[04:32] <unr3a1> brandoney, yes it would
[04:32] <sacarlson> papi: ok problem solved
[04:32] <maco> dexikiix: no thatll change your panel bg
[04:32] <maco> dexikiix: you need to find a pixmap-based theme that has an image for the window background already (not all of them do)
[04:33] <brandoney> oh snap.  It is putting files back to absolute paths instead of in current directory.
[04:33] <dexikiix> maco, yeah it looked like that one did, but maybe not... is that what its called "window-bg" maybe? i was just assuming.
[04:33] <newbie23> abhijit, yeah, i tried that, but VLC does not adapt to bitrate automatically, this is bad on 3g and wifi
[04:33] <brandoney> It was backup of a home folder
[04:33] <maco> dexikiix: yes window-bg sound right
[04:34] <abhijit> newbie23, have you look at flumotion?
[04:34] <HULK> hii everybody
[04:34] <well_laid_lawn> brandoney: ctrl+c to kill it
[04:34] <dexikiix> maco, also one other thing, is gtk 2 pre-loaded on 10.04?
[04:34] <brandoney> :(  too late, what is the undo command?
[04:34] <maco> dexikiix: thats what all of gnome is written in
[04:34] <brandoney> jk
[04:34] <dexikiix> maco, see im a newb :p
[04:34] <newbie23> abhijit, no I will look now, thanks
[04:34] <well_laid_lawn> heh
[04:35] <unr3a1> well_laid_lawn, if it keeps crashing, why would he want to stop it?
[04:35] <abhijit> newbie23, http://www.flumotion.net/
[04:35] <maco> dexikiix: nah, toolkits aer something only programmers care about
[04:35] <G1Bs0n> who wants to hear a story
[04:35] <well_laid_lawn> unr3a1: it was restoring a backupped home folder he said
[04:35] <brandoney> I guess I know why it was failing.
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> G1Bs0n: only if its about ubuntu support and is a question
[04:35] <G1Bs0n> Is this free node

[04:37] <abhijit> newbie23, search your ubuntu software center for 'streaming'
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> G1Bs0n: yes this is #ubuntu which is a channel on freenode
[04:37] <sacarlson> babu__:  what is gammu?  you can send sms with ruby with skype
[04:37] <mikeliss> Flannel: <Continuing picking your brain> What happens to a running command if screen is killed accidentally?
[04:37] <dexikiix> maco, is there an easy way to tell if it has an image as a background? some of them, just because it's not a solid color, seems like it is an image, but turns out its not, so it looks at least
[04:37] <unr3a1> well_laid_lawn, ah, alright.
[04:37] <G1Bs0n> sac

[04:37] <abhijit> sacarlson, gammu is great mobile handling tool.
[04:37] <newbie23> abhijit, I did, thats how I found VLC and mencoder, but they dont do what I want

[04:37] <abhijit> newbie23, and thas how i found flumotion and gmlive and internet dj console etc

[04:38] <mikeliss> Flannel: But I can log out of SSH and everything, yes?
[04:38] <abhijit> babu__, gammu have mailing lists which can you very useful for you.
[04:38] <mikeliss> Flannel: Assuming screen has been detached?
[04:38] <newbie23> abhijit, and they dont do what orb does :(
[04:38] <ActionParsnip> noobuntu: should be fine, if you are using proprietary video drivers i would remove them beforehand
[04:38] <abhijit> newbie23, :(
[04:38] <newbie23> I guess I have to stick with Win7 for now

[04:39] <dexikiix> maco, i found one that appears transparent, whats the chance that it's calling on a blank image?

[04:42] <PAPI> sacarlson the source hard drive is formate ext3 and iḿ using it in a router that i can use bittorrent with my pc off, but i have a problem that i cant acces that hard drive via ftp )the only way= so i thought use ubuntu to acces the hard drive via usb, but im having a 2 days bad time with ubuntu trying to acces the harddrive. So what i did is buy a new hard drive and with a utility that the router use in windows copy the downloaded contend to the hard drive,

[04:44] <newbie23> abhijit, jinzora does nothing... and mediatomb uses VLC for transcoding (no bitrate adaptation) :(
[04:44] <babu__> ya
[04:44] <abhijit> newbie23, uhhh.
[04:44] <babu__> is skype sends sms to mobile thru internet
[04:44] <abhijit> DasEi, #hardware? for stock talk?

[04:46] <b1t_sn1ff3r> hey?
[04:46] <xissburg> It may sound funny to you but I'm almost crying here
[04:46] <b1t_sn1ff3r> why lol?
[04:46] <abhijit> newbie23, had you tried running orb in wine?
[04:47] <abhijit> !wine | newbie23
[04:47] <xissburg> because ubuntu fucked up my boot loader...
[04:47] <xissburg> I'm new to it
[04:47] <abhijit> !fixgrub | xissburg
[04:47] <xissburg> I just installed it through windows using Wubi

[04:47] <xangua> !language | xissburg
[04:47] <xissburg> sorry, I'm extremely angry...
[04:48] <abhijit> xissburg, join /j #anger
[04:48] <IdleOne> xissburg: I understand your frustration but if you do it again I will be forced to ban you.
[04:48] <abhijit> :P
[04:48] <bazhang> abhijit, that is not helpful
[04:48] <xissburg> note....I installed ubuntu using Wubi from Win7
[04:48] <abhijit> bazhang, sorry. just kidding.
[04:48] <newbie23> abhijit, orb does not work on wine, besides, it looks like Win7 is my only option. Apparently XBMC has a beta version which does DXVA2 video acceleration, so I dont need ubuntu for VDPAU or whatever
[04:48] <bazhang> abhijit, joking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:49] <abhijit> bazhang, ok
[04:49] <G1Bs0n> whats a good twitter client for ubuntu ?

[04:50] <babu__> how to install mysql
[04:50] <xissburg> I don't know what to do...I tried recovering the installation through windows CD but no success...
[04:50] <newbie23> abhijit, yeah, but it was too complicated
[04:50] <abhijit> newbie23, ohhhh
[04:50] <newbie23> abhijit, the interface scared my mum
[04:50] <bazhang> xissburg, the win7 dvd?
[04:50] <abhijit> newbie23, ohh :D
[04:50] <newbie23> abhijit, xbmc and boxee are nicer
[04:50] <abhijit> newbie23, then? use them?
[04:50] <xissburg> when I boot in my disc I only get 'error: unknown device"  . . .  and a command line 'grub rescue'
[04:51] <xissburg> bazhang: WinxP CD actually....I dont have Win7 CD
[04:51] <newbie23> abhijit, I am using xbmc already... I just wanted to be able to use my media on OTHER machines too
[04:51] <newbie23> thats what orb does
[04:51] <abhijit> newbie23, I see
[04:51] <xissburg> I have no idea about what could be done...
[04:51] <xissburg> nor about what is happening
[04:51] <babu__> how to install mysql
[04:51] <newbie23> I was looking into ubuntu because XBMC works better there... 1080p videos stutter a bit on Win7 on my hardware

[04:52] <abhijit> newbie23, ok
[04:52] <xissburg> I cant boot
[04:52] <brandoney> newbie23 - I had same issue with win7 xbmc and ubuntu works great on same machine.
[04:53] <gerald309> i have installed thru Wubi both desktop and notebook... no probs
[04:53] <xissburg> my friend too
[04:53] <gerald309> what screen do you get ?
[04:53] <babu__> i'm asking how to install mysql in my ubuntu...
[04:53] <newbie23> brandoney, yeah, but there is no linux version of orb
[04:53] <brandoney> newbie23 - I just mount remote computer then I can access files
[04:53] <xissburg> he recommended it to me....and this is what happened...I got to use it fine for a while
[04:53] <brandoney> ahh
[04:53] <gerald309> xiss.... what screen shows?
[04:53] <newbie23> brandoney, on your phone?

[04:54] <G1Bs0n> freebyron for the scoop
[04:54] <bazhang> G1Bs0n, ?
[04:54] <gerald309> do you know a little about BIOS and Windows ?

[04:54] <IdleOne> G1Bs0n: if you feel like random chat please go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:55] <abhijit> newbie23, this one? http://www.fluendo.com/  ??
[04:55] <brandoney> no
[04:55] <xissburg> gerald309: not much
[04:55] <xissburg> :(
[04:55] <gerald309> can you access Windows at all
[04:56] <xissburg> how?
[04:56] <xissburg> perhaps through a ubuntu CD
[04:56] <xissburg> I don't have one
[04:56] <gerald309> okay no screen for access
[04:56] <st__> xissburg, boot from live cd or windows cd
[04:56] <brandoney> You could run a vm on ubuntu then run orb
[04:56] <xissburg> from windows cd?
[04:56] <newbie23> abhijit, there is no trial version of that. I cant buy with without more information
[04:56] <xissburg> I tried windows CD
[04:56] <gerald309> The BIOS generally opens by tapping F10 onn start up
[04:56] <newbie23> brandoney, or I could run windows
[04:56] <st__> xissburg, so?
[04:56] <abhijit> newbie23, ok
[04:56] <xissburg> F10?
[04:57] <G1Bs0n> F111
[04:57] <newbie23> brandoney, since XBMC works there anyway without a VM
[04:57] <gerald309> this may enable ability to boot Windows - uninstall all Wubi and try again and check sys requiremetns
[04:57] <gerald309> windows 7 ?
[04:57] <xissburg> I don't know what to do on Windows CD
[04:57] <brandoney> I thought it had bad video under windows
[04:57] <xissburg> what is F10?
[04:57] <xissburg> Win7 yea
[04:57] <abhijit> newbie23, cant help further.  windows seems to be the only option now.
[04:57] <xissburg> I mean, what it does
[04:57] <gerald309> The keys up top F10
[04:57] <st__> xissburg, depends on version, but most likely you want repair
[04:57] <newbie23> brandoney, it does, but I am told the nightly version (downloading now) has DXVA2 acceleration
[04:57] <gerald309> like you tap F8 on start up to get to System Restore
[04:58] <newbie23> brandoney, all but some 1080p60 high bitrate files playback fine
[04:58] <st__> xissburg, then you'll be able to boot windows and invesgate further
[04:58] <xissburg> st__: repair, yea I got there but what I have to do there? I tired FIXBOOT, FIXMBR...
[04:58] <newbie23> brandoney, with dxva2 everything should work even better
[04:58] <gerald309> F10 should open the BIOS panel where you would run a recovery cd from
[04:58] <brandoney> newbie23 - Oh, mine is on all video and audio get's out of synch so win7 not option
[04:58] <xissburg> I only have a WinXP CD
[04:58] <xissburg> is it enough?
[04:59] <newbie23> brandoney, using XBMC?
[04:59] <st__> xissburg, if you would really tried fixboot or fixmbr, you wouldn't have 'grub rescue' prompt
[04:59] <abhijit> newbie23, if you have some time then i suggest you to submit this as a wishlist idea or bug to mythv or flumotion. so if they take it seriously we may have it on linux.
[04:59] <gerald309> the idea is to get windows back first
[04:59] <xissburg> well...actually, in my disk I have 2 partitons..one with Xp and other with 7
[04:59] <gerald309> ok
[04:59] <xissburg> st__: I did it. nothing changed
[04:59] <newbie23> abhijit, maybe, but I would rather they integrated it into XBMC which is what I use anyway :)
[05:00] <IdleOne> gerald309: since this convo is going towards windows support can you either move it to ##windows or go private please
[05:00] <gerald309> there may have been the grub pp up windows and "install now" - and yes absolutely (drivers included I believe)
[05:00] <abhijit> newbie23, yah xbmc will also do. you can submit idea/bug to xbmc no problem. but i suggest you do it
[05:00] <newbie23> abhijit, I am also going to try tversity on ubuntu under wine, maybe that works better than orb
[05:00] <unr3a1> fixworx, do "dmesg | grep floppy" or "dmesg | grep fd"
[05:00] <gerald309> did you miss that grub window ?
[05:00] <hiku> newbie23: tversity doesn't run well under wine...
[05:00] <xissburg> I go directly to grub rescue
[05:00] <xissburg>  I don't see anything else inbetween
[05:00] <hiku> newbie23: tried it already =(
[05:00] <abhijit> newbie23, yah but you submit idea. why i am telling you this is becaues i can also submit the idea. but you actually faced the problem so you can describe it well.
[05:00] <newbie23> hiku, doesnt run or doesnt run well?
[05:01] <gerald309> ok
[05:01] <st__> xissburg do you have 2 hds?
[05:01] <xissburg> one
[05:01] <newbie23> hiku, thanks for the heads up
[05:01] <xissburg> well, I have 2 but this other one is in *this* machine
[05:01] <hiku> newbie23: well, kinda both. install is tricky to get working... then it is very slugish compaired to my win7 media server
[05:01] <gerald309> checking some info....
[05:01] <newbie23> hiku, ok, I'll just stick to Win7 :)
[05:02] <xissburg> I tried moving this one to the other machine but it doesn't work because of different hardware
[05:02] <xissburg> newbie23: yea :)
[05:02] <hiku> newbie23: only thing I'll ever use windows for... win7 media server with netflicks and boxee plugin works great with 2 caputure cards for recording tv.
[05:02] <fixworx> unr3a1, i got some info from the second command you suggested
[05:02] <unr3a1> fixworx, pastebin it
[05:02] <gerald309> they are showing a solved situation at Ubuntu forums....

[05:03] <fixworx> http://pastebin.com/yvPPLe2r unr3a1
[05:03] <newbie23> hiku, Yeah thats what I thought about the linux media situation... thanks for your help
[05:04] <sacarlson> iggy_: did you try unplug and plug in again?
[05:04] <iggy_> yeah
[05:04] <hiku> newbie23:  np... though keep a look out, there are going to be alot of linux media servers that work great..
[05:04] <sacarlson> iggy_: reboot?
[05:04] <hiku> brb
[05:04] <gerald309> The wubi should have been automatic with the grub install situation
[05:04] <iggy_> i did several times ive been looking at forums ubuntu troubleshooting rebooting tons of time sacarlson
[05:04] <gerald309> it is loaded as software like windows
[05:05] <newbie23> hiku, it already works great for an HTPC, but not for streaming
[05:05] <gerald309> no partition
[05:05] <unr3a1> fixworx, one sec
[05:05] <sacarlson> iggy_: did you look at /var/log/system.log or other logs in there?
[05:05] <gerald309> is there any other things typed appearing in the black window ?
[05:05] <iggy_> i wouldnt know what to look for
[05:05] <gerald309> like an error message
[05:06] <xissburg> gerald309: first it shows
[05:06] <sacarlson> iggy_: grep for usb  or error
[05:06] <gerald309> just the grub message ?
[05:06] <Raynes> I was cleaning up my top panel, and I removed the update status thing that sits beside the red shut down button (this is on Lucid Lynx). When I did that, it removed the little red shut down button as well. Is there a way to get it back? I tried to find it in the "Add To" menu, but the only shut down applet I see isn't the right now.
[05:06] <akoimeexx> Hey all; I'm having trouble with networking on my desktop, and can't seem to solve the issue. Anyone up for helping?
[05:06] <xissburg> error: no such device <hex numbers>
[05:06] <unr3a1> fixworx, and disk isn't write protected?
[05:07] <xangua> !panels | Raynes
[05:07] <brandoney> newbie23 - orb looks cool but I'm not sure running it as a part of xbmc will be possible.  xbmc seems to already be at the limit of python, no multi-thread or error handling and all
[05:07] <xangua> or just add the 'indicator applet'
[05:07] <unr3a1> fixworx, also, verify you have permissions to the disk
[05:07] <fixworx> unr3a1, hmm it has been years since i've used a floppy disk. more than a decade actually. when a disk is write-protected, is the hole covered or open?
[05:07] <gerald309> it may be the partioning already that may cause a bug...
[05:07] <unr3a1> fixworx, covered
[05:07] <gerald309> got 2 hit the bricks....but....
[05:07] <fixworx> unr3a1, crap, the hole was covered
[05:08] <unr3a1> fixworx, wait...
[05:08] <Raynes> Eh, I don't want to reset the whole thing.
[05:08] <sacarlson> fixworx: write protect would be open
[05:08] <unr3a1> fixworx, its been a while for me to
[05:08] <fixworx> oh ok
[05:08] <unr3a1> fixworx, lol...
[05:08] <sacarlson> fixworx: that just shows my age
[05:08] <gerald309> i would guess your best move for now is to F10 BIOS and insert Windows CD Recovery....
[05:08] <gerald309> you have 2 much on one machine !
[05:08] <unr3a1> fixworx, yea, open.  make sure you have permissions to write to your fd0

[05:09] <gerald309> Hard disk memory
[05:09] <xissburg> actually 2, I installed ubuntu using Wubi
[05:09] <unr3a1> sacarlson, thanks for the correction. remembered it's like vhs.  you remove the tab to write protect the tape.
[05:09] <xissburg> oh 320 GB
[05:09] <gerald309> that is RAM memory
[05:09] <iggy_> sacarlson, there wasnt any errors
[05:09] <gerald309> ok plenty of HD
[05:09] <iggy_> it was blank
[05:10] <xissburg> its mostly empty
[05:10] <unr3a1> fixworx, and you are running this all as sudo, correct?
[05:10] <fixworx> mm i don't remember if Disk Utility asked me for my password or not
[05:10] <sacarlson> iggy_:  you mean the grep came back blank there must be something in there
[05:10] <xissburg> heey look this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1437840
[05:10] <iggy_> what is grep
[05:10] <gerald309> my guess - possible the already partitioned disk may have interfered / bug....
[05:11] <gerald309> I would try to get windows back through BIOS and then access internet for help again on a reinstall by Wubi....
[05:11] <fixworx> unr3a1, i think no, not running as su... disk utility doesn't ask me for password, goes ahead and tries to format the disk, the FDD light illuminates and everything...
[05:11] <gerald309> sorry not more help right now but gotta go !
[05:11] <dexikiix> Accidentally removed my trash can from task bar... can someone tell me how to get it back on?
[05:11] <gerald309> later.... good luck !
[05:12] <xissburg> thansk
[05:12] <sacarlson> iggy_: man grep
[05:12] <akoimeexx> Been having an issue with my desktop running 10.04 being able to ping outside servers for about three attempts after I establish a connection, then all network traffic stops. Other computers on the network are unaffected.
[05:12] <brandoney> xissburg - did you look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927392
[05:12] <sacarlson> iggy:  it does a string seach in all files
[05:13] <sacarlson>  iggy_ cd to /etc/log  and  grep -r usb *
[05:13] <gagzilla> does anyone know what's causing a popup to come up when I select a URL - it has options to 'Open with Firefox, Send URL, etc' on it
[05:13] <unr3a1> fixworx, did you mount fd0?
[05:13] <fixworx> unr3a1, when i click on it in Nautilius, nothing happens
[05:13] <xissburg> brandoney: I don't have a Win7 CD
[05:13] <hiku> gagzilla: did you install a firefox plugin recently?
[05:14] <xangua> gagzilla: an addon¿
[05:14] <unr3a1> fixworx, try mount
[05:14] <gagzilla> no it's not in firefox
[05:14] <fixworx> unr3a1, as a terminal command?
[05:14] <unr3a1> fixworx, yes
[05:14] <iggy_> i have log check but no log in etc
[05:14] <iggy_> sacarlson,
[05:14] <hiku> gagzilla: can you take a screenshot and paste it?
[05:14] <gagzilla> hiku: it's everywhere- even when I'm typing on in say opera
[05:14] <unr3a1> fixworx, mount /dev/fd0
[05:14] <fixworx> mount: can't find fd0 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab unr3a1
[05:14] <sacarlson> iggy_: oh sorry /var/log
[05:14] <hiku> gagzilla: hmm
[05:14] <unr3a1> fixworx, :P
[05:14] <sacarlson> iggy_:  brain fart
[05:14] <unr3a1> fixworx, I hate that error
[05:15] <fixworx> i hate all errors ;)
[05:15] <gagzilla> it disappears soon enough but annoyingly takes away focus from what I was typing
[05:15] <ellanceo> Is anyone able to help me with an OpenGL fullscreen scaling issue? I've been requesting help for about the last 2 years, and I just get ignored on the forums.  ;o)
[05:15] <akoimeexx> ellanceo: What's the problem?
[05:15] <newbie23> w00t, xbmc nightly fixes my issue ;)
[05:15] <iggy_> sacarlson, ok its searching
[05:15] <hiku> newbie23: nice =)
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> fixworx: http://justanotherwebblog.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/howto-use-floppy-in-ubuntu-810/
[05:16] <fixworx> unr3a1, mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified
[05:16] <sacarlson>  iggy_ cd to /var/log  and  grep -r usb *
[05:16] <unr3a1> channel, if fd0 is not in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab would that keep you from formatting a floppy diskette?
[05:16] <hiku> unr3a1: no
[05:16] <brandoney> newbie23 - nice for you.
[05:16] <fixworx> ActionParsnip, does that still apply to 10.04?
[05:16] <ellanceo> Akoimeexx: Whenever I use an emulator that uses OpenGL on fullscreen, about 1/5 of the bottom screen is cut off
[05:16] <brandoney> maybe I'll try win7 again, not.  I love my lucid
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> fixworx: fstab is fstab dude, it should fly
[05:17] <gagzilla> hiku: I can't quite take a screenshot since it disappears in a bit
[05:17] <ellanceo> akoimexx: I also have experienced the same issue with Diablo 1 under Wine
[05:17] <g00tux> hi room
[05:17] <fanzhen> hey
[05:17] <gagzilla> is there a utility on ubuntu that will take periodic screenshots?
[05:18] <ellanceo> gagzilla: try Shutter
[05:18] <gagzilla> ellanceo: thanks
[05:18] <iggy_> sacarlson, its just white
[05:18] <hiku> ellanceo: ty, couldn't think of the name
[05:18] <sacarlson> iggy_: what is white?  nothing?
[05:18] <Raynes> xangua: I managed to get it back. It was "Indicator Applet Session" or something similar. Weird name. :p Thanks for trying to help.
[05:18] <akoimeexx> ellanceo: on-board graphics or dedicated card? // Up-to-date drivers? (I'm sure you've been asked this before, if you've been looking for help for two years)
[05:18] <iggy_> sacarlson, like its waiting
[05:19] <sacarlson> iggy_: what command did you type?
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> gagzilla: you can cron a job to run: import `echo $(date)`
[05:19] <gagzilla> ellanceo: ugh... perl for a screenshot? 16MBof additional download required
[05:19] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: nvidia 7300go, latest nvidia drivers
[05:19] <iggy_> sacarlson, iggy@Iggys:/var/log$ grep -r usb
[05:19] <sacarlson> iggy_: your missing the "*" at the end  grep -r usb *
[05:20] <ellanceo> gagzilla: what is the issue? You don't have enough room for Shutter?
[05:20] <sacarlson> iggy_: ctl -c to stop
[05:20] <unr3a1> ActionParsnip, so it doesn't matter that the module isn't loaded in the kernel?
[05:20] <smw> is there a way to uninstall a metapackage and everything it installed?
[05:20] <gagzilla> ActionParsnip: no I really need it much faster than cron resolution- trying to capture a quick window that disappears
[05:20] <gnutun> hey all; im having trouble creating an initrd for my custom kernel, following the directions at wiki/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild; any ideas?
[05:20] <gagzilla> ellanceo: yeah I don't... but might make some space
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> gagzilla: it can run every second if yuo wish
[05:20] <ellanceo> gagzilla: sheesh, get a new HD?
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> unr3a1: you will need to add it in /etc/modules   to make it load
[05:21] <cannonfodder> hey you guys, do you know a power saving software for ubuntu?  i seen one calletd micromiser but i dont know if its legit since no one really mention i
[05:21] <gagzilla> ellanceo: eventually yeah :)
[05:21] <iggy_> sacarlson, a shit load
[05:21] <ellanceo> gagzilla: i just upgraded my 80GB to a 320GB. Feels  much roomier
[05:21] <unr3a1> fixworx, yes, make sure floppy is in /etc/modules
[05:21] <hiku> cannonfodder: the built-in power app doesnt work?
[05:21] <ActionParsnip> cannonfodder: use openbox+lxde instead of gnome+compiz
[05:21] <sacarlson> iggy_: any that look like wifi
[05:21] <gagzilla> ellanceo: nice
[05:22] <fixworx> bash: cd: /etc/modules/: Not a directory unr3a1
[05:22] <sacarlson> iggy_:  maybe d-link?
[05:22] <fixworx> o wait
[05:22] <unr3a1> fixworx, its not a directory
[05:22] <fixworx> derp
[05:22] <unr3a1> fixworx, its a file
[05:22] <hiku> fixworx: /etc/modules is a file
[05:22] <iggy_> sacarlson, http://pastebin.com/rPZegTXm
[05:22] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: any suggestions? I've found others with the same issue, but no luck on a solution. It's killing me. I really just want to play with my MSX emulator. =(
[05:22] <unr3a1> lol
[05:22] <ActionParsnip> fixworx: try: gksudo gedit /etc/modules    add the word: floppy   to the bottom
[05:22] <fixworx> yes, "floppy" is there in /etc/modules
[05:23] <unr3a1> ,,,
[05:23] <unr3a1> ...*
[05:23] <cannonfodder> hmm
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> fixworx: cool, then add the line in fstab and you are ok
[05:23] <akoimeexx> ellanceo: Poking around a bit to see what I can find... What version of the drivers?
[05:23] <fixworx> ActionParsnip, this line is in fstab: /dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
[05:23] <iggy_> you know the usb is blinking like its on its just not giving me internet or its not activated
[05:23] <gagzilla> yay... gnome-screenshot with a delay did the trick!
[05:23] <sparky> randome question can world of warcraft be played on linux?
[05:24] <xangua> !appdb | sparky
[05:24] <cast> sparky: probably
[05:24] <gagzilla> now where's a good place to post a screenshot to show here?
[05:24] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: 195.36.24
[05:24] <xangua> imagebin, imageshak gagzilla
[05:24] <smw> is there a way to uninstall a metapackage and everything it installed?
[05:24] <ellanceo> gagzilla: imageshack
[05:24] <unr3a1> fixworx, try a different disk?
[05:24] <fixworx> gagzilla, imgur.com
[05:24] <cheasee> gagzilla: 666kb.com
[05:24] <fixworx> unr3a1, on it
[05:24] <akoimeexx> ellanceo: Looks like you got a reply on your post as well. Still checking it out though.
[05:24] <xangua> smw: what metapackage¿
[05:24] <gagzilla> wow... thanks.
[05:24] <sparky> ok thanks all
[05:24] <sacarlson> iggy_: I see one  /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb2/2-3/2-3:1.0/net/wlan1 (net)
[05:24] <smw> xangua, kubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-netbook
[05:25] <xangua> !puregnome | smw
[05:25] <gerald309> xiss..... maybe cut a floppy disk with Grub... http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/4622/print
[05:25] <unr3a1> fixworx, it's working, or you are getting another disk?
[05:25] <gerald309> back
[05:25] <hiku> swm are you trying to remove those?
[05:25] <fixworx> unr3a1, trying another diskette
[05:25] <hiku> smw: sorry that was for you.
[05:25] <gerald309> did you like start clicking cancel during sinstallation ?
[05:25] <sacarlson> iggy_: I think we need to go private too much trafic here
[05:25] <iggy_> sacarlson, thank you wlan1 is the dlink  how can i fix it?ok how
[05:26] <fixworx> unr3a1, still fails. gives me the message Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/fd0: Input/output error
[05:26] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: yeah,  I already tried what he suggested, several times.
[05:26] <smw> xangua, that is not what I want, but it is close enough. thanks :-)
[05:26] <unr3a1> fixworx, that could be a bad disk, or a bad drivew
[05:26] <unr3a1> fixworx, drive*
[05:26] <hiku> smw: I just removed xubuntu-desktop and all the packages that came with it just fine. you can always use apt-cache search kubuntu to find the packages that don't remove if it happens.
[05:27] <gerald309> xiss.... do you have floppy drawer on desktop ? may be the magic bullet here
[05:27] <fixworx> unr3a1, yeah i wouldn't bet my life on this drive. it's old. i wonder if someplace like best buy even sells floppy disk drives anymore, or if the world has decided there are going to be enough drives to last the rest of time...
[05:27] <gagzilla> ok finally managed to take this screenshot- http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9113/clipe.png now how do I disable this annoying popup?
[05:27] <unr3a1> fixworx, you may be able to find a drive at a best buy, or try a computer repair store
[05:28] <hiku> fixworx: do you have a fry's near by... they carry them.
[05:28] <gerald309> i think xiss left....
[05:28] <fixworx> unr3a1, thanks for your help. i learned stuff. not absolutely critical that i make this work right now, i just haven't had a floppy drive around in a long long time and thought it would be fun to play with
[05:28] <fixworx> hiku, i keep hearing of this "frys" place but i've never seen one
[05:28] <gerald309> ouch on the bug !
[05:28] <hiku> fixworx: are you on the west coast cause there are tons here.
[05:28] <hiku> fixworx: ok well not tons...but alot.
[05:29] <unr3a1> fixworx, yea, np.  sorry I couldn't be more help.  unfortunately with I/O errors, it could even be a bad floppy controller or cable.
[05:29] <xangua> gagzilla: is that opera¿
[05:29] <gagzilla> xangua: the browser yes... but the popup is not specific to opera- shows up anytime I select any URL in any darn window
[05:29] <unr3a1> fixworx, if its a newer computer, make sure floppy is accessable in bios.  if motherboard is limiting floppy access, no OS would be able to use it.
[05:29] <fixworx> hiku, midwest. we don't even have CompUSA here anymore :[
[05:29] <Jordan_U> fixworx: Why are you trying to use a floppy disk?
[05:29] <gerald309> outta here
[05:29] <fixworx> Jordan_U, nostalgia
[05:29] <hiku> fixworx: ouch... you could also try newegg.com
[05:29] <xangua> no idea gagzilla
[05:30] <fixworx> unr3a1, this is a Gateway rackmount server from around 2002
[05:30] <brandoney> Here is a nice red floppy drive for you.  http://www.directron.com/mitsumibezelyl.html
[05:30] <gagzilla> xangua: thx anyway.
[05:30] <hiku> brandoney: =)
[05:30] <unr3a1> fixworx, :\
[05:30] <gagzilla> anyone else know what's causing this popup to show up in Ubuntu when I select  a URL- http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/9113/clipe.png
[05:30] <thune3> gagzilla: this is 10.04?
[05:30] <fixworx> brandoney, ooh mahogany.
[05:31] <gagzilla> thune3: yes
[05:31] <brandoney> fixworx - yeah nice.
[05:31] <brandoney> I just bought one
[05:31] <brandoney> $8 but they are local for me
[05:31] <fixworx> haha
[05:31] <fixworx> ah
[05:31] <akoimeexx> ellanceo: Found more bug reports on the issue, albeit older: looks like some people had reported this as a combination of xserver/opengl.
[05:31] <unr3a1> fixworx, if you wanted to make sure it's not a bad floppy you could put it into a Windows XP machine and see if XP can write to it.
[05:31] <[thor]> derr
[05:32] <fixworx> i'll throw a fdd on my next newegg order
[05:32] <distant2> what's the diff between a fs journal and log-structure?
[05:32] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: It's obviously an OpenGL scaling issue that is probably stemming from my drivers or xorg.conf file. I checked xorg.conf today and found it is incredibly empty, but I also read that after 10.04 xorg.conf is handled differently?
[05:32] <fixworx> unr3a1, my only other machine here runs OS X and i don't trust its ability to do anything with floppy disks
[05:32] <unr3a1> fixworx, lol.. yea.
[05:33] <fixworx> Apple hasn't shipped a floppy disk drive since 1997 or so
[05:33] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: Yeah, I'm really not sure how to go about fixing it, but after 2 years, this has gone on long enough
[05:33] <unr3a1> crazy
[05:33] <unr3a1> well, sorry I couldn't be more help
[05:33] <unr3a1> but I g/g
[05:33] <unr3a1> work tomorrow
[05:33] <fixworx> unr3a1, hey mate no worries. i'd be more upset if this were an important problem ;)
[05:33] <fixworx> cheers
[05:33] <unr3a1> laterz
[05:34] <brandoney> I still have my dyson ds-dd 5.25" drive for an apple IIe if you want to try it.  ;-)
[05:35] <hiku> brandoney: oh wow... =)
[05:36] <smw> xangua, ty. It only did minimal collateral damage :-). All I need to do is reinstall kdegames and skype
[05:36] <thune3> gagzilla: i'm having trouble finding anything, did you install a clipboard handling application of some kind?
[05:37] <akoimeexx> ellanceo: are you getting anything in your log file?
[05:37] <smw> xangua, oops, it also got vlc :-\
[05:38] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: Haha, which one? I never check logs. I'm a bad linux user, very bad
[05:41] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: Which log file should I check?
[05:42] <brandoney> hiku - yeah, sad thing is I'm older than that floppy drive.
[05:43] <realeyes> can someone help me out?
[05:45] <TrentonAdams> hi guys.  I can't boot my ubuntu system without it dropping to a shell.  I tried to enable raid myself.  The raid works fine, booting automatically does not.  When I drop to a shell, I assemble the raid devices, and exit the shell, and everything boots normally.  What am I missing?
[05:45] <amitesh>  /nick amiubi
[05:45] <rww> ubottu: ask | realeyes
[05:45] <realeyes> my sensors arent working
[05:46] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: You probably need to run "sudo update-grub"
[05:46] <akoimeexx> ellanceo: Trying to find, couldn't tell you offhand as I'm in clie mode on a piddly little netbook at the moment. Desktop's having... issues.
[05:46] <rww> realeyes: sensors as in hardware temperature sensors?
[05:46] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: you again, perfect! :D  I did that, as per our last conversation.
[05:46] <realeyes> yes
[05:46] <rww> realeyes: have you installed and configured lm-sensors correctly, per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto ?
[05:46] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I also re-installed grub on the mbr, but no go.
[05:46] <realeyes> i already ran the install command and went through the detect
[05:47] <realeyes> alright let me go through this...
[05:47] <realeyes> thx
[05:47] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Did you also run "sudo update-initramfs -ck all" ?
[05:48] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Um, I did "-u" which updated my main kernel ramfs.
[05:48] <realeyes> Next, run "sudo /etc/init.d/module-init-tools restart". This will read the changes you made to /etc/modules in step 3, and insert the new modules into the kernel.  <<< on this step I get errors, should I pastebin them?
[05:48] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: Well thank you very much for taking the time to help, glad to see someone cares. =)
[05:48] <rww> realeyes: yes
[05:48] <justin__> hello
[05:48] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I guess the -c makes a new one.  Is that needed if I didn't install with raid?
[05:49] <realeyes> http://pastebin.org/481395
[05:49] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: as in, install ubuntu with raid.  Cause I did raid after installation, not during.
[05:49] <rww> realeyes: that's expected, albeit annoying
[05:49] <_genuser_> Hello People
[05:49]  * rww mutters things about Upstart
[05:49] <realeyes> rww: what is it? :P
[05:50] <realeyes> it's ... not working, is it?
[05:50] <rww> realeyes: replacement for the /etc/init.d/ system. Lucid switched over fully to it, except they didn't bother converting all the initscripts in universe
[05:50] <realeyes> ;/
[05:50] <akoimeexx> ellanceo: Yeah, sorry I can't find out any more about it.... I would think errors would show up in Xorg.0.log or equiv. But nothing pointing here in my own files.
[05:50] <realeyes> so ... im screwed...
[05:50] <realeyes> this is why my conky wont show temp...
[05:51] <rww> realeyes: restarting your computer should be equivalent to that step, albeit more drastic
[05:51] <realeyes> what about logging out and then back in?
[05:51] <rww> no
[05:51] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I'm going to reboot, just ran the update-initramfs -ck all
[05:52] <realeyes> :/
[05:52] <justin__> hey realeyes! im installing conky now cuz i switched from debian to xubuntu 10.04, my friend said it was a desktop monitor or something but whats it like?
[05:53] <jamiewan> conky is great
[05:53] <realeyes> hard as hell to configure...
[05:53] <jamiewan> easy
[05:53] <justin__> not really, seems easy to me
[05:53] <Julywolf> How can I go to Ubuntu-cn?
[05:53] <rww> Julywolf: type /join #ubuntu-cn
[05:54] <ellanceo> akoimeexx: Alright, I'll see what i can see. Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate it.
[05:54] <akoimeexx> justin__: It's not bad... even got it working on Netbook Edition to show on the desktop. Just wish it'd stay there. :[
[05:54] <Julywolf> thanks,rww
[05:55] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: update-initramfs -ck all did not change anything for me.  It still will not put without manually assembly the raid devices.
[05:55] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: s/put/boot/g
[05:56] <justin__> ok well if possible can somebosy email me thier conky config file for me to use? i really dont like configuring it, i had my friend do it on debian bc i didnt know how but i wanna see ur guyses  configs
[05:56] <akoimeexx> So, anyone? Been having network issues as of late: My desktop system connects and obtains an IP address, then stops being able to send or receive network traffic after a few seconds.
[05:56] <sanjay> hey guys, I need some help. I am using Maverick Alpha3. After updating packages last night, my network-manager broke. Nm-applet is disabled all the time and I can't seem to enable it.
[05:56] <iggy_> sacarlson, your a genious
[05:56] <iggy_> if you were a woman id kiss you
[05:56] <sacarlson> iggy_: cool

[06:03] <realeyes> Can anyone tell me what commands are running in the top left of this screenshot? http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=17956&d=1161470797
[06:03] <cast> amitesh: then maybe you shouldn't use linux for that
[06:03] <amitesh> i have installed squid
[06:03] <abhijit> !manual | amitesh
[06:04] <abhijit> !squid | amitesh
[06:04] <amitesh> Cast: why?
[06:04] <tricktrick> i want a command in terminal for change my ip somebody can help me
[06:04] <tricktrick> ?
[06:05] <cast> amitesh: because you don't know much about it.
[06:05] <amitesh> i am using ccproxy on windows........is there anything for linux
[06:06] <akoimeexx> Still having issues with my desktop system flaking out when connecting to a wireless network... anyone?
[06:08] <amitesh> i need to connect my desktop and my brother's lappi with my system ........and i don't want to switch back to windows
[06:08] <amitesh> cast:can u tell me how one can learn(know) without using the same thing?
[06:08] <justin__> whats the terminal command to open the conky config file
[06:08] <cast> amitesh: read a book.
[06:08] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, how are you connected to wireless? is it USB or PCI?
[06:09] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: USB. I can establish a connection, obtain an ip address, then ping google (or other site) about three times before it stops transmitting/receiving data
[06:09] <abhijit> amitesh, try teamviewer
[06:09] <justin__> what is the terminal command to configure conkys appearance?
[06:10] <akoimeexx> But I still retain an ip address.
[06:10] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, pastebin your lsusb output with the USB dongle
[06:10] <akoimeexx> justin__: vim ~/.conkyrc
[06:10] <abhijit> amitesh, first tre teamviwer. if thats not you are looking for then see tihs https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Vinagre
[06:10] <abhijit> amitesh, to get teamviwer go here: http://www.teamviewer.com/download/index.aspx
[06:10] <akoimeexx> It'll be a sec, have to transfer it from desktop to netbook. =p
[06:11] <Jordan_U> akoimeexx: It's probably better to suggest nano instead of vim for new users.
[06:11] <akoimeexx> Jordan_U: Fair enough.
[06:11] <amitesh> abhijit:thnx
[06:12] <abhijit> amitesh, in teamviwer you dont need to do any settings or configuration. its so simple = start teamviwer in both computer>you enter your brothers ip and passwod > and connect. thats it
[06:16] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: You still around?
[06:17] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Yes.
[06:17] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: http://pastebin.org/481444
[06:17] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: So my system still won't automatically boot, after update-initramfs -ck all
[06:18] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[06:18] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, and you're using the latest ubuntu?
[06:19] <abhijit> :(
[06:19] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: Yep.
[06:19] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, pastebin your dmesg output
[06:19] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: Not sure why it's failing, I've used this dongle before with no trouble.
[06:20] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, it could be issue with the driver I'm thinking, which might be solved with using linux-backports
[06:20] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/ryS7hAn8
[06:21] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: I'll grab that dmesg and pastebin it then... Half a mo'.
[06:21] <skandar> i have a huawei e1552 hsdpa usb stick. When I plug it in, ubuntu doesn't recognize. There are no messages in the system log either
[06:21] <skandar> this is 10.04 32bit
[06:21] <abhijit> !hardware | skandar
[06:21] <jenue> hi guys, can any virus penetrate ubuntu?
[06:21] <abhijit> !virus | jenue
[06:22] <skandar> Shouldn't it show on the system log when I plug it in though?
[06:22] <richthegeek> hi - does anyone know of a screensaver that dims the screens (desktop, CRT, nvidia), or of a terminal proggy that does this gracefully?
[06:22] <skandar> When I plug the usb stick in, there are no messages from the shell, and ntohing from the system log
[06:22] <The_Janitor> hi guys
[06:22] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Yeah, doesn't seem like anything abornmal in dmesg, eh?
[06:23] <psycho_oreos> skandar, it may show up when you do lsusb
[06:23] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Other than you using reiserfs :)
[06:23] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: lol
[06:24] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Why is that abnormal?
[06:24] <The_Janitor> i have a question, i am trying to install a login theme. i have installed a minimal install of ubuntu with gdm, gnome-core and xorg, nothing else. but when i go to system > art manager, the install button is greyed out. am i missing a package?
[06:24] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: http://pastebin.org/481459
[06:24] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Because reiserfs has been dying ever since Hans Reiser was convicted.
[06:25] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: It is reporting the correct mac address, just blotted that bit out.
[06:25] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, which driver are you using on the desktop? rt2x00?
[06:25] <The_Janitor> any ideas?
[06:26]  * scriptwarlock waves
[06:26] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: Not sure offhand, what's the best way to check?
[06:26] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, lsmod| grep rt2x00
[06:26] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: WOW, had no idea.
[06:26] <psycho_oreos> !hi | scriptwarlock
[06:27] <chilicuil> how do I upgrade to ubuntu maverick from the console?
[06:27] <psycho_oreos> !maverick | chilicuil
[06:27] <scriptwarlock> thanks ubottu i know your not intelligent :)
[06:27] <psycho_oreos> !private | jinxzs
[06:28] <chilicuil> psycho_oreos: I know it's stable, I just wanna test it
[06:28] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: Looks like it.
[06:28] <chilicuil> it's not*
[06:28] <psycho_oreos> chilicuil, ask in #ubuntu+1
[06:28] <chilicuil> psycho_oreos: ok, thx
[06:28] <The_Janitor> guys    do i need compiz to handle login themes or what?
[06:28] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, so the command line says there's rt2x00? hmm ok I'd try linux-backports
[06:29] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: So, is there anything else I should look at, to get this working?
[06:30] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Are there any error messages before you're dropped to a busybox shell?
[06:30] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: Where can I grab the package I need so I can install it locally on that machine? (No net access otherwise for the desktop.)
[06:30] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I don't recall any.  All I recall it says is that it couldn't find the root file system, and was dropping to a shell.
[06:31] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: "mdadm --assemble --scan" doesn't work either though.  I have to "mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3"
[06:31] <skandar> it doesn't show up in lsusb, and Vista doesn't even recognize it is plugged in either. Does that mean it is bad hardware?
[06:31] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, I believe its from the ubuntu repository but it may have dependencies in which you'll need to grab as well, its probably a good idea to physically connect your desktop to the router via wired
[06:32] <psycho_oreos> skandar, are you doing this through virtual machine or something?
[06:32] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: That's the problem. Bad eth port on the hardware.
[06:32] <akoimeexx> (Evil dependencies.)
[06:33] <The_Janitor> guys!
[06:33] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, well I don't have much other suggestions :) a wired network card costs almost like nothing, maybe a good idea to invest in one
[06:34] <akoimeexx> psycho_oreos: Thanks for helping with troubleshooting the cause. :)
[06:34] <justin__> just set up conky anyone wanna see my screenshot im posting it in a few seconds
[06:34] <psycho_oreos> akoimeexx, the other is to downgrade I suppose, its probably an issue with kernel afaik
[06:35] <scriptwarlock> justin__: is there something new on your conk?
[06:35] <Poul|Raider> Hello, i have eth0 interface with inet connection which response correctly to ping requests. But i get distination host unavalible if i try to ping the ip of my ppp0 interface? Is this standart, shouldnt it be posible to get response from both interface at the same time
[06:35] <thune3> i'm on 9.10, even so system>art manager sounds weird. But plymouth handles login theme for ubuntu, compiz has nothing to do with it.
[06:35] <justin__> no i just finished setting it up for the first time and i think it looks very nice
[06:36] <thune3> The_Janitor: back two ^
[06:36] <scriptwarlock> justin__: well congrats but any concerns regarding ubuntu?
[06:36] <crucialhoax> Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook I plugged in a wireless mouse and kbd and now my touchpad doesnt work. Suggestions?
[06:37] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Are you here for much longer?  I'm going to reboot again so I can see if I can get all th messages that come up
[06:37] <justin__> no not really why?
[06:37] <akoimeexx> crucialhoax: Check to make sure it isn't disabled in your System > Mouse preferences.
[06:37] <dr3mro> any one here facing problems with google chrome on ubuntu 10.04 loading gmail ?? if you can load it please say yes
[06:38] <kryten107> Hi, when trying to open sound preferences, I get "waiting for sound system to respond" and I have 2 processes taking up "n/a" amount of memory whose pids keep counting upwards. any advice for this craziness?
[06:38] <crucialhoax> akoimeexx, Everything is good. I even checked the hardware switch (Fn+F7)..
[06:38] <crucialhoax> akoimeexx, Im not sure whether it was the mouse or recent updates. I want to say the mouse did
[06:40] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: I'll be in and out for a while.
[06:40] <kryten107> and they have no name.
[06:42] <The_Janitor> thune3, what? :P
[06:43] <The_Janitor> plymouth you say eh?
[06:43] <The_Janitor> sec
[06:43] <scriptwarlock> dr3emro: yes
[06:44] <crucialhoax> Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook I plugged in a wireless mouse and kbd and now my touchpad doesnt work. Suggestions?
[06:45] <rhonda_> hi, i am new to linux....how do i mount cd rom in linux?
[06:46] <psycho_oreos> rhonda_, sudo mount /media/cdrom
[06:47] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: All it says is "ALERT! /dev/mapper/sys-ubuntu does not exist. Dropping to a shell."  sys-ubuntu is my lvm
[06:47] <zcat[1]> usually you just put the cd in the drive...
[06:47] <rhonda_> can't find /media/cdrom in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[06:47] <rhonda_> is what i get?
[06:47] <zcat[1]> Ttry going to places > computer and clicking the cd drive?
[06:48] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: So, I don't know if it doesn't know how to load lvm stuff, with raid, or what.  I vaguely recall reading something about ubuntu having problems in that area in the past, but I thought that was resolved.
[06:48] <Flannel> TrentonAdams: sys being the vg and ubuntu being the lv?
[06:48] <TrentonAdams> Flannel: yes
[06:48] <Flannel> TrentonAdams: The only special thing you need (and GRUB2 may not have this requirement) is you need /boot off of LVM
[06:49] <TrentonAdams> Flannel: /boot is it's on /dev/md0
[06:49] <TrentonAdams> Flannel: on it's own I mean, in it's own raid.
[06:49] <TrentonAdams> Flannel: mirror
[06:49] <sacarlson> rhonda_: normally when I stick a cd in my drive it auto opens nautilus with the contents seen in the window
[06:49] <MattWB> Hi, if I manage to 'break' sudo... due to a syntax error in /etc/sudoers... how can I get root to edit /etc/sudoers to fix the syntax error (http://pastebin.com/61Y6hNAZ)
[06:49] <TrentonAdams> Flannel: And grub2 was setup with /dev/md0, which starts the boot process just fine.
[06:50] <rhonda_> it seems it is not seeing the cd rom?
[06:50] <gewt> hi MattWB!
[06:50] <chazz> MattWB: go in via a livecd or something
[06:50] <chazz> MattWB: fix sudoers
[06:50] <chazz> MattWB: reboot.
[06:50] <sacarlson> rhonda_: did you try more than one cd?  if the cd is not readable it won't open.  try others.  try another driver if you have one.
[06:51] <chazz> MattWB: either that, or just give up, cry, and reinstall. :)
[06:51] <zcat[1]> driver >> drive ?
[06:51] <rww> MattWB: 1) this is why you should have been running "sudo visudo" instead of editing sudoers directly; it checks for syntax problems. 2) reboot, hold down shift to get to GRUB prompt, start a rescue instance, and edit as root from there. or, grab a liveCD, mount your hard disk, and edit it.
[06:51] <sacarlson> rhonda_: that was suposed to be drive  try another drive
[06:51] <gewt> chyou forget 'take shotgun to motherboard'
[06:51] <gewt> chazz*
[06:51] <chazz> gewt: oh yes. Shooting the motherboard is highly important!
[06:52] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U:Should i put an "mdadm --assemble" shell script in "/etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount"???
[06:52] <gewt> rww: can't he append init=/bin/bash to the kernel line in GRUB as well?
[06:52] <gewt> wait.
[06:52] <crucialhoax> Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook I plugged in a wireless mouse and kbd and now my touchpad doesnt work. Suggestions?
[06:52] <gewt> that's what rescue does, doesn't it?
[06:52] <rww> gewt: that would also do it, yes. there are various ways of getting single-user mode
[06:52] <TrentonAdams> crucialhoax: unplug them and it will work again I think.
[06:53] <crucialhoax> TrentonAdams: Already tried that and it doesnt work..
[06:53] <zcat[1]> rhonda_, lshw | grep cd  should show some possible cd devices
[06:53] <rww> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword lists them both, in the context of resetting passwords, but it's a similar idea (in both cases, you need root and can't get it from a normal system)
[06:54] <adub> anyone in here really good with zoneminder i have the app running fine but having trouble bringing in video wondering if someone can help me troubleshoot?
[06:54] <rhonda_> got it., ty
[06:54] <seyfarth> how come I can't drag windows between workspaces since upgrading to 10.04?
[06:55] <yy> 测试
[06:55] <zcat[1]> Although a friend of mine has a laptop, and since upgrading (by fresh install) to 10.04 his CD drive simply doesn't appear. no /dev/cdrom or whatever, no cd in /media .. and he can play dvd's in VLC but they start getting jerky after 30 seconds.
[06:55] <zcat[1]> the drive is obviously working since he installed FROM it....
[06:56] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Try adding the "rootwait" kernel parameter, if that doesn't help then yes, adding a manual mdadm --assemble will probably work, but it's a bit ugly and shouln't be needed.
[06:56] <gewt> zcat[1]: bad drive maybe?
[06:56] <gewt> zcat[1]: lose cable?
[06:56] <gewt> bad disc?
[06:56] <zcat[1]> gewt, he installed from the same drive....?
[06:56] <gewt> zcat[1]: bad disc then?
[06:56] <zcat[1]> it'll boot a live cd fine, pass the disk self test, etc..
[06:56] <Jordan_U> zcat[1]: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[06:57] <gewt> and what Jordan_U said
[06:57] <zcat[1]> Jordan_U, can't.. he's not here ;)
[06:57] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: k, I'll try that rootwait.  gentoo linux had something like that, which I think I needed to get raid working.  I had forgotten about that, and never thought to search google for that. lol.  So, how do I get that to survive update-grub?
[06:58] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Add it to /etc/default/grub
[06:58] <luis> salut
[06:58] <luis> allo
[06:58] <zcat[1]> we spent ages trying to figure out what the problem was, I can't really remember what was in dmesg though.
[06:58] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: perfect, thanks.  I'll let you know how it goes.
[06:58] <luis> hello
[06:58] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: You're welcome.
[06:59] <crucialhoax> Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook I plugged in a wireless mouse and kbd and now my touchpad doesnt work. Suggestions?
[07:00] <gewt> crucialhoax: reboot
[07:00] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: did you try lsusb and see if you can see the device.  I asume it's usb
[07:01] <kanen> How do I find the offset in a .iso for the second partition in that iso so I can mount only the second partition as a loopback device?
[07:01] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: I did a "sudo tpconfig -D" and the system recognizes it as a Synaptics device.
[07:01] <sacarlson> kanen: as far as I know iso file is just one partition
[07:01] <rajatkhanduja> I would like to mount all my hard-disk partitions at boot...what are the commands that i need to add to the *startup applications*
[07:01] <crucialhoax> gewt: Already tried to no avail
[07:02] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: If I tap Fn+F7 really fast and rub the touchpad it moves the cursor a little bit lol
[07:03] <rajatkhanduja> @crucialhoax  : can u give some system details!
[07:03] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: no idea conflict with your other device?  maybe you have more than one pointing device
[07:03] <crucialhoax> rajatkhanduja: Ubuntu 10.04  Desktop, X86, acer 532h netbook
[07:03] <kanen> sacarlson: I have an iso that came from a DVD and it is two partitions.
[07:03] <robert__> hi i just converted to julinux8 i think its awsome how ever im haveing a problem see im a windows user. and i want to install league of legends its a new game thats been out for wile a ftp
[07:03] <robert__> can some one help me when you got moment
[07:04] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: It has worked for over a year... Just last night it started this behavior
[07:04] <sacarlson> kanen: oh never used a dvd iso only cd's
[07:04] <rajatkhanduja> crucialhoax: under Preferences... go to Mouse...and check under touchpad
[07:04] <crucialhoax> rajatkhanduja: Already been done everything is enabled, the settings were never touched.
[07:05] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: No go, rootwait=10 and same result
[07:05] <InverS> robert, is there a *nix version of the game?
[07:05] <rww> robert__: This channel is for Ubuntu Linux support. "julinux8" is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu; please ask your distributor for support.
[07:05] <robert__> no
[07:05] <robert__> whats that any way
[07:06] <InverS> you can't necessary play a PC game on a unix based OS
[07:06] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: well you didn't install any software since it fails so maybe just create another user account and login to it and see if the device works in that account
[07:06] <InverS> and this channel is for Ubuntu support :)
[07:06]  * InverS has just upgraded to 10.0.4
[07:07] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: Actually, there was a batch of updates that hit, one being an acpi update, not sure if it was that or the mouse :(
[07:08] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: It should either be "rootdelay=10" or "rootwait", not "rootwait=10"
[07:08] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: rootwait basically waits untill the root device is ready, with no timeout.
[07:08] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Yeah, I started with rootwait first, and thought that might be wrong, so manually edited on the boot menu
[07:08] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: there you go maybe update broke it.  that's why I never update unless it's already broken
[07:09] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: rootwait didn't "keep" waiting indefinitely.  It eventually dropped to shell.
[07:09] <jfzl> ?
[07:09] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: But i wouldnt have known? after the update it still worked.. So thats why Im assuming this mouse changed something :(
[07:09] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: What scripts should I check on my system, that the initramfs uses, to see what might be happening?
[07:10] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: maybe it's the mouse.  they take battieries you know
[07:10] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: ?
[07:11] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: you said wirless
[07:11] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: Im goin to try a new user account Ill be right bak, will you still be here?
[07:11] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: No my touchpad is broken..
[07:11] <sacarlson> maybe
[07:11] <sacarlson> oh
[07:11] <crucialhoax> yea haha

[07:17] <the_wench2> I just want to see my cronjobs
[07:17] <tanath> help: trying to check HDD for bad sectors, but it says the disk is in use. it's not mounted, and ps turns up nothing
[07:17] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: oh it's a laptop make sure you didn't turn off the device with the botton near the touch pad
[07:17] <tanath> rajatkhanduja, use pastebin
[07:18] <rajatkhanduja> tanath, it is not in fstab..but when I'm able to mount using the GUI.
[07:18] <rajatkhanduja> tanath, sry for the pasting
[07:18] <tanath> mhm
[07:18] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: sometimes the touchpad interfers with operation so they have a botton the disables it.  i think there is normaly a light near it showing active
[07:18] <rajatkhanduja> tanath, should I add it to fstab!
[07:18] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: I didnt.. Its enabled. even the buttons dont work, the left nor right click
[07:19] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: well it's broke get a mouse and plug it in
[07:19] <tanath> rajatkhanduja, /dev/sda1 should be your root...
[07:19] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: How can you believe its broken? lol
[07:19] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: try boot a live cd and see if it works with that also try older live boots if you have them
[07:19] <rajatkhanduja> tanath, /dev/sda is the root ... I'm using a dual boot system. and /dev/sda1 refers to the Windows primary partition
[07:20] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: I was just thinking that. alright.
[07:20] <paranoidphreak> hi everybody, i have an ipod touch and i have tried banshee and rhythmbox to try to move music on the device but it doesn't seem to list the device in any of those apps but the device icon is shown on the desktop and i'm able to browse it, any thoughts?
[07:20] <sacarlson> crucialhoax: because it's not working there for we call that broke
[07:20] <the_wench2> sacarlson: ?
[07:20] <atude> Hi, I'd like to have my volume buttons(Fn+F10/F11) work on my netbook in gnome. How should I go about doing this?
[07:20] <sacarlson> the_wench2: make your question clear
[07:20] <the_wench2> sacarlson:
[07:20] <the_wench2> I have a cronentry
[07:20] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: It does work, just when I hit Fn+F7 extremely fast haha
[07:20] <crucialhoax> sacarlson: brb
[07:20] <the_wench2> that executes a php script every min
[07:21] <sacarlson> the_wench2: yes that's my name don't ware it out
[07:21] <the_wench2> now that php script takes variable time everyti,e
[07:21] <the_wench2> so I want to see in the command line
[07:21] <the_wench2> how many cronjobs are running atm
[07:22] <tanath> rajatkhanduja, here we go: http://www.hackourlives.com/auto-mount-windows-partitions-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid/
[07:22] <sacarlson> the_wench2: how many are running or how many have run?
[07:22] <the_wench2> how many ARE running :)
[07:22] <tanath> help: trying to check HDD for bad sectors, but it says the disk is in use. it's not mounted, and ps turns up nothing
[07:22] <the_wench2> I don't care about how many have run :P
[07:22] <sacarlson> the_wench2: the ps -A will give you all the process that are running count the number that match the name of you program you run in cron
[07:23] <peppo> hi. is anyone else having massive performance problems with Flash since latest couple upgrades in 9.10?
[07:23] <the_wench2> lol
[07:23] <the_wench2> wait let me show you was ps -A shows :P
[07:23] <the_wench2> sacarlson: http://pastie.org/private/lylkncziqqwl7cjbnig6tw
[07:23] <sacarlson> the_wench2: please use pastebin if you do
[07:24] <the_wench2> :-/
[07:24] <the_wench2> this is a pastebin only bud
[07:24] <tanath> as far as i can tell, nothing is using the HDD, but the scanning tools say otherwise and won't work.
[07:24] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I think I've figured it out.  I'm going to fix it and reboot.  After looking at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mdadm I noticed it's just using the config, which for whatever reason won't let it auto detect them.
[07:25] <TrentonAdams> So, if I change my mdadm.conf to be setup properly for my system, it'll probably just work.
[07:25] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: ^^
[07:25] <sacarlson> the_wench2: so what should I be looking for?
[07:25] <sacarlson> the_wench2: I don't see any wget that was in your last cron
[07:26] <the_wench2> well
[07:26] <the_wench2> if a cron is running
[07:26] <sacarlson> the_wench2: so the answer is none
[07:26] <the_wench2> what should I search for in this list? :P
[07:26] <the_wench2> wget ?
[07:26] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I would bet that is what the install does, and since I did it after the fact, the update-initramfs wouldn't work unless I have it setup correctly.  Is that right?
[07:26] <sacarlson> the_wench2: yes but your cron was programed to run only every 10 min
[07:26] <TrentonAdams> The mdadm hook file is for initramfs setup, i.e. not a booting hook, right?
[07:26] <rajatkhanduja> tanath, isn't there any way to do it using the cmd line...just curious
[07:26] <the_wench2> I changed that to 1 min for beta testing, as its really frustrating to add on data from backend and then wait for 10 mins for the cron to run heh
[07:27] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Sounds reasonable, though I haven't done much with raid myself.
[07:27] <sacarlson> the_wench2: I don't know you wrote the cron not me.  what's in the crontab that you think should be running
[07:27] <tanath> rajatkhanduja, of course. most prefer GUI though. you could configure things manually, but that way is faster
[07:28] <Lizzard88> Q: how do i dual boot? Ive already installed Xp on one drive and ubuntu on the other
[07:28] <the_wench2> sacarlson: ok, so basically if a cron is running, I would see wget in ps -A , right ?
[07:28] <tanath> Lizzard88, you'll have to install grub on the drive being booted to be able to choose your OS on boot
[07:28] <Lizzard88> grub?
[07:29] <tanath> Lizzard88, grub is a bootloader. you can google some guides
[07:29] <sacarlson> the_wench2: I'm asuming you are working on the same crontab you showed me before that you ran wget yes then you would see wget as one or more proccess in ps -A,  try a big file to verify I'm correct
[07:29] <jinxzs> !grub | Lizzard88
[07:30] <the_wench2> sacarlson: yeah ,its the same, thanks!
[07:30] <rajatkhanduja> tanath, can u pls guide me as to what all I might need to tinker with....which all files .. like /etc/fstab
[07:30] <sacarlson> the_wench2: and no if cron is running you won't see wget.  only the time that wget is running will you see it
[07:30] <Wingless> This question is only tangentially related to Unbuntu, but: is there a way to have vim wrap words in a way that doesn't cut words off in the middle?  Like, if a word gets wrapped, then move the entire word to the next line.  I don't want vim to actually insert newlines into the file; I just want it to display the text using an intelligent word-wrap.
[07:30] <the_wench2> I c
[07:30] <tanath> rajatkhanduja, don't really have time, sorry. brush up on your google-fu :P
[07:31] <tanath> rajatkhanduja, good luck
[07:31] <rajatkhanduja> tanath, thank for the help...well I've tried a lot on google..couldn't get much help
[07:31] <sacarlson> Wingless: try gedit that's my fav editor
[07:31] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: yay, it worked.
[07:31] <Flannel> Wingless: :set wrap :set linebreak :set nolist
[07:31] <sacarlson> Wingless: it can wrap
[07:32] <rypervenche> Hi everyone.
[07:32] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Congratulations.
[07:32] <rypervenche> I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux.
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Nano and leafpad here, gedit is so slow
[07:32] <minh> hello...I need help on a OCR-related topic: I need to "read" hundreds of scanned business-cards...can anyone point me to a good programm to do the trick?
[07:33] <jinxzs_> #phubuntu
[07:33] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: gedit slow?  to start?  I'm slow too so we match
[07:33] <atude> but, how do you make your screen like this? I tried to set the hot key but the Fn+<any key> combination is not read at all...
[07:33] <rypervenche> I have a question about about Ubuntu, if anyone is available to help.
[07:33] <Lizzard88> Im reading the guide about grub2, but i don't see how to make it run before my default operation system starts up
[07:33] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: I'm going to udpate the update-initramfs script to add an option for auto generating mdadm.conf from your currently running arrays.
[07:34] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Probably stick another config option in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/mdadm
[07:34] <atude> I'd like to have my volume buttons(Fn+F10/F11) work on my netbook in gnome.
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: leafpad is much lighter, gedit has a lot of plugins for highlighting which I don't find necessary for conf file edits
[07:34] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche : I'll try
[07:34] <Wingless> Flannel: That doesn't seem to fix the problem...why would I have to set nolist?
[07:34] <sacarlson> Lizzard88: grub2 will start first and will chain boot your other operating system.  your other operating system can still be default
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> minh: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR
[07:35] <Wingless> Flannel: In fact, none of those sets seem to do anything for me >_<
[07:35] <Flannel> Wingless: Nolist isn't important, but the first two should solve your issue
[07:35] <Wingless> hmmmmm
[07:35] <Wingless> Flannel: Do I have to do something special before the changes kick in?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> atude: set the combination in system -> admin -> keyboard
[07:35] <Lizzard88> sacarlson: how can i choose which operating system to run?
[07:35] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: I guess that's part of what I love about gedit it makes everything readable like bash you can see in color what the comments are soooo cool
[07:35] <Lizzard88> i dont get that option when booting up
[07:35] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Thank you^^ Well, I installed Ubuntu on my computer, I got it to work fine. Unfortunately I do not have an Internet connection in my room, so I brought my PC downstairs and am using a different monitor and keyboard. When I start up Ubuntu, it stays on a black screen that says things about my USB ports.
[07:35] <minh> ActionParsnip: thank you so much...this is a good point to start...
[07:36] <Wingless> I've done :set wrap and :set linebreak, but words are still getting broken in the middle at the right edge of the screen
[07:36] <Flannel> Wingless: wrap makes it wrap on display instead of in the file, linebreak makes it break at lines.  nolist is important because wrap won't work if list is set.
[07:36] <atude> ActionParsnip: mind you, the key combination with Fn does not read
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: if you like it, sure. I find teext just as readbale without so I embrace speed :)
[07:36] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: can u quote what it says?
[07:36] <atude> ActionParsnip: however, other keys works without fn
[07:36] <Wingless> I see
[07:36] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Yes, let me find the picture.
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> atude: have you searched for you laptop make model to find linux guides
[07:37] <sacarlson> Lizzard88: from ubuntu I guess I would use the gui start-manager  to set what I wanted as the default boot
[07:37] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Thanks for all the tips by the way.  They helped lead me to a solution.  My solution was only about 30% of what I needed.  You helped with the other 70%
[07:38] <seidos> why can't I untar the kernel source file that I have in /usr/src?
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> seidos: you can: sudo tar zxvf file
[07:39] <seidos> ActionParsnip, thanks
[07:39] <Wingless> Flannel: I understand what :set list does now, and I think I understand what :set wrap does, but I'm not sure what :set linebreak does, and in any case setting both wrap and linebreak doesn't seem to do anything for me here...what could I possibly be doing wrong, or missing?
[07:39] <Coolwhoami> Hello, I am having an issue with installing wine, and the guys in the wine help channel sent me over your way because I apparently have a broken package. http://www.fpaste.org/mzGw/ is the problem I am having. Anybody mind taking a look? (I am a newbie to ubuntu)
[07:39] <ActionParsnip> seidos: as a user you don't have write access to the folder so you need sudo
[07:39] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Give me one more minute, I am uploading it to Photobucket.
[07:39] <sacarlson> ActionParsnip: well us old farts need all the help we can get.  and to each his own.  I still us vi when i'm in terminal with no graphic but that's all I ever learned
[07:39] <Flannel> Wingless: linebreak makes it break in between words, as opposed to "at the edge of the screen"
[07:39] <seidos> ActionParsnip, -zxvf didn't work, but -xvvf did
[07:40] <seidos> not sure if it will extract though.
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> seidos: cool, gold achieved
[07:40]  * seidos crosses his fingers
[07:40] <Flannel> Wingless: I can't think of anything else, #vim might be more help
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: its all good. Old or young is the same online
[07:40] <seidos> it's still extracting.  but sudo should do it
[07:40] <Wingless> I'll go ask them there
[07:40] <Wingless> Thanks for your help, Flannel
[07:40] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: http://3.ly/GtkB
[07:40] <seidos> yes!  thanks ActionParsnip
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> seidos: if you are going to be working a lot there then run: sudo -i ,you will not need sudo then
[07:41] <seidos> ah it doesn't matter, virtualbox is looking for src files in /usr/src/linux or something
[07:42] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: does the booting stop here? or it goes on smoothly?
[07:42] <rypervenche> It stops there.
[07:42] <Nagatocci> Hi
[07:42] <gewt> ...
[07:42] <gewt> I am NOT running on battery power!
[07:42] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: It stops there.
[07:42] <gewt> I have my system plugged in.
[07:43] <Nagatocci> ...
[07:43] <elkclone> 2 weeks of praying for money.
[07:43] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: so how do u proceed.. or are u using a different PC and OS right now?
[07:43] <gewt> I read praying as paying
[07:43] <bazhang> !ot | elkclone
[07:43] <tanath> why does it keep saying my HDD is in use when i just booted off live disc? not mounted, and nothing seems to be using it
[07:44] <elkclone> busted
[07:44] <tanath> need to scan for bad sectors
[07:44] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: I installed Ubuntu on this computer with Wubi just a few hours ago. In my room with my monitor and keyboard it works just fine. Then I came downstairs with the same PC but with a different monitor and keyboard and it showed up with that black screen.
[07:44] <elkclone> gewt: rofl
[07:45] <ActionParsnip> tanath: you could use lsof to see the open files, use grep to search for stuff. You may find the livecd is using your swapspace
[07:45] <bazhang> elkclone, please stay on topic
[07:45] <tanath> ActionParsnip, reports nothing except that output may be incomplete
[07:46] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche : did u hibernate before u took it below!!
[07:46] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: No, I never use that option.
[07:46] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche : and not even suspend (because it says failed to resume from hard disk)
[07:47] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: I have read about those problems, and I don't even use them in Windows.
[07:48] <lzs> HI
[07:48] <tanath> anyone know the command to keep live disc from using HDD swap partition?
[07:48] <GabrielFromBrazi> hello from Brazil
[07:49] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: In my room I was using a wireless keyboard and mouse and it had no problem. Downstairs I am using the same wireless mouse, but a wired keyboard. Would that do it?
[07:49] <EugeneKay> Could somebody please point me to the 10.04 Server BitTorrent links? The new website design is somewhat lacking.
[07:49] <lzs> 有能说中文的么
[07:49] <alison> hello, when i try to ssh into my server i get the message "Received disconnect from <IP_ADDRESS>: 2: fork failed: Not enough space
[07:50] <wurlington> i got it EugeneKay hang on
[07:50] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche, it shouldn't create such a problem..the problem seems to be in BIOS
[07:50] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche, but just to be sure..just disconnect the *keyboard* and try again
[07:50] <wurlington> http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso.torrent
[07:50] <rypervenche> Ok, I will be back then.
[07:50] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Thanks, I'll be back after trying it.
[07:51] <wurlington> just downloaded it myself last night
[07:51] <EugeneKay> wurlington - thanks. I was after amd64, but I made the link work.
[07:51] <wurlington> cool
[07:51] <lzs> hellow
[07:51] <Coolwhoami_> I keep getting a bunch of errors when running package updates, where should I start?
[07:51] <EugeneKay> I don't know why it's so hard to find the .torrents on the ubuntu.com site now..... but eh. I'm just after it so I can cross-learn from Fedora.
[07:52] <wurlington> yea, i was disapointed myself last night
[07:52] <wurlington> i wanted the superior download speed
[07:52] <wurlington> couldnt find it from their site
[07:52] <sacarlson> EugeneKay: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/    http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[07:52] <EugeneKay> It's more about the fact that my connection shits out every so often. I use ZNC for my IRC connection to get around that.... HTTP downloads not so much. Thus... BitTorrent
[07:53] <EugeneKay> sacarlson - got the direct link I was after already, but thanks. Now I know where to look..... in October.

[07:53] <blognewb> is there a secure gui version of ssh one can use when upgrading an ubuntu server remotely?
[07:54] <sacarlson> blognewb: ssh is secure
[07:54] <kenrick> Hey can i get some help?
[07:54] <sacarlson> blognewb: it's encrypted  you can use keys as an option
[07:55] <blognewb> sacarlson: what i meant was a graphical ui version of ssh
[07:55] <kenrick> i have problems making linux bootable on a usb drive
[07:55] <blognewb> instead of doing command line
[07:56] <sacarlson> blognewb: well ssh is a shell but you can us it like sftp to move files as well is that what you want to move files?
[07:56] <MaRk-I> blognewb: not sure what you mean, there's a ssh tunnel manager called gSTM
[07:56] <sacarlson> blognewb: if so then places>connect to server>ssh
[07:57] <shirtless> Anyone know if there is a widget/desklet for Gnome that can sync to google calendar?
[07:57] <sacarlson> blognewb: you will need to be more clear what you are trying to do
[07:58] <paranoidphreak> hi everybody, i have an ipod touch and i have tried banshee and rhythmbox to try to move music on the device but it doesn't seem to list the device in any of those apps but the device icon is shown on the desktop and i'm able to browse it, any thoughts?
[07:58] <shirtless> Looks like evolution can do it.
[07:58] <shirtless> paranoidphreak: to migrate your music to an ipod, you can just use nautilus or a shell.
[07:59] <shirtless> paranoidphreak: it mounts as a regular usb storage device.
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> shirtless: http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/Calendar/thread?tid=28cb4a5d7afbd49a&hl=en
[07:59] <paranoidphreak> shirtless: yes, it mounts as a usb drive
[07:59] <ActionParsnip> paranoidphreak: gtkpod
[07:59] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Yeah, that was stupid. I couldn't choose which OS to boot to without the use of my keyboard. But I don't think that would be the problem. Do you know how I may be able to fix this?
[08:00] <shirtless> ActionParsnip: cool
[08:00] <paranoidphreak> ActionParsnip: i tried that but on the internet it says it doesn't support touch
[08:00] <ActionParsnip> paranoidphreak: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/03/sync-iphone-and-ipod-touch-in-ubuntu.html
[08:00] <amagee> is anyone here any good at setting up postfix?  i want to set up about half a dozen hardcoded, non-unix accounts, and i want e-mail sent to these accounts to be both kept on the server, and forwarded to a different e-mail address that depends on the account.
[08:00] <paranoidphreak> ActionParsnip: thanks for the link
[08:00] <kenrick> Hey I have a brand new Hp elitebook with no os server but no disk drive. how do you boot from a usb from a mac?
[08:01] <ActionParsnip> paranoidphreak: or jailbreak it, install rockbox and be free
[08:01] <amagee> or if anyone can help me achieve this with some other package apart from postfix, that would also be welcome.
[08:02] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: so when u plugged it back in .. there was the same problem?
[08:02] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Yes.
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> kenrick: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-create-an-ubuntu-installation-usb-on-the-mac/
[08:02] <paranoidphreak> ActionParsnip: thanks, i'll try jailbreak, i just updated my touch and i lost all the music and video files
[08:02] <kenrick> ActionParsnip: Thanx
[08:02] <ActionParsnip> paranoidphreak: if you'd got a player from a more openminded company you'd be fine
[08:03] <blognewb> Should I get the LTS or is it not advisable? 10.04 (OS for web server)
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> kenrick: simple websearch dude
[08:03] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: this seems tough!
[08:03] <blognewb> Is it unstable, is it hard to upgrade from?
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> blognewb: for servers lts is good as you will be able to upgrade lts to lts
[08:04] <paranoidphreak> ActionParsnip: lol, i'm starting to hate apple, i had bought an mp3 player and just drag and dropped the files without any problems
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> blognewb: its also supported longer than the intermediate releases
[08:04] <rypervenche> paranoidphreak: It's really only good for the applications :/
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> paranoidphreak: yeah but people see te "cool" factor and shiny rather than what it does and doesn't do. Make me sad
[08:04] <blognewb> ActionParsnip: what if the next version is NOT lts? :( im confused sorry
[08:04] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: You'
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> blognewb: maverick is 10.10 and is not lts
[08:05] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: ... You're welcome :)
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> blognewb: the previos lts was hardy released april 2008
[08:05] <minh> ActionParsnip: I think it kind of WILL do the trick (OCR)...just have to write some scripts around it...thank you sooo much, once again!
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> minh: no worries dude
[08:05] <paranoidphreak> rypervenche, ActionParsnip: apple [08:06] <blognewb> ActionParsnip: oh i was referring to this.. http://library.linode.com/troubleshooting/upgrade-ubuntu-10.04 so that's not the latest?
[08:06] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: computer info!! configuration and company
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> minh: could try: apt-cache search ocr | less ,there may be an app available etc
[08:06] <blognewb> Lucid
[08:06] <blognewb> Maverick now ok
[08:06] <andyn> where in the boot configuration files should i put my 915resolution lines so that they get run before any modesetting is done?
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> blognewb: maverick is still in alpha and is discussed and supported in #ubuntu+1 ,not here
[08:07] <Jordan_U> andyn: I thought that 915resolution was no longer needed.
[08:07] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Windows Vista on an HP slimline, uhhh 300GB HD with about 120GB left on it. Um what else do you need?
[08:07] <andyn> Jordan_U: you're one of those optimists, aren't you?
[08:07] <blognewb> ActionParsnip: ", Ubuntu only officially supports upgrades between LTS releases." --> would u reckon i install lucid instead then, as a beginner?
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> andyn: /etc/default/grub sounds resonable
[08:07] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: graphic card!
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> blognewb: yes as its quite mature now and lts
[08:08] <blognewb> thansk!!!!!
[08:08] <MaRk-I> andyn:  in /etc/default/grub  you edit the line that says:  GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
[08:08] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: ATI Radeon HD 4350
[08:08] <andyn> ActionParsnip, MaRk-I: no, i don't want and i cannot use KMS.
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> andyn: don't want what?
[08:09] <Jordan_U> andyn: Why?
[08:09] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Like I said I got Ubuntu to start just fine when I was upstairs. Very fast and no problems whatsoever.
[08:09] <MaRk-I> andyn: you asked WHERE I dont care if you want it or not... that's WHERE you disable it
[08:10] <andyn> ActionParsnip, Jordan_U: xorg intel drivers are unusable on i8xx graphics cards forcing me to use vesa, which explicitly rules out KMS.
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> andyn: you must run: sudo update-grub ,to apply the setting
[08:10] <andyn> MaRk-I: kms is blacklisted on i8xx cards anyway so you don't have to edit that file...
[08:11] <MaRk-I> andyn: fine eh... ignore my comment then
[08:11] <skumara> when log in my terminal , i keep getting this message every few seconds. is there any problem with my laptop? http://pastebin.com/DK9yc54b
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> andyn: I think this page has some code you can use: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes
[08:12] <andyn> ActionParsnip: are you referring to the i8xx/i9xx "black screen on boot" bug?
[08:12] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: You still there?
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> andyn: I read something on intel 8xx cards earlier but this browser hates most of the ubuntu pages
[08:12] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: Yes.
[08:12] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: http://blog.adamsbros.org/2010/08/14/ubuntu-wont-boot-raided-root/
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> andyn: it may relate to that. I make my system use framebuffer til it hits desktop
[08:13] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Anything that consumes a significant amount of time is worth blogging about. hehe
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> andyn: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[08:14] <ActionParsnip> andyn: I use it on my crappy intel based lappy too
[08:15] <andyn> ActionParsnip: anyway, my problem is that since i'm forced to use vesa, KMS is out of the question and i need to revert to 915resolution to patch my video bios before any video mode changes are done. i was asking where i should put those 915resolution commands so that my bios gets patched early enough. that blog posts also points out the same problem so it's not really a triage, i suppose
[08:16] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Could it be my monter resolution changed?
[08:16] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: monitor*
[08:16] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche : lets try this ... type in terminal "sudo gedit /etc/default/bootlogd
[08:17] <rajatkhanduja> and change the BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No to BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
[08:17] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: and change the BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=No to BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
[08:17] <shzlnzl> anyone got a ubuntu dual boot howto url?
[08:17] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: then try rebooting...and see if /var/log/boot shows something
[08:18] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: When I said I was new to this, I meant really new. How do I get to terminal if I can't get into Ubuntu?
[08:19] <_genuser_> hey guys.
[08:19] <rajatkhanduja> rypervenche: i thought u said Ubuntu's running well with the other monitor and keyboard!
[08:19] <skumara> does anyone know what this error referring to? or which hardware this error come from: http://pastebin.com/DK9yc54b
[08:19] <_genuser_> trying to install sun-java6-jre, it's not found. using netbuntu.
[08:20] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Oh, ok. I'll have to go upstairs.
[08:20] <rajatkhanduja> try taking the monitor upstairs as well and the keyborad
[08:21] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: If you are actually changing the filesystem containing /boot you should run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc", this will do three things. 1: Update the debconf settings for the grub-pc package so that grub is installed to the correct device(s) when there is an upgrade to the grub-pc package, for instance you probably want to install to both members of your new raid 2: Runs grub-install on the devices you selected 3:
[08:21] <rypervenche> rajatkhanduja: Ok so after that I should come back downstairs and try again?
[08:23] <johnscw> salut
[08:24] <TrentonAdams> Jordan_U: Thanks, I forgot about that one.  You mentioned that before.
[08:24] <Jordan_U> TrentonAdams: You're welcome.
[08:26] <Kurusu> I want to uninstall vim-tiny and install a full version of vim on Ubuntu 8.10, but when I use Synaptic to try and remove vim-tiny and vim-common (the only two packages with vim in their name that are currently installed), it also requires me to uninstall ubuntu-minimal.  Is that safe?
[08:28] <shirtless> Kurusu: just apt-get install vim-full, and it will ask you if you want to fix that issue when you install it.
[08:29] <shirtless> or vim-gnome.
[08:29] <Kurusu> shirtless: Okay, I'll give that a shot

[08:54] <kenrick> just says permission denied
[08:54] <kenrick> ...
[08:54] <henkpoley> it = ?
[08:54] <murlidhar> kenrick: maybe you should ask that on a mac support forum.
[08:54] <henkpoley> And why ask a Mac question in #Ubuntu?
[08:55]  * murlidhar wonders
[08:55] <Lampchair> I'm shopping for a nice android smart phone.. which one should I get?
[08:55] <kenrick> because im bootin an hp elitebook from a usb on a mac...
[08:55] <henkpoley> Also, on a mac you can only easily burn isos, not *.img files
[08:55] <murlidhar> kenrick: how is that related to ubuntu
[08:56] <kenrick> murlidhar: because my elitebook has no os server
[08:56] <sarah32> hi need bit of help problem in lucid. i use wifi dongle belking with chipset rt2573. the problem is that when im trying connect to the internet lucid freeze totally and i have to restart i know that the problem is with driver it use or it should use  rt73usb driver i tried to install firmaware from ralink but got problems pls look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/477817/
[08:57] <henkpoley> sarah32: I'll take a look, you van ask around in #linux-wireless too, not too many people there though.
[08:57] <jagan185> hi everyone
[08:57] <jagan185> How can I block a non-admin user from accessing a particular folder in ubuntu
[08:58] <henkpoley> sarah32: do you have the linux header files of your kernel installed ?
[08:58] <Aemaeth> fspot keeps crashing, i'm only importing 40,000 pictures
[08:59] <henkpoley> jagan185: a specific user, or any non-admin user ?
[08:59] <murlidhar> Aemaeth: just a personal choice but i found shotwell good in picture management.
[08:59] <s1gma> how do you change gdm themes in lucid?
 i think so:) i have other dongle with rt2870 and other with zd1211 both work the problem i got is with rt2573 i think it maybe something to do with the driver i mean i installed compat-wireless etc at the moment i blacklisted everythink i mean all other drivers and still rt73 doesnt work
[09:00] <pocoyo> hi,all. Can Greader user-defined shortcuts like in gmail?
[09:01] <henkpoley> sarah32: when you install compat-wireless from ubuntu backports it will remove the linux header files
[09:01] <henkpoley> sarah32: if you compiled linux-compat you ought to have them though, else it wouldn't work
[09:01] <henkpoley> ]
[09:02] <Aemaeth> murlidhar, checking it out
 i use aircrack i mean i play with it sometimes there is airmon-ng so with it i checked that rt73 is working i mean it recognisse etc the problem is just with the internet cuz when im trying to connect it lucid freeze totally
[09:03] <spazmi> I have been using my gateway with a static IP but recently changed my ISP-subscription to a dynamic IP... what do I need to re-conf in my gateway for it to request a dynamic IP from the modem instead?
[09:03] <quietone> jagan185, change the file permissions. maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions will help
[09:03] <henkpoley> jagan185:  you could change the folder's group to his own, and then remove access rights: chgrp username the-folder; chown g-rwx the-folder;
[09:04] <henkpoley> sarah32: my rt2571 device (same driver) is also having a lot of problems, like 50% package loss.
[09:04] <henkpoley> no freezes though
[09:06] <henkpoley> sarah32: You can report compat-wireless bugs here: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download#Bugs

[09:11] <Badegakk> Is it posible to boot up in text mode insted of the kubuntu splash screen?
[09:13] <oddtod> so i have followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP to install and configure LAMP. I cannot get PHP to work with apache2 I have followed the troubleshooting guide on that page.
[09:13] <Lampchair> Which android smartphone is the best to buy now a days to play around with?
[09:14] <kisuke> Badegakk: yes there is but as far asi know it involves editing your grub conf files
[09:14] <rww> ubottu: ot | Lampchair
[09:14] <rww> Badegakk: Do you want to do it once, or set it as the default?
[09:14] <Badegakk> kisuke, default
[09:14] <Badegakk> rww, defualt
[09:15] <Badegakk> I want to see whats going on during boot time
[09:15] <kisuke> Badegakk: grub2 right?
[09:15] <rww> Badegakk: run "sudo nano /etc/default/grub" in Konsole, change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT to equal "", save. run "sudo update-grub".
[09:16] <Badegakk> rww, ahh. thx  :)
[09:16] <rww> Badegakk: (specifically, there are two options you'll remove. "splash" activates the splash screen, "quiet" suppresses some messages during boot)
[09:17] <JackStoner> hey can anyone help me with this error??
[09:17] <JackStoner> dpkg: failed to open `/var/lib/dpkg/status' for writing status information: Invalid argument
[09:17] <kisuke> JackStoner: what package?
[09:17] <JackStoner> kisuke: skype
[09:18] <kisuke> JackStoner: that's all it says?
[09:18] <Badegakk> rww, my box hangs sometimes during boot, with no disk activity, but alt ctrl del works.. wanna know whats going on, hehe
[09:18] <Diverdude> I am using sshfs, and it works fine, but after having beeing connected for 15-20 minutes something happens to the connections and it hangs. The only way i can reconnect is by restarting the computer and reconnect. This is EXTREMELY timeconsuming. Is this a known bug?
[09:18] <spazmi> I have been using my gateway with a static IP but recently changed my ISP-subscription to a dynamic IP... what do I need to re-conf in my gateway for it to request a dynamic IP from the modem instead?
[09:18] <JackStoner> kisuke: i tried installing skype and something broke i think and i had to do dpkg --configure -a
[09:18] <henkpoley> Badegakk: what would be the stage of your boot? already seen grub, ubuntu splash ?
[09:18] <JackStoner> but doing that throws me that error
[09:19] <kisuke> Diverdude: try looking on launchpad.net
[09:19] <Badegakk> henkpoley, ubuntu splash
[09:19] <kisuke> JackStoner: uninstall, reboot, then reinstall might solve it
[09:20] <Badegakk> henkpoley, it just stop loading
[09:20] <JackStoner> kisuke: it didnt install completely
[09:20] <Badegakk> henkpoley, only happens every 1 of 3 boot atempts
[09:21] <henkpoley> Badegakk: you could try removing splash and quiet from your kernel command line /boot/grub/grub.cnf(?ini?conf? they changed this a lot)
[09:21] <kisuke> JackStoner: ok then try restarting WMD reinstalling
[09:22] <henkpoley> Badegakk: then you'll at least know what has started, so people can guess what doesn't work
[09:22] <rww> henkpoley: /etc/default/grub , and I already recmomended that :)
[09:22] <rww> recommended **
[09:22] <kisuke> henkpoley: it's in /etc/grub but I don't remember the exact file I beleve it's 01.conf
[09:22] <JackStoner> kisuke: is there anyother way around without restarting?? coz i have this uptime im trying to maintain :P
[09:23] <Badegakk> changes are made, lets hope i can manage to see what the problem is,  i have ssd disk so it boots pretty fast
[09:23] <henkpoley> Badegakk: hey, when it hangs it hangs
[09:23] <Badegakk> henkpoley, true
[09:23] <kisuke> JackStoner: you don't have to, but it will clean out all the junk that has acculumated
[09:23] <Badegakk> Thx for the help everyone :)
[09:24] <JackStoner> mmhh...k  thanks kisuke
[09:24] <kisuke> JackStoner: how long have you been up?
[09:25] <JackStoner> kisuke: 7 days and a couple of hours :P

[09:41] <intel> In ubuntu is there any stuff like run in Windows
[09:41] <intel> it is an open question
[09:41] <intel> to all
[09:42] <amagee> intel: do you mean alt+f2?
[09:42] <Aemaeth> intel, that depends on what the definition of "stuff like" is
[09:43] <intel> I mean do we have any command in Ubuntu like cmd in Windows
[09:44] <Aemaeth> then amagee got you
[09:44] <yule> intel: Applications > Accessoires > Terminal ?
[09:44] <intel> no
[09:44] <intel> it is not
[09:44] <intel> you cannot detect the ip address from terminal
[09:45] <yule> intel: try 'ifconfig'
[09:45] <Aemaeth> you...can't?
[09:45] <intel> can u ping in terminal
[09:45] <rww> 'ping'
[09:45] <SwedeMike> intel: you can do "everything" in terminal.
[09:45] <yule> now can you install softare from 'cmd' in windows? :)
[09:45] <rww> I note that Windows didn't invent the 'ping' command ;)
[09:45] <Aemaeth> i download 4chan and 7chan pictures using a terminal script
[09:46] <intel> I think you should try typing ipconfig in terminal and check it
[09:46] <Aemaeth> wget and curl mean you don't really need a browser...if you're into that sort of thing
[09:46] <intel> i didn't get any
[09:46] <SwedeMike> intel: ifconfig, not ipconfig.
[09:46] <intel> sorry....I got it
[09:46] <intel> Tanks
[09:47] <SwedeMike> intel: or rather, use the command "ip", "ip -4 a l"  to list the addressses, "ip -4 r l" to list routes.
[09:47] <SwedeMike> "ip - show / manipulate routing, devices, policy routing and tunnels"

[09:48] <intel> ok

[10:02] <Glowball> I'd like to install Ubuntu as a dual boot on my parents' pc, but there's some unmovable file somewhere at the end of the disk (and it has got 'Jrnl' in its name, so it seems important :P). Would it be safe to just change the partition size from within EASUS Partition Manager (when the disk is in use, not sure if that's a good idea) or to do it from within the Ubuntu installation (moving vital
[10:02] <Glowball> parts of the Windows filesystem without it knowing.. Not sure if that's a good idea either :P)
[10:02] <yule> Guest98456: just state your problem :)
[10:02] <Matthes> hello
[10:03] <Matthes> I have a partition /dev/sd1 ext4  mountpint: /    size 227.14GB  used: 68.19GB   unused: 158.95   flags: boot
[10:04] <ilovefairuz> Cork[home]: probably not, but nice link
[10:04] <Guest98456> k well i tried to install 10.4 ubuntu and when i was doing all the updates on the first run it asked me something about grub, and i just hit next or whatever without reading it. then when i had to restart it said error: no such device: fc4e2e75-93e0-4dce-947c-17522800c0ce
[10:04] <Guest98456> and i cant even get on my windows
[10:04] <Matthes> van I make another partition without the current one being damaged
[10:04] <Matthes> ?
[10:05] <Guest98456> can someone please help me i need to get my windows back atleast
[10:05] <Glowball> Guest98456: How did you install ubuntu?
[10:05] <yule> Guest98456: sounds like a problem with grub, the boot manager, I think you need a live-cd to boot and then re-install grub. can someone else confirm this? I guess I could look it up
[10:05] <Aemaeth> and fspot is starting to crash again
[10:05] <cmpsalvestrini> Glowball: Before repartitioning the HD on that computer, try defragmenting it with the option to consolidate free space. The .jrnl externsion seems to me that it is some sort of journal implemented by Win7
[10:05] <Guest98456> uhh that one program i cant rember the name to install from windows
[10:06] <ilovefairuz> Kruptein: why not just use crontab? check its man page
[10:06] <Guest98456> wubi or something
[10:06] <Aemaeth> and yeah, reinstall will fix grub issue because grub will reognise dicks fresh
[10:06] <Glowball> cmpsalvestrini: I did, with MyDefrag. It says it's unmovable. Also, the extension isn't .jrnl, it's just something in the name, I don't remember the extention. Plus, it's a Windows XP cd
[10:06] <Aemaeth> trust me, i've seen that same error hundreds of times
[10:06] <Aemaeth> what i get for typing commands into a computer with no monitor
[10:06] <Kruptein> ilovefairuz: yes I know crontab,  but in a previous ubuntu install I had also gnome-schedule and it worked fine in that case, so I thought I just could re-use it
[10:07] <Guest98456> so should i get the cd install on a disk from this computer and reinstall ubuntu?
[10:07] <Aemaeth> at least reinstall grub, i think that's at the beginning right?
[10:07] <ilovefairuz> Matthes: use gparted from ubuntu live cd to resize the partition and make a new one in the unallocated space
[10:07] <Glowball> Not reinstalling Ubuntu from the cd, since Wubi installs it inside Windows.
[10:08] <Matthes> ok, thanks
[10:08] <Guest98456> it says grub saver or whatever and idk alot about ubuntu so im kinda confused
[10:08] <yule> Guest98456: basically, you now have ubuntu installed in a file on your windows partition, so if you reinstall now you probably need to resize that partition
[10:08] <Glowball> Only try to reinstall grub. If it doesn't work out, put in your Windows recovery disk and run fixmbr, then you'll be able to boot Windows again
[10:08] <cmpsalvestrini> Glowball: In any case to be on the safe side I'd go around that by installing Ubuntu on an usb stick, until you manage to understand what that file is. Also, I'd ask for permission to your parents before messing with their pc...
[10:08] <Aemaeth> what Glowball said sounds like truth
[10:09] <aurilliance> What does the "vv" (two v's) do in "tar cvvzf ../test.tar.gz *"??
[10:09] <Guest98456> i dont think i have a windows recov disk...but how would i go about reinsalling grub
[10:09] <ilovefairuz> Guest98456: first of all, did you install using wubi (the windows installer) or a normal install ?
[10:09] <Glowball> cmpsalvestrini: I've got permission ;) The Windows install fucked up not long after I got my own laptop and didn't take care of it anymore.
[10:09] <Guest98456> i used wubi
[10:09] <rshakin> hey ppl
[10:09] <rshakin> how is going
[10:09] <ilovefairuz> Guest98456: do you see grub:sh> or grub:rescue> ?
[10:10] <Guest98456> rescue
[10:10] <ilovefairuz> !hi | rshakin
[10:10] <Glowball> cmpsalvestrini: That's why I am going to install Ubuntu now. I am allowed to do it. But they still want an intact Windows install until they approved Ubuntu as usable :)
[10:10] <llutz> aurilliance: attempt to increase verbosity?
[10:10] <DVDR8> hi, do i have to install ubuntu-restricted-extras in order to get flash plugin working in chromium? i dont want the general flash plugin for all browsers...
[10:10] <ilovefairuz> Guest98456: type 'ls' and type here what shows up
[10:10] <aurilliance> llutz, does putting it twice up the verbosity even more does it?
[10:10] <ilovefairuz> !flash | DVDR8
[10:10] <Guest98456> uhh alright
[10:11] <llutz> aurilliance: not with gnu/tar afaik
[10:11] <Guest98456> ill be back i gotta go unplug everything from here and plug it in there
[10:11] <Guest98456> thanks for helping ill be back in like 10 minutes
[10:12] <aurilliance> llutz, hmm just checked and vv lists file permissions and owners as well as files :) thanks for the input tho
[10:12] <llutz> aurilliance: i stay corrected, it dies
[10:12] <llutz> does

[10:15] <{g}> Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen! I have fresh Ubuntu install here with no X installed yet. I want to install gnome, but "apt-get ubuntu-desktop" will probably install a ton of bloat. What would be a good way? "apt-get install gnome"?
[10:15] <Kwpolska> hi people.
[10:16] <ilovefairuz> !hi  | Kwpolska
[10:16] <Kwpolska> I needed to boot for a while to livecd of 10.04, and can someone tell me: is it some fail of my computer or you HAVE got dmz cursors in tty?
[10:16] <Aemaeth> no local file support? are they mad?
[10:17] <etherealite> Hey I've got my mouse speed topped out in Lucid and it's still slow. Anyone have links for a fix?
[10:17] <ilovefairuz> {g}: there's gnome-core (very slim) and gnome-desktop-environment (more packages)
[10:17] <Kwpolska> etherealite: how it worked in another OS?
[10:17] <{g}> ilovefairuz: after doing "gnome-core" i will have X? Will I start it via "gnome"? or via "gdm"?
[10:17] <RoutineT> I've been using Ubuntu 8 with PHP 5.2.  Do the repositories now have PHP >5.3?
[10:17] <etherealite> Kwpolska just fine in XP
[10:18] <Kwpolska> RoutineT: get ubuntu 10.04? or maybe if it's a server get some more serverish distro?
[10:18] <Kwpolska> etherealite: what's your mouse?
[10:18] <RoutineT> Kwpolska: that's what I'm looking.  I'm building a new server, and I'd very much like PHP 5.3 or better on it
[10:18] <ilovefairuz> {g}: use apt-get -s install to see what packages are going to be installed without actually installing them
[10:18] <Guest98456> i typed ls in the grub rescue
[10:18] <Guest98456> and it said hd0
[10:18] <ilovefairuz> {g}: a "dry run"
[10:19] <ilovefairuz> Guest98456: only that?
[10:19] <etherealite> say Kwpolska Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)
[10:19] <Guest98456> yes
[10:19] <etherealite> Microsoft Microsoft 3-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)
[10:19] <{g}> ilovefairuz: why should I do that?
[10:19] <rww> RoutineT: Ubuntu 10.04 has PHP 5.3.2
[10:19] <RoutineT> Kwpolska: are you implying that 10.04 is not good for a server platform?
[10:19] <Guest98456> waht does that mean S:
[10:20] <Kwpolska> RoutineT: it is not
[10:20] <RoutineT> rww: thanks...normal apt route for install?
[10:20] <Kwpolska> ANY ubuntu is not good for server
[10:20] <ilovefairuz> {g}: to check if that packages will get Xorg/gdm or not
[10:20] <RoutineT> Kwpolska: why not?  what would be a good distro?
[10:20] <Kwpolska> for servers, you've got debian, centos, BSDs, gentoo, but not ubuntu.
[10:20] <rww> RoutineT: Kwpolska is passing off his opinion as fact. I personally use and know a bunch of people that use Ubuntu Server.
[10:20] <rww> RoutineT: yup. 'php5' package
[10:20] <Kwpolska> ubuntu is made for desktop, ubuntu server is evil.
[10:21] <RoutineT> Kwpolska: I also have been using ubuntu server, and it has worked great.  Any particular reasons for your position?
[10:21] <ilovefairuz> Guest98456: how many partitions do you have?
[10:21] <{g}> ilovefairuz: i want to use it via tightvncserver. so i would not start gnome manually anyway.

[10:31] <Guest98456> uh ill make a live cd

[10:35] <Kwpolska> Thomas_Bates: no such channel?
[10:35] <Thomas_Bates> Alright,
[10:35] <Thomas_Bates> I've got a bit of an issue :/
[10:35] <Thomas_Bates> A certain flash drive works on my laptop, but refuses to work at all on my desktop, both are running Ubuntu 10.04
[10:35] <Thomas_Bates> I find it quite odd
[10:36] <ilovefairuz> Glowball: are you sure there's such a disk ?
[10:36] <Guest98456> i cant find anything for it :S
[10:36] <Glowball> ilovefairuz: Well, I once downloaded a recovery disk for Windows XP.. I assume they also have disks for Vista or 7 to download
[10:36] <ilovefairuz> Glowball: from microsoft's website?
[10:36] <Glowball> Yes
[10:37] <Glowball> Guest98456: what Windows version have you got?
[10:37] <Guest98456> windows 7
[10:38] <Glowball> (I'm looking for it..)
[10:38] <Guest98456> ok thank you
[10:40] <quietone> Thomas_Bates, on our 7 yr old desktop the usb ports are unpredictable. one day one port works and the next day not. this happens irregardless of OS (XP/lucid/gNewSense)
[10:40] <ilovefairuz> Guest98456: if you don't mind, please also burn ubuntu live cd to further investigate this issue because I've seen this reported here more than once
[10:40] <Glowball> Guest98456: Ugh, nope, can't find it.
[10:41] <Kwpolska> Guest98456: what do you mean by "recovery disk"?
[10:41] <Thomas_Bates> My desktop is only about 3 years old
[10:41] <Thomas_Bates> and I've never had any issue with them.
[10:41] <Kwpolska> and why are you asking for a recovery disk for windows?
[10:41] <Glowball> Kwpolska: It's like a disk with Windows 7 on it, but you can only use it to fix errors, not to completely install Windows
[10:41] <ilovefairuz> Kwpolska: the original installation cd, we are trying to find an alternative
[10:42] <ilovefairuz> Kwpolska: scroll up and read
[10:42] <Kwpolska> Glowball: possible to do from the WAIK
[10:42] <Guest98456> ill burn the live cd
[10:42] <Glowball> I'm 100% sure it existed for Windows XP, but I haven't got any experience with later versions
[10:42] <Kwpolska> there is such a possibility for windows vista or 7
[10:42] <Guest98456> i just hope i can find a cd thats big enough :S
[10:43] <Kwpolska> but you need a machine and DVD of one of them
[10:43] <Thomas_Bates> Where does Ubuntu keep its drivers?
[10:43] <ectospasm> Thomas_Bates: what do you mean, "drivers"?
[10:43] <Kwpolska> Thomas_Bates: kernel, /lib, etc.
[10:43] <ectospasm> Thomas_Bates: /lib/modules may contain most of them
[10:43] <Thomas_Bates> alright
[10:44] <Thomas_Bates> Thanks
[10:44] <Thomas_Bates> I suppose there is no way for me to specifically tell if it pertains to USB or not?
[10:44] <Thomas_Bates> Judging by these file names
[10:44] <ectospasm> Thomas_Bates: you can try lsmod | grep *usb*
[10:45] <ilovefairuz> Thomas_Bates: depends on what kind of driver, it could be a linux kernel module or an Xorg module
[10:45] <Guest98456> k i found a cd and a usb drive if the disk is scratched or something :S gonna go download and burn it
[10:45] <ectospasm> or "lsmod | grep *hci"
[10:45] <ilovefairuz> Thomas_Bates: what are you trying to the find the driver of ?
[10:46] <Thomas_Bates> hmm
[10:46] <questions> ´ó¸ç´ó½ãÃÇ£¬ÓÐÃ»ÓÐ¸ö¶®ÖÐÎÄµÄ£¿
[10:46] <Thomas_Bates> USB drive, anything that would note a driver capable of reading a USB which is present on my laptop, but absent on my desktop
[10:46] <Kwpolska> questions: what?
[10:46] <Thomas_Bates> My laptop displays usb_storage, as does the desktop, which isn't unexpected.
[10:46] <ilovefairuz> !en | questions
[10:47] <Kwpolska> questions: and you need to change your charset
[10:47] <Thomas_Bates> desktop also displays hid and usbhid
[10:47] <ectospasm> Thomas_Bates: are you looking to see if a drive inserted via USB is recognized by the OS?  Check dmesg
[10:47] <Thomas_Bates> Dunno what those are
[10:47] <ilovefairuz> Thomas_Bates: plug the drive in the laptop, and pastebin the output of: lsusb
[10:47] <ilovefairuz> !paste | Thomas_Bates
[10:48] <Thomas_Bates> ...?
[10:48] <rypervenche> I have a question for anyone who is able to help. I just got Ubuntu and I was wondering... If I have to change monitors, is there anything that I have to do or will it automatically recognize the monitor?
[10:48] <bazhang> rypervenche, should be auto
[10:48] <eeeris> hi guys!
[10:48] <Kwpolska> rypervenche: automatically, but you might have to change the resolution yourself
[10:48] <ilovefairuz> Thomas_Bates: plug the drive in the computer, open a terminal, type 'lsmod' and press enter, then copy and paste the text
[10:48] <Kwpolska> !hi | eeeris
[10:48] <erUSUL> rypervenche: System>Preferences>Display also exist ...
[10:48] <Thomas_Bates> I got that part...
[10:48] <Thomas_Bates> I meant the line of pastebin
[10:49] <rypervenche> Do I have to change it beforehand or can I do it afterward?
[10:49] <ilovefairuz> Thomas_Bates: sorry, lsusb
[10:49]  * Thomas_Bates already knew that...
[10:49] <rypervenche> Because when I did it the first time, I wasn't able to boot Ubuntu and I was getting these messages. http://3.ly/GtkB
[10:50] <Kwpolska> rypervenche: hmm, what device is it?
[10:50] <ilovefairuz> rypervenche: most monitors "just work" try it and if you have a problem, come ask about it here
[10:50] <rypervenche> I have since reinstalled Ubuntu, but I still would have liked to know what went wrong.
[10:51] <Israfel> こんばんは! Everyone doing ok here?
[10:51] <rypervenche> I haven't been able to connect to the Internet yet, so I'm not sure if I have all of the drivers I need.

[10:52] <ilovefairuz> Thomas_Bates: what brand is the drive?
[10:52] <rypervenche> Kwpolska: Oh, ok. I am brand new to Linux^^ I am very excited about it though. It looks very fun and promising.
[10:52] <janicko> sacarlson: are you here?
[10:52] <Thomas_Bates> I've no idea, the driver included is called UMSS
[10:52] <Israfel> Can I speak in 1337?
[10:52] <Kwpolska> what the---
[10:53] <ilovefairuz> Thomas_Bates: and where is it plugged the laptop or desktop ?
[10:53] <Thomas_Bates> Also, the drive is plugged into the keyboard hub
[10:53] <Kwpolska> Israfel: no. us english, canadian english, aussie english, british, welsh, scottish, etc, etc, but no l33t.

[10:53] <ilovefairuz> !ot | Israfel, you know better!
[10:53] <Thomas_Bates> I do not know which port correlates with the output
[10:53] <janicko> I'm having trouble with wireless router, It is being recognized, also it's saing it,s connected, but i can't get on internet...
[10:54] <Thomas_Bates> As there is nothing else USB plugged into the laptop...
[10:54] <rypervenche> Kwpolska: I have had this PC for a while with Windows Vista on it. I just put Ubuntu on it with Wubi last night.
[10:54] <Israfel> Ok, I'll stay on topic. What's the best way to get a windows-type IME for japanese?
[10:54] <Kwpolska> rypervenche: what is problem?
[10:54] <Israfel> For ubuntu.
[10:54] <Kwpolska> Israfel: google, or try to install japanese release
[10:55] <rypervenche> Kwpolska: Well, I have reinstalled Ubuntu since my problem because I couldn't figure out a solution.
[10:55] <Kwpolska> rypervenche: bad idea.
[10:55] <Kwpolska> what is your problem, please?
[10:55] <Israfel> Kwpolska: I don't want the entire OS to be in jp. Just an IME. I speak too many languages for just one OS janguage install.
[10:55] <bazhang> Israfel, ibus
[10:56] <Thomas_Bates> I doubt this is neccessary, but this is what I have: http://www.xonixe.com/products/USBWatch/spec.php  (XU-L) Ordered from ThinkGeek
[10:56] <karthee> hi .. I am importing mysql .. its taking too much time .. How do I use nice  for the mysql-imported to be done faster ?
[10:56] <rypervenche> Kwpolska: Well, after installing Ubuntu, I went downstairs with my PC and used a different monitor and keyboard and then it didn't load Ubuntu when I tried downstairs.
[10:56] <Kwpolska> Israfel: check out things used for ime and you can install english one
[10:56] <bazhang> Kwpolska, telling people to google is not an acceptable answer
[10:56] <Kwpolska> bazhang: i know, i know
[10:56] <bazhang> Kwpolska, then don't do it
[10:56] <Kwpolska> rypervenche: your monitor might not be correct
[10:56] <Kwpolska> bazhang: then do not remind me.
[10:57] <rypervenche> Kwpolska: and I came back upstairs and it didn't work. I just kept getting that black screen with white lettering with different things on it, all saying "resume from disk failed"
[10:57] <rypervenche> Kwpolska: Well the one I use is a widescreen and the one downstairs is not.
[10:57] <Kwpolska> resume from disk? did you hibernated it or done something evil?
[10:57] <Kwpolska> rypervenche: that shall not be a problem
[10:57] <Kwpolska> did it worked with windows on that pc?
[10:57] <rypervenche> Kwpolska: I'm on the windows on it now.
[10:58] <ilovefairuz> Thomas_Bates: tail -f /var/log/messages .. unplug and plug it again, paste the messages that show up
[10:58] <rypervenche> Kwpolska: I never hibernate or anything like that.
[10:58] <Kwpolska> rypervenche: maybe the system did it for you?
[10:59] <ChaosR> hello, I installed ubuntu on my new laptop, with the kernel that came with the installer (2.6.32-21) everything works fine, but with 2.6.32-24 xserver fails to load the intel drivers complaining about a drm error, anybody knows how to solve this?
[10:59] <Thomas_Bates> hmm
[10:59] <Thomas_Bates> odd
[10:59] <Israfel> bazhang: Thanks. I think I found it. Kwpolska must think I need a jp install with an English IME.
[10:59] <Thomas_Bates> http://pastebin.com/6ux3WC0h
[11:00] <bazhang> Israfel, that is not correct. Japanese/Mandarin / Korean works fine here with English install. ibus and language packs is it
[11:00] <Thomas_Bates> it looks to me like it is disconnecting repeatedly
[11:00] <Thomas_Bates> or something like that
[11:01] <bazhang> Israfel, assuming you mean lucid, as scim was for earlier releases
[11:01] <ilovefairuz> Thomas_Bates: looks trimmed to me, more messages?
[11:01] <Thomas_Bates> after the C/P
[11:01] <Thomas_Bates> Update
[11:01] <rypervenche> Kwpolska: So basically changing hardware shouldn't affect my Ubuntu and it must have been another problem? Or could it have been the monitor resolution that messed it up?
