[09:39] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  try mplayer yet? it may have better luck.
[09:39] <OY1R> good morning
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  thers also differnt 'video out' options for vlc that can let it use different video outputs for the video.
[09:40] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: is that the ones that comes with ubuntu 10.10?
[09:40] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  totem is the default. people normally use gmplayer, or vlc.
[09:41] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: my /var/log/messages only come up with pulseaudio as a problem
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  theres other video players out there as well. but mplayer and vlc are the top ones.
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  i doubt if its a pulse audio issue.
[09:41] <Kabana> thunder cun
[09:41] <Kabana> t
[09:41] <rigved> where are all the dev files kept? i am talking about the dev version of packages downloaded from Software Center?
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  you can set vlc to use alsa instead of pulse audio also.
[09:42] <sresu> Dr_Willis: How to fix incomplete logout process?
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> sresu: no idea really.
[09:42] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: so totem is the 'movie player' in my programs list? also, i can get rythmbox to work
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  packages get installed all over the place , whever they need to go.   the .deb files are cached in /var/ somewhere
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  yes. if you look at the 'about' menu item. it will say its totem.
[09:42] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: i only chose VLC because i found that had little problems when using it in windows
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> Totem with all the extra plugins works decently well also.
[09:43] <OY1R> running Ubuntu 10.10 i have a usb soundcard that works fine with fldigi(hamradio prog), but it seems all other audio is routed to the USB soundcard when i plug it in, How can i set the internal card to "master" and not have ubuntu automaticaly choose the usb card as the main one?
[09:43] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: awesome, ill try that
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  i perfer 'smplayer' in many ways these days
[09:43] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: how so?
[09:43] <Kabana> dumb niggershut up
[09:43] <rigved> Dr_Willis: ok. i all .deb get cached in /vat/cache/apt/archives. thanx for your help
[09:43] <Kabana> fuck you Dr_Willis
[09:43] <FloodBot3> Kabana: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:43] <Kabana> go eat a dong
[09:43] <Kabana> FloodBot3:  eat your ass
[09:43] <dave3333> fuck you kabana
[09:44] <Kabana> fuck you
[09:44] <OY1R> haha
[09:44] <Kabana> nigger
[09:44] <FloodBot3> Kabana: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:44] <Kabana> shut up
[09:45] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: why do you say mplayer is better?
[09:45] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Thanks
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  i luike the features in 'smplayer' thats using mplayer as its video back3end.
[09:45] <elky> dave3333, in the future, don't engage in foul language with trolls ok?
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> !info smplayer
[09:45] <WilliamHerry> i like mplayer too
[09:45] <dave3333> oh, so you meant smplayer
[09:45] <dave3333> lol, ok
[09:46] <OY1R> as soon as i plug the usb soundcard in it becomes the master soundcard
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> smplayer uses mplayer.. gmplayer uses mplayer.. you can use mplayer by itself if you dont need a fancy gui.
[09:46] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: thanks
[09:47] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: im going to try it out
[09:48] <vipinb> hello all I'm facing a problem in pulseaudio any pulseaudio expert here. The problem is the same https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/430620
[09:48] <vipinb> Is there any fix available for this...
[09:49] <Weazel[WorK]> hey guys, i'm trying to update some packages from "Update Manager" and i'm getting -- >The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
[09:50] <skiwithpete> hi
[09:50] <Lartza_> How to make wget overwrite files?
[09:50] <lea123> Dr_Willis: It refuses to install giving an error message NO root file system defined .... I wonder if the the SDA5 again needs to be told to be formated and the mount to be specified as \
[09:51] <remyo> Has anyone had pstopdf hang on them before?
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> lea123:  you could just 'delete' the current / and swap partitions.. leaving part of the HD 'unallocated' and restart the installer.  and just let it automatically partition and install grub to the mbr.
[09:52] <Dr_Willis> lea123:  if you are reinstalling and manually setting the parittions . one is mounted to / and the otehr is of tyope 'swap'
[09:52] <Weazel[WorK]> hey guys, i'm trying to update some packages from "Update Manager" and i'm getting -- >The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.   anyone knows how to fix this?
[09:53] <rigved> Weazel[WorK]: which packages are these?
[09:53] <zvacet> Weazel[WorK] : depend what you put in source list
[09:54] <lea123> Dr_Willis: thats what I trying to do manually cuz the install side by option tells me ubuntu is already installed in the beginning of the HDD as represented graphically
[09:54] <skiwithpete> Weazel[WorK], you're going to want to go to the command line - you'll get better feedback there
[09:54] <dasgeisterbild> can someone help me with the instalation of fallout 3 on ubuntu 10.10
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> lea123:  if you delete the linux partitions, and the swap partition.. then reboot/or restart the installer.. it wont be there.
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> lea123:  you may want to install virtualvbox in windows. and play with 'installing' linux in there. to learn the tools.
[09:55] <tcopeland> can anyone tell me what ports i need to on localhost for tor, polipo, vidalia, and torbutton?
[09:55] <arrhenius> hello
[09:55] <tcopeland> to forward, sorry
[09:55] <ruchama> yes
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> tcopeland:  theres a tor ubuntu wiki page i recall.  but ive not used tor in a year+

[09:56] <chicognu> how to use compiz to make my desktop more, let me find the word .. happy ?
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> chicognu:  be a bit more specific. :)
[09:56] <dasgeisterbild> can someone please halp me with playonlinux
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> chicognu:  use teh compuiz option that puts ROOT: in the title of all programs that are running as root.. is a Must do - in my book. :)
[09:57] <OY1R> anyone ?
[09:58] <dave33333> Dr_Willis: smplayer does the same thing as vlc media player, with the same error message in /var/log/messages
[09:58] <Asylum> Hello
[09:58] <chicognu> Dr_Willis, I mean,  more beautiful ... I said compiz... but I don't really mean only compiz .. I'm new to that thing of a beautiful Desktop ...
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> dave33333:  i doubt if any of them are logging messages to /var/log/messages - if they are crashing X back to the GDM screen. then the X logs may have some info
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> dave33333:  does totem crash also?
[09:59] <dave33333> where do i find xlogs?
[09:59] <chicognu> maby only some gnomes themes will help, I don't know
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> dave33333:  /var/log has most all the logs
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> beautiful is relative.. :)
[10:00] <dave33333> Dr_Willis:no, totem plays a mpeg for me
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> dave33333:  an interesting test would be to try setting vlc to not use pulse audio - if you think its a pulse issue.
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> dave33333:  or run it from a terminal and see if any error messages show up when you run 'vlc whatever.avi'
[10:02] <dave33333> Dr_Willis: thats why i wanted to disable it
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> dave33333:  or try 'vlc --no-audio whatever.avi'
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> if vlc is crashing befor a video is even playing.. then i dont see how it can be a audio issue.
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> or mplayer -ao null foo.avi
[10:04] <frold> Is there a tortoise alternative to ubuntu? I have used the otherone at XP
[10:05] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: vlc from terminal logs me out too. it starts to play something, and i can hear audio, but the same error in /var/log/messages
[10:05] <rigved> frold: tortoiseSVN?
[10:05] <frold> rigved: yep
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  try with the No audio option?
[10:06] <dave3333> how can i try without pulse audio? or was that your 'mplayer -ao null clip.avi
[10:06] <Weazel[WorK]> is there a solution for checkpoint VPN client for Ubuntu 10.10 already ?
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  i gave  2 examples.. one for vlc. oen for mplayer
[10:06] <dave3333> i think i tried it normally and logged out before i read that message
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> dave33333:  or try 'vlc --no-audio whatever.avi'
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> or mplayer -ao null foo.avi
[10:06] <dave3333> ok
[10:06] <Dr_Willis> It would be a VERY weird pulse audio bug that would crash X.
[10:07] <Weazel[WorK]> or an alternate solution ?
[10:07] <WilliamHerry> what tool can used to download movies?
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> WilliamHerry:  depends on where you are getting them.
[10:07] <andrew__> How to connect to Internet via Mobile  in Ubuntu 10.04
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> !3g
[10:07] <andrew__> I have Micromax x360
[10:07] <andrew__> no 3g
[10:08] <WilliamHerry> usually use what package to download?
[10:08] <andrew__> just general dial up
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> !ppp
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> WilliamHerry:   You can use a web browser to download things.. You need tobe more speific.
[10:09] <rigved> !info rapidsvn | frold
[10:09] <WilliamHerry> like i want to download a movie from a bt website ?
[10:09] <andrew__> I tried but it aint working
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> WilliamHerry:  theres dozens of torrent clients out there.
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> !torrent
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> WilliamHerry:  transmission is the default client
[10:10] <WilliamHerry> Dr_Willis: i will try
[10:10] <ph8> hey all, if i have two copies of firefox on my system, and /usr/bin/firefox is linked to the 'wrong' one - how do i change that? isn't there some sort of preferred binary chooser application thing? Or should i actually just change the symlink which is my first inclination
[10:10] <_raven_> how to install unison-2.32 on 10.04?
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> I have to wonder whats to try. :) you click on a .torrent link.. and it should pop up transmission and start downloading...
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> !info unison
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> _raven_:  there may be some PPA's or you could always use source.
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> Or perhaps some backports repo.
[10:11] <_raven_> Dr_Willis, i tried everything with the tarball - make gives me errors all the time
[10:12] <boxbeatsy> hi everyone, is there an easy way to execute a set of commands over many servers at the same time?  i need to log into twenty servers and update a svn repository.
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> _raven_:  sudo apt-get build-deps unison   that will install all the needed deps.  then isntall build-essential package.. and it should compile.
[10:12] <Dr_Willis> boxbeatsy:  theres ssh features/tools that let you do that.
[10:12] <boxbeatsy> Dr_Willis: what exactly should i be searching for?
[10:13] <ph8>
[10:13] <andrew__> and one more thing how to install Metasploit in Ubuntu 10.04
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> boxbeatsy:  ssh remote admin several servers             perhaps
[10:13] <boxbeatsy> Dr_Willis: mmk.  thanks!
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> boxbeatsy:  ive seen it mentioned in dozwens of ssh 'tricks/tips' articals
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> !info metasploit
[10:14] <andrew__> yeppp!!!!!!!!!
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> andrew__:  find a PPA or use source it seems.
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> boxbeatsy:  i think thers some 'multi-ssh' tools in the repos also.
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> boxbeatsy:  googlin for --> ssh server admin multi      got a few good hits
[10:15] <[deXter]> Hi all, running ubuntu persistent from a live USB, it appears that a lot of read/writes are taking place even though no app is active. Anyone know of some methods to reduce this, perhaps increase some cache/buffer or create a ramfs and move stuff there, etc?
[10:15] <Dr_Willis> !info clusterssh
[10:15] <WilliamHerry> Dr_Willis: it gonna speed one day to finish downloading, torrent's problem?
[10:15] <Weazel[WorK]> Ubuntu 10.10 --- > anyone knows how can i set a Checkpoint VPN equivalent client ?
[10:16] <boxbeatsy> Dr_Willis: got it.  thank you!
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> [deXter]:  i belive at one time - it was  common to use ext2/3 insteadof ext4 for that.. but ive not really paid much attention to it.
[10:16] <_raven_> Dr_Willis, invalid operation with build-deps
[10:16] <milen8204> What is the whole word from /etc, for example /dev is from devices
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> WilliamHerry:  Torrents are only as fast as the people uploading...
[10:16] <Dr_Willis> _raven_:  it may be build-dep
[10:16] <NineTeen67Comet> when I run update-grub (or update-grub2) I see it knows there is a Gentoo installation (and XP); but when I reboot there is nothing in the grub menu. Any ideas how to catch that gentoo install on my menu?
[10:16] <jimcooncat_1> installing openssh-server on fresh lucid has a dependency problem -- what's the recommended fix?
[10:16] <WilliamHerry> ah
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> _raven_:  tab completion works for apt-get options. :)
[10:17] <Dr_Willis> jimcooncat_1:  i would update/upgrade and try it agagin
[10:17] <Weazel[WorK]> Common noone knows :( ?
[10:17] <[deXter]> Dr_Willis: Lately ext4 has been recommended over ext2/3, mainly because of performance reasons, and ext4 delayed write feature minimises frequent writes.. but I was thinking of something more along app / OS level, like move /tmp to ramfs or something?
[10:18] <jimcooncat_1> Dr_Willis, did that, it wants to downgrade openssh-client
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> [deXter]:  i tedn to just use live usb's as rescue systems. so ive not  mesed with it a lot.
[10:18] <jimcooncat_1> I thought maybe it was a common thing
[10:18] <Dr_Willis> jimcooncat_1:  a fresh install wants a downgrade? I would let it install.  and see what happens.
[10:18] <[deXter]> Dr_Willis: Perhaps you forget your puppy linux days? ;)
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> jimcooncat_1:   every time ive seen dependcy issues. ive needed a update/upgrade.
[10:19] <Dr_Willis> [deXter]:  ive worked hard to try to forget them.
[10:19] <[deXter]> Dr_Willis: ah, okay
[10:21] <jimcooncat_1> Dr_Willis, openssh-server installed ok when I let it downgrade the client. This just caught me off guard. Thanks
[10:21] <NineTeen67Comet> Is anyone aware of a way to add another OS to grub's startup? When I run update-grub it adds the XP OS and sees the gentoo install but doesn't add it .. ideas?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> jimcooncat_1:  perhaps some quirky bug fix/security thing.. i never seen anyone else mention  a ssh client downgrade.
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> NineTeen67Comet:  you can add custome entrys in /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[10:22] <|ns|nR8> NineTeen67Comet, tried startupmanager ?
[10:22] <NineTeen67Comet> Dr_Willis: That may just be the key I'm huntin' for .. thank you ..
[10:22] <NineTeen67Comet> |ns|nR8: no but I will give it a try .. normally don't like extra GUI stuff though .. if it works though I'm all for it ..

[10:24] <solotim> why the 0775 doesn't work.
[10:24] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: i tried the no audio option for vlc, it played...until i moved my mouse across it. i tried it again, and it also stops after a file has finished playing
[10:24] <milen8204> Dr_Willis,  is tehre any logical thing ? :)
[10:24] <ohir> sharma: latin et ceterae
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> solotim:  im suprised the quoteing of c$ works actually...
[10:24] <NineTeen67Comet> milen8204: I would assume it means etcetera .. mostly the config files ..
[10:25] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: so, how do i check my x log ?
[10:25] <suprengr> milen8204: do mean /etc as in "etcera" perhaps?
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> milen8204:  there is the linux filesystem hiearchy docs that detail  what the various /XXX stuff does.
[10:25] <suprengr> *etcetera
[10:25] <danms> is there any special considerations I have to take if I want to install a bootable ubuntu on an external drive? or just boot up the cd and choose the drive?
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> milen8204:  Most of the names are  grandfateered in from a LONG LONG time ago
[10:25] <solotim> Dr_Willis, yes it works. but the mounted files and dirs are still 0744
[10:25] <ohir> milen8204: latin et ceterae
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> danms:  be sure to tell GRUB to install to the usb drive at the end of the install
[10:26] <danms> ok thanks Dr_W

[10:27] <dave3333> sharma: have you looked at the micromax website for a driver?
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> solotim:  i was thinking i was using the smbfs packages these days instead of the cifs packages..  but i rarely use either. :)
[10:28] <solotim> :) OK
[10:28] <milen8204> ohir,  in latin that means the rest right ?
[10:28] <SwedeMike> sharma: your question can be answered on many levels, provide more information on what you have tried and what happened.
[10:28] <sharma> Dave3333 its not for Ubuntu
[10:28] <Dr_Willis> guess smbfs pulls in cifs packages :)

[10:29] <sharma> My mobile is Micromax x360
[10:29] <milen8204> ohir, thanks it is easy to remember when you know the logic
[10:29] <dave3333> sharma: what are you trying to get it to work on?
[10:30] <ohir> milen8204: in other contexts it can also mean 'and so on'
[10:30] <sharma> Dave3333: I basically want to connect to internet via mobile connection
[10:30] <dave3333> does anyone know where the x error log is
[10:30] <milen8204> ohir, ok thanks a lot

[10:31] <sharma> dAVE IT DOESNT HAVE
[10:31] <databridge> v identify test12345
[10:32] <dave3333> sharma: if you cant find a driver either at their website, or in synaptic package manager, or somewhere else on the internet, then your last chance is to talk to the people you bought the phone from

[10:51] <xeviox> hey how do I have to escape my password in chap-secrets when it contains a "#"?
[10:51] <xeviox> at the moment pptclient isn't able to authenticate
[10:51] <timo> Georgey: input is stored in ~/.bash_history, output isn't stored
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  there may be a log in the users home dir.
[10:51] <Georgey> thx
[10:51] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: /home/dave/???
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  that  would be your users home dir  - yes.. look at the various files and the .files that are hidden
[10:51] <Dr_Willis> !hidden
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> .xsession-errors
[10:52] <Dr_Willis> seems likely
[10:53] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  did the stuff stull crash shen using vlc and mplayer with the no sound options?
[10:53] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: im getting two errors a log. a GConf one and an RandR one
[10:54] <dave3333> im using Xinerama and an nvidia driver, two cards, 4 monitors
[10:54] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: yes, still crashed
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  if uysing nvidia. you proberly wan to enable twinview. not use xinerama
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  that points me to thinking its a video driver issue even more....
[10:54] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  you must have a big desk.

[11:03] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: thanks for all your help. ill have to keep trying tomorrow
[11:03] <rigved> sje46: once logged in, you can change the configuration to show the grub menu
[11:03] <rigved> !details | anon
[11:03] <sje46> oh...sorry, I'm just used to old ubuntu
[11:03] <sje46> thanks rigbed
[11:04] <rigved> sje46: you are welcome
[11:04] <Sibo> What kind of version?
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  i would fall back to a single monitor setup. and see if it still crashes. Im seeing a lot of differnt bug reporrts about stuff crashing with Multi Monitor setups
[11:05] <anon> I have a problem with restoring files from Deja Dup... I click on the "Restore" button, then I choose the location (a hard drive),  then I go forward to select a date. But when I try to restore files to the original location, it fails.
[11:05] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: why twinview?
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  noteabally this REport --> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/650539
[11:05] <anon> It fails with the message: "No files found in archive - nothing restored.".
[11:05] <Sibo> @anon and if you try a older archive?
[11:06] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: why do you suggest twinview over xinerama?
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  twinview IS Nvidia replacement for 'xinerama'  you dont need xinerama - twinview has all its features and more.
[11:06] <anon> Sibo, I get the same message: "No files found in archive - nothing restored."
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  that bug report quote --> "Apps are crashing either on launch or as soon as you hover over them."
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  theres no need to use xinerama. :) twinview does it all and more.
[11:07] <Sibo> Anon, did you have try to restore it on a other location?
[11:07] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: oh, ok. ill have to try it tomorrow. thanks for all your help
[11:07] <anon> Sibo, I get the same message: "No files found in archive - nothing restored."
[11:08] <Sibo> anon, Mmmm
[11:08] <Guest37880> quit
[11:08] <anon> Sibo, but there is nothing wrong with the hard drive that contains the files (3 GB in total).
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  seems to be a definate issue with more then 2 monitors.
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  possible fix --> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=841628#p841628
[11:11] <dave3333> oh, awesome
[11:11] <Sibo> Anon, did you switched from Ubuntu version?
[11:12] <anon> Sibo, I'm still using Ubuntu 10.10. The version of Deja Dup is 16
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  it seems to affect only qt aps.. which are in your case. vlc and smplayer.. normal gmplayer should work.
[11:12] <dusf> i'm ssh connected to my desktop at home, can i paste a link into ssh and make it somehow open the file on my desktop? i want to remotely start a torrent, .torrent files are associated with my client at home
[11:12] <dusf> i.e, my torrent client.
[11:13] <dusf> (which is also running)
[11:13] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: well, qt its worth trying to fix. do you think i should report my bug there too?
[11:13] <beli> dusf: X system running on both?
[11:13] <dusf> beli: only x at home, my employer hasn't yet found the linux light
[11:13] <dusf> (win xp)
[11:14] <pfuhks> ubuntu 10.10: flashvideos in firefox & chromium are lagging mean. already installed flashvideoreplacer addon. but when i keep moving my mouse, the videos play normally. googling didnt help.
[11:14] <root_> hello
[11:14] <beli> dusf: ok, basically you can X11-forward stuff. so you can run an application on your home box and let the graphical window be forwarded to your client box
[11:15] <beli> dusf: you need sth. like xming for that on your windows box
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  its a issue with X, not qt it seems. but it seems to be caused by qt aps. and a patch has been submitted to the Xorg stuff.. but that may  take some time to get  down to us users.
[11:15] <athit> dusf: why don't you forward a tunnel with ssh to access the web interface of you torrent client? (it is possible with transmission)
[11:15] <jimcooncat_1> where do I find a good tutorial on making home directories private? I'm getting conflicting advice from a google search
[11:15] <Dr_Willis> jimcooncat_1:  watch out for older guides.
[11:16] <jrib> jimcooncat_1: private from other users you mean?
[11:16] <dusf> beli: i don't really need a graphical window on the client win xp box, i just want ubuntu to open a link at home, it knows what to do with the torrent file once told to open it?
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> jimcooncat_1:  you could just set the permissions to not let others in.. thats the easiest way
[11:16] <dusf> athit: i don't think azureus has a web interface, i use it for rotating seeding files purposes
[11:16] <jimcooncat_1> jrib, yes. Dr_Willis, looking for the chmod and umask entries
[11:16] <Dr_Willis> dusf:  there are cli only torrent clients.. and MOST torrent clients (gui) can also have a 'watch directory' where they auto-load torrents from.
[11:16] <beli> dusf: oh, you need to edit your mime types then...sorry i missunderstood your q then
[11:17] <jrib> jimcooncat_1: just « chmod 770 ~ », nothing else to do...
[11:17] <Dr_Willis> dusf:  many also have web interfaces you could use to controll.
[11:17] <dusf> Dr_Willis: that is correct, there is a watch directory setting in az, i don't think i have it enabled though
[11:17] <athit> dusf: going for mailcap entries for .torrent you need to set DISPLAY correctly i think...
[11:17] <jimcooncat_1> thanks jrib. I want future users to also have that too
[11:18] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: should i report my information in the bug report?
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  you could. but it seems to be decently well covered.
[11:18] <jrib> jimcooncat_1: actually you should do 750, though it doesn't really matter for ubuntu.  And to edit it for future users, edit /etc/adduser.conf
[11:18] <Dr_Willis> dave3333:  it may take 6Mo for a patch to get down to us however. :()
[11:19] <jimcooncat_1> jrib, you rock.
[11:19] <athit> dusf: grep torrent in /etc/mailcap may give a hint
[11:20] <jrib> jimcooncat_1: I'm pretty sure the gui just uses adduser, but you should check (I'm assuming you are creating new users through the gui)
[11:20] <Sibo> Anon, im searching for you and try to replicate the problem, try in the mean time the gnome IRC channel
[11:20] <dave3333> Dr_Willis: wow, thanks for your help, i really need to go now though, see-ya
[11:20] <anon> Sibo, thanks. I appreciate it.
[11:22] <jimcooncat_1> jrib, in adduser.conf, I change DIR_MODE=0755 to 0750?
[11:23] <rigved> which is the best python IDE to use on Ubuntu 10.04?
[11:23] <rigved> that's IDE for python
[11:23] <kcj> rigved: Try #python
[11:23] <yeats> rigved: IDLE
[11:23] <Dr_Willis> !ide
[11:24] <rigved> kcj, yeats, Dr_Willis: thanx
[11:24] <kcj> Does anyone know if I can install the open-source video drivers for ati hardware that come with 9.10 in 10.10?
[11:27] <codeshepherd> i use logrotate to mange nginx error.txt file.. only root has permissions to read the error.txt file, i want  my user to be able to read it.. so i did chmod.. but the next time logrotate creates a new file .. the change permissions are lost.. how do i prevent it?
[11:28] <timo> codeshepherd: in logrotate.conf, you can specify the permissions and ownership of the new file
[11:28] <codeshepherd> thanks timo
[11:28] <timo> codeshepherd: with the 'create' directive, see man logrotate
[11:31] <bsod1> where is openjdk compiler? there is no compiler in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin
[11:32] <erUSUL> bsod1: type -P javac
[11:32] <airtonix> codeshepherd, another way would be to create a usergroup called "logreaders" and add yourself to it then setGID of the log folder to that group
[11:32] <codeshepherd> thanks airtonix

[11:33] <erUSUL> bsod1: are you sure you installed the jdk? maybe you only installed the jre ...
[11:33] <bsod1> nope, eclipse compiles my files somehow, with openjdk

[11:34] <bsod1> airtonix: none

[11:35] <erUSUL> bsod1: according to packages.ubuntu.com /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/bin/javac
[11:35] <erUSUL> bsod1: is included in openjdk-6-jdk.
[11:35] <bsod1> erUSUL: damn there is no javac, how can eclipse compile my files
[11:35] <kop_> hello,
[11:36] <Dr_Willis> !find javac
[11:36] <Sibo> Anon, i could not reproduce the problem with 10.04 (Sorry, runs the LTS version) And never used deja-dup ever before. What i saw is that Deja-dup duplicity used. Maybe you can restore your archive with in de cli with duplicity. Try to restore it to a temp directory.
[11:36] <erUSUL> bsod1: maybe eclipse has its own compiler
[11:36] <bsod1> erUSUL: damn oracle's JDK and eclipse's JDK works differently on my project, and deadline is in a few hours.
[11:37] <kop_> it this irc channel is suitable for asking general command line questions like (find, sort, etc) ?
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> kop_:  we can always point you to tutorials. :)

[11:39] <Sibo> Anon, newer versions has bug fixes. But if it not working try to try it with duplicity.
[11:40] <anon> Sibo, I'll try to do it with duplicity. Thanks for your help

[11:40] <sapiens__> hi
[11:40] <bsod1> eclipse ruined my project
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL:  is the answer 'magic' ?
[11:41] <sapiens__> i can't use mi atheros with ubuntu 10.10
[11:41] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: eclipse comes with its own compiler.
[11:41] <Sibo> Anon, and i don't know if its working. Duplicity says that you can restore a difftar archive manually by using tar and then cp, rdiff, and rm as nacessary.
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> erUSUL:  thats close to magic I guess. :)
[11:41] <sapiens__> i can login to <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:41] <erUSUL> Dr_Willis: unexpected; at leat for me ;P
[11:41] <Sibo> Anon, i dont know if you have a difftar archive.

[11:42] <erUSUL> sapiens__: System>Admin...>hardware drivers do not offer the wifi card activation ?
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  simple test.. try     ping <IP_ADDRESS>   , then try ping google.com
[11:43] <sapiens__> i can establish connection with the www with usb wifi
[11:43] <sapiens__> whoops
[11:43] <sapiens__> no
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  is that <IP_ADDRESS> your local router? or what?
[11:43] <sapiens__> yes it's my router
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  so your wireless card is cnnecting to the router's web interface?
[11:43] <sapiens__> yes
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  try the ping test i gave above.. sounds like a 'dns' issue to me.
[11:44] <sapiens__> no
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> You can be a BIT more verbose in your answers.....

[11:45] <sapiens__> i tried with noip, cdmon , Google DNS services but it doesn't solve my problem
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> JimboC:  via some scripts/commands

[11:49] <sapiens__> hi?
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> Hmm.
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> kop_:  you could perhaps pipe it into sort with some options

[12:00] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  so pinging google.com   seemes to have worked?
[12:00] <yeats> sapiens__: well that would mean your connectivity is intermittent... could be bad hardware or something going on with your ISP

[12:01] <tenthirtynine> Hey all, sorry if this is a daft question but I upgraded 10.10 to ubuntu studio. I now cant log in (User name is correct pw doesnt work). Any ideas?
[12:01] <yeats> sapiens__: but reaching it at all means that you have some connectivity and that the driver works
[12:02] <sapiens__> yes probably
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  Packet loss. Hmm.. that could point to some driver issues with the wirless driver.
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> how close are you to the router?
[12:03] <yeats> sapiens__: Dr_Willis may know more about this than I do ;-)
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> theres been some known 'low connectivity issues' with some of the wireless drivers in 10.10
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> yeats:  im about at my limit. :) all i know is what ive seen in here.
[12:03] <sapiens__> ha ha ha
[12:03] <sapiens__> 50 cm
[12:03] <yeats> sapiens__: does the same thing happen with a wired connection? or just with wifi?
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> You may want to check teh forums for your exact chipset. they may know of  any issues and work arounds.
[12:04] <sapiens__> this trouble only appear with atheros wifi card
[12:04] <DrManhattan> ok has anyone used both the 32 and the 64 bit versions of ubuntu on the same hardware and was there any performance difference
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> DrManhattan:  for some tasks 64bit will be faster.
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> DrManhattan:  i always use 64bit if the hardware supportes it.
[12:05] <DrManhattan> and ubuntu has full compat support ?
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> DrManhattan:  has worked fine for me for 2+ yrs.
[12:05] <yeats> sapiens__: do you use another OS on this computer as well? or just Ubuntu?
[12:05] <nikos> hi

[12:06] <sapiens__> yes, Atheros wifi card works on SUSE, Fedora and Windows
[12:06] <Flynsarmy> Is there some sort of keepalive setting in samba i can use?
[12:06] <tenthirtynine> Anyone any idea why upgrading from 10.10 to ubuntu studio has stopped me being able to log in (pw is rejected)
[12:06] <yeats> sapiens__: okay - then it does look like a driver issue after all... and that's beyond MY limit ;-)
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> tenthirtynine:  does logging in at console work?
[12:06] <Sibo> DrManhatten, if you configured grub or lilo correctly every distro can do that.
[12:06] <jrib> tenthirtynine: what does upgrading entail exactly?
[12:07] <tenthirtynine> Dr_willis - Sorry Im being lazy.. I will try that. brb
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> !ubuntustudio
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> I dont see how Studio would break anything.. but it may be a gdm quirk

[12:12] <euthymos> hi I'm getting a crash with brasero when I try to copy an audio CD into a disk image: http://pastebin.com/aPLtiCJw
[12:13] <euthymos> should I file a bug?
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> euthymos:  you have searched to see if a bug report on it allready exists?
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> euthymos:  brasero seems a bit problematic also. You may want to try some other cd/burning tools.
[12:14] <euthymos> Dr_Willis: i searched Google. What's the proper DB to file/search brasero bugs?
[12:14] <euthymos> Dr_Willis: like?
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> !bugs
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> !burn
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> euthymos:  even 'dd' can make a image of a audio cd I think.. if you jsut want an iso file of the cd.
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> euthymos:  i tedn to use k3b for my cd/dvd needs

[12:16] <Robinux> hey guys where can i read about the desktop things like shortcut keys to move between workspaces etc... in ubuntu

[12:16] <sosaited> I just installed and tried openSuse 11.3. And played a 720p x264 file in it. There is one particular scene which always lags in my Ubuntu, but in Kaffeine there it didn't. Can someone suggest how can I fix this on my Ubuntu 10.10?

[12:18] <Dr_Willis> nits:  it starts dimming from the start of video playback? or after in the movie part way?

[12:20] <Robinux> Dr_Willis, oh lolz ok i thought it was a software of some sort cuz their website is soo beautifull i can't believe they'd design such a place for a pdf book :)
[12:20] <Llama> Willis: Affirmative, I just lose all mouse-click functionality and, oddly, alt-tab shortcut functionality. Seems random atm, could be linked to suspend/resume.
[12:20] <nits> Dr_Willis: my comp jus woke up from a monitor power saver setting about 15 mins back
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> nits:  perhaps check out the settings in the powersaver tool/gui.  theres be3en some bugs with powersaveing
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> nits:  it would be a interesting test if it did it with any other players or just vlc.. if it did it in vlc with other desktops/window managers also.
[12:21] <anna-karin> How do I set wine to 256 colors?
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> nits:  there is a 'dim on inactive' setting i thought. That slmost sounds like thats kicking in.
[12:21] <anna-karin> The program that I'm trying to run is complaining that it's more then 256 colors

[12:22] <Dr_Willis> anna-karin:  check teh wine app database, and the #winehq channel perhaps
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> chicognu:  you mean close out X? or just a single window?
[12:23] <chicognu> Dr_Willis, the entire xorg

[12:28] <jshmoe24> yes, one that i have bought of course though
[12:28] <jshmoe24> just for backup
[12:28] <jshmoe24> I know where your going
[12:28] <jshmoe24> it might have encryption
[12:28] <jshmoe24> right
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> jshmoe24:  ive seen some newer movid dvd's that give problems when trying to read/copy them some bug in the decess libs or somthing.
[12:29] <jshmoe24> oh yea, :( sadface
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> Id say it definatly has encryption. :)  but thats not stoping anyone.
[12:29] <jshmoe24> right right :)
[12:29] <jshmoe24> I like you already
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> You are just copiing files with the file manager?
[12:29] <Robinux> guys is it MORE memory saving to spread the apps that you have running all over the workspaces, (i'm trying to conserv memory and cpu usage i only have 400MB dedicated to this ubuntu vbox)
[12:30] <jshmoe24> yea what i do is open the cd and then copy the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS to the desktop in a folder named for the movie i am ripping. Then i use mkisofs to make a iso and then burn it to disk
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> Robinux:  i doubt if he saveings/differance will matter very much
[12:30] <Robinux> thats why i even asked for shortcut keys to move between workspaces, Dr_Willis :P
[12:30] <LjL> Robinux: eeeh... not really, workspaces are merely a convenience, they have no effect on memory
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> jshmoe24:  you may want to check out k3b. it can automate that.
[12:30] <nits> Dr_Willis: wen i restarted xserver it didn't solve the dimming issue

[12:46] <sosaited> Can I use xine libraries in MPlayer? I have noticed Kaffeine runs my 720p videos a bit smoother  in opensuse
[12:46] <Ar|stote|is> by the way they said something about new intel drivers and that graphics on netbooks would be smoother in 10.10. do this drivers and the "better" touch support get ported back to 10.04 too ?
[12:47] <erUSUL> sosaited: mplayer has its own "video engine" it does not use other's.
[12:47] <erUSUL> sosaited: so use kaffeine+libxine in (k)ubuntu too. or xine-ui directly
[12:47] <sosaited> Is there any other player that uses xine? I think I can install kaffeine on ubuntu, but I am afraid those kde libraries and stuff might slow it down and then the point will be moot
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> sosaited: you can tell mplayer to use xine backend
[12:48] <sosaited> oh sorry, I meant Totem
[12:49] <sosaited> ActionParsnip: Can I do that in totem or VLC as well?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> sosaited: not sure, let me see
[12:49] <ghostnik11> does any know or can recommend a good video card that would allow me to get compiz working on a dell optiplex gx240 as I will be going to a computer fair in a couple of hours that sells computer parts for cheap

[12:51] <AbhiJit> hey guys. how to check which is current kernel version in lucid?
[12:51] <AbhiJit> because !info linux tells about maverick
[12:51] <blue_anna> hello
[12:51] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: uname -r
[12:51] <AbhiJit> erUSUL, errr...no i mean i wish to cross check that i have latest kernel update.
[12:51] <blue_anna> I am having trouble with dnsmasq -- it isnt adding <IP_ADDRESS> automatically to resolv.conf
[12:52] <Etsun> uname -r
[12:52] <sosaited> AbhiJit: If you have updates enabled, it will notify you of any new kernel releases for Lucid
[12:52] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: apt-cache policy linux-image
[12:52] <AbhiJit> Etsun, erUSUL uname -r tell me which is current kernel installed in 'my' system. thats not what i am looking for
[12:53] <AbhiJit> sosaited, and what about if i have u
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> sosaited: anything in: man vlc    ?
[12:53] <AbhiJit> sosaited, and what about if i have 'update' system collapsed?
[12:53]  * hashashin nas
[12:54] <AbhiJit> erUSUL, that command tellme  that no linux-image is installed. i.e. none
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> blue_anna: add it in network manager
[12:54] <AbhiJit> i am looking for a 'way' of being sure that i am having the latest kernel version as per the lucid update schedule.
[12:54] <stilia-johny> #webcam
[12:54] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: install it
[12:55] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: sudo apt-get install linux-image
[12:55] <AbhiJit> erUSUL, ok.
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> blue_anna: you also need to add <IP_ADDRESS> as a listening IP in dnsmasq.cof
[12:55] <sosaited> AbhiJit: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[12:55] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: to make sure you have allways the last aviable kernel you install that package
[12:55] <erUSUL> !info linux-image | AbhiJit
[12:55] <blue_anna> ActionParsnip, I added it in dnsmasq.conf and dhclient.conf .. do you know the cli for network manager?

[12:56] <elleryss> how r you guys?
[12:56] <blue_anna> ActionParsnip, no I am in xfce
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> blue_anna: you need to edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf  find this line:  #listen-address=     and change it to:   listen-address=<IP_ADDRESS>
[12:57] <blue_anna> elleryss, ^^ listening to some fine music bem dia
[12:57] <AbhiJit> erUSUL, I installed it. so now it will automatically do the job or i need to do something manualy?
[12:57] <blue_anna> ActionParsnip, I did that already
[12:57] <erUSUL> AbhiJit: that's it. nothing else is needed
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> blue_anna: if you use a gui network manager app then you will need to add it to the config there, set the interface to DHCP (address only) then set the DNS to: <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:58] <elleryss> hi
[12:58] <AbhiJit> erUSUL, yah thats nice! thank you! :)
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> blue_anna: obv replace <IP_ADDRESS> with your routers IP
[12:59] <blue_anna> ActionParsnip, I got it now, thank you :) that's funny, I switched network interfaces to eth1 and that was why .. I havent configured the network applet in forever
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> :)
[13:06] <mathew> chicognu, solved the laptop speaker problem by adding the line options snd-hda-intel model=mobile to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[13:13] <ghostnik11> is there a compatibility website for graphic cards and compiz
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> !hcl
[13:14] <chicognu> a good gui to open, make, extract, view, etc, compacted files
[13:14] <chicognu> ?
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: as long as the video cchip can do 3D accelleration in ubuntu, you can run compiz
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: fileroller, its in a default install
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> chicognu: or ark in kde
[13:15] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: okay, but its an agp slot and i don't know if i can get a pci video card and use that to run compiz as i have unused pci slots
[13:16] <The_Dude> Hey guys, I'm planning on buying a new graphics card. I occasionally play Enemy Territory, True Combat Elite and Urban Terror. Will a nVidia 8400GS run these games or would I be better of getting a 9400 or 9500GT?
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: the interface is moot, its the chip you need to worry about
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> The_Dude: i played urban terror on a 6250LE very well
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> The_Dude: whats the difference in price?
[13:17] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: so i am good an agp card will work or pci card just have to get one that had 3d acceleration and more than 256 mb?
[13:17] <kop> Hi, I have a problem, find command outputs different results depending on -print switch. Is it normal?
[13:17] <kop>  I don't get from manual how output can be different
[13:17] <The_Dude> ActionParsnip, About 12 euro's.
[13:17] <The_Dude> I think
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: the only thing the interface changes is data speed, agp willmake it run a bit better
[13:17] <kop> please, could someone take a look at command here: http://pastebin.com/pNaSMW68
[13:17] <ActionParsnip> The_Dude: may as well spend it then
[13:18] <The_Dude> I'm leaning towards the 9500GT. I assume it supports vdpau as well?
[13:19] <ActionParsnip> The_Dude: will do, yes
[13:19] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: okay I will be getting a new video card but, when i do where can i go on the internet to read up about changing the interface to increase the data speed of the video card
[13:20] <Guest69238> Does anyone knew the solution to missing menu in audacity?
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: thats dictated by the speed of your AGP slot, if its 4x and you stick and 8x card in it, it will run at 4x (the slowest speed)
[13:20] <kop> note the first command without -print display's additional files ending with '~' and begining with '.' which are added to -prune switch (therefore should be ingored)
[13:20] <tamir> hi all

[13:21] <ActionParsnip> tamir: how does the tv device attach?
[13:22] <ghostnik11> actionparsnip: oh then I am screwed its a dell optiplex gx240 and that means it is probably 4x and I probably won't be able to get compiz to work smoothly as I can get a new video card with 3D but due to 4x it will make stuff like the cube in compiz run extra slow
[13:22] <tamir> tv card

[13:29] <tamir> ???????????
[13:29] <uski> tamir, what's your video card?
[13:29] <tamir> i dont know
[13:29] <uski> what do you want to install ?
[13:30] <uski> i.e. what doesn't work currently
[13:30] <tamir> i dont know driver names?
[13:30] <tamir> i dont know driver names
[13:30] <allu2> tamir: and the manufactor of your video card?
[13:30] <tamir> how to know my drivers
[13:30] <allu2> tamir: Ati, nvidia, intel..
[13:31] <tamir> i cannot know
[13:31] <uski> tamir: the first question is: what doesn't work? what are the symptoms
[13:31] <uski> bad resolution, ...
[13:31] <toe> hi. normally i use debian/gentoo. which package tool is recommended for ubuntu? still apt-get?
[13:31] <tamir> bad resolution
[13:31] <uski> tamir: have you tried changing it first? in System/Preferences/Display I believe
[13:31] <allu2> toe: apt-get
[13:31] <allu2> toe: or aptitude
[13:32] <allu2> same thing in IMHO
[13:32] <toe> in the past they had different databases related to automatically/manually installed packages, iirc...
[13:32] <tamir> and Tv card turner
[13:34] <allu2> toe: oki, so i suppose apt-get is more recommend

[13:58] <zombie-robot> any way to change the sort order?
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> depends on whats looking at the files...

[14:06] <Dr_Willis> tonysan:  perhaps via fsarchiver, not sure of  a best way to do it.
[14:06] <gadbad> @ikonia : using chmod?
[14:06] <ikonia> gadbad: or the gui, whatever works for you

[14:08] <CookiesnMilkz> Is there a way to change the splash screen in ubuntu 10.10?
[14:08] <karthick87> I have four drives. I want that whenever user tries to mount drive it should ask for password. I know password protecting ALL drives is possible through user previlages but I dont want it for all drives. I want it for single drive.
[14:09] <pfuhks> CookiesnMilkz: get ubuntu tweak
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> CookiesnMilkz:  you mean the Plymouth Animation during boot up? there is no real splash screen...

[14:12] <swim> how do i play a stupid dvd on ubuntu
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> !dvd
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> swim:  for a comercial dvd - you need to install that decess (sp?) decoder. then most players can play them.

[14:15] <spivwaq> Hi
[14:15] <iskywalker> I have a dvd recorded from my hdd-recorder from the TV, i want to make with ubuntu another copy, but seems the dvd wont be recognized
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> iskywalker:  did you 'finalize' the dvd on the recorder?
[14:15] <iskywalker> sr 4:0:0:0: [sr0] Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE
[14:15] <hallo> Hi, got this question about unix security..
[14:15] <iskywalker> Dr_Willis: probably not
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> iskywalker:  that may be the issue.
[14:16] <hallo> .....could it be useful for an attacker to crack passwords on a system he already got root access to?
[14:16] <iskywalker> how can I catch up it?
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> Put it back in the recorder and see if theres a finalize option.
[14:16] <hallo> * in what way?
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> hallo:  Huh? rephrase the question.
[14:17] <swim> i have a regular dvd, i can't find a "dvd decoder" in softare center..  what do i need to download to play a regular dvd on this computer???
[14:17] <iskywalker> nope, the recorder did not have it ( phillips, model I forgot is already under a ton of stuff)
[14:17] <BluesKaj> if it's a dvd recorder then there's probly a DRM code inserted to prevent copying, iskywalker
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> iskywalker:  i had to finalize a lot of the disks the wife made the other day with her recorder. they wouldebnt play in anything else untill i finalized them
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> Hmm the 2 dvd recorders/dvr i have - dont have any priotection.
[14:17] <iskywalker> well Cant I do on ubuntu?
[14:18] <elleryss> hi
[14:18] <BluesKaj> install libdvdcss2 , iskywalker and your cdrom will ignore the DRM
[14:18] <hallo> "could it be useful for an attacker to crack passwords on a system he already got root access to?"
[14:19] <iskywalker> already installed
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[14:19] <hallo> is there any reason why someone with a root password would like to crack other passwords(users) on the same system?
[14:19] <BluesKaj> ok idk then follow Dr_Willis advice
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> hallo:  if someone has broken in.. they may as well try to get user passwords..
[14:19] <erUSUL> hallo: no; she can just change the other user's passwords
[14:19] <aeon-ltd> hallo: they might use the same pw for other thins eg. email accounts
[14:19] <iskywalker> swim: try win32 codecs and libdvdcss2
[14:19] <aeon-ltd> *things
[14:20] <erUSUL> hallo: or what aeon-ltd said
[14:20] <hallo> aeon-ltd: good point ;)
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> hallo: if a user has root access it can change the password of any user, so cracking wont be necessary
[14:20] <hallo> Tanks guys :)
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> hallo: ubuntu doesn't support having a root password, nor is it supported
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> aparently the growifs tool can finalize a disk.. but ive no idea if it will really work.. and it could break the disk
[14:21] <NikitaUtiu> hey
[14:21] <blackshirt> hey
[14:21] <NikitaUtiu> how can i get the pid of a window ?
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> hey
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> growisofs finalize info -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=847578
[14:22] <iskywalker> Dr_Willis: thankx I could take a look
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> NikitaUtiu: ps -ef | less   and you can review and get the pid, or maybe: pidoff name
[14:22] <iskywalker> but why it wont read the dvd if it is not finalized?
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> iskywalker:  i suggest hitting up google for other info on it. and find somthing newer.. that thread is old.
[14:22] <iskywalker> and the dvd player have no problem with it...
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> iskywalker:  i was just googling for 'ubuntu finalize dvd'
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> iskywalker:  the dvd player you USed to make the disk you mean?
[14:23] <swim> i downloaded everything i can find with those words in software center..  still won'
[14:23] <swim> t play dvd
[14:23] <NikitaUtiu> ActionParsnip,  can't i smoehow get it by clicking it, like the xkill ?
[14:24] <erUSUL> swim: you may need libdcss2 from medibuntu ...
[14:24] <erUSUL> !medibuntu | swim
[14:24] <iskywalker> no I have another one, and it is fine (well I think I burned in the old one, and played in the new one, but this should not make any difference, shouldnt it?)

[14:34] <rushdy> Hi there! I'm following the server guide (https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/likewise-open.html) and have used Likewise Open to join our school domain. I seem to be missing the utilities listed in the Other Utilities section? lwinet, lwimsg, lwiinfo, likewise-winbindd (which I was hoping to use for NTLM with Squid). Any ideas?
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> !find  lwinet
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> sapiens__: you can always compile it manually, it's not hard
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> !find  lwiinfo

[14:38] <sapiens__> how?
[14:38] <red2kic> taiar: Afaik -- You need to buy Apple products to do developments for Apple products.
[14:39] <sapiens__> madwifi?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> taiar: its a proprietary OS so I doubt it
[14:40] <sapiens__> http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 ?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> sapiens__: http://probing.wikidot.com/ubuntu-intrepid-8-10-replacing-ath9k-by-madwifi
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> sapiens__: it'll work on any release as it's compiling
[14:41] <taiar> ActionParsnip, red2kic, What a deception, man! I was pretty sure that there was a way to simulate the system (something like a simple virtual machine)
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> sapiens__: you are etting issues as the people whom compiled the kernel haen't included the wirelessmodule you need
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> taiar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh6tdYrIazE  maybe

[14:48] <Dr_Willis> Chalkie1983:  not sure thats going to be doable at all.
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> Chalkie1983:  you would have to somehow tell it to boot the ubuntu media..
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> I have to wonder if anyone else finds the idea of a 'server running windows xp' a little... odd..
[14:49] <idefix> Hello everybody i get a SIGILL on ubuntu 10.04 when listen() is called on a QTcpServer with QT 4.6.2
[14:49] <Chalkie1983> Dr_Willis i purchased it rather cheaply

[14:50] <Chalkie1983> i was gonna use apache for winblows
[14:51] <derp_> hello! I have a problem. I want to remove a program I compiled from a .tar.gz so I can use the PPA version instead (which is more updated). However, I don't think the tarball came with make uninstall. Can I simply delete every known file associated with this program, or do I have to unregister is someplace else before it is wiped off my computer?
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> derp_:  double check that theres no make uninstall.. that will save a lot of time
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> Chalkie1983: you will need to boot to some form of install media, if you had a DRAC card in the system you can do it 100% remotely (assuming you use Dell hardware ;))
[14:52] <UserX7> derp_: cd into the dir and make uninstall
[14:52] <Dr_Willis> derp_:  and  in the future you may want to instgasll stuff from soruce to the /opt/ directory
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> derp_: if you use the PPA it will simply replace the files
[14:53] <derp_> I did try running make uninstall but nothing seemed to happen?
[14:53] <stnick5> Just figured out why I couldn't access my Windows 7 shares on my Ubuntu laptop. Windows Live Mail/Messenger was interfering with Samba for some reason. Anyone know of a way to get Samba working with Mail/Messenger installed on Windows 7?
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> or /usr/local instead of /opt/
[14:53] <derp_> I have since installed the checkinstall package so that future programs end up as .deb packages, though.
[14:54] <stnick5> I've uninstalled Mail/Messenger and Samba is working correctly now, but if anyone knows how to get it working with Windows Live Mail/Messenger installed then that'd be awesome if they could tell me how to get it working. If not I'll just use alternative software.
[14:54] <Dr_Willis> the ppa may or may not install over it. Ive seen source packges default to like /usr/local  and deb's not
[14:55] <Dr_Willis> stnick5:  this is the first ive heard of the 2 conflicting.. i cant imagine why they would conflict
[14:55] <derp_> hmm
[14:56] <stnick5> Dr_Willis: It's been discussed quite a lot on various forums. I found a lot of other users with the same problem when Googling for a solution
[14:56] <stnick5> I found a lot of people who fixed it by uninstalling Mail/Messenger (I'm one of them now), but nobody who has got it working with them installed.

[14:59] <RetroGamer> does anyone know how I could run some remote init scripts using cron?  Not wseen that one.

[15:04] <stnick5> Okay
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: well it's not working now. Try: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf   change the first nameserver to <IP_ADDRESS>   save the new file, then try updating
[15:05] <Stem> Dr_willis apparantly it happened because of updates
[15:05] <RetroGamer> ActionParsnip, interesting...it works for the other computers, and the internet is all good
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  perhaps udev dident get configured all the way. :) like the rror says. can you get to a terminal at all? or does th system not boot at all?
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: worth a try
[15:06] <Stem> Well I can go into the part where it aks for some comands
[15:06] <Stem> the BUsybox v1.13.3
[15:07] <RetroGamer> ActionParsnip, aye...restart network manager?
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: no, or it will undo the setting
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: just go for the update
[15:08] <kmiksi> bye
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: if its good you can apply the setting to network manager so it sticks
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  eww.  You might want to boot a live cd, and chroot in to the system and try  update/upgradeing and see if it finishes aything.
[15:09] <Stem> chroot?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> !chroot
[15:09] <Stem> thats the command?
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  theres a few google hits on the topic  heres one -> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/ubuntu-63/ubuntu-wont-start-after-applying-patches-794452/

[15:10] <RetroGamer> ActionParsnip, already tried...its been like this a few weeks
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> warpi: mount the partition (you don't mount drives), using different options
[15:10] <RetroGamer> it seems the actual program has broken somehow...
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: tried aptitude?

[15:11] <sapiens__> i tried to compile ath9k manually and wlan0 doesn't work
[15:12] <RetroGamer> ActionParsnip, all good using aptitude!
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> warpi: if you use gid=users  then all will have access
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: looks like thats your ticket dude
[15:12] <Stem> It doesn't look like the same error but oh well
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: ok restart network manager and retest
[15:12] <RetroGamer> ActionParsnip, can I reinstall apt-get from aptitude?
[15:12] <Stem> Do I have to be in Live mode to make the fix??
[15:12] <warpi> ActionParsnip, how do i do that?
[15:12] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: i guess so, it's a package like the rest, the updates may fix it
[15:12] <Stem> I have a live cd in right now
[15:13] <ActionParsnip> !mount | warpi
[15:13] <RetroGamer> ActionParsnip, spoke too soon...it updates but doesn't get any packages
[15:14] <amarcolino> can someone do me a favour, could they tell me if they got the directory 'los+found' owned by root in /home/ ?
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: hmm weird
[15:14] <RetroGamer> amarcolino, aye we all got that
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> amarcolino:  when fsck finds files it puts them in there.
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> amarcolino:  you would have one on every ext2/3/4 filesystem normally
[15:15] <UukGoblin> hi guys
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> amarcolino: yes i have one
[15:15] <robertzaccour> When I try to install Ubuntu on my Acus eee pc 9001 the installer always hangs
[15:15] <Stem> Ok I am in terminal on the live cd
[15:15] <robertzaccour> here's what it looks like http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq274/Knuckle_Brawler/DSCI0249.jpg?t=1289744909
[15:15] <Stem> what command do I type
[15:16] <robertzaccour> and thats where it always hangs
[15:16] <JustChilN> mine looks like this when i run live cd or try to install    http://lookpic.com/c1/i2/3034/noq0yUe3.png
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> robertzaccour: did you MD5 test the ISO you are using? If you burned a CD, did you check the CD for defects
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> robertzaccour: did you test your RAM for errors?
[15:17] <robertzaccour> ActionParsnip: i did it on a usb
[15:17] <Frijolie> why does Ubuntu 10.10 force you to have either epiphany or firefox installed? when you uninstall one of them it installs the other
[15:17] <amarcolino> Dr_Willis: RetroGamer, ActionParsnip: thanks, apparently only today I noticed it in my system
[15:17] <Frijolie> is there a way to remove them both?
[15:17] <UukGoblin> I get stuck after initrd's mounted the root filesystem (over nfs) and tries to exec run-init. After run-init is run, there's a brief pause, then I see the console font change, and then all I have is 3 messages from the kernel 'ata12.02: failed to resume link (SControl 0)' (and for ata12.03 and ata12.04). Here's what I did: installed maverick using netboot on a hard drive, moved all the files onto the nfs server, re-created the initrd after changing i
[15:17] <robertzaccour> ActionParsnip: i don't know much about the crappy defalt OS installed on the eee
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> robertzaccour: did you MD5 test the ISO before transferring it?
[15:18] <Frijolie> sudo apt-get purge firefox* epiphany* does not remove both
[15:18] <UukGoblin> I thought initrd was broken, but it mounts the root filesytem all fine
[15:18] <sudipta> my screenlets wont start at startup?how to get over it?amusing 10.10
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> Frijolie: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox* epiphany*
[15:18] <UukGoblin> it's the init that's breaking up. Any idea why it doesn't display anything? How can I make it output some debug?
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> sudipta: launch it/them from terminal, the output will give clues
[15:19] <Telamon> Does anyone know where I might find a repo with the binary-amtel architecture?  I don't really know what to search for so google isn't a lot of help...
[15:19] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, see above "sudo apt-get purge firefox* epiphany* does not remove both"
[15:19] <robertzaccour> ActionParsnip: I dont know how to do that
[15:19] <blizzard_> Hi Does ubuntu have any package that lists all 'C' commands and their syntaxes. I am tired of 'man'.
[15:19] <Stem> Would a re-install fix this problem with ubuntu/
[15:19] <sudipta> as how suppose i want to run the sysmonitor
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> robertzaccour: so your ISO is unchecked. You have no way of knowing if the download was complete or error free
[15:19] <robertzaccour> ActionParsnip: in the live cd session it boots up, but hangs at the same place every time
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | robertzaccour
[15:20] <robertzaccour> ActionParsnip: I downloaded it several times in unetbootin with different releases GUI and netinstall
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  You need to mount your curren system some where.  then run a few commands to get a 'chroot shelll' on the installed system. then try to fix it
[15:20] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, The following packages will be REMOVED:
[15:20] <Frijolie>   epiphany-browser* epiphany-browser-data*
[15:20] <Frijolie> The following NEW packages will be installed:
[15:20] <Frijolie>   firefox firefox-branding ubufox xul-ext-ubufox
[15:20] <FloodBot1> Frijolie: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> Stem: you just need to reinstall the bootloader, not the whole OS
[15:20] <Frijolie> floodbod | FloodBot1
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> Frijolie: use a pastebin for multiple lines
[15:20] <Frijolie> ActionParship, ok
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  some of the fix's here might work -> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[15:20] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, thanks
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  if its grub thats broken - you may not enve need to chroot.
[15:21] <sudipta> ActionParsnip>as how suppose i want to run the sysmonitor
[15:21] <Frijolie> floodbot !FloodBot1
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[15:22] <UukGoblin> oh, and after a while (2 minutes?) I get 'INFO: task modprob:490 blocked for more than 120 seconds"
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> sudipta: not sure, if you look at the item you run to make the item run, run it in terminal
[15:22] <UukGoblin> same with udevd later on
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  i think that restoregrub url the bot just gave may be a bit more clear
[15:22] <UukGoblin> so init definitely is running /something/, but why doesn't it display any messages? has that changed in maverick, is that normal?
[15:22] <Frijolie> guess I stumped the best of 'em
[15:22] <Stem> hmmm
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  basically you mount tye system (access it and it should tget mounted) then run the proper command SIMILER to this one..
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda
[15:23] <Dr_Willis>  the /media/###### will differ.
[15:23] <UukGoblin> the only messages I'm getting come from the kernel (cause they have the timestamp in square brackets in front of them)
[15:23] <robertzaccour> I'll probably have to return the thing tomorrow
[15:23] <sudipta> ActionParsnip>i dont know either but can u tell if there is any yahoo widgets  for linux.Those r quite awesome
[15:23] <robertzaccour> can't stay with the crappy default OS thats on it
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> Frijolie: i'm waiting for you pastebin
[15:23] <RetroGamer> ActionParsnip, guess I'm gonna have to reinstall unless I want to compile everything ><
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: you could use the install CD to reinstall apt-get
[15:24] <darkfrog> I have two video cards on my laptop (intel and nvidia) and when I engage the nvidia driver X won't start, but without the Intel driver is used.  It says it can't find any screens with the nvidia driver...is there something special I have to set to make it work with the nvidia card?
[15:24] <Diverdude> is it possible to install the freeimage project ( http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/download.html ) using synaptic ?
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> RetroGamer: make sure you run: sudo apt-get update     first
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> Diverdude:  see if there exists 'ppa' repositories for it.. or some deb files.
[15:24] <Stem> well I am running ubuntu off a external hardrive
[15:24] <Stem> will it do anything to the primary hardrive by default
[15:25] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/Zi59FPsv
[15:25] <airtonix> sudipta, you could just use conky instead... none of the "screenlets" come close to being a "system monitor" like conky does.
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> Stem:   You DID isntall grub to sda to begin with? or some otehr sdX ?
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  that may be the core of the whole problem.
[15:25] <Diverdude> Dr_Willis, how do i search for a ppa repo with it?
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> !ppa
[15:25] <Stem> yes
[15:25] <Stem> I installed it to a external hardrive
[15:26] <karthick87> I have deleted a partition which had an incomplete ubuntu install using windows 7 partition manager other than that I had a different partition with a working ubuntu but when I deleted the partition and restarted the computer I have found out that grub wont let me enter any operating system so I used the fixMbr command in the windows 7 disc and it seems like grub has been gone and when I boot I don't receive a choice of an os but it automat
[15:26] <karthick87> iclly loads windows 7 so my question is how can I get ubuntu back?
[15:26] <Stem> thats a problem?
[15:26] <Stem> cant it be ven installed on a usb
[15:26] <Stem> even
[15:26] <airtonix> Diverdude, using google. or your favourite search engine.... typcially use keywords like : ppa <insert thing name you want here>
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  but at the end of the install. i belive it asked to isntall GRUB to 'sda' or some other location.
[15:26] <amarcolino> anyone knows which is more appropriate to stop shell login i.e. /etc/nologin or /bin/false
 i use it but yahoo widgets r good(graphically).Is there any way to run them on ubuntu
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  it can.. but you need to be carefull where you put grub.
[15:26] <UukGoblin> did anyone with maverick ever see any boot messages from init?
[15:26] <Stem> dr_willis will it work if I reinstall ubuntu
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Frijolie: you should run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove     to get rid of those pesky packages
[15:27] <Stem> Its ok if it would take more time
[15:27] <airtonix> sudipta, thats your opinon. and i have no idea because just use the watch command in tilda
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  it worked befor.. so of coruse it should work.. but thats a little overkill.
[15:27] <Stem> overkill?
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  the issue may be that the updater installed/did grub to the wrong location
[15:27] <Stem> I dont have anything on it really
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> Stem:   its your time :) not mine.
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> It is wotth while to learn how grub works.
 sorry i didnt get it......:)
[15:28] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, i did http://pastebin.com/MYwtJhPv
[15:28] <Stem> I remember it was updating grub
[15:28] <Stem> testurday
[15:28] <Stem> and it kind of stopped at 98%
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Frijolie: try simply: sudo apt-get --purge remove firefox
[15:29] <Dovid> hi. is it better to have GRUB in /dev/sda MBR or /dev/sda1/ First sector of boot partition ?
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  pay attention to the installer and be sure to see wher its putting grub. It could be it  put GRUB on sda (the internal drive) when you should of toldit to put it on the external HD.
[15:29] <Joric> did anyone hear about the service that erases /etc/hosts after reboot? one user keeps mumbling about it
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  You could even install grub to all the hd;s  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc'
[15:29] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, "couldn't find package firefox" (its already uninstalled)
[15:29] <amarcolino> correction - anyone knows which is more appropriate to stop shell login i.e. /sbin/nologin or /bin/false ?
[15:30] <UukGoblin> amarcolino, nologin will probably display a friendlier message
[15:30] <Stem> well the primary HD has windows
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> amarcolino:  i dont have a /sbin/nologin
[15:30] <Stem> I dont want to screw with that
[15:30] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, sudo apt-get --purge remove epiphany-browser (http://pastebin.com/SBJJdW0v)
[15:30] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, (tries to install firefox again)
[15:31] <Stem> I got an external hd so that it wont effect the primary built in HD
[15:31] <Stem> it was running well
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  for all we know . You allready have isntalled grub to the hard drive on it.
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> Frijolie: try letting it install as it wants, ten remove it
[15:31] <Stem> lol
[15:31] <Stem> windows is probably like WTF? lol
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  pay attentoon to the insteller ,.  the last dialog box I think has a item at the bottom where to install grub to.
[15:31] <Stem> which installer
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  if you Unplug the USB hd and reboot the pc.. do you see a grub menu or message - that will be the answer.
[15:31] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, that's what ive been doing, you let it uninstall epiphany-browser and it installs firefox, you uninstall firefox and it installs epiphany-browser
[15:31] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, that's why i'm here
[15:32] <amarcolino> Dr_Willis: /usr/sbin/nologin
[15:32] <Stem> if I unplug the USB
[15:32] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, I don't want either installed
[15:32] <Stem> it wil go to the LIve cd
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  the Ubuntun installer aks where to install grub.. you want to tell it to put it on the USB hd.. and boot the PC from the usb hd.
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Frijolie: very very weird
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  and if no USB and no cd.. does it boot windows normally?
[15:32] <Frijolie> ActionParsnip, I agree
[15:32] <Stem> No iwindows is screwed
[15:32] <airtonix> sudipta, i don't see any difference between yahoo widgets and google gadgets to be honest
[15:32] <Stem> but it always was from the beginning
[15:32] <n0lan> i love yahoo widgets, i wish it was available for us
[15:32] <Stem> windows is so damn unreliable
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  Huh? so windows was broken befor you even tried to install ubutnu?
[15:33] <Stem> yes
[15:33] <Stem> but I was not installing ubuntu on THAT same HD
[15:33] <amarcolino> UukGoblin: I really don't care about displaying a friendly message just want the accounts not to have shell even better disconnect if anyone tries to login
[15:33] <Stem> I put it on a external
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  im talking about GRUB.. not  the main UBUNTU install..
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  you can Install GRUB to the USB HD and still put GRUB on the internal HD.
[15:33] <n0lan> you're booting from an external?
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> oops backwards..
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  you can Install Ubuntu to the USB HD and still put GRUB on the internal HD.
[15:33] <Stem> Ohh I see
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  you want to be SURE (6th time for me to say this) to tell the installer to put GRUB on teh same HD as your Ubuntu install.....
[15:34] <Stem> So the main installer of ubuntu does not install grub?
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  and tell the PC to boot the usb first.
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> it DOES install it.. and it asks where.
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> and the DEFAULT is normally 'sda' which is normally the INTERNAL hard drive
[15:35] <Stem> ok... easy Dr_Willis ... I am new to this
[15:35] <x404x> does the gnome remote desktop 2.32 support file transfers ?
yeah i have that too.DO u know how to add more widgets to it ,cause it comes with a few gadgets
[15:35] <Dr_Willis> whch is proberly NOT what you want. :)
[15:35] <Stem> Do I remove th live cd also?
[15:35] <Noble> If I want to make my own customized ubuntu cd, where is the best place to start reading up?
[15:35] <UukGoblin> is it because of upstart that I don't see any boot messages?\
[15:36] <airtonix> sudipta, ? yes but i forget and cant be bothered exploring the ' for you.. you should do it. it will only take you a few seconds to discover it.
ok
thnx
[15:36] <airtonix> !enter
[15:37] <el_wholer> i'm not a bot :p
[15:37] <Stem> Ahhh
[15:37] <UukGoblin> el_wholer, prove it!
[15:38] <Stem> it now says GRUB loading... error: no such disk...Grub Rescue
[15:38] <sapiens__> buaaa :((((
[15:38] <Stem> I guess its on the harddrive
[15:38] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  grub is aparently installed to sda :) correct.
[15:38] <Stem> the main one
[15:38] <sapiens__> ath9k doesn't work, madwifi doesn't work
[15:38] <Stem> yes
[15:39] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  you could try booting the PC from teh USB hd via the bios .. it might actually boot or try telling the bios to boot from the HD first.. it might boot.
[15:39] <Stem> Yes I did set that
[15:39] <Stem> It does boot from the USB first
[15:39] <Stem> But you told me to unplug it
[15:39] <Stem> :)
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> Stem:   now Plug it back in. and tell the PC to boot from the HD first..
[15:40] <kaushal> Hi
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  try both with it plugged in. One might work.
[15:40] <n0lan> hi
[15:40] <kaushal> Can i push any DNS names to the DHCP Clients ?
[15:40] <incster> Where can I download the alsamixer?
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> !find alsamixer
[15:40] <kaushal> from my DHCP Server
[15:40] <kaushal> for example DNS <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:41] <marduk> hi
[15:41] <Stem> ok booted from USB
[15:41] <Stem> still says the same error
[15:41] <incster> What terminal command would i use to get the alsamixer, not gui
[15:41] <el_wholer> haha
[15:42] <Stem> Booted from Hradrive and it says GRUB RESCUE
[15:42] <Stem> both dont work
[15:42] <incster> For some reason i don't have it.
[15:42] <marduk> incster: alsamixer requires no gui
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> incster:  command is 'alsamixer' for a curses based mixer in a terminal
[15:42] <Stem> Does the new Ubuntu come with the new GRUB?
[15:42] <Stem> Because I am using 9.10
[15:42] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  ubuntu uses grub2 for the last 2 releases.. not sure what 9.10 came with..
[15:43] <marduk> or alsactl
[15:43] <incster> "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory"
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> Stem:  if you are going to do a clean isntall.. why are you useign 9.10 ?
[15:43] <Stem> I had the installation cd
[15:43] <Stem> a original
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> I would suggest finding a 10.10 cd. :)
[15:43] <sapiens__> kj
[15:44] <Stem> haha ya I actually was doing that
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> I cant even rember the changes from 9.10 to 10.10
[15:44] <Stem> while downloading from windows I got a blue screen and windows never loaded again
[15:44] <Stem> probably something else
[15:44] <Stem> but still...bad luck
[15:44] <Stem> I was trying to download 10.10
[15:44] <sapiens__> any idea?
[15:45] <wlan> 有人说中文吗

[15:50] <capetown> I access the server from both a 9.04 and 10.10 machine with the same reproducible symptom.
[15:51] <dustin_> x404x most vnc's dont allow moving files between machines but if you have vnc you can add pure-ftpd and pureadmin to your ubuntu machine for file x-fers
[15:51] <dustin_> x404x pureadmin makeks ftp service very simple
[15:52] <x404x> then i need to add ftp to the nat translation also, since my crap router doesnt work with webinterface, i had to setup in telnet which was a nightmare (thomson st780)
[15:52] <karthick87> Is there any way to set up a VPN connection though only the terminal, using SSH? I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 server..?
[15:53] <dustin_> x404x ouch man that stinks
[15:53] <x404x> i read in dox that file xfers are done different on linux and windows, maybe thats why mine dont work, im using windows to control a ubuntu server
[15:53] <darkfrog> I think this page is exactly what I need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics but there is no directory called "vgaswitcheroo" at the location specified...how do I install it?
[15:53] <dustin_> x404x does your router support dmz hosting?

[15:54] <x404x> yeah and all i got from my isp was "your line works" they did not even bother to get up from their chair to read my problems
[15:54] <dustin_> x404x if so you can place your ubuntu box "outside" the firewall virtualy
[15:54] <benasp> Hi, I have a little question I run Office 2007 on wine and even though I installer MS font, the font displayed arn't quite right. When I compare what I see in wine and in virtualbox running the same file the font are different. Someone have an idea ? thank a lot

[15:54] <RetroGamer> not sure why I typed freenode ><
[15:54] <dgskjjkdfsjd> i've got an atheros wifi card
[15:54] <dustin_> x404x you can then use firestarter on ubuntu to secure the machine
[15:55] <dgskjjkdfsjd> with ubuntu 10.10
[15:55] <x404x> anyway its pretty horrible to setup nat in telnet...
[15:55] <dustin_> x404x its how I have mine set up
[15:55] <dgskjjkdfsjd> and i get packages lost pinging
[15:55] <x404x> its crap enough if the web interface did work, i really need a new router/modem
[15:55] <dgskjjkdfsjd> i use madwifi driver
[15:55] <dustin_> x404x I have had similer problems with many brands
[15:56] <dustin_> x404x I found that I can rely on ubuntus stability and security far more then a router firewall
[15:57] <x404x> yeah my isp tryed to hack the code, i even get their name when logging in to it... guess why it never works right lol
[15:57] <x404x> the retards cant even read my support tickets and havent even figured out my router doesnt work right
[15:57] <dgskjjkdfsjd> any idea?
[15:57] <x404x> they just suggest resetting it and losing all my settings every day
[15:57] <karthick87> Opensuse is known by it's YAST control center, a powerfull tool that centralizes all the system configurations. It makes a lot simpler to configure the system, why Ubuntu never make use of such thing ?
[15:57] <dustin_> x404x at least they dont try to hang up on you when you tell them you use linux
[15:58] <x404x> lol hang up, i didnt even try to call, i sendt them email and i never mentioned linux
[15:58] <dustin_> karthick87 I will take apt over yast anyday for ease of use
[15:58] <x404x> they prolly figgered that out themselves since i need dhcp and nat translations
[15:58] <syn-ack> karthick87: Because YaST is slow and there's no need for it
[15:58] <x404x> they just wanna sell internet to old grannies with no clue
[15:59] <dustin_> x404x lol
[15:59] <karthick87> dustin_: oke
[15:59] <syn-ack> And it can be quite inflexible.
[15:59] <myrkraverk> Is it "safe" to add older repositories to my /etc/apt/sources.list?  I want to install gcc 2.95.
[15:59] <x404x> wish i could be my own isp hehe
[15:59] <clausen> is it possible to control NetworkManager from the command line?
[15:59] <syn-ack> claude2: yes
[15:59] <clausen> I want to tell it to enable networking
[15:59] <dgskjjkdfsjd> athewros wifi card problem
[16:00] <capetown> If I find a bug in ubuntu server where should I report it?
[16:00] <airtonix> x404x, why is it unsecure? if you have no services running the you have no open ports.
[16:01] <dustin_> x404x well try using dmz I have strong doubts that you will get hacked especialy if you dont have SSH server enabled (its not by default) then add pureadmin through synaptic manager
[16:01] <aeon-ltd> !bugs | capetown
[16:01] <dustin_> x404x it wil take care of the pure-ftpd dependance automaticaly
[16:02] <airtonix> x404x, even if you do run a "Listening Service" on a WAN address like sshd, then you would want to 1) run it on a non standard port. 2) use Hosts/Deny 3) setup max password attempts before client IP address is blocked by IPtables.
[16:03] <dgskjjkdfsjd> atheros doesn't work!!
[16:03] <capetown> aeon-ltd: are you in a position to confirm this bug?
[16:03] <bukem> the only way ubuntu is ever going to make a dent in the desktop market is if it finds a way to install programs for the companies that dont bother making products for linux OS .. ie most games, adobe
[16:04] <airtonix> !troll
[16:04] <syn-ack> bukem: Stop it now.
[16:04] <ikonia> bukem: this is a support channel, Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[16:04] <bukem> im not a troll ..
[16:04] <airtonix> orly?
[16:04] <bukem> im trying to start something
[16:04] <Dr_Willis> bukem:  its not ubuntu support related.. so take it elsewhere.
[16:04] <syn-ack> ikonia: heh, I knew I was forgetting a channel.
[16:04] <ikonia> bukem: start it in #ubuntu-offtopic , not here, here is for support only
[16:05] <dgskjjkdfsjd> ¿¿???
[16:05] <bukem> trying to solve the problem that ubuntu cannot install some of the major programs on is OS is not ubuntu related ??
[16:05] <DelphiWorld> ~ask
[16:05] <Dr_Willis> !wireless | dgskjjkdfsjd
[16:05] <ikonia> bukem: no
[16:05] <DelphiWorld> ~ask
[16:05] <ikonia> bukem: this is a SUPPORT channel,
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> bukem:  theres no solution to it..   so its not relevant.
[16:06] <samantha2> Question? I just installed lxde desktop on a ubuntu distro.  I changed the login screen to lxde, but the standard ubuntu show up.  I did a quick reboot and nothing.  Am I doing something wrong?  thank you.
[16:06] <Vhozard> How can I auto startup a program in minimized state?
[16:06] <dgskjjkdfsjd> i've reded it 3 times
[16:06] <dgskjjkdfsjd> *read
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> samantha2:  you select gnome or lxde at the LOGIN screen via the menus
[16:06] <dgskjjkdfsjd> ath9k troubles with ubuntu 10.10
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> Vhozard:  devilspie, or compuiz i belive can be configured to do that.
[16:07] <Vhozard> I want to be able to auto-start KTorrent in minimized (to taskbar) state. How Can I do that?
[16:07] <syn-ack> Vhozard: add it to your start up applications
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> Vhozard:  ktorrent Might have command line options to do it.
[16:08] <clausen> Vhozard, have you looked at "maximus"
[16:08] <clausen> Vhozard, it might have an option to do it
[16:08] <syn-ack> I know Transmission as option to start minimized, so ktorrent should too
[16:08] <clausen> Vhozard, (maximus is a program to start programs in a maximized state)
[16:08] <samantha2> Dr_willis, I can access Lubuntu from the bottom screen.  That isn't the problem.  Everytime I boot my laptop.  I want it to display the Lubuntu Login Screen instead of the Ubuntu Login Screen.
[16:08] <Vhozard> I will take a look at maximus
[16:09] <dustin_> vhozard adding it to your startup applications by using "menue" System/preferences/startup tasks
[16:09] <Vhozard> Yes, I know that.
[16:09] <Vhozard> I was wondering how I could do that AND have it start in minimized state.
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> Vhozard:  check out the 'kstart' tool - i think it can do that also.
[16:09] <dustin_> vhozard you would then select brouse and go to usr/bin and select ktorrent
[16:09] <capetown> I have a really strange bug! Please can someone help me verify this! I share a drive from a 10.04.1 server to two clients. 9.04 and 10.10. In both I have the same symptom. It goes like this. I create a file called Important and then I create a folder called Important. Instantly the file called Important disappears! Normally people are not doing this but I randomly sumbled accross it! Please could someone offer to verify...
[16:09] <Vhozard> dustin_ I know.... I said that already.
[16:09] <Dr_Willis> samantha2:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm    should let you select what Xdm to use.
[16:10] <dustin_> vhozard sorry just started looking at chat 2 sec ago
[16:10] <samantha2> thank you
[16:10] <Vhozard> Dr_Willis I dont think kstart can do that.
[16:10] <Dr_Willis> capetown:  share as in using 'samba' you mean
[16:11] <Vhozard> Is there any way I could let it start minimized by specifying a command option, like: ktorrent -minimized ??
[16:11] <Dr_Willis> Vhozard:  kstart has several related options to that stuff..
[16:11] <syn-ack> Vhozard: You'd have to check the documentation
[16:11] <capetown> Dr_W: Yes. it is a SAMBA server.
[16:12] <capetown> Dr_W: I have had no problems until stumbling accross this randomly. It has not caused me tears yet.
[16:12] <Dr_Willis>  capetown  try 2 identical dirs/files with differnet Case In the anmes also.. samba will hide one  because its doing things to keep stuff compatiablw with wiondows.
[16:13] <Dr_Willis> capetown:  look on the linux side. and the stuff is proberly there..  samba is hideing it from the clients
[16:13] <capetown> Dr_W: I will check if it gets hidden...
[16:13] <groovy_d> hi everyone.  need help with bison webam.  i've contacted the manufacturer of my netbook, and they apparently don't have the model number of my webcam; just that its a bison.  its not working with ubuntu.  any suggestions to make it work?
[16:13] <dustin_> groovy_d open a terminal and type lsusb -v
[16:14] <groovy_d> thanks dustin_
[16:14] <dustin_> adn see if you can find your webcam in the list
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> Hmm. I cant even seem to make a file and dir with the same name on  Linux... :)
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> #samba may know more about how its doing the  stuff
[16:14] <capetown> Dr_W: Nope. I created a file called test2, and then a folder called test2 and the file test2  suddenly disappears.
[16:15] <capetown> Dr_W: Yes. I did try to make a file called x and then a folder called x and visa versa. The second one refuses to be created. BUT that is on your LOCAL filesystem!
[16:16] <Kara-No> I just tried making a file and folder with the same name, and it didn't work either (Xfce 4.6 on Ubuntu 10.10)
[16:16] <Dr_Willis> Interesting.. id say ask in #samba. theres proberly some settings that can tweak the behaivor
[16:16] <amarcolino> just wondering if accounts like daemon in /etc/passwd require a valid shell because I thought the shell was only for logins instead of processes that run internally. In that case I could change the shell to false without any consequences to the system, unless someone can say otherwise
[16:16] <groovy_d> @dustin_: webcam not on list
[16:16] <aeon-ltd> capetown: mkdir then touch?
[16:17] <dustin_> groovy_d if the webcam is no tin the list at all then there probably isnt support for it yet under linux/ubuntu
[16:17] <capetown> aeon-ltd: Okay, I will try that...
[16:17] <groovy_d> that sucks...  thanks dustin_
[16:18] <catharsis> hello
[16:18] <groovy_d> looks like its time to change to mint
[16:18] <dustin_> groovy_d dont give up on us though there may be a work around check the forums for your model of laptop
[16:18] <xukun> can somebody help me find my sound card using aplay -l I need to know what my device=hw is
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> amarcolino:  its proberly best to leave those things alone. :)
[16:18] <subay^^> hi all.. where is the channels logs for this server?
[16:19] <Dr_Willis> !logs | subay^^
[16:19] <aeon-ltd> subay^^: depends on your client
[16:21] <amarcolino> Dr_Willis: yeah it probably is but... eeeerh... I've changed the ones I am certain the system wont use or doesn't need it's just a few left (daemon, backup, libuuid, proxy, www-data) I ain't so certain about
[16:21] <sapiens__> hi?
[16:21] <catharsis> who know where to get skype for ubuntu?
[16:21] <sapiens__> any idea?
[16:21] <aeon-ltd> sapiens__: hi
[16:21] <Dr_Willis> amarcolino:  i doubt if you are gaining any real security in this exersize...
[16:22] <sapiens__> i have no internet with atheros
[16:22] <aeon-ltd> !skype | catharsis
[16:22] <catharsis> thnx
[16:22] <aeon-ltd> catharsis: welcome :)
[16:22] <BluesKaj> catharsis, use the static version , it works best
[16:22] <catharsis> actually i need to know one more thing
[16:23] <amarcolino> Dr_Willis: probably not my friend but the sense of it is what consoles me
[16:23] <xukun> if I have only one sound card my device-hw number would be device=hw:1,??
[16:24] <karthick87> When creating a new text file, should I add a .txt extension to its name?
[16:24] <catharsis> but i really doubt you know about it)
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> karthick87:  dosent matter.
[16:24] <Dr_Willis> karthick87:  add it if you like..
[16:24] <Nikki_> Hi Everyone, I had a quick question.  I wanted to install ubuntu server to use as a file server/media server (for my ps3).  I currently have Windows 7 with data I want to keep on it.  Can I install ubuntu without formatting?
[16:24] <syn-ack> Kartagis: like Dr_Willis said, it doesn't matter. Linux detects the file type based on it's stickybit.
[16:25] <Dr_Willis> Nikki_:  you can resuize the windows partitions from within windows. or via the linux installer.
[16:25] <Dr_Willis> Nikki_:  when in doubt.. make backups first
[16:25] <Nikki_> Dr_Willis: - thanks.  I will probably just backuip and install.  less risk!
[16:25] <Nikki_> thanks :)
[16:26] <marcos> oi
[16:26] <marcos> quem ta ai?
[16:29] <Habstinat> So if I want to download the alternate installer of 10.10 x64, ubuntu-10.10-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent is the way to go, right>
[16:29] <thedangler> anyone know i its possible to use virtual box with the ubuntu partition that is already on the computer?  through windows 7?
[16:29] <aeon-ltd> Habstinat: for 64bit yeah
[16:30] <catharsis> !Ekiga
[16:30] <Habstinat> aeon-ltd: Thanks, downloading now.
[16:30] <x404x> hm why does my server not send email reports ? in /var/log/mail.log it says the report is sendt ok, but never arrives. its no labeled as spam either
[16:30] <x404x> ah hm i am missing some numbers in the email adress... maybe thats the cause
[16:31] <catharsis> if I install Ekiga will i be able to search 4 skype people?
[16:31] <Vhozard> ubuntu + elementary theme = WIN
[16:31] <Vhozard> Dont use Ekiga, use Skype 4
[16:31] <Vhozard> Its better
[16:32] <catharsis> i tried to install
[16:32] <Kartagis> syn-ack, ?
[16:32] <syn-ack> yes?
[16:32] <catharsis> it says package out of date
[16:32] <Kartagis> syn-ack, I didn't even ask a question. why did you refer to me?
 Kartagis: like Dr_Willis said, it doesn't matter. Linux detects the file type based on it's stickybit.
[16:33] <sapiens__> any sollution peeease x(((((
[16:33] <Vhozard> If you want to install Sk
[16:33] <syn-ack> Kartagis: may have been a miss-fire. Sorry about that
[16:33] <Kartagis> oh, you meant to refer to karthick87
[16:33] <syn-ack> aye
[16:33] <sapiens__> atheros card doesn't work, i can ping to <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:33] <sapiens__> but no to google.com
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  i thought it was determined that the card was working only had VERY high packet loss....
[16:34] <Kirsch> hey guys, i have to recompile apache on my mac, i would like to try and recompile it with the same settings that ubuntu uses (in terms of command line options), i'm not familiar with the build aspect's of ubuntu (very familar with the system), can someone point me to where i may find this?
[16:34] <cannonfodder> are there any defragmenting tools for ubuntu?   ive got my ext3 overflowed and have started using my ntfs windows partition to store stuff under ubuntu.
[16:34] <syn-ack> sapiens__: I'd say that your card is working fine. Sounds like your DNS may be misconfigured
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> cannonfodder:  to defrag NTFS you mean?
[16:34] <cannonfodder> yes
[16:34] <syn-ack> cannonfodder: Not for NTFS, there are tools though
[16:34] <sapiens__> Dr_Willis: on ubuntu 10.04 and other linux atheros runs like a charm
[16:34] <Kirsch> i basically jsut want to know how ubuntu distributes their binaries for the "./configure" line
[16:34] <sapiens__> no
[16:34] <Kirsch> it doesn't show in phpinfo()
[16:34] <Sibo> sapiens__: or your gateway
[16:35] <cannonfodder> ok thanks guys
[16:35] <sapiens__> it have the same DNS as wired connection
[16:35] <mkl> hi,is xubuntu just ubuntu w a different window manager?
[16:35] <stnick5> Just wanting to ask a question about sharing between Ubuntu and Windows 7. I've got it set up so that my Ubuntu machine can access the drives on my Windows 7 machine, and I need to enter a password, but I'm in student accommodation on a network with everyone else. Is it possible that everyone else will be able to access my shared drives?
[16:35] <Sibo> sapiens__: I think your Default gataway is pointing to a other network card
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  I thought  an hr+ was spent earlioer today with you and it was determined the wireless drivers were teh issue.. what has changed since then? you were trying to compile the latest drivers/kernel i thought earlier today
[16:35] <sapiens__> i tried Google, opendns, noip, ISP DNS services
[16:35] <ak> is it me or are the bookmarks in firefox not really synching? seems everything just gets dumped into unsorted bookmarks is that really how its supposed to work?
[16:35] <niggger> Hey.
[16:35] <syn-ack> mkl: For the most part, yes.
[16:36] <sapiens__> Sibo: ?¿?¿
[16:36] <ak> sorry i was talking about bindwood ubuntu one firefox sync
[16:36] <niggger> Does anyone know if I can install Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a HP Pavillion?
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> netbook ed. should install anywhere ubuntu can.

[16:37] <mkl> syn-ack: what do u mean by most part?
[16:37] <sapiens__> i tried compiling madwifi driver
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  and earlier today you could Ping google.com but with a 60% packet loss...
[16:37] <syn-ack> niggger: Please change your nick. That's not really appropriate for the channel.
[16:37] <Dr_Willis> sapiens__:  so basically that all failed?
[16:37] <sapiens__> yes
[16:38] <syn-ack> mkl: Yes, yes it is.
[16:38] <sapiens__> i uninstalld networkmanager
[16:38] <sapiens__> i use wicd
[16:38] <syn-ack> Thank you.

[16:41] <alkisg> ahtmly2k_: does `xvinfo` return a lot of output, or does it just say "no adaptors present" ?
[16:41] <mkl> syn-ack: do u think ubuntu with the manager switched to the XFCE will run same speed as xubuntu?
[16:41] <ahtmly2k_> dunno whatya mean
[16:41] <Sibo> noise_: hi there
[16:41] <syn-ack> mkl: yes.
[16:41] <ahtmly2k_> xvinfo?
[16:41] <alkisg> ahtmly2k_: yes , run that on a terminal
[16:41] <ahtmly2k_> i think adapters fine
[16:41] <noise_> hi
[16:41] <ahtmly2k_> compiz seems all good
[16:42] <Sibo> noise_: Install playonlinux and in playonlinux dream.. 8
[16:42] <catharsis> ahtmly2k_ yes it is, but if you need to see cyrillic symbols in dc++ or filezilla,- wine is the best solution )
[16:42] <mkl> syn-ack: cool,that saves me a dl :)
[16:42] <syn-ack> mkl: Depending on the hardware you have, it may actually run a bit faster.
 still i dualboot anyways.. i need adobe cs4.. nothing within linux just cuts it//
[16:43] <ahtmly2k_> ..
[16:44] <soraxx> 28 packets transmitted, 8 received, 71% packet loss, time 41153ms
[16:44] <Sibo> ahtmly2k: You want CS4 in linux?
 i did. and what exactly am i looking for?
[16:44] <clausen> does anyone know the dbus command to start networking with Network Manager?
[16:44] <alkisg> (06:41:03 PM) alkisg: ahtmly2k_: does `xvinfo` return a lot of output, or does it just say "no adaptors present" ?
[16:44] <GNU\Stallman> Why is Mark Shuttleworth going to destroy Ubuntu in the upcoming major releases by using a stupid desktop environment like "Unity"?
[16:45] <ahtmly2k_>  <alkisg> a heck load.. dunno waht it means either.. heheh..
[16:46] <alkisg> ahtmly2k_: ok, then it isn't a XVideo problem. Just thought you should check that first before trying to find the codec problem.
 oh wait.. should i be doing it while running a clip?
[16:46] <dustin_> GNU/Stallman Gnome, xfce, kde, and unity will all be available when the unity desktop is made the default
[16:46] <alkisg> ahtmly2k_: no
[16:47] <ahtmly2k_> okey dokey.. yeah well everything seemed hunkydorry..
[16:47] <syn-ack> I'm still unsure if I agree with the move to unity as the default for desktop.
[16:47] <ahtmly2k_> but still laggy
[16:47] <dustin_> GNU/Stallman there has been a call from the greater majority to make a standard desktop (like unity) for all the distros as the default but the alternatives will never die
[16:47] <x0rs> Does anyone else notice facebook images look lower quality in Ubuntu?
