[20:06] <|sanchez|> you need to provide MORE details to figure out what happened to solve your problem
[20:06] <sburwood> Jsanc
[20:06] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: what sound-card do you use?
[20:06] <[[thufir]]> if all else fails, I figure I'll install nero linux to get an external usb dvd writer going.
[20:07] <Turbolinux> Guntbert, my problem is package manager problem which you know. I asked before and it's a bit upper on channel messages.
[20:07] <sburwood> Jsanchez : IIt has worked for a couple of months, but just stopped working
[20:07] <Turbolinux> You can look on it.
[20:08] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: weird problem hey ? any luck ?
[20:08] <sburwood> not so far
[20:08] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: I have to take off, can you PM me your progress
[20:08] <sburwood> I thought I had explained it well
[20:08] <jamied66> MilitantPotato:  It's an IntelHDA (forget the number) in an HP Pavilion dv7.  I had to tweak a few config files in 9.04 to get rid of the stuttering issue lots of folks had.
[20:08] <guntbert> Turbolinux: how did you change servers?
[20:08] <Loren_Semple> that way when I get back I can check it out
[20:08] <sburwood> if I get any progress
[20:08] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: ok thank you taht would be great
[20:09] <sburwood> I agree
[20:09] <Loren_Semple> I would try and solve it, but I really have to take off.
[20:09] <sburwood> thanks to let me PM if I get an answer
[20:09] <meway> what is a command that I can use to remove an extention off a file name. like I have a bunch of files called whatever.conf.example   <- I want to remove example from them all.
[20:09] <sburwood> u will stay connected, even if you(re off
[20:09] <Loren_Semple> sburwood: if you are still stuck when I get back we can work together
[20:09] <Loren_Semple> take care bbl
[20:10] <sburwood> thx, U├®
[20:10] <sburwood> U2
[20:10] <Turbolinux> Guntbert, I choosed different servers from package manager repository settings section. But it still gives fetching errors.
[20:10] <oLife> Hi! I ran grep flags /proc/cpuinfo to see if my cpu is 32b or 64b and it said this: flags		: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc pebs bts pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl est cid cx16 xtpr
[20:10] <Elrox> sburwood, is your issue exactly like Loren_Semple 's? because his/her file eyetem is ALL messed up...
[20:11] <sburwood> anyone wanna field a question about how a system that worked, refuses to work because a lack of init?
[20:11] <oLife> I see lm possibly for long mode but I wanted a sure answer
[20:11] <jamied66> Potato: 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller (rev 03)
[20:11] <sburwood> Elrox: It is I who did the pastebin
[20:11] <meway> anyone know how to delete file extentions? from multiple files in one folder?
[20:11] <ZykoticK9> oLife, check the "model name" from cpuinfo instead
[20:12] <sburwood> Elrox:And Loren told me that his/hers was the same problem
[20:12] <guntbert> Turbolinux: in that dialog you can let the system find a "best" server for you - that will take some time - and not give the fastest server - but it should give you at least one server to work with
[20:12] <rhl6856> Hey can someone help me connect to a wired network via commandline
[20:12] <Elrox> sburwood, i did not see your pastebin, sorry
[20:12] <Turbolinux> I will do this. Thank you Guntbert.
[20:12] <rhl6856> Wicd is installed and I'm trying to remove it
[20:12] <oLife> Zykotick: How so?
[20:12] <brjann> meway: you can try the 'rename' command, like so:     rename -n 's/\.example$//' *.example
[20:12] <meway> its a command I just cannot find it
[20:12] <guntbert> Turbolinux: Good luck :-)
[20:12] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: try comment 10 from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487540
[20:13] <llutz> rhl6856: dhcp? "sudo ifconfig ethX up && sudo dhclient ethX"
[20:13] <brjann> meway: the -n switch just means that it will show you what it would do, without actually doing anything. if you're happy with the output, remove the -n and run it again
[20:13] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto
[20:13] <meway> brjann I think thats the one I was thinking of
[20:13] <Slart> meway: this might work       for a in $(ls); do mv $a `echo $a | sed 's/\(.*\)\..*/\1/'`; done
[20:13] <ZykoticK9> oLife, what is the output from "cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep name"
[20:13] <azlon> i am having problems with my samba share permissions. i have a user setup to only read one directory and i cant open the directory on the other computer
[20:13] <sburwood> Elrox: my pastebin is the following
[20:13] <brjann> Slart: rename is much easier :)
[20:13] <sburwood> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385880/
[20:13] <Slart> meway: oh... but brjann's looks much more elegant.. doh
[20:14] <sburwood> Elrox: http://paste.ubuntu.com/385880/
[20:14] <meway> Slart: lol
[20:14]  * Slart goes to read about the rename command
[20:14] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: also, check the sliders in alsa-mixer-gui
[20:14] <oLife> Zykotick: model name	: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
[20:14] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: sorry, gnome-alsamixer
[20:14] <sburwood> Elrox: can you answer in a PM?
[20:14] <rhl6856> Its now. Llutz giving that a try
[20:14] <vince> How can I add this ppa? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/i386/samba-common/2:3.4.0-3ubuntu5.5
[20:14] <sburwood> Elrox: If you find the answer
[20:14] <ZykoticK9> oLife, think that's 32bit
[20:15] <rhl6856> Its pumping out a bunch of dhcpdiscover msgs
[20:15] <rhl6856> Still no connections
[20:15] <Elrox> sburwood, i am trying to figure out why its trying to mount those in the /root user's directory, it doesn't make sense....
[20:15] <oLife> Zykotick: I think so too, it's a HT but I couldn't find a definite answer. Thanks!
[20:15] <MBaer> Hi Everyone.
[20:15] <justin22885> screw this.. im just copying all my windows 98 .dlls to a folder and placing them on linux for future use
[20:15] <sburwood> Elrox: I don't understand it either ... of course, I'm a n00b
[20:16] <Elrox> sburwood, when did you install this?
[20:16] <Turbolinux> Guntbert it gave to me about there is no suitable server found. It warns me for checking internet connection but my internet connection is working well.
[20:16] <|sanchez|> ubuntu have a built in equilizier for soud ?
[20:16] <azlon> is anybody familiar with samba share permissions?
[20:16] <sburwood> Elrox: Any chance that I could tell it to stop trying to mount that?
[20:16] <Slart> |sanchez|: nope.. not system wide at least
[20:16] <meway> brjann worked great thanks :D
[20:16] <rhl6856> Llutz that worked thanks
[20:16] <|sanchez|> grrrr
[20:16] <MBaer> Got an little Problem - I accidentally trashed my Grub boot loader (the whole boot sector is gone) Anyone know how to Recover it??? Thank you
[20:16] <Turbolinux> a error message.
[20:16] <brjann> meway: no problem, glad we could help :)
[20:16] <rhl6856> Reinstalling network manager
[20:16] <sburwood> Elrox: I installed it a long time ago - shortly after it came out
[20:17] <|sanchez|> MBaer you can rebuild grub pretty easily :)
[20:17] <Slart> |sanchez|: there was a pulseaudio patch or something floating around a while ago.. not sure if it worked reliably or why it wasn't picked up and included in the base
[20:17] <llutz> rhl6856: just one wired network? better use ifupdown than networkmanager
[20:17] <Elrox> sburwood, do this...   cd /       then do ls       and see if those directories are there?
[20:17] <guntbert> Turbolinux: proxy settings?
[20:17] <MBaer> Sanchez, any help in doing so would be great
[20:17] <rhl6856> No wireless to
[20:17] <rhl6856> Wicd was causing problems for my dad
[20:18] <sburwood> Elrox: In my case (I can't say if it's the same for Loren), I have a dual boot with a downloaded Win 7
[20:18] <sburwood> but that worked for some time
[20:18] <rhl6856> Networkmanager works better imho
[20:18] <obhk> hi, I'm looking for a good msn client that allows voice chatting and runs on Ubuntu; any suggestions?
[20:18] <rhl6856> Ekiga
[20:18] <rhl6856> Its a -free- skype
[20:18] <Slart> obhk: have you checked amsn? or.. emesen or whatever that other client was called
[20:19] <Turbolinux> Yes, I am using proxy service for Google Chrome but only for it. Proxy setting isn't affecting other programs.
[20:19] <obhk> Slart: I assumed amsn didn't allow voice chatting?
[20:19] <Turbolinux> But it should work I think.
[20:19] <Slart> obhk: I'm not sure either.. but they keep adding things all the time
[20:19] <Dan_E> how do i get root privileges in ubuntu 9.10
[20:20] <Slart> obhk: might be worth the time to just check their site
[20:20] <blakkheim> Dan_E: sudo su
[20:20] <Slart> !sudo | Dan_E
[20:20] <Dan_E> to edit a file?
[20:20] <blakkheim> Dan_E: sudo vi /pathto/file
[20:20] <morph> guys i just installed the newest kernel that supposedly supports magic mouse
[20:20] <Slart> Dan_E: gksudo gedit /some/file
[20:20] <morph> but its not working
[20:20] <morph> any ideas?
[20:20] <Dan_E> k
[20:20] <Slart> Dan_E: or even better..   EDITOR=gedit sudoedit /some/filename
[20:20] <sburwood> Elrox: In /root there is nothing
[20:21] <Slart> morph: which kernel is that? how did you install it?
[20:21] <jpizzle> how can I bridge my wifi card with my ethernet so I can use a crossover cable to connect my xbox to xbox live from my laptop?
[20:21] <Dan_E> what if i want to paste a file in a folder
[20:21] <blakkheim> Dan_E: you mean copy?
[20:21] <Elrox>  not in /root,,, in just /
[20:21] <Dan_E> yes
[20:21] <blakkheim> Dan_E: as root?
[20:21] <Elrox>  not in /root,,, in just /        sburwood
[20:21] <Dan_E> yes
[20:21] <blakkheim> Dan_E: sudo cp sourcefile /destination/directory
[20:22] <sburwood> Elrox: Is what in / ?
[20:22] <blakkheim> Dan_E: or replace cp with mv if you want to delete the original after moving
[20:22] <Slart> Dan_E: gksudo nautilus will give you a root file browser.. but please be careful with it.. it's easy to just accidently drag-drop something and mess up your entire system
[20:22] <Elrox> sburwood, type this...       cd /
[20:22] <Dan_E> k
[20:22] <sburwood> I am in /
[20:22] <Elrox>  then do      ls
[20:22] <sburwood> I did that
[20:22] <Elrox> whats there sburwood
[20:22] <francisco> Slart: but i have thunar not nautilus
[20:23] <Elrox> ?
[20:23] <Turbolinux> Guntbert can you help me? Thank you.
[20:23] <Slart> francisco: then gksudo thunar might work the same way
[20:23] <jamied66> MilitantPotato:  I added the modprobe config and rebooted.  the drivers aren't being loaded.  like the sound card isn't being picked up at all.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/385898/
[20:23] <Slart> francisco: same warnings apply there
[20:23] <sburwood> I have directories /dev, /lib /bin /init /conf /sys /tmp /root /usr /etc /sbin /scripts /proc and /var
[20:24] <sburwood> Elrox: I have directories /dev, /lib /bin /init /conf /sys /tmp /root /usr /etc /sbin /scripts /proc and /var
[20:24] <guntbert> Turbolinux: I asked you about proxy settings - without answer
[20:24] <Elrox> sburwood, good,,, and thats where they are supposed to be mounted,,, not in /root/xxxxx,    /root/    is the root user's home directory...
[20:24] <sburwood> Elrox: Btw, I have the problem on a desktop, but am asking the questions on a portable
[20:25] <sburwood> Elrox, how do I tell the system to look in the correct places??
[20:25] <Elrox> sburwood, could you pastebin this file...   /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:25] <sburwood> hold on a sec, Elrox
[20:25] <Turbolinux> I answered it. I am using proxy service for Google Chrome but only for it. Proxy setting isn't affecting other programs.
[20:25] <sburwood> and how do I do that?
[20:25] <sburwood> Elrox: How do I do that?
[20:26] <azlon> in smb.conf i created a share called movies and set invalid users to "david", but i am still able to view the directory with the username david...
[20:26] <guntbert> !who | Turbolinux I missed it :)
[20:26] <nuki> hello
[20:26] <justin22885> hey.. how do i convert in isz file to iso?
[20:26] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: /sbin/modprobe -l snd_hda_intel
[20:26] <devendra> have anyone used DB2 in linux ?
[20:26] <Elrox> sburwood,  do    sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebinit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:26] <nuki> hola
[20:27] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: should say updates/alsa/snd-hda-intel.ko or similar
[20:27] <dooglus> can someone help me get the wireless working reliably on this laptop please?
[20:27] <Turbolinux> I understand, That's not problem. :) So can you help me?
[20:27] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: if that all fails, install the backports module in synaptic for alsa, I'll find the package name if you can't
[20:27] <jamied66> output as kernel/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko
[20:28] <jakiw> Hi

[20:28] <jakiw> My IPod isnt recognised by gtkpod!
[20:28] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: also, cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | grep intel

[20:28] <jakiw> My IPod Touch isnt recognised by gtkpod!
[20:28] <dooglus> and other times I see the router but can't connect
[20:28] <dooglus> this time it's fine
[20:28] <guntbert> Turbolinux: I try, but I don't get your answers if you don't put my nick into them
[20:28] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: if it's blacklisted, remove it from the blacklist file.
[20:28] <dooglus> is there a less randomized driver than the default?
[20:29] <Guest8669> does anyone know why my webcam is responding with "Cannot identify device '/dev/video0'."?
[20:29] <Elrox> sburwood, or,,, if you have a USB flash drive, do    cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg /media/<name-of-disk-here>      and umount /media/<name-of-disk-here>   then take to desktop and paste it from where you're working
[20:29] <Turbolinux> guntbert: Sorry for this. I will be careful about this situation.

[20:31] <histo> dooglus: what chipset is on it?
[20:31] <nytek_> aliciapg: is it the correct device name?
[20:31] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: in synaptic, search for linux-backports-modules-alsa
[20:31] <aliciapg> nytek_: what do you mean by the correct device name? it's probably not
[20:32] <MilitantPotato> jamied66: see if installing that helps.
[20:32] <histo> dooglus: You may ahve to to go to System > Admin > Hardware Drivers if its a broadcom chipset and install the firmware
[20:32] <Turbolinux> OK. I will do this.
[20:32] <aliciapg> nytek_: i just don't know what to change it to
[20:32] <dooglus> histo: I don't know the chipset.  but I'm sat at the laptop now if there's anything I can do to tell you
[20:33] <histo> dooglus: go to Ssytem > Administration > Hardware drivers are there any restricted drivers availible for your system?
[20:33] <nytek_> aliciapg: go into you /dev/ and look for "video0"
[20:33] <dooglus> histo: Sys > Adm > Hardware Drivers tells me "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system" and offers "Help" or "Close"
[20:33] <aliciapg> nytek_: yeah that doesn't exist
[20:33] <dooglus> histo: there were when I first installed, but not now
[20:33] <MilitantPotato> jamied66:  sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-$ (uname -r)
[20:33] <guntbert> Turbolinux: and please use my nick - I'm reading several other channels too - and I don't want to miss your answer
[20:33] <dooglus> histo: I think there were two - one free, and one proprietary
[20:33] <nytek_> aliciapg: does anything with the prefix "video" exist?
[20:34] <aliciapg> nytek_: nope i got nothing
[20:34] <histo> dooglus: is there a broadcom one listed?
[20:34] <nytek_> aliciapg: looks like a driver problem
[20:34] <histo> dooglus: or anything pertaining to wireless
[20:34] <jakiw> Hi, my IPod Touch is recognized by Ubuntu (as IPod), but gtkpod, Hipo and Exaile with the Plugin dont see the IPod!
[20:34] <nytek_> nytek_: what ubuntu version do you have?
[20:34] <aliciapg> nytek_: but it was working earlier in the month, i think it broke after i updated or something...
[20:35] <dooglus> histo: I'll upload a screenshot
[20:35] <histo> jakiw: is it a 3rd gen ipod touch?
[20:35] <dooglus> histo: though I've described the window pretty fully
[20:35] <Turbolinux> But which configuration file? There are many files in apt.conf.d folder.
[20:35] <histo> dooglus: saying there are two availible is not describing it fully.
[20:35] <dannns> hi, is it possible to show timestamps for IRC in Empathy?
[20:35] <nytek_> aliciapg: what model computer do you have?
[20:35] <histo> dooglus: I can't see yoru screen
[20:35] <dooglus> histo: http://dooglus.rincevent.net/Screenshot-Hardware%20Drivers.png
[20:35] <dooglus> histo: click the link
[20:35] <jakiw> histo He is selled as a 3rd gen, but the IPod Touch 8GB hasnt any changes
[20:36] <dooglus> histo: I said 2 WERE available from the installer software, but not now
[20:36] <aliciapg> nytek_: well it's a dell inspiron 1525n
[20:36] <histo> jakiw: actually they have 3g with lower space
[20:36] <histo> jakiw: but the 3g's don't work due to they way they transfer files
[20:36] <aliciapg> nytek_: it has always worked before whenever i upgrade
[20:36] <histo> dooglus: okay there aren't any availible
[20:37] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: Which configuration file? There are many files in apt.conf.d folder.
[20:37] <jakiw> histo IPods dont have 3g Internet! They have no internet exept for WLAN!
[20:37] <nytek_> aliciapg: try googling your problem in reference with ubuntu
[20:37] <nytek_> aliciapg: ill see what i can find
[20:37] <histo> jakiw: not 3g internet 3rd generation from apple
[20:37] <dooglus> histo: they were available yesterday
[20:37] <dooglus> histo: when I installed it
[20:37] <histo> jakiw: does not work with anything but itunes
[20:37] <aliciapg> nytek_: yeah that's what i've been doing
[20:37] <guntbert> Turbolinux: I see - let me try
[20:37] <KB1JWQ> Dumb question: other than the obvious KDE vs Gnome, how do Kubuntu and Ubuntu differ?
[20:37] <histo> dooglus: you isntalled it from where? from the hardware drivers?
[20:37] <jakiw> histo Ye, but 8Gb is like the same, isn't it?
[20:38] <histo> jakiw: same as what?
[20:38] <dooglus> histo: I installed ubuntu yesterday.  from a live USB stick.
[20:38] <VCoolio> if someone experiences trouble with pastebinit replying only with paste.com homepage, here's a bugreport with a patch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pastebinit/+bug/526849
[20:38] <histo> dooglus: ok?
[20:38] <dooglus> histo: when I booted from the live stick, there was an icon on the desktop 'install ubuntu'.  I used that.
[20:38] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: not at all, one has kubuntu-desktop installed, the other has ubuntu-desktop
[20:38] <jakiw> histo 2nd gen, they only changed the 32 and 64GB version of the IPod Touch in the 3rd generation
[20:38] <histo> dooglus: yes that installed it to your hard drive
[20:38] <KB1JWQ> MilitantPotato: Ah, so once one is installed, switching from one to the other is trivial?
[20:38] <histo> jakiw: well mine is changed
[20:38] <dooglus> histo: while it was installing, a box popped up saying drivers were available.  it looked like this box, but had 2 things in, not zero
[20:38] <histo> jakiw: and doesn't work
[20:39] <jakiw> histo do u have 3rd gen?
[20:39] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: yea, logout, theres a session box at the bottom, click that.
[20:39] <principale> help can not noooot use the view of any type of videos
[20:39] <jakiw> histo and 8GB?
[20:39] <histo> jakiw: you need to look up on info  ont he late 2009 3g's that came out they where 8gb
[20:39] <histo> jakiw: yes
[20:39] <dooglus> histo: now, since installing and rebooting, that box doesn't pop up unless I run the 'hardware drivers' program, and when I do, it's empty
[20:39] <histo> dooglus: what box doesn't pop up?
[20:39] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: if you use KDE more often, set your Desktop manager too KDM with sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[20:39] <principale> don.t hava a disc it.s a notebook
[20:39] <histo> dooglus: ahh nvm i got you
[20:39] <dooglus> histo: the "there are hardware drivers available" thing
[20:39] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: then choose KDM
[20:40] <histo> dooglus: yeah your card should be workign then.
[20:40] <jakiw> histo, do u have a link? I am sure that I've read, that the 8GB IPod Touch hasn't changed in the 3rd generation
[20:40] <dooglus> (presumably because it thinks there aren't)
[20:40] <principale> what
[20:40] <histo> Dougdoug4: opena  terminal and sudo iwlist scan
[20:40] <dooglus> histo: it is at the moment.  but if I reboot it might not.  it seems to work about 30% of the time so far
[20:40] <histo> jakiw: if you start searching for 3g touch jailbreak or something you will find info on it.
[20:40] <histo> jakiw: but trust me it changed just like all the other 3gs
[20:40] <histo> jakiw: you can only use itunes with it.
[20:41] <dooglus> histo: iwlisty finds one of the two routers
[20:41] <jakiw> histo But it hasn't got faster processor etc!
[20:41] <principale> cant use terminal
[20:41] <histo> dooglus: so its flakey hrm... I would maybe search the forums for your type of card see if anyone else is having issues with it dropping or not connecting.
[20:41] <histo> jakiw: NO but the way they store files has
[20:41] <principale> thanks
[20:41] <aliciapg> nytek_: so this one site said to try dmesg | tail -n 20 and see what it gets
[20:41] <histo> jakiw: hence the 3G
[20:41] <dooglus> histo: I've tried using the windows driver, but can't get that to work at all
[20:42] <histo> jakiw: that was their change.
[20:42] <aliciapg> nytek_: and... http://pastebin.com/Q639UyT5 is that bad?
[20:42] <jakiw> histo ok... :) how do u do it?
[20:42] <guntbert> Turbolinux: in synaptic - please open settings/preferences/network
[20:42] <histo> dooglus: yeah but that would probably be less reliable than the linux driver. Maybe something else is going on.
[20:42] <histo> jakiw: You can't is what i've been telling you.
[20:42] <dooglus> histo: on other laptops I've found ndiswrapper to be really very reliable
[20:42] <histo> jakiw: It will only work with itunes
[20:42] <jakiw> histo So u have Windows installed for it?
[20:42] <dooglus> histo: but here I can't get it to work at all
[20:43] <histo> jakiw: untill someone hacks it or you do a tethered jailbreak
[20:43] <histo> jakiw: yeah virtualbox
[20:43] <Neon0Blue> Wireless network drivers tool is saying my INF is invalid.
[20:43] <Neon0Blue> Can someone help?
[20:43] <histo> dooglus: you just said you are connected now?
[20:43] <ChogyDan> Neon0Blue: is it a winxp driver?
[20:43] <jakiw> histo why not vmware server? I heard it is better
[20:43] <histo> !best | jakiw
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> histo: you got a problem man?
[20:44] <dooglus> histo: I am connected now.  using the 'rtl8187' kernel driver.  I think it's buggy though.  sometimes when I boot it doesn't work at all
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> how dare you highlight me at this hour
[20:44] <histo> Dougdoug4: no why?
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> I'll have your HEAD
[20:44] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: I opened it. Then what I nust do?
 Dougdoug4: opena  terminal and sudo iwlist scan
[20:44] <jakiw> histo I meant performance :D
[20:44] <dooglus> histo: I would like to be able to use the 'ndiswrapper' kernel driver.  I've had success with that before, but can't get it to work here
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> I'LL HAVE YOU TAKEN TO TEH GALLOWS!
[20:44] <guntbert> Dougdoug4: please behave
[20:44] <ChogyDan> Neon0Blue: please stay in chat, but ndiswrapper is for winxp drivers.  You should try to get the windowsxp driver
[20:44] <Dougdoug4> ok :\
[20:44] <histo> Dougdoug4: I was trying to help him wth are you talking about?
[20:45] <Neon0Blue> I can't extract them from the exe.
[20:45] <Dougdoug4> You highlighted me histo, at 2 a.m
[20:45] <histo> dooglus: did you follow the directions from the wiki for ndiswrapper?
[20:45] <dooglus> Dougdoug4: I think he probably meant me
[20:45] <histo> !wifi | dooglus
[20:45] <Neon0Blue> Can someone try to extract them for me because neither capextract or unshield will extract them on mine.
[20:45] <histo> dooglus: typed the wrong name
[20:45] <dooglus> histo: I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[20:45] <guntbert> Turbolinux: tell me: is there proxy selected or is it "direct connection" ?
[20:45] <histo> Dougdoug4: typed the wrong name
[20:45] <histo> dooglus: yes what part are you having problems with?
[20:46] <histo> jakiw: yeah I prefer virtualbox
[20:46] <Turbolinux> Direct connection.
[20:46] <ChogyDan> Neon0Blue: can you give the weblink?
[20:46] <Neon0Blue> brb
[20:46] <Neon0Blue> http://www.ralinktech.com/download.php?t=U0wyRnpjMlYwY3k4eU1EQTVMekV5THpBMEwyUnZkMjVzYjJGa01qTXdPRFkwTkRNMk1DNWxlR1U5UFQxSlUxOUJVRjlUVkVGZlVsUXlPRGN3WDBRdE1TNDBMamt1TUY5V1FTMHlMak11T1M0d1gxYzNMVE11TUM0NUxqQmZVbFV0TXk0eExqUXVNRjlCVlMwekxqQXVOUzR3WHpFeU1ERXdPVjh4TGpVdU5pNHdWMUJmUm5KbFpRPT1D
[20:46] <FloodBot2> Neon0Blue: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:46] <dooglus> histo: the part where it says "If the driver is installed correctly, you should see the following output: ".  I don't see the following output
[20:46] <Neon0Blue> http://paste.ubuntu.com/385909/
[20:46] <Neon0Blue> There's the weblink
[20:46] <histo> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[20:46] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: Direct connection.
[20:47] <ChogyDan> Neon0Blue: what model wifi?
[20:47] <dooglus> histo: I see "net8187b : driver installed" but don't see anything like "hardware present"
[20:47] <devendra> how to start "DB 2 Express C" in ubuntu karmic. I have installed through apt-get
[20:47] <histo> dooglus: thats fine
[20:47] <histo> dooglus: then procede the driver may not be reporting the hardware present
[20:47] <guntbert> Turbolinux: strange - but I remember that there were troubles with apt to "forget" a proxy setting
[20:47] <dooglus> histo: iwconfig doesn't show any network with wireless extensions
[20:48] <histo> dooglus: there is also troubleshooting on that guide. I haven't used ndiswrapper in ages perhaps someone else may know more.
[20:49] <histo> dooglus: did you load the module?
[20:49] <dooglus> histo: I did
[20:49] <histo> dooglus: did they have you blacklist the old driver?
[20:49] <dooglus> histo: they did, but that doesn't matter - I've rmmod'ed it
[20:49] <peter_curry> Hello.  Quick question.  I just reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10, and therefore had to reinstall Konversation.  I now have a different alias/username.  Will my password be remain - or how do I check that?
[20:49] <AndyGraybeal> does anyone have a dell 2335dn multifunction scanner/printer/fax?  i'm wondering how do i scan to the networked machine from ubuntu 8.10
[20:50] <jakiw> histo Why do u prefer it? Really interests me, because I will have to choose which to use..
[20:50] <histo> dooglus: yeaht hen modprobe the ndiswrapper and you should start taking off. If not you need to ask someone else.
[20:50] <histo> jakiw: its free for one.
[20:50] <hiexpo> peter_curry, should be the same
[20:51] <histo> jakiw: also the 3d acceleration etc..
[20:51] <dooglus> histo: I've loaded the ndiswrapper module
[20:51] <peter_curry> hiexpo - so even though I reinstalled Ubuntu, somehow my password was retained on the server - and I don't have to reset it?  I do I check what it is?

[20:51] <tabb> Hi
[20:51] <tabb> greeks
[20:51] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: It's really strange as you say. How I can rebuild repository? Maybe it can solve this problem.
[20:51] <oriolo> hi
[20:51] <tabb> pls
[20:51] <jakiw> histo VMWare Server is free too
[20:52] <tabb> listen to me
[20:52] <guntbert> Turbolinux: another try: go to system/preferences/network proxy - there you already have set "direct connection" - press "apply system wide"
[20:52] <tabb> its very important
[20:52] <oriolo> i am having a problem with data lost from an usb drive
[20:52] <oriolo> i can not see any partition on it
[20:52] <tabb> are you all from greece?
[20:53] <oriolo> i have tried tools like dd, gpart.. and no success
[20:53] <guntbert> !gr | tabb
[20:53] <oriolo> can anybody hel me please?
[20:53] <oriolo> thanks
[20:53] <tabb> guntbert: can we talk a bit?
[20:53] <histo> jakiw: wellt hen try them both and see which you like mroe.
[20:54] <peter_curry> hiexpo - you still there?
[20:54] <hiexpo> yes sorry phone
[20:54] <guntbert> tabb: no, this channel is for ubuntu support - but you can visit #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:54] <histo> jakiw: if you download virtualbox don't get the virtualbox-ose edition. That one doesn't have USB which you will need for the ipod thing.
[20:54] <histo> jakiw: just get the normal one fromtheir downloads page. They even have a deb availible for ubuntu.
[20:54] <hiexpo> peter_curry, yes sorry phone
[20:55] <aliciapg> nytek_: everywhere i seem to look says reinstall >-< i can't do that
[20:55] <peter_curry> hiexpo - so even though I reinstalled Ubuntu, somehow my password was retained on the server - and I don't have to reset it?  I do I check what it is?
[20:56] <jakiw> histo Whats the dif between the normal and the ose?
[20:56] <tabb> anybody can talk with me for 2 minutes
[20:56] <tabb> ??
[20:57] <ardchoille> tabb: Do you have a ubuntu support question?
[20:57] <hiexpo> peter_curry, if you did not save it for your records than i believe you have to start a new account but when you go to start a new account
[20:57] <tabb> But have to be greek
[20:57] <tabb> Not really, but more important
[20:57] <ardchoille> !ot | tabb
[20:57] <hiexpo> peter_curry, it may reconize your user
[20:58] <peter_curry> hiexpo: then how I am still able to chat in this room?  How does it recognize my user (computer name) - if that changed?
[20:58] <tabb> i wrote here because those people who use ubuntu can understand maybe the problem
[20:58] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[20:58] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[20:58] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[20:58] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[20:58] <FloodBot2> tuxnani: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:59] <histo> jakiw: ose is open source edition. So you don't have usb support on the vm
[20:59] <tuxnani> latest repos????

[20:59] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[20:59] <FloodBot2> tuxnani: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[20:59] <guntbert> tuxnani: stop that please
[20:59] <tabb> so im waiting
[20:59] <tuxnani> i have got qt 4.5 in my ubuntu repo!
[20:59] <Turbolinux> Guntbert: It didn't change anything. It still gives same messages.
[21:00] <tuxnani> i need a latest web repo of ubuntu
[21:00] <hiexpo> peter_curry, no i misunderstood than no you will always have your user id even if u reinstall cause you registered
[21:00] <histo> tabb: i'm sure there is a greek support channel
[21:00] <tuxnani> with qt (>=4.6)
[21:00] <histo> tabb: /j #ubuntu-gr
[21:00] <tabb> you will all misere according your economy changes
[21:00] <Elrox> tuxnani,  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade sources.list
[21:00] <histo> !ot | tabb
[21:00] <MilitantPotato> tuxnani: try enabling backports in your sources
[21:01] <jakiw> histo and the otehr one isnt open source?
[21:01] <tuxnani> Elrox: its the http o0r ftp url i want
[21:01] <peter_curry> hiexpo - I'm still confused.  What do you mean by "you will always have your user id ... 'cause you registered"?  What does this program reference to allow me access to this chat room?
[21:01] <guntbert> Turbolinux: sorry - I'm almost at the end of my ideas - one last desperate thing: did you reboot already (once that seemed to solve that issue)
[21:01] <histo> jakiw: yes not for the usb stuff
[21:01] <Elrox> tuxnani, do what MilitantPotato suggested first
[21:01] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[21:01] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[21:01] <tuxnani> latest repos????
[21:01] <FloodBot2> tuxnani: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:01] <CrashOverride> hmm
[21:01] <histo> jakiw:
[21:01] <MilitantPotato> tuxnani: system>adminstration>Software sources
[21:01] <brandonban6> is it possible to get the filesystem type from an image (i.e. similar to using fdisk -l to get mounted file system types)... I have an image file that will not mount unless I specify the filesystem type.
[21:01] <mawst> Does anyone know if an update was released recently that seriously improved performance? I was having a problem with performance which has been inexplicably solved.

[21:02] <Out_Cold> could someone nmap an IP for me?? (it's my own)
[21:02] <histo> Out_Cold: why dont' you nmap it
[21:02] <MilitantPotato> tuxnani: enable back-ports and unsupported, that will get you the latest packages
[21:02] <guntbert> !ot | Out_Cold
[21:02] <Out_Cold> histo, because I am inside the network and I don't get the results I need
[21:02] <histo> Out_Cold: if you scan the public ip it shouldnt' matter. but you need to join off topic
[21:03] <brjann> brandonban6: does the 'file' utility tell you what it is? i.e.,     file <filename>
[21:03] <CrashOverride> guntbert: That question still related to support. As he needs help getting the results it is SUPPORT
[21:03] <histo> tuxnani: or you can build it from source but stop spamming the channel with latest repos
[21:03] <Out_Cold> it is ubuntu related..
[21:03] <nullp0inter> hey would anyone know why its happening, or how to fix an issue with firefox which displays GIFs very badly? they look nothing like they are supposd, the details of the colors r all gone

[21:04] <edbian> Is there an N64 emulator in the repos?
[21:04] <histo> Out_Cold: How is that ubuntu related?
[21:04] <guntbert> CrashOverride: no - this is ubuntu support - but feel free to help out :-)
[21:04] <histo> edbian: apt-cache search N64
[21:04] <nullp0inter> CrashOverride: the newest version doesnt come up in the updates

[21:07] <histo> user_: what version of ubuntu?
[21:07] <jakiw> !best | jakiw

[21:08] <CrashOverride> !grub | justin22885
[21:09] <justin22885> im not dual booting
[21:09] <histo> user_: there is an openchrome driver
[21:09] <ChogyDan> justin22885: I think you can install it so just the task bar is at the bottom, but it is not very stable
[21:09] <user_> histo, where ?
[21:10] <histo> user_: I believe they even have a driver on the via website
[21:10] <CrashOverride> justin22885: Use VMWare then
[21:10] <CrashOverride> justin22885: VmWare will do just what you want to do. :)
[21:10] <justin22885> im on vmware workstation right now getting some XP dll files
[21:10] <user_> histo, all drivers there dont work
[21:10] <langtree> How do I get scroll arrows at the top and bottom of scrollbars ?

[21:11] <langtree> Ahh, never mind.
[21:12] <user_> histo, i tried to install some driver and i got "found unsuppored xorg" any idea why ?
[21:12] <peter_curry> Does anyone know why I am still able to get into #ubuntu - even after reinstalling Ubuntu and changing my username?  Is my password saved on the server somewhere, irregardless of my username changing?
[21:12] <hystreni> hello, i tried to make my wirelss internett connection faster and i started the terminal and entered "sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf" in there i tried to take away the first "nameserver xx.xxx.xx" but i dont seem to be abdle to Save it. does anybody know?
[21:12] <nuki> hola
[21:12] <nuki> hello
[21:12] <histo> user_: no idea on that one.
[21:13] <jenia> hello everyone
[21:13] <nuki> hi
[21:13] <jenia> does anyone here use nvidia gts 8800 video cards
[21:13] <peter_curry> thoughts?
[21:13] <jenia> successfully that is
[21:13] <Nosteia> 9200 GT
[21:13] <hamza>  when i click on "computer", all of my system devices except for "filesystem" has disappeared.  when i click on disk utility, they show up there :S it has been a problem since whenever i plug in a usb, it does not show up on my desktop or nautilus, and i have to go through disk utility to access it.  anyone have any ideas?? :(
[21:13] <JStoone> Is it possible to edit some GRUB conf file to change the listing of the boot options? For example, I want my Windows on top and Ubuntu beneath it. Right now my Ubuntu option is in top and Windows is Beneath.
[21:13] <nuki> hola
[21:13] <Capt_Blackwood> nVidia 9800GT Ultimate...sorry
[21:13] <jenia> well maybe you encountered this problem
[21:13] <Nosteia> What is the issue
[21:13] <histo> user_: looks liek openchrome is the default driver installed
[21:13] <nuki> hello
[21:14] <jenia> when i install the propriety drivers, on reboot my screen black
[21:14] <jenia> the x11 doesnt load
[21:14] <user_> histo, i saw  forums , and via  seems to have problem in untubu
[21:14] <peter_curry> Can anyone explain to me how user access to IRC works?
[21:14] <jenia> my screen is* black
[21:14] <histo> user_: what problems are you experiencing?
[21:14] <Nosteia> Why not install the Ubuntu Drivers instead?
[21:14] <ChogyDan> JStoone: I don't think it is easy, I think they assumed you would use the save default setting.  But, you can reorder the scripts
[21:14] <histo> user_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome#VIA%20proprietary%20graphics%20driver
[21:14] <jenia> ubuntu drivers? okay yea ill try
[21:15] <jenia> thank you
[21:15] <histo> user_: there's the link for the proprietary driver. You can also check in System > Admin > Hardware drivers
[21:15] <user_> histo, no visual effects, slow 3D
[21:15] <histo> user_: yeah you need the propreitary drivers then.
[21:15] <peter_curry> Anyone - this should be a quick answer.  Where do I check or change my login information (username and password) for this IRC chat?
[21:15] <PratikPatel> Is there a better way of describing my issue with 2 monitors, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/521624 ?
[21:15] <Nosteia> Click System then Admin. Hardware Drivers...see if it finds it.  That's what I did.  Worked great, even with Compiz
[21:15] <JStoone> ChogyDan: Thats right.. I didn't think of that option (: Can you tell me what .conf file I should be looking for?
[21:15] <histo> user_: check System > Administration > Hardware Drivers or Restricted Drivers it should be called they may be availible in there. If not follow the directions int he link above.
[21:16] <ChogyDan> !grub2 | JStoone
[21:16] <histo> !who | Nosteia

[21:18] <histo> ardchoille: and the kernel module needs to be loaded
[21:18] <ardchoille> histo: that's what logging out and backin does
[21:18] <MilitantPotato> morph3k: System>Preferences>mouse enable two finger scroll?
[21:18] <morph3k> magic mouse
[21:18] <peter_curry> OK - I'm not going to worry about it, I guess.  Another question.  I just reinstalled Ubuntu on my IBM Thinkpad T43.  It's telling me my battery is critically low, but then saying the percentage is over 90%?  My computer just beeped like it was low and then shut down on me.  So the battery indicator in Ubuntu is now showing the correct percentage.  How do I fix this?
[21:18] <histo> ardchoille: logging out and back in does nto restart X because GDM or KDM is running in his case
[21:18] <ardchoille> histo: I never had to reboot when installing nvidia drivers
[21:19] <user_> histo, i get nothing on hardware drivers/....
[21:19] <histo> ardchoille: he would ahve to sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart
[21:19] <morph3k> MilitantPotato: let me boot into ubuntu
[21:19] <morph3k> brb
[21:19] <histo> user_: then follow the directions from the link that I pasted
[21:19] <ikonia> ardchoille: you should have to load a kernel module and restart X at the minimum
[21:19] <histo> user_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenChrome#VIA%20proprietary%20graphics%20driver
[21:19] <ardchoille> All I've had to do is log out and back in, guess my systemis borked
[21:20] <histo> ikonia: I can't remember if the nvidia package loads the module on installation I dont' think it does.
[21:20] <ikonia> histo: it does load a kernel module
[21:20] <peter_curry> It tells me these things after I remove the plugin - telling I only have 4-5 minutes until hibernation, but yet the battery percentage is showing over 90%  Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
[21:20] <ikonia> histo: before you can use the xorg driver you need the module loaded, either manually or a reboot
[21:20] <histo> ardchoille: No its not loading if your doing that you probably using the old one still.
[21:20] <histo> ikonia: yeap
[21:20] <peter_curry> I currently have it plugged in - and now it shows 100% battery power ...
[21:21] <histo> peter_curry: bad battery/cord?
[21:21] <MutantTurkey> hello does anyone know how i can check my current framebuffer number?
[21:21] <brandonban6> having problems mounting dd image; anyone have suggestions on other ways to read a dd image?
[21:21] <MilitantPotato> peter_curry: I have to reboot after plugging in my battery
[21:21] <histo> peter_curry: my dell laptop does funky stuff like that because one of the pins broke onthe cord.
[21:21] <ikonia> brandonban6: dd's aren't images, they are block by block copies of a device
[21:22] <MilitantPotato> peter_curry: if I don't boot with the battery installed it always shows 0% (but fully charged)
[21:22] <morph> okay
[21:22] <morph> are u still there
[21:22] <morph> the guy i was just talking to
[21:22] <MilitantPotato> morph yea
[21:22] <morph> ok
[21:22] <morph> how do i force something to run
[21:22] <histo> brandonban6: try using -o loop in there for an option
[21:23] <user_> histo, 10x ill try that one
[21:23] <MilitantPotato> morph what are you trying to get running?
[21:23] <brandonban6> ikonia, thanks... i understand you should still be able to mount a copy using the loop/offset options... but I can't read the partition type, and thus it won't mount. Any thoughts on how to move forward?
[21:23] <histo> user_: np
[21:23] <cassiopeia> Hi all. Is wubi supported here?
[21:23] <morph> magic mouse
[21:23] <morph> script thing
[21:23] <ikonia> brandonban6: you can't read the partition type because it's not a device
[21:23] <MilitantPotato> morph add it to startup applications
[21:23] <brandonban6> thanks histo, i have tried that, it asks for a partition type.
[21:23] <ikonia> brandonban6: I don't believe you can do what you want to do
[21:23] <MilitantPotato> morph, make sure the script is executable
[21:23] <histo> brandonban6: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=711773
[21:23] <ikonia> brandonban6: if you had taken an image of a partition I think that may work, but not a whole device
[21:24] <hamza>  when i click on "computer", all of my system devices except for "filesystem" has disappeared.  when i click on disk utility, they show up there :S it has been a problem since whenever i plug in a usb, it does not show up on my desktop or nautilus, and i have to go through disk utility to access it.  anyone have any ideas?? its really really been bugging me :( :(
[21:24] <ikonia> as there is no real device
[21:24] <morph> ugh
[21:24] <nullp0inter> i am using swap everyonce in a while...is that bad?
[21:24] <morph> cant find the file
[21:24] <brandonban6> ikonia, per the ubuntu documentation I can: here is what I am doing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery#Data%20Recovery%20from%20damaged%20filesystem%20or%20drive
[21:24] <nullp0inter> i feel like its not a good thing
[21:24] <shazbotmcnasty> how do I tell what version of rtorrent I have?
[21:24] <linxeh> nullp0inter: it is fine, unless its things you want to use all the time that get swapped out
[21:24] <histo> brandonban6: that forum link I posted descusses it
[21:24] <MilitantPotato> nullp0inter: Max I've used is 5mb with 1 gig of ram
[21:25] <histo> brandonban6: you can get the info from fdisk -u -l diskimage
[21:25] <nullp0inter> linxeh: firefox eats up most of my memory
[21:25] <MilitantPotato> nullp0inter: if you set swappieness to 10, you'll use it less frequently
[21:25] <linxeh> nullp0inter: if you arent using an app, or its not doing anything, it might be better to swap it out to give other apps more ram, or even disk cache
[21:25] <ardchoille> Can we skip versions on upgrades now or is that only for LTS to LTS?
[21:25] <histo> brandonban6: make sure your offset number is right
[21:25] <linxeh> nullp0inter: firefox keeps page caches per window/tab
[21:25] <brandonban6> histo, thanks I'll give that a shot.
[21:25] <linxeh> nullp0inter: if you periodically close all windows/tabs/restart its usually a bit better
[21:25] <histo> brandonban6: you ahve to multiply by 512
[21:25] <GeekSquid> ardchoille: only LTS to LTS
[21:26] <ardchoille> ok
[21:26] <ikonia> brandonban6: what mount command are you using ?
[21:26] <nullp0inter> linxeh: yea i just hate restarting it...i only have 512MB of RAM so it kills me if i have more than 3 apps open
[21:26] <hunt> Hi, does anyone know how to install a divx-plugin for firefox or chrome in ubuntu?
[21:26] <histo> brandonban6: sudo mount -t loop,offset=(somenumber which is start*512) -t auto blah blah
[21:26] <linxeh> nullp0inter: ah; 512mb ram is pushing it a bit these days :o
[21:26] <MilitantPotato> !medibuntu | hunt
[21:27] <nullp0inter> linxeh: =/ yup..i got this puppy in 2000, when it was top of the line
[21:27] <morph> ugh MilitantPotato i cant find it
[21:27] <morph> it is magic mouse
[21:27] <histo> nullp0inter: you can use a different browser like dillo or something that lighter
[21:27] <pikeshouse88> hey guys, how can i login into GDM without the GUI? i dont want to use VNC for the action
[21:27] <morph> it came with the new kernal
[21:27] <MilitantPotato> morph you need a script for it?
[21:27] <morph> <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:27] <morph> i dunno what damn module it is
[21:27] <nullp0inter> histo: thanks for the tip..hows chrome on memory?
[21:28] <morph> how do i reinstall the uh
[21:28] <MilitantPotato> morph did you try enabling 2 finger scroll in mouse props?
[21:28] <morph> modules
[21:28] <morph> where is that
[21:28] <linxeh> nullp0inter: have you tried chrome or similar ?
[21:28] <histo> nullp0inter: can't remember but I thought it was a hog.
[21:28] <GeekSquid> !enter |morph
[21:28] <histo> nullp0inter: you could also use X forwarding or something to help you out.
[21:28] <brandonban6> histo, ikonia i at first tried mount -o loop filename mountpoint :: it then replied and said I must specify type:: it came from an old windows xp install so i assumed ntfs, i.e. mount -t ntfs-3g -o loop filename mountpoint
[21:28] <morph> MilitantPotato, where is 2 finger scrolling
[21:28] <MilitantPotato> morph System>Preferences>Mouse
[21:28] <histo> nullp0inter: forward X from antoher box.
[21:28] <morph> i dont see it...
[21:28] <linxeh> chrome tends to peak a bit higher than firefox on my system, but overall it is lower I think
[21:28] <hunt> MilitantPotato: I know medibuntu, sudo apt-cache search divx gives me many packages, I just dont know which one I need.
[21:29] <Zer7> Hurrah, it's working. I'd like to thank whoever made the Ubuntu Minimal Install, you've saved me
[21:29] <pikeshouse88> anyone?
[21:29] <morph> MilitantPotato, how do i make modules install in the kernel
[21:30] <morph> there is a command i used for it earlier
[21:30] <pikeshouse88> command line option to login GDM gui from terminal
[21:30] <MilitantPotato> morph I believe modprobe -i 'modulename'
[21:30] <MilitantPotato> hunt: sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[21:30] <morph> i want all modules
[21:30] <nullp0inter> histo: whats that
[21:30] <histo> brandonban6: did you see my mount line?
[21:30] <morph> what about all modules MilitantPotato
[21:30] <histo> nullp0inter: do you have another computer thats a little beefier running linux?
[21:30] <brandonban6> histo: here is the result of fdisk -u -l imagefile
[21:30] <MilitantPotato> morph all modules for all hardware? That'd be bad
[21:30] <GeekSquid> pikeshouse88: understand that GDM allows you to login to Gnome or other window manager .. if you are at a command prompt and logged in as your user and GDM is not running type startx and you will login to the gnome gui
[21:31] <morph> yep
[21:31] <morph> whats the command
[21:31] <nullp0inter> histo: i have one thats worse, not better
[21:31] <hunt> MilitantPotato: I already have w64codecs installed.
[21:31] <brandonban6> histo, yes, but I can not determine the appropiate offset
[21:31] <histo> brandonban6: just take the start of the partition you want to mount and multiply by 512 that is your offset number
[21:31] <MilitantPotato> hunt: have ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[21:31] <morph> MilitantPotato, i know u think its bad but i need to do it
[21:31] <histo> nullp0inter: ahh nvm the X forwarding then. You could have run the app on the beefier computer and forwarded it to the local one.
[21:31] <morph> so how do i make it install all modules
[21:31] <brandonban6> histo, i'll give it a shot, thanks
[21:32] <hunt> MilitantPotato: yes and non-free-codecs too
[21:32] <MilitantPotato> morph idk man, just find the module name
[21:32] <MilitantPotato> hunt: did you try using VLC or another media player?
[21:32] <MilitantPotato> hunt: some don't play well with certain codecs
[21:33] <MilitantPotato> hunt: another option would be compiling the divx from source.
[21:33] <MilitantPotato> hunt: it comes with an install script if I remember correctly, so it'd just need a sudo ./install.sh from the extracted directory
[21:34] <hunt> MilitantPotato: I just got it :)
[21:34] <Elrox> hunt, i just came in on this convo, so may be wrong, but have you tried this?  http://www.woodbeeco.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=9:playing-dvds&catid=4:geek-weekly&Itemid=3
[21:35] <brandonban6> histo, I tried your command, it returns error "must specify file system type"
[21:35] <hunt> MilitantPotato: Elrox: sudo apt-get install avifile-divx-plugin helped...
[21:35] <ikonia> brandonban6: what command are you using ?
[21:35] <histo> brandonban6: yeah what type of filesystem is it?
[21:35] <MilitantPotato> hunt: ah good deal
[21:35] <Elrox> hunt, cool ;-)
[21:36] <hunt> MilitantPotato: shouldnt that really be a dependency of one of the codec packages?
[21:36] <histo> brandonban6: and what command are you typing in?
[21:36] <brandonban6> ikonia "sudo mount -o loop,offset=(block#*512) filename mountpoint"
[21:36] <morph> MilitantPotato, i found what i need to run
[21:36] <MilitantPotato> hunt: you'd think.
[21:36] <histo> brandonban6: yes you need to specify a filesytem -t auto atleast.
[21:36] <morph> its hid-magicmouse.ko
[21:36] <hunt> MilitantPotato: anyways, thank you very much
[21:36] <Elrox> hunt, may not be opensource or gnu, which means you have to manually enable it,,,
[21:36] <histo> brandonban6: you're oputting in actual filenames and moutnpoints I assume right?
[21:36] <morph> /lib/modules/2.6.33/kernel/drivers/hid/hid-magicmouse.ko -- MilitantPotato
[21:36] <cassiopeia> Hi, is wubi supported here?
[21:37] <MilitantPotato> morph sudo modprobe -i hid-magicmouse.ko
[21:37] <crawler> hunt: ever tried linux mint?  less hassle for codecs and such :)
[21:37] <histo> brandonban6: put a -t auto before filename and mountpoint
[21:37] <GeekSquid> morph: modprobe hid-magicmouse   --- if it gives no output then the module was found
[21:37] <brandonban6> histo, I don't know the file type, it came from an old xp install and I'm trying to recover it... it was a storage array... if I try to mount the partition directly, it errors and gives a hint  RAID not set up correctly.
[21:37] <histo> brandonban6: unless you know the filesystem type then you can -t ntfs
[21:37] <MilitantPotato> cassiopeia: probably
[21:37] <histo> brandonban6: hrm...
[21:38] <SporadicCrash> hi, i need support about LIRC, can anyone help?
[21:38] <hunt> crawler: havent tried it yet but I'm gonne give it a try with the next release
[21:38] <histo> brandonban6: that I Have no idea on what to do with a raid setup. Never used it.
[21:38] <crawler> !metaquestion | SporadicCrash
[21:38] <MilitantPotato> morph GeekSquid is correct, don't use the -i, sorry.
[21:38] <brandonban6> histo yes i'm using actual file names, and both ntfs and ntfs-3g fail.... so I wonder if it isn't in some funky file system associated to the RAID he had set up before.
[21:38] <cassiopeia> Okay. Well I have a wubi installation of 9.10 which worked fine for a while. Now, after selecting "ubuntu" in the initial boot screen, I get dumped into a minimal bash-like GRUB shell, with no indication of what's wrong and how to fix it. What should I do?
[21:38] <GeekSquid> morph: do that with sudo
[21:39] <crawler> hunt: i recommend it over ubuntu for codec reasons, and it's prettier xD
[21:39] <histo> brandonban6: its possible fdisk should have showed the filesystem type
[21:39] <morph> GeekSquid, morph@morph-ubuntu:~/Desktop/linux-2.6$ modprobe hid-magicmouse

[21:39] <SporadicCrash> even though i have installed the package "lirc", "lsmod | grep lirc" doesn't return me anything
[21:39] <SporadicCrash> does anyone why?
[21:39] <morph> thats what it said when i typed it
[21:39] <morph> i forgot sud

[21:39] <slayton> anybody in here experienced with samba permissions? how do I setup samba to appropriately map userIDs from the server to the client?

[21:39] <histo> SporadicCrash: I think its lircd
[21:39] <histo> SporadicCrash: or something liek that.
[21:39] <brandonban6> histo, yes, it lists it as SFS, which I understand to be dynamic disk... but couldn't get it to mount as ntfs or ntfs-3g.
[21:39] <brandonban6> histo, let me try using auto
[21:39] <agdoku> I am trying to move an installation to another disk and therefore need to move grub2 and the boot partition as well. I am having trouble there.
[21:39] <hamza> no system devices (partitions, usb, cd/dvd drive) are showing in my nautilus, but they show in disk utility, any fix?
[21:40] <histo> brandonban6: hold up let me check something also
[21:40] <agdoku> where do I set what used to be "root" in grub2?
[21:40] <alzamabar> Hi, re Subversion: http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html ...I read that starting from version 1.6 SVN has some support for Keyring or KWallet. I don't like the idea of SVN storing the passwords in plain text. Does anyone of you know how could I setup Ubuntu 9.10 (yeah, I'm running the binaries, I haven't compiled it) so that it doesn't store SVN passwords in plain text? Unfortunately the version coming from APT is 1.4.4
[21:40] <morph> GeekSquid, how do i check if its running
[21:41] <agdoku> life was so easy when one could simply run grub by hand, set the "root" and then "setup" grub to some mbr

[21:50] <AkumaSaru> i've just installed it and my gdm is up and running but my display is only 800x600
[21:50] <hamza> geeksquid: it does not show all my partitions, it just shows cdrom and usb numbers
[21:50] <GeekSquid> AkumaSaru: you need to install vboxguestadditions in the guest
[21:50] <morph> GeekSquid, how can i get bluez daemon to start
[21:50] <SporadicCrash> hi guys, i have installed "lirc" into Ubuntu, but "lircd" cannot be started automatically. What can be the reason?
[21:50] <AkumaSaru> i got to /etc/x11/ but there is no xorg.conf
[21:51] <GeekSquid> morph: IDK
[21:51] <morph> i cant open bluetooth manager because its saying bluez daemon isnt running
[21:51] <AkumaSaru> GeekSquid, how do i go about doing that
[21:51] <fabio999> AkumaSaru: you can create it
[21:51] <iceroot> anyone else got a smart-error on asus eeepc with karmic? i guess its a bug in karmic and not a crash on the hdd (SSD)

[21:51] <MalfermitaKodo> To repeat a question from a few hours ago: I have the issue that my webcam is no longer working. The kernel module (uvcvideo) sees it but /dev/video0 does not exist. Do I have to use mknod to create it? Or fight udev into subteni it?
[21:52] <GeekSquid> AkumaSaru: instructions here http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/13/installing-guest-additions-for-ubuntu-guests-in-virtualbox/
[21:52] <AkumaSaru> thanks
[21:52] <Neon0Blue> Ok "Fuck D-Link". I just returned it for a Wireless G bellkin that was cheaper. And it worked RIGHT OUT THE BOX.
[21:52] <MilitantPotato> morph sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
[21:52] <hamza> malfermitaKodo: what kernel do u have?
[21:52] <morph> tried that
[21:52] <morph> to no avail
[21:52] <JStoone> I People! What is the default root password? how do I change it?
[21:52] <surf> Hi how can I compile the latest kernel without adding the udevd daemon?
[21:52] <MilitantPotato> sudo /etc/init.d/bluetoothd restart
[21:52] <MilitantPotato> add a D
[21:52] <hamza> malfermitaKodo: i had the same problem with 2.6.31, and it was fixed with 2.6.32
[21:52] <MilitantPotato> @ morph
[21:53] <histo> !kernel | surf
[21:53] <GeekSquid> JStoone: there is no root password, and there is no reason to change it ... this is what makes ubuntu secure
[21:53] <morph> if tried that MilitantPotato
[21:53] <Elrox> !root | JStoone
[21:53] <morph> ive tried everything i could find on google
[21:53] <MilitantPotato> morph try restarting?

[21:53] <linux1001> I have an issue trying to get my usb wireless adapter (linksys WUSB54GSCv2) to work with ndiswrapper. I have followed all the instructions I could find and I still cannot get it to work
[21:54] <surf> histo, I wanted to ask if it was possible. The udev --daemon is necessary?
[21:54] <morph> MilitantPotato, it does it everytime i restart
[21:54] <morph> it never freaking runs
[21:54] <wirechief> linux1001 what errors are you getting
[21:54] <GeekSquid> linux1001: have you blacklisted the linux native driver
[21:54] <morph> i dont know wtf the problem is
[21:54] <GeekSquid> morph: you need to add the new drivers to /etc/modprobe.d/
[21:54] <hamza> malfermitKodo: try installing a newer kernel, it's probably fixed
[21:55] <linux1001> GeekSquid, yes   wirechief I do sudo depmod -a then sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[21:55] <morph> what new drivers
[21:55] <linux1001> when i do that last command, it just says "Killed"
[21:55] <MalfermitaKodo> k
[21:55] <MilitantPotato> morph do you have a toshiba?
[21:55] <JStoone> GeekSquid, Elrox: Thanks guys ^^ It's 'cause I'm re-areangeing the grub.cfg script. And it's 'read only'. Can I just chmod it?
[21:55] <sensae> Why would my system wait indefinitely for a mount point that I can just drop to 'recovery console' and mount via fstab?
[21:55] <morph> no
[21:55] <wirechief> linux1001 what are you using 64bit or 32bit
[21:55] <GeekSquid> linux1001: ndiswrapper is not a kernel module
[21:55] <morph> im on an iMac
[21:56] <linux1001> 32bit
[21:56] <Elrox> JStoone, no, just do sudo -i and you'll be root
[21:56] <morph> GeekSquid, what new drivers?
[21:56] <linux1001> GeekSquid, i was just following the instructions found on the forums...
[21:56] <GeekSquid> morph: hid-magicmouse
[21:56] <linux1001> i've even tried using ndisgtk instead of command line
[21:56] <JStoone> Elrox: Thanks... and I realy have to read the man pages better..
[21:56] <JStoone> Elrox, haha
[21:57] <wirechief> linux1001 what do you get with ndiswrapper -l
[21:57] <Elrox> JStoone, put in YOUR user's password
[21:57] <GeekSquid> linux1001: that will not work until you blacklist the old driver, linux automatically loads it unless you do
[21:57] <GeekSquid> !blacklist | linux1001
[21:57] <onyx550> can i ask a question befor i install ubuntu?
[21:57] <linux1001> i keep trying to do ndiswrapper -l but it just hangs
[21:57] <JStoone> Elrox: Yeye I know (; but I just found the "-i" part in the  man pages (:
[21:58] <crawler> !ask | onyx550
[21:58] <Pyru> Hello, im curious if ubuntu supports 4gb ram, the 32bit version
[21:58] <nexsja> [viliny], hi, you there? :>
[21:58] <ikonia> Pyru: it does with the pae kernel
[21:58] <onyx550> how can i find out if it will install on my hp dv7 laptop and fully work?
[21:59] <ikonia> onyx550: check the hardware components to see if they are supported by linux in general
[21:59] <linux1001> echo -e "blacklist bcm43xx\nblacklist b43\nblacklist b431legacy\nblacklist ssb" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist is what i used
[21:59] <onyx550> where can i check the hardware?
[21:59] <AkumaSaru> GeekSquid, i've got it working thanks, it gave me a few more resolutions.  How come it doesn't make a xorg.conf and allow me to configure it from there?
[21:59] <JStoone> Elrox: I do "sudo -i gedit /boot/grub/grub.cfg" and it tells me  "You are trying to save the file on a read-only disk." when I'm about to save..
[21:59] <wirechief> linux1001 maybe if you retry using ndiswrapper -r name.inf and redo it.but you also need to blacklist any modules that are being loaded that are not being used.
[21:59] <GeekSquid> linux1001: xorg.conf is depricated in Karmic
[21:59] <crawler> onyx550: boot the live cd and test all your hardware.
[22:00] <Elrox> Pyru, check this...  http://www.woodbeeco.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4:enabling-pae-in-ubuntu-linux-910-karmic-koala&catid=6:gamers-corner&Itemid=7
[22:00] <onyx550> ok will do thanks
[22:00] <crawler> yw
[22:00] <linux1001> ok, let me see what i can do
[22:00] <Pyru> Elrox: thank you.
[22:00] <morph> GeekSquid, and how do i run that again
[22:00] <GeekSquid> linux1001: strange .. I didn't think the Wusb54gsv2 used broadcom drivers
[22:00] <Elrox> JStoone, no, do sudo -i      then try editing stuff
[22:00] <GeekSquid> morph: sudo modprobe hid-magicmouse
[22:01] <JStoone> ah! (:
[22:01] <nexsja> [viliny], hi, you there? :>
[22:01] <wirechief> linux1001 that ndiswrapper -r nameofwindowsdriver without the inf on the end
[22:01] <linux1001> GeekSquid, just something i found on the forums
[22:01] <morph> woahhh
[22:01] <zeek0124> i need some help please
[22:01] <morph> i got a BUNCH of errors
[22:01] <zeek0124> my audio is not working
[22:01] <linux1001> k
[22:01] <linux1001> wirechief, i'll do that now
[22:02] <Elrox> ikonia, did you see the link i sent to Pyru?
[22:02] <crawler> !audio | zeek0124
[22:02] <ikonia> Elrox: no
[22:02] <GeekSquid> linux1001: please pastebin the output of lsusb with the wusb54gsv2 connected
[22:02] <JStoone> Elrox, nope doesn't work. Even though it shows I'm root..
[22:02] <|sanchez|> anyone know how to get unrar to extract an archive even if crc fails? I can in windows extract this archive but in linux it says crc error and deletes all contents it dumped
[22:02] <wirechief> linux1001 then reinstall with ndiswrapper name.inf  but also do ndiswrapper -ma too
[22:02] <actionParsnip> yo yo yo
[22:02] <GeekSquid> JStoone: what are you using to edit?
[22:02] <VCoolio> JStoone: DON'T edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but edit /etc/default/grub and then do "sudo update-grub"
[22:02] <actionParsnip> wirechief, linux1001 try using ndisgtk instead
[22:02] <MalfermitaKodo> hamza: Nothing is updatable
[22:03] <linux1001> GeekSquid, i think i may need to reboot or something... lsusb hangs, and so does ndiswrapper -l
[22:03] <Elrox> JStoone, are you using vi/vim ?
[22:03] <nexsja> viliny hi, you still there? :>
[22:03] <wirechief> linux1001 what version ndiswrapper are you using ? dpkg -l|grep ndiswrapper
[22:03] <crawler> |sanchez|: try unrar -kb <file>
[22:03] <JStoone> VCoolio: Thanks! I didn't fully understand what the wiki.ubuntu told me (:
[22:03] <|sanchez|>  thanks crawler
[22:04] <MalfermitaKodo> hamza: the update which apt-get installed changed only below the patchlevel---
[22:04] <nullp0inter> ok so i just installed the latest update offered by apt-get for firefox, and i am runnign firefox 3.0.18... wtf?
[22:04] <sensae> Why would mountall be unable to mount an mdadm raid from my fstab?
[22:04] <JStoone> Elrox: No I use Gedit
[22:04] <fabio> ciao
[22:04] <Elrox> JStoone, exit your sudo -i,   then do gksudo gedit filename
[22:04] <ikonia> sensae: is the array started
[22:04] <linux1001> wirechief, will do as soon as it comes back up... rebooted
[22:04] <wirechief> k
[22:04] <MilitantPotato> nullp0inter: sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[22:04] <JStoone> Elrox: thanks (:
[22:04] <iceroot> nullp0inter: on jaunty?
[22:05] <wirechief> linux1001 i used 1.54 for my belkin N wireless adapter and it worked fine.
[22:05] <hamza> malfermitkodo: http://unixmen.com/linux-tutorials/780-upgrade-your-kernel-the-safe-way-in-ubuntu-linuxmint follow these instructions :)
[22:05] <sensae> ikonia: Yes. It hangs on boot with "Waiting for device" but when I try to manually mount it I can
[22:05] <Elrox> JStoone, exit your sudo -i,   then do gksudo gedit /path/to/filename
[22:05] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, its a seperate app
[22:05] <nullp0inter> MilitantPotato, it couldnt find it
[22:05] <nullp0inter> iceroot, Hardy
[22:05] <linux1001> wirechief, ndisgtk 0.8.4-1    ndiswrapper-common 1.54-2ubuntu1  ndiswrapper-utils-1.9    1.54-2ubuntu1
[22:05] <ikonia> sensae: if you don't auto mount it, when you boot is it started already when you log in
[22:05] <iceroot> nullp0inter: there is no ff3.5 on hardy in the normal repos
[22:05] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, uninstall 3.0 too, saves space
[22:05] <wirechief> linux1001: ok
[22:05] <iceroot> !backports | nullp0inter
[22:06] <JStoone> Elrox, I'll do as VCoolio told me. To edit the /etc/default/grub and then do "sudo update-grub"
[22:06] <|sanchez|> crawler it doesnt like that command
[22:06] <linux1001> wirechief, was the blacklisting i did correct?
[22:06] <|sanchez|> although k and b are needed im seeing now looking at man page
[22:06] <sensae> ikonia: Yes, but I'm trying to get it to automount seeing as it's my home partition.
[22:06] <Elrox> JStoone, yes, that would be best
[22:06] <ikonia> sensae: just trying to work out if it's running first
[22:06] <linux1001> wirechief, if so, can i go ahead and ndiswrapper -i <inf file>
[22:06] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa has all the way up to 3.7 for hardy
[22:06] <JStoone> Elrox: Thank you for the help and have a nice evening (:
[22:06] <crawler> |sanchez|: try unrar e -kb <file>
[22:06] <wirechief> linux1001 well you can do lsmod and see if any wireless modules are loaded other than yours
[22:07] <|sanchez|> grrr thanks crawler
[22:07] <|sanchez|> i thought it would be unrar e kb file
[22:07] <|sanchez|> didnt realize -<switch>
[22:07] <|sanchez|> thanks :) :)
[22:07] <linux1001> wirechief, it is showing ndiswrapper on that list
[22:07] <wirechief> ok
[22:07] <sensae> ikonia: Yeah, it runs on startup
[22:07] <actionParsnip> linux1001, if you use ndisgtk its all handled for you, all you have to do is point it to the files
[22:07] <crawler> |sanchez|: missed that one, sorry.  glad you got it
[22:07] <JStoone> Elrox: one last question, isn't there an easier way to exit 'sudo -i' than restarting the terminal?
[22:07] <ikonia> sensae: if you now add it to fstab and do a mount -a does it mount ?
[22:07] <SporadicCrash> is there anyone who knows LIRC? except "histo"?
[22:07] <wirechief> linux1001 ndisgtk works too.
[22:07] <iceroot> !anyone | SporadicCrash
[22:07] <nullp0inter> actionParsnip, ty
[22:07] <ikonia> JStoone: type "exit"
[22:07] <linux1001> actionParsnip, i did and it did not work
[22:07] <nullp0inter> iceroot, ty
[22:08] <KB1JWQ> MilitantPotato: Thanks for the advice on kubuntu/ubuntu earlier; I appreciate it.
[22:08] <actionParsnip> linux1001, gotcha
[22:08] <Elrox> JStoone, just type exit
[22:08] <MilitantPotato> KB1JWQ: np
[22:08] <linux1001> actionParsnip, do i do ndisgtk with usb adapter plugged in or not?
[22:08] <JStoone> ikonia: ooh, haha I was typeing "quit"
[22:08] <actionParsnip> linux1001, its a gui to ndiswrapper so i have reservations if it can be done manually
[22:08] <JStoone> Elrox: oh! (: I was continuesly typeing 'quit' ^
[22:09] <actionParsnip> linux1001, yes, have the hardware present and give ndisgtk the inf and sys file
[22:09] <sensae> ikonia: Well I'm not sure, as X has my home directory locked now. Doing a "mount /home" did mount it properly
[22:09] <wirechief> linux1001 you need to be in the same folder as the above .inf and .sys files
[22:10] <ikonia> sensae: oh, I see, it's your home dir
[22:10] <ikonia> sensae: booting into single user mode maybe a good test
[22:10] <MalfermitaKodo> Anyone know why the device /dev/video0 fails to exist though the kernel module is existant?
[22:10] <hamza> malfermitKodo: i'm sort of a noob, all i kno is that i updated my kernel through that site and it fixed my cam problem
[22:10] <kamcio2603> http://u.nu/8yiu6
[22:10] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: perhaps a silly questions, but does    ls /dev/video*    list any other video devices?
[22:10] <sensae> ikonia: Alright, I'll try that. I'm also having a second problem with the RAID where only one drive is added on startup, and I have to manually add the second, but that doesn't keep it from running /dev/md_d0 and working
[22:10] <JStoone> VCoolio: My problem is that I want to rearrenge my boot list? Like, but my window option in top etc.
[22:10] <ikonia> kamcio2603: ?
[22:11] <linux1001> actionParsnip, wirechief, i now get an error with ndisgtk "Module could not be loaded. Error was: WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist, it will be ignored in a future release. WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release."
[22:11] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: nope
[22:11] <ikonia> sensae: check your mdadm.conf file
[22:11] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: ls: ne povas atingi /dev/vi*: No such file or directory
[22:11] <wirechief> linux1001 well you can just mv it to a filename.conf
[22:11] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: is this a usb device?
[22:11] <sensae> ikonia: Rather blank and sparse. I read on a howto it should autodetect my raid.
[22:11] <nullp0inter> can i just install the .tar.bz2 i downloaded from firefox under hardy?
[22:11] <crawler> !alcarte | crawler
[22:12] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: officially, yes, though it is inbuilt
[22:12] <ikonia> sensae: not always, mdadm.conf is needed for ubuntu startup
[22:12] <linux1001> just make a .conf in modprobe.d dir?
[22:12] <evilmonkey998> does any one know what is causing a 7 second delay with pulseaudio before the output appears on the headphone port on my laptop?
[22:12] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: ah, okay. was hoping you could unplug and replug to capture just its syslog events
[22:12] <actionParsnip> linux1001, the file needs to have a .conf ending
[22:12] <|sanchez|> 7 sounds like youve timed this a few times ?
[22:12] <wirechief> give the blacklist files name.conf where the name is the name being used
[22:12] <sensae> ikonia: Booted into recovery console, 'mount -a' works.
[22:13] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: unfortunately not
[22:13] <ikonia> sensae: ok - my suggestion, while in single user mode, get your raid fully setup, then create the mdadm.conf - then boot multi-user with it in the fstab, see what happens
[22:13] <linux1001> i just did ls /etc/modprobe.d ... there is a blacklist.conf there, but only ndiswrapper without .conf
[22:13] <Curly_Q> Has anyone here used Webmin? Any comments especially on security?
[22:14] <actionParsnip> !webmin | Curly_Q
[22:14] <evilmonkey998> the media players always get to 7 secs before i hear anything
[22:14] <ikonia> Curly_Q: it's been dropped due to a.) massive security issues b.) maintainance of files
[22:14] <wirechief> linux1001 just mv /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf
[22:14] <sensae> ikonia: alright I'll try that
[22:14] <linux1001> k
[22:14] <morph> jeez
[22:15] <morph> GeekSquid, im in the kernel folder
[22:15] <nullp0inter> iceroot, i cant find firefox in backports for 8.04
[22:15] <morph> how do i reinstall all the modules
[22:15] <iceroot> nullp0inter: hm, strange
[22:15] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: i'm still with you, just doing a little research. bear with me
[22:15] <GeekSquid> morph: IDK .. you are going way deeper than I ever need to go
[22:16] <Sheepherd> hey all... i reinstalled windows earlier and now i cant access my ubuntu partition anymore cuz obviously the mbr is overwritten
[22:16] <actionParsnip> !grub | Sheepherd
[22:16] <iceroot> !info firefox-3.5 hardy-backports
[22:16] <Sheepherd> how can i make grub the boatloader again?
[22:16] <nullp0inter> can i somehow install the .tar.bz2 downloaded from firefox web page?
[22:16] <Sheepherd> ah ty
[22:16] <iceroot> nullp0inter: ok then you have to use a ppa
[22:16] <ikonia> nullp0inter: no
[22:17] <nullp0inter> iceroot, i was looking at the ppa, but i dont get how to download it
[22:17] <ikonia> nullp0inter: why do you want it ?
[22:17] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, just add the mozilla ppa and you can install any version of firefox you want
[22:17] <iceroot> nullp0inter: that is a binary from mozilla, no need to install
[22:17] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:17] <nullp0inter> ikonia, i dont really care, my main question was why does firefoix on my ubuntu box display GIFs terribly? everyone said to upgrade
[22:17] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, add the lines in the technical details on the page I gave
[22:17] <futurama140> Can someone tell me how to switch my primary monitors with an ATI card?
[22:17] <Curly_Q> Thanks for the information guys.
[22:18] <ikonia> nullp0inter: can you take a screenshot of the bad displaying gif ?
[22:18] <futurama140> Can someone tell me how to switch my primary monitors with an ATI card? One is an LCD and one is a CRT
[22:18] <nullp0inter> ikonia, can i PM you with a link to it?
[22:18] <ikonia> nullp0inter: sire
[22:18] <ikonia> sure
[22:19] <actionParsnip> nullp0inter, i just gave you the method, yuo just need to add the 2 lines to the sources.list file, you can then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
[22:19] <nullp0inter> actionParsnip, thanks
[22:19] <VCoolio> futurama140: check if you can edit something in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:20] <iceroot> nullp0inter: no need for the upgrade-line. its upgrading all packages
[22:20] <iceroot> nullp0inter: not good if you use other repos instead of the original-ones
[22:20] <sensae> ikonia: So, it still times out and won't mount it. The only way to get the system to boot is to hit escape for recovery console, type 'mount -a', then ^D to continue boot, and it works.
[22:20] <ikonia> sensae: can I see your mdadm.conf ?
[22:20] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: look in /sys/bus/usb/drivers/uvcvideo. are there any directories that look similar to 1-7:1.0/ ?
[22:20] <actionParsnip> iceroot, its the official mozilla ppa dude
[22:20] <sensae> ikonia: Sure, I'll pastebin once the system finishes coming up
[22:21] <iceroot> actionParsnip: but not official ubuntu
[22:21] <iceroot> actionParsnip: so maybe its installing thunderbird 3
[22:21] <actionParsnip> iceroot, true but its the next best thing
[22:21] <iceroot> actionParsnip: and maybe he dont want that
[22:22] <ikonia> sensae: cool

[22:22] <LetsGo67> Hello. I have one computer (Windows 7) on a wireless network (WEP), but the Linux PCs cannot logon. Can someone help, please?├Ā
[22:22] <GeekSquid> !details | LetsGo67
[22:22] <macman_> can i tether my samsung impression for internet in ubuntu ?
[22:22] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: okay, that's a start at least. that means the device isn't bound to the driver. (you did say uvcvideo was the driver that recognized the device at boot, right?)
[22:22] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, log on to what?
[22:23] <morph> does anyone know how to reinstall all the modules from a kernel pack?
[22:23] <GeekSquid> macman_: does the impression have a teathering app?
[22:23] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: before the minor update it did after a manual modprobe..
[22:24] <macman_> GeekSquid: i don't know .. just want to know if i can use it in ubuntu
[22:24] <sensae> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/K9bKu7vz
[22:24] <actionParsnip> !find modules
[22:24] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: now I fail to see it in the dmesg output
[22:24] <MalfermitaKodo> curioser and curioser
[22:25] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: okay. does it show up in lsusb?
[22:25] <actionParsnip> morph, sudo apt-get --reinstall install  linux-modules-`uname -r`
[22:25] <GeekSquid> macman_: have you already bought it?
[22:25] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, GeekSquid: logon to Internet.
[22:25] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, GeekSquid: I can't browse Internet
[22:25] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, can you access your routers config page?
[22:26] <macman_> GeekSquid: yes i have it in front of me .. im googeling to see if i can tether with ubuntu or linux
[22:26] <ikonia> sensae: ok, well, I can see why they are not getting detected
[22:26] <sensae> ikonia: ?
[22:26] <ikonia> sensae: you've not got a partition on your disks marked as "linux-auto-raid"
[22:26] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: not as named device but there is an unnamed one, I suspect to be it
[22:26] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip: from the 7 computer.  I can also browse Internet.
[22:26] <mohadib> howdy, what app should i get to generate a gpg key?
[22:27] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, forget the 7 system, it doesn't matter what it does or doesnt do
[22:27] <GeekSquid> macman_: it runs att's modified version of android ... they don't want anyone to teather on their network so they lock down that phone.
[22:27] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, can you access the routers config page from Ubuntu?
[22:27] <sensae> ikonia: I'll give that a shot.
[22:27] <LetsGo67> The others have 100% package loss for <IP_ADDRESS>
[22:27] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, no, I cannot.
[22:27] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: what ID does it show for the device you suspect?
[22:27] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: this is my output: http://pastebin.ca/1816104
[22:27] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: ok, thanks :) one sec
[22:28] <MalfermitaKodo> first one
[22:28] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, ok does the interface you connect with get an IP address via dhcp?
[22:29] <hix3r> hello! i have a machine with an ATi Radeon X1600 card, which I'd like to play warcraft3/dota, starcraft on later...(with wine) should I get 8.04 with proper catalyst or 9.10 with open-source x-org drivers? how good is open source in 3D nowdays?
[22:29] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: what kind of laptop is this? i'm not finding much info on that usb device id
[22:29] <surf> Hi is it possible to recompile the kernel without the udevd daemon?
[22:29] <alblopp> hola
[22:30] <ikonia> surf: why would you want to do that , udev is critical to the system
[22:30] <alblopp> alguien que puede ayudarme? privado
[22:30] <ikonia> !es | alblopp
[22:30] <surf> ikonia, ok because I have a problem with that. Each time I download smt I get 100% cpu
[22:30] <zeek0124> !audio
[22:30] <ikonia> surf: udev goest to %100 when you download something ?
[22:31] <surf> ikonia, yeah. Each time I use the internet connection to transfer files
[22:31] <brady> What is the Ubuntu-recommended VNC workalike?
[22:31] <ikonia> surf: what version of ubuntu ?
[22:31] <surf> ikonia, 9.10
[22:31] <actionParsnip> brady, can you expand on that?
[22:31] <actionParsnip> brady, nvc is on ubuntu too
[22:31] <actionParsnip> vnc*
[22:31] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, yes
[22:31] <actionParsnip> !player
[22:31] <ikonia> surf: have you seen if there is a bug logged on launchpad for that ?
[22:31] <GeekSquid> brady: vino is the server .. vinagre is the client
[22:32] <ikonia> surf: I've never heard of that
[22:32] <surf> ikonia, yeah I looked for that on launchpad but there are always different bugs from mine
[22:32] <ikonia> surf: is there nothing even similar ?
[22:32] <merrnt> I'm trying to install matlab 2007 and I"m getting an error that says the installer can't copy to /tmp, make sure it exists and is not full. Anyone had this before?
[22:32] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, ok if you run: route     do yuo get something like this: http://pastebin.com/3Pp1GZXb
[22:33] <surf> ikonia, no they usually say it's related to the optical drive...
[22:33] <surf> but I never use it!
[22:33] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: and would you mind pastebinning the output of lsusb -v for me?
[22:33] <tek> HI, does anyone have any experiance with z/VSE?
[22:33] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, nothing shows up
[22:33] <TLF> how can I recall accesibility icon in GNOME?
[22:33] <ikonia> surf: have you tried unplugging the optical drive ?
[22:33] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, its a standard command. "route" is the command. without "s
[22:34] <surf> ikonia, I'm on a laptop
[22:34] <ikonia> surf: ok - so the bug can still be valid then
[22:34] <brady> GeekSquid, Thanks, that is what I needed.
[22:34] <LetsGo67> mhm.  I get the Destination, Gateway... but nothing underneath
[22:34] <surf> ikonia, it can be
[22:34] <cyberbluntz> Does anyone know anything or have any experiance with the Dos for Mainframes z/VSE?
[22:35] <airtonix> !anyone > cyberbluntz
[22:35] <GeekSquid> cyberbluntz: unfortunately yes, ... shall we take that discussion elsewhere?
[22:35] <nexsja> hi, i've updated my kernel and now i've lost all my nvidia drivers and i can't seem to get them back up :<
[22:35] <ikonia> nexsja: how did you update your kernel
[22:36] <nexsja> ikonia the lame way. downloaded a package and installed it.
[22:36] <airtonix> ...
[22:36] <ikonia> nexsja: where did you download a package from (nothing "lame" about that)
[22:37] <actionParsnip> nexsja, sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia-glx-185 nvidia-glx-195 nvidia-glx-96; sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[22:37] <TLF> how can I recall accesibility icon in GNOME?
[22:37] <actionParsnip> nexsja, them reinstall the driver
[22:37] <actionParsnip> nexsja, sounds like you used the .run file from the nvidia site rather than the one from the repos
[22:37] <nexsja> ikonia don't remember now, to be honest. viliny suggest that i download headers, image and source and install them. From kernel.org
[22:38] <ikonia> nexsja: kernel.org doesn't have "packages"
[22:38] <nexsja> actionParsnip i did download .run file from nvidia site, yes
[22:38] <nexsja> ikonia .deb files
[22:38] <agdoku> I am seeing a "RAID-1 Drive" in nautilus, what is this
[22:38] <airtonix> TLF, have you looked in your system menu yet ?
[22:38] <ikonia> nexsja: kernel.ubuntu.com ppa you mean ?
[22:39] <vow89> Hi! What would be the easiest way to set the output of some program (such as a media player) to register as a camera device in Linux?
[22:39] <agdoku> All my raid devices were detected and mounted correctly
[22:39] <agdoku> so what is that one?
[22:39] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: http://pastebin.ca/1816120
[22:39] <nexsja> yes, that one
[22:39] <agdoku> it tells me, that it is degraded
[22:39] <TLF> airtonix: found it, thank you veyr much├¦
[22:39] <ikonia> nexsja: why did you do that - it's totally not supported
[22:39] <nexsja> kernel.ubuntu/com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33/
[22:39] <actionParsnip> nexsja, you can install the driver using the driver on the repo
[22:39] <agdoku> but I don't see something like that in /proc/mdstat
[22:39] <Futki> how to schedule
[22:39] <Futki> reboot
[22:39] <Futki> ?
[22:39] <ikonia> actionParsnip: he can't - he's not using a supported kernel
[22:39] <airtonix> !enter | Futki
[22:40] <agdoku> how can I find out, which RAID drive this nautilus link refers to?
[22:40] <nexsja> ikonia well a person on this channel told me to :>
[22:40] <actionParsnip> nexsja, you will also find the driver recomnpiles using dkms every time you upgrade kernel, if you use the .run file you will have to reinstall it EVERY time you change kernel
[22:40] <ikonia> nexsja: what was the problem that this was supposed to fix ?
[22:40] <actionParsnip> ikonia, how do you mean?
[22:40] <oskar-> Futki:  "shutdown -r 42" reboots in 42 minutes
[22:40] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: unfortunately, nothing in lsusb -v appears to be a video device. :(
[22:40] <oskar-> Futki:  you can also give a time, or you can use "at" or cron
[22:41] <ikonia> actionParsnip: his kernel isn't from ubuntu.com's stable tree so the nvidia package isn't built against it
[22:41] <nexsja> ikonia at first i just lost my video drivers, then i've been asked have i recently updated my kernel, and i did. So i was told to download headers, source and image.
[22:41] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: that unnamed device is actually a "MEDION Drive-n-go"
[22:41] <nexsja> actionParsnip i think i'll stay away from updating kernel :<
[22:41] <actionParsnip> ikonia, ah i see
[22:41] <nexsja> actionParsnip i'll try that command of yours
[22:41] <airtonix> nexsja, don't suppose you read the readme that came with the nvidia drivers before all these questions ?
[22:41] <actionParsnip> nexsja, i would if you are not going to use the standard kernels
[22:41] <nexsja> airtonix i actually didn't find a readme file...
[22:41] <Futki> thanx oskar
[22:41] <ikonia> nexsja: I'll re-phrase that, a.) what was the problem you had that you updated your kernel to fix b.) why where you told to use a PPA ?
[22:42] <Futki> i mean dayli
[22:42] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: Oops, sorry!
[22:42] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: not a problem. but the simple answer is, /dev/video0 isn't showing up because it's not being detected by the USB core.
[22:42] <MalfermitaKodo> that'd be my pr0n^H^H^H file storage
[22:42] <airtonix> nexsja, (its also printed in plain text while you install the drivers) that the nvidia driver run file will handle headers etc for whatever kernel you have
[22:43] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: heh. yeah, the only devices in lsusb -v are root hubs and mass storage devices.
[22:43] <nexsja> ikonia at first i didn't had any problems. Then i found out that there was a new version of kernel released so i though i'd upgrade, and after a couple of days (today) after rebooting i've lost all the drivers
[22:43] <surf> ikonia, so what shall I do? I can't use this system in these conditions...
[22:43] <Futki> how to schedule reboot dayly at given time?
[22:43] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: so... how do you recommend me finding it?
[22:43] <ikonia> nexsja: ok - so that's your problem, you've picked an unstable/unsupported kernel for no reason, now your supported packages are failing
[22:43] <iceroot> Futki: cron
[22:43] <oskar-> Futki:  then use cron, e.g. add a line "37 13 * * * root reboot" to /etc/crontab to boot each day at 13:37
[22:43] <ikonia> nexsja: I strongly suggest you go back to stable packages
[22:43] <d3vin> i have tried for over 8 hours to install win xp after ubuntu with a bootable usb unsuccessfully,i get hal.dll is missing? my nfts partition is in /dev/sda3 how do i mapp this location to boot.ini? help
[22:43] <nexsja> ikonia okay, how do i do that now?
[22:43] <ikonia> surf: could always kill udev and update the bug report
[22:44] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: I'm really not sure; it may be physically *broken*, as lsusb should list even devices that don't have associated kernel modules
[22:44] <ikonia> nexsja: select the stable kernel from your grub menu and remove the newer one
[22:44] <oskar-> Futki:  see "man 5 crontab"
[22:45] <nexsja> ikonia some pointer on how to do that, please?
[22:45] <surf> ikonia, when I kill the process it just restarts!
[22:45] <ikonia> nexsja: boot your system, select the stable kernel from the menu, then open the package manager remove the newer kernel, then remove the ppa lines from your /etc/apt/sources.list
[22:45] <ikonia> nexsja: in future let ubuntu update manager suggest updates, the developers know better what is best to use
[22:45] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: tell you what -- try booting from the livecd of whatever release you're using, and check the output of lsusb there. see if there are any devices showing up for the livecd that aren't showing up now.
[22:45] <nexsja> ikonia i don't get any choices when i boot
[22:46] <ikonia> nexsja: great, so the old kernel was removed
[22:46] <nexsja> ikonia i sence sarcasm :))
[22:46] <ikonia> nexsja: remove the ppa lines from your sources.list and then install the current stable kernel from that repo
[22:46] <lovre> hi all
[22:46] <nexsja> ikonia k, will try that
[22:46] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: no liveCD here
[22:46] <lovre> i have a multipart zip archive, how do i unzip it?
[22:47] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: no means to download and burn one?
[22:47] <EmilyE> Hiya.  I've been tinkering for the past hour and a half trying to get my Microsoft Lifecam vx-700 working in tinychat, but no joy.
[22:47]  * GinoMan has to rebuild his kernel using ubuntu's kpkg tool
[22:47] <mcurran> that's because MS sucks
[22:47] <Futki> is there any oppourtunity to schedule reboot in webmin
[22:47] <EmilyE> I've at least gotten to where it shows the video and turns on the cam in preview mode, and permissions are set properly in flash...
[22:47] <nexsja> ikonia i don't have any ppa lines in sources.list
[22:47] <EmilyE> But as soon as the cam is selected to start broadcasting to the room, it turns off.  o.O
[22:47] <actionParsnip> lovre, unzip firstfile.zip
[22:47] <ikonia> !info kernel-image
[22:48] <ikonia> !info linux-image
[22:48] <EmilyE> Any ideas?
[22:48] <brjann> EmilyE: does it work for a few seconds and then stop?
[22:48] <ikonia> nexsja: can you show me the output of apt-cache policy linux-image in a pastebin please
[22:48] <Sensiva> Futki scheduled tasks?
[22:48] <mari> hola
[22:48] <brjann> !es | mari
[22:48] <EmilyE> brjann: Yes.  Sort of.  Like I said, when tinychat is prompting to select a cam, the cam turns on and shows the video in a little preview pane, then after it's selected, nothing.
[22:48] <mari> hello
[22:49] <actionParsnip> lovre, provided the other files are in the same dir it will work
[22:49] <hix3r> for DoTA, starcraft, would the open-source driver be enough or I need 8.04 for Catalyst drivers? I have X1600Pro
[22:49] <mari> hello
[22:49] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: no CD for it :/
[22:49] <oskar-> !ask | mari

[22:49] <MalfermitaKodo> I can try going back to the pre-updated kernel where it was seen

[22:49] <ddilinger> Greetings.  Im trying to setup my laptop so i can access my home pc over the net without typing its full domain name(foobar.somehost.com, from a dyndns type thing).  I would prefer to just be able to type 'ssh me@home' instead of 'ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>every time, but not sure how to accomplish it.  I tried 'foobar.somehost.com home' in /etc/hosts but of course that doesn't like domain names, it wants ips :)
[22:49] <EmilyE> Lemme load up my tinychat site and give you the link so you can maybe reproduce the problem...
[22:49] <ikonia> nexsja: sudo apt-get install linux-image
[22:50] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: good idea. and if you can, pastebin the output of lsusb -v if another device shows up?
[22:50] <EmilyE> http://tinychat.com/tripeeemily
[22:50] <lovre> actionParsnip: sorry for multiline paste, here is pastie: http://www.pastie.org/847309

[22:50] <nexsja> hm, weird. Last time i've tried that it didn't work.

[22:50] <lovre> actionParsnip: i only get those two files, but there are like 40 zip parts....
[22:50] <nexsja> ikonia now what do i do?
[22:51] <ikonia> nexsja: show me "uname -a" ?
[22:51] <oskar-> ddilinger:  add a line "search somehose.com" to the /etc/resolv.conf

[22:52] <MK13> is it possible to setup the ubuntu server on my lan to act as a captive portal, or does the router itself have to have that feature?

[22:53] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, easy stuff huh, karmic can use the ppa address thing

[22:54] <FLOYD|Party> i'm trying to use teamspeak.  I used sh teamspeakXXXXXXXXXX.run, I accepted the license ageement, the terminal said uncompressing files, under download it see new files, but I don't know how to run ts.
[22:54] <LetsGo67> actionParsnip, what's ppa?
[22:54] <lovre> LetsGo67: put it in rc.local?
[22:54] <ikonia> nexsja: reboot and lets see what kernel boots
[22:54] <actionParsnip> LetsGo67, same ppa also has thunderbird if you want to suckle more from the mozilla teet
[22:54] <actionParsnip> !ppa | LetsGo67
[22:55] <LetsGo67> lovre: where is this file?
[22:55] <oskar-> MK13: to enforce it, a controlling device between the network and the controlled resource has to do it: the router, or maybe the server. the server could be configured as a bridge or as a router
[22:55] <brjann> EmilyE: if it's showing up during the preview, it's probably not a driver or permissions issue
[22:55] <lovre> LetsGo67: /etc/rc.local
[22:55] <LetsGo67> !rc.local
[22:55] <LetsGo67> thanks lovre
[22:55] <lovre> LetsGo67: np
[22:56] <nexsja> ikonia okay, booted up
[22:56] <MK13> oskar-, ok, thanks
[22:56] <EmilyE> brjann:  That's what I'm thinking too.  But it just disappears right after you choose it.  And then if you go to select source again, it doesn't come on again.
[22:56] <FLOYD|Party> how do you go back a folder in the terminal? cd.. doesn't seem to work
[22:56] <LjL> FLOYD|Party: try "cd .."
[22:56] <Entelin> i have a second drive running ext2, however most times when I boot I cannot see any files in the mount point for maybe 10 mins or so, and then it works fine.  Manually trying to mount it gives "mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /mnt/data busy"   any idea what its doing?
[22:56] <ikonia> nexsja: uname -a ?
[22:56] <FLOYD|Party> thanks
[22:57] <brjann> EmilyE: well I just tried to create a room and enable a camera, and couldn't even get that far. but I know for a fact that my camera is set up correctly :)

[23:00] <MalfermitaKodo> brjann: didn't help
[23:00] <Jeangleur> anyone keen?
[23:00] <anandre> Back with more Wine problems.  Did a fresh install of Ubuntu, dual-boot (next to Win 7), updated and everything, installed Wine, opened terminal and tried to run WoW via Wine.  However, I got a mess of error codes that I can c/p if needed (happened before), but now I also have an application titled World of Warcraft in my taskbar that I can't close (it's just a black screen with a part of the taskbar on it though).
[23:01] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: didn't show up for the old kernel either?
[23:01] <MalfermitaKodo> yup
[23:01] <shannonbrimer> or whats ever it is i need to fix to make my graphics work again
[23:01] <MalfermitaKodo> :{
[23:01] <garhol> anadre - try killall wineserver
[23:01] <brjann> MalfermitaKodo: bummer. i'm out of ideas, then; i've never had to try to get a device to show up in lsusb :(
[23:02] <EmilyE> Well, thanks anyways.  I know it *can* tinychat from googling around and reading forum posts.  Their fixes just aren't working for me.
[23:02] <EmilyE> Guess I'll keep tinkering on my own then.
[23:02] <agdoku> do I risk to destroy some data, if I change the partition type of some of my raid member devices from "Linux" to FD? The raid is already setup and populated with data.
[23:02] <FLOYD|Party> if you want to run a app such as teamspeak, can you just double click the executable?  It doesn't seem to do anything...
[23:02] <zroysch> brjann: ok. do you know how to make fsck automatically press enter? i've bene holding the button down forever.
[23:02] <shannonbrimer> when i open my terminal all i get is white cant see what im doing and at the top right where the - square and x is on every tab like firefox and so on anit showing can some one help me
[23:02] <knasto> Does anyone know how to bring back the little envelope thing on the top right corner that shows when you are logged on to pidgin , etc?
[23:03] <brjann> zroysch: you mean to automatically fix errors?
[23:03] <garhol> anandre - you can probably also kill it with using top, then hitting k to kill and entering the process is of the wow window
[23:03] <zroysch> brjann: yes the default is yes, i have to press enter each time.
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> agdoku:  any time you have to think 'am i at risk' the answer is always best to assume YES. and be sure to have backups.. have backups anyway
[23:03] <nexsja> ikonia Linux leonard 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 01:26:53 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux, that's better, right?
[23:03] <ikonia> nexsja: much much better, well done
[23:03] <erUSUL> knasto: add back the indicator applet
[23:03] <Jeangleur> I need help with gspca. who knows?!
[23:03] <anandre> gardar, you lost me there.  I'm not all that good with Linux and am only running it because Windows Vista/7 refuses to boot for me.
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> knasto:  right clik on panel, add to panel. its one of the applets in there.
[23:03] <nexsja> ikonia so now i can install the new nvidia drivers?
[23:03] <brjann> zroysch: right. you can do   fsck -p   which performs an automatic repair with no questions, according to fsck --help
[23:03] <Dr_Willis> knasto:  it might be 'indicator applet'
[23:03] <ikonia> nexsja: why do you want new nvidia drivers ?
[23:04] <Jeangleur> work on it since 8 hours
[23:04] <agdoku> Dr_Willis: well, sure
[23:04] <Jeangleur> can't find help anywhere!
[23:04] <zroysch> brjann: thats what i thought but didnt see it in the man page. thanks
[23:04] <Dr_Willis> agdoku:  i had a hard drive die on me the other day right in the middle of the day. :(
[23:04] <agdoku> Dr_Willis: but changing the partition type does not really do anything but setting one byte of data
[23:04] <garhol> anandre: open a terminal, then type top and hit return. once it brings up a list look for wow. there will be an entry in the column PID. press k to kill, enter that PID number then Y for yes
[23:04] <brjann> zroysch: no problem
[23:04] <aedwards06> i need help with wireless drivers
[23:04] <knasto> Dr_Willis and erUSUL: thanks it was indicator applet.
[23:04] <nexsja> ikonia umm... Right. The same reason i've updated kernel -> now the best reason -> don't install new drivers.
[23:04] <nexsja> now=not*
[23:04] <zroysch> hmmm its taking a while to ctrl-c out of it
[23:05] <ikonia> nexsja: ok - so are we learning, blindly updating things for no reason causes pain ?
[23:05] <Dr_Willis> agdoku:  One way to find out I guess. :)  But i do hope you have backups.
[23:05] <aedwards06> i need help with wireless drivers
[23:05] <shannonbrimer> does anyone know what im talking bout
[23:05] <brjann> zroysch: yeah. i would wait ;)
[23:05] <nexsja> ikonia plenty of pain :<
[23:05] <agdoku> Dr_Willis: I don't
[23:05] <ikonia> nexsja: think about it, ubuntu/canonical has many many very clever people packaging up the best and "stable" software for people like yourself who are new to linux and not fully aware of it,
[23:05] <brjann> zroysch: fsck handles the interrupt command, but it's got to finish up what it's doing so it doesn't destroy your filesystem. :)
[23:05] <Dr_Willis> shannonbrimer:  try a differnt terminal program perhaps.  or check your settings for the gnome-terminal app.
[23:05] <nexsja> ikonia this is _not_ windows. No usesless updates.
[23:05] <ikonia> nexsja: seems sensible to trust them ?
[23:06] <shannonbrimer> idk how to
[23:06] <aedwards06> can anyone help with wireless drivers
[23:06] <zroysch> brjann: i fear its already destroyed. praying i at least get some of my music back. stupid md raid
[23:06] <gent> Good night
[23:06] <tiki> where's ubuntu help?
[23:06] <anandre> garhol, thank you for that.  Does anyone have experience running WoW under Wine?
[23:06] <ikonia> nexsja: if there is something worth updating for, bug/stability etc etc, update manager will tell you "there is an update available" because the developers have packaged it up for you
[23:06] <nexsja> ikonia well... There's one reason i've installed some 'untrusted' drivers -> it fixed 9.10 wireless problems :<
[23:06] <Dr_Willis> shannonbrimer:  sounds like somthing is goofed up badly however.   You could try alt-f2 and run a 'xterm'  if its installed
[23:06] <brjann> !ask | tiki
[23:06] <zleap> tiki, click ? on the bar at the top
[23:06] <garhol> anandre: not wow, gfx card is too old but I run some steam apps
[23:06] <aedwards06> can anyone help with wireless drivers
[23:06] <ikonia> nexsja: and it may have introduced problems
[23:07] <brjann> zroysch: ouch, good luck
[23:07] <aedwards06> can anyone help with wireless drivers
[23:07] <Dr_Willis> !wireless | aedwards06
[23:07] <nexsja> ikonia it may, though untill that 9.10 was really a pain and i've even though about installing win7 :<
[23:07] <ikonia> aedwards06: leave it a few minutes between asking, try not to ask every 30 seconds please
[23:07] <aedwards06> thanks
[23:07] <ikonia> nexsja: not all hardware is compatible with linux, that's just a fact of life
[23:08] <tiki> How do I set up Skype to output through my USB headset instead of the default output (speakers?)
[23:08] <garhol> anandre: wow was gold under ubuntu 9.04. no reports for 9.10 yet -> http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=14154
[23:08] <anandre> garhol, so perhaps try to use 9.04 over 9.10 then?
[23:09] <nexsja> ikonia i think that was a developer error though, because 9.04 was cool with wireless, and when i did a little of googling i found out that 9.10 has serious wireless issues. Found a small fix and now everything's okay. By the way, ran nvidia-xconfig, rebooted gdm and now everything is back to normal.
[23:09] <nexsja> ikonia thanks, you really saved me here :)
[23:09] <garhol> anandre: it should really only be the wine version that affects it. 9.10 should be allright with wine 1.1.23
[23:09] <ikonia> nexsja: not a problem
[23:09] <hal9k2010> anybody with ubuntu  for PPC experience ?
[23:10] <anandre> garhol, which is what I'm using.  I tried to run it from the launcher and it might work - I got the log-in screen at least.  Will report more once I get somewhere.
[23:10] <tiki> How do I set up Skype to output through my USB headset instead of the default output (speakers)?
[23:10] <brjann> !anyone > hal9k2010
[23:10] <Dr_Willis> !ppc | hal9k2010
[23:10] <garhol> anandre: k. I'll go grab the trial and see if I can give you any info
[23:11] <anandre> garhol, appreciate it.  Didn't get it to run quite yet, but I'm going to try and use the troubleshoot page.
[23:11] <agdoku> does changing a partition type actually change anything in the partition itself?
[23:12] <oskar-> agdoku:  it should not in case of dos partition tables. the type is only a hint for the os, what it should expect inside
[23:12] <tiki> How do I set up Skype to output through my USB headset instead of the default output (speakers)?
[23:12] <JediMaster> got a weird network issue, I've got ADSL running at 12-13Mbps, can easily download at 1200 to 1300 kbytes/sec, works fine until I put a gigabit switch between the adsl router and the linux box and suddenly I get between 30 and 300 kbytes/sec max, I've tested this with two different brands of router AND gigabit switch, any ideas what's going on?
[23:13] <agdoku> oskar-: OK, I just want to change the type of some raid members to "raid autodetect". I would --stop the raid before I do so.
[23:13] <agdoku> oskar-: So I don't have to be worried about my data, do I?
[23:13] <GeekSquid> tiki: System>Prefs> sound .
[23:14] <futurama140> Can someone help me figure what video drivers i have?
[23:14] <agdoku> oskar-: reason being, nautilus seems to be confused by these partitions showing up as 83 "linux" partitions. It comes up with a mount option "raid-1 device"
[23:14] <oskar-> agdoku:  if you only change the type, you can change it back... but better have a backup, as always...
[23:14] <GeekSquid> JediMaster: is the switch a managed switch? it may have limitations on throughput per host
[23:14] <JediMaster> geek, no, both are unmanaged gigabit switches
[23:14] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, even
[23:14] <DocWiggles> i just finished installing ubuntu onto my xp machine, dual booting. right after the installation i restarted the system and GRUB loaded and i booted XP
[23:15] <DocWiggles> help
[23:15] <DocWiggles> then i restarted the system again and now its stuck at GRUB Loading
[23:15] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, both are pretty cheap makes but completely different (one is 8 port, other is 24 port)
[23:15] <DocWiggles> anyone here know how to fix this? im new to ubuntu
[23:15] <JediMaster> ADSL routers are both completely different makes and on different providers on different phone lines but both are 12-13Mbps
[23:16] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    does Grub show the installed system menu?
[23:16] <DocWiggles> right after restarting from installing ubuntu yes but the second restart it just GRUB loading
[23:16] <DocWiggles> and nothing else
[23:16] <DocWiggles> at first i was able to select which os to boot
[23:17] <GeekSquid> JediMaster: could also be a cable thing, sounds strange to me, although as ADSL doesn't provide more than 100mbps, perhaps trying a 100mbps switch might help too
[23:17] <DocWiggles> the second restart's just stuck there
[23:17] <LetsGo67> Thanks!  Ciao!
[23:17] <Logomachist> Help? I somehow knocked out my Internet while trying to set up a file server (while following the instructions at http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu-home-fileserver-p3 - only I'm working with Ubuntu desktop and the instructions assume you're using Ubuntu server- don't know if that matters). Anyway, now the little networking icon has a red X on it and instead of listing availiable networks under "wired network" it says "device not ma
[23:17] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    how about a 3rd reboot?
[23:17] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, 100Mbps switch works fine
[23:18] <DocWiggles> still stuck
[23:18] <brjann> DocWiggles: equally importantly, did you do anything between the first reboot, when it worked, and the second, when it didn't?
[23:18] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, I've tried conencting the adsl router to a 100mbps switch to the gigabit switch to the linux box (which is gigabit) and same result
[23:18] <oskar-> Logomachist:  have you made entries for that device in /etc/network/interfaces?
[23:19] <DocWiggles> nope nothing, after installing ubuntu i restarted the system then GRUB loaded and i booted to xp to check if everything's still there and i restarted again and now its just stuck
[23:19] <DocWiggles> there
[23:19] <DocWiggles> GRUB Loadin.
[23:19] <GeekSquid> JediMaster: but on the 100mbps switch it works... I think you have a really crappy gbit switch or 2 of them ... or again a cable thing .. are you using Cat6?
[23:19] <NimbleRabit> does anybody know of an ftp client I can use with ubuntu that does multiple threads for single files?
[23:19] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    ... I'd think something might have happened before you shutdown the 1st time.. you can try doing a 'fsck' on the *nix partition, from the live-cd
[23:20] <DocWiggles> ok ima try that rightnow
[23:20] <Typos_King> NimbleRabit:   isn't gFtp multi-threaded?
[23:20] <d3vin> has anyone ever succeeded in installing xp as a second os after ubuntu? cause im in hal.dll hell! help
[23:20] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, yeah it works from the router(s) to the 100mbps switch to the linux box, but as soon as you add the gigabit switch(es) in it crawls, no, they're running on cat5e
[23:20] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    where is ubuntu installed?  /dev/sda3?
[23:20] <Trinity33> hi need help want to make link from one text file to other the matter is that: first file is called for eexample csv so cos im using application which produce txt file called csv i need link that one to another one which will be named txt and want make this in way that from the csv everything what will be inside will be automatically transfered or copied to my new link file called txt anyone know how to make it? i

[23:20] <Trinity33>  how to make it?
[23:20] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, however I get 300Mbps easily between two machines on the gigabit switch, both on cat5e
[23:20] <DocWiggles> i have 2 hardrives

[23:21] <bitsmart> hi folks, I am trying to set up automounting an NTFS volume at boot and my custom kernel (2.6.31-9-rt) config file shows "CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y" but modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found.  Any ideas?
[23:21] <MBaer> I need some help repairing Grub from an ERROR 17... Please help
[23:22] <oskar-> d3vin:  yes, but afaik it needs a primary partition not too far from the beginning of the disk and so on... and it will overwrite the mbr (grub)
[23:22] <GeekSquid> JediMaster: that is just strange
[23:22] <nexsja> ikonia one more small thing, how do i delete a cronjob? I've installed ntop recently, and then removed it, and now i'm getting emails with "error: error accessing /var/log/ntop: No such file or directory" etc.
[23:22] <DocWiggles> Typos_King: i have 2 hardrives 1 is xp and 1 i partioned instide the live cd so that i can install ubuntu
[23:22] <JediMaster> GeekSquid, I know, tell em about it =/
[23:23] <m4j> need help in installing unetbootin

[23:23] <MBaer> I need some help repairing Grub from an ERROR 17... Please help
[23:23] <tiki> GeekSquid: That's very vague...
[23:23] <m4j> need help in installing unetbootin
[23:23] <m4j> need help in installing unetbootin
[23:23] <NimbleRabit> Typos_King, I don't think so, not for a single file transfer
[23:23] <tiki> m4j: synaptic>unetbootin
[23:23] <garhol> anandre: wine-1.1.39 running the trial seems to be working, a few glitches here and there but killing and restarting the app seemed to fix them

[23:24] <DocWiggles> Typos_King ubuntu is installed in /dev/sdb2
[23:24] <anandre> garhol, if only I had your problems.  :(  I can run the launcher fine, but when I try to run WoW from that, I just a black screen (albeit with the WoW pointer).  Can't do anything until I hit escape, which brings me back to my normal screen.
[23:24] <m4j> were does it install it at
[23:25] <Typos_King> NimbleRabit:   ... I don't use it.. though it is advertised as such :|
[23:25] <anandre> I just wish Windows would boot up for me, and then none of this would be necessary.
[23:25] <oskar-> m4j:  dpkg-query -L packagename
[23:25] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    then from the live-cd boot, do a -> sudo fsck /dev/sdb2
[23:25] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    then reboot
[23:25] <xci> hey guys, what is the de facto way of configuring the wlan on the command line? Before I had been using wpa_supplicant, but it seems that it is quite common now that some daemon keeps wpa_supplicant running all the time. Using iwconfig <interface> essid <ssid> key s:<password> worked once, but it seems that it is not the way that is supposed to work reliably either. What do you guys use nowadays? Some of these issues may be also because of me using broa
[23:25] <bcj> I've had really bad luck with wireless cards in Linux; can someone recommend a decent wireless card/chipset that has WPA support?
[23:26] <garhol> anadre: can you alter the setting on the launcher? perhaps a lower res. or non-fullscreen?
[23:26] <bitsmart> hi folks, I am trying to set up automounting an NTFS volume at boot and my custom kernel (2.6.31-9-rt) config file shows "CONFIG_FUSE_FS=y" but modprobe fuse returns FATAL: Module fuse not found.  Any ideas?
[23:26] <MBaer> Atheros Chipset WAN cards are the best
[23:26] <anandre> garhol, I'll give that a try.
[23:26] <DocWiggles> what do i do with -> sudo fsck /dev/sdb2 type it where?
[23:26] <oskar-> xci:  network-manager and its graphical interface like nm-applet work quite well
[23:26] <bcj> bitsmart: What's wrong with doing a simple fstab entry?
[23:26] <MBaer> DocWiggles in a Terminal
[23:26] <anandre> Nope.  Hitting options greys out most of the Launcher screen and it becomes non-responsive.
[23:26] <Typos_King> xci:   ... .I use nm-applet which is gnome network manager ^_^
[23:27] <oskar-> (this was very different in the beginning ;-) )
[23:27] <bcj> DocWiggles: At the command line.
[23:27] <DocWiggles> ok so in the terminal type: -> sudo fsck /dev/sdb2  right?
[23:27] <nathan_> hello every time i login i get an error message saying the fast user switcher applet has failed. Also, my volume control doesn't load. When I go to add panel I can't add those exact items back. I've tried creating a new user and then logging in but the same applets are missing. I've also tried gnome-applets --reload and they still do not load but in the output there is not error
[23:27] <bcj> Yes
[23:27] <DocWiggles> ite
[23:27] <Typos_King> DocWiggles:    in the console/terminal - >then reboot
[23:27] <futurama140> is there any program in ubuntu like the task manager in windows? to kill processes and such?
[23:27] <bcj> DocWiggles: You have to make sure that drive isn't mounted though.
[23:27] <bitsmart> bcj: here is my fstab entry /dev/sda1    /media/Media    ntfs-fuse    auto,gid=1001,umask=0002    0    0
[23:27] <xci> oskar-: Typos_King: it seems that my nm-applet does not do anything, or then it should be started with some extra flags :/
[23:27] <m4j> where do i go to open unetbootin
[23:27] <oskar-> futurama140:  top
[23:27] <DocWiggles> what drive
[23:27] <anandre> futurama140, top from terminal is what I've been using.
[23:27] <xci> I tried it a couple of times
[23:28] <futurama140> TY
[23:28] <LjL> !info gnome-system-monitor | futurama140
[23:28] <bitsmart> bcj: but the howto I was following also mentioned a command to test it without having to reboot, and the modprobe failed then
[23:28] <bcj> bitsmart: Have you tried a reboot?
[23:28] <oskar-> xci:  nm-applet normally paints an icon in some bar on the graphical screen and reacts on mouse clicking it
[23:28] <m4j> where do i go to open unetbootin
[23:28] <Typos_King> xci:  doesn't do anything?
[23:29] <bitsmart> bcj: hehe not yet, I will try. brb
[23:29] <Typos_King> xci:  you mean, you don't have a connection to connect to or missing drivers for your network
[23:29] <anandre> garhol, would I be looking at some kind of hardware issue with all these problems?  When I had the computer checked out, I was told it's probably a software issue (this was re: Windows not booting, but with the problems trying to run Wine...),  but this is frustrating beyond belief.
[23:29] <Typos_King> futurama140:   you could use xkill or -> http://tldp.org/LDP/LG/issue19/gx/ayers/qps.gif   <-- qps is in the repositories
[23:30] <nyaa> hey, is there a way to change the notification system so when I turn up the volume it won't un fullscreen a flash video?
[23:30] <futurama140> I just did "sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx" and its installed, here is my xorg.conf, how do i put them in there?
[23:30] <futurama140> http://pastebin.com/QZs6JbbN
[23:31] <oskar-> futurama140:  see "man xorg.conf"
[23:31] <garhol> anandre: wine can be a little tempremental but there's a possibility it's a hardware issue. I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as the two could be related but there's nothing that jumps out straight away.
[23:32] <oskar-> futurama140:  and there "DEVICE SECTION"
[23:32] <garhol> anandre: the launcher launching would indicate that wine is working but it sounds like the problem arises when dx9 kicks in and the game starts properly
[23:32] <knasto> Does anyone here scrobble with Rhythmbox?
