[17:16] <afirocks> i followed prompts
[17:16] <afirocks> and it just freezers
[17:16] <Pip> Anonymoose-Georg, define play
[17:16] <Pip> Anonymoose-Georg, You don't play Ubuntu actually, sometimes She plays you :D
[17:16] <Anonymoose-Georg> How do I use, operate Ubuntu?
[17:16] <Pip> Like most folks in this channel
[17:16] <bullgard4> !prefix | r1sk
[17:17] <Anonymoose-Georg> Which is?
[17:17] <Pip> Anonymoose-Georg, Let me ask you some simple questions
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> Anonymoose-Georg:  you want to ask a more specific question?
[17:17] <Pip> Anonymoose-Georg, 1) Why are you here ?
[17:17] <felon> can someone help me figure out if GLIB is correctly installed dosent ubuntu 10.04 lucid have it already installed?
[17:17] <notlink> Hey!  Why is the gnubik package so out of date?
[17:17] <Anonymoose-Georg> I am here because I require assistance with playing Ubuntu.
[17:18] <afirocks> use or play
[17:18] <bullgard4> felon: What is GLIB?
[17:18] <Anonymoose-Georg> afirocks, I think play is a more suitable word.
[17:18] <shanttu> Problem with scrolling. Scrolling lags and takes huge cpu. I have tried ff 3 & 4 and chrome.  10.10 with ati open drivers. Help, please.
[17:19] <Pip> Anonymoose-Georg, 2) Why ubunut ?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> Anonymoose-Georg:  no one ha a clue what you are asking about...
[17:19] <Anonymoose-Georg> I don't know how to plsay Ubuntu.
[17:19] <felon> bullgard4 : i could show you my error msg, while trying to configure xchat 2.8.8
[17:19] <Anonymoose-Georg> I mean, play.
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> Anonymoose-Georg:  no one knows what youmean by the term 'play'
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> !manual | Anonymoose-Georg
[17:20] <Pip> Anonymoose-Georg, 2) You can play other distributions, why ubuntu ?
[17:20] <bullgard4> shanttu: Analyze /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old
[17:20] <Anonymoose-Georg> Pip, I prefer Ubuntu because it's an open-source, community-based, safe and free game.
[17:21]  * Dr_Willis thinks  hes going to ignore the trolling
[17:21]  * Dr_Willis goes back to playing emacs
[17:21] <tjiggi_fo> took a while
[17:21] <Pip> Anonymoose-Georg, Read the Manual then
[17:22] <shanttu> bullgard: what part is relevant?
[17:22] <Tuubes> Dr_Willis I figuired out what I want
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  i am actually.. well.. suprised at that. :)
[17:22] <Tuubes> Dr_Willis I want to copy EVERYTHING from my old HD to my new one
[17:22] <Pip> Well, there are over 300 distributions out there Anonymoose-Georg
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  you want to CLONE the whole install to the new hard drive then?
[17:22] <Tuubes> Yes
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  a total bit for bit copy to the new hd...
[17:22] <Tuubes> Every driver, settings..
[17:23] <Tuubes> yes
[17:23] <bullgard4> shanttu: lines with "EE" or "WW"
[17:23] <Anonymoose-Georg> Pip: Can you recommend one?
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:   You are confuseing the terms again....
[17:23] <Tuubes> Dr_Willis I want everything, including my files, drivers, and everything from one HD to another
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  You dont clone to a 'new' install'' you are taking your total drive and just moveing the thing exactly to the new har ddrive...
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  you can use dd. or a dozen other backup/restore tools to do that.
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  but if your old install does not work.. the new one wont work either.. it will be an identical clone.
[17:24] <Tuubes> Okay, but I can't boot ubuntu to the HD I want to move my stuff from.
[17:24] <Tuubes> My old install works, new one sucks
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  then you dont want to CLONE the old to a new HD...
[17:24] <kevin__> Has anyone sucessfully got dropbox working in 11.04 beta 2?
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  Fix the old one perhaps...
[17:24] <Tuubes> Ugh
[17:24] <Tuubes> Old HD out of space
[17:24] <Tuubes> Want to move to new one
[17:24] <Tuubes> New one more space
[17:24] <FloodBot1> Tuubes: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:25] <bullgard4> kevin__: This is a question for #ubuntu+1.
[17:25] <ThinkT510> kevin__: #ubuntu+1
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:   You can easially move /home/ or other dirs to the NEW hard drive.
[17:25] <Tuubes> Want to move all to new one. what do
[17:25] <Tuubes> Dr_Willis it says I don't have permission
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:   if it dosent boot.. you dont want to clone it then.
[17:25] <kevin__> ok thanks.
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  you need to learn some more linux basics and how permissions and root work. and use sudo as needed.
[17:25] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  theresnot going to be a magical 1 command answer.
[17:25] <Tuubes> Can you walk me through, just for a bit/
[17:25] <Tuubes> Or show me a guide
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  install  mc, 'sudo mc' copy stuff over..
[17:26] <Anonymoose-Georg> !manual
[17:26] <Tuubes> command for mc?
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  or whatever other file manager you want to use
[17:26] <Tuubes> Remember I have no internet
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> command for mc is.. 'mc'
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  then use what file managers you got.,
[17:26] <Tuubes> which is?
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  and learnign to use the command line will be helpfull - theres still not going to be a way to copy over the drivers from your OLD install to the new install.
[17:27] <Tuubes> I want to move my old /home/ to my new /home/ I can't do that?
[17:27] <Dr_Willis> moving home is trivial..
[17:28] <Tuubes> Then how
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> mount the old  , sudo cp -r /home/whatever /home/wheverto
[17:28] <Tuubes> It's mounted
[17:28] <Dr_Willis> bash basics.
[17:28] <bullgard4> How is "resident memory" defined in System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes?
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4:  did you read that Linux memory primer url given earlier?
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> !ram
[17:29] <Dr_Willis> resident - memory of apps that are being cached.. i think.
[17:29] <shanttu> bullgard: only relevant pasted http://pastebin.com/40EPTbPV
[17:29] <Tuubes> Dr_Willis can I pm as to not flood the chat?
[17:30] <aelen_v> I tried Ekiga: now my touchpad mouse is not working at all and after connecting USB mobile modem my usb mouse is not working. Please help.
[17:30] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at sourcefrog.net."
[17:30] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  im going to the store. and im not going to teach you bash basics online here. thers 100's of bash tutorial guides.
[17:31] <Tuubes> Damnit, so what do I do Dr_Willis, I just want to copy my entire old /home/ folder to my new /home/ folder\
[17:31] <Tuubes> Thats all
[17:31] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4: perhaps its sourceforge not sourcefrog ?
[17:31] <Dr_Willis>  Tuubes  sudo cp -r /media/whever/oldhome /home/   or somthing like that...
[17:32] <shanttu> bullgard4: only relevant pasted http://pastebin.com/40EPTbPV
[17:32] <aelen_v> After plugging usb mouse nothing is changed in lsusb.
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  that wont copy over drivers or system settings.. just your users stuff.
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> bbl . gotta run.
[17:32] <bullgard4> shanttu: I do not know much about ati open drivers. I am sorry that I cannot help you.
[17:32] <ThinkT510> Tuubes: you've been told several times, you just have to be willing to learn for yourself, not just copy and paste commands
[17:32] <shanttu> bullgard4: ok. thanks anyway
[17:33] <BlouBlou> if I update to 11.04 (when it's released), will GNOME be purged etc etc... or wo├▒├▒ be recommended clean installation like when GRUB2 was implemented in Ubuntu?
[17:33] <Tuubes> ThinkT510 please remember ubuntu is for people, the devs say minimal hastle and stuff works out of the box
[17:33] <BlouBlou> s/wo├▒├▒/will
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  given the hassles ive had with windows.. i will stick with ubuntu.
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> Tuubes:  If you dont want to learn  anything.. well...
[17:34] <Tuubes> Dr_Willis can you just show me a guide for this I'd be happy
[17:34] <Dr_Willis> !bash
[17:34] <Tuubes> Thats it.
[17:34] <Tuubes> In windows this is 3 clicks
[17:34] <bullgard4> Dr_Willis: I could not copy&paste from Firefox' output. So a typo crept in when I typed. The statement is valid anyway.
[17:34] <Tuubes> end of start of the stories story
[17:35] <pasqoo> Hi, i need an advice! I have to choice between 2 modem models: D-Link DSL-2680 and TP-Link TD-W8950ND. People keep telling me to get the 2nd, but without explaining why! Since it costs more than the first one, could someone explain me why? Thanks!
[17:35]  * Dr_Willis waits while windows tries for the 100th time to install 30 updates.. and fails..
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> bbl. time to get groceries.
[17:35]  * Tuubes waits while windows can atleast connect to the internet and ubuntu tries.. and fails..
[17:36] <pattern> i want exim to use my own exim.conf file, but when i create an /etc/exim4 directory containing just exim.conf and start exim, exim complains:  "/usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf: Error, no /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf, exiting."
[17:36] <XGaryG> If I download the latest beta, how easy is the switch to stable when it is released?
[17:36] <pattern> is there any way to get exim not to run /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf ?  (short of maually editing /etc/init.d/exim4)
[17:36] <BlouBlou> XGaryG: it will update by normal updates
[17:36] <BlouBlou> XGaryG: daily
[17:36] <tensorpudding> the beta often undergoes lots of updates in a short amount of time
[17:36] <tensorpudding> but it's a smaller jump from beta to the release than from the old release to the release
[17:36] <pattern> or is there a Right Way to get exim to use my own exim.conf file?
[17:37] <ThinkT510> XGaryG: i wouldn't recommend it but you can, its better to wait for the stable release
[17:37] <tensorpudding> the main issue with the beta is not that it lacks an easy upgrade path, but that it is in a state of rapid change and isn't really stable
[17:38] <Seven_Six_Two> pattern, there is likely a way, perhaps you can specify your config file on the command line. try    man exim
[17:38] <pattern> Seven_Six_Two: it's not really a problem of passing it to exim
[17:39] <pattern> it's a problem of /etc/init.d/exim4 running that update-exim4.conf script by default
[17:39] <pattern> i want to avoid that
[17:39] <LGeek> what is that?
[17:40] <XGaryG> I have a 64bit processor, but it is not an amd.
[17:40] <hvnsweeting> hi all, i've install debian on my laptop and I can't connect to internet. I checked /var/log/syslog , there is a line says: no IPv^ routers present. And ifconfig eth0 doesn't show any inet. Can anyone help me, thanks
[17:40] <treebeen> XGaryG: the standard is amd64
[17:40] <ikonia> XGaryG: that's fine
[17:40] <treebeen> XGaryG: even on intel
[17:40] <LGeek> you can't install drivers?
[17:40] <Tuubes> Hello I'm trying to copy all my /home/ files from my old HD to my new /home/ HD, how do I do it?
[17:41] <LGeek> to fix that problem?
[17:41] <WiPindon> hi, how install MySQL-server-5.5.11-1.linux2.6.i386.rpm ?
[17:41] <ThinkT510> WiPindon: thats an rpm file, ubuntu uses deb
[17:42] <ThinkT510> !alien | WiPindon
[17:42] <LGeek> yes
[17:42] <WiPindon> thanks
[17:42] <ThinkT510> WiPindon: first check if its available in the repos
[17:42] <ThinkT510> !find mysql | WiPindon
[17:43] <jaypro> Tuubes it's just the copy command in the terminal "cp <source folder> <destination folder>"
[17:43] <LGeek> I think it is all
[17:43] <Tuubes> k...
[17:43] <ThinkT510> WiPindon: its better to stick to the software in the repos, because its supported
[17:43] <Tuubes> Soo, how do I know the folder locations?
[17:43] <WiPindon> ThinkT510  thanks
[17:44] <ThinkT510> WiPindon: np
[17:44] <tensorpudding> Tuubes: where is your old home mounted?
[17:44] <Tuubes> No idea tensorpudding
[17:44] <tensorpudding> Tuubes: well, do you see your old hard drive?
[17:44] <Krishnandu> Hey guys, FF4 is still not included in maverick updates??
[17:44] <Tuubes> Yes
[17:44] <jaypro> Tuubes if you can navigate to both folders in nautilus, you can figure out location from there
[17:45] <Tuubes> nautilus?
[17:45] <tensorpudding> Tuubes: it's probably under the home folder in that drive?
[17:45] <ThinkT510> !ff4 | Krishnandu
[17:45] <jaypro> tuubes nautilus is the file explorer
[17:45] <Tuubes> I see, so I'll navigate to both home folders, Okay now I'm there
[17:45] <Tuubes> Now what
[17:46] <kyubutsu> Tuubes: you sound like you have absolutely no idea about ubuntu or linux yet you have had installed it before .. ?
[17:46] <tensorpudding> Tuubes: drag and drop them?
[17:46] <kyubutsu> shady
[17:46] <tensorpudding> Tuubes: you select all the files in the old home, drag them into the new home
[17:46] <Tyrone> need help here please why my laptop connected to my ubuntu cant use proxy server? i have install squid proxy in my ubuntu box
[17:46] <tensorpudding> there will be conflicts, most likely, you should replace them as you want
[17:47] <Tuubes> tensorpudding, my bad, I had everything in /File System/ I want to copy my old /File System/ to my new /File System/
[17:47] <kyubutsu> here we go again
[17:47] <tensorpudding> what?
[17:47] <bullgard4> How is "resident memory" defined in System > Administration > System Monitor > Processes?
[17:47] <tensorpudding> are those /'s for paths or for irc italics?
[17:48] <kyubutsu> tensorpudding: i dont think he has any idea what he REALLY wants to do, considering Dr_Willis has been coaching him for the last hour to no avail
[17:48] <tdelam> hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop, my trackpad buttons are acting like the trackpad itself so everytime i move a window or something the windows wander all over the place, how can i fix this?
[17:49] <tdelam> is there a specific driver or soemthing
[17:49] <ThinkT510> tensorpudding: he is talking about the root directory (/) called file system under nautilus
[17:49] <jaypro> tuubes... in nautilus you can open up 2 file locations by going to view > extra pane. then you can navigate to both the source and destination file locations. from there, you can select all the files you want, right click, then move to other pane
[17:50] <scarr> Back again with a failed text install on an old vaio notebook
[17:50] <kyubutsu> in my opinion, Tuubes has already been told everything he could possibly do .. he still keeps asking..
[17:50] <abiss27> guys I uninstalled google chrome from my laptop, because i would like to reinstall it again because i messed up with one of the settings on it, I reinstalled only to find out that I have the same settings and themes also on it, is there a folder where these are keep even after I uninstalled?
[17:50] <oCean> bullgard4: the amount of physical memory that process and its shared libraries use
[17:50] <subrahmanyam> i want to be a developer @ ubuntu what are the preliminary tasks that i have to do??
[17:51] <oCean> !getinvolved | subrahmanyam
[17:51] <scarr> Anyone know anything about undefined video mode number  :314 ?
[17:52] <kyubutsu> subrahmanyam: you might want to try that question at #freenode or #ubuntu-devs as well
[17:52] <bullgard4> oCean: Is this definition authoritative?
[17:52] <oCean> bullgard4: it's just what I learned years ago
[17:53] <bullgard4> o
[17:53] <brightspark> How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen?
[17:53] <oCean> bullgard4: not sure if ehow.com is authoritative, but: http://www.ehow.com/about_5497321_much-linux-memory-used-process.html
[17:54] <scarr> Anyone know anything about undefined video mode number  :314 ?
[17:54] <bullgard4> oCean: Ah! --  Thank you. So it is possible that for a certain process the larger part of resident memory is taken by shared libraries and not the process proper?
[17:55] <Tuubes> Jaypro, nope. It says the folder is "private" and I don't have the permission to read it
[17:55] <oCean> bullgard4: indeed it is
[17:55] <Hoxx_> I installed Ubuntu stick and now I cant get into windows without the stick!!
[17:56] <Hoxx_> It keeps saying "cannot find grub"
[17:56] <policyq> is unity designed for netbooks? and if so why's it going on the desktop
[17:56] <ThinkT510> Tuubes: it seems you don't understand what you are actually doing, copying one / filesystem to another is never a good idea and will break things
[17:57] <scarr> I'm 2 min away from taking a table leg to this old vaio.  Any suggestions?
[17:57] <jaypro> Tuubes well... maybe you're going to have to do it from the terminal. in nautilus, you can find the path of the source and destination. then open up a terminal and type "sudo cp <source> <destination>"
[17:57] <daniele> !list
[17:58] <oCean> scarr: don't use the table you're currently at
[17:58] <scarr> gotcha
[17:58] <ThinkT510> jaypro: he is trying to overwite the root directory with another root directory from another partition
[17:58] <jaypro> oh heh i see
[17:58] <kyubutsu> that wont work
[17:59] <scarr> I wonder if ubuntu is still loading underneath this error.  It sure sounds like it.
[17:59] <T_N_T> I am trying to connect to a vpn called vpnreactor and I set it up properly and keep getting a message that says it cant connect because of invalid vpn secrets what does that mean?
[17:59] <Hoxx_> can someone help, I tried to install ubunto on flash drive and now it wont boot into windows?
[18:00] <scarr> does anyone think I'll have a better chance with an older alternate install ?
[18:00] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_:  you said it wont boot without the usb drive plugged in, thats different
[18:00] <stix> Hi guys. I need to put several pictures together as a movie. Do you know any good software for that?
[18:01] <Tuubes> jaypro, how do i know the sources and destinations?
[18:01] <edwinkcw> stix: ffmpeg
[18:01] <Hoxx_> ya correct kyubutsu
[18:01] <Guest73207> Hey guys, I keep getting a "Could not retrieve the required installation files" when using the Wubi installer. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
[18:01] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: I dont know why it messed with the c drive when I clearly set it to only install on the usb stick
[18:02] <edwinkcw> stix: http://electron.mit.edu/~gsteele/ffmpeg/
[18:02] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: sounds like you need fix the mbr [reinstall windows bootloader]
[18:02] <stix> thank you guys
[18:02] <bodymind> ei!!
[18:02] <Tuubes> jaypro, how do i know the sources and destinations?
[18:02] <bodymind> anyone one knowns the server for anonymous?
[18:02] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: with the USB stick it boots into windows perfectly and also ubuntu if I choose it
[18:03] <jaypro> tuubes it says in nautilus, right below the tool bar but above the files... good luck man
[18:03] <brightspark> stix, I would recommend mencoder but your call
[18:03] <pasqoo> Hi, i need an advice! I have to choice between 2 modem models: D-Link DSL-2680 and TP-Link TD-W8950ND. People keep telling me to get the 2nd, but without explaining why! Since it costs more than the first one, could someone explain me why? Thanks!
[18:03] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: If I remove the stick it says "cannot find grub" or something like that
[18:03] <aelen_v> My touchpad and USB mouse stopped working (after using Ekiga!) and made my laptop installation unusable! http://pastebin.com/1i2a2BzB
[18:03] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: but .. ?
[18:03] <Tuubes> jaypro, i want to just copy over a driver I can't find, can you help me find an ubuntu driver for a Billion BiPAC 3011n wireless?
[18:04] <bcbc2> Guest73207: bug 762833
[18:04] <stix> brightspark, okay, I'll have a look at that too
[18:04] <brightspark> How can I remove old keyboard layouts from the menu that shows up when I click my picture at the login screen?
[18:04] <bcbc2> Guest73207: you'd have to get wubi.exe from somewhere else - what release are you after?
[18:04] <ThinkT510> Tuubes: why on earth didn't you say that from the beginning?
[18:05] <pattern> does anyone know if there's an ubuntu package that provides the Fatal::Exception perl package?
[18:05] <Tuubes> ThinT510 I can't find the driver ANYWHERE, it DOESN'T exist
[18:05] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: I dont know, if I r-install windwos, will it work again? or will it keep booting to grub
[18:05] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: the problem is brub
[18:05] <Hoxx_> grub
[18:05] <Bipul> i have used this command apt-get --download-only install freesweep  to get freesweep_0.90-1_i386.deb but i dont know whear it's location
[18:06] <Guest73207> how do I get the correct version of Wubi?
[18:06] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: ubuntu cant boot without grub
[18:06] <bcbc2> Guest73207: what release do you want?
[18:06] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: but I dont want to boot into ubuntu
[18:07] <Guest73207> the most recent but not the beta
[18:07] <Bipul> i have used this command apt-get --download-only install freesweep  to get freesweep_0.90-1_i386.deb but i dont know whear it's location  < can any one tell me whear is the location of that file
[18:07] <Guest73207> 10.10 I guess?
[18:07] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: the fcked up thing is even without the USB stick that has ubuntu, it STILL goes into grub"
[18:07] <pfifo> lilo
[18:07] <bcbc2> Guest73207: http://releases.ubuntu.com/maverick/ look for wubi.exe on the bottom
[18:07] <Tuubes> ThinT510 can you find it?
[18:07] <nits_hunter> Hoxx_: then u'll just have to re-install the MBR, if you just want to get into windows
[18:08] <Guest73207> thanks!
[18:08] <Hoxx_> nits_hunter: will the windows installation cd have that
[18:08] <pfifo> Hoxx_, you can scandisk /fixmbr in windows i believe
[18:08] <bcbc2> Guest73207: no prob... ps the one on http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ is broken too
[18:08] <Hoxx_> pfifo: Im using XOP
[18:08] <nits_hunter> Hoxx_: +1 for pfifo
[18:08] <Hoxx_> XP
[18:09] <brightspark> Hoxx_, when I installed to usb I made sure to leave the bootloader on the hard disk's MBR and it worked much better.
[18:09] <Hoxx_> I had done this a few times
[18:09] <Hoxx_> for some reason it messed with the HD
[18:09] <kyubutsu> brightspark: precisely
[18:09] <Hoxx_> why this time, and not the otehrs
[18:10] <ThinkT510> Tuubes: http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/wireless-ubuntu-10-10-help-200738581.html?page=3
[18:10] <aelen_v> Do I have to mention, that the mouses themselves are working elsewhere...
[18:10] <kyubutsu> why is it such a trouble to use the usb to boot whichever, i say that makes it for extra security even
[18:10] <pfifo> the final page of the ubuntu install used to ask you if you wanted to install a bootloader, now it ust installs it
[18:10] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: well usb sticks die
[18:10] <ThinkT510> Tuubes: that thread discusses it,  not sure where the driver is though
[18:11] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: you have a date for its impending death?
[18:11] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: no, but the main thing is I wanted to keep ubuntu on the USB only
[18:12] <Hoxx_> and get into windows noramally
[18:12] <kyubutsu> the simple solution is to fix the mbr if windows has more priority for you, that being said, you will probably lose your ubuntu
[18:12] <brightspark> kyubutsu, I wasn't technically supposed to install anything on that machine.
[18:12] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: even if its on the stick?
[18:12] <demonspork> so, xbmc is giving me no end of trouble, it runs really slowly and lags on just about any video
[18:12] <kyubutsu> so, do a normal dual boot installation if you dont want the usb hassling
[18:12] <demonspork> any other media center programs for Ubuntu
[18:12] <ThinkT510> Tuubes: comment #14 has a link to the driver
[18:12] <Tuubes> ikno thanks
[18:13] <subrahmanyam> where can i get the source for wubi ??
[18:13] <subrahmanyam> can i change that wubi according to my wish
[18:14] <pfifo> subrahmanyam, i would google it for you but you should be able to handle that if your a programmer
[18:14] <KINGOFSWORDS> hello
[18:14] <KabelGuy> Hi, King.
[18:15] <pfifo> welcome back KINGOFSWORDS
[18:15] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:15] <KINGOFSWORDS> =)
[18:15] <brightspark> kyubutsu, It's nice to have it behave normally if anyone else gets a hold of it.
[18:15] <Logan_> !google | pfifo
[18:15] <demonspork> !mediacenter
[18:15] <bcbc2> subrahmanyam: https://launchpad.net/wubi
[18:16] <KabelGuy> So, has anybody upgraded to Natty yet?
[18:16] <ikonia> KabelGuy: why ?
[18:16] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: your usb install will be there .. it just wont boot without grub taking over first
[18:17] <demonspork> what other media center applications are availalbe for Ubuntu besides xbmc and MythTV
[18:17] <kyubutsu> the problem is whether you want to keep your usb install or just do what i called 'normal hard disk dual boot'
[18:17] <piero> Hi! I need a driver to sis671 because vesa makes browsing the web too tiring. Anyone knows a good solution for me?
[18:17] <KabelGuy> Thinking about upgrading, but I don't know whether I should just use upgrade-manager -d or just go for a full on new install.
[18:18] <ikonia> KabelGuy: do you want a stable install ?
[18:18] <bcbc2> Hoxx_: boot Ubuntu, install grub to the USB MBR. Then restore the windows boot loader. Then just boot from USB whenever you want Ubuntu. When it's not plugged in, windows boots normally
[18:18] <ikonia> piero: get a better supported card is the honest advice, SIS has poor support in Linux
[18:19] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: follow what bcbc2 suggested
[18:19] <KabelGuy> I don't need a completely stable install, otherwise I wouldn't install beta.
[18:19] <ikonia> KabelGuy: then you should know how to install the beta to best suit your needs
[18:19] <IdleOne> KabelGuy: natty support and question should go to #ubuntu+1
[18:19] <piero> ikonia, the only way I can get a better card is getting a better computer. I'm not going to put my notebook in the trash
[18:19] <Hoxx_> Can I just re-install windows?
[18:19] <KabelGuy> Ok. Thanks. :D
[18:19] <Hoxx_> would that do it?
[18:20] <IdleOne> piero: unfortunately ikonia is right sis has very bad linux support
[18:20] <ikonia> piero: you may have to accept the limitations of the poor SIS card, there are SIS xorg modules, but they are very hit and miss
[18:20] <hardcold_> I got it wokring
[18:20] <hardcold_> that's cool
[18:20] <hardcold_> I can go to sleep with a sense of victory
[18:21] <ikonia> hardcold_: #ubuntu+1 please
[18:21] <ThinkT510> !yay | hardcold_
[18:21] <idefix> I figured out how to make ├®'s
[18:21] <ikonia> as you've been told before
[18:21] <hardcold_> thank you
[18:21] <hardcold_> ^_^
[18:21] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: reintalling windows will probably take MUCH longer than fixing the mbr and adding GRUB to the usb
[18:21] <piero> IdleOne, ikonia: I heard about a mandriva sisimedia driver. But I can not find mandriva's official repositories. That's soo comercial !
[18:21] <pfifo> i make ├® by using the v key... and ctrl
[18:22] <hardcold_> it was tripping up on a folder, so I googled how to create a folder in Ubuntu
[18:22] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: I could do the shorrter way but it sounds complicated
[18:22] <ikonia> hardcold_: #ubuntu+1 - PLEASE
[18:22] <hardcold_> then did that with sudu to where it said a folder was not
[18:22] <hardcold_> and it worked
[18:22] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: it isnt.. just let it sink in .. it'll come to you
[18:24] <Hoxx_> ok so im gettint into ubuntu now
[18:25] <Logan_> ikonia: /remove would have been sufficient, imo
[18:25] <ikonia> Logan_: good job I wasn't asking for your opinion, and you've been asked to stop posting things like that in this channel
[18:25] <Logan_> ikonia: I have?
[18:25] <ikonia> Logan_: yes
[18:26] <IdleOne> Logan_: We try not to discuss op decisions in this channel but if you do have a comment or suggestion you can join #ubuntu-ops or PM the op about it.
[18:26] <Logan_> IdleOne: alright, I'll do that in the future
[18:26] <Hoxx_> How do I install grub to the USB???
[18:26] <Hoxx_> It already has brub on it
[18:26] <IdleOne> Logan_: main reason would be to keep this channel geared towards support
[18:26] <Hoxx_> grub
[18:26] <veggteppe> Anyone that speaks german that could help out with somet?:P p2p
[18:27] <SergioTapia> Hello, I've just installed 7Zip via the Software Center. When I right click a file .rar I can't find the 7zip context menu. Did it install correctly?
[18:27] <Phail_Quail> !de | veggteppe
[18:27] <SergioTapia> In windows when I installed it the context menu was loaded automatically.
[18:27] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: thats good.. now, go fix the MBR on the hard disk where windows is
[18:27] <IdleOne> Logan_: Thanks for understanding
[18:27] <Hoxx_> kyubutsu: do I have to do that in windows?
[18:27] <topaz1> in this room can topics for beta 2 be done?
[18:27] <Logan_> IdleOne: no problem
[18:27] <Logan_> !natty | topaz1
[18:27] <bcbc2> Hoxx_: generally the usb will be /dev/sdb - so you'd install grub2 to it: sudo grub-install /dev/sdb
[18:27] <kyubutsu> Hoxx_: by using the windows install disk , yes
[18:28] <veggteppe> Thanks Phail_Quail
[18:28] <topaz1> i am currently testing on a test system so pls guide me with the appropriate channel pls tnx
[18:28] <Phail_Quail> Bitte schoen, veggteppe
[18:28] <erUSUL> SergioTapia: there should be options to extract the rar in the context menu
[18:28] <bcbc2> Hoxx_: you can pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" to confirm
[18:28] <erUSUL> !rar | SergioTapia
[18:28] <Phail_Quail> topaz1, /j #ubuntu+1
[18:29] <Hoxx_> bcbc2: this is on a laptop which im doing it :)
[18:29] <KINGOFSWORDS> is flash suppose to work on wine? i have 64 bit and instlled 32bit
[18:29] <bcbc2> Hoxx_: ok ?
[18:29] <policyq> KINGOFSWORDS: 64 on 64 worked for me
[18:29] <policyq> hey all is unity designed for netbooks? and if so why's it going on the desktop
[18:30] <Phail_Quail> policyq, Unity is Ubuntu's new desktop environment appropriate for both netbooks and desktops.
[18:30] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh i got 64 bit on ubuntu but i got Firefox on wine and wanted 32bit flas
[18:30] <SergioTapia> @erUSUL: right click> Extract hERE > Unsupported file type.
[18:30] <Steve^> Is it a bad sign if my PC does alot of disk checks on startup?
[18:30] <topaz1> done tnx
[18:30] <topaz1> tnbx
[18:30] <topaz1> tnx
[18:31] <topaz1> over and out
[18:31] <erUSUL> SergioTapia: see the bots response... install unrar or rar
[18:31] <policyq> Phail_Quail: yeah but it's designed for netbookms. netbooks have very different form factor, use cases, and capabilities
[18:31] <rumpe1> Steve^, if it happens on every boot without interruption by pressing c.... maybe there's a hardware problem
[18:32] <pfifo> KINGOFSWORDS, ive always found it easier to use native firefox to get flash, but im pretty sure you cah download the flashinstall.exe from adobe and just run it with wine to get setup
[18:32] <policyq> KINGOFSWORDS: is it 32 bit firefox?
[18:32] <KINGOFSWORDS> pfifo it didnt work with installer
[18:32] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh
[18:32] <Jdar2> For my ubuntu, I can NEVER get flash player archive to install
[18:32] <Phail_Quail> policyq, I fail to see why this boxes Unity into a (netbook-only) corner.
[18:32] <KINGOFSWORDS> how do i check?
[18:33] <pfifo> Jdar2, put flashpayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins
[18:33] <Steve^> rumpe1, it's not everytime but it seems very often and it takes forever. I'll keep an eye out thanks
[18:33] <Jdar2> Ok, But i uninstaled linux anyways, it took put my hole HDD
[18:33] <runawayhacker> hey guys. Can anyone recommend a good tool to manage/administrate users kinda like active directory? I nee to lock down some accounts
[18:34] <pfifo> KINGOFSWORDS, that could be a problem to install then most windows software isnt flexible about installing like linux stuff
[18:34] <policyq> Phail_Quail: well maybe i'd be more comfortable if it were designed for desktops or designed for both desktops and notebooks. i mean just one apparent consequence is the constraints that pour into the desktop implementation from the netbook perspective that is a bit of a turnoff, that is the restrictions on configurability. that stuff is sort of necessary for netbooks but not not needed for the desktop
[18:34] <policyq> *constraints
[18:34] <KINGOFSWORDS> hmmm
[18:34] <Phail_Quail> policyq, This needs to move into #ubuntu-offtopic.
[18:34] <tensorpudding> runawayhacker: lock how exactly?
[18:35] <rumpe1> Steve^, too shorten the usual checks an idea would be to transfer the stuff you seldom need on an extra partition, which you only mount, when you need it...
[18:35] <SergioTapia> Is there a way to disable all these password prompts. It's my computer, I know what I'm doing. Every time I want to do something it gets in the way.
[18:35] <policyq> Phail_Quail: i agree and i'm here
[18:35] <pfifo> SergioTapia, you can ise visudo to edit your sudoers file to not require a password
[18:35] <erUSUL> runawayhacker: http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/27/how-to-lock-down-gnome/ http://www.linux.com/archive/feed/62060
[18:35] <Phail_Quail> SergioTapia, you can NOPASSWD it.
[18:36] <runawayhacker> tensorpudding : not able to view connections, lock out of certain programs, not allowing to change his own password
[18:36] <rumpe1> SergioTapia, it's called security and disabling is not really a good idea
[18:36] <Phail_Quail> policyq, I am there
[18:36] <SergioTapia> This is a VM with snapshots, if I break something I can revert.  It's his computer and he knows what he is doing. o.O
[18:36] <tensorpudding> that sounds a lot more like MAC
[18:36] <rumpe1> Phail_Quail, lol
[18:36] <Phail_Quail> . O (Famous last words)
[18:37] <runawayhacker> erUSUL thanks man. That's pretty close to whta I was looking for
[18:37] <erUSUL> runawayhacker: google "lock down gnome" or "gnome kiok mode" should give a few more results
[18:37] <tensorpudding> i'm pretty sure apparmor handles that
[18:38] <runawayhacker> erUSUL yeah. guy keeps looking at porn and slowly keeps losing his priviledges :)
[18:39] <HeidarG> I am setting up Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Dell insprion and having problems with a pcmcia wireless card from Ralink I can see the card in a dropdown list of networks as disabled. Any ideas for me to try??
[18:39] <pfifo> why not just block adult stuff and take away his rope to beegin with
[18:39] <Phail_Quail> runawayhacker, 1) Remember this is a family-minded support chat so try to remain candid in your details. =D 2) Verbally warn him, if he continues to violate just delete his account
[18:40] <runawayhacker> Phail_Qail Can't really delete  his account,he needs it for remote work, so I'll keep stripping him down
[18:40] <Tuubes> Hello I need help downloading and installing a working driver for the Billion BiPAC 3011n on ubuntu, can anyone help?
[18:41] <vsingh165> hello

[18:43] <vsingh165> been googling a lot about this card, and it seems to have junk drivers despite costing $60
[18:44] <tensorpudding> bhavesh: that looks like unity, you should ask in #ubuntu+1 after searching launchpad's bugtracker
[18:44] <erUSUL> vsingh165: what chipset does the card uses?
[18:44] <Tuubes> Hello I need help downloading and installing a working driver for the Billion BiPAC 3011n on ubuntu, can anyone help?
[18:44] <vsingh165> @erUSUL: ralink rt61
[18:44] <Sidewinder1> uses?
[18:44] <bhavesh> tensorpudding: no one is replying at ubuntu+1
[18:44] <vsingh165> @erUSUL: it's got the right module loaded (rt61pci)
[18:45] <Sidewinder1> Sorry, couldn't resist...
[18:45] <erUSUL> vsingh165: dunno; i have aralink ( 2500pci ) that works ok. try with newer drivers ┬½ sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-wireless-$(lsb_release -cs)-generic ┬╗
[18:45] <erUSUL> vsingh165: a reboot is neccesary
[18:45] <Roasted> I just installed a network printer, but Ubuntu's test page has been listed as "Processing" for 5 minutes now with no movement from the printer. Any idea?
[18:45] <vsingh165> erUSUL: I've rebooted many many times, still can't get it to behave
[18:45] <vsingh165> erUSUL: funny thing is, my Macbook connects just fine to the exact same access point
[18:45] <erUSUL> vsingh165: the reboot is to use the new driver after installing it
[18:46] <vsingh165> erUSUL: so I know it can't be the network
[18:46] <aelen_v> Complete power off and booting all USB devs unplugged did not help. I would call this a catastrophe!
[18:46] <Tuubes> Hello I need help downloading and installing a working driver for the Billion BiPAC 3011n on ubuntu, can anyone help?
[18:46] <vsingh165> Tuubes: if you want wireless working, Ubuntu really isn't the right OS
[18:46] <vsingh165> Tuubes: there's so much misinformation about it
[18:47] <Sidewinder1> Roasted...Did you install the necessary drivers?
[18:47] <Tuubes> vsigh165 this isn't helping
[18:47] <Tuubes> vsigh165 I had it working on my old 9.04

[18:48] <Sidewinder1> How is it connected? USB, paralell, wireless?
[18:48] <vsingh165> rhizmoe:  there is one here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[18:48] <pfifo> Tuubes, normally you use lspci or lsusb to determine the cards chipset and then google to see which linux driver it uses, thats the overview of the process, if you have a more specific problem give us some details
[18:49] <vsingh165> erUSUL: lemme reboot this machine and try ndiswrapper instead of the rt61 driver
[18:49] <Sidewinder1> If the Mfg. supplies a Linux driver that's the best way to go.
[18:49] <rhizmoe> sss314: no. a process running under a user is not necessarily "logged on"
[18:49] <erUSUL> vsingh165: dunno why are you telling me you are ignoring my advice....
[18:50] <vsingh165> erUSUL: like I've said, rebooting isn't the ix

[18:59] <needhelp> Jordan_U, Sidewinder1:  yes I get a list of EOL-software at the start of the upgrade process. Then I click Close button and Start Upgrade. So it comes to step "Getting new packages", then after a while, I get "Failed to fetch"-errors.
[18:59] <erUSUL> !final | wcchandler
[19:00] <Jordan_U> needhelp: Have you read the link from ubottu about upgrading from EOL releases?
[19:01] <wcchandler> Is the dist-upgrade fairly seemless now?  Last time I tried was back in like 08 when I was trying to upgrade 6.06
[19:01] <StackUnderFlow> I  installed libdvbcsa library - and I used that lib to write a c prog - to encrypt & decrypt -  If I use GCC - how do I link the library ('-l') ? or Do I use 'ld'?
[19:01] <zulgaban> hi
[19:01] <erUSUL> nomadd: what happens if you do ┬½ sudo apt-get install default-jre ┬╗ ?
[19:01] <StackUnderFlow> libdvbcsa lib was installed into /usr/local/lib
[19:01] <lothir> #bzdsquad
[19:01] <pfifo> StackUnderFlow, use pkg-config to get the cflags and libs
[19:03] <demonspork> What are some good media center applications for Ubuntu? xbmc and moovida aren't working out for me (xbmc is too slow and moovida isn't parsing my collection very well, lots of bad entries that it won't let me edit)
[19:03] <nomadd> erUSUL, it installs and fixes everything lol, thank you
[19:03] <wcchandler> Is x86 still recommended over x86_64?
[19:04] <erUSUL> nomadd: weird thing; should just work in your example too. i was hoping to see a usefull error message ;P
[19:04] <pfifo> wcchandler, 64 bit has been working well for me, depends on your needs really
[19:04] <erUSUL> vsingh165: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[19:05] <wcchandler> pfifo: Home theater setup...  very minimal with media support... Only 1 gig of ram
[19:05] <Tuubes> pfifo I'm not using 2 cards sos that is what i'm looking for
[19:06] <pfifo> wcchandler, you definatly have no NEED of a 64bit OS so your free to choose.
[19:06] <kyubutsu> trust me .. 64 bit wont work if your system doesnt support it. otherwise, it's all good.
[19:06] <KSHawkEye> Is there a way to copy all the files within a directory (including folders) into another directory from the terminal?
[19:06] <kyubutsu> KSHawkEye: yes, the copy command
[19:06] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: cp -r folder/ destination/ ?
[19:06] <wcchandler> pfifo: isn't 64 bit slightly faster when reading from RAM?
[19:07] <Phail_Quail> KSHawkEye, cp /path/to/file/* /path/to/where/you/want/it
[19:07] <KSHawkEye> what about moving them? mv?
[19:07] <Tuubes> so pfifo what do i do
[19:07] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: yes
[19:07] <pfifo> wcchandler, if you had more than 4 gigs
[19:07] <erUSUL> |cli | KSHawkEye
[19:07] <erUSUL> !cli | KSHawkEye
[19:08] <kyubutsu> moving a file will not leave a copy of it at its original location.. thus, moved
[19:08] <pfifo> Tuubes, is this a usb dongle?
[19:08] <Tuubes> pfifo yes
[19:08] <lolo3> can someone tell me why i can use printf() without having to #include <stdio.h>? I know this is not the right room but am hoping someone will know c can give me a simple answer
[19:08] <KSHawkEye> mv --help shows no reclusive (-r) command
[19:08] <kyubutsu> "recursive"
[19:08] <KSHawkEye> kyubutsu: thanks
[19:08] <thevishy> !naty

[19:12] <Tuubes> I'm 64bit pfifo does that change a thing
[19:12] <sss314> I am just curios to know if it is possible, If I have two sets of screens and keyboards, to use both as a terminals for the same computer, so two different users can use the computer at the same time
[19:12] <pfifo> it looks like your going to be using ndiswrapper so no, that wont matter

[19:20] <finn> I installed Ubuntu Minimal, it worked well and everything was cool, then as I was installing stuff it apt was saying that I had all these unneeded packages, so I autoremoved them
[19:20] <finn> then I noticed that some of them were important
[19:20] <finn> like gdm
[19:20] <finn> and such
[19:20] <finn> so i reinstalled the ones that seemed important (such as gdm)
[19:20] <finn> but then when i rebooted
[19:20] <finn> gdm doesn't show any users
[19:20] <finn> what do?

[19:25] <finn> pfifo: where do i get them?
[19:26] <pfifo> finn, unless, your running gdm as a normal user? use sudo gdm if you didnt
[19:26] <Sidewinder1> | needhelp you still here?
[19:26] <dannyd> pfifo: thanks, asked there, no reply, so i guess its not possible, such a pity :(
[19:27] <finn> I don't think Im doing that. How would I check?
[19:27] <Elihai> ???????
[19:27] <erUSUL> pfifo: gdm is run by the init system at boot....
[19:27] <Elihai> ?
[19:27] <name_anthony> exit

[19:29] <pfifo> finn, apt-get check gdm
 ?
[19:29] <finn> pfifo: what's it supposed to say?
[19:29] <finn> it says "Reading package list... done building dependency tree reading state information... done"
[19:31] <pfifo> finn, then it did what it was supposed to, try a `dpkg-reconfigure gdm` and reboot, if it dosent work then you have broke it beyond repair imo

[19:34] <tuhin> what's the difference between "mark for removal and complete removal?
[19:35] <Khisanth> tuhin: stuff like config files
[19:36] <KSHawkEye> Is there a way to remove all files with numbers in them, such as "filename-3" (only the files with -numbers.extension) in a single command? (Sorry if thats a little confusing, I can explain better if needed)
[19:36] <tuhin> is there any GUI for backuppc?
[19:36] <erUSUL> tuhin: complete removal removes conf files in /etc/
[19:36] <erUSUL> !backup
[19:36] <pfifo> KSHawkEye, dont blame me if you get hurt but with what you said `rm filename-[0-9]`
[19:37] <wcchandler> dropbox
[19:37] <Starminn> How can I record from my mic input on Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop?
[19:37] <tuhin> i have backuppc installed , but can't configure it

[19:38] <Starminn> mfaroukg: Doesn't work. IT receives no input
[19:39] <pfifo> Khisanth, i personally would not run any regex i didnt fully understand
[19:39] <tuhin> why backuppc give error evtime i use terminal to install any package??
[19:39] <Khisanth> but that isn't a regex anyway!
[19:40] <pfifo> wildcards whatever its called, i still wouldnt use it with out knowing ;)
[19:40] <alpha__> Hi, I have ubuntu installed and would now like to free about 10 gigabytes in my harddrive in order to install windows (dual boot). What's the best way to create this 10 GB partition without destroying ubuntu?
[19:40] <tuhin> use gparted
[19:41] <mfaroukg> Starminn : i had a problem and could find solution in :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1582088
[19:42] <wcchandler> Ubuntu's startup disk creator -- can't use bt4-r2 but I can use Debian Squeeze's net install...  Wow.
[19:42] <alpha__> tuhin: Can I do that while ubuntu is running or do I need to get a live cd?
[19:43] <guntbert> alpha__: watch out, installing windows will overwrite your grub2 - so  before you install read how to recover it
[19:43] <koichirose> pfifo, I can't resolve the dependencies to compile php5 :/
[19:43] <guntbert> alpha__: you need a live CD
[19:43] <pfifo> koichirose, ouch, since your eol that could be very difficult, you pretty much HAVE to upgrade
[19:44] <koichirose> pfifo, :/// no other way?
[19:44] <hdpb> forked-daapd is not picking up all the songs in my library. Anyone have success with it?
[19:44] <volve> hey all, anyone had experience diagnosing why Xvfb runs on a headless server but any x apps fail to show a window on my client's x server? :/
[19:44] <Alexander_> What is the command to become root in the terminal?
[19:45] <alpha__> guntbert, thank you! I imagine restoring the boot manager should be able to be done through the live cd, right?
[19:45] <erUSUL> !sudo | Alexander_
[19:45] <mfaroukg> how switch the ubuntu from desktop to notebook and vis versa without reinstalling from live CD ?
[19:45] <Dr_Willis> mfaroukg:  what do you mean from desktop to notebook?
[19:45] <guntbert> alpha__: yes, but familiarize yourself with the process before you install windows
[19:45] <K350> how do I start/stip my internet connection from the terminal?
[19:46] <wcchandler> pfifo: is there a .deb package from debian he could use?
[19:46] <pfifo> koichirose, you can get the debs packages by hand but php could require 20-30 of them, maybe more, bot regular packages and *-dev. it would be ALOT of work, and I mean ALOT.
[19:46] <coz_> mfaroukg,  if the netbook edition is already installed,,, log off  and just before you hit enter after putting in your password,, go to the Sessions pull down and choose netbook
[19:46] <guntbert> alpha__: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[19:46] <pfifo> wcchandler, yeah, i gave him the options earlier
[19:46] <wcchandler> Got ya, had trouble finding the previous convo
[19:47] <Starminn> mfaroukg: Surely there is a better way? Besides, all fo those people had issues on a laptop. Mine is a desktop, so setting it to "model=laptop" or "model=mobile" shouldn't do anything for me.
[19:47] <alpha__> guntbert, thanks!
[19:47] <KSHawkEye> I have a bunch of files in a directory that have the same extension,  I need to remove all the ones with without -numbers.extension and keep the ones that are "filename-number.number.extension". Is there a way to do this with the terminal? (The problem i see is that i can't select all without numbers, I wish I knew of some without option).
[19:47] <koichirose> pfifo, I tried adding the dotdeb repository ( http://www.dotdeb.org/instructions/ ), but it won't notice it and won't let me upgrade.
[19:47] <zlobozel> http://www.bsod.ro/ geek stuff :D
[19:48] <guntbert> alpha__: Good luck :-) and back up your data before starting anything :)
[19:48] <mynameistux> !ubotto permissons
[19:48] <mfaroukg> Dr_Willis : when we install the ubuntu there is two options and i think coz_ telling some info

[19:48] <mynameistux> !chown
[19:48] <Dr_Willis> mfaroukg:  GDM lets you select differnt Desktops  correct...
[19:48] <mfaroukg> Starminn : that was not for you sorry
[19:48] <coz_> mfaroukg,  well I believe you have to install the netbook  from synaptic for it to show up in sessions
[19:49] <mynameistux> !chown
[19:49] <guntbert> !askthebot | mynameistux
[19:49] <Starminn> mfaroukg: Ah. That's fine.
[19:49] <pfifo> koichirose, ive never really tried using unofficial mirrors, but since you mention PHP i assume your using a server and realize an upgrade could be painful.
[19:49] <lfaraone> I have a SigmaTel STAC9708,11 (Dell Sound Blaster Live!) on my computer running 10.10. When I try to play sound, in some applications it is at doublespeed and chopy, in others it refuses to play at all. Disabling pulse causes normal sound playback to occur. Any idea what the issue is?
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> mfaroukg:  in the next release it wont matter. :)  they are phaseing out the normal gnome desktop it seems
[19:49] <lfaraone> hois mfaroukg
[19:49] <Starminn> !permissions > mynameistux
[19:49] <koichirose> pfifo, that is correct. I'm on ubuntu server 8.04. Upgrading would mean lots of downtime :/
[19:49] <Steve^> They are phasing out gnome?
[19:50] <mfaroukg> coz_: what is the packaged name please
[19:50] <Starminn> Steve^: In 11.10 it just won't be included by default.
[19:50] <coz_> mfaroukg,  hold on
[19:50] <lfaraone> Steve^: it'll still be available as "Ubuntu Classic", but "Ubuntu Desktop" will be Unity.
[19:50] <KSHawkEye> Is there a way to remove all files within a directory that have a - in the file name? (from the terminal)
[19:50] <Alexander_> hey guys how do i install java?

[19:50] <pfifo> koichirose, i would search for a php5.3 package far and wide, if nothing works, you can try installing all the deps by source, but thats gettting past the point of upgrading being a hassle
[19:50] <mynameistux> you guys are good, cheers for the bot help
[19:50] <coz_> mfaroukg,  if you are on ubuntu maverick 10.10  it is  ubuntu-netbook
[19:51] <KSHawkEye> Woops, correction, Is there a way to remove all files within a directory that don't have a - in the file name? (from the terminal)
[19:51] <koichirose> pfifo, I found the php5.3 package, but I don't know how to force apt-get to use that one...
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> KSHawkEye: with the proper use of regular expressions - yes.
[19:51] <Steve^> lfaraone, http://unity-linux.org/ ?
[19:51] <Starminn> So my computer's mic isn't working. Any help? Ubuntu 10.10 desktop
[19:51] <lfaraone> !unity | Steve^
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> KSHawkEye:  may be safer to make a command to 'move' them to some other dir. to double check you got them all :)
[19:51] <mfaroukg> coz_: got it man you are good
[19:52] <itilious> can ubuntu 32 bit use all my 4GB of system ram?
[19:52] <pfifo> koichirose, dpkg is the tool to install.debs, but if its not the right package or needs deps it will fail
[19:52] <coz_> mfaroukg,  you have to log of and choose that from the sessions pull down menu
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> itilious:  32bit can use up to 4gb. but there are hardware limits where you may not get all of it.
[19:52] <fyksen> Hey! I just installed gnome 3 on my ubuntu 11.04 beta2 box. It workds great. The only problem I got is that the "theme" are ugly.. It can't be right? Check this image: http://tinyurl.com/4yyntrt

[19:53] <KSHawkEye> Dr_Willis: There isn't a lot of them and they aren't super dangerous to delete, but there is enough that I would like to not select each one. How would I remove all of the ones without a '-' in the file name?
[19:53] <lfaraone> !he | Elihai
[19:53] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: if it does what you want remove the echo
[19:53] <mfaroukg> coz_: i know that is  from the button menu on the right
[19:53] <fyksen> lfaraone, ty
[19:53] <pfifo> koichirose, no dpkg is the actual tool for dealing with debs, apt might have an option but i havent used it
[19:53] <coz_> mfaroukg,  ok
[19:53] <itilious> i wanna play starcraft 2 wings of liberty, should i go with x64 then to use the 4gb of ram?

[19:53] <koichirose> pfifo, ok. I'll see if I can upgrade
[19:53] <lfaraone> KSHawkEye: rm `ls | grep -v \-` should work.
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> isoft_:  reset what? theres a undoo feature
[19:54] <lfaraone> KSHawkEye: assuming you're talking about the current directory.
[19:54] <lfaraone> isoft_: "reset"? Undo is "u".
[19:54] <guntbert> isoft_: <ESC> : q!     takes you out of the session without saving
[19:54] <isoft_> like windows's ctrl+z
[19:54] <lfaraone> isoft_: yes, then 'u' in command mode.

[19:55] <th^^> is there any way to make unitys application top many show always like in mac? it's kind of unusable and annoying when it's in hover only.
[19:55] <erUSUL> lfaraone: KSHawkEye o.0!!! never use ls that way
[19:55] <lfaraone> th^^: i'm not sure what you mean.

[19:56] <th^^> file, edit, etc menus only on hover
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> Toph:  enter the user name.. menu should be at bottom of gdm..
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> Toph:  in kdm - button at the left/down from the name entry field.

[19:57] <Toph> Dr_Willis,,, thanks,, let me look
[19:57] <Dr_Willis> soulwarp:  use fdisk or gparted to repartion it.
[19:57] <th^^> this implementation for top application menu is useless :/ it needs to stay there at all times
[19:57] <Starminn> th^^: Natty isn't supported here. Go to #ubuntu+1

[19:57] <Dr_Willis> th^^:  some would dissagree.. it depends on what you are use dto and the display size :)
[19:58] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: no problem
[19:58] <mynameistux> is the debian channel always this slow? I know it doesn't have as many people as this channel, but I'm getting very little help over there
[19:58] <mynameistux> and by that I mean none
[19:58] <soulwarp> Dr_Willis, I've tried that already. The problem is there is a partition or something I'm not seeing. He used some program to put windows xp on a usb and made it bootable.
[19:58] <Toph> Dr_Willis,,, sorry,, i see no options
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> mynameistux:  they are more of a 'help yourself' sort of disrto.
[19:59] <Elihai> ??????.
[19:59] <Elihai> ūĀūĢ ū¬ūĀūĢ
[19:59] <erUSUL> Elihai: we've told you already to go to #ubuntu-il
[19:59] <soulwarp> Dr_Willis, I've formatted it twice now. One quick erase, then a full format.
[19:59] <jelg> hello.. searching for a good/best audio sampler/analyzer/fft program
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> Toph:  no idea. I always see entries for several desktops on my systmes. You did install ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop packages?
[19:59] <Alterno> Hi
[19:59] <Alterno> I have a question
[19:59] <hdpb> Anyone have luck using mt-daapd or forked-daapd on ubuntu
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> soulwarp:  repartioning is differnt then formating...
[19:59] <lfaraone> mynameistux: we can't help you with DebianŌĆ”
[19:59] <Alterno> how can I upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 beta 1 to ubuntu 11.04 beta 2
[19:59] <Alterno> how can I upgrade from Ubuntu 11.04 beta 1 to ubuntu 11.04 beta 2?
[19:59] <erUSUL> !final | Alterno
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> Alterno:  same as you upgrade normally.
[20:00] <fr00g> Why does my blender window look like this: http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/6089/screenshot012i.png? (i'm on ubuntu 10.10) if blender is on top of another window, regardless of the bg color in blender, the blender windows are transparent
[20:00] <lfaraone> Dr_Willis: it depends, the expected level of clue is higher, but I've gotten decent assistance at least in the development channels.
[20:00] <QuiSe> Anyone in here tried inSSIDer ? or have a reference to were I can talk to them?
[20:00] <Alterno> so I just have to use the update manager, right DR willy ?
[20:00] <Toph> Dr_Willis,,, i initially installed unbuntu with gnome,, i assume I installed all the Kubuntu-desktop packages,, perhaps I didn't
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> Toph:   it may of missed some files/packages.
[20:01] <Steve^> oh now I'm very excited about 11.04 :)  Unity looks great!
[20:01] <pfifo> fr00g, looks like an opengl overlay problem, check your python and display drivers
[20:01] <Toph> Dr_Willis,,, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-Desktop  should do it?
[20:01] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: I got one more, is there a way to rename all files titled "filename-numbers.numbers.numbers.dll" to just "filename.dll" (effectively removing the . and - and numbers). eg: avcodec-52.119.1.dll to avcodec.dll with several files
[20:01] <Steve^> Think I might even try out a beta
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> Toph:  yep
[20:02] <Toph> ok
[20:02] <soulwarp> Dr_Willis, I'm not sure how re-partitioning it will help me find a boot sector I can't see with gparted
[20:02] <Elihai> ?
[20:02] <hdpb> Alterno: If you are running Natty now, yes, simply using update manager will work.
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> soulwarp:  a boot PARTITION? or a boot record on teh MBR? You can overwrite the MBR with a proper dd command.
[20:02] <Dr_Willis> soulwarp:  reformating does not normally touch the MBR.
[20:03] <soulwarp> Dr_Willis, Maybe that's what I need
[20:03] <basyirstar> hello
[20:03] <lfaraone> soulwarp: if you're trying to boot Linux, use syslinux to overwrite the MBR.
[20:03] <lfaraone> !syslinux
[20:03] <QuiSe> What is the difference between WLAN0 / MON0 / IWLAGN ?
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> soulwarp:  if the drive is empty, you could use dd to 'zero' it out eraseomg the mbr and repartion.
[20:03] <lfaraone> Dr_Willis: creating a new disk label would work too, right?
[20:03] <Alterno> I have a new question and sorry for asking this on this channel, don't want to get anyone angry... but how can I boot ubuntu using windows boot loader instead of grub?
[20:03] <basyirstar> can someone help me to configure samba?
[20:03] <Dr_Willis> lfaraone:  not that i know of.. a label is on a filesystem. not the mbr
[20:04] <soulwarp> Dr_Willis, I'll try that
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar:  its documented in a great many places/books/ - you got a specific issue?
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc

[20:06] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  err..  You can run firefox in ubuntu  and have flash goijg.. with no wine at all..
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  its rather straight forward to get going...
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> compared to trying to do things via wine.
[20:07] <KINGOFSWORDS> flash goijg?
[20:07] <KINGOFSWORDS> i have firefox with 64 bit flash in ubuntu
[20:07] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get install flash-plugin (or somthing like that) and it installs

[20:07] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  Hmm. what game is this?
[20:07] <pfifo> s/cods/codecs/

[20:08] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: gta 4 doesn't need flash
[20:08] <KINGOFSWORDS> it needs directX 9 as well not sure if i need that 4 wine thou
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  time to check the wine app database I think
[20:08] <KSHawkEye> Is there a way to remove the numbers from a filename? (renaming file-1.2.3.dll to just file.dll) but for all files in that directory?
[20:08] <ikonia> Dr_Willis: wise words
[20:08] <Dr_Willis> !appdb
[20:08] <KINGOFSWORDS> it says on the readme file gta needs flash for soemthing
[20:08] <DemoOn> what was the command so grub would find windows?
[20:08] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: it doesn't,
[20:09] <KINGOFSWORDS> wine appDB says gta4 is garbage/silver and bronze but ive also seen gta4 installed in gentoo on youtube#
[20:09] <ikonia> !appdb
[20:09] <koffeehaus> does anyone know how to change chromium's selection colour to orange when a theme is enabled
[20:09] <aelen_v> My mouse and synaptics completely stops working after gdm logs me in. Loading and unloading with kernel module psmouse does not help.

[20:10] <itilious> anyone here successfully playing starcarft via WineHQ on ubuntu 10.04?
[20:10] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: I wanted to read it myself
[20:10] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: I wouldn't bother trying, the results are terrible according to the appdb
[20:11] <bou> is this channel appropriate for xubuntu questions?
[20:11] <pfifo> KINGOFSWORDS, last night, like i said, i couldn't get gta4 working, and im pretty good with wine. your better off using windows
[20:11] <ikonia> bou: it is, and #xubuntu is also
[20:11] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh but i cant dual boot as ive got ubuntu installed 1st
[20:11] <Dr_Willis> bou:  here or #xubuntu
[20:11] <bou> thanks
[20:11] <ikonia> KINGOFSWORDS: install windows second, you can do that
[20:11] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  you can dual boot even then.
[20:11] <KINGOFSWORDS> i cant install windwos 2nd is way too tricky and theres not tutorial
[20:11] <Dr_Willis> just make a backup boot usb thing. or learn how to repair grub.. or both.
[20:11] <Starminn> So my computer's mic input isn't working. Just trying to simply record something. Any help? Ubuntu 10.10 desktop.
[20:12] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  theres proberly guides.. and it souldent be too hard if you got a spare unused partition.
[20:12] <KINGOFSWORDS> i cant even uderstand gparted let alone start with the grub
[20:12] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  spend time lerning gparted then  instead of playing games.. :)
[20:12] <KINGOFSWORDS> mate theres pages and pages of guide for gparted and i dont understand any of it
[20:12] <Dr_Willis> make a ntfs parittion at the end of the drive.. start windows installer.. tell it to go there..
[20:13] <KINGOFSWORDS> Dr_Willis its not a case of instead
[20:13] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  start with the wikipedia pages on disk partions i guess.
[20:13] <KINGOFSWORDS> un aloocated space on my hdd is 1meg
[20:13] <Dr_Willis> disk partioning is such a neat topic.
[20:13] <KINGOFSWORDS> i need 32gb
[20:13] <timmac> Hello there, can someone help me with installing natty from a usb? it goes fine and then tells me it can't mount sys/mount/debug
[20:13] <KINGOFSWORDS> i cant get that with out losing everyitns
[20:13] <timmac> and then a whole load of other stuff it can't mount
[20:14] <KINGOFSWORDS> pfifo how come some ppl have got it working on wine?
[20:15] <chrome_> what's the best p2p tv application out there?
[20:15] <Dr_Willis> timmac:  see #ubuntu+1  for natty.. and sounds like a bad cd/dvd/usb install
[20:15] <Dr_Willis> chrome_:  what does a p2p tv app do exactly?
[20:15] <basyirstar> hi
[20:15] <KSHawkEye> Is there a way to remove the numbers from a filename? (renaming file-1.2.3.dll to just file.dll) but for all files in that directory?
[20:16] <basyirstar> can someone help me to configure samba?
[20:16] <Dr_Willis> KSHawkEye:  creative bash scripting..
[20:16] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> hello i have a file.img which is a dd copy of a ntfs partition, i need it to be shown as a device for the undelete / file recovery progams to run, is this possible?
[20:16] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar:  configure it to do what..
[20:16] <flower> I like to get my ATI HD Radeon 5000 working as dual screen on lucid, but it doesn't work
[20:16] <Dr_Willis> asdfasdfasdfasdf:  you can mount it via the loop feature of mount. it is a PARTITION and not a whole drive image? that makes it easier
[20:16] <Dr_Willis> !iso
[20:17] <sss314> I've just updated linux header files and restart and now I have a black screen
[20:17] <Dr_Willis> asdfasdfasdfasdf:  sudo mount -o loop -t ntfs filename mountpoint
[20:17] <vanguard> what is the practical difference between ssh -Y and ssh -X?
[20:17] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> Dr_Willis, yes i did that and mounted it successfully to my mnt/ but programs whine that it is a directory.
[20:17] <Dr_Willis> vanguard:  i think -Y is for secure networks, and uses some differnt encryption scheme.
[20:17] <Dr_Willis> asdfasdfasdfasdf:  what program?
[20:18] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> Dr_Willis, unless there is a way to know what loop device mount created, like /dev/loopdevicethatholdsthefile :)
[20:18] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> Dr_Willis, ntfsundelete
[20:18] <Dyinglight> hello
[20:18] <KINGOFSWORDS> well can i just install windows and get rid of linux but keep my files?
[20:18] <Dr_Willis> try teling it the filename asdfasdfasdfasdf  perhaps.
[20:18] <trik> when I download the VMware .bundle file, and run sudo sh vmware.........bundle I get "Mware-Player-3.1.4-385536.i386.bundle: 110: Syntax error: newline unexpected
[20:18] <trik> "
[20:18] <vanguard> KINGOFSWORDS: probably not, where do you have your files installed
[20:19] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  backup your files.. restore them
[20:19] <treebeen> KINGOFSWORDS: no, linux is like a cancer, you can't get rid of it ;)
[20:19] <tensorpudding> KINGOFSWORDS: if your files are on the linux partition, probably not
[20:19] <tensorpudding> KINGOFSWORDS: you'll want to back them up first
[20:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> ok
[20:19] <chrome_> Dr_Willis: allows one to see tv through the web
[20:19] <vanguard> KINGOFSWORDS: Do your backup on a FAT32 or NTFS Partition, otherwise Windows will not be able to read it
[20:19] <Dr_Willis> chrome_:  tv.com does that also. :)
[20:19] <Dyinglight> How come it does not boot off my flash drive with linux when i have set the boot prefrence to removable dev.
[20:19] <KINGOFSWORDS> where do i create partition? on unallocated space?
[20:19] <HeidarG> how can i enable wireless networking
[20:19] <Dr_Willis> Dyinglight:  some pcs have issues with some flaash drives.. or the drive was not made properly.
[20:20] <KINGOFSWORDS> i dont backup vanguard
[20:20] <vanguard> KINGOFSWORDS: if you have unallocated space, that is fine, use an external drive otherwise
[20:20] <pfifo> KINGOFSWORDS, the gentoo community is composed of some real linux gurus, they probbally modified the wine sources to work better, or used some other tricks.
[20:20] <sss314> I've just updated linux header files and restart and now I have a black screen, but I know apache is running cause I connect to it with another computer. Any help?
[20:20] <KINGOFSWORDS> right i have neither
[20:20] <trik> why on earth would you want to uninstall linux and download windows??? that is just crazy.
[20:20] <KINGOFSWORDS> so i cant dual boot then?
[20:20] <Dyinglight> Iv done it before though and i used the software recommended on the site to make it
[20:20] <KINGOFSWORDS> cuz a headache to get working
[20:20] <vanguard> KINGOFSWORDS: you *might* be able to shrink your partition and create enough space for windows partition
[20:21] <KINGOFSWORDS> shrink in gparted?
[20:21] <Starminn> So my computer's mic input isn't working. Just trying to simply record something. Any help? Ubuntu 10.10 desktop.
[20:21] <KINGOFSWORDS> i need at least 30 gig
[20:21] <vanguard> KINGOFSWORDS: might work
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> KINGOFSWORDS:  if you dont backup.. then your datas aparently not worth keeping.. just delete it..
[20:21] <KINGOFSWORDS> vanguard i only want to install gta4 which is 14gbs
[20:21] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> Dr_Willis, no it says failed to scan device
[20:21] <vanguard> Starminn: did it ever work? You might have to turn up the volumes in "pavucontrolk"
[20:21] <Dr_Willis> since a hard drive could die at any time..
[20:21] <KINGOFSWORDS> i have nothing to back up on to
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> asdfasdfasdfasdf:  no idea then. ive never undeleted from ntfs.
[20:22] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> Dr_Willis, okay thanks :)
[20:22] <Starminn> vanguard: Not in Ubuntu AFAIK. Back when I used Windows XP the mic worked, though. Seems like Ubuntu just doesn't know what to do with tit.
[20:22] <vanguard> Dr_Willis: I guess he/she has never lost data before ...
[20:22] <KINGOFSWORDS> im not just gonna delete everything cuz i have no back up device
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> vanguard:  yep.
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> vanguard:  found 3TB external USB on sale the other day for like $130
[20:22] <vanguard> Starminn: try pavucontrol, that did the trick on my Ubuntu 10.04 before. There are two mic channels, one was on 0% for some reason
[20:22] <Dr_Willis> vanguard:  and now its full. :)
[20:23] <treebeen> asdfasdfasdfasdf: it seems to need a device, try this: sudo losetup /dev/loop0 <img>
[20:23] <vanguard> Dr_Willis: harddisk prices are just crazy low :D I spent $300 for 500GB in 2007 ...
[20:23] <ZombieJuice> what you got on there vanguard?  pr0n?
[20:23] <vanguard> ZombieJuice: A Mac OS X installation :)
[20:23] <Dr_Willis> vanguard:  yep. ssd's are getting close to the $1 a GB range ..
[20:23] <ZombieJuice> kek
[20:23] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> treebeen, ok
[20:24] <vanguard> Dr_Willis: I filled 200GB in a day with a high speed camera at work xD
[20:24] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis:
[20:24] <erealz> hey everyone
[20:24] <vanguard> erealz: hi
[20:24] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar: ......
[20:24] <ZombieJuice> hi
[20:24] <treebeen> asdfasdfasdfasdf: then use the device with ntfsundelete
[20:24] <erealz> i need some help im trying to figure out what im doing wrong
[20:24] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis: how to set quota for samba
[20:24] <erealz> it sound simple but it not working
[20:24] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar:  no idea. proberly a setting in smb.conf thats detailed in all teh samba docs that are around.
[20:24] <Elihai> ?
[20:24] <PauseBazinga> quick question on a fresh install, I've seen this happen on a couple of *buntus now:  Why, when I erase my disk and install a fresh copy of Ubuntu, do I sometimes still see the wallpaper from the old/deleted OS flash on the screen before the new OS starts?
[20:25] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis: thanks
[20:25] <Toph> Dr_Willis,,, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop began the process ok, but came to a halt with 'could not resolve 'ca.archive.ubuntu.com''. Any suggestions?
[20:25] <erealz> ctrl+a shift S
[20:25] <erealz> to split a terminal window right
[20:25] <erealz> but it not working
[20:25] <basyirstar> someone help me with configuring samba
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> Toph:  server may be down/updateing
[20:25] <vanguard> Toph: try "ping ca.archive.ubuntu.com"
[20:25] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc | basyirstar
[20:25] <vanguard> Toph: see whether you have a general DNS issue or so"
[20:25] <damno> PauseBazinga: no idea. that seems creepy!
[20:25] <gary_inNYC> is there a shortcut key to cycle through tabs in Nautilus?
[20:25] <sss314> How do I manually run fsck?
[20:25] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> treebeen, says device is busy. should i use loop1? :P
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> sss314:  i tend to boot a live cd. to fsck my filesystems. or
[20:26] <treebeen> asdfasdfasdfasdf: yeah, whatever works :)
[20:26] <vanguard> PauseBazinga: do you have a seperate /home partition?
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> 'sudo fsck /dev/XXX'
[20:26] <basyirstar> ubottu: i didn't understand
[20:26] <Starminn> vanguard: No such luck.
[20:26] <Toph> Vanadis,,, failed ping
[20:26] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar:   the samba-doc package. has several books on conigruing samba in it. they would be in /usr/share/doc/ after installing that package
[20:27] <sss314> Dr_Willis, Can I fsck my HDD o which ubuntu is running? or can schedule it in next reboot or something like that?
[20:27] <vanguard> Starminn: you can try "alsamixer" in the terminal, is there any channel down?
[20:27] <PauseBazinga> no kidding damno, it happened on Ubuntu last month when I was installing 10.04 over a deleted 10.10, and it happened just now when I was installing Xubuntu over the deleted Ubuntu
[20:27] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis: oh... i will check it
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> sss314:  you domnt fsck in use/mounted filesystems.
[20:27] <PauseBazinga> I have no seperate partition for /home
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> sss314:  theres ways to make them check at next reboot. but i forget the command.
[20:27] <erealz> anyone have work with the screen command
[20:27] <vanguard> PauseBazinga: then it is strange indeed, did you always erase the disk or reuse the partition like it was?
[20:27] <PauseBazinga> and I also erased the drive via gparted before the installation
[20:27] <KNUBBIG> erealz, yes
[20:27] <erealz> i just saw this youtube video on it
[20:27] <aelen_v> Yeah! Solution: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#Touchpad%20not%20working%20after%20login
[20:27] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  screen has dozens of tutorals out there.. :)
[20:27] <erealz> but the ctrl  a shift S
[20:28] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> treebeen, heh well i could create the device, but ntfsundelete says no files can be recovery :D do you know of any other tool i could try?
[20:28] <damno> SB
[20:28] <erealz> it not spliting the screen and im stuck on stupid dont know why it not working for me
[20:28] <damno> SB
[20:28] <erealz> help
[20:28] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> can be recovered*
[20:28] <PauseBazinga> vanguard: I reused it once, but the installer erases it anyway.  This time I erased the drive, including swap and everything, then  made a new partition table, then installed
[20:28] <aelen_v> Ekiga is very evil software and in my opinion should be banned.
[20:28] <erealz> i know i could use terminator but that isnt the point
[20:28] <erealz> and i do have terminator
[20:28] <Starminn> vanguard: Everything is all the way (I have the GUI for Alsa) and nothing is muted
[20:29] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  split screen in screen i recall has always been a little flakey
[20:29] <erealz> but i want to know how come the ctrl a shift S isnt working for me
[20:29] <Haitham> Hello
[20:29] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  could be some differnt keymaping
[20:29] <erealz> really
[20:29] <gary_inNYC> what's the shortcut key to cycle tabs in Nautilus?
[20:29] <PauseBazinga> vanguard: does gparted have an option to write 0's over the whole drive or otherwise do a "long" format instead of a "quick" format?
[20:29] <damno> Irssi 0.8.15 (20100403) - http://irssi.org/
[20:29] <Haitham> I'm trying to install Ubuntu - fresh new installation

[20:29] <vanguard> Starminn: did you select the right recording device in your application? (other than that, I am out of luck)
[20:30] <vanguard> PauseBazinga: weird, very weird indeed
[20:30] <erealz> piss me off when somthing for one person and not me
[20:30] <Haitham> During Partition manager
[20:30] <Haitham> and so
[20:30] <erealz> i feel like im takeing crazy pills
[20:30] <meganewb> hi, are there any known bugs that stop Empathy from connecting to MSN right now?
[20:30] <vanguard> HeidarG: do you have a USB Keyboard on a old computer?
[20:30] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  theres that byouz (i think) thta is screen with differnt configs also.
[20:30] <Haitham> Nope
[20:30] <Haitham> Laptop's keyboard
[20:30] <vanguard> Haitham: strange, normally they never fail I thik
[20:30] <Starminn> vanguard: Bleh! So now my mic is working but it's outputting sound through my speakers live instead of recording it.
[20:30] <erealz> byouz?
[20:30] <Haitham> I tried restarting, 2 times
[20:30] <erealz> never herd of it?
[20:30] <Haitham> Still.. Keyboard is off
[20:31] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  its  somthing added to the repos a few releaswes back
[20:31] <PauseBazinga> vanguard: it's more of an annoyance I guess, I just can't be confident that other "stuffs" isn't lingering around when it does that.  I'll do some more googling, happy tech supporting ;)
[20:31] <Dr_Willis> byobu
[20:31] <Dr_Willis> no z :)
[20:31] <Dr_Willis> !info byobu
[20:31] <meganewb> well, it's saying "Disconnected - No reason specified" any idea what it might be?
[20:31] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> treebeen, okay thnx
[20:31] <vanguard> Starminn: that is a sep in the right direction :D Maybe you have it looped-back or so?
[20:31] <meganewb> I can connect via Pidgin so I don't think it is a firewall fault
[20:31] <damno> !tab
[20:31] <treebeen> asdfasdfasdfasdf: np
[20:31] <damno> ubottu is funny
[20:31] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> another question how can i invoke gnome searching tool from terminal?
[20:32] <damno> :)
[20:32] <arand> erealz: It's not the terminal emulator that is somehow cathich the keystroke then?
[20:32] <HeidarG> vanguard: im have problem with a wifi card on a laptop
[20:32] <bonhoffer> it looks like i have a webserver running, how do i find the pid?
[20:32] <bonhoffer> lsof right?
[20:32] <Haitham> Hmm, so guys - any ideas?
[20:32] <vanguard> asdfasdfasdfasdf: you can use "locate foobar" to do this
[20:32] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  ctrl-a S did split here AFTER i added a new screen session with  ctrl-a A
[20:32] <vanguard> HeidarG: what problem - which laptop - why me?
[20:32] <treebeen> tmux ftw
[20:32] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> vanguard, yes or use find too, but i havea thing with GUIs :D. is it possible to invoke it from terminal?
[20:33] <Starminn> vanguard: I'm not great with this stuff, man. ;) I've just got my amp's output jack plugged right into my desktop's input jack. :) To me, that should work.
[20:33] <PauseBazinga> bonhoffer: I usually find it with "top" or "pidof [whatever the process name is]
[20:33] <erealz> ctrl-a but start a new window
[20:33] <erealz> ?
[20:33] <meganewb> also just found out that if I try to connect with Empathy it boots me off MSN on Pidgin
[20:33] <Dyinglight1> Who can help me with my issue. How come it does not boot off my flash drive with linux when i have set the boot prefrence to removable dev? I have done it before and i used software listed on the site.
[20:33] <SMG1> hello, can some one tell me how to play quicktime in firefox4 linux?
[20:33] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  oh wait -  ctrl-a c to create
[20:33] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis: nothing help
[20:33] <Dr_Willis> :)
[20:33] <Dr_Willis> then ctrl-a S
[20:33] <bonhoffer> PauseBazinga, i am trying to find the app (apache, unicorn or webrick and i don't know their executable)
[20:33] <damno> gys, try ' man woman ' in  a terminal  :D
[20:33] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar:  You looked at all the Samba-doc books in just a few min?  You checked google for specific samba config examples/quota examples?
 HeidarG: do you have a USB Keyboard on a old computer?  this was your post, i thought it was ment for my networkin questiin
[20:34] <PauseBazinga> Dyinglight1: try pressing F12 on boot (keep tapping it) to get a boot device menu, this happens to me sometimes too
[20:34] <ZombieJuice> question:  i have alot of music files and i use alot of different computers.  ubuntu one vs. amazon cloud?  have you guys used either?
[20:34] <erealz> hold shift for capital C?
[20:34] <meganewb> Does anyone here know anything about Empathy or can tell me where to go for support?
[20:34] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis: its hard for me...
[20:34] <vanguard> ZombieJuice: I use unison for local syning
[20:34] <mad1> i,m beging to hate the revers controles of 10.10
[20:35] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis: i thought i was easy to ask than search
[20:35] <erealz> im feel stupid
[20:35] <Starminn> mad1: System->Preferences->Appearance choose something else
[20:35] <vanguard> asdfasdfasdfasdf: try using typing gnome- and then press tab twice, it might show up there :)
[20:35] <Dyinglight1> F2 is my boot menu
[20:35] <erealz> i dont get why it just wont work for me
[20:35] <PauseBazinga> bonhoffer: I'm in here to find help too, I just saw your question and thought I could help.  what's your over-all issue again?
[20:35] <Haitham> I'm having a problem during Ubuntu Installer (it boots and everything) but my Laptop's Keys aren't functioning meanwhile.
[20:35] <hiexpo> meganerd, use pidgin
[20:35] <erealz> run screen in terminal
[20:35] <Calif> Hi, I was looking at my /var/messages file, in there, I see a few things that I'm not sure how to interpret. In my messages file, I see that Kernel logging has been stopped as of apr 3rd. Right below that I see something a message about rsyslogd - At the same time in syslogd, I see the same two messages, but I also see a bunch of processes were sent TERM signals.
[20:35] <vanguard> Starminn: I am no good either, if you the various sound control things did not give you anything, I do not know anything more
[20:35] <PauseBazinga> dyinglight1: F2 then
[20:35] <Calif> er syslog sorry
[20:35] <Calif> tty1-6 and smbd, andssh (with 'status 255')
[20:35] <erealz> the hit ctrl -a hold shift S for split and nothing
[20:36] <erealz> grrrrrrrrr
[20:36] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> vanguard, well actually i don't have gnome desktop installed. so i wanted to know its name to install it :D
[20:36] <Dyinglight1> pauseblazinga it worked ;-)
[20:36] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar:   i just did a google for 'smb.conf quota' --> http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html
[20:36] <PauseBazinga> dyinglight1: or possibly the USB stick isn't set up correctly.  did you make it with the start-up disk creator?
[20:36] <Starminn> vanguard: Any way to record speaker output then?
[20:36] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar:  they seem to hbe sying.. use the os's quota feature
[20:36] <PauseBazinga> Dyinglight1: sweet!
[20:36] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar:  thats all i know on the topic. :)
[20:36] <kikki> What does boot under gparted, flags column mean?
[20:36] <Diverdude> how do i write a loop in bash which enumerates all files in a folder and call epstopdf for each file?
[20:36] <bonhoffer> PauseBazinga, something was using port 80, i had to find it -- i got lucky and found the pid
[20:36] <erealz> im going to go kill my self now
[20:36] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: if all the files end up in dll --->  for f in *.dll; do mv "$f" "${f%%-*}".dll; done
[20:37] <Calif> I'm just trying to figure out - If I didn't stop it, what did, how do I turn it on? (syslog pkg isn't installed) - Is it likley just from a restart? Why would it not continue after that time?
[20:37] <vanguard> Starminn: hmm, you should be able to use a program like audacity or sound recorder when you tell it which device it should record. Never done that except for Skype
[20:37] <hiexpo> erealz, whats wrong?
[20:37] <PauseBazinga> bonhoffer: good, good.
[20:37] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis: O_O
[20:37] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL:  ctrl-a C for create , ctrl-a S,  but both are in the upper window here.. heh.. :)
[20:37] <mad1> ubuntu one is becoming better
[20:37] <erUSUL> Diverdude: for f in ./*; do epstopdf "$f"; done
[20:37] <erealz> im trying to get somthing i saw on youtube to work for me and it just dosnt
[20:37] <erealz> ill link hold
[20:37] <hiexpo> erealz, what ?
[20:37] <sss314> I'm trying to find fsck log. I have 2 files in /var/log/fsck/ and they both contain "(Nothing have been logged yet)" - Does fsck only log when fixing files or for some reason fsck won't log?
[20:37] <ZombieJuice> how do i browse the network to see other ubuntu machines on the network?
[20:38] <erealz> screen
[20:38] <mad1> foo fighters available now , thats nice
[20:38] <erealz> in terminal
[20:38] <pfifo> youtube tutorials
[20:38] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: tab completion error? :P
[20:38] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  be sure your capls lock dont get on. :)
[20:38] <Dr_Willis> heh
[20:38] <erealz> ctrl-a shift S
[20:38] <Dr_Willis> split screens in screen.. are a bit of a hassle.
[20:38] <erealz> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqysa6oq80o
[20:38] <Haitham> I'm having a problem during Ubuntu Installer (it boots and everything) but my Laptop's Keys aren't functioning meanwhile. Any suggestions?
[20:38] <erealz> it isnt
[20:38] <mad1> when will  napster or rhap be avail for linux thats just bullshane
[20:39] <erealz> it like so fucking simple yet
[20:39] <erealz> run screen
[20:39] <IdleOne> !language | erealz
[20:39] <erealz> sorry
[20:39] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  i can make split screens here.. i just cant get anytying to show up in the bottom split window :)
[20:40] <erealz> you know im glad trying to find out how that i found that terminator tool it awsome but that not the point for me
[20:40] <alpha__> How do I make my Documents folder to link to another folder?
[20:40] <joshmc> dr_Willis erealz: not that another program is desirable but I use tmux, splitting is easier in it :D
[20:40] <erealz> terminator even better
[20:41] <erealz> but again
[20:41] <erealz> not the point
[20:41] <hiexpo> erealz, i was just going to tell you to geterminator
[20:41] <erUSUL> alpha__: see ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file or simply remove the documents folder and make it a link to the folder you want
[20:41] <Dr_Willis> joshmc:  i never can remer that ones name
[20:41] <Dr_Willis> !info tmux
[20:41] <erealz> i would unintall that terminator tool if realy i could do it with linux own built in tools you
[20:41] <erealz> i know bro
[20:41] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis: can u link me to documentation?
[20:41] <erealz> but again
[20:41] <erealz> not that point
[20:41] <ZombieJuice> weird how movie player always starts up when i log into ubuntu
[20:42] <erealz> why wont it work is the question
[20:42] <Dr_Willis> basyirstar:   these docs? ---> i just did a google for 'smb.conf quota' --> http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/smb.conf.5.html
[20:42] <koffeehaus> ZombieJuice check your startup apps
[20:42] <erealz> it the why thats killing me
[20:42] <pfifo> ZombieJuice, you probbally logged out choosing to save settings, and had movie player open
[20:42] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  try it in the console
[20:42] <Calif> Ok, let's try a different angle, If logs, (syslog/messages) were running - until april 3rd, but now they are not, and ubuntu reports 'syslog' command isn't found, and wants to download the pkg. And if I didn't uninstall it. What is likley happening here?
[20:42] <basyirstar> Dr_Willis: thanks
[20:42] <mad1> question : i have an old p4 hp computer,7200rpm udma100 hd and like 1g pc3200, : is 9.10 better for an older slower macn like that or should i upgrade to 10.04/10.10..?
[20:42] <KSHawkEye> http://pastebin.com/uDDXW33n Any ideas? The text below the command explains it
[20:42] <Haitham> My keyboard isn't working with Ubuntu 10.1, not during the installation nor on the 'try Ubuntu' option.
[20:42] <Dr_Willis> mad1:  i would go with newest
[20:42] <Haitham> Laptop's Keyboard*
[20:42] <erealz> why try ctrl a shift S
[20:43] <jordan_> i cant get music on my iphone at all i can pull graphics of it i was tried gtkpod rhythmbox banshee etc
[20:43] <erealz> been pressing that cambo all day
[20:43] <erUSUL> mad1: 10.04 wont be any worse than 9.10 and is a LTS release good for old hardwa as it will be supported longer imho
[20:43] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  you did create a new shell first?
[20:43] <erealz> it weird
[20:43] <erealz> noooo?
[20:43] <tensorpudding> !ubunt+1 | Haitham
[20:43] <erealz> wow
[20:43] <tensorpudding> !ubuntu+1 | Haitham
[20:43] <erealz> you tellling me i have to run screen
[20:43] <joshmc> erealz, I just got here. Whats the question?
[20:43] <jordan_> i have kubuntu 10.10 i have ifuse instgalled libmobile etc
[20:43] <erealz> then start a new window
[20:43] <tensorpudding> err sorry
[20:43] <erealz> then press the cambo?
[20:43] <tensorpudding> that was a fail
[20:44] <mad1> makes sence but I like 9.10 splash screen better and its not broke so I wont fix it.
[20:44] <Haitham> I'm trying to install 10.1 :)
[20:44] <tensorpudding> Haitham: yeah i didn't read it right
[20:44] <erealz> joshmc nothing major i was watching a video on you tube  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqysa6oq80o how to split a terminal window
[20:45] <Haitham> Ooooh well, I've installed & burned 64-bit release..
[20:45] <Haitham> I'm using Win7 64-bit now though
[20:45] <Haitham> Could that cause this bug?
[20:45] <SMG1> hello, how can I watch quicktime apple trailers in Firefox-4 (linux)?
[20:45] <tensorpudding> Haitham: what is your keyboard?
[20:45] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  screen, then ctrl-a c  (for create) then ctral-a S
[20:46] <Haitham> Laptop's keyboard -> Acer Aspire 5553G
[20:46] <erealz> k ill try dr
[20:46] <erealz> hold
[20:46] <tensorpudding> that's pretty strange
[20:46] <Haitham> I've searched about it, many people seem to be working with Ubuntu on this laptop just fine
[20:46] <Dr_Willis> then you somehow move the 2nd terminal to the bottom../ :) no idea how to do that
[20:46] <Haitham> Perhaps I should try 32-bit version.
[20:47] <joshmc> erealz: consider byobu too, a wrapper for screen, which simplifies the window stuff by putting most of it on the F-keys. as for split windows, lemme work on that for a second.
[20:47] <piero> Anyone have experience compiling sisimedia driver ?
[20:47] <coz_> piero,  I do not
[20:48] <pfifo> piero, for compiling problems pastebin the output, and just ask.
[20:48] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  there we go. :) got 3 split windows.. each with a terminal prompt
[20:48] <bonhoffer> is there a way to do a grep -r that exempts a directory from search?
[20:48] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  byobu is mich easier to use :) dont hirt my fingers as much
[20:48] <piero> pfifo, It's a hundred of problems. The driver was wrote for an old xorg version, and does not compile anymore.
[20:49] <erealz> dud you have to it fast
[20:49] <erealz> or somthing
[20:49] <Dr_Willis> piero:  any time i hear 'sis' mentioned.. its always a disaster
[20:49] <basyirstar> linux is so hard... and its more hard when i need to learn it myself
[20:49] <erealz> it not creating new windows or nothing
[20:49] <pfifo> piero, but that isnt really a question.
[20:49] <erealz> oh god i feeel soo so stupid
[20:49] <erealz> grrrrr
[20:49] <spacetiger> how do i downgrade an essential app
[20:49] <Dr_Willis> erealz:  check your key bindings.. try it in the console
[20:49] <Dr_Willis> !pin | spacetiger
[20:50] <mad1> why doesnt mobo manufacturers make it commom knowlwdge that if you ant to run ram at top speed the  have to be completly identical in every way?
[20:50] <joshmc> erealz: for the split use 'Ctrl+a shft+s' of course, but cycle to it with 'ctrl+a ctrl+i'
[20:50] <mad1> the moduals must be exactly the same make and modle
[20:50] <joshmc> erealz:then create a new window down there, 'ctrl+a ctrl+c'
[20:51] <binni> Is it possible to allow more then one program to use a webcam at the same time?
[20:51] <pfifo> mad1, thats not true, you just need the same clocks and cas
[20:51] <joshmc> erealz: switch panes with "ctrl+a ctrl+i" after that.
[20:51] <mad1> ca/s
[20:51] <mad1> cas?
[20:51] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: Hmm, that didn't seem to work, I have no idea where any of the files went
[20:52] <pfifo> mad1, its obivously only going to be as fast as the slowe module
[20:52] <piero> sis_mergedfb.c:269: warning: 'Xfree' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/xorg/os.h:234)
[20:52] <piero> sis_mergedfb.c:309: warning: 'Xalloc' is deprecated (declared at /usr/include/xorg/os.h:221). DAMMIT! It's pretty old!!
[20:52] <erealz> not working
[20:52] <erealz> i give up
[20:52]  * piero will have to pray ...
[20:53] <erealz> pissme off to no end i suar
[20:53] <pfifo> mad1, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cas_latency
[20:53] <Sidewinder1> Don't ever give up!!!
[20:53] <mad1> the internal clock on a 512 and a 1 g make it run at the lowest bios setting not at the top due to the fact that one is 512 and the otherb 1g
[20:53] <Dr_Willis> then you create a terminal in the new windw with ctrl-a C
[20:53] <Dr_Willis> or was it c
[20:53] <Dr_Willis> i recall why i dont use screen
[20:53] <erealz> shit if i dont take brake from this problem ill put my first to my laptop screen
[20:54] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: should just have worked....
[20:54] <erealz> sorry
[20:54] <erealz> im just gett very agitated
[20:54] <IdleOne> erealz: take a break and when you come back please mind your language
[20:54] <pfifo> mad1, to get proper dual-cahn trip-chan you need a kit, mixing and matching isnt going to work
[20:54] <joshmc> Dr_Willis: 'ctrl+a c' for new 'hidden windows'
[20:54] <joshmc> Dr_Willis: pardon, the windows are visible :) just no tabs or anything
[20:54] <mad1> even if they both are 400 they will only run at 333mhz, unless they are both 1g,or 512
[20:55] <ZombieJuice> so apparently i can use amazon cloud service.  but i cannot use the music player because i am in germany..
[20:55] <pfifo> mad1, thats because of them not having the same mmu/tlb
[20:55] <piero> Hi! I'm having problems to build sisimedia driver for X11. Can you help me at http://pastebin.com/DD12hQn1 ?
[20:55] <kazer> hi there
[20:56] <kazer> can anyone help with a hdmi sound ouput?
[20:56] <intick> hi all
[20:56] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: How would it look without being in the directory that it takes place?
[20:56] <Sidewinder1> Hey Kaz
[20:56] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: i've done a few tests here and it works.... evedently if file- is the same in all the files you have a problem in the logic ....
[20:56] <kazer> i have it working using mplayer, but not under gnome
[20:56] <basyirstar> \send
[20:56] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: ?? can you rephrase the question ?
[20:56] <mad1> so they almost have to be 100% identical to get full 400mhz
[20:57] <intick> This syntaxe does not work (what is wrong with it?)    for i in *.JPG *.JPEG;
[20:57] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: The filenames are all different, same for the numbers, it just the format of the filenames that is the same. And I was asking about not being located in directory that it takes place, (not cding into it)
[20:57] <pfifo> mad1, its called a dual channel KIT for a reason... but technically, if your very careful you could pick 2 modules that are not a kit and get the expected result
[20:58] <erealz> dr and everyone else
[20:58] <erealz> thank for at least trying  to help
[20:58] <erealz> for realz
[20:58] <mad1> NOT WITH A DELL $^))
[20:58] <joshmc> erealz: did you try tmux or byobu?
[20:58] <Dr_Willis> ZombieJuice:  gotta love legal licensing issues..
[20:58] <cyphase> anyone know what SignalSender is in powertop?
[20:58] <basyirstar> \msg eyd
[20:58] <erealz> iv never use eather?
[20:58] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: *.dll will expand to the files that end in dll in the current dir so it will run the mv command in all the *.dll files in the directory you were. what it ends up doing depends on the filenames of the dir you were in
[20:59] <erealz> i wouldnt know were to begiv
[20:59] <erealz> sorry begin
[20:59] <erealz> im lost as it is
[20:59] <ZombieJuice> yeah,  I love how companies will not ship to APO addresses (military overseas) even though they send it to somewhere in the states and the military takes it from there.
[20:59] <joshmc> erealz: if you want to use a terminal multiplexer either one of those will suffice. byobu is built on screen as it is.
[20:59] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: "${f%%-*}" takes the string that is in f and removes everything that is after the - including the -
[20:59] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: How would I modify it to do it so that I'm not in the directory but can still run it?
[20:59] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: f=file-1.2.3.dll ; echo "${f%%-*}".dll --> file.dll

[21:04] <clement1ne> i have a directory that is showing up as 'write protected' in win32 but not ubuntu it came from a drive that was screwy, i tried to change perms and such w/ icacls but it didn't help, is there a way i can repair it from ubuntu?
[21:04] <pfifo> mad1, there isnt much of a workaround, even in overclocking its still going to be mismatched.
[21:05] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: It's putting them in ../../ from the path, renaming to win32.dll http://pastebin.com/aqekRRt6
[21:05] <mad1> basicly the kit is the way to go if you want peak performance
[21:06] <Haitham> Still not working. My laptop's keyboard doesn't function while testing Ubuntu or during installation. Any ideas?
[21:06] <pfifo> mad1, yeah thats why they make kits
[21:06] <pfifo> to make it easier to get everything right
[21:06] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: do not see how is that possible... does the path to the dir contains a - ?
[21:06] <mad1> i think crucial is coming up in the world
[21:06] <afirocks> can i please get some help... i downloaded the 10.10 ubuntu that wouldnt download onto my netbook. so i was told to do it with the older version. i went with 9.04 and its giving me the cd-rom error. anyway around that?
[21:07] <afirocks> and talk to me like im two i need step by step directions thanks
[21:07] <pfifo> mad1, crucial has been a leader for years
[21:07] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: Yes, the command that I ran is right there, there is one -
[21:07] <testam3nt> hi all, when i try to send a file from my laptop to my mobile phone via bluetooth, this error popup : The error reported is: The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files
[21:07] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: sorry missed the url
[21:07] <clement1ne> @afirocks did you check to see if your image is not corrupted>?
[21:07] <erUSUL> looking now
[21:08] <afirocks> how?
[21:08] <mad1> kingston has been solid too crucial was known as econo RAM for a long time
[21:08] <KINGOFSWORDS> is there msconfig in wine?
[21:08] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: ok that explains it.... use "${f%-*}" with just one % instead of two
[21:09] <Haitham> Still not working. My laptop's keyboard doesn't function while testing Ubuntu or during installation. Any ideas?
[21:09] <magicianlord> Haitham: function key.
[21:09] <afirocks> mine does.. but it wont go pass the cdrom
[21:09] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: maybe a bad assumption on my part that i t wont be any other - in the path.
[21:10] <Haitham> magicianlord: What about them?
[21:10] <tomekh> anyone runs oracle-xe 10g on ubuntu?
[21:10] <ubuntu_> Hey guys, I want to install Ubuntu, I just had Fedora installed... it created a LVM to install to... GParted says it doesn't support LVM's, does that mean I can't delete it to install Ubuntu?
[21:10] <Calif> Why does ubuntu leave a running pid for things like Nano? I close out using something like cntl z, and then ps aux shows it still has a pid assigned. Why is that?
[21:10] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: Thanks, that did it. Where did you learn that? I would like to know how it works
[21:11] <erUSUL> Calif: ctrl + z does not quit
[21:11] <Calif> Is it just a suspend then?
[21:11] <erUSUL> Calif: crtl + z only stops the app
[21:11] <quentusrex> Anyone familiar with an issue involving dhcp failure to come up on boot? The fix for me has been to manually restart networking with 'sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'
[21:11] <pfifo> Calif, ctrl+zis a suspend, not a close, you want ctrl+c
[21:11] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: the topic in #bash in this network is a fantastic resource
[21:11] <Calif> k
[21:12] <Calif> lemme try it one sec
[21:12] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: the bot there knows about this things and many more
[21:12] <intick> help plz i would like to declare 2 paths in one variable how can i do that ?
[21:12] <pfifo> Calif, fg and bg are used to pull it back out of suspend
[21:12] <erUSUL> Calif: if you are in nano use crtl + x to exit the app
[21:12] <ubuntu_> anyone?
[21:12] <erUSUL> intick: iin shell ? use an array
[21:13] <intick> erUSUL: for shell use, like taht       for i in *.JPG *.JPEG;
[21:13] <Haitham> Still not working. My laptop's keyboard doesn't function while testing Ubuntu or during installation. Any ideas?
[21:13] <pfifo> ubuntu_, you should be able to delete it using standard methods
[21:13] <erUSUL> intick: paths=( /path/to/somwhere1 /path/to/somwhere2 )
[21:13] <erUSUL> intick: *.JPG is a glob not a path
[21:14] <Calif> ok, cntl c didn't work, it just brings up a menu saying something about columns etc, I saw ^X is exit, would that also accomplish it?
[21:14] <ubuntu_> pfifo, so I can just format it to ext4 and install Ubuntu in there?
[21:14] <pfifo> Calif, for nano yes
[21:14] <Calif> o
[21:14] <erUSUL> Calif: as i already told you; yes
[21:14] <Calif> ah
[21:14] <intick> erUSUL: ok sorry then it's glob taht i want in my var
[21:14] <Calif> Sorry I just saw that
[21:14] <Calif> Is it possible to kill all the things running in nano at the same time, as opposed to typing kill pid for each pid?
[21:14] <pfifo> ubuntu, yeah fdisk mke2fs and such shold all be fine if you dont care about the data and such
[21:14] <erUSUL> intick: why would you want the glob in a var? do you want the glob or the result of expanding the glob ?
[21:15] <pfifo> ubuntu_,
[21:15] <erUSUL> Calif: ┬½ pkill nano ┬╗ ?
[21:15] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: Shoot, I actually make a mistake, is there any easy way to change that command to make it rename to filename-1.dll, from filename-1.2.3.dll ? (Removing all but the - and first number?) Or do I need to learn something else?
[21:16] <ubuntu_> pfifo, nope, all the data is already backed up, I just want to install Ubuntu, GParted will work with it right?
[21:16] <Calif> hmm, I tried that - I then do a 'ps aux | grep nano" and it comes back with a whole list of stuff, all the program names in red, and most are procs I did 'kill xxxx' to before in hopes of ending them
[21:16] <pfifo> ubuntu_, if gparted wont delete it use fdisk
[21:16] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: maybe using "${f%%.*}" does the trick
[21:16] <intick> erUSUL: i would like to use "convert" to resize my pictures, somtimes i may have JPEG or PNG files my script works for one extension but can make it working for JPEG, JPG ect ...
[21:16] <Calif> all the ones pertaining to nano of course I mean
[21:17] <erUSUL> intick: for i in *.JPG *.JPEG; <<< this will work
[21:17] <ayecee> !find cgps
[21:18] <Calif> erUSUL- is there another paramter like an asterix at the end
[21:18] <Calif> pkill nano * ?
[21:18] <erUSUL> Calif: no
[21:18] <Calif> if it shows up still doing ps aux
[21:18] <Calif> grep nano
[21:18] <Calif> does that indicate its still running?
[21:18] <pfifo> Calif, try `sudo killall -9 nano`
[21:19] <erUSUL> Calif: dunno; what is the status? it may be zombie
[21:19] <KSHawkEye> erUSUL: Thank you very much for all of your help, that worked
[21:19] <erUSUL> KSHawkEye: no problem
[21:19] <Calif> erUSUL: How do I tell that again?
[21:20] <erUSUL> Calif: "ps aux" output includes that info
[21:20] <intick> erUSUL: it does not work ... it convert JPG but not JPEG ..
[21:20] <erUSUL> is the 7 coulmn
[21:20] <clement1ne> i have a directory that is showing up as 'write protected' in win32 but not ubuntu it came from a drive that was screwy, i tried to change perms and such w/ icacls but it didn't help, is there a way i can repair it from ubuntu? :)
[21:21] <intick> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/594957/
[21:21] <Calif> I see 'tty1, tty2' etc, teh next column has a "T" or a "S+"
[21:22] <erUSUL> intick: quote all your vars "$i"
[21:22] <jb2> Hi -- I'm having trouble with audacious2. It doesn't seem to be saving my plugin choices -- can anyone offer any advice?
[21:22] <treebeen> clement1ne: man ntfs-3g.secaudit
[21:23] <erUSUL> intick: works here
[21:23] <intick> erUSUL: awsome it works now thx :)
[21:23] <erUSUL> intick: note tha linux is case sensitive ....
[21:24] <intick> erUSUL: a last thing about case sensitive how can i disable this for my script ? should i just add JPEG jpeg JPG jpg ect .. in my scrip ?
[21:25] <erUSUL> intick: iirc is ┬½ shopt -u nocaseglob ┬╗ or something like that
[21:26] <Calif> does teh fact the text is red indicate anything regarding zomebie?
[21:26] <clement1ne> treebeen: thank you so much! :D
[21:26] <mosty> eep, since when has ubuntu used case insensitive bash globs?
[21:26] <intick> erUSUL: ok i'll look for that, my main script works thatt's a good thing ^^ thx a lot again mate
[21:27] <pfifo> Calif, maybe `top` would be a bit easier for you to use?
[21:27] <Bipul> http://paste.ubuntu.com/594959/ just tell me whats wrong with this

[21:30] <Bipul> yes but that file is there in that directory pfifo
[21:30] <pfifo> Bipul, no it isnt, you typed -1 and it is -2
[21:31] <Bipul> whear ?
[21:31] <pfifo> freesweep_0.90-2_i386.deb
[21:31] <Sidewinder1> whear?
[21:31] <pfifo> not freesweep_0.90-1_i386.deb
[21:31] <Dr_Willis> tab completion is our friend. :)
[21:32] <Bipul> oh ic
[21:32] <guntbert> Sidewinder1: don't mock people please
[21:32] <kikki> What does the boot column mean when I do fdisk -l?
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> kikki:  if the boot flag is set. Not used a lot these days
[21:32] <Sidewinder1> Won't happen again..
[21:32] <Sidewinder1> I was confused
[21:32] <XGaryG> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10. How do I advance to the 11 whatever version?
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade | XGaryG
[21:32] <erUSUL> XGaryG: it is not out yet
[21:33] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[21:33] <Dr_Willis> XGaryG:  thats the sort of question.. if you have to ask.. you proberly dont need to be testing the beta :)
[21:33] <glucik> jest jakis polak ?;p
[21:33] <gedO> Hi, can anyone know EXT max file name length??
[21:33] <gedO> does*
[21:33] <erUSUL> gedO: wikipedia knows
[21:33] <Dr_Willis> gedO:  there is a max.. but i dont recall how long it is.. very long..
[21:33] <guntbert> !pl | glucik
[21:33] <gedO> erUSUL: soory, but can't find
[21:33] <Dr_Willis> gedO:  try making one and see :)
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> gedO:  i cant recall if its a filename max len. or a path/name max.
[21:34] <erUSUL> gedO: Max filename length, 256 bytes.
[21:34] <Flannel> gedO: 255 is filename, there is no max path length
[21:34] <Flannel> (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems )
[21:34] <Dr_Willis> theres a max bash command line legenth that  can also affect you in some odd cases.
[21:35] <ShapeShifter499> is it possible to "loan" GPU, CPU, and RAM of one computer to another via computer-to-computer connection (like the internet or a cable)? essentially make one big computer through two separate ones
[21:35] <Dr_Willis> ShapeShifter499:  depends on what work you want them to do.
[21:35] <gedO> Okey, thx everyone
[21:35] <Dr_Willis> ShapeShifter499:  thats basically what things like Seti@home are doing for specific calculations.
[21:35] <erUSUL> ShapeShifter499: is called a cluster
[21:35] <mosty> or a grid
[21:35] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, distcc is for compiling like that
[21:35] <jb2> Hi -- I'm having trouble with audacious2. It doesn't seem to be saving my plugin choices -- can anyone offer any advice?
[21:35] <intick> erUSUL: sory i'm back again, when i use for i in *.jpeg *.JPEG *.jpg *JPG  if there is not jpg file for exemple the script works fine but outputs an error saying that it does not find jpg file ...
[21:35] <ZombieJuice> Can i have more than 4 workplaces?
[21:36] <ShapeShifter499> erUSUL, ah... now I know what to google for
[21:36] <intick> http://paste.ubuntu.com/594961/
[21:36] <intick> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/594961/
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> ZombieJuice:  should be able to have dozens of them if you wanted.
[21:36] <erUSUL> intick: shopt -s nullglob
[21:36] <ZombieJuice> I am using Cairo Dock and the switch app only shows 4.
[21:36] <kikki> Dr_Willis: What does the boot flag do?
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> ZombieJuice:  could be alimit of the dock.
[21:36] <erUSUL> intick: iirc is ┬½ shopt -u nocaseglob ┬╗ or something like that <<< for the case question
[21:36] <Dr_Willis> kikki:  marks a partion as being bootable.
[21:37]  * p0int c u 5┬¬
[21:37] <intick> erUSUL: i just have to add this in my script ?
[21:37] <erUSUL> intick: yes
[21:38] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a new magicolor 1690MF printer, could someone help me to get it setup on ubuntu?
[21:38] <ShapeShifter499> Dr_Willis, erUSUL, should this work fine? http://www.webstreet.com/super_computer.htm
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> THE_GFR|WORK:  is it even supported by cups? check cups.org?
[21:38] <piero> How can I identify which driver my xorg is working with since there is no more xorg.conf file and the config was made on the fly?
[21:38] <intick> erUSUL: did it but have more erros than befor .. i've added it and the end is that wrong ?
[21:38] <kikki> Dr_Willis: How can I change it so another partition can be bootable?
[21:38] <Dr_Willis> piero:  there can be an xorg.conf  or you can check the x log files.
[21:38] <erUSUL> ShapeShifter499: as Dr_Willis pointed out a cluster is only helpfull with specific workloads
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> kikki:  its really not needed these days.. grub can boot non flagged as bootable parittions
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> kikki:  gparted or fdisk can set the flag.
[21:39] <kikki> Dr_Willis: I cannot boot my ubuntu partition anymore or any of my windows partitions. Could that be the issue?
[21:39] <Khisanth> piero: how about Xorg log?
[21:39] <Dr_Willis> kikki:  hard to tell.  do you get a grub menu at all?
[21:39] <piero> Khisanth, I'm trying it right now..
[21:40] <ShapeShifter499> erUSUL, hmm...
[21:40] <erUSUL> intick: put it at the beggining of the script
[21:40] <erUSUL> ShapeShifter499: what are you planning to use them for? the two machines
[21:41] <piero> Khisanth, Dr_Willis: I can't find which drive xorg is using now at log in /var/log.
[21:41] <kikki> Dr_Willis: My grub menu disappeared.
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> willis@Element:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Driver
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> kikki:  i would reinstall grub firstly. and see.
[21:42] <Bipul> Hy but there is problem when i use this dpkg -x freesweep_0.90-1_i386.deb work  , then  mkdir work/DEBIAN ,i have been asked that n the 'DEBIAN' directory, create a file named 'control' http://paste.ubuntu.com/594963/ that contain this pice of data
[21:42] <erUSUL> !uuoc
[21:42] <Dr_Willis> !info freeswap
[21:43] <ShapeShifter499> erUSUL, a linux server for files and stuff (maybe even a website) and for a xserver (so I can run some low-ram applications when I need to on another computer possibly by using a linux on a usb drive)
[21:43] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a new magicolor 1690MF printer, could someone help me to get it setup on ubuntu?
[21:43] <XGaryG> Nevermind.  I found it.   ;-)
[21:43] <intick> erUSUL: Image_resize: 3: shopt: not found   .... http://paste.ubuntu.com/594964/
[21:43] <Dr_Willis> intick:  you are using bash and not 'sh' for your script?
[21:43] <piero> xlogs says it is loading a SiS module, but after it its loads a vesa module.. ?
[21:43] <l_r> hello
[21:43] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a new magicolor 1690MF printer, could someone help me to get it setup on ubuntu?
[21:43] <l_r> do you know oddcast text to speech?
[21:44] <Khisanth> cat abuse :)
[21:44] <cyphase> anyone know of a better remote desktop solution than VNC?
[21:44] <intick> Dr_Willis: i'm a begginer :S dindt even pay attention to what i'm using as language ..
[21:44] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a new magicolor 1690MF printer, could someone help me to get it setup on ubuntu?
[21:44] <mosty> cyphase, some people like nx
[21:44] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, to use a cluster setup for a webserver you would probbally want to go with proxies instead, something like squid
[21:45] <intick> Dr_Willis: should i write #!/bin/sh ?
[21:46] <oscargot> Is KDE supposed to run a bit slower than GDE? I think Im noticing a difference in responsiveness, also, how does one activate expo in KDE ?
[21:46] <erUSUL> intick: works here ... shopt is a bash builtin...
[21:47] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo, this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squid_(software)
[21:47] <THE_GFR|WORK> hey everyone I have a new magicolor 1690MF printer, could someone help me to get it setup on ubuntu?
[21:48] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, yeah thats it.
[21:48] <l_r> oscargot, last time i tried kde was really slower
[21:48] <intick> erUSUL: same script woked for you ? ..  it works for me also but i'm stil having this error when no JPG files are present in my folder
[21:49] <ShapeShifter499> erUSUL, clustering, is it good for what I had in mind to use it for?
[21:49] <erUSUL> intick: no same a similar one
[21:50] <erUSUL> ShapeShifter499: for your description you are going to use the two machines as separate. one acting as server the other client so i do not see why you need any clustering at all
[21:51] <jr01> Hi, where i install grub of a 2. installation of ubuntu, mbr ? or in the root-partiton of the 2. installation?
[21:52] <ShapeShifter499> erUSUL, consolidate the ram, cpu, and gpu for hopefully a faster overall system...
[21:52] <erUSUL> intick: i have both nocaseglob and nullglob enabled
[21:52] <Haitham> My laptop's keyboard doesn't function while testing Ubuntu or during installation. Any ideas?
[21:52] <erUSUL> ShapeShifter499: no possible; clusters do not work that way
[21:52] <ShapeShifter499> erUSUL, :/
[21:53] <pfifo> ShapeShifter499, you build a cluster server to take care of a certina task, just 1 single task, like calculating pi to the billionth digit. It dosent work for everyday computer use.
[21:54] <ShapeShifter499> pfifo, ah
[21:54] <ShapeShifter499> hmm
[21:55] <MetaJake> might anyone recommend a solution to Ubuntu installation CD not recognizing any free partitions on my hard drive during the installation process? (windows vista exists on its own partition on the same hard drive but I have made free disk space available for Ubuntu, using windows disk management software).
[21:55] <Haitham> Guys, what can I do to get my laptop's keyboard working during Ubuntu installation or even while trying it out?
[21:55] <erUSUL> ShapeShifter499: or use distcc for compiling in both machines,,,,
[21:55] <Haitham> It\s totally down (the keyboard)
[21:56] <erUSUL> intick: i run this in a folder with only *.c and *.h files and get no error only the expected output http://paste.ubuntu.com/594968/
