[15:07] <evergren> I have a problem….I have deskjet 670c, old printing: till ubuntu 9,04, in the press c' it was the possibility to print also pages from lucid paper, now with ubuntu 9,10 cè only prints to color or white man gray, without lucid paper; how never? puo to return themselves or to add still such possibility?
[15:07] <mazda01> grawity, that works just liek sh .conkylaunch. BOTH my main conky as well as the conky calander start up just fine
[15:07] <snake> How can I add a directory to my $PATH variable.
[15:08] <grawity> snake: To the beginning or end?
[15:08] <snake> end
[15:08] <grawity> snake: export PATH="$PATH:/new/directory"
[15:08] <snake> okay thankyou
[15:08] <grawity> snake: Add to ~/.bashrc to make the change permanent
[15:09] <warddr> hello, is there a way to regenerate awstats? I added an additional ip filter and I'd like to apply that to the entire logfile.
[15:09] <caseyw1> I've installed ubuntu under windows, is there a way to switch to it as my main OS and blow out windows altogether?
[15:10] <ActionParsnip1> yo yo yo
[15:10] <EagleScreen> yes caseyw1, but I think you have to do a real Ubuntu installation
[15:10] <snake> grawity im confused about "~/.bashrc"
[15:10] <warddr> caseyw1, if you installed using wine you'll have to reinstall if you want to remove windows
[15:10] <grawity> caseyw1: depends on how did you install Ubuntu - Wubi or "real" dual-boot.
[15:10] <warddr> *using wubi, caseyw1
[15:10] <bullgard4> Slart: Is the first letter 'D' of '-Dpulse' of special meaning?
[15:11] <Zorael> Does anyone know of any app that can generate tabbing hierarchy in source files? I have an XML file that had its hierarchy flattened and would like to reconstruct it.
[15:11] <evergren> I have a problem….I have deskjet 670c, old printing: till ubuntu 9,04, in the press c' it was the possibility to print also pages from lucid paper, now with ubuntu 9,10 cè only prints to color or white man gray, without lucid paper; how never? puo to return themselves or to add still such possibility?
[15:11] <grawity> snake: When a path starts with ~/ it means your home directory, or "homedir". If your Ubuntu username is "snake", then your homedir probably is at /home/snake/
[15:11] <mazda01> grawity, any thoughts. very weird. what does the run prompt run the .conkylaunch command with? Also, what's the difference from running bash script with the sh thing or without it because if I run sh .conkylaunch from termminal, it does what I want. if I run .conkylaunch  (without the sh), it doesn't do what I want.
[15:11] <lstarnes> bullgard4: maybe "device"
[15:11] <ActionParsnip1> Zorael: email the coder to tell him/her their layout stinks ;)
[15:12] <IdleOne> caseyw1: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How do I migrate to a real partition, and/or get rid of Windows entirely?
[15:12] <ActionParsnip1> evergren: install the latest HPLIP
[15:12] <mazda01> grawity, is it my terminal setting somewhere that tell it to run command with a certain interpretor or something liek that
[15:13] <caseyw1> Thanks for all the responses. What I did was, when I was in windows a window popped up and said I could install from within windows, and so I did. I think that's the wubi.
[15:13] <Slart> bullgard4: I think it's simply short for "Device"
[15:13] <theyCallMeJohnny> Dr_Willis: hm it doesnt work, heres my smb.conf, i restartet the samba server too http://paste.pocoo.org/show/159749/
[15:13] <Soslas> anyone?
[15:13] <Soslas> hey my samba share(windows-ubuntu) works for a while and then says, connection time out.. any ideas?
[15:13] <linuxghost> http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523
[15:13] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: try changing the socket option to tcp_nodelay (should be in the file already, just uncomment it)
[15:13] <grawity> mazda01: When you type "./.conkylaunch", the shell takes "./.conkylaunch" as the command, and tells Linux to start it. Its contents start with #!/bin/bash, so Linux runs 'bash' and tells to execute that script.
[15:14] <Bohemian> what's the best address book and mail client for windows?
[15:14] <theyCallMeJohnny> Dr_Willis: when i create a file or directory its still read only
[15:14] <snake> grawity: thanks
[15:14] <bullgard4> lstarnes: I would like to know what programs process an option (or name) 'Dpulse' other or differently than an option (or name) 'Fpulse', for example.
[15:14] <Slart> bullgard4: sometimes they want   blabla --device=something .. other times they want   blabla -D=something  or blabla -D something  . in this case they want  blabla -Dsomething
[15:14] <grawity> Bohemian: Thunderbird. (Outlook 2007 is good too)
[15:14] <Bohemian> thunderbird does address book too?
[15:14] <warddr> caseyw1, yes; that is wubi
[15:14] <Slart> bullgard4: afaik it's just a choice whoever write amixer did
[15:14] <grawity> mazda01: When you type "sh .conkylaunch", the shell takes "sh" as the command, and Linux runs 'sh' -- which is _not_ the same as 'bash'.
[15:14] <Slart> *wrote
[15:14] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: there is no best app for anything
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> !windows | Bohemian
[15:15] <Bohemian> grawity: thanks! would you recommend any other apps for a 60+ year old to have fun using a computer?
[15:15] <mazda01> grawity, ok, i think sh stands for shell but which shell does it use to run the command?
[15:15] <evergren> ActionParsnip1, install the latest HPLIP you know I can find where it?
[15:15] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 in  /etc/samba/smb.conf?
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: yes
[15:15] <dinosaurvskitten> I have this pdf of a scan of a book that has very grainy fonts, to the point where it's hardly possible to read it. However, I'm able to select text and search the document just fine in evince, so the actual text must be somehow embedded in the pdf file. Is there a way to make evince overlay the grainy fonts with something more readable? (or maybe another pdf reader that could do the job?)
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[15:15] <ActionParsnip1> evergren: websearch it
[15:16] <mazda01> grawity, so you're saying that bash is not the default shell for running command otherwise .conkylaunch would work just like ./.conkylaunch right? im confussed why this isn't working
[15:16] <Bohemian> can someone show me a screen shot of their ubuntu machine running flux or gnome?
[15:16] <caseyw1> Thanks IdleOne
[15:16] <grawity> mazda01: 'sh' doesn't just stand for any shell; it is the "Bourne Shell", a very basic one.
[15:16] <ActionParsnip1> evergren: you will get a script to run from the good people at HP (who make Linux drivers :))
[15:16] <IdleOne> caseyw1: welcome
[15:16] <bullgard4> Slart: Do you mean that the author of the amixer command gave a special meaning to the first letter D in a amixer option name?
[15:16] <linuxghost> somebody help me how to patch http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523 here: patch < debian/patches/kcompat-2.6.2*
[15:16] <linuxghost> somebody help me how to patch http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523 here: patch < debian/patches/kcompat-2.6.2*  on ubuntu 9.10 not debian
[15:16] <grawity> mazda01: 'bash' is "Bourne Again Shell", a very improved one. You start 'bash' every time when you open a terminal.

[15:17] <blackshell> is there a channle for pidgin?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip1> blackshell: sure
[15:17] <blackshell> whatst it?
[15:17] <grawity> blackshell: #pidgin on this network (Freenode)
[15:17] <dinosaurvskitten> blackshell, er, #pidgin
[15:17] <Slart> bullgard4: no.. ok.. lets do this from the beginning.. the device name is "pulse".. not "Dpulse" or anything like that
[15:18] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  if you use bash shell features. start scripts with #!/bin/bash to be specific :)
[15:18] <xiven> Hey all. Have a little issue. I have Karmic installed on a laptop inside virtualbox. But, it only sees one screen, when it should see an LCD, and an External Monitor.
[15:18] <ActionParsnip1> blackshell: its a multiprotocol chat client
[15:18] <adalal> right
[15:18] <grawity> ActionParsnip1: he's  asking about the channel, not Pidgin in general
   http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html  ???????????
[15:18] <ai9371> im trying to set up web server
[15:18] <ActionParsnip1> xiven: i'd ask in #vbox
[15:18] <ai9371> and Xampp isnt working
[15:18] <adalal> anyone knows why i would not be able to get keys of the ubuntu keyservers but other computer in the same network can?
[15:18] <queso> If I was in the middle of copying like 50GBs using rsync, and it stopped in the middle unexpectedly, will it continue where it left off the next time I run the command if I specificy the same directories?  Or should I start from scratch?
[15:18] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, grawity, my script does start with bash doesn't it? #!/bin/bash
[15:19] <Slart> bullgard4: the -D part is just a parameter.. or switch
[15:19] <grawity> mazda01: Yes. But when you type 'sh conkylaunch' that line is ignored
[15:19] <Slart> bullgard4: all these switches or parameters are listed in the man page
[15:19] <ActionParsnip1> evergren: yes that, download it, set it as executable using chmod +x  then run it as a user, you will be asked for your sudo pass later
[15:19] <grawity> mazda01: So try changing to #!/bin/sh, maybe it'll start working.
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  so that shouldent be an issue then.  use 'bash whateverlauinch' or dont use 'sh'  to launch it.
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  try 'bash whatever.sh'
[15:19] <bullgard4> Slart: Ah, ok. One can concatenate '-D' and 'pulse'.
[15:19] <linuxghost> how to locate file adress in terminal?
[15:19] <Slart> bullgard4: yes
[15:19] <grawity> queso: rsync is actually designed to be resumeable
[15:19] <mazda01> grawity, how come the command works when I run either "./" or "sh" before my command ".conkylaunch" but not when I run merely ".conkylaunch" by itself if the script tells it to use bash?
[15:19] <bullgard4> Slart: Thank you.
[15:19] <ActionParsnip1> queso: it will recompare the files and see some are still old and copy them over so yes
[15:20] <ste> darksin.net
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  sh by default  is a link to 'dash' not 'bash'
[15:20] <Slart> bullgard4: you're welcome
[15:20] <grawity> mazda01: ah, I thought you always use at least the ./ part?
[15:20] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: address? don't you mean location?
[15:20] <mazda01> grawity, no
[15:20] <adalal> anyone knows why one computer in a network wouldn't be able to connect to keyserver.ubuntu.com while other cmputers in the network can?
[15:20] <queso> grawity, ActionParsnip1: Okay, I thought that was the case given the name, but wanted to be sure. Awesome, thank you :)
[15:20] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, so it's because dash doesn't know what to do with the command but bash does?
[15:20] <Bohemian> does ubuntu have hardened sources? or an encrypted file system?
[15:21] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, how do I change a terminal from using dash to bash?
[15:21] <adalal> Bohemian: you can have an encrypted home folder
[15:21] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: can it ping it and nslookup it, can it ping it?
[15:21] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: yup
[15:21] <snake> grawity: so how do I add to the ~/.bashrc ?
[15:21] <Hetman> hello got problem :  nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'vpnuk' failed to connect: 'No VPN secrets!'._
[15:21] <Hetman> system updated, any ideas how to fix that ?
[15:21] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: how would i perform an nslookup?
[15:21] <Bohemian> adalal: do i do that at startup? or do i have to install that later?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: can you traceroute to it?
[15:21] <grawity> snake: 1) Open a text editor. 2) Open the file ~/.bashrc in it. 3) Scroll down to the bottom. 4) Figure out the rest yourself.
[15:21] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: nslookup keyserver.whatever.fish
[15:22] <Rob215> I've got a problem
[15:22] <snake> okay...
[15:22] <mazda01> grawity,  well, the bottom line is that i am going to want to add the bash script ".conkylaunch" to my startup list of programs that get run when I start the computer. so i am hoping that I can merely put ".conkylaunch" in that list and it will start botht the calander and the main conky.
[15:22] <grawity> mazda01: it's a different thing then... When you don't specify any path at all, just run "conkylaunch", Linux searches all directories in $PATH. And when you specify "./", Linux only checks . (current directory)...
[15:22] <Rob215> details here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:22] <adalal> Bohemian: that is typically installed while installing ubuntu, although im sure they're guides out there to help you out on google
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  dash is used by system scripts and when you call somthing using 'sh' expilicty. normal user shell is bash,
[15:22] <Slart> Bohemian: yes.. I think you can encrypt it all (well.. apart from the boot partition) or just parts ..
[15:22] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: just replace the command in your ping with nslookup, make sure it resolves to the same IP on a system which is ok
[15:22] <Slart> !encryption
[15:22] <Bohemian> in the installer?
[15:22] <Rob215> Help please
[15:22] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: on it
[15:22] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: ask away
[15:22] <Slart> Bohemian: try the alternate installer
[15:22] <bullgard4> Slart: May I ask you this? Where can I find a component diagram showing the relationship of PulseAudio and ALSA? I found no hit googling. The diagram in http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/PulseAudio did not enlighten me.
[15:22] <Slart> !alternate | Bohemian
[15:23] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: you can also install traceroute on a good system and the bad system to see where they differ
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  you may want to put your scripts and configs on some pastebin, or drop.io site and see if others can replicate teh issue. Could be somthing really trival you are doing wrong,
[15:23] <Rob215> Here is the problem: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:23] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: yup.. came back.. will try tracerouting it
[15:24] <Slart> bullgard4: I don't know of any better descriptions.. pulseaudio is a layer above alsa.. pulseaudio doesn't handle the sound hardware itself.. think of it as a DJ.. where alsa is the turntable, mixer etc
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: you can also use an alternative keyserver like: pgp.mit.edu
[15:24] <Bohemian> Slart: thanks. last question: what arch do i pick for a pre 2002 computer? x86?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: they all sync with each other so its the same data
[15:24] <lstarnes> bullgard4: pulseaudio uses alsa for the actual sound output
[15:24] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: 32bit
[15:24] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: oh okay :)
[15:24] <lstarnes> Bohemian: 32-bit x86
[15:25] <Bohemian> and a 64bit machine uses what?
[15:25] <Slart> Bohemian: I think ubuntu only comes in 32bit and 64bit.. I'd go with 32bit
[15:25] <Bohemian> 64bit x86?
[15:25] <sunil> i'm unable to install ubuntu on my pc
[15:25] <Bohemian> i haven't looked, soryr. i'm using debian for most of my machines
[15:25] <blackshell> sunil;why?
[15:25] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: the 64bit ISOs, or the 32bit TOO (most 64bit CPUs can run a 32bit OS)
[15:25] <Slart> Bohemian: I'm not sure which arch it's compiled for.. i386 perhaps? i686?.. I'm not sure
[15:25] <lstarnes> Bohemian: 64-bit x86, amd64, or x86-64
[15:25] <Bohemian> great. so how do i kno which to pick lstarnes ?
[15:26] <lstarnes> Bohemian: it depends on what your processor supports
[15:26] <linuxghost> yes location
[15:26] <Rob215> Sorry but anyone wants to help me, http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:26] <adalal> ActionParsnip1: traceroute in both the bad and the good one stops at a canonical server
[15:26] <sunil> my pc in not supporting ubuntu to install
[15:26] <lstarnes> Bohemian: amd64, x86-64, and 64-bit x86 are all the same thing
[15:26] <grawity> 32-bit is the "i686" one, for 64-bit get "amd64" (even for Intel; it's an old name for x86-64)
[15:26] <linuxghost> ActionParsnip1: location
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  give the channel details about what it is and is not doing.
[15:26] <Bohemian> it just says intel pentium
[15:27] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1:  should i uncomment just the   socket options = TCP_NODELAY? or the previous line too? SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
[15:27] <andyl> hello
[15:27] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: sudo find / -iname "file"     replace file with what you want to find. E.g.     sudo find / -iname "firefox"
[15:27] <andyl> is there any problem in doing linux development in a linux virtual machine instead of on the bare system
[15:27] <lstarnes> Bohemian: pentium IV/pentium 4?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: locate will only work if you update the db first
[15:27] <Bohemian> i'm not sure, hwo do i check/
[15:27] <sunil> channel details???
[15:27] <Bohemian> it's windows currently
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  yes tell the Channel *us*  the details of the problem
[15:27] <carrera> Greetings!
[15:27] <Rob215> Sorry but anyone wants to help me please? Question at http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:28] <Slart> andyl: I think the virtual systems have some slightly special hardware
[15:28] <snake> okay I think i figured it out thanks though.
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> Rob215:  please at least summarize the core of the problem. People normally dont go to a URl just to read a problem
[15:28] <Soslas> ?
[15:28] <sunil> sorry i didn't get u???
[15:28] <evergren> ActionParsnip1 ,  unloaded hplip-3.9.12.run on the Writing desk
[15:28] <Slart> andyl: but for general stuff I don't think it will be a problem.. you might want to be prepared for a bit more diversity when it has to run on real systems
[15:28] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: you will be playing with that line til you get something nice, try both. You must run: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart     to reload the new settings
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  just state the actual problem in detail
[15:29] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: right click the my computer icon -> properties    it will tell you the cpu
[15:29] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 so uncomment both lines?
[15:29] <sunil> due to many 9.04 versons
[15:29] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: no, you want only one or none
[15:29] <sunil> my pc is unable to catch new installation
[15:29] <Bohemian> thank you ActionParsnip1
[15:29] <OpenSorce> This is truly irritating, I've disabled ipv6 (actually removed the module) but I still get serious browser lag. Like 12 seconds after entering an address before there is modem activity...
[15:29] <carrera> can anyone help me with installing 9.10 on a RAID-0 system. It does NOT boot!
[15:29] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: you can copy the buffer options to one single line to get both options enabled
[15:29] <Rob215> The problem is the Places/Nautilus problem and starting it doesn't work! Command line respond at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/
[15:29] <Bohemian> and ActionParsnip1 i am not sure why i said i was looking for the best app for windows before. i am extremely tired, i apologize
[15:30] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: what doesn't boot?
[15:30] <carrera> Hi ActionParsnip1, my installation
[15:30] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : there is also   include = /home/samba/etc/smb.conf. %m
[15:30] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: its cool, its a frequent question but it simply doesnt exist.
[15:30] <Soslas> what about that
[15:30] <Rob215> The problem is the Places/Nautilus problem and starting it doesn't work! Command line respond at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/ Anyone?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: so the install went ok but the installed system is bad?
[15:30] <carrera> I read there were problems with GRUB
[15:31] <carrera> right
[15:31] <Bohemian> ActionParsnip1: yeah, i meant the most common, not best, address book and mail client for LINUX. i'll go with thunderbird because she recognizes it from work. i didn't realize thunderbird had an address book as well
[15:31] <lstarnes> Rob215: considering how uncommon that problem is, it will likely take a while for any of us to find a possible solution
[15:31] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: no idea, i dont use raid, if I did I'd get a proper raid card
[15:31] <sunil> how to remove all ready existing 9.04 versions
[15:31] <Rob215> OK
[15:31] <lstarnes> sunil: remove or format any partitions that you installed 9.04 to
[15:32] <bullgard4> Slart, lstarnes: What you say seems to be described by the sentence: "PulseAudio is a sound server for POSIX and WIN32 systems." But I have read that ALSA has sound server functionality too. How to reconcile these 2 statements?
[15:32] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: most common doesnt mean anything either, most use windows but a lot of people think its garbage, instead of asking, try a few and see which you like
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  you can start the installer for the new versions and tell them to format/repartition/delete the old filesystems
[15:32] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : there is also   include = /home/samba/etc/smb.conf. %m
[15:32] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: where?
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  or use some partioning tool and delete them befor starting the installer.
[15:32] <Bohemian> ActionParsnip1: well, can you name a few for linux besides thunderbird?
[15:32] <lstarnes> bullgard4: alsa isn't a separate server
[15:32] <Soslas> in smb.conf
[15:32] <Soslas> should i do anything with that
[15:32] <Bohemian> i use all command line apps on my *nix boxes
[15:32] <Slart> bullgard4: that's true.. some of the features of alsa and pulseaudio overlaps..
[15:32] <lstarnes> bullgard4: it is a component of the linux kernel
[15:32] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: for windows?
[15:32] <lstarnes> bullgard4: pulseaudio, however, runs as a separate process
[15:32] <administrator> AAA
[15:32] <Guest32063> HELP
[15:33] <sunil> if i do so my xp os wil also gone na
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> Guest32063:  state the actual problem.
[15:33] <grawity> Guest32063: Welcome to #ubuntu. How may we helpyou?
[15:33] <Slart> bullgard4: pulseaudio can do network streaming, individual volume control amongst other things.. I don't think alsa does that
[15:33] <andyl> Slart:ok
[15:33] <lstarnes> bullgard4: it handles higher-level functionality, such as advanced mixing and networked sound
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  you need to be carefull what partitions you delete.. Unless you used a WUBI type install.
[15:33] <bullgard4> lstarnes, Slart Thank you very much for explaining.
[15:33] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: http://email.about.com/od/windowsemailclients/tp/free_email_prog.htm
[15:33] <Guest32063> HELLO
[15:33] <Slart> bullgard4: alsa has been around a lot longer than pulseaudio so people have added functionality to over over time
[15:33] <lstarnes> Guest32063: hi!
[15:33] <Bohemian> ActionParsnip1: for linux, not windows
[15:33] <ActionParsnip1> Guest32063: kill the caps
[15:33] <Guest32063> I AM CONG
[15:34] <ActionParsnip1> !mail | Bohemian
[15:34] <Guest32063> VIET NAM
[15:34] <lstarnes> Guest32063: stop using the caps please
[15:34] <ActionParsnip1> ok no good there
[15:34] <marcelo> hi fellows. Ive had tons of messages "could not read cd Sound juicer could not read track %whatever". I restart the computer and i have the messges displayed anyway. Anyone had a similar problem?
[15:34] <Guest32063> SPEED VIET NAM OK
[15:34] <sunil> can you expand still further
[15:34] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Linux_e-mail_clients
[15:34] <lstarnes> bullgard4: but for actually playing the sound on the system's sound hardware, it must interface with the operating system's sound drivers, like linux's ALSA
[15:34] <ActionParsnip1> Guest32063: do you have an Ubuntu question?
[15:35] <Guest32063> english
[15:35] <lstarnes> that is english
[15:35] <Guest32063> no english
[15:35] <Paddy_NI> What is the name of the splash screen straight after grub2 on karmic?
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  You should proberly go read up on how drive partitions are laid out and how to delete/change them. look for gparted tutorials, . Or  rerun the ubuntu installer and carefully tell it to delet  the linux partitions and not the windows ones.
[15:35] <ActionParsnip1> Paddy_NI: xsplash
[15:35] <Guest32063> viet nam mese
[15:35] <lstarnes> Paddy_NI: possibly usplash
[15:35] <lstarnes> !vietnam | Guest32063
[15:35] <Guest32063> ok
[15:35] <thiebaude> !vt
[15:35] <Paddy_NI> ActionParsnip1, no xsplash is the one after the first
[15:35] <Paddy_NI> lstarnes, hm probably usplash
[15:36] <Guest32063> i'm vietnam
[15:36] <Rob215> The problem is the Places/Nautilus problem and starting it doesn't work! Command line respond at: http://paste.ubuntu.com/347046/ Anyone? A thread on the Ubuntu forum is on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1359044
[15:36] <Guest32063> no understand
[15:36] <petsounds> !vn
[15:36] <om26er> ActionParsnip1, will lucid also use xsplash?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip1> Paddy_NI: soundslike usplash from what folks are saying, i always remove spash stuff, its worthless
[15:36] <ActionParsnip1> om26er: it does, but I removed it as always
[15:36] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, ok, here is the weird part. i logged out. the command in the start apps screen is this  /home/daniel/.conkylaunch   and both conky's start but when I was entering that same command in a terminal window, the calander would NOT start. WEIRD!
[15:36] <Dr_Willis> Rob215:  see if it works for a newly made user?
[15:36] <mazda01> grawity,  ok, here is the weird part. i logged out. the command in the start apps screen is this  /home/daniel/.conkylaunch   and both conky's start but when I was entering that same command in a terminal window, the calander would NOT start. WEIRD!
[15:36] <wolfieman> quit
[15:36] <lstarnes> Rob215: it appears to reference something about gconf
[15:36] <ActionParsnip1> om26er: runs nice here, I'd ask in +1 for definitive answer
[15:37] <lstarnes> Rob215: you might need to remove or rename your ~/.gconf temporarily
[15:37] <om26er> ActionParsnip1, ok
[15:37] <sunil> i did in that manner only but not supporting this option
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:   I keep my 'startup' scripts in /home/username/bin   with nice clear names. :)   it could be some path issue.
[15:37] <Rob215> Sorry, but i'm under Win 2000 now, but i'll reboot
[15:38] <Paddy_NI> lstarnes, nope it aint usplash as karmic does not use it
[15:38] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  the partioning part iof the installer has a custome option that lets you do most anything. it will let you delete your windows system if you are not carfull.  assign / to the location of the old install and tell it to reformat. is one way to do it
[15:38] <carrera> can anyone tell me why 9.10 doesn't boot on my RAID-0 system?
[15:38] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : the same thing. Worked for a while (i transfered data) then the connection was lost
[15:38] <lstarnes> Paddy_NI: what about xsplash?
[15:38] <Soslas> and didnt find workgroup
[15:38] <Rob215> So, FreeNode with topic ubuntu. Correct?
[15:38] <gillis-_> hmm hey guys... I'm trying to compile kaffeine from source (to get al older version than in the repo) however it says there are no kde libs
[15:38] <gillis-_> even though i think there is
[15:38] <gillis-_> ?here should i tell it htey are?
[15:39] <lstarnes> Rob215: #ubuntu on chat.freenode.net
[15:39] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, it can't be a path issue. i seems like it has something to do with dash not being able to run the command right.
[15:39] <mtd_1967> Good morning
[15:39] <gillis-_> where should i tell it they are
[15:39] <Rob215> OK, you said Rob215: you might need to remove or rename your ~/.gconf temporarily. Where is it?
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i dont even see how dash enters into it. Unless you are calling /bin/sh or  sh whatever.sh   explicity.
[15:39] <lstarnes> Rob215: ~/.gconf
[15:39] <Paddy_NI> lstarnes, its the splash screen with the white ubuntu logo
[15:39] <Paddy_NI> I installed xubuntu desktop and now I have a mouse or rat there instead :/
[15:39] <Slart> carrera: you might want to include a little more detail in your question.. error messages, pastebin logs, what you've installed and so on
[15:39] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: if you ping the client system from the server using the -f option does it timeout
[15:39] <lstarnes> Rob215: ~/ is automatically expanded to equal /home/USERNAME/
[15:40] <mtd_1967> Is anybody here familiar with video card issues that can assist me?
[15:40] <adalal> good afternoon to you!
[15:40] <ActionParsnip1> mtd_1967: what video card?
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> mtd_1967:  clarify the problem more...
[15:40] <ubuntunewbie> anyone know how what application I need to manage "SQlite" ?
[15:40] <Slart> mtd_1967: just describe your issue
[15:40] <Rob215> Disk/home/Username. Correct?
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> !sql
[15:40] <Slart> !info sqlite | ubuntunewbie
[15:40] <lstarnes> Rob215: just /home/username
[15:40] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 any ideas?
[15:40] <mtd_1967> I have 2 machines that I put ubuntu on as a second OS
[15:40] <Slart> ubuntunewbie: google does wonder for questions like that =)
[15:40] <Slart> *wonders
[15:40] <lstarnes> !info sqlite3 | ubuntunewbie
[15:40] <ubuntunewbie> Slart : thanks
[15:40] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: if you ping the client system from the server using the -f option does it timeout
[15:41] <sunil> i tried in that manner but it is prompting full disk
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> theres proberly 10+ programs to interface with sqlite. :)
[15:41] <ubuntunewbie> Slart : but I am not good in commandline
[15:41] <Rob215> Bye
[15:41] <swirv> join #xubuntu
[15:41] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, well, why does the command work  run from the "run prompt" when entered sh .conkylaunch but not merely .conkylaunch then?
[15:41] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: the sqlite and sqlite3 packages provide the default CLI interfaces for sqlite 2 and sqlite 3
[15:41] <mtd_1967> 1 has an ati radeon 9200, thats the desktop and the netbook has a radeon x1200
[15:41] <nod32> hi BillGates
[15:41] <ActionParsnip1> !ati | mtd_1967
[15:41] <adalal> hello
[15:41] <adalal> lol
[15:41] <ActionParsnip1> nod32: that nick isnt in here
[15:41] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  no idea. theres no point in using 'sh whtever' if the thing is executable.   could be bacuse the runprompt is allready using bash to laucnh the command in the first place
[15:42] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : i push data from ubuntu to windows. So what exactly do you want me to do
[15:42] <ai9371> can someone please help me with settin gup WEB SERvER!
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> sunil:  did you 'boot the cd' and install linux? or did you install linux from within windows?
[15:42] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, it can't be a path problem if both commands run fine seperately but when combined (copied and pasted) don't run from the run prompt when I use my bash script  #!/bin/bash
[15:42] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: ping from the server to the client system using -f option
[15:42] <AnAnt> hello, I installed a package (using apt-get install) but I want to mark that package as a package that was installed to satisfy dependency, can I do that ?
[15:42] <ai9371> phpmyadmin isnt working
[15:43] <ai9371> i set up apache
[15:43] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 the server is ubuntu in this case? and how do i ping it ( i am a noob)
[15:43] <sunil> i kept my cd in cd-reader & i restarted my pc
[15:43] <lstarnes> ai9371: how are you accessing it?
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  right now this has gone on for so long. i can barely rember what the original problem even is/was./
[15:43] <ai9371> localhost/phpmyadmin
[15:43] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: try sqlitebrowser
[15:43] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, well, the run prompt works when run "./.conkylaunch" and "sh .conkylaunch" but NOT when just run ".conkylaunch"
[15:43] <lstarnes> ai9371: with the / at the end?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: ping xphostname -f
[15:43] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: thanks
[15:43] <TriMe__> ai9371, did u restart apache?
[15:43] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, getting to conky's to run from a bash script
[15:43] <ai9371> i put a / at the end that idnt work
[15:43] <ai9371> restart apache how do I do that?
[15:44] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: actually I wanted to backup cookies from firefox , and the cookies is in .sqlite format .
[15:44] <ActionParsnip1> AnAnt: whether the package was installed to satisfy a dep or not is not important
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  try copying the things to  bin/conkylaunch   and get away from the .XXX type name. to eliminate any possible issues
[15:44] <mtd_1967> ubottu, thank you.  i will boot up the netbook and walk through the steps now...are these written for idiots?  I hope so.
[15:44] <TriMe> sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[15:44] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: I wanted to retain username and password stored at the cookies on firefox and transfer it to other pc
[15:44] <lstarnes> ai9371: sudo service apache2 restart (or sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart)
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i cant replicate the problem. so its hard to trouble shoot.
[15:44] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: you could just copy the .sqlite file
[15:45] <w1cked> are there Intel GMA 500 drivers already released for Ubuntu?
[15:45] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, i'll upload all files if you'd like to try to replicate. OR NOT?
[15:45] <nastas> hi all
[15:46] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: doesn't work , I just tried copying the .sqlite from firefox to other pc firefox.It doesn't keep the username password login forum
[15:46] <TriMe> ai9371, sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[15:46] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  you may want to puit them somwheere. then post a msg on the conky forums.
[15:46] <TriMe> ai9371, then browse to http://localhost/phphmyadmin
[15:46] <lstarnes> ubuntunewbie: which versions of firefox are you using?
[15:46] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 i did it with sudo. and it runs
[15:46] <sunil> how to open files with ".chm" extension
[15:46] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: found this: http://linuxoutlaws.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2339
[15:47] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: no need to sudo for ping
[15:47] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, .conkylaunch=http://pastebin.com/f25deae1b
[15:47] <mazda01>   .conky_calander=http://pastebin.com/f24e7596  calander.sh=http://pastebin.com/f5a0f5695  .conkyrc=http://pastebin.com/feb96065
[15:47] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 without sudo ping <IP_ADDRESS> -f , said ping: cannot flood
[15:47] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  my simple calander config works fine.  as does my simple startconky.sh script.   when in doubt try rebuilding the whole thing from a clean slate and add one bit back at a time till you figure out what you are doing differentluy
[15:48] <ellovess> hello
[15:48] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: bah
[15:48] <ellovess> alguien de habla hispana
[15:48] <ellovess> ????
[15:48] <lstarnes> !es | ellovess
[15:48] <TriMe> Soslas, same with Traceroutes and scanning for TCP or UDP packets u need root access for that
[15:48] <w1cked> ActionParsnip: I tried those ones but it doesnt help. thanks anyway.
[15:48] <ellovess> ubottu gracias
[15:48] <ubuntunewbie> lstarnes: 3.5.6
[15:48] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: you will need to find alternatives for those socket options to see what will make it nice for you and test each time, I use zero extra options and its ok
[15:49] <sunil> may i know how to open files with extension ".chm"
[15:49] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : without sudo says, cannot flood,minimal interlval, allowed for user, is 200ms
[15:49] <TriMe> yeah correct.
[15:49] <TriMe> its so standard users dont crash or harm anything
[15:49] <obaid> chmsee
[15:49] <unop> sunil, gnochm, xchm, etc
[15:50] <ai9371> ok still not working
 srill now working!
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: could try: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192   in smb.conf
[15:50] <sunil> gnochm, xchm???
[15:50] <TriMe> Yeah?
[15:50] <sunil> how to do that
[15:50] <obaid> sunil, sudo apt-get install chmsee
[15:50] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, i don;t believe it has anything to do with scripts. it has to do with possible the name or the location of the script. because now that I  put the .conkylaunch in /usr/local/bin (which is in my path) and renamed it to conkylaunch when I run that from the run prompt it WORKS!!!!
[15:50] <ai9371> do I have to start phpMyadmin
[15:50] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: or: socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
[15:50] <obaid> or other ones
[15:50] <nihatkaratasli> I am trying to append the fields that I cut from 4 files to one text document in order to create a simple bash program. I tried to use pipes with the paste command but it doesnt work. would anyone help me on that?
[15:51] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: stuff like that, there are lots of options, you will just need to play
[15:51] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : i tried those buffers, and in the next line tcp no delay
[15:51] <Bohemian> can someone tell me if the alternate installer has a way of encrypting the fs or not?
[15:51] <TriMe> ai9371, Try this bud see how u go if u get stuck msg me kk
[15:51] <TriMe> ai9371, Try this bud see how u go if u get stuck msg me kk :: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114129
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  this is why i was saying keep things in /whatever/bin dont litter .whtever files all over the place. :)
[15:51] <lstarnes> Bohemian: it can at least do the home directory
[15:52] <Bohemian> lstarnes: in the alternate cd or can i do it with the regular installer
[15:52] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i have about a dozen conky related 'scripts' in my /home/willis/bin dir
[15:52] <lstarnes> Bohemian: alternate
[15:52] <Bohemian> and does wubi allow you to delete the windows partition?
[15:52] <Bohemian> okay
[15:52] <lstarnes> Bohemian: no
[15:52] <lstarnes> Bohemian: wubi uses the windows partition
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: it doesnt delete anything, it installs to a file in your windows file system
[15:52] <lstarnes> Bohemian: encrypting the root partition is rather complex and may require using a separate unencrypted /boot partition
[15:52] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, ok, that issue solved but not really understand why it works from /usr/local/bin and not from my ~/ directory. next issue. do you know what option in conky config adds that line after the word "Calander"?  http://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotuf.png
[15:52] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: due to ntfs getting very fragmented, this affects the speed of wubi
[15:53] <Bohemian> is there a good website which lists games that are available on linux?
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> !games | Bohemian
[15:53] <Bohemian> lstarnes: i've always been able to do it on freebsd, and when i was using gentoo/selinux, it was possible
[15:53] <sunil> i got   E: Couldn't find package chmsee
[15:53] <sunil> after i have run 	 	 	 	   sudo apt-get install chmsee
[15:53] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, so it must be because the command wasn't located in my $PATH that it wasn't working? WHO KNOWS but you're right, that went on for way to long!
[15:53] <Soslas> ActionParsnip1 : someone told me he had the similar problem and got solved by disable QoS in windows
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: there are more than that but thats a good list to go at (penumbra is one of my favourites as is urban terror)
[15:53] <Helsinkiii> hi
[15:53] <donvito-> how to install tcl od ubuntu
[15:53] <ActionParsnip1> Soslas: i dont know about that, i dont use windows
[15:53] <lstarnes> sunil: what bout xchm or gnochm?
[15:54] <lstarnes> donvito-: sudo apt-get install tcl
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  at the end of your calander config its calling  ~/calander.sh  - i do NOT think ~/ works inside conky scripts.
[15:54] <Helsinkiii> can someone point me to a clear, step by step tutorial on how to password protect 1 folder?
[15:54] <sunil> can you expand still further
[15:54] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: which release too
[15:54] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  if nothing else.. its bad practice to do it that way.   Put the script in some location in your path.
[15:54] <Slart> Helsinkiii: I'm not sure you can do that
[15:54] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, but it works from /usr/local/bin
[15:54] <TriMe> Helsinkiii, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=37678
[15:54] <donvito-> E: coldnt find tcl
[15:54] <lstarnes> sunil: try installing the packages for gnochm or xchm
[15:55] <Slart> Helsinkiii: you could of course use something like truecrypt
[15:55] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  because thats in your path
[15:55] <ActionParsnip1> !find tcl
[15:55] <ActionParsnip1> !info tcl
[15:55] <lstarnes> donvito-: do you have the universe repository enabled?
[15:55] <donvito-> no
[15:55] <donvito-> how do i need to
[15:55] <Helsinkiii> TriMe: apparently there is a way to chmod to 000 r something to require root access
[15:55] <lstarnes> donvito-: enable it
[15:55] <donvito-> how ? im newbie
[15:55] <sunil> how to install packages for gnochm or xchm???
[15:55] <lstarnes> donvito-: you can do that through system > administration > software sources
[15:55] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: what is the output of: lsb_release -c
[15:55] <lstarnes> sunil: do you know how to install packages?
[15:56] <TriMe> Helsinkiii, 000 will allow no one to have access even root.
[15:56] <ActionParsnip1> sunil: sudo apt-get install gnochm
[15:56] <TriMe> Helsinkiii, i would do 644
[15:56] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, ok, that issue solved but not really understand why it works from /usr/local/bin and not from my ~/ directory. next issue. do you know what option in conky config adds that line after the word "Calander"?  http://img63.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotuf.png
[15:56] <sunil>  sudo apt-get install gnochm is not working
[15:57] <lstarnes> sunil: what error do you get?
[15:57] <snake> Can i Chonge my user name on ubuntu?
[15:57] <snake> er, change

[15:57] <sunil> E: Package gnochm has no installation candidate
[15:57] <lstarnes> sunil: what about xchm?
[15:57] <ActionParsnip1> sunil: click on software sources and enable the universe repo
[15:57] <qt-x> witch is the best linux distribution for runing lamp ?
[15:58] <Slart> snake: I think the easiest way is to just create a new user and migrate all your stuff to that
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> qt-x: none are best
[15:58] <snake> Slart: thanks
[15:58] <lstarnes> qt-x: most linux distributions can run the applications in lamp
[15:58] <sunil> how to enable universe repo??
[15:58] <Slart> snake: you can probably do it but you'll be changing it in a lot of places..
[15:58] <lstarnes> qt-x: ubuntu's server edition includes them
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> qt-x: they are all equal as they can all run lamp equally
[15:58] <ActionParsnip1> sunil: in software sources, like I told you
[15:59] <ActionParsnip1> sunil: system -> administration -> software sources
[15:59] <snake> Slart you mean i'll have to edit like 20 config files?
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  simple   /usr/whatever/bin IS in your path.. it scans the path
[15:59] <qt-x> what version of ubuntu  server is recomended ? for beginers ?
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  ~/ is not
[15:59] <ActionParsnip1> qt-x: ubuntu desktop
[15:59] <rsk> qt-x, always the latest
[15:59] <Slart> snake: something like that.. yes..
[16:00] <donvito-> i still dont get it
[16:00] <donvito-> let me know how to install tcl
[16:00] <lstarnes> qt-x: 8.04 (the LTS version) or 9.10 (the most recent version)
[16:00] <donvito-> on my ubuntu please
[16:00] <snake> Slart: okay i will make a new user
[16:00] <lstarnes> donvito-: we told you
[16:00] <Rob215_> Hi. Is this #ubuntu on chat.freenode.net
[16:00] <rsk> Yes.
[16:00] <lstarnes> Rob215_: yes
[16:00] <Rob215_> Under Ubuntu now
[16:00] <lstarnes> donvito-: sudo apt-get install tcl tcl-dev
[16:00] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, so by running a command from the run prompt with sh or ./ will search my home directory but without it won't? i know this is confussing but it still doesn't make sence
[16:00] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: ok click Applications -> accessories -> terminal
[16:00] <lstarnes> donvito-: after enabling the universe repository
[16:01] <nastas> Rob215_: welcome onboard
[16:01] <petsounds> Rob215_, welcome :-)
[16:01] <donvito-> im 7.04
[16:01] <donvito-> ActionParsnip1 then
[16:01] <lstarnes> donvito-: 7.04 is no longer supported
[16:01] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: its not supported anymore
[16:01] <lstarnes> donvito-: you should seriously consider upgrading
[16:01] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: your release isnt supported no more, gutsy is unfortunately dead
[16:01] <sunil> how to enable universe repo
[16:01] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: even though gutsy was awesoke
[16:01] <donvito-> ok but i can use it for tcl
[16:02] <lstarnes> sunil: what have we told you so far?
[16:02] <om26er> !torrents | donvito-
[16:02] <lstarnes> donvito-: if you can still find packages for it, yes
[16:02] <w1cked> hey guys, what IRC client is the best?
[16:02] <Rob215_> No! I'm same user from Win 2000 "~/ is automatically expanded to equal /home/USERNAME/" Istarnes! Can't find it!
[16:02] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: there is no best irc client
[16:02] <lstarnes> donvito-: but you really shouldn't be using an unspported version
[16:02] <maco> !best | w1cked
[16:02] <ActionParsnip1> sunil: i told you twice now. its system -> administration -> software sources
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  sh ./whatver.sh is a full path to the script
[16:02] <lstarnes> Rob215_: can't find what?
[16:02] <Rob215_> ~/.gconf
[16:02] <lstarnes> sunil: this is the last time I will tell you:
[16:02] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:   if its executable and in the path. you could run whaever.sh from anywhere
[16:02] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: there is no best app for any situation, there are multiple apps as they all excell in one way or another
[16:03] <lstarnes> sunil: step 1: open system > administration > software sources
[16:03] <lstarnes> sunil: step 2: select the ubuntu software tab
[16:03] <anteaya> if dpkg doesn't know about a package but the package is located on the server verified by using 'find <pkg>' can I safely conclude that the pkg was installed from source?
[16:03] <nastas> Rob215_: did you try to ctrl+H in home dir?
[16:03] <lstarnes> sunil: step 3: check "community supported open source software (universe)" and check it
[16:03] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: you are using an OS where choice is rife and there is more than one app for a solution but you still come here to ask strangers what you should think
[16:03] <lstarnes> sunil: step 4: close
[16:03] <Rob215_> OK, I'll try
[16:03] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: try a few, see which you prefer , that one is best
[16:03] <lstarnes> anteaya: not necessarily
[16:03] <nastas> Rob215_: .gconf is hidden
[16:04] <anteaya> lstarnes, thanks, what am I missing?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: here are some options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat#IRC Clients
[16:04] <w1cked> ActionParsnip1: I tried Pidgin, X-Chat, kVirc and didnt like no one of them!
[16:04] <FANDER1> guys, my ISP uses a proxy for the internet, how can I set the proxy to work with all the applications?
[16:04] <lstarnes> anteaya: it depends on what you are trying to do?
[16:04] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, running a command with . i thought just means current dir, how does the run prompt know to look in my home directory by merely using ./conkylaunch. ANYWAY, moving on. I tried out your calander script but it doesn't show the current date
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> w1cked:  write your own then..
[16:04] <FANDER1> setting the proxy from System>Preference>Network proxy doesn't work!
[16:04] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: well what if someone said "Pidgin is THE best client" would yu still use it?
[16:04] <OpenSorce> w1cked, try Quassel
[16:04] <anteaya> lstarnes, upgrade apache on a very old server kernel
[16:04] <lstarnes> w1cked: did you try regular xchat, or was it xchat-gnome?
[16:05] <nastas> Rob215_: found it?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: even though you evaluated it as poor
[16:05] <Dr_Willis>  mazda01  ./whatever if you are in /home/bubba    is the same as /home/bubba/whatever
[16:05] <mezquitale> w1cked, did you try xchat-gnome or the real xchat?
[16:05] <Rob215_> no
[16:05] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, like mine does. how do we get rid of those lines around the Date that make the calander move over more to the left.
[16:05] <FANDER1> I want to set the proxy "once"
[16:05] <lstarnes> anteaya: check the version of apache that you have and compare it to the version in aptitiude
[16:05] <w1cked> its XChat 2.8.6
[16:05] <donvito-> if i want to connect to my ubuntu through ssh
[16:05] <donvito-> what i need to install?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: do you see what I mean now??
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  the run prompt is allready in  the home dir..  if  your script was in /home/bubbas/stuff  and you tryed ./whatever  then it wouldent work
[16:05] <lstarnes> donvito-: openssh-server
[16:05] <w1cked> OpenSorce thanks, gonna try it
[16:05] <xtjacob> hello everyone! i just installed windows as a dual boot, and after i reinstalled grub windows is not on the list. how do i add it to the list?
[16:05] <OpenSorce> or does Quassel ship with the old gnome *buntu variant?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: openssh-server
[16:05] <donvito-> ok
[16:06] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, but I am saying envoking the run prompt with merely alt-f2, your saying that it just knows what directory i am in? i could hit alt-f2 when in firefox, how does it know to use my home directory. is it because I am logged in?
[16:06] <lstarnes> donvito-: be warned that the version of openssh that your version of ubuntu has may be extremely outdated, insecure, or incompatible with newer versions
[16:06] <anteaya> lstarnes, not sure how to do that, I will try to figure that out, I get nothing when I input apache -v so I have to figure out how to get the version info first
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  i normally know the current date.. and mine is a 1 line command in the  conkyrc.. i dont need the current date. :)
[16:06] <freeride> hello all. does anybody know how to use remind: rem sun at 14:00 ... something like this?
[16:06] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, oh, sorry. was writing and didn't look up before posting that
[16:06] <Return> i'm on xchat ubuntu
[16:06] <lstarnes> anteaya: what about apache2 -v?
[16:06] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, do you know how to get rid of those lines though?
[16:06] <Return> what i have to do to go on irc.peiknet.org plz ?
[16:06] <lstarnes> anteaya: also, aptitude show apache2 | grep Version
[16:06] <ActionParsnip1> i use pidgin w1cked. I think its fine
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  which lines?
[16:07] <lstarnes> Return: /newserver irc.peiknet.org
[16:07] <Return> ty
[16:07] <Rob215_> USERNAME dir. i'm in it! Ctrl + H makes more files seeable. No gconf. Even when searching
[16:07] <ActionParsnip1> !info remind
[16:07] <lstarnes> Rob215_: or .gconf?
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  if you mean the red line above your calander. its from the <HR> entries in your conky config
[16:07] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, the lines above and below the current date "Saturday, December,26" oh dah, there is the current date. it's just not highlighted in color within the calander
[16:07] <freeride> ActionParsnip1 thanks, it helped me alot ;)
[16:07] <mezquitale>  Return you need to find out on what server peiknet is using, youre on freenode right now
[16:07] <Rob215_> no! but what about copying from root?
[16:08] <legend2440> Rob215_: .gconf is a folder
[16:08] <ardian> Hi how can i connect toa friends PC he is using ubuntu is there any good  VNC client
[16:08] <lstarnes> Rob215_: you shouldn't need to copy from root
[16:08] <ActionParsnip1> !vnc | ardian
[16:08] <Rob215_> oh.
[16:08] <ardian> thanks ActionParsnip1
[16:08] <Rob215_> yes foun
[16:08] <Rob215_> yees found it!
[16:08] <ActionParsnip1> ardian: make sure you use the ssh tunnel
[16:08] <ardian> I'm using hamachi
[16:08] <Rob215_> what next?
[16:08] <freeride> ActionParsnip1 can u show me some examples of using remind, pastebin?
[16:08] <ardian> just need the software
[16:09] <freeride> ActionParsnip1 thanks in advance
[16:09] <anteaya> lstarnes, thanks the second command worked
[16:09] <lstarnes> Rob215_: remove the .gconf in your home directory or rename it
[16:09] <ActionParsnip1> freeride: i didnt even know it existed til it was mentioned. Could use the at command
[16:09] <ActionParsnip1> freeride: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3529
[16:09] <Rob215> next
[16:09] <freeride> ActionParsnip1 ok, never mind, thanks

[16:10] <EsatYuce> i downloaded Bazar Explorer application. How can i run it??
[16:10] <Rob215> Thanks!!!!!!!
[16:10] <lstarnes> Return: that's a client setting
[16:10] <Return> wher
[16:10] <Return> i don't find
[16:10] <lstarnes> Return: xchat > network list
[16:10] <freeride> ActionParsnip1 very useful, thanks
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> mazda01:  as for moveing the things around.  check the conky config in the max width and offset options
[16:11] <Rob215> One problem solved. Another went in!
[16:11] <mezquitale> EsatYuce, there should be an icon for it on your menu, look under "Internet" or "accesories", you can also start it manually using a terminal
[16:11] <Rob215> Right-click on the desktop doesn't work
[16:11] <aguitel> i want to make a network with 2 pc connected to router ,how i do that ?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip1> EsatYuce: press F@ and type  baz   then wait to see if its completed for you
[16:11] <Return> there isn't the menu xchat..
[16:11] <Return> in preference
[16:11] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: press alt+f2   type nautilus    press enter
[16:12] <anteaya> lstarnes, am I able to infer anything about how apache2 was installed by the fact that -v doesn't give me output but that aptitude show apache2 | grep Version does?
[16:12] <Bohemian> how do i download openoffice, firefox, thunderbird, etc, so i can instlal the items via cd rather than the network?
[16:12] <lstarnes> Return: are you using xchat, or are you using xchat-gnome?
[16:12] <PrototypeX29A> is there a program like mpg321 which allows to play mp3s in a directory, but with more interaction. Like a possibility to pause?
[16:12] <Return> xchat gnome
[16:12] <lstarnes> anteaya: not really
[16:12] <om26er> !ayatana
[16:12] <lstarnes> Return: try using the regular version of xchat
[16:12] <anteaya> lstarnes, okay well thanks for your guidance
[16:12] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: you can use aptoncd   to save the debs from one Ubuntu system to another
[16:12] <mezquitale> aguitel, if the 2 machiens are connected with a router you already have a network?  What is it you want to accomplish?  You can play network games with each other, share files, log in to each other's machine, etc.
[16:12] <Rob215> yeah! wallpaper changed but it worked! Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[16:13] <lstarnes> Rob215: you're welcome
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: quite ironic how you want to use an offline install for an email client thouh. Although it reduces bandwidth used
[16:13] <f1assistance1> Isn’t it curious there are usually over 1200 users in the buntu channel (1 flavor) and around 300 in the Windows, yet Windows has 90% of the market and Linux 1% globally…wouldn’t you think this backwards if Windows sucks so bad?
[16:13] <lstarnes> Rob215: btw, I think your ! key might be feeling a bit sore
[16:13] <Bohemian> ActionParsnip1: what is aptoncd?
[16:13] <Rob215> lol
[16:13] <aguitel> mezquitale, i want to share files ,the 2 pc have same ip
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: the menu you see and the desktop icons are drawn by nautilus, it just wasnt running
[16:13] <qt-x> aguitel read router manual should help
[16:13] <ActionParsnip1> !aptoncd | Bohemian
 where will i press F@ and will type baz?
[16:13] <Rob215> I know
[16:13] <sixtila> problem installing fglrx graphics driver - SystemError: E:Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
[16:14] <ActionParsnip1> EsatYuce: on the desktop
[16:14] <mezquitale> aguitel, install an ssh server, that's is the best and easiest, the two machines should not have the same IP, they both have ubuntu?
[16:14] <qt-x> local they do not
[16:14] <ActionParsnip1> EsatYuce: its a universally accessible shortcut
[16:14] <qt-x>  aguitel the 2 pc have diferent ip
[16:14] <sixtila> cant install flash plugin as well - Package dependencies cannot be resolved
[16:14] <hamzaatova2> how can i install ubuntu with wireless keyboard if it doesnt work??????????????????
[16:15] <aguitel> mezquitale, qt-x the 2 pcs have internet with the router
[16:15] <Bohemian> so i need a ubuntu machine already?
[16:15] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: can you use http://pastebin.com   to give the output of: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf
 can you explain more about this shourcut?
[16:15] <ActionParsnip1> Bohemian: or you can download the debs from http://packages.ubuntu.com
[16:15] <BinaryMan> !info wminput
[16:16] <aguitel> mezquitale, qt-x  both pcs have ubuntu
[16:16] <mezquitale> aguitel,  and both machines have ubuntu?
[16:16] <BinaryMan> !info lswm > BinaryMan
[16:16] <ActionParsnip1> EsatYuce: you press the shortcut and you can launch the apps in your menu as well as the commands in $PATH
[16:16] <uberspaced> for wireless stuff, I have read: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/WG111T
[16:16] <Rob215> But. ALT+F2 doesn't work AND typing into a terminal works but closing it (the terminal) quits the nautilus!

[16:17] <sixtila> Actionparsnip1 first one here http://pastebin.ca/1727582
[16:17] <qt-x> aguitel if that is the case ther is already a network :D
[16:17] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: do it all as one command
[16:17] <qt-x> of bouth
[16:17] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: makes life easier
[16:18] <aguitel> qt-x, how i see that
[16:18] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, it's getting pushed over to the left of the screen, how do I make it so it's closer to the right edge. i already have x offset set to 10 only
[16:18] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: its all one command as I  used ; in between so the commands will run one after another rather than you manually running them
[16:18] <sixtila> ActionParsnip1 upgrade gives 0, all others dont have output
[16:18] <sixtila> gotcha
[16:18] <ActionParsnip1> uberspaced: sudo apt-get install ndisgtk   then use the windows .inf and .sys file from the driver files online
[16:18] <Rob215> IBut. ALT+F2 doesn't work AND typing into a terminal works but closing it (the terminal) quits the nautilus! It's a wireless keyboard so it "says undo not F2" to the PC so, stated ALT + F2 doesn't work
[16:18] <mazda01> Dr_Willis, heres a pic: http://img682.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1xh.png
[16:18] <legend2440> Rob215: in terminal try   nautilus &  then you should be able to close terminal  by typing  exit and nautilus should stay open
[16:18] <ActionParsnip1> sixtila: run the whole command and copy it all to one pastebin
[16:18] <uberspaced> ActionParsnip1, okie dokie...
[16:19] <mezquitale> aguitel, send me a PM
[16:19] <lstarnes> Rob215: or nautilus & disown

[16:19] <aguitel> mezquitale, what is PM ?
[16:19] <w1cked> ActionParsnip1: okay, Pidgin is my choise :)
[16:19] <mezquitale> aguitel, PM = private message

[16:32] <lstarnes> Rob215: use ps ax | grep nautilus, find the PID of nautilus run by root, then use sudo kill PID
[16:32] <legend2440> ubuntunewbie: your right Weather Report doesnt list your city
[16:32] <eefer> hi
[16:32] <w1cked> anyone know how to turn off those "Joining" and "Leaving" messages in the main chat window in Pidgin?? they really sucks!
[16:32] <lstarnes> Rob215: replace ax with aux
[16:32] <lstarnes> Rob215: the PID is the number after the username
[16:32] <nastas> carrera: did you try to reinstall grub?
[16:32] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: ok then boot to liveCD and check fstab file on your installed system as well a sthe grub config, make sure it all matches up nice
[16:32] <ubuntunewbie> legend2440: it doesn't list the city
[16:33] <Rob215> ok
[16:33] <raj> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[16:33] <raj> gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:33] <ActionParsnip1> w1cked: its a plugin in pidgin
[16:33] <legend2440> ubuntunewbie: yes i know
[16:33] <raj> this command is not working for me
[16:33] <raj> need advice
[16:33] <raj> guys

[16:33] <riddlebox> can someone tell me which is the easiest way to create a windows share?
[16:34] <ActionParsnip1> !samba | riddlebox
[16:34] <ActionParsnip1> raj: if its a clean install of karmic it will not have the file to start with, if you make one it will be used
[16:34] <carrera> nastas, No, but I'm reading about reinstalling GRUB at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351 and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[16:34] <legend2440> ubuntunewbie: right click top panel choose Add to panel  choose Weather Report  but it doesn't list your city so not much good to you
[16:35] <raj> ok
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  I install samba,  edit the smb.conf to enable home share  and set the proper workgroup..  give teh linux user a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a username'  - restart samba. and then the users whole 'home' is shared. :)
[16:35] <raj> thanks
[16:35] <nastas> carrera: you installed windows over ubuntu?
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  theres other ways to get some shares goind also.
[16:35] <carrera> ActionParsnip1, will do!
[16:35] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: could always reinstall grub
[16:35] <ActionParsnip1> !grub2 | carrera
[16:35] <ActionParsnip1> carrera: will help
[16:36] <ubuntunewbie> legend2440: so what does a clear weather from screenlets update city report ?
[16:36] <linuxghost> ActionParsnip1: but ive not the kernel referred to be patched
[16:36] <linuxghost> ive the updated kernel 2.6.31
[16:36] <linuxghost> patch < /home/ghost/ar5523/debian/patches/kcompat-2.6.26.patch
[16:36] <riddlebox> Dr_Willis, ok, I will look at it, I got a blue ray player for xmas and it plays from windows shares
[16:37] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: the patch method is still the same
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  thats.. nifty. :) wife got a portable dvd that can play mp4/divx/other videos from sd/usb/dvd data disks. )
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  you may want to make a specific 'video' share then to keep all your videos in
[16:38] <riddlebox> Dr_Willis, thats what I was thinking, I have never really needed to work with samba till now, but I figured that was the way to go
[16:38] <Rob215> Ok, done correctly now! But one question will it startup with Ubuntu 9.10 kernel <IP_ADDRESS>?
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  proberly the ionly want to go. unless the player supports upnp browsing of upnp servers
[16:39] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  last i checked blueray players they dident have that feature..  that was exactly what the wife was wanting to do about 9 mo ago.
[16:39] <lstarnes> Rob215: it should regardless of the kernel version
[16:39] <riddlebox> Dr_Willis, yeah it hasnt mentioned that
[16:39] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: sure as long as its in your grub config
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> riddlebox:  this just reminded me.. wife got me a little portable video plauyer also. :)  time to check it out
[16:40] <Rob215> How do I know
[16:40] <donvito-> can i get a soruce for openssh-server
[16:40] <ActionParsnip1> !repo | donvito-
[16:40] <macman_> hi all .. does ubuntu always have issues with finding dependancies or anything ?
[16:40] <lstarnes> donvito-: it should be in the repositories for your version of ubuntu
[16:41] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources
[16:41] <lstarnes> donvito-: you might need to use old-releases.ubuntu.com if you're using an old, unsupported version
[16:41] <toufik> hey
[16:41] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: it doesnt always, but can
[16:41] <ubuntunewbie> legend2440: which weather report data website does it taken from ?
[16:41] <nastas> macman_: not allways
[16:41] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  err.. thats a little vague. :) the apt packaging system is very good at installing/remioving and keeping track of dependencies
[16:41] <ubuntunewbie> legend2440: which does it refer to ?
[16:42] <toufik> plz i've a probleme with my camlife
[16:42] <progre55> hi people! I have a weird problem with my internet connection.. I guess it has to do with DNS. when I open a page on a browser, it waits for about 1-2 mins before it can resolve the IP of the domain. and moreover, when I ping directly an IP address, it pings right-away, but when I ping a domain name, it waits for a long time before it actually starts pinging. Any suggestions, please?
[16:42] <nastas> macman_: what kind of issue do you have?
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> Package magement is a amazing topic with so many pitfalls and potential issues..
[16:42] <progre55> or should I better call my ISP? :)
[16:42] <lstarnes> progre55: you could try an alternative dns server
[16:42] <stevemc> Iḿ running Ubuntu 9.10 and using auto login for my wife with a 30 second delay, But my problem is it won give me a means of logining in for me in that 30 seconds delay. I click all over the gdm screen but no means of entering my users name.
[16:42] <macman_> Dr_Willis: ok yea i tried 8.10 and liked it .. i just would like a quick answer .. i would like to keep the system up todate all the time .. what commands do i run to  keep my system up todate all the time ?
[16:42] <lstarnes> progre55: I usually use <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>, which are OpenDNS's nameservers
[16:42] <Darkchylde> progre55: are you on karnic?
[16:42] <progre55> lstarnes: how, where can I set it?
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> progre55:  also sounds like a ipv6 'issue'  - but i thought most of those got fixed
[16:42] <macman_> im downloading the 9.10 iso
[16:42] <lubosz> hi
[16:43] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: its one of the weaknesses in package based distros
[16:43] <lstarnes> progre55: /etc/resolv.conf
[16:43] <progre55> Darkchylde: yep
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  the package manager tools can do that.
[16:43] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: make sure you MD5 test it before burning ;)
[16:43] <lubosz> i have a black screen at tty1 with a 230M, current stable nvidia driver. how do i fix that?
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  i update/upgrade about once a week.
[16:43] <linuxghost> but ive followed those thread with no result https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper)
[16:43] <macman_> oh ok
[16:43] <linuxghost> ubuntu crashes my head
[16:43] <progre55> Dr_Willis: any workarounds other than setting another DNS?
[16:43] <Darkchylde> progre55: i had the same problem - open /etc/resolv.conf and invert the order of DNS addresses.
[16:43] <Rob215> Istarnes and ActionParsnip1. Last problem, I can't seem to upgrade to kernel <IP_ADDRESS> from update manager
[16:43] <progre55> lstarnes: thanks man
[16:43] <lubosz> i had to extract a custom EDID from windows to use in xorg.conf to make my monitor work with the xserver
[16:43] <ActionParsnip1> !info linux-image
[16:43] <Dr_Willis> !ipv6
[16:44] <progre55> Darkchylde: thanks, I'll try that now
[16:44] <ActionParsnip1> Rob215: its not in the repo
[16:44] <lstarnes> Rob215: the versions in the update manager are slightly different than what the linux kernel's developers make
[16:44] <raj> i need to configure 1024x768 resolution
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> progre55:  check that ipv6 site for trouble shooting info. try the opendns servers, and googles own servers.  <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>. (i think)
[16:44] <raj> how can i do it guys
[16:44] <anteaya> lstarnes, I believe I have answered my earlier question, apache2 installs via source only, no packages available, thanks for your help
[16:45] <carrera> nastas, no sir. I know to install Windowz first on a dual boot system. I was going to use VirtualBox on this system. I've 4 Gigs of Corsair RAM
[16:45] <lstarnes> anteaya: that's not true
[16:45] <macman_> don't i normally use apt not dpkg ?
[16:45] <anteaya> lstarnes, oh?
[16:45] <lstarnes> anteaya: apache2 has packages in ubuntu's repos
[16:45] <ActionParsnip1> raj: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[16:45] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: you can use both
[16:45] <macman_> witch is more prefered ?
[16:45] <nastas> carrera: did you try to fix grub?
[16:45] <lubosz> ray: you can do that in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file or in the gnome settings or your proprietary drivers settings.
[16:45] <progre55> these are the addresses in my /etc/resolv.conf at the moment: domain cust.bredband2.com   search cust.bredband2.com   nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>   nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:45] <ubuntunewbie> Anyone know which weather report data website ubuntu does it taken from ?
[16:45] <guntbert> !latest | Rob215 why do you need <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:46] <lubosz> raj: you can do that in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file or in the gnome settings or your proprietary drivers settings.
[16:46] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: both, dpkg won't use the repos like dpkg does, dpkg is used to install user downloaded deb files
[16:46] <progre55> which one of them would I need to change?
[16:46] <macman_> oh ok dpkg is for standalone .deb files ?
[16:46] <anteaya> lstarnes, hmmm, none available on the download page: http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi and thanks for the additional information
[16:46] <lstarnes> progre55: before the other two nameserver entries, add nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> and nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:46] <linuxghost> does someone use  atheros chipset USB WIFI here?
[16:46] <lstarnes> anteaya: sudo apt-get install apache2
[16:46] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: yep, apt-get and aptitude will use the repos and satisfy deps
[16:46] <xlauwon> ..
[16:46] <progre55> lstarnes: cool, thanks
[16:46] <macman_> what is diff from apt-get and aptititude ?
[16:47] <snake> adding to $PATH: how do add a directory to the end of $PATH ?
[16:47] <raj> lubosz:how can i do in proprietary driver settings
[16:47] <lstarnes> macman_: aptitude also has a menu-based terminal user interface whe started with no options
[16:47] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: theres some but ultimately they achieve the same end, they can be used interchangably
[16:47] <lstarnes> macman_: it also has some slightly different functions and has better conflict handling
[16:47] <lubosz> raj: on nvidia it's nvidia-settings, ati i have no idea. but nvidia settings is in your system menu in gnome
[16:47] <Rob215> Because when I upgraded to <IP_ADDRESS>. GRUB said no image found so I removed it from Synaptic
[16:47] <raj> lubosz : i am having only two resolutions 800x600 and 600x480
[16:47] <ActionParsnip1> raj: what is the output of te command please?
[16:47] <lubosz> raj: nvidia?
[16:48] <anteaya> lstarnes, I'm nervous about that one since apt-get doesn't know anything about the apache that is there, I have baked my own OS in the past when I installed the same package via both synaptic and from source
[16:48] <lstarnes> progre55: also, do you use DHCP for automatic configuration?
[16:48] <progre55> awesome! it seems to be fixed :)
[16:48] <ActionParsnip1> raj: in a terminal run: lspci | grep -i vga
[16:48] <snake> adding to $PATH: how do add a directory to the end of $PATH ?
[16:48] <progre55> lstarnes: yeah, on my router level
[16:48] <guntbert> Rob215: here I have <IP_ADDRESS> too - why do you need the latest anyway?
[16:49] <raj> action:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
[16:49] <raj> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[16:49] <lstarnes> progre55: you might need to add something in /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf to make sure that those two nameservers don't get overwritten
[16:49] <robin___> http://www.ugotit.ca
[16:49] <snake> adding to $PATH: how do add a directory to the end of $PATH ?
[16:49] <raj> actionparsnip1:~$ lspci | grep -i vga
[16:49] <raj> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[16:49] <progre55> lstarnes: oh, what would I need to add?
[16:50] <lstarnes> snake: export PATH=$PATH:new-directory
[16:50] <lubosz> raj: there is no proprietary driver fro your hardware, intel is foss
[16:50] <linuxghost> help here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper)
[16:50] <snake> sorry i asked this already but
[16:50] <snake> im not the brightest guy around
[16:50] <macman_> i remember now why i stopped using ubuntu .. it didn't like my nvida card
[16:50]  * Malolat i neta8 wita wieczorkiem:)
[16:50] <donvito-> when feisty trying to update soures to many sources not updated
[16:50] <progre55> apparently my old nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> is not even pinging =)
[16:50] <lstarnes> donvito-: probably because you're using a very old version of ubuntu
[16:50] <ActionParsnip1> raj: #38 on this link: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/416073
[16:50] <Rob215> Because it the latest! The update is an update to the ubuntu core!!
[16:50] <raj> lubosz: what do u mean by it
[16:50] <donvito-> how to update the distro?
[16:51] <macman_> ok i need nvidia-glx-180
[16:51] <Rascal911> the openvpn addon for network manager is dodgy so i have to use cli. How do i push *everything* (except local stuff obviously) down private network?
[16:51] <lstarnes> progre55: open /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and add this: prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>,<IP_ADDRESS>;
[16:51] <guntbert> Rob215: wait till it is distributed
[16:51] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: if you run: gksudo jockey-gtk      it will be offered in a nice gui for you
[16:51] <linuxghost> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523
[16:51] <progre55> lstarnes: thanks! appreciate man
[16:51] <donvito-> when try to ./configure eggdrop
[16:51] <ActionParsnip1> !upgrade | donvito-
[16:51] <lstarnes> donvito-: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[16:52] <nastas> donvito-: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:52] <donvito-> c compiler not work
[16:52] <lstarnes> donvito-: you need the tcl and tcl-dev packages for tcl in eggdrop
[16:52] <progre55> lstarnes: done, thank you
[16:52] <lstarnes> donvito-: also, build-essential must be installed for compiling anything
[16:52] <donvito-> ok
[16:52] <lstarnes> progre55: assuming that your version of ubuntu still uses dhclient, that should work
[16:52] <linuxghost> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step doesnt run
[16:53] <raj> guys nothing is helping is helping me
[16:53] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: do i run  gksudo jockey-gtk  before i install the nvidia-glx-180 .. when i was on ubuntu 8.10 i don't think my nvida card ever worked .. no matter what i used
[16:53] <raj> nothing is helping me
[16:53] <raj> need experts
[16:53] <macman_> also i need to get my wifi working without ndiswrapper
[16:53] <macman_> actually i can fix that .. i think i remember
[16:53] <nastas> macman_: what is your wifi card?
[16:53] <ActionParsnip1> linuxghost: http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523   looks like you gotta compile the module, or you can use ndiswrapper
[16:54] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: jockey will offer you the driver
[16:54] <macman_> i have a broadcom .. yea i think i know how to do it
[16:54] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: what is the output of: lspci | grep -i vga
[16:54] <macman_> nvidia g71gl quadro fx 3500
[16:54] <Rob215> sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. It's <IP_ADDRESS> not <IP_ADDRESS>

[16:56] <kotis> hi, is here some who could help me a bit. i have problems with my nvidia graphic card and ubuntu 9.10
[16:56] <protojay> ubuntu rules!!
[16:57] <Rob215> sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. It's <IP_ADDRESS> not <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:57] <Rob215> please help

[16:57] <DaZ_> !ask | kotis
[16:58] <kotis> sorry :D
[16:58] <nastas> kotis: what exactly is your issue?
[16:58] <guntbert> Rob215: what do you get with uname -a ?
[16:58] <Rob215> what
[16:59] <Rob215> !tab what
[16:59] <donvito-> openssh-server should be in live cd?
[16:59] <donvito-> cause i found build-essential there
[16:59] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: yes, you can add it as a repo as well and install from that
[16:59] <lstarnes> donvito-: no
[16:59] <kotis> i have installed nvidia restricted driver 185. the biggest resolution i can use is 1360x768. i would like to use 1680x1050. but i can't set that resolution. monitor is viewsonic va2216w
[17:00] <DaZ> kotis: nvidia-xconfig --mode=1680x1050
[17:00] <goose> donvito-: no, it's not, you'll need to install it through aptitude. unless maybe you're using the specific "Ubuntu server" CD
[17:00] <ActionParsnip1> kotis: ok run: sudo nvidia-xorg; gksudo nvidia-settings
[17:01] <ActionParsnip1> kotis: set the res to something and click "save to X config file"
[17:01] <ActionParsnip1> kotis: you can then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf     and manually change the resolution to what you want
[17:01] <DaZ> ActionParsnip1: nvidia-xorg? :o
[17:02] <ActionParsnip1> kotis: nvidia-xconfig   sorry
[17:02] <ActionParsnip1> DaZ: thanks
[17:02] <chibihogoshino> im planing on upgrading the ram in this laptop to more than 3 gig and i installed the pae kernal, now the swap is around 70% full.. why is this ?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: run: top     and look at the ram usage (my bet is firefox)
[17:03] <earthian> Hi, I tried to manually upgrade from hardy to karmic, unsuccessfully. How do I now remove all/most ubuntu packages to reinstall the new one with correct dependencies? After remove ubuntu-standard and other ubuntu-* package nothing changed :(
[17:04] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: you need to upgrade to jaunty fro hardy first
[17:04] <ActionParsnip1> *from
[17:04] <earthian> ActionParsnip1, its too late now. how do I remove what i have done?
[17:04] <squid0> hi
[17:04] <earthian> is there any known way to do so?
[17:04] <earthian> to cleanly do it
[17:04] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: if you have screwed your system by jumping a release, all I can suggest is a reinstall
[17:05] <earthian> ok
[17:05] <squid0> I upgraded from jaunty to karmic, and X freezes when I close my laptop lid. any help or suggestions, please? I've disabled DRI but the same problem
[17:05] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: others may have guidance but you are not following proper methods to upgrade and have come unstuck
[17:05] <mka2> earthian, rather install karmic afresh. you can only upgrade from hardy to lucid next year
[17:05] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: the methods are there for a reason and you have chosen to ignore it
[17:06] <earthian> ActionParsnip1, I did not choose to ignore the methods - the methods chose to ignore my wish
[17:06] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: its not running
[17:06] <mka2> squid0, did you configure your sustem to suspend when the lid is closed?
[17:06] <Lungan> Why doesnt wifi works on my HP laptop?
[17:06] <Lungan> ubuntu 9.10
[17:06] <squid0> mka2: uh, I don't think so
[17:07] <M0D-1T> hey hello everyone! how can i add conky to my startup applications??
[17:07] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: what isnt?
[17:07] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: firefox
[17:07] <ActionParsnip1> earthian: then you should have resolved the issue
[17:07] <mka2> earthian, but you never asked if ever it was ok to remove ubuntu* packages
[17:07] <jangaj> Lungan-> you have the driver loaded?
[17:07] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: that was just my guess at wats chewing you swap and ram as firefox is orrific with ram
[17:07] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: what does top say is using most ram?
[17:07] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: i only have 1 gig now, would that make a different
[17:08] <earthian> mka2, well ubuntu-* packages should have triggered a remove of automatically installed packages after them.. i just want a basic system with ssh to reinstall everything again :/
[17:08] <mka2> squid0, right-click the battery icon in gnome-pannel and check properties
[17:08] <Rascal999> i have br0 set up, vpn, how do i shove all traffic down it?
[17:08] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: well your kernel will use more swap as you have reduced ram
[17:08] <ActionParsnip1> Rascal999: use the route command
[17:09] <Rascal999> ActionParsnip1, route add default gw?
[17:09] <Lungan> Why doesnt wifi works on my HP laptop?
[17:09] <ActionParsnip1> Rascal999: yeah like that :D
[17:09] <mka2> earthian, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop openssh-client openssh-server ....
[17:09] <ActionParsnip1> Lungan: depends on the wifi chip
[17:09] <mka2> earthian, doesn't that work
[17:09] <Lungan> ActionParsnip1, broadcom i think
[17:09] <ActionParsnip1> Lungan: what is the output of: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i product
[17:09] <jangaj> earthian-> you were advised to not skip a distro, and you did?
[17:09] <Lungan> ActionParsnip1, I will se
[17:10] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: yeah but its never been around 70% till upgraded
[17:10] <mka2> earthian, and remember that even if you have all the apps you want to use installed, your system may be missing some critical applications/utilities
[17:10] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: if you set swappiness lower it will try to use the swap less
[17:10] <mka2> jangaj, yes, earthian is on hardy (a LTS)
[17:11] <squid0> mka2: ok, firstly I'm running lxde or kde (currently lxde)
[17:11] <squid0> mka2: secondly, in systemsettings of kde, I see that powerdevil is disabled
[17:11] <earthian> mka2 i have over 600 packages that can not be upgraded due to dependency problems. jangaj i read on www.ubuntu.com how to upgrade from hardy to karmic and it did not work.so i did a "debian" way of upgrading which did not upgrade everything as I expected so now instead of resolving the dependences myself i just want to reinstall without a medium,i.e. over ssh.
[17:11] <ActionParsnip1> chibihogoshino: gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf       add this line: vm.swappiness=2       to the bottom, save the new file and reboot
[17:11] <donvito-> i just needed to change the sources to old-release.ubuntu.com
[17:11] <donvito-> and no one told me that
[17:11] <donvito-> dissapointles
[17:11] <mka2> squid0, I am 100% gnome so I have little info about KDE environment
[17:11] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: thats why we have that page to tell you
[17:12] <squid0> mka2: got it
[17:12] <donvito-> i didnt release 7.04 u did
[17:12] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: you are using an unsupported release so support is harder
[17:12] <donvito-> so i need help witht that
[17:12] <ActionParsnip1> !7.10 | donvito-
[17:12] <squid0> mka2: iirc there was an issue before, (maybe the same issue I have now?), and to try fix/workaround I disabled powerdevil.
[17:12] <donvito-> ok
[17:12] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: your release has been 8 months dead now
[17:12] <conb123> I remember there was a command I found on google a while ago that put all of your currently installed packages into a file which could be then used to restore them all later on but i cannot find it. Does anybody know which one it is?
[17:12] <silver> is it safe to do a dist. upgrade from jaunty to karmic or should i do a complete new installation?
[17:12] <earthian> anyway nevermind. i will fix it some way. just wanted to ask here if there is a well known way to do so as removal ubuntu-* packages did remove only the virtual one.
[17:12] <donvito-> either im using it on virtual pc and work like charm
[17:13] <squid0> mka2: anyway I just enabled it again and I'll play around and see what I can come up with
[17:13] <mka2> earthian, the only way I think you can upgrade from hardy to karmic is to go to intrepid and from intrepid to jaunty and from jaunty to karmic it is too long!
[17:13] <earthian> thanks
[17:13] <Rascal999> ActionParsnip1, that didn't work
[17:13] <chibihogoshino> ActionParsnip1: thank you .. ill try that
[17:13] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: sure it will work but you wont gt updates as there are no repos for it except your install cd
[17:13] <jangaj> earthian-> as you have experienced, dist upgrade is much much too problematic.  I always suggest a fresh install of the new distro.. if you have had /home in a separate partition, then it is easy to re-install
[17:13] <DaZ> earthian: i think you can force it to remove it's dependencies
[17:13] <hal> just backup your files and do a straight install of ubuntu
[17:13] <ActionParsnip1> Rascal999: if you run: route     does it say its using the right interface
[17:13] <DaZ> but you have to man it [;
[17:14] <earthian> Daz how? :)
[17:14] <DaZ> earthian: man apt-get ?
[17:14] <Rascal999> <IP_ADDRESS>        <IP_ADDRESS>         <IP_ADDRESS> UH    0      0        0 tun0
[17:14] <ActionParsnip1> silver: you can upgrade to karmic from jaunty just fine
[17:14] <Rascal999> got that atm
[17:14] <earthian> doh. ok. man aptitude then
[17:14] <jangaj> silver see my response to earthian
[17:14] <mka2> DaZ, can you upgrade from hardy to karmic?
[17:14] <earthian> thanks.
[17:14] <stevemc> I guess nobody knows, about auto login, What about 9.10´s new grub, what scripting is those stanzaa, just plain bash or something else?
[17:14] <ActionParsnip1> mka2: no you must stop at jaunty first
[17:14] <DaZ> mka2: i can everything
[17:14] <mka2> earthian, just fix your broken system and think about how to get to karmic if you want to
[17:15] <ActionParsnip1> !grub2 | stevemc
[17:15] <nastas> mka2: in my desktop i did a step by step upgrade
[17:15] <nastas> mka2: exactly as ActionParsnip1 told ys
[17:15] <mka2> Daz, see responses by ActionParsnip1 and nastas
[17:15] <ActionParsnip1> donvito-: if you download the alternate ISO for hardy, you can use it to upgrade to hardy which is the oldest release still supported
[17:15] <zer0ne> Hello, I installed ubuntu on my brother's laptop. He got an ipod nano gen 5 for christmas and it will not work with rhythmbox. Is there a workaround?
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> !ipod
[17:16] <ActionParsnip1> zer0ne: gtkpod, amarok, banshee   do ipod stuffs
[17:16] <BluesKaj> Happy Boxing Day !
[17:16] <mdg_> hello! anyone know of a floppy distro that can run e2fsck?
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> zer0ne:  ive heard some bad things about the latest itunes goofing things up also.
[17:16] <macman_> i booted from ubuntu 9.10 dvd right .. its seems like itsstuck at the ubuntu menu
[17:16] <ActionParsnip1> zer0ne: unfortunately apple are closed minded and don't embrace the penguin too much
[17:16] <macman_> now i just have a blinking cursor ath the top left
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> macman_:  which 'ubuntu' menu?
[17:16] <macman_> is ntis normal ?
[17:16] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded? did you verify the cd once booted
[17:17] <macman_> yes i verired it
[17:17] <mdg_> hello! anyone know of a floppy distro that can run e2fsck?
[17:17] <macman_> umm.. i donwloaded it form ubuntu website
[17:17] <ActionParsnip1> !bootoptions | macman_
[17:17] <ashmew2> macman_ : did you try the alternate cd ?
[17:17] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: where you downloaded from is moot, as long as it matches the MD5 sums from the ubuntu site its fine
[17:18] <stevemc> ActionParsnip1, Thanks, Iĺl have to study that, because I use multi boot systems.
[17:18] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: then its very worth while learning it
[17:18] <macman_> if i put a regular 8.10 dvd it will work
[17:18] <linuxghost>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/TP-Link_TL-WN620G_(ndiswrapper) im using ubuntu 9.10 and lsusb says no firmware AR5523 and this http://wiki.debian.org/ar5523#supported the patch step isnot correct for me
[17:18] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: 9.10 uses a different kernel
[17:18] <macman_> aw
[17:18] <pagore> Hello, guyz, does someone know where i can configure, that when i press CTRL + Middle mouse button to resize my window, where can i change the middle mouse button to right mouse button like in KDE?
[17:19] <ActionParsnip1> !shortcut | pagore
[17:19] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: i have a dell precision m90
[17:20] <donvito-> how to make ipv6 ip addresses on ubuntu?
[17:20] <macman_> intel core 2 duo t7600
[17:20] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/dell+precision+m90
[17:20] <stevemc> ActionParsnip1, I had the old sentex down where I could write stanzas from my head, so grub2 throw me fro a loop.
[17:20] <pagore> ubottu: ah there exist an application, ty i will ltry
[17:20] <qt-y> qt-x
[17:20] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: you can use the original grub if you like
[17:20] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: i'm unsure how long it will hang around though
[17:21] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: i still can't boot the dvd .. well actually i canboot the dvd i can see the ubuntu loader .. iand i can see all the boot options
[17:21] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: try disabling stuff in the bios to make your system as simple as possible (disable LAN, sound etc) just until you get installed. You may have to use boot options to get the installer running
[17:22] <andyl> is a intel core 2 quad core system with 8GB ram overkill for ubuntu for someone wishing to development in linux ?
[17:22] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: stuff like ACPI, DMA, APIC etc. Disable them all so the installer is as basic as possible
[17:22] <ActionParsnip1> andyl: sounds fine
[17:22] <stevemc> ActionParsnip1, That´s the thing, probalbly not much longer., I learn all the new every time it comes around, like xfree86 to xorg and then /dev/sda to uuid and such so now grub. :-)
[17:23] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: i admire your mentality :)
[17:23] <andyl> ok
[17:24] <earthian> ok. now i found good old tasksel :)
[17:24] <stevemc> I still can find an answer to why the gdm in 9.10 won let me login while it´s on itś 30 sec pause for my wife´s auto login.
[17:25] <mdg_> anyone done a floppy install?
[17:25] <usr13> mdg_: Not in a LONG time.
[17:25] <stevemc> mdg_, Whatś a floppy? :-)
[17:25] <mdg_> stevemc: LOL!
[17:25] <mdg_> stevemc: its apparently the only thing my Pentium 3 can boot from  :)
[17:26] <lstarnes> mdg_: most modern linux distributions don't even load floppy support by default
[17:26] <lstarnes> mdg_: not even cds?
[17:26] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: i've seen this: http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=50344   a floppy to boot cd when the bios can't boot cd
[17:26] <mka2> stevemc, and if you dont make gdm pause but to autologin straight away?
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> I set the wifes pc to auto login for her.
[17:26] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: oh I forgot to mention - the cd-drive won't read anymore
[17:26] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: will itbe better to install 8.10 and do a dist-upgrade to jaunty ?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: god another PC with a PATA/SATA CD Drive you can remove (assuming its a desktop)
[17:27] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: if you like, sure
[17:27] <`mOOse`> is there a function in ubuntu like the "personalconfiguration icon" in SuSe?
[17:27] <stevemc> mka2,  If it´s not set to pause, then you don even see the gdm screen and no other user has a chance to login.
[17:27] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: how long does an upgrade take ?
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> `mOOse`:  no idea what that does
[17:27] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: depends on how many packages need upgrading
[17:28] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: and connection speed
[17:28] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: LOL - I removed the harddrive the other day, put it in a usb case and installed from my mint computer - messing up grub on both of them LOL
[17:28] <mka2> stevemc, oh, it's a multi-user system?
[17:28] <`mOOse`> Dr_Willis: it sets things like turning the application menu carats on and off
[17:28] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: can the system boot usb?
[17:28] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: its a pentium 3
[17:28] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: im gong to do a default install of 8.10 and then do a dist-upgrade .. when i install 8.10 do i just do a dist-upgrade automatically or do i  upgrade packages first
[17:28] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: doesnt mean the mobo cant boot usb
[17:28] <`mOOse`> which on some apps is turned off, and I would really like to have them on at all times (on a laptop and touchpads suck)
[17:28] <mka2> stevemc, anyway, turn pause off and log in and turn pause on again
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> `mOOse`:  Sounds like many of the unofficial ubuntu-tweak and other similer apps out there
[17:29] <`mOOse`> I wonder if it's in the handicapped stuff
[17:29] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: should be about 45 mins a distro at my guess
[17:29] <`mOOse`> yes Dr_Willis - exactly
[17:29] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: its sitting at busybox (from the middle of an attempt at debian floppy netistall) at the moment
[17:29] <ActionParsnip1> mdg_: check in the BIOS to see, if not you will need another optical drive from another system (or buy one for less than a pack of smokes)
[17:30] <mdg_> ActionParsnip1: I need fsck or preferrably e2fsck to straighten out the drive before I can mount and fix grub... what a mess
[17:30] <stevemc> Itś for my sweethearts convience, the auto login, but when I use it, I normally set it to pause to give me a chance to login, but I think to new gdm has a bug becuse I see the login square but no box to fill in user name and pass word.
[17:30] <ActionParsnip1> !install | mdg
[17:30] <rysiek|pl> hi all
[17:30] <rysiek|pl> guys, I am trying to debug crashes of karmic on an Asus X59SL.
[17:30] <ActionParsnip1> stevemc: log a bug if you suspect one
[17:31] <mdg_> maybe I can get fsck in tinycore....
[17:31] <lstarnes> stevemc: your keyboard layout appears to be doing weird stuff (like showing "itś" instead of "it's"
[17:31] <rysiek|pl> they are very consistent and happen about 5-15mins after bootup
[17:31] <stevemc> I did that for ubuntuone, and was promtly told it was a repeat of several hundred times over.
[17:32] <rysiek|pl> both in GNOME, and when in root console/single user mode
[17:32] <Aces7825> yo
[17:32] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: so rry to bug you so much .. i actally have an 9.04 ubuntu cd and i think it boots .. if i boot that then do a dist-uprade will it go faster then trying to do a dist upgrade from 8.10 ?
[17:32] <rysiek|pl> in syslog I get two lines of "^@" aout the moment of crash
[17:32] <rysiek|pl> anybody any ideas where to look for more info?
[17:32] <stevemc> lstarnes, It´s a english keyboard set to spanish for my wife, and I forget to type different for english
[17:33] <rysiek|pl> google tells nothing
[17:33] <Gebruiker_> hello, is there a way to regenerate awstats? I added an additional ip filter and I'd like to apply that to the entire logfile.
[17:33] <jangaj> macman : dist upgrade is much much too problematic.  I always suggest a fresh install of the new distro.. if you have had /home in a separate partition, then it is easy to re-install
[17:33] <stevemc> ñ¿?¡!
[17:33] <PureEvilGeek> can ubuntu (9.04 to be exact) read freebsd file systems?
[17:33] <pagore> ubottu: this application didnt work, its only good for multimedia buttons :(, i just wanted to change the middle mouse button to righ mouse button when i resize my window in GNOME
[17:33] <macman_> im gonna burn 9.04
[17:33] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: sure, les jumps to make
[17:34] <jebblue> jangaj I've upgraded several machines here from 7.04 to 7.10 to 8.04 to 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 and none have home on a separate partition and all has gone well but that's my milage :)
[17:34] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: what fs does it use?
[17:34] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1: i believe it is ufs (unix file system)
[17:34] <jangaj> jebblue-> you are one of the lucky few,  hang around and you'd observed of the dist upgrade complaints
[17:35] <pagore> Hello, guyz, does someone know where i can configure, that when i press CTRL + Middle mouse button to resize my window, where can i change the middle mouse button to right mouse button like in KDE? My Laptop has no middle mouse button!
[17:35] <`mOOse`> Dr_Willis: I think it's in assistive technologies in preferences - I'm messin with it now - if I start typing in korean or russian, you know I got the settings a little wrong ;-)
[17:35] <`mOOse`> pagore:  - I was just talking about that
[17:35] <pagore> m00se: have you found a solution? :)
[17:36] <jacksonpan> hi, everyone, is there an ubuntu mobile phone?
[17:36] <`mOOse`> pagore: Try System/Preferences/Assistive Technologies - it's probably in there, but beyond that I don't know exactly
[17:36] <peter__> hi
[17:36] <`mOOse`> I want ALL apps to have the menu carats available, so I don't have to use the mouse to choose them
[17:36] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/bsd-17/mount-ufs-partitions-not-slices-from-linux-etcfstab-425047/#post2217856    has an fstab example, you can also use the entry rearranged to form a mount command'
[17:36] <`mOOse`> PITA
[17:36] <pagore> m00se: Ty :)   ill find it!
[17:36] <`mOOse`> gl
[17:37] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: somecommands likemncoder wont have full mouse use, the options are so vast
[17:38] <jebblue> m00se: system | prefs | appearance | interface | menus and toolbars?
[17:40] <sixtila> rhythmbox error!
[17:40] <sixtila> ** (rhythmbox:5749): CRITICAL **: atk_object_set_name: assertion `name != NULL' failed
[17:40] <`mOOse`> I want the opposite ActionParsnip1...I'd like all apps to have the ALT-Key combo to be underlined so when you choose, the menu for that corresponding set of command drops down, like in all the default gnome pgms like Terminal, etc...you know, if you hit ALT-F in Terminal you get the File menu etc...not all pgms do it and I want them to be able to
[17:40] <Guest172> some one uses ktechlab?
[17:40] <`mOOse`> jebblue: no, in preference/assistive technologies (at least in karmic)
[17:41] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: gotcha, i figured they'd all use alt+f as you say
[17:41] <`mOOse`> not all of them no unfortunately...I think it might be hard-coded into each app, and some pgmers don't see the need I guess
[17:41] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: makes sense to have a common menu call, oh well.
[17:42] <`mOOse`> on a laptop (and I admit I prefer the keys over the mouse anyways - old DOS/Unix guy here) it's a PITA to use the touchpad
[17:42] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: submit it on http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[17:42] <zagnut> hello!
[17:42] <zagnut> quick question about installation
[17:42] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: i use cli more so dont use guis so much
[17:42] <PureEvilGeek> lol i really didn't expect this to be an issue in any way
[17:42] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: ask away
[17:43] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: seems to be a recognised fs to the kernel
[17:43] <zagnut> I haven't even downloaded the past two releases, but I was using ubuntu nonstop for about 4 years through high school. If I were to buy a PC with Win7 on it, could I have ubuntu non-destructively shrink the windows 7 partition and setup dualboot?
[17:43] <zagnut> or do I have to do that manually still?
[17:43] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1 yeah just trying to do it from the GUI isn't permitted it looks like.
[17:43] <zagnut> repartitioning
[17:43] <oCean_> sixtila: there's a bug entry for that at LP: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/482820
[17:43] <`mOOse`> sure zagnut easy
[17:43] <subbuteo> help italy please
[17:43] <`mOOse`> highly recommended :-)
[17:44] <guntbert> !it | subbuteo
[17:44] <zagnut> `mOOse`: so the installer does it for you?
[17:44] <zagnut> awesome :)
[17:44] <zagnut> *downloading the latest releast*
[17:44] <zagnut> *release
[17:44] <zagnut> wait, should I download the latest, or the latest LTS?
[17:44] <`mOOse`> weeellll....I would read up on dual booting if I were you but it's common, and the tools are easy to use
[17:45] <zagnut> I'm honestly not looking for latest/greatest anymore, I'm in school full-time and working. I don't have time to just fiddle with linux anymor
[17:45] <air_> hi all, is there ubuntu x86_64 distro in the wild?
[17:45] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1 scsi disks are called what in /dev ?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: you'll need to run the gui with gksudo, i'd add anentry in fstab to automount it
[17:45] <guntbert> !dualboot | zagnut
[17:45] <`mOOse`> zagnut: yer in the right channel (ubuntu) but now you have to decide - gnome or kde...that's the $100 question ;-)
[17:45] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: sudo fdisk -l    will tell you
[17:45] <PureEvilGeek> anentry?
[17:45] <Maximillion> What java package is recommended for ubuntu?
[17:45] <zagnut> actually, I'll probably just install a server CLI environment
[17:45] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: i choose LXDE so choose neither, do I get $50
[17:46] <zagnut> and then install a lightweight fluxbox environment
[17:46] <`mOOse`> lol - NOH!
[17:46] <`mOOse`> you have to leave now!
[17:46] <`mOOse`> ;-)
[17:46] <zagnut> `mOOse`: lxde would work took
[17:46] <zagnut> *too
[17:46] <zagnut> I have to leave?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip1> !lubuntu
[17:46] <w1cked> how to purge fonts cache?
[17:46] <zagnut> wait, real fast, x86 vs x64?
[17:46] <ActionParsnip1> `mOOse`: :D
[17:46] <`mOOse`> notice the smile on my face eh? ;-)
[17:46] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1: this mount will only be in there for 2 minutes then i'm putting another one on. I can make it so the GUI can auto mount ufs whenever I put a disk in that is that format?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: the gconf should mount it, or you will av to manually mount again
[17:47] <adalal> hello all, i dont seem to be able to connect to keyserver.ubuntu.com from this one computer, any ideas why?
[17:47] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: its not clean cut like that

[17:48] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: use pgp.mit.edu   instead
[17:48] <ActionParsnip1> air_: sure it does

[17:49] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: i always add the repo in sources.list then use the right command to import the key
[17:49] <sixtila> is this repository safe to have deb http://cz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu karmic main universe
[17:49] <guntbert> adalal: if the keyserver is unresponsive you can use any other as well - try http://pgp.mit.edu/
[17:49] <air_> ActionParsnip1: i see only i386 variant there
[17:49] <oCean_> air_: then click "alterntive download options"
[17:49] <ActionParsnip1> air_: the alternative download options allows 64bit
[17:49] <air_> oops
[17:49] <ActionParsnip1> air_: oops indeed ;)
[17:49] <adalal> ActionParsnip1, guntbert: i dont mind using that, but why is my computer in the entire network the only one not accessing that server?
[17:49] <marek9469> siema
[17:49] <`mOOse`> we see a lot of that in here ;-
[17:49] <Bac9> how can I open a msft powerpoint presentation in ooimpress without having it autostart and grab keyboard/mouse?
[17:49] <`mOOse`> ;-)
[17:50] <oCean_> !pl | marek9469
[17:50] <zagnut> yeah, I know where it is
[17:50] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: you asked ealier and I have no idea based on what you reported from the tests
[17:50] <scunizi> Bac9: save the file .. open OOimpress.. then File/open..
[17:50] <zagnut> but is 64-bit ubuntu even worth it?
[17:50] <guntbert> adalal: thats "a very good question" (TM)
[17:50] <Bac9> scunizi: it still autostarts the slideshow
[17:50] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: and the best way to do a dist ugrade is apt-get -u distupgrade ?
[17:51] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: if you use more than 3Gb ram and do lots of audio / video converting then yes, if you just webborwse ad chat then not really and you can install pae to access more ram
[17:51] <macman_> see 9.0.4 works fine
[17:51] <adalal> lol
[17:51] <scunizi> Bac9: then check the options in OOImpress to see if it's set to autostart. mine doesn't act that way
[17:51] <ActionParsnip1> !upgrade | macman_
[17:51] <uros> hi all! was trying to fix non-functioning microphone on asus by installing "linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic
[17:51] <Bac9> scunizi: I can't seem to find that option, can you direct me to the proper location?
[17:51] <uros> now speaker also doesnt work
[17:51] <PureEvilGeek> is there any reason that ubuntu is compiled with read only support for ufs ?
[17:51] <uros> how do i reverse this?
[17:52] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: use better mount options
[17:52] <switch10_> uros: did you uninstall it?
[17:52] <bastid_raZor> uros: uninstall the same package you installed?
[17:52] <kostkon> uros, or better, check your hardware volume levels
[17:52] <uros> i can uninstall but still doesnt work
[17:52] <MrKeuner> Hi, I think there is a problem with launchpad, i cannot flag a bug as "that does not affect me", I get an error
[17:52] <macman_> ActionParsnip1: so remember im going to go straigt from 9.0.4 to 9.10 without installing anything .. will that mess anything up ? or should i install video etc .. and then upgrade .. sorry for the n00b question
[17:52] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1 what do you mean? i'm looking through dmesg and its telling me that ufs was compiled with read-only support.
[17:52] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6523/
[17:53] <ActionParsnip1> macman_: sure you can do that
[17:53] <zagnut> ActionParsnip1: it's going to be a lenovo with 4gb of ram
[17:53] <uros> have a feeling i replacen something, but i don't know what
[17:53] <kostkon> uros, install "gnome-alsamixer"
[17:53] <switch10_> uros: type alsamixer into the terminal and adjust the volume
[17:53] <zagnut> what's the opinion of the room of a lenovo SL410?
[17:53] <Aces7824> helo
[17:53] <zagnut> it's their SL series, not their R or T series
[17:53] <air_> ActionParsnip1: are those images bootable from flashdisk also?
[17:53] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: then 64bit will make the ram all one block, 32bit can be run ut you will need a PAE enabled kernel which can be installed later to access all the ram
[17:54] <ActionParsnip1> air_: there are tools to put the image on flash to install
[17:54] <air_> nice
[17:54] <Bac9> scunizi: it is really annoying me and I can't find a way to turn it off, even if I select the end slideshow option then it just closes ooimpress, and the same thing for every powerpoint document
[17:54] <guntbert> zagnut: hardware opinions - please not here
[17:54] <bastid_raZor> zagnut: honestly, this laptop has 3GB of RAM and i've never even come close to using more than 1.5GB..
[17:54] <ActionParsnip1> air_: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/usb-ubuntu-904-persistent-install-windows/
[17:54] <ActionParsnip1> air_: works with lucid too
[17:54] <zagnut> ActionParsnip1: so 64-bit?
[17:54] <zagnut> and 32-bit apps run without intervention like on windows now right?
[17:55] <ActionParsnip1> zagnut: sure, its eqaully supported
[17:55] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: if you want to compile a kernel for write access I'm sure its possible
[17:55] <adalal> ActionParsnip1, guntbert: can't import from there either :S timed out as well when i used 'sudo apt-key adv --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 28CBC482'
[17:55] <kaimerra> Does Evolution support MIME digests?
[17:55] <Out_Cold> so a persistent usb can boot on any machine? or only the machine it was created on??
[17:56] <adalal> Out_Cold: any compatible machine
[17:56] <ActionParsnip1> adalal: you can manually download the key and import it
[17:56] <donvito-> were i can get amsn for ubuntu
[17:56] <Out_Cold> adalal, compatible as in hardware that is supported on the live cd?
[17:56] <qt-x> and that can boot usb :D
[17:56] <`mOOse`> air_:  I'm using a flash install of karmic right now as I type to you - works great with the persistent install (the 2nd of 2 steps to install on a pendrive)
[17:56] <chris_> In the software installation menu..
[17:56] <adalal> Out_Cold: yes
[17:56] <guntbert> adalal: you'll have to use port 11371
[17:56] <`mOOse`> that url ActionParsnip1 pasted tells you all you need to know about installing it
[17:56] <Out_Cold> !usb > Out_Cold
[17:56] <`mOOse`> it roxors!
[17:56] <scunizi> Bac9: have you tried Esc?
[17:57] <oCean_> !info amsn | donvito-
[17:57] <air_> `mOOse`: it's not about flash-bootable installation
[17:57] <adalal> guntbert: how do you set that?
[17:57] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1: Ill go a different path before that:)
[17:57] <air_> i just want to install from flash disk
[17:57] <ActionParsnip1> air_: do you have a windows system?
[17:57] <air_> no
[17:57] <adalal> guntbert: for some reason, i dont think i can connect to that port from here for some reason
[17:57] <Bac9> scunizi: Esc also closes ooimpress
[17:57] <`mOOse`> oh, FROM a flash - yea you can do that too
[17:58] <guntbert> adalal: that might be the main issue - but for once you can d/l a key from there via the web interface
[17:58] <`mOOse`> that util ActionParsnip1 pasted basically puts the entire cd on your flash and gives you a menu that invokes the installer
[17:58] <ActionParsnip1> air_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick#Copy files to USB stick
[17:58] <air_> thank you
[17:58] <scunizi> Bac9: is this with just one file or all files..?
[17:59] <ActionParsnip1> air_: or you can use unetbootin
[17:59] <Bac9> scunizi: with any msft powerpoint file...
[17:59] <adalal> guntbert: i just did a search string on the mit php public key server, it keeps saying 'connecting' and never connects, which is why i think it really can't connect to that port for some reason :S
[17:59] <`mOOse`> yea, I kinda assumed you had a mswindows available too :-(
[17:59] <uros> hi all  ~- tnx for before.
[17:59] <`mOOse`> sry hehe
[17:59] <Wunderbar> been using mplayer in terminal to stream radio which works well but for some unknown reason stops playing. any idea why?
[17:59] <scunizi> Bac9: you might ask on the OO channel.. #openoffice.org
[17:59] <Bac9> scunizi: I've tried 5+ files, all the same behaviour
[17:59] <uros> now problem - internal microphone does not work on asus eee 1101ha
[17:59] <uros> any ideas?
[17:59] <Bac9> scunizi: I tried the OO channel, noone there replies
[18:00] <arreche> where is udisks package?
[18:00] <guntbert> adalal: so we assume some sort of network misconfiguration somewhere
[18:00] <scunizi> Bac9: timing is everything.. lots of those folks helping there are continental europeans
[18:01] <PureEvilGeek> ActionParsnip1: ah got it working, ufs support is in a module instead of in the kernel or... something lol
[18:01] <PureEvilGeek> thank you for your help.
[18:01] <Bac9> scunizi: hence it should be evening for them now... I've tried for several days... still nothing
[18:01] <scunizi> Bac9: sorry don't know what to tell you..
[18:02] <Bac9> scunizi: thank you for trying
[18:02] <ActionParsnip1> PureEvilGeek: cool
[18:03] <ubuntu__> ok
[18:03] <ubuntu__> hi guys
[18:04] <ubuntu__> how do i install programs on my live cd
[18:04] <PureEvilGeek> now i'm going to spend a few hours figuring out what file system has what content:(
[18:04] <guntbert> adalal: did you check your settings for network proxy?
[18:05] <adalal> guntbert: yeah, someone else on the network, put a block on it for soem reason... sorry for botherin u guys with that :P
[18:06] <siddhi> hi
[18:06] <siddhi> adalal
[18:06] <adalal> guntbert: it was part of the torrent blocking shecule
[18:06] <guntbert> adalal: np - it often helps just to voice the problem :-)
[18:06] <adalal> hello siddhi
[18:06] <siddhi> whats gng on?
[18:07] <adalal> do i know you
[18:07] <adalal> ?
[18:07] <oCean_> !remaster | ubuntu__ mean this?
[18:07] <siddhi> no
[18:07] <siddhi> just as such
[18:07] <MindVirus> Hello. My system swaps very often with 1GB memory and minimal usage. Any advice?
[18:07] <MindVirus> Bootup memory usage is 600MB.
[18:07] <siddhi> ok ur frm
[18:07] <siddhi> ?
[18:08] <oCean_> siddhi: this is ubuntu support channel - not chat
[18:08] <siddhi> ny 1 saw
[18:08] <Out_Cold> ubuntu__, you can install programs through the terminal with apt-get or aptitude or on the desktop with synaptic. BUT it will only remain until you reboot
[18:08] <Wunderbar> been using mplayer in terminal to stream radio which works well but for some unknown reason stops playing. any idea why?
[18:08] <guntbert> !ot | siddhi
[18:08] <siddhi> i have a prob
[18:09] <kinja-sheep> ubuntu__: Open a terminal and "sudo aptitude install gbrainy" --> You'll see a new game added in Games section.
[18:09] <siddhi> my rediff bol not running
[18:09] <bastid_raZor> MindVirus: change your swappiness?
[18:09] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: How?
[18:09] <adalal> siddhi: rediff bol is not an ubuntu issue
[18:09] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: What will this do?
[18:09] <jenia> hey guys
[18:09] <bastid_raZor> MindVirus: it will swap less and use your actual RAM instead.
[18:10] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: Why isn't this enabled by default?
[18:10] <jenia> I have set up an apache server on my machine
[18:10] <bastid_raZor> MindVirus: it is.. it is a setting you can change up and down.
[18:10] <bastid_raZor> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq MindVirus about 3/4 down the page
[18:10] <jenia> however, the websites dont display the images
[18:10] <mka2> what tv tuner card should I buy for use in ubuntu?
[18:11] <bastid_raZor> !hardware | mka2 find a suitable card here
[18:11] <mka2> thanks, bastid_raZor
[18:11] <bastid_raZor> mka2: good luck.
[18:11] <arreche> where is udisks package?
[18:11] <szaki> jest kots?
[18:11] <szaki> ktos
[18:11] <oCean_> !pl | szaki
[18:12] <bastid_raZor> arreche: you could search on packages.ubuntu.com
[18:13] <arreche> bastid_raZor: thanks but it is not there
[18:13] <rysiek|pl> guys, need some help editing grub2 configuration
[18:14] <oCean_> arreche: what are you looking for exactly? Not sure what you mean by udisks package..
[18:14] <bastid_raZor> arreche: then possibly it is referred to by something else. where are you getting the name udisks from?
[18:14] <rysiek|pl> I would like to remove a few stanzas, leave only the *current* kernel for Ubuntu and one stanza for (shudder) Vista
[18:14] <rysiek|pl> can't find anything in the docs
[18:15] <bastid_raZor> rysiek|pl: you can uninstall older kernels and they will be removed automatically.
[18:15] <arreche> DeviceKit-disks has been renamed to udisks
[18:15] <xeer> I am wonder how to trim an audio clip in Traverso, any hints?
[18:15] <xeer> wondering*
[18:15] <bastid_raZor> arreche: yeah but that info you have is it from a Ubuntu site?
[18:16] <tilt> hello
[18:16] <oCean_> !info devicekit-disks | arreche this one?
[18:16] <tilt> is there, after deinstalling cpufreqd and powernowd, any program that automatically sets cpufreq governors and min./max. frequency values? when I set 800-2500mhz it is immediately set back to 800-800.
[18:16] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: what about memtest, etc?
[18:16] <tilt> this happened after dist-upgrade to karmic koala
[18:17] <tilt> currently I am trying out more recent kernels, such as 2.6.32
[18:17] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: How do I change swappiness?
[18:17] <trism> rysiek|pl: to remove memtest, sudo chmod -x /etc/grub.d/20_memtest86+, then sudo update-grub;
[18:17] <arreche> yes
[18:17] <trism> rysiek|pl: or you could uninstall the memtest86+ package if you really don't want it
[18:17] <rysiek|pl> trism: great, thanks
[18:18] <arreche> I need udisks package to compile gnome-disk-utility
[18:18] <bastid_raZor> MindVirus: it shows directly on that page. did you read it?
[18:18] <bastid_raZor> rysiek|pl: you're on karmic?
[18:18] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: aye
[18:18] <oCean_> arreche: guess that in 9.10 it's still the old (?) naming: devicekit-disks
[18:18] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: I apologize; I didn't see your link.
[18:18] <arreche> that is oCean_
[18:18] <bastid_raZor> !grub2 | rysiek|pl .. howto edit the grub options is here.
[18:19] <bastid_raZor> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq MindVirus
[18:19] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: thanks a bunch!
[18:19] <MindVirus> bastid_raZor: Yeah, I saw it once you told me. Sorry. :(
[18:19] <bastid_raZor> rysiek|pl: grub2 is very different from grub.. not as easy to manipulate.
[18:19] <lafleur-> when i try to connect from another pc in my ubuntu it says connection refused
[18:19] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: how are you trying to connect? ssh?
[18:20] <lafleur-> yes
[18:20] <nh2> should 3d with the radeon driver work on a karmic box just out of the box?
[18:20] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: on your ubuntu box do you have openssh-server installed?
[18:21] <lafleur-> yes
[18:21] <lafleur-> i do
[18:21] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: yeah, noticed; in grub I could do almost anything, here I have serious problems with basic stuff
[18:21] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: are youtrying to connect from inside the network or from over the internet?
[18:21] <rysiek|pl> bastid_raZor: but I do see the pros of it - graphical boot, for example
[18:22] <microhaxo> Holy hell, using powertop my battery goes from 6 hours and 5 min to 7 hours and 20 min!!!!
[18:23] <lafleur-> im behind firewall too
[18:23] <Out_Cold> i haven't played too much with grub2 yet.... haven't had anything break on me needing fixes
[18:23] <lafleur-> so does that mean somtething
[18:23] <microhaxo> I wish i could make a script that would do all the needed changes so that i could just execute it upon boot, but it doesnt hurt to just run powertop each time.
[18:23] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: you need to forward port 22, and also your isp might possibly block 22. in that case you need to use a different port all together. which is easy to do.
[18:24] <Rob215> Hi
[18:24] <Out_Cold> !hi | Rob215
[18:24] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: if you're behind a router you'll need to portforward 22 to your ubuntu internal ip.
[18:24] <Bubbadood> sorry stupid question how do i save a terminal log in Ubuntu 9.10
[18:24] <lafleur-> yes ill change from the config right
[18:24] <lafleur-> ?
[18:24] <Bubbadood> or turrn on logging if that is what is needed first
[18:25] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: changing the port yes.. /etc/ssh/sshd_config for the port change
[18:25] <Out_Cold> Bubbadood, there are lots of logs in /var/log
[18:26] <lafleur-> how to restart sshd
[18:26] <kosmaty> x
[18:26] <xeer> try `/etc/init.d/ssh restart` as root
[18:26] <lafleur-> !sshd restart
[18:26] <bastid_raZor> lafleur-: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[18:27] <guntbert> Bubbadood: look at .bash_history
[18:27] <trism> Bubbadood: if you need to log a terminal session for some specific purpose, you could use script, and it will log everything to a file called typescript until you type exit
[18:28] <Bubbadood> thanks guys .... exactly what I needed
[18:28] <lafleur-> when i try to add ip adress on port forwarding on my router it says  Invalid IP Adress it should be set within current subnet
[18:28] <lafleur-> if i want on my router all ips to listen the port how can i do that
[18:28] <lafleur-> by adding <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:28] <lafleur-> ?
[18:28]  * Pelo needs help with ssh-keypairs
[18:29] <Pelo> lafleur-, you might have better luck with that question in #networking
[18:30] <guntbert> lafleur-: its ##networking
[18:30] <lafleur-> ok
[18:30] <lafleur-> but no one answers that
[18:30] <Pelo> lafleur-, you can only add ports for ips within your router's range,  often shows as   <IP_ADDRESS> to ..... 199, or  start with ... 100 for 100 ip oa something like that
[18:31] <Pelo> lafleur-, but in anycase you should only be forwarding ports to the ip of your computer not to blocks
[18:31] <`mOOse`> lafleur-: what ip?
[18:31] <Pelo> lafleur-, ps ,  that range is also called DHCP
[18:31]  * tilt builds ppa 2.6.32 with acpi debgging ...
[18:31] <tilt> hrm
[18:32] <bbrooks> I have Windows 7 and Ubuntu Partition installed as dual boot, when booted into ubuntu is there any way to run my Windows 7 partition virtually?
[18:32] <Pelo> lafleur-, http://portforward.com/ check that site out for instructions on forwarding on your router
[18:32] <microhaxo> Ok, so i just Enabled Laptop mode in Ubuntu 9.10  It says that it causes hangups on some machines. Is it a good idea that i enabled this?
[18:32] <bbrooks> was wondering if Virtual Box will allow me to do so
[18:32] <tilt> is there a developer channel?
[18:32] <Pelo> bbrooks, you'd need the non free version of vbox or vmware, but it's doable with some work
