[15:15] <detrix> Dr_Willis: sorry, I do like to graphically log in.  I am learning the command line, but I still like GUI
[15:15] <tgp1994> Could anyone answer my question?
[15:15] <BluesKaj> tgp1994, isn't cdrecord the main app that most brurner apps in linux are built on , gui or cli ?
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> detrix:  what sort of setup are you using that you want xdmcp anyway?
[15:15] <juk> !answer | tgp1994:
[15:15] <castlec1> all, I'm having trouble getting the nouveau driver turned off in 10.10.  Does anyone have advice?  I've tried everything I can find and am about to just compile a new kernel without it.
[15:15] <tgp1994> juk: I know.
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> cdrecord - is the old  cli tool i recall. its been replaced by 'wodim' these days.
[15:15] <juk> tgp1994: :)
[15:16] <tgp1994> Dr_Willis: Whoops, I think I meant wodim :\
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> castlec1:  i just blacklist the module. for my nvidia systems
[15:16] <tgp1994> The reason I've been trying to go to a gui is since most packages in ubuntu will depend on the wodim package, which I've found to be buggy.
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> tgp1994:  cant say taht ive noticed any bugs with it.
[15:16] <tgp1994> Dr_Willis: Really? You've been using wodim comfortably for awhile?
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> tgp1994:  i dont even know of any alternatives to it really.. at least not any that would be a drop in replacement.
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> tgp1994:  i burn iso images all the time with very few issues.
[15:17] <castlec1> dr_willis, i've tried. it's not worked.  it's a diskless system. i've tried blacklisting in every way I can find
[15:17] <detrix> Dr_Willis: I have a local network of 4 computers.  sometimes when using my laptop, I would rather use my desktops computing power.  my laptop overheats with intensive computing.
[15:17] <slick124> hi
[15:17] <slick124> all
[15:17] <slick124> i hav some issues
[15:17] <tgp1994> Dr_Willis: Very interesting. I'll give wodim a second chance, thanks for the info :D
[15:17] <slick124> regarding configuring my ip address
[15:17] <slick124> so that i can connect to local hubs thru dc++
[15:17] <Dr_Willis> detrix:  You may want to check into freenx perhaps.  Ive not used xdmcp that way in ages. I set up xming with xdmcp a few years back   for a windows machine
[15:18] <tgp1994> Dr_Willis: You wouldn't happen to be able to recommend any gui burning programs while I'm here, would you?
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> tgp1994:  i use k3b 99% of the time.
[15:18] <skx_> airtonix: thx man... everything worked out
[15:18] <tgp1994> Dr_Willis: Oh, I'm assuming that's for KDE?
[15:18] <slick124> dr willis
[15:18] <slick124> u can try brasero
[15:18] <detrix> Dr_Willis: thanks for the advice
[15:18] <tgp1994> slick124: You mean me?
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> tgp1994:  kde apps run fine under gnome.. and visa versa
[15:18] <skx_> airtonix: one more question though.. can your recommend a good plugin pack for audacity?
[15:18] <tgp1994> Dr_Willis: Ya, but I'd need to download various kde packages depending on it, right?
[15:19] <slick124> oops
[15:19] <slick124> i dont kno
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> tgp1994:  see jhow big a dwnload it is.. i never worry about the sizes :)

[15:24] <xo_ox> classic
[15:24] <juk> slick124: kiss
[15:25] <slick124> wat?
[15:25] <nado121> slick124: read the output, man
[15:25] <juk> slick124: wtm?
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> slick124:  'man command' shows the man pages.. read them to learn  stuff...
[15:25] <slick124> ok
[15:25] <slick124> ders lotta things popping up
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> slick124:  and  i think the problelm has been washed away in 100+ little lines of comments.. what was the actual problem again? in one line...
[15:25] <slick124> eth ppo
[15:26] <nado121> umm, back to my problem... anyone else have that issue?
[15:26] <slick124> yeah
[15:26] <nado121> it's just so annoying
[15:26] <skx_> seriously... "man" is your bff when you're first starting out with linux
[15:26] <slick124> i need to configure a static ip
[15:26] <slick124> to connect via dc++
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> slick124:  what does dc++ even mean?
[15:26] <slick124> its a lan software
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> slick124:  you can set up static ips using the network manager tool i belive.
[15:26] <erUSUL> is a p2p network
[15:26] <slick124> for excchanging stuffs
[15:26] <skx_> it's some some ms crap
[15:26] <slick124> p2p right
[15:26] <slick124> with huge speeds
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> slick124:  on a local lan?
[15:27] <slick124> yup
[15:27] <slick124> my service provider has given a dynamic ip address
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> slick124:  network manager can do static ip's - or i set my router to always assign the same ip to each box.,
[15:27] <slick124> but how to do that
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> slick124:  on a LOCAL lan.. you are in controll of the ip#'s - the isp gives me a dynapic ip for my router/machine.
[15:27] <slick124> its asking dor dns
[15:28] <skx_> what's asking for dns?
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> slick124:  i set my dns server to <IP_ADDRESS> (googles) or the ip of my router.. or set it to what the isp normally gives you dunamically
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> bbl
[15:28] <skx_> biab

[15:41] <newbie> hi all
[15:41] <juk> flats: ubuntu is system, os for short
[15:42] <flats> I meant hardware to install it on
[15:42] <littlecrayfish> hi guys. will my files and everything stay intact after i do an upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10?
[15:42] <flats> I've played with live CD but wanted to do a full install
[15:42] <littlecrayfish> im so eager to upgrade!!
[15:42] <MagicJ> I just bought an HP DeskJet 1000 printer - plugged it into my system - system sees it.  Says its there.  Installed printer, etc.  When I try to print to it - it is as though Ubuntu thinks that the job has gone but it never comes out - any suggestions
[15:43] <flats> little:  from what I've seen certain things are kernel related, If you update the kernel, you may have update a few of your programs to get them working again
[15:43] <juk> littlecrayfish: silly question, always backup
[15:43] <blackshirt1> hi
[15:43] <Baz> i need help for Ubuntu

[16:15] <ActionParsnip> kanthbc: press printscreen
[16:15] <Beefcakes> Would somebody be able to help me install this webcam driver at: http://syntekdriver.sourceforge.net/index.php?mode=news
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> Beefcakes: you'll need to install build-essential
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> Beefcakes: you'll also need to compile the driver each time you get a new kernel
[16:16] <kanthbc> hey thanks but i wouldnt have asked if it worked
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> kanthbc: youo never said what you had tried, I assume nothing
[16:16] <juk> Beefcakes: i try
[16:16] <DataMartin> #gufw
[16:17] <kanthbc> ok fine pressing prt scr button doesnt work
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> kanthbc: What desktop are you using?
[16:17] <kanthbc> i didnt get you
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> kanthbc: gnome, kde, lxde, xfce????
[16:18] <kanthbc> gnome
[16:18] <IdleOne> kanthbc: Applications > Accessories > Take screenshot
[16:18] <kanthbc> i know that
[16:18] <kanthbc> iam asking with keyboard
[16:18] <IdleOne> kancerman: ok , press print screen then open Gimp and ctrl-v to paste the screenshot
[16:18] <IdleOne> kanthbc: ^^
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> kanthbc: i'd have a look under shortcuts / keyboard layout and set the shortcut to something, then set it to the printscreen press. Might start it working
[16:19] <Habstinat> I want to install Ubuntu on my computer. I don't know much about Linux, but I know my way around a terminal and whatnot. My computer, a ThinkPad W700ds, refuses to read from my CD when booting. The md5sum is correct and the same CD boots fine from another computer. When I try to install from a USB, I can get the main screen, but when I select any of the options from there my screen turns black for > 3
[16:19] <Habstinat> hours until I have to turn it off. Is there anything I can do about this? I want to have a true partition, don't want a  Wubi'd install.
[16:19] <david1> hello, how can i set my gnome as default desktop manager? my loggin screen does not boot after installing and uninstalling lubuntu-dektop
[16:19] <AbhiJit> !manua | Habstinat
[16:19] <AbhiJit> !manual | Habstinat
[16:19] <ActionParsnip> kanthbc: make sure you have gnome-screenshot installed
[16:19] <kanthbc> ok fine
[16:20] <kanthbc> idleonr please dont just type if you dont know
[16:20] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: it should be installed default
[16:20] <IdleOne> kanthbc: please ask clear questions if you want a better answer.
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: yeah, should be. Might not though
[16:20] <kanthbc> well i did
[16:20] <IdleOne> no you didn't, two of us have answered you and you still don't like the answer
[16:20] <kanthbc> see i didnt still get the answer
[16:21] <vatzec> Hey, folks, any clue why I can't pick the "Ubuntu" font from GNOME theme preferences?
[16:21] <kanthbc> what i asked was how to get a screenshot using keyboard in ubuntu10.04
[16:21] <kanthbc> am i clear now?
[16:21] <ActionParsnip> kanthbc: set the shortcut to something else in keyboard shortcuts, then set it and pres your print screen key, should be ok then
[16:21] <juk> !font
[16:22] <vatzec> I've changed my theme to the high contrast one just to check, and made it apply font settings, but when I changed back, it didn't ask me to apply new font settings, and I can't manually pick the font.
[16:22] <AbhiJit> there is print screen button on nearly every keyboard i think?
[16:22] <Habstinat> AbhiJit, Hm? I read through the installation options. I changed the boot order in BIOS. Other people with the same model laptop as me were able to install Ubuntu fine. I don't want to download a large manual if I don't know it will help me.
[16:22] <vatzec> I'll try that, juk, thanks, however I have had the Ubuntu font used by GNOME, so it should be installed, right? I'll try though.
[16:23] <PENTIUM3> wow, connecting t here with a commodore 64 and it sux.
[16:23] <AbhiJit> Habstinat, does it give any sort of error/
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> PENTIUM3: i've seen a ZX spectrum twitter client
[16:24] <Do7me> تجربة عربي
[16:24] <vatzec> juk: Yes, that helped! There's the Ubuntu font now. :) I wonder how it's been used by GNOME before, without the package...
[16:25] <juk> vatzec: :D i have no idea
[16:25] <erUSUL> !arabic
[16:25] <Habstinat> AbhJit: Just skips over the CD normally, but if I exclude everything but the CD I get "No valid operating system". For the USB, I just get a black screen.
[16:25] <PENTIUM3> i,ve hard that there is a linux project for the commodore, could anybody tell me what it is and where to find it?
[16:25] <vatzec> juk: Thanks a lot again, I'll bookmark it for future reference. :)
[16:25] <juk> vatzec: welcome!
[16:26] <vatzec> Bye!
[16:26] <AbhiJit> Habstinat, you checked the md5? and did 'same' cd works for another computer?
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> !ot  | PENTIUM3
[16:26] <PENTIUM3> sorry
[16:27] <Habstinat> AchiJit: As I mentioned before, MD5sum is the same. The exact same CD is bootable on the computer I have downstairs. It's x64, don't think that would matter though?
[16:28] <AbhiJit> Habstinat, is yor orocessor 64 bit?
[16:28] <PENTIUM3> anyway, i also need help  getting ubuntu installed on an old powerbook g4, have burned the ppc version of 6.04 but it doesnt even boot o show on boot list
[16:28] <Sheepherd> juk, i think you meant $lsof /dump (since /dump is the mount point of that partition) but this gives me following error: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/294260/
[16:28] <AbhiJit> your processor*
[16:28] <Beefcakes> Argh, rofl Ubuntu
[16:28] <Habstinat> AbhiJit: Yup, running 64 bit Windows 7 right now.
[16:29] <juk> Sheepherd: what?
[16:29] <AbhiJit> Habstinat, no clue
[16:29] <IdleOne> PENTIUM3: on the PPC you need to hold down the C key while booting the cd
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> PENTIUM3: 6.04 isnt supported anymore
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> !6.04
[16:30] <Sheepherd> juk, to find out which process uses that partition so i can kill it and unmount and remount the partition
[16:30] <Habstinat> AbhiJit: Where do you recommend I go next? I want to fix this.
[16:30] <bastidrazor> ActionParsnip: 6.06
[16:30] <AbhiJit> Habstinat, ubuntu forum and askubuntu
[16:31] <PENTIUM3> idleone: i know, i tried it, i even tried holding the option key for the boot list and the cd doesnt show up.
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> !6.06
[16:31] <bigdad1e> hi guys and gals. i need a little help. i am new to linux. i just installed ubuntu server and its too much for me to learn and i tried to install windows server but windows cannot find the hd
[16:31] <bigdad1e> hdds*
[16:31] <AbhiJit> 'will'???
[16:31] <AbhiJit> ohh ok ok
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> bigdad1e: ask in ##windows for windows support
[16:31] <latagore> I have a rather unusual problem on my hands. I can't seem to even boot up my netbook with ubuntu just today. I make it to the splash screen and then a blank screen after
[16:31] <IdleOne> PENTIUM3: try asking in #ubuntu-ppc but like ActionParsnip has pointed out 6.06 has not been supported for a long time
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> bigdad1e: i suggest you install the desktop OS if you are new to Linux
[16:32] <petan> latagore: what isf you press ctrl alt f2
[16:32] <ian__> hi how do i acsess the content on compiz like the windows bursting into flames on close cheers??
[16:32] <petan> latagore: on blank
[16:32] <juk> Sheepherd: reboot
[16:32] <latagore> petan: Nothing
[16:32] <arrrghhh> bigdad1e, +1.  don't start with server unless you know what you're doing :D
[16:32] <bigdad1e> well i installed the gui and all
[16:32] <PENTIUM3> actionparsnip: i know that but it was the last official (not community) project for the powerpc
[16:32] <IdleOne> !ccsm | ian__
[16:32] <petan> latagore: ok reboot and try to access grub menu
[16:32] <arrrghhh> bigdad1e, don't do that.  just install ubuntu-desktop if you want a gui.
[16:32] <no_nickname> #ffm
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> ian__: run ccsm or install compizconfig-settings-manager
[16:32] <Sheepherd> juk, k... later
[16:33] <latagore> petan: At grub right now
[16:33] <ActionParsnip> bigdad1e: then why install server, when you want a desktop OS?
[16:33] <bigdad1e> ok thanks, ill have to  ask in windows how to find my hdds. thanks guys
[16:33] <petan> latagore: there choose modify and remove splash
[16:33] <petan> latagore: then boot
[16:33] <ian__> cheers guys
[16:33] <petan> latagore: and quiet
[16:33] <bastidrazor> bigdad1e: you need to format the drives as ntfs or unallocated. windows can not read ext4 filesystem
[16:33] <petan> latagore: did you change anything before
[16:34] <latagore> petan: Nope
[16:34] <PENTIUM3> peace and cya from the commodore 64 in the corner (yes i am ircing from a commodore 64)
[16:34] <tjado> hi
[16:34] <latagore> petan: Still a blank screen :/
[16:34] <arrrghhh> Habstinat, i read some of what's going on.  cd boots in any other machine but yours.  usb doesn't boot either...?  do you even get to the memtest menu?
[16:34] <latagore> petan: after all the loading stuff
[16:35] <IdleOne> PENTIUM3: might also ask in #ubuntu-offtopic there are a couple of people there who play with some old hardware.
[16:35] <petan> latagore: ok boot live
[16:35] <latagore> Flip
[16:35] <tjado> with bcm5974 driver on the new MBA my keyboard doesnÄt work anymore only the touchpad

[16:35] <tjado> fresh ubuntu installation
[16:36] <tjado> 10.10
[16:36] <petan> latagore: blank screen is just blank or you see anything? is it like power safe or black screen
[16:37] <latagore> petan: It's basically dark but the screen is on (I can change the brightness lol)
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> petan: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[16:37] <Sheepherd> juk, ok i just realized why i couldnt $umount that partition... i was in a folder inside it. but that doesnt change the fact that this mount point isnt accessible through Places. how did that happen?
[16:37] <latagore> petan: I can't find my live cd right now
[16:38] <petan> latagore: ok wait
[16:38] <latagore> petan: I am also going to look into that link
[16:38] <tgp1994> !quit
[16:39] <petan> latagore: ok
[16:39] <petan> latagore: if you will need help just say
[16:39] <andy__> I a m having some issues lately. I installed some recommended updates yesterday and the newest version of ATI cat video drivers. When I rebooted my mouse icon stays as an hourglass and my CPU is constantly loading something. My desktop icons are not showing -  I can not open my file system and see files. Context menus stay open also. Any help?
[16:39] <juk> Sheepherd: <:) things happen
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> andy__: did you get a new kernel?
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> andy__: does ALT+F2 do anything?
[16:40] <latagore> petan: I removed quiet and splash, and it seems to end at "Starting AppArmor profiles     ...  [OK]"
[16:40] <petan> latagore: try nomode
[16:41] <latagore> petan: I did
[16:41] <radi> erm
[16:41] <petan> latagore: ok press ctrl alt f4
[16:41] <andy__> I also opened up system monitor and no process is actually loading anything.
[16:41] <latagore> petan: I boot up with that option by default lol
[16:41] <Sheepherd> juk, can i make it unhappen ^^
[16:41] <latagore> petan: No SSH works
[16:41] <radi> guys, why preferences button is missing at xfce now ?
[16:41] <Sheepherd> juk, ?
[16:41] <petan> latagore: can you login to shell
[16:41] <juk> Sheepherd: well, now not :D
[16:41] <latagore> petan: Nope
[16:42] <Sheepherd> juk, why's that?
[16:42] <petan> latagore: reboot
[16:42] <petan> latagore: choose single and try that
[16:42] <andy__> I do not believe so - it was just a few updates
[16:42] <latagore> petan: What do you mean choose single?
[16:42] <andy__> and no those button combos did not do anything
[16:42] <petan> latagore: what do you see in menu
[16:42] <latagore> Ubuntu and Windows
[16:42] <juk> Sheepherd: i happened already, isn't it?
[16:42] <petan> latagore: no other ubuntu
[16:43] <latagore> petan: No, I removed them from grub
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> andy__: if you log on as another user, is it the same? (Make a new one in recovery mode if needed)
[16:43] <petan> latagore: aha... and when you boot you see something with nomode?
[16:43] <archangelpetro> is it me, or are the boost libraries in the repository highly behind latest?
[16:43] <andy__> I will make one now
[16:44] <Sheepherd> juk, -.- so what can i do about it
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> !latest | archangelpetro
[16:44] <latagore> petan: I added nomodeset last time
[16:44] <archangelpetro> ActionParsnip: 4months is quite out of date..
[16:44] <zth> hey, i have windows 7 installed on a laptop and I want to dualboot ubuntu with that, and i want to install from x86_64 alternate cd. will there be complications to install a dualboot or do i just need to put the cd in and boot+install?
[16:45] <juk> Sheepherd: now, nothing, do some other things
[16:45] <petan> latagore: you must do it again it does not save it
[16:45] <latagore> petan: I know, I meant I did it just the last time before I rebooted it
[16:45] <petan> latagore: when you do it can you type anything to console?
[16:45] <Sheepherd> juk, stop playing around man...
[16:45] <petan> latagore: what exactly you see
[16:45] <juk> Sheepherd: lol
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> archangelpetro: submit a bug stating what security fixes etc the new version has, if they are serious it will fasttrack the package. You can add a PPA if someone has compiled the newer version
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | archangelpetro
[16:46] <juk> Sheepherd: let me try that nice beech to put on login screen
[16:46] <latagore> petan: You know the Linux boot up screen, where it runs all the scripts and modules?
[16:46] <petan> latagore: yes
[16:46] <latagore> petan: I saw that and then blank screen
[16:47] <petan> latagore: even with nomodeset? you said you saw some line
[16:47] <latagore> petan: Yeah, I saw some lines then they disappeared
[16:47] <Sheepherd> juk, what do you mean by that?
[16:48] <juk> Sheepherd: it's here http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13 ActionParsnip parsnip pointed
[16:48] <latagore> petan: And I can't even access any files with Windows because it doesn't know how to handle ext4 partitions >_>

[16:55] <ActionParsnip> latagore: root login isnt advised or supported in Ubuntu
[16:55] <Gulfstream> or do I have to get 10.10 first?
[16:55] <juk> !backtrack | shark90
[16:56] <latagore> ActionParsnip: It's in the recovery menu, and when I'm not even given a login prompt, then there isn't much else I can do
[16:56] <latagore> petan: What about it

[16:56] <lecksdba> Hi I've a question about wireless. Can anybody tell me why i have to ifdown and ifup my wireless connections everytime I restart my machine?

[16:57] <shark90> i using wifi adapter..it real use on backtrack?? i watch and learn abit using code in backtrack but still cant use the backtrack4..
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> latagore: if you get no x server and have /etc/X11/xorg.conf  like petan is hinting at, rename it and reboot
[16:57] <andy__> Computer keeps loading - mouse stays as an hourglass - desktop icons not loading - can not access file system. Those are the key issues to my problem.
[16:57] <latagore> petan: It's in there
[16:58] <Beefcakes> I'm new to Ubuntu.. shortly after launching Celestia... my screen goes black. Control+alt+delete doesn't help at all.

[16:58] <shark90> i using wifi adapter..it really used for backtrack?? i watch and learn abit using code in backtrack but still cant use the backtrack4..
[16:58] <petan> latagore: mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /root/backup/x.conf~
[16:58] <Gulfstream> Beefcakes, you might want to try ALT+F2 and then the command: xkill
[16:59] <Gulfstream> that woudl kill the application
[16:59] <petan> latagore: but mkdir /root/backup before
[16:59] <latagore> petan: and now?
[16:59] <petan> latagore: reboot
[16:59] <petan> latagore: if you moved
[17:00] <andy__> Is there a way to roll back the updates or uninstall the video drivers that ruined the computer?
[17:00] <petan> andy__: yes
[17:00] <latagore> petan: Boot normally?
[17:00] <lecksdba> Hi did anybody notice my wireless question?

[17:00] <petan> latagore: exactly
[17:00] <andy__> I installed the latest ati cat drivers
[17:01] <petan> andy__: from rep
[17:01] <latagore> petan: Thanks a bunch. I dunno if removing xorg.conf or if reconfiguring gdm helped, but one of them worked
[17:01] <andy__> from ati.com - I would imagine that was a dumb move
[17:01] <petan> andy__: ok that is bit problem, you had to remove rep one before
[17:01] <latagore> ActionParsnip: Thanks to you too
[17:02] <juk> latagore: he left
[17:02] <petan> andy__: * should have remove
[17:02] <andy__> Would that of caused all my issues - constant cpu loading/ and loss of file system?
[17:02] <latagore> juk: Oh well. This IRC client is pretty cruddy, so I thought I'd thank him anyways
[17:02] <shark90> any one can help me using backtrack 4?
[17:02] <A_New_Server> #bt4

[17:04] <andy__> Graphics are alright - I get some small issues like context menus will not open on the desktop and sometimes they just stay there
[17:04] <andy__> How would I do that?
[17:05] <lecksdba> In order to use my wireless connection I have to restart my networking every time, any ideas?
[17:05] <pablo_> use toshiba satelite l30-115
[17:05] <andy__> the context menus such as clicking applications/places/systems
[17:05] <pablo_> chisp acl 861
[17:05] <Dravekx> A_New_Server, not sure how to use sudo over SCP. lol. can I change user:group to root:www-data and it be ok?
[17:05] <petan> andy__: just remove everything in it
[17:05] <juk> !sound | pablo
[17:05] <|NX|1> Help! I cannot install Ubuntu!
[17:06] <andy__> Could you tell me how to wipe the tmp?
[17:06] <juk> !help |NX|1
[17:06] <Bunghi> andy__, use sudo rm -rf /tmp/*.*
[17:06] <|NX|1> juk: I cannot install ubuntu!
[17:06] <petan> andy__: open terminal and type rm -rf /tmp/*
[17:06] <A_New_Server> Dravekx, not sure. I've never done anything like that
[17:06] <arrrghhh> andy__, rm /tmp/*
[17:06] <bindi> |NX|1: that's not a question
[17:06] <arrrghhh> ah yea probably best to include the -rf sorry.
[17:06] <Bunghi> My ubuntu 10.10 freezes when i'm using vmware. Any idea?
[17:06] <[thor]> !details | |NX|1
[17:07] <Dravekx> A_New_Server, yeah. Im not sure what the secure way to setup a web server is (permissions group wise)
[17:07] <arrrghhh> andy__, -r for recursive, -f for force.
[17:07] <petan> andy__: no sudo please
[17:07] <juk> |NX|1 what?
[17:07] <|NX|1> I am running Windows 7, I am trying to install Ubuntu Netbook through Wubi. When installing, I get an error "Invalid Argument"
[17:07] <andy__> says rm: cannot remove '/tmp.... ect : Is a directory
[17:07] <petan> andy__: rm -rf /tmp/*

[17:08] <|NX|1> not with Windows :P
[17:08] <Quantum_Ion> |NX|1,
[17:08] <|NX|1> Quantum_Ion:
[17:08] <andy__> Okay I did it
[17:08] <Quantum_Ion> Trying to make a dual boot system use a burned iso
[17:09] <d3vil> hi.
[17:09] <|NX|1> Thats not what I want to do
[17:09] <teknolo> hi guyssssss
[17:09] <andy__> should I reboot or something?
[17:09] <greezmunkey> The last time i booted, i let my computer (it's a laptop) run for about three hours. For some reason it just quit, and now it won't boot no matter what I do. Where should I start to troubleshoot this?
[17:09] <petan> andy__: now relog
[17:09] <andy__> brb
[17:09] <petan> andy__: what happens now
[17:09] <lecksdba> In order to use wireless on my dell laptop I have to ifdown and ifup my wlan connection following a reboot/system start. ANy ideas on how to do this automatically?
[17:09] <laflemme_> ?
[17:09] <Bunghi> Anyone can help me with a vmware issue? Ubuntu gets freezed after 2-3mins of use of a virtual machine in vmware..
[17:09] <Quantum_Ion> greezmunkey, mayne you burned the motherboard out or it over heated
[17:10] <greezmunkey> Quantum_Ion: Oh noooo! Not that...
[17:10] <rigved> greezmunkey: or maybe your hard disk has crashed
[17:10] <Quantum_Ion> greezmunkey, how old is your laptop ?
[17:10] <lecksdba> how do I reply to a message?
[17:11] <A_New_Server> lecksdba, a message where?
[17:11] <greezmunkey> rigved: I thought the hdd may have locked up, so I banged the lappy on the table a few times to break it free. That should have worked, but it didn't.
[17:11] <tgp1994> Does anyone know why nvidia insists on reverting to a resolution of 800x600, right at the end of gdm loading up, even when I have it specifically defined in my xorg.conf file (twice, I might add) to stay on a resolution of 1280x1024?
[17:11] <Quantum_Ion> greezmunkey, wtf
[17:11] <lecksdba> If I want to respond to a question how do I do it?
[17:11] <A_New_Server> lecksdba, a question in what program?
[17:11] <petan> tgp1994: maybe it can't switch to it
[17:11] <andy__> Okay - just re-logged and same issues
[17:11] <A_New_Server> greezmunkey, you are an odd one.
[17:12] <azi`> hm.. when i run ifconfig i find many different network devices (eth0,eth1,...) how can I figure out which is the default one for my network connection?
[17:12] <[thor]> lecksdba: if it is in a channel, you just did
[17:12] <tgp1994> petan: It should be able to, it was before something went weird with the xorg.conf file. Do you want a pastebin of it?
[17:12] <petan> andy__: so your icons does not show
[17:12] <petan> andy__: on desktop?
[17:12] <andy__> Correct
[17:12] <rigved> greezmunkey: you are joking, right? if you have a Seagate or WD hard disk, then there are tools available to check for hard disk failure.
[17:12] <Quantum_Ion> greezmunkey, Sometimes all it takes is one drop on the floor or you bang your laptop to hard and it breaks
[17:12] <juk> lecksdba: why? network manager handles this?
[17:12] <petan> tgp1994: please
[17:12] <tgp1994> petan: Ok, coming right up.
[17:12] <andy__> Computer and Documents were the only things I had on my desktop.
[17:12] <petan> andy__: but what if you try to add some icon to desktop
[17:13] <greezmunkey> man, you guys have no sense of humor. The right answer is that the battery died.
[17:13] <c0nv1ct> rigved, i didn't know s.m.a.r.t. tools were only for WD and Seagate :P
[17:13] <andy__> can not add anything to desktop
[17:13] <Quantum_Ion> if a laptop is that fragile think about what happens when you drop your smart phone
[17:13] <petan> andy__: why
[17:13] <tjado> someone use bcm5974 driver on new MBA?
[17:13] <petan> andy__: some message?
[17:13] <andy__> They do not show up when I try too
[17:13] <tgp1994> petan: http://pastebin.com/pdsQKvJQ
[17:13] <A_New_Server> greezmunkey, generally most people aren't retarded enough to NOT try to plug it in
[17:13] <A_New_Server> greezmunkey, I s'pose we all took that for granted
[17:14] <rigved> greezmunkey: i don;t know about other hard disks, but for these they are available on ubuntu
[17:14] <petan> tgp1994: sync is correct and xinerama
[17:14] <petan> tgp1994: are you sure?
[17:14] <mikeTheNewbe_> Lost my connection: I have a fubared LVM issue: All drives are present and working (according to blkid) but LVM won't find them. Please help?
[17:14] <tgp1994> petan: Umm, I don't know :\ It'
[17:14] <greezmunkey> A_New_Server: assuming is the cause of a lot of wasted time. I have to remind myself of that every day.
[17:14] <Quantum_Ion> cheap laptops and cheap netbooks to run ubuntu linux but just make sure the hard drive is a high quality toshiba/hitachi hard drive
[17:14] <tgp1994> petan: It's from the default config.
[17:14] <andy__> There is also no context menu when I right click on the desktop.
[17:15] <petan> tgp1994: remove metamodes
[17:15] <share> How can I delete password keyring for network?
[17:15] <A_New_Server> greezmunkey, that's why I limit assuming to a minimum ;] You can't live without assuming nearly 99% of that time (assuming you communicate a lot)
[17:15] <d3vil> when i startup my laptop it need to give compiz --replace (or metacity --replace) because windows dont works and no windows border appears
[17:15] <tgp1994> petan: Alright, be right back.
[17:15]  * d3vil when i startup my laptop it need to give compiz --replace (or metacity --replace) because windows dont works and no windows border appears
[17:15] <share> or change it to login one
[17:15] <andy__> I also tried making a new profile and loading into it - however when I do the screen just stays black.
[17:15] <lecksdba> it doesn't seem to. My wireless networking does work but in order to initiate? it I have to ifdown and ifup the connection. I'm trying to find a method of automating this.
[17:15] <petan> tgp1994: make new one and remove all xinerama options
[17:15] <tgp1994> petan: Ok.
[17:15] <Quantum_Ion> share, you wont delete it you will turn the service off check in Ubuntu Start up programs for gnome keyring and uncheck it
[17:15] <juk> andy__: killall nautilus, and try again
[17:15] <petan> tgp1994: also sync
[17:15] <euthymos> hi I'm looking for a (graphical) tool to synchronize two directories of the filesystem with possibility of customization (copy left to right, copy right to left, merge)
[17:15] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: Is this a new install? reinstall? or did something happen? or what?
[17:15] <tgp1994> petan: Remove the sync settings?
[17:15]  * d3vil when i startup my laptop it need to give compiz --replace (or metacity --replace) because windows dont works and no windows border appears
[17:16] <petan> tgp1994: yes
[17:16] <andy__> no process found -
[17:16] <euthymos> is there anything good in the repos
[17:16] <avree> --------------------
[17:16] <Quantum_Ion> euthymos, grsync
[17:16] <fred1> hi
[17:16] <tgp1994> petan: Should I also remove the vertical refresh settings?
[17:16] <avree> oops, sorry
[17:16] <petan> tgp1994: yes
[17:16] <tgp1994> petan: Alright.
[17:16] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: Thanks! I swapped motherboards.
[17:16] <fred1> hi ubuntuers
[17:16] <petan> andy__ no error
[17:16] <euthymos> Quantum_Ion: Thanks! Any others to try out?
[17:16] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: Hmm.  Alright.  How many HDDs are we talking?  Are they all SATA? PATA? half and half?
[17:17] <andy__> no
[17:17] <petan> andy__ when you log in
[17:17] <andy__> Nothing
[17:17] <avree> \/
[17:17] <tgp1994> petan: Be right back.
[17:17] <petan> tgp1994: ok
[17:18] <Jonathan_L> Hi. Where do I report bugs/annoyances in the KDE enviroment from kde-desktop on Ubuntu?
[17:18] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: I've got six drives - 1 IDE volume that hosts my system, and 5 storage volumes. (1 IDE, 4 sata)
[17:18] <IdleOne> !bugs | Jonathan_L
[17:18] <euthymos> Quantum_Ion: I'm trying grsync.  Thanks
[17:18] <fred1> I have an annoying problem
[17:18] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: And they're all on LVM? or just the storage drives?
[17:18] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: LVM finds the IDE's ok, but the satas are all missing
[17:18] <fred1> Ubuntu is soo slow on the broswer
[17:18] <Quantum_Ion> euthymos, good luck
[17:19] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: just the storage drives.
[17:19] <fred1> its like im using a slow proxy when Im not
[17:19] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: Interesting.  Alright.  I assume you've got a working system then?  (you can run commands, packages, etc)
[17:19] <petan> andy__: for guest account?
[17:19] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, Install Google Chrome
[17:19] <petan> andy__: try guest
[17:19] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: Yes, Ubuntu is running, I just can see all my storage
[17:19] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: what will that do exactly
[17:19] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: Good, that makes this easier.  Check to make sure you have the 'lvm2' package installed (sudo apt-get install lvm2), and then we'll take a look and see what we can see.
[17:19] <andy__> petan: when I try to log into any other account the screen stays black
[17:19] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, Google Chrome is a fast Web browser
[17:19] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: thanks, just a sec
[17:20] <petan> andy__: even guest
[17:20] <fred1> But Quantum_Ion why is is it slow on firefox
[17:20] <andy__> Yes
[17:20] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: firefox is a good broswer usually
[17:20] <petan> andy__: just black?
[17:20] <petan> andy__: no cursor
[17:20] <andy__> correct
[17:20] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, Mozilla Firefox is a heavy web browser lot of code and plugins etc
[17:21] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: is it common for it to be slow on ubuntu?
[17:21] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: have ppl experienced this problem or something? Because on windows its fast
[17:21] <petan> before you changed fglrx it worked?
[17:21] <rigved> Google Chrome keeps crashing in Ubuntu. And it does not have a built-in/plug-in Download manager yet. So, Firefox still remains the best for me.
[17:21] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: and its the same connection
[17:21] <aeon-ltd> fred1: no performance should be the same universally, stability though won't be
[17:21] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, Depends on how much RAM memory your system has
[17:21] <petan> andy__: try to remove ati driver and get apt one
[17:21] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: LVM2 is installed and up to date
[17:22] <fred1> quantum 1GB
[17:22] <andy__> petan: easiest way to do that?
[17:22] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, you can tweak Ubuntu Linux system to be faster
[17:22] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: I understand, but its fast in other ways
[17:22] <Rick_Deckard_> Quantum_Ion, how?
[17:22]  * d3vil when i startup my laptop it need to give compiz --replace (or metacity --replace) because windows dont works and no windows border appears
[17:22] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: alright, first thing to do is 'pvscan' to scan all of your physical volumes (this should see and list everything, even the SATA ones)
[17:22] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: just on browsing
[17:22] <petan> andy__: aptitude purge fglrx, then remove all ati stuff you find, in /etc
[17:22] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: I think even downloading is ok
[17:22] <Quantum_Ion> Rick_Deckard_, Google Speed up or Tweak your linux system
[17:23] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: Mmm, that almost certainly requires sudo.
[17:23] <petan> andy__: then aptitude install fglrx
[17:23] <Rick_Deckard_> Quantum_Ion, i mean how can i tweak ubuntu?
[17:23] <avree> trying to install etherpad on ubuntu 10.10. getting an error "Error while executing: Connections could not be acquired from the underlying database" while following the steps here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Etherpad . Any ideas? :(
[17:23] <petan> avree: with apt?
[17:24] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: It throws a large list of "Input/Ouput" errors, and says it can't find various UUID's. the final list shows my IDE drive, but the three PV's that refer to the sata are listed as "Unkown device"
[17:24] <andy__> petan: I am a bit new to ubuntu - aptitude?
[17:24] <petan> andy__: type that to terminal prefix with sudo
[17:24] <red2kic> !terminal | andy__
[17:25] <red2kic> andy__: Open a terminal and type the command above in.
[17:25] <petan> andy__: I suppose you don't know apt but you know terminal?
[17:25] <Quantum_Ion> Rick_Deckard_, http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/
[17:25] <avree> petan: yep, using apt
[17:25] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: Ah.  I believe there's some communication issue with those SATA drives then.  Do they only support one speed of SATA, and the mobo is trying to talk another (faster, usually) one?  (This is usually solved by jumpers, of all things) or something like that?
[17:25] <avree> the error occurs when i use bin/run.sh in etherpad
[17:25] <andy__> petan: alright I purged it
[17:25] <egr> hiho, somebody knows where I can find qt4.6 for karmic ? (ggogle doesn't help)
[17:25] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: That issue is just a wild guess, but if those throw I/O issues, I don't think it's a LVM issue, but a lower level one
[17:25] <Rick_Deckard_> Quantum_Ion, ohh... i thought you speak about the OS speed.
[17:25] <petan> andy__: do you see /etc/ati? if so remove it
[17:26] <petan> andy__: or move
[17:26] <petan> andy__: brb
[17:26] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, You can speed up web browsing on Linux http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/
[17:26] <dougemd> Has anyone tried to install Ubuntu 10.10 from scratch with a Nvidia GEFORCE 8500GS? When I select any install or try method from the CD I get blinking green characters randomly on the screen.
[17:26] <andy__> petan: says no such file or directory so I should be good - when I get cd /ect/ati
[17:26] <dougemd> I did an md5sum check on the image and verified the CD after writing.
[17:26] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: could be, I have no idea. I don't think there are any jumpers on the satas themselves, but I've still got my motherboard documentation kicking around somewhere...
[17:27] <Quantum_Ion> Rick_Deckard_, You can speed up Ubuntu Linux the OS too but you risk Data Corruption
[17:27] <Kentrel> dougemd, i have that card, and I installed 10.8 from scratch with no problems
[17:27] <Kangarooo> Hello. Ive installed game Ultimate stunts http://www.ultimatestunts.nl/documentation/en/compile.htm a long time ago.. how to purge/remove it?
[17:27] <Rick_Deckard_> Quantum_Ion, data corruption doesnt sound good :(
[17:27] <Kentrel> i can also run a 10.10 live disk with no problems
[17:27] <mikeTheNewbe_> Flannel: Thanks for the suggestion, I'm gonna go do some research
[17:27] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: thanks
[17:27] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: I will try this now
[17:27] <Curs0r> I'm using the usb-creator.exe that's included with ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso and it's not working properly. I select my iso image but it will not recognize it.
[17:27] <kittkatt> Hello, I am having a problem with my wifi drivers being in conflict w/my kernel.  I want to try and use a newer RC kernel to see if that magically solves my problems but I really don't understand how kernels/kernel modules/kernel-headers work.  Does anyone out there have an understanding of them or know a good primer tutorial out there (one you've actually read yourself)?
[17:27] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, no problem
[17:28] <dougemd> Kentrel, I just downloaded a fresh iso, checked the md5sum and just verified and burned the disk at the slowest speed. Fingers crossed!
[17:28] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, increase your RAM memory, and install Google Chrome web browser and tweek your Linux settings http://ubuntulinuxhelp.com/speed-up-your-internet-connection-in-ubuntu-linux/
[17:28] <james296> does anyone here know of a similar program to Burg Manager to basically beautify the grub menu?
[17:28] <Flannel> mikeTheNewbe_: http://linuxwave.blogspot.com/2007/11/mounting-lvm-disk-using-ubuntu-livecd.html walks you through the LVM steps (well, pvscan, vgscan, etc) if yu need to manually activate your storage drive (although with the IDE drive working, I think once you figure whatever else out, the rest of the drives will show up automatically)
[17:28] <Kentrel> dougemd, do you have an onboard video card as well as a GeForce, i.e. 2 videos cards. You might have to disable onboard video in the BIOS if thats the case
[17:28] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: 1gb is not enough?
[17:29] <james296> I mean beautify as in make it as good looking as the mac boot loader
[17:29] <avree> petan: seems like it's not finding the mysql db on localhost. could it be because i'm on a vps?
[17:29] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: It might even be 1.5
[17:29] <Rick_Deckard_> another question. i got a NAS with linux operating system. recently the NAS "died" and i cant read the harddisk content. the disk only shows up in the drive management in ubuntu. the 2 disks ran in raid 1. any ideas?
[17:29] <mikeTheNewbe_> :Flannel: Awesome, thanks
[17:29] <dougemd> kentrel, did you use x64 or x32 distro? I'm using x64. There's no motherboard based video.
[17:29] <Curs0r> Is there just a command line utility for win32 I can use for this?
[17:29] <Kentrel> dougemd, x64
[17:30] <terminatorthree> hi, anybody here who can help with openvpn?
[17:30] <rigved> how do i rename workspaces using the CLI? using ubuntu 10.04
[17:30] <Kangarooo> how to purge programm witch ive installed with make and compile?
[17:30] <james296> anyone?
[17:31] <dougemd> Kentrel, just put the fresh disk in and tried selecting the disk check and I got a screen with scattered blinking old school green block charaters.
[17:31] <andy__> petan: got an error msg when I tried to reinstall it
[17:32] <Flannel> Kangarooo: If you're lucky, the program has a 'make remove' or 'make uninstall'.  If not, you have to manually delete all its pieces
[17:32] <Kentrel> dougemd, do you have a USB stick. Try making a USB boot disk, and see how that works
[17:32] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, 2GB is standard nowadays
[17:32] <Kentrel> Thats how I installed. Never installed from a CD
[17:32] <fred1> hmmmm :)
[17:33] <dougemd> Kentrel, thanks.....take a few minutes to dd one on my mac
[17:33] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, 1GB ius bare minimum RAM memory
[17:34] <sk0l-geek> iae galera
[17:34] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: perhaps
[17:34] <sk0l-geek> so do Brasil
[17:34] <sk0l-geek> iae alguem ai é do brasil ?
[17:35] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, If you tweak your Linux settings and you had more than 4GB of RAM and you were running Google Chrome web browser your computer would be superfast
[17:35] <petan> andy__: can you type it
[17:35] <petan> andy__: here
[17:35] <dougemd> Kentrel, I have a bootable USB stick I made on my mac. Same 10.10 x64 distro. I did dd ... is there another command to make it bootable?
[17:36] <VvdBergh> This is a test message
[17:36] <sk0l-geek> iae blz
[17:36] <iMedic> #samsung-fascinate
[17:36] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, Windows 7 requires at least 2GB - 3GB of RAM to run
[17:36] <fred1> quantum thats awsome
[17:36] <Kangarooo> Flannel: before tryong thouse command shoud i do again ./compile ?
[17:36] <petan> andy__: you mean when you install it?
[17:36] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: ouch... doesn't linux run on bare minumums though?
[17:36] <Quantum_Ion> Most 64 bit systems have 4GB as standard RAM
[17:36] <VvdBergh> Quatum are u serious? Have not seen Windows in the last decade
[17:36] <dougemd> Kentrel, basically I followed all the commands on the ubuntu page for making a bootable usb key in macosx
[17:36] <Quantum_Ion> VvdBergh, serious as a heart attack
[17:37] <andy__> petan: says the file is broken?
[17:37] <Rick_Deckard_> Quantum_Ion, well i for example run win7 with 1,5 gb successfull. aero is a no-go though
[17:37] <Quantum_Ion> Every new version of Windows requires more RAM
[17:37] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: yes
[17:37] <petan> andy__: when
[17:37] <Quantum_Ion> next version of windows might require 6GB to start up
[17:37] <Curs0r> Ok, so then I guess since no one is going to answer I'll migrate this from help request to bug report: usb-creator.exe on the 10.10 i386 desktop iso does not seem to work under win7
[17:37] <petan> Quantum_Ion: that is not true
[17:37] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: I am at a real complicated part now :(
[17:37] <fred1> ]with the tweaking
[17:37] <Kentrel> I don't know MacOS but I use a program called UNetbootin to make all my USB drives. It might run on a Mac
[17:37] <andy__> it downloads - starts to install and says the file is broken
[17:37] <Rick_Deckard_> Quantum_Ion, well win7 uses around 400mb when i run it
[17:38] <petan> Quantum_Ion: win 7 runs fine with less then 1 gb
[17:38] <Quantum_Ion> Microsoft and the RAM companies are in bed with each other

[17:38] <dougemd> Kentrel, thanks
[17:38] <andy__> I can not click on details to see it. The computer does not do anything when I click it.
[17:38] <VvdBergh> omg
[17:38] <petan> Quantum_Ion: anyway this is OT
[17:38] <Quantum_Ion> petan, Sure it does lol

[17:40] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, if you run Linux with the bare minimum dont ask or expect superior performance
[17:40] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: ok, but even the live cd was faster
[17:40] <cagla> hi
[17:40] <VvdBergh> Quantum my notebook has 8 Gb RAM, so if nothing starts up then i cry because it usually means hard disk rip.
[17:40] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: there must be something not configured or something
[17:40] <james296> so can ANYONE help me with an alternative grub theme?
[17:40] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: because its painfully slow
[17:41] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: and im on no proxy
[17:41] <trojan_spike> james296, use burg
[17:41] <james296> I tried
[17:41] <Quantum_Ion> VvdBergh, 8GB that means your notebook is blazingly fast my laptop only has 4GB
[17:41] <james296> the site is completely down
[17:41] <petan> andy__: remove that folder
[17:41] <trojan_spike> james296, and what happened?
[17:41] <james296> so I cant run the setup after manually getting the app
[17:41] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, How old is your laptop ?
[17:42] <james296> I had it before
[17:42] <VvdBergh> Quantum search on the web for Toshiba Satelite P500 1C8
[17:42] <james296> wish I could still use it
[17:42] <VvdBergh> then you know what i have
[17:42] <james296> but their site is now for sale
[17:42] <petan> andy__: try sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh
[17:42] <trojan_spike> what site
[17:42] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: its not a laptop
[17:42] <tgp1994> petan: Seems like that didn't work, I restarted the server with sudo service gdm restart. Do you want to see the config now/
[17:43] <petan> tgp1994: ok
[17:43] <NFischer> is there a possibility to install gdm-themes from gnome-look.org on lucid
[17:43] <james296> http://www.sourceslist.eu/burg-2/burg-manager/burg-manager-1-0-0-released/
[17:43] <petan> tgp1994: btw you can switch resolution?
[17:43] <NFischer> ?
[17:43] <Quantum_Ion> VvdBergh, your system is state of the art
[17:43] <trojan_spike> james296, :terminal: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bean123ch/burg    << grub will then be in software centre
[17:44] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, is it a netbook or a desktop ?
[17:44] <tgp1994> petan: Correct, in the nvidia control panel, although it never stays, even when I have it save to the config file.
[17:44] <NFischer> python-gdm2setup does not work for me :/
[17:44] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: desktop
[17:44] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: 2.3 HT
[17:44] <petan> tgp1994: hm maybe you have incorrect in gnome
[17:44] <fred1> sorry Quantum_Ion 3.2 HT
[17:44] <james296> can you whisper that to me since I cant copy and paste while the chat keeps going on?
[17:44] <tgp1994> petan: Sorry, what?
[17:44] <petan> tgp1994: check resolution settings in gnome
[17:44] <trojan_spike> burg i mean james296
[17:44] <tgp1994> petan: Ok.
[17:44] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: its a very fast pc
[17:44] <tgp1994> petan: And here is the new config file: http://xorg.pastebin.com/j8jP15pJ
[17:45] <trojan_spike> whisper?
[17:45] <entropy4> does anyone know of a web-based torrent client that would run on a server? im running ubuntu-server with apache and mysql installed
[17:45] <Nasha> entropy4; transmission?
[17:45] <james296> it says it failed to fetch the data
[17:45] <trojan_spike> entropy4, utorrent is now web based.. from what i hear
[17:45] <tgp1994> petan: When trying to open the Monitors menu, it says I should use the software for my graphics card instead.
[17:46] <james296> trojan, the main server for it is down
[17:46] <Nasha> I used transmission before i moved to USEnet
[17:46] <entropy4> i will check out transmission
[17:46] <Quantum_Ion> VvdBergh, Those Toshiba/Hitachi hard drives are the best they last a long time
[17:46] <petan> andy__: if you run script?
[17:46] <Nasha> simple and lightweight
[17:46] <petan> andy__: that is output?
[17:46] <trojan_spike> james296, im checking
[17:47] <andy__> petan: when I type in what you said that it the output
[17:47] <Nasha> any lirc gurus in the house today?
[17:47] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, When you have a 64 bit computer along with 64 bit Ubuntu Linux it is really fast
[17:48] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: I see
[17:48] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: I believe that
[17:48] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, most likely you are using a 32 bit computer
[17:48] <petan> andy__: try FORCE_ATI_UNINSTALL=true and again
[17:48] <Curs0r> So glad to have my issue ignored today. Thanks for that
[17:48] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: yes
[17:48] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: but it should not run this slow
[17:48] <chicco> ciao
[17:48] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, it all depends on your hardware
[17:48] <andy__> petan: did what you said and still the same error
[17:48] <petan> andy__: that is error you get when sudo aptitude purge fglrx
[17:49] <andy__> correct
[17:49] <chicco> c'è qualcuno che mi aiuta ho la webcam al contrario .-.
[17:49] <petan> andy__: and if you do aptitude install fglrx what you see?
[17:49] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, how much RAM you have a 32 bit computer web browser and tweaked settings etc
[17:49] <fred1> ok Quantum_Ion it says I have to replace some number thing
[17:50] <james296> trojan, you see?
[17:50] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: in the tweaking proccess
[17:50] <ShredMaster> In windows XP I could record my speakers sounds directly (not using a mic). Since I use UBUNTU now, I want to know if there is a possible way to record speakers sound directly.
[17:51] <trojan_spike> ShredMaster, Desktop recorder
[17:51] <leprechau> ShredMaster, you do it the same way
[17:51] <leprechau> got sound preferences
[17:51] <leprechau> and select the record device in the mixer

[17:55] <Daekdroom> The installer hangs up after the 1st screen and I think it's a bad CD.
[17:55] <mlmg317-himts> Hello - can anyone tell me why - whenever I run clamscan or even avgscan - why terminal at some point just STALLS - and the whole process just freezes indefinitely?
[17:55] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, if your a Liux newbie dont tweak your system because you might screw it all up
[17:55] <greezmunkey> Daekdroom: when you boot the cd, there is an option to check the cd
[17:55] <turtle143> l
[17:55] <Quantum_Ion> *Linux newbie
[17:55] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: yes I am
[17:55] <Daekdroom> greezmunkey: I think my 10.10 liveCD went straight to the Xserver.
[17:55] <fred1> but Quantum_Ion I am willing to take that risk
[17:56] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, lol
[17:56] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: I dont really have anything imporant
[17:56] <fred1> quan :D
[17:56] <VvdBergh> @ Quatum if he does not try now on a fresh install he will have to do more when he fully configured his system
[17:56] <Quantum_Ion> fred1, Are you familiar with Copy and Waste then you dont have to type all that out by hand
[17:56] <greezmunkey> Daekdroom: yikes, I don't know about 10.10, sorry, in 10.04 there is a menu option to check the cd. Sorry.

[17:57] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: haha
[17:57] <VvdBergh> the last windows i used was windows 95 for playing red alert with some friends
[17:57] <Quantum_Ion> I will boot int Linux and try to tweak my own settings
[17:57] <mlmg317-himts> Did any see my question?  Can anyone help?
[17:57] <fred1> ok Quantum_Ion
[17:57] <Quantum_Ion> I am on Vista it came with the 64 bit PC
[17:58] <fred1> Quantum_Ion: I will see you in a bit
[17:58] <tgp1994> Quantum_Ion: Lol, I'm installing vista right now :P
[17:58] <VvdBergh> Poor you.
[17:58] <tgp1994> VvdBergh: It's for the lolz. :P
[17:58] <^Mike> In Mouse Preferences, two-finger scrolling is greyed out. What do I need to do to enable that option? The hardware does support multitouch.

[17:58] <mlmg317-himts> Hello - can anyone tell me why - whenever I run clamscan or even avgscan - why terminal at some point just STALLS - and the whole process just freezes indefinitely?
[17:58] <Quantum_Ion> VvdBergh, I have an USB external hard drive that I installed Ubuntu Linux on
[17:58] <dragonkeeper> is there a command to update the system from 10.04  to 10.10   so i dont have to reinstall ?
[17:58] <remoteCTRL2> whuts wif da pidgin and icq?
[17:59] <erUSUL> !upgrade | dragonkeeper
[17:59] <remoteCTRL2> dragonkeeper: sudo do-release-update
[17:59] <Quantum_Ion> So when I want to boot into Ubuntu Linux I just tweaked the settings in my BIOS to boot from my USB ports and plug in the External USB hard drive and it runs Linux
[17:59] <dragonkeeper> ok ty
[18:00] <remoteCTRL2> dragonkeeper: you might want to change your sources settings from long term release versions only to normal releases...
[18:00] <VvdBergh> I was able to get my Toshiba Satellite P500 1C8 without Windows when I said to the shop owner I would t row it of directly at home
[18:00] <remoteCTRL2> anybody elses icq not working anymore with pidgin?
[18:01] <VvdBergh> ICQ on Pidgin fails
[18:01] <remoteCTRL2> ever since friday or so, can that be?
[18:01] <VvdBergh> serveral threads on the Ubuntu forum already
[18:01] <remoteCTRL2> gosh, k
[18:01] <mlmg317-himts> OK - can anyone refer me to another channel to get my question answered?
[18:01] <remoteCTRL2> thanks dude
[18:01] <ubuntu> bob
[18:02] <remoteCTRL2> mlmg317-himts: and the question was?
[18:02] <tgp1994> petan: Any ideas, then?
[18:02] <mlmg317-himts> remoteCTRL@: Hello - can anyone tell me why - whenever I run clamscan or even avgscan - why terminal at some point just STALLS - and the whole process just freezes indefinitely?
[18:02] <fred11> hi quan
[18:02] <Nasha> who needs AV on UNIX?
[18:02] <remoteCTRL2> mlmg317-himts: not me, sry...
[18:02] <tgp1994> Nasha: For scanning NTFS partitions.
[18:02] <remoteCTRL2> agree *g*
[18:03] <Nasha> But why scan an NTFS partition? Leave that to Windows
[18:03] <mlmg317-himts> remoteCTRL2: OK - then do you know of another support channel I could try for this question?
[18:03] <remoteCTRL2> mlmg317-himts: as i am not aware of any clamav or avg channels not so much, sry...
[18:04] <tgp1994> Nasha: Windows can get hit hard by viruses, usually up to the point where it can't boot.
[18:04] <dougemd> Anyone know why a usb boot stick I created in mac OSX with dd won't boot on my PC?
[18:04] <Nasha> Well yes, im aware of windows inability to function as a stable OS lol
[18:04] <remoteCTRL2> windows always boots in save mode and if not anymore a virusscan wont help you anymore... but thats a topic for another channel?
[18:05] <dragonkeeper> dougemd   make sure usb is 1st boot in the bios
[18:05] <mlmg317-himts> remoteCTRL2:  K - but there are other general support channels that exist.  It makes sense that there would not be a specific support channel for this software - as many Linux users think they still don't need to worry about even checking for viruses. Which one is the best to try?
[18:05] <Nasha> dougemd: OSX formats differntly to windows
[18:05] <tgp1994> Nasha: There ya go then :)
[18:05] <Nasha> Even for USB
[18:05] <mlmg317-himts> remoteCTRL2: I mean, which general support channel would be the best to try?
[18:05] <dougemd> drangonkeeper, double checking.....
[18:05] <fred11> quan are you there??
[18:06] <remoteCTRL2> mlmg317-himts: well if you want to try something generic that is somewhat related id give #debian a shot
[18:06] <dougemd> Nasha, if I'm using dd then the format shouldn't matter correct?
[18:06] <Nasha> It will because it cant read the partition table
[18:06] <greezmunkey> mlmg317-himts: check with the web page for the provider of the code, they will usually have a forum, or at least an email chain you can get into.
[18:06] <skraps> jcs2010
[18:07] <Nasha> dougemd: install hfsutils
[18:07] <mlmg317-himts> remoteCTRL2: thank you !!!
[18:07] <Nasha> U should then be able to mount it, provided its not a journaled FS
[18:07] <dougemd> Nasha, ohh I thought did would litterally copy bit for bit....... thanks!
[18:07] <mlmg317-himts> greezmunkey:  OK - are you talking about the Ubuntu web page?
[18:07] <Nasha> Nope, dd isnt that low level. Its filesystem based
[18:07] <Nasha> mlmg: Try AVG support
[18:07] <remoteCTRL2> any of you got any instant messaging client up and running that currently works with icq?
[18:08] <remoteCTRL2> mlmg317-himts: np
[18:08] <Nasha> mlmg: But i would say that if your having th same problem with mutiple pieces of software, then theres an issue with your installation
[18:08] <greezmunkey> mlmg317-himts: no clam, or whatever the other one you are having trouble with is.
[18:08] <vic20gmr> im trying to make a bootable usb install drive, but the usb utility isnt working
[18:08] <LinuxGuy2009> Is there any documentation or a simple way to tell which version of Ubuntu matches up with the current testing and sid branches of debian?
[18:09] <vic20gmr> will someone help me with this?
[18:09] <LinuxGuy2009> Or should I say stable and testing rather.
[18:09] <mlmg317-himts> greezmunkey: OH - OK, gotcha ... good call :)  Thanks!
[18:09] <sprung> hi, i read a support forum entry and it told me to delete my ubuntuone config and now i can't get ubuntuone to work like it did the first time i ran it
[18:09] <greezmunkey> mlmg317-himts: good luck, they will know how their code interacts with the os.
[18:10] <sprung> here is my ubuntuone error http://pastebin.us/1344
[18:10] <fred11> does anyone know if Ubuntu Tweak helps?
[18:10] <sprung> i have also tried reinstalling ubuntuone
[18:10] <sprung> fred11, ubuntu tweak isn't officially supported, i'll tell you that much, i use it myself but just warning ya
[18:10] <tgp1994> What's going on?
[18:10] <Nasha> sprung: If you deleted your config file, then youve lost all settings you had, and wont be able to get them back
[18:11] <sprung> Nasha, why can't i just get ubuntuone to run like it did the first time, asking me credentials?
[18:12] <vic20gmr> startup disk creator gives me an error message when i try to "erase disk", it says it isnt big enough, its 2gb flash
[18:12] <vic20gmr> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/294280/
[18:12] <fred11> ok sprung
[18:12] <fred11> its just that my web browsing is extremely slow sprung
[18:12] <vic20gmr> paste ink shows error message i get when i tell it to erase disk
[18:12] <dougemd> Nasha, since you seem to know what you're talking about. Why would Ubuntu 10.4 liveCD properly boot and my 10.10 liveCD balk and show blinking green characters. Both iso passed m5sum and the cds were verified.
[18:12] <fred11> Quantum_Ion:
[18:12] <sprung> fred11, take your time :) i've been googling for the answer as well
[18:13] <fred11> you there?
[18:13] <greezmunkey> fred11: is this a new system, using FF
[18:13] <fred11> sprung: its slow for you too?
[18:13] <paglia> !list
[18:13] <Nasha> dougemd: Sounds gfx related... Dont know why 10.04 works though
[18:13] <dougemd> Nasha, I'm guessing the newer distro and kernel in 10.10 are imporperly recognizing my video card?
[18:13] <Nasha> Quite possibly, what is it?
[18:14] <dougemd> Nvidia GEFORCE 5600GS
[18:14] <sprung> fred11, that was my original issue, that ubuntuone was slow. i read that deleting my config for the purpose of reentering it would fix the problem. that was a mistake. now i get this error and it will not sync http://pastebin.us/1344
[18:14] <fred11> spring.. :(
[18:14] <Nasha> Hmmm, pretty old card nowdays...
[18:14] <fred11> sprung: I am a total newb
[18:14] <Nasha> There is an option for safe gfx mode install?
[18:14] <greezmunkey> fred11: in FF disable ipv6 for a start, it will speed things up indeed.
[18:14] <fred11> sprung: I would help you if I knew
[18:14] <sprung> fred11, that's fine, somebody else will help me.
[18:15] <dougemd> Nasha, never seemed to have a problem with this machine and Ubuntu 10.10 .... i just got two 1 TB drives in a raid config and wanted to start fresh... this new 10.10 iso I downloaded doesn't properly handle the graphics.
[18:15] <Nasha> Ok, so youve had 10.10 installed on it before
[18:15] <fred11> greezmunkey: where is IPV6?
[18:15] <sprung> hi, i read a support forum entry and it told me to delete my ubuntuone config and now i can't get ubuntuone to work like it did the first time i ran it. This is the error I get when I run ubuntuone-preferences http://pastebin.us/1344 i have also tried reinstalling the ubuntuone packages, it didn't help
[18:15] <tgp1994> petan: Anything?
[18:16] <fred11> greezmunkey: preferences??
[18:16] <Ginbun2> how many gb of ram does Ubuntu detect when 4Gb is installed with Ubuntu 32bit?
[18:16] <iceroot> Ginbun2: less then 4gb, ~3.3gb
[18:16] <andai> my sound isn't working
[18:16] <andai> nor my HDMI output
[18:16] <sprung> my ubuntuone client is broken and i can't get it to run its user config wizard like it does when you first run it
[18:16] <andai> but both were about 5 minutes ago
[18:16] <dougemd> Nasha, yes with an older .iso from a few weeks back. (x64 by the way)....now I downloaded a new one and it doesn't give me any graphics and the livecd crashes with blinking green characters when I make a selection form the ascii based menu. So, did a double check with md5sum and veirfied the disk after I burned it.
[18:16] <aeon-ltd> !sound | andai
[18:17] <cousteau> I wanted to install LibreOffice, so I uncompressed the tar.gz with the debs on a folder. Then I ran dpkg-scanpackages to create the Packages.gz, and I finally moved the folder with the debs and Packages.gz to /opt. Now, how do I add it to my sources.lsit?
[18:17] <andai> is there a way to stop then start alsa
[18:18] <greezmunkey> fred11: in FF type in about:config - you will recieve a warning, please read it. Once you are in do a search for ipv6, it will take you to the correct line. Specific instructions for this proceedure can be found by googling "disable ipv6 in firefox"

[18:24] <fred11> Quantum_Ion: thats what I mean about this thing :(
[18:24] <Quantum_Ion> fred11, What country do you live in ?
[18:24] <fred11> Quantum_Ion: yes

[18:24] <ardian> Hi, What's the best way to install LAMP in Ubuntu ?
[18:25] <fred11> Quantum_Ion: CAnada
[18:25] <Quantum_Ion> fred11, you use a text editor to edit linux configuration files do you know how to do that ?
[18:25] <Quantum_Ion> fred11, a text editor is gedit or nano
[18:26] <fred11> Quantum_Ion: right now im in the sysctrl.config
[18:26] <vic20gmr> anyone have any idea why my 2gb lash is said by startup disk creator to not have enough space to hold theiso for ubuntu?
[18:26] <fred11> Quantum_Ion: yes in the text editor is where it is
[18:27] <Quantum_Ion> fred11, did you copy and paste the text in the document
[18:28] <Quantum_Ion> fred11, if so you most likely are using gedit a text editor
[18:28] <fred11> those lines of code?
[18:28] <Quantum_Ion> fred11, yes
[18:28] <Daekdroom> Is it normal for ubiquity to freeze for a few minutes while it's -still- not installing?
[18:28] <fred11> yes Quantum_Ion I am
[18:28] <fred11> Quantum_Ion: does it HAVE to ve at the end?
[18:29] <Quantum_Ion> fred11, the first part would be to edit ---> sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/bad_list
[18:29] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: How much free space does it have?
[18:29] <vic20gmr> will someone please confirm my tet is visible?
[18:29] <Quantum_Ion> and add ->alias net-pf-10 off
[18:29] <maxyjj> Missing the close "x" and minimize "_" buttons AND resize
[18:30] <Quantum_Ion> then you would edit this file --->>> sudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf
[18:30] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, its completely free, ive told gparted, and disk utility both to erase the whole thing
[18:30] <vic20gmr> i get an error when i tell the startup dosk utility [sdu from now on:)]

[18:35] <Jazzinghen> Hi
[18:35] <hitz_> How ubuntu manage init scripts? There is not a ssh symlink in /etc/rc3.d/ but ssh starts. Also I get a warning from "plymounth", but also it isn't in /etc/rc3.d and rc5.d. How can be this??
[18:36] <Jazzinghen> I'm having troubles with my ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650
[18:36] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, i just noticed, at top of sdu windows, it says "To try or install Ubuntu from a removabl disk, it needs to be set up as a startup disk", is this refering to my bios settings, or something else?
[18:36] <Benkinooby> hi, i read some benchmark reports on phoronix and it seems, like 10.10 would be a bit faster than 10.04. can somebody confirm that from experience? i am on a netbook (lenovo s12) so I'd appreciate comments from netbook-users.
[18:36] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: BIOS settings.
[18:37] <beuken> vic20gmr: set the bios to boot from cd and you'll be fine (of removable drive if your using an usb drive)
[18:37] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, i have that setup,
[18:37] <Jazzinghen> I'm experiencing Video Tearing (Expecially with h264 ones), colour gradients that are not smooth and the fans are always working

[18:38] <andai> is HDMI audio supported in ubuntu yet?
[18:38] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[18:38] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, but anyway, u have any ide why this thing continues to tell me i dont have enogh space? [i did initialize it as fat32 also]
[18:38] <vic20gmr> im in 10.04 as we seak

[18:54] <alket_> Is there any way to install Internet Explorer 8 in Ubuntu ? I need it for web design previews ?
[18:54] <firewaterburnz> does anybody out there know if there is a way to have RutilIT Added to startup in such a way that it does not require the administrative password on bootup?
[18:54] <herro> but its on a vps
[18:54] <beuken> wookiehangover, X-Sleepy-X, im restarting the torrent, thanks for the response
[18:54] <tensorpudding> alket_: you might be able to emulate it on Wine
[18:54] <tannerste> alket: check out ies4linux
[18:54] <tensorpudding> alket_: but for best results, install Windows virtually, or get a Windows machine.
[18:54] <herro> what would i type Minecraft_Mod.jar & exit?
[18:54] <ardian> Hi alket_
[18:55] <alket_> hey ardian
[18:55] <ardian> Try wine
[18:55] <zulax> is there a builtin command to see my external ip?
[18:55] <alket_> tensorpudding, im not able to download it but i will try virtualbox
[18:55] <tensorpudding> Wine can emulate IE7 iirc, but not IE8
[18:55] <aeon-ltd> herro: no you would type the first command (with & at the end) then the command exit to close the terminal and it should be in the background independant of the terminal
[18:55] <tensorpudding> and surely not IE9 beta
[18:55] <Queops> Guys my country repositories are really slow today, how can I quickly change them for global or something from the console? (I'm on a server, second attempt)
[18:55] <ardian> hmm
[18:55] <tensorpudding> it saves you much trouble to just have a windows machien
[18:56] <herro> no but i want to stop the process
[18:56] <herro> its running right now
[18:56] <herro> i want to stop it without killing it so it can save the map chunks
[18:56] <yxz97> Jordan_U: I tried other wihtout luck, but your tool works mate
[18:56] <yxz97> Jordan_U: you rock..
[18:56] <tensorpudding> herro: what are you talking about "stopping without killing"
[18:56] <tensorpudding> herro: you mean SIGTERM vs. SIGKILL?
[18:57] <herro> lets say i do kill appid and stop my server that way it wont save the chunks and ill lose part of my map
[18:57] <firewaterburnz> does anybody out there know if there is a way to have RutilIT Added to startup in such a way that it does not require the administrative password on bootup?
[18:57] <herro> so is their a way to stop it and let it save?
[18:57] <tensorpudding> if you send TERM, it should shut down normally. that's the default behavior of the kill command kill
[18:57] <birtan> hi! i create dictionary program and i want to add it to panel but how can i do that ? anybody knows that?
[18:57] <raulantonio> hello man!
[18:57] <yxz97> Jordan_U: the extra parameter you told me was "rootwait", but I guess the problem is that cannot find the /dev/sdb6
[18:58] <aeon-ltd> herro: herro depends how the game saves, kill (or sigterm) should allow it to close properly without really(as in literally) 'killing' the process
[18:58] <yxz97> Jordan_U: so if we add this parameter, has no effect since that device is not available
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> birtan:  make a launcher on the desktop, drag it to the panel, or add a menu item via alacarte and drag that to the panel
[18:58] <yxz97> Jordan_U: like that something went wrong with the installation, my friend
[18:58] <ardian> when I want to apt-get update
[18:58] <birtan> Dr_Willis :  i mean textbox must show on panel
[18:58] <ardian> it says insert CD
[18:58] <tensorpudding> kill -9 sends SIGKILL, which kills the program without cleanup
[18:59] <ardian> wtf never had this ?
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> birtan:  sounds like you  may need to make a custome panel applet then
[18:59] <tensorpudding> ardian: sounds like you have a CD in your software sources
[18:59] <birtan> Dr_Willis: yep how can i do that
[18:59] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U,  yes, it shows the corresponding free space
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> birtan:  no idea - i dont code.
[18:59] <ardian> tensorpudding, no It says that if I want to update I have to put the Ubuntu 10.10 CD
[18:59] <Queops> Guys my country repositories are really slow today, how can I quickly change them for global or something from the console? (I'm on a server, third attempt at asking, any help WOULD help T_T)
[18:59] <herro> ive also realized each time i get on vps with my putty and exit and come back the ssh process will stay their
[19:00] <firewaterburnz> does anybody out there know if there is a way to have RutilIT Added to startup in such a way that it does not require the administrative password on bootup?
[19:00] <herro> so if i log in 5 times theirs gonna be 5 processes
[19:00] <PhoenixWi> Hello. Would anyone know why an ext4 filesystem would report this error: EXT4-fs error (device md0): ext4_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal	EXT4-fs (md0): Remounting filesystem read-only. I can mount it just fine from Arch. Cant understand why its doing this.
[19:00] <mori64> any one could not help me
[19:00] <birtan> :) thanks Dr_Willis ! may be i can find some documentetion
[19:00] <Dr_Willis> birtan:  I cant recall any text entry panel applets really.
[19:01] <tensorpudding> ardian: open up the software center, then Edit -> Software Sources, and make sure that the CD option in the Other Software tab is unchecked
[19:01] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: Can you copy the iso onto the flash drive as a file?

[19:02] <ardian> ahhh thanks tensorpudding
[19:04] <magicianlord> does anyone know if firefox 3.5 is any safer than i. explorer 8 and vice versa?
[19:04] <damnedyankee> Hello.  I have a strange problem: My computer can apparently see my sound card, but I have no sound.  This is in Maverick.
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> magicianlord:  i woukd have to suggest googling for some benchmarks/security testing reports on both..
[19:05] <Queops> Guys my country repositories are really slow today, how can I quickly change them for global or something from the console?
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> magicianlord:  may as well check for reviews/tests for chrome browser and opera while you are at it. :)
[19:06] <magicianlord> Dr_Willis: the reviews are inconclusive.
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> magicianlord:  im not suprised at that
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> magicianlord:  i would think FF on linux is more secure then IE on Windows. :) due to the Underlaying OS. :P
[19:08] <Queops> magicianlord: It's as safe as your navigation habits, security on the system etc. Also use FF and if you can Chrome /this last brings some extra security
[19:08] <Queops> Also both FF and Chrome allow addons to strengthen your security
[19:08] <magicianlord> yeah
[19:08] <magicianlord> it's tough, because banking and other business sites rely on ie
[19:08] <Queops> That sucks I admit
[19:09] <Queops> though I never had problem lately, things are changing
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> Only sites ive seen that 'need ie' lately were badly coded sites..
[19:09] <Queops> Hehe.
[19:09] <magicianlord> yes
[19:09] <herro> i just entered ps aux | less how do i get out of their?
[19:09] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, i was able to copy the file to drive
[19:09] <spr0k3t> personal opinion, if the site needs IE to function, I just won't use it.
[19:09] <Queops> My country repositories are really slow today, how can I quickly change them for global or something from the console? (Please tell me someone has a clue ol)
[19:09] <Queops> lol

[19:10] <Queops> herro: when in doubt also exit the process with ctrl + <

[19:10] <Queops> OerHeks: how can I do that from the console
[19:11] <spr0k3t> OerHeks: he's prolly doing it all in tty, thus needs console
[19:11] <Queops> Yeh server mode here.

[19:21] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, just before you said it does matter, i figured id put the cd i used to install 10.04 to begin with in, and tr it
[19:22] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: If it's 10.10 Desktop that makes it easier because 10.10 has a loopback.cfg: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Loopback.cfg . If it's an Alternate install iso then you'll have problems with any version number of Ubuntu.
[19:22] <vic20gmr> with it and the 2gb flash selected the "make startup disk" button is "lit", what is the oldest i can use this way?
[19:22] <vic20gmr> also could i use this methon on a ppc version of ubuntu?
[19:23] <Queops> Oh right, is there any package to adjust grub settings on server 10.10?
[19:23] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, its neither alt, ot 10.04 its simply an older version of desktop
[19:23] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: You cannot use unetbootin with PPC, but loop booting with grub2 will probably work.
[19:24] <rkpisanu> Queops, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:24] <rkpisanu> and edit it
[19:24] <Queops> Appreciated!
[19:24] <_Lau_> hallo
[19:24] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: Follow this guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1288604
[19:25] <Jordan_U> !grub2 | Queops
[19:25] <Queops> Ah I should have said grub2
[19:25] <Queops> my bad
[19:26] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U,  is unetbootin the same as usb-creator-gtk?
[19:26] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: It works the same way.
[19:27] <HaoRen> may i ask is there anyone here from malaysia?
[19:27] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, well im dissapointed, it didnt work like i wanted it to, but i learned, withnyour help, and laring is always good [as far as im concerned it is :)], so thank you for the help
[19:28] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: You're welcome.

[19:31] <herro> is their a cmd to see how much bandwith is being used?
[19:32] <rkpisanu> herro, use system monitor
[19:32] <rfmonk> hello, im configuring a line in line out style headset with skype on maverick I can get the line in working through sound prefs but not the line out
[19:33] <digitalstimulus> does anyone know of a good way to burn lots of media files across multiple discs?
[19:33] <rfmonk> im not sure which direction to look in
[19:33] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, one last quesion, i noticed there is an ubuntu 11.04, i mostly want wine, and linuz native games [and to be able to watch stuff on hulu.com], would i be better off with 10.10, or wud 11.04 be just as well/better for that?
[19:33] <rfmonk> ive read the skype docs already
[19:33] <herro> rkpisanu: its on a vps
[19:34] <rfmonk> ive checked all the variables in the sound preference dialog
[19:34] <jhl> What's the best solution for holding a video chat from a Ubuntu machine with someone on a Windows machine?
[19:34] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: 11.04 is still in development. I would stick with 10.10 for now.
[19:34] <rfmonk> jhl maybe skype
[19:34] <vic20gmr> Jordan_U, ok, i kinda fig'd along those lines, thaks again
[19:35] <Jordan_U> vic20gmr: You're welcome.
[19:35] <herro> is their a cmd to see how much bandwith is being used? On a vps
[19:35] <jhl> rfmonk: Should have clarified that I'm looking for an open source solution.
[19:35] <Jinxed-> what is the command for traceroute
[19:35] <lued> Hello, just a quick question: im on a dual boot machine. I'm making windows 7 the default selection on grub and I want to make it boot directly, if i make timeout 0 how can I acces grub again so I can boot ubuntu?
[19:36] <Jinxed-> that is included with ubuntu
[19:36] <biopyte> i want to upgrade a single package ('musescore') on my 10.04 install to the 10.10 version without upgrading the whole system. how?
[19:36] <digitalstimulus> lued, I usually set my timeouts to 5s
[19:36] <OerHeks> lued just hold left shift during boot
[19:36] <lued> awesome OerHeks thats what i was looking for thanks!
[19:36] <rfmonk> Jinxed I use traceroute6 at the command line
[19:37] <digitalstimulus> I always forget when I reboot to switch OS unless I am prompted by the grub menu
[19:37] <rfmonk> or you could just use network tools
[19:41] <nsd> I'm trying to do USB sniffing and a number of guides show to identify devices with "cat /proc/bus/usb", but I don't have that file on my system. Apparently, that's something that is optional when compiling the kernel...? Do I have to recompile my kernel? Or do I try mounting usbdevfs, and do it somewhere else?
[19:41] <rkpisanu> nsd, try lsusb
[19:41] <Zol> How can I easily switch between GUI and command line? (not talking about terminal here, but a fullscreen command line modus?)
[19:42] <jianfei> I am running ubuntu latest version, how do I install another distro which is in ISO format without burning a cd/DVD or using a USB?
[19:42] <mgouin> Jinxed: I just discovered that tracepath can be used.
[19:42] <nsd> rkpisanu: ohhhhhh... so did they come up with lsusb instead of using cat on /proc files? and do those bus numbers correspond with those in /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon?
[19:43] <yxz97> Jordan_U: I'm installing from the CD, which filesystem do you recomend me ? ext2, ext3, ext4 ?
[19:43] <ZykoticK9> jianfei, i've never done it, but you can somehow add an ISO as a boot option to Grub.
[19:43] <progre55> hi guys. any good video recording apps? so that I could record from a webcam and save it into the comp..
[19:43] <ZykoticK9> progre55, cheese maybe?
[19:43] <Jordan_U> yxz97: ext4.
[19:44] <nsd> rkpisanu: and that did give me a list, thanks
[19:44] <yxz97> JSF, or XFS, or, ReiserFS (by the way this last I remeber was used on SLackware since I remeber when I was a child, hehehehe)
[19:44] <mgouin> Zol: you can use Ctrl+Alt+F1 for a full screen terminal and Ctrl+Alt+F7 back to gui.
[19:44] <rfmonk> vic20gmr usually (unless you have a specific need or are a developer) your fine with 'stable' (10.10)  I run crossover office (wine) and hulu just fine with maverick 10.10
[19:44] <yxz97> Jordan_U: ext4 is new, right ?
[19:44] <Jordan_U> yxz97: Relatively new, yes.
[19:44] <ZykoticK9> Zol, ctrl+alt+f1 (f1-f6) to get terminal, then ctrl+alt+f6-f10 to get back to GUI
[19:45] <progre55> ZykoticK9: thanks
[19:45] <rkpisanu> nsd, you are welcome
[19:45] <jianfei> ZykoticK9: Hmmm..I basically just wanna mount it and install it but have no media just the iso..
[19:45] <ZykoticK9> jianfei, i think you'd need the Grub method - not 100% sure though.
[19:46] <Jordan_U> jianfei: It depends on what the iso is exactly. Only some isos can be loop booted, they need to be designed specifically for the purpose.
[19:46] <rkpisanu> jianfei, see virtualbox
[19:46] <rfmonk> if all your looking for is a full screen terminal why not just f11 the terminal application?
[19:46] <ultrAslan> 1544
[19:46] <herro> I have kloxo on my vps what do i type to see what port its using?
[19:47] <herro> netstat what?
[19:47] <jianfei> Jordan_U: What is loop booting?
[19:47] <yxz97> brb
[19:47] <syn-ack> jianfei, Booting an iso that's not on a CD or or similar medium
[19:47] <syn-ack> you have to mount it on the loopback device to do so
[19:48] <Jordan_U> jianfei: Booting an OS where the OS reads its root filesystem from a file on a filesystem rather than directly from the CD/USB.
[19:48] <magicjoe> ANYONE: know anything abut Wubi?
[19:48] <Jordan_U> !anyone | magicjoe
[19:48] <ZykoticK9> syn-ack, (love the Nic) can you "Boot" from a loop mounted ISO though (other then using Grub?)
[19:48] <magicjoe> sorry
[19:48] <rkpisanu> !wubi | magicjoe
[19:49] <syn-ack> ZykoticK9, yes. IIRC, you need GRUB2 to do so
[19:49] <ZykoticK9> magicjoe, Wubi is a good test "if you'd like ubuntu or not", not so good for a "real" install however.
[19:50] <magicjoe> ok, sorry, let me clarify. I have a wubi installation on an xp maching. everything was working fine, until, i just now did an update. it froze up in the middle of that. so i had to manually restart the computer. when i try to boot up now, i only have windows in grub
[19:50] <magicjoe> any way to get that back?
[19:50] <Jinxed-> is it tracepath or pathtrace ?
[19:51] <syn-ack> tracepath
[19:51] <mgouin> Jinxed: on my machine (10.04), it's called tracepath.  For example: tracepath www.google.ca
[19:51] <syn-ack> Jinxed-, and if you want the IPv6 version, it's tracepath6
[19:52] <syn-ack> Jinxed-, Not trying to sound like an ass, but that's what tab complete is for...
[19:52] <magicjoe> basically i have a folder in xp called ubuntu, and it has large files that are my ubuntu installation, but there is a folder called boot, which has a folder called grub, which is now empty. can i rebuild a "grub" file in windows through notepad, that will bring this partition back alive?
[19:52] <mgouin> Hi guys, I want to disable the trackstick on my laptop and only keep the touchpad.  I found the xinput command to do so (xinput --set-prop 10 117 0).  Where do I put this in a startup script to make it permanent?
[19:53] <esd> is it any way for linux people to screencast to ustream/livestream/etc?
[19:53] <magicjoe> or basically , i screwed the pooch?
[19:53] <ZykoticK9> esd, i know Jono Bacon uses Windows for his Ustream broadcasts.
[19:54] <esd> ZykoticK9: well how about linux? :)
[19:54] <ZykoticK9> esd, seeing as Jono is the Ubuntu community manager i don't think you can use Ustream (not sure about livestream).  Good luck man.
[19:54] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: You should be able to just add this to your boot.ini (add a new line to the end of the file):        c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu"
[19:54] <syn-ack> esd, I would think that that comment made it fairly evident that there probably is none.
[19:54] <rfmonk> esd have you read this yet? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScreenCasts
[19:54] <HaoRen> magicjoe: how about login back to windows and reinstall wubi?
[19:55] <esd> rfmonk: did not, will do
[19:55] <esd> i used to stream to my icecast server
[19:55] <esd> but icecast update fucked up everydthing
[19:55] <esd> and im having trouble fixing that so looking for alternate solutions atm
[19:55] <syn-ack> !language esd
[19:56] <magicjoe> HaoRen: I am logged into windows now, but if i reinstall wubi, i will lose all my settings. i have compiz with cube and stuff
[19:56] <syn-ack> !language | esd
[19:56] <esd> k
[19:56] <rfmonk> there is really nothing impossible on linux, just varying degrees of hair pulling
[19:56] <rfmonk> and time
[19:56] <syn-ack> rfmonk, um, I've run into a few things that really are unpossible in linux
[19:56] <magicjoe> HaoRen: what if i back up all the .disk files, to my exHD, then reinstall wubi, and replace the .disk files with the old ones? maybe safer?
[19:56] <rfmonk> like?
[19:56] <rfmonk> quickbooks
[19:56] <syn-ack> Very few, but there are some out there.
[19:56] <rfmonk> =]
[19:57] <rfmonk> like?
[19:57] <ZykoticK9> syn-ack, "me fail english, but that's unpossible" ;)
[19:57] <syn-ack> ;)
[19:57] <syn-ack> Well, Quickbooks is actually a decent example
[19:57] <jianfei> How do I use my iPad Internet via Bluetooth for my laptop running 10.10?
[19:57] <HaoRen> idk, lol sorry but i just use wubi once before.. never got that kind of experience
[19:57] <syn-ack> And really, trying to get that thing running in WiNe is damned near impossible.
[19:57] <rfmonk> yes, its very hard to replicate that
[19:58] <rfmonk> i beat my head against that many times
[19:58] <rfmonk> but you can just run QB in a VM
[19:58] <Jibadeeha> anyone here use/recommend dropbox for ubuntu?
[19:58] <rfmonk> or use it with crossover office
[19:58] <rfmonk> wine
[19:58] <syn-ack> rfmonk, you know as well as I do, that while some Windows apps can be coaxed into running in WiNE it really is better to VM;.... NM
[19:59] <rfmonk> depending on the amount of memory and the program, but yes
[20:00] <magicjoe> HaoRen: do you think that idea would work?
[20:00] <syn-ack> My POV is this really: If you want to run Windows software, run Windows. Solves a lot of headaches.
[20:00] <syn-ack> Again, that's just me.
[20:00] <HaoRen> magicjoe: i don't know
[20:01] <magicjoe> i have karmic powerpc running on my laptop, which i am typing on here now. its an ibook g4 dual boot with osx tiger
[20:01] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: You should be able to just add this to your boot.ini (add a new line to the end of the file):        c:\wubildr.mbr="Ubuntu"
[20:01] <rythbuntu> can cocoa application framework be installed in ubuntu?
[20:01] <magicjoe> my desktop is  a pentium 4 running xp with a fake wubi
[20:01] <raulantonio> alguien habla español?
[20:02] <erUSUL> !es | raulantonio
[20:02] <maelstrom> I have two monitors. When I click "full screen" in Flash movies on the web, the movie always fills my one screen when I'd prefer it to fill the other. Any idea how to accomplish that?
[20:02] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: so if that ini file is gone, can i create that in notepad, and add that line in? or do i need more data than that line?
[20:02] <erUSUL> rythbuntu: only obj-c compiler and openstep libs ( gnustep )
ooookkk
i have a problem with wine,it can not execute any .exe file,pops up a message about execution bit
[20:04] <raulantonio> thank's!!!
[20:04] <erUSUL> rythbuntu: give executalbe permission to the exe file. in the file properties. permision tab. is a checkbox iirc
[20:05] <lazarus_> http://pastebin.com/1Sc1F6pe is there any way of improvin this
i have tried to do that but it just couldn't be checked
[20:06] <erUSUL> rythbuntu: what filesystem is th exe on?
[20:06] <braxton> I accidentally saved over a file using openoffice; is there any way I can retrieve the past one?
ntfs
[20:06] <braxton> Please answer if you can, this is urgent.
it worked with 10.04
[20:06] <erUSUL> rythbuntu: it may have been mounted with the noexec file
[20:06] <Jibadeeha> anyone here use/recommend dropbox for ubuntu?
but 10.04 worked well
[20:07] <magicjoe> well, im going to try backing up the files in the folder created by wubi, reinstalling wubi, then replacing the default files with my old ones, and see if that revives it. but first going to try this created .ini file in the boot/grub folder and rebooting. maybe that will fix it, if none of these work, im starting from scratch
[20:07] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: To edit the boot.ini, 1: Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. 2: On the Advanced tab, click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
[20:07] <erUSUL> rythbuntu: they may  have changed the defaults ...
[20:07] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: 3: Under System Startup, click Edit.  (from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022 )
[20:08] <annihilator> what is the difference between 64bit and 32bit linux? hardwise and software wise?
[20:08] <mgouin> In which startup script can I put custom X init settings?
[20:08] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: that line is in that file from the instructions you just gave me.
[20:09] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: I have a Wubi installation. so thats what the difference is
[20:09] <CT1> Hi.  Is there a *simple* drawing app similar to mspaint/pbrush?  I have gimp for my brother, but I want to drunkenly scribble something without learning a new app.  (I *do* have paper, but all my pens are broken ;p)
[20:09] <TheMusicGuy> I would like a guest session (X/Gnome, not terminal) to start automatically in the background whenever Ubuntu boots without losing the login screen. Is there a command I can put into a startup script somwehere that will make that happen? I already tried but to no avail.
[20:10] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: I created a blank file, with that line in it, and put it into the boot/grub folder in the dir created by the wubi installer. hoping that will solve on reboot
[20:10] <grzegorz_> Ktoś z polski ?
[20:10] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: called it boot.ini, and added the line you told me to put in.
[20:10] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: boot.ini is a windows configuration file, it's not contained in boot/grub or any wubi specific directory. It's in the root of the partition (but it's hidden and read only by default, so follow the instructions I gave to open it).
[20:11] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: i did that and the line was already there.
then how to make it work?
[20:12] <erUSUL> rythbuntu: can you copy it to your honme partition ?
[20:12] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: I guess what i need then is what do i need to put into the boot/grub folder under the wubi directory to get the ubuntu option back when i boot up?
[20:13] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: thats why im backing up the .disk files with all my settings and whatnot, then will reinstall wubi and replace the default .disk files with my old ones.
[20:13] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: Odd. Can you take a picture of the menu(s) you see at boot?
[20:13] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: sigh. no. it happened because i was updating, and it froze
[20:14] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: No to what? You can't take a picture of the menus you see at boot?
yeah that worked.....but cant it be done in the mounted partition?
[20:14] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: i get the windows xp or Ubuntu
[20:15] <erUSUL> rythbuntu: you can tr to remount it without the noexec thing
[20:15] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: when i click ubuntu, there is no linux option in the grub loader
[20:15] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: Ok. Can you boot an Ubuntu LiveCD?
how?
[20:15] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: the updates removed a lot of the files, and was going to install new files, but froze up. i had to hard restart
[20:16] <erUSUL> rythbuntu: check how it is mounted  « cat /proc/mounts » then remount it
[20:16] <C1iFF> Does any1 know how to specify a custom EDID file on the new Xorg.conf file??
[20:16] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: I have Helix 3
[20:16] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: That's a problem within the root.dsk file, so re-installing won't help.
[20:16] <erUSUL> rythbuntu: sudo mount mountpointhere -o remount,exec
[20:16] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: so is there a fix for this?
[20:16] <herro> how can i see the bandwith usage for my vps?
[20:17] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: Yes, but it's hard to fix from within windows.
[20:17] <nik__> VIM rulez
[20:17] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: well, i have helix 3. its forensics tools built on ubuntu....will that work?
[20:17] <lexvegas> Hello, all. I created a PGP key a while back, and I have since been forced to reinstall my system. Long story short, I no longer have a copy of this key, except for what is on the keyservers. How can I remove this key from the servers, or re claim it, if that is possible so I can use it to encrypt files and emails again?
the output is <<fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096 0 0>>
[20:17] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: Yes.
[20:18] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: ok, so im going to boot up to that, and then you can help me fix my wubi?
[20:18] <annihilator> what is the difference between 64bit and 32bit linux? hardwise and software wise?
[20:18] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: Yes.
[20:19] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: thank you for this. booting up now
[20:20] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: You're welcome.
[20:20] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: can i go smoke a cig real quick while this reboots?
[20:20] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: im talking to you on my laptop, my desktop has the problem
[20:21] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: I'm not going to stop you (and I will still be here when you get back :)
[20:21] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: thanks again. brb. helix is loading
[20:22] <C1iFF> Any1 know a fix to having the monitor on a abnormal size in Maverick 64 bit??
[20:24] <dragonkeeper> pidgin messenger wont work and empathy  logs in but wont let me chat ;/
[20:24] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: back. thanks again for your patience and time, and help. helix is up and running
[20:25] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: Do you know how to mount partitions and how to loop mount files?
[20:25] <stylishGeek> Hello, I'm new to ubuntu and have been having trouble as of late. The OS is working fine and I love it! However, for some reason I can't get the sound to work.

[20:27] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: my windows partition is mounted
[20:27] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: Can you pastebin the output of "blkid"?
[20:27] <danielddt1> Quick question: Does having a folder with more then 100,000 files will affect a server's performance?
[20:27] <Dibbler_> anyone know of a file manager like midnight commander , but with a web interface ?
[20:27] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: i cant past it to here because this is my laptop, and the wubi is on my destop, but i can type in what it says...let me run that
[20:28] <magicjoe> Jordan_U:it lists all my partitions, and i have one loop0 type =squashfs
[20:28] <Jordan_U> magicjoe: If you've already mounted your windows partition (and you know the mount point) then I don't need that output.
[20:29] <cemc> I have a laptop with an SSD and I would like to set commit=60 on the root partition. I did it in /etc/fstab and in grub, but something still appends a commit=0 at the end (or commit=600 when on battery).
[20:29] <magicjoe> Jordan_U: yeah its dev/hda1
