[16:31] <Plasmastar> startup manager didn't fix my res problem. :(
[16:31] <snowrichard> oh cool just installed cheese and tested my webcam
[16:31] <snowrichard> works
[16:31] <thune3> idk_: use \rm to override 'rm -i' alias
[16:31] <scriptwarlock> Plasmaster: :(
[16:32] <rystraum> GrUbEr111: Give me a minute, I'll study the problem briefly.
[16:32] <fuhreal> sharplinux: done, and no change
[16:32] <GrUbEr111> thanks
[16:32] <scriptwarlock> Plasmaster: then its tome to mess with the bootmenu
[16:33] <sharplinux> fuhreal: very strange... ok, can you do 'cat /etc/apt/sources.list' and post the output?
[16:33] <scriptwarlock> idk_: have you tried the simpliest way? sudo nautilus? but be careful..
[16:33] <rystraum> GrUbEr111: What does /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab contains?
[16:33] <hdpb> i'm trying to repair grub via the 1st method here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD do I reboot to liveCD and update-grub from there?
[16:33] <fuhreal> sharplinux: stand by...
[16:33]  * sharplinux waits :-)
[16:33] <GrUbEr111> rystraum, 1 min let me do it
[16:34] <scriptwarlock> idk_: i wont recommend it but in some cases we might need it.
[16:34] <Thalone> idk_: 'rm -rf'
[16:34] <MaRk-I> epenor: si necesitas conectarte a sql necesitas el cliente, el sql developer es diferente
[16:34] <fuhreal> sharplinux: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/XP9URUj5
[16:34] <MaRk-I> oops
[16:35] <fuhreal> :) ty btw
[16:35] <MaRk-I> wrong window :D
[16:35] <Plasmastar> Pardon. Would anyone mind checking my port for me now? :)
[16:35] <nerdy_kid> i want to add printing support to my system (i did a ground up install), all i need is tp install cups?
[16:35] <Plasmastar> I'll PM my IP.
[16:35] <rystraum> fuhreal: dapper-security?
[16:35] <scriptwarlock> Plasmaster: me me me
[16:36] <rystraum> Plasmastar: I can do it for you.
[16:36] <scriptwarlock> Plasmaster: hehhehe
[16:36] <fuhreal> rystraum: dunno wut that is
[16:36] <GrUbEr111> rystraum, boot grub menu says no such file or directory, and fstab says command not found,
[16:36] <scriptwarlock> Plasmaster: why would you want plasmaster
[16:36] <GrUbEr111> im using an old live disk if that matters
[16:36] <nerdy_kid> scriptwarlock lol "ill hack it for yoooouu"
[16:36] <Plasmastar> lol
[16:36] <rystraum> fuhreal: Try commenting out dapper-security and then apt-get update
[16:36] <scriptwarlock> hahaha forget it
[16:36] <azlon> is there a program that will search my computer and catalog my media files. i would like to be able to export them to xml or html
[16:37] <scriptwarlock> need a trusted guy to do
[16:37] <fuhreal> alrighty
[16:37] <scriptwarlock> let restym do the job for plasterman
[16:37]  * DarkStar1 brb
[16:37] <scriptwarlock> oopps plasmaster
[16:38] <nerdy_kid> i just need cups for printing support right?
[16:38] <sharplinux> fuhreal: you don't have the "main" repository available
[16:39] <rystraum> azlon: As far as I know, Rhythmbox sort of does it for you.
[16:39] <azlon> rystraum: videos too?
[16:39] <Plasmastar> Well atleast I fixed that issue. :)
[16:39] <rystraum> azlon: That, I'm not sure. You're looking for a sort-of iTunes substitute, I take it?
[16:40] <scriptwarlock> whew that was fast no sweat....
[16:40] <scriptwarlock> anyone else wants a port scan...joke :)
[16:40] <GrUbEr111> rystraum, im on an old live cd, could that be why the commands arnt recignised/?
[16:40] <fuhreal> sharplinux which is the main?
[16:40] <sharplinux> fuhreal: the easiest way to change this is to go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources....
[16:41] <rystraum> GrUbEr111: Ahh. So you're on a Live CD.
[16:41] <sharplinux> fuhreal: and make sure "Main" is checked
[16:41] <GrUbEr111> yea
[16:41] <rystraum> GrUbEr111: Have you mounted your linux root partition? What's the path?
[16:41] <pieman82> Hi folks. Fairly new to ubuntu (love it), but have a problem with the ethernet connection. Laptop has ubuntu 10.0.4 and works like a dream. Just loaded up the same on a Dell Dimension and while it sees the network hardware it cant communicate with the router. I need to turn the duplex speed to 10 full but cant get ethtool or mii-tool onto the machine to do so. Some help on getting the packages from the laptop on to a usb would be much appreciat
[16:41] <sharplinux> fuhreal: it can be done manually if you prefer, but I would do it via the GUI - it's much more straightforward
[16:42] <GrUbEr111> i dont know haha
[16:42] <rystraum> GrUbEr111: Is the 533.7Gb media on your desktop your linux partition?
[16:43] <GrUbEr111> yes i belive so
[16:43] <fuhreal> sharplinux: all is well
[16:43] <fuhreal> sharplinux ty for your help
[16:43] <sharplinux> fuhreal: excellent! - happy to help
[16:44]  * sharplinux goes away now
[16:44] <rollman> *hi
[16:44] <rystraum> GrUbEr111: Then look for the boot/grub/menu.lst file inside that partition. Same with the etc/fstab file in that partition.
[16:44] <fuhreal> sharplinux: how bout recommending a gui compiler :)
[16:44] <GrUbEr111> ok 1 sec
[16:44]  * scriptwarlock yawns
[16:45] <rystraum> fuhreal: Is there even a GUI compiler? :O Probably Eclipse?
[16:45] <snowrichard> fuhreal have you looked at netbeans ide, supports lots of languages
[16:45] <IdleOne> pieman82: you can go to packages.ubuntu.com, download the packages and dependencies and move them to the other machine then install using dpkg -i packagename
[16:45] <hdpb> i need help restoring GRUB via live cd.  "chroot /mnt" yields "cannot run commanad '/bin/bash': no such file or directory"
[16:45] <fuhreal> rystraum: i'm sure there is.... oi'

[16:48] <preecher> i get this msg when i try to install the gdesklets and dunno how to make the repair it says i have do---The installation could have failed because of an error in the corresponding software package or it was cancelled in an unfriendly way.  Just click it from your desktop?
[16:49] <hdpb> scriptwarlock: yes
[16:50] <scriptwarlock> hdpb: any info at sudo fdisk -l
[16:50] <werneck> it seems like gnome completely ignores the mouse wheel and navigation buttons, except for scrolling... I can't find how to set them to change current desktop... any ideas?
[16:50] <GrUbEr111> ok, but then how do i enter the commands in the window? terminal is still in the wrong directory

[17:01] <psisolution> здрасте всем
[17:02] <jotape01> airtonix, it is a Lenovo S10 netbook
[17:02] <bazhang> psisolution, #ubuntu-ru
[17:02] <cheater99> chrome: maybe the command isn't correct. try running it from a terminal and see what happens.
[17:02] <airtonix> jotape01, are you currently having b43 running ?
[17:02] <scriptwarlock> psisolution: wew cant read the letters
[17:03] <Spreadsheet_> Hi
[17:03] <GrUbEr111> rystraum, http:??pastbin.com/n9UZGgDK, and yes my current directory is the root media
[17:04] <jotape01> airtonix, i want to mention that this netbook is from my boss, before he has mandriva and the wireless nic was working fine (but the 3G modem does not) :-O
[17:04] <Spreadsheet_> I have a Compaq Presario F700. It used to work until one day when the card suddenly stopped working. The card is a b43.
[17:04] <terry> Whats !cups
[17:04] <Spreadsheet_> There's a hardware switch, but no matter which way I turn it, it is always yellow
[17:04] <airtonix> jotape01, yes or no ?
[17:04] <terry> ?
[17:04] <jotape01> airtonix, let me watch about the b43 module....
[17:04] <terry> Whats !cups?
[17:04] <bazhang> terry, read those links?
[17:04] <Spreadsheet_> I have both vista and ubuntu. It doesn't work on either
[17:04] <Spreadsheet_> I'm sure it's a hardware problem, but how can I make sure?
[17:04] <terry> yeah
[17:05] <terry> but no idea about !cups
[17:05] <airtonix> ...
[17:05] <bazhang> terry, it gives you some links to read
[17:05] <rystraum> Spreadsheet_: If it used to work before on both operating systems and it stopped working, I think it's a good enough indicator that it's a hardware problem.
[17:05] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters  http://linuxprinting.org terry read these links
[17:06] <kyle_> people masters, How can I see a list of software I have installed using apt-get?

[17:08] <airtonix> jotape01, ok what happens when you run : sudo rmmod wl && sudo modprobe b43
[17:08] <sharplinux> kyle_: if you just want what's currently installed, add a grep:  dpkg -l | grep ii
[17:08] <josue> The built in microphone in my laptop doesn't work
[17:08] <sharplinux> otherwise it gives you things you might have installed and removed

[17:10]  * airtonix is going to sleep

[17:28] <bazhang> CaReS, ask a question then
[17:28] <blacksunseven> well before i do add it actually, i'm using ndiswrapper for flash32 for firefox - should i uninstall this before proceeding?
[17:29] <GrUbEr111> teleri, i guess i caould just get a more recent live cd, then import all data over to that install?
[17:29] <GrUbEr111> lota work
[17:29] <duffydack> blacksunseven, you can do.. i think it installing the 64bit removes the 32bit anyway
[17:29] <teleri> hello all , after I installed 10.04 on my netbook, after which, any time i hibernate or suspend the comp my wifi won't automatically reconnect to known APs. How do I fix that?

[17:31] <jeeves_Moss> has anyone tried to install the latest update and have it eat your system with an nVidia card?  since I did the update, my laptop's display flickers on and off even in Windows and the BIOS.  this system has been running fine for 1.5 YEARS
[17:31] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: firefox [nextline] Terminated
[17:31] <CaReS> bazhang when i switch on the pc it shows first ubuntu and next down windows xp
[17:31] <bazhang> CaReS, then start the machine? have you read the vbox help/documentation? installed the guest additions?
[17:31] <Parsi> no more descriptions
[17:32] <bazhang> CaReS, that sounds like dual boot not vbox
[17:32] <hajmola> jeeves_Moss, if its like that in the bios, it sounds like the card itself is not doing so hot
[17:32] <teleri> hello all , after I installed 10.04 on my netbook, after which, any time i hibernate or suspend the comp my wifi won't automatically reconnect to known APs. How do I fix that?
[17:32] <CaReS> bazhang yes dual boot, but i like to use ubuntu and then i install vbox,and i want to run windows xp
[17:33] <CaReS> bazhang is it necessary to insert the win xp cd or not?
[17:33] <bazhang> CaReS, you want a dual boot and to install xp on the ubuntu boot? what's the problem then? I dont see any actual questions yet
[17:33] <jeeves_Moss> hajmola, as I said though, it worked great, and it's a little strange how it was only after I did the Ubuntu update.  and to top it off, my second Toshiba laptop with an nVidia card did the same thing reguardless of BIOS, or OS

[17:35] <bazhang> Hemza, there is no such command
[17:35] <edbian> knxville, Does it show up in places -> computer ??
[17:35] <Dr_Willis> knxville:  if it dosent show up in 'places' try  mounting it vya mount command
[17:35] <CaReS> bazhang forget about the dual boot, i told you i have the two os installed,now if i boot on ubuntu and i wanty to run in vbox windows xp that is installed
[17:35] <Parsi> knxville: it automatically will be mounted
[17:35] <bazhang> Hemza, did you want to purge kde from your system?
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> CaReS:  thats doable. but can be a real paion and not reccomended
[17:36] <knxville> edbian: no it does not :(
[17:36] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: have you read my message?
[17:36] <edbian> knxville, Plug it in and remove it and plug it in and look at the very last few line so dmesg
[17:36] <Hemza> bazhang:if i want do that how i can use ununtu
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  i dont know any more info other then to tell you how to see messages in terminal.
[17:36] <bazhang> CaReS, sounds like you need to join #vbox
[17:36] <edbian> knxville, Do you see any activity in dmesg when you plug it in / remove it?
[17:37] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: it's terminal output: firefox

[17:37] <bazhang> Hemza, you want puregnome? to remove all kde packages?
[17:37] <CaReS> bazhang maybe u didnot understood :)
[17:37] <bazhang> CaReS, sure I did. It's not easy to do though
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  and that means nothing to me.. so i cant advise more othe rhten to suggest disable different plugins. and see if it changes/works
[17:37] <Hemza> Bazhang, yes .. tell me how?
[17:38] <knxville> edbian: no activity what so ever
[17:38] <CaReS> bazhang i did it before but i forgot how :)

[17:38] <preecher> what does "could not import tilting module" mean
[17:38] <edbian> knxville, Something is wrong at a low level.  Do other things work in the same usb port?  Does the usb stick work in other computers?

[17:39] <bihari> and how long you are ubuntu user?
[17:39] <edbian> knxville, Whoops!  ah ah.  Sorry  Do you see an entry for the card reader in the output of sudo lspci  ?

[18:21] <sebsebseb> !downgrade | vincent_
[18:21] <churchboi> oh, so they can download it but not have it preinstalled in the live cd?

[18:21] <sebsebseb> vincent_:  You can downgrade by clean installing
[18:21] <vincent_> bah
[18:21] <ChogyDan> vincent_: anything running?
[18:21] <nerdy_kid> GrUbEr111 oh sorry didnt see the chrome part.  Im pretty sure you can, but the same priciple.  you would have to copy your profile onto Linux.

[18:25] <GrUbEr111> peace
[18:25] <alexander_> bazhang I got to "b43 with internet access" but the terminal command asks for my pw then returns "unable to lock admin directory" error
[18:26] <n0a1ias_> the rot password is toor by defult
[18:26] <n0a1ias_> try that one
[18:26] <n0a1ias_> root**
[18:26] <bazhang> alexander_, yes, because you are still installing updates/upgraded packages, let that finish first
[18:26] <Dr_Willis> n0a1ias_:  not on ubuntu its not.
[18:26] <alexander_> roger that
[18:26] <bazhang> n0a1ias_, that is not correct.
[18:26] <vladimirm> I cannot connect to the internet through terminal. Please help!
[18:26] <zopiac> ever since installing my new motherboard, my keyboard volume control buttons have been only affecting PCM and no other slider in alsasmixer does anything
[18:27] <wildc4rd> afternoon all
[18:27] <Caer> Hello, I have a server running transmission with a load average of ~1.5 and some programs are slow to start (ex: ssh 1-90s). What could be fixed ?
[18:27] <Maletor> wildc4rd: lazy saturday is great isn't it?
[18:27] <vincent_> everything laggs not only video and audio lol this whole 10.4 is so slow
[18:27] <Dr_Willis> vincent_:  i dont have any such issues.
[18:27] <vincent_> fixing this would take me weeks if i can type like one letter per minute
[18:27] <zopiac> vincent_: neither do I
[18:27] <Maletor> vincent_: neither do I, perhaps your graphics card?
[18:28] <vincent_> i never had issues before
[18:28] <bazhang> vincent_, care to troubleshoot it?
[18:28] <vincent_> ye graphics :0 : 0 on glxinfo
[18:28] <vincent_> trying to get in a new driver
[18:29] <vladimirm> I cannot connect to the internet through terminal. Selecting network through NetworkManager Applet does the job, but when I'm in say recovery console, I can't.
[18:29] <cmcanulty> you can also cl the volume icon and set preferences that worked for me and alsa mixer didn't
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> vladimirm:  wired or wireless network?
[18:30] <vladimirm> wireless
[18:31] <Caer> where could I ask my performance related question on ubuntu-server?
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> there are specific command line tools to enable wireless networking you could use
[18:31] <vladimirm> http://pastebin.org/388522 <- this is the script I use to connect, but no luck...
[18:31] <thune3> Caer: maybe run transmission with idle i/o priority? ionice -c 3 -p `pidof transmission`
[18:33] <sebsebseb> vincent_: maybe your graphics card is failing or something,  have you tried a 10.04 Live CD? What about a 9.10 Live CD?   You make it sound like 9.10 was ok,  nothing wrong with downgrading back to it :)  Still supported untill the end of April next year.  Newer is not always better, depending on the user and hardware.
[18:33] <shishire> does pulse have it's own fifo like /dev/dsp?  I can't get /dev/dsp to work, I'm assuming it's because it's fake, and only emulating it.
[18:33] <Caer> thune3: thanks for the pointer, and I hadn't thought of IO, doesn't it influence the load average btw?
[18:34] <vladimirm> I cannot connect to the internet through terminal. Selecting network through NetworkManager Applet does the job, but when I'm in say recovery console, I can't.
[18:34] <inoh> hello, is there a way to extract pages from a pdf using document viewer or open office?
[18:34] <vincent_> i got a core 2 toshba laptop with a Intel GMA 950 gaphic chip should be supported
[18:34] <sbaker48> Any way to get gnome-terminal to send F1 keypresses to the session instead of bringing up the terminal help?
[18:34] <linxeh> inoh: yes - use pdfimages, part of xpdf package
[18:34] <aaron94> hey guys, i have a nagging issue
[18:34] <blankthemuffin> hi, running ubuntu 10.04, seems to be a problem with libncursesw5
[18:35] <aaron94> my display freezes after a while
[18:35] <qcjn> hi, i m online right now with a dell representative about the dell mini 1012, has anyone tryied it
[18:35] <linxeh> inoh: it will extract jpgs and bitmaps - if it is a bitmap it will extract to pnm etc, so you will need to convert it with imagemagick or similar to something you can use
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> sbaker48:  it does do that for sme apps i run in the terminal. ie: for 'mc' f1 does do f1 in mc.
[18:35] <greezmunkey> vladimirm: open a terminal and run: tail -f /var/log/syslog. Then in another terminal re-run your connect script and look for clues as to where it is failing in the syslog
[18:35] <Oer> sbaker48,  ctrl + alt + T for terminal
[18:35] <aaron94> and the only way to fix it is manual reboot
[18:35] <thune3> Caer: i'm not sure what you mean. nice/renice might also help.
[18:35] <shishire> inoh,  what format do you want them extracted to?
[18:35] <aaron94> no ctrl alt backspace
[18:35] <inoh> shishire: pdf
[18:35] <blankthemuffin> no wait I lied
[18:36] <shishire> inoh, so you want to split a long pdf into multiple pdf files?
[18:36] <inoh> i need to extract pages to print off as a blueprint
[18:36] <Dr_Willis> sbaker48:  gnome-terminal has settings where you can disable the F* shortcuts
[18:36] <erUSUL> inoh: print the pages you want to a new pdf
[18:36] <inoh> going to kinko to print them
[18:36] <NewWorld> zopiac:  Is there a way for to change the audio device used from the graphical volume control... so that the Master in alsamixer corresponds to the master in the graphical volume control?
[18:37] <inoh> going to kinko to print them?
[18:37] <inoh> err
[18:37] <shishire> inoh, erUSUL has it right.  Easiest way to get pages out of a pdf is to print them to another pdf
[18:37] <inoh> can that be done in open office?
[18:37] <vladimirm> greezmunkey: thanks, I will try that
[18:37] <greezmunkey> inoh: I think pdfmod will let you strip out pages like that
[18:37] <erUSUL> inoh: the default pdf viewer is all you need
[18:37] <macfire> Please, help with instalation the ubuntu 10.04, i m a problem if video, see that movie! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ki-h0GOrcE

[18:41] <vincent_> ahh no the Intel GMA 950  is not supported by 10.4 and on some forums they say it should install by default ....
[18:41] <aaron94> my display will randomly freeze, and ive already installed the packages suggested here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Testing/GEMLeak , but i'm using a proprietary driver
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> hdpb:  yuou sure you want to isntall to /dev/sdb1 and Not /dev/sdb ? sdb would be more normal place to install to.
[18:42] <hdpb> it's my wife desktop and i have no idea what killed grub in the first place
[18:42] <Dr_Willis> hdpb:  mbr normally is on the mbr of the drive. not a pariotti9on
[18:42] <hdpb> Dr_Willis: i'll give it a try
[18:42] <samba_> hello , no sound from my ICH9 what can I try ?
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> hdpb:  if you dont know why you want sdb1 then i have to imagione  You DONT need sdb1 :)

[18:51] <SolInvictus> Alright
[18:51] <SolInvictus> So I've got a quick question.
[18:51] <mastercif> ciao
[18:51] <mastercif> !list
[18:51] <SolInvictus> im installing ssh2 and i'm at the following prompt.
[18:51] <SolInvictus> libssh2 prefix? [/usr]
[18:51] <SolInvictus> what do i type?
[18:52] <NewWorld> You can press enter
[18:52] <vladimirm> greezmunkey: when the script completed, I could go to the given ip address which showed what my apache served, but nothing else
[18:52] <NewWorld> And it will use the default, '/usr'
[18:52] <SolInvictus> okay
[18:52] <SolInvictus> i pressed enter
[18:52] <alexander_> bazhang last command (assuming first command is the one on website) gave me an error removing b43
[18:52] <SwedeMike> SolInvictus: are you sure you're not compiling it, why are you doing that?
[18:52] <SolInvictus> I had to compile it manually with pecl
[18:52] <SolInvictus> as i couldn't just sudo apt-get it
[18:52] <trainer> recommendations for a decent, current, ubuntu-compatible video card for a home theater pc?
[18:52] <slidinghorn> !enter
[18:52] <bazhang> alexander_, which command was that?
[18:52] <vincent_> i gie up 10.4 is even too slow too look up problems
[18:52] <hdpb> abhi_nav: followed the directions in method 1 here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
[18:52] <alexander_> >	sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl sudo modprobe wl

[18:53] <abhi_nav> hdpb, see this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[18:53] <crashev> anyone knows what is this error caused by => trying to run javaws got: Bad installation. Error invoking Java VM (execv): No such file or directory ?
[18:53] <nimbiotics> hello can i find here support for firestater? i'm trying to brdige 2 network cons but someow it's not working
[18:53] <alexander_> what's the separation bazhang
[18:53] <fridgerator> everyone in this channel has heard of google right?
[18:54] <zopiac> NewWorld: sorry, i kep walking away :\ im not sure how i would change it
[18:54] <bazhang> fridgerator, do you have an ubuntu support question?
[18:54] <dcider> just had an update to kernel <IP_ADDRESS> on 10.04 and now the bookmarks in the dropdown places do not work, nothing happens when they are selected, any ideas? nothing on google...
[18:54] <edbian> fridgerator, What does this have to do with Ubuntu?
[18:54] <SolInvictus> Thanks for the help, guys.
[18:54] <finemann> Hi, i noticed that when i transfer files from my computer to my phone memory card it takes a long time. Is it because of the difference in file system (i mean from ext4 to FAT32)?
[18:54] <alexander_> I see bazhang "sudo" starts a command\
[18:54] <NewWorld> zopiac:  Yeh lol sorry, I afk'd too. Double click on the volume control. And somewhere in the menu at the top it should give you some options, no?
[18:54] <bazhang> alexander_, correct
[18:54] <edbian> dcider, purge and reinstall firefox.
[18:54] <ChogyDan> dcider: you got -24 already?
[18:55] <zopiac> NewWorld: im not exactly using a typical desktop setup; would it just open the Sounds properties window?
[18:55] <alexander_> bazhang ran both but the terminal returned nothing after each. no network under wireless
[18:55] <dcider> edbian, not fire fox, ubuntu main screen
[18:55] <NewWorld> zopiac:  I guess :S Maybe try right clicking the icon
[18:56] <zopiac> i don't have the icon :P i have no gnome-panels, by choice
[18:56] <princej88> is anyone else's gwibber being wierd today?
[18:56] <edbian> dcider, Then purge and reinstall nautilus
[18:56] <bazhang> alexander_, and re-running ifconfig ?
[18:56] <NewWorld> zopiac:  So where is graphical volume slider coming from?
[18:56] <dcider> ChogyDan, seems i do, happened last lite,
[18:56] <zopiac> does the window show tabs Sound effects, Hardware, Input, Outpus, Applications?
[18:56] <zopiac> NewWorld: it just pops up a slider in the upper right, not connected to anything
[18:56] <NewWorld> zopiac:  I guess. You sure that's ALSA and not PulseAudio?
[18:57] <zopiac> nope
[18:57] <Ricket> How might I diagnose a GDM problem? When I start my computer all I see is the desktop background, the GNOME bars don't ever appear, but swapping to tty1 and running /sbin/service/gdm restart fixes it
[18:57] <NewWorld> zopiac:  So the slider is on-screen display?
[18:57] <alexander_> more stuff this time bazhang http://paste.ubuntu.com/461689/
[18:57] <zopiac> yes
[18:57] <Ricket> service gdm restart *
[18:57] <dcider> edbian, never tried that one,
[18:57] <blankthemuffin> might want to walk back through /var/log/syslog Ricket
[18:57] <sobersabre> hi.
[18:58] <sobersabre> is there some restriction on setting up tun0 device  ?
[18:58] <alexander_> bazhang update I see my network now
[18:58] <sobersabre> I mean things like apparmor, etc.
[18:58] <bazhang> alexander_, seems it is recognized as eth1 what does iwconfig show (if anything); also what does sudo dhclient eth1   return as output
[18:58] <NewWorld> zopiac:  Sorry, I've become too muddled. I don't think i can help :(
[18:59] <romeufmello> why 10.4 freezes on boot?
[18:59] <romeufmello> why when click @ firefox
[18:59] <jeeves__> how can I get my laptop to see the attached LCD screen?  Currently, I have to plug my laptop into the 42" CD T.V. in order to use it.  the main pannel is blank
[18:59] <Ricket> blankthemuffin: thanks, I see a couple lines containing gdm, i'll google errors and see where i get
[18:59] <NewWorld> romeufmello:  How can you click on firefox if it freezes on boot?
[18:59] <zopiac> NewWorld: :( oh well I was going to purge my hard drives and reinstall everything soon anyways, that should fix it.
[19:00] <abhi_nav> !dualmonitor | jeeves__
[19:00] <romeufmello> NewWorld: actually are 2 cases, in 2 differents computers
[19:00] <abhi_nav> !xinerama
[19:00] <NewWorld> romeufmello:  It freezes when you click on firefox on one computer?
[19:00] <jeeves__> abhi_nav, the major problem is that when the T.V. isn't attached, I don't get video on the attached screen though
[19:01] <abhi_nav> jeeves__, I dunnoe except that links. read them
[19:01] <abhi_nav> !xinerama > jeeves__
[19:01] <dcider> edbian, if i remove nautilus how will i reinstall it, terminal?
[19:01] <alexander__> bazhang switched to wireless restarted firefox. everything appears in order am I good to go?
[19:01] <jeeves__> abhi_nav, no need to be a prick.  don't you think I've goolged it BEFORE coming here?
[19:01] <edbian> dcider, If you purge it it doesn't stop the currently running process.
[19:02] <dcider> edbian,  thx
[19:02] <abhi_nav> jeeves__, how can I help you when I dont know the solution?
[19:02] <edbian> dcider, So just purge it and then install it without restarting or anything else in between
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> abhi_nav:  magic! :)
[19:02] <bazhang> alexander__, you are connected via wired now? or wireless? if you can see the NIC and get an AP then you should definitely try it without ethernet, yes
[19:02] <abhi_nav> Dr_Willis, :)
[19:02] <dcider> edbian, will give it a try
[19:02] <jeeves__> abhi_nav, a simple "I don't know" would have been better than a condencing URL post
[19:03] <abhi_nav> jeeves__, I dont know.
[19:03] <bars0> Hi everybody! I tried to change console resolution in Ubuntu 10.04 by adding to grub.cfg file line vga=0x31B and then vga=795, but this doesn't work. I want to have 1280x1024, while working in console. Could anybody help me?
[19:03] <alexander__> I am now on wireless bazhang it seems good but I never ran those last two commands. (iwconfig and dhc etc.)
[19:03] <bazhang> jeeves__, no need for that language here
[19:03] <nonez> Question: I added an older NTFS drive to my system, how can I read whats on there before reformatting it?
[19:03] <edbian> dcider, There might even be a reinstall command in apt-get or aptitude but be sure to through the --purge flag on it if you go that route.
[19:03] <jeeves__> abhi_nav, there, was that so hard?
[19:03] <bazhang> alexander__, good news then
[19:03] <edbian> nonez, Does the drive show up in places -> computer ??
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> nonez:  you can re4ad/write ntfs just fine on linux.
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> nonez:  should show up in the places menu and let you mount/access it.
[19:04] <nonez> the drive shows up and sisk manager can mount and unmount it and tells me its ntfs - but I dont see anything on it

[19:16] <blain> it's mount points leonardo
[19:16] <manoj> is there any command to find that everything is working fine so i can paste it
[19:17] <fancybit> oh

[19:18] <manoj> my laptop model is "Vpcea16fg" with intel sound card built in
[19:18] <leonardo> But I installed ubuntu on windows, does it makes difference?

[19:18] <leonardo> Ok
[19:19] <ennui> I installed the package from the ppa:rvm/mplayer repo and I already had the x264 package installed but I'm afraid I don't see x264 as a codex when using $mencoder -ovc help. has anyone gotten this to work with the repo packages? Or do I need to configure and compile it from source myself?
[19:19] <meowsus> I have compressed a file in MS Windows using 7zip. It's password protected. Does anyone know why the password isn't accepted when trying to uncompress it (using 7zip) in ubuntu?
[19:19] <Priswell> fancybit: Can you give us more information? What kind of sound card you have?
[19:20] <frizi> meowsus: try to write the password in any other visible place and make sure that the entered password is the proper one
[19:22] <bribroder> caps lock?
[19:23] <frizi> right :]
[19:23] <hdpb> trying to rebuild grub via chroot method give me an error trying to chroot "'/bin/bash': no such file or directory"  what now?
[19:23] <Caer> meowsus: keep in mind that .7z sets passwords on a file basis
[19:23] <hemza> i can not use gnome or KDE envir.
[19:23] <meowsus> Caer, i think it's because i had p7zip installed instead. I didnt see a switch for a password command
[19:23] <frizi> hdpb try first  pwd
[19:24] <manoj> can anyone tell me how to find if my sound card is the correct card that i am using
[19:24] <erUSUL> hdpb: you are sure you did the mount correctly? what does « ls /mnt/ » says ?
[19:24] <manoj> its a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.4
[19:24] <cliassom> hi everyone! which program (daemon) should I start on the ubuntu in the xterm session to make network working?
[19:25] <hdpb> erUSUL: lists "boot, etc" etc. folder
[19:25] <blain> service network restart
[19:25] <blain> /etc/init.d/network restart
[19:25] <hdpb> frizi: how do you mean?
[19:25] <bribroder> cliassom, try /etc/init.d networking restart
[19:25] <erUSUL> hdpb: and « sudo chroot /mnt/  » fails ?
[19:25] <Caer> meowsus: I meant that you had to try with the same file in the same archive ; as for p7zip I'm told it's the same ; maybe try with an empty password?
[19:25] <frizi> hdpb never mind, just check the mounted partition

[19:28] <sumerixeddu> Dr_Willis i want to update the firmware at my linux . ubuntu 10.04 lts 64 bit
[19:28] <erUSUL> hdpb: try « sudo chroot sh » but the shell you will get will be very barebones ...
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> leonardo:  You mean 'why are drivers for device XXXX installed on linux but not on XP by default?'
[19:28] <leonardo> Yes
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> sumerixeddu:  that statement made no sence.
[19:28] <erUSUL> hdpb: how can it be that your hd install does not have bash ???? o.0!!!!
[19:28] <cliassom> bribroder: it requires root access. But what gnome starts during loading gnome-session?
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> leonardo:   because ubuntu is magical? or couild be that XP is OLD OLD OLD.. :)
[19:29] <VCoolio> helloer: maybe you deleted the window list applet? (right mouse click the panel, add to panel, search for it)
[19:29] <leonardo> lol
[19:29] <hdpb> eru
[19:29] <leonardo> Might be that
[19:29] <leonardo> But I still think xp is the best windows
[19:29] <hdpb> erUSUL: i have no idea.  it's my wife's desktop...  worked until i tried to boot this am
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> leonardo:  Most drivers for most supported hardware is included in ubuntu. or in the pacakge manager.
[19:29] <blain> it's not
[19:29] <Vroomfondle> helloer: right-click on the panel, and select "add to panel" and select "window list"
[19:29] <blain> leonardo can you ping www.google.com ?
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> leonardo:  XP is basically  drawing its last breath. MS is killing it soon..
[19:30] <leonardo> I'm on ubuntu I can ping anything :D
[19:30] <sumerixeddu> Dr_Willis i cannot make any cd/dvd`s i get always an error and i read on a forum that i have to make firmware update :-s
[19:30] <frizi> helloer : another problem could be that you switched to another workplace, click each of 1 2 3 4 icons and try to look for the toolbar with the windows
[19:30] <blain> the best windows was nt 4.0
[19:30] <guydoingstuff> im having an issue with grub.  For some reason i am having an issue with my normal livecd.  Can I use the grub2 files from a i386 ubuntu 10.04 cd on a amd64 system?
[19:30] <hdpb> erUSUL: still do sudo chroot sh?
[19:30] <aala> does anyone know how to set up utf-8 ncodig system wide? in lxde
[19:30] <erUSUL> hdpb: anyway try « sudo chroot sh » but the shell you will get will be very barebones ...
[19:30] <blain> leonardo then you don't need drivers
[19:30] <blain> am i right?
[19:30] <leonardo> I need them
[19:30] <erUSUL> aala: ubuntu uses utf-8 system wide by default
[19:30] <blain> what 4
[19:30] <hdpb> erUSUL: with or without /mnt?
[19:30] <leonardo> For xp
[19:31] <blain> i mean in ubuntu
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> sumerixeddu:  if you mean update the 'firmware' on your DVD burner.. then you should be saying so.  Ive never updated DVD drive firmware. But i belive the DVD drive maker normally has special tools for the task
[19:31] <blain> forget xp
[19:31] <leonardo> But its not my PC
[19:31] <fridgerator> leonardo then you have to go to the vendor's website and download them
[19:31] <erUSUL> hdpb: sorry « sudo chroot /mnt/ sh »
[19:31] <leonardo> Thats why I installed ubuntu lol
[19:31] <bribroder> how would you set ISO-8859-15 systemwide?
[19:31] <sutabi> Anyone know how to stop having gnome-terminal startup with the path of / rather then my home directory?
[19:31] <sumerixeddu> Dr_Willis and how can i access that tools ?
[19:32] <helloer> Thanks VCoolio,  Vroomfondle and frizi :)

[19:32] <hdpb> erUSUL: cannot run command sh no such file or directory
[19:32] <Dr_Willis> sumerixeddu:  i dont know what tools you even need.. the dvd drive makers web site should have info on flashiing their drives.  You may need to use their windows tools in windows to do it.
[19:32] <erUSUL> bribroder: why would anyone want to do that ? back to the nineties ?

[19:48] <scriptwarlock> manoj: k go ahead

[19:48] <scriptwarlock> hdpb: last option is reinstalling
[19:49] <LorgonJortle> I've tried both 10.04 x64 and 9.10 x64 and whenever I click any option on the main menu (other than "Boot From First HDD") I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.

[19:49] <patrick--> Hey all. How do i completely remove a package? I deleted a config file and reinstalled a package but the config file is still missing. any ideas?
[19:49] <patrick--> i want to reinstate the package
[19:49] <hdpb> disk utility say filesystem is not clean
[19:49] <erUSUL> hdpb: that's up to you to decide... but if /bin/ is gone ( or moved to /lost+found/ ) i would do a clean install. backup the /home/ dir of your wife and reinstall
[19:49] <MagicJ> does anyone know of a cheap touchscreen that works simoly with ubuntu - I need to create a POS system
[19:49] <erUSUL> patrick--: use purge instead of remove
[19:49] <patrick--> erUSUL: tried
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> patrick--:  You mean the system configs right?  the 'purge' option to apt-get removes configs and all. then reinstall
[19:49] <patrick--> when re-installing after, the file is missing
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> patrick--:  what config file are you talking about?
[19:50] <patrick--> What i did: Install apache2, removed *.conf then purged the config. reintalled the packages and the config files were still gone
[19:50] <patrick--> purged the package*
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> patrick--:  so you are refering to /etc/apache2/apache2.conf ?
[19:51] <io> patrick--: You don't need to manually remove the configuration files, that is the point of purge. Just use "sudo apt-get purge apache2".
[19:51] <patrick--> as one of them.
[19:51] <patrick--> Dr_Willis:
[19:52] <patrick--> io: i understood that. but its already been done.
[19:52] <patrick--> so i need to fix things.
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> Hmm...  sudo apt-get purge apache2
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> did NOT remove the /etc/apache2/ config files here.
[19:52] <patrick--> :)
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> i just tried it
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> they could bne part of some other apcache related pacakge
[19:52] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: maybe they are part of apache2-common
[19:52] <Saruji> hello everyone, really quick question, how can I create a file from command line in another directory using the "touch" command?
[19:52] <Saruji> Thank you in advance
[19:52] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: or some other package ...
[19:52] <patrick--> mpm-worker?
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> patrick--:  there ya go.. you try reinstalling apache2-common ?
[19:53] <jordanwb> Saruji: touch /path/to/file
[19:53] <erUSUL> Saruji: touch /path/to/dir/file
[19:53] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: apache2.2-common
[19:53] <patrick--> il have a go
[19:53] <erUSUL> !search /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[19:53] <io> Dr_Willis: It removes configuration files on my machine. From the apt-get manpage, "purge     purge is identical to remove except that packages are removed and purged (any configuration files are deleted too)."
[19:53] <Saruji> jordanwb, so the command would look like touch /home/test/file ?
[19:53] <erUSUL> !find /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> patrick--:   that apache2.2-common has the configs. :)
[19:53] <jordanwb> Saruji: Yeah
[19:54] <Saruji> jordanwb, thank you erUSUL thank you
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> weird. it dident stop the apache2 service untill i removed the configs. :) how could apache stay running after i removed it.
[19:54] <adam_> Can you tell me how about costs of sending products from the Canonical Store to Poland? Sorry for my English...
[19:54] <Dr_Willis> adam_:  you would ahve to check the store for their shipping costs.
[19:55] <qUaNtiC_> hi guys every website i enter i can only see images, no text at all, what does it mean? thanks
[19:55] <abhi_nav> !pl | adam_
[19:55] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: Unlinked files are only actually "deleted" by the filesystem once there are no open file handles to them. As long as a binary is running it won't be deleted from the filesystem.
[19:56] <patrick--> Dr_Willis: voila! :D works
[19:56] <patrick--> thank you
[19:56] <Dr_Willis> Jordan_U:  guess so. seems odd that the remioving the apache2 package dident stop apache first.  but remioving the configs/common package did.
[19:56] <BrazilianHacker> hi all
[19:57] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: Init scripts are not architecture dependant and therefore are kept in -common packages.
[19:57] <jordanwb> I'm trying to set up a dual screen setup with the nouveau driver, but when xorg starts it says "no devices detected". This is my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.org/388569
[19:57] <Saruji> jordanwb, hi jordan, i'm getting error message "no such file or directory", exact command was touch /foo/bar am i doing something wrong?
[19:57] <BrazilianHacker> yeah you do
[19:57] <alexander_> so I just ran sudo apt-get install wine and it says "could not get lock... unable to lock admin directory" what's up with this? I got the command off the ubuntu forums
[19:57] <jordanwb> Saruji: each directory in the path must exist
[19:58] <jordanwb> Saruji: the foo directory in / must exist
[19:58] <Jordan_U> Dr_Willis: So while it could be argued that removing apache2 should stop apache, it's not surprising that it doesn't.
[19:58] <Dr_Willis> i wonder if touch has the -p option to make the parrent  dirs
[19:58] <jordanwb> it does not
[19:58] <Saruji> jordanwb, hmm ok, that is the case, maybe i should check permissions?
[19:58] <bazhang> alexander_, another package manager is open, or you are installing something now
[19:58] <BrazilianHacker> hi  pondera
[19:58] <jordanwb> saruji: mkdir /foo; touch /foo/bar
[19:59] <BrazilianHacker> hi preecher
[19:59] <BrazilianHacker> hi jacob
[19:59] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: well it does not... becouse creating files is not what touch does... it is just a side effect of its main "job"
[19:59] <bazhang> BrazilianHacker, did you have a support question?
[19:59] <Saruji> jordanwb, hmm ok, thank you, question, would it amke a difference if it where done on a Unix ssytem?
[19:59] <bazhang> BrazilianHacker, please dont greet people as they join
[19:59] <jordanwb> saruji: I don't think so
[19:59] <Saruji> jordanwb, thanks
[19:59] <alexander_> thanks bazhang i'm slowly getting the "hang" of this OS ;) me like.
[20:00] <preecher> how do i get my window buttons back to the right side instead of the left side in 10.4

[20:00] <preecher> thx
[20:01] <zamba> how can i change the delay of the screen blanking in ubuntu?
[20:02] <zamba> or rather, it may blank quite fast, but i don't want to be prompted for a password unless a certain period of time has passed
[20:02] <jordanwb> zamba: System->Preferences->Screensaver
[20:02] <zamba> jordanwb: oh, wow, d'oh.. that was stupid of me :)
[20:03] <jordanwb> zamba: We all have our moments
[20:03] <LorgonJortle> Soo...

[20:04] <Guest66119> i ther any one
[20:05] <Guest66119> i need help plz
[20:05] <LorgonJortle> I had initially thought that it was a graphics card problem... why Lucid wasn't installing, but Karmic won't either, so I think it's a x64 problem. I have KArmic x86 installed now and everything works well.
[20:05] <Guest66119> need help
[20:05] <LorgonJortle> Any ideas?
[20:05] <pumpkin> Guest66119, just ask.
[20:06] <jordanwb> !details | Guest66119
[20:06] <dancrew32> how does one give permissions to their current user (not sudo) that would allow them to edit /opt/* (recursive) ?
[20:06] <Shar16> I hate when people ask such broad questions as this but, in your experiences, is Ubuntu LTS well suited as a stable web server ?
[20:06] <Guest66119> so thanks i am new backtrack
[20:07] <jordanwb> I'm trying to set up a dual screen setup with the nouveau driver, but when xorg starts it says "no devices detected". This is my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.org/388569

[20:08] <Guest66119> i need how to install sky star2 in backtrack4
[20:08] <bazhang> Guest66119, backtrack is not supported here
[20:08] <bazhang> Guest66119, /join #backtrack-linux
[20:08] <Guest66119> but as lunix
[20:09] <jordanwb> Guest66119: lunix
[20:09] <Guest66119> it the same i think
[20:09] <bazhang> Guest66119, not here
[20:09] <jordanwb> Backtrack != Ubuntu

[20:12] <eisforr> irc.rizon.org
[20:12] <ikonia> eisforr: ?
[20:13] <scriptwarlock> dancrew32: sudo nautilus?
[20:13] <jordanwb> dancrew32: sudo chown -R username /opt
[20:13] <eisforr> Aw, crap. Sorry.
[20:13] <ikonia> not to worry
[20:13] <jordanwb> dancrew32: but it's not a good idea
[20:14] <AndrewX192> Is there a alt ubuntu netbook install cd?
[20:14] <dancrew32> jordanwb, what are the consequences of chowning this directory recurrsively?
[20:15] <jordanwb> dancrew32: I don't know, but it's really not a good idea to change the ownership of files outside of your home directory
[20:15] <dancrew32> ah okay.. but would it really be that dangerous if my opt groups were just for local development?
[20:15] <io> !unr | AndrewX192
[20:15] <io> AndrewX192: Is that what you meant? :-)
[20:15] <dancrew32> for example, xampp (lammp) installed there, same with nodejs
[20:16] <AndrewX192> No, I'm looking for the altnerate install CD.
[20:16] <jordanwb> dancrew32: you can install apache, php, etc using the package manager
[20:16] <jordanwb> dancrew32: but if that's what you were doing then no I don't think there'd be a problem
[20:16] <bazhang> AndrewX192, install a base system the the ubuntu-netbook-remix package?
[20:16] <dancrew32> okay cool. thanks jordanwb
[20:17] <AndrewX192> bazhang, Like from the Ubuntu Server install cd?
[20:17] <jordanwb> AndrewX192: no there's a minimal CD that you should use
[20:17] <KnifeySpooney> Hi, I read a comment on a blog about installing a preemptive kernel to increase boot speed.. how can I do this? I'm not sure exactly what it means, does it mean a kernel specific for my CPU?
[20:17] <bazhang> AndrewX192, from the alternate is what you were asking I thought, but that should work as well
[20:17] <bazhang> KnifeySpooney, the rt-kernel?
[20:18] <KnifeySpooney> bazhang: sorry I don't know what that is
[20:18] <jordanwb> KnifeySpooner: sudo apt-get install linux-preempt
[20:18] <jordanwb> KnifeySpooner: Also, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-preempt
[20:18] <bazhang> KnifeySpooney, for audio work mostly (realtime iirc)
[20:18] <AndrewX192> bazhang, well the only reason why I want to do this is to get the installed size down
[20:18] <AndrewX192> bazhang, I
[20:18] <AndrewX192> er
[20:19] <bazhang> AndrewX192, should work, never tried it myself
[20:19] <AndrewX192> bazhang, I'm going to make some pretty big changes to this install, and have a dual SD/HDD boot
[20:19] <jordanwb> KnifeySpooney: Also, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-preempt linux-preempt
[20:19] <jordanwb> arrg
[20:19] <KnifeySpooney> bazhang, why wouldn't ubuntu use this by default if it's faster?
[20:19] <KnifeySpooney> jordanwb, I couldn't find linux-preempt but `apt-cache search preempt` shows linux-rt .. is that it?
[20:20] <bazhang> KnifeySpooney, no idea there sorry; rt-kernel is for special case uses (as in audio production)
[20:20] <jordanwb> KnifeySpooney: Which version of Ubuntu are you using?
[20:20] <rallias> is it possible to use a Ubuntu Live CD to install GRUB on a windows instalation?
[20:20] <KnifeySpooney> jordanwb, ubuntu 10.04
[20:21] <bazhang> !info linux-preempt
[20:21] <jordanwb> KnifeySpooney: Try enabling the universe reposity, System->Administration->Software Sources
[20:21] <jordanwb> linux-preempt does exist in lucid I've got it installed
[20:22] <bazhang> jordanwb, got a link from packages.ubuntu.com ?
[20:22] <KnifeySpooney> jordanwb, I have all of those repositories enabled
[20:22] <KnifeySpooney> (and i just ran an update)
[20:23] <jordanwb> I don't have any extra repos enabled besides the Ubuntu-tweak repo and a repo for 64 bit flash
[20:23] <KnifeySpooney> jordanwb, it looks like it's for amd64 only? http://packages.ubuntu.com/hu/lucid/linux-preempt
[20:23] <jordanwb> KnifeySpooney: That would be why I have it available
[20:24] <KnifeySpooney> ok. do you suppose linux-rt is the same thing for x86?
[20:24] <dp_> i am not getting the welcome page after running the install script of drupal ...can anyone help
[20:25] <jordanwb> KnifeySpooney: I do not know
[20:25] <bazhang> KnifeySpooney, low latency for servers it appears
[20:25] <jordanwb> dp_: you would have to talk to someone on the drupal forums
[20:25] <jordanwb> I'm trying to set up a dual screen setup with the nouveau driver, but when xorg starts it says "no devices detected". This is my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.org/388569
[20:27] <trism> KnifeySpooney: you probably don't need the rt kernel unless you're doing audio work, real-time doesn't mean higher performance, it just imposes constraints on when operations start and how long they take
[20:28] <mdg> Hi.  I accidentally deleted the sound control icon on my panel and restart panel plugins didn't get it back - what can I do?
[20:29] <trism> mdg: it is part of the indicator applet, so add that back to your panel
[20:30] <mdg> Hi.  I accidentally deleted the sound control icon on my panel and restart panel plugins didn't get it back - what can I do?
[20:30] <fridgerator> mdg did you read what trism just said?

[20:30] <kop_> echo in here ?

[20:55] <aubreyja> I don't have AIM as an option on empathy - is that fixable?
[20:55] <scriptwarlock> !sleep
[20:55] <scriptwarlock> hehehe
[20:56] <xangua> aubreyja: aim is from aol isn't it¿¿ maybe an aol account¿¿
[20:57] <aubreyja> xangua: I've got a well used aim chat account, it's just that I can't configure empathy to connect to it because it doesn't give me that option.
[20:57] <lucianoneves> ola
[20:57] <Maletor> Somebody got rid of the rolo project for Lucid. How do I add it back in?
[20:57] <Gandalf84> Hi
[20:58] <xangua> aubreyja: right now i am not in empathy but it looks like you have to go to the account setting window and mark the accounts that you want to conect automatically
[20:58] <Gandalf84> it's possibly to acquire radio signal by wireless card?
[20:59] <_jesse_> Gandalf84: like FM/AM? no, different wavelengths
[20:59] <_jesse_> or frequencies rather
[20:59] <aubreyja> xangua: when I do that AIM is not an option - I think it is *supposed* to be available, but it's not available on my empathy client.
[20:59] <aubreyja> As I understand it, AIM support came relatively late to empathy
[21:00] <Gandalf84> there is a bandpass filter in the WLAN card?
[21:00] <aubreyja> I think that since I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 my "new" empathy may be suffering from some legacy 9.10 issues
[21:00] <xangua> aubreyja: what version of ubuntu are you using¿¿ i see aim as an option in lucid lynx
[21:01] <xangua> then try to reinstall empathy and empathy-common or to delete your empathy preferences aubreyja
[21:02] <Gandalf84> can i acquire radio signal for some times?
[21:02] <aubreyja> xangua: I did try this - I'll do it again for good measure. just a sec.
[21:05] <spiky> i have a prob think i know the ans, I turn on laptop I dont even get the Dell start up ble line on screen laptop starts i think because light shows hard drive working just nothing on screen at all
[21:09] <Dr_Willis> spiky:  if you are not even getting the bios/post messages taht show up befor GRUB - then you got some hardware issues
[21:09] <spiky> i,m thinking graphics card?
[21:11] <LorgonJortle> Does anyone have an idea why both 9.10 x64 and 10.04 x64 would give me a black screen with a blinking cursor after choosing to install?
[21:12] <LorgonJortle> It does so when I try to boot live, too.
[21:13] <abhi_nav> LorgonJortle, is your computer 64 bit?
[21:13] <LorgonJortle> Yes.
[21:13] <LorgonJortle> Intel Core 2 Quad
[21:13] <Vroomfondle> my laptop used to do that before 10.04. I think it was down to missing support for the motherboard.
[21:13] <LorgonJortle> I've Win7 x64, too.
[21:13] <sharplinux> LorgonJortle: I had that problem with x64 installation discs on one of my computers, but I chalked it up to a hardware issue (bad CD ROM) without really knowing if it was the cause
[21:14] <LorgonJortle> I've used 4 different discs, and I've checked the MD5 of the two ISOs I've used.
[21:14] <LorgonJortle> No problems.
[21:14] <Gandalf84> there is a way to acquire TV and Radio signal with a TV card? i want to analize the signal in time and frequency
[21:15] <sharplinux> LorgonJortle: can you try a bootable USB?
[21:15] <logdog> hi
[21:15] <_jesse__> Gandalf84: sounds like you need special equipment, you can capture a cable signal with a tv tuner though
[21:15] <_jesse__> Gandalf84: assume there is similar devices for radio
[21:15] <LorgonJortle> sharplinux: I could... I guess I'll try that next.
[21:15] <logdog> I need help finding safe Graphics mode in the 10.04 live CD
[21:16] <Gandalf84> i have a TV/radio card.....i want to acquire the signal....to record it and watch it in frequency and time.... i don't know what kind of software have to use
[21:16] <Purpley> Hey guys does anyone know of any support for the 10.04 kernel for 3dsp bluew?
[21:16] <vlt> Hello. How can I attach an android phone's music collection as device in rhythmbox? There's a directory /MP3 on the mounted phone.
[21:16] <Purpley> They made a driver for 9.10 but I dont think it will work
[21:17] <Purpley> vlt, You have to mount your phone
[21:17] <alkisg> Purpley: usb or pci<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:17] <Purpley> On the actual phone, on the status bar pull down and youll see usb mass sotrage
[21:17] <vlt> Purpley: It is
[21:17] <Purpley> PCI
[21:17] <Purpley> vlt: can you explore you phone?
[21:17] <vlt> Purpley: Yes, but how to let it appear in rhythmbox?
[21:17] <alkisg> Purpley: Still waiting for that one... I don't know what's taking them so long, the usb version has been ready for a long tim.
[21:18] <Purpley> vlt: Hmm it should work automatically
[21:18] <Purpley> alkisg: Argh!
[21:18] <Purpley> alkisg: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9323230&postcount=38 this might help us
[21:18] <alkisg> Purpley: here's the link, to wait for<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:18] <aubreyja> xangua: completely uninstalled empathy, removed empath preferences from gconf, reinstalled and still no AIM option
[21:19] <Purpley> alkisg: Think they gave up?
[21:19] <logdog> I need help finding safe Graphics mode in the 10.04 live CD PLS help
[21:19] <alkisg> Purpley: I'm not sure... they opened source the driver, I hope that doesn't mean that they gave up... I think we should email them for support...
[21:19] <xangua> aubreyja: mmmm no idea then, it shows for me :S
[21:20] <edocpord> if I cant find a linux driver for my USB wireless adapter am I totally out of luck? or is there somethign else I can try?
[21:20] <Purpley> alkisg: And no one has adapted it to work with 10.04?
[21:20] <vlt> Purpley: It doesn't :/  iPhone works but not android. Where does rhythmbox know that it has to handle the directory /media/xyz/MP3 as a deparate device?
[21:20] <sharplinux> logdog: see if this helps: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[21:20] <reverse821> how do i get rid of an installation including the package file?
[21:20] <edocpord> its this adapter: http://www.wireless-driver.com/download/belkin/belkin-f7d2101-wireless-windows-drivers-software.htm
[21:20] <jaypro> i have a program that requires libmysqlclient.co.15. do you guys know what package i need to install?
[21:20] <alkisg> Purpley: no, I don't think so. Sure we can try installing an older kernel but personally I don't mind waiting, it's for my daughter's netbook so I haven't bothered to try.
[21:21] <aubreyja> xangua: do you know where empathy account information is stored - evidently not in gconf - the other accounts I registered still show up.
[21:21] <jaypro> i tried to install libmysqlclient-dev, but it doesnt work
[21:21] <Purpley> vlt: Im not sure, my android phone has worked with rythmbox but then again its sd card is ext3
[21:21] <logdog> The safe mode option is not there!
[21:21] <Purpley> alkisg: Would anything bad happen if I tried installing the old kernel without a fresh install?
[21:22] <Purpley> Because im really stuck here and sick of all this vista nonsense
[21:22] <edocpord> like is there some kind of generic realtek wireless driver that might work with that or something?
[21:22] <sharplinux> jaypro: it may be that your program doesn't know where that file is installed  (assuming you're installing from source?)
[21:22] <_jesse__> !who | Gandalf84
[21:22] <_jesse__> Gandalf84: but on that note, I'm not familiar with the type of software you'd need
[21:22] <Ox8O> I'm trying to remove a broken package i installed
[21:22] <alkisg> Purpley: no installing multiple kernels shouldn't be a problem. You'll need the linux headers too for dkms to compile the driver headers I think...
[21:23] <Gandalf84> _jesse__ ok
[21:23] <Ox8O> it won't get removed
[21:23] <logdog> What does it mean if there is no Safe graphics option?????
[21:23] <Ox8O> used all type of forcing
[21:23] <Purpley> alkisg: Where might those be located online?
[21:23] <Ox8O> dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq
[21:23] <Ox8O> non of them worked
[21:23] <alkisg> Purpley: which one do you want?
[21:23] <Ox8O> tried to search for it in dpkg's cache and couldn't find it
[21:23] <reverse821> Ox8O: i had that problem earlier today, however i reinstalled ubuntu then :s
[21:23] <iksik> http://reinep.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/ubuntu-10-04-a.jpg - whats that? :|
[21:23] <reverse821> it's a really annoying problem
[21:24] <iksik> is it gnome shell ?
[21:24] <Ox8O> reverse821, that's not a solution
[21:24] <reverse821> iksik: ubuntu netbook edition
[21:24] <iksik> oh
[21:24] <vlt> What makes rhythmbox decide what mounted device to show in its list of media players?
[21:24] <reverse821> Ox8O: i know... but i wasn't done setting up the system anyway and i wanted it all clean
[21:24] <reverse821> and in the end it was so scrambled i just reinstalled
[21:24] <Purpley> alkisg: I already downloaded the actual .deb kernel from http://mirror.globo.com/ubuntu/archive/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.31-14-generic_2.6.31-14.48_i386.deb but where might the headers be?
[21:24] <Petertatt> hello S.O.S.
[21:24] <logdog> What does it mean if there is no Safe graphics option????? PLS help
[21:24] <reverse821> Ox8O: do you know the path to the apt cache? i can't remember it
[21:25] <jaypro> sharplinux ahh hrmm.... well, yeah it says "no such file or directory". assuming i installed the right package, youre probably right. i'll look into it. Thanks!
[21:25] <reverse821> it was like /var/apt/archives but i can't find it anymore
[21:25] <Dr_Willis> reverse821:  /var/cache/apt/
[21:25] <reverse821> Dr_Willis: thanks :)
[21:25] <Petertatt> i've finally gotten into a chat room but i had to switch to windows to do it.  why won't chat work in ubuntu? (i have only this dual-boot laptop)
[21:25] <logdog> Please help this is my last hope
[21:25] <Dr_Willis> Petertatt:  depends on how you are trying to chat
[21:26] <alkisg> Purpley: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/i386/linux-headers-2.6.31-14-generic/download ?
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> logdog:  clarify the exact issue you are having to the channel.
[21:26] <logdog> I need the Safe graphics option in the 10.04 live CD but I cannot find it
[21:26] <sharplinux> jaypro: just a thought - hope it helps :-)
[21:26] <Purpley> alkisg: Oh durr sorry :)
[21:27] <Petertatt> well i've tried to use the mail tab in the upper right corner of ubuntu. i can't figure it out or it doesn't work.  Also, going online to irc chat rooms in firefox brings me to errors instead of rooms or rooms where i'm the only one in it
[21:27] <sharplinux> logdog: I was looking at the 10.04 install disc just now and I can see that the documentation is out of date :-/
[21:27] <Petertatt> i have many many questions i don't want to spam. pm?
[21:27] <logdog> uh oh :(
[21:28] <logdog> what should I do??????
[21:28] <Petertatt> i need to figure out ubuntu because i hate windows.  i'm normally a mac user by choice.
[21:28] <sharplinux> logdog: read this: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[21:28] <abhi_nav> !manual | Petertatt
[21:28] <logdog> thank you
[21:29] <sharplinux> logdog: hope it helps - it helped me through a recent install
[21:30] <Swian> Petertatt I just got my wife off her iMac and onto ubuntu a few months back
[21:30] <Petertatt> i'll check that out thanks,  but i've been surfing forums within ubuntu to no avail.  i'm not a novice computer user and i have very specific questions about basic ubuntu usage
[21:30] <Petertatt> or should be basic
[21:30] <nicofs> can somebody help me troubleshoot my mobile broadband? it's not connecting - and i don't know why. (there is a signal, i tested via smartphone)
[21:30] <Petertatt> i've been even learning UNIX.
[21:30] <kpry12> hi
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> Petertatt:  why not use an IRC client to get to irc chat rooms not firefox. :) they tend to work better.
[21:30] <abhi_nav> Petertatt, first go through that ubuntu manual, if still you have question you can sure ask here. :)
[21:30] <Swian> Petertatt we got all her address book, iCal stuff transfered over
[21:31] <lhavelund> When I try to start php5-cgi, I get PHP Deprecated:  Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/cgi/conf.d/mcrypt.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0 -- that file contains just mcrypt.so and a comment on line 1
[21:31] <lhavelund> This makes php5-cgi fail to start. Any clues how to fix this?
[21:31] <reverse821> so where do sources added via add-apt-repo go? they're not in sources.list?
[21:31] <Purpley> Is there a way to fix the grub bootloader directly from windows 7? Im talking about the thing when windows writes over grubs bootloader so you cant boot into linux
[21:32] <_jesse_> !grub | Purpley
[21:32] <duffydack> Purpley, just boot a livecd and sudo grub-install /dev/sdX  (X = what your hd is)
[21:32] <jahn10> newly, my notebook still hangs to a non known time and at the display i see only a little white cube in the top left corner, any idea?
[21:32] <Petertatt> i'm worried to leave the web page (this).  because this is where everything has been pointing me. #ubuntu  i've done nothing but stressful pointless online reading.  i need a person   S.O.S.
[21:33] <Purpley> duffydack: Very well
[21:33] <sharplinux> reverse821: look in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ directory
[21:33] <abhi_nav> Petertatt, you first read that manual.
[21:33] <reverse821> sharplinux: got it, thanks :)
[21:33] <duffydack> Purpley, its that simple.  there is no windows grub installer I know of..
[21:34] <Petertatt> i've been reading the manual in sections that apply to what i need to know.  it makes stuff sound simple and doesn't address my problems
[21:34] <xangua> what problems do you have Petertatt¿¿
[21:34] <Purpley> duffydack: I know i just hate booting up to live cds :P
[21:34] <abhi_nav> Petertatt, what is your problem?
[21:34] <er0th>
[21:35] <Petertatt> i'll type "sudo apt-get whatever" into terminal to download and it fails 90% of the time
[21:35] <duffydack> Purpley, if it does the job, suck it up :)
[21:35] <Dr_Willis> Petertatt:  'sudo apt-get install mc'   fails ? whats the error message?
[21:35] <abhi_nav> Petertatt, why not use software center?
[21:35] <tonii> My upgrade to 2010.1 seems to be working.
[21:35] <Dr_Willis> Petertatt:  also be sure to do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade'  If things seem messed up.
[21:36] <Petertatt> adding repositories in software center or whatever failed when i was following a tutorial
[21:36] <xangua> Petertatt: what repositories¿
[21:36] <Petertatt> i tried "sudo apt-get update    and it went to 98% and stayed for hours in a loop
[21:36] <abhi_nav> !details | Petertatt
[21:36] <Petertatt> i don't remember
[21:36] <er0th> lol
[21:36] <Petertatt> 10.0.4
[21:36] <duffydack> Purpley, maybe someone else can say yes/no on this, but would ubuntu portable (the ubuntu running while running windows) be able to grub-install?
[21:36] <xangua> ¿¿
[21:37] <DasEi> Petertatt: do as dwillis said and paste(bin) the output here
[21:37] <Petertatt> it hard because i'm in windows right now
[21:37] <BiggFREE> Hi
[21:37] <Petertatt> how do i get here from ubuntu
[21:37] <Petertatt> ?
[21:37] <er0th> hi
[21:37] <n0a1ias> hey
[21:37] <n0a1ias> what are the best compiz settings?
[21:37] <DasEi> Petertatt: ir.ubuntu.com is the server, pidgin can be used or other
[21:37] <jacob_> Hey guys, I have an HP pavilion a1657c with a remote control and an IR receiver, usually this kit is made to be used with windows media center, but i'm using now ubuntu and I'm wondering is there a way to configure the remote and the IR receiver with ubuntu, thx in advance
[21:38] <Petertatt> every time i try to connect to irc chat while in ubuntu i get nowhere. it can't connect to the room or i'm the only one in there
[21:38] <alkisg> Petertatt: one way is with firefox: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu
[21:38] <IConrad01> n0a1ias: The "best" compiz settings are determined by whatever customization you prefer.
[21:38] <n0a1ias> like the ones u see in the videos
[21:38] <DasEi> Petertatt: i *typo^ irc.ubuntu.com is the server, pidgin can be used or other
[21:38] <er0th> hey guys, why doesn't pidgin work anymore?
[21:38] <IConrad01> n0a1ias: Me, I have four desktops each with their own icons, I'm using Emerald to correct Mr. Shuttleworth's UI error, etc.
[21:38] <xangua> Petertatt: try xchat to join irc
[21:38] <Petertatt> i know it sounds crazy but i've followed tutorials went online ect ect
[21:38] <IConrad01> er0th: What error are you getting related to pidgin in /var/log/messages?
[21:38] <Petertatt> i downloaded xchat
[21:38] <n0a1ias> emerald?
[21:38] <IConrad01> er0th: (You'll need root to read it.)
[21:39] <xangua> er0th: define doesn't work and with what account, mine does
[21:39] <DasEi> Petertatt: can't you even but buntu anymore ?
[21:39] <Alien_FX_Fiend> xchat is nice
[21:39] <IConrad01> n0a1ias: It's a window decorator.
[21:39] <Alien_FX_Fiend> i prefer chatzilla though
[21:39] <n0a1ias> ok thanks
[21:39] <DasEi> er0th: mine does fine
[21:39]  * duffydack uses mouse gestures to access scale and expo and to access desktops.. s
[21:39] <DasEi> Petertatt: can't you even boo buntu anymore ?
[21:39] <abhi_nav> boo?
[21:39] <Petertatt> downloading xchat gave me a folder named xchat...   with non human files in it. where's the program
[21:39] <Alien_FX_Fiend> it can be customized with css and javascript plugins
[21:40] <DasEi> Petertatt: can't you even boot buntu anymore ?, typo -king here today
[21:40] <oka> this is xchat
[21:40] <xangua> Petertatt: you can't install from repositories¿
[21:40] <abhi_nav> Petertatt, application=>internet=>xchat
[21:40] <Petertatt> everything everydownload seems to end in a deadend, failure, or error
[21:40] <nicofs> can somebody help me troubleshoot my mobile broadband? it's not connecting - and i don't know why. (there is a signal, i tested via smartphone)
[21:40] <IConrad01> xangua: I think he's on Windows at the moment.
[21:40] <IConrad01> Petertatt: What OS are you running *right this moment* ?
[21:40] <abhi_nav> Petertatt, you need some one personally face to face to solve your problem. :)

[21:41] <n0a1ias> patrick--, when the screen goes black, is there a little white icon in the top left corner?
[21:41] <sharplinux> Petertatt: can you boot into Ubuntu while staying on Windows?
[21:41] <DasEi> Petertatt: can't you even boot buntu anymore
[21:41] <IConrad01> Petertatt: XChat isn't compatible w/ Windows.
[21:41] <sharplinux> Petertatt: (might save the trouble)
[21:41] <patrick--> n0a1ias: negative
[21:42] <Petertatt> no dual-boot option at startup
[21:42] <n0a1ias> like you would see in terminal
[21:42] <Petertatt> i mean i have a dual boot option at startup
[21:42] <wumba> can anyone reccomend a good PCI-X 8 port raid controller for debian/ubuntu?  I am looking at the HP Smart Array 600...

[21:42] <DasEi> Petertatt: can you still boot ubuntu or not ?
[21:42] <Petertatt> i downloaded xchat for ubuntu within ubuntu
[21:42] <n0a1ias> what is the defult button to start rain on ur desktop?
[21:42] <sharplinux> Petertatt: I mean, can you boot up your computer and use it alongside your girlfriend's?
[21:42] <vlt> A block device /dev/sdd1 is mounted to /media/<UUID> with a /media/<UUID>/MP3 directory. How can I make this appear as device in rhythmbox?
[21:42] <jahn10> n0a1ias: this is also my problem, with the white cube, what is it?
[21:43] <Petertatt> no this is the only computer with wireless card
[21:43] <sharplinux> heh, Petertatt's getting attacked by helpful people :-)
[21:43] <DasEi> Petertatt: you come up with more and more details, could you repeat all your issues in one question ?
[21:43] <Petertatt> i'm trying to keep up
[21:44] <patrick--> When booting the Ubuntu Installdisc i end up on a black screen and it throws me to another tty - can somone assist?
[21:44] <Swian> just dive in and install it
[21:44] <n0a1ias> jahn10, open terminal, and look at the text icon, if its like that just hit the reset button on your computer to do a hard reset
[21:44] <n0a1ias> what is the defult button to start rain on ur desktop?
[21:44] <IConrad01> vlt: Simply scanning for media in rhythmbox didn't do anything?
[21:44] <IConrad01> Petertatt: When you say "downloaded" did you do it via Synaptic or did you pull it from a webpage?
[21:44] <dp_> howdo we send direct or pvt msg to the user ?
[21:45] <Petertatt> i could tell more info if i could re-login here #ubuntu.  But i've had trouble getting on chat within ubuntu.  even while in firefox  @ http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu
[21:45] <Petertatt> whu
[21:45] <sharplinux> Petertatt: it would help for you to be on Ubuntu while in channel... can you try booting into it and using xchat or Chatzilla (Firefox addon)?
[21:45] <Petertatt> why
[21:45] <IConrad01> dp_: /msg UserName
[21:45] <DasEi> dp_: first ask for, then /query <nick>
[21:45] <n0a1ias> click their names
[21:45] <Vroomfondle> dp_: user on your machine, or on irc?
[21:45] <n0a1ias> what is the defult button to start rain on ur desktop?
[21:45] <BluesKaj> hmm, I reinstalled ubuntu to / , however I ended up with a full install on / , it should have installed just the OS ...what did i forget ? I now have 10G /home and 340G /home
[21:45] <Petertatt> xchat downloaded but i don't understand the folder it left me with.  no program to open just random looking files inside.
[21:45] <sharplinux> Petertatt: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/16/
[21:45] <IConrad01> sharplinux: Heh.  I run Pidgin.
[21:45] <Petertatt> what's pidgin
[21:45] <duffydack> maybe Petertatt downloaded the xchat source
[21:46] <IConrad01> Petertatt: Pidgin is a multi-protocol IM client.  Like Trillian, for Windows.
[21:46] <IConrad01> But this is cross-platform, which Trillian is not.
[21:46] <xangua> or pidgin.....for windows
