[04:59] <NooBoontoo> Restarting...
[04:59] <_NaN_> rww: i'm ussing gnome
[04:59] <_NaN_> jack_: i'll see it, thanks!
[04:59] <ohsix> _NaN_: press win+w, by default it is bound to do it
[04:59] <ruan> other software never uses that drive
[04:59] <jack_> rww: that was the most advanced sed i've ever seen in irc :P
[04:59] <AbhijiT> there was a file in ~/Example folder in which they have given 'case studies' of ubuntu. but i dont have that file. is it not in lucid? where it gone?any one can help? or give me your copy?
[04:59] <jack_> i blew away my ~/examples file. is it not created under new users?
[04:59] <ohsix> _NaN_: you should only need special instructions if you want to change the bind to another key or to put it on a hot corner or something
[05:00] <_NaN_> ohsix: not that kind of tile, i need work in 2 windows at the same time
[05:00] <ruan> i have examples but it has only 2 mp3s
[05:00] <qwerty1> hello
[05:00] <jo-erlend2> I'm resyncing my software raid5 and the disks are working hard. However, I can't see that in iotop. Why?
[05:00] <ohsix> _NaN_: ah
[05:00] <rww> _NaN_: install CCSM and play around. I think the relevant plugin is called Grid or something
[05:00] <rww> !ccsm
[05:00] <ohsix> nanase: well, out one on the side and hold shift :D
[05:00] <ohsix> _NaN_: rather
[05:00] <rww> but yeah, I'm using KWin to get Windows-style tiling on linux, so...
[05:00] <faenor> rww: GNU/Linux, not linux
[05:00] <ruan> does examples contain 2 mp3s?
[05:01] <ruan> lol
[05:01] <jack_> rww++

[05:01] <gaurav_help> how i change my default directory in ternimal
[05:01] <jack_> gaurav_help: default directory?
[05:01] <ouyes> qwerty1, most laptops are compatible
[05:01] <jack_> gaurav_help: type 'cd /a/diff/directory' when you open it
[05:01] <jo-erlend2> rww: there is something called Devilspie that works on many different desktop environments and provides very high level of control. It does require some reading though.
[05:02] <AbhijiT> gaurav_help, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/change-default-bash-directory-in-gnome-terminal-288622/
[05:02] <ohsix> qwerty1: theres no central registry unfortunately; not even for devices that currently have trouble in said machines
[05:02] <qwerty1> ouyes...ive read some old threads from last year about this laptop and some ppl had issues but wasnt sure if those were resolved by now
[05:02] <ruan> hehe nevermind
[05:02] <gaurav_help> rite now it always open with /home/username but i always want it to open in /home/username/desktop/foldername
[05:02] <ruan> sdb swapped with sda

[05:02] <Graet|> * rww has kicked faenor from #ubuntu ( )  << nice work :)
[05:02] <ruan> when i changed hardware

[05:03] <AbhijiT> gaurav_help, see the link i have given
[05:03] <qwerty1> livecd wont install is that correct?
[05:03] <jack_> if you choose 'try ubuntu'
[05:03] <jack_> it wont install
[05:03] <jack_> you could also use wubi and install it from windows
[05:03] <ruan> jack_: i thought it would be static when i removed just a cd drive
[05:03] <icedtea> qwerty1: try http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[05:03] <ruan> livecd installs upon request
[05:03] <NooBoontoo> jack_,  nope, I didnt worked, the resolution is now in 1024x768

[05:06] <silverlightning> what ? lol
[05:06] <ohsix> jack_ / AbhijiT: initial user directory content is in /etc/skel, IF the example files are installed anymore, i don't think they are
[05:06] <AbhijiT> ohsix, what you are talking about?
[05:06] <ohsix> the "Example" folder
[05:06] <ruan> lol he meant to say "i am using karmic, abhijit"
[05:06] <AbhijiT> ruan,  :D okay! lol
[05:06] <AbhijiT> silverlightning, hey ok. so do you have that case study document in there? please share it
[05:07] <qwerty1> well..this laptop didnt make the list...ill give livecd a shot and see what happens
[05:07] <AbhijiT> ohsix, i want that file in which they have given ubuntu case studies. do you have it?
[05:07] <gaurav_help> Abhijit: the link u gave me i go through it but ... i don't find the bashrc file in /etc
[05:07] <silverlightning> hmm...
[05:07] <ohsix> AbhijiT: try dpkg -L example-content
[05:07] <AbhijiT> gaurav_help, just search that file using search for file in places menu
[05:08] <AbhijiT> ohsix, what does that do?
[05:08] <ohsix> AbhijiT: i don't see it there anymore
[05:08] <ohsix> AbhijiT: list the files in the package
[05:08] <AbhijiT> ohsix, oh ok
[05:09] <AbhijiT> silverlightning, ??
[05:09] <IdleOne> linux test!
[05:09] <AbhijiT> O_o
[05:09] <IdleOne> I passed
[05:09] <jack_> IdleOne: fail!
[05:10] <gaurav_help> AbhijiT: that link what u send me is not helping me
[05:10] <gaurav_help> is there any other way
[05:10] <nowe> p rude
[05:10] <AbhijiT> gaurav_help, nothing wrong in that document. you find fhat bash file in your computer using search file utility. its you who is not finding the file not that document
[05:12] <gaurav_help> No AbhijiT : i find tat file but name is diff bash.bashrc ... and where i have 2 put tat line
[05:12] <AbhijiT> gaurav_help, hmm no thats not the file. i think that doc is outdated
[05:13] <ruan> maybe google will help

[05:15] <Oceans80> When I am trying to access shared folders over a network, in GNOME, I go to Places > Network > Computer I want to connect to, it asks for user name, password, and a domain (default is WORKGROUP), how do i figure out what to put in the Domain section?
[05:15] <milamber> guarav_help: the tutorial should still work. ~/.bashrc will have to be created ~ means home directory so you have to create a .bashrc in your home directory for it to only take affect for one user.
[05:15] <AbhijiT> gaurav_help, try in #bash
[05:16] <sqwertle> I'm trying to put a mail server online using a domain name, have installed postfix on my server as well as courier and mysql. I'm having quite a bit of trouble getting everything configured. I have tried using dovecat and followed a few tutorials for configuration that I've found on google, but have given up on dovecat and switched to courier. I have just finished my second courier configuration tutorial and haven't managed to gain
[05:16] <sqwertle> access to it. Could anyone help me with this or point me in the right direction? I can give post whatever logs are needed, but I'm not sure what's wrong in order to just say it's somewhere in ***.conf
[05:16] <gaurav_help> No AbhijiT ... not found
[05:16] <expecto> hi
[05:16] <AbhijiT> ??
[05:16] <ruan>  /join #bash
[05:17] <AbhijiT> gaurav_help, join the channel #bash by typing /j #bash and ask there
[05:17] <silverlightning> why do they demand registration and login in the general linux room?
[05:18] <Oceans80> anaged to gain
 access to it. Could anyone help me with this
[05:18] <ohsix> silverlightning: spam bots generally don't register
[05:18] <expecto> how can in install something in a folder i unzipped
[05:18] <expecto> whats the command to install whats in that folder
[05:18] <expecto> ?
[05:18] <Oceans80> When I am trying to access shared folders over a network, in GNOME, I go to Places > Network > Computer I want to connect to, it asks for user name, password, and a domain (default is WORKGROUP), how do i figure out what to put in the Domain section?
[05:19] <milamber> expecto: it depends on what language what you want to install is written in. the most common sequence is ./configure, make, sudo make install
[05:19] <expecto> how do i know the language?
[05:19] <silverlightning> this is too daft for a saturday morning
[05:20] <sqwertle> oceans80: why did you quote me?
[05:20] <ruan> silverlightning:lol
[05:20] <Oceans80> accident
[05:20] <sqwertle> ah
[05:20] <milamber> expecto: what are you trying to install? there is also usually a document called README and/or INSTALL.
[05:20] <silverlightning> where do I register then
[05:20] <silverlightning> ?
[05:21] <rww> shcherbak: "What is sense of it?" --> I'm sorry, I don't know what you meant.
[05:21] <gaurav_help> Abhijit is there any way when i create a new profile in ternimal and there i set tat path
[05:21] <silverlightning> I for the linux stuff
[05:21] <ruan>  /msg NickServ identify [pass]
[05:21] <rww> !register | silverlightning
[05:21] <ruan> i believe
[05:21] <expecto> readme says: to install the game run fold it from this directory
[05:21] <ruan> ^
[05:21] <poss> good gentlefolk I have yet another conundrum, may i pray thy indulgence once more?
[05:21] <expecto> but i click ''fold it'' and nothing happens
[05:21] <silverlightning> rww, don't get exited
[05:21] <Oceans80> When I am trying to access shared folders over a network, in GNOME, I go to Places > Network > Computer I want to connect to, it asks for user name, password, and a domain (default is WORKGROUP), how do i figure out what to put in the Domain section?
[05:21] <rww> silverlightning: I'm not. I was telling the channel bot to answer your question ;P
[05:21] <silverlightning> good :- )
[05:22] <silverlightning> lol
[05:22] <silverlightning> I seel
[05:22] <jrgill> ok so i clicked try ubuntu and its still busy...
[05:22] <Graet|> Oceans80, i look at one of the other machines on the network and see. or if its my network i know what its called :)
[05:22] <silverlightning> I am a bit slow, it's not half past six yet here
[05:22] <milamber> expecto: what game?
[05:22] <costas> back...
[05:22] <silverlightning> rww, clever command though
[05:23] <poss> I am in the middle of an install, untuntu 10.04 along side an existing 9.10,  however the installation has stalled during "resizing the partition" at 50%
[05:23] <costas> back to debian command reference for me to remember the magic..
[05:23] <ruan> thats dangerous
[05:23] <Tristantio> anyone ever set up wineq2 on wine ?
[05:23] <poss> i cant move the mouse and there is no indication of progress, it has been this way for the best part of an hour
[05:24] <jrgill> do i need a special option when booting live cd on a sata drive?  im using a laptop.  the live cd is hanging at "try ubuntu."
[05:24] <NicholasRoge> sqwertle
[05:24] <costas> not me, I use wine rarely -prefer Jack daniels 8-D
[05:24] <Tristantio> lol
[05:24] <poss> so, do i leave it frozen and hope it unfreezes itself eventually, or do i restart and risk wiping everything on the drive already
[05:24] <expecto> hello?
[05:24] <Tristantio> hi expecto
[05:24] <costas> poss you are installing Ubuntu?
[05:24] <expecto> what can i do
[05:25] <expecto> FOLD IT
[05:25] <poss> yep
[05:25] <expecto> is the game
[05:25] <Tristantio> crap forgot to run screen before irssi, brb
[05:25] <poss> installing 10.04 along an existing 9.10 build
[05:25] <expecto> http://fold.it/portal/
[05:25] <costas> irssi is fine but xchat is better
[05:25] <aplund> I have an Intel 4965AG wireless card and it seems that the iwlagn module is not working anymore for suspend resume from a recent update.  Does anyone have any more information about this? (I have 10.10)
[05:25] <poss> along side*
[05:25] <expecto> thats the GAME
[05:25] <ruan> im on chatzilla
[05:25] <jrgill> can someone help me?  i click try ubuntu and i cant even try the thing.
[05:25] <expecto> right side is linux download link :)
[05:26] <milamber> expecto: downloading now
[05:26] <Tristantio> ok back
[05:26] <costas> jrgill, please rtfm
[05:26] <ruan> jrgill: what happens?
[05:26] <rww> !rtfm
[05:27] <Pilotgeek> hey guize whatz up???? lolz
[05:27] <jrgill> ruan: the cursor turns busy and it hangs.  actually i just clicked the x on the wizard and made it to the desktop.
[05:27] <costas> Pilotgeek, it seems people nowadays need to learn how to read... 8-(
[05:27] <jrgill> looks nice since i last tried it: version 5.04 :P
[05:28] <poss> expecto: have you tried asking on the fold it forums?
[05:28] <IdleOne> costas: if you don't feel like helping that is fine. Please don't be rude and tell people to rtfm.
[05:28] <costas> ok reading the friendly manual was what I meant 8-D
[05:29] <IdleOne> costas: had you rftm for #ubuntu you would know we don't allow that acronym.
[05:29] <IdleOne> !guidelines > costas
[05:29] <costas> ok, will do
[05:30]  * jrgill rolls eyes
[05:30]  * rww rolls eyes also
[05:30] <poss> Anyone? Installing ubuntu and it has frozen during partition, what do I do? Will rebooting and trying again jeapodize the existing data?
[05:30] <expecto> thanks milamber
[05:31] <ohsix> poss: there are logs in /tmp and /var from the installer that should say more about what step its stuck on
[05:31] <ruan> any hard drive operations that freeze create danger
[05:32] <costas> poss, I suggest formatting partitions that will be used for Ubuntu...
[05:33] <p0ss> damn connection droppin out
[05:33] <silverlightning> how do you go about registering?
[05:34] <rww> silverlightning: /join #freenode and ask there.
[05:34] <silverlightning> thanks
[05:34] <milamber> expecto: are you using the command line?
[05:34] <silverlightning> irc is really cumbersome
[05:34] <jrgill> nice how they included proprietary drivers as well
[05:34] <silverlightning> worse than word perfect and the old DOS window for beginners
[05:35]  * p0ss asks again, if the ubuntu install freezes during partitioning, will restarting jeapodize existing data?
[05:35] <Tristantio> ok guys anyone familiar enough with wine to answer this please do so.  I want to run 2 different apps each in their own virtual desktop instead of sharing.
[05:35] <Tristantio> Is such a thing possible?
[05:35] <shcherbak> p0ss: yes
[05:36] <shcherbak> p0ss: Start reading about datarecovery
[05:36] <ohsix> Tristantio: things in different prefixes should be separate
[05:36] <p0ss> shcerbak, it has been frozen at %50 for over an hour, should i give it longer?
[05:36] <costas> Tristantio, 2 instances of wine perhaps?
[05:36] <ohsix> but you can also run explorer more than once, which is really what the virtual desktop stuff is
[05:36] <Tristantio> ohsix, sorry for the noob question but what do you mean by prefixes?
[05:36] <Meway> p0ss, I ruined a 70gb hardrive like that
[05:37] <nmvictor> I have found a liking in fortran programming language, especially fortrann 2003, anyone here programming in fortran to tell me how I can do that in ubuntu? I mean the tools, IDEs or anything I would find usefull
[05:37] <Tristantio> Basically, i have a copy of a game I want to run 2 clients for via wine. Currently both copies run in the same virtual desktop
[05:37] <Tristantio> which cauess one of the copies to mess up
[05:37] <shcherbak> p0ss: resizeing partition takes time, circe 1Mb of data per few minutes.
[05:37] <Tristantio> i want them to not know each other are running
[05:37] <costas> p0ss, do a format... bad blocks will be fixed, start negotiating with your hard disk merchant for a bargain
[05:37] <sinistrad> !fortran
[05:38] <abhinav_singh> how to check if my processor is 32 bit 0r 64 bit
[05:38] <p0ss> oh crap, i did not realise that was a potential, i would never have upgraded if i had known how much trouble it is
[05:38] <nmvictor> abhinav_singh, cat /proc/cpu.info
[05:38] <milamber> Tristantio: what do you mean by virtual desktop? i don't think i am understanding the question.
[05:38] <shcherbak> p0ss: is CapsLock working? (means keaboard at all)
[05:39] <p0ss> so resizing a 250gb drive could take days?
[05:39] <costas> p0ss, there's nothing wrong with Ubuntu upgrades, disk drives do get damaged eventually
[05:39] <jiohdi> p0ss, not likely
[05:39] <shcherbak> p0ss: rather hours
[05:39] <ruan> i resized an 80gb and it took 3 mins
[05:39] <p0ss> no idea..  I just hit reset
[05:39] <nmvictor> abhinav_singh, run that command I guess, Im told their is a flag to indicate 64 bit , if the flag s missing on that output, its probably a 32 bit, You computer manual might also help
[05:40] <icedtea> p0ss: if there's lots of free space and resizing the drive could only take 15 minutes or so
[05:40] <abhinav_singh> nmvictor I am not getting the flag..
[05:40] <Starminn> abhinav_singh: "uname -a" it'll be right before "GNU/Linux" -- if it says something about AMD64 then it's 64-bit.
[05:40] <pinnacle> !sex
[05:40] <p0ss> it had been running fine for twelve months, i run an upgrade and it bricks one harddrive, then i download a livedisk and try and partition the remaining drive and it bricks it too
[05:40] <jrgill> sound, bluetooth, wi-fi, nice crisp display.  such great support on the live cd.  :)
[05:40] <pinnacle> !penis
[05:40] <shcherbak> p0ss: Do you have any control on machine besides power button?
[05:40] <Starminn> abhinav_singh: Alternatively if it says "i686" i586 i396 or whatever then it's not 64-bit (regardless of if it's intel or not)
[05:41] <puppy> how to find the partition where I installed Ubuntu
[05:41] <jrgill> now if i could my external monitor working  :S
[05:41] <milamber> abhinav_singh: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:41] <p0ss> there was a lot of free space, but it had taken at least an hour
[05:41] <p0ss> nope
[05:41] <Tristantio> abhinav_singh, can't you just do the following command lshw
[05:41] <Tristantio> and look under cpu
[05:41] <Tristantio> the "width" is how many bit it is
[05:41] <shcherbak> !data recovery ! p0ss
[05:42] <shcherbak> !datarecovery ! p0ss
[05:42] <n2diy_> How can I set the backronud color of my panels?
[05:42] <shcherbak> !datarecovery | p0ss
[05:42] <Starminn> n2dly_: Right-click the panel, hit "properties" then go to "Background"
[05:42] <jiohdi> n2diy preferences appearance customize
[05:42] <costas> abhinav_singh, on a terminal type "uname -a"
[05:42] <shcherbak> sorry, need to upgrade myself
[05:42] <puppy> how to find the partition where I installed Ubuntu
[05:42] <abhinav_singh> Tristantio it is saying width is 32 bit
[05:42] <Tristantio> uname -a will show what bit the distro is
[05:42] <Tristantio> that you are running
[05:42] <Tristantio> but you can have 64 bit proc and run 32 bit distro
[05:43] <Tristantio> if your width is 32bit thats what your processor is
[05:43] <Tristantio> you can see more info about it do
[05:43] <p0ss> this time it froze at trying to contact the time server
[05:43] <Tristantio> cat /proc/cpuinfo
[05:43] <Starminn> As I said before: abhinav_singh: "uname -a" it'll be right before "GNU/Linux" -- if it says something about AMD64 then it's 64-bit.
[05:43] <Tristantio> Starminn you like earthbound? :)
[05:43] <jiohdi> p0ss hardware issue?
[05:43] <p0ss> I'm getting the feeling i have just completely and utterly bricked my uncle's work computer by trying to upgrade :(
[05:43] <costas> Tristantio, peeps with 64bit cpus should use 64bit distros...
[05:43] <Starminn> Tristantio: Earthbound?
[05:43] <shcherbak> p0ss: This one is obligatory reading: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[05:43] <milamber> expecto: still there?
[05:44] <expecto> im sorry
[05:44] <expecto> yes
[05:44] <Tristantio> Starmen are people in it, wasn't sure if your name was a take on it
[05:44] <expecto> im here
[05:44] <milamber> expecto: are you using the command line?
[05:44] <Tristantio> also yea 64 should use 64 distro but sometimes people miss it
[05:44] <puppy> tristantio: pls help me  to find out the partition where I installed Ubuntu
[05:44] <Tristantio> and changing distro from 32 to 64 is a huge pain in the arse
[05:44] <costas> p0ss, select expert install and format the partitions that will house the upgrade...
[05:44] <expecto> i was afk
[05:44] <expecto> which command line?
[05:44] <expecto> :/
[05:44] <Tristantio> puppy you can use the "locate" command to find lots of things quickly if you know what are looking ofr
[05:44] <milamber> expecto: hokay, let's take it from the top. you downloaded the file. did you extract it?
[05:44] <ruan> command line = terminal
[05:45] <Starminn> Tristantio: Nope. A few other places I see similar names to this one, including in a book I'm reading. To be honest I don't know where the name came from as I didn't come up with it. Long story short, a friend gave me his Runescape account a long time and I've used the same name since.
[05:45] <expecto> yes
[05:45] <poss_> connection dropped out again, sorry
[05:45] <Tristantio> @Starminn - ahh gotcha

[05:48] <poss_> omg, my uncle is going to kill me...  all that business data, lost.. because of ubuntu.  you can say it was a hardware fault, but he is not going to believe it, this computer ran fine for years until i tried to upgrade ubuntu..
[05:48] <raido> Tristantio: PgUp
[05:48] <n2diy_> Starminn, yes, they are all napping.
[05:48] <poss_> bad juju, im freaking out here :(

[05:48] <Graet|> poss are you installing alongside or upgradeing?
[05:48] <Tristantio> poss_ I was screwed badly when I went from ubuntu 10.04 32 bit to 10.10 64 bit because they changed their installer
[05:48] <expecto> i recognized the directory, yup

[05:49] <axjota> can any hel me w ubuntu server virtual in vmware or VB !!!!
[05:49] <Tristantio> 10.04 gave installer option to use remaining partition space, 10.10 change to overwrite entire drive
[05:49] <shcherbak> poss_: make sure to have liveCD to test system and hard drive
[05:49] <Graet|> if you are installing alongside try without cd and see if you can boot into old install
[05:49] <axjota> can any hel me w ubuntu server virtual in vmware or VB !!!!
[05:49] <Starminn> n2diy_: Alright, gimme a sec while I try to find something for you.
[05:49] <ruan> axjota: what is the question?
[05:49] <poss_> Graet: i tried upgrading first, but that bricked one of his harddrives, so then i tried installing alongside and it bricked his other drive.. now there is nothing left
[05:49] <Tristantio> axjota to install it in VB just download the iso you want and then follow the VB wizard
[05:49] <milamber> expecto: can you pastebin the command and output?
[05:49] <n2diy_> Starminn, ok, thanks.
[05:50] <ravn> hi folks, I just bought a new computer with hdmi-interface and nvida ion graphics, installed ubuntu 10.10, but Now I can't get out any sound from the hdmi-port. The hdmi interface is chosable in the sound preference and dmesg says it is recognized, but I got no sound. Any ideas?
[05:50] <Tristantio> poss_ run live cd and just change directory to your hard drives to grab your data

[05:50] <poss_> thats what im trying to do now, but its spitting errors at me
[05:50] <expecto> its a directory: es un directorio
[05:51] <milamber> expecto: did you extract the files to a folder called foldit?
[05:51] <milamber> expecto: because that indicates that you are in your home directory
[05:51] <expecto> it extracted itself to a folder called Foldit, yes
[05:51] <milamber> expecto: ok, then do: cd Foldit
[05:51] <milamber> expecto: then ./Foldit
[05:51] <Starminn> n2diy_: This is for version 9.10 but it may still work. Not that old so it's worth a shot. http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9148876

[05:52] <Abinadi> ack
[05:52] <n2diy_> Starminn, ok, thanks.
[05:52] <milamber> expecto: now you are in the directory that the files are extracted to. ./Foldit will run the program
[05:52] <Starminn> n2diy_: Form all of the articles I've read though in the last few minutes most of them mentioned making your own image and linking it by hand in the code for the panel. Sorry it couldn't be easier. Good luck. Ask if you need anything else. :)

[05:53] <overclucker> Abinadi: did yo uinstall guest additions?
[05:53] <canthus13> Unit1931: Or whatever the channel is.

[05:53] <Abinadi> overclucker, yes, it's installed

[05:53] <poss_> ubuntu just ate three hard drives
[05:53] <poss_> this is insane
[05:54] <Unit1931> canthus13: Not doing it... I'm lost...
[05:54] <ohsix> ubuntu didn't do it :] partman did

[05:55] <abhinav_singh> i am getting an attached screen by running screen -ls ...how do I resume that screen?
[05:55] <poss_> Starmin: I am just trying to browse to them using nautilus, but they arent there
[05:55] <Chikokishi> When i sign onto the user without admin power my sound works and internet doesnt. when i sign into admin the internet works and the sound doesnt.  Help.
[05:55] <Starminn> poss_: Because you have to mount them first.
[05:55] <expecto> milamber, here is all which ive introduce in the command since the start:
[05:55] <expecto> http://paste.ubuntu.com/569038/
[05:56] <Starminn> poss_: You could try two things. One (the easier but less likely for it to "automagically" work) is go to Places->Computer and see if they're there.
[05:56] <poss_> i did gksudo nautilus, so I have full access, but when i click on them they say "error mounting"
[05:56] <Starminn> poss_: Oh.
[05:56] <Starminn> poss_: Have you tried doing it from the CLI?
[05:57] <poss_> I don't speak CLI
 screen -x <ID>
[05:58] <ruan> ok, what is the ubuntu channel for spanish?
[05:58] <Abinadi> Starminn, don't you ever go to bed?  lmao.  I'm off to see the wizard, or a movie whichever is on.  Thanks for all your help today everyone!
[05:58] <milamber> expecto: sudo apt-get install libglut3
[05:58] <Starminn> poss_: type in "sudo fdisk -l" to view all partitions.
[05:58] <poss_> not that it matters, now the liveCD has frozen
[05:58] <bazhang> ruan,#ubuntu-es
[05:58] <ruan> ty
[05:58] <poss_> I can't the live disk froze..  again..
[05:58] <Starminn> Abinadi: Sleep is for the weak.
[05:58] <Starminn> Abinadi: YEah I do I will in about an hour :)
[05:58] <expecto> i did milamber
[05:58] <expecto> i think it ended?
[05:59] <expecto> :p
[05:59] <jiohdi> poss_, do you have any special video cards?
[05:59] <KXTwo> Hey everyone, on windows I was a big fan of Utorrent, but I dont think it has a linux version, hopefully im wrong so if I am how do I get Utorrent, otherwise what is a good one?
[05:59] <poss_> are liveCDs even meant to be able to freeze?
[05:59] <soreau> ! es | ruan
[05:59] <milamber> expecto: now ./Foldit
[05:59] <Starminn> poss_: Well just so we're clear, Ubuntu did not ruin the drives. Ubuntu is just not mounting them.
[05:59] <sacarlson> poss_: does is sound like the cd is spinning up and down fast and slow?  maybe bad cd media problem
[05:59] <ruan> yeah i know, this is for someone else
[05:59] <bazhang> !torrent | KXTwo
[05:59] <Chikokishi> When i sign onto the user without admin power my sound works and internet doesnt. when i sign into admin the internet works and the sound doesnt.  Help.
[05:59] <Starminn> poss_: Did you burn it at the slowest speed?
[05:59] <poss_> cd isn't spinning at all
[05:59] <expecto> http://paste.ubuntu.com/569039/
[05:59] <expecto> ok
[05:59] <bazhang> KXTwo,try some and find out.
[05:59] <KXTwo> wow
[06:00] <Blue1> Chikokishi: quick thing to check are you a member of the group "audio" in /etc/group
[06:00] <KXTwo> amazing lol
[06:00] <poss_> I burnt the cd at middle speed using all the data sureity options
[06:00] <expecto> oh i think it worked
[06:00] <milamber> !torrent | KXTwo
[06:00] <Chikokishi> Blue1 wehat do you mean? sorry i am new to ubuntu
[06:00] <Chikokishi> what*
[06:00] <expecto> a screen came up its updating
[06:00] <expecto> thanks :)
[06:00] <KXTwo> already been done milamber and pretty much a pointless answer, but thank you :)
[06:00] <ruan> transmission is pre installed with ubuntu
[06:01] <silverlightning> do any of you have a hotmail or live email account?
[06:01] <ohsix> KXTwo: you can also run utorrent with wine
[06:01] <silverlightning> I cannot access the login page at all
[06:01] <expecto> will i be able to just click the icon from now on']
[06:01] <JeffCBR> Anyone knowledable with irssi?
[06:01] <expecto> ?
[06:01] <Starminn> poss_: If you feel there may be an error with the CD you may wish to check it for errors. I will ubottu you in a moment.
[06:01] <milamber> KXTwo: transmission is the default and it works pretty well for me. good luck in your endeavors :-)
[06:01] <Blue1> Chikokishi: cat /etc/group | grep audio
[06:01] <bazhang> JeffCBR,the people in #irssi
[06:01] <Starminn> !md5 | poss_
[06:01] <jrgill> cant believe the mute button and all that works on my keyboard in live cd :P
[06:01] <KXTwo> ohsix, I think I found a linux version of utorrent
[06:01] <poss_> I verified the checksum
[06:01] <milamber> expecto: that means the program is running?
[06:01] <JeffCBR> bazhang: Thanks, I'll try that. :D
[06:01] <ohsix> JeffCBR: if they are their time is better spent answering a question, not signalling their prowess ;]
[06:02] <axjota> Tristantio> ehh
[06:02] <KXTwo> I l oved utorrent it was lite and simple
[06:02] <poss_> I wouldn't install any OS without verifying the disc first
[06:02] <Chikokishi> Blue1 do i type that in terminal?
[06:02] <jrgill> and media controls :)
[06:02] <Starminn> poss_: Ah. Hmm. You could always forfeit the GUI. IT could just be a graphics card like somebodyearlier stated. To do so, just type in "CTRL+ALT+F1"
[06:02] <JeffCBR> lol, ohsix. But, I don't have an irssi question. I just want to knowif anyone knows about it. :P
[06:02] <Blue1> Chikokishi: yes, paste the one line of output here.
[06:02] <axjota> jrgill> hi
[06:02] <KXTwo> yess utorrent does have a linux downlnoad
[06:03] <expecto> its running yes :)
[06:03] <ruan> check the ubuntu software center
[06:03] <poss_> ok, im waiting for it to restart
[06:03] <expecto> milamber
[06:03] <axjota> to jrjill:HI
[06:03] <milamber> expecto: excellent
[06:03] <KXTwo> no gui though
[06:03] <expecto> thank you, so next time i want to play i have to do the same process?
[06:03] <jrgill> where are the monitor and video lines and all that in xorg.conf?  im looking in the configs in /usr/share.  i don't see this.
[06:04] <venkatraman> hi I was trying to upgrade my ubuntu vm from 10.04 to 10.10 ..It stopped in between due to power failure. Now , i have used livecd and chroot...now apt-get upgrade or apt-get -f install , both stops with error
[06:04] <ruan> KXTwo: you can search "torrent" in ubuntu software center, and try them
[06:04] <poss_> fdisk sees the partitions exist
[06:04] <atila> #liat
[06:04] <Chikokishi> Blue1: audio:x:29:pulse
[06:04] <alkisg> venkatraman: is the *first* error you see about dbus?
[06:04] <Gryllida> atila?
[06:04] <lamefun> where can I ask about GTK/GNOME programming?
[06:04] <Starminn> poss_: Awesome. Now just follow this guide: http://www.scottklarr.com/topic/133/how-to-mount-and-unmount-a-drive-in-linux/
[06:04] <KXTwo> ruan, yah I saw those, just wanted some opinions first
[06:04] <Blue1> Chikokishi: okay that's good you should NOT be a member of the group audio.
[06:05] <xorwhy> Where do I input the IP address and port of a proxy that is to be applied system-wide? I'm using the gnome desktop, if that helps
[06:05] <milamber> expecto: the sudo apt-get command installed a dependency you were missing. but you will have to cd into the directory and then run the prog, yes. there are ways to create shortcuts though if that gets too cumbersome.
[06:05] <Chikokishi> Blue1 What does being a group of audio group mean?
[06:05] <bazhang> KXTwo,please dont poll here   try #ubuntu-bots
[06:05] <KXTwo> poll?
[06:05] <venkatraman> alkisg: dbus error also i have seen
[06:05] <expecto> well thanks milamber :)
[06:05] <icedtea> lamefun: in what language?
[06:05] <lamefun> english
[06:05] <soreau> Hey guys, does <?php and ?> have to appear on the first column of the line or should you be able to use <?php somecmd(); ?> ok?
[06:05] <alkisg> venkatraman: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dbus/+bug/552404
[06:06] <Starminn> poss_: Since that's a bit vague this goes into more well-explained detail if you wish: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/mounting.html (more plain english)
[06:06] <icedtea> lamefun: what programming language I mean?
[06:06] <lamefun> C
[06:06] <Blue1> Chikokishi: are you hard wired, or wireless?
[06:06] <poss_> ok im trying that now
[06:06] <Chikokishi> Blue1 wiresless, i can hrd if you need me to
[06:06] <root> hi
[06:06] <Chikokishi> hi root
[06:06] <icedtea> lamefun: if you need help with C programming, join #c, otherwise there's another irc network for gtk/gnome thats better than this one
[06:07] <Blue1> Chikokishi: nope but I;ll need to get my netbook to check something back in a couple
[06:07] <Guest26553> can i ask something chikokishi
[06:07] <xorwhy> nevermind i found it
[06:07] <Chikokishi> Thank you
[06:07] <Chikokishi> Whts up Guest
[06:07] <Senjai> !ask | Guest26553
[06:07] <Guest26553> i use bt4 and already install wine...i install teamviewer but cannot run
[06:08] <icedtea> lamefun: its irc.gnome.org
[06:08] <bazhang> Guest26553,#backtrack-linux for that NOT here
[06:08] <icedtea> lamefun: http://live.gnome.org/GnomeIrcChannels
[06:08] <KXTwo> oh god, god forbid some one is polite lol
[06:08] <costas> not me...
[06:09] <Starminn> Guest26553: You are sure that the program you wish to run will run in WINE?
[06:09] <bazhang> !backtrack | Guest26553
[06:09] <Starminn> bazhang, Guest26553: Oh, sorry, didn't see bazhang replied. Listen to him. :)
[06:10] <costas> Guest26553, you could read in the wine site more...
[06:10] <Guest26553> tnx a lot dear...
[06:10] <icedtea> lamefun: #gtk+ is probably what you want
[06:10] <Blue1> Chikokishi: right click on your wireless connection icon, then select wireless, find your connectionm at the bottom make sure availiable to all users IS checked.
[06:10] <KXTwo> man that bot is annoying people use it too much lol
[06:10] <Senjai> Guest26553, there is a helpful irc channel on this network for wine, you can look at it too for help as well #winehq
[06:10] <Starminn> !appdb | Guest26553: To check if the program will run in WINE --
[06:10] <costas> too tired to type, or too aristocratic perhaps 8-)
[06:11] <Senjai> KXTwo, like me? :P
[06:11] <poss_> Starminn, so fdisk shows the drives are there, but when i actually go to mount them it says they dont exist
[06:11] <ohsix> KXTwo: thats the only thing some people do, typing is hard
[06:11] <xorwhy> I added a proxy to "Network Proxy Preferences" and clicked "Apply system-wide" but it did not  work.
[06:11] <poss_> "mount: special device dev/sda1 does not exist"
[06:11] <Senjai> ohsix, all so hard.
[06:11] <Chikokishi> blue1 i have "enable wireless" but thats it
[06:11] <costas> poss_, check disk manager in synaptic, install it and mount your disks properly
[06:11] <Guest26553> tnx i try it  now
[06:11] <icedtea> poss_: what command are you using to mount it exactly?
[06:11] <Starminn> poss_: I've never had to mount a drive myself, so beyond the simple "howto" I'm not of much use. Perhaps others will chime in?
[06:12] <poss_> costas: that would require me having a gui
[06:12] <KXTwo> ohsix, apparantly lol, I ask for personal opinions on torrent clients and I get a bot response of a list of all of them, obviously I could have done that myself lol
[06:12] <costas> use man mount for more info
[06:12] <Blue1> Chikokishi: are you logged in as root, or no?
[06:12] <Senjai> costas, that manual sucks, I can't even understand it.
[06:12] <costas> poss read the man pages, easy
[06:12] <ohsix> KXTwo: i use utorrent and transmission
[06:12] <costas> !mount
[06:13] <poss_> iced tea:  three comands are required: sudo mkdir /test/drives/250   then sudo chmod 777 /test/drives/250    then sudo mount dev/sda1 /test/drives/250
[06:13] <Blue1> all righty then.
[06:13] <Chikokishi> Blue1 Ok i got it
[06:13] <Chikokishi> Blue1 Ok i got it
[06:13] <icedtea> try sudo mount /dev/sda1 /test/drives/250
[06:13] <Blue1> Chikokishi: okay that will make the wireless connection available to anyone.
[06:13] <KXTwo> ohsix, im a utorrent fan on my windows machine, its so lite weight and simple, but no GUI yet, just command line
[06:14] <Starminn> KXTwo: You want me to bot you for "best"? :) When people ask for personal opinions/best apps in here they get a lecture on how "best" for Person A is different from Person B's opinion of "best." Which is true. Personally I use the default Transmission. I've tried Vuze but wasn't a fan.
[06:14] <poss_> that was the third command icedtea, or was there some subtle difference i missed?
[06:14] <Chikokishi> Oh, so my "guest" account will be able to use it?
[06:14] <costas> KXTwo, I just use Transmission on Debian...
[06:14] <icedtea> poss_: you left out the forward "/"
[06:14] <Senjai> Transmission is great :)
[06:14] <icedtea> or backslash rather
[06:14] <Starminn> KXTwo: Then again, I'm not a big torrent user. :)
[06:14] <Blue1> Chikokishi: yes, as long as "available to all users" is enabled for that wireless connection.
[06:14] <poss_> icedtea: genius!
[06:15] <Chikokishi> Ok, any idea why my sound isnt working?
[06:15] <KXTwo> in reality it doesnt matter, as long as it downloads as fast as possible lol
[06:15] <Abinadi> !sound | Chikokishi
[06:15] <Blue1> Chikokishi: i've been thinking about that, and nothing pops to mind....
[06:16] <Blue1> Chikokishi: irq conflicts, but that's extremely rare these days.
[06:16] <Chikokishi> Blue1, its strange, it worked fine this morning.. then it didnt
[06:16] <Blue1> Chikokishi: we can poke around a little.
[06:16] <Blue1> Chikokishi: private message ok?
[06:16] <KXTwo> I think I used vuze and azureus for windows and didnt care for either of them
[06:17] <Starminn> KXTwo: I have a pretty speedy connection and Transmission gets the job done fine. Could it be faster? Maybe. *shrug* I've not tried much else honestly because there's no need for it for me. Again though, I only use on occasion so if it's not top speed I'm okay with that. But just try them all out, man. Pick a torrent and use the same one for every client. Compare/contrast.
[06:17] <Senjai> KXTwo, uTorrent is the best for Windows, imo
[06:17] <icedtea> poss_: so it works?
[06:17] <Abinadi> ok, before anyone !vbox - es me I'm only asking in here because there isn't anyone at home over there.  I have a Maverick Host OS and am using VirtualBox with a guest OS of Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate and I can't seem to get Windows to recognize the sound card.  Any pointers?
[06:17] <poss_> now it is telling me I must specifiy a filesystem type, but i don't see anything about that in the documentation
[06:17] <KXTwo> Senjai, I agree, thats why I was hoping it had a linux version and it does but command line only.  Supposedly they are working on it though
[06:17] <Senjai> Starminn, Remember, that speed is not just determinent on software, also your connection, router, number of peers, and how fast they're connections are
[06:18] <Starminn> poss_: By the way, to get your GUI back type in "CTRL+ALT+F7". F1->F6 are terminals.
[06:18] <Senjai> Starminn, use a popular torrent with a low # of leechers, and test among different clients
[06:18] <royale1223> i made an aptoncd dvd but synaptic is not detecting it. Why? This problem is only on my administrator account.
[06:18] <bazhang> silverlightning,try ##linux this is Ubuntu only
[06:18] <Starminn> Senjai: I know, thus why I suggested he use the same torrent file for each client.
[06:18] <poss_> thanks Starminn, I figured that out last night, but it was a tense few minutes while googling on my phone :P
[06:19] <Starminn> poss_: Lol. Same here first time I did it
[06:19] <icedtea> poss_: what type of filesystem is it do you know ? is its windows or linux like?
[06:19] <royale1223> i made an aptoncd dvd but synaptic is not detecting it. Why? This problem is only on my administrator account.
[06:19] <poss_> I have a 250 gb linux a 1TB windows and an 80gb linux
[06:20] <icedtea> poss_: which one are you trying to mount?
[06:20] <Starminn> poss_: What's the filesystem type? If Windows it's NTFS. If Linux it's probably ext<something>. To specify filesystem type while mounting you type in "mount -t <filesystem type> ......" with .... being the rest of the comman.
[06:20] <ruan> you can tell what it is with sudo fdisk -l
[06:20] <poss_> to be honest, im not even sure what I'm doing anymore, i jsut want the computer to work
[06:21] <costas> Chikokishi, you use alsa or oss?
[06:21] <Senjai> poss_ welcome to linux :P
[06:21] <Starminn> Senjai: :)
[06:21] <poss_> so the two small drives both have data i want to rescue on them
[06:22] <poss_> the big drive is completely empty but its external so its slow
[06:22] <costas> poss don't listen to them Ubuntu is stable enough... after all it's debian based...
[06:22] <Tristantio> poss do they show up when you do "df -h" ?
[06:22] <Senjai> I remember spending hours reconfiguring iptables, my router and everything to get apache to work externally, just to find out i had firestarter running in the background.
[06:22] <icedtea> poss_: are you trying to mount the windows drive or linux one?
[06:22] <poss_> both
[06:22] <Senjai> costas, not implying instability, just saying linux, at it its points, has a steep learning curve.
[06:23] <icedtea> poss_: one at a time please :)
[06:23] <poss_> ok well the linux one worked.. i think..  i have no idea how to check, but it didn't give an error
[06:23] <Tristantio> poss_: do the drives show up with df -h?
[06:23] <poss_> so its the windows one that is requiring a file type
[06:23] <icedtea> poss_: if its a windows drive do the following: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /blah/blah
[06:23] <Tristantio> "df -h" will show if it is mounted or not
[06:24] <costas> Senjai, linux is a read and practise OS, as opposed to closed source OSs. Yeah it's hard for the average point & click person but it's fine by me
[06:24] <Prinler> Ok, having issues. I was playing with an old
[06:25] <poss_> its saying its not ntfs
[06:25] <Senjai> costas, I remember when I first got ubuntu, killed myself a few times before figuring somethings out. It's hard for anyone at first I think.
[06:25] <Senjai> poss_ windows is usually ntfs, or fat32
[06:25] <icedtea> poss_: mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /blah /blah
[06:25] <royale1223> i made an aptoncd dvd but synaptic is not detecting it. Why? This problem is only on my administrator account.
[06:26] <poss_> so on fdisk it sayw w95 ext'd (lba) if that helps
[06:26] <costas> Senjai I'm an ancient debian user, bought it from France in 1994-95 (can't remember exactly too much drugs then) 8-D
[06:26] <sacarlson> poss_: when I hear royale1223 did you add the new cd to your repository in synaptic?
[06:27] <sacarlson> opps no you poos_
[06:27] <royale1223> sacarlson: i cant add
[06:27] <Prinler> Ok, having issues. I was playing with an old P4. got ubuntu installed... decided i wanted to get a video card that has hdmi... I get the card to find out its pci-e.. my bad.. P4 doesnt support.  So i get another box.. AMD x2 something buncha ram. slap in a HD and installed new video card. Nvidia 8300. So it installs and seems to run fine. I have been running into a crazy amount of weird stuff. VNC wont let me connect 100%, winscp wont conn
[06:27] <Prinler> ect 100% when i go back to the box it had no network connectivity. Can anyone help me out?
[06:27] <poss_> no i didn't sacarison
[06:27] <Senjai> costas, haha! << windows 7 winapi programmer, as you can imagine, big switch
[06:27] <Tristantio> poss_ you sure your drive isn't mounted already if its showing up in fdisk?
[06:27] <Tristantio> df -h shows all mounts
[06:27] <bazhang> Prinler,lspci for the chipsets
[06:27] <costas> poss, do youself a favour, do a clean install... first back up to a neutral partition your data
[06:27] <sacarlson> royale1223: do you know how to add a cd to your repository?
[06:28] <poss_> costas, that is what I am trying to do
[06:28] <royale1223> scrooloose: getinng the error
[06:28] <bazhang> Prinler,paste.ubuntu.com with that command plese
[06:28] <royale1223> scrooloose: getinng the error E: Failed to mount the cdrom.
[06:28] <poss_> costas, i currently cant see any of the drives in order to back them up
[06:28] <Prinler> ok hmmm
[06:28] <sacarlson> royale1223: oh sounds like a media problem on that cd then
[06:28] <Prinler> lemme see how i can do this
[06:28] <poss_> well now i can see one drive, but i cant see the externa; drive to copy stuff too
[06:28] <icedtea> Prinler: can you ping anything on the new box?
[06:28] <Tristantio> poss_ if you are using an external drive you sure it isn't just at the usb mount
[06:29] <royale1223> sacarlson: nah. it works on my friends ubuntu
[06:29] <Tristantio> its probably a usb drive right?
[06:29] <costas> poss, do you have a spare partition? install there, and backup after Ubuntu install with gui etc
[06:29] <Prinler> I can ping on fresh boot. On failed connection attempt it shuts down the connection...
[06:29] <Prinler> I can pull network cable and replug back in ... and it works
[06:29] <bazhang> Prinler,need the chipsets to troubleshoot
[06:29] <Prinler> ok
[06:29] <sacarlson> royale1223: I have two cd drives in a single pc one will sometimes read a cd that the other won't
[06:29] <poss_> icedtea: it says "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb3, missing codepage or helper program or other error"
[06:30] <costas> sacarlson, maby you have a faulty cable...
[06:30] <poss_> I tried unplugging and replugging, but it doesn't show up anywhere but in fdisk
[06:30] <share> hello
[06:30]  * Senjai waves at share
[06:30] <share> lol
[06:30] <royale1223> sacarlson: if i create another account it works perfectly.. i mean user acc
[06:30] <costas> poss mount manually, do a "man mount" to ensure proper ext3 or ext4 attributes
[06:30] <sacarlson> costas: no both cd readers will read some disks just one disk reads more disks than the other,  just better focus or stronger laser
[06:31] <icedtea> poss_: what type does: fdisk -l display
[06:31] <share> is it possible to create a shortcut for a word?
[06:31] <Tristantio> poss
[06:31] <costas> sacarlson, maby it's time you threw away the one that doesn't read well enough
[06:31] <sacarlson> royale1223: oh then your other user doesn't have mount privliges
[06:31] <Tristantio> do
[06:31] <Tristantio> sudo mount -t msdos /blabla /blabla
[06:31] <share> instead of launching a program write text
[06:31] <Tristantio> for your usb drive
[06:31] <poss_> W95 Ext'd
[06:31] <poss_> W95 Ext'd (LBA)
[06:32] <ryan__> greetings ;]
[06:32] <sacarlson> costas: I don't use eather cd anymore I install direct from hard disk,  it's faster and works every time
[06:32] <costas> managed to destroy a plextor with DVDs that needed backup myself
[06:32] <royale1223> sacarlson: it do have mount privilages
[06:32] <Starminn> share: More details please? What exactly are you trying to do/how are you wanting to go about it?
[06:32] <poss_> oh wait my bad
[06:32] <poss_> I was reading fdisk all wrong
[06:32] <royale1223> sacarlson: brb
[06:32] <poss_> let me try that again
[06:32] <ryan__> a most curious thing is happening.... my laptop keeps beeping at me and I cannot seem to figure out how to make it stop. I have been running ubuntu for several months now and have never seen this type of thing. Anyone have any kind of suggestion for troubleshooting?
[06:33] <sacarlson> royale1223: so what's different bettween the two users?  what groups do each belong to that's different?
[06:33] <Tristantio> ryan__ is your laptop booting or beeping at boot
[06:33] <Tristantio> if it beeps every 5 to 10 sec and wont boot its ram
[06:33] <Prinler> http://paste.ubuntu.com/569044/
[06:33] <poss_> ok now its giving me the same error as when i tried to mount from gui
[06:33] <Tristantio> hey poss
[06:33] <Tristantio> can you hear me?
[06:33] <Tristantio> did you try the msdos type
[06:33] <share> Starminn: ie if I press ctrl+t Ubuntu types text... you know .. to bind a keyboard shortcut to write soemthing
[06:34] <ryan__> no,  the regular bios beep does still happen,  this beep I am asking about is happening about every 4 seconds and is a single short beep,  temps read fine and the battery is fully charged and running on AC
[06:34] <ryan__> this is in the running OS
[06:34] <poss_> Falied to mount,  NTFS is either inconsistent or there is a hardware fault, or its a softRAID/FakeRAID hardware.
[06:34] <Starminn> share: Mess around with System->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts
[06:34] <bazhang> Prinler,does ifconfig show only lo , or also eth0
[06:34] <share> Starminn: I know that.. but how do I make type text..
[06:35] <Prinler> Only eth0
[06:35] <poss_> but its a brand new drive, it has like 8gb of stuff on it and has been working flawlessly right up until i started messing with ubuntu today
[06:35] <ryan__> i have reloaded the sound driver as a shot in the dark but no relief
[06:35] <Starminn> share: I've never done much with them myself. You could try inserting the desired text as the "command" or you could just write a script to write something and call it in the "command" box. Either way it's worth a shot, 'eh?
[06:35] <poss_> it can't be stuffed, it is incocievable that I have had three seperate hard drives all magically independantly die on the same day during the same process
[06:36] <ryan__> I wonder what it's trying to tell me
[06:36] <bazhang> Prinler,there does not appear to be a wireless nic there; sudo dhclient eth0 to get wired working
[06:36] <Tristantio> ryan__ is the beep from your hardware or from your sound?
[06:36] <poss_> surely that is a stastical impossibility?
[06:36] <royale1223> sacarlson: both are administrator acc
[06:36] <costas> poss sounds, like you did some damage during partitioning...
[06:36] <ryan__> Tristantio,  it's from the audio device
[06:36] <poss_> the external drive was not being partitioned
[06:37] <ryan__> not from a hardware speaker like the temperature warning
[06:37] <jamiewan> poss_, have you checked the drives on another machine
[06:37] <poss_> it was just sitting there waiting to have stuff copied to it
[06:37] <sacarlson> royale1223: and when they attempt to mount are they using sudo?
[06:37] <ryan__> I find it odd that I'm not getting a graphical alert
[06:38] <Prinler> its up... and i can browes the net
[06:38] <Arney> Ubuntu is failing to install... giving getpwuid_r() "failed due to unkwon user id"
[06:39] <Prinler> when i try to connect to the box it will attempt to authenticate... ask me for password... then quit... error out and say it cant connect.. Then i run over to box and its got no network abilities
[06:39] <icedtea> hey... in ubuntu... what happened to the ifup and ifdown commands?
[06:39] <poss> ok i just tried the external drive on my laptop, it is buggered
[06:39] <Arney> Ive tried reinstalling on my usb stick and another hard drive partition, aswell as redownloading the image. No change.
[06:39] <jamiewan> poss, must of screwed up partitioning stuff, bugger
[06:39] <costas> Arney, that's a first for me, anyone?
[06:40] <poss> jamiewan: the external drive was not being partitioned, how could it be ruined, it was just plugged in
[06:40] <poss> oh great, now my uncle, my aunt and my gf are ALL going to kill me for destroying their hard drives
[06:40] <maco> icedtea: they're there. and they work. config goes in /etc/network/interfaces   any interface configured there is not managed by Network Manager, iirc, and if NM thinks it owns that interface (because it did when it started) then you can't use ifup/ifdown on that command until NM is made aware that it does not
[06:40] <KXTwo> Arney, are you booting live cd from a usb car?
[06:40] <costas> poss, do try to mount and backup... take it slow
[06:40] <Senjai[coding]> poss, say your dog ate it?
[06:40] <maco> icedtea: (or until NM's service is stopped)
[06:40] <poss> at some point it has to be clear that this is not a hardware fault...
[06:40] <Arney> live usb and usb install
[06:41] <Arney> and live primary partition on my hd
[06:41] <Prinler> Example, Winscp... It says authenticating... Authenticated, starting the session... reading remote directory... Then it locks up and eventually say can not connect.
[06:41] <poss> lol senjai, they have been watching me trying to fix this problem for two days now, i don't think the dog ate it will really cut it
[06:41] <_NaN_> how can I delete the content of a variable in bash?
[06:41] <Arney> none work
[06:41] <Prinler> bazhang,
[06:42] <costas> Arney, did you download the iso and try that?
[06:42] <KXTwo> will your ubuntu usb boot ?
[06:42] <Arney> yes it will
[06:42] <Arney> but after I click install
[06:42] <Arney> or live
[06:42] <sacarlson> royale1223: are both your users a member of the users group "fuse" ?
[06:42] <bazhang> Prinler,yes
[06:42] <Arney> it either hangs when I click live, or throws an unkown user id error
[06:42] <Arney> when I click install
[06:43] <tim__> Hello my name is Fabian, I've seen your videos on youtube and I think maybe I can ayudar.Sabes if possible install or run on Ubuntu 10.10 Adobe Illustrator?
[06:43] <bazhang> Arney,keep it one line, its impossible to read otherwise
[06:43] <poss_> damn connection keeps dropping
[06:43] <icedtea> maco: does ubuntu have a substitute command for ifup and ifdown that is automatically configured when ubuntu is installed?
[06:43] <bazhang> tim__,check the appdb
[06:43] <bazhang> !appdb > tim__
[06:43] <maco> icedtea: no, the command is exactly the same
[06:43] <poss_> uh guys..   the live disc just crashed again,  from alt ctrl f1..  i wasn't even doing anything
[06:43] <poss_> it just crashed
[06:43] <KXTwo> Arney, boot into ubuntu from your usb, then use gpart to set up your partitions, then reboot and i nstead of booting into ubunto arrow to the install option
[06:43] <poss_> that can't be graphics drivers
[06:44] <bazhang> poss_,then burn a new one
[06:44] <maco> poss_: bad burn?
[06:44] <silverlightning> is there any distro more easy going than Ubuntu?
[06:44] <poss_> i checked the checksum
[06:44] <silverlightning> like lubuntu perhaps
[06:44] <bazhang> silverlightning,discuss in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:44] <KXTwo> wait Arney, where did you download the iso for
[06:44] <poss_> i checked the disc
[06:44] <icedtea> silverlightning: linux from scratch ;)
[06:44] <Arney> KXTwo: Ubuntu wont boot, it get stuck in "user id unknown"
[06:44] <Tristantio> poss make sure you burn at a low disk burn speed or you may have a bad burn and crash on an otherwise "good" disk
[06:44] <costas> silverlightning, try debian
[06:44] <researcher1> is there a way to creat username and passwords in bulk? I want to allow access to Ubuntu for 300 students
[06:44] <silverlightning> bazhang, you really are strickt about this
[06:44] <Prinler> bazhang, Any ideas? SSH installed, xbmc installed, all updates installed, attempted x11vncserver, I cant get anything to connect. Connection drops dead in the middle of connecting
[06:44] <Arney> ubuntu.com but, I readownloaded and I still get the same problem
[06:45] <bazhang> silverlightning,indeed. what if every one here chimed in.
[06:45] <KXTwo> you didnt download the netbook version did you?
[06:45] <jrgill> where is xorg.conf on the live cd?  theres nothing in /usr/share with modelines
[06:45] <poss_> oh man, that shiny upgrade to next version button needs to be bright read and have a warning sign reading "WARNING: upgrading ubuntu may make everyone you love turn against you and destroy every hard drive in the house"
[06:45] <Arney> I tryed unetbootin and the default usb installer, both attempts fail.
[06:45] <maco> silverlightning: write a script and feed a file full of usernames to it?
[06:45] <sacarlson> poss_:  maybe hardware?  memory faults can cause random crashes like that
[06:45] <Tristantio> Hey jrgill type "locate xorg.conf", very useful command
[06:45] <maco> silverlightning: if you're intending to have 300 students and have them able to login on any system though....id say you need LDAP
[06:45] <Tristantio> will tell you where your file is
[06:45] <n2diy_> my and back up box and printer are downstairs, the printer has an SD card in it that I want a file off of, can I ftp to it?
[06:45] <jrgill> ok
[06:46] <poss_> i ran a memory check yesterday sacarison, it ran clean
[06:46] <KXTwo> did you download 32bit or 64bit?
[06:46] <silverlightning> maco, don't misunderstand me, I am keeping it to ubuntu related distros, like lubuntu, xubuntu...
[06:46] <jrgill> none of these have video lines
[06:46] <KXTwo> Arney,  did you download 32 bit or 64 bit?
[06:46] <Arney> 32
[06:47] <jrgill> edev, synaptics, vmmouse, wacom, synaptics-quirks, magictrackpad
[06:47] <KXTwo> Arney, from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download ?
[06:47] <maco> silverlightning: LDAP is a thing that makes it so that you have centralised authentication. can make it so every system in the school uses LDAP as a backend, even the Windows ones (Active Directory is based on LDAP)
[06:47] <bazhang> silverlightning,easygoing? as on the cpu/graphics/ram requirements?
[06:47] <maco> silverlightning: then instead of setting up user accounts for every student on every computer, you set it up once, and they login everywhere
[06:47] <Arney> KXTwo: Yes, both times from there, 10.10 non LTS
[06:48] <Prinler> ok, sudo dhclient eth0, shows NODHCPOFFERS recived
[06:48] <KXTwo> Arney, how did you install it to your usb?
[06:48] <poss_> so uh...  I guess im just completely screwed then guys?
[06:48] <costas> poss, you CAN use mount and save your data, don't be lazy
[06:48] <bazhang> Prinler,try bringing eth0 down and up again, be sure the cable is well attached then try again
[06:48] <Arney> KXTwo: on the third line of the error I get, xor: automatically using best checksuming function: PIII_SSE
[06:48] <poss_> I've run out of hard drives to sacrifice to ubuntu,  the live cd crashes, the new install crashes..
[06:49] <bazhang> poss_,burn a new cd
[06:49] <Arney> KXTwo: once using unetbootin and another time with Quniversal usb installer"
[06:49] <poss_> costas: No i cant, i just told you, the live cd crashed
[06:49] <poss_> it crashes randomly
[06:49] <KXTwo> universal usb installer is the way to do it
[06:49] <poss_> *sigh* ok guys thanks for your help, im going to go cry for a bit
[06:49] <bazhang> Arney,it may take more than a single attempt. took me twice with unetbootin
[06:49] <thune3> poss_: i usually suspect wifi or video drivers from random crashes
[06:49] <sacarlson> poss_: you want to try a boot direct from hard disk,  it's just a grub2 entry to point at a iso file you want to install
[06:49] <KXTwo> im not sure what the problem is, if you followed all of your instructions properly.
[06:50] <silverlightning> bazhang, yes like a weaker portable with 1GB RAM, 1,5GHz non dual processors
[06:50] <KXTwo> I used universal usb installer, and it worked perfectly no issues
[06:50] <bazhang> silverlightning,then lubuntu, or minimal iso and build up
[06:50] <Arney> bazhang: I have reinstalled the iso 5 different times with a combination of installers
[06:50] <Arney> bazhang: including formatting
[06:50] <bazhang> !minimal > silverlightning
[06:50] <costas> poss_, in your shoes, I'd choose a new partition, and format it, then install from an ubuntu iso just to make sure, then save the data, then format all and do a clean install.-
[06:51] <bazhang> Arney,formatting how/with what to what
[06:51] <n2diy_> my back up box and printer are downstairs, the printer has an SD card in it that I want a file off of, can I ftp to it? Using gftp I've looked for the printer under /mnt, /mount, and /dev, but I can't find it?
[06:51] <KXTwo> but you are saying it wont even boot into ubuntu from the usb, that makes no sense to me
[06:51] <bazhang> Arney,sounds like a corrupt iso or a bad 'burn' still.
[06:51] <Prinler> bazhang, Nope, down then back up.... no traffic... I HAVE to unplug cable and then back in. Only way it resets so it goes online again...
[06:51] <Arney> bazhang: I redownloaded the iso and reinstalled
[06:52] <Tristantio> if you can't boot into ubuntu from usb are you sure your motherboard supports usb boot?
[06:52] <KXTwo> what kind of system are you in stalling to?
[06:52] <bazhang> Arney,reinstalled ; did you extract from the iso?
[06:52] <costas> Arney, maby your router isn't configured to let the net install happen...
[06:52] <Arney> bazhang: I checked the formatting boxes on unet and universal usb installer
[06:52] <Arney> no
[06:52] <bazhang> Arney,no to whom
[06:52] <Arney> costas: I dont have the laptop connected to the internet
[06:53] <Arney> bazhang: I did not extract the files first
[06:53] <bazhang> Prinler,how did you bring the interface down and then back up, what command please
[06:53] <sacarlson> poss_: if you choose to try it heres the method for direct boot from iso but sounds like some kind of hardware problem,  maybe disable everything you don't need in bios and try again.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604  for direct iso boot
[06:53] <KXTwo> Arney, you dont need to change any options on universal usb installer unless you want persistence, delete both iso's youve downloaded, download a new one
[06:53] <serp_> sometimes my ubuntu freezes and capslock + numlock start to blink. the only solution is to reboot. how do I troubleshoot this?
[06:53] <KXTwo> start usb installer tell it you want ubuntu 10.10 and it will automatically find the iso then just click next
[06:54] <KXTwo> and clear your memory card first just to be safe
[06:54] <Prinler> bazhang, sudo ifconfig eth0 down
[06:54] <ohsix> serp_: that's a kernel panic
[06:54] <Arney> KXTwo: It wont fit without me formatting the stick.. but ok
[06:54] <KXTwo> Arney, it wont fit without your formatting?
[06:55] <KXTwo> Arney, I said to clear it, if you are going to format do fat32
[06:56] <Arney> KXTwo: I always formatted to fat32
[06:56] <serp_> ohsix: I was worryied that might be it. how do I get more information about what caused it?
[06:56] <Arney> KXTwo: its downloading, again. itll take 28 minutes
[06:56] <KXTwo> Arney the instructions are right here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download
[06:56] <ohsix> serp_: i had to use netconsole, theres probably a better way to do it though
[06:56] <KXTwo> step two click usb and windows
[06:57] <Prinler> bazhang, I just got into the box via ssh/putty... let me log in... then 15 seconds later poof.. connection dropped.
[06:58] <icedtea> Prinler: do you have two boxes with the same ip connected to a router? I've seen that same thing happen before
[06:58] <Prinler> hmmmm
[06:59] <icedtea> Prinler: are you using static ips?
[06:59] <Prinler> lemme change the ip
[06:59] <Prinler> I am
[06:59] <Prinler> 1.150
[06:59] <Prinler> lemme 1.155
[06:59] <durando> hey guys i have a image thats intended to be installed on a usb stick but i want to isntall it to a HDD i have done this in the past i just cant remeber the how
[06:59] <Arney> KXTwo: I am trying wubi on another computer from the same usb stick, while the other image downloads
[06:59] <jrgill> does the live cd use /etc/X11/xorg.conf?  doesnt seem like it.  i need to add some modelines.
[06:59] <jrgill> im using 10.10
[06:59] <maco> jrgill: you can create an xorg.conf and restart X
[06:59] <maco> jrgill: oh, just modelines?
[06:59] <drlego> I am unable to connect to any webpages while my bittorrent client is running ( at 5k/s up 5k/s down) using Firefox or MSIE in VBOX. Other programs such as IRC, e-mail, etc. function properly. Has anybody else encountered this probem?
[07:00] <maco> !resolution | jrgill
[07:00] <maco> jrgill: the reason there's no xorg.conf is that things can be configured on the fly now :) check out the wiki page
[07:00] <Arney> Wubi is trying to download the 64 bit version.... with torrents. That wont work on a university network.
[07:00] <serp_> ohsix: netconsole? serial console?
[07:00] <jrgill> maco: so theres no more xorg.conf?
[07:01] <maco> jrgill: by default, no. it's been unnecessary for 3 years
[07:02] <mycosys> nvidia wouldnt happen to have introduced persistant overclocking in their linux drivers would they, or a method to overclock via cli?
[07:02] <icedtea> Prinler: are you using virtualization also?
[07:02] <Prinler> Ok all set at 1.155
[07:02] <Prinler> whats that
[07:02] <jrgill> maco: oh wow.  so much has changed since i used linux for home use i.e. a gui
[07:02] <jrgill> i generated a config and placed it in X11.  i guess if it's not set to read the config, it wont.
[07:02] <jrgill> oh well.  this is good news.  should be easier to play w/ the resolution on my tv.  :)
[07:03] <icedtea> Prinler: like VMWare or virtualbox
[07:03] <Prinler> Ok, i changed my ip to 1.155 and im still not able to hold a connection.
[07:03] <Prinler> No
[07:03] <Prinler> clean install
[07:03] <researcher1> how can default boot order be changed on a dual boot (Ubuntu & XP) system
[07:04] <icedtea> Prinler: the netmask's are the same for both boxes?
[07:04] <Prinler> <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:04] <Prinler> yeah
[07:04] <sacarlson> Prinler: sounds alot like a network switch problem as I have had when I have setup the same mac on two machines,  but what's the chance of that?
[07:05] <Prinler> no
[07:05] <jrgill> maco: what did they do to x to eliminate the need for xorg.conf?  is it something fundamental you can describe in a sentence?
[07:05] <Prinler> I just did a clean install again to make sure it wasnt a flook.
[07:05] <icedtea> jrgill: better hardware probing
[07:05] <jrgill> oh
[07:05] <Prinler> perhaps the nic card has poor support?
[07:06] <icedtea> Prinler: both boxes can ping each other?
[07:06] <maco> jrgill: it gained the ability to ask the monitor "so, what resolutions & refresh rates do you support?" and just automatically try the highest.  granted, some monitors *lie* about what they support...and that's when you do what the wiki page says and add modes
[07:06] <sacarlson> Prinler: another small posibility is try set mtu to a smaller number like 512 instead of 1500 on the system that has the problem
[07:06] <costas> in debian and Ubuntu I suggest expert installs just in case to prevent mishaps...
[07:06] <Prinler> Ice, no not when it drops
[07:06] <poss_> ok, so I just reformatted the external drive on a windows box, its working on the windows box and on my ubuntu 10.10 laptop  now im going to try partitioning the 250gb to do an alongside install of 10.04 allongside 9.10  and see if that works
[07:07] <Arney> bazhang: I disabled the splash screen command on the installer, It seems to be throwing loads of squashFS read errors
[07:07] <Prinler> I cant ping the box
[07:07] <jrgill> maco: are we talking support for edid?
[07:07] <maco> jrgill: yep
[07:07] <jrgill> is there a command to easily pull edid?  id like to see what this tv says.
[07:07] <sacarlson> Prinler: as seen here try change the mtu to 512 or maybe 1492 http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/mtu.htm
[07:08] <maco> jrgill: umm... if you type `xrandr` all by itself it'll tell you what X has available to it
[07:08] <poss_> the partition worked, the install is now working as normal
[07:08] <costas> Arney, usb stick installs are fine by me but I prefer a DVD with a stable version...
[07:08] <Prinler> ok I can ping them now... had to redo cable again.!!!
[07:08] <maco> jrgill: ive never looked for a more "raw" way though
[07:08] <Arney> costas: my laptop doesnt have a cd rom drive
[07:08] <jrgill> ya thats what i was hoping for
[07:08] <sacarlson> Prinler:  I've had this problem with zyxel routers that my isp didn't like for reasons unknown to me setting a smaller mtu fixed it
[07:09] <costas> Arney, you could buy an external DVD-R
[07:09] <costas> cheap...
[07:09] <Arney> I have never had the need
[07:09] <jrgill> i have a very stubborn philips hdtv crt and it says it does 720p and 1080i but ive had no luck in windows w/ powerstrip.
[07:09] <robertzaccour> can i install ubuntu on my htc evo shift?
[07:09] <jrgill> also, all these things HDMI1 DP1 HDMI2 DP2 DP3 TV1 all disconnected, do they actually exist and just dont have ports on my laptop?
[07:09] <sacarlson> Prinler: can you try run wireshark to see trafic on the system?  or tcpdump?
[07:10] <Prinler> Everything was working fine on my P4 an hour ago.. I just installed 10.10 on this box and a few VNC tries later... network is crapping out
[07:10] <costas> ok, but you should let us know the errors you get while installing from the stick, in order to help ya out
[07:10] <poss_> the install is now frozen at %10
[07:10] <mycosys> vidia wouldnt happen to have introduced persistant overclocking in their linux drivers would they, or a method to overclock via cli?
[07:11] <icedtea> mycosys: try #nvidia
[07:11] <poss_> despite the checksum passes I am now convinced it must be an error with the live CD, I am torrenting a new one
[07:11] <n2diy_> my back up box and printer are downstairs, the printer has an SD card in it that I want a file off of, can I ftp to it? Using gftp I've looked for the printer under /mnt, /mount, and /dev, but I can't find it?
[07:11] <Prinler> its letting me in via ssh ... how weird.. longer then last time
[07:11] <Prinler> installing wireshark
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> n2diy_: does the SD share via ftp?
[07:11] <Prinler> I also have an infinite ping going to the router to!
[07:11] <icedtea> Prinler: maybe a bad ethernet cable?
[07:11] <costas> poss, I will get my local exorcist to assist you... 8-D
[07:12] <Arney> costas: I got a welcome to ubuntu message on the shell, but its not going anywhere from there, I disabled the installation splash screen
[07:12] <mycosys> lol icedtea - would have thought more would know here
[07:12] <_jesse_> n2diy_: I don't know if the system would have that mounted
[07:12] <n2diy_> ActionParsnip, I don't understand your question?
[07:12] <Prinler> icetea, doubtfull, worked 100% on other machines only hours ago
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> n2diy_: is the way to access the SD card on the printer via FTP?
[07:12] <_jesse_> n2diy_: might be something the printer deals with interanlly
[07:12] <_jesse_> *internally
[07:13] <n2diy_> ActionParsnip, I don't know, the printer is shared on the network.
[07:13] <costas> Arney, the installation errors exactly?
[07:13] <sacarlson> Prinler: if ping keeps it up that points more to the switch problem if it see's the mac from a different port it would redirect trafic to that port.  but if you keep ping going each time it sees output with that mac it will fix it
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> n2diy_: fine, thats the printer. I suggest you SSH to the server and run: mount    it may show
[07:14] <Arney> costas: through the shell they are mostly "SQASHFS error: unable to read data/page
[07:14] <n2diy_> ActionParsnip,  I'm using ssh2 with grsync
[07:14] <Prinler> soon as i tried VNC, it stopped working
[07:15] <sacarlson> Prinler: you could easily try change your mac address with macchanger to verify http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/macchanger
[07:15] <n2diy_> _jesse_, roger on the printer and box talking private to each other.
[07:15] <icedtea> Prinler: someone here suggested wireshark, or tcpdump, I second that
[07:15] <Prinler> Its not anything other then my machine guys, gimme a freaking break.
[07:15] <costas> Arney, I'm looking for a solution...
[07:16] <Prinler> I can see the mac addresses in my router
[07:16] <_jesse_> n2diy_: mmm so if you ssh into the server you can get at the sdcard?
[07:16] <Prinler> they are all different
[07:16] <poss_> is this link working for anyone else? http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[07:16] <poss_> i get 404
[07:16] <Gwar_Trolle> yup
[07:16] <_jesse_> poss_: me too
[07:16] <Gwar_Trolle> 404
[07:16] <KB1JWQ> 10.04.2 is out
[07:16] <icedtea> Prinler: the ip addresses of all the connected boxes are different too right?
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> n2diy_: that is moot, if you ssh to the system hosting the printer, do you see the SD card mounted at all?
[07:16] <Prinler> yes
[07:16] <n2diy_> _jesse_, I don't know, I just sshed into it now.
[07:17] <Raj007> Question - Are there any PPA with pre-compiled latest kernels for 10.10? (instead of 2.6.35-xx) ?
[07:17] <poss_> do you have a torrent link for it KB1JWQ?
[07:17] <sacarlson> Prinler: are all the mac address different also?
[07:17] <Prinler> As soon as something tried to get INTO the box it closes the nic from traffic
[07:17] <Prinler> yes all different
[07:17] <bazhang> Raj007,check the ppa search page
[07:17] <Prinler> sacarlson, i can see them all in my router
[07:17] <icedtea> dennys: I'd like a grand slam with whole wheat pancakes, eggwhites, turkey bacon, and granola
[07:17] <mycosys> raj007 - just enable updates and backports repos
[07:17] <costas> Arney, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SquashfsErrors
[07:17] <bazhang> icedtea,?
[07:17] <Raj007> bazhang, where would that be?
[07:18] <alex_> will  a Midern Computer Inc. Recovery DVD-ROM for Windows 7 home Premium allow me to create a VM in oracle virtualBox?
[07:18] <n2diy_> ActionParsnip, no, it doesn't show up with "mount"
[07:18] <_jesse_> poss_: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04.2/
[07:18] <alex_> it seems like it just hangs whenever i specify the drive
[07:18] <Raj007> mycosys: latest on those is still 2.6.35-xx.
[07:18] <Prinler> Lemme look for a nic card or wireless adapter. AFK a few
[07:18] <bazhang> Raj007,ppa search  first link
[07:18] <Raj007> just curious to try the newer one.
[07:18] <poss_> thankyou _jesse_
[07:18] <sacarlson> Prinler: well there had to be input trafic for ssh that you said worked,  so maybe the packet size for vnc is biger than ssh?  mtu?
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> n2diy_: ok then pull the sd card out, then wait a little then shove it back in and run:  dmesg | tail -n 15     has the OS reacted?
[07:18] <costas> Arney you there?
[07:19] <Arney> yes
[07:19] <costas> did you read the solutions above?
[07:19] <icedtea> bazhang: "dennys" is a restaraunt famous for there breakfasts here. They have one dubbed "the grand slam" pancakes and eggs and such
[07:19] <Arney> costas: I am looking at them, mostly what we have already tried.. im trying again with a 64bit image
[07:19] <sacarlson> Prinler: mtu = max transmition unit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit
[07:20] <costas> ok man, good luck...
[07:20] <bazhang> icedtea,I know. not ontopic for here though
[07:20] <costas> Arney, do try those: Temporary Workarounds
[07:20] <costas> Some users have reported that adding the ide=nodma or acpi=off allowed them to work around this issue (which proved to be bad memory modules). You might want to give that a try
[07:20] <costas> Successful boot was achieved by adding "all_generic_ide" to the grub boot line for the live CD.
[07:20] <costas> Add to the kernel line:
[07:20] <costas> ide=nodma acpi=off
[07:20] <FloodBot2> costas: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:21] <Senjai[coding]> harsh..
[07:21] <icedtea> bazhang: You need to lighten up
[07:21] <Arney> hey, did He just get muted
[07:21] <n2diy_> ActionParsnip, I went downstairs and ran mount there, and it shows up.
[07:21] <costas> yep
[07:21] <bazhang> icedtea,you need to stay on topic
[07:22] <Senjai[coding]> Everyone calm down. bazhang, it's not like he diverted or distracted the discussion, like it is now.
[07:22] <n2diy_> ActionParsnip, Now it shows up from up here?
[07:23] <alex_> hrm. i just installed Java runtime in the software manager.  I go and try to use an applet and it says "no Java detected"
[07:23] <alex_> firefox crashes flash when i try to switch to fullscreen.. Oracle virtual box hangs
[07:23] <alex_> is it time to uninstall ubuntu :(
[07:23] <Senjai[coding]> !java | alex_
[07:23] <n2diy_> ActionParsnip, And now it is showing up with gftp? Gremlins?
[07:23] <bazhang> alex_,did you enable the partner repo to install?
[07:23] <Senjai[coding]> I don't know about mozilla, I usechrome, flash only crashes occasionaly
[07:24] <Arney> costas: still got the unknown user error

[07:24] <icedtea> Prinler: why are you so against using wireshark? Its been very helpful for diagnosing strange network or os problems with me before
[07:24] <alex_> i installed the openJDK stuff
[07:24] <alex_> it says "no Java detected" still

[07:30] <costas> Arney, did you try adding to the kernel the lines?
[07:30] <Prinler> ok im in ssh no issues
[07:30] <Arney> costas: yes to no avail... im not on an ide drive
[07:30] <Prinler> In winscp
[07:30] <icedtea> researcher1: here's a simpler explanation: http://www.ehow.com/how_2251661_edit-grub-menu-ubuntu.html
[07:31] <costas> you're going for a dual boot windows and ubuntu right?
[07:31] <amit> i want to make snaps in a slide way and want to add background songs which s/w should i to use?
[07:31] <costas> you could install from windows as well...

[07:32] <uxingjie> hello
[07:32] <Frenk> Hello, when I do "sudo apt-get upgrade" there are some packages, which "have been kept back" - how to fix that?
[07:33] <costas> Frenk, do a "sudo apt-get clean"
[07:33] <amit> ????
[07:33] <costas> then "sudo apt-get update", then the "sudo apt-get upgrade"
[07:33] <Frenk> contas: still the same
[07:33] <Prinler> Well, i guess it doesnt like the nvidia nic. I have a Dlink i will try later... Now my next issue. I installed a new video card so it would support HDMI. I now have it hooked to my big screen tv. I have installed XBMC and would like to now run it on my TV. Can anyone help me configure this?
[07:33] <Prinler> Please :)
[07:34] <alex_> cool.  "No Java detected" after trying 2 different ways of installing Java

[07:41] <alienbox> i just did a fresh install of 10.04 on a homebuilt machine that also runs windows xp, and in the windows session i get 20+mbps down from speedtest net, but when i try it in ubuntu i get like 1.5mbps down, is there something i need to edit in my network settings
[07:41] <bazhang> alex_,and what does about:plugins say
[07:41] <Gryllida> alienbox: you have to install java while firefox is closed
[07:42] <Gryllida> elricL: ^
[07:42] <Gryllida> crap
[07:42] <Gryllida> alex_: ^
[07:42] <bazhang> Gryllida,you mean alex_

[07:42] <elricL> ha ha
[07:42] <alex_> oh ok. restarting a 3rd time did it.

[07:42] <alex_> i was beginning to think the Flash full screen hack
[07:42] <Gryllida> alex_: awesome
[07:42] <alex_> was causing trouble
[07:42] <bazhang> alex_,it works?
[07:42] <alex_> yes
[07:43] <alienbox> but i use opera
[07:44] <Tanvir> bazhang, can you help me on that?
[07:44] <Prinler> Ok, i set it as twin view and it just stretches the screen over both monitors... :(
[07:44] <Gryllida> alienbox: sorry! I just failed at tab completion this time
[07:44] <amit> costas: is there any single command to add more than one user at a time or group?
[07:44] <Prinler> The other option is seperate x window... having to reboot now
[07:45] <alienbox> infact my upload speed is faster than my download speed, never seen anything like it
[07:45] <amit> bazhang:is there any single command to add more than one user at a time or group?
[07:45] <k1rk> alienbox: that happens to me all the time because of network congestion at my ISP.  Rofl.
[07:46] <alienbox> yes, but i can go into windows, and test at speedtest.net and it gets 20mbps down, and 3.1 up
[07:47] <Prinler> Shoot! I rebooted and now the xserver has crashed. Is there like a safe mode i can fix this with?
[07:47] <alienbox> in ubuntu i'm getting 1.5 down and 2.7 or so up
[07:47] <nagel182> hello I need help with LAMP-server. two days ago I installed it with imagick and with the rewrite apache mod. Yesterday I installed two other apache mod and xdebug Now imagick and mod rewrite refuses to work in one of my /var/www folder

[07:52] <shadghost> I have two diffrent files filed with 2k+ lines of hash space file location, (so like 5adf5awe6f4awe65f4aw ./tmpfold/expamplefile) and i am comparing the two with diff, so i want the full line in what changed, like -y but with out all the extra lines of what was not changed
[07:52] <rand_u> i need to recompile the virtualbox-ose kernel modules for my kernel so i can use host only networking. i don't have the purl edition.  how do i do this?
[07:52] <freepenguin0> since yesterday if I lock the screen and then i try to unlock it inserting the password the screen remains locked although the password is correct
[07:52] <freepenguin0> why?^
[07:54] <freepenguin0> P
[07:54] <freepenguin0> ?
[07:54] <icedtea> rand_u: the simplest way would be to use ubuntu's virtualbox, that should include all the modules you need
[07:54] <costas> is now eating...........
[07:55] <rand_u> icedtea: i must be missing something... apt-get install virtualbox-ose should be ubuntu's version
[07:56] <nagel182> hello I need help with LAMP-server. two days ago I installed it with imagick and with the rewrite apache mod. Yesterday I installed two other apache mod and xdebug Now imagick and mod rewrite refuses to work in one of my /var/www folder
[07:57] <icedtea> rand_u: did you download the virtualbox-ose-dkms package too?
[07:57] <alienbox> this is really freaking me out, i have a laptop next to me using 10.10 and a windows laptop on win7, my sons computer in the other room, and my droidx here, all testing on speedtest.net getting atleast 15 to 20mbps, however this machine i just built with 10.04 on it gets 1.5mbps down, but if i got into windows it gets like close to 20mpbs, it makes no since to me, but i googled and others have had same problem, anyone know of the sol
[07:57] <rand_u> icedtea yes
[07:57] <icedtea> rand_u: I could have sworn ubuntu did all this work for me , but I am not 100% positive
[07:57] <Prinler> xserver failed - no screens found
[07:57] <Skater> Hi I am running 10.10 and at one stage I could see my external drive. On my mac I am able to see it by connecting to smb://...... but I can't see it on 10.10. Any suggestions?
[07:57] <rand_u> icedtea: it probably did. i upgraded the kernel though.
[07:58] <UbuN2> best to use virtualbox deb package
[07:58] <UbuN2> from there site
[07:58] <alex_> hrm
[07:58] <rand_u> i can't use the non-free version
[07:58] <UbuN2> its more up to date
[07:58] <alex_> does the repository have a windows 7 professional iso somewhere :p
[07:58] <alex_> i have the key..
[07:59] <andycc> alex_, probably not if you're talking about what I think you're talking.
[07:59] <alex_> what is that?
[07:59] <UbuN2> rand_u,  its just click and install
[07:59] <Prinler> installing windows?
[07:59] <alex_> yes prinler. i lost the professional DVD
[07:59] <bazhang> alex_, of course not. Piracy is off topic on freenode
[07:59] <alex_> all i have are oem stuff
[07:59] <rand_u> UbuN2 not because i can't click...
[07:59] <alex_> i'm not pirating anything
[07:59] <andycc> alex_, did you just ask if the *Ubuntu* repositories contain a *Windows* ISO?
[07:59] <alex_> i got the actual key from MSDNAA Elms
[07:59] <alex_> it was a joke
[07:59] <bazhang> alex_, nonetheless stop asking
[08:00] <UbuN2> something wrong with ur mouse rand_u ?
[08:00] <nagel182> hello I need help with LAMP-server. two days ago I installed it with imagick and with the rewrite apache mod. Yesterday I installed two other apache mod and xdebug Now imagick and mod rewrite refuses to work in one of my /var/www folder
[08:00] <alex_> but yea i have to find the image that's not oem
[08:00] <Abinadi> I have windows vista 64 bit ultimate and it works fine in a VirtulaBox
[08:00] <rand_u> alex_ it does contain windows xserver-xorg
[08:00] <icedtea> rand_u: I'm doing some research give me a second
[08:01] <alex_> heh all i have is oem and i have an upgrade key for windows 7 but it won't install so i'll just ask my coworker for a windows 7 professional iso on tuesday
[08:01] <rand_u> UbuN2 is that suppose to be funny? i just stated why i can't use it.
[08:01] <rand_u> icedtea: thanks
[08:01] <UbuN2> nope
[08:01] <nagel182> hello I need help with LAMP-server. two days ago I installed it with imagick and with the rewrite apache mod. Yesterday I installed two other apache mod and xdebug Now imagick and mod rewrite refuses to work in one of my /var/www folder
[08:02] <icedtea> nagel182: are you a bot or a human being?
[08:02] <sgtmattbaker> I connected to a website by accident that looks like it has been hacked. I wasnt trying to sign in to another one or anything. Could anything have happened?
[08:02] <rand_u> UbuN2: ok, i can't use that particular version because it doesn't have the source code available to it. it's is "non-free".
[08:02] <nagel182> human.
[08:02] <nagel182> i'm just desperate
[08:02] <poqw> google?
[08:02] <alex_> sgtmattbaker, they could've phished ur user name and password
[08:02] <sgtmattbaker> I said I didnt enter anything
[08:02] <UbuN2> strange
[08:02] <sgtmattbaker> the website just popped up
[08:02] <costas> nagel182, is a copy paste humanoid? know about sources building etc?
[08:03] <Abinadi> sgtmattbaker: I doubt it if you logged in while you were in ubuntu
[08:03] <nagel182> yes I copy pase becouse I'm on 6 channels and no one answers me nor react...
[08:03] <mylisto> hey folks
[08:03] <sirsargento> Does anybody have an idea why in the 'computer' folder when i goto the properties of my dvd drive and filesystem it has no information and says the location is computer:/// ?
[08:03] <alex_> sgtmattbaker, u could've been cross-site scripted
[08:03] <mylisto> for some reason my sound cuts out once in a while...
[08:04] <alex_> if you were logged into some other site
[08:04] <mylisto> are there any ways to find out why?
[08:04] <alienbox> is ipv6 method suppose to be set to ignore in network connections, in ubuntu 10.04?
[08:04] <nagel182> so someone could say what the hel is wrong with my server?
[08:05] <andycc> alienbox, I believe you get a separate tab for v6 settings, and by default they're disabled.
[08:05] <Abinadi> !details | nagel182
[08:05] <andycc> alienbox, do you have net speed problems?
[08:05] <poqw> nagel182: thats because "refuses to work" is too vague
[08:05] <alienbox> only in ubuntu 10.04
[08:06] <andycc> alienbox, tried changing DNS servers?
[08:06] <alienbox> on this same machine i can go into windows and get fast speed results
[08:06] <alienbox> i'm behind a router on all the machines
[08:07] <alienbox> it's on dhcp auto assign by isp, i even tried changing those to googles <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> and got same results
[08:07] <ugmg> hi, how can i remove apt-get of my system
[08:07] <Abinadi> alienbox: are you using Firefox?
[08:07] <rww> ugmg: You want to get rid of apt-get?
[08:07] <icedtea> rand_u: did you try dpkg-reconfigure and the package name?
[08:08] <alienbox> i am at the moment, but i just tested in opera and got near same results
[08:08] <ugmg> yes from ubuntu  server
[08:08] <andycc> ugmg: why in the world would you want to remove apt-get?
[08:08] <rand_u> icedtea: yea- was one of the first things i tried. also tried purge / reinstall and it didn't work either.
[08:08] <ugmg> wrong installation
[08:08] <rww> what
[08:08] <Abinadi> alienbox: go to about:config in firefox and disable IPv6
[08:09] <ugmg> i like to reinstall apt-get package
[08:09] <sgtmattbaker> alex_ what do you mean? I clicked on a web link, and the site came up and it said it had been hacked by some group
[08:09] <mylisto> I'm trying to find out why my sound cuts out once in a while...
[08:09] <mylisto> are there any terminal commands to find out why?
[08:09] <ugmg> andycc,
[08:09] <alienbox> Abinadi, like network.dns.disableIPv6 = true or something
[08:10] <Abinadi> alienbox: yes
[08:10] <ugmg> any help with apt-get removing
[08:10] <ugmg> any one know how to do it
[08:11] <icedtea> rand_u: from the site: Note: Ubuntu/Debian users might want to install the dkms package to ensure that the VirtualBox host kernel modules (vboxdrv, vboxnetflt and vboxnetadp) are properly updated if the linux kernel version changes during the next apt-get upgrade. For Debian it is available in Lenny backports and in the normal repository for Squeeze and later. The dkms package can be installed through the Synaptic Package manage
[08:11] <icedtea> r or through the following command: sudo apt-get install dkms
[08:11] <Abinadi> alienbox: there is a website that has about 20 tweaks for firefox, but Im in windows right now.  give me a few minutes and I'll tell you what it is.
[08:11] <andycc> mylisto, take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[08:11] <icedtea> rand_u: did you compile your own kernel or just apt-get'd a new one?
[08:12] <rand_u> icedtea: i apt-get install 2.6.35-12-generic
[08:12] <rand_u> linux-image of course
[08:12] <icedtea> rand_u: do you have the dkms package installed too?
[08:13] <ugmg> any suggestion of how can i get rid of apt-get package
[08:13] <mylisto> damn andycc: thats a lot of reading :(
[08:13] <mylisto> is there any terminal command to find out what sound system i have running?
[08:13] <icedtea> mylisto: you mean what sound card you are using?
[08:13] <nagel182> Okay. I have ubuntu 10.10. I installed apache2 Php mysql and phpmyadmin through the package handler. it worked after that I instaled Imagemagick , and imagick for PHP. than I installed mod_rewrite for appache2. I created a folder in /var/www/ called shimmie. I copied there my codes and  after setting up htaccess it worked fine.  url rewrite worked. thumbnails with imagick appeared along with normal images. Yesterday  I got another webpage
[08:13] <nagel182>  project. but it required apache mod_ expires and mod_headers and installed it. And installed Xdebug for PHP.  after this I put  the  webpage to another /var/www/ folder called fashion. Now in fashion everything works as its needs to: url rewrite , expires.. everything. But now my original folder shimmi, doesnt works: no url rewrite, no imagick thumbnails nor the original image shows up.
[08:13] <andycc> mylisto, you're probably using ALSA, except if you manually configured OSS.
[08:14] <rand_u> icedtea: i'm not sure what you mean. i do have virtualbox-ose-dkms installed
[08:14] <toloykhan> hello I need to add a file to init.d directory but it did not work when i copy it from /usr/bin to init.d what should I do to make my file work on start up
[08:14] <rand_u> icedtea: i just noticed i don't have the headers installed for the running kernel
[08:14] <rand_u> icedtea: maybe that will solve the issue if i install them and purge and then reinstall
[08:15] <andycc> mylisto, reading that is way better than reading manpages. At least you get documentation!
[08:15] <nagel182> now someone can help me?
[08:15] <rand_u> icedtea: i think it has to compile it for the kernel. i don't think it just has them when you install the dkms package.
[08:16] <rand_u> icedtea: i have build-essential installed too
[08:16] <andycc> nagel182, in the meantime, you may want to post that to the ubuntu forums.
[08:17] <ugmg> h o w   can i r e m o v e   apt-get package
[08:17] <ugmg> helppppppppppppppppppppppppp
[08:17] <k1rk> nagel182: sounds like it might be file permissions issues if you didn't remove those packages\extensions.
[08:17] <debuntu> try synaptic package manager
[08:17] <k1rk> nagel182: can you access anything in the folder at all?
[08:17] <amit> i subuntu studio an OS?
[08:18] <amit> sorry ubuntu studio
[08:18] <andycc> ugmg, dpkg -r apt-get, probably.
[08:18] <amit> !ubuntu studio
[08:18] <rand_u> icedtea: you know what. it looks like i can use the virtualbox.org repository. they got rid of the non-free edition.
[08:18] <nagel182> yes i can. the owner is ww-root and everyone can read write it
[08:18] <jayvan> i need help, did someone manage to play the log out sound in Lucid?
[08:18] <toloykhan> hello I need to add a file to init.d directory but it did not work when i copy it from /usr/bin to init.d what should I do to make my file work on start up
[08:18] <rand_u> icedtea: that might work. i don't know if /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup is in that or not... it wasn't with the older gpl edition
[08:19] <Senjai> Is there any significance to the init.d directory? I know apache runs in it, but is it a system path or something?
[08:19] <pretendo> etendo> getting lua5.1 missing but ive installed it
[08:19] <pretendo>  No package 'lua5.1' found
[08:20] <icedtea> rand_u: I'm not sure, but it works on my system, I just upgraded my distro though so I'm going to reboot and see if it works
[08:20] <icedtea> rand_u: brb
[08:20] <Abinadi> alienbox, here is the link:  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/speed-up-firefox-web-browser.html
[08:20] <nagel182> k1rk: yes i can. the owner is www-root. and everyone can read it and write it.
[08:21] <Arney> bazhang: How bad is the 64 bit version of ubuntu?
[08:22] <bazhang> Arney, not bad at all?
[08:22] <Arney> bazhang: since currently the i366 version has a corrupt filesystem.squashfs file and wont install into anything but a CD
[08:22] <Arney> bazhang: so I should install that instead? it seems to work boot perfectly into installation
[08:22] <bazhang> Arney, thats a corrupt iso, not something inherent in the ubuntu iso
[08:23] <Arney> bazhang: nope, redownloaded 3 times, its a corrupt ubuntu iso
[08:23] <Abinadi> Arney, I've been using the 64 bit version for some time now and it works fine
[08:23] <bazhang> Arney, better bet would be to use the alternate installer
[08:23] <Arney> bazhang: try extracting using 7zip, see what i mean
[08:23] <bazhang> Arney, oh wait this is for unetbootin
[08:23] <Senjai> Hey guys, when I load Ubuntu, I see my windows harddrive under Places, and have to click on the hard drive to mount the files and be able to view them. Question is: how can I do this via the command line?
[08:23] <alex_> Why are open source proponents so defensive when you point out that documentation is lacking?
[08:23] <chasr>     /msg nickserv set hidemail on
[08:24] <greppy> !ot | alex_
[08:24] <bazhang> alex_, #ubuntu-offtopic please
[08:24] <alex_> i go to hadoop and say "there's something wrong witht he docs" and soon the conversation quickly changes to "if you dont' like it, don't use it"
[08:24] <Arney> bazhang: if you do it with something else, compare the size its suppsed to be, with the size it is
[08:24] <trijntje> Senjai, with the  command mount, see man mount
[08:25] <trijntje> or you can let it mount automatically
[08:25] <jrgill> i want a raw edid.  how can i get it?
[08:25] <anak_kos> #surabaya
[08:26] <toloykhan>  hello I have a problem with adding a file with +x privilege to init.d directory but when I copy it from /usr/bin to init.d it did not work on startup i use ubuntu 10.04
[08:29] <Senjai> trijntje, I looked at the ma command
[08:30] <Senjai> trijntje, but i don't know where my Windows harddrive is located
[08:30] <Arney> whats bad about the netbook edition?
[08:31] <simon__> #ubuntu-cn
[08:31] <sgtmattbaker> does anyone in here know about ubuntu sound issues? My sound with a soundblaster audigy 4 didnt work out of the box (10.10)
[08:31] <Senjai> simon__, /join #ubuntu-cn might be what your looking for
[08:32] <rand_u> Senjai: it might be in the trash
[08:32] <Senjai> rand_u, is that a joke? I can't tell
[08:33] <Jordan_U> Arney: My guess is that your flash drive is going bad.
[08:33] <toloykhan> hello I need to put a file with +x privilege in init.d directory but it did not work when i copy it form /usr/bin to init.d i use ubuntu 10.04
[08:33] <rand_u> Senjai: yes
[08:33] <icedtea> rand_u: hrm looks like it didn't work for me either. I just upgraded to 11.whatever and its complaining about needing the drivers recompiled
[08:34] <Arney> Jordan_U: I am having problems handling the filesystem.squashfs file on windows!
[08:34] <Jordan_U> Arney: What do you mean by "handling"? What type of problems?
[08:35] <rand_u> icedtea: i'm trying virtualbox-4 from oracle's virtualbox.org site. they divided the free and non-free parts now so that the non-free is an extension. that's awesome cause now hopefully it'll get upgraded as updates become available. although i don't know if that will happen for sure. it would probably depend on how they have it in the repository.
[08:35] <Arney> you could say that all 3 i386 iso's were bad, that 7-zip and winrar are both wrong about the error on the file. But is that reasonable
[08:35] <Arney> Jordan_U: I cant copy the file out of the mounted cd image on windows
[08:36] <icedtea> rand_u: think I will too
[08:36] <Arney> Jordan_U: the netbook and 64 bit versions dont have that problem
[08:36] <sgtmattbaker> I have a soundblaster audigy 4. The sound doesnt not work out of the box with Ubuntu 10.10
[08:37] <Jordan_U> Arney: What is the md5sum of the iso?
[08:37] <Arney> Jordan_U: It could be a cache on my university internet thats messing up
[08:37] <sgtmattbaker> It also doesnt work for GF104 HDMI audio from a GTX 460.
[08:37] <Arney> Jordan_U: let me get that
[08:37] <^Phantom^> well no more fretting about what distro and flavor for my laptop guys.
[08:37] <intok> is there a build of 10.10 that will run on a Mac G4?
[08:37] <^Phantom^> I bought the new ram
[08:37] <^Phantom^> ^_^
[08:38] <Jordan_U> intok: There is a community supported PPC port of Ubuntu which should work.
[08:38] <Jordan_U> !ppc | intok
[08:38] <sgtmattbaker> Macs are x86, just like PCs
[08:38] <sgtmattbaker> I dont see why regular ubuntu wouldnt work
[08:38] <Jordan_U> sgtmattbaker: Not G4s.
[08:38] <sgtmattbaker> ooooooh
[08:39] <sgtmattbaker> G4s
[08:39] <sgtmattbaker> nevermind
[08:39] <sgtmattbaker> well, yep, PPC is what ya need

[08:40] <tuttincoro> Hi. Is there an app similar to reconstructor? I tried the official homepage but they're asking for money
[08:40] <jayvan> does anybody know how to enable Trash and log out sound in lucid? please? : )
[08:41] <intok> Great, since Debian Squeeze has not been kind to this old box
[08:42] <Jordan_U> Arney: That md5sum produced no results from google. Which is a pretty sure sign that it's corrupted somehow, and that you are one of very few (more likely the only one) with this particular corrupt iso.
[08:42] <bazhang> tuttincoro, ubuntu customization kit? remastersys? not sure what reconstructor does, sorry
[08:42] <kutchbhi1> i had dualboot xp and ubuntu , i created a new partition in windows) and got an error upon reboot. was this because of adding a new partition in windows?
[08:42] <Arney> Jordan_U: My hash is wrong... Ill have to blame it on my university
[08:42] <ljsoftnet> what a good laptop battery panel? aside from indicator applet
[08:42] <ljsoftnet> what a good laptop battery applet? aside from indicator applet
[08:42] <Arney> Jordan_U: ill try an ftp download
[08:43] <ohsix> what's a good one besides the good one? D:
[08:43] <tuttincoro> kutchbhi1: yes
[08:43] <tuttincoro> kutchbhi1: ext partitions don't play nicely with ntfs
[08:43] <Sam_Fisher> I need to make a file named PMS.sh into a nice desktop launcher. It will work the day I make it then stop working. Perhaps after a reboot or something.
[08:43] <kutchbhi1> tuttincoro: ok thanks
[08:43] <rand_u> Arney: never get educated. you only get stupider.
[08:43] <tuttincoro> kutchbhi1: if you want to dualboot windows and linux, rather use wubi
gkrellm
[08:44] <Jordan_U> kutchbhi1: What error? Adding a partition in Windows should not cause any problems in and of itself.
[08:44] <Arney> does anyone have an ftp link to ubuntu
[08:45] <Arney> its mighty hard to find on google
[08:45] <jayvan> Tuttincoro, wubi is not as good as the real thing. If you want to dual boot install window first then Ubuntu. best option for me.
[08:45] <ljsoftnet> insmod: im looling for a gnome applet
[08:45] <tuttincoro> Jordan_U: I've had the same problem when attempting to mix ntfs and ext partitions on the same drive
[08:45] <Jordan_U> tuttincoro: That problem being?
[08:45] <tuttincoro> Jordan_U: the nfts is unbootable
why just gnome?
[08:47] <Jordan_U> tuttincoro: That is not what tuttincoro is describing. At least it does not appear to be.
[08:47] <Abinadi> I'm using
[08:47] <ljsoftnet> insmod it takes too much space, i just wanted to have a simple battery applet
[08:47] <Sam_Fisher> I need to make a file named PMS.sh into a nice desktop launcher. how can i keep it working after reboot? seems it requires password to use again
[08:47] <Jordan_U> tuttincoro: What *kutchbhi1 was describing.
only if after the fact or depending on drive lettering
[08:48] <tuttincoro> Jordan_U: hmmm, okay, he needs to clarify then
[08:48] <Arney> nvm, i found one by url hacking ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/maverick/
[08:48] <tuttincoro> insmod: after the fact. Ran the ubuntu install, resized the partitions there, tried to boot into windows later and couldn't
[08:49] <Arney> google is absolutely terrible at finding ftp sites
[08:49] <Abinadi> I'm using windows vista 64 ultimate in a virtualbox.  I currently have no sound, even though I installed the right codec (it tells me that I have no device installed)  I have sound in maverick.  any ideas on how to get windows to use my sound card in while I have the virtualbox running?
[08:49] <tuttincoro> Arney: try duckduckgo
[08:49] <tuttincoro> Arney: far better than google imho
you both have a drive lettering prob
[08:50] <tuttincoro> insmod: no; I later put the drive in two other PCs, one running windows and the other running ubuntu, and neither could see the ntfs partition
[08:50] <przemasu> witam/hi
[08:50] <tuttincoro> insmod: it was "active"
[08:51] <Sam_Fisher> How do I make a desktop launcher out of a file named PMS.sh?
 then the partition was damaged because you did not defrag
[08:52] <Senjai> How come when I save something to my mounted Windows Partition, it doesn't show up when I load Windows :(
[08:52] <Senjai> Save from ubuntu..
[08:52] <tuttincoro> insmod: nope, I defragged right before I did the install, even used jk
[08:52] <Abinadi> tuttincoro, I have two NTFS partitions on two different HDD and I can see one but not the other.  go figure
 all i can think is the partition name changed
[08:53] <tuttincoro> insmod: the Linux formating and disk reading gets wonky sometimes
[08:53] <tuttincoro> It's not hard to accept
 never
[08:53] <tuttincoro> haha, yeah right
you just don't know what you are doing
[08:54] <tuttincoro> uh huh
[08:54] <tuttincoro> but if it was windows that busted the partition, you'd totally blame microsoft, amirite?
no - i have never used it .. so i can not comment on it -- however my brother tells me he likes 7
[08:55] <tuttincoro> I bet
linux and bsd solaris since 1995 university -- i did have windows 3.1 for 6 months
[08:57] <przemasu> I've got a problem. I'm using Ubuntu with TV. My screen in turning off after 10 minutes. How to set Ubuntu to not turning off TV screen? I tried in gconf-editor and power management. I'm using SAMSUNG CRT TV and computer is connected by s-video. I tried to check BIOS, but there options are OK Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Poland

[08:59] <fixman> hello. i have problem. http://img703.imageshack.us/i/snapshot1rx.png/ ant the bottom of the screenshot the panel is soooooooooooo small that i can't really use it. how can i expend it?
click it then a dialog comes up to resize
[09:01] <Sam_Fisher> fixman, I guess you tried bodybuilding and that didn't make it bigger?
[09:02] <Abinadi> maybe some of you linux gurus can tell me this....I've got pulseaudio installed on maverick and it works fine.  i've got windows vista 64 bit installed in a virtualbox.  Control panel in windows tells me that my audio device is working and installed correctly.  However, I cannot get sound out of the virtual box.  any hints?
[09:02] <ikonia> Sam_Fisher: please don't offer silly advice
killall -9  puseaudio
killall -9  pulseaudio
[09:02] <fixman> not fonney, samfisher. insmod, thanks
that is how
[09:03] <Abinadi> insmod, ok I'll try that, but just in case, how do I get pulseadio working again if it doesn't work?
[09:04] <abhinav_singh> i am getting this error when I am upgrading to 10.10 from 10.04 please help me how to fix it ...http://pastebin.com/3F0hJtW2
[09:04] <Sam_Fisher> okay I will stop looking for the answer for fixman.  best of luck
[09:04] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: how are you upgradeing to 10.10
[09:05] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: that doesn't look like a 10.10 upgrade
type pulseadio or use an app that uses it and it will reload
[09:05] <abhinav_singh> ikonia from update manager
[09:05] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: how are you launching it ?
[09:05] <Abinadi> insmod, thanks
cheers

[09:11] <Or|g|nalP|xel> I have a compaq laptop, 2009 model presario (not exactly sure, too lazy to check model) but it will power down after 15 minutes of being on, i believe it to be overheating issue, i replaced CPU fan in the laptop and it resolved the problem temporarily, few months later it started happening again, what possible causes if cpu fan is working?
 apt-get autoremove && apt-get clean && apt-get  dist-upgrade
[09:11] <nagel182> can I talk to someone who is experiencedwith apache2 and PHP?
) did it go
[09:11] <ikonia> insmod: stop
[09:12] <ikonia> insmod: he has 3rd party repos in that
[09:12] <abhinav_singh> what will apt-get autoremove do insmod?
[09:12] <Abinadi> insmod, restarting the vm now
[09:12] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: ok, good news is it seemed happy to get the latest index files, bad news is you have 3rd party repos in there, the upgrade instructions suggest removing them first
[09:12] <lalla> encoutered with missing operating system problem...how do i go about it?
[09:12] <researcher1> what can be done so that user names dont appear on welcome screen
anything that is wrong
[09:12] <ikonia> researcher1: set the username to ""
[09:13] <abhinav_singh> okay ikonia :)
[09:13] <researcher1> ikonia: can u tell command if username  is student1
[09:13] <ikonia> researcher1: just set his name to " " in the useradmin gui
[09:14] <abhinav_singh> so should I run apt-get autoremove ikonia ?
[09:14] <Abinadi> insmod, nope didn't work
[09:14] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: not yet, remove the 3rd party repos first
[09:14] <researcher1> ikonia: i want to work in command line
[09:14] <ikonia> researcher1: look at "usermod" then
[09:14] <Or|g|nalP|xel> why is xchat free on linux but paid for windows?
[09:14] <insmod> man adduser |grep remove
[09:14] <ikonia> Or|g|nalP|xel: ask them
[09:14] <Sirion> hello i'm running jaunty. I have 9 ntfs partitions on my harddrives. I usually mount them with the graphical interface for gnome mount (locations --> removable media)
[09:14] <abhinav_singh> how to find which third party repos i have to remove? ikonia..
[09:14] <Abinadi> xchat-2 is free on windows too
[09:14] <Or|g|nalP|xel> ikonia: i thought you were the all knowing god of software :D
[09:14] <brontoeee> Or|g|nalP|xel, you can find 3rd party compiles that are free
hmm then the vm is oss not alsa -- you should check
[09:15] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: well, all your repos are official ubuntu ones, apart from getdeb, so just remove get deb
[09:15] <Abinadi> insmod, ok, I'll check
[09:15] <Sirion> but now they seem to automatically unmount if e.g amarok finishes a playlist
[09:15] <researcher1> how can I add many users in a short command ?
[09:15] <ikonia> researcher1: use a shell script
[09:16] <Fox> hellpo
[09:16] <researcher1> ikonia: which one plz
[09:16] <Fox> ikonia
[09:16] <ikonia> researcher1: there ins't a script, you need to write one
[09:16] <ikonia> Fox: yes ?
[09:16] <Sirion> i checked the partiton with chkdsk -- no problems found
[09:17] <researcher1> ikonia: ok Im newbie. Any way for me
[09:17] <abhinav_singh> where to find that ikonia.. sorry I am new to Ubuntu so i need your help..here is full result of apt-get update http://pastebin.com/nbPtZ5zt
[09:17] <ikonia> researcher1: no, you'd need to write a shell script, or type the command each time
[09:17] <barra_> ih
[09:17] <test> hey, what programming/scripting language should i learn for Linux GUI programming?
[09:17] <uxingjie> how t o install stardic  dics?
[09:17] <barra_> www.ubuntu.com
 apt-get autoremove && apt-get clean && apt-get  dist-upgrade
[09:18] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: you have lots of 3rd party respos, google, get deb etc
[09:18] <barra_> http://www.ubuntu.com
[09:18] <ikonia> insmod: stop he has 3rd party repos enable,
so
[09:18] <ikonia> insmod: so they cause conflict
nope
[09:18] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: you also have lots of PPA's enabled, you'd need to remove them
[09:18] <lalla> livecd not showing display
[09:18] <test> what programming/scripting language should i learn for Linux GUI programming?
[09:18] <SmellySock> hello
you are the devel
[09:19] <soreau> test: gtk or qt
[09:19] <ikonia> insmod: really, so you know for a fact that the repos he has enable cause no conflict with the core ubuntu packages
[09:19] <abhinav_singh> Can you please tell me where and how to remove them ikonia
[09:19] <test> qt isn't a programming language?
[09:19] <test> or is it?
[09:19] <SmellySock> anyone here wants pie?
[09:19] <soreau> test: its a toolkit
[09:19] <Jordan_U> !ot | SmellySock
[09:19] <ikonia> SmellySock: stop please, this is a support channel for ubuntu
[09:19] <Abinadi> insmod, should I tell it to use the Intel HD Audio, ACH AC97, or the soundblaster 16?
[09:19] <SmellySock> ok
[09:20] <SmellySock> sorry
[09:20] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: I would remove all the 3rd party repos, google/getdeb/PPA's etc, then re-run apt-update and make sure they are gone
[09:20] <test> should i use python with gtk or C++ or something else?
yes if he updates they pose no probs -- the 3rd party may have to be reinstalled -- but the ubuntu upgrade will work
[09:20] <maco> test: python with c++ wouldnt make whole lot of sense...
[09:20] <ikonia> insmod: so you know for a fact those repos cause no conflict with ubuntu's core packages ?
 depends if you use alsa or oss
[09:21] <soreau> test: There is py-gtk and you can use C or C++
[09:21] <Jordan_U> abhinav_singh: More to the point you probably want to remove any packages that you have installed from those 3rd party repositories. ppa-purge is a nice script that can do this, I believe you can also find such packages with Ubuntu Software Center.
[09:21] <maco> soreau: if it's pygtk you're by definition using python
[09:21] <abhinav_singh> yup ikonia..thats what I am asking..where to find 3rd party repos?
[09:21] <Abinadi> insmod, I don't think I'm using anything now that I've killed pulseaudio, am I?
[09:21] <maco> test: for gtk you can use pygtk (python), normal gtk (c), or gtkmm (c++)
it can not because it over writes the files -- so if there is an error he just reinstalls 3rd party
[09:21] <soreau> maco: Sure but you can still do gtk gui programming with it, yes?
[09:21] <thedood_> hey
[09:21] <ikonia> abhinav_singh: ahh, I see, well Jordan_U's just offered a good option
[09:21] <thedood_> im kenapa
[09:22] <maco> test: for qt you can use pyqt (python) or normal qt (c++)
[09:22] <thedood_> why was i banned?
not ubuntu
[09:22] <ikonia> insmod: no, it won't run the upgrade because the files are conflicting
[09:22] <maco> test: gtkmm is pretty rarely used
[09:22] <thedood_> HEY
[09:22] <abhinav_singh> okay ikonia Jordan_U
[09:22] <test> i can code in C++ and a little bit of python
[09:22] <thedood_> HEY
[09:22] <Jordan_U> thedood_: Please join #ubuntu-ops to discuss bans.
