[04:03] <googeek> phat : not that i know of, it made all my games work on my last system
[04:03] <Dusty_> anyone know the basics about settings up unixODBC?
[04:03] <dj_segfault> googeek: There must be HP-specific forums someone might know on.
[04:04] <brjann> googeek: back with kernel version 2.6.20 at least some toshibas had the same problem.
[04:04] <bob6> so I have a Dell studio 1747 and I was wodering if anyone would be able to help me get the tuner card it's got working?
[04:04] <frankS2> phat: shouldt be a risk... but why do yu want to upgrade if they already work?
[04:04] <googeek> dj_segfault : has anyone tried editing the actual alsa-base file?
[04:04] <dsnyders> phat, over the past week I've been monitoring this site there's been a large number of people with nvidia issues (myself included).  My recommendation is that if it is working don't futz with it.
[04:05] <Boots32M> Hi all. I'm runnin a netbook with 9.10 netbook remix and want to delete icons on my desktop.... how do I do this?
[04:05] <dj_segfault> googeek: Not to my knowledge.
[04:05] <Boots32M> brb:)
[04:05] <bob6> no one?
[04:05] <phat> dsnyders: ya, it seems whenever I want to upgrade I get screwed. Still, I want to use CUDA and I've heard that it only works with driver version 190. Is that correct?
[04:05] <googeek> brjann : that's what I thought... I am just crossing my fingers they'll somehow fix it in lynx, since i don't want to return my brand-new-already-removed-windows-stickers box
[04:06] <olskolirc> do we have a softcam device like manycam?
[04:06] <coop> trying to figure out how to enable alsa? cant tell whether my sound card supports it?  what specific alsa item should i grab from synaptic
[04:06] <dsnyders> phat, I've got no idea.
[04:06] <phat> aside from that, all graphics are working fine.
[04:06] <brjann> googeek: there are a couple of suggestions to use the lenovo model in alsa-base
[04:06] <olskolirc> softcam for ubuntu?
[04:06] <user1_> Is there any grammar check package in ubuntu
[04:06] <brjann> googeek: e.g., options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo
[04:06] <user1_> !grammar
[04:07] <phat> dsnyders: ok thanks for the help.
[04:07] <googeek> dj_segfault: well, thanks for your help, I think I'll try editing that file a few more times in a few more ways, via the tutorial i found in the forums, and see if i can't get it to be nice
[04:07] <dsnyders> phat, it was more an expression of opinion than actual help.  For all I know it will work fine.
[04:07] <dj_segfault> googeek: If you find a solution PM me.  Lots of people would like to know
[04:07] <brjann> googeek: check out the last 20 or so posts here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/109838
[04:09] <brjann> googeek: some of that may be helpful. looks like it's been an ongoing thing for the last few years
[04:09] <googeek> brjann: Yeah, I tried  a version of that fix, only imputing what I thought I should for my specifics, it was a no-go but maybe I'm just not doing things right, i'm still pretty much an uber noob to the world of linux.
[04:09] <stueh> Hello everyone, quick question. I'm using Ubuntu Server 9.10, have just installed it in a VM with two network interfaces (preparing it for deployment on ESXi). I need to tell apt-get to use eth1 instead of eth0, how would I do this?
[04:09] <coop> when i issue lpay -l, reports Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC662 rev1 - can i use ALSA with this card?
[04:10] <Boots32M> Hi all. I need something to be able to modify, delete, or see what icons point to on my desktop. 9.10 NBR
[04:10] <phat> anyone have any info about CUDA? specifically, how to start developing with it on karmic?
[04:10] <PeskyJ> brjann: the command I was thinking of is chkconfig - and does appear to be available in linux
[04:10] <PeskyJ> brjann: I mean in ubuntu
[04:10] <brjann> PeskyJ: ah. not familiar with that one
[04:11] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I'm having an issue with kpovmodeler.  The views are not behaving properly.  See: http://imagebin.org/85792
[04:11] <stueh> Is anyone able to help me with getting apt-get to use eth1?
[04:11] <googeek> brjann: thanks for your help
[04:11] <Boots32M> (0)   (0) looking for an Icon manipulator in ubuntu nbr:)
[04:11] <brjann> googeek: no problem, good luck :)
[04:11] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, still haven't found a fix for that eh?  hope tonight you find one.  good luck man
[04:12] <dj_segfault> Boots32M: gimp?
[04:12] <timyeung> What does this mean?:* #python :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services
[04:12] <ZykoticK9> !register > timyeung
[04:12] <Boots32M> dj_segfault, sounds good probably available from synaptec manager??? what exactly does it do though?
[04:13] <phat> anyone have any info about CUDA? specifically, how to start developing with it on karmic?
[04:13] <dj_segfault> stueh: You don't tell individual programs what ethernet device to use, you set up your routing so requests for IP addresses goes to the right card.
[04:13] <NCS_One> hi
[04:13] <phat> the drivers, gcc version, etc.
[04:13] <PeskyJ> brjann: easy and useful - worth a look :)
[04:13] <dsnyders> ZykoticK9, Nope.  I've corrupted gnome, fouled up compiz, befuddled xwindows, and gotten them all straightened out again, but this issue still remains.
[04:13] <dj_segfault> Boots32M: Full graphics editor like Photoshop.  Very powerful, not very obvious.  Like photoshop ;)
[04:13] <brjann> PeskyJ: next time i have a service that needs wrangling i will investigate!
[04:13] <ZykoticK9> dsnyders, lol - well at least your trying!
[04:14] <stueh> dj_segfault: I'm new to Ubuntu Server, any chance on some advice on hiw to do this? :)
[04:14] <Boots32M> Oh.... can I modify, delete and, or change the appearance of icons on my desktop with that???
[04:14] <brjann> phat: is there anyone in #cuda? they might be able to help
[04:14] <dj_segfault> stueh: What exactly do you want to do?
[04:14] <Boots32M> I'm probably going to get that anywy:)
[04:14] <brjann> phat: oops, sorry. #cuda
[04:15] <NCS_One> the settings in my ~/.Xdefaults are not loaded at start, I have to open it and save it, any one know why ?
[04:15] <phat> there's a #cuda channel? awesome.
[04:15] <justin22885> hey..i cant get my ubuntu to connect
[04:15] <justin22885> i guess maybe my driver isnt working properly for the wifi.. its a ralink driver
[04:15] <justin22885> ralink wifi.. anyway, it says its connected to my router, but i cant get internet on it
[04:15] <brjann> phat: yep, looks like it's got 47 people in it
[04:16] <justin22885> nevermind.. it works now
[04:16] <brjann> justin22885: glad we could help! ;)
[04:16] <PeskyJ> justin22885: ugh - wifi in linux, I've had major headaches trying to get different cards to work which usually end if me giving up... i.e. it either works out or the box or you're up for a lot of misery
[04:16] <dj_segfault> stueh: Sorry, got your query mixed up with someone else.  I would use firestarter to set up routing and firewall.  Very user friendly
[04:17] <SilverFox> I'm using gdm.  How do I make it so one of my users doesn't run gnome/kde, but instead just run an xterm.  I tried putting xterm & in ~/.xinitrc, but that seems to be ignored.  How do I go about this?
[04:17] <stueh> dj_segfault: Well, I'm installing fog imaging client on a fresh install of Ubuntu Server in a VM. Now, part of this, it uses apt-get. My network config is eth0 is an internal virtual network with no outside connection to the internet, eth1 is using eth1 on the host. Now, I have set eth0 to static, and eth1 is using dhcp. With eth0 turned off, I can use apt-get (aka run the ./install file, which uses apt-get as part of that), but I need eth0
[04:17] <stueh> dj_segfault: That might have been a bit long, tell me where it cut off :)
[04:18] <pw-toxic_> When i move the mouse over the network icon of the gnome toolbar, it says that "Wireless Networks are disable". How can i enable them? I know here are a lot of wlan networks
[04:18] <PeskyJ> pw-toxic_: click on that very same network icon and it will bring up a menu
[04:19] <NCS_One> pw-toxic_: right click it
[04:19] <NCS_One> and check activate network
[04:19] <Dr_Willis> that icon has a differnt menu on the left and right clicks - i belive
[04:19] <pw-toxic_> NCS_One, yes i did, but the entry with "enable wireless" is deactivates
[04:20] <Dr_Willis> thats a little confuseing :)
[04:20] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  you dont have a switch on the machine to turn wireless on/off ?
[04:20] <dj_segfault> stueh: It left off as "but i need eth0" but I get the idea.  The idea is your routing table dictates what port to use to reach different networks. If you type "route -n" you will see what I mean.
[04:20] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, no i dont have. Its a Lenovo Thinkpad edge
[04:21] <NCS_One> the settings in my ~/.Xdefaults are not loaded at start, I have to open it and save it, any one know why ?
[04:21] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, i have previousvily installed ubuntu inside of windows, and there networking worked
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  sure theres not some special fn-keys? or some hidden switches?
[04:21] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, now i am on a clean install of ubuntu
[04:21] <stueh> but I need eth0 turned on to run the install, as I need it to talk to another VM
[04:21] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, oh . ill check this one. Good idea
[04:21] <stueh> dj_segfault: but I need eth0 turned on to run the install, as I need it to talk to another VM
[04:21] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  ubuntu inside winows uses special TAP(?) devices wher its forwarding through the windows box :) so it not the same
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  on my netbook  i had to boot to windows. use the switch to make SURE the wireles was on.. then reboted to windows.
[04:22] <Zer> Err... what's the deal with an update to sudo?
[04:22] <stueh> dj_segfault: Okay, now I get it
[04:22] <xyz> hi
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> the switch on it would turn wireless OFF but neve back on :)
[04:22] <itai> hi, i'm using karmic on a desktop, whenever i leave the computer running for more than an hour it completely locks down and i cannnot 'bring it back to life', only hard reboot works, what do?
[04:22] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, yes.. the switch button doesnt work on ubuntu ;(
[04:22] <pw-toxic_> ill start windows
[04:22] <stueh> Well would you look at that
[04:22] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  there may be some tweaks to make it work.
[04:22] <dj_segfault> stueh: You can have different cards going to different networks, and even the same card going to different networks, if your network physical topology is set up that way.  But that routing table is the key, not your application.
[04:23] <stueh> The gateway for eth1 (aka the dhcp configured eth) is not in the list O.o
[04:23] <Remmaze> Remmaze is in THA HOUSE....!!
[04:23] <hikenboot> can you patch kernel headers or do you need the full source?
[04:23] <SilverFox> you have to have the source in order to have something to patch
[04:24] <NCS_One> itai: check the sistem > preferences > energy
[04:25] <hikenboot> ok next question whats the difference between linux-source and linuxs source final-union
[04:25] <itai> NCS_One, ok, what excatly am i checking for?
[04:25] <NCS_One> itai: is it a laptop ?
[04:25] <itai> NCS_One, no., desktop, also , i dont have 'energy' in system>pref
[04:25] <brjann> Zer: what do you mean? there was a security update released
[04:26] <brjann> itai: does it lock up when it's idle, or when you're using it?
[04:26] <itai> brjann, idle
[04:27] <brjann> itai: i'd suspect one of three things: problems with power management (acpi), overheating, or bad memory
[04:27] <hikenboot> never mind figured it out
[04:27] <pw-toxic_> i have a small offtopic question.. im looking for cool wallpapers and themes.. is there an ubuntu like theme/wallpaper page?
[04:27] <itai> brjann, brand new computer. so what do i do now?
[04:28] <NCS_One> pw-toxic_: gnome-look
[04:28] <dsnyders> hikenboot, do share
[04:28] <pw-toxic_> NCS_One, thx
[04:28] <bastid_raZor> pw-toxic_: gnome-look.org
[04:28] <itai> brjann, i'll go acpi first, what do i check for?
[04:28] <bazhang> pw-toxic_, /msg ubottu themes for links
[04:28] <maruku> anyone recommend a room for shell scripting?
[04:28] <brjann> itai: well, testing memory is probably easiest. in the ubuntu boot menu, there should be a memtest option. select that and let it run for a few hours (or overnight)
[04:28] <pw-toxic_> already found it by google gnome look ;)
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  thres also tools 'gnome-art' an 'gnome-artng' that can get papers from diff3ernt sites
[04:28] <dj_segfault> stueh: <Adam Savage>Well THERE's your PROBLEM</Adam Savage>
[04:28] <Dr_Willis> maruku:  #bash
[04:29] <maruku> awesome, ty
[04:29] <itai> brjann, ok, will it fix it?
[04:29] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, i just think that the colors of 9.10 look like shit.. this makes me really mad :D
[04:29] <NCS_One> where do I save xterm settings ?
[04:29] <NCS_One> the settings in my ~/.Xdefaults are not loaded at start, I have to open it and save it, any one know why ?
[04:29] <meanburrito920_> why is it that opengl programs tend to kill compiz?
[04:29] <stueh> dj_segfault: Yeah, it's a problem with the way I've set up the virtual network interface (aka the guest using a physical one on the host) >.>
[04:30] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, enable wlan on windows helped - i now have wlan on ubuntu
[04:30] <stueh> dj_segfault: Thanks for the help!
[04:30] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I'm having an issue with kpovmodeler.  The views are not behaving properly.  See: http://imagebin.org/85792   It's supposed to look like this: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-graphics/kpovmodeler/defaultviewlayout.png
[04:30] <brjann> itai: no, it will just tell you if there's something wrong with the memory. it just runs tests over and over verifying that the memory functions correctly.
[04:30] <dj_segfault> stueh: No problem.  Go forth and geek out.
[04:31] <brjann> itai: if it displays errors, you need some new memory. if it's a new computer it's probably still under warranty.
[04:31] <itai> brjann, ok , thanks
[04:31] <brjann> itai: as for acpi, read here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[04:32] <stueh> dj_segfault: Shall do! Seeya mate :)
[04:32] <brjann> itai: that explains how to use boot options, and you can try the "acpi=off" option and see if that improves stability
[04:33] <NCS_One> itai: probably disabling the option that sleeps the pc after 1 hour
[04:34] <Boots32M> Hello all:) anyone know of an application that enables the user to delete icons and see where they point?
[04:35] <NCS_One> in my ubuntu and translated to English its in Sistem > preferences > Energy manegement
[04:35] <brjann> NCS_One: ack! i didn't even think of that. itai, check System > Preferences > Power Management first, and make sure it's not set to put the computer to sleep.
[04:35] <itai> brjann, let me check
[04:35] <unitedpotsmokers> hello guys good morning... i want to remove unused program at startup application. What program we can safely remove?
[04:35] <letalis> Boots32M: are you referring to symlinks?
[04:35] <Remmaze> how do i kill update manager, wats is the command line?
[04:35] <hikenboot> dsnyders, final union add support for newer unmerged kernels for union file system
[04:36] <unitedpotsmokers> i am using ubuntu karmic
[04:36] <pw-toxic_> Remmaze, ps -e and you see all processes
[04:36] <pw-toxic_> then look for the number and do kill <process numeber>  ie  kill 1235
[04:36] <nytek_> unitedpotsmokers: preference -> session and startup
[04:36] <shazbotmcnasty> anyone know of a web interface for like gedit, vim ,or som,ething similar
[04:36] <shazbotmcnasty> just a huge input field
[04:36] <SpaceTraveler> I'm trying to get MythTV (Ubuntu 9.10) to boot without a monitor. Any good xorg docs/links?
[04:36] <Boots32M> letalis, I don't know. I am new to this running 9.10 NBR and want to be able to delete unwanted icons and see where others point to on my desktop.
[04:36] <itai> brjann, it says : put computer to sleep-never, spin down HD when possible and put display to sleep when incative for 30 min, should i change anything?
[04:36] <Zer> Does anyone know a fix to 'hrtimer: interrupt too slow' in dmesg making the Ubuntu VM utterly unresponsive?
[04:36] <hikenboot> for example 2.6.31 is merged so it doesnt have a final-union where as 2.6.32 does because it hasnt been merged is my understanding
[04:36] <nytek_> shazbotmcnasty: vim is what i use. i love it
[04:37] <shazbotmcnasty> I know about the program, but I want a web interface
[04:37] <Remmaze> im dloading sumting, but my update manager just sits there, try to reconnect to this 1 site, i cant close it, how do i kill it?
[04:37] <shazbotmcnasty> because girlfriend loves working in tabs
[04:37] <shazbotmcnasty> in firefox
[04:37] <shazbotmcnasty> and pastebin is too small of an input field
[04:37] <nytek_> shazbotmcnasty: shazbotmcnasty you might like mousepad or geany
[04:37] <brjann> itai: you can try disabling display sleep and disk spin down, and see if that helps
[04:37] <anthony_> a program i'm running uses opengl and when i click on menus (file, edit, etc.) the pop up but under the window... how can i solve this?
[04:38] <itai> brjann, thanks
[04:38] <sensae> Since enabling compiz, when I type in gnome-terminal the characters are sometimes a square instead of the proper character.
[04:38] <brjann> itai: no problem, good luck :)
[04:38] <SilverFox> how do I configure a particular user to NOT launch gnome, but just xterm instead?
[04:39] <bullgard> Synaptic: "The DEB program package ┬╗openoffice.org-emailmerge┬½ contains a component which allows OpenOffice.org to "mail merge" to E-Mail." What does it mean 'to mail merge to E-Mail'?
[04:39] <nytek_> sensae: is it asking you to restart?
[04:39] <pw-toxic_> I have just installed thunderbird. Where do i find the files of this program? i want to import my profiles by copying thunderbird profile files
[04:39] <sensae> nytek_: Nope.
[04:39] <shazbotmcnasty> is there any websites that I can use just as an input field
[04:39] <nytek_> sensae: you might want to restart
[04:39] <sensae> nytek_: I'll give that a try
[04:40] <jsec> pw-toxic_, should be in usr/bin/thunderbird IIRC
[04:40] <bullgard> pw-toxic_: '~$ sudo updatedb' then '~$ locate thunderbird'.
[04:40] <switch10> Is there a way to see if a cron job is running, or if it has finished?
[04:41] <bullgard> switch10: Yes, at least the latter.
[04:42] <unitedpotsmokers> no one know which items we can remove safely?
[04:42] <pw-toxic_> jsec, its in usr/lib and usr/share
[04:42] <sensae> nytek_: Still doing it :/
[04:42] <Remmaze> pw-toxic_: im updating sumting, but my update manager just sits there, trying to connect to this 1 site, trying to load ttf-mscorefonts, i cant close it, how do i kill it??
[04:42] <Remmaze> pw-toxic_: im updating sumting, but my update manager just sits there, trying to connect to this 1 site, trying to load ttf-mscorefonts, i cant close it, how do i kill it??
[04:42] <FloodBot2> Remmaze: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:42] <switch10> bullgard: how do I do that?
[04:42] <skraps> switch10: `cat /var/log/syslog | grep cron`
[04:42] <jsec> pw-toxic), eh you learn something new every day ^_^
[04:43] <switch10> skraps thanks
[04:43] <Remmaze> Floobots : sorry man, i accidentally pressed enter twice...:)
[04:44] <seanbrystone> shhhh we dont talk to the bots Remmaze ;)
[04:44] <Remmaze> hahaha...
[04:44] <pw-toxic_> Remmaze, I'm not sure, but i would try to kill it with the console.
[04:44] <pw-toxic_> Remmaze, so i would enter "ps -e"
[04:44] <pw-toxic_> then i can see all processes running and look for the update manager
[04:44] <pw-toxic_> and then kill it
[04:45] <anthony_> how do i stop my drop down menus from being covered up by the programs window?  i think it's my opengl but i really don't know.
[04:45] <Remmaze> ok guys, i managed to kill using the force quit...
[04:45] <bullgard> switch10: Have a look into /var/log/syslog: '~$ mc /var/log/syslog'. Then press F3 and look for 'CRON...'.
[04:45] <pw-toxic_> or you can go System -> Administration -> System Monitor to have a windows like taks manager
[04:46] <anthony_> anyone?
[04:47] <anish_> YUP
[04:47] <xyz> hi
[04:47] <anish_> hi
[04:47] <anish_> ????
[04:48] <xyz> how to enable wireless in ubuntu 9.10
[04:48] <jsec> !wifi | xyz
[04:49] <rifter> well, guys, I have a bit of a puzzler here. I've been trying to install some packages and when I do an apt-get install I get the "Couldn't find package" error message.  But I go to synaptic and not only are the packages there but they are already installed!  Obviously if they're installed I don't have a problem with that package now, but I am trying to figure out why synaptic would show something different from apt-get
[04:49] <faron> hey again everybody.hey ! can anybody tell me what a "cpu governor" is ? what it does ?
[04:49] <bullgard> anthony_: One solution is to quit your particular program window and restart it on another workspace.
[04:49] <anthony_> how do i stop my drop down menus from being covered up by the programs window?  i think it's my opengl but i really don't know.
[04:49] <rifter> one of the packages in question is gstreamer-0.10-plugins-ugly in case that helps
[04:49] <switch10> rifter: try apt-get update
[04:49] <anthony_> ok
[04:49] <anthony_> thanks
[04:49] <switch10> rifter: and then try to install
[04:49] <rifter> switch10, yeah I did that, it didn't change anything
[04:50] <switch10> rifter: weird
[04:50] <brjann> faron: cpu governors control how your cpu speeds up and down in response to demand
[04:50] <hal9k20101> hello all... need some help with screen setup, need to config x
[04:50] <rifter> switch10, yeah I know.  you would think that if it shows up in synaptic, apt-get would show it, too
[04:50] <faron> hmmmmmmm could this help me with flash video & audio sych up ?
[04:51] <acu> I want to backup a 750GB hard_disk (with only 20GB occupied)  - and restore it in a smaller hard disk (300 GB hard disk) - what should I use? partimage requires at least equal hard disk with the original
[04:51] <switch10> rifter: what are you trying to install?
[04:51] <rifter> switch10, so really now I am worried that I have somehow broken apt and need to fix it
[04:51] <anthony_> it didn't work.  :(  does the same thing.
[04:51] <bullgard> rifter: I do not know why Synaptic's and apt-get's results differ. You need to observe more carefully both programs outputs.
[04:51] <pw-toxic_> does someone know how i can customize the behavior of the window titlebar double click? i want the double click to force a window maximize
[04:51] <brjann> faron: probably not -- you can try turning on the performance governor to guarantee full speed at all times, but i doubt it will help with flash
[04:51] <switch10> acu: use rsync
[04:51] <dsnyders> rifter, can synaptic and apt-get hav different sets of repositories?
[04:52] <rifter> switch10, well several media packages, but one of the ones in question is  gstreamer-0.10-plugins-ugly which does show up in synaptic as installed but apt-get install shows  "Couldn't find package"
[04:52] <faron> You have any ideas about what I can do about that
[04:52] <seanbrystone> acu, or the GUI version of rsync, grsync
[04:52] <pw-toxic_> im sorry.. this was an emeral option i have set up myself
[04:52] <bullgard> dsnyders: No.
[04:52] <faron> ?Others with the same ram seem to have no probs with flash
[04:52] <switch10> rifter: see if you can find it with aptitude search
[04:53] <acu> seanbrystone: so if I want to backup the disk with the operating system - should I boot with a live system - Knoppix or somehting
[04:53] <anthony_> any other ideas?
[04:53] <Remmaze> why cant we talk to the bots?
[04:53] <Remmaze> just wondering....
[04:54] <faron> why can't you talk to the bots ?
[04:54] <ZykoticK9> Remmaze, sort of a one sided conversation
[04:54] <seanbrystone> acu ive never done whole-disk backup, so im prolly not the one to ask about that :D
[04:54] <bazhang> Remmaze, you can; but /msg ubottu to do so
[04:54] <faron> I do
[04:54] <rifter> dsnyders, well, know that when I check system -> administration -> software sources I have the same sources as are in sources.list and the .list files I have under /etc/apt/sources.list.d as far as I can tell
[04:54] <faron> they don't really talk back much but well,you know heh heh
[04:55] <faron> robots,huh ? Go figure
[04:55] <faron> heh heh
[04:55] <bazhang> faron, sure ubottu does; /msg ubottu info packagename for example
[04:55] <rifter> switch10, no joy on aptitude search
[04:55] <ZykoticK9> acu, you might want to check out http://clonezilla.org/ which is a livecd that does disk imaging
[04:55] <dsnyders> rifter, I was just trying to find a reason why they might have different software.  Apparently they use the same list, so that idea is out the window.
[04:55] <brjann> faron: no, sorry, I don't know much about flash troubleshooting.
[04:56] <bullgard> Synaptic: "The DEB program package ┬╗openoffice.org-emailmerge┬½ contains a component which allows OpenOffice.org to "mail merge" to E-Mail." What does it mean 'to mail merge to E-Mail'?
[04:56] <faron> well,thks anywy friend
[04:56] <brjann> faron: no problem, good luck :)
[04:56] <seanbrystone> ZykoticK9, but doesnt clonezilla require the destination to be as big as the source?
[04:56] <rifter> dsnyders, yeah and I just checked settings -> repositories under synaptic and it shows the same software sources dialog with the same sources
[04:56] <ZykoticK9> seanbrystone, i'd imagine so yes
[04:56] <Flam> java
[04:56] <ZykoticK9> seanbrystone, it does to compression as well
[04:56] <anthony_> ok then...
[04:57] <seanbrystone> ZykoticK9, he didnt want that though, remember he said partimage was that way too :)
[04:57] <ZykoticK9> seanbrystone, sorry i actually just caught the tail end, and jumped in -- don't know the history at all
[04:57] <seanbrystone> no worries :D
[04:58] <rifter> dsnyders, as far as I can tell is supposed to be in the regular repos under universe restricted or multiverse
[04:58] <rifter> fromthe internet
[04:58] <Flam> My Movie Player program plays online radios and videos properly, but the youtube feature plays without sound.  Anyone know why?
[04:59] <switch10> rifter: have you tried installing it with synaptic?
[04:59] <acu> Zykotick9: thanks I just look at clonezilla - seems cool - the only limitation is that the target partition should be at least equal to the original  - thanks anhouw - seanbrystone is very perceptive :)
[05:00] <rifter> switch10, synaptic says I already have it installed
[05:00] <pw-toxic_> arr ubuntu is really nice ;)
[05:01] <rifter> dsnyders, actually I look in http://packages.ubuntu.com/search and it doesn't find the package there ... so...
[05:01] <Swin> Just putting this out there, but if anyone has a 320GB Passport Elite they'd be willing to 'hdparm -I /dev/xx > file' and 'hdparm --Istdout /dev/xx >> file' for me I'd be very grateful, query me. :)
[05:01] <skraps> flam: have you made sure its using the right software? like alsa, oss, or fuse?
[05:03] <Flam> skraps, I don't know how to check.. trying to figure it out now.
[05:03] <Flam> im new to linux
[05:04] <leohartx> hello, every one
[05:04] <wrapster> if i have 2 pci-ids provided by a pkg.. lets say they are...pciex11ab,4352 and pci11ab,4352 .. I know that ex stands for express card. But for a particular express hardware to work is it required to have both these IDs listed or will the express card work with just pci11ab,4352 ?
[05:05] <leohartx> i was trying to shrink my ext3 partition with live cd , but i got a problem , it said : resize2fs: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to resize /dev/sda5 (my /home partition), what should i do now ?
[05:07] <anthony_> i'm running a program that uses opengl.  When i click on my drop down menus (file, edit, etc) they disappear under the programs window.  i know they are still there cause they flicker for a sec as my cursor moves over them.  how do i stop that?
[05:09] <anthony_> can anyone help?
[05:09] <bullgard> Synaptic: "The DEB program package ┬╗openoffice.org-emailmerge┬½ contains a component which allows OpenOffice.org to "mail merge" to E-Mail." What does it mean 'to mail merge to E-Mail'?
[05:10] <rifter> bullgard mail merge takes a set of information from tables in a spreadsheet/database and plugs t into points in a document so you can make like form letters
[05:11] <rifter> bullgard, so for instans you could have a letter that says dear [name] and it would set up a set of documents that put a name in each copy
[05:11] <hikenboot> I am trying to apply a kernel patch with patch -p1 --verbose and it just sits there with no output on two seperate kernel versions
[05:12] <bullgard> rifter: Ah! Thank you very much for  your excellent explanation.
[05:12] <rifter> bullgard, yeah you might check out http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/FAQ/Writer/Printing/How_do_I_setup_mail_merge
[05:12] <rifter> bullgard and http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOoAuthors_User_Manual/Writer_Guide/Using_Mail_Merge
[05:12] <bullgard> rifter: Very good. I am hurrying to read this article.
[05:13] <Boots32M> symlinks is command line based
[05:13] <Boots32M> Is there something like that with its own gui
[05:14] <rifter> bullgard, basically fields in your document will refer to fields in the database or spreadsheet, so you could have things like name, address, phone number, favorite color, whatever, and then you relate those fields in your document to the fields in your data source and it plugs them in
[05:16] <bullgard> rifter: Yes. I remember that WordStar implemented such a function.
[05:18] <pw-toxic_> i have just downloaded eclipse for php.. where should i normally place this program ?!
[05:19] <Neon0Blue> Can anyone help me install a D-Link usb wireless device on ubuntu?
[05:19] <brjann> pw-toxic_: you can either put it in your home directory, or someplace like /opt
[05:19] <pw-toxic_> what stands opt for?
[05:20] <brjann> pw-toxic_: optional. it's more or less a place to put stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else, especially if it comes with its own directory structure (like eclipse does)
[05:20] <Neon0Blue> ... So can anyone help?
[05:21] <rastasean> I'm also looking for help with vsftp
[05:21] <mouse_> Hi
[05:21] <balki> Hi all..
[05:21] <rastasean> hello
[05:22] <Bawls> hi
[05:22] <rastasean> do you know much about vsftp?
[05:22] <pw-toxic_> i'd like to change the boot screen image (and i want to show some more informatio like what is beeing started right now)
[05:22] <pw-toxic_> i know there is a program for this but i dont remember it
[05:22] <balki> getting a python26.dll not found error when trying to burn a netbook ubuntu iso in pendrive
[05:22] <mouse_> not much yet, rasta.
[05:22] <balki> how to run the usb create.exe now??
[05:23] <rastasean> mouse, do you know how to change the GROUP owner of a folder? I think this is preventing ftp uploads. shows root as owner
[05:23] <brjann> pw-toxic_: you can edit the grub boot line and remove "quiet"
[05:23] <balki> rastasean: chown :groupname folder
[05:23] <brjann> pw-toxic_: that will just show you what's going on instead of the splash screen, though
[05:24] <pw-toxic_> brjann, no i'm looking for a gui where i can change the image of the ubuntu booting process
[05:24] <brjann> pw-toxic_: oh, okay. sorry, no idea :)
[05:24] <pw-toxic_> brjann, there you can set up a bootscreen AND show additional boot data
[05:24] <mouse_> Sry, Rasta, I dunno. I'll try to find out l8r.
[05:24] <balki> hello.. has anyone used the usbcreater.exe which comes along with the netbook iso??
[05:24] <bullgard> !google | pw-toxic
[05:24] <rastasean> thanks, mouse
[05:25] <rastasean> i think this is close but i still get error
[05:25] <brjann> pw-toxic_: fancy! let me know if you find out
[05:25] <rastasean> obviously i'm not using the command correctly, balki
[05:25] <pw-toxic_> brjann, why cant i remember the coolest tools ;))
[05:25] <pw-toxic_> brjann, you can even change the login screen

[05:32] <bullgard> Neon0Blue: Please put a specific question here so that people can help you more speedily.
[05:32] <CyberaX2195> in a terminal you mean ?
[05:33] <CyberaX2195> cd firstfewchars followed by tab
[05:33] <CyberaX2195> should autocomplete the name of the folder
[05:33] <coldfire2122> Is ext4 as reliable as ext3? I'm creating a partition to make important backups and want to feel safe about not losing or corrupting it.
[05:33] <wasutton3_> how would i go about downloading all the .tgz files from this website? http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/flightgear/ftp/Scenery-1.0.1/ (i have been looking at wget, i just cant seem to get the settings right)

[05:38] <hamza> when i go to disk manager, they do show
[05:38] <BladeNBrocade> is ikonia around?

[05:39] <CyberaX2195> and then run hostname -F /etc/hostname

[05:40] <brjann> !ask | DeAtavist
[05:40] <voss749> brjann, lucids version should be upgraded to 2.2
[05:41] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, that isn't the FCC ID, that is the ID of the device when plugged in, I'm saying the one on the device itself, it should be printed clearly in the form of FCC ID:ŃĆĆXXXXXXXX

[05:47] <Bookman> Is there a free alternative to cpanel available?
[05:47] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, hmm, a Ralink chipset, you might have some luck using ralink drivers, I think it might not be showing any interface could either mean no firmware or or there's errors with symbols
[05:47] <Neon0Blue> Where can I download Ralink drivers?
[05:47] <abhra> @faron it might be a theme.try to change it from appearance
[05:48] <abhra> @hamza ok i'll
[05:48] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2
[05:48] <Zus> faron,  check a compiz maybe you hit a keybinding and enabled it
[05:48] <Neon0Blue> Which one should I get?
[05:49] <faron> abhra......can you rtell me how I would do that ?
[05:49] <faron> compiz not installed
[05:49] <Neon0Blue> There are 2 usb drivers.
[05:50] <faron> i always thought thatr it was part of firefox telling me the window was still loading but other signs say window is finished
[05:50] <wer> !
[05:50] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, I'd try those two, one by one of course
[05:50] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[05:50] <Neon0Blue> Trying newer one first.
[05:51] <Neon0Blue> Thanks for the help.
[05:51] <Zus> faron,  if ccsm isnt installed then it aint thatm  :P
[05:51] <Neon0Blue> I'll tell you how it goes.
[05:51] <faron> ccsm ? what exactly is that ?
[05:51] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, you'll probably need firmware as well, which is also available on that site
[05:51] <abhra> @faron system>preferences>appearwnces
[05:51] <Neon0Blue> Uh.... Ok.
[05:52] <sabat> How can I tell if my wireless card is installed? os:u9.10 PC:MX6453 Gateway Laptop.
[05:52] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, its Dlink DWA-125 right?
[05:52] <faron> abhra...does it make a difference.....i am running xubuntu
[05:52] <Neon0Blue> How do I install the drivers form the Tar.bz2 file? lol I already extracted it but what commands do I put in terminal to make it go. Yes.
[05:52] <psycho_oreos> sabat, pastebin your lspci -nnk

[05:53] <linuxpjc780> Hey - I have Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala).  Do I need a Bluetooth adapter to get Bluetooth to work?  Or is Ubuntu already set up with Bluetooth ready to go?
[05:53] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, umm you'll need to make it first
[05:53] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[05:53] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, read the README file included
[05:53] <Neon0Blue> I am.
[05:53] <Dr_Willis> linuxpjc780:  you need a bluetooth dongle/device - to use bluetooth software - yes
[05:53] <Zus> brb
[05:53] <Neon0Blue> And confused.
[05:53] <Neon0Blue> lol
[05:53] <harisund> Why are both " linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic-pae" and " linux-image-2.6.31-19-generic-pae" installed even though uname -a says  2.6.31-19-generic-pae is the kernel being run? apt-get auto remove didn't remove the 2.6.31-14 image .. can I remove it myself?
[05:53] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: that depends on if your computer has a bluetooth card in it, if it doesn't, you need the adapter to use bluetooth
[05:53] <abhra> @faron i'm not sure.i never tried xubuntu
[05:54] <linuxpjc780> OK - and that would probably be the case - with either Ubuntu or Windows?
[05:54] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: yeah
[05:54] <faron> ahhh,okay then thks anywayu
[05:54] <Dr_Willis> linuxpjc780:  you need a bluetooth device in the pc.. regguardless of the OS.
[05:54] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, found the solution, try this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917

[05:55] <Neon0Blue> Ok I'll try that.
[05:55] <asher> hi
[05:55] <david> hi
[05:55] <sabat> psycho_oreos: the system is not connected to any network, kinda hard to do
[05:55] <psycho_oreos> abhra, support for that goes in #ubuntu+1
[05:55] <faron> hi
[05:55] <psycho_oreos> sabat, well are you able to save the output into a file onto something like USB stick and transfer the data across?
[05:56] <abhra> @faron defitely.hope you'll find your answer.best of luck
[05:56] <sabat> joshuah: I did that, I see "Network DISABLED" on the paragraph that is related to the wireless
[05:56] <sabat> umm... I suppose
[05:56] <psycho_oreos> sabat, you do realise that if it isn't connected to internet, installing drivers will be very hard to do?
[05:56] <pw-toxic_> no one in here who knows how to change the login screen of ubuntu?
[05:56] <Guest15548> alguien k hable espanol
[05:56] <user1_> any writing software in ubuntu
[05:56] <abhra> @psycho thanks.i'll try it
[05:56] <psycho_oreos> !es | Guest15548
[05:56] <sabat> it seems to be installed tho
[05:56] <TheStreetRacer> is possibol add plug in firefox ed2k?
[05:56] <sabat> I am only assuming it is, because it see's the mac address.
[05:56] <psycho_oreos> sabat, from where?
[05:56] <swygue> any bash pro's around, I need to store a the result of a command in variable like VAR=$(run command). This works but when I call it, like this echo $VAR. The result is I get the result twice, once when the command is executed along with the echo
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> TheStreetRacer:  theres firefox extensions for all sorts of things.
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> !p2p
[05:57] <sabat> it see's the mac address in the data from the command "sudo lshw -C network" that joshuah told me to use
[05:57] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_:  therea a few gdm2 config tools that let yiu change a few things..   see http://delicious.com/dr_willis under the gdm and gdm2 tags
[05:57] <joshuah> sabat: maybe try "ifconfig -a" and see if it's in there. you can enable it with "ifconfig ADAPTER up" where ADAPTER is your interface, usually eth0 for wired, possibly eth2 or wlan0 for wireless
[05:57] <psycho_oreos> swygue, tried #bash ?
[05:57] <sabat> but it says "network disabled" also
[05:58] <swygue> psycho_oreos: thanks
[05:58] <dsnyders> Hi all!  kpovmodeller is screwing up.  The windows are doubling up.  See: http://imagebin.org/85792   Anyone know a fix?
[05:58] <sabat> joshuah: I see it, wlan-, no bcast ip or anything, just blank
[05:58] <psycho_oreos> sabat, if you can, try to get it hooked up to internet using cable or at the very least get the output of lspci -nnk into USB stick and paste the output on pastebin
[05:58] <psycho_oreos> swygue, np
[05:59] <TheStreetRacer> I want to associate ed2k links with firefo
[05:59] <Remmaze> im using HP TX1000 laptop running on Ubuntu 9.10, any idea how do i maximize the touch screen options....?
[05:59] <joshuah> sabat: try enabling it, "ifconfig wlan0 up" (need the number that was in "ifconfig -a")
[06:00] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, ah this explains why i cant find the logi options anymore since i've upgraded to 9.10 ;))
[06:01] <linuxpjc780> How do I check within Ubuntu - to see if there is an adapter already installed?
[06:02] <psycho_oreos> linuxpjc780, depends on how its plugged in
[06:02] <sabat> I am sure this is related in some way, but I have wpa enabled on the wap, and it works just fine in windowson this same laptop, my cell phone, and my asus eeepc running suse. we all use the same pw. so I am really trying not to mess with the wpa, cuz it works on everything else arealy.
[06:02] <sabat> I am 99% sure I have entered the right options for the ssid and such...
[06:03] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: you can use "sudo lshw -html > ~/Desktop/specs.html" in the terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) to put an html file on your desktop with your computers specs
[06:03] <joshuah> that's a bit easier to search
[06:03] <psycho_oreos> sabat, your device could either be missing the correct driver or firmware, but without you telling me the output of lspci -nnk you're making the assistance task very awkward
[06:03] <sabat> I am currently working on it, sorry
[06:03] <sabat> 1 more moment please
[06:04] <sabat> just stuck the usb drive back into my pc[the one I am on now
[06:04] <sabat> http://pastebin.com/uwS75hWa
[06:05] <psycho_oreos> sabat, you're missing firmware
[06:05] <Squerdlok> how do I apply a cracked WEP key in hex to an AP?
[06:05] <sabat> firmware? as in I need to update the LAPTOP?
[06:05] <psycho_oreos> !ot | Squerdlok
[06:06] <linuxpjc780> OK - so I ran that sudo command - I don't see an HTML file on my desktop.  Is it hidden somewhere?
[06:06] <abhra> well i'm using usb datacard to access net.upto intrepid,there was no problem.i just edited wvdial.conf,put my username and password and i'm ready  to go.since jaunty wvdial is not there by default.is there another way to connect to net?i mean without wvdial,how am i supposed to connect to net?
[06:06] <sabat> like a flash update?
[06:06] <Squerdlok> thnx ubottu
[06:06] <psycho_oreos> sabat, no firmware to run the device, wireless devices and other devices these days requires a firmware which is usually proprietary and not easily available without internet access and your consent to download proprietary stuff
[06:06] <sabat> aaah, ok. so in otherwords, I jsut need proprietary drivers
[06:07] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, thanks. I have been looking for this for about 45 minutes. But the login manager isnt as good as the one from gdm1 ;( but its a start
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> I'm having an issue installing the ralink drivers
[06:07] <sabat> well, that's lame, but I can deal with that
[06:07] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, the guide doesn't work?
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> Does but.
[06:07] <sabat> I can get internet access on this easily
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> I get an install error when installing the drivers.
[06:07] <psycho_oreos> sabat, well unfortunately that's broadcrap for you, best yet is to physically hook that laptop up using wired and go through hardware drivers
[06:07] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - OK - so I ran that sudo command - I don't see an HTML file on my desktop.  Is it hidden somewhere?
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> Do I need to be logged in as root or just sudo because it's not working on sudo.
[06:07] <Neon0Blue> Any advice?
[06:08] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, which part of the guide are you stuck?
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> "make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/richeyisok/Desktop/RT3070_LinuxSTA_V<IP_ADDRESS>_20100208/os/linux'
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> make: *** [install] Error 2"
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> The "sudo make install" part.
[06:08] <Neon0Blue> Of installing the drivers I make
[06:08] <psycho_oreos> well normally sudo shouldn't fail because you'll be executing that command as root
[06:09] <ZykoticK9> Neon0Blue, "make install" does require sudo -- if you did ./configure and make first, they don't require sudo
[06:09] <Neon0Blue> ok
[06:09] <Neon0Blue> So no sudo
[06:09] <Neon0Blue> Trying.
[06:09] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: no it shouldn't be...
[06:09] <psycho_oreos> try using sudo -i and manually navigate back to that directory with the Makefile and then try running make install
[06:10] <Neon0Blue> Put in the make command and it's going.
[06:10] <Neon0Blue> I think,.
[06:10] <ardchoille> using sudo with make is not recommended
[06:10] <sabat> so do I just need to get internet access on it and run some updates?
[06:10] <sabat> or is using the wireless entirelly hopeless?
[06:10] <freezway> is there a channel about wine
[06:10] <ZykoticK9> Neon0Blue, do you have build-essential installed on your system (it's required for most, if not all compiling)
[06:10] <psycho_oreos> sabat, well you'll need some form of internet access on the laptop before you can do any other stuff with the laptop wirelessly
[06:10] <brjann> freezway: yes, #winehq
[06:10] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: after > is where the file goes and the file name, so you can do something like "/home/USERNAME/Desktop/myfile.html" just to make sure it's right...
[06:10] <Neon0Blue> Yes.
[06:10] <ardchoille> freezway: #winehq
[06:10] <freezway> ty
[06:11] <sabat> ya, done
[06:11] <sabat> what next?
[06:11] <Neon0Blue> cp: cannot remove `/tftpboot': Permission denied
[06:11] <Neon0Blue> make: *** [LINUX] Error 1
[06:11] <Neon0Blue> I think I need sudo.
[06:11] <psycho_oreos> sabat, make sure that you have an IP address on that laptop
[06:11] <pw-toxic_> Dr_Willis, the tool doesnt work for me ;( the login screens dont get changed
[06:11] <ZykoticK9> Neon0Blue, your actually not giving us the real error, could you pastebin the error messages?
[06:12] <Neon0Blue> I pasted it.
[06:12] <Neon0Blue> What do you want me to copy.
[06:12] <ZykoticK9> Neon0Blue, sorry didn't see the tftpboot part - my bad
[06:12] <Neon0Blue> Or can you just remote desktop me.
[06:12] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[06:13] <Neon0Blue> What should I do?'
[06:13] <Neon0Blue> Should I log in as root and try installing it?
[06:13] <freezway> no one is on the wine channel, so i'll ask here... wine isn't running my game at the correct res (warcraft 3 and 1920x1080)
[06:13] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, yeah I'd give it a shot, use sudo -i
[06:13] <Neon0Blue> hm ok
[06:14] <joshuah> freezway: did you install warcraft 3? cuz you should be able to use regedit to set it, that's a warcraft 3 thing
[06:14] <psycho_oreos> you'll also need to navigate back into where you extracted all that ralink stuff
[06:14] <hmw> freezway: are you sure, the game itself can handle this high resolution?
[06:14] <sabat> ya, I got the internet working on it now, entirely, I hooked up the wireless and setup the ip and everything, I don't run a dhcp just for the slight bit of extra security but It's up now.
[06:15] <freezway> im curious, b/c when i had a 1440x900 moniter it didn't let me choose that, but now that i have 1920 x 1080 i can choose 1440x900
[06:15] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - OK, I missed part of your initial command instructions - I got the html.  So where in this html would it say something about a bluetooth adapter (if it is installed)?  Or how would it read?  Another thing - if I go to System --> Preferences --> Bluetooth - and it tells me no Bluetooth adapters are present - then does that for sure mean there aren't any present?
[06:15] <psycho_oreos> sabat, you meant wired
[06:15] <joshuah> freezway: http://warcraft.freakygaming.com/tutorials/running_warcraft_3_in_widescreen.html says you can edit "HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Blizzard Entertainment > Warcraft III > Video" with regedit to change your resolution (in windows or wine)
[06:16] <freezway> k i'll give it a shot
[06:16] <sabat> err, ya
[06:16] <sabat> I got it online tho, so what was next?
[06:16] <psycho_oreos> sabat, ok, open up terminal and type in sudo aptitude install fw-cutter
[06:17] <TimboSlice> hello
[06:17] <psycho_oreos> !hi | TimboSlice
[06:18] <TimboSlice> thx :)
[06:18] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - I successfully generated the specs.html file.  Where would it say in this file - something about Bluetooth adapter?
[06:18] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: that sounds like you don't have one... and I can't find mine in the html file either (and I know I have one).  does it say it's disabled in System > Preferences > Bluetooth? because that's what I have (with an internal adapter)
[06:18] <freezway> sweet that worked thx
[06:18] <sabat> going slow
[06:19] <joshuah> freezway: np, but if you go into Options > Video in warcraft 3 you'll hafta reset it again ^^
[06:19] <psycho_oreos> sabat, but you're now downloading it right?
[06:19] <sabat> done now
[06:19] <bullgard> How can I set my Empathy <IP_ADDRESS> so that it will show Geolocation service results?
[06:19] <sabat> ya
[06:19] <sabat> wired tho
[06:19] <lgc> Hi, what's the best app to listen to internet radio? I remember seeing preloaded long lists to choose from in one app, but I can't remember which one it was.
[06:19] <sabat> it went really really slow at the start, made me wonder if it was working, but it was working
[06:20] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - no, when I go to Bluetooth under Preferences - it tells me an adapter isn't present - that none are plugged in.  But this does not necessarily mean there isn't an internal adapter that's just disabled, right?
[06:20] <Neon0Blue> I still get an install error.
[06:20] <joshuah> lgc: vlc will do that, sometimes you can find a .pls file that will open with it (di.fm), or just open the site from vlc
[06:20] <Neon0Blue> "cp: cannot stat `/home/richeyisok/Desktop/RT3070_LinuxSTA_V<IP_ADDRESS>_20100208/RT3070STA.dat': No such file or directory

[06:20] <FloodBot2> Neon0Blue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:20] <psycho_oreos> sabat, that's ok, umm, check inside /lib/firmware to see if there's a directory named b43 and inside that directory named b43 if there are files starting with b0g0
[06:20] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, you'll need to download the extra files
[06:20] <hamza> is the gnome channel ##gnome? i tried typing in just gnome after the "#" and it went directly to ##gnome
[06:20] <Neon0Blue> Extra files?
[06:21] <Neon0Blue> Like?
[06:21] <Bertik> Need help here please with mount command. As a root I have mounted ( mount /dev/sde1 /mount ) HDD. I have created a file there over ssh ( Putty ). I can see the file over the Putty terminal. I have logged to the box from another box with standard GUI file browser Nautilus ( File-->Connect To Server ) over SSH as a root. I do not see the file created over Putty..... Why?
[06:21] <phrog> Has anyone been able to get libflashplayer.so to work for firefox under Ubuntu 9.10 ppc?
[06:21] <lgc> joshuah, but I can't find lists in vlc. Only the input for the stream address.
[06:22] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: that sounds like you don't have one, you can check in your bios (tap F12 on boot up for dell users, it should say ___ for Setup in the corner of your screen) and see if it's there, but I don't think you have one (you'd need the adapter)
[06:22] <sabat> there is not a folder called b43, I checked multiple times to be sure
[06:22] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, wait, your uncompressed stuff might not be complete
[06:22] <Neon0Blue> ...
[06:22] <Neon0Blue> Can someone just remote desktop me?
[06:23] <Neon0Blue> lol
[06:23] <Neon0Blue> I'm lost.
[06:23] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - K, yeah - I don't have Dell - I have IBM, so ...  I can always check for it in Windows too ...
[06:23] <theadmin> Are debian packages... archives of some kind?
[06:23] <psycho_oreos> sabat, try navigating into hardware drivers and give it a shot
[06:24] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: not really a good idea to allow remote access to a random stranger on irc.
[06:24] <Neon0Blue> Valid point.
[06:24] <Neon0Blue> But I'm lost.
[06:24] <Neon0Blue> And I don't have much to loose.
[06:24] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: with?
[06:24] <Neon0Blue> With my D-Link USB device.
[06:24] <joshuah> lgc: yeah, I think you need to find em beforehand, there might be sites out there for that. googling around I found http://www.streamfinder.com/
[06:25] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: being lost is the best way to find your way around Linux :)
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> I know.
[06:25] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: okay, you might check on windows too, and possibly in your bios (when you start up)
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> But apparently I'm missing files that I don't know where to get or anything.
[06:25] <lgc> joshuah, thank. I'll take a look.
[06:25] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: what files?
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> Someone who can SEE whats going on may help.
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> IDK
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> RT3070STA.dat
[06:25] <Neon0Blue> I think
[06:25] <joshuah> lgc: yeah
[06:25] <FloodBot2> Neon0Blue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:25] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, yeah that is it
[06:26] <linuxpjc780> joshuah - do you know how to access BIOS on an IBM Thinkpad?
[06:26] <Neon0Blue> Where can I get it?
[06:26] <psycho_oreos> it should normally be under that same directory, try searching for it
[06:26] <theadmin> Neon0Blue: Might be a good idea to check manufacturer's site, i dunno
[06:26] <Neon0Blue> RT2870STA.dat
[06:26] <Neon0Blue> I have that?
[06:26] <Neon0Blue> Rename?
[06:27] <psycho_oreos> mm probably not a good idea to rename
[06:27] <joshuah> linuxpjc780: I don't, but it might say (probably "setup") when you see the IBM logo when you startup your computer, and it's probably on their website or google.  be careful when in the setup too, it's easy to mes things up :P
[06:27] <Neon0Blue> hm.
[06:27] <IdleOne> Neon0Blue: what model?
[06:27] <Neon0Blue> FCC?
[06:27] <psycho_oreos> DWA-125 IdleOne
[06:28] <Neon0Blue> FCC ID: KA2WA125A2
[06:28] <Neon0Blue> Yea.
[06:28] <psycho_oreos> I found a guide here but he's having issues with it:ŃĆĆhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917

[06:32] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[06:32] <skullcandy> Does anyone know how to convert ogv to gif?!?!?
[06:32] <demonspork> skullcandy, Google probably does
[06:32] <skullcandy> NO!!! i just searched google dude.
[06:32] <demonspork> lol
[06:33] <ZykoticK9> skullcandy, looks like mplayer/mencoder can do it with "mplayer video.nut -vo gif89a:fps=15:output=test.gif"
[06:33] <IdleOne> psycho_oreos: since you are helping Neon0Blue you should take a look at this also http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1289917
[06:34] <skullcandy> can i have a better explanation of how to do that? :S
[06:34] <joshuah> skullcandy: ogv + gif, image formats? can GIMP do it?
[06:34] <skullcandy> :S not sure Joshuah
[06:34] <freezway> i dont think gimp can
[06:34] <psycho_oreos> IdleOne, lol same link
[06:34] <IdleOne> psycho_oreos: ok :)
[06:34] <joshuah> I thought ogv was video
[06:34] <freezway> it is
[06:34] <skullcandy> Ogv is video, i don't have audio for the clip i just want it as gif
[06:34] <IdleOne> psycho_oreos: didn't see you posted it already
[06:34] <joshuah> you can take a screenshot with totem then convert it to a giv, what does it show when you double click it?
[06:34] <skullcandy> ogv is the output from gtk record my desktop
[06:34] <psycho_oreos> IdleOne, np
[06:35] <joshuah> ohhhh
[06:35] <joshuah> animated gif?
[06:35] <skullcandy> Yes!!.
[06:35] <freezway> yeah
[06:35] <joshuah> I c
[06:35] <joshuah> 1m lol (google)
[06:35] <theadmin> ogv is an Ogg Video, not an animated gif o_O
[06:35] <skullcandy>  i just did for like 15 minuets..... :@
[06:35] <psycho_oreos> skullcandy, you need mplayer/mencoder package, grab those first before trying to convert anything
[06:35] <skullcandy> umk will do
[06:35] <joshuah> skullcandy: 2 heads are better than 1 :P
[06:36] <rastasean>  hello guys. can i get help. i'm trying to send a file on my system via ssh. its a rather large file but ftp is not enabled on the other computer. I have read about the scp but itsn't working for me
[06:36] <psycho_oreos> rastasean, you could try sshfs
[06:36] <Neon0Blue> ok need to uninstall ndiswrapper
[06:36] <Neon0Blue> lol
[06:36] <skullcandy> I will confirm if this works after i convert the file.
[06:36] <rastasean> psycho, what is sshfs?
[06:36] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, first unload it from modules, then blacklist it and then remove it
[06:37] <psycho_oreos> rastasean, ssh file system, allows you to navigate around places inside ssh and copy and paste files if need be
[06:37] <rastasean> psycho, does it need to be installed on the client (person receiving)
[06:37] <psycho_oreos> !sshfs | rastasean
[06:38] <skullcandy> mplayer failed to isntall
[06:38] <psycho_oreos> yes if the client doesn't know how to use scp or winscp or whatever
[06:38] <slimjimflim> anybody know of a cli html parser that will output a url to stdout?
[06:38] <psycho_oreos> skullcandy, and how did you go about installing it?

[06:38] <skullcandy> in ubuntu software then clicked install
[06:38] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, rm

[06:39] <usser> slimjimflim, html parser? like displaying raw html?
[06:39] <skullcandy> oh, i just closed it my bad :(
[06:39] <skullcandy> want me to reinstall then pastebin the errors?
[06:39] <slimjimflim> usser: it needs to input an html file and output the all urls or output the first url
[06:40] <psycho_oreos> skullcandy, yes that'll be more ideal
[06:40] <slimjimflim> *output 'all the urls'
[06:40] <slimjimflim> either way
[06:40] <skullcandy> Installing again pyscho :)
[06:40] <quietone> join #freenode
[06:41] <slimjimflim> i tried looking at some sed examples on it but it was super complicated
[06:41] <skullcandy> @Quietone, Why?
[06:41] <slimjimflim> and the #regex ppl say to get an html parser
[06:41] <theadmin> quietone: You forgot the slash i think
[06:42] <skullcandy> mplayer media player is installed now
[06:42] <quietone> theadmin: yes, i think i have what is called and love and hate relationship with irc
[06:42] <MHz128> Apparently VLC can play encrypted DVD movies... it doesnt work on my system, how do I play DVD movies? legitimate store-bought ones
[06:42] <theadmin> quietone: lo wut... whatever
[06:42] <psycho_oreos> skullcandy, you'll still need mencoder, w32codecs, etc
[06:42] <quietone> theadmin: I don't know what that means
[06:42] <dj_segfault> MHz128: Get thee to medibuntu.com
[06:42] <usser> slimjimflim, just grep for <a href or something
[06:43] <tmukmkd> why sometimes my speaker will make a strange sound? like "thub, thub" but when i open any media player the sound vanish~ (’┐ŻŌ¢╝’┐Ż;)
[06:43] <theadmin> dj_segfault: medibuntu.org
[06:43] <ZykoticK9> skullcandy, the quality of the animated gif produced by mplayer are pretty terrible... 256 colour and framerate seems totally messed
[06:43] <skraps> sed isnt too bad , you just need to study. its one of those things that you really need to learn how to use it before you use it
[06:43] <Neon0Blue> brb going to restart.
[06:43] <usser> slimjimflim, ie curl something.org | grep "<a href"
[06:43] <dj_segfault> Thanks. Right
[06:43] <MHz128> dj_segfault, is that the correct url?
[06:43] <MHz128> oh ok. got it
[06:43] <slimjimflim> usser: i already did that, but i get the whole line...i need to set the url as a variable in my bash script
[06:44] <slimjimflim> usser: i need to extract just the url
[06:44] <dj_segfault> MHz128: No, theadmin corrected me it's medibuntu.org
[06:44] <bullgard> How can I set my Empathy <IP_ADDRESS> so that it will show Geolocation service results?
[06:45] <quietone> skullcandy: because I want to know about ! commands I see. And btw, what is the @ for?
[06:45] <ZykoticK9> MHz128, this might help http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/enable-dvd-video-playback
[06:45] <MHz128> great! thank you!
[06:45] <Neon0Blue> Ok nothing.
[06:46] <bullgard> tmukmkd: "sometimes" is no exact description.
[06:46] <theadmin> Is putting a script to start up HTTPD in /etc/init.d fine?
[06:46] <Neon0Blue> psycho_oreos can you Remote Desktop me and help me out?
[06:47] <claptrap> Anyone here got any experience with Kongregate.com? ;D
[06:47] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, not an ideal solution
[06:47] <Neon0Blue> But I have no clue what's wrong.
[06:47] <Neon0Blue> And maybe by you seeing what's going on you can come up with a solution.
[06:48] <psycho_oreos> well
[06:48] <joshuah> theadmin: there's not a script for it already there?
[06:48] <theadmin> joshuah: I belive there ain't, i compiled it from source and installed into my home's subfolder
[06:48] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, I'd prefer ssh, remote desktop takes too much bandwidth
[06:49] <Neon0Blue> ok.
[06:49] <Neon0Blue> What should I put into gSTM.
[06:49] <psycho_oreos> gSTM?
[06:49] <mhaedo> hey everyone
[06:49] <Neon0Blue> That's my SSH app.
[06:49] <theadmin> Hi, mhaedo
[06:50] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, you'll need to run ssh server
[06:50] <joshuah> theadmin: sure, you can do whatever you want, but be careful with it.  it'll need to be executable (chown +x /etc/init.d/yourhttpdfile) and you might want to back up anything important first
[06:50] <Neon0Blue> Uh lost.
[06:50] <poi77> Hi! I have a Makefile.in file that refers to "Include directories for the compiler" and is defaulting to /opt/local/include   What do I need to use for ubuntu?
[06:50] <tmukmkd> bullgard owh. how can i describe it? because it not always happen at all time -_-'
[06:50] <mhaedo> would anyone here mind giving a few pointers with restoring my grub2?  i'm familiar with grub legacy, but grub2 with LVMs is really throwing me for a loop
[06:50] <claptrap> What's the difference between chown and chmod? .-.
[06:50] <theadmin> joshuah: Oh, so i need to +x it, good point, i'd forget that for sure
[06:51] <theadmin> claptrap: chown changes ownership, chmod changes permissions
[06:51] <psycho_oreos> claptrap, chown is to change ownership of file, chmod changes the various read write execute bits, sticky bits, etc
[06:51] <mhaedo> i've looked at several howtos and tutorials, but i'm a bit confused
[06:51] <joshuah> theadmin: chmod >.<, sorry
[06:51] <Claptrap> Ah.
[06:51] <theadmin> joshuah: Well, lol, i didn't even notice that typo
[06:51] <psycho_oreos> s/file/file\ and\ directory
[06:51] <Hellhound666> claptrap:  chown - change ownership chmod - change permissions
[06:52] <Hellhound666> oh sorry didn't see that
[06:52] <Claptrap> Seemed logical, but since he did the +x and was talking about making it executable... I just wanted to be sure.
[06:52] <Claptrap> lol.
[06:52] <joshuah> theadmin: it's an 18 hr day for me so far :P, I'm a little out of it right now
[06:52] <psycho_oreos> Neon0Blue, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH
[06:52] <mhaedo> anyone at all mind lending a hand with grub2?
[06:52] <Claptrap> Sounds like you might want to sleep, sir.
[06:53] <Hellhound666> I got a question is there any distro at all or maybe an old ubuntu that I can put on my old compcrap laptop
[06:53] <Hellhound666> and update it from there
[06:53] <Claptrap> Ubuntu Netbook Remix!
[06:53] <theadmin> Hellhound666: Maybe Xubuntu...
[06:53] <bullgard> tmukmkd: Tell us the settings of PulseAudio and AlsaMixer and on what of their settings will your strange sound appear and on what settings not.
[06:54] <joshuah> mhaedo: you can install it with grub-install /dev/yourhddhere.  you can edit /etc/default/grub to your liking then run "update-grub" to update grub.cfg.  it's usually under a different package than the older grub (I think one's grub, the other's grub-pc)
[06:54] <Claptrap> Isn't Netbook Remix optimized for older PCs?
[06:54] <Claptrap> Well
[06:54] <Claptrap> Optimized for netbooks.
[06:54] <ardchoille> yes
[06:54] <Hellhound666> theadmin:  thanks I'll give it a try
[06:54] <mhaedo> joshuah: thanks for the pointer...i've read that in a few HOWTOs
[06:54] <joshuah> mhaedo: ok ^^, it took me awhile for me to be able to do anything with it too... was used to the ole menu.lst
[06:55] <mhaedo> joshuah: i'm still a bit confused.  my /boot partition is /dev/sda1 and my root partition is a logical volume in an LVM on /dev/sda2
[06:55] <mhaedo> joshuah: that's what's complicating things.
[06:56] <joshuah> mhaedo: oh... I wouldn't know about that. maybe --root-directory=/boot/something? (or, on a livecd, /media/disk/something)?
[06:56] <mhaedo> see that's the problem
[06:56] <Hellhound666> theadmin:  do you suggest a version?  it's a Presario 700 compaq 20gig hdd I think a 1ghz processor
[06:56] <Ikagara> Hello.
[06:56] <Claptrap> I don't trust LiveCDs just now.
[06:56] <mhaedo> when you use the --root-directory flag it assumes that your /boot is within that root directory
[06:56] <psycho_oreos> Hellhound666, how much RAM?
[06:56] <mhaedo> my /boot is a seperate partition from my root directory
[06:57] <mhaedo> so if i do that it installs grub in /boot/grub, which is actually /boot/boot/grub
[06:57] <mhaedo> well if i use sda1 as my root directory that is
[06:57] <bullgard> How can I set my Empathy <IP_ADDRESS> so that it will show Geolocation service results?
[06:57] <Guest37323> !nick EMTw3@k
[06:57] <avemaria> having problems with 'lock screen', it gets activated even though i am working on laptop. how to stop this buggy behaviour
[06:57] <joshuah> mhaedo: you might want to try #grub sometime tomorrow. if you can get a hold of phcoder he's pro.  I think he's a grub developer
[06:57] <Hellhound666> oh sorry 256mb
[06:57] <misterB> Help, anyone... I was following the tutorial found here: http://www.khattam.info/2009/11/08/solved-dsl-pppoe-not-able-to-connect-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/ and got through it all only to find out that it broke network manager rather than fixing it, and now I can't use wireless or ethernet. Network manager says wired devices are not managed, and wireless sees network but continues trying to connect without success.
[06:57] <mhaedo> and i'm not sure how i'd even refer to my actual root directory which is a logical volume instead of a normal parttion
[06:57] <NimbleRabit> is there a way for me to open a gui text editor to edit a remote file (through ssh)
[06:58] <mhaedo> i miss grub legacy and normal partitions
[06:58] <joshuah> mhaedo: you can boot to a livecd, mount it, then use the logical volume for the disk, and the directory for --root-directory
[06:58] <Ikagara> I have a question. I am on 64bit ubuntu, and i am trying ot find, and download some 32bit librarys (to solve some compatiiblity issues with a applicaiton i use) but im not sure where to find them. I was thinking i sould the soruce list, or package manager to download and reinstal a library to its 32bit version.
[06:58] <ardchoille> NimbleRabit: now's a good time to get used to cli text editors :)
[06:58] <dj_segfault> avemaria: Why shouldn't it work on a laptop?
[06:59] <bullgard> misterB: First reboot and tell the results.
[06:59] <NimbleRabit> ardchoille, somehow I knew that was going to be the answer
[06:59] <NimbleRabit> lol
[06:59] <mhaedo> joshuah: but then it would install grub to a /boot folder in my root directory which still doesn't work because i have a seperate partition for /boot, it's not a directory on my root logical volume
[06:59] <misterB> bullgard: I've tried that
[06:59] <mhaedo> joshuah: so complicated for something that is so simple :(
[06:59] <joshuah> Ikagara: this looks like it might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=928070

[07:00] <avemaria> dj: i have disabled the screensavers increased the idle time
[07:00] <misterB> bullgard: what about ethernet?
[07:00] <mhaedo> ouch
[07:00] <dj_segfault> avemaria: In system --> preference --> power management?
[07:00] <joshuah> mhaedo: yeah... but I think it's some combination of using/not using /dev/sda and a # and --root-directory... like in the old grub how you could install to a partition (hd0,0) instead of a harddrive (hd0)
[07:01] <WizardOfOz> Hi folks I need help lol... erm how do I configure my USR Robotics External 56k Modem :( no lights come on it or anything on UBuntu pls help
[07:01] <joshuah> either way, I bet phcoder in #grub can help you if he's not too busy ^^
[07:01] <mhaedo> joshuah: i've actually managed to get grub2 on my MBR
[07:01] <mhaedo> joshuah: i just cant boot it

[07:02] <Cappy> folks, how are the ATI drivers in karmic? Radeon Express 200M in a notebook.
[07:02] <Claptrap> Grub2 is an evil, evil monster.
[07:02] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: i've never had a problem restoring grub before
[07:03] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: but this time I'm using grub2 as well as logical volumes
[07:03] <joshuah> quietone: you might find some info on that here: http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi
[07:03] <bullgard> Claptrap: Your statement is not helpful.
[07:03] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: i have /boot as it's own primary partition on /dev/sda1, and the rest of my filesystem as seperate logical volumes in an LVM on /dev/sda2
[07:03] <avemaria> any help guys this has become really irritating
[07:03] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: i cannot figure out how to install grub and make it recognize my /boot partition and root filesystem as a logical volume in an LVM on /dev/sda2
[07:04] <mhaedo> Jordan_U: i
[07:04] <Claptrap> bullgard: Sorry? /=
[07:04] <mhaedo> i've followed a few howtos to reinstall it, but they don't really apply to my partitioning scheme
[07:04] <Dr_Willis> i thought /boot couldent  be on a lvm... but i may be wrong
[07:04] <brjann> avemaria: check System > Preferences > Screensaver. display power management is separate from the screensaver settings
[07:04] <Hellhound666> mhaedo:  reinstall grub
[07:04] <misterB> bullgard: it was all working before I tried the tutorial. Any idea where the configuration files are that would have gotten messed up? Don't see anything in dmesg
[07:04] <Hellhound666> oh sorry
[07:04] <Hellhound666> find /boot/grub/stage 1
[07:04] <avemaria> brjann: ive checked it and i have disabled all the settings
[07:04] <mhaedo> Hellhound666: i have, but apparently incorrectly
[07:04] <skraps> i heard that ubuntu is veering away from the "netbook remix" name im looking for the development beta release of the netbook edition
[07:04] <avemaria> still its happening
[07:05] <Hellhound666> find /boot/grub/stage1
[07:05] <Dr_Willis> pw-toxic_: hold down power button for a few secs.. then release.. then hit it again perhaps.
[07:05] <Hellhound666> that will show your hd
[07:05] <Jordan_U> mhaedo, Try this link: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide

[07:06] <mhaedo> joshuah: i've always considered myself to be fairly proficient with google, but no, i didn't find that one
[07:06] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis, It can with grub2, but mhaedo is using a separate non lvm /boot anyway ( which makes sense ).
[07:06] <joshuah> quietone: yeah, anytime
[07:06] <mhaedo> joshuah: looks promising, i'm gonna go read it
[07:06] <rastasean> i am looking for software that will capture images from 1394 video camera and ftp to a site. anyone know of such software?

[07:07] <mhaedo> joshuah: that thread matches my partitioning scheme exactly, except i have seperate logical volumes for /home and /
[07:07] <mhaedo> joshuah: it'll probably tell me what I need, reading it now
[07:07] <joshuah> rastasean: you're looking for something to do that all in one step? otherwise there are ftp clients and I'm sure there is firewire camera software

[07:18] <Zus> Jordan_U:  thank you kindly
[07:19] <mhaedo> WizardOfOz: i'm not sure i could be of much help, i'm sorry.
[07:19] <zane> anyone have experiance with vnc? im using vino but it is pretty laggy
[07:19] <mhaedo> woohoo, back to my ubuntu partition!
[07:20] <misterB> bullgard: Okay, I'm back, and wireless is working. I uninstalled network-manager, removed the ppa repository, and reinstalled network-manager from the default repositories. However, I still cannot manage ethernet connections with network-manager
[07:20] <_cached> whats the Enable xinerama tick about?
[07:20] <joshuah> mhaedo: grats!
[07:20] <bullgard> misterB: Ok. Let me read your dmesg log through.
[07:20] <mhaedo> joshuah: thanks for your help, much appreciated
[07:21] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: do you have any way to test it's not the hardware?  try "sudo lshw -C modem" and see if that spits out anything interesting in a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal)
[07:21] <misterB> bullgard: do you want a new one?
[07:21] <joshuah> mhaedo: np, I'm getting better at grub stuff :P
[07:22] <bullgard> misterB: Yes, please. The last one may be obsolete after your modifications.
[07:22] <mhaedo[afk]> i love this laptop
[07:22] <mhaedo> so much more than this laptop
[07:22] <WizardOfOz> joshuah: trying
[07:23] <mhaedo> such a beast.  i can compile an android kernel in 3 minutes :)
[07:23] <mhaedo> i cant wait to see how long it takes to recompile a linux kernel :)
[07:23] <misterB> bullgard: http://paste.ubuntu.com/385542/
[07:23] <sixofour> !kde
[07:23] <mhaedo> perfectly smooth compiz with absolutely no tearing.  so refreshing
[07:24] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: ok thanks, I don't know if that'll work.. so if it doesn't try "sudo lshw -html > ~/Desktop/specs.html" and open specs.html from your desktop
[07:24] <joshuah> mhaedo: what kind of laptop is it?
[07:24] <WizardOfOz> ok
[07:24] <zane> i just had to turn my compiz off to get my vnc to work
[07:24] <mhaedo> joshuah: it's a sager 8690 (built on clevo w860cu)
[07:25] <WizardOfOz> nop
[07:25] <joshuah> mhaedo: wow I don't know anything about that lol
[07:25] <WizardOfOz> The modem is like dead
[07:25] <mhaedo> joshuah: i7 820qm, 4GB DDR3-1333 (i dont need more than 4GB), nvidia geforce gtx 280M, full HD 1080p
[07:25] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: nothing from the first one?
[07:25] <joshuah> mhaedo: it's a monster
[07:25] <joshuah> how much did that run ya?
[07:25] <WizardOfOz> nop
[07:26] <mhaedo> joshuah: got a STEAL, brand new for $1400
[07:26] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: how about the second one? can you search "specs.html" in firefox (ctrl + f) for the modem?
[07:26] <mhaedo> joshuah: retail with tax and shipping it would have been about $2400
[07:26] <WizardOfOz> nop
[07:26] <joshuah> mhaedo: wow, that's crazy... got a link for me?
[07:26] <WizardOfOz> trying with scanmodem
[07:26] <Dr_Willis> zane:  vnc and compiz = not a good combo :)
[07:26] <joshuah> lol, I gotta see this for myself
[07:26] <mhaedo> joshuah: www.ebay.com :)
[07:27] <bullgard> misterB: Yes, please. You have an 'nForce ethernet driver' which I am not familiar with.  (line 667) What does show '~$ ifconfig' about eth0 now?
[07:27] <joshuah> xD, makes sense
[07:28] <misterB> bullgard: it doesn't even list it.
[07:28] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: what happened? nothing came out? there is no terminal? there's no html file? there's nothing about a modem in the html file?
[07:28] <WizardOfOz> ugh
[07:28] <WizardOfOz> its okay i ll buy a new stupid modem
[07:28] <WizardOfOz> josh nop
[07:28] <joshuah> WizardOfOz: >.<, ok gl
[07:28] <misterB> bullgard: i'm guessing pppoeconf is the culprit.
[07:28] <joshuah> sry, didn't know what nop meant
[07:28] <tek__> whats a good external wifi adapter?
[07:28] <bullgard> misterB: Ah! Strange. Just a second.

[07:31] <Dr_Willis> zane:  i use a dedicated vnc server like tightvnc.  and i dont normally share the 'current' desktop
[07:31] <bullgard> misterB: I agree that ppoeconf might be the culprit. But I do not know for sure.
[07:31] <eXXe> my bootmeny doesent like my xubuntu so i get to console after a while
[07:31] <Hellhound666> theadmin:  Hey everything is running smoothly so far with Xubuntu
[07:31] <misterB> bullgard: here's the output of ifconfig - http://paste.ubuntu.com/385545/
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> zane:  also lighter windowmanager/desktops are better for vnc
[07:31] <tek__> Does anyone have a reccomendation for an external USB wifi adapter?
[07:31] <eXXe> and have problem mounting and installering win in linux]
[07:31] <faileas> tek__: one moment
[07:32] <dsnyders> Is there a good chat channel for kpovmodeler?

[07:32] <eXXe> faileas. my xubuntu cd starts installning for just a moment and then quits and i get to console. i got it on both cd and usb/stick
[07:32] <Neon0Blue> Can someone make a .deb for me? Because I CAN NOT get the ralink drivers installed through their source.
[07:33] <tek__> sounds like source file is corrupt
[07:33] <faileas> tek__ http://www.edimax.com/en/produce%5Fdetail.php?pd%5Fid=8&pl1%5Fid=1&pl2%5Fid=44
[07:33] <Neon0Blue> I downloaded it twice.
[07:33] <Neon0Blue> And tried other versions.
[07:33] <eXXe> its the 10/14th i have taken home
[07:33] <faileas> tek__: best adaptor i have ever owned. Master mode in windows, works without a glitch in linux ;)
[07:33] <Neon0Blue> It's missing a file or something.
[07:33] <bullgard> misterB: I saw that eth0 or eth1 are missing. --  Try '~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'. Does this work?
[07:33] <eXXe> i checked for bac tracks on the cd.. both with img burn and ubuntu
[07:33] <eXXe> everything ok
[07:34] <eXXe> i read that olde rmoderbordscould have some kinda problem
[07:34] <faileas> eXXe: tried a net install disk?

[07:35] <bullgard> How can I set my Empathy <IP_ADDRESS> so that it will show Geolocation service results?
[07:35] <eXXe> in knoppix_
[07:35] <priyank_> hrllo
[07:35] <priyank_> hello
[07:35] <faileas> eXXe: a specific error message would help. I'd also suggest giving the LTS a shot, just to see
[07:35] <asha> hello there.. i m using ubuntu 9.10 from last four months in my dell vostro 9.10 and today morning suddenly keyboard n touchpad stopped working, any idea??
[07:35] <eXXe> faileas. no errors.. didnt do the memorny test thou.. it took hours
[07:35] <Neon0Blue> I need a simple and easy way to install drivers for my Dlink DWA-125 USB device.
[07:35] <misterB> bullgard: no change
[07:35] <tek__> How do I know if it supports promiscuous mode?
[07:36] <eXXe> talking to me _
[07:36] <eXXe> ?
[07:36] <bullgard> asha: Please repeat your question here adding dmesg output log (nopaste).

[07:37] <eXXe> tek: any idea how im gonna install xubuntu from my usbdrive?
[07:37] <faileas> tek__: its a rt73 - so i believe so, since the 2x00 driver (which is now part of the kernel) apparently supports it
[07:37] <asha> keyboard and touchpad stopd working suddenly this morning in my ubuntu9.10
[07:37] <bullgard> misterB: Try '~$ sudo mii-tool' followed by '~$ sudo dhclient eth0'." If eth0 does not work, try eth1.
[07:37] <asha> bullgard,
[07:37] <faileas> eXXe: also. did you try the alternate installer disks?
[07:37] <tek__> you would have to change your bios settings
[07:37] <sensae> My fresh install of ubuntu won't boot past "GRUB"
[07:37] <tek__> 1st to boot your usb
[07:37] <faileas> asha: tried it with a livecd or another os?
[07:37] <tek__> nice
[07:38] <eXXe> failreas. im little slow ive been drinking .. but i do my best.. i tried alternate xubuntu and desktop and netbook remix
[07:38] <asha> faileas, in windows its working, didnt checked with live cd
[07:38] <faileas> eXXe: do NOT EVER troubleshoot drunk

[07:38] <Dr_Willis> :)
[07:39] <faileas> asha: ok, that rules out hardware failure. do external keyboards and mice work?
[07:39] <eXXe> can i install some app so i can bootup from my usbdrive?
[07:39] <priyank_> hello is anybody there to help me out

[07:40] <bullgard> !patience | priyank_
[07:41] <priyank_>  ok
[07:41] <faileas> priyank_: i don't think a 'proper' install is meant to switch between systems. some info about the systems would help as well
[07:41] <kyleabaker> can someone tell me where the Ubuntu 10.04 development channel is?
[07:41] <leopard> Hello fellow Ubuntu users! I have a question. How do I unify the two Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 splash screens? To clarify, after I select Ubuntu from the GRUB2 menu, a black background comes up with a white Ubuntu logo in the middle. After that, the brown xsplash comes up with a loading bar, and than the desktop. Well, what I want to do is have my own splash screen, just one of them, come up from the time Ubuntu is selected from the GRUB2 menu
[07:41] <leopard> , to the the I get my desktop. I have searched all over Google for the answer and posted on various Linux forums, all in search of the answer...Could you guys help me? Thanks in Advance! :)
[07:41] <eXXe> it sounds like my problem _
[07:41] <eXXe> ?
[07:42] <Hellhound666> I've had that problem too.  I installed mandrake on my external usb drive and same thing.
[07:42] <kyleabaker> where is the Ubuntu 10.04 development channel is?
[07:42] <Hellhound666> Until I changed the boot order to internal hdd then external.
[07:42] <ZykoticK9> leopard, just an FYI but what you are describing sounds just like what Plymouth does in Lucid...
[07:42] <Hellhound666> rather it skipped internal and went to my external when it was powered on.
[07:42] <misterB> bullgard: now I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/385548/
[07:42] <faileas> >_> i thought plymouth just failed .. might be cause i run the server build tho
[07:43] <nomad77> kyleabaker: #ubuntu+1 i think
[07:43] <ZykoticK9> kyleabaker, lucid discussion/support in #ubuntu+1 (are you really looking for the development channel, don't know that one)
[07:43] <Hellhound666> quad boot mode
[07:43] <misterB> bullgard: but network manager still has the same message so I'm going to try a restart.
[07:43] <kyleabaker> ZykoticK9: no, the Lucid channel, just wasn't sure what it was called. empathy won't give me a room list for some reason
[07:43] <kyleabaker> ZykoticK9: much appreciated!
[07:43] <lampliter> ubuntu 9.10 have problems with flash on amd64 machine.  followed suggestion in ubuntu bugzilla but no joy.  need solution to get wife off my back abuot her machiine being "broken"  :-)
[07:43] <bullgard> misterB: Just a moment. Ok?
[07:44] <eXXe> faileas. sorry for bothering you but im comming to console-mode efter the first meny. and then i tried different commands.. and what do you think i should write to install the files from my xubuntu cd_
[07:44] <eXXe> ?
[07:44] <ZykoticK9> kyleabaker, glad to help - see you in my other window in a moment ;)
[07:44] <asha> please do help, keyoard and touchpad issue, not working in vostro dell 1320
[07:44] <faileas> >_>
[07:44] <faileas> the installer is supposed to be curses based
[07:44] <leopard> ZykoticK9, what do you mean? Would upgrading to the beta/alpha version of Lucid Lynx resolve this issue, or is there a way to do it in my current version? Thanks for your reply!
[07:44] <tek__> where does the chat log save to?
[07:44] <faileas> leopard: he's saying the same thing happens in lucid...
[07:45] <ZykoticK9> leopard, no no no -- just that in Lucid there is a single boot eyecandy thing from grub until GDM
[07:45] <nitrate> !sound
[07:46] <sexcopter> hi, could someone tell me the reason why a gui-less install of ubuntu server comes with openoffice??
[07:46] <faileas> lol
[07:46] <faileas> it shouldn't
[07:46] <leopard> ZykoticK9, faileas: So how to I incorporate the Lucid Lynx boot splash into Karmic Koala?
[07:46] <SikEnCide> sexcopter pretty sure it doesnt
[07:46] <nbros652> bullgard: network manager still says "Wired Networks - device not managed"
[07:47] <p1oooop> ello everyone
[07:47] <bullgard> nbros652: Did you change your nick? I cannot associate your message.
[07:47] <sexcopter> SikEnCide: interesting, I seem to have it installed, don't recall installing it. anyway, no harm really in installing it, is there?
[07:48] <nbros652> bullgard: sorry, I didn't realize it did that to me. (misterB)
[07:48] <p1oooop> so, I have 2 mic inputs and one line in
[07:48] <ZykoticK9> leopard, don't know if that's possible (or advisable) plus you probably won't be happy with how Plymouth looks (it's not too exciting) -- plus Plymouth is causing "issues" right now in
[07:48] <p1oooop> I was wondering if I can change pulse to use my 2ndary mic input
[07:48] <justin22885> does anyone here use exaile?
[07:48] <eXXe> failreas: curses based installe rmenas like console right?

[07:49] <eXXe> im new bee.. spit on me :)
[07:49] <eXXe> newbee
[07:49] <bullgard> nbros652: I am somewhat lost. Is there a relationship between misterB and nbros652?
[07:49] <misterB> bullgard: network manager still says "Wired Networks - device not managed" ... sorry about the name change
[07:49] <justin22885> ill be right back.. i need to restart

[07:50] <misterB> bullgard: I didn't realize that my default nickname didn't come up when I logged back in.
[07:50] <p1oooop> I'll see if I can find some "drivers" for it
[07:50] <{C}ronos> hi, even if i ssh localhost i cant login, i get the Permission denied. I have edited the sshd_config for allowing root login, but no help. anyone?

[07:50] <aleksej> How to install GTK+ in Ubuntu 9.10?
[07:50] <bullgard> misterB: I take it as this: Your wired ethernet is connceted now. But your NetworkManager is confused. Do you agree?
[07:51] <p1oooop> aleksej: I remember there was something on that...
[07:51] <p1oooop> libcario libpango libgtk+?
[07:51] <misterB> bullgard: a restart wiped out eth0
[07:51] <aleksej> Only these packages?
[07:52] <misterB> bullgard: ifconfig is now back to showing only eth2 and lo
[07:52] <bullgard> misterB: Ah! So there is a misconfiguration in your computer. Please send again a dmesg log.

[07:56] <justin__> mp3 playback is dead...
[07:57] <misterB> bullgard: when I installed the ppa in my repositories as recommended by the tutorial, it updated 4 (I think) packages besides network-manager. Is there a way to find out what those packages were and go back and reinstall those as well?

[08:02] <sri1> HI..
[08:03] <sri1> Can anyone please tell me how to connect internet in ubuntu through BSNL  WLL modem?

[08:04] <Hellhound666> Does anyone know of any good schematic software for linux?
[08:05] <bullgard> misterB: I could not find anything suspicious in your last dmesg log.
[08:05] <Haffe> Hellhound666: What kind of schematic?
[08:05] <Hellhound666> I'm thinking about building an old school DC-PC serial cable!
[08:05] <Hellhound666> dreamcast to PC serial cable on linux
[08:05] <bullgard> misterB: Yes, I would try that.
[08:05] <Hellhound666> I only had the software for windows years ago
[08:05] <Haffe> Do you mean circuit diagrams or just general flow charts?
[08:05] <Hellhound666> linux seems more powerful

[08:24] <chd> and I get this error the following packages have unmet dependencies
[08:24] <chd> f-spot, libgnome2.24-cil, tomboy
[08:25] <yassin_> SLT LES X
[08:25] <KnifeySpooney> How much space should I open up on a partition on my USB flash drive (2GB) for an Ubuntu installer?
[08:26] <bullgard> chd: Your error message is incomplete. Please repeat your question adding a complete error message (in a nopaste service).
[08:26] <ardchoille> chd: can  you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources/list file so we can take a look?

[08:27] <ahmed> hi guys
[08:27] <chd> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385566/ sorry
[08:27] <Guest336> whats wrong with my nickname
[08:27] <Threetimes> Hi, I need something that displays the output of a script (or the contents of a file) in the gnome-panel like a ticker. Is there something available?
[08:27] <ardchoille> chd: that error message tells you how to fix it
[08:27] <KnifeySpooney> Guest336: the username 'ahmed' is probably registered
[08:28] <chd> apt-get -f install?
[08:28] <Guest336> ok
[08:28] <chd> k
[08:28] <ardchoille> chd: the last line
[08:28] <Guest336> how wants a lockerz invit ?
[08:28] <ardchoille> Guest336: don't post that here
[08:28] <bullgard> ardchoille: Your log recommends: "Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages." Did you do it?
[08:29] <Guest336> ok
[08:29] <ardchoille> bullgard: was that meant for chd?
[08:29] <chd> I tried that apt-get -f install thunderbird but no luck, same error
[08:29] <Guest336> i am having a problem with the my ubuntu downloaded from the site !
[08:29] <bullgard> ardchoille: Yes.
[08:29] <icewaterman> any idea how to create a compressed swap device? i just need a pointer where to look for.
[08:29] <bullgard> chd: Your log recommends: "Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages." Did you do it?
[08:30] <alankila> icewaterman: ramzswap?
[08:30] <ardchoille> chd: that lines specifically states "Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages", ie, "sudo apt-get -f install"
[08:30] <icewaterman> alankila: not in ram!
[08:30] <chd> bullgard: yea I did it
[08:30] <Guest336> md5 check sum .....
[08:30] <alankila> well, I only know how to make one in ram.
[08:30] <ardchoille> chd: with no packages?
[08:30] <ardchoille> chd: "sudo apt-get -f install"
[08:30] <icewaterman> alankila: i want a compressed swap on disk. the reason is simple: harddisk is slow, cpu is fast, i have a quadcore and that combo makes swap much faster if it is compressed
[08:30] <chd> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385567/
[08:31] <ardchoille> chd: "sudo apt-get -f install" and that's it, no packages
[08:31] <Guest336> help me please
[08:31] <chd> oh got you
[08:31] <ardchoille> chd: once that's done, then try installing thunderbird
[08:31] <alankila> well, I wager ramzswap is even faster :-p
[08:31] <chd> ardchoille: thank you it worked
[08:31] <ardchoille> yw
[08:32] <bullgard> chd: You did '~$ sudo apt-get -f install thunderbird' You should do: '~$ sudo apt-get -f install'.
[08:32] <chd> lol ya
[08:32] <Claptrap> So, anyone have any experience on Kongregate.com?
[08:32] <Guest336> i am making a bootable USB and i have a problem with the md5 check sum !any idea
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> Guest336:  what md5sum are you refering to?
[08:33] <Guest336> i dont know i just want to make a bootable USB !
[08:33] <KnifeySpooney> Guest336: IIRC, you have to do something different to calculate the checksum of a usb
[08:33] <Neon0Blue> I honestly need help with this D-link. Is there anyone here who has done it before?
[08:34] <Guest336> and it stopat 81%
[08:34] <crawler> Claptrap: cool site there.never been there before, you having trouble with it?
[08:34] <Claptrap> Yeah.
[08:35] <Claptrap> The games themselves work fine.
[08:35] <Claptrap> But they use a seperate server or somesuch for the chat and achievements, and it can't seem to connect to that.
[08:35] <Claptrap> Tried in Firefox, Opera and Chrome to no avail.
[08:36] <Dr_Willis> Guest27386:  you download the iso (or let unetbootin do it) check the md5sum of the iso. If its good.. then its good. if not.. redownload
[08:37] <KnifeySpooney> Claptrap: That's odd, Kongregate chat works fine for me on ffox on Ubuntu Karmic
[08:37] <Claptrap> Hmm. I wonder what basic thing I'm missing.
[08:37] <Claptrap> This is a very new install of Ubuntu.
[08:37] <Claptrap> Like, two days old. :p
[08:38] <KnifeySpooney> Haha. the only thing I can think of is to check if cookies are enabled, and if 'accept third-party cookies' is enabled
[08:38] <KnifeySpooney> but i think those are enabled by default
[08:38] <Claptrap> Yeah.
[08:38] <Sakara> mobius2: I tried the recovery-mode and there was nothing to be done there to fix my troubles
[08:39] <Claptrap> In one of the three browsers, if not all three. :p
[08:39] <Sakara> mobius2: attmpeded dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:39] <Sakara> it has not fixed the slowness or mousepad
[08:40] <crawler> Claptrap: have you tried seamonkey?  there are facebook games that don't work in any other broser except seamonkey (on linux)
[08:40] <crawler> or firefox in wine
[08:41] <Claptrap> I haven't. Can't hurt to try.
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> Most facebook games ive tried worked in FF or Google CHrome
[08:41] <Claptrap> Guess I should also see if NoScript or AdBlock+ are interfering
[08:41] <crawler> same here except on called yoville and farmville
[08:41] <jrtayloriv> I installed a new add-on (FoxyProxy) to Firefox, and when I clicked "Restart" firefox crashed. Now every time I open up firefox and go to the addons menu, it still tells me I need to restart, and crashes every time I try. How do I fix this?
[08:41] <crawler> Dr_Willis: farmville works on linux, but it glitches
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> Farmville works here on FF in linux and gogole chrome in linux
[08:41] <Dr_Willis> not seen any issues . but i dont play it a lot
[08:42] <crawler> Dr_Willis: it could be an intel thing, or just this laptop
[08:42] <almoxarife> farmville open source? :)
[08:42] <crawler> Claptrap: it never hurts to try ff in safemode too
[08:43] <Claptrap> Yeah.
[08:43] <crawler> almoxarife: not that i know of, its a flash based browser game
[08:43] <rastasean> rastasean: sleep
[08:44] <crawler> jrtayloriv: you can try uninstalling the extension in safe mode
[08:44] <Claptrap> Still a no-go on Seamonkey.
[08:44] <rabbit1> how to get those running application in the bottom of the desktop ?

[08:48] <almoxarife> java test site at java tells me I don't have java installed in chrome, chrome tells me I do in about:plugins, I am confused
[08:49] <rabbit1> how to get those running application in the bottom of the desktop in a 3d view?
[08:49] <ardchoille> rabbit1: sounds like you're talking about a dock.awn is nice
[08:49] <Trinity33> it doit doesnt <nouwanda> tried gedit and cant open it
[08:50] <ardchoille> !info avant-window-navigator | rabbit1
[08:50] <rabbit1> ardchoille: yeap
 you can use the ide netbeans , it's free you can import your classes and after that export them

[08:51] <happosade> What is GPG keys ID
[08:51] <rabbit1> ardchoille: thx
[08:51] <happosade> Is that 4*8 string (I would like to use my GPG with Evolution)
[08:51] <almoxarife> I want to have a wallpaper that is my syslog scrolling in realtime, any ideas? in gnome
[08:52] <ardchoille> rabbit1: also you might want to install awn-applets-c-extras and awn-applets-python-extras for some extra goodies
[08:52] <rabbit1> ardchoille: i just installed from SPM, it took that both dependencies i guess
[08:53] <crawler> almoxarife: it should be possible with conky
[08:53] <almoxarife> conky?
[08:54] <brnmrt> salve a tutti
[08:54] <crawler> !conky | almoxarife
[08:54] <almoxarife> found it, thnks
[08:55] <rabbit1> ardchoille: i just installed one file awn-pyton
[08:55] <ZykoticK9> almoxarife, check out root-tail, will display logs onto of your regular wallpaper
[08:55] <rabbit1> ardchoille:  i dint find any of the file u said in SPM
  tnx will try it now
 no problem , keep me posted if you need, used netbeans everyday so i can help you
[08:56] <ardchoille> rabbit1: you should be using the repos first
[08:56] <ardchoille> whatever SPM is, that shouldn't even be an option until you've used the repos
[08:56] <ardchoille> I never install anything outside the repos, this is probably why I've never had any problems with ubuntu in 5 years
[08:57] <misterB> bullgard: no luck
[08:57] <lorenzo__> #ubuntu-it
[08:57] <rabbit1> ardchoille: i have installed now how ?
[08:57] <lorenzo__> #ubuntu-it-chat

[08:59] <^sn00per^> 1
[08:59] <^sn00per^> is there a way i can set  the lcd brightness on keys ?
[09:00] <ardchoille> rabbit1: ?

[09:01] <^sn00per^> damn keys
[09:01] <rabbit1> ardchoille: was just checking, how can i use it now?
[09:01] <^sn00per^> hi ardchoille
[09:01] <ardchoille> rabbit1: There should be a new menu entry in Accessories
[09:01] <Threetimes> Hi, I need something that displays the output of a script (or the contents of a file) in the gnome-panel like a ticker. Is there something available?
[09:02] <ardchoille> ^sn00per^: hi :)
[09:02] <rabbit1> ardchoille: yeap, i got it
[09:03] <rabbit1> ardchoille: thx a lot dude, going on weel
[09:03] <Dr_Willis> Threetimes:  i recall some 'systray swallow' app that you probrely could use to 'embed' such a app in a panel If you had some ticker app.
[09:03] <ardchoille> rabbit1: yw :)
[09:04] <Curly_Q> Can sudo aptitude update safe-upgrade be trusted?
[09:04] <web5|org|ua> [only root can mount...] how to propperly write in fstab option to mount ntfs partition for all ?
[09:06] <rabbit1> ardchoille: now i should find themes and how to install it, if i install in appearances wil that be nough for dock also?
[09:06] <Dr_Willis> web5|org|ua:  install/run the ntfs-config program - it might automate it
[09:07] <web5|org|ua> Dr_Willis: thanks
[09:07] <ardchoille> rabbit1: nope, you have to use the awn manager, it should be in Accessories too. If not, alt+f and run awn-manager
[09:08] <ardchoille> rabbit1:  http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Themes
[09:08] <Curly_Q> I don't get it. Ubuntu User account can use apt-get and update the system but User cannot Halt the box unless it is root?
[09:08] <rabbit1> ardchoille: i got the manager, ok that page will do nough, thx
[09:08] <Neon0Blue> ok Modprobe keeps giving me an annoying error.

[09:10] <rabbit1> ardchoille: this is great, i was trying with the panel till date, din;t know exactly, thx
[09:10] <Neon0Blue> Does anyone know how to fix this?

[09:12] <Neon0Blue> Can anyone help?
[09:12] <rabbit1> ardchoille: one last query, whts the keyboard shortcut to bring it up from autohide?
[09:13] <ardchoille> rabbit1: no idea, haven't used it in ages
[09:13] <ardchoille> rabbit1: iirc, you can set that in the awn options
[09:14] <linuxpjc780> What is the best anti-virus software for Ubuntu 9.10?  Is anti-spyware/adware/malware software needed?  I am running ClamTk right now for anti-virus.  People say Linux/Ubuntu is resistant - but I doubt it is COMPLETELY resistant to infection ...
[09:16] <^sn00per^> linux is  still resistant just harder g
[09:16] <^sn00per^> er
[09:18] <linuxpjc780> ^snooper^ - what do you mean by "resistant, just harder" ???
[09:18] <^sn00per^> linuxpjc780,  linux is still resistant just harder to get infected because of all permissions that has been set
[09:18] <yogoppe> cat /proc/cpuinfo speed 183.879 cpu mgz without module speedstep-smi.  with speedstep-smi cpufreq performace = 700mgz and powersave = 550mgz
[09:18] <yogoppe> was wondering if the 189.879 mgz is correct or is it just a misreading?
[09:19] <linuxpjc780> ^snooper^ - OK, so how hard is it for a hacker to get around the permissions?
[09:20] <rastasean> can anyone help me with ice cast and streaming video?
[09:21] <iceroot> i am upgrading my system, because of low space i want to remove ubuntu-desktop, then upgrade and install ubuntu-desktop again. will there be problems if the programs from 9.10 detecting old configs in my ~/.programname? maybe someone tried that already?
[09:21] <Curly_Q> Is it possible to install a GUI on top of an i386 server installation with apt-get. I found this: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/category/kde/     <---<  Will that work?
[09:22] <iceroot> Curly_Q: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop  then you have the normal ubuntu gui
[09:22] <yellowbabe> linuxpjc780: depends on the strenght of users passwords
[09:22] <faileas> Curly_Q: yeah. either with one of the standard desktop installs, or from scratch
[09:22] <Curly_Q> The install is done. So when I reboot will I get the GUI?
[09:23] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: I think for ubuntu what you are mostly needing is a 'rootkit' checker running on a sched, maybe?
[09:23] <^sn00per^> linuxpjc780,  um you would depend on how good your firewall is set up and yellowbabe  is right about strength of passwords
[09:23] <Dr_Willis> Curly_Q:  its possible.. try 'sudo service gdm start' and see if it sarts up
[09:24] <Curly_Q> I had the hardest time installing Ubuntu Desktop and Kubuntu. I installed i386 server and it works nice.
[09:24] <khang> in GNUsim8085 , when i give opcode " mvi  a,ffH " , it say : invalid oprand or symbol  , anyone help ?
[09:24] <linuxpjc780> almoxarife & ^snooper^ - Yeah, can I get some assitance get a rootki checker running on a schedule - and a good firewall setup?
[09:25] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: you install rkhunter and it will setup a cronjob itself. you can also run chkrootkit too
[09:26] <ardchoille> linuxpjc780: is the4re any reason you need a firewall?
[09:26] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: I can't tell you what your firewall needs are, I use 'firestarter', its simple or complex as you want it to get
[09:27] <almoxarife> linuxpjc780: your router should be doing firewall already, I assume you get out via a router
[09:28] <ardchoille> on a default ubuntu install, there's really nothing open for anyone to connect to
[09:28] <lorenzo_> #ubuntu-it
[09:28] <ardchoille> Though you can use firestarter or ufw if you need to

[09:29] <morph> i just downloaded thunderbird from its website and it extracted to a folder with a bunch of files in it, how do i install it?
[09:30] <morph> anyone?
[09:30] <ardchoille> morph: you install thunderbird with : sudo apt-get install thunderbird
[09:30] <ardchoille> and delete the package you downloaded from the tb site
[09:30] <morph> will it be the newest version?
[09:30] <a> hi. my network manager takes too long (2-3 mins) to connect to my home wifi network. my machine is a dell and the wifi chipset is broadcom. is there anyway of speeding up wifi connectivity?
[09:30] <morph> in the ubuntu software center its an old version
[09:31] <almoxarife> ardchoille: I use firestarter cause it has a simple rules making frontend, ufw was too complicated for me
[09:31] <yellowbabe> morph it will be the right one for ubuntu compatible libs etc
[09:31] <a> by speeding up .. i mean connecting ... not actual data speed
