[13:23] <aiya> Is anyone has idea how to make shell and give to people all.Just like in shellium(they provide shell for user by free.).
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> wade:  use the 'nvidia-settings' tool. 'gksudo nvidia-settings'
[13:24] <lazarus> gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/panel/default_setup/toplevels/top_panel/size"19" it should work right?
[13:24] <Ghost|BTFH> tastyfish: Yeah, it's a mild improvement, I'd say.  Lucid should be rather sexy when it comes out in about a month.
[13:24] <coz_> wade,   open nvidia-settings
[13:24] <wade> can't do it through there either
[13:24] <Dr_Willis> aiya:  install ssh server. they can then ssh in.
[13:24] <C-S-B-N900> flad: what is the usb stick model again?
[13:24] <flad> C-S-B-N900_ d-link
[13:24] <flad> DWA-140
[13:24] <coz_> wade,  if you open nvidia settings in the terminal with   sudo nvidia-settings  you should be able to write that to the xconfig
[13:25] <aiya> Dr_Willis is that possible to make it in ubuntu and how do i have the space for the user and add user and configure it?/
[13:25] <tastyfish> Ghost|BTFH: I wouldn't call it mild, I remember having to install almost every driver manually, doing alot of stuff in the terminal etc. This time I just installed it on a laptop it shouldn't really have been compatible with last time I checked and almost everything worked.
[13:25] <wade> write what to the config? it only gives me 2 screen resolution options
[13:26] <Dr_Willis> aiya:  be more clear in what you mean.. If you install ssh server.. people can ssh in and get a shell.    From version 6, Karmic is like a whole new OS.
[13:27] <Dr_Willis> !ssh | aiya
[13:27] <Ghost|BTFH> tastyfish: It makes Windows look pointless, and I like that. :)
[13:27] <tastyfish> Ghost|BTFH It sure is, the only thing not working is my wifi button not changing color when I toggle it!
[13:27] <aiya> !scp
[13:27] <Ghost|BTFH> tastyfish: You mean the physical light on the laptop?
[13:28] <tastyfish> Ghost|BTFH: It sure does, I look at my Windoze XP machine from time to time and I just think "what the fuck?" to myself.
[13:28] <aiya> !sshd
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> tastyfish:  ive seen that on other laptops as well
[13:28] <tastyfish> Ghost|BTFH Yeah, A friend recommended trying to do some sort of hardware hack for it but I'm to lazy, the wifi works just not the light.
[13:28] <flad> C-S-B-N900: okey, i wrote that, and after typing my sudo password, a new line just came up. is that usual?
[13:28] <tastyfish> Dr_Willis: I didn't know it was a common problem?
[13:28] <Ghost|BTFH> tastyfish: Yeah, my wife's lappy does the same thing - I don't even consider it an issue when you can just right click and say "Turn off Wireless"
[13:28] <Dr_Willis> tastyfish:  some laptop makers like todo things... oddly :)
[13:29] <C-S-B-N900> flad: do you have a new device in ifconfig?
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> tastyfish:  on one i have. i can turn it off with the switch. but the switch dosent turn itback on.. nor does rebootig :)i have to boot to windows.. use the switch.. then reboot back to linux
[13:29] <wade> ugh
[13:29] <Dr_Willis> tastyfish:  so i never touch that switch now
[13:30] <flad> still eth0 and lo
[13:30] <tastyfish> Ghost|BTFH Haha that's weird... The toggle works though, just not the light :D.
[13:30] <Ghost|BTFH> Dr_Willis: ifup ath0 won't do it either?
[13:30] <tastyfish> Dr_Willis Man that's weird :).
[13:30] <Dr_Willis> Ghost|BTFH:  its wlan0 here... ive not tried it.
[13:30] <C-S-B-N900> flad: in dmesg did you get and info? try unplugging the usb then plug back in and check what appears in dmesg
[13:31] <Ghost|BTFH> Dr_Willis: That's how I fix issues when my wife's old wireless card used to throw a fit and not want to connect to the secured router anymore.
[13:31] <teachmepls> test
[13:34] <isolat3dsh33p> hello, can nautilus-action be used on karmic?
[13:34] <C-S-B-N900> flad: ?
[13:34] <flad> yes
[13:34] <flad> well, i unplugged
[13:34] <skx> I'm looking for a good, command-line nntp (also called usenet or news) reader capable of downloading and reassembling binaries (files), could you recommend one?
[13:34] <scribawf> Experiencing an issue with Evolution, restoring backup file from Desktop to Laptop Using Karmic Koala on both, any suggestions?
[13:35] <flad> and plugged in, and some messages appaired in dmesg
[13:35] <tastyfish> I love  9.10, the apps I used in windoze works perfectly, like chrome, dropbox and tweetdeck :).
[13:35] <skx> I'm looking for a good, command-line nntp (also called usenet or news) reader capable of downloading and reassembling binaries (files) and working over ipv6, could you recommend one?
[13:35] <mrx_> When I write "python somefile.py | less" into the terminal I cannot scroll the output as expected. How can I achieve to get an output from a python process that is scrollable?
[13:35] <erUSUL> !repeat | skx
[13:35] <C-S-B-N900> skx: try hellanzb
[13:35] <skx> erUSUL, read carefully, I didn't repeat myself :)
[13:35] <skx> C-S-B-N900, thanks
[13:35] <flad> C-S-B-N900: last message (after registring the device i guess) is that it renamed the wlan0 to wlan8
[13:35] <arinel> hey guys, what's the man package for system calls?
[13:36] <arinel> or libc?
[13:36] <flad> "renamed network interface"
[13:36] <arinel> 'man malloc' provides no results
[13:36] <arinel> neither does man sigaction
[13:36] <C-S-B-N900> flad: can you do sudo ifconfig wlan8 up?
[13:36] <rww> arinel: manpages-dev
[13:36] <Ghost|BTFH> skx: Have you searched Synaptic for an ntp?
[13:36] <arinel> rww thanks
[13:36] <Ghost|BTFH> errr...nntp?
[13:36] <flad> C-S-B-N900: i just did, and got "SIOCSIFFLAGS_ Permission denied
[13:37] <C-S-B-N900> flad: sudo?
[13:37] <skx> Ghost|BTFH, no, tbh I don't want to install 15 apps to get the one I need so I took a shortcut
[13:37] <flad> C-S-B-N900: hahaha
[13:37] <C-S-B-N900> flad: does it appear in ifconfig?
[13:37] <lubse> hello, how to add an "edit with vim" button to the right click menu?
[13:37] <Ghost|BTFH> skx: I'd try that since they have very detailed descriptions, and there's over 20 of them.
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> lubse:  nautilus has a scripting feature you could use to add such a thing.
[13:37] <flad> C-S-B-N900: now it does!
[13:38] <C-S-B-N900> flad: woot!
[13:38] <tastyfish> I asked a friend that also uses ubuntu and he said spotify doesn't work that well yet, especially not with the pulseaudio drivers. That's the only app I'm missing right now and I just wanted to check if it was true?
[13:38] <lubse> I have KDE
[13:38] <Ghost|BTFH> skx: You could read, find one that does exactly what you want, give it a shot.  What you're looking for is rather specific - it's not something that will be easy to find someone else who uses the same type of thing.
[13:38] <lubse> does nautilus work on KDE?
[13:39] <fabio333> lubse>: yes but there is better there
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> lubse:  it can.. but it can goof things up
[13:39] <flad> C-S-B-N900: not its on ifconfig! (sorry for anwering late, i type most of the messages in the terminal the first time. two keyboards fucks my head up)
[13:39] <rww> flad: watch your language, please
[13:39] <Jovaro> tastyfish, I think it is supposed to work with wine
[13:39] <flad> rww: im truly sorry
[13:39] <skx> Ghost|BTFH, specific but not rare, thanks
[13:40] <C-S-B-N900> flad: i dont understand the first bit?
[13:40] <C-S-B-N900> flad: can you iwlist scan?
[13:40] <Gibby> Hey room, just installed 9.10 32 bit, booted with onboard video, working perfect, installed nvidia drivers and booted to pci-e card. so it is all slow and locking up now, i just had 9.10 64bit installed and it was working fine
[13:40] <flad> C-S-B-N900: 2 sec, ill check
[13:41] <tastyfish> Jovaro: Oh allright! I read some about it beforehand and people said some songs get distorted on stuff even with the new wine. Seems not worth it honestly...
[13:41] <ndlovu> I need to install antivirus on an ubuntu smb fileserver... I was thinking clamav, but it seems that does not perform well on tests - any recommended strategy?
[13:41] <flad> C-S-B-N900: wlan8 no scan results
[13:41] <maginot> Good morning.
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> ndlovu:  theres clamav and avg i think has a linux version.. not sure of any others out there thats not costing $$$
[13:41] <nubuntu> I drive 9.10 32 bits and drive perfect speed
[13:41] <C-S-B-N900> flad: well it thinks it has a interface at least.
[13:42] <Ghost|BTFH> magical: Good mornin'
[13:42] <C-S-B-N900> flad: keep scanning?
[13:42] <flad> up enter, up enter up enter?
[13:42] <ndlovu> thanks Dr_Willis... I suppose if those are the only options, it simplifies the decision somewhat ;)
[13:42] <C-S-B-N900> maybe install kismet or airodump to see if you can see any packets?
[13:42] <Jovaro> tastyfish, OK, I have never tried it, but spotify themselves think it should work fine. http://www.spotify.com/int/help/faq/wine/
[13:43] <C-S-B-N900> flad: it should pick up your wireless if its there in range.
[13:43] <tastyfish> Jovaro: Hmmm... I guess I'll try it out sometime, right now I'm running it on my old Windoze like 50 cm to the left of my laptop anyway.
[13:44] <flad> C-S-B-N900: its in range, im on a windows laptop right next to in on wireless atm
[13:44] <WhiteDawn> flad: back up from the router, being too close can mess up the signal
[13:44] <flad> C-S-B-N900: oh wait. never mind WhiteDawn it was my fault. haha . i keep forgetting sudo
[13:45]  * crack05 is away (Gone)
[13:45] <C-S-B-N900> flad: can you pick it up now?
[13:45] <flad> C-S-B-N900: now i got alot of information about the network
[13:45] <rww> ubottu: away > CRACK05
[13:45] <Gibby> Hey room, just installed 9.10 32 bit, booted with onboard video, working perfect, installed nvidia drivers and booted to pci-e card. so it is all slow and locking up now, i just had 9.10 64bit installed and it was working fine..... any help?
[13:46] <C-S-B-N900> flad: now you need to configure you interface to connect with your key.
[13:46] <DrSound> I want to have sound on a server running in the kitchen :). I installed alsa, xmms2 - nothing - in the log alsa complains about not finding card 0 - I'm at a loss on how do I get this fixed, where to I start?
[13:46] <flad> C-S-B-N900: ok. i know the key, i just need the command to connect
[13:46] <flad> if tis that easy
[13:47] <hmw> resizing my usb thumb drive's partition made it stop being bootable. it says "boot error" now. Anyone knows, what went wrong or how to fix?
[13:47] <WhiteDawn> hmw: resizing it probraly messed up the partition, you should backup before resizing. My suggestion is to boot up a live cd and run fsck on it
[13:48] <DexterLB> hi
[13:48] <WhiteDawn> DexterLB: hello
[13:48] <DexterLB> chmod -x `which chmod`
[13:48] <DexterLB> what now?
[13:48] <C-S-B-N900> flad: you need to config /etc/network/interfaces
[13:48] <DexterLB> :D
[13:48] <hmw> WhiteDawn: it is my live-"CD"  - i made a boot stick and customized it a little (partimage, aso). i would like to not have to make it again
[13:48] <C-S-B-N900> flad: google will help you there.
[13:49] <WhiteDawn> hmw: you'll need to boot a linux os to do anything to your usb stick unless its formated to fat32 or something, then u can run chkdsk in windows
[13:49] <flad> C-S-B-N900: Yes, im on it! thank you so much, you rock
[13:49] <hmw> WhiteDawn: the drive is accessible
[13:50] <C-S-B-N900> flad: all working?
[13:50] <bill_> How do I capture audio from my sound card with ffmpeg?
[13:50] <WhiteDawn> hmw: allright, hten try to repair the partion using chkdsk/fsck
[13:50] <hmw> anyone knows, why resizing a Ubuntu-boot-stick breaks its capability to boot?
[13:50] <flad> C-S-B-N900: not yet, as you said, ill google the command to get connected, and configure that interface if i need to i think
[13:51] <deyden> is my computer 32 bit or 64 bit ? how can i tell?
[13:51] <C-S-B-N900> flad: let me know when it works.
[13:51] <C-S-B-N900> flad: or if you need me.
[13:52] <lunks> Hello, I'm having two issues regarding video playback on Ubuntu. I've tried so far MPlayer, VLC, and Totem. First, I was trying to see a video via a SMB share. It was fine for a moment, then it starts having some buffering issues, and I can state it by looking on a bandwidth monitor. All three of them just stops pulling more content. So, I tried to copy them to my PC. And now most of the time they're slow as if my hardware couldn't handle this 720p video.
[13:52] <maginot> deyden, do you know what is your processor ?
[13:52] <deyden> maginot: intel centrino
[13:53] <maginot> deyden, well, centrino isn't a processor type, is just a group of intel hardware
[13:53] <WhiteDawn> deyden: what os are you in right now
[13:53] <lunks> deyden, if in doubt, you can safely go with 32-bit version of Ubuntu.
[13:53] <deyden> WhiteDawn: ubuntu 9.10
[13:53] <Ghost|BTFH> lunks: Type of video?  Are you sure you actually copied the whole thing?  Are you sure the video files aren't corrupted?
[13:54] <maginot> deyden, what "dmesg | grep -i nr_cpu" outputs?
[13:54] <lunks> GHOSTERONI, mkv, H264 encoded. I copied the whole thing and no, files are not corrupted. Closing and opening it again works, for a while
[13:55] <deyden> maginot: [    0.000000] NR_CPUS:8 nr_cpumask_bits:8 nr_cpu_ids:2 nr_node_ids:1
[13:55] <Ghost|BTFH> lunks: And you're on 32 or 64 bit?
[13:55] <lunks> GHOSTERONI, 64 bit
[13:55] <Ghost|BTFH> 9.10, right?
[13:55] <WhiteDawn> deyden: enter this in console: cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "model name" and give up the output
[13:55] <lunks> Ghost|BTFH, 64 bit
[13:55] <lunks> Damn, so many ghosts
[13:55] <lunks> =P
[13:55] <Ghost|BTFH> I know, there's often a lot of dead people in here.
[13:56] <teachmepls> test
[13:56] <Ghost|BTFH> Here, this should help...
[13:56] <deyden> WhiteDawn: model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T5450  @ 1.66GHz model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T5450  @ 1.66GHz
[13:56] <sudobash> zombie's do exist
[13:56] <BinaryFu> There...now you won't keep incorrectly auto tabbing me. :P
[13:56] <lunks> BinaryFu, there's a man and fu, but ok
[13:56] <hmw> Will Ubuntu on an SSD thumb drive be faster, if I used ext4 instead of whatever Windows formats it to? How much of an improvement is there to be expected?
[13:56] <BinaryFu> lunks: So you'
[13:56] <WhiteDawn> deyden: allright you have 64 bit, u can grab the AMD64 version
[13:56] <BinaryFu> lunks: So you're using 64 bit Karmic...
[13:56] <sudobash> hmw yes
[13:56] <[Xiru]> I'm using lucid. Gwibber and desktopcouch services are using 100%. Is there an workarround?
[13:56] <sudobash> hmw much quicker actually
[13:56] <lunks> BinaryFu, exactly
[13:57] <BinaryFu> Xiru: Try #ubuntu+1 for Lucid talk
[13:57] <deyden> WhiteDawn: no. actually i had install some s/w and it asked wether 32 bit or 64 bit!
[13:57] <[Xiru]> BinaryFu: thanks
[13:57] <WhiteDawn> deyden: ah, so u wanna see what one is installed then?
[13:57] <deyden> WhiteDawn: yup :)
[13:57] <BinaryFu> lunks: And you're running H264 encoded (which I have no clue wtf that is...) no corruption...it runs fine for awhile...but then starts bogging down...
[13:57] <lunks> deyden, u should actually check if u're on a 64 or 32 bit version of ubuntu
[13:58] <lunks> deyden, uname -a
[13:58] <BinaryFu> lunks: And I'm assuming you have all the extra flavor codecs installed, right?
[13:58] <lunks> it should tell right away
[13:58] <deyden> lunks: that is what i want to check! and i dont remember installing what version of ubuntu is on my system
[13:58] <lunks> BinaryFu, assuming it's running, yep
[13:58] <lunks> deyden, 64-bit should show x86_64, not sure what 32 bit will show, probably just x86
[13:59] <binbin> 有中国的朋友么
[13:59] <BinaryFu> lunks: You have nvidia?
[13:59] <deyden> lunks: 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 05:23:09 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[13:59] <lunks> BinaryFu, exactly
[13:59] <lunks> deyden, it's 32 bit
[13:59] <maginot> deyden, actually that didn't help to much ... this will give the final answer, if you see LM them you're on a 64bits cpu: grep flags /proc/cpuinfo
[13:59] <deyden> lunks: thanks
[13:59] <maginot> lunks, that is just the kernel version.. don't mean if the CPU is 32 or 64bits
[14:00] <BinaryFu> 在这里，我们讲英语彬彬
[14:00] <lunks> maginot, he wants to know which ubuntu he installed, actually
[14:00] <maginot> ubottu, cn | BinaryFu
[14:00] <binbin> 哦
[14:00] <BinaryFu> lunks: You have libvdpau?
[14:00] <lunks> !cn | binbin
[14:00] <maginot> lunks, oh, so uname will help indeed
[14:01] <deyden> maginot: http://pastebin.com/HJzL6aEB
[14:01] <bill_> What is the address of my soundcard?
[14:01] <lunks> BinaryFu, won't help, gpu is too old
[14:01] <BinaryFu> lunks: That could be the issue then...
[14:01] <lunks> BinaryFu, the hiccups don't seem from hardware
[14:01] <maginot> deyden, do you see a LM on that line?
[14:01] <DrSound> bill_, dunno how can I find out?
[14:01] <BinaryFu> lunks: Are you dual booting that box?
[14:02] <lunks> BinaryFu, no
[14:02] <BinaryFu> lunks: Then you can't be certain it's not hardware related.
[14:02] <deyden> maginot: yeah! there is nx and then lm
[14:02] <lazarus> what does tar -xzf do
[14:02] <bill_> I want to use ffmpeg to capture sound from my computer, how do I do it?
[14:02] <BinaryFu> lunks: However, one possibility would be just trying the latest vid drivers, since the decoding seems to be passed directly to the hardware if able, and most likely nvidia has a software workaround otherwise...
[14:03] <deyden> lazarus: unzip
[14:03] <WhiteDawn> lazarus: extract a .tar file
[14:03] <deyden> lazarus: see: man tar
[14:03] <BinaryFu> lunks: Which should be in one of their latest drivers, and the version being used in your system could be old or "open source" and not quite doing its job properly, if that makes sense.
[14:03] <maginot> deyden, so you have an 64bit Processor, but uname shows that you are using an 32bit kernel
[14:03] <lunks> BinaryFu, if my hardware wasn't capable of delivering it shouldn't my cpu be on 100% or something?
[14:03] <lazarus> ok just cross referencing
[14:04] <lunks> lazarus, tar xf would do the job
[14:04] <lunks> no need to -xzf most of the time
[14:04] <deyden> maginot: so which bit version of the s/w should i install on  my ubuntu 9.10 ?
[14:04] <lunks> deyden, 32bit
[14:04] <BinaryFu> lunks: Depends...could be trying to shove it down the GPU's throat.
[14:04] <Syrinx_> Hello all.  I downloaded the latest Nvidia proprietary driver from their site to test it out, and it has a ".run" extension.  Any suggestions on how to install it?
[14:05] <lunks> Syrinx_, sh file
[14:05] <WhiteDawn> Syrinx_: sh ./<name of file>
[14:05] <lunks> Syrinx_, but why should you try to run it?
[14:05] <lunks> Syrinx_, isn't nvidia driver from the repositories doing the job?
[14:05] <sine0> how do i rename a user account if i spelt the name wrong not that i did but the hypothetical question fits my situation
[14:05] <BinaryFu> lunks:  You could also check for libmpeg4ip-0
[14:05] <BinaryFu> lunks: That's supposed to have full support for the h series codecs.
[14:06] <Syrinx_> Oh, I just wanted to see if it gave better performance than the 185 driver
[14:06] <Syrinx_> On some podcast someone commented that the proprietary driver ran smoother on 9.10
[14:06] <Syrinx_> We'll see
[14:07] <lunks> Syrinx_, tell me if it does, having performance issues here. be aware that updating your kernel could be a little bit longer
[14:07] <teachmepls> тест
[14:07] <lunks> Syrinx_, every time you update your kernel, you will have to install it again
[14:07] <Syrinx_> Ah, good to know.  Thank you.
[14:07] <Syrinx_> Ugh, maybe I won't bother than
[14:07] <jedt> Hi, I dual boot ubuntu with a broken vista but now i'm out of disk space 38/40GB is there anything i can do to resize the linux partition?
[14:07] <Syrinx_> Dont want to hose anything
[14:07] <lunks> Syrinx_, be sure to get the header files for your kernel, too
[14:08] <WhiteDawn> jedt: you can run gparted from live cd
[14:08] <lunks> Syrinx_, I did it a few times and it's a pain in the ass :P
[14:08] <BinaryFu> Syrinx_: However, with all that...the latest drivers do deliver better performance...and it's simply a matter of stopping gdm from the command line, and then using sudo sh NVIDIA-driver.sh
[14:08] <Syrinx_> Meh, totally not worth it then.  I'm not that great at working under the hood.
[14:08] <BinaryFu> Syrinx_: Or sudo run Nvidia.sh, whatever it is...forget.
[14:09] <Syrinx_> Huh, okay... we'll see how brave I feel :)
[14:09] <Syrinx_> Thanks all!
[14:09] <BinaryFu> Syrinx_: I've done it quite a lot, and honestly, once you get used to it, it's not an issue at all, and suddenly all these games that don't quite work magically work just fine.
[14:09] <BinaryFu> So...to me, it's worth it.
[14:09] <BinaryFu> Because dammit, I have to play Blood Bowl.
[14:10] <BinaryFu> And Vegastrike.
[14:10] <lunks> BinaryFu, from the changelog on nvidia's website, I'd say you're right
[14:10] <BinaryFu> lunks: I am?
[14:10] <lunks> I'll probably just update to Lucid, and see if it updates the driver
[14:10] <BinaryFu> Holy carp, I'll try not to do that again.
[14:11] <jedt> Hello anyone who can help me?
[14:11] <WhiteDawn> !ask | jedt
[14:11] <WhiteDawn> jedt: you can run gparted from live cd
[14:11] <teachmepls> hello all :) how about work 4096 kb sectors in  new hard disk (wd 1TB green EARS) in ubuntu 9.10 ?!
[14:11] <mattish> is there a way i can edit the grub on a ubuntu usb key install to not ask for language and boot into live mode automatically
[14:11] <lunks> BinaryFu, from 185 to 193 is a big step, and just from the last version tehre is indeeed a lot of 'improves performance'
[14:11] <lunks> =P
[14:12] <jedt> WhiteDawn,  I wont have data erased right?
[14:12] <WhiteDawn> jedt: usualy not, helps if you defrag the windows drive first. Still good idea to back up when you do anything to your hardrives.
[14:12] <teachmepls> hello all :) how about work 4kb sectors in  new hard disk (wd 1TB green EARS) in ubuntu 9.10 ?!
[14:13] <BinaryFu> Seriously lunks, my being right was strictly accidental. >.>
[14:13] <lunks> BinaryFu, as is everything in life.
[14:14] <mattish> where is the language selection and then boot menu located ?
[14:14] <mattish> im guessing it is grub ?
[14:14] <lunks> Ok, how do I enable update-manager to let me install Lucid?
[14:15] <BinaryFu> lunks: This is true...if I tried to get up every morning, I'd still be asleep...it just happens by accident.
[14:16] <WhiteDawn> lunks: you might wanna do a clean install instead of a upgrade for the best enviroment, im sure hte iso can be found on ubuntus website
[14:16] <lunks> BinaryFu, going for a distro upgrade, wish me luck. :)
[14:16] <lunks> WhiteDawn, I know, but I didn't have my home on a partition, so it'd be a pain
[14:16] <BinaryFu> lunks: May the gods Libnux grant you crash free distro-upgrading...I'll sacrifice a goat with a shovel for ya.
[14:17] <lunks> WhiteDawn, if you have any tutorials on how to migrate home and have all my current programs from repo installed, be my guest
[14:17] <lunks> BinaryFu, amen
[14:17]  * BinaryFu grabs the shovel and heads for the temple...err...shed...
[14:18] <iustinian>                                    	Google has announced that the company will change name to Topeka starting 1AM
[14:18] <WhiteDawn> lunks: fair enough :P
[14:18] <BinaryFu> iustinian: Happy April 1st.
[14:19] <iustinian> same to you lolz
[14:19] <lubse> Does anyone know how to get sound working in flash? (youtube)?
[14:19] <lubse> I have kubuntu version 9.10
[14:19] <jedt> Thanks WhiteDawn
[14:19] <lunks> WhiteDawn, I usually do a clean install, but this time it's going to be a real pain, lots of stuff, from zsh shell to gnome theme
[14:19] <iustinian> i heard canonical got bought by Microsoft
[14:19] <bazhang> !ot | iustinian
[14:19] <BinaryFu> I heard Bill Gates converted to Ubuntu on all his main servers.
[14:19] <greenpeas> hi
[14:20] <greenpeas> should I create a swap partition for ubuntu ona eeepc? I ve been said is a bad idea:/
[14:20] <lunks> greenpeas, I haven't tried yet, but there's Ubuntu Netbook Remix
[14:20] <greenpeas> yeah I ve eeebuntu
[14:20] <teachmepls> anybody here
[14:20] <greenpeas> but I dont know if I have to create a swap partition
[14:20] <greenpeas> :/
[14:21] <BinaryFu> teachmepls: No, we're just bots....beep.
[14:21] <erUSUL> greenpeas: swap in a SSD is a bad idea yes
[14:21] <lunks> greenpeas, I have been using Ubuntu on a 6GB partition for a while, while it has been a little full-disk hell, it worked fine
[14:21] <teachmepls> BinaryFu, it was a test
[14:22] <teachmepls> BinaryFu, thx
[14:22] <lunks> teachmepls, test worked, feel free to talk... beep
[14:22] <BinaryFu> teachmepls: np, ummm...my reply was a test too...yeah...
[14:22] <dr34mc0d3r> is there a cross platform desktop widget application? im wanting to develop a widget for all windows and linux users at my company?
[14:23] <BinaryFu> lunks: <data transfer i/o protocol>
[14:23] <notlistening> dr34mc0d3r, look at scripting languages eg tcl/tk and others ...
[14:23] <greenpeas> apparently the eeepc 1000H has no ssd drive
[14:24] <lunks> dr34mc0d3r, I used one a long time ago that accepted vista sidebar apps, maybe you should be looking for it.
[14:24] <BinaryFu> greenpeas: If you have a regular HD, go for the swappy.
[14:24] <obiwan_> yayyy guys
[14:24] <moetunes> dr34mc0d3r: java I thought
[14:24] <obiwan_> i solved all my sound issues uninstalling pulseaudio hehe
[14:24] <greenpeas> okey
[14:24] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: That usually solves all my problems.
[14:24] <greenpeas> thanks a lot :)
[14:24] <dr34mc0d3r> desktop widgets like konfabulator
[14:24] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: That's the first thing I do on any linux install...rip Pulse out, stuff Alsa in.
[14:24] <obiwan_> aahahh BinaryFu i was so pissed off
[14:25] <obiwan_> yeah BinaryFu sound works perfect in my gentoo with just alsa, so i said let's try removing pulse
[14:25] <mebitek> hello. i have a intel i5 430m. which kernel is the right choice?
[14:25] <madjoe> what's the procedure to update any application from Synaptic to the most recent stable version?
[14:25] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: I hate Pulse with a psychopathic passion.
[14:25] <mebitek> actually on ubuntu lucid kernel 2.6.32-19 cpu temperature, turboboost, suspend and hibernate do not work. some tips?
[14:25] <obiwan_> and wow! now counter strike plays awesome on wine hehe
[14:25] <HandyGandy> Does anyone here know anything about NTFS junction points on linux?
[14:25] <obiwan_> BinaryFu: from now on, i'm a hater too ehehe
[14:25] <kr_217> hello,how can set password to grub for loading any OS?
[14:25] <lunks> !lucid | mebitek
[14:26] <BinaryFu> madjoe: Ummm...are you saying you're wanting everything at standard distro updated level, ie, no more bleeding edge?
[14:26] <kr_217> hello,how can set password to grub for loading any OS? i.e for dual booting
[14:26] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: Welcome to the IHPA group.  We'll be sending you your ID badge in the email.
[14:26] <mebitek> lunks: i know. but i'm asking why new intel cpu are not fully working
[14:26] <madjoe> BinaryFu: something like that, yes :)
[14:27] <lunks> BinaryFu, is it easy to install alsa over pulse audio?
[14:27] <BinaryFu> madjoe: Remove the bleeding edge repositories, reload...then perhaps select said broken programs and tell it to reinstall, which should reinstall the older versions.
[14:27] <BinaryFu> lunks: In 9.10, it's retardedly easy.
[14:28] <lunks> BinaryFu, how to do it?
[14:28] <aiya> Im using ubuntu 9.10.My laptop has NVDIA grapic card.when ever i enable special effect the screen freeze.How do i fix it?
[14:28] <lunks> aiya, do you have restricted drivers on?
[14:28] <obiwan_> BinaryFu: actually i read about it somewhere. the developer made a lot of changes, and he argued that the rest of the developers haven't adapt their programs to it, so it's not his fault but other dev's who don't adapt their things to the new changes
[14:28] <costre> Is there a way to allow Firestarter to grant access to every connections coming through a specific program? In this case a Tor-bridge, that gets connections on all sorts of ports, from all sorts of IPaddresses
[14:29] <aiya> lunks : I have enable it.I install the driver also from resticted driver
[14:29] <madjoe> BinaryFu: I'm quite new in Ubuntu, can you give me some more instructions? for example, I'd like to update my Pidgin to 2.6.6, but my Synaptic has Pidgin 2.6.2
[14:29] <lunks> aiya, which version?
[14:29] <aiya> lunks : Im not sure.Is that playing part ?
[14:29] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: It's not the developers of Pulse's fault that their default sound volume doesn't work properly, causes crackling noises, that their server cannot handle multiple sounds without ramping up a memory bleed and maxing out CPU?
[14:30] <lunks> madjoe, if you want the latest one, maybe you should try installing it off the repo, but that's not recommended. You should try Pidgin website, they have a PPA which enables you to have latest version to be downloaded from the repository.
[14:30] <BinaryFu> madjoe: Just a sec, mate. :)
[14:30] <BinaryFu> lunks: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306679
[14:30] <lunks> aiya, check on restricted drivers, you probably has 3 options, and one recommended.
[14:30] <madjoe> lunks, BinaryFu: thanks
[14:30] <obiwan_> BinaryFu: he said he enhanced a lot his product, but with the counterpart of not getting along too much with legacy programs
[14:30] <shishirdwivedi20> i need help
[14:31] <aiya> lunks : I had install the recommanded by ubuntu.When i checked its show me it only
[14:31] <shishirdwivedi20> when i am sending file to pendrive
[14:31] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: I dunno, sounds like whining to me.  Everyone I know is drinking the PulseAudio Kool-Aid.  I just do a LOT with audio work, so...if it don't work, I don't use it.  Period.
[14:31] <obiwan_> that's it
[14:31] <lunks> aiya, open restricted drivers on system/administration (not sure about the path)
[14:31] <lunks> and check what's there
[14:32] <obiwan_> BinaryFu: was pulseaudio in jauny?
[14:32] <shishirdwivedi20> it show mesage unlock keyring when i am giving the password then  it does'nt dissappear and ask it again
[14:32] <obiwan_> BinaryFu: cause sound worked perfect for me in jaunty
[14:32] <Dunkirk> Anyone know how to list packages on your system that have come from a particular repo?
[14:32] <obiwan_> but since i switched to karmic, omg, all this months' been a hobby heck
[14:32] <lunks> BinaryFu, will try it, thanks! =D
[14:32] <shishirdwivedi20> when i m denying then also it appears and ultimately no file transfer occur
[14:32] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: Yes.  It's been in Ubuntu since...ummm...Hoary I think?  I can't remember.
[14:32] <lunks> BinaryFu, after the distro upgrade.
[14:32] <madjoe> lunks, so the recommended way to go is to sit and wait for Synaptic to be updated to include my application with the required version?
[14:32] <obiwan_> well so it worked great for me in jaunty BinaryFu
[14:33] <BinaryFu> lunks: I can't promise you it'll work the same to do so in Lucid, I'm not beta testing that.
[14:33] <shishirdwivedi20> plz answer
[14:33] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: It's never worked great for me.  I could get multi-sounds for about 5-10 minutes, then suddenly it'd start deciding to toss out some sounds and not others...or stop playing my music.
[14:33] <lunks> madjoe, head to pidgin website, there will be some directions on how to get the latest one on ubuntu.
[14:34] <BinaryFu> madjoe: You still need help flipping back to the older versions of stuff?
[14:34] <madjoe> lunks: I know, but you told me it's not recommended
[14:34] <oem> hi
[14:34] <madjoe> BinaryFu: thanks, dude, I think I can handle it now
[14:34] <Dunkirk> I can see how to do this with Synaptic (origin), but not the command line.
[14:34] <shishirdwivedi20> plz help
[14:35] <lunks> madjoe, yeah, you should wait for synaptic to have the new version on the next one. If it's working, it's working. If you need a feature it's not in there, go at your own risk.
[14:35] <lunks> madjoe, specifically for pidgin, it's not a big issue though
[14:35] <BinaryFu> shishirdwivedi20: Sounds like it is requiring a password for the drive itself.  Are you sure it's not a secure drive?
[14:35] <BinaryFu> Eh, I guess he couldn't be bothered with waiting for an answer.
[14:36] <madjoe> lunks: what if I go to update it manually with their PPA, will I be able to update that app through my Synaptic anymore, without additional tweaks?
[14:36] <lunks> madjoe, yep!
[14:36] <kr_217> hello,how can set password to grub for loading any OS? i.e for dual booting
[14:36] <obiwan_> BinaryFu: but since i switched to karmic omg, hobby nail, i've been craving to make sound work. i had so many problems with sound in browsers. i thought it was a flash isue, till today i tried to play counterstrike and sound problems again. then i just thought it could be a thing with pa and its sound multiplexing.
[14:37] <madjoe> lunks, ok then... so where is the risk then? I'm trying to figure out the downside of it
[14:37] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: Yeah, for me the final straw was when I was just trying to run a game in WINE, have my music running, and using voice chat at the same time and it just crapped itself completely.
[14:37] <obiwan_> exactly hehhe
[14:37] <obiwan_> :P
[14:37] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: I then figured out how to rip its heart out and slapped ALSA in its place, suddenly everything worked - flawlessly.
[14:37] <lunks> madjoe, on the worst scenario, you would have to reinstall the older version, or lose your account history, something like it.
[14:38] <obiwan_> well , good to know, finally. hehe
[14:38] <lunks> madjoe, go for it =P
[14:38] <madjoe> lunks, ok :)
[14:38] <BinaryFu> lunks: He won't lose account history unless he goes into his home directory and deletes .pidgin
[14:38] <madjoe> lunks: should I remove the older version first?
[14:38] <obiwan_> lunchtime for me BinaryFu , mtfbwy dude
[14:39] <BinaryFu> That's one of the biggest bonuses to running Linux over Windows in my opinion.  Separate /home directory = <3
[14:39] <lunks> madjoe, not needed
[14:39] <kr_217> hello,how can set password to grub for loading any OS? i.e for dual booting
[14:39] <madjoe> lunks: sweet, thanks
[14:39] <BinaryFu> obiwan_: Enjoy!  It's just mid-morning here.
[14:39] <CarlFK> BinaryFu: how did you swap alsa and ... pulse or whatever
[14:39] <BinaryFu> CarlFK: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1306679
[14:39] <lunks> BinaryFu, if there's a database change on pidgin and something goes wrong, you could mess with your history
[14:40] <BinaryFu> lunks: Meh, I think their db is pretty solid...and if they did, they'd probably have an import feature. ;)
[14:40] <lunks> BinaryFu, happened to me a couple of times when trying gajim. It was bleeding-edge gajim (straight from svn), but still.

[14:44] <mouse> I doubt those same people are still here but thank you for your advice on gparted.  It worked perfectly.
[14:45] <Ghost|BTFH> lunks: Just 3?  Servers are whippin' today.
[14:45] <Urda> erUSUL: basically I am copying a settings file into a backup dir, and want to chown, chmod the file afterwards
[14:45] <kayser> ubottu,  gracias !
[14:45] <lunks> Ghost|BTFH, I use Lunks since ever on everything. It's nice to have an unique name. :P
[14:45] <Urda> all without sudo, chmod works fine, but the chown won't work without sudo
[14:46] <lunks> Urda, chown won't work, it changes ownership.
[14:46] <hmw> I want green [ OK ] messages on boot. The script /lib/lsb/init-functions has function log_end_msg() which checks the variable log_use_fancy_output. I can't find, where to set that variable. /etc # grep -R log_use_fancy_output doesnt help me, it only shows 3 if commands, no log_use_fancy_output = false;
[14:46] <Urda> lunks: so no way to do it without sudo?
[14:46] <lunks> Urda, if it's not yours, you can't claime it yours. Unless you're a... superuser.
[14:46] <kibibyte> do i need runnig X server on host which i connect with ssh -X to ?
[14:46] <Urda> lunks: but it is mine :(
[14:46] <Ghost|BTFH> lunks: I have too many names.  But I try to keep them uniform within categories, like...Ubuntu Forums...#Ubuntu...that kinda thing.
[14:46] <lunks> Urda, looks like it's not, if you need chown
[14:46] <erUSUL> Urda: if the parent dir is not yours maybe you have no permissions to chmod it
[14:46] <lunks> Urda, where are the files?
[14:46] <Urda> lunks: I'm trying to chown it to www-data:www-data
[14:47] <thrope> after doing ubuntu updates it seems my nomachine nx has stopped working: http://pastie.org/898801  anyone got any ideas?
[14:47] <Urda> erUSUL: ok I see
[14:47] <astra-x> anyone have a deb of tranmission 1.92?
[14:47] <astra-x> for ubuntu 9.10
[14:47] <Ghost|BTFH> thrope: 9.10 or Lucid?
[14:47] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: 9.10
[14:48] <moetunes> kibibyte: afaik you need the X installed - to get the default    twm
[14:48] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: and not an os update - just started package updates (been on 9.10 since it came out and nx was working)
[14:48] <Urda> lunks: erUSUL got a workaround for now, I can place it as MyUSER:www-data with chown and be OK
[14:48] <Ghost|BTFH> thrope: Do you have a custom nvidia driver install?
[14:48] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: maybe but not that ive changed
[14:48] <llutz> Urda: only root can change ownership
[14:48] <acicula> astra-x: packages revisions are tied to the distribution version, newer versions go in newer distribution releases but you dont see much intermediate revision updates bar security updates etc.
[14:48] <prodigel> hi all. I've tried installing linux kernel virt and now the system isn't booting anymore. I get 'gave up waiting for root device' and initramfs console
[14:48] <erUSUL> Urda: ok
[14:48] <Ghost|BTFH> thrope: I mean, have you gone to the nvidia site, downloaded their linux driver, and installed it at some point in the past?
[14:49] <astra-x> acicula: ahh I guess i have to build it myself (transmission 1.91 has security flaws)
[14:49] <prodigel> is there a way to restore the initial kernel ?
[14:49] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: no - all through ubuntu repos on this machine
[14:49] <acicula> astra-x: that being said sometimes you can find a newer revision in someones PPA or
[14:49] <Urda> llutz: but If I own the file I can at least change the group to get www-data to be able to access it
[14:49] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: its office workstation so i wouldnt have bothered doing that - it runs headless most of the time
[14:49] <llutz> Urda: you can chgrp but not chown
[14:49] <acicula> astra-x: then notify the ubuntu maintainer so it can be updated
[14:49] <acicula> astra-x: or patched
[14:49] <Ghost|BTFH> thrope: How odd.  Most of the times such issues are because of nvidia drivers/kernel updates making things crap themselves.  Damn, I'll actually have to think now...
[14:49] <moetunes> prodigel: you don't have a menu to select a kernel when you boot?
[14:50] <Urda> llutz: Yes I understand that now :) Thank you so much to erUSUL and lunks for helping a permissions noob
[14:50] <erUSUL> Urda: no problem ;)
[14:50] <prodigel> moetunes, I have, but there is only one kernel version normal+recovery and neither is working
[14:50] <lunks> Urda, np
[14:50] <Urda> :)
[14:51] <moetunes> prodigel: that's not good - if grub doesn't show it - it is hard to boot into it
[14:51] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH could have been a kernel update - ive given up now and plugged the monitor in... you think its worth playing around with graphics drivers?
[14:51] <boymeetsworld_> I have just downloaded libopenal1, a deb package....how do I install it?
[14:51] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: i updated nx server stuff to latest versions as well
[14:51] <lunks> boymeetsworld, gksudo gdebi package.deb
[14:52] <lunks> boymeetsworld, or just double click it. :)
[14:52] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: ah something funny - when i go into display settins it says "it appears your graphics driver does not support the necessaary extensions to use this tool - do you want to use vendors tool instead" - not seen that before
[14:52] <thrope> vendors tool is nvidia
[14:52] <prodigel> moetunes, can I install a fresh kernel version over the current system without losing all the already installed software?
[14:52] <Ghost|BTFH> thrope: One potential solution I've found from using Google is that clearing your /tmp may resolve the issue.
[14:52] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: yeah i tried that as well
[14:52] <Ghost|BTFH> thrope: Hmmm...give it a shot.
[14:52] <boymeetsworld_> You are recommended to install the software from the channel instead. what's this?
[14:53] <boymeetsworld_> I get this while running that deb package
[14:53] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH how do i change back from nvidia to normal?
[14:53] <lunks> boymeetsworld, it's because there is the same package on the repository, try finding it on synaptic
[14:53] <moetunes> prodigel: if there is a kernel installed but not listed a live cd would let you enter it as an option
[14:53] <acicula> thrope: disable the driver in Hardware Drivers
[14:53] <lunks> boymeetsworld, why did you downloaded it on the first place?
[14:53] <omikron4_> mierda niño que me quita el enchufe del router
[14:54] <lunks> !es | omikron4_
[14:54] <sfdev2009> hi all
[14:55] <sfdev2009> i have a server which is really low on disk space
[14:55] <acicula> boymeetsworld_: try installing libopenal from the repositories via apt-get/aptitude/synaptic
[14:55] <sfdev2009> is there a command i can run that will show me where the disk space is used?
[14:55] <moetunes> prodigel: you could install a kernel and initrd and add it to the menu but I'm not on the latest ubuntu atm

[14:57] <moetunes> 2 o's in oops llutz
[14:57] <Rafael> can anybody help me with this: rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "/home/rgotten/Prueba/Myplasticare/Charts/charts.documents" failed: Permission denied (13)
[14:57] <Ghost|BTFH> moetunes: Maybe he was hoping for ops.
[14:58] <moetunes> hehe
[14:58] <llutz> he wasn't
[14:58] <moetunes> oooh
[14:58] <Ghost|BTFH> llutz: How do YOU know...he could have been...oh wait.
[14:59] <Ghost|BTFH> Rafael: Check permissions on /Charts
[15:00] <moetunes> Rafael: sudo needed perhaps
[15:00] <Ghost|BTFH> Rafael: If you copied the files over from say, a backup drive or something, sometimes it won't deliver your permissions to you, and it winds up being something necessary for sudo to chown/chmod to fix.
[15:00] <moetunes> or what Ghost|BTFH said
[15:01] <Ghost|BTFH> moetunes: Your version was easier to read.
[15:02] <CyL> May I talk privately to ubottu?
[15:02] <Ghost|BTFH> Cyl: He's a little shy...and a bot.
[15:02] <sine0> i want to run an ssh daemon
[15:02] <sine0> so someone can connet
[15:02] <rblst> can anyone please help me with setting up printer Lexmark Z602 in Ubuntu Karmic?
[15:02] <Ghost|BTFH> Cyl: You need help in your native language or something?
[15:02] <Rafael> Ghost|BTFH: it is a windows folder that is share, mounted on the server and i want to make backups to the server?
[15:02] <sine0> whats the best option
[15:02] <CyL> Ghost|BTFH: sure, but I would like to consult some factoids without floodind the cannels
[15:03] <llutz> sine0: sudo aptitude install openssh-server
[15:03] <acicula> sine0: openssh-server
[15:03] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: removed nvidia driver but nx error is the same
[15:03] <Ghost|BTFH> CyL: Hmm...I dunno, never tried whispering the little guy.  I guess you could give it a shot.
[15:03] <sine0> ive installed it but it wont let me run it
[15:03] <sine0> openssh-serverer
[15:03] <CyL> Ghost|BTFH: I want to help to translate some factoids for the ubuntu bot on mai native language
[15:03] <sine0> do i just sshd
[15:03] <acicula> if you installed it is allready running
[15:03] <llutz> sine0: sudo service ssh start
[15:03] <acicula> and yeah the daemon is called sshd
[15:04] <Ghost|BTFH> thrope: That's weird...Have you checked google?
[15:04] <CyL> Ghost|BTFH: He says he doesn't know me... Do we ever will know if it is a guy or a girl?
[15:04] <thrope> Ghost|BTFH: ah got it - i think its a client issue
[15:04] <thrope> http://www.nomachine.com/tr/view.php?id=TR03H02334
[15:04] <CyL> !op
[15:05] <Ghost|BTFH> CyL: I'm pretty sure bots are male.  Otherwise there'd be at least 20 people trying to have cybersex with the poor fellah.
[15:05] <jussi01> CyL: ?
[15:05] <CyL> Damn, sorry op's.. I didn't know it was an emergency trigger
[15:05] <raw_> i've set up a samba pdc using ldap. joining domain (with a windows 7 client) is working, but as far as i login with a user, it asks me to change the password because of first-time-login. ok, would be no problem, but after changing the password, it asks me again and again to change it
[15:05] <dolmen> is LaunchPad down?
[15:05] <CyL> jussi01: I'd like to help to translate some of ubottus factoids for my native language ubuntu channel bot...
[15:05] <elky> Ghost|BTFH, that's rather an inappropriate thing to say
[15:05] <AmberJ> Is there a minimal netinstall CD release for ubuntu like debian ?
[15:06] <CyL> jussi01: And I would like to have access to a list of ubottus factoids
[15:06] <llutz> !minimal > AmberJ
[15:06] <raw_> now iam wondering where the problem can be, because the password is changed, but it still asks me to change it again
[15:06] <jussi01> !bot > CyL
[15:06] <CyL> jussi01: and is possible also do it privately to not overflood the channel...
[15:06] <AmberJ> Thanks llutz
[15:06] <jussi01> CyL: /join #ubuntu-bots
[15:07] <Ghost|BTFH> elky: I sorry if you found it inappropriate.  I found it humorous and sadly accurate for the mindset of most IRC users.  I'll attempt to modify my comments to strictly net-neutral non-sexual non-aggressive non-interesting comments from here on out.
[15:07] <CyL> jussi01: thanks for the advice...
[15:07] <CyL> jussi01: sorry about having alarmed you neddlessly..
[15:09] <jeeves_Moss> how do I alt+tab out of the "term server client" that is the default on 9.10?
[15:09] <ningyi> #ubuntu-bots
[15:09] <Ghost|BTFH> elky: Forgive me or must I traverse the lands knowing that you shall forever hold a grudge against me?
[15:09] <raw_> any ideas for my problem?
[15:10] <C-S-B-N900> flad: hello
[15:10] <dolmen> launchpad.net tells me: "Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad Login Service."
[15:10] <Ghost|BTFH> raw_: So you have the user set up on the Windows box?
[15:10] <dolmen> 3 times on 2 different computers
[15:10] <elky> Ghost|BTFH, You're acting out and I don't particularly want to encourage you to continue making a fool of yourself. Please read the guidelines, they're in the /topic
[15:11] <Ghost|BTFH> raw_: Have you gone into the Windows user management and set it for "password never changes" and tried that?
[15:11] <maginot> raw_, did you tried #samba?
[15:11] <raw_> maginot, #samba is death :/
[15:11] <damagu> Hey all. My ext3 external hard drive has all of a sudden become read only. It's possible that the cause was disconnecting without unmounting properly. Can't be sure. No apparent data loss just no longer writeable. Anyone know how to fix this other than reformatting?
[15:12] <raw_> Ghost|BTFH, i need to create a local user on order to login into the domain?
[15:12] <Ghost|BTFH> elky: Oh, it's no trouble, I make a fool of myself as often as I help others...I just like to joke as well.  Perhaps if you used apt-get install humor you might understand me better.
[15:12] <maginot> raw_, there are 118 users there, and there is the right place, or wasn't called #samba
[15:13] <Ghost|BTFH> raw_: Mmmm...not sure.  I was thinking you were maybe using samba on a local Windows box.  You're logging into a domain?
[15:13] <raw_> maginot, well, thats what i thought first, but after asking my question some user states that the channel is death :)
[15:13] <hotdog003> Does anyone have any pranks for April Fools' day?
[15:13] <acicula> hotdog003: offtopic
[15:13] <hotdog003> Ok, sorry.
[15:13] <raw_> Ghost|BTFH, yeah, login into a samba PDC domain which uses openldap as backend
[15:14] <Ghost|BTFH> raw_: Okay, I'm not too familiar with that setup, but...I'm presuming you can create an account remotely then, is that how it works?
[15:14] <maginot> raw_, This is an specific ubuntu support channel, so try #linux, is even more active then here.
[15:15] <raw_> Ghost|BTFH, yeah, i create a account in openldap and login with that accountin in the domain using the windows client... it is checking the password and comes to the conclusion that i have to change it. again and again
[15:15] <Ghost|BTFH> raw_: Because if that's the case, there's got to be a way to set the option to use a specific password, which should bypass the "user must change pw at beginning of next session" rubbish.
[15:16] <raw_> Ghost|BTFH, specific password is set... well, as maginot suggests, i will try #linux
[15:17] <raw_> Ghost|BTFH, and the password is also set to the new one when i change it on the windows machine, but after that, it wants me to change it again
[15:17] <Ghost|BTFH> raw_: Okay bud, but I'd also check out something else...
[15:18] <Ghost|BTFH> raw_: http://search.cpan.org/~ghenry/Samba-LDAP-0.05/scripts/smbldap-useradd
[15:18] <stevecam> Ghost|BTFH, what does the T mean in your nickname?
[15:18] <Ghost|BTFH> There's a LOT of options for useradd.
[15:18] <Ghost|BTFH> stevecam: Tech
[15:18] <Ghost|BTFH> stevecam: And thank you for knowing the rest of it.
[15:18] <Ghost|BTFH> stevecam: That just makes my day. :)
[15:18] <stevecam> techie or just tech?
[15:19] <Ghost|BTFH> raw_: Like useradd -B 0
[15:19] <Ghost|BTFH> stevecam: I'm a repair tech, ISS, and a few other things.
[15:19] <raw_> hm Ghost|BTFH that might be the reason .. the mustChangePassword attribute does not exist for my user
[15:20] <Ghost|BTFH> stevecam: So, tech as in, computer repair tech. :)
[15:20] <hmw> how can I make the [ OK ] messages green?
[15:20] <Ghost|BTFH> raw_: See?   and my answer is always the same, "Yes, but do you want to spend the money to have that done?"
[15:22] <bl4ckc00k1e_> ahora ya ni me aprece el altavoz
[15:22] <acicula> bl4ckc00k1e_: spanish or portugese?
[15:22] <hmw> moetunes: i was refering to the boot messages, or when you start stop daemons
[15:22] <moetunes> !es
[15:22] <bl4ckc00k1e_> acicula, sorry was a mistake
[15:22] <Xpistos> is there a special way to tag ogg files or easy tag should be able to handle it?
[15:23] <stevecam> i find that there is just as much solder work in a laptop as there is in a pc
[15:23] <bl4ckc00k1e_> ey guys can help me with my sound?? in alsamixer onle y see master and pcmi...
[15:23] <Ghost|BTFH> Xpistos: Easy Tag for the win.
[15:23] <bl4ckc00k1e_> i cant lisen someting with headphones
[15:23] <moetunes> hmw:  I edited the files in /etcinit.d for that - if you mean during boot]
[15:24] <moetunes> */etc/init.d hmw
[15:24] <hmw> moetunes: are you serious??
[15:25] <hmw> moetunes: go to the files and look for echo "[ ok ]" - you wont find it
[15:25] <acicula> hmw: you have to tinker with the bootscritps a bit to change the text and colors these output
[15:25] <moetunes> hmw: yep - I might have guessed your question wrong - you were vague
[15:25] <Nucleus> Where do i download ubuntu 9.10 x64 ? I can't find it in ubuntu.com :|
[15:25] <acicula> Nucleus: its called amd64
[15:25] <acicula> Nucleus: selecting the 64 bit option will get it
[15:26] <Ghost|BTFH> Nucleus: http://releases.ubuntu.com/9.10/
[15:26] <Xpistos> Ghost|BTFH: Thanks brother!
[15:26] <DexterLB> I executed the classic fork bomb and now my system is broken (X doesn't start and I'm dropped to tty1)
[15:26] <DexterLB> what can I do?
[15:26] <Ghost|BTFH> Xpistos: No problem. :)
[15:26] <acicula> DexterLB: kill the fork bomb and do a service gdm stop and start
[15:26] <Ghost|BTFH> ^^^^ And don't do it again.
[15:27] <DexterLB> well I shit the PC down
[15:27] <DexterLB> so the fork bomb is non-existant
[15:27] <DexterLB> but I'll try /etc/init.d/gdm restart (or start)
[15:27] <DexterLB> brb
[15:27] <acicula> x doesnt come up after you reboot?
[15:27] <hmw> moetunes: acicula: perhaps i did ... i started to look in /etc/init.d and finally ended up trying to manipulate /lib/lsb/init-functions, but my file does not look like all the tutorials claim, and it does not contain echo "[ OK ]" or soemthing, only fail and warning
[15:27] <DexterLB> acicula: yes
[15:28] <acicula> hmw: manipulating init-functions sounds like a decent place to do it
[15:28] <acicula> DexterLB: try reconfiguring x
[15:28] <moetunes> hmw: a hint - where it says "echo" if you want colour you need "echo -e"
[15:28] <acicula> via a rescue console
[15:29] <hmw> acicula: i want to have the "if log_use_fancy_output; then" to trigger... i cant find that function
[15:29] <moetunes> hmw: apart from that I'm done
[15:29] <hmw> moetunes: thanks... btw... acicula: i am using 9.04
[15:30] <acicula> hmw: im sure its possible, but cant be specific on where you should look
[15:30] <hmw> irs so weird
[15:30] <Ghost|BTFH> lunks: How's the DL time doing?
[15:30] <DexterLB> nope, gdm won't start. I get an error
[15:30] <Nucleus> Thanks
[15:30] <hmw> its either echo . (if a var == 0) or echo "warning" or "fail". No "ok"
[15:31] <DexterLB> brb and I'll tell you what the error is
[15:31] <Ghost|BTFH> DexterLB: Pastbin the error and link it if you can.
[15:31] <acicula> hmw: well does the boot sequence echo ok to begin with?
[15:32] <hmw> acicula: the init scripts return 0 on success. if they return anything else, it ends up in [fail] or something. i don't know, where the calling script is.
[15:33] <acicula> upstart handles the starting of the scripts
[15:33] <hmw> acicula: i have jaunty
[15:33] <jayer89> hello
[15:33] <hmw> isnt upstart a grub replacement?
[15:33] <jayer89> i have a question
[15:33] <acicula> hmm thats still sysvinit i think?
[15:33] <hmw> yes
[15:33] <jayer89> to use wine do i need to have windows installed
[15:33] <jayer89> ?
[15:33] <acicula> isnt it just init iterating through the runlevel dir?
[15:34] <genii> jayer89: No
[15:34] <javatexan> just curious, is there something like active directory in ubuntu....from the server side?  It would be nice to have my users login on any machine and have policies, etc.
[15:34] <acicula> jayer89: no you do not need windows to use wine
[15:34] <hmw> acicula: i can't remember
[15:34] <moetunes> acicula: I think it's initrd he's talking about
[15:34] <jayer89> how would i install a program that is for windows inside wine
[15:34] <acicula> javatexan: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/samba-ad-integration.html ?
[15:35] <hmw> somewhere must be a echo [ ok ] statement, and i am determined to find it lol ... thanks for your time
[15:35] <llutz> hmw: seen this? not sure if related http://fatcat.ftj.agh.edu.pl/~przyboro/other/init-functions
[15:35] <acicula> !wine | jayer89: wine <program>, also have a read here
[15:35] <acicula> !wine
[15:35] <DexterLB> the gdm start error is "Rejected send message" and stack
[15:36] <Kikinho> alguien
[15:36] <hmw> llutz: that's one of those tutorials, that tell me to change this file, but mine looks not like this. the example has the mentioned "echo [ OK ]" command, my file does NOT  !!
[15:36] <Kikinho> español
[15:36] <erUSUL> !es | Kikinho
[15:36] <hmw> llutz: it is often using   if log_use_fancy_output; then   statements, i guess i should find that function
[15:37] <Kikinho> quien eres
[15:37] <Kikinho> erusul
[15:37] <erUSUL> Kikinho: an ubuntu user
[15:38] <bill_> How can I capture audio from my computer with ffmpeg?
[15:38] <aaron> Hello everyone
[15:38] <acicula> bill_: you mean rip the audio from a video file?
[15:38] <marcuy> i'm booting from a livecd to restore my grub2 configuration, but when I mount the linux partition on /mnt and tried to execute 'sudo chroot /mnt' i get chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Exec format error anyone knows how to fix it_
[15:39] <Ghost|BTFH> Bill_: you mean like...audio streams?
[15:39] <bill_> acicula Yes, or for example I want to play a youtube video and grab the audio
[15:39] <jraxxo> hey
[15:39] <acicula> marcuy: chroot sets the root to that dir
[15:39] <acicula> and then tries to spawn a shell from that roots /bin/bash
[15:39] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH Yes, any kind, from a video file or mp3
[15:39] <Guest30861> I am completely new to ubuntu and linux in general, and I installed the OS and since my audio doesn't work.
[15:39] <k0d3g3ar> has there been recent changes in software updates for 9.10 that would stop all of my computers with PPTP VPN access from working on VPN connections?   No network routes are working anymore (but the Windoze machines are still working fine).  Its affected all Ubuntu systems at the same time.
[15:39] <acicula> so without a /mnt/bin/bash (and everything else you need) its not going to work
[15:40] <freeman> anyone know of any good newsletter mailing list software that is open sourced? I want to put a sign up on my website and with ubuntu send out the mass mail
[15:40] <k0d3g3ar> freeman:  phplist
[15:40] <tembrae> anyone know how to do the compiz show all screens when u go with cursor to corner of desktop?
[15:40] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: http://ask.metafilter.com/32867/How-to-capture-audio-streams that might be what you're looking for.
[15:40] <marcuy> acicula: I have /mnt/bin/bash because it's the partition of linux
[15:40] <bill_> Thanks man!!
[15:40] <acicula> marcuy: you need to chroot into where you mounted your ubuntu
[15:40] <Ghost|BTFH> No problemo.
[15:40] <ManDay> <---- I want to sort a list of files in nautilus according to FILEENDING - is that possible? FOr example I've several fileendings in my directory but they are all "plain text"!
[15:40] <jraxxo> I've got a problem with my pc.... I installed kubuntu 10.04 beta and it won't recognize my realtek (RTL-8111C) adapter even though i have installed the official driver from realtek. any advice?
[15:40] <marcuy> acicula: I had mounted it on /mnt
[15:41] <freeman> sweet thanks k0d3g3ar
[15:41] <acicula> marcuy: can you pastebin the output from mount and ls /mnt ?
[15:41] <Ghost|BTFH> jraxxo: Try #ubuntu+1 for Lucid help.
[15:41] <marcuy> acicula: sure
[15:41] <jraxxo> thanks
[15:42] <tembrae> anyone know how to do the compiz show all screens when u go with cursor to corner of desktop?

[15:42] <jldupont> hi - is it just me or the latest updates for Karmic are unstable?
[15:42] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH I'm using this command : ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 30 -i :0.0 /tmp/out.mpg -f oss -i /dev/dsp It works but the file has no audio. Is /dev/dsp the usual name for a soundcard?
[15:43] <jldupont> Nautilus keeps crashing
[15:43] <jldupont> copying files: at the end of file copy, all Nautilus instances exit
[15:43] <marcuy> acicula: http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=5w0P22EW
[15:43] <fagan> jldupont: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[15:43] <jldupont> karmic
[15:43] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: You should use whatever your sound card's name is, if I recall correctly...like, mine would be /dev/sb
[15:44] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH The site you gave me left the -f oss -i (Sound device) field blank.
[15:44] <jldupont> always with the latest updates
[15:44] <jldupont> I've got Samba running too.
[15:44] <klappi> will my friend with windows xp will be able to read a dvd i burn with udf under k3b?
[15:44] <acicula> marcuy: output of file /mnt/bin/bash and uname -a ?
[15:44] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH How can I find out my soundcard's name?
[15:44] <jldupont> fagan: any clues?
[15:44] <autoclesis> does the ubuntu approximation of lightscribe work
[15:44] <autoclesis> or should i even bother
[15:45] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: You running Pulse or ALSA?
[15:45] <fagan> jldupont: nope, id have to see a bug report to get a good idea of whats wrong
[15:45] <marcuy> acicula: http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=ETUaMhhe
[15:45] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH Karmic, I think it's ALSA,,,,pulse doesn't work.
[15:45] <fagan> jldupont: does ubuntu pick up on the error?
[15:45] <jldupont> fagan: I'd like to produce a bug report but it is not deterministic
[15:46] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: asoundconf list
[15:46] <jldupont> fagan: where should I look?
[15:46] <jldupont> fagan: dmesg?
[15:46] <acicula> marcuy: and file /mnt/bin/bash ?
[15:46] <acicula> file as a command
[15:46] <marcuy> acicula: ops ;)
[15:46] <h2o> hi
[15:46] <fagan> jldupont: nope, apport should pick up on the crash and ask if you want to submit the bug report
[15:46] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH It said...command not found
[15:47] <h2o> can anyone help me,. whit something very easy ?
[15:47] <DexterLB> so, what are the things I could do if gdm doesn't start?
[15:47] <jldupont> fagan: apport?
[15:47] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Hmmm...then you're probably running pulse or you haven't installed asoundconf (which is a sin if you run alsa)
[15:47] <acicula> marcuy: it probably says 64 bit executable?
[15:47] <jldupont> never heard of this.
[15:47] <fagan> jldupont: try run nautilus in terminal and give me the output after the crash
[15:47] <marcuy> http://pastebin.com/4X9BLVE5
[15:47] <marcuy> acicula: http://pastebin.com/4X9BLVE5
[15:47] <jldupont> fagan: good idea.
[15:47] <marcuy> acicula: you are right
[15:47] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Check System -> Preferences -> Sound.  If that works, you're using Pulse.  Should have the info in there...if it hangs, you're using ALSA, go download asoundconf.
[15:47] <agony_> Do you know someone if in Preston exist ubuntu team ?
[15:47] <moetunes> h2o: just jump in when it's busy - no point being shy here
[15:48] <jldupont> fagan: I've got lots of segfaults error related to Nautilus in dmesg...
[15:48] <acicula> marcuy: you are trying to chroot from a 32bit livecd to a 64bit system, which does not work
[15:48] <marcuy> so the problem is that I'm trying to execute a 64bits file with a 32bits system?

[15:48] <marcuy> acicula: mmmm
[15:48] <fagan> jldupont: segfaults dont help too much in figuring out whats wrong
[15:48] <acicula> marcuy: you can chroot from 64bit to 32bit but not vice versa since the kernel does not support 64bit if its pure 32bit, try again with a 64bit livecd
[15:48] <jldupont> fagan: ok.
[15:48] <marcuy> acicula: do you have any idea how can I fix grub2 instead?
[15:48] <fagan> jldupont: oh you are using dropbox
[15:49] <fagan> jldupont: that may be the problem
[15:49] <flad> is essid the name of a network, og the address of it?
[15:49] <jldupont> fagan: ok, will try to get rid of it... never had a problem until a couple of days ago with latest Samba etc updates.
[15:49] <acicula> marcuy: easiest way is chrooting into your system as you have to run some programs if you have to reinstall the bootloader
[15:49] <marcuy> acicula: I get it.. the problem is that I don't have any 64 livecd close to me..
[15:49] <acicula> marcuy: well any computer and a usb stick will do
[15:49] <mrboom> any body help me plz//// I installed warcraft 3. but it inhibit
[15:50] <fagan> jldupont: samba is very stable it shouldnt cause crashes like that in nautilus
[15:50] <acicula> marcuy: you can make a 64bit livecd/usb from the 32bit livecd
[15:50] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH In My sound config. box in KDE, under capture it lists My Intel device, under it is pulseaudio, but pulseaudio is 'greyed' out, not available......wait I'll download asoundconf....
[15:50] <acicula> !usb
[15:50] <jldupont> fagan: then it's probably dropbox playing some tricks...
[15:50] <mrboom> кто говорит по русске
[15:50] <moetunes> mrboom: using wine?
[15:50] <mrboom> yeah
[15:50] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Ooooo...kde...you're using ARTS.
[15:50] <fagan> jldupont: well you could use ubuntu one instead anyway
[15:50] <DexterLB> I did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg gdm but gdm still doesn't want to start and drops me into tty1
[15:50] <jldupont> fagan: I am using Chrome and this one too keeps crashing.... with no signs of bug reports on the Chrome side...
[15:51] <moetunes> mrboom: try #winehq
[15:51] <jldupont> Ubuntu One ?   can transfer to Windozes machines??
[15:51] <marcuy> acicula: u've been really helpful thanks!
[15:51] <mrboom> maybe try to install cedega ?
[15:51] <fagan> jldupont: it can but you have to use the web interface for windows
[15:51] <jldupont> fagan: thanks for the tip!
[15:51] <fagan> jldupont: they are working on a windows client though
[15:51]  * jldupont now thinking this was obvious...
[15:52] <acicula> marcuy: yw, good luck with making a rescue stick/cd
[15:52] <mrboom> any body play on garena ??????
[15:52] <aaron> Hello. I need help with setting up a You Tube search engine for Midori but am running into a problem. The You Tube engine doesnt search You tube videos but searches channels. Can someone help me set it up? Thank you!
[15:52] <jldupont> fagan: thanks for your help... will try 'dropping' dropbox for a while to see what's cookin'
[15:52] <jldupont> *droping
[15:53] <jldupont> **dropping
[15:53] <DexterLB> now when I type 'service gdm start' or 'start gdm' in a root shell it says it's started, but then if I try restart it says unknown instance, so it isn't started
[15:53] <moetunes> jldupont: dropping was right :)
[15:53] <DexterLB> what could the problem be?
[15:53] <fagan> jldupont: all I know is that nautilus shouldnt crash like that without something else breaking it
[15:53] <marcuy> acicula: i'm on the way for it ;)
[15:53] <DexterLB> any way to repair that?
[15:53] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH I installed asoundconf and the gtk app, it still says command not found from the shell, the program appears in the kicker menu, but does not run. I installed it from Kpackage manager
[15:54] <Ghost|BTFH> DexterLB: Have you tried CTRL+ALT+F7 to get to the default GDM display?
[15:54] <jldupont> fagan:  ah ah!  dropbox bug report: http://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=17578&replies=8
[15:54] <DexterLB> Ghost|BTFH: of course, yeah
[15:54] <fagan> jldupont: that looks like the problem
[15:54] <DexterLB> Ghost|BTFH: nothing happens, as if tty7 doesn't exist
[15:55] <aaron11> Hello. I need help with setting up a You Tube search engine for Midori but am running into a problem. The You Tube engine doesnt search You tube videos but searches channels. Can someone help me set it up? Thank you!
[15:55] <ManDay> <---- I want to sort a list of files in nautilus according to FILEENDING - is that possible? FOr example I've several fileendings in my directory but they are all "plain text"!
[15:55]  * jldupont this time, segfaults report did help track down the issue....
[15:55] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Try sudo asoundconf
[15:55] <jaoudestudios> hi
[15:55] <DexterLB> ok... I'll be doing a clean install of lucid anyway... if I install the beta now will it be easy to do a network upgrade to the release when it's released or will it break a lot of stuff?
[15:56] <jaoudestudios> is there a way to sleep ubuntu remotely and wake it on demand
[15:56] <Ghost|BTFH> DexterLB: That's really odd...but it doesn't error or anything, just starts the gdm with no complaints?
[15:56] <DexterLB> Ghost|BTFH: well it used to error
[15:56] <polo> Askum
[15:56] <moetunes> DexterLB: there'll be an option to upgrade
[15:56] <DexterLB> Ghost|BTFH: but I did 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg gdm' and it doesn't error any more
[15:57] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH got this message..........sh: /usr/bin/asoundconf: not found
[15:57] <bill_> You need to make sure asoundconf is active!
[15:57] <bill_> By default, asoundconf's configuration file is ~/.asoundrc.asoundconf
[15:57] <bill_> and must be included in ~/.asoundrc. Open this file to make sure it is!
[15:57] <bill_> .................wait a second, I'll just check it out
[15:57] <FloodBot1> bill_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:57] <DexterLB> moetunes: I know ther will be, but will it change lots of settings etc?
[15:57] <Ghost|BTFH> DexterLB: >_< So it half solved the problem...heh.
[15:57] <jaoudestudios> without using wake-on-lan
[15:57] <jaoudestudios> as it is an old machine
[15:57] <jaoudestudios> with no WoL :(
[15:57] <moetunes> DexterLB: depends on what they need to fix - #ubuntu+1 will know
[15:58] <DexterLB> Ghost|BTFH: having half of your blood is better than having none but you're still dead
[15:58] <Ghost|BTFH> DexterLB: Indeed.
[15:58] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH that's weird I couldn't find that file /.asoundrc
[15:59] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: No surprise...sec.
[15:59] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH I'm doing a 'find file' search in dolphin.........
[16:00] <moetunes> find flogs the hd
[16:01] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Actually I believe the issue is that they, in their infinite wisdom, removed asoundconf functionality in karmic.  If I recall correctly, I resolved this problem by installing asoundconf from Jaunty.
[16:02] <Flimm> I can share my desktop with my friend using Empathy, however, I can't do it the other way round, I get this error:
[16:02] <Flimm> Connection to host <IP_ADDRESS>::39925 was closed.
[16:02] <Flimm> Any one know what's wrong?
[16:02] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH I see, is there any other way I can find out the name of my sound card? The file search in dolphin said.....0 files found
[16:04] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Sadly, the only way I can think of accurately is asoundconf...other than that, you *might* be able to accurately guess its name from lspci or lshw, but asoundconf just gives you the straight scoop on the actual name used.
[16:05] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Like my lspci shows it's an Intel HDA blah blah blah, but then says SBx00 and its real name is SB
[16:05] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH .........bugger!! Wait...I'll try it...
[16:05] <Ghost|BAFK> Be back in a bit.

[16:22] <discozohan> Hello. Is there any point to buy 4gb of memory for ubuntu x32? Or there won't be any difference vs 3gb ?
[16:22] <greenglyph> I'm assuming that the '!' means 'not' and in the ppp+ , the '+' is a wildcard.
[16:22] <DexterLB> so... -d is an option to a command you've been told
[16:22] <greenglyph> Is this true?
[16:22] <hmw> greenglyph: iptables script? yes
[16:23]  * DexterLB starts burning lucidbeta1 to cd
[16:23] <greenglyph> hmw: thanks. in the case of ppp+, would there be a way to declare an 'or' statement there?

[16:24] <DexterLB> although I've upgraded lots of times I never know what to back up
[16:24] <hmw> greenglyph: you mean like "ppp+ or eth+"? I don't know, guessing "no". I'd expect it to be done with 2 separate rules
[16:24] <greenglyph> Okay. Thanks again.
[16:24] <invitingdopeman> yo dudes what do i do next
[16:25] <DexterLB> invitingdopeman: dunno, I lost track

[16:26] <discozohan> Should i buy 4gb of opera for x32 ubuntu, or 3gb will be enough ? Anyone ?
[16:26] <switch10_> winterelf: it is a tar.gz?
[16:26] <switch10_> winterelf: or .tar
[16:26] <znik> how can i uninstalll a bin file i have installed on my ubuntu 9.10?
[16:26] <ZykoticK9> winterelf, BUT perhaps making a symlink from /usr/local/bin to /bin/bash might get around the configure error
[16:26] <Star2010> more is always better
[16:27] <winterelf> switch10_:yes
[16:27] <greenglyph> 4gb of opera???
[16:27] <switch10_> winterelf: is there a readme included in the tar?
[16:27] <iceroot> znik: depending on the file
[16:28] <iceroot> discozohan: you cant use 4gb ram with 32bit (without pae) you only will get ~3.3GB
[16:28] <znik> iceroot: it was *.bin file and installed itself in the applications .
[16:28] <winterelf> switch10_:yes, there's readme file and more readable files
[16:29] <znik> iceroot: there is no uninstall opyion
, yup, i know, but i asked this question to be sure, that there is no anything around it, that i don't know -.-
[16:29] <switch10_> winterelf: that readme should explain exactly how to install it.
[16:30] <invitingdopeman> how can i hack into my lan
[16:30] <ZykoticK9> switch10_, winterelf's issue is the ./configure step is looking for /usr/local/bin/bash, thus my suggestions to create a symlink
[16:30] <frxstrem> what is the /tmp directory for?
[16:30] <greenglyph> dopeman: what exactly do you mean?
[16:30] <stevecam> invitingdopeman, whoops, wrong chat room!
[16:30] <winterelf> switch10_:i'll check if i missed something but i did what i should with the steps in this site: http://www.bitchx.com/faq.php
[16:30] <popey> frxstrem: storing temporary files
[16:30] <switch10_> invitingdopeman: <IP_ADDRESS>???
[16:30] <frxstrem> popey: so is it safe to delete the files in that directory?
[16:30] <yvan300> could someone tell me where the conky config file is located?
[16:30] <popey> frxstrem: generally not
[16:31] <popey> frxstrem: unless you created them
[16:31] <frxstrem> popey: okay, thanks for your answer :)
[16:31] <switch10_> yvan300: ~/.conkyrc
[16:31] <znik> iceroot: so how can i uninstall?
[16:31] <winterelf> ZykoticKs: how should i do that? i have no much of idea
[16:32] <Ghost|BAFK> bill_: I'm back, you get everything resolved yet?
[16:32] <greenglyph> Take care, all. Prank someone today. Even if it's a just a tiny little prank.
[16:32] <ZykoticK9> winterelf, cd /usr/local/bin && sudo ln -s /bin/bash
[16:33] <bill_> Ghost|BAFK no......from the forums it came down to ppl asking canonical to release asoundconf for karmic users...I figured I might just install intrepid in a virtual machine and run asoundconf from there......
[16:34] <DexterLB> allright, lucid time
[16:34] <Ghost|BAFK> bill_: Meh, I just installed the jaunty version after uninstalling it in karmic.
[16:34] <DexterLB> wish me luck
[16:34] <ZykoticK9> DexterLB, wait!
[16:34] <Ghost|BAFK> bill_:  Works flawlessly.
[16:34] <DexterLB> ZykoticK9: what
[16:35] <k0d3g3ar> what log file contains errors relating to network routing?
[16:35] <bill_> Ghost|BAFK So you are running Ubuntu Jaunty?
[16:35] <ZykoticK9> DexterLB, don't upgrade right now -- see #ubuntu+1 channel topic - Lucid packages are broken, thus "GNOME 2.30 being uploaded. Packages are in-flux, so don't upgrade yet."
[16:35] <DexterLB> ZykoticK9: I'm not upgrading, I'm doing a clean install
[16:35] <winterelf> ZykoticKs: dude , thanks
[16:35] <Ghost|BAFK> bill_: No no, I run Karmic.  But I uninstalled asoundconf and grabbed the Jaunty package and installed that manually.
[16:36] <winterelf> switch10_: thanks too :)
[16:36] <ZykoticK9> DexterLB, ok - all good then! But don't try to do any updates after install, until things are resolved - if you get a Partial upgrade available - don't do it
[16:36] <neothecat> can anyone recommend something like a a freenas interface i can run on top of ubuntu server?
[16:36] <moetunes> ZykoticK9: doesn't say any packages are broken
[16:37] <ZykoticK9> moetunes, it's a partial upgrade situation - if you try upgrading thing will break
[16:37] <bill_> Ghost|BAFK ........I suppose I could do that....install Jaunty> grab the asoundconf deb package, and then reinstall it into Karmic......
[16:37] <ZykoticK9> moetunes, "Packages are in-flux, so don't upgrade yet" translates to "things are kinda broken - don't upgrade"
[16:37] <moetunes> ZykoticK9: but you said ZykoticK9> DexterLB, don't upgrade right now -- see #ubuntu+1 channel topic - Lucid packages are broken, - none are mentioned as broken

[16:42] <arakthor> yvan300, you might be able to use `which conky` to determine where the executable is. In my experience, most programs from apt are usually installed in /usr/share/<programname> if that helps

[16:49] <night> hmm i've added disable-mouse3buttons.fdi to my  /etc/hal/fdi/policy/, restarted x, then my computer as  well, but emulate3buttons is still active, here's my fdi  for that: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/196352/ so.. what am  I doing wrong with this?
[16:49] <theadmin> Gibby: You kill the window manager, what do you expect?
[16:49] <ZykoticK9> MisterWiki|busy, add the drive to the fstab file
[16:49] <moetunes> yvan300: default_shade_color  is what it is - sorry
[16:49] <Gibby> theadmin, but compiz is locking up my system
[16:49] <Gibby> it is a fresh install with nvidia 195.36.15
[16:49] <theadmin> Gibby: Hit alt+f2, do "metacity --replace", then trough preferences disable compiz completely
[16:50] <MisterWiki|busy> what's fstab?
[16:50] <MisterWiki|busy> (sorry :P)
[16:50] <yvan300> moetunes, all i see is default colour which is set to FFFFF
[16:50] <theadmin> ubottu: fstab | MisterWiki|busy
[16:50] <night> hmm i've added disable-mouse3buttons.fdi to my  /etc/hal/fdi/policy/, restarted x, then my computer as  well, but emulate3buttons is still active, here's my fdi  for that: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/196352/ so.. what am  I doing wrong with this?
[16:50] <MisterWiki|busy> :P
[16:50] <soreau> ! fstab | MisterWiki|busy
[16:50] <moetunes> yvan300: set the default_shade_color to the same for now
[16:51] <theadmin> soreau: Beat you to it :P
[16:51] <Gibby> theadmin, I get Window manger error: Unable to open X Display
[16:51] <soreau> theadmin: oh, didnt see you there
[16:51] <theadmin> Gibby: Huh, wha? Ahem, do you currently have a desktop running?
[16:51] <Gibby> theadmin, yep, even did a service gdm restart
[16:51] <theadmin> Gibby: Huh.
[16:51] <Gibby> it is sitting there waiting for me to click my name and log in
[16:52] <theadmin> Gibby: No idea :/
[16:52] <yvan300> moetunes, it's the same way :(
[16:52] <soreau> Gibby: If you log in what happens?
[16:52] <Gibby> soreau, it logs me out immediatley
[16:52] <soreau> Gibby: If you need to disable compiz without logging in, run chmod -x /usr/bin/compiz.real
[16:52] <theadmin> soreau: Is it THAT simple?
[16:52] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH Installed it, I ran the ffmpeg commannd ....ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 30 -i :0.0 /tmp/oujggjt.mpg -f oss -i Intel.........but NG);  I/O error occurred
[16:52] <bill_> Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted.
[16:53] <soreau> theadmin: yes
[16:53] <theadmin> soreau: Cool.
[16:53] <moetunes> yvan300: I have shades on my 3 conkys - don't know what else to say - maybe search the forum
[16:53] <theadmin> soreau: gotta love the CLI
[16:53] <moetunes> !forum
[16:53] <jayer89> who can help me with wine
[16:53] <theadmin> jayer89: How about visiting #winehq ?
[16:53] <jayer89> im there now
[16:54] <jayer89> but no one is replying
[16:54] <yvan300> moetunes, ok cool
[16:54] <Gibby> still no go, can't log in, I get a red X above the login screen
[16:54] <dtcrshr> ZykoticK9, is there a gui for it?
[16:54] <theadmin> jayer89: aw, bad. Well, if they can't help, doubt we can
[16:54] <jayer89> well can we try ?
[16:54] <theadmin> Gibby: Okay, did you perform that command? As root?
[16:54] <theadmin> jayer89: Well, okay, shoot it
[16:54] <soreau> Gibby: Sounds like you have many more problems than just drivers or compiz then
[16:54] <Gibby> theadmin, yep
[16:54] <jayer89> i have just installed a game in wine and it will not launch
[16:54] <ZykoticK9> dtcrshr, don't think so
[16:55] <theadmin> jayer89: Details. What game? How do you launch it?
[16:55] <Gibby> soreau, I think it is b/c i ran apt-get --purge remove emerald fusion-icon compiz compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra emerald librsvg2-common
[16:55] <jayer89> the game is called crossfire
[16:55] <soreau> Gibby: Yea, no reason to do that
[16:55] <Gibby> soreau, I read that is how to install compiz, so I figured that is how to remove it lol
[16:55] <Gibby> not a good a idea
[16:55] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: So asoundconf list shows it as INTEL?
[16:55] <theadmin> jayer89: huh o_O That reminds me of crossover, a commercial version of WINE :D
[16:55] <jayer89> and usually i would just start it up and log in and play it on windows but i have no idea why it isnt starting up
[16:56] <soreau> Gibby: Reinstall at least librsvg2-common should get restore the red X most likely
[16:56] <theadmin> jayer89: Well, WINE can't be perfect.
[16:56] <ZykoticK9> jayer89, seems to get a Garbage rating http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=15850&iTestingId=38887
[16:56] <bluestar> hey
[16:56] <stefania_> ciao

[16:56] <Guest59659> just stopping by
[16:57] <Ghost|BTFH> stefania_: Salut.
[16:57] <Gibby> sorea, yep 1 sec
[16:57] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Did you put it down exactly as it's shown? (ie case seNsiTive?)
[16:58] <Guest59659> bbak
[16:58] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH Yes, I just double checked it.
[16:58] <genii> Is there a way to get an USB floppy to recognize as a floppy and not a hdd ?
[16:58] <mod> Any one have suggestions for getting around printing issues with Ubuntu+Chrome?  I've spend hours trying suggestiosn from the web, no luck
[16:59] <mod> genii, what would the difference be?  A block device is a block device.
[16:59] <raj-darkmystery> mod, whtz d problem wid chrome?
[17:00] <mod> raj-darkmystery, doesn't print, heh.  Well once in a while does.  When I print from Chrome, queues stick, printer not found.  When I print from FF or OO, its fine.
[17:00] <bohne> hi i have a dell vostro 200 with 64bit ubuntu 2.6.28-18-generic only addressing 3.3GB ram of 4GB, does anyone know why?
[17:00] <night> how do I turn off Emulate3Buttons?
[17:01] <theadmin> bohne: Which Ubuntu version? Might be important
[17:01] <mod> bohne, I bet your onboard video is eating up 768k
[17:01] <mod> er 768M
[17:01] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Okay, let's go back to square one...you're wanting to take file foo.mpg and strip the audio from it, correct?
[17:01] <bohne> mod: ah i see
[17:01] <ZykoticK9> bohne, what is the output of "uname -m" from a terminal?
[17:01] <mod> bohne, go into your bios and see
[17:01] <bohne> uname -m
[17:01] <bohne> x86_64
[17:01] <bohne>
[17:01] <ZykoticK9> bohne, ya - that's the 64bit version all right
[17:02] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH Actually I want to capture sound and video from my desktop. For example, I play the matrix movie in Totem, and capture itsound and video.......using ffmpeg
[17:02] <bohne> mod: thanks
[17:02] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Hmmm...okay...so, what are you using to view the file?
[17:02] <theadmin> If only VLC didn't have issues with capturing audio, i'd LOVE it
[17:02] <DarthVader> anyone here code PHP?
[17:02] <theadmin> DarthVader: How about going to #php ?
[17:03] <costre> if vlc supported vdpau, I'd love it
[17:03] <Bahe> !lucid | Bahe
[17:03] <DarthVader> I went to #php and was thrown to #overflow
[17:03] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH Xine, or youtube....or any video player...but I have been trying with xine...actually i want to capture the whole desktop with the xine video player window on the desktop
[17:04] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Gimmie a minute or three, it's been awhile since I used xine (I just run vlc for most of my video luvin')
[17:04] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Is it streaming video?
[17:05] <Ghost|BTFH> Well, duh
[17:05] <JohnTed> What is the irc channel to talk about lucid?
[17:05] <Ghost|BTFH> It would kinda have to be since you want to capture it.
[17:05] <Ghost|BTFH> #ubuntu+1
[17:05] <JohnTed> thanks
[17:05] <night> So anyone here know how to turn off Emulate3Buttons?? It doesn't work from hal, I'm running a xorgless config so that's out of option too.. any other suggestions?
[17:05] <genii> mod: Sector/head etc needs to be specified with ufiformat, then mkfs.xxx applied. So at the moment the prob is that I have a bios update floppy which is a win .exe that when run in wine and specified to use /dev/sdd for instance can't understand the underlying capacity
[17:05] <daftykins> create a xorg.conf
[17:05] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH Yes, that's what I want to do, I want to record my desktop, video and sound ...just like the utility recordmydesktop...but with the ffmpeg command
[17:06] <night> daftykins: to what purpose?
[17:06] <night> daftykins: My system is configured to *not* use xorg.conf
[17:06] <daftykins> disable the 3 button emulation
[17:06] <daftykins> so you're saying you're optionally avoiding a potential solution?
[17:06] <yvan300> what's the command to add a ppa in karmic?
[17:07] <daftykins> apt-add iirc
[17:07] <yvan300> thanks
[17:07] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Sorry to ask, but what's the command you're using again for it?
[17:07] <trism> yvan300: add-apt-repository ppa:ppa_name_here
[17:07] <night> daftykins: I am not optionally avoiding that solution because it's nto a solution, I don't want to reconfigure my system to xorg.conf
[17:07] <trism> yvan300: it will give the correct command on the ppa page
[17:08] <daftykins> night: ok gl then
[17:08] <yvan300> trism, thanks
[17:08] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH ffmpeg -f x11grab -s 1024x768 -r 30 -i :0.0 /tmp/out.mpg -f oss -i Intel
[17:09] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH  I think I just realised what's going on....mpg has no sound right??
[17:09] <djveer> Is there an offtopic channel for #Ubuntu ?
[17:09] <dhun> I update ubuntu and during that process an icon apperaed telling me that a remote user logged into my desktop, for obvious reasons I will have to reinstall that machine now, and am not amused about that
[17:09] <daftykins> !ot | djveer
[17:09] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Try ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 /tmp/out.mpg
[17:09] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: The x11 option is to yank video only.
[17:10] <djveer> ubottu: Thanks!
[17:10] <djveer> oh lol
[17:10] <daftykins> dhun: sounds like you had it configured badly
[17:10] <switch10_> dhun: do you use VNC at all?
[17:10] <daftykins> djveer: i triggeed it ;)
[17:10] <dhun> yes might be
[17:10] <Ghost|BTFH> Of course, /dev/dsp would probably be /dev/Intel or whatever.
[17:10] <daftykins> *triggered
[17:10] <djveer> daftykins: Well thank you! Hopefully you're not a bot
[17:10] <Ghost|BTFH> Not sure.
[17:10] <djveer> lol
[17:10] <daftykins> ^_^
[17:10]  * daftykins whirs
[17:10] <djveer> if so.. dang these bots are getting good
[17:10] <dhun> I don't know how it was configured exactly since I wasnt using the machnie for quite some time
[17:11] <Ghost|BTFH> daftykins: We're all bots.
[17:11] <dhun> but the error was caused by the update I think
[17:11] <dhun> maybe I allowed anybody to access it in my local net, behind the router
[17:11] <dhun> and the installation changed to worldwide
[17:12] <switch10_> dhun: it was a pop up in the top right corner right?  not an error message?
[17:12] <dhun> yes it was a pop up
[17:12] <paulina> olaa
[17:12] <Andurino2> hola, se puede preguntar en español?
[17:12] <paulina> aios

[17:12] <costre> dhun, could it someone you know, who knows your IP and your "standard passwords"?
[17:12] <dhun> no I don't think so
[17:12] <moetunes> *be
[17:12] <DexterLB> the lucid liveCD freezes right before starting window manager
[17:12] <Andurino2> la cuestion es que vengo de ubotty
[17:12] <dhun> and I am behind a router

[17:13] <dhun> it was open without password

[17:13] <arjunak01> how can i conference audio calls in pidign
[17:13] <stefania_> !list
[17:13] <costre> moetunes, My brain decided to skip that word :)
[17:13] <bill_> Ghost|BTFH /dev/video0: Error while opening file
[17:13] <switch10_> dhun: go to system>prefs>remote desktop, and see if it is even configured..
[17:13] <krabex> how can i recover my data using myrescue? i'm made a bitmap file but what next?
[17:13] <DexterLB> arjunak01: you can't
[17:13] <costre> dhun, That sucks :p
[17:13] <dhun> yes it was confuigured, to be open worldwide
[17:13] <moetunes> hehe
[17:13] <switch10_> dhun: ahh got ya.
[17:13] <arjunak01> DexterLB: then what should i do for call conference
[17:14] <dhun> and the dialog told me about a funny url under which you could reach my desktop
[17:14] <DexterLB> arjunak01: dunno, anything but pidgin
[17:14] <switch10_> dhun: so what are you going to do?
[17:14] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Hmmm....ermmm...not sure what video0 would be.
[17:14] <arjunak01>  DexterLB:how about empathy or will i have to use skype?
[17:14] <costre> dhun, reinstallation takes no time at all ... make a good backup :)
[17:15] <dhun> reinstall, and complain to you, because somehow the apt-get upgrade seems to have caused it
[17:15] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Check this out http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html and see if you can translate some of their quibble.
[17:15] <flakiferolin> Hi! I'm looking for some help configuring flashplayer in firefox, cause I can see only some videos (for eg) in youtube
[17:15] <dhun> reinstallation will take forever since I need a lot of special software
[17:15] <JohnTed> Can I make my $HOME an encrypted private directory? I want the entire thing to be encrypted.
[17:15] <dhun> somehow 5 hours
[17:15] <theadmin> flakiferolin: This is most likely a bug that you can not fix.
[17:16] <switch10_> dhun: make sure in your back up you dont save those config files for remote desktop...
[17:16] <arjunak01> DexterLB:how about empathy or will i have to use skype?
[17:16] <dhun> yes I will use debian this time
[17:16] <theadmin> arjunak01: You can't connect to Skype with empathy. You can only connect to Skype with Skype.
[17:16] <flakiferolin> theadmin: there is a way to make it run with chrome?
[17:16] <dhun> and I will not do any backup, I will just nuke it
[17:16] <theadmin> flakiferolin: No idea about that, i'm a devoted FF user
[17:16] <switch10_> dhun: sudo dpkg --get-selections > /home/user/backup/installed_packages
[17:17] <dhun> yes you can do
[17:17] <arjunak01> theadmin: what i meant was can i conference audio calls in empathy (or pidgin) or will i have to switch to skype
[17:17] <dhun> the problems is that other people are running into the same problem, while we are chatting
[17:18] <dhun> I think that a bot logged into my machine and took the desktop
[17:18] <moetunes> !who | dhun
[17:18] <arvind_khadri> flakiferolin, you cant view it, even after you restart FF ?
[17:18] <dhun> and this bot will keep waiting for new vitims
[17:18] <theadmin> arjunak01: AFAIR you can do so but i dunno
[17:19] <switch10_> dhun: highly unlikely
[17:20] <dhun> well very likely I think
[17:20] <switch10_> dhun: who else has experienced this problem?
[17:20] <Administer_> I am using Ubuntu 10.04 everything has worked fiine up untill my last upgrade then my networking stoped. My i get some assistance in fixing this problem?

[17:41] <chreekat> So why is it that when I use the Dvorak keyboard layout, Terminal still thinks I want qwerty as soon as I press and hold the control key?
[17:42] <Carlis> no, because It´s possible to install Microsoft Office with playonlinux
[17:42] <kolpur> switch10_: not working for me ..
[17:43] <switch10_> kolpur: sorry.
[17:43] <madjoe> How can I check how much free space has left for my wubi installation of Ubuntu? Is there a way to increase that somehow?
[17:43] <Carlis> I am trying to install a Microsoft Office Trial with playonlinux but I don´t see the Office Application in the list. How can i fix this issue ?
[17:43] <kolpur> i'm on gnome .. does that work on it ??
[17:43] <mezquitale> Carlis, if you want to test microsoft products then just install windows on virtualbox
[17:44] <wombatman> no wine can be just as good at times maybe not for office
[17:44] <wombatman> i think more people should just use openoffice
[17:44] <switch10_> Carlis: it is better to run native Linux apps in Linux.  OPen Office is great.  I don't see a reason for anybody to run Mirco office on any platform..
[17:44] <bubbles|> hi
[17:44] <ubuntu_> how can i join some roob
[17:44] <terry_> Carlis: Did you see:  http://www.google.com/search?q=install+Microsoft+Office+with+playonlinux&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=uki&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbs=vid:1&tbo=u&ei=XM20S-yCHIP7lwf3vqh7&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&ct=title&resnum=1&ved=0CBEQqwQwAA ?
[17:45] <ubuntu_> #ubuntu_rs
[17:45] <wombatman> how exactly did ms think it was wise to abandon their own gdi stuff with the release of the new offices?
[17:45] <wombatman> ok
[17:45] <Gifted_Child> Hey Room
[17:45] <wombatman> thats offtopic
[17:45] <bubbles|> how can i deactivate the root acc again, if it has been activated?
[17:45] <wombatman> sorry
[17:45] <sinisterstuf> micrisoft office 2007 doesn't run well in linux, it does run, but not nicely, open office is better
[17:45] <sinisterstuf> active root acount? using bash# ?
[17:45] <sinisterstuf> or what?
[17:46] <Carlis> Thanks Terry
[17:46] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: SWEET!
[17:46] <chreekat> Carlis: For something to appear in "the list" (I'm assuming you mean the application list in the Ubuntu interface?) the program being installed has to be inside a package that knows about the list
[17:46] <madjoe> how can I increase a disk usage for my /home dir?
[17:46] <chreekat> ms office, of course, doesn't know a thing about it
[17:46] <wombatman> put more stuff in the directory
[17:46] <Devil_Wang> chreekat, faint
[17:46] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_:  I should have known it'd be something simple like alsa "default"
[17:47] <Carlis> I mean inside playonlinux
[17:47] <madjoe> wombatman: lol I tried to, but Ubuntu told me there's 51M only left for my /home dir... I use wubi.
[17:47] <chreekat> then i have no idea
[17:47] <terry_> madjoe: sudo passwd -l root
[17:47] <sinisterstuf> does anyone know how to copy an entire hard disc to another disk if the first one can't be mounted cos it's corrupt?
[17:47] <Gifted_Child> i have a question about the courser on booting up Ubuntu 9.10 is there a way to hide that so its just the boot splash
[17:48] <ikonia> sinisterstuf you would be copying the corruption then
[17:48] <sinisterstuf> yes
[17:48] <ikonia> sinisterstuf: so what's the point in that, as the new hard disk wouldn't mount either
[17:48] <switch10_> sinisterstuf: clonezilla maybe?
[17:48] <madjoe> terry_: oh, do you think I could put more stuff as a root?
[17:48] <sinisterstuf> because i need to work on fixing it, but i dont want to touch the original data incase i damage it further
[17:48] <sinisterstuf> i'm trying to fix it
[17:48] <ikonia> sinisterstuf: then do a block level copy with "dd"
[17:48] <Ghost|BTFH> sinisterstuf: gparted, copy/paste...clonezilla....both viable options.
[17:48] <terry_> madjoe: What?
[17:48] <Ghost|BTFH> What ikonia said.
[17:49] <ikonia> sinisterstuf: however if you don't know how to copy it, I don't you'll be able to fix it
[17:49] <madjoe> terry_: I don't understand your sudo passwd -l root
[17:49] <sinisterstuf> well, i'll cross that bridge when i get there
[17:49] <researcher1> I have a Ubuntu PC network but want users  to have less privileges. What should be the configuration on clients?
[17:49] <ubuntu__> can anybody  help me with installing grub ?
[17:49] <sinisterstuf> the guys in the NWLUG suggested some tool for me to try, that might fix it
[17:49] <terry_> madjoe: http://www.debianadmin.com/enable-and-disable-ubuntu-root-password.html
[17:49] <ikonia> researcher1: less privileges to what
[17:49] <terry_> ubuntu__: apt-get install grub
[17:49] <Ghost|BTFH> Ahhh, the Teddy Kennedy approach...he'll drive into that bridge when he goes under it.
[17:50] <ubuntu__> yes but
[17:50] <mezquitale> switch10_, you know how to add a string into the boot up menu?  Instead of saying just plain "ubuntu" I want to put "ubuntu karmic", Im trying testing lucid in another partition and i would like the menu to be a little more descriptibe
[17:50] <TA_> this is probably not related to ubuntu, but it is about security. Which encryption method is the best when using truecrypt? AES, Serpent, Two-fish, AES-twofish, AES-twofish-serpent,  serpent-AES, serpent-twofish-AES or twofish-serpent?
[17:50] <researcher1> I dont want clients to install any program but just surf Internet there
[17:50] <madjoe> terry_: I don't see how is that related to my question
[17:50] <ikonia> researcher1: non-privileges users (not in the admin group) can't install anything
[17:50] <switch10_> mezquitale: I dont know how with grub2..  check the wiki
[17:51] <sinisterstuf> thanks for the help, i'll be back
[17:51] <madjoe> How can I check how much free space has left for my wubi installation of Ubuntu? Is there a way to increase that somehow?

[17:52] <sinisterstuf> anyway, g2g cheers
[17:52] <mezquitale> sinisterstuf, youre talking about data recovery, if you cant mount the hard drive it's pretty much dead, you have to revive it, if it ever wakes up from the dead then copy the entire drive(image) into a good known working drive, work on the image once it's copied on the hard drive that actually works
[17:52] <terry_> madjoe: df
[17:52] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: aoss = alsa driver for oss programs.
[17:52] <ZykoticK9> SingAlong, there is a "time" command - but run it before your regular command for example "time ls"
[17:52] <researcher1> ok.thanks
[17:52] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_:  So you can technically use that to run it as oss instead of as alsa...
[17:53] <mezquitale> switch10_, thanks, startupmanager couldnt make the changes with karmic, im booting lucid to see if it's able to make the changes
[17:53] <ZykoticK9> SingAlong, s/but/put

[17:54] <mezquitale> ubuntu__, generally people will not help you in private unless it's really necessary, most of the time you want to post on the channel
[17:54] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: Errmm...if you aoss installed, I would "guess" you'd use /dev/dsp (which I think is the default for oss) ...which I probably should have thought of in the first place...
[17:55] <Ghost|BTFH> bill_: In my defense though, I did not have any caffeinated beverages before I started helping you.

[18:11] <costre> oops again :D
[18:12] <EntityReborn> exactly.
[18:12] <EntityReborn> How can I get Ubuntu to rescan my hardware for changes?
[18:12] <Trek> how can I send trash directly into oblivion so that i can't recover it?
[18:13] <prayii> System > Administration > Hardware Drivers
[18:13] <prayii> i think
[18:13] <biopyte> question 1: what package can i use to merge (reverse split) .mp3 or other siund files? question 2: playing audio-cd-roms using audacious2 or others, i observe havy load on the hard drive? why is this necessary, cant this be stopped? why cant the app pipeline the audio from the cd-drive directly to output?
[18:13] <Trek> is erUSUL or ikonia around?
[18:13] <ikonia> yes
[18:13] <Trek> ikonia: do you know of a command that I can use to redirect my trash into nothing or /dev/null?
[18:14] <ikonia> Trek: it's a gnome gconf option for the trash directory, do that, or symlink your trash directory to /dev/null
[18:14] <Glorf> Bonjour tout le monde
[18:14] <ikonia> !fr | Glorf
[18:14] <Glorf> Oh, bad see
[18:14] <Trek> ikonia: how can I access the gconf option?
[18:15] <Trek> s/option/options
[18:15] <ikonia> Trek: use the gconf editor, however, I have no idea where it is
[18:15] <Trek> alrighty, thanks ikonia
[18:15] <ikonia> Trek: as in I have no idea where in the tree the option is
[18:15] <prayii> lol
[18:15] <Glorf> I've a little problem : i can't boot on a  ubuntu/xubuntu/kubuntu/lubuntu with my hp pavillion dv2000
[18:15] <Trek> ikonia: i was wondering how to access the gconf editor
[18:15] <Glorf> i see the console at the beggining
[18:15] <Trek> i can find the option myself
[18:15] <Glorf> the logo
[18:15] <ikonia> Trek: gconf-tool I think it's called
[18:15] <ikonia> !gconf
[18:15] <costre> Glorf, How long have you waited?
[18:15] <Trek> Glorf: did you just let it run?
[18:16] <Trek> thanks ikonia
[18:16] <Glorf> and then
[18:16] <EntityReborn> Trek, there's a option in Nautilus for this
[18:16] <Glorf> my screen became all red/orange
[18:16] <Glorf> and i can't do anything
[18:16] <costre> Glorf On one installation I had to wait what felt like 15 minutes
[18:16] <Glorf> but i can boot on a debian live usb (console only)
[18:16] <Glorf> oki
[18:16] <Glorf> i let it run
[18:16] <costre> do so
[18:16] <Glorf> now my screen is

[18:17] <nikolam> hm, does anyone have idea how to set 1280x1024@85Hz , fglrx driver. I have 1280x1024@85 but I would like 960. I am on 8.04 LTS 64bit, fglrx
[18:17] <costre> if you need o :)
[18:17] <Trek> EntityReborn: where's the option stored?
[18:17] <scp1> hi
[18:17] <EntityReborn> Um... lemme look
[18:17] <prayii> is there a working ATI driver for lucid yet?
[18:17] <Trek> !lucid | prayii
[18:17] <nikolam> I have 1280x960@60 and 1280x1024@85 available. Would like 1280x960@85
[18:18] <scp1> hi there
[18:18] <prayii> sad face
[18:18] <costre> nikolam, You mean 1280x960@85?
[18:18] <Trek> !hi | scp, do you have a question?
[18:18] <nikolam> costre, yes
[18:18] <EntityReborn> Trek, edit/preferences/behavior/always include Delete option that bypasses Trash
[18:18] <Trek> EntityReborn: where do I access that?  what tool to access?
[18:18] <EntityReborn> While viewing any folder
[18:19] <EntityReborn> Trek, I'm assuming you are using Gnome
[18:19]  * scp1 is new
[18:19] <Trek> EntityReborn: yup, but on a netbook, so...
[18:19] <Trek> *shrugs*
[18:19] <costre> nikolam, Sorry, no answer right away .. I remember I messed around with custom resolutions. search www.ubuntuforums.org
[18:20] <EntityReborn> SHould be the same?
[18:20] <EntityReborn> Trek, ^
[18:20] <nikolam> costre, i think it was something with modeline i xorg.conf dont remember right
[18:20] <Trek> EntityReborn: yeah, just the resolution prevents me from seeing the "apply" and "close" buttons or whatnot
[18:20] <EntityReborn> ...
[18:21] <EntityReborn> Lol
[18:21] <EntityReborn> Fail.
[18:21] <scp1> ok thanks
[18:21] <Trek> EntityReborn: lol indeed, but oh well, 90% of the time i do commands through CLI anyways :P
[18:21] <costre> nikolam, I remember that, also messing around with different codes for your graphics card :)
[18:21] <Trek> ikonia: how do I symlink my trash into /dev/null?
[18:21] <ikonia> Trek: use ln
[18:22] <scp1> :(
[18:22] <samokk> I am trying to create a multi binary package from a python setuptools app. I got CDBS + pysupport to work, but I am now trying to create several binary packages. is there any help somewhere ?

[18:22] <blakkheim> !trash | Trek
[18:23] <Trek> thanks
[18:23] <prayii> Are there any SSD's that are recommended with Ubuntu or do they all work equally well?
[18:23] <Guest9145> In attempting to install ubuntu-server, I receive this error: http://pastebin.com/MhsfnAEA - any input greatly appreciated
[18:23] <blakkheim> prayii: intel and ocz make the best ones right now
[18:23] <prayii> blakkheim: thank you much sir
[18:23] <blakkheim> prayii: although with ubuntu's old kernel, you don't get TRIM support
[18:23] <costre> prayii, I'm runnning on a 6month old samsung SSD, works like a dream. Newer drives work even better
[18:24] <blakkheim> prayii: so you might want to use a distro that's up to date or compile 2.6.33 yourself on ubuntu
[18:24] <prayii> Lucid will come with latest though correct?
[18:24] <linduxed> since pastebin.com redesigned its site, it seems pastebinit doesn't work anymore
[18:24] <daftykins> prayii: 2.6.32, 2.6.33 has TRIM support afaik. so not good for SSDs yet.
[18:24] <blakkheim> prayii: i don't know. last i heard it was staying with .32
[18:25] <prayii> bummer....
[18:25] <daftykins> Guest9145: did you apt-get update first?
[18:25] <linduxed> in fact the only service the command works with anymore is yourpaste, which isn't the best service really
[18:25] <Guest9145> daftykins: sure did
[18:25] <Trek> iknoia: i'm getting an error "can't hardlink directories"
[18:25] <Guest9145> daftykins: wait, one sec
[18:25] <daftykins> Guest9145: why install the deskie on a server install? D:
[18:25] <Guest9145> daftykins: i updated the list--not update itself. one sec
[18:25] <Trek> ikonia: it says "hard link not allowed for directory"
[18:25] <linduxed> is there another application, or an update to pastebinit so i can have a proper pastebinning application?
[18:25] <blakkheim> linduxed: wgetpaste
[18:25] <Guest9145> daftykins: i'm trying to use nomachine NX
[18:26] <Guest9145> daftykins: running update now, one sec
[18:27] <trism> linduxed: pastebinit will work if you specify http://paste.ubuntu.com as the address
[18:27] <Trek> ikonia: can I provide you wiht a pastebin of what the error(s) say?
[18:27] <Guest9145> daftykins: did not work
[18:29] <daftykins> sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:29] <daftykins> then reboot, then try
[18:29] <prayii> people always tell me how amazing aptitude is. why does everyone always use apt-get then?
[18:30] <Ghost|BTFH> prayii: Because it works.
[18:30] <prayii> does aptitude not work?
[18:30] <Guest9145> daftykins: http://pastebin.com/y4XPDQnS
[18:30] <daftykins> i've never checked the difference between the two to be honest
[18:30] <prayii> not trying to be smart - just uneducated in the difference between aptitude and apt-get
[18:30] <costre> apt-get if you know what you want i guess
[18:30] <Trek> can anyone help me figure out how to make this symlink?  i get errors with this: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/Psgv9CbU
[18:31] <Ghost|BTFH> prayii: usually it does, but some options it can't use...so...until they merge the two...one is good for some things, one good for another.
[18:31] <daftykins> Guest9145: no idea then
[18:31] <prayii> Ghost|BTFH: is there plans to merge them?
[18:31] <blakkheim> prayii: aptitude is a smarter version of apt-get that handles dependencies better
[18:31] <llutz> Trek: you cannot hardlink between 2 fs
[18:31] <Ghost|BTFH> prayii: I hope so.
[18:31] <Guest9145> anyone else on http://pastebin.com/y4XPDQnS ? "Errors were encountered while processing: xserver-xorg" "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)"
[18:32] <Trek> llutz: okay, so is it possible to symlink my trash folder into /dev/null at all?
[18:32] <llutz> Trek: try ln -s /dev/null /bla/foo/trash
[18:33] <Trek> llutz: i think it worked...
[18:34] <prayii> there are 8 bits in a byte?
[18:34] <costre> prayii, usually :)
[18:34] <adac> hehe
[18:34] <Trek> llutz: if it worked, do i delete something and if it doesn't show up in trash it worked?
[18:35] <wombatman> there are also two nibbles in a byte
[18:35] <llutz> Trek: idk, i never used trash
[18:36] <adac> I installed openvpn gnome network manager plugin, but i cant save the profile because the button is always disabled... any ideas
[18:36] <prayii> so 4 megabits = .5 megabytes... usually? lol
[18:36] <wombatman> well
[18:36] <wombatman> there are issues
[18:36] <wombatman> because that's less standardized
[18:37] <prayii> there should be an organization that standardizes computer units
[18:37] <prayii> sigh
[18:38] <Ghost|BTFH> Ummm...isn't it...8 bits to a byte, 1,024 bytes to a kbyte?
[18:38] <wombatman> nope
[18:38] <wombatman> microsoft would never join
[18:38] <prayii> lol
[18:38] <wombatman> sure
[18:38] <wombatman> unless 1000 bytes to a kilobyte
[18:38] <prayii> like in lucis
[18:38] <wombatman> we prefer 1024
[18:38] <prayii> Lucid uses the 1000:1 thought
[18:39] <prayii> Karmic uses 1024:1 correct?
[18:39] <wombatman> don't know
[18:39] <wombatman> i never rely on that
[18:39] <llutz> Ghost|BTFH: 1024 bytes = kibibyte
[18:39] <wombatman> http://okcmusic.site90.net/GTA.nes
[18:39] <Ghost|BTFH> kibibyte?
[18:39] <wombatman> this is 16bit
[18:39] <Ghost|BTFH> I didn't even know kibi had teeth.
[18:39] <wombatman> yea
[18:40] <prayii> I think I read it's changing in next version. But right now in ubuntu I believe its 1024 bytes = 1 kb
[18:40] <odb|fidel> hi - quick question (using ubuntu 9.10 & gnome here) - just updating my installation via apt in terminal - while apt is still downloading & installing the updates gnome displayed a dialog which tells me it requires an reboot. how is that realized?
[18:40] <llutz> kilobyte = iso = 10^3 bytes (1000 bytes)
[18:40] <odb|fidel> some special paket which is flaged as critial - or how does gnome realized that one of my updated packages think it required a reboot?
[18:41] <Ghost|BTFH> odb|fidel: Wait for the updates to finish.
[18:41] <erUSUL> odb|fidel: the former. some packages are marked as boot required. (kernels mostly)
[18:41] <odb|fidel> Ghost|BTFH: for sure i wait - that’s not the point here - butthanks
[18:41] <odb|fidel> erUSUL: ok
[18:42] <odb|fidel> thanks for the quick replies
[18:42] <Ghost|BTFH> odb|fidel: Ah, you're just wondering why it happened...what they said.
[18:42] <prayii> In Karmix 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes
