[10:23] <airtonix> srthmb, ppa stands for Personal Package Archive. its a service hosted on launchpad where various people and groups provide apt repositories that are kept relatively more up to date than the offical repos
[10:23] <srthmb> airtonix, Ah, thank you :)
[10:23] <sprung> oh is that what it stands for. i tried to look up what it stood for several times
[10:24] <j0rd> phlak_user: no i added it in a while ago. been trying to fix this for a long time. Commented in `timeout 60;`
[10:24] <airtonix> srthmb, i myself am using the nvidia one for my netbooks nvidia ion gfx card
[10:24] <tuxrocks> j0rd: is you interface wlan0?
[10:24] <ross__> llutz: graci
[10:24] <j0rd> tuxrocks: yes, wlan0
[10:24] <tuxrocks> goto terninal j0rd and type dhclient wlan0
[10:24] <srthmb> airtonix, I have an nvidia 8800GT, so I am kinda stumped where to look
[10:25] <tuxrocks> *terminl
[10:25] <j0rd> tuxrocks: ya, just did. works fine. so now what?
[10:25] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: I think its working, lol
[10:25] <airtonix> srthmb, my desktop has that card...
[10:25] <sprung> What is the video card manufacturer I should be getting if I were to buy a gfx card today?
[10:25] <j0rd> tuxrocks: because that doesn't solve my problem
[10:25] <sprung> obviously not ati, what?
[10:25] <beanage> srthmb, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1019288  this might be helpful.
[10:25] <airtonix> srthmb, you should not be having these problems. mine can do 1920x1680
[10:25] <tuxrocks> j0rd: can you now connect
[10:25] <aaaoooaaa> airtonix: which is weird, how would I go about doing it manually? Obviously I have all the necessary plugins
[10:25] <srthmb> airtonix, Argh.
[10:26] <airtonix> aaaoooaaa, not entirely sure sorry
[10:26] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i am connected. but my issue is not being able to change the NetworkManager DNS timeout from 45 seconds. this problem still exists
[10:26] <sprung> i have an old nvidia geforce 6100 and 720p video skips like crazy
[10:26] <sprung> whats the video card i should get
[10:26] <airtonix> srthmb, remove the current nvidia drivers from the 'hardware drivers' interface first, then restart and get back to me
[10:26] <beanage> aaaoooaaa, what did you end up using to rip it?
[10:26] <srthmb> airtonix, rgr.
[10:27] <tuxrocks> j0rd: so how do you know its timeout...are you not able to connect sometime
[10:27] <beanage> Any of you guys have a jailbroken iphone?
[10:27] <j0rd> tuxrocks: yes. not able to connect if I don't get an IP in 45 seconds. Which happens on this one particular wifi connection i use a couple times a week
[10:28] <psycho_oreos> !offtopic | beanage
[10:28] <phlak_user> j0rd: can you set the dhcp timeout to 45s in the command line and check if that is the cause
[10:28] <j0rd> tuxrocks: it connects about 30% of the time. but usually i have to move my comuter to a different part of the room
[10:28] <j0rd> after i get an IP it usually works for the day
[10:28] <aaaoooaaa> beanage: im in the process of ripping, via rythmbox
[10:29] <beanage> aaaoooaaa, kewl.
[10:29] <matt__> airtonix, alright, rebooted.
[10:30] <airtonix> srthmb, one sec i'll get url for you
[10:30] <srthmb> airtonix, alright
[10:31] <airtonix> srthmb, you are using lucid though right ?
[10:31] <srthmb> airtonix, yes, I am using 10.04
[10:32] <airtonix> srthmb, have a go with these instructions : http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html
[10:32] <srthmb> airtonix, will do
[10:32] <tuxrocks> j0rd: may be your dns is slow...try pinging the dns for and tell time of ping
[10:33] <Macpetersen> dose the HP 2133 stille need the CPU Scale fix with Ubuntu 10.04 UNR ??
[10:35] <j0rd> tuxrocks: either way I have to use their DNS servers, i'm stuckk with it
[10:35] <j0rd> tuxrocks: so even if they're slow, i still have to use them
[10:35] <Caffeinepill> puts("Hello world ^__^");
[10:35] <Caffeinepill> :D
[10:36] <j0rd> tuxrocks: because this happens before i can get conncetion. after i get connection things work fine. Until I lose my IP, which happnes every hour (not an issue though, just what happens on this public connection)
[10:36] <srthmb> airtonix, did you have to use the ppa drivers for your card?
[10:37] <j0rd> tuxrocks: problem is DHCP timeout is hardcoded into network manager from what I can tell
[10:37] <Caffeinepill> Excuse me, but is using Lubuntu would be beneficial than using Ubuntu in someways?
[10:37] <j0rd> NetworkManager/src/dhcp-manager/nm-dhcp-manager.c:#define NM_DHCP_TIMEOUT   45 /* DHCP timeout, in seconds */
[10:37] <Misterio> Caffeinepill: Lubuntu is faster than Ubuntu
[10:37] <Misterio> Caffeinepill: It uses lxde instead of gnome
[10:37] <airtonix> srthmb, well i dont, but my computers definitely run better when i do.
[10:38] <Caffeinepill> Misterio: Is that the only thing that differs than the original Ubuntu which makes it better to use?
[10:38] <j0rd> Misterio: server install is even faster, it uses nothing instead of gnome
[10:38] <tuxrocks> j0rd: did you get the sourcce code
[10:38] <ahren> hi i am running an older hp pavillion desktop with an amd 64 processor.  the ubuntu.com website says that i should not use the 64 bit version for daily use.  which version should i be using the 32 bit or the 64 bit thanks
[10:38] <ComputerCoderGuy> Guys, I'm using XChat on Ubuntu right now, how come my internet is so slow
[10:38] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i've read that a couple places on the net from people having the same problem and not being able to resolve it with configs
[10:38] <srthmb> airtonix, installed, rebooting, wish me luck.
[10:38] <ross__> what is mounting in linux?
[10:39] <j0rd> ComputerCoderGuy: because your ISP sucks?
[10:39] <gunsofbrixton> hi, installed flashplugin on a 64 bit system, still no sound in flash, any other stuff I might try?
[10:39] <Misterio> !mount | ross__
[10:39] <oCean_> j0rd: no need for that kind of comments
[10:39] <gunsofbrixton> *sorry flashplugin-installer I mean, following the sticky forum 3d
[10:40] <ross__> misterio: is it possible to mount an external hard drive and to have your computer boot from it?
[10:40] <j0rd> oCean_: well, if i was debugging the problem. that's would be my first guess. not my OS
[10:40] <j0rd> tuxrocks: http://osdir.com/ml/networkmanager-list/2010-01/msg00061.html
[10:40] <Caffeinepill> So, do you guys recommend me to switch to Lubuntu?
[10:41] <ahren> any help
[10:41] <Misterio> ross__: Yes, if your BIOS supports that
[10:41] <j0rd> Caffeinepill: i use ubuntu with gnome. because i have a beefy computer with enough ram to handle it. it works good enough. I prefer ubuntu because it has more eyes on the project, which should translate to less bugs and issues
[10:41] <psycho_oreos> Caffeinepill, switching over to lxde is a matter of taste, nobody can recommend tastes unless if they are biased, you should try it out and make your own decisions.. and discussions about lxde on ubuntu should be aimed at #lubuntu
[10:41] <tuxrocks> tuxrocks: may be due to some bug
[10:41] <ross__> Misterio: how do you check if the BIOS supports it or not?
[10:41] <tuxrocks> j0rd:i think 45sec is more for dns to resolve
[10:41] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i think it's for DHCP
[10:41] <Misterio> ross__: Check if it can boot from any USB or external HDD. If it can, then you'll can do it
[10:42] <tuxrocks> ya dhcp
[10:42] <tuxrocks> sry
[10:42] <j0rd> tuxrocks: ya, i agree with you. That's my problem i'm trying to resolve
[10:42] <matt__> airtonix, that did absolutely nothing?
[10:42] <Topy> is there any way to see which file gets executed if i enter a command? what i mean is: if i enter a command, it will search in the places specified by path for a matching file, can i somehow see which one it decides to start?
[10:42] <j0rd> tuxrocks: extend the timeout from something greater than 45. right now i can't
[10:42] <matt__> airtonix, how do I purge it, I may need to retry
[10:43] <tuxrocks> j0rd: try some other network manager
[10:43] <airtonix> matt__, did you check hardware drivers before rebootng ?
[10:43] <tuxrocks> j0rd: uninstall nm
[10:43] <j0rd> tuxrocks: i've used wicd in the past...but prefer nm these days
[10:43] <j0rd> but yes. i guess if this is a problem I''ll just have to stop using NM
[10:43] <matt__> airtonix, ... no.
[10:43] <j0rd> until they resolve the issue
[10:43] <Caffeinepill> @psycho_oreos: So you telling me that it's only the GUI that differs from each other?
[10:43] <tuxrocks> j0rd: you can reprogram its source
[10:43] <airtonix> tuxrocks, have you checked the config files in /etc/NetworkManager ?
[10:43] <j0rd> tuxrocks: yep, could do that too
[10:43] <Topy> ah, found it, the answer to my question is: "which (command)"
[10:44] <j0rd> airtonix: ya, but there's no documentation on them. so i dunno what to put in there
[10:44] <phlak_user> Topy: that is determined by your PATH variable. for example, if you had a command called runme in /home/xyz/bin and in /usr/bin and your PATH had /home/xyz/bin before /usr/bin, the file in /home/xyz/bin would get executed.
[10:44] <j0rd> airtonix: if you can find me docs on /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf  that would be wonderful
[10:44] <airtonix> j0rd, i think removing network-manager is a bit extreme
[10:44] <j0rd> airtonix: i think hardcoding timeouts is extreme :)
[10:44] <psycho_oreos> Caffeinepill, GUI and some of the GUI tools mostly between ubuntu, kubuntu, xubuntu and lubuntu... not sure about edubuntu and linux mint uses gnome iirc
[10:44] <matt__> airtonix, should I install it again, check the hardware tab _then_ reboot/
[10:45] <phlak_user> j0rd: do you have the same issue if you connected via cable (eth0)?
[10:45] <ross__> where can you access the source code of the kernel
[10:45] <tuxrocks> j0rd: its a matter of replace and make...
[10:45] <j0rd> phlak_user: i dunno. only use wifi here.
[10:45] <phlak_user> j0rd: i would rather tweak the wireless router settings if the latencies from router to your lappy are too large
[10:45] <tuxrocks> ross__: apt-get kernel
[10:45] <psycho_oreos> ross__, apt-get install linux-source
[10:45] <bullgard> Is the proper way to restart the NetworkManager '~$ service networki-manager restart' or '~$ sudo /etc/dbus-1/event.d/25NetworkManager restart'?
[10:45] <phlak_user> !kernel| ross__
[10:45] <j0rd> phlak_user: i only control my laptop. not the router
[10:45] <ross__> i just want to see the source code in text format
[10:46] <ross__> how do i do that?
[10:46] <s3r3n1t7> bullgard, first imo
[10:46] <Caffeinepill> psycho_oreos: What about the tools of programming? I program in C, but the thing is that I don't know if the softwares are there when needed so does they share the same server of softwares?
[10:46] <airtonix> j0rd, this looks useful : http://live.gnome.org/DarrenAlbers/NetworkManagerFAQ
[10:46] <psycho_oreos> ross__, you have to download it before you can see it, the source code doesn't come included with the image files to save space
[10:46] <j0rd> airtonix: will DL and have a look
[10:46] <phlak_user> ross__: download the source code from kernel.org and then extract it to a directory, navigate to that directory and use your favorite editor to see the files
[10:46] <ross__> i see - that's why i couldn't open it
[10:47] <airtonix> matt__, i would check the hardware drivers interface and see if you can enable something
[10:47] <ross__> so it's apt-get install linux-source?
[10:47] <matt__> airtonix, the nvidia-settings tell me I dont' have a driver and the hardware is telling me A different driver is in use
[10:47] <bullgard> s3r3n1t7: But both did not work for me this morning. They did not restart NetworkManager.
[10:47] <s3r3n1t7> bullgard, wrong program then?
[10:47] <j0rd> airtonix: no information there on adding lines to the nm config file
[10:47] <bullgard> s3r3n1t7: What do you mean?
[10:48] <ComputerCoderGuy> Anyone know why my internet is so slow on Ubuntu?
[10:48] <s3r3n1t7> bullgard, perhaps the thing you're trying to restart isn't the name of the program you've actually restarted
[10:48] <psycho_oreos> Caffeinepill, most programs regardless of which frontend they are were based on should be compatible, say for example you prefer to use konsole instead of gnome-terminal, you can simply apt-get install it. From then on apt-get handles all the dependencies needed to get konsole working on gnome-ui, usually included downloading of kde libs
[10:48] <ahren>  what about this lubuntu would it help my computer speed? it is running very slow with firefox for some reason
[10:48] <jan-pieter> I want to move some files to my usb-stick(16GB, ntfs). Small files work perfectly but once the files get around 50MB the copying just gets stuck. Can anyone help me solve this?
[10:48] <ahren>  when i download swiftfox should i use the 32 intel version or the 64amd version thanks :) i have amd64 older pc
[10:48] <airtonix> j0rd, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager#Configuration
[10:48] <psycho_oreos> ross__, might need to add sudo in front of that command
[10:48] <bullgard> s3r3n1t7: At least I keyed in the commands stated.
[10:49] <ross__> i love ubuntu ^^
[10:49]  * ComputerCoderGuy too
[10:49]  * ComputerCoderGuy is the IRC masteer
[10:49]  * ComputerCoderGuy has his own IRC network :P
[10:49] <iwobbles> yeah its great eh ross
[10:49] <s3r3n1t7> ComputerCoderGuy, please don't do that here.
[10:49] <ross__> everyday i am learning more and more and i have just about completely abandoned Windows, with the exception of having to use itunes for my ipod
[10:50] <airtonix> j0rd, http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/NetworkManager
[10:50] <eviltoaster> how do i change gnome volume control to use right sound device?
[10:50] <matt__> airtonix, the nvidia-settings tell me I dont' have a driver and the hardware is telling me A different driver is in use
[10:50] <Misterio> ComputerCoderGuy: Maybe it's that the reason of your slow internet? The IRC network is eating your connection?
[10:50] <Topy> phlak_user: i know, but as said, i wanted to know which one it picks (without going through the path variable myself), which is exactly what "which" does :)
[10:50] <psycho_oreos> ross__, there's gtkpod which I use
[10:50] <ross__> what is gtkpod
[10:50] <psycho_oreos> !ipod
[10:51] <ahren> !Rockbox
[10:51] <ross__> oh smack
[10:51] <ross__> let me check it out
[10:52] <airtonix> matt__, so when you used the driver provided by the default repo, nvidia-settings let you change the resolution ?
[10:52] <ComputerCoderGuy> Guys, my internet is slow because when I open a webpage it is like "Looking up www.webpage.com" for ages
[10:52] <psycho_oreos> ComputerCoderGuy, it could be ipv6 issue, try disabling ipv6 search if you are using ipv4
[10:52] <matt__> airtonix, yes, but it only let me go up to a weird res in the 1300's
[10:52] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: maybe your DNS isnt resolving
[10:53] <airtonix> matt__, and you know your monitor allows you to do other resolutions ?
[10:53] <matt__> airtonix, I ran windows 1680x1050 no problem.
[10:53] <bullgard> eviltoaster: PulseAudioVolumeControl > (Volume Control) > Configuration > Profile: <select>. Then  PulseAudioVolumeControl > (Volume Control) > Output Devices > Port > <select>.
[10:53] <phlak_user> Topy: it will always pick the one that lies in the directory that PATH defines
[10:54] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: can you fire up a terminal and type $dig www.google.com and see how much time that takes?
[10:54] <ComputerCoderGuy> phlak, ok
[10:55] <wh1sk3yj4ck> if I want to download everything from a web folder to my computer with wget, how would that command look like?
[10:55] <opij> is there a way to have evolution notify you of a new email without having to have it open?
[10:55] <ComputerCoderGuy> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ $dig www.google.com
[10:55] <ComputerCoderGuy> www.google.com: command not found
[10:55] <FloodBot4> ComputerCoderGuy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:55] <ComputerCoderGuy> phlak_user^^^^
[10:55] <ross__> man...that is a lot of code...
[10:55] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: did you add a dig in front of that www.google.com ?
[10:56] <ComputerCoderGuy> phlak_user, yes
[10:56] <ross__> i just looked at the source code for the kernel, i'm thinking that i will want to learn how to create LFS on my own
[10:56] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: the dollar sign was to indicate your prompt; you didnt need to  type it
[10:56] <ross__> anyone has experience with LFS?
[10:56] <phlak_user> ross__: whats LFS?
[10:56] <ComputerCoderGuy> phlak_user, oh, ok
[10:56] <airtonix> matt__, ok try this on the nvidia ppa you installed : http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html
[10:57] <ross__> LINUX FROM SCRATCH
[10:57] <airtonix> matt__, then restart and confirm that you have nothing related to nvidia-settings
[10:57] <aaaoooaaa> hi guys I was wondering if Nouveau is available for karmic?
[10:57] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: and dont paste the results here... use pastebin
[10:57] <ComputerCoderGuy> Ok
[10:57] <llutz> ross__: /j ##linuxfromscratch
[10:57] <phlak_user> ross__: oh ok; like here --> http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/
[10:58] <ross__> llutz: there is no one there: (
[10:58] <llutz> ross__: its off-topic here
[10:58] <airtonix> matt__, here is the ppa thingo for your reference : ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[10:58] <bazhang> #lfs-support on irc.linuxfromscratch.org  ross__
[10:58] <ross__> ok

[10:59] <opij> is there a way to have evolution notify you of a new email without having to have it open?
[10:59] <phlak_user> ComputerCoderGuy: that looks fine, your reply is in 13ms
[10:59] <phlak_user> opij: there is a notify that you can add to the system tray
[11:00] <matt__> airtonix, doing so
[11:00] <vled> opij: isn't that what the notification area is for?
[11:00] <phlak_user> opij: *notifier*
[11:00] <opij> that will notify you even when evolution is closed?
[11:00] <vled> opij: no.
[11:00] <matt__> airtonix, how do I verify my system is clean of nvidia?
[11:00] <vled> you need biff for that
[11:00] <opij> vled: how do you have it notify you even when it's closed?
[11:01] <airtonix> matt__, i think the lack of nvidia-settings program is good enough at this stage
[11:01] <abhijit> hello guys
[11:01] <phlak_user> opij: theres a gdesklet that lets you do this also without having evolution open
[11:01] <matt__> airtonix, roger
[11:01] <opij> phlak_user: i want to use as little memory as possible
[11:01] <abhijit> since last 3 days login to my account taking toooooo much time. (not the boot/restart time) any help please?
[11:01] <root> scriptwarlock:
[11:01] <phlak_user> !info mail-notification
[11:02] <matt__> airtonix, so reboot and verify?
[11:02] <airtonix> matt__, yes did the ppa-purge show that it removed the packages ?
[11:02] <tensorpudding> ohnoes, root
[11:02] <phlak_user> abhijit: even the safe mode of gnome?
[11:02] <matt__> airtonix, yes, I'm going to reboot now
[11:02] <airtonix> okies
[11:02] <abhijit> phlak_user, diddnt tried that. what is it?
[11:03] <phlak_user> abhijit: at the login window, select safe mode from list of sessions
[11:03] <tensorpudding> does the ruby1.9.1 in the center not provide a /usr/bin/ruby?
[11:03] <abhijit> phlak_user, ok  i test that. brb ok?
[11:03] <yunintegral_> is there any way to change user's password with one command? (ex: passwd username password )
[11:04] <willwork4foo> hi - anyone here know much about grub2? I'm trying to work out how to set my default boot option to something other than the top entry on the list, and it's proving to be VERY difficult! I've set various things in /etc/default/grub and I've run update-grub, and nothing I do seems to have any effect at all
[11:04] <ivedoneitnow> Hi. i have a bit of a problem... tried to get plymouth working. i entered two commands. sudo update-alternatives –config default.plymouth, chose a theme, thensudo update-initramfs -u. my pc now wont start im running from live cd.. how do i repair it like disable plymouth and remake my initramfs? help!
[11:04] <matt__> airtonix, reboot, typed nvidia-settings, got this: You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
[11:05] <airtonix> matt__, looks like its still installed then. try loading up synaptics and see what nvidia packages are installed
[11:05] <matt__> rgr
[11:06] <matt__> airtonix, where do I find synaptics?
[11:06] <tensorpudding> also is ruby 1.8 not available in the software center?
[11:06] <airtonix> matt__, system > admin > synaptic package manager
[11:06] <abhijit> phlak_user, i go to fialsafe mode and it booted fast. but not all panels launched
[11:07] <phlak_user> abhijit: ok so there is some applet/panel that is causing the delay. Go to System-Preferences-Startup Applications and try removing applications and test.
[11:07] <matt__> airtonix, where do I find which ones i have installed
[11:07] <airtonix> matt__, do you see that search box up top ? type nvidia in there
[11:08] <matt__> airtonix, found it
[11:08] <ivedoneitnow> Hi. i have a bit of a problem... tried to get plymouth working. i entered two commands. sudo update-alternatives –config default.plymouth, chose a theme, thensudo update-initramfs -u. my pc now wont start im running from live cd.. how do i repair it like disable plymouth and remake my initramfs? im really stuck ><
[11:08] <abhijit> phlak_user, oh. whithin last 3 days network and on more applet crashed. and it asked me whether to delte it or not but then i select dont delet. but it happends only once. I want al that aps on panel?
[11:09] <airtonix> matt__, ok in the right pane, where all the packages are list, you can click one of the coloumns to sort them by status (installed, marked for upgrade, marked for removal, not installed)
[11:09] <matt__> airtonix, nvidia-current, nvidia-settings, nvidia-common, nividia-current-modaliases, nvidia-173-modaliases, nvidiia-96-modalises are the ones installed
[11:09] <abhijit> phlak_user, ok I wll try that later on. (remoing aps) thanks for your time :)
[11:09] <phlak_user> abhijit: there must be some config in the network applet that might be causing the issue. you need to isolate using the process described above if you arent sure what is causing the issue
[11:09] <phlak_user> ok
[11:10] <matt__> airtonix, theres also a couple of xserver ones that have nvidia in the description but not the name
[11:11] <Topy> hm... if i start slim through start-stop-daemon (with the exact commandline that /etc/init.d/slim uses) it fails, with xorg saying "screens found, but none have a usable configuration", however if i start it by simply calling "/usr/bin/slim" it works perfectly. any clues to why this may be? it seems it takes a different xorg configuration if started through start-stop-daemon, but i dont see how that would make any sense at all
[11:12] <airtonix> matt__, argh i can't remember if i removed those or not, but one question : when you included that ppa i recommended, did you use sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade are doing the sudo add-apt-repository-blah-blah-blah  ?
[11:12] <Topy> why would "start-stop-daemon --start --name slim --startas /usr/bin/slim" give a different result than "/usr/bin/slim"?
[11:12] <airtonix> matt__, after doing add-apt-repo *
[11:12] <Andrew9> Creative Audigy 4, no sound. There is Dummy Output only. What can i do?
[11:13] <phlak_user> Topy: one reason could be. that the user that it runs as is different in both cases
[11:13] <matt__> airtonix, How about, I kill everything nvidia, and we start from square one
[11:13] <airtonix> matt__, normally i would say yes... but i 'm not sure that you will have a gui after restarting with that change.
[11:14] <matt__> airtonix, ill keep all xserv shenaniganz but kill nvidia
[11:14] <matt__> airtonix, and if it messed up I'll call it a night and read a book
[11:14] <airtonix> matt__, k
[11:14] <airtonix> matt__, when you installed ubuntu did you put /home on a separate partition from /  ?
[11:15] <matt__> airtonix, no, but I don't have anything important
[11:15] <airtonix> matt__, (its a good thing to do so you can minimise risk of loosing your documents and settings when reinstalling)
[11:16] <matt__> airtonix, I'll be sure and do that. removing and rebooting. See you on the other side... Hopefully.
[11:16] <airtonix> :)
[11:20] <Topy44> phlak_user: that may be true, but why would a different user cause X not to find a suitable configuration? anyway, is there any way to find out as which user star-stop-daemon is trying to run slim? i would GUESS that its as root, seeing as i need to run start-stop-daemon as root for it to work
[11:23] <phlak_user> Topy44: could this help --> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-558909.html
[11:24] <cosimo_> hi, i tried fixing a boot issue (slow, black screen with blinking cursos) creating the splash file enabling framebuffer, but now im not getting the plymouth spalsh, but  apink backkground with small ubuntu banner. It is faster nwo but how can ai change that splash?
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> I tend to just remove splash and use a text only screen. :) Im old-skool
[11:27] <Dr_Willis> and remove plymouth
[11:27] <Topy44> phlak_user: actually, after hours or stumbling around, it turns out my problem is identical with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdm/+bug/585853
[11:27] <Topy44> the bug concerns both xdm and slim
[11:28] <rlotun> hi all: I'm confused about the distinction between upstart and the scripts in /etc/init.d - they don't use the same system do they? I'm wondering whether it's possible to set an /etc/init.d script to respawn if the process dies
[11:29] <matt__> airtonix, had a bit of a wifi hiccup, but I'm back, without nvidia
[11:29] <rlotun> i've used upstart before for my own daemons - I wan to modify someone else's /etc/init.d script to make it respawn (like you can do in upstart)
[11:29] <airtonix> matt__, gui desktop ?
[11:29] <matt__> airtonix, indeed.
[11:29] <cosimo_> Dr_Willis, by text you mean you see all the system  loading messages?
[11:29] <airtonix> matt__, and i assume you already confirm a lack of nvidia
[11:30] <matt__> airtonix, nvidia-settings does not exist
[11:30] <matt__> airtonix, so that means all the other packages i killed are gone too
[11:30] <cosimo_> Dr_Willis, if it could just turn black, no text, no splashes, it would be great
[11:30] <SandGorgon> what is a good tool for IPTables GUI ?
[11:30] <airtonix> matt__, see if installing that  ppa works
[11:31] <airtonix> SandGorgon, i like to use UFW
[11:31] <matt__> airtonix, sorry, can I get that link one more time?
[11:31] <airtonix> matt__, sure one sec
[11:31] <MaRk-I> !ufw
[11:31] <matt__> airtonix, wait. I got it.
[11:31] <matt__> airtonix, nevermind XD. I need it
[11:31] <ComputerCoderGuy> !ufw
[11:31] <airtonix> matt__, http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/how-to-install-nvidia-25635-display.html
[11:31] <matt__> airtonix, Going to try again.
[11:32] <SandGorgon> airtonix, is it GUI based ?
[11:32] <airtonix> SandGorgon, you might not know it, but UFW has support for managing internet connection sharing.
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> cosimo_:  theres the 'text' option to the kernelto disable gdm/plymount and stuff.. or remove plymouth - My notes here ---> http://pastebin.com/r2AVuCN9
[11:32] <airtonix> SandGorgon, you can use gufw to edit ufw rules (which in turn manage iptables)
[11:32] <Dr_Willis> cosimo_:  i just have the text messages, and then it loads up gdm. I dont have any fancy Ubuntu logo/animations befor i see GDM screen. the consoles are also all using the normal text mode. Not the framebuffer mode
[11:33] <matt__> airtonix, alright, installed
[11:33] <airtonix> matt__, have a look at the hardware drivers interface
[11:33] <matt__> airtonix, activated in the hardware drivers, and rebooting.
[11:34] <airtonix> :)
[11:34] <rlotun> can anyone help regarding re: /etc/init.d vs. upstart? it'd be much appreciated.
[11:34] <vled> anybody know a good ldap directory browser?
[11:34] <alex88> SandGorgon: fwbuilder is also nice, but complicate
[11:36] <matt__> airtonix, hahahaha "This driver is activated but not currently in use"
[11:36] <matt__> Jesus.
[11:37] <alex88> matt__: nvidia-xconfig
[11:37] <AmokPaule> Hello, im about to buy a new gfx card. i have an nvidia now and my new one will be an nivdia aswell, is there anything when i change the card on what i have to look for? Like reinstalling the drivers or anything?
[11:37] <airtonix> matt__, mmm ok try removing it again then see what happens if you then install dkms and use the manual installation method of the nvidia drivers
[11:37] <alex88> AmokPaule: don't think so..
[11:37] <spinaker> i have some movies in my laptop how can i burn them and play it on my dvd player?do i need to encode in a way that dvd player would read it?
[11:37] <airtonix> matt__,  rebooting after ppa-purge of course.
[11:37] <alex88> airtonix: on a fresh install i always have to do nvidia-xconfig
[11:38] <AmokPaule> alex88 thanks
[11:38] <matt__> alex88, command not found
[11:38] <alex88> dunno, if you're install different drivers
[11:38] <airtonix> alex88, its been so long since i've had to do that
[11:38] <alex88> airtonix: had to do on 10.04
[11:38] <matt__> airtonix, okay, what did you want me to do?
[11:39] <erhao> 大家好阿
[11:39] <erhao> hallo
[11:39] <ComputerCoderGuy> Hi
[11:40] <erhao> are you here？
[11:40] <abhijit> I need to access vista from my ubuntu and my ubuntu from vista. so which one is recommended? considering security and speed? teamviewr or ubuntu's default rdp?
[11:40] <ComputerCoderGuy> Ummmm, yes
[11:40] <Guest38888> ya
[11:40] <airtonix> matt__, ppa-purge, remove nvidia, reboot, install dkms, download nvidia drivers for x86 from nvidia site, chmod  +x them, ctrl + alt + f1, login, sudo service gdm stop, sh /path/to/nvidia-linux-drivers.sh
[11:40] <Guest38888> hi
[11:40] <erhao> oh who is chinese
[11:40] <MaRk-I> !cn | erhao
[11:40] <airtonix> matt__, last step is actually : sudo sh /path/to/nvidia-linux-drivers.sh
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  over lan or over the internet?
[11:41] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, Internet
[11:41] <alex88> abhijit: rdesktop
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> abhijit:  freenx also works very well. but is a little more complex to setup
[11:41] <Guest38888> i'm new to this fantastic system
[11:41] <matt__> airtonix, which ppa am I purging again?
[11:41] <abhijit> alex88, is there any guide how to install setup rdesktop server and client on vista?
[11:41] <abhijit> Dr_Willis, freenx? ok I wll look at it
[11:41] <airtonix> matt__, ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
[11:42] <alex88> abhijit: well the server is in vista..the remote desktop protocol..just enable remote access
[11:42] <kobrien> Hi, I need to set different default Java's on a user basis. So I want all Java apps on my account to run IBM java, but another account to run Oracle Java. Advice appreciated.
[11:42] <matt__> strange...
[11:42] <abhijit> alex88, ohh ok
[11:42] <matt__> airtonix, Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: ubuntu-x-swat x-updates
[11:43] <airtonix> matt__, are you sure you used sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings
[11:44] <matt__> Pretty sure.
[11:44] <airtonix> try it again
[11:44] <phlak_user> kobrien: one way is to specify the JAVA_HOME variable per user in his .bashrc
[11:44] <alex88> airtonix: why not ubuntu normal packages?
[11:45] <ComputerCoderGuy> Guys, is it possible to use Java on windows, as I kinda wanna play runescape :P
[11:45] <red2kic> ComputerCoderGuy: Java is cross-platform.
[11:45] <ComputerCoderGuy> red2kic, so I can just download  java?
[11:45] <marteen_> A little info to pass on - setting LCK..ttyACM0 to 9999 and chmod_ing it to +s +t in /var/lock and chmoding /var/lock itself +s keeps hackers from freezing your network
[11:45] <airtonix> alex88, because for some reason they will not allow matt__ to use all available resolutions. (i have the same card also which can do 1920x1680) using 195 drivers
[11:46] <red2kic> ComputerCoderGuy: Go to Java.com on Windows and download the appropriate .exe
[11:46] <kobrien> phlak_user: I should have mentioned that I've tried that approach and the app doesn't appear to read the JAVA_HOME variable.
[11:46] <ComputerCoderGuy> red2kic, Ubuntu doesn't use .exe  + I dont use windows, and I never will again
[11:46] <airtonix> matt__, for future reference , manual driver installation file is here : http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-256.35-driver.html
[11:46] <eventyret> Finaly i got java working *sighs* 1 1/2 hour of struggle :P
[11:46] <red2kic> ComputerCoderGuy: Also, you can ask for Windows supports in ##windows
[11:47] <red2kic> "<ComputerCoderGuy> Guys, is it possible to use Java on windows, as I kinda wanna play runescape :P"
[11:47] <red2kic> ComputerCoderGuy: You mean Ubuntu? :o
[11:47] <matt__> ComputerCoderGuy = Trollololol.
[11:47] <ComputerCoderGuy> matt_, sorry, lol, I mean Ubuntu

[11:48] <maxflax> hello, was wondering how one upgrades a jaunty to next dist via bash
[11:48] <kobrien> phlak_user: solution found...I'll hardcode the path from Oracle Java for the only app I need to tun on that.
[11:48] <matt__> airtonix, can i get the ppa install page one more time? I'm going to purge and remove everything
[11:48] <red2kic> !upgrade | maxflax

[11:54] <mohamed21000000> wait
[11:54] <pipas> i got a question about ext3 tune, can i ask here?
[11:54] <phlak_user> mohamed21000000: pastebinit if its more than 1 line please
[11:55] <phlak_user> !ask | pipas
[11:55] <Sary> bilalakhtar ...
[11:55] <pipas> ok
[11:55] <bilalakhtar> Sary: query with me
[11:55] <matt____> airtonix, downloaded, how to I chmod +x it?
[11:56] <pipas> on lucid lynx, who can i see what options are in use by the ext3 filesystem
[11:56] <axel_foley> hello
[11:56] <pipas> for example: noatime
[11:56] <airtonix> matt____, assuming it's in your ~/Download folder : chmod +x ~/Download/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35.run
[11:56] <vled> pipas: mount?
[11:57] <Misterio> pipas:  Doesn't lucid use ext4?
[11:57] <pipas> i dunno :P
[11:57] <phlak_user> pipas: type mount; the options will show up in parentheses ()
[11:57] <pipas> does it?
[11:57] <mohamed21000000> Misterio: when I want to install or remove an app, a warning box pops up saying that the system failed during an installation
[11:57] <Misterio> pipas: It does, they changed in 9.10 or 9.04
[11:57] <Misterio> ah, maybe you updated from older version
[11:57] <mohamed21000000> it asks to run a command: sudo dpkg --configure -f
[11:57] <matt____> airtonix, done, next step?
[11:57] <pipas> mount gives: /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
[11:58] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: Try installing with "sudo apt-get programm", and tell me the error. (Use pastebin please)
[11:58] <marteen_> The Queen of England is and old bat, huh?
[11:58] <pipas> does the "noatime" and "noadirtime" options disapeared?
[11:58] <Misterio> marteen_: huh?
[11:58] <vled> pipas: so no 'noatime' for you ;-)
[11:58] <phlak_user> pipas: no, you need to specify them in /etc/fstab if you want to
[11:59] <phlak_user> !ot | marteen_
[11:59] <MaRk-I> mohamed21000000: in terminal type that command "it's telling you what to do"
[11:59] <pipas> will it show then on the mount command?
[11:59] <phlak_user> pipas: it should
[11:59] <mohamed21000000> it said invalid operation
[11:59] <airtonix> matt____, you'll need to stop the x server and then you need to run the file. so : 1) press ctrl + alt + f1 (this will switch to a fullscreen terminal screen where you need to login) 2) login 3) then run the drier installer (assuming it's in your ~/Download folder ) sudo sh ~/Download/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.35.run
[11:59] <mohamed21000000> misterio: it said Invalid operation
[12:00] <pipas> is there a way to put it "on the fly" ? like with tune2fs?
[12:00] <phlak_user> pipas: you can pass it "on the fly" using the mount command
[12:00] <airtonix> matt____, stopping the x server will also log you out from the gui desktop
[12:00] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: Try aptitude instead
[12:00] <mohamed21000000> how
[12:01] <phlak_user> phlak_user: using -o switch
[12:01] <wjlroe> Has anyone tried installing gnome-shell? I just get  gnome-shell: Depends: libgjs0 but it is not going to be installed
[12:01] <Misterio> sudo aptitude install programm
[12:01] <phlak_user> pipas: using -o switch
[12:01] <mohamed21000000> it is working
[12:01] <Misterio> wjlroe: sudo apt-get install libgjs0 and check error
[12:01] <pipas> thanks....but i tried and....no go...
[12:01] <mohamed21000000> I aborted moodle check in
[12:02] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: Maybe you have and error with apt-get
[12:02] <pipas> Invalid mount option set: noatime
[12:02] <pipas> when i tried tune2fs
[12:02] <strangeseraph> Hey, can I have some help please? :)
[12:02] <mohamed21000000> I didn't now that ctrl+c cancels things in terminal
[12:02] <Misterio> mohamed21000000: Yes, it's like abort
[12:02] <phlak_user> pipas: check man mount
[12:02] <cosimo_>  My booting was slow and to fix it i created the splash file with the FRAMBUFFER=y line. updated and when i rebooted now it is faster but i get an ulgy pink splash screen. Ive tried changing it with plymouth but it doesnt owrk

[12:09] <eventyret> what is the save sessions for ?
[12:09] <elric> Misterio: U use gnomenu?
[12:09] <matt________> airtonix, I'll do it again, so I can get the path to the error
[12:09] <ikonia> KM1KZ3: please don't ask for that sort of support
[12:09] <Misterio> elric: I'm using KDE right now, sorry
[12:10] <matt________> airtonix,  no biggie
[12:10] <ikonia> KM1KZ3: this is ubuntu operating system and application support
[12:10] <marteen_> Hackers also use a lock link in ~/.mozilla and .pwdlock in /etc
[12:10] <bora> Could anyone help me with that issue?
[12:10] <KM1KZ3> ikonia, ok do you know where can i ask ?
[12:10] <ikonia> KM1KZ3: no idea
[12:10] <Misterio> KM1KZ3: /msg alis help list << it can help you
[12:11] <foexle> so the question again :) .... any use eyfinity with 3 monitors on ubuntu 10.04 ?
[12:11] <KM1KZ3> Misterio, thanks
[12:12] <bora> i need help fixing this  if i cant fix this in 24 hours im going to fedora =P
[12:12] <wjlroe> rww: oh super, thanks
[12:12] <wjlroe> Misterio: cheers for helping m
[12:12] <wjlroe> e
[12:12] <dagon666> bora: wahts the problem ?
[12:12] <marteen_> also /etc/login.defs - change RETRIES to 0 and time to 1 sec
[12:12] <ikonia> bora: dvi-hdmi conversion can often be a problem
[12:12] <rapsli> how do I best (and most secure) update bios?
[12:13] <ikonia> rapsli: read the bios manual (there is normally a copy online )
[12:13] <bora> so what do you suggest? using DVI2VGA?
[12:13] <red2kic> rapsli: I updated my laptop's bio using a bio disc.
[12:13] <bora> the 8800GT I have has only 2 DVI outputs
[12:13] <rapsli> ikonia: what do you mean?
[12:13] <JeffJohnson> moin
[12:13] <ikonia> bora: check (use the xorg log) what modes your monitor is advertising (is it a monitor or a TV)
[12:13] <bora> its a monitor
[12:13] <ikonia> rapsli: the motherboard's manual will explain your options to update the bios
[12:13] <JeffJohnson> kann ich mir unter gnome irgendwie die fensterpos, desktop einstellungen  für eine andwendung merken? wie?:)
[12:13] <elric> Anybody use gnomenu here?
[12:13] <ikonia> rapsli: or in this case the laptop
[12:14] <rapsli> ikonia. oky
[12:14] <bora> the monitor has no problem working with the noveau drivers
[12:14] <foexle> any solutions for the problem with eyefinity on ubuntu 10.04 ? so i see 3 monitors in catalyst but i can activate only 2 monitors
[12:14] <rapsli> red2kic: what's bio disc?
[12:14] <ikonia> bora: what graphics drives are you using
[12:14] <ikonia> drivers even
[12:14] <strangeseraph> I'm just going to delete the messed up tracks and try putting them in again. Not a lot of them anyways
[12:14] <bora> I installed the nvidia drivers using the hardware drivers installer that comes with 10.04
[12:14] <ikonia> bora: ok, sounds sensible
[12:14] <raktunak> buenas
[12:15] <red2kic> rapsli: From manuals and tutorials I found online, I created a ISO to burn on disc. Put disc in the laptop and it updated.
[12:15] <ikonia> bora: using the xorg log file, what modes is your monitor advertising ?
[12:15] <Shredzp> hello
[12:15] <ikonia> bora: using the screen resolution tool, what modes are available ?
[12:15] <ikonia> bora: can you also verify they are using the nvidia drivers ?
[12:15] <rapsli> red2kic: awesome ;) ... I think I just found sucht a thing http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#biosdisk
[12:15] <bora> let me check
[12:15] <ComputerCoderGuy> whola
[12:16] <red2kic> rapsli: Whoa. That's awesome. :)
[12:16] <matt__________> airtonix, here is the log: http://pastebin.com/ZH7XvBM8
[12:17] <Shredzp> hello anyone out here?
[12:17] <ikonia> Shredzp: 1400+ people
[12:17] <foexle> yeah and no one use eyefinity :P
[12:18] <ikonia> foexle: what ?
[12:18] <foexle> ati eyfinity
[12:18] <foexle> +e
[12:18] <ikonia> what about it ?
[12:18] <bora> http://pastebin.ca/1901690 is this the right log?
[12:18] <arun__> which is the environment variable to get the default web browser of user ?
[12:18] <matt__________> airtonix, how screwed am I? hahaha
[12:18] <TechnoPagan_tm> Anyone use flipflop.sh
[12:18] <strangeseraph> all right, weird, copying the file again doesn't fix the problem
[12:18] <foexle> i've a problem use 3 monitors with one card .... but ati and ubuntu says it works
[12:19] <ikonia> bora: looks good
[12:19] <foexle> but i see 3 monitors but i can activate only 2 monitors
[12:19] <bora> and xrandr shows 640x480 at most
[12:20] <foexle> and google says it works, and now i ask here :)
[12:20] <abhijit> !dualmonitor | foexle
[12:20] <ikonia> bora: can you confirm it's using the Nvidia drivers in the xorg conf
[12:20] <airtonix> matt__________, these underscores are breeding
[12:20] <foexle> ubottu: not dual
[12:20] <radomirus> hi
[12:20] <bora> lets see
[12:21] <airtonix> matt__________, did you install dkms before running the installer  ?
[12:21] <matt__________> airtonix, haha yeah, I'll its getting longer out of anger, haha 'll shorten it
[12:21] <matt_____> airtonix, ... I knew I was forgetting something.
[12:22] <strangeseraph> okay there are a lot more faulty tracks than I thought. I dunno how to fix this!
[12:22] <bora> http://pastebin.ca/1901691
[12:22] <matt_____> airtonix, ill install that now
[12:22] <matt_____> !info dkms
[12:23] <bora> I have manually edited the line metamodes 1920x1080 to test it but nothing changed even after a reboot or X restart
[12:23] <bora> by default that line was 640x480
[12:23] <matt_____> airtonix, It says it's already installed/
[12:23] <ikonia> bora: interesting, I'd disable twinview (unless you are using 2 monitors)
[12:23] <airtonix> matt_____, ok, did you install the kernel headers for your current kernel ?
[12:23] <bora> twinview is set to 0,
[12:23] <bora> or is there another way to disable i
[12:23] <matt_____> airtonix, How would I go about doing that?
[12:24] <ikonia> bora: have you tried the nvidia-settings tool ?
[12:24] <ikonia> metamode is normally only used for twinview
[12:25] <airtonix> matt_____, first determine the kernel version with : uname -a
[12:25] <bora> nvidia-settings tool doesnt have twinview settings there
[12:25] <ikonia> bora: try using it to configure the card
[12:25] <bora> thats what i did
[12:25] <matt_____> airtonix, 2.6.32-21-generic
[12:25] <bora> the largest screen res is 640x480
[12:25] <airtonix> matt_____, then use apt-cache search linux-header and find the one that matches your version
[12:26] <ikonia> bora: is the nvidia kernel module loaded ?
[12:26] <matt_____> airtonix, what command would the search be? or can I use synaptic?
[12:26] <airtonix> matt_____, (although from memory i think the nvidia installer ought to install these for you)
[12:26] <airtonix> matt_____, apt-cache search linux-header 2.6.32-21-generic
[12:27] <TechnoPagan_tm> was marteen_
[12:27] <matt_____> airtonix, headers are at newest version.
[12:27] <airtonix> matt_____, argh you also have to black list the nouveau driver when using the manual driver isntall method
[12:28] <Destructo> damn this channel is big
[12:28] <matt_____> airtonix, Ahhhhh, that could be it. How do I do that.
[12:29] <Destructo> hell all. i have a question . i have ubuntu on a dell mini. i have a error saying my hd is working outside its parameters .. is there to fix that ?
[12:29] <airtonix> matt_____, here try this : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[12:29] <matt_____> airtonix, ill give this a shot
[12:29] <bora> matt_____, i followed that guide
[12:30] <matt_____> bora, thanks for letting me know, now I have a tad more confidence, haha
[12:30] <airtonix> matt_____, if that doesn't work then im out of ideas, (although i will say my desktop is still running karmic)
[12:30] <bora> But it didnt work for me
[12:30] <bora> so hope it works for you
[12:31] <raktunak> ejecuto un programa en el terminal y cuando crea la lista, me desaparece por la parte de abajo y el scroll de la barra no me permite bajar, se q hay mas informacion porq cuando achico la ventana del terminal, simplemente desaparece esa informacion, podria acceder probando de ejecutar el mismo soft desde alguna otra terminal q me pueda descargar¿
[12:32] <beppo> hello
[12:32] <Destructo> yo
[12:32] <Spanglish_7776> !es | raktnak
[12:32] <odb|fidel> raktunak: i bet you got better chances in english ;)
[12:32] <beppo> can't load a module it87, modprobe says FATAL: Error inserting it87 (/lib/modules/2.6.32-23-generic/kernel/drivers/hwmon/it87.ko): No such device
[12:32] <matt_____> bora, does the guide have a typo? because --purge is coming back as an invalid operation
[12:32] <beppo> but the file exists
[12:33] <N-S[X1]> Good afternoon. Why does 'top' tell me that almost all of my RAM is used (2.7GB / 3GB), when there are almost no apps running? checking all the different views and sorts, I can't find processes that would be eating any more than 4-500 MB in total; still those 400MB is all that is listed in "free".
[12:33] <bora> it has to be purge without -- i believe
[12:33] <matt_____> bora, thanks
[12:34] <matt_____> bora, couldn't find package remove XD
[12:34] <rww> N-S[X1]: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ answers pretty well, despite the... eccentric presentation.
[12:34] <bora> actually put two --
[12:34] <bora> so its --purge
[12:35] <matt_____> bora, it's selected, how do I delete them now?
[12:35] <bora> whats selected?
[12:35] <N-S[X1]> rww: lmfao - brilliant, thank you
[12:35] <matt_____> bora, it scrolled and "slected" all the packages
[12:35] <bora> apt-get --purge remove nvidia-* is the command
[12:36] <matt_____> Ah, then I guess I did it.
[12:36] <slinker1> N-S[X1]: see http://www.linuxatemyram.com/
[12:36] <matt_____> reboot and pray. Here we go :D
[12:36] <bora> ive been trying to figure this out for 8+ hours straight
[12:37] <bora> im going back to fedora
[12:37] <bora> until ubuntu works with nvidia drivers =P
[12:37] <orschiro> hello guys, in every pdf I generate with texmakerX I have a big 1 at the beginning of each document. it's definitely not coming from my template. does anyone have the same problem?
[12:37] <alex88> bora: isn't it working'
[12:37] <alex88> ?
[12:37] <Spanglish_7776> bora are you using netbook remix of ubuntu?
[12:38] <bora> no i am not
[12:38] <bora> why would i do that on a pc?
[12:38] <bora> on a desktop
[12:38] <N-S[X1]> slinker1: got it from rww, but thank you.
[12:38] <Spanglish_7776> bora I came in in the middle of the convo, I'm not psychic
[12:38] <slinker1> N-S[X1]: this aint winders :)
[12:38] <Spanglish_7776> ;)
[12:38] <bora> alex88, it works but i cant get fancy graphics to run since the noveau driver doesnt support it
[12:38] <bora> Spanglish_7776, sorry
[12:38] <alex88> bora: what you mean with fancy graphics? compiz?
[12:39] <bora> yes
[12:39] <alex88> bora: what it says?
[12:39] <noisewaterphd> hi
[12:39] <Spanglish_7776> hi noisewaterphd
[12:39] <alex88> !hi | noisewaterphd
[12:40] <bora> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=766879 this guy has the same issue with a KVM
[12:40] <noisewaterphd> I installed ubuntu 10.0.4 from a cd I burned from ISO, along side windows 7
[12:40] <noisewaterphd> windows 7 is on sda, i installed ubuntu on sdc
[12:40] <alex88> bora: can't change resolution? are you sure that nvidia drivers are active?
[12:41] <bora> yes because if it wasnt nvidia-config application would give an error
[12:41] <noisewaterphd> initially onlu ubunutu would boot, no grub screen, I fixed that, and I get the grub screen, but there is no windows option
[12:41] <alex88> bora: tried nvidia-xconfig and reboot?
[12:41] <N-S[X1]> Thx & bye
[12:41] <Spanglish_7776> bora: have you rebooted after activating the nvidia drivers...
[12:41] <alex88> Spanglish_7776: you just need to restart gdm
[12:42] <bora> of course i did
[12:42] <bora> 20 times
[12:42] <bora> in the last 60 minutes
[12:42] <alex88> bora: restart or xconfig?
[12:42] <abhi_nav> noisewaterphd, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-497355.html
[12:42] <noisewaterphd> now, i don't really care about windows, ubuntu will be my main os, but I need to install a windows 7 VM for adobe software
[12:42] <bora> reboot
[12:42] <arun__> which is the most light weight crossplatform gui tool ?
[12:42] <alex88> bora: try nvidia-xconfig, i've had to do that on 10.04
[12:43] <noisewaterphd> but this is an HP machine and did not ship with a win 7 disc
[12:43] <alex88> arun__: for doing? create gui? admin something?
[12:43] <bora> alex88,
[12:43] <arun__> alex88: for a simple desktop application
[12:43] <bora> it works fine on my tablet
[12:43] <noisewaterphd> where the hell is my win 7 disc, does hp just give you an image to burn or something
[12:43] <bora> but not on my desktop
[12:43] <alex88> arun__: build something? tried qt?
[12:44] <bora> the desktop has the NVIDIA 8800 GT, the card only has DVI outputs, and the monitor is connected via DVI/HDMI
[12:44] <alex88> bora: so, tried nvidia-xconfig or not?
[12:44] <bora> yes i did
[12:44] <alex88> oh k
[12:44] <alex88> no results i think..
[12:44] <slinker1> noisewaterphd: yep its in the hp menu but its just a restore image
[12:44] <arun__> alex88: I know qt but just wanted to know if there is nething better for the job
[12:44] <tensorpudding> I don't believe that HP gives you a restore disk.
[12:44] <alex88> arun__: dunno, i've always done with that
[12:44] <Destructo> how do i erase ausb stick
[12:44] <Destructo> usb
[12:44] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: you probably have a restore partition, you may be able to get a disc from HP but you'd have to buy it probably(just the dvd not the OS)
[12:44] <alex88> bora: tried with .bin file from nvnews?
[12:45] <tensorpudding> Destructo: you can zero it with dd
[12:45] <bora> is that a modified installer?
[12:45] <arun__> alex88: for simple qt application , how much size could be expected? you should have to install qt in a system with no qt for running this application right?
[12:45] <alex88> bora: nope just the lastest installer
[12:45] <bora> I have tried the latest installer from nvidia.com
[12:45] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: anyway to build an install from that restore partition?
[12:45] <abhi_nav> when i do ls in /dev there is one entry with green color. what the green color indicat?
[12:46] <alex88> arun__: yep, you don't need nothing else on client machines, and also is cross_platform
[12:46] <slinker1> bors if you havent run that command buntu isnt going to use the nvidia driver
[12:46] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: what about the vmware vConverter, where you can convert a live OS to a vmdk, does that actually work? does virtualbox have anything similar?
[12:47] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: not that I'm aware of. it's usually some kind of image and something like ghost to restore the image back to the OS partition.
[12:47] <Andrew9> what package do i need for samba gui?
[12:47] <alex88> bora: have a look at http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=122606 http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=72490
[12:47] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: yes it works, I've done it but only with windowsXP I can't tell you for Win7
[12:47] <alex88> Andrew9: server? http://gadmintools.flippedweb.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=30
[12:47] <Dr_Willis_> anyone recall seeing a guide to get a specific command to run on a console at boot time? I lost my notes. I recall some commannd that you passed the command to 'run' to that could grab a console for its own use
[12:47] <alex88> Andrew9: gadmin-samba
[12:47] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: I'm not sure if Vbox has something like that
[12:48] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: ah, see, I've tried it before with XP and had no luck at all, I was hoping maybe it worked on 7
[12:48] <bora> I tried those insturctions as well
[12:48] <Andrew9> alex88: just normal samba settings gui which should be in the administration menu
[12:48] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: ok, so I'll check out that thread you sent me to and see if I can boot in there and try to convert it
[12:48] <noisewaterphd> Spanglish_7776: thanks for the pointers
[12:48] <alex88> noisewaterphd: windows 7 has a thing like that, to create a image from disk, to use on virtual pc.. but you can also use on virtualbox and wmware
[12:49] <Spanglish_7776> noisewaterphd: no prob
[12:49] <alex88> Andrew9: samba settings? like what?
[12:49] <noisewaterphd> alex88: win 7 has a built in tool? do you happen to have a link, or know the name?
[12:49] <bugaloo> hi all! does anybody know how can I mark a package to never upgrade?
[12:49] <Andrew9> alex88: like i go to the settings and see settings
[12:50] <Andrew9> alex88: i need to set password and logs
[12:50] <jrib> bugaloo: why?
[12:50] <eskofd> Whenever I try to run an OpenGL program on ubuntu 10.04 after about 20 seconds I get this: drmRadeonCmdBuffer: -22. Kernel failed to parse or rejected command stream. I've got ATI RS480 Graphics card. Anyone that could help me, please =)
[12:50] <tensorpudding> gnome-terminal doesn't seem to want to read my .bash_profile automatically
[12:50] <jrib> tensorpudding: why would it?
[12:50] <bugaloo> jrib, I need to login in a Netware network in my work, and it requires a specific version of ncpfs
[12:51] <jrib> !pinning | bugaloo
[12:51] <Andrew9> alex88: there must be a package which adds Samba Settings to administration menu
[12:51] <tensorpudding> jrib: because that would satisfy my expectations! :)
[12:51] <jacek_> hi all
[12:51] <tensorpudding> but seriously, why wouldn't it?
[12:51] <Zelozelos> is it possible to make it to where 2 single clicks on a filename will allow renaming?
[12:51] <Spanglish_7776> Andrew9: maybe SWAT will work?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis_> tensorpudding:  thats read by login shells  i think. such as 'xterm -ls'   nomrla shells dont read that one
[12:51] <alex88> noisewaterphd: looking at
[12:51] <jrib> tensorpudding: what do you want to do?
[12:51] <mukul> #ubuntu-sugarteam
[12:51] <alex88> Andrew9: sorry haven't seen, btw just try that gadmin package
[12:52] <tensorpudding> I want to load my highly customized bash configuration
[12:52] <Andrew9> Spanglish_7776: no it won't
[12:52] <Dr_Willis_> tensorpudding:  also  the system i think thesed days use .profile   instead of .bash_profile
[12:52] <jrib> tensorpudding: put it in the right file?  I still don't know what you are doing but ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc depending on that
[12:52] <tensorpudding> That's not usual where I'm from.
[12:52] <red2kic> "# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login exists.""
[12:53] <Dr_Willis_> tensorpudding:  check the .profile file comnments
[12:53] <bugaloo> jrib, perfect... I did look for it on synaptic but I just didn't see it... sorry and thank you
[12:53] <forkup> tensorpudding: it can use .bashrc
[12:53] <tensorpudding> I'm new to Ubuntu, mostly. Haven't used it since 7.10
[12:53] <tensorpudding> I have .bashrc also
[12:53] <tensorpudding> It's not loading that.
[12:53] <forkup> 10.04 does on my system
[12:53] <Dr_Willis_> normally the last line of the .bash_profile or .profile loads the .bashrc
[12:53] <jrib> tensorpudding: are you using bash...
[12:53] <tensorpudding> Yes.
[12:54] <jrib> tensorpudding: how are you determining your ~/.bashrc isn't being read?
[12:54] <Nuka-Cola> I just installed "Gnome Do", added/removed various apps on the "Docky" toolbar, and now Ubuntu freezes up when I reboot. Two windows appear at startup; the "Gnome Do" search window, and a window for "Unlock Login Keyring". I've never seen this keyring, and it won't allow me to enter a password. I can't click or type in Ubuntu, but the clock is still ticking so it's not truly frozen.
[12:54] <tensorpudding> It sets $PS1, and a ton of aliases and environment variables.
[12:54] <tensorpudding> When I start gnome-terminal, none of those are set.
[12:55] <Dr_Willis_> tensorpudding:  put an echo command in each file.. printing that its running.. see whats going on.. also try just 'xterm' to see if its doing it in there.
[12:55] <tensorpudding> actually hmm, nevermind
[12:55] <tensorpudding> it is loading .bashrc
[12:55] <red2kic> Nuka-Cola: Unlock Login Keyring occurs when you enable AutoLogin. Also, you can change Gnome-Do Preference to start silently.
[12:55] <Dr_Willis_> .bash_profile is read ONLY by login shells.
[12:55] <tensorpudding> Best configure gnome-terminal to use login shells then
[12:55] <Dr_Willis_> or optmize your scripts some more.
[12:55] <jrib> tensorpudding: no, best to use the right files for what you want to do :)
[12:55] <red2kic> tensorpudding: You installed using Ubuntu Desktop CD?
[12:56] <alex88> noisewaterphd: http://www.winimage.com/ this has the tool, shareware but for 1 time use can be useful
[12:56] <Dr_Willis_> some things only need to get set once at login. that the differance
[12:57] <bora> im done
[12:57] <tensorpudding> I have configured my scripts to work well on my other systems.
[12:57] <jrib> tensorpudding: if you read « man bash », you'll see ~/.bash_profile will only be read for login shells
[12:58] <bora> gotta find my fedora cd
[12:58] <noisewaterphd> alex88: thanks
[12:58] <ivedoneitnow> hi. somehow i managed to screw up my kernel and couldnt boot up, and had to revert to a previos version to boot up with. is there a way to re-install the kernel that i screwed up so it works properly again? thanks.
[12:58] <tensorpudding> I actually knew that, but I was expecting the terminal emulator to start up a login shell.
[12:58] <rapsli> has somebody experience with this: http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Repository/firmware#Flashing_the_firmware
[12:58] <jrib> tensorpudding: oh, ok, but it doesn't
[12:59] <figure002> ivedoneitnow: you could use your package manager for that
[12:59] <tensorpudding> It is the default behavior in urxvt, which is what I probably will end up using.
[12:59] <tensorpudding> I forgot that I hate gnome-terminal's usurping of some keybindings
[12:59] <arun__> []what do we call the rightmost portion of the top bar which shows an icon of running software(ex. vlc media player) ? :) :)
[12:59] <arun__> in ubuntu dektop
[13:00] <Morten_> systray ?
[13:00] <alex88> arun__: system notifications?
[13:00] <slinker1> notification area?
[13:00] <jrib> tensorpudding: yeah, I disable all that stuff in prefernecs
[13:00] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: recovery mode not works? tried live cd wit chroot?
[13:00] <tensorpudding> I do like the transparency of gnome-terminal though
[13:00] <jrib> tensorpudding: meh
[13:01] <Dr_Willis_> useless eye candy in place of useable features. ;)
[13:01] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: recovery mode did not work. tried live cd and chroot to filesystem but then what
[13:02] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: mmhh..install a kernel with dpkg
[13:02] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: put deb files of a kernel ad run install..but i'm not sure it will work
[13:02] <ivedoneitnow> isnt there an apt-get command or something? ><
[13:03] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: well, reinstall a kernel, yes
[13:03] <jamesanelay> Hi, Im running ubuntu , postfix and dovecot. and I cant recive e-mails allthought I can sen them. is there a part of the postfix config that will stop or allow smtp conntections from external ips??
[13:03] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: apt-get install linux-image-generic maybe
[13:03] <arun__> alex88: Morten_ slinker1 : I think it's systray which has all the applications running in background !!
[13:03] <tensorpudding> Oy, I am a tedious fool, I was depending on an .Xdefaults for the login shell behavior
[13:04] <alex88> arun__: it's a panel tool, go to add a panel tool and read it's name.. sorry but i've in italian and i don't know how is writed in english
[13:04] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: heh just tried it no go
[13:04] <jrib> tensorpudding: yeah, I didn't think urxvt started login shells by default
[13:04] <andy_> what do i have to do if my systm partition is nearly full, but i ahve anotuher partition wit enoguh space. Can i link them somehwo so that my system begin writing to that big partition?
[13:05] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: what's the problem on boot?
[13:05] <alex88> andy_: the other is empty?
[13:05] <jrib> andy_: well you can put a big folder just on that partition, like /home maybe?
[13:05] <llutz> jamesanelay: you should ask at #postfix but you'd better read this before http://www.postfix.org/documentation.html
[13:05] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: black screen and no disc activity
[13:05] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: have you reinstalled windows and re-set grub?
[13:05] <jamesanelay> thankss llutz
[13:05] <arun__> alex88: is it notification area?? I cant see anything better in Add To Panel
[13:05] <andy_> i can do that, just move the home folder to that partition?
[13:06] <glickhole> howdy
[13:06] <alex88> arun__: are the same icons displayed?
[13:06] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: whats windows?
[13:07] <andy_> alex88, yes, its free space
[13:07] <jrib> !seperatehome | andy_
[13:07] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: ok, not that... cause i've had the same problem after windows reinstall..
[13:07] <glickhole> hey how is the new ubuntu remix? i have a little asus eeepc 2 gigs of ram, 250gig hard drive, etc and im wondering if i should run lucid full on it or nbr?
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[13:07] <jrib> !separatehome | andy_
[13:07] <alex88> andy_: empty space? not same icons? (vlc etc)
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: you can run either, thats more ram than i have in al my systems
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: what is the cpu / video card
[13:08] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: actually it happened sometime while i was playing with plymouth
[13:08] <Andrew9> whats the point of samba user and password if it doesn't work?
[13:08] <glickhole> ActionParsnip, is the nbr a little friendlier on netbook displays
[13:08] <glickhole> ActionParsnip, some intel video card cpu is a dual core atom
[13:08] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: oh lol, right...tried to remove it?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: works here just dandy, password requests are gooood
[13:09] <ivedoneitnow> alex88: no tried to use the themes
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: should be great then, if you like the remix gui then go for it :)
[13:09] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: it never woked for me
[13:09] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: i've asked if you've tried to remove it to fix the problem..
[13:09] <glickhole> i havent tried the remix gui thats what im asking, how it was
[13:09] <Spanglish_7776> Andrew9: did you do create a samba user with smbpasswd?
[13:09] <Andrew9> Spanglish_7776: i did
[13:09] <escaped> hello, i am on osx 10.6, but they have a bash shell with utf8. In the mac chan i could not get any help. Probobly some linux user has an idea.
[13:09] <escaped> i've got some files from an windows user and wanted to batch convert them to utf8. But i have a Problem with the filename encoding. (example: Apr%8As-Ski.jpg).
[13:09] <escaped> I tried using convmv. but with "convmv —unescape —notest —replace" the file disapears. "convmv -f iso-8859-15 -t utf-8" does nothing.
[13:09] <glickhole> or is rather
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER    should create the password for you
[13:09] <alex88> glickhole: nothing special..just for low-res pc..
[13:09] <ivedoneitnow> alex88:no hehe
[13:10] <figure002> ivedoneitnow: you could try to reinstall grub2.. that's should at least get rid of the black screen on startup
[13:10] <KM1KZ3> !help
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: mainly just a lot of vertical tweaks to suit smaller screens
[13:10] <glickhole> alex88, is it a pain in the whahoo to navigate
[13:10] <alex88> ivedoneitnow: try that..on 10.04 alpha it fixed some problems..maybe the same that you have now..
[13:10] <glickhole> hmm
[13:10] <alex88> glickhole: no, it's nothing hard..just useless
[13:10] <glickhole> usless?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> ivedoneitnow: figure002: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[13:10] <glickhole> whys it useless
[13:11] <alex88> glickhole: if you don't have small screen pc.yes
[13:11] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: and how do i use that password?
[13:11] <alex88> glickhole: netbook remix gui
[13:11] <Destructo> if im using gparted what should ipick when erasin usb stick.. msdos, loop, aix, amiga , bsd, etc ..
[13:11] <glickhole> i do have a small screen
[13:11] <glickhole> im on a netbook
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: well the username is the user who ran the command. the password is the one you set
[13:11] <alex88> glickhole: oh, so it can be useful for most used program access
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: I even installed it on my dad's desktop because its nice and simple
[13:12] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: and what is th euse for this password?
[13:12] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: use*
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: to access the samba shares
[13:12] <glickhole> hmm
[13:12] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: but it doesn't work!
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> glickhole: watch some vids on youtube of it, see what you recon
[13:12] <ivedoneitnow> ActionParsnip: ive been in this channel a lot and your alwaly fixin everyones problems!! oh god help me action!!! hehe
[13:12] <red2kic> Andrew9: You create it -- Use the same one on your Ubuntu machine if you want to keep it simple. It is nice to be able to supply your friend a SAMBA access to your machine using a temporary password without revealing your linux's password. :)
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: is that how you enabled the password?
[13:13] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: i tried gadmin-samba
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> ivedoneitnow: the guide will fix your black screen at boot dude
[13:13] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: and did what you suggested
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: use the command I gave, i've not used gadmin as I understand the command line
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: you may have to restart samba to make it appl
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> y
[13:14] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: sudo samba restart
[13:14] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: no effect
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: thought it was sudo service samba restart (if your command shows the service restarting then its all good)
[13:15] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: samba: unrecognized service
[13:15] <ivedoneitnow> ActionParsnip: i did two comands and now i get black screen http://fpaste.org/zmZ3/ attempting to get a nice theme working for plymouth
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: ok well just do what it takes to restart the service and its good, could even estart to cover all bases
[13:16] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: restarting
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> ivedoneitnow: sounds like your video driver is proprietary, use this to make the boot use the framebuffer driver: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[13:18] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: now i can't even access it
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> ivedoneitnow: its the list of commands above the embedded video
[13:18] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: are you asked for a password?
[13:19] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: no access to ip
[13:19] <philinux> Dban - never used it before. Is quick erase good enough for passing pc on to third party.
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: then thats a networking issue, not samba. Can you ping the IP?
[13:20] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: i can
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: then check the service is running
[13:20] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: why won't it be running?
[13:20] <bugaloo> Andrew9, see at /etc/init.d if there is the samba file
[13:20] <bugaloo> Andrew9, sometimes it's with name  "smb"
[13:20] <Guest33065> hi
[13:20] <topitobot> hi
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: no idea, if you arent getting the connection then possibly the service isnt running
[13:21] <topitobot> i need to install ubuntu in a computer that has windows
[13:21] <topitobot> do i need to format first?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: or there is a firewall blocking stuff
[13:21] <jrib> topitobot: no, installer can do that
[13:21] <topitobot> whats is the formatting useful for?
[13:21] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: not strictly, you can resize the partition to make room for a dual boot
[13:21] <Zaraphrax> topitobot: No but you'll neeed to partition the disk
[13:21] <bugaloo> Andrew9, also, try the port 139 and 445... you can do that using telnet (telnet ip port)... see if the port is open
[13:22] <Andrew9> bugaloo: samba4 and smbd is what's there
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: dleting all the data on the current drive/partition(s)
[13:22] <jrib> topitobot: huh?
[13:22] <topitobot> why partition ? i dont want to have windows
[13:22] <Zelozelos> how do i change the pointer for the desktop AND everything else, i cant seem to get rid of the simple lookin pointer
[13:22] <topitobot> just ubuntu
[13:22] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: on the client run: sudo smbtree
[13:22] <bugaloo> Andrew9, you can try to start with "service smb start" then, I guess
[13:22] <bugaloo> ops
[13:22] <bugaloo> service smbd start
[13:22] <jrib> topitobot: just put in the disk and follow the instructions, you'll be fine
[13:22] <Andrew9> bugaloo: already running
[13:23] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: then you will want to format, the installer has an option to use the entire disk. Make sure your backups of any data are recent before starting as it will destroy all data
[13:23] <bugaloo> hm
[13:23] <bugaloo> Andrew9, do you have any firewall rule on the samba box?
[13:24] <ActionParsnip> Zelozelos: right click desktop -> change background -> Theme tab -> Customise -> Pointer tab
[13:24] <topitobot> why do i need to format ActionParsnip , i just have windows in my computer , formatting is not for deleting partitions?
[13:24] <manas> how do i update software catalog
[13:24] <Andrew9> bugaloo: i installed ubuntu 15 min ago, installed nvidia drivers and samba4 only
[13:25] <Andrew9> bugaloo: if firewall is enabled by default i didn't touch it
[13:25] <bugaloo> Andrew9, try disable any firewall rule anyway, maybe you have some by default
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: no, formatting will erase the data, Ubuntu cannot be installd to windows partitions so it will need to be formatted to ext2/ext3/ext4 etc so that Ubuntu will work.
[13:25] <bugaloo> try this: iptables -F
[13:25] <theadmin> Is there a key combo to minimize all windows?
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> manas: sudo apt-get update
[13:25] <yunintegral_> how can i express "#" in regular expression? \# <-- it doesn't work
[13:25] <theadmin> (in GNOME)
[13:25] <Zelozelos> ActionParsnip, nope, its only diff in apps, (well some parts of apps) or when i resize a window, the normal pointer is still the same dmz white one, even if i choose a diff default pointer like the dmz black,,,,still the white one on the desktop
[13:25] <jacek_> hi all
[13:25] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: why samba4 ?
[13:26] <jrib> yunintegral_: in what context?
[13:26] <manas> ive done that
[13:26] <topitobot> ActionParsnip the installer of ubuntu will do that formatting?
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> yunintegral_: /#    to escape it
[13:26] <ActionParsnip> manas: then your systems knowledge of what is on your repositorys is up to date
[13:26] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: i was installing everything samba to get setting gui, now i'm guessing i should uninstall it
[13:26] <manas> im trying to install lightening for thunderbird through software center.
[13:26] <finemann> hi, i have many books in the form of pdf. is there any software that i can use to manage them?
[13:27] <rsk> finemann: yes
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: i would, just install samba and it will be fine
[13:27] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: and remove samba4
[13:27] <topitobot> ActionParsnip the installer of ubuntu will do that formatting? or i need to do it appart?
[13:27] <bugaloo> Andrew9, ActionParsnip is right... try to uninstall samba4
[13:28] <finemann> rsk: which is?
[13:28] <rsk> finemann: whatever you prefer
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: the install disk will do all tat for you :). Read the screen during install. One screen will be the formatting screen, just tell the installer to use the entire disk and it will all be handled for you (I believe it's the defaul)
[13:28] <topitobot> ok
[13:28] <ActionParsnip> topitobot: just read everything and you can't go wrong
[13:29] <johnbart> hello
[13:30] <johnbart> Does anybody know how to fix the problem where Evolution wont expunge email from trash?
[13:30] <bugaloo> Andrew9, try this: "smbclient -I <IP_ADDRESS> -L \\<IP_ADDRESS>" (blank password should work)... see if you get any answer
[13:30] <bugaloo> Andrew9, do that from your samba machine
[13:30] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: samba4 removed
[13:30] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: still no access to the ip
[13:31] <ihancioglu> hi I have shared a /tmp folder and symbolic link 1 folder from my home , I could not see that folder from windows , I fould something about "follow symlinks=yes" did not help to me
[13:31] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: so if you run: dpkg -l | grep samba     you only have samba installed and not samba4
[13:32] <Andrew9> bugaloo: it outs bunch of generic info
[13:32] <ActionParsnip> ihancioglu: you will need to edit that in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[13:32] <Jackolantern> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Afu-sUAykKs
[13:33] <philinux> Dban - never used it before. Is quick erase good enough for passing pc on to third party.
[13:33] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: can you use http://www.pastie.org to give the output please
[13:33] <ihancioglu> ActionParsnip ; Yes I have added that line to smb.conf and restart samba does not help to me
[13:33] <needhelp> My Ubuntu partition is using a lot of disk space, what are some of the culprits of heavy disk space usage?
[13:33] <rsk> needhelp: big files
[13:33] <stanley_robertso> needhelp, check the /usr/src .. there might be a zip file.. which you can remove it.. if you have a backup of it
[13:33] <BluesKaj> what about nautilus /places/add network folder wich uses the smbclient (samba back end)
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> ihancioglu: http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/How_to_setup_Samba_to_follow_symbolic_links%3F
[13:34] <ActionParsnip> needhelp: sudo apt-get clean   is a good place to start, also uninstalling old kernels can save ~120Mb per kernel
[13:34] <Andrew9> ActionParsnip: paste.ubuntu.com/464514
[13:34] <saganbyte> I ran the less /proc/cpuinfo command and got th info i needed... i can close the terminal window to exit.. but i wanted to know how i could exit from it without closing the window...
[13:35] <needhelp> stanley_robertso: There isn't anything there.
[13:36] <bugaloo_> oops
[13:36] <ActionParsnip> Andrew9: ok so the folders are listed for the localhost which is good
[13:36] <needhelp> ActionParsnip: I've already done that. :)
[13:36] <bugaloo> Andrew9, did you try telnet on samba ports
[13:36] <bugaloo> ?
[13:36] <Andrew9> bugaloo: no
[13:36] <stanley_robertso> needhelp, then you have to search for big files in the system and remove if not required
[13:36] <stanley_robertso> i hope you already verified the /tmp directory
[13:36] <bugaloo> Andrew9, try it from your samba client
[13:36] <saganbyte> okay, just 'q'
[13:36] <saganbyte> :P
[13:36] <bugaloo> Andrew9, telnet samba-ip 139
[13:36] <bugaloo> Andrew9, and telnet samba-ip 445
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> needhelp: then install bleachbit and clean stuff off with that (watch your browser settings or it'll clean your passwords up, and avoid the options stating they will take a long time)
[13:37] <needhelp> stanley_robertso: I'm doing that now, but it takes a long time to scan my whole filesystem. :(
[13:37] <bugaloo> Andrew9, see if you get response
[13:37] <wiencon> xD
[13:37] <Andrew9> bugaloo: name or service not known
[13:37] <abhijain> facing problem on scorll..display is blinking ....
[13:37] <stanley_robertso> no.. better .. go with /tmp and then /usr/src and then /usr/lib .. in thta order
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> needhelp: also run: dpkg -l | less    and remove stuff you don't use. If you only use writer in OpenOffice then consider removing it (300Mb) and installing abiword (12mb)
[13:37] <stanley_robertso> OR.. kick off whole scan .. and  go for a tea
[13:38] <stanley_robertso> :)

[13:39] <abhijit> wiencon, flsh 64 bit is not available
[13:39] <noisewaterphd> adobe killed 64bit flash for linux for now
[13:39] <abhijit> wiencon, you can innstall regular flash in 64 bit ubuntu
[13:39] <johnbart> Is there a channel for Evolution email?
[13:40] <wiencon> so what i should do?
[13:40] <noisewaterphd> there is a 10.0.x 64 bit binary kicking around online that works though
[13:40] <bugaloo> Andrew9, ok... so samba works on localhost but not from a remote host
[13:40] <wiencon> i cant do anythink
[13:40] <stanley_robertso> wiencon .. as abhijain said.. install the flash player [ 32 bit ] under 64 bit machine
[13:40] <wiencon> i can even watch video on youtube
[13:40] <bugaloo> Andrew9, maybe you have any process blocking you
[13:40] <abhijit> stanley_robertso, :D abhijain its me abhijit
[13:40] <bugaloo> Andrew9, did you try "iptables -F" on samba machine?
[13:40] <willemb> Hi.  My empathy accounts are not connected, and trying to re-add them does not work, as the accounts screen never comes up.  any advice?
[13:41] <abhijit> wiencon, you can ? or you cannot?

[13:41] <Gordon_G> Hi! does anyone know how to fix the splash screen resolution?
[13:42] <romildo> In a Makefile, what would be an implicit rule to make a binary "prog" from an icon source program "prog.icn" using the command "icont $<"?
[13:42] <Andrew9> bugaloo: i tried iptables -F no result
[13:43] <bugaloo> Andrew9, still not working?
[13:43] <abhijit> wiencon, see if you can get any info from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash
[13:43] <bugaloo> you should get no answer for the iptables command, but try again samba
[13:44] <bugaloo> if not, i have no idea :)
[13:44] <wiencon> abhijit thanks
[13:44] <abhijit> wiencon, welcome :)
[13:45] <noisewaterphd> wiencon: i have a working 64 bit binary if you want it
[13:45] <abhijain> abhijit: flash for 32 bit
[13:45] <bugaloo> Andrew9, do you have gnome installed on the same machine you have samba?
[13:45] <noisewaterphd> you just unpack it to /usr/lib/firefox/wjatever/whatever
[13:46] <abhijit> abhijain, thats was question or statement? I dont understand it
[13:46] <johnbart> Does anybody use Evolution? Should I switch to Thunderbird?
[13:46] <Andrew9> bugaloo: windows sharing is nonsense and linux is even worse..
[13:46] <wiencon> noisewaterphd ok a will be grateful:)
[13:46] <abhijit> johnbart, I use evolutin
[13:46] <willemb> johnbart:  I use Evolution
[13:46] <Andrew9> bugaloo: its ubuntu so i guess it has gnome installed
[13:46] <willemb> it works for me for everthing except google calendar publishing
[13:46] <johnbart> Have any of you encountered the trash problem?
[13:46] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: i used to prefer thunderbird over eveolution, but over the last few years that has reversed, evolution is very nice
[13:47] <blain> johnbart you should definitly switch to thunderbird
[13:47] <noisewaterphd> but, they both are fine
[13:47] <johnbart> I need to be able to empty the trash...
[13:47] <bugaloo> Andrew9, I really can't imagine what is wrong for you... I've installed ubuntu here and it always works with samba by default
[13:47] <stanley_robertso> guys.. one question.. i downloaded ubuntu 10 series [ .iso DVD file ] .. but when trying to bring it up in VM .. just a blank screen shows up
[13:47] <IdleOne> abhijain: did you not tell stanley_robertso that you are abhijit ?
[13:47] <Andrew9> bugaloo: it worked by default
[13:48] <abhijit> IdleOne, again the same issue. he is not me.
[13:48] <Andrew9> bugaloo: it broke after i tried to set password
[13:48] <stanley_robertso> any additional config we need to do ...unlike other flavours
[13:48] <gartral> HEY ALL. IM  HONESTLY STUCK ON CAPS. MY LAPTOPS CAPS KEY LIGHT IS FLICKERING, EXTERNAL KEYBOARD WILL NOT oVeRride
[13:48] <IdleOne> abhijit: ok

[13:48] <stanley_robertso> lol abhijit
[13:48] <noisewaterphd> stanley_robertso: did you download a live version?
[13:48] <bugaloo> Andrew9, maybe you could remove and reinstall it?
[13:48] <gartral> I CAN TAKE A VIDEO IF YPU WANT
[13:48] <Andrew9> bugaloo: i am doing it
[13:48] <IdleOne> gartral: turn off caps from the laptop
[13:49] <stanley_robertso> its ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso   noisewaterphd
[13:49] <gartral> IR DOESNT WORK AT ALL
[13:49] <Misterio> !caps | gartral
[13:49] <Andrew9> TREllis: use ctrl+c to copy non-caps
[13:49] <quesada> anyone knows a way to get scrollwheel working on man, less, etc under urxvt?
[13:49] <bugaloo> Andrew9, ok... good luck
[13:49] <gartral> Misterio: I CANT TURn CAPS OFF
[13:49] <IdleOne> gartral: ##hardware perhaps or search for some solution online
[13:49] <Misterio> gartral: and that n?
[13:49] <noisewaterphd> stanley_robertso: vmware player or virtualbox?
[13:49] <stanley_robertso> virtual box.. i shld be specific
[13:50] <gartral> CAPS KEEPS fLICKING ON ANd OFF
[13:50] <needhelp> gartral: Hold down shift when typing.
[13:50] <stanley_robertso> iam able to install/use ubuntu 9 .. but not 10 series
[13:50] <noisewaterphd> i'd say ditch the dvd, and just install from the iso and see what happens
[13:50] <gartral> ok, rhat works
[13:50] <bugaloo> gartral, maybe you have a keyboard problem :P
[13:50] <stanley_robertso> yes.. i booted the virtual box .. using the .iso itself
[13:50] <stanley_robertso> just a black screen comes up
[13:50] <stanley_robertso> :(
[13:50] <CedricAthelstone> gartral: clean your keeyboard! :-)
[13:50] <noisewaterphd> i see
[13:51] <abhijain> abhijit: oh, sorry i  mean 32 bit flash i already installed .then shouuld need to update
[13:51] <gartral> beyond cleanong
[13:51] <dapper> does anyone know of a good resource for installing/configuring openldap on lucid?  i tried to follow http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html, but it seems to have quirks i don't know how to resolve
[13:51] <noisewaterphd> i hate to send you away, but you'd have better luck on the virtualbox channel
[13:51] <crashev> which package contains mkinitrd tool ?
[13:51] <stanley_robertso> noisewaterphd,  i hope you are referring me :)
[13:51] <newbie85> hey
[13:51] <abhijit> abhijain, I am completely confused. You just started from the statement that something like ubunt 32 bit. I cant get nothng frm that
[13:51] <noisewaterphd> somebody over there will likely have run into the issue
[13:52] <noisewaterphd> stanley_robertso: ya
[13:52] <newbie85> i'm trying to install the ubuntu netbook version 10.04 on my netbook, can i install it side by side by my windows xp?
[13:52] <crashev> newbie85: yep
[13:52] <blain> sure
[13:52] <stanley_robertso> will try in the vbox channel .. be right back :)
[13:52] <soicon> hi guys, I can not send/recieve files through yahoo in pidgin any more. Any ideas why ?
[13:52] <scooter12> y
[13:52] <blain> you can only use one at one time though
[13:52] <noisewaterphd> stanley_robertso: I'm not saying that nobody here could help, just that that sounds like a virtual box problem, not an ubuntu problem, so those guys might be of better assistance
[13:53] <Andrew9> bugaloo: it works. how do i set password?
[13:53] <blain> passwd ?
[13:53] <bugaloo> Andrew9, smbpasswd --help
[13:53] <tensorpudding> smbpasswd
[13:54] <bugaloo> Andrew9, remember, the samba user has to exist on system
[13:54] <Gambino> I just installed Ubuntu side by side with WinXP and Googled enough to find a program that starts with a 'W' (Sorry, I'm trying to refind). It partitions and does everything for you.
[13:54] <blain> qtparted Gambino
[13:54] <gartral> is there a way to blacklist the built-in keyboard?
[13:54] <wiencon> abhijit it dosen't working ;/
[13:54] <bugaloo> Andrew9, you can also use the swat interface... it's pretty cool :)
[13:54] <abhijit> wiencon, which?
[13:54] <blain> SWAT? :O
[13:54] <Gambino> Oh... Still learning xchat.
[13:54] <newbie85> how, cause when i get on the prepare disk space menu, i have 3 options, the first is to erase and use the entire disk, second is use the largest continuous free space and the third is specify partitions manually
[13:54] <bugaloo> lol
[13:55] <wiencon> abhijit i do like it was written in this toturial
[13:55] <blain> newbie85 2nd choice i think
[13:55] <noisewaterphd> wiencon: PM me and I'll send you a working 64 bit binary
[13:55] <wiencon> abhijit but i even cant downlowad flash 64 bit
[13:55] <newbie85> 2nd choice just shows my flash disk
[13:55] <abhijit> wiencon, hmm
[13:55] <newbie85> i mean the usb drive
[13:55] <blain> newbie85 you can try sizing down the window partition, i recomend defragmenting it first
[13:56] <abhijit> wiencon, which ver of ubuntyu?
[13:56] <newbie85> how do i do it?
[13:56] <wiencon> 9.04

[13:56] <soicon> hi guys, I can not send/recieve files through yahoo in pidgin any more. Any ideas why ?
[13:57] <abhijit> wiencon, have you first removed installed 32 bit by doing sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer ?

[13:57] <soicon> needhelp: 2.6.6 has the same problem
[13:58] <needhelp> soicon: Is this the bug? http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/12213
[13:58] <needhelp> soicon: If so, it will be fixed in the next release.
[13:58] <needhelp> soicon: Or you could get a daily build now.
[13:58] <Andrew9> bugaloo: i'll be afk. i'll read samba manuals later today.. thanks for your help
[13:59] <bugaloo> Andrew9, no problem
[13:59] <soicon> needhelp: oh that's it, thank you very much ^^.

[14:07] <Serdar> hi there
[14:07] <willemb> wow, is it normal for all the directories in .gconf/apps/emapthy/* to only contain a file called %gconf.xml ?
[14:07] <Serdar> I installed ubuntu 10.04 on my hp 2710p and got stuck with my wlan
[14:07] <bugaloo> Serdar, what's the problem?
[14:08] <Serdar> I can't activate it with the nm-applet, but it's available because dmesg says so.
[14:08] <Serdar> it seems like my activate button of the 2710p does not activate it
[14:08] <bugaloo> Serdar, can you activate it from terminal?
[14:08] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: check your PM
[14:09] <Serdar> bugaloo, rfkill list says: Wireless LAN hardblocked yes
[14:09] <Serdar> bugaloo, activate like sudo ifconfig wlan0 up?
[14:09] <bugaloo> Serdar, yes
[14:09] <bugaloo> Serdar, or sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[14:09] <vikas_> hi all
[14:10] <bugaloo> Serdar, my hp laptop is an old dv2000... on your hp, the hardblock is an real button or a function on keyboard?
[14:10] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, yo yo yo
[14:11] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: did that work for you now
[14:11] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, no
[14:11] <Serdar> bugaloo, I can't get SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
[14:11] <erUSUL> Serdar: is a broadcom ?

[14:11] <bugaloo> Serdar, uh! bad error! lol
[14:11] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, sorry didn't notice pm
[14:11] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, will see if it works now
[14:12] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: you deleted the meta file and restarted evolution?
[14:12] <Serdar> erUSUL, no intel Wireless 4965 AG or AGN
[14:12] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: oh, OK
[14:12] <Serdar> bugaloo, you are damn right :)
[14:12] <erUSUL> Serdar: that error can be missing firmware. but afaik intel firmware comes with ubuntu
[14:13] <Rastatux> Bonjour
[14:13] <bugaloo> Serdar, well... it's not the best way, but you can try using ndiswrapper
[14:13] <Serdar> oh
[14:13] <vikas_> i installed gtk2.10.14, i want to know will it make any change to gdm of ubuntu
[14:13] <noisewaterphd> just be happy you have intel hardware and not some broadcom junk
[14:13] <vikas_> help
[14:13] <Serdar> erUSUL, I hoped that
[14:13] <noisewaterphd> vikas_: ask a specific question
[14:14] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, there is no trash.cmeta file in my local folder
[14:14] <noisewaterphd> you are in the .evolution folder right
[14:15] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, yes
[14:15] <bugaloo> abhijain, did flash plugin work?
[14:15] <noisewaterphd> are you using the command line
[14:15] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, no just using nautilus showing hidden files
[14:15] <sipior> vikas_: not unless you've rebuilt gdm against it.
[14:15] <vikas_> after installing gtk2.10.14 i am not been able to boot in gdm mode ubuntu start in command line mode. noisewaterphd
[14:16] <sipior> vikas_: how did you install it?
[14:16] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: well, I guess that in itself could be your problem
[14:16] <vikas_> sipior, ./configure make and make install
[14:17] <buddha_> hey guys
[14:17] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: search your filesystem for Trash.cmeta
[14:17] <buddha_> i have a problem
[14:17] <vikas_> sipior,
[14:17] <sipior> vikas_: you didn't overwrite the previously-installed version, did you?
[14:17] <abhijit> !ask | buddha_
[14:17] <buddha_> does anyone installed mac4lin?
[14:17] <noisewaterphd> do an updatedb, then use locate
[14:17] <bugaloo> vikas_, why did you do that?
[14:18] <vikas_> i then restarted my computer
[14:18] <sipior> vikas_: it installed to /usr/local? (i hope!)
[14:18] <buddha_> i have a problem by installing mac4lin /home/buddha/.themes: Kann chdir nicht ausführen: No such file or directory

[14:20] <rileyp> I'd really like to but Im struggling http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/wiki/Installation
[14:20] <stranger-2> erUSUL, bugaloo phlak_user yeah...I want to tell the UDEV the hardware is removes without äctually"disconnecting the device.
[14:21] <phlak_user> stranger-2: if its a module, then you can blacklist it

[14:21] <stranger-2> phlak_user, itś a HARDWARE
[14:21] <abhijit> ActionParsnip, :D
[14:21] <stranger-2> erth64net, how to do that ?

[14:21] <ActionParsnip> lasher: sudo touch /usr/bin/firefox-4.0      then retry
[14:21] <bugaloo> :)
[14:21] <lasher> ty
[14:21] <exitus> hi all
[14:21] <phlak_user> stranger-2: yes and HARDWARE is controlled by its driver which could be a module if not built-in
[14:21] <newbie85> can anyone walk me through ubuntu netbook 10.04 installation on my netbook, i don't know how to install it by my windows and i can't understand the online guide
[14:22] <newbie85> ?
[14:22] <rileyp> has anyone installed mythpodcaster on ubuntu I'd really like to but Im struggling http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/wiki/Installation as this is for redhat I think
[14:22] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, no Trash.cmeta on my system
[14:22] <phlak_user> newbie85: download the image, burn it on a usb stick, boot off it and install
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: what windows do you currently have?
[14:22] <stranger-2> erUSUL, I have many hardware controlled by ONE module, and I want just one hardware to get "removed"
[14:22] <RobsomeAwesome> newbie85: do you currently have an ISO program ?
[14:22] <stranger-2> so module unloading will not work....
[14:22] <newbie85> XP, i made the usb flash drive
[14:22] <RobsomeAwesome> That's how i installed 10.04 on my netbook
[14:22] <newbie85> i booted through it
[14:23] <newbie85> i'm
[14:23] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: this might be a silly question, but have you shutdown evolution and reopened it and tried?
[14:23] <Serdar> the driver is iwlagn
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: then boot to the USB and you can resize the NTFS in the installer
[14:23] <newbie85> i just dson't know how to install it next to my windows xp
[14:23] <lasher> subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[14:23] <FloodBot4> lasher: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:23] <phlak_user> newbie85: it would guide you through that process
[14:23] <epinky> !pastebin | lasher
[14:23] <lasher> yah wont do it again sry
[14:23] <ActionParsnip> lasher: use a pastebin for multilined output
[14:23] <stranger-2> any other idea ?
[14:24] <sipior> vikas_: try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgtk2.0-0"
[14:24] <newbie85> it doesn't guide me, it gives me 3 options, one is to eride the entire disk, the othe is to specify partitions manually
[14:24] <phlak_user> stranger-2: change udev rules
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> !dualboot
[14:24] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, yes
[14:24] <erUSUL> stranger-2: i was thinking in this /sys/bus/pci/drivers/r8169/unbind <<< iirc writting 1 to that file unbinds the driver from the hard
[14:24] <lasher> anybody successfully using firefox-4.0?
[14:24] <vikas_> ok what will it do sipior

[14:25] <noisewaterphd> tell me
[14:25] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, I just found my Trash.cmeta...
[14:25] <Serdar> I tried to unload and reload nothing changed
[14:25] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, It's in .#evolution.sbd
[14:25] <noisewaterphd> oh
[14:25] <newbie85> i just don't understand those guides
[14:26] <noisewaterphd> ok, my bad
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: you will need to read
[14:26] <noisewaterphd> i was going from memory
[14:26] <bugaloo> Serdar, not sure, but did you try to use the phy0 interface?
[14:26] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, But I dunno why it didn't show up when I searched for it
[14:26] <noisewaterphd> delete that and restart evolution and you might have it fixed
[14:26] <noisewaterphd> if you used locate the # would have thrown it off
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm
[14:27] <Serdar> bugaloo, you mean like ifconfig phy0 up? there is no such device it says
[14:27] <bugaloo> hm
[14:27] <blain> ifup eth0
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: make sure your backups of your data in XP are recent incase of catastrophe
[14:27] <bugaloo> Serdar, what if you only do "sudo iwconfig"?
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: you use gparted to resize the ntfs after defragging
[14:28] <Serdar> bugaloo, lo eth0 wlan0
[14:28] <johnbart> noisewaterphd, trash is now empty!
[14:28] <bugaloo> can you paste the respose of "sudo iwconfig wlan0"
[14:28] <bugaloo> ?
[14:28] <noisewaterphd> johnbart: Awesome!

[14:29] <noisewaterphd> now enjoy, like I said, even though you just had an issue, I've been liking evolution a lot more than thunderbird these days
[14:30] <noisewaterphd> and I used to be die-hard thunderbird
[14:30] <bugaloo> Serdar, can you paste the respose of "sudo iwconfig wlan0"?
[14:30] <noisewaterphd> it just started getting really buggy with contacts and multiple imap accounts for me
[14:30] <johnbart> thanks noisewaterphd
[14:30] <noisewaterphd> johnbart:np
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> armor-64: i'd ask in #winehq
[14:31] <serdar__> bugaloo, http://codepad.org/cEBWSgST
[14:32] <newbie85> all the guides you gave me links to show that ubuntu should give me an automatic option to resize my disk, why doesn't it do it?
[14:32] <armor-64> i can't find anything for the program in the winehq
[14:32] <abhijit> gartral, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725199
[14:32] <bugaloo> serdar__, weird... it seems good :\   you only get the error with "sudo iwlist wlan0 scan", right?
[14:32] <armor-64> actionparsnip ,i can't find anything for the program in the winehq
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: then run: gksudo gparted    you can resize the ntfs partition that way
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> armor-64: no, #winehq is an irc channel
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: you must backup to prevent data loss in the event of catastrophe and you must defrag
[14:34] <abhijit> gartral, also from win http://forums.techguy.org/windows-xp/586922-solved-disabling-built-keyboard.html
[14:34] <madlatvian> hey latvian where are you from
[14:34] <newbie85> do i defrag through windows?
[14:34] <armor-64> actionparsnip ,aaa sorry i was thinking about the site,how can i talt to the winehq irc?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: yes
[14:34] <serdar__> bugaloo, wlan0     Failed to read scan data : Network is down
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> armor-64: /join #winehq
[14:35] <serdar__> bugaloo, I guess it'S because of the wlan switch
[14:35] <serdar__> I guess it does not work with ubuntu
[14:35] <abhijit> newbie85, are you trying to resize ntfs partition?
[14:35] <erUSUL> serdar__: you can try to nstall latest drivers . « sudo aptitude install linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic »
[14:35] <newbie85> yep
[14:35] <armor-64> actionparsnip ,ok thanks a lot
[14:35] <bugaloo> serdar__, is the swtich a physical button? or a keyboard function?
[14:35] <bluebaron> where  can I go for evolution support?
[14:35] <abhijit> newbie85, you need to install extra code to let gparted able to do that
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> bluebaron: if its in ubuntu, then here
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> newbie85: let windows defrag its own stuff
[14:36] <abhijit> !pm | newbie85 no I wll talk here only
[14:36] <serdar__> bugaloo, physical, I can try to get an image
[14:36] <bugaloo> serdar__, try this: sudo rfkill unblock all
[14:37] <bugaloo> if it's physical, it should be no problem to see if it's enabled :)
[14:37] <newbie85> okay, so i'll log on windows
[14:37] <abhijit> newbie85, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96617

[14:57] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, Yes I did that as well but the issue is that once screen is on a much hire resolution then the other when the screen is the same model.  Can you help me resolve this issue please?
[14:57] <violinappren> Parsi: putty doesn't support graphical desktops
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  so you are on a windows machine,. ssh;d to a VPS (whatever that is) linux box, installed ubuntu-desktop.. then what?
[14:58] <DarkNemesis_> how to i generate a digital signiture?

[14:58] <Dr_Willis> mgcc:  i jus use the nvidia settings tool to set the res for my 2 monitors. both are dvi. so i rarely have res issues
[14:58] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, on screen 2 it wont give me the option to go above 640x480

[14:58] <bugaloo> DarkNemesis_, gpg?
[14:59] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, VGA card
[14:59] <bugaloo> Parsi, vnc?
[14:59] <Parsi> bugaloo: yes
[14:59] <DarkNemesis_> its for a document, not to encrypt
[14:59] <bugaloo> Parsi, i'm not sure if I understand what you're trying :)
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  your # of colors seems to be set low.    You need to configure vnc to serve up more colors.. or use Freenx for better performance
[14:59] <Parsi> bugaloo: :-s
[14:59] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, is there a file i can edit to force screen 2 on 1280x1024 resolution?  thats the resolution on my main screen
[14:59] <iskywalker> hi
[14:59] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: i need a loaded desktop!
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> mgcc:  after enabling twniview and saving to the xorg.conf - you may edit the xorg.conf
[15:00] <Parsi> bugaloo: what should i do?
[15:00] <iskywalker> i have a weird problem, when assigning the  ifconfig eth0 manueally i have a connection, but dhcp doesnt work
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:   You need to clarify what you are doing exactly. we are a bit confused.. Freenx and vnc both let you get to a 'remote' desktop
[15:00] <piero> how to install ip changer
[15:00] <arleslie> I'm unable to install update or empty the trash bin. Any ideas what is wrong?
[15:00] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, thats the problem, i dont know how to edit xorg.conf
[15:00] <bugaloo> Parsi, there is a init file for vncserver... I can't remember the name but it should appears to you when you start the server desktop
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> piero:  i dont think we know what you mean by 'ip changer'
[15:00] <abhijit> piero, i replied you above
[15:00] <iskywalker> I have a debian system connected here and it works nicely, can be that it checks the nmac address?
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> mgcc:  its  a text file.   use a text editor. backuyp your original.
[15:01] <violinappren> DarkNemesis_: a "digital signature" is a hash of a file signed by your private key, so hash it and use gpg
[15:01] <piero> i did not get it please
[15:01] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: i need the desktop complately

[15:01] <Spanglish_7776> Parsi: from my experience, remote desktop on ubuntu (vnc, etc) seems to only work when there is already a login session active and vnc is active
[15:01] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, no no i know that but the codes that would go inside is the issue
[15:01] <bugaloo> Parsi, I had a similar problem when my vnc was trying to start something like compiz
[15:01] <Parsi> bugaloo: i removed compiz
[15:01] <Spanglish_7776> Parsi: just installing a gui may not work
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  set up vnc to use more colors, or check your vnc client and tell it to use more colors. and it should look more normal.
[15:02] <Parsi> ok
[15:02] <Parsi> let me check more color
[15:02] <Parsi> colros
[15:02] <bugaloo> Parsi, let me check my vnc files, just a minute
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Spanglish_7776:  thats not totally correct. :_ you can install 'vncserver' and have a totally hidden desktop on  a server you connect to.. or have a dozen 'hidden' desktops'
[15:02] <Parsi> thank you bugaloo
[15:02] <epinky> Dr_Willis: hi, offtopic though, do you happen to know any alternative to Sheevaplug (Sheevaplug-like)? :)
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Spanglish_7776:  the GNOME 'built in share desktop' shares the local desktop  - thats one way
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> epinky:  never heard of it.
[15:02] <tensorpudding> there's the guruplug
[15:03] <bugaloo> parsi, look your ~/.vnc/  folder
[15:03] <Spanglish_7776> Dr_Willis: gotcha, only way i've done it is to use the built in function of remote desktop sharing. ;)
[15:03] <mgcc> Dr_Willis, could you please help me with that?
[15:03] <Parsi> bugaloo: a minute
[15:03] <bugaloo> Parsi, there is a "xstartup" file?
[15:03] <Parsi> bugaloo: is it vncserver problem?
[15:03] <bugaloo> Parsi, it seems
[15:04] <bugaloo> Parsi, this is my xstartup: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464550/
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> Spanglish_7776:  thats actually a relatively 'new' feature in gnome . :)  ive done the 'ssh in, run vncserver' method for years
[15:05] <bugaloo> Parsi, I had a similar problem and it was a vncserver conf problem... not sure because it was a long time ago, but try to take a look on the xstartup file... maybe you can make a backup of yours and try to use this one
[15:05] <Parsi> bugaloo: there is no .vnc in the root:-s
[15:06] <bugaloo> Parsi, are you starting vnc as root? lol
[15:06] <ManDay> Does anyone know whether xsetwacom is only a wrapper for xinput or not?
[15:06] <Parsi> bugaloo: yes :/
[15:06] <Parsi> bugaloo: i find it
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  why are you running vnc as root?
[15:07] <bugaloo> Parsi, really.. run it as root isn't a good idea
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> the user running 'vncserver' has a .vnc/ directory that has various vnc configs and log files.
[15:07] <Parsi> ah
[15:07] <Parsi> ok
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> the vncserver command also takes several options to tweak it as well.
[15:07] <josephseraos> Hi everybody. I'm looking for where I could find my friends on XChat. Could you help me?
[15:07] <Parsi> Dr_Willis: bugaloo http://paste.ubuntu.com/464553/
[15:08] <red2kic> josephseraos: We're your friends.
[15:08] <josephseraos> well. I know :)
[15:08] <bugaloo> Parsi, try to make a backup of your file and use mime: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464550/
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> josephseraos: you can use the /whois command
[15:08] <bugaloo> Parsi, It may work with some luck :)
[15:08] <Parsi> let me try
[15:08] <DarkNemesis_> is the pub half the half i share?
[15:08] <josephseraos> But, I have add a people in some place here, and I am not finding
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  thats the default script that defines what gets ran by the vncserver when it starts up. if you wanted to run for example icewm, and just a terminal. You could tweak that script
[15:09] <bugaloo> Parsi, see on your file that it's starting "x-terminal-emulator" (exactely that graphical terminal that you see on your desktop)... it should work replacing the file
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> I find it 'best' to let vnc always startup a terminal windiow.. just in case theres some other issues. :) i can still debug/start a second window manager via thst terminal
[15:10] <josephseraos> ?
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> Parsi:  also with vnc - its 'best' speed wise to use the most minimal desktop setup you can.
[15:10] <josephseraos> whois command?
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> josephseraos:  do you know their Nicks?
[15:11] <josephseraos> I can't remember
[15:11] <metalgeek_Newbie> HI, I have recently installed XChat from the sortware center.  Is this a good IRC Client? Can anyone suggest anything else? Also, I found an IRC channel called #Hardware on something called GamesSurge, but don't know much about IRC so don't know how to join.   "Notify: $USER is online (FreeNode) ?
[15:12] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, you can join a channel using /join #channel
[15:12] <AnxiousNut> how can i stop an ATI graphics card?
[15:12] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, but you have to know in what server the channel is :)
[15:12] <metalgeek_Newbie> bugaloo, Thats what i thought but how do i know
[15:12] <josephseraos> red2kic: I'm new on irc
[15:12] <eshat> How do I get the "choose locale" menu after lucid installed ? dpkg-reconfigure locales does only genarte the choosen locales, but I want to add some...
[15:12] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, about the server?
[15:13] <tensorpudding> Well, if you knew what network it's on
[15:13] <erUSUL> !locales | eshat
[15:13] <metalgeek_Newbie> yes
[15:13] <tensorpudding> for example, if it were on freenode, you'd put in freenode's server
[15:13] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, there are too many servers in the world :)
[15:13] <metalgeek_Newbie> Dr_Willis, Thanks for all your help yesterday, your the best!!!
[15:13] <tensorpudding> irc.freenode.net
[15:13] <red2kic> josephseraos: xchat? Generally we don't keep a list of friends. We just get along with whatever is going on with the channel. I mean, some people come in here once or twice and that's it. The regulars will be here often.
[15:13] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, people can create channel in any of them
[15:13] <metalgeek_Newbie> It said its on "GameSurge"??
[15:14] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, if you want a specific channel (like this one that you found on gamesurg), maybe you can look there for some information about the network they use
[15:14] <tensorpudding> gamesurge does appear to be an irc network
[15:14] <josephseraos> humm
[15:14] <tensorpudding> their server is irc.gamesurge.net
[15:14] <bugaloo> there it is
[15:14] <josephseraos> "Notify: RUSER is online (FreeNode)" is a command?
[15:14] <metalgeek_Newbie> tensorpudding, Thanks mate
[15:14] <tensorpudding> so you'd put that in for the server
[15:15] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, you can connect on irc.gamesurge.net then... and try /join #channel
[15:15] <josephseraos> is "Notify: RUSER is online (FreeNode)" a command?
[15:15] <josephseraos> is "Notify: $USER is online (FreeNode)" a command?
[15:15] <bugaloo> metalgeek_Newbie, if you're using xchat, you can open several server at the same time using different tabs
[15:16] <josephseraos> red2kic: is "Notify: $USER is online (FreeNode)" a command?
[15:16] <Misterio> josephseraos: Network's name is freenode, not FreeNode
[15:16] <red2kic> josephseraos: Well -- I added you and it displayed that right away. I'm assuming it'll display that when you already added friends and joined the channel/server.
[15:16] <metalgeek_Newbie> Do i ad it at the server list?
[15:16] <johnbart> Hello, I now have another problem
