[00:00] <daftykins> Krai: what are you trying to install?
[00:00] <mlissner> terminhell: I do have a setting called "Init Display First" which can be set to either 'pci' or 'pci express card'. No idea what it means though.
[00:00] <terminhell> mlissner: sounds like a hardware prob for sure if its black from the moment you hit the power button
[00:00] <koshari> Krai actually thats a hidden file called .linux
[00:00] <terminhell> mlissner: thats what you need to do...
[00:00] <Krai> http://beta.eset.com/linux
[00:00] <daftykins> mlissner: that's a BIOS entry to choose a primary graphics card to be either PCI-Express or normal PCI
[00:00] <crazyeric> how do i find the desktop in the file system, i booted from the install disc and go the live session user and am trying to back some things up so i can do a fresh install
[00:00] <terminhell> mlissner: set it to pci express card
[00:00] <Krai> you can c file in that link
[00:00] <daftykins> crazyeric: ~/Desktop
[00:00] <crazyeric> nevermind
[00:00] <crazyeric> fiound it...
[00:01] <Krai> ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop runs on the following distributions: Debian, Fedora, Mandriva, RedHat, SuSE, Ubuntu and other RPM and DEB package manager based installations. Both 32-bit and 64-bit (AMD64/EMT64) architectures are supported
[00:01] <zvacet> does anyone use lxde I need some halp with it
[00:01] <Krai> but the file can be downloaded is .linux
[00:01] <Krai> have you any opinion about it ?
[00:01] <terminhell> zvacet: ive used it a little in the past
[00:02] <terminhell> Krai: a .linux file? sounds fishy
[00:02] <Krai> http://beta.eset.com/linux
[00:02] <daftykins> Krai: no .deb download or repo to add?
[00:02] <zvacet> do you remember how to manage network and users & groups
[00:02] <Krai> no daftykins
[00:02] <fixer_33> hi everyone
[00:02] <Krai> you can see in that link wha i am talking about
[00:02] <capron> Kardos,  Is thee no good open antivir too use ?
[00:02] <daftykins> Krai: "chmod +x" it then "./file.linux"
[00:03] <terminhell> zvacet: its just a de. you still gotta load up on apps for that stuff. natively it doesnt ship with such apps
[00:03] <overmacht> Krai; ubuntu is safe forever, no need AV anymore.
[00:03] <Krai> overmacht:  i know but i want to know how to install a .linux file
[00:03] <goddard> geirha ok now I get operation not supported
[00:03] <acovrig> is there a cmd that lets me ssh as user1, and see what the title of the topmost window (on :0.0) of user2 is?
[00:03] <Krai> main purpose of tryin to install for me just learn this
[00:04] <zvacet> I tried to set network with pppoeconf and it failed
[00:04] <mlissner> terminhell: I put in that setting, then put in the card, but I still can't get anything to come up on the display.
[00:04] <fixer_33> i've got a really big problem with mdb2 library because when I use query method to make query to database i see that this method is undefined
[00:04] <Krai> daftykins:  then like a bin file ?
[00:04] <fixer_33> i need help
[00:04] <daftykins> Krai: might be ja
[00:04] <terminhell> Krai: ive never heard of a .linux file. im not sure how to install it.
[00:04] <daftykins> Krai: or a script
[00:04] <terminhell> mlissner: your not putting the card in with the power on right?
[00:04] <Krai> i am trying bb
[00:04] <mlissner> terminhell: Right-o
[00:05] <geirha> goddard: That's a common warning when copying to windows filesystems. Windows filesystems doesn't support the linux-permission scheme, so you get operation not supported when trying to set permissions on the moved files.
[00:05] <terminhell> was that a yes or no? lol
[00:05] <mlissner> terminhell: that's a correct - I'm powering off before adding/removing any hardware.
[00:05] <Krai> daftykins:  it works
[00:05] <goddard> geirha so what do I do it doesn't appear to work
[00:06] <daftykins> \o/
[00:06] <Krai> it has a gui like a bin file
[00:06] <daftykins> :) cool
[00:06] <geirha> goddard: The files aren't moved?
[00:06] <Krai> this commands started its installation gui
[00:06] <goddard> geirha oh sorry they are
[00:06] <Krai> then we learn a .linux file same with a bin file :))
[00:06] <terminhell> mlissner: does that card require power? newer cards actualy require power from the powersupply, plugged directly onto it
[00:06] <overmacht> Krai; has been reading manual? look http://download.eset.com/manuals/ESET_EAVLIN_4_UserGuide_ENU.pdf
[00:06] <geirha> goddard: It's safe to ignore those warnings. mv is just trying to make the destination files have the same permissions as the source files.
[00:07] <q0k> Does any member of this talking room have Ubuntu installed at a Fujitsu laptop? If so, please tell me, I have several questions about it.
[00:07] <seanbrystone> using 9.10 here, anyone know a good link to how i could possibly move all .mozilla files, like cache and whatnot to a encrypted file/disk using truecrypt
[00:07] <acovrig> is there a cmd that lets me ssh as user1, and see what the title of the topmost window (on :0.0) of user2 is?
[00:07] <goddard> geirha I have one last problem maybe you could help me with if you would be so kind
[00:08] <divXjunky> Hi all. I am on ubuntu 9.10, and when I tried to update with the update manager, I got an dpkg error when it was reading the database. I tried "dpkg --configure -a" to fix it, however, a second update attempt also failed. Anybody around who knows what this problem might be? thanx!!
[00:08] <goddard> geirha what if I want to automate this process and have apache run this how would I set it up
[00:08] <acovrig> is there a cmd that lets me ssh as user1, and see what the title of the topmost window (on :0.0) of user2 is?
[00:09] <Krai> overmacht:  no
[00:09] <Krai> i wil read. is there anything need to know ?
[00:09] <geirha> goddard: You want apache to move files to your windows machine? Also mount the windows share?
[00:09] <pino> apt
[00:09] <pino> sudo
[00:09] <capron> divXjunky,  Do you get the same problem using apt-get ?
[00:09] <pino> sudo su
[00:09] <Krai> we found installation commands with the help of daftykins
[00:09] <goddard> geirha the share is already mounted
[00:10] <divXjunky> capron, Yes I had the same results with apt-get
[00:10] <goddard> geirha I just have it run a command and change the file permissions for the source folder to www-data
[00:10] <mlissner> terminhell: interesting theory...you had me worried for a second, but no, no power needed.
[00:10] <q0k> Does any member of this talking room have Ubuntu installed at a Fujitsu laptop? If so, please tell me, I have several questions about it.
[00:10] <B3rz3rk3r> !ask | q0k
[00:11] <q0k> Does any member of this talking room have Ubuntu installed at a Fujitsu laptop?
[00:11] <capron> divXjunky,  Have you tried apt-get autoclean
[00:11] <geirha> goddard: By apache though, you mean a php-script? and you trigger the move from a web page?
[00:11] <goddard> geirha yes
[00:12] <terminhell> mlissner: silly question, but you do have the monitor securly plugged in to the card, not the onboard
[00:12] <B3rz3rk3r> q0k, you dont seem to understand, ask a question to do with the problem that you are having.. not a general one. That way if anytone knows the answer to your problem they will reply.. understand?
[00:12] <goddard> geirha normally this works great, but for some reason it is giving me trouble with the windows pc
[00:13] <mlissner> terminhell: yep.
[00:13] <kuna236> anyone know how to update a Matshita disk drives firmware within Linux?
[00:13] <q0k> Does any member of this talking room have Ubuntu installed at a Fujitsu laptop? I want to know how did the installation go. Did you have any problems with some hardware? Can you give links to the additional drivers which you had to find to do a successful install?
[00:13] <geirha> goddard: Perhaps you're not quoting right?
[00:13] <mlissner> terminhell: tried both though...neither works when the nvidia card is plugged in.
[00:13] <goddard> geirha maybe i will check again
[00:14] <mlissner> q0k: You might just try the live CD. That'll give you a good idea of what works and what doesn't on your laptop.
[00:14] <terminhell> mlissner: wow, hmm, ive got no idea. you may have to go to another forum, nvidia forums or something. Could be faulty hardware. or a simple bios setting ive long forgotten
[00:15] <divXjunky> capron, same result after apt-get autoclean, again the update fails at reading the database.
[00:15] <zmanning> can someone tell me how to see the version a repository app?
[00:16] <q0k> " mlissner>	q0k: You might just try the live CD. That'll give you a good idea of what works and what doesn't on your laptop. " - I thank you for this suggestion. This will most likely be the first thing to do for me. But previous experience of some people could let me have more drivers and be more ready to what happens...
[00:16] <kuna236> zmanning: apt-cache showpkg packageName
[00:16] <n4cvx> Dell mini inspiron now working 100% with ubuntu 9.10 after ordering from Dell with Ubuntu and then replacing the Dell version of Ubuntu which didn't seem to be too handy.
[00:17] <mlissner> terminhell: Oh well, thanks anyway. Good to have a second opinion.
[00:17] <zmanning> kuna236, awesome! thanks!
[00:17] <kuna236> zmanning: no prob
[00:17] <terminhell> mlissner: no prob. good luck!
[00:17] <mlissner> q0k: Gotcha. Well, good luck.
[00:18] <capron> divXjunky, strange problem ,  too bad it did not work,  I am totaly cluess now when your database is corrupt ,  I guess the apt-get check also did not help.
[00:18] <ViridianFire> Ok can anyone help me to get my heaphone jack to work?
[00:18] <MrSandman> RTFM

[00:19] <MrSandman> thank you very macho
[00:19] <crazyeric> so i got to the dashboard without the flickering but now it says xbmc needs hardware accelerated opengl; do i uninstall X server and reinstall or what?
[00:19] <kuna236> ViridianFire: one of my headphone jacks is always muted by default when I install a new distro... maybe check your alsa settings
[00:19] <ViridianFire> I did check alsa mixer
[00:19] <war> how do you change permissions to a hard drive so you can read and write
[00:19] <ViridianFire> it shows up but it does not have a volume bar
[00:20] <kuna236> war: what part of your hard drive?
[00:20] <nico__> chmod 755 /path
[00:20] <war> thanks
[00:20] <kuna236> war: nm
[00:20] <divXjunky> capron, Thanx for your help, I'll keep looking for a fix, but I think it's far more likely that my old laptop harddrive  is going to fail one of these days... Could be that the dpkg db is being read from a corrupted sector.

[00:35] <philipwnz> Can someone help me to add a custom line in grub.cfg that will start my existing ubuntu install?
[00:35] <grendal_prime> where can i find what version of a program is in what distrobution?
[00:35] <jrib> grendal_prime: packages.ubuntu.com
[00:36] <terminhell> w00t its raining
[00:36] <philipwnz> Can someone help me to add a custom line in grub.cfg that will start my existing ubuntu install? I'm using debian now but I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed which I want to start with grub2
[00:36] <VCoolio> philipwnz: can't help, but in any case you should not edit grub.cfg but /etc/default/grub
[00:36] <CyberaX2195> surely running update-grub , should find it
[00:36] <jrib> philipwnz: grub2 automatically scans for other distros when you run update-grub
[00:36] <wweasel> I have a frustrating problem with my Ubuntu server install. It periodically goes into some sort of suspend state, where it doesn't respond to ping/ssh, etc. and, more strangely, doesn't keep the system time advancing.  If I touch a keyboard key it immediately wakes. Any advice? (even a log file to look at to try to figure out what's up)
[00:37] <VCoolio> grendal_prime: if by 'distribution' you mean different linux distros check distrowatch.com
[00:37] <Out_Cold> wweasel, is it a a desktop install or server?
[00:38] <terminhell> wweasel: id turn off all power saving modes
[00:38] <wweasel> Out_Cold, server install (I've tried #ubuntu-server, but it's pretty low activity)
[00:38] <philipwnz> Ubuntu 9.10 is on a separate partition and update-grub didn't found it
[00:38] <Out_Cold> terminhell, i don't think there is power save modes on them. i never had to change
[00:38] <wweasel> terminhell, where would I look to see if any are enabled? I don't think there is any enabled, at least to my knowledge.
[00:39] <terminhell> i remember, theres a kind of hidden power option in the ubuntu server
[00:39] <suprsonic> my son managed to get Xwindows to dsplay 1/4 of my screen
[00:39] <terminhell> i forget the location of it, but its fixable
[00:40] <terminhell> you may want to start in the xorg.conf
[00:40] <suprsonic> how do i get it to reset to full screen?
[00:40] <Out_Cold> wweasel, which release?
[00:41] <wweasel> terminhell, Out_Cold: If it helps any, this is on a laptop. But it's obviously connected to AC. So it's possible Ubuntu is trying to do something power-saving.
[00:41] <wweasel> Out_Cold, 9.10
[00:41] <Out_Cold> wweasel, if it's a laptop yes it may have laptop power settings
[00:41] <terminhell> wweasel: it could be bios related
[00:42] <wweasel> terminhell, Checked, nothing there. Also thought it might be fault ACPI related, so I tried booting with acpi=off, no improvement
[00:42] <philipwnz> Can someone help me to add a custom line in grub.cfg that will start my existing ubuntu install? I'm using debian now but I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed which I want to start with grub2. I TRIED as suggested to run update-grub but it didn't found the ubuntu install which is on separate partition. Please help me as I don't have much time
[00:42] <Seeker`> !google
[00:42] <raden_work> i have installed ubuntu server 2 times and it never asks me to set a password for root ? am i missing something
[00:42] <Out_Cold> !root
[00:42] <terminhell> philipwnz: do you have 2 different grub versions installed in seperate places???
[00:43] <Dabian> Encrypted DVD wont play, even though I installed libdvdread4 and ran the script.  Ubuntu 9.10, I think.
[00:44] <Out_Cold> raden_work, you 'shouldn't' run as root but if you need to set, sudo -i, then passwd
[00:44] <philipwnz> terminhell: yes, both are grub2, one in my debian partition which i'm running right now and the other in the ubuntu partition
[00:44] <terminhell> philipwnz: >.< you dont need more than 1 grub install
[00:45] <philipwnz> Terminator: well the second one came with debian so...
[00:45] <LetsGo67> I am tired of using Windows 7, but I am tired on my fan *not* turning on in Ubuntu!  When will this be fixed?  Acer Aspire 5315 which worked in 9.04.
[00:45] <Out_Cold> LetsGo67, is there a bug for it?
[00:46] <grendal_prime> VCoolio: na basicaly i need to upgrade to 8.10 to get what i need
[00:46] <terminhell> philipwnz: only thing i can think of is delete one of them and then update the one left
[00:46] <grendal_prime> thanks guys
[00:46] <Dabian> Is UBUNTU unable to show encrypted DVD's?
[00:46] <LetsGo67> No clue. Out_Cold.  I assume yes.  Regardless, it doth frustrateth me.
[00:46] <Dabian> ~? dvd
[00:46] <Out_Cold> Dabian, some dvds just dont work
[00:46] <philipwnz> can I just make only the ubuntu grub bootable, so when i boot the pc it will run the grub installed in ubuntu which will let me chose to start ubuntu
[00:47] <Out_Cold> LetsGo67, search for the bug, report your system and add your input
[00:47] <Trek> Dabian, you'll need some packages in the Medibuntu repos
[00:47] <aam_> Anyone using Lucid Lynx?
[00:47] <Dabian> Trek: I got libdvdread4, but I guess thats not enough?
[00:47] <goddard> geirha i have tried everything i am out of ideas
[00:47] <terminhell> philipwnz: yes. remove the one from the othe os
[00:47] <Out_Cold> aam_, i tried it on my netbook and it failed for X
[00:48] <aam_> interesting
[00:48] <kuna236> Dabian: run sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[00:48] <goddard> geirha will the www-data group be able to access a network if I mount it as user BOB
[00:48] <goddard> will the www-data group be able to access a network if I mount it as user BOB
[00:48] <Dabian> kuna236: That was in the guide, so I already did that.
[00:48] <kuna236> Dabian: oh, sorry
[00:48] <LetsGo67> OH AND what should I do to stop hackers on a server?
[00:49] <Dabian> kuna236: No, thanks for the idea. :)
[00:49] <capron> philipwnz, yes you can but grub2 used is not that easy too config  if it dont work right from start
[00:49] <Dabian> kuna236: I bet it would have fixed the problem in more than 80% of the cases. :)
[00:49] <crazyeric> is this SMART Dats 'Disk Failure is Imminent" something i should be taking seriously?
[00:50] <raden_work> Out_Cold, so i cannot log in as root at all ?
[00:50] <Trek> Out_Cold, we won't explain how to access root
[00:50] <goddard> will the www-data group be able to access a network if I mount it as user BOB
[00:50] <Trek> sorry, raden_work
[00:50] <Dabian> Out_Cold: Are you saying that Ubuntu is unable to play certain DVD's, so I have to go to my parents place or somewhere else to watch it?
[00:50] <Out_Cold> raden_work, i showed you how to.. but enabling root log in is 'not recommended'
[00:50] <kuna236> Dabian: blashphemy!
[00:51] <kuna236> haha
[00:51] <Trek> raden_work, we won't help you access root.  most things that root can do can be done under "sudo"
[00:51] <jjwdesign> lool
[00:51] <raden_work> Trek, wow thanks for the help
[00:51] <Dabian> raden_work: Its for your own good.
[00:51] <Out_Cold> Dabian, i have experienced it with some encrypted ones.... maybe there is a fix?
[00:51] <raden_work> uhuh sure... stupid !!!
[00:51] <Trek> raden_work, at least we won't help you here, I think its against the CoC...  at least it is for ubuntuforums.org
[00:52] <goddard> will the www-data group be able to access a network if I mount it as user BOB
[00:52] <Dabian> raden_work: Why do you want root access anyhow?  Thats usually the receipt on how to screw up your system?
[00:52] <Trek> !attitude | raden_work
[00:52] <koshari> Dabian have you tried vlc to play your dvd?
[00:53] <Dabian> koshari: There is something broken with VLC
[00:53] <raden_work> Dabian, cause I have alot of thing I need to install etc  and i dont need to be typing sudo ever 2 min so anyway found out how
[00:53] <trism> philipwnz: according to the grub2 article on the gentoo wiki, you should just be able to add an entry in the debian grub2 to /boot/grub/core.img of ubuntu's grub, and it will load ubuntu's grub when you select it
[00:53] <Trek> raden_work, you can install multiple packages at once in one command...
[00:53] <trism> philipwnz: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Grub2#Chainloading_GRUB2_from_GRUB
[00:53] <Trek> raden_work, like this:
[00:53] <Out_Cold> raden_work, sudo apt-get install file1 file2 file3
[00:54] <Trek> raden_work: sudo apt-get install packageOne packageTwo packageThree
[00:54] <jrib> raden_work: or if you want some sort of root shell, read the link ubottu is about to send you about « sudo -i »
[00:54] <Out_Cold> Trek, :p
[00:54] <Trek> raden_work: and so on and so forth
[00:54] <jrib> !sudo > raden_work
[00:54] <Trek> Out_Cold: :P back at you
[00:54] <Dabian> I think raden_work prefers to work with a root shell, nothing we can do. :))
[00:55] <Trek> i mean, sure I have a root login on my comp, but thats because I needed it to install the server software through the GUI (I don't really like CLI :P)
[00:55] <narendra> bazhang: hi sorry to disturb you, I have just made a script to download .deb files and package that into a single installable unit - have a look http://lug-iitd.posterous.com/project-deb-bundle-input-needed-zeroth-versio
[00:55] <Dabian> Out_Cold: I guess I'll have to accept that my DVD-night is ruined, lol.
[00:55] <jrib> Trek: you can, but it's not really necessary at all
[00:56] <narendra> Anybody here to reveiw this article on zipping .deb files for custom installation http://lug-iitd.posterous.com/project-deb-bundle-input-needed-zeroth-versio
[00:56] <Trek> jrib: I made a statement, I know its not really necessary.  But the server is my desktop box, so... yeah, I need to be able to use it :P
[00:56] <Out_Cold> i always just sudo -i
[00:56] <Flashlite> I'm gonna have dual boot soon
[00:57] <terminhell> i forget ubuntu makes root login pretty hard to do
[00:57] <Flashlite> I had no Computer for 7 months  erg
[00:57] <jrib> Trek: you don't *need* a root password set
[00:57] <Out_Cold> terminhell, it because it's so easy for noobs to use root to break their sys
[00:58] <Out_Cold> and ubuntu is noob #1 choice of OS
[00:58] <teddymills> what are some common uses for a Ubuntu cloud?
[00:58] <Trek> jrib: i know that, PLEASE cease telling me this... i know theres no need for root, but oh well I have it
[00:58] <Flashlite> I like it b/c its stable thank yu very much
[00:58] <terminhell> Out_Cold: true, im using Archlinux myself, but after feeling tied down by too many restrictions of buntu i moved on. but i like to help anyways =D
[00:58] <Out_Cold> teddymills, multiple computers working as one
[00:58] <Dabian> Thanks for the help ... depressing result, but thanks anyhow.
[00:59] <Out_Cold> teddymills, would probably be good for CUDA
[00:59] <teddymills> What are some common uses for a Ubuntu Cloud?
[00:59] <Flashlite> a cloud is what they used to find really large prime number isn't it?
[00:59] <Out_Cold> CUDA is used to do huge calcs
[00:59] <Flashlite> CUDA?
[01:00] <coollinuxdude> hello there ubuntu people
[01:00] <Flashlite> hello cool dude
[01:00] <`mOOse`> I am an ubuntu mOOse!
[01:00] <coollinuxdude> haha
[01:00] <goddard> will the www-data group be able to access a network if I mount it as user BOB
[01:00] <Flashlite> lets make a gigantic ubuntu cloud and do nothing with it
[01:00] <terminhell> goddard: depends on existing permissions
[01:00] <Out_Cold> Flashlite, http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_home.html#
[01:00] <teddymills> We have 25 Dual Xeons 1U servers. Finding primes I dont think is a good use. Besides the have much better clouds working on that..What are somre common uses fro a Ubuntu Cloud that Joe Average ISP would use it for?
[01:01] <Flashlite> thnx
[01:01] <coollinuxdude> does anyone here have gnome shell and if so did you have a serious problem where it tells you in the terminal that there is a bug
[01:01] <goddard> terminhel what does that mean
[01:01] <Goliath> hello
[01:01] <andreas> hi
[01:01] <coollinuxdude> terminal
[01:01] <Goliath> i want to update my laptops bios
[01:01] <coollinuxdude> my bad
[01:01] <blakkheim> teddymills: that sounds nice
[01:01] <jrib> goddard: try and see. By default everyone should have read permissions, so yes...
[01:01] <Trek> not here, Goliath
[01:01] <Trek> !ot | Goliath
[01:01] <andreas> someone who speaks german
[01:01] <Flashlite> find primes and youll get rich!
[01:01] <blakkheim> !de
[01:01] <goddard> jrib i have tried a lot of different methods and it isn't working
[01:02] <n16h7f0x> when will firefox 3.6 will get in ubuntu repos?
[01:02] <jrib> goddard: well what are the permissions on the share?
[01:02] <coollinuxdude> ubotu was that directed at me?
[01:02] <terminhell> 3.6 is fexy
[01:02] <goddard> jrib i mounted it in gnome by going to network then opening the shares then right click mount
[01:02] <`mOOse`> yea forget 3.6 if you don't want probs
[01:02] <`mOOse`> wait  for 3.7
[01:03] <n16h7f0x> i see
[01:03] <n16h7f0x> thx
[01:03] <terminhell> new ver of ff is decent
[01:03] <Dabian> ?regionset
[01:03] <terminhell> didnt notice much diff
[01:03] <Flashlite> I wonder if my GPU is CUDA enabled brb
[01:03] <Dabian> regionset?
[01:03] <goddard> jrib i looked at permissions in terminal and it says it is owned by user BOB and is in group BOB
[01:03] <war> is there anyway to get data off a drive that was formatted for mac?
[01:03] <crazyeric> when i upgrade from jaunty to karmic do i have to reinstall alsa as well?
[01:03] <pheonix> #alton
[01:04] <goddard> jrib but i right click the file and it says it cant read the permissions because it is a windows share
[01:04] <marnold> Dabian, please run sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep dvd
[01:04] <jrib> goddard: what does ls -ld /path/to/mount return?
[01:04] <marnold> pastebin output
[01:04] <goddard> jrib i looked at permissions in terminal and it says it is owned by user BOB and is in group BOB
[01:04] <jrib> goddard: that's not the answer to my question :/
[01:04] <goddard> -rwx------
[01:05] <jrib> goddard: then that's why.  Only your user can read, write, and execute
[01:05] <terminhell> hmmm
[01:05] <goddard> jrib how can I add a group?
[01:05] <terminhell> i smell a chmod
[01:05] <jrib> goddard: what kind of mount is this exactly?
[01:05] <subspider> hi
[01:05] <goddard> smb:// to xp
[01:06] <jrib> goddard: ask the samba channel how to change permissions on mounts
[01:06] <Out_Cold> teddymills, i think that it's just used for huge amounts of processing that can be split with workloads... if you don't have a use, offer it for research.
[01:06] <war> is there anyway to get data off a drive that was formatted for mac?
[01:06] <goddard> jrib you dont know?
[01:06] <terminhell> what if he chown'd it to his www-data user
[01:06] <jrib> goddard: no
[01:06] <jrib> goddard: I imagine there is a proper samba-specific way
[01:06] <Dabian> OK .. my problem with the DVD might be related to region locking.
[01:07] <pheonix> how do i get a girl to love me
[01:07] <goddard> jrib i will give it a go but no one is even there really
[01:07] <narendra> hi all, may you look at my article
[01:07] <crazyeric> how do i reinstall alsamixer?
[01:07] <terminhell> pheonix: tell her about your 16th level paladin
[01:07] <crazyeric> i dont seem to have it
[01:08] <Dabian> Is there a way to tell my DVD-drive to discard region restrictions?
[01:08] <terminhell> crazyeric: hit up synaptic
[01:08] <jrib> goddard: the howto documentation linked from their official site has several sections with "permission" in the title that are probably worth reading
[01:08] <terminhell> crazyeric: and search for it. or maybe as easy as sudo apt-get install alsamixer
[01:09] <dsundar> Cant get my bluetooth running on ubuntu 9.10 . cant detect it
[01:09] <crazyeric> remind me never to upgrade ever again
[01:10] <goddard> jrib i will give it a go
[01:10] <dsundar> already got kbluetooth
[01:10] <r0b0tchicken> I just updated my kernel today to 2.6.31-19 (karmic), and my previous lm-sensors output has been lost.    it87 loaded in modprobe , hardware is it8705f,  p4vgm m/b.  Any thoughts?   I realize that it has changed from sensors.conf to sensors3.conf, but I had no trouble until this kernel update, and I do not know enough to know exactly what changed, that I can fix.  Any help appreciated
[01:10] <Max-P> Hi, I have an USB sound card with volume control that doesn't work. It jumps from mute to extra loud at 8%. Any idea? Thanks
[01:11] <renegaid> no matter what I do I ant get ubuntu to look good. the menus look like windows 3.1 but I would like it to look as crisp as windows 7. is that possible?
[01:11] <terminhell> renegaid: look at gnome-look.org for themes
[01:11] <SuperDefenderX> regen: Sounds like a Metacity issue.
[01:12] <tking> Hi, I just upgraded my machine to 2.6.31-19 through the update manager, but when going to install the drivers for my graphics chipset(GMA500/Poulsbo) via the recommended method on the wiki, it says I should hold my kernel version at 2.6.31-14. I'm not sure what is a safe way to do this through synaptic + having it boot up to -14 in grub by default...
[01:12] <renegaid> I tried a bunch of themes. I find the window borders lack definition
[01:12] <terminhell> karmic is still using 2.6.31 kernel?
[01:12] <tking> terminhell: yes
[01:12] <r0b0tchicken> terminhell, yes, 2.6.31-19 as of today.
[01:13] <gormop> hi, can anyone try to access www.openstreetmap.org and tell me if they see the map or only a grey "paypal donation" page? folks at #openstreetmap are asleep, apparently...

[01:19] <melow01> Hi, I just purchased a new HP Voodoo DNA and I need to pickup a USB Wifi... is there one that specifically works well with Ubuntu?

[01:35] <q0k> Hi. I've been using Windows XP for several months. I've already bought it, together with MS Office 2002... Why  should I choose Ubuntu?
[01:35] <astrocub> q0k: do you do gaming?
[01:35] <q0k> No.
[01:35] <astrocub> q0k: are you into anything artistic?
[01:35] <astrocub> creating of art that is
[01:36] <q0k> No.
[01:36] <astrocub> then security
[01:36] <renegaid>
[01:36] <q0k> I sometimes listen to music, sometimes watch videos, do some software development - that is my creative activity
[01:37] <astrocub> q0k: p://pctechmojo.com/20-reason-why-i-switched-to-linux/
[01:37] <crazyeric> q0k why not use both
[01:38] <tmorton> i'm trying to compile some code that uses the kernel headers, but the file it's trying to include isn't in /usr/include/linux (but it is in /usr/src/linux/inlcude/linux)
[01:38] <kevin__> is there a program for ubuntu that can mount iso images and use them like a virtual drive?
[01:38] <nightrid3r> mount
[01:38] <tmorton> yet when I try to compile with -I/usr/include/linux/include, it gives me an error about "expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘__u32’"
[01:38] <tmorton> how am i supposed to force GCC to use the up to date kernel headers?
[01:39] <ZykoticK9> kevin__, if your talking about an actual ISO file then check out loop mounting -- it's built in :)
[01:39] <capron> q0k stay using XP
[01:39] <tmorton> kevin__, mount -o loop disk1.iso /mnt/disk
[01:39] <tmorton> where /mnt/disk is where you want to mount it
[01:39] <faileas> !lucid

[01:41] <kevin__> sorry, I just switched to ubuntu today, how do i open the console?
[01:41] <deever> kevin__: Alt-F2 xterm
[01:41] <deever> f.e.
[01:41] <astrocub> q0k: http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node/1000117
[01:42] <gormop> kevin__, or from the application menu
[01:42] <astrocub> q0k: those are some general reasons why you would want to switch
[01:42] <gormop> its named "terminal" in the german translation
[01:42] <EDinNY> I just replaced the internal vid card with an Nvidea card.  It seems to have the wrong driver.  Where can I find the menu to install the restricted drivers in 9.10?
[01:42] <astrocub> q0k: you don't have to completely switch, you can use both if you want: http://wubi-installer.org/
[01:43] <jargal> my shell console not working: error(* could not access PID file for nmbd)
[01:43] <astrocub> q0k: that will install ubuntu alongside your windows system
[01:43] <q0k>  why should i tryUbuntu?
[01:43] <milktash> hello
[01:44] <jargal> help me my shell console not working: error(* could not access PID file for nmbd)
[01:44] <q0k> mention my name when answering, why should i try Ubuntu?
[01:45] <nightrid3r> q0k: why not ?
[01:45] <gormop> q0k, because you want to? ;)
[01:45] <faileas> q0k: well, why do you want to try something other than what you're running now?
[01:45] <milktash> I have a panel which used to have a button to show my available wireless connection I mistakenly removed it. I cant find it to add it back or any app in my system that allows me to view available connections
[01:45] <ZykoticK9> q0k, this is offtopic for this channel, perhaps ask the same question in #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:45] <jargal> help me my shell console not working: error(* could not access PID file for nmbd)
[01:45] <q0k> i don't want to try all linuxes i'm serious
[01:45] <milktash> i presume it is network-manager
[01:46] <milktash> but cant find the damn thing
[01:46] <deever> q0k: try it or let it be...it's a bit a futile question...;)
[01:46] <milktash> how do i open it in terminal
[01:46] <milktash> ?
[01:46] <gormop> milktash, i like "wicd" waaay better than the network-manager
[01:46] <faileas> milktash: try starting 'nm-applet' from the run menu or terminal (iirc)
[01:46] <hyperstream> !repeat jargal

[01:47] <jargal> ok
[01:47] <CAPcap> i have removed kde by the instructions under !puregnome but I still have a Kubuntu loading screen on start up and it takes forever. how do get rid of it?
[01:47] <benny_puppy> Does anyoone here use gnumeric?
[01:48] <cfedde> not so often any more.
[01:48] <milktash> cool but if i remove the ubuntu network-manager will it not affect anything? or can I install wicd while network is still installed?
[01:49] <hyperstream> jargal, what command are you running? or are you trying to open a terminal ?
[01:49] <ZykoticK9> milktash, MANY people prefer wicd over Network Manager, but understand that this channel supports Network Manager...
[01:50] <gormop> milktash, it *should* not destroy anything to remove network-manager and then install wicd, at least it didnt for me, but i had a LAN cable attached at the time
[01:50] <benny_puppy> I have a cell with a formula in it and it shows a #DIV/0! (divide by zero) error message because I have not filled out the other cells. How do I get rid of the error message so I do not see it?
[01:51] <hyperstream> jargal, ?
[01:51]  * gormop dons protective goggles for supporting wicd ;(
[01:51]  * gormop erm... ;)
[01:52] <gormop> well, good night everybody
[01:52] <renegaid> can I run a windows vm in ubuntu?
[01:52] <milktash> thanks
[01:52] <sebsebseb> renegaid: yes
[01:52] <renegaid> what program?
[01:52] <sebsebseb> renegaid: as long as you got enough RAM and such
[01:53] <ZykoticK9> renegaid, VirtualBox is popular
[01:53] <renegaid> I have too much ram
[01:53] <daftykins> renegaid: virtualbox / vmware / etc
[01:53] <sebsebseb> renegaid: Virtualbox is good, get it from website/webserver if want USB support, otherwise the open source version in repo is fine
[01:53] <renegaid> vmware is free for linux?
[01:53] <milktash> so if I remove network-manager to install wicd will I maintain my current connection?
[01:53] <sebsebseb> renegaid: Virtualbox has two versions both are free as in price
[01:53] <sebsebseb> !virtualbox | renegaid
[01:54] <sebsebseb> renegaid: VMware player and server are free as in price, the other versions are paid for
[01:54] <Nighthawk82> now using mythbuntu is tehre anyway to have it run smoother with the channels using Notebook for it
[01:54] <sebsebseb> renegaid: that factoid should get changed a bit really,  and by non-free they mean as in software freedom
[01:54] <sebsebseb> !freedom | renegaid
[01:55] <milktash> I got this after entering  nm-applet : ** (nm-applet:3787): WARNING **: <WARN>  applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service as it is already taken.  Return: 3
[01:55] <scap_> Has anyone heard of a problem where fdisk and cfdisk say I have a partition on a disk (i.e. /dev/sda1 should be there) but /dev/sda1 doesn't exist
[01:55] <milktash> what does that mean?
[01:55] <bigtom21485> if anyone knows how to overclock a linux-based desktop running ubuntu 9.10, that'd be great
[01:56] <scap_> milktash: who?
[01:56] <faileas> overclocking is a hardware thing i think
[01:56] <Darkben> overclocking is a hardware thing
[01:56] <faileas> milktash: it means that nm-applet is already running
[01:57] <kevin__> when i try to run a .exe file, i right click it, and then select "open with wine windows program loader" ubuntu seems to ]
[01:57] <bigtom21485> lol ive seen it done mildly with software in windows, but linux im not sure about.  and yes if i really wanna fast i gotta up my hardware but i was just curious
[01:57] <kevin__> start the program, but then it quits
[01:57] <milktash> ok so how do i make it open the app for me to see? seeing how i lost it from my panel?
[01:57] <sebsebseb> renegaid: Virtualbox is rather straight forward, but  here's a tip when it comes to  creating the virtual hard disk, use the default dynamically expanding and put like 40GB as the size,  that's just size the vm thinks it has
[01:57] <histo> bigtom21485: what type of hardware?
[01:58] <bigtom21485> athalon x64 2 ghz
[01:58] <bigtom21485> dual-core
[01:58] <bigtom21485> dell e531...cheat computer but prolly has some potential

[01:59] <crazyeric> does anyone know how to reroute the sound from the phono plug to HDMI, it works in xbmc but all other apps the sound comes out of the phono jack

[02:00] <jolaren> Hello. I'm trying to install ubuntu server form usb.. but it keeps saying Could not find kernel image: Linux boot:
[02:00] <sebsebseb> kevin__: which program?
[02:00] <sebsebseb> !server | jolaren
[02:00] <Nighthawk82> how can i make mythtv run the tv channels smoothly without crashing when running on a notebook?
[02:00] <milktash> How do I open an already running app from the terminal?
[02:00] <j0hndoe> question about docks for ubuntu. im lookin for one that works w/o a composite manager like compiz. i have to disable compiz so i can remote into 9.10 (known bug). so i have to disable it fairly often. i know docky requies this. i think awn does as well. so there are the 2 major/good docks. anyone recommend anything else?
[02:00] <bullgard> '~$ sudo mount -o loop -t squashfs /home/detlef/Naturwissenschaften/Mathematik/sage-4.3.1.sqfs  /usr/local/sage-4.3.1/ ; mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock'. What did I do wrongly?
[02:01] <jolaren> sebi`; I know of this... I'm trying to install the server.. the iso.. I've installed a dousin of servers before this
[02:01] <sebsebseb> jolaren: ok, but #ubuntu-server is where you should probably be asking really
[02:02] <melow01> Are there any Wifi brands that are more linux-friendly? Linksys, Netgear, D-Link?
[02:02] <sebsebseb> melow01: good question
[02:02] <crazyeric> does anyone know how to reroute the sound from the phono plug to HDMI, it works in xbmc but all other apps the sound comes out of the phono jack
[02:02] <histo> melow01: it depends more on chipset
[02:02] <j0hndoe> crazyeric: give it a rest
[02:02] <histo> melow01: than brand
[02:03] <melow01> sebsebseb, histo oh ok
[02:03] <histo> melow01: intel based chipsets are mostly built right in to kernel. Broadcomm chipsets are a pita because you need the firmware but its easy to install with restricted drivers manager.
[02:03] <sebsebseb> melow01: so you want to buy something that is supported?
[02:04] <nightrid3r> melow01: i use a cheap sweex that works out of the box
[02:04] <melow01> sebsebseb, histo I see.  That helps
[02:04] <faileas> j0hndoe: hmm, cairodock sorta works (it gets a black background when you do) without a composite manager - i use it with xcompmgr mostly though
[02:04] <histo> melow01: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[02:04] <beejeebus> is there a ppa for mono 2.6 for ubuntu 9.10 ?
[02:04] <melow01> sebsebseb, histo, I'm looking at the Ubuntu Help page and trying to make a decision:
[02:04] <melow01> sebsebseb, histo, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[02:05] <sebsebseb> beejeebus: maybe
[02:05] <melow01> sebsebseb, histo, I'll check out the Intel chipset and see where it gets me... thanks!
[02:05] <sebsebseb> beejeebus: why you want it?
[02:05] <histo> melow01: you're going to want somethign that says yes for works out of the box.
[02:05] <milktash> Does anyone know what I need to type into the terminal to open a running applet?
[02:05] <r0b0tchicken> upgraded kernel to 2.6.31-19  lmsensors will not work with my it8705F, used to show fan1/2 speeds, and temp 1/2/3,  (p4vgm motherboard), worked fine up until kernel update, now will not work.  Any ideas?
[02:05] <beejeebus> sebsebseb: monodevelop 2.2
[02:05] <histo> melow01: that is for hassle free. The others will work with some user interaction
[02:06] <kevin__> when i try to run a exe under wine, i get a module not found error
[02:06] <blakkheim> kevin__: /join #winehq
[02:06] <CAPcap> i have removed kde by the instructions under !puregnome but I still have a Kubuntu loading screen on start up and it takes forever. how do get rid of it?
[02:06] <melow01> histo, I've got a couple machines running Ubuntu and my netbook was having issues detecting the Wifi so I figured for my desktop computer... I may as well research the subject before buying something off the shelf
[02:07] <blakkheim> CAPcap: look through your installed packages for kde stuff and get rid of them
[02:07] <drhe|skt> hello all. i just tried to format a new hard drive. i tried to format to ext3.
[02:07] <melow01> histo, my netbook (HP Mini 311) came with a Broadcom Wifi and I still have yet to configure it
[02:07] <CAPcap> blakkheim like in synaptic? k thanks
[02:07] <Dr_Willis> CAPcap:  thats just a usplash graphics i imagine.   its possible some usplash files dident get removed properly
[02:07] <r0b0tchicken> melow01, have you tried the netbook remix on your netbook?  acer aspire one, picked up the wifi right off the bat
[02:07] <drhe|skt> this is the output after i type "df"
[02:07] <drhe|skt> /dev/sda1<PHONE_NUMBER><PHONE_NUMBER>  29570364  98% /media/alpha
[02:07] <drhe|skt> /dev/sdb<PHONE_NUMBER><PHONE_NUMBER>688504   1% /media/bravo
[02:07] <blakkheim> CAPcap: you can use that but i was going to use something better like dpkg+aptitude
[02:07] <melow01> r0b0tchicken, I tried netbook remix and it wouldn't boot via USB
[02:07] <drhe|skt> so the /dev/sdb   <-- i notice it has no 1 behind it. like sdb1. is that okay?
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> !usplash
[02:08] <melow01> r0b0tchicken, I kept getting a blinking cursor when trying to boot
[02:08] <histo> melow01: yeah do you have a network jack?
[02:08] <melow01> r0b0tchicken, Ironically though, Jolicloud worked on my netbook
[02:08] <r0b0tchicken> melow01, :(  dang, i had great luck with it, also put it on a dell inspiron that wouldnt boot with regular ubuntu.    also , 9.04 nbr i like a LOT more than 9.10 nbr
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> drhe|skt, /dev/sdb did you format the drive without creating a partition?  it is possible to do it actually, NOT a good idea I'd imagine.
[02:08] <melow01> histo, yes, I have NICs on all my machines
[02:08] <histo> melow01: you can get it working with a thumb drive if you don't have internet access with a wired connection
[02:09] <sebsebseb> beejeebus: uhmm  not sure why want to make Mono apps,  some people really don't like Mono,  and their are other ways to make software :)  oh and I thinik #mono might exist
[02:09] <histo> melow01: the broadcomm just needs the firmware installed. There are howtos on the forums for how to get it going if you have no way of getting online with the pc.
[02:09] <drhe|skt> ZykoticK9, i think. i can tell you the command i used. also, that drive is brand new. just installed it today. let me get that command i used. hold a min
[02:09] <melow01> r0b0tchicken, Its been a while since I troubleshot it, but I just remembered why Netbook Remix wouldn't boot.  It was because of the Broadcom Wifi card somehow interferring
[02:09] <beejeebus> sebsebseb: $dayjob. thanks, i'll try #mono
[02:09] <drhe|skt> sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb
[02:10] <sebsebseb> beejeebus: maybe better to use something else though to make software :)
[02:10] <sebsebseb> beejeebus: I mean probably better to
[02:10] <r0b0tchicken> melow01, that is odd, i thought they had all the wifi card drivers in the nbr... :(  dang.  what do you run on it now? still having wifi issues?
[02:10] <histo> !broadcom | melow01
[02:10] <melow01> histo, thanks, I've been using Jolicloud now for a couple months and everything works ok for now
[02:10] <histo> melow01: right in there is how to do it without internet access.
[02:10] <agent47> hello can anyone help me to install network manager applet in my ubuntu genome 9.10
[02:10] <beejeebus> sebsebseb: sure, once i find something else to pay my mortgage
[02:11] <sebsebseb> beejeebus: oh you got a paid job making Mono apps?
[02:11] <ZykoticK9> drhe|skt, you are suppose to create a partition first, either with fdisk from cli or using gparted GUI app.  -- you should probably create the partition and reformat
[02:11] <melow01> histo, yeah, I remember  finding that link a month or so ago and doing some troubleshooting but still couldn't get UNR running from USB
[02:12] <melow01> histo, one solution was to physically remove the Wifi card from the machine and then UNR would boot
[02:12] <sebsebseb> melow01: histo uhmm  broadcom is not good according to this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays/01232010/ChoosingHardwareThatWorks
[02:12] <melow01> histo, I may need to spend some more time with it
[02:12] <drhe|skt> ZykoticK9, well i am connected through terminal. this is like a minimal install. so gparted gui i can do with a live iso. but i want the experience of doing it from the command prompt.
[02:12] <bullgard> '~$ sudo mount -o loop -t squashfs /home/detlef/Naturwissenschaften/Mathematik/sage-4.3.1.sqfs  /usr/local/sage-4.3.1/ ; mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock'. What is wrong in this command?
[02:12] <Ashfire908> Hi, I'm wondering, what are the two games on here? http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/910features    Under Play games, the one on the left and the one bottom center.
[02:12] <hodanlo> where's the sound contol for unbuntu 9.10?
[02:12] <Dr_Willis> drhe|skt:  the 'fdisk' command lets you do it then. :)
[02:12] <ZykoticK9> drhe|skt, "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb"
[02:13] <hodanlo> Where's the sound controller for unbuntu 9.10?
[02:14] <Ashfire908> hodanlo: Right click the speaker in the notification area anD click Sound Preferences?
[02:14] <drhe|skt> hrmmm. you have a tut for that? fdisk
[02:15] <hodanlo> Ashfire908, That disappeared.
[02:15] <drhe|skt> im googliing now
[02:15] <klappi> drhe|skt: man fdisk shows the tutorial
[02:15] <histo> drhe|skt: cfdisk is a pretty straight forward partitioner
[02:15] <Ashfire908> hodanlo: System -> Preferences -> Sound
[02:15] <edbian> I'm trying to set up vsftpd.  How can I make it so that when my local user uploads files that they are 0666 file permissions?
[02:15] <pheonix> how do i make a source code?
[02:15] <renegaid> is there anything for ubuntu to convrt video
[02:15] <histo> renegaid: there are tons of apps
[02:15] <histo> renegaid: ffmpeg is fast
[02:16] <pheonix> how do i make a source code?
[02:16] <pbla> bla
[02:16] <hodanlo> Ashfire908, I'm using ubuntu 9.10 from a usb. I have sound. My sound control icon disappeared. When i try to access "sound" from System>Preferences>Sound... I get a window that says "waiting for sound system to respond" How do i repair it?
[02:16] <Ashfire908> pheonix: usally ./configure  then  make
[02:16] <histo> hodanlo: open a terminal
[02:16] <pheonix> ashfire908: and do i do this through terminal?
[02:16] <ZykoticK9> renegaid, avidemux is a popular GUI video converter
[02:16] <Ashfire908> pheonix: Uh, yeah.
[02:17] <histo> hodanlo: sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[02:17] <pheonix> what do i type to make a source code just anything?
[02:17] <hodanlo> histo, i got it open
[02:17] <Ashfire908> pheonix: Wait, define "make source code"?
[02:17] <Ashfire908> s/?/.
[02:17] <histo> pheonix: what are you trying to do exactly?
[02:18] <hodanlo> histo, it says "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions"
[02:18] <klappi> renegaid: what do you want to do exactly?
[02:18] <Ashfire908> histo: you have to walk him through killing pluseaudio and then running it.
[02:19] <pheonix> #!/usr/bin/perl
[02:19] <pheonix> print "Hello World.\n";
[02:19] <ubuntuser> how do i get ihe compiz icon in my system tools?
[02:19] <CAPcap> is it possible to view only installed packages in synaptic, or do i have to use another method to easily see what all i have?
[02:19] <pheonix> type this in to geedit
[02:19] <pheonix> and save as hello.pl
[02:19] <ZykoticK9> hodanlo, if you want to restart pulse try "killall -9 pulseaudio && pulse-session"
[02:19] <blakkheim> CAPcap: dpkg --get-selections
[02:19] <pheonix> go tto terminal type perl hello.pl
[02:19] <pheonix> how do i make that actually make sound
[02:19] <pheonix> cause you have to edit the source code to make it do what you want
[02:19] <pheonix> correct?
[02:19] <Dr_Willis> CAPcap:  synaptic has a feature to show installed packages
[02:19] <CAPcap> blakkheim, thanks
[02:20] <CAPcap> Dr_Willis, what is it?
[02:20] <Dr_Willis> CAPcap:  thers a button in synaptic to show installed packages.. explore the tool
[02:20] <sebsebseb> histo: he has gone, good link I gave,  what I put isn't a quote of what it says
[02:20] <histo> hodanlo: try sudo killall pulseaudio
[02:20] <histo> hodanlo: then sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart
[02:20] <Guest15593> saludos desde ecuador
[02:20] <Ashfire908> pheonix: Sorry but #ubuntu isn't for teaching people to program... And I don't know how to do anything sound related in perl.
[02:21] <blakkheim> pheonix: /join #perl
[02:21] <goddard> geirha got it finally!!!! jrib
[02:22] <CAPcap> Dr_Willis, i dont see it. but thanks anyways
[02:22] <histo> hodanlo: actually scratch that killall pulseaudio then you can start it with hitting alt+F2 and typing pulseaudio
[02:22] <slyco> hi
[02:22] <Guest37046> hi
[02:23] <drhe|skt> guys. guys. what if i do this instead.

[02:23] <slyco> im looking for a book on c socket programming wats a good one
[02:23] <brandon_oma_692> hi everyone
[02:23] <drhe|skt> just add that 1 at the end.
[02:23] <Peterpan12> kevin:application>accessories>terminal; it's a bad translation i think because i'm french.
[02:24] <Peterpan12> lol:i'm tired,sorry
[02:24] <Ashfire908> Peterpan12: "applications" translation's fine.
[02:24] <Dr_Willis> drhe|skt:  you need to partion the disk first so there is a  sdb1
[02:24] <brandon_oma_692> Im new to ubuntu. I have my ipod working and am getting the basics but my supertux does not work properly. any help?
[02:25] <drhe|skt> okay. i think i found  A good tutorial.
[02:25] <hodanlo> histo, sudo killall pulseaudio        pulseaudio: no process found   sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart   * PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions
[02:26] <Peterpan12> Ashfire908:thanks
[02:28] <chelz> brandon_oma_692: please provide more information
[02:28] <brandon_oma_692> thanks chelz what info do you need and how do i get it?
[02:28] <chelz> brandon_oma_692: "does not work properly" is very vague
[02:29] <hodanlo> histo, hit alt F2, typed pulseaudio. nothing happened
[02:30] <brandon_oma_692> chelz screen goes dark gray with a pointer then dissapears with a beep sound
[02:30] <bullgard> '~$ sudo mount -o loop -t squashfs /home/detlef/Naturwissenschaften/Mathematik/sage-4.3.1.sqfs  /usr/local/sage-4.3.1/ ; mount: /dev/loop0: can't read superblock'. What is wrong in this command?
[02:31] <chelz> brandon_oma_692: have you tried other similar games? do they have a similar problem?
[02:31] <brandon_oma_692> pacman works
[02:32] <brandon_oma_692> chelz if i go to the drop downs the icon for supertux shows as a ? mark
[02:33] <hodanlo> I'm using ubuntu 9.10 from a usb. I have sound. My sound control icon disappeared. When i try to access "sound" from System>Preferences>Sound... I get a window that says "waiting for sound system to respond" How do i repair it?
[02:33] <Gnea> bullgard: you might need to use losetup
[02:34] <Gnea> bullgard: or try without the -t squashfs option
[02:34] <chelz> brandon_oma_692: did you install from the 9.10 repos?
[02:34] <zetheroo> I just had to ask about this ... if there is a patch for the kernel which enables some critical function which the generic kernel does not, why would this patch be incorporated into the actual kernel so that the fix is available without the need for a third party source and additional updates etc !?
[02:35] <zetheroo> sorry .. I mean to say "why would this patch NOT be incorporated...."
[02:35] <brandon_oma_692> in terminal sudo apt-get install supertux i think is how i got it not really sure
[02:35] <chelz> zetheroo: reasons for patches not getting included and getting cluded into the linux kernel are handled totally on a case-by-case basis
[02:36] <zetheroo> chelz: that is informative but not really helpful
[02:36] <bullgard> Gnea: I am not familiar with 'losetup'. Do you mean this: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Loopback-Encrypted-Filesystem-HOWTO.html?
[02:36] <brandon_oma_692> Chelz it sits up next to firefox and help as a red do not enter type sign
[02:36] <r0b0tchicken> Does anyone have any experience with ITE IT8705F Super IO Sensors an lmsensors with 9.10?  upgraded kernel today and it will not pick up my sensors. submitted a bug, everything was good2go before the kernel update...
[02:37] <chelz> zetheroo: you might have better luck referring to a specific instance of patches not getting accepted. the kernelnewbies website has a ton of info around all of this
[02:37] <zetheroo> chelz: what must one do to get the patch incorporated into the kernel?
[02:37] <bullgard> Gnea: Trying without the '-t squashfs' option obtains the same result.
[02:38] <hodanlo> I want to use my sound control? how do it access the control?
[02:38] <zetheroo> chelz: I am actually referring to one in particular .. but I am sure there are many more which are lingering on launchpad
[02:38] <chelz> zetheroo: http://kernelnewbies.org/UpstreamMerge
[02:38] <Gnea> bullgard: kind of, but without the encryption part
[02:39] <zetheroo> chelz: so there is nothing "automatic" about the process?
[02:39] <darkhole> Hi guys, my first time on this channel, always on regional channels of Ubuntu.
[02:39] <darkhole> I need some help...
[02:39] <bullgard> Gnea: Thank you for commenting. I think I will need more snooping.
[02:39] <chelz> brandon_oma_692: run "supertux" from the commandline and please pastebin the output
[02:40] <chelz> zetheroo: no, software development is usually all quite manual. especially when changing really established projects.
[02:40] <zetheroo> chelz: I had been thinking that launchpad was somehow a breeding ground for bug fixes and such which were then sorted though and submitted to the kernel devs
[02:40] <keith-> so i have sun-java6-jdk and it seems eclipse just installed openjdk do those two not conflict at all?

[02:57] <CAPcap> chelz again not what im really looking for. also thats antiquated.

[02:59] <chelz> brandon_oma_692: yes. what's the output of "uname -a" (without the quotes)
[03:00] <chelz> hodanlo: right click on the panel, click "Add to Panel..." and type in       volume control
[03:00] <subspider> hi plz i can see movies they have color like blue plz help
[03:00] <hodanlo> chelz, i tried that.
[03:00] <Travis-42> how fast does ubuntu run when you run it off of a usb flash drive?
[03:01] <brandon_oma_692> chelz Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-17-generic #54-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 10 16:20:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[03:01] <chelz> Travis-42: faster than running off of a CD but slower than running off of a hard drive
[03:01] <faultyground> Im having trouble using ssh.  Two linux boxes on a LAN, but I cannot ssh from one to the other.  "Connection refused"
[03:01] <subspider> plz some help me
[03:01] <subspider> i can't see movies
[03:01] <chelz> faultyground: could be a firewall issue
[03:01] <Travis-42> chelz: much slower than a hard drive, or might it actually be an acceptable speed?
[03:02] <chelz> subspider: all of your movies are tinted blue?
[03:02] <subspider> yes
[03:02] <chelz> Travis-42: try installing ubuntu to a usb drive with Unetbootin and try it out.
[03:02] <Talon_> chelz, thats just for using sudo in a console, I think i managed to achieve what I wanted, I went to /usr/share/polkit-1/actions and replaced every occurance of "auth_admin_keep" with "yes" in every .policy file and now i have no nags :)
[03:02] <faultyground> chelz: I dont believe there is a firewall running on either box, and my router shouldnt be filtering local traffic
[03:02] <chelz> Talon_: alright. but for the record that's very dangerous.
[03:02] <subspider> yes chelz
[03:02] <soreau> subspider: Which graphics card do you have?
[03:02] <Travis-42> alright, thanks chelz
[03:03] <subspider> nvidia 8800
[03:03] <abumaia> if my iptables are purged, and my computer is in the router's dmz, is there anything else in ubuntu that will block certain ports from being opened?
[03:03] <hodanlo> best way to do it i assume is to delete ubuntu 9.10. format the drive and reinstall it for the 4th time
[03:03] <hodanlo> seems like 9.10 is unstable
[03:03] <Talon_> chelz: how so?
[03:04] <keith-> so i have the ubuntu drum sound everytime i open a tab in google-chrome. how do i turn that off?
[03:04] <brandon_oma_692> chelz does this work? http://pastebin.com/f597fa8a3
[03:04] <MidasManchu> Hey mates, is it possible to setup Ubuntu One on Ubuntu Server?
[03:04] <chelz> Talon_: everyday use shouldn't require typing in an administrator password. a lot of times you can check a box that says "remember password" but disabling the prompts entirely can lead to breaking ubuntu.
[03:05] <chelz> brandon_oma_692: thanks. got it
[03:06] <Talon_> chelz: whats the difference? either way i always entered my password, so if it was something malicious meant to harm my system, i would have entered my password reguardless.. its just a wasted step in my opinion.

[03:12] <chelz> brandon_oma_692: no, we'll add that to the main file one sec
[03:13] <Talon_> chelz: will removing polkit-1 be as effective as modifying all the .policy files?
[03:13] <rd1381> when i enter sudo bash i get a a another account bash  that that account doesnt work on dpkg
[03:14] <rd1381> i mean when i type "dpkg -i "in the given bash it says "dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege"
[03:14] <r0b0tchicken> Shazam do you know the name of the program you are trying to kill?   will      killall nameofprogram     not work?
[03:15] <chelz> Talon_: probably not a good idea to remove core system parts
[03:15] <rd1381> but with same bash i can use it with apt-get
[03:15] <Talon_> chelz: ok, well i'm happy with the current solution then, so far nothing's asked me for a password

[03:28] <rd1381> it ask for my pass then root pass
[03:28] <brandon_oma_692> chelz yeppers
[03:28] <rd1381> sry
[03:29] <rd1381> no just my pass
[03:29] <JULinuxUser> chelz http://pastebin.com/m50c23f1b
[03:29] <r0b0tchicken> can't rd1381 just boot to the grub recovery terminal, and set new root password?
[03:29] <rd1381> but stiill no access to dpkg
[03:29] <rd1381> r0b0tchicken> i installed a new ubunut to fix these account managment  issues of stupid ubuntu
[03:29] <crazyeric> does anyone know how to get all sound routed to HDMI instead of the usual phono, it works fine in XBMC thru hdmi but everything else (youtube, etc) plays from the phono
[03:30] <rd1381> r0b0tchicken> honestly i can afford to do another boot :)
[03:30] <chelz> JULinuxUser: sudo apt-get remove frei0r-plugins
[03:30] <j0hndoe> question about docks for ubuntu. im lookin for one that works w/o a composite manager like compiz. i have to disable compiz so i can remote into 9.10 (known bug). so i have to disable it fairly often. i know docky requies this. i think awn does as well. so there are the 2 major/good docks. anyone recommend anything else?
[03:30] <auril> I'm in the ubuntu recovery shell, and I accidentally exited the 'gui' program (it has options to 'fix x server', 'run dpkg' etc) - how do I get back to the gui screen?
[03:30] <r0b0tchicken> rd1381...lol    if you are comfy with it, you can go to the GRUB menu (i take it you are on 9.10)  and get into the recovery terminal...and set the passwords for root there just like you forgot the password. I have a link here close that will give you the steps if you'd like....
[03:31] <chelz> rd1381: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword
[03:31] <chelz> r0b0tchicken: i think that's what you're talking about
[03:31] <r0b0tchicken> chelz link will work, yes :) you type faster chelz :)
[03:31] <chelz> j0hndoe: you might like Gnome Do
[03:31] <j0hndoe> gnome do isnt a dock tho?
[03:31] <auril> nm ^ that fixed me up
[03:31] <j0hndoe> docky is awesome. just cant use it w/o compiz :(
[03:32] <soreau> j0hndoe: look into AWN
[03:32] <xangua> j0hndoe: then activate metacity composite
[03:32] <j0hndoe> hrm
[03:32] <auril> gnome do is quite nice
[03:32] <soreau> !info avant-window-navigator
[03:32] <chelz> j0hndoe: http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+docks - top 5 results
[03:32] <j0hndoe> heh
[03:32] <j0hndoe> im aware but most require a composite manager
[03:32] <rd1381> rd1381: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword this is for a regular user nto root
[03:32] <j0hndoe> i cant remove w/ that enabled
[03:32] <j0hndoe> remote*
[03:32] <rd1381> and i tried that  and it asked for root pass
[03:33] <bastid_raZor> rd1381: root should not have a password to begin with.
[03:33] <r0b0tchicken> rd1381, if that doesn't work from grub, something else is srsly wrong.....
[03:33] <j0hndoe> oh well, was hoping some would know of one off the top of their head. i'll try awn w/ metacity composite manger, maybe it'll work *shrug*
[03:33] <j0hndoe> thx guys
[03:33] <chelz> rd1381: in that terminal do       passwd -l root
[03:33] <Gabriel_M> i am trying to create a chat channel using X-chat.  I used: /msg chanserv register #Dream_Act_2010 nysylc National_Network and i get this message "ChanServ does NOT exist on this net!"
 i know but i changed that and it became hell after that
[03:33] <j0hndoe> Gabriel_M: /join #chan
[03:33] <j0hndoe> ?
 passwd: Permission denied.
[03:34] <wooby> hello, does anyone know where i might download a 9.10 amd64 .img?
[03:34] <wooby> thanks in advance
[03:34] <chelz> rd1381: you are doing this from recovery mode?
[03:34] <Shazam> I just found a bunch of data I thought I lost, important to me. I realize that I'm running with effectively *no* backups of about 100 GB of critical data
[03:34] <rd1381> no
[03:34] <chelz> rd1381: did you backup your sudoers file?
[03:34] <chelz> rd1381: do it from recovery mode
[03:34] <chelz> rd1381: do it from recovery mode
[03:34] <Shazam> what's an effective backup mechanism?
 how many times i should say this
[03:35] <chelz> Shazam: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem
 it NOT sudoers fault
[03:35] <chelz> rd1381: ok. reboot into recovery mode.
 it was working before and it not changed
[03:35] <koshari> Shazam i like to use rsync
[03:35] <rd1381> i am just asking why ubuntu askes for root pas?
[03:36] <klappi> koshari: i like rsnapshot (uses rsync)
[03:36] <Shazam> koshari: reading previous comment, and looking into rsync as well.
[03:36] <chelz> wooby: http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download - make sure you click on " 64-bit version"
[03:36] <Shazam> klappi: appreciate the thought
[03:36] <wooby> chelz: thank you, however i am looking for a .img and not a .iso i believe... i'm trying to write the installer image to a USB stick, not a CD
[03:37] <chelz> rd1381: because the account has been enabled somehow. to disable it running "sudo passwd -l root" from the recovery mode will fix it
[03:37] <auril> wooby, that can be done with a .iso
[03:37] <chelz> wooby: download Unetbootin
[03:37] <auril> wooby, ^
 ok i try that and report back
[03:37] <Privoxy> Afternoon good gents
[03:37] <r0b0tchicken> wooby there is a command/prog to go from iso to img, also  but yes unetbootin very handy
[03:37] <fastautos> whre do you go in ubuntu to find out what your processor, memory and everything else is?
[03:38] <bastid_raZor> fastautos: sudo lshw
[03:38] <Mike_lifeguard> What command line program can I use to play .ogg/.oga files?
[03:38] <r0b0tchicken> fastautos type     cat /proc/cpuinfo   for your cpu    and   free    for your RAM
[03:38] <wooby> r0b0tchicken: thank you, is there something like unetbootin for macs? i downloaded the amd64 iso on os X
[03:38] <auril> Mike_lifeguard, vlc ?
[03:38] <chelz> fastautos: open System Monitor. it's on the main tab
[03:38] <Mike_lifeguard> auril: that's not a command line program O__o
[03:38] <r0b0tchicken> wooby very well might be...let me check for you see if i can help you out
[03:38] <auril> Mike_lifeguard, yes it is ;)
[03:39] <Privoxy> I come to you with a nub question, I have installed ubuntu 9.10 into my second harddrive, (My first is made up of two drives in raid0) so guess you could call it my first, I reboot my system after the install and I end up back in W7... after having a little play around in easyBCD im still unable to get into linux... would love a little help pointing me in the right way
[03:39] <fastautos> thanks
[03:39] <wooby> r0b0tchicken: thanks again, really looking forward to getting this working
[03:39] <klappi> Mike_lifeguard: mp3blaster?
[03:39] <chelz> wooby: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Computer%20used%20to%20make%20USB%20disk - "Mac OS X"
[03:39] <chelz> wooby: it's a lot easier from an ubuntu or windows install
[03:40] <aurilliance> test
[03:40] <wooby> chelz: totally awesome! thank you so much
[03:40] <blankthemuffin> Hey I'm wondering if anybody knows a good app to create a video out of a image slideshow. It only has to be simple but I've tried Imagination and Videoporama and neither work. (The former crops all my images and the latter does not export, preview, anything)
[03:40] <chelz> Privoxy: when you installed ubuntu, did it see the windows install?
[03:41] <Privoxy> no chelz,
[03:41] <valenz> hey
[03:41] <Privoxy> as my windows install is on a software raid, I seem to have always had issues with getting linux to see it
[03:41] <r0b0tchicken> wooby look at this link and scroll down to option 4.  it does say you need an img file   http://www.webupd8.org/2009/04/4-ways-to-create-bootable-live-usb.html
[03:41] <chelz> Privoxy: did grub get installed?
[03:41] <Privoxy> yes
[03:41] <wooby> r0b0tchicken: thanks, it turns out the mac program hdiutil will convert to an .img from an .iso
[03:41] <valenz> you can make with the comand disk part
[03:41] <wooby> so i'm all set :) thanks again
[03:41] <chelz> Privoxy: what boots first, grub or this easybcd?
[03:41] <Privoxy> into its defeat directory (HD,0)
[03:41] <valenz> you format you usb
[03:42] <r0b0tchicken> no problem :)
[03:42] <Privoxy> at the moment, nothing, just windows
[03:42] <Privoxy> im still unable to get into grub
[03:42] <valenz> then you do a Xcopy
[03:42] <aurilliance> ^ lol@ecopunk's nick :P
[03:42] <mobius2> greetings,  i have been reading about setting up a spanned desktop by adding an LCD monitor to my laptop. The laptop is an older Gateway M-275 tablet pc.  Is spanning a desktop across 2 monitors  with the primary  display being the integrated laptop screen?
[03:42] <chelz> Privoxy: how did you get to easybcd?
[03:42] <mobius2> is it possible?
[03:42] <U-b-u-n-t-u> sudo chown -R administrator:users  I tried this command on a folder and it returned chown: invalid user: `administrator:users' what did I do wrong?
[03:42] <Privoxy> within the windows environment?
[03:43] <chelz> mobius2: yes but is either easier or harder depending on your graphics card
[03:43] <macman_> guys i have no sound .. i just removed pusleaudio
[03:43] <wooby> chelz, r0b0tchicken tahnks again for your help, have a great evening
[03:43] <wooby> goodnight
[03:43] <r0b0tchicken> mobious2, did it with my geforce 6200, spanned it across to my television (s-video out), complicated, but yes, possible
[03:43] <bastid_raZor> U-b-u-n-t-u: do you have a user named adminsrator ?
[03:43] <brandon_oma_692> what is some cool stuf to do while learning to use the command line?
[03:43] <cycrosism> How do I get the size ofa folder? When I do df or df -h it lists my whote system
[03:44] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bastid_raZor,  no
[03:44] <mobius2> i noticed that the video driver i'm using is able to see the added  lcd monitor,  however when  I uncheck the "mirror screens" tickbox,  the screens go blank and all i can do is wait for the automatic reversion
[03:44] <Phosis> I second Brandons question...trying to comprehend shell a bit more
[03:44] <blakkheim> cycrosism: du -sh /directory/
[03:44] <rd1381> sigh
[03:44] <rd1381> didnt work
[03:44] <greezmunkey> du -sh /home
[03:44] <chelz> Privoxy: in your BIOS set it to boot the harddrive that ubuntu is on. once you're in ubuntu you can setup grub to see your windows
[03:44] <Gryllida> Hi. I have been using Windows 200 with MS Office 2000 for several years. It means the costs... I write math docs, develop software, watch many videos, listen to music, etc. What can you say about me and Ubuntu? Should I have a look at it using live CD? Or is it of no sense?
[03:44] <cycrosism> blakkheim: Ty
[03:44] <rd1381> chelz
[03:44] <rd1381> it didnt work
[03:44] <Privoxy> thanks chelz il do it now
[03:45] <aurilliance> I tried to update to 8.10, but now every time I start I get a shell, and when I try startx it says it cannot find a screen :( ???
[03:45] <bastid_raZor> U-b-u-n-t-u: administrator needs to be an actual user before you can give permissions to it.

[03:45] <chelz> rd1381: what happened?
[03:45] <mobius2> does the fact that I can at least SEE the odded  monitor mean I am close to  having this doe? perhaps a simple xorg edit or what-not.   I am wondering if this is even possible with this M-275 tablet computer
 nothing
 same as before
[03:45] <chelz> rd1381: somehow root got messed up really badly
[03:46] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bastid_raZor, I am trying to set up a mount on a slave drive and I followed this once before and there was no issue http://tombott.com/Automatically_Mount_Additional_HD_in_Ubuntu_8.10_and_Ubuntu_9.04   ....... but now when I get to the command I showed you it wont allow me to add users and admins to the folder
 i did what you aid but nothing changed here
 i know that
 thats why i say ubunut is stupid
[03:46] <chelz> !hate | rd1381
[03:46] <r0b0tchicken> mobius2, close is a relative word...like as in...we are "close" to the moon, or close to a hand grenade... :P  but yes, seeing the monitor is a good start, im reviewing some things...would you mind posting your type of laptop, and video adapter?
 by disabling root it added a shit load of other problems
[03:46] <bastid_raZor> !fstab | U-b-u-n-t-u follow this guide.
[03:47] <rd1381> :))
[03:47] <rd1381> it not hate
[03:47] <rd1381> its hatred
[03:47] <macman_> guys question .. im on ubuntu and my audio isn't working .. i just removed pulse audio and alasmixer is fine .. should i reboot ?
[03:47] <rd1381> i long for opensuse but it didnt have the repos of ubuntu but now i think i switch back
[03:48] <bastid_raZor> rd1381: you created the problem by enabling root.
[03:48] <rd1381> the funny thing is i can install apps with apt-ht and synaptic but dpkg says i must be superuser
[03:48] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bastid_raZor, I dont need to know any of that I need to know how to add users and administrators to a folder so when I right click I can set permissions on that folder
[03:48] <Gryllida> I don't think it would be good to post my question again, but did anybody just see it?
[03:49] <bastid_raZor> rd1381: then use sudo for root permissions
[03:49] <bastid_raZor> !sudo | rd1381
 wont work on dpkg
[03:49] <jack5463> after i install ubuntu 9.1 should i update it?
[03:49] <r0b0tchicken> bastid_raZor, please explain your reasoning behind that?   the FIRST thing i did with ubuntu was set a root password, so at least there was one there...  are you just saying "for him" that is a bad idea, or for everyone?
[03:49] <bastid_raZor> !root
[03:49] <r0b0tchicken> jack5463, at least change it to security updates and get those...
[03:49] <chelz> rd1381: try to do something with sudo and pastebin all of your terminal after you do it
[03:49] <rd1381> sure
[03:49] <rd1381> what you need?
[03:50] <mobius2> robotchicken I think he simply meant that it's best to leave the default hash  password intact for the root account, as it's more secure....
[03:50] <rd1381> \is ls enough?
[03:50] <bastid_raZor> setting a root password is not supported by #ubuntu and by doing so you negate support here.
[03:50] <roboboy> Anyone have a guide, or some suggestions for how to increase resolution or enable 3D acceleration for an Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 900?
[03:50] <chelz> rd1381: do   sudo passwd -l root
[03:50] <roboboy> right now ubuntu is limiting me to 800x600
[03:50] <jack5463> r0b0tchicken, what are the security problems with ubuntu?
[03:50] <Dr_Willis> roboboy:  thers some forum threads and wiki pages on Intel video chipsets.
[03:50] <rd1381> sudo passwd -l root
[03:50] <rd1381> [sudo] password for rd-admin:
[03:50] <rd1381> passwd: Permission denied.
[03:50] <bastid_raZor> U-b-u-n-t-u: chown is the correct way, but you need a valid user:group
[03:51] <macman_> what is that website that has all the compatble computers ?
[03:51] <macman_> it hink its a wiki
[03:51] <bastid_raZor> rd1381: sudo will ask for your password.. the admin user
[03:51] <chelz> !supportroot | r0b0tchicken
[03:51] <r0b0tchicken> jack5463, not so  much "sec problems" ,but every now and again they will find a "Possible vulnerability", and my advice is at the very least, enable "security updates only", and install them
[03:51] <rd1381> <bastid_raZo yes
[03:51] <chelz> rd1381: please pastebin next time
[03:51] <bastid_raZor> !hardware | macman_ ?

[03:54] <jack5463> is ubuntu 9.04 more stabe than 9.10? i seem like i'm spending alot of time here trying to fix problems with my 9.10

[03:54] <stevenfgsdfg> Does not come installed with Xubuntu from what I can tell :(
 for fun
[03:55] <xangua> stevenfgsdfg: no, ubuntu-one for ubuntu at the moment, i don't know if ohter derivates like mint already have it
 you just assume i am rdadmin
[03:55] <stevenfgsdfg> awww
[03:55] <stevenfgsdfg> Lamesauce
[03:55] <rd1381> it doesnt matter what user i am
[03:55] <stevenfgsdfg> Anyone here recommend ossec?
[03:55] <bastid_raZor> rd1381: yes it does.
[03:55] <rd1381> i cant never run dpkg command
[03:55] <xangua> stevenfgsdfg: but dropbox works with any linux distro
[03:55] <stevenfgsdfg> !dropbox
 plzz dont say what u dont know
[03:56] <rd1381> i use sudo
[03:56] <blankthemuffin> Hey I'm wondering if anybody knows a good app to create a video out of a image slideshow. It only has to be simple but I've tried Imagination and Videoporama and neither work. (The former crops all my images and the latter does not export, preview, anything)
[03:56] <rd1381> but still no luck
[03:56] <chelz> rd1381: just for fun, try changing "runas_default=rd-admin" to "runas_default=root" or remove it
[03:56] <rd1381> ok
[03:56] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bastid_raZor, any time I right click any folder I can set admin and users privileges so why would I need to add user administrator and users?
[03:56] <rd1381> sure
[03:56] <bastid_raZor> rd1381: using sudo you would need to be the user with admin in their group.
[03:56] <rd1381> <bastid_raZor both re admin dude
[03:56] <chelz> rd1381: then try that   "sudo passwd -l root"
[03:56] <roboboy> U-b-u-n-t-u: thanks :)
  sure
[03:56] <jack5463> is Ubuntu 9.04 more stable than 9.10? I'm spending a lot of time here trying to fix problems with my 9.10
[03:57] <Freeaqingme> jack5463, I had the same feeling indeed
[03:57] <Dr_Willis> jack5463:  ive had very few problems with 9.10
[03:57] <U-b-u-n-t-u> roboboy, np
[03:57] <_Tristan> just installed 9.10 and wireless networks don't show up
[03:57] <chelz> _Tristan: i know those as "upgrading pains". just things to be fixed and forgotten.
[03:57] <bastid_raZor> U-b-u-n-t-u: right clicking and using chown are not the exact same. using chown you need an actual user or group that exists
[03:58] <speedxxxcore> I need an app that sees disk I/O in realtime? any ideas?
[03:58] <U-b-u-n-t-u> roboboy, many people were trying to tell me it was a driver and its just a xconf setting
[03:58] <_Tristan> chelz: I didn't upgrade, it was a clean install
[03:58] <jack5463> Dr_Willis, 9.04 has more problems than 9.10?
[03:58] <chelz> _Tristan: metaphorical update then ;)
[03:58] <Inpetto> Hi all, how can I flush all at localhost on port 11211 if Im connected via ssh?
[03:58] <Dr_Willis> jack5463:  cant say i noticed many issues in 9,.04 either
[03:58] <_Tristan> chelz: I suppose. Any idea how to fx it?
[03:58] <_Tristan> fix*
[03:58] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bastid_raZor, the point of me saying that I can right click on other folders and see users and admins wasnt to say that was equal to chown but to say I should be able to add admins and users to a folder then set permissions
[03:59] <rd1381> :))
[03:59] <rd1381> it gets worse by second
[03:59] <rd1381> visudo says visudo: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied
[03:59] <chelz> _Tristan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide
[03:59] <jack5463> Dr_Willis, is ubuntu 9.04 more stabe than 9.10? i seem like i'm spending alot of time here trying to fix problems with my 9.10
[03:59] <chelz> _Tristan: then a similar thing http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-troubleshoot-wireless-network-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[03:59] <chelz> rd1381: edit it from recovery mode
[04:00] <rd1381> sigh
[04:00] <chelz> rd1381: and don't use "sudo" while in recovery mode
[04:00] <rd1381> never mind
[04:00] <bastid_raZor> U-b-u-n-t-u: understood. using chown requires using an actual user .. if user fred does not exist then you can not chown fred file ..
[04:00] <jack5463> Dr_Willis, I'm using ubuntu 9.10 from a usb. I have sound. My sound control icon disappeared from panel. When i try to access "sound" from System>Preferences>Sound... I get a window that says "waiting for sound system to respond" How do i repair it?
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> jack5463:  i found them both stable. I dont recall any issues i had with either one..   The UNR for 9.10 does work better on my AAO howeverf
[04:00] <rd1381> thanks for help
[04:00] <rd1381> i guess i go back to dear suse
[04:00] <chelz> rd1381: don't break your system next time :P
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> jack5463:  sounds liek pulse audio died perhaps.. restart pulse audio. Ive never had souind issues
 ubuntu is fagile not me
[04:01] <bastid_raZor> rd1381: doing unsupported things is the issue. don't be a rebel
 what is a linux if u cant play with it
[04:01] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bastid_raZor, I am not trying to add a user but the option administrator and users so I can set the permissions
[04:01] <U-b-u-n-t-u> =_=
[04:01] <chelz> rd1381: part of playing with something is dealing with it when it breaks. like now. you don't seem to be up for what it takes to fix it though
[04:01] <rd1381> i played suse ragged but always could get back to step one
[04:02] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bastid_raZor, http://tombott.com/Automatically_Mount_Additional_HD_in_Ubuntu_8.10_and_Ubuntu_9.04   <<< I am using this guild which worked on ubuntu 9.04 without adding anything
[04:02] <rd1381> <chel tell me what is my problem and how to fix it and i will.as you saw i tried everything(booting and whatever
[04:02] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bastid_raZor,  I assume the command line is the same in 9.10
[04:02] <sahal> why does gnome take 40 minutes to start?
[04:02] <jack5463> Dr_Willis, I tried sudo killall pulseaudio, sudo /etc/init.d/pulseaudio restart. it didn't do anything
[04:03] <sebsebseb> sahal: logging into Ubuntu you mean?
[04:03] <d6chung> Hi, I'm trying to get wired Ethernet to go up with RTL-8139 but am having difficulty. Anyone have suggestions?
[04:03] <sahal> sebsebseb: yeah
[04:03] <sebsebseb> sahal: Which version 9.10?
[04:03] <chelz> U-b-u-n-t-u: is only one user on the system?
[04:03] <sahal> sebsebseb: no 8.04
[04:03] <sebsebseb> sahal: oh
[04:03] <U-b-u-n-t-u> chelz, yes
[04:03] <sebsebseb> sahal: new install of 8.04 or?
[04:03] <chelz> U-b-u-n-t-u: why not use your own username and group then?
[04:04] <chelz> sahal: you might try xubuntu if you find ubuntu to be too slow
[04:04] <sahal> sebsebseb: gdm loads fine, i can access the ttys. this is a few month old install of 8.04
[04:04] <sebsebseb> sahal: how much RAM?
[04:04] <ubuntu_> alguien habla español
[04:04] <rd1381> ubuntu is still an unreliable and unstable system
[04:04] <sebsebseb> !es  |  ubuntu_
[04:04] <sahal> chelz: the thing is that it was working fine until last week
[04:04] <sahal> when i updated
[04:04] <obiwan_> hh
[04:04] <Dr_Willis> rd1381:  demand a refund?
[04:04] <bastid_raZor> U-b-u-n-t-u: that guide tells you on the first few lines .. User = Administrator ... if your computer does not have a user by the name of administrator then following this guide to the T will not work.. substitute administrator with your user.
[04:04] <obiwan_> oops
[04:04] <chelz> !offtopic | rd1381
[04:04] <ubuntu_> sabes como puedo colocar
[04:04] <ubuntu_> el flash player
[04:04] <jack5463> ya get what you pay for?
 no . just going back to suse. if it had more apps i would never have come to ubunut
[04:05] <ubuntu_> no puedo ver nada
[04:05] <chelz> !es | ubuntu_
[04:05] <sahal> sebsebseb: 256mb
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> rd1381:  problem solved then.. goodby
[04:05] <rd1381> sure thanks
[04:05] <ubuntu_> flash player for ubuntu :?
[04:05] <Dr_Willis> !flash
[04:05] <ubuntu_> thaks
[04:05] <chelz> U-b-u-n-t-u: in that guide, what step are you having trouble with
[04:05] <ubuntu_> thank
[04:05] <sebsebseb> sahal: How much SWAP space?
[04:05] <xangua> ubuntu_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras , it installs adobe flash player, fonts, codecs, etc
[04:06] <chelz> sahal: did you install updates or update ubuntu from say 9.04 to 9.10?
[04:06] <sahal> sebsebseb: ~1gb
[04:06] <roboboy2> does X11 in 9.10 not respond to ctrl-alt-backspace?
[04:06] <sebsebseb> sahal: Also it used to work ok I assume, but it started to be slow to log in after updates?
[04:06] <sahal> chelz: install updates
[04:06] <sahal> yeah
[04:06] <lanzelloth> hi guys
[04:06] <sahal> i mean i'm using it now
[04:06] <chelz> roboboy2: correct. it can be re-enabled.
[04:06] <sahal> its working fine
[04:06] <lanzelloth> the nm-applet is being retarded
[04:06] <sahal> it just took a long while to login
[04:06] <Dr_Willis> !dontzap
[04:06] <roboboy2> ubottu: thanks
[04:06] <sahal> like 40 minutes
[04:06] <sebsebseb> sahal: not sure why it's so slow to log in
[04:06] <U-b-u-n-t-u> bastid_raZor, and chelz  thank you ......... I should have read line 1 lol
[04:06] <nytek_> im having trouble with sound playing a mp4 file in mplayer
[04:06] <lanzelloth> it won't connect to a wireless network given correct password, ecnryption type
[04:07] <bastid_raZor> U-b-u-n-t-u: best of luck :)
[04:07] <nytek_> anybody have any ideas?
[04:07] <U-b-u-n-t-u> its me:users not administrator:users <<< my bad!
[04:07] <U-b-u-n-t-u> thanks bastid_raZor
[04:07] <bastid_raZor> U-b-u-n-t-u: all  part of the learning process. :)
[04:07] <U-b-u-n-t-u> hehe yeah! reading is fundamental
[04:07] <sahal> sebsebseb: i was looking in .xsession-errors it says something about default.ms
[04:07] <sebsebseb> sahal: failing hard disk maybe
[04:08] <sebsebseb> sahal: not sure what that is, how old is the computer?
[04:08] <sahal> sebsebseb: the thing is everything else works fine
[04:08] <sahal> i just installed a new hd a few months ago
[04:08] <sahal> the old one did fail
[04:08] <sahal> lol
[04:08] <sebsebseb> sahal: why are you on 8.04?
[04:08] <sahal> i dunno, its LTS.
[04:08] <xangua> sebsebseb: because it has long term support
[04:09] <sahal> i'm waiting for 10.04
[04:09] <sebsebseb> sahal: ah ha you want to directly upgrade I see
[04:09] <sahal> the next lts to upgrade
[04:09] <lanzelloth> how do I connect to a wireless network that has changed its encryption type??
[04:09] <jack5463> how do i get my sound control icon back that disappeared on panel?
[04:09] <Privoxy> I am now able to boot into grub, where im greeted with the error 15 /boot/grub.conf not found...
[04:09] <zurdo12> hola
[04:10] <lanzelloth> the nm-applet kept kept failing, asking for password and it just kept trying with the old settings
[04:10] <zurdo12> quien habla español
[04:10] <nytek_> does anybody know why sound wouldnt play in either mplayer or vlc with a mp4 file?
[04:10] <xangua> !es | zurdo12
[04:10] <sahal> sebsebseb: so what should i do to make it start faster? or even troubleshoot what the problem is?
[04:11] <sebsebseb> sahal: maybe another log in screen will help,  or an upgrade to at least 8.10.  Of course if you upgrade to at least 8.10 you can't then directly upgrade to 10.04.  However people who directly upgrade from 8.04   probably won't get Grub 2 on upgrade and Ext4 is unlikely to get on upgrade.  Those aren't really needed those.
[04:11] <sebsebseb> sahal: though
[04:11] <zurdo12> xangua pero lo busco en los server y no aparece nada con .es
[04:11] <sahal> sebsebseb: another login screen?
[04:11] <sebsebseb> sahal: yeah
[04:11] <xangua> zurdo12: /j #ubuntu-es
[04:12] <sahal> sebsebseb: i tried to create a new user and they logged in fine.  but that was only the first login
[04:12] <sahal> sebsebseb: after a second login i had the same problem with a new user
[04:12] <sahal> sebsebseb: i created a new user with useradd in a tty
[04:12] <jack5463> what programming language do i need to learn to use and repair ubuntu?
[04:12] <sebsebseb> sahal: there's  KDM and XDM as well,  KDM being the KDE one, which means it will want to put on quite a lot more KDE stuff, if you haven't already got KDE stuff on there
[04:12] <sebsebseb> sahal: you could try re installing gdm also
[04:13] <sahal> sebsebseb: the thing is gdm starts fine... its only after i try to login does the computer really lag
[04:13] <sahal> is that still a gdm problem?
[04:13] <sebsebseb> sahal: maybe
[04:13] <sebsebseb> sahal: ,but it's probably something else actsaulley
[04:13] <nytek_> jack5463: what are you talking about? repair?
[04:13] <d6chung> Does "Modules linked in" in dmesg list the drivers that are loaded?
[04:13] <sebsebseb> sahal: however I suppouse try another log in screen, and if get with that as well, there's your answer
[04:14] <lanzelloth> how can I configure wireless network connections manually?
[04:14] <nytek_> lanzelloth: with iwconfig
[04:14] <sebsebseb> sahal: have you got data backed up and such?   you could try  upgrading to 8.10, then just clean install when 10.04 comes out?
[04:15] <lanzelloth> does the nm-applet use the same settings or whatever is set by iwconfig?
[04:15] <bastid_raZor> lanzelloth: right click the nm-applet in the toolbar and edit connections .. or left click and connecdt to hidden network .. that will allow you to set each setting required
[04:16] <lanzelloth> bastid_raZor i tried that
[04:17] <lanzelloth> bastid_raZor the result is multiple connection profiles to the same network
[04:17] <Inpetto> If a php extension shows up in my phpinfo (and is therefore running?) how can I find out information about it such as what port its running on etc?
[04:17] <lanzelloth> deleted all of them retried again
[04:18] <DerluenrudyThu> http://lm.loldongs.eu/~h/rofl.jpg <[04:18] <DerluenrudyThu> http://lm.loldongs.eu/~h/rofl.jpg <[04:18] <DerluenrudyThu> http://lm.loldongs.eu/~h/rofl.jpg <[04:18] <FloodBot1> DerluenrudyThu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:19] <bastid_raZor> lanzelloth: i've changed my wireless encryption recently and had no issues.. unsure why it wouldn't work for you. i deleted the previous setting for mine and did a connect to hidden network .. since i had hid the SSID and change from wep to wpa/tsk
[04:20] <lanzelloth> bastid_raZor i'd rather learn about the foolproof way with the command line
[04:21] <lanzelloth> bastid_raZor i'm reading a bunch of tutorials online about it and they all want me to run a bunch of commands without explaining them
[04:21] <bastid_raZor> lanzelloth: iwconfig is the way although i do not have much experience.. good luck
[04:21] <unixalot> lanzelloth: whatcha doin with iwconfig??
[04:23] <lanzelloth> unixalot trying to set up a wireless connection "profile"
[04:23] <lanzelloth> the nm-applet does use the same setting files/whatever as the iwconfig right? it's just a "nicer" gui alternative of dealing with iwconfig from the terminal
[04:24] <unixalot> lanzelloth: thats a fact
[04:24] <lanzelloth> unixalot so if I configured it properly then the nm-applet will just autoconnect the next time I log in right?
[04:25] <unixalot> No you have to set the nm-applet to the settings then it will save to your keyring i think
[04:25] <lanzelloth> i don't know what the gnome keyring is
[04:25] <thechris> I need help getting dual-boot to work.
[04:25] <lanzelloth> It's a gnome thing, yes?
[04:26] <unixalot> It saves all these settings that are required by root
[04:27] <thechris> Has anyone gotten a dual boot system to work with the current version of ubuntu?
[04:27] <sahal> i'm using dual boot with 8.04
[04:27] <sahal> but i don't see why it wouldn't work with other versions of ubuntu
[04:28] <sahal> i installed windows first
[04:28] <thechris> sahal: how did you get it to boot into windows?
[04:28] <lanzelloth> unixalot hmm ok
[04:28] <sahal> ubuntu detected it and put it in my menu.lst
[04:28] <sahal> i'm sure you can do the same manually
[04:28] <bastid_raZor> !fixgrub | thechris  you might need this.
[04:28] <thechris> sahal: no, its there, but just hangs
[04:29] <unixalot> lanzelloth: what kind of security are you trying to connect to
[04:29] <lanzelloth> sahal what're you trying to do?
[04:29] <nyaa_> grub was replaced with something else in 9.10
[04:29] <pixelfairy> so id like to ask that kvm be compiled with vde support, where / how do you do make a request like this?
[04:29] <nyaa_> which makes it a bit more troublesome!
[04:29] <sahal> lanzelloth: about?
[04:29] <lanzelloth> unixalot it's a wep :( (it's my parents' house)
[04:29] <blakkheim> lanzelloth: don't let your parents use wep
[04:30] <lanzelloth> sahal oh, I thought you were having problem with something
[04:30] <sahal> lanzelloth: well i am but its not related to grub
[04:30] <unixalot> lanzelloth: so you cannot connect to this network or what?
[04:30] <sahal> lanzelloth: gnome takes like 40 minutes to load
[04:30] <sahal> after i login using gdm
[04:30] <lanzelloth> blakkheim my dad needs wep so his phone can connect or some sh*t like that
[04:30] <thechris> lanzelloth: no, I'm having issues with the current bootloader not being able to boot winxp.
[04:31] <lanzelloth> unixalot the problem is they just changed it (it was wpa2) to wep and the nm-applet is not recognizing the change and kept trying the old settings even though I keep telling it to
[04:31] <lanzelloth> thechris oh ok
[04:31] <unixalot> lanzelloth: did you restart your comp
[04:31] <lanzelloth> sahal oh ok
[04:32] <lanzelloth> unixalot yeah and booted into windows and went here lol
[04:32] <unixalot> lanzelloth: I've had this same problem
[04:32] <unixalot> lanzelloth: so when you go back to linux, cant you go to nm-app and make a new profile
[04:32] <lanzelloth> unixalot I think i'll try again now, and i'm gonna remove that thing and install wicd
[04:32] <unixalot> lanzelloth: dontedit the one you have
[04:32] <unixalot> lanzelloth: wicd suuucks
[04:33] <lanzelloth> unixalot lol why?
[04:33] <korokos> How do i install pptp vpn on karmic?
[04:33] <unixalot> lanzelloth: delete the profile for your the wan, then create a new one, then restart
[04:33] <lanzelloth> unixalot i'm pretty pissed with the applet right now
[04:34] <charles__> is there a way to launch an application from the terminal and have the terminal return to a prompt?
[04:34] <neex> can anyone help me discover why my machine is generating endless dns traffic
[04:34] <unixalot> lanzelloth: yeah it works tho, I've had this same problem, wicd is even crappier in my opinion
[04:34] <neex> to the tune of > 100 requests/sec
[04:34] <unixalot> charles__: yeah add disown command
[04:34] <lanzelloth> unixalot I don't understand why they could spend development time on "the awesome" gnomeshell when their network manager is like this
[04:34] <unixalot> charles__: -a
[04:34] <charles__> oh, nice
[04:34] <bastid_raZor> charles__: application & disown
[04:34] <unixalot> charles__: disown -a
[04:34] <charles__> thank you :)
[04:34] <charles__> wait...
[04:34] <pixelfairy> charles__: or just add & after the command
[04:35] <charles__> myapplication -a
[04:35] <charles__> right?
[04:35] <bernardo> hello
[04:35] <pixelfairy> charles__: myapplication &
[04:35] <DSpair> Does anyone here have a link for installing Karmic Desktop on LVM2?
[04:35] <unixalot> charles__: myapplication & disown -a
[04:35] <charles__> okay, thank you again
[04:35] <brandon_oma_692> dr_willis  apt-cache search???
[04:35] <klappi> DSpair: i used the alternate install cd to do that
[04:35] <lanzelloth> o well gonna try again, see you guys
[04:35] <unixalot> lanzelloth: yeah, it has to do with the default keyring
[04:35] <DSpair> klappi: That is all that I need?
[04:35] <_Tristan> my wireless is almost working. I can see the networks, but when I go to connect to one it spins for about a minute before saying disconnected.
[04:36] <unixalot> _Tristan: Sounds like it doesnt have the rite key
[04:36] <DSpair> klappi: Thanks for the tip! I'm getting so sick of moving things around just because Karmic desktop doesn't do LVM be default.
[04:36] <_Tristan> unixalot: unprotected network
[04:36] <resno> how complicated is it to install windows next to a linux install?
[04:37] <unixalot> resno: not very
[04:37] <DSpair> You'd think with 2TB of disk space you wouldn't have to worry about moving things around much, but LVM would certainly be nice and user-friendly.... Click to add storage. Click to mirror storage... etc...
[04:37] <unixalot> resno: dual booting? is the question??
[04:37] <klappi> DSpair: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop should give you the gnome and stuff
[04:37] <resno> unixalot: yes, i plan on dual booting.
[04:37] <thechris> Can anyone help me dual boot?
[04:37] <unixalot> resno: if you do install windows before lilnux, if you install it vice versa windows will rape your master boot record
[04:37] <resno> thechris: which os is installed
[04:37] <thechris> I need winxp to actually boot, and not just hang
[04:38] <zurdo12> how is xubuntu?
[04:38] <DSpair> thechris: Sorry, I use virtual machines exclusively.
[04:38] <unixalot> resno: then you'll have to use live cd and fix your grub
[04:38] <resno> unixalot: yea, thats what i am afraid of
[04:38] <opticon> what can i use to make backups of ubuntu that are image based
[04:38] <unixalot> resno: grub is the gnome boot loader
[04:38] <unixalot> resno: **Linux
[04:38] <resno> unixalot: how complicated is fixing grub going to be?
[04:38] <resno> unixalot: should i use gparted to open the hd space u?
[04:39] <nyaa_> resno try installing a backport and installing grub over whatever 9.10 has
[04:39] <thechris> resno: winxp currently hangs before booting.  ubuntu works.
[04:39] <unixalot> resno: I dont undersand?
[04:39] <unixalot> resno: fixing grub is just mounting your boot partition from a live cd and running a few terminal commands
[04:40] <charles__> hmmm.... " & disown -a" doesn't seem to work. it takes me back to a prompt, but then i start getting messages
[04:40] <resno> unixalot: currently linux has the full disk, do i need to force linux into a small partition first?
[04:40] <unixalot> You need to set your partiton table to allow enough room for your windows install
[04:40] <resno> unixalot: and gparted is what i should use?
[04:40] <unixalot> You might have to use gparted and resize your ext3
[04:41] <unixalot> gparted from a live cd
[04:41] <resno> ok
[04:41] <unixalot> or the gparted live cd
[04:41] <thechris> Basically, windows won't boot after installing ubuntu
[04:41] <thechris> and I'd like to fix that
[04:41] <unixalot> thechris: you have to fix your grub
[04:41] <thechris> unixalot: how?
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> with 9.10 and grub2 - the 'update-grub' command should see/add a windows entry to the grub menus
[04:42] <unixalot> thechris: private message
[04:43] <_Tristan> I can see wireless networks but when I go to connect to them it only spins for a minute before saying "disconnected"
