[09:09] <mneptok> Juniksz: what version of Windows?
[09:09] <Juniksz> mneptok: Win7
[09:09] <Xgates> ok I guess I found it for ufw I take the only place logging is at is in /lib/ufw/user.rules? ----> http://pastebin.com/vDauLSMQ  I want to change the  -j LOG  so I can have it log to another file and I want to make sure there are no other log options anywhere, anyone know?
[09:11] <Guest84248> dpkg: error processing pidgin-ppa (--configure):
[09:11] <Guest84248>  subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1[09:11] <Juniksz> mneptok: no idea?
[09:11] <mneptok> Juniksz: the only driver i know of is compatible up to Vista. not Win7.
[09:12] <Juniksz> mneptok: which application is that?
[09:13] <Guest84248> i've try to install pidgin

[09:13] <the_file> Does anybody play first person shooter games in wine?.
[09:13] <the_file> on ubuntu distro?.
[09:14] <the_file> if so can you tell me if u have low fps due to wine
[09:14] <Jordan_U> Juniksz: colinux will allow you to run a linux kernel, and thus any linux file system, within windows (and it's not using a virtual machine)
[09:14] <the_file> or does the graphic card allow for descent performace
[09:14] <wildbat> the_file, i heard it work quite good ~ check with #winhq
[09:15] <kohlrak> anyone know how i can get a program to startup at bootup without logging in?
[09:15] <Daijoubu> how to update from Kubuntu 10.04 to Maverik?
[09:16] <mneptok> Daijoubu: please ask in #ubuntu+1
[09:16] <Daijoubu> no one is there
[09:16] <Daijoubu> it's dead everywhere O_O
[09:16] <Juniksz> Jordan_U: The colinux is a software for WIn?
[09:16] <mneptok> Daijoubu: it's still not an appropriate question for this channel. we do not use, support, or encourage use of non-released versions.
[09:16] <Jordan_U> Juniksz: Yes, http://www.colinux.org/
[09:16] <SiDi> Hi, I'm looking for the name of the app/package used to configure proxys in Ubuntu, does anyone know it?
[09:17] <Daijoubu> :(
[09:17] <SiDi> Also, my nm-applet keeps disappearing upon boot, does anyone know how to solve that?
[09:18] <AdvoWork> i think ive got a problem with a mount, thats shared in my /home drive, if i go: cd /home and then ls it hangs, but also df -h hangs too, i know the dir exists, but doing cd /home/dir just does nothing, any suggestions please
[09:18] <Juniksz> Jordan_U: Thank you, i'll try it
[09:19] <Jordan_U> Juniksz: You're welcome.
[09:19] <ylmfos> thank you
[09:19] <ylmfos> where are you?
[09:20] <SiDi> !proxy
[09:20] <ylmfos> proxy? what's mean?
[09:21] <wildbat> is there any memory hacking/editing tools for game hacking like cheat engine in win?
[09:21] <SiDi> Nothing, just checking if ubottu can help me, but it can't
[09:21] <SiDi> Does anyone know the name of the application under Apps -> Preferences -> Proxy/Network (whatever it's called?). I'm not on GNOME and i need this app, and i can't seem to find it...
[09:21] <anirvana> I am getting a terrible error :( "Kernel :panic-not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block[8,5]" Please help!
[09:22] <AdvoWork> my /etc/fstab shows: INTERNALIP:/mnt/Data/BACKUPS/   /home/new_backups   nfs   and i think thats the dir causing a prob, if i goto /home/new_backups it dies... yet if i goto the internal location, thats fine, whats the best thing to do, unmount and remount?
[09:22] <anirvana> I can't even start my ubuntu now!
[09:22] <wise_crypt> SiDi : please be more verbose about your question nm-aplet disapearing and then what ?
[09:22] <ylmfos> I am not suitable for LINUX
[09:22] <SiDi> wise_crypt: it doesn't disappear, it just never shows. nm-applet does run, the icon doesn't show
[09:23] <wise_crypt> SiDi : what desktop manager
[09:23] <SiDi> wise_crypt: seems to happen in fedora for a missing icon problem, or because of problems with policykit and NetworkManagerDispatcher, and i can't find anything else relevant
[09:23] <SiDi> wise_crypt: Xubuntu 10.04
[09:23] <wise_crypt> SiDi : try #xubuntu
[09:23] <SiDi> wise_crypt: i highly doubt it's linked to xfce though
[09:24] <ylmfos> WELL

[09:25] <AhmedBH> Hello, Why do i get notifications on evolution mail some times and some times not ? i even deleted the configuration folder and added everything again deleted panel and created new panel with applets still same, WHY ?
[09:25] <tliebeck> Any of you had much in the way of problems swapping a motherboard and keeping the same install?  10.04 here.  Reformat is not that big of a deal, I even keep /home on a separate partition so it's almost trivial.
[09:26] <ylmfos> How can I use the IE7?
[09:26] <damian> i think the real question is, why would you want to use IE7? :P
[09:26] <AhmedBH> ylmfos: under Wine ?
[09:26] <tliebeck> ylmfos
[09:26] <AhmedBH> damian: yeah :P
[09:26] <tliebeck> ylmfos: virtualbox ftw.
[09:26] <AhmedBH> tilebeck: OMG

[09:29] <wise_crypt> ylmfos: there is also addon for firefox to change your user agent
[09:30] <AdvoWork> AhmedBH, how do you mean?

[09:41] <aTurtle> This is rather a simple question.  How can I put Trash and $USER's home on the Desktop?
[09:41] <unop> aTurtle, shortcuts ?
[09:41] <unop> or whatever it is gnome uses
[09:42] <aTurtle> unop: Yes. I tried ln -s but that does not have the same effect as whatever Gnome had offered natively.
[09:42] <unop> aTurtle, so why not use what gnome offers natively?
[09:43] <ctmnz> hello all
[09:44] <ctmnz> Why ubuntu 64 bits is not recommended for daily usage ?
[09:44] <aTurtle> unop: Because I can't find it. Or I have been looking in wrong places.
[09:44] <aTurtle> ctmnz: That's just a poor recommendation on the website and the description phrase need to be changed immediately.
[09:45] <gothenburg> Good morning
[09:45] <gothenburg> aTurtle: ^^
[09:46] <unop> aTurtle, if i remember right, right click on the desktop, "create launcher" ... your launcher will be something like 'nautilus ~' (for the homedir) and 'nautilus ~/.local/share/Trash' (for Trash)
[09:46] <Inferus> does playonlinux really get photoshop cs4 and adobe dreamweaver cs4 all working?
[09:46] <gothenburg> ctmnz: because before the programs to 64 bit was..
[09:46] <aTurtle> ctmnz: I have 64bit on my laptop, my computer, my home theater media center.... and my mom's computer. They all worked fine.

[09:46] <gothenburg> :o
[09:47] <gothenburg> a5h15h: Which IRC-client are you using?
[09:47] <unop> wise_crypt, cut that out dude
[09:47] <unop> wise_crypt, if i need your help, i'll ask for it
[09:47] <wise_crypt> :)
[09:47] <pedronveloso> Hi! I've removed "something" from my top panel, and now I can't access that menu that shows "pidgin" and "brodcast" applications, how do I place it back?
[09:47] <a5h15h> gothenburg, 0.26.1
[09:47] <aTurtle> wise_crypt: if i need your help too, i'll ask for it. :)
[09:47] <gothenburg> a5h15h: xchat?
[09:48] <wildbat> is there any memory hacking/editing tools for like cheat engine in win?
[09:48] <a5h15h> gothenburg, holy....sorry...I meant xchat
[09:48] <Inferus> does playonlinux really get photoshop cs4 and adobe dreamweaver cs4 all working?
[09:48] <aTurtle> unop: That would work too, but what about the icon? Clearly this is a working method but it's not same. I'm trying to toggle back on "My Computer, chris's home, and Trash" -- If I found out how, I'll tell you.
[09:48] <gothenburg> ash2dust: IRC is the protocoll
[09:49] <unop> aTurtle, you can customize the icon too - it's somewhere in the launcher's properties
[09:49] <gothenburg> a5h15h: you should use synaptic (the program installer) to do this
[09:49] <a5h15h> gothenburg, I said sorry..
[09:49] <aTurtle> pedronveloso: The fast way is to reset your panels, I guess.  You can right-click and add indicator-something to the panel.
[09:49] <aTurtle> !resetpanels | pedronveloso
[09:49] <mustafa_> how to change/mange compiz effects on ubuntu 10.04? (i have already installed compiz).
[09:49] <a5h15h> gothenburg, would synaptic remove xchat 0.26
[09:50] <gothenburg> a5h15h: synaptic should upgrade all program
[09:50] <a5h15h> gothenburg, k
[09:50] <aTurtle> mustafa_: compizconfig-settings-manager
[09:50] <gothenburg> a5h15h: I am not a fan of synaptic and always use the terminal programs
[09:50] <aTurtle> unop: Yes. I acknowledge that -- It's not what I'm looking for. ;)
[09:50] <a5h15h> gothenburg, why is it so..
[09:50] <aTurtle> unop: What DE are you using?
[09:51] <wise_crypt> aTurtle: http://gnometux.blogspot.com/
[09:51] <pedronveloso> ubottu: thanks, that did the trick ;)
[09:51] <unop> aTurtle,  edit these gconf keys then  /apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible  and  /apps/nautilus/desktop/trash_icon_visible
[09:51] <gothenburg> a5h15h: because it is much faster to write it in the terminal than click on 200 checkboxes
[09:51] <pedronveloso> lol
[09:51] <a5h15h> gothenburg, then how does one do it with the terminal?
[09:51] <unop> aTurtle, I don't have a DE - I use fluxbox as the window manager and a few bits from gnome and a few from kde
[09:52] <gothenburg> a5h15h: to update the database write: sudo aptitude update
[09:52] <MrWise> how do I launch openbox? running an ubuntu server install, I've installed xorg and openbox
[09:52] <Xgates> anyone mess with ufw? I'm trying to change the user.rules for the logging as -j LOG to -j ULOG to log to a different file but when I do that ufw won't start
[09:52] <gothenburg> a5h15h: then write sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[09:52] <mustafa_> aTurtle,  thank you.
[09:53] <aTurtle> unop: Going Minimal. :)
[09:53] <gothenburg> a5h15h: and type y(es) if it asking
[09:53] <soreau> ! ccsm | mustafa_
[09:53] <aTurtle> unop, wise_crypt: Thank for the gconf info, I think that's what it is. I'm trying it now. ;O
[09:53] <gothenburg> MrWise: no GUI before?
[09:53] <wise_crypt> !info xdm > MrWise
[09:53] <wereHamster> how can I list all installed packages?
[09:53] <gothenburg> wise_crypt: xdm is överskattat
[09:54] <unop> aTurtle, gconftool --set /apps/nautilus/desktop/home_icon_visible true --type=bool
[09:54] <aTurtle> wise_crypt, unop: Yup! That was it! The correct method! :)
[09:54] <unop> wereHamster,  dpkg -l
[09:54] <a5h15h> gothenburg, k
[09:54] <wise_crypt> gothenburg: eh ? en please
[09:54] <wereHamster> unop: will that work even if I installed the pacakges with apt-get?
[09:55] <aTurtle> !clone | wereHamster
[09:55] <unop> wereHamster, apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, dselect all use dpkg to track dependencies - so yes
[09:55] <wereHamster> aTurtle: cool, thanks :)
[09:56] <a5h15h> gothenburg, in the packages list xchat is missing
[09:56] <gothenburg> wise_crypt: iverestimated
[09:56] <vlt> Hello. I have a PDF document created by OpenOffice. Any idea how to paginate it without losing the index/bookmarks?
[09:57] <gothenburg> a5h15h: check with aptitude show xchat

[10:00] <wise_crypt> vlt: use extended pdf for that
[10:01] <wereHamster> I heard I shouldn't use apt-get and aptitude at the same time. Is that true?
[10:02] <psycho_oreos> from who?
[10:02] <wise_crypt> wereHamster: thats true in maverick aptitude will be gone but will remain in repos
[10:02] <wereHamster> ubuntu wiki was it (iirc)

[10:19] <iceroot> KnightStalker: depending what space is (ram or hdd) and what you want
[10:19] <SandGorgon> ravibn, ahh.. then your machine is not 64-bit. you need to install the 32-bit version
[10:19] <ravibn> sanGorgon : but never really got it boot now I am trying to boot thru virtual machine
[10:19] <KnightStalker> iceroot:HDD is 3 GB and ram is 2gb

[10:20] <kelvinella> sdk or sdk1?

[10:20] <KnightStalker> oh k
[10:20] <fulldarkness> how to make a persistent usb backtrack in terminal?
[10:20] <iceroot> KnightStalker: without a gui its no problem, with a gui maybe you have to remove some programs
[10:21] <SandGorgon> ravibn, hmm.. so we are missing two different situations here - are you trying the LiveCD on ur laptop or on a virtual machine (which virtual machine software ?)
[10:21] <kelvinella> sdk1 or sdk ??
[10:21] <SirMoo> I doubt Microsoft will get that annoyed with Dell. I mean, they're not advertising Ubuntu on the front page. :/

[10:23] <llutz> kelvinella: wait until its finished
[10:23] <ravibn> SandGorgon : So I got this error msg "The Kernel requires x86-64 cpu, but only detected i686 CPU unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate to your cpu"
[10:24] <Inferus> anyone got photoshop cs4 working on playonlinux?
[10:24] <piko> Hello all, I am using ubuntu 10.04 and I noticed important slow down in gnome/metacity - it takes me quite a long time (sometimes more than 10 seconds to switch the workspaces, sometimes it is okay). Despite that swap is on zero (but present), CPU is less than 10%. Are there any performance problems with current ubuntu?
[10:24] <kelvinella> why some distro make img file that is 754MB??
[10:24] <SandGorgon> ravibn, for booting as a virtual machine, my advice is to use Virtualbox for windows rather than Virtual PC - you need to enable EM64 extensions in your virtual PC otherwise. as an aside, what was the error you got when you tried it on your laptop itself ?
[10:24] <kelvinella> how do u suppose to find a CD that can burn 754MB?
[10:24] <unop> kelvinella, some CD-ROMs allow for a few meg extra
[10:24] <kelvinella> the largest i have is 733MB
[10:24] <kelvinella> i tries overburn setting but fail
[10:25] <ravibn> SandGorgon: It showed up a blank screen without any error msg
[10:25] <kelvinella> let me take a shower first
[10:26] <llutz> kelvinella: burn it to dvd
[10:26] <ravibn> SandGorgon : this machine went died after a while.  I will try the virtualbox also
[10:27] <SandGorgon> ravibn, x86-64 is 64-bit and i686 is 32-bit - your i7 is a 64-bit system
[10:28] <Buchi> ravibn -> have you tried wikipedia? :)
[10:28] <SandGorgon> ravibn, another bit of suggestion is to use Ubuntu 64-bit 9.10 install CD - I have had issues with 10.04 where I had to disable A: (floppy device) in bios before it could boot
[10:29] <ravibn> SandGorgon : ok! I will give a try for that version too
[10:30] <piko> gothenburg, who from us is an idiot?
[10:30] <JasonWoof> ShackleBan: I'm assuming part of the reason dell is shipping ubuntu is to prove to M$ that they can sell computers without windows. And then hopefully negotiate for a better price on windows
[10:31] <ShackleBan> I hope so
[10:31] <ShackleBan> I don't like Dell machines anyway
[10:31] <ShackleBan> They're unreliable
[10:31] <steveccc> hi all - can anyone confirm a good tool for ubuntu which accurately reports smart status of drives - i know quite alot of disk software incorrectly reports smart status
[10:32] <StaRetji> Hello, need help removing panel/taskbar in Ubuntu Netbook Lucid ... THX !
[10:32] <Xgates> can someone please paste at pastebin for me: /etc/rsyslog.d/20-ufw.conf
[10:32] <thune3> steveccc: best bet is to learn smartctl command from command line
[10:32] <sno> steveccc: smartmontools / smartctl or if you are using lucid, it has a gui for smartmontools installed
[10:32] <gothenburg> piko: Reinfeldt
[10:33] <piko> oh, ...
[10:34] <steveccc> sno: is it reliable - ie if it says disk fine - is this normally true - i know on a mac smart reports good even if the disk is grating itself to death
[10:34] <red2kic> steveccc: You should have it installed already. Look in System --> Administration --> Disk Utility
[10:35] <sno> steveccc: if the extended test says everything is ok, then yes it should be fine, that is no excuse not to have tested working backups however
[10:35] <piko> steveccc, what incorrectly working sw did you experience?
[10:36] <pip> Hello, can I share a ubuntu's swap partition with another linux dist ?
[10:36] <a5h15h> gothenburg, i've installed gvim...while running it from terminal i get errors..** (gvim:3989): CRITICAL **: gtk_form_set_static_gravity: assertion `static_gravity_supported' failed..
[10:36] <piko> pip, yes, but forget about hibernation
[10:36] <erUSUL> pip: yes
[10:37] <Xgates> can someone please be kind and paste at pastebin for me: /etc/rsyslog.d/20-ufw.conf
[10:37] <steveccc> sno: thanks - i understand backups etc - just wanted to test a drive on a piece of smart software i trust - thanks for your help
[10:37] <unop> pip, errm, best not to - especially when you hibernate, etc.  and definitely not while the other is running.
[10:38] <sno> yw steveccc
[10:38] <ShackleBan> Pip boy :D
[10:38] <gothenburg> a5h15h: but it is running?
[10:38] <pip> pike erUSUL unop But the problem is that doens't work when I tried to share a swap partition with another linux distribution, when I boot that linux distribution, the swap doesn't get turned on
[10:38] <erUSUL> pip: the hybernation (suspend to disk) case is different, unop has a good point
[10:39] <StaRetji> Need help removing top panel/taskbar in Ubuntu Netbook Luc. I've used gconf-editor and thicked auto-hide but it still don't hide. Help appreciated ;) Thx folks
[10:39]  * bintut waves
[10:39] <erUSUL> pip: did you defined the swap apartition in that distro's fstab file?
[10:39] <pip> Because it can't be recognized as a swap partition from the other linxu
[10:39] <bintut> how to control upstart especially those services that i don't want to start during bootup?
[10:39] <pip> erUSUL, yes, I did
[10:39] <unop> pip, so how do you conclude this?
[10:39] <bintut> does my initscript from other distribution work on ubuntu lucid?
[10:40] <erUSUL> pip: do you get any error if you do « swapon -a » in that other distro ?
[10:40] <SCD> Hey, could anyone give me some wireless help? I'm using Sweex LW057 with Ubuntu 10.04 and it wont work D:
[10:40] <unop> !boot > bintut
[10:40] <pip> unop, I guess the Ubuntu encrypted that swap partition as its private one and doesn't want to share with others
[10:40] <a5h15h> gothenburg, there a fix for it...http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257..how should i apply it>
[10:40] <red2kic> SCD: I don't even know what Sweex LW057 is? Is it a wireless chair?
[10:40] <erUSUL> SCD: Sweex LW057 does not help ... is usb or pci ? what chip does it have inside? ( lspci or lsusb should tell you)
[10:40] <SCD> Yep red2kic
[10:41] <SCD> pci card
[10:41] <G_G> i have ubuntu installed on my one harddrive
[10:41] <unop> pip, hmm, could possibly be the reason.
[10:41] <SCD> Chipset is Marvell 88W8335 erUSUL
[10:41] <pip> :D
[10:41] <pip> But I'm not sure
[10:42] <G_G> is there anyway i can boot into ubuntu using Virtual PC?
[10:42] <unop> pip, must you really share this partition though?? can't you set another one up? or even a swap file if that's not possible?
[10:42] <gothenburg> :D
[10:42] <pip> unop, I don't want to get another swap file since I have a swap out there
[10:42] <gothenburg> a5h15h: don't know
[10:42] <Xgates> come on guys this isn't a tall order real simple, would someone please copy and past their /etc/rsyslog.d/20-ufw.conf file and put it up on pastebin for me?
[10:42] <a5h15h> gothenburg, k
[10:43] <bintut> unop: do you mean that i can still manage the services using update-rc.d ?
[10:43] <a5h15h> i've installed gvim...while running it from terminal i get errors..** (gvim:3989): CRITICAL **: gtk_form_set_static_gravity: assertion `static_gravity_supported' failed..
[10:43] <bintut> services using upstart?
[10:43] <pip> /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0
[10:43] <pip> Is this a crypted swap ?
[10:43] <a5h15h> there's a fix for it...http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257..how should i apply it?
[10:43] <pip> encrypted ?
[10:43] <unop> bintut, i should definitely hope so
[10:43] <pip> Why does ubuntu encrypt a swap partition ?
[10:44] <bintut> unop: ok
[10:44] <unop> pip, so that someone doesn't go through your swapped pages and discover your credit card details
[10:45] <erUSUL> SCD: is there a "wlan0" iface when you do « iwconfig » in a terminal ?
[10:45] <pip> unop, how to make it uncrypted ?
[10:45] <unop> pip, errm, good question - I don't know
[10:45] <SCD> Nope erUSUL, also would this be easier in PM?
[10:46] <erUSUL> !pm
[10:46] <Mrokii> hello. this is kind of off-topic, but does anybody know if there is an open-source app that allows synchronization of a Nokia phone (6300 in my case) and Ubuntu? Or, alternatively, a url where I can find information about the protocol such a phone uses?
[10:46] <StaRetji> Need help removing top panel/taskbar in Ubuntu Netbook Luc. I've used gconf-editor and thicked auto-hide but it still don't hide. Help appreciated ;) Thx folks
[10:46] <erUSUL> SCD: do « sudo modprobe libertas » and check again « iwconfig » output
[10:46] <unop> pip, but why you would want to leave it unencrypted, i don't know. I mean, if you go through the hassle of setting everything else encrypted ..
[10:46] <Mrokii> StaRetji:  Shouldn't that option be available if you right-click on the panel itself?
[10:47] <StaRetji> Mrokii: nope
[10:47] <SCD> Still nothing erUSUL
[10:47] <StaRetji> Mrokii: there is no option for that
[10:47] <pip> /dev/mapper/cryptswap1: block special
[10:47] <pip> What's this ?
[10:47] <erUSUL> SCD: « dmesg | tail -n25 » and paste the output in a pastebin please
[10:47] <erUSUL> !paste
[10:47] <Mrokii> StaRetji:  Okay, just thought it would be the same as on the regular Ubuntu-desktop
[10:47] <G_G> I have installed Ubuntu onto one of my harddrives, is there anyway i can setup VirtualPC to run that installation(off that harddrive) and not having to run a fresh installation?
[10:48] <StaRetji> Mrokii: it's not, to bad though. thx for effort dude
[10:48] <Mrokii> StaRetji:  np
[10:48] <StaRetji> Is there ubuntu netbook channel?
[10:48] <SCD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/450025/ erUSUL
[10:48] <pip> blkid doens't give out any output
[10:49] <SCD> http://paste.ubuntu.com/450024/ Sorry wrong link first time erUSUL
[10:49] <erUSUL> SCD: ok :)
[10:49] <piko> pip, I dod not follow the whole chat, but what should be usually sufficient for linux distro is 1) to build a swap partition by mkswap, 2) set it in /etc/fstab, 3) label partition by fdisk as linux partition
[10:49] <StaRetji> it is pretty annoying, I have small screen I really need to hide or remove top panel
[10:50] <erUSUL> SCD: you tried installing ndiswrapper ?
[10:50] <SCD> As far as I know it is installed erUSUL
[10:50] <SCD> I have the Windows Wireless Drivers gui thing
[10:50] <SCD> Which doesn't work with the windows drivers for the card
[10:52] <erUSUL> SCD: well; libertas is the linux driver for that card (no ndis) so if you've gone the ndis route you wont be using.
[10:52] <erUSUL> it*
[10:52] <pip> piko,  I just want to share the swap partition with another linux distribution
[10:53] <SCD> So how do I fix it erUSUL? :/
[10:53] <erUSUL> SCD: for ndis you need the windows *.inf file
[10:53] <unop> pip, are you starved of disk space or something?
[10:53] <pip> unop, yes
[10:53] <pip> I only have 30G of disk
[10:53] <SCD> It's what I've used erUSUL and it says "Cannot see if hardware is present"
[10:56] <unop> pip, my guess is to change the swap entry from /etc/fstab -- so boot up in "recovery mode", do a ''swapoff -a'', then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/your_swap_device   and then create the swap entry in /etc/fstab
[10:56] <unop> pip, but i suspect this could bork something
[10:56] <StaRetji> lol, is it me and my weird ubuntu problems, but whenever I come here for help nobody knows what to do :P
[10:57] <tester_> slap
[10:57]  * StaRetji facepalms
[10:57] <pip> unop, sounds so ...... frustrating
[10:58] <erUSUL> SCD: do not have expereince with ndiswrapper... maybe oficial docs ?
[10:58] <erUSUL> !ndiswapper
[10:58] <unop> pip, it's worth a try .. just make a backup of your /etc/fstab before going ahead with this
[10:58] <erUSUL> !ndiswrapper
[10:58] <StaRetji> Can't imagine this beeing a problem :

[11:01] <erUSUL> a5h15h: either on the upstream project website or via apt-get source if yu have the deb-src repositories enabled
[11:01] <erUSUL> SCD: maybe you are using the worng *.inf ?

[11:06] <smithh> can anyone tell me i want to deploy a chat server in lan which is web based
[11:06] <erUSUL> a5h15h: you should make a bug report agains vim in launchpad so it is fixed for you and others
[11:06] <erUSUL> !ebox | Slyboots
[11:07] <Slyboots> ubottu: Cheers
[11:07] <Slyboots> Oheh, I mean erUSUL
[11:07] <Yoavk> Ubuntu 10.04: Is there a way to edit the login screen via glade? (I want to add a news/message widget...)
[11:08] <a5h15h> erUSUL, there's already a fix for it..http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257...but I've got no idea how to apply the patch?
[11:09] <unop> a5h15h, http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/7.2.257 contains the patch, strip out the cruft and save the patch somewhere.  make a temporary directory in which you get the source for vim with '' apt-get source vim-gnome '' .. apply the patch with ''patch < /path/to/this.patch'' .. if that succeeds, issue ''apt-get build vim-gnome'' and then install the .deb files created with '' sudo dpkg -i *.deb''
[11:09] <unop> !patch | a5h15h
[11:13] <unop> a5h15h, are you on karmic?
[11:13] <Slyboots> Hm, silly question but if I add a launchpad PPA.. how do I remove it?
[11:13] <a5h15h> unop, yeah
[11:14] <unop> a5h15h, these "errors" are not fatal, are they?
[11:16] <unop> a5h15h, this seems fixed in version 2:7.2.330-1ubuntu1 (lucid) -- so it's probably easier if you just backport vim for karmic

[11:18] <martez89> hey, how can i make the chromium bookmark bar font smaller?
[11:18] <Slyboots> Oh Im on ubuntu-server
[11:18] <SolomonKane> martez89: you'd need to hack the source and recompile, I would assume.
[11:18] <bazhang> Slyboots, then edit the /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:19] <Slyboots> Hmm
[11:19] <SolomonKane> martez89: you can try using ctrl+shift+b to hide the bookmarks, and do the same to make them return.  Why display them when you dont need them?
[11:19] <thune3> Slyboots: or remove files from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[11:19] <Slyboots> I dont see it though, thats the problem
[11:20] <bazhang> Slyboots, once that is edited, then sudo apt-get update; you can edit by commenting out the repos with a # in front of the ones you wish out
[11:20] <Slyboots> I added teh ppa for ebox.. I cant see it in apt/sources
[11:20] <geirha> Slyboots: It's likely in a separate file under /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[11:21] <Slyboots> Right, got it :)
[11:21] <Slyboots> Cheers :)
[11:21] <martez89> SolomonKane: I put all my bookmarks in folders on the bookmark bar. by using ctrl+shift+b it takes a lot longer to browse them

[11:27] <AdvoWork> how can i tell if my syslog service is running?
[11:28] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, on my ubuntu machine, how can I make sure that a file on a FAT volume (usb memory stick) is marked as hidden for windows?
[11:28] <unop> AdvoWork,  pgrep syslog && echo "yay, it runs."
[11:29] <LuckySMack> i have an interesting issue, im wondering if anyone could shed some light on. I have 2 sites that are live. On both it seems that I am unable to log into them. In any browser i used i could not login. or if i did it would go to my user account then say access denied (not logged in). Giving my user/pass to a friend, they were able to log in.even using their user/pass. On my end, nothing. BUT, when i log into windows (was using ubuntu 9.10) I
[11:29] <LuckySMack> can log in perfectly fine. so im not sure what could be causing that issue.
[11:29] <LuckySMack> ive cleared cache many times, and im not using a proxy. I dont know what could cause this sort of problem
[11:30] <geirha> AdvoWork: sudo service sysklogd status && echo running || echo not running
[11:30] <AdvoWork> gives: sudo: service: command not found
[11:30] <AdvoWork> not running
[11:30] <AdvoWork> can i start it easily enough?
[11:31] <geirha> AdvoWork: Ah, service is new in 9.10 iirc. sudo /etc/init.d/sysklogd status  on older releases
[11:31] <kelvinella> hi anyone have tried the ubuntu moblin remix?
[11:31] <xae8koo> Where is the apache root?

[11:32] <erUSUL> xae8koo: /var/www/ ?
[11:33] <gianni> hi
[11:33] <Pelobest_ita> hi
[11:33] <gianni> è il canale italiano?
[11:33] <Pelobest_ita> non credo.
[11:33] <geirha> !italian | gianni
[11:33] <llutz> !it
[11:34] <AdvoWork> geirha, that just gives:  * Usage: /etc/init.d/sysklogd {start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload|reload-or-restart}
[11:35] <geirha> AdvoWork: Hm. Then it doesn't have a way to report status on your system. (It does in 9.10). You'll have to use pgrep as unop described.
[11:36] <AdvoWork> geirha, tried: pgrep sysklogd && echo "yay, it runs."   gave nothing
[11:36] <jimi_> anyone here know how to set max output above 100% in alsamixer?
[11:38] <geirha> AdvoWork: The actual daemon is not named sysklogd. Try pgrep syslog
[11:38] <unop> AdvoWork, did you mean syslogd ?
[11:39] <AdvoWork> pgrep syslog && echo "yay, it runs."  still gives nothing, as does syslogd
[11:39] <unop> AdvoWork, strange
[11:40] <AdvoWork> unop, very :s
[11:40] <unop> AdvoWork,  have a look through ps aux?
[11:41] <unop> though that's unlikely to show any different
[11:41] <unop> AdvoWork, maybe the service has been stopped?
[11:41] <sidney> will apt-get install opera or do I need to do something special like edit the source list
[11:41] <unop> !opera | sidney
[11:41] <jimi_> Using alsamixer, how can i set the max output above 100% like you can in pulsaudio controller?
[11:43] <unop> jimi_, don't think that's possible
[11:43] <jimi_> unop, so i have to go back to pulseaudio?
[11:45] <AdvoWork> unop, dont think its running, tried ps aux.. can i just start it somehow?
[11:45] <mmfb> I'm trying to remember the command used in terminal to open up a folder. I remember it started with "nau" i believe
[11:45] <unop> jimi_, I guess - there might be some other util that might be able to do this - i know vlc can do this ..
[11:45] <NitzchONot> mmfb, nautilus ?
[11:45] <thune3> jimi_: what is the original problem you want solved

[11:46] <jimi_> thune3, i uninstalled pulseaudio, because someone recommended using alsa with vbox ... pulse audio has a feature that lets you set your output to 100%+ i think up to like 150 or 125....

[11:46] <powerpanda> $sudo make install
[11:46] <gianni> hi can someone help me whit this problem?
[11:47] <AdvoWork> unop, out of interest, why invoke-rc.d? ive never used that before

[11:48] <indus> blockcold, no wait,
[11:48] <bdancer> if anyone have account on ubuntuforums.org could you please share patch from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1386972 this thread?
[11:48] <indus> blockcold, do you have synaptic?
[11:49] <blockcold> yup
[11:49] <unop> AdvoWork, it's the right way to manipulate services
[11:49] <unop> AdvoWork, or rather, a better way
[11:49] <blockcold> yes indus
[11:49] <indus> blockcold, there are a different packages , dovecot-imapd or dovecot-pop3d
[11:49] <powerpanda> -/bin/cp ./HandBrakeCLI /usr/local/bin/HandBrakeCLI
[11:49] <indus> blockcold, install from synaptic then, its easy
[11:49] <AdvoWork> unop, instead of doing sya /init.d/syslogd restart?
[11:50] <Pelobest_ita> noone can help me?
[11:50] <blockcold> indus its shows me dovcot-common
[11:50] <blockcold> can i install it ?
[11:50] <powerpanda> -/bin/cp: cannot stat `./HandBrakeCLI': No such file or directory
[11:50] <indus> blockcold, that will be installed anyway, install the main package , either dovecot-imapd or pop3d
[11:50] <blockcold> ok indus
[11:50] <indus> blockcold, dont you see those below, scroll down a bit
[11:50] <powerpanda> make: *** [test.install] Error 1
[11:51] <powerpanda> and that is my dilema
[11:51] <powerpanda> any suggestions?
[11:51]  * blockcold hugs indus
[11:51] <indus> blockcold, also dovecot-postfix for mail
[11:51] <unop> AdvoWork, well, that's what invoke-rc.d does behind the scenes anyway, but yea -- it's also a cross-distro way of manipulating services.
[11:51] <AdvoWork> unop, ahh ok, useful to know
[11:51] <temp> I seem to have messed up some of the files in dev would reinstalling help?
[11:52] <bdancer> guy please give me some time )) please share the patch =)
[11:52] <unop> temp, errm, depends on which files and how.. a restart might be all that's needed.
[11:52] <alakoo> Hi. I'm having problems with wine. I'm running CM 01/02 and I cannot see the cursor on my game window. The cursor does work, I can click at things but obviously I should also see the cursor to be able to play.
[11:52] <temp> I mean rinstalling all packages,
[11:52] <blockcold> ty indus all dovecot packages are install now
[11:52] <temp>  at least /dev/null as ssh complains it has premissions errors
[11:52] <indus> blockcold, so good luck , you setting up a mail servre ?
[11:53] <bdancer> ok i found it
[11:53] <bdancer> tnx anyway
[11:53] <blockcold> indus: yes :)
[11:53] <powerpanda> can any one help with ubuntu on PS3?
[11:53] <ahox> Hi is there a program that converts relative soft linkts to absolute ones? E.g. I have a file foo that links to ../bar with bar in the directory /home/ but I want it to link to /home/bar. Any ideas?
[11:53] <indus> blockcold, so postfix is full mail server which will automatically install both imap and pop packages, good luckkkkkk
[11:54] <unop> temp, is that the only entry that's being complained about?
[11:54] <blockcold> ty again indus
[11:54] <unop> ahox, what does   ''readlink -f foo''  give you?
[11:54] <indus> blockcold, most welcome
[11:55] <wise_crypt> !info ebox-webmail
[11:55] <wise_crypt> !info ebox-webmail hardy
[11:55] <temp> neww terminals seem to have problems opening shells
[11:55] <ahox> unop: /home/bar, so thats correct.
[11:56] <Ozzah> http://pastebin.com/xfHRAw6e - I can't seem to format my software raid. Any ideas?
[11:56] <unop> ahox, so you can do something like.  ln -s "$(readlink -f foo)" foo
[11:56] <tmas> Can anyone help me with the ubuntu installation process? My install sticks at 5% (Creating ext4 filesystem for/in partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb)).
[11:57] <unop> ahox, you might need to force the overwrite with -f.   ln -svf "$(readlink -f foo)" foo
[11:57] <ahox> unop: thanks, just doing that right now
[11:57] <unop> ahox, do you have many files you have to do this for.
[11:57] <unop> ?
[11:58] <tmas> ahox: have you tried man readlink?
[11:58] <ahox> and do you know a way to do it the other way round? decanonicalize the whole thing?
[11:58] <ahox> just doing that - one just have to know the right  command
[11:58] <ahox> about 100'000 files. But this should be easy enough with find and xargs
[11:59] <temp> only null  pts  shm
[11:59] <unop> ahox, you mean get relative paths from absolute ones?
[12:00] <temp> only null  pts  shm under dev ie ls /dec gives  null  pts  shm
[12:00] <shubbar> I'm getting an error on DevicePath for my Canon laser printer
[12:01] <shubbar> Since updating to lucid, it stoped working. I updated the driver, but still getting this error.
[12:01] <ahox> yes, my problem is that I have to move files within a directory which will change the hirarchy of some files. So my idea was to convert them first to absolute links and then when I am done back to relative ones. And I really need the relative ones
[12:02] <tmas> ahox: readlink -f foo will display file status in the format foo. At least that's what my man command says.
[12:03] <ahox> here it says it will simply display the canoicalized form
[12:03] <tmas> Can anyone help me with the ubuntu installation process? My install sticks at 5% (Creating ext4 filesystem for/in partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sdb)).
[12:03] <ahox> tmas, did you try an fsck?
[12:03] <thune3> tmas: i don't know the fix the problem in the installer problem. but, you could try formating your partitions from gparted in livecd ahead of time, and then installing to existing partitions . (i'm sure there is a better answer though)
[12:03] <unop> ahox,  perl -mFile::Spec -e 'print File::Spec->abs2rel( +shift )'  /path/to/your/file   # prints it relative to $PWD
[12:04] <tmas> ahox: I'm trying it right now.
[12:04] <unop> ahox, you can also give abs2rel another argument i.e. the basedir if you don't want it done based on $PWD -- see http://perldoc.perl.org/File/Spec/Unix.html
[12:04] <dannyla> d
[12:04] <ahox> unop: thnx a lot, that looks indeed perfect
[12:05] <tmas> ahox: How would I run fsck on sdb? I'm a n00b at this stuff.
[12:05] <bullgard4> How to determine what softlink to my file /lib/init/upstart-job?

[12:06] <its-me-again> hi all anyone know where i can get a copy of plain old grub 1

[12:06] <tmas> ahox: I got to the console fine, but I need to know the syntax for fsck. fsck sdb?
[12:07] <aTurtle> home: /dev/sda1/media/storage? Is that correct?
[12:08] <its-me-again> tmas: do you need to run fsck i have a quic solution for you
[12:08] <ahox> tmas: badblock /dev/sdb
[12:08] <tmas> its-me-again: yes
[12:08] <tmas> ahox: badblock?
[12:08] <its-me-again> ok boot from a live cd. open gparted
[12:08] <ahox> tmas it checks for badblocks on your disk
[12:08] <home> guys thank you I have just been informed that It needa a TAB between the mount point and the device I am rebooting to try this now thank you
[12:08] <Lounge> exit

[12:09] <tmas> ahox: thanks
[12:09] <ahox> but be warned. It may take a long time
[12:09] <its-me-again> tmas: did you get ^
[12:10] <tmas> its-me-again: I'm actually in the middle of the installation, using the command line.
[12:10] <its-me-again> o well to bad
[12:10] <tmas> ahox: I needed to run sudo badblocks /dev/sdb, not badblock /dev/sdb
[12:10] <its-me-again> i never needed to use comandline to install ubuntu
[12:11] <stercor> How do I create a command-line box?
[12:11] <tmas> ahox: and it just doesn't seem to do much.
[12:11] <stercor> I tried /usr/bin/bash
[12:11] <Apoth> hi

[12:12] <stercor> Thanks, Aturtle.  I just had a brain freeze...
[12:12] <Sm3gal> i got a jailbroken ipod touch
[12:12] <Apoth> but i nont know how can i set the pair pin code
[12:13] <oblu_> lol
[12:13] <Sm3gal> but i cannot run itunes in linux
[12:13] <aTurtle> stercor: Uh-uh. gnome-terminal in case you wanted to know.
[12:13] <aTurtle> !ipod | Sm3gal
[12:13] <tmas> ahox: how long should this take?
[12:13] <Sm3gal> and most songs are bought from itunes and locked
[12:13] <tmas> ahox: I've got to go to school soon.
[12:14] <Sm3gal> therefore i need to run itunes in linux
[12:14] <ahox> depending on your hd size it can take up to a few hours
[12:14] <aTurtle> Sm3gal: Stop buying DRM-crippled songs on iTunes? :o
[12:14] <Sm3gal> and wine dont run it
[12:14] <Sm3gal> i kno
[12:14] <thune3> SmokeyD: http://planet.admon.org/howto/create-additional-loop-devices-in-linux/
[12:14] <aTurtle> Sm3gal: Running Windows in VirtualBox?
[12:14] <ahox> Sm3gal: the only way I see to get itunes running under linux is by running it in a VM running windows...
[12:14] <Sm3gal> ok
[12:15] <Sm3gal> i was hoping to avoid that
[12:15] <tmas> Sm3gal: iTunes has no DRM on anything you can get wiht iTunes plus. You shouldn't have a problem with iTunes songs that were bought less than a year ago.
[12:15] <seb_> hey everyone is the a program that can help uninstall unessaray driver

[12:21] <Sm3gal> what u guys think about vector linux?
[12:21] <SolomonKane> I think most people dont use it for a reason.
[12:22] <Apoth> nobody can help to me?
[12:22] <bazhang> Sm3gal, its offtopic here
[12:22] <SolomonKane> anigma: sounds like you're using Ubuntu.
[12:22] <bazhang> Sm3gal, feel free to chat about it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:22] <Guest14936> anigma did you update?
[12:22] <mfraz74> apoth: what is the problem?
[12:22] <Apoth> bluetooth connection with rfcomm
[12:22] <anigma> Guest14936: yes, I did yesterday.
[12:22] <Apoth> i want toconnect to a bluetooth device
[12:22] <Apoth> but i can not set up the pin
[12:23] <Apoth> commandline
[12:23] <Apoth> :)
[12:23] <Guest14936> anigma already looked in the sound preferences?
[12:23] <Sonderblade> what package/codec do you need to play swf movies using mplayer?
[12:23] <Guest14936> left click at the sound indicator
[12:23] <anigma> Guest14936: looks there is no hardware
[12:24] <Guest14936> anigma do you use an external card?
[12:24] <Guest14936> PCI?
[12:24] <anigma> no
[12:24] <anigma> PCI I guess
[12:24] <anigma> if that's normal?
[12:24] <Guest14936> onboard is normal
[12:24] <Guest22284> 中文
[12:24] <anigma> then I guess it would be onboard
[12:24] <Apoth> mfraz74, any idea?
[12:25] <Guest14936> hhmmm
[12:25] <Guest14936> no devices at hardware?
[12:25] <anigma> no
[12:25] <Guest14936> reboot again perhaps?
[12:25] <mfraz74> apoth: why can't you use the GUI?
[12:26] <anigma> I just did... could shut it down for a few minutes and check again?
[12:26] <Guest14936> Otherwise its a software problem
[12:27] <Guest14936> report the problem at launchpad
[12:27] <Guest14936> it could be a bug
[12:27] <Apoth> mfraz74, i can add serial bluetooth interface via gui?
[12:28] <mfraz74> apoth: sorry, not sure
[12:28] <Guest14936> so, I can' t really help
[12:28] <Apoth> yes, thi is the problem
[12:28] <Apoth> i want to connect to a bluetooth barcode reader
[12:28] <bullgard4> unop: I cannot follow you. /etc/init.d/gdm is a symlink to /lib/init/upstart-job. But '~$ readlink /lib/init/upstart-job' does not produce any output.
[12:28] <Apoth> i have a python script to read codes via serial
[12:30] <bullgard4> Apoth: Please do not replace the interpunction with the Enter key.
[12:30] <thune3> bullgard4: what are you trying to do again?

[12:31] <bullgard4> thune3: I am not trying to do anything again. Sorry.
[12:32] <thune3> bullgard4: what are you trying to do, again?
[12:32] <seb_> thune3: hey whats up? i finally got wireless working and im on ubuntu 10.04
[12:33] <seb_> thune3: its seems to be working better with my configuration
[12:33] <bullgard4> thune3: I'd like to find out what softlink(s) point to /lib/init/upstart-job.
[12:34] <seb_> thune3: i just was wondering if you know any program that can help you clean your computer up of all the stuff you don't need
[12:34] <solow> Does anyone in hear know why ubuntu sucks at flash, and how i can fix this... it's driving me insane
[12:35] <sidney> seb_: try administration computer janitor
[12:35] <geirha> solow: Not much ubuntu can do about that. It's adobe you need to complain to.
[12:36] <aTurtle> Good riddances to Adobe Flash once HTML5 rolls in... just about everywhere.
[12:36] <solow> geirha,  I don't really care who's to blame. I want to know why it sucks, and how to fix it.
[12:36] <seb_> sidney: its asking me to remove linux-image-2.6.31-22-generic?? do you know what is sounds important?
[12:37] <krazykrivda> I'm using fstab to automount a partition that i use for all my documents.. but it is a "locked" folder.. what do I need to put in fstab so I can have access to modifying files in it
[12:37] <Guest14936> If you got 2.6.31-23 its fine
[12:37] <simar> Do anybody know that what is /dev/psaux ???
[12:37] <simar> actually i'm triaging a bug ..
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> simar:  a ps2 mouse/keyboard
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> krazykrivda:  depends on what filesystem it is
[12:38] <DJ_HaMsTa> http://techbuket.net/ubuntu-240.html
[12:38] <sidney> seb_:  not sure about that I just ran it a few times with no problem but be sure before hand
[12:38] <geirha> solow: It's closed source, so only adobe can fix it.
[12:38] <krazykrivda> Dr_Willis: it is a vfat filesystem
[12:38] <simar> Dr_Willis, thnaks for the information.
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> !vfat
[12:38] <solow> great
[12:38] <krazykrivda> I've used it in th epast.. but i had to resetup ubuntu and I know longer remmebr how I did it
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> krazykrivda:  install/run ntfs-config. or manually alter the fstab with the proper options
[12:39] <ohir> solow: its bad Adobe coding and long known bug. One of the reasons Apple banned Adobe flash from their products.
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> set the uid/gid is one way  to get write access
[12:39] <krazykrivda> Dr_Willis: yeah.. I'm trying to figure out what the proper options are
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> krazykrivda:  check the ntfs-3g docs -  its basically the same options
[12:40] <krazykrivda> Dr_Willis: ok reading now thank you
[12:41] <ohir> solow: actually AFAIR its called a feature, to let you have chance to at least listen to whole commercial

[13:01] <hellwolf06[web]> ikonia, how can i make my own toolbar?
[13:02] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: tools bar ?
[13:02] <scribawf> how do I edit/delete previous kernals from grub2 on startup?
[13:02] <Phoebus> How to make shortcuts using a set local/executing folder/location?
[13:02] <ikonia> scribawf: when you remove the kernel they should go
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> scribawf:  you could remove them with the package manager.
[13:02] <Guest14936> in Gnome or KDE?
[13:02] <Phoebus> Gnome
[13:02] <thune3> Phoebus: i'm not a bash expert. you could just have your script do 'export WINEPREFIX="/home/ubuntu/WINISDPRO/"' and 'cd $WINEPREFIX' to make sure it is always in the right place
[13:02] <scribawf> OK ans to all in Gnome
[13:02] <hellwolf06[web]> ikonia, you know, toolbar, like google bar, yandex bar, yahoo,e.t.c
[13:02] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: no idea, that's not really an ubuntu issue
[13:03] <Phoebus> thune3, going to try that cheers :)
[13:03] <hellwolf06[web]> ikonia, and whose issue is it?
[13:03] <Guest14936> you mean in FireFox?
[13:03] <hellwolf06[web]> yes
[13:03] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: it would be a programming question
[13:03] <hellwolf06[web]> ok
[13:03] <scribawf> ikonia;  trying to clear old kernels that show as to electively select in grub2
[13:03] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: this channels for ubuntu support,
[13:03] <xae8koo> ikonia: Its ip is <IP_ADDRESS> but I get noting on that ip...
[13:03] <ikonia> xae8koo: check you can route to it
[13:03] <Guest14936> hellowolf right click next to Help
[13:03] <xae8koo> ping?
[13:03] <ikonia> scribawf: sorry, say that again, I don't understand
[13:03] <Guest14936> in FF
[13:03] <hellwolf06[web]> ok, so i want to ask u question
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> !ask | hellwolf06[web]
[13:04] <hellwolf06[web]> How to use ggole without everything bar?
[13:04] <scribawf> Dr_Willis:  of course guess I could also use the built in editor I think it's in bash?
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> hellwolf06[web]:  i google all the time and ive no idea what you mean by a 'everything bar'
[13:04] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: that's nothing to do with ubuntu again
[13:04] <mickster04> hellwolf06[web]: type www.google.com in the top?
[13:04] <hellwolf06[web]> Hey guys,FF v.s. Opera
[13:04] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: please stop
[13:04] <mickster04> !ot | hellwolf06[web]:
[13:04] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: this channel is for ubuntu support only
[13:05] <bazhang> hellwolf06[web], #ubuntu-offtopic for chat NOT here
[13:05] <scribawf> ikonia:  meaning I have about a dozen listings of the older kernels available, and of course along with WinXp
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> scribawf:  theres dozens of text editors out  if thats what you mean. The kernel entries are auto generated from all the installed kernelss.
[13:05] <hellwolf06[web]> stop shouting on me.
[13:05] <IdleOne> hellwolf06[web]: stop asking offtopic questions please
[13:05] <ikonia> scribawf: if you remove the kernels with the package manager, they will dissapear from the grub menu
[13:05] <hellwolf06[web]> I only asked whats better Opera and FF
[13:05] <LjL> !poll > hellwolf06[web]    (hellwolf06[web], see the private message from ubottu)
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> hellwolf06[web]:  try them both and decide for your own needs
[13:05] <tsubame> whats a good media center for gnu/linux?
[13:05] <ikonia> ok - guys, easy, he knows now
[13:05] <p1l0t> hellwolf06[web] they are not shouting, bot commands start with an exclamation point
[13:06] <xae8koo> ikonia: And my ubuntu has <IP_ADDRESS> woulnd't that cause a conflict? Because they're not on the same range?
[13:06] <scribawf> Dr_Willis:  I know this editing procedure is a little more complicated than the original Grub boot loader from earlier releases
[13:06] <p1l0t> !ubottu | hellwolf06[web]
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  depends on what you need.
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> !grub2 | scribawf
[13:06] <ikonia> xae8koo: not a conflict, but you may not be setup to route to that network
[13:06] <IdleOne> !polls > hellwolf06[web]
[13:06] <hellwolf06[web]> what is the best browser?
[13:06] <xae8koo> ikonia: What should I do then?
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> hellwolf06[web]:  try them  and decide for your own needs
[13:06] <ikonia> xae8koo: you'll have to setup routing to your vm from your host network
[13:07] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: oh hai. some media playing. audio and video + lirc support
[13:07] <mickster04> tsubame: i used xbmc
[13:07] <xae8koo> ikonia: On my router?
[13:07] <scribawf> Dr_Willis:  TU will check out the wiki, as you suggested and probably should've done that in 1st place, Tnx and also Ikonia
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  xbmc, moovidia, enna, and proberly some others
[13:07] <tsubame> hmm
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  boxee also may do whaat you want
[13:07] <ikonia> xae8koo: on a device that can process routing requests for you
[13:07] <vect> so discussing programs within a ubuntu install is offtopic?
[13:07] <hellwolf06[web]> U just simply hate me
[13:07] <Ozzah> I'm using the stock 10.04 ALSA drivers to run my SoundBlaster Live! Platinum. Any ideas on how I can get the optical output working?
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> vect:  polls are..
[13:08] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: stop now, please
[13:08] <IdleOne> !guidelines | hellwolf06[web]
[13:08] <xae8koo> ikonia: You are somewhat vauge...
[13:08] <hellwolf06[web]> ikonia,stop what?
[13:08] <vect> polls? looked like to me he was just asking an honest question
[13:08] <ikonia> hellwolf06[web]: check your private messages
[13:08] <LjL> vect: requesting support for them isn't (although depending on the program and the type of question, it might be better to try the dedicated channel)
[13:08] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: anyone thats really stable? i would need the idiot proof version
[13:08] <[Screamo]> After testing out an old radeon card, (that sucked horribly) 10.04 starts in low graphics mode, what gives
[13:08] <Guest14936> Dont feed the troll
[13:08] <vect> LjL: he was just asking which is better
[13:08] <LjL> vect: x vs y is a poll, and not appropriate for this channel
[13:08] <ikonia> xae8koo: no, I don't know your network or what kit we have, so what ever is processing your routing between networks is what needs to be altered
[13:08] <vect> feeding the troll?
[13:08] <LjL> vect: it's not a support question.
[13:08] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  all of them have issues.  I rarely use them. xbmc is proberly the most popular and well done.
[13:08] <DamienCassou> hi
[13:09] <vect> sure it is
[13:09] <mickster04> vect: he was asking which is better aka a poll
[13:09] <ikonia> vect: - it's not, those are the rules, accept them
[13:09] <IdleOne> vect: no it isn't. please drop it
[13:09] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: alright will have a look
[13:09] <bazhang> vect, lets move on please
[13:09] <vect> which works better in ubuntu, seems like a support question to me
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  theres many that are not in the package manager, (need ppa repos) and a few that are.  Moovidia is in the repos. enna and xbmc are not i recall
[13:09] <[Screamo]> Is there anyway to like clear and graphics settings?
[13:09] <[Screamo]> *any
[13:09] <vect> ridiculous, and you guys wonder why you get crapflooded
[13:09] <ikonia> [Screamo]: xorg is dynmamic so updates everytime you reboot
[13:09] <LjL> vect: he didn't ask which works better in ubuntu. that's a different question, and the answer would be "the one that's included by default", if one of the choices is.
[13:09] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: nah. enna is there. xbmc is missing
[13:10] <DamienCassou> mounting my camera always lead to a read-only file system. I tried to pass option rw to mount, without success.  I understand where you are coming from but try a different approach maybe
[13:10] <vect> idle: lol, Dick is a man's name
[13:11] <ikonia> vect: stop now, this is your last warning
[13:11] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: ill try that to get disappointed then, fellow archer
[13:11] <vect> you guys are kicking people with legit quesitons
[13:11] <hellwolf06[web]> ikonia, stop kicking everyone
[13:11] <BlueLaguna> Is there any way to prevent users from being able to shutdown / reboot by going to the logout menu?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  i recall one of them let you brosws online comics and manga also.  a few i had a hard time to get working properly
[13:11] <vect> ikonia: or you going to abuse your ops like you've been doing all morning on me?
[13:11] <BlueLaguna> I want them to be able to log out, but not shutdown the computer
[13:11] <mickster04> lol
[13:11] <IdleOne> BACK TO SUPPORT QUESTIONS PLEASE
[13:11] <IdleOne> thank you
[13:11] <kryptyk> Hey all! I am having some issues with ALSA in Lucid - seems to outputting both the left and right channels to only the right speaker. Any ideas?
[13:11]  * [Screamo] Needs help
[13:11] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: so which one is easiest to get up and running?
[13:11] <Dr_Willis> BlueLaguna:  i think there is. but i cant rember where i saw those settings.
[13:11] <ikonia> [Screamo]: what's up ?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  install the ones that are in the repo and try them out. thats the easy ones
[13:12] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: alright then
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> tsubame:  xbmc isent too hard to get going. but its interface is a little weirder in ways
[13:12] <tsubame> ah i see
[13:12] <less> I upgraded to Lucid and now I don't have a system tray in Gnome, which I need to access nm-applet for NetworkManager (wifi).
[13:13] <[Screamo]> Not entirely sure, it boots into low graphics mode, altho it doesnt say it, and when i right click> Change desktop background, it changes the theme on the panels, but everything lse is still in low grahpics mode
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> less:  You could reset the gnome panels.
[13:13] <p1l0t> Why is it when I specify credentials=credentials or credentials=/directory/credentials it asks me for a (not sudo) password still? (#samba idle)
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> !reset-panel | less
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.. did that factoid get lost also..
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> !resetpanel | less
[13:14] <less> tnx
[13:14] <ikonia> [Screamo]: what video card do you have
[13:14] <[Screamo]> erm
[13:14] <[Screamo]> h/o
[13:14] <Guest78740> ziggy_: howdy. i found a solution. /sbin/alsa force-reload and then restart the applications that use flash. actually flash broke the whole sound for all applications. that way i got around a reset.
[13:14] <[Screamo]>  Card nVidia NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] X.Org 1.7.6 Res<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[13:14] <mickster04> !trout
[13:15] <[Screamo]> Should also note that i am not using proprietary drives
[13:15] <[Screamo]> *drivers
[13:15] <thune3> kryptic: confirm with /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front*.wav files
[13:15] <tsubame> Dr_Willis: enna looks fine so far. gotta figure out how to do settigns though
[13:15] <Rr> ziggy_: regarding the flash no-sound problem
[13:15] <less> Dr_Willis: no system tray after reset.
[13:15] <ikonia> [Screamo]: that's quite an old card, let me have a quick look on it's support

[13:15] <DamienCassou> mounting my camera always lead to a read-only file system. I tried to pass option rw to mount, without success. Can anyone help me? I can still take photos so I guess the memory card is not write-protected at all
[13:15] <LjL> what
[13:16] <mickster04> lol
[13:16] <[Screamo]> ikonia, it worked flawlessly before
[13:16] <ikonia> [Screamo]: before what ?
[13:16] <[Screamo]> :|
[13:16] <relentless> I heard
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  try installing and running the ntfs-config command and set teh check box's to allow writing to removeable media
[13:16] <relentless> there is some op abouing people here.
[13:16] <ikonia> relentless: please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to talk to operators
[13:16] <tsubame> suprise, suprise. even sound works
[13:17] <overrider> When i plug in my Huawei USB 3G Modem, a 'dumb' connection utility will start itself. How do i prevent this from happening? I guess somewhere is a rule that says 'If this Device ID is plugged in, do that'. Any idea where to look? Thanks
[13:17] <less> Maybe I should rephrase: how do I access NetworkManager in Lucid?
[13:17] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: I don't think it's ntfs because writing to it worked before
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  the tool is for vfat and ntfs
[13:17] <[Screamo]> i tried out an Radeon 9550, and it came up with an error, then said something about low graphics mode, then gave me some options, i hit configure, and nothing happened, i clicked it like 3 more times, then said screw it, turn off comp, switch back to the nvidia card and still in low grahpics mode
[13:17] <kryptyk> I am having an issue with ALSA in Lucid. It is outputting the audio of both channels to only the right speaker. This not a hardware issue as it has done with 3 different sets of speakers.
[13:18] <[Screamo]> oh yeah, and i have no sound
[13:18] <[Screamo]> :/
[13:19] <p1l0t> What? lol j/k
[13:19] <thune3> kryptyk: confirm with "aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front*.wav"
[13:19] <ziggy_> Rr: yeah Rr
[13:19] <[Screamo]> less, maybe nm-applet in terminal?
[13:19] <p1l0t> [screamo] what was the error?
[13:19] <[Screamo]> p1l0t, i dont remeber
[13:20] <p1l0t> [screamo] figuring out the exact error will help you debug much easier
[13:20] <sakura> เหงาจังครับ
[13:20] <[Screamo]> p1l0t, that error was only with the other vid card, and it was based on the other vi card
[13:20] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: the checkbox doesn't change anything
[13:21] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: I tried to unmount and mount again without success
[13:21] <ziggy_> Rr: I just wonder why did alsa need to be reloaded...
[13:21] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  Odd. here when i check the boxc's it autiomatiacaly unmounted and remounted my excternal usb hd;s
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  you using 10.04 ?
[13:22] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: in the man page, it is said that it is valid only for ntfs. I'm on 10.4 right
[13:22] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  that tool works for vfat and ntfs both  - thats how i enable writeing on my vfat external usb hds
[13:23] <p1l0t> How do I open a folder with a space in the name from the command line?
[13:23] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: ok
[13:23] <LjL> p1l0t: put the name inside "quotation" or escape the space with "\ "
[13:23] <[Screamo]> eh
[13:23] <p1l0t> LjL thanks
[13:23] <[Screamo]> i am going to try using the propreitary drivers
[13:23] <T-Co> I have a Sony VAIO that has GeForce GT 330M and I had to hack and slash my way when installing ubuntu. I'm using "CustomEDID"    "DFP-0:/etc/X11/geforcegt330m.raw" and "metamodes"     "DFP-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0" in xorg.conf so it's custom made xorg.conf. Is there any way to get HDMI output working with this?
[13:24] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: still no success
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  Actually on this NEW install i did yesterday.. it defaulted to the vfat being writeable..   and the ntfs even ..
[13:24] <kryptyk> thune3 - all sounds (front left, front center, and front right) all play through only the right speaker
[13:24] <ziggy_> Rr: do you have to reload alsa every time you restart Ubuntu?
[13:24] <MagicJ> I have configured my system, using gconf-editor to have only one workspace - why are the tabs still offering me the option of moving to another workspace - and more to the point how do I stop this?
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> at least i dont recall running ntfs-config on this box.. i might have done it yesterday
[13:25] <[Screamo]> And i am going to install a pci audio card, maybe that will give me sound
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> DamienCassou:  you could always just mount the thing by hand/command line
[13:27] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: I tried using 'mount -o rw ...' without success
[13:27] <kryptyk> thune3: all sounds (front left, front center, and front right) all play through only the right speaker
[13:27] <DamienCassou> Dr_Willis: I always get the message that the drive is write protected and thus it mounts read-only
[13:28] <Rr> ziggy_: don't know why alsa didn't work. maybe it was in use by flash and it left it i a bad state. that its not just no-sound for flash after the flash upgrade was a surprise..
[13:29] <eagles0513875> hey guys has anyone experienced this problem before and have any idea how to fix it http://paste.ubuntu.com/449986/
[13:29] <thune3> kryptyk: sorry, those files are mono. ooops. just a sec.
[13:30] <HinHin> buckling IBM model M keyboards are basically the best you can get
[13:30] <ziggy_> Rr: I'm glad to hear that you got sound back, no fun watching videos without sound (^_^)
[13:30] <tsubame> how can one apt-get something from a specific source?
[13:31] <less> Handcrafting a special sources.lst for the occasion maybe?
[13:31] <halvors> How can i upload packages to the offcial Ubuntu repositorys?
[13:32] <tsubame> i feel there must be a better way
[13:32] <kryptyk> tsubame: what exactly do you mean? apt-get works entirely off of specific sources as defined in /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:32] <halvors> How can i include my package to the ubuntu repository
[13:32] <halvors> ?
[13:32] <LjL> !revu > halvors    (halvors, see the private message from ubottu)
[13:32] <tsubame> kryptyk: yeah. but assume theres pkg X in different verions on repo A and B. how do i tell apt-get to use B instead of A
[13:33] <tsubame> halvors: you cant
[13:33] <tsubame> halvors: you can set up a ppa though to ease the pain for others
[13:33] <tsubame> halvors: the stuff in the repos is handpicked by debian/ubuntu
[13:34] <kryptyk> tsubame: For me, the easiest thing to do would be to edit sources and comment out the repo that you don't want - but there may be a more elegant way
[13:34] <kryptyk> tsubame: you can also find the .deb and wget it
[13:34] <Freshness> Hey, is there someone who could help me with a crc checksum problem?
[13:34] <tsubame> there must be. oh well, not in the mood to figure it out

[13:40] <Rigorm0rtis> Hello, I am running into what I think might be a kernel bug in the latest ubuntu release. Simply put, when writing a very large file (a disk image) to the drive the entire system crashes. It doesn't matter if I am using Samba (over cifs) or tunneling the file over ssh. The system crashes around 60GB of data every time.
[13:41] <Ozzah> I'm using the stock 10.04 ALSA drivers to run my SoundBlaster Live! Platinum. I've set my sound preferences to use IEC958, and unmuted the SP/DIF stuff in alsamixer, but I still don't get any audio through toslink. I don't even see the red light. Any ideas?

[13:43] <MagicJ> where is the trash actually kept - old documentation seems to imply ~/.Trash but this is not the case?
[13:43] <p1l0t> pushpop what order are your partitions in?
[13:43] <pushpop> I did the guided partition
[13:43] <pushpop> so I have a swap and ext partition
[13:43] <pushpop> I do have a drive in the pc with NTFS on it though that I didnt partition
[13:44] <bazhang> !trash | MaJic_NinJa
[13:44] <kryptyk> pushpop: at the very basic level, you should have a root partition (/), swap partition, and a home partition

[13:45] <kryptyk> pushpop: ext is a file system, btw - kinda like NTFS on Windows
[13:46] <pushpop> kryptyk understood, just not understand why I can boot to the drive I installed ubuntu on
[13:46] <rdg> is there an IM client for Ubuntu with the same integration as Empathy?
[13:46] <kryptyk> pushpop: Am I correct that you are dual booting with Windows then?
[13:46] <EgyParadox> rdg: Other than Empathy?
[13:46] <forceflow> rdg: don't think so
[13:46] <saywatmang> is there anyway to have linux "re detect" connected usb devices?  for example in windows you can go into device manager and 'uninstall' the usb root hub and then have it scan for hardware changes
[13:47] <forceflow> empathy is tightly coupled to that widget thingy
[13:47] <pushpop> your are not, I just have files on my second hard drive from a windows computer that I would like to have on my ubuntu machine
[13:47] <kryptyk> pushpop: I see
[13:47] <kryptyk> And you are certain that BRUB installed to the MBR?
[13:47] <rdg> suck. you can't disable logging in empathy which makes it a no-go for my work environment
[13:47] <pushpop> kryptyk It asked me if I wanted to installed Grub and I of course said yes
[13:48] <gnoob>  #grub
[13:48] <mmfb> LjL: After putting in the correct command I get this -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/450083/
[13:49] <LjL> mmfb: you can't just type a filename containing spaces like that in bash. you need to put it inside "quotation marks"
[13:49] <aTurtle> saywatmang: lsusb - list USB devices
[13:50] <kryptyk> pushpop: check out this page - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[13:50] <kryptyk> That will walk you through reinstalling GRUB from the Live CD
[13:50] <pushpop> ok ill check it out
[13:50] <pushpop> also what is the fastest/best file system to use
[13:51] <kryptyk> Everyone has there preferences - I generally run XFS
[13:51] <mmfb> LjL: Now I get this... mount: can't find /home/mmfb/Downloads/Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast/Star wars jedi knight II jedi outcast$ in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[13:51] <forceflow> i run ext4, but that's just because it came as default in u9.10 ...
[13:51] <forceflow> (imho, it feels faster than ext3)
[13:51] <aTurtle> mmfb: "mkdir ~/Jedi ; sudo mount -o loop jedi2.iso ~/Jedi"
[13:52] <kryptyk> pushpop: it is worth noting that FXS is a 64bit file system
[13:52] <kryptyk> XFS*
[13:52] <LjL> mmfb: do what he said, it's much better than mounting on a probably non-existant extremely long filename.
[13:53] <rdg> empathy doesn't like it if you symbolically link its logs directory to /dev/null
[13:53] <forceflow> rdg: why do you do that?
[13:53] <rdg> i can't have logs
[13:53] <rdg> work requirement
[13:53] <forceflow> well, then just disable logging in empathy?
[13:53] <rdg> it's not an option
[13:53] <rdg> it's been an open bug for nearly 2 years
[13:53] <forceflow> really?
[13:54] <forceflow> whew
[13:54] <mmfb> It tells me that jedi2.iso is no such file or directory. :(
[13:54] <forceflow> rdg: then just run a cronjob that cleans out log dir every 5 minutes
[13:54] <LjL> seems like the kind of bug that would stop you from using such a program as the default IM program for anything, to me :|
[13:54] <rdg> yup. means medical professionals, certain government personnel, and others can't use it
[13:55] <earthman> hi
[13:55] <LjL> mmfb: well, you're the only one who can know what the actual ISO file is called, i can't guess that for you :)
[13:55] <EgyParadox> !crontab>rdg
[13:55] <forceflow> rdg: I never understood the switch from pidgin to empathy
[13:55] <mmfb> It's "jedi2.iso"
[13:55] <earthman> Dear all , I come from Shanghai
[13:55] <LjL> mmfb: perhaps it has Capitals? or it isn't in the current directory?
[13:56] <aTurtle> mmfb: Go to the current directory that jedi2.iso sits in, then run that command.
[13:56] <SmokeyD> hey everyone, how can I simulate on the commandline the mount that happens when I insert a usb stick? There is no fstab entry or anything, but still ubuntu automounts it. Just calling "mount /dev/sdc1" won't work since it looks in fstab. Any clues how I could do that? (I am creating a script)
[13:56] <earthman> ok
[13:57] <earthman> Ok, Only topic about ubuntu
[13:57] <mmfb> ~/Downloads/Star Wars Jedi Knight II Jedi Outcast/Star wars jedi knight II jedi outcast$
[13:58] <arcanian> 'lo
[13:58] <earthman> I close the service of gdm. But now I want to reopen it.But I can not.
[13:58] <mmfb> mkdir: cannot create directory `/home/mmfb/Jedi': File exists
[13:58] <mmfb> Is what I get when I put it in, although it still prompts for a password
[13:59] <LjL> mmfb: that's fine, you've already created the directory previously. if it says nothing else, then the ISO has likely been mounted. check.
[13:59] <thune3> kryptic: sorry. the correct command for the test is : speaker-test -c 2 -t wav
[13:59] <thune3> kryptyc: ^
[13:59] <earthman> Any Help?
[13:59] <tgywa> Hello
[13:59] <LjL> earthman: sudo service gdm start
[13:59] <tgywa> how can increase the no of simultaneous connection to my FTP server.
[14:00] <earthman> great
[14:00] <arcanian> My sound output is really distorted, scratchy. I get a headache when I hear it for too long and I guess that my HDMI, i.e. gfx card, interferes with my soundcard. Is there any way I can deinstall this HDMI device without deinstalling my gfx card?
[14:00] <tgywa> ?
[14:00] <p1l0t> !ask | earthman
[14:01] <rdg> EgyParadox: the problem with doing a cron job is if Empathy is running and expects a log file to exists.. blammo it crashes
[14:01] <SmokeyD> how does ubuntu make sure a new usbstick is automatically mounted? I guess it happens through some udev magic?
[14:01] <mmfb> LjL: I don't see it.
[14:02] <less> sudo apt-get install kismet gives me an old version, is there anywhere to get a .deb of the 2010 version of kismet?
[14:02] <arcanian> Does no one know?
[14:02] <less> (On Lucid.)
[14:02] <iceman_3233> h
[14:02] <mmfb> less: Try "sudo apt-get update kismet"
[14:02] <less> Will try.
[14:02] <forceflow> rdg: then just make the cronjob empty the files :)
[14:02] <LjL> SmokeyD, i think it's GNOME that does it
[14:03] <SmokeyD> LjL, ho, any clue how gnome does it?
[14:03] <rdg> how do you just empty a file
[14:03] <mmfb> Might there be a package or App that mounts iso files? Something like Alcohol 120%?
[14:03] <SmokeyD> it is also mounted in the filesystem, so it is not only gvfs
[14:03] <T-Co> http://xorg.pastebin.com/nBAxnMG9 this is what I get from Xorg. Does someone know what else do I have to add to my config in order to get DFP-1 to work?
[14:04] <hateball> mmfb: Rightclick and open with gnome mount
[14:04] <earthman> Ubuntu Server no GUI screen?
[14:04] <LjL> SmokeyD: no i don't really know, just https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB seems to confirm it's GNOME doing
[14:04] <SmokeyD> I want to simulate it in the commandline after I unmounted the drive, and changed the filesystem label
[14:04] <forceflow> rdg: delete it, then touch the original filename?
[14:04] <hateball> earthman: Server edition is commandline only, by default
[14:04] <arcanian> Hello? No answer?
[14:04] <forceflow> rdg: then empathy will just find empty logs
[14:04] <elcucu> tgywa: man netstat
[14:04] <mmfb> hateball: I'm not sure if this matters any, but I'm using Xubuntu
[14:05] <mmfb> hateball: I don't see GNOME mount anywhere.
[14:05] <hateball> mmfb: Yes, that would matter since you're using XFCE and not GNOME. I'm not aware of tools for xfce, but perhaps in #xubuntu they are
[14:06] <Mahjongg> hello, I have 6 Ubuntu Lucid boxes all af which freeze during user switching procedure. Is it because of xorg or user switcher or some program that I might have on all systems? Recently, I did not see this happening though (but I am trying to avoid user switching). Does anybody know about this bug?
[14:06] <less> mmfb: no luck with apt-get (concerning Kismet).
[14:07] <Mahjongg> by freeze I mean a black screen, not a perfect freeze
[14:07] <Mahjongg> rather an X freeze
[14:07] <hateball> Mahjongg: I've had that issue with ATI drivers
[14:08] <Mahjongg> hateball, I have nvidia, intel
[14:08] <hateball> Mahjongg: so if you have it and use something else... I guess xorg :)
[14:08] <Mahjongg> hateball, do you know if it has been fixed?
[14:09] <Mahjongg> hateball, do you know the link to this bug on ubuntu bugs?
[14:09] <hateball> Mahjongg: I cant say I do, and I dont have anything other than an ATI machine handy right now :/
[14:09] <SmokeyD> LjL do you know of any command I could issue that would make the system think the usbstick was taken out an put back in again?
[14:09] <comput> ´ó¼ÒºÃ
[14:10] <T-Co> So no one here who has working TwinView with laptop and HDMI?
[14:11] <aoeu> I'm currently reinstalling ubuntu. I had an encrypted /home with the standard encryption fron the alternate CD. How do I keep my old /home-partition the easiest way?
[14:11] <LjL> SmokeyD: no idea :(
[14:11] <SmokeyD> LjL: ok, thanks for thinking with me :)
[14:11] <Bjartr> Hi, I sometimes get a bunch of error bells in a row while I'm not doing anything. I (thought) I'd disabled error bells already, how can I determine the source program causing the bells and/or how can I turn them off for good?
[14:12] <ikonia> Bjartr: a common thing would be internal devices like bluetooth stopping/starting I used to get this on an old laptop
[14:12] <ikonia> Bjartr: look at the syslog and see if there are any obvious warnings
[14:14] <Bjartr> ikonia: nothing that looks like it matches the times I heard the bells
[14:14] <thune3> Bjartr: you've set sound theme in SoundPreferences to No sounds?
[14:14] <arcanian> Hopefully I'll get help this millenia. My sound output is really distorted and I can't fix it by changing the controllers in the alsamixer. On System -> Preferences -> Sound, in the hardware-tab I have two soundcards listed. The HD-Audio Generic and my SB Audigy 2 ZS. I only get sound when I change the settings for the Audigy to analog mono duplex or analog mono output, but on both settings...
[14:14] <arcanian> ...the output is really distorted, so what can I do against that? Please anyone help, it's driving me crazy. :(

[14:18] <Bjartr> thune3: I only have an Ubuntu theme, no 'no sounds' theme. Clicking the preview button next to the alert sound entry I don't hear anything (I don't have external speakers) so it's the internal pcspeaker that's getting triggered
[14:18] <mithridates> I wanna install a package from channel but apt-get install it from cache
[14:19] <mithridates> how can I ignore the cache
[14:19] <thune3> Bjartr: i have to look, but you could blacklist the module that drives the internal speaker
[14:19] <LjL> mithridates: you can remove the cache by doing "sudo apt-get clean"
[14:19] <mithridates> tnx
[14:20] <LjL> mithridates: however, the package you download will be the same as the one from the cache, most likely. there are checks in place to guarantee that.
[14:20] <Bjartr> thune: that would be /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, yes?

[14:30] <b0rdel> Hi all. I want to know whats the official virtualization of ubuntu: kvm or virtualbox. DOes anybody know?
[14:30] <saywatmang> any pointers on usb stuff not detecting?  nothing coming through /var/log/messages when plugging/unplugging the usb device
[14:30] <SirMoo> Does the USB plug work for other devices?
[14:31] <diey0sa> what is that mean?sorry for my english is bad
[14:31] <arcanian> I tried many ubuntu help sites and nowhere I could find help or received answers to my questions. It starts to be annoying, really.
[14:31] <Docteh> b0rdel: i dont think there is one, works with virtualbox, probably kvm as well
[14:31] <loopidity> is there any client for ubuntu thats works in substitution of KDX client?
[14:32] <queso> Oh, apparently the bug has been reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-application/+bug/569273  I guess I'll just wait on a fix.
[14:32] <Docteh> diey0sa: did you get like <xml><tags /><galore /></xml>?

[14:33] <b0rdel> Docteh: cause https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue76/ says that runs kvm
[14:33] <jelly_eyed_jim> how can i run windows apps of a cd in wine
[14:33] <unimatrix> how do i increase the scroll wheel polling speed in ubuntu ?
[14:33] <diey0sa> please tell me if u can read the content
[14:33] <jelly_eyed_jim> how can i run windows apps of a cd in wine

[14:33] <SirMoo> jelly_eyed_jim, not really a need to spam that.
[14:34] <jelly_eyed_jim> ok
[14:34] <jelly_eyed_jim> but i don't wanna run windows
[14:34] <jelly_eyed_jim> i'm asking how to do it in linux
[14:34] <anirvana> someone please help me cure this error : "Kernel :panic-not syncing:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block[8,5]" . :(
[14:35] <Docteh> diey0sa: that looks like garbage
[14:35] <iceroot> jelly_eyed_jim: wine /path/to/cd/and/your/exe
[14:35] <diey0sa> no..it is really file..u also cant open it?
[14:35] <bazhang> jelly_eyed_jim, check the appdb and /join #winehq
[14:35] <bazhang> !appdb | jelly_eyed_jim
[14:35] <jelly_eyed_jim> kk thanks
[14:35] <piko> anirvana, hello, it seems your linux can not boot as it does not find its root partition
[14:35] <Docteh> i can open it but i dont see xml
[14:36] <diey0sa> can u see the text?
[14:36] <b0rdel> http://www.ubuntu.com/server/features/virtualisation
[14:36] <Docteh> no
[14:36] <b0rdel> got it.. thanks
[14:36] <anirvana> piko , exactly It can't and I have a hell lot of work stuck inside it :(
[14:36] <diey0sa> same with me..i try it about 1 month already
[14:36] <anirvana> piko , This happened after I installed wireless driver into it
[14:37] <SirMoo> Is it possible to boot from a live CD and recover those files anirvana?
[14:37] <jelly_eyed_jim> everytime i click on the an auto run file and set it up for wine it says that The file '/media/TRA/autorun.exe' is not marked as executable
[14:37] <Docteh> anirvana: why is it refering to sda5 as unknown-block? did you forget the initrd?
[14:37] <jelly_eyed_jim> everytime i click on the an auto run file and set it up for wine it says that The file '/media/TRA/autorun.exe' is not marked as executable
[14:37] <Docteh> !repeat | jelly_eyed_jim
[14:37] <bazhang> jelly_eyed_jim, did you do as I suggested?
[14:37] <piko> jelly_eyed_jim, do not be surprised that people are not pleased to ask this kind of question if you can speak english, try google something like wine howto, then check wine database if the program you want to run is erported to be ok with wine and ask in winehq channel if needed
[14:37] <jelly_eyed_jim> sorry i'll stop
[14:37] <diey0sa> or can u tell me what happen to that file??before i have no problem to open xml file..this is really2 weird
[14:37] <bazhang> jelly_eyed_jim, did you check the appdb?
[14:38] <anirvana> Docteh , I have no idea, I just installed wireless driver and rebooted, after that I couldn't start it again!
[14:38] <anirvana> SirMoo , Can't I repair it?
[14:38] <piko> anirvana, well, first, you need to run another linux on the machine, so burn a live linux cd if you do not have one and boot to it
[14:38] <iceroot> jelly_eyed_jim: as i told you, wine /path/to/the/file   double-click is not working because +x is not set
[14:39] <jelly_eyed_jim> ok
[14:39] <anirvana> piko , Can't I repair the existing one?
[14:39] <furuno> how can I set JAVA_HOME environment variable in 10.04? I'm using sun-jdk6.
[14:39] <erUSUL> furuno: /etc/environment ? youre own .bashrc or .profile ?
[14:40] <rafaelsoaresbr> why does my wireless connection often disconnect?
[14:40] <Docteh> anirvana: try the older kernel option?
[14:40] <furuno> erUSUL: is my .profile enough?
[14:40] <piko> anirvana, of course yes, the live distro is just to get booted, then you can mount existing partition and correct the mistake in grub configuration and all will be ok
[14:40] <_Y00_H00_> sorry
[14:40] <anirvana> Docteh , OK
[14:41] <anirvana> piko , Do I need to reinstall ubuntu all over again?
[14:41] <piko> anirvana, also, probably try to start other grub entries (recovery lines, other kernels)
[14:41] <piko> anirvana, not
[14:41] <erUSUL> rafaelsoaresbr: buggy driver ? see if installing linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic helps
[14:41] <erUSUL> furuno: if you are only interested in using java with your user it may be enough
[14:41] <anirvana> ok guys brb in 10 minutes , lemme try to boot the older krnels
[14:42] <piko> anirvana, if your partion is okay (which is the most likely case) then your installation/data ... will be preserved, this is just a way how to get to the system and repair the configuration
[14:42] <furuno> erUSUL: so is it /usr/bin/java or /usr/lib/jvm or something else
[14:43] <rafaelsoaresbr> erUSUL, sorry, i'm running Karmic. is it similar?
[14:43] <erUSUL> rafaelsoaresbr: yes just s/lucid/karmic/
[14:44] <erUSUL> furuno: something like --- /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/ ?? (in my case i have only openjdkjre installed)
[14:45] <furuno> erUSUL: then I guess it should be /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun then, thanks!
[14:45] <erUSUL> furuno: probably
[14:46] <thune3> queso: looks like a bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/indicator-application/+bug/569273 possible fix is available in karmic-proposed and should be making it to standard updates at some point
[14:46] <thune3> *lucid-proposed
[14:49] <furuno> erUSUL: yep it's all done, many thanks!
[14:49] <erUSUL> furuno: no problem
[14:49] <unimatrix> how do i increase the scroll wheel polling speed in ubuntu ?
[14:51] <furuno> unimatrix: I don't think you can do that globally, but you should be able to do it on per-application basis
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> unimatrix:  if you got a logitech mouse theres that 3rd party drivers/tools from hidpoint.com (or was it hidpoint.org)
[14:54] <Tarkers> Hello, does anyone know how I can register my nickname on here?
[14:54] <mmfb> How do you make folders hidden?
[14:54] <anirvana> Docteh , piko :I can boot in through old kernels, but Can I fix the newer one?Moreover my wifi also wasn't working in the older kernel!
[14:54] <LjL> !register > Tarkers    (Tarkers, see the private message from ubottu)
[14:55] <Dr_Willis> mmfb:  hidding files/dirs is normally by just putting a . at the start of the name
[14:55] <Tarkers> !register Tarkers
[14:55] <Tarkers> !register
[14:55] <furuno> mmfb: add a dot (.) in front of your file / folder
[14:55] <erUSUL> mmfb: put a dot as first char in the name
[14:55] <piko> anirvana, good, then paste somewhere your menu.lst
[14:56] <piko> anirvana, more precisely /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:57] <piko> anirvana, jsut to bude sure, what version of grub are you using? grub-legacy or grub2_
[14:59] <testnick> hi
[14:59] <anirvana> piko , Ah I will have to reboot to try this command.I have a dual boot system
[14:59] <Tarkers> Hello, I'm very new to Ubuntu still and I'm not quite sure how to install a theme.  I've downloaded a .tar.gz of a login screen, I'm just not sure how to put it into action.  I'm running Lucid Lynx, thanks.
[14:59] <slava_dp> what Xorg version is in 10.04?
[15:00] <anirvana> piko, Can you tell me the steps to make my new krnel working?
[15:00] <piko> anirvana, no problem, I am here, just quote me
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Tarkers:  gdm has undergone radical changes  in 10.04 - the old themes wont work.
[15:00] <anirvana> ok
[15:00] <piko> anirvana, wait
[15:00] <Tarkers> Thanks Dr_Willis, do you happen to know where I can find some themes that will work?
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Tarkers:   You can change the wallpaper gdm uses easially. or a few other little tweaks.  Theres some themes in the repos also for it. but i never bother doing more then changing the wallpaper
[15:01] <furuno> Tarkers: for thems other than login screen, you can visit: gnome-look.org
[15:01] <Tarkers> Ok, thanks everyone.
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> There used to be a tool called 'epidermis' that let you do come gdm2 theme changeing.. but last i tried it.. it dident work very well
[15:01] <sapersi> my firefox occasionally says could not establish a connection on any page, is the only solution to restart?
[15:02] <piko> anirvana, first, paste the menu.lst, then check if there is not any discrepancy like diferent root= ... if initramfs image is present ... then try dpkg-reconfigure <kernel-package-name> to check if there are no errors in this phase
[15:02] <furuno> sapersi: connection problem? found this quite often on my friend's pc
[15:02] <p1l0t> Ok seriously why does smbmount ask me for a password when I specify a credentials filename with credentials=filename? (#samba idle)
[15:02] <piko> anirvana, then we can try something more
[15:02] <Docteh> anirvana: also check in /boot or w/e for the initrd file
[15:02] <sapersi> yea it says that, but everything is setup correct and working properly except firefox
[15:03] <usuario> carmen
[15:03] <usuario> olas a todos
[15:03] <sapersi> furuno: what did you friend do?
[15:03] <sapersi> que pasa jue?
[15:03] <Hans_Henrik> when i put a blank DVD in my computer, then tries to boot to recovery mode, it goes fine till a point where it just starts spamming i/o error cant read sector 0 src blabla, i guess thats a bug? (restarted 4 times to check, and first time i removed the dvd it was all fine)
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> p1l0t:  with samba - when in doubt.. i reread the 'samba-doc' (3 books i think) that are in the samba-doc package.  (ive never used credentials befor)
[15:04] <usuario> no sabeis espeak español
[15:04] <furuno> sapersi: restarting his modem and complaining to the ISP :|
[15:04] <sapersi> hahaha i had to restart the pc, just doing the modem didnt do anything
[15:04] <maeon3> Hans_henrik:  Sounds like the hard drive, have you tried booting to a different hard drive?
[15:05] <Hans_Henrik> maeon3: no, and no. sounds like the black DVD to me. i cannot boot recovery mode with a blank DVD inserted :p
[15:05] <Hans_Henrik> blank*
[15:05] <p1l0t> Dr_Willis I will give that a shot, seems the syntax is correct according to the manual though maybe something I should report to them..
[15:05] <furuno> is there's anyway to set up different wallpaper on each monitor other than using nitrogen?
[15:06] <rhl6856> Hi, I'm  in the middle of an upgrade using the apt gui 9.04 -> 10.*. The mirrors that are picked where terrible and i'm d/l at 1,000B/s. Is there a way to make it pick new mirrors?
[15:06] <sapersi> usuario: necesito mas mota, me puede ayudar
[15:06] <furuno> rhl6856: change your mirror from System > Administration > Software Sources, choose the one that's closest to you
[15:06] <maeon3> Ah, so taking the DVD out everything works fine.  Maybe it attempts to read the blank DVD.
[15:07] <{g}> Interesting: Everybody says one should use aptitude instead of apt-get. But when trying to start a not installed app, Ubuntu suggests to apt-get install it. Is there a reason for this?
[15:07] <Hans_Henrik> maeon3: yep think so, and i guess its a bug that it prevent the os from booting :p
[15:07] <rhl6856> furuno, thanks alot.
[15:07] <furuno> rhl6856: no problem
[15:07] <Hans_Henrik> could someone else check if they get the same issue with a blank dvd and recovery mode?
[15:07] <rhl6856> furuno, will this change the active download mirror?
[15:08] <sapersi> furuno thanks as well
[15:08] <Docteh> {g}: its to remind people that aptitude exists because everyone forgets about it ;)
[15:08] <Gibby> Anyone have any luck with nouveau and NV50 for dual head?
[15:08] <furuno> rhl6856: I guess you'll need to stop and resume the download (don't really sure though)
[15:08] <{g}> Docteh: WHAT reminds that aptitude exists?
[15:08] <furuno> sapersi: no problem
[15:09] <maeon3> Hans_Henrik:  Have you tried it with a blank CD as well as a DVD?
[15:09] <Hans_Henrik> nope
[15:09] <furuno> rhl6856: but I think it won't redownload (just continue from what you've already have)
[15:09] <shoopdawoop> {g}: I think ubuntu suggests apt-get because synpatics uses apt-get and mixing apt-get and aptitude is not a good idea
[15:09] <Hans_Henrik> maeon3: dont got a blank cd available atm
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  aptitude is gettign removed from the default install in the next release last i heard.
[15:09] <Docteh> {g}: telling people to use it instead of apt-get kind of works as a reminder, they both work the same way but I guess you can query more information about dependancies when you do something like apt-get yakuake and you're wondering why theres a million deps
[15:09] <sapersi> furuno: you ever want free drinks or tickets, I have music on 31 radio stations, XM, EA Games, and I perform with Bone Thugs N Harmony.
[15:10] <sapersi> furuno: your help much appreciated usually i ask a question and receive insults
[15:10] <{g}> shoopdawoop: interestinig
[15:10] <furuno> sapersi: well, this is not /g/ :)
[15:10] <sapersi> furuno: but then again thats on #hackthissite
[15:10] <{g}> Docteh: i dont understand what you mean. i did not get told to use aptitude.
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> Ive had aptitude do some odd things ages ago.. it wasnted to remove, then reinstalled 300 packages.. Still not sure why it did that. :)  May of been some oddity in the packages i had.
[15:11] <maeon3> Hans_Henrik: that's a bizarre bug, maybe its a corrupt cd rom drive?
[15:11] <Docteh> {g}: then i totally misread what you first said
[15:11] <{g}> Dr_Willis: why dont they replace apt-get with aptitude?
[15:11] <Gibby> Anyone know where I can get nouveau support? Their IRC channel is "read only"
[15:11] <sapersi> furuno: 4chan?
[15:11] <{g}> Docteh: yes
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  why bother. personally ive never really seen much benifit in using aptitude.  One of the reasions they are removeing it (i hear) is to trim down yet more space for other stuff on the cd.
[15:12] <Docteh> well apt-get runs faster if you're just installing something
[15:12] <shoopdawoop> aptitude really isn't "better" than apt-get, it's more a matter of taste
[15:12] <Pici> Gibby: You'll need to be registered and identified to talk there.
[15:12] <Pici> !register > Gibby
[15:12] <LjL> shoopdawoop: well, it undeniably has more features than apt-get
[15:12] <Hans_Henrik> maeon3: maybe. but doubt it, used it to write some movies (supernatural season 1) yesterday, and it worked fine when i putted it in the dvd-player ^^
[15:12] <Docteh> too bad they cant get packages to cut down on fat
[15:12] <furuno> sapersi: what else :) anyway let's try to stay on topic shall we
[15:13] <m4rtijn> hi all
[15:13] <keyboard> anyone can help
[15:13] <furuno> !ask | keyboard
[15:13] <sapersi> furuno: i thought i saw billy goats, i had to man the bridge
[15:13] <{g}> Dr_Willis: i heard that aptitude removes dependencies that are no longer needed. i never quite understood that because everything seems to be a dependency so that would mean apt-get is not removing anything when uninstalling.
[15:13] <m4rtijn> could somebody tell me how I can find out where the mysql server files are being installed on ubuntu 10
[15:13] <Hans_Henrik> {g}: isn't that same as apt-get autoremove ?
[15:13] <keyboard> i can't install nvidia
[15:13] <keyboard> 8400gs
[15:13] <Gibby> ubottu, thanks
[15:14] <furuno> m4rtijn: the data files or the application excutable?
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  i think it only removes them in that case IF you used aptitude to install the packages also.. but ive never really had much of a need to  uninstall stuff :)
[15:14] <scyx> does anyone know what dmask/fmask i have to specify in fstab to turn off that annoying executable bit on ntfs partitions?
[15:14] <m4rtijn> furuno: actualy im looking for the config files..
[15:14] <{g}> Hans_Henrik: i dont know. googling for "aptitude vs apt-get" brings up a ton of pages that say aptitude removes better :)
[15:14] <keyboard> it's NVIDIA-Linux-x86-190.53-pkg1.run
[15:14] <LjL> {g}: err, dependencies are packages that a package depends on. so when you remove package "foo", package "foo" itself definitely does get removed - if you use aptitude (or specify 'autoremove' on apt-get), then also its dependencies get removed.
[15:14] <Gibby> Pici, thanks
[15:14] <Pici> Gibby: You're welcome :)
[15:14] <m4rtijn> furuno: but I installed it with aptitude isnt there a way to display what has been installed and where to?
[15:14] <LjL> Hans_Henrik: it's the same concept, although it's not the same implementation
[15:14] <furuno> m4rtijn: try /etc/
[15:15] <{g}> LjL: so no benefit of aptitude over apt-get? its all fud?
[15:15] <Gibby> I have been trying to get this working for 3 days, have reloaded 10.04 about 15 times now
[15:15] <Rigorm0rtis> Hello, I am running into what I think might be a kernel bug in the latest ubuntu release. Simply put, when writing a very large file (a disk image) to the drive the entire system crashes. It doesn't matter if I am using Samba (over cifs) or tunneling the file over ssh. The system crashes around 60GB of data every time.
[15:15] <LjL> {g}: aptitude has much better search features.
[15:15] <LjL> {g}: it also is supposed to handle conflict situations better, or at least differently.
[15:15] <m4rtijn> ubuntu should be able to tell me which files have been installed and where.. for any package.. or not?
[15:15] <Rigorm0rtis> {g}: isn't aptitude just a frontend to apt-get anyways?
[15:15] <LjL> Rigorm0rtis: no
[15:15] <{g}> LjL: search features? i dont search much. conflicts? i dont know about them.
[15:16] <m4rtijn> the "ubuntu software center" is shit
[15:16] <Docteh> {g}: you're comparing two slightly different can openers, but one of them you already have and cant get rid of ;)
[15:16] <m4rtijn> :p
[15:16] <{g}> Rigorm0rtis: google "aptitude vs apt-get" there is a ton of stuff.
[15:16] <LjL> !language | m4rtijn
[15:16] <furuno> m4rtijn: usually not :), but in linux, config is usually in /etc/
[15:16] <m4rtijn> it has no details
[15:16] <m4rtijn> furuno: hm, okay thanks
[15:16] <LjL> m4rtijn: use Synaptic then, for additional detail and features
[15:16] <Hajex> Hi... can I install photoshop CS5 11 in ubuntu??
[15:16] <Docteh> m4rtijn: someone should mock up a better one maybe
[15:16] <nehyx> Rigorm0rtis: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=359833 << See
[15:16] <Docteh> Hajex: check the wine app db maybe
[15:16] <Vroomfondle> Hajex: not CS5, no (last time I checked)
[15:16] <furuno> Docteh: mintinstall or the old add/remove programs is much better
[15:17] <Vroomfondle> earlier versions of Photoshop run in Wine
[15:17] <Vroomfondle> !wine
[15:17] <thune3> m4rtijn: package manifests are in /var/lib/dpkg/info/
[15:17] <m4rtijn> thune3: excellent, thanks
[15:17] <abhijain> hello
[15:17] <furuno> !hi | abhijain
[15:17] <abhijain> any body tell me how can i remove application in ubuntu which is not properly installed
[15:17] <tvon> shouldnt passwordless remote login work across accounts?  eg my local user1 id_rsa.pub in my remote user2 .ssh/authorized_keys... that should work, right?
[15:18] <furuno> abhijain: not properly installed? more details please?
[15:18] <LjL> abhijain: what do you mean by not properly installed?
[15:18] <Hajex> Thanks for all ^_^
[15:19] <scyx> does anyone know what dmask/fmask i have to specify in fstab to turn off that annoying executable bit on ntfs partitions?
[15:19] <abhijain> furuno: due to slow network connection installation stopped and now its giving error
[15:19] <queso> How can I get any of these audio-streams to play in Rhythmbox?  I've tried "New Internet Radio Station" but it doesn't work.  http://www.wcpe.org/internet.shtml
[15:19] <furuno> abhijain: is the error message contain something like "can't lock ...."
[15:20] <abhijain> furuno: repair this application
[15:20] <datta> my top bar is not showing up at all, I had made some changes with the theme and now it's not up yet
[15:20] <furuno> abhijain: try "sudo apt-get install -f"
[15:21] <BluesKaj> abhijain, in the terminal , sudo fuser -vki -TERM /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo dpkg --configure -a
[15:21] <datta> I try to change it to other themes but it's all the same
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> scyx:  i think the ntfs-3g homepage/docs/examples  show. I always have to try differemtn masks till i figure it out
[15:21] <anirvana> Docteh , piko : That's my grup.lst : http://pastebin.mozilla.org/735651
[15:22] <BluesKaj> abhijain, if that still gives broken pkg errors run , sudo dpkg --clear-avail
[15:22] <furuno> datta: try logging out and logging in back, it's a bug with gnome-panel I guess
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> scyx:  i recall you just need to change the fmask, not the dmask
[15:22] <anirvana> Docteh , piko : /boot/ contains initrd.img-2.6.31-14.generic and  initrd.img-2.6.31-22.generic
[15:22] <Tao> I'm trying to install Clonezilla. Can anybody help me with that?
[15:22] <datta> furuno: it's not the panel, it's each window's top bar that's missing
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> datta:  if you mean the windows titlebars. try alt-f2  and run 'metacity --replace' to see if they come back
[15:23] <furuno> datta: press ALT+F2 and type in "metacity --replace" the hit enter
[15:24] <hearthrob> hi

[15:25] <Dr_Willis> {g}:  untill you fsck a drive and find stuff you needed in there....
[15:25] <furuno> hearthrob: maybe try to wait a little longer? old hdd is slow you know...
[15:25] <BluesKaj> hearthrob, yes , it's waiting for you to make a choice
[15:25] <Docteh> anirvana: are you using grub2? try /boot/grub/grub.cfg or menu.cfg hmmm
[15:25] <hearthrob> with a dialog box that contains ???

[15:28] <bintut> anyone here able to fix the adobe flash player keep on crashing on ubuntu lucid 64bit?
[15:28] <bintut> [84050.107849] npviewer.bin[30765]: segfault at 418 ip 00000000f6036a56 sp 00000000ffa53978 error 6 in libflashplayer.so[f5de8000+b04000]
[15:28] <furuno> bintut: on what site?
[15:29] <bintut> furuno: there's no specific site..
[15:29] <bintut> furuno: as long as the site is accessing flash
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> bintut:  i think there was a update to flash  in the last few days.. but im not sure what repos they were in.
[15:29] <papertigers> anyone know if its possible to connect to an active X session using somethign like X -query [host] :0
[15:29] <furuno> bintut: it just crashed on any flash site? can you view video in youtube?
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> that may of been 32bit only however.
[15:30] <BluesKaj> hearthrob, burn gparted to a live cd and use it to format the hdd to ext3 or ext4
[15:30] <bintut> Dr_Willis: hhmmm..
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> papertigers:  clarify what you mean by 'connect'   You dont just take over a whole X session without using somting like vnc.
[15:30] <Docteh> anirvana: well make a copy of that other initrd, the -14 one, name it like swish.img or something just in case you screw it up, then fiddle with the tool that makes initramfs and see if theres an error
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> papertigers:  you can force an app to run on a session by setting the proper DISPLAY variable, and using xhost to allow the connection i recall
[15:30] <bintut> furuno: yes. the side effect is on the user's perspective, it is very slow then it will eat a lot of cpu load
[15:31] <Swish> whoa whoa with the using Swish(tm) as your image name!
[15:31]  * Swish wants royalties! ;)
[15:31] <Docteh> anirvana: update-initramfs
[15:31] <furuno> bintut: which method you're using to install flash?
[15:31] <scyx> Dr_Willis: afaik you need both. defualt is umask=007, which is -rwxrwx---.. directories need x though, so i guess fmask should be 117, which would be -rw-rw----
[15:31] <bintut> furuno: everything package installed on my system were installed using apt-get
[15:31] <anirvana> Doctech : My wifi isn't working on it either, how would I update?
[15:32] <Vcache> Hi got a prob with libR.so http://nopaste.info/14bbe305bb.html
[15:32] <bintut> s/everything/every
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> scyx:  you can set dmask and fmask and not umask.. (i recall) but i alweya play with it till i get it right
[15:32] <Docteh> anirvana: it gets built with stuff thats on the hard drive
[15:32] <furuno> bintut: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer?
[15:32] <papertigers> Dr_Willis: yeah basically connect via X withouth vnc or something
[15:32] <Vcache> can i link it somehow?
[15:32] <bintut> furuno: yes, including flashplugin-nonfree
[15:32] <anirvana> Docteh : Ohk so can try this command offline?
[15:32] <furuno> bintut: driver problem maybe?
[15:32] <Docteh> anirvana: yea
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> papertigers:  connect as in have a X app be seen Locally? (where you are sitting) or remotely? where the X is being displayed?
[15:33] <Docteh> also initrd.img-2.6.31-22.generic <-- how big is that file?
[15:33] <momo> hi
[15:33] <anirvana> ok
[15:33] <bintut> furuno: i don't think it's a driver problem
[15:34] <hearthrob> BluesKaj: the hard drive s currently a mix of ntfs, fat, ext3 and reiserfs
[15:35] <furuno> bintut: hmm, I'm here on linux mint 9 (10.04 derivative) with mint-flashplugin-installer-x64, which is flash <IP_ADDRESS>...
[15:35] <bintut> furuno: what i have is <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[15:35] <furuno> bintut: the ubuntu version is 10.1.53
[15:35] <BluesKaj> hearthrob, so what do you want to save on the hdd, anything /
[15:36] <furuno> bintut: maybe the new version is problematic?
[15:36] <bintut> furuno: which is even newer
[15:36] <turgon> hello. How can i change the color of the tabs in the gnome terminal?
[15:36] <hearthrob> i use it more often for development and testing, and there are a lot of files i don't want to lose
[15:36] <furuno> bintut: 10.1.53 newer than 10.0.45
[15:36] <fasta> My fscks are _extremely_ slow since lucid. Is that a known problem?>
[15:37] <MoleMan> my ubuntu 10.04 is messed up
[15:37] <somekool> hi there
[15:37] <furuno> bintu: flash 10.1 is not that stable on *nix I guess...
[15:37] <bintut> furuno: maybe.. but i need proof.. but, you're not encountering any problem on your flash, right? you will normally found it out when you execute "dmesg"
[15:37] <furuno> bintut: smooth sailing here with 10.0
[15:37] <somekool> I just did the usual package upgrade and it did corrupt my grub config. and I cannot boot anymore. I'm setup with LUKS and dm-crypt.
[15:37] <slack_fish> i need help...i want to know,where jpeglib.h
[15:37] <MoleMan> my ubuntu 10.04 icons have changed, i cant change settings, i have no task bar and system tray, my windows dont have decorations so i can minimise. please help!
[15:38] <furuno> bintut: isn't 10.1 use GPU to unload some of the workload from CPU
[15:38] <furuno> MoleMan: what did you do?
[15:38] <BluesKaj> hearthrob, well, choose a partition for ubuntu and format it to ext4 for lucid or karmic.. the ??? are probly for an unrecognized partition
[15:38] <MoleMan> furuno: the last thing i did was install the alsa sound stuff because my sounds wasnt working
[15:38] <jenda> In Lucid, I have no volume control applet. Sound works, but there is no applet on the panel.
[15:39] <avatar_project> witajcie
[15:39] <jenda> Anyone know how I can fix that?
[15:39] <bintut> furuno: i don't know.. actually, i'm a 3 days old ubuntu user and i finally decided to use it in an office network as ltsp x terminal server
[15:39] <hanlin> jenda: try starting gnome-volume-control-applet
[15:39] <furuno> MoleMan: maybe first, try press ALT+F2 and then run "metacity --replace"
[15:40] <jenda> hanlin: bingo
[15:40] <MoleMan> furuno: have done that already. will try again. alt+F2 doesnt work
[15:40] <BluesKaj> anyway , I have to go ...
[15:40] <jenda> hanlin: thanks, if it disappears again, I'll just add it as a startup command
[15:40] <furuno> MoleMan: can you open terminal?
[15:40] <hanlin> jenda: yeah, you need to set it to start on startup
[15:40] <MoleMan> furuno: yes
[15:41] <HannibalWagner> Hey, is there a way to put the Alt-F2 command into AWN???
[15:41] <furuno> MoleMan: try typing "matacity --replace" there
[15:41] <MoleMan> furuno: to me it seems like ubuntu is loading into safe mode or something.
[15:41] <furuno> MoleMan: safe mode ubuntu is text only
[15:42] <raven> hi
[15:42] <furuno> MoleMan: *i mean "metacity --replace"
