[00:20] <computa_mike> Hi guys - how can I suggest an idea for Ubuntu?  I don't want to raise a bug - it's more of an idea...
[00:21] <Slart> computa_mike: I think there something.. brainstorm?
[00:21] <kkkduifjalsdd> is there a tool to search for a word in many pdf files?
[00:21] <ebaby> Slart: That produced like a snowstorm of grey matter nothing else - still snowing...
[00:21] <computa_mike> brainstorm?
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> computa_mike: same thing, you'll get contacted and they'll ask if its a desirable feature rather than a bug
[00:21] <computa_mike> ok
[00:21] <Mike0020> ActionParsnip: That's just for recording and installing, I've already installed it and I don't want to record anything. I just want to use it.
[00:21] <computa_mike> cool
[00:21] <computa_mike> i'll just raise it now...
[00:21] <computa_mike> cheers
[00:21] <Slart> ebaby: ok.. try pressing Ctrl+Alt+F7 and see if you get the other screen back
[00:21] <the_geremy> good night for all
[00:21] <araen> Nobody knows what I must do ?

[00:25] <Slart> ebaby: ok.. going with the "use low graphics mode" didn't work.. what else was there.. reconfigure settings?
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> TobiasGreenich: looks like you need kernel sources
[00:25] <Slart> ebaby: find?
[00:25] <Jack_Sparrow> TobiasGreenich, you are missing the headers. just as the error says..
[00:26] <zsquareplusc> TobiasGreenich: check whick kernrel version they support with that module. it looks like it doesn't work with the version you have installed

[00:27] <Slart> __MAV1: ctrl+c is the common way
[00:27] <savvas> __MAV1: ctrl+c
[00:27] <ebaby> Slart: choice of 'reconfigure graphics' or 'troubleshoot the error' if I remeber correctly one (or both) bring up the Gedit app
[00:27] <__MAV1> thank you
[00:27] <Slart> __MAV1: I think ctrl+z is... eof or something
[00:27] <savvas> ctrl+z takes it to the background
[00:27] <Slart> ebaby: g with reconfigure graphics"
[00:27] <Slart> ebaby: *go
[00:27] <__MAV1> how do I exit man program then ? Ctrl+C just beeps and does nothing
[00:28] <hspaans> savvas: you mean stop the proces
[00:28] <Slart> __MAV1: q
[00:28] <__MAV1> I mean man <command>

[00:28] <ebaby> Slart: message box 'Stand by one minute while the display restarts...'
[00:29] <mib_2dc6mp> what I do not understand is do I have to go through terminal to get my soundcard working or can it be done some other way
[00:29] <mib_2dc6mp> I dont even know wher e to click to see if it is reognized in the first place
[00:29] <dangerisgo> is it possible to create a windows install flash drive from within ubuntu?
[00:29] <__MAV1> If ctlr+Z is bring to background ho can I swithc to that app then ?
[00:29] <Ultrahex> I need some help compiling and loading a module from source and how to deal with conflicts can someone help?
[00:29] <savvas> hspaans: ctrl+z takes it to the background, it doesn't stop the process - in irssi at least :)
[00:29] <Slart> ebaby: hmm..  it's been a while since I did this but I think you're supposed to get a little window where you can select drivers and such.. I don't really understand why it wants to restart the display... hmm
[00:29] <__MAV1> just wondering
[00:29] <savvas> __MAV1: type: fg
[00:30] <ebaby> Slart: back to deep space 9 e.g. dark screen - a little grey matter here and there... I'll hit troubleshoot when the dialog box reappears ok

[00:42] <__MAV1> hspaans: thank you!
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> mib_2dc6mp: it does but you need some special options compiling into it to make it work
[00:42] <mib_2dc6mp> Slart

[00:44] <mib_2dc6mp> it says: "The Installation  You need the linux-headers package for your current kernel to compile the ALSA drivers If you don't know what your current kernel is type this in the terminal  uname -r  You also need to download the ALSA source files from alsa-project.org, I recommend alsa-libs, alsa-driver, alsa-firmware, and alsa-utils, versions 1.0.12rc1 or newer"
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> mib_2dc6mp: you can download it via apt-get or go to the alsa site and grab the latest there
[00:44] <ebaby> Slart: screen is frozen nothing takes
[00:44] <Slart> ebaby: try the power button
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> mib_2dc6mp: you may find theres a link in the guide
[00:45] <Ultrahex> Does anyhow know how to figure out symbol reference problems when compiling modules.... thanks (i will give more detail if anyone knows what im talking about, or a better place to ask?)
[00:45] <mib_2dc6mp> ok
[00:45] <Tony333>  savvas. well i tried following: 1. logout from x. 2. login into text console. 3. /etc/init.d/gdm stop (tried xdm too) 4. look on 'free -m'. 4. /etc/init.d/gdm start. 5. look on 'free -m'. 6. saw a 120 Mb difference. Thus, im not sure this is GNOME
[00:45] <mib_2mkhxe> i had problem with old soundblaster card.  i did a modprobe to add driver (#snd-sb) and then simple change of Preferences>Sound from "autodetect" to ALSA
[00:45] <ebaby> Slart: okay is off will push button again to restart
[00:46] <mib_2dc6mp> ActionParsnip I am finding a whole bunch of alsa stuff in the synaptic manager
[00:46] <ebaby> Slart: back to what I am calling Ubuntu choice window
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> mib_2dc6mp: sudo apt-get install alsa-source
[00:47] <mempho> Whats the command to edit files ? its not gedit
[00:47] <ebaby> Slart: shall I choos something other than ...-generic such as (recovery mode) or (on /dev/dsa1)?
[00:47] <skooz> changed resolution cant see top or bottom of screen
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> mib_2dc6mp: ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.18a.tar.bz2
[00:48] <ebaby> Slart: **sda1
[00:48] <Slart> ebaby: nah.. I don't think it will make a difference... try the trouble shooting again.. and view the xorg log
[00:48] <mempho> Whats the command to edit files ? its not gedit
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> mempho: nano

[00:49] <chilli0> ops
[00:49] <faileas> I've got a ubuntu system i'd like to run CLI only *but* i'd like to have a few gui apps accessable to users using ssh x forwarding. is there any way i can run x in the background (or only when i need to)?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> chilli0: disable the internal one in bios
[00:50] <chilli0> ActionParsnip:  is there a easyer way?
[00:50] <faileas> chilli0: if its supported, just plug it in and it should work, then select it when setting up networking i think
[00:50] <ebaby> Slat: it does say  i can enter 'e' to edit the commands before botting or 'c' for the command line but I guess you know that already
[00:50] <Chungwa> Hello!
[00:50] <mib_2dc6mp> I found all the asla source and firmware in synaptic
[00:50] <mib_2dc6mp> it is downloading
[00:50] <chilli0> faileas:  its pluged in
[00:50] <chilli0> but nothing diffrent happens
[00:50] <mib_2dc6mp> it says the next step is I haveto compile
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> chilli0: its a better idea as its not neded. one less complication
[00:51] <node357> how do you apt-get the sources for a program?
[00:51] <Slart> node357: apt-get source
[00:51] <chilli0> so ActionParsnip just go into the bios and dissable the wifi?
[00:51] <node357> Slart: so like, apt-get source xchat ?
[00:51] <faileas> chilli0: dosen't show up on nm-applet?
[00:51] <Slart> node357: indeed
[00:51] <node357> thanks Slart :)
[00:51] <Slart> node357: you're welcome
[00:51] <Chungwa> Any advice on where to go or what guides to read for a Linux/Ubuntu newbie? I'm at the point where I tried installing a media player three times because I didn't realize I installed it the first time if that's any indication of my Linux/Ubuntu experience :)
[00:52] <Ultrahex> does anyone know how I would go about allowing multiple programs to access my webcam at once (possibly by relaying data) ?
[00:52] <chilli0> faileas:  i dont use that , i use wicd
[00:52] <mib_2dc6mp> because I downloaded asla from synaptic, did it compile or do I still need to open the terminal?
[00:52] <mib_2dc6mp> cd alsa-driver-1.0.12rc1 make clean make mrproper ./configure --with-cards=intel8x0,mia --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes make sudo make install
[00:53] <mempho> ActionParsnip: how do i change what i have write ? :P

[00:53] <mib_2dc6mp> I have no idea what I am doing :(
[00:54] <yoyit2> is there any way to install more then one thing at a time?
[00:54] <Aji-Daha1a> macbook pro 3.1, intrepid, 2-finger vertical scrolling doesn't work.  I have the appletouch.fdi from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro3-1/Intrepid and it still doesn't work
[00:54] <abuyusuf_> yoyit2, apt-get install app1 app2
[00:54] <mib_2dc6mp> yea use the synaptic package manager
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> yoyit2: sure, sudo apt-get install app1 app2 app3
[00:54] <Slart> yoyit2: nope.. afaik you can't run two instances of apt at the same time
[00:54] <ebaby> Slart: as it was booting i did see some words saying: 8254 (or 8251) timer not found -and-  BIOS bug #81 - mean anything?
[00:54] <Dexi> lol
[00:54] <abuyusuf_> yoyit2, replacing app1 with first application and app2 the second and ..
[00:55] <mib_2dc6mp> do I need to type this command : ./configure --with-cards=intel8x0,mia --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes make sudo make install  if I downloaded the alsa from synaptic?
[00:56] <Slart> ebaby: I don't think that is anything serious.. there were some posts about it on the forums and noone seemed to know what it was..
[00:56] <ebaby> Slart: progress report - screen starts as brown then goes to beige and then freezes

[00:57] <mib_2dc6mp> do I need to type this command : ./configure --with-cards=intel8x0,mia --with-oss=yes --with-sequencer=yes make sudo make install  if I downloaded the alsa from synaptic?
[00:57] <abuyusuf_> mib_2dc6mp, no you don't need executing that command as synaptic install the package automatically
[00:57] <mib_2dc6mp> ok
[00:57] <Danu> the same with real player

[00:59] <seth> I have Ubuntu 8.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1501 and as soon as I installed Ubuntu over Windows my CD Drive stopped working, any ideas?
[00:59] <ebaby> Slart: I C what do you know about the latest version of Edubuntu as the OG owner was running that prior - any major differences that may shine some light?
[00:59] <faileas> throwt: depends on what you have in there, and how often you clean your cache
[00:59] <abuyusuf_> mib_2dc6mp, what problem you face ? no sound ?
[01:00] <mib_2dc6mp> no, I just dont see it listed
[01:00] <Danu> please sorry the bother help with rmvb files, with totem, kaffeine, dragon dosn't play well, vlc doesn't play them at all and mplayer play them but "slow" and the audio come first that the video :S , the same with real player
[01:00] <mib_2dc6mp> it is an Echo Mia sound card
[01:00] <throwt> are there any filesystems that support compression?
[01:00] <funkyHat> If I run `diff dir1 dir2 > changes.diff` what's the correct syntax to apply the the changes.diff to a slightly different version of dir1?
[01:00] <Slart> ebaby: I've never used edubuntu but I think it's the same system as ubuntu but with some special applications installed and such..it probably has a site with more info about it
[01:00] <ActionParsnip> seth: does it boot the live cd ok
[01:00] <skooz> change screen resolution ???
[01:00] <mib_2dc6mp> I just downloaded asla source and such from syaptic
[01:00] <abuyusuf_> seth, What let you say it stopped ? it have many cases, "door not open", "door open but not reading the disc", "error message appear", ..
[01:00] <Goan> Hi. Is it possible to enable a feature in kubuntu hardyheron where you could just hover the mouse pointer over the mp3 file and it starts playing in the background, without actually opening the song in some player. I have seen that working on ubuntu.
[01:00] <abuyusuf_> seth, so please say more
[01:00] <throwt> faileas: how do i clean the cache?

[01:01] <JonathanEllis> Hi. I am having problems getting audio to work in Skype on Hardy. I have googled and found http://geekybits.blogspot.com/2007/10/microphones-and-skype-on-ubuntu-710.html and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype. But the problem I have at the moment is testing Sound PReferences in Ubuntu. When I click the Test buttons in Audio Conferencing I get an error message. Can anyone help with this?
[01:01] <seth> I cannot boot to anything the door does upon it just will not boot anything
[01:01] <Slart> ebaby: what I was hoping to do was to install the openchrome driver.. it should work with your graphics card but since we can't seem to find a command line (ctrl+alt+f1 usually shows a command line, not just snow) we can't install it
[01:01] <Chungwa> Okay, so basically I'm lost. I can't figure out how to actually install some Linux games that I downloaded. I follow the instructions but I'm just a Linux newbie that I still mess it up, where do I go from here?
[01:01] <faileas> throwt: apt-get autoclean cleans up the apt-cache
[01:01] <skooz> i need help on setting screen resolution
[01:01] <abuyusuf_> seth, what do you mean with boot? do you mean load ?
[01:01] <faileas> Slart: how abouy terminal?
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> seth: grab a paperclip or similar and you should have a small hole on it, stab in there and it will open
[01:02] <getxsick> hmm
[01:02] <mattbd> Chungwa: What extension do they use? Is it .deb?
[01:02] <getxsick> why ubuntu removes packages on the end of installation?
[01:02] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: Can you describe what you are trying to install and what you have done so far in more detail please
[01:02] <chilli0> ActionParsnip:  its not in the bois
[01:02] <seth> the door does open nothing loads
[01:02] <ActionParsnip> Chungwa: what game you installing?
[01:02] <Slart> ebaby: perhaps booting in recovery mode will work better.. it's worth trying at least
[01:02] <chilli0> how can i disable a wifi card?\
[01:02] <Slart> faileas: huh?
[01:02] <Chungwa> Well, I tried to install Scourge and I was able to ./configure but then the instructions said make install and I could seem to figure that out
[01:02] <mib_2dc6mp> this is so frustrating, do I need to do any terminal work after downloading ALSA from synaptic ?
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> chilli0: not sure then. Just ignore it then and install the usb one
[01:03] <ebaby> Slart: perhaps my keyboard is not configured as a normal windows keyboard - it seems that I can start a command line after the reboot as the option is given
[01:03] <b-man> hello everyone
[01:03] <Goan> Hi. Is it possible to enable a feature in kubuntu hardyheron where you could just hover the mouse pointer over the mp3 file and it starts playing in the background, without actually opening the song in some player. I have seen that working on ubuntu.
[01:03] <Slart> ebaby: but ask the channel, mention your graphics card and that vesa doesn't seem to work for you
[01:03] <chilli0> ActionParsnip:  how can i ignore it?
[01:03] <Chungwa> when I typed "make install" nothing happened
[01:03] <abuyusuf_> getxsick, that doesn't happen with every installition, but some times it do, for you being able to run your new installed application, some applications may be required to be removed
[01:03] <mattbd> Chungwa: Do you have a link to the website for it?
[01:03] <faileas> gah
[01:03] <faileas> wrong person ;p
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> Chungwa: have you installed build-essential
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> !info scourge
[01:03] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: What commands did you run to install it?
[01:03] <getxsick> abuyusuf_: but i mean about new installation from CD
[01:03] <Slart> faileas: =)
[01:04] <seth> It seems to me like the cd reader isn't moving
[01:04] <abuyusuf_> getxsick, when the packages removed ?
[01:04] <Chungwa> http://scourgeweb.org/tiki-index.php is the website.

[01:05] <ActionParsnip> seth: its hardware then
[01:05] <chilli0> does anyone know how to disable a laptop wifi card?
[01:05] <Chungwa> JonathanEllis: I think I need to read more about Linux, I don't know what commands I ran or tried to run... I don't even understand why I'm typing in what I am most of the time in the terminal!
[01:05] <seth> abuyusuf, it sounds like it is trying to move but nothing happens

[01:05] <abuyusuf_> seth, sure that the cd is good ?
[01:05] <faileas> Chungwa: without some details of what you did, its hard to help you
[01:05] <seth> ActionParsnip, why would it happen now though?
[01:05] <Slart> faileas: not without a working graphics driver for X =)

[01:06] <Slart> ebaby: I doubt the keyboard is the problem..

[01:06] <chilli0> Tumdian:  how do i start it again?
[01:06] <mattbd> Chungwa: I assume you followed the instructions on the website

[01:06] <abuyusuf_> !synaptic } JonathanEllis
[01:06] <faileas> troythetechguy: debian ;)
[01:06] <Gnea> troythetechguy: xubuntu, elivecd
[01:06] <mib_2dc6mp> am I being ignored because my questions are too basic?
[01:06] <abuyusuf_> !synaptic | JonathanEllis
[01:07] <Gnea> !patience | mib_2dc6mp
[01:07] <Slart> ebaby: do that.. see if it gets you a command line
[01:07] <Chungwa> mattbd: I certainly tried to, but I think my problem is that I don't really understand a lot of linux lingo so I don't even know what 1/3 of the instructions are telling me to do
[01:07] <chilli0> Tumdian:  i get this

[01:07] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: so what's the problem?
[01:07] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: Most of the time you use apt-get install <packagename> in a terminal
[01:07] <seth> I will see what is says thanks, ActionParsnip.
[01:07] <faileas> mattbd: have they updated to intrepid yet? ;p
[01:07] <funkyHat> lastlog mib_2dc6mp
[01:07] <funkyHat> arr sorry
[01:08] <mattbd> faileas: Not yet
[01:08] <Slart> faileas: mmm.. I'll be sure to mention that in the config file for X =)
[01:08]  * faileas liked it when i tried it
[01:08] <faileas> Slart: lol
[01:08] <faileas> hmm
[01:08] <Chungwa> Thanks JonathanEllis, I'll start reading up on some linux basics. I think I got over confident that ubuntu installed without any problems
[01:08] <jarco> when i try to start the ubuntu i just installed my screen goes black. I hear the sound of gnome booting but it aint working.i can however use command line with ctrl +a lt + f1. Any solutions?
[01:08] <ebaby> Slart: it says press 'C' if I want a command line Is that what I want as it seems I can bypass the other choices and call it up
[01:08] <lepassive> how to recover files deleted on windows file system using ubuntu ?
[01:08] <faileas> Slart: maybe try forcing it to vesa or vga at grub with cheatcodes?
[01:08] <faileas> lepassive: what kinda files?
[01:09] <mattbd> Chungwa: Basically you need the stuff they ask for as dependencies to compile it. Maybe there's a deb package somewhere though
[01:09] <lepassive> aviS
[01:09] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: This is the same as installing using the graphical interface in |Applications|Add/Remove or using Synaptic if you know the package name. But this only works if the package is in a repository that is enabled in your ubuntu
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> seth: if you get your whole system updated it may help
[01:09] <lepassive> faileas, avis*
[01:09] <Slart> faileas: but go ahead.. ebaby is the one with the non-cooperative graphics card.. a via chrome 9.. vesa doesn't work, failsafe just restarts x, ctrl+alt+f1 doesn't show a command line (only snow)
[01:09] <Slart> ebaby: go ahead..
[01:09]  * faileas might suggest photorec, and possibly roadkil's file recovery if he has a linux box
[01:09] <faileas> ebaby: tried the alternate disk?
[01:10] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: If you are trying to use make then it sounds like you are installing from source code which is slightly more difficult
[01:10] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: according to what i've seen so far, you're trying to compile alsa in ubuntustudio?
[01:10] <faileas> Slart: lol, its a pain keeping track of who's saying what on a busy channel ;p
[01:10] <Slart> faileas: =)
[01:10] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea
[01:10] <mib_2dc6mp> I think so
[01:10] <mib_2dc6mp> but I found alsa in synaptic and downloaded it
[01:10] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: well, I don't think that's really necessary
[01:10] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: And usually results in me swearing a lot whenever I try it! Usually its not necessary as the software is pre-packaged but it seems that Scourge is not packaged for Ubuntu
[01:10] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: and alsa is installed by default
[01:10] <ebaby> Slart: interesting: says: [ Minimal Bash- like line editing is supported. then grub>  - Your call...
[01:10] <skooz> dis
[01:10] <mib_2dc6mp> I am trying to go through this tutorial https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EchoMia
[01:10] <Chungwa> I may have been! Haha, I know I'm not really giving you guys enough information to help me - I don't even know what I was trying to do
[01:11] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: what problem are you having with sound, exactly?
[01:11] <lepassive> faileas, then photorec or roadkil
[01:11] <skooz> whoops
[01:11] <mib_2dc6mp> It is supposed to help me set my audio card up
[01:11] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: s/he needs to compile alsa
[01:11] <mib_2dc6mp> but so far Gnea I cant figure out what I need to do
[01:11] <faileas> lepassive: photorec should be in the repos i thinl
[01:11] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: which audio card do you have?
[01:11] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: okay.
[01:11] <mib_2dc6mp> Echo Mia
[01:11] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: Its OK. We have all been there. Me not too long ago. I am a bit of a newbie too
[01:11] <Slart> ebaby: ok, run this "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome"
[01:11] <seth> I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 then that's when it went out.
[01:11] <seadyah> I have a windows recovery disc that I received with my laptop. My computer currently has only Ubuntu on it. When I try to install Windows from the disc I receive an error that says "Hard Drive Not Found". Help, please?
[01:11] <lepassive> faileas, thanks alot I hope that solves it
[01:12] <mib_2dc6mp> I didnt follow the guyide is the problem, instead of using terminal, I downloaded alsa source from synaptic
[01:12] <mattbd> Chungwa: It's not in GetDeb or PlayDeb, which are the normal places to look for games
[01:12] <lepassive> faileas, it's aliased to testdisk
[01:12] <decomp> hi all, trying to do the 'recover ubuntu after winblows install hosed grub' thing. I am using knoppix to boot and reinstall grub however i cannot chroot to the mounted partition, it keeps telling me /bin/bash Exec format error? ive tried different things cant get it to work for some reason
[01:12] <Chungwa> Man, I used me a wiz on computers when I was in high school. Now turning them on seems difficult! I'll check out GetDeb and PlayDeb I think I need to just go slowly
[01:12] <faileas> seadyah: backup linux, get the dban boot disk and erase your hard drive, install windows, reinstall linux
[01:12] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: If you need more info than is in the article I gave you then google "ubuntu installing software"
[01:13] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay, let's back up for a bit here - are you using 8.04 or 8.10?
[01:13] <seadyah> faileas, I dban?
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> Chungwa: apt-cache search game | less
[01:13] <mattbd> Chungwa: Playdeb and Getdeb are really good resources so they may have a good alternative for you
[01:13] <faileas> seadyah: lots of recovery disk software fail on systems with anything other than the partitions they sell it with
[01:13] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I am using ubuntustudio 8.04 32bit
[01:13] <Gnea> ok
[01:13] <faileas> seadyah: unfortunately yes
[01:13] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: Alternatively start less ambitious and try installing some of the games in the repositories. Use |Applications|Add/Remove and then select Games
[01:13] <mattbd> Chungwa: UFO Alien Invasion is very good
[01:14] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: could you please pastebin the output of the dmesg command?
[01:14] <Chungwa> I'll give those a try. Thanks all!
[01:14] <faileas> (and YES, i am telling you to nuke the contents of your disk, and there's a reason)
[01:14] <seadyah> faileas, I did wipe the disc with a Safe Data Disposal program (iso) that is manufactured by the same company as my computer. That did not work.
[01:14] <ebaby> slart: error 27: unrecognized command
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> Chungwa: frets on fire is decent too
[01:14] <mib_2dc6mp> oh
[01:14] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I am typing on my laptop next to the desktop, but I will try to type it
[01:14] <b-man> I've successfuly booted Ubuntu jaunty on my Nokia N800 internet tablet, guide on how to do it is here; http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=254257#post254257
[01:14] <faileas> seadyah: well this has worked for me loads of times, you don't even need to run dban very long
[01:14] <Slart> ebaby: did you chose the recovery menu choice?
[01:14] <mib_2dc6mp> oh wow
[01:14] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: it might be easier if you install and use the pastebinit command
[01:14] <fmoo> shouldn't the current xserver-org in jaunty be blocking xorg-driver-fglrx?  The ABIs aren't compatible.
[01:15] <mib_2dc6mp> that is a lot of stuff
[01:15] <seadyah> faileas, what is dban? (I'm a bit slow)
[01:15] <b-man> Ubunt armel
[01:15] <seth> ActionParsnip, I upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10 that's when it messed up on me
[01:15] <abuyusuf_> !pastebin | mib_2dc6mp
[01:15] <jarco> b-man, u the first to ever do this?
[01:15] <lepassive> faileas, unfortunately photorec doesn't have as GUI
[01:15] <ebaby> Slart: no sorry thought you wanted  me to go straight to command line
[01:15] <mib_2dc6mp> ok
[01:15] <faileas> lepassive: no it dosen't
[01:15] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: check this out:  sudo apt-get install pastebinit && dmesg | pastebinit
[01:15] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: They may not be to your taste but perhaps installing something easier first may get you started and whet your appetite for something more technical, I dont know. There may be an easy way to install Scourge for all I know. Is there a #scourge IRC channel does anyone know or what support is available for Scourge?
[01:15] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I will install the paste thing
[01:15] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: it will upload it all in one fell swoop
[01:15] <ebaby> Slart: so i typed 'c' and got what I described above
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> seth: not sure then, maybe the new kernel doesnt like your cd drive. are you on the intrepid kernel (run uname -a and give us the output)
[01:15] <Slart> ebaby: ah.. my bad
[01:15] <illmortal> Can anyone assist me in getting my WMP54GS Linksys Wireless adapter to work with Ubuntu 8.10? I've looked up as much documentation as possible in regards to wireless adapters and Ubuntu but not working out.
[01:15] <Chungwa> I'll try just installing a bunch of stuff until I feel comfortable and go from there
[01:16] <Slart> ebaby: just reboot and chose the recovery option
[01:16] <lepassive> and RoadKil is windows only gosh
[01:16] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea ok I am trying that now
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> illmortal: is it usb or pci?
[01:16] <Dexi> w00t! I got it! :D
[01:16] <illmortal> PCI
[01:16] <seth> Linux seth-laptop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Fri Dec 19 16:29:52 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[01:16] <illmortal> ActionParsnip ^
[01:16] <mm> illmortal: use windows wireless drivers to achieve that
[01:16] <skooz> how can i change display properties when i cant see top of screen
[01:16] <faileas> lepassive: most recovery software is windows based sadly
[01:16] <JonathanEllis> Can anyone help me get sound working on Skype? I have tried a bunch of stuff which I will detail if anyone replies, rather than flood the channel
[01:16] <rww> I'm looking into doing backups for the first time. What do I need to backup? My utility has /var/ /home/ /usr/local/ and /etc/ by default; any others I should look at (and yes, I have read !backup :P)
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> illmortal: run lspci and it will tell you what chip it has, you can websearch from there
[01:16] <illmortal> mm because I don't have internet connectivity I cannot download wine
[01:16] <troythetechguy> mattbd: thanks, i'll give it a try,
[01:17] <seadyah> faileas, Lol, I found it. I like it.
[01:17] <lepassive> faileas, any luck using wine with RoadKil ?
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> seth: yeah thats intrepid
[01:17] <mm> illmortal: well you're online... :)
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> illmortal: id get connectivity before worrying about apps
[01:17] <MHz128> Can Ubuntu control the number of lines scrolled with the mouses' scroll wheel? ie. set 1 notch to 20 lines etc... ?
[01:17] <mib_2dc6mp> ok I did it Gnea
[01:17] <illmortal> Right, on windows.
[01:17] <mib_2dc6mp> It gave me a few urls
[01:17] <JonathanEllis> lepassive: I use http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page
[01:17] <sudobash> is there an official way to install VMPlayer in Ibex?
[01:17] <illmortal> ActionParsnip which is what im tryin to do.
[01:18] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: did you run it more than once?
[01:18] <mib_2dc6mp> no
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> illmortal: well you need the basics first
[01:18] <illmortal> So open terminal and type, "lspci"?
[01:18] <seth> ActionParsnip, Is there anyway of undoing the upgrade?
[01:18] <faileas> lepassive: never tried it on wine
[01:18] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: it should just give you one... like http://pastebin.com/f8e9s8f0d
[01:18] <b-man> yes, for the it's, with full install
[01:18] <b-man> ubuntu desktop and everything
[01:18] <b-man> even xorg - on armel
[01:18] <b-man> using usplash
[01:18] <lepassive> JonathanEllis, thanks
[01:18] <b-man> and compiz.
[01:18] <ebaby> slart: brought up the grey Recovery menu screen choices being resume, clean, dpkg, fsck,root, or xfix...
[01:18] <FloodBot1> b-man: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:18] <b-man> http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=254257#post254257
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> illmortal: lspci will tell you what you have and you can websearch it in windows
[01:18] <b-man> no sound though..
[01:18] <lepassive> faileas, well it launches with a reading error
[01:19] <Slart> ebaby: ok, let's go with "root"
[01:19] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea ok here it is pastebin.com/f7c57ac24
[01:19] <illmortal> ok and i need to search on how to install that chipset onto Ubuntu 8.10, ya?
[01:19] <b-man> sorry, i was in a little bit of a rush :(
[01:19] <mm> does anyone here have any experience of any other program similar to wine and what is the result?
[01:19] <mattbd> mm: I've used crossover games
[01:19] <Slart> mm: there aren't many other programs like wine.. with the exception of Cedega
[01:19] <illmortal> brb, gonna log into ubuntu
[01:19] <Dexi> is there a way to make windows snap to each other in gnome?
[01:20] <faileas> Slart: and crossover, which for free for a week
[01:20] <mm> mattbd: what was ur experience?
[01:20] <albert748> register
[01:20] <bahr> Anybody in here who knows of an ATC Simulator for Ubuntu?
[01:20] <Slart> mm: ah.. and crossover of course, as faileas correctly pointed out =)
[01:20] <mattbd> mm: I found it a bit fiddly - I struggled to get it working
[01:20] <mm> slart: im looking to run warcraft 3 on ubuntu, any suggestions other than wine?
[01:21] <Slart> mm: I thought warcraft 3 worked pretty ok on wine.. or? have you checked the application database?
[01:21] <mm> slart: nope, errors ... wont load
[01:21] <JonathanEllis> Chungwa: Did you have a look at http://scourgeweb.org/tiki-index.php?page=SCOURGE_Building_From_Source_nix and scroll down to the Ubuntu bit? There is some info there that I havent read yet
[01:21] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay, found this:  [  113.849831] ALSA /build/buildd/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24/debian/build/build-rt/sound/alsa-driver/pci/echoaudio/echoaudio.c:47: get_firmware(): Firmware not available (-2)
[01:21] <Dexi> nobody?
[01:21] <albert748> hey, any body know how to register?
[01:21] <Dexi> :(
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | mm
[01:21] <Slart> ebaby: and then try that command again "sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-openchrome"
[01:21] <mattbd> mm: If Wine doesn't work Crossover Games may be worth a try, but you have to pay for it
[01:21] <Dexi> albert748, register what?
[01:21] <BWF89> does anyone know what's gonna happen to the author of Xchat? He made the Windows version of his client proprietary software in violation of the GPL. So I'm using the Smuxi client instead.
[01:21] <Slart> !register | albert748
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> !register | albert748
[01:22] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea what does it mean, that I cannot use my card?
[01:22] <mattbd> mm: I think they do a free trial though
[01:22] <mm> hmm
[01:22] <mm> thanks
[01:22] <mib_2dc6mp> or I still have more stuf to install
[01:22] <faileas> BWF89: its a bit complex, it IS open source- you need to pay for his version but the code, other than the registration bit is free and you can compile your own
[01:22] <albert748> Dexi: register my nick name
[01:22] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: it means that we need to find and install the firmware for your card - it looks like everything else is setup just fine for it (that HOWTO was for 6.06, and they usually roll those fixes into the next release, so 8.04 should have it set already)
[01:22] <Dexi> read above
[01:23] <Slart> BWF89: if I understand things correctly he's allowed to whatever he wants with his code.. gpl or whatever.. I think the questions was if all the code really was his.. but this  if offtopic for this channel
[01:23] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: what is the output of this command please:  lspci | grep audio
[01:23] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea, this site is supposed to help with getting my card to work under ubuntu, I just dont know how to do it :( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EchoMia
[01:23] <abuyusuf_> !register | albert748
[01:23] <BWF89> @Failout and Slart: thanks for clarifying.
[01:24] <ebaby> Slart: says xserver-xorg... is already the newest version 0 upgraded 0 newly installed 0 to remove and 210 not upgraded
[01:24] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: see the top of that page:  ALSA for Ubuntu 6.06 with two sound devices: Echo Mia card plus on-board sound  and the bottom of the page:  EchoMia (last edited 2008-06-27
[01:24] <rww> albert748: you were sent the !register factoid yesterday, too. Did you miss it, or are you having trouble with it?
[01:24] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea lspci | grep audio did nothing
[01:24] <sudobash> is there an apt-get i can use for vmplayer?
[01:24] <Joel_> hi, im getting crackling noises and no sound at all whatsoever, can someone please help?
[01:25] <what> Dexi: what's the nickserv? is that #ubuntu? or FreeNode?
[01:25] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay, how about:  lspci | pastebinit
[01:25] <Slart> ebaby: hmm.. ok, lets go back to the menu.. type "exit" and press enter
[01:25] <araen> I did echo "blacklist ath5k" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" and since that, I've an error at beginning
[01:25] <abuyusuf_> sudobash, apt-get install vmware-player
[01:25] <araen> it was for wifi
[01:25] <ebaby> Slart: done
[01:25] <Dexi> what: its just a service, think of it like a bot
[01:25] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea : error no arguments specified
[01:25] <araen> (I've hardy heron and i've an eeepc)
[01:25] <what> rww: yes, have some trouble...
[01:25] <Slart> ebaby: then select xfix
[01:26] <sudobash> iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:1B:2F:E1:71:30 channel auto txpower 30mW
[01:26] <sudobash> Package vmware-player is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[01:26] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea do I need to add -i
[01:26] <Dexi> what: it will be freenode-wide not just for this chan, if thats what you mean
[01:26] <Joel_> hi, im getting crackling noises and no sound at all whatsoever, can someone please help? I'm on 8.10
[01:26] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: you sure you used the pipe '|' and not a 1 or I?
[01:26] <ebaby> Slart: done got some words did something brought me back to Recovery menu
[01:26] <what> Dexi: for example, if I want to register to #ubuntu, what to do?
[01:26] <sudobash> vmware-player package has been removed?
[01:26] <seth> My CD Drive acts like it wants to do something but does not. It makes a noise for about 1 to 2  minutes and then stops
[01:26] <lstarnes> what: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#nicksetup
[01:26] <seadyah> What's a good program to burn iso's?
[01:27] <wj32> seadyah: you can do it with nautilus
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> Joel_: run lspci to find out your exact sound card and do some websearching
[01:27] <Dexi> what, you dont register to a channel specifically, just to the network, follow the instructions nickserv gives
[01:27] <Slart> ebaby: hmm.. ok.. I wonder if it fixed it.. try resume
[01:27] <mattbd> seadyah: Brasero
[01:27] <Gnea> seadyah: k3b
[01:27] <Slart> !burniso | seadyah
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> !burning | seadyah
[01:27] <Joel_> i did websearching
[01:27] <nickrud> seadyah, rightclick the iso, select burn
[01:27] <meho_> quick question how do i mount and unmopund iso image without using nautilus script so just the terminal
[01:27] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea yes, it says reqired arguments -i and then lists various optional arguments
[01:27] <Naggie> is Ubuntu availible in x86_64 architecture? If so, where can I find it?

[01:28] <mib_2dc6mp> no
[01:28] <mib_2dc6mp> as this chat is on a diff computer
[01:28] <abuyusuf_> sudobash, apt-get install open-vm-toolbox
[01:28] <lstarnes> Naggie: it's available for amd64, which is essentially x86_64
[01:28] <ebaby> Slart: message said saving Vesa state before it exited now I am back to twilight zone of grey matter and dark screen of the not so distant past
[01:28] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: can you ssh to it?
[01:28] <abuyusuf_> sudobash, try that, it's GUI for client of vmware
[01:28] <mib_2dc6mp> I typed lspci | pastebinit
[01:28] <Joel_> some intel card, 82801G High Def

[01:29] <Naggie> thanks, nickrud and lstarnes.
[01:29] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay, let's try something else then:  lspci > lspci.txt && cat lspci.txt | pastebinit
[01:29] <rww> albert748: Sorry, my wifi card is acting up. If you need help, issue "/join #freenode" and ask in there. They'll be able to help :)
[01:29] <albert748> Dexi: thank you, I will have a try
[01:29] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnok
[01:29] <nickrud> meho_, no, mountpoint is a dir name. /mnt is traditionally used for temporary mounting
[01:29] <Dexi> albert748: good luck
[01:29] <ethan2> can somone please help me my computer is not detecting my ireless
[01:29] <johninlex> i have a atheros wireless card knowing that there inlies the problem  well I have tried everything

[01:30] <Gnea> !wireless | ethan2
[01:30] <sudobash> so it should let me install vmplayer?
[01:30] <ethan2> gnea: can you help me?
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> !vmware | sudobash
[01:30] <Slart> ebaby: hmmm... I'm starting to run out of ideas to try.. and I'm running out of time
[01:30] <skooz> is there a way to set display setting on start up or something cant see top of my screen or bottom
[01:30] <Gnea> ethan2: your best bet is to explain your problem in as much detail as you can, I'm sure someone here can help you.
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> skooz: you can set it in xorg.conf
[01:30] <ebaby> Slart: back to "Ubuntu is running in low graphics mode"
[01:30] <sudobash> WHY use QEmu or VBox when VMware works better?
[01:30] <Gnea> ethan2: also, check that URL out that ubottu ave you
[01:31] <Gnea> sudobash: it doesn't work better in every circumstance.
[01:31] <Slart> ebaby: mm.. the ever so helpful failsafe X
[01:31] <wj32> sudobash: some people have moral issues with using non-free software
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> sudobash: if they are "better" why do the other 2 even exist as no one would use them
[01:31] <lstarnes> sudobash: qemu and virtualbox are open-source plus in many cases they work better
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> sudobash: there are advantages to both
[01:31] <sudobash> VMPlayer is free..............................
[01:31] <ethan2> gnea: yes ik but osmone just helped me form this and now my wireless doesnt work at all
[01:31] <sudobash> VMServer is free
[01:31] <lstarnes> sudobash: but it is not open-source
[01:31] <ebaby> Slart: via has a site where they have posted some drivers for other everex computers do u think those might work?
[01:31] <Slart> ebaby: try asking the channel again.. I just don't know what more to try
[01:31] <wj32> FREE as in FREEDOM
[01:31] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea ok now we are in business: /f4ef29b
[01:31] <mattbd> sudobash:qemu is portable and vbox is easy to use
[01:31] <Slart> ebaby: I have no idea.. it can't really get worse than it is
[01:31] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: ok
[01:31] <sudobash> ok then say some ppl have problem running non open source apps
[01:32] <ethan2> gnea: im runniing xubuntu and before i got wireless but it didnt work right and now i dont get it at all
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> sudobash: it is free, but no single application is "best" or "better" due to varying requirements and tastes
[01:32] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I just want to say I really appreciate you helping me, I know this is taking a long time, but without your help I would be stuck
[01:32] <ethan2> gnea: i need help im new to xubuntu and i have no clue how to
[01:32] <sudobash> ok but I have already set this guy up with VMplayer and he is 3000 miles away
[01:32] <ethan2> gnea: well get my wireless
[01:32] <ethan2> gnea: please help me
[01:32] <geeksquad> >	i have a problem i cannot play dvds in totem i already have the liddvdcss package and the error is: "internal data flow error" please HELP!

[01:32] <seth> ActionParsnip: can you help me? I am at your mercy..lol
[01:32] <sudobash> and I set vmplayer to pull his dual booted partition.. is that possible in either qemu or vbox?
[01:33] <abuyusuf_> !vmplayer | sudobash
[01:33] <ActionParsnip> seth: you could roll back to the hardy kernel
[01:33] <jarco> hello. when i earlyer installed ubuntu it gave me a black screen in gnome. I tried command line with ctrl alt f1 and it worked. Now i need to reinstall for having kde. The live cd also gives black screen. i use ati hd3850 (i think) btw. Any thoughts or solutions?
[01:33] <seth> ActionParship: how can you do that?
[01:33] <sudobash> can vbox or qemu boot partitions and can the VMX be migrated?
[01:33] <abuyusuf_> !vmware | sudobash
[01:33] <ethan2> does anyone know how to get wireless detection on xubuntu?
[01:33] <mattbd> geeksquad: Have you tried VLC instead? I find Totem a pain
[01:34] <abuyusuf_> sudobash, try the link above for manual install
[01:34] <sudobash> nevermind i got vmplayer back up
[01:34] <geeksquad> where can i get it on windows my linux system is out of internet
[01:34] <wj32> geeksquad: that's not easy, as vlc depends on lots of other packages
[01:34] <geeksquad> i can transfer the .deb
[01:35] <ethan2> does anyone know becuase i also get an error message from pigin
[01:35] <wj32> geeksquad: the problem is there are LOTS of debs you'll need to download manually
[01:35] <geeksquad> my drive is 16 gb
[01:35] <lstarnes> sudobash: I have booted a partition from within qemu once
[01:35] <geeksquad> how many
[01:35] <faileas> geeksquad: its more that its a pain in the ass to do
[01:35] <mattbd> geeksquad: It can still be fiddly
[01:35] <Jordan_U> geeksquad: You can create a script that will download them all via synaptic
[01:35] <skooz> what do i need to type with xorg.conf

[01:37] <vileli8ves> I'm having problems with mplayer and gnome-mplayer; can't get video to play when viewing mpeg files. I only get sound when viewing them in firefox.
[01:37] <ethan2> can anyone help me with a wireless detection problem?
[01:37] <ebaby> Jack-Sparrow: still here?
[01:38] <bulletmike> hmmm...everybody seems to like deluge. I will try it out
[01:38] <usr13> geeksquad: Running a linux machine with no internet is like driving your car around only in the front yard.  :)
[01:38] <ActionParsnip> ethan2: pidgin is fine
[01:38] <usr13> ethan2: We can try.
[01:38] <bulletmike> lol usr13
[01:38] <geeksquad> i am in vermont
[01:38] <mattbd> bulletmike: the version from the website is more up to date and they do a deb for Ubuntu
[01:38] <wj32> i agree
[01:38] <bulletmike> nice ..thanks maatbd&wj32
[01:38] <ethan2> usr13: the wireless network isnt picking up my router its only syaing "auto Eth0"
[01:39] <Jordan_U> vileli8ves: Do you get an error from mplayer?
[01:39] <geeksquad> r u talking to me
[01:39] <bulletmike> do you know a good script/program that can read mp3 tags ?
[01:39] <__Grim76__> Grim76__
[01:39] <usr13> ethan2: auto eth0?
[01:39] <vileli8ves> nope. it opens the files fine.
[01:39] <wj32> ethan2: if you click on the network icon can you seek wireless networks?
[01:39] <vileli8ves> just no video
[01:39] <wj32> ethan2: *i meant see
[01:39] <ebaby> Installer runs fine but on reboot graphics goes haywire
[01:40] <ethan2> wj32: i cnat clikc it
[01:40] <skooz> ActionParsnip im at grub> xorg.conf
[01:40] <ethan2> wj32: i can only see it and it only wokrs when im wired
[01:40] <ethan2> wj32: i cnat get wireless
[01:40] <ethan2> usr13: yes auto etho
[01:40] <wj32> ethan2: how about right-clicking it?
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> skooz: if you are at a grub prompt your system isnt booting right
[01:40] <usr13> ethan2: System -> Network   click on Unlock
[01:40] <wj32> ethan2: i'm 100% you can click the network icon
[01:40] <ActionParsnip> skooz: you need to fix that before looking at xorg.conf
[01:40] <wj32> ethan2: *100% sure
[01:41] <skooz> well how do u get to it
[01:41] <Chungwa> Oh, I've got another question! Since I moved to ubuntu whenever I watch a video (avi divx) there are very slight lines (or is it pixelization?)on the video. Any idea how to make it look a little better (the video looking fine when I viewed it in Vista before my switch)
[01:41] <wj32> Chungwa: turn deinterlacing off
[01:41] <usr13> ethan2: And see if you can find a way to get it to conect to the particular essid of your wireless AP.
[01:41] <skooz> i can load ubuntu
[01:41] <Chungwa> How do I do that? (I'm a COMPLETE newbie)
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> Chungwa: have you installed video drivers and got codecs installed
[01:42] <wj32> Chungwa: oh wait you can't do that anymore
[01:42] <ActionParsnip> skooz: boot to linux, then run gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:42] <wj32> i swear you could turn deinterlacing on/off in totem before
[01:42] <Chungwa> ActionParsnip: I did, yes. I choose the recommended drivers and downloaded some codecs for divx
[01:43] <wj32> Chungwa: in the View menu, is there a Deinterlacing menu item?
[01:43] <ethan2> i cant
[01:43] <seth> Can anyone tell me how to roll back my kernel from Interpid to Hardy?
[01:43] <usr13> Chungwa: What video player do you use?  What display adapter are you using?  What video driver are you using?
[01:43] <ActionParsnip> Chungwa: maybe you ned a tweak for your video card
[01:43] <Jordan_U> seth: Did you upgrade?
[01:43] <tbrock> hey guys, what is a good nzb downloader for linux
[01:43] <tbrock> preferably a gnome one
[01:43] <seth> Jordan_U: Yes
[01:43] <skooz> how do i boot linux
[01:43] <wj32> tbrock: what's nzb
[01:44] <usr13> seth sudo apt-get downgrade
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> tbrock: nzb?
[01:44] <mattbd> tbrock: I hear good things about hellanzb
[01:44] <usr13> seth: Just teasing... sorry... couldn't resist.
[01:44] <tbrock> binary news
[01:44] <wj32> skooz: have you got grub installed?
[01:44] <tbrock> ok thanks matt
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> !grub | skooz
[01:44] <mattbd> ActionParsnip: Newsbinz
[01:44] <Jordan_U> seth: You can boot from the old kernel by pressing escape at boot
[01:44] <seth> usr13: I came a hair to typing that in...lol
[01:44] <ActionParsnip> !info newsbinz
[01:44] <Chungwa> Oh, there is something about deinterlacing!
[01:44] <wj32> Chungwa: turn it off
[01:44] <nickrud> tbrock, pan supports nzb as well
[01:45] <mattbd> ActionParsnip: He means he wants to download files from usenet
[01:45] <skooz> yes i can boot into ubuntu just cant see top or bottom of screen to see the menus
[01:45] <seth> Jordan_U: Thanks.
[01:45] <wj32> weird, does anyone else see a View > Deinterlacing menu item in totem?
[01:45] <Jordan_U> seth: You probably don't want to do that permanently though, what problem are you having with the new kernel?
[01:45] <usr13> seth: Jordan_U has serious advise....
[01:45] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: still there? sorry, had to take an important phone call
[01:45] <seth> Jordan_U: My CD Drive isn't reading anything.
[01:45] <ebaby> Slart: can you take a look at this link i found and let me know if this can do anything for me: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=38635&d=1184891923
[01:45] <ebaby> Slart: it came from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=504849
[01:45] <Chungwa> wj32: It looks better now, thanks a lot!
[01:46] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea yes
[01:46] <seth> usr13: Thanks
[01:46] <mattbd> ActionParsnip: Newzbinz are to usenet what torrent files are to BitTorrent
[01:46] <wj32> Chungwa: oh and also
[01:46] <mib_2dc6mp> I started going back to the beginning of the echomia support page
[01:46] <usr13> seth: No problem, the humor is free.
[01:46] <skooz> im at the grub menu to select ubuntu or windows
[01:46] <wj32> Chungwa: is it a DVD?
[01:46] <mib_2dc6mp> I am extracting the alsa firmware, driver and library
[01:46] <tbrock> nickrud: thanks man
[01:46] <Chungwa> No, it's just an avi file
[01:46] <seth> usr13: I'll try to remember that.
[01:46] <ActionParsnip> mattbd: nice
[01:46] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> question
[01:46] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay - not sure how much that's going to help, considering it's for an older version of Ubuntu.  I did notice this: 02:0b.0 Multimedia controller: Motorola DSP56361 Digital Signal Processor (rev 01)
[01:47] <wj32> Chungwa: you'll need deinterlacing on for most DVDs
[01:47] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I noticed the synaptic did not have the libs, so I decided it would be best to do all 3 again (hopefully an overwrite of whatever synaptic did wont hurt)
[01:47] <eseven73> I cant find deluge in the repos is it just a ibex package? Im on Hardy
[01:47] <wj32> eseven73: download it from the website. it has the latest version
[01:47] <Chungwa> wj32: I'll keep that in mind, thanks
[01:47] <eseven73> ok
[01:47] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: well, if you can hold off on that for a bit, I'd like to see if we can find the firmware, drop it in and see if that works
[01:47] <mattbd> eseven73: It's as deluge-torrent, but I'd grab it from the website
[01:47] <mib_2dc6mp> ok
[01:48] <seth> Jordan_U: I have a Dell Insiron 1501 and the CD Drive worked fine until I upgraded to 8.10 and did all the updates.
[01:48] <skooz> can i fix it?
[01:48] <san> try deluge-torrent
[01:48] <Jordan_U> seth: Did you upgrade via update-manager?
[01:48] <seth> Jordan_U: Yes
[01:48] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea is there something I need to type in the terminal?
[01:48] <johninlex> can anyone heme with a wireless problem please
[01:48] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> i run ubuntu on my home pc, but im not at home and on a windows machine.. and it seems to be infected with virus's... im wanting to do some work from this pc but be safe. I dont want my pwd's getting stolen or anyting and was wondering if i used ubuntu live cd.. would the possible virus's not be run from teh windows
[01:49] <usr13> johninlex: Will try...
[01:49] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> hope that makes sense
[01:49] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Ubuntu won't get infected just because Windows has a virus
[01:49] <gvsa123> i'm trying to access our home network via ubuntu and installed samba. i've shared one of my directories in ubuntu for testing, but from the ms side, it's asking me for a username and password. i tried to use my login in ubuntu, but it doesn't work.. can anyone help?
[01:49] <johninlex> I have tried ndiswrapper and madwifi and cant get it to work
[01:49] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: the rule with computers is there's no black magic
[01:49] <usr13> johninlex: Just state your problem.  Someone is bound to know what to do about it.
[01:49] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> if there was a trojan or possible key capture program.. i would be safe using ubuntu live cd
[01:49] <usr13> what wifi nic is it?
[01:49] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: well, I just found a few things that might help - they're a bit more up-to-date
[01:49] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Windows programs don't run on Ubuntu
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> webbhawk_h4x0r42: makes sense, if you boot to live cd, you can mount the windows drive and read the data
[01:50] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Viruses, trojans, and spyware are windows programs
[01:50] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea that is excellent
[01:50] <vileli8ves> Jordan_U figured it out. I needed to switch to gecko to get things working. mplayer just hates my system, I guess. thanks anyway!
[01:50] <usr13> johninlex: Which nic do   you have?
[01:50] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=491735
[01:50] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I am open to whatver you want to tr
[01:50] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Therefore viruses, trojans and spyware won't run on Ubuntu
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> webbhawk_h4x0r42: the windows keylogger will not run as windows is not running, its linux
[01:50] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Again, no black magic
[01:50] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> wj32:  so i thought right.. it would be much safer this way
[01:50] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: still looking through it - looks like all you probably need to do is download and compile the firmware
[01:50] <faileas> gvsa123: depends on how you set it up
[01:50] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> wj32: i didnt get that saying you said.. no black magic one...
[01:50] <usr13> johninlex: lspci
[01:51] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: oh its just that some people think that computers do magical things
[01:51] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: never mind
[01:51] <johninlex> it is a theros wireless card  ar242x,  I have tried my windows driver
[01:51] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: what i said wasn't entirely true because there might be viruses and spyware for linux in the future
[01:51] <gvsa123> faileas: just installed samba, restarted the daemon, right clicked on one of my folders from /home and shared it.
[01:51] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> wj32: kk.. so i would be safe.. even if windows was infected
[01:51] <seth> Jordan_U: I am going to reboot and try the older kernel.. Hopefully that will work.. Thanks
[01:52] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: but right now there's no viruses and spyware for linux (probably 1 or 2 actually)
[01:52] <gvsa123> faileas: i found it from the ms side but i can't access it... (so safe)
[01:52] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> wj32:  really u think so.. virus's for linux ?
[01:52] <rww> !virus | webbhawk_h4x0r42
[01:52] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: i mean in the wild
[01:52] <faileas> gvsa123: one moment there's a good howto on setting up samba i use
[01:52] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> wj32:  u think it could be possible in the future
[01:52] <gvsa123> faileas: is it this one? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605
[01:52] <ActionParsnip> rww: webbhawk_h4x0r42: there are a small few linux virii but they are not very wild at all
[01:52] <loafers> I have a .img file I would like to mount, is there a program to do this?  Or something to extract the contents?
[01:52] <BWF89> I think most anti-virus software for Linux isn't to detect Linux viruses. it's to detect Windows viruses so that you don't pass them onto your friends who use Windows.
[01:52] <faileas> gvsa123: no http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-gutsy-samba-standalone-server-with-tdbsam-backend
[01:52] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Linux is popular on servers, not just desktops
[01:53] <wj32> i agree with BWF89
[01:53] <faileas> loafers: i can't rememeber how to do it offhand but you're looking at something called loopmounting
[01:53] <BWF89> same with anti-virus software for Mac OSX.
[01:53] <loafers> I tried that but I think it only works for .iso files
[01:53] <loafers> mine is .img file
[01:54] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> is the "linux" community working to keep virus out .. even in the future
[01:54] <loafers> and cdemu doesn't support that file either i think
[01:54] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: They are very fast at patching known vulnerabilities compared to MS
[01:54] <wj32> loafers: have you tried mounting it using -o loop?
[01:54] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay, what's the result of this command: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep alsa
[01:54] <usr13> johninlex: System -> Hardware Drivers  and look for everything that has Atheros in it. Tick the box in behind of ?Atheros Hardware Access
[01:54] <eseven73> I'm getting like 6 dependency issues with deluge-torrent in Hardy
[01:54] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> interesting..

[01:55] <rww> eseven73: pastebin the specific errors?
[01:55] <gvsa123> faileas: oh that's fine. i've been able to setup using the link i sent, i was just hoping things were much simpler now. last time i had ubuntu was with feisty.
[01:55] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> and .. does the ubuntu live cd run pretty fast.. or would yall recomend a diff version to use
[01:55] <eseven73> ok
[01:55] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: i recommend you install ubuntu!
[01:55] <bastid_raZor> webbhawk_h4x0r42; the CD will run considerably slower than an install
[01:55] <loafers> ActionParsnip, thanks.
[01:55] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I am typin git now
[01:55] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: I heard that Firefox vulnerabilties are patched in nine days on average while for IE it's over 200 days
[01:56] <faileas> gvsa123: what should interest you is that with the tdbsan backend, you can use your accounts on the box to access samba. ;p
[01:56] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> yeah but i cant. im not on my machine .. i have ubuntu on all my pc's

[01:56] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I get quite a few things how to I create the web link
[01:56] <wj32> eseven73: have you tried running apt-get -f install
[01:56] <eseven73> not yet
[01:56] <rww> eseven73: what happens when you do sudo apt-get -f install"
[01:56] <wj32> eseven73: as it says in what you pasted
[01:57] <faileas> gvsa123: yup
[01:57] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: dpkg -l | grep ^ii | grep alsa > alsalist.txt && cat alsalist.txt | pastebinit
[01:57] <rww> eseven73: ah, okay. Try that and then try the install again and let us know if you still have problems :)
[01:57] <wj32> eseven73: i've had that error lots of times, and -f install has always fixed it
[01:57] <faileas> well any account thats on the linux box anyway
[01:57] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> will the live cd be very slow.. hard to get some work done? im gona be working online.. on websites
[01:57] <faileas> gvsa123: i have one file server and a mix of linux and windows boxen- this setup works brilliently
[01:57] <kgodwin> webbhawk_h4x0r42: It ran decently enough for me, but isntalling it is 1000% better.
[01:57] <eseven73> rww: wj32 its saying now i can install those libs, is it safe though?
[01:57] <gvsa123> faileas: cool eh.. i'd like to keep it simple for now. jsut me and my wife sharing/playing movies from each others' pc...
[01:57] <wj32> webbhawk_h4x0r42: well if ubuntu crashes for some reason you're going to lose all your work
[01:58] <rww> webbhawk_h4x0r42: it depends very much on your hardware, so we're not going to be able to tell you specifics.
[01:58] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> yeah
[01:58] <johninlex> usr13 that would be easy if it was just a restricted driver,
[01:58] <rww> eseven73: pastebin the new output, please
[01:58] <seth> Jordan_U: I rebooted and tried the older kernel and my CD Drive does not work..So I guess that means it is a hardware problem.
[01:58] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: If you really need a faster system you could use a lighter distro
[01:58] <wj32> eseven73: it usually gives that error if you were installing something and you interrupted it
[01:58] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> yeah .. puppy linux maybe
[01:58] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea /f9206dc8
[01:58] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> dsl i heard about also
[01:58] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: I like Damn Small Linux, especially if you run it with the toram option
[01:59] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> toram?
[01:59] <eseven73> rww: http://paste.ubuntu.com/99345/
[01:59] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Installs it to the ramdisk, slower to boot but runs really fast
[01:59] <wj32> eseven73: that just means its ok, just type Y and press enter!
[01:59] <rww> eseven73: yup, that looks fine. Go ahead and hit Y to continue and press enter.
[01:59] <eseven73> ok thanks
[01:59] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I am not seeing the alsa-libs in there, i am pretty sure I still need to compile them, though I downloaded them from the alsa site and extracted to the desktop, though there is nothing on the desktop (it is nice and clean)
[02:00] <wj32> eseven73: but you should still get the latest version from the website
[02:00] <wj32> eseven73: deluge-torrent.org
[02:00] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Plus DSL downloads in a couple of minutes for most people
[02:00] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> mattbd: when i use a live cd.. can i install thing still or no. like if i needed a chat application could i d/l and install xchat
[02:00] <eseven73> wj32: yeah i did that first, then got the errors, so then i tried to install it from repos
[02:00] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: do you get any results from this command?  ls -l /usr/lib/libasound*
[02:00] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> or some.. firefox extensions.. firebug and stuff
[02:00] <wj32> eseven73: the problem is you had to run apt-get install -f first
[02:00] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Depends on the distro. In Ubuntu you can install it to your current session
[02:01] <rww> webbhawk_h4x0r42: on the Ubuntu LiveCD, yes; apt-get and synaptic work just like on a full install.
[02:01] <wj32> eseven73: not that the website version doesn't work
[02:01] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: But when you reboot it won't be there
[02:01] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> thats fine.. is there a way to create a custom livecd maybe
[02:01] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: Ubuntu Customization Kit
[02:01] <eseven73> wj32: so what exactly does sudo apt-get install -f do ?
[02:01] <gvsa123> faileas: are you aware of any package from synaptic that simplifies working "mshome"
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> eseven73: it fixes the packages by removing or adding packages so dependancies are all met
[02:02] <Gnea> !info libasound2
[02:02] <wj32> eseven73: i have no idea, but i presume it finishes installing packages it was installing before it got interrupted
[02:02] <ActionParsnip> eseven73: makes the system whole again
[02:02] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: ^^^
[02:02] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: It can be gotten from uck.sourceforge.net and lets you remaster an ISO image
[02:02] <eseven73> ok
[02:02] <gvsa123> faileas: i'm hoping for something to tell a newbie: "oh just go to synaptic and install this package",.... lol
[02:03] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea let me chck
[02:03] <loafers> Someone gave me the link to mount .img file (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=149197) and it says to install "loop".  Where do I install "loop"?
[02:03] <ac3_0f_spad3s> is there such a thing as bare unix? can you install bare unix on a system?
[02:03] <wj32> loafers: you execute sudo mount -o loop [imgfile] [mount point]
[02:04] <mattbd> ac3_0f_spades: Not sure what you mean
[02:04] <wj32> loafers: oops, its sudo mount -t udf -o loop [imgfile] [mount point]
[02:04] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: you can also see what package /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 belongs to like this:  dpkg -S /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
[02:04] <ac3_0f_spad3s> !unix
[02:05] <loafers> wj32, I tried what was written in the thread and got the error:  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
[02:05] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea when I typed the libasound* command I got 2 lines
[02:05] <miguel__> Hi all!
[02:05] <wj32> loafers: try replacing -t udf with -t iso9660
[02:05] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay, try out dpkg -S /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
[02:05] <mattbd> ac3_0f_spad3s: I know what Unix is, but what do you mean by bare Unix? Do you mean something minimal?
[02:05] <eseven73> Woah deluge is nice :)
[02:05] <webbhawk_h4x0r42> mattbd: have you had any experience with puppy ?
[02:05] <ac3_0f_spad3s> yes mattbd
[02:05] <rww> eseven73: yes it is :D
[02:05] <bulletmike> when i type perl and hit return, it wont return anything. I have to do ctrl -c to break it. I installed the latest perl using apt-get. is there anything im missing ?
[02:05] <chilli0> hello all
[02:06] <wj32> !hello | chilli0
[02:06] <chilli0> how do i disable my mic from running all the dam time?
[02:06] <ac3_0f_spad3s> something very unhackable
[02:06] <eseven73> rww: im getting 1.1mb/s from a Arch linux iso :)
[02:06] <loafers> wj32, Same error.
[02:06] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea yea it says /usr/lib/libasound.so.2 for the fisr command, let me try the other
[02:06] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay
[02:06] <Jordan_U> bulletmike: You need to type ctrl+D ( EOF )
[02:06] <rww> bulletmike: that's how it's supposed to work. If you want to run a perl script, issue "perl filename.pl"
[02:06] <mattbd> ac3_0f_spad3s:Maybe FreeBSD would be good for that
[02:06] <wj32> loafers: is it a dvd or cd
[02:06] <chilli0> if i make anysound my mic amps it lol
[02:06] <ac3_0f_spad3s> mattbd is that minimal?
[02:06] <sudobash> Hey is there a way to fsck a windows partition?
[02:06] <bulletmike> great. thanks rww
[02:06] <loafers> wj32, It's a cd image file from a book I have.
[02:06] <sudobash> ntfs to be exact
[02:06] <rww> eseven73: Arch is nice too :D
[02:07] <mib_2dc6mp> Gneathat last command gave me about 12 lines
[02:07] <mattbd> webbhawk_h4x0r42: I have used it but prefer DSL
[02:07] <eseven73> rww: i cant get arch working on Vbox :(
[02:07] <wj32> i can't think of any CD specs besides UDF and ISO9660
[02:07] <rww> sudobash: http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsck : not yet, no
[02:07] <eseven73> or Opensuse only Ubuntu and win xp
[02:07] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea they are all lib(someething)
[02:07] <Jordan_U> sudobash: ntfxfix will fix some things, I'm not sure how much to trust it though
[02:07] <root> Hello all. :)
[02:07] <wj32> so it has to be some unknown format
[02:07] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay, so:  dpkg dpkg -S /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0 | pastebinit
[02:07] <loafers> wj32, ok thansk for helping
[02:07] <ebaby> hello: can anyone tell me if this command can assist in correcting a graphics display problem in 8.10 - "sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[02:07] <mattbd> ac3_0f_spad3s: FreeBSD is very minimal out of the box, you pretty much install everything you want yourself
[02:08] <wfoster_> Hey all!
[02:08] <Dexi> hey guys i got about 4 lines of terminal i need help with, pastebin?
[02:08] <wj32> ebaby: no, that's the bootloader
[02:08] <wj32> Dexi: go ahead
[02:08] <ac3_0f_spad3s> mattbd can i install ubuntu on top of freeBSD?
[02:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Dexi, Pastebin. not in channel
[02:08] <mattbd> ac3_0f_spad3s: If you want something unhackable OpenBSD is the way to go
[02:08] <rww> eseven73: perhaps ask for help in #archlinux on this server ?
[02:08] <wfoster_> wj32: rww: Remember me? From last night? Well, I went out and bought a Macbook today. No need to worry about that pesky sudo situation anymore.
[02:08] <Gnea> ebaby: depending on what you put in it, perhaps
[02:08] <ActionParsnip> mattbd: if you want unhackable, disconnect network connectivity
[02:08] <Dexi> http://pastebin.com/m1a7258d8
[02:08] <mattbd> ac3_0f_spad3s: No, it's a completely different operating system
[02:09] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea that didnt work: dpkg needs an action option, do we need that && cat thing
[02:09] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip: And the keyboard :)
[02:09] <mattbd> ActionParsnip: lol!
[02:09] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: yeah
[02:09] <ActionParsnip> mattbd: any system with internet connectivity has some chance of being hacked
[02:09] <chilli0> its im possable to get hacked w\o intenet thats why i recomend tesltra
[02:09] <rww> wfoster_: I remember the name, but not the problem =/. If you're trying to say that OS X doesn't use sudo... umm, I hate to tell you, but it does.
[02:09] <wj32> Dexi: sudo mkdir /usr/local/plugins first
[02:09] <ebaby> wj32: I came across this page: "https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/54867" that had that on it and I belive it could solve my problem(s) - do you mind taking a quick glance at it for me to confirm/negate... thnx
[02:09] <linduxed> off toptic - will an acer travelmate most likely have a 65W powerpack or 90W?
[02:09] <rww> !ot | linduxed
[02:10] <linduxed> might also be 30W but i highly doubt it
[02:10] <ac3_0f_spad3s> mattbd this is why im asking for something minimal. i would like something i can run ubuntu from
[02:10] <wfoster_> rww: Leopard OS X uses sudo? Well, at least it won't corrupt all the time like Wubi.
[02:10] <mattbd> ActionParsnip: Yeah I know but OpenBSD is about as close to unhackable as anything you can find
[02:10] <linduxed> rww: thx
[02:10] <wj32> ebaby: i guess so, but didn't you have problems with graphics?
[02:10] <wfoster_> Is there a Apple or Mac channel?
[02:10] <mattbd> ac3_0f_spad3s: So you want to be able to set up a minimal Linux system?
[02:10] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea what comes after the >
[02:10] <Jack_Sparrow> wfoster_, If you understood what wubi is and does you would not have used it int he first place
[02:11] <mattbd> ac3_0f_spad3s: But using Ubuntu?
[02:11] <ac3_0f_spad3s> mattbd may i pm you
[02:11] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea would it be libasound.2.0.0.txt
[02:11] <mattbd> ac3_0f_spad3s: Sure
[02:11] <ebaby> wj32: yeah all is well during the install ( i can even use firefox on web) but after install/reboot there is no display.
[02:11] <Jordan_U> wfoster_: Yes, ##mac
[02:11] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: well > is the output directive, so go ahead and make up a filename to put the infomration into - it can be anything you want it to be
[02:11] <wfoster_> Jack_Sparrow: What does it do then?
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !wubi
[02:11] <wfoster_> Jordan_U: Thanks.
[02:11] <Jordan_U> wfoster_: np
[02:11] <rww> wfoster_: Yes it does, yes it might, and if I were in less of a terse mood tonight I'd PM you some of the reasons why I switched from OS X to Ubuntu. But yeah, OS X discussion is off-topic for #ubuntu, so go to ##mac.
[02:11] <Jack_Sparrow> wfoster_, read the faq.  I wont use nor would I ever recommend it
[02:11] <ebaby> wj32: it seems that the page is saying something about making sure the commands stick after restarting
[02:12] <wj32> ebaby: ok, then do it
[02:12] <MatthiasM> hi, after I upgraded to 8.10 every reboot the keyboard layout switches back to US instead of DE
[02:12] <wj32> whats the difference between one hash '#' and two hashes '##' for channel names?
[02:12] <Shadow_X> isn't there an app that will allow me to use a VNC client on another computer to connect to my server and login to a brand new X session?
[02:12] <Dexi> wj32: ok i worked it into the right dir, now im getting this: http://pastebin.com/m16f31770
[02:12] <rww> wj32: ask in #freenode
[02:13] <ActionParsnip> Shadow_X: you can connect to servername:2 and it will load another x server
[02:13] <ebaby> wj32: which I am assuming is wht my problem is... I tried it via root and got the message "(gedit:4379) : Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display"
[02:13] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea, I hope I did this right, /f7278fe9d
[02:14] <wj32> Dexi: why are you using sudo for make?
[02:14] <Shadow_X> ActionParsnip: to i need to do any specific config on the server aside from allowing remote X?
[02:14] <eseven73> !gksu | ebaby
[02:14] <wj32> Dexi: just run make
[02:14] <Dexi> wj32: it said permission denied when i didnt
[02:14] <waykaat> hiya
[02:14] <wj32> Dexi: that's weird. make should only compile the prog, not install it
[02:14] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: looks good :)
[02:15] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea when I try it with dpkg -l it says no package found matching /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
[02:15] <Dexi> wj32: its a weird thing its got going on... install directions told me to edit the first line of the makefile to my plugins dir and then type make, without ./configure first
[02:15] <ActionParsnip> Shadow_X: nope, i think it just gets spawned, try websearching vnc to headless pc
[02:15] <rww> Dexi: which program?
[02:15] <Dexi> rww "sessionsave" plugin for pidgin
[02:16] <Shadow_X> ActionParsnip: thanks bro
[02:16] <rww> !vnc | Shadow_X: you mean a VNC server?
[02:16] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: right, if you type: dpkg --help  you will see that -l and -S do 2 different things. so, it looks like your alsa libraries are in place - there's no need to worry about them, it's the firmware that's the problem
[02:16] <Shadow_X> !FreeNX
[02:16] <Shadow_X> ?
[02:16] <ebaby> eseven73: not sure what !gksu means as I am green
[02:16] <mib_2dc6mp> ok
[02:16] <rww> Dexi: Ah. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me that plugins are weird.
[02:17] <eseven73> ebaby: it's a better method of using graphical apps as root
[02:17] <wj32> eseven73: he can't get his display working
[02:17] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea so I am guessing ubuntustudio either came with all the alsa, or when I downloaded it from synaptic it installed everything (though I never downloaded alsa-libs)
[02:17] <Dexi> rww, i think i can make it work if i just copy the file, whats the terminal command to copy something from home/whatever to /usr/local/lib/purple-2
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> Shadow_X: http://forums.teamphoenixrising.net/showthread.php?t=32325
[02:17] <rww> Dexi: cp /home/whatever/filename /usr/local/lib/purple-2
[02:17] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: so let's concentrate on that:   find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*" > mialist.txt && cat mialist | pastebinit
[02:17] <rww> Dexi: possibly with a sudo in front of it; and if it's a directory, do cp -R
[02:18] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea ok lemme do that
[02:18] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: there is no alsa-libs in ubuntu, it's called libasound2
[02:18] <Dexi> rww ok, i think last time i did it wrong because it moved the whole dir but i didnt say -R idk ill go try
[02:18] <ebaby> eseven73; is there a way to get to "terminal"  from the recovery Menu?
[02:18] <COMPLICE36> hola a todos ^^
[02:18] <wfoster_> ebaby: Can't you access the top bar?
[02:19] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: sorry, cat mialist.txt | pastebinit   lol
[02:19] <COMPLICE36> !list
[02:19] <rww> !es | COMPLICE36
[02:19] <wfoster_> !list
[02:19] <Jack_Sparrow> wfoster_, We dont serve files
[02:19] <Gnea> !warez
[02:19] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I must be typing something wrong : find/lib/firmware/: no such directory
[02:19] <shear> Hi! Can anyone help me with a problem I'm having mounting USB Mass Storage devices? Details of what I've done so far are here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6476221
[02:19] <Dexi> rww whats the rename command?
[02:20] <ebaby> wfoster: the top bar?
[02:20] <rww> Dexi: same as the move command: mv oldname newname
[02:20] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: make sure there's a space:  find /lib/firmware/
[02:20] <Dexi> rww: nevermind im doing it wrong anyway lol
[02:20] <Dexi> forget it, ill just ditch the plugin :-/
[02:20] <Dexi> gonna go get some chili and come back later :D
[02:20] <rww> !terminal | Dexi: basic help on command-line usage (if you feel like reading through it)
[02:20] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea thats the prob
[02:21] <sudobash> so ntfsck works?
[02:21] <s3a> is it possible to remove images off of pidgin ONLY on the window things on the bottom task bar?
[02:22] <s3a> images=people's display pictures
[02:22] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: ?
[02:22] <Raylz> s3a: #pidgin
[02:22] <s3a> i want it to always show status on those window things
[02:22] <rww> sudobash: did you read the link I sent you?
[02:22] <s3a> Raylz, k thx
[02:22] <sudobash> it looks like it is being distributed
[02:22] <sudobash> http://downloads.sourceforge.net/linux-ntfs/ntfsprogs-2.0.0.tar.gz?modtime=1190969237&big_mirror=1
[02:23] <Jack_Sparrow> shear, that is characteristic of an unclean mount or fsck detecting issues with the device
[02:23] <Dexi> thanks rww ill make a point to get to that sooner or later
[02:23] <eseven73> ebaby: sorry i had to answer the door, you can get a terminal in recovery mode this way: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo#recoverymode
[02:23] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea now I get a keyboard interrpt find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp" > mialist.txt && cat mialist.txt | pastebinit
[02:23] <Raylz> haha, just compiling the new gnome :)
[02:23] <shear> Jack_Sparrow, I did run fsck, and posted the result in that thread
[02:23] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea am i supposed to take the -name out
[02:23] <shear> Jack_Sparrow, do you know how to fix it?
[02:24] <sudobash> ahhhh ntfsresize -fi /dev/hdXY
[02:24] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: well, you're looking for anything that -starts- with the mib_dsp, so it needs to be "mia_dsp*"
[02:24] <Jack_Sparrow> !fsck
[02:24] <rww> sudobash: "ntfsprogs" is a collection of programs for managing the ntfs file system, and is available as an Ubuntu package anyway. ntfsck doesn't exist yet, but will eventually; in the meantime, install ntfsprogs and run the command on that page
[02:24] <rww> !info ntfsprogs
[02:24] <sudobash> so ntfsprogs is obsolete but ntfsck is not ready yet?
[02:25] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I added the * but I still get a keyboard interrupt
[02:25] <Jack_Sparrow> shear, for the best answers pastebin the output, dont make people search through a thread looking for it
[02:25] <sudobash> Package ntfsprogs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[02:25] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: hrm, try it like this then:  find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*"
[02:25] <rww> sudobash: what version of Ubuntu are you using?
[02:26] <sudobash> wait my install must not be up to date cause it worked in california
[02:26] <eseven73> ebaby: oops i should have told you to skip down to like the 5th image, thats where it shows for terminal
[02:26] <shear> Jack_Sparrow, without reading the thread, someone else trying to help won't know what has already been suggested to me
[02:26] <sudobash> ntfsresize -fi /dev/hdXY    how well does this work?
[02:27] <Jack_Sparrow> sudobash, gparted live is a better bet
[02:27] <peepsalot> i'm trying to set up a raid 5 array as described here: http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=188  but when I run the commands to edit /etc/mdadm/mdadm/conf it says permission denied.  how can there be permission denied to edit a file if I am using sudo?
[02:27] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea that is what I have find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*" > mialist.txt && cat mialist.txt | pastebinit
[02:27] <sudobash> i am trying to check fs from 3000 miles away
[02:27] <rww> Jack_Sparrow: that command is (surprisingly) for filesystem checking, not resizing.
[02:28] <sudobash> yeah it says it needs to be checked with chkdsk /F now
[02:28] <sudobash> crap
[02:28] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I get a kbord interrupt catched
[02:28] <Aji-Daha1a> macbook pro 3.1, intrepid, 2-finger vertical scrolling doesn't work.  I have the appletouch.fdi from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro3-1/Intrepid and it still doesn't work
[02:29] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea I must be missing something in the command
[02:29] <Aji-Daha1a> any ideas?
[02:29] <ebaby> eseven73: I am trying to fix a prob where install is fine but after install and reboot I get no visual/gui/etc. I believe this page - "https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/54867"  describes what is happening to me but since I am new I am not 100% certain. your thoughts...
[02:29] <sudobash> any ideas on fixing the ntfs errors?
[02:29] <peepsalot> why does it tell me permission denied when I run this command?  sudo echo "DEVICE partitions" > /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf
[02:29] <sudobash> from 3000 miles away?
[02:29] <Jordan_U> sudobash: Again, ntfsfix *might* do it
[02:29] <sudobash> ok
[02:30] <KoolD> how do you prevent the usb pendrives being auto explored?
[02:30] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: right, all I'm saying is, try it without doing the output and pastebin
[02:30] <sudobash> it says it actually just marks it as dirty
[02:30] <JonathanEllis>  I have a problem getting grub to boot windows xp on an extended partition. Windows is on sda6 and grub comes up with error 12 when I try to boot it. The relevant section of my menu.lst is at http://pastebin.com/d6fa86776     Can anyone tell me how to boot windows from an extended partition using grub?
[02:30] <sudobash> so windows checks it
[02:30] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea oh ok
[02:31] <gillroy> why is the current package for gnuoctave only version 3.0.0 (ubuntu 8.04
[02:31] <sudobash> so maybe if i mark it and restart it and set windows as default os to boot then it will chkdsk when it boots but will it fix errors?
[02:31] <eseven73> ebaby: im prolly the worse person in here to ask about display issues or networking sorry :)
[02:31] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea find /lib/firmware/ -name "mia_dsp*"  nothing happens
[02:31] <rww> sudobash: the only reason to put yourself through the torture of ntfs is if you have windows. if you have windows, reboot into windows and then ask in ##windows for help.
[02:32] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay, and I just tried it too like that - the "KeyboardInterrupt caught." means that pastebinit won't send an empty file
[02:32] <sudobash> well i am 3000 miles away ubuntu to ubuntu trying to fix a dual boot XP partition : (
[02:32] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea so I need some drivers or something?
[02:32] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: all this means is that there is no firmware installed for your soundcard at all - now that we have that confirmed, let's get the firmware
[02:32] <ebaby> Jack_Sparrow: can you lend an ear?
[02:32] <mib_2dc6mp> Gnea sounds good!
[02:33] <PosterBoy> Can someone tell me how to mount my windows partition please?
[02:33] <PosterBoy> im gonna get rid of windows for good
[02:33] <JonathanEllis> PosterBoy: You need to mount your win partion in linux?
[02:33] <PosterBoy> but i need to copy a few more files over first
[02:33] <Jack_Sparrow> ebaby, Sorry, trying to watch the playoffs... just lurking to keep an eye on things
[02:33] <rww> !ntfs | PosterBoy
[02:33] <PosterBoy> JonathanEllis, yes
[02:34] <PosterBoy> JonathanEllis, it was mounted before but i unmounted it in GParted and now it says i dont have permission to mount it anymore
[02:34] <JonathanEllis> PosterBoy: Ah, I see someone has helped you already
[02:34] <ebaby> Jack_Sparrow: I understand thanks though
[02:34] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks for understanding
[02:34] <sudobash> mount -t ntfs-3g /media/disk /dev/sda1
[02:34] <Jordan_U> sudobash: I think you have that backwards
[02:35] <Gnea> mib_2dc6mp: okay, let's make sure your module is set correctly. do you get anything from this command:  lsmod | grep snd_mia
[02:35] <Jordan_U> sudobash: device then mountpoint
[02:35] <eseven73> hmm ebaby just curious, have you tried Hardy? and see if you still have this same issue?
[02:35] <sudobash> oops yeah
[02:35] <JonathanEllis> PosterBoy, sudobash: I think that should be sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /media/disk /dev/sda1  shouldnt it?
[02:35] <sudobash> lol yeah im intoxicated though
[02:35] <sudobash> so forgive me
[02:35] <cdm10> Has anyone had issues with time in f-spot? My photos show the correct time with every other app, but in F-spot they show the UTC time.
[02:36] <JonathanEllis> PosterBoy: If you put sudo before the mount command that will give you permission
[02:36] <rww> JonathanEllis: sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/devicename /path/to/mountpoint (or replace ntfs with ntfs-3g if writing to the ntfs partition requried)

[02:39] <eseven73> can we see you? yes.
[02:39] <JonathanEllis> !ask | peepsalot
[02:39] <Ultrahex> ethan: its because your wireless router is most likely not broadcasting

[02:41] <biotrox> ethan, the one didn't working is your wireless router or your wireless adapter?

[02:49] <biotrox> ethan, go to gnome-terminal, and type in sudo lspci
[02:49] <Jordan_U> ebaby: The thing is that they should stick, IIRC the xorg.conf configured for the live session is copied to the installed system

[02:49] <PosterBoy> JonathanEllis, it is now mounted. Thank you.
[02:49] <dr_willis> JonathanEllis,  ages ago  I recall there being grub options to 'swap' drives around.. but im not sure you can swap a logical to be a 'primary' and as far as i know WIndows  sort of demands to be on a primary partition. Not sure if Vista is still that way. Pretty sure XP was.. and Im VERY sure 95/98 had to be
[02:50] <ethan> biotrox: ok i did now what?
