[04:20] <Geoffrey2> LSD, I'm getting the impression the problem is that the keyring is not unlocking...when I go into the wlan0 properties menu it shows a password already saved, when I re-enter the password, THEN I get a prompt for the password to unlock the master keyring....
[04:20] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: That's what I was thinking........Evolution should be able to do sound. Let me see.......
[04:21] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, actually, interfaces already appears to be set up........
[04:21] <feng_> which IDE of C++ you often use in ubuntu?
[04:21] <LSD|Ninja> Geoffrey2: you should be ablw to tell it to always allow access to the keyring
[04:22] <Leefmc> Question: After installing ubuntu and xp everything is fine with GRUB, except when i choose to boot into XP, xp gives an error about hal.dll missing. Google suggests this is a problem with xp's boot.ini, anyone have a good solution?
[04:22] <feng_>  which IDE of C++ you often use in ubuntu?
[04:22] <feng_>  which IDE of C++ you often use in ubuntu?
[04:22] <LSD|Ninja> ...
[04:22] <puff> feng_: Probably emacs :-).
[04:22] <arquebus> feng- anjuta
[04:22] <ender_> geany
[04:22] <puff> feng_: But eclipse is quite popular in the java world and I know it has C++ support as well.
[04:22] <Infinito_> emacs, geany.
[04:22] <Infinito_> eclipse more and more lately
[04:23] <ender_> anjuta some, too
[04:23] <louie_> Hello
[04:23] <pw-> does anyone have experience with ubuntu under tha sony vaio platform?
[04:23] <feng_> i'd like code autocomplete ide
[04:23] <pw-> the*
[04:23] <louie_> pw - no, but what's the problem
[04:23] <Flannel> Leefmc: What's up?  Best to just ask.
[04:24] <Cpudan80> feng_: Use monodevelop
[04:24] <daklan> pw-: i have. installed on a SZ- series
[04:24] <pw-> wireless card drivers, louie_, i googled it, seems to be a common problem, drivers don't work properly, some have gotten it to work, no one explains how
[04:24] <Cpudan80> feng_: C++ in eclipse sucks because of the way it tries to do compilation (ie every time you save)
[04:24] <pw-> daklan, this is the NR series
[04:24] <PDF_q> I am trying to run a cron task but for some reason nothing is happening. I used the crontab -e command set the cron task to 15 and 30 minutes, then used /etc/init.d/cron restart to get it to work but nothing is happening
[04:24] <Razer> why is the standard version of transmission used in Ubuntu so old?
[04:24] <Geoffrey2> LSD|Ninja, here's the contents of the interfaces file, minus the password, obviously..... http://pastebin.ca/1203040
[04:24] <daklan> pw-: might be different hardware. wireless card worked out of the box for me
[04:24] <Cpudan80> That may have changed with a newer plugin, but monodevelop is supposed to be the equivalent of Visual C++ feng_
[04:24] <louie_> pw - have you tired the new alpha 5
[04:25] <feng_> i've tried them ,but  seem not so good
[04:25] <Leefmc> Flannel: Already did :p
[04:25] <brody> has anyone had a problem with sound working/ not working with flash such as youtube in ubuntu?
[04:25] <Leefmc> Question: After installing ubuntu and xp everything is fine with GRUB, except when i choose to boot into XP, xp gives an error about hal.dll missing. Google suggests this is a problem with xp's boot.ini, anyone have a good solution?
[04:25] <pw-> louie_, i have not, what is it?
[04:25] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: what is the device?
[04:25] <louie_> the new version of ubuntu that's comming out oct. 30th
[04:25] <veritos> When I update a package with apt-get, does it overwrite the files in /etc? If so, does it keep a backup automatically?
[04:25] <Flannel> Leefmc: That is entirely an XP thing yes.  You've handed the boot off to windows, and its... doing whatever it does.
[04:26] <pw-> IndyGunFreak, let me find out
[04:26] <prog077> iwant anet cut program on ubuntu?
[04:26] <Leefmc> Flannel: Bummer
[04:26] <LSD|Ninja> prog077: what wifi chip do you have?
[04:26] <Leefmc> Flannel: Imma try somethin then, bbl, wish me luck
[04:26] <LSD|Ninja> prog077: ignore that
[04:26] <LSD|Ninja> pw-: what wifi chip do you have?
[04:26] <Flannel> veritos: It shouldn't overwrite anything, because they'll already be there.  If you make changes, it'll try and merge/ask you about merging said changes (but changes shouldn't matter)
[04:26] <shaka> hello there
[04:26] <Flam> Does EeeUbuntu work well for the 1000h model of Eee PC?
[04:26] <pw-> LSD|Ninja, IndyGunFreak: Atheros (AR5006EG)
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: is that how lspci identifies it?
[04:27] <feng_> i use intel 3945 wifi chip ,but it doesn't work well
[04:27] <physically_fit> brody, $ sudo apt-get install libflashsupport
[04:27] <LSD|Ninja> Flam: 1000H has a hard drive, you shouldn't have to bother with cut-down stuff on it
[04:27] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, I pasted my interfaces file, minus the actual passkey, could you look and see if anything looks out of place? http://pastebin.ca/1203040
[04:27] <Flannel> veritos: er, changes shouldn't be big changes, not changes shouldn't matter.
[04:27] <veritos> Flannel: Thanks. Do I need to run anything special to merge them, or does it ask right away?
[04:27] <shaka> only i'm gonna ask you if you know about lhc
[04:27] <J-n> Scruffy00 this guy says he's got a python script that fixes the sound notification problems in evolution- check it out - http://thpinfo.com/2007/hacks/       i hope it helps.
[04:27] <Flannel> veritos: It shouldn't have any changes (except when upgrading from Ubuntu version to Ubuntu version)
[04:27] <pw-> IndyGunFreak, i'm not sure, i googled my laptop and got that, to find out through linux i'd have to run the live CD, then boot back into windows
[04:28] <shaka> please check it lhc
[04:28] <LSD|Ninja> 3945 is fine, problem is likely between keyboard and chair :P
[04:28] <Scruffy00> J-n:  I will take a look at it.  Thanks.
[04:28] <prog077> I am a junior on ubuntu  and a very slow speed Internet
[04:28] <shaka> see you latter alligator
[04:28] <kapace> k, all of a sudden, my printer stopped working, unless it has PS 2 filtering, what could cause this?
[04:28] <J-n> Scruffy00 might be outdated tho, dunno.
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: it would proably help.. boot to Ubuntu, open a termianl and run "lspci"... no quotes.. and write down exactly how it identifies the device
[04:28] <pw-> ok, let me get in here with the desktop PC, and run the liveCD on the laptop
[04:29] <brody> physically_fit - k thanks man
[04:29] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: ok
[04:29] <J-n> Scruffy00 if it's any consolation, i spent this time setting up evolution so i could see if i could get the sound notification to work, and it seems when i click "Test" as well, i get no sound either.
[04:29] <tehdave_> Is there a reason OpenGL would stop working properly after running a "Fix X Server" in Hardy?
[04:29] <Flam> LSD|Ninja: I want something that works well out of the box, that's the thing.  If Eeeubuntu is tailored for Eees and comes prepackaged with it's drivers - im happy
[04:30] <Scruffy00> J-n:  I am glad that I am not the only one.  How do I use the script or install it....
[04:30] <Flam> if it's too cut down i can download stuff after it installs
[04:30] <brody> physically_fit -yea thanks man it works now
[04:30] <physically_fit> cool
[04:30] <J-n> Scruffy00 GOK lol
[04:30] <LSD|Ninja> pw-: That's one of the later ones that the version of madwifi in Hardy doesn't support. It should be supported come Intrepid though so if you can hold out a few more weeks you should be good
[04:30] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: You still here?
[04:30] <brody> later all
[04:30] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  I am here
[04:31] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: i was messing w/ Intrepid today, it doesn't support my atheros chipset yet(Ar242x)
[04:31] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: took a long time, but I found the settubg
[04:31] <pw--> LSD|Ninja, intrepid being 8.10?
[04:31] <LSD|Ninja> pw--: yeah
[04:31] <pw--> ok thank you, i can hold out =)
[04:31] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  what is that?
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: you can probalby get it working under hardy if you want to try....
[04:32] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: ok, maybe I dont know about your setup.  I set mine up differently
[04:32] <pw--> IndyGunFreak, still loading up the liveCD =)
[04:32] <bobertdos> It's under Edit->Plugins->Mail Notification->Configuration tab
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> like i said, i messed w/ Intrepid a while today, and couldnt get my wireless going.
[04:32] <Flam> Now you made me nervous... should I install regular ubuntu on my eeepc 1000h?
[04:32] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: you can get the drivers Intrepid will be using backported to Hardy but it's kinda messy
[04:32] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  okay, let me take a look.
[04:32] <PDF_q> anyone?
[04:32] <pw--> this is a left field noob question, if overly stupid please ignore: is it possible to mount an existing NTFS partition to /home
[04:33] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, ok, thanks for trying...
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: well, i was trying to make it work w/ madwifi under Intrepid, the way I did under hardy, and that was no joy.
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: you can mount it, not sure if you can mount it to /home though
[04:33] <LSD|Ninja> pw--: as /home, no. Into /home, sure
[04:33] <pw--> ah, hmm
[04:33] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  okay, what am I looking for?
[04:33] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: you are  doing wpa-something for all your directives.  In mine, I do wireless-directive  where directive matches something from iwconfig
[04:34] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: Well, there should be a checkbox there for playing sound upon message arrival.
[04:34] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: "s/wpa/wireless/g"
[04:35] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: but, I wass looking through the man pages, and I couldnt find clear information
[04:35] <pw--> IndyGunFreak, i'm sorry, the log where you told me the command was on another IRC client which i closed, could you please repeat it?
[04:35] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  I see it, and I have had the box checked.  J-n sent me to a web sit with a python script, but I don't know what to do with it.
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: lspci  and see how it identifies your wireless chipset
[04:35] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, the thing is, I didn't set any of this up, Ubuntu created that file for me.....
[04:35] <pw--> thank you
[04:36] <J-n> bobertdos if you are at that window yourself, select a soundfile and click test, i tried it out myself and it's not working for me either, dont' need/want it.. but something does seem amiss
[04:36] <danbh_intrepid> Geoffrey2: ah, the critical flaw of linux.   documentation!!!!!!
[04:36] <rabiddachshund> is there a way to reserve desktop space so that maximized windows don't fill that area?
[04:36] <tehdave> Is there a reason OpenGL would break after running a "Fix X Server" under Hardy?
[04:36] <Geoffrey2> danbh_intrepid, it probably doesn't help that I'm having ubuntu auto login instead of giving me a login screen every time I start up
[04:37] <bobertdos> Scruffy00: Well , see if it works normally for you first. If it doesn't, I wonder if it might be because Evolution has issues with Pulse..........just a guess.
[04:37] <Scruffy00> J-n:  I've downloaded the python script that was on the website you sent me to.  How do I install it or get it to where it needs to be?
[04:37] <pw--> IndyGunFreak, Atheros Communications Inc. AR242x 802.11abg Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: that device is pretty easy actually, are you using 32bit or 64bit?
[04:37] <pw--> 32bit.
[04:37] <J-n> Scruffy00 i'm sorry.. i dont really know, reaching the limit of my exp here.
[04:37] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: its honestly extremely easy(i'm using it right now)
[04:38] <pw--> \o/
[04:38] <Scruffy00> bobertdos:  It doesn't play a sound for me, I want to try the python script, and if that doesn't work I have got to guess it's broke.
[04:38] <Scruffy00> J-n: that's okay, you have helped and I appreciate it.
[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> you need to install a version of madwifi made for it though.. any chance you can hook your laptop up by ethernet cable for about 10min?
[04:39] <pw--> IndyGunFreak, i can try, last time i did, though, it did not recognize the hard port either
[04:39] <Geoffrey2> back when I first installed this version, the login screen was totally screwed up, as your username and password would appear in something like 100 point text in the login window, so I set ubuntu to automatically log me in, since I'm the only one who uses this computer anyway.....
[04:39]  * pw-- wanders off to look for an ethernet cable
[04:39] <IndyGunFreak> pw--: hmm, i see
[04:39] <J-n> Scruffy00 i'm sure there is someone else with a similar prob as us, out there, i'm just too unmotivated for a real google search on the issue.. but its certainly a problem with evolution and probally not with your particular setup.. at least that's my GUESS.
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: how difficult is it to install build-essential on w/o an internet connection?.. i've never had much luck w/ it.
[04:41] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: no idea, I don't recall ever really using it
[04:41] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[04:42] <LSD|Ninja> The Atheros in my ubuntu P4 is supported OOB by madwifi in Hardy and ath5k in Intrepid so I've never had to bother with it
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: hmm,
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: that 242x one is a pain, only worked on gutsy w/ a patched madwifi... and doesn't work w/ the current version of madwifi
[04:43] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: You need ath9k for those AR242x things which I was assured will be in Intrepid on I couldn't find it last I looked...
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: yeah, i tried today for a while to get it to work... no joy
[04:43] <ender_> Are all signed integer datatypes (char, short int, int, long int, long long int) in linux, **always** stored as 2's complement?
[04:44] <danbh_intrepid> LSD|Ninja: Im using ath9k right now
[04:44] <Beck> what's the equivalent of 'mount -t cifs -o username=name,password=pass //<IP_ADDRESS>/share /mnt/a' for fstab, this doesn't work:
[04:44] <Beck> //<IP_ADDRESS>/share         /mnt/a         cifs           rw,mand,username=name,password=pass        0           0
[04:44] <danbh_intrepid> IndyGunFreak: you were trying the ath9k drivers?
[04:44] <Guest39607> IndyGunFreak, no go with the wired connection
[04:44] <LSD|Ninja> danbh_intrepid: what's the name of the module? modinfo never returned anything for any permutation of ath9k I tried
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> danbh_intrepid: i was using madwifi..
[04:45] <LSD|Ninja> madwifi doesn't support AR242x afaik, you need ath9k
[04:45] <danbh_intrepid> LSD|Ninja: sorry, I dont know how to use modinfo, or search drivers whatever
[04:45] <pw-> ah, another guy with AR242x? poor chap
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: i have a verison of madwifi that does, thats what pw- needs, but he'll need to install build essential, and i can rapidshare the file to him.
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> problem is, i don't know how to install build-essential, w/o an internet connection
[04:46] <pw-> hmm, that is a bit of a problem =\
[04:46] <IndyGunFreak> yup..
[04:46] <chubs_> IndyGunFreak, just download the deb?
[04:46] <pjotr> IndyGunFreak: build-essential dependencies g++ g++-4.2 libstdc++6-4.2-dev
[04:47] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: I was just going on what I read over at the madwifi site. I only have ath_pci/ath5k cards and don't care one way or the other how well Linux supports the one in my MacBook :P
[04:47] <IndyGunFreak> pjotr: then you ahve to tr ty to find the dependencies for everything else
[04:47] <danbh_intrepid> LSD|Ninja: http://pastebin.com/f290c50dd
[04:47] <Scruffy00> Thanks, for all the help.  I am heading to bed.  I will see if I can get this whole Evolution sound issue taken care of.
[04:47] <chubs_> the dependencies for g++ and libstdc are probably satisfied
[04:48] <LSD|Ninja> danbh_intrepid: I'll have to take another look when I get the machine built back up
[04:49] <pw-> i'll just wait for 8.10 =)
[04:50] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: it shouldn't be that hard to be truthful.
[04:50] <danbh_intrepid> LSD|Ninja: btw, that paste was just of modinfo ath9k
[04:50] <pw-> aye, but i think the 8.10 release will fit with my installation time, also, between now and the time i decide to install, i need to find a way to back up about 90 GB of stuff
[04:50] <pw-> hence my previous question about NTFS
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: i see.. wel yeah, backing up is good, but like i said earlier... i spent a couple hours trying to get that device working w/ Intrepid today, w/ no joy
[04:51] <qfhost> :-*
[04:51] <bouma> can anyone recommend a small ubuntu boot cd with clamav or someother antivirus ??
[04:51] <LSD|Ninja> IndyGunFreak: It shouldn't be hard, Atheros are usually good but between the drivers being in a state of transition (both upstream and in ubuntu) and Ubuntu being a little slow to roll out madwifi updates we're in a bit of a rough patch right now
[04:51] <pw-> hmm
[04:51] <qfhost> quit
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: i know..
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> LSD|Ninja: madwifi is not the problem, i have the version of madwifi he needs, he needs to install build-essential, and i've just never had luck installing that w/o an internet connection
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> pw-: so you've not actuallly installed Ubuntu yet on the laptop
[04:53] <chubs_> IndyGunFreak, http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential
[04:54] <lymeca> m trying to install hardy on a Macbook and it succeeded but GRUB won't work!  I'm in the live CD and am trying to finish installing GRUB, what can I do?
[04:55] <jp73107> Anyone know where i can find information about making my own init scripts?
[04:56] <jp73107> basically want my server to automatically start a command so i don't have to login and do it everytime i start the server
[04:56] <chubs_> jp73107, rc.local will do that for you
[04:56] <jp73107> yeah but i'm not sure what to put into rc.local heh
[04:56] <jp73107> just stick the command in there?
[04:57] <chubs_> yeah, depending on what it is. what is it?
[04:57] <orifice> is there a way to check the size of an unformatted drive ?
[04:57] <jp73107>       /kolab/bin/openpkg rc all start
[04:57] <jp73107> is the command
[04:57] <PDF_q> my cron tasks aren't working, I set them with crontab -e and restarted the cron with /etc/init.d/cron restart, does anyone else know what I need to do?
[04:58] <amenado> orifice-> fdisk /dev/sdx  x being the new drive, and then go through the menu
[04:58] <jp73107> starts the kolab server application so i'm guessing i just put that command above the exit 0 line?
[04:58] <orifice> I guess what I want to do is create partition that spans the whole disk from a script
[04:58] <orifice> independent of drive size
[04:58] <amenado> orifice look into using LVM
[04:58] <chubs_> jp73107, try it out
[04:59] <ender_> Are all signed integer datatypes (char, short int, int, long int, long long int) in linux, **always** stored as 2's complement?
[04:59] <orifice> I have.  This is for an automatic deployment script
[04:59] <jp73107> well that was stupid easy
[04:59] <jp73107> lol
[04:59] <orifice> I'd like to stay away from LVMs
[04:59] <jp73107> thanks chubs
[04:59] <chubs_> jp73107, you might want to make that an if statement though
[05:00] <jp73107> i think i'm going to remove it now, looks like it started twice, i guess kolab put the init script into init.d for me
[05:00] <chubs_> jp73107, haha. alright
[05:00] <amenado> orifice-> then perhaps NAS ?
[05:00] <PDF_q> anyone?
[05:00] <jp73107> and this is the case.. heh
[05:01] <ender_> what's a good irc channel on freenode for asking linux dev questions?
[05:01] <linus> Hej noobs, hur kan jag installera de skärpta förare?
[05:01] <pw-> bah, indy left =(
[05:01] <pw-> i was afk
[05:01] <ender_> Hej linus.
[05:01] <linus> network-manager är en hög med skit!
[05:01] <ender_> linus, no kidding.
[05:02] <pw-> wtf language uses a mix of cyrillic and latin characters?
[05:02] <chubs_> it's the same guy from last time, he's in illinois or something
[05:02] <LSD|Ninja> pw-: If you don't mind dual booting for 6-8 weeks you can try Intrepid out now and help get wireless working
[05:02] <pw-> i cannot help in any way, LSD|Ninja, i am better at breaking things

[05:02] <pawan> hi
[05:02] <daklan> orifice: sfdisk has a non-interactive mode
[05:02] <pawan> how to install tv tuner card
[05:02] <ender_> what's a good irc channel on freenode for asking linux dev questions?
[05:03]  * ender_ pleads on one knee
[05:03] <linus> ender_: ##Linux ;)
[05:03] <tehdave> Is there a way to fix OpenGL if it's stopped working properly?
[05:03] <pawan> how to scan for hardware changes
[05:03] <linus> pawan: open the case and look for new hardware
[05:03] <ender_> danka
[05:04] <pawan> how
[05:04] <tehdave> It seems to be working via Compiz-fusion, but when I try to run Wine, it gives an error saying "direct3d needs Opengl"
[05:04] <daklan> linus: best answer i ever heard tonight :)
[05:04] <pawan> i have pluged in tv tuner card
[05:04] <pawan> now how to install it
[05:04] <tehdave> pawan: lspci
[05:04] <tehdave> should show the new card in a line
[05:04] <linus> pawan: cd /usr/src/linux/Documentation ya
[05:04] <crdlb> tehdave: what video card?
[05:05] <tehdave> crdlb, Nvidia Geforce 8800
[05:05] <pawan> pixel view
[05:05] <crdlb> tehdave: "glxinfo | grep direct" ?
[05:05] <pawan> it is not showing
[05:05] <tehdave> "Direct Rendering: NO"
[05:06] <tehdave> where do I go to set the flag it's telling me about?
[05:06] <crdlb> tehdave: how about "xvinfo | grep -i xgl" ?
[05:07] <tehdave> crdlib: "Adaptor #0: "Xgl Generic Texture Video"
[05:07] <pawan> now
[05:08] <hacked_kernel> how to know the environment variables of a process?
[05:08] <PDF_q> does anyone know about cron tasks?
[05:08] <crdlb> tehdave: uninstall xserver-xgl; you don't need it. Wine tests for 3d acceleration by checking for direct rendering which Xgl does not provide to apps (wine is broken in this respect, but that's another story)
[05:08] <tehdave> crdlib: ah
[05:09] <crdlb> your next session will not use Xgl

[05:29] <remitaylor> i've installed a .deb which overwrites a library on my machine (fixes a bug in the library) and it makes apt really angry - apt marks packages that depend on the library as broken and it wants to overwrite my bugfix.  does anyone know howto fix this / keep it from happening?  i haven't gotten a 'hold' or pinning to work.
[05:29] <cgentry72> i'm having problems with flash/firefox how can i fix this
[05:30] <Invert314> why is there no mesa deb on getdeb.com?

[05:47] <kapace> is there a way to make gnome-term fullscreen?
[05:47] <Cpudan80> kapace: You can set it so that certain programs (ie. vim) display for "dark backgrounds"
[05:47] <Cpudan80> kapace: yes - with the window active hit F11
[05:47] <kapace> ok
[05:48] <Cpudan80> its not the best fullscreen
[05:48] <Cpudan80> but it is fullscreen
[05:48] <Cpudan80> you can achieve the same effect by just maximizing the window
[05:48] <kapace> yes, cool enough

[05:53] <oliveira> ok
[05:53] <oliveira> thanks
[05:53] <izinucs> np :)
[05:54] <yaro> try to run it from the terminal, I get the following: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47080/
[05:54] <damo> ( Operating System ) Linux Ubuntu 8.04 - hardy Kernel: 2.6.24-19-generic, GNU/Linux | Xorg: <IP_ADDRESS> | Desktop: KDE: 3.5.9GNOME 2.22.2 | IRC CLient: X-Chat v.2.8.4
[05:54] <marshall> hey guys
[05:55] <TopBunny88> whats up marshall ?
[05:55] <Daft_Punk> whats up
[05:55] <Agrajag-> so if i've got a wired connection and i want to share that wired connection over wireless (so i'd be an access point), does NetworkManager support doing this?
[05:55] <marshall> ive installed ATI proprietary drivers on my hardy system and id like to go back to the old open source drivers. how do i uninstall the proprietary ones?
[05:55] <kapace> daft punk is here!! wooo!
[05:55] <yaro> Any ideas on how I can get alsamixer working? Kinda need it to get my rescording on Audacity.
[05:55] <soltek> Hello, I'm a newbie and would like to know what are considered to be executable files on a Linux system. I'm trying Ubuntu.
[05:55] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, you need a wireless access point module or wireless hub or router to broadcast the signal, your computer can't do that
[05:56] <Daft_Punk> soltek, .deb files are executable, but anything you can and need to install is in the add/remove programs section under applications
[05:56] <damo> exacly what i have
[05:56] <damo> :P
[05:56] <Agrajag-> Daft_Punk: ah right ok ta
[05:56] <Daft_Punk> soltek, some applications may not be installable until you have the correct repositories added
[05:56] <remitaylor> remitaylor: in response to my own question (for the log) ... i should re-package the deb with an incremented version number and then apt shouldn't complain anymore (props to #debian for helping out, altho they were very mean to me because i'm using ubuntu, not debian).  apt is auto-upgrading my package because the version number isn't higher than the current one.
[05:56] <Agrajag-> what does "Create new wireless network" in networkmanager actually do? I can't seem to find networkmanager documentation
[05:57] <izinucs> soltek, in my limited understanding linux is a text based system so a text file could be executable. so can .jar files .. .deb ... .bin..  .sh   etc.. it's not as clear cut as widows when it comes to executibles
[05:57] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, if you can't find your network through broadcasting, (IE your ssid is silent) then you can manually add the wireless network information in (if you know your ssid and key)
[05:57] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, you have to have a wireless router and you have to set up your wireless network (instructions come with the wireless router)
[05:57] <yaro> No one knows what I can do to fix alsamixer?
[05:58] <soltek> Thanks, I guess that about covers it.
[05:59] <Daft_Punk> yaro, sorry...
[05:59] <Daft_Punk> yaro, just keep asking your question every couple of minutes (dont screen flood) and someone should be able to help you
[05:59] <delfick> hello, does anyone know how I'd go about making a link to a folder using the commandline ?? "ln -s testFolder destinationFolder" makes a link but it say it's broken .....
[05:59] <Agrajag-> Daft_Punk: i don't think what you said is correct. if it is, what's the difference between "Connect to other wireless network" and "Create New Wireless Network"?
[06:00] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, I know what I said is correct, a computer can NOT broadcast wireless signals, you must purchase a wireless router
[06:01] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, if you have a wireless network you can broadcast the ssid or keep it hidden. if it is broadcasted you can search for ssid and connect to other wireless network. if your ssid is hidden you must enter in the ssid and key manually hence "create new wireless network"
[06:01] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[06:01] <Cpudan80> I'm having a problem with rhythmbox
[06:01] <Cpudan80> it keeps finding duplicates of all my music
[06:01] <Daft_Punk> !ask Cpudan80
[06:01] <Daft_Punk> darn
[06:01] <Cpudan80> Like /home/debrac/music is a symlink over to my external
[06:01] <LSD|Ninja> hidden SSIDs aren't secure and they create more problems than they solve so meh
[06:01] <Agrajag-> Daft_Punk: that's what the "Connect to other wireless network" option is for. the "Create New Wireless Network" clearly does something else.
[06:02] <Cpudan80> It worked fine before..... any ideas why it might have stopped working?
[06:02] <Daft_Punk> LSD|Ninja, true... but im just trying to explain to Agrajag that "create new wireless network" under network manager does not mean your computer can turn itself into a router and start broadcasting wireless signals
[06:02] <yaro> I ask again: I can't get alsamixer to run. My console output can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47080/
[06:02] <Daft_Punk> Agrajag, I gave you an answer, if you don't want to listen, that's up to you...
[06:02] <jrgp> !ops
[06:02] <Agrajag-> Daft_Punk: your answer is incorrect.
[06:03] <jrgp> hmf
[06:03] <Flannel> jrgp: yes?
[06:03] <jrgp> just wondering what that command did
[06:03] <jrgp> no problems
[06:03] <Madpilot> jrgp, was there a good reason for that?
[06:03] <cwgannon> aloha.  i've noticed a delay in click response time and tooltip display time now that i've plugged in a second monitor?  any ideas what could be causing this would be appreciated
[06:03] <Daft_Punk> hah wow
[06:03] <jrgp> sorry for calling it for no reason
[06:03] <Madpilot> Ah, No,.
[06:03] <Realcoolguy> Agrajag: there is an adhock mode that may or may not be supported, and is what you should be looking into for making your laptop an access point (you both have to bridge your wired connection and supply your adhock connection)
[06:03] <jrgp> apparentkly not
[06:03] <Flannel> jrgp: please don't do that.  Try commands out in queries
[06:03] <Oxygenfa1> hey guys. I got this really sweet dock theme going on right now for ubuntu. I want to get rid of my top panel (no hide, just get rid of it) but have it so that I can right click. Kind of like flux box
[06:04] <chubs_> Oxygenfa1, install fluxbox?
[06:04] <Oxygenfa1> I still want the program list etc, I just want to have that come up as if I were using flux box. By right clicking
[06:04] <ubunt2> can anyone tell me how to have an audio file (.asx) launch upon login?
[06:04] <JW> Hello
[06:04] <Oxygenfa1> Well my compiz and dock wont work right ?
[06:04] <Oxygenfa1> Cause thats gnome
[06:04] <Daft_Punk> Oxygenfa1, you can change the program list etc... to a single icon instead of "applications, places, system"
[06:05] <JW> Is there a guide that can show me how to setup an Ubuntu ShoutCAST server please?
[06:05] <chubs_> Oxygenfa1, you can get docks for flux, compiz not so sure about but i think there is some sort of compositing
[06:05] <Daft_Punk> Oxygenfa1, and you can have the start menu "icon" mounted as a desklet, just floating on your desk
[06:05] <Flannel> JW: icecast is the alternative in the repos
[06:05] <Oxygenfa1> How sir ?
[06:05] <chubs_> Oxygenfa1, not sure about the right click menu in gnome though
[06:05] <Oxygenfa1> thx chubs
[06:05] <Daft_Punk> Oxygenfa1, did you want to do it that way?
[06:05] <yaro> I ask again: I can't get alsamixer to run. My console output can be found here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/47080/
[06:05] <Oxygenfa1> Ill try it
[06:06] <phpcurious> hi, I have a problem with my ubuntu. I am not sure if it has something to do with the network, coz i can't connect. but I can do chat right here.

[06:06] <ubunt2> can anyone tell me how to have an audio file (.asx) launch upon login?

[06:18] <yaro> droopsta: Perhaps you could tell me specifically what program fails to have the window decorations (Toolbar)?
[06:18] <fatjedi> fail
[06:18] <Myrtti> !patience | fatjedi
[06:18] <JW> how can i make a empty file in the terminal?
[06:18] <Myrtti> JW: touch <filename>
[06:18] <JW> Thanks
[06:18] <droopsta915> cisco,netacad
[06:18] <jdd> yaro: do you have pulseaudio installed?
[06:18] <chubs_> JW, touch can also be used to timestamp an existing program
[06:19] <yaro> JDD: Yes, as part of the default Hardy install.
[06:19] <droopsta915> jdd: are u trying to record something?
[06:19] <chubs_> s/program/file
[06:19] <oliveira> the sound recorder is not working properly, it always crash when I press the record button, is there a way to repair it?
[06:19] <ganesh> can any one help me with gnome login problem?
[06:19] <fatjedi> fail
[06:19] <jdd> droopsta915: no, I'm trying to unbork my machine.
[06:19] <yaro> Droopsta: I'm not familiar with that program...
[06:19] <droopsta915> k, thanx ill keep trying
[06:20] <jdd> yaro: are you 64 bit?
[06:20] <yaro> JDD: Yes, I am.
[06:20] <JW> I am trying to change the permission of a file does this look right? "su chmod 777 stats.log"
[06:20] <jdd> yaro: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-plugins/+bug/182731 :(
[06:21] <yaro> JDD: That package might fix my problem?
[06:21] <jdd> yaro: nevermind, I misread the package-name in that, sorry.
[06:21] <wariskampar> can anyone help me with this message in terminal
[06:21] <wariskampar> http://paste.ubuntu.com/47082/
[06:21] <Loco_Igvan> good night people..
[06:22] <yaro> Wariskampar: Don't worry about it.
[06:22] <maxtor211> How do I change the logo by Applications>
[06:22] <jdd> yaro: actually, nevermind the nevermind. If you read through the messages on that bug report, it looks like that _is_ your problem, and it's probably not fixable right now.
[06:22] <wariskampar> yaro: do i need to do anything
[06:23] <yaro> Wariskampar: It is merely saying in the next version of the Murrine GTK+ engine, that feature will no longer be there and the developers of the theme need to drop it. And no, you just ignore it. :P
[06:23] <wariskampar> ok..thanks
[06:23] <yaro> Wariskampar: You're welcome.
[06:23] <jdd> yaro: maybe uninstall alsa and install it from source?
[06:23] <Cavalry> can't get CSS working in wine... keeps crashing about 10-20 seconds into the game (when i join a server)
[06:24] <Flannel> Cavalry: try #winehq
[06:24] <yaro> JDD: :X That scares me. Usually whenever I fiddle too much with sound I break it ocmpletely and all Ireally can't do is get recordings working in Audacity and the alsamixer doesn't run.
[06:25] <yaro> JDD: I think it might be something *I* did, seeing as my sister has 62-bit hardy with PulseAudio and she can run alsamixer fine.
[06:25] <yaro> 64*
[06:25] <JW> whats the command to give access of a folder to a user?
[06:25] <JW> folder and supfolder
[06:25] <chubs_> yaro, I was going to say those 2 bits might be the issue ;)
[06:25] <Rat409> JW: chown
[06:25] <yaro> jw: You can either chown it to the user or chmod its permissions.
[06:26] <Rat409> yup
[06:26] <chubs_> JW, chown -r
[06:26] <chubs_> for recursiveness (subfolders)
[06:27] <jdd> yaro: I don't know enough about running ubuntu on 64 bit to know if that would even solve your problems. I doubt that your sister being able to run it necessarily means that you can, unless you have the same sound card as her.
[06:27] <yaro> JDD: Her computer is basically a souped up version of mine, most our hardware is identical.
[06:27] <dmitriy> Дарова челы есть кто-нить знающий русский
[06:27] <jdd> yaro: I'm stumped then.
[06:27] <yaro> JDD: No matter. I'm not desperate to record anything. ;)
[06:28] <chubs_> dmitriy, english here
[06:28] <RadishRabbit1> I use Ubuntu with GNOME
[06:28] <Rat409> !ru | dmitriy
[06:28] <RadishRabbit1> and sometimes, sometimes i can't type into textbox
[06:28] <RadishRabbit1> but using the mouse "cut" "paste" works
[06:29] <Eddwin> how can i install a Dual monitor using the ATI Radeon card
[06:29] <Eddwin> i got 5 hours using Linux
[06:29] <chubs_> RadishRabbit1, more information may help us out. a specific program for example, and any idea when these sometimes are
[06:30] <jdd> Oh, I think I may have figured out my problem. Anyone know how to regenerate the /dev directory on the fly?
[06:30] <jdd>
[06:30] <Rat409> !ati | Eddwin
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> Texmaker
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> when i try to save a file
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> typing has no response
[06:30] <Emmett> Does anyone know how to limit sudo by IP?
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> also matlab
[06:30] <Emmett> for example, 'allow this user to run commands as root, but only from this IP?'
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> but if i start clicking around
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> then back to command window
[06:30] <RadishRabbit1> it might work
[06:30] <yaro> There is one annoyance I'd love to clear out. Sometimes when playing videos, either from DVDs or locally from the hard disk, sometimes GNOME completely stops, except for sound, for maybe 10 seconds, then starts up again.
[06:31] <jdd> Emmett: I don't know if you can or not but it should be in "man sudoers" if you can. You can definately limit it by user.
[06:31] <rubydiamond> How do I see installed fonts in ubuntu?
[06:32] <Eddwin> got this  ATI Technologies Inc RV505 [Radeon X1550 64-b

[06:32] <yaro> rubydiamond: fonts:// in nautilus... I think.

[06:37] <Wicked> hello all. i cant seem to connect my phone to my computer so i can get things off of it. any ideas?

[06:38] <spx2> how much can one make with google ads,I mean how much per ad ?
[06:38] <Flannel> spx2: #ubuntu-offtopic for non-support questions, thanks.
[06:38] <jdd> btw, if anyone runs into the same problem i did, "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" will regenerate the /dev directory.
[06:38] <surgy> cpudan do you have a torrent of the latest kubuntu dvd image?

[06:48] <WIGGMPk> does Medibuntu have its own channel?
[06:48] <parker> 想问下
[06:49] <Geekthras> Well Ubuntu (Xubuntu in fact, though that should make no difference) froze up recently and upon startup dropped to a grub shell of some kind. Poking around, I found it referencing /ubuntu/disks/something, so I booted up Windows and checked this mythical C:/ubuntu/disks/whatever when - lo and behold - I found it was corrupted and unreadable. Do I basically get to reinstall ubuntu? Or is there...
[06:49] <Geekthras> ...any way at all to fix this?
[06:49] <parker> 装上UBUNTU后没有声音
[06:49] <parker> 声音显示是好的
[06:49] <Flannel> !cn | parker
[06:50] <Geekthras> (reinstalling ubuntu's not a big issue for me, just the data would be nice)
[06:52] <Flannel> Geekthras: You're using wubi?
[06:52] <Geekthras> Yes
[06:52] <koshar1> Geekthras can you run fsck
[06:52] <afallenhope> anyone know how to sync an iPod touch? I have music synced.. just want vids
[06:52] <koshar1> Geekthras sorry i missed the wubi bit
[06:54] <wgato> mpd has a bunch of features i need disabled and i was told to install the needed dependancies.  how do i find out what ones i need?
[06:54] <Flannel> Geekthras: I'm not sure there is any way to fix it, no.  You could try using windows and running checkdisk, or whatever.  See if it can fix it.
[06:54] <Geekthras> bah now I need to figure out how chkdsk works
[06:55] <ensi> hi, im trying to modprobe ndiswrapper.ko, but modprobe just says that the module is not found but it in fact is located in modules/midsc
[06:55] <ensi> modules/misc even
[06:56] <wgato> rephrase: mpd listed some options that i need as disabled.  how do i fiure out what dependancies i need to install to enable the options?
[06:56] <ensi> any ideas=
[06:59] <negge> htop is telling me that the CPU is running at 100% but I can't find any process that uses that much. How do I find out?

[07:07] <waan> Does anybody else have display problems with Amaya?
[07:08] <Aperson> I'm very intrigues by linux/unbuntu, but I'm still running windows. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm pretty new at this, but I would like if someone could explain some stuff for me?! thanks!
[07:08] <dunas> Aperson: What do you want to know?
[07:08] <Aperson> Where should I start off? I'm taking an operating systems class now in school, but I want to do some stuff at-home
[07:09] <Aperson> Looking to get linux installed as a start and then getting my programs to work on the OS.
[07:09] <waan> Aperson, ubuntu.com has all the info you'll need to get going with ubuntu
[07:09] <dunas> Well, Ubuntu is definitely a good place to start. Have you checked the website?
[07:09] <Aperson> I'm doing that now
[07:09] <Flannel> Aperson: Best way to get questions answered is to ask them.  https://help.ubuntu.com/ has a good rundown, for how to install: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation  first four steps on that page
[07:09] <mesh_> Anyone know offhand the path for azureus/azureus plugins???
[07:09] <waan> Aperson, you just need to download ubuntu, burn it to cd and pop it in
[07:10] <ganesh>  can any one help me with gnome session problem?
[07:10] <Aperson> Cool cool, i've heard about using Whine to play games, it is easy to do?
[07:10] <Aperson> Theoretically I can get most of my 'main' programs/games to run on the OS?
[07:10] <dunas> Well, first, it's 'wine'- and it depends on the game.
[07:10] <Aperson> Oh, sorry.
[07:10] <dstrbdfrk> can someone tall me how to install a pidgin screenlet
[07:10] <dstrbdfrk> or rather how to extrct the screenlet file to this location b/c i cant find it
[07:10] <dstrbdfrk>  ~/.screenlets/Pidgin/themes
[07:11] <Flannel> Aperson: Like what?
[07:11] <dunas> It's alright, no harm. A good place to get info on wine is http://www.winehq.org/
[07:11] <Aperson> I'm going to assume WoW runs on Linus, but what about STEAM games?
[07:11] <Aperson> linux*
[07:11] <dunas> I've been running Counter-Strike Source and Team Fortress 2 just fine through wine.
[07:11] <Aperson> Oh cool, I play CS1.6
[07:11] <dunas> Should work.
[07:12] <mrynit_> for some reason my wifi is no longer working in 8.04. I put in my 8.04 install CD and wifi works fine with it
[07:12] <Aperson> Thanks for the links. I feel rather lazy, but I wasn't sure if I should start with unbuntu and wanted to make sure I was reading the RIGHT stuff.
[07:12] <dunas> Aperson: The best advice I can actually give you if you're going to start using linux is twofold. First, don't be afraid to ask questions, and second, be ready to learn- it's not Windows. :)
[07:13] <dunas> And just as a general rule for anything, but especially this: Google is your best friend.
[07:14] <Aperson> Yea definitely.
[07:14] <Aperson> I looked around and it seems unbuntu would be a good start, just wanted a little confirmation :)
[07:14] <Flannel> Aperson: check help.ubuntu.com/community/ before googling though.
[07:14] <hotmonkeyluv> can I have an ati and an nVidia card on the same system? (and have them both work)
[07:14] <Geekthras> dear anyone who remembers the por-blom I have: I can't fsck, because the grub shell is extremely limited, but I can chkdsk
[07:15] <Aperson> I'm running windows now, should I bother installing two OS' or should I just del windows and install a fresh copy of linux?
[07:15] <Flannel> Aperson: dualbooting works fine.
[07:15] <Flannel> !dualboot | Aperson
[07:15] <Aperson> Awesome
[07:16] <Geekthras> Aperson: keey windows running, in case what happened to me happens to you
[07:16] <ganesh> can any one help me with gnome session problem?

[07:26] <abngal> ykphuah: my desktop effects does not work now
[07:27] <Mr_Fixit> it's the processes tab abngal
[07:27] <Mr_Fixit> but be careful cuz you have to know what you are killing
[07:28] <Mr_Fixit> anyone know about how to get Avant running?
[07:28] <abngal> mr_fixit: I don't see all devices in my laptop and some devices present seem to have no link to the drivers it is using
[07:28] <Geekthras> With wubi, where does it keep all your files?
[07:29] <ykphuah> JW: you need this -> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[07:29] <ykphuah> jw: that gives you more control over compiz
[07:29] <Mr_Fixit> sorry abngal that's outta my grasp..

[07:33] <maxtor211> Yeah for some odd reason it wouldn't let me download it
[07:33] <ykphuah> JW: what package is that?
[07:33] <maxtor211> Thanks koshar I appreciate it

[07:34] <JW> When I type in the command "./file.sh" it tells me "bad interpreter: Text file busy"
[07:34] <maxtor211> weird koshar its not working
[07:34] <maxtor211> thats super weird
[07:35] <koshar1> JW  a sh file is a script
[07:35] <ykphuah> JW: what is the package that you are trying to install?
[07:35] <P1ro> hi, i got a intel video, and widescreen laptop resolution (1820x800), but my laptop only getting 1024x768, anyone have got anything like that ?
[07:35] <rebel_kid> !cups
[07:35] <igos> hi all
[07:35] <JW> ykphuah, crossover
[07:35] <koshar1> P1ro i would be looking at xorg and an edid
[07:36] <maxtor211> Super weird koshar
[07:36] <maxtor211> :(
[07:36] <ykphuah> JW: is that for MAC only?
[07:36] <JW> No
[07:36] <dunas> Argh, can't remember where the blacklisted module list is
[07:36] <jvargas> hi
[07:36] <dunas> Need to check and see if a specific driver is there
[07:36] <Rynol> Ergh. Figures with such a huge room.
[07:36] <jvargas> how can i flush ubuntu's dns cache if I do not have nscd?
[07:37] <jvargas> i can perform a "dig myhost" and it says the correct IP, but a "ping myhost" uses old IP.
[07:37] <ykphuah> JW: have you searched for the software using synaptics? installing a package using .sh file is the last resort.
[07:38] <ykphuah> JW: I think you can try WINE first... look for that in the synaptics.
[07:39] <P1ro> koshar1, where its locate te xorg.conf ?
[07:39] <koshar1> P1ro /etc/X11
[07:40] <Saruto> Hi
[07:40] <koshar1> P1ro if sometimes xorg dont get an edid it will criple the output to protect the screen
[07:40] <Saruto> How can I open a port beyond 1024 for a non root application?
[07:41] <P1ro> koshar1, well i just install ubuntu
[07:41] <P1ro> and my screen es weird
[07:41] <koshar1> P1ro ok, , or you may need to install other video drivers , ie intel ones.
[07:41] <Prophetu> Flannel : yes , looks like that
[07:42]  * Rynol reiterates. Recent Hardy install. Menubar locks up. Sound dies. Usually associated with just after closing some programs and opening new ones. What's with that?
[07:42] <P1ro> koshar1, i have loaded the intel module
[07:42] <ganesh> can any one help me with uninstalling wine and other packages installed on wine completely?
[07:42] <P1ro> koshar1, lastest version of ubuntu too
[07:42] <Flannel> ganesh: sudo apt-get remove --purge wine && rm -r ~/.wine
[07:43] <Flannel> ganesh: (basically, remove the package, and delete your ~/.wine folder)
[07:44] <Flannel> Prophetu: Did that bugreport have a workaround?  Otherwise, unfortunately it seems you'll just have to wait for a fix
[07:44] <P1ro> well i dont see anything weird on xorg.conf
[07:44] <Prophetu> Flannel : look here , i paste all the error : http://paste.ubuntu.com/47089/
[07:45] <ganesh>  Flannel:ya i did it.. still i can see wine on application
[07:45] <Flannel> ganesh: Right, You'll ahve to manually edit your menus and remove those
[07:46] <davetarmac> anyone here know a good web development environment for 8.04 using GNOME? I've tried Aptana/Eclipse and other derivitives but  keep getting Java errors (at least, they look like Java errors). Ideally I'd like one that plays nicely in GNOME and supports PHP
[07:46] <ganesh> Flannel:how do i do that?
[07:46] <dunas> Argh, Ubuntu won't play nice with this laptop...
[07:46] <Flannel> ganesh: There's an "edit menu" (or something like it) entry somewhere in the menus
[07:47] <koshar1> P1ro precisely what chipset is it?
[07:47] <Silen7> connect irc.freenode.net 6667
[07:47] <dunas> I forgot the command to see loaded modules and the command to see internet devices
[07:47] <LurkersA> ganesh: right click on 'Applications', and select "Edit Menu"
[07:47] <dunas> Can someone lend me a hand?
[07:47] <ykphuah> ganesh: I think all applications that you install using wine goes into ~/.wine
[07:47] <ykphuah> ganesh: if you want to remove everything, just remove that directory.
[07:47] <Rynol> I request help in resolving a menubar lockup bug. Is anyone willing... to help...
[07:48] <LurkersA> Rynol: Can you be a little more descriptive? People are more likely to respond if there is some idea of why the problem is occuring
[07:49] <Rynol> Okay, okay. I just figured I needed someone's attention before I could go into details, lest it be seen as spammy.
[07:50] <Rynol> Anyway, basically... after running for an hour or so, more if I don't close or open new programs that often, either...
[07:50] <Rynol> A) the sound dies completely.
[07:50] <LurkersA> Rynol: Sound can be fixed by typing 'sudo alsa force-reload' into a terminal
[07:50] <LurkersA> Rynol: Something to do with flash I believe
[07:50] <ykphuah> Rynol: nobody will give you attention unless you give more details. :)
[07:50] <Rynol> B - and more often) the top menubar completely locks, as does any keycombo or similar to trigger the things accessible from it - like how I can tap power lightly to open the shutdown.
[07:50] <Rynol> Sorry!
[07:51] <Rynol> Huge channels intimidate me.
[07:51] <Rynol> I'm used to 20 people tops.
[07:51] <Rynol> But thanks for the sound, I'll try that next time it happens.
[07:51] <ykphuah> Rynol: my sound locks too when I go to youtube using firefox, I have to quit my firefox to get sound back.
[07:51] <falstaff> I want to use yahoo instant messenger ... can I do it using wine??
[07:51] <LurkersA> Rynol: Is it a laptop? If so, it could be trying to hibernate or something, causing the bar to lockup
[07:51] <Rynol> Laptop, but...
[07:52] <Rynol> ...It happens usually after closing a program.
[07:52] <Rynol> Not after being left alone.
[07:52] <ykphuah> falstaff: pidgin not serving your needs?
[07:52] <Rynol> So I doubt it's hibernation attempt.
[07:52] <LurkersA> ykphuah: Rynol: Sound issue is linked to the flash player, typing 'sudo alsa force-reload' into a terminal fixes it
[07:52] <ykphuah> LurkersA: will that take sound away from my firefox?
[07:52] <Rynol> What about the bar?
[07:53] <ykphuah> LurkersA: i mean, from flash content inside my firefox?
[07:53] <falstaff> ykphuah, pidgin is good but I like the sound yahoo messenger a little better.
[07:53] <ganesh> LurkersA:ykphuah:Flannel: can you help me with gnome login problem? problem is i can hear login sound but it return back to login window..i am in failsafe now
[07:53] <ykphuah> falstaff: well, I guess you can try installing it with wine.
[07:53] <unimatrix9> any one that has the eeebox pc? ( not the notebook but the desktop )
[07:53] <ykphuah> falstaff: I assume you have installed wine? just download the installer, and then run "wine <installer>.exe"
[07:54] <jussi01> there is a yahoo messenger for linux iirc
[07:54] <ykphuah> the yahoo messenger for linux is very outdated.
[07:54] <falstaff> ykphuah, thank you I figured it would be that simple.
[07:55] <unimatrix9> cant pidgin do yahoo messenger?
[07:55] <unimatrix9> !pidgin
[07:55] <ykphuah> ganesh: try logging in using the terminal, ctrl-alt-f7, then login from there.
[07:55] <unimatrix9> any one that has the eeebox pc? ( not the notebook but the desktop )
[07:56] <abngal> hi again everyone. Is there a way to disable password prompt for admin tasks?
[07:56] <unimatrix9> run as root? but thats not wise
[07:56] <oobe> ykphuah, wouldnt that be ctrl alt f1
[07:56] <ykphuah> oobe: lol, I don't remember, I thought its f7? :)
[07:57] <ganesh> ykphuah: ya even i can login through failsafe..what after that?
[07:57] <abngal> unimatrix: no other way?
[07:57] <oobe> f7 is x
[07:57] <unimatrix9> dont think so..
[07:57] <ykphuah> ganesh: the point of trying to login using a normal boot is to see whether you get any error message.
[07:58] <abngal> we just want to try ubuntu for now. we don't need any form of security
[07:58] <ganesh> ykphuah:ya i ll be back..
[07:58] <oobe> !compiz | hardcore
[07:58] <ykphuah> abngal: lookup "NOPASSWD" in sudoers man page.
[07:58] <ykphuah> abngal: or NOPASS
[07:59] <Ectomorph> ectomorph
[07:59] <unimatrix9> ah, linux you can alway's change things
[07:59] <unimatrix9> :)
[07:59] <LurkersA> ykphuah: (i mean, from flash content inside my firefox?) Yes
[07:59] <Ectomorph> help ! I'm getting user is not in the sudoers file :(
[07:59] <LurkersA> Rynol: Not sure about the bar sorry
[08:00] <favro> Ectomorph: what is the command you're running?
[08:00] <ykphuah> LurkersA: so once I do the reload thing, my flash-in-firefox will have no more sound? lol I will rather keep the sound in firefox than those in the system.
[08:00] <Ectomorph> i've installed svn but dont have write access to the dirs, i'm a newbie
[08:01] <Rynol> Ah, okay then.
[08:01] <LurkersA> ykphuah: No, the command resets the sound in Ubuntu as a whole, It fixes both.
[08:01] <ion-> can someone help me get KDX(http://www.haxial.com/products/kdx/index2.html) working? The linux x86 version is a .zip and contains a .lexe file that will not load
[08:03] <JW> Whoa, how do I find my LAN IP in Ubuntu?
[08:04] <unimatrix9> open gnome terminal and type ifconfig
[08:04] <unimatrix9> hit enter
[08:04] <dunas> When I attempt to log out, shut down, or restart using any of the standard methods in Ubuntu 8.04, the desktop environment locks up- I can still interact with the open window, but otherwise, nothing. I then have to shut down my computer by holding in the power button.
[08:04] <maxtor211> Where can I download a new set of my Human Icons
[08:04] <maxtor211> I messed them all up
[08:04] <maxtor211> Or how do I restore them
[08:04] <JW> I am wanting my ip to be specific, how do I do this?
[08:05] <maxtor211> PayPal if solved
[08:05] <unimatrix9> gnome-look.org
[08:05] <unimatrix9> or gnome art work , google
[08:05] <maxtor211> I can download the default Human icons again:?
[08:05] <JW> I get Paypal if I resolve your issue? O_0
[08:05] <favro> maxtor211: sudo apt-get --reinstall install human-theme
[08:05] <unimatrix9> right
[08:06] <LurkersA> JW: You want to set up a static IP?
[08:06] <JW> Yes
[08:06] <JW> a static LAN ip
[08:06] <ion-> Is there a better program to run .lexe files than autorun?
[08:06] <maxtor211> invalid operation
[08:06] <maxtor211> human-theme
[08:07] <koshar1> maxtor211 you can prollt remove and replace them in synaptic
[08:07] <LurkersA> JW, go System | Administration | Network
[08:07] <LurkersA> JW:, Unlock it by clicking the 'Unlock' button and type your password
[08:07] <JW> when I manually configure my wired connection and set it to static ip address I lose my connection though, I'm pretty sure I am using the right subnet's and LAN ips
[08:07] <DIFH-iceroot> if i make (later) an upgrade from 8.04.1 to 8.10 have i still LTS? or is this just for 8.04?
[08:07] <LurkersA> JW, is your router configured to allow static IP?
[08:08] <nateeee> LOL, what luck. here i am fresh as can be to the OS and not able to connect to the net and people are already talking about it
[08:08] <nateeee> :P
[08:08] <karayan> DIFH-iceroot, LTS is only for 8.04
[08:08] <DIFH-iceroot> karayan: thx
[08:08] <unimatrix9>  /join #ubuntu-nl
[08:08] <MrSoundless> hey all could someone help me to set permissions on my main harddrive? it's an ntfs filesystem and I don't have permissions at all
[08:08] <JW> LurkersA, I'm thinking it should be, in Windows XP all I have to do is edit the TCP/IP setings and enter my desired static LAN IP
[08:09] <LurkersA> nateeee: Whats the problem with your internet? Any idea why you can't connect?
[08:09] <nateeee> i assume that it should be as simple as throwing all my network info into the network setup and it should work... i assume
[08:09] <nateeee> haven't done a single thing beyond install
[08:09] <LurkersA> JW: Ok, have you specified a DNS address?
[08:09] <JW> LurkersA Yes
[08:09] <abngal> I'm getting frustrated and depressed learning ubuntu - though I won't stop. There are many settings that are hard to change. Even going through user authentication controls to disable prompt for admin password leaves me clueless. I can't even view my hardware devices and the drivers they are using. :( I guess I really have lot to learn
[08:09] <LurkersA> nateeee: Dialup, or DSL/Broadband?
[08:09] <DIFH-iceroot> i have a FAKE-Raid1 System, the ubuntu installer only detects sda and sdb, not my fakeraid-arrays, what can i do to install ubuntu on a fake-raid-1 system?
[08:10] <LurkersA> JW: Other than <IP_ADDRESS>? IE, your ISP supplied Addresses?
[08:10] <nateeee> LA: broadband
[08:11] <JW> LurkersA, My gateway's address isnt that
[08:11] <JW> LurkersA, the router's ip is set in the "DNS tab in Network settings
[08:11] <LurkersA> nateeee: When you get to your desktop, goto System | Administration | Network. Select Wired Network, and click properties
[08:12] <nateeee> LA: and set everything up manually? ip, dns, what not?
[08:12] <ace_suares> hi there
[08:12] <ace_suares> !kiosk
[08:12] <LurkersA> JW: That is your Gateway, not your DNS. That might be the problem.
[08:12] <LurkersA> nateeee: Yes.
[08:12] <nateeee> LA: or should i be able to set just the dns and let the ip go automatic?
[08:12] <JW> LurkersA, wheres my DNS then? :O
[08:12] <ace_suares> anyone knwo about a good kiosk software for ubuntu, that also limits the time they can be logged in ?
[08:13] <DIFH-iceroot> ace_suares: what is a kiosk software?
[08:14] <LurkersA> JW, try using the openDNS addresses that are: <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> in the DNS tab, and under Connections, Wired connection, enter the routers IP under 'Gateway'
[08:14] <LurkersA> nateeee: Adding your DNS should be fine for now
[08:14] <Prophetu> LurkersA : can i ask you something ?
[08:14] <LurkersA> Prophetu: Go for it
[08:15] <ace_suares> DIFH-iceroot: it's like when you wnat an internet cafe and want people to be able to do only certain things
[08:15] <Prophetu> LurkersA : can you help me pls with a problem ? here is the error i get : http://paste.ubuntu.com/47089/
[08:15] <nateeee> OK, thank you. and i shall give that a shot. I figured that's all it was but wanted to ask before grabbing the OpenDNS addy's and texting them to myself lol :P
[08:16] <nateeee> as i am using a dual boot setup
[08:16] <nateeee> any ways, off i go
[08:16] <LurkersA> nateeee: Good luck
[08:16] <ikt> should I run anti-virus on my apple mac?
[08:16] <LurkersA> Prophetu: Sorry mate, I am not sure what could be causing that
[08:17] <Prophetu> ok :|

[08:21] <vikku> hateball: ubottu : ok
[08:21] <Prophetu> favro : the same thing :/
[08:22] <docteh> no its a remote computer

[08:22] <Prophetu> favro : i already try this
[08:22] <favro> k

[08:24] <DIFH-iceroot> Ob1Kn00b: sudo or chmod
[08:25] <favro> Prophetu: next i would try   sudo apt-get --reinstall install hal   maybe...

[08:59] <jim_p> bakarat: what is your ethernet card?
[08:59] <jim_p> bakarat: probably a missing or not loaded module
[08:59] <nnull> jim_p, what would happen if you specified a user and that user was not a user on the system?
[08:59] <bakarat> jim_p, how can i check which network card i have? i don't know by heart :p
[09:00] <jim_p> nnull: nothing? it is like trying to login into my system using "mrpotato" as username!
[09:00] <bakarat> newb, i have bout 25% chance to actually get an IP when i plug in a cnonection
[09:00] <bakarat> newb, if it doesn't work, i have to reboot (done dhclient etc to death, he just won't get an IP)
[09:01] <jim_p> bakarat: do an "lspci" at the terminal
[09:01] <nnull> jim_p, ok thankyou, this is what i thought
[09:01] <jim_p> nnull: you are welcome
[09:01] <Dabbu> whaere can i get latest deb package of azureus
[09:01] <bakarat> jim_p, Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 02)
[09:02] <jim_p> bakarat: !!! i have exactly the same thing and it is working!
[09:02] <bakarat> jim_p, a friend of mine at work with an entirely different laptop is experiencing the same thing
[09:02] <jim_p> Dabbu: at getdeb.net perhaps
[09:02] <bakarat> jim_p, any idea how to debug?
[09:02] <bakarat> jim_p, cause it's driving me crazy
[09:02] <bonespur> hi..im running hardy...nautilus is not working on my system...none of the drives are opening
[09:03] <bonespur> and sometimes i am faced with a blank desktop
[09:03] <nnull> jim_p,  one more question, what if i type "ssh -p22 server.name" instead of "ssh -p22<EMAIL_ADDRESS>what happens?
[09:04] <arunvkumar> ,
[09:04] <saschahl> nnull: your current user will be used as remote username
[09:04] <jim_p> nnull: you will be prompted for username and pass upon connection to the server
[09:04] <nnull> saschahl, oh and if that username is not on the server system?
[09:05] <saschahl> nnull: login will fail, telling username or password are wrong
[09:05] <nnull> ahh i see
[09:05] <jim_p> nnull: you wont login
[09:05] <saschahl> nnull: and there will probably a login attempt be logged in the remote system
[09:06] <Aayush_> how  can we check if XO is running in battry or ac in shell script
[09:07] <nnull> saschahl, jim_p : once i have generated keys on the server, does all the client need to do is connect to a known username and login? or do i need to copy the rsa things across or?
[09:07] <jim_p> nnull: i dont know
[09:08] <nnull> ahh you've only connected, never setup a server? kk
[09:08] <saschahl> nnull: you need to copy the public key to the server (the private key on the client)
[09:08] <ogzy> is there any way to run the module-assistant with yes option, when m-a prepare it waits y press to install headers and realted files
[09:08] <saschahl> nnull: then you only need to know the username and the keys will take care of the authentication
[09:09] <nnull> saschahl, i generated the keys on the server, so they are already there, cant i just generate the same key on the client using the passphrase? or?
[09:10] <saschahl> nnull: you generate the keys on the client. and per client. and copy the public key to the server
[09:10] <bonespur> hi..is there a better alternative to nautilus for ubuntu? Im facing too many problems with it...
[09:10] <nnull> ahh thats confusing lol
[09:11] <nnull> so i dont need to generate any keys on the server
[09:11] <nnull> just on client then copy them over...
[09:11] <saschahl> nnull: the client is the one that needs to authenticate. so it creates an identity (the keys). by allowing certain public keys on the server, you control who can log in.
[09:11] <saschahl> the server won't see any private key
[09:12] <saschahl> that way, if the server gets compromised, your keys are still safe
[09:12] <nnull> ahh i see
[09:13] <nnull> saschahl, where are the keys stored? asin where can i add and delete keys
[09:13] <Cavalry> Since a few days ago I have not been able to use my numpad on my keyboard (even with numlock on/off) Any ideas?
[09:14] <sfer3> Hi
[09:14] <saschahl> nnull: keys are stored in .ssh/ Copy the _pub key to the server and add it to the .ssh/authorized_keys file of the user
[09:14] <sfer3> The alsa-project.org website seems to be down? Can anyone help me with this one?

Suggestions?
[09:14] <sfer3> crm?
[09:15] <sfer3> Wait, nvm
[09:15] <sfer3> Read it wrong ;)
[09:16] <nnull> saschahl, ok sweet last question question i hope, ive generated keys on the server and it said WARNING added something to hosts file or something, do i need to delete my Known_Hosts file or>
[09:16] <sinan> Can anyone recommend an Emacs with gtk ?
[09:16] <nnull> when i say ive generated keys on the server, i did this before by mistake.
[09:16] <aldaek> cant get teamspeak to capture from right device.

[09:17] <babo> i just received 20 or so spam messages to my inbox in gmail. that's a bit strange no ? Did that happen to anyone else ?
[09:18] <aldaek> nope, unless it went direct to spam folder.
[09:18] <nnull> :F
[09:18] <saschahl> nnull: no, the known_hosts file has nothing to do with the keys. you don't need to change that
[09:19] <jigp> hello how to install skype in ubuntu 8 desktop?
[09:19] <sfer3> Isn't it in synaptic?
[09:19] <jim_p> jigp: you need to dl it from its site as a .deb file
[09:19] <nnull> saschahl, ok im just worried because im quite sure the system added it self to a list of connectable clients :s
[09:19] <sfer3> Wait, not in synaptic, I was just imagining that ;)

[09:25] <sfer3> Hi again everyone
[09:25] <sfer3> I'm having some issues with alsa - have tried some things but so far they haven't worked.
[09:25] <st3ph> what prob u got with alsa? sfer3 ?
[09:26] <sfer3> sound was working fine, then it just went. When I type alsamixer from terminal, it displays this message: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[09:26] <sfer3> I've done some searching, but so far nothing I've found has worked.
[09:26] <st3ph> u used usb headset sfer3 ?
[09:26] <sfer3> Nope.
[09:28] <sfer3> I've tried a few things, but they haven't worked.
[09:28] <st3ph> wait i try to find some cmds
[09:28] <sfer3> I updated some things and then when it started it just wouldn't work anymore - when I click on the speaker icon in the panel it just pops up with "No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found"
[09:28] <sfer3> Thanks
[09:29] <martin_> what's this?

[09:35] <ivorBoaz> Hi, I want to install Ubuntu over my fedora core OS.  Any way to do this without losing my data, i.e., installing over the top of FC without having to re-format the disk?
[09:35] <MrMist> hey all :)
[09:36] <jigp> hello how to install yahoo messenger with voice / chat conference ?
[09:36] <marlun> Can I copy a file to multiple locations? like cp file loc1 loc2 loc3? This doesn't work.
[09:36] <MrMist> I've got a few entries in fstab, and a few partitions on my disk, and they all show up on my desktop. I don't want them to. How do I disable this ?
[09:37] <MrMist> jigp: Tried pidgin?
[09:37] <fatjedi> can anyone help me with ventrilo?
[09:37] <jigp> MrMist : there is no voice conference.but there is chat conference
[09:37] <Ziroday> MrMist: pidgin does not and will never do voice or video
[09:37] <sfer3> Back
[09:37] <jigp> MrMist : pidgin cannot mass msg also :(
[09:38] <MrMist> Ziroday: How about plugins ?
[09:38] <LurkersA> kopete?
[09:38] <Ziroday> jigp: there is the official yahoo messenger software for linux, and I think that supports video and chat
[09:38] <error404notfound> host command doesn't give the hostname of a local ip system...
[09:38] <ivorBoaz> marlun: no, cp does not do multiple copies.  you would need to do this in a script.
[09:38] <Ziroday> jigp: however it will be difficult to install http://messenger.yahoo.com/download/
[09:39] <MrMist> error404notfound: nslookup IP
[09:39] <Ziroday> jigp: wait thats the wrong link

[10:23] <jackyz3> hi guys please could somebody help me with ubuntu and spamassasin im pretty new and would appreciate some help very much
[10:23] <LurkersA> !ask | jackyz3
[10:23] <jackyz3> im looking for a gui interface for spamassain
[10:23] <jackyz3> oops i mean spam assasin
[10:24] <LurkersA> jackyz3: That is only a terminal interface isn't it?
[10:25] <LurkersA> jackyz3: or try 'sudo apt-get install spamc', that looks promising
[10:25] <jackyz3> lurkersA: Im looking for a web or gui interface
[10:28] <MessWithTheBest-> how can i do a WHOIS in ubuntu?
[10:28] <jackyz3> thanks lurkersa
[10:28] <|ns|nR8> please explain MessWithTheBest-
[10:29] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-: type 'man whois', it will give you a good grounding in how to use it
[10:29] <MessWithTheBest-> |ns|nR8: i.e to look for info about an IP
[10:29] <MessWithTheBest-> LurkersA: thnx
[10:30] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-:  the general form is 'whois xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'
[10:30] <|ns|nR8> cool
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[10:37] <LurkersA> It's quiet.....
[10:38] <diobrando> too quiet...
[10:38] <hischild> How would i take a screenshot of an open menu? Print screen doesn't work when the menu is open.
[10:38] <lunat1que> freaky quiet
[10:38] <zorglu_> q. i would like to get vlc 0.9.2 on 8.04. vlc teams doesnt support 8.04 only 8.10. is there a chance to get it backported to 8.04 ?
[10:38] <lunat1que> i tought my internet was broke
[10:38] <lunat1que> :P
[10:38] <tolecnal> lunat1que: people are trying to sleep
[10:38] <LurkersA> hischild: Applications | Take Screenshot
[10:39] <hischild> lunat1que, silence has been broken :p
[10:39] <LurkersA> I was starting to enjoy it too :D
[10:39] <hischild> LurkersA, and how would i use that to take a screenshot of an open menu? as soon as i click in there the menu vanishes.
[10:39] <diobrando> hischild: scrot -c 5
[10:39] <koshar1> is the new vlt done with quicktime?
[10:39] <diobrando> will give you 5 seconds
[10:40] <hischild> diobrando, thank you
[10:40] <LurkersA> hischild: the little window that opens up, turn up the delay value, click 'take screenshot', then open your menu and wait
[10:40] <hischild> LurkersA, ah ok.
[10:43] <MessWithTheBest-> i have problems with video codecs i think. When i play a video in Totem it looks red with blue!!!! I can't see the original colors
[10:44] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-: Try using vlc, and see if that fixes it
[10:44] <ActionParsnip> !codecs | MessWithTheBest-
[10:45] <MessWithTheBest-> LurkersA: yeah it fixes it. But if i run totem first, i get the same result with VLC. I have to reboot again so VLC can play the video correctly.
[10:45] <sixforty> Approximate UTC time, pls?
[10:45] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-: I'm not sure why that happens, but  have heard that complaint before
[10:47] <MessWithTheBest-> that's awful, cuz I have to reboot always. Sometimes i accidentally run Totem cuz it's default movie player. THAT'S REALLY AWFUL
[10:47] <MessWithTheBest-> plz i want a solution for this problem. it drives me crazy
[10:47] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: then change your default player
[10:47] <LurkersA> MessWithTheBest-: Change the default player under System | Preferences | Prefered Applications
[10:48] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: does it perform the same with mplayer?
[10:48] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: it's ok with Mplayer
[10:49] <MessWithTheBest-> only when i run Totem for the first time, it damages the codecs
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: is there a hidden folder in ~? relating to totem?
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> ~/
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> not ~?
[10:50] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: no
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: so there's no ~/.totem folder
[10:51] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: i found folders for: vlc. mplayer and gstreamer
[10:51] <MessWithTheBest-> no
[10:51] <ActionParsnip> or similar
[10:51] <MessWithTheBest-> no i looked all of the folders.
[10:52] <MessWithTheBest-> nothing looks relate to Totem
[10:52] <IamSOG> um...
[10:53] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: i didn't find any folder relates to Totem
[10:53] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: cd ~/; find -name totem
[10:54] <MessWithTheBest-> i found: ./.config/totem
[10:54] <MessWithTheBest-> and ./.gconf/apps/totem
[10:55] <Brucevdk> Hey. A fresh installation of 8.04 here. When I drag top-down on the right side of my touchpad it scrolls horizontally (left to right) not top-down. Anybody familiar with this problem and how to fix it? Here's the section from the xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/d509c7652
[10:55] <mabc> hiya
[10:55] <mabc> i need some help
[10:55] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: what's next?
[10:56] <mabc> is anyone there ?
[10:56] <LurkersA> !ask | mabc
[10:57] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: did anything display?
[10:57] <Brucevdk> I'm going to load a new xorg.conf, might not be back.
[10:57] <mabc> hello
[10:57] <mabc> why wont my nick change ?
[10:58] <adamk>  It did change.  From mabc to mabc99 and then back to mabc.
[10:58] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: yeah i told you. if found: ~/.config/totem  AND ~/.gconf/apps/totem
[10:58] <adamk> And this channel is for Ubuntu support, please keep the conversation on topic.
[10:58] <zetheroo> I am very unhappy with how ubuntu eats up my battery life
[10:58] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: id rename both those folders then rerun totem, if its the same, rename back
[10:59] <zetheroo> Windows has this down.. but Ltinux is not there ye
[10:59] <sfer3> Sure the battery is good?
[10:59] <xnv> zetheroo: Ubuntu != Linux
[10:59] <sfer3> Sure all power saving options are enabled?
[10:59] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: what do you mean by "id rename"?
[11:00] <zetheroo> xnv: yes .. and/
[11:00] <test> boooob
[11:00] <zetheroo> ?
[11:00] <giggsey> I'm trying to boot the ubuntu livecd, and it said that the sd module is something, and now it's i/o erroring when trying to access my sata drive
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: rename both those folders
[11:00] <ActionParsnip> id == i'd
[11:00] <xnv> zetheroo: So you're wrong to make such conclusions based on the information you've offered.
[11:01] <zetheroo> xnv: what was I wrong about?
[11:01] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: oky. Should i rename the "Totem" folders or the outer folders??
[11:01] <xnv> zetheroo: First of all, your approach. If you want help making your battery last longer, ask. This isn't a complaint channel.
[11:01] <zetheroo> xnv: I just said that Windows has power management down much better than Linux
[11:02] <zetheroo> xnv: I did ask before .. you don't have to be so sensitive
[11:02] <zetheroo> ;-)
[11:02] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: just the totem folders, just the ones it found
[11:02] <xnv> zetheroo: Ubuntu != Linux. A bad experience with Ubuntu does not mean the Linux kernel is worse than Windows at power management.
[11:04] <Chousuke> it's not just the kernel that affects battery life.
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: once renamed, run totem
[11:04] <Chousuke> many applications may have an adverse effect.
[11:04] <giggsey> I'm getting "Driver sd needs updating please use bus_type methods" when trying to boot the livecd, and then it's going into busybox. How can I get the livecd booted?
[11:04] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: It WORKS!
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: renamingthose folders will strip your config back to factoy defaults
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: those folders hold the configs for apps on a per user basis
[11:05] <zetheroo> xnv: well I hear a lot of different stuff from a lot of people all professing to be mouthpieces for Linux
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: renaming them to different to expected makes the system give you stock settings
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: you must have played too much and set it wrong
[11:05] <Chousuke> zetheroo: besides, windows level power management is not something Linux should strive for
[11:05] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: you can do it with almost any app
[11:05] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: yeah maybe!
[11:05] <Chousuke> zetheroo: if there's something to emulate, it's OS X.
[11:06] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: cool trick
[11:06] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: thnx man
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: now it works, you can delete the folders you renamed (new names as their will be new folders of the original name)
[11:06] <zetheroo> Chousuke: I just know that Windows Vista gives almost double the battery life that Ubuntu gives
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: np man
[11:06] <daniele> hi all
[11:06] <Chousuke> zetheroo: then something is wrong with your configuration
[11:07] <Chousuke> zetheroo: power management on Linux is very configurable; something is wrong with your system if the difference is that huge.
[11:07] <zetheroo> Chousuke: thats what I have been told... and then I had people helping me configure it .. but its still not happening
[11:07] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: remember, always rename so you can roll back
[11:07] <xnv> zetheroo: This is a support channel. If you want help improving battery life, ask. Otherwise...
[11:07] <xnv> !offtopic
[11:07] <daniele> i've aproblem... I've upgraded fron feisty to hardy and i've lost the trash-bin from the desktop...
[11:07] <diobrando> Yeah, my laptop is about equal for battery life with xp vs debian etch
[11:07] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: ok :)
[11:08] <Chousuke> zetheroo: might just be that you have badly supported hardware
[11:08] <daniele> it also doesn't open me the computer folder anymore
[11:08] <zetheroo> xnv: shhhh... its ok.. I am talking with someone else now .... ;-)
[11:08]  * shandoo off
[11:08] <zetheroo> Chousuke: how do i know?
[11:08] <xnv> zetheroo: In the wrong channel.
[11:09] <Chousuke> zetheroo: well, you'll need to check hardware compatibility lists I suppose.
[11:09] <zetheroo> xnv: are you in a position of authority here? ... I am not leaving because your feeling hurt ...
[11:09] <Chousuke> if you have an nvidia or ati graphics card it's likely not very good for power consumption, for example.
[11:09] <zetheroo> Chousuke: hmmm.. any idea where those would be?
[11:10] <Chousuke> !hcl
[11:10] <zetheroo> Chousuke: I have an ATI card
[11:10] <daniele> how can i do to reset the gnome configurations... I also tryed to move .gnome  .gnome2 and .nautilus but it didn't change at all
[11:10] <xnv> zetheroo: I'm not asking you to leave. I just don't want to be trolled with your opinions about Windows vs. Linux. Explaining your experience so that Chousuke and others can help you is just fine.
[11:10] <zetheroo> Chousuke: still though ... Windows gives me 2 hours of battery life and Ubuntu gives about 45-55 min!!!
[11:10] <Chousuke> zetheroo: that might just be teh problem
[11:11] <Chousuke> heh, from ~nothing to ~nothing :)
[11:11] <zetheroo> xnv: there are things that Windows has better than Linux and vica-versa ... its just natural ... you can't have it all ... ha
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> daniele: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=55302
[11:12] <Widgit> Hi All - I got a problem - I cant mount my raid 5 drive. dmesg | tail errors in itEXT2-fs error (device sda1): ext2_check_descriptors: Block bitmap for group 912 not in group (block 231211008). sda is a drive in the raid it comes up 3 time and also has this ... EXT2-fs: group descriptors corrupted!
[11:12] <Chousuke> zetheroo: I can't say for sure, but I would put the blame on the ati drivers
[11:12] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: I think i have a problem with my graphics card driver. I have nvidia GT8500 512 VRAM. When i run Avant Window Navigator and enable the Normal Visual effects, the windows become like heavy. I'm not sure if the problem is from the driver. When i choose None Visual Effects, everything becomes ok.

[11:12] <xnv> zetheroo: Again, this is not the place for debating Linux vs. Windows. Please stop.
[11:12] <zetheroo> xnv: but I have been using Ubuntu for 3 years and am happy with it ....mostly
[11:12] <Chousuke> zetheroo: I'm doubtful whether they're optimised for power consumption
[11:12] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: maybe you need a different driver. I dont use ghastly effects so ive no idea
[11:12] <diobrando> daniele: .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity
[11:13] <adamk> MessWithTheBest-, "become like heavy" ?
[11:13] <Chousuke> zetheroo: but I can't say much more :/
[11:13] <Chousuke> have to go now anyway
[11:13] <LurkersA> zetheroo: http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm read
[11:13] <zetheroo> Chousuke: so .. if I reverted to the VESA drivers would I get better bat life?
[11:15] <MessWithTheBest-> adamk: when i minimize then i maximize a window, it returns slowly. I don't know how to describe that actually!!
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: set the animation speed higher
[11:15] <ActionParsnip> well...faster
[11:15] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: how to do that?
[11:16] <adamk> MessWithTheBest-, That's often a problem with certain drivers.  There have been a number of complaints about nvidia driver performance for geforce 8/9 series cards.
[11:16] <adamk> MessWithTheBest-, You may want to check out this thread: http://nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=115916
[11:16] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: its in the settings. i dont use it so you'll have to sniff around
[11:18] <MessWithTheBest-> i use nvidia-glx-new driver
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: have you tried the proper nvidia one from www.nvidia.com
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> or the envyng-gtk one?
[11:19] <abngal> hi guys. i had perviously used wobbly effect of compiz after installation. however, after some time, the some effects disappeared like the wobbly effect. Other effects are working fine. I cannot however enable additional plugin in compiz. any one has an idea

[11:22] <nevoeiro> hello. just connected an epson stylus d92 via usb. ubuntu detects it but when i try to print something, the page comes out blank... already checked ink levels and it's ok. can someone help?
[11:22] <giggsey> I'm trying to use wicd to connect to my wifi (it detects the drivers using ndiswrapper, and detects wireless networks, but it won't connect. At the end of dmesg, it says ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready. How can I make it ready?
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> nevoeiro: it needs installing as a d68
[11:24] <Nata-Oh> who can explain www.getdeb.net?
[11:24] <nevoeiro> ok. let me check...
[11:24] <Renegade_> Me got a qestion. I connect&configure my Epson C43SX and it works propertly, but i can't find where i can see how mutch paint left in printer... Try to search in google, but don't find enything.
[11:25] <ehtom> Nata-Oh: it just looks like a custom repository
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> Nata-Oh: its a place to download .debs
[11:25] <nevoeiro> actionparsnip: it worked!!

[11:26] <MessWithTheBest-> what's the meaning of "laggy"?? I'm reading a thread about nvidia drivers and it mentions a problem says: Compiz Fusion very choppy, laggy minimize/maximize.
[11:26] <diobrando> slow/delayed
[11:26] <nooga> i've got a computer, outside the office, that runs ubuntu and it connects to the internet using ppp and gsm modem. The problem is a pptp tunnel that i've set up to connect that computer to  our office VPN. When the tunnel goes down it also "damages" ppp internet connection. It looks as if ip-down for the tunnel cleans resolv.conf
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: lag is a network term meaning slow performance, it can also be used when other stuff is slow
[11:26] <nooga> is there a way to avoid damaging the internet connection when the tunnel goes down?
[11:27] <MessWithTheBest-> ActionParsnip: yeah, that what's happening with me
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: try using the envy driver, you will have to revert to "nv" driver if you do a kernel update and you will need to rerun envy once the new kernel has booted
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> MessWithTheBest-: and each time after that
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> !envyng | MessWithTheBest-
