[00:00] <|Night_Elf|> Moral_: does that happen when you fo to 'safe mode' or single user ?
[00:00] <azolap> does booting from cd use the hard drive? if i get DRDY ERR when trying to boot from the ubuntu livecd is there anything else i can do to recover files on the hard disk ?
[00:00] <|Night_Elf|> go*
[00:00] <LjL> DjDark: opinions channel?
[00:00] <onetinsoldier> DjDark: ubuntu-offtopic
[00:00] <onetinsoldier> probably
[00:00] <Moral_> |Night_Elf|, I havent tried yet, I'm going to reboot now and do that.
[00:00] <quark2> Enter text here...greetings, i have a ubuntu live question involving hfs+ parition
[00:00] <linuxmonster> DjDark,  #wedontcare lol
[00:00] <DjDark> offtopic :) ty
[00:00] <DjDark> lol
[00:00] <onetinsoldier> yw
[00:00] <|Night_Elf|> Moral_: it could be some driver. It's a guess though
[00:01] <q0s> why can't i hide partitions with a udev rule anymore?
[00:01] <sakis> ubunto mania
[00:01] <quark2> When i go to disk manager the mac hard drive shows up, also in gparted it shows up and even shows that sdb2 is hfs+ but in devices it only shows sdb1 and sdb no sdb2 when i try mount /dev/sdb2 says device cannot be found
[00:01] <|Night_Elf|> so. Now that 10.04 doesn't have PCSX, what remains to use as a playstation emulator ?
[00:02] <LjL> |Night_Elf|, it's quite likely that you could manually install the package from an older version (not guaranteed, just likely), though
[00:02] <|Night_Elf|> I have run ePCSXe for windows via wine, but it was unstable
[00:02] <linuxmonster> |Night_Elf|,  google I think maybe your best friend
[00:02] <|Night_Elf|> ePSXe was it called i think
[00:02] <quark2> anyone have any ideas on this mount issue?
[00:03] <Moral_> |Night_Elf|, Recovery mode into "normal boot" seems to be working, Ill take a loot at dmesg and var/logs etc
[00:03] <Guest1> hello, can some1 plz help me????
[00:03] <Moral_> Guest1, what's your question.
[00:04] <|Night_Elf|> Moral_: yea do that. And see what fails. Ask around how to disable the splash screen too so you will see the boot messages as they happeen
[00:04] <Guest1> When i attempt to stream video on sites like hulu.com , my system all of a sudden shuts down
[00:04] <|Night_Elf|> Moral_: and see what's the last line that hangs (you can see the Debian in me .... )
[00:04] <Moral_> |Night_Elf|, yeah, gonna remove the splash screen now. Thanks for the help.
[00:04] <aussie114> |Night_Elf|: http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/psx/ this page lists PS1 emus
[00:04] <Moral_> Guest1, it could be over heating
[00:04] <linuxmonster> you in the USA Guest1 ? I know in canada unless u want to use a proxy I cant even get a thing from hulu
[00:04] <Moral_> Guest1, take a look at /var/log/messages
[00:05] <linuxmonster> which really sucks
[00:05] <|Night_Elf|> aussie114: LjL: linuxmonster: thanks for the help with PSX emus guys. But i really love those games :)
[00:05] <Guest1> yes monster i m in us
[00:05] <merma> how do I add the audio volume slider in the gnome panel? I tried adding an applet but it isn't there :/
[00:05] <Guest1> moral, it only shuts down when i stream video
[00:06] <Moral_> merma, gnome-volume-control &
[00:06] <Moral_> should start it up
[00:06] <Guest1> i do feel the heat from dual core processor but it runs ok. it shuts down 5 minutes after i stream video
[00:06] <merma> aight
[00:06] <quark2> anyone know how to solve this mount issue...under gparted drive shows up with a partition of HFS+ file type in sdb2 but in dev it is not there and i cannot mount it using mount /dev/sdb2...any way to repair the partition table and mount this thing? w.o loosing data
[00:06] <Moral_> HFS what OS uses that?
[00:07] <mbrproblem10>  henkpostma: so the command would be "dd if=Home/Desktop/mbr/mbr.bin of=dev/sda"   is that correct?
[00:07] <wildbat> quark2, try testdisk
[00:07] <scottj> How does one enable/disable an external monitor on laptop+nvidia via command line? (tired of launching nvidia config GUI every time I plugin an external monitor)
[00:08] <quark2> Mac OS
[00:08] <mbrproblem10> just be careful with testdisk!
[00:08] <merma> Moral_, it opens the sound settings window, not the applet :/
[00:08] <Moral_> merma, yeah once I told you that I remembered that.
[00:08] <Moral_> merma, gimme 1 sec to type it up.
[00:08] <merma> k
[00:09] <kewlioo> can someone help me with connecting to my windows netshares
[00:09] <Dizkonnekted> hello room, im using 9.10, ive had a look through the forums and tried some suggestions there and found that enabling KMS solved my ATI RADEON 9200 (pci) problem i was having, but then it stopped working for no apparent reason, anyone able to help?
[00:09] <Moral_> merma, you using 9.10?
[00:09] <merma> Moral_, 10.04
[00:09] <linuxmonster> Okay Plauyoffs are strting, Have a wonderfull weekend everyone
[00:09] <Moral_> merma, k 1 sec
[00:09] <mbrproblem10> henkpostma:  ?
[00:09] <q0s> why can't i hide partitions with a udev rule anymore in lucid?
[00:09] <azolap> does booting from cd use the hard drive? if i get DRDY ERR when trying to boot from the ubuntu livecd is there anything else i can do to recover files on the hard disk ?
[00:09] <Theravadan> update-rc.d postgresql-8.4 defaults gives me "System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 already exist" yet postgres doesnt start when I boot up
[00:10] <toolbear> i've been getting "unable to copy .Xauthority" problems, and i checked my home directory, and i don't even have this file at all (yep, "show hidden files" is turned on).  now what?
[00:10] <Moral_> Dizkonnekted, sounds like driver issues, ATI linux drivers suck.
[00:10] <Moral_> merma, usually, you just right click "add to panel" then go to sound, but I dont see it either.... lemme search around a bit
[00:11] <Theravadan> nvm that's why: his error usually means that PostgreSQL's request for a shared memory segment exceeded your kernel's SHMMAX parameter.   .. d'oh, gonna tune postgres down
[00:11] <merma> yeah I know it's odd
[00:11] <quark2> anyone?
[00:11] <Dizkonnekted> Moral_ , agreed, but its all i have my nvidia went down :|
[00:11] <Moral_> Dizkonnekted, so what's exactly happening?
[00:11] <matthewfl> how can I make a Bluetooth device look like a serial device
[00:12] <merma> Moral_, i think it's gnome-volume-control-applet
[00:12] <Moral_> merma, yea im searching for it, I tried gnome-volume-applet
[00:12] <NET||abuse> hm, trying to get an old game to run on my laptop, x-com apoc, awsome classic... anyway,, wine is no joy as i'm on 64bit, dosbox seems to be the recomended method,, never done this before,, anyone know where to start with it?
[00:12] <Moral_> merma, that's correct
[00:12] <NET||abuse> i installed dosbox from repos
[00:12] <wildbat> mbrproblem10, yes ~ may sure you have backup of your current mbr.
[00:12] <NET||abuse> what do i do to run the game / installer?
[00:13] <Moral_> merma, if you run that command does it open ?
[00:13] <henkpostma> mbrproblem10: if that's the path to your backup, then yes, that's the right command
[00:13] <merma> Moral_, no, I had to do /usr/bin/gnome-volume-control-applet
[00:13] <mbrproblem10> wildbat: I will give it a shot.
[00:13] <kewlioo> Can someone help me...Ubuntu 10.04's network shows the windows network, then I can click the home and it shows the other computers on the network, but however I then try to click on one of the computers to access the Netshres and get this error: Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server
[00:13] <Dizkonnekted> Moral_, if i enable compiz and try rotating the cube my screen blacks out, xorg will randomly spike processor usage as well, even at idle
[00:13] <henkpostma> mbrproblem10: if it's not, dd will complain presumably
[00:13] <Moral_> merma, you didn't just type it into a terminal?
[00:13] <Moral_> Dizkonnekted, hmm
[00:13] <merma> Moral_, alt+f2
[00:14] <Moral_> Dizkonnekted, That's over my head.  Try asking on the forums, I am sorry.
[00:14] <matthewfl> anyone know how to get a Bluetooth device to register as a serial device
[00:14] <Moral_> merma, what you can do is start a terminal, type screen, then run the gnome-volume-control-applet   command then close the terminal and it will stay
[00:14] <Dizkonnekted> Moral_, no problems, thanks anyway - ill ask in channel again in a while
[00:14] <Moral_> Dizkonnekted, good idea.
[00:15] <merma> Moral_, cool didn't know about screen
[00:15] <velociostrich> I asked this awhile ago but didn't get a response, so here goes again: I'm using gnome and my menus are all messed up; when I try to add an item to a menu, it appears under _another_ menu as well, and if I delete the occurrence under the other menu, they both disappear. How can I fix this or re-configure my menus or something?
[00:15] <Moral_> merma, screen is super useful!
[00:15] <quark2> ok so in gparted i see /dev/sdb2 as an hfs+, mount command says it doesnt exist, any ideas?
[00:15] <Moral_> merma, you can run "man screen" to read more about it, if you'd like.
[00:15] <pietro10> Hi. How do  get Ubuntu (Wubi) to detect an external monitor connected on a laptop dock? It's not showing up in Mnitor Preferences.
[00:15] <NewWorld> velociostrich:  If you don't get a response again you should post in the forums
[00:16] <velociostrich> NewWorld: I might try that, but first I think I might try just re-installing whatever package handles the menus
[00:16] <NewWorld> Lol the GNOME package?
[00:16] <Moral_> pietro10, when I run video from my comp through HDMI to my TV i had to restart my computer.
[00:17] <pietro10> yeah here's the thing
[00:17] <|Night_Elf|> LjL: another thing I notice is that after installing the nVidia proprietary drivers in 10.04, the alternative mouse pointers don't work for me. It always remains the default one.
[00:17] <pietro10> when I have the laptop closed
[00:17] <onetinsoldier> the is a package simply called 'menu'
[00:17] <pietro10> it turns off the display AND the master display
[00:17] <pietro10> so I have to force the laptop to shut off
[00:17] <zeleftikam> my floppy disk problem... fd0: input/output error
[00:17] <kewlioo> Can someone help me...Ubuntu 10.04's network shows the windows network, then I can click the home and it shows the other computers on the network, but however I then try to click on one of the computers to access the Netshares and get this error: Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server
[00:17] <zeleftikam> it's possible that my drive is bad, i've never used it before, how can i know?
[00:17] <kewlioo> can someone please help me
[00:17] <Dizkonnekted> |Night_Elf|, in order for new mouse pointers to show up, ive often had t log out and back in again
[00:18] <faron1> is there a way to open a tab that you have open in another window,in another window ? ?
[00:18] <Moral_> kewlioo, You should get samba
[00:18] <|Night_Elf|> Dizkonnekted: oh, I'll try that then. Thanks for the hint. doing that now
[00:18] <BluesKaj> kewlioo, I  asked you over at #kubuntu
[00:18] <onetinsoldier> zeleftikam: you'd have to run smartmontools
[00:19] <Moral_> pietro10, I know in the power management settings you can change what happens when the screen is closed, you might want to mess with those.
[00:19] <Alloeishus> Im new to Ubunto but not Nix. I have found the terminal program but it doesnt run as root. I am used to _not_ having to type sudo for root commands, where is the 'root terminal' in Ubuntu?
[00:19] <Dizkonnekted> |Night_Elf|, no problem, hope it helps, it doesnt happen in real time like the rest of the theming options lol
[00:19] <BluesKaj> kewlioo, install smbclient
[00:19] <Moral_> Alloeishus, you can do sudo su, or sudo -i
[00:19] <onetinsoldier> velociostrich: don't know if it would help you or not, but there is a package simply called 'menu'
[00:19] <pietro10> Moral_: no I mean when I start it up with the laptop screen closed
[00:20] <pietro10> the dock will set the display to the external one
[00:20] <Alloeishus> Moral awesome worked like a charm. Thanks
[00:20] <Punza81> Hi all, I'm in need of assistance
[00:20] <Moral_> Alloeishus, anytime.
[00:20] <pietro10> I choose ubuntu in grub, it flashes for a bit, and then both screens die
[00:20] <Moral_> Panza shoot.
[00:20] <azolap> does booting from cd use the hard drive? if i get DRDY ERR when trying to boot from the ubuntu livecd is there anything else i can do to recover files on the hard disk ?
[00:20] <|Night_Elf|> Dizkonnekted: it has always been in realtime for me before. Just with 10.04 I'm having it. Anyway, logging out and back in soon
[00:20] <velociostrich> onetinsoldier: I might try that, thanks
[00:21] <Moral_> pietro10, sounds like it's dying right when X starts.  You can ask on the forum or hang around here and ask later and see if anyone else can assit you.
[00:21] <Punza81> I have a pc with ubuntu linux on it.
[00:21] <NewWorld> azolap:  I remember successfully running Ubuntu LiveCD on a machine with no  HDD
[00:21] <onetinsoldier> velociostrich: you're welcome
[00:21] <pietro10> eh
[00:21] <ralas> zeleftikam: yes run smartmontools.  smartctl -a /dev/sd[]  it is totally possible that a brand new drive is faulty.
[00:21] <Punza81> and I have purchased an asus pce-n13 pci-express adaptor
[00:21] <kewlioo> Can someone help me...Ubuntu 10.04's network shows the windows network, then I can click the home and it shows the other computers on the network, but however I then try to click on one of the computers to access the Netshres and get this error: Unable to mount location - Failed to retrieve share list from server
[00:21] <NewWorld> Punza81:  Keep to one line
[00:21] <velociostrich> onetinsoldier: ah, that's not it; 'menu' is for creating menus for other window managers
[00:21] <BitEncrypt> what does this mean...You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[00:22] <Punza81> and it does come with a driver
[00:22] <velociostrich> onetinsoldier: it's alacarte that edits the menus; I might try looking for configuration files
[00:22] <Punza81> but I have never installed a driver
[00:22] <NewWorld> !enter | Punza81
[00:22] <onetinsoldier> velociostrich: oh, roger. well, i thought it perhaps was worth a look
[00:22] <Punza81> sorry
[00:22] <azolap> NewWorld .. on the ubuntu installation disk i am choosing "Run ubuntu with no changes to your computer" .. is this the correct option for livecd ?
[00:23] <onetinsoldier> azolap: yes
[00:23] <NewWorld> azolap:  Yeh, that sounds right
[00:23] <Dizkonnekted> azolap,  yes
[00:23] <Moral_> Punza81, most websites that have drivers for linux will tell you how to install it, or it will automatically install it.
[00:23] <velociostrich> onetinsoldier: I found a section in the GNOME System Administration Guide on menus that looks promising... thanks for the help anyways
[00:23] <azolap> ok well then why is it giving me DRDY ERR if it doesn't use the hard disk?
[00:23] <azolap> when i try to run the livecd
[00:23] <velociostrich> azolap: "run ubuntu with no changes to your computer" just doesn't install it
[00:23] <onetinsoldier> velociostrich: roger that. good luck!
[00:23] <velociostrich> so you can use it, but it won't change what's on your harddrive
[00:23] <Punza81> do you mind pointing me in the right direction
[00:23] <BitEncrypt> what does this mean...You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[00:24] <pietro10> okay here's another question
[00:24] <azolap> but if it doesn't neeed to use my hard drive why is it giving me DRDY ERR ?
[00:24] <daniel32708> Hello!  Do you guys know of a program for Ubuntu which can put a logo (authors name,etc) in pictures? I can do it with gimp but manually, pic by pic,  is there anything to do it automatically in a folder filled with photos?  thx!
[00:24] <pietro10> I'm in Network Settings > Wireless, but when I hit New I have to enter stuff
[00:24] <NET||abuse> wow, ok that was easier than i thought.
[00:24] <Dizkonnekted> azolap,  can you use the cd to boot another pc?
[00:24] <pietro10> Is there an autodetect button or something?
[00:24] <pietro10> this is a Dell Precision M6400
[00:24] <velociostrich> azolap: if you want to install, there's a tool to do that
[00:24] <henkpostma> daniel32708: imagemagick and the program 'convert' that comes with it
[00:24] <pietro10> and I have an AirPort built into my iMac for wireless networks
[00:24] <q0s> why can't i hide partitions with a udev rule anymore in lucid?
[00:24] <velociostrich> Punza81: it would've helped to say that it was a wireless networking adapter :)
[00:25] <velociostrich> Punza81: I had to google it
[00:25] <faron1> I have a tab open in one set of tabs within one window & I would like to open that same tab {all by itself} within another window without having to do copy & paste.Does anybody know if there is a shortcut {keyboard command} for this ??
[00:25] <Moral_> BitEncrypt, it means you have a nivida card and you're not using the nivida driver. It wants you to edit your X config so You can add the nivida driver then It wants you to restart X. X is your GUI.
[00:25] <velociostrich> Punza81: is your problem that it doesn't work?
[00:25] <|Night_Elf|> ok. The mouse pointer works ok when disabling desktop effects and setting them to None. The other two options, Norm<
[00:25] <azolap> Dizkonnekted yes i can use this cd to boot another pc but not my laptop which is messed up. i just want to recover the files on the hdd by booting into livecd or something
[00:25] <|Night_Elf|> ok. The mouse pointer works ok when disabling desktop effects and setting them to None. The other two options, Normal and Extra, dont work
[00:25] <azolap> velociostrich no i don't want to install ubuntu,i already have it installed but i can't boot it. i also can't boot the livecd
[00:26] <matthewfl> I need some help getting a Bluetooth device to register as a serial device
[00:26] <BitEncrypt> how would i do this
[00:26] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, be sure your laptop is actually booting from the cd, check the boot options
[00:26] <velociostrich> azolap: as for not being able to boot to the livecd, you could go into your bios and set the boot order
[00:26] <zeleftikam> for all you RAID people: Can I pull a RAID5 disk out while Ubuntu is running and be fine? LSI MegaRAID SCSIU320
[00:26] <acerimmer_> gopa: private?
[00:26] <daniel32708> henkpostma: thx friend!
[00:26] <Punza81> velociostric: have struggled to do this re this wireless card
[00:27] <velociostrich> azolap: that is, you have to specify for your comp to try booting from a cd before your HD
[00:27] <azolap> Dizkonnekted  but it gives me the cd menu.. i.e "Run without changes to computer" "Boot from first disk" etc so it must be loading from the cd
[00:27] <Punza81> eg. I was on www.linux-drivers.org
[00:27] <|Night_Elf|> It was metioned elsewhere too that for some reason, the combination compiz/ubuntu10.04/nvidia  chokes sometimes for small things.
[00:27] <azolap> velociostrich CD is set as my first boot option
[00:27] <Moral_> zeleftikam, I believe so, you can hot swap, but I would get a second opinion.
[00:27] <velociostrich> Punza81: that might not have been a good purchase; I really don't know if you could even get it to work
[00:27] <velociostrich> azolap: I don't know what to say then
[00:27] <switch10_> zeleftikam: yes, but it is tricky to refresh the drives.  I have to log out and log back in...
[00:27] <azolap> :(
[00:27] <Punza81> and typed in my model name. No deal
[00:28] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, and its only after this menu appears your getting the notice about the hdd? or just before?
[00:28] <velociostrich> Punza81: that is, there's a lot of RTL818x-based cards that have support in the kernel
[00:28] <zeleftikam> Moral_>> switch10_ >> yeah I don't want to corrupt the fs or crash the drive
[00:28] <zeleftikam> but i would like to simulate a filure
[00:28] <zeleftikam> failure
[00:29] <velociostrich> Punza81: actually, I just googled for your card and it says that there is a driver on the CD
[00:29] <onetinsoldier> |Night_Elf|: do the compositing and 3d effects work ok when you enable them? is this just a problem with your mouse cursor only when they're enabled?
[00:29] <velociostrich> Punza81: try looking for it
[00:29] <Moral_> zeleftikam, I don't really feel safe telling you to go ahead and do it, You should ask on the forums.
[00:29] <|Night_Elf|> zeleftikam: I have tried pulling out one disk out of two in a DL380 with raid1 mirroring. All went fine. Haven't tried in raid5
[00:29] <zeleftikam> i think i'm going to try it
[00:29] <zeleftikam> i have backups
[00:29] <switch10_> zeleftikam: I use it for testing/wiping drives only.
[00:30] <|Night_Elf|> onetinsoldier: the effects work all right, as far as i can see. But the mouse pointer just doesn't
[00:30] <azolap> Dizkonnekted it's only after the menu has appeared and after i have selected "try ubuntu without any changes to your computer" .. after i choose this option i gett he ubuntu loading screen for a minute or so, then a black screen with a load of DRDY ERR errors
[00:30] <zeleftikam> here it goes!
[00:30] <Punza81> There is, I just don't have confidence to install it.
[00:30] <Punza81> using the console
[00:30] <velociostrich> Punza81: do you know how to navigate the filesystem using the console?
[00:30] <|Night_Elf|> i hope we don't see now zeleftikam: connection timed out
[00:31] <Punza81> yes I do
[00:31] <velociostrich> Punza81: moreover, what file extension does the file have on the CD?
[00:31] <onetinsoldier> |Night_Elf|: perhaps you need to enable Software mouse cursor for Xorg (x-windows). it's some kind of option you have to put to xorg.conf file i think
[00:31] <velociostrich> Punza81: if it's a .run file, then you probably just have to 'cd' to wherever the cd is and type './driver.run' or w/e it's called
[00:31] <|Night_Elf|> onetinsoldier: does ubuntu have an xorg.conf ? To what i know, it doesn't
[00:32] <Punza81> on the cd it's a tgz file
[00:32] <onetinsoldier> |Night_Elf|: it will if you've installed and enabled the proprietary nvidia driver
[00:32] <velociostrich> Punza81: for that, you'll have to copy it to your harddrive and extract it
[00:32] <velociostrich> Punza81: you can just do that in the file browser
[00:33] <Punza81> done, extracted on desktop
[00:33] <velociostrich> Punza81: what was in it?
[00:33] <zeleftikam> i pulled out one of three disks in a RAID 5 array on my server, it did not crash and everything appeared to go on working as if nothing happened. the RAID card sounded a loud-ass alarm though, haha. NOW YOU KNOW!!
[00:33] <onetinsoldier> |Night_Elf|: see if you have the file --> ls -l /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:33] <|Night_Elf|> onetinsoldier: i see it. An extremely small and basic one. Ok i'll do some searching now. thanks for this
[00:33] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, can i assume that your HDD is not bootable at all, or it boots just fine
[00:33] <onetinsoldier> |Night_Elf|: sure. good luck
[00:33] <Guest41938> Ubuntu 9.10 usb question:  how can the automounter be configured to mount USB flash drives read-write?  All USB flash drives appear to be mounted as read-only filesystems.  I've tried the same flash drive on a Mac and PC and it is read-write.
[00:34] <Punza81> I have changed directory into the folder
[00:34] <velociostrich> Punza81: yes, but what's in it? type 'ls' (without the quotes)
[00:34] <Punza81> there are the files.. eg makefile
[00:34] <velociostrich> Punza81: oh, well then you'll have to compile it
[00:34] <azolap> Dizkonnekted no you see i dropped the laptop a couple of days ago. after i dropped it it worked fine for a few hours (i was on windows at the time) and so i assumed it was OK. then the next day i tried to start up the laptop and couldn't boot either windows or ubuntu
[00:34] <velociostrich> Punza81: there should be a file that says like "INSTALL" or something; you can read that for specific instructions
[00:35] <Punza81> I've never successfully compiled anything in my life
[00:35] <velociostrich> Punza81: well I'll help you out
[00:35] <azolap> will running "check disc for defects" help ?
[00:35] <Punza81> please! :)
[00:35] <velociostrich> Punza81: start by reading the INSTALL file (if there is one)
[00:35] <velociostrich> Punza81: it should be just as easy as typing './configure' then 'make' then 'sudo make install', but it might not be
[00:35] <Punza81> there is a file amed Readme_STA
[00:35] <velociostrich> read that
[00:35] <daemonTW> it's pretty easy Punza81
[00:36] <callowayj> has anyone every installed Lotus Notes on Ubuntu?
[00:36] <Punza81> for me it's rocket science :)
[00:36] <velociostrich> Punza81: you'll probably have to install some development headers from the package manager
[00:36] <VanCiper> hello
[00:37] <rovar> hey all, I have a rather interesting question...  I set up a usb key to install  desktop-amd64.  I can start the installer just fine but when it gets to "scan hard drives for an installer ISO image"  it fails saying it can't read from my cdrom
[00:37] <VanCiper> Does anyone know how to change the login screen for ubuntu lucid
[00:37] <rovar> i can open the shell... and the iso I want is  in /hd-media
[00:37] <q0s> why can't i hide partitions with a udev rule anymore in lucid?
[00:37] <rovar> but I can't convince the installer to look there.. any ideas?
[00:37] <Punza81> ok which ones
[00:37] <daemonTW> rovar, try mounting the iso image
[00:37] <Punza81> how do i find this out?
[00:37] <velociostrich> VanCiper: if it uses the new version of gdm, you probably can't
[00:37] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, unfortunately i think your HDD is damaged, can you tell during the boot process if the HDD even spins up?
[00:38] <velociostrich> Punza81: does it tell you to run configure?
[00:38] <rovar> daemonTW,  ah.. i'll give that a try, thanks.
[00:38] <velociostrich> Punza81: because if it does, run that, then it'll tell you what you need to install
[00:38] <daemonTW> tell me if it works.. someone in here had this problem earlier but i did not hear if it worked for him
[00:39] <Punza81> no
[00:39] <rovar> oh wait a it.
[00:39] <Punza81> there is only a makefile
[00:39] <velociostrich> no configuration file?
[00:39] <velociostrich> hrm
[00:39] <pietro10> Okay
[00:39] <velociostrich> just try running make then
[00:39] <velociostrich> see what it says
[00:39] <rovar> /dev/loop0 is already mounted as /cdrom and it appears to be the iso image
[00:39] <pietro10> I right clicked on the wireless icon in the top menubar and checked Enable Networking, but Wireless is disable and I can't enable it. what's going on?
[00:39] <Punza81> sudo make?
[00:39] <onetinsoldier> no.. just make
[00:39] <velociostrich> Punza81: no, just make
[00:39] <rovar> is there a way to tell what image the installer is looking for?
[00:40] <rovar> I made sure to use amd64 images..
[00:40] <velociostrich> Punza81: you only need 'sudo' for when you're trying to install, typically
[00:40] <VanCiper> ping
[00:40] <rovar> for the img and the iso
[00:40] <velociostrich> Punza81: sudo just elevates your privileges so you can perform administrative functions
[00:40] <Punza81> the make has finished with an error
[00:40] <azolap> Dizkonnekted i'm not sure.. how can i tell that?  hmm i just selected the "check disc for defects" option  on the ubuntu cd menu. it got some errors at first saying "I/O error on device sda6 logical block __" then it ran some checks and said "Check finished: no errors found"
[00:40] <pietro10> ...
[00:40] <velociostrich> Punza81: copy the error to a pastebin so I can see it
[00:40] <pietro10> Would that be why it's not working? I'm using amd64 10.04 from Wubi
[00:41] <Punza81> umm it's not on this computer
[00:41] <Punza81> this is a laptop
[00:41] <rovar> maybe it's not the iso
[00:41] <velociostrich> Punza81: go to http://pastebin.com/ and copy and paste the error
[00:41] <Punza81> I don't have internet acess
[00:41] <azolap> and it said things like "Checking ./wubi.exe...OK" so i guess the hard drive is working ?
[00:41] <velociostrich> Punza81: oh
[00:41] <onetinsoldier> Punza81: any line that say 'no such file or directory'?
[00:41] <dodo3773> test
[00:42] <repsol> Hi all I just installed 10.4 can somebody tell me how to get the compiz manager installed
[00:42] <repsol> I want to get the cubes working
[00:42] <Punza81> i'll try and type it. give me 1 second
[00:42] <CaptainTrek> why does firefox open up firefox and firefox-bin?
[00:43] <repsol> The wobbly windows are working already so my drivers are all good just whatever I install the cube isn't installed
[00:43] <christos> repsol you still need to know?
[00:43] <rovar> arg.. yes.. so the iso I need is mounted at /cdrom, it seems to be intact.. I will try installing from the command line to see what the installer is really after.
[00:43] <repsol> ya
[00:43] <velociostrich> CaptainTrek: firefox is probably just a starter script and firefox-bin is the actual binary
[00:43] <repsol> rovar, yes please
[00:43] <pietro10> ~wireless
[00:43] <nezo> hi
[00:43] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, during the boot process when you 1st power the laptop is when the drive spins up and the bios checks the boot order etc, are you comfortable with removing parts from your laptop,?
[00:44] <christos> repsol udo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
[00:44] <pietro10> guess ubottu doesn't have one
[00:44] <repsol> christos, thanks
[00:44] <CaptainTrek> pietro10:  its triggers are ! not ~
[00:44] <rovar> doesn't the installer keep debug logs? wouldn't it say there?
[00:44] <christos> repsol sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
[00:44] <CaptainTrek> !wireless > pietro10
[00:44] <christos> sorry i did an typo lol
[00:44] <pietro10> thanks
[00:44] <pietro10> =P
[00:47] <pietro10> okay networking is not my forte and I don't get what ubotu is linking me to
[00:47] <pietro10> All I know is that when I right click the networking icon I can't Enable Wireless
[00:47] <Punza81> http://pastebin.com/tJQWbmbY
[00:47] <Dizkonnekted> hello room, im using 9.10, ive had a look through the forums and tried some suggestions there and found that enabling KMS solved my ATI RADEON 9200 (pci) problem i was having, but then it stopped working for no apparent reason, anyone able to help?
[00:47] <Punza81> that link is around about the error message
[00:47] <Punza81> there was a permission denied as well earlier
[00:48] <azolap> Dizkonnekted well i can remove the casing of the laptop so i can see the harddrive and everything.. what is it you think i should do? by the way if i don't have a cd in the cd drive it will go to the grub bootloader and give me the option for windows or linux.. so doesn't that mean the hard disk is working?
[00:48] <velociostrich> Punza81: it looks like they've rolled the installation part into the makefile
[00:48] <velociostrich> Punza81: then you should try running it with sudo
[00:48] <velociostrich> Punza81: so do sudo make
[00:48] <christos> i have like 80-90 cpu ussage why is that?
[00:49] <Moral_> pietro10, do you have a wireless card, that's supported.
[00:49] <velociostrich> christos: what kind of hardware do you have? cpu wise, that is
[00:49] <rovar> repsol,  do you know where to look for the installer debug logs?
[00:49] <christos> amd 64 bit 3200+ 2.0GHZ
[00:49] <rovar> i summed the iso on the key with the original, they're the same
[00:49] <christos> 1 gig of ram
[00:49] <pietro10> Moral_: hold on
[00:49] <LinuX2half> Hi
[00:49] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, yes it does if you are dual booting, will it allow you to boot fully into ubuntu or windows?
[00:49] <repsol> rovar I can find out
[00:50] <velociostrich> christos: oooh, you shouldn't be getting that much usage with that hardware -- open up the system monitor, go to processes, and  arrange the processes by CPU usage
[00:50] <velociostrich> and see which one is eating it up
[00:50] <Punza81> one moment I'll get an exact copy and paste
[00:50] <christos> oh compiz
[00:50] <christos> is running
[00:50] <christos> 31%
[00:50] <christos> 78%
[00:50] <christos> thats the only one running high
[00:51] <repsol> rovar, try /var/log/debug
[00:51] <Dizkonnekted> christos, you using an Ati Radeon card?
[00:51] <christos> yeah
[00:51] <rovar> repsol, I'm pretty sure there wasn't a debug in /var/log when I checked, but I'll look again
[00:51] <Dizkonnekted> christos, what model?
[00:51] <christos> ati x800gto
[00:51] <repsol> I just checked and I have one
[00:51] <sidney> hi
[00:51] <Punza81> http://pastebin.com/GnwQvKhU
[00:52] <Punza81> that's the exact print out.
[00:52] <sidney> whats up?
[00:52] <LinuX2half> Why when I install Ubuntu, using wubi, it installed on the location /dev/loop0
[00:52] <Punza81> I was able to put it on the portable hard drive and
[00:52] <Punza81> transfer it
[00:52] <LinuX2half> Its not actually installed in the hard drive.
[00:52] <christos> Dizkonnekted x800gto
[00:52] <Viking667> hey all.
[00:52] <Punza81> the text file that is
[00:53] <azolap> Dizkonnekted no, windows just stalls on the windows 7 loading screen indefinitely... and ubuntu gives me the DRDY ERR if i try to boot it.
[00:53] <repsol> rovar, debug is a file in /var/log  "cd /var/log"
[00:53] <rovar> repsol, sure
[00:53] <velociostrich> Punza81: oh wow they appear to have given you a broken driver
[00:53] <sidney> pointless
[00:53] <repsol> rovar, ls -la debug
[00:53] <Dizkonnekted> christos, im not sure about the protocol in channel about posting forum or wiki links, so send me a PM and ill pass you 2 links i think might help you
[00:53] <velociostrich> Punza81: there's actually errors in the code
[00:53] <rovar> im just saying that when I ls'd /var/log all i saw was syslog
[00:53] <rovar> but I'm restarting the install.. so I'll see.
[00:53] <azolap> Dizkonnekted i just managed to boot the ubuntu livecd for the first time.. i don't know why but it worked this time (maybe to do with running the defect check?)
[00:54] <Viking667> hm. How do I set a "RealTime" priority on a process?
[00:54] <repsol> It is amazing how fast this channel is
[00:54] <azolap> so i am logged in as user ubuntu. but is there a way i can access my files on the hd?
[00:54] <Viking667> I'd like ideally for it to listen to me no matter what else is going on in the machine.
[00:54] <velociostrich> Punza81: if you can find out what the chipset is, you might be able to, say, go to the manufacturer's website and get newer source; otherwise, there might actually be support for it already on your system, and you just have to start it manually
[00:54] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, yes there is, try checking the disk for errors
[00:54] <Typos_King> azolap:   try to mount the partitions :), using the file manager
[00:54] <pietro10> Moral_: I don't see my card in the list
[00:54] <Viking667> I'm ssh'd into a machine, and I'm running screen, with top running inside a screen-spawned shell.
[00:54] <pietro10> Dell Wireless 1397
[00:54] <Punza81> how would I do that?
[00:55] <velociostrich> Punza81: know what, you might be able to find that by running lspci -k and seeing the output; although I don't know if it would show PCI-E devices, too
[00:55] <Punza81> start it manually in case
[00:55] <pietro10> though if it's the same as
[00:55] <pietro10>  DW1390 - Wireless 1390 - WLAN (802.11g) ExpressCard
[00:55] <pietro10> then it isn't supported :|
[00:55] <pietro10> guess I have to plug in the ethernet cable to do this
[00:55] <Typos_King> azolap:    btw, DRDY ERR type errors are usually spit out  by libata module meaning, the HD is going south or has a few bad sectors already, you can always run a live-cd with utils to do a S.M.A.R.T check on it if you wish :)
[00:55] <velociostrich> "start it manually"?
[00:55] <christos> Dizkonnekted i sent you a pkm
[00:55] <christos> pm
[00:56] <Typos_King> a pkm? hhee
[00:56] <Viking667> but if there's SMART errors already, then you're better off replacing the drive after you back up the data.
[00:56] <Typos_King> a privately koncealed msg? :P
[00:56] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, try something like: sudo e2fsck -c /dev/sda5 or whichever letter your faulty hdd is
[00:56] <Dizkonnekted> christos, ok thanks ill get you the links now
[00:56] <Punza81> lspci -k did not work
[00:57] <christos> ok thanks
[00:57] <repsol> rovar, did you find it?
[00:57] <Punza81> did not find my device I should say'
[00:57] <azolap> Dizkonnekted how can i check the disk for errors? Typos_King i tried to mount the WINDOWS volume (cause i want to get my files from windows) but it said "unable to mount location - did not receive a reply"
[00:57] <velociostrich> Punza81: hrm... I don't know what else you could do besides googling for linux support for the thing
[00:58] <vitamin-carrot> azolap: when did you start having issues with your windows hdd?
[00:58] <rovar> repsol, i tried to start  "expert install" but it seems to have hung while loading the image
[00:58] <Punza81> does the output suggest I'm missing any compilers?
[00:58] <vitamin-carrot> azolap: after ubuntu install?
[00:59] <velociostrich> Punza81: no, you have the compilers installed allright, they just throw errors because there's errors in the code
[00:59] <azolap> vitamin-carrot i dropped my laptop a couple of days ago and have been unable to boot into windows or linux since then.. i am running a livecd now
[00:59] <Typos_King> azolap:    for the *nix partition, you can do a 'disk check' as Dizkonnekted already suggested, -> sudo e2fsck -c /dev/YOURINSTALLHERE; as far as doing it on win7, I'd suggest you get something like Hiren's boot cd, [ http://www.hirensbootcd.net/ ] which has a bunch of disk checkers youu can run from a live-cd session
[00:59] <KevinM> Where can I find the command that a ubuntu package was compiled into a binary with?
[01:00] <wildbat> !make | KevinM
[01:00] <Viking667> that's ... check out debmake
[01:00] <vitamin-carrot> azolap: did you check to make sure the hdd in the laptop is connected corrctly?
[01:00] <ki0sx> Can someone point me in the direction of how to fix file shares after upgrading to 10.04?  It was working perfectly before upgrade.
[01:00] <Punza81> ok
[01:00] <azolap> oh ok  thanks Typos_King, i'll try that on the linux partition. will this e2fschk command not touch my windows partition at all then?
[01:00] <Punza81> well Thanks for your help anyway
[01:01] <Punza81> I'll keep trying
[01:01] <velociostrich> Punza81: you might be in luck -- I downloaded the driver from Asus's website
[01:01] <Viking667> azolap: it won't touch your windows drive
[01:01] <azolap> vitamin-carrot yes i took the casing off the laptop and checked the hard drive connections.. it was fully plugged in
[01:01] <azolap> it is only connected at once place right? because i couldn't take the hard drive out completely
[01:01] <velociostrich> Punza81: and I read the readme and it has the manufacturer of the chipset and the chipset name: rt2860sta.o/rt2860sta.ko and Ralink
[01:01] <Dizkonnekted> Typos_King, LOL thanks, azolap if you can check your ubuntu partition 1st youll be able to see if theres a bunch of errors on it
[01:01] <Sasquatch7> Anyone know how to open to separate windows, not tabs, in gedit?
[01:02] <ki0sx> azolap: it would be connected at the motherboard and the drive
[01:02] <velociostrich> Punza81: try going to Ralink's website and looking for rt2860sta
[01:02] <KevinM> wildbat, That tells me how to compile something, but I need to know what options a package was compiled with
[01:02] <Punza81> ok
[01:02] <paladaxar2> sometimes when i start up ubuntu 10.04 it looks like the GUI is from an older version...then if I restart a number of times, the normal GUI comes back
[01:03] <paladaxar2> anyone having this issue?
[01:03] <velociostrich> Punza81: I'm looking in the readme, and the instructions are actually quite lengthy
[01:03] <wildbat> KevinM, oh ~ i don't think you can
[01:03] <velociostrich> Punza81: it might be possible that you just missed a step and could make it work
[01:03] <Typos_King> azolap:     no, both checks are OS dependent, so each works for each filesystem :)
[01:03] <mophead> Hey everyone!  Just checking in to see if there are any updates re: flash problems in firefox.  Since updating to Lucid I can't get sound and some flash sites just don't work period.
[01:04] <KevinM> wildbat, aw. I was hoping to figure out if pure-ftpd-common/mysql was built with quota
[01:04] <CaptainTrek> mophead: reinstall flash
[01:04] <KevinM> looks like I'll just purge/remove and compile
[01:04] <mophead> so just sudo apt-get remove flash ?
[01:05] <mophead> then sudo apt-get install flash?
[01:05] <rovar> repsol, there is only syslog in /var/log
[01:05] <azolap> ok Typos_King, in file manager i can view my ubuntu filesystem.. when doing the e2fschk i'm not sure what the /dev/YOURINSTALLHERE should be. i can view the /dev/ folder in file manager but not sure what you mean for YOURINSTALLHERE
[01:05] <velociostrich> mophead: I don't think the package is called flash; the best way is to go to Applications->Ubuntu Software center and searching for "Adobe Flash Player"
[01:05] <functor> Hey, I am trying to set up two graphics cards (three monitors) with ubuntu. Do I have to take all the normal steps I did with other (not so friendly) distributions and download the nvidia drivers manually + edit xorg.conf?
[01:05] <julian_> I'm able to connect to the internet via wireless in gnome desktop, but I'm not able to do it in LXDE.  What can I do to fix that?
[01:06] <julian_> I'm using 10.04
[01:06] <functor> I noticed it downloads the actual nvidia drivers by itself... Does this mean there is an easier way?
[01:06] <mophead> I think I found it actually: is it flashplugin-installer ?
[01:06] <Docteh> julian_: run the program that you're using in gnome, in lxde?
[01:06] <velociostrich> functor: as far as drivers go, you could just go to System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
[01:06] <Punza81> which readme file are you reaading, the asus read me or the ralink one
[01:06] <julian_> Yes, I launch firefox and it can't connect.
[01:06] <velociostrich> Punza81: the one from Asus's site
[01:06] <Typos_King> azolap:     firstly, if your file manager can 'view' it, chances are is mounted, you don't use e2fsck on a mounted system, so, unmount it before using it, you want to know where YOURINSTALL is, just issue -> fdisk -l;  that'll tell you, it'll be /dev/sda1 or so
[01:06] <functor> velociostrich, yeah, I got the nvidia ones - but it only shows the one GPU in nvidia-settings
[01:07] <functor> I also have debian on this computer, and nvidia-settings shows both on it
[01:07] <velociostrich> functor: all I know is that you used to have to use Xinerama, but (if I recall correctly) that's no longer how you do it, so I don't know
[01:07] <rovar> hrrm.. anyone know where i can find debug logs for the command line installer? I'm trying to see specifically what file it was looking for from the .iso
[01:07] <rovar> because it can't find it (usb key)
[01:08] <k-rad> i haven't kept up with all the backup programs around, essentially i've got a router with a usb 2.0 disk drive support using dd-wrt, and i'd like to backup files to it by user/password access.  i'll be sharing the drive with my father
[01:08] <k-rad> i use ubuntu and would like a gui.  he uses windows and would need to backup too
[01:08] <functor> velociostrich, do you know how to get the "extended desktop" effect on a single GPU (two screens)? With twin-view, one monitor has a "hidden spot"
[01:08] <velociostrich> functor: no idea man :)
[01:08] <functor> :<
[01:09] <velociostrich> functor: lol perhaps that shouldn't have been a smiley from me
[01:09] <Typos_King> rovar:    apt-get you mean?
[01:09] <mophead> it claims to be removing adobe-flashplugin and installing flashplugin-installer.
[01:09] <Punza81> ok sure
[01:09] <rovar> Typos_King, no, the actuall ubuntu installer
[01:09] <rovar> I made a usb key out of the latest lucid iso and the amd64 img
[01:10] <azolap> Typos_King i'm a bit confused as to which is my ubuntu partition on the hard disk.. in file manager i have "88.2GB Media" and "Filesystem" .. both look like ubuntu installs :s
[01:10] <functor> velociostrich, apparently Xinerama is superceded to RandR
[01:10] <christos> sorry again linux crashed or something but everything froze i need help i have high cpu usage compiz is the problem i have an ati graphics card
[01:10] <Typos_King> azolap:   what did 'fdisk -l' say?   can you paste it to paste2.org?
[01:11] <azolap> fdisk -l said nothing
[01:11] <Punza81> would I have to do anything in the config.mk I wouldn't think so
[01:11] <mophead> Yay!  Okay, so what worked is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9357196 Thanks everyone! Those of you who hang out here, try pointing anyone with firefox flash problem to this page.
[01:11] <rovar> I am going to try the iso from here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/  instead of the one from the main page
[01:11] <azolap> i ran the command in terminal.. under ubuntu@ubuntu , was that correct?
[01:12] <onetinsoldier> azolap: try 'df -h'
[01:12] <velociostrich> functor: like I said, I don't know anything about running multiple monitors
[01:12] <velociostrich> functor: but now I might look into them
[01:12] <Typos_King> rovar:    try at /var/log/installer
[01:13] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, type sudo fdisk -l that will get you what you need
[01:13] <onetinsoldier> azolap: 'df -h' will show you something similar to this..   /dev/sdb1             4.4G  340M  3.8G   9% /
[01:13] <rovar> Typos_King,  that doesn't exist either.. just /var/log/syslog
[01:13] <rovar> that's from /
[01:13] <rovar> in the shell that it gives me
[01:13] <Typos_King> rovar:    /var/log/installer  is a folder with several logs, not a file
[01:13] <peyton_westlake> Anyone in here familiar with Nvidia X Server?
[01:14] <rovar> Typos_King,  when my install fails and I use the shell,  there is no such directory under /
[01:14] <chikatambun> anyone familiar with globus.toolkit
[01:14] <hiexpo> anyone got word when the getdeb repos will be back up
[01:14] <pietro10> okay so
[01:14] <pietro10> when I plug in my ethernet cable into the laptop
[01:14] <pietro10> it still won't connect
[01:15] <pietro10> the connection menu says Disconnected
[01:15] <christos> can anyone help me with high cpu usage im running an ati graphics card
[01:15] <azolap> ok Typos_King here it is: http://pastebin.com/gNJSepWN
[01:15] <Typos_King> rovar:   I'd expect that, I think those are done in the end of the whole process, so... sounds to me you got a funky .iso image or something is up with it, what would you need to fix?  for all we know it may be corrupted
[01:15] <hopeless8009> what is a good dock program
[01:15] <Punza81> velociostrich: any clues of what I need to add from the readme?
[01:15] <hiexpo> docky
[01:15] <pietro10> however
[01:16] <pietro10> in the Network Connections
[01:16] <pietro10> I see auto eth0
[01:16] <pietro10> what's going on now
[01:16] <FloodBot4> pietro10: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:16] <hiexpo> !flood
[01:16] <pietro10> it's not a flood >_>
[01:16] <rovar> Typos_King, I summed it and it's correct, but I suspect there is a mismatch between my img and the iso.. i'm trying a different iso now
[01:16] <nettoyeur25> MOON c'est quoi cela ???
[01:16] <rovar> summed it on the key itself, to make sure it copied correctly
[01:16] <Typos_King> azolap:     .... df -h isn't saying much on that, I thought you were going to paste 'fdisk -l' :|
[01:17] <velociostrich> Punza81: well, I looked at the instructions and some of them have already been performed on the code; it looks like the code is just broken, but there's newer versions of the drivers on Ralink's site
[01:17] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, is your network cable plugged into something at the other end, like a router
[01:17] <Typos_King> rovar:   how did you know is correct?
[01:17] <pietro10> Dizkonnekted: connected into the modem
[01:17] <pietro10> it's cable
[01:17] <Typos_King> !fr | nettoyeur25
[01:17] <Punza81> ok I'll try and get the ralink one on my system
[01:17] <velociostrich> Punza81: fourth one from the top from here: http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
[01:17] <nettoyeur25> serai je abusé ? personne parlant Français ici ?
[01:17] <christos> dizkonnekted sorry it froze and i had to hard reboot
[01:18] <azolap> oh oops.. here is fdisk -l : http://pastebin.com/waadnFEX
[01:18] <hopeless8009> hiexpo: whats it like
[01:18] <christos> i didnt get the last link but compiz is the problem thats 100% cpu ussage
[01:18] <velociostrich> Punza81: the one that says rt2860
[01:18] <Dizkonnekted> christos, no problem
[01:18] <hiexpo> hopeless8009,   ? huh
[01:18] <rovar> Typos_King,  checksum
[01:18] <nettoyeur25> ah OK, merci
[01:18] <Typos_King> nettoyeur25:    anglais uniquement :|, je ne pas parle francais :|
[01:18] <hopeless8009> hiexpo: docky
[01:19] <nettoyeur25> désolé pour le dérangement
[01:19] <soreau> christos: The likeliest cause that there would be 100% cpu with compiz is a graphics driver or X bug
[01:19] <soreau> 9 times out of 10, it's the graphics driver
[01:19] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, is your router set up to hand out IP addys automatically?
[01:19] <hiexpo> hopeless8009, one sec
[01:19] <pietro10> it usually does, since I can just plug in and go on Mac and Windows
[01:19] <pietro10> the mac is a separate machine
[01:19] <Typos_King> rovar:     I see
[01:19] <pietro10> hm
[01:20] <pietro10> let me see if I can pull up the device name
[01:20] <Typos_King> azolap:     that'll be /dev/sda5 then
[01:21] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, by default ubuntu is set to get an IP automatically, if you type ifconfig in a termianl can you see your ip addy?
[01:21] <pietro10> one sec (I need to disconnect >_>)
[01:22] <azolap> Typos_King oh ok.. what is sda6 then? because i remember seeing sda6 a lot when i was trying to boot ubuntu before. and also in my filesystem, is the "88.2GB Media" or "Filesystem" device my ubuntu install on the hdd?
[01:22] <tehbaut> anyone know if there's a way to fix windows bootloader from ubuntu? my CD drive isn't working, nor is my vista install
[01:22] <Dizkonnekted> christos, did you get the 2nd link this time?
[01:22] <hiexpo> hopeless8009, http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/12/20/how-to-install-docky-in-ubuntu-9-10/
[01:22] <azolap> it gives me the option to unmount the Media device but not the Filesystem one
[01:23] <hiexpo> hopeless8009, it will show you what it'slike there
[01:23] <Typos_King> azolap:     sda5 is '/' or root, 'sda6' is the 'swap partition' or the virtual memory one, from the paste, is a 3.5gbs one
[01:23] <Punza81> I have run the make
[01:24] <Punza81> of the downloaded file
[01:24] <Punza81> from ralink
[01:24] <Punza81> that seems to have run
[01:24] <Punza81> without errors
[01:24] <FloodBot4> Punza81: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:24] <azolap> oh i see
[01:24] <pietro10> Dizkonnekted: no, just localhost
[01:24] <Typos_King> tehbaut:   what's wrong with it?  are we talking NTLDR?
[01:24] <velociostrich> Punza81: ok, I think the only thing you have to do now is "sudo make install"
[01:24] <mbrproblem10> Can anyone help me with a fdisk problem?
[01:25] <velociostrich> Punza81: then after that, run "sudo depmod -ae" then "sudo modprobe rt2860"
[01:25] <harjot> What are good proxy servers?
[01:25] <Punza81> now the next instruction is to copy a particular file to the etc/Wireless/RT2860STA directory
[01:25] <tehbaut> Typos_King: possibly, it's unable to load winloader.exe or something
[01:25] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, right click the icon in the notification area and select edit connections
[01:25] <Punza81> though this does not exist and I am unable to creat this
[01:25] <velociostrich> oh
[01:26] <velociostrich> Punza81: I found a guide online that looks helpful
[01:26] <Typos_King> tehbaut:   there's no winloader.exe that I've heard of, win32 boot loaders still uses ntldrd
[01:26] <velociostrich> Punza81: have a look at this: http://www.ab9il.net/linuxwireless/rt2860.html
[01:26] <Typos_King> ntldr rather
[01:26] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, highlight Auto eth0 and click edit
[01:26] <pietro10> Dizkonnekted: k
[01:26] <velociostrich> Punza81: according to that, you have to change directories to something and _then_ run make install, I'm not sure, let me look at the readme again
[01:26] <azolap> Typos_King ok so i've just tried 'sudo e2fschk -c /dev/sda5' but i got e2fschk: command not found
[01:27] <Typos_King> heheh
[01:27] <Typos_King> azolap:    e2fsck :)
[01:27] <velociostrich> Punza81: I looked at it; just run the command right there
[01:27] <Typos_King> no e2fschk hehe
[01:27] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, make sure "connect automatically" box is checked, then click the IPv4 tab
[01:27] <mbrproblem10> anyone want to look at a partition table and tell me if its going to work?
[01:27] <velociostrich> sudo cp RT2860STA.dat  /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat
[01:27] <azolap> oh oops ok it worked now..
[01:27] <pietro10> Dizkonnekted: it's automatic DHCP
[01:27] <pietro10> (same as with my mac)
[01:27] <azolap> but gave me a warning about running it on a mounted filesystem
[01:27] <Punza81> I'll try that
[01:27] <Zeek_> heyas, a sound question.  I am using 10.04 and having a dogged problem with audio.   I use a USB Logitech headset and my audio will at times die.  Video files will no longer play, I get stuff like pulseaudio ratelimit.c events suppressed and...an odd thin I have noticed, at the top right where you normally have the account name and availability option then the menu for restart/etc, there are 2 copies of the account name.  Anyo
[01:27] <Zeek_> ne seen this before?
[01:28] <Typos_King> azolap:    which we warned you about several minutes ago
[01:28] <velociostrich> Punza81: then from there run /sbin/insmod rt2860 and /sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up where you would place your desired IP for YOUR_I
[01:28] <Typos_King> azolap:    unmount it first, then retry it
[01:28] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, do you have another ethernet cable you can try in that computer?
[01:29] <velociostrich> Punza81: as for that last step, you might just be able to use the network manager applet on your top panel
[01:29] <Punza81> it says no such file or directory
[01:29] <pietro10> Dizkonnekted: yes, hold on
[01:29] <Punza81> when I try the cp command
[01:29] <azolap> oh ok so the 88.2GB Media one needs to be unmounted? i'll try that
[01:29] <Typos_King> Punza81:   /Wireless/RT2860STA/  do not exist, you have to make both :)
[01:29] <Typos_King> fyi
[01:30] <Punza81> I've tried to make it too
[01:30] <Typos_King> then it should work :P
[01:30] <velociostrich> Punza81: it looks like you just have to make the directory /etc/Wireless then in that make RT2860STA
[01:30] <azolap> oo ok i think it's working now i unmounted the Media drive :-) does e2fsck take a long time to run?
[01:30] <velociostrich> Punza81: so first you would run "sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless" then after that run "sudo mkdir /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA"
[01:30] <Punza81> hang it's worked
[01:30] <Punza81> that mkdir step
[01:30] <velociostrich> Punza81: then run the copy command
[01:31] <Typos_King> azolap:   depends on cpu speed and memory, and partition size, yes, it can take 1hr or more
[01:31] <azolap> oh ok
[01:31] <azolap> it is asking me a questiojn
[01:31] <azolap> Superblock has an invalid journal
[01:31] <azolap> Clear<y>?
[01:31] <undecim> Is there any way to either 1: restrict the size of the panel even when an applet that expands it is using it, or 2: have a panel on the top make room for a panel on the side (instead of the other way around)
[01:31] <Punza81> I have copied the file rt286osta to the /etc/wireless/rt2860sta directory
[01:31] <Typos_King> azolap:    usually you want to hehe, yes
[01:32] <pietro10> Dizkonnekted: actually no, I don't know where I put it, sorry
[01:32] <velociostrich> Punza81: ok, now do that step to load the module
[01:32] <Punza81> ok from the readme
[01:32] <bastid_raZor> 05xtryefwyt ytkvg  cvgwuthggfehrgywtergrir r rqy71et 7qrr tef6 6er6o38,32REFRERF TWE7ED 1
[01:32] <velociostrich> Punza81: sudo /sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko
[01:32] <tehbaut> Typos_King: it says file \Windows\system32\winload.exe is missing or corrupt
[01:32] <Typos_King> what the?
[01:32] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, its ok, do you know that cable works ok on another computer though?
[01:32] <pietro10> yes
[01:32] <pietro10> right now, on my mac
[01:32] <allguru> hello we are some blender artists and building our website , please tell us are there any problem with the installed forum www.qemum.org/montada , i'm not a bot !!
[01:32] <Typos_King> tehbaut:  who, when?
[01:32] <tehbaut> when I try to load vista partition
[01:33] <azolap> ok it said ext3 journal has been deleted.. filesystem is now ext2 only - what does that mean?!
[01:33] <tehbaut> I moved this partition over from another disk
[01:34] <tehbaut> the message tells me to load the vista disk for repairing the issue, but my CD drive isnt working
[01:34] <onetinsoldier> allguru: i loaded up your link in firefox. worked ok here, but i can't read arabic :-)
[01:34] <Punza81> where is the "os/linux/" directory
[01:34] <tehbaut> which is why I asked if there was a way to do it from ubuntu
[01:34] <Punza81> not understanding this step
[01:34] <allguru> onetinsoldier: thanks dude , do the ads appear ?
[01:34] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, aha ok, then in a terminal window type sudo ifconfig eth0 down, wait 20 seconds and type sudo ifconfig eth0 up (with the cable connected)
[01:34] <onetinsoldier> allguru: yes
[01:35] <pietro10> okay
[01:35] <allguru> onetinsoldier: thanks
[01:35] <onetinsoldier> allguru: you're welcome
[01:35] <allguru> onetinsoldier: what do you think of the water drop ?
[01:35] <Monotoko> tehbaut, there is a way to boot from a Windows Vista disk on USB#
[01:35] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10,  that *should* get you an ip addy
[01:35] <Punza81> actually disregard what I previously said
[01:35] <velociostrich> Punza81: I think you can ignore that
[01:35] <velociostrich> Punza81: yeah
[01:35] <allguru> onetinsoldier: we created it with uncle blender [ open source ]
[01:35] <Monotoko> tehbaut, google it, because im not quite sure how to do it, i just know theres a way
[01:35] <onetinsoldier> allguru: cool. looks great :)
[01:35] <velociostrich> Punza81: just do what I told you --> sudo /sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko
[01:36] <tehbaut> Monotoko: nope, cant do that either (usb cd drive) :\
[01:36] <azolap> Typos_King it found another problem.. Error reading block 8355841 while reading inode and block bitmaps. Ignore error<y>?
[01:36] <Typos_King> ..
[01:36] <azolap> am i supposed to say yes to everything?
[01:37] <pietro10_> all right, still don't see it connected
[01:37] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, if it does notthen your router might be configured in a secure manner  or its not handing out IP's automatically
[01:37] <Typos_King> azolap:    yes, you can ignore them for now, at the end, it will do an auto fix
[01:37] <CaptainTrek> usually, most files a user needs from an old install are in /home, right?
[01:37] <Punza81> ok I've managed to type sudo /sbin/insmod rt2860sta.ko
[01:37] <azolap> oh right i see
[01:37] <Punza81> and that has not had an error message
[01:37] <pietro10_> it's not a router; it's a modem that is connected to a coax
[01:37] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, whats your IP addy on the mac?
[01:37] <azolap> am i going to have to press Y every time it finds things or can i make it ignore automatically?
[01:37] <pietro10> <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:38] <allguru> onetinsoldier: ok , before going have a look at the game guys , it's very nice , the earth has no water , a boy of a rich family spoils water , the water get's angry then decides to go to the moon , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfom7GWdDOQ&feature=player_embedded , feedback is welcome , thanks and bye :) .
[01:38] <christos> i have another question its actually for a friend on facebook he cant upload a video for some reason anyone know a solution?
[01:38] <azolap> wait a sec it also asks me Force rewrite<y>?  on the same block. is that a yes too?
[01:38] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, send me a PM
[01:38] <velociostrich> Punza81: it should work now; try using the network manager
[01:38] <velociostrich> Punza81: I hope you know how to do that at least... ;)
[01:39] <Punza81> ummm
[01:39] <Punza81> not really I have configured the not really
[01:40] <Typos_King> tehbaut:   http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/WINLOAD-EXE-Problem-t161700.html    might be relevant, I think they're referring to editing the '\boot.ini' hidden file
[01:40] <Punza81> I have configured my billion wireless router through windows that's how I'm using this computer
[01:41] <Punza81> having wireless internet, though I have no idea in setting up my internet on the ubuntu system
[01:41] <velociostrich> Punza81: well you should see a little networking icon on your top panel if you're using Ubuntu and not Kubuntu or some other variant that you'll click
[01:41] <CaptainTrek> question: most things that the normal user would need to preserve when moving files from old installs to new installs would be in their /home/ folder, right?
[01:41] <Typos_King> CaptainTrek: right
[01:41] <velociostrich> Punza81: and if it's working, you'll see a list of available networks to connect to
[01:42] <CaptainTrek> Typos_King: so if I nuke my older 9.04 install, i'd just need to preserve my /home/ folder... right?
[01:42] <julian_> I'm able to connect to the internet with gnome on ubuntu 10.04 but can't using LXDE.  I'm able to ping in LXDE though.  It seems stuck on "loopback"
[01:42] <julian_> How do I fix this?
[01:42] <azolap> ok Typos_King well thanks for the help.. i will just let e2fsck run and say yes to everything. what will this tell me when it has finished? is there a chance it will fix problems and i will be able to boot into ubuntu normally without the livecd?
[01:42] <Typos_King> CaptainTrek:    configuration stuff, yes
[01:43] <Punza81> I have yet to complete that step /sbin/ifconfig ra0 inet YOUR_IP up
[01:43] <velociostrich> Punza81: as far as setting up your wireless goes (if the thing works now) you should just google for that
[01:43] <CaptainTrek> also, what network managers exist for Lucid?
[01:43] <Punza81> should I just create a random IP address?
[01:43] <velociostrich> Punza81: you shouldn't have to do that step; that's what the Network Manager is for
[01:43] <Punza81> oh ok
[01:43] <velociostrich> Punza81: if your router has DHCP, it'll give you an IP address that's not being used
[01:43] <velociostrich> CaptainTrek: by default there's NetworkManager
[01:44] <velociostrich> CaptainTrek: that you would configure with nm-applet (which should already be running)
[01:44] <Typos_King> azolap:    chances are, it will, yes, it will try to fix and then say that you need to reboot, however, based on the DRDY ERR message, I'd think the errors will keep coming back, and you will reneed to run e2fsck again to be able to log back in, whenever not being able to, reason being, I'd think is your HD has bad sectors/clusters
[01:44] <CaptainTrek> velociostrich:  out of curiosity though, do other ones exist?
[01:44] <velociostrich> probably, I don't know though
[01:44] <CaptainTrek> everyone: they got rid of wicd, did they?
[01:44] <velociostrich> CaptainTrek: KDE has its own thing, I think, that would be in the Ubuntu software repository
[01:44] <Punza81> which network manager do I use.. I have tried to double click the manager in the tray
[01:45] <CaptainTrek> velociostrich:  i meant for gnome, i dislike KDE xD
[01:45] <Typos_King> heh
[01:45] <velociostrich> CaptainTrek: that would be nm-applet
[01:45] <Punza81> with no success
[01:45] <velociostrich> Punza81: just right-click it
[01:45] <Punza81> I feel like I'm so close
[01:45]  * CaptainTrek is getting nowhere, so he goes to get ice cream instead
[01:45] <velociostrich> Punza81: first thing though, try running ifconfig
[01:45] <Typos_King> kde has IMO more useful apps :P, and yes knetworkmanager is not its greatest, I don't use it :), I use gnome's, I do use kde :P~
[01:45] <velociostrich> Punza81: see if your device shows up; also try running lspci -k
[01:45] <azolap> Typos_King oh right i see.. so i will really need a new hard drive? but this should enable me to log back into ubuntu for a short time and take a backup of my files?
[01:46] <Typos_King> azolap:   right
[01:46] <Punza81> ifconfig shows 2 ethernet adaptors
[01:46] <Punza81> thouand lo local loopback
[01:46] <azolap> ok well that's good.. well i'll let you know if it works or doesn't work if you  are still here :) thanks again
[01:46] <Punza81> and lo local loopback
[01:47] <velociostrich> Punza81: does it show like ra0 or something? actuall now I think you might have had to run that last step; try runing lspci -k first
[01:47] <velociostrich> Punza81: I really don't know too much about drivers
[01:47] <velociostrich> Punza81: you could try also running like "dmesg | tail" to see if the hardware is working
[01:48] <velociostrich> brb
[01:48] <Brubuntu> ah finally got IRC to work
[01:49] <Brubuntu> what does everyone else use for IRC? cus im ising empathy and it dosnt work most of the time
[01:49] <Brubuntu> just flashes and wont let me connect to a room
[01:49] <velociostrich> back
[01:49] <iceslice22> I'm looking for a guide to installing the Lucid on my MacBook Pro without burning a CD or using a USB drive
[01:49] <velociostrich> Punza81: you should ask someone else about this part of setting it up; I really don't know much
[01:49] <iceslice22> and my google skills are weak
[01:50] <Brubuntu> lucid...
[01:50] <Punza81> lspci does not display my device.
[01:50] <rooob> iceslice22: sure you're not lazy?
[01:50] <Punza81> my device is pci express
[01:50] <greezmunkey> iceslice22: you just eliminated the two best ways to do it!
[01:50] <crdlb> Brubuntu: popular choices include xchat (GUI), and irssi (terminal)
[01:51] <orangeglo> all of the sudden the faces of people have turned blue!!! i have absolutely no idea how all of this happened. what should i do? people in videos are blue, and on skype people appear blue... is there something wrong with my video card driver?
[01:51] <Punza81> dmesg | tail command does not show anything that says asus
[01:51] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: hello, how are you doing? you get your servers and raid setup going ok?
[01:51] <velociostrich> Punza81: I wouldn't expect it to say ASUS, if anything it would say like RT2860
[01:51] <iceslice22> The alternative is to turn my old Nano into a mountable usb drive and use that
[01:52] <greezmunkey> iceslice22: short of a pxe boot, I think you need to sharpen your googlin skills :)
[01:52] <crdlb> orangeglo: if you have an nvidia gpu, there might be a color balance setting in nvidia-settings
[01:52] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: not bad, watchin't the cup finals game 1
[01:52] <orangeglo> crdlb: how can i access these settings?
[01:52] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: cool :)
[01:53] <crdlb> orangeglo: you do have an nvidia video card, right?

[01:53] <rooob> Ubuntu is linux about as much as mac is unix..
[01:54] <onetinsoldier> ??
[01:54] <crdlb> orangeglo: just run the nvidia-settings command and have a look around (this is just a shot in the dark)
[01:54] <bazhang> rooob, keep it on topic please
[01:54] <onetinsoldier> orly?
[01:54] <CaptainTrek> is ikonia around?

[01:54] <Brubuntu> is there a topic in here???
[01:54] <CaptainTrek> if not, i've got a question.
[01:54] <bazhang> Brubuntu, try /topic
[01:54] <CaptainTrek> !offtopic | Brubuntu
[01:54] <bazhang> CaptainTrek, what is it
[01:54] <orangeglo> crdlb: im just not sure what that command is
[01:55] <Punza81_> no hardware device listed
[01:55] <Brubuntu> bazhang: says un-supported comand =S
[01:55] <Brubuntu> but ok, fair enough
[01:55] <bazhang> Brubuntu, this is Ubuntu support; chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:55] <CaptainTrek> bazhang: if I'm copying one partition to a new partition on a different drive, Ikonia gave me these commands: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/35Fctvnx
[01:55] <Brubuntu> um... bye?
[01:55] <CaptainTrek> bazhang: do the partitions need the same filesystem?
[01:56] <crdlb> orangeglo: just type it in a terminal or in the Run dialog (alt-f2)
[01:56] <bazhang> CaptainTrek, you would need to follow up with him
[01:56] <CaptainTrek> bazhang: on both sides of the operation, from starting one to the new one
[01:56] <CaptainTrek> bazhang:  hence why i'm lookin for him
[01:56] <iceslice22> Brubuntu: That thread addresses issues with installing Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro, but doesn't address doing it without a CD/USB drive
[01:56] <manchot> which file stores the finger print of the SSH server?
[01:57] <Punza81_>   i'm unsure what to do now
[01:57] <iceslice22> Unless I'm missing something really obvious
[01:57] <velociostrich> Punza81: I don't know what else to say
[01:57] <velociostrich> Punza81: try asking someone else, sorry
[01:57] <velociostrich> Punza81: I've exhausted everything I know

[01:58] <CaptainTrek> bazhang: no, a complete backup of my 9.04 install on this system
[01:58] <Brubuntu> ok, how do i join an IRC chanel?
[01:58] <manchot> Odd-rationale, I meant not the ssh client, but how does ssd server keeps its fingerprint?
[01:58] <greezmun1ey> Punza81_: what type of wifi adapter are you using?
[01:58] <CaptainTrek> Brubuntu:  /join <channel>
[01:58] <pietro10> Is there a way I can get the "Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver" without using Restricted Packages?
[01:59] <pietro10> I'll put it on a flash drive and send it to the other computer
[01:59] <bazhang> Brubuntu, /join #channel for some clients
[01:59] <orangeglo> crdlb: just type in nvidia-settings?
[01:59] <Odd-rationale> manchot: i'm not sure I understand the question.
[01:59] <velociostrich> greezmun1ey: He's using a rt2860-based one; it's an ASUS PCE-N13, I think
[01:59] <bazhang> CaptainTrek, a clone then.
[01:59] <CaptainTrek> bazhang:  yeah
[01:59] <toolbear> hi.  i'm trying to follow the ubuntu live cd customization guide (the one on ubuntu.com), and want to change the default user login name and password.  it says to change the encrypted password to use mkpasswd.  unfortunately, there's no documentation for this program.  how do i use it?
[01:59] <greezmun1ey> velociostrich: ralink then?
[01:59] <Brubuntu> on empathy? anyone?
[01:59] <manchot> Odd-rationale, when I connect to a sshd server, I was prompted the finger print of the server, and choices to say yes or no.
[01:59] <velociostrich> greezmun1ey: yes, I helped him compile the driver and that seems to have worked
[02:00] <christos> Brubuntu "/Join #channel name" without ""
[02:00] <Dizkonnekted> christos, what format is the video?
[02:00] <velociostrich> greezmun1ey: it's just the installation that he's hung up on
[02:00] <manchot> Odd-rationale, but where does this fingerprint come from?
[02:00] <christos> i have no clue he just told me
[02:00] <christos> that he cant upload it
[02:00] <Brubuntu> aparently
[02:00] <manchot> how can I know it is the fingerprint of the sshd server I set up?
[02:00] <Odd-rationale> manchot: oh, that comes from the server's public ssh key
[02:00] <christos> what format does it need to be?
[02:00] <crdlb> orangeglo: yes
[02:00] <orangeglo> crdlb: says command not found
[02:00] <manchot> Odd-rationale, how can I view it?
[02:01] <Brubuntu> uuuurgh
[02:01] <greezmunkey> velociostrich: ok
[02:01] <Brubuntu> "/join" is an unsupported command
[02:01] <Brubuntu> it wont work
[02:01] <andai> Skype only shows "Pulseaudio (local)" as option for audio device, this way I can't get mic input. Fix?
[02:01] <christos> works for me
[02:01] <Dizkonnekted> christos, you can upload certain formats to facebook, check the facebook help, hes probably using an unsupported format
[02:01] <andai> ( I'm using official skype.com client )
[02:01] <bazhang> Brubuntu, what about clicking on the channel name   #ubuntu-offtopic  (or right clicking)
[02:01] <christos> ok ill tell him

[02:02] <bazhang> look at my message above
[02:02] <crdlb> orangeglo: so, sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings

[02:03] <Odd-rationale> manchot: should be like ~/.ssh/id_rsa/dsa.pub
[02:03] <pietro10_> [8:58pm] pietro10: Is there a way I can get the "Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver" without using Restricted Packages?
[02:03] <pietro10_> [8:59pm] pietro10: I'll put it on a flash drive and send it to the other computer

[02:03] <onetinsoldier> what's start to make matters a little more complicated, are the rooms that start with ##
[02:03] <pepee> 64 bits flash player doesn't work
[02:03] <Odd-rationale> manchot: rsa or dsa, i mean. depending on how it was set up.
[02:03] <bazhang> CaptainTrek, not sure what Ikonia was suggesting, clonezilla seems one option though
[02:03] <manchot> Odd-rationale, just cat it?
[02:03] <pepee> I know I changed something, but I don't remember what I did...
[02:03] <CaptainTrek> bazhang: it in the repos on 10.04?
[02:04] <Odd-rationale> manchot: yes
[02:04] <bazhang> CaptainTrek, nope
[02:04] <CaptainTrek> bazhang: where should I look for clonezilla?
[02:04] <greezmunkey> pepee: did you do it in terminal?
[02:04] <Dizkonnekted> Brubuntu, type /help to get help on your client for joining a room
[02:04] <pepee> greezmunkey, yeah, I edited some file
[02:04] <bazhang> CaptainTrek, your personal favorite search engine perhaps?
[02:05] <manchot> Odd-rationale, I just saw pub keys, not the finger print number.
[02:05] <CaptainTrek> bazhang: lol
[02:05] <pietro10> Brubuntu: what are you typing

[02:06] <Black_Phantom> In the future, Ubuntu will keep on getting faster & faster ? or new features might affect the speed
[02:06] <Odd-rationale> manchot: what are you trying to do?
[02:06] <greezmunkey> pepee: haw far back does your bas_history file go?
[02:07] <pepee> greezmunkey, lol it isn't in my bash_history, I know it
[02:07] <manchot> Odd-rationale, verify the finger print of the SSH server is what it really is.
[02:07] <greezmunkey> pepee: yeah, mine goes back only about a week or so :)
[02:07] <crunchbang> irc.freenode.org
[02:07] <bazhang> crunchbang, you are here already
[02:08] <merma> what's the name of the package for the java plugin for firefox?
[02:08] <bazhang> !java | merma
[02:08] <manchot> Odd-rationale, the question is simple: where is the fingerprint string stored in SSH's server?
[02:08] <Odd-rationale> manchot: so you want to compare what is in the server's id_rsa.pub to what you have in your known_hosts?
[02:08] <Black_Phantom> My laptop's battery barely last 10 minutes and it used to last for 4 hours, is it too late to fix it or something ?
[02:08] <manchot> Odd-rationale, right
[02:08] <pepee> merma, !partnet
[02:09] <pepee> merma, sorry, I make a mistake

[02:09] <christos> how do i register  my name on feenode?
[02:09] <christos> freenod*
[02:09] <pietro10> oh good
[02:09] <manchot> Black_Phantom, get a new battery
[02:09] <Black_Phantom> Dizkonnekted, any idea of the costs my friend ?
[02:09] <Black_Phantom> the problem is i've heard that it is toooo expensive
[02:09] <bazhang> christos, /join #freenode for assistance
[02:10] <Black_Phantom> like i can get a netbook with that battery's cost
[02:10] <christos> ok
[02:10] <Odd-rationale> manchot: if you want the finger print, you have to generate ot from the pubilc key: ssh-keygen -lf ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[02:10] <pietro10> actually still don't ge tit
[02:10] <Dizkonnekted> Black_Phantom, check with you laptop manufacturers website
[02:10] <manchot> Black_Phantom, no. I got mine for about $40
[02:10] <Black_Phantom> and it should be official right ? the chinese didnt reach there yet ?
[02:10] <onetinsoldier> christos: try --> /msg NickServ help register
[02:10] <Black_Phantom> manchot, I see
[02:10] <azolap> does anyone here know about e2fsck? i am running it and it got to the point where it says "Checking for bad blocks (read-only test) 0.06% done 1:39 elapsed" then 5 mins later it says 0.06% done 6:12 elapsed... has it got stuck? why would this happen and what should i do?
[02:11] <Danili> i was updating my ubuntu from update manager to the 10.04 lts but in the "getting new packages" section i get this error wile downloading the last file "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-core_3.2.0-7ubuntu4_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch" can anyone plzz help me???
[02:11] <Dizkonnekted> Black_Phantom, you can also buy a generic battery that might suit your laptop, try google
[02:11] <Black_Phantom> ok guys, any body can give me handful tips in how to keep the battery alive
[02:12] <bazhang> Black_Phantom, sounds like a hardware issue
[02:12] <Black_Phantom> leaving the laptop plugged in all the time can harm the battery or its just a myth
[02:12] <CaptainTrek> bazhang: would a sudo cp work to copy everything over?
[02:12] <CaptainTrek> from one partition to another
[02:12] <Dizkonnekted> Black_Phantom, only use the battery when your mobile, all other times remove it
[02:12] <bazhang> CaptainTrek, for a clone? no
[02:12] <azolap> ok maybe it's not stuck.. 0.07% done 7:49 elapsed
[02:12] <azolap> is it meant to be this slow?!
[02:12] <bazhang> Black_Phantom, try ##hardware
[02:12] <Odd-rationale> manchot: I have to go. hope that helps...
[02:13] <CaptainTrek> bazhang:  then what about copying a /home/<user> folder?
[02:13] <azolap> it got to 0.06 in 8 seconds,  now took 7mins to get another 0.01
[02:13] <Dizkonnekted> Black_Phantom, allowing the batter to go completely dead before recharging also helps, always try and fully recharge it too
[02:13] <bazhang> !home | CaptainTrek
[02:13] <Black_Phantom> Dizkonnekted, I see, alright thanks man
[02:13] <Black_Phantom> bazhang, am done thanks :p
[02:13] <Dizkonnekted> Black_Phantom,  np
[02:14] <FyreFoX> azolap: dunno if this helps, I ran a badblocks recently on a 2TB drive took 8hrs, but I changed the default check from 64 to 10240
[02:14] <azolap> oh right ok
[02:14] <k-rad> anyone know of a way to get crashplan installed and working under lucid ?   the command line input that was supposed to launch the GUI portion didn't do anything.  i'll try prefixing it with sudo
[02:15] <azolap> well mine is only 80gb to check
[02:15] <azolap> i'll leave it overnight i guess
[02:15] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, if there are bad blocks or your drive is badly damaged, that can take some time to complete yes, it may aslo appear to be "stuck" but generally if the HDD indicator light is still on its working
[02:15] <FyreFoX> azolap: ouch, good luck with that
[02:15] <pepee> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins: 64-bit Firefox and 64-bit Flash plugin (Not officially supported by Ubuntu)
[02:15] <CaptainTrek> bazhang: if i'm on my 10.04 partition. can I do everything without booting to the livecd?
[02:15] <CaptainTrek> since i'm messign with a 9.04 partition
[02:16] <pepee> if it is not supported by ubuntu, the why does the package flashplugin-installer install 64 bits flash?
[02:16] <k-rad> its a no go sudo sudo crashplan &  so if anyone has it working under lucid i'd like to hear about it.  the idea of unlimited family plans is very appealing
[02:17] <azolap> hm ok Dizkonnekted .. the hdd indicator light is permanently on atm
[02:17] <jimmyz80> Can anyone point me to how to get mouse cursor changes to work with 10.4 in gnome? I had found out how, but can't recall, doesn
[02:17] <pietro10> k-rad: use only one sudo
[02:17] <Daekdroom> pepee, a package being avaiable in a ubuntu repo doesn't mean it's supported
[02:17] <pietro10> sudo crashplan
[02:17] <jimmyz80> doesn't stick when i do it through appearance settings
[02:17] <azolap> and it's still at 0.07%, at 13 minutes
[02:17] <k-rad> pepee, there are betas for 64 bit flash 10.1 that you can easily install by extracting then  user cp filename.so into ~/.mozilla/plugins
[02:17] <tertl3> sudo poweroff
[02:17] <azolap> hopefully it'll speed up..
[02:18] <GMeola> Hemp is not Pot... Remember that !
[02:18] <pepee> Daekdroom, oh well, that's right
[02:18] <k-rad> pietro10, i'll double check but i'm pretty sure i did i'm all blabberfingers everywhere i go :)
[02:18] <tertl3> GMeola: it is still stigmatized
[02:18] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, once it gets past the bad sections it will, the fall probable damaged the drive a lot
[02:18] <pietro10> ok
[02:18] <pepee> k-rad, I know, thanks
[02:18] <pietro10> also
[02:18] <pietro10> Is there a way I can get the "Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver" without using Restricted Packages? I'll put it on a flash drive and send it to the other computer.
[02:18] <pietro10> I'm not sure how to navigate the online package thing...
[02:18] <k-rad> i was right just one sudo :)
[02:18] <KevinM> Would anybody here be interested in helping me with PureFTPd?
[02:18] <pietro10> and I can't connect to the internet on the system running ubuntu
[02:18] <greezmunkey> CaptainTrek: seems to me that tar with the --posix option should be able to wrap up a file system in one place, and then be able to extract to another maintaining user and group settings.
[02:18] <tertl3> pietro10: just use resetricted :)
[02:18] <pietro10> tertl3: I can't connect to the internet
[02:19] <tertl3> pietro10: I see
[02:19] <pepee> Daekdroom, do you use 64 bits flash? does it work for you?
[02:19] <pietro10> wired isn't working for whatever stupid reason
[02:19] <tertl3> pietro10: try to find a hot wire :)
[02:19] <azolap> oh right :/ well thanks for the advice  today Dizkonnekted,  i think i will get some sleep now and hopefully it will be done when i wake up
[02:19] <Daekdroom> pepee, I use a 32bits system.
[02:19] <pietro10> tertl3: what do you mean hot wir
[02:19] <pietro10> e
[02:19] <Dizkonnekted> azolap, np ;)
[02:19] <CaptainTrek> greezmunkey:  wrong highlight
[02:19] <pepee> Daekdroom, ah ok
[02:19] <tertl3> pietro10: you say wired isnt working?
[02:19] <pietro10> no
[02:20] <tertl3> pietro10: that isnt right, it is HP?
[02:20] <pietro10> Dell
[02:20] <pietro10> Precision M6400
[02:20] <tertl3> did wired work with windows?
[02:20] <pietro10> yeah
[02:20] <greezmunkey> CaptainTrek: you wanted to clone part of or all of a filesystem, right?
[02:20]  * tertl3 hopes you have an alternate plan  :)
[02:21] <pietro10> ...
[02:21] <tertl3> pietro10: wired should work I would think
[02:21] <pietro10> yeah that's why
[02:21] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, you never mentioned what happened when you tried the configuration i suggested, pm me again
[02:21] <pietro10> where are the restricted drivers
[02:21] <pietro10> Dizkonnekted: nothing happened
[02:21] <pietro10> it just stayed disconnected
[02:21] <tertl3> pietro10: I think you just need to change some settings
[02:21] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, were you able to ping the modem even?
[02:22] <pietro10> Dizkonnekted: I wasn't able to access it in firefox, so I think not
[02:22] <CaptainTrek> greezmunkey:  just the /home/<myuser> dir off to another partition but not to mount it
[02:23] <lost> i have firefox keeps closing for unknown reasons?
[02:23] <Dizkonnekted> pietro10, try the using the same ip and subnet as before, then in a terminal try pinging the ip of the modem
[02:23] <tertl3> pietro10: you could try to move the driver over with a CD or something?
[02:23] <CaptainTrek> greezmunkey: does a clone have to be done, or can i just sudo cp everything over to make a duplicate of my /home/ dir on my old install
[02:23] <xomp> hey guys, trying to install Teamspeak with sudo apt-get teamspeak-server but am getting this message "Couldn't find package teamspeak-server

[02:25] <eross1> any recommended games I can get for $15-25 for ubuntu, online?

[02:26] <Dizkonnekted> xomp, try looking on the website for installation instructions
[02:26] <greezmunkey> CaptainTrek: your home directory should be portable, but check this - take what you need from it: http://mildtech.net/migrate-users-from-one-linux-machine-to-another/
[02:26] <crdlb> lost: 2.6
[02:26] <pietro10_> okay I can't ping it
[02:26] <pietro10_> Network is inaccessible
[02:27] <xomp> Dizkonnekted, I have, all say I just have to "sudo apt-get install teamspeak-server" and be on my way but that's not the fact.
[02:28] <lost> crdlb, so  should be safe with that one to compile and build without errors
[02:28] <Dizkonnekted> xomp, your probably missing something, you need to add a repository for it 1st, check the site again for instructions on adding it

[02:30] <xomp> Dizkonnekted, nevermind, I'll just do without it on ubuntu and install it on my CentOS VPS since they maintain it there.
[02:30] <xomp> cheers
[02:31] <mom> anybody help for a sec, just upgraded my Mom's computer from Hardy to Lucid, resolution is totally jacked up, hp pavilion vf15
[02:31] <rallias> I have an issue. In the past, i have been able to take two machines that have a shared monitor, keyboard, mouse, and network connection, and it work all fine and dandy (after about an hours setup). However, the machine with the wifi connection won't hold a connection on both wifi and eth0. Any help?
[02:31] <Wolfcastle> what happened to the sun-java6-plugin package???
[02:31] <lost> crdlb, what the sudo cmdline to install default python devel headers then
[02:32] <crdlb> lost: sudo apt-get install python-dev
[02:32] <Stevethepirate> Hey hey, I have 2 network cards, 1 to internal network, 1 to larger network. Every ~30 gigs of data transfered over the NAT'd connection, eth1 will suddenly die. System is somewhat older (9.04) than ideal, but still would like to fix it :) My current (temp) solution is to have a watch'd job to cycle the interface every 300 seconds.
[02:33] <rallias> Stevethepirate: I have the same problem. How do you get it to start up again?
[02:33] <greezmunkey> Stevethepirate: are you running iptables?
[02:34] <Stevethepirate> rallias: I have a watch -n300 'sudo ifconfig eth1 down && sudo ifconfig eth1 <IP_ADDRESS>'
[02:34] <Stevethepirate> greezmunkey: Indeed.
[02:34] <rallias> oh
[02:34] <Stevethepirate> Although the problem outdates any non-standard iptables configs.
[02:34] <rallias> yeah my issue is that when the eth0 thing connects the wifi disconnects
[02:34] <greezmunkey> Stevethepirate: maybe it's blocking there, like a rate limit issue. I know iptables can do that.
[02:35] <runev> I'm guessing 'amd64' is synonymous with a 64 bit system, such as Core 2 Duo, or should I use the x86 image?
[02:35] <onetinsoldier> runev: you are correct. it's amd64 for historical reasons
[02:35] <rallias> greezmunkey: I somehow don't think its the cause. I am having the same issue, and i don't use iptables
[02:35] <Flannel> runev: Right.  amd64 is "64bit" i386 is "32bit" (just like you could run AMD with i386, not just intel)
[02:35] <runev> Roger :-)
[02:36] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I just installed 9.10 and on reboot I get a grub rescue prompt.  How do I fix this?
[02:36] <clop2> hi, upgrading to 10.04 apparently broke my hauppage tv card -- there's appears to be a fixed version in "lucid", whatever that is... is there an easy way for me to get the fixed version of that particular package, without living on the bleeding edge or ubuntu development?
[02:36] <avi_> Anyone want to share some thoughts on Linux on Mac?
[02:36] <doug__> hi
[02:37] <rallias> avi_: heres my thoughts: intel or ppc
[02:37] <doug__> I needsomeassitance getting sound to work on my laptop
[02:37] <Stevethepirate> greezmunkey: It isn't anything to do with an iptables messup.
[02:37] <doug__> I have an toughbook cf-29
[02:37] <avi_> intel, rallias
[02:37] <onetinsoldier> clop2: 10.04 = Lucid  lucid is a codename for the 10.04 version of Ubuntu
[02:37] <rallias> avi_: hold the letter c while booting with a bootable cd in the drive to boot to the cd
[02:38] <clop2> onetinsoldier, hrmn... dang, in that case I don't know what I need to do
[02:38] <avi_> rallias: I know, I was looking for thoughts about it, rather than an installation process.
[02:38] <rallias> i think thats how
[02:38] <crocket> After I returned from suspension on my laptop, the screen was black and only displayed a mouse pointer, and the keyboard was not working. I pressed Alt+Scroll Lock, S, U, B sequentially to reboot. After the reboot, there is no network interface. If I type "ifconfig", I only see "lo". What happened?
[02:38] <onetinsoldier> clop2: wee, it sounded like all you would need to do is install the lucid(10.04) version
[02:38] <rallias> avi_ my thoughts: overpriced
[02:38] <avi_> rallias: ...
[02:39] <doug__> is thereanyone who could help me with gettingmy sound to work
[02:39] <crocket> hey nobody?
[02:39] <clop2> onetinsoldier, i did a distribution upgrade, i thought i was running 10.04 now
[02:39] <avi_> !info soug__
[02:39] <avi_> !details doug__
[02:40] <rallias> well it is if your running linux its overpriced and unexpandable
[02:40] <avi_> !details | doug__
[02:40] <onetinsoldier> clop2: you probably are. you might make sure it's completely upgraded with a coupld of terminal commands tho. anyway.. check out the following command --> lsb_release -a
[02:40] <onetinsoldier> couple*
[02:40] <lost> crdlb, now i need to get openssl to install which cmdline
[02:40] <doug__> I have no sound running ubuntu 9.10 on toughbook cf-29
[02:40] <dsnyders> HI all!  I get a grub rescue prompt on a fresh install.  What went wrong?  How do I fix it?
[02:40] <clop2> onetinsoldier, ah yeah, that says 10.04 lts, codename lucid
[02:40] <rallias> dsnyders: is there any precious data?
[02:41] <dsnyders> rallias, nope.  New machine (well, newish).  New hard drive.
[02:42] <rallias> dsnyders: if that happens to me i break out my linux bible cd. If you don't want to burn another disk, just reinstall
[02:42] <avi_> doug__: Here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244226
[02:43] <onetinsoldier> clop2: ok, good. then you are running 10.04/Lucid. perhaps what you need has a slightly different package name in Lucid? i don't know. plus, on 'upgrades' as opposed to fresh installs, some things can get broken, such as device drivers. usually due to the configuration files from the older version still being present in the newer upgraded version
[02:43] <greezmunkey> Stevethepirate: what brand ethernet are you running?
[02:43] <dsnyders> rallias, reinstalled already.  Same result.  CD worked fine before the new hard drive.
[02:43] <rallias> does anyone have any recommendations of a usb 1.1/2.0 compatible BD-R drive?
[02:43] <rallias> dsnyders: umm... test the disk for defects with the ondisk thing
[02:43] <clop2> onetinsoldier, ah, i will probably try removing everything related to that package and those drivers
[02:43] <crdlb> lost: the package is libssl-dev, I guess; what are you installing anyway?
[02:43] <clop2> and i'll see if a reinstall works after that
[02:44] <rallias> dsnyders: can you get into the os?
[02:45] <dsnyders> rallias, I am at the grub rescue prompt.  I can reboot to the CD if needed.
[02:45] <onetinsoldier> clop2: sounds good. you might want to use the 'purge' command to make sure they are full uninstalled. you know how to use the package manager on command line ok?
[02:45] <clop2> onetinsoldier, yeah, apt-get such and so, i didn't know about the purge option but i'll try that
[02:45] <Stevethepirate> greezmunkey: I am not sure. Let me check.
[02:45] <rallias> dsnyders: try having everything installed on only a swap partition and a main partition. Sometimes grub has "issues" with more than two partitions
[02:46] <onetinsoldier> clop2: even after purging them, afterwards, i would do 'sudo updatedb'... then locate 'haup' or some other similar term
[02:46] <Stevethepirate> 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev 02)
[02:46] <Stevethepirate> 00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6105/VT6106S [Rhine-III] (rev 8b)
[02:46] <onetinsoldier> clop2: without the singel quotes there though
[02:46] <onetinsoldier> single*
[02:47] <greezmunkey> dsnyders: I had that happen to me yesterday, installed 10.04 server 32bit. The install process claimed to have installed grub, but it apparantly didn't. I can boot into the system from the cd, but the boot just hangs without it. I plan to check it out on Tuesday, and likely have to reinstall grub2.
[02:47] <onetinsoldier> clop2: roger.. it's apt- remove --purge <package_name>
[02:47] <onetinsoldier> clop2: roger.. it's apt-get remove --purge <package_name>
[02:47] <rallias> greezmunkey: isn't that what 'sudo apt-get install grub2' is for?
[02:48] <greezmunkey> rallias: That's the wierd part, I checked, and the latest grub claims to be there. I just didn't have time to dig into it yesterday.
[02:48] <rallias> greezmunkey: then 'sudo apt-get reinstall grub2
[02:49] <onetinsoldier> clop2: and to see anything that has been removed, but still has config files left, do this command --> dpkg -l | grep ^rc    (status 'rc' = removed but config files still remain)
[02:49] <lost> crdlb, okay it worked but i got pcap.h header missing when i compile what program it belong to
[02:49] <agricola> Neither SSH nor Mercurial are working on my Ubuntu 10.04 laptop and both of them are giving me the same error message: "Invalid argument." even though I'm using them correctly...
[02:50] <crdlb> lost: what are you building?
[02:50] <lost> crdlb, well i experiment pyrit
[02:50] <bubulein> hi. which tool should i use to install ubuntu from a livecd via commandline?
[02:50] <onetinsoldier> lost: sudo apt-get install libpcap0.8-dev
[02:51] <The-Jag> Hi all, is there a way to save sources list in eclipse?
[02:51] <greezmunkey> Stevethepirate: I found some interesting posts regarding so called low-end ethernet interfaces acting buggy like that, the cures (so far) seem to be driver related, up to and including replacement with "better" supported NICs
[02:51] <lost> i will give it a shot
[02:51] <crdlb> !apt-file | lost
[02:51] <crdlb> might be useful
[02:52] <onetinsoldier> yep... apt-file search pcap.h   :)
[02:52] <scrambled> i am trying to connect to WEP network, I entered the key but i can not connect.  iwconfig  shows the ESSID field scrambled, that a long of string of garbage characters
[02:52] <greezmunkey> Stevethepirate: One post seems to indicate that a possible memory leak in the buffers was the culprit - that's the one where thay replaced the nic which cleared the problem.
[02:52] <The-Jag> anyone?
[02:52] <greezmunkey> s/thay/they
[02:53] <greezmunkey> rallias: agreed, I will likely have to do that.
[02:53] <rallias> how do i identify what kind of cpu i have in Ubuntu?
[02:53] <Stevethepirate> greezmunkey: Hrr, that is quite fail :/ I've never had this problem on Windows.
[02:53] <greezmunkey> rallias: try this;) : cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -e "cpu" -e "model"
[02:53] <bubulein> rallias, cat /proc/cpuinfo or dmsg
[02:54] <lost> thanks to all savy people here. it is working fine now
[02:54] <greezmunkey> Stevethepirate: It cought my attention because I have a box that will require two nicks. I do not want that to be an issue.
[02:54] <onetinsoldier> rallias: or...  sudo lshw -C CPU
[02:54] <Stevethepirate> Heh.
[02:54] <Dizkonnekted> rallias, click System menu, point to administration and then click system monitor, click on the system tab
[02:55] <scrambled> it might  be related to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/575960
[02:55] <rallias> are amd 64 x2 processors 64 bit?
[02:55] <Dizkonnekted> rallias, yes
[02:55] <Stevethepirate> I think it could be a driver issue tbh, the fact that it works on windows somewhat elminates the actual hardware.
[02:55] <dsnyders> rallias, I would imagine that's what the 64 means.
[02:55] <greezmunkey> Stevethepirate: agreed
[02:56] <rallias> dsnyders: not always
[02:56] <mom> Intel  82915G/GV/910GL in 10.04, am I SOL or something
[02:56] <Stevethepirate> I should probably report a potential driver issue in that case. :/ Links anyone?
[02:56] <mom> its at 640x480
[02:57] <rallias> is there any way to tell how many cores are in my GPU in Ubuntu?
[02:57] <Dizkonnekted> rallias, you have a dual core
[02:57] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: 9 gls, 2nd per == barnburner
[02:57] <rallias> dizkonnekted: GPU not CPU
[02:58] <onetinsoldier> mom: not necessarily. there are some workarounds listed here --> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Intel%208xx%20X%20freezes/crashes
[02:58] <Dizkonnekted> rallias, oops sorry my bad, misread lol
[02:58] <Stevethepirate> QQ, easiest way to see which physical network card is being used by eth<x>
[02:58] <bubulein> no way to install from a livecd via cli?
[02:58] <rallias> does anyone know how to identify how many cores are in my gpu?
[02:59] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: i have no idea that that means, but barnburner sounds pretty good, lol
[02:59] <greezmunkey> onetinsoldier: may I pm?
[02:59] <onetinsoldier> greezmunkey: sure
[02:59] <Stevethepirate> What do you mean by "number of cores"?
[02:59] <Dizkonnekted> rallias, what make/model is it? a quick google will give you all the info you need im sure
[02:59] <Stevethepirate> Yeah.
[03:00] <rallias> dizkonnekted: how do i find that out?
[03:00] <Stevethepirate> There is a bit of a debate tbh.
[03:00] <Haraken> :O
[03:00] <Stevethepirate> Like, Nvidia and Ati call a "core" a different thing.
[03:00] <onetinsoldier> rallias: sudo lshw -C Video
[03:01] <MrWise> is ubuntu supposed to take like over 30% of my cpu and 500mb ram while idle? :/
[03:01] <Stevethepirate> MrWise: A lot of ubuntu will sit in swap/ram even when idle.
[03:02] <Dizkonnekted> MrWise, you have a ATI radeon video card?
[03:02] <MrWise> Dizkonnekted; yes
[03:02] <Vilemaxim> Having problems getting a TV Tuner to play audio... I think it's just the audio input that is not passing through correctly. Can anyone give me a few pointers on troubleshooting approaches. "Sound Properties" show input levels changing, but I'm not sure why it doesn't play.
[03:02] <MrWise> ATI Rage XL
[03:02] <MrWise> 8mb
[03:02] <Flannel> MrWise: With regard to the RAM, unused RAM is wasted RAM, so Ubuntu will load stuff in that it thinks you might use so that it'll be quicker if you do.  If you wind up not using it, it just gets overwritten (much like empty RAM would)
[03:02] <MrWise> onboard
[03:02] <MrWise> Flannel; ah, well, yeah makes sense
[03:03] <Dizkonnekted> MrWise, you need to disable compiz, right click your desktop, click change desktop background, then click visual effects tab and set it to none
[03:03] <Haraken> I'm currently trying to install ubuntu 10.04 with two sata drives.  I am using the alternate installer so that I can create a software raid but the installer is only showing sda even though I can see /dev/sdb in another terminal
[03:04] <MrWise> Dizkonnekted; visual effects are on none already
[03:04] <MrWise> in fact
[03:04] <MrWise> visual effects CAN'T be enabled
[03:04] <ausnomer> my apt-get install is working but the install button in Ubuntu Software Centre isn't doing anything... :/
[03:04] <MrWise> :<
[03:04] <lost> any rainbow tables generator available for linux
[03:05] <mom> onetinsoldier that didn't really help, it doesn't list any drivers
[03:05] <Dizkonnekted> MrWise, check your running processes and sort them by CPU usage and see which is taking up most processor time
[03:05] <nolan_> hey so I'm having trouble getting the rotating cube in compiz to work I think its an issue with drivers I have an ATI mobility radeon 2100 video card. I installed the proprietary ATI drivers because the default ones eff up with dual monitors but I don't think they're installed right because I can't access the catalyst control center ati says you need a bunch of packets that I can't find with apt-get anyone have suggestions?
[03:05] <onetinsoldier> mom: i know, that it lists using the 'vesa' driver there as a workaround
[03:06] <rallias> ChanServ went hyper
[03:06] <MrWise> Dizkonnekted; it shows that only the system monitor is taking any CPU
[03:06] <MrWise> this is while I'm running the update manager, hmm
[03:06] <undecim> Is there any easy way to rotate an entire svg in inkscape?
[03:07] <Fudge> hi using a powerpc lucix cd which is prob basically the same how do u launch a text installer over ssh and importantly, is it still possible to use lukes accessability profile with it?
[03:07] <doug__> yeah, my sound still isn't working
[03:07] <doug__> I instaled oss
[03:07] <doug__> is there a way to test it
[03:07] <Dizkonnekted> MrWise, what processor do you have?
[03:07] <MrWise> intel p4
[03:08] <MrWise> 2.6ghz!
[03:08] <doug__> now I can't even get to the sound menu
[03:08] <nolan_> anyone have experience with getting ati video cards working properly?
[03:08] <doug__> I followed this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244226
[03:08] <Vilemaxim> Fudge, I no nothing about the accessability profile... But I have installed over ssh before
[03:08] <doug__> to instructions to install oss
[03:08] <undecim> nolan_: Mine has always worked fine. What problem do you have?
[03:09] <doug__> I still do not have sound
[03:09] <doug__> and cannto access the sound menu
[03:09] <nolan_> dual monitors won't work properly with the default
[03:09] <Fudge> Vilemaxim  whats the command ?
[03:09] <Vilemaxim> Fudge, are you booting a live cd, then sshing in?
[03:09] <Fudge> yes mate
[03:09] <doug__> is there a way to test this oss or access a control panel of some kind for it now that it's installed
[03:10] <nolan_> I tried installing the proprietary driver which was a nightmare to say the least
[03:10] <Dizkonnekted> nolan_, send me a pm and ill send you 2 links that should help
[03:11] <Vilemaxim> Fudge, it has been a while so I'm sorry if the details are a little flaky, but basicily I used debootstrap. Give me a sec and I might find a howto

[03:12] <Fudge> ok mate thanks
[03:13] <Fudge> thankyou Vilemaxim
[03:13] <Vilemaxim> Fudge, I had to create the partitions myself... mount them, and put an install using that
[03:13] <Fudge> np
[03:13] <Fudge> thats ok
[03:13] <Vilemaxim> Fudge, that will help you
[03:13] <Vilemaxim> ?
[03:13] <ausnomer> OK, this is really weird. When I open software centre from the menu it will not do anything when I click 'install' on an app. It doesn't even come up with an error it just sits there. When I sudo software-center I can click install and it works perfectly. Please tell me how I can fix this?
[03:14] <doug__> I need some helping getting open sound system to work
[03:14] <doug__> I have removed alsa and installed the oss deb package but I still getno sound
[03:14] <deco> ausnomer: was the user you are using created during the install ?
[03:15] <doug__> I can't even access the sound control panel
[03:15] <ausnomer> deco, yes
[03:15] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Have you tried padsp(1)?
[03:15] <ausnomer> deco, installations via the software center from the menu worked a few times and then it just stopped working.
[03:15] <doug__> AJ_Z8 Idon't know what that is
[03:16] <doug__> is that a terminal command?
[03:16] <deco> ausnomer: oh hmmm wow this is weird
[03:16] <ausnomer> deco, I may have done a daily update since it was working.
[03:16] <deco> ausnomer: are you using 10.04 ?
[03:16] <chuy_max> ausnomer, AFAIK, you shouldn't open GUI programs using sudo, use gksudo instead. mmmmm, perhaps the shortcut is not asking for root permission?, I would check how the shortcut is configured (I'm not sure how to do that though, never messed with GNOME panel, I prefer the old fashioned "run an app from a terminal"
[03:16] <AJ_Z0> doug__: It's a command which effectively provides a ld.so wrapper to make programs which use /dev/dsp work with pulseaudio
[03:17] <ausnomer> deco, yes
[03:17] <doug__> AJ_Z8 yeah I typed padsp at thd terminal and it seemed to do nothing
[03:18] <ausnomer> chuy_max, ok.. I'll google 'shortcut root permission ubuntu'.
[03:18] <doug__> AJ_Z8 also I may have removed pulse audio
[03:18] <AJ_Z0> 8 != 0
[03:18] <starghost> Hey what kernel version is default with the newest ubuntu? vboxing it and trying to run guest additions

[03:18] <InvaderZim> starghost:  2.6.32-22
[03:18] <starghost> thanks!
[03:19] <deco> ausnomer: start software-center from the terminal
[03:19] <starcoder|Q> huh?
[03:19] <AJ_Z0> doug__: If you want to fight the sound system, then I wish you luck. If you don't, then then you now have one more option
[03:19] <deco> just to check it's not a shortcut problem
[03:19] <InvaderZim> misfire
[03:19] <ausnomer> does anyone know a ubuntu app that converts h264 back to dvd5?
[03:19] <doug__> AJ_Z0, what is that?
[03:19] <starcoder|Q> lol InvaderZim =P
[03:19] <InvaderZim> :p
[03:19] <chuy_max> ausnomer, I would do this first: run "software-center" without sudo, and see if it gives you the same behavior as if you opened the program from the panel. if it gives you the same behavior, then, it is likely it has a problem with permissions.
[03:19] <onetinsoldier> !info linux-image-generic
[03:19] <AJ_Z0> doug__: It's a pronoun
[03:20] <InvaderZim> ausnomer: ffmpeg and dvdcreator
[03:20] <doug__> AJ_Z0, haha what's the option though
[03:20] <AJ_Z0> doug__: The option is padsp
[03:20] <ausnomer> InvaderZim, thanks
[03:20] <starghost> Worked Invader :) thanks again
[03:20] <ausnomer> chuy_max, deco, ok thanks I'll try it.
[03:20] <doug__> AJ_Z0, whatis supposed to happen when I type padsp?
[03:20] <InvaderZim> starghost: np
[03:20] <doug__> AJ_Z0, it returns nothing
[03:21] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Do I really need to tell you how to use the manual?
[03:21] <doug__> AJ_Z0, probably yes
[03:21] <AJ_Z0> doug__: # man man
[03:21] <AJ_Z0> (It's not at all gay)
[03:22] <chuy_max> ausnomer, you might also want to check out the app alacarte. it is for messing up with gnome menus.
[03:22] <ausnomer> chuy_max, ok

[03:23] <ausnomer> does anyone know how to check the version of a package in the software center before it is installed?
[03:23] <InvaderZim> time to change pass...
[03:23] <AJ_Z0> The unix manual has always been just that - a fully typeset printable manual, divided into sections [the number in ()s often given with the page name]
[03:23] <mztriz> wrong tab...
[03:23] <mztriz> Anyway
[03:23] <doug__> AJ_Z0, how to you exit one of thosemanuals and return toprompt?
[03:23] <mztriz> I have a question about 10.04 and wifi encryption
[03:24] <extor> If I want to zap everything on a line after a space, how do I do it?  sed 's/[ ]//g' filename will just wipe out the space but what can I use rather than [ ] to represent the first space followed by everything on that line after the space?
[03:24] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Use whatever key exits out of your $PAGER. Try "q"
[03:24] <doug__> AJ_Z0, yes q worked
[03:24] <mztriz> I tried to connect my computer to my wifi and it doesn't work.
[03:24] <deco> ausnomer: when you click more info
[03:24] <deco> ausnomer: at the bottom
[03:24] <InvaderZim> extor: remove the g
[03:24] <deco> it shows the version number
[03:24] <InvaderZim> extor: maybe...
[03:25] <AJ_Z0> extor: s/ .*//
[03:25] <doug__> AJ_Z0, by the way I typed padsp man man and it got me the manuak for the manual command
[03:25] <doug__> AJ_Z0, my point being just in case you didn't notice I don't have a clue
[03:25] <mztriz> Nickserv identify
[03:25] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Try doing what i suggested and not making up random commands in the hope that they might work
[03:25] <Christophfferr> which one is rizon?
[03:25] <extor> .*
[03:26] <ausnomer> when I run software center from the terminal without sudo it gives me the following error message:
[03:26] <ausnomer> /usr/share/software-center/softwarecenter/apt/aptcache.py:40: GtkWarning: gtk_container_add: assertion `GTK_IS_CONTAINER (container)' failed gtk.main_iteration()
[03:26] <InvaderZim> hehe floodbot caused a flood
[03:26] <mztriz> I'm trying to connect my computer to my wireless network but it's not working. It keeps asking me for the password over and over but I'm using the correct key and I've tested it on other machines it works fine.
[03:26] <doug__> AJ_Z0, no need to be rude and you din't tell me how to use the man comand
[03:26] <extor> I wonder why .* works yet [ .*] fails?
[03:26] <InvaderZim> mztriz: is it hidden?
[03:26] <mztriz> InvaderZim no it's not hidden
[03:26] <pietro10> Is ndiswrapper a kernel module?
[03:27] <mztriz> I can see the network and as a note the wifi card works with networks that arent' encrypted
[03:27] <InvaderZim> pietro10: no
[03:27] <AJ_Z0> doug__: We all start clueless and some stay that way. That page for man(1) tell you how to use the man command. To read padsp(1) you can simply use "man padsp"
[03:27] <pietro10> ok, can someone link me to the 10.04 DEB for it?
[03:27] <pietro10> directly
[03:27] <InvaderZim> pietro10: http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[03:27] <pietro10> thanks
[03:28] <doug__> AJ_Z0, yeah I figured all that out by now
[03:28] <InvaderZim> mztriz: which encryption you use
[03:28] <mztriz> InvaderZim It's wep
[03:28] <doug__> AJ_Z0, so basically this is some program that Iuse to run other programs and sound should work if I do so
[03:28] <pietro10> huh
[03:28] <AJ_Z0> extor: Regexps are a strange symbol language worth learning if you spend enough time using the unix toolset
[03:28] <pietro10> there doesn't seem to be ndiswrapper
[03:29] <onetinsoldier> clop2: howdy. you get the hauppage driver/software figured out and fixed up yet?
[03:29] <extor> yeah I should learn them...I really really should
[03:29] <tyler_d4> on my 10.04 server I am getting modprobe fatal: error inserting padlock_sha .... : no such device..  I cannot get into grub on boot, and it won't continue
[03:29] <tyler_d4> ?
[03:29] <extor> I love unix even though I have been a noob for over a decade :(
[03:29] <InvaderZim> mztriz: have you tried doing it by iwconfig?
[03:30] <ausnomer> chuy_max, deco, when I run software center from the terminal without sudo it gives that error message in the terminal, and it has the same behaviour as running it from the menu (i.e. clicking install does nothing).
[03:30] <onetinsoldier> pietro10: try --> ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[03:30] <mztriz> InvaderZim I will try again
[03:30] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Right. I recently used to to run ezqake, which had trouble with /dev/dsp getting locked. I simply ran "pasdsp ezquake ..." and it just worked; though I think there was some loss of signal in the process probably due to sample rate
[03:30] <pietro10> actually something else first
[03:31] <mztriz> InvaderZim what exactly am I looking for? I only see information on eth1
[03:31] <onetinsoldier> pietro10: ndiswrapper-common and ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[03:32] <ahmeni> is there a way to get grub-pc to ignore specific partitions in the os-prober?
[03:32] <ahmeni> keeps picking up my recovery partition and its dangerous as all heck
[03:33] <InvaderZim> mztriz: hmmm you would have to type like iwconfig eth1 managed essid your_ssid_name_here key your_wep_key
[03:33] <InvaderZim> mztriz: to test how it goes
[03:33] <onetinsoldier> ahmeni: i think so... i think in the following file --> /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[03:33] <mztriz> InvaderZim Okay I will try that
[03:33] <doug__> AJ_Z0,  I get this error (rhythmbox:10549): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
[03:33] <InvaderZim> mztriz: check man
[03:34] <mztriz> InvaderZim okay
[03:34] <ahmeni> onetinsoldier: that seems to just be a file for custom entries?
[03:34] <onetinsoldier> ahmeni: yes. i don't know my way around grub2 really, but thought pointing that file out might help you
[03:35] <yanick_> hi, where do I have to go to add my computer in my Ubuntu One account? The "tutorial" says that I need to click on the "Add computer" button, but I don't see that button anywhere (I am actually logged in, at https://one.ubuntu.com/account/)
[03:37] <xangua> yanick_: in the indicator session applet, at the top right of the panel
[03:37] <mztriz> InvaderZim it says "Error for Wireless request set ESSID"
[03:37] <yanick_> xangua, that opens a window saying that i'm not connected. If I click on "manage account", it brings me back to that https://one.ubuntu.com/account/ page
[03:38] <mztriz> InvaderZim SET failed on device eth1 ; Operation not permitted"
[03:38] <InvaderZim> mztriz: you need to type sudo before the command
[03:38] <yanick_> https://one.ubuntu.com/support/installation/
[03:38] <InvaderZim> mztriz: forgott to mention it
[03:38] <yanick_> there's no "Add this computer" button there ^^
[03:38] <Jordan_U> ahmeni: Easiest thing is to copy the entries you want to keep to /etc/grub.d/40_custom then either set "GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=true" or "sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober" to disable os-prober.
[03:39] <mztriz> InvaderZim Okay I tried it with sudo and it accepted the command but just took me back to the prompt
[03:39] <[Adam|Miner]> I have like 50 websites I want a 500x400 screenshot of, is there an easy way to do it? (Like some program (prefferably with a gui))
[03:39] <InvaderZim> mztriz: now you're supposedly connected to your wifi
[03:40] <InvaderZim> mztriz: if you use dhcp, try dhclient or whatever you use for dhcp
[03:40] <ahmeni> Jordan_U: that's clunky but it'll do , thanks :)
[03:40] <Jordan_U> ahmeni: You're welcome.
[03:40] <InvaderZim> mztriz: you can check with iwconfig eth1... if it shows power, db, essid, etc. youre in
[03:40] <mztriz> InvaderZim it's not installed by default in lucid and I can't get the PC online to install anything
[03:40] <Dizkonnekted> [Adam|Miner], you can use compiz screenshot feature
[03:40] <xangua> yanick_: it should wbe working now then, do you see an 'ubuntu one' folder in your home¿¿
[03:40] <mztriz> InvaderZim Also I've connected this computer to the internet before with a network that wasn't encrypted
[03:41] <[Adam|Miner]> Dizkonnekted: But would it be easy to do 50 sites with it in less than like 10 minutes?
[03:41] <InvaderZim> mztriz: whats not installed by def?
[03:41] <yanick_> xangua, yes, but the Ubuntu One window still says that I'm not connected
[03:41] <_ba> you can have a dhcp server for a network not directly connected to the server right?
[03:42] <Dizkonnekted> [Adam|Miner], it means doing them all by hand though, are you looking for something to do it automatically?
[03:42] <[Adam|Miner]> Dizkonnekted: I was hoping so, or at least in bulk
[03:42] <Jordan_U> +
[03:42]  * [Adam|Miner] thinks I just said the same thing 2 ways ;/
[03:43] <greezmunkey> [Adam|Miner]: scrot is a command line tool for taking screenshots. See the man page and this tutorial. You might also want to look at scripting the browser. There are firefox add-ons that take screenshots such as screengrab (which can capture the entire page if you want, not just the visible bit) and you could then script the browser with greasemonkey to take the screenshots.
[03:43] <Dizkonnekted> [Adam|Miner], i dont know of anything like that sorry :\
[03:43] <christos`> dizkonnected still in here are you an op? i cant see bause im using xchat i cant see the names lol
[03:43] <christos`> because*
[03:43] <greezmunkey> [Adam|Miner]: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/columns/how_to_take_screenshots_with_scrot
[03:43] <[Adam|Miner]> Thanks, I'll look at both
[03:43] <Dizkonnekted> christos`, im here
[03:44] <Dizkonnekted> greezmunkey, good suggestions
[03:44] <mztriz> InvaderZim the wifi works fine at my house but this isn't my computer it's for someone else  and they have a wep key on their netowrk. I've put in the password etc but it just keeps asking me for it over and over but I know it's right I've tested the network with (this computer) and my cell phone
[03:44] <christos`> no i mean are you still in here meaning you on for a while are you an op? because im using xchat i cant see names
[03:44] <InvaderZim> mztriz: you're in gnome?
[03:44] <greezmunkey> Dizkonnekted: I stole that off the net.
[03:44] <mztriz> InvaderZim yes
[03:44] <cenasfixes> Quit
[03:45] <mztriz> InvaderZim it's a fresh install of lucid
[03:45] <Dizkonnekted> christos`, im not an op but ill be here for a bit, im using xchat too and i can see all of the names lol
[03:45] <InvaderZim> mztriz: I'm no expert in gnome as I don't use it... but, isn't it asking for the gnome-keyring password?
[03:45] <christos`> oh huh how i cant see no names on the right like you do on the mirc for windows.
[03:45] <Haraken> can someone help me with installing ubuntu 10.04 with mdadm raid0?  I had completed an install using the alternate installer and upon rebooting it dropped me into a busy box console instead of the ubuntu gui
[03:45] <Dizkonnekted> greezmunkey, lol www.letmegooglethatforyou.com? :P
[03:46] <pietro10> ugggggggggggggh
[03:47] <theadmin> Hm. It seems that if I change /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts modifies automatically. How on earth?
[03:47] <pietro10> not even ndiswrapper whatever worked
[03:47] <pietro10> is there a way I can remove it completely
[03:47] <pietro10> what I didt
[03:47] <pietro10> $sudo ndiswrapper -i ~/.driver/wifi/DRIVER/bcmwl5.inf
[03:47] <pietro10> $sudo ndiswrapper -l
[03:47] <pietro10> $sudo ndiswrapper -m
[03:47] <pietro10> $sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[03:47] <FloodBot3> pietro10: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:47] <FloodBot4> pietro10: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:47] <christos`> pietro10 lol wtf
[03:47] <Dizkonnekted> InvaderZim, thats your password, it might also ask you for access to the keyring which you can allow once or permanently
[03:47] <Haraken> lol
[03:47] <mztriz> InvaderZim Yes
[03:48] <christos`> invaderzim what a great cartoon
[03:48] <InvaderZim> christos`: yes =)
[03:48] <mztriz> InvaderZim the gnomekey password is just the account's password right?
[03:48] <InvaderZim> mztriz: right
[03:48] <theadmin> mztriz: If it's the login keyring, yes
[03:48] <pietro10> I followed the instructions here
[03:48] <pietro10> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/1390
[03:48] <hiexpo> christos`,  - hes clueless
[03:49] <theadmin> floodbots are going crazy again :/
[03:49] <InvaderZim> Doesn't nm-applet sets up a keyring password of its own?
[03:49] <yanick_> this Ubuntu One thing is foobar
[03:49] <bastid_raZor> theadmin: maybe its a good thing that it changes.. it can break sudo if they are different.
[03:49] <christos`> who is clueless?
[03:50] <theadmin> bastid_raZor: It is a good thing, I just don't get how on earth it is possible
[03:50] <lenovo> hi
[03:50] <onetinsoldier> theadmin: you need to change both.. /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[03:50] <christos`> hiexpo who is clueless?
[03:50] <hiexpo> christos`,  - pietro10  hes been on that issue now for about 4 hours
[03:50] <Dizkonnekted> yanick_,  whats the problem with it?
[03:51] <pietro10> the problem is this
[03:51] <pietro10> - wifi needs restricted driver
[03:51] <pietro10> - can't connected via wired because modem only allows one MAC address to connect
[03:51] <pietro10> at all
[03:51] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, I can't connect my computer with my account
[03:51] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, there is no "Add this computer" button anywhere
[03:52] <pietro10> anyway
[03:52] <mztriz> InvaderZim I just tried it again after restarting the computer. It only asks for the login keyring once and then it just keeps prompting for the wep key (which I know is correct)
[03:52] <pietro10> how do I remove ndiswrapper
[03:52] <pietro10> the way I set it up
[03:52] <christos`> lol im been using linux for like 2 days now man i going to stick to this and hopefully i can answer some questions one day lol
[03:52] <pietro10> just remove it with dpkg -r and hope it works/
[03:52] <pietro10> ?
[03:52] <Seven_Six_Two> pietro10,  if it's a standard SA cable modem or similar, you can do it with diff mac, but you have to do full reset
[03:52] <theadmin> pietro10: dpkg -r?! I think you use sudo apt-get remove packagename
[03:52] <InvaderZim> mztriz: maybe you're typing in the wrong keyring pass... still should work when it asks for the wep key
[03:52] <pietro10> theadmin: except I can't connect to the internet
[03:53] <pietro10> so I installed the two locally
[03:53] <pietro10> with dpkg
[03:53] <bastid_raZor> christos`: this is the perfect place to watch and follow along.
[03:53] <pietro10> (ndiswhatever-common and -utils)
[03:53] <theadmin> pietro10: uh. Still, removing them with apt-get should be possible, also use gdebi to install packages locally
[03:53] <greezmunkey> mztriz: in network manager, disable wireless, delete the profile for the AP you are trying to connect to, restart network manager and try again. ;)
[03:53] <Dizkonnekted> yanick_, if you use the web login on a new machine it should allow you to add the new pc straight after login
[03:53] <pietro10> ok
[03:53] <InvaderZim> mztriz: sorry but I don't know much about gnome-keyring you have to ask to these fellow gnomers here
[03:53] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, I'm following this "guide" here https://one.ubuntu.com/support/installation/ and at step 8, there is no "add this computer" button anywhere
[03:54] <Seven_Six_Two> christos`, yeah, this is the place to be. been hooked for about 7 years, and most of my help has been here or a few other general linux channels. now I come back to help when I can
[03:54] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, it did not
[03:54] <greezmunkey> Blackhawks win
[03:54] <pietro10> trying this one last time using the instructions here
[03:54] <pietro10> http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/changemac
[03:54] <InvaderZim> mztriz: if you just wanna try I would suggest installing wicd (which removes the network manager applet, so you need to reinstall it if you want it back, which will remove wicd again - they cant coexist)
[03:54] <christos`> seven_Six_Two yeah im already hooked
[03:55] <Dizkonnekted> yanick_, are you sure the computer has not already been added?
[03:55] <theadmin> christos`: Use the tab key :P Type first few letters of a nickname, hit tab to autocomplete it
[03:55] <Seven_Six_Two> pietro10, are you trying to change your mac because your modem won't let you connect?
[03:55] <theadmin> theadmin:
[03:55] <theadmin> err
[03:55] <theadmin> disregard that
[03:56] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, I get this message when I go to the "Computers added to this account" : You haven't added any computers or devices to your Ubuntu One account
[03:56] <christos`> what i dont get it theadmin i press tab then say for your name type t then tab again?
[03:56] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, though I have a "Ubuntu One" directory in my home folder....
[03:57] <theadmin> christos`: Try typing "thea" and hitting tab
[03:57] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, the Ubuntu One window says that I'm not connected
[03:57] <theadmin> christos`: without quotes of course
[03:57] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Since it's the default audio player in Ubuntu, rhythmbox shoudl work just fine with pulseaduio
[03:57] <jack> does frank lichtenheld already know packages.ubuntu.com is fucked?
[03:57] <christos`> theadmin, oh wow i see nice
[03:57] <jack> some weeks now...
[03:57] <bazhang> jack, watch the language
[03:58] <onetinsoldier> christos`: now, you no longer hooked on just Ubuntu Linux.. now theadmin just got you hooked on IRC as well :-)
[03:58] <jack> bazhang, answer the content :x
[03:58] <doug__> AJ_Z0, I thinkI removed pulse audio
[03:58] <christos`> onetinsoldier, yeah i know right lol
[03:58] <pietro10_> ugh
[03:58] <pietro10_> not even that worked.
[03:59] <pietro10> but it showed the MAC address spoofed
[03:59] <pietro10> what the hell
[03:59] <doug__> AJ_Z0, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound I followed this
[03:59] <AJ_Z0> doug__: Like I said earlier, if you want to start messing with the sound system, then you're likely on a solo adventure. Out of curiosity, what are you trying to achieve?
[03:59] <Dizkonnekted> yanick_, thats even after you log in via the Applications, Internet, Ubuntu one?
[03:59] <christos`> Is there a way to show the names on the right like the mirc for windows im using xchat*
[03:59] <doug__> I'm just trying to get sound to work
[03:59] <yanick_> Dizkonnekted, yes
[04:00] <pietro10> christos`: it should be on by default :S
[04:00] <tertl3> doug, check out JACK for sound
[04:00] <pietro10> ugh
[04:00] <pietro10> I give up
