sebsebseb> Carlis: bulk mail?
[01:56] <Carlis> yes
[01:56] <CVirus> SoftwareExplorer: I want this for different websites .. each website shall redirect to a certain .php file
[01:56] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, the user may need to flush his dns cache, if they already visited the site recently
[01:57] <Boo-boo> uh qiet here ... maybe now someone xperience with oss and 5.1/7.1 ? :D
[01:57] <Lyra> Does anyone know anything about an issue with realtek sound cards not muting the speakers when you plug in headphones?
[01:57] <sebsebseb> Carlis: a spam filter?
[01:57] <fchurca> hi
[01:57] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, you can't use <IP_ADDRESS> for all, use other IPs in 127.x.x.x
[01:57] <Carlis> no spam filter
[01:57] <Gaming4JC> CShadowRun: there's a file in /etc/xdm/menu/wine.menu seems to be it? But it's not showing up in my local menu
[01:57] <CShadowRun> Gaming4JC: no clue, sorry.
[01:58] <Carlis> to send 1 mail to many ppl
[01:58] <fchurca> i've got a problem; i can't access my server from my own lan using the domain name. I can from outside or using a proxy though.
[01:58] <damian> Lyra, thats usually down to how the socket is wired internally
[01:58] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, and set up apache to listen on each ip separately
[01:58] <mgolisch> Lyra: is it hda? it probably means the driver didnt detect the corrrect layout
[01:58] <CVirus> LizardK|ng: can you please elaborate a bit
[01:58] <fchurca> i can also from inside but using the private ip
[01:58] <[Neurotic]> Hi all - I'm attempting to install Legacy Grub on my 9.10 installation through this tutorial (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1360445), because I have a Bios Raid1 setup, and Grub2 won't install. I run the step where I 'sudo apt-get install grub', which seems to work correctly, but then there are no files in /boot/grub. Can show me what is going wrong when trying to install legacy grub?
[01:58] <mgolisch> Lyra: you may need to overide the this using module loadtime options
[01:59] <sebsebseb> Carlis: mailing list?
[01:59] <Carlis> yes
[01:59] <SoftwareExplorer> fchurca: you could use the hosts file
[01:59] <sebsebseb> Carlis: should be able to do that in an email client
[01:59] <Lyra> mgolisch: ho do I go about doing that?
[01:59] <mgolisch> Lyra: or maybe even patch or install a newer version of alsa, tried googling allready?
[02:00] <jjjj> karmic upgrade from jaunty: on first boot i get something about "kernel can't find boot device"
[02:00] <mgolisch> Lyra: id try googleling for your specific mainboad/laptop model and see if someone else had the same problem and probably solved it allready
[02:00] <fchurca> SoftwareExplorer: i know but i'd prefer not to. some of the computers here are not mine.
[02:00] <Carlis> I was using worldcast but in linux doesn´t run well through wine
[02:00] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, put a unique  ip in 127.x.x.x in hosts for each site and bind apache each address and set up a wwwroot for each ip
[02:00] <sebsebseb> Carlis: what's that?
[02:00] <CVirus> LizardK|ng: how can I bind apache to each IP ?
[02:00] <Lyra> mgolisch: yes, I just got the latest version from opensound and I've read in the forums that I should add an entry to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and it hasnt ficed the issue
[02:00] <mazda01> where are the icons for a users home dir stored? my new genoid theme has a black house for the desktops users home icon and my background is black, so i'd like to change the house to white. anyone know where the image is stored
[02:00] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, i don;t know apache well enough to give you specifc apache directives
[02:00] <Lyra> fixed*
[02:01] <LizardK|ng> CVirus, its in the docs
[02:01] <Carlis> what email client ?
[02:01] <CVirus> LizardK|ng: okay thanks a lot
[02:01] <mgolisch> CVirus: you can just create virtualhost that bind to a specific hostheader
[02:01] <mgolisch> CVirus: read about virtualhosts in apache docs
[02:01] <Carlis> WorldCast is bulk mail software for windows
[02:01] <LizardK|ng> mgolisch, can you put a hostheader in /etc/hosts?
[02:01] <Carlis> I need one for linux
[02:01] <sebsebseb> !email | Carlis
[02:01] <SoftwareExplorer> fchurca: it will also work to send them through a proxy server and have a hosts file set up on the proxy server, that's what we did at school
[02:01] <jjjj> karmic won't boot...kernel "can't initialize boot device" how do i fix this?
[02:01] <sebsebseb> Carlis: Evolution is the default email client program for Ubuntu
[02:02] <sebsebseb> Carlis: Mozilla Thunderbird and Kmail are nice as well
[02:02] <LizardK|ng> evolution is not bad
[02:02] <mgolisch> LizardK|ng: that doesnt matter the browser will allways use the hostname entered in the addressbar no matter what ip it resolves to
[02:02] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: maybe you can help them?
[02:03] <fchurca> SoftwareExplorer: that's not a viable option here either
[02:03] <LizardK|ng> sebsebseb, help who?
[02:03] <sebsebseb> LizardK|ng: Carlis
[02:03] <LizardK|ng> mgolisch, check out what CVirus is trying to do
[02:03] <LizardK|ng> carlis, what is the question?
[02:03] <SoftwareExplorer> fchurca: I kinda wondered if that was the case. Unluckily, I'm out of ideas
[02:04] <Carlis> is there a freeware linux bulk mail ???
[02:04] <CVirus> mgolisch: I will do like what you said
[02:04] <LizardK|ng> oh, bulk mail, i'd write a script that calls sendmail
[02:04] <mgolisch> LizardK|ng: CVirus , id do the following, setup a new virtualhost that listens on the hostheader facebook.com, have the hostfile resolve that to the ip of apache and be done with
[02:04]  * totem is back (gone 00:17:15)
[02:04] <LizardK|ng> mgolisch, yes, you;re right, it wold work that way
[02:05] <LizardK|ng> would*
[02:05] <LizardK|ng> Carlis, i;m sure someone wrote a script to do bulk emailing
[02:05] <jeffrey_> what is the difference of xchat -ir

[02:08] <CShadowRun> Carlis i doubt anyone here would want to help with builk mailing
[02:08] <Gaming4JC> Does anyone know where the Applications menu is located (in .menu file??) and if it can be reloaded? I'm sure wine has gotta be in there and just not showing up. ?_?
[02:08] <sebsebseb> jeffrey_: ,but I think it's also the one a lot of people say isn't good, but I am not sure
[02:08] <CShadowRun> It's spammy and horrible
[02:08] <LizardK|ng> carlis, google for bulk email linux; the second hit is a product you might be able to use and there are a few mentioned in the first hit
[02:08] <jjjj> what does karmic call sata partitions? is it "sda1, sda2" etc ?
[02:08] <SoftwareExplorer> jjjj: It usually uses uuid's
[02:08] <jeffrey_> ok thanks seb^3
[02:09] <marco____> mgolisch: i think so
[02:09] <marco____> mgolisch: how?
[02:09] <mgolisch> Gaming4JC: the wine entries are created on first run of wine
[02:09] <SoftwareExplorer> jjjj: you can find out the uuid's of your disks by running 'sudo blkid'
[02:09] <jeffrey_> who wants to create an OS for me
[02:09] <jeffrey_> ;)
[02:09] <mazda01> where are the icons for a users home dir stored? my new genoid theme has a black house for the desktops users home icon and my background is black, so i'd like to change the house to white. anyone know where the image is stored
[02:09] <mgolisch> marco____: click on the username in the top right corner select logout?
[02:10] <jjjj> SoftwareExplorer, thanks
[02:10] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch: Once I do and complete uninstall of Wine and wipe out the menu, reinstalling is impossible then? :(
[02:10] <SoftwareExplorer> jjjj: Your welcome :)
[02:10] <Darkchylde> mazda01: try /home/(your username)/.icons

[02:13] <marco_______->         (In some cases useful info about processes that use

[02:13] <LizardK|ng> marco_______-, sda1 is busy and cannot be unmounted.

[02:14] <LizardK|ng> oops
[02:14] <cast> marco_______-: your nick sucks.
[02:14] <LizardK|ng> marco_______-, lsof and fuser
[02:14] <mgolisch> Gaming4JC: non ubuntu packages of wine probably dont have those menu entries
[02:14] <jeffrey_> thank you exewmute
[02:14] <marco_______-> LizardK|ng: how
[02:14] <exewintermute> no problem
[02:14] <Gaming4JC> mglisch: Then why aren't the official wine1.2 packages installing the menu either?
[02:14] <LizardK|ng> marco_______-, man lsof and man fuser
[02:15] <mgolisch> marco_______-: what is /dev/sda1?
[02:15] <LizardK|ng> mgolisch, probably /
[02:15] <mgolisch> its not your bootmedia is it?
[02:16] <JoeSomebody> some ahole in windows channel gave me a link that toasted my ubuntu
[02:16] <JoeSomebody> some ahole in windows channel gave me a link that toasted my ubuntu
[02:16] <cast> and what was the link?
[02:16] <LizardK|ng> JoeSomebody,  probably not
[02:16] <blackest_knight> marco_______-:  if sda1 is busy it is because its where your root f/s is
[02:16] <mgolisch> JoeSomebody: what did that link say to do?
[02:16] <maco> JoeSomebody: what?
[02:16] <JoeSomebody> i thought this was better than windows
[02:16] <Luke> anyone know how to set up a local multicast channel on my desktop? I want to test a multicast app.
[02:16] <cast> blackest_knight: it might be, or it might not be
[02:16] <LizardK|ng> JoeSomebody, it is, if you have half a clue
[02:17] <JoeSomebody> very disappointed guys
[02:17] <LizardK|ng> JoeSomebody's link had him do rm -rf /

[02:17] <mgolisch> in what?
[02:17] <captivus> JoeSomebody: What are you on about?
[02:17] <iceroot> JoeSomebody: you have a ubuntu-related support-question? or just trolling?
[02:18] <dr34mc0d3r> joe sounds clueless
[02:18] <iceroot> LizardK|ng: that is not working on bash anymore
[02:18] <JoeSomebody> i was given a link, then all kinds of windows opened, i closed them and they kept reopening
[02:18] <maco> JoeSomebody: what was the link?
[02:18]  * Gaming4JC *sigh* #winehq says ubuntu isn't making the menus right. So why is "wine winemenubuilder -a" not working on 9.10 ubuntu x64??? :s
[02:18] <iceroot> JoeSomebody: rick rolling something?
[02:18] <blackest_knight> sounds like javascript

[02:19] <captivus> Jesus ...
[02:19] <JoeSomebody> good luck

[02:20] <captivus> JoeSomebody: Then piss off, mate!
[02:20] <mgolisch> just ignore JoeSomebody
[02:20] <JoeSomebody> i want help to protect and save it
[02:20] <iceroot> maco: there are no virusues and so on for linux, so its offtopic, also this is not a windows marketing channel, just a ubuntu support channel
[02:21] <Gaming4JC> JoeSomebody: I don't see how win742.com could have nuked Ubuntu: http://wepawet.cs.ucsb.edu/view.php?hash=5eff79c8cb5e7d3f66266b22551695e4&t=1261622120&type=js

[02:22] <Gaming4JC> maco: running a virus without getting you to enter root password or keylog it? hmm...
[02:22] <JoeSomebody> should i try 8.04 and kaspersky? i am very tempted to go backwards
[02:22] <maco> Gaming4JC: sure. you can have a virus thatll just wipe out ~ and leave the system alone

[02:26] <Gaming4JC> good riddens
[02:26] <blackest_knight> is anybody here genuinely offended ? seriously
[02:26] <Gaming4JC> guy seemed to be spamming idk :(
[02:26] <Gaming4JC> anywayy can anyone tell me about the Ubuntu Applications Menu?
[02:26] <Gaming4JC> does it reload automatically or can it be manually reset to check for new apps?
[02:27] <jeffrey_> hi
[02:27] <captivus> How can I add virtual desktops to UNR?
[02:27] <jeffrey_> need ubuntu help
[02:28] <jeffrey_> how do i create more space
[02:28] <Gaming4JC> !ask
[02:28] <tritium> iceroot: thanks for the notice.  Looks like he left.
[02:28] <karma_police> what did i miss??\
[02:28] <jeffrey_> when i install it says i have no space left
[02:28] <iceroot> tritium: seems so, i am ignoring quit,part and join messages :)
[02:29] <Darkchylde> yeah, he left.
[02:29] <jeffrey_> "no space left on device" how do i change the o/s to secondary drive
[02:29] <maco> jeffrey_: sudo apt-get clean
[02:29] <maco> jeffrey_: that should clear old installers out
[02:30] <jeffrey_> i ran it
[02:30] <Boo-boo>  ... maybe now someone xperience with oss and 5.1/7.1 ? :D
[02:30] <Gaming4JC> jefferey: BleachBit might be a bit of help to clear out some space too.
[02:30] <cast> jeffrey_: using LVM?
[02:30] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  apt-get clean helps getting rid of old kernels helps
[02:31] <mgolisch> Gaming4JC: if you dont install the ubuntu wine the wine menu entries wont show up because ubuntu puts them somewhere special
[02:31] <mgolisch> Gaming4JC: maybe see if you can see any wine entries in the menu editor
[02:32] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  probably worth running diskusage analyser
[02:32] <heoa> netstat shows too many connection to my router. How can I kill unwanted visitors?
[02:32] <zebastian> i am on ubuntu using lxde, for some reason everytime i restart the desktop wallpaper dissapears and i have to check the wallpaper option and select a picture only to lose it next time i reboot, any help much appreciated
[02:32] <mgolisch> heoa: visitors?
[02:32] <jeffrey_> marco - i get this E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[02:32] <jeffrey_> E: Unable to lock the download directory
[02:32] <jeffrey_> after running apt- get clean
[02:33] <iceroot> jeffrey_: sudo apt-get clean
[02:33] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch: I installed the wine from the ubuntu repo, it's wine1.2 package. It DID have the menu as you mentioned. I "Marked for Complete Removal" wine 1.2 (to get a clean wine) then I went to Applications>>EditMenu and DELETED the entry. Then I installed wine1.2 it never came back.
[02:33] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_: you are in the difficult position of having no space at all which makes it hard to even delete stuff
[02:33] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch: I also checked for the "Delete line" in the .menu file, it wasn't there

[02:35] <Gaming4JC> heoa: Make a temporary double firewall? Install FireStarter, Go To Policy>>Outbound>>Deny connection to host
[02:35] <heoa> mgolisch: netstat
[02:35] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  you need to delete something in your user directory
[02:36] <Gaming4JC> heoa: You might want to check out MoBlocker as well, IPTables firewall.
[02:36] <heoa> Gaming4JC: a router, not a desktop
[02:36] <jeffrey_> ty maco, b_k and cast
[02:36] <hutchic> so updated to 9.10 Netbook remix and all my gnome applets (power, network, display) are missing .... help please
[02:37] <Maletor> Hello
[02:37] <blackest_knight> heoa get the tomato beta its nicer than ddwrt
[02:37] <Gaming4JC> heoa: Is your router running linux of any kind or... ?? you can even ssh into a terminal and setup iptables firewall.
[02:37] <Maletor> I keep getting this error "apache2: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using <IP_ADDRESS> for ServerName" no matter what I do. I have uninstalled and reinstalled apache twice. I cannot make this error go away.
[02:37] <Gaming4JC> heoa: If it's a specific router try googling your make and model on router configuration
[02:38] <jeffrey_> how can i swap drive for my o/s
[02:38] <Maletor> I have fiddled with /etc/hosts and /etc/apache2/apache.conf i just want to make things go back to defaults and work
[02:38] <jeffrey_> switch to my big drive
[02:38] <cast> jeffrey_: with LVM.
[02:38] <cast> jeffrey_: but you never answered that question, so nevermind
[02:38] <Gaming4JC> Maletor: try #apache  ?
[02:38] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  get gparted livecd and copy paste and resize :)
[02:38] <jeffrey_> cast - lvm is a software or code
[02:38] <jeffrey_> cast - what question
[02:39] <cast> software is code
[02:39] <mgolisch> heoa: whats that connection from, looks like a ssh login
[02:39] <Maletor> Gaming4JC, will do
[02:39] <Gaming4JC> :)
[02:39] <mgolisch> heoa: if thats someone you dont know id worry quite a bit
[02:39] <heoa> mgolisch: huh, clearly mobile phone
[02:39] <Maletor> but I would like to know if any one here has any opinions about what to do
[02:40] <hutchic> Maletor: ignore it, it generally doesn't adversely affect anything
[02:40] <jeffrey_> cast - i dont know what lvm is
[02:40] <blackest_knight> heoa:  logically change admin password and reboot the router
[02:41] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_: lvm logical volumes a method of making two partitions look like one big one
[02:41] <Gaming4JC> jefferey_: If you chose it on Ubuntu install you'd know what it is. It's a special format for formatting HDDs: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=141900
[02:42] <Maletor> htchic, i know it doesn't adversly effect anything but i actually need it to work
[02:42] <Maletor> i want to be able to go to mysevername.local
[02:42] <Maletor> so it needs to work with /etc/hosts
[02:43] <jeffrey_> blackest_knight thank you
[02:43] <jeffrey_> error on installing gpart
[02:43] <hutchic> Maletor I get the same error and my virtual hosts still work
[02:43] <blackest_knight> Maletor:  add an entry in your hosts file
[02:44] <blackest_knight> jeffrey_:  you need to delete or move something  you have no space left dude#
[02:44] <Alan502> My audio card is not detected! It is on windows but i lost my audio card in kubuntu, kde even prompted me to remove the drivers as they were "no longer necessary"
[02:44] <Alan502> what could be the possible reasons?
[02:44] <jeffrey_> oh coo brb
[02:45] <_Pb> where does pidgin save file transfers in ubuntu?
[02:45] <Boo-boo> u can choose
[02:45] <jolaren> _Pb; by defauly ur desktop i think
[02:45] <_Pb> oh, ok
[02:45] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: try running: aplay -l
[02:45] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: that will list all possible audio devices, or should
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> !pastebin Alan502
[02:46] <_Pb> it's not there
[02:46] <i_is_broke> ok , no one is answering in #samba so ill ask here, whats the benefits of using samba and is it hard to setup and run?
[02:46] <_Pb> oh well, thanks anyways
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> !pastebin:Alan502
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> dumb ubottu :P
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Use pastebin.ubuntu.com to show the results
[02:47] <Seeker`> !pastebin | Gaming4JC
[02:47] <Gaming4JC> ah
[02:47] <Scott__> vbox will not run your 3d games
[02:47] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, damn, mom calling for dinner, will you still be here in 30 mins?
[02:47] <Maletor> this error is so aggravating, how do i get it to go away
[02:47] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Perhaps, if not some one else should know.  Thanks in advanced. :D
[02:50] <trism> Gaming4JC: right-click/edit menu?
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> trism: That's the GUI way, I want to see the actual .menu file.
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> text based :/
[02:51] <trism> Gaming4JC: why?
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> Because I need to see if wine is infact installed into the menu and just not showing up. #winehq seems to think it's an ubuntu problem.
[02:52] <lstarnes> Gaming4JC: it's .desktop, not .menu
[02:53] <lstarnes> Gaming4JC: /usr/share/applications/wine.desktop
[02:53] <lstarnes> Gaming4JC: also, check system > preferences > main menu
[02:53] <trism> Gaming4JC: it is not in one location, they are all over the place...for instance the applications links when you install a program in wine are in ~/.local/share/applications/wine
[02:53] <jjames> hey ppl
[02:53] <Gaming4JC> lstarnes: Already checked there many times, and reverted. Still no luck
[02:54] <mgolisch> reverted?
[02:54] <mgolisch> the packagemanager doenst touch user files
[02:54] <mgolisch> it must be something else thats broken
[02:54] <Gaming4JC> System>> Preferences >> Main Menu >> Revert (bottom right)
[02:54] <mgolisch> or you use a non ubuntu wine package
[02:54] <Gaming4JC> restores missing programs
[02:54] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch ^^
[02:55] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch: I disagree, many forum posts reveal the same issue. It's gotta be an Ubuntu bug, anyone who removes wine from the menu cannot get it back. :s
[02:56] <jjames> does netbook remix 9.10  have live mode ?
[02:56] <jolaren> jjames; yes
[02:56] <Gaming4JC> mgolisch: And I have been using the official ubuntu package
[02:56] <jjames> k ty
[02:56] <jjames> imma try it out
[02:56] <jjames> lol
[02:56] <jolaren> Trying to install a bootloader to my external hdd but whatever I do nothing bites.. What hapends if I continue the installation without a bootloader?
[02:56] <jjames> i ahve a notebook which is only 12 inch monitor i think it will be good for it
[02:57] <jolaren> jjames; I have a lg x110, runs smooth =)
[02:57] <jjames> basically anything i can do on ubuntu 9.10 i can do on netbook remix correct?
[02:57] <jolaren> jjames; sure
[02:58] <blackest_knight> jjames try using reiserfs ( i know the support for that was dropped in some earlier versions
[02:58] <trism> Gaming4JC: the directories are stored in ~/.local/share/desktop-directories
[02:59] <blackest_knight> jjames:  gnome-shell is similar to remix but is a package on desktop sys
[02:59] <jjames> oh ok
[02:59] <jjames> i watched the video
[02:59] <jjames> looks hot
[02:59] <Gaming4JC> trism: thnx looking over the directories now, I may have also found something. And it is indeed an applications.menu file in the home directory.. :)
[03:00] <blackest_knight> jjames:  i dislike having all my apps maximised (just dont like remix )
[03:00] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, back
[03:00] <jjames> yeah
[03:00] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, i'm pasting my aplay -l input now
[03:00] <jjames> blackest well if you had  a notebook or netbook
[03:01] <jjames> u would know why netbook remix would be good
[03:01] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Try running some of the tests they did on this posting: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1144923 and ok. :)
[03:01] <blackest_knight> i have Aspireone and a little eee701 both on ubuntu desktop
[03:01] <jjames> blackest_knight have u tried sittin in front of a 12 inch monitor for more than 1 hour
[03:01] <jjames> hurts the eyes
[03:02] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, http://paste.ubuntu.com/345672/
[03:02] <hutchic> can anyone help me debug why the network manager gnome applet can't be displayed?
[03:02] <blackest_knight> yes i use a 9inch screen now , sometimes an ext 19inch as well :)
[03:02] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Also "/join #kubuntu" since your using Kubuntu, ubuntu is not the support for this distro specifically. :/
[03:02] <Gaming4JC> !kubuntu
[03:02]  * Gaming4JC looks over the pastebin
[03:03] <javatexan> is there an easy way to see if my home directory is being encrypted?
[03:04] <hutchic> ok alternatively to actually fixing my problem how can I revert to 9.04 or 9.10 Desktop instead of the netbook remix?
[03:05] <Gaming4JC> trism, mgolisch: Got it! And no I'm not insane, you can edit the app menu from a text file, actually it's the only way. Thanks to this post here it's working perfectly: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6477676&postcount=4
[03:05] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, ok i'm posting my problem there too
[03:06] <B3rz3rk3r> anyone aware of problems with AdBlock Plus today?
[03:06] <javatexan> !encrypted home dir
[03:06] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Ok, I hope they can help you out. I had a client who had an Intel audio chip just like you and it seemed to stop working entirely on 9.10 I think it may be a bug, 9.04 worked perfectly. :(
[03:07] <mgolisch> yeah hda sucks, too many different layouts and component configurations
[03:07] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, my chip is intel as well, are you suggesting i change back to 9.04?
[03:08] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Worst case scenario, but you may want to file a bug at launchpad if we can prove it's a bug. See what the other guys say at #kubuntu first.
[03:08] <mgolisch> usualy this kind of problems can easily be fixed by either overdiging the autodetection or using newer alsamodules or patch them if its somekind of regression
[03:08] <joshua__> so how do I clean up after using ssh oldmachine find / -depth -print0 \| cpio -H newc -o | cpio -imud to transfer install from one machine to another
[03:09] <jolaren> God damnit. I really can't manage to install ubuntu minimal to my eternal hdd
[03:09] <joshua__> I discovered all home directories owned by root. How much more do you suppose I need to fix?
[03:09] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, i still have like 15 updates left tho
[03:09] <joshua__> hmm eternal hdd how much do those cost?
[03:09] <Gaming4JC> !language | jolaren
[03:09] <Boo-boo>  ... maybe now someone xperience with oss and 5.1/7.1 ? :D my last try for tonight.... 4 am passed
[03:09] <joshua__> I'd like one that never dies too
[03:09] <Alan502> Gaming4JC,  i haden't updated for about to weeks... so i don't think the updates where the problem
[03:09] <jolaren> joshua__; It's pretty sweat
[03:09] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, but anyway, updating could solve it
[03:09] <jolaren> joshua__; sweet^^
[03:10] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Hmm yes, running sudo apt-get updates might resolve the issue then
[03:10] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Or just running your default updater application, I believe Kubuntu has one as does ubuntu
[03:11] <Boo-boo> good night to all of u ;)
[03:11] <Gaming4JC> !bye | Boo-boo
[03:14] <Seven_Six_Two> Is anyone on 9.10(64) still having an issue with npviewer.bin? The only bug I can find on launchpad is over 2 years old and it's only confirmed. Flash videos on google video and youtube are pausing over and over (not because of bandwidth) in both FF 3.5.6 and chrome. The bug I found is #141613
[03:14] <firefly> I want to change my display resolution to 1024x768 but in settings/display 800x600 is the highest shown (xubuntu 9.04)
[03:14] <trism> Gaming4JC: never thought you were, glad you got it working
[03:14] <Milostt> I have a question just install squid and configure it according lei but can be operated from webmin, install webmin but do not know how to to manage the squid from there
[03:14] <phaer> firefly: Check your video driver
[03:15] <jsoft_> Hey there, fellow computer users of the intergalactic interweb machine. Im wondering if there is a way to have my track pad gizmo disabled whenever I have a usb mouse inserted? Im getting a bit annoyed, because my thumbs keep resting on the track pad and clicking the cursor into random places, and buggering up my typing. And suggestions?
[03:15] <Seven_Six_Two> and npviewer.bin is using over %50 of cpu on a dual core system.
[03:15] <Gaming4JC> trism: ok, and thanks for your help on the directories though. It helped me clean out some left over wine remnants. :)
[03:15] <Alan502> Gaming4JC, yeah it does, i'll see if there is something related with audio in the updates
[03:15] <timo1> get a qaurd core system
[03:16] <Gaming4JC> Alan502: Ok, gl. :)
[03:16] <Seven_Six_Two> timo1, is that response supposed to be for me?
[03:16] <mMezquitale> Gaming4JC, what's wrong with audio?
[03:16] <timo1> Seven_Six_Two: yeh
[03:17] <Seven_Six_Two> alright.  If you're bored, try reading a book.
[03:17] <Gaming4JC> mMezquitale: Alan isn't getting any sound, seems to be related to a detected but not working Intel Audio Chip. I knew some one who had the same problem and was unable to fix it, perhaps it's an unsupported regression in 9.10 since it worked before updating from 9.04.
[03:17] <phaer> firefly: This link may help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Video
[03:17] <phaer> !bye
[03:18] <Gaming4JC> mMezquitale: Here's Alan's chip info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/345672/
[03:19] <mMezquitale> Gaming4JC, if the issue is related they should file a bug report
[03:19] <firefly> phaer thanks
[03:19] <Gaming4JC> mMezquitale, yes.
[03:19] <Gaming4JC> well, Alan and all I g2g byes and g'night 'tis late here
[03:20] <Gaming4JC> !bye @all
[03:20] <Gaming4JC> !bye | everyone
[03:21] <timo1> Seven_Six_Two:  im multi tasking
[03:21] <mMezquitale> Alan502, follow this guide and you should be able to reconfigure your sound card: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting
[03:22] <Alan502> mMezquitale, thanks for the link, i'll look at it :)
[03:22] <Seven_Six_Two> timo1, and? That doesn't make your suggestion any less absurd. Quad core so that I can watch youtube? Google didn't sell youtube to M$, did they?
[03:24] <timo1> Seven_Six_Two:  Not yet im sure ms are working on it
[03:25] <dnm> hello

[03:26] <dnm> thanks
[03:26] <yinlong> dnm,your problem please
[03:26] <dnm> actually i am using a dell xps
[03:27] <briana_> oh
[03:27] <yinlong> dnm,are you making double systems?
[03:27] <mMezquitale> Alan502, if you look at the guide, there's a section that asks you to download a script and it's supposed to upload the trouble shooting info to the web, that portion is broken, just execute the script that is downloaded to your machine and press N when it asks whether to upload the info to the net
[03:28] <mMezquitale> !ask | dmn
[03:30] <DeathMetalDean> I'm pretty sure my flash is messed up. I can't scroll to what time I want in a youtube video and I can't click to play flash games. Can anyone help?
[03:30] <arooni-mobile___> any recommendations on a timer app that can sync with RTM ?
[03:30] <arooni-mobile___> any recommendations on GTD apps for ubuntu?
[03:30] <joshua__> cron?
[03:31] <Alan502> mMezquitale, i think i'll have to use that script, cause none of the above is working :S thanks, but what should i do with the outputed information then?
[03:32] <AyCarumba> I need help with dvd::rip, it wont list data on disc

[03:33] <DeathMetalDean> I'm pretty sure my flash is messed up. I can't scroll to what time I want in a youtube video and I can't click to play flash games. Can anyone help?
[03:35] <Maletor> ok so no matter what i do with aptitude i cannot get files to repropogate into /etc/apache2
[03:35] <Maletor> i mean /etc/apache
[03:35] <yinlong> DeathMetalDean,may you describe it exactly?
[03:35] <yinlong> i will try to make it
[03:38] <joshua__> I once encountered a site claiming to have pirated copies of Linux
[03:38] <joshua__> well since they didn't have any source technically they were...
[03:38] <DeathMetalDean> yinlong, ummm I dunno I just can't really click on flash things, though they do play videos
[03:38] <Berzerker> what does something in ls being yellow mean?
[03:39] <joshua__> Berzerker: does it mean someone typed directly to you like it does for me?
[03:41] <Berzerker> joshua__, I didn't change anything so it's the default, it's a zip I renamed to an .apk (android) and it shows up as yellow, while other apks show up as regular color.
[03:41] <resnoo> where is the best place to find if a mobo will work with linux?
[03:41] <Berzerker> joshua__, trying to figure out why it's yellow
[03:41] <jolaren> Can anyone tell me why the boottime on my ubuntu minimal installation is so extremly long? We are talkin 3-5 minutes
[03:42] <joshua__> Berzerker: sounds like it's using thhe data in /usr/share/magic to know the real file type
[03:42] <Seven_Six_Two> DeathMetalDean, I'm having a flash issue as well. Are you on 64 bit? is anything using up your cpu?
[03:42] <DeathMetalDean> Seven_Six_Two, yeah I'm on 64bit and nothin isn't really usin up much cpu
[03:43] <mMezquitale> Alan502, the outputted information will guide you, it will tell you the hardware that's installed on your machine, the modules that are supposed to be installed, and the configuration that it needs to be working
[03:43] <moats> i was wondering if anyone could offer me any assistance with my keyboard. I am attempting to map my windows key so it will pop open my applications menu in gnome. however, when i go to set the shortcut and press my windows key, nothing is registered.
[03:44] <Seven_Six_Two> DeathMetalDean, from what I understand, there is an issue with npviewer.bin. something about adobe sucking when their 32 bit softs are wrapped for 64 systems
[03:44] <yinlong> DeathMetalDean,chat personally
[03:45] <Seven_Six_Two> yinlong, are you asking for a pm? because in case you missed it, I'm having an issue and could benefit from your sage advice
[03:45] <Steve132> So, I searched the forums and I couldn't find an answer to this, so I was hoping you could help:  I have an older laptop that needs the fwcutter restricted driver
[03:45] <jolaren> gah
[03:46] <Steve132> now, when I put in the liveCD, the restricted driver manager discovered the hardware, and offered to download the driver
[03:46] <Steve132> I refused, because, well, whats the use if its only gonna install on the liveCD
[03:46] <Steve132> so
[03:46] <Steve132> I boot my new install, everything goes swimmingly
[03:46] <thevishy> how do I delete something from the trash
[03:46] <DaZ> Seven_Six_Two: there's 64bit flashplayer
[03:47] <DaZ> and flashplayer sucks without wrapping to 64 :f
[03:47] <Steve132> and I expect the same menu to pop up so I can install my driver
[03:47] <yitz_> I got a friend in Dover Ohio and her Windows laptop is acting up. Is there any chance there is someone here living in Dover that could get her an Ubuntu CD in the next day or two? I'd be glad to pay compensation for the CD/gas/time (but not too much more). Please PM me...
[03:47] <Steve132> but it doesn't
[03:47] <Seven_Six_Two> DaZ, do you know the name? I've been using the adobe nonfree with nspluginviewer
[03:47] <DaZ> Seven_Six_Two: it is adobe nonfree
[03:47] <DaZ> but 64bit
[03:47] <Steve132> going to the restricted driver manager manually shows "no restricted drivers in use"
[03:48] <Steve132> how can I manually force the hardware scan to search for valid restricted drivers, just like the liveCD does?
[03:48] <DaZ> Seven_Six_Two: google for it as  afaik canonical doesn't want to include it to the repos
[03:49] <Seven_Six_Two> DaZ, ok thanks. I just checked synaptic again as you replied. It's still uninstalled so I'll give it a shot and report back here.
[03:50] <blankthemuffin> hi. Having a problem with a) the process of writing a usb boot image from a mac. and b) the terrible documentation of the process on the wiki.
[03:50] <thevishy> any idea how I can exmpty trash in my ubuntu box ?
[03:51] <joshua__> thevishy: rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*
[03:51] <thevishy> thans
[03:51] <thevishy> thanks*
[03:52] <horaz> hola
[03:52] <joshua__> you know there's gotta be a better way but I don't know my way around the GUI file manager
[03:52] <blankthemuffin> the instructions on the wiki are wrong ( they try to get you to use dd to write an iso to the disk, which does not work, and they also tell you to get the .img, which as far as I can tell are no longer distributed. ) and cluttered, spread out over several pages, as well as being way more difficult than they should be. Wondering if somebody could help me get it working, and maybe even write some decent documentation.
[03:52] <resnoo> where is the best place to find if a mobo will work with linux?
[03:53] <horaz> nobody speak spanish?

[03:53] <DaZ> resnoo: motherboards usually work
[03:53] <preecher> trying to install 9.10 on a extra laptop and after i try to boot from the install-it says remove disc and press enter and then system restarts and then it says "loading grub" and then it says error 18 and does nothing more--any ideas
[03:53] <woodyjlw> is there a good utility to download for 8.10 ubuntu to make networking easier?
[03:54] <resnoo> DaZ: i ask becuase it has onboard video and sound, etc
[03:54] <ctmjr> resnoo: ##hardware channel but most if not all will work
[03:54] <DaZ> resnoo: ati works, nvidia works, intel works
[03:54] <DaZ> integrated sound cards probably work [;
[03:55] <resnoo> DaZ: i like the probably part
[03:55] <resnoo> my luck ill get the one board that doesnt
[03:55] <DaZ> resnoo: i didn't use all the chipsets so i can't tell
[03:55] <jolaren> Can someone please answer this question. Is it regular that a ubuntu minimal installation installed onto a 500 gb external harddrive takes 5-10 min to install?
[03:55] <DaZ> but it's usually ac97 so it works
[03:55] <jolaren> I mean, to boot
[03:56] <resnoo> jolaren: hard drive has nothing to do with booting.
[03:56] <jolaren> resnoo; then what does? Why is it so extremly slow
[03:56] <woodyjlw> is networking just really really slow between ubuntu 8.10 and win 7 or is there a utility that I can install to make quicker
[03:56] <arghh2d2> jolaren: to boot a live cd?
[03:56] <resnoo> jolaren: plus booting to an external drive is inherently slower
[03:56] <jolaren> arghh2d2; to boot a external harddrive which i've installed ubuntu minimal to
[03:57] <jolaren> resnoo; So I should stop my project with a portabel media station kinda thingy? It wont get better?
[03:57] <DaZ> jolaren: fsck can take 10 minutes there [;
[03:58] <resnoo> jolaren: having an external hard drive, is going slower to boot. imo.
[03:58] <arghh2d2> jolaren: no, a minimal command line install should take that long even on an external drive
[03:58] <DaZ> jolaren: it should work, turn off the splashscreens to get some output
[03:58] <DaZ> hm
[03:58] <jolaren> arghh2d2; I' wrote it out wrong. The installation time is normal, it's the booting part that is slow.
[03:58] <tonsofpcs> anyone have a way to use my slingbox in linux?
[03:58] <arghh2d2> jolaren: DaZ is right tho, fsck on a drive that big could take awhile
[03:59] <mgolisch> works fine for me, firewire ftw
[03:59]  * DaZ is always right.
[03:59] <mgolisch> :)
[03:59] <preecher> trying to install 9.10 on a extra laptop and after i try to boot from the install-it says remove disc and press enter and then system restarts and then it says "loading grub" and then it says error 18 and does nothing more--any ideas
[03:59] <arghh2d2> jolaren: fsck could take awhile on a drive that big
[03:59] <jolaren> I'll just get a quick usb stick then just load the movies etc on the external harddrive
[03:59] <resnoo> DaZ: fsck runs everytime during bootup?
[04:00] <mrcode> Hi all.  (new here, first time on IRC)  I'm having a problem trying to convert a video to x264 format (.mp4) using ffmpeg.  I have the libx264-65 package installed in Synaptic, but when I try to use the "-vcodec libx264" option, it tells me "Unknown encoder: 'libx264'"  Can anyone help?  sorry if this is a noobish question.
[04:00] <tonsofpcs> try -vcodec x264
[04:00] <tonsofpcs> i think
[04:00] <DaZ> resnoo: it doesn't
[04:00] <arghh2d2> fsck shouldnt take that long unless its ext2 or has seriuosly bad sectors
[04:00] <mrcode> tonsofpcs: nope, still doesn't work
[04:01] <jolaren> What size of a usb memory stick do you recomend for a portabel os? just for surfing probarly
[04:01] <tonsofpcs> mrcode: do you have libx264 installed?
[04:01] <mgolisch> preecher: this means grub cant access the partition or files on it because its beyond the bios addressesable space, is this somne old computer?
[04:01] <Snausages> jolaren: I do fine with 1gb
[04:01] <B3rz3rk3r> jolaren, you can get away with a 2GB with no prob
[04:01] <tonsofpcs> [symlinked to libx264-65]
[04:01] <mgolisch> preecher: id try uopdating the bios or reinstall using a smal /boot partition at the very begining of the drive
[04:02] <Guest> does anyone know how to fix a "post-installation script" error?
[04:02] <preecher> its a older thinkpad r50- i had 9.04 and upgraded to 9.10 and then today i thought i would just install the 9.10 from disc
[04:02] <Guest> im not sure of the exact problem
[04:02] <mgolisch> Guest: look at it? the script and figure out what might be wrong
[04:02] <Guest> mgolisch: what script
[04:02] <arghh2d2> mgolisch: about boot partitions...on a dual booting system, do you need a /boot partition for each distro?
[04:03] <preecher> i just clicked the box to use entire harddrive
[04:03] <mgolisch> Guest: the postinst script of that package
[04:03] <Dyinglight12> hi guys i need help with 2 things. Switching to desktop mode, and getting wine.
[04:03] <Guest> where can i find that
[04:03] <arghh2d2> Dyinglight12: you'll need a fake ID to get wine
[04:04] <Safeway> ! pure gnome
[04:04] <Dyinglight12> cmon
[04:04] <mgolisch> Guest: it should be in /var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.postinst
[04:04] <Dyinglight12> wats the cmmd
[04:04] <Guest> mgolisch: the error is that when it processes something called "python2.6-minimal" theres an error and the installation crashes
[04:04] <arghh2d2> Dyinglight12: apt-get install wine
[04:05] <Guest> mgolisch: idont thing the problem is in the package script
[04:05] <resnoo> Dyinglight12: desktop mode?
[04:05] <arghh2d2> Dyinglight12: you mean graphic mode?
[04:05] <mgolisch> Guest: whats the exact message you get from dpkg? does it say the post-install script failed?
[04:06] <Guest> ill c & p from the beginning of error
[04:06] <mgolisch> Guest: then have a look at the script and see what it does and why it might fail on your system
[04:06] <resnoo> Guest please paste it in pastebin
[04:06] <Guest> idk what that is
[04:06] <Guest> mgolisch: so im
[04:06] <Guest> um
[04:06] <resnoo> Guest http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/
[04:06] <Guest> mgolisch: here is what the error is...
[04:06] <Safeway> Im having trouble removing the KUBUNTU and EDUBUNTU from startup.
[04:07] <resnoo> Guest paste the message, there and paste the link here
[04:07] <roger21> hi, what would be the way to modify the power management preferences without having the power manegement preferences windows, is there a file i can edit or a comand lien ?
[04:09] <Guest> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d379875e1
[04:09] <Safeway> is there a way i can remove kubuntu from startup?
[04:09] <mgolisch> roger21: try gconf, gnome-power-manager should store its settings there
[04:09] <mMezquitale> Safeway, you mean you dont want to see them in the menu?
[04:09] <mazda01> anyone tell me how to convert a png to a svg?
[04:09] <Guest> mgolisch: that should be it
[04:09] <mgolisch> roger21: there stuff like gconf-editor and gconf-tool for cmdline
[04:09] <Guest> mgolisch: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d379875e1
[04:09] <mrcode> tonsofpcs: you there?
[04:10] <arghh2d2> mazda01: can probly do it in gimp
[04:10] <roger21> mgolisch, ok thx illtry that
[04:10] <Safeway> when i startup it shows kubuntu. sted of ubutnu
[04:10] <Guest> dang it my aid has abandoned me
[04:10] <mMezquitale> Safeway, so what you want to do is change the splash then??
[04:10] <arghh2d2> Safeway: you mean the splash screen
[04:10] <mazda01> arghh2d2, i just opened a svg file, did some changes and then when I went to save it, there was no extension in gimp to save it as a svg
[04:10] <mMezquitale> !splash
[04:10] <mazda01> let me look again
[04:10] <Safeway> I guess, or remove it back to the original state.
[04:10] <arghh2d2> mazda01: try exporting it?
[04:11] <mMezquitale> !splash > Safeway
[04:11] <mazda01> arghh2d2, will do
[04:11] <Safeway> and also get rid of edubuntu, when i boot up.
[04:11] <Safeway> ok
[04:11] <mgolisch> Guest: no the question would be why it failes, something in that script failes for some reason
[04:11] <mOrO^> How can I make a change in a file, through my file manager .... it is read only, and doesnt ask for my password?
[04:12] <mazda01> arghh2d2,  don't see export in gimp 2.6
[04:12] <mgolisch> mOrO^: what file is it?
[04:12] <mazda01> arghh2d2, i see save a copy, or save. then when I look at file extensions, there's no svg. is it a plugin?
[04:12] <mOrO^> mgolisch, timidity
[04:12] <arghh2d2> mazda01: sorry, that all i can suggest..im not a big graphics guy
[04:13] <mgolisch> mOrO^: usualy you dont have write permissions to files outside of your homedirectory
[04:13] <mgolisch> you could start a texteditor using gksu to edit the file with root permissions
[04:14] <mOrO^> mgolisch, it is in filesystem/etc/default
[04:14] <mazda01> arghh2d2, just read on google, to use inkscape
[04:15] <mazda01> arghh2d2, FYI
[04:15] <mgolisch> mOrO^: yeah only the root user has write permissions on /etc/ youd want to start gedit using gksu like so: gksu gedit /path/to/file from a terminal
[04:15] <jolaren> Snausages; thinking I want to boot this ubuntu minimal from alot of different computers.. i should run the x86 version instead of the x64, rite?
[04:15] <mOrO^> mgolisch, yes... x86
[04:16] <mOrO^> mgolisch, ok...let me try that.
[04:16] <mazda01> arghh2d2, i love open source, i just google for answer, then go to synaptic, install it, use it. window's i'd have to pay 19.99 for some shareware garbage that's probably filled with spyware and malware
[04:16] <thevishy> hi all
[04:16] <mgolisch> jolaren: yeah unless you are sure all computers you want to use it with support 64bit
[04:16] <thevishy> can I convert to m4v using ffmpeg ?
[04:17] <mgolisch> thevishy: convert what?
[04:17] <joshua__> you mean that Commodore 64?
[04:17] <jolaren> thats what i thought to :P
[04:17] <merlin2049er> what happened to freecell
[04:17] <mazda01> anyone else use cairo-dock?
[04:17] <mOrO^> mgolisch, Great... Im cool now...thanks
[04:17] <thevishy> quicktime I guess
[04:17] <mgolisch> thevishy: ffmpeg can encode most video codecs
[04:17] <thevishy> from some mov format
[04:18] <thevishy> ok I want to convert , can u tell how
[04:18] <mgolisch> man ffmpeg ? :)
[04:18] <mazda01> is it normal for a maximzed window to stop at the top of the dock? i lose like almost 2 inches of screen space. i could enable auto-hide i suppose
[04:18] <arghh2d2> mazda01: yep...its fun...\
[04:18] <mgolisch> or use some frontend
[04:18] <mgolisch> like super,avidemux or handbrake
[04:18] <thevishy> any front ends known ? man ffmpeg will make me late for work :)
[04:19] <mazda01> arghh2d2, got, behavior. auto hide dock when maximized window
[04:19] <mazda01> arghh2d2, man, cairo-dock has just about everything!
[04:19] <ghost> How do I use ffmpeg to convert my mp4 to a mp2
[04:19] <thevishy> !ffmpeg
[04:19] <arghh2d2> mazda01: what is a dock?
[04:20] <Guest66778> thevishy: do you know?
[04:20] <acespiker> season's greetings
[04:20] <centHOGG> hh
[04:20] <thevishy> what ? Guest66778
[04:20] <Guest66778> ffmpeg
[04:20] <thevishy> oh ok trying
[04:20] <Guest66778> How do you convert an mpg4 to mpg2
[04:20] <Guest66778> ?
[04:21] <thevishy> mgolisch, if I do something like ffmpeg -i ... it will retain the source file nah
[04:21] <mgolisch> thevishy: the source will be untouched
[04:21] <thevishy> mgolisch, can I do something like ffmpeg for a full folder ?
[04:21] <mazda01> arghh2d2, can you type something to me and puot my name in front so I can see if xchat jumps around when xchat is minimized to cairo? please
[04:22] <ethereality> Is there a program that "crops" audio files? I'd like to edit some recordings in terms of length, possibly cut out middle pieces, etc.
[04:22] <islington> what is the command to launch things in the system tray?
[04:22] <islington> mazda01: did it work?
[04:22] <teraboy> ethereality, audacity perhaps?
[04:22] <skreech> Hello
[04:22] <skreech> Does yahoo work in Pidgin for LTS?
[04:23] <mazda01> islington, AWESOME. it spins around and does all crazy stuff. this cairo-dock is super cool with an nvidia card and compiz!!!
[04:23] <ethereality> teraboy: I'll check into it, thanks, but I thought it was music playback software like Rhythmbox
[04:23] <mgolisch> thevishy: yeah you can use a loop and call ffmpeg on a number of files, but youll probably have to experiemt a bit until you useable results
[04:23] <mgolisch> +get
[04:23] <chun> Hi -- anyone know if I can run the ubuntu installer from within a current ubuntu setup?
[04:23] <mgolisch> video encoding can be quite frustrating
[04:23] <mgolisch> :)
[04:23] <chun> so as not to have to bother booting from the live cd
[04:23] <teraboy> ethereality, nope, more of an editor : http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
[04:24] <ethereality> cool, thanks!
[04:24] <mazda01> now the bad part though. vlc isn't working since I enabled compiz. when I open a dvd, the vlc window just has a border and the desktop background in the middle of it. NO MOVIE! darn it.
[04:24] <mgolisch> mazda01: disable compiz?
[04:24] <mgolisch> :)=
[04:24] <islington> what is the command to launch things in the system tray?
[04:25] <oorah> how do i register my nickname?
[04:25] <islington> oorah: msg Nickserv
[04:25] <mMezquitale> oorah, go to #freenode and ask
[04:25] <mazda01> another weird issue is that another cairo-dock will pop up out of no where??? so right now there are 2 running and it's all screwed up. i ahve pgrep it, then kil one. why does another dock one pop up when I didn't tell it to?
[04:25] <oorah> msg Nickserv
[04:25] <oorah> ? didn't work
[04:25] <scunizi> islington: that's two seperate things.. launch is one. systray is another.. the app has to have a systray component to do that
[04:27] <islington> scunizi: what I mean is that there is a command like "command programcommand" that will lauch the programcommand, and will minimize to an icon in the system tray

[05:31] <j9xinca> Hey can someone help me, i am trying to instal UNR 9.10. When i try to install to harddisk it goes through a lot, then shows the gui, then goes back to command line, and dumps a LOT of SQUASHFS errors. trying to sudo su also dumps errors all over
[05:31] <Firefishe> Burning_Aces:  What were you trying to send me?
[05:33] <MatBee> thats a DCC explpoit
[05:33] <unop> FAJALOU,  pm-suspend  # but it isn't the command used when suspending

[05:33] <wotsolatsod731> Hello all :) Does anyone know of a good link on how to install WOW on 9.10
[05:33] <j9xinca> Does anyone know how to fix the problem with netbook remix 9.10?
[05:33] <sanzky> anyone knows how to configure ubuntu to do nothing when the battery power gets very low?
[05:33] <FAJALOU> unop:  when i put that in, it ways that it must be run as root, but i don't have to press the button on gnome-panel as root?
[05:33] <unop> sanzky,  why would you ever want to change that behaviour, it's a good thing is it not?
[05:34] <unop> FAJALOU, like i said, it isn't the command used in suspending
[05:34] <FAJALOU> unop:  that one works, so do you know what the command is actually?
[05:34] <hiatus> Sanzky: just go into powersaving options and pick do nothing when battery power is low
[05:34] <j9xinca> Netbook remix 9.10, is throwing a lot of SQUASHFS errors when i boot it from USB. Anyone know why? trying to install to harddisk and cant
[05:35] <unop> FAJALOU, the gnome-power-manager (or equivalent) and acpi handle it using system calls, etc - no commands really used in the process
[05:35] <j9xinca> im guessing maybe i should just go to slackware. Not so many problems like ubuntu
[05:35] <wotsolatsod731> No? Yes? Head for the mountains! nothing?
[05:35] <hiatus> J9xinca: sounds like you installed to usb baddly, I would use a regular ubuntu install anyway
[05:35] <FAJALOU> unop:  what?  can you tell me what/where i can look to see what command occurs when i press that button
[05:36] <sanzky> unop, mi battery sensor is screwed, the battey can give about 15 min, but if I disconnect the AC for 10 seconds it will hibernate, quite annoying
[05:36] <sanzky> hiatus, there is no such option in karmic, just hibernate, suspend and shut down
[05:36] <unop> FAJALOU, what's unclear about my language? i said no commands are used
[05:37] <FAJALOU> unop:  how can no commands be used?!  Last time it was gnome-pwr-cmd, but that is no longer available?
[05:37] <FAJALOU> and so then how would I go about setting up a key combo to send to suspend.
[05:37] <wotsolatsod731> I did the wine thing already but there is a second process that I am missing.
[05:37] <unop> FAJALOU, maybe you need to define 'commands'. do you mean shell commands or API calls?
[05:38] <FAJALOU> unop:  lol.  what  i want to do is link a key combination to a command, or api call, so my computer suspends.
[05:38] <abhilashm86> in virtualbox sound is playing, but in ubuntu 9.10 no sound, please help
[05:38] <hiatus> Sanzky: perhaps you could disable power saving at startup and that would solve your problem
[05:38] <j9xinca> anyone else know ANYTHING about the squashfs errors when booting Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 its hella annoying
[05:39] <alvaro> some peopel can write
[05:39] <alvaro> how to install decoders for totem
[05:40] <unop> FAJALOU, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=813387&page=2
[05:40] <wotsolatsod731> Yeah I did that but the steps seem to target certain versions. Thank you anyway
[05:40] <unop> !shortcuts | FAJALOU and this too -
[05:40] <alvaro> thank you vm.
[05:40] <FAJALOU> unop: as the forums says; the shortcut isn't working...
[05:41] <wotsolatsod731> Ty
[05:41] <j9xinca> IS there a UNR channel for netbook? i need some help
[05:42] <switch10_> FAJALOU: if you scroll down several posts you will find it
[05:42] <Snausages> j9xinca: this channel is close enough, just ask your question
[05:42] <unop> FAJALOU, but this guy claims it does - http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8309702&postcount=16
[05:42] <FAJALOU> unop:  right yah lowre down.  how does the gui suspend w/o a command/sudo pw?
[05:43] <sanzky> hiatus, that would be laptop-mode, isnt it?
[05:43] <Snausages> j9xinca: ah, I see it in the scrollback now.  Sorry, dunno anything about it myself...  I use unr all the time, have never seen that
[05:43] <unop> FAJALOU, he uses the DBUS command line interface to send DBUS messages to the power manager - not really a command per se and it doesn't require root/sudo privileges
[05:44] <FAJALOU> unop:  is there a way to bind my command to that?
[05:44] <j9xinca> Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10: PROBLEM: when booting from USB stick (the iso is good and setup correctly on USB), i can boot from stick and it works, but commands dont work right like sudo or su just throws SQUASHFS errors. Im trying to install to harddrive, when i boot and select install to harddrive it goes through startup, then quits the ubuntu GUI, goes to a command line, and throws more SQUASHFS errors.
[05:45] <unop> FAJALOU, yea, the code is for a shell script, copy it into a text file, save it, make it executable and then call it passing the appropriate argument/parameter i.e. 'suspend' or 'hibernate'
[05:45] <FAJALOU> unop:  haha. ohk :)
[05:45] <hiatus> Sanzky: if you go to systems > preferences > startup applications you can uncheckmark power management which will disable all power saving options
[05:45] <Firefishe> I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.  I would like to know how to set up the boot parameters so that I have only the standard terminal message bootup screen, without the splash screen.  Either that, or the splash screen with the bootup output below the Ubuntu logo.
[05:45] <hiatus> At startup
[05:46] <MatBee> howcome i cant get flash to play in firefox?
[05:46] <MatBee> Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.
[05:46] <j9xinca> what about Bus error (core dumped) in UNR? anyone
[05:46] <MatBee> ive installed the restricted extras, and even tried adobe-flashplugin, AND the one from adobe's website
[05:46] <sanzky> thanks hiatus
[05:47] <hiatus> Sanzky: its probably the easiest way to get what your trying to accomplish. Anything else would be a bit of a hassle that I can think of
[05:47] <FAJALOU> unop:  YES! thanks!
[05:47] <Firefishe> MatBee: You could try an older version of Firefox, like the 3.0.14 version
[05:47] <petsounds> j9xinca, just curious, how do you create the bootable usb?
[05:47] <FAJALOU> unop:  i am also having issues with notifications in empathy?
[05:48] <Snausages> j9xinca: the combination of those two errors makes me curious...  have you put this netbook through a ram test?
[05:49] <FAJALOU> unop:  where are custom keybindings saved?  i am still getting an error that gnome-pwr-cmd cannot be found :(
[05:50] <petsounds> j9xinca, i guess if you can boot unr and using it as live session there's an Install icon on desktop.
[05:51] <FAJALOU> hmmm interesting...
