[07:36] <terriblesarcasm> oh, hmm i was almost positive that around last month i had been in a channel similar to ubuntu-devel-beginners or something like that
[07:36] <iflema> Diverdude: ive had trouble with evolution in past with plugins for rss feeds
[07:37] <rance94> airtonix it takes an hour????
[07:37] <hipitihop> does anyone know where the configuration file is for the ATI FGLRX driver ? I can't get it to do the right thing via the GUI and just want the equivalent of xorg.conf
[07:37] <andresmh> If my webcam doesn't work with either cheese nor gstreamer-properties but it used to work. what is the best way to submit a bug report? ubuntu-bug cheese?
[07:37] <Madpilot> terriblesarcasm, for ubuntu, there's #ubuntu-motu, but they're mostly for packaging, not programming
[07:37] <knx_> i have a problem with opensuse: when i try to login as user it says "authentication failure"!
[07:37] <gh0s7> can anyone help me with nessus? I can't find how to launch to application i've tried launching it via terminal by typing in nessus but it won't launch. I installed it using the deb on nessus' website

[07:38] <rance94> airtonix i had windows and i burnt ubuntu on too a usb
[07:38] <hipitihop> Bridge|, scp
[07:38] <rance94> airtonix now i boot it wit that
[07:38] <airtonix> rance94, and where did you get ubuntu from originally?
[07:39] <jennie> Does ubuntu have a full DVD OS like other OS have ?
[07:39] <rance94> airtonix www.ubuntu.com
[07:39] <iflema> gh0s7: did you mean nexiuz? FPS
[07:39] <rance94> jennie yes
[07:39] <terriblesarcasm> airtonix: couldn't he just use the usb to install the virtual machine?
[07:39] <airtonix> rance94, so you still have the file you used to setup the usb boot ?
[07:39] <gh0s7> iflema no i mean nessus
[07:39] <iflema> k
[07:39] <airtonix> terriblesarcasm, sure if you want to walk him through that
[07:39] <rance94> airtonix it is on my usb
[07:39] <bastid_raZor> error404notfound: adding them to /usr/local/bin or including ~/bin in your $PATH would make it much easier to do what your complicating
[07:39] <Huneph> hey can anyone help me set up jack to use pulseaudio?
[07:39] <Huneph> i've got pulseaudio-module-jack
[07:39] <bastid_raZor> s/your/you're
[07:39] <jennie> rance94 but on ubuntu site there are only CD version in the download section
[07:39] <Huneph> just don't know how to set it up
[07:39] <rance94> airtonix i could get it off
[07:39] <error404notfound> bastid_raZor, nah, did something else :P
[07:39] <iflema> oooh
[07:40] <airtonix> rance94, so you do already have the iso file avilable ?
[07:40] <rance94> airtonix yeah im pretty sure
[07:40] <Dr_Willis> jennie:  the dvd version just has addational languages and a few other things. No real need to use the DVD version
[07:40] <airtonix> rance94, ok, so now need to know which version of ubuntu you are running
[07:41] <rance94> on this laptop im running 9.10 on the usb it is still 9.04
[07:41] <Huneph> i need help setting up pulse audio and jack together
[07:41] <andresmh> bummer, it sucks to get no response
[07:41] <Diverdude> is there a place which is usually used to store different mountpoints?
[07:41] <airtonix> rance94, are you doing this python work on the laptop?
[07:41] <jennie> Dr_Willis, dont the dvd version include most of packages ? I thought DVD has most of packages like other distros have
[07:41] <rance94> airtonix yes
[07:41] <andresmh> i'll try reddit/r/ubuntu :)
[07:41] <Dr_Willis> jennie:  Nope. Not really.
[07:42] <airtonix> rance94, ok install virtualbox-3.0
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> jennie:  thers a 'b-side' project taht includes a lot of extra packages for ubuntu if you want to install some things for a machines thats offline
[07:42] <airtonix> !search virtualbox-3.0
[07:42] <airtonix> !search virtualbox
[07:42] <rance94> airtonix i do have it installed
[07:42] <jennie> give me link
[07:43] <Huneph> anyone?
[07:43] <airtonix> rance94, ok start it up then.
[07:43] <rance94> airtonix k it is up
[07:43] <gh0s7> anyone help me with nessus client 4.0?
[07:43] <airtonix> rance94, click the blue star icon for new machine
[07:43] <rance94> k
[07:44] <el_compA> Hello I have an installation question, I have ubuntu 9.04, if I want to do a fresh install of ubuntu, and I want to do a fresh install of 9.10, is it ok to install grub again? Also, do I need to do anything before installing like format? (I have a dualboot with windows)
[07:44] <rance94> airtonix wanna private chat
[07:44] <airtonix> rance94, no because then it deprives others of helping you also
[07:44] <rance94> airtonix ahh true ok soo im gonna name it then...
[07:45] <laocoon> I need help with my xorg.conf file as it will not allow me to force a resolution
[07:45] <jennie> Dr_Willis , where can i get the bside project link ?
[07:45] <airtonix> rance94, 1) new machine 2) name it 3) select ostype : linux version : ubuntu 4) select memory size (250mb) 5) boot hard disk (create a new one 4gb) : fixed size
[07:46] <hipitihop> can someone help me to fully remove and re-install the ATI FGLRX driver
[07:46] <airtonix> rance94, if you have quite a large hardrive on your laptop feel free to gie it much more space on the virtual hard drive
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> jennie:  first guess.. google.. or check out my delicious.com links under 'dr_willis'
[07:46] <airtonix> rance94, same logic applies to the memory
[07:46] <Dr_Willis> jennie:  i might have it in my ubuntu tags
[07:46] <hipitihop> is there an ATI linux channel ?
[07:47] <laocoon> hipitihop: have you checked out http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Jaunty_Installation_Guide
[07:47] <airtonix> rance94, when you have that machine ready to boot in the list let me know
[07:47] <hipitihop> laocoon, looking now
[07:48] <laocoon> hipitihop: sudo apt-get remove --purge xorg-driver-fglrx to remove then reinstall with that guide
[07:48] <rance94> airtonix ok ill let u know
[07:48] <laocoon> hipitihop: pm?
[07:49] <hockeyrink1> Looks like an Atheros driver I need is on a dead website (http://partner.atheros.com/Drivers.aspx). Anybody have a copy of AR813X-linux-v<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz they can point me to?
[07:49] <dogatemycomputer> Greetings..   I have a question..   and this may sound strange.. but does Ubuntu/Conical/FOSS need money?
[07:50] <davep> amazing. wubi detected that there was only 6gb available and made a 5gb image
[07:50] <davep> it failed to detect that the installation iso would take up all that space.
[07:51] <rance94> airtonix ok it is ready!
[07:51] <andrew_46> dogatemycomputer: https://shop.canonical.com/ ?
[07:51] <airtonix> rance94, right click the entry in the list and click settings
[07:51] <dogatemycomputer> andrew_46:  well..  that's the thing..   I don't really want anything.
[07:51] <airtonix> rance94, then goto cd\dvdrom
[07:51] <terriblesarcasm> dogatemycomputer: http://www.ubuntu.com/community/donations ?
[07:51] <Huneph> can you guys help me set up pulseaudio and jack together?
[07:51] <rance94> airtonix k
[07:51] <davep> i mean, i could modify wubi to use an external drive for the installation iso, butttt
[07:52] <davep> my user experience is already destroyed :D
[07:52] <airtonix> rance94, 1) tick "mount cd/dvd-rom' 2) click the radio for ISO image-file 3) should be a folder button at the end there now (click it)
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> davep:  friends dont let friends use Wubi
[07:52] <dogatemycomputer> terriblesarcasm andrew_46:  good..  okay.. well.. here is what I was thinking..  I routinely donate to my local Public Radio Station and I donate to the Society for the Prevention and Cruelty to Animals.   I donate about $100/year to each because I give them my credit card number and they automatically draft $8/month out of my account which comes to about $100/year.
[07:53] <rance94> airtonix ok i clicked it
[07:53] <airtonix> rance94, 1) (toolbar up the top) click add 2) navigate to your usb drive (make sure it's plugged in and mounted) 3) find the iso file
[07:53] <terriblesarcasm> dogatemycomputer: i think that maybe you can set up a 'subscription' in paypal to do just that
[07:53] <dogatemycomputer> terriblesarcasm: andrew_46:   If you consider the average idiot spends about $100/year for Windows then I don't see why I have to login every month and donate manually.
[07:53] <davep> how can i manually set up a wubi-like installation?
[07:53] <rance94> airtonix k i have to go get usb brb
[07:53] <dtam> hey guys.. is there a shortcut key that rolls up the window? super + d iconizes all windows... what about rolling up?
[07:53] <davep> re-partitioning isnt an option :\
[07:54] <dogatemycomputer> terriblesarcasm: good..  so why can't Conical do that for people automatically?
[07:54] <airtonix> rance94, navigating to your usb drive will usually be at /media/<insert-name-of-the-drive-here>
[07:54] <davep> well, unless i pirated a decent partition resizer
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> davep:  thers always virtualbox.
[07:54] <davep> meh
[07:54] <rance94> airtonix k i just put it in
[07:54] <davep> its a netbook, no hardware virtualisation
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> davep:  i find gparted on the gparted-live-cd works well for me.
[07:54] <hockeyrink1> haha! Found a copy on a file-hoster.  For future reference for the logs: http://bebasupload.com/m2u3trvkjd7y/AR813X-linux-v<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz.html\
[07:54] <davep> alright, ill try it
[07:54] <terriblesarcasm> dogatemycomputer: because they are busy trying to code things that make canonical better :) , why recode something that is available on paypal? :)
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> davep:  i run virtualbox on my netbook. the low ram is a bit of a factor however.
[07:54] <davep> meh, i upgraded it to 2gb
[07:55] <airtonix> davep, buy another hardrive
[07:55] <dogatemycomputer> terriblesarcasm: I just think if people could contribute without having to "set it up" or "worry about it" (and more importantly.. do it without having to go through the process of creating a Paypal account) then I don't see why someone isn't managing this.    My Public Radio station just collected $700,000 in the last 45 days.
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> davep:  Such Powar!
[07:55] <davep> well
[07:55] <davep> i could buy a bigger ssd
[07:55] <dogatemycomputer> terriblesarcasm: because people are lazy and FOSS could use their money?
[07:55] <davep> but they cost about half the entire cost of the netbook
[07:55] <rance94> airtonix the iso isnt in there????
[07:55] <Dr_Willis> davep:  you can also just install/run from a  Decent sized flashdrive
[07:55] <dogatemycomputer> terriblesarcasm: unless you are saying FOSS doesn't need lazy people's money?
[07:55] <terriblesarcasm> dogatemycomputer: i don't know what FOSS is
[07:55] <el_compA_> Can anyone help me
[07:55] <dogatemycomputer> terriblesarcasm:  FREE AND OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE.
[07:56] <davep> well
[07:56] <airtonix> rance94, you then need to 1) find it 2) download it again.
[07:56] <davep> i put the kubuntu netbook installer on an 8gb drive
[07:56] <davep> it seems to "extract" to the target drive first
[07:56] <davep> THEN install
[07:56] <davep> >:|
[07:56] <rance94> airtonix hang on i think it might be in here let me look
[07:56] <davep> if i find the guy that came up with that...
[07:56] <terriblesarcasm> dogatemycomputer: if you can argue this much about how they don't do it you could have already set it up with paypal by now
[07:57] <maco> terriblesarcasm, dogatemycomputer: ummm offtopic much?
[07:57] <airtonix> ^^^
[07:57] <dogatemycomputer> maco:  hence my point.. where is "on topic" and who should I contact?
[07:57] <maco> dogatemycomputer: on topic is ubuntu support
[07:57] <airtonix> dogatemycomputer, http://www.ubuntu.com/aboutus/contactus
[07:58] <el_compA_> How do I do a fresh install of ubuntu 9.10 on a dual boot? Currently running 9.04 and windows
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> davep:  i just use unetbootin, or the usb-0creator tool or other guides to make a bootale usb disk. You dont put the installer on a usb, then 'install' to the same usb.
[07:58] <maco> dogatemycomputer: it might make more sense to pick a non-profit foundation or project making software you like, such as the GNOME Foundation, Apache Foundation, KDE, or Inkscape
[07:58] <airtonix> el_compA, insert the 91.0 cd in the cdrom drive and reboot
[07:58] <davep> well
[07:58] <davep> i think what i did was
[07:59] <davep> i copied the cd image files, then switched it to syslinux
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> davep:  I also learned how to setup grub2 to boot the various iso files from the flash/hd. whch lets me setup a 5+Disrto flash drive.
[07:59] <davep> it should be able to install DIRECTLY to a target drive
[07:59] <davep> why does a CD have to EXTRACT AN ISO to install?
[07:59] <airtonix> el_compA, 9.10 (karmic) cd i mean. ( assuming you already have the iso file and have burnt it to a blank cd)
[07:59] <terriblesarcasm> el_compA: install it onto the partition that currently has the older version of ubuntu on it
[07:59] <dogatemycomputer> maco:  well..  that makes sense but I always assumed that the company who is packaging/distributing all that software would be in a better position to collect funds and distribute them upstream to projects that help move the platform forward.    Don't worry though.. I appreciate the help.  I'll contact Support.
[07:59] <Dr_Willis> davep:  ive no idea what you are trying to do. Ive never had touse anything more then an iso file i downloaded and the unetbootin program.
[07:59] <reZo> hi, i'm running version 9.04 and nautilus keeps crashing constantly when i open a folder on desktop, how can i resolve this?
[07:59] <el_compA_> airtonix: But in the installation how do completely remove 9.04 and then install 9.10
[07:59] <davep> im trying to use wubi to install from within windows
[08:00] <maco> dogatemycomputer: the distribution does not distribute money among upstreams
[08:00] <davep> to an internal 8gb ssd.
[08:00] <maco> dogatemycomputer: canonical sells services to earn money
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> davep:  wubi is worth avoiding like its the plague. - thats the extent of my experience with Wubi.
[08:00] <dogatemycomputer> maco:  I think that should be someone's job at the distrubution.
[08:00] <maco> dogatemycomputer: if you want to give to upstream, you do so directly
[08:00] <airtonix> el_compA, yes, and this is where you learn that seperating your system files from your home/documents folder into two seperate partitions will save you much time and effort for future clean upgrades
[08:00] <Hans_Henrik_> ever since i installed and uninstalled ClamAV, my bootup has been slower, and "Starting AppArmor" is being done twice during bootup.. ideas what went wrong and/or how to fix?
[08:00] <davep> heh
[08:00] <davep> i wanted to avoid resizing the partition
[08:00] <davep> but wubi has forced my hand >:|
[08:00] <dogatemycomputer> maco: well.. the average idiot isn't going to go find someone upstream.. which is the problem I think needs correcting.
[08:00] <maco> dogatemycomputer: sending patches upstream is enough work :P
[08:01] <maco> dogatemycomputer: perhaps you could make a website with "donate to...." and then buttons for all different upstreams?
[08:01] <airtonix> el_compA_, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34136/screenshot_003_I4EkpE.png
[08:01] <el_compA_> airtonix: I tried doing that in a virtual machine and it failed
[08:01] <rance94> airtonix ok i finally found it
[08:01] <davep> oh, i see the problem now
[08:02] <davep> wubi appears to be a sandwhich of python scripts
[08:02] <rance94> airtonix i had to dig and im still not sure if this iso is the right one lol
[08:02] <davep> sandwich*
[08:02] <airtonix> rance94, i think it matters little, its only going to be your priate python server thing
[08:02] <OMama> how ubuntu is better than fedora ?
[08:02] <airtonix> rance94, private*
[08:02] <reZo> OMama, no,
[08:02] <airtonix> OMama, doesn't use rpm.
[08:02] <Diverdude> what is the command to show the Applications-menu? I need to make a shortcut for it
[08:02] <reZo> OMama, fedora is better then ubuntu.
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> OMama:  try them both out - see what you perfer.
[08:03] <rance94> airtonix huh o well ill try and see if this is it
[08:03] <airtonix> rance94, so you still ahve the selection window open for finding the iso file?
[08:03] <dogatemycomputer> maco:  thank you for the help and sorry for being off-topic!
[08:03] <rance94> no
[08:03] <davep> i love how the install fails.....and it makes no attempt to clean up
[08:03] <rance94> airtonix this takes sooo long lol and i need to go get the iso lmao
[08:04] <airtonix> rance94, ok in the vbox main window click file > virtual media manager
[08:04] <rance94> airtonix wait i have the live CD haha
[08:04] <tolonuga> hi. does anyone know how to get gdb in karmic to work? It somehow things my app is threaded, but it isn't, so it doesn't find the thread, and then hangs in error state - can't continue to debug. "[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]" "Cannot find new threads: generic error"
[08:04] <flexible> i have two x-screens running different monitors, and gnome is insisten on running on both... currently it keeps reloading the interface, which means it is unusable because nothing is focused... it is like they are both fighting to load... how do i stop Gnome from loading on a second display (screen1)
[08:04] <tolonuga> google shows many hits for that, so ubuntu has a broken gdb in karmic?
[08:04] <rance94> airtonix k
[08:04] <Dr_Willis> flexible:  good idea to always tell the channel what  video card you are using - in such a question.
[08:05] <airtonix> rance94, when you say "you have the live cd" is it a file or an actual physical disc
[08:05] <flexible> Dr_Willis: good point... it is an Nvidia 6600
[08:05] <el_compA_> Yes airtonix that's the partition I deleted and installed it on but it failed i get black screen that says starting init crypto disks...
[08:05] <rance94> airtonix it is the actual physical disk
[08:05] <Senesence> !find virtualbox
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> flexible:  you have installed the nvidia drivers using the Admin->hardware drivers tool ?
[08:06] <airtonix> rance94, ok below the toolbar you see three tabs, select the middle one (cd/dvd images)
[08:06] <rance94> wait i need to go get the cd dont i??
[08:06] <speedxxxcore> I need good rsync switches for an incremental backup?
[08:06] <airtonix> rance94, actually no this is wrong. close the virtual media manager
[08:06] <flexible> Dr_Willis, yes... the drivers work fine
[08:06] <rance94> airtonix ok
[08:06] <airtonix> rance94, settings of the virtual machine (right click it in the list)
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> flexible:  i always use the twinview feature. Ive never seen the need for 2 seperate X 'displays'
[08:06] <Diverdude> hmm i would like to assign the windows key to the "Show the panel's main menu" But in the keyboard shortcuts i have to assign windowskey+someOtherKey. How do I assign ONLY the windows key ?
[08:07] <maco> speedxxxcore: you may want rdiffbackup not rsync
[08:07] <rance94> k
[08:07] <maco> speedxxxcore: it keeps incremental snapshots
[08:07] <rance94> airtonix k
[08:07] <maco> speedxxxcore: ive never used it though
[08:07] <airtonix> rance94, cd/dvd-rom > tick mount cd/dvd dirve > select host drive
[08:07] <flexible> Dr_Willis: yes, but my two monitors are of different resolutions. which caused some glitches...
[08:07] <Diverdude> anyone?
[08:07] <airtonix> rance94, put the disc in your laptops cdrom drive
[08:07] <flexible> One is widescreen, the other is a normal ratio
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> flexible:  so are mine. but ive no real problems other then a small bit of a 'dead' zone at the bottom of the smaller one.  Been using them this way for years.
[08:08] <rance94> airtonix let me go find it
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> flexible:  i align the top or bottom side how i like normally.  Rarely have any big problems with them.
[08:08] <Senesence> !find virtualbox
[08:08] <Snowboarder> hmm i would like to assign the windows key to the "Show the panel's main menu" But in the keyboard shortcuts i have to assign windowskey+someOtherKey. How do I assign ONLY the windows key ?
[08:08] <Dr_Willis> flexible:  biggest issue i have is dumb programs that try to fullscreen across both because they dont detect the res's properly
[08:09] <airtonix> el_compA_, this is how my partitions are setup on my desktop : http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34136/screenshot_003_I4EkpE.png >> see how swap is first then system and lastly /home has the rest of the drive space ?
[08:09] <rance94> airtonix ok im back and i have to cd
[08:10] <airtonix> rance94, ok put in the drive and start the virtual machine. you should now be able to install ubuntu onto the virtual machine as you would normally
[08:11] <rance94> airtonix thx k so now install it like normal??
[08:11] <airtonix> rance94, yes.
[08:12] <rance94> k i hit something lol i dont know what i did lmao
[08:12] <Snowboarder> hmm i would like to assign the windows key to the "Show the panel's main menu" But in the keyboard shortcuts i have to assign windowskey+someOtherKey. How do I assign ONLY the windows key ?
[08:12] <Diverdude> what is the command to show the Applications-menu? I need to make a shortcut for it
[08:12] <Newbie-Widget> guys, im gonna try a netboot install found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows  but the Link in step 2 doesnt work.. anyone have an alternate ?
[08:12] <airtonix> Diverdude, using gnome?
[08:13] <Diverdude> airtonix, yeah
[08:13] <airtonix> Diverdude, and thus metacity window manager (which controls the application menus)
[08:13] <Newbie-Widget> not step 2 sry, paragraph 2
[08:13] <Diverdude> airtonix, yes
[08:13] <Newbie-Widget> under "Netboot approach"
[08:14] <airtonix> Diverdude, so you are under the impression there is a command line program to run that will make it show up on a programs window ?
[08:14] <Diverdude> airtonix, it?
[08:14] <kermit> can someone explain the background to this statement? (2009-12-13 07:58:51) tonyyarusso: All of the system scripts *should* be using dash these days.
[08:14] <airtonix> Diverdude, "it" being the application window menu
[08:14] <Diverdude> airtonix, hmm well yes...its the panels main menu i am talking about
[08:15] <airtonix> Diverdude, or are you refering to the gnome applet menu
[08:15] <Diverdude> airtonix, Like in this guide: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/use-the-windows-key-for-the-start-menu-in-ubuntu-linux/
[08:15] <Newbie-Widget> anyone
[08:15] <miansc> hey guys
[08:15] <miansc> how would I go about backing my ubuntu 9.10
[08:15] <miansc> I just want my installed programs , photos etc..
[08:15] <Diverdude> airtonix, only problem is that i have to press the windows key + some other key
[08:15] <airtonix> Diverdude, there isn't a command you can use in the terminal that will make it show as far as i know
[08:15] <miansc> then reinstall everything back on on ubuntu 9.04
[08:16] <Diverdude> airtonix, ok...but is there a way i can assign the windows key to it?
[08:16] <Madpilot> airtonix, pretty sure he wants a keystroke to drop the menu down
[08:17] <airtonix> Diverdude, gnome will refer to it as the super key
[08:17] <pyrophelia> when your creating a raid with mdadm, how do you sepcify the first partion on a series of disks?  is it /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}1 /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}(1) /dev/sd{a,b,c,d}{1}
[08:17] <Diverdude> airtonix, ok...so what do i have to do then?
[08:17] <airtonix> Diverdude, are you also running compiz ?
[08:17] <rohman_pati> whoy.................
[08:17] <Diverdude> airtonix, yep
[08:17] <airtonix> Diverdude, ok do you hae compizconfig-settings-manager installed ?
[08:17] <Diverdude> airtonix, yes indeed
[08:18] <airtonix> Diverdude, this is where you'll need to make the changes you want.
[08:18] <kermit> pyrophelia: in a config file?  those look like at attempt at shell expansion, bubt if you mean shell expansion, the first one
[08:18] <Diverdude> airtonix, aha ok...where in the compizconfig-settings-manager ?
[08:18] <airtonix> Diverdude, the standard keyboard shortcuts applet is ignored when running compiz unless you make some background changes
[08:19] <pyrophelia> kermit, well no i'll be be building each raid by hand but I have a lot :P
[08:19] <airtonix> Diverdude, i'm also assuming you are using karmic 9.10
[08:19] <Diverdude> airtonix, indeed i am
[08:19] <pyrophelia> sudo mdadm --create --verbose --force /dev/md0 --level=raid6 --chunk=128   --raid-devices=15  --spare-devices=0  /dev/sd{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o}1
[08:19] <pyrophelia> like that?
[08:19] <airtonix> Diverdude, compizconfig-settings-manager should be in your system menu -> preferences
[08:19] <kermit> pyrophelia: how about /dev/sd[a-o]1
[08:19] <Diverdude> airtonix, yep. i am there
[08:20] <airtonix> Diverdude, keyboard shortcuts are controled via the commands section within that app
[08:20] <kermit> pyrophelia: assuming you have all those devices in /dev/
[08:20] <pyrophelia> yea
[08:20] <pyrophelia> I didn't know I could use -
[08:20] <airtonix> Diverdude, woops wrong
[08:20] <Diverdude> airtonix, hmm the command sections?
[08:20] <airtonix> Diverdude, its under the general section in the bindings tab
[08:21] <Tecna> can somebody please help me configure lineakd for my HP2506?  Half of my Easy Access keys aren't working.
[08:21] <Diverdude> okay. generel->commands and then what?
[08:21] <airtonix> Diverdude, again, no its not. in the main list there do you see an entry called " gnome compability" ?
[08:21] <Diverdude> airtonix, yes i do
[08:22] <airtonix> Diverdude, it is in there
[08:22] <airtonix> Diverdude, i just tested it by setting it to shift alt g
[08:22] <Diverdude> airtonix, hmm but it is still not working
[08:22] <airtonix> Diverdude, make sure that the tick box on the far left of the window is ticked to enable the module
[08:22] <Zeikfried> Anyone know how to fix this?     OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
[08:23] <Diverdude> airtonix, i pressed to <super> button
[08:23] <airtonix> Diverdude, yeah super button alone wont work( didnt for me either)
[08:23] <Diverdude> or selected
[08:24] <Diverdude> airtonix, damn thats what i want :(
[08:24] <airtonix> Diverdude, this is because there is something else in gnome that interferes with this
[08:24] <Diverdude> airtonix, ok. so how can i do it?
[08:24] <pyrophelia> kermit: you can't use - when specifying devices for mdadm, they must be in , order
[08:25] <airtonix> Diverdude, one sec, i need to find the app for it
[08:25] <kermit> pyrophelia: im still not clear, are you asking about shell expansion or a config file particular to mdadm?
[08:25] <pyrophelia> neither, I was building the raid right from the shell
[08:25] <pyrophelia> unless that's what you mean by shell expansion
[08:25] <kermit> pyrophelia: 'shell' was the first choice, yes
[08:25] <airtonix> Diverdude, ok you mileage may vary but : system > preferences > windows
[08:25] <kermit> pyrophelia: [a-o] will expand in alphabetical order
[08:26] <pyrophelia> you might want to double check that
[08:26] <pyrophelia> mdadm didn't like it
[08:26] <airtonix> Diverdude, movement key : change that to something else
[08:26] <pyrophelia> I changed it to , order and it worked fine
[08:26] <kermit> pyrophelia: try 'echo ...' to see for yourself how these things expand
[08:27] <kermit> pyrophelia: just put echo in front of the whole line
[08:27] <Diverdude> airtonix, the movement key is set to Alt already
[08:27] <kermit> pyrophelia: rather than speculating about it
[08:27] <airtonix> Diverdude, ok this isn't it either (there are still some conflicting issues with compiz and gnome so its not going to be a real fix)
[08:28] <Diverdude> airtonix, ok...its okay ill just assign anoher key. Thank you very much for your hep

[08:34] <ziroday> Saundra was a bot sending malicious files and attempting a DCC flood attack, its gone now.
[08:34] <KIAaze> does anyone else here get spam-like file offers on IRC?
[08:34] <klearr> does anyone know how to fix the "Cannot Display Video in this Mode"? it's only happening with the root user, all other users are showing GUI fine
[08:34] <aoick> oh,I see :D
[08:34] <davep> oh lawd. partition magic set itself to resize a partition on reboot. it was running off a usb disk. it couldnt find itself.
[08:35] <Noose215> KIAaze, i do
[08:35] <davep> now im getting an annoying message every boot

[08:35] <KIAaze> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1353660
[08:35] <davep> why didnt i listen :\
[08:35] <KIAaze> having the same problem.
[08:35] <Noose215> why are we getting spam
[08:35] <ziroday> Daifan: a bot, its been k-lined. Don't worry about it
[08:36] <Daifan> I see
[08:36] <KIAaze> first Tex, now Saundra. I got new ones.
[08:36] <klearr> so... X.org problem... anyone can help?
[08:37] <Madpilot> klearr, be more specific that "X.org problem" and someone might be able to...
[08:37] <apanda> is it safe to try to mount the ntfs drive that is my host drive for the wubi install im currently running?
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> apanda:  im not sure thats doable. Ive heard of others having issues trying that. But i avoide Wubi like its the plague. :)
[08:38] <airtonix> apanda, only if you don;t acare about the wubi install
[08:38] <davep> partition resized. yay.
[08:39] <klearr> as soon as I log into my Ubuntu, I get "Cannot View in this Mode" or something similar -- when I log in as another user on the same computer, GNOME shows up fine... I only get the X.org problem with the root user (MY root user, not the "root" root)
[08:39] <davep> okay, now lets hope that the installer doesnt try to run from inside a chroot which has no dev files again
[08:39] <Diverdude> i have a lot of files called core and core.1687 and core.2345 etc. What are those files? I cannot seem to open them
[08:39] <davep> makes grub surprisingly hard to install
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> davep:  thers ways to make the chroot env. see the proper /dev/
[08:40] <apanda> wubi is good because it made installing linux easy ;) but now i need to somehow get some ntfs data into linux and resize the ntfs and repartition it :p
[08:40] <davep> yeah
[08:40] <davep> but an automated installer
[08:40] <davep> should do that
[08:40] <davep> i had to do that MANUALLY.
[08:40] <FloodBot2> davep: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:40] <Ellie_Momotaro> hello everyone!
[08:40] <Dr_Willis> davep:  you are doiing weird stuff to begin with.. so it can be expectd.
[08:40] <davep> i did nothing weird
[08:40] <davep> it was a standard ubuntu install
[08:40] <davep> (in that case)
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> davep:  you are using a chroot toinstall you just said.. that is weird.
[08:41] <davep> i did nothing
[08:41] <Madpilot> ubottu, enter |  davep
[08:41] <movela> is eeebuntu any differ from ubuntu netbook remix? btw i have a eeepc 1000ha.. thanks!
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> davep:  so given the lack of actual info youve given us.. we have no idea what you are really doing.  We dont need a "play by play" either :)
[08:41] <davep> i ran the installer as normal. then when i got to grub, it said it failed.
[08:41] <apanda> so the worst case that happens if i try to mount the wubi hosting ntfs drive is that i damage the wubi install? it's only meant to be a temporary solution so that would be ok
[08:42] <davep> i checked what it was doing... it chrooted to the new install, and tried to run grub. with no dev files.
[08:42] <Dr_Willis> davep:  the fixgrub wiki page details the needed commands to  properly reinstall grub. - one of those commands detail how to set up the /dev/ properly
[08:42] <davep> i've already fixed it :P
[08:43] <davep> i dont see why an average user should have to know what chroot is to install ubuntu.
[08:44] <Dr_Willis> davep:  an average setup - grub dosent fail to install.
[08:44] <davep> im glad that you ahve tested the installer on every possible hardware configuration and have reached that conclusion. :D
[08:44] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - The above was an exploit attempt that may have disconnected some users.   Good luck
[08:45] <Sacho> someone doesn't like ubuntu
[08:45] <davep> amazing. when the magic perfect ubuntu installer fails, i must be "just rambling"
[08:45] <cn28h> /ignore *!*@* DCC
[08:45] <cn28h> ;p
[08:46] <kermit> for pidgin, minimizing the chat windows then clicking one DCC SEND window, and holding down alt-c, is a quick way to get rid of those
[08:46] <Sacho> did :)
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> davep:  Your comments are rambling.   I never mentioned anything else.
[08:46] <Sahkolihaa> XChat handles the ignoring very well. :)
[08:46] <Madpilot> Sacho, this channel is a big target
[08:46] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[08:46] <apanda> yeah only that i had to click cancel 50 times..
[08:46] <Seveas> kermit, pidgin sucks at irc anyway :)
[08:46] <Sacho> "I don't see why an average user should know...." <-- rambling
[08:46] <Dr_Willis> apanda:  :) gotta love dcc.
[08:46] <kermit> Seveas: it's the best i've found :P
[08:46] <Zeikfried> Nvm, found the fix for the software rasterizer.
[08:46] <apanda> and i was lucky to disable the default auto accept a few minutes ago ;)
[08:46] <Seveas> kermit, try xchat or irssi :)
[08:46] <Diverdude> Can somebody please ban this guy that keeps sending that file MOTHER SPANKS CHILD RATHER HARD.MPEG ?
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> Sacho:  its not 'support related' so yes. It is rambling. take it to #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue.
[08:47] <davep> why does ubuntu boldly assume the system clock is set to UTC?
[08:47] <davep> it doesnt ask me if it is. it just says, okay, you're in sydney, IT MUST be 6am now!
[08:47] <gaurav1>  Hi. I have ubuntu 9.04 on my machine. I am unable to boot ubuntu. I get an error saying Busybox initramfs. Any help?
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> davep:  now thats a support related question. :)
[08:47] <HardDisk> because the world doesn't start with US times.
[08:47] <kermit> Seveas: i have, neither support smooth scrolling, and i dont think you can have 6 windows tiled with 10 tabs of channels in each window, either
[08:47] <Seveas> davep, because UTC is the one true timezone (and the installer does ask, last time I checked)
[08:47] <Sacho> Dr_Willis: I was agreeing :)
[08:47] <davep> okay, im going to blame whoever assembled the kubuntu netbook installer then
[08:47] <Flannel> davep: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuTime#Multiple%20Boot%20Systems%20Time%20Conflicts
[08:48] <Seveas> davep, then file a bug. This channel is for support not for rambling and whining
[08:48] <Newbie-Widget> back
[08:48] <Madpilot> Seveas! Where'd you surface from?
[08:48] <FloodBot1> NOTICE - If you couldn't speak to the channel during the past minutes, please try again now.
[08:49] <HardDisk> Diverdude, learn to use /mode so you can block all that
[08:49] <Seveas> Madpilot, 7th circle of hell
[08:49] <HardDisk> banning doesn't stop people flooding you.
[08:49] <Madpilot> Seveas, you always were. Good to see you around.
[08:50] <gaurav1>  Hi. I have ubuntu 9.04 on my machine. I am unable to boot ubuntu. I get an error saying Busybox initramfs. Any help?
[08:50] <Newbie-Widget> guys.. for https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows .. section "The Netboot Approach" .. link for "linux and initrd.gz" diesnt work
[08:50] <Newbie-Widget> any alternate?
[08:50] <Seveas> gaurav1, that error usually means it cannot find your rootpartition. Did you do any partition shuffling recently?
[08:50] <HardDisk> http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#spambots
[08:50] <gaurav1> Nope.
[08:50] <gaurav1> Nothing.
[08:51] <apanda> uh lol you could just have told me that the host drive for wubi is already mounted in /host :)
[08:51] <Seveas> gaurav1, the real error is not 'busybox initramfs' but a few lines above that. Can you maybe take a picture of the screen and upload it somewhere?
[08:51] <speedxxxcore> nu ska jag installera vmware-server på min linode..
[08:51] <DigitalFiz> that was fun
[08:51] <speedxxxcore> undra om det funkar.. och om det är ok
[08:51] <Dr_Willis> apanda:  the amazing thing about wubi.. is that no one seems to actually to use it very much. :)
[08:52] <davep> how can i get to a text based installer?
[08:52] <speedxxxcore> sry wrong channel
[08:52] <HardDisk> davep, ubuntu alternative download
[08:52] <Seveas> !se | speedxxxcore
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> davep:  thats what is on the 'alternative-cd'    its a text based installer.
[08:52] <davep> this gui based installer is beyond terrible. the performance is awful, it doesnt even cache the contents of dropdowns :D
[08:52] <davep> >.<
[08:52] <HardDisk> that is your opinion.
[08:52] <Dr_Willis> Demand a refund!
[08:52] <neilson> I have an old laptop Dell Inspiron 1150 Celeron 2.5ghz would I be advised to install the netbook remix on it or will i gain no advantage on older hardware?
[08:53] <Newbie-Widget> ok nvm, found
[08:53] <Dr_Willis> There is no text based alternative-cd for the 'netbook remix' that ive ever seen.
[08:53] <HardDisk> of course not.
[08:53] <gaurav1> Seveas: a'right. i'll do that after a reboot. i'm on the livecd. when i try to mount my root patition i get this error. " mount: wrong fs type, bad option,  superblock on /dev/sd6
[08:53] <HardDisk> netbook remix works fine as it is.
[08:53] <davep> an opinion it may be
[08:53] <ziroday> neilson: you would gain very little speed advantage using the netbook remix. Perhaps xubuntu
[08:53] <Newbie-Widget> quick question though for that netboot.. it says "Create a directory called boot in the root directory of the first primary partition of your hard drive (usually drive c:\, which it will be referred to as from now on)." .. im guessing this is saying create a folder on my windows c: drive ?
[08:53] <davep> but is it reasonable to take 5 minutes to set a timezone?
[08:53] <Seveas> gaurav1, sd6 is not a device node. You may mean sda6 or sdb6
[08:54] <davep> i hope it wasnt trying to get internet time. i havent set up wifi. it should know that.... right?
[08:54] <HardDisk> davep, 5 minutes for a timezone? the installation procedure is more than setting up a timezone.
[08:54] <gaurav1> Seveas: yea, i mean sda6
[08:54] <davep> yes. by extrapolation, 5 minutes to set a timezone
[08:54] <davep> would mean
[08:54] <davep> a week
[08:54] <Dr_Willis> Newbie-Widget:  you could have C: be somewhere else.. but proberly C: is a good guess. yes.
[08:54] <davep> for the whole process :D
[08:54] <Noose215> ^--ramble
[08:54] <Newbie-Widget> Dr_Willis: ty :)
[08:54] <apanda> Dr_Willis ok, i'm one of the elite few then :p (jk)
[08:54] <goose> I'm having trouble running a .bin file, I think it's because I'
[08:54] <Seveas> davep, again, if you see something is wrong, you should file a bug. Whining in IRC channels is not helping you, us or Ubuntu in any way
[08:55] <neilson> ziroday: thank you
[08:55] <HardDisk> goose, chmod +x the bin file.
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> Newbie-Widget:  i found it easier to just setup a bootale flash drive then mess with netboot/installing
[08:55] <davep> it helps me a lot, actually :]
[08:55] <ziroday> neilson: no problem, have fun!
[08:55] <goose> I'm having trouble running a .bin file, I think it's because I'm on an x64 OS. do I need an additional package to install .bin files on x64?
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> goose:  what exactly IS this .bin file?
[08:55] <Seveas> goose, what kind of .bin file?
[08:55] <goose> half life dedicated server
[08:55] <Newbie-Widget> Dr_Willis: true, but my laptop doesnt support booting from USB :(
[08:55] <Seveas> goose, that probably only runs on 32bit
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> Newbie-Widget:  ewww..
[08:55] <HardDisk> goose, chmod +x nameoffile.bin
[08:55] <Newbie-Widget> unless theres a boot disc i can download that allows me to boot form usb ?
[08:55] <ojo> hey, how do I open emacs in command line, because each time I type emacs in the terminal it opens a X window
[08:55] <goose> HardDisk: did that, doesn't work.
[08:56] <HardDisk> hmm
[08:56] <gaurav1> Seveas: and the other thing is that, my ubuntu used to work real slow. I thought it was because of some hardware issue. but the livecd is working pretty fast.
[08:56] <fhenning09> xemacs?
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> Newbie-Widget:  ive only seen such things in a few specific cases. and if you had a bootabel cd.. you could just install from that anyway.
[08:56] <HardDisk> Newbie-Widget, usb creator or unetbootin
[08:56] <goose> Seveas: probably. A year or so ago when I was on a different VPS I had this same error and someone told me a package to install to fix it, and it worked. Any idea what it might be, or what to search synaptic for?
[08:56] <Seveas> gaurav1, use 'top' to find out if a process is hogging your CPU
[08:56] <ojo> fhenning09 doesn't work
[08:57] <Newbie-Widget> Dr_Willis" old laptop, failing cd drive, wont read data.. can boot a cd, but copying is a no go :(
[08:57] <gaurav1> Seveas: top ? what is top ?
[08:57] <Seveas> goose, ia32-libs maybe
[08:57] <fhenning09> not sure whats going on there
[08:57] <Newbie-Widget> HardDisk: those programs, can i make a disc that will then allow me to boot from USB drive ?
[08:57] <Seveas> gaurav1, it's a commandline application to see processes and their usage of cpu, memory etc.
[08:57] <goose> I'll try it. thank you very much Seveas
[08:57] <fhenning09> try this : apt-get install xemacs
[08:57] <davep> im trying to figure out what the setup is trying to do. top says that only xorg is wasting cpu. there is no disk activity.
[08:57] <ojo> fhenning09, Gonna try that
[08:57] <fhenning09> try this :sudo apt-get install xemacs
[08:57] <Dr_Willis> Newbie-Widget:  bummer.  I recall seeing somewhere a 'net-boot live cd' project. You booted the live-cd on one boxx and it would let you net-boot and install to other machines on the lan. but im not sure how active/useable it even was.
[08:58] <Flannel> Newbie-Widget, Dr_Willis: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation has a number of different ways to install, hopefully you can find something that works
[08:58] <gaurav1> Seveas: i did try using system monitor to have a look at it. but all of it seemed fine. my system would lag mostly when i used firefox. and to be specific..facebook. but i'm using the same thing on livecd, and works just fine.
[08:58] <Newbie-Widget> Dr_Willis: damn :S ,, if u remember, can let me know :)
[08:59] <davep> check if there's a BIOS update
[08:59] <davep> if you're lucky, they added usb boot support
[08:59] <Dr_Willis> Newbie-Widget:  i must of saw it on some of the UBuntu tutorial sites. but im not evne sure of what the name was.
[08:59] <Seveas> gaurav1, do you have greasemonkey scripts for facebook? That used to kill my system :)
[08:59] <boomernang> gaurav1, what kind of lag?
[08:59] <Newbie-Widget> Flannel: seen that, im a bit of a newb so hard to understand all that.. atm im trying https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows
[08:59] <davep> why does it take 5 minutes to scan partitions when fdisk does it in one second? :D
[08:59] <Seveas> gaurav1, try to disable all firefox extensions
[08:59] <gaurav1> Seveas: yes, i did have greasemonkey, but i did uninstall it.
[08:59] <Newbie-Widget> davep: might do that :)
[09:00] <gaurav1> boomerand: everything would work very-very slow. even scroll up and down would be real slow
[09:00] <Dr_Willis> Newbie-Widget:  it might be bookmarked at my  http://delicious.com/tags/dr_willis     page
[09:00] <boomernang> gaurav1, what video card have you got? and what drivers?
[09:01] <gaurav1> boomernang: nvidia 8800, 320 mb. drivers, probably 180.xx
[09:01] <apanda> how can i ensure x uses 1:1 mouse speed? i.e. it doesnt interpolate anything
[09:02] <davep> hmm. does no swap space cause problems on a regular basis?
[09:02] <Dr_Willis> davep:  its proberly a good idea to make at least a small (512mb) or so swap partition.
[09:02] <goose> Seveas: you rock, that was the package I needed. thank you :)
[09:02] <Madpilot> davep, hasn't here yet, although this is a desktop w/ 2GB of real RAM
[09:03] <davep> that would be 1/12th of the available space
[09:03] <davep> netbook with 2gb :P
[09:03] <Newbie-Widget> thanx Doc, checking it out now, also downloading UNetbootin
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> davep:  5% of any ext3/4/2  is also reserved for recovery ussage. thats tuneable with the tune2fs command.
[09:04] <davep> its tempting to turn that down to 1% tbh
[09:05] <boomernang> gaurav1, what does glxinfo | grep "direct" say?
[09:05] <davep> hmm. the partioner defaults to ext4. while not a bug, the extra writes can cause poor performance on slower SSDs, and less usable life.
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> davep:  i set it to 0% on some of my drives.. but it can be bad if the fs ever gets currupted and the disk is 100% full.
[09:05] <Dr_Willis> davep:  thers also a few forum threads on optmizations specifically for sdd based netbooks.
[09:06] <davep> does it record a "last accessed" time on files? i mean, i have that turned off in windows so meh
[09:06] <gaurav1> boomernang: I'm on my livecd right now. My OS isn't booting. It gives me an error saying Busybox initramfs. On the livecd is says: direct rendering: Yes
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> Newbie-Widget:  check out --> http://www.howtoforge.com/boot-linux-over-http-with-netboot.me
[09:07] <Dr_Willis> Newbie-Widget:  i never did get that working however.
[09:07] <mistergibson> is there a channel to ask hal / hald questiosn?
[09:07] <yeoman> hi folks..any idea hw to download and save a adobe flash player video file in 9.10?
[09:07] <Newbie-Widget> Dr_Willis: thnx, ill check it out :)
[09:08] <davep> i find it ironic that a thread saying to turn on noatime is using ext4 :\
[09:08] <Dr_Willis> yeoman:  thers dozens of firefox extensions to let you do that.
[09:09] <echotone> I have been trying and trying for almost a week now to install ubuntu and i just cant do it. I have tried everything that i can think of and managed to get it installed but i cant boot into it. does anybody know why it would stop after showing me the ubuntu logo and stay stuck at a black screen???? please?
[09:09] <Dr_Willis> echotone: so the live cd installed, then fails to boot to the desktop on first boot into the 'real' system?
[09:10] <echotone> Dr_Willis: I cant use a live cd. i had to make an alternate cd.
[09:10] <boomernang> gaurav1, ok so the reason why it is fast on cd is because rendering is enabled. Did you try appending 'acpi=noacpi irqpoll' to the kernel line? as stated here - https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-October/162172.html
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  so It installed.. then never booted into the real os then? no errores at all during the install?
[09:10] <echotone> the live cd gives me the same problem. it gives me the logo then black screen.
[09:10] <echotone> nope no errors
[09:10] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  what video card?
[09:10] <echotone> nvidia 9500gt
[09:11] <echotone> i had it installed and working fine. until i decided to try win7
[09:11] <echotone> then when i went to switch back with a clean install it wont work
[09:11] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  thats odd.. normally nvidia works very well.     You installed it the exact same way when it 'was' working?
[09:11] <echotone> i havent touched anything.
[09:11] <echotone> i am in puppy linux right now.
[09:11] <gaurav1> boomernang: no. how do i do that? and when i was on the OS i did use compiz, etc. i believe the rendering was enabled that time as well.
[09:12] <yeoman> thanks willis...can we do that even when that net video is only a readable and not downloadable?
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  so claify. you had it installed and working.. then installed win7?  then what.
[09:12] <echotone> so i hope it isnt a problem with my computer because every other os works fine. only linux
[09:12] <Dr_Willis> yeoman:  depends on the site and how they do things..  I rarely bother with grabbing flash video. I have grabbed many from a lot of sites however.
[09:13] <echotone> Dr_Willis: I installed win7. I didnt like it. I put the linux disk in and it gave me said problem.
[09:13] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  so you no longer want windows7?    You mean to say.. the live cd's worked BEFOR you installed windows 7, and now the live cd's fail to work with window7 on the machine?
[09:14] <echotone> yes.
[09:14] <yeoman>  mine is the site Websurg and has surgery videos
[09:14] <echotone> i just built this machine and the first thing i did was install 9.10
[09:14] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  well you could use the puppy disrto to totally erase the hd. and see if the live cd works after that.. But somthing VERY weird is going on here.
[09:14] <echotone> it was great and i just wanted to try win 7.
[09:14] <echotone> bad idea
[09:14] <davep> the live cd shouldnt touch the HDD
[09:15] <davep> hence it should work with no win7 and with win7 equally well
[09:15] <Dr_Willis> I cant imagine what windows7 would do to a system. Unless it caused some hardware to fail.
[09:15] <echotone> i have formatted the drive so0o many times. i dont think that will do it.
[09:15] <davep> does it just go black, or does it trigger a reboot?
[09:16] <MidnightBomber> I have ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 with all updates. It does not allow me to install any new software packages. it says "This error could be caused by required additional software packages which are missing or not installable. Futhermore there could be a conflict between software packages which are not allowed to be installed at the same time." WTF
[09:16] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  there is the grub revovery options also that disable that logo and stuff. did it show any error messages?
[09:16] <echotone> I never got an error. it goes straight from the logo to black
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  but ages ago the live cd DID work  (the same cd?)
[09:17] <echotone> yes. i have a cd from canonicle. i ordered it
[09:17] <echotone> and the live cd worked fine
[09:18] <Dr_Willis> weirdness. Try making a bootable flash drive?
[09:18] <echotone> i am using an xpc. and it wont boot from usb.
[09:18] <echotone> the alternate cd installs the system. but it gives me the same problem
[09:19] <Dr_Willis> sounds like its narrowed down to some video driver issue.  the revovery mode however does not even get you to the console however.. thats even weirder.
[09:19] <davep> booooom. installer failed
[09:20] <echotone> i tried the alternate cd recovery mode and have been tinkering with it for about a week now. no luck
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> sounds more and more like some odd hardware issue.
[09:20] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  youve tried the memtest option to verify the ram?
[09:20] <echotone> yes i have.
[09:20] <gaurav2> boomernang: any luck?
[09:21] <echotone> i am trying to figure out how it worked and now it doesnt.
[09:21] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  You dont hae anything odd hooked up. like  a tv to the tv out? or extra monitors?
[09:21] <pr0ton> hi!
[09:21] <Tecna> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653124 instructions on http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=653124 say to edit /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh but I don't see it on my system.  has it been moved in newer versions?
[09:22] <echotone> i had just bought everything from the store. so i went back to the store and returned my hard drive for a new one and tried it again.
[09:22] <echotone> i have 2 dvi monitors
[09:22] <Tecna> or should I create it new?
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  well see what video driver PuppyLinux  is using. perhaps copy its xorg.conf to /etc/X11/xorg.conf on the system.  There is also the grub config files you may want to tweak them to use the  'nosplash nofb noquiet verbose' options to get maximum error messages printing out. you may at least get a console that way
[09:23] <echotone> okay. thank you. i will try that.
[09:23] <echotone> Dr_Willis: Should i only have 1 monitor plugged in?
[09:23] <echotone> idk why that would inhibit me from anything...
[09:24] <davep> wait
[09:24] <davep> the error text is
[09:24] <Flannel> MidnightBomber: Can you please pastebin the output of 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'?
[09:24] <davep> "progress bar cancelled"
[09:24] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  that would elinimate one potential problem,. i had issues once with a tv  plugged in.. the default X was showing up on the TV. whichi dident even have turned on. :) confused things.
[09:24] <echotone> i'll give it a try.
[09:25] <apanda> where can i set my mouse sensitivity numerically? i only have a vague slider..
[09:25] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  thers just the 1 video card? not an onboard and a pci/pcie card in addation is there?
[09:25] <davep> google tells me its an old bug
[09:25] <davep> which was "fixed"
[09:25] <echotone> no built in graphics. i have 1 pcie card. its nvidia 9500gt
[09:26] <echotone> i am running a shuttle xpc sb95p v2
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> Ahh a good old shuttle.. I had one of those.. till it blew up.
[09:26] <echotone> yeah. i got it for free from my uncle because it started smoking...
[09:26] <davep> why does a GUI element cause an installation to fail?
[09:26] <davep> seriously now.
[09:26] <Dr_Willis> Yep. such neat products from such an Annoying company
[09:27] <davep> i suppose i could chroot to target and finish the install manually. again. -.-
[09:28] <Dr_Willis> davep:  you re back to rambling  - and no one really knows what you are actually doing.
[09:28] <davep> im attempting to install kubuntu netbook (inb4 #kubuntu), and it failed citing an error message
[09:29] <davep> "progress bar cancelled"
[09:29] <davep> which honestly sounds like more of a "status update" than "critical error which prevents the install from continuing", but meh
[09:29] <Beenbassion> Trying to install ubuntu for the first time on an XP computer, can't find any blank disks, and wubi doesn't work for it. I've already installed it on my own laptop but that had vista and I can't figure this out. Any help?
[09:29] <echotone> Thanks for your help everyone. i am going to try what i have been given. take care.
[09:30] <Dr_Willis> Beenbassion:  you could make a bootable usb/flash drive and install from that if you wanted. Or are you trying to get 'wubi' to work as your goal?
[09:30] <davep> it looks like it was trying to update the status of the progress bar...on a window which has closed
[09:31] <Beenbassion> I'd like to get wubi to work as its what I'm most familiar with
[09:31] <Emanon> morning all
[09:31] <Dr_Willis> Beenbassion:  thats scary. Im not even sure if wubi supports XP or not. Or why it  'dosent work'  i avoid wubi like its the plague :)
[09:31] <Dr_Willis> !wubi
[09:31] <Emanon> anyone know if there is an option in Karmic to integrate thunderbird like evolution is? like make it use the im/mail icon be the default for calandars and stuff
[09:32] <apanda> wubi works for win2k, so it certainly should work for xp
[09:32] <Beenbassion> :P Well I'm still a fairly new user and it was the easiest way for me to install it on my vista system
[09:32] <deokanon> hello, sorry to intrude... i have some kernels showing up in grub menu list and i want to delete them (they don't work)...how do i proceed? i also wanted to keep an older version of the kernels i want to get rid of. any advice?
[09:32] <rahilm> wubi works in Xp, it did when i installed 8.10
[09:32] <Beenbassion> wubi 9.10 doesn't work though
[09:32] <davep> deokanon: you can comment out their entries in the menu.lst
[09:32] <Emanon> might consider apt-get autoremove? that might remove obsoleted kernels
[09:32] <Dr_Willis> deokanon:  use the package manager to remove the older kenels. or the  system-> admin -> computer janitor tool.
[09:32] <Emanon> or that
[09:33] <Emanon> Dr_Willis' is better
[09:33] <deokanon> cool thanks guys
[09:33] <joaopinto> there are reported bugs with Wubi/Ubuntu 9.10 breaking after kernel upgrades
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> deokanon:  they dont take  up much space -   id be sure to at least leave  the one you are using (duh) and one older kernel.
[09:33] <Emanon> yea always nice to have a backup if something bricks the latest
[09:33] <Dr_Willis> Thers so many reported bugs with Wubi - its scary
[09:34] <deokanon> actually i want to keep the older ones and get rid of the new ones...the new ones are buggy like crazy
[09:34] <Emanon> well if it involves windows...
[09:34] <Emanon> so IS there some package (or a few) that more tightly integrates thunderbird with gnome in Karmic?
[09:35] <rahilm> but wubii is safer than a real install but it is useful only for trying out
[09:35] <deokanon> well that's not exactly true... i want to keep one that is old...which i am currently using right now... and get rid of the other recent kernels
[09:35] <echotone> where is this particular chat logged? i am looking for instructiones i recieved a minute ago but i closed this window and lost it.
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> safest would be to test it out in 'virtualbox' or 'vmware' :)
[09:35] <Beenbassion> I know wubi is bugged but I have no blank cds and the usb install seems to complicated
[09:35] <Emanon> or some way to make Google Wave work in Evolution
[09:35] <apanda> where are the config files where i can edit the mouse speed? there is no xorg.conf
[09:35] <ultra_> could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player?
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> Beenbassion:  making a usb insaller complex? Instll/run unetbootin. Point it to the iso file and the cd.. hit 'go for it!'  and get a soda...
[09:36] <Optimus55> hey just wonderin quickly, any know if there's people having issues with wifi disconnects in karmic? i thought it was just my router cus it's shitty but a friend told me there's issues
[09:36] <Beenbassion> I had an issue with the other night, a reboot solved it
[09:36] <Emanon> i know UNR 9.10 had a little trouble with my dad's wifi card but 9.04 didnt support it at all so a lil spotty was ok
[09:37] <leon> hi all
[09:37] <Optimus55> Emanon: is it specifically with intermittent disconnects?
[09:37] <Beenbassion> and dr_willis thanks, I'll give that a shot
[09:37] <Emanon> nah just was a bother to get it working the first time
[09:37] <Optimus55> Ah okay, but one it worked it was fine
[09:37] <rahilm> what happens if i dd the entire Live-CD on the usb stick
[09:37] <Emanon> since his motherboard likes to misrepresent the wifi cards connection status
[09:37] <Dr_Willis> rahilm:  i doubt if it will be bootable.
[09:38] <Emanon> say its on when its been switched off (i hate those wifi switches on new laptops)
[09:38] <Optimus55> cool thanks
[09:38] <iceroot> rahilm: should be working
[09:38] <Dr_Willis> rahilm:  thats why they had a netbook .img file for the last release. it MIGHT work..  try it and see I guess.
[09:38] <el_compA_____> How do I do a clean install of ubuntu when I hve a dualboot?
[09:38] <ultra_> could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player?
[09:38] <cityLights> how may I upgrade the version of avahi on my system?
[09:38] <rahilm> Dr_Willis, but its like ISO9660 as the first partition
[09:38] <Emanon> is it a specific station ultra or all of em
[09:39] <Dr_Willis> rahilm:  try it and see. I wouldbe suprised if it worked.  I got grub2 set up to boot a .iso file  on my flash drive. :) so i  just copy the iso to my flash drive now.
[09:39] <iceroot> el_compA_____: insert install cd, and install ubuntu on the place of the old ubuntu
[09:39] <Emanon> cause i know i have similar problems with certain channels (di.fm chillout dreams)
[09:39] <cityLights> I am trying to use pidgin with the bonjour protocol, my ubuntu pc doesnt get messeges from other clients
[09:39] <el_compA_____> Do I need to format the ubuntu partition first?
[09:39] <Dr_Willis> el_compA_____:  the installer can reformat the partitions
[09:39] <alkisg> In an Ubuntu-only local network, to be able to centrally manage user accounts, can I use samba as a domain controller and have clients authenticate against it, instead of using LDAP?
[09:39] <cityLights> I upgraded pidgin to 2.6.3 and still see the issue, so I seek to upgrade avahi . how?
[09:40] <iceroot> alkisg: better, use samba + ldap
[09:40] <silv3r_m00n> can ubuntu mark bad sectors on hard drive so that they are not used again ?
[09:40] <Beenbassion> I'm using GRUB 1.97, any real advantage of upgrading to 2?
[09:40] <rahilm> i'll try it tonight..(its day here now)
[09:40] <Emanon> that would be pretty cool silv3r
[09:40] <iceroot> alkisg: pcs are connecting to samba which is getting user-informations from ldap
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> Beenbassion:  depends on your needs.. but proberly not at this time.
[09:40] <iceroot> alkisg: but you can do it without ldap too of course
[09:40] <el_compA> Ok but I tried doing it first in a virtual machine and ir wouldn't boot.... Just got a black screen like terminal
[09:40] <rahilm> Beenbassion, many advantages but a few disadv too
[09:41] <alkisg> iceroot: if I can do it without LDAP it'll be simpler for me. Do I need winbind on the clients?
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> Beenbassion:  i use the grub2 feauter that lets me boot iso files to make a 'rescue/recovery' option that boots up a live cd for me. but thats just a neat trick.
[09:41] <ultra_> could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player?
[09:41] <iceroot> alkisg: only linux-clients?
[09:41] <Emanon> is it ALL streams or just certain ones ultra?
[09:41] <alkisg> iceroot: yes
[09:41] <silv3r_m00n> Emanon: like ?
[09:41] <iceroot> alkisg: dont need winbind
[09:41] <Emanon> i was just saying that would be a cool utility silver
[09:42] <rahilm> hey..anyone can provide any links where they successfully mounted an iso in grub2
[09:42] <Emanon> one that marked bad sectors and refused to use em again to preserve system integrity
[09:42] <iceroot> !grub | rahilm
[09:42] <iceroot> !grub2 | rahilm
[09:42] <silv3r_m00n> Emanon: windows does that I guess
[09:42] <silv3r_m00n> doesn't ubuntu do that ?
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> rahilm:  dozens of them out .  Check http://delicious.com/dr_willis/
[09:42] <MidnightBomber> Flannel: will do, 1 sec
[09:42] <Emanon> idk it might
[09:42] <Emanon> i am far from knowledgable on the subject
[09:42] <rahilm> ya.. i meant grub2 only ..sorry
[09:43] <alkisg> iceroot: Thanks! I may not be expressing this correctly: I want the users to be able to logon to the clients, using accounts that I've created on the server for them. Can samba handle that?
[09:43] <el_compA> iceroot:  any ideas why it didn't work when I tried it in a vm???
[09:43] <ssv1994> hello guys, I have a question. Is it legal to activate in system/administration/hardware drivers, a driver for my ati video card?
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> rahilm:  let me pastebin my grub config for it. :)
[09:43] <Emanon> im here to either get thunderbird to be nicer in gnome or make evolution support google wave
[09:43] <iceroot> alkisg: of course
[09:43] <iceroot> alkisg: for that, there is samba
[09:43] <Sacho> on jaunty: rarely my keyboard completely locks out(can't type anything) and I can't open menus on the windows. I think it's an issue of a control key getting stuck, but I don't know how to unstuck it
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> rahilm:  see --> pastebinit /etc/grub.d/40_custom_boots_iso_files
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> http://pastebin.com/f237e002f
[09:43] <iceroot> el_compA: no
[09:43] <Emanon> probably ssv theres only a few countries where its even disputed i think
[09:44] <alkisg> iceroot: so I just make samba a domain controller on the server, and install libpam-samba on the clients?
[09:44] <iceroot> alkisg: its very easy but its getting nicer if using ldap as samba backend
[09:44] <rahilm> Dr_Willis: Thnx i'll check it out.
[09:44] <Emanon> u in US ssv1994?
[09:44] <ssv1994> Emanon: so, what about EU?
[09:44] <Emanon> EU i imagine so let me see if i can find out
[09:44] <iceroot> alkisg: yes
[09:45] <iceroot> alkisg: but maybe have a look at ldap and libnss
[09:45] <ssv1994> ok, find out
[09:45] <alkisg> iceroot: thanks, I'll try. LDAP looked to difficult for me to configure, so I'd like to avoid it if possible.
[09:45] <rahilm> Dr_Willis->do i have to add anything to make it persisten or is it already?
[09:46] <iceroot> alkisg: its not that hard but starting with samba only is a good idea. after that you can look at ldap and kerberos, which is a killer-feature
[09:46] <alkisg> iceroot: to make the clients join the samba domain, do I need to do that? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
[09:47] <iceroot> alkisg: you are not using AD i guess
[09:47] <alkisg> Nope
[09:47] <Emanon> not sure if this explains a whole lot https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/sounder/2009-January/011432.html but its better than the somewhat legalese here http://www.statutelaw.gov.uk/content.aspx?parentActiveTextDocId=2250249&ActiveTextDocId=2250425
[09:47] <iceroot> alkisg: have a look at a simple samba example on the net, hen learn how to use samba on server and client side
[09:47] <iceroot> !samba | alkisg
[09:47] <echotone> i cant find my xconf file(s). i checked in /etc/X11 and pretty much every file that has an "x" in it. How is that possible from a fresh install? I am mounting my hdd from puppy linux right now. Where should i look?
[09:47] <kermit> this channel is run so much better than ##linux
[09:48] <alkisg> iceroot: my problem is user accounts, I've no problems with making and using shares..
[09:48] <Flannel> MidnightBomber: Alright, what package (just any example) are you trying to install?
[09:48] <cityLights> iceroot: how can I upgrade the version of avahi in my ubuntu?
[09:48] <alkisg> iceroot: I.e. I want to `adduser user1` on the server, and enable this user to logon from e.g. pc1
[09:48] <Emanon> well its easier to manage a help channel when what your helping with is fairly narrowly defined i imagine kermit
[09:48] <MidnightBomber> flannel: wine
[09:48] <iceroot> alkisg: yes, that is on line in samba
[09:48] <Flannel> MidnightBomber: alright, please pastebin the output of `sudo apt-get install wine`
[09:49] <MidnightBomber> roger
[09:49] <iceroot> alkisg: its very easy and a common way
[09:49] <Serialtueur> hello, i have a problem with the install of ubuntu
[09:49] <iceroot> !details | Serialtueur
[09:50] <Serialtueur> my screen is not too large
[09:50] <rahilm> my ubuntu is slowing down considerably, is there a shell command that displays the top memory users
[09:50] <Serialtueur> yes it's arrive ^^
[09:50] <iceroot> rahilm: top
[09:50] <relentless> lol Weegee
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> rahilm:  top or htop :)
[09:50] <Guest81694> :)
[09:50] <hiouh> Hey I did a backup of all my installed programs, so I have like 100+ .deb files.. How do  I install them all at once rather then clicking one by one??
[09:50] <Serialtueur> the desktop of linux is too large for my screen
[09:51] <MidnightBomber> Flennel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/340432/
[09:51] <Serialtueur> so i can't push buttons
[09:51] <Flannel> hiouh: use dpkg, and globbing (dpkg -i *)
[09:51] <MidnightBomber> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/340432/
[09:51] <echotone> Dr_Willis: Where were those x files that you pointed me to? I rebooted with 1 monitor only and that wasnt the fix. I looke for the files you specified but i could not find them.
[09:51] <hiouh> how do i use that command?
[09:51] <relentless> Serialtueur, linux is the kernel
[09:51] <Flannel> hiouh: Just be careful, those deb files might be the same programs with multiple versions
[09:51] <hiouh> ohh, right.
[09:51] <Serialtueur> (if somebody can speak french, it's more easy for me ^^)
[09:51] <relentless> Serialtueur, YOu mean your X Resolution is to big
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> !fr | Serialtueur
[09:51] <Serialtueur> yes
[09:51] <iceroot> hiouh: open up a terminal and type "dpk -i /path-to/the/files/*"
[09:52] <Serialtueur> ok thanks
[09:52] <bill-barriere> so i have found this marvelous irc command to test the theory of natural selection it goes like this:
[09:52] <bill-barriere> /exec sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda
[09:52] <iceroot> hiouh: open up a terminal and type "dpkg -i /path-to/the/files/*"
[09:52] <Guest81694> can somebody help me?
[09:52] <hiouh> thanks ;)
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  which X files? puppy linux should have them in /etc/X11/xorg.conf same location on the ubuntu hard drie also.
[09:52] <hiouh> im downgrading from 9.10 to 9.04
[09:52] <Flannel> !danger
[09:52] <hiouh> I have many network difficulties in 9.10
[09:52] <hiouh> and it seems slower than 9.04
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  id be curious if any other live linux cds also work.
[09:53] <Emanon> might consider making sure your mirrors are in your country ssv1994 that (logically anyways) should not have anything illegal in your country
[09:53] <relentless> Dr_Willis,  there isnt an xorg.conf in ubuntu9.10
[09:53] <iceroot> !ask | Guest81694
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> relentless:  i have one. :) and i told him to copy the one from puppy linux TO  the ubuntu /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:53] <hiouh> what command? lol
[09:53] <Chrysalis> trying to install restricted-extras and it fails on mscorefonts trying to find a sourceforge mirror, any idea how to work around this?
[09:53] <echotone> Dr_Willis: I have my hdd mounted and i caant find them at that location. etc/X11/xorg.conf doesnt exist. hmmm
[09:53] <Emanon> probably the dd command
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  ubuntu dosetn need one. BUt it can use one. actually - let me pastebin mine... its for nvidia cards
[09:54] <Flannel> MidnightBomber: Alright, please pastebin this: `apt-cache policy wine wine1.2; sudo apt-get install wine1.2`
[09:54] <relentless> Flannel, mine is hda :p
[09:54] <Emanon> like someone telling windows n00bs to deltree c:/
[09:54] <ssv1994> Emanon, I live in Latvia, you think, that there is nothing illegal?
[09:54] <echotone> i have a handfull of live cds that i made today that i have not tried yet. I'll get back to you on that.
[09:54] <Flannel> jmk1234: Not the ones given to you
[09:54] <Flannel> erm
[09:54] <Emanon> ive heard they have some odd laws ill check for latvia specifically
[09:54] <Flannel> hiouh: notthe ones given to you
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  heres the one for my dual screen setup on an nvidia 8800gtsxxx box -> http://pastebin.com/f7ba0aff6
[09:55] <hiouh> haha, just making sure :D
[09:55] <alkisg> iceroot: Please excuse me for insisting, I really think my poor English doesn't help me describe my problem correctly, so let me describe it again with more words:
[09:55] <alkisg> I have a server which has samba installed and 100 user accounts on it. One of those user accounts is "alkisg".
[09:55] <alkisg> I also have a client, "pc1". This pc1 has only one user account, "test". The user account "alkisg" DOES NOT EXIST on pc1. Can samba help me logon USING GDM to pc1 with the alkisg account?
[09:55] <FloodBot3> alkisg: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  and heres one from nvidia 5500 machine --> http://pastebin.com/f24de3928
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  but it could be that Puppuy works because its using the vesa or 'nv' video driver. not the 'nvidia' one. compare  those to what puppy linux isusing.
[09:56] <ultra_> could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player?
[09:56] <vietw0rm> install nevida new version :">
[09:56] <echotone> Dr_Willis: what can i do with this file? should i create the /etc/X11... file?
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf   Yes...
[09:56] <Daifan> Are there any other ways to install sound drivers without the use of alsa server?
[09:56] <Flannel> relentless: Your on an old version of Ubuntu, you should think about upgrading
[09:56] <thevishy> I got a spam DCC receive option from itc
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  or try the one that puppylinux uses.. keep a collectipon of them see if any work.
[09:57] <relentless> Flannel, not I set it to hda
[09:57] <thevishy> irc* , and I hve auto accept file offers as NO
[09:57] <alkisg> iceroot: in that scenario, I don't understand what configuration is needed on the client to validate the user account on the server, so I'd appreciate it if you could point me to a how-to.

[09:57] <vladimir_> I can't play flash contents in firefox.
[09:57] <thevishy> It is infact some adult movie that popped up as do u want to accept it
[09:57] <echotone> Dr_Willis: alright, cool. thank you.
[09:57] <relentless> vladimir_, did you download the plugin?
[09:58] <Emanon> on a side note bill-barriere might consider having them use dcfldd it works faster
[09:58] <Ahri> i've written a daemon, and an init script for it. when i use the init script it correctly executes the daemon, however as the daemon does not background itself the init script just hangs (until said damon is killed). what is the solution to this problem?
[09:58] <MidnightBomber> flannel: this is going to take a while, hope your here when it finishes it's download
[09:58] <relentless> Ahri, did you fork it?
[09:58] <Flannel> MidnightBomber: Oh, it's downloading?  That's interesting.  It should've given you an error.
[09:58] <vladimir_> yes relentless and it is also enabled in add-ons.
[09:58] <ultra_> could anyone PLEASE tell me how to stop streams from cutting out and buffering 2-3 times an hour while I'm listening to them on any media player?
[09:59] <Ahri> relentless: the init script does not fork it, no. it's using start-stop-daemon to call the daemon
[09:59] <davep> what is the difference between linux-generic, and linux-image-generic?
[09:59] <relentless> Ahri, try putting an & after callign to daemon or rewriting the script to fork
[09:59] <LeonWessels> Hi, I have the repositories as iso images on my hd and want to install from them.
[09:59] <LeonWessels> Using apt-cdrom add allow only adding one image and
[09:59] <LeonWessels> using loopback devices to mount the images present a problem because there are not enough loopback devices to mount all the images at once.
[09:59] <LeonWessels> Is there a better way to add iso repositories?
[09:59] <FloodBot3> LeonWessels: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> ultra_:  upp your buffer size.. or rip the stream first using streamtuner/streamripper perhaps.   and thats about all i can suggest - given the  lack of details you give.
[10:00] <relentless> vladimir_, flash isnt an addon, you have to install the plugin via commandline
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> LeonWessels:  how many images are you using anyway?
[10:00] <netcube> hi @ all
[10:00] <echotone> Dr_Willis: what is the second part of the link you gave me? I made the xorg.conf file should that second part go in the same file?
[10:00] <Emanon> might consider going through the little bit of work to install it from the site rather than from the repo i've had better results with flash that way
[10:00] <Ahri> relentless: ok, do you mean that the daemon should for itself?
[10:00] <Emanon> especially on 64 bit
[10:00] <vladimir_> relentless,thnks I will try it out.
[10:00] <LeonWessels> I have 11 images
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  they are my xorg.conf from 2 different machines. both with nvidia cards. ones an 8800 dual montor. other is a 5500 single display.
[10:01] <relentless> !flash
[10:01] <relentless> HA!
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  save them somwehere for examples to look at/try
[10:01] <relentless> !flash | vladimir_
[10:01] <thevishy> Dr_Willis, I have my DCC option as no and yet yday night I got some 10 spam of a movie through IRC DCC
[10:01] <echotone> Dr_Willis: thanks for clarifying.
[10:01] <relentless> Ahri, just at the end of the command you use to call the daemon
[10:02] <thevishy> I had to manually click abort each time - why is this spam happening ? I can say the user names
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> thevishy:  my client just prints a message then ignores the send. so i dont have an issue.
[10:02] <ssv1994> Emanon, are all contents on an ubuntu CD legal?
[10:02] <airtonix> Dr_Willis, i assume this 8800 nvidea dual monitor setup is with an older version of ubuntu? (my nvidia binary drivers seem to make it really easy to hotplug extra monitors for multi-desktop)
[10:02] <thevishy> Dr_Willis, How can I set it to that mode ?
[10:02] <cityLights> I am still looking for help girls and guys, how may I upgrade avahi on my jaunty?
[10:02] <LeonWessels> Dr_Willis: I have 11 iso images
[10:02] <Emanon> i think on the cd but im not sure on the repositories
[10:02] <relentless> ciphergoth1, sudo apt-get -u install avahi
[10:02] <ssv1994> but on a cd it is fine
[10:02] <airtonix> cityLights, not sure , but i'd be checking for a ppa repository
[10:02] <thevishy> I think XChat doesnt have that option perhaps ?
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> LeonWessels:  why in the world are you even needing to have that many? you cloned the full repository?
[10:03] <Emanon> cause the cds by default dont install ANY proprietary stuff
[10:03] <airtonix> thevishy, it does
[10:03] <Emanon> you have to enable them intentionally
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> airtonix:  both are using 9.10  here.
[10:03] <thevishy> airtonix, can you tell me how to make it ?
[10:03] <Azeotrope> does anyone knows how can I convert multple .html files to .txt files?
[10:03] <Dr_Willis> airtonix:  i just install the monitors and  tweak the settings to get them to the right locations.
[10:03] <airtonix> thevishy, http://www.ubuntu-pics.de/bild/34142/screenshot_003_XMKRO0.png
[10:04] <airtonix> Dr_Willis, does nvidia-settings not do this for you?
[10:04] <LeonWessels> Dr_Willis: I have a very limited internet connection so I got the repositories as iso images.
[10:04] <relentless> Azeotrope, cat /path/to/page.html > yourpage.txt
[10:04] <airtonix> Dr_Willis, (assuming you are using the non-opne-source drivers)
[10:04] <Stavros> Anybody got any idea how to get a microphone to work when sound works perfectly on ubuntu 9.10 please?
[10:04] <alkisg> I have a server which has samba configured as a domain controller and 100 user accounts on it. I also have a client, "pc1", which has only one local user account. Can samba help me logon to pc1 using the user accounts of the server, or is LDAP *required* to do that?
[10:04] <oCean_> !info html2text
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> airtonix:  it does.. but that tool has issues when you dont even have an xorg.conf - and i keep archives of my old xorg.confs just in case. :)
[10:04] <airtonix> Dr_Willis, ok now i understand
[10:05] <vladimir_> relentless,there is no package named flash--so it says in apt-get install.
[10:05] <relentless> LeonWessels, the downloading of the repositories is just virtual, you dont nesscerily need them as an iso
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> LeonWessels:  ive seen waysto increase the # of loopback devices you can use. but i forget where i saw that at.
[10:05] <Emanon> its flashplugin-nonfree
[10:05] <relentless> vladimir_, did you read the link I sent you>?
[10:05] <fhenning09> Anyone know where I can get my hands on this pdf "Java Software Solutions?" I'd prefer to look at it before I buy the book in a month for classes get a slight jump on the material.
[10:05] <Emanon> and you have to enable restricted repos i think
[10:05] <relentless> !flash | vladimir_
[10:05] <Ahri> Azeotrope: `rename 's/\.html$/.txt/'` *.html -- if you just want to rename files
[10:05] <Flannel> fhenning09: Please take non-support questions elsewhere, thanks.
[10:06] <Ahri> Azeotrope: `rename 's/\.html$/.txt/' *.html`, even :)
[10:06] <fhenning09> I found a way outdated one on gigapedia.com but was hoping for a more recent copy
[10:06] <Stavros>  Anybody got any idea how to get a microphone to work when sound works perfectly on ubuntu 9.10 please?
[10:06] <LeonWessels> Dr_Willis: I'll look some more to try to increase the number of loopback devices.
[10:06] <relentless> Stavros, The mic should work did you turn up the volume on the mic?
[10:06] <Emanon> careful fhenning companies trying to be obviously up and up sometimes get pretty stern about questionable sources of stuff
[10:07] <oCean_> Azeotrope: my guess is, you don't need just a rename, but an actual conversion? See ubottu's link 20 lines above ^^
[10:07] <Azeotrope> Ahri, i want to get rid of the html formatting. things like /b etc
[10:07] <Stavros> its an inbuilt mic into the laptop, i looked in volume control unmuted it and turned it right up.
[10:07] <oCean_> Azeotrope: use html2text
[10:07] <relentless> Stavros, Are you trying to listen to the mic as you talk in it?
[10:08] <Stavros> no trying to get it to register any input.
[10:08] <Emanon> try switching WHICH mic you use
[10:08] <Stavros> tried it
[10:08] <Emanon> unmute it
[10:08] <Optimus55> anyone know if ubuntu laptops can make a sound when volume key pressed?
[10:08] <Stavros> done and done
[10:09] <thevishy> is there any good ram memory manager software in ubuntu ?

[10:15] <alkisg> iceroot: I asked in #samba and they told me that LDAP is ***required*** in order for samba to work as a PDC, so I guess what you told me wasn't correct. Thank you anyway.
[10:16] <relentless> alkisg, I dont have LDAP for my PDC
[10:16] <surmandal> Administrator_, hi could you please help me out to solve the sound problem in karmic
[10:16] <Emanon> on a side note my computarded mother has been using unr 9.10 for like 2 months now with no issues at all
[10:16]  * alkisg cries.. :-/
[10:16] <surmandal> Administrator_, I have a sounde card driver problem in acer 5610
[10:16]  * Dr_Willis barely knows what ldap and pdc are...
[10:16] <alkisg> relentless: could you please point me to some how to? To know what I'm looking for?
[10:17] <surmandal> Administrator_, after upgrading to karmin, it is not working
[10:17] <ultra_> Dr_Willis: how does you up your buffer size?
[10:17] <surmandal> Administrator_, snd_hda_intel: Unknown parameter `5610' this is the message from dmesg
[10:17] <relentless> alkisg, http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/samba-pdc.html
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> ultra_:  use the players settings  normally.
[10:18] <relentless> surmandal, Administrator_ is just a nickname everyone is here to help you not jus tone person, Just ask your questions and someone can help you
[10:18] <netcube> I've got a question. I am using Karmic, Firefox and flashplugin-nonfree from the default repositories. Flash stuff, like youtube videos, do work, but I cannot interact with many of them (not all). For example, I cannot press pause or change the volume.
[10:18] <surmandal> relentless, thanks for the info
[10:18] <ultra_> Dr_Willis: its totem and there are no such settings
[10:18] <Emanon> that was happening to me too netcube
[10:18] <netcube> and how did you solve it, Emanon?
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> ultra_:  no idea. I rarely use totem. theres other players out there.
[10:19] <surmandal> relentless, I have a sound problem in my acer 5610, after upgrading to karmic
[10:19] <Emanon> uninstall flashplugin-nonfree nsplugins and flashplugin-installer and install it manually from their site
[10:19] <surmandal> snd_hda_intel: Unknown parameter `5610' relentless this is the eror message from dmesg
[10:19] <Emanon> its just a .so file you put in the plugins folder
[10:19] <EricInBNE> can anyone tell me how to install mod_dav_svn on ubuntu hardy? ffs
[10:19] <Emanon> worked way better than the default for me
[10:19] <netcube> okay, I'm gonna try that. Thanks
[10:19] <alkisg> relentless: thank you. Can I please ask you a yes/no question? Is it possible *using samba but not LDAP* to have a server with 100 user accounts, and a client with just one local user, and to logon to that client using the username/password from a user account from the server?
[10:19] <Emanon> not to mention they have a 64 bit version
[10:19] <ultra_> Dr_Willis: i use totem because it works with my media buttons on my laptop
[10:20] <relentless> alkisg, yes, that is how I have it set up at work
[10:20] <jean-claude> Hi, I have a problem with usb I think.I am on a old amilo (celeron1.6 512ddr) , the trackpad is ok but when I use an usb mouse when i launch program the pointer is very slow ... I try my scanner and it seems that the scan is slow too .. Someone has an idea of how to slow the prob ?
[10:20] <relentless> alkisg, the only issue you will run into is roaming profiles, and autintication
[10:20] <relentless> *authintication
[10:20] <alkisg> relentless: thank you very much. iceroot: I'm really sorry, I guess they misinformed me at #samba.

[10:21] <surmandal>  I have a sound problem in my acer 5610, after upgrading to karmic, snd_hda_intel: Unknown parameter `5610' relentless this is the eror message from dmesg
[10:21] <relentless> surmandal, I saw the first time, That isnt enough information. What are you trying to do when this happens?
[10:21] <echotone> Dr_willis: I added the xorg.conf file and it brought me to a command line when i reboot.  A lot better than a black screen, but still not quite what im looking for haha
[10:22] <surmandal> relentless, sound is not working
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  well thats narrowed it down a bit then to a potential x config ieeus
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  does 'startx' give any error messages?
[10:22] <surmandal> relentless, while aplay -l aplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...
[10:22] <airtonix> Jesper84, so you are not able to get a connection back again?
[10:22] <surmandal> relentless, after upgrading to karmic, this is happening
[10:22] <relentless> surmandal, what is the sounds card.
[10:22] <Jesper84> airtonix: Yeah thats right.
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  also that config was set to use the nvidia driver. which you proberly dont have installed.
[10:23] <Diverdude> i have mounted a remote drive using sshfs. When i then open e.g. a textfile in gedit and want to save it it says permission denied. How do i open it with the right priviledges?

[10:23] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  you could try changeing the   Driver 'Nvidia' line tobe  -> Driver 'nv' and see if it works.. also try   Driver 'vesa'
[10:23] <Emanon> sorry for miniflood
[10:23] <airtonix> Jesper84, (just winging it here, since i dont have a netbook nor have i tried the os for it ) but : have you tried taking the network device offline and putting it back online again? (ifconfig eth0 down etc etc )
[10:24] <Flannel> EricInBNE: The language isn't necessary.  And the package is libapache2-svn
[10:24] <Emanon> in case that guy with flash issue was still on
[10:24] <echotone> Dr_willis: would i need to reboot to try that? and i never installed an nvidia driver. but i am okay with taking baby steps for now.
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  im not sure of what package name for your driver/card. does 'startx'  work? that would be test #1
[10:24] <Jesper84> airtonix: no, I haven't tried that. I did 'networking restart' without effect. But I'll try your suggestion. Thanks
[10:24] <airtonix> Jesper84, just be aware that the device might not be eth0
[10:25] <thevishy> !ram
[10:25] <Snowboarder> i have mounted a remote drive using sshfs. When i then open e.g. a textfile in gedit and want to save it it says permission denied. How do i open it with the right priviledges?
[10:25] <Jesper84> airtonix: sure thing... thanks
[10:25] <Emanon> sudo chown -hR youruser:yourgroup /path/to/file
[10:25] <echotone> Dr_Willis: I'll reboot.
[10:25] <surmandal> relentless, is that a enough information that is provided..?
[10:26] <relentless> surmandal, yes
[10:26] <relentless> surmandal, http://thio4linux.wordpress.com/2007/10/06/intel-hda-intel-corporation-82801g/
[10:26] <Emanon> then it will belong to your user
[10:26] <relentless> surmandal, You just need to reinstall ALSA.
[10:26] <Emanon> or you can sudo gedit to avoid changing permissions
[10:27] <relentless> surmandal, that is the long way of doing it, you can try sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa
[10:27] <jean-claude> Hi, I have a problem with usb I think.I am on a old amilo (celeron1.6 512ddr) , the trackpad is ok but when I use an usb mouse when i launch program the pointer is very slow ... I try my scanner and it seems that the scan is slow too .. Someone has an idea of how to slow the prob ?
[10:27] <surmandal> relentless, ok, but I have upgraded alsa to version 1.0.21
[10:28] <EricInBNE> Flannel, your a gentleman and a scholar
[10:28] <ghaith> Hi, i'm trying to setup dual monitor on a live cd, i have an ati x300SE (supported by the open source drivers AFAIK) when i set the display options to extend the monitor, the desktop effects turn off
[10:28] <jean-claude> I saw a solution saying to plug the mouse in an ohter usb device but nothing change, I try with a other mouse, same problem
[10:29] <ghaith> the lcd is connected through dvi
[10:29] <surmandal> relentless, sudo dpkg-reconfigure alsa then >>Package `alsa' is not installed and no info is available., should I install the alsa
[10:29] <Exaltia> jean-claude, look your mouse speed settings
[10:29] <ghaith> on my laptop compiz is still functioning normally with an ATI hd4650 card with the closed source drivers
[10:29] <Exaltia> jean-claude, i doubt that usb port speed has an effect on a mouse pointer speed, but it could have one on your scanner
[10:30] <jean-claude> Exaltia : the problem is the mouse works fine 90% of the time but when i launch program or do something else it is very very slow
[10:30] <jean-claude> Exaltia : but when I use the trackpad is ok 100% of the time
[10:31] <Emanon> for most things i prefer a touchpad myself (no statement against those who prefer mouse tho) do have to use mouse for some games just cause its faster for me
[10:31] <relentless> surmandal, can you pastebin the output from "apport-collect 480318" in the commandsline
[10:31] <relentless> *command line
[10:31] <Exaltia> how slow, mouse pointer is moving anytime at the same speed or does it "jump" ?
[10:32] <jean-claude> jump yes
[10:32] <katakbuta> hey any idea why grep still print out blank lines with these: grep -v "^$" textfile
[10:32] <io__> ciao tutti
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> every line even blank ones have a start and an end of line   katakbuta
[10:32] <Dr_Willis> katakbuta:  or so i rcall from my 'using regular expressions' book.
[10:33] <jean-claude> for example when I launch firefox, the 2 first second it is unusable because it jump , same thing for program so its not linked to firefox
[10:33] <Exaltia> jean-claude, looks like this is a performance problem , try to desactivate compiz and so on, the point is that your trackpad is probably on the ps/2 bus, wich requires far less cpu to handle versus usb
[10:33] <jean-claude> Exaltia : I have already disactive compiz etc because yes its a old computer
[10:33] <Emanon> and (depending on the computer) firefox CAN be a pretty big load
[10:34] <Exaltia> jean-claude, how many ram?
[10:34] <jean-claude> yes but when I launch firefox using the trackpad is not sow at all
[10:34] <katakbuta> Dr_Willis: any better suggestion for the grep regex
[10:34] <jean-claude> 512ddr
[10:34] <Exaltia> jean-claude, wich window manager?
[10:34] <Emanon> thats real odd
[10:34] <jean-claude> gnome (?)
[10:34] <Emanon> metacity then
[10:34] <jop7li> use chromium!
[10:34] <Snowboarder> i have mounted a remote drive using sshfs. When i then open e.g. a textfile in gedit and want to save it it says permission denied. How do i open it with the right priviledges?
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> katakbuta:  ive seen that 'example' used/mentioned in several grep/regrexp tutorals/books - but  Im not sure what you are trying to do.. and ive not done munch grep-fu in ages
[10:35] <Emanon> snowboarder scroll up i answered it a while ago
[10:35] <echotone> Dr_Willis: startx gave me fatal error 'no screens found'  parse error in line 1 section (null) in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "1" is not a valid keyword
[10:35] <jean-claude> Exaltia : I was using ubuntu 8.10 last week, same problem. Now 9.10 exactly same prob
[10:35] <Emanon> open it as root with sudo or change the ownership with chown
[10:35] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  Hmm.. how did you save/copy the xorg.conf file anyway? you dident use Notepad did you?
[10:36] <surmandal> relentless, http://pastebin.com/m57f9ce62
[10:36] <Snowboarder> Emanon, damn....its already gone
[10:36] <Snowboarder> Emanon, Can you please repeat it
[10:36] <MidnightBomber> flannel: http://paste.ubuntu.com/340452/
[10:36] <Emanon> k sudo chown -hR youruser:yourgroup yourfile
[10:36] <Exaltia> jean-claude, try to install a lighter weighted desktop manager (window manager?) like xfce or equivalent, and test, i think i can't be of anymore help at this point, sorry
[10:36] <Emanon> or sudo gedit yourfile
[10:36] <echotone> Dr_Willis: puppy has an "edit" app that i would compare to notepad. yes.
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  you also realize (if network is working) you can irc from the console of the system.  install weechat, or irssi
[10:37] <Emanon> yea sorry no answer from me either jean
[10:37] <Flannel> MidnightBomber: Your original issues stems from your use of that PPA, looks like it's got some issues with packaging.
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  so you used puppy - thats ok then. Not sure what that error means however.
[10:37] <jean-claude> Exaltia : ok I ll try, or use windows xp :'(
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  you may want to try the 2nd xorg.conf i posted. the much simpiler one.
[10:37]  * Exaltia dies from jean-claude answer
[10:37] <Emanon> watch that language
[10:37] <Snowboarder> Emanon, was that for me: sudo chown -hR youruser:yourgroup yourfile ?
[10:37] <thevishy> does anyone know of any memory management software ? I notice that my comptuer is getting very slow if I keep it on for long time
[10:37] <echotone> may i get the link again?
[10:37] <Emanon> yea snow
[10:37] <MidnightBomber> flanel: what is PPA?
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  that error sounds like the xorg.conf has some bad data in it however.
[10:38] <MidnightBomber> flannel: apt-get?
[10:38] <Emanon> that changes the owner of the file (and any inside it) to your user of your group
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  like when it got cut/pasted/saved it has some extra characters/blank/non-viewable characters
[10:38] <Emanon> so be carefull only to do it to folders you need permission to all the contents of
[10:38] <echotone> Dr_Willis: may i get the link again. I am going to try the same one but i am going to remove the line numbers from it.
[10:38] <Flannel> MidnightBomber: You added a PPA (personal package archive) to your sources for something.  Looks like it's got wine in it, and that version of wine is the cause of your packaging problems
[10:38] <pc-destop> can somebody help me. after update my resolution is low 640x480. i'm using ubuntu 9.10 and nvidia mx 400 graphic card
[10:38] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  Line Numbers? egads. :) thats the issue.. the pastebin sites have links to download the actual file. Nop need to cut/paste...
[10:38] <Emanon> might even consider doing it on a file by file basis as opposed to recursivly to a directory with -hR
[10:39] <relentless> surmandal, sudo apt-get install alsa-driver
[10:39] <ceW> bayu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:39] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  http://pastebin.com/f3e1176c    for my 'twinview' box.
[10:39] <surmandal> relentless, E: Couldn't find package alsa-driver
[10:39] <relentless> k
[10:39] <Snowboarder> Emanon, I get this errormessage then: chown: cannot access `neteTuberkolose.sas': Permission denied
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  http://pastebin.com/fdbeb800
[10:39] <Emanon> did you sudo?
[10:40] <MidnightBomber> flannel: it seems to be acquiring all software perfectly now. Thank you very much for your assistance!
[10:40] <bayu> swetetetet
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> echotone:  near the top of the page is a 'download' link   use that.
[10:40] <Emanon> cause to change ownership from another user to your own you must be root or at least the command may be
[10:40] <Flannel> MidnightBomber: If you go to software sources (under System > ADministration, might be "software preferences" depending on your version) you can disable it if you have problems in the future.  It's under the third party repositories robably.
[10:40] <Emanon> must be i mean
[10:40] <echotone> Dr_Willis: okay so i'll try and fix that. Thank you.
[10:41] <Snowboarder> Emanon, do you think it would be an idea to go to the server and cmod it?
[10:41] <Emanon> idk
[10:41] <katakbuta> Dr_Willis: what does this regex match: ^.$
[10:41] <iflema> pc-destop: where you using the 3d proprietary driver
[10:41] <Emanon> i just know that when i need a file and i dont own it i chown it
[10:41] <relentless> surmandal, sudo apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils
[10:41] <Emanon> no rhyme intended
[10:42] <pc-destop> iflema, what do you mean with where?
[10:42] <wvd> So, two questions, first this one. Yesterday I installed ubuntu for my first time (also linux for my first time), i've let the installer make the partitions automatically. Now I can only boot windows from dev/sda2 instead of dev/sda1, can this be possible?
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> katakbuta:  no idea. id have to reread my regrex books -   i think it would match 1 character on a line. and thats it.
[10:42] <thevishy> Hi guys I notice that Mem:        500120     492460       7660 my ram is fully used though I dont have too many software runnung
[10:42] <Snowboarder> Emanon, what does it mean to chown it?
[10:42] <thevishy> any idea how can I clear up memory
[10:42] <Dr_Willis> katakbuta:  <start of line> <1 and only 1 character> <end of line>
[10:42] <Emanon> change ownership
[10:42] <Emanon> and gratz on trying us out wvd
[10:43] <wvd> Emanon: I want to be asap gone from windows :-)
[10:43] <Emanon> when you auto-partitioned it wvd it resized windows and put ubuntu before it in the partition order
[10:43] <wvd> k
[10:43] <Snowboarder> Emanon, this file is residing on another server...So the owner is the user on that server. Might that be the cause?
[10:43] <Emanon> yea
[10:43] <Emanon> you cant chown a file if your not root of the box it resides on
[10:44] <wvd> Second question: Ubuntu doesn't reconigze my internet connection. My internet setup is like this: We got a router, and our main computer just has a wireless connection. This computer has some small thing with an antenna plugged into the USB-port. Why doesn't Ubuntu reconigze my connection?
[10:44] <Dreamglider> i have problems with video playback, the image is very "pixilated" it's like the video resc is very low, how can i fix this ?
[10:44] <Emanon> might consider copying it to a local directory and chowning it there
[10:44] <Emanon> or becoming root of the server
[10:44] <Emanon> linux sometimes has issue with wifi dongles
[10:44] <Emanon> what is the brand/model of the dongle?
[10:44] <Emanon> thats the antenna thing
[10:45] <oCean_> !prefix | Emanon
[10:45] <surmandal> relentless, after that, do i need to anything ..?
[10:45] <Emanon> sorry oCean your right
[10:45] <surmandal> I have remove the previous packages and re install it
[10:45] <Emanon> that was for wvd (the dongle comment)
[10:45] <Snowboarder> Emanon, How do i get to become root of the server?
[10:45] <Emanon> you would have to talk to its admin Snow i doubt its gonna happen
[10:45] <relentless> surmandal, did it install?
[10:46] <surmandal> yes
[10:46] <wvd> Emanon: Ehhm, can I see it on the antenna thing?
[10:46] <Emanon> might consider just copying the file to local directory where you ARE root and changing the ownership there
[10:46] <Emanon> should be able too
[10:46] <Emanon> to
[10:46] <surmandal> relentless, reinstall
[10:46] <Emanon> wvd
[10:46] <wvd> Siemens gigaset usb apadtar 108 << Emanon
[10:46] <relentless> surmandal, at most maybe a reboot.
[10:46] <Snowboarder> Emanon, hehe yes thats not gonna happen :)
[10:46] <Emanon> k let me check for issues with that model
[10:46] <abeh_smith> slve
[10:47] <surmandal> relentless, ok let me reboot the machine
[10:47] <wvd> Emanon: Don't I have to tell Ubuntu somehow that I'm using that kind of internet?
[10:47] <iflema> pc-destop: oh... mx 400
[10:47] <Emanon> wvd i imagine so checking online now
[10:48] <davep> expert install is still bugged, grub tries to install from inside a chroot with no dev files
[10:48] <davep> >:|
[10:48] <Emanon> wvd what version of ubuntu?
[10:48] <pc-destop> iflema, nvidia geforce2 mx400
[10:49] <wvd> Emanon: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download - 9.10 32 bit
[10:49] <Emanon> k desktop 9.10 32 bit thanks
[10:50] <Emanon> wvd you know where your network icon is in the system tray?
[10:50] <wvd> Emanon: Ehhm, i'm currently on windows - I'd would have to reboot.
[10:51] <wvd> Emanon: I'll find it.
[10:51] <Emanon> kk
[10:51] <Emanon> if you left click on it it should either show wifi in range
[10:51] <wvd> Emanon: Ah, and it's just setting up then?
[10:51] <Emanon> if it does just connect if not you need to install a driver or configure it somehow
[10:52] <Emanon> so if it doesnt detect the card try right clicking and selecting edit connections
[10:52] <wvd> Emanon: I think I have to enter a password also, but I can't find that book atm :P
[10:52] <surmandal> relentless, Thanks, it is working :D
[10:53] <Emanon> at which point a window will pop up with tabs across the top wired wireless mobile etc
[10:53] <relentless> surmandal, You are very welcome.
[10:53] <alkisg> relentless: I'm looking at this image from the docs, could you tell me which sid2uid path are you using? tdbsam? http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/images/idmap-sid2uid.png
[10:53] <surmandal> relentless, really...I had a very tough time.
[10:53] <Emanon> if you need a driver (provided your repositories have one) an icon should appear pretty soon in the system tray telling you proprietary drivers are available (thats how it worked for me anyways)
[10:54] <surmandal> relentless, I tried to upgrading the alsa driver
[10:54] <surmandal> relentless, finally, after reinstalling the driver it works
[10:54] <surmandal> relentless, really appreciated
[10:54] <relentless> surmandal, You didnt have the driver installed...
[10:54] <katakbuta> how do you specify both -type f and -type d in find?
[10:54] <relentless> Any Time
[10:54] <Emanon> or you could try telling it to search for drivers manually will be in your system>administration>hardware drivers
[10:55] <Emanon> with any luck there is one available
[10:55] <Pria_Sendirian> server irc.dal.net
[10:55] <katakbuta> or its not possible to have multiple find type
[10:55] <katakbuta> ?
[10:55] <ortsvorsteher> katakbuta, just dont search for a type if it could be a dir or a file.
[10:55] <relentless> alkisg, tdbsam
[10:55] <katakbuta> ortsvorsteher: but i want to exclude symlinks
[10:55] <alkisg> relentless: and you manually replicate it across the clients?
[10:56] <ortsvorsteher> katakbuta, ah, i forgot them... sry
[10:56] <pc-destop> iflema, i got it working back again, just updatet the drivers for nvidia ...
[10:56] <relentless> alkisg, no it will do it on its own per user
[10:57] <pc-destop> iflema, but the graphic doesn't respond good on higher resolution ...
[10:57] <alkisg> relentless: thanks, /me reads on...
[10:57] <iflema> pc-destop:respond? do you have a crt monitor (big and boxy)?
[10:58] <halcyforn> hello
[10:58] <pc-destop> iflema, yes i have a CRT monitor
[10:58] <Emanon> on a unrelated topic i lie ubuntu tweak
[10:58] <Emanon> *like
[10:58] <iflema> pc-destop: what do mean respond... describe
[10:58] <pc-destop> the picture is not liquid ....
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> Emanon:  its handy. Theres a few other handy tools like that also.
[10:58] <halcyforn> i have small problem
[10:59] <iflema> pc-destop: what is it?
[10:59] <pc-destop> iflema, if I minimize window, etc...
[10:59] <Emanon> i was trying to find auto-ndiswrapper but it seems its disappeared
[10:59] <Emanon> what it is halcy
[10:59] <iflema> pc-destop: choppy
[10:59] <ortsvorsteher> halcyforn, so try an small question with all details in it. just in one line...
[10:59] <pc-destop> iflema, let's say the response time is slow. yes, choppy
[10:59] <relentless> alkisg, You will fid that it is really easy to get everything set up, once I read that I made a copy of my smb.conf. I can give you it when you are done reading
[10:59] <diop> hi all
[11:00] <relentless> *fond
[11:00] <alkisg> relentless: thank you, I'd really appreciate if you did :)
[11:00] <halcyforn> my alsa doesnt, work propetly i have sound on headphones and speaker
[11:00] <wers> I got a new 500gb (LaCie mobile disk) external hard drive. it's pre-formatted to fat32. it tells me to format it to ntfs to optimise for windows. if i'm going to store data on it from ubuntu and windows, what's the best partition type? :)
[11:00] <Emanon> ubuntu can access ntfs too so no issue there
[11:00] <relentless> wers, fat32
[11:00] <pc-destop> iflema, is there any possible way to set all the graphic settings to minimun. i have the NVIDIA x server settings windows, i set there all the stuff to minimum, bit it doesn't help
[11:01] <diop> have this error : Errors were encountered while processing gnome-accessibility-themes gnome-themes-selected gnome-themes
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> wers:  depedns on what you are storeing on it also.
[11:01] <iflema> pc-destop: do you know you pc stats... cpu ram etc...?
[11:01] <relentless> halcyforn, what is your model for sound card.
[11:01] <pc-destop> cpu celeron 700 MHz,
[11:01] <wers> Dr_Willis, what kinds of file will affect my choice?
[11:01] <pc-destop> iflema, what's the command in terminal for RAM
[11:01] <llutz> wers: all >4GB (i.e. videos)
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> wers:  storeing Huge files? 4+GB or not?
[11:01] <wers> relentless, thanks. why? i wonder why it says that ntfs is better for windows
[11:01] <iflema> pc-destop: free
[11:02] <diop> trying to do an updae wirhin karmic
[11:02] <iflema> lol
[11:02] <Emanon> wers cause Redmond are bags
[11:02] <pc-destop> iflema, Mem: 379960
[11:02] <Snowboarder> when i go into the compiz settings manager->generel options->Desktop size I can only change the horizontal and vertical size, but the number of desktops is locked to 1. How can i change it to e.g. 4 desktops so that i can make the rotating cube?
[11:02] <wers> Dr_Willis, no file as big as 4gb. many small files
[11:03] <Emanon> horizontal size=4
[11:03] <pc-destop> iflema, it think this is the problem, I have only  10904 free memory
[11:03] <Dr_Willis> wers:  prboberly dosent matter then.
[11:03] <relentless> wers, ntfs is not native to GNU/Linux

[11:03] <wers> relentless, but fat32 is?
[11:03] <iflema> pc-destop: celleron is an issue really
[11:03] <Emanon> Snowboarder Horizontal size=4 all others =1
[11:03] <wers> Dr_Willis, why? what kind is best for large (4gb+) files?
[11:04] <pc-destop> iflema, the above command gave me  Adaptor #0: "NV05 Video Blitter"
[11:04] <relentless> wers, yep.
[11:04] <iflema> pc-destop: argh i assume u have no 3d effects installed compiz etc... ?
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> wers:  anything other then fat/vfat -
[11:04] <Snowboarder> Emanon, ahh yes ok....nice....but now it is a cylinder and not a box
[11:04] <halcyforn> ehh
[11:04] <pc-destop> iflema, no, i'm using xfce..
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> wers:  vfat cant do 4+gb files i belive.
[11:04] <Emanon> turn off the cylindar plugin
[11:04] <Emanon> Snowboarder cube reflection and deformation
[11:04] <Emanon> turn that off
[11:04] <pc-destop> iflema, so you are saying that linux has problems with celeron processor?
[11:05] <iflema> pc-destop: do you have the option of gnome?
[11:05] <Snowboarder> nice nice nice
[11:05] <Snowboarder> Emanon, thx so much
[11:05] <Emanon> np Snow have fun with the Penguin
[11:05] <iflema> pc-destop: no... there just a lower grade
[11:05] <Guest23123> hello, can anyone help me with setting up my touchpad on the Dell mini 10v. It supposedly supports multitouch but I am having problems registering 2 fingers on it when using synclient -m 100. This bug report says that it should have been fixed. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/402863
[11:05] <wers> relentless, thanks :)
[11:05] <pc-destop> iflema, but isn't gnome worse for slow computers?
[11:05] <alkisg> pc-destop: and what does the `xrandr` command give you? Use http://paste.ubuntu.com for the results.
[11:05] <wers> Dr_Willis, what's vfat? it works for win too?
[11:06] <iflema> pc-destop: yep
[11:06] <Heretic> hi all
[11:06] <Emanon> Guest23123 http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html ?
[11:06] <halcyforn> hmm maybe my problem isd imposible to repair
[11:06] <surmandal> relentless, can I ask another question
[11:06] <iflema> pc-destop: so your saying its for sure smoother at lower res
[11:06]  * alkisg has a celeron @700 and an nvidia mx 4000 and it works just fine :)
[11:06] <pc-destop> iflema, http://paste.ubuntu.com/340461/
[11:07] <pc-destop> iflema, let me try again
[11:07] <Emanon> actually gnome uses slightly less resources than kde4 i think
[11:07] <Emanon> not sure though
[11:07] <relentless> surmandal, sure :D
[11:07] <Guest23123> Emanon: I tried that, but it is not working
[11:07] <iflema> 4000
[11:07] <iflema> 400
[11:07] <surmandal> relentless, my arbicam is also not working properly
[11:08] <alkisg> pc-destop: so what is your problem? you can't change the resolution?
[11:08] <surmandal> relentless, picture is Not clear, any idea
[11:08] <relentless> surmandal, like fuzzy not cleaR?
[11:08] <surmandal> relentless, yes
[11:08] <surmandal> I use chees
[11:08] <Guest23123> Emanon: synclient reports that only 1 finger is on the TP when I have 2 on there
[11:08] <pc-destop> alkisg, i can chaneg the resolution, but the problem is that the bigger the resolution is, the slower it is working
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> wers:  vfat is the windows 'fat' filesystem name
[11:08] <Guest23123> Emanon: I enabled shmconfig as detailed on that page
[11:09] <alkisg> pc-destop: and that wasn't the case before?
[11:09] <Emanon> not sure just pointed to the first thing i found that made sense
[11:09] <relentless> surmandal, you need to buy a new cam.
[11:09] <surmandal> relentless, :D
[11:09] <squelos> hello
[11:09] <Emanon> maybe one of the others here knows more than me (almost undoubtedly)
[11:09] <pc-destop> iflema, yes, at lower resolutions, it is working better. i can see significant changes between 1024 nad 640 resolution
[11:09] <surmandal> relentless, but this is working fine in M$ OS
[11:09] <squelos> i was wondering, is there anyway of installing an SSH server without having a fix ip ?
[11:10] <relentless> surmandal, Does it come up when you plug it in?
[11:10] <iflema> pc-destop: hard to say.... youve low specs but not that low...
[11:10] <Emanon> provided you know the ip of the server whatever it is
[11:10] <alkisg> squelos: ? what's wrong with sudo apt-get install openssh-server ?
[11:10] <llutz> squelos: use dyndns, no-ip-account
[11:10] <hikenboot> hello can anyone tell me on lvm2 how to deternine amount of free space available on a file system inside an lvm logical volume?
[11:10] <wers> Dr_Willis, got it. thanks :D
[11:10] <surmandal> relentless, its inbuild, came with acer 5610, 1.3 mega Pix
[11:11] <iflema> pc-destop: and before update no dramas.... smooth at high res. yes?
[11:11] <pc-destop> alkisg, before it was the problem, that i couldn't change resolutions, so i updated drivers, and now i can change resolution. but now i am having another problem. at higher resolutions computer is woking slower ( from graphical view)
[11:11] <Emanon> lvdisplay?
[11:11] <pc-destop> iflema, no it was the same, but i didn't notice this problem, bacause i newer tried low resolution
[11:11] <alkisg> pc-destop: that's normal, your pc is slow... the higher the resolution is , the more data that needs to be transferred
[11:11] <squelos> alkisg : sorry i was inprecise. llutz understood me. Dyndns, ok, ill look it out.  The pulseaudio volume meter tells me otherwise. Any ideas?
[11:13] <pc-destop> alkisg, but is there any way to lower all the graphical details to minimum. and yes i agree with that, but it shouldn't be such a problem. i have a 32 mb graphic card, seleron 700mhz, 380 MB ram
[11:13] <hikenboot> Emanon it doesnt tell me the amount of space left on the file system that resides inside the logical volume
[11:15] <squelos> llutz : do you know any free dyndns services ?
[11:15] <iflema> pc-destop: sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings, sudo nvidia-settings, set and save = generate an xorg.conf and change nvidia to nv
[11:15] <Emanon> um go to the top level directory on the logical volume right click select properties
[11:15] <llutz> squelos: no-ip.com
[11:15] <Emanon> it should show free space
[11:16] <Emanon> hopefully*
[11:16] <naoshige> Emanon: you heard about the rapper emanon?
[11:16] <Emanon> probably but thats not where i got it
[11:16] <Emanon> just needed a new handle and was really into anonymity at the time
[11:16] <llutz> squelos: http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/free_dynamic_dns.html
[11:17] <relentless> surmandal, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/271258, Its a bug in the kernel, check back here for updat
[11:17] <Emanon> No Name= emaN oN
[11:17] <relentless> es
[11:17] <surmandal> relentless, thanks :D
[11:18] <squelos> llutz : thanks a lot
[11:18] <g3nt3lg1ant> how do i get the visual effects to work(extra)
[11:18] <pc-destop> iflema, at the section driver i change the driver "nvidia" to diver "nv" ?
[11:18] <Snowboarder> I am running a program called SAS which consists of a lot of windows. Is it possible to make a panel and  put all the tabs which is now in the lower panel corresponding to the SAS windows into this new panel?
[11:19] <alkisg> pc-destop: it isn't about the graphics detail, even if you just try to scroll a window it's slow at those specs. I have a celeron 700 MHz, 128 Mb nvidia graphics card and 768 MB RAM.
[11:19] <Emanon> Snowboarder might consider the compiz addon group and tab windows
[11:19] <Dr_Willis> Snowboarder:  you could move them all to a second desktop and tell the 'task manager' to only show windows on the current desktop. as a way
[11:19] <Emanon> he already has compiz going might as well use it
[11:20] <Emanon> read the keybindings for group and tab windows if you have questions let me know i LOVE that plugin
[11:20] <Dr_Willis> If you can ever figure out 1/2 the features of compiz...
[11:20] <Emanon> i know that one quite well
[11:20] <pc-destop> alkisg, so the only solution is the face the facts, that this cannot be changed or better modified
[11:20] <Guest99099> how do you boot the cd when grub fails the install?
[11:21] <alkisg> pc-destop: well I can't see your computer, but judging from mine, yes, that's as fast as it can go. You are able to watch a video, right? (not on youtube...)
[11:21] <Dr_Willis> Guest99099:  pop in the cd.. power up.
[11:22] <iflema> pc-destop: yes nvidia to nv
[11:22] <wers> what app would you recommend for transferring a lot of data? taking years on nautilus and it's getting slower as time passes
[11:22] <Guest99099> I get 'error file not found' booting the cd
[11:22] <Emanon> wers locally or to another computer?
[11:23] <wers> Emanon, to a usb hard drive
[11:23] <Guest99099> then i get the grub rescue menu
[11:23] <iflema> pc-destop: log out and back in agin to test
[11:23] <Emanon> might consider moving it manually? copy (cp file destination) or move (mv file destination)
[11:23] <pc-destop> alkisg, yes divx movies are playing fine
[11:23] <relentless> wers, man scp
[11:23] <relentless> wers, man tar
[11:23] <Emanon> skip the interface altogether and do it commandline
[11:24] <alkisg> pc-destop: yeah then changing to nv would only make it worse
[11:24] <davep> grub2's config file seems to not want to be edited.
[11:24] <davep> how do i tell the os prober to ignore the vista bootloader?
[11:24] <Emanon> you editing it as root davep?
[11:25] <davep> it says DO NOT EDIT
[11:25] <davep> :P
[11:25] <Vooloo> my sound doesnt work on hardy Preferences -> Sound, click test. But using Wine and playing with Spotify works.. also Songbird doesn't work. It did work before... is something using my sound device?
[11:25] <Emanon> oh hehe
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> Guest99099:  sounds like the cd is not bootable. How did you burn the cd?
[11:25] <relentless> Vooloo, try upgrading to karmic, you are two versions behind
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> davep:  i think you comment/make unexecutable the proper file in /etc/grub.d/*
[11:25] <pc-destop> alkisg, but DVD movies, i won't be able to play?
[11:25] <Dr_Willis> !grub2
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> davep:  then rerun update-grub
[11:26] <alkisg> pc-destop: No. That's a *CPU* problem, not a graphics card problem. 700Mhz isn't enough for DVD playback.
[11:26] <Emanon> oh anyone know how to kill that drum sound when your ubuntu box hits the login screen i hate OS sounds
[11:26] <pc-destop> iflema, thanks for helping my, but alksig said that he has the same problems but with a little faster computer. so changing to nv wonpt fix this. it just old hardware problem :D
[11:27] <Emanon> i stopped the ones once im logged in but i dont know how to stop that one on the login screen
 yes, it's just restarted after the install hard to believe that it's busted now
[11:27] <pc-destop> alkisg, ok, thanks, then i'll only watch  full HD quality :D. just kidding :D
[11:27] <iflema> pc-destop: true that sort of....
[11:27] <Newbie-Widget> how many types of internet based installs are there ? I can only see Ubuntu...
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> Guest99099:  No idea what you are saying. Be clearer and more concise.
[11:27] <pc-destop> alkisg, iflema , thanks for helping me
[11:28] <alkisg> pc-destop: yw :)
[11:28] <iflema> pc-destop: puppy linux
[11:28] <Emanon> i think he was saying that he just installed from the cd, the install failed and now the cd says its not there which is odd cause he JUST installed from it so he knows its there
[11:28] <iflema> pc-destop: do it all just fine...
[11:28] <iflema> pc-destop: ;)
[11:29] <davep> if i comment out the OS prober
[11:29] <davep> then it wont find XP
[11:29] <Emanon> oooh i forgot i have icecream BRB
[11:29] <davep> >:|
 ill try burning the cd again
[11:30] <zeeble> what are the sources.list entries for the PPA archive to install thunderbird 3.0?
[11:30] <pc-destop> iflema, puppy linux, DSL linux, hm ... but, are they hard to install ?
[11:30] <Dr_Willis> Guest99099:  or verify that the system is trying to boot from the cd.
[11:30] <ultra> can anyone tell me how to reset all of ubuntu's audio settings. everything is really screwed
[11:30] <EricInBNE> is there a special trick to enabling HTTP basic authentication on apache2 in ubuntu hardy?
[11:30] <EricInBNE> have tried all the standard directives and they are just being ignored
[11:30] <iflema> pc-destop: givem a go... just not winblows
[11:31] <ultra> like, how do I change from pulse to alsa
[11:31] <pc-destop> iflema, cuz, in ubuntu my printer is working, it's all starting to work :D
[11:31] <iflema> pc-destop: i know.....
[11:31] <pc-destop> winblows are cool, they blow your nerves :D. but not for free :D
 it is
[11:32] <davep> oh no! i edited the do not edit file! the horror xD
[11:32] <airtonix> EricInBNE, you are using hardy for live webserver?
[11:33] <pc-destop> iflema, i will try puppy or DSL linux in future time, but now a have another problem with ubuntu. every time i go to ctrl+chift+F1 terminal window i try tu put username and passowrd and it is always wrong
[11:33] <airtonix> davep, you have until tuesday ( http://xkcd.com/564/ )
[11:33] <pc-destop> iflema, sory ctrl+alt+F1
[11:33] <EricInBNE> airtonix, its a virtual appliance i am reconfiguring with a hard to install app. i
[11:33] <EricInBNE> meh
[11:34] <ultra> can anyone tell me how to reset all of ubuntu's audio settings. everything is really screwed. for instance could anyone tell me how to change back to alsa?
[11:34] <airtonix> EricInBNE, and when you say 'basic authentication' you mean the user is presented with a uname & pword gui box when they arrive at the location ?
[11:34] <alkisg> relentless: I've only read 1/3 of the samba document so far... but would you mind sending me your smb.conf now, in case I can't find you later on when I finish all of it? Thanks! :D
[11:34] <pc-destop> iflema, i have:    pc-desktop login:    , the username is pc-desktop, then i type in passowrd and it always wrong
[11:34] <EricInBNE> airtonix, yep
[11:34] <iflema> pc-destop: suss out #xubuntu maybe someone with tips 4 low specs.... & remember/type correctly... lol
[11:34] <airtonix> EricInBNE, can you pastebin what you've tried already please
[11:35] <hgalcyfornus> i have problem on my lsaptop i have sound on myphones and speaker. i need only on headphones
[11:35] <pc-destop> iflema, i typed in correctly i am sure of that :D
[11:35] <hgalcyfornus> vt1708s
[11:36] <EricServerBox> airtonix, http://pastebin.com/m41f194db
[11:37] <pj> pc-destop: either you typed it wrong or the username or password is not what you think it is.  Check your caps lock key to see if it is on by accident when you type, check that the case of letters is the same, check that you did not accidentally include a space in the password, either when you entered it originally or now.
[11:37] <EricServerBox> that just gets me a svnrepo with no auth
[11:38] <airtonix> EricInBNE, i assume you've already created the htaccess file ? and the releated htpasswords file
[11:38] <pc-destop> pj, i am sure that the password is correct, because i use it for sudo. if y type in whoami a get pc-desktop
[11:39] <EricServerBox> airtonix, I created an htpasswd file
[11:39] <EricServerBox> airtonix, do i need to create an htaccess file? I never had to do that on fedora
[11:39] <pj> Can anyone help me with this?  I recently upgraded my kernel to 2.6.32-020632rc8-generic in order to get a webcam to work (and it does work with this RC kernel), but now the 3d driver for my ATI graphics chipset is disabled and won't reinstall (when I try to activate it from the hardware drivers window it simply does not change to active), can someone help me to get graphics accelleration back?
[11:40] <airtonix> EricServerBox, http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/howto/auth.html
[11:40] <pj> pc-destop: so you have logged in successfully?  Then why do you say it is always wrong?
[11:40] <rek> hello !!! how can i find the name of my usbflash to mount it?
[11:40] <urkki> Anyone use Megaupload? How do I upload files with it?
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> rek:  plug it in . check 'dmesg' command  at the end..  should mention it..
[11:40] <pc-destop> pj, becaue in the terminal mode (ctrl+alt+f1) i cannot log in
[11:41] <airtonix> EricServerBox, if you don't want to use .htaccess then my next question is which file did that pastebin you gave me come from?
[11:41] <rek> Dr_Willis: did dmesg |grep -i usb but i don't see something like sdb sda disk etc....
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> rek:  it can take a few seconds for it to show up near the end.
[11:41] <EricServerBox> airtonix, /etc/httpd/conf/svn.conf
[11:41] <Emanon> pj deactivate it restart then activate it again (maybe that will work)
[11:41] <airtonix> urkki, deb on getdeb.net that might be of interest to you
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> rek:  or wait a bit then try 'sudo fdisk -l'
[11:41] <EricServerBox> airtonix, /etc/apache2 i mean
[11:41] <pj> Emanon: I'll try the restart and activate, but it is already deactivated.
