[05:56] <binni> I just installed Xubuntu and I've installed the restricted package and ran the libdvdSOMETHING script, but Totem does not see my DVD, I also tried installing Rhythmbox but it doesn't see my audio cd, Exaile does see my audio cd though.
[05:56] <uRock> !ufw | heyboy
[05:56] <realopty> processroute, indeed.
[05:57] <nica> can someone please lend me a hand i am new to linux?
[05:57] <realopty> ke1ha, thanks but that didnt help :(
[05:57] <ke1ha> sri ..
[05:57] <realopty> there is a wiki or doc page on this
[05:57] <uRock> nica, just ask
[05:57] <Izinucs> nica: ya gotta ask a question
[05:57] <processroute> !dvd | binni
[05:57] <realopty> i cant find it lol
[05:57] <nica> ok
[05:58] <nica> well iam having problems with video and audio
[05:58] <sweetpi> realopty: is this it? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How%20do%20I%20resize%20the%20virtual%20disks?
[05:58] <nica> i can play the video but have not sound
[05:59] <heyboy> urock: I want to understand the ufw logs. there are a lot of [ufw block] entries. what is going on?
[05:59] <realopty> sweetpi, YAY you found it
[05:59] <realopty> http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html
[05:59] <nica> is there some sort of a audio codec that i need to intall ?
[05:59] <realopty> is the page i needed :D
[06:00] <abhijit> hello
[06:00] <realopty> thanks everyone :)
[06:01] <realopty> OMG
[06:01] <nica> yes, no, ask a better question?
[06:01] <heyboy> there seems to be a problem with youtube-dl downloader in ubuntu. any updates coming up?
[06:01] <maco> nica: no sound at all works? like if you run "speaker-test" you hear nothing? (should be static) or just in videos it doesnt work
[06:02] <nica> well i get the video working for youtube, avi, mp4, but i get no sound
[06:02] <picard1421> its not working..
[06:02] <picard1421> uighh
[06:02] <picard1421> w.e.
[06:02] <picard1421> im over it i guess.
[06:02] <FloodBot1> picard1421: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:02] <nica> and i get sound for mp3s
[06:02] <cjae> anyone watch video via html5? eg. youtube
[06:02] <iceroot> !anyone | cjae
[06:03] <Faethin> Guys
[06:03] <Faethin> Was the volume control applet removed completely from Gnome?
[06:03] <cjae> iceroot, that is the real one
[06:03] <Faethin> So that only Pulseaudio has it?
[06:03] <iceroot> cjae: then go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:04] <cjae> iceroot, why
[06:04] <iceroot> cjae: this is the ubuntu-support-channel
[06:04] <picard1421> so did anyone figure out how to change that splash screen?
[06:04] <Faethin> Pulseaudio is always at the bottom of ev'ry problem I've ever had with sound
[06:04] <iceroot> Faethin: its just not activated by default in lucid. its called indicator-applet
[06:04] <MrPocketz> so I'm totally blanking. If i want to have /dev/sda1 mount to /mnt/something  automatically at boot
[06:04] <MrPocketz> should i script it in rc.local?
[06:05] <MrPocketz> or is there an fstab config i can modify?
[06:05] <Faethin> ice799: how do I activate it?
[06:05] <Faethin> iceroot: how do I activate it?
[06:05] <iceroot> MrPocketz: /etc/fstab
[06:05] <iceroot> Faethin: right click on the panel, add applet, then choose the indicator-applet
[06:05] <MrPocketz> iceroot, thanks
[06:06] <joeyyyy> any one own a intel atom board ?
[06:06] <cablop> what is the best and more complete codec package?
[06:06] <thune3> heyboy: i just get youtube-dl from http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/downloads , since it has to change often to keep up with any changes in youtube.com
[06:06] <cablop> joeyyyy: anyone with a netbook :P
[06:06] <nica> how can i run the speaker test?
[06:06] <Faethin> iceroot: I uninstalled pulseaudio because it was messing up my sound and my mic
[06:06] <iceroot> cablop: ubuntu-restricted-extras is pulling w32-codecs i guess
[06:06] <Faethin> iceroot: does that mean no volume applet for me?
[06:07] <iceroot> Faethin: yes, the applet comes from pulseaudio if i am correct
[06:07] <Izinucs> Faethin: I have one.. when I right mouse click and "about" it says "Indicator Aplet 0.3.7
[06:08] <Faethin> iceroot: but that was not the case with the previous releases of Ubuntu. I read somewhere that this was a first, just for gnome 2.26
[06:08] <jerrym> hey all!
[06:08] <jerrym> how's everyone?
[06:08] <Faethin> Izinucs: I don't have pulseaudio, so it seems I won't be getting the applet
[06:08] <processroute> guampa: i posted on brainstorm also, any luck posting to ubuntuforums?
[06:08] <zkriesse> Hello jerryluc
[06:08] <zkriesse> Hello jerrym
[06:08] <cablop> let me give them a try iceroot :)
[06:09] <maco> nica: open a terminal (type "terminal" in the menu's search thing) and type "speaker-test" in the terminal, then hit enter and listen
[06:09] <jerrym> i am new here, but hope to bcome regular
[06:10] <nica> ok
[06:10] <nica> what info would you like from the speaker test?
[06:10] <Izinucs> Faethin: Mine is a stock install.. did you remove pulse?
[06:11] <Faethin> Izinucs: I did. It was messing up my sound and mic
[06:11] <abhijit> zkriesse, :)
[06:11] <zkriesse> Oh hello abhinav_singh
[06:11] <Faethin> Izinucs: perhaps it had to do with the fact that I'm using a custom kernel
[06:11] <zkriesse> Oh hello abhijit
[06:11] <Izinucs> Faethin: could be..
[06:11] <binni> Totem doesn't see my audio cd, I'm using Xubuntu, for some reason Exaile sees it though.
[06:11] <guampa> processroute: i'm writing the post... but i'm no native english speaker, + the solution is fairly complex, so i'ts a bit difficult for me to write :)
[06:11] <maco> nica: do you hear anything?
[06:12] <abhijit> zkriesse, hows you doing?
[06:12] <Faethin> Izinucs: which I had to, since my lappy never took off without it unless I turned off ACPI
[06:12] <nica> nothing in my speaker or headset
[06:12] <maco> nica: run "alsamixer" and check that everything's up and there's nothing with "MM" on it?
[06:12] <jerrym> sounds like exhaile comes with the codecs or awareness of your multimedia hardware...
[06:12] <Izinucs> Faethin: you didn't need a custom kernel to turn off acpi..
[06:12] <processroute> guampa: ok, when you get a chance, vote on a solution at brainstorm.ubuntu.com when its approved, thanks again
[06:12] <binni> oh wait Totem does see it now..
[06:13] <Faethin> Izinucs: of course not. But I wanted ACPI functionality.
[06:13] <Izinucs> Faethin: ah
[06:13] <Faethin> Izinucs: stoopid pulseaudio ¬¬
[06:14] <binni> but it's not able to play it like Exaile
[06:14] <guampa> processroute: isn't brainstorm.ubuntu.com for feature reqs?
[06:14] <maco> guampa: yep
[06:15] <processroute> guampa: yeah, i think there should be an easy way to do it built in the ubuntu kernel
[06:17] <dustin> sparky.< are you here?
[06:17] <jerrym> good night everyone. and thanks for the welcome here. will be back again, soon.
[06:17] <dustin> good night
[06:17] <jerrym> :-)
[06:18] <guampa> i don't think forcing a program to use a specific interface fits in that place then...not something that many ppl would want to do imho
[06:18] <abhijit> bye
[06:20] <processroute> guampa: i don't know why not, seems common place for users that have more than one isp or vpn
[06:21] <guampa> to be honest, it is the first time i hear someone want to do that, and anyway if it was so common why aren't there a lot of google results with the answer?
[06:22] <Kelson_> Hey
[06:22] <processroute> !hi | Kelson_
[06:22] <Kelson_> Does canonical's oft-touted community want to give me some advice
[06:22] <processroute> !ask | Kelson_
[06:27] <Mr_Sonoma> what do you need advice on Kelson_ ?
[06:27] <Kelson_> I'm having trouble installing 10.04 on my Dell studio 1555. I have a 250 gb hard drive, 200gb of which is an ntfs partition with my data, i also have a 100mb ext4 partition that I mount as /boot, a 4gb swap space, and the remaining 46gb i mount as /. I've tried three installs from two separate discs now, and they work just fine, but when i reboot I get an error: "Gave up waiting for root device." does anyone have any suggestions?
[06:28] <mintux> I don't have sound icon in applet manager also keyboard language in ubuntu 10.4
[06:28] <iceroot> mintux: add the applet "indicator-applet" to your panel
[06:29] <quiescens> um
[06:29] <guampa> processroute: there i posted my answer at ubuntuforums
[06:29] <quiescens> mm
[06:29] <mintux> iceroot: and for keyboard layout  ?
[06:29] <iceroot> mintux: have a look at the list of applets
[06:29] <processroute> guampa: thank you, hopefully they will append the Ubuntu kernel to allow this easier in future releases
[06:29] <quiescens> technically
[06:30] <quiescens> what you can do is write up something as a preload, that adds the appropriate SO_BINDTODEVICE business to any network calls
[06:31] <cablop> is there something better than the default media player?
[06:31] <Mr_Sonoma> Kelson_, while i don't disagree with a seperate /boot why do you have it? I typically do a seperate /home partition and thats it. the rest is in / don't know if that's the issue or not.
[06:31] <guampa> processroute: youre welcome, if you like the solution i can help you to implement it, just letme know. i don't think it will/should be implemented in kernel space though, instead it's a perfect candidate for a userspace solution
[06:31] <Mr_Sonoma> Kelson_, do you get any other error codes that may help in leading to an answer?
[06:32] <processroute> quiescens: i saw this somewhere on the internet, let me find that link again
[06:32] <processroute> guampa: i'll add that suggestion to brainstorm now
[06:32] <mintux> iceroot: I did but where is keyboard ? http://up.iranblog.com/Files1/eb24d218ac1f419c871a.png    http://up.iranblog.com/Files1/863946481f00452a9f7d.png
[06:32] <quiescens> I'm just thinking along the lines of the more common trickle bandwidth limiter
[06:32] <quiescens> where instead of limiting bandwidth use, you can put a SO_BINDTODEVICE flag
[06:33] <iceroot> mintux: hm i thought its in that list
[06:33] <cablop> cause it hink the default ubuntu mediaplayer is too slow :S
[06:33] <iceroot> mintux: but i am not using that applet so i dont know, sorry
[06:34] <Kelson_> Mr_Sonoma, I have the separate /boot partition at the suggestion of a friend, that it might fix the problem I was having. I'm not entirely wedded to the idea of a separate /boot partition. There are no other error codes, after telling me that the problem could be with the boot arguments it j ust gives me a shell
[06:34] <mintux> ok
[06:35] <quiescens> it would save any kernel trickery and shouldn't need to use superuser privs
[06:35] <processroute> guampa: i've been looking for an operator to do this or something for years, but at least today, options as yours exist
[06:36] <cablop> is deluge lighter than ktorrent
[06:36] <guampa> well rpdb and iptables exist in their actual forms for a couple of years now
[06:36] <cablop> i see that deluge is too heavy
[06:36] <cablop> i mean ktorrent
[06:36] <processroute> quiescens: no, this is the same as attaching PID to an address, not network device, that can be done easier through route
[06:36] <Rosbuntu> can anyone help with my screen going black problem?
[06:36] <cablop> it's running slow... but maybe cause i'm running it inside  gnome
[06:36] <Mr_Sonoma> Kelson_, i'm not promising anything, but take a look at this. And possibly follow the link there to the ubuntu community docs on grub2. You may find this useful: http://techgage.com/news/repairing_a_broken_grub_2_boot-loader_on_ubuntu/
[06:36] <processroute> guampa: well, i don't think anyone put the two and two together
[06:37] <aLeSD> hi all
[06:37] <Kelson_> Mr_Sonoma, thank you, ill be back on later if that doesn't work.
[06:37] <aLeSD> could u suggest me a dockbar ?
[06:37] <quiescens> yeah but playing with route and iptables requires superuser normally
[06:37] <processroute> Rosbuntu: System -> Preferences -> Power Management
[06:37] <guampa> haha, that could be the case. anyway i'm interested in the problem as, odd as it seems for me, it looks a cool resource
[06:38] <Rosbuntu> processroute,  then
[06:38] <guampa> yes it can come in handy when you have 2+ isps or whatnot
[06:38] <processroute> Rosubuntu: put display to sleep: Never
[06:38] <quiescens> with an appropriately written library, you would be able to do: LD_PRELOAD=nameoflibrary.so IFACE=eth3 (commandline)
[06:38] <processroute> guampa: yeah, or an isp and a vpn
[06:39] <guampa> yep
[06:39] <Rosbuntu> processroute,  put it
[06:39] <quiescens> processroute: for example, http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-net/msg09560.html is very close
[06:39] <processroute> Rosbuntu: put it = set it = select it
[06:39] <quiescens> processroute: add a little bit of error handling, and make it so that the interface is set in an environment variable instead of hardcoded
[06:39] <Rosbuntu> processroute, selected it and set it
[06:39] <Rosbuntu> :D
[06:40] <cablop> mmmm
[06:40] <cablop> no mediaplayer recommendation?
[06:40] <Rosbuntu> processroute,  my problem is when my screen goes black i cannot do anything.. i need to restart my pc .. and the black screen happens when i want to deal with some graphics job like turning on screen saver.. or something like this
[06:40] <SingAlong> does anyone use ChucK? I tried to install it on my ubuntu 10.04 netbook and used make linux-alsa but it says segmentation fault when I try to run chuck.
[06:40] <Kelson_> Mr_Sonoma, now that I'm on a computer, can you send me that link again? I feel silly for losing it
[06:40] <Mr_Sonoma> Kelson_, i'm not promising anything, but take a look at this. And possibly follow the link there to the ubuntu community docs on grub2. You may find this useful: http://techgage.com/news/repairing_a_broken_grub_2_boot-loader_on_ubuntu/
[06:41] <Mr_Sonoma> Kelson_, there you go
[06:41] <processroute> Rosbuntu: you can always access various screens with alt+ctrl+FX to toggle to a new screen, try that
[06:41] <Kelson_> cablop, Banshee is a good media player that can be installed via synaptic package manager
[06:41] <guampa> processroute: what about intercepting with LD_PRELOAD as quiescens suggests?
[06:41] <processroute> Rosbuntu: then to restart X you can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[06:41] <processroute> guampa: i don't follow
[06:42] <Rosbuntu> processroute,  my computer hangs when the black screen happens and i cant do anything without restarting but hard disk light i  can see in my cpu is normal bit
[06:42] <cablop> Kelson_: bansee, it'll suit my music needs :P hehe but for video, do you know one
[06:42] <Kelson_> cablop, well, there's always VLC
[06:42] <processroute> Rosbuntu: oh, i have had that happen on occasion, good question, usually i have to alt+ctrl+del to restart it when that happens, as this is ok for a casual user
[06:43] <processroute> guampa: where http://daniel-lange.com/archives/53-Binding-applications-to-a-specific-IP.html binds to an IP though, not a network device/interface
[06:43] <shawnboy> Can someone help me rename multiple directories? I've googled but not found anything that seems to match what I need.
[06:44] <Rosbuntu> processroute,  but u know its disgusting it happens anytime.. like it happens when i m chating with my frnds.. and if i restart my pc that means i sign off.. man its really mean to my frnd
[06:44] <processroute> guampa: is binddev a variable?
[06:44] <shawnboy> I want to rename sever directories from 123-xyz to 987-xyz
[06:44] <saegeoff> shawnboy, use a scripting language
[06:44] <quiescens> guampa: oh wait, bindtodevice still requires privelidges, i suppose both solutions require elevated privelidge
[06:44] <processroute> Rosbuntu: is this the error you get: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869245
[06:44] <guampa> processroute: no, it refers to the device you would be forcing calls to socket() to bind to
[06:45] <dustin> hi yall
[06:45] <shawnboy> actually it's more like 123-xyz-disc-1 , disc-2, disc-3
[06:45] <saegeoff> shawnboy, I have had to do things like that in the past and I did scripts I made in gedit
[06:46] <shawnboy> saegeoff, does perl come out of the box with ubuntu? I hate to install something just for this.
[06:47] <ghostpadxa> The brightness applet is not working.can anybody help me please?
[06:47] <saegeoff> Shawnboy:  I dont think you need perl.  Personally, I would use python before perl.  Though, I don't believe you should need either.  Look up on writing basic terminal scripts online
[06:47] <processroute> !brightness | ghostpadxa
[06:48] <processroute> ghostpadxa: are you on a HP 6735s?
[06:48] <Rosbuntu> processroute,  he can access his terminal i cannot access my terminal
[06:48] <Rosbuntu> when the black screen happens
[06:48] <shawnboy> saegeoff, most use reg expressions, which make my brain hurt.
[06:48] <ghostpadxa> processroute: no p co
[06:49] <saegeoff> shawnboy:  I dont know if this is useful or not, I just found it in a quick search.  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO.html
[06:49] <shawnboy> I'll take a look. thanks saegeoff
[06:49] <ponraj> hai
[06:50] <saegeoff> shawnboy:   no problem... It may take you as long to learn it as it would just to manually do it.  Though its probably worth learning this now because it will pay off down the road.
[06:50] <processroute> Rosbuntu: does the screenblanking accompany the screensaver initalizing
[06:50] <processroute> !hi | ponraj
[06:50] <Rosbuntu> processroute,  no
[06:51] <bevil> hello
[06:51] <Rosbuntu> processroute,  its goes black and there are vertical lighting in half of the screen
[06:51] <ponraj> about telnet
[06:51] <shawnboy> saegeoff, that's what I thought... I could've had it done by now, but I don't like not knowing how to do it the "better" way.
[06:52] <processroute> Rosbuntu: http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php?tid=512912 this person's screen went black and had verticle lighting in half the screen
[06:52] <bevil> how can i use chinese input method with scim? the C-space switch doesn't work here. I've also added a startscim.sh in Autostart/
[06:52] <Rosbuntu> processroute,  ok
[06:52] <saegeoff> shawnboy:  yeah me too.  its worth learning for these silly projects
[06:52] <bevil> any idea?
[06:52] <bazhang> bevil, use ibus, its replacing scim
[06:53] <Mr_Sonoma> Kelson_, was that of any help?
[06:53] <processroute> Rosbuntu: here is that page unlocked: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:jJscz3JEpYoJ:www.hackforums.net/showthread.php%3Ftid%3D512912+http://www.hackforums.net/showthread.php%3Ftid%3D512912&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
[06:56] <processroute> Rosbuntu: also, you might want to follow this thread via email (and add yourself to the users encountering this bug): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/578167
[06:56] <Rosbuntu> ok
[06:57] <Jordan_U> Kelson_: Try adding the "rootwait" kernel parameter at boot (hold shift to get the grub menu, press 'e' to edit the entry, press ctrl+X to boot the edited entry).
[06:57] <bevil> bazhang: ibus is cool, but can't find it in the mirror.
[06:57] <Kelson_> Jordan_U thank you, i just read a line in a help article that said the same thing :P
[06:57] <bazhang> bevil, make sure the main repos are enabled in software sources
[06:57] <Jordan_U> bevil: It's installed by default, what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[06:58] <bazhang> bevil, its in main
[06:58] <bevil> Jordan_U: 8.10
[06:58] <aswin> is ther a way to turn off backlight in laptop keyboard in linux?
[06:58] <Jordan_U> bevil: Any reason you havent upgraded to 10.04?
[06:59] <bevil> Jordan_U: mine is another dist based on ubuntu
[06:59] <Jordan_U> !mint | bevil
[06:59] <bevil> thanks, so i should get the scim work for me
[07:00] <bazhang> bevil, get to the channel of your distro; which one is it
[07:00] <bevil> bazhang: ok
[07:00] <aswin> cn i turn of backlight in keyboards?
[07:01] <saegeoff> aswin:  can't you turn that off in your bios settings ?
[07:01] <Jordan_U> bevil: Even if you were actually using Ubuntu, I don't think that 8.10 is even supported any more (so it's not even getting security updates).
[07:01] <rkj> hello, I recently did a routine software update on my ubuntu 8.04 system and since then, I cannot get flash video to play in firefox (or knoquerer for that matter)
[07:01] <rkj> anybody know how to fix it?
[07:01] <fishcooker> i want to login manager standalone
[07:01] <fishcooker> the simple one
[07:02] <fishcooker> any reference
[07:02] <saegeoff> aswin:  ubuntu probably wont support something proprietary like that.
[07:02] <aswin> too bad :(
[07:02] <aswin> thnx sageoff
[07:02] <Jordan_U> aswin: It depends on the laptop / keyboard. (I can controll the backlight on my laptop's keyboard).
[07:03] <Rosbuntu> processroute they dont help :(
[07:03] <aswin> i'm able to use te rest of function like reducing brightness,turning on wifi,mute nd all..but the button for backlight doesnt work
[07:04] <aswin> yesterday wen i closed the lid of my laptop ubuntu got stuck?is it a problem on my side or is it ubuntu's problem?
[07:04] <saegeoff> aswin:  thats probably because its too rare to support.  Give it a few years, i think they will become more popular and better supported
[07:04] <aswin> k
[07:04] <saegeoff> aswin:  what got stuck?
[07:05] <aswin> the os?not the lid :) the system just hanged..i couldnt get it back running nd i forced it to shut dwn
[07:05] <MaRk-I> aswin: check in power management settings if it's set up to suspend/hibernate when closing lid, and change it to blank screen instead
[07:06] <masoncloud> Could someone please advise which netboot works best with Ubuntu? Does System76 put together nice machnes?
[07:06] <maco> masoncloud: yes they do
[07:07] <masoncloud> @maco, thank you!
[07:07] <maco> masoncloud: i just got a zareason terra hd which i like quite a lot, though i was one of the first to get it, so i know theyre already working on fixing the couple (minor) bugs the first two of us hit
[07:07] <aswin> it was set to suspend on closing lid
[07:07] <maco> masoncloud: and by first to get it, i mean it was released last week ;-)
[07:07] <maco> masoncloud: id expect within a couple weeks itll be perfect
[07:08] <maco> masoncloud: ive heard of no bugs with zareason's teo
[07:09] <masoncloud> maco, lol. I'm still currently one my ASUS 701 with 4GB SSD, lol! I have been on Zareason's & System76's websites allot lately
[07:09] <maco> masoncloud: the minor bug on the terra is that i have to click the "suspend" option in the machine instead of just closing the lid...which is what i usually do anyway
[07:09] <rkj> aswin that's been my experience too, at least ubuntu 8.04 - the suspend/hibernate modes basically don't work reliably, so I reverted to just blanking the screen
[07:09] <maco> masoncloud: er in the os i mean. i havent tried the keyboard button
[07:09] <rkj> aswin the screen is about half the power consumption of the laptop
[07:10] <maco> masoncloud: if you join #zareason, cheri has a teo and solarion and i have terras, if you want to hear from users
[07:11] <masoncloud> maco, thank you so much for the info!
[07:11] <Jarhead> Hello, i need help with a vpn issue
[07:11] <maco> masoncloud: np. im a big fan of buying linux systems and supporting companies that support us
[07:13] <masoncloud> DITTO, I've been a HUGE fan of this little guy (ASUS 701) but it's time for a bigger screen res, lol
[07:13] <maco> masoncloud: ouch and a bigger keyboard
[07:14] <masoncloud> maco > Yup, that too, you have a greaat night and again, thank you!
[07:15] <raddy> Hello Everybody
[07:15] <Jarhead> hi
[07:15] <raddy> Isn't there an updated PPA for tracker?
[07:15] <raddy> The current Tracker team ppa still has a very old version.
[07:15] <xangua> then try the unstable ppa raddy
[07:16] <raddy> xangua: unstable ppa has a old version of unstable branch.
[07:16] <Jarhead> Why cant i connect to anything "google"
[07:22] <plum-mobile> Hey guys
[07:22] <plum-mobile> My dad is trying to install ubuntu from his laptop
[07:22] <plum-mobile> The progress bar is stuck at 79
[07:22] <saegeoff> plum-mobile: from or to?
[07:22] <plum-mobile> saegeoff: to
[07:23] <plum-mobile> Sorry I should have clarified :x
[07:23] <|ns|nR8> tried another disc plum-mobile ?
[07:23] <plum-mobile> It says "Retrieving file 13 of 28"
[07:23] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  dual booting or single boot?
[07:23] <plum-mobile> saegeoff: dual booting
[07:23] <kuku> hi
[07:23] <fiber> hi.... i was wondering what the name for the program is to change the restricted drivers.  I downgraded the graphics driver and now i can only see half the screen (and can't get back to the window!).
[07:23] <saegeoff> plum:  it may be trying to download from the repos online.
[07:24] <plum-mobile> |ns|nR8: I used the same disk and it worked on mine...
[07:24] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  how long has it been stuck?
[07:24] <plum-mobile> saegeoff: it has been there for almost an hour at 79%, but the number of files its retrieving changes.
[07:25] <plum-mobile> Now this is about a 5 year old laptop btw
[07:25] <|ns|nR8> plum-mobile has it got network cable plugged into it ?
[07:25] <fiber> can someone please check what the program name for the gui to change the restricted drivers is (the one in system->administration)
[07:25] <maco> fiber: jockey
[07:26] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  its just downloading files really slow.  you have have to just let it go for a long time
[07:26] <fiber> maco: thanks!
[07:26] <Jarhead> Hey, I'm having problems with my vpn connection, it seems that google traffic wont go through it....
[07:26] <Guest65266> update to lucid made it impossible to mount my card reader, have tried many fixes from the forum, no joy, any ideas?
[07:26] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  if it is changing the files then it is downloading, just slowly
[07:27] <plum-mobile> I didn't know ubuntu had to download files...what happens if you press Skip?
[07:27] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  it will just postpone the updates until a later time.  you can press that
[07:27] <plum-mobile> Sweet
[07:28] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  I do suggest you get the updates installed asap though.
[07:28] <plum-mobile> saegeoff: so is it actually updating to a newer version of ubuntu then?
[07:28] <rkj> jarhead is there any chance you have some sort of tunneling setup that doesn't allow external sites from your provate network?
[07:28] <gryllida> How do I archive a directory?
[07:28] <Marco01> hey guise sorry to nag you with this. I'm using ubuntu to recover some files from a damaged HD in an old toshiba laptop. The lappy tells me she it will take her like 60 hours to copy all the files. She's been doing progress, and the stimate seems to be right. It's been on now for some 8 hours. Should I put it to rest some time, or can I just leave it working, like I would do with a desktop pc?
[07:28] <gryllida> in Terminal
[07:28] <Jarhead> i'm a begginner....
[07:28] <gryllida> me too
[07:28] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  not necessarily.  It is just getting the recent updates
[07:28] <dustin>  welcome newbies
[07:28] <gryllida> :)
[07:29] <Jarhead> i can see certain websites, but they always get hung up at "conneting to www.google.com"
[07:29] <plum-mobile> saegeoff: thank you for the help on this. We will keep watching it
[07:30] <marekt> hi, i have my laptop connected to wifi network, can i still share internet connection to other computer via wifi?
[07:30] <saegeoff> Marco01: just let it run, there should be no problems.
[07:30] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  good luck!
[07:30] <RealOpty> ive changed my swap space to a smaller size. how do i ;regenerate; a new fstab?
[07:30] <rkj> jarhead what happens if you try to ping google.com?
[07:30] <Jarhead> how do i do that?
[07:30] <testy> Hello, is there a way to permantly block websites in ubuntu(like forever)? I know about the /etc/hosts file but It's still possible for someone to change this file and unblock websites. Any ideas?  Thank you
[07:31] <WarrenSH> check this cool read out
[07:31] <WarrenSH> http://linuxologist.com/7-apps/7-instances-of-kde-appearances-on-the-silver-screen/
[07:31] <Marco01> thanks a lot saegeoff!
[07:31] <plum-mobile> How does the wireless driver get the WEP to connect and download the updates if its installing?
[07:31] <rkj> jarhead in a terminal window, type "ping google.com" and it will send test packets and wait for a response. It will keep doing that until you press ctrl-c.
[07:32] <Guest65266> since lucid upgrade I can see my card reader via lsusb but not my card via fdisk -l, how to find it?
[07:32] <kuku> hi i am using ubuntu 10.10 i386 . is there any 64bit version?
[07:32] <Jarhead> ok, i'll fire up the vpn and try
[07:32] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  good question.  maybe it isnt connected and it just is attempting each file until it times out on each attempt.  Just skip that process for now
[07:32] <mintux> I got a lot of error when I try to install theme on ubuntu . is it possible to install theme manually means extract it and put right where
[07:32] <kronos23> hola a todos
[07:32] <plum-mobile> saegeoff: alright we'll skip it
[07:33] <dustin> yes you can
[07:34] <kronos23> alguna mujer para charlar???
[07:34] <plum-mobile> It seems to be lagging now that Skip was pressed
[07:34] <Jarhead> the ping came back fine...
[07:34] <kronos23> no tengo sueño
[07:34] <mintux> errors like : "Vista" does not appear to be a valid theme.   |  Can't move directory over directory  |  Insufficient permissions to install the theme in: /home/mrg/.themes
[07:34] <mintux> dustin: how to
[07:34] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  any luck?
[07:35] <gryllida> how do I grant everyone readonly access to a file?
[07:36] <plum-mobile> saegeoff: web browser works, he clicked a link in the installer
[07:36] <dustin> to all those in this channel i make vidoes , so you can see how to do it
[07:36] <staar2> hello
[07:36] <saegeoff> plum-mobile:  good!
[07:37] <Guest65266> gryllida:  chmod a+r filename
[07:37] <dustin> mintux, hey what do you want to do again?
[07:37] <dustin> hi star
[07:37] <Sleepwalker_Dima> Hi guys
[07:37] <mintux> dustin:  I want to install themes that I downloaded but I got a lot of errors
[07:37] <jefimenko> i'm in the middle of an ubuntu install at a point where it's asking me which partition to install grub on. no matter what i select, the following page tells me that i haven't chosen any partitions to install grub to and asks me to confirm. is there any way that i can manually install grub from here to ensure that my system reboots properly?
[07:38] <mintux> so if I can do it manually like extract it
[07:38] <mintux> it's helpful
[07:38] <gryllida> Guest65266, I thought it's 'o+r'
[07:39] <Guest65266> a=all
[07:39] <ghostpadxa> wat does hacker mean
[07:39] <Sleepwalker_Dima> I'm so noob on IBM server XD I need a very pro man, I've got problem to detct the network hardware
[07:39] <staar2> ok i got problem with fonts in web page these are too small by default, where i can set larger ?
[07:40] <Docteh> might want to try a dictionary for that ghostpadxa
[07:40] <Docteh> !hackers
[07:40] <Sleepwalker_Dima> Installation kernel panic old server IBM (It working with debian)
[07:41] <ghostpadxa> ok i want to a hacker
[07:41] <saegeoff> Sleepwalker_Dima:  this is not focused on servers.  are you trying to install ubuntu server
[07:41] <Sleepwalker_Dima> Yes
[07:41] <PureSine> Hi, I have a hard disk that I want to be used by users, when a user tries to access it it gives message unable to mount the disk not authorized. I went to admin account and executed sudo chown username /media/ HDDname and it was OK then but after I restarted the system again it gives me the same message that I'm not authorized ! I have to mention that II'm very new to linux
[07:41] <Guest65266> there are no 1337 haX0rs here
[07:41] <Docteh> ghostpadxa: you want to be one?
[07:41] <Sleepwalker_Dima> XD
[07:41] <ghostpadxa> Doctech: yer
[07:42] <sweetpi> ghostpadxa: kernel.org have at it
[07:42] <Sleepwalker_Dima> XD a litle lamer is borning
[07:42] <norman_> hola  como hago para que xubuntu tenga sonido
[07:42] <Docteh> PureSine: what fs is it?
[07:42] <sweetpi> !es | norman_
[07:42] <PureSine> doctech How can I see that ? I used the defaults
[07:43] <Sleepwalker_Dima> During installation kernel panic on hardware detect
[07:43] <Docteh> i guess you could just look at /proc/mounts
[07:43] <saegeoff> Sleepwalker_Dima:  Sorry, I cannot help you.  That seems to be a specific case that you will have to ask someone with experience in that field.  Try to server chatroom or the message boards
[07:43] <Sleepwalker_Dima> kk Thx ^^
[07:44] <ghostpadxa> sweetpi: ok i have connected to that site wats next
[07:44] <Sleepwalker_Dima> Now i try with 8.04
[07:44] <Docteh> what version did you try first Sleepwalker_Dima
[07:44] <saegeoff> Sleepwalker_Dima:  why not use 10.04?
[07:44] <Sleepwalker_Dima> It crash on installation XD
[07:44] <sweetpi> ghostpadxa: download the latest kernel source
[07:44] <Docteh> Sleepwalker_Dima: which cd?
[07:45] <Sleepwalker_Dima> All cd XD ubuntu server; Ubuntu; Kubuntu....Debian work
[07:45] <testy> So, isn't there a program in ubuntu to block a website permantly ? forever ... for example to be able to unblock it with a passowrd and you could a random password so you could never be able to unblock this site again?
[07:45] <saegeoff> Sleepwalker_Dima:  redownload the image and reburn the disk.. make sure you are using the right version 32 or 64
[07:45] <ghostpadxa> sweetpi: wat next
[07:45] <Sleepwalker_Dima> But all 10
[07:45] <Docteh> ouch
[07:45] <sweetpi> ghostpadxa: open a terminal and type "echo Fail"
[07:45] <PureSine> Docteh, nothing that I understand there, should I paste it in a  paste bin ? my HDD name not mentioned in the file
[07:45] <Sleepwalker_Dima> Yep I'm not noob
[07:46] <Sleepwalker_Dima> But It is a driver problem
[07:46] <ghostpadxa> sweetpi: yer
[07:46] <saegeoff> Sleepwalker_Dima: I had trouble with an image of 10 once.. redownloaded and it ran fine... version 10 will be much easier for you to get the correct drivers you need
[07:46] <Sleepwalker_Dima> I'm 95% sere
[07:46] <Docteh> PureSine: mount the hard drive for sures then try it
[07:46] <Sleepwalker_Dima> sure*
[07:46] <norman_> how to activate sound xubuntu
[07:46] <PureSine> Docteh, how should I do that ?
[07:46] <Sleepwalker_Dima> But 10 don't work -.-
[07:47] <Sleepwalker_Dima> I try with 2 Cds
[07:47] <Sleepwalker_Dima> Of ubuntu server 10
[07:47] <Docteh> Sleepwalker_Dima: you could debootstrap ubuntu from a debian live cd if you really want ubuntu, also hardware detection leading to panic sounds like a good thing to bug report
[07:47] <ghostpadxa> sweetpi: wats next
[07:47] <ghostpadxa> ssh
[07:47] <Docteh> PureSine: mount /dev/<something> /media/somewhere
[07:47] <sweetpi> ghostpadxa: thats it. congrats your a 1377 h4x0r
[07:48] <Docteh> actually
[07:48] <Sleepwalker_Dima> I shuld to read the terminal on F1
[07:48] <Docteh> PureSine: click around til you can access it and then look at where the file manager is
[07:48] <ghostpadxa> sweetpi: thats not hacking
[07:48] <sweetpi> ghostpadxa: your likely not to get help here for either definition of "hacking"
[07:48] <Docteh> <-- not a gui user
[07:48] <Sleepwalker_Dima> (pvt comand?)
[07:49] <Sleepwalker_Dima> synthax for pvt?
[07:49] <ghostpadxa> sweetpi: thats kwl but you hw to
[07:50] <sweetpi> !hacking | ghostpadxa
[07:50] <saegeoff> ghostpadxa:  go to Carnegie Mellon University
[07:50] <ghostpadxa> ubottu : thats kwl
[07:51] <Docteh> !botsnack
[07:51] <Guest65266> any ideas on how to mount a card reader that fdisk -l can't find .... lsusb finds the reader but card can't be found only in lucid worked fine before upgrade
[07:51] <ghostpadxa> saegeoff: wats u  r  ip addr
[07:51] <sweetpi> !ot | ghostpadxa
[07:52] <PureSine> Docteh, I clicked on the dist and it asked for admin password and I eneted it and now it is accessible from user account, but I don't want each time to enter admin password
[07:52] <Docteh> Guest65266: look at dmesg, might want to remove, reinsert card
[07:52] <antonio_2> hey everyone
[07:52] <Sleepwalker_Dima> Do you know VXA2 tape?
[07:52] <Docteh> PureSine: yea so do that right now so you can get information on what file system it is
[07:53] <saegeoff> ghostpadxa: why do you want my IP address?
[07:53] <Guest65266> Docteh thatnks, tried dmesg,: READ CAPACITY failed
[07:53] <Docteh> proc mounts gives you like "/dev/sdc1 /media/blahblahblah ntfs-3g ....."
[07:53] <Docteh> Guest65266: eeeeeek
[07:54] <Docteh> try blowing on it like a nes cart
[07:54] <Guest65266> also "sense not available" which, um doesn't make sense :-)
[07:54] <jefimenko> i'm in the middle of an ubuntu install at a point where it's asking me which partition to install grub on. no matter what i select, the following page tells me that i haven't chosen any partitions to install grub to and asks me to confirm. is there any way that i can manually install grub from here to ensure that my system reboots properly?
[07:54] <PureSine> Docteh, in proc/mount => /dev/sdb1 /media/Downloads ext4
[07:55] <Guest65266> hostbyte=DID_NO_CONNECT driverbyte=DRIVER_OK
[07:55] <jefimenko> is there a way to go back to a previous step in the installation process or to escape to a shell in the installer environment to manually install grub?
[07:55] <Docteh_> jefimenko: alt+f2?
[07:55] <PureSine> Docteh_ , in proc/mount => /dev/sdb1 /media/Downloads ext4 (Download is my HDD name)
[07:55] <ghostpadxa> saegeoff: just wanna know it
[07:56] <jefimenko> Docteh_: that works, but i'm not familiar with the installer environment. where is the current installation mounted to, etc.
[07:56] <Docteh_> PureSine: odd, so chowning it should stick, unless you're moving it to different computers with different user ids
[07:56] <saegeoff> ghostpadxa:  <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:56] <Docteh_> jefimenko: it probably does /target
[07:56] <Lym> ok so on ubuntu website it has a bit on making a usb image for a thumb drive? would the same process work for an external hd?
[07:56] <Docteh_> chroot /target /bin/bash
[07:57] <Docteh_> Lym: yup
[07:57] <ghostpadxa> saegeoff: thanz
[07:57] <Sleepwalker_Dima> bb Guys thx for help I try debootstrap ^^
[07:58] <PureSine> Another question, How can I enter sudo commands from user terminal and give admin password, currently I can't perform sudo commands even if I give admin password, it says I'm not Sudoer
[07:58] <saegeoff> ghostpadxa:  you're obviously a fool.  that is your ipaddress you moron.  stop trying to hack because you are clearly bad at it.
[07:58] <Docteh_> Sleepwalker_Dima: "dpkg-reconfigure -a" might be useful to run
[07:58] <saegeoff> ghostpadxa:  please leave this chat room, no one here is going to help you learn how to hack
[07:59] <Docteh_> PureSine: usually sudo asks for your passord, su - asks for root password (which is not set by default, also ubuntu peeps hate running as root blah blah blah)
[07:59] <sweetpi> saegeoff: you should have let him waste his time. would have been priceless when he realized it on his own :)
[07:59] <jefimenko> Docteh_: thanks, i think i've got it from here
[07:59] <saegeoff> sweetpi:  hahaha
[07:59] <Docteh_> PureSine: editing /etc/sudoers is on your horizon
[07:59] <Docteh_> or fiddling with groups i guess
[08:00] <Docteh_> jefimenko: coolbeans
[08:00] <magnetron> PureSine: use "visudo" from a real sudo account, add the new sudo account in there
[08:00] <magnetron> PureSine: or just open the "Users and groups" and make the user an Admin account
[08:01] <Docteh_> does using visudo make a backup of /etc/sudoers?
[08:01] <ghostpadxa> saegeoff: wat ever
[08:01] <PureSine> Docteh_, magnetron, sudo asks for my password but then says I'm not sudoer, if I add my user account to admin group or sudo group have I compromised security ?
[08:01] <okookokih> on 10.04, I am trying to install snd-dummy - I believe it should work : modprobe snd-dummy out of the box, however I tried compiling (which worked btw) a newer patch to it, despite compiling and "installing" to the location /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic-pae/kernel/sound/drivers/snd-dummy.ko it won't modprobe. Now I moved it from there, it says cannot find it... how can I revert to the out-of-the-box package for snd-dummy?
[08:02] <Guest65266> docteh blowing on the card didn't help (well I didn't try it but I suspect it doesn't) any other ideas, this card works fine in other machines only on lucid it doesn't
[08:02] <saegeoff> ghostpadxa:  did you figure it out yet? lol
[08:02] <Guest65266> and other usb mounting has probs
[08:02] <ghostpadxa> saegeoff: yeah so
[08:03] <okookokih> 10.04, snd-dummy, get
[08:03] <Docteh_> hopefully not a hardware problem Guest65266
[08:03] <WarrenSH> ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/teams/art.gnome.org/backgrounds/
[08:03] <Docteh_> actually i killed a usb controller with an mp3 player once
[08:03] <Guest65266> docteh worked fine prior to lucid update
[08:03] <Docteh_> hmmm
[08:03] <Guest65266> I can't read the card via card reader or via canon usb cord
[08:04] <Docteh_> updates to kernel?
[08:04] <Guest65266> everything at latest kernel
[08:04] <Docteh_> did you try an older kernel option in grub menu?
[08:05] <Guest65266> hmm, that's a thought
[08:05] <Seveas-train> Guest65266, usb related errors in dmesg (so, device found but not readable) or nothing at all (device not detected)
[08:05] <Seveas-train> ?
[08:06] <Docteh_> did you try an older kernel option in grub menu?
[08:06] <Guest65266> k, thanks Docteh, off to reboot with different kernel
[08:06] <Docteh_> that whas whoops
[08:07] <joeyyyy> any one used a Foxconn R40-D2 Intel Atom D510
[08:07] <Docteh_> been thinking about getting one, any horrible issues?
[08:07] <Guest65266> Seveas-train : Device offlined - not reeady after error recovery ... [sdd] READ CAPACITY failed
[08:08] <Seveas-train> have you tried the device on another computer?
[08:08] <joeyyyy> i been lookinh at them on newegg
[08:08] <Docteh_> heh even a dead hdd can usually respond to that
[08:08] <Guest65266> yes and it works
[08:08] <Seveas-train> ok
[08:08] <Guest65266> it worked on this computer before lucid upgrade
[08:08] <dart> compiz is tearing my desktop...how can i prevent this
[08:08] <Guest65266> lsusb finds card reader but fdisk -l doesn't find the disk
[08:09] <Guest65266> s/disk/card
[08:09] <Seveas-train> kernel it is then. Maybe try a maverick live cd? Also please file a bug.
[08:09] <Guest65266> k, I've seen similar bugs but not sure this is any of them, will try different kernel and file report
[08:09] <Guest65266> thansk
[08:09] <Docteh_> i'd double check and make sure the usb controller didn't suicide, then file a bug
[08:10] <Seveas-train> Guest65266, make sure you put the lsusb info and all error messages in there
[08:10] <dart> there is a lot of visual tearing when i play videos or play games....is compiz responsible for this....how do i fix this?
[08:10] <Guest65266> how check the usb controller? it seems fine with lsusb and my mouse and keyboard are plugged into same usb hub
[08:10] <Docteh_> dart: you're sure compiz is up?
[08:10] <EvRide> hey guys, i have a netbook that does not have a cd drive, and cannot boot from USB
[08:10] <dart> yeah
[08:11] <dart> someone told me to match compiz refresh rate to monitors refresh rate on a blog
[08:11] <Seveas-train> EvRide, that's pretty lame. Haven't seen one yet that can't boot from usb. Which model?
[08:11] <EvRide> right now i have ubuntu installed with wubi, but i want to install ubuntu on its own partition
[08:11] <Docteh_> Guest65266: those guys might be 1.1 devices, got any other usb 2.0 flash things or hard drives?
[08:11] <Guest65266> yeah 2.0 flash works
[08:11] <EvRide> toshiba nb255
[08:11] <EvRide> ya, its pretty lame alright
[08:12] <dart> Docteh_, someone told me to match compiz refresh rate to monitors refresh rate on a blog
[08:12] <EvRide> but anyways, how do i get grub to boot from usb? im having problems with it
[08:12] <jefimenko> Docteh_: it worked :)
[08:12] <slidinghorn> so i actually have a question for once...every time I try to do an update/upgrade/installation on my *old* laptop (i think it's on intrepid) it gives me a "bus error" with no addt'l info.  haven't checked dmesg -- does that point to hardware?
[08:13] <Docteh_> slidinghorn: it could be a stupid gui problem unless you're doing it from the cli
[08:14] <slidinghorn> Docteh_, yeah i'm in terminal -- i try to stay away from gui when i can to "toughen myself up"  lol
[08:14] <Legendary_Bibo> If I downgrade to Ati Catalyst 10.6 or perhaps 10.5 will my artifacting cease?
[08:14] <sweetpi> EvRide: did you check the bios to make sure you cant boot from usb. I havent seen a computer in many years that couldnt
[08:14] <Docteh_> EvRide: i'd suggest checking out boot.kernel.org but i dont think they have lucid installer as one of the options :-/
[08:14] <EvRide> yes sweetpi, i've checked everything
[08:14] <slidinghorn> it's an old useless laptop that I don't use...think I might try to install another distro on it just to check it out
[08:15] <Docteh_> EvRide: do you have another linux box to play on? try installing syslinux onto a usb thing, might work better than grub
[08:15] <sweetpi> EvRide: i take that back.. i had a laptop that i had to disable "usb legacy" to make it boot from usb
[08:15] <EvRide> i've disabled legacy usb as well
[08:16] <EvRide> how will installing syslinux on usb work if i can't boot from usb?
[08:16] <Docteh_> slidinghorn: bus error from cli is odd
[08:16] <slidinghorn> Docteh_, we'll see what happens when I take it to the office tomorrow and try to install debian on it
[08:17] <Docteh_> EvRide: i thought the problem was grub wasn't working, not booting period
[08:17]  * slidinghorn works @ a computer repair shop & gets to abuse the resources :-P
[08:17] <EvRide> i've followed this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromUSB
[08:17] <Docteh_> slackware was compiled i486 up until recently
[08:18] <EvRide> but at the moment im getting a cannot get C/H/S values error
[08:18] <Docteh_> where at? booting or from some command you're supposed to type in?
[08:18] <EvRide> well i sorta followed it, i think that info is kinda old
[08:19] <EvRide> when booting
[08:19] <Docteh_> I've never had success with anything involving a howto and USB myself, except for one that said to type "syslinux /dev/<device>" and then rtfm on the conf file ;)
[08:22] <padza> anyone know how  to use terminal
[08:22] <Docteh_> thats kind of vaugue question
[08:22] <EvRide> ummmm
[08:22] <EvRide> lol
[08:22] <apporc> what is a terminal? padza?
[08:22] <padza> shell
[08:23] <EvRide> well i think i may just take out the hard drive from my netbook and install ubuntu on it using a different computer
[08:23] <Docteh_> !ask > padza
[08:23] <slidinghorn> padza, what are you trying to do?  lots of folks have lots of experience with terminals :)
[08:23] <slidinghorn> and apporc while the question was vague...that wasn't a very helpful response
[08:23] <Docteh_> EvRide: thats cheating, but a valid solution
[08:23] <EvRide> its completely ridiculous though, that i have to go through all this trouble
[08:23] <sweetpi> EvRide: can you boot from network?
[08:23] <apporc> I am sorry. lol
[08:23] <EvRide> lol Docteh_ i dont care
[08:23] <EvRide> ya i can, but that seems like an even more complex problem
[08:24] <EvRide> err solution
[08:24] <EvRide> or do i mean problem?
[08:24] <Docteh_> personally i'd stick the alternate boot cd initrd+kernel onto a usb dude and try extlinux or syslinux, its the same stuff that boots the livecds
[08:24] <padza> to install software in terminal
[08:24] <apporc> yes ,this question is too hard to answer.
[08:24] <apporc> what software .
[08:24] <EvRide> but i cannot boot from usb...
[08:24] <apporc> what 's the format of its package
[08:24] <sweetpi> EvRide: pretty easy actually. but if your gonna take out the drive.. thats easier :)
[08:25] <EvRide> i can only boot from harddrive
[08:25] <picard1421> anyone know how to use phone as a webcam?
[08:25] <EvRide> nothing else
[08:25] <apporc> source or rpm or deb ??
[08:25] <picard1421> i have Windows mobile 6.5 HTC Touch Pro 2??
[08:25] <Docteh_> EvRide: you only know you cant get grub to work, not syslinux or like dos
[08:25] <Docteh_> heyyyy

[08:28] <R3cur51v3> Does installing Linux on a computer generally void that computer's hardware warranty?
[08:28] <slidinghorn> benson_, no bother...what's up?
[08:29] <slidinghorn> R3cur51v3, no idea...It may or may not depending on the manufacturer and the actual terms of the warranty
[08:29] <benson_> i can't seem to set my screen resolution, everytime i restart it , it resets back to a higher resolution
[08:29] <R3cur51v3> In particular, I have a Lenovo ThinkPad that's running into some trouble with its display.
[08:29] <slidinghorn> R3cur51v3, i doubt they'd provide any *support* for a system they didn't preinstall, but hardware should be fair game in my opinion

[08:35] <benson_> sorry man, but it keeps changing back to my higher resolution
[08:36] <benson_> i only want to set it to 1024x768
[08:36] <benson_> any other idea how?
[08:36] <slidinghorn> benson_, what exactly have you tried and what is the resolution that it's giving you instead of 1024x768?
[08:37] <benson_> it resets back to 1280x1024
[08:37] <benson_> i've tried the sudo /etc/init.d/lxdm restart
[08:38] <benson_> i only want to it to be fixed at 1024x768 resolution, any idea as to how?
[08:40] <vici0us> hi all. I use gnome-connection-manager and i want to change the console & terminal font size. How can i do this?

[08:55] <mylisto2> I just got a new laptop today...has win 7 installed...and I want to dual boot it with ubuntu...whats the best way to do this?
[08:55] <slidinghorn> mylisto2, you can do it either by usb or livecd -- see !dualboot
[08:55] <ejv> mylisto2: best to repartition the disks and then just install via a livecd
[08:55] <padza> ubottu , we kwl now
[08:56] <robbiethe1st> mylisto2: I'd go into a livecd, open gparted and repartion it, then install. Worked for me
[08:56] <robbiethe1st> gparted allowed me to shrink my NTFS partition, but I think I had to install a package for it to work...
[08:56] <mylisto2> do what robbie?
[08:56] <okookokih> back to my awesome problems, alsa on ubuntu - install, package
[08:57] <slidinghorn> mylisto2, type /msg ubottu !dualboot
[08:57] <slidinghorn> in your IRC
[08:57] <iceroot> padza: stop it know, if you have a support-question feel free to ask, if you just want to flame, leave the channel (or someone will help you to leave)
[08:57] <mo--_> okookokih: I don't get it, where did you describe the actual problem?
[08:57] <robbiethe1st> mylisto2: Boot off a liveCD, install gparted. Open gparted, and "resize" the NTFS main partition.
[08:57] <mylisto2> robbiethe1st: I had a laptop die on me yesterday (screen cracked) and I want to import all of my stuff from there into a dual boot once I get it going...
[08:57] <okookokih> on 10.04, I am trying to install snd-dummy - I believe it should work : modprobe snd-dummy out of the box, however I tried compiling (which worked btw) a newer patch to it, despite compiling and "installing" to the location /lib/modules/2.6.32-22-generic-pae/kernel/sound/drivers/snd-dummy.ko it won't modprobe. Now I moved it from there, it says cannot find it... how can I revert to the out-of-the-box package for snd-dummy?
[08:57] <okookokih> mo--_ that was from my history
[08:58] <mylisto2> can I do a dual boot of a higher version of ubuntu? or do I have to stay with the one I used (9.04?)
[08:58] <robbiethe1st> mylisto2: lets take this to PM; I'll help you out.
[08:58] <mylisto2> thanks
[08:59] <okookokih> but it probably went off scroll because 11 people wrote 150 lines to get padza kicked for writing 4 lines in german. :-) nevermind. It should be simple but this alsa is infuriating, I was patching it, then it won't load, now where is the original out of the box version?
[08:59] <Theaxiom> how do I move root's home directory? it won't let me because root has to do it :/
[08:59] <robbiethe1st> I'm running into a really weird error: I build a 3-drive raid5 array, format it, put data on it, it works fine. 10 minutes after it rebuilds the third disk, I get IO errors and the array stops working.
[08:59] <robbiethe1st> This has happened twice so far - exactly the same symptoms. Working fine, -until- it finishes rebuilding. Anyone have any ideas?
[08:59] <iceroot> Theaxiom: why would you do that?
[08:59] <soreau> Theaxiom: Why are you trying to move roots home folder?
[08:59] <Theaxiom> ice799, because it is not at /home/root
[08:59] <iceroot> Theaxiom: of course not
[08:59] <mo--_> okookokih: assuming that you overwrote the snd-dummy.ko (that it used to exist in a package) find that package (probably linux-image-2.6.32-22-something) and reinstall it.
[08:59] <soreau> Theaxiom: It's not supposed to be at /home
[08:59] <Theaxiom> soreau, ok thanks
[08:59] <iceroot> Theaxiom: its at /root/ dont change it!!
[09:00] <soreau> Theaxiom: It's supposed to be right where it is. /home is for user accounts
[09:00] <mo--_> okookokih: btw, have you tried using insmod (direclty with the file)?
[09:00] <Theaxiom> alright I got it
[09:00] <okookokih> mo--_ go on (on finding the package, because I've been searching)
[09:00] <okookokih> mo--_, yes, I tried insmod too
[09:00] <okookokih> and depmod after making and installing it
[09:00] <mo--_> okookokih: ah, haven't done that on ubuntu yet ... *looking for the right util*
[09:00] <oaf> why i can not display system's size correctly, i write the .conkyrc like this ${fs_size /home},but it display / 's size.how to solve it?

[09:03] <iceroot> mo--_: stop that!!
[09:03] <mo--_> iceroot: you take him serious?

[09:12] <padza> I can't access the important data on my Iomega Zip/Jaz drives.
[09:12] <YankDownUnder> MechanisM, Choose the one that's 8 bits - as yer first test
[09:12] <psycho_oreos> ke7en_AIS, a faster way would be to just go through hardware drivers
[09:13] <ke7en_AIS> oh!
[09:13] <MechanisM> I need vga=??? <= this number
[09:13] <MechanisM> for 1680x1050
[09:13] <YankDownUnder> MechanisM, You can put in there the 0x0368 => ya don't need a solid base 10 number
[09:13] <slidinghorn> padza, please post the output of the following command to http://paste.ubuntu.com --   cat /etc/*-release
[09:13] <MechanisM> vga=733 its for 1024x768

[09:19] <przemo> i've got a labtec webcam pr0
[09:19] <ke7en_AIS> that's mean vmware can install on ubuntu?
[09:19] <przemo> im polish, sorry for my engrish
[09:19] <tonyyarusso> YankDownUnder: (rumour has it KVM can actually play VMware images - I haven't actually tried it yet)
[09:20] <slidinghorn> ke7en_AIS, yes...but some prefer virtual box
[09:20] <przemo> damn
[09:20] <tonyyarusso> ke7en_AIS: of course
[09:20] <mylisto2> I'm curious as to what version of ubuntu I should download...I have a new lappy that I got today...with win 7..
[09:20] <YankDownUnder> ke7en_AIS, Um...I think you might find that by reading the documentation on the VMWare site that yes, in fact, you can run VMWare on linux, or BSD or OS/2 or OSX...
[09:20] <przemo> i cant say that in english ;(
[09:20] <tonyyarusso> mylisto2: 10.04 would be the recommendation right now
[09:20] <przemo> ill use a translator
[09:20] <slidinghorn> mylisto2, 10.04 would be great for you :)
[09:20] <oCean_> !pl | przemo
[09:20] <ke7en_AIS> yeah....
[09:20] <mylisto2> on the ubuntu site it says that 64 bit is not recommend for daily desktop use..
[09:20] <MechanisM> oCean_: hmm
[09:20] <oCean_> MechanisM: succeeded!
[09:20] <mylisto2> why is that?
[09:20] <padza> for da turkish Ecdadini gštten sikeyim
[09:20] <przemo> wiem
[09:21] <oCean_> mylisto2: you can use 64 very well
[09:21] <przemo> ale tam nikogo nie ma
[09:21] <przemo> znaczy nie wiem
[09:21] <YankDownUnder> mylisto2, 64bit is always, at best, flaky.
[09:21] <MechanisM> but I always need to write nickname?
[09:21] <przemo> nie mam tego paska po prawej
[09:21] <oCean_> mylisto2: it's there because not all users know if they have 32 or 64, so 32 is the savest choice
[09:21] <tonyyarusso> mylisto2: ah, right...  That's mostly because Adobe Flash likes to have issues on 64-bit, and occasionally something else.
[09:21] <slidinghorn> !pl | przemo
[09:21] <oCean_> !english | przemo
[09:21] <przemo> o matko
[09:21] <mylisto2> ah ok..
[09:21] <padza> so hw do use nmap
[09:21] <sweetpi> gah, people still talking to przemo
[09:21] <mylisto2> so sticking with 32 bit is the best choice I would assume?
[09:21] <przemo> normalnie jak jakis bot
[09:22] <livingdaylight> dear people from land of UBuntu
[09:22] <YankDownUnder> mylisto2, yes - in a nutshell.
[09:22] <MechanisM> bye all thnxx for help
[09:22] <tonyyarusso> padza: http://nmap.org/book/man.html
[09:22] <slidinghorn> padza, see the link that tonyyarusso posted and join the nmap channel
[09:22] <aDik21> hello all
[09:22] <livingdaylight> I want to format a spare hardrive on my desktop - do i use fat16, fat32, or ext4 ?
[09:22] <slidinghorn> livingdaylight, ext4
[09:22] <aDik21> can i join?
[09:23] <slidinghorn> !ask | aDik21
[09:23] <YankDownUnder> livingdaylight, For use with only linux, or with other OS's?
[09:23] <livingdaylight> why does this drive always have a lost and found folder in it after formatting it?
[09:23] <przemo> so, can anyone help me?
[09:23] <livingdaylight> YankDownUnder, for my linux desktop
[09:23] <padza> tonnyyarusso: wat about "man nmap"
[09:23] <przemo> i want sound from my webcam in real time
[09:23] <YankDownUnder> livingdaylight, That's part of the tradition linux FS setup
[09:23] <przemo> realtime
[09:23] <tonyyarusso> livingdaylight: Depends - will you *ever* want to access this data from an OS other than Linux?  Or perhaps a slightly older distro like Ubuntu 8.04?
[09:23] <slidinghorn> przemo, you haven't asked a question in english....if you can't find a way to say it in english, check the polish channel
[09:23] <padza> in terminal
[09:23] <oCean_> przemo: only if you can explain your problem in english
[09:23] <YankDownUnder> livingdaylight, I'd use ext4 or ReiserFS, really.
[09:24] <tonyyarusso> livingdaylight: lost+found is a feature of the ext family of filesystems.  It's used to aid in recovery from filesystem errors.
[09:24] <tonyyarusso> padza: if you knew that why would you ask?
[09:24] <livingdaylight> tonyyarusso, right now it is for linux desktop, but i could always remove it and put it in a case for external hd also
[09:24]  * slidinghorn wonders if it's a full moon
[09:24] <ke7en_AIS> what's kernel patch?
[09:24] <YankDownUnder> slidinghorn, It's close enough to warrant that suspicion, mate.
[09:24] <livingdaylight> YankDownUnder | tonyyarusso i see! coz when I open lost and found folder I cannot? I wonder why its taking up space
[09:24] <przemo> im back
[09:24] <tonyyarusso> livingdaylight: ext4 is my choice if everything you use understands it.  fat32 for best compatibility with others.  The only thing you'll ever need fat16 for is digital cameras.
[09:25] <przemo> there arent anyone in polish channel!
[09:25] <przemo> umm, i mean...
[09:25] <tonyyarusso> livingdaylight: Um, it's not taking up space.  Well, 4.0k.  Don't worry about it.
[09:25] <przemo> i cant see anyone
[09:25] <livingdaylight> ok, thx tonyyarusso | YankDownUnder | slidinghorn
[09:25] <przemo> so can anyone help me there!?
[09:25] <slidinghorn> przemo, I'm sorry -- maybe you should try using google translate to tell us what your problem is
[09:25] <Jochus> hi, I currently have the problem in Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 LTS that I cannot paste with my middle mouse button

[09:27] <slidinghorn> przemo, your english is great :)  now....regarding your problem.  the generic ubuntu kernel (as far as I'm aware) is not really made for real-time capabilities.  you may have to upgrade your kernel (which I would only recommend if you *really* know what you're doing)
[09:27] <songer> can i install wifiway in my pc where i already got ubuntu and xp?
[09:28] <songer> with out loos my information?

[09:31] <songer> help, can i intall wifiway in  a pc with ubuntu and xp with out loose my information?
[09:31]  * slidinghorn is beginning to think that padza przemo ke7en_AIS and songer are the same person -- an op trying to screw with us all
[09:31] <przemo> i didn't change my nickname!
[09:31] <przemo> i always use this:
[09:31] <tonyyarusso> przemo: it's in the alsa-utils package, possibly installed by default actually
[09:31] <mo--_> tonyyarusso: I thought that should work too .. however, the speaker and the microphone (webcam) are on different devices (mixers). I don't think that'll work :/
[09:31] <ke7en_AIS> i mean i have ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso then i mount to to drive...... so can i install direct without boot from dics?
[09:32] <azlon> how can i transfer files larger than 2GB in php?
[09:32] <padza> przemo, jak sie masz
[09:32] <tonyyarusso> mo--_: oh, good point.
[09:32] <bazhang> !english | padza
[09:32] <ke7en_AIS> answer please
[09:32] <robertzaccour> pidgin and emescene won't connect to msn
[09:33] <slidinghorn> ke7en_AIS, you can do it via usb...if you want to try that, use the link I had ubottu post earlier...if you want to do an install as if it were a windows program, *read about* wubi
[09:33] <padza> bazhang: go fuck your motha
[09:33] <slidinghorn> !wubi | ke7en_AIS do not try this without reading the documentation first
[09:33] <Stallman> @padza : i cannot speak english here, so ask in ubuntu-pl
[09:33] <slidinghorn> bazhang, thank you
[09:33] <tonyyarusso> ke7en_AIS: Grub is capable of booting an ISO supposedly.
[09:33] <oCean_> azlon: ask in ##php?
[09:33] <azlon> oCean_: i did, no luck
[09:34] <ke7en_AIS> oh i see
[09:34] <oCean_> azlon: that's no reason to ask here offtopic questions
[09:34] <robertzaccour> pidgin and emescene won't connect to msn how come?
[09:34] <Stallman> file:///home/przemo/Pulpit/zrzut_ekranu.png
[09:34] <ke7en_AIS> it's can damage my window after i uninstall it
[09:34] <slidinghorn> robertzaccour, my car won't start....how come?
[09:34] <ke7en_AIS> ???
[09:35] <Stallman> sorry:)
[09:35] <Stallman> i'll send it to imageshack
[09:35] <slidinghorn> !details > robertzaccour slidinghorn apologizes...he could have been more helpful :)
[09:35] <robertzaccour> slidinghorn: when you crank it do you hear it try to start? lets start there if you don't it may be the starter
[09:35] <tonyyarusso> azlon: change the size limit in your .ini file.
[09:35] <padza> im back
[09:35] <robertzaccour> slidinghorn: and isn't you're car a little offtopic? try #cars
[09:35] <azlon> oCean_: ok, let me ask this then, if i can make a sh script file in php, where can i learn how to create a simple script to copy files?
[09:36] <slidinghorn> robertzaccour, touche
[09:36] <robertzaccour> slidinghorn: :)
[09:36] <TheSarge> Hello, I just purchased a Dell Inspirion and am dual booting Win7 and Ubuntu 10.4, I cannot for the life of me get the wireless to enable when in Ubuntu it doesnt matter if I leave the wlan enabled or disabled in windows? Any advice?
[09:37] <oCean_> azlon: not here?
[09:37] <slidinghorn> TheSarge, well, there's a lot of things it could be...can I PM you a few commands to post to http://paste.ubuntu.com ?
[09:37] <tonyyarusso> TheSarge: I don't know for sure, but some systems have a BIOS setting for whether to enable onboard wireless which Linux respects and other systems do not, so you could make sure it's enabled there first.  Next tack is driver/firmware issues.
[09:38] <azlon> oCean_: its linux related... i just need to know how to make a script... like if i just did touch whatever.sh, what would i need to put in the sh file to copy another file? is it just the commands as i would type in terminal or is it a langaunge i need to learn?
[09:38] <TheSarge> slidinghorn: I am in windows I have no way to get online in Ubuntu at all :( I ran the command that the troubleshooting section of the manual said, it gave me a result that the wlan was in a "disabled" state.
[09:38] <robertzaccour> ok. i have my user name and password correct on pidgin for msn. it won't connect. same for emesene i installed it to check on it. still the same. pidgin gives me an error saying "Your MSN buddy list is temporarily unavailable. please try again." thats as specific as it gets from my end
[09:39] <oCean_> azlon: this is not linux channel, but technical ubuntu support. php support in##php, shell scripting support in #bash
[09:39] <TheSarge> Yes I looked in Bios and Wlan and Wwan are enabled.
[09:39] <slidinghorn> TheSarge, does it connect with ethernet?
[09:39] <TheSarge> slidinghorn: I dont know I have no physical access to the router anyways.
[09:39] <slidinghorn> TheSarge, i.e. neighbors' connection?
[09:40] <tonyyarusso> TheSarge: okay, stupid question time:  When you right-click the network-manager applet, are both "enable networking" and "enable wireless" checked?
[09:40] <azlon> oCean_: thank you. #bash is what i was looking for.
[09:40] <TheSarge> It is ours but the router is in my roommates room, and I dont go in their lol.
[09:40] <lyrae> how come when i do file -bi 'file.js' its type is x-c++ ?
[09:40] <lyrae> and not javacriot
[09:40] <lyrae> javascript*
[09:41] <TheSarge> tonyyarusso: thats the weird thing, the first time i booted i checked the wireless box and the icon for the connection manager thing just disapeared and I have never been able to get it back?
[09:41] <slidinghorn> TheSarge, is the wireless card found?  do any networks show up and you're just not able to connect to them?
[09:41] <TheSarge> slidinghorn: No it is disabled.
[09:41]  * YankDownUnder is afraid of roommates rooms - they're dangerous places to tread
[09:42] <slidinghorn> what is the card/chipset?
[09:42] <slidinghorn> TheSarge, ^^
[09:42] <padza> im back motha fuckas
[09:42] <TheSarge> I have a clear 3g/4g usb adapter but I am sure there are no built in drivers for it...
[09:42] <slidinghorn> !language | padza
[09:42] <YankDownUnder> Lovely.
[09:43] <TheSarge> slidinghorn: I answered your question?
[09:43] <slidinghorn> tonyyarusso, you were an op that whole tiem????
[09:43] <tonyyarusso> slidinghorn: yeah, but walked into the channel toward the end
[09:43] <TheSarge> Oh no I didnt, lol let me go check I am not sure I just bought it.
[09:43] <oCean_> lyrae: 'file' determines the type bye a limited set of characteristics. It's off sometimes
[09:43] <lyrae> i see
[09:44] <slidinghorn> tonyyarusso, it's all good :)   I figured someone would come along eventually
[09:45] <slidinghorn> be back in just a sec....
[09:45] <songer> hey how can i stop a sound tha xchat makes when i type
[09:46] <TheSarge> slidinghorn: I am unsure how to locate the board on a laptop??  The model is a i1564-698
[09:46] <padza3> nice try | tonyyarusso
[09:46] <songer> eny help?
[09:47] <TheSarge> Maybe if I can jet get the lil connection manger thing in the notifacation bar?
[09:47] <slidinghorn> songer, what exactly are you trying to stop?
[09:47] <slidinghorn> TheSarge,  I'm trying to find something for you
[09:47] <lyrae> Strange problem. I am uploading a file but i get this error:   /media/shared/sites/www/subdomains/evan/uploads/my files/someone/blue.png)
[09:47] <songer> the sound that makes xchat
[09:47] <tonyyarusso> slidinghorn: right-click, add to panel, Notification Area
[09:47] <lyrae> however, where it says '/someone/', which is  a folders name, it should say "someone's files"
[09:48] <lyrae> so it seems as if move_uploaded_files doesnt like ' in there
[09:48] <slidinghorn> tonyyarusso, who's that go to?
[09:48] <songer> some time ago it happen me but i cannot remember how i stop it
[09:48] <tonyyarusso> oh, bah.  that was supposed to be for TheSarge
[09:49] <TheSarge> tonyyarusso: I tried that it is not listed...
[09:49] <TheSarge> I found this link http://www.famegadget.com/tutorial-how-to-fix-dell-inspiron-1520-1525-1545-1564-wireless-network-problem.htm  but where is the content lmao?
[09:50] <heere> I accidentally chaned permissions on a mounted HD's lost+found to 755
[09:50] <heere> what should it be?
[09:50] <TheSarge> So any other suggestions?
[09:50] <llutz> heere: 700 root:root
[09:50] <heere> llutz thanks
[09:52] <TheSarge> This thread seems to say that I need to just let it update?
[09:53] <TheSarge> tonyyarusso: slidinghorn ? you guys have anything to try?
[09:53] <slidinghorn> TheSarge, well depending on your card/chipset you may need to use ndiswrapper to use your windows wireless driver for your ubuntu install...this page did wonders for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847
[09:53] <slidinghorn> !wifi > TheSarge take a gander here too
[09:53] <TheSarge> That will be pretty hard with not net in ubuntu :(
[09:54] <slidinghorn> TheSarge, maybe you can copy the text to file and put it on a usb stick?
[09:54] <slidinghorn> best I can really offer =\
[09:54] <ackmadah> hey
[09:55] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[09:55] <slidinghorn> !hi
[09:55] <TheSarge> slidinghorn: Ubuntu sees all my windows partitions so I just saved it to a txt file so I am gunna go give it a shot, thx guys
[09:56] <ackmadah> how can i  run windows programs in ubuntu 10.04
[09:56] <smackmanic> ackmadah: wine...?
[09:56] <heere> I just recursively set 755 permissions on a mounted secondary hard drive and I have two concerns
[09:56] <slidinghorn> TheSarge, hope everything works out for you...if you can save some stuff to your windows partition for paste.ubuntu.com
[09:56] <oCean_> ackmadah: please leave
[09:56] <ackmadah> snackmainc; what is wine
[09:56] <slidinghorn> !wine > ackmadah
[09:56] <burned> why isn't bitchx in the default repo?
[09:56] <mylisto2> hey all
[09:56] <thune3> lyrae: do you have the exact command you used? probably a missed escape character...
[09:56] <heere> 1. I did it over ssh, and a process running on the machine is writing to a log
[09:56] <iceroot> burned: its stopped years ago
[09:57] <iceroot> burned: use irssi or weechat
[09:57] <burned> but, but, I miss it :(
[09:57] <heere> for the time that it was 755 would the log be missing info?
[09:58] <heere> and whats the security risk for a large drive with random programs and data being set to all 755
[09:58] <kasi> hi. I'm looking for an panel applet that let's me switch between usb-headset and internal sound.
[09:59] <slidinghorn> !permissions | heere
[10:00] <heere> i guess i should be glad i didn't do it to /
[10:01] <heere> what is .Trash-1000 ?
[10:01] <TiK> hm question, I am trying to record audio with a headset but im getting wicked feedback.. this did not happy in windows. is there any way to disable the internal mic on my asus laptop?
[10:01] <TiK> happy = happen
[10:02] <smackmanic> heere, ive noticed that on external devices..apparently the external device has its own trash
[10:02] <TiK> hm question, I am trying to record audio with a headset but im getting wicked feedback.. this did not happen in windows. is there any way to disable the internal mic on my asus laptop?
[10:02] <TiK> sorry
[10:02] <smackmanic> if you're wanting to clear everything off the external device, just remove that trash folder
[10:02] <thune3> heere: trash directory on that partition for uid 1000. This is created by nautilus when you put something in the trash
[10:02] <smackmanic> i guess thats where ur seeing it tho
[10:02] <lyrae> thune3, looking into it.. one sec
[10:04] <heere> sqlite3 was writing to a database that normally has permissions of 644, after changing the permissions to 755, does the sqlite process get locked out of the file?
[10:05] <kbrdsrfr> hi. i'm having some trouble with cron
[10:06] <kbrdsrfr> my syslog says cron is correctly executed, but i don't see the messages it should display
[10:06] <kbrdsrfr> any ideas why this is happens?
[10:07] <tonyyarusso> kbrdsrfr: define "the messages it should display"
[10:07] <Carsten-> hey guys I did something kinda dumb... I modified a home folders permissions with chmod when logged in as root.. is there anyway to return control of that folder the the relevant user?
[10:07] <robbiethe1st> Carsten-:
[10:07] <Carsten-> So as that user can modify all the permissions in the folder
[10:07] <kbrdsrfr> tonyyarusso,  "Jul 30 11:00:01 darkside CRON[5319]: (ben) CMD (notify-send "Trink was!")"
[10:07] <kbrdsrfr> is in my syslog
[10:07] <tonyyarusso> Carsten-: sure - are you in as root right now?
[10:07] <robbiethe1st> Carsten-: chown
[10:07] <kbrdsrfr> tonyyarusso,  but the notification is not disbplayed
[10:08] <stanley_robertso> Carsten-, what robbiethe1st said is correct.. you can try "chown"
[10:08] <robbiethe1st> try "sudo chown *username* /path/to/folder -R"
[10:08] <tonyyarusso> Carsten-: chown -R fred:fred /home/fred
[10:08] <llutz> kbrdsrfr: you have to set DISPLAY-var and xauthority to make that working
[10:08] <tonyyarusso> kbrdsrfr: displayed where?
[10:09] <kbrdsrfr> tonyyarusso, on my screen
[10:09] <robbiethe1st> Question: Does anyone know what the "events" value means when you do "mdadm -D /dev/md*" on a softraid?
[10:09] <kbrdsrfr> llutz, no, how do i set that?
[10:09] <tonyyarusso> kbrdsrfr: cron jobs don't output to the screen.  If they have output, it goes to your mail.
[10:09] <tonyyarusso> llutz: that's for X...totally unrelated.
[10:09] <llutz> kbrdsrfr: DISPLAY=<host:display>         man xauth
[10:10] <kasi> i have gnome-media, but I don't have the volume control applet. How come?
[10:10] <Carsten-> that did the trick.. thanks guys...
[10:10] <robbiethe1st> kbrdsrfr: You can wrap your command inside a terminal app, and make that display on screen
[10:10] <kbrdsrfr> llutz, thanks
[10:10] <kbrdsrfr> tonyyarusso, thanks too
[10:11] <hateball> kasi: you need the indicator-applet
[10:11] <Carsten-> One more thing, whats the correct chmod command to give files 777 and files 644 in a tree of folders?
[10:11] <kasi> hateball, I don't have that executable
[10:12] <Carsten-> sorry badly stated.. Should have said 777 for folder and 644 for files
[10:12] <geirha> Carsten-: You should never set mode 777 on anything.
[10:12] <JJacs> > Hi I am a frehser with Ubuntu and I managed to install 10.4 in my vaio laptop I am from India and now I am facing serious problem in connecting my reliance netconnect to access internet I need help pl [14:40] <JJacs> I have googled almost every solution given in the net but none of them seems to be working for me [14:41] <JJacs> can any one see my chats?
[10:13] <kasi> hateball, I have /usr/lib/indicator-applet/ but I don't have anything in a bin directory
[10:13] <kbrdsrfr> robbiethe1st, that's a good idea. i'll try that. thx
[10:13] <kbrdsrfr> bye
[10:14] <hateball> kasi: you need to add the applet to one of your panels
[10:14] <hateball> kasi: that's where the volume-applet hooks itself these days
[10:14] <JJacs> can some one help me please
[10:14] <kasi> hateball, the problem is that it doesn't show up in the "add to panel" list
[10:14] <hateball> !in | JJacs
[10:15] <geirha> Carsten-: chmod -R u=rwX,go=rX ./  will recursively set mode 755 on directories and 644 on files.
[10:15] <hateball> kasi: The notify applet doesnt? I run swedish locale, but it shows as something like "notification area" for me
[10:17] <kasi> hateball, oh. who would have thought that the 'volume indicator' is called 'notificator'
[10:17] <kasi> hateball, I have it now
[10:17] <hateball> kasi: it's not just for volume, various other apps hook into the notification area as well
[10:17] <thune3> JJacs: something like this doesn't work? http://ideasareimmortal.blogspot.com/2010/02/getting-reliance-netconnect-usb-modem.html
[10:17] <kasi> hateball: I see now, it also lists email
[10:17] <hateball> kasi: yep :)
[10:19] <kasi> hateball, do you also know an app, that let's me switch between differen audio output channels (e.g., switch from internal sound to the headset and back?)
[10:20] <Peter_Skinner> Does anyone know the smallest computer that will run ubuntu
[10:20] <Dejour> eeepc
[10:20] <hateball> kasi: the normal volume applet should let you do that
[10:20] <abhinav_singh> hey i am using vsplit two view my two files....i donot know how to switch between two files  in vsplit screen...please help me
[10:21] <oCean_> Peter_Skinner: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[10:21] <hateball> kasi: Settings -> output
[10:21] <kasi> hateball, yes, but I need to go into the audio settings
[10:21] <hateball> kasi: ah you mean like a quick switch
[10:21] <kasi> hateball, I was looking for a simple applet that let's one easily switch
[10:21] <kasi> yes
[10:21] <Peter_Skinner> thx
[10:22] <hateball> kasi: well ideally, it should do that automatically when you insert headphones, but sometimes it doesnt detect the switch getting triggered... I think there's some workarounds/fixes for that
[10:22] <hateball> kasi: But to answer the question, no I dont know of a dedicated app to do it
[10:22] <oCean_> abhinav_singh: vsplit? From what ubuntu package is that?
[10:23]  * Tandzarina is away: Afk
[10:23] <abhinav_singh> oCean_ it is the vi editor command
[10:23] <oCean_> !afk > Tandzarina
[10:24] <sweetpi> abhinav_singh: ctrl+w ctrl+w
[10:24] <kasi> hateball, thanks
[10:24] <Amway> !changethemes
[10:27] <oCean_> abhinav_singh: 'ctrl-w j' is move down 'ctrl-w k' is move up
[10:31] <Dravekx> anyone know a dummy walkthrough of "how to install subversion"?
[10:31] <sweetpi> oCean_: thats for horizontal split, vsplit would be h and l
[10:31] <oCean_> sweetpi: right! :)
[10:31] <Dulak> sudo apt-get install subversion
[10:32] <Dravekx> Dulak, yeah, but the setup.. I have no idea. :( I need a dummy walkthrough

[10:45] <Operator_> Would uninstalling bothe parts of dnsmasq stop my internet access?
[10:46] <airtonix> depends
[10:46] <Guest75117> im watching et
[10:46] <CodeNumber_C> I just like a baby now  :)
[10:46] <thune3> Operator_: i assume when you installed dnsmasq you had to change some dns settings to point to dnsmasq server, you would have to change them back.
[10:47] <drygrain> skin so soft
[10:48] <Operator_> thune3, Ive really messed up i think, I have uninstaled it and now i cant get internet on either of my ubuntu box's, so i've booted into windows just to try to resolve the problem, because i cant get at the repos
[10:49] <thune3> Operator_: temporarily you can just edit /etc/resolv.conf to point to nameservers. for googledns "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" and "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>"
[10:49] <drygrain> that's not such a terrible problem
[10:49] <Nubulis_Maximus> Hello
[10:49] <drygrain> get the packages on a usb drive and reinstall them
[10:50] <thune3> Operator_: then, depending on how you set it up, getting networkmanager or dhclient settings (or interface settings) correct will need to be done for more permanent fix.
[10:50] <craystorm> Hi i have a question: Is there a partition manager for linux? i want to create a second partition on my harddisk.

[10:53] <Nubulis_Maximus> I'm having probs with sound on streaming video i.e youtube. It was working yesterday, but not now. Sound works for other media players, but not streaming any help is appreciated.
[10:54] <daedaluz> fdisk and plain parted are options, kparted and whatnot

[11:01] <USGIshimura> Hi everyone :)
[11:02] <stanley_robertso> hi USGIshimura
[11:03] <alcy1_> anyone ?
[11:04] <wildeja> alcy1_, ? just joined, am noob but will try to help if i can :)
[11:04] <alcy1_> wildeja: errm folks, strange issue. Wireless card AR5007G. driver ath5k loaded, dmesg doesn't show anything suspicious. networks are being detected just fine. HOWEVER, when I enter the WPA passphrase, it just won't connect. this ubuntu is running inside windows (through wubi)...10.04
[11:04] <bazhang> alcy1_, dont see a question
[11:05] <wildeja> alcy1_, is it an ad-hoc connection
[11:05] <Raven> hey
[11:06] <alcy1_> bazhang: wildeja: errm, question is how to get it working. its in infrastructure mode
[11:06] <Raven> sup?
[11:06] <oCean_> Raven: what is your question?
[11:07] <wildeja> bazhang, I talked to you recently as metalgeek, that fhs document you sent me to was unbelievably useful, thanks again
[11:07] <gaberlunzie> i take it there's no fix out for ubuntu spontaneously freezing as yet then ..... i think this is a fundamental problem, and embarrassing too for linux
[11:08] <dabukalam> I have a scanner that is identified as /dev/bus/usb/00x/00x where x keeps changing every time I reboot the computer. the problem is, i need that 00x to be executable by a certain group, but because it's a new thing every time, I have to chmod every time i reboot. Is there a way I can make them rwx on creation or something?
[11:08] <USGIshimura> ubuntu spontaneously freezes gaberlunzie?
[11:08] <drygrain> what spontaneous freeze are you talking about gaberlunzie
[11:08] <Dulak> gaberlunzie: freezing?  no freezes here on 6 different machines with wildly different hardware....
[11:09] <bazhang> !details > gaberlunzie
[11:09] <USGIshimura> Well let's try and find his problem first :)
[11:09] <drygrain> as far as being embarrassing for linux as a whole, i seem to remember a certain operating system from redmond, wa which is infamous for freezing spontaneously
[11:09] <wildeja> gaberlunzie, Ubuntu freezes? Never seen it sorry
[11:09] <USGIshimura> Lol drygrain
[11:09]  * drygrain takes a bow
[11:09] <the-erm> If it were just one program I'd say gtk.threads_enter() was being called twice ...
[11:09] <USGIshimura> nah to be fair, Win 7 isn't so bad
[11:10] <gaberlunzie> hi dulak and bazhang, like this: http://ubuntu-ky.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1470452
[11:10] <mnemon> gaberlunzie: have you checked that your hardware is functioning?
[11:10] <oCean_> USGIshimura: might be, but it *is* offtopic here
[11:10] <USGIshimura> yeah I realised that as soon as I typed it oCean_, sorry all
[11:10] <USGIshimura> thanks for pulling me up ocean haha
[11:11] <gaberlunzie> i thought it was a well-known problem when googling it
[11:11] <the-erm> Can someone help me with some information.  I'd like to take a server, and install a 2nd ethernet card then use it for all my dns/dhcp needs for the network.
[11:11] <USGIshimura> but gaberlunzie, have yo utried what they've suggested?
[11:11] <the-erm> What do I need to look up?
[11:11] <blink> guys, gwibber not connecting with me at all!
[11:11] <gaberlunzie> i have 10.04 LTS lucid using nvidia
[11:11] <blink> it only says: "Connecting..."
[11:11] <the-erm> Basically I want to have the ablility to see where all the traffic is going inside my network, and which ip is using what.
[11:11] <the-erm> A router on steriods.
[11:11] <USGIshimura> on page 2, someone has suggested that it could be memory leak from xorg
[11:12] <gaberlunzie> i've gotten relief by falling back to the previous GRUB version but now cant use openGL
[11:12] <USGIshimura> running 64 bit, out of interest?
[11:12] <USGIshimura> what hardware have yo ugot
[11:12] <USGIshimura> you'
[11:12] <Dulak> gaberlunzie: x86_64Z
[11:12] <Dulak> gaberlunzie: 64 bit?
[11:13] <oCean_> USGIshimura: also remember to start lines with that person's nick, and try to keep your responses in one single line
[11:13] <gaberlunzie> dulak, yes 64-bit lucid with nvidia
[11:13] <USGIshimura> oCean_ thanks, I apologise for my noobiness
[11:14] <oCean_> USGIshimura: no need, I'm just pointing out.. That'll make it easier to follow the conversations. Thanks
[11:14] <Dulak> gaberlunzie: it seems most of those complaints are for 64 bit, I run 32 bit so I've never experienced the issue
[11:14] <drygrain> I have an application which requires libglib1.2, but the currently installed version is 2.0.... how do i resolve this
[11:14] <thune3> dabukalam: are you sure there isn't a fixed link created directly under /dev/ for your scanner. Otherwise the general approach would be to find the udev rule in /lib/udev/rules.d/ that matches on your scanner and change the MODE= and GROUP= lines.
[11:14] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: have you tried disabling the hardware nvidia drivers at all?
[11:15] <gaberlunzie> yes, usgishimura, that's a disaster, lol
[11:15] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: it's a disaster? how so?
[11:15] <czajkowski> gerry1: ping
[11:16] <gaberlunzie> no windows/desktop effects without it ... very frustrating and annoying
[11:16] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: Ah, I thought you meant it actually affected your operating system in some way. Does this fix the freeze ups however?
[11:16] <gaberlunzie> oh, no, just the windowing
[11:17] <mo--> the-erm, you'd have to put each machine on a different network, you're aware if that, right?
[11:17] <wildeja> Have made mistake, registered wrong email when running registration to nickserv. Now when i try to re-register with correct email it says already logged in however i obviously can't access the email account i registered it to. How do i change this?
[11:18] <bazhang> wildeja, ask in #freenode
[11:18] <the-erm> mo--: I don't think so.
[11:18] <gaberlunzie> um,not sure, usgishimura; i never got that far cuz it's practically impractical to work with in itself (without windowing effects)
[11:18] <wildeja> bazhang, cheers dude
[11:18] <the-erm>  mo--: internet --> computer-router -> switch -> computers inside lan.

[11:19] <ZolaHacker> yes i know
[11:19] <LjL> bazhang: the sad news is that was english... :(
[11:19] <bazhang> ZolaHacker, please stop that
[11:19] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: if I sound ignorant, it's unintentional - but why is it impractical? I'm not using any desktop effects at all. Anyway, I would work with it for just a while to test
[11:19] <wildeja> derju, yup, two and mine don't work either
[11:19] <derju> fuu -.-
[11:19] <mo--> the-erm, that ll work if you just want to measure traffic between inet and lan
[11:20] <the-erm> Yup that was the goal.
[11:20] <derju> is there no way to get this f*** working?
[11:20] <bazhang> derju, watch the language
[11:20] <derju> ok, sorry
[11:20] <wildeja> derju, there is a patch, google it
[11:20] <asrj1> please help me for install exe file
[11:20] <the-erm> I think if I use iftop on eth1 (lan side) I'd be able to see all the traffic.
[11:20] <derju> i´m on this for 3 hours..
[11:20] <mo--> the-erm, then - what's the problem?
[11:20] <the-erm> Then from there I can do some cool traffic shaping.
[11:20] <wildeja> derju, been on this for 6 days
[11:20] <USGIshimura> derju: so spend another three! sorry :P
[11:21] <the-erm> I just need to know what keywords to research :)
[11:21] <the-erm> I think I found a few good web pages to get started.
[11:21] <gaberlunzie> usgishimura, sorry, i'm practically a newbie .... it's impractical cuz i cant access the titlebar/menus to close open windows i opened, or switch windows, etc
[11:21] <asrj1> Installing a game
[11:21] <asrj1>  any one help me
[11:21] <bazhang> asrj1, check the appdb and join #winehq
[11:21] <bazhang> !appdb | asrj1
[11:22] <blink> anyone here uses Gwibber? private message me please.
[11:22] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: haha no need to apologise, I'm just trying to see if there's any connections between 3D effects and your problem - not trying to belittle you in any way :)
[11:22] <gaberlunzie> ok, thanx, once i can get a solution ... if any
[11:23] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: I'm assuming you're using a dock instead of the panels installed by default (top / bottom of screen)
[11:23] <gaberlunzie> usgishimura, i use panels, no dock
[11:23] <gaberlunzie> my use of desktop is pretty vanilla ...
[11:24] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: interesting, so you can't see any open windows in the bottom panel if you turn off 3D drivers?
[11:24] <dustin> hey does any know of a bittorrant program, .. like peer guardain?
[11:25] <rhodan> Hi, how do I recover multiple Evolution address books when all I have is .evolution?
[11:25] <USGIshimura> dustin: you mean a program to stop people seeing your computer while doing naughty things? ;)
[11:25] <dustin> i would like to use wine , or a luniz version
[11:25] <gaberlunzie> usgishimura: no, i have to close the windows one at a time from their menus to get to others in the background
[11:26] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: interesting....just a quick suggestion - you can press alt-tab to switch between windows :)
[11:26] <gaberlunzie> that's when i dont have 3D effects on
[11:26] <gaberlunzie> no, alt-tab doesnt work either when it's off
[11:27] <dustin> kinda, its more of my friend,there micosoft like he can work there, and any i say he already knows about,
[11:27] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: hmmm, I'm either confused or you've done something different with your installation somewhat. It sounds like the 3D drivers have done something funny to your system though....is it possible for you to do a reinstall?
[11:28] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: you should be able to turn compiz on / off without any hiccups, so somewhere along the line something has gone wrong I think
[11:28] <wildeja> Thanks for all the help everyone, your the best! :)
[11:28] <gaberlunzie> usgishimura: omg! i just realised i was giving wrong info cuz my effects are off right now and i'm functional! i was speak from memory about an earlier problem
[11:29] <gaberlunzie> ok, embarrassing
[11:29] <gaberlunzie> all windowing is ok
[11:29] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie - oh right, so there's no freezing happening at all while you have them off?
[11:29] <gaberlunzie> i had the windowing problem before when fiddling with my graphics driver to see if i could fix the freezing problem
[11:30] <dustin> im reading this ip tracking stuff is scary,,i dont  want some newbie getting my phyical adress,
[11:30] <gaberlunzie> the freezing problem persists even with effects off
[11:31] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: ok, well as far as I can deduce, it seems that 3D drivers aren't the issue
[11:31] <gaberlunzie> the freezing is spontaneous with the current grub version .... so i use the previous version for relief
[11:32] <gaberlunzie> when i boot i hold shift and choose the previous version
[11:32] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: but with old kernel, you can't use 3D effects yes?
[11:33] <gaberlunzie> with old kernel i cant use opengl, if that's what u mean ... i dont know the extent of the problem
[11:33] <gaberlunzie> for example, when i try to run xbmc media center, it cant launch

[11:34] <jrib> Naznaz: what kind of customizations?
[11:34] <Naznaz> jrib, Wallpaper changes, Icon changes, login background
[11:34] <rhodan> jrib: You could use squashfs to make a compact image of your system-.
[11:34] <gaberlunzie> usgishimura, this problem is not limited to lucid; had it since jaunty
[11:35] <Naznaz> I know I could do it manually
[11:35] <USGIshimura> rhodan: what the hell?
[11:35] <jrib> rhodan: wrong nick?
[11:35] <Naznaz> But I'm curious :>
[11:35] <jrib> Naznaz: copy over ~/.*
[11:35] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: ahhhh very interesting. I say this because I was recently using 64-bit ultimate edition and have had similar issues
[11:35] <Naznaz> jrib, okay, thanks.
[11:36] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: it might help to ask someone a bit more knowledgeable -  I apologise but I'm only going from past experiences!
[11:36] <rhodan> jrib: Naznaz, be sure to run something like chown -R Naznaz:Naznaz /home/Naznaz; chmod -R 700 /home/Naznaz; find /home/Naznaz -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
[11:37] <Naznaz> jrib, okay, thank you, I'd have forgotten that :)
[11:37] <hahhahaha> how to automount a NTFS partition upon bootup
[11:37] <jrib> Naznaz: just chowning should be enough really
[11:37] <rhodan> hahhahaha: Put it in fstab
[11:37] <Naznaz> thanks :)
[11:37] <rhodan> jrib: Executable JPEGs! Yeah! ;)
[11:37] <gaberlunzie> that's ok, usgi: just fishing for solutions .... i havent found any on the websites; just the quick fix i mentioned for relief
[11:38] <hahhahaha> rhodan: do i have install fstab
[11:38] <gaberlunzie> thanx for the assistance
[11:38] <jrib> Naznaz: only if they were executable to start with...
[11:38] <CaneToad> Where do I find the ubuntu one client?   I'm running 10.04.
[11:38] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: what little assistance I gave! hopefully your problem will be fixed with a patch - on that link you showed us it seems that a few people are having the same problem
[11:39] <jasonwryan> CaneToad: Aplicationa > Internet
[11:39] <Naznaz> jrib, ?
[11:39] <geirha> hahhahaha: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[11:39] <jrib> Naznaz: erm, that was for rhodan
[11:39] <Naznaz> ah okay
[11:39] <CaneToad> jasonwryan: nothing there...do you know what it is called?
[11:39] <hahhahaha> rhodan: gnome-mount -p Data(partitionName) .. how about this command
[11:40] <mick02> Folks, I'm using Kubuntu and when I try to share a folder that is on my desktop however when I right click and choose Share it is unchecked when I reopen the sharing properties
[11:40] <gaberlunzie> yes, usgi: quite a few it seems .... so let me get this straight, it appears to be a 64-bit problem?
[11:40] <jasonwryan> CaneToad: Ubuntu One in my menu...
[11:40] <gaberlunzie> 64-bit related
[11:40] <jasonwryan> CaneToad: Right click and open Edit Menus to make sure it isn't hidden...
[11:41] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: as far as I can tell, the people who do seem to have it are using 64-bit, but a lot of people are lucky or fix it
[11:41] <bat_> #j ta.cz
[11:41] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: there's so many combinations of hardware out there, some people just get away with it
[11:41] <CaneToad> jasonwryan: not there...what does your menu invoke?
[11:41] <gaberlunzie> ok, cuz like i said, it's embarrassing for a ubuntu user like me, lol ... in terms of migrating from windows
[11:42] <dustin> amen assie
[11:42] <gaberlunzie> i'm waiting for a fix, so i can boast about using ubuntu, heh
[11:42] <mick02> So is there any reason why the share folder will not share out even after I set it up through the GUI?
[11:42] <gaberlunzie> cuz i think it's a fundamental problem
[11:42] <jasonwryan> CaneToad: starts the applet in my status panel
[11:42] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: well, have you tried any KDE distributions? Perhaps Kubuntu might work better with your hardware?
[11:43] <USGIshimura> And it also might be more familiar to you as well, as an introduction
[11:43] <USGIshimura> to linux
[11:43] <gaberlunzie> hmmm, i kinda prefer gnome ... had removed kde
[11:43] <CaneToad> jasonwryan: I can see that /usr/bin/ubuntuone-launch exists...but invoking it does nothing (???)
[11:44] <jorn> close
[11:44] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: well in that case, I definitely recommend linux mint, if you can spare the bandwidth
[11:44] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: however, I'm getting off track
[11:45] <jasonwryan> CaneToad: from the cli?
[11:45] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: I'm sure there is a solution to your problem, I'm just not the best person to be giving Ubuntu advice! haha
[11:45] <CaneToad> jasonwryan: yup.... anyway looks like others are having the same trouble:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498388
[11:45] <gaberlunzie> that's ok, usgi, i have come around a solution online as yet .... i'll just have to continue to be on the lookout
[11:46] <gaberlunzie> *haven't come around one
[11:46] <jasonwryan> CaneToad: <sigh />
[11:48] <USGIshimura> gaberlunzie: yes these things often take time, but thankfully 10.04 is a long term project - a lot of bugs get ironed out in these releases
[11:50] <karlo> anyone know link or name of program in I can make flash movies ?
[11:51] <wrektjet> is there a command that will tell me which USB slots are 1.0 and which are 2.0?

[11:54] <blahblah_> om : there is a folder with history somewhere in your home dir
[11:54] <karlo> I gonna try

[11:55] <dabukalam> I have a scanner that is identified as /dev/bus/usb/00x/00x where x keeps changing every time I reboot the computer. the problem is, i need that 00x to be executable by a certain group, but because it's a new thing every time, I have to chmod every time i reboot. Is there a way I can make them rwx on creation or something?
[11:55] <USGIshimura> om: better yet, if it's saucy information, post it here! only joking :P
[11:55] <om> ah cheers blahblah_,
[11:56] <om> hehe, no changing job so cleaning up any personal data from computer
[11:56] <llutz> dabukalam: change/create the according udev-rule  for that
[11:56] <USGIshimura> om: damn shame :P
[11:56] <dabukalam> llutz: how can i find it, the rules.d folder is so confusing
[11:57] <llutz> dabukalam: see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=11718  as example
[11:58] <USGIshimura> karlo: did you find anything in openoffice draw?
[11:58] <rhodan>  There must be a way to parse Evolution's .db files. What file format do they use?
[11:58] <rhodan> Or which?
[11:58] <karlo> yea but its not what I'm loking for...
[11:59] <USGIshimura> karlo: no problem, I'll keep looking :)
[11:59] <karlo> is there any gimp flash plug-in (so I can make flash in gimp) ?
[11:59] <USGIshimura> yes
[11:59] <USGIshimura> http://registry.gimp.org/node/14983
[11:59] <llutz> rhodan: no info from "file foo.db"?
[11:59] <Freudlund> What's your recommendation for soundcard in Lucid?
[11:59] <Dulak> you probably want to use something like inkscape for flash vector art
[12:00] <rhodan> Berkeley DB (Hash, version 8, native byte-order) ;)
[12:01] <pvh_sa> hi there. ubuntu 10.04, when i do an apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade  libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-graph-dev libboost-serialization-dev are kept back - any idea why? i got no apt preferences for this set
[12:02] <USGIshimura> pvh_sa: they're kept back because they didn't do well in school
[12:02] <pvh_sa> USGIshimura, ah! clearly! apt-cache policy seems to suggest otherwise though
[12:02] <USGIshimura> pvh_sa: on a more serious note, perhaps it has something to do with dependencies?
[12:03] <dustin> why so serious? lol
[12:04] <vlt> Hello. When I plug in a USB broadband UMTS device I can use it to make an internet connection (including entering the PIN for the SIM card). Is this possible using the live CD too?
[12:04] <USGIshimura> vlt: I'm sure it would be,  I don't see why not
[12:04] <USGIshimura> vlt: the only way to know for sure is to try it!
[12:05] <KrisDouglas> vlt, yes, as long as you didnt have to install any drivers :)
[12:05] <dustin> yes all things are possible, th questions are you lucky? too get the right hard ware
[12:06] <dustin> with that my friend, you get everything done better faster
[12:06] <vlt> KrisDouglas: I don't remember having to install drivers. It worked right out of the box with an installed 10.04.  So there's everything needed already on the standard desktop install CD, right?
[12:07] <dustin> vlt, you mean vware? box?
[12:07] <USGIshimura> vlt: yes, that's correct
[12:07] <vlt> dustin: No, a real physical machine ;-)
[12:07] <USGIshimura> vlt: I don't see any reason why it won't work
[12:07] <dustin> hehe smarty** pants
[12:07] <vlt> USGIshimura, KrisDouglas: Ok, thank you.

[12:14] <ahmad_> i do not have
[12:14] <antonio__> vlt: fixed now...had to unmount and plug the stupid thing back in
[12:15] <ahmad_> what should i do ?
[12:15] <frxstrem> vlt: I tried, I only get the following error message: [libtheora @ 0x91df510]theora_encode_init failed [newline] Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
[12:15] <antonio__> ahmad_: whats wrong?

[12:15] <antonio__> you can't use usb on it?
[12:15] <antonio__> what version of ahmad_: are you using?
[12:15] <ahmad_> ubuntu 10.4
[12:16] <vlt> frxstrem: Can you encode the input stream to something else?

[12:16] <frxstrem> vlt: I tried what cast said, that seems to work
[12:16] <ahmad_>  version 3.1.6
[12:17] <antonio__> ahmad: not every virtualbox installation does usb
[12:17] <AdvoWork> hi there, just updated from8.04 to 10.04, during it said: This computer is currently using the AMD 'fglrx' graphics driver. A version of this driver that works with your hardware is not available in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.   which I accepted, and am just wondering if I can get these drivers?
[12:18] <dustin> yes through hard work
[12:18] <ahmad_> ok i need usb so what should i do ?
[12:18] <llutz> dabukalam: use /etc/udev/....
[12:18] <awk> ja, im also troubleshooting display driver issue now, nvidia !! narf!
[12:18] <awk> not as easy as 123...
[12:18] <dustin> yes it is
[12:18] <antonio__> ahmad_: just a second
[12:18] <awk> no its not!
[12:19] <ahmad_> <antonio_: ok thx
[12:19] <awk> trust me, to get around the 640:480 is not easy, I have tried every trick available...
[12:19] <USGIshimura> awk: have you tried card tricks?
[12:19] <dustin> 1 flash drive, is it bootable?
[12:19] <dustin> set up bois?
[12:19] <dago> daonde fala
[12:20] <awk> USGIshimura: I am trying to remove all bloated nvidia drivers and start by fresh and going to modeprobe the driver now and see what lsmod says... then will try nvidia-xconfig, if not luck, will ask questions :D
[12:20] <dustin> load iso to lunix start up creator?
[12:21] <USGIshimura> awk: go for it, I haven't even bothered to install my 3D drivers since they're annoying
[12:21] <MaRk-I> ahmad_: there's 2 versions of virtualbox:  OSE which means Open Source Edition and the usb are not supported, and the non open source, just uninstall the OSE version go to virtualbox.org and install the non OSE for USB support
[12:21] <randy_> ahmad_: check it: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads ubuntu repos contain the OSE version which does NOT contain USB support.  if you want USB suppoort, get the main binary (i.e. not OSE)
[12:22] <randy_> MaRk-I: haha, you beat me to it ;)
[12:22] <antonio__> theres your answer ahmad_: :D
[12:22] <MaRk-I> randy_: oops ;^)
[12:22] <Rudemeister> au
[12:22] <randy_> MaRk-I: what? no! you beat me in the race to the answer! congrats ;)
[12:22] <vlt> Is it possible to create a small (64MB) bootable USB drive (with GRUB) that will run Ubuntu from the live CD image on an NTFS partition?
[12:22] <au> Rudemeister: yes?
[12:23] <awk> USGIshimura: I think, it might actually be a an issue with it picking up the screen.. been years since I played with X... think around the early slackware days... so allot of the Xconfigurator options are long gone :P
[12:23] <USGIshimura> awk: it could be, got another monitor hanging around?
[12:23] <randy_> vlt: the only problem i can see with that is i doubt that ubuntu can fit in a 64mb image
[12:23] <awk> USGIshimura: will check :D
[12:23] <USGIshimura> vlt: I second randy_'s doubt
[12:23] <dustin> dont neded with a virual one
[12:23] <antonio__> ok I want to backup my system..on this lappy...and take it to my new lappy
[12:23] <ahmad_> thx u all (^_^)
[12:24] <antonio__> good luck ahmad_:
[12:24] <vlt> randy_: I only want to put GRUB there, maybe a kernel and an initrd.img that will bootstrap the iso from the ntfs partition
[12:24] <antonio__> there are things that I want to back up (tbird emails/settings/etc)
[12:24] <antonio__> can I just copy over the home folder?
[12:24] <randy_> vlt: furthermore, ubuntu, and all its variants, won't ever run natively on an NTFS partition.
[12:24] <hotfloppy> hello guys.. how do i share specific directory with another user on this same box ?
[12:24] <vlt> randy_: Just the image
[12:25] <au> what permissions should be set for ssh keys?
[12:25] <au> I have this problem http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/2mhD2buE
[12:25] <vlt> randy_, USGIshimura: When I put the kernel on the USB drive and an initrd.img that mounts the iso from the ntfs partition?
[12:25] <AdvoWork> dustin, was that in response to me?
[12:25] <romanoff> Hello, I am using Ubuntu server and I have created a new user there. When I am using 'su <username>' command, console becomes much less functional. There is no autocomplete and only '$' sign is shown. No usename at all. What can be the problem? How can I fix that? Thanks
[12:26] <jrib> au: your private keys should be 600...
[12:26] <antonio__> randy_: will that prevent a dual boot from happening?
[12:26] <randy_> vlt: trust me, even if the usb stick is just for your bootup, it can't be NTFS.  besides the structural ramifications behind why that won't happen, grub can't actually boot from NTFS.  it relays the boot to the NTFS partition where window's bootloader takes over...
[12:26] <au> jrib: thanks.
[12:26] <jrib> au: .pub is generally not a private key however.
[12:27] <vlt> randy_: So I need the kernel on the drive too, right? The kernel should be able to read ntfs and find the actual ISO file to continue ...
[12:28] <vlt>  /j #grml
[12:28] <randy_> vlt: honestly, an endeavour like the one you're referring to is hefty even for me.
[12:28] <vlt> oops
[12:28] <dustin> AdvoWork, about what?
[12:28] <USGIshimura> vlt: yes, stop being adventurous! how dare you! haha
[12:28] <rob_p> au: That seems strange because it's assuming your id_rsa.pub key is your private key!  Your id_rsa.pub is your public key.  Strange.
[12:29] <au> weird
[12:29] <rob_p> au: You're on a Mac, right?
[12:29] <dustin> lol, just being cautious is a pc thing
[12:29] <au> yes
[12:29] <au> thought I'd drop in here as it's a terminal thing eheh
[12:30] <randy_> vlt: just take my advice and stay far far away from NTFS when doing anything linux/unix/gnu.  NTFS is microsoft proprietary and thus the linux implementations of NTFS are ~ok~ but not great and prone to wierd bugginess.
[12:30] <rob_p> au: Ok.  Well I just checked on my mac and the permissions for my private key are indeed 600 but for my id_dsa.pub key (public key), they are 644.
[12:30] <rob_p> au: So I can't imagine why your system thinks your public key is your private key!
[12:31] <rlankfo> hola
[12:31] <randy_> vlt: for some reason, i feel like you're trying to boot ubuntu ~thru~ windows without touching your harddrive.  if thats what you want to do, let me suggest something like wubi
[12:31] <rlankfo> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=616055
[12:31] <randy_> !wubi | vlt
[12:31] <rlankfo> i'm having this issue with a virtual machine, ubunt-server
[12:31] <au> rob_p: hmm I had something set in my /etc/ssh_somethingconfig
[12:32] <awk> hi guys, ok I have tried propriotory drivers and ubuntu drivers can't get my 8500 gt graphics driver giving me anyhting more than 640X480... I'm not sure what other tricks to try ?
[12:32] <antonio__> are dual boots between win 7 and ubuntu a good thing...like are they reliable?
[12:32] <au> lets test it
[12:32] <rlankfo> ubuntu-server, 64-bit, running a distribution supplied kernel (linux-virtual)
[12:32] <USGIshimura> antonio__ very reliable
