[03:10] <r3dux> fbc - hehe, no idea then soz
[03:11] <Ninina> r3dux: I have no icon like that
[03:11] <snuitje> gregbrady: if you get tired of xp someday, theres still ubuntu 32bit which has working flash ;)
[03:11] <r3dux> Ninina, sudo apt-get install fusion-icon
[03:11] <gregbrady> snuitje: not with >4 GB
[03:11] <mercutio22> how can I start restricted drivers manager from the shell please?
[03:12] <snuitje> gregbrady: well linux does support that, but i've never tried it in practice
[03:12] <Alastair> any xchat users awake ? xD
[03:12] <ardchoille> Alastair: yes
[03:12] <r3dux> Double yes ;)
[03:12] <Alastair> i have one question :p
[03:12] <snuitje> gregbrady: 768MB here :P
[03:12] <snuitje> !ask | Alastair
[03:13] <Alastair> can you have favourite channels but not autojoin all of them as soon as you connect to a server :?
[03:13] <Ninina> r3dux: ok that fixed the problem and I seem to have gotten a performance increase as well, it was being a little sluggish
[03:13] <Lunar_Lamp> Alastair: try #xchat :-)
[03:13] <snuitje> yeah, i never autojoin #ubuntu yet it's one of my favourite channels
[03:14] <gregbrady> snuitje: I believe it does in 64 bit mode
[03:14] <kandjar> my bluetooth mouse stop working after reboot.. can someone help me?
[03:14] <snuitje> gregbrady: also in 32bit mode, support was added in linux 2.3.something iirc
[03:15] <Ninina> r3dux: is there anyway to get compiz to work right? I didn't have a problem under 8.04...maybe if I used the 173 drivers?
[03:15] <mercutio22> I can't see the ubuntu panel, is it possible to launch restricted drivers manager from the shell??
[03:15] <ardchoille> Alastair: PM?
[03:15] <snuitje> gregbrady: even windows has it, if you add the /PAE kernel parameter
[03:16] <Dr_willis_> mercutio22,  the command is like 'jockey-SOMTHING' use the tab key to complete the name :)
[03:16] <snuitje> gregbrady: but that's known to be buggy and most drivers don't like it
[03:16] <gregbrady> snuitje: ah, I have to see about that
[03:16] <r3dux> Ninina, 177 drivers are out. compiz works fine for me :)
[03:16] <r3dux> Alastair, http://letmegooglethatforyou.com/?q=xchat+join+favourite+channels+on+start
[03:17] <ejer> mercutio22: /usr/bin/jockey-gtk
[03:17] <gregbrady> snuitje: I don't know where else to go here.  I can't believe that I can't play a simple youtube video....hmmmmmmmmm
[03:17] <snuitje> gregbrady: yes, we can :D
[03:17] <gregbrady> snuitje: maybe a second breather and beer are required
[03:17] <snuitje> gregbrady: i mostly use http://www.keepvid.com/ and mplayer
[03:17] <Ninina> r3dux: well they aren't working for me T_T really bad performance + artifacts atleast under 8.10
[03:18] <snuitje> gregbrady: i'm out of beer :P could get some tho
[03:18] <Alastair> ardchoille: what do you mean with PM? xD
[03:18] <r3dux> Ninina - am on 8.10 - works fine... not sure why yours would be all b0rked
[03:18] <ardchoille> Alastair: may I PM you?
[03:18] <gregbrady> snuitje: I'll buy you a beer anyday....
[03:18] <mercutio22> thanks Dr_willis_
[03:18] <Alastair> yea, you don't even have to ask for my premission to do that :lol:
[03:18] <mercutio22> brb
[03:19] <maple1> how much does dollar beer cost?
[03:19] <Ninina> r3dux: me either...almost just want to say f it and install again to see if I can get a better result
[03:19] <r3dux> haha
[03:19] <snuitje> gregbrady: heh thanks =)
[03:19] <gregbrady> snuitje: anytime
[03:19] <gluonman> Can anyone explain how I can make my external hard drive appear in my stacks plugger in awn?
[03:19] <gregbrady> snuitje: Depending on location though!
[03:19] <r3dux> Ninina, if you do that prolly best to do "purge" instead of "remove" with apt - should get rid of any mangled configs, in theory
[03:19] <snuitje> gregbrady: getting offtopic ^-^'''
[03:20] <gregbrady> snuitje: actually, I'll mail you a beer
[03:20] <snuitje> gregbrady: please dont :)
[03:20] <maple1> I'm drunk
[03:20] <gregbrady> snuitje: good point
[03:20] <r3dux> It'd be all warm..
[03:20] <maple1> is now the time to partition my drive and install ubuntu?
[03:20] <gregbrady> maple1 carry on
[03:20] <Ninina> r3dux: since it's been all of 10 min since I did a format + install I think I'll just wipe the drive
[03:20] <ms_exodus> anyone have any experience with setting up a LTSP server / client config with diskless clients
[03:21] <snuitje> yep
[03:21] <bazhang> maple1, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:21] <r3dux> Ninina - <grins> Fair point. G'luck w/ 2nd try
[03:21] <atari2600a> so I'm installing Ubuntu from a thumbdrive but now it's halting on 'resizing partition'
[03:21] <mOUSTACHI>  check out this chick :) http://www.sexyemilie.com/?id=56594
[03:21] <gregbrady> snuitje: well, my mail offer was refused :(
[03:21] <atari2600a> I'm resizing my little brothers main NTFS partition with all his shit on it so it CAN'T crash now
[03:21] <atari2600a> what do I do!!!
[03:21] <ardchoille> Thank you
[03:22] <cellofellow> I mistakenly deleted a a file, but the vim .swp file is still there. Can I recover the original file from the .swp file?
[03:22] <bazhang> atari2600a, please watch the language
[03:22] <cellofellow> oh, there we go, yup!
[03:22] <kandjar> can anybody help me with some bluetooth issue????
[03:22] <atari2600a> dude
[03:22] <atari2600a> gpartedd CAN'T CRASH NOW
[03:22] <snuitje> gregbrady: mailing liquids is tricky
[03:22] <atari2600a> what do I do!
[03:22] <r3dux> atari - wait a while with fingers crossed?
[03:23] <atari2600a> then what!
[03:23] <r3dux> Could just be going slow?
[03:23] <matthias_> hi anybody that made it connecting to an hidden wireless WIFI
[03:23] <_nix-user> anyone can help me about dd command? I want to clonning from a partition to another partition but doesn't has same space. The source partition is /dev/sda7 has 7.4 GB and the target partition is /dev/sda5 has 12 GB. I just run dd if=/dev/sda7 of=/dev/sda5 and the result is the space of sda5 is same with sda7, what should I do? please help me, I'm really confused
[03:23] <gregbrady> snuitje: well, the thought was there
[03:23] <snuitje> ms_exodus: any issues with it?
[03:23] <Alastair> if your hdd led is on and you hear scratching noises from the PC everything is fine xD
[03:23] <gregbrady> snuitje: If you are ever in Waterloo, ON  then I will buy drinks.
[03:23] <ardchoille> snuitje , gregbrady  that really needs to go to #ubuntu-offtopic . This is a support channel, not general chat.
[03:23] <r3dux> _nix > format sda7 then copy all over?
[03:23] <Sierradump> Im noticing strange behavior on a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10.  Occasionally the title bar for application windows disappears or appears distorted... (the title bar is the bar with the  minimize window, full screen window, and (X) close window)
[03:24] <FFEMTcJ> Sierradump: ive had the same problem on one of my systems
[03:24] <snuitje> gregbrady: pm if you want ^^
[03:24] <gregbrady> ardchoille: ok, I'm done
[03:24] <truebosko> Silly question .. if someone asks about firewalls on linux, is suggesting them to read up on iptables the right idea ? :)
[03:24] <Alastair> resizing a partition is very lengthy process
[03:24] <_nix-user> r3dux: sda7 is the ubuntu system so I want to clon to the sda5
[03:25] <ardchoille> truebosko: yes, iptables is good for that
[03:25] <Sierradump> FFEMTcJ:  were you able to remedy?  Out of curiosity did you use the nVidia 177 drivers?
[03:25] <r3dux> truebosko, - could do that, or just have a look at guarddog to do the iptables stuff for you
[03:25] <ardchoille> !firestarter
[03:25] <truebosko> ardchoille / r3dux : thanks, firestarter was also something mentioned
[03:25] <FFEMTcJ> Sierradump: nope.. no fix yet.. dont know what drivers.. wifes computers
[03:25] <matthias_> anyone that can help me getting connected to my wirlesll router but with ssid invisible , i am having problem to connect to if and the funny thing is that my password is encrypted and not as i have in the router ...
[03:25] <truebosko> just wanted to make sure im on the right mindset here, heh
[03:25] <FFEMTcJ> s/computers/computer
[03:25] <r3dux> _nix > format sda5 then copy all over? [Sorry! Good catch!]
[03:25] <atari2600a> Alastair: with 10mins on 0%!?
[03:26] <Sierradump> FFEMTcJ:  by any chance do you get a ram size error during boot?
[03:26] <FFEMTcJ> Sierradump: dont know.. like i said, its the wifes system.. so i dont spend enough time on it to know.. sorry
[03:27] <Sierradump> FFEMTcJ:  crap cuz its really annoying!!!!
[03:27] <r3dux> atari2600a, I feel for you... that's a bad situation... hopefully it's crashed on kicking off the op or after doing it! Hope it works out.
[03:27] <Alastair> atari2600a, yea, depending on how large the partition is it can take several hours
[03:27] <_nix-user> r3dux: yes, I've formated sda5 and I just run the dd command. When I boot from sda5, the size is same with sda7 (from df -h command) but when I checked it from fdisk, the size is different
[03:27] <FFEMTcJ> Sierradump: i can imagine.. does it come back after a minute or two? my wifes does
[03:27] <Alastair> if the hdd is working there is no problem
[03:27] <twb> So the government has told me that they want their 8.04 desktops to look like Vista.      Its probably watching me!
[03:28] <lazukars1> What is the prefered cd/dvd burning software for Ubuntu?
[03:28] <Sierradump> HOWEVER -- if I close or minimize the application and reopen it --- it will then disappear.
[03:28] <r3dux> _nix - oddness. Try formatting sda5, mount it and copy everything with cp -R or whatnot
[03:28] <Alastair> yup, but if the partition is 500gb you'll have to wait a lot of time
[03:28] <matthias_> anyone that uses wireless and connected to router with ssid invcisible ...
[03:28] <sebsebseb> lazukars1:  the default one is ok, but K3B is one that is hightly recommend by Linux people
[03:29] <lazukars1> sebsebseb: thanks you!
[03:29] <ms_exodus> snuitje, just thinking about configuring a network with LTSP looking in the forums but was curious as to what other uses experience where
[03:29] <sebsebseb> lazukars1: yep K3B pretty good
[03:29] <DrK> anyone know what the irc channel for ubuntu SE is?
[03:29] <matthias_> lazukars1:  are you going to burn mp3 toaudio music ...
[03:29] <sebsebseb> yes
[03:29] <sebsebseb> DrK:  #ubuntu-se
[03:29] <DrK> sebsebseb: tyvm
[03:30] <lazukars1> matthias_: more for data.  I am just looking for an all around good one.
[03:30] <sebsebseb> Drk:  inget problem
[03:30] <r3dux> matthias_, SSID off doesn't matter AFAIK - mine routers SSID is off and I'm here...
[03:30] <_nix-user> r3dux: Can I boot it from the result copy of sda5?
[03:30] <sebsebseb> DrK:  inget problem
[03:30] <lazukars1> sebsebseb: would you do sudo apt-get installl K3B to install
[03:30] <lazukars1> minus the typo
[03:31] <sebsebseb> yep
[03:31] <r3dux> atari2600a - just had an idea! Ctrl-Alt-F3 or someth (if you can) - could try dmesg | tail and see what's going on?
[03:31] <sebsebseb> sudo apt-get install k3b should do it
[03:31] <ejer> lazukars1: k3b - lowercase
[03:31] <r3dux> But you said you'd rebooted already? =/
[03:31] <mrwes> re
[03:32] <matthias_> lazukars1:  okey but in case you will burn mp3 music to normal audio data than you need to install some extra codec in the repository, just look in the libk3b ....- codecs ...
[03:32] <vontux> hi, does anyone know if it is possible to find all need drivers for the newer toshiba laptops?
[03:32] <kandjar> bazhang: my bluetooth mouse is detected, but I can't establish the connectio nwith it/... It worked the first time. but stop working after a reboot
[03:32] <mrwes> lazukars1, Look into ABCDE, A Better CD Extractor, it's command line but it roxs
[03:32] <r3dux> lazukars1, you can burn to CD from Amarok apparently, but not tried it.
[03:32] <r3dux> For CD extraction I kinda like grip - does the job for me.
[03:33] <matthias_> r3dux:  it is an differance one is visible and the other is hidden and you can not just click on it and connect , how did you do that to connect to an invisible wireless router ???
[03:33] <r3dux> matthias_, I either entered the SSID manually or had SSID turned on, connected and saved connection settings then turned SSID off at router.
[03:33] <debianconverts> HELLO SIRS, how come intrepid detect my ata hd as SATA?
[03:33] <snuitje> ms_exodus: well, 64MB of RAM on the thin client wasn't enough for edubuntu
[03:34] <snuitje> ms_exodus: but overall it worked pretty neat
[03:34] <r3dux> matthias_, it's been a while, not sure which method I used.
[03:34] <snuitje> ms_exodus: it's better when the server doesn't have to create a swap file for the client, so the client can swap pages over the network (ugh)
[03:35] <r3dux> Anyways, enough timewasting for me - back to the OpenGL Superbible... cyaz
[03:35] <MrCollins> How can I get flash to play sound, from youtube.com videos, I can play sound from totem using my digital out on my audigy 2, but no sound comes from flash in firefox. Can someone point me to a good howto?
[03:35] <pancho> hola
[03:35] <rraj_be> Could any one help me top package a c source program into debian package

[03:37] <mrwes> heh
[03:37] <mrpockets> Is there a way to install Ubuntu without the GUI?
[03:37] <mcj_> Hey all. Uhh, kinda serious problem here. X.org says it doesn't detect any devices after I upgraded my kernel and now I can't get Xserver to run without it being in "low-grphics mode."
[03:37] <snuitje> mrpockets: install a commandline system
[03:37] <mcj_> mrpockets: Alternate installer.
[03:37] <Sierradump> mrwes:  I love this thing - couple of issues but I am really liking it so far!
[03:37] <usser> rraj_be, if your c program uses a make file then you can use checkinstall to roll into a .deb package
[03:37] <snuitje> mrpockets: use the alternate installer or the dvd
[03:37] <rraj_be> why you need such mrpockets
[03:38] <mrwes> Sierradump, good for you
[03:38] <mrpockets> rraj_be, server
[03:38] <rraj_be> fine and thanks a lot usser
[03:38] <LF|Irssi> "...a whole process of things to do to get it to work"   Ohh that's the fun part of Linux :)
[03:38] <Sierradump> battery life isn't as bad as I thought either - I am getting about 1.5hr
[03:38] <rraj_be> but could you give me live one to one help
[03:38] <rraj_be> i am very new to this usser
[03:38] <mrwes> Sierradump, yah I get about 2 hours
[03:38] <rraj_be> Actually server install of ubuntu wont give you GUI
[03:38] <Alastair> Sierradump, use the medibuntu repo
[03:39] <MrCollins> rraj_be, sounds like you would like to hire usser ;)
[03:39] <usser> rraj_be, is it your own project?
[03:39] <rraj_be> yeah
[03:39] <usser> rraj_be, does it have a makefile?
[03:39] <Sierradump> mrwes:  I haven't messed with power settings either - I may be able to get it to stretch out a little longer...
[03:39] <rraj_be> some what modified the source from internet
[03:39] <Sierradump> Alastair: medibuntu?
[03:39] <_21h_> how to make djvu files under linux?
[03:39] <ms_exodus> snuitje, cool. thanks for the input!
[03:40] <Sierradump> Alastair: I am new to linux could you give me a quick rundown on what I need to do?
[03:40] <rraj_be> i just have c program with .c extension . .i have done small programs but not yet any applications usser
[03:40] <rraj_be> its my first project
[03:40] <mcj_> X server says no screens are found on my system. So... what do I do?
[03:40] <rraj_be> MrCollins: really i am very basic user . . . .so only
[03:40] <mrwes> Sierradump, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[03:41] <snuitje> ms_exodus: also, dont try to be too clever, edubuntu takes care of a lot more things you'd ever care to think of, so follow the book and let it do its thing :)
[03:41] <mrwes> !Medibuntu | Sierradump
[03:41] <mrwes> w00p
[03:41] <rraj_be> usser:  what should i do now . . ??
[03:41] <snuitje> ms_exodus: i tried intervening things but rly it's better to try it like how it's meant to be before trying to tweak things
[03:41] <MrCollins> is there is a good howto on youtube.com videos + nosound for ubuntu?
[03:42] <usser> rraj_be, you will need to create a simple makefile http://mrbook.org/tutorials/make/
[03:42] <usser> rraj_be, something like all: gcc filename.c -o programname
[03:42] <rraj_be> sure . . . i will have a look there
[03:42] <mrwes> MrCollins, did you g00gle it?
[03:42] <mouseboyx> how do you reconfigure xorg so that you can pick from  a list of video drivers, my real problem is that when i install xserver-video-intel, it does not write the driver to xorg.conf file....  http://pastebin.com/m3351e38d
[03:43] <mrwes> MrCollins, what version of ubunut?
[03:43] <ms_exodus> snuitje, will do. looking at some working examples in the forums right now. When I'm done I'll post there my results in ubuntuForums under tbuss. Thanks again
[03:43] <MrCollins> mrwes, I have googled it and have done several things
[03:43] <mouseboyx> xgl is not running, but i can still do 3d rendering, like glxgears?
[03:43] <MrCollins> mrwes, I have 8.10
[03:44] <mouseboyx> my xorg.conf file does not have anything in it...
[03:44] <snuitje> ms_exodus: i started by runnin the server in a virtual machine and a real thin client that has pxeboot
[03:44] <snuitje> *running
[03:44] <zerodevice> hi everyone
[03:44] <MrCollins> mrwes, I did apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[03:44] <Sierradump> Got it mrwes thank you!!!!! and alastair!
[03:44] <CarlFK> Ekiga doesn't seem to be picking up anything from my mic.  volume control gui shows 3 mics: Docking, External, Internal.  how do I know what ekiga is using?
[03:44] <MrCollins> mrwes, and I did apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound
[03:44] <zerodevice> im having some trouble with the file access permission thing.
[03:44] <MrCollins> restarted firefox and restarted ubuntu
[03:45] <mrwes> MrCollins, You running flash 10?
[03:45] <MrCollins> mrwes, I am using a digital out *not optical* on an audigy 2 card....
[03:45] <MrCollins> mrwes, yes.
[03:45] <Sierradump> mrwes,  have you experienced any weird behavior of the title bar, sometimes my application bar disappears or appears distorted...
[03:45] <rraj_be> done usser
[03:45] <rraj_be> whats next
[03:46] <zerodevice> how come everytime i scan an image file from xsane and the permission is set to "others: Access: none"? this gave me a hard time when i am trying to share those files to other user.
[03:46] <mrwes> MrCollins, try this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=964165
[03:46] <mrwes> Sierradump, you have desktop effects turned on?
[03:46] <maple1> I popped 5 dexedrine just to tolerate linux
[03:46] <zerodevice> is there anyway to make whatever files in that folder once and for all "read-white"?
[03:46] <usser> rraj_be, thats for compiling, there has to be target install so that make knows where to install the binary
[03:46] <rraj_be> usser:
[03:46] <maple1> and then had 3 beers
[03:46] <maple1> how do you think I feel?
[03:46] <usser> rraj_be, add another entry install: /usr/bin
[03:46] <Sierradump> mrwes: I do not have any desktop effects turned on?   I can see the (-) minimize button and thats it...
[03:47] <rraj_be> usser:
[03:47] <mouseboyx> how do you reconfigure xorg so that you can pick from  a list of video drivers, my real problem is that when i install xserver-video-intel, it does not write the driver to xorg.conf file....  http://pastebin.com/m3351e38d, this config file is very limited, is it supposed to be like this?
[03:47] <usser> rraj_be, my bad sorry
[03:48] <rraj_be> what usser
[03:48] <mrwes> Sierradump, try searching here http://www.googlubuntu.com/
[03:48] <usser> rraj_be, hm, whats up with -lSDL_mixer?
[03:48] <rraj_be> i have that out file and source  alone now
[03:48] <snuitje> Sierradump: titlebar corruptness, i had that on very rare occasions only with compiz enabled
[03:48] <mercutio22> People, I am in dire need of help. Its the second day this happens to me in a row. Afters the latest kernel update I can' t boot into ubuntu. I have a clue whats causing it, but I am not sure how to fix it. I suppose it has something to do with fstab UUIDs and grub. I recently lost my partition table, recovered it and was booting normally, but the system breaks with every update
[03:48] <CarlFK> usser: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Recipes ?
[03:48] <rraj_be> its for compiling a SDL file usser
[03:48] <Sierradump> mrwes:  good site, added to bookmarks!!!
[03:48] <usser> rraj_be, -subsitute programname with the name you want your program to be known
[03:49] <rraj_be> it shud be added along with compile line to compile any SDL file
[03:49] <rraj_be> yeah
[03:49] <Sierradump> I haven't enabled compiz -- does it come pre-enabled???
[03:49] <rraj_be> i done that and named it as raj usser
[03:49] <mouseboyx> mercoutio22, dont update?, not sure what to tell you, can you do a fresh isntall
[03:49] <usser> rraj_be, right so install section would be
[03:50] <usser> rraj_be, install: mv raj /usr/local/bin
[03:50] <rraj_be> how to make "MAKE " file now usser
[03:50] <mrwes> Sierradump, no, but you can check it System | Preference | Appearance
[03:50] <rraj_be> usser:  raj@raj-desktop:~/Documents/PROJECT/sdl/sdl$ install: mv raj /usr/local/bin
[03:50] <rraj_be> bash: install:: command not found
[03:50] <maple1> does anyone else use stimulants to work on linux?
[03:50] <mercutio22> mouseboyx: I wan t to fix it without resorting to a clean install, I don' t want to loose stuff. Its all here.
[03:50] <mrwes> Visual Effects tab
[03:51] <Alastair> compiz was enabled by default on my pc and my laptop (nvidia/intel cards)
[03:51] <usser> rraj_be, now you should be putting all that into a file called Makefile in the same directory as your program
[03:51] <mrwes> Sierradump, reason why I ask the title bar missing is usually a problem with Compiz and visual effects
[03:51] <rraj_be> i am getting eerror ads install:: command not found usser  . . . .what to do
[03:51] <Sierradump> mrwes:  System|Preference|appearance -- I just have the "human" theme turned on?
[03:52] <mouseboyx> ok, mercutio22 when you boot goto the grub menu, and edit the ubuntu line, remove splash from the line and find the exact error
[03:52] <Sierradump> mrwes, where would the compiz setting show up there?
[03:52] <Alastair> go on the last tab, visual effects or something like that
[03:52] <usser> rraj_be, create a new file called Makefile in the directory where your program is
[03:52] <rraj_be> ok done
[03:52] <usser> rraj_be, and add these lines all:  gcc raj.c -o programname -lSDL_mixer
[03:52] <rraj_be> os Makefile.txt
[03:53] <mrwes> Sierradump, System | Preferences | Appearance | Visual Effects tab....what is it set to?
[03:53] <usser> rraj_be, install: mv raj /usr/local/bin
[03:53] <rraj_be> is it to be a text file.??
[03:53] <Sierradump> mrwes:  when I hover the mouse over the minimize/maximize/close window buttons - it will disappear/flicker if it is working, or if it isn't working it will come back to life!
[03:53] <usser> rraj_be, substitute programname with raj
[03:53] <rraj_be> usser:
[03:53] <usser> rraj_be, in the first line
[03:53] <Sierradump> Mine is set to "normal"
[03:53] <mrwes> ahh... so it's on
[03:53] <Sierradump> mrwes:  mine is set to "normal" the middle setting.
[03:54] <mercutio22> mouseboyx: it says something about the kernel not being able to sync - and theres an error message saying something like /init line 190 and the UUID which is probably wrong in menu.lst and fstab
[03:54] <Sierradump> Mrwes:  OHHHH that is "compiz" ???  I didn't know because it didn't say "compiz"  --->  what can I set it to ?
[03:54] <rraj_be> ok done >  . . .
[03:54] <rraj_be> usser:
[03:54] <Alastair> i have the same disappearing/flickering problems on the nvidia card
[03:55] <snuitje> Sierradump: yep, that sounds familiar, there's probably a bug on it in launchpad you could subscribe to it or help test proposed updates if any
[03:55] <Toaster`> Evening all.  How does one move a private GPG signature from one computer to another?
[03:55] <rraj_be> usser:  is make file shud be a text file with .txt extension
[03:55] <MrCollins> mrwes, I saw that forum post, no joy. I tried apt-get install adobe-flashplugin but it says ' Couldn't find package adobe-flashplugin'
[03:55] <Sierradump> Alastair:  are you using the nVidia 177 drivers?  Which graphics card do you have?  I have integrated nVidia Geforce GO 6150
[03:55] <Doonz> hey Guys need some help with mdadm
[03:55] <usser> rraj_be, no just a file name "Makefile" retain the case, M should be capital
[03:56] <rraj_be> ok
[03:56] <rraj_be> its done
[03:56] <ejer> !flash | MrCollins
[03:56] <snuitje> Sierradump: it happens with intel integrated graphics as well, has to be a compiz bug
[03:56] <\Kira> When I play world of warcraft the graphics look funny, the game operators recommended taking a look into my video drivers. I am using a Intel 865 chipset, with the driver i810. Any recommendations?
[03:56] <usser> rraj_be, did u put the lines i pasted?
[03:56] <Doonz> I have a raid 5 array that is from my old system (thing is dead) ive moved the drives and the raid card onto the new system
[03:56] <LordKagar> Anyone a doctor here....for the last year ive had this thing in my nose...feels really smooth kind of but it hurts when I touch it at all --and it seems to come back go away the ncome back again
[03:56] <Alastair> 177/7950GT
[03:56] <\Kira> !restriced
[03:56] <Doonz> How do i rebuild the array without destroying the data on it
[03:56] <Sierradump> snuitje:  I will check it out... I don't want to really  mess with it at this point as I am getting ready to take a trip and just need a stable laptop.
[03:56] <\Kira> !restricted
[03:56] <snuitje> \Kira: get a better card, like a supported ATi or nVidia
[03:56] <ms_exodus> snuitje, this is a little off topic but I was curious about LTSP because I'm configuring LMCE with 3 diskless md's and I think LMCE can handle the netboot
[03:57] <ejer> !smoothnose | LordKagar
[03:57] <rraj_be> yesh
[03:57] <\Kira> snuitje: I cant at the momment, im working on it, though
[03:57] <Alastair> i don't have this problem with the laptop tho...
[03:57] <LordKagar> ejerL it might be a wart
[03:57] <LordKagar> but idk what it is
[03:57] <LordKagar> hurts though
[03:57] <snuitje> Sierradump: disable it when you try to do work then, thats pretty safe
[03:57] <rraj_be> in this orde
[03:57] <rraj_be> gcc raj.c -o sdl -lSDL_mixer
[03:57] <rraj_be> install: mv raj /usr/local/bin
[03:57] <rraj_be> is it right usser
[03:57] <FloodBot2> rraj_be: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:57] <LordKagar> and it goes awy comes back
[03:57] <LordKagar> must flare up or something
[03:57] <Sierradump> mrwes:  I set visual effects to "none" and it appears to have fixed it!
[03:57] <FloodBot2> LordKagar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:57] <LordKagar> and deflare
[03:58] <snuitje> \Kira: intel integrated graphics isn't really made for WoW, kewl that it's running to some extend at all though
[03:58] <usser> rraj_be, all: gcc raj.c -o raj -lSDL_mixer
[03:58] <dmulholland> hey, im running three ubuntu machines at home through a router network, how can i get it that I can use ssh username@hostname instead of ssh username@IPaddress? I'm assuming I'm missing something in the network hostname or something?
[03:58] <usser> rraj_be, install: mv raj /usr/local/bin
[03:58] <\Kira> snuitje: I see, I guess I have to go to future shop :(
[03:58] <LordKagar> KiraL only noobs go to future shop
[03:59] <snuitje> \Kira: im trying to get secondlife but that's pretty demanding as well :'/
[03:59] <Kira> LordKagar: Tiger Direct or newegg ftw?
[03:59] <rraj_be> is it ok  no in this order
[03:59] <markl_> how easy is it to use software raid on the Ubuntu root/boot partitions?
[03:59] <rraj_be> gcc raj.c -o sdl -lSDL_mixer
[03:59] <rraj_be> all: gcc raj.c -o raj -lSDL_mixer
[03:59] <rraj_be> install: mv raj /usr/local/bin
[03:59] <markl_> does the installer handle it easily?
[03:59] <ejer> dmulholland: you need a dns server to tell the machines what hostname has which IP, your router may be able to, or you could add the IPs to your hosts file
[04:00] <usser> rraj_be, now remove the very first one :)
[04:00] <usser> rraj_be, and it will be fine
[04:00] <bruce_> when i open synaptic package manager i get this error- 'dkpg was interrupted- manually enter 'dpkg --configure -a'; how do i do that?
[04:00] <ejer> markl_: use the alternate cd, it is handled just like in debian
[04:00] <rraj_be> which line usser
[04:00] <\Kira> snuitje: I was thinking about trying second life, but wow seemed more popular around my school.
[04:00] <|d|> i think my gdm has a problem restoring a session
[04:00] <mrwes> Sierradump, check this thread, post #13 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=975596&page=2

[04:00] <ejer> bruce_: applications>accessories>terminal, in there type: sudo dpkg --configure -a
[04:00] <snuitje> \Kira: yeah WoW gets all the attention, but secondlife lets you build things, and it's a single world so you dont need to request transfers
[04:01] <usser> rraj_be, sweet paste what u got?
[04:01] <snuitje> \Kira: plus it's free software ^-^

[04:06] <forcumang> i just accidently removed my /home/user/
[04:06] <Doonz> can someone help me turn on the ssh server on my ubuntu 8.04lts desktop
[04:06] <forcumang> is there a way to recover it?

[04:06] <rraj_be> ok
[04:07] <rraj_be> its asking for description
[04:07] <snuitje> forcumang: but i'd recommend using a forensic analysis livecd
[04:07] <ejer> MrCollins: little non-standard, but should of course work, I use audigy2 with disabled onboard sound... I would try all the dif settings in sound settings, but I would google for bugs too
[04:07] <snuitje> forcumang: and never even boot from that ubuntu install to prevent further 'damage'
[04:07] <sqrtof-1> how do you put a bcm43xx chip in ad-hoc mode?
[04:07] <MrCollins> ejer google for bugs such as?

[04:10] <Sierradump> sqrtof-1  is that in a particular order:  i.e. apt-get remove skype.   THEN  apt-get autoclean skype ???  thanks.
[04:10] <rraj_be> usser:
[04:10] <mercutio22> ok, cool I solved it. Now how can I prevent that from happening again? I had to boot into a live cd, correct the wrong hard drive entries in menu.lst, replace UUIDs with my /dev/sda5 partition and reinstall grub and
[04:10] <snuitje> sqrtof-1: sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode adhoc doesnt work?
[04:10] <usser> rraj_be, try putting stuff that goes after all: and install: on separate lines

[04:10] <ejer> MrCollins: like this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/291371 - it looks like a pulseaudio issue, try making sure you have pule selected, and go look again to make sure you disabled sound right in bios
[04:10] <forcumang> oh wow
[04:10] <rraj_be> is this correcr "all: gcc raj.c -o raj -lSDL_mixer"

[04:11] <tim> i got some nasty bug in it
[04:11] <sqrtof-1> just paste this into a shell: sudo apt-get remove skype && sudo apt-get autoclean.
[04:11] <tim> need to reconfigure it, possible?
[04:11] <forcumang> mikematis => there was for some reason an accidently folder in my home folder named ~, so i rm -r ~ (idiotically), and it deleted teh home folder contents
[04:11] <tim> ubuntu 8.10
[04:11] <MrCollins> ejer I do have the soundcard disabled in bios, I just checked
[04:11] <forcumang> lol
[04:11] <sqrtof-1> tim:

[04:12] <forcumang> im gonna get a bong hit before this crap, ffs
[04:12] <snuitje> LoRdRapTuReZ: do you have ssh set up?
[04:12] <bazhang> forcumang, please keep it family friendly
[04:12] <tim> iam ssh tunneling port xx to my server where vnc is running
[04:12] <snuitje> LoRdRapTuReZ: or are they running samba?
[04:12] <ejer> MrCollins: looks like pulse, and if ubuntu really sees your second card, you could have it being loaded, so you need to look into alsa settings to force one to be first
[04:12] <usser> rraj_be, do: make
[04:12] <tim> beside that i connected to some other ip
[04:12] <LoRdRapTuReZ> how to set up ssh
[04:12] <LoRdRapTuReZ> i new to linux
[04:12] <snuitje> !ssh
[04:12] <usser> rraj_be, and: sudo checkinstall
[04:12] <rraj_be> yeeah
[04:12] <rraj_be>  a min plz
[04:13] <Sierradump> sqrtof-1:  I did the apt-get remove skype command and it said after removing 14mb or space would be freed, but the install said 141mb of space was used??? what happened to my other 127mb of space!!!!
[04:13] <MrCollins> ejer, where is alsa settings in System -> Prefs -> Sound  ??
[04:13] <tim> now when using connection to xx it displays the ip i connected before and freezes whole window manager
[04:13] <snuitje> LoRdRapTuReZ: basically install the openssh-server package
[04:13] <mikematis> forcumang: Woah. not good. Not sure if I can help you, but the actual data *should* still be on the drive, just the references to those files are gone.
[04:13] <tim> = alt+F2 = kill vnc process
[04:13] <tim> so any way to reconfigure that "terminal-server-client" application?
[04:13] <rraj_be> the same error use
[04:13] <snuitje> LoRdRapTuReZ: theres another way, just right click a folder in nautilus, choose share, and it'll configure things for you
[04:14] <rraj_be> Makefile:1: *** missing separator.  Stop. usser
[04:14] <MrCollins> ejer how do I stop the other card from being detected/used?
[04:14] <|d|> i think my gdm has a problem restoring a session,because wen i restart after not closing all gui programs it hangs and slows the system down drastically
[04:14] <snuitje> LoRdRapTuReZ: then browse the network on the other computer to find the share you just made
[04:14] <mikematis> forcumang: Try using a live cd with testdisk on it to recover them. Can anone else help with this?
[04:14] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ok
[04:14] <ejer> MrCollins: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/FAQ#Can_I_use_several_applications_at_once_without_the_second_one_blocking.3F and elsewhere on that page

[04:16] <bazhang> snuitje, sunapi386 please stop
[04:16] <Doonz> OK i have a raid 5 array that was built on another ubuntu box that died a tragic death. Ive moved all my hard drives and the raid card onto this new ubuntu box. how do i go about rebuilding that array without loosing all the data on it?

[04:16] <snuitje> bazhang: i cant say orly?
[04:16] <ejer> I have just turned the on now, guess I am testing :)

[04:16] <bazhang> sunapi386, it is offtopic
[04:16] <MrCollins> ejer, can I post to you my 'aplay -l' list somewhere, where you can have a look at it?
[04:16] <LoRdRapTuReZ> !in windowsxp, we can enable the remote desktop, but how about ubuntu 8.04
[04:16] <Doonz> i broke the mobo
[04:16] <ejer> yes MrCollins
[04:16] <digitalvaldosta> hello. I was wondering how to get my terminal transparent so that I can see the other windows through it. I had it working on my other computer but forgot how to set it up.  This a place to solve probs. not cause them
[04:17] <MrCollins> ejer, where do I post the 'spam'?
[04:17] <markl_> Doonz: ah well it should generally be as easy as moving the drives and turning the machine on
[04:17] <ejer> !paste | MrCollins
[04:17] <\Kira> I would like to install gnome on my machine, but I dont want it to start on boot. What is the command to install it, and how can I stop it from auto-starting. This is going to be a server for a game and I need to use a GUI to configure some stuff, but in the future I dont want it to cause the server to slow when I dont need it too.
[04:17] <digitalvaldosta> I know how to get so that I can see the desktop through it. This is not what I need. I want to see the other windows.
[04:17] <markl_> your video may not work the same but generally it will work
[04:17] <Doonz> it was the old os drive that fell onto the mobo and broke both
[04:17] <markl_> Doonz: ah that changes things
[04:17] <snuitje> \Kira: you may want to try sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[04:18] <mikematis> Doonz: is this a scratch built box, or is it from a sysint like dell?
[04:18] <markl_> Doonz: you weren't booting from the raid card?
[04:18] <snuitje> \Kira: that'll prevent gdm, the gnome display manager from starting up on boot
[04:18] <Doonz> markl no
[04:18] <LoRdRapTuReZ> !in windowsxp, we can enable the remote desktop, but how about ubuntu 8.04
[04:18] <MrCollins> ejer, http://paste.ubuntu.com/77609/
[04:18] <Doonz> mikematis custom built
[04:18] <markl_> Doonz: in that case i would reinstall with just a single drive, and then connect the raid card
[04:18] <\Kira> snuitje: but would that stop X server, as well?
[04:18] <Doonz> wich ive done
[04:18] <snuitje> \Kira: correct
[04:18] <usser> rraj_be, try this http://pastebin.com/m1f7c3b59
[04:18] <Doonz> now my question is howdo i rebuild the array
[04:18] <rraj_be> ok
[04:18] <snuitje> \Kira: you can also leave gdm running and not log in until you need to use the gnome desktop
[04:18] <bazhang> LoRdRapTuReZ, no need to use ! for your questions
[04:19] <LoRdRapTuReZ> ok
[04:19] <snuitje> \Kira: that way only X and a greeter runs
[04:19] <markl_> Doonz: you want to reformat the disks?
[04:19] <Doonz> no
[04:19] <snuitje> \Kira: not the full blown desktop
[04:19] <markl_> Doonz: or save your old data on the raid
[04:19] <usser> rraj_be, also make sure make is installed: sudo apt-get install make
[04:19] <dmulholland> hey, im trying to share folders between two ubuntu machinces but the default way now seems to be windows shares through samba? is it not better to use a unix file share?
[04:19] <Doonz> save the data
[04:19] <uhhhhh> anyone have the hp mini 1000 here?
[04:19] <hmw_lfs> ohmy
[04:19] <markl_> Doonz: does the system detect the partitions when you boot up?
[04:19] <\Kira> snuitje: I'd rather go with the first solution, and do you have any idea how to start it once I want to? And what about installing gnome?
[04:19] <hmw_lfs> radeon driver docs are wrong...
[04:19] <Doonz> yep
[04:19] <markl_> Doonz: for example, cat /proc/partitions
[04:19] <hmw_lfs> at least in one little detail
[04:19] <markl_> Doonz: ok can you mount them?
[04:20] <Sierradump> Could someone have a look at my skype install here:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/77610/   I can't tell what happened???  It looks like it hit an error on line 44???
[04:20] <ejer> MrCollins: in sound settings your devices should be set to pulseaudio
[04:20] <rraj_be> what shud i change in make file usser  . . .its same as old
[04:20] <rraj_be> usser:
[04:20] <markl_> Doonz: add them to fstab and you should probably be done
[04:20] <LoRdRapTuReZ> in windowsxp, we can enable the remote desktop, but how about ubuntu 8.04??? is the any option like that
[04:20] <hmw_lfs> and my vid runs coool now
[04:20] <snuitje> \Kira: basically 2 methods: start gnome or log in and start an X session
[04:20] <Doonz> oh i see wich partition you meant
[04:20] <MrCollins> ejer, how do I do so ejer? How do I change them to pulse?
[04:20] <Doonz> No there is no md0
[04:20] <snuitje> \Kira: invoke-rc.d gdm start
[04:20] <usser> rraj_be, http://pastebin.com/m1f7c3b59
[04:20] <usser> rraj_be, its not the same
[04:20] <Doonz> just sd[bcdef}
[04:20] <\Kira> snuitje: I cant just type: startx?
[04:20] <snuitje> \Kira: actually sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start yes you can also log in and type startx
[04:21] <ejer> dropdown menus MrCollins system>prefs>sound
[04:21] <snuitje> \Kira: that'll get you an X session right away
[04:21] <\Kira> snuitje: okay, thanks. I know there is a distro that doesnt have startx...
[04:21] <MrCollins> ejer, so just change it all to pulseaudio?
[04:21] <snuitje> \Kira: if not startx then xinit :P
[04:21] <Sierradump> snuitje:  can you have a look here and tell me why skype isn't showing up for me:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/77610/
[04:21] <\Kira> snuitje: by get a X session right away, do you mean go to the login page?
[04:21] <snuitje> Sierradump: sorry, i dont support skype, never used it either
[04:21] <Doonz> markl_ would this be the command to run mdadm -A /dev/md0 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1
[04:22] <ejer> MrCollins: you will have to just try it, I don't know what the issue is, so you should try all the settings there
[04:22] <mikematis> doonz: so you lost the mob and one of the drives in the array. Was the raid adapter a seperate card, or part of the mobo? Raid controllers have a pre-boot interface, and some can rebuild an aray, if you can set it up the way it was before.
[04:22] <markl_> Doonz: md0 is software raid isn't it
[04:22] <Doonz> yes
[04:22] <rraj_be> really sorry usser  same error as
[04:22] <Doonz> sorry should have specified
[04:22] <snuitje> \Kira: no, startx runs a gnome session or whatever the default happens to be set to
[04:22] <usser> rraj_be, weird
[04:22] <rraj_be> Makefile:1: *** missing separator.  Stop.
[04:23] <Ninina> Well I'm still having trouble with boarder artifacts with 8.10, some upgrade
[04:23] <rraj_be> really i am too
[04:23] <markl_> Doonz: when i have hardware raid i usually just mount sda1, sdb2, whatever
[04:23] <Doonz> this is a raid 5 array with 5x500gb drives that stored data no os
[04:23] <rraj_be> i copied exact pastebin
[04:23] <\Kira> snuitje: okay, will typing "sudo apt-get install gnome" be sufficient for installing gnome?
[04:23] <usser> rraj_be, sudo apt-get install make
[04:23] <markl_> Doonz: i use 3ware
[04:23] <Doonz> markl_l yeah my new install is on a 3ware raid card
[04:23] <markl_> or perc
[04:23] <snuitje> \Kira: that's not recommended for ubuntu
[04:23] <rraj_be> could yu give it in new paste bin . . .just exactly how a make content shud look please
[04:23] <\Kira> snuitje: what is recommended?
[04:23] <rraj_be> make is installed
[04:23] <markl_> Doonz: oh this isn't the same raid setup as before?
[04:23] <rraj_be> could yu give it in new paste bin . . .just exactly how a make content shud look please usser
[04:23] <Doonz> ok let me start over
[04:23] <bazhang> Ninina, which window decorator
[04:24] <markl_> Doonz: i thought you were moving your raid card & drives over to a new box
[04:24] <snuitje> \Kira: depending on your needs, you can install ubuntu-desktop or just parts of it
[04:24] <markl_> Doonz: but i could have missed somethintg
[04:24] <Ninina> bazhang: Which ever is the default?
[04:24] <Doonz> ok let me rephrase everything to keep it simple
[04:24] <snuitje> \Kira: apt-cache depends ubuntu-desktop | less
[04:24] <bazhang> Ninina, this only happens with compiz?
[04:24] <usser> rraj_be, yea that was it
[04:24] <uhhhhh> anyone get the sound working on the hp mini 1000
[04:24] <uhhhhh> i think its the AD1984HD
[04:25] <Ninina> bazhang: yeah
[04:25] <\Kira> snuitje: is that the command to run? Will that install only gnome, or would kde and suh come with it. I only really need gnome as disk space is a issue
[04:25] <bazhang> uhhhhh, check in lspci
[04:25] <usser> rraj_be, http://pastebin.com/m2a1671b
[04:25] <snuitje> \Kira: that gets you a list of whats in ubuntu, for instance, if you install xserver-xorg gnome-panel nautilus metacity gnome-session you get a very minimal gnome
[04:25] <bazhang> Ninina, emerald or the gtk window decorator
[04:25] <rraj_be> ok
[04:25] <uhhhhh> i dont have it yet, i want to know if it works 100% before i purchase it
[04:25] <rraj_be> but getting wrong
[04:25] <Doonz> my os drive crashed. It had no raid what so ever. I was running a software raid set up on 5 drives that were only data and no os on it. i replace the os drive. and reinstalled ubuntu on it. how would i go about bringing back up online that array without loosing the data on it
[04:25] <Ninina> bazhang: I tried reinstalling, changing nvidia drivers, everything
[04:25] <bazhang> Ninina, which video card
[04:25] <snuitje> \Kira: apt-cache doesn't install anything
[04:25] <Ninina> bazhang: but it worked fine with 8.04
[04:25] <\Kira> snuitje: okay, I think I have it all figured out. Thanks :)
[04:26] <Ninina> bazhang: Geforce 7950gt
[04:26] <cakey> i accidentally the video card... what should i do
[04:26] <bazhang> Ninina, and have you asked in #compiz-fusion yet?
[04:26] <rraj_be> http://pastebin.com/m2b434c99
[04:26] <markl_> Doonz: i doubt it is possible to migrate from software raid to a 3ware hardware raid
[04:26] <Doonz> ignore everything about the 3ware
[04:26] <Ninina> bazhang: No, I thought it was a ubuntu problem
[04:27] <Doonz> my os drive crashed. It had no raid what so ever. I was running a software raid set up on 5 drives that were only data and no os on it. i replace the os drive. and reinstalled ubuntu on it. how would i go about bringing back up online that array without loosing the data on it
[04:27] <Ninina> bazhang: I mean I literally haven't installed a single program other then the OS and the drivers
[04:27] <Doonz> new scenario
[04:27] <Doonz> :)~
[04:27] <usser> rraj_be, looks fine, do u have make installed at all? what does "sudo apt-get install make" say?
[04:27] <bazhang> Ninina, best bet is to ask the compiz experts in that channel
[04:27] <Ninina> bazhang: I'll try
[04:27] <Formode> Hello, could anyone help me get sound working? It was working about, 2 days ago. I am trying to get ETQW sound to work, mainly.
[04:27] <bazhang> cakey, you accidentally what the video card
[04:28] <MrCollins> ejer, now that I have all my stuff set to pulseaudio, I cant hear things in totem now.
[04:28] <Shoopuf> Is there an easy LAMP/XAMPP install for Ubuntu? Instead of downloading each one manually and manually configuring firewalls in text files and opening port 80s and such? :P
[04:28] <markl_> Doonz: ah ok, the 3ware should give you each drive as a separate /dev/sd? device so you should be able to recombine the raid.  i am not an expert at the vg, pv etc commands though
[04:28] <snuitje> \Kira: things to get: alacarte eog evince file-roller gconf-editor gedit gnome-applets gnome-control-center gnome-icon-theme gnome-menus gnome-panel gnome-session gnome-system-monitor gnome-system-tools gnome-terminal gnome-themes gnome-utils gnome-volume-manager hal metacity nautilus
[04:28] <ejer> Doonz: http://man-wiki.net/index.php/8:mdadm#ASSEMBLE_MODE
[04:28] <cakey> the video card
[04:28] <Sierradump> Can anyone help me with SKYPE?  I am getting a " problem with audio playback " message???
[04:28] <bazhang> cakey, please give us a complete sentence
[04:28] <ejer> Shoopuf: sudo tasksel install lamp-server
[04:28] <cakey> i accidentally the video card
[04:28] <mikematis> Shoopuf: Download the ubuntu server iso and install that. there's
[04:28] <bazhang> cakey, that makes no sense
[04:28] <\Kira> snuitje: thats what I would need? would I still have to run the command you mentioned earlier to stop it from starting at boot?
[04:28] <Hades> hi
[04:29] <Hades> all
[04:29] <usser> rraj_be, it works fine with exact same contents
[04:29] <mikematis> Shoopuf: Download the ubuntu server iso and install that. there's an installation option for LAMP.
[04:29] <snuitje> \Kira: notification-daemon pulseaudio seahorse synaptic unzip update-manager update-notifier xorg xterm yelp zenity zip
[04:29] <rraj_be> a min plz phone
[04:29] <snuitje> \Kira: that's a fairly minimal selection
[04:29] <Shoopuf> mikematis: Darn, I am running Ubuntu on a shared host, and they just offer a basic bare-bones Ubuntu install
[04:30] <\Kira> snuitje: yeah, I was just looking at the output of that command, thats all the stuff under "depends", right?
[04:30] <snuitje> \Kira: if you want to get even less, install with --no-install-recommends
[04:30] <Doonz> server@sserver1:~$ sudo mdadm --assemble --scan
[04:30] <Doonz> mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sdb1: No such device or address
[04:30] <Doonz> hmm
[04:30] <snuitje> \Kira: not everything
[04:30] <\Kira> snuitje: okay, I think I should be good with what you listed, I only need to do a couple things.
[04:30] <rraj_be> usser:  its giving like this "make: *** No rule to make target `gcc', needed by `all'.  Stop."
[04:31] <uhhhhh> rraj_be, try make clean
[04:31] <rraj_be> uhhhhh:  make: *** No rule to make target `clean'.  Stop.
[04:31] <uhhhhh> hmmmm
[04:31] <usser> rraj_be, does it work without makefile? ie gcc raj.c -o raj
[04:31] <\Kira> snuitje: if you dont mind, do you know anything about forwarding the X server to another computer (I cant remember what the term is called). Such as I SSH into my server from somewere else, then get it to show gnome from my server at somewere else.
[04:31] <rraj_be> yes
[04:32] <usser> uhhhhh, trying to write a simple makefile here
[04:32] <rraj_be> it works fine
[04:32] <usser> rraj_be, something is wrong
[04:32] <uhhhhh> yeah
[04:32] <mikematis> Shoopuf: type "sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 mysql-server"
[04:32] <rraj_be> thats what usser
[04:32] <uhhhhh> the file must be wrong
[04:32] <rraj_be> i am too trying to find that
[04:32] <snuitje> \Kira: there are several ways to do it
[04:32] <uhhhhh> is the tabbing correct?
[04:32] <usser> rraj_be, your makefile is messed up
[04:32] <snuitje> \Kira: one of them is vino
[04:32] <rraj_be> k
[04:32] <MrCollins> ejer, I have an idea, how can I tell my flash player to tell it specifically to send the sound through the digital out? I believe it is being played on the analog side, I will test it now.....
[04:32] <snuitje> \Kira: it's a vnc server for gnome
[04:32] <rraj_be> all: gcc raj.c -o sdl -lSDL_mixer
[04:32] <rraj_be> install: mv raj /usr/local/bin
[04:32] <snuitje> \Kira: add it to your list
[04:33] <nik> hello a quick question, I can not start up kde gui by typing startx at the konsole. It says user not authorized to run the X server, aborting. What can I do to run it?
[04:33] <rraj_be> this is my make file contents
[04:33] <usser> rraj_be, its tabbing
[04:33] <rraj_be> tabbing?
[04:33] <rraj_be> what shud i do now?
[04:33] <usser> rraj_be,  "gcc raj.c -o sdl -lSDL_mixer" must be on a separate line
[04:33] <rraj_be> usser:
[04:34] <snuitje> \Kira: if you've enabled that, run ssh -L5900:<IP_ADDRESS>:5900 <remotehost>
[04:34] <usser> rraj_be, also one tab in front of it
[04:34] <rraj_be> now this is op
[04:34] <rraj_be> Makefile:2: *** missing separator.  Stop.
[04:34] <usser> rraj_be, yea apparently spacing matters
[04:34] <nik> anyone want to answer my question?
[04:34] <rraj_be> k
[04:34] <rraj_be> done
[04:34] <\Kira> suigeneris: okay, thanks. Out of curiosity, whats the -L5600, for?
[04:34] <rraj_be> its working usser
[04:34] <markl_> Doonz: does dmesg show all the drives?
[04:34] <usser> rraj_be, ok
[04:35] <usser> rraj_be, so do: make
[04:35] <rraj_be> raj@raj-desktop:~/Documents/PROJECT/sdl/sdl$ make
[04:35] <rraj_be> gcc raj.c -o sdl -lSDL_mixer
[04:35] <usser> rraj_be, yep got it
[04:35] <rraj_be> its op of make
[04:35] <rraj_be> yeah
[04:35] <Doonz> markl_ dmesg?
[04:35] <usser> rraj_be, sudo checkinstall
[04:35] <markl_> Doonz: run that from the command line and it will show all the kernel boot msgs
[04:35] <Doonz> oh
[04:35] <mikematis> nik: I'll try to help you
[04:35] <Doonz> yeah all the drives are there
[04:35] <rraj_be> done usser
[04:36] <xr0ckstar> happy turkey day
[04:36] <snuitje> \Kira: then, in a seperate shell, run xtightvncviewer -bgr233 -compresslevel 9 -encodings copyrect -quality 5 <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:36] <nik> mike thanks, did you get the question?
[04:36] <markl_> i wonder why it couldn't find /dev/sdb1, that sounds un-good
[04:36] <snuitje> \Kira: that's the option to tunnel a tcp port
[04:36] <snuitje> \Kira: see man ssh
[04:36] <mikematis> nik: yep. have you already installed kde? ubuntu just comes with gnome by default.
[04:36] <usser> rraj_be, well now that u answered all the questions and changed the options u wanted to change, you should have a .deb package in that same directory
[04:37] <snuitje> \Kira: -L <localport>:<host on remote side>:<port on remote side>
[04:37] <rraj_be> yeah
[04:37] <nik> i'm with debian
[04:37] <rraj_be> really thanks a lot usser i done it
[04:37] <rraj_be> now what about ./configure and all ./ . . .i have seen thiose in many innstallations
[04:37] <liljohnpenguin> hello, I am a newbie to this channel - can you point me to an overview of where to find out what this channel is used for, thank you all for your help!
[04:37] <rraj_be> is it compulsory to have those files in my package along with redame etc etc
[04:38] <bazhang> nik, debian?
[04:38] <uhhhhh> what are you trying to do rraj_be
[04:38] <nik> liljohnpenguin, search for ubuntu irc in google
[04:38] <nik> debian kde on apple
[04:38] <bazhang> nik, try #debian
[04:38] <\Kira> snuitje: sweet, I hope I can figure that out... do I have to install the vino package on the remote and locate hosts?
[04:38] <snuitje> #debian is on irc.oftc.net
[04:38] <usser> rraj_be, configure only makes sense when u have a reasonably complex applications
[04:38] <bazhang> nik, this is for ubuntu support not debian
[04:39] <Flannel> liljohnpenguin: This channel is a support channel for Ubuntu linux.  There's a chat channel at #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:39] <nik> ubuntu is derivative of debian
[04:39] <bazhang> snuitje, no #debian is on this server
[04:39] <usser> BMWracer0, he wanted to create a .deb package out of a .c file
[04:39] <snuitje> \Kira: on the server you install vino on the client, xtightvncviewer
[04:39] <Flannel> nik: While true, that's not relevant
[04:39] <BMWracer0> o
[04:39] <snuitje> bazhang: official #ubuntu is on oftc right?
[04:39] <mikematis> nik: I don't think I can help you. You might want to try the #debian channel. Now if you were using ubuntu or slackware, I could have helped you. :)
[04:39] <snuitje> bazhang: i mean #debian
[04:39] <bazhang> snuitje, nope
[04:39] <Flannel> snuitje: Official Ubuntu is here, official debian is on oftc, yes.
[04:40] <fishhooker> so i'm currently on vista, but thinking of making the switch this summer
[04:40] <nik> #debian doesn't have much apple users
[04:40] <liljohnpenguin> flannel: thanks
[04:40] <BMWracer0> im an apple user
[04:40] <BMWracer0> unfortunately
[04:40] <snuitje> hm try #elitists
[04:40] <fishhooker> i've got 3GB of RAM, should i use 32 or 64 bit ubuntu?
[04:40] <Flannel> snuitje: Please be helpful
[04:40] <nik> bmw how did you get kde running from konsole?
[04:40] <usser> fishhooker, 32bit would work just fine
[04:41] <BMWracer0> what
[04:41] <ejer> fishhooker: go for it! use 32 bit, just downlaod the regular desktop cd
[04:41] <genii-around> fishhooker: Probably 32 bit will give you less headaches at this time
[04:41] <fishhooker> ah
[04:41] <rraj_be> usser:  got loged out
[04:41] <rraj_be> just back
[04:41] <\Kira> snuitje: thanks a bunch :) thats solved alot of the server problems ive been stuck trying to figure out by myself...
[04:41] <fishhooker> what are the differences between 32 and 64?
[04:41] <snuitje> \Kira: yw
[04:41] <rraj_be> is it necessary to have configure . . .read me files and many many in a package
[04:41] <usser> rraj_be, configure only makes sense when u have a reasonably complex applications
[04:41] <fishhooker> (also, would it be worth it to upgrade to 4GB of RAM, and if so, would that change the answer to 64?)
[04:41] <rraj_be> fine
[04:41] <nik> BMW: when you logon, you run into kde konsole
[04:41] <mikematis> nik: Ubuntu and debian have different design philosophies. I could be wrong, but dosen't debian stat up at a terminal login, as opposed to a graphical one (like ubuntu)?
[04:42] <rraj_be> could you just summarise the steps please for making debian . .
[04:42] <BMWracer0> i dont use KDE
[04:42] <BMWracer0> gnome
[04:42] <rraj_be> i will make a not of it usser
[04:42] <ejer> nothing fishhooker really, they are technical, if you have more than 3GB of RAM, it may be worth going with 64, which runs as well as 32 these days in my experience
[04:42] <genii-around> fishhooker: 32bit works on both 32 or 64 bit cpus but only sees normally about 3.2Gb of ram. 64 bit only runs on 64 bit cpus and sees all your ram. Most apps run in 32 bit
[04:42] <snuitje> mikematic: thats entirely up to the user
[04:42] <usser> rraj_be, also you dont usually write makefiles manually, people use  IDEs that automate those tedious tasks
[04:42] <rraj_be> *note of it usser
[04:42] <usser> rraj_be, IDEs like netbeans or kdevelop
[04:42] <rraj_be> ok
[04:42] <nik> mike it is true, but i passed that point
[04:42] <Shoopuf> fishhooker: I tried 64-bit but didn't like it, not enough software available... Seems it's mostly made for 32-bit
[04:42] <rraj_be> what IDE can i use for this
[04:42] <rraj_be> ok
[04:43] <snuitje> mikematic: use tasksel to decide initially
[04:43] <rraj_be> fine
[04:43] <rraj_be> what is use of configure file
[04:43] <Guest34521> How can I "reset" a usb device like wireless device, without having to plug it in and out, if I restart ubuntu with it plugged in ?
[04:43] <usser> rraj_be, netbeans, but again using IDE only makes sense when your projects are reasonably large,20-30 files and mor
[04:43] <rraj_be> is it to make configurations for softwares usser
[04:43] <nik> problem is that i cant lunch X in the konsole by typing startx after i logon
[04:43] <usser> e
[04:43] <rraj_be> :) fine
[04:43] <bazhang> nik, debian is not supported here.
[04:43] <rraj_be> i will try thiose
[04:44] <hmw_lfs> using the "ati" (radeon) driver, i set agp 8x and fastwrite. since then the second monitor stays black. i am really out of hope
[04:44] <xr0ckstar> guest you can unmount it then mount it
[04:44] <ejer> Guest34521: you can unload and reload the driver
[04:44] <usser> rraj_be, goog luck in your journeys
[04:44] <Guest34521> ejer: usb ?
[04:44] <ejer> what device is it Guest34521
[04:44] <rraj_be> thanks a lot for your kind help
[04:44] <Guest34521> ejer: it's like, restarting usb ports , so I won't have to plug in and out my usb cable for my alfa 500mw
[04:45] <pedromenezes> I am getting 404 in the repositories after upgrading my Ubuntu 8.10, help me. =T
[04:45] <pedromenezes> and my wireless isn't working
[04:45] <fishhooker> all right, thanks guys regarding the 32/64 bit question! (haha sorry 'bout the delayed reaction)
[04:45] <rraj_be> this program is command line media player usser   . ..i wan2 make it a GUI with just a play and pause button using gtk.  . .Could you help me usser
[04:45] <ejer> Guest34521: i don't know what driver it uses, but you would use rmmod and modprobe to unload and reload it, this is usually good enough to reset it
[04:45] <Guest34521> pedromenezes: try changing servers for the repositories and what is not working about your wireless ?
[04:46] <fishhooker> i'll probably make the switch this summer though 'cause i can't afford to do anything ludicrously unfamiliar during the school year :P
[04:46] <pedromenezes> guest34521 after the upgrade, my wireless isn't searching/doing anything
[04:46] <Sierradump> Anyone know why sometimes my volume control buttons on laptop show the BIOS Volume icon, and other times the volume control buttons show a UBUNTU volume control popup???
[04:46] <pedromenezes> how can I change the repositories' servers?
[04:46] <Guest34521> pedromenezes: what device is it
[04:46] <Ninina> bazhang: I figured out the problem...the errors only happen with the new human themes...=\
[04:46] <ejer> fishhooker: you could look at http://wubi-installer.org/
[04:46] <snuitje> rraj_be: http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk-tutorial/stable/
[04:46] <usser> rraj_be, writing guis is easy, i recommend python with wxwidgets as a starting point
[04:46] <bazhang> Ninina, nice going
[04:47] <Guest34521> ejer: modprobe rt8187 ?
[04:47] <Sierradump> NININA:  which errors are you referring to???
[04:47] <rraj_be> sure usser  and snuitje  . . .
[04:47] <genii-around> Guest34521: Might want sudo with that
[04:47] <rraj_be> i am gona start now itself
[04:47] <ejer> Guest34521: rmmod rt8178, then type dmesg and see what it says, then modprobe rt8187 and dmesg again
[04:47] <tleuser835> 8.10 downloaded and written but not bootable. pls hlp!
[04:47] <pedromenezes> guest34521 where can I change the repositores
[04:47] <pedromenezes> ?
[04:47] <bazhang> tleuser835, md5 the iso
[04:48] <Sierradump> Bazhang:  Which errors is Ninina referring to?
[04:48] <bazhang> !md5
[04:48] <genii-around> Guest34521: Instead of rmmod use instead: sudo modprobe -r <modulename>
[04:48] <mikematis> pedromenezes: System > Administration > Software Sources...
[04:48] <ejer> pedromenezes: system>admin>software sources, but if you are not connected to net, this is why you have 404 errors
[04:48] <tleuser835> that was done. every file is OK.
[04:48] <bazhang> Sierradump, windows border with nvidia card
[04:48] <pedromenezes> I am connected through ethernet, thanks for the help
[04:49] <bazhang> tleuser835, then reburn at low speed and do the disk integrity check
[04:49] <Sierradump> bazhang:  like the missing minimize/maximize/close buttons and the title bar?
[04:49] <bazhang> Sierradump, yep
[04:49] <mikematis> pedromenezes: ...In the dropdown the says "Download from" select "other" and then click the "Select best server" buton.
[04:50] <Sierradump> bazhang, I was under the impression that was related to compiz?  I turned my visual effects off and am still using human theme and haven't had anymore problems...
[04:50] <doors98> is it possible for windows to access files on a network to an ubuntu OS?
[04:50] <tleuser835> the cd is readable but not bootable. lack of a boot image is a problem?
[04:50] <bazhang> doors98, sure
[04:50] <snuitje> !pm | xr0ckstar
[04:50] <Sierradump> doors98, type in \\computername\
[04:50] <ejer> !samba | doors98
[04:50] <bazhang> tleuser835, you reburned at low speed and did the disk integrity check?
[04:50] <Guest34521> genii-around: how can I found the module is it using ? my usb alfa 500mw
[04:50] <mikematis> doors98: yes. with sftp, ftp, or samba
[04:50] <doors98> bazhang: and Sierra: How
[04:51] <Guest34521> genii-around: the driver is IEEE
[04:51] <genii-around> Guest34521: This is an external USB DSL modem?
[04:51] <bazhang> doors98, see the link from the bot above
[04:51] <doors98> yap i already shared my forlder in Ubuntu using samba
[04:51] <Guest34521> genii-around: external usb wireless card
[04:51] <doors98> how will i access it on windows?
[04:51] <rmitchell> sierradump, how fairs your penguin?
[04:51] <Sierradump> door98 - most likely samba is already enabled... from your windows machine simply type in the browser window \\computername\
[04:51] <tleuser835> bazhang, not yet.
[04:51] <Guest34521> genii-around: and it connects with 2 usbs for power and I am sick of pluggin them out and in whenever I restart ubuntu
[04:51] <Sierradump> rmitchell couple questions maybe you could help.
[04:52] <pw-toxic> how can i enter special  keys like (tm)   i think in windows i could do this with alt gr + number
[04:52] <rmitchell> sierradump, i'll give it a try
[04:52] <genii-around> Guest34521: It's a Realtek 8185
[04:52] <pw-toxic> for example altGr + 174
[04:52] <Sierradump> Tried a skype install and got it running but it won't complete calls says bad audio settings or something - on a slightly related note - sometimes my volume buttons on my laptop control the system bios speakers and other times they control a ubuntu popup window...
[04:52] <usser> rraj_be, here something like this: http://pastebin.com/f75324f24
[04:52] <ejer> pw-toxic: no shortcuts, but application>accessories>character map
[04:53] <mikematis> doors98:Or do Map Network Drive from the tools menu of the my computer window.
[04:53] <Sierradump> rmitchell you catch that?
[04:53] <rmitchell> sierradump, yep
[04:53] <rraj_be> k
[04:53] <Guest34521> genii-around: yes but how can I rmmod it if ubuntu doesn't see it unless I have to plug it in and out which is my main problem in the first place ?
[04:53] <Sierradump> rmitchell other than that I am really having fun with this!
[04:53] <genii-around> Guest34521: Although some newer ones may use later like 8187
[04:53] <rraj_be> now where in the menu i can find the package i installed
[04:53] <Guest34521> genii-around: yes
[04:53] <rraj_be> is there any way to specify it usser
[04:53] <usser> rraj_be, what menu?
[04:54] <ejer> Guest34521: is the problem that when you reboot the stick is dead?
[04:54] <genii-around> Guest34521: Does it show when you issue: lsusb                   ?
[04:54] <usser> rraj_be, you mean synaptic?
[04:54] <rraj_be> i insno
[04:54] <rraj_be> no
[04:54] <snuitje> what did you install?
[04:54] <doors98> mikematis: if i do map network drive when i browse my ubuntu machine isnt disp[layed?
[04:54] <rraj_be> i have installed created .deb
[04:54] <rmitchell> sierradump, i never had problems with skype audio, as for the laptop buttons, that's interesting
[04:54] <Guest34521> genii-around: ejer: yes whenever I start/reboot ubuntu, the usb card is not recognized
[04:54] <rraj_be> now where or how can i use that application
[04:54] <rraj_be> in menus
[04:54] <Guest34521> genii-around: yes
[04:54] <rraj_be> usser:
[04:54] <Guest34521> genii-around: it shows
[04:55] <pw-toxic> ejer: cant i configure shortcuts for this?
[04:55] <ejer> Guest34521: most likely you will not fix this in software
[04:55] <Sierradump> rmitchell - ya when I first installed the laptop buttons caused a bios audio icon popup with volume meter... Pressing plus  made volume go up, pressing minus made sound go down...
[04:55] <ejer> pw-toxic: if you figure out how, please tell me
[04:55] <Guest34521> ejer: so plugging it in and out as always :( ?
[04:55] <Mal3ko> guys how do we switch/login to other user in ssh?
[04:55] <usser> rraj_be, i dont understand. you mean the one that you checkinstalled?
[04:55] <mikematis> doors98: Are both machines set to the same workgroup?
[04:55] <ejer> Guest34521: if rmmod and modprobe don't do it, then yes
[04:55] <doors98> or maybe i can type the ID of ubuntu? but how can i see my ip on Ubuntu?
[04:55] <Sierradump> rmitchell, now those same buttons are causing a ubuntu volume popup to come up with similar volume bar.  problem is that it is controlling the OS volume and not the speaker volume!
[04:56] <n8tuser> doors98  sudo ip a
[04:56] <node357> installing with wubi, stuck for 1 hour on "scanning the mirror" the Canadian server does not respond and I can't select a mirror during install
[04:56] <hmw_lfs> ssh address -l user
[04:56] <snuitje> Sierradump: unlikely, the bios shouldn't get scheduled, can't get back to the kernel it knows nothing about and generally really knows nothing about anything at all going on in the system
[04:56] <pw-toxic> ejer: :(
[04:56] <doors98> mikematis: where in ubuntu can i set the workgroup name? sorry total newbie
[04:56] <hmw_lfs> ssh address -l user Mal3ko
[04:56] <rmitchell> sierradump, ah... so the bios is adjusting volume, but so is the os.
[04:56] <ejer> Sierradump: you can change this in system>preferences>sound
[04:56] <rraj_be> i instlled that aplpication i created usser  . . .in which menu i can see it now or lauch it . . .like terminal by Applications--> Accessories--> Terminal . . like that
[04:56] <Guest34521> genii-around: it shows in lsusb how can I force ubuntu to mount it ?
[04:56] <mikematis> doors98: ifconfig in a terminal to get the ip
[04:56] <snuitje> Sierradump: bios isn't "magic" its just a blob sitting in a rom
[04:56] <genii-around> Guest34521: You don't "mount" a wifi adapter or so, only filesystems
[04:56] <doors98> how can i set the workgroup name so that windows automatically detects it
[04:57] <Sierradump> snuitje, originally after install the volume buttons caused a giant sound icon to pop up - the same icon i got in windows... Now I am only getting a ubuntu volume meter popup...
[04:57] <usser> rraj_be, oh there won't be a menu entry for it, since we didn't specify one, you can run it from terminal
[04:57] <snuitje> Sierradump: when linux runs linux is in charge
[04:57] <usser> rraj_be, by typing: raj
[04:57] <mikematis> doors98: hang on ...
[04:57] <Guest34521> genii-around: yes wrong word, but is there a way around it ?
[04:57] <cri_tmn> hy
[04:57] <genii-around> Guest34521: If you do:  lsmod| grep usbcore                            do you see something like this: usbcore               146412  4 rtl8187,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd
[04:57] <muelle> .irc.cl
[04:57] <ejer> pw-toxic: i just found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey i t may help
[04:57] <Sierradump> rmitchell, yes that seems to be problem.
[04:57] <rraj_be> ok
[04:57] <Sierradump> ejer, I will check that out...
[04:57] <rraj_be> in CLI its ok
[04:57] <doors98> mikematis: i mean, where can i set my workgroup name in ubuntu?
[04:57] <Guest34521> genii-around: yes
[04:58] <rraj_be> but how for making menu entry? usser
[04:58] <usser> rraj_be, as part of .deb package?
[04:58] <snuitje> Sierradump: weird, but still what's the problem?
[04:58] <ejer> rraj_be: system>prefs>main menu
[04:58] <usser> rraj_be, i wouldn't know, never done it. you can add it manually
[04:58] <rraj_be> ok how to add manually ys
[04:58] <rraj_be> usser:
[04:59] <rmitchell> sierradump, disabling the bios feature might be best. or disable the OS stuff. You can pick which track the buttons control in system | preferences | sound
[04:59] <usser> rraj_be, what ejer said ^
[04:59] <hmw_lfs> doors98: /etc/samba/smb.conf - you might have to install samba
[04:59] <rraj_be> yes
[04:59] <rraj_be> thanks ejer
[04:59] <Sierradump> well the OS volume is all the way up, but the hardware volume isn't so it is faint/low volume;
[04:59] <Guest34521> genii-around: I FIXED IT, i forgot I had r8187, not rtl8187, I had to downgrade to r8187 because mac8021 has a bug, I realized mine is r8187 when I saw in your paste, rtl, THANKS MAN !!!
[04:59] <genii-around> Guest34521: OK. When you see this, and you issue: ifconfig                           does it show a wlan0         ?
[04:59] <mikematis> doors98: I think yu set it when you set up the shared folder.
[04:59] <usser> rraj_be, just add an entry, type the name, command is raj. and set it to run in terminal. im not sure where is it all located, havent run gnome for a while now
[05:00] <Sierradump> rmitchell, ejer, where exactly can I controll this? I am in system | preferences | sound
[05:00] <tleuser835> thanks. l'll be back.
[05:00] <rmitchell> sierradump, open up volume manager, double click your sound icon and lets see what track your buttons control
[05:00] <genii-around> Guest34521: Ah, a simple solution :) Glad it got working
[05:00] <Guest34521> genii-around: so I fixed it with modprobe -r and mount !
[05:00] <rraj_be> sure usser
[05:00] <Guest34521> genii-around: not mount, modprobe again*
[05:00] <Sierradump> ?
[05:00] <Sierradump> rmitchell confused...
[05:00] <genii-around> Guest34521: I'm not sure how "mount" fits into it however....
[05:01] <rmitchell> sierradump, double click the volume icon in your tray
[05:01] <Sierradump> I am on system | preferences | sounds tab...
[05:01] <Guest34521> genii-around: yes wrong word :)
[05:01] <snuitje> goodmorning everyone ./ cya l8r
[05:01] <ejer> Sierradump: default mixer track
[05:01] <Sierradump> okay
[05:01] <SuperGeek> 'ello all.
[05:01] <Guest34521> genii-around: do you have the same alfa as well ?
[05:01] <ejer> and check what rmitchell is saying, you probably have to change PCM volume
[05:01] <doors98> maikematis and to others who replied, thanks, i'l try all ur suggestions:)
[05:01] <rmitchell> sierradump, now press a volume button on your keyboard, and see which track's slider moves
[05:02] <SuperGeek> I have a laptop that supports x64...should I install the x64 version or x86? I want to use the laptop for casual use..
[05:02] <genii-around> Guest34521: I have an internal USB based 8187 which is similar
[05:02] <Sierradump> volume buttons are controlling the "master" audio track?
[05:02] <santanu> while mounting a drive in ubuntu 8.10 i found a message "internal error, no mount object for mounted volume"
[05:02] <santanu> i couldn't understand what to do!
[05:02] <mikematis> doors98: you should also be able to get to it from your windows box with \\ipofubuntubox\sharename typed into the address bar of any explorer window
[05:02] <ejer> SuperGeek: i recommend 64bit if over 3gb of ram
[05:02] <Sierradump> rmitchell, ejer  it moves the master audio slider
[05:02] <SuperGeek> ejer: 4GB of ram..
[05:02] <rmitchell> sierradump, alright, play some sound/music, and as its playing, play around with the PCM slider, see if that does what you want
[05:03] <Guest34521> genii-around: oh, 8187, do you find the drivers a bit unstable? my connection keeps fluctuating from 30% to 80%, but it windows it's more stable for example, so it couldn't be interference
[05:03] <ejer> SuperGeek: go for the gusto
[05:03] <santanu> Please help me
[05:03] <SuperGeek> ejer: are there any packages for x86 that aren't available for x64?
[05:03] <ejer> santanu: what file system on dirve, what type of drive
[05:03] <genii-around> Guest34521: I find that the power management which controls the usb bus varies the voltage which affects it's performance
[05:03] <santanu> ntfs
[05:03] <mikematis> SuperGeek: zsnes
[05:03] <ejer> SuperGeek: not that I know of, I have been in 64bit for many years
[05:04] <SuperGeek> hm.
[05:04] <Guest34521> genii-around: wow really? how can I fix that?
[05:04] <SuperGeek> how much RAM can Ubuntu use in x86?
[05:04] <ejer> SuperGeek: certainly no issues for casual use, but you can always just try the livecd and see for yourself
[05:04] <mikematis> SuperGeek: you can compile it yourself though. Sometimes someone will float a deb out there if you look around
[05:04] <ejer> you can make 32bit see all your ram
[05:05] <SuperGeek> oh?
[05:05] <Sierradump> rmitchell, it is still quiet... I can't figure it out.  When I first installed, I was controlling the actual speaker volume with the volume buttons.  I had the actuall hardware button all the way up, and the OS volume icon was at about 75%.  They were separate.
[05:05] <ejer> you need to compile a new kernel
[05:05] <genii-around> Guest34521: There is a value to set for it but offhand I cannot recall. When this happens for me I don't bother debuging it anymore but just plug in an auxilliary adapter I have
[05:05] <SuperGeek> ejer: it's not supported in the default kernel?
[05:05] <ejer> SuperGeek: no, it is in 64bit
[05:05] <Guest34521> genii-around: there is no adapter for it, it can only be powered by usb :(
[05:06] <SuperGeek> ah.
[05:06] <mikematis> SuperGeek: I've been on 64bit for 2yrs. Flash sometimes does strange things, since its just a wrapper around the 32bit version (i think).
[05:06] <ejer> there is a performance hit for it in 32bit I think SuperGeek
[05:06] <santanu> how can I solve my mounting problem?
[05:06] <SuperGeek> i see
[05:06] <rmitchell> sierradump, what sliders do you see in the 'playback' tab of volume control? I didn't know the bios stepped in for things as trivial as volume
[05:06] <SuperGeek> how about the nvidia proprietary drivers?
[05:06] <SuperGeek> will those work on x64?
[05:06] <ejer> mikematis: flash10 is 64bit now :) http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[05:06] <ejer> SuperGeek: everything works
[05:06] <mikematis> SuperGeek: Nvidia drvs work great
[05:07] <SuperGeek> alright
[05:07] <ejer> SuperGeek: would we use it otherwise
[05:07] <SuperGeek> x64 it is, i suppose
[05:07] <SuperGeek> haha, true
[05:07] <mikematis> ejer: Sweet! I'll check it out!
[05:07] <genii-around> Guest34521: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/power-off-usb-509328/   has the values to set I spoke of. You need to know which usb bus and device etc etc but the idea is explained there
[05:07] <ejer> mikematis: it solved all my probs
[05:07] <santanu> ejer!!
[05:07] <SuperGeek> thanks y'all
[05:07] <Sp00f> hi all
[05:07] <Sierradump> rmitchell, maybe it wasn't bios - but I definitley used to have a different sound icon after fresh install... It was the same icon I had for XP and Vista... It was in Ubuntu 8.10 too until a little while ago (after I installed a bunch of packages).  Then all of a sudden I get a ubuntu popup bar (no more grey sound icon w/ bar)...
[05:07] <santanu> may i be helped?
[05:08] <ejer> santanu: if you do not say my name I will not see it
[05:08] <Sp00f> happy tday
[05:08] <mikematis> SuperGeek: Have fun!
[05:08] <Sierradump> rmitchell, I see Master, PCM, Ext Mic, Int mic.
[05:08] <ejer> santanu: what type of drive? usb?
[05:08] <santanu> ejer: How can I solve my mounting problem?
[05:09] <LoveGuru> Is there anyone familiar with "proftpd" well i setup proftpd and works fine within the box. but when i try to open it outside the box it can;t let me in .. anyone?
[05:09] <rmitchell> sierradump, click 'preferences' and check anything that has to do with 'playback' see if anything is down low
[05:09] <santanu> ejer: no, hard drive : ntfs
[05:09] <BMWracer0> santanu:  i think they make a pill for it, but you still need a girlfriend
[05:09] <BMWracer0> well maybe not even that
[05:09] <Sierradump> rmitchell, Skype is giving me a "problem with audio playback" message and won't let me do anything!
[05:09] <BMWracer0> jut some woman
[05:09] <Guest34521> genii-around: ok I'll try that thanks a lot man !
[05:09] <ejer> LoveGuru: if you are trying to get in from outside your network you will need to open a port most likely

[05:10] <ejer> santanu: i do not know what the error means
[05:10] <LoveGuru> ejer: thats what i m saying i did open both ports. i can do ssh but not ftp.
[05:10] <genii-around> Guest34521: I'll try to find a better one relating more directly
[05:10] <santanu> Oh! no!
[05:11] <Sierradump> rmitchell, what about the "device" listed at the TOP of the sound window, I have like 5 devices in there...
[05:11] <ejer> LoveGuru: is the ftp server responding at all

[05:11] <Sierradump> well right now it is on HDA nVidia mixes (alsa)... right underneat that it says CONNEXANT (oss)
[05:12] <ejer> LoveGuru: ok, but is it saying hello when you try to get in from outside? is it maybe only listening on localhost?
[05:12] <santanu> Thank you!
[05:12] <LoveGuru> ejer: i think its not listening at all
[05:12] <ejer> LoveGuru: you know you can do sftp with ssh?
[05:12] <genii-around> Guest34521: There is a more generic explanation here, but pretty good http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/devices-power-management/usb.php
[05:12] <ejer> LoveGuru: more secure, only one port, I use it
[05:13] <doors98> mikematis: thanks, i tried accesing ubuntu on windows using IP and it displayed the shared folder on Ubuntu, i'l try to assign a permanent ip then,
[05:13] <LoveGuru> ejer: ya i know i can do that ssh port. but i want to use it at port 21
[05:13] <rmitchell> sierradump, what does it list for your audio chipset in 'lspci'?
[05:13] <JON5000> hello.  i dont have ubuntu but i have a question... can i ask it here?
[05:13] <Flannel> JON5000: Is it an Ubuntu question?
[05:13] <mikematis> doors98: glad to help
[05:13] <Guest34521> genii-around: ok I'm trying the last one
[05:13] <genii-around> Guest34521: So "-1" is the autosuspend value you want for instance
[05:14] <Guest34521> genii-around: yup :)
[05:14] <ejer> LoveGuru: you see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ProFTPD
[05:14] <Guest34521> genii-around: do I use sudo instead of echo ?
[05:14] <JON5000> i hate my vista computer and am thinking of trying to dump it.  thinking of linux ubuntu.  is this possible?
[05:14] <LoveGuru> ejer: well i checked already :< but can't figure out.
[05:14] <MrCollins> ejer, this fixed my issue: http://onlyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/11/fix-for-no-sound-issue-in-ubuntu-810.html
[05:14] <Sierradump> rmitchell, nVidia corp. MCP51 High definition audio.
[05:15] <genii-around> Guest34521: You need admin right to write to that file. So proper way in Ubuntu is like:   echo "-1" | sudo tee -a /the/filepath/thefilename
[05:15] <Anacranom> JON5000, run it off the live cd to try it
[05:15] <genii-around> Guest34521: Where the path, etc is the /sys/wherever in the articles
[05:15] <Guest34521> genii-around: ok trying it now
[05:16] <JON5000> live cd?
[05:16] <ejer> LoveGuru: try connecting with telnet to see what is going on
[05:16] <doors98> mikematis: i couldnt find System > Preferences > Network Configuration on ubuntu, i just found System > Preferences
[05:16] <rmitchell> jon5000: a cd that will load up ubuntu in your ram, not touching your windows install at all
[05:16] <ejer> JON5000: check out http://wubi-installer.org/
[05:16] <mikematis> JON500: if your pc runs vista, it should run ubuntu. you can install ubuntu really easy from within vista.
[05:17] <JON5000> thanks anacronom.  One thing thats important to me is that i would be able to access files on this ubuntu computer from other pc's in the house that are connected wifi
[05:17] <p1und3r> can anyone help with my sound, i fricken downloaded updates in ubuntu and now my sound went out
[05:17] <Anacranom> JON5000, download the image from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download and burn that image to a cd, boot from the cd and play aroud with it
[05:17] <JON5000> doues ubuntu replace vista, or sit atop it
[05:17] <mikematis> doors98: My bad. Are you on 8.04? I'm on 8.10- that could be the diff.
[05:17] <n8tuser> doors98-> system->administration->network  or type  network-admin
[05:18] <rmitchell> sierradump: what packages did you install that might have messed with your sound, i think this issue is related to your skype problem
[05:18] <Anacranom> JON5000, if need be, after you've played around and decide if you want it, you can dual-boot-- have both your vista and your Ubuntu
[05:18] <doors98> mikematis: yap im stil on 8.o4, can i update to 8.10?
[05:18] <ejer> you choose JON5000 you can totally wipe it or install within windows, or share your hard drive
[05:18] <doors98> thanks nt8user
[05:19] <Sierradump> rmitchell, I installed xchat & skype .  I just messed with a few things let me see if that works.
[05:19] <ejer> JON5000: it is easy to share files https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/internet/C/networking-shares.html
[05:19] <mikematis> doors98: Stay on 8.04. Not that much different from 8.10.  Its System > Applications > Network
[05:20] <LoveGuru> ejer: i can't telnet to that host. reason " Connecting To foo.bar.com... Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed
[05:20] <xscottx3> terminal question, how would I go about deleting all files ina  folder using the terminal?
[05:20] <p1und3r> can anyone help with a gconfaudio problem
[05:20] <LoveGuru> ejer: becoz i didn't open port 23
[05:20] <cast> xscottx3: rm -r dir/
[05:20] <ejer> LoveGuru: yeah :) it is the ftp control port
[05:20] <JON5000> fascinating.  but does it depend on vista to work.  e.g. i am really ticked off with vista because it routinely fails to recognize an external drive i have hooked up... if ubuntu depends on vista, i fear that ubuntu would have the same trouble... am i misguided?
[05:20] <xscottx3> thank you
[05:20] <cast> xscottx3: that'll delete the folder, too
[05:20] <ejer> LoveGuru: no
[05:20] <rmitchell> sierradump: run 'aplay -l" and give the output
[05:20] <Guest34521> genii-around: We know the USB to ethernet device's directory is 1-2 because the device and bus numbers match the lsusb output.  --- this is really confusing
[05:21] <LoveGuru> ejer: but u know what i set port 21 not 23 :
[05:21] <ejer> LoveGuru: that is telnet port, you need to telnet to port 21
[05:21] <Anacranom> JON5000, no,,, totally separate
[05:21] <doors98> mikematis or nt8user: then after im inside network admin, how will i set my workgroup on ububtu?
[05:21] <xscottx3> how do I just delete the files within the folder?
[05:21] <ejer> LoveGuru: but you may need port 20 open
[05:21] <LoveGuru> ejer: i tried but same error "telnet foo.bar.com:21"
[05:21] <genii-around> Guest34521: What they mean, is, when you do: lsusb           and you see somewhere the 8187 adapter. The usb bus is in that line.
[05:21] <p1und3r> --- what does gconfaudiosink: failed to connect to stream mean? how can i fix this?
[05:22] <n8tuser> doors98-> workgroup is a microsoft concept not an open source
[05:22] <cast> xscottx3: rm -r dir/* will delete all non-hidden files
[05:22] <hmw_lfs> doors98: /etc/samba/smb.conf
[05:22] <JON5000> this is very inspiring.
[05:22] <genii-around> Guest34521: eg: my box here: Bus 005 Device 002: ID 0bda:8187 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.                       means 5-2
[05:22] <xscottx3> cast: thank you
[05:22] <ejer> LoveGuru: so port 21 is not listening, try restarting service, and check logs to make sure, use ps to see if it is there
[05:22] <trashypatches> I am trying to get flash 10 to work on 1.04, I have installed some scripts using terminal that I think are gonna need to be removed. Is there anyway to revert to back to default?

[05:23] <doors98> hmw_lfs: what is etc/samba?will i open and edit?
[05:23] <aravindubuntu> hi when i try to connect to pulseaudio server using pulse audio device chooser applet , its refusing connection. Someone please help
[05:23] <Guest34521> genii-around: I have Bus 007 and  device 002 and that folder doesn't exist
[05:23] <cast> trashypatches: either undo what you've done manually, reinstall, or revert to a older snapshot/backup, are your 3 options,
[05:23] <hmw_lfs> doors98 - there you set the workgroup. if it isnt there, you need to install samba.
[05:23] <ejer> trashypatches: don't know what scripts you ran
[05:23] <Guest34521> genii-around: 7-3

[05:24] <wos> could someone tell me how to get usb working on virtualbox please?
[05:24] <Sierradump> rmitchell,  HDA nVidia Conexant Digital, and HDA nVidia CONEXANT Analog
[05:24] <trashypatches> To reinstall I have the live cd made, but when I boot it up I get a dr.dos cmd prompt
[05:25] <trashypatches> how do I get the gui interface?
[05:25] <mikematis> doors98:  type "sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf" this will open a text editor so you can edit the samba config, where the workgroup setting is (Samba is a thing that lets linux and windows machines "talk" to eachother)
[05:25] <doors98> lfs: how will i access the conf?
[05:25] <ejer> wos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#USB
[05:25] <Guest34521> genii-around: sorry my bad, 7-2 doesn't exist
[05:25] <doors98> i see
[05:25] <wos> thanks alot ejer

[05:25] <Doonz> is there a command via ssh that will just show me cpu utilization %'s?
[05:25] <kelvin911> how to check my video card driver's version?
[05:25] <LoveGuru> ejer: whats the difference when i used host without port and with port
[05:26] <ejer> LoveGuru: in windows ftp?
[05:26] <cast> Doonz: using the load averages might be handy, but as for %'s, top will do that
[05:26] <ejer> Doonz: top
[05:26] <LoveGuru> yes i m trying to xs from windows
[05:26] <LoveGuru> ejer: my proftpd server is another unix box
[05:26] <ejer> LoveGuru: i am the wrong person to ask hehe, who knows what they are doing
[05:26] <faceface> how do I reset my network config?
[05:27] <genii-around> Guest34521: Does: ls /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb7/7-0:2.0                               show a list of files?
[05:27] <LoveGuru> ejer: nevamind. thanks for all
[05:27] <faceface> which files to delete, which to strip?
[05:27] <mikematis> Doonz: install htop. even better than top "sudo apt-get install htop"
[05:27] <ejer> LoveGuru: i suggest filezilla for a windows ftp client
[05:27] <LoveGuru> ejer: i m using WINscp
[05:27] <kelvin911> filezilla is good
[05:27] <ejer> faceface: /etc/network/interfaces
[05:27] <LoveGuru> ejer: i can't xs through winscp.
[05:27] <KlrSp1> still can't get this damn resume to work right

[05:27] <Sierradump> rmitchell, well that command got me to get Skype working!!!!  But the STUPID VOLUME CONTROL on the keyboard still controls the volume in the OS AND I am NOT getting the icon/soundmeter that I was getting originally - the volume is still really low.  I had to have done something?  ANyway I am going to reinstall everything tomorrow a.m.
[05:28] <Guest34521> genii-around: no such file or directory
[05:28] <iShock> How do I update intel 945GM drivers in Xubuntu? Anyone please?
[05:28] <Sierradump> Rmitchell, we will call today a "learning experience"... I botched the Skype install because I wasn't following the instructions very well...
[05:28] <fo_x86> how do I remove all files except for one in a directory?
[05:28] <wos> ejer where do i insert the text in that link you gave me?
[05:28] <ejer> iShock: you don't need to, it will update with update-manager
[05:28] <iShock> ejer how do I check latest version
[05:28] <genii-around> Guest34521: Ah. What says lsusb line which has your 8187?
[05:28] <hmw_lfs> fo_x86 move the file away, delete the rest, move it back
[05:28] <Sierradump> Hey thanks for everything guys! I gotta pass out now (too much turkey!!!!)   I'll catch you all online tomorrow a.m.
[05:29] <ejer> wos: it says in there
[05:29] <wos> i tried it!
[05:29] <wos> 5 times
[05:29] <fo_x86> hmw_lfs, there is no command that is equivalent to * minus a file?
[05:29] <ejer> iShock: it is built into the kernel, you have the latest if you are up to date
[05:29] <wos> could you help
[05:29] <iShock> ejer, BZFlag is detecting the version is from 2006 ...
[05:29] <cast> fo_x86: is your shell bash?
[05:29] <hmw_lfs> fo_x86 dont know. try "man mv"
[05:29] <genii-around> Guest34521: At any rate, you can see why I just don't bother much with it since it's less headache for me to just plug in a secondary ethernet adaper
[05:29] <Guest34521> there are 2 since I ahve to plugg in two, one is Bus 007 device 002, and second is Bus 003 device 003
[05:29] <fo_x86> cast, yea
[05:30] <ejer> wos: restart udev, you may have to reboot, and you have to be in vboxusers group, and you have to have logged out and back in
[05:30] <fo_x86> cast, is there a meta character that will do this?
[05:30] <wos> whats udev?
[05:30] <cast> fo_x86: you could load the extglob module and use rm !(pattern) to match everything except pattern
[05:30] <iShock> ejer, BZFlag is detecting the version is from 2006 ...
[05:30] <Guest34521> genii-around: but on their site it's simply confusing look at it again http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/devices-power-management/usb.php - Bus 001 Device 007: ID 050d:0121 Belkin Components F5D5050 100Mbps Ethernet - and they say that their device: We know the USB to ethernet device's directory is 1-2 because the device and bus numbers match the lsusb output.
[05:30] <cast> shopt -s extglob, will load the module
[05:31] <ejer> iShock: if you have latest kernel, you have latest driver, and I don't know what bzflag is
[05:31] <genii-around> wos: Basically the PNP system of linux
[05:31] <fo_x86> cast, thanks
[05:31] <wos> PNP?
[05:31] <iShock> a game, ejer it uses 3d opengl drivers, which is what I want to upgrade

[05:32] <iShock> ejer, how do I check the version?
[05:32] <Guest34521> genii-around: a typo as in only the bus counts ?
[05:32] <faceface> ejer, there is a lot of files under if-down.d  if-post-down.d  if-pre-up.d  if-up.d
[05:32] <ejer> uname -r iShock
[05:32] <genii-around> wos: udev detects devices and then assigns them /dev/names       so the system can use them
[05:32] <fr500> hi

[05:33] <iShock> 2.6.27-10-generic ejer

[05:33] <ejer> faceface: you can do this all by right clicking the network icon too
[05:33] <faceface> I keep seeing "eth1:ahvi" when I log in, then "no such interfce" when I try to configure
[05:33] <ejer> that is the latest iShock

[05:34] <iShock> ejer, then why aren't my gfx drivers up to date?
[05:34] <genii-around> Guest34521: Not sure. I'm not a USB expert :) But for a while I was setting my 8187 in this way to not power off all the time until I just got sick and got another card
[05:34] <ejer> faceface: what doesn't
[05:34] <faceface> ejer, I used to have NM, now I don't seem to have it
[05:34] <mikematis> gnight, all!
[05:34] <Guest34521> genii-around: haha ok, thanks I'm still going to try to fix it
[05:34] <ejer> faceface: try running it manually on terminal with nm-applet
[05:34] <faceface> ejer,  network-admin doesn't work after I log in
[05:34] <faceface> ejer, OK
[05:34] <iShock> ejer, how do I check the version of my gfx drivers?
[05:34] <doors98> if i  type "sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf" the message is no such file of directory if i remove the quotes its command not found

[05:41] <ejer> iShock: what is newest version? you think you do not have newest version?
[05:41] <iShock> ejer, I'm going to assume so, since my laptop is newer than 2006 ...
[05:41] <ejer> !suspend | KlrSp1
[05:42] <relisys> Anyone at all?
[05:42] <ejer> iShock: you should probably figure out if there is a new one

[05:43] <FAJ> rmitchell:  shoot
[05:43] <rmitchell> FAJ: any reason to stay in 8.04?
[05:43] <iShock> ejer, I don't think you get it, no offense.

[05:43] <Neurologic> Apparently I'm missing those O_o
[05:44] <ejer> iShock: i assure you i do, if you find a newer "driver", of which there is none since it is built into kernel, let me know, I will help you install it
[05:44] <FAJ> rmitchell:  yes; i finally got my wifi card working on one machine (it's a long and difficult process.... don't ask lol) and my other computer uses nvidia, so I wanna keep the effects.  also the screen is ubber frustrating to get configured correctly
[05:44] <relisys> ejer: I cannot seem to find that file or command
[05:44] <doraemon112> hihi
[05:44] <iShock> ejer, you seriously think there hasn't been any updates for OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GM 20061102 x86/MMX/SSE2 since 11/02/2006?? ...
[05:44] <relisys> xorgconfig
[05:45] <ejer> relisys: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:45] <FAJ> ejer:  that command sucks!
[05:45] <ejer> ok
[05:45] <ejer> it regenerates xorg.conf...
[05:45] <FAJ> it crashes right before monitor setup; leaving you with a half complete xorg.
[05:46] <ejer> i use it all the time
[05:46] <FAJ> never EVER worked for me.
[05:46] <ejer> what do you suggest
[05:46] <transporter> does anyone know how to use compiz???
[05:46] <faceface> Neurologic, apt?
[05:46] <Guest34521> What text editors other than gedit does ubuntu have?
[05:46] <faceface> ejer, you moved the position of auto?
[05:47] <Neurologic> faceface, are those the correct names?
[05:47] <doraemon112> mụch
[05:47] <FAJ> ejer:  removing xserver-xgl worked!
[05:47] <faceface> Guest34521, nedit
[05:47] <transporter> does anybody know how to use compiz????
[05:47] <faceface> Neurologic, try apt-cache search
[05:47] <ejer> faceface: i just made it right, I moved auto yes
[05:47] <doraemon112> editor mousepad
[05:47] <ejer> faceface: does it work now?
[05:47] <faceface> ejer, OK
[05:47] <rmitchell> transporter: do you mean enabling effects?
[05:47] <doraemon112> left editor
[05:47] <transporter> yes
[05:47] <Guest34521> faceface: it's not installed
[05:47] <faceface> ejer, Don't know - its only a problem after a reboot
[05:47] <Guest34521> faceface: I need one already installed
[05:48] <faceface> Guest34521, try ooffice?
[05:48] <transporter> can u help me rmitchell
[05:48] <iShock> What do I do with a git:// link?
[05:48] <ejer> Guest34521: in terminal there are some
[05:48] <Guest34521> faceface: but how do I open it as root ?
[05:48] <faceface> ejer, how can I simulate a reboot?
[05:48] <rmitchell> transporter: go to system | preferences | appearance and go to the 'visual effects' tab
[05:48] <Guest34521> ejer: yes what are those in the terminal
[05:48] <relisys> ejer:it keeps making me setup my keybaord
[05:48] <faceface> Guest34521, what do you want to do?
[05:48] <ejer> faceface: log out and in maybe
[05:48] <transporter> k
[05:48] <ejer> Guest34521: nano
[05:48] <iShock> ejer what do I go with a git url?
[05:48] <iShock> !git
[05:48] <Guest34521> faceface: edit a file that doesn;t open with gedit
[05:48] <Neurologic> faceface, that's just a really long list of nothing related to what I need =P apparently OpenGL is broken, and/or missing
[05:49] <faceface> ejer, network stays connected
[05:49] <transporter> yes rmitchell and then??
[05:49] <rmitchell> transporter: click normal and wait for the window manager to refreash
[05:49] <ejer> faceface: it is not same really
[05:49] <faceface> Guest34521, which file?
[05:49] <faceface> Guest34521, type "file MyFile" and paste the result
[05:50] <faceface> Neurologic, hmm...
[05:50] <iShock> ejer, I have newer drivers. How do I install them? :>
[05:50] <faceface> Neurologic, Not sure
[05:50] <Guest34521> faceface: no worries nano worked , it was autosuspend for usb power control.
[05:50] <transporter> k that's done now what rmitchell
[05:50] <Guest34521> ejer: thanks ejer
[05:50] <faceface> Cool
[05:50] <rmitchell> transporter: if it stays on normal, with no errors, then you're all set
[05:50] <prodigrl> sup all
[05:50] <ejer> iShock: where are they? link
[05:50] <transporter> rmitchell its on normal
[05:50] <bazhang> !ccsm | transporter
[05:50] <iShock> ejer, http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download/IntelGfx-20081024/mesa.tar.gz
[05:50] <Neurologic> Can someone help me install OpenGL and GTKGLExt? apparently they're broken/missing?
[05:51] <transporter> i downloaded everything compiz from the add/remove
[05:51] <bazhang> transporter, help for compiz in #compiz-fusion
[05:51] <ejer> http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html ishock but I warn you, I would not do this unless you are comfortable using linux
[05:51] <rmitchell> transporter: you should be able to see the animations and such now, try minimizing something
[05:51] <transporter> k
[05:51] <CaptainMorgan> anyone good with software raid? running the md check command shows that everything is working as normal... but after I set up the two drives, I unplugged one of the SATA connectors and after that my system froze - I had to reboot and luck behold I had to reinstall grub... the instructions I followed had me install grub on both drives in case a drive failed... how can I be confident I've got it set up correctly?
[05:52] <transporter> give me a hand in a bit of customizing and then i will kick it off myself
[05:52] <CaptainMorgan> two drives, raid 1
[05:52] <faceface> ejer, thanks very much for help, I'll let you know this time tomorrow if it worked ;-)
[05:52] <Guest34521> genii-around: I FIXED IT
[05:52] <faceface> thanks again
[05:52] <rmitchell> transporter: go to system | preferences | compizconfig settings manager
[05:52] <prodigrl> gyache 1.1 no cam-error "vid format not supprted by grab device"
[05:52] <prodigrl> any help?
[05:53] <genii-around> Guest34521: Nice going :)
[05:53] <Guest34521> genii-around: I can tell you how it's really easy
[05:53] <pan> anyone help me get flash sound working?
[05:53] <pan> for firefox32 in 64bit ubuntu?
[05:53] <transporter> im on it
[05:53] <transporter> and then what rmitchell
[05:53] <ejer> CaptainMorgan: it should not freeze, so... that seems a dif problem form grub though
[05:53] <Guest34521> genii-around: is there a way to test if it actually will not autosuspend ?
[05:53] <iShock> ejer: Error: Could not locate the pkg-config autoconf macros.
[05:54] <CaptainMorgan> ejer, do you have any recommendations on how I can check everything to be sure it's set up correctly?
[05:54] <rmitchell> transporter: from here on, its pretty much whatever you want. Most of the stuff you'll want to play with will probably be in "effects" or "window management"
[05:54] <iShock> ejer: Error: Could not locate the pkg-config autoconf macros.
[05:54] <ejer> CaptainMorgan: cat/proc/mdstat is what I use, as well as mdadm, definitely read the mdadm wiki and man page
[05:54] <genii-around> Guest34521: Hmm, not sure, other than it just keeps working at same speed, etc
[05:54] <rmitchell> there might be some stuff in "desktop" you want to play with too
[05:55] <transporter> k but for some awkward reason i don't seem to get it to work
[05:55] <CaptainMorgan> ejer, as I said earlier - md showed everything was in order...
[05:55] <ejer> iShock: you are not going to be able to do this, sorry, and it is not necessary
[05:55] <rmitchell> transporter: what do you mean/
[05:55] <CaptainMorgan> mdadm
[05:55] <ejer> CaptainMorgan: well, that is how you check :)
[05:55] <iShock> ejer, it is too, and yes, I can, how do I fix Error: Could not locate the pkg-config autoconf macros.
[05:55] <KlrSp1> anyone a hibernate master? i can get it to hibernate, but not resume
[05:55] <transporter> ok rmitchell can u give me an example plz
[05:55] <transporter> i wanna make the cube
[05:55] <ejer> well, I cannot help you iShock good luck
[05:55] <CaptainMorgan> ejer, so what possible explanation would there be for the system freezing on a simulated hard drive failure ?
[05:55] <iShock> Why not ejer
[05:56] <Jordan_U> iShock: When do you get that error?
[05:56] <user-05> lischyie
[05:56] <user-05> hyyyyyy
[05:56] <rmitchell> transporter: alright, for the cube, you're going to click "dekstop" and then check the box next to desktop cube
[05:56] <ejer> CaptainMorgan: a bug?  a hardware issue? lots of possibilities...
[05:56] <january> Hi all
[05:56] <transporter> and then??? rmitchell
[05:56] <ultrav1olet> Two questions: how can I bind network interfaces to my NIC MAC addresses and how can I up a network interface _without_ assigned IP address.
[05:57] <Guest34521> genii-around: oh ok thanks, and by the way, to know how I did it we just skipped the step where they cat the files. You don't necessarily have to cat the files since the GUI in ubunut can see the first number. You just have to look in folders that have only 2 numbers separated by a dash like 7-3 and then look at the files busnum and devnum, for me 7-3 had busnum 7 and devnum 2 which was the device
[05:57] <iShock> Jordan_U: Pastebinning
[05:57] <\Kira> Im trying to vnc into a remote system, and I get a connection refused error when I try to. I am not really familiar with what im doing, so I need a little help
[05:57] <user-05> an body here?
[05:57] <rmitchell> transporter: then click 'desktop cube', not the box, it will open the preferences. what you really want is the keystroke
[05:57] <Jordan_U> user-05: no
[05:57] <iShock> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77617/
[05:58] <Hiker1352> Can I wrap a socks proxy over a program before I run it?
[05:58] <rmitchell> transporter: mine is alt+super+down arrow, the super key will be your windows key on a PC keyboard
[05:58] <Jordan_U> Hiker1352: Yes, with soxify
[05:58] <cakey> super lol
[05:58] <transporter> i got ctrl alt down
[05:58] <n8tuser> ultrav1olet-> umm udev and using of iproute2 tool  ip
[05:59] <genii-around> Guest34521: I knew you'd find it empirically :)
[05:59] <iShock> Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/77617/
[05:59] <CaptainMorgan> ejer, mind if I private message you the output to cat /proc/mdstat to see if you notice anything peculiar ?
[05:59] <rmitchell> transporter: alright, press cnt+alt+down and see if thats the effect you want
[05:59] <Guest34521> genii-around: the problem is the numbers change after each restart
[05:59] <Hiker1352> Jordan_U: Is that installable with apt-get?
[05:59] <Guest34521> genii-around: so I have to do it again each time :(
[05:59] <user-05> hyyyyyyyyyy,,,,,,,,,,really i dont understand what you,re say
[05:59] <ejer> CaptainMorgan: paste it
[05:59] <transporter> should i click on enable this cube
[05:59] <ultrav1olet> n8tuser: I want to set up network interface automatically using /etc/network/interfaces
[05:59] <ejer> !paste | CaptainMorgan
[05:59] <Jordan_U> Hiker1352: Yes, the package name is dante-client
[05:59] <prodigrl> i did some reasearch out of 133 folks on my buddy list, only 4 have cam, all running linux
[05:59] <prodigrl> hrm
[05:59] <ultrav1olet> of course, I can use ip or ifconfig for that
[06:00] <CaptainMorgan> so is that a yes or no?
[06:00] <CaptainMorgan> http://pastecode.com/19401
[06:00] <Jordan_U> iShock: Where is autogen.sh from?
[06:00] <iShock> http://intellinuxgraphics.org/download/IntelGfx-20081024/mesa.tar.gz
[06:00] <kaiaphas> wazzup
[06:00] <iShock> Jordan_U: ^
[06:00] <transporter> rmitchell should i click on enable this cube
[06:00] <kaiaphas> I am new here
[06:01] <rmitchell> transporter: yes
[06:01] <ejer> looks ok CaptainMorgan
[06:01] <kaiaphas> wew
[06:01] <Ahadiel> Hiker1352, There's also tsocks
[06:01] <n8tuser> ultrav1olet-> so what is the question?
[06:01] <genii-around> Guest34521: Yes, thats why I went the route of another card, instead of trying to find where this gets set. Although a script somewhere in /etc/network/if-up.d           might do it
[06:01] <Jordan_U> iShock: What are you trying to do?
[06:01] <iShock> Update my mesa 3d drivers, Jordan_U
[06:02] <rmitchell> transporter: feel free to play around with the settings, change keyboard shortcuts, etc it won't screw anything up too bad
[06:02] <transporter> rmitchell i can see the cube but it just lays a bit flat
[06:02] <Jordan_U> iShock: Is there a reason you need to update them?
[06:02] <transporter> rmitchell its not what i exactly call a cube
[06:02] <iShock> Jordan_U: BZFlag. It's not going well with drivers from 2006
[06:03] <prodigrl> dual boot with winders? alot work for a dagum cam
[06:03] <rmitchell> transporter: you may want effects | "3d windows" instead
[06:03] <ejer> Jordan_U: i went through this already with iShock, have fun :)
[06:03] <Trashypatches> i'm having issues with firefox regarding flash.  Everytime i run youtube firefox freezes up and I have to force quit.  I just upgraded to the 64 bit 1.04. How do I get flash working??
[06:03] <devin_> ordinary shouldnt / be sda1?
[06:04] <prodigrl> trashy-had the same, ran opera, ran fine
[06:04] <ejer> Trashypatches: ubuntu 8.04?
[06:04] <transporter> rmitchell this thing it just lays flat on the ground and nothing else
[06:04] <Guest34521> genii-around: oh I don't know how to make scripts :(
[06:04] <Trashypatches> ejer: it ran fine with 8.04
[06:04] <Ahadiel> transporter, open ccsm => General Options => Desktop Size
[06:04] <iShock> Jordan_U: I know I probably shouldn't, but can you just help me get them installed? Please? :>
[06:04] <niklaus> how do i clone a harddisk , i 've around 9 partitions . i want to clone the complete harddisk
[06:04] <niklaus> ?
[06:05] <ejer> I just upgraded to the 64 bit 1.04. <- what is 1.04 Trashypatches
[06:05] <prodigrl> 9 parts? holy frak!
[06:05] <prodigrl> lol
[06:05] <transporter> Ahadiel im in desktop size now what??
[06:05] <Jordan_U> iShock: Can you pastebin the readme file? ( the file you linked to is 62 meg )
[06:05] <Ahadiel> transporter, Horizontal Size to 4, and Vertical Size to 1
[06:06] <ejer> niklaus: http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/
[06:06] <cakey> 62mb of readme
[06:06] <cakey> TLDR;
[06:06] <cakey> TL;DR
[06:06] <Trashypatches> ejer: sorry, the newest version of Ubuntu
[06:06] <iShock> http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html Jordan_U
[06:06] <Jordan_U> iShock: ... or maybe it isn't, it just finished at 1.3 meg
[06:06] <niklaus> ejer, it requires a live CD which i don't have currently .  Can i do it while running linux ?
[06:07] <shal3r> My Xorg always consumes about 10-30% of CPU (I got Celeron, 3.2GHz), even when all apps are closed. How to debug this?
[06:07] <transporter> Ahadiel should the number of desktops be 4???
[06:07] <Jordan_U> iShock: Have you installed all of the packages which that page says are required?
[06:08] <Ahadiel> transporter, Why are you using multiple question marks? It makes you seen demanding. Also, mine is set to 1 and it works fine.
[06:08] <iShock> Jordan_U: Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
[06:08] <Ahadiel> seem*
[06:08] <transporter> oh multiple question marks Ahadiel is my habit!!!
[06:08] <rmitchell> niklaus: google 'ubuntu clone hard drive' check out the first result. You'll have to use terminal, but the site explains it
[06:08] <ejer> Trashypatches: you could try http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html
[06:08] <transporter> its not about being demanding or anything like that :D
[06:08] <shal3r> transporter, bad habit.
[06:08] <genii-around> Ahadiel: I can see how that would get on your nerves
[06:09] <VistaUser> hey
[06:09] <transporter> thankyou for the applause shal3r
[06:09] <shal3r> transporter, you are welcome
[06:09] <ejer> niklaus: http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Dd
[06:09] <Ahadiel> genii-around, orly????? -_-
[06:09] <Trashypatches> ejer: I have tried that, when i unzipped it Ubuntu could not run the program
[06:09] <transporter> shal3r :P x 1000
[06:09] <prodigrl> http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/unix2.html

[06:09] <FAJ> hey trying to get friends video res to work, removed xserver-xgl, and i have the correct resolution, but terminal is PURE WHITE.  any help please?
[06:09] <iShock> Jordan_U: it's not finding some packages :<
[06:10] <ejer> Trashypatches: run it with 'sh flashinstaller....'
[06:10] <transporter> ok Ahadiel now what?
[06:10] <Trashypatches> ejer: ok
[06:10] <Ahadiel> transporter, Have you tried using the cube?
[06:10] <Jordan_U> iShock: What is the output of "which libtoolize" ?
[06:10] <transporter> no not yet
[06:10] <iShock> /usr/bin/libtoolize Jordan_U
[06:10] <transporter> the thing looks so flat
[06:10] <Ahadiel> transporter, Still?
[06:10] <ejer> FAJ: sis you disable desktop effects
[06:11] <transporter> i tried it when u told me
[06:11] <ejer> FAJ: did I mean lol
[06:11] <FAJ> lol ejer; no desktop effects even on right now
[06:11] <transporter> it just stays flat only when i press the buttons and stays there till those buttons are pressed
[06:11] <sjaak538> +i
[06:11] <Ahadiel> transporter, How are you changing desktops? (ie. rotating the cube)
[06:11] <ejer> FAJ: well, I don't think they will work without xgl, try it
[06:11] <Jordan_U> iShock: What packages is "it" not finding, and what is "it"? apt ?
[06:11] <macvr> hi all... i have a problem with my laptop wireless.... everytime i restart the laptop , if the power has been disconnected, the wireless doesnt start... i have to fiddle with the hardware key , and then restart again... how do i correct this?
[06:12] <FAJ> ejer; the forums said that removing xserver-xgl would MAKE them work...
[06:12] <Jordan_U> ejer: XGL is pretty much dead
[06:12] <transporter> i haven't tried anything as in yet Ahadiel
[06:12] <relisys> Are there any experts on xorg.conf?   i do dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and all it does is asks me tons of questions about my keyboard and nothing on the video.  please help me.. i have nvidia driver and their settings penal does not act as it should.
[06:12] <ejer> k
[06:12] <iShock> Jordan_U: Meh, I really am starting to hate *buntu :<
[06:12] <Ahadiel> transporter, Then how do you come to the conclusion that it's flat?
[06:12] <Ahadiel> transporter, Hold Ctrl + Alt + Left-Click and move your mouse back and forth.
[06:12] <iShock> My xorg.conf doesn't even have anything about i810 or intel Jordan_U
[06:12] <transporter> i press the given buttons it flattens out into 4 screens but no cube
[06:13] <FAJ> ejer; reinstalling gnome-terminal didn't work
[06:13] <Jordan_U> iShock: Well maybe you shouldn't try to replace core parts of the system for no good reason :)
[06:13] <relisys> any one can assist?
[06:13] <iShock> Jordan_U: There is a good reason.
[06:13] <Ahadiel> transporter, Try what I just said.
[06:13] <ejer> FAJ: like I said, I would try disabling desktop effects, or else look at the terminal preferences, you can change colors there
[06:13] <iShock> Jordan_U: What do I do with git:// links?
[06:13] <transporter> Ahadiel, please tell me what exactly do u want me to try?
[06:13] <Jordan_U> iShock: It doesn't need to, the driver should be auto detected and if it were listed in the xorg.conf the correct driver would be "intel" not i810
[06:13] <Ahadiel> transporter, Hold Ctrl + Alt + Left-Click and move your mouse back and forth.
[06:14] <relisys> Guys some help please
[06:14] <transporter> k
[06:14] <iShock> Jordan_U: What do I do with git:// links?
[06:14] <ejer> iShock: 2 people who know have now said it is a bad idea, maybe you should look for an alternate solution?
[06:14] <prodigrl> i drank way to much today "copy paste" not working lol
[06:14] <iShock> ejer, fine, you play a game where everyone else gets 100+ fps and you can't get over 40, see how well it works for you.
[06:14] <shal3r> My Xorg always consumes about 10-30% of CPU (I got Celeron, 3.2GHz), even when all apps are closed. How to debug this? In result, everything is slow.
[06:14] <ejer> relisys: what is the problem exactly
[06:15] <Static-> .
[06:15] <ejer> iShock: maybe it is not because you have an old driver
[06:15] <relisys> ejer: my current settings are 53hz
[06:15] <relisys> refresh rate
[06:15] <Jordan_U> iShock: You are using integrated graphics
[06:15] <relisys> i  need to set it to at least 60
[06:15] <Ahadiel> transporter, Any luck?
[06:15] <iShock> ejer, name other reasons then.
[06:15] <rmitchell> shal3r: you sure its xorg, or is it some other task?
[06:15] <conal> is there a fancy/pretty way to look at man pages on ubuntu?  i.e., nicer looking than nroff output in a terminal?
[06:15] <transporter> Ahadiel, nothing moves
[06:15] <FAJ> ejer that worked; what was the issue?
[06:15] <shal3r> rmitchell, `top` shows xorg
[06:15] <Jordan_U> iShock: Please don't repeat, you use git to get the code
[06:16] <Ahadiel> transporter, Then tell me this, what buttons did you press to see the 4 desktops?
[06:16] <ejer> FAJ: what worked? desktop effects?
[06:16] <iShock> But firefox doesn't recognize git:// links
[06:16] <FAJ> ejer:  ya
[06:16] <transporter> ctrl alt down
[06:16] <Ahadiel> transporter, Yeah, I think that's not the combination for the cube.
[06:16] <ejer> FAJ: i guess that was the issue, seems something is mal-configure
[06:17] <ejer> d
[06:17] <VistaUser> hey
[06:17] <iShock> Jordan_U: Any idea how to get better gaming fps without doing this?
[06:17] <Ahadiel> s/I think//
[06:17] <rmitchell> shal3r: system | administration | system monitor, you can sort by cpu usage see what the top tasks are
[06:17] <transporter> Ahadiel, that's what i think!
[06:17] <Ahadiel> transporter, If you open ccsm again, look under the "Desktop" heading and see if Desktop Cube and Rotate Cube are enabled.

[06:18] <prodigrl> can you drag and drop open windows into another dsktop
[06:19] <Ahadiel> DeviN, Is this a laptop and/or do you plan on using suspend/hibernate?
[06:19] <Jordan_U> iShock: First off, are you sure that your integrated graphics should can get better performance? Have you tried BZflag on the same computer with a different OS and gotten better FPS?

[06:19] <transporter> Ahadiel, its working better
[06:19] <ejer> DeviN: you can leave it default, but primary or logical is fine, make it 150% of ram if you want to hibernate
[06:19] <scunizi> DeviN, 1 gig max unless your using suspend/hibernate then 1.5x of memory
[06:19] <Jordan_U> iShock: Second, can you check that you are getting direct rendering by running "glxinfo | grep direct" ?
[06:19] <transporter> Ahadiel, cool
