[00:00] <Slart> ElNombre: that some programs says something doesn't mean it's actually true =)
[00:00] <hsa2> hello
[00:00] <ElNombre> slart: fair point
[00:00] <Tiders> How come when I burn an AVI file to DVD format using DVD Styler the sound and audio dont line up sometimes when i play it in a DVD player
[00:00] <hsa2> how can i install docky on my ubuntu box?
[00:00] <Tiders> hsa2, sudo aptitude install gnome-do
[00:00] <dath> how can i create a persistent mount -o ro,bind mountpoint?
[00:00] <Slart> ElNombre: I think hdparm is starting to show its age.. I read something about sdparm some while ago.. I think it was supposed to replace hdparm
[00:01] <ElNombre> slart: cheers, I'll take a look into that
[00:01] <hsa2> Tiders, not gnome-do, docky
[00:01] <Tiders> hsa2, Gnome-do is docky
[00:01] <Slart> ElNombre: and I'm not sure if SATA uses something other than DMA or if it's smarter than PATA so there's no need to enable it by hand
[00:01] <Pici> hsa2: docky is a 'theme' for gnome-do
[00:01] <hsa2> Tiders, https://launchpad.net/docky
[00:02] <hsa2> i installed gnome-do and docky on my arch linux ?
[00:02] <Tiders> hsa2, You configure gnome-do to be a dock using a theme
[00:02] <VCoolio> Tiders: yeah I think it was slitted recently
[00:02] <VCoolio> splitted
[00:02] <hsa2> yes it is
[00:02] <Tiders> VCoolio, Not on 9.04
[00:02] <Tiders> hsa2, Which release?
[00:02] <DarkHelmut> ok, spent the last hour trying ffmpeg with no luck... anyone else have any suggestions for converting iTunes m4p files to mp3?
[00:02] <hsa2> i installed docky from bzr
[00:02] <hsa2> i mean, on my arch linux
[00:03] <Tiders> hsa2, Which release of Ubuntu
[00:03] <hsa2> the last one, i have just downloaded
[00:03] <textex> is it hard upgrading the kernel in ubuntu?
[00:03] <hsa2> i don't know my version
[00:03] <Tiders> textex, Best not to
[00:03] <atx> so Docky better than Avant Windows Navigator?
[00:04] <textex> Tiders, why? Cause im trying to get a dvi card working with it, but its some problems with framebuffer that i think is fixed in another kernel
[00:04] <atx> looks better
[00:04] <Tiders> atx, Its all opinion.. I like awn as well
[00:04] <atx> yeah, I guess you need to install it and see for yourself
[00:04] <Slart> textex: any special reason you need to upgrade it?
[00:04] <atx> was wondering about the options though
[00:05] <unop> DarkHelmut, did you install ffmpeg from the main repository or the medibuntu one?
[00:05] <textex> Slart im trying to get a dvi card working with it, but its some problems with framebuffer that i think is fixed in another kernel
[00:05] <Pickbothmanlol> Hello
[00:05] <DarkHelmut> unop both actually
[00:05] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space.
[00:05] <Slart> textex: you can always give lucid lynx a try.. I think it has a newer kernel.. it might be broken for other reasons though
[00:05] <Pickbothmanlol> I had Ubuntu installed using Wubi
[00:05] <DarkHelmut> unop, did a manual install from svn source, no luck
[00:06] <Tiders> Slart, I wouldnt start recomending out an alpha release yet to someoen whos having difficulties
[00:06] <unop> DarkHelmut, so what exactly happens when you attempt to transcode?
[00:06] <textex> Slart; fedora kernel devs are saying that they fixed the issue in 2.6.32. Since you have ubuntu, good luck upgrading.
[00:06] <textex> i got told that yesterday
[00:06] <DarkHelmut> unop, I get a list of erros, shal I paste them to you?
[00:06] <Tiders> textex, Yes "good luck upgrading"
[00:06] <Slart> Tiders: true.. I just meant try it as in "try the live cd".. but I guess I wasn't really clear about how alpha lucid is
[00:06] <unop> DarkHelmut, put them up on a pastebin
[00:06] <Tiders> Slart,  Yes :D
[00:07] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi
[00:07] <textex> Tiders, so im pretty much screwed? Guess its better trying to install fedora instead?
[00:07] <Slart> textex: you read that? don't go upgrading your nuclear reactor controller box to lucid.. it's very alpha.. I only meant for you to try a live cd to see if it works there
[00:07] <DarkHelmut> unop, sorry... I'll do that next time
[00:07] <dath_> back again
[00:07] <dath_> empathy blows
[00:07] <dannek7> how do I change the partition size of my linux install?
[00:07] <DarkHelmut> unop, http://pastebin.com/d1bb1bf4f
[00:08] <Slart> !info linux-image-generic
[00:08] <textex> Slart cause i was told trying to upgrade to a fedora kernel
[00:08] <Tiders> textex, You may want to check the forums onlien and see if anyone had some luck with upgrading it
[00:08] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, I thought you said mp4, m4p is a infected (DRM) itnues file.  You can't
[00:08] <amelius> scott_ino2: what software? VPN link breaks while idle, or seemingly randomly? is there a router involved? if yes, do you connect to it wirelessly?
[00:08] <dath_> how can i create a persistent mountpoint with mount -o ro,bind after boot?
[00:08] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, yeah...  :( m4p
[00:08] <scott_ino2> amelius, umm more randomly... after a few minutes or so, router IS involved and yes wirelessly
[00:09] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, one suggestion I known is to convert them (with itunes) to m4a
[00:09] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, is there a Noteburner or similar software for linux?
[00:09] <scott_ino2> amelius, can't believe you saw that from that long ago haha
[00:09] <Tiders> dath, With fstab
[00:09] <Joerg__> hello
[00:09] <textex> Or any of you got some experience with the intelfd?
[00:09] <aqwq> very big problem the firefox bus error
[00:09] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, you can look on google, there are some suggestions for converting them.
[00:09] <textex> Cause i got a Intel card that wont work with ubuntu
[00:09] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, I may have to plunk down some cash it seems. very upset I have to pay (again) to access my own dam music.  Lesson learned!
[00:10] <Tiders> dath_ sudo nano /etc/fstab you will find all the drives that mount at boot you can set more there
[00:10] <dath_> Tiders, what file system do i need in fstab
[00:10] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, I've tried everything I can google over the last week, no luck
[00:10] <dath_> for mount --bind
[00:10] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, http://www.defectivebydesign.org/ =)
[00:11] <perlsyntax> i got a mc760 usb modem i was thinking is there away i can speed up the downloads and uploads on it?
[00:11] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi
[00:11] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi
[00:11] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space. I installed Ubuntu using Wubi
[00:11] <FloodBot2> Pickbothmanlol: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:11] <amelius> scott_ino2: you should first try to rule out the wireless link as a cause, then the router itself, if at all possible
[00:11] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, I'm a card carrying member now.  ;)
[00:11] <Slart> Pickbothmanlol: nice to see that you're handling yourself with maturity and dignity..
[00:11] <perlsyntax> Is there away i can speed up my download on my mc760 usb modem?
[00:12] <Pickbothmanlol> Considering there is 1300 users in this channel.
[00:12] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, hehe, from what I've read, there isn't much you can do.  DRM sucks in every way, for the consumers anyway.
[00:12] <Pickbothmanlol> XD
[00:12] <VCoolio> dath_: seems this should work: /old/folder  /new/folder  none  bind 0 0
[00:12] <Slart> Pickbothmanlol: so what is the question?
[00:12] <perlsyntax> i hope someone knows.
[00:12] <newser> hello, I have a gps receiver but dont know how to get the data out of it. Anyone knows how can I see in terminal if its working or not?
[00:12] <Pickbothmanlol> I am trying to install Macromedia Flash 8 on WINE but it says I need more free space.
[00:12] <scott_ino2> amelius, k I can do that, however are you saying there are "known" issues with vpn and wireless?? only the vpn connection drops, not my wireless.
[00:12] <Pickbothmanlol> Any solution?
[00:12] <newser> !find gps
[00:13] <textex> running ubuntu i just get: intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration.
[00:13] <Slart> Pickbothmanlol: make some free space?
[00:13] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, yup. My other option is to use Audacity and record the stream as I play the files from iTunes via Wine, however Audacity isn't picking up my output
[00:13] <Solorvox> newser, try typing dmesg after you plug it in, also lsusb will show if it's seen by the kernel. (assuming it usb)
[00:13] <perlsyntax> i got a virgin modile usb mc760 and i want to know if i can speed it up?
[00:13] <perlsyntax> :)
[00:13] <scottj> Isn't there a program for defining raise-or-launch keystrokes for apps?
[00:13] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, the oldest trick is to burn them to CD, then rip the CDs.  There are some windows apps that setup a virtual drive, and then allow you to read it.
[00:13] <perlsyntax> anyone?
[00:13] <dath_> VCoolio, /media/stuff/media/games /home/cgboard/games none bind,ro 0 0 <-- like this?
[00:14] <perlsyntax> ?
[00:14] <perlsyntax> or is there a link i can read?
[00:14] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, yes, none are free, which is ok, but they all seem rather overpriced at $40+
[00:14] <VCoolio> dath_: the examples I found don't mention the ,ro part; try it, else set that on the source disk
[00:14] <tixtix> running ubuntu i just get: "intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration." anyone?
[00:14] <dath_> VCoolio, i need rw on the source disk
[00:14] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to speed up the internet on a mc760???
[00:14] <dath_> coz there are other dirs
[00:15] <amelius> scott_ino2: VPNs (again, what exactly?) and routers can be a tricky combination because the VPN software essentially needs to work around the address translation
[00:15] <dath_> i only want the mounted folder to be ro
[00:15] <perlsyntax> ??
[00:15] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, you could always send apple an invoice for it. :)
[00:15] <VCoolio> dath_: I don't use bind, but doesn't it just copy the permissions of the source folder it refers to? don't know, sorry
[00:15] <tixtix> running ubuntu i just get: "intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration." anyone?
[00:15] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, don't think I have many choices though, I may spend some time just looking for what I want and downloading it again (via less than acceptable means).
[00:15] <scott_ino2> amelius, what info do you need?
[00:15] <newser> Solorvox, yes, its usb but do  you know which app can output tha data?
[00:15] <perlsyntax> hello i got a question
[00:15] <Solorvox> dath, chmod 555 on the ro mount point
[00:16] <dath_> VCoolio, you can combine both options bind and ro when using the mount command
[00:16] <dath_> i tested it
[00:16] <perlsyntax> How can i speed up a mc760 modem on linux?
[00:16] <dath_> VCoolio,  i just wonder if that works in fstab
[00:16] <Solorvox> newser, search for gps in the software center
[00:16] <DarkHelmut> Solorvox, Well, many thanks for your help!
[00:16] <DarkHelmut> unop and to you ass well, thanks
[00:16] <Solorvox> DarkHelmut, good luck
[00:16] <Bragex9> how do I run system-adm-users and groups as root?
[00:17] <Slart> perlsyntax: come on.. there's no need to repeat your question every minute.. repeat once every 15 minutes or so.. not more often than that.. use the time to search the forums or use google
[00:17] <Solorvox> dath_, do that before you mount too, btw.
[00:17] <perlsyntax> i have!
[00:17] <DarkHelmut> newser, Gebabbel is in the repo
[00:17] <dath_> VCoolio, testing the hard way with a reboot now ;)
[00:17] <Slart> perlsyntax: waited 15 minutes before repeating? no you haven't =)
[00:17] <DarkHelmut> !Gebabbel
[00:17] <oorah> is google chrome browser updated with regular updates?
[00:17] <perlsyntax> could you help me slart?
[00:17] <Slart> oorah: if you get it from their nightly repos you get a new one every day..
[00:18] <Slart> perlsyntax: I have no idea what a mc760 modem is.. so no.. if I knew anything about it I would have told you
[00:18] <perlsyntax> slart, i got the modem to work:) but try to load the speeds faster.
[00:18] <perlsyntax> lol it a usb modem
[00:18] <Slart> perlsyntax: I think that goes for most of the active people in here too
[00:18] <tixtix> running ubuntu i just get: "intelfb_restore *error" failed to restore crtc configuration." anyone?
[00:18] <amelius> scott_ino2: tell us what software the VPN runs on, and whether anything improves if you remove first the wireless link, then the entire router from the equation
[00:18] <newser> DarkHelmut, thanks
[00:18] <perlsyntax> this not a ubuntu support room lmao
[00:18] <Solorvox> Could someone please look at this bug, and maybe put it in the right category/assign it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008
[00:19] <VCoolio> dath_: ok, but searching google doesn't give a solution / workaround for fstab for me; good luck
[00:19] <scott_ino2> amelius, i have no idea what software they're using, this is an anonymity service
[00:20] <oorah> Slart, is that the default install?
[00:20] <amelius> scott_ino2: what software are _you_ using?
[00:20] <Slart> Solorvox: looks like a good bug report.. I have no idea if it's in the right category or not though
[00:20] <scott_ino2> amelius, VPN through networkmanager
[00:21] <Slart> oorah: hmm.. I'm not really sure.. I get it from a PPA somewhere..
[00:21] <Solorvox> Slart, it's not in a category, nor assigned. (been about a week)  Wondering if that's why no one as looked at it. :-/
[00:21] <Slart> Solorvox: might be a holiday thing
[00:22] <SaBot> I am considering putting ubuntu on my netbook, can the interface that the netbook-remix comes with be turned off for the regular taskbar?
[00:23] <Slart> SaBot: I think you could do that with the earlier UNR.. I think I remember someone else asking about it before.. I think they removed the function to switch between the normal ui and the special netbook ui
[00:23] <dath_> VCoolio, it works like a charm :D i mounted an ntfs partition in fstab with ntfs-3g and from that partition i mounted a folder with read only to a ftp user home dir. it even works while the user is connected via ftp :] great!
[00:23] <Solorvox> SaBot, yes it can, it's under preferences
[00:24] <Slart> SaBot: but this is all 2nd hand information.. I've never tried unr myself
[00:24] <aprigio> Hi, has anyone installed ubuntu on macbook (apple hardware), because of efficiency have to  disable acpi in grub but there is another solution?
[00:24] <AllHailTheGeek> Quick question: how do I (using emerald) get rid of the shadows around windows?
[00:24] <VCoolio> dath_: cool, something added the last year I think; some threads I read from 2008 mentioned it wasn't possible (yet); congrats
[00:24] <amelius> scott_ino2: if it's a public anonimity service (which one?), perhaps they're simply getting more connections than they can handle; again, the first things to try to rule out as a cause are the wireless link and the router itself
[00:25] <shazbotmcnasty> I'm back, it was the RAM
[00:25] <Solorvox> AllHailTheGeek, don't use emerald, change the settings in compiz, install the cssm and adjust in system/preferences
[00:25] <scott_ino2> amelius, ok let me go test and hook up to a wired connection....
[00:25] <shazbotmcnasty> When I got this computer, one of the RAM clips was gone, and that one wasn't pushed all the way down and came loose
[00:25] <AllHailTheGeek> Solorvox, do reflections work in !emerald?
[00:25] <shazbotmcnasty> Thanks
[00:26] <Solorvox> AllHailTheGeek, no idea, but shadows can be set in the manager
[00:26] <aprigio> has anyone installed ubuntu on macbook? (hardware apple)
[00:26] <Slart> shazbotmcnasty: yay.. so no it works again? all is good?
[00:26] <AllHailTheGeek> Solorvox, actually, reflections don't show in the current window, only in inactive ones.
[00:26] <ScarFreewill> za.archive.ubuntu.com is resolving to <IP_ADDRESS> here
[00:26] <Solorvox> AllHailTheGeek, I don't use emerald, it's a bit buggy for me.
[00:27] <AllHailTheGeek> Solorvox, seems ok for me, just the shadow thing
[00:27] <Solorvox> AllHailTheGeek, well you can either use cssm to change it, or edit the emerald theme
[00:27] <alvareClrnD> hi, does anyone know how to tell the filesystem to avoid/skip readwriting on an specific sector/block?
[00:27] <AllHailTheGeek> k
[00:29] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, what filesystem?
[00:29] <alvareClrnD> ext4
[00:29] <dre360> hi all
[00:30] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD:  take the drive out the machine and throw it away (honestly its a waste of time using failing drives)
[00:30] <Nickname_> hello
[00:30] <alvareClrnD> just say you dont know
[00:30] <alvareClrnD> its new
[00:30] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, I assume the sector is bad, have you run fsck on it?
[00:30] <alvareClrnD> the sector is phisically broken
[00:31] <Slart> alvareClrnD: badblocks?
[00:31] <alvareClrnD> its a new seagete, the ones that come with the "clacking"
[00:31] <dre360> has anyone run powerdevil
[00:31] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD:  then return the drive to where you bought it
[00:31] <alvareClrnD> they only change it for the same drive, but new
[00:32] <alvareClrnD> and they all are a complete piece of shit
[00:32] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD:  you could partition round the problem area
[00:32] <Slart> alvareClrnD: or wait.. badblocks just searches for bad blocks..
[00:32] <IdleOne> !language | alvareClrnD
[00:32] <alvareClrnD> mmhmm, I liked that one
[00:32] <amelius> is clacking a feature these days?
[00:32] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, as a short term, temporary workaround, you could just use dd to fill the sector with zero bit data (pad)
[00:32] <dre360> Powerdevil has anyone used it or know how to start it
[00:32] <alvareClrnD> in seagate hardrives it is
[00:32] <dath_> what happens when you mount --bind a directory 2 times to different targets? and if that works, how can you unmount only a specific folder?
[00:33] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: just trying to access the sector makes the disk freeze
[00:33] <alvareClrnD> for some seconds
[00:33] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD: can't you get a different brand ?
[00:34] <alvareClrnD> blackest_knight1:  I would have to buy it, I dont have the money, I guessed maybe ext4 could just skip that sector
[00:34] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD,dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdz bs=BLOCK_SIZE count=1 seek=BLOCK_NUM
[00:34] <Maletor> Help, I can't start Ubuntu minimal from my USB
[00:34] <Maletor> I just finished building my computer.
[00:34] <scott_ino2> amelius, yeah still dropped.
[00:34] <OxDeadC0de> can anyone tell me how to properly apply this patch and test it? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/348540
[00:34] <alvareClrnD> I did that, maybe the disk was S.M.A.R.T enough to detect a bad sector and internally skip it
[00:35] <OxDeadC0de> well, how to apply it I can test it just fine...
[00:35] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, you might also read 'man badblocks'
[00:35] <matts45acp> anybody here tell me why i have nothing at listed in my device hardware in ubuntu 9.10? but everything but the wirless is working
[00:35] <Maletor> Any ideas?
[00:35] <izua> hmm, my mouse froze
[00:35] <izua> any tips on how to make it work without /etc/init.d/kdm restart ?
[00:35] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox:  no use, already tried that too, the sector is broken physicaly
[00:36] <blackest_knight1> well alvareClrnD take a guess where the error is and make two partitions use the one without the error
[00:36] <kyle6513> hi, i'm attempting to setup an ubuntu server to download torrents, can anyone help me?
[00:36] <amelius> scott_ino2: with a good old wired connection to the router?
[00:36] <alvareClrnD> no need to guess, fdisk is friendly enough, but that would be a mess
[00:36] <Ibw> How does one change the resolution of a virtual console?
[00:36] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, are you trying to save data, or work around a defective drive?
[00:36] <scott_ino2> amelius, yes
[00:36] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, why does it have to be a server?
[00:36] <scott_ino2> amelius, sadly, it was definitely working much more smoothly till it disconnected
[00:36] <alvareClrnD> also I love having one giant partiion to make things easier, I dont screw arround with multiple partitions for /home, /boot and stuff
[00:36] <scott_ino2> or well... faster at least
[00:37] <scott_ino2> amelius, again, the connection itself wasn't dropped, just the connection to the VPN
[00:37] <Maletor> Why isn't my computer booting to the USB?
[00:37] <amelius> scott_ino2: what service exactly? is it feasible to temporarily bypass the router entirely?
[00:37] <Maletor> My BIOS is set up perfectly
[00:37] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: I'm trying to live, but a random day in the week a random program reads a random file thats on a broken sector, and the PC freezes until I kill that job
[00:37] <scott_ino2> amelius, yeah i can bypass, im using itshidden
[00:37] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, it doesnt really, although i wont be around to monitor the computer for a whole month, i would like to be able to monitor it from the internet and if i get tricky enough, have it send my hotmail account an email, which will send an sms to my mobile warning me of certain things.
[00:38] <Ibw> Does anyone know?
[00:38] <matts45acp> anybody here tell me why i have nothing at listed in my device hardware in ubuntu 9.10? but everything but the wirless is working
[00:38] <amelius> scott_ino2: I see your point, but if the wireless happens to be dicey and the VPN happens to use UDP ...
[00:38] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, I know you don't like the advice given, but trust us, replacing the drive is your best option.  Everything else is just a workaround
[00:38] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, so you want it to automatically download torrents while you are away and just store them?  where would you like it to download from?
[00:38] <rbehr> I have a dual boot machine and when I try to login to ubuntu first option 2.6.31-16-generic I get an error message kernel panic-not syncing:vfs unable to mount root fs on unkown-block (8,2). I can login to 2.16.31-14-generic without any issues. Any ideas as why this is happening?
[00:39] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: then I'll workaround, I live in argentina, $150 is a lot of money here
[00:39] <adac> I suddenly  have "inverted" colours on playing videos on vlc, mplayer, dragonplayer, xine. the only player that works fine is totem. what can I do
[00:39] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, if i gave it a torrent while i was away, and for it to download off that torrent, that would be great
[00:39] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: thanks for your time, now I'll proceed to read the filesystem kernel code
[00:39] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, just so you know, it's only going to get worse.
[00:40] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, i would just like it to tell me tempratures and such if i logged into it's ip address with a password as its summer in australia atm and i dont want to risk any fires or whatnot
[00:40] <blackest_knight1> alvareClrnD:  you have a bad hdd and you insist on using it ,  the best you can hope for is to isolate the error in its own partition
[00:40] <DarkHelmut> ahh, you want to login to your machine while you are away and give it a command to grab a torrent?
[00:40] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, usually the coating on the drive gets damaged, and then it gets spread by the heads.
[00:40] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: it's not like a old hardisk that fail naturally
[00:40] <con-man> pkill firefox
[00:40] <scott_ino2> amelius, you want me to try bypassing the router? I'm pretty interested as to the why, if you could share some insight as to issues with vpn..
[00:40] <con-man> mt
[00:40] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, is SSH not good enough for your needs?
[00:40] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  thats easy enough
[00:41] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, or X over ssh?
[00:41] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, again, the best thing I can give you is to mark them as badblocks, or pad the sector with zeros.  Even if it takes forever
[00:41] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: this drives come failing, and seagate denies it and erases threads that discuss this, so it's their fault, but it's still usable, I just have like 5-7 broken sectors
[00:41] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, Secure VNC would also do the trick I suppose
[00:41] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, not exactly, i would give it a few torrents to work on while i was away, i just want to know how well its doing, and if its overheating it should tell me via sms, which i can set up if i tell it to send me a email when the temps are a tad high
[00:41] <Brenden``> if i took gparted and
[00:41] <Brenden``> er
[00:41] <Brenden``> If i took gparted and formated my linux partition to NTFS and merged it with my windows partition would it mess my Windows partition up or anything?
[00:41] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, i dont mind what i use, so long as it works :P
[00:41] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: how would I mark them as badblocks without using "badblock" ?
[00:42] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, I believe you, sometimes you just have to keep fighting with these companies to get it fixed.
[00:42] <dath_> what happens when you mount --bind a directory 2 times to different targets? and if that works, how can you unmount only a specific folder?
[00:42] <Solorvox> alvareClrnD, man badblocks, it talks about not using write (-w) but I think you may want to in this case
[00:42] <adac> Anyone? ;y videos do look like this: http://bildites.lv/images/3vyp3p60agrj0l4efg3n.png
[00:42] <adac> *my
[00:43] <JoeSomebody> if xp pro and ubuntu 9.01 are to be installed on the same system, which is better to install first? xp?
[00:43] <newser> !gpsd
[00:43] <Solorvox> dath_ umount /dest/dir
[00:43] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: yeah I said without using badblocks cause its slow as hell and its a 1TB hardisk
[00:43] <SaBot> JoeSomebody: XP, windows rewrites the master boot record
[00:43] <newser> !find gpsd
[00:43] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, so basically, i need to be able to monitor what it is doing while it downloads AND it should be able to send emails, using whatever client is needed, although this needs to be accessable through scripts
[00:43] <Solorvox> adac, change your hue setting
[00:43] <S0LIDUS> JoeSomebody, You will find XP will get grumpy if it the second choice.
[00:43] <DarkHelmut> kyle6513, do a google (sorry to throw you at google) for torrent scripts
[00:44] <blackest_knight1> Brenden``:  be easier to delete the partition and grow the ntfs  to fill the space
[00:44] <jeremey> Hey, is there anybody who can help me with a wireless networking driver problem?
[00:44] <JoeSomebody> ok thanks guys, merry xmas too
[00:44] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, thats alright
[00:44] <newser> anyone knows how can i display the data being received by a gps receiver in terminal? Can I use gpsd?
[00:44] <amelius> scott_ino2: affirmative; again, VPNs and various forms of connection sharing simply don't always play nice together
[00:44] <blackest_knight1> JoeSomebody: XP or it will wipe your boot sector
[00:44] <scott_ino2> amelius, k will be back soon
[00:45] <alvareClrnD> Solorvox: thanks, bye
[00:45] <jinchengwu> hello everone
[00:45] <adac> Solorvox, yeah well I didn't modifiy them in first place....
[00:45] <blackest_knight1> Solorvox:  he was hard work
[00:45] <kyle6513> darkhelmut, the only previous experience i've had with ubuntu servers was when i was messing around with a program called webmin
[00:45] <stephthegeek> i need a copy of the cursors used in my theme (clearlooks).  where would i find the original image files?
[00:45] <Solorvox> adac, sometimes updates can change that on you.
[00:46] <jinchengwu> anyone who can help me out of ubuntu-goblemenu-applet?
[00:46] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  set up ubuntu desktop install openssh server log in with ssh username@server address -X and run what you want
[00:46] <adac> Solorvox, I see. Well that is quite bad. Where can I change those values back?
[00:46] <SaBot> Has anyone used tiling windows managers? I've been *trying* to use awesome3 but the configuration file is terrible to use, so I'm wondering if fvwm or something else is more sane.
[00:47] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, Ubuntu server is far superior to windows server, definatley worth the trouble learning.
[00:47] <Brenden``> [19:45:23] <blackest_knight1> Brenden``:  be easier to delete the partition and grow the ntfs  to fill the space
[00:47] <Solorvox> adac, Look for your video settings, you should change the hue, or color value
[00:47] <Brenden``> sorry my bnc lagged
[00:47] <lstarnes> S0LIDUS: fvwm isn't tiling
[00:47] <kyle6513> s0lidus, i know that, since its free :D
[00:47] <Brenden``> So just delete it and like use the thing in windows and just merge it?
[00:47] <SaBot> Er, I mean like xmonad or something then
[00:47] <lstarnes> S0LIDUS: oops, that was for SaBot
[00:47] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, yeah i can do that, but the problem is, what do i install?
[00:47] <adac> Solorvox, You mean video settings directly within the player itself?
[00:47] <Solorvox> adac, Look under the video menu, I don't use miro so can't help ya
[00:48] <blackest_knight1> Brenden``:  there is a gparted live cd available you might find it useful
[00:48] <Solorvox> adac, yes
[00:48] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, Yeah plus Unix! ; )
[00:48] <liamo1> I am trying to understand some scripts! One such script has the following line $(RUNF77) $(FFLAGS) -o $*.exe m$*.o $(EXTOBJ) $*.a. now I understand everything except $*.exe, m$*.0 and $*.a. I know what * is for but not $. Any help would be appreciated.
[00:48] <kyle6513> s0lidus, always hated windows, but i was brought up on it so its so hard to jump to linux :<
[00:48] <lstarnes> liamo1: is that from a Makefile?
[00:49] <liamo1> yes lstarnes
[00:49] <jcapinc> those are regular expressions, the $ stands for "begining of string";
[00:49] <lstarnes> liamo1: I'm not entirely sure, but $* might refer to the full arguments of a particular target or something
[00:49] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, I know that feeling. Its a bit like the matrix, you have to be freed! ;p
[00:49] <lstarnes> jcapinc: in a makefile?
[00:49] <matts45acp> can somenone tell me why ubuntu 9.10 doesn't list anything in the hardware manger even though everything works but my wireless
[00:49] <adac> Solorvox, And that is the common solution for an upgrade/update bug?
[00:49] <Solorvox> liamo1, http://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/othertypesv.html
[00:50] <liamo1> but how can that be in m$*.ojcapinc
[00:50] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  well you want a torrent client on the server so qbittorrent is one i like hmm you might have to use remote desktop or vnc to remote to your ubuntu server
[00:50] <Solorvox> adac, it happens sometimes, I wouldn't call it common.
[00:50] <jcapinc> I thought it was a shell script
[00:50] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  i only use windows in vm's
[00:50] <liamo1> Thanks Solorvox
[00:50] <jcapinc> I could be wrong, that is just what it looks like
[00:50] <Solorvox> liamo1, yw
[00:50] <S0LIDUS> blackest_knight1, Or the normal ssh! ;)
[00:50] <lstarnes> jcapinc: in a shell script, $* is the full arguments of the script or the current subroutine
[00:50] <mafia_> hey guys. i used cd desktop and then sudo tar zxfv filename.tar.gz. how do i delete the file from the desktop now. some help please. im a noob
[00:51] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, how about something like webmin? i was able to upload anything to my server from anywhere and i could monitor the hdd usage, although im not too sure the temprature was monitored
[00:51] <atx> rm
[00:51] <jolaren> mafia_; rm
[00:51] <Solorvox> !webmin
[00:51] <jcapinc> lstarnes, based on the context of the question, it did not look like that, it was '$*.exe' which looks to me like a regular expressiion
[00:51] <blackest_knight1> the normal ssh isn't going to be idle from windows and no X
[00:52] <atx> sudo rm [filename]
[00:52] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  the temperature is easy its given under /proc/ something
[00:52] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, ah, i see qbittorrent has a remote server ability
[00:52] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, Webmin is just another wasted process and it screws up your conf files!
[00:52] <kyle6513> S0LIDUS, ah okay, thanks :)
[00:53] <matts45acp> can somenone tell me why ubuntu 9.10 doesn't list anything in the hardware manger even though everything works but my wireless
[00:53] <hiiiiick> i have no sound: http://pastebin.com/m2686852b :: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[00:53] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  its more linux boxes you can ssh in and run the app remotely and display it locally
[00:53] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, Its well worth using the server the way you should!
[00:53] <adac> Solorvox, ok now I found out what to do. I don't like that either but well... So first you do in a terminal "gstreamer-properties" then you select the video tab and choose there "X window system (No Xv)". The you open vlc and go to extras -> preferences -> Video and then you choose "X11-Video-output"
[00:54] <blackest_knight1> i don't know of a cmdline bit torrent client
[00:54] <atx> me neither
[00:54] <m0rph1as> cTorrent?
[00:54] <Solorvox> adac, I wouldn't recommend doing it that way.  XV is much faster the X11 for video
[00:54] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, so should i install the server or the desktop version? this is a pretty old computer that im just throwing together about 5 days before i have to leave =/
[00:55] <adac> Solorvox, I see. Ok
[00:55] <Solorvox> adac, you just needed to change your video settings for the output driver you used in miro
[00:55] <S0LIDUS> blackest_knight1, The bittorrent client can be used in the terminal!
[00:55] <Solorvox> adac, so close miro, change it in vlc/media player/etc, then open it again.  Should be fine after that
[00:55] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  desktop as your not that experienced
[00:55] <m0rph1as> blackest_knight1, have you looked into using cTorrent?
[00:56] <adac> Solorvox, what is miro??
[00:56] <micromachstick> Hi im an ubuntu novie trying to establish a music program to upload cds, listen to music on and be able to sync two ipods with...can anyone help me?
[00:56] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, alright, i want to be able to manage this from any webbrowser on windows as thats what my laptop runs since this laptop is designed to run windows and all attempts with linux fail
[00:56] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  ctorrent seems to be recommended
[00:56] <Solorvox> adac, or whatever the name of your video player is
[00:56] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, would that be managed from the web? or atleast by using a windows prog?
[00:57] <atx> Banshee
[00:57] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  you could use telnet
[00:57] <rstob911> blackest_knight1: there are several just do a search    command line torrent linux
[00:57] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, aslong as it works im fine
[00:57] <adac> Solorvox, Ok i changed it back to automatic on "gstreamer-properties"
[00:57] <mafia_> jolarem  did sudo rm filename. gives me rm: cannot remove `etc': Is a directory
[00:57] <Tiders> How can I play MP3s on Ubuntu.... Im clicking play in Rhytm box but it keeps loading doing nothing
[00:57] <m0rph1as> micromachstick, someone recommends banshee
[00:58] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, is there anything i would be able to use to send an email if anything goes wrong?
[00:58] <danopia> kyle6513, transmission offers a simple webui
[00:58] <obiwan_> [#ubuntu] sudo chmod a+r /var/www and but i get error, no file or directory, what's up? i sure have files there
[00:58] <atx> etc/ looks like it is a directory, not a file
[00:58] <kyle6513> danopia, how simple?
[00:58] <obiwan_> oops
[00:58] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, Save yourself the agro and switch to FLAC!
[00:58] <danopia> you can add torrents, pause torrents, watch them
[00:58] <Tiders> S0LIDUS, Huh?
[00:58] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  your just going to have to get used to command line if your running windows ( or maybe qemu and a linux guest)
[00:58] <danopia> you can't download them; need to set up samba or such to acutally get the downloaded material
[00:59] <obiwan_> hi guys, 1 question a friend of mine is able to make sudo chmod a+r /var/www and works but i get error, no file or directory, what's up? i sure have files there
[00:59] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, FLAC is far better than the outdated MP3!
[00:59] <Tiders> S0LIDUS, Doesnt help me
[00:59] <micromachstick> m0rph1as: I've tried Banshee, Amarok, and Songbird..and the only one that i could get all my stuff done on was songbird. but it kept screwing up my ipod
[00:59] <blackest_knight1> danopia:  or sshfs thats good :)
[01:00] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, No, just some advice for the future. ;)
[01:00] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, i dont really mind if i use the command line, just so long as i can monitor it
[01:00] <Tiders> S0LIDUS, Okay well do you know hwo to get things playing
[01:00] <adac> Solorvox, Upgrding ubuntu seems never a good idea lately...
[01:00] <adac> *Upgrading
[01:00] <m0rph1as> micromachstick, i would try to seperate music management from ipod management for i remember when i had an ipod i used Songbird combined with something else
[01:01] <m0rph1as> micromachstick, mind me asking, is it an old iPod or one of the newer ones?
[01:01] <Solorvox> adac, I hate to have to agree, 9.10 broke my digital tablet.  :-/
[01:01] <blackest_knight1> kyle6513:  i'd set it up as desktop with openssh server and use telnet from your windows box
[01:01] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, I haven't had any probs with rythmbox. Are you using an LTS?
[01:01] <Tiders> S0LIDUS, 9.04
[01:01] <micromachstick> m0rph1as: I have an old nano..but my main ipod is two weeks old a Classic..so brand new yeah
[01:01] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, You could use the watch command!
[01:01] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, alright, how would i go about the emailing dillemma? or should i just try what you've said for now
[01:01] <kyle6513> S0LIDUS, watch command?
[01:02] <blackest_knight1> theres something new for managing music on ipod and linux
[01:02] <S0LIDUS> Tiders, Sorry but I cant help you there...
[01:02] <DaZ> Tiders: run it from  the console and check output
[01:02] <blackest_knight1> stick with what you have for now
[01:02] <micromachstick> M0rph1as, i could get songbird to acknowledge the ipod if i completely wiped it everytime i plugged it in, and then it would even allow me to sync it..but then it would only play the first four seconds of each song over and over
[01:02] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, alright
[01:02] <mafia_> some help please .i have some files on my desktop that i cant delete. they are under root. i used  in terminal: sudo tar zxfv filename.tar.gz
[01:02] <DaZ> Tiders: this usually means there are no plugins for gstreamer installed
[01:02] <_Pb> what programming/console font do you guys use?
[01:02] <adac> Solorvox, I actually hate to say this too :( Well In the future i will do a fresh new install instead of upgrading. It caused too much trouble this time
[01:02] <m0rph1as> yep that sounds familiar micromachstick ...
[01:03] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, watch can be used in the terminal to view program or hardware states. Its very usefull.
[01:03] <m0rph1as> ... hmm
[01:03] <kyle6513> S0LIDUS, and i could do this remotely, yes?
[01:03] <micromachstick> argh! any ideas what kinda programs at all might be better for ipod updates?

[01:03] <S0LIDUS> kyle6513, If you are going to use the noraml SSH, then yes you could...
[01:04] <m0rph1as> Solvorox, it also helped make plug-in-play input devices easier :/

[01:07] <rbehr> What is the difference between <IP_ADDRESS>-generic and <IP_ADDRESS>-generic boot options? I get an error when I login to the <IP_ADDRESS>-generic
[01:07] <Solorvox> adac, well, broke support for it.  It used to work great in 9.04.  9.10 either crashes the system, (X crashes) or just doesn't work at all.
[01:07] <mafia_> i used sabots ways worked thank guys
[01:08] <adac> Solorvox, Ahh ok support broken, I see. Hmm what device do you use If I may ask?
[01:08] <Solorvox> adac, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/498008
[01:09] <rbehr> Solo was this response to my boot issue??
[01:10] <adac> Solorvox, oh I see! I can understand that must very sad not be able to use it anymore :(
[01:11] <adac> Solorvox, So is this a bug obviously or did they completely suspend the support on that tablet?
[01:11] <mafia_> does anyone now a good site with all the ubuntu 9.10 terminal command? will come in handy for me to learn thanks
[01:11] <White_Pelican> newbie to gnome here again, how do i change the gdm theme?
[01:12] <blackest_knight1> Solorvox tried sudo gimp ?
[01:12] <Solorvox> adac, Hard to say, as the tablet worked before with just evdev support (no drivers), but with the new hal setup, not sure how they plan on working on it.
[01:13] <Solorvox> blackest_knight1, read the bug report, I changed mod on the input event, didn't work.
[01:13] <amelius> mafia_: http://google.com/search?q=bash+commands
[01:13] <Sattvic> how to I check the version of Ubuntu installed?
[01:13] <Solorvox> blackest_knight1, they had some large changes to xinput/hal in 9.10

[01:16] <amelius> mafia_: try "cat /etc/lsb-release", actually (had to look it up myself)
[01:16] <ImJJames> lol
[01:16] <shazbotmcnasty> !hello ImJJames
[01:16] <shazbotmcnasty> :[ x2
[01:17] <ImJJames> well i have a problem =)
[01:17] <Solorvox> blackest_knight1, if I re-install anything, it'll be going back to 9.04.  Not much point to install kbuntu just to spend time installing all the gnome versions of things. :)
[01:17] <shazbotmcnasty> which is
[01:17] <shazbotmcnasty> ?
[01:17] <ImJJames> my new years resolution
[01:17] <Bamboozle> very well, my touchpad has a scroll bar next to it, if I enable edge scrolling it works, but so does scrolling at the edge of the touchpad
[01:17] <ImJJames> is to go pure linux
[01:17] <ImJJames> nomore windows =)
[01:17] <shazbotmcnasty> good
[01:17] <Thor^^> that's nice, I guess ImJJames :)
[01:17] <anonymous_3> ummm I have adobe flash...is there more I need?
[01:17] <shazbotmcnasty> what's the problem?
[01:17] <micromachstick> blackest_knight1: thanks for the link..it's definitely informative  on the subject but doesnt really solve my problem
[01:17] <Sattvic> how can I change my screen resolution?
[01:17] <Bamboozle> if I disable edge scrolling my scroll bar doesnt work, but I can use my entire mouse pad
[01:17] <Thor^^> sadly I can't make that promise :/
[01:17] <Solorvox> Sattvic, system/preferences/display
[01:18] <ImJJames> so i installed xubuntu 9.10 on a old armada e500 with no problems everyhting works good and looks good
[01:18] <shazbotmcnasty> Sattvic System>preferences>display
[01:18] <Bamboozle> is there a setting where my scrollbar will work, and I can use my entire mousepad
[01:18] <shazbotmcnasty> ahh
[01:18] <blackest_knight1> Solorvox:  its what live cd's are for
[01:18] <mafia_> amelus in terminal?
[01:18] <Sattvic> Solorvox: thanks
[01:18] <SaBot> Okay, I have the latest ubuntu netbook remix running, and I see nothing in preferences letting me switch to classic mode
[01:18] <Solorvox> blackest_knight1, I know it works in 9.04, no need to test it.
[01:18] <ImJJames> so I installed xbuntu 9.10 on my other laptop and screen flickers what can be causing that
[01:19] <kyle6513> ImJJames, how do you mean flickers?
[01:19] <blackest_knight1> Solorvox:  how about run virtualbox install 9.04 and pass the tablet to the guest :)
[01:19] <Solorvox> ImJJames, refresh rate set correctly?
[01:19] <ImJJames> it flickers mostly when I click on the mouse
[01:19] <amelius> mafia_: that was intended for Sattvic, sorry
[01:19] <kyle6513> ImJJames, check the connections of the monitor and the power cable? :P
[01:19] <ImJJames> its weird because i installed wine and played a video game counter-strike and screen does not flicker while in game
[01:19] <shazbotmcnasty> ImJJames, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=579565&highlight=screen+flicker
[01:19] <mafia_> k
[01:19] <ImJJames> and when I exit than screen flickers again
[01:19] <kyle6513> ImJJames, is the screen resolution/refresh rate right?
[01:19] <ImJJames> yes
[01:19] <ImJJames> -(
[01:20] <kyle6513> see shazbots'
[01:20] <kyle6513> link
[01:20] <tekk__> hey guys, i'm trying to get ubuntu 9.10 onto my powermac g5 using the powerpc iso image... the alternate installer seems to work (not fully tested) but the graphical installer (what i need as its a live cd) isn't wroking, the screen simply displays a distorted ubuntu logo and then goes back to console and flickers a lot...
[01:20] <Solorvox> ImJJames, games often run at different resolutions and refresh rates then the desktop
[01:20] <ImJJames> when I go down resolution it does not flicker
[01:21] <phant0m> could someone pls help me with this sound issue
[01:21] <ImJJames> but I know its not the right resolution bcuz fonts and pics are distorted but flickers stop
[01:21] <airwalker> hi all
[01:21] <blakkheim> tekk__: why do you need a graphical install?
[01:21] <kyle6513> ImJJames, then it should be your refresh rate thats causing the problem, or, the resolution isnt correct, what is the resolution set up in counter-strike?
[01:21] <tekk__> i need a live cd to test something before i install
[01:21] <ImJJames> 640 x 480
[01:21] <ImJJames> 16bit
[01:21] <tekk__> the alternate installer doesn't offer "live-cd" functionality
[01:21] <ImJJames> software mode
[01:21] <anonymous_3> Ummm do I need a Graphics chip driver to run web games?
[01:21] <ImJJames> opengl to laggy
[01:21] <blakkheim> tekk__: test what?
[01:21] <kyle6513> ImJJames, try setting the desktop resolution in counterstrike and see if it flickers then
[01:22] <ImJJames> it doesnt
[01:22] <phant0m> yes anonymouse
[01:22] <airwalker> if I close my lid my usb hd disconnects I use encryption
[01:22] <tekk__> zfs deduplication on fuse on a PPC machine
[01:22] <tekk__> :)
[01:22] <ImJJames> anything 800 x 600 and below
[01:22] <obiwan_> hi please, why when i do sudo chmod a+x /var/www/* i get error no file or directory? if i set /var/www with 777 permissions it lets me, it's like chmod needs permissions in www to modify its file permissions, but that's WHY i use sudo with chmod, it should let me whatever the www permissions are
[01:22] <ImJJames> it does not flicker
[01:22] <kyle6513> ImJJames, then it's the refresh rate
[01:22] <kyle6513> !refreshrate
[01:22] <ImJJames> well it only gives me one option
[01:22] <ImJJames> 60mhz
[01:22] <ImJJames> on all settings
[01:22] <kyle6513> ImJJames, hmmm that is strange :S
[01:22] <mime> hi, does anyone know how to let windows open in afterstep once rebooted?
[01:22] <ImJJames> :/
[01:22] <jollyroger_> hey guys, i am having a big problem with libxul-dev: on install i get: The following packages are BROKEN:  xulrunner-1.9.1
[01:22] <jollyroger_> http://pastie.org/753921
[01:22] <Sattvic> how can I check to see if I have 9.04 or 9.10 installed?
[01:23] <mime> thnx

[01:23] <jollyroger_> i tried reinstalling it - no luck
[01:23] <ImJJames> mb*
[01:23] <^Ocean^> Do i need todo anything fancy to use /etc/rc.local ?  The command i put in there do not seem to be running.
[01:23] <Solorvox> ImJJames, see if your display supports other modes: xrandr -q
[01:23] <bastidrazor> Sattvic: lsb_release -a
[01:23] <Sattvic> thanks
[01:23] <kyle6513> ImJJames, you might want to ask someone else as im not a guru here, just waiting for my install to finish :P
[01:23] <Guest66206> I keep getting hash sum mismatch errors when installing things, what cuases this?
[01:23] <Guest66206> *causes
[01:23] <bastidrazor> ^Ocean^: you need to put the entire path to your command.. for example /home/ocean/command
[01:24] <Solorvox> Guest66206, check your memory (memtest)
[01:24] <ImJJames> modes: xrandr -q
[01:24] <ImJJames> No command 'modes:' found, did you mean:
[01:24] <preecher> when i try to drag a file from documents to desktop it wont do it and when i try to copy and paste it it dont let me--what i need to do
[01:24] <blackest_knight1> jollyroger_:  tend to have to remove conflicting packages then change the order of reinstalling them
[01:24] <blakkheim> preecher: any errors?
[01:24] <Guest66206> how do I check my memory?
[01:24] <^Ocean^> bastidrazor: Well right now my command is Echo "Test" >> /var/Boottest
[01:24] <preecher> blakkheim,  no
[01:24] <anonymous_3> ummm hey?
[01:24] <Guest66206> just "memtest" in the terminal?
[01:24] <blakkheim> ^Ocean^: echo, not Echo
[01:24] <Solorvox> Guest66206, when you boot the livecd, select the memtest option
[01:24] <bastidrazor> ^Ocean^: you need to have the full path to echo
[01:24] <blakkheim> preecher: try doing it from the commandline
[01:24] <ImJJames> read forum link that u gave me brb
[01:24] <ImJJames> reading*
[01:25] <^Ocean^> bastidrazor hmm let me give it a shot
[01:25] <preecher> blakkheim, i dont kno how
[01:25] <Guest66206> So I have to boot from my installation cd to run a memory test? Will that work from a USB as well?
[01:25] <tekk__> i think thep roblem may lay in the fact that this is a quad cpu system and has a specialist CAD graphics card.... not your average
[01:25] <Solorvox> ImJJames, what kind of video card do you have?
[01:25] <blakkheim> preecher: open terminal, cd to the directory of the file and cp it to ~/Desktop
[01:25] <preecher> im tryn install some hp drivers for ubuntu and i have the command for if its on my desktop

[01:28] <Sattvic> blakkheim: then what should I do?
[01:28] <airwalker> tnx ubottu

[01:28] <daves111> help anyone: installed 9.10, now can only use failsafe gnome or it freezes after desktop opens
[01:28] <Sattvic> blakkheim: where do I find it?
[01:28] <kyle6513> solorvox, but after that, if it shuts down and starts back up, will it do that again once it gets to that time again without any further input?
[01:28] <blackest_knight1> jollyroger_: that  could get interesting try aptitude install see if it figures a good compromise
[01:28] <blakkheim> Sattvic: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[01:28] <Sattvic> blakkheim: thanks
[01:29] <preecher> blakkheim, the command i have is ~/Desktop$ sh hplip-3.9.12.run    can i just type in documents instead of desktop and it work
[01:29] <Solorvox> kyle6513, no, that will only shut down if it's 10:00 (2200)  There is no way to keep it shut down if someone turns it back on after 2200
[01:29] <kyle6513> solorvox, how about the next day at 2200?
[01:29] <matts45acp> can somenone tell me why ubuntu 9.10 doesn't list anything in the hardware manger even though everything works but my wireless
[01:29] <daves111> please anyone: installed 9.10, now can only use failsafe gnome or it freezes after desktop opens
[01:29] <Solorvox> kyle6513, yes, every day, that command will shut down the computer at 2200
[01:30] <kyle6513> Solorvox, sweet, thats what i wanted, thanks!
[01:30] <airwalker> help if I close my lid my usb hd disconnects I use encryption
[01:30] <blakkheim> airwalker: stop repeating the same thing
[01:30] <unity24> hi there!anyone have any idea how to clear mbr?a rootkit infected my laptop
[01:30] <Solorvox> kyle6513, so if you setup the bios to turn on at say, 0600, then it will run from 0600 until 2200.
[01:30] <kyle6513> airwalker, does the laptop go into standby when you close the lid?
[01:30] <ImJJames> how can I change refesh rate manually through terminal?
[01:30] <roosh> When I try to run 9.10 on the live cd, I get the message: video mode not supported. What should I do?
[01:30] <kyle6513> Solorvox, yep thats what i plan on doing ^-^
[01:31] <blackest_knight1> airwalker:  its suspending due to the event  find out why
[01:31] <Screwy> Anyone here willing to help with troubleshooting connecting to my wired network?
[01:31] <Guest83757> quick question, when I try to burn a cd from mp3 files in brasero, it says (filename).mp3 is not suitable for audio or video media, I think I have to install a mp3 code...which one is it?
[01:31] <kyle6513> screwy, type ifconfig in a terminal
[01:31] <Screwy> I did
[01:31] <kyle6513> Screwy, whats the output? pastebin it.
[01:31] <airwalker> @kyle no it's supposed to just lock the screen
[01:32] <kyle6513> airwalker, does it do this
[01:33] <airwalker> @kyle dunno
[01:33] <daves111> no one has any ideas on why my new install 9.10 freezes on gnome but not failsafe gnome?????
[01:33] <airwalker> @kyle it seems to just umount the drive
[01:33] <Screwy> I'm currently connected to my desktop through my wired connection. Would I need to disconnect and plug into my laptop (running Ubuntu) to get the right information on ifconfig?
[01:33] <kyle6513> airwalker, would be helpful if you could find that out, upon opening the lid to your laptop do you have to press a key or does the screen immediately come back?
[01:34] <LinUX> Can anyone help with this please?  Could not open location 'file:///home/xxx    No application is registered as handling this file
[01:34] <shazbotmcnasty> because failsafe is failsafe, it will not fail, and gnome is not
[01:34] <Screwy> It seems my Ethernet reads the PC Link, but it's not connecting automatically on Ubuntu.
[01:34] <Solorvox> daves111, could be video driver (ATI?)  or ACPI problem
[01:34] <kyle6513> Screwy, yes, if your laptop is the malfunctioning computer
[01:34] <shazbotmcnasty> LinUX, what are you trying to open?
[01:34] <daves111> shazbotmcnasty any ideas why?
[01:34] <shazbotmcnasty> I'm sorry, I really have no idea.
[01:34] <shazbotmcnasty> How old is the install?
[01:34] <daves111> ok, thanks anyway
[01:34] <kyle6513> Screwy, atm i'm just trying to figure out if its your ip configs being messed up
[01:34] <airwalker> @kyle the screen's there immediately
[01:34] <daves111> just did it again
[01:35] <shazbotmcnasty> did you mess with ~/.profiles ?
[01:35] <scott_ino2> amelius, well... my network didn't like all that fiddling :)
[01:35] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, when I try to open foders under "Places" on the panel I get that error?
[01:35] <kyle6513> airwalker, doesnt seem to be going into standby
[01:35] <daves111> it worked with previous version
[01:35] <daves111> no, don't think so
[01:35] <Screwy> Shouldn't the wired connection connect automatically when connected to the Ethernet?
[01:35] <preecher> any one know the command for moving a file from documents to desktop
[01:35] <kyle6513> airwalker, when you go back into ubuntu is the hdd unmounted?
[01:35] <shazbotmcnasty> Do you have your video card drivers installed?
[01:35] <scott_ino2> preecher type "man mv"
[01:35] <shazbotmcnasty> @daves111
[01:36] <shazbotmcnasty> @ daves111
[01:36] <scott_ino2> in terminal
[01:36] <kyle6513> Screwy, yeah it should, what are you attempting to connect your laptop to?
[01:36] <vr_mex> is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar?
[01:36] <airwalker> @kyle no just the usb hd
[01:36] <daves111> yes, I think so; it will open to desktop then shorty will freeze
[01:36] <ImJJames> ok so weird I just f11 firefox
[01:36] <ImJJames> for fullscreen mode
[01:36] <ImJJames> and flicker stops
[01:36] <ImJJames> ...
[01:36] <Screwy> Just my wired ethernet connection that I'm currently connected to. My desktop has no trouble connecting.
[01:36] <kyle6513> airwalker, thats what i was talking about, is the usb hdd unmounted
[01:37] <ImJJames> nevermind
[01:37] <ImJJames> lol
[01:37] <ImJJames> its back
[01:37] <airwalker> kyle, yes
[01:37] <kyle6513> Screwy, does this wired ethernet connection head to a router or?
[01:37] <shazbotmcnasty> ImJJames, you have the appropriate video card drivers installed right?
[01:37] <daves111> shazbotmcnasty ...  yes, I think so; it will open to desktop then shorty will freeze
[01:37] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, Any Ideas?
[01:37] <kyle6513> airwalker, seems that it's recieving a signal to be unmounted, do you have a sort of usb key?
[01:37] <Screwy> Yes
[01:37] <amelius> scott_ino2: your ISP blocking everything but the router?
[01:37] <ImJJames> i think so
[01:37] <ImJJames> how can I tell
[01:37] <ImJJames> lol
[01:38] <shazbotmcnasty> LinUX, actually, let me google it - is what you put in here, the exact error message?
[01:38] <airwalker> kyle, no
[01:38] <kyle6513> Screwy, yes, i'm attempting to find out if the router is assigning your laptop a proper ip address
[01:38] <ImJJames> ok what weirder is when I run fluxbox session
[01:38] <shazbotmcnasty> You should msg me the exact error message, but I have to be right back, because one of the dogs shit in the house
[01:38] <ImJJames> no flicker
[01:38] <ImJJames> until I open firefos
[01:38] <shazbotmcnasty> sorry for the language
[01:38] <scott_ino2> amelius, i don't think so.... think it just didnt like how it had to keep resolving ips...
[01:38] <ImJJames> firefox than flicker starts again
[01:38] <LadyLynn> I used to dual boot with Vista, but I just formatted that partition, how do I increase the size of the ubuntu partition, so that my hard drive only has one?
[01:39] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, Yes it is, and ive been "googling" for 3 days without success :(
[01:39] <kyle6513> airwalker, any usb devices that can be mounted with files on it? such as an mp3 player?
[01:39] <airwalker> kyle, what are you aiming at?
[01:39] <ImJJames> how can i set refresh rate manually
[01:39] <shazbotmcnasty> LadyLynn, sudo gparted
[01:39] <shazbotmcnasty> well actually, you should do that live.
[01:39] <shazbotmcnasty> Do you have a USB stick?
[01:39] <shazbotmcnasty> @ LadyLynn
[01:39] <airwalker> kyle yes offcourse
[01:39] <kyle6513> airwalker, seeing if it is just that specific drive that decides to disconnect, if it does, it could be something to do with the encryption
[01:39] <LadyLynn> shazbot, I don't have the option to resize the partition
[01:39] <blackest_knight1> LadyLynn:  hi with gparted
[01:40] <shazbotmcnasty> you have to delete the second partition, then resize the existing partition over the unallocated part of the HDD
[01:41] <amelius> scott_ino2: if it's not feasible to temporarily go around the router, have someone fiddle with its settings: some of them have various helper functions for VPN stuff, not all of which are equally helpful ;)
[01:41] <blackest_knight1> LadyLynn:  trouble is your using the partition you want to resize so get gparted live cd boot it and resize
[01:41] <Screwy> I use a rca thomson dcm425.
[01:41] <shazbotmcnasty> but you want to do that live, because you have to unmount the drive to do so, you can't run gparted on an unmounted hgdd partition
[01:41] <shazbotmcnasty> all @ LadyLynn
[01:41] <Screwy> cable modem.
[01:41] <scott_ino2> amelius, yeah I'm looking into that now, got the dd-wrt guys assisting me
[01:42] <LadyLynn> easier to just have two partitions?
[01:42] <kyle6513> Screwy, yes, but in order to grab information off the router the laptop needs to ask the router for its ip address, unless you are using static ip's?
[01:42] <nameo0> i need help expanding my ubunutu partition
[01:42] <nameo0> can someone please help me?
[01:42] <vr_mex> is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar?
[01:42] <scott_ino2> amelius, im still not convinced it's not my ISP though :)
[01:42] <Screwy> The router is the cable modem, right? Or not?
[01:42] <Screwy> New to all of this.
[01:42] <blackest_knight1> LadyLynn: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[01:43] <kyle6513> Screwy, uh sorry used the wrong word :P but yes i was talking about the cable modem
[01:43] <amelius> scott_ino2: or the VPN service
[01:43] <jubaitca> hi
[01:43] <Screwy> Okay. Can I get the ip adress while on my desktop?
[01:43] <kyle6513> Screwy, pretty sure you can, are you running linux or windows?
[01:43] <nameo0> who knows how to expand ubuntu's partition?
[01:43] <Screwy> Windows
[01:44] <scott_ino2> amelius, true, however I tried them a few months ago without issue...
[01:44] <blackest_knight1> nameo0: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[01:44] <scott_ino2> but that was on intrepid
[01:44] <kyle6513> Screwy, okay do you know how to grab that info?
[01:44] <Screwy> Nope
[01:44] <kyle6513> Screwy, alright, go to start > run and in there type cmd
[01:45] <kyle6513> Screwy, when a black window pops up do ipconfig then go to pastebin and paste the results and send me the link
[01:46] <jubaitca> i have a question...i am trying to dual/triple boot with windows 7 & xp and ubuntu...i tried following the intructions in the forum but I get stuck at one point...after the boot loader is eaten up by installing windows 7 I try to boot ubunutu back with the cd but it boots to the live version and not the one installed in the hard drive and thus when try to "find /boot/grub/stage1" in grub it error
[01:46] <kyle6513> blackest_knight1, alright i have an ubuntu desktop freshly installed, what do i do now?

[01:48] <kyle6513> Screwy, alright now jump to your laptop and in a terminal window do ifconfig, then throw it in a text file, transfer it to your desktop and see if the information of these two things match
[01:48] <ImJJames> n System > Preferences > Appearance, set Visual Effects to 'none
[01:48] <ImJJames> this option is not on xubuntu 9.10
[01:48] <ImJJames> where is it
[01:48] <kyle6513> Screwy, make sure you start the laptop with the ethernet cable in though!
[01:48] <scott_ino2> agreed, it's possible
[01:49] <jubaitca> any thoughts?

[01:51] <DaZ> i don't know what's hard in it [;
[01:51] <jolaren> error 17 is grub error, right?
[01:51] <DaZ> jolaren: it is
[01:51] <jubaitca> daz : how would you mount it?
[01:51] <blakkheim> eaglestar: mount /dev/sdX /mnt ; chroot /mnt
[01:51] <eaglestar> Daz how do i do that
[01:52] <ImJJames> wow this is frustrating
[01:52] <kyle6513> ImJJames, thats linux :P
[01:53] <jolaren> DaZ: I will try to reinstall xbmc once again. If that doesn't work, what's the next step? Manual configuration of grub?
[01:53] <ImJJames> cant find the option to set my Visual Effects...
[01:53] <jubaitca> any help?
[01:53] <Sattvic> blakkheim: even after the driver install for the nvidia video driver, I cannot change the monitor settings to be smaller - my icons are huge - 640 x
[01:53] <eaglestar> the disk is mounted already how do i access the protected files blakkheim
[01:53] <scott_ino2> jolaren, are you trying to use a stable build or a more recent one
[01:53] <kyle6513> ImJJames, right click on the desktop, change desktop background and in the visual effects tab change it to none, atleast i think thats what that guide is telling you
[01:53] <DaZ> jolaren: i don't know what xmbc has to broken grub
[01:53] <L23> Hi
[01:54] <jolaren> scott_ino2; The newest rc1, the stable version will not boot for whatever reason
[01:54] <DaZ> jolaren: are you using grub or grub2?
[01:54] <L23> Can I get some help with my audio via HDMI?
[01:54] <scott_ino2> jolaren, what hardware are you using for this?
[01:54] <kyle6513> my network card isnt detected in ubuntu although the lights are on, any help?
[01:54] <ImJJames> Visual Effects Tab is nto there
[01:54] <DaZ> jolaren: because grub does not see /boot ext4 without patches
[01:54] <ImJJames> only backround Menus Icons
[01:55] <jolaren> DaZ: Grub 1.5
[01:55] <jubaitca> i am trying to dual/triple boot with windows 7 & xp and ubuntu...i tried following the intructions in the forum but I get stuck at one point...after the boot loader is eaten up by installing windows 7 I try to boot ubunutu back with the cd but it boots to the live version and not the one installed in the hard drive and thus when try to "find /boot/grub/stage1" in grub i get error saying file not found
[01:55] <DaZ> s/boot/boot on/
[01:55] <scott_ino2> jolaren, if it's new it's possible it just doesn't like your hardware

[01:55] <brodeurpc> battery died on my laptop and now my Ubuntu 9.10 wont load??
[01:55] <Screwy> This is what the terminal showed on my laptop: http://pastebin.com/d280c3fa9
[01:55] <jolaren> Should be no problems with my hardware really
[01:55] <scott_ino2> L23, nvidia or ATI??
[01:55] <jolaren> nvidia
[01:55] <Screwy> It isn't the same as what my dektop shows when I'm connected to my wired network.
[01:55] <ImJJames> brodeurpc wat error do u get
[01:55] <DaZ> jolaren: there is no grub 1.5 [;
[01:55] <brodeurpc> comes up to a black screen with the Ubuntu logo and says One or more of the mounts listed cannot yet be mounted
[01:56] <Screwy> Hope you can continue helping, kyle6513.

[01:56] <vr_mex> is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar?
[01:56] <kyle6513> Screwy, thats the problem then, its not finding the correct ip's and information
[01:56] <jolaren> DaZ: Could have sworn it said grub 1.5 while loading. But I dont know now when you said that
[01:56] <eaglestar> how do i chroot a mounted hard drive please help
[01:56] <vr_mex> is there a way to add a delete icon to nautilus in the nautilus tool bar?
[01:56] <Sattvic> I cannot seem to make my screen resolution smaller even after the nvidia driver download
[01:56] <blakkheim> eaglestar: mount /dev/sdX /mnt ; chroot /mnt
[01:56] <brodeurpc> ImJJames, One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/stab cannot yet be mounted
[01:56] <scott_ino2> jolaren, let me see what i used i have an ION based board as well....
[01:56] <Screwy> Ah, how can I fix this?
[01:56] <Sattvic> blakkheim: once I download the nvidia driver, do I have to install it?
[01:56] <ImJJames> huh?
[01:57] <blakkheim> Sattvic: is that not an obvious answer?
[01:57] <Random832> note that /mnt needs to have a valid shell in $SHELL or you need to do /bin/sh or whatever (path is relative to the chroot)
[01:57] <ImJJames> oh
[01:57] <scott_ino2> jolaren, one sec
[01:57] <DaZ> jolaren: what filesystem?
[01:57] <defrysk> vr_mex, there is a way to delete : shift-delete
[01:57] <kyle6513> Screwy, although, it doesnt seem to be giving any ip information at all
[01:57] <eaglestar> blakkheim:  the disc is already mounted
[01:57] <jolaren> DAZ: ext4
[01:57] <scott_ino2> L23, im used to ATI, sorry
[01:57] <Sattvic> blakkheim: I was under the hardware driver manager - how to I install?
[01:57] <jubaitca> anyone please?
[01:57] <Screwy> That's what came up while I was connected to the cable modem.
[01:57] <blakkheim> eaglestar: then chroot to it. what's the problem? i told you how to already.
[01:57] <L23> scott_ino2 thanks anyway
[01:57] <brodeurpc> ImJJames, also says Press ESC to enter a recovery shell
[01:57] <blakkheim> Sattvic: read the binary driver howto page
[01:57] <kyle6513> Screwy, so if you can connect to it, whats the problem? :P
[01:57] <defrysk> vr_mex, also in the settings of nautilus you can add a delete option
[01:58] <jolaren> scott_ino, DaZ; I will try to install the stable version from a cd instead of various usb sticks
[01:58] <Screwy> I wasn't connected. I was only plugged into it.
[01:58] <DaZ> jolaren: 17 means unknown filesystem so it's either because of ext with grub1 or wrong partition [;
[01:58] <Screwy> And the modem shows a PC Link.
[01:58] <ImJJames> broderurpc cant help  u bro
[01:58] <ImJJames> :/
[01:58] <jolaren> DaZ; I'm looking in gparted now, it's def ext4
[01:58] <scott_ino2> jolaren, give that a go and i'll be here
[01:58] <digitalaxis> hey guys, how do i navigate to the "C" drive created by wine?
[01:58] <LinUX> Can anyone help with this error please? Could not open location 'file:///home/fred' No application is registered as handling this file
[01:59] <vr_mex> defrysk: thanks but is there a way to put a delete icon on the tools that when a file is selected and then the icon is clicked it will delete the selected file?
[01:59] <scott_ino2> jolaren, but like i said i just did an install on an asus machine i bought and it has ION and they have ion specific versions of xbmc
[01:59] <hikenboot> mode=0777 results in a samba share where the root folder time stamps cant be changed what permissions do i use to allow this change
[01:59] <blakkheim> digitalaxis: cd .wine/drive_c
[01:59] <brodeurpc> battery died on my laptop and now my Ubuntu 9.10 wont load??
[01:59] <DaZ> jolaren: what did you actually do? because xbmc is in debfiles and can't break grub this way [;
[01:59] <kyle6513> Screwy, what comes up in the top bar where the internet connection is?
[01:59] <DaZ> brodeurpc: it won't i suggest recharging.
[01:59] <Random832> digitalaxis, wine cmd, then c:
[01:59] <defrysk> vr_mex, only the 2 options I gave afaIk
[01:59] <Screwy> You mean the network manager?
[01:59] <brodeurpc> comes up to a black screen with the Ubuntu logo and says One or more of the mounts listed cannot yet be mounted
[01:59] <vr_mex> defrysk: ok thanks a lot
[01:59] <Random832> or rather wine cmd /k c:
[02:00] <jolaren> scott_ino2; they do? where? ;o
[02:00] <defrysk> vr_mex, otherwise try gnome-commander, a 2pane filemanager which includes a del button
[02:00] <scott_ino2> jolaren, let me find it
[02:00] <jolaren> DaZ; I've been fumbling around. I'm installing xbmc to a external harddrive
[02:00] <kyle6513> Screwy, yes that
[02:00] <brodeurpc> DaZ, i left it running on the battery and got distracted doing something else
[02:00] <scott_ino2> jolaren, i don't know if it's specific, just know the guide I followed told me to get a certain one that had the ION drivers in it.....
[02:00] <Screwy> Under my wired connections, I get Auto eth0 and Auto Ethernet.
[02:00] <scott_ino2> jolaren, let me find it
[02:01] <jolaren> scott_ino2; oh, nvm. that I know of, your talkin about the nvidia drivers whom are needed
[02:01] <jeremey> how do i stop showing people who have left and entered the room?
[02:01] <blakkheim> jeremey: what irc client?
[02:01] <jolaren> jeremey; depends on your irc client
[02:01] <jeremey> pidgen
[02:01] <brodeurpc> DaZ, comes up to a black screen with the Ubuntu logo and says One or more of the mounts listed cannot yet be mounted
[02:01] <scott_ino2> jolaren, wasn't sure if it was configured a certain way, or any other mods to kernel or something
[02:01] <ImJJames> ok whats the command to check what mode your video adapter is running
[02:01] <ImJJames> for example
[02:01] <ImJJames> direct rendering: Yes
[02:01] <ImJJames> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 845G GEM 20090712 2009Q2 RC3 x86/MMX/SSE2
[02:01] <ImJJames> how do i get that
[02:02] <jolaren> scott_ino2, DzA; My last cd-r ! Hoping this will work, haha.
[02:02] <shazbotmcnasty> LinUX, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=944225
[02:02] <scott_ino2> jolaren, or you have another hot chocolate coaster ;)
[02:02] <kyle6513> Screwy, on your laptop while the ethernet is plugged in, in a terminal type "sudo dhclient eth0" and if you still arent connected to the internet try the same command but instead of eth0 try eth1
[02:03] <eaglestar> should i unmount the volume firsrst blakkheim
[02:03] <Screwy> Okay, I will try it.
[02:03] <blakkheim> eaglestar: it needs to be mounted for you to chroot it
[02:03] <kyle6513> Screwy, Good luck!
[02:03] <darrend> ImJJames: glxinfo
[02:03] <Screwy> Thanks for all your help.
[02:03] <Screwy> Hope it works.
[02:03] <kyle6513> Screwy, all right, me too :)
[02:03] <eaglestar> yeah i clicked on it in the gui nautilus that is why i asked
[02:03] <jolaren> scott_ino2, DzA; my external hdd is partioned this way (10gb - ext4) then 1 linux swap on 10 gig then rest is like 480 ntfs
[02:04] <scott_ino2> jolaren, is your xbmc installed on external? or what's your setup
[02:04] <kyle6513> my ethernet card is not detected, anyone who can help me?
[02:04] <jolaren> scott_ino2; yer
[02:04] <brodeurpc> battery died on my laptop and now my Ubuntu 9.10 wont load??
[02:04] <jolaren> scott_ino2; or well, kinda. Doesn't boot.
[02:04] <jeremey> ok then, what is a better irc client for ubuntu besides pidgin, i don't care who has joined or left a room
[02:04] <blakkheim> !repeat > brodeurpc
[02:04] <ImJJames> my glxinfo is not installed
[02:04] <blakkheim> jeremey: irssi
[02:04] <jolaren> jeremey; I use xchat, that's the best client I know of.
[02:05] <ImJJames> installing meta util
[02:05] <ImJJames> holdodn
[02:05] <jolaren> jeremey; but hey, it's all free to try it out. I really dislike irssi
[02:05] <shazbotmcnasty> jeremey, I think you should use xchat
[02:05] <ImJJames> there u og
[02:05] <ImJJames> go*
[02:05] <scott_ino2> jolaren, be back in a bit, let me konw how it goes
[02:05] <shazbotmcnasty> irssi is in terminal, and a bit harder to use
[02:05] <jeremey> ive used xchat on windows, thanks jolaren, thanks blakkheim, ill chek that out.     brb
[02:05] <shazbotmcnasty> pidgin is terrible, but xchat is all around good in my opinion
[02:05] <jolaren> jeremey; there's also a client called konversation that's quite nice
[02:05] <shazbotmcnasty> jeremey, to get it 'sudo apt-get install xchat' to get it
[02:06] <DaZ> jolaren: and pointless if someone isn't using kde
[02:06] <shazbotmcnasty> or in 9.10 you have to go into synaptic and make universe repos usable
[02:06] <jolaren> DaZ; Oh, it's kde. Long time no use
[02:06] <blakkheim> jolaren: does the "k" not give it away?
[02:07] <ImJJames> xorg.conf
[02:07] <ImJJames> where is it
[02:07] <jolaren> blakkheim; Not really. Konversation in Swedish means to talk to someone "Conversation" in English..
[02:07] <jolaren> blakkheim; So didn't really consider it ^^
[02:07] <scunizi> ImJJames: doesn't have anything in it anymore anyway.. xrandr handles video/monitor setup
[02:07] <_ged> hi, how can i change the location of the pc using command line?
[02:07] <blakkheim> jolaren: oh ok lol
[02:07] <jolaren> _ged; you need to elaborate that
[02:07] <_ged> I mean the one on your Region and Time
[02:08] <blackest_knight1> 3am in sweden isn't it ?
[02:08] <kyle6513> i suppose you could do it manually _ged, you know, walk over to the computer and pick it up? :P
[02:08] <_ged> ahm, i think my question is not right... wait let me rephrase it..
[02:08] <DaZ> _ged: you want to change the timezone, amirite? [;
[02:08] <jolaren> _ged; system > administration > language settings (or whatever)
[02:09] <shazbotmcnasty> _ged, I'm sure he was kidding.

[02:09] <kyle6513> jolaren, he was talking about in command line
[02:09] <ImJJames> =)
[02:09] <jolaren> oh
[02:09] <_ged> a...lool... i thought my question is not understandable...
[02:09] <jolaren> just for the heck of it?
[02:09] <jolaren> I mean, why change language with the commandoline?
[02:09] <jolaren> blackest_knight1; yer your correct
[02:09] <kyle6513> jolaren, server? =]
[02:09] <_ged> yup, because my access on my ubuntu is through a "putty" so i dont have a GUI interface on it...
[02:10] <jolaren> through a putty xDD
[02:10] <blakkheim> "graphical user interface interface"?
[02:10] <wgrant> _ged: Have a look at /etc/timezone
[02:10] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, YEEHAA!!! thank you!! I've been trying to find a fix for this for three days!! Thanks!!
[02:10] <blackest_knight1> _ged does it matter really ;/
[02:10] <_ged> sorry for the redundant
[02:11] <shazbotmcnasty> LinUX, no prob
[02:11] <LinUX> shazbotmcnasty, Oh bye the way, it worked :)

[02:11] <kyle6513> hey when i boot up my ubuntu installation for some reason i get white rectangles across the screen, almost as though the characters in the boot up have been changed to little rectangles
[02:11] <obiwan_> hi guys, i got now 3 questions, they keep  accumulating
[02:11] <jolaren> _ged; I don't think there's limitations as such.. except for keyboard differences etc but I could be wrong
[02:11] <shazbotmcnasty> kyle6513, sudo apt-get install unifont
[02:12] <shazbotmcnasty> mebbeh
[02:12] <shazbotmcnasty> little rectangles means you don't have the font
[02:12] <shazbotmcnasty> so if you install the font that it's trying to use, then you will see characters again
[02:12] <eaglestar> blakkheim it says only root can do that
[02:12] <eaglestar> i am in live cd
[02:12] <kyle6513> shazbotmcnasty, ah no, the rectangles are coloured in :P and its at the start, when its booting up, after that its fine
[02:12] <blakkheim> eaglestar: ...so do it as root..
[02:12] <Ben64> anyone on karmic -- what version of wget do you have?

[02:13] <Ben64> DaZ: oh, didn't know it could do that, thanks
[02:13] <DaZ> [;
[02:13] <blackest_knight1> _ged well repositories tend to be close to where you say you are but if you choose fastest server it really can be anywhere im in ireland and cz is fastest
[02:13] <AvonGenesis> Does anyone know the name of the app that lets you launch a program by typing the name of it? It was something along the lines of launcher or something.

[02:14] <jolaren> brodeurpc; should be easy with gparted

[02:16] <scott_ino2> jolaren, does your name have anything to do with the star trek character Ro Laren?
[02:16] <Ookami> eaglestar, you can use "Bookmark Organizer" from firefox menus and "export" your bookmarks .. back up .. or something ;)
[02:16] <terrorink> its it pluged in ?
[02:17] <scunizi> Ookami: google the web for a free online fax service in your country.. once setup someone else can fax you and the online service will receive the fax then email it to you in either a .tif or pdf format.. some have a special format but you can change it
[02:17] <terrorink> did it go bad
[02:17] <kyle6513> terrorink, no and yes

[02:19] <shazbotmcnasty> where 'video' is replaced with the file name
[02:19] <eaglestar> oh there you go
[02:19] <Ookami> ubuntu + recieve fax .. is there a program i should use ?
[02:19] <jolaren> scott_ino2; It's a fancy reader.. I see now I'm burning in 2x so it explains
[02:19] <micromachstick> hey can i use rhythm box to sync my ipod?
[02:20] <blackest_knight1> Ookami: http://www.efax.com/en/intl/product/page/homePage?CMP=OTC-ie try that
[02:20] <brodeurpc> blackest_knight1, says command not found
[02:20] <scunizi> Ookami: this is what I use.. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3718719&CatId=564
[02:20] <shazbotmcnasty> microhaxo, you can't add stuff to your ipod, but you can listen to music on your ipod
[02:20] <Ookami> scunizi, blackest_knight1, thanks guys .. i'll look it up ^^
[02:20] <jolaren> Ookami; Isn't it cheaper to just buy a face machine?
[02:20] <micromachstick> shzbotmcnasty, alrighty other then amarok, songbird, banshee and GTK are there any other media players that i could use to sync it? ive had a lot of difficulty..
[02:20] <jolaren> Ookami; fax*
[02:21] <bazhang> micromachstick, which ipod? some are supported with rhythmbox
[02:21] <shazbotmcnasty> to do that open rhythmbox 'edit>plugins>ipod thingy
[02:21] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, any of those programs should work providing you have the ipod support package
[02:21] <Ookami> jolaren, i would ,, i don't have a "phone line" where i am now ,, and i want to avoid the extra expenses of sending and receiving
[02:21] <Jaza> blackest_knight1: no, i thought of that but no.  Just no sound.  Rhythmbox works fine
[02:21] <micromachstick> bazhang, i have the latest generation of ipod classic and an old nano
[02:21] <blackest_knight1> brodeurpc:  sudo aptitude install gparted
[02:22] <scunizi> Ookami: without a phone line there nothing left but an online fax service..
[02:22] <micromachstick> scott_ino2 i got fed up with amarok, banshee wouldn't play mp3s..Songbird has worked perfectly except when i sync my ipod with it, it'll only play the first 4 seconds of song repeatedly
[02:22] <jolaren> Ookami; like scunizi said.. without a phoneline you need an online fax service
[02:22] <bazhang> micromachstick, this is karmic? I have a nano and a mini that can sync fine, not tried with the latest 'classic' though
[02:22] <Ookami> scunizi, got that ,, but is there a "internet to fax" .. or i just manually print out things ?
[02:23] <jolaren> Ookami; You probarly get them as .pdfs but I don't know
[02:23] <micromachstick> bazhang: yeah it is. as said I can get it to sync with songbird..but it does this odd four-second revert thing
[02:23] <blackest_knight1> OOkami its just email really
[02:23] <scunizi> Ookami: the online service will allow you to generate a document on your computer and email it to a special address that will then "fax" it to the number it's suppose to go to.
[02:23] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, well by default nothing in ubuntu will play mp3s, are you certain you had the nonfree-extras package installed first?
[02:23] <eaglestar> how do i copy files in chroot soutside to external hard drive when i am in chroot it my hdd is not recognized
[02:23] <melik> micromachstick: try using banshee, its a lot nicer than rhythmbox
[02:23] <poningru> can someone recommend a fireplace screensaver to me?
[02:24] <jolaren> poningru; There's a really nice bluray one on tpb
[02:24] <Ookami> thanks guys .. i got it ^^ but ,, what do those "fax programs" do ? ?
[02:24] <poningru> jolaren, tpb?
[02:24] <micromachstick> scott_ino2 yeah I installed the..gneudo or something like that? and it worked perfectly for songbird AND rhyhtmbox...they've both been perfect for everything except the actual syncing
[02:24] <jolaren> poningru; the piratebay
[02:24] <poningru> jolaren, sorry I dont understand
[02:24]  * wowstargate is AFK, Sleeping —I-n-v-i-s-i-o-n—
[02:24] <poningru> why would I download a 'bluray' screensaver from pirate bay?
[02:24] <jolaren> Wow, a linux user who's unaware of the piratebay
[02:24] <bazhang> jolaren, what does the pirate bay have to do with ubuntu software
[02:25] <poningru> seriously
[02:25] <blakkheim> lol
[02:25] <bazhang> jolaren, please keep that out of this channel, thanks
[02:25] <jolaren> Oh, for screensaver useage
[02:25] <Ookami> jolaren, lol .. hold up man ,, i feel ya lol
[02:25] <blackest_knight1> Ookami:  you just pass the email to fax service and they send you an email with a scan of faxes sent to you a bit like a po box
[02:25] <jolaren> bazhang; Keep what out of this channel? Isn't linux all about legal sharing?
[02:25] <Jaza>  blackest_knight1: I tried going to configure, and the playback sound devices won't sound when I press test??
[02:26] <Ookami> blackest_knight1 .. thanks man
[02:26] <bazhang> jolaren, thepiratebay bluray is not legal. please stop.
[02:26] <brodeurpc> blackest_knight1, can i do it through a livecd? it loaded the packages on but still says command not found
[02:26] <jolaren> bazhang; the one I have is, free. You could get it from otherplaces but torrents are more convienient
[02:26] <terrorink> jolaren: the ops are very touchy about any of that stuff u cant even tell jokes with out getting a stern talking to better watch ur step
[02:26] <poningru> !offtopic jolaren
[02:26] <shazbotmcnasty> thepiratebay is meant for legal sharing, but it's abused with videos and music, and other stuff
[02:27] <poningru> !offtopic | jolaren
[02:27] <poningru> anyway ...
[02:27] <blackest_knight1> brodeurpc: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php
[02:27] <poningru> where should one look for cool screensavers?
[02:27] <bazhang> poningru, gnome-look.org perhaps
[02:27] <blakkheim> who still uses a screensaver?
[02:27] <jolaren> poningru; I replied to a question. The one going of topic should be the one asking the question. But hey, end of discussion
[02:28] <scott_ino2> uhhh isn't that also offtopic poningru??
[02:28] <blackest_knight1> poningru:  gnomelook
[02:28] <poningru> scott_ino2, it is an ubuntu support question so... no
[02:28] <poningru> blackest_knight1, looked there but no luck
[02:28] <vajorie> poningru: don't install screensavers that come packaged (as deb etc) or if you have to type root password to install it.
[02:29] <poningru> vajorie, yeah I saw that
[02:29] <vajorie> :p
[02:29] <poningru> I guess it goes for all .debs
[02:29] <brodeurpc> blackest_knight1, thank you
[02:29] <scunizi> poningru: you can't install a deb without password
[02:30] <scott_ino2> if you want the fireplace for strictly being able to view it, there's an HD video of a fireplace on youtube
[02:30] <Jaza> can anyone help me out with the sound in amarok??
[02:30] <AvonGenesis> Whats a .apt? Is that the newer version of a .deb package?
[02:30] <scott_ino2> but... if you actually want it as a screensaver then i don't know, best i can do.
[02:30] <eaglestar> ok anyone know how to copy a file in chroot to an external hard drive?
[02:30] <dios_mio> ubuntu is an ancient african word meaning "i dont know how to configure debian"
[02:30] <micromachstick> are there alternatives for ipod updating aside from amarok/songbird/banshee?
[02:31] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, they all use the same package as far as i know
[02:31] <scunizi> micromachstick: you could put rockbox on the ipod :)
[02:31] <saethr> ubuntards
[02:31] <bazhang> dios_mio, did you have a support question? chat in #ubuntu-offtopic , NOT here
[02:31] <blakkheim> dios_mio: almost as ancient as that joke
[02:31] <micromachstick> scott_ino2 that frustrates me to no end lol. i've been at this for two weeks
[02:31] <dios_mio> blakkheim, lol
[02:31] <scunizi> !rockbox | micromachstick
[02:31] <micromachstick> scnizi: rockbox? what's that?
[02:31] <ethan_> where is the software manager in xubuntu?
[02:31] <scunizi> micromachstick: see the link above
[02:31] <ethan_> in ubuntu there is a software center
[02:32] <ethan_> cant find it in xubuntu
[02:32] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, i don't have an ipod as I would help you through it, I just know tons of people use ipods with linux and don't have any issue,I'd first check to make sure your device is actuallys upported
[02:32] <scunizi> ethan_: look for synaptic package manager.. usually in System>Admin
[02:32] <micromachstick> scunizi: thanks! but it doesnt look like it's recent enough to update
[02:32] <poningru> ethan_, you can use synaptic or just use aptitude
[02:32] <poningru> from the command line
[02:32] <ethan_> oh, alright then
[02:32] <blackest_knight1> micromachstick:  i think there was something new for ipod sync out this month but you'll need to google it
[02:32] <ethan_> I am trying to find ubuntu restricted extras for this laptop
[02:32] <micromachstick> scott_ino2: i KNOW it's supported..i can plug it in and it'll aknowledge itself fine..but it won't sync acurately
[02:33] <ethan_> I tried sudo apt-get ubuntu restricted extras
[02:33] <ethan_> it didnt work
[02:33] <blakkheim> ethan_: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:33] <ethan_> duh
[02:33] <bazhang> ethan_, would be xubuntu-restricted-extras
[02:33] <drunkpunk> anybody help me recover dual display control after I accidentallly scroodled my X11 xconf?
[02:33] <blackest_knight1> micromachstick:  only music can be synced
[02:33] <ethan_> lol sorry, I didnt type install
[02:33] <ethan_> lol
[02:33] <micromachstick> blackest_knight1: I noticed there was a new update for it recently..but as mentioned i dont have any trouble with getting a mount for it which seems to be the main issue people have
[02:33] <blakkheim> bazhang: is there a difference?
[02:33] <micromachstick> blackest_knight1 yeah that's all that im syncing.
[02:33] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, ahh i see...
[02:33] <ethan_> thanks, i appreciate it.  I didnt type to install lol.  Im an idiot
[02:33] <bazhang> blakkheim, not certain, but that is the package
[02:34] <ethan_> brb
[02:34] <blackest_knight1> micromachstick:  i dn't have an ipod so i've not done anything with it
[02:34] <blakkheim> bazhang: i doubt there is anything specific to xfce in that package
[02:34] <drunkpunk> failed to backup xconf file and would like to get control of dual displays once again any help much appreciated
[02:35] <micromachstick> blackest_knight1 yeah it seems like most people with linux prefer alternatives to Ipod...mine was a gift so there wasnt much to be done about it. It's extremely frustrating however
[02:35] <scott_ino2> micromachstick, honestly I'd try and get one of the guys on the libgtkpod mailing list or something, i know it sucks, again sorry, but i know many many people have gotten it working without issue so you should be able to.
[02:35] <blackest_knight1> drunkpunk: gnome-display-properties
[02:36] <turtle_> whats the deal with the evolution client being a bit buggy?
[02:36] <drunkpunk> blackest_knight1: nothin doin in there, just 1 screen showing
[02:36] <scunizi> turtle_: in what way
[02:36] <turtle_> it freezes every once in a while
[02:36] <xim_> what does it mean when my xwindows freezes solid (even the system clock) for excatly 13 seconds every few minutes while watching a movie in any program?
[02:36] <drunkpunk> blackest_knight1: and ati control centre dont work no mo neither
[02:36] <micromachstick> scott_ino2 i guess i can try contacting them..  i wish it wasn't so complex! lots of struggling..
[02:37] <blackest_knight1> drunkpunk:  sorry that was all i had
[02:37] <drunkpunk> blackest_knight1: np cheers for the input
[02:37] <scunizi> turtle_: hummm.. use to do that for me occationally ..  It's done that for a long time.. since 6.06
[02:38] <scunizi> turtle_: it also seems to be dependant on machine, setup, etc. etc. It's been some time since I've had issues.. but I'm running 8.04 & 8.10

[02:41] <drunkpunk> scunizi: yup
[02:41] <anonymous_3> Im running Ubuntu 9.10

[02:45] <bazhang> !ot | mine
[02:45] <scunizi> drunkpunk: the original xorg really didn't have much in it.. have you looked in /etc/X11 for a system created backup?  there's usually one there.

[02:48] <krishn1> blackest_knight1: ok ,is there a way to do it from terminal window
[02:48] <krishn1> I logged into the machine using ssh
[02:48] <blackest_knight1> krishn1: apt-get remove package name
[02:49] <krishn1> blackest_knight1: ok ,will try that ,thx a lot :)
[02:49] <matts> anyone willing to help me out with my wireless setup?
[02:49] <Belinrahs> krishn1: for example apt-get remove wine would remove WINE
[02:49] <kyle6513> how do i set my ubuntu installation to run in noapic mode?
[02:49] <Belinrahs> you don't put package first.
[02:50] <blackest_knight1> matts:  what chipset ?
[02:50] <kingmanor> how do i get a Terminal in ubuntu netbook remix?

[02:53] <Jaza>  I'm having some issues with amarok, i have a song playing but there is no sound? I tried going to configure, and the playback sound devices won't sound when I press test??
[02:53] <M4d3L> hi. how I can know if I use a 64bit distro or 32bit?
[02:54] <KitsuneDrag0n> M4d3l Gnome KDE?
[02:55] <M4d3L> gnome
[02:55] <M4d3L> via ssh
[02:55] <KitsuneDrag0n> Jaza: sound card problem? what soundcard you might want to google if there are problems
[02:55] <bazhang> M4d3L, uname -m in terminal
[02:55] <KitsuneDrag0n> M4d3l oh SSH sorry
[02:55] <M4d3L> i686?
[02:55] <bazhang> 32bit
[02:56] <KitsuneDrag0n> 64 bit= AMD64 right?
[02:56] <kyle6513> can anyone help me with getting my ubuntu installation to boot into noapic mode?
[02:56] <Jaza> I don't think is the sound card, I can listen to music streams on the net and can use other apps
[02:56] <KitsuneDrag0n> Jaza: oh....
[02:57] <KitsuneDrag0n> Jaza: can you check if amarok is configured correctly to use your sound output device its somewhere in options
[02:57] <kyle6513> how do i boot into noapic mode?
[02:57] <scunizi> kyle6513: I can't give you a step by step but you'll have to edit the grub menu kernel line by adding noapic or apic=off or something similar
[02:57] <blakkheim> it's acpi, not apic
[02:57] <kyle6513> scunizi, what file do i have to edit there?
[02:57] <scunizi> kyle6513: or .. are you just trying to get the live cd to boot?
[02:58] <scunizi> !grub2 | kyle6513
[02:58] <KitsuneDrag0n> noapic! | KitsuneDrag0n
[02:58] <kyle6513> scunizi, i've been told that this will make my network card work, and yes i know where the files are, but file should i edit exactly?
[02:58] <Jaza> KitsuneDrag0n: I tried that and there are 3 sound devices there and when i hit the test button none of them work
[02:59] <KitsuneDrag0n> Jaza: hmmm
[02:59] <kyle6513> scunizi, what file should i add that to exactly*
[02:59] <Jaza> I honestly don't know what sound card I have, I always let windows figure it out!
[03:00] <BalSak> hi guys. having difficulty configuring a multiseat config. is there some tool (GUI or CLI) that can assist in the numerous xorg config option?
[03:00]  * kyle6513 misses grub 1
[03:00] <scunizi> kyle6513: like I said.. I can't give you a step by step.. I'm on an older system that doesn't edit the same way.. and I'm not use to the new grub2.. so in the old sys. it was the menu.list file in /boot/grub but that isn't true anymore..
[03:01] <agusj> anyone knows what version of ubuntu that use kernel 2.18 or 2.20 ?
[03:01] <kyle6513> scunizi, alright, thanks anyway
[03:01] <scunizi> kyle6513: the link above should tell you what file to edit

[03:02] <BunnyFooFoo> The command: (sed '1d' .file > .file) leaves me with an empty file, not a file with only the first line removed. anyone know why?
[03:02] <brodeurpc> blackest_knight1, i deleted the swap partition using the livecd and recreated a new one, rebooted, Ubuntu ran a quick drive check and now my laptop is working again, thank you for your help :)

[03:08] <aliksy> I am having trouble burning .ogg as an audio disk with gnome baker. it's telling me i dont have the plugin necessary. what package is that?
[03:09] <scunizi> aliksy: you might want to give k3b a try.
[03:10] <blakkheim> scunizi: that pulls in a lot of kde crap
[03:10] <aliksy> k3b being another program for burning?
[03:11] <localg0d> I am using 9.04 64bit and cannot get sound without using the kernel that came with the disc , would someone know what is the cause of this issue or have a link to a thread for this issues ? please ?
[03:11] <fuzzy_> heya.
[03:11] <scunizi> blakkheim: some.. but it's almost the defacto standard other burners try to live up to
[03:11] <scunizi> aliksy: yes

[03:12] <fuzzy_> does any of you know a way to copy a xp iso to a usb flash drive, and make it boota ble?
[03:12] <kyle6513> fuzzy_, are you attempting to install off a usb key?
[03:12] <fuzzy_> well, i know how to mount the iso, and copy, but i need it to boot
[03:12] <fuzzy_> kyle6513, yes

[03:13] <fuzzy_> no, just making the usb act as a CD, as im on a netbook without a cd-rom and only running ubuntu atm
[03:13] <localg0d> blackest_knight1:  that does not solve the issue .. this seems to be some sort of bug or sound card setting hang ... and i cannot figure out the issue via cli
[03:13] <firefitrwife> fuzzy, you need to use a program to make it bootable
[03:13] <blackest_knight1> fuzzy unetbootin will set you up
[03:14] <st__> where can I get some a;ternative kernels for Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:14] <fuzzy_> blackest_knight1, didnt think unetbootin worked for xp isos
[03:14] <blakkheim> st__: kernel.org
[03:14] <scunizi> !install | fuzzy_ this should show you some options
[03:14] <kyle6513> scunizi, ty
[03:14] <scunizi> kyle6513: np
[03:14] <firefitrwife> there's another program fuzzy i forgot the name i have it on my desktop
[03:15] <firefitrwife> works well and isnt limited on the isos
[03:15] <fuzzy_> scunizi, im not having trouble installing ubuntu
[03:15] <RandomizeR> my graphics display is killing me!! can anyone help me please?
[03:15] <firefitrwife> but unetbootin can still work with xp i believe, as long as you have the iso downloaded
[03:15] <firefitrwife> should be the second option once you start it
[03:15] <RandomizeR> i have nVidia 9600 and ViewSonic VA712 LCD, but for some reason i don't have the right resolutions
[03:15] <Maletor> Help, I have Ubuntu 9.10 and EVGA 9800GTX+ connected to my Vizio 37" but it looks like about 20-30 pixels is cut off (i.e. the task bar is unviewable) what can I do to fix this "resolution" problem? Updating drivers to manufacturers drivers is not helping...
[03:15] <fuzzy_> yeah, i selected iso and found the iso on the drive
[03:15] <st__> are you laughing at me? kernel.org is the sources archive, ffs i would need it?
[03:16] <scunizi> fuzzy_: I know but you're wanting to install off a usb key right?
[03:16] <blackest_knight1> localg0d:  ubuntu mutes audio by default on installing new kernel
[03:16] <Maletor> RandomizeR, do you have a similar problem to me?
[03:16] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, thanks anyways, im gonna try and see how it works =)
[03:16] <aliksy> k3b seems to work
[03:16] <aliksy> thanks, name-that-scrolled-off who suggested it
[03:16] <fuzzy_> scunizi, yes, a XP iso on a usb stick
[03:16] <RandomizeR> best i could get is 1024x768, but monitor works with 1280x1024
[03:16] <firefitrwife> i'll see if i can find the other one for you
[03:16] <sqp> hello, i'm looking for support for jaunty studio x86  can't get my pro/wireless agn 5100 card to work. says the radio killswitch is on when i know it isn't
[03:16] <RandomizeR> Maletor, no, actually, everything is viewable but max resolution is 1024x768
[03:16] <scunizi> fuzzy_: oh.. on it's own partition? or in a vm?
[03:16] <localg0d> blackest_knight1: i don't have it muted .. but is there some where i should check other than volume control ?
[03:17] <firefitrwife> ah fuzzy, take the ISO off of it before you make it bootable
[03:17] <^Ocean^> can dd be used to write a norton ghost image to a disk ?
[03:17] <fuzzy_> scunizi, a physical usb stick =) to do a "cd-rom replace"
[03:17] <blackest_knight1> localg0d:  tried alsamixer in a terminal ?
[03:17] <st__> where can I get some a;ternative kernels for Ubuntu 9.10?
[03:17] <RandomizeR> for me it seems the problem is something with the EDID
[03:17] <blakkheim> st__: compile your own
[03:17] <scunizi> fuzzy_: looks like firefitrwife has got you going in the right direction. good luck
[03:17] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, what do you mean?
[03:18] <RandomizeR> could it be because my nvidia outputs HDMI and the LCD is analog connected with adapter?
[03:18] <tanase_> ciao a tutti
[03:18] <fuzzy_> thanks anyway scunizi =)
[03:18] <sqp> anyone?
[03:18] <RandomizeR> help anyone?
[03:18] <firefitrwife> unet needs to find the iso off your HD not the usb stick
[03:18] <st__> why the hell i should compile it myself?! id ont have corresponding resources
[03:18] <firefitrwife> move it off there first, then have unet find it
[03:19] <blakkheim> st__: why do you want an alterative kernel?
[03:19] <st__> because the current kernel is 90MB monster
[03:19] <fuzzy_> yeah, i got the iso on my hdd, not on the usb =)
[03:19] <blakkheim> st__: then.. like i said, compile your own. use only what you need for your hardware and it will be much smaller.
[03:20] <firefitrwife> oh i though you said it was on the usb, my bad
[03:20] <xrandr> can Pulse Audio be removed without breaking ubuntu?
[03:20] <st__> blakkheim: and how am I supposed to update it then?
[03:21] <blakkheim> xrandr: yes
[03:21] <Maletor> anyone?
[03:21] <blakkheim> st__: that's up to you
[03:21] <xrandr> blakkheim: is there a guide to do this? or just use Synaptic?
[03:21] <blakkheim> xrandr: just remove the pulseaudio stuff, you can use synaptic if you need it
[03:21] <fuzzy_> second issue. is it possible to use a virtual machine (virtualbox) or similar, to exactly clone my computer to be used in a virtual enviroment?
[03:22] <fuzzy_> my netbook has compablility issues in moblin, ubuntu moblin remix and ubuntu netbook remix
[03:22] <xrandr> blakkheim: using synaptic it wants to remove ubuntu desktop
[03:22] <blakkheim> xrandr: and?
[03:22] <fuzzy_> so i was hoping to set up a virtual enviroment that is a mirror off my netbook, so i can troubleshoot within a working ubuntu 9.04
[03:22] <xrandr> blakkheim: then i lose the desktop, don't i?
[03:23] <Purpley> im trying to encrypt my whole HDD using truecrypt but It isn't showing the option to encrypt a system partition how do I go about doing this?
[03:23] <blakkheim> xrandr: no
[03:23] <scunizi> fuzzy_: vmware has a program that will create a vm file of an existing install of windows.. it can then be used in vmware or imported into virtualbox.. however once installed in the vm it will need to be activated with MS and the other stand a lone install will no longer work because it won't be "validated"
[03:23] <firefitrwife> fuzzy i havent tried unr on my netbook, i just run regular ubuntu on it
[03:23] <dsdeiz> ssh client by default is installed right?
[03:23] <blakkheim> dsdeiz: should be
[03:24] <dsdeiz> got it thanks..
[03:24] <scunizi> fuzzy_: if you want to clone the install so you can put it back later.. use clonezilla, partimage to do that
[03:24] <Purpley> im trying to encrypt my whole HDD using truecrypt but It isn't showing the option to encrypt a system partition how do I go about doing this?
[03:25] <fuzzy_> scunizi, i think youre misunderstanding. =)
[03:25] <fuzzy_> im having trouble with 3 netbook distros. (linux)
[03:25] <scunizi> fuzzy_: k.. where do I have it wrong?
[03:26] <scunizi> fuzzy_: what does your netbook run? windows. linux?
[03:26] <fuzzy_> and instead of running live cd's and installing and rebooting all the time to switch OS, i want to use my working ubuntu 9.04. then with the use of a virtual enviroment "clone" my hardware
[03:26] <fuzzy_> im running ubuntu 9.04 now
[03:27] <fuzzy_> because its my wifi card that is giving me the biggest headache.
[03:27] <firefitrwife> i'm running 9.1 on my netbbok. No hardware issues. picked up wifi no problem
[03:27] <Purpley> Does anyone know good secure encryption software for ubuntu? I can't use Truecrypt as it wont work
[03:27] <fuzzy_> for some reason, my wifi is fully working in UBNBR 9.10, but not in ubuntu moblin remix
[03:27] <scunizi> fuzzy_: well.. with a vm you can't clone your hardware.. just your software. the VM utilizes it's own "hardware emulation" of various types.
[03:28] <fuzzy_> scunizi, oh, thats a bummer
[03:28] <firefitrwife> have you tried running a non "netbook" spun version?
[03:28] <fuzzy_> yes, im running ubuntu 9.04 desktop now
[03:28] <fuzzy_> works awesome
[03:29] <fuzzy_> but the netbook editions are updated and optimized for netbook chipsets etc.
[03:29] <abel408> Hey everyone. I'm trying to connect to my ubuntu machine in windows using the host name. I can connect and view shared folders if I use the assigned ip address, but not the host name.
[03:29] <fuzzy_> so i want  to use any of the netbook releases
[03:29] <blakkheim> optimized in what way?
[03:29] <scunizi> fuzzy_: kubuntu has a netbook version I just read about the other day. you might look for and try that
[03:30] <firefitrwife> blakk, i think it optomizes the screen space, not sure
[03:30] <vajorie> blakkheim: for a netbook's smaller screen (not really "optimized" but anyway)
[03:30] <firefitrwife> and some other aspects
[03:30] <fuzzy_> blakkheim, as far as i know, its optimized for the atom processor, and its speedstep automatic overclocking
[03:30] <firefitrwife> but i've heard a number of people just go back to desktop versions for their netbooks and are happier
[03:30] <fuzzy_> powersaving etc
[03:30] <blakkheim> fuzzy_: let me  ask you this: does it use different repos than regular ubuntu?
[03:31] <EastDallas> abel408: add the computer names to /etc/hosts
[03:31] <vajorie> blakkheim: same repos
[03:31] <blakkheim> fuzzy_: then it is just the same i386, generic, UNoptimized binaries
[03:31] <vajorie> blakkheim: maybe different kernel, not sure
[03:31] <Snausages> blakkheim: the most noticeable thing is that it is set up to run all apps fullscreen
[03:31] <Snausages> no floating windows
[03:31] <vajorie> maximus yay...
[03:31] <fuzzy_> well maybe ubuntu, but not moblin
[03:31] <blakkheim> netbook "remixes" aren't going to run the same apps any faster at all
[03:32] <fuzzy_> from moblin.org : on building a Linux-based platform optimized for the next generation of mobile devices including Netbooks, Mobile Internet Devices
[03:32] <vajorie> blakkheim: it's possible that theur out of the box settings may be different, their kernels may be different (smaller and optimized for atom et al), fonts fixed, window sizes fixed etc
[03:32] <Snausages> blakkheim: nope..  they're just tuning the windowing behavior, app switcher & desktop launcher for a smaller screen.  Did a bloody good job of it in ubuntu netbook remix, I might add....
[03:33] <fuzzy_> then.. i found Ubuntu moblin remix. which is built on ubuntu, with the GUI from moblin
[03:33] <blakkheim> vajorie: all possible. i was just saying that thinking the binaries in a netbook version are any different is wrong.
[03:34] <blakkheim> if you want things optimized for your processor, you're going to want to look into something like gentoo
[03:34] <firefitrwife> blakkheim, another thing with the netbook remixes are simplified "desktops"
[03:34] <EastDallas> abel408: just follow the conventions used in the file.  If you have a computer named ubuntudesktop, add '<IP_ADDRESS>   ubuntudesktop'  to your other machine's hosts file.
[03:34] <firefitrwife> not my thing, but people trying to veer away from MS that havent used linux before like them becuse of their accessability
[03:34] <fuzzy_> blakkheim its said that the driver support is the same in ubuntu 9.10 and netbook remix 9.10\
[03:35] <fuzzy_> which is great. but there is some (known) issues with msi wind u100 and ubuntu 9.10
[03:35] <blakkheim> firefitrwife: i agree, i like a regular desktop on my netbook (openbox or awesome)
[03:35] <firefitrwife> i'm not gonna lie, it was a good idea on their part for the masses looking for a free alternative
[03:36] <EastDallas> abel408:  Did you get any of what I said?
[03:36] <Callum__> WHOOOO, my new phone's mobile broadband feature works out of the box under Ubuntu =D
[03:36] <fujimitsu> issue: i can only boot up via recovery mode, drop to a shell and login, then do a sudo gdm start which takes me to regular graphical login screen, after i login (again) then system works as normal.
[03:36] <fuzzy_> blakkheim, heres the catch. my wifi works flawless in ubuntu netbook remix, but my brightness flickers. in ubuntu moblin remix, my screen doesnt flicker, but my wifi doesnt work
[03:36] <jsoft> Who needs a script or something written. Im bored
[03:37] <blakkheim> fuzzy_: and what about regular ubuntu?
[03:37] <fuzzy_> ubuntu moblin remix finds my wifi card, finds wifi networks, but cant connect to them
[03:37] <firefitrwife> but back to the matter at hand... i don't think UNR has beter battery life from what i've heard. and i don't think theres a huge difference in the footprint
[03:37] <fuzzy_> blakkheim, same with regular 9.10
[03:37] <abel408> EastDallas: Yes thank you. But I need a way to resolve the host name even when the ip changes
[03:37] <jsoft> abel408: whats the problem?
[03:38] <scunizi> abel408: from outside your lan?
[03:38] <firefitrwife> fuzzy what does it tell you?
[03:38] <unity24> hello!could anyone please help me?got a malicious code on my hdd on sector 0.how may I vipe out completely?
[03:38] <EastDallas> abel408, unfortunately, WINS doesn't really work that well unless you assign a static IP, so it's about the same either way.
[03:38] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, it just says "connection failed"
[03:38] <High> Hi, I haven’t been able to successfully get my wired Ethernet connection to be detected. I’ve Installed Ubuntu 9.1 on a Thinkpad T42 2378-FZU.
[03:38] <blakkheim> unity24: dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sda
[03:38] <ziroday> unity24: how did you get this code?
[03:38] <jsoft> High: what does ifconfig -a say?
[03:39] <jsoft> Is there an eth0 ?
[03:39] <EastDallas> jsoft: he's trying to resolve host names for samba
[03:39] <ImJJames> has anyone here used opensuse 11.1?
[03:39] <jsoft> EastDallas: oh.
[03:39] <jsoft> EastDallas: I find samba related things a mission
[03:39] <firefitrwife> hmm i'm not sure 9.1 never gave me issues with that. is it secured?
[03:39] <scunizi> ImJJames: probably.. but this isn't the place for questions on it
[03:40] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, yes, tried both secured and unsecured
[03:40] <abel408> jsoft: I'm trying to connect to my shared directories on my ubuntu machine from windows machines using it's dns name rather than ip address. The reason being is because this ubuntu machine will be going on another family network and I want to tell the to connect to \\media rather than figuring out what subnet their network is on and telling them to connect to \\<IP_ADDRESS>
[03:40] <ImJJames> no j/w
[03:40] <ImJJames> planning to switch to it
[03:40] <ImJJames> using xubunut atm
[03:40] <unity24> well,I erased all of my hdd.possibly it is a rootkit.everybody laughs on me,if tell my story,that have a hacker attack via wifi.
[03:40] <EastDallas> jsoft: It's been my experience that WINS support is spotty at best with dynamic IPs, so I just assign a static IP and add it to /etc/hosts.
[03:40] <ImJJames> maybe that will fix my screen flickering
[03:40] <ImJJames> lol
[03:40] <firefitrwife> sorry dog knocked out the powercord to my router
[03:40] <jsoft> abel408: cant help sorry :|
[03:40] <fuzzy_> firefitrwife, yes, tried both secured and unsecured
[03:40] <ImJJames> what is the major differnce from opensuse and xubuntu?
[03:41] <sqp> hello, i'm looking for support for jaunty studio x86  can't get my pro/wireless agn 5100 card to work. says the radio killswitch is on when i know it isn't
[03:41] <scunizi> ImJJames: the flicker is most likely because of your video driver or refresh rate on your monitor
[03:41] <corinth> I really want to use pcman as my default file manager. Any way to do this?
[03:41] <jsoft> sqp: Doh :| Well mine works, what laptop is it>
[03:42] <firefitrwife> sorry fuzzy
[03:42] <agusj> can ubuntu 7.04 be installed on sata? help me please
[03:42] <unity24> i goin to boot with damn small linux and try that.thank you so much!
[03:42] <jsoft> agusj: I dont see why not
[03:42] <EastDallas> abel408:  You can add the line wins support = yes to your /etc/samba/smb.conf and see if that works
[03:42] <blakkheim> agusj: why such an old version
[03:42] <ImJJames> i know.. its just that it only gives me one refresh rate option which is 60mhz
[03:42] <agusj> I want to use kernel 2.6.18
[03:43] <IdleOne> agusj: 7.04 is !eol
[03:43] <firefitrwife> try resetting the modem and router. my desktop (yes its wireless) used to give me that problem
[03:43] <agusj> I got problem install on new sata drive
[03:43] <agusj> live cd cannot work
[03:44] <EastDallas> abel408:  It might be a little sporadic if you're using a dynamic IP.  You'll also want to add the line 'wins server = the ip address of the machine with wins support = yes' to any other linux machines on the network.
[03:44] <stephthegeek> i need a copy of the cursors used in my theme (clearlooks).  where would i find the original image files?

[03:45] <agusj> it cannot appear gui
[03:45] <zoug> sqp: you can try ifconfig to turn it off or on
[03:46] <IdleOne> agusj: does the cd boot ? or do you start the install and not see anything?
[03:46] <agusj> must I make partition first from windows?
[03:46] <sqp> zoug: how do i do that?
[03:46] <abel408> EastDallas: Ok, Thanks!
[03:46] <EastDallas> abel408: you'll also want to add this line to smb.conf: 'name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast'.  If it already exists, just put wins at the beginning.
