[00:00] <Chousuke> nostalgicBadger: :P
[00:00] <Hillshum> Chousuke: Lots of JavaScript on a page can slow it down a bit
[00:00] <Chousuke> nostalgicBadger: modern browsers are fast, but not miracle workers.
[00:00] <nostalgicBadger> Chousuke - hahaha
[00:00] <Hillshum> Modern CPUs help
[00:01] <nostalgicBadger> Facebook needs an HTML. because the devs don't know how to utilize js.
[00:01] <niten> That's as much about loading as it is about interpreting JavaScript
[00:01] <syk> where can i get xchat-gnome help?
[00:01] <nostalgicBadger> HTML mode*
[00:01] <erUSUL> syk: ask here
[00:01] <syk> is there any way to get a nicklist in xchat gnome?
[00:02] <Hillshum> Anyway, this app is running faster now
[00:02] <lstarnes> syk: I thought it did have a nicklist by default
[00:02] <lstarnes> syk: have you tried the regular version of xchat?
[00:02] <Hillshum> sky: Below the list of channels, click where it says how many users there are
[00:03] <asm`> hi - im trying to install kubuntu 64-bit with Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7.. I get an error that the iso is not 64-bit, when I clearly downloaded the 64-bit version
[00:03] <nostalgicBadger> you're trying to run kubuntu 64 bit on Windows 7?
[00:03] <lstarnes> asm`: it might be caused by virtual pc not supporting 64-bit
[00:03] <asm`> well thats shitty.
[00:03] <asm`> nostaglic: yes why not?
[00:03] <nostalgicBadger> asm - why?
[00:04] <lstarnes> asm`: please refrain from using that kind of language
[00:04] <asm`> okay sory
[00:04] <syk> lstarnes, yeah i like the gnome version better, just wish i knew how to get the nicklist. would you happen to know where i can find the xchat-gnome directory to edit the theme?
[00:04] <asm`> let me google this
[00:04] <nostalgicBadger> i'm trying to imagine what the point of running linux in windows 7 would be.
[00:04] <lstarnes> syk: I do not know
[00:04] <sebsebseb> asm`: VirtulPC does not like Linux much
[00:04] <sebsebseb> asm`: also any version of Windows as the host :(
[00:04] <lstarnes> syk: but in my experience xchat-gnome tends to not be as complete as the original xchat
[00:05] <asm`> sebsebseb: thats not true. i virtulized the same iso just fine when i had vista. but i was using VMWare.
[00:05] <Hillshum> syk: Did you see what I said? Below the channel view
[00:05] <sebsebseb> asm`: exactly
[00:05] <Hillshum> asm`: VirtualBox?
[00:05] <sebsebseb> asm`: as I just said  Virtualpc  tends not to work that well with Linux
[00:05] <asm`> yes well i dont like vmware.
[00:06] <asm`> i dont mind it but i couldnt do true full-screen
[00:06] <syk> Hillshum: i just seen that, thank you
[00:06] <sebsebseb> asm`: Virtualbox  with Windows as the guest, and  Linux as the host?  :)
[00:06] <lstarnes> asm`: are you using a 64-bit version of windows 7?
[00:06] <asm`> yes.
[00:06] <syk> Hillshum: any idea where i can edit the theme in xchat-gnome?
[00:06] <ioky> Hi I trying edit my xorg to setup my two mouse, but it doesn't seem make any difference, i wonder why
[00:06] <asm`> i will try VirtualBox.. because I didnt like VMWare.
[00:06] <ioky> here is my xog.conf
[00:07] <asm`> I couldnt find 'Vmware Tools' to install on Kubuntu..
[00:07] <Hillshum> syk:  No :/
[00:07] <asm`> you cant go full-screen without those tools.
[00:07] <asm`> and your VM looks like crap.
[00:07] <asm`> can i go full screen with Sun VB ?
[00:07] <sebsebseb> asm`: Virtualbox is better

[00:07] <asm`> okay..
[00:07] <sebsebseb> !language | asm`
[00:07] <asm`> yes I had Sun VB at one time..
[00:07] <dtam> i love virtualbox.. make sure you install the nonfree version
[00:07] <asm`> what is the non-free version?
[00:07] <sebsebseb> asm`: and I hope  Linux in a vm is only for testing :)   I suggest putting Ubuntu 9.10 on as host OS when it's released at the end of October :)
[00:08] <lstarnes> asm`: the sun version
[00:08] <dtam> the nonfree version has usb support
[00:08] <sebsebseb> asm`: they are both free as in price, just one version is open source and the other is closed source, that one also has USB support for example
[00:08] <asm`> sebsebseb: tbh, i want to try beryl and KDE.
[00:08] <nostalgicBadger> asm': why are you trying to run ubuntu within windows anyway?
[00:08] <asm`> because i like ubuntu
[00:08] <sebsebseb> asm`: Beryl is no longer made,  that got forked back into Compiz Fushion
[00:08] <nostalgicBadger> asm`: so why don't you just install ubuntu?
[00:08] <asm`> because i game a lot
[00:08] <linxeh> nostalgicBadger: many people run linux on a windows host to get around hardware issues
[00:09] <asm`> and i like windows 7
[00:09] <sebsebseb> asm`: well depending on what games you play, you may be able to get them working well in Wine, or  possibily in a Windows virtual machine even,  but if 3D well hmm, but  3D support is getting there to
[00:09] <asm`> moo: os: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate - (6.1.7600) up: 21hrs 22mins 11secs cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (x64) at 3003MHz gfx: NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT 512MB res: 1440x900 32bit 60Hz ram: 1346/4095.1MB (32.86%) [|||-------] hdd: C:\ 50.37GB/73.14GB D:\ 296.6GB/596.17GB E:\ 515.96GB/522.93GB G:\ 658.13GB/931.51GB net: Atheros AR8121_AR8113_AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller[NDIS6.20] - 100MB/s 2.47GB In 112.84MB Out

[00:09] <linxeh> Windows7 = Vista, as should have been
[00:09] <asm`> so are you guys saying that sun's version of VB doesnt have USB support??
[00:09] <sebsebseb> linxeh: :)
[00:10] <linxeh> asm`: yes
[00:10] <dtam> and with windows you will need to install antivirus and antispyware.. and so and so forth which are performance killers
[00:10] <lstarnes> asm`: it does
[00:10] <asm`> yes i agree that windows 7 is vista SP3..
[00:10] <linxeh> asm`: it doesnt have USB pass through
[00:10] <lstarnes> asm`: but the open source edition doesn't
[00:10] <nostalgicBadger> Hardware issues? You can just use ndiswrapper to get around driver issues.
[00:10] <sebsebseb> asm`: the open source doesn't, but the closed source does
[00:10] <asm`> okay
[00:10] <asm`> but nonetheless
[00:10] <asm`> win 7 is smooooooooooooth
[00:10] <asm`> maybe not as much as linux.. but i mean.. you dont even have to install drivers
[00:10] <monster> i heard it blue screens alot.
[00:11] <asm`> as long as you have a lan connection, it installs all your drivers for you as you plug stuff in
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: of course you have to do drivers for Windows 7, also good luck trying to run a lot of older XP stuff
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: you may find you can't just do that :) :D
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: there solution for this issue is actsaully virtualization anyway off topic
[00:11] <stickapotomus> anyone in here ever use dual wireless cards with ubuntu?
[00:11] <asm`> sebseb: it comes with a free XP mode
[00:11] <linxeh> asm`: you are lucky then. It was appauling in beta for us. haven't got retail  yet to see if things are btter
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: yes that's what I am on about the xp mode
[00:11] <sebsebseb> asm`: which is really virtualization
[00:12] <asm`> windows isnt perfect, but they started 20 years ahead of linux
[00:12] <asm`> so they have market share, its not rocket science
[00:12] <sebsebseb> asm`: not exactly true
[00:12] <nostalgicBadger> depends on what you mean by "started"
[00:12] <asm`> well of course the windows kernel is based largely on unix
[00:12] <asm`> no doubt on that
[00:12] <asm`> but unix etc was always free
[00:12] <sebsebseb> asm`: well the Linux kernel is releasd in 1993 or so, but  Linux distros are based on Unix which goes back to the 70's when only clever companies used computers, anyway off topic
[00:12] <sebsebseb> !ot
[00:12] <asm`> they gui'd it up and started charing
[00:12] <linxeh> asm`: windows is hardly unix
[00:13] <Chousuke> unix wasn't always free either. :/
[00:13] <asm`> not even the kernel?
[00:13] <erUSUL> sebsebseb: 1991 to be exact
[00:13] <Hillshum> asm`: Nope
[00:13] <stickapotomus> anyone have any issues with using dual wireless network cards in ubuntu?
[00:13] <nostalgicBadger> windows doesn't have the market share because it's older. windows has the market share because a five year old could install and run it
[00:13] <Chousuke> the original UNIX was proprietary
[00:13]  * linxeh invites asm` to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:13] <dtam> i agree with badger
[00:13] <asm`> im there linxeh
[00:13] <kyuss> Hey guys I need some help here. My system freezes when I open the display properties
[00:13] <sebsebseb> nostalgicBadger: well it's not that difficult to install Ubuntu and most other distros
[00:14] <Chousuke> nostalgicBadger: windows got the marketshare because it was cheaper.
[00:14] <asm`> nostaglic come by into ubuntuofftpoic
[00:14] <Chousuke> nostalgicBadger: a LOT cheaper.
[00:14] <dtam> they made it easy for normal newbie users
[00:14] <sebsebseb> Chousuke: it has the market share, because it was there at the right time,  Linux  wasn't ready in the  early 90's for average computer users,  anyway  #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue this discusssion
[00:14] <ioky> I am trying to setup my two mouse but it doesn't taking any effect, here is my x.org http://paste.ubuntu.com/266356/
[00:15] <kyuss> what info do you guys need?
[00:15] <CoJaBo-Aztec> fccf: Ok, looks like it works!
[00:15] <CoJaBo-Aztec> fccf: Is 3.00 the latest version?
[00:17] <treble54> whenever I find background images made for the gnome panels, they always never stretch the full bar, but instead make patterns
[00:17] <treble54> is there a way I can force them to stretch?
[00:18] <stickapotomus> well, damn. this channel is dead.
[00:18] <treble54> :(
[00:18] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: not that busy right now, but  far from dead
[00:19] <treble54> hehe
[00:19] <kyuss> anyone know why my system is freezing when I open the display properties?
[00:19] <stickapotomus> so i see.
[00:19] <h2g2bob> hello all - this isn't really an ubuntu question, but is the g_list_nth_data line on http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLove/DragNDropTutorial a bug? It just seems unlikely. Anyone know anything about d-n-d in gnome?
[00:20] <tomas1> hey guys question i have troble playing flash games
[00:20] <sebsebseb> !details |  tomas1
[00:21] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb, are you an admin of this channel?
[00:22] <kyuss> so were just looking the other way with my question then?
[00:22] <kyuss> gotcha
[00:22] <asm`> hey where do i get Sun VB that is closed source? www.virtualbox.com or www.sun.com ??
[00:22] <stickapotomus> kyuss, i'd help, but i just installed ubuntu a week ago
[00:22] <stickapotomus> *grin*
[00:22] <tomas1> Ubuntu 9.04 I tryed to play a flash/Java game on facebook i installed all the java plugin and also the flash plugin and it still would not load the flash/java games
[00:22] <jamiejackson1> how can i see what brand an SD card is? is there some sort of CLI command for that?
[00:22] <bigdavejoker> how to escape the ' character when using it in a sed command I want to use sed '/server can't find/d......
[00:23] <deinspanjer> Is there a different channel for Ubuntu Server?
[00:23] <stickapotomus> tomas1, what flash game?
[00:24] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: an op of this channal no
[00:24] <durt> deinspanjer, #ubuntu-server
[00:24] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: why?
[00:24] <deinspanjer> durt:
[00:24] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb, just curious. this is my first foray into ubuntu and was wondering how this was all maintained. specifically, if this channel was an "official" support channel, so forth.
[00:25] <Pici> stickapotomus: It is the official support channel.
[00:25] <Pici> See the /topic
[00:25] <Ben64> bigdavejoker: \ is pretty much the universal escaper
[00:25] <deinspanjer> durt: Bah! I flubbed my channel scan then. :)  Would it be best for me to go there or here for questions regarding upgrading from an 8.04 desktop to 9.04 server?
[00:25] <bigdavejoker> Ben64 thanks thats what I tried but must not have used it correctly  thanks
[00:25] <tomas1> restaurant city.
[00:25] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: yes it is an offical channal, but most people here  aren't  exactly linked to  Canaonical the company behind Ubuntu,  and most don't have the Ubuntu member status thingey
[00:25] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb, i see. so this is mostly a user helping user channel, yes?
[00:26] <durt> deinspanjer, either or, the server channel is mainly for server config mysql, LAMP etc.
[00:26] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: yes volunters from all over the world, helping other people
[00:26] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: or  users asking for help with their Ubuntu
[00:26] <stickapotomus> i see.
[00:27] <deinspanjer> durt:
[00:27] <Pici> stickapotomus: The 'chat' channel is #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:27] <Pici> Also...
[00:27] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: well  I guess at least someone from every Internet connected countrey/island comes in here, but  you get the idea,   The Internet yeah
[00:27] <Pici> !irc | stickapotomus
[00:27] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb: Canaonical then doesn't offer a support service, like say you would call into Dell for help, etc. Correct?
[00:27] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: pici is an op/admin of the channal by the way
[00:27] <deinspanjer> durt: Hrm. I just posted the question there so I'll wait a bit rather than cross post.
[00:27] <nostalgicBadger> btw, linux being easy to install is a pretty recent development, and i'm not sure the market has caught on to it yet
[00:28] <nostalgicBadger> i still had to use ndiswrapper to get the wireless drivers to work in Ubuntu Netbook Remix, on my netbook
[00:28] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: they do offer commercial suppourt as well, but yes it's better to take this discussion to #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:28] <devon> hey all anyone know how to fix the no sound in running wine apps?
[00:29] <willluongo> I am having difficulties getting my 8.04.3 installation on  my laptop to recognize the video card, I am pretty sure I will need to manually edit the xorg.conf, does anyone have any alternative solutions? It is an averatec 3200 series, with a Savage S3 (I am pretty sure)
[00:29] <devon> I'm trying to run steam counter strike and it loads but no sound in from it
[00:29] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb: k, no more questions about support then - rather the actual question. has anyone ever had problems with the network applet in 9.04 of ubuntu showing the wireless network disconnected, but when you right click and view connection information it shows that is in fact, connected?
[00:31] <devon> hrmmm whats your video card?
[00:31] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: I  think I read before that, that applet can be a bit  misleading (I think that's the word I want)
[00:31] <not_shivan> hi, quick question, is anyone here running 9.10 with tex-common installed?
[00:31] <sebsebseb> !9.10 |  not_shivan
[00:32] <not_shivan> ah, thanks
[00:32] <sebsebseb> not_shivan: np good luck
[00:32] <tomas1> i cant play flash/Java games like those on facebook. i go to the page and they dont load i am faced with a blank screen
[00:32] <willluongo> devon: are you asking me?
[00:32] <sebsebseb> not_shivan: well I don't know what your actsaul issue is hmm anywah the other channal
[00:32] <stickapotomus> sebsebseb: well, in that senario; my wireless network appears to be offline, since I can't ping out anywhere. BUT - i am running dual wireless network cards. at any rate, I got fed up and installed wicd - which now allows me to connect and stay connected to my wireless network. should i file bug report then for the network applet?
[00:33] <sebsebseb> stickapotomus: Wireless is not my area
[00:33] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  stickapotomus
[00:33] <deinspanjer> Does anyone have pointers on upgrading from 8.04 desktop to 9.04 server? I'm hoping to do a clean guided install, I just don't have burnable media or a bootable USB available.
[00:33] <stickapotomus> fair enough.
[00:34] <sebsebseb> dennda: 8.04 is recommended for proper servers
[00:34] <ReV1500> whats up?
[00:34] <sebsebseb> dennda: or any other LTS that is still supported such as Dapper just about
[00:34] <ReV1500> this is pretty cool
[00:34] <sebsebseb> dennda: only for server for that one though
[00:34] <benc1> how do I see the number of used file descriptors by a user?
[00:34] <sebsebseb> !lts |  dennda
[00:35] <syk> how do search for files in terminal, including hidden files

[00:36] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer:  see above  when I messaged  the wrong person
[00:36] <ReV1500> wow
[00:36] <willluongo> magical_walrus: is it from a VM?
[00:37] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: Woah, Thanks! I didn't realize that 9.04 wasn't LTS
[00:37] <magical_walrus> willluongo, yes
[00:37] <deinspanjer> So what I want then is to really scrub and clean the machine to turn it from a cluttered 8.04 desktop to a new 8.04 server.
[00:37] <fccf> !java | tomas1
[00:38] <devon> anyone on know anything about wine and how to fix is sound problems?
[00:38] <fccf> devon: best to ask that in #winehq
[00:38] <devon> ty
[00:38] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: when I said any LTS for a proper server,  well  obviously people are unlikely to recommend now that you put on Ubuntu Dapper Drake  6.06.  Also no probs.
[00:38] <vasser> hello
[00:38] <vasser> any IL users in here ?
[00:38] <vasser> (and awake)
[00:38] <tomas1> i have installed that i did it as i found a link to RestrictedFormats and that had tools to install so i did but still nothing
[00:39] <fccf> tomas1: did you restart firefox?
[00:39] <tomas1> yes
[00:39] <willluongo> magical_walrus: you should be able to use the image manager in the VM to resize it... might be able to use gparted from within the instance I suppose
[00:39] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: So by the same token, 8.10 is not just a patch release to 8.04? i.e. it isn't LTS either?
[00:39] <tomas1> ok well i now have popcap games loading
[00:40] <tomas1> but the apps on facebook still wont load
[00:40] <Pici> deinspanjer: 8.10 is a separate release.
[00:40] <deinspanjer> I'm finding lots of hits on upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04 and 8.04 to 8.10, but I haven't seen the one that I'm wanting yet.
[00:40] <fccf> tomas1: the three main ones are sun-java6-bin, sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin, do you have all 3?
[00:40] <Pici> deinspanjer: The release numbers are YY.MM
[00:40] <dragon> what switch makes curl print the headers only?
[00:40] <tomas1> i will check
[00:40] <Pirate_Hunter> i've got a bash template text file which I wish to remove some of its contents, this would be number at the start of each line and empty spaces left by it, is this possible through terminal commands if so how?
[00:40] <deinspanjer> Pici: Ah, well that clarifies things then. :)
[00:40] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: 8.10 isn't a LTS, but  for desktop usage it's quite a lot better than 8.04 really, also for certain people it's better than 9.04 even,   but  9.10 is out on October 29th and that should be pretty good
[00:41] <magical_walrus> willuongo: There isn't an image manager in the emulator, just an image creator. I am using pearpc (with a legally obtained copy of OS X on it) on windows, and was hoping Ubuntu was capable of resizing .IMG files
[00:41] <Pici> 9.10 is not lts either.
[00:41] <Pici> !lts
[00:41] <dragon> Pirate_Hunter: It is quite possible. You should start with `man tee`.
[00:41] <sebsebseb> Pici: indeed
[00:41] <fccf> deinspanjer: change all instances of hardy in /etc/apt/sources.list to intrepid, apt-get update, apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:41] <Pirate_Hunter> dragon: ok
[00:41] <microhxo> I am having some issues with ubuntu 9.04 and TEW-424UB usb wireless adapter, it says connected and sees the network but i cant browse the internet, or if i can its extremely EXTREMELY SLOW and at most times wont work.

[00:42] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: basically for proper servers  use  the LTS,   for desktop usage, use whatever version you want, as long as it's still supported
[00:42] <dragon> Pirate_Hunter: just make sure you have a backup copy of the file you are running the commands on
[00:42] <asmm> or biriged or what?
[00:42] <fccf> asmm: get better answers to your questions in #vbox
[00:42] <Pici> sebsebseb: That really depends what on how often you like to upgrade.  My server runs 9.04
[00:43] <Pirate_Hunter> dragon: no problem it is a template i can get it again
[00:43] <sebsebseb> Pici: oh you got a 9.04 server,  but sure at what you said
[00:43] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: Definitely wanting as close to a "proper server" as I can get.  Does it seem feasible that I can get there from 8.04 desktop? Or am I going to have to wait until tomorrow and go buy media?
[00:44] <microhxo> Anyone know why 9.04 wireless internet is EXTREMELY SLOW or non existant using a trendnet usb wireless 2.0 adapter?
[00:44] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: you can run server stuff in the desktop version, however  the server version has a proper server kernel as well
[00:44] <magical_walrus> willluongo, Is there a utility for ubuntu that can resize .IMG files?
[00:44] <willluongo> magical_walrus: I don't know
[00:44] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer:  I guess you can kind of convert the desktop version to the server version some how, but  in that case, that woudn't  exactly be recommended
[00:44] <Pici> deinspanjer: 'proper server' is a very vague term.  Commerical companies don't want to upgrade their servers upgraded every 6 months, which is why we have an LTS release.
[00:45] <sebsebseb> Pici: indeed and when I put proper server, I meant  for example commercial companies
[00:45] <martin12345> how to disable automatic mounting(for example USB HDD) in ubuntu? My /etf/fstab looks like this --> http://pastebin.com/mb4fc181 I assume it's controlled by fuser?
[00:45] <stickapotomus> microhxo, what speed does your wireless connect at?
[00:45] <pvl1> magical_walrus, i think partition manager might
[00:45] <stickapotomus> microhxo, and what is your signal strength?
[00:45] <deinspanjer> I'm wanting a distro that is focused on stability and security releases rather than bleeding edge.
[00:45] <microhxo> Does not say, just says connected, and the signal strength is about 45%
[00:46] <deinspanjer> I'm not a corporation, but I'm hosting stuff that is important to me and visible on the internet.
[00:46] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb:
[00:46] <microhxo> i have the network setup wide open, no wpa or anything.
[00:46] <PlasmaSheep> I need a decent HDR tool. Any ideas?
[00:46] <phix> hey, does anyone here use the NetBeans package? auto complete seems to be broken
[00:46] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: such as?
[00:46] <foob> is there quide for recompiling kernel for unbuntu and installation of the new kernel
[00:46] <PlasmaSheep> phix: Submit a netbeans bug?
[00:46] <microhxo> But i cant ping any sites or the modem it self, sometimes i will get 2 or 3 pings that get through to the modem but most of the time it says unreachable.
[00:46] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: MythTV?
[00:46] <stickapotomus> ah. just curious. i'm running dual network cards; but my signal strength says 5%; even though if I boot out and boot into Vista I get full strength.
[00:46] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: haha, High Dynamic Range :P
[00:46] <phix> PlasmaSheep: It is only the package that does this
[00:46] <pvl1> phix go to the netbeans irc, i doubt its an ubuntu thing
[00:47] <phix> PlasmaSheep: so why would I submit a bug report to netbeans?
[00:47] <magical_walrus> pvl1, Thanks, I'll try that
[00:47] <PlasmaSheep> phix: Well, if it's a bug,.
[00:47] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: I'm not wanting to have a hybrid install, I just don't have media to put the server ISO on and boot from that.  I'm hoping I can install from within the 8.04 desktop environment.  I do have an external drive hooked up to it, but I can't make that bootable.
[00:47] <stickapotomus> microhxo, are you using the default network manager that comes with ubuntu?
[00:47] <microhxo> yea
[00:47] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: Toooo many Acronyms
[00:47] <The_Jag> Please, I need help for a easy thing: I need to move all file in a folder (and in subfolders) into another folder
[00:47] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: TMA :p
[00:47] <microhxo> i have no way to download a new one :|
[00:47] <The_Jag> I'm stuck :(
[00:48] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Command line or gui?
[00:48] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: you can put the server   stuff into  the 8.04 desktop,   altough that special server kernel hmm, but  you don't need that anyway I guess
[00:48] <The_Jag> CL
[00:48] <nostalgicBadger> cp *.* /destination/dir ?
[00:48] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: man cp
[00:48] <Nitrodist> phix: #netbeans
[00:48] <The_Jag> uhm
[00:48] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: also man mv
[00:48] <The_Jag> yes but
[00:48] <Nitrodist> why do so many people bring application issues into #ubuntu when those applications have their own channels :o
[00:48] <stickapotomus> microhxo, damn, that sucks. i had almost same problem this evening and gave up and installed Wicd instead because my wireless kept dying and couldn't ping out either.
[00:48] <fccf> The_Jag: cp *.* /dest/dir -R  .... the -R being recursively
[00:48] <sebsebseb> Pici: any suggestions on what  deinspanjer  should do regarding his server?
[00:49] <PlasmaSheep> Nitrodist: Get used to it :P
[00:49] <The_Jag> ah
[00:49] <stickapotomus> but in my case the signal strength alwas reported damn near 0%.
[00:49] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Or, or, man cp
[00:49] <The_Jag> i missed -R in man
[00:49] <The_Jag> TY
[00:49] <deinspanjer> Pici: Keep in mind, I'm not necessarily wanting to keep anything around from the desktop install.   Any ideas?
[00:50] <phix> Nitrodist: ok
[00:50] <phix> Nitrodist: $10 I am told to ask my question on #ubuntu because it is a problem with the package :)
[00:50] <paissad-hp> hi all, i have a problem running a mpd client , here is my mpd.conf http://pastebin.com/f248c8516
[00:50] <Pici> deinspanjer: It doesn't really matter which you use.  The Xorg stuff isn't included in the long-term LTS stuff though, only server components get the full time frame for support.
[00:50] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: Please discribe (in detail) what you are trying to do, it might allow for better answers
[00:50] <zopiac> how do i ssh to another computer?
[00:50] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: Okay
[00:50] <Nitrodist> phix then how is an irc channel going to help if the package is broken?
[00:50] <fccf> !ssh | zopiac
[00:50] <Nitrodist> ~_~
[00:51] <root_> eai galera
[00:51] <stickapotomus> microhxo, sorry i'm not much more help. i just found i curious that someone else was having wireless problems.
[00:51] <PlasmaSheep> I need a decent HDR tool to make an HDR photo from several photos with varying exposures. Any ideas?
[00:51] <benc1> it is possible that lsof works only on ubuntu desktop and not on ubuntu server?
[00:51] <zopiac> thanks
[00:51] <paissad-hp> what's wrong with him ?
[00:51] <phix> Nitrodist: fix it
[00:51] <root_> alguem from brazilllll
[00:51] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: I believe imagemagick will do all that and more
[00:51] <sebsebseb> !br |  root_
[00:51] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: Imagemagick?
[00:52] <frexsolex> #maroc
[00:52] <PlasmaSheep> Are you sure?
[00:52] <Nitrodist> phix: you'd have to file a bug report
[00:52] <Nitrodist> or talk to the package maintainer
[00:52] <root_> #ubuntu.br
[00:52] <Nitrodist> both of which aren't covered in irc :o
[00:52] <fccf> !info imagemagick | PlasmaSheep
[00:52] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: it is command line only, but very powerful
[00:52] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/high-dynamic-range.php I don't want to recompile it if it's not enabled
[00:52] <The_Jag> it doesn't work
[00:52] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: I know what it is :P
[00:53] <The_Jag> uhm
[00:53] <root_> goo night brothers
[00:53] <nightlight> Can I use the 'up' line in /etc/network/interfaces to run a python script? Or perhaps even so (or not), what's the best way to run a script every time I connect to a specific wifi network?
[00:53] <frexsolex> hwo to go to german chat

[00:54] <x802> anyone have a netbook? does dvd play back works nicely or choppy?
[00:55] <nostalgicBadger> i have a netbook, but not one with a DVD drive
[00:55] <phix> Nitrodist: hmmmm, can you do it for me? :)
[00:55] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: I guess better really to stay with 8.04 for now
[00:55] <PlasmaSheep> x802: It would depend on your hardware mostly, but what program are you using?
[00:55] <benc1> how do I count the number of rows a command outputs in the shell?
[00:55] <sebsebseb> deinspanjer: for the server
[00:55] <tomas1> some on please i cant play flash games on popcap.com the game gets to there logo on facebook i am faced with just a blank page
[00:55] <deinspanjer> sebsebseb: But I had already accepted that I wanted to stay on 8.04.  I'm just wanting to get all the desktop cruft off the current install.
[00:55] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Is flash installed?
[00:56] <tomas1> yes it is and so is java
[00:56] <sebsebseb> Pici: can   deinspanjer  change his 8.04 desktop install, into the server install?
[00:56] <tomas1> i can see adds fine just not games
[00:56] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Do other flash things work?
[00:56] <microhxo> Ok this is bothering me, in ubuntu for my wireless network, it says that i am connected to my network at 54mbps and it gives everything correctly, but when i try to ping my router it says Unreachable, and i cant go on the internet, what is going on?
[00:56] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: let me do some looking to see if there is a ppa for that
[00:56] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: nitrome.com <- can you play those games?
[00:56] <tomas1> hold on
[00:57] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: I tried qtpfsgui, but it gave me weird sh** results
[00:57] <sebsebseb> !langauge |  PlasmaSheep
[00:57] <The_Jag> it didn't work! not all files were copied into the new folder, how come ?
[00:57] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: I didn't say anything
[00:57] <xnox> hello! is it possible to find out which process is uploading data? my machine is uploading at 180KiB/s for a while now and I'm not doing anything! Please help =)
[00:57] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: it still counts what you did
[00:57] <PlasmaSheep> =/
[00:58] <abcdefg> There is a possibility of while downloading a torrent of a movie to watch at the same time? When i try it even with 50% of completion the movie seems broken in some start parts.
[00:58] <The_Jag> I have folder1/folder2-3-4-5 and i want to move all mp3 files from those subfolders into folderK
[00:58] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: What kind of movie?
[00:58] <PlasmaSheep> abcdefg: The way torrents work is that some parts are downloaded before others (it's not sequential, I don't think).
[00:58] <PlasmaSheep> Either that, or I'm wrong.
[00:58] <abcdefg> .AVI
[00:58] <Pirate_Hunter> just tried command chmod 750 /etc/init.d/..., however the permission comes as follow -rwxr-x---, hmm shouldnt group be able to read also?
[00:59] <stickapotomus> microhxo, you can ping www.google.com for example?
[00:59] <abcdefg> PlasmaSheep: makes sense
[00:59] <microhxo> no
[00:59] <willluongo> Pirate_Hunter: no, 5 is execute only
[00:59] <microhxo> no response
[00:59] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Is it working?
[00:59] <willluongo> Pirate_Hunter: I am sorry, misread that
[00:59] <stickapotomus> nm.
[00:59] <bucky> xnox, maybe netstat --statistics
[00:59] <tomas1> no its not it loads a little then stops
[00:59] <willluongo> Pirate_Hunter: it is read and execute for group
[00:59] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: I didn't mean the format
[00:59] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: How did you install flash?
[01:00] <tomas1> through the add remove part of ubuntu
[01:00] <abcdefg> what do you mean?
[01:00] <stickapotomus> microhxo, ifconfig returns an ip addy?
[01:00] <The_Jag> pls, anyone? i'm lost
[01:00] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: open a command line (applications>accessories,terminal)
[01:00] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: what kind of movie your downloading, but  not really relivant
[01:00] <abcdefg> ah, i cant say
[01:00] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: We need more info than "it doesn't work"
[01:00] <abcdefg> you know
[01:00] <tomas1> done
[01:00] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: type of movie
[01:00] <Pirate_Hunter> willluongo: yes it is for some reason I was adding an extra line/space inbetween each sectio so it diddn't seem right, sorry
[01:00] <abcdefg> ;-)
[01:01] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: yeah, because uhmmm
[01:01] <bucky> xnox, or netstat --program
[01:01] <x802> PlasmaSheep, windows meadia player and VLC to play DVD
[01:01] <sebsebseb> !piracy >  abcdefg
[01:01] <The_Jag>  I have folder1/folder2-3-4-5 and i want to move all mp3 files from those subfolders into folderK
[01:01] <abcdefg> NO
[01:01] <abcdefg> its porn
[01:01] <stealth-> how can I make commands that will get run at bootup?
[01:01] <sebsebseb> ok
[01:01] <xnox> bucky: hmmm doesn't tell me much =( just loads requests send out
[01:01] <sebsebseb> uh
[01:01] <abcdefg> ;-)
[01:01] <bucky> xnox, or netstat --program
[01:01] <bucky> xnox, do you have ubuntu one?
[01:01] <sebsebseb> abcdefg: I meant for the first thing about it not being piracy,  and yes you shoudn't say  the other thing
[01:01] <The_Jag> all it says is that there are no such files in the current folder
[01:01] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: follow this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766683 to install flash

[01:02] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Are you in the proper directory?
[01:02] <The_Jag> yes
[01:02] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: What if it's unobtainable through legal means?
[01:02] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: What command did you use?
[01:02] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: Thanks for digging around for me, I'll check it out

[01:03] <alankila> Sky[x]: hide all output from stdout and stderr (the latter >& means clone filehandle 2 to point wherever handle 1 points).
[01:04] <xnox> bucky: maybe pulseaudio is broadcasting? dunno gonna check now
[01:04] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: And what did you say the error was?
[01:04] <bucky> xnox, you'd know if you have ubuntu one because you'd have to sign up for online storage and install ubuntu's software for that
[01:05] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: impossible to execute stat of "/home/fabio/Musica/m/*.mp3": No such file or directory
[01:05] <zopiac> ssh guide fails, i do what it says and it doesnt happen
[01:05] <zopiac> or i fail, one of the two
[01:05] <xnox> bucky: well apt just told me that I don't have ubuntuone-client installed =)
[01:05] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Make sure they're in .mp3 format and not in, say, ogg or MP3
[01:05] <abcdefg> The_Jag: what do you want?
[01:05] <PlasmaSheep> abcdefg: he needs to copy some stuff

[01:06] <PlasmaSheep> What did you expect?
[01:06] <FelipeUser> How I see if ubuntu recognized my wifi usb adapter?
[01:06] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: I meant only the flash compatibility part
[01:06] <Pirate_Hunter> I wish to close my ssh terminal but still keep my application running, is there a way to do this?
[01:06] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: ok, then how can i embrace all kind of extension? Mp3 mp3 and MP3?
[01:06] <xnox> bucky: I've enabled OpenDNS on my router today could that be the problem?
[01:06] <kitche> Pirate_Hunter: use screen
[01:06] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Well, if there's only music in there, leave off the *.mp3 part
[01:07] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: I wanted to  use the !piracy factoid, I guess I like the factoids a bit to much at times
[01:07] <tomas1> o well might as well do them all never know when i need the others
[01:07] <x404x> is there anything in the edubuntu package to learn linux ?
[01:07] <The_Jag> abcdefg: trying to copy files into another folder

[01:07] <fccf> x404x: not really, that distro is more for educational institutions
[01:07] <abcdefg> The_Jag: hang on
[01:07] <FelipeUser> How I see if ubuntu recognized my wifi usb adapter?
[01:07] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: no, there are also other thing, could I use *.??3?
[01:07] <stickapotomus> FelipeUser, it doesn't show it automagically in the network applet?
[01:07] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Okay, in that case system->administration->synaptic package manager
[01:08] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: no
[01:08] <fccf> FelipeUser: lsusb
[01:08] <x404x> fccf ok thanx

[01:08] <PlasmaSheep> *sources
[01:08] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: *.**3
[01:08] <tomas1> ???
[01:08] <tomas1> ok
[01:08] <fccf> x404x: good start here www.ubuntupocketguide.com
[01:08] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: oh ok thought it was the same as win jolly chars
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: You can also make your extensions lowercase whenever you download stuff :P
[01:09] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: with rename?
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Also, if you want a good batch renamer, try metamorphose2
[01:09] <zopiac> agh, i dont understand ssh DX
[01:09] <fccf> The_Jag: uh, *.**3
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: in the cli it's done with move
[01:09] <FelipeUser> stickapotomus,  it dont show in the network applet
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: *.**3
[01:09] <PlasmaSheep> :P
[01:09] <tomas1> PlasmsSheep have it open
[01:09] <arand> PlasmaSheep: The_Jag: Isn't that double ** superfluous? And that would match .m3u and stuff as well?
[01:10] <stickapotomus> FelipeUser, yeah try lsusb then
[01:10] <stickapotomus> like fccf said.
[01:10] <FelipeUser> stickapotomus, ok
[01:10] <PlasmaSheep> arand: Ah, you're right, but it won't match m3u
[01:10] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: oh i'll try that application
[01:10] <stickapotomus> if it's not there, then .. its not there.
[01:10] <arand> PlasmaSheep: oh, right, ehe.
[01:10] <PlasmaSheep> arand: *.*3 means it will match anything with a three at the end of it's extension
[01:10] <PlasmaSheep> *its

[01:11] <fccf> ziesemer: better answers to your question in #ubuntu-server
[01:11] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: then close and try again
[01:11] <ziesemer> fccf: Will ask there, thanks.
[01:11] <stickapotomus> FelipeUser: right. well that's about the extent of my ubuntu knowledge.
[01:11] <tomas1> they already are selected
[01:12] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Actually, don't close
[01:12] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: in the CLI, apt-get update
[01:12] <stickapotomus> someone else might be able to better help. i just installed ubuntu this week :)
[01:12] <FelipeUser> stickapotomus: ok

[01:12] <abcdefg> The_Jag: forget me
[01:12] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: LOL it still didn't copy all files! what the hell? :)

[01:13] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: Well, clearly there's no music in that folder :P
[01:13] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: What's the error again?
[01:14] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: I know! I want the music from its subfolders
[01:14] <FelipeUser> fccf, how i do this?
[01:14] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: ahhhhhhh
[01:14] <PlasmaSheep> :P
[01:14] <tomas1> E: Couldn't find package non-free-codecs
[01:14] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: :D
[01:14] <abcdefg> cp *.mp3 /home/fabio/Musica/
[01:14] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: It couldn't download non-free-codecs
[01:14] <tomas1> yea
[01:14] <habanot2> hey
[01:14] <FelipeUser> fccf, could you enter xubuntu channel?
[01:15] <fccf> FelipeUser: stand by
[01:15] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: In that case, try doing this: ~/Musica/m/*/*.*3 (correct path if I got it wrong) and pray
[01:15] <habanot2> i need a bit of help getting my wintv go and remote working under my new ubuntu install
[01:15] <habanot2> im quite a newb to all of this
[01:15] <mybad> i would like to install gitorious on my server and it depend on  exim4 "The following packages are BROKEN:
[01:15] <mybad>   exim4 exim4-config
[01:15] <mybad> " (jaunty server)
[01:15] <syk> my sound isnt as loud as it should be, i have everything turned all the way up in volume control
[01:15] <habanot2> been googleing but cant quite figure it out
[01:15] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: i tried that before with no luck :(
[01:15] <mybad> oops sorry for my past
[01:15] <tomas1> is there a way to just put ubuntu back to install defults
[01:16] <mybad> anyone knows where to have xim4 package please ?
[01:16] <abcdefg> find . -f *.mp3 cp {} /home/fabio/Musica/
[01:16] <sebsebseb> tomas1: what do you want to do?
[01:16] <cstryon> Ok, I am using a Laptop, I JUST installed Ubuntu, I am completely new. I did the Sudo lshw -c network and it showed the wireless as disabled. So I connected with Ethernet, sure enough I got pdates, installed ndissomethingsomething and it found drivers, I installed those drivers, and now when I do sudo lshw -c network it doesn't say disabled, but I can't see any networks when I click on the network manager.
[01:16] <abcdefg> The_Jag:
[01:16] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: You'll need to do some fancy bash scripting (well, relatively) then
[01:16] <tomas1> to start again to see if that fixes it
[01:16] <sebsebseb> tomas1: yeah your issue is up there some where, can you repeate it quickly for me?
[01:16] <tomas1> just place ubuntu into the state it was after installation (with out reinstalling)
[01:16] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: take a screenshot of the first screen of the software sources window and put it on imageshack
[01:17] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: that will solve nothing
[01:17] <tomas1> i cant play flash/java games i have all drivers and stuff installed but not working
[01:17] <remi> mac rule
[01:17] <sebsebseb> tomas1: you did sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras ?
[01:17] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep, abcdefg: TY I'll try new way tomorrow, I'm just too sleepy now :D
[01:17] <sebsebseb> !troll > remi
[01:17] <epaphus> does the order of how the hard disks (SATA) are connected in the MoBO dtermine in linux who gets the letter sda or sdb ?
[01:17] <tomas1> no but then i can start from scratch with you guys helping as it may of been something i have done wrong
[01:17] <PlasmaSheep> remi: Oh, I love their ability to right cli- oh, wait....
[01:17] <tomas1> installed them sebsebseb
[01:17] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: cool, night then
[01:17] <The_Jag> Pl
[01:17] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: take a screenshot of the first screen of the software sources window and put it on imageshack
[01:18] <The_Jag> PlasmaSheep: ty, bye!
[01:18] <PlasmaSheep> The_Jag: np
[01:18] <tomas1> okk hang on
[01:18] <Guest54697> mac the best

[01:19] <sebsebseb> !lol >  Guest54697
[01:19] <Guest54697> oops sorry
[01:20] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Did you do apt-get update ?
[01:20] <sebsebseb> Guest54697: Do you have an  Ubuntu question?
[01:20] <tomas1> i did yes
[01:20] <cstryon> Can anyone help me? I explained my problem
[01:20] <edbian> What does this IPtables rule do?  iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $IFACE -j MASQUERADE
[01:20] <hurley> hy
[01:20] <edbian> Sets up NAT right?
[01:20] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Did you try to download it after?
[01:20] <n-iCe> is it true? ubuntu is the most used linux distro?
[01:20] <sebsebseb> n-iCe: on the destkop yes, on the server no
[01:20] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: It's likely to be true
[01:20] <alankila> edbian: yes, all packets leaving IFACE will be masqueraded.
[01:20] <tomas1> yea and same error
[01:20] <n-iCe> sebsebseb: which distro is on server?
[01:20] <tomas1> i will try again
[01:20] <hurley> i have one 7300 gt in ubuntu 9.04...
[01:20] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: Redhat
[01:21] <sebsebseb> n-iCe: Redhat and Debian  for example, you can ask these kind of questions in #ubuntu-offtopic by the way
[01:21] <edbian> alankila: So "iface" should be the nic connected to my lan?  Or the nic connected to my ISP?
[01:21] <n-iCe> PlasmaSheep:  I see, well, I am back to Ubuntu, things have changed a lot here.
[01:21] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: I dunno now, ask sebsebseb :P
[01:21] <hurley> in glxgears frames is very slow... about 1700
[01:21] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: heh
[01:21] <tomas1> lol ok i will ask sebsebseb
[01:21] <DaZ> hurley: glxgear is not a benchmark :f
[01:21] <sebsebseb> tomas1: did you sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[01:21] <PlasmaSheep> hurley: glxgears is not an accurate representation of speed
[01:21] <alankila> edbian: well, it has to be the outbound interface.
[01:21] <n-iCe> PlasmaSheep:  for how long have you been an Ubuntu user?
[01:21] <alankila> it's in postrouting step and all...
[01:22] <tomas1> yes i did and there was still nothing
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: since 7.10
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> From fedora 8
[01:22] <edbian> alankila: ?  Packets travel both ways on a network.  What do you mean "outbound" ??
[01:22] <n-iCe> have you tried any other distro?
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> edbian: packets going out?
[01:22] <sebsebseb> n-iCe: yes
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> n-iCe: fedora, knoppix (heh)
[01:22] <alankila> yes, packets going out... like, to the wider network
[01:22] <PlasmaSheep> alankila: aka, the internet :P
[01:23] <edbian> say eth0 is my ISP and eth1 is my network.  What should "iface" be in this rule?
[01:23] <hurley> how can I see if the card is running with maximum efficiency?
[01:23] <sebsebseb> n-iCe: when I started with Linux there was no Ubuntu,  so my choice was Debian or Fedora Core,  I went  Fedora Core 2, anyway #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:23] <edbian> PlasmaSheep: Yeah.  Packets leave the computer...
[01:23] <alankila> edbian: tell you what, linux is crazy enough that it works even if you add both, but by now you should know that it would suffice to add it only for eth0.
[01:23] <hurley> how can I see if the card 7300 gt is running with maximum efficiency?
[01:23] <edbian> alankila: Please start with my name so I see what you type.  I almost missed that last comment ;)
[01:23] <brent> anyone know how to toggle between languages in ubuntu?
[01:23] <tomas1> i am going to just try a fresh installation of ubuntu and then get you guys to walk me through it is that ok
[01:23] <margarita> ow do i get four walls on my cube for compiz? it only has two, thankyou
[01:23] <sebsebseb> brent: switch between?
[01:23] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: That's a horrible idea
[01:24] <edbian> alankila: PM me.  It's crazy in here.
[01:24] <tomas1> well it might work
[01:24] <brent> yes switch between
[01:24] <sebsebseb> brent: yes  easy
[01:24] <tomas1> i only installed it yesterday and i can do it again
[01:24] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1: Buying a new computer has the same chances of working
[01:24] <fccf> margarita: right click on the desktop switcher and set it to have 4 desktops
[01:24] <brent> like.. sometimes i want to type english... and other times korean
[01:24] <stickapotomus> rofl
[01:24] <sebsebseb> brent: add the langauge  thingey to the desktop, then in it's settings  set up your other langauge, and have one as default
[01:24] <patx> is there a .deb for http://www.bpython-interpreter.org/
[01:24] <sebsebseb> brent: uh to the desktop, I meant the panal, right click and add
[01:24] <margarita> fccf, where is that at
[01:25] <brent> sebsebseb, where do i do that...
[01:25] <PlasmaSheep> margarita: default bottom right
[01:25] <eltew> Is it possible to automatically login and startup a console program in tty2 upon logging into my gnome session?
[01:25] <sebsebseb> brent: the top or bottom panal
[01:25] <margarita> plasmasheep, thanks got it
[01:25] <fccf> margarita: bottom right corner, 2 brown boxes ... rt click ... properties
[01:25] <margarita> fccf, thanks
[01:25] <dtam> eltew.. create a shell script and use sessions to add it to run upon startup
[01:26] <sebsebseb> tomas1: I didn't follow your issue properly remind me, Java and Flash was the problem?
[01:26] <margarita> fccf, i got it thanks
[01:26] <tomas1> yes they just wont work
[01:26] <eltew> dtam: i'm not familiar with any of that.  perhaps you could link me to a site that would better explain it?  I do appreciate your assistance.
[01:26] <sebsebseb> tomas1: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[01:26] <tomas1> i will see
[01:27] <sebsebseb> tomas1: in the terminal you know about the terminal yes?
[01:27] <tomas1> yea i do
[01:27] <tomas1> its already installed
[01:27] <Darksoul69> I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled
[01:27] <sebsebseb> tomas1: ok
[01:27] <eltew> dtam: i am checking google, perhaps i now that i know what i wanna do, i'll find a tutorial.  thanks for the heads up.
[01:28] <sebsebseb> tomas1: sudo apt-get install sun-jave6-jre
[01:28] <brent> 아
[01:28] <tomas1> already done
[01:28] <tomas1> thats the problems
[01:28] <sebsebseb> tomas1: it says they are installed, but they don't work?
[01:28] <burntresistor> where can i get the udf driver needed to run my 360 hd dvd on ubuntu
[01:29] <tomas1> yes
[01:29] <burntresistor> not sure which driver i need
[01:29] <tomas1> hence im going to start with a clean install to see where i went wrong
[01:29] <sebsebseb> tomas1: that may not fix it
[01:29] <Darksoul69> I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled
[01:29] <tomas1> good thing is ubuntu 9.04 does not take as long to install as windows vista does
[01:29] <sebsebseb> tomas1: Flash is sometimes an issue to install, and maybe also sometimes Java as well
[01:30] <microhxo> Ok this is weird, I get an internet connection using this Wireless usb adapter but i only get internet when the signal is full 5 bars, if it drops to 3 or lower the internet stops working!
[01:30] <sebsebseb> tomas1: you can  remove them from Synaptic
[01:30] <microhxo> does anyone have a fix for this?
[01:30] <sebsebseb> tomas1: and then install again
[01:30] <microhxo> the computer is litterally 10 feet from the wireless router.
[01:30] <tomas1> yes but i have othere things that might be interfearing like my lampp server software
[01:30] <sebsebseb> tomas1: that is unlikely
[01:30] <Darksoul69> I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled\
[01:31] <Darksoul69> I have a wine issue: X Error of failed request:  XF86VidModeExtensionDisabled **
[01:31] <IdleOne> DarkChewie: #winehq
[01:31] <sebsebseb> tomas1: Linux programs tend not to  conflict with  other Linux programs,   on Windows on the other hand, well yes programs  might not work so well together
[01:31] <IdleOne> Darksoul69: #winehq
[01:31] <Darksoul69> IdleOne: Thats nice, but it was working fine until a reboot..
[01:31] <Darksoul69> IdleOne: So I doubt they can help me
[01:31] <LucidGuy> Picking myself up a netbook but thinking on getting either a 1gig ram model of 2gig.  Does anyone know if the 2gig will consume allot more battery life?
[01:31] <microhxo> Anyone? this wireless adapter works sometimes, only when i get full bars and otherwise it wont work at all!
[01:31] <IdleOne> Darksoul69: that's unfortunate but it is a wine issue
[01:32] <tomas1> well im going to give it a go bbs
[01:32] <sebsebseb> !ot |  LucidGuy
[01:32] <PlasmaSheep> tomas1 fails
[01:32] <sebsebseb> LucidGuy: also you could ask in ##hardware
[01:33] <jouva> I'm having issues getting my optical drives being recognized by my system. They're on an IDE port that's using a JMicron chipset and the BIOS screen doesn't report them directly, but JMicron reports them as part of a RAID.
[01:33] <LucidGuy> sebsebseb, Im ordering the Ubuntu Dell miniV .. its loaded with Ubuntu, thats why I was aksing.
[01:33] <sebsebseb> LucidGuy: ok well it's still offtopic really for this channal
[01:33] <LucidGuy> I disagree ... Linux distros are known for being pigs when it comes to battery consumption.
[01:34] <cstryon> I went through the wireless docs and troubleshooting info, i couldn't find anything to help with my problem
[01:34] <sebsebseb> LucidGuy: your question is hardware realted not software related in anyway really hence  being off topic really as far as I know
[01:34] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: that works only with jpeg files
[01:34] <PlasmaSheep> That's a pity
[01:34] <LucidGuy> urg
[01:36] <VickiWong> Hey guys, having trouble booting into my Ubuntu machine. It says the filesystem down't have /sbin/init and cannot find file/directories /root/dev /root/sys or /root/proc to moount
[01:36] <PlasmaSheep> VickiWong: you screwed up good is my guess
[01:36] <cstryon> Is there a channel for wireless issues on ubuntu?
[01:36] <VickiWong> I check one of my lost+found folders and it is full of subfolders and files, including bash
[01:36] <Spudster> I have an NFS volume that comes un-mounted after a few days, is there any way to monitor for this, and force Ubuntu to re-mount the volume if its disconnected?
[01:36] <arand> VickiWong: new install?
[01:36] <sebsebseb> cstryon: yes this one
[01:36] <VickiWong> arand: no
[01:36] <PlasmaSheep> VickiWong: my inexpert advice: save what you can (home dir, etc) and install anew
[01:36] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: you want to work with raw images?
[01:36] <VickiWong> it was fine last night, but this morning i was getting a few weird things happening andn ow this
[01:37] <prabs> hi
[01:37] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: raw/tiff/lossless
[01:37] <jouva> VickiWong: How long have you had it installed?
[01:37] <benc1> how can I tell what is the name of the user running a server ?
[01:37] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: I'm one of "those" :P
[01:37] <VickiWong> jouva:probably a good month+
[01:37] <jouva> Hmmm
[01:37] <needhelp> hi all
[01:37] <jouva> Yeah it's probably best that you just copy documents/data maybe some settings
[01:37] <jouva> And start fresh
[01:38] <jouva> It'll be much less hastle
[01:38] <arand> VickiWong: That seems undoubtedly messy, tried manual fsck from livecd? (although if important stuff's ended up in lost+found, it might be garbled good.)
[01:38] <coilette> i need media help.. my multi-card reader does not work (texus intraments i believe) and my cell phone (moto-rokr) detecs its been connected to my pc via usb, (says that the card is not available, becuase its been opened by computer) but the pc doesnt detect it or the card. any ideas?
[01:38] <PlasmaSheep> VickiWong: lost+found is the folder where fragmented/corrupted data goes.
[01:39] <PlasmaSheep> So, yeah.
[01:39] <cstryon> Ok, I am using a Laptop, I JUST installed Ubuntu, I am completely new. I did the Sudo lshw -c network and it showed the wireless as disabled. So I connected with Ethernet, sure enough I got pdates, installed ndiswrapper and it found drivers, I installed those drivers, and now when I do sudo lshw -c network it doesn't say disabled, but I can't see any networks when I click on the network manager.
[01:39] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: you can probably  put in a LIve CD, and access your partition from it and any data
[01:39] <KurtKraut> After I login in thru GDM, the numpad on my keyboard stops working, no matter numlock is on or off. The numpad keys are currently moving the mouse but no accessibility is enable. How can I fix that?
[01:39] <needhelp> what do i have to do to start X? with nouveau it reports 'detected gpu lockup' and with vesa it reports 'error setting mtrr'
[01:39] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: what about recovery mode/knoppix?
[01:40] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: What about Knoppix?
[01:40] <VickiWong> i have my HDD partitioned into /boot /(root)  /usr /opt /srv /var /home whats my best way to reinstall ubuntu and save the most of my stuff without causing conflicts?
[01:40] <PlasmaSheep> Knoppix is to linux what Jesus is to Christians.
[01:40] <habanot2> hey im having a real hard time  i cant seem to get my hauppauge to work can anyone please help me my tv tuner card is def working i juts cant seem to get lirc to work
[01:40] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: meaning?
[01:40] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, i am able to access all my partitions when booting from my 2nd HDD fine
[01:40] <tomas1> one more question before i go what is the browser that gives every one permission to access what ever folder they wont
[01:40] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: He could save his stuff by accessing it with knoppix
[01:40] <habanot2> its the remote im having the problem with
[01:40] <needhelp> is there something that can be done about it?
[01:40] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: it's a saviour
[01:40] <IdleOne> PlasmaSheep: he can do the same with Ubuntu live cd
[01:40] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: I am not sure, but  I think  VickiWong is actsauly a she by the way
[01:41] <PlasmaSheep> IdleOne: yeah, I guess
[01:41] <PlasmaSheep> IdleOne: but shh :P
[01:41]  * IdleOne looks at channel name
[01:41] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: there are no women on the internet :P
[01:41] <logos> My ethernet controller eth1 is recognized in the "ifconfig" but is not connecting, somebody  help me?
[01:41] <tomas1> it sounded like nucleus
[01:41] <nightlite> can the 'up' line for interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces be used to run a python script or only sh scripts? if not (or I guess even if so), what would be the best way to run a script every time I connect to a specific wireless network
[01:41] <VickiWong> oh yes a she :D and i have Ubuntu running on a 2nd HDD and am able to mount the partitions from the messed up drive
[01:41] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: there are and that  joke can be rather offensive to them
[01:41] <needhelp> anyone?
[01:41] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: I'm kidding.
[01:41] <IdleOne> PlasmaSheep: two of the most accomplished Ubuntu/linux people I know are women
[01:41] <sebsebseb> PlasmaSheep: doesn't matter,  they can still get offended by it
[01:42] <IdleOne> but that is ot
[01:42] <PlasmaSheep> I have a sister, I know there are women on the internet.
[01:42] <sebsebseb> !women |  PlasmaSheep
[01:42] <tisek> there are plenty of women on the internet if u know what i mean ...
[01:42] <tomas1> got it
[01:42] <PlasmaSheep> oh my god
[01:42] <PlasmaSheep> flamebait
[01:42]  * PlasmaSheep covers
[01:42] <logos> anyone?

[01:42] <tisek> sr
[01:42] <tisek> sry*
[01:43] <cstryon> Ok anywhere else I might be able to aside from the docs i just looked at where I can get some sort of answer?
[01:43] <pepperphd> hi. not on this computer, but on a little mac g3 on which i have ubuntu 9, the mouse phases in and out of operation. i get a kernel message saying 'unable to enumerate usb device on port [whichever port i have the mouse in]. is this a driver problem?
[01:43] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: the messed up drive?
[01:44] <Spudster> Looking for help - I have an NFS volume that comes un-mounted after a few days, is there any way to monitor for this, and force Ubuntu to re-mount the volume if its disconnected?
[01:44] <PlasmaSheep> VickiWong: In any case, I suggest you download/burn a live cd (I say knoppix, but I guess it doesn't matter), then copy your stuff somewhere safe off the broken disk/partition, then reinstall
[01:45] <VickiWong> so anyone have a tip on how to reinstall ubuntu whilst saving my apps/data/settings without causing conflicts? my partitions are /boot /(root) /usr /opt /srv /var /home
[01:45] <needhelp> it seems that all the users that actually help are sleeping
[01:45] <Kalmi> Spudster, well... you could write a simple script that checks for the existence of a folder on the mounted share and if it is not there it remounts it...
[01:45] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: why have you got seperate  /usr   /opt  and  /srv and /var
[01:45] <PlasmaSheep> sebsebseb: Don't you?
[01:45] <Kalmi> Spudster, but finding the cause of the unmounts would be a nicer solution...
[01:45] <Spudster> Kalmi: Thanks I'll give it a shot
[01:45] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: surely you only need /   and  /home    if you want that seperate,   by default everything goes in /
[01:46] <Spudster> Kalmi: Is there a log that I can look at to see what the cause may be?
[01:46] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, i was given this as a partition scheme, told it would make things easier to manage/recover
[01:46] <logos> My ethernet controller eth1 is recognized in the "ifconfig" but is not connecting, somebody  help me?
[01:46] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: by someone that has used Unix for  many, many years?
[01:46] <arand> sebsebseb: VickiWong: would reinstalling only / whilst keeping the rest intact be doable?
[01:47] <n8tuser> logos -> not connecting to where?
[01:47] <Kalmi> Spudster, I dunno... maybe dmesg?
[01:47] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: some  of the old skool Unix people  still do that kind of set up,  but  most other people are going to have it all in  /   or    do a serpate /home as well,   and possibily a seperate /boot depending on the file system they are running
[01:47] <pepperphd> hi. not on this computer, but on a little mac g3 on which i have ubuntu 9, the mouse phases in and out of operation. i get a kernel message saying 'unable to enumerate usb device on port [whichever port i have the mouse in]. is this a driver problem?
[01:47] <Spudster> Kalmi: Thanks I'll have a look
[01:47] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, the scheme was found here http://www.linuxmint.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_partition
[01:48] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: well  partition setups vary, there isn't one proper way to do it,  it depends on the user, and  what they are going to do on the computer
[01:48] <VickiWong> is it an issue having them all on seperate partitions? or just overkill :D
[01:48] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: it's overkill yeah
[01:48] <logos> n8tuser i dont receive the stats "connected", what im trying to do is to put my 2 ethernet drivers to share my internet connection between ubuntu and a windows, cause my internet provider blocks the sharing if i dont have a  router.
[01:48] <n8tuser> VickiWong -> but its always good to have a separate  /home  partition
[01:49] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: yep what n8tuser said
[01:49] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: well usauly good to have a seperate /home again depends on the computer and  al that
[01:49] <jouva> I'm having issues getting my optical drives being recognized by my system. They're on an IDE port that's using a JMicron chipset and the BIOS screen doesn't report them directly, but JMicron reports them as part of a RAID.
[01:49] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, so considering i have these seperate partitions is it best i move files off the HDD, wipe, reinstall ubuntu, or do i just need to wipe certain partitions when reinstallin ubuntu
[01:50] <n8tuser> logos -> 2 ethernet drivers? i dont follow.. do you have a network layout drawing you can share so we can make comments?
[01:50] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: why do you want to re install Ubuntu?
[01:50] <microhxo> sudo apt-get install ndisgtk says invalid why?
[01:50] <microhxo> 9.04
[01:50] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, ubuntu is no longer booting
[01:50] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: oh right yeah
[01:50] <jouva> sebsebseb: The file layout got really really fubar
[01:51] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: for people with a working  Ubuntu install that want to reinstall for some reason,   I would normalley say wait untill 9.10 is released at the end of October, with the default Ext4 file system :),   but for people like you,   re installing does sound good   /  and /home
[01:51] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: and a swap if you want
[01:52] <microhxo> why doesnt this work in 9.04 ? sudo apt-get install ndisgtk
[01:52] <danbhfive> microhxo: do you have the cd in the drive?  have you run sudo apt-get update?
[01:52] <logos> n8tuser sure, i moment
[01:52] <logos> 1*
[01:52] <microhxo> Havent ran sudo apt-get update
[01:52] <VickiWong> so move my files off and wipe whole drive before installing? or do i keep the / and /home partitions intact while installing
[01:52] <microhxo> will do that now
[01:52] <monster> will there be an upgrade options for .10? or will you have to install it fresh?
[01:53] <microhxo> thing is, i have internet for like 5 seconds at a time then i have nothing!
[01:53] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: how big is your /home ?
[01:53] <noobuntu> sudo modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found
[01:53] <VickiWong> over 100GB
[01:53] <sebsebseb> VickiWong:  the main idea of having a seperate /home is so it's easier to re install
[01:53] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: so yes you can keep that
[01:53] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: / and all that you can get rid of and start over
[01:53] <arand> VickiWong: I think the / partition is the one that needs reinstalling the most, /home is probably best keps intact.
[01:54] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: / will be Ubuntu when you re install
[01:54] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: when you re install though  you need to tell it in manual install   that you want the old /home to be the home
[01:54] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: otherwise it will just end up being a data partition,  and  your home will be in /
[01:54] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, arand, will i loose installed software? as i recall only app settings and personal files are on /home
[01:55] <stickapotomus> microhxo, i'm not sure what to tell you. i had the same problem earlier, esp with the wireless network saying 0% - even though I could boot back into Vista and have them show 100% signal.
[01:55] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: yes you will lose installed software
[01:55] <microhxo> I ran sudo apt-get update but i got a bunch of failed to fetch errors
[01:55] <stickapotomus> microhxo, i just went and installed Wicd, your results may vary.
[01:55] <arand> VickiWong: yes, you will have to reinstall all applications, however there are ways to make that quite simple: ...
[01:56] <logos> n8tuser http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/2223/imagem2hd.png somthing like that
[01:56] <sebsebseb> arand: such as?
[01:56] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, as i can still mount all of myy drives (but not chroot) is there a an easy way to grab a list of what i have installed etc?
[01:56] <microhxo> when i try to run sudo apt-get ndgistk i get invalid operation
[01:56] <microhxo> same with Wicd
[01:56] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: I think there is, but I don't know about that, but I think arand might
[01:56] <ctmjr> !aptoncd
[01:56] <sebsebseb>  VickiWong dpkg -l  I am thinking hmm
[01:57] <danbhfive> microhxo: oops, missed it!  its sudo apt-get install ndisgtk                 you missed the "install"
[01:57] <microhxo> Ahhh

[01:58] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[01:59] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[01:59] <VickiWong> arand, and this will work without booting into the Ubuntu in question?
[01:59] <logos> n8tuser and share the eth0 ( that will be connected to the internet ) with eth1
[01:59] <logos> but eth1 is not even connecting
[01:59] <n8tuser> logos -> do you have a hub between eth1 and your client nic?
[01:59] <ShapeShifter499> I just installed java for ubuntu powerpc and I can't get firefox to see the plugin what do I do?
[01:59] <sebsebseb> !language |  cappicard
[01:59] <noobuntu> I was trying to do remote mount through ssh. Installed sshfs but sudo modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found please...
[01:59] <logos> yes
[01:59] <sebsebseb> cappicard: yes stuff like that can happen
[01:59] <logos> n8tuser yes
[02:00] <sebsebseb> cappicard: Flash in Ubuntu doing stuff like that
[02:00] <Kalmi> logos, what have you tried so far?
[02:00] <logos> n8tuser i was pretty suceeded in the windows doing this connection
[02:00] <n8tuser> logos -> your eth1 is not up or not showing it being up..  how do you plan to allocate the ip address to the client and this eth1  ?
[02:00] <cappicard> this is 64-bit... i just watch an youtube video. my cpu spikes out with memory over 1GB. to the point I can barely move my mouse around.

[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard: and with FIrefox?
[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard: yes I have had these kind of issues before
[02:01] <cappicard> yes
[02:01] <Kalmi> ShapeShifter499, um... restart firefox?
[02:01] <ShapeShifter499> I did
[02:01] <ShapeShifter499> and restarted my comp
[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard: well Flash is closed source and  for some reason, it does stuff like that, to some of us
[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard: in Firefox in Ubuntu
[02:01] <sebsebseb> cappicard:  What do you want to use Flash for?
[02:02] <lab4> is there any way to display duplicate folders in 2 different locations? e.g. a folder containing folders of pictures on my hard drive and a folder containing pictures of folders on my external

[02:02] <Kalmi> sebsebseb,  :D
[02:02] <cappicard> i dont do anything out of the ordinary for it
[02:02] <sebsebseb> cappicard: ok I think  Swfdec or Gnash, may be good enough for that now
[02:02] <ShapeShifter499> I know where the plugin file is, is there a way of linking that plugin file to firefox??
[02:02] <sebsebseb> Kalmi: What why?
[02:02] <cstryon> My wireless card seems to be installed and working, but i can't see any wirelss networks. Any ideas?
[02:02] <sebsebseb> cappicard: or you can do Adobe Flash in another browser
[02:03] <n8tuser> cstryon -> does  iwlist wlan0 scan  shows anything?
[02:03] <logos> kalmi, n8tuser look what i tried to do http://www.vivaolinux.com.br/dica/Compartilhamento-de-internet/
[02:03] <Kalmi> sebsebseb, Who needs flash? :)  http://xkcd.com/619/
[02:03] <sebsebseb> cappicard: and  maybe  both  Swfdec and Gnash are good enough for Youtube videos now
[02:03] <arand> VickiWong: hmm, yea, true, this won't work when system don't boot... *wrinkles forehead*
[02:03] <ShapeShifter499> ??
[02:03] <n8tuser> logos i do not speak portuguesa
[02:03] <cstryon> n8tuser, i don't know what that is
[02:04] <VickiWong> arand, :( thanks for the suggestion though, i wonder if there is a hihstory file somewhere from apt-get or something like that
[02:04] <logos> n8tuser look justth command lines
[02:04] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: what kind of programs did you install? surely it's not that hard to re install? even if you aren't sure  what you put on exactly
[02:04] <Kalmi> logos, I suggest that you use a GUI.... like Firestarter
[02:04] <logos> n8tuser =)
[02:04] <n8tuser> cstryon -> thats to scan what is available
[02:04] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: dpkg -l  looked promising
[02:04] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: however it seems to have maybe cut something off in the terminal, but  in the settings  there is a way to  get it show more output
[02:04] <logos> kalmi synaptic have it?
[02:04] <Kalmi> sure
[02:04] <n8tuser> logos command lines have to be understood in context with the sentences, so they dont mean much to me
[02:04] <cstryon> n8tuser -> ok, how do i run that?
[02:04] <Kalmi> !firewall | logos
[02:05] <n8tuser> cstryon -> sudo  iwlist wlan0 scan            shows anything?
[02:05] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, and i can run this outside the OS in question?
[02:05] <logos> Thks ubottu, i'll try the Guarddog, since im usig kde.
[02:05] <VickiWong> i think there is a /var/log/aptitude which might have a historry

[02:05] <logos> Be right back to post the results.
[02:05] <sebsebseb> VickiWong:  maybe that's not it, as in what I put
[02:05] <xikteny> VickiWong: I didn't catch the beginning of this conversation, but /var/log/dpkg should have history
[02:06] <sebsebseb> xikteny: she wants a list of all the packages she has installed
[02:06] <xikteny> VickiWong:  /var/log/dpkg.log that is
[02:06] <cstryon> n8tuser -> wlan0     Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable
[02:06] <johnzorn> if a package doesn't install correctly but it thinks its installed how do I get it to retry?
[02:07] <n8tuser> cstryon bring it up first before using that command
[02:07] <sebsebseb> johnzorn: you can try sudo apt-get remove package or  sudo apt-get purge package  which would also do config
[02:07] <sebsebseb> johnzorn: and broken packages can be fixed in synaptic I think
[02:07] <Kalmi> logos, guarddog can't do NAT... What you are looking for is guidedog :)

[02:11] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: why?
[02:11] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: how you getting along by the way?
[02:11] <cstryon> n8tuser -> I don't know what you mean for me to have up before I run that command
[02:12] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, dpkg.log seems quite empty, only going back 4 days, going to check aptitude log
[02:12] <sebsebseb> icarus: I think that's off topic really, altough there are such things as  email forwarders
[02:13] <sebsebseb> !ot |  icarus
[02:13] <icarus> sebsebseb, what would you suggest?
[02:13] <jalonso> hey guys, this book I'm reading is saying that an operating system cannot boot properly if the boot info is kept "above the hard drive's 1023rd cylinder". Anyone knows what that means?
[02:13] <sebsebseb> icarus: I am not really the person to ask, since I don't  tend to use email
[02:13] <n8tuser> cstryon bring the interface up before issuing the scan command
[02:13] <osi> chico busca chica
[02:14] <PlasmaSheep> fccf: Hm, I'll try that again
[02:14] <PlasmaSheep> thanks :)
[02:14] <cstryon> n8tuser, the terminal?
[02:14] <sebsebseb> icarus: also since  your issue isn't  really  to do with Ubuntu yep #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:14] <fccf> PlasmaSheep: looks like what you need... I've been multitasking
[02:14] <icarus> monster, so use thunderbird?
[02:15] <xikteny> VickiWong: there might be dpkg.log.# going back further. still, i don't know if it will go back all the way...

[02:15] <danbhfive> jalonso: some older computers require the kernel to be placed toward the beginning of the HDD  (fyi drive space is broken up into cylinders)
[02:15] <barcode_> i've followed the NFS-howto to the T on the server (ubuntu)
[02:15] <jjrev> does anyone use Evolution to access 2007 Exchange Server?
[02:15] <barcode_> rpcinfo -p localhost reveals that all the daemons are running correctly
[02:15] <barcode_> i've opened those ports up in my hardware firewall
[02:15] <fccf> barcode_: this is not mepis support .... ubuntu is a different distro and we don't support mepis
[02:16] <VickiWong> xikteny, does that include things installed via apt-get?
[02:16] <jalonso> danbhfive: so that would not really apply to a machine that can support SLI right?

[02:16] <devinmcelheran> I was wondering if some can help me with a driver problem
[02:16] <arand> VickiWong: /var/lib/dpkg/staus should list all the statuses of packages, and I think it should be possible to reinstall using that data, exactly HOW escapes me though...

[02:18] <paissad-hp> med_, vas sur #ubuntu-fr
[02:18] <cstryon> n8tuser, what interface do you mean for me to have open?
[02:18] <jalonso> danbhfive: the reason I ask is because I was trying to install ubuntu using two harddrives, one was a 20gb drive while the other was a 200GB sata drive. mounted the 20G drive as the root partition and the rest on the sata drive and when I was done it didnt boot
[02:19] <jalonso> danbhfive: was I being realistic in setting it up this way?
[02:19] <n8tuser> cstryon -> which interface are we scanning on?
[02:19] <paissad-hp> otherwise, do you have a script or command which permits to convert all .wma files , recursively into a directory to .mp3 files ?
[02:19] <n8tuser> cstryon -> btw, not open, but up
[02:20] <danbhfive> jalonso: I would think so.  you should post what errors you ran into
[02:20] <fccf> paissad-hp: audacity will do that if you have the plugins installed ... though it is a little slow
[02:20] <jalonso> danbhfive: error 15

[02:22] <xikteny> VickiWong: how about something like 'dpkg -l | grep '^i' > ~/installed_packages'
[02:23] <jjrev> LeChacal: ln -s /etc/init.d /etc/rc2.d/linname

[02:26] <oTo> hello i have install ubuntu but i have no idea how to install programs and extras going crazy here hehe - help
[02:26] <jalonso> danbhfive: honestly I should tell you that I ultimately gave up and just installed ubuntu entirely on the Sata drive
[02:26] <xikteny> VickiWong: No it would return information about the system you ran it on. You could maybe chroot into the old os...?
[02:27] <n8tuser> cstryon thanks, and come back again.. we can assist more
[02:27] <clearscreen> oTo: Applications -> Add/Remove
[02:27] <cfedde> oTo: last choice in the applications menu.
[02:27] <oTo> Whaaaatt!!!! Jeeeesss..
[02:27] <danbhfive> jalonso: well, that's probably for the best
[02:27] <jalonso> danbhfive: so at this point I need to redo the installation again before I can get back at you
[02:27] <oTo> grrr let me check :}
[02:27] <xikteny> VickiWong: oh if /var/lib/dpkg/status is missing that command probably wouldn't work even if you did chroot...
[02:27] <oTo> ty
[02:27] <VickiWong> xikteny, chroot'ing  won't work as bash is one of those items banished to lost+found :D
[02:27] <cfedde> oTo: also system->administration->synaptic package manager
[02:27] <VickiWong> seriously seriously fubar'd
[02:28] <rwparris2> clearscreen: I don't see that option. I'm on 9.04
[02:28] <danbhfive> jalonso: I suggest you wait till 9.10, when grub2 is the default.  Grub2 should detect your drives better
[02:28] <xikteny> VickiWong: ah :(
[02:28] <rwparris2> clearscreen:  I see networking tools but no 'general' and nowhere to change the name.
[02:28] <VickiWong> xikteny, so pretty much reduced to reading files/logs
[02:28] <jalonso> danbhfive: oh ok, but for the time being, should I just reconnect that second drive and look at the device.map file?
[02:29] <clearscreen> rwparris2: I don't know from the top of my head (running debian).. you can edit it manually though... gksu gedit /etc/hostname
[02:29] <jalonso> danbhfive: either way thanks for the information, much appreciated :)
[02:29] <danbhfive> jalonso: if you want to hassle yourself, sure.  But grub2 will replace  grub, so it may not be worth it.
[02:30] <jalonso> danbhfive: gotcha, I read up on GRUB 2 instead, didnt even know they were doing it
[02:30] <jalonso> danbhfive: thanks again
[02:30] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: you're talking about changing what appears in your shell prompt?
[02:30] <danbhfive> np, take care
[02:30] <rwparris2> prince_jammys: yeah, I want it gone though not just changed
[02:30] <rwparris2> all I want to see is $
[02:31] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: PS1='\$'
[02:31] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: or more likely PS1='\$ '
[02:31] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: put that at the bottom of ~/.bashrc
[02:32] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: dpkg --get-selections  according to webpigeon
[02:32] <ghb-120> hello, im trying to get openssh working on jaunty. i have installed it and can connect from the computer running the server through both "localhost" and "<IP_ADDRESS>" but when i come downstairs to my windows xp computer and try to use putty to connect to "<IP_ADDRESS>"
[02:32] <yxz97> does anyone knows about install brainfuck on ubuntu ?
[02:32] <ghb-120>  it doesnt work
[02:32] <yxz97> thanks
[02:32] <IdleOne> !clone
[02:32] <rwparris2> prince_jammys: that works perfect thanks
[02:32] <prince_jammys> rwparris2: welcome.
[02:33] <Pici> yxz97: The package name is bf
[02:33] <VickiWong> xikteny, arand, I do have /var/log/dpkg.log going back to 20/04/09 perhaps this oculd be useful
[02:33] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: the command I gave  should do what you want
[02:34] <MadSeaDog> anyway to batch change one line in 20 text file in a single command?
[02:34] <ghb-120> haha alot of exiting and entering
[02:34] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, isnt that to get info for the bootable OS?
[02:35] <VickiWong> or can i specifiy the unbootable OS
[02:35] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: by line number, by text pattern ... how?
[02:35] <pmdragon1> does anyone know anything about "ychat"...
[02:37] <habanot2> how do i get ubuntu to actually utulize my a415-hpg hauppauge remote if i run irw i see that its working
[02:37] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  let go with boths... for futurs uses... but text pattern will do the job...
[02:37] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: I don't know
[02:37] <deus_> what is the purpose of source.list.distUpgrade?
[02:37] <arand> VickiWong: yea, that command will not do unless you've booted or chrooted the system.
[02:37] <deus_> Its addresses inside it is from intrepid
[02:38] <yxz97> Pici, thanks
[02:38] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: well, it's best of you tell me specifics, since the approach changes depending on the requirements. What text pattern?
[02:38] <VickiWong> sebsebseb, yeah I tried the command but it just gave the local installed package list, but good idea :)
[02:39] <VickiWong> computers are such a pita...
[02:39] <UF-Gast592> Spricht jemand Deutsch, oder ist das hier unerwünscht?
[02:39] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  a path ... something like /home/blahblah/moreblahblah/ to /somethingelse/blahblah/moreblahblah ...
[02:39] <sebsebseb> VickiWong: yep they can be annoying
[02:40] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: sed -i 's:/home/blahblah/moreblah/:/somethingelse/blah:g'  fileone filetwo filethree ....
[02:40] <deus_> but the main sourcelist is set on jaunty
[02:40] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: do the twenty filenames have something in common that distinguishes them from the other files in the dir ?
[02:40] <deus_> do i really need it?
[02:41] <deus_> i think its making a mess of the package system
[02:41] <Pici> !de | UF-Gast592
[02:41] <arand> VickiWong: I'm asking in #debian currently, and they suggested: you can get a reasonable setup by just running dpkg  --rootdir /path/to/blah --get-selections
[02:41] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: make backups before you test this. it'll overwrite the files.
[02:41] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  yeah gonna change the end with *.something ...
[02:41] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  i dont need the old files after...
[02:41] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: then sed -i sameasabove  *.something
[02:42] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  ok thanks gonna try it now...
[02:42] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: yes, but still. make backups to make sure the substitution is done how you want.
[02:43] <arand> VickiWong: that would be provided you could locate the /var/lib/status file... otherwise, I think you should be able to extract the relevant data from the file you found, but that will be rather tricky though...
[02:43] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: that will not change entire lines. it'll just substitute one string for the other, everywhere.
[02:43] <VickiWong> arand, thanks, ill have a snoop around lost+found for the status file
[02:43] <VickiWong> arand, and path/to/blah would be the path  to the status file right? ;)
[02:43] <UF-Gast592> Sorry Pici and thank you ubottu (if you are an user) ^^
[02:44] <sebsebseb> !thanks |  UF-Gast592
[02:44] <smartzly> hello
[02:44] <UF-Gast592> Uh it is a bot and some user are kidding me?  :D
[02:48] <tomas1> i want to install flash and java
[02:48] <prince_jammys> !java
[02:48] <sebsebseb> tomas1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:48] <UF-Gast592> On ubuntu?
[02:48] <clearscreen> tomas1: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras :P
[02:48] <thiebaude> !flash | tomas1
[02:49] <clearscreen> sebsebseb: why so fast :(
[02:49] <tomas1> im going to give it a go now i just needed to be reminded the code pleas hold
[02:49] <arand> VickiWong: It could very well be done, I don't know how though, google might..
[02:49] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: what?
[02:49] <clearscreen> sebsebseb: you're too fast
[02:49] <liubin> q
[02:49] <tomas1> must say my VGA card is working better this time as now i get those cool screen effects
[02:50] <thiebaude> tomas1, for java i did sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[02:50] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  worked great!
[02:50] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: good :)
[02:50] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: also isn't that really the point of this channal, to hopefuly get fast help?
[02:50] <tomas1> i am doing one thing at a time thanks thiebaude
[02:50] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: good.
[02:50] <tomas1> as i tryed that the last time and it did not work
[02:50] <thiebaude> tomas1, no problem
[02:50] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: or to be giving that help
[02:50] <tomas1> one other question i have is there a way to upgrade firefox
[02:51] <sebsebseb> !ff35 |  tomas1
[02:51] <prince_jammys> MadSeaDog: if you'd like to understand how to use sed, /join #sed and read the guide in the channel topic.
[02:51] <clearscreen> sebsebseb: Good for the channel, bad for my self-esteem! :D
[02:51] <tomas1> ok cool thankaa
[02:52] <VickiWong> arand, ok found the status file, but running that commands says dpkg: unknown option --rootdir
[02:53] <tomas1> i think i will just wait for the next ubuntu realese
[02:53] <tomas1> release
[02:54] <StupidWeasel> Humm, have there been any big breakthroughts with the open ATI drivers since Jaunty was released?
[02:54] <Nitrodist> tomas1, only another month
[02:54] <tomas1> yea i know
[02:54] <StupidWeasel> Can I look forward to slightly better performance on this cruddy old laptop =P ?
[02:54] <tomas1> i prefer ubuntu over windows its just i dont know how to use it
[02:54] <sebsebseb> clearscreen: ok
[02:55] <tomas1> but with practise it will come
[02:55] <StupidWeasel> Slowly slowly catchy monkey :)
[02:55] <MadSeaDog> prince_jammys,  ok  thanks for the hint...
[02:55] <StupidWeasel> I'm lucky in that I got used to headless linux before moving over to a linux desktop.
[02:56] <StupidWeasel> Seems a lot of people are doing it the other way around now.
[02:56] <tomas1> i like desktops
[02:56] <StupidWeasel> Which is still great though, Ubuntu is friendly enough for you not to need the terminal :)
[02:57] <tomas1> yea but it is always good to learn
[02:57] <arand> VickiWong: the command would be --admindir and you'll need to find two files: status AND available ( both from /var/lib/dpkg/ ) then add them to a directory, and also create a updates/ folder in that diectory then run "dpkg --get-selections --admindir=/path/to/the/directory > package_slections_backup.txt"
[02:57] <StupidWeasel> Oh yup, does not hurt.
[02:57] <tomas1> ok now that finished installing lets see if it works
[02:58] <deus_> Whats ppa2 packages?
[02:59] <xor> Hi there.
[02:59] <prince_jammys> !ppa | deus_
[02:59] <thiebaude> !welcome | xor
[03:00] <Irishmanluke> offtopic
[03:00] <prince_jammys> deus_: now if you literally meant 'ppa2' with a 2, i don't know.
[03:00] <xor> What is the point of the partner software source? Is it worth activating?
[03:00] <sebsebseb> !partner |  xor
[03:00] <Irishmanluke> oh yeah
[03:01] <VickiWong> arand, That worked! came out with 1603 items, package name + status
[03:01] <tomas1> it looks like it all works
[03:01] <gonzo_> hEY pEOPLE
[03:01] <rwparris2> I'm on 9.04.  Everytime I go to system>admin>software sources I can see it flash in the task bar but it never starts
[03:01] <sebsebseb> xor: not sure if that's it
[03:01] <tomas1> i love you guys :)
[03:01] <rwparris2> any ideas?
[03:01] <xor> I'll take a look none the less.
[03:01] <Irishmanluke> xor: is that like the bitwise operation?
[03:02] <arand> VickiWong: With that you should then be able to jump to the "to restore" step in this guide http://www.2030.tk/wiki/Backup_Installed_Software_List_on_Ubuntu once you've done the reinstallation.
[03:02] <cstryon> "sudo ifup wlan0"   says: Ignoring unknown interface wlan0=wlan0. the logical name for my wireless device is wlan0. "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan" iget: wlan0     Failed to read scan data : Resource temporarily unavailable.  I can't find any wireless networks any ideas?
[03:02] <xor> Irishmanluke: I like to think so.
[03:02] <tomas1> thanks sebsebseb and every one else
[03:02] <sebsebseb> tomas1: no probs :)
[03:03] <tomas1> i will come back here when i need more help

[03:04] <n8tuser> cstryon -> paste your /etc/networking/interfaces file   we may have to add a line for wlan0
[03:04] <xikteny> VickiWong: np, hope you get it working
[03:04] <ctmjr> cstryon: try ifconfig wlan0 down / ifconfig wlan0 up then iwslist wlan0 scan
[03:04] <n8tuser> cstryon -> paste it in pastebin
[03:04] <gonzo_> do somebody know  Ubuntu Well ?

[03:04] <prince_jammys> yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
[03:05] <Irishmanluke> cstryon: are you sure that wlan0 is the interface you want to use?
[03:05] <ctmjr> *iwlist

[03:09] <GuidMorrow> hey, is this Facebook page for real: http://www.facebook.com/ubuntulinux
[03:10] <IdleOne> GuidMorrow: I believe it is
[03:10] <thiebaude> GuidMorrow, it seems to be
[03:10] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: curious. i'd expect something along those lines if you weren't in an X session.
[03:10] <zopiac> for some reason all of my music says this (in totem) when i try to play them: Could not get/set settings from/on resource
[03:11] <zopiac> can anyone help me? its only been doing this since i last logged in, like 5 minutes ago
[03:11] <rwparris2_> prince_jammys: maybe reboot?
[03:11] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: no, not yet.
[03:12] <GuidMorrow> !kino
[03:12] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: now that you have an error message it's worth checking out google or the ubuntu forums for a known problem.
[03:12] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: rather than reboot, you could restart the X session and see.
[03:12] <GuidMorrow> !movie
[03:13] <cstryon> Ok I'm about to pastebin my interfaces file, but the file only has to lines of text in it :S
[03:13] <prince_jammys> rwparris2_: that would be done by:  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart    (first save any work)
[03:14] <cstryon> http://paste.ubuntu.com/266415/
[03:14] <cstryon> did i do that right?
[03:15] <ctmjr> cstryon: yes
[03:15] <GuidMorrow> I can't find any good video editors for Ubuntu; Kino doesn't work because i don't have firewire on here, all I have is a capture card
[03:15] <n8tuser> cstryon -> add these lines on that file, iface wlan0 inet dhcp, auto wlan0
[03:16]  * RHorse looks around sheepishly...
[03:17] <zopiac> im confused T_T
[03:17] <CoJaBo-Aztec> ?
[03:17] <d1gital> when i try to play a dvd using vlc, i get through the menu and through the FBI warnings and such, but when it comes time for the movie to play; the video window disappears and the audio becomes extremely choppy.  i have libdvdcss installed. what should i do?
[03:17] <GuidMorrow> I used to make more than enough movies when I used windows, but when I installed ubuntu
[03:18] <RHorse> tnx
[03:18] <GuidMorrow> *crickets chirping*
[03:18] <uman> Hello, does anyone know of an itunes replacement that can use an itunes library out of the box?
[03:18] <cstryon> wait i don't think i need to add any lines to my interfaces file.
[03:18] <cstryon> chramo@chramo-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
[03:18] <cstryon> chramo@chramo-laptop:~$ sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[03:18] <cstryon> chramo@chramo-laptop:~$ sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[03:18] <cstryon> the can found my network.
[03:18] <FloodBot2> cstryon: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:18] <uman> I'm not interested in having it convert or import the itunes library into its own format; I need to share the library between Ubuntu and Windows
[03:18] <zopiac> neither totem nor rhythmbox plays my audio files, but the Preview function in Nautilus works fine...
[03:19] <zlyubuntu> heh
[03:19] <cstryon> n8tuser, ctmjr, and the rest, thank you all
[03:19] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: what kind of video editing? cutting and pasting clips and such?
[03:19] <dtam> guildmorrow... i use avidemux for simple cutting and filtering
[03:20] <n8tuser> cstryon -> you're welcome
[03:20] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: check out if avidemux suits you.
[03:20] <ctmjr> cstryon: do you want to connect to a network?
[03:20] <GuidMorrow> I kinda expected something with the same caliber as windows movie maker, but with more options
[03:20] <Jyard> anyone know how to disable the system beep whenever i backspace to far or do anything really? it is quite irritating.
[03:20] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: avidemux has many options for "advanced" editing, but isn't good for cutting and pasting many clips.
[03:21] <cstryon> ctmjr, yes a wireless network, and it was successful
[03:21] <dtam> windows movie maker is very amateurish.. but it is effective.. I loved vegas on windows
[03:21] <GuidMorrow> what about video capturing
[03:21] <thiebaude> Jyard, i had to disable that in my BIOS
[03:21] <ctmjr> cstryon: ok cool have fun
[03:21] <Jyard> thiebaude: crap. thanks :)
[03:21] <thiebaude> Jyard, np
[03:21] <johnf> anyone seeing corruption. Like gnome terminals are invisible after suspend on karmic with KMS?
[03:21] <dtam> video editors is one area where windows kicks linux ass
[03:22] <zopiac> wat
[03:22] <prince_jammys> true. there's something called cinelerra also. check it out.
[03:22] <thiebaude> !cinelerra
[03:22] <GuidMorrow> prince_jammys: is that supported under ubuntu
[03:22] <zlyubuntu> MSG
[03:23] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: no, but installable.
[03:23] <arand> johnf: I think that would fit in #ubuntu+1
[03:23] <dtam> i have never tried cinelerra... maybe is should
[03:23] <johnf> ahh yes thanks
[03:23] <thiebaude> dtam, i've heard of it before, but nevere used it
[03:23] <thiebaude> never
[03:24] <Dragonlyre> hmm, for some reason I can't switch channels

[03:24] <d1gital> when i try to play a dvd using vlc, i get through the menu and through the FBI warnings and such, but when it comes time for the movie to play; the video window disappears and the audio becomes extremely choppy.  i have libdvdcss installed. what should i do?
[03:25] <prince_jammys> d1gital: you mean libdvdcss2, correct?
[03:25] <prince_jammys> i don't think libdvdcss is enough, but i'm pretty ignorant in that matter.
[03:25] <thiebaude> !dvd | d1gital
[03:26] <d1gital> prince_jammys: yes.
[03:26] <ctmjr> d1gital: try using mplayer and see if it plays the dvd ok,
[03:26] <prince_jammys> d1gital: does vlc play other videos properly for you?
[03:29] <pacopil> online boxing game http://www.kobox.org/kobox-fande-Nourine.html
[03:30] <d1gital> ctmjr: in mplayer, i get some weird blocky multicolor nonsense and really sped-up audio.. ?
[03:30] <GuidMorrow> prince_jammys: what utility can I find that records video from my capture card?
[03:30] <d1gital> prince_jammys: other videos play just fine
[03:30] <prince_jammys> GuidMorrow: i don't know. vlc comes to mind, but i don't really know.
[03:31] <prince_jammys> vlc is checking out regardless, if you're into video.
[03:31] <prince_jammys> *is worth checking out
[03:32] <prince_jammys> d1gital: and this happens with every dvd, right?
[03:33] <ctmjr> d1gital: have you installed the restricted extra package https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/
[03:33] <d1gital> prince_jammys:  i'll try another one.
[03:33] <d1gital> ctmjr: yes.
[03:33] <almostAg33k> i just installed ubuntu where can i get java, divx and all the other goodies i need?

[03:33] <sebsebseb> almostAg33k: sudo apt-get install  ubuntu-restricted-extras
[03:34] <draugefilekim> using rm on a symlink will delete the link but not the destination, right?
[03:34] <spoon> After insalling Hidpoint, finding out it won't do what I need, and uninstalling it, something is suddenly eating most of my proccessing power, a look at the system monitor shows I am running at a constant 95% or higher, and half of my RAM has vanished. running the top command shows a dd proccess taking up 40% of my prossing power, which wass obviously not the case before as ubuntu ran on about 20% according to the systm monitor CU
[03:34] <prince_jammys> draugefilekim: correct, thankfully.
[03:34] <almostAg33k> is that all of them/
[03:34] <clearscreen> draugefilekim: correct
[03:34] <almostAg33k> ?*
[03:34] <sebsebseb> almostAg33k: most of it yeah
[03:35] <sebsebseb> almostAg33k: Flash, Java, etc
[03:35] <coffeej> Anyone have success/information on the m560x webcam driver?  Found the sourceforge page but am to newb to make much sense of it.
[03:35] <d1gital> prince_jammys:  other dvd works fine. ???
[03:35] <draugefilekim> \o/
[03:35] <prince_jammys> d1gital: good. we're onto something ;)
[03:35] <legend2440> belorix: in terminal type   gconf-editor  browse to  apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible  put check mark in box

[03:37] <belorix> legend2440: thanks
[03:37] <GuidMorrow> ctmjr: Yes, I'm trying to record video off my capture card
[03:37] <kahen> totem-mozilla, mozilla-plugin-vlc, mozilla-mplayer... so ehm... nice naming consistency there
[03:37] <belorix> legend2440: do you know how i can make my desktop icons tile horizontally instead of vertically
[03:38] <legend2440> belorix: no sorry i don't
[03:38] <d1gital> both of the dvds say "this disc is copy-protected", and i know the disc isn't bad. what could cause the difference?
[03:38] <GuidMorrow> ctmjr: I might have to record video off of these VHS tapes before something messes up with this VCR player
[03:38] <ctmjr> GuidMorrow: digital or analog tv?
[03:38] <autumn> hi everyone :) i have some itunes files in .m4a format that i need to convert to .mp3 for my portable music player. The files are not DRMed. Google is giving me a lot of results from 2006, etc. Can someone please point me to a resource with something current? :)
[03:39] <spoon> After insalling Hidpoint, finding out it won't do what I need, and uninstalling it, something is suddenly eating most of my proccessing power, a look at the system monitor shows I am running at a constant 95% or higher, and half of my RAM has vanished. running the top command shows a dd proccess taking up 40% of my prossing power, which wass obviously not the case before as ubuntu ran on about 20% according to the systm monitor CPU
[03:39] <prince_jammys> autumn: are they recommending using mencoder or ffmpeg?
[03:39] <autumn> ffmpeg
[03:39] <clearscreen> spoon: try to manually kill the dd process (killall dd).. dont worry about ram usage displayed in top, linux works by the principle that unused ram is wasted ram, so a lot of stuff is cached
[03:39] <GuidMorrow> ctmjr: ??
[03:39] <prince_jammys> autumn: well, that'll work. it's not like either of those file formats is recent.
[03:40] <autumn> ok :) thanks, just wanted to make sure nothing had changed significantly in the last 3 years lol
[03:40] <kahen> autumn: have you looked at faad?
[03:40] <spoon> no the RAM has vanished from the total on the system monitor
[03:40] <autumn> kahen: I haven't... I'm fairly new to linux multimedia stuff.
[03:40] <GuidMorrow> ctmjr: what did you mean digital or analog? there is currently no source connected into the VCR-DVD combo player itself
[03:41] <GuidMorrow> the recording is in an analog format though
[03:41] <kahen> autumn: faad = commandline AAC decoder. that + lame will do the job
[03:41] <belorix> legend2440: how about making my icons go to the right of teh screen instead of the left?
[03:41] <ctmjr> GuidMorrow: iased you if you where trying to record tv and you said yes that is not what you are trying to do
[03:42] <ctmjr> *i asked
[03:42] <spoon> as in, I have 1Gig of RAM installed, but minutes ago, ubuntu decided I actually only had 512 (displayed as 495)
[03:42] <GuidMorrow> !tv
[03:42] <kahen> autumn: or... should do the job. dunno if .m4a is some bastardized proprietary thing that apple has concocted. wouldn't surprise me though...
[03:42] <autumn> kahen: itunes advertises it as DRM-free AAC
[03:43] <kahen> autumn: yes, but the container format might not be a standard mpeg-4 one. you know... it's apple...
[03:43] <GuidMorrow> ctmjr: I'm trying to capture video, not television
[03:43] <autumn> hmm... I hope not :) I'll try ffmpeg, it looks like it'll be an easier process and I found a batch script for it too
[03:44] <GuidMorrow> stopmotion and kino both fail
[03:44] <almostAg33k> how can i make my windows jiggle and stretch?
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> enable desktop effects.
[03:44] <prince_jammys> enable compiz and "wobbly windows"
[03:44] <GuidMorrow> almostAg33k: You need a good video card driver for that
[03:45] <prince_jammys> alternatively, shake the monitor.
[03:45] <thiebaude> !ccsm | almostAg33k
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[03:45] <thiebaude> rotfl
[03:45] <GuidMorrow> !intel
[03:45] <prince_jammys> you can also achieve a similar effect with the aid of tequila.
[03:46] <almostAg33k> i had installed ubuntu and it was werking, add wrong vid drivers and it would start up so i re-installed now i have a "normal" window
[03:46] <GuidMorrow> almostAg33k: what is your video card?
[03:46] <spoon> clearscreen: thanks, sudo killall dd as well as sudo killall klogd has brought my cu usage down to reasonable levels
[03:46] <thiebaude> GuidMorrow, i was about to ask that,lol
[03:46] <belorix> !icons
[03:46] <almostAg33k> ati radeon
[03:46] <GuidMorrow> !ati
[03:46] <thiebaude> man
[03:47] <spoon> anyone have any idea why ubuntu is suddenly only detecting half of my RAM?
[03:47] <IndyGunFreak> spoon, do you have 6gigs, and its only detecting 3.x something?
[03:47] <GuidMorrow> spoon: check BIOS?
[03:47] <almostAg33k> appearence preferences.viuals,extra
[03:47] <ctmjr> GuidMorrow: have a look here see if it helps http://forum.videohelp.com/topic307679.html
[03:47] <GuidMorrow> does the machine have PAE turned on (32-bit machine)
[03:48] <spoon> haven't booted to the bios yet, wanted to check if it could be tied to my fantom CPU usage
[03:48] <belorix> Does anybody know how i can make my icons go to the right of the screen instead of the left
[03:49] <spoon> doing so now, hopefully it's nothing, if not, you'll see me back here soon
[03:49] <thiebaude> spoon, did you check your system processes and see if anything is using alot of ram?
[03:49] <webbb8> what do you guys think about this, i just installed "back in time" for backing up my filles and i chose to have it save the data in my ubuntu one file so it will backup my data to the cloud
[03:50] <spoon> I have 1gig installed, I know this for a fact, ubuntu is suddenly only showing 512 though (displayed as 497)
[03:50] <spoon> I DID have some proccessor usage issues that began at the same time though
[03:51] <thiebaude> spoon, if i had your problem i would be checking All processes
[03:51] <spoon> hunting down and killing the culprits with top and killall has cut down my CPU usage to more reasonable levels
[03:52] <xtiger> hi
[03:52] <dtam> yo guys... dumb question but i have to ask it..  i did a lspci to see if my laptop has a sata hd...
[03:52] <dtam> 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 03)
[03:52] <thiebaude> spoon, i know when i use 512mb on ubuntu , it only sees 495
[03:52] <dtam> this would indicate yes right
[03:52] <lstarnes> dtam: that indicates that you have an SATA controller
[03:52] <dtam> i would think that it would say sata interface
[03:53] <lstarnes> dtam: it doesn't necessarily mean that you actually have an SATA hd
[03:53] <dtam> thats what im afraid of
[03:53] <spoon> right, that's to be ecpected, but it was showing the 1gig that I have installed untill verey recently and has mysteriously decided it was wrong
[03:53] <lstarnes> dtam: there is a more advanced utility called lshw
[03:54] <clearscreen> lstarnes: although very likely for a laptop.. why else put a sata controller in there :P
[03:54] <thiebaude> spoon, i would check bios and seeif bios has 1 gig and then save it if it isn't in bios
[03:55] <dtam> thanks lstarnes
[03:55] <spoon> alright, that was my next step anyway, just concerned because of the issue that came with it, thought it rudent to ask here while I was here
[03:55] <lstarnes> dtam: if you do have an SATA controller, you most likely do have an SATA hard disk
[03:55] <dtam> still doesnt say sata specifically.. but i can google the product id
[03:55] <spoon> rebooting to BIOS, see you guys soon
[03:55] <thiebaude> spoon, lets us know if you fix it
[03:55] <dtam> it says description: ATA Disk
[03:57] <dtam> what the hell is a ata-6 interface

[04:00] <josephnexus> does thunderbird read msg files?
[04:00] <gwhipple> i have a dell inpsiron 1545 laptop running vista 64bit should i install ubuntu 64bit
[04:00] <gwhipple> or does it matter
[04:00] <vede> *sigh*
[04:01] <thiebaude> gwhipple, how much ram do you have?
[04:01] <josephnexus> gwhipple, go ahead
[04:01] <josephnexus> ubuntu 64bit is quite stable and usable
[04:01] <DMJC> are there any C developers in here?
[04:01] <DMJC> I'm starting a project to write a gui joystick calibration utility for gnom

[04:02] <thiebaude> gwhipple, i agree with josephnexus
[04:02] <kfan> is there any way to get itunes software to work in 9.04?
[04:02] <thiebaude> since you said 3 gigs
[04:03] <clearscreen> kfan: the only way Ive gotten it to properly work is through virtualbox on a windows xp install
[04:03] <dbbolton> how can i edit the number of tty shells that are opened at boot?
[04:03] <thiebaude> !wine | kfan
[04:04] <ctmjr> DMJC: there is a #c channel might be more interest there

[04:05] <tomas1> hey guys this might be a tricky question but is there a way i can create an icon that opens using this command "sudo nautilus"
[04:05] <clearscreen> thiebaude: you may be able to run itunes through wine, but making it sync your device over USB will be a problem.. only viable alternative right now is using a virtual machine, although iphone dev team are pretty close to allow syncing of 3.0 devices

[04:06] <thiebaude> !launcher | tomas1
[04:06] <thiebaude> darn
[04:06] <dtam> tomas yes you can
[04:06] <tomas1> its just so i dont need to go to terminal to do it
[04:07] <thiebaude> clearscreen, thanks for that info
[04:07] <tomas1> how
[04:07] <kahen> tomas1: system > preferences > main menu?
[04:07] <tomas1> is the next question
[04:07] <dtam> tomas do a google for linux expect and interact
[04:07] <thiebaude> tomas1, can you creat a launcher for it?
[04:07] <tomas1> ok
[04:07] <thiebaude> create
[04:07] <thiebaude> tomas1, right click on your desktop
[04:08] <dtam> so you would create a shell script to sudo natilus and then the script would send the pass too
[04:08] <kahen> or yes. just right click panel and select "add to panel" and choose custom launcher
[04:08] <tomas1> ok and then add launcher
[04:08] <hermitcrabred> Hi everyone!
[04:09] <shadows090> hey guys, is anyone familiar with xampp and mysql?
[04:09] <dtam> hmmn i guess i took that question to be that he wanted to just click a launcher and not have to enter in the sudo password
[04:09] <thiebaude> hermitcrabred, hi
[04:09] <tomas1> i know how to install it dtam
[04:09] <hermitcrabred> thiebaude,  Hi!
[04:09] <Loganhoup> When I log in instead of getting a pleasant ubuntu log in sound I get a long extremely loud hissing staticy noise could someone please help me? Thanks
[04:09] <tomas1> thanks for the help guys
[04:09] <thiebaude> tomas1, then you wouldn't need sudo
[04:09] <almostAg33k> what does this mean? "If you have added the entire Medibuntu repository, install the package using APT."
[04:10] <tomas1> ?
[04:10] <kfan> which is more stable and seems to have less problems with hardware config ubuntu 9.04 or 8.04
[04:10] <thiebaude> !pcmanfm
[04:10] <legend2440> tomas1: theres an easier way  install   nautilus-gksu   then you can right click any folder and choose Open as Administrator
[04:10] <vede> VLC does not work, and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset.
[04:10] <shadows090> would anybody be able to help me access the main mysql page with lampp? I'm not sure where to find it
[04:10] <hermitcrabred> I just installed ekigasoftphone but I can`t find it anywhere?...any tips???
[04:11] <thiebaude> hermitcrabred, how did you install it?
[04:11] <tomas1> is that by doing the following "sudo apt-get  installnautilus-gksu"
[04:11] <shadows090> try going up to applications> internet?
[04:11] <Loganhoup> When I log in instead of getting a pleasant ubuntu log in sound I get a long extremely loud hissing staticy noise could someone please help me? Thanks
[04:11] <IdleOne> hermitcrabred: it should be installed default and it is in Applications > Internet
[04:11] <kahen> Loganhoup: and sound works fine otherwise?
[04:11] <legend2440> tomas1: it will also open files as administrator
[04:11] <tomas1> sweet thanks legend2440
[04:11] <hermitcrabred> with add/remove...sorry, new to Linux
[04:12] <thiebaude> hermitcrabred, see if its in synaptic
[04:12] <Loganhoup> kahen: no, If I use it for a short amount of time it hangs.
[04:12] <legend2440> tomas1: may need to reboot after installing
[04:12] <hermitcrabred> IdleOne,  I don`t see Internet on the apps...weird
[04:12] <IdleOne> thiebaude: he installed it already
[04:12] <IdleOne> hermitcrabred: what version of Ubuntu?
[04:12] <hermitcrabred> synaptic...? meaning?
[04:12] <hermitcrabred> Xubuntu
[04:13] <IdleOne> hermitcrabred: ahh well it is in the menu somewhere. try asking in #xubuntu
[04:13] <vede> VLC does not work (sometimes stops responding altogether, if it doesn't do that it closes (no error) when I press the "next" button), and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset (but PulseAudio does).
[04:13] <dsnyders> HI all!  I'm looking for an app to design music with.  ie, enter notes and have the computer play it.
[04:13] <n00b823> hydrogen can do drums if you want that.
[04:14] <hermitcrabred> ...OK
[04:14] <n00b823> or TuxGuitar can do it for guitar, and probably piano suff too.
[04:14] <n00b823> stuff*
[04:15] <dsnyders> n00b823, I want to do more than just drums, but I'll take a look at it.
[04:15] <kahen> dsnyders: http://www.rosegardenmusic.com/ ?
[04:15] <DMJC> rosegarden is awesome
[04:15] <n00b823> oh that looks good.
[04:15] <vede> Any ideas?
[04:16] <alus> why does everyone use ubuntu desktop on Amazon EC2?
[04:16] <dsnyders> kahen, rosegarden looks good.  Thanks.
[04:17] <vede> ... No?
[04:17] <josvuk> What is the packagename for installing qwt on ubuntu9.04ppc?
 VLC does not work, and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset.
[04:19] <legend2440> josvuk: if you are compiling something it probably wants  libqwt-dev
[04:20] <Guest12250> how to install HP scanjet G2710 on Ubuntu 9

[04:20] <josvuk> I tried sudo apt-get install libqwt5-qt3-dev libqwt5-qt3 libqwt5-qt4 libqwt5-qt4-dev

[04:21] <IdleOne> hmmm scanjet is not a printer
[04:21] <vede> ... :|
[04:21] <dsnyders> dbbolton, do you mean the [ctrl][alt][f1-f6] tty shells?
[04:21] <Clorox> You won't need a driver cd or anything for a scanner
[04:22] <dbbolton> dsnyders yeah. there's no /etc/inittab
[04:22] <n00b823> josvuk: i don't think there are any qwt ubuntu packages. those listed are just docs.
[04:22] <IdleOne> Guest12250: Applictations>Graphics>Xsane
[04:22] <dsnyders> dbbolton, /etc/inittab was changed to event.d
[04:23] <legend2440> josvuk: why compile? gnuradio is in synaptic
[04:23] <computer_> who has questions? im here to serve :)
[04:23] <fefer> serve is which way..
[04:23] <dbbolton> dsnyders /etc/event.d is a directory
[04:23] <dsnyders> dbbolton, there is a program called upstart
[04:23] <komies> I have a question about malware... I seem to have acquired this http://www.geekpolice.net/malware-removal-guides-f12/how-to-remove-personal-antivirus-delete-guide-t7526.htm somehow, but am not sure how to go about removing/disabling it on ubuntu.
[04:24] <computer_> ubuntu help
[04:24] <fefer> ok i have a question for you
[04:24] <n00b823> komies: thats on windows.
[04:24] <fefer> i think i have aquired a virus
[04:24] <fefer> what do i do
[04:24] <n00b823> why do you think that fefer?
[04:24] <computer_> with ubuntu?
[04:24] <Clorox> a virus on Ubuntu?
[04:24] <fefer> yes
[04:24] <Guest12250> ok idleone i ll try
[04:24] <Clorox> explain
[04:24] <josvuk> legend2440: What's synaptic? The gnuradio package which i found is only gnuradio3.1 but I need 3.2.2 which has the grc
[04:24] <fefer> its called rm -fr /
[04:24] <dbbolton> dsnyders no manual entry for upstart
[04:24] <computer_> ferfer, explain
[04:24] <computer_> ok
[04:24] <komies> It's displaying the same symptoms it would on a windows machine
[04:24] <josvuk> so I must compile it self
[04:25] <IdleOne> fefer: please don't do that
[04:25] <komies> the same popups in firefox showing a fake windows security control panel
[04:25] <Clorox> rm -fr / is a bad command
[04:25] <fefer> is not!
[04:25] <Clorox> don't use it
[04:25] <computer_> lol
[04:25] <fefer> it gives u cookies
[04:25] <komies> and I see the removal instructions for windows, but don't know how to deal with this in ubuntu.
[04:25] <n00b823> komies: are you sure you're in linux and everything?
[04:25] <legend2440> josvuk: http://gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/BuildGuide
[04:25] <n00b823> that is really weird.
[04:25] <Darkebrz> Hi, I need some help. VLC does not work, and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset.
[04:25] <IdleOne> !troll | fefer
[04:25] <komies> Yes.  I totally will. But this sure looks like linux to me. And my windows partition is borked, so if I was under windows I wouldn't be on xchat.
[04:26] <Clorox> yes, vede?
[04:26] <vede> VLC does not work (sometimes stops responding altogether, if it doesn't do that it closes (no error) when I press the "next" button), and I can't get Skype to recognize my headset (but PulseAudio does).
[04:26] <vede> I've only posted that here four times now.
[04:26] <Clorox> sorry....
[04:27] <prince_j1mmys> komies: that "malware remover" is highly suspect, anyway.
[04:27] <Clorox> people are just ignoring you because they have no idea what's wrong
[04:27] <computer_> vede, your whole system is up to date?
[04:27] <vede> As far as I know.
[04:27] <komies> Yeah... I figured I'd ask here.
[04:27] <vede> Just installed it yesterday.
[04:27] <vede> Got everything updated.
[04:27] <fefer> vede, error logs say anything?
[04:27] <komies> I dealt with malware on the time when I ran windows, but I've been ubuntu-only for over a year and never had a malware issue
[04:27] <vede> ... I dunno.
[04:27] <prince_j1mmys> komies: it reeks of phoniness, ie. being malware itself.
[04:27] <Clorox> vede: are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu
[04:27] <Clorox> or something else?
[04:28] <cdoublejj> can ubuntu remote desktop with only ubuntu ?
[04:28] <vede> Ubuntu, but I'm on xfce, not GNOME.
[04:28] <Clorox> ah
[04:28] <Clorox> GTK based.
[04:28] <computer_> use gnome
[04:28] <Clorox> so since VLC is a Qt application, it requires different libraries
[04:28] <vede> Aren't they both gtk-based?
[04:28] <komies> So pretty much I reached a dead end... and came here.
[04:28] <dsnyders> dbbolton, Check out http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[04:28] <Clorox> and generally doesn't work well in a GTK based DE
[04:29] <Clorox> Kubuntu is Qt
