[05:09] <PratikAnand> maco, I actually installed it for remastersys
[05:09] <W43372> ^b0ss^ what's inside after you extract it?
[05:10] <^b0ss^> 3 files and a txt
[05:10] <passingby123> I am trying to install jondo profile but everytime i choose it while starting FF i get a message that jondofox profile is already in use! i restarted the system too, but to no help.
[05:10] <passingby123> I am able to use the defualt profile
[05:11] <W43372> ^b0ss^ It's a tarball so you'll have to build it yourself more than likely. Hit up google for how to build from source
[05:11] <maco> PratikAnand: so you should be able to remove casper (which yeah will likely remove remastersys but you can reinstall them at the end) then update so that youre on current version numbers then reinstall remastersys and casper. also im being told that you ought to file a bug on udev that it should be "conflicts: casper" not "breaks; casper"
[05:11] <^b0ss^> :(
[05:11] <^b0ss^> gezzz
[05:11] <maco> PratikAnand: because breaks makes it do this stupidity while conflicts doesnt ;-)
[05:11] <^b0ss^> soo hard
[05:12] <^b0ss^> to install just a simple driver
[05:12] <^b0ss^> insane
[05:12] <W43372> ^b0ss^ not really.   I basically renamed the root in /dev/mapper but forgot to update /etc/fstab to reflect the changes.  Its going into busybox now.  I've tried editing the fstab and renaming it back in /dev/mapper to no avail.  Help!
[05:13] <^b0ss^> slip of the tougne
[05:13] <gohmifune> how is displaylink support?
[05:13] <majnoon> there used to be a gui to help configure apache
[05:13] <maco> PratikAnand: use "sudo dpkg -P --force-depends casper"
[05:14] <majnoon> is there nother one ??
[05:14] <maco> PratikAnand: what was this update that broke? were you upgrading from jaunty to karmic or karmic to lucid?
[05:14] <W43372> ^b0ss^ http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-source-files-in-ubuntu.html first result on google.  Worked for me, it's really simple.
[05:14] <maco> PratikAnand: or was it an update within karmic?
[05:14] <subone> Fireking300, try: `sed '/[A-Za-wyz]/d' $1 > $1.nocomments`
[05:14] <^b0ss^> m8 prb with me i didnt know i needed to do it ..or look for it
[05:14] <^b0ss^> thats what makes it so hard
[05:14] <^b0ss^> there is no support to tell ya what to do with these files once downloaded
[05:15] <^b0ss^> pretty retarded really
[05:15] <PratikAnand> maco, thnx a lot...the cmd worked :) :)
[05:15] <W43372> ^b0ss^ it's ok dude. it happems sometimes. Look at it this way, not everybody enjoys building a car from scratch either.
[05:15] <PratikAnand> maco, it was an update within 9.10
[05:16] <W43372> Anyway, as I said earlier, I'm having issues with keyboard shortcuts for switching between desktops.
[05:16] <^b0ss^> dude that link
[05:16] <W43372> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-source-files-in-ubuntu.html
[05:16] <maco> PratikAnand: ok well now its uninstalled you should be able to install updates
[05:16] <PratikAnand> maco, yes :)
[05:18] <khunter619> I downloaded Python http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.5/Python-2.6.5.tgz and then I did tar zxvf Python-2.6.5.tgz, then I cd into Python-2.6.5 and did ./configure and then make
[05:18] <W43372> I'm having issues with keyboard shortcuts for switching between desktops.
[05:18] <khunter619> Now I want to use IDLE (python GUI)
[05:19] <khunter619> I can't find it
[05:19] <khunter619> (in windows there was a shortcut to IDLE in programs menu)...
[05:19] <^b0ss^> hey all how the hell ya get to the desktop
[05:19] <^b0ss^> martin123@computer1:~$<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:20] <^b0ss^> bash<EMAIL_ADDRESS>No such file or directory
[05:20] <^b0ss^> martin123@computer1:~$
[05:20] <FloodBot2> ^b0ss^: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:20] <Hornet^> khunter619, you would have to find and install IDLE unless it's included.
[05:20] <BrandNew> Is there a way to change the uuid from BusyBox if sudo doesn't work?
[05:20] <stealth-> ^b0ss^: You desktop is located at /home/$USER/Desktop
[05:20] <Hornet^> ^b0ss^, I think it's actually ~/Desktop.  But just do ls -al ~ to see all of your directories.
[05:20] <stealth-> ^b0ss^: capitalization also matters, don't forget
[05:21] <sars> how do i apply the custom short-cut i have created? as soon as i hit 'apply' it revert to 'disabled' status.
[05:21] <W43372>  /quit I'll just come back later.
[05:21] <khunter619> Hornet^: where would I find IDLE from? Does it not come with the Python Linux download (as in for Windows)
[05:21] <stealth-> khunter619: open up a terminal, and type "python"
[05:21] <Fireking300> subone, Yes it worked thank you very much
[05:21] <netnat> IDLE is only for windows i think
[05:22] <stealth-> yeah, linux has a python "console" instead
[05:22] <Hornet^> khunter619, I have no idea.  Check the IDLE web-site, if they have one.
[05:22] <sars> idle is on 'software sources' ...
[05:22] <netnat> why do you need IDLE?i mean why do you prefer IDLE?
[05:23] <khunter619> In IDLE when I make a new .py file it is all coloured..the codings
[05:23] <Hornet^> khunter619, you could try apt-cache search python | grep idle and see if it shows up.  If it does, install it via apt-get install
[05:23] <stealth-> If I was to set someone up with ubuntu beta 1, would they just be able to do their updates, and pretty much have the exact same release as what will be released 22 days from now?
[05:23] <netnat> khunter619, doesn't gedit have it?
[05:24] <khunter619> gedit? how do I use it...
[05:24] <subone> ^b0ss^, do you know how to open a terminal?
[05:24] <khunter619> I managed to get to Python console
[05:24] <khunter619> i.e. >>>
[05:24] <subone> Fireking300, yw
[05:24] <^b0ss^> yes sudone
[05:25] <^b0ss^> subone
[05:25] <sars> how do i make custom keyboard shortcuts? i just want a shortcut to run terninal ... i want to make it Ctrl+T+E+R
[05:25] <subone> Fireking300, take note that the part 'a-wyz' is to avoid removing the 'x's in a few of the ips
[05:25] <khunter619> stealth: thanks for getting me into the Python console
[05:25] <^b0ss^> all im trying to do is install a driver .....and i cant even get someone to give me  the right command to get to the destop in termial
[05:25] <^b0ss^> lol
[05:26] <Fireking300> Ah okay well i got my finished text file all done
[05:26] <Hornet^> ^b0ss^, open a terminal.  cd ~/Desktop
[05:26] <netnat> ^b0ss^, cd ~/Desktop
[05:26] <passingby123> whenever i try to use jondofox profile in FF it says the profile is already in use!. please help
[05:26] <^b0ss^> that worked
[05:26] <cleaverroot> sars: System>Pref>keyboard shortcuts then add in command field type gnome-terminal
[05:27] <subone> damn
[05:27] <khunter619> Hornet^: apt-cache search python | grep idle http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/yNCfNXcq
[05:27] <subone> was just gonna tell him that cleaverroot... he left
[05:27] <warner> hi guys. how do i set environment variable in ubuntu? I want to set JAVA_HOME
[05:27] <netnat> passingby123, open terminal , killall firefox
[05:27] <^b0ss^> netnat
[05:27] <Hornet^> khunter619, which version of python do you have installed?
[05:28] <^b0ss^> i was sure it said extracted folder to desktop
[05:28] <^b0ss^> i go there no folder
[05:28] <^b0ss^> lol
[05:28] <khunter619> 2.6.5
[05:28] <warner> hi guys. how do i set environment variable in ubuntu? I want to set JAVA_HOME
[05:28] <stealth-> khunter619: yep :) Oh, and by the way, gedit is a text editor for linux with syntax hilighting. If you open a .py file, it will color everything like you were refering to earlier. It's not a interactive console though. It's like notepad with colors.
[05:28] <blackrock> Hi all, one thing. Is there any pdf readers with highlighter and comments capability ?
[05:28] <subone> ^b0ss^, use 'cd' to go to the directory where you untared the install.sh and its accompanieing files?>
[05:28] <Hornet^> ^b0ss^, maybe you haven't started a GUI session yet.
[05:28] <khunter619> stealth: Thanks!!!
[05:28] <subone> oops
[05:28] <passingby123> netnat: thats not the problem, i have done it and even restarted the system, it still says that profile is already in use. its really strange
[05:28] <warner> hi guys. how do i set environment variable in ubuntu? I want to set JAVA_HOME
[05:29] <^b0ss^> im running ubuntu
[05:29] <subone> !flood warner
[05:29] <^b0ss^> /home/martin123/drivers for printer
[05:29] <^b0ss^> this is where it says
[05:29] <^b0ss^> the drivers are
[05:29] <^b0ss^> but if i copy that in the termail
[05:29] <^b0ss^> it says no folder
[05:30] <warner> hi guys. how do i set environment variable in ubuntu? I want to set JAVA_HOME
[05:30] <warner> hi guys. how do i set environment variable in ubuntu? I want to set JAVA_HOME

[05:30] <khunter619> stealth-: Is there a way to make it like this that by pressing F5 it runs the code in the Python Shell?
[05:30] <subone> ^b0ss^, cd to that directory then and type `sudo ./install.sh`
[05:30] <^b0ss^> subone
[05:30] <^b0ss^> i dont see to be about to cd to the dir
[05:30] <^b0ss^> thats the main prob im having
[05:31] <khunter619> stealth-: I mean pressing F5 opens up the Python console and runs the script which we are editing
[05:31] <ZykoticK9> ^b0ss^, what directory is it in?
[05:31] <subone> ^b0ss^, did you untar it or are you just still looking at it in file roller?
[05:31] <stealth-> khunter619: I don't think so.... You can run your script by using the command "python yourscript.py", though
[05:31] <^b0ss^> i untar it
[05:31] <^b0ss^> and it said it is in
[05:32] <stealth-> khunter619: and it will print your output and everything into the console
[05:32] <^b0ss^> /home/martin123/drivers for printer
[05:32] <subone> ^b0ss^, untar /cnijfilter-mp490series-3.20-1-i386-deb/ to a directory you can cd into
[05:32] <^b0ss^> i downloaded the file
[05:32] <^b0ss^> off the net
[05:32] <^b0ss^> whats the default
[05:32] <^b0ss^> save dir
[05:33] <khunter619> stealth-: ok thanks for your help.
[05:33] <ZykoticK9> ^b0ss^, cd Downloads
[05:33] <gerzel> does the ubuntu 9.04 dvd come with both the 386 and 64 versions?
[05:33] <stealth-> khunter619: of course :)
[05:33] <^b0ss^> sooo weird
[05:33] <^b0ss^> not there now
[05:34] <subone> what do you mean default save directory... when you open the tar file in file roller Ctrl+E to extract opens a dialog for you to save the contents whereever you please
[05:34] <ZykoticK9> gerzel, don't think so - i believe there is a separate dvd for each architecture
[05:34] <gerzel> Does this matter?  I have a 64 bit machine but want to re-install grub using a 9.04 server dvd.  specifically from the Ubuntu Server book
[05:34] <^b0ss^> foudn the location
[05:35] <^b0ss^> file:///tmp
[05:35] <gerzel> I don't want to download a whole nother iso, I have 9.10 versions of Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu dled and burned.
[05:35] <airtonix> !enter | ^b0ss^
[05:36] <ZykoticK9> gerzel, are any of them 64bit versions?  so long as they are both the same version of ubuntu release wise, and the same architecture - any cd/dvd should work
[05:36] <subone> gerzel, afaik you can install just about any grub you want
[05:36] <^b0ss^> ok ....i now have to files saved to the download folder
[05:37] <subone> ^b0ss^, specifically you need to untar  'cnijfilter-mp490series-3.20-1-i386-deb'
[05:37] <^b0ss^> ok
[05:37] <gerzel> My situation is I have a 250 gig drive with ubuntu installed and running (other than grub which was messed up and currently resides on the other 500 gig drive..  On that 500 gig I want to try out windows 7. ideally dual booted with a fresh version of *buntu, and my old ubuntu system on the 250 gig listed in the bootloader.
[05:37] <subone> ^b0ss^, thats the actual driver install, the other tars are guide books
[05:38] <^b0ss^> /home/martin123/Downloads/cnijfilter-mp490series-3.20-1-i386-deb
[05:38] <gerzel> All my data is backed up onto the 250 gig, and it will remain untouched in this process as I plan on unplugging it in a bout of windows paranoia
[05:38] <^b0ss^> thats where i am at bro
[05:38] <subone> sudo /home/martin123/Downloads/cnijfilter-mp490series-3.20-1-i386-deb/install.sh
[05:39] <^b0ss^> woohooo
[05:39] <^b0ss^> its doing something
[05:39] <^b0ss^> lol
[05:39] <gerzel> I am unsure which version of Ubuntu my 250 has, if it is 386 or 64 bit.  How do I check to see if I have the 64 bit version installed?
[05:39] <^b0ss^> (Currently selected:[1]Canon MP490 series (/dev/usb/lp0))
[05:39] <^b0ss^> Enter the value. [1]
[05:39] <^b0ss^> hey m8
[05:39] <subone> ^b0ss^, the install.sh is whats called a bash (or sh) script, which handles the install for you, make sure you keep an eye on the terminal to check for errors
[05:40] <^b0ss^> no errors
[05:40] <^b0ss^> just asking
[05:40] <^b0ss^> to enter value
[05:40] <ZykoticK9> gerzel, if you're in the ubuntu version "uname -m"
[05:40] <gerzel> It is currently updated to 9.10 but it was installed a couple versions earlier.
[05:40] <^b0ss^> so i keep pressing enter....
[05:40] <^b0ss^> sorry
[05:40] <subone> pretty much
[05:40] <subone> unless your setup varies from the default options presented
[05:40] <^b0ss^> what value do i enter brother
[05:40] <gerzel> 86_64, that's amd 64 right?
[05:40] <ZykoticK9> gerzel, yes
[05:41] <gerzel> kk
[05:41] <subone> ^b0ss^, the '1' in the '[ ]' means hitting enter will default to selecting '1'
[05:41] <^b0ss^> arhh ok
[05:41] <^b0ss^> all done
[05:41] <^b0ss^> installed
[05:41] <^b0ss^> i think
[05:41] <FloodBot2> ^b0ss^: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:41] <^b0ss^> lol
[05:41] <subone> seriously stop that
[05:41] <ZykoticK9> !enter | ^b0ss^
[05:41] <^b0ss^> shit im doing it again ...i cant stop pressing enter when i type...lol sorry
[05:41] <gerzel> So I should be able to re-install grub onto the 250 gig harddrive using any of my 9.10 64 disks?
[05:42] <gerzel> Just to make sure(thanks for the help)
[05:42] <t0lkman52429> how to install .deb package and ignore dependeces?
[05:42] <t0lkman52429> when I install  dpkg -i libssl-dev_0.9.8g-15ubuntu3.4_amd64.deb
[05:43] <t0lkman52429> i get  "dpkg -i libssl-dev_0.9.8g-15ubuntu3.4_amd64.deb"
[05:43] <mosno> t0lkman52429: that's gotta be in the manpage, no
[05:43] <mosno> ?
[05:43] <ZykoticK9> gerzel, that should work to reinstall Grub yes - i'm going to send the ubottu grub2 message after this
[05:43] <t0lkman52429>  libssl-dev depends on libssl0.9.8 (= 0.9.8g-15ubuntu3.4); however:
[05:43] <t0lkman52429>   Version of libssl0.9.8 on system is 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.9.
[05:43] <ZykoticK9> !grub2 > gerzel
[05:43] <gerzel> kk thanks
[05:43] <t0lkman52429> man dpkg already checked, mosno
[05:43] <mosno> t0lkman52429: sorry i'm not on a debian system at the moment
[05:43] <^b0ss^> woohoooo
[05:44] <^b0ss^> thanks sooo much subone
[05:44] <akkan84> hey all
[05:44] <^b0ss^> my printer is now working fine .....:)
[05:44] <alienseer231> i have a hard drive that will not show up in fdisk or any other utility with vital information on it, how to even get the system to recognize its presence?
[05:44] <neoraj> what is dpkg
[05:44] <akkan84> i got a problem with gma 950 on 10.04 beta
[05:44] <Hornet^> alienseer231, Does it show up in your BIOS?
[05:45] <ZykoticK9> neoraj, command line install tool for DEB files
[05:45] <alienseer231> Hornet^: it is currently in an external enclosure
[05:45] <neoraj> what is deb files
[05:45] <akkan84> titlebar disappear when i turn on visual fx
[05:45] <mosno> neoraj: what is google
[05:45] <ZykoticK9> akkan84, reask your question in #ubuntu+1 the Lucid channel
[05:45] <ubuntoogle> deb = debian
[05:45] <Hornet^> alienseer231, connected via USB?
[05:45] <akkan84> kool thx
[05:45] <alienseer231> hornet^: yes\
[05:45] <neoraj> mosno,search engine
[05:45] <subone> ^b0ss^, yw, just remember to mind your manners in these chats, especially with the flooding and language. Be patient, someone will get to your issue if they know and are willing. The people in here are volunteers... I'm here looking for my own answers.
[05:45] <mosno> neoraj: congratulations!
[05:46] <neoraj> mosno, thank you very
[05:46] <mosno> neoraj: now, all your "what is" questions... type the keyword into google
[05:46] <mosno> :)
[05:46] <Hornet^> alienseer231, IIRC you can run 'dmesg' at a command line, look through the entries for an indication that a USB device has been attached.  It may mention which device under /dev it is.  If it does, all you have to do is mount /dev/foo /mnt/foo -t usbfs it.
[05:47] <^b0ss^> arhhh thanks so much for all ya support ..it was pulling my hair out sorry just wanted to install a printer and didnt know why i was having so much trouble ...i think the answer is i saved it im a temp dir i didnt hit save or something
[05:47] <ZykoticK9> alienseer231, to see if the system sees the drive at all you can run "sudo fdisk -l" in a terminal, which will list all drive/partitions Ubuntu sees
[05:48] <crucialhoax> @alienseer the command would be tail -f /var/log/dmesg
[05:48] <alienseer231>  ZykoticK9: it doesnt show
[05:48] <subone> neoraj,  http://lmgtfy.com/?q=deb+files
[05:48] <Hornet^> alienseer231, could be your USB drive requres external power?
[05:48] <ZykoticK9> alienseer231, that's not a good sign.  USB is plugged in and drive is turned on right?
[05:48] <crucialhoax> however: tail -f /var/log/messages will work as well
[05:49] <alienseer231> Hornet^: already powered
[05:49] <Hornet^> alienseer231, I would try a different computer.  Failing that you have a failing drive and/or USB enclosure.
[05:49] <alienseer231> ZykoticK9: yeah
[05:49] <Dirgh> i am unable to run .iso files on VLC, is there a way to do it?
[05:49] <Hornet^> I guess you could tail -f /var/log/dmesg as you unplug and replug the USB.
[05:49] <Hornet^> See if anything shows up.
[05:49] <ZykoticK9> Hornet^, +1
[05:50] <alienseer231> Hornet^: I know the drive is failing, I just don't know how to even begin to recover the data untill I can get the computer to recopgnize that there is a drive there at all
[05:50] <subone> I been here so long answering questions i forgot what my question was
[05:50] <subone> or if i had one...
[05:50] <^b0ss^> lol
[05:50] <^b0ss^> too funny
[05:50] <Hornet^> alienseer231, honestly, I would recommend you power down the drive for now.  Google a product called SpinRite.  It's saved many a failing drive I've been called on to recover.
[05:51] <^b0ss^> subone is sudo a command for example that means install or unpack or something ?
[05:51] <aperson> pidgin keeps crashing due to puleaudio.  I've looked for a solution to this, but haven't found anything.  any suggestions?
[05:51] <alienseer231> Hornet^: gotcha
[05:51] <cleaverroot> subone:  it was 'what is the avg airspeed of and unladen swallow right?
[05:51] <subone> ^b0ss^, sudo is the command to "do" something under the priveledges of the "Super User"
[05:52] <Hornet^> alienseer231, costs $60-ish for a license, if your data is important it's well worth it.  99% of the time I can recover all data on the drive using SpinRite alone.  Don't forget to get the data off and onto a known-good drive ASAP once SpinRite has done its thing.
[05:52] <subone> cleaverroot, aw man, i dont even think i could have made that question up
[05:52] <alienseer231> Hornet^: on it, I appreciate the help
[05:52] <subone> ^b0ss^, typically when installing something, especially drivers, you need to have root (su) privs
[05:53] <ZykoticK9> subone, "technically" sudo originated from su - which stands for "switch user" not "super user"
[05:53] <^b0ss^> there is only one account on this puter
[05:53] <subone> ZykoticK9, did not know that
[05:53] <^b0ss^> so im gussing it has admin priv would that be right ?
[05:53] <crucialhoax> yes
[05:54] <crucialhoax> sudo is the root equivalent in ubuntu systems
[05:54] <crucialhoax> or really any system that enables users in the sudoers file
[05:54] <Zenker> i messed up something when i was trying to remove compiz and now i have no window frames, i cant move anything i have running what can i do to fix this?
[05:54] <subone> funny i didnt pick up on that and ive been using sudo -u for that purpose lately
[05:54] <Status> Hornet^ best thing out there costs under $1 ;]
[05:54] <^b0ss^> :)
[05:54] <^b0ss^> we all learning
[05:54] <ZykoticK9> Zenker, metacity --replace
[05:55] <subone> beat me to it
[05:55] <Hornet^> Status, what is it?
[05:55] <Status> Hornet^ it's called ziplock bag....
[05:55] <papul> hi i want to start a repo server for my college. any guide or wiki regarding it?
[05:55] <Hornet^> Status, aah, freezer method?  I expected you to go with a quip about backing up regularly ;)
[05:55] <Status> put the drive in a sealed ziplock bag....get a conector from the drive with a usb conector at the other end...and freeze it...
[05:56] <Status> aligns the heads of the drive for as long as its cold...
[05:56] <Status> you copy whatever you need out of it...and dumb that crap in the garbage
[05:56] <crucialhoax> Status, is that true?
[05:56] <Status> spinrite aint got nothing on my fridge :D
[05:56] <Status> crucialhoax yes
[05:56] <crucialhoax> sweettttt
[05:56] <Zenker> ZykoticK9 what do i need to do to replace it?
[05:56] <Hornet^> The problem with that method is its a once-off and only lasts as long as the drive is cold...
[05:57] <crucialhoax> That is a neat trick
[05:57] <ramseynasser> hey all
[05:57] <crucialhoax> hey
[05:57] <Hornet^> I wonder if you could keep it sufficiently cool once it comes out of the freezer using compressed air.
[05:57] <Status> Hornet^ aham...and spinrite does miracles to you? ;]
[05:57] <crucialhoax> or nitrogen would work
[05:57] <Hornet^> Status, ooh yes.
[05:57] <Status> spinrite is just a software...
[05:57] <ZykoticK9> Zenker, sorry?  in a terminal or alt-f2 type "metacity --replace" which will switch back the the default gnome windows manager, from compiz -- you should have window boarders again
[05:57] <Status> no miracles there...
[05:57] <Status> the problem is hardware...fix the hardware = fix the problem...
[05:58] <^b0ss^> hey subone there is a program that my dad got with his phone
[05:58] <Status> you can either send it to the factory to get it fixed = tons of $$
[05:58] <maginot> zenixlive, you need to replace with metacity since you removed compiz
[05:58] <Status> or you can freeze it...
[05:58] <maginot> ops
[05:58] <maginot> wrong nick
[05:58] <Hornet^> Sure sure
[05:58] <maginot> Zenker,  you need to replace with metacity since you removed compiz
[05:58] <Status> if the drive doesn't work...you can't spinrite it :D
[05:58] <^b0ss^> its called motorola phone tools could you have a look at this website and recommand the right one for ubuntu
[05:58] <^b0ss^> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/motorola+phone+tools+for+linux/
[05:58] <Status> you make the heads align...the drive will magically come back to live
[05:59] <subone> ^b0ss^, that site is crap
[05:59] <Status> how much costs 1 ziplock bag?
[05:59] <Status> 20 cents?
[05:59] <crucialhoax> what does the cold climate do to the heads out of curiosity? it swells up?
[05:59] <^b0ss^> oh
[05:59] <^b0ss^> well im still learning ...lol ..im just trying to install the things he needs ...he said he wants his phone tools ...lol
[05:59] <subone> ^b0ss^, notice that everything on the page describes the search terms
[06:00] <Status> crucialhoax it makes them align back into place where they should be at in the first place...
[06:00] <Tobarja> but... but... they have "Patent Pending."
[06:00] <^b0ss^> yea i just noticed that..lol
[06:00] <subone> ^b0ss^, what model phone does he have exactly
[06:00] <^b0ss^> ill check one sec
[06:00] <Status> no software will do that for you...
[06:01] <Zenker> ZykoticK9, maginot that works but as soon as i close the terminal it stops, what now?
[06:01] <CaptainBriney> Hi, I just put 9.10 64 bit on my Apple Mac Book 4,1, and I'm having a lot of problems with the trackpad. It is very slow and unresponsive, and it tends to freeze up while moving it. I've tried messing with all of the mouse settings like sensitivity/accelleration, but it's not having any effects. what should I do?
[06:01] <maginot> Zenker, run from alt+f2 not from terminal
[06:01] <Status> so if you shake your hard-drive...or it gets banged etc...and gets unaligned = problems
[06:01] <Status> factory fix costs tons of $$
[06:01] <Zenker> maginot will it run when i start up after that?
[06:02] <crucialhoax> I understand that, I just dont understand how just a cold ambient temperature causes that..
[06:02] <ZykoticK9> Zenker, that's just a temporary fix - you need to switch off compiz permanently -- i'd recommend installing fusion-icon so you'll have a GUI to use.  Good luck man.
[06:02] <Status> hundreds to thousands..depending on how they feel about you
[06:02] <^b0ss^> its a motorloa BZ60
[06:02] <maginot> Zenker, probably, just give a try...
[06:02] <Zenker> kk brb wish me luck rofl
[06:02] <Status> so if you ever think about sending it to factory...ask a girl to do it for you...
[06:02] <CaptainBriney> Or is there any way to manually set the mouse sensitivity?
[06:02] <Status> maybe she'll get a better deal?
[06:02] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, is it a synaptics?
[06:02] <Status> :D
[06:02] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: I'm not sure.
[06:02] <Dougdoug4> where are the ubuntu default themes located (9.10)?
[06:03] <maco> Status: what if you're already a girl?
[06:03] <Tobarja> ~800USD
[06:03] <Tobarja> starting price
[06:03] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, hmm, the mouse settings under System > Preferences > Mouse aren't applying?
[06:03] <subone> ^b0ss^, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=motorola+BZ60+ubuntu
[06:03] <ramseynasser> trying to install linux on an Acer Aspire One ZG5 with an 8GB SSD. at first, i tried UNR, but it freezes at 70% when "starting partitioner". i read something about the first 8Mb of the drive being unwritable, so I left the first 16Mb unused and built my partitions starting from there. it all worked fine and installed the entire system, but something went wrong with grub and the system wouldnt boot (blank screen,
[06:03] <ramseynasser> blinking cursor). now I am trying ubuntu 9.10. i read that it works out of the box, but I am getting the same freeze out ay 70% in the same place. is there anything I should do to get it to work? either ubuntu or unr would be fine at this point.
[06:04] <Status> maco depends on how good-looking you are :D
[06:04] <^b0ss^> subone if ya like at the first link
[06:04] <Zenker_> maginot dang nope it didnt start up that way, is there a way to "go back" to the orig config b4 i installed compiz?
[06:04] <Status> if you're ugly as a dog...send it yourself...since I'm pretty sure you won't have any hot chicks hanging around with you anyhow ;]
[06:04] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: No, they seem to have no effect. Sensitivity and acceleration don't do anything at all. I've also tried using xset m and then things like 1/1 and 10/10 and 5/5 but nothing seems to change it. The mouse is still very insensitive, and it takes many drags to get the mouse across the screen. Sometimes it will become incredibly sensitive.
[06:05] <^b0ss^> it says the phones suported even though we added it to the search thingy ....the BZ60 isnt on the suported list
[06:05] <Dougdoug4> where are the ubuntu default themes located (9.10)?
[06:05] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: Also, the mouse will stop halfway through the path for a second and then continue. I plugged in a USB mouse and it works just fine but I would really like to get the trackpad working properly.
[06:05] <Status> if you're decent looking...pick the hottest.. deal maker of the bunch...
[06:05] <subone> ^b0ss^, you cant always get what you want, but if you TRY sometimes, my might find, you get what you need... do some more research
[06:06] <cleaverroot> Status: just looked here up she is pretty.
[06:06] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, I am about to give you the ubuntu macbook page. one moment
[06:06] <darlykaiser> hello any one
[06:06] <Status> cleaverroot who's pretty?
[06:06] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: Okay, thanks for your help.
[06:06] <darlykaiser> I just want to know how to open ports for transmission?
[06:07] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook4-1/Karmic#Touchpad (appletouch)
[06:07] <crucialhoax> there is some known issues
[06:07] <Zenker_> i guess the easiest thing i can do is just reinstall compiz and the fusion icon and leave it on metacity or does anyone else have a suggestion
[06:08] <crucialhoax> Zenker_, are you trying a new WM?
[06:08] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: Yeah, it's just telling you how to use multi-touch. I used this page to fix everything else :)
[06:08] <Zenker_> crucialhoax what is WM?
[06:08] <^b0ss^> hey subone the motorola pack in package manager
[06:08] <subone> Zenker_, window manager
[06:08] <^b0ss^> is that a goer?
[06:09] <Dougdoug4> where are the ubuntu default themes located (9.10)?
[06:09] <crucialhoax> window manager
[06:09] <Zenker_> ahh.
[06:09] <crucialhoax> I mean are you trying to go from gnome to like xfce?
[06:09] <w4> surabaya
[06:10] <Zenker_> is that "wmanager" in the package manager?
[06:10] <^b0ss^> hey all i have installed a program for my phone under package manager is there anything else i need to do ...like a sudo thingy
[06:10] <Dougdoug4> where are the ubuntu default themes located (9.10)? the files.. of the thems
[06:10] <^b0ss^> no in ubuntu
[06:10] <subone> Dougdoug4, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+themes+directory&l=1
[06:10] <^b0ss^> EG how do i get to the program doesnt seem to be in applications
[06:11] <CaptainBriney> I'm just going to make a post about it. Thanks for your help.
[06:12] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, I did a quick google on your model and didn't find much for ubuntu 9.10. Hopefully this gets solved
[06:12] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, I do have 1 last suggestion
[06:12] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: yeah, me too haha it's sort of an issue that I would like to fix. Thanks for all your help!
[06:12] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: what would that be?
[06:13] <OsvaldAnteros> where can i go to learn leet?
[06:13] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, under Applications do you see a System tools menu?
[06:13] <Zenker> ok, i just reinstalled the fusion icon (and related stuff) and that worked, now, how do i get rid of compiz w/o this issue?
[06:13] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: No, I do not.
[06:13] <subone> ^b0ss^, what package did you install exactly
[06:13] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, OK. Go to System > Preferences > Main Menu
[06:14] <adelcampo> I'm using Lucid Lynx and the oxygen cursor shows correctly when my cursor is inside applications but it's black when I do right click menus or anywhere else on the desktop. What gives?
[06:14] <subone> Zenker, you can uninstall compiz if it doesnt work for you... in which case you dont need the icon either
[06:14] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: Okay.
[06:14] <^b0ss^> m8 when i add the phone ....it just seems to work now
[06:14] <^b0ss^> it gives me a folder ..with everything that is on the phone
[06:14] <^b0ss^> im guessing that is how it works .::)
[06:14] <subone> Zenker, though i recommend more research, if you are not using the latest or greatest video drivers you might be able to get it to work with some effort
[06:14] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, Click on system tools and put a check next to configuration editor
[06:15] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: okay, done.
[06:15] <subone> ^b0ss^, most phones you can just plug in with mass usb turned on and it will work fine for moving files around on it
[06:15] <Zenker> subone i did uninstall it, i also lost windows, so i reinstalled it :(, its not that it dosent work in fact it worked just fine, but it conflicts with blender, the primary reason i installed ubuntu in the 1st place
[06:15] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, now go to Applications > System Tools > Configuration Editor
[06:15] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: I'm already here :) what would you like me to edit?
[06:15] <subone> Zenker, perhaps you can run blender from a bash script that changes your window manager before and after it runs
[06:16] <ZykoticK9> adelcampo, you should really reask your question in the Lucid channel #ubuntu+1
[06:16] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, I just would like to know what you see lol
[06:16] <adelcampo> Zykotick9 thanks!
[06:16] <dms> who can hlep me?
[06:16] <^b0ss^> ok thats great....it just loads straight up
[06:16] <Zenker> subone id rather remove compiz and restore ubuntu to its original glory b4 it was ever installed
[06:16] <^b0ss^> very nice
[06:16] <^b0ss^> :)
[06:16] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, Oops
[06:17] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, On the left, you see desktop right?
[06:17] <^b0ss^> dms ...just say the prob
[06:17] <^b0ss^> and someone will help
[06:17] <dms> my computer ubuntu linux is
[06:17] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: okay haha so it says apps, desktop, schemas, system. I've done a little probing around. I found under desktop -> peripherals -> trackpad or mouse
[06:17] <^b0ss^> great channel....getting all my goodies installed:)
[06:17] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: erm I mean touchpad
[06:17] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, you want the trackpad
[06:17] <Zenker> also i want to uninstall ubuntustudio, so im thinking a reformat/reinstall may be the best bet, what do u guys think?
[06:17] <subone> Zenker, i found after installing compiz, although i worked really hard to get it to work, even though it ran really well and fast on my machine, i just didnt _need_ it to be productive. though i did learn a lot in the process :)
[06:17] <dms> i can't instell soft
[06:18] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, Likewise haha I mean touchpad*
[06:18] <^b0ss^> yea ..i had the same prob what software you looking to install m8
[06:18] <subone> ^b0ss^, thats the spirit :)
[06:18] <^b0ss^> :)
[06:18] <^b0ss^> my new fav channel
[06:18] <^b0ss^> :)
[06:18] <crucialhoax> dms, what software are you looking to install?
[06:19] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: right. I'm thinking I need to add a new key for motion_acceleration and motion_threshold because they're there for mouse and not for touchpad
[06:19] <dms> en
[06:19] <^b0ss^> en?
[06:19] <dms> no  i am chinese

[06:20] <dms> yes
[06:20] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, I have config_migration_needed (unchecked) , disable_while_typing (unchecked), horiz_scroll_enabled (unchecked) scroll_method is 1 and tap_to_click (checked)

[06:21] <dms> yeh
[06:21] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: I have the same. I think that if I add 2 keys it will help. I'm going to try.
[06:21] <dms> 有谁会说中文？
[06:21] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, go for it
[06:21] <subone> Opinions: I'm working on a web app and bash scripts to control my computer by my phone. I already have my displays handled and i can control and play whatever movies, gonna work on music next. What else should I add?

[06:25] <dms> why I computer can't unlist the soft?
[06:25] <magn3ts> Is it possible to get my install date?
[06:25] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: I need to go to bed haha I will try to fix it tomorrow. Thanks for all the great help.
[06:25] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, hmm. Well there has to be some way to configure the touchpad correctly
[06:25] <Random832> !sr | Zenker
[06:25] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: yeah, there has to be. I will figure it out tomorrow when I have my wits about me.
[06:25] <^b0ss^> i not sure DMS i thought i was just a matter of clicking on the button that says unlist
[06:25] <Random832> no ubuntu serbian channel?
[06:26] <^b0ss^> is there no option to uninstall or something?
[06:26] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, Ha, alright. sounds good. Best of luck to you :)
[06:26] <Zenker> Random832 dont worry about it, i was messin with the google translator ;)
[06:26] <CaptainBriney> crucialhoax: thanks so much :)
[06:26] <crucialhoax> CaptainBriney, No problem.
[06:26] <^b0ss^> now that the main things are installed .....ubuntu can have a rest :)
[06:26] <subone> ^b0ss^, `sudo apt-get remove packagename`
[06:27] <feng>  Talking about ubuntu with english?
[06:27] <guest59768> hello and good evening. my raid controller card needs a driver installed. i have the driver, how do i install it? thanks alot!
[06:27] <^b0ss^> there ya go DMS
[06:27] <^b0ss^> sudo apt-get remove packagename`
[06:27] <^b0ss^> subone
[06:27] <^b0ss^> just show ya how :)
[06:27] <^b0ss^> hey subone that program ya making is it like a vmware type thing?
[06:28] <feng> this channel is foreign?
[06:28] <crucialhoax> feng, no it is english lol
[06:28] <k4rt33k> Any comments on the hindi fonts?
[06:29] <subone> ^b0ss^, no its just a simple web interface, like a remote control
[06:29] <dms> he? why i'm ubuntu can't look the windows 7 's files
[06:29] <^b0ss^> oh ok
[06:29] <^b0ss^> remote host type thing
[06:29] <crucialhoax> subone, so the pc you are connecting to has a public IP?
[06:29] <k4rt33k> !in | k4rt33k
[06:29] <^b0ss^> owww cyber sex
[06:30] <^b0ss^> :P
[06:30] <subone> crucialhoax, some ports, but not my www, i just connect through wifi on my phone and use internal ip
[06:30] <michaelwoo> ^b0ss^,  lol
[06:30] <feng> haw
[06:30] <subone> crucialhoax, i do way to much experimentation on this box than to allow that :p
[06:30] <^b0ss^> arhh so you have to be in range of your wifi though so ....around the house ?
[06:31] <dms> ^boss^ :can you help me ?
[06:31] <^b0ss^> im trying brother
[06:31] <crucialhoax> subone, so you cant access the interface from a friends house per say, it has to be from the host network?
[06:31] <^b0ss^> sudo apt-get remove packagename`
[06:31] <michaelwoo> dms, what's your problem?
[06:31] <^b0ss^> thats the command for uninstalling i was tolld
[06:31] <crucialhoax> subone, thats ok, curiosity is not a bad thing :)
[06:32] <subone> ^b0ss^, yeah, but as i said its like a remote control, so i can be sitting on the couch and start a movie, full screen it, kill processes and stuff, by buttons and text boxes rather than ssh, which is what ive been doing
[06:32] <feng> just it's native channel!
[06:32] <^b0ss^> oh ..wicked
[06:32] <^b0ss^> so you got your puter connected to the TV
[06:32] <crucialhoax> that is pretty cool.
[06:32] <subone> crucialhoax, i could eventually put it live so i could access it outside the network, but ill wait til its secure and i vhost it on another port
[06:33] <subone> ^b0ss^, no but ive got two 23" wide screen monitors
[06:33] <subone> what im doing maybe not the best way to do it, just the way i got it to work :p
[06:33] <crucialhoax> sudo apt-get purge <package-name> does a better job
[06:34] <subone> for example, my web server has to `sudo -u subone` just to access my display
[06:34] <dms> what install *.rpm
[06:35] <subone> you should see my sudoers file... its getting bigger
[06:35] <hateball> !rpm | dms
[06:35] <dms> yeh ?
[06:36] <dms> why ?
[06:36] <crucialhoax> then if that command left any orphaned packages sudo apt-get autoremove
[06:36] <crucialhoax> ubuntu uses .deb...
[06:37] <dms> so?
[06:37] <Avait> hi there
[06:37] <dms> are you use wine?
[06:37] <crucialhoax> RPM is the RHEL Package System correct, however, Yum is APT for those based systems...
[06:37] <dms> what wine used?
[06:38] <woodong50_> hi
[06:38] <subone> dms, do you know what google is in chinese?
[06:38] <eddified> i used a gnome debug tool once that works like this: you run it, then click on a window you want info for, and then it will display all kinds of info about the window, like x and y values etc. anyone know the tool i'm looking for? i can't find it on google.
[06:39] <dms> yes ,the google in the home kong
[06:39] <subone> oh cool the google chinese page has cool little animated dots lol
[06:40] <crucialhoax> eddified, I have never heard of that. Most programs can be ran from the terminal. That will supply information as well.
[06:40] <dms> i 'm not computer know
[06:40] <Vigo> eddified: Maybe: http://projects.gnome.org/nemiver/
[06:40] <eddified> crucialhoax: yes i believe i ran it from the commandline
[06:40] <xSnarkfishx> greetings
[06:41] <crucialhoax> eddified, Ok, so if you wanted to see why VLC kept crashing you would want to spawn VLC from the terminal, not the icon
[06:41] <crucialhoax> hello xSnarkfishx

[06:51] <dms> no
[06:51] <crucialhoax> lol538, are you using Network Manager?

[06:52] <eddified> i cant get any indication that it is detecting wireless networks
[06:52] <Vigo> goddard: System>Preferences>Preferred Applications, I think

[06:57] <eddified> crucialhoax: (and whoever else helped me with grub boot options): thanks, it worked.
[06:57] <Xerran> chink?
[06:58] <hubh> test
[06:58] <Xerran> pretty racist
[06:58] <toffee> they called themselves with this
[06:58] <ardchoille> !ot
[06:58] <toffee> they are silly
[06:59] <rshakin> hey anyone is using RT2070 chipset for wireless
[06:59] <crucialhoax> eddified, Perfect :)
[06:59] <odit> hi
[07:00] <crucialhoax> eddified, Try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsNetgear
[07:00] <crucialhoax> rshakin, What is the problem?
[07:02] <eddified> crucialhoax: i dont see my model of wireless card in that list :(
[07:02] <rshakin> crucialhoax: i've folowed the tenda w54u1 instructions that are on the forums to get it to work now it sorta works with the updated kernel image that someone has compiled, but i still get no WAP
[07:03] <crucialhoax> eddified, Then it might not be supported.
[07:03] <rshakin> crucialhoax: the forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9086242#post9086242
[07:05] <crucialhoax> rshakin, I do not know. Sorry, the problem looks a little out of my league :(
[07:05] <rshakin> crucialhoax: yeah i've been working on it too
[07:07] <crucialhoax> rshakin, That forum thread looks promising though.
[07:07] <eddified> my network connections window is confused. under "last used" column it says "never" for auto eth0 ... but i'm using it now... and have used it many times before. anyone know what might be going on here?
[07:08] <rshakin> crucialhoax: i've been working on it too, trying to get it working too, so far no good progress since my c is super rusty
[07:08] <crucialhoax> eddified, I don't think there is a problem here.
[07:08] <crucialhoax> rshakin, Hey, at least you know C. I think it will be resolved.
[07:08] <eddified> crucialhoax: i was just hoping if i fixed that, maybe my wireless problems would be easier to diagnose and solve
[07:09] <eddified> there is a problem with ubuntu networking, perhaps it also affect wireless, is my reasoning
[07:09] <crucialhoax> eddified, No, but when you type lspci -vvnn what are the specifics on the wireless card?
[07:09] <^b0ss^> to channel ....thank you so much for the support ....
[07:09] <running_rabbit07> If one wanted to change the name of the home folder, how would he do it?

[07:10] <^b0ss^> :)
[07:10] <crucialhoax> running_rabbit07, Create a new user
[07:10] <eddified> that's a cool command
[07:10] <crucialhoax> running_rabbit07, The home folder is named home because it is in /home/<your user name>

[07:22] <subone> hmm does anyone know of a utility like devilspie, that instantly moves a desired window's geometry/location. devilspie runs in the background to do it, but in some cases i want to initiate it through a script for wome windows
[07:23] <crucialhoax> eddified
[07:23] <crucialhoax> haha oops
[07:23] <darolu> subone, I don't know of a specific program that does that but  you can get similar results with a compiz plug in
[07:24] <hacster> connect #cakephp
[07:24] <darolu> hacster, try with "/join #cakephp"
[07:24] <Aquina> someone a clue about disk quotas? my entry for user "root" is wrong.
[07:24] <subone> darolu, i prefer not to run compiz, i just want to be able to move a window from cli
[07:25] <crucialhoax> ^b0ss^, The only version with a release date close to 4/14 that I see is Fedora 13 Beta which is 4/13
[07:26] <^b0ss^> hmm
[07:26] <^b0ss^> i was reading someone else talking about it m8
[07:26] <^b0ss^> CH
[07:26] <^b0ss^> you have openoffice installed m8
[07:26] <crucialhoax> yes i do
[07:27] <^b0ss^> for some reason ....the langauge is in russain or something

[07:27] <j_> Is it safe to use wifi on linux?
[07:27] <crucialhoax> j_, Yes
[07:28] <Cfox-> !help
[07:28] <darolu> ^b0ss^, use translate.google.com it helped me once
[07:28] <subone> yay http://tripie.sweb.cz/utils/wmctrl/
[07:28] <crucialhoax> ^b0ss^, under what part? writer?
[07:28] <^b0ss^> CH i dont understand what ya mean
[07:29] <crucialhoax> What application from OO.org?
[07:29] <j_> Is there any program or software to make it more safe to surf to wifi?
[07:29] <^b0ss^> it was already installed
[07:29] <^b0ss^> when i installed ubuntu
[07:29] <^b0ss^> i think
[07:29] <crucialhoax> j_, Use an encrypted connection from the router. As in WPA or WEP schemes
[07:29] <SHELLZ> In need of a free psyBNC or SHELL account? Simply go to www.freeunixshell.com and follow the instructions.
[07:30] <crucialhoax> ^b0ss^, I know, but what icon are you clicking on to get to open office?
[07:30] <^b0ss^> the one in apps
[07:30] <^b0ss^> apps office
[07:30] <crucialhoax> word?
[07:30] <^b0ss^> yea
[07:30] <^b0ss^> word
[07:31] <crucialhoax> okay
[07:31] <j_> crucialhoax, I have question about Password and Encryption Keys. Default. Is it possible that someone can steal your password?
[07:31] <darolu> j_, wifi security should be managed from the wireless router you use, using wep is not recommended anymore; use wpa-psk with a strong password and hidden.
[07:32] <shay2772> Hello , I installed Ettercap on my machine but when i start it using the next command : "sudo ettercap -G" i get the following msg : "Dissector "dns" not supported (etter.conf line 70)" any idea how to fix this ?
[07:32] <crucialhoax> j_, Depending on what encryption you are using. WPA with a random password that only you know will be extremely hard to crack.
[07:32] <crucialhoax> ^b0ss^, tools is the 6th menu over
[07:32] <crucialhoax> options is the last entry
[07:33] <jameschu> hello

[07:36] <^b0ss^> lol
[07:36] <darolu> ^b0ss^,  what I did once was use google translator; for example type "tool" and translate to russian (it was russian right?) and browse around until you find the same/similar symbols

[07:44] <subone> hmm does anyone knwo if it is possible to use wmctrl to move a window outside of the desktop area? wont seem to let me make a window show up on more than one screen
[07:44] <bullgard> "'~ $ sudo do-release-upgrade' will perform an in-place upgrade." Where can I find a description of this command?
[07:45] <crucialhoax> ^b0ss^, sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org-core
[07:45] <hateball> !upgrade | bullgard
[07:45] <Vigo> !upgrade | bullgard
[07:47] <crucialhoax> ^b0ss^, then once that is finished, sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-core
[07:47] <^b0ss^> ok
[07:47] <b1ah> varetes den einai oi wraies gomenes gia paradigma
[07:47] <nomad77> ^b0ss^: i'd do sudo apt-get remove --purge, it removes the configs as well
[07:47] <b1ah> sorry wrong chan
[07:48] <bullgard> hateball: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes does not even mention the term.
[07:48] <crucialhoax> nomad77, good point. in this case that might be helpful.
[07:48] <^b0ss^> all goood
[07:48] <^b0ss^> english now
[07:49] <^b0ss^> thanks CH that fixed it .....
[07:49] <crucialhoax> ^b0ss^, sweet!
[07:49] <^b0ss^> :)
[07:49] <bullgard> Vigo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes does not even mention the term.
[07:49] <^b0ss^> tha was weird
[07:49] <^b0ss^> lol
[07:49] <crucialhoax> lol I bet
[07:49] <Vigo> bullgard: From what to what?
[07:51] <Vigo> bullgard: There is an alt-F2 command, but here is the Ubuntu page: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[07:51] <hateball> bullgard: it's mainly used for servers. for desktop installations you can use upgrade-manager
[07:52] <crucialhoax> If bullgard is going from like 8.04 an upgrade could prove to be disastrous. Download or buy a install cd and do a clean install.
[07:52] <jhamlin_> when I maximize a window in fluxbox it always leaves a little gap between the window and the bottom and right of the screen.  How can I fix this?

[07:53] <AstroMix> Hi, I'm trying to do a few things — bought a laptop from best buy this evening, Windows 7 standard. I formatted the drive, installed ubuntu on a partition and formatted the other partition ntfs for windows. My laptop apparently has no XP chipset drivers for SATA so XP install is breaking when attempted. I think I found the drivers I need online, but they're windows executables — anyone have an idea what I should do, I've asked in #
[07:53] <whw> hi
[07:54] <whw> 老肖
[07:54] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: Are you trying to put XP and Ubuntu on this new lappy?
[07:55] <phani> Hi.. I am using hardy 8.0.4 . I have compiler which is gcc and it shows gcc (GCC) 4.2.4 (Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu4) . How can I change it to 4.4.3
[07:55] <phani> any suggestions please...
[07:56] <^b0ss^> ok everything is in english on openoffice
[07:56] <^b0ss^> what  a nice change
[07:56] <^b0ss^> heheeh
[07:56] <^b0ss^> main thing learnt today ..i dont know russian
[07:56] <crucialhoax> ^b0ss^: bahaha
[07:56] <^b0ss^> :P
[07:57] <shazbotmcnasty> ¯\(°_o)/¯
[07:57] <^b0ss^> ok everything is working ..
[07:57] <^b0ss^> this is amazing ...!!!!!
[07:57] <AstroMix> crucialhoax: yeah I am
[07:57] <AstroMix> crucialhoax: ubuntu is already on and running fine as expected
[07:57] <^b0ss^> i happy as a pig in sh#$
[07:57] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: I dont think you will find XP drivers for your laptop. But if Ubuntu is running fine no wories.
[07:57] <Vigo> ^b0ss^: Now back it up.
[07:58] <^b0ss^> best way to backup ubuntu ?
[07:58] <Vigo> !backup
[07:58] <blinkiz> Hello. I use PREROUTING in iptables to redirect port 443 to 4282. I would like to know if this is possible to do from the command line with ufw?
[07:58] <crucialhoax> Vigo: Agreed
[07:58] <jud> why do i get the reply 'cannot send to channel'?
[07:58] <^b0ss^> vigo ...what would you recommand ..
[07:59] <^b0ss^> all much the same
[07:59] <^b0ss^> ?
[07:59] <AstroMix> crucialhoax: I did find the drivers
[07:59] <aiakeng> phani,Use : apt-get install gcc
[07:59] <AstroMix> crucialhoax: they're just .exe, and short of creating a windows install iso with them in there I dunno what to do
[07:59] <Vigo> ^b0ss^: I like them all, Simple Home Backup is good, or HUB
[07:59] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: Then I am confused with what exactly you need assistance with...
[08:00] <crucialhoax> I apologize
[08:00] <^b0ss^> i would like to do a complete drive backup
[08:00] <AstroMix> crucialhoax:  you and me both ^^
[08:00] <^b0ss^> as i have a 1TB or free space
[08:00] <^b0ss^> on other drives
[08:00] <crucialhoax> Vigo: Deja Dup is another good one.
[08:00] <jud> anyone? what's the reason for         'cannot send to channel'?
[08:00] <AstroMix> i guess an alternate question would be how well is VirtualBox's 3d acceleration now?
[08:00] <phani> aiakeng: when i do that it says its already the latest version but when i type gcc --version it shows 4.2.4 but i require 4.4.3
[08:00] <geirha> phani: There's no gcc-4.4 in 8.04's repositories. You'll have to either find a PPA that has it, or build it yourself.
[08:01] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: I have not personally used that feature so I would not know.
[08:01] <phani> geirha: what is PPA
[08:01] <Vigo> ^b0ss^: Dupelicity, Deja Dupe, and others, just back it up since you have it working the way you want it to.
[08:01] <geirha> !ppa | phani
[08:02] <^b0ss^> vigo
[08:02] <AstroMix> anyone able to run ie7/8 in wine?
[08:02] <^b0ss^> do they backup the whole drive m8
[08:02] <AstroMix> <— web dev needs to test IE, but loves linux more than windows.
[08:02] <phani> ubottu : thank you
[08:03] <Ganymede> AstroMix, i just have a bunch of virtual machines, each with a different set of browsers/versions
[08:03] <Vigo> ^b0ss^: Yes, they are also selective, like, backup this, but not that, is all user preference.
[08:03] <aiakeng> phani,sorry i mistook your meaning entirely.
[08:04] <phani> aiakeng : no probs
[08:04] <^b0ss^> nice man
[08:04] <AstroMix> Ganymede: how big do you make them?
[08:04] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: What are you installing?
[08:04] <^b0ss^> this is the first time i have had a linux system work the they i wanted
[08:04] <Ascavasaion> I have shared a folder on Ubuntu machine using Samba.  I can access it from my XP machine, but not from my old Win 98 machine.  Win98 machine keeps prompting for a password.  I have tried all passwords and even left the password field blank.
[08:04] <^b0ss^> and be able to install all the devices ......bloody amazing
[08:05] <Ganymede> AstroMix, 10 gigs is usually more than enough for XP with nothing but a browser, linux installs can get smaller
[08:05] <AstroMix> crucialhoax: well, i've been trying to put XP on a partition, but as I said, no SATA chipset drivers — so I need to do something else
[08:05] <Ganymede> AstroMix, i haven't even tried vista/7 virtual machines yet, they'd probably be pretty giant
[08:05] <^b0ss^> i have
[08:05] <AstroMix> nah i just need IE 6 / 7 / 8
[08:05] <^b0ss^> i done both
[08:05] <AstroMix> 7 / Vista is stupid huge, which is why I wanted to install a stripped down XP
[08:06] <AstroMix> but I guess I can just do that in VM
[08:06] <Vigo> ^b0ss^: Took alot of work from many volunteers to get it to this, please enjoy and submit any fixes or knowledge to the Forums. Thank you.
[08:06] <AstroMix> i had hoped that I might be able to mount my partition through vm so i could access it while in my linux environment
[08:06] <crucialhoax> 7 is like a ~30 gb install...
[08:06] <mirsal> AstroMix, yes, or not at all.
[08:06] <k4rt33k> Anyone use mlterm here?
[08:07] <AstroMix> mirsal:  what do you mean?
[08:07] <beaver3> search the web www.search2.net
[08:08] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: I have not yet figured out how to access files from VM to Host.
[08:08] <mirsal> AstroMix, I just logged in, I missed all what you said before 9:05
[08:08] <Ganymede> yeah...i usually don't have to worry about VM size though because we have a 9TB raid...so i haven't played with how small i can get a vista/7 VM to be
[08:09] <crucialhoax> Ganymede: Are you sure that is enough space ;P
[08:09] <mirsal> AstroMix, (win 7 is fat, you want to install XP in a vm)
[08:10] <AstroMix> i found an XP torrent that apparently has the sata chipset drivers I need, huzzah
[08:10] <Ganymede> crucialhoax, wouldn't it be?
[08:10] <mirsal> AstroMix, My point being: don't install MS Windows.
[08:10] <mirsal> ^^
[08:10] <farciarz84> I put a pendrive but cannot remove anything. Error: "read-only filesystem".  But take up waaay too much space.
[08:12] <blinkiz> Hello. with ip6tables, how do I redirect all incoming traffic to port 80, into the port 8080?
[08:12] <Ganymede> crucialhoax, ehh...RAID setups are getting really cheap nowadays...you can buy a SAS RAID card for like $500 or $1000 and then ten 1 TB disks for another like $800
[08:12] <crucialhoax> farciarz84: Nevermind. I was hoping you would say ext3 or something lol
[08:12] <Ganymede> crucialhoax, i don't know what our RAID is on, probably a NetApp filer
[08:12] <AstroMix> mirsal: nothing, my old machine's mobo just died, so i went and bought this laptop — but it's not built to downgrade to xp
[08:12] <mirsal> (morning everyone by the way)
[08:13] <crucialhoax> morning
[08:14] <mirsal> AstroMix, Oh, I see.
[08:14] <mirsal> AstroMix, tpb Then
[08:14] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: MS wont be supporting XP for much longer. I dont see how they can. It is sooo old.
[08:14] <AstroMix> when you guys create VMs, do you use dynamically expanding storage? or fixed sized?
[08:14] <crucialhoax> Dynamic! always.
[08:14] <shazbotmcnasty> dynamical
[08:14] <AstroMix> crucialhoax: bah, it's really just IE6+ i'm after
[08:14] <shazbotmcnasty> lol al
[08:15] <mirsal> AstroMix, depends on what you use it for
[08:15] <crucialhoax> Oh ok.
[08:15] <AstroMix> i know i can run my online games through wine, i do it on my macbook pro
[08:15] <mirsal> AstroMix, for running another desktop OS, use dynamic
[08:15] <AstroMix> :P
[08:15] <farciarz84> I put a pendrive but cannot remove anything. Error: "read-only filesystem". How can I solve that? filesystem: W95 FAT32, and why linux sucks all the time?;)
[08:15] <nomad77>   AstroMix try ies4linux
[08:16] <AstroMix> i have but that gives me the 7 alpha
[08:16] <jhamlin_> when I maximize a window it doesn't actually become fully maximized.  in fluxbox.  How can I fix?
[08:16] <AstroMix> and i tried gutting the engine of 6 and replacing it with 7 but that didn't work out well
[08:16] <crucialhoax> A fixed file is what it says. VM creates a 12GB right then and there and uses that to write to. Where as dynamic creates the space on the fly.
[08:18] <AstroMix> anyone hear of an updated ies4linux? I think that project died
[08:18] <aiakeng> AstroMix,I'm curious about the game.What's game?
[08:18] <AstroMix> Final Fantasy XI
[08:19] <ubuntu> MY screen keep truning GRAY the entire screen!
[08:19] <AstroMix> installed Wine on Snow Leopard and it runs great
[08:19] <ubuntu> i am using 10 04 live cd
[08:19] <hateball> !ot | AstroMix
[08:19] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Installation
[08:19] <AstroMix> aww… someone asked me though~! don't hate me ubottu
[08:19] <Crash1hd> ok in terminal if I do tar xvfz foo.tar.gz it goes into a folder called foo/ is there any way to get it to go into a folder called bar/ ?
[08:20] <AstroMix> crucialhoax: ies4linux project still works, but it only installs IEs 5, 5.5, and 6 with an optional ie 7 alpha release — which isn't really too helpful these days
[08:20] <ubuntu> join #ubuntu-bugs
[08:21] <hateball> Crash1hd: should be able to specify the desired location after the filename
[08:21] <crucialhoax> why IE though? there arent many sites that FF wont load due to incompatibility.
[08:21] <hateball> Crash1hd: like tar xvfz foo.tar.gz /some/path/
[08:22] <Crash1hd> hateball, like this tar xvfz foo.tar.gz bar/ when I do that I geto folder bar/ doesnt exsist
[08:22] <crucialhoax> hateball: agreed.
[08:22] <Crash1hd> in container
[08:22] <Crash1hd> or something
[08:22] <hateball> Crash1hd: ah you want tar to create the target folder too
[08:22] <Crash1hd> no the target folder is there
[08:22] <AstroMix> crucialhoax: i'm a web developer, some clients have to have IE6 compatibility and IE7 because their companies won't let them upgrade
[08:22] <Crash1hd> so it says bar not found in archive
[08:23] <AstroMix> crucialhoax: i would never … "use" .. internet exploder
[08:23] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: Should have known. Companies would not allow FF for business use.
[08:23] <sebsebseb> Hi
[08:24] <AstroMix> i always let a client know that it's a pain in the ass, so i upcharge a little for IE development lower than 8
[08:24] <hateball> What part of !ot was hard to understand?
[08:24] <AstroMix> isn't asking why i'm trying to do what i'm doing on topic?
[08:24] <AstroMix> maybe my explanation was too verbose to be relevant, sorry
[08:26] <crucialhoax> AstroMix: I was thinking more along the lines of shockwave support for some flash games or something. Either way.
[08:27] <crucialhoax> Well everyone I am out.
[08:27] <crucialhoax> gg
[08:27] <AstroMix> later crucialhoax, thanks for the input
[08:27] <Crash1hd> ok so what I have is a folder called sitename/ and a tar file called mytar.tar.gz I want to extract whats in mytar.tar.gz into sitename/ but not so that it ends up as sitename/mytar/ or as just mytar/
[08:28] <Crash1hd> and have it overwrite whatever is in sitename/
[08:28] <Crash1hd> thats the same
[08:28] <AstroMix> Crash1hd:  couldn't you just extract it anywhere and then mv it where it needs to be?
[08:28] <Crash1hd> AstroMix, possibly but I always have issues with mv
[08:28] <AstroMix> like?
[08:28] <W43372> can anyone recommend a good app to monitor and update facebook and twitter. Something similar to seesmic, but maybe a bit more light weight?
[08:29] <Crash1hd> AstroMix, Nothing in particular atm just know I have had issues in the past with un accessable files
[08:29]  * darolu shivers when reading the words 'facebook' and 'twitter'
[08:29] <AstroMix> Crash1hd:  tar xvfz whatever.tar.gz,  then mv whatever/ sitename/
[08:29] <hateball> Crash1hd: provided the new path exists you'll point to it with -C, my bad
[08:30] <Crash1hd> hateball, ahh :)
[08:30] <hateball> Crash1hd: line 65 or so in the tar manpage
[08:30] <W43372> darolu: Yeah, I can see how people have that reaction. But as a writer and podcaster it helps me stay in touch with colleagues.
[08:32] <Crash1hd> hateball, lol that did this sitename/mytar/
[08:32] <Crash1hd> creating it as a subdirectory
[08:33] <hateball> Crash1hd: yeah it'll do that if you used that path when tar'ing... there should be a switch for that too...
[08:33] <W43372> can anyone recommend a good app to monitor and update facebook and twitter. Something similar to seesmic, but maybe a bit more light weight?
[08:34] <sebsebseb> W43372: update and monitor, as in submit messages to? or?
[08:34] <sebsebseb> W43372: submit message using or?
[08:35] <W43372> something that will let me see status updates from facebook and twitter, as well as let me send my own status updates.
[08:35] <W43372> seesmic works perfectly fine for me, except that the laptop I'm using doesn't have a lot of memory, so I'm looking for something a bit more light weight.
[08:37] <sebsebseb> W43372: I think you can install Gwibber in Karmic as well, and that's possibily what your after.  Well 10.04 released April 29th and not stable yet, gets social networking features for Facebook and Twitter and that.
[08:38] <W43372> If no one can think of anything off hand it's not that big of a deal. I just ran across something that concerns me a bit more. I just tried to extract a .rar and I got an error message telling me that it's an unsupported archive type
[08:39] <sebsebseb> W43372: ah yes that
[08:39] <sebsebseb> !rar | W43372
[08:39] <sebsebseb> W43372: by the way you should ideally avoide that format if possible, since it's a nasty propritary format.
[08:40] <W43372> sebsebseb: Huh, I was unaware of that...
[08:40] <sebsebseb> !info Gwibber
[08:41] <W43372> I had no idea that I'd get that error message either. I never had a problem unrar-ing things when I was using UE.
[08:41] <sebsebseb> W43372: than unrar program, personalley I never had much luck with it when I tried in Ubuntu.  However 7-zip or Winrar can be run under Wine, also to deal with these files.
[08:42] <sebsebseb> W43372: What's UE?
[08:42] <sebsebseb> oh Ultimate Edition?
[08:42] <Ascavasaion> I have shared a folder on Ubuntu machine using Samba.  I can access it from my XP machine, but not from my old Win 98 machine.  Win98 machine keeps prompting for a password.  I have tried all passwords and even left the password field blank.
[08:42] <sebsebseb> Ascavasaion: Windows 98 hrm,  I hope that install isn't Internet connected by the way, since Microsoft stopped supporting WIndows 98, years ago.
[08:43] <lidicus> I am trying to figure out how to get the background of emacs to be dark, and the text to be white. I changed my appearance settings in ubuntu to make a dark background with light text, and it makes the terminal dark, but I can't seem to get that in the emacs window.
[08:43] <Ascavasaion> sebsebseb: hehehe
[08:43] <W43372> sebsebseb:Ultimate Edition. It
[08:43] <sebsebseb> Ascavasaion: I have a feeling that the Linux distro Samba hasn't been tested with Windows 98,  or hardly has been.
[08:44] <W43372> sebsebseb: It's essentially Ubuntu with a whole bunch of extra stuff thrown in and handles all kinds of media extensions from install.
[08:44] <villesoini> !join noobzorz
[08:44] <bullgard> hateball, Vigo: Thank you for your help.
[08:45] <W43372> sebsebseb: It's pretty nifty, but It's also quite bloated and I encountered all kinds of errors running it. I don't know if that's the fault of the OS itself, or the fact that I'm running on a fairly outdated laptop.
[08:45] <sebsebseb> Ascavasaion: a little off topic, but that's the way to keep unsupported  operating systems secure,  in fact it's the only way to keep an operating system 100% secure,  unless of course you got malicious people that have pshyical access to the computer.
[08:45] <Ascavasaion> sebsebseb: It worked before I upgraded from 9.1 to 10.04.
[08:45] <Ascavasaion> sebsebseb: I hear you.
[08:45] <man_in_blue> !info unrar
[08:45] <sebsebseb> W43372: have you ran this already? it will take care of winrar, mp3, avi, and some other stuff
[08:46] <tlarson> how do you tell apt-get (not aptitude) to upgrade only specific packages? (e.g. *git*)
[08:46] <W43372> sebsebseb: Ran what?
[08:46] <sebsebseb> W43372: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[08:46] <sebsebseb> W43372: 7-zip is nice, there's a command line version for Desktop Linux, but the graphical Windows version works well under Wine, and it can open and create RAR's and so on.
[08:47] <W43372> sebsebseb: restricted? That sounds somewhat dangerous...
[08:47] <sebsebseb> W43372: Ubuntu does not provide support for those kind of things by default, because of legal reasons, hwoever people can install themselves after woudls.
[08:47] <app> I am using Empathy for the first time? Why don't I see the introduction/title line for this channel? Just '#ubuntu' and nothing more?
[08:48] <f4nt4sy> nice.. we got visitors to our computer class and my classmates were at rotten.com
[08:48] <f4nt4sy> they looked really scared
[08:48] <sebsebseb> W43372: Most distro's don't come with  built in propritary multimedia and such support, because of legal reasons.
[08:48] <sebsebseb> !codecs
[08:49] <h00k> app: you can check it, I believe, with /topic
[08:49] <Vigo> app: That is on the Gnome site , I think, let me re-check
[08:49] <sebsebseb> app: oh Empathy or Pidgin for IRC, I woudn't recommend that
[08:49] <W43372> app: yeah, xchant works great for IRC
[08:50] <W43372> sebsebseb: So, after I install this restricted thingumbopper I should find unrar-free in the software center?
[08:50] <sebsebseb> app: Konversation also works well for IRC :) ,but KDE app, so will want to put on quite a lot of KDE stuff if you haven't installed KDE stuff before,  not a problem though, as long as your install  has enough space.  Oh and Linux programs tend to take up hardly any space, unlike Windows.  Plus you can have a lot of apps installed, without things slowing down like Windows.
[08:50] <app> I am just trying to evaluate Empathy, because it is Ubuntu default (on this Karmic)
[08:51] <sebsebseb> app: ok I understand,  by the way Pidgin was the default before 9.10
[08:51] <app> I would normally use xchat
[08:51] <W43372> app: Empathy works pretty well.
[08:51] <sebsebseb> W43372:  yeah
[08:51] <W43372> app: I haven't had any problems with it. Except for the fact that I can't use AIM on it since yesterday, but as I heard AIM is to blame on that one.
[08:52] <app> Yeah, I hate that IRC default changes, because I see this channel as the foremost support advantage in Ubuntu compared to anything else
[08:52] <sebsebseb> W43372: however the program itself, should just open up when you try and open RAR's, but then you might get some issue trying to unrar your archeive, well you'll see I guess.
[08:53] <app> And why does Empathy not connect to this channel by default?? Actually adding an IRC account and choosing a network is way too complex.
[08:53] <sebsebseb> app: Hardly anyone uses Empathy for IRC, as far as I know.
[08:53] <W43372> sebsebseb: ok, so if I might have an issue with that, what should I use to unrar this thing?

[08:54] <app> (n ote that my angle here is really evaluating things for my customers, the billion people who don't use Linux yet)
[08:54] <sebsebseb> W43372: 7zip works on the command line as I was saying for Linux distro's
[08:54] <sebsebseb> W43372: however the graphical version is rather nice, unfortunatly it's for Windows only, but works rather well indeed under Wine
[08:55] <W43372> sebsebseb: ok, and where can I get it and read up on how to make it work in terminal?
[08:55] <yatin> I have got ubuntu 10.04 installed on my laptop,works pretty well. I want to install on desktop, I tried last night but cant seem to make it  work.. I have got nvidia graphics card...
[08:55] <app> BTW, does anyone have exprience or pointers to reviews about the quality of Canonical paid Ubuntu support packages? Or any other paid Ubuntu support for end users?
[08:56] <hateball> !lucid | yatin
[08:56] <syx> morning all!
[08:56] <hellyeah> ubuntu reads my ipod touch
[08:56] <hellyeah> :D
[08:56] <sebsebseb> !support | app
[08:56] <hateball> yatin: There's been issues with nVidia drivers back and forth iirc, but check +1 to know for sure what's current :)
[08:56] <hellyeah> can i upload a song from ubuntu
[08:57] <yatin> thanks hateball
[08:57] <W43372> app: I wouldn't be able to help you there. Ubuntu is free which is one of the main things I like about it. That and I can pretty much do anything I want in it.
[08:57] <sebsebseb> app: I think it's mainly/only business support at this time
[08:57] <W43372> sebsebseb: ok, and where can I get it and read up on how to make it work in terminal?
[08:57] <app> sebsebseb, I was asking for experience or reviews, not brochure text
[08:58] <aiakeng> 10.04 can support my ipod.:-)
[08:58] <syx> asdqwezxc
[08:58] <sebsebseb> W43372: There's a 7-zip command line app in the Ubuntu repo if I remember correctly,  but can't tell you right now for sure, since using another distro right now.
[08:59] <W43372> sebsebseb:what are you using?
[08:59] <sebsebseb> aiakeng: yes, but that's, because of Gnome not Ubuntu
[08:59] <Vigo> sebsebseb: I will look.
[08:59] <private_meta> When trying to install the boost mpi lib out of the ubuntu repository, it fails because of missing dependencies, a version that doesn't seem to be in the reps anymore. any idea what I can do there short of compiling it myself?
[08:59] <sebsebseb> W43372: Mandriva One 2010 :)
[08:59] <hellyeah> aiakeng, rhythmbox read my ipod-touch great
[09:00] <W43372> sebsebseb: Is it awesome? I'm still relatively new to this whole Linux  thing.
[09:01] <sebsebseb> W43372: Well these days I will recommend Ubuntu or Mandriva to newbies, depending on what they want.  Anyway this is off topic, and I don't want to join the off topic channel, so you can pm if you want.
[09:02] <Vigo> sebsebseb: It is called p7zip, Non-Free
[09:02] <sebsebseb> Vigo: ok thanks :)
[09:02] <sebsebseb> W43372: ^
[09:03] <subone> Can anyone recommend a way to blank one of my monitors while leaving the other one on?
[09:03] <subone> besides the power button
[09:03] <hick0rd> Any ideas on how to play vcd via vlc ?
[09:04] <h00k> hick0rd: does this help? http://wiki.videolan.org/VCD
[09:04] <hick0rd> h00k, let me check.
[09:05] <duanmingsheng> hi ?
[09:05] <hick0rd> h00k, tried it. but does not work.
[09:05] <h00k> hick0rd: perhaps you need the codecs, I'm not sure
[09:06] <duanmingsheng> who online
[09:06] <eikonos> is it possible to install php-5.1.6 with apt-get?
[09:06] <duanmingsheng> ???
[09:07] <Vigo> duanmingsheng: If it is in the repos, certainly
[09:07] <h00k> duanmingsheng: a lot of people are.  Feel free to ask your question and anybody that knows it will help if they can
[09:07] <darolu> do you need 5.1.6? what can you do with 5.1.6 that you can't do with 5.2?
[09:07] <eikonos> i need 516 because i'm testing my code against a server running that particular version
[09:07] <AstroMix> having trouble sharing my home folder on a virtual machine, i've told virtualbox which folders to share, but they don't show up in my VM of win xp
[09:08] <h00k> AstroMix: check Network Locations in XP
[09:08] <h00k> AstroMix: they're around in there, there's a Virtualbox Shared something category
[09:08] <AstroMix> nothing showing there either, have also tried mapping the network drive :/
[09:09] <subone> f
[09:11] <darolu> eikonos, from ubuntu repos, only drapper have 5.1.2; if you want to install with apt you will need to find a repository that has that specific version of php, I don't know of any though :/
[09:12] <eikonos> darolu: 5.1.2 would probably work for what i want
[09:13] <AstroMix> ah, i must need guest additions
[09:13] <darolu> eikonos,  http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/php5 ; I don't know if just installing that deb will do the trick though, but is the only way I can think of using apt (well dpkg in this case)
[09:15] <jud> test
[09:18] <jesper_> on which time of the day is usually ubuntu released. lika todays beta 2
[09:18] <AstroMix> another VM question, (Guest Additions was the answer to my last one), my screen resolution isn't being realized by the guest os — any tips?
[09:18] <Crash1hd> AstroMix, ok so if I choose to tar xvfz foo.tar.gz and then do the mov how do I do it recursively
[09:19] <AstroMix> i don't think you need to do it recursively
[09:19] <gentoo4life> AstroMix, guest additions installed on the VM?
[09:20] <AstroMix> say I have   folder_of_stuff/    and I want to name it    other_stuff,     mv "folder_of_stuff"  "other_stuff"   simple rename
[09:20] <AstroMix> gentoo4life: tiny xp
[09:20] <AstroMix> or "mv folder_of_stuff ../"
[09:20] <AstroMix> to move your folder of stuff up a directory
[09:20] <platzhirsch> hey, when I want to open my folders, it says loading in the task bar and after that it disappears. any idea where to check for errors?
[09:21] <h00k> platzhirsch: run 'nautilus' from a terminal and see what that says
[09:21] <platzhirsch> when I start nautilus in bash it says: Initializing nautilus-gdu extension - Segmentation fault
[09:21] <platzhirsch> sudo nautilus works though and now the changed the background picture, what the hell
[09:22] <apctr190> hi all...plz tell me how to  change splash image in ubuntu 9.10
[09:23] <AJW256> platzhirsch: you should really use gsudo when opening gnome apps as root in a terminal
[09:23] <AJW256> *gksudo
[09:23] <platzhirsch> AJW256: ok thanks
[09:24] <platzhirsch> reboot
[09:24] <trollboy> so my login screen is sitting there and saying [bignumber.bignumber] hub 7-0:1.0: port 2 disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling
[09:24] <AJW256> platzhirsch: Nautilus is prolly fine with just sudo but gksudo is good practice
[09:25] <xjkx> sometimes i want a man thig, man that, and there is no manual, is there a package with man pages ?
[09:26] <codeshah> hey guys, how do I setup mail so that my app can send emails from my server?
[09:26] <wroom>
[09:26] <wroom>
[09:26] <wroom>
[09:26] <platzhirsch> ok anyway, any idea what to research further to get knowledge about why nautilus throws seg faults?
[09:26] <MikeH_> Hi, I need to be able to put gdb in a runlevel manually, with only access to the filesystem
[09:26] <MikeH_> how can I do this?
[09:27] <Nik_> Hi. I'm getting this error 'http://pastebin.com/ug1QQaAK' when doing 'apt-get purge irssi'
[09:28] <MikeH_> *gdm
[09:28] <AJW256> Nik_: Unknown paste ID :(
[09:29] <AJW256> Nik_: And shouldn't it be "apt-get remove --purge irssi" ?
[09:29] <syx> http://www.kaixin001.com
[09:29] <Nik_> AJW256: 'apt-get purge irssi' works fine
[09:30] <h00k> syx: Do not spam.
[09:30] <AJW256> Nik_: ahh ok, that's quicker I'll remember that, thanks :)

[09:33] <Crash1hd> AstroMix, so if I do mv foo/ bar I get /foo/bar which doesnt work either
[09:33] <wers> i want to convert videos to 800x480 for my nexus one. what fast tool can you recommend? :)
[09:35] <h00k> wers: handbrake is a powerful transcoder
[09:35] <AstroMix> Crash1hd: that shouldn't be :/
[09:35] <Crash1hd> yeah I know but thats what happens
[09:36] <AstroMix> mv "something/" "something_else/" will put something inside something_else, that's what you want right?
[09:36] <wers> h00k, thanks. does it have presets for devices too? :)
[09:36] <AstroMix> mv "something" "something_really_cool" will change the name
[09:36] <h00k> wers: I'm actually not sure, but you can check it out here: http://handbrake.fr/
[09:36] <AstroMix> if the dir doesn't exist
[09:37] <Crash1hd> AstroMix, and if it does?
[09:37] <AstroMix> Crash what i would do in your situation is this
[09:37] <AstroMix> rename your site's file
[09:38] <AstroMix> er… dir
[09:38] <AstroMix> so mv "your_site" "your_site_backup"
[09:38] <AstroMix> then whatever your tar spits out, let's call it "foobar"
[09:38] <AstroMix> mv "foobar" "your_site"
[09:38] <Dougdoug4> Hello /freenode/staff/plazma
[09:39] <AstroMix> that way you'll have a backup of your original, and have succesfully moved all the stuff inside the tar to the correct spot
[09:39] <Dougdoug4> /unaffiliated/Dougdoug4 here
[09:39] <Crash1hd> except that foobar is an upgrade to your_site not a replacement
[09:39] <hateball> Crash1hd: you can mv /dir/* /otherdir/ and it will move the files that is in the dir
[09:39] <AstroMix> aaaah, see, didn't know that part
[09:39] <Crash1hd> which means I need it to just overwrite things
[09:39] <Crash1hd> hateball, ok
[09:40] <AstroMix> well, unfortunately that's the extent of my mv knowledge, sorry for taking you down the wrong path
[09:40] <Crash1hd> AstroMix, any advice is good advice :)
[09:41] <man_in_blue> excuse me...is there any good game like warcraft that can be played in ubuntu?
[09:42] <allowoverride> can someone help me with burning an iso to my cdrom?
[09:42] <Curly_Q> AstroMix out of curiosity Ubuntu has file and directory encryption. In the event that a file or directory is encrypted and recovered in an encrypted state, can it be decrypted in a Windows NT or any other Windows environment?
[09:42] <man_in_blue> or can we play warcraft in ubuntu?
[09:42] <allowoverride> wodim is pissing me off
[09:42] <syx> quit
[09:42] <allowoverride> im starting to think this is a perm issue on the device itself. how that happend, i have no clue. suggestions?
[09:43] <Crash1hd> hateball, problem is when I do mv dir/* otherdir/ I get mv: cannot move `dir/subdir' to a subdirectory of itself, `otherdir/subdir'
[09:43] <AstroMix> Curly_Q: that's quite the question, i'm afraid i don't know that one
[09:43] <hateball> man_in_blue: Warcraft should run fine in Wine. There are however a good few RTS games in the repos. You can look in the Software center :)
[09:43] <man_in_blue> i tried to play warzone 2100, and this game was so heavy damn heavy in my laptop
[09:44] <Curly_Q> Thanks for your honesty AstroMix. There are lots of encryption at 128 BIT and more stuff on the market to encrypt hard drives and more.
[09:44] <hateball> Crash1hd: can you pastebin the full procedure?
[09:45] <Crash1hd> hateball, that is the full procedure
[09:47] <hateball> Crash1hd: right, well.. hmm.. What I thought you wanted to was something like "mv ~/dir1/*/ ~/dir2/" which would move everything inside dir1 to the new location
[09:47] <hateball> Crash1hd: which works fine here
[09:47] <Crash1hd> hateball, yes
[09:47] <Crash1hd> hateball, thats what I am doing and thats when I get the error about subdirectorys
[09:48] <conb123> Hiya, my ati fglrx drivers were playing up today, so I decided to remove all packages with fglrx in the name and then install them again form jockey however now I have rebooted they no longer appear in jockey, how can I get them back?
[09:49] <Curly_Q> AstroMix, there is a very nice software for Windows called: Cryptainer. It is free for up to a certain amount of data to encrypt. It is portable which means that you can create an encrypted file and compile it into an executable file  which is a .exe and then just put in the password and the data is  recovered.
[09:49] <hateball> Crash1hd: can you test it with something "nonproduction" ? like "mkdir -p ~/dir1/dir2/dir3" and then move that to a new location? I really dont see why it shouldnt work for you
[09:50] <man_in_blue> so after i installed wine in ubuntu, then i can play warcraft again?
[09:50] <subone> guh, i should be asleep, anyone got a difficult problem for me to solve so i can give up and fall asleep?
[09:51] <allowoverride> nobody have suggestions... for my cdrom iso burn issue?
[09:51] <Crash1hd> moving it is fine if the new location is empty its when the new location already has subfolders of the same name is where i run into trouble
[09:51] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride what is your ISO problem?
[09:52] <allowoverride> unable to burn an iso to cd-r
[09:52] <allowoverride> i have tried the basics
[09:52] <allowoverride> something is amiss
[09:52] <djolefol> CPU goes 100% because of Xorg (with Firefox, pulseaudio, pidgin or else). Computer is extremely unresponsive (changing between windows takes a minute) for a couple of minutes and "normal" a couple minutes and this cycles again.
[09:52] <allowoverride> http://inetpro.org/pastebin/2675
[09:52] <allowoverride> if you feel like seeing the logs to cdrecord and nero linux
[09:53] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride If I may suggest that when you burn any CD or ISO, you need to remember the MEDI
[09:53] <Curly_Q> A
[09:53] <NET||abuse> have a problem with my laptop, cant run  gnome-terminal, try to run it from xterm, GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash    ERROR:terminal-app.c:1444:terminal_app_init: assertion failed: (app->default_profile_id != NULL)
[09:53] <NET||abuse> what's that about?
[09:53] <hateball> Crash1hd: I guess if you have the space for it you can just do a recursive copy  and remove the original dir :p
[09:53]  * duckinator looks at baddog
[09:53] <Curly_Q> For example, I use Verbatim +R disks which will burn nicely. There are other CD and DVD disks that will not burn correctly.
[09:54] <baddog> ohi duckinator
[09:54] <duckinator> ohi
[09:54]  * baddog looks at parlo
[09:54] <conb123> NET||abuse: Seems kind of obvious but last time I experienced that error it was because I did not have enough disk space, do you have enough?
[09:54] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: ? media?
[09:54] <Curly_Q> Not all CD or DVD Disks burn properly due to the type of CD or DVD burner.
[09:54] <Crash1hd> hateball, cant remove the original dir as its an update
[09:54] <allowoverride> ic
[09:55] <Crash1hd> hateball, does move not have the ability to do it recursive?
[09:55] <allowoverride> well these media have burned b4, but i noted
[09:55] <NET||abuse> conb123, i have 4.2GB spare space
[09:55] <Curly_Q> If you have an old CD or DVD burner, it will not burn the newer higher capacity disks. You will get a BUFFER OVERFLOW and errors.
[09:55] <conb123> NET||abuse: Ah should be fine then, not sure of the problem
[09:55] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: understands, but these have burned just fine. regarding the paste bin, do you see that in there?
[09:55] <allowoverride> ic
[09:56] <allowoverride> my box is a dell 64 bit arch, new last 4 months

[09:56] <grandemahatma> hello. I use keyring for ssh authentication, and it usually pops up whenever I open an ssh connection. I erroneously closed the keyring window when it was asking for my password and now, if I try to open a ssh session, keyring doesn't pop up anymore and ssh doesn't start.. What to do?
[09:56] <Curly_Q> Another situation is this Allowoverride, are you a smoker and is your computer near the kitchen with lots of condensation?
[09:57] <allowoverride> no
[09:57] <allowoverride> and no
[09:57] <Keep> hello everyone
[09:57] <Curly_Q> Have you cleaned the Laser Diode?
[09:57] <indus> hi, if psu takes all the hot air in case and exhausts it, how is the psu itself cooled
[09:57] <Guest61795> hello keep walk
[09:58] <MikeH_> anyone running une?
[09:58] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: how long should one wait to clean laser diode ? or after how many successful burns?
[09:58] <allowoverride> i have had garage sale specials burn better than this burnder
[09:58] <allowoverride> im pretty sure its a perm or suid or something
[09:58] <hateball> Crash1hd: it does... but it does indeed seem like it halts if it finds a dir that already exists.
[09:59] <allowoverride> driver maybe
[09:59] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride, it all depends. Most CD and DVD burners are theoretically sealed from crap unless the user is stupid enough to put their hands on the disks and put scratches on them and fingerprints and more.
[09:59] <king> i
[09:59] <king> hi
[09:59] <allowoverride> i loaded kde - kubuntu and removed it, which was a full desktop, and i think that is where it may have occured
[09:59] <Guest61795> keep are you chinese
[09:59] <king> no
[09:59] <Keep> you r a smart man
[09:59] <Crash1hd> hateball, which is why I was hoping to just be able to extract from the tar right to the folder
[10:00] <king> are u using Linux
[10:00] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: its not media or the burner, its software related... do you have suggestions following that route?
[10:00] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride, my best suggestion to you is that if you and when you fix your problem, make sure you backup your Hard Drive with a Mirror Image.
[10:00] <hateball> Crash1hd: and "cp -ru /dir1/ /dir2/" is out of the question?
[10:00] <allowoverride> nevermind
[10:00] <k4rt33k> Anyone ever used Hindi fonts in xterm or any other terminal successfully?
[10:01] <Crash1hd> hateball, no just cant figure out why move wouldnt have -r
[10:01] <allowoverride> can someone else help out with my iso burn issue?
[10:01] <man_in_blue> quit
[10:01] <hateball> Crash1hd: my guess is because of the potential breakage :)
[10:02] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride, in your mind can you backtrack and figure out what you installed or uninstalled before this situation happened?
[10:02] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: not really, that was over 100 programs
[10:02] <allowoverride> ago
[10:02] <Crash1hd> hateball, the only difference between cp -ruv and cp -rv is that it will only change files that have been updated?
[10:02] <Curly_Q> That is a hell of a lot of programs my friend. You need to keep track.
[10:02] <hateball> Crash1hd: yea, or does not exist
[10:02] <allowoverride> just kde base, common, so forth, for kubuntu
[10:02] <allowoverride> nah no use in doing that Curly_Q
[10:03] <Crash1hd> hateball, potential breakage lol yet it will let you do rm -rv /
[10:03] <allowoverride> i doubt anyone does
[10:03] <Curly_Q> Have you done an apt-get update?
[10:03] <allowoverride> yep
[10:03] <allowoverride> sources are default
[10:04] <Curly_Q> Have you changed any BIOS settings in the meantime?
[10:04] <allowoverride> no
[10:04] <Curly_Q> Have you installed any other hardware. If so, it could be an IRQ fault.
[10:05] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: nope, matter of fact, the cdrom pulls up the default program to burn, braseo
[10:05] <allowoverride> did you see http://inetpro.org/pastebin/2675
[10:05] <Guest61795> keep walking "I'm going to give you a fair crack o' the whi
[10:05] <Curly_Q> I will take a look.
[10:05] <allowoverride> there seems to be a few diff things going on in there
[10:05] <allowoverride> i tried all the basic commands for cdrecord, wodim, as sudo so forth
[10:06] <pasquale_> cioao
[10:06] <pasquale_> ciao

[10:12] <allowoverride> ill check it out.. although i think though nero linux claimed the same success, as it does not use wodim

[10:12] <odb|fidel> hi - i need to mount a smb share read-write-able for a user on boot. I assume best way in ubuntu would be using fstab entry & .smbcredentials right?
[10:13] <adasz> i want to display the screen on an hdmi tv but the border is not visable
[10:13] <odb|fidel> using ubuntu 9.10
[10:13] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: thats a windoze program
[10:13] <allowoverride> :|
[10:13] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride, I have been burning stuff for many years. Nero is not the cure all for burning. There are other softwares that will outshine Nero.
[10:13] <hateball> adasz: you mean like toolbars doesnt show when you send the image?
[10:13] <allowoverride> i dont do dozzzzzeeee
[10:13] <sebsebseb> !k3b | allowoverride
[10:13] <Keep> hhhhhh
[10:13] <adasz> hateball: yes
[10:14] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: and there's Brasero by default in Ubuntu
[10:14] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: that requires the full libs for kde via aptitude, don't like all the bloat
[10:14] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: did you see my pastebin?
[10:14] <Keep> hhhhh
[10:14] <hateball> adasz: I have that issue sometimes when my htpc seemingly sends the correct resolution, but I have to tell my TV to "just scan" and it'll fit the image properly
[10:14] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: im fully aware of the basics... this is not a basic issue
[10:14] <wh> who know that how can i hide the title of windows
[10:14] <allowoverride> i only come here when i give up
[10:14] <sebsebseb> allowoverride no didn't see your pastebin, also it's not really a problem as long as your Ubuntu partition is reasonable sized,  Linux apps don't take up much space,  and haveing  loads of apps installed won't slow things down like Windows
[10:15] <allowoverride> 500 gig drive dude
[10:15] <adasz> hateball: but in windows i have an nvidia tool that rezice it
[10:15] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride, check out  www.bartsbootdisk.com       That website is quite the education. Windows, Yeah! So what. The education is monumental.
[10:15] <allowoverride> no promo's please, i use ubuntu daily.
[10:16] <odb|fidel> right now the auto-mount works - but the user is only write to that share using sudo
[10:16] <Keep> hhhh
[10:16] <allowoverride> um barts is a fake site
[10:16] <Keep> how can i change my nickname?
[10:16] <Curly_Q> I use Linux UNIX Windows Zenix MAC APPLE and more. There is no shame in that.
[10:17] <wh> l
[10:17] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: I looked at scroll back a bit, you're trying to burn FreeBSD?
[10:17] <wh> ls
[10:17] <Keep> anyone help?
[10:17] <allowoverride> yep
[10:17] <allowoverride> good eye
[10:17] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: ok md5sum/sha1sum
[10:17] <wh> ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:17] <allowoverride> server in garage needs an upgrade
[10:17] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: you can check that the ISO you have is good
[10:17] <Curly_Q> Do a google on barts boot disk
[10:17] <allowoverride> interesting,, sebsebseb sure i can do that, brb
[10:17] <sebsebseb> wh: uhmm?
[10:17] <hateball> !info nvidia-settings | adasz
[10:18] <wh> df
[10:18] <wh> test
[10:18] <sebsebseb> !troll | wh
[10:18] <jbrouhard> I think he's typing into the wrong channel
[10:18] <sebsebseb> jbrouhard: yeah maybe
[10:18] <hatake_kakashi> sort of wrong window
[10:18] <adasz_> hateball, sry internet restarts
[10:18] <adasz_> hateball, ubuntu can only make the resolution of 1280x720 but i need a 1216682
[10:18] <hateball> !info nvidia-settings | adasz_
[10:18] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride here is the site:     http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/
[10:19] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: yep its good as i predicted
[10:19] <allowoverride> ace0afedfa7c6e0ad12c77b6652b02ab
[10:19] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: whats that for?
[10:19] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: How are you trying to burn the CD? using the command line?
[10:19] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: yep
[10:20] <allowoverride> sudo cdrecord -v -pad speed=10 dev=dev/scd0 /home/unixrealm/Downloads/ISO/Servers/Freebsd/8.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso
[10:20] <adasz_> hateball, yes u use it to configure my display
[10:20] <allowoverride> i have also removed -pad
[10:20] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: I know it  can be cooler in a way, and more fun and so on, even though I haven't bothered burning CD's using command line myself.  Anyway thing is graphical programs in Ubuntu tend to  work well for burning CD's.
[10:20] <adasz_> hateball, but where can i configure the problem that i have?
[10:20] <hateball> adasz_: it should allow you to specify pretty much whatever resolution you want. I'm not at such a machine now so cant check
[10:21] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: those logs are from gui driven progs
[10:21] <allowoverride> i have tried multiple ways, not just one
[10:21] <allowoverride> again,, nero linux, braseo, cdrecord
[10:21] <allowoverride> check out my pastebin
[10:21] <coz_> gnomebaker
[10:21] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: I haven't seeen all your stuff the pastebins, but  well  1.  try burning slower  2.  still won't work and a load of errors command line and graphical program, maybe a bad CD drive
[10:21] <allowoverride> there are like 4-5 things i feel are the issue
[10:21] <sebsebseb> CD burner
[10:21] <hateball> adasz_: again, for *me* even if I specify say 1920*1080 my tv will sometimes not fit the whole image, then I have to go into the settings of the _tv_ and tell it to switch between 4:3 and 16:9 etc until it finds the proper setting
[10:22] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: ihave tried speed 1
[10:22] <allowoverride> same result
[10:22] <knoppies> allowoverride, I used a bresero this morning with no problems.
[10:22] <allowoverride> its a perm issue or user non cdrom perm issue
[10:22] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: if everthing  you try to burn CD results in errors, probably a bad burner
[10:22] <allowoverride> knoppies: i used it a month ago, no prb either
[10:22] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: its brand new
[10:22] <knoppies> allowoverride, might be bad drivers.
[10:22] <allowoverride> new cd's
[10:22] <coz_> allowoverride,  does anyone smoke around your system?
[10:23] <allowoverride> knoppies: now your talking, something other
[10:23] <allowoverride> coz_:  come on now
[10:23] <allowoverride> thats lame
[10:23] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: coudl be drivers I guess, but useually CD burners just work in Linux distro's
[10:23] <allowoverride> no theory stuff, just hard cmd syntax
[10:23] <coz_> allowoverride,  no its not   smoke will stain the lens
[10:23] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: yep
[10:23] <coz_> allowoverride,  an it will fail recording
[10:23] <allowoverride> coz_: what you smoking dude
[10:24] <Keep> hhhh
[10:24] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: Anyway you just want to try FreeBSD right?
[10:24] <coz_> allowoverride,  just asking because that will render a new cd burner useles
[10:24] <coz_> useless
[10:24] <allowoverride> yep sebsebseb
[10:24] <allowoverride> thats it for today
[10:24] <baddog> @join #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:24] <FriGiN> i'm not seeing any sources for rtfm for grub startup everything tells me that you need to edit /bin/grub/menu.lst but im not seeing that in ubuntu 9.10 any ideas?
[10:24] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: Ok sure for a proper experience you got to do a pshyical install, but  with enough RAM, you would get a good expereince virtual maching FreeBSD inside Ubuntu.
[10:25] <Curly_Q> Smoking around a computer is not "Lame" It is a fact that the laser diode gets filthy with airborne carcinogens.
[10:25] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: also maybe you can install FreeBSD from USB stick or something
[10:25] <allowoverride> sebsebseb: usb is prolly next, but that doesn't alleviate my new laptop issue does it
[10:25] <wh> oh 一群 guys
[10:25] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: try burning something that isn't an ISo to CD
[10:25] <hatake_kakashi> !cn | wh
[10:26] <Keep> jjj
[10:26] <allowoverride> i'll get the same result
[10:26] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: some data or something, find out if that errors as well I guess
[10:26] <allowoverride> i can't burn anything
[10:26] <allowoverride> period
[10:26] <sebsebseb> allowoverride: brand new computer, or just burner?
[10:26] <neobos> how to install oracle in ubuntu 9.10
[10:26] <allowoverride> i pop in cd, it loads up braseo by default, then it starts to burn, then dies, with those errors
[10:26] <coz_> allowoverride,   you say this worked a month ago... same install?
[10:26] <allowoverride> new laptop 4 months old max
[10:26] <allowoverride> yes
[10:26] <allowoverride> correct
[10:26] <allowoverride> coz_:
[10:26] <FloodBot3> allowoverride: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:27] <KeepWalking> hhhh
[10:27] <coz_> allowoverride,  what has changed  since then?
[10:27] <allowoverride> coz_: i explained that all above

[10:27] <allowoverride> floodbot is starting to notice me
[10:27] <sebsebseb> neobos: uhmm oracle have  quite a few products, including the Sun products now, what do you want to install exactly?
[10:27] <jbrouhard> Is there any Ubuntu-based gateway solutions available ?
[10:27] <allowoverride> i removed kde desktop

[10:28] <indus> hi, if psu takes all the hot air in case and exhausts it, how is the psu itself cooled
[10:28] <Curly_Q> Coz, just for the record, I am a Master Technician Licensed and an A+ Certified Technician. Also an Electrical and Electronics Engineer. I agree with you. Smoking is bad for any electronics devices.

[10:29] <coz_> allowoverride,  everything kde  stopped several things from working including cd
[10:29] <allowoverride> coz_: i will never load kde again
[10:30] <coz_> allowoverride, ` I dont blame you
[10:30] <sebsebseb> FriGiN: Which version of Ubuntu?
[10:30] <allowoverride> 9.10
[10:30] <FriGiN> 9.10
[10:30] <allowoverride> desktop
[10:30] <sebsebseb> !grub2 | FriGiN
[10:30] <coz_> allowoverride,   my solution...easily done with my circumstances...was a reinstallation
[10:30] <allowoverride> coz_: yawn,,, yah i know, i but i hate doing that, i have things all set up now
[10:30] <geekphreak> hello all
[10:30] <allowoverride> 4 months
[10:30] <FriGiN> ty
[10:30] <sebsebseb> FriGiN: and previous versions or upgrades from 9.04 will use the old Grub, hence why I was asking
[10:30] <selina> hi
[10:30] <FriGiN> lookin now
[10:31] <neobos> how to install oracle 9i
[10:31] <coz_> allowoverride,  understood... you could try reinstalling all gnome essentials  to see if that remedies it
[10:31] <FriGiN> yah i couldnt find the menu.lst and been tearin my hair out
[10:31] <allowoverride> hmmm coz_ where is the quite and dirty howto for that action?
[10:31] <neobos> which package i needed to install oracle 9i
[10:31] <man0riaX> Morning everyone
[10:31] <sebsebseb> FriGiN: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[10:31] <allowoverride> apt-get purge?
[10:31] <sebsebseb> FriGiN: ah
[10:31] <coz_> allowoverride,  good question.. i certainly didnt find one online but attempted it myself with no good results
[10:31] <sebsebseb> FriGiN: nevermind that's for old Grub
[10:32] <geekphreak> KeepWalking:  yes?
[10:32] <allowoverride> im sure i can fix this hardware issue with commands
[10:32] <sebsebseb> FriGiN: ,but yes, no menu.lst in Grub 2,  it's some other file you would edit now instead, see the link I got the bot to give you
[10:32] <KeepWalking> nothing just greep
[10:32] <coz_> allowoverride, did you try resetting gnome to defaults?
[10:32] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride, please take some advice. Don't just install anything you feel like without taking notes. Before I install anything on any computer, i immediately make a DISK mirror image in the event of some mistake. It is fool proof.
[10:32] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: thanks, point made
[10:32] <geekphreak> KeepWalking:  ok
[10:32] <allowoverride> coz_: howto?
[10:33] <allowoverride> i think this is a sudo phat finger actually
[10:33] <coz_> allowoverride,    rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity   << that will reset gnome to defaults
[10:33] <erUSUL> neobos: ask oracle; that's a propietary product that is not in the ubuntu repositories
[10:33] <allowoverride> i need the perms for the basics like the defaults for all files related to this issue
[10:33] <allowoverride> coz_: thanks looks familiar, havent done that one in ages
[10:33] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride, have you checked the permissions?
[10:34] <neobos> erUSUL: i didt get you
[10:34] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: this is not a windoze computer
[10:34] <coz_> allowoverride,  i assume you tried   reinstalling ubuntu-desktop
[10:34] <allowoverride> coz_: no i havent
[10:34] <coz_> allowoverride,  that would be my first step
[10:34] <allowoverride> coz_: what will happen ?
[10:34] <allowoverride> details
[10:34] <Curly_Q> It doesn't matter wheather it is Windows or Linux or UNIX. Permissions is permissions.
[10:34] <coz_> allowoverride,   well ALL settings will revert to default set up
[10:34] <allowoverride> how about evolution
[10:34] <erUSUL> neobos: there is no oracle package aviable for ubuntu. Ask Oracle, not us, about its products
[10:34] <coz_> allowoverride,  including compiz settings if gconf backend is used
[10:34] <allard> Hey, I tried to upgrade to beta1. The upgrade worked, but now my nvidia video card does nothing on 2.6.32. That is, the monitors go black and it looks like there is no video output what soever. The old 2.6.31 kernel still boots and X works fine. Where should I go and file a bugreport?
[10:34] <Curly_Q> lol
[10:35] <allowoverride> ic
[10:35] <erUSUL> !lucid | allard
[10:35] <allowoverride> or mozilla
[10:35] <coz_> allowoverride,  I believe even  that will be reset but not completely sure
[10:35] <allard> ah
[10:35] <allard> thanks
[10:35] <geekphreak> :(
[10:35] <geekphreak> pici howdy
[10:35] <allowoverride> contrary to Curly_Q belief, i actually do check things b4 i "simply" install things, that also refers to resetting to defaults
[10:36] <geekphreak> allowoverride: thats a good thing :)
[10:36] <Curly_Q> Allowoverride, I had a problem using SSH with Windows to Linux. I could not cut or paste. There was one person only on this channel that knew the permissions settings to help me. I was extremely happy about that.
[10:37] <allowoverride> welp, i will research a bit more before i do a default restore. im tired, thanks for the ideas. i will be zzzz in 4 mins lol...
[10:37] <allowoverride> Curly_Q: that was prolly me
[10:37] <Curly_Q> lol
[10:37] <FriGiN> ok im reading the grub2 info ... and i see the read only files all im trying to do is make windows my default instead of ubuntu and remove a now defunct copy of ubuntu from the list.. where do i start
[10:37] <Curly_Q> Maybe unless you use a different nick.  :)
[10:37] <allowoverride> im not the average user, i will admit, i don't know it all, getting there though
[10:37] <allowoverride> thansk coz for the gconf headsup, i havent done that in years. needed a freshener
[10:38] <allowoverride> heheh metacity, yah don't forget that one
[10:38] <allowoverride> im out, l8
[10:38] <coz_> allowoverride,  no problem...hope either of those work for you
[10:39] <erUSUL> !grub2 | FriGiN
[10:39] <Curly_Q> Where are you both from Coz and Allowoverride? I am from Massachusetts MIT.
[10:39] <erUSUL> FriGiN: to remove old kernel from grub just remove them from synaptic
[10:40] <wh> >h
[10:40] <wh> >a Curly_Q
[10:41] <Curly_Q> greets Wh.   ;)
[10:42] <pakas> hello people :d
[10:42] <pakas> nice so many ubuntu users
[10:42] <pakas> this is getting huge
[10:44] <Curly_Q> Greets to Pakas.
[10:44] <Curly_Q> How are you today?
[10:46] <pakas> im ok
[10:46] <pakas> tks
[10:47] <Curly_Q> Your welcome Pakas. Where are you from?
[10:47] <pakas> i've heard that theres some new PC's with developed hardware expecificly for ubuntu is that true ?
[10:47] <AstroMix> i'm having trouble getting my VirtualBox XP installation to pickup my resolution, what should I do? look for XP drivers?
[10:47] <pakas> im frm  portugal
[10:47] <Curly_Q> Azores or Lisbon?
[10:47] <pakas> lisbon
[10:48] <Curly_Q> Nice.
[10:48] <posding> hey
[10:48] <overmind> Curly_Q: It's not my intention moving you to another channel, but... this channel is only for support, channel for talk with another users is #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[10:48] <Curly_Q> I might just be related to you Pakas.
[10:48] <KeepWalking> hey posding
 use virtualbox under ubuntu as primary Os :>
[10:48] <pakas> lol
[10:48] <pakas> really
[10:48] <AstroMix> B|aSS:  I am.
[10:48] <B|aSS> well it work!
[10:48] <AstroMix> the guest os is xp
[10:49] <B|aSS> ahh
[10:49] <B|aSS> sorry
[10:49] <B|aSS> :X
[10:49] <AstroMix> np :P
[10:49] <Curly_Q> Overmind, support is done in many different ways. Being a friend to a new channel user is just as important than to brag about how much one knows. The topic at this juncture of time is slow.
[10:49] <B|aSS> but then my anwser will be not to use Ms in vbox :p
[10:50] <B|aSS> i just set up a webserver using ubuntu karmic with vbox
[10:50] <posding> qui parle francais?
[10:50] <alphacharlie> hi all, i installed ubuntu just right now. i'm having a problem with the internet connection. it's slow & download starts at 55-60 kbps(normal), but it goes down to 3-4 kbps gradually. but when i'm downloading through synaptic or add/remove program,it's holding onto the normal rate.any idea how to solve it?
[10:50] <B|aSS> 5 easy step
[10:50] <B|aSS> 25 minutes
[10:50] <yoda___> hi
[10:50] <alphacharlie> i'm using 8.10
[10:50] <yoda___> I need help I can't to install Tor on Karmic Koala
[10:50] <MikeH_> Is there any reason why I need to *install* ubuntu onto a usb stick, and cannot simply dump the live OS onto it?
[10:51] <Curly_Q> Alphacharlie, log onto   www.dslreports.com  and check your internet speed.
[10:51] <yoda___> can anyone help me please?
[10:51] <KeepWalking> heyhyehye
[10:52] <overmind> yoda___: Sure
[10:52] <yoda___> :)
[10:52] <JonathanEllis> In Nautilus, when I drag a bookmark in the Places pane, the wrong bookmark moves. It makes it very difficult to sort the Places menu into a sensible order. I am not sure what search term to google for. Has anyone else come across this?
[10:52] <geekphreak> MikeH_:  there is always a reason
[10:52] <erUSUL> MikeH_: you can just "dump" with unetbootin the iso to it
[10:52] <chelz> MikeH_: it's not bootable unless some special stuff is done
[10:52] <geekphreak> exactly
[10:52] <erUSUL> MikeH_: but i will act like a iso i.e no permanent changes/storage
[10:52] <overmind> yoda___: Well, open this with that command "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[10:52] <chelz> MikeH_: unetbootin does that special stuff. i'm actually currently examining the differences between the iso and what unetbootin created
[10:53] <MikeH_> chelz: I already have the booting aspect sorted, its done with efi
[10:53] <AstroMix> sooooo any ideas?
[10:53] <Curly_Q> JonathanEllis, don't drag the bookmark. Copy or Cut and paste it.
[10:53] <MikeH_> erUSUL: That would just be a case of editing fstab, to rw, no?
[10:53] <chelz> MikeH_: no like not a bootloader, the way the kernel is loaded
[10:53] <yoda___> done overmind
[10:53] <erUSUL> MikeH_: no,
[10:53] <overmind> yoda___: Now add this to final line >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/410957/
[10:53] <JonathanEllis> Curly_Q: There is no option for cutting and pasting the bookmarks
[10:53] <overmind> yoda___: (What is in pastebin)
[10:53] <chelz> MikeH_: how about installing with unetbootin and comparing it to the livecd and you'll see the differences on your own
[10:54] <JonathanEllis> Curly_Q: Is this a known bug?
[10:54] <chelz> installing onto a usb thing
[10:54] <Curly_Q> JonathanEllis have you right clicked and tried?
[10:54] <JonathanEllis> Curly_Q: Yes
[10:54] <yoda___> done overmind
[10:54] <yoda___> ok
[10:54] <yoda___> and saved
[10:54] <overmind> yoda___: Now use 3 commands in terminal >> http://paste.ubuntu.com/410958/
[10:54] <yoda___> ok wait
[10:54] <Curly_Q> I don't know if it is a bug, but, there may be a permissions issue with any file.
