[03:38] <JJman> Bravewolf: You need to enable in pulseaudio manager the ability for multiple sounds to be played simultaneously otherwise skype tends to break your sound
[03:38] <ZykoticK9> Hilikus, in Services no - but i'd use use mickster04's suggestion - which might be current session only
[03:39] <Hilikus> i don't want in the current session
[03:39] <Hilikus> i want to disable it at bootup
[03:39] <Hilikus> i.e. never start it!
[03:39] <ZykoticK9> Hilikus, then Services
[03:39] <mickster04> Hilikus, well look at startup stuff
[03:39] <Hilikus> ok
[03:39] <user_> Hi all what lib shall i install to see youtube streaming on totem? because it doesn't work for me right now. it says that there's a genral error with libraries. thanks in advance (btw, i am on karmic koala but i think it's not karmic issue, so i asked here...)
[03:39] <Bravewolf> JJman: the sound works.... the problem is the HUGE delay. probably i've not understood your suggestion...
[03:40] <mickster04> Hilikus, just realised im ysing karmic RC so it will be called Services:/
[03:40] <mickster04> user_, flash?
[03:40] <Hilikus> you guys are giving me different info but fyi mickster04 i don't have it in startup apps, the only bluetooth i have there is the applet. nothing about the daemon
[03:40] <user_> mickster04 i have gnash installed and does not work anyway
[03:40] <mickster04> Hilikus, yeah my bad
[03:40] <JJman> Bravewolf: well perhaps i don't have an answer to your problem then.   But i know that simultaneous use of Skype and other applications is not possible by default.  (possibly could be the reason for you latency issue, i don't know)
[03:41] <mickster04> user_, gnash?
[03:41] <Bravewolf> JJman: the strange fact is the on hardy it worked very well...
[03:41] <user_> yes
[03:41] <harrison-bergero> ARGH
[03:41] <harrison-bergero> help
[03:41] <mickster04> user_, i havent heard of gnash
[03:41] <mickster04> harrison-bergero, wassup
[03:42] <harrison-bergero> so linux to windows...moving files gives a connection time out error
[03:42] <Scunizi> JJman: just thinking.. have you googled "3g modem ubuntu" at www.google.com/linux ?
[03:42] <JJman> harrison-bergero: probably not authenticating properly
[03:42] <ari_stress> why the man page says apt-get dist-upgrade is 'smarter' than apt-get upgrade? if so, why don't we just use apt-get dist-upgrade?
[03:42] <JJman> Scunizi: yes.  thats what sorta got me in this mess.
[03:42] <mickster04> harrison-bergero, are us send to or copying from?
[03:42] <harrison-bergero> using VNC into windows to move linux to windows from inside windows gives "the specified network name is no longer available"
[03:42] <user_> mickster04 uhm i try to install flash-nonfree
[03:42] <harrison-bergero> what gives!
[03:43] <mickster04> user_, you have or you are?
[03:43] <JJman> Scunizi: i was following some steps for an nearly identical model (mines a tad newer then the instructions i was following)  and its not working
[03:43] <Scunizi> ari_stress: you use them both.. dist-upgrade looks to upgrade packages to the next version.. upgrade does patches to existing packages.
[03:43] <harrison-bergero> mickster04...copying from linux to windows
[03:43] <mneptok> user_: flashplugin-nonfree
[03:43] <user_> mickster04: why?
[03:44] <user_> yes mneptok
[03:44] <harrison-bergero> from inside linux or windows i get two different errors
[03:44] <user_> right
[03:44] <Scunizi> JJman: one of those niggley frustrating things
[03:44] <JJman> yea i've spent hours and hours on it
[03:44] <Hilikus> can someone take a look at my bootchart and tell me if there's something i can do to speedup bootup time
[03:44] <mneptok> user_: so what's the problem?
[03:44] <Hilikus> http://imagebin.ca/view/skDp9d.html
[03:44] <mickster04> harrison-bergero, so your in windows reading from the linux folder or your in linux copying to the windows? i cant work out that scenario?
[03:44] <demonspork> what is a good method for CPU stress testing in Ubuntu?
[03:44] <mickster04> harrison-bergero, oic
[03:44] <Guest55246> how do I go back to windows using an iso and a usb flash drive from ubuntu 8.10
[03:44] <harrison-bergero> mickster04....i was in linux, copy to windows
[03:45] <harrison-bergero> then I VNCed into windows and tried to copy from linux into windows
[03:45] <mickster04> harrison-bergero, and you've tried the other way round?
[03:45] <AntiStrange> can someone help me with how I would dual boot ubuntu with windows 7? I already have windows 7 (only) installed on this box. Link?
[03:45] <harrison-bergero> yeah, inside linux, windows to linux works fine
[03:45] <mickster04> Guest55246, what do you mean?
[03:45] <Guest55246> well I am trying to go back to windows
[03:46] <mickster04> harrison-bergero, so why dont you keep goin tha wya/
[03:46] <almoxarife> AntiStrange: I would recommend wubi
[03:46] <mickster04> Guest55246, use the windows install disk?
[03:46] <harrison-bergero> mickster04...have to move files off of linux onto windows
[03:46] <Willy_> hi
[03:46] <Scunizi> AntiStrange: typically use the windows tools to defrage a couple of times and to shrink your windows partition leaving enough room for ubuntu.. then the ubuntu installer will recognize the unpartitioned space and use it.
[03:46] <Willy_> how do you guys install an iso file in ubuntu
[03:46] <Guest55246> have an iso my comp crashed a while back and I had to go to linux...  don't have an install cd, just an iso
[03:47] <harrison-bergero> only seems to be working in one direction....windows to linux....and i dont need that
[03:47] <AntiStrange> almoxarife: will that put ubuntu on a separate partition? or is that more of a virtual machine thing?
[03:47] <mickster04> harrison-bergero, well the way u copied them from one to the other, from whichever operating system, use that one again to do the reverse?
[03:47] <Scunizi> Willy_: what iso?
[03:47] <Dorian2> if oyu name a file .bak does it show up as .backup?
[03:47] <Willy_> I installed a file
[03:47] <JJman> Is anyone  familiar with creating udev rules here & how they are implemented.
[03:47] <AntiStrange> Scunizi: so there won't be any problems? I've heard that sometimes windows won't recognize the new install and will just go straight to windows.
[03:47] <Willy_> I mean downloaded a file from http://www.mythbuntu.org/
[03:47] <user_> mneptok: the problem is that i cant play youtube videos in streaming from totem
[03:47] <harrison-bergero> mickster04....reverse doesnt work.  No method from linux to windows works...the operation stops
[03:47] <Jack_d_Lantern> !iso
[03:47] <mickster04> Guest55246, well u need a disk, so use the live session to urn it
[03:48] <Willy_> awesome
[03:48] <almoxarife> AntiStrange: its more of an in between, the system runs off of one file in windows, bit you will have to decide which system to boot
[03:48] <mickster04> burn*
[03:48] <Scunizi> Willy_: you can load it in a vm in virtual box
[03:48] <harrison-bergero> this has got to be the oddest thing ive have ever seen
[03:48] <Scunizi> AntiStrange: not typically.  How can I boot from a usb?
[03:48] <mickster04> harrison-bergero, use a usb drive?:p
[03:48] <Willy_> i know you can install it from terminal
[03:48] <Jack_d_Lantern> harrison-bergero, you could easily have the win drive set to read only
[03:48] <mickster04> Willy_, ur usb pen, boot iff it to burn a disk
[03:48] <user_> mickster04 why did you told that thing before? gnash really exists, it's a different flash
[03:49] <Tiders> What is the terminal command to mount all drives listen in fstab?
[03:49] <mickster04> user_, i said i didnt know of it
[03:49] <Jordan_U_> Tiders: mount -a
[03:49] <JJman> mount -a ?
[03:49] <Scunizi> Willy_: that iso is a whole OS .. so no.. you can't install it from inside of ubuntu
[03:49] <Willy_> is there a way to install it from terminal
[03:49] <Jack_d_Lantern> Tiders, mount -a
[03:49] <Tiders> Jordan_U_, Got it :)
[03:49] <harrison-bergero> mickster04...40gb of files
[03:49] <harrison-bergero> need a big USBdrive
[03:49] <mickster04> lol
[03:49] <user_> mickster04: yes but you also said "you have or you are?" I mean that
[03:49] <mickster04> im out of ideas
[03:49] <almoxarife> if they are listed on fstab didn't they mount on boot already?
[03:50] <Willy_> hey how can i install mythtv from terminal
[03:50] <user_> mneptok: the problem is that i cant play youtube videos in streaming, from totem
[03:50] <JJman> sudo apt-get install mythtv
[03:50] <JJman> ?
[03:50] <Tiders> Whats the command to copy a file from one place to another?
[03:50] <mneptok> user_: yes, because you have a Flash *plugin* for a web browser
[03:50] <harrison-bergero> this has got to be the most useless error ive ever seen....why does it copy from windows to linux but not the other way around?!?
[03:50] <mneptok> Tiders: cp
[03:51] <mickster04> user_, well u said something aboutflash non free but didnt say whether u had it or were goin to install it
[03:51] <jhb1608> how od I force uninstall a program manually in Wine
[03:51] <Scunizi> Tiders: cp /path/to/file/<file> /place/it's/going
[03:51] <almoxarife> harrison, windows is firewalled?
[03:51] <JJman> harrison-bergero: as i said already.  its probably an authentication issue.  I've had that problem many times.
[03:51] <user_> mickster04 oh, ok sorry
[03:51] <Willy_> thx jjman
[03:51] <Tiders> Scunizi, Thanks
[03:51] <jhb1608> how do I force uninstall a program manually in Wine?
[03:51] <Tiders> Scunizi, Does that work with copying folders too?
[03:51] <harrison-bergero> JJman...what does that mean?
[03:51] <krammer_> anyone good with burning with k3b
[03:51] <jhb1608> I do
[03:51] <JJman> lol.  Wine.  I can't anything to uninstall in wine properly so i manually delete the files
[03:52] <mneptok> krammer_: try #kubuntu
[03:52] <jhb1608> krammer_ I can help you with this k3b
[03:52] <Scunizi> Tiders: little different.. cp -r /folder /new/location
[03:52] <user_> mneptok totem has a plugin to see videos in streaming
[03:52] <Ninad> I am new user of Ubuntu
[03:52] <krammer_> thanks it is an iso
[03:52] <JJman> krammer_: k3b is pretty straight forward!
[03:52] <user_> mneptok: i can search the videos but  cant play them
[03:52] <jhb1608> JJman, let me help :|
[03:52] <harrison-bergero> JJman...could you describe your solution to the authentication issue you've had many times?
[03:52] <mneptok> user_: yes, but that does not include Flash content, as what you have is specifically a Firefox plugin
[03:52] <user_> mneptok: do you know about the totem plugin?
[03:52] <jhb1608> krammer_, what is the problem with k3b?
[03:52] <SkyHigh> i have just installed xubuntu on my desktop, and went to youtube, it told me to install the flash plugins and so i did, but now when i goto youtube and select a video and try to watch it, the video area just stays black and doesnt change...
[03:53] <krammer_> i never burned an iso before
[03:53] <jhb1608> ah let me teach ya then
[03:53] <user_> mneptok: so what shall i do to make it working?
[03:53] <JJman> harrison-bergero: i wish i could.  but as i also mentioned i haven't used samba in a few years so i don't remember
[03:53] <JJman> sorry
[03:53] <corinth> So...I've been gone from Ubuntu for a while. Jaunty was just...*terrible*. I love the new RC, though. Remind me, where is the chat channel?
[03:53] <Scunizi> krammer_: use k3b
[03:53] <Ninad> can any one tell me most usable commands
[03:53] <jhb1608> first at all, insert a CD
[03:53] <Ninad> ?
[03:53] <Willy_> thank God for this chat room
[03:53] <Dorian2> hey guys.. once i got my specialized linux install set up perfect.. what is the best way to back it up?
[03:53] <krammer_> k3b is ready
[03:53] <user_> mneptok what shall i install?
[03:53] <jhb1608> let me speak to Scunizi
[03:53] <Scunizi> Dorian2: clonezilla
[03:53] <mickster04> SkyHigh, u may need some other packages
[03:54] <jhb1608> I meant Scunizi, I am talking ot krammer
[03:54] <mickster04> SkyHigh, have u got flash-nonfree?
[03:54] <Ninad> what is skyhigh?
[03:54] <mneptok> user_: just use Firefox when using YouTube
[03:54] <user_> :/
[03:54] <mickster04> Ninad, a user?
[03:54] <user_> not a solution lol
[03:54] <user_> :)
[03:54] <Ninad> yes
[03:54] <SkyHigh> yes, i have already installed all of the required packages and stuff...
[03:54] <Scunizi> jhb1608: gee.. I guess you're a little territorial
[03:54] <mickster04> SkyHigh, go to systemdetails.com
[03:54] <jhb1608> I am trying to help him
[03:54] <mickster04> SkyHigh, tell me what flash it says ur using
[03:55] <Ninad> mickster ,tell me most usable commands
[03:55] <harrison-bergero> JJman...can you point me in the right direction...what would i search for other than authentication issues?
[03:55] <mickster04> Ninad, what do u mean usable commands?
[03:55] <Dorian2> Scunizi, thanks looks liek what i need
[03:55] <JJman> well are you getting prompted when u try to connect from linux to windows for user credentials?
[03:55] <almoxarife> harrison-bergero: I am wondering if this is all for fun with you?
[03:56] <hanasaki> how do I change my console font?  its starts out fine.. then during boot changes to something light and hard to read
[03:56] <Ninad> i mean commands that are useful mostly
[03:56] <jhb1608> Scunizi: I'm sorry, but you'll confuse him when I am explaining to him
[03:56] <SkyHigh> its says that version is: 9.0.999.0
[03:56] <Ninad> see i have installed Linux ,but I am a New user for Linux
[03:56] <Scunizi> jhb1608: right.. go for it.. by all means.. continue
[03:56] <mickster04> Ninad, watever you need to do there will be commands that can help you, the usefulness changes depending on need
[03:56] <Ninad> help me to get familier to it
[03:56] <mickster04> Ninad, are u using ubuntu?
[03:56] <harrison-bergero> almoxarife....life is all for fun.  Even the seemingly annoying suff like this.
[03:56] <Ninad> yes
[03:56] <Ninad> actually
[03:57] <SpacePigeon> apt-get is always looking for ttf-core fonts (or some similar package) but I do not want it to, where can I cancel this?
[03:57] <Ninad> I have installed virtual box on my windows vista
[03:57] <mickster04> SkyHigh, yeah you need to remove swf stuff use synaptics an look for swf
[03:57] <JJman> Ctrl + c
[03:57] <Ninad> and using Linux from it
[03:57] <harrison-bergero> almoxarife....why do you ask?
[03:57] <mickster04> SkyHigh, its the outdated one
[03:57] <SkyHigh> how do i update?
[03:57] <JJman> sudo apt-get update
[03:58] <mickster04> SkyHigh, u are updated but u need to remove the old one
[03:58] <Scunizi> SkyHigh: from one version to another or just in general?
[03:58] <SkyHigh> ah, and how do i remove the old one?
[03:58] <mickster04> Ninad, it has a graphical user interface, you dont need commands really
[03:58] <jhb1608> done explaining ot krammer
[03:58] <jhb1608> :)
[03:58] <Ninad> how to use launcher?
[03:58] <mickster04> SkyHigh, synaptics package manager like i said
[03:58] <mickster04> Ninad, launcher+
[03:58] <mickster04> ?
[03:59] <ari_stress> SkyHigh: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:59] <SkyHigh> ok, so under the manager i just remove the older version of the flash?
[03:59] <Ninad> but linux is known for its non-graphycal part
[03:59] <mickster04> SkyHigh, remove the swf stuff
[03:59] <mickster04> not the flash stuff
[03:59] <almoxarife> harrison, if you want to move files from linux to windows the windows system has to have file sharing on, not be firewalled and linux must have the folder you want to move stuff from sharing
[03:59] <SkyHigh> ok, thanks for the help!!
[03:59] <mickster04> SkyHigh, the swf is blocking the use of the newer flash stuff
[03:59] <mickster04> SkyHigh, but check after u remove it using that site
[03:59] <SkyHigh> ah
[04:00] <mickster04> SkyHigh, we are up to version 10.x.x.x of flash now
[04:00] <JJman> Anyone familiar with udev  rulez
[04:01] <SkyHigh> wow... the flash stuff that i am spose to remove, what is the name?? i am very new to linux...
[04:01] <Ninad> ok
[04:01] <Ninad> Thanks JJman
[04:01] <jhb1608> ok I need ot go
[04:02] <AntiStrange> Could someone recommend a partition set up for a gaming machine? with windows 7 and ubuntu? Should I put all the games on a shared partition? Any chance I could make the shared partition ext3 or ext4 and still have windows read from it and run games from it?
[04:02] <SkyHigh> i have the following swf packages: swftools, swfmill, swfdec-mozilla, swfced-gnome, libming-util(<< that was with the swf that i searched...)
[04:02] <brandonban6> hello, if I upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 (using the upgrade feature) do I lose all my aps/settings/user accounts?
[04:02] <Kate> hmm
[04:03] <almoxarife> SkyHigh: get rid of the swfcodec-mozilla
[04:03] <Kate> weird. Ubuntu8, in the preseed file, you could do -1 for the max size... In Ubuntu9... that EXACT SAME preseed... Causes an error about "Out of disk" =/
[04:03] <harrison-bergero> almoxarife....you never answered my question....why do you ask if this is fun for me?
[04:03] <Kate> Rather, max size = rest of dick =/
[04:03] <Kate> *disk
[04:04] <corinth> What happened to Ubuntu Unleashed? :-(
[04:04] <SkyHigh> ok, under the synaptic manager, all of the items i listed are unchecked, but the swdec-gnome has a green box...
[04:04] <aldobar> in spahish??
[04:04] <almoxarife> SkyHigh: remove it too
[04:05] <aldobar> who know moon os???????????
[04:05] <Ninad> bijay
[04:05] <almoxarife> unchecked or not green?
[04:05] <harrison-bergero> almoxarife....so i have sharing on both OS, no windows firewall.  Why does the file transfer only go from windows to linux and not the other way?
[04:05] <Ninad> Bijay are you Indian?
[04:06] <SkyHigh> ok, it has been removed.. what now?
[04:06] <almoxarife> harrison, no idea, must be magic, can't help you
[04:07] <harrison-bergero> almoxarife....still didnt answer the non technical question.  Why did you ask if this was fun for me?
[04:07] <almoxarife> SkyHigh: is adobe flash installed?
[04:07] <CyberCod> Hey, I'm having trouble, can someone take a look at this?  http://pastebin.com/f846bfd2
[04:08] <SkyHigh> idk... can i find it under the package manager?
[04:08] <almoxarife> yes
[04:09] <imanoodle> @CyberCod, what is the trouble?
[04:09] <SkyHigh> ok, what would i be looking for then? cause i just did a quick search for flash, and i dont know what im looking for...
[04:09] <CyberCod> I'm not sure I edited the fstab correctly
[04:09] <almoxarife> look for adobe flash'
[04:09] <Scunizi> CyberCod: trolling?
[04:10] <almoxarife> adobe flash
[04:11] <SkyHigh> i have libswfdec-0.8-0 and gnash installed out of the items that i searched... do i need to remove gnash?
[04:11] <almoxarife> no
[04:11] <almoxarife> install 'adobe flash'
[04:12] <Scunizi> SkyHigh: you shouldn't have gnash and adobe flash installed at the same time.. one or the other. adobe flash is better
[04:13] <Guest55246> how do I get my slave drive to not be superuser anymore
[04:13] <mickster04> SkyHigh, if u go to systemdetails.com it can tell u if it worked:p
[04:13] <trollboy> in koala, what's the new minicom?  I noticed that pidgin is being replaced with empathy, what about minicom?
[04:13] <Out_Cold> Guest38753 what do you mean?
[04:13] <SkyHigh> for the adobe flash i see flashplugin-installer and flashplugin-nonfree... witch one do i get?? and mickster08, i am stil on that site :P
[04:13] <Out_Cold> **55246
[04:13] <SkyHigh> mickster04**
[04:14] <Guest55246> what I mean is the only way that I can add anything on my slave drive is to use nautilus, and not just the filesystem does that make sense?
[04:14] <Out_Cold> Guest55246, i kinda think i know what you mean
[04:15] <Out_Cold> you are currently going to /media/disk in nautilus and want it to be somewhere else?
[04:16] <Guest55246> well I want to be able to just mount it and use it without haveing to go into the terminal and then to nautilus
[04:16] <Scunizi> Out_Cold: I think his drive has the wrong permissions.. he needs it to belong to him not root
[04:16] <Willy_> quick question
[04:16] <SkyHigh> i am installing the flashplugin-installer and uninstalling the gnash... is about right??
[04:16] <mickster04> SkyHigh, refresh
[04:16] <Willy_> if I install mythtv on ubuntu
[04:16] <almoxarife> !adobe-flashplugin
[04:16] <Take0n> I have two extra side buttons on my mouse and I would like to use them for controlling the volume.. how would I do that?
[04:16] <Out_Cold> is that so Guest55246?
[04:16] <Guest55246> yes that is it willy but I have tried everything to fix it and it does not work
[04:16] <Willy_> can i some how broadcast it into a windows pc throught the network?
[04:18] <a|3xx> my ubuntu installation freezes when i mount a truecrypt volume, any ideas?
[04:18] <money> heh
[04:18] <corinth> Now that ubuntu-unleashed.com is seemingly down...I'm looking for a good Ubuntu how-to / general knowledge site. Suggestions?
[04:19] <mickster04> SkyHigh, what flash are u using now according to the website?
[04:19] <SkyHigh> OMFG!!! INSTALLING ADOBE FLASH THROUGH THE MANAGER TAKES TOO LONG!!!!!!!!!!
[04:19] <harrison-bergero> ok, i found a rather long and annoying way to do this.  SFTP
[04:19] <wolf23> helpers, anyone can tell me how to upgrade to UNR?
[04:19] <harrison-bergero> but at least its working
[04:20] <almoxarife> 10.4 meg d/l too long?
[04:20] <SkyHigh> before i just started the installation it said 9.0.999.0, but when i looked at the flashplugin-installer description it said live version 10.0 something..
[04:20] <mickster04> SkyHigh, go to youtube and test then
[04:20] <SkyHigh> yea i have slow internet connection.... :(
[04:20] <Take0n> so anyone knows about the mouse buttons?
[04:21] <Guest55246> yes out cold that is it
[04:21] <repnop> anyone have issues with ubuntu 9.04 and input in some java apps? (gnome)
[04:21] <Out_Cold> i am supposed to get 10mbps d/l and i regularly get capped at 300kbps after 20 seconds
[04:21] <almoxarife> SkyHigh: and this is all for trying to go to utube, considered what that's gonna look like when its up and running?
[04:21] <wolf23> helpers, anyone can tell me how to upgrade to ubuntu 9.10?
[04:22] <mickster04> !karmix
[04:22] <mickster04> !karmic
[04:22] <Scunizi> Out_Cold: also depends on all the servers and teh server you're getting your download from
[04:22] <SkyHigh> YAY IT WORKDS!!! and thanks for all the help and information, helped me out lots!!!
[04:22] <Wirawan> how to speed up connection internet in linux....what package is use?
[04:22] <almoxarife> oh goody
[04:22] <Out_Cold> yea.. but even torrents are throttleed
[04:22] <almoxarife> :)
[04:22] <Wirawan> :P
[04:22] <Scunizi> Out_Cold: could be your isp.. you in canada?
[04:23] <Out_Cold> uh huh... and yes
[04:23] <almoxarife> speed up connection package :)  , I need one of them too
[04:23] <mickster04> ditto
[04:24] <Scunizi> Out_Cold: canada just passed a ruling that isp's have authority to manage their networks as they see fit.. including bandwidth shaping.. they are suppose to notify you of changes though.
[04:24] <mickster04> or even better reduce cost of internet package
[04:24] <SkyHigh> i really like linux, but the terminal and installation is SO complicated... with windows, its easy, but really laggy and gots many bugs, and also i like linux cause of the smoothness and the fell of the layout! lol
[04:24] <almoxarife> wireless n work on ubuntu at 'n' speed?
[04:24] <Out_Cold> i'm sure there is fine print somewhere
[04:25] <Out_Cold> i need to get commercial optics lol
[04:25] <mickster04> SkyHigh, synaptics package manager is way easier to use than the way windows does it, you dont have to find and download installers run them etc, its all in one place? u dont need to use terminal too much like uu use command prompt?
[04:25] <SkyHigh> i have desktop, wired, and att isp...
[04:25] <thedude42> SkyHigh.... I would argue ubuntu's installation is less complicated than windows, in that it doesn't even require a reboot during the installation process until it is complete
[04:25] <IdleOne> thedude42: if it even requires a reboot
[04:25] <SkyHigh> and i did use to use command prompt every day last year actually... i was very familiar with cmd..
[04:26] <Guest55246> how do I get the owner changed from root to me on my slave hard drive?
[04:26] <Scunizi> thedude42: SkyHigh nor the multiple reboots just doing updates
[04:26] <SkyHigh> yea... for got about that... lol
[04:26] <SkyHigh> i thnk thats why i moved to linux!! lol
[04:27] <Billiard> Guest55246: what is the filesystem?
[04:27] <Scunizi> Guest55246: sudo chown <your user name>:<your user name> /media/<drive mount point>
[04:27] <mickster04> yep, and concidering its free too:D;D:D:D
[04:27] <SkyHigh> NO DOUBT!
[04:27] <thedude42> SkyHigh, also, the advanced configuration items in windows are buried behind esoteric multi layered gui menus, which are equally inaccessable from the average user as the command line
[04:28] <Guest55246> ext3
[04:28] <x0d> #! is most awesome, my laptop is screaming
[04:28] <brandonban6> hello, if I upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 (using the upgrade feature) do I lose all my aps/settings/user accounts?
[04:28] <bpr> is there any way to make empathy create a new conversation window when a new IM comes in?
[04:28] <bpr> the default behavior in karmic does not do that
[04:29] <SkyHigh> im not a big fag on the gui, but i do program graphical applications... wich are sometimes very complicated to do!
[04:29] <x0d> brandonban6 not if you have a separate /home partition
[04:29] <SkyHigh> oh yea... i also have gambas...... i have NO clue on how to use that damn thing...
[04:29] <brandonban6> x8d, so if not, just back up and restore the home/usr folders?
[04:30] <x0d> that should do the trick, also back up /etc if you have xorg.conf tweaks or anything like that
[04:30] <luser> does anyone have an AM3 motherboard with onboard geforce?
[04:31] <LiteDark> I assume that like gentoo that ubuntu has unstable packages that I could search and look at?  Where can I find them and how do I use them?
[04:31] <mjs> just noticed that since I upgraded to 9.04, I no longer have a color option on OOo Writer, i.e., can't change the color of text, anyone else notice this problem and are there any fixes?
[04:31] <Scunizi> luser: what are you have issues with?
[04:31] <brandonban6> got it.. what about apps? just dpkg --list them ? x0d ?
[04:31] <money> what time does 9.10 release?
[04:32] <bigfootbuilt> Money...Thursday
[04:32] <brandonban6> I meant pipe them into a txt file and then import into 9.10
[04:32] <luser> Scunizi,i cant see the intial grub-type menu when loading ubuntu from USB
 what time does 9.10 release?
 <money> what time does 9.10 release?
 <money> <money> what time does 9.10 release?
 <money> <money> <money> what time does 9.10 release?
[04:32] <SkyHigh> oh sht! i just seen that its 12:32... i gotta head to bead... got school!!!! :((
[04:33] <sean> sc113080
[04:33] <sean> asdkj
[04:33] <Scunizi> luser: you mean you get the initial boot screen but when you choose "go to live desktop" nothing happens?
[04:33] <Mike999> I'm wondering if anyone has experience of having 2 nvidia cards (1 PCI-E + 1 PCI) and having 3 monitors work as one display to help me reconfigure my xorg.conf I would very very greatfull as I've been playing around with this for days
[04:33] <luser> Scunizi, no i can not see the menu that has Install, start live etc
[04:34] <ubuntu_> man
[04:34] <x0d> brandonban6 http://linuxologist.com/linuxhowto/howto-fresh-ubuntu-install-without-losing-your-current-settings/
[04:34] <Scunizi> luser: is there any menu that pops up at all?
[04:34] <netroby> ?
[04:34] <x0d> that'll explain better than i
[04:34] <luser> Scunizi, no I get a completely black screen
[04:34] <LiteDark> Mike999 good luck.
[04:34] <brandonban6> x0d,  that's what i've been searching for thanks!!!
[04:35] <Mike999> LiteDark is it that hard lol
[04:35] <LiteDark> I did pci and agp once.  It took a while to figure out.
[04:35] <x0d> brandonban6 mp =^)
[04:35] <Guest8097> so I tried to chown my hard drive and then reboot but that still didn't work
[04:35] <Scunizi> luser: well... either the install on the usb isn't done right or what you installed to the usb wasn't complete.. is it a gforce 8200 board?
[04:36] <luser> Scunizi, gf8300
[04:36] <luser> Scunizi, i will try with CD and DVD install tonight
[04:36] <bpr> anyone know how to get empathy to create a new conversation window when a new IM arrives? (a conversation starting IM)
[04:36] <LiteDark> Mike999 i think in the end i installed the drivers from the official nvidia site and had used the nvidia util to configure the displays....
[04:36] <liyingqiao> hello
[04:37] <LeNsTR> yo
[04:37] <LiteDark> This was on a gentoo box though.  I tried the official sources but...
[04:37] <Guest8097> Disk /dev/sdb: 120.0 GB,<PHONE_NUMBER>76 bytes
[04:37] <Guest8097> 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14593 cylinders
[04:37] <Guest8097> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
[04:37] <Guest8097> Disk identifier: 0x00000000
[04:37] <Guest8097> Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table   what does this mean?
[04:37] <FloodBot3> Guest8097: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:37] <Mike999> LiteDark, I'm using NVIDIA X Server Settings but no luck
[04:37] <luser> Scunizi, so i should get textmode at least?
[04:37] <LiteDark> Mike999 good luck.
[04:37] <Mike999> LiteDark, would it be possible to send me your xorg.conf ? :/
[04:37] <Scunizi> luser: that's a good idea.. if needed on the initial boot screen you can hit F6 .. in the kernel line at the end you might need to add pci=nomsi before the splash quiet listing.. my 8200 board needed that.
[04:37] <Scunizi> luser: get the live cd..
[04:37] <LiteDark> Mike999 it was ages ago I think I have it somewhere....
[04:37] <luser> Scunizi, cool Ill give that a go thanks
[04:38] <Jeruvy> Guest8097: probably that there are no partitions
[04:38] <piess> hello
[04:38] <Scunizi> luser: if it needed that addition then after install you'll have to add that to the kernel line in the install as well.
[04:38] <x0d> Guest8097, hiren's bootdisk has some nice hard drive tools  google it perhaps
[04:38] <liyingqiao> driver for ati of ubuntu9.10
[04:38] <mjs> just noticed that since I upgraded to 9.04, I no longer have a color option on OOo Writer, i.e., can't change the color of text, anyone else notice this problem and are there any fixes?
[04:38] <liyingqiao> also has some bug
[04:39] <luser> Scunizi, sure. I already have debian installed on hda that i moved from another box, could i try adding the nomsi line to grub?
[04:39] <Animagladius__> Night.
[04:39] <Guest8097> well I keep trying to do different ways to put this hard drive on my system and it gets on there but it just doesn't give user permissions, it is only root, and I don't want that
[04:39] <Scunizi> luser: for the debian install?
[04:40] <luser> Scunizi, yes. i have moved my hdds to a new box basically
[04:40] <piess> what can i do if i want see the message when somebody leavehere or joining
[04:40] <Scunizi> luser: don't add it unless you have issues.

[04:42] <Scunizi> luser: yep.. add the line.. might make all the difference..
[04:42] <Mike999> LiteDark, can you paste it on http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[04:42] <LiteDark> Well.   I still don't know what it does.. but it works on my machine.
[04:44] <Mike999> LiteDark, should work fine. The issue I'm actually having is all 3 monitors are operational but they are working as different X sessions

[04:44] <LiteDark> dont give up
[04:44] <LiteDark> you will love it in the end.

[04:46] <Mike999> thanks lite
[04:46] <Jeruvy> Mike999: what worked for me was using the nvidia config tool to create the xorg file, and then saving that manually.  Ubuntuforums.org helped me with the rest.
[04:46] <liyingqiao> haha
[04:46] <LiteDark> WebDawg@Efnet if you have questions Mike999
[04:46] <coordinador> i have a problem with a SD card, i cannot format it with gparted

[04:47] <Mike999> LiteDark, okie will do thanks again (I'm old Efnet guy also :p)
[04:47] <Scunizi> coordinador: is the lock moved on the side of it?
[04:47] <luser> Scunizi, to do with a number of devices sharing the same interrupts
[04:48] <Scunizi> luser: that makes sense.. my board is a xfs
[04:48] <mjs> thanks th0r
[04:48] <Mike999> Jeruvy I'll check that out, I've been using the GUI NVIDIA X Server Settings app you think I should switch to nvidia-config?

[05:08] <repnop> killall -9 npviewer.bin when not using flash is a godsend :)
[05:08] <lyq88> ok
[05:09] <repnop> if you're like me and leave firefox open all the time, some random flash object on some tab somewhere using up cpu is annoying

[05:15] <jap_> hey ppl
[05:15] <knoppies> hi jap
[05:15] <ubuntu_> hi guys. I am trying unbuntu live CD for a moment. Is there any way to copy my configuration settings, packages installed, preferences in a backup directory (mobile) in order to retieve them after installing the HDD version of ubuntu ?
[05:15] <Celroc> Hi jap_
[05:16] <jap_> nuttin much and u
[05:16] <Celroc> jap_: I'm doing ok, thanks
[05:16] <jap_> where r u from?
[05:16] <chunknuts> ubuntu_:I dunno
[05:17] <lyq88> thanks
[05:17] <Celroc> jap_: Sorry, but I try not to give out my personal information on the internet
[05:18] <Jeruvy> ubuntu_: you're better of just moving what you want to a usb drive and then when you do a fresh install  take what you need, rather than try to restore the configs.  Some things won't port well.
[05:18] <knoppies> ubuntu_, try use an external HDD
[05:18] <vigo> ubuntu_: Sort of, yes, is real geeky, but it can be done with the right hardware and added stuff.
[05:18] <Celroc> Does anyone here know how to access the remote parental controls on a Mac from Ubuntu?
[05:18] <lc> 咋说的都是English
[05:18] <George_E> Configuring multiseat?
[05:18] <lc> 有人在吗？
[05:19] <lc> Is there any body here?
[05:19] <scatterp> lc a few
[05:19] <vigo> !ch
[05:19] <Celroc> lc: Sorry, but I can't speak that language.
[05:19] <lyq88> too many
[05:19] <vigo> !ansii
[05:20] <ubuntu_> Ok guys, thanks for your attention. Another way to expose my problem : in what folder are located the config files, new packages, and preferences ?
[05:20] <Willy> hey
[05:20] <lyq88> my English is very poor
[05:21] <ubuntu_> (i have got an usb key mounted and ready to receive my config datas)
[05:21] <vigo> lyq88: Ok, so is mine
[05:21] <SnakDoc> lyq88: that work for you ?
[05:21] <vigo> .
[05:21] <lc> let's speak Chinese
[05:21] <scatterp> lyq88 chinese ?
[05:21] <scatterp> lyq88 #ubuntu-ch
[05:21] <lyq88> yeah
[05:21] <lc> 恩
[05:21] <lc> 哈哈
[05:21] <mneptok> lc: please stop
[05:22] <lc> Okay
[05:22] <scatterp> lyq88, #ubuntu-ch
[05:22] <scatterp> hi running backtrack 4PF which is based on ubuntu 8.10 i have root=/dev/loop0 single (appended to grub line) truecrypt_nogui_initrd -l now reports 1: /dev/hda /dev/loop0 is opened and i am at a initramfs/busybox prompt how do i continue to boot ?
[05:22] <lc> Where are you from?
[05:22] <George_E> configuring multiseat?
[05:23] <mneptok> scatterp: "based on Ubuntu" is not Ubuntu. please direct Backtrack questions to their IRC channels, forums, etc.
[05:23] <Celroc> lc: Sorry, but I try not to give out my personal info online
[05:23] <scatterp> mneptok, ok
[05:23] <lyq88> i come to this channel for learning English
[05:23] <lc> ...
[05:24] <lyq88> haha
[05:24] <roger2> whats the difference if install xubuntu over ubuntu rather than doing a fresh install xubuntu?
[05:25] <ubuntu_> ok, thanks anyway guys. have fun here.
[05:25] <lc> What's your mother language?
[05:25] <vox> roger2: you can just install kde
[05:25] <lyq88> chinese
[05:25] <SnakDoc> roger2:  the difference would maybe apps keep from ubuntu
[05:25] <FeasibilityStudy> My mother speaks english
[05:25] <lyq88> i'm chinese
[05:25] <SnakDoc> xubuntu is sfce not kde
[05:26] <SnakDoc> xfce*
[05:26] <vox> ah xubuntu
[05:26] <lc> My mother speaks Chinese
[05:26] <vox> i misread
[05:26] <mneptok> !offtopic
[05:26] <repnop> all three run fine on the same system
[05:26] <Psinetic> my firewall keeps blocking a port 67 every 15 seconds, here's what it says: Time: Oct 28 14:18:53 Source: <IP_ADDRESS> Destination: <IP_ADDRESS> In IF:  Out IF: eth0 Port: 67 Length: 328 ToS: 0x00 Protocol: UDP Service: DHCP
[05:26] <Psinetic> any help on what this is?
[05:26] <Psinetic> and how to fix it.
[05:26] <repnop> i use xfce via vnc, gnome on main desktop and kde on another account..
[05:26] <lc> close the port
[05:26] <roger2> snakDoc: im just trying to make the windows comparison (which is unfair) but you know how its better to do a fresh windows install, does this apply to xubuntu over ubuntu
[05:26] <lyq88> lc,please teach me English,can you help me?
[05:27] <repnop> lyq88: you're better off going to a social channel for such things.
[05:27] <lc> No,It's beyond my ability
[05:27] <knoppies> Psinetic, what devices are at the IPs source: <IP_ADDRESS> Destination: <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:27] <Jeruvy> Psinetic: as it says, its DHCP traffic
[05:27] <Psinetic> lc, why would i close a port if i don't even know what it does or why?
[05:27] <Psinetic> 1.2 is my computer and 1.1 is the wireless router
[05:27] <lc> google it
[05:30] <knoppies> Psinetic, I would assume its DHCP traffic going from your PC to your router.
[05:30] <knoppies> what normally runs on port 67. Im sure you can google that too.
[05:31] <Psinetic> it's only recently been doing this though
[05:31] <lc> Bootstrap Protocol Server
[05:31] <roger2> Would programs load up and run faster, like VLC/movie player, in xubuntu compared to ubuntu? i have an old laptop
[05:31] <sevol> yea
[05:31] <knoppies> Psinetic, what software/hardware have you installed recently (or maybe a relevent setting change)
[05:31] <lc> 67、68端口分别是为Bootp服务的Bootstrap Protocol Server(引导程序协议服务端)和Bootstrap Protocol Client(引导程序协议客户端)开放的端口。
[05:31] <sevol> xubuntu is made for old computers
[05:31] <knoppies> maybe I should give xubuntu a try then.
[05:31] <lyq88> i cannot express my problem successfully using English
[05:31] <Psinetic> knoppies, i dunno
[05:32] <mneptok> Psinetic: it's DHCP
[05:32] <justlooking1> "<lyq88> lc,please teach me English,can you help me?" go go to #x264 the lads there like manga and are always complaining about the chinese to english translations so you could be very welcome there if your into video Encoding LOL...
[05:32] <SnakDoc> roger2: depends on a lot the apps are not xfce so there load times may be close to same bu tthen the whole enviroment using less ram try it see what you think
[05:32] <Psinetic> why is dhcp doing this though?
[05:32] <lc> lyq88. you can use Chinese
[05:32] <sevol> if your computer has old hardware or doesn't really meant the ubuntu requirements, xubuntu is an alternative for u
[05:32] <mneptok> Psinetic: because DHCP uses ports 67 and 68.
[05:32] <candykorn> ubuntu is lagging is it because windows was installed first?
[05:32] <Psinetic> ok
[05:32] <lyq88> 真的？
[05:33] <mneptok> !offtopic > lc
[05:33] <mneptok> !offtopic > lyq88
[05:33] <Psinetic> well, i got a bigger problem on my hands now...just looked and all five of my websites are down. *sigh* gotta run guys. sry
[05:33] <roger2> i been using xubuntu for 2 hours already, i actually think apps, opening folders, load times are longer? am I drunk?
[05:33] <mneptok> !offtopic > justlooking1
[05:33] <lc> yes,port 67 is used for DHCP
[05:33] <candykorn> wow
[05:33] <candykorn> you might be
[05:33] <candykorn> how many beers or drinks did you have?
[05:33] <sevol> roger2, whats ur system specs?
[05:34] <lc> specs?
[05:34] <DigitalKiwi> xfce is gnome with more bugs, amirite?
[05:34] <knoppies> roger2, did you use compiz or emerald?
[05:34] <roger2> sevol: 181.2MB RAM, PIII 1GHZ, 20GB HD
[05:34] <knoppies> lc, specs is short for specifications. ie: Whats under the hood.
[05:34] <DigitalKiwi> roger2: that's a lot
[05:34] <roger2> i have a 256MB dimm installed but i only see 182MB on system info
[05:34] <knoppies> DigitalKiwi, makes my old machine look good.
[05:35] <chunknuts> 181 RAM?
[05:35] <lc> Okay,roger that, thanks, knoppies
[05:35] <knoppies> lc, no problems
[05:35]  * DigitalKiwi has a laptop with 96MB ram, 4 gig hard drive, 266mhz (might be less) pentium II with arch linux >.>
[05:35] <sevol> roger2: well it seems like you should be running xubuntu fine
[05:35] <lyq88> Now I do not know the function of pigeons
[05:35] <lc> 4 G hard drive...
[05:36] <sevol> you meet the minimum requirements.
[05:36] <lyq88> haha
[05:36] <roger2> it runs greats, i just thought i would be able to open and run all apps at the same time with xubuntu
[05:36] <chunknuts> everything else is ok, I'd get more ram though -- dunno why Xubuntu is faster -- what about video card?
[05:36]  * DigitalKiwi should put deli on it, that's like 6 times the ram it needs
[05:37] <sevol> chunknuts, xubuntu would appear faster to you if u have a more updated computer system
[05:37] <chunknuts> lol -- cannot run multiple apps with 181 MB RAM (Firefox takes that much alone) -- check out system monitor for ram usage (I don't think Xu vs ubuntu matter with memory)
[05:37] <lyq88> i can use translate tools to express my view
[05:37] <DigitalKiwi> if you want a fast system don't use a desktop environment
[05:37] <lc> what tools?
[05:37] <lc> no GUI
[05:37] <chunknuts> sevol: I meant why ubuntu is faster than Xubuntu on his system
[05:38] <knoppies> DigitalKiwi, that takes half the fun out of it.
[05:38] <sevol> really?
[05:38] <DigitalKiwi> nah, the DE ruins the fun
[05:38] <chunknuts> sevol: I dunno -- I was thinking something to do with video drivers maybe
[05:38] <DigitalKiwi> so do the default window managers :/
[05:38] <chunknuts> roger2: What video card are you using?
[05:39] <lc> hd 2300
[05:39] <sevol> it can't be, even if he has a decently new gvideo card, his system won't be able to handle it
[05:39] <vigo> DigitalKiwi: Or use X or Flux or something lightweight?
[05:39] <roger2> ATI Rage mobility M3 AGP 2X but the sound card is giving me problems, sometimes it plays perfect, other times its choppy and stutters
[05:39] <justlooking1> "<roger2> i have a 256MB dimm installed but i only see 182MB on system info " basic logic says 64 meg og that is being used by our onlboard GFX chipset, if you also have a seperate card and dont want to use the onboard one  reset the bios to disable its use and get that ram back for other things.... simple really.
[05:39] <knoppies> DigitalKiwi, I use compiz. Although I do need a newer card to do what I want it to do.
[05:39] <roger2> i did "sudo modprobe snd-es1938" my sound card but for instance now..the mp3 playback is sped up and choppy..its possessed
[05:39] <sevol> according to his specs, it just won't work as its suppose to.
[05:39] <DigitalKiwi> http://omploader.org/vMjgyag awesome wm ftw
[05:40] <roger2> chunknuts: i have ati rage mobility m3
[05:40] <DigitalKiwi> mpd + ncmpcpp and htop and vim as well ;D
[05:41] <DigitalKiwi> vigo: I've yet to find an OS with a tiling window manager as default, and I can't work in a floating window manager (if I had to I'd use openbox but few systems come with that as well)
[05:41] <chunknuts> roger2: ok
[05:41] <chunknuts> roger2: where you using the ATI drivers before, i.e. did you download them?
[05:42] <sevol> roger2: if ubuntu was working better for you why go with xubuntu?
[05:42] <DigitalKiwi> crunchbang > xubuntu
[05:43] <wzssyqa> why the package that i install with "dpkg --force" ,don't show in synaptic?
[05:44] <sevol> wzssyqa: probably beacuse that package is not in the respostiories
[05:44] <vigo> DigitalKiwi: Is kinda off-topic, but I do not really like or find any use for the eye-candy stuff, my niece likes it. And that is enough for me.
[05:44] <wzssyqa> sevol: yes,it is not in
[05:45] <knoppies> vigo, I like customising it the most. I turned it off and then realised how much I missed it.
[05:45] <wzssyqa> sevol: but ones that install with gdebi show
[05:45]  * DigitalKiwi is practical, he uses what gets stuff done faster/better, not what looks pretty (unless it happens to be both)
[05:45] <Celroc> Guess I'm gonna log out. Bye all
[05:45] <lc> bye
[05:46] <knoppies> DigitalKiwi, I agree with you. But then my ubuntu box is a toy, not a workhorse. So im not too bothered about speed.
[05:46] <sevol> wzssyqa: because gedbi, uses your repository to download/install packages & dependencies
[05:46] <vigo> knoppies: Yes, I see the reasoning for it, and if it is not fun, then what is it....
[05:47] <sevol> while dpkg you can just find a package anywhere on the net, install it and the package is not in the repository.
[05:47] <almoxarife> karmic compiz has tiling windows
[05:47] <DigitalKiwi> my arch systems are tools and occasionally play (i actually enjoy programming more than most games), my windows partitions are for games
[05:47] <sevol> wzssyqa: why do you want to remove something?
[05:47] <knoppies> arch? systems?
[05:48] <DigitalKiwi> he doesn't like bloat?
[05:48] <DigitalKiwi> arch linux
[05:48] <wzssyqa> sevol: i am afraid to forget i have install it future
[05:48] <lc> veket
[05:49] <sevol> wzssyqa: i see, but your system won't
[05:49] <DigitalKiwi> knoppies: "Arch Linux (or Arch) is a Linux distribution intended to be lightweight and simple.[1] The design approach of the development team focuses on simplicity, elegance, code correctness and minimalism.[2] "
[05:50] <obiwan__> hi, please how can i tell who whois me¿
[05:50] <wzssyqa> sevol: i known,i wan't clear my system,how can i know i have installed which package with dpkg?
[05:51] <knoppies> DigitalKiwi, sounds like something i would like. Maybe i should go have a look at it.
[05:51] <almoxarife> my foot has an arch too, a simple one
[05:51] <knoppies> almoxarife, Does your arch read emails?
[05:51] <dudeface> any idea why my programs take so long to launch in karmic?, do i need more ram?
[05:51] <knoppies> almoxarife, does it automate tasks?
[05:51] <DigitalKiwi> knoppies: <3
[05:52] <knoppies> almoxarife, sorry, I think that came out stronger than I intended. I hope I didnt offend you.
[05:52] <almoxarife> why is it emails? when I go to the mail box I don't get the mails
[05:52] <roger2> there are intermittent random periods in which my HD makes a clicking noise, screen locks up, and i have to power off and on, is there a GUI HD app that can scan my HD
[05:52] <sevol> wzssyqa: give me a sec.
[05:53] <roger2> they are totally random, right now everything is ok
[05:53] <almoxarife> not offended
[05:53] <sevol> wzssyqa: are you there?
[05:53] <tjz> i am going to switch to ubuntu slowly
[05:53] <justlooking1> interesting, now that Ubuntu 9.10 RC includes the 2.6.31-14.48 does it also suffer from the 80% less of throughput due to the existing kernel scheduler bugs now found or has it been patched already and is running faster as reported
[05:53] <tjz> i plan to go dual boot first
[05:53] <tjz> any suggestion
[05:53] <wzssyqa> sevol: my english is not very well,i can't understand you
[05:54] <knoppies> tjz, if you install linux after windows, then grub deals with the booting
[05:54] <knoppies> tjz, if you uninstall linux (leave windows), then you have to repair your windows boot sector
[05:54] <sevol> wzssyqa: to find out what packages you have installed, use this command " dpkg --get-selections "
[05:54] <knoppies> tjz, Rather than fiddling with the boot file, I just reinstalled windows.
[05:55] <DigitalKiwi> knoppies: ...
[05:55] <knoppies> tjz, If you using the same HDD, I would make 3 partitions. One for each OS, one for general data.   Its primary purpose was to reduce latency for ordinary desktop applications (potentially at the cost of absolute throughput).  Unsurprisingly, someone soon tested x264 with BFS2013and the results were absurd.  BFS trashed CFS, the existing kernel scheduler, by enormous margins2013up to 80%.  ...http://article
[05:55] <knoppies> DigitalKiwi, I didnt know that at the time.
[05:56] <DigitalKiwi> oh, but you do now I hope?
[05:56] <knoppies> lc, I meant after you had uninstalled linux.
[05:56] <sevol> wzssyqa: does it work for you?
[05:56] <dudeface> i installed karmic and my music sounds better than it used to in windows, can someone explain that?
[05:56] <wzssyqa> sevol: it display all packages
[05:56] <knoppies> DigitalKiwi, Ive never needed to, so no. But I now know where to learn it from. So if I do need to, I will figure it out. Until then, lets cross that bridge when I get there.
[05:56] <DigitalKiwi> that's odd, usually ubuntu has worse sound than other systems
[05:56] <sevol> wzssyqa: yes, now you won't forget what you have instaleld
[05:57] <wzssyqa> sevol: all,all,include througt apt
[05:57] <knoppies> dudeface, it may have been the program you used in windows, rather than the OS.
[05:57] <sevol> wzssyqa: yes that lists everything.
[05:57] <amruthraj> Hi, is there a system call to get the total memory usage on Linux? I searched a bit, but found some Api like getrusage, mallinfo which give the usage of a process ..
[05:57] <roger2> is there a diskcheck type gui program for ubuntu?
[05:57] <wzssyqa> sevol: i want to display that install with dpkg only,not apt
[05:58] <DigitalKiwi> knoppies: depending on which fix you have to do...if you install windows after linux it overwrites grub, you just have to reinstall grub, if you want to remove linux you just use the windows install disk in system rescue mode
[05:58] <knoppies> roger2, I assume we not talking about something like diskusage analyzer?
[05:58] <lc> Baobab
[05:58] <sevol> wzssyqa: then use dpkg --list
[05:58] <knoppies> I installed linux second. then when I formatted the linux part of the HDD (corrupt download) windows wouldnt boot. So I would have had to use the install disk of windows.
[05:58] <DigitalKiwi> amruthraj: free -m, or htop is really nice
[05:59] <roger2> knoppies: no something that will tell me> your HD is damaged or is good shape
[05:59] <mgmuscari> does anybody know if the random wifi drops with intel wifi link 5100 agn adapters have been resolved in karmic?
[05:59] <knoppies> roger2, then I dont know. I can try google it.
[05:59] <sevol> wzssyaq: shortcuts for finding a certain program(s) instaleld dpkg --get-selections | grep python or dpkg --list | grep "blah" will list all program installed "blah"
[05:59] <DigitalKiwi> badblocks?
[05:59] <amruthraj> DigitalKiwi: Thanks for the response. I am looking for an API that I can use in my program..
[06:00] <wzssyqa> sevol: it works like it,all too
[06:00] <sevol> wzssyqa: your welcome.
[06:00] <DigitalKiwi> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Badblocks
[06:00] <DigitalKiwi> amruthraj: oh
[06:00] <DigitalKiwi> pcall free -m ;D

[06:01] <meway> he;;p ;agg
[06:01] <sevol> does anyone know if theres a pidgin irc plugin that automatically says the username of the user that your talking to?
[06:02] <meway> woops
[06:02] <sevol> example : sam_: <-- automated
[06:02] <meway> how would i search for a file or folder
[06:02] <DigitalKiwi> amruthraj: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-programming-scripting/11703-c-function-returns-cpu-memory-usage.html ?
[06:02] <karoushi> it
[06:03] <sam_> sevol: i could not understand what u r saying
[06:03] <meway> if task.h is missing what problems could occure 0.o
[06:04] <sevol> sam_: I was just wondering if there was a pidgin plugin for IRC that automatically enters the name of a nick(s) that your talking to, so isntead of me typing sam_: message manually, it inputs sam_: automatically and then i type the message.
[06:04] <DigitalKiwi> meway: anything that relies on it wouldn't compile
[06:05] <liyingqiao> hello
[06:05] <meway> how do i search a file or folder
[06:05] <chunknuts> There's a search button in the file browser
[06:06] <chunknuts> that might help
[06:07] <amruthraj> DigitalKiwi: getrusage returns the memory usage of a particular process.. i want it for the complete system
[06:07] <coordinador> meway, go to the Places menu -> find files...
[06:08] <chunknuts> coordinator: ahhhhh!!!!
[06:08] <coordinador> amruthraj, use the "top" command or "htop" is better
[06:08] <dani> join /ubuntu+1
[06:08] <justlooking1> "[06:05] <meway> how do i search a file or folder " install mc
[06:08] <sam_> then what is your response of my question
[06:08] <coordinador> amruthraj, but htop you have to install (sudo apt-get install htop)
[06:08] <Guest40597> whats the command? to join karmic irc
[06:08] <amruthraj> coordinador: i would need an API .. and not a command.
[06:09] <amruthraj> coordinador: I want to call it from my program.
[06:09] <knoppies> sevol, cant you just type the first 3 letters of the username, and then hit tab?
[06:09] <knoppies> sevol, I do that in x-chat.

[06:13] <sevol> knoppies: would you haappen to know why sometimes, my pidgin would automatically close by itself, sometimes firefox as well >_<
[06:13] <knoppies> sevol, close as in minimize, or close as in exit?
[06:13] <sevol> knoppies: it just exits
[06:14] <sevol> knoppies: no minimize as well
[06:14] <justlooking1> bad programing and not checking for memory leaks
[06:14] <meway> there you go nahem
[06:14] <knoppies> sevol, Ive had pidgin auto minimize on me in windows, not sure why. Never had pidgin (or firefox) just exit.

[06:16] <nahem> I  have this problem, I have been trying to access the file tasks.h but it isn't in the file I was directed to off the internet, can anyone help out?
[06:17] <justlooking1> so nones knows if the latest RC is fixed as regards this report of slowness in the the existing scheduler: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/889654
[06:18] <mikeee> any ideas if moon light or other ubuntu programes can use netflix yet
[06:18] <meway> nahem:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FindingFiles
[06:19] <nahem> File not found, now I'm really frustrated
[06:20] <sevol> nahem: how did you lose the file?
[06:20] <Galaen> nahem what is this header? tasks.h
[06:20] <DaZ> !find tasks.h
[06:20] <DaZ> eh
[06:21] <Galaen> locate tasks.h
[06:21] <nahem> I don't know how I lost it, I was trying to do a command in terminal when it said Fork: resources temporarily unavailable, I then checked google and was directed to tasks.h
[06:21] <mneptok> nahem: sudo updatedb && locate tasks.h
[06:21] <nahem> The file isn't on my computer anymore
[06:22] <dani>  i can't take off the icons from menus. i deselected the "Show icons in menus" option from preferences yet icons are still apparent.     How do i and wear do i report this bug??? which section?
[06:22] <nahem> I just did a full search, nothing
[06:22] <justlooking1> "<knoppies> who wanted help with a disk check (gui) for ubuntu? " why mess around just install rebol view and write a GUI script in a few minutes http://www.rebol.com/view-platforms.html http://musiclessonz.com/rebol_tutorial.html
[06:22] <maco> nahem: tasks.h? that sounds like a bit of the kernel. youd only have it installed to compile against or for development
[06:22] <Galaen> what kind of command have you tape?
[06:22] <maco> nahem: i mean, youd only have it as a .h file for development reasons
[06:22] <Galaen> yeah it's a header file
[06:22] <maco> nahem: just because its what generates the error doesnt mean you need to read the source code. what was the original error that lead you to look it up?
[06:23] <nahem> I'm trying to create a server for the mana world game, when I try to run my mana world server it said Fork: resource temporarily unavailable
[06:23] <knoppies> justlooking1, thanks

[06:25] <volante> wireless doent work with the new dell xps 13 under 9.10.. is this a known issue?
[06:25] <edulacomadreja> how many hours to karmic release?
[06:25] <volante> im going to try 9.04, hopefully it works in that version
[06:25] <sevol> anyone what to recommend a nice gnome theme?
[06:25] <maco> nahem: what is the path its claiming it should be? if its under /usr/src, NO it does not need to be there
[06:26] <maco> nahem: i *guarantee* your server is not parsing a header file real-time
[06:26] <edulacomadreja> how many hours to karmic release?
[06:26] <maco> nahem: header files are only for during compile
[06:26] <maco> edulacomadreja: nobody knows
[06:26] <loulas> -2 hours
[06:26] <edulacomadreja> thanks!
[06:26] <loulas> --
[06:26] <maco> edulacomadreja: it will be released at some point while it is oct 29 in at least one timezone on earth
[06:26] <nahem> I read that you have to change it to stop the Fork: resource temporarily unavailable
[06:27] <volante> edulacomadreja: screw karmic, it doesnt work with my wireless chip
[06:27] <maco> nahem: gimme that link?
[06:27] <edulacomadreja> volante: oh?
[06:27] <nahem> I can give you the page I was following
[06:27] <maco> nahem: yes please
[06:27] <edulacomadreja> i was waiting to test the intel graphic driver
[06:27] <nahem> http://www.linux.org.za/Lists-Archives/glug-0008/msg00693.html
[06:27] <volante> yah, i just got a brand new dell xps 13 and installed 9.10 beta and wireless doesnt work :(
[06:27] <maco> nahem: because anyone who says its better to modify teh kernel than to fix your own code...
[06:28] <justlooking1> "<knoppies> justlooking1, thanks" anyone insterested might also find http://reboltutorial.com/blog/redirect-shell-to-rebol-console/ useful for app interaction and related matters...
[06:28] <maco> nahem: yeah uh dont do that
[06:28] <madsj> hi; how do I get to see the video at http://sporten.tv2.dk/video/index.php/nodeId-26055064.html ? the frame is black, but rightclicking on it shows the flash-menu
[06:28] <maco> nahem: that is telling you to modify the kernel and recompile your kernel
[06:28] <madsj> java is installed
[06:28] <maco> nahem: and no that file is not normally there on a base system
[06:28] <knoppies> justlooking1, how do you quote? or are you just copy-pasting?
[06:28] <nahem> okay, so screw that damn page
[06:29] <nahem> How do I fix my "Fork: Resource temporarily unavailable" error?
[06:29] <maco> mneptok: do you think nahem is running out of PIDs maybe?
[06:29] <mneptok> nahem: what generates that error, exactly?
[06:29] <nahem> I give the command: ./eathena.sh start
[06:30] <nahem> thats my mana world server
[06:30] <Wirawan> how to way download file in terminal ubuntu
[06:30] <Wirawan> ?
[06:30] <maco> nahem: did you write it or get it somewhere?
[06:30] <maco> Wirawan: wget
[06:30] <loulas> this is fucking irritating. bluetooth doesnt want to stop working
[06:30] <mneptok> nahem: where did that shell script come from?
[06:30] <nahem> I got it from gitorious
[06:30] <nahem> Like it says to on tmw wikipedia
[06:30] <mneptok> nahem: and has it ever worked?
[06:31] <nahem> no, it is always the unavailable error
[06:31] <itroom> c
[06:31] <nahem> It has never started up
[06:31] <nahem> that error stops it
[06:31] <Wirawan> maco : so, that all
[06:32] <nahem> I was looking up some forks relating to the server
[06:32] <maco> Wirawan: "wget http://google.com/movie.mov" or whatever...
[06:32] <maco> Wirawan: if you want to resume a download "wget -c http://google.com/movie.mov" (the -c) for example
[06:32] <nahem> I thought it may have been those forks
[06:33] <nahem> but my friend got his server running no worries
[06:33] <mneptok> nahem: have you tried talking to the peopel that provide that script?
[06:33] <Wirawan> maco:ok, thank u
[06:33] <nahem> I can't
[06:33] <justlooking1> "<Galaen> 2 days for karmic i think" But once again.... does it also have the bug reported here http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/889654 "After a bit of testing, it turns out that NEXT_BUDDY and LB_BIAS"
[06:33] <Ser10UzMC> i farted
[06:33] <maco> Wirawan: see "man wget" for more info
[06:33] <nahem> Error on the forums
[06:33] <tanxxx> a VPN server,client just can access local resoures.What' s the promblem?
[06:33] <nahem> I'm really in deep
[06:33] <Ser10UzMC> nahem in what? ass? pussy? mouth?
[06:33] <loulas> does anyone know how to stop bluetooth being enabled by default?
[06:33] <maco> !ops | Ser10UzMC bad language
[06:34] <nahem> My friend doesn't play tmw anymore so he can't help me
[06:34] <Ser10UzMC> what the fuck
[06:34] <Kate> Bah. I keep getting "Cannot partition out of disk" with this: http://www.pastie.org/672968
[06:34] <Kate> On Ubuntu 9.
[06:34] <loulas> i edited /etc/default/bluetooth but it still starts!
[06:34] <maco> mneptok: oh didnt know you were one
[06:34] <Kate> Tried changing the -1 to<PHONE_NUMBER>0, doenst' help :(
[06:34] <nahem> I just about gave up on my server before
[06:34] <maco> mneptok: you need a /kb script
[06:34] <Wirawan> how to update all driver PC with terminal ubuntu
[06:34] <Wirawan> ?
[06:34] <maco> mneptok: er....alias
[06:34] <Galaen> justlooking1, i think it's not very serious to install it now i prefer to wait 2 month at least
[06:34] <mneptok> maco: no, i really don't.
[06:34] <tanxxx> My VPN server,the client just can access to the local resoures.
[06:35] <nahem> I have been trying to connect to those who have mde succesfull servers too
[06:35] <steven_> I realize this is the Ubuntu channel, but what is the best way to go about teaching yaself to be a systems programmer?
[06:35] <tanxxx> What's the promblem?
[06:35] <nahem> i have no luck
[06:35] <maco> Wirawan: "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude full-upgrade" will install all your updates
[06:35] <nahem> No matter who I asked no-one was much help
[06:35] <tanxxx> i try everything and didn't work.
[06:35] <nahem> I was directed to here
[06:35] <maco> tanxxx: can you use more sentences to describe what's wrong?
[06:35] <maco> tanxxx: because i have no idea what you're asking
[06:36] <almoxarife> I want to see what has been placed in the swap file, and also if I have 3gig of ram but use virtualbox should I have a bigger swap file than the 320meg I have now?
[06:36] <Wirawan> maco : it's work...
[06:36] <tanxxx> maco: Thank for your attention. I mean
[06:36] <kaikun> question: Anyone know if Rythembox be installed in kubuntu if so please tell me how its  one/ or what to do.. fairly new to linux (5 days) :D
[06:36] <maco> almoxarife: you should certainly have a bigger than 320mb if you want to be able to hibernate. you need at least teh size of your ram if you want to hibernate, since thats where itll go
[06:36] <kaikun> sorry my english is bad
[06:37] <madsj> it doesn't work in firefox 3.5 either :-(
[06:37] <maco> almoxarife: as to virtualbox...depends how much memory you give each vm, how many are running at a time, and what else is running.
[06:37] <Wirawan> maco: than a lot
[06:37] <justlooking1> copy paste is Good, when its busy and i cant be bothered to skip back and keeps it clearer and use quote marks...
[06:37] <maco> almoxarife: you can check your current memory and swap usage in megabytes using "free -m"
[06:37] <tanxxx> maco: I make a VPN server.But when client connect to it,the client just can access to the local resoures
[06:37] <xxploit> kaikun, most users use Amarok in Kubuntu and Rythmbox in Gnome
[06:37] <maco> Wirawan: no problem
[06:37] <Kate> Anybody here ever use preseed files / partman-auto?
[06:37] <kaikun> xxploit, ah thnx
[06:37] <Safe> How do I make so nautilus always open up a *.rar with a special command? Or rather, how do I "pipe" the file to the command? (correct use?)
[06:37] <Galaen> maco it's not 2*ramsize for the swap?
[06:37] <tanxxx> maco: Can't access to the Internet.
[06:37] <Echo_of_Silence> question
[06:37] <maco> tanxxx: sounds like the route being sent by your vpn's dhcp isn't configured for split tunneling
[06:37] <kaikun> i know amarok its default for kubuntu
[06:37] <kaikun> :/
[06:38] <Echo_of_Silence> when is oovoo viable for ubuntu users?
[06:38] <xxploit> kaikun, honestly and its only my opinion but Amarok seems better
[06:38] <knoppies> Echo_of_Silence, Im not even sure what oovoo is. But you dont have to state you have a question. the '?' does that for you.
[06:38] <Echo_of_Silence> lol
[06:38] <Echo_of_Silence> habbit
[06:38] <Safe> %s doesn't cut it.
[06:39] <maco> Galaen: i said "at least as big" ;) i prefer 2*ramsize, because you want to fit your ram + whatever swapped when you go to hibernate. with 3-4GiB of RAM its unlikely youll have >1GiB of swap in use before you hibernate, so its usually safe to just have like 1 GiB extra, but....depends on your use case
[06:39] <kaikun> hmm its all well iif i can find an xchat plugin
[06:39] <kaikun> to show what im playing
[06:39] <tanxxx> maco:You mean I shoud use dhcp to configure th IP
[06:39] <kaikun> so it can work with amrok
[06:39] <kaikun> *a
[06:39] <Echo_of_Silence> oovoo is the best VoIP program out there
[06:39] <almoxarife> question: how can I see what actually has been swapped into swap file?
[06:39] <Echo_of_Silence> and thats the only reason i still have windows xp on my laptop
[06:39] <xxploit> kaikun, does konversation or whichever qt4 irc client for kde support a plugin to Amarok?
[06:40] <maco> tanxxx: your route is definitely the problem. is it that you can only reach your local LAN, only your VPN's network, both of those two but not the net...or what?
[06:40] <Echo_of_Silence> i'm dule booting xp and 9.04
[06:40] <mneptok> Echo_of_Silence: is the source available for use and modification by anyone?
[06:40] <Echo_of_Silence> not sure at all
[06:40] <kaikun> xxploit, no idea just started using xchat
[06:40] <kaikun> lol
[06:40] <Echo_of_Silence> i'm only a year old in the linux world
[06:40] <kaikun> i was in windows most of my time so yeah.
[06:40] <mneptok> Echo_of_Silence: if not, ask oovoo. it's up to them, since they don;t share their code.
[06:40] <tanxxx> maco: Just the VPN's network.
[06:40] <maco> kaikun: youll find that people on IRC will be not-happy if you're having amarok spit out "now listening" things into chat constantly
[06:40] <Echo_of_Silence> bummer
[06:41] <Echo_of_Silence> thx
[06:41] <kaikun> lol maco
[06:41] <kaikun> true
[06:41] <maco> tanxxx: ok, so you need split tunneling. youre going to have to figure out what IP range should be going through the VPN and what should not
[06:41] <xxploit> kaikun, most users using kubuntu use qt4 apps whereas gnome users use gtk apps. It doesnt matter if you wish not to do this but apps like rythmbox/xchat are gtk apps
[06:41] <tanxxx> maco: Sorry,my English is poor.I trying my best to describle my problem.
[06:41] <Galaen> it's just for geek kaikun if you are curious you can try to code this plugin and share this
[06:42] <maco> tanxxx: split tunneling means you have certain data go to the VPN and certain data go elsewhere
[06:42] <kazagistar> I am getting a warning on my laptop that my hard drive has lots of bad sectors and is going to fail
[06:42] <maco> kazagistar: buy a new hard drive
[06:42] <maco> kazagistar: what are you waiting for?
[06:42] <mneptok> kazagistar: and stop using that one ASAP
[06:42] <maco> yeah what he said
[06:42] <tanxxx> maco:Sould I configure the Iptables?
[06:42] <maco> tanxxx: htats not the problem
[06:43] <maco> tanxxx: its the output of "route -n" that needs to change
[06:43] <maco> tanxxx: are you using network manager vpn plugins or the command line?
[06:43] <tanxxx> maco: command line
[06:43] <kazagistar> if I keep all my data completely synced and backed up, it should be OK to keep using the current drive until it totally dies, right?
[06:44] <maco> tanxxx: awww now you're going to make me have to remember commands i haven't used in years :P
[06:44] <maco> kazagistar: not really
[06:44] <mneptok> kazagistar: no
[06:44] <tanxxx> maco:haha:-D
[06:44] <maco> kazagistar: because you could end up wtih corrupted files and if you dont notice them and keep making backups from them....then after restoring the backup youll discover a bunch of your files are screwed up
[06:45] <xmnt> anyone know a good screencast tool for linux?
[06:45] <Kate> hmm
[06:45] <kazagistar> maco: I see... thanks for the advice
[06:45] <tanxxx> maco:thx,
[06:45] <Kate> darn it
[06:45] <Vovk> xmnt gtkrecordmydesktop? :)
[06:45] <Kate> I wish more people used preseeds =/
[06:45] <rww> !screencast | xmnt
[06:46]  * Kate wonders why she's still awake
[06:46] <Kate> So tired:(
[06:46] <Echo_of_Silence> what is the best VoIP we have?
[06:46] <Vovk> Kate: me too :(
[06:46] <CoUrPsE> Teamspeak.
[06:46] <CoUrPsE> :)
[06:46] <kazagistar> Echo_of_Silence: ekiga works good for me
[06:46] <Vovk> Telephone! :D
[06:46] <^Einstein> Echo_of_Silence: I use mumble, it's in the repos.
[06:46] <Vovk> o wait :(
[06:46] <Vovk> mumble was alright when I used it
[06:46] <xxploit> Echo_of_Silence, in like two months or something Teamspeak 3 open beta will be happening
[06:46] <xmnt> Echo_of_Silence, ekiga works fine .. but a voip phone is much better - i recommend a cisco
[06:47] <Echo_of_Silence> can windows user use it?
[06:47] <Echo_of_Silence> cause i need something that will get me across to window users
[06:47] <Vovk> mumble has a windows binary i think
[06:47] <^Einstein> ^
[06:47] <CoUrPsE> Teamspeak def has windows binarys, osx binarys, and *nix binarys.
[06:47] <CoUrPsE> :)
[06:47] <Echo_of_Silence> webcam ?
[06:47] <harrison-bergero> almoxarife....just wanted to let you know that the SFTP method failed as well.
[06:48] <Vovk> one of my friends got ventrillo with wine :^| that was an odd experince
[06:48] <CoUrPsE> VoIP != Camera.
[06:48] <Vovk> !VoIP
[06:48] <Vovk> aww...
[06:48] <Echo_of_Silence> XP.....sry younger brother
[06:48] <^Einstein> ekiga and skype are VoIP telephone apps, whereas TS and mumble are simpler VoIP "channel-based" voice chat programs, Echo_of_Silence. All four have Windows binaries afaik
[06:48] <Echo_of_Silence> he was asking if we were talk'n bout webcam
[06:48] <almoxarife> harrison-bergero: my god man, you still trying to move files?
[06:48] <Vovk> !ventrillo
[06:48] <harrison-bergero> almoxarife....yes
[06:49] <maco> tanxxx: can we take this to PM?
[06:49] <Vovk> almoxarife: scp failed for him?
[06:49] <maco> tanxxx: this channel is too busy
[06:49] <kaikun> Galaen, good idea
[06:49] <kaikun> :D
[06:49] <Vovk> harrison-bergero: you could also always torrent them to yourself :D
[06:49] <harrison-bergero> lol
[06:49] <Vovk> if you were worried about integrity
[06:50] <Safe> How do I make .rar-files always open up via a custom command? As in 'program -o *.rar | program -'? %s doesn't cut it.
[06:50] <almoxarife> harrison-bergero: just for shits and giggles I had ubuntu on a virtual and I managed to talk to vista all day long, as I described to you earlier, I don't know why your system does not play well
[06:50] <tanxxx> maco: Certainly
[06:50] <harrison-bergero> vovk....I am baffled.  why does the transfer work windows to linux but not the other way around
[06:50] <justlooking1> "How do I stop Bluetooth turning on by default?" To disable the service from starting at boot run this command: sudo update-rc.d -f bluetooth remove ,To re-enable it to start at boot run this: sudo update-rc.d bluetooth defaults , To start it later on run this: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start , For more info on update-rc.d:man update-rc.d
[06:50] <CoUrPsE> Safe, rar e fillename.rar will extract to current dir.
[06:50] <Vovk> harrison-bergero: what are you transfering and how are you trying to do it
[06:50] <almoxarife> Harrison, actually it was the otherway around, vista was virtual
[06:51] <Vovk> harrison-bergero: because it's always been my experience that w-w l-w and l-l transfers are fairly painless. it's only when you're trying to move files from windows to linux that you need to mess about
[06:51] <harrison-bergero> vovk....14gb total, files 700mb or larger from linux to windows over LAN
[06:51] <harrison-bergero> all cabled
[06:52] <harrison-bergero> works windows to windows back and forth
[06:52] <harrison-bergero> works windows to linux
[06:52] <harrison-bergero> does not work linux to windows
[06:52] <Safe> CoUrPsE: That's not the point though, I want to pipe it through a command.
[06:52] <CoUrPsE> Why dont you just use FTP ?
[06:52] <Vovk> harrison-bergero: hmm... i definitely mis-spoke :D linux to windows is the tricky one.
[06:52] <almoxarife> harrison-bergero: try this, you have another machine running windows that you can check to see if your problem still exists??, I bet its windows not allowing access, but I could be wrong too
[06:52] <harrison-bergero> both OS have share folders enabled, windows firewall is off
[06:52] <justlooking1> "<steven_> I realize this is the Ubuntu channel, but what is the best way to go about teaching yaself to be a systems programmer? " buy yourself a system install a POSIX compiler and play with x264 code and hang out in x264 asking questions about fixing buggy code....:)
[06:52] <almoxarife> harry, FTP
[06:53] <almoxarife> FTP
[06:53] <Vovk> harrison-bergero: ftp is a good idea ^_^ . you can also use WinSCP to pull the files from the linux box
[06:53] <harrison-bergero> almoxarife....i can do windows to windows....even swapped out the CAT5 on this machine and used a different router port
[06:53] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[06:53] <harrison-bergero> windows to windows works
[06:53] <user_> aku
[06:53] <Vovk> harrison-bergero: have you *tried* winscp? :D
[06:53] <Safe> Someone told me about using a wrapper script for the .rar but I don't know how I go about doing that.
[06:53] <almoxarife> FTP=the goodness of file transfer
[06:53] <harrison-bergero> vovk....winSCP failed
[06:53] <CoUrPsE> Can you connect to a windows FTP over lan?
[06:53] <Vovk> ah
[06:53] <Vovk> nvm
[06:53] <PRIDE> who here is competent enough to b a ubuntu newbie's private tutor?
[06:53] <mattwj2002> I need a program that converts jpeg2000 to pdf
[06:53] <user_> ipuhp.;
[06:53] <eddie> have to go
[06:54] <volante> anyone here managed to get wireless going on new studio xps notebook?
[06:54] <almoxarife> PRIDE: :)
[06:54] <capetown> Good morning! I was wondering a) how to my my "USB Startup disk creator" 8gb flashdrive "persistant" so that it saves my settings between reboot.... b) my firefox crashes all the time on this Duracell 8gb flashdrive but I have noticed that the RAM is 2/3 utilised of 512mb but the swap file is 100% 122MiB utilised... the firefox program just closes when I have a handful of randon webpages open.... Anyone?
[06:54] <mattwj2002> or to jpg would be nice too I guess
[06:54] <almoxarife> I work for kibble
[06:54] <Wirawan> how to speed up download file in ubuntu?
[06:54] <Vovk> i've seriously never used FTP (never needed to) but I think that's what you want to use
[06:54] <Vovk> PRIDE: that's what the channel is for ^_^
[06:54] <CoUrPsE> 0.o
[06:54] <CoUrPsE> How have you not used FTP before?
[06:54] <Vovk> lawl
[06:54] <Vovk> i mean for personal transfers
[06:54] <harrison-bergero> Vovk...what im confused about is this, what would i search for to find out what this problem is?
[06:54] <CoUrPsE> oh right.
[06:54] <Vovk> i mean... i've used it to download random stuff from ftp servers :D
[06:54] <CoUrPsE> Done had me worried before.
[06:55] <harrison-bergero> general network troubleshooting is too vague...too many hits
[06:55] <almoxarife> has not used ftp?
[06:55] <mattwj2002> anyone know?
[06:55] <harrison-bergero> almoxarife...i used winSCP, it failed after about 1.3GB
[06:55] <almoxarife> harry, zip drive?
[06:55] <Vovk> CoUrPsE: lol... as in I wouldn't really know how to go about setting up an FTP server... though I bet my friend google could tell me in around 5 minutes
[06:55] <CoUrPsE> harrison-bergero, Your doing it as 700MB files, and not 1 14GB file right?
[06:55] <harrison-bergero> right
[06:56] <mattwj2002> !jpeg2000
[06:56] <mattwj2002> hmm
[06:56] <CoUrPsE> Vovk, Wouldnt take 5 mins, a g6ftpd server takes 2 mins to install and have running.
[06:56] <harrison-bergero> vovk....winSCP already setup....it failed after about 1.3BG
[06:56] <Wirawan> how to speed up download file because in mmy country connection it's not good?
[06:56] <Vovk> CoUrPsE: ^_^ how convenient... though I really just scp my stuff from comp to comp... if it's GIGANTIC i just use a portable hard drive...
[06:56] <DaZ> Wirawan: you can't
[06:57] <CoUrPsE> harrison-bergero, I fail to see what your still doing here if your not taking on any suggestions.
[06:57] <Vovk> over a network though, I've used winscp to transfer a red hat dvd no problem... that was a 4 gig file
[06:57] <harrison-bergero> can anyone suggest a google search word or phrase?  LAN only works one way?
[06:57] <Willy> guys I keep getting this pop video on my system does it mean i got some virus or something
[06:57] <Vovk> i really have no clue why yours fails :(
[06:57] <harrison-bergero> Courpse....lol....um...other than using a USB drive, ive tried it all
[06:57] <Wirawan> daz: so, what can i do?
[06:57] <CoUrPsE> FTP?
[06:57] <DaZ> Wirawan: wait
[06:57] <Vovk> Willy: probably not
[06:57] <CoUrPsE> You keep saying WinSCP, have you tried FTP Thou?
[06:57] <harrison-bergero> SFTP
[06:57] <harrison-bergero> no
[06:58] <harrison-bergero> your right
[06:58] <Vovk> SFTP is probably very much the same
[06:58] <harrison-bergero> let me see if generic will work
[06:58] <Vovk> it's just FTP encrypted
[06:58] <CoUrPsE> Set up a simple FTP server on the windows box.
[06:58] <harrison-bergero> right
[06:58] <harrison-bergero> winSCP has ftp built in
[06:58] <harrison-bergero> one of the protocols you can choose.
[06:58] <CoUrPsE> And push the data to a upload account rather than pull it tthru a download account.
[06:58] <harrison-bergero> how do i turn on the ftp in linux?
[06:58] <CoUrPsE> Erm...
[06:58] <CoUrPsE> Turn on a FTP client?
[06:59] <rww> Vovk: FTP and SFTP are completely different protocols. "just FTP encrypted" is FTPS.
[06:59] <DaZ> harrison-bergero: client or daemon? :f
[06:59] <Vovk> browse there with firefox even? :D
[06:59] <Vovk> rww: my mistake!
[06:59] <harrison-bergero> im assuming its installed standard ubuntu
[06:59] <CoUrPsE> ftp -i local.ip
[06:59] <harrison-bergero> k
[06:59] <CoUrPsE> then use user/pass you made in the win FTP server.
[06:59] <CoUrPsE> using -i allows you to mput * once in the lcd you want to be in.
[07:00] <Vovk> harrison-bergero: I'm still in favor of you making a torrent. We'll seed it for you if you like :D
[07:00] <Vovk> harrison-bergero: just transfer the files to us... o wait...
[07:00] <CoUrPsE> I think its safe to say its piratecy related data.
[07:00] <CoUrPsE> Which is not allowed here.
[07:00] <Vovk> we won't tell ^_^
[07:01] <Vovk> we won't even look O.o
[07:01]  * DaZ will tell
[07:01]  * DaZ will look
[07:01] <Vovk> DaZ is a traitor. away with it!
[07:01] <harrison-bergero> the world is burning with depleted uranium in the air and someone mentions piracy "rights"......wow, but we cant all wake up at the same time
[07:01] <harrison-bergero> would be chaotic
[07:01] <rww> !ot
[07:01] <justlooking1> "<kazagistar> if I keep all my data completely synced and backed up, it should be OK to keep using the current drive until it totally dies, right? " like they said already But apparently Ubuntu 9.10 RC ships with Ubuntu One by default. Ubuntu One is your personal cloud. You can use it to back up, store, sync and share your data with other Ubuntu One users.http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/910overview so it might just save your bacon if you
[07:02] <CoUrPsE> harrison-bergero, I xfer data alot from *nix to windows, and if find it easier to have win ftp servers, and push from linux box rather download from linux box.
[07:02] <CoUrPsE> (^It makes sense to me.)
[07:02] <harrison-bergero> ill try it, brb
[07:02] <Vovk> justlooking1: your data is never 100 percent safe... I'd rather not get into that situation where i use a drive until it can no longer function at all :D
[07:02] <CoUrPsE> harrison-bergero, Google g6 ftp server or bulletproof ftp server.
[07:02] <Termana> C-a d
[07:03] <CoUrPsE> :(
[07:03] <CoUrPsE> My Rhythembox is broke.
[07:04] <Vovk> so fun stuff... if you do a google trends search of ubuntu, you can see it spike every 6 months, and it's just starting to spike now :D
[07:04] <astrOdz> hey is it possible to install all the apt-get packages with 1 command?
[07:04] <PRIDE> anyone kno how to webcam someone who has aim over pidgin
[07:04] <CoUrPsE> astrOdz, You are kidding right?
[07:04] <Vovk> astr0dz, that sounds like an awful idea
[07:05] <Decessus> PRIDE, I do not believe that pidgin natively supports a webcam
[07:05] <rww> astrOdz: no, because some of them conflict, for a start.
[07:05] <almoxarife> see
[07:05] <steven_> I have a problem.  When trying to install Xubuntu in Virtualbox for 64-bit I get the following message:  This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU.  I have installed 64-bit for regular Ubuntu.  What gives?
[07:05] <astrOdz> ah thanks :D
[07:05] <almoxarife> skipe
[07:05] <PRIDE> can ubuntu support aim?
[07:05] <rww> steven_: what's the output if you type "uname -a" in a terminal?
[07:05] <capetown> What is the best way to ask a question in this forum to get assistance (I'd google my problem but firefox keeps crashing...) ta
[07:05] <astrOdz> I have an old ultrasparc i'm screwing with
[07:05] <almoxarife> yes
[07:05] <almoxarife> pidgin
[07:05] <Vovk> PRIDE: yep
[07:06] <rww> PRIDE: Pidgin supports AIM. Pidgin doesn't support video chat on AIM.
[07:06] <PCMX> probably gonna get yelled at for asking this, but does anyone remember release date for karmic of the top of their head?
[07:06] <Vovk> PRIDE: pidgin, and in 1 day (hurray karmic) empathy
[07:06] <volante> i can't get wireless going with dell studio xps in 9.04 or 9.10
[07:06] <Decessus> If I recall, there is a linux version of aim
[07:06] <Vovk> PCMX tomorrow
[07:06] <almoxarife> 29th
[07:06] <CoUrPsE> 0.o
[07:06] <PRIDE> karmic?????
[07:06] <rww> PCMX: some time during the 29th in some timezone.
[07:06] <CoUrPsE> karmic is released tomorrow?
[07:06] <PRIDE> ohhhh
[07:06] <steven_> 2.6.28-16-generic #55-Ubuntu SMP  2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[07:06] <PCMX> thanks =D
[07:06] <PRIDE> 9.10
[07:06] <volante> it uses the broadcom bcm4322 chip
[07:06] <PRIDE> 9.10
[07:06] <Vovk> CoUrPsE: as long as today is wednesday the 28th wherever you are
[07:07] <almoxarife> so, as of tomorrow this 'is' the karmic channel?
[07:07] <CoUrPsE> Nice.
[07:07] <Decessus> volante, have you tried MadWifif?
[07:07] <Vovk> If you WANT to upgrade
[07:07] <CoUrPsE> almoxarife, No, this is the #ubuntu channel.
[07:07] <Vovk> i suggest do it now
[07:07] <rww> almoxarife: once Karmic is released, #ubuntu+1 will be closed and this channel will allow support for Karmic, yes.
[07:07] <Vovk> there's always a swarm of downloads on release day :^|
[07:07] <Vovk> good for torrents
[07:07] <Vovk> bad for anything else
[07:07] <almoxarife> we all be chatting morrow then
[07:07] <steven_> I wish I could figure out how to install Xubuntu in Virtualbox...grrr
[07:08] <PRIDE> mmm....
[07:08] <Vovk> steven_: err... what problem you having?
[07:08] <DaZ> steven_: next, next, next, finish
[07:08] <Billiard> steven_: what is there to figure out
[07:08] <PRIDE> can empathy webcam to aim?
[07:08] <Vovk> PRIDE: i've never tried O.o
[07:08] <almoxarife> steven, d/l the iso and then install in virtualbox
[07:08] <Vovk> PRIDE: it had a little webcam icon though, the last time i looked :D
[07:08] <steven_> It won't accept me.  I get a message bout not being able to boot because I do not have a x86-64 kernel or whatever when in fact I do!  It says I have a i686
[07:08] <PRIDE> can ubuntu supported aim webcam with aim?
[07:08] <steven_> That is a load of crap
[07:09] <PRIDE> Vovk: sounds promissing
[07:09] <almoxarife> steven, try installing the 32
[07:09] <Decessus> PRIDE, http://www.aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp#features
[07:09] <Vovk> steven_: you need to use the 32 bit version of ubuntu. your Virtual Machine can't handle a 64 bit host... for whatever reason
[07:09] <Vovk> steven_: PROBABLY because you're running 32 bit windows
[07:09] <steven_> I am using 64-bit Ubuntu
[07:09] <steven_> for x86-64
[07:09] <almoxarife> ohh
[07:09] <Vovk> steven_: installing xubuntu in a vm?
[07:09] <harrison-bergero> ok gene6 FTP is installed and running
[07:10] <steven_> Iyes
[07:10] <harrison-bergero> now what?
[07:10] <PRIDE> whats xubuntu?
[07:10] <almoxarife> harry?
[07:10] <steven_> I guess Xubuntu does not work in Virtualbox
[07:10] <Decessus> xfce ubuntu
[07:10] <CoUrPsE> harrison-bergero, You set up user accounts?
[07:10] <Vovk> steven_: O.o just install the xubuntu package and stop trollin with "I guess this doesn't work"
[07:10] <astrOdz> ah the core utils are workign finally
[07:10] <harrison-bergero> no just the admin
[07:10] <astrOdz> thanks guys
[07:10] <CoUrPsE> ?
[07:10] <CoUrPsE> admin?
[07:10] <CoUrPsE> What version have you got?
[07:10] <coordinador> I cant stand the wait until the 10.04 are available!!!! :D:D:D
[07:11] <steven_> Nah, I will just assume it doesn't work as that is usually the case.  Later all.
[07:11] <mattwj2002> !10.04
[07:11] <coordinador> the 10.04 repositories
[07:11] <Vovk> coordinador: but 9.10's not even released yet O.o
[07:11] <tasslehoff> I'm running dual screen (nvidia twinview). What is it that decides which display gets the gnome-panel?
[07:11] <mattwj2002> :D
[07:11] <Vovk> !trolling | steven_
[07:11] <purma> is karmic released tomorrow?
[07:11] <mattwj2002> :D
[07:11] <coordinador> i always install in two partitions the last release
[07:11] <coordinador> but in one of that, i change the repositories to the next release
[07:11] <maco> purma: yes, some time while it is 29 Oct in at least one timezone
[07:11] <coordinador> so i can watch the edgiest changes :D
[07:12] <Vovk> Also... suggesting that you do a clean install of karmic from a CD (backing up the home directory) instead of hitting the upgrade button
[07:12] <harrison-bergero> courpse...so the default administrator has super user rights, what now?
[07:12] <Vovk> you could be helpful and torrent the CD for yourself (seeding to others afterwards :D )
[07:12] <ubuntu_> I need help with installing FF 3.5 on my ubuntu please.
[07:12] <PRIDE> the aim for linux site does not say if video chat is supported ....am i to assume that it is not?
[07:12] <CoUrPsE> harrison-bergero, Did you install it on your *nix or your *doze ?
[07:13] <harrison-bergero> doze
[07:13] <capetown> Okay... I an using a 8gb Duracell USB flashdrive made using the "USB startup disk creator".... everything is fine except my swap file is maxxed out at 122 MiB does anyone know how to increase this size? I can't google it since firefox keeps crashing probably because the swapfile is maxxed... Thank you.

[07:18] <PCMX> :-@! - Why do people insist on backpacking crapware on software installs?!
[07:19] <Sirisian> When writing a module inside of the init function is there an easy way to get the ppid and the puid showing who started the module. As a test I want to printk them.
[07:19] <knoppies> coordinador, Sounds like a plan. Try it, tell me what its like
[07:19] <knoppies> PCMX, Because its the only way for them to get a captive market. Thats one of the (many) reasons Im pro for Open Source.
[07:19] <Psinetic> ok. I'm on Ubuntu 9.04. I'm having a problem where everytime i click on a specific column in the places menu it plays dvd's instead of opens folders.

[07:21] <coordinador> Matt1360, what is your problem?
[07:21] <zipito> good day
[07:21] <coordinador> oh i see
[07:22] <Matt1360> coordinador: Hm?

I have been trying to get help with this in THIS channel for almost a week and it's still not resolved. I refuse to talk to anyone who is not in the US Navy or Retired from the US Navy
[07:22] <volante> the karmik installer has issues. you choose "install ubuntu" and it bootsi nto the live image.
[07:22] <coordinador> Matt1360, i made a mistake, i wanted to talk to mattwj2002
[07:22] <zipito> If I upgrade via update_manager now from 9.04 to 9.10 ? what I'll get ? the stable packages or still Beta packages ?
[07:22] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: i've got this stupid "Shiretoko" i installed thru a guide, so the commend you gave me tells me there's already a FF3.5 installed.
[07:22] <Matt1360> coordinador: Oh, okay, sorry about that. Have a good night! :)
[07:22] <ActionParsnip1> Psinetic: if you remove the army bit from it people might help
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> psychuil: Why do you think you aren't getting any help then?
[07:22] <mattwj2002> hi coordinador
[07:22] <tonyyarusso> err, @ Psinetic rather
[07:22] <mattwj2002> what is up?
[07:22] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: firefox 3.5 is shiretoko
[07:23] <ActionParsnip1> !shiretoko
[07:23] <Psinetic> navy**, and i'm asking the question specifically because I want to talk with someone from the navy. that's the point.
[07:23] <knoppies> Psinetic, I heared you the first time. i remember you asking before but as I said, I dont know the cause of the problem or the solution. You could always try reinstall ubuntu.
[07:23] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: that link tells you wy
[07:23] <harrison-bergero> quick question where is the "host name" tab?
[07:23] <knoppies> Psinetic, then nvm
[07:23] <ActionParsnip1> s/wy/why
[07:23] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip1: he's navy, I think, an angry squid
[07:23] <Psinetic> knoppies, i've reinstalled this OS three times, i'm not doing it again.
[07:23] <Psinetic> no i can't find a navy based channel that actually has anyone in it
[07:23] <tonyyarusso> Psinetic: We don't discriminate against helpers here - if you want help, you want it from everyone, otherwise you should be getting it through Navy channels, not here.
[07:24] <ActionParsnip1> Psinetic: why do they have to be from the navy?
[07:24] <almoxarife> Psinetic: the navy was windows based
[07:24] <Psinetic> tonyyarusso, don't see that in your channel guidelines ;)
[07:24] <knoppies> ActionParsnip1, He just wants to talk to someone from the navy
[07:24] <mattwj2002> coordinator I was wondering how to convert jpeg2000 files but I figured it out on my own
[07:24] <ActionParsnip1> Psinetic: do navy folks know more about ubuntu than anyone else or something?
[07:24] <mattwj2002> thanks anyways
[07:24] <Psinetic> because i want to talk with someone from the navy >_>
[07:24] <renwo> test
[07:24] <ActionParsnip1> knoppies: i see
[07:24] <mattwj2002> the answer is jasperuntime
[07:24] <mattwj2002> :)
[07:24] <almoxarife> navy folk know windows inside out
[07:25] <knoppies> Psinetic, Sorry i cant help.
[07:25] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: Isn't there a proper FF3.5?  You can download the tar.gz from firefox website and extract it to /opt then symlink the binry to your $PATH
[07:26] <psychuil> Sorry about my lang.
[07:26] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: all you have to do is go into about: config   and change shiretoko in the agent ID to firefox
[07:26] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: and websites will like you again
[07:26] <psychuil> I get broken CSS half the time, is that coz of the agent ID?
[07:27] <volante> anyone know how to work around this bug with the karmic install cd always booting the live image even when i choose "install ubuntu"?
[07:27] <almoxarife> I thought all retired squids were cool, I was wrong
[07:28] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: possibly, open the config then search for shiretoko   edit the value and change it to firefox
[07:29] <ActionParsnip1> !karmic | volante
[07:29] <volante> actionparsnip: ok. thats a pretty bad bug then.
[07:30] <PRIDE> am i to assume that aim for linux does not have webcam
[07:30] <PRIDE> ?
[07:30] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: I've changed it, didn't really help. Unless i need to restart it to get the effect..
[07:31] <PRIDE> ello?
[07:31] <tonyyarusso> PRIDE: There's not even any such thing as aim for linux.
[07:32] <coordinador> OH GOD! TOO BAD! IN MY INSTALLATION PROCESS! i got:  "no space left on device", how could that happen since its a 2gb partition?
[07:32] <PRIDE> http://www.aim.com/get_aim/linux/latest_linux.adp#features
[07:32] <tonyyarusso> PRIDE: You can however do video chat on XMPP at least, and I think there is experimental MSN support available.  I haven't heard anything about video for the AIM protocol in third-party clients yet.
[07:32] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: yes you must restart the browser
[07:32] <tonyyarusso> coordinador: The standard desktop Ubuntu install is slightly larger than 2GB, yes.
[07:32] <PRIDE> mmm
[07:33] <coz_> coordinador,  yes you are going to need quite a bit more for ubuntu installation
[07:33] <tonyyarusso> PRIDE: wow, those screenshots look straight out of 1995... :P  I have no idea if that works or not.
[07:33] <ActionParsnip1> coordinador: 2Gb isnt a great deal, have you considered u-lite
[07:33] <PRIDE> lol...yeah
[07:33] <nic1> does anyone know what is docking windows?
[07:33] <PRIDE> some one gave that to me some 5 minutes ago
[07:33] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: is there a GUI based download manager for linux? since it seems shiretoko isn't up to the challenge of downloading files :\
[07:33] <coordinador> oh, maybe somebody would tell that me before the half  hour wait xd
[07:33] <PRIDE> but it sais nothing about webcam
[07:34] <coz_> coordinador,  at the least you are going to need 4gigs of space
[07:34] <PRIDE> webcam capability  and such
[07:34] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: some use jdownloader, theres gwget too, i'm not sure as I just use the download manager in opera
[07:34] <Decessus> PRIDE, those are only the new features, but yes, empathy does support video, so aim video chat should be possible
[07:34] <PRIDE> Decessus : thx bro
[07:35] <Andorin> Can anyone explain why my connection stopped giving me access to the Internet the second I sent a message to a channel in xchat?
[07:35] <PRIDE> i'm gonna hop over to #voipcoop
[07:35] <tonyyarusso> PRIDE: Based on the Debian package versions, the last release of that was probably seven years ago.  :S  Good luck.
[07:35] <coordinador> COZ_ why i cant write your name with CO+tab?
[07:35] <PRIDE> tonyyarusso : thx
[07:35] <coz_> coordinador,  not sure  it should be easily done
[07:36] <coordinador> ok, is case sensitive
[07:36] <coz_> coordinador,   just type coz then hit tab
[07:36] <coordinador> coz_, tomorrow i will buy a 4gb sd card, exist something like a "Faster SD card"?
[07:37] <tonyyarusso> coordinador: Yes, usually you can see speed ratings on web sites for them (like Newegg)
[07:37] <coordinador> may be if i paint fire in the sd-microsd adapter works faster...
[07:37] <coz_> coordinador,  well I am not at all experienced with installing on external media  but  I wuold guess a larger media would be necessary  you could google installing ubuntu on external media  like flash drive etc :)
[07:38] <coordinador> i will investigate about that
[07:38] <coz_> coordinador,  cool :)
[07:38] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: I come to find too many tutorials around the web on installing stuff, and they always say something like "do 'sudo apt-get install <some package>'" And i never seem to have that package. Could it be coz i'm running ubuntu from a liveusb?
[07:39] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: no it will probably be because you dont have the correct repository enabled
[07:39] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: there is no difference to a USB install to one on an internal drive except speed (USB being damn slow and bursty)
[07:39] <PRIDE> whats the difference between ubuntu, kubuntu, and xubuntu?
[07:40] <ActionParsnip1> PRIDE: default DE
[07:40] <cwalsh> Ubuntu uses the GNOME desktop, Kubuntu KDE
[07:40] <PRIDE> de?
[07:40] <coz_> Pricey,  xubuntu uses  xfce as the desktop environment
[07:40] <meowmintx> hey all i need help with my sound problem
[07:40] <Kurogane> is possible to point ip public (not mine) to my localhost ?
[07:40] <ActionParsnip1> desktop environment
[07:40] <cwalsh> Xubuntu = XFCE
[07:40] <PRIDE> kk
[07:40] <coz_> PRIDE,  sorry that was for you
[07:40] <PRIDE> thx
[07:40] <coz_> Pricey,  sorry  mis tabbed there :)
[07:40] <PRIDE> thx cozy thx ActionParsnip1
[07:40] <tonyyarusso> Kurogane: Depends what you mean by that - what are you trying to do?
[07:41] <ActionParsnip1> PRIDE: its the same OS underneath, you can even install xfce on ubuntu to effectively get xubuntu
[07:41] <PRIDE> kool...thanks action
[07:41] <meowmintx> its to do with sound in general. what i am getting is a delayed reaction while playing mp3s atm its not playing in real time and not working. i have saves alsamixer as my sound card as my onboard one is stufed
[07:41] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: how do i hunt down the right repo then?
[07:42] <ActionParsnip1> Kurogane: you can port forward / virtual server     you tell the router to forward certain port numbers to a certain IP and it will connect
[07:42] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: example
[07:42] <ActionParsnip1> !info firefox
[07:42] <harrison-bergero> every single file was a connection timed out error!
[07:43] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: if you read the above you can see firefox is in te main repository, if you cannot install firefox you need to make sure you have the main repo enabled
[07:43] <ActionParsnip1> !info devede
[07:43] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: that app is in the multiverse repo so will need to have that enabled to get access
[07:44] <Kurogane> tonyyarusso, for example i want to ping <IP_ADDRESS> and the ping respond like as localhost not as internet
[07:44] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: if its not in the standard repo, you can find a PPA to add and install from someone elses packages to get what you want
[07:44] <tonyyarusso> Kurogane: ah, you should be able to do that by adding an entry to /etc/hosts
[07:46] <tonyyarusso> Kurogane: actually, it may be more involved than that - hold on a sec
[07:46] <Kurogane> ActionParsnip1, i don't have router and i don't like use router neither
[07:46] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: i'm was trying to install jdownloader, and i needed to get java-6-sun for it, but i can't.
[07:46] <Kurogane> tonyyarusso, ok thanks
[07:46] <ActionParsnip1> Kurogane: why they give you an extra firewall
[07:46] <ActionParsnip1> !java | psychuil
[07:47] <psychuil> !multiverse
[07:48] <Kurogane> ActionParsnip1, what you mean extra firewall?
[07:48] <meowmintx> !info alsamixer
[07:48] <meowmintx> alsa mixer does so
[07:48] <ActionParsnip1> Kurogane: due to the nature of NAT, if an unrequested connection comes in, a router will drop it if there is no request for that data or there is no rule to allow the traffic
[07:49] <mnemonica> Say I want to change the znes launcher in my games menu to launch znes -ad sdl instead of just znes. How would I do that?
[07:49] <rashed2020> If I copy my home dir to another computer that has the same packages installed, am I going to have the exact same system I copied the dir from?
[07:49] <ActionParsnip1> mnemonica: alacarte
[07:49] <mnemonica> actionparsnip1: I assume that can be found in synaptic?
[07:49] <psychuil> can i log in as root on my liveusb?
[07:50] <ActionParsnip1> mnemonica: you already have it
[07:50] <psychuil> Coz i'm loged in as 'live session user' by default.
[07:50] <psychuil> And no, i get alot of 'you can't do that' errors.
[07:50] <mnemonica> actionparsnip1: Where at? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
[07:51] <ActionParsnip1> mnemonica: why do you have to see it? press alt+f2   type  alacarte   press enter
[07:51] <meowmintx> its to do with sound in general. what i am getting is a delayed reaction while playing mp3s atm its not playing in real time and not working. i have saves alsamixer as my sound card as my onboard one is stufed
[07:52] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: use sudo then, you can do anything you like then
[07:52] <mnemonica> Actionparsnip1: so I suppose I have to add a new one?
[07:53] <ActionParsnip1> mnemonica: no, just edit the one thats already there
[07:53] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: i did 'gedit /etc/apt/sources.list' and changed some stuff, but when i tried to save it told me i'm not allowed to do that.
[07:53] <histo> !sudo psychuil
[07:54] <histo> !sudo | psychuil
[07:54] <cwillu_at_work> psychuil, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:54] <cwillu_at_work> some day gvfs will grow the ability to prompt for auth when needed, but not today :p
[07:54] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: thats why, gedit ran as you, a user. add gksudo to the start of the command
[07:55] <rashed2020> Wouldn't sudo gedit work as well?
[07:55] <fahadsadah> rashed2020: It's bad practise.
[07:55] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: if you  dont add sudo or gksudo the app is ran as a user, users dont have write access to /etc so youwill be denied access
[07:55] <rashed2020> I really don't see that much difference in application. Works either way.
[07:55] <ActionParsnip1> rashed2020: it will but its not advised as sudo is for CLI apps ONLY
[07:55] <psychuil> So just add sudo to everything i do?
[07:56] <mnemonica> actionparsnip1: forgive my ignorance, but how? I don't see an option for that.
[07:56] <fahadsadah> psychuil: gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:56] <ActionParsnip1> rashed2020: sudo doesnt configure the X environment correctly so ownerships and paermissions getdamaged, hence why gksudo and kdesudo exist
[07:56] <knoppies> psychuil, only if you need admin privilages.
[07:56] <psychuil> I always need admin privilages :D
[07:56] <ActionParsnip1> mnemonica: ok if you read the left pane you will find games
[07:56] <knoppies> psychuil, be careful when using sudo, or gksu (for gui applications) it often assumes you know what you doing. and doesnt ask for confirmation
[07:57] <psychuil> And ActionParsnip1, talk to me like to a complete idiot please, since half the stuff you say goes over my head :)
[07:57] <knoppies> psychuil, I only use sudo or gksu if I have to.
[07:57] <mnemonica> actionparsnip1: right click on the entry, choose properties. Sorry, it's late, I'm an idiot... Haha, thanks much for your help.
[07:57] <ActionParsnip1> mnemonica: if you click on games, the right pane wil then become the content of the games panel, only the ticked items will show and you will see a lot there
[07:58] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: ok lets do this the easy way
[07:58] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: in windows the user modelling is absolutely appauling
[07:58] <chunknuts> ok
[07:58] <chunknuts> I'
[07:58] <chunknuts> l'll tr y to be back
[07:58] <chunknuts> quit
[07:58] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: every user is an admin and has full reign over all folders without issue
[07:59] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: this keeps the windows idiots happy as they dont have to worry about permissions as its too much for them to comprehend
[07:59] <psychuil> Got a problem when i tried installing mplayer.
[07:59] <justlooking1> use vlc instead
[07:59] <a|3xx> i am having difficulties with mounting ntfs partition, anybody care to help?
[07:59] <psychuil> mplayer: Depends: libartsc0 (>= 1.5.2-0) but it is not installable
[07:59] <psychuil> And 3 more of those.
[08:00] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: unfortunately this makes them run teir email clients, irc clients and web browsers as admin so if a malicious piece of code is ran by these apps they also have fulll system access and they get viruses
[08:00] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: with me so far?
[08:00] <a|3xx> $ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 sdb1  ---   Incomplete multi-sector transfer: Input/output error
[08:00] <a|3xx> sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1   reports as everything ok
[08:00] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: ya, i got the point of the whole sudo thingy.
[08:00] <psychuil> Can't say i completely agree with the attitude :)
[08:01] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: your call, windows has appauling user modelling'
[08:01] <PRIDE> whats a good torrent program?
[08:01] <Cheapsexandbooze> shit
[08:01] <Cheapsexandbooze> transmission
[08:02] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: can you help me with the mplayer install?
[08:02] <Cheapsexandbooze> thats what i use
[08:02] <PRIDE> mmm
[08:02] <justlooking1> vuse and java
[08:02] <PRIDE> and whats a good torrent site?
[08:02] <psychuil> i've been following this: http://www.debianadmin.com/install-mplayer-ubuntu.html
[08:02] <ActionParsnip1> !ot | PRIDE
[08:02] <psychuil> and on 'sudo apt-get install mplayer' i get broken packages.
[08:02] <Cheapsexandbooze> isohunt
[08:03] <Cheapsexandbooze> pirate bay
[08:03] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: did you add the repo in the guide?
[08:03] <psychuil> Ya.
[08:03] <Cheapsexandbooze> or just search in google and add torrent
[08:03] <psychuil> That why i asked you about editing the said file :)
[08:03] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: ok read the name of the site, its a debian guide. You are running ubuntu, not debian
[08:03] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: remove the repo
[08:04] <tonyyarusso> Kurogane: This appears to work, although I'm not sure if it's the 'right' way:  sudo ifconfig lo:0 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> up
[08:04] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: mplayer is in the standard repos and is ready to install now, you are getting dependancy issues as you are mixing debian and ubuntu
[08:04] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: check the title of the post. 'Install Mplayer in Ubuntu Linux'
[08:04] <ActionParsnip1> !info mplayer
[08:05] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: its in the repos
[08:05] <ActionParsnip1> version 1.0
[08:05] <Cheapsexandbooze> xine is good
[08:05] <psychuil> ok, so i should remove the two links i've added?
[08:05] <ActionParsnip1> you dont need any extra repos
[08:06] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: yeah do, then all you have to run is: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install mplayer
[08:06] <USUARIO> help me
[08:06] <USUARIO> i have compiz config problem
[08:06] <USUARIO> on ubuntu
[08:06] <USUARIO> please i need help
[08:06] <ActionParsnip1> !enter | USUARIO
[08:06] <Kurogane> tonyyarusso, that very nice trick! why I did not think this before!
[08:06] <knoppies> USUARIO, define your problem.
[08:07] <myung> i have compiz problem
[08:07] <tonyyarusso> Kurogane: probably because it's completely unintuitive and I'm pretty sure there's a "better" way in kernels 2.4 and higher ;)
[08:07] <myung> i did sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm
[08:07] <fahadsadah> Is there a recursive option to ls?
[08:07] <myung> and was enabling stuff
[08:07] <Kurogane> tonyyarusso, only remain one thing, how save that ifconfig? becuase when reboot is lost
[08:07] <myung> and then everything got black
[08:07] <ActionParsnip1> myung: you said, can you please use all one line
[08:07] <myung> tried xfix and nothing
[08:07] <PRIDE> Remote Desktop question
[08:07] <myung> ops srry ActionParsnip1
[08:07] <tonyyarusso> Kurogane: edit /etc/network/interfaces
[08:07] <knoppies> PRIDE, shoot.
[08:08] <myung> i sudo apt-get install simple ccsm and was enabling graphic effects and stuff
[08:08] <PRIDE> can i connect two different distros?
[08:08] <myung> but then the screen got black and tried xfix but nothing
[08:08] <ActionParsnip1> myung: have you tried booting to root recovery mode and deleteing .compiz from your home directory'
[08:08] <ActionParsnip1> myung: then rebooting
[08:08] <myung> now when i log in ubuntu, hitting right click, or application, or just opening a menu i get a black box and then the whole screen goes black
[08:09] <PRIDE> knoppies, lets say 9.10 with 9.04....or Asus with ubuntu
[08:09] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: Shiretoko can't seem to save files, it's stuck on 'a few seconds left'. Why could that be?
[08:09] <myung> and yes, i just did open session as failsafe terminal session and sudo apt-get autoremove simple ccsm but still nothing
[08:09] <knoppies> PRIDE, you can even connect windows with linux. Depends on what protocol you use. I use VNC
[08:09] <knoppies> PRIDE, tightvncserver.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: no idea, i dont use firefox
[08:10] <PRIDE> knoppies, in that case i'll just worry about it when i get home to try it out
[08:10] <PRIDE> knoppies, thx
[08:10] <knoppies> PRIDE, yea ok. not sure if vnc is the best root, but I like it.
[08:10] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: maybe the server is just being slow for the last Mb or so'
[08:11] <knoppies> PRIDE, Glad I could help, hope all goes well.
[08:11] <PRIDE> knoppies, yup, thx thx
[08:11] <myung> im right now on dual boot with windows xp, cuz this is my schools´ computer u know
[08:11] <myung> can u help?
[08:13] <psychuil> ActionParsnip1: it happened on all the files i've tried downloading, from 3-4 servers.
[08:13] <ActionParsnip1> psychuil: could try closing all firefoxes then renaming ~/.mozilla to see if its a bad profile
[08:14] <myung> soo ActionParsnip1 can u help me?
[08:14] <harrison-bergero> ubuntu windows network question....at 100mbit how fast are your transfer rates?  Im at 3.5MB/s...seems a bit slow since ive been able to hit 9.5 win to win
[08:14] <obiwan_> hi, please i'm not sure about this, but i think there's a command to show how does each mode work, for example b is for banning, and so on
[08:15] <ActionParsnip1> myung: if i could I would have replied
[08:15] <obiwan_> can you remember about any command that will shouw em? something like /help modes or /help flags or sth like that i thought
[08:15] <obiwan_> i'm not sure but i think i read it before
[08:16] <tonyyarusso> harrison-bergero: Usually you should be able to get about half the theoretical, so 100Mbit = 12.5MB/s, half that is about 6MB/s.  So yeah, you're a little on the slow side right now.
[08:16] <noobdziekan> obiwan_: documenaion :f
[08:17] <almoxarife> I am here to tell you  that 'dnsmasq' is worth the install, btw, the cache needs to be at least at 5000
[08:17] <pixie_pie> does anyone know how i can change a set of passwords with a script?
[08:17] <ActionParsnip1> almoxarife: yeah its pretty sweet
[08:18] <almoxarife> yeah :) ActionParsnip1
[08:18] <tonyyarusso> pixie_pie: well, you probably can, but it's probably not advisable since you'd have them in plaintext.
[08:18] <pixie_pie> it's ok tonyyarusso
[08:19] <pixie_pie> unless....
[08:19] <obiwan_> noobdziekan: what's that? :documentation:?
[08:19] <pixie_pie> i can adduser -p putpasswordhere username
[08:19] <pixie_pie> useradd rather
[08:19] <pixie_pie> is there a way i can put the password in there, tony?
[08:19] <pixie_pie> i heard it has to be encrypted so i'm confused about it
[08:19] <obiwan_> nooooo don't do -p
[08:19] <obiwan_> i did it once , it's not what you think
[08:20] <pixie_pie> it can't be right that passwd usernamea
[08:20] <obiwan_> the -p will set the crypted password, not the one you would write before being encrypted
[08:20] <pixie_pie> so how can i make my script do that?
[08:20] <pixie_pie> it doesn't work as is
[08:20] <pixie_pie> the script runs and then the shell waits for user input
[08:20] <obiwan_> you have to do passwd
[08:20] <pixie_pie> i do:
[08:20] <pixie_pie> useradd -g groupa -G othergroups user1
[08:20] <pixie_pie> passwd u1
[08:21] <obiwan_> noobdziekan: please i don't know what you mean about documentation :$
[08:21] <pixie_pie> oops
[08:21] <pixie_pie> password user1
[08:21] <tonyyarusso> pixie_pie: It's a little more complicated than that.  You'd have to wait and then send it into stdin when it was expected.
[08:21] <pixie_pie> i enter also the password twice on the next two lines
[08:21] <pixie_pie> tonyyarusso but i don't want any stdin input
[08:21] <tonyyarusso> pixie_pie: you can send stuff to stdin from a script

[08:22] <PRIDE> what are some webcam programs for ubuntu, like cheese? dosnt have to be VoIP
