[19:01] <superkuh> I normally run off a sata drive mounted as sda. I just connected a new ATA drive as a slave. Suddenly when I log in ubuntu says my /home/ is missing.
[19:01] <jiohdi> anyone have an opinion about dropbox?
[19:01] <superkuh> I think the drives were renamed, the numbers, or soemthing. But I can't get in to tell.
[19:01] <jiohdi> under ubuntu
[19:01] <coz_> jiohdi,  i use it all the time
[19:02] <coz_> jiohdi,  it works well... 2 gigs free.. $10 a month for 50 gigs
[19:02] <coz_> jiohdi,  cant go wrong with it
[19:02] <jiohdi> coz, better than ubuntu one?
[19:02] <coz_> jiohdi,  in my opinion  way better
[19:02] <lchowell> ubuntu one is easy to use and is good for saving documents or reports
[19:03] <jiohdi> I have had problems with ubuntu one updating across several computers
[19:03] <ChogyDan> jiohdi: I do to.  Ubuntu One messes with the modification times, and then confuses itself
[19:04] <random> Stargaze, i'm still having problems connect, it seems like its not accepting my password even tho it's write
[19:04] <random> Stargaze, right*
[19:04] <coz_> jiohdi,  I have had no issues with dropbox..its clean  simple and web accessible
[19:05] <jiohdi> coz_: I am sold :)
[19:05] <coz_> :)
[19:05] <jiohdi> any idea who is behind dropbox?
[19:05] <coz_> jiohdi,  I talked with the creators some time ago but no I dont remember
[19:05] <jiohdi> a big company likely to be around for a while:?
[19:06] <gigasoft> is Ubuntu any good?
[19:06] <chetnick> any suggestions on good audio/music player?
[19:06] <coz_> jiohdi,  if they play it smart they can give ubuntu one some lessons also :)
[19:06] <jiohdi> gigasoft: depends on what you want to do and how old your system :)
[19:06] <chetnick> gigasoft: yeah it's good.
[19:06] <coz_> gigasoft,  ubuntu is cool...nice...and easy to use
[19:06] <gigasoft> widnows rules!
[19:06] <SolarisBoy> rofl
[19:06] <coz_> gigasoft,  it can be as simple as windows or as complex as you want
[19:06] <jiohdi> gigasoft: not for long :)
[19:07] <chetnick> gigasoft: i suggest you make more inteligent statement. Otherwise leave, and come back when you get smarter.
[19:08] <Jules> ciao
[19:08] <jiohdi> windows does rule.... for now.... but no dictator lasts for ever
[19:08] <random> can anyone help with connect through lan to a comp with windows7?
[19:08] <coz_> Jules,  ciao...come sta?
[19:08] <chetnick> random: smb://windows-ip
[19:08] <Jules> we coz
[19:08] <jiohdi> linux = democracy
[19:08] <jiohdi> :)
[19:08] <Jules> vieni sul puntoit XD
[19:08] <Jules> ?
[19:09] <chetnick> jiohdi: it's more of a communism :-)
[19:09] <random> chetnick, i do that and it has 3 field in a box pop up, 2 are filled last is a pass, i type the pass and it just pops the box up again
[19:09] <jiohdi> chetnick: communism treats the hard working like the lazy... and fails... ubuntu is not like that :)
[19:09] <Jules> coz_, sai per caso come aggiungere un programma su application?
[19:10] <jiohdi> chetnick: linux is something communism will never be.... successful and thriving
[19:10] <chetnick> jiohdi: true.
[19:10] <coz_> Jules,  do you know any english?
[19:10] <chetnick> jiohdi: i was refering to idea, not what actually happend in practice.
[19:10] <chetnick> jiohdi: but i agree with you.
[19:11] <coz_> Jules,  quale programma?
[19:11] <jiohdi> chetnick: the idea of communism cannot work in reality, but linux can and does so it must be something different :)
[19:11] <chetnick> random: did you enable printer and file sharing on windows?
[19:11] <chetnick> random: open the required firewall ports?
[19:11] <random> chetnick, firewalls are off,
[19:11] <jiohdi> maybe the communists can learn something from it
[19:11] <chetnick> jiohdi: totally true.
[19:11] <random> chetnick, if i was on win7 on this comp i could connect
[19:12] <linolino> how do I check how much memory I have on my slice?
[19:12] <coz_> Jules,  dovrebbe andare al #ubuntu-it per un migliore supporto
[19:12] <chetnick> jiohdi: it's not the communists,  it's the people.
[19:13] <chetnick> random: so you were able to successfuly connect from windows, but can't do it from Ubuntu, correct?
[19:13] <random> chetnick, right
[19:14] <linolino> my server is swapping
[19:15] <davertron> can someone help me with trying to set up a network printer via the command line on ubuntu?
[19:15] <ChogyDan> linolino: free?
[19:15] <chetnick> random: come on private, i need you to explain to me how are you trying to do this.
[19:15] <linolino> how come its swapping
[19:15] <linolino> its hella slow ..
[19:15] <blakkheim> !pm | chetnick
[19:16] <davertron> i copied /etc/cups/printers.conf from one ubuntu machine that i can print from over to another ubuntu machine (headless server) and apt-get installed cups, but if i try lpr filename it doesn't print.  checking lpc it looks like i have entries in the "spool area", but i'm not sure what that means
[19:17] <fourdfourm> I'm trying to set it up so users authenticate using radius. What's the typical way to do this, if any? radiusclient1? I have a Cisco ACS I want to authenticate against.
[19:18] <Guest80742> hi guys. i ve installed a nice up to date and fine tuned (with all apps needed) ubuntu.
[19:18] <ikonia> fourdfourm: do you want your ubuntu machine to authenticate against it, or external devices ?
[19:19] <brettins> howdy folks, I am having trouble getting ALSA working - googling shows a bunch of forums posts that half address my problem.    I was hoping to nab some help here
[19:19] <erUSUL> davertron: spool area /var/spool/
[19:19] <Guest80742> how can I kno the total amount of packages installed from the raw version, ust to install same thing in another machine?
[19:19] <mozmck> Can I install several versions of ubuntu on different partitions and have them all use the same swap partition?
[19:19] <davertron> erUSUL: any idea what i can check to see why things aren't actually printing?
[19:19] <ikonia> Guest80742: get a clean machine and do a dpkg -l | wc -l, then do it on your machine and count the difference
[19:19] <fourdfourm> ikonia: The ubuntu machine.
[19:20] <brettins> alsaconf command is not found, and running alsamixer gives me alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[19:20] <erUSUL> davertron: /var/log/cups/error_log ? and other logs there
[19:20] <ikonia> fourdfourm: you need to use something like the openradia client and going pam to use it
[19:20] <ChogyDan> mozmck: just edit your fstab appropriately.  I suggest avoiding UUIDs for swap
[19:20] <davertron> i don't have /var/log/cups
[19:20] <Kamokow> I heard the new ubuntu themes are available on the 10.04 alphas. Is there anyway to try them on 9.10_
[19:21] <ikonia> Kamokow: no
[19:21] <Guest80742> ikonia: this will return the number of lines...
[19:21] <mozmck> ChogyDan: why fstab?  This would be complete installs from CD.  Do you mean not use UUIDs in grub?
[19:21] <Kamokow> ikonia: Okay, thanks.
[19:21] <Guest80742> i need the packs
[19:21] <ikonia> Guest80742: yes, and each package is a line
[19:21] <brettins> Can anyone help me with configuring ALSA?  It doesn't seem to have installed correctly
[19:21] <davertron> ah, looks like i have "cupsys-client" installed...do i also need "cupsys" installed to print?
[19:22] <davertron> maybe "cupsys-client" is only for printing to a print server or something?
[19:22] <magnap> Where is the channel for beginners?
[19:22] <mozmck> davertron: I think so.
[19:22] <ikonia> magnap: you're in ti
[19:22] <ikonia> it
[19:22] <magnap> Oh!
[19:23] <ChogyDan> mozmck: no, I meant fstab, but you handle the fstab after everything is installed.  Just use manual partitioning, and make sure the swap partition is set to be "used as" swap. no mount point
[19:23] <nibbler> !details | brettins
[19:23] <erUSUL> davertron: is cups correctly installled and running ?? o.0??
[19:23] <Guest80742> ikonia: well, so I know how many packages have been installed... i need their name to repeat the command...
[19:23] <magnap> I thought it was something like #ubuntu-beginners, but it seemed i created it.
[19:23] <MIRI> hola
[19:23] <erUSUL> !clone | Guest80742
[19:23] <erUSUL> !es | MIRI
[19:24] <ikonia> Guest80742: ok, so pipe the dpkg -l to a file, then do the same on a cleam machine
[19:24] <ikonia> erUSUL: mega factoid, cool find
[19:24] <brettins> ummm.   alsaconf gives command not found, and alsamixer gives alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.     Also the /proc/asound directory does not exist
[19:24] <brettins> so ...a whole lot of "it didn't install"
[19:24] <mozmck> ChogyDan: thanks.  I have winxp, and ubuntu 8.04 on the drive, and I left free space for another ubuntu partition.
[19:24] <brettins> latest version of ubuntu AFAIK
[19:24] <ikonia> brettins: install alsaconf ?
[19:24] <davertron> erUSUL: that is the question
[19:24] <brettins> Right, apt-get install alsaconf doesn't do anything
[19:24] <Guest80742> ikonia: :D  ok me stupid
[19:24] <MIRI> k tal
[19:24] <erUSUL> davertron: can you use cups web interface to configure check cups ...
[19:25] <brettins> i've run the apt-ge installs that are recommended on ALSA sites
[19:25] <ikonia> brettins: the package is something like "alsa-tools" or "alsa-utils"
[19:25] <MIRI> no meda la gana
[19:25] <brettins>  apt-get install alsa-utils alsa-oss      is what I ran
[19:25] <Hathadar> From windows my public share shows up on my ubuntu server but when I try to connect I get "windows cannot access \\server\public"
[19:25] <erUSUL> MIRI: then speak english ; thnak you
[19:25] <MIRI> no
[19:25] <brettins> well initially I ran this: apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss
[19:26] <MIRI> no tengo ganas de  ablar ingles
[19:26] <MIRI> ok???
[19:26] <erUSUL> MIRI: you will be kicked out if you don't.
[19:26] <MIRI> kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[19:26] <brettins> so yah, I've run the install files that are recommended
[19:26] <benkay86> Does anyone know how to work around "Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/cdrom/casper/filesystem.squashfs) on //filesystem.squashfs" when attempting to install 9.10 from a USB drive created with usb-creator?
[19:26] <brettins> it seems to have  not installed properly.  So I did the "purge" thing and then ran the install again
[19:27] <brettins> same problem as before
[19:27] <ikonia> !es | MIRI
[19:27] <MIRI> please talking español
[19:27] <MIRI> spanish
[19:27] <ikonia> MIRI: english only
[19:27] <ikonia> !es | MIRI
[19:28] <ikonia> MIRI: read what ubottu said
[19:28] <brettins> so yah....I've "installed" the files that should install alsaconf, and it's still not there.  Any suggestions?
[19:28] <MIRI> can you go to the toilet plis?¿?
[19:28] <MIRI> please
[19:29] <benkay86> Anyone with experience installing Ubuntu from USB?
[19:29] <benkay86> When I try to install from a USB pendrive, the installer hangs on a blank screen.
[19:29] <brettins> I'm not sure how to take the silence - is that that noone knows the answer or my question is dumb?
[19:29] <komputes> benkay86: I so but have not seen that error
[19:29] <MIRI> can i go to the toist please
[19:30] <ChogyDan> benkay86: I do, but it always works fine for me.  Maybe your usb is bad
[19:30] <ardchoille> brettins: perhaps not everyone in the channel is looking at their screen right now
[19:30] <Hathadar> benkay86: I attempted initially to install USB, had lots of problems with blank screens like you.  I tried a different program to write to to my usb drive.  That seemed to work.  I dont recall what it is though.  Try various program to write to your usb drive.
[19:30] <brettins> ard: some people who were answering me before have typed since then but not responded to what I've been asking
[19:30] <benkay86> ChogyDan: Maybe, but I should get a write error from usb-creator if that's the case.
[19:31] <viliny> Hi!
[19:31] <ardchoille> brettins: Give it a few and ask again, perhaps something came up
[19:31] <Ashfire908> I can't left click on anything inside of flash (on any website) in firefox. It acts like I didn't click it.
[19:31] <brettins> okay
[19:31] <antonio_> ciao
[19:31] <ChogyDan> benkay86: why not use the boot option to check the drive anyway?  I'm not sure you would get a write error...
[19:31] <Kutakizukari> Trying to edit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf to blacklist b43 and blacklist ssb, but when I open the file it will not let me save it. How do I open this file to edit and save.
[19:31] <bdheeman> benkay86: how about booting off of an iso image itself using grub2
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[19:31] <ZykoticK9> Ashfire908, http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/how-i-do/clicking-in-flash-not-working
[19:32] <antonio_> htre
[19:32] <viliny> my karmic koala fails to start the login screen and therefore let me into the desktop... basicly im left with 2 black screens with an oldschool pointer X as the cursor and nothing happens. Everythings working under the hood but the system isn't usable beyond shell - tried reinstalling x configs and reinstalling ubuntu desktop but doesn't seem to do a single thing for the machine. Any ideas?
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Kutakizukari: gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[19:32] <benkay86> bdheeman: Would that work? I think the initramfs needs to be tweaked from what's on the ISO to expect an iso image file instead of a physical device.
[19:32] <blakkheim> s/gksudo gedit/sudo vi
[19:32] <Kutakizukari> thank you
[19:33] <ChogyDan> viliny: is this a clean install?
[19:33] <Ashfire908> ZykoticK9, Thanks.
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Blakkheim: gedit is a bit more user friendly for users ;)
[19:33] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.   The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.
[19:34] <blakkheim> ActionParsnip: if he's already on the commandline, why call two graphical apps from it instead of just using the terminal to edit? seems like a waste
[19:34] <viliny> ChogyDan no this is my week old install, 2 possible reasons it did this: 1. Updated system prior to this failed boot 2. Overclocked unsuccessfully ~5 times and ubuntu failed to boot - might have corrupted something there
[19:34] <benkay86> ChogyDan: I would love to, but that boot option generates the same error.
[19:34] <bdheeman> benkay86: not, sure but do boot from an iso off an on, is much faster than cdrom drive and, or sticks
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Blakkheim: true
[19:34] <ChogyDan> viliny: ya, I would just reinstall if you can
[19:36] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.   The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.    I tried purging a
[19:36] <brettins> nd then installing again but the same problems persist.
[19:36] <ChogyDan> benkay86: maybe you could try just mounting it if you already have an install of ubuntu running.  something like: mount -o loop /media/usb/squash.fs
[19:36] <viliny> Chogydan whats the least painfull way to do it? as to not lose everything?
[19:36] <viliny> copying my home folder to a ntfs drive on the computer but beyond that?
[19:37] <benkay86> ChogyDan: I'm trying to install it on a friend's netbook, not my laptop. I know the image works because I've burned it to CD and installed it the old fashioned way before.
 When I do gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf it gives me a blank file, when I opened it earlier there was much text. Should add my lines and save or do I need to do something else?
[19:37] <viliny> also, sudo mount /dev/sda -> where in there do i specify it to be ntfs filesystem?
[19:37] <djavoleto> ciao
[19:37] <blakkheim> viliny: mount the partition, not the device
[19:38] <viliny> blakkheim, thanks - good spot
[19:38] <ChogyDan> viliny: unless you have some server programs installed, all your data will be in /home
[19:38] <viliny> it will keep them?
[19:38] <chetnick> any suggestion on good music/audio player?
[19:38] <blakkheim> chetnick: mpd + ncmpcpp
[19:38] <Hathadar> From windows my public share shows up on my ubuntu server but when I try to connect I get "windows cannot access \\server\public".  Can I get some help configuring /etc/samba/smb.conf?
[19:38] <knoppies> ChogyDan, Correct me if I am wrong, but some config files are not in /home
[19:39] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.   The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.    I tried purging a
[19:39] <brettins> nd then installing again but the same problems persist.
[19:39] <viliny> knoppies, apache server configs and the likes are not... but thats okay since it's my desktop and not my server :)
[19:40] <viliny> what does cp omitting directory mean?
[19:40] <knoppies> viliny, ok. I hope it all works out in the end.
[19:40] <Ashfire908> Sometimes when I click a button or something that triggers the button sound or others like that, my speakers pop quickly at the start of the sound.
[19:40] <blakkheim> viliny: it means use -r for copying directories
[19:40] <knoppies> viliny, it failed. I had that once, I cant remember what I did to correct it.
[19:40] <viliny> thanks again blakkheim
[19:40] <ChogyDan> knoppies: ok, I'm not an expert.  I personally just backup /home
[19:40] <viliny> it's back-upping right now
[19:40] <knoppies> viliny, I think rather than trying to copy the directory, I just copied the files in a directory into another directory (that already exists).
[19:41] <knoppies> ChogyDan, nor am I, Im just curious.
[19:41] <viliny> is lucid lynx in any shape to be a replacement for 9.10 if i would go straight for that now that i have to reinstall?
[19:41] <Kutakizukari> Kutakizukari
[19:41] <djavoleto> !list
[19:41] <brettins> Is anyone available to help me with some questions about an alsa install problem?
[19:41] <guntbert> !lucid | viliny
[19:41] <Pirate_Hunter> does 8.04 come with lmv2 by default?
[19:42] <plagerism> Anyone using any application for realtime watching of a system log?  My application would be very simple.  Watch the logs for a couple of messages from dhcp, and depending on the type do different tasks.
[19:42] <seanbrystone_> plagerism, maybe iwatch
[19:42] <knoppies> plagerism, I was going to say conky, but I dont think thats what your after.
[19:42] <Ashfire908> I'm going to go on a limb and say pulseaudio is the issue.
[19:42] <ulb> does anybody here use and external HD dock? i was thinking of getting one. does 9.10 have PMP support?
[19:42] <Ashfire908> *out on
[19:43] <brettins> Have I done something offensive or noobish so that people are ignoring me?
[19:43] <plagerism> seanbrystone, thanks I will look into iwatch
[19:43] <viliny> brettins, whats up?
[19:43] <plagerism> knoppies, your right conky isnt what I am looking for
[19:43] <brettins> hey viliny - i'll paste what i've written so far here -
[19:43] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found, and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory.   The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.    I tried purging a
[19:43] <brettins> nd then installing again but the same problems persist.
[19:43] <FloodBot1> brettins: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:43] <ChogyDan> viliny: to backup your /home, you should use something like rsync -aS
[19:44] <knoppies> brettins, other than repeating yourself often, NO. Unfortunately we are not all experts on ALSA.
[19:44] <ChogyDan> viliny: cp may be able to do it, but make sure to use the -a option as well as -r
[19:44] <viliny> Brettins, sorry i can't help you with that specific problem, sorry
[19:44] <plagerism> knoppies, you mean this iwatch http://iwatch.sourceforge.net/documentation.html
[19:44] <viliny> -1 sorry
[19:44] <viliny> ChogyDan it's in the middle of copying
[19:44] <knoppies> brettins, You could look at google and ubuntu forums, but You probably already have.
[19:44] <Ashfire908> The pop only occurs with the ubuntu sounds.
[19:44] <knoppies> plagerism, Im not the one who suggested iwatch.
[19:44] <brettins> Yah, I've googled many times.
[19:45] <ZykoticK9> plagerism, root-tail shows a specified log on the Xorg background, I use it from time to time
[19:45] <viliny> ChogyDan, whats the worst that can happen? i don't really need any hidden folders and such anyway
[19:45] <brettins> how often should I put a question in here...once every half an hour or  so?
[19:45] <seanbrystone_> plagerism, its in the repos
[19:45] <brettins> (if it doesn't get answered)
[19:45] <Ashfire908> Er, "Window and button sounds".
[19:45] <seanbrystone_> sudo apt-get install iwatch, then man iwatch
[19:45] <Red_HamsterX> brettins, you might have more luck with the forums. They tend to handle more complex issues more effectively.
[19:45] <plagerism> seanbrystone_, is that not for watch filesystems?
[19:45] <viliny> brettings, logic can be applied -> if someone active here doesn't know the answer now - then maybe someone who DOES know gets active in say... 20 minutes? theres good odds for that right?
[19:46] <knoppies> brettins, yea that sounds reasonable. alternativly you could pastebin your problem and say. I need help installing ALSA. Please look at <pastebin link> for more info.
[19:46] <seanbrystone_> plagerism, i think it has settings for what you want to do with it, im no expert though :)
[19:46] <babbio> hi guys i have a question, at the bibliothèque of my university we have a pc whit ubuntu, the goal of this pc is to allow students to browsing Internet. So i have installed ubuntu and created an "administrator" user to accomplish the systems routine operations. Then i created an "user" user for all other users. Now i would like to allow generic users only to open and use firefox....i though about make the administrator user part of
[19:46] <babbio>  the "root" group and so make all the / directort but the firefox one, readable writable and executable only by the root group.....but this does not work....how can i do???
[19:46] <brettins> Red_HamsterX: All the forums show essentially a close problem but the solution involves another part of the problem... ie they say "go to your /proc/asound" direcotry...which doesn't exist for me
[19:46] <brettins> knoppies: thanks
[19:47] <brettins> viliny: yah, logic is how I got the 30 minute number :)
[19:47] <knoppies> brettins, anytime.
[19:47] <plagerism> seanbrystone, yea I read the description in the cache, and it appears to work with inotify to just notify when the file or filesystem was modified
[19:47] <jp--> hi guys, how can I make usplash to not show any boot text on the usplash theme I have set up now?
[19:47] <viliny> brettins, if the solution isn't already then make a new thread about the problem :)
[19:48] <plagerism> as my dhcp server, serves 1500+ users, I know the log file will be updated quite regularily.  I want something like OSSEC, but without the OSSEC
[19:48] <seanbrystone_> plagerism, oh ok, figures lol
[19:48] <brettins> viliny:  makes sense.    I will try it.
[19:48] <viliny> cool
[19:49] <dehqan> cousteau: thanks
[19:49] <plagerism> I want what fail2ban does for authentication fail, but more generic so that I can act on "no free leases" in the dhcp logs
[19:49] <olskolirc> is it safe to open up a .py file in gedit?
[19:49] <ikonia> plagerism: dhcpd will deal with that
[19:49] <ikonia> plagerism: you can tell fail2ban to scrape whatever log you want
[19:50] <plagerism> ikonia, and then configure it to do whatever actions I want ?
[19:50] <vladi_sevillista> olaaaaa
[19:50] <ikonia> plagerism: within reason, yeah
[19:50] <ikonia> !es | vladi_sevillista
[19:51] <plagerism> ikonia, that sounds promising
[19:51] <vladi_sevillista> illo ai alguien
[19:51] <ikonia> vladi_sevillista: english please
[19:51] <dehqan> ubuntu is damaged and does not boot up ,(many packages are removed) , now , can /usr be used for new ubuntu or it is risk ?
[19:51] <ikonia> dehqan: don't use a /usr partition from another installer
[19:52] <dehqan> ikonia: what do you mean of another installer ?
[19:52] <ikonia> dehqan: what is your question, I may have not understood properly
[19:52] <jp--> how can i make usplash to not show boot text on the theme via command-line? (not using startup manager, cause I know there an checkbox there that says 'Show text during boot')
[19:53] <mkquist> jp--: remove quiet from boot line... should show text
[19:53] <dehqan> ikonia: can we use /usr in new installed ubuntu , both are jaunty
[19:53] <jp--> mkquist, I want it to not show the boot information/services that are getting up on my usplash theme!
[19:54] <ikonia> dehqan: use it ?? when you install ubuntu /usr gets created
[19:54] <jp--> i do want it themed
[19:54] <kielanmatt> hey guyz
[19:54] <jp--> but without the extra boot information showing it up
[19:54] <kielanmatt> how do I reset ALSA
[19:54] <kielanmatt> like set it back to default
[19:54] <dehqan> ikonia: replacing them
[19:55] <ikonia> dehqan: replacing what from what ?
[19:55] <jp--> I knkow startupmanager does the job, but I don't have any gui installed, I don't wanna have to install 400 megs of files just to change that option mkquist
[19:55] <mkquist> jp--: then set to quiet boot... doesnt show text
[19:55] <nhak> how can i run a shell script without giving the full path of
[19:55] <dehqan> ikonia: /usr from jaunty that is damaged to new one
[19:55] <nhak> the script ?
[19:55] <ikonia> dehqan: where are you getting a new one ?
[19:55] <ikonia> dehqan: either way "no"
[19:55] <nhak> how can i run a shell script without giving the full path of the script ?
[19:55] <ikonia> nhak: put it in your PATH
[19:55] <nhak> i have tried it but it does not work :/
[19:56] <dehqan> ikonia: installer will make new ok ?
[19:56] <kielanmatt> how do I reset ALSA back to default?
[19:56] <ikonia> dehqan: if you do an install it will make a new one
[19:56] <ikonia> nhak: a.) the it has to be in your path b.) it has to be executable
[19:56] <dehqan> ikonia: ok then can /usr from past be replaced with new one ?
[19:56] <ikonia> dehqan: no
[19:56] <xnt14> Hi, I have an issue with a nvidia G105M, X crashes when I try to login. I'm using nvidia's latest drivers. Any Solutions to this problem?
[19:56] <kielanmatt> xnt14: how did you install them
[19:56] <dehqan> ikonia: why not?
[19:57] <ikonia> dehqan: because the versions maybe out of sync with what libraries in /lib are, or the package manager thinks is installed
[19:57] <xnt14> kielanmatt: I downloaded nvidia's .run file and executed that from a tty as root
[19:57] <Lappie> hello i have a couple of questions, i installed ubuntu with windows vista, when i start my sys, i goto ubuntu, then it goes to the gnu grub 1.97 beta
[19:57] <Lappie> and under there are selections that i dont understand
[19:57] <kielanmatt> xnt14: 195.xxx.x.x. ones?
[19:57] <xnt14> kielanmatt: yes
[19:58] <xnt14> the *latest* one
[19:58] <benkay86> ChogyDan: Got it to work after I used this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer.exe from Windows 7.
[19:58] <dehqan> ikonia: ok someone has done it for debian
[19:58] <kielanmatt> did you agree to remove conflicting files?
[19:58] <xnt14> hmm
[19:58] <xnt14> yes
[19:58] <ikonia> dehqan: so ?
[19:58] <xnt14> well
[19:58] <xnt14> it never asked
[19:58] <jp--> mkquist, that did the tricks! i love you.
[19:58] <FloodBot1> xnt14: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:58] <jp--> <3
[19:58] <benkay86> Of course, not it's hard to tell my friend "Linux is better" with a straight face.
[19:58] <jp--> haha
[19:58] <jp--> :D
[19:58] <FloodBot1> jp--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:58] <ikonia> jp--: please stop that
[19:58] <kielanmatt> xnt14: did you agree to nvidia changing Xorg config
[19:58] <benkay86> (Since I need Windows to install Linux.)
[19:58] <dehqan> ikonia: he/she used /usr for new installs
[19:58] <xnt14> kielanmatt: yeah
[19:58] <ikonia> jp--: please try to put your comments on one, or as few lines as possible
[19:58] <ikonia> dehqan: so ?
[19:58] <kielanmatt> xnt14: in that case
[19:58] <opossum_oisif> hi, I would like to know how do I do a backup of my home?
[19:58] <kielanmatt> i would reccomend a third party installer
[19:58] <ikonia> opossum_oisif: tar it up to a different location
[19:58] <Lappie> Ub linux 2.6.31-19 generic, then the recovery mode for the same, and also -14 and -14 recovery mode also there is winvista (loader) on /dev/sda2)
[19:59] <jp--> ikonia, i'm a hustla, don't fuck with me.
[19:59] <xnt14> kielanmatt: like Envy-NG?
[19:59] <kielanmatt> yes
[19:59] <xnt14> kielanmatt: ok, I'll try that
[19:59] <kielanmatt> how do I reset ALSA back to default?
[19:59] <kielanmatt> how do I reset ALSA back to default?
[19:59] <blakkheim> rofl
[19:59] <nhak> ikonia, the file is in the path and it is executable but i does not work :/
[19:59] <dehqan> ikonia: so why there in debian is possible but it is not possible here ?
[19:59] <overmind> opossum_oisif: Copy your personal data to pendrive and done
[19:59] <Lappie> what is the diff between the -19 and the -14 and what does the vista (loader) thing do?
[19:59] <opossum_oisif> ikonia, ok thx but what are the argument to do a correct backup does cvzf are sufficant?
[19:59] <DcMeese> Lappie: Vista?? Ewww
[20:00] <ikonia> dehqan: it is possible if you %101 fully understand what you're doing and know that the packages match and the binaries match the library versions
[20:00] <ikonia> opossum_oisif: tar cvfp
[20:00] <dehqan> ikonia: see both are jaunty so lib and packages should be the same or not ?
[20:00] <ikonia> dehqan: no
[20:00] <ikonia> dehqan: updates change versions
[20:00] <xnt14> kielanmatt: I can't login to gnome, does envy have a cli?
[20:01] <ikonia> !envy | xnt14
[20:01] <dehqan> ikonia: no no with out update , does jaunty update automoticaly ?
[20:01] <nhak> ikonia, e.g. now i want to start thunderbird after installing it using the source files after i setup the path in .bashrc i can not start it directly
[20:01] <ikonia> dehqan: jaunty offers updates
[20:01] <ikonia> nhak: echo $PATH see if it's in your path (or paste your PATH in here)
[20:01] <xnt14> ikonia: ok thanks ;)
[20:02] <xnt14> ah, it does have a cli, the `-t-` switch :)
[20:02] <Lappie> is there a source of info for the gnu grub?
[20:02] <kielanmatt> xnt14: yes it does
[20:03] <ikonia> Lappie: yes, the grub website on gnu.org
[20:03] <xnt14> kielanmatt: ok
[20:03] <dehqan> ikonia: so both are 9.04 with out update from on cd
[20:03] <Lappie> kk ty
[20:03] <ikonia> dehqan: updates don't come from the cd, they come from the internet
[20:03] <kielanmatt> just type in envyng
[20:03] <kielanmatt> into terminal once you install it
[20:03] <dehqan> ikonia: know that , humble mean humble have not updated it handy
[20:03] <xnt14> kielanmatt: I am, its running atm ;)
[20:03] <ulb> does anybody here use and external HD dock? i was thinking of getting one. does 9.10 have PMP support?
[20:04] <ikonia> dehqan: I have no idea what youre talking about humble and handy
[20:04] <ulb> *an
[20:04] <dehqan> ikonia: know that , humble(i) mean humble have not updated it myself
[20:04] <ulb> my external HD worked fine, but I want to get one of those docks to clone drives...could there be any issues?
[20:05] <nhak> ikonia, sorry it was my fault (i have put thunderbid there), thank you for your help :)
[20:06] <dehqan> in a folder there are some packages from jaunty and karmic repositories , how to collect jaunty packages ? ikonia
[20:07] <red> could someone add this repository: add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc
[20:07] <red> and then list me the list of packets this command would install:  sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
[20:07] <Elive_user59_nl> -nick shuffletown
[20:07] <xnt14> kielanmatt: Thank You! That worked. :)
[20:07] <red> im unable to successfully add that repo under the new alpha
[20:08] <red> so i cant get the build deps
[20:08] <Lappie> ok this site does not appear to have any information on those diff options, so what now?
[20:08] <red> and can't find a list anywhere
[20:09] <guntbert> red: "the new alpha" means lucid? then please join #ubuntu+1
[20:09] <mick__> hey i have a bash script i want to automate to an icon
[20:10] <mick__> what would be the command to open a terminal AND enter a command into it?
[20:10] <red> guntbert: yes it means, and since people there tend to have it installed im asking here.
[20:10] <red> cause i need an older karmic user to successfully ad the repo and paste me the list :)
[20:10] <mick__> i tried -e --command=[my script]
[20:10] <red> so i can manually find the dep packages
[20:10] <phnom> mick__: gnome-terminal -e <command>
[20:11] <mick__> wow.. i was on the right track lol XD thanks
[20:11] <guntbert> red: ah I see - you will get better responses if you keep your questions on *one* line
[20:12] <arand> red: https://edge.launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa/+files/xbmc_9.11-karmic1.dsc should list your build-deps.
[20:12] <xnt14> umm, it won't let me enable desktop effects, and running `compiz` in gnome-terminal complains that Xgl isn't enabled. any ideas?
[20:14] <arand> xnt14: Indicating your current video drivers don't support XCgl..
[20:15] <xnt14> arand: I installed the nvidia 185 driver
[20:16] <Mohammad[B]> i have not sound in youtube videos in firefox ! how i can resolve this problem ?
[20:16] <olskolirc> my friend wants to upgrade from fiesty to karamic and I have an incoming pastebin for ya
[20:16] <arand> xnt14: Then something didn't go exactly as it should, presumably, you might be able to find some hints in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:16] <xnt14> arand: ok
[20:16] <xnt14> I'll pastebin it
[20:16] <xnt14> hmm
[20:17] <xnt14> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1337349
[20:17] <FloodBot1> xnt14: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:17] <xnt14> I think I should put in the "Extensions" part in xorg.conf?
[20:17] <xnt14> Its not in there atm
[20:18] <red> thank you arand
[20:18] <xnt14> ugh, adding 'Option "Composite" "Enable"' made x crash...
[20:18] <arand> xnt14: normally you shouldn't need an xorg.conf file.
[20:18] <xnt14> arand: hmm
[20:19] <xnt14> brb
[20:19] <Lappie> ok i think i found something (finally) but i am very very much a noob as far as this stuff is conserned, can someone please review this information and tell me if im on the right path???    http://www.trap17.com/index.php/Editing-Grub_t70042.html
[20:20] <mkquist> Lappie: having grub problems?
[20:20] <Lappie> not exactly a problem, i just want to understand all the options it shows
[20:21] <mkquist> karmic?
[20:21] <mkquist> Lappie: karmic?
[20:21] <dehqan> will xchat log be removed after removing xchat?
[20:21] <Lappie> yes i installed ubuntu with windows
[20:21] <kwtm> Question on behalf of my mom: "The bar that used to show the names of opened programs is lost.  When I minimize the program that I am using I will not be able to get it back and I may have to open a new one.  Hence there may be several identical programs opened without being known. "
[20:22] <kwtm> How does she get the bar back?  I use Kubuntu, not Gnome Ubuntu, and I have no idea what she's talking about.
[20:22] <xangua> kwtm: me neither :S
[20:23] <serverduck> Hello, I uninstalled evolution mail but the icon remained in the office section. How can I remove it?
[20:23] <cousteau> maybe kicker is not running, or is running without the window list on it
[20:23] <xangua> serverduck: better not to
[20:23] <kwtm> cousteau: Kicker is the name of the bar that has all the opened programs?  Funny, that's what they call it in KDE, too.
[20:23] <serverduck> xangua, Why?
[20:23] <arand> kwtm: does she still have the topmost panel? is the place where the window list was simply blank or is the whole panel gone
[20:23] <xangua> kwtm: tell her to create a new panel and add 'window list' to it
[20:24] <cousteau> kwtm: doesn't kubuntu use kde?
[20:24] <kwtm> arand: She says "The bar for internet is OK.  All programs are shown."  I think that means the APplications menu etc. are still there.
[20:24] <kwtm> xangua: How does she do that?
[20:24] <cousteau> kwtm: ok, never mind... it's "gnome-panel", I think
[20:24] <kwtm> cousteau: Yes, Kubuntu uses KDE, so that's how I know.  I'm trying to help my mom who's using Gnome Ubuntu, as mentioned in my message above.
[20:25] <cousteau> or "gnome-panels"
[20:25] <xangua> kwtm: with right clic in a clear area in the panel :S
[20:25] <kwtm> xangua: Okay, will try.  Thx.
[20:25] <arand> kwtm: Ok, the one can right-click the top panel, select "add panel"
[20:25] <serverduck> So can someone help me delete an icon?
[20:25] <ng0n> sure
[20:25] <TheHerbert> hello, how can i hide the complete path I am in, in the terminal?
[20:25] <arand> kwtm: "new panel" rather.
[20:26] <ng0n> move to trash
[20:26] <serverduck> says operation not supported
[20:26] <ng0n> huh.
[20:26] <David-T> TheHerbert: from where? the prompt?
[20:26] <ng0n> do you have a trash bin on your status bar ?
[20:27] <kwtm> arand: Does she have to specify what type of panel, like "the kind of panel that shows all the opened programs".  (Is that the "taskbar"?)
[20:27] <David-T> TheHerbert: you need to change the prompt, which depends on the shell. for bash you need to set PS1
[20:27] <serverduck> error while copying evolutioin.desktop
[20:27] <TheHerbert> yeah the thing before the cursor =)
[20:27] <Hebram> Update Manager is offering to do a new install for linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic-pae.  Do I need to un-install and then reinstall my nvidia restricted drivers first?  I had to do this in order for the drivers to work after upgrading to the PAE enabled kernel.
[20:27] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: thats in your profile somewhere likely
[20:27] <xnt14> back
[20:27] <serverduck> I'm new to ubuntu, opened only my trash folder and dragged it there.
[20:27] <ng0n> sorry.. that's all i can suggest
[20:27] <TheHerbert> i looked in the .bashrc ... no luck
[20:27] <arand> kwtm: then right-click the new panel and "add to panel", and add "show desktop", "window list", "desktop switcher", and finally "deleted items", that should make the panel as it is normally...
[20:28] <ng0n> severduck:  you might try #ubuntu-beginners
[20:28] <xnt14> arand: nope, didn't work, and heres the pastebin for the Xorg log: http://pastebin.ca/1824176
[20:28] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: /etc/profiles to possibly or anything else you may be sourcing when you login
[20:28] <ng0n> serverduck: no offense.  i use it.
[20:28] <David-T> TheHerbert: /etc/profile seems to set PS1 here
[20:28] <serverduck> Thank you very much.
[20:28] <ng0n> d'nada.
[20:28] <kwtm> TheHerbert: If you want your prompt to be "Hello", then you type PS1="Hello"
[20:29] <arand> kwtm: Another way would be to completely reset all panels, but in that case she would loose any custom launchers/applets that was added to the top panel as well..
[20:29] <xnt14> ah, heres the error: (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.
[20:29] <kwtm> TheHerbert: Although that's not in your .bashrc, you can add your own line.  I think you have to say "export PS1=Hello" ... not sure if you need the "export"
[20:29] <dehqan> ikonia:  if /home be kept , to a user file and folders in /home ,for example to have the same desktop , should new ubuntu have the same username
[20:29] <SolarisBoy> you need the export
[20:29] <TheHerbert> what's PS1?
[20:30] <ikonia> dehqan: no, usernames and passwords are stored in /etc
[20:30] <ikonia> TheHerbert: the shell prompt
[20:30] <SolarisBoy> then would need to source your .bashrc again or log out and in
[20:30] <kwtm> SolarisBoy: Otherwise the assigned value would only last till the end of the script file, right?  I seem to remember that.
[20:30] <ClintEastWood> does ubuntu support belkin wireless cards
[20:30] <ng0n> probably
[20:30] <kwtm> TheHerbert: "PS1" is the name of a built-in environment variable (google those last 3 words).  Whatever you set it to, your prompt will become.
[20:30] <kwtm> TheHerbert: Some special text to remember:
[20:30] <SolarisBoy> kwtm: i think so
[20:30] <David-T> TheHerbert: by default it is set to PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ ' which expands to 'user@host:/full/path/to/cwd$ ' (or ending in # if you are root)
[20:31] <ClintEastWood> what is the name of the software to play windows games on ubuntu
[20:31] <TheHerbert> kewl thanks, is ther a reference how tu put there some useful information like the current dir without the complete path?
[20:31] <dehqan> ikonia: no humble mean how to use previous ubuntu desktop files on new desktop ; to have the same desktop
[20:31] <TheHerbert> David-T: thanks
[20:31] <arand> xnt14: the lines with (EE) are of specific interest, possibly #
[20:31] <SolarisBoy> you can remove the \w i guess
[20:31] <David-T> TheHerbert: man bash # and search for PS1, and PROMPTING
[20:31] <Pirate_Hunter> !lvm > Pirate_Hunter
[20:31] <arand> (EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libglx.so is the root of the problems
[20:31] <diavel> ClintEastWood: wine
[20:31] <TheHerbert> David-T: thanks =)
[20:31] <David-T> especially:               \W     the basename of the current working directory, with $HOME abbreviated with a tilde
[20:32] <ikonia> dehqan: dekstop files are noramlly stored in /home/$username
[20:32] <kwtm> TheHerbert: Some special text to remember: \h means the (Host) computer name, \u means the User name, and \w is the Working directory name (in case you want it back)
[20:32] <Hebram> ClintEastWood:  PlayOnLinux is one that is located in the Ubuntu Software Center.
[20:32] <dehqan> ikonia:  for example there is /home/desktop/iko   , should new ubuntu has iko user to have the same desktop ?
[20:32] <ClintEastWood> thnx
[20:32] <ikonia> dehqan: the path would be /home/iko/Desktop
[20:32] <arand> xnt14: ah, didn't see you already found it.
[20:32] <xnt14> hmm
[20:33] <ikonia> dehqan: and any user can use /home/iko if you tell it that user's home dir is /home/ko
[20:33] <xnt14> arand: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1390624
[20:33] <TheHerbert> kwtm: thanks aswell
[20:33] <xnt14> what do you think?
[20:33] <kwtm> David-T: man bash?  Isn't that for the #FeminaziLinux channel?  (joke! hoke!)
[20:33] <Hebram> ClintEastWood:  I believe it is a front-end for WINE.
[20:33] <Hebram> ClintEastWood:  You can also purchase Crossover.
[20:33] <cousteau> there's a bug or something on UNR karmic installer, it doesn't show the windw
[20:33] <David-T> heh
[20:33] <cousteau> the window decoration
[20:33] <dehqan> ikonia:  how to tell it ?
[20:34] <Kangarooo> how to make command not execute but just simulate (show possible output) ?

[20:34] <kwtm> guntbert: Okay.  Won't do it again, promise.
[20:34] <guntbert> kwtm: :)
[20:35] <Hebram> Update Manager is offering to do a new install for linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic-pae.  Do I need to un-install and then reinstall my nvidia restricted drivers first?  I had to do this initially in order for the drivers to work after upgrading to the PAE enabled kernel.
[20:35] <Kangarooo> how to make command not execute but just simulate (show possible output) ?
[20:36] <cousteau> UNR installation starts at 21:36
[20:36] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: depends on the command if it has that option
[20:36] <ikonia> Kangarooo: not all commands can do that, what command do you want ?
[20:36] <daftykins> Hebram: the new kernel should invoke an nvidia module being generated for it at install
[20:36] <cousteau> Kangarooo: what command?
[20:36] <guntbert> Kangarooo: depends on the command - you would have to look at man <command> to see if that is supported at all
[20:36] <Hebram> daftykins:  Thank you!
[20:37] <arand> Kangarooo: also you can use "echo command" if you want to se the expansion
[20:37] <racecar56> with vesa and nvidia drivers, my screen flickers a lot, i'm using a GeForce 8200 (integrated on a nForce 750a)
[20:37] <Kangarooo> any command. maybe they have standart option
[20:37] <dehqan> ikonia:  how to  tell it that user's home dir is /home/ko
[20:37] <Kangarooo> so echo works for all commands?
[20:37] <SolarisBoy> if you want to see the 'command' not the output
[20:37] <kwtm> arand: Thanks, have sent email to my mom.  My router is not working to accept incoming connections or I'd VNC into her machine to figure it out.
[20:38] <ikonia> dehqan: it asks you when you setup the user
[20:38] <TheHerbert> wuhar ... i about to love this CL stuff ...
[20:38] <Kangarooo> no echo just says repeats what i enter after echo. thats not usefull
[20:38] <arand> Kangarooo: e.g. "echo ls *" will show "ls file1 file2 folder2 folder2" ...etc
[20:38] <SolarisBoy> it could be
[20:39] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: in general all commands dont have a test option thats not a standard thing
[20:39] <dehqan> ikonia:  even with another username ? what will happen if we creat new iko username , will /home/iko be removed
[20:39] <Kangarooo> arand echo apt-get * also does the same..
[20:39] <racecar56> dehqan: no
[20:39] <ikonia> dehqan: no, home directorys only get removed it you tell them to
[20:39] <Giant81> hehe... sudo apt-get install *
[20:39] <arand> Kangarooo: But no otherwise you need to use the --simulate --dry-run or equal parameter for the command in question.
[20:39] <Giant81> that would rock.. install everything from everywhere
[20:40] <racecar56> dehqan: if you create the user called "user", /home/user won't get deleted
[20:40] <arand> Kangarooo: is it has one
[20:40] <racecar56> Giant81: :P
[20:40] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: for instance some package managers like apt-get or rpm have test/simulation options where nothing is done but you see what would have been done,, but all commands dont have that option
[20:40] <Kangarooo> Giant81: E: Couldn't find package Desktop
[20:40] <Giant81> lol
[20:40] <Giant81> I figured it would error
[20:40] <dehqan> racecar56:  ikonia thanks so what will happen ? it will use the previous iko folder yes ?
[20:41] <Giant81> not to mention the dependancy hell of trying to get it to work
[20:41] <hellz_bellz> !evolution
[20:41] <xnt14> hmm
[20:41] <hellz_bellz> !evolution mail
[20:41] <xnt14> *facedesk*
[20:41] <David-T> Giant81: i'm sure some combination of apt-get, apt-cache and xargs would attempt it....
[20:41] <David-T> i'm similarly sure i don't want to try
[20:41] <xnt14> hmm
[20:42] <xnt14> how do I fix the glx module? http://pastebin.ca/1824176
[20:42] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: Desktop is probably in you pwd =)
[20:42] <SolarisBoy> type 'echo *'
[20:42] <Giant81> I'm wondering what all they put into debian that expanded it to 5 DVD's... no CD... DVD!!!
[20:42] <guntbert> !ot | Giant81
[20:42] <racecar56> Giant81: oh wow...
[20:42] <Kangarooo> SolarisBoy: Desktop Documents Downloads Music out-1.ogv out.ogv Pictures Public Screenshot-1.png Screenshot-2.png Screenshot-3.png Screenshot.png sis_drv.o-410 Templates Videos
[20:43] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: see Desktop is first thats why that command tried to find Desktop =)
[20:43] <abdelrahman> I think I'm my laptop doesn't go to suspend because of fglrx, is there a way to turn it off before hibernate or suspen
[20:43] <racecar56> $ echo *
[20:43] <racecar56> *insert uncountable amount of junk here*
[20:43] <dehqan> racecar56:  ikonia thanks so what will happen ? it will use the previous iko folder yes ?
[20:43] <racecar56> dehqan: yes
[20:43] <Kangarooo> yeah if used some option to set it alphabeticaly then something else would be first
[20:43] <SolarisBoy> racecar56: your probably where a lot of junk is at in your file system
[20:44] <dehqan> racecar56:  thanks ikonia thanks
[20:44] <_Trullo> giant: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.4/i386/bt-cd/ :)
[20:44] <racecar56> SolarisBoy: it's because i'm in my home directory
[20:44] <_Trullo> maybe that's why they went dvd instead of cd :)
[20:44] <SolarisBoy> i have waaay to many . files in my home
[20:44] <racecar56> SolarisBoy: and i have lots of files
[20:45] <Kangarooo> what if ill use command > textfile.txt witll command also execute or just write text to textfile?
[20:45] <SolarisBoy> Kangarooo: the output will go to file
[20:45] <iceroot> Kangarooo: test it
[20:45] <racecar56> Kangarooo: anything the command says gets dumped to textfile.txt
[20:45] <frostburn> Kangarooo, that will execute command and write stdout to the textfile
[20:46] <racecar56> Kangarooo: except for stderr
[20:46] <frostburn> not everything, stderr will not
[20:46] <Kangarooo> iceroot: i cant think of what command to try
[20:46] <SolarisBoy> given the output is stdout..
[20:46] <iceroot> Kangarooo: anything the command is writing in STDOUT is goinng to the file
[20:46] <racecar56> Kangarooo: ls > textfile.txt
[20:46] <iceroot> Kangarooo: df > fileame
[20:46] <SolarisBoy> you would need to redirect stderr to stdout then redirect to the file for anything else
[20:46] <racecar56> Kangarooo: that will put the list of files into textfile.txt
[20:47] <SalvoMaltese> Hi all, I have a problem with the login screen, it keeps me asking for user and password, I think it's crashing, where I can see logs?
[20:48] <SalvoMaltese> anybody in?
[20:49] <DodoBird> Ask away.
[20:49] <guntbert> DodoBird: he did :-)
[20:50] <DodoBird> Oh wait, you did. Ummmm, if anything comes to mind, I'll get back to you. (not using Linux atm and my memory's not the best)
[20:50] <bdheeman> SalvoMaltese: Ctrl+Alt+F1 and login from console
[20:50] <SalvoMaltese> I can login from console
[20:50] <SalvoMaltese> but then, where to see? what logs?
[20:50] <bdheeman> SalvoMaltese: ok, check /var/log/Xorg*
[20:50] <SalvoMaltese> ok
[20:51] <histo> I want to set up a webserver where php's mail function will work to send out emails from a contact page. Is there a howto somewhere?  I don't need a fullblown email server as I use google apps for mail.
[20:51] <guntbert> histo: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[20:52] <nibbler_> hi. since i have configured 2 monitors on my laptop, i have a little info telling me which monitor has what name in each upper-left corner. how can i make this disappear? i use open drivers, so its no ati/nvidia proprietery stuff... just system->preferences->display setup .|
[20:52] <SolarisBoy> does the latest ubuntu work well with i7 processors?
[20:52] <blakkheim> SolarisBoy: why wouldn't it
[20:52] <ikonia> SolarisBoy: fine
[20:52] <Berzerker> SolarisBoy, yes
[20:52] <hellz_bellz> histo: sudo apt-get php apache
[20:52] <arand> SalvoMaltese: /var/log/gdm/:0.log might also be a possibility
[20:52] <SolarisBoy> =) thanks guys
[20:52] <SalvoMaltese> I can't see any error in the xorg.0.log
[20:52] <hellz_bellz> then goto #php
[20:52] <Stargaze> histo, look in this pdf => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/issue9_en.pdf
[20:52] <histo> hellz_bellz: guntbert I'm okay with getting the web server up and running but the mail function in php doesj't work out of the box.
[20:52] <mkquist> anyone know of software to remove duplicates files?
[20:52] <hellz_bellz> build it from source?
[20:53] <SalvoMaltese> can I shut down the x server from the console and restart it? maybe it's a login screen problem
[20:53] <SolarisBoy> mkquist: fdupes
[20:53] <bdheeman> SalvoMaltese: try $HOME/.xsession-errors* also
[20:53] <mkquist> SolarisBoy: ill give it a go, thnx
[20:53] <SolarisBoy> ok
[20:53] <johnwedd> hello peoples
[20:53] <genii> SalvoMaltese: sudo restart gdm           or: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[20:54] <SalvoMaltese> thanks, going to try it
[20:54] <trinity> hi i wanted to ask is there any satellite usb card supported in karic straight out of the box?
[20:55] <histo> Stargaze: what does that have to do with what i'm talking about?
[20:56] <blakkheim> !hcl > trinity
[20:56] <Stargaze> histo, read this for POP and IMAP => http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4653463/issue13_en.pdf
[20:56] <Stargaze> you do want a mail server, no?
[20:57] <johnwedd> hey guys, i just wanted to say that 9.10 has made me do something i wouldn't have even considered even a month ago. I did a wipe and a clean install of ubuntu, and windows has been purged from this laptop
[20:57] <Cyber_Akuma> Uhh, great?
[20:57] <SolarisBoy> johnwedd: are you happy?
[20:57] <histo> Stargaze: I don't need pop and imap
[20:57] <Cyber_Akuma> Unless Linux can run any and every modern windowx exe and directx I will never go linux only
[20:57] <Cyber_Akuma> XD
[20:57] <Stargaze> then i misunderstood, histo
[20:57] <johnwedd> well, since the wifi card worked out of the box, hellz yes i am happy
[20:57] <javatexan> help
[20:58] <twomonkies> Damn! I'm going crazy. I've lost the sound! There is no light in the optic! Anyone knows what to do?
[20:58] <ikonia> histo: you don't need a mail server at all, just tell php to use googles remote smtp service (you did say you where using google mail for a mail service)
[20:58] <SolarisBoy> johnwedd: good =)
[20:58] <etsorbme8> why did this message show up red " ikonia has kicked jp-- from #ubuntu (ban dodging is not allowed)"
[20:58] <SolarisBoy> you can just use sendmail client to send to gmail smtp no?
[20:58] <johnwedd> that and my Win 7 RC expired
[20:58] <histo> ikonia: google apps for domains for mail service. But using the php mail function for the ocntact page.
[20:59] <histo> ikonia: contact page
[20:59] <ikonia> histo: "mail services" - php mail function
[20:59] <ikonia> histo: tell the mail function to use googles mail services
[20:59] <johnwedd> thunderbird will take gmail turnkey
[20:59] <histo> ikonia: So you specify an account for sending?
[21:00] <ikonia> histo: the guys in ##php will be able to tell you if/how to use the mail function
[21:00] <histo> ikonia: k
[21:01] <guntbert> histo: you'll need to be registered for ##php - if I remember correctly
[21:01] <madwill> please why does ubuntu does not allow people to do simple cut and paste of file
[21:01] <guntbert> !register | histo
[21:01] <ikonia> madwill: it does
[21:01] <madwill> why is every folder locked
[21:01] <ikonia> madwill: it's not
[21:01] <mkquist> etsorbme8: you prob have channel events ticked to show in red?
[21:01] <ClintEastWood> if crimecraft is not in winehq directory will it not play
[21:01] <Stargaze> madwill, that's called security
[21:01] <SolarisBoy> madwill: you dont have permissions over what your opening it sounds if you see the little lock icons on them
[21:02] <madwill> well i've got some tiny little lock on every folder
[21:02] <madwill> indeed
[21:02] <SolarisBoy> madwill: you can use sudo
[21:02] <ikonia> madwill: it's not on every folder
[21:02] <madwill> how can i make the damn thing thrust me
[21:02] <madwill> command line
[21:02] <ikonia> madwill: what do you want to get into - that you can't ?
[21:02] <madwill> i want to copy over files i've got into a shared folder to a var/www
[21:03] <SolarisBoy> that needs privs
[21:03] <jibadeeha> anyone here have issues the line jack sense on a Asus EEE PC 1005ha using ubuntu 9.10
[21:03] <SolarisBoy> do it with sudo
[21:03] <madwill> i'll do
[21:03] <Stargaze> idd
[21:03] <madwill> thx
[21:03] <SolarisBoy> np
[21:03] <ikonia> madwill: ok, so you either need to a.) set the permissions on /var/www to be more open, or b.) use sudo / gksudo to move the files
[21:04] <Stargaze> madwill, remember: more open to you = more open to a pote,tian kacker
[21:04] <Stargaze> h
[21:04] <madwill> is this possible to simply share the var/www folder so i can update files from the exterior
[21:04] <meowbuntu> hi all
[21:04] <SolarisBoy> madwill: its possible
[21:04] <Stargaze> madwill, remember: more open to you = more open to a potential hacker
[21:04] <cousteau> UNR installation ended at 22:04
[21:04] <guntbert> madwill: possible but very insecure
[21:04] <histo> guntbert: I am
[21:04] <cousteau> or almost
[21:04] <madwill> i guess i would be more vulnerable to hackers
[21:04] <SolarisBoy> VERY insecure to share that location
[21:05] <guntbert> histo: my bad - I misread :-)
[21:05] <madwill> thx i'm a coder and we lost our network/installation guy....
[21:05] <David-T> well, it depends what you mean by share. using something like scp is generally secure
[21:05] <madwill> got a lot to learn
[21:05] <cousteau> I'm gonna uninstall a lot of things, though, like F-Spot and Rhythmbox
[21:05] <Stargaze> !scp
[21:05] <SolarisBoy> madwill: some use ftp/sftp accounts to push code over to web roots
[21:05] <madwill> good idea
[21:05] <Stargaze> well, learned something new: scp :)
[21:06] <SolarisBoy> scp as well but that doesn't provide the ftp like commands
[21:06] <madwill> still googling that
[21:06] <SolarisBoy> sftp is secure and provides the ftp command line over same ssh tunnel
[21:06] <bin1010> how do I make a recovery CD so when windows screws up grub I can recover it?  ;)
[21:06] <meowbuntu> hi today when i booted up my computer straight away the cpu was maxed out after the default system services are loaded. what is going rong
[21:06] <racecar56> i sort of fixed my flicker problem, it turns out my comp was overclocked so i made it normal and it flickers a lot less
[21:07] <ikonia> bin1010: the normal ubuntu install CD can be used
[21:07] <bin1010> will it have all my grub settings
[21:07] <ikonia> bin1010: errrr they are on your disk
[21:07] <meowbuntu> i have tried looking in top but i find it confusing because all the processes are jumping in and out. i cant really see what is running.
[21:07] <SolarisBoy> meowbuntu: you can sort top
[21:08] <SolarisBoy> meowbuntu: type 'h'
[21:08] <bin1010> i just need the recovery  to fix the mbr stuff though, right?
[21:08] <_flake> ok guys, im having issues connecting to a wireless network that aint broadcasting the SSID, when the SSID is broadcast it connects just fine, im running karmic
[21:08] <guntbert> meowbuntu: or use htop
[21:08] <meowbuntu> h
[21:08] <SolarisBoy> guntbert: =) that too
[21:08] <mkquist> meowbuntu: ps -A | less
[21:08] <SolarisBoy> you can sort ps to FYI.. for top memory, or cpu consuming processes
[21:08] <guntbert> meowbuntu: you type h in the top display , not here :-)
[21:08] <cdw32> hello all, i am having troubles playing videos on my laptop with Hardy.
[21:09] <SolarisBoy> hehehehe
[21:09] <cdw32> can anyone point me in the right direction
[21:09] <moonshadow> Hi. I'm trying to configure my Tablet (had it running in Jaunty), and I need the ServerLayout section in xorg.conf, but there isn't one. I'm clueless. was it moved?
[21:09] <evident> hi everybody... can anybody tell me how I can copy a local file to a directory on a server over ssh?
[21:09] <onaogh> hi ubuntu
[21:09] <meowbuntu> guntbert: htop not installed
[21:10] <SolarisBoy> evident: with scp its more difficult using plain ssh
[21:10] <guntbert> !video | cdw32 did you see
[21:10] <SolarisBoy> evident: scp file user@host:/place/ihave/permissions/to
[21:10] <evident> ok thank you
[21:10] <guntbert> meowbuntu: sudo apt-get install htop will install it
[21:10] <meowbuntu> guntbert: are there any other comands that show all the system processes running.
[21:10] <TheHerbert> what do i need to do do reduce my comand line history? so that if i typed the same command for ten times, it is saved only when it differs from the last one
[21:10] <meowbuntu> yes ok guntbert i fugured
[21:11] <xnt14> hmm, with the 190.53 nvidia driver installed, libglx.so loads, but whenever I run libglx, the computer freezes. http://pastebin.ca/1824229 any solution?
[21:11] <guntbert> meowbuntu: ps aux | less
[21:11] <SolarisBoy> evident: FYI you can "pull" files doing it the reverse scp user@host:/file/i/want /tmp
[21:11] <xnt14> err
[21:11] <xnt14> *glxinfo
[21:11] <moonshadow> TheHerbert - why not type it once and reuse it? or write a bash script?
[21:11] <SalvoMaltese> No way, no error in Xorg.log neither gdm restart works
[21:11] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: there is an option for that...
[21:11] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: one sec..
[21:12] <TheHerbert> i have to use one command again and again, manually, with up and enter, that's ok
[21:12] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: export HISTCONTROL=$HISTCONTROL${HISTCONTROL+,}ignoredups
[21:12] <SalvoMaltese> so i get gdm -> something wrong -> gdm
[21:12] <meowbuntu> thanks guntbert i woke up on teh rong side of teh bed today Yawn
[21:12] <TheHerbert> in my bashrc?
[21:12] <SolarisBoy> the ignoredups part argument.. yes... or some file sourced by..
[21:12] <guntbert> meowbuntu: *under* it ? ;-)
[21:12] <SalvoMaltese> anything to look for before reinstalling?
[21:13] <meowbuntu> guntbert: htop not installed  ps aux | less
[21:13] <meowbuntu> ps aux | less
[21:13] <coldfire> can somehelp me enable a password on grub2? i dont want anyone to be able to use root by dropping down to runlvl 1
[21:13] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: that disnt do it =(
[21:13] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: source .bashrc
[21:14] <SolarisBoy> or export that on the command line manually to make it effective now then try history again
[21:14] <histo> ikonia: wouldn't I still need a mail server for that?
[21:14] <TheHerbert> yes i added it to my .bashrc
[21:14] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: source .bashrc
[21:14] <nibbler> how can i make a on-top logo appear on my screen? like without window decoration just sitting in the corner
[21:14] <zykes-> anyone here configured dhcp with failover ?
[21:14] <cdw32> most of the videos are in avi format. Movie Player freezes and MPlayer movie Player isnt working at all....
[21:15] <madwill> what is a good mail server for ubuntu ?
[21:15] <SalvoMaltese> join #ubuntu-it
[21:15] <meowbuntu> guntbert: i whish there was an application like xps alt+ctrl+delete gives (forgotten name) with all teh processes easy to see and disabled. i get a headache reading terminal output
[21:15] <nikkkkkki> hey guys how can i archive my whole htdocs folder via ssh?
[21:15] <SolarisBoy> madwill: postfix is nice
[21:15] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: what do you mean
[21:15] <iceroot> nikkkkkki: rsync
[21:15] <madwill> thx
[21:15] <nibbler> nikkkkkki, rsync -av /path user@remotehost:/path
[21:15] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: "source .bashrc"
[21:15] <meowbuntu> maby it got something to do with all the updates ubuntu has done
[21:16] <nikkkkkki> nibbler: this mean it download he content?
[21:16] <SolarisBoy> type the command to reload your profile from this file
[21:16] <bin1010> how to make ubuntu rescue cd
[21:16] <TheHerbert> kay no clue
[21:16] <nibbler> nikkkkkki, first parameter is source, 2nd ist destination....
[21:16] <bin1010> or just use install iso
[21:16] <Cyber_Akuma> I installed Ubunu on my friend's laptop (he wanted to try it) and the sound was off, it was like it was overloading the speakers(static/muffled), but it still sounded just.... off.... when the volume was turned down... not to mention it was very low volume then. Is this a common problem?
[21:16] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: or copy and paste the export line onto a command terminal and press enter
[21:16] <nikkkkkki> nibbler: it would be tar or?
[21:17] <TheHerbert> did that
[21:17] <SolarisBoy> nikkkkkki: thats not archiving
[21:17] <meowbuntu> guntbert: i never know what i ned and dont need so when updatemanager pops up i usually just install everthing. could that be my problem
[21:17] <SolarisBoy> nikkkkkki: thats syncing
[21:17] <nikkkkkki> but i need archive
[21:17] <nibbler> nikkkkkki, this is not involving tar (yet) but just copy from host-a to host-b
[21:17] <SolarisBoy> nikkkkkki: you can execute commands over ssh
[21:17] <meowbuntu> *so when update manager
[21:17] <nikkkkkki> tar zcf backup.tar.gz htdocs
[21:17] <SolarisBoy> nikkkkkki: ssh user@host "tar cf /path/to/htdocs"
[21:18] <nikkkkkki> nibbler: i work in a max
[21:18] <nikkkkkki> i buld a ar & wget it
[21:18] <meowbuntu> arg i was getting help from guntbert
[21:18] <wasutton3_> whats the command to change cpu frequency to a different value?
[21:18] <nibbler> nikkkkkki, you started talking about ssh
[21:18] <nibbler> wasutton3_, shutdown -h now changes to 0MHz
[21:19] <Cyber_Akuma> Anyone?
[21:19] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: okay i did that, now luck yet. if i write ten times the same command, i have to press 'up' ten times to get to the previous .. still
[21:19] <iceroot> nibbler: stop that!
[21:19] <meowbuntu> Cyber_Akuma: ask
[21:19] <meowbuntu> !ask
[21:19] <wasutton3_> nibbler: thats not terribly helpful. im looking more for frequency scaling
[21:19] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: hmmm
[21:19] <mcdermott> how do i install wine or playonlinux if ubuntu software center says that my hardware does not support either
[21:19] <iceroot> wasutton3_: maybe cpufreq  will help you
[21:20] <meowbuntu> !ask | ubottu
[21:20] <SolarisBoy> thats odd works for me you may need the whole thing... let me see
[21:20] <iceroot> mcdermott: what is "sudo apt-get install wine" telling?
[21:20] <blakkheim> mcdermott: what arch are you running
[21:20] <nibbler> Cyber_Akuma, try to set all the meters to like 90% - one beeing at 100% can cause this
[21:20] <meowbuntu> iceroot: thats not the latest verson of wine its old
[21:20] <Cyber_Akuma> I tried turning down sound
[21:20] <Cyber_Akuma> didnt help
[21:20] <Cyber_Akuma> It still sounded off
[21:20] <blakkheim> meowbuntu: ubuntu usually has old versions of stuff
[21:20] <iceroot> meowbuntu: no
[21:21] <histo> So if I install postfix will that just open me up for people using it to send spam?
[21:21] <Cyber_Akuma> I mean, when I was set at about 80-90% the static stopped, but it still didnt sound very good quality
[21:21] <iceroot> meowbuntu: just depnding on the repo he is using, the command is always the same
[21:21] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: export HISTCONTROL=$HISTCONTROL${HISTCONTROL+,}ignoredups && export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth && HISTTIMEFORMAT='%F %T ' thats all that i export thats HISTORY related
[21:21] <nibbler> Cyber_Akuma, how dows it "sound off"? its totally silent? ithought it was muffled
[21:21] <iceroot> histo: not by default
[21:21] <mcdermott> its isntalling
[21:21] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: okay i'll try that
[21:21] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: try those without the && just put one on each line you already have the ignoredups... just add other 2
[21:21] <histo> iceroot: How do I tell it what account to send the mail out with?
[21:21] <SolarisBoy> k
[21:22] <histo> iceroot: I'm going to use it from a contact page using php's mail function.
[21:22] <iceroot> histo: maybe have a look at #postfix
[21:22] <Guitch> how to change the resolution of the windows of a game; i'm on 800x600 and i can not change into an other resolution, there is no choice
[21:22] <meowbuntu> ok i get your point
[21:23] <vanishing> !lucid
[21:23] <wasutton3_> do scripts inside "/etc/laptop-mode/batt-start" run as user or as root?
[21:23] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: thanks, now it works
[21:23] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: cool
[21:23] <l7> does f-spot have no concept of folders?
[21:24] <l7> it seems like you have to use tags for everything, weird
[21:24] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: now you can see the time you typed command too ;>
[21:24] <meowbuntu> but that still does not solve my cpu issues. its not even overclocked.
[21:24] <Blou_Aap> does any one get steam games to work on ubuntu
[21:24] <Blou_Aap> coz im battling
[21:24] <iceroot> Blou_Aap: yes

[21:24] <vanishing> Blou_Aap: heard mw2 works
[21:24] <TheHerbert> SolarisBoy: no =)
[21:24] <Blou_Aap> it says cant create D3D device
[21:24] <SolarisBoy> TheHerbert: oh =(
[21:24] <donvito2> * CAN'T WRITE TO TEMP DIR
[21:24] <donvito2> than my eggdrop dont run
[21:25] <TheHerbert> maybe because my PS1 is set to PS1='\u @ \W: '
[21:25] <meowbuntu> donvito2: dont shout please
[21:25] <trism> l7: try gthumb if you want to navigate images by folder
[21:25] <iceroot> Blou_Aap: directx installed?
[21:25] <TheHerbert> yeah it's too loud
[21:25] <Blou_Aap> yes
[21:26] <SolarisBoy> PS1="$grey[$lightGreen$(date +%H%M)$grey][$UNAME_COLOR\u$grey@$purple\h$grey]$lightGrey \W $SYMBOL_COLOR$SYMBOL$none" <--my PS1
[21:27] <ikonia> histo: no, it would just send mail directly to the remote smtp relay
[21:27] <blizzkid> popey: you here?
[21:27] <popey> blizzkid: maybe :)
[21:27] <histo> ikonia: k so I would just have to update the form i'm using then.
[21:27] <blizzkid> popey: can I msg you about UDS?
[21:27] <popey> blizzkid: of course
[21:28] <histo> ikonia: all mail from the contact page would appear to come from my user.
[21:28] <ikonia> histo: just the parameters you pass to mail
[21:28] <suigeneris> how do I get the bazaar version of a package?
[21:28] <ikonia> histo: depends how you setup the mail function, as I said ##php can help with that

[21:29] <histo> ikonia: That would create issues with the message coming from the wrong person
[21:29] <meowbuntu> arg i hate this !@#$%^&* computer
[21:29] <iceroot> Blou_Aap: 3d driver installed?
[21:29] <TheHerbert> is there a way to view the history?

[21:31] <ghenry> even enabled just wep on my Draytek 2820n router
[21:31] <nvsbl> can someone here help me downgrade from lucid?
[21:31] <blakkheim> nvsbl: you can't
[21:31] <vanishing> nvsbl: im afraid you cant...
[21:31] <iceroot> ghenry: nm-applet is working without problems. what about posting usefull errors/details?
[21:32] <ghenry> blakkheim: maybe. I've not tried any other network, but all other in house are ok
[21:32] <iceroot> nvsbl: #ubuntu+1
[21:32] <Maranatha> what is the sudo command for the nvidia x server settings
[21:32] <rainer_> hiy
[21:32] <ghenry> iceroot: will do
[21:32] <iceroot> nvsbl: ah sorry, downgrade, didnt read
[21:32] <iceroot> Maranatha: gksudo nvidiaTABTAB  something like nvidia-x-settings
[21:32] <nvsbl> if i can't expressly downgrade, is there a proper way to go about reinstalling karmic, keeping my home partition as it is?
[21:32] <ZykoticK9> Maranatha, "gksu nvidia-settings" re-message if you get "Failed to parse" error on saving
[21:33] <Lappie> i would like to have 4 workspaces, whats the easiest way to do so
[21:33] <Maranatha> ok thanks :)
[21:33] <blakkheim> Lappie: what window manager?
[21:33] <tisepti> does anyone know how to automate iso production from a series of files with a script?
[21:33] <Lappie> compiz?
[21:33] <ghenry> iceroot blakkheim hmmm: NetworkManager: <info>  Activation (eth2) failed.
[21:34] <ghenry> Maybe driver
[21:34] <Maranatha> it worked TY :)
[21:34] <soreau> Lappie: You can have 4 workspaces with metacity, but you wont see too much (if any) animation when switching them
[21:34] <HorizonXP> in 9.10, how do i enable Gnome's remote desktop via SSH/command line?
[21:34] <HorizonXP> i tried gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true
[21:35] <HorizonXP> didn't seem to enable it
[21:35] <DonaldShimoda> anybody knows wich setting control the virtual terminals (that one appears with CTRL+ALT+F1 please?
[21:35] <evident> i am having a problem with my ssh-ports... I edited the ssh_config and sshd_config in my /etc/ssh and added "Port xxxx" with the port I want to use for my ssh instead of the standard port 22. After this I restarted ssh with "/etc/init.d/ssh restart". After logging out I can log in with the new port, but still also with the old one (22). Can anybody tell me how this comes? "Port 22" isnt written anywhere in my config file...
[21:35] <DonaldShimoda> stop working after upgrading my kernel to a own compiled one
[21:35] <evident> (i am having this problem on a vroot server, not a local system)

[21:35] <soreau> ! pm | Lappie
[21:36] <Lappie> sorry i just ment to direct it to u
[21:36] <Lappie> not msg it to u

[21:36] <Damo> hey
[21:36] <ikonia> !u | Lappie
[21:36] <soreau> Lappie: In any event, compiz supports many more than 4 but you would have to set it up through ccsm
[21:36] <Damo> wats the best desktop for linu? kde, gnome or what?
[21:37] <Damo> linux\

[21:37] <soreau> ! best | Damo
[21:37] <milos_> would removing 'devicekit-power' package be a bad idea? can't upgrade without removing it.
[21:37] <vanishing> milos_: dont remove it
[21:37] <milos_> vanishing: ok,
[21:38] <vanishing> milos_: just wait till the dependency issue sorts out
[21:38] <milos_> vanishing: I'll wait, ok
[21:38] <vanishing> milos_: btw..are you in lucid?
[21:38] <milos_> vanishing: yup
[21:38] <evident> might it be that I have two separate "instances" of ssh running? Can I find out somehow?
[21:38] <vanishing> milos_: same thing here..lol.
[21:38] <milos_> vanishing: I'm tempted with new themes
[21:38] <milos_> :)
[21:39] <vanishing> milos_: amazing ehh?
[21:39] <Lappie> hmm. i dont see any options there for it, am i lookin at the wrong thing, sys/pref/compizconfig settings manager
[21:39] <milos_> yeah

[21:40] <brettins> Hey guys, i'm having trouble with my ALSA install.  I ran apt-get install libasound2 alsa-utils alsa-oss  to install it initially, but many directories and commands don't seem to be in place.  "alsaconf" gives command not found,     and "alsamixer" gives the message alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory. The "/proc/asound" directory that seems to be referred to does not exist.    I tried purging
[21:40] <brettins>  and then installing again but the same problems persist.
[21:40] <HorizonXP> ok, the command worked, but I can't connect; how do I change the setting to allow me to connect without prompting or password?
[21:41] <DonaldShimoda> fbianconi, tjanls
[21:41] <DonaldShimoda> thanks
[21:41] <xfact> How to recognise which KDE version is installed in my Ubuntu? (Karmic) Is that KDE 4.3 or 4.4?
[21:42] <wasutton3_> how do i run a script when i unplug my laptop?
[21:42] <jordy240> hey does anyone knwo how I can setup a webcam so it only records when there is motion?
[21:43] <Ganymede> xfact, "dpkg -l | grep kde" maybe
[21:43] <Ganymede> xfact, i'm on karmic and i see: 4.3.2
[21:43] <kamil> halo
[21:44] <histo> ikonia: I found a solution. postfix is overkill btw
[21:44] <Lappie> i am using ccsm 0.8.2 if this helps any
[21:44] <xfact> Ganymede, Yup, thanks
[21:44] <histo> ikonia: esmtp, ssmtp, nullmailer all will accomplish what I want with out a full MTA. These are just MSA's
[21:44] <wasutton3_> how do i run a program (that normally needs sudo) as a regular user?
[21:45] <kamil> siema
[21:45] <vanishing> wasutton3_: take off sudo
[21:45] <Guest46893> hola
[21:45] <kamil> co tam ??
[21:45] <Lappie> i do see number of desktops under the desktop size tab in general options, but it says 1, and i already have 2
[21:45] <Guest46893> hola e donde son
[21:46] <wasutton3_> vanishing: no i mean a script that requires root priviliges to normally run i.e. cpufreq-selector
[21:46] <Lappie> and i cannot change that number
[21:46] <David-T> wasutton3_: you can either: a) run it as root; b) run it from a regular user using sudo; c) run it as a regular user (without using sudo); d) run it as a regular user with fakeroot.  Whether any of these actually does what you want depends on what you're trying to do
[21:46] <vanishing> wasutton3_: oh that..
[21:46] <vanishing> wasutton3_: so you want to change cup freq without typing in a password?
[21:47] <David-T> ah. then you probably either want to configure sudo to let you run that without a password, or make it setuid root and executable only by a group
[21:48] <wasutton3_> vanishing: yep thats the idea. ideally automatically when the charger is unplugged
[21:48] <Lappie> do i need to set the number of workspaces with gconfigtool-2?
[21:48] <vanishing> wasutton3_: try this: http://www.webupd8.org/2009/10/how-to-disable-disable-cpu-frequency.html
[21:48] <evident> how do i remove a folder that is not empty?
[21:48] <vanishing> wasutton3_: if that doesnt work, try this: http://linux.aldeby.org/do-not-require-the-password-for-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu-karmic-9-10.html
[21:49] <wasutton3_> vanishing: that would work, except im looking for it to run at its lowest on battery and maximum when plugged in
[21:49] <eklof> I tested booting the ubuntu install cd on the macbook after partitioning a fat-partition using bootcamp, and the auto-suggestion said it detected mac os x and the choosen option was to install them side by side and choosing at startup. but what does it do? Does it try to install grub and would that work, or will it install the bootloader in the partition and let me use bootcamp to choose linux at startup? Anyone tried.
[21:50] <donvito2> how to make a folder readable and writable
[21:50] <vanishing> wasutton3_: oh...ugh...that maybe require some tweaking with scripts...

[21:51] <wasutton3_> vanishing: i know, thats not the problem. the problem is where do i put them, and do they run as root or as the regular user?
[21:52] <ghenry> iceroot: blakkheim Nothing wrong with nm after all ;-)
[21:52] <ghenry> cheers all
[21:52] <iceroot> ghenry: as i said, nm-applet is working :)

[21:52] <ghenry> iceroot: heh, aye.
[21:52] <vanishing> wasutton3_: ugh...if you follow that post, you might not need sudo..
[21:52] <vanishing> wasutton3_: but still need the script

[22:01] <bjhaid> how do i create a root account on my ubunut machine?
[22:01] <Warp4> bjhaid use 'passwd root'
[22:01] <Warp4> bjhaid rather 'sudo passwd root'
[22:01] <erUSUL> !undelete | sharperguy
[22:02] <revelnick> Warp4 Ubuntu LTS
[22:02] <sharperguy> erUSUL, thanks
[22:02] <Warp4> revelnick same thing
[22:02] <erUSUL> !rootpassword | Warp4
[22:02] <Warp4> revelnick the root account is there, just no password
[22:02] <Warp4> i know that erUSUL
[22:02] <seanbrystone_> how do i mount a windows share? (its not really windows its my other Ubuntu thats in the other room)
[22:02] <bjhaid> thanks Warp4
[22:02] <Lappie> one last question for the day from me i have the cube thingy checked in ccsm, how do i use it?
[22:03] <erUSUL> Warp4: then why are you suggesting here to enable the root accaunt?. that is an unsupported configuration
[22:03] <blakkheim> erUSUL: he was just answering someone's question
[22:03] <Warp4> erUSUL i was simply answering his question as direct as possible
[22:03] <erUSUL> seanbrystone_: Places>Network>windows Network
[22:03] <revelnick> warp4, i'm asking a different question
[22:03] <xnt14> I'm trying to load glx on my Nvidia G105M, I can login, but when I run glxinfo in a terminal, the computer freezes. How do I fix this?
[22:03] <bjhaid> erUSUL how do i create a root account then?
[22:04] <Warp4> yes, revelnick?
[22:04] <luxii> hi
[22:04] <erUSUL> bjhaid: you do not need one.
[22:04] <Lappie> i want to be able to zoom out to the cube just like the youtube vid and the website shows, how do i do this?
[22:04] <CairoUser> I don't know if this is the place to ask but, does anyone know how to move Cairo dock out from under the bottom taskbar?
[22:04] <Warp4> bjhaid the account exists already
[22:04] <bad_cables> hi
[22:04] <blakkheim> "how do i..?" "you don't need.." :/
[22:04] <genii> bjhaid: Keep in mind ubuntu is laid out in a way to use sudo always for admin tasks and not to be needing root account or password for anything. Also we do not support ubuntu which the user is running as root
[22:04] <bad_cables> my hard disk won't boot ubuntu
[22:04] <revelnick> trying to add a user with a user name that was previously used, and i am not prompted to enter details for the new user
[22:04] <Warp4> revelnick that's right
[22:05] <bad_cables> it was working 100% with 9.04 and now it just boots to a shell
[22:05] <Warp4> revelnick what parameters are you passing with the adduser?
[22:05] <revelnick> just a name
[22:05] <luxii> Do I live in inlaterra and you?
[22:05] <Warp4> revelnick thats correct
[22:05] <blakkheim> !ot | luxii
[22:05] <revelnick> so removing a user doesn't remove a user then, it just disables the user?
[22:06] <bjhaid> genii I am trying to create a file in my etc account, created it with touch on my terminal but it would not allow me save since sudo does not have the roots permission outside the terminal
[22:06] <bad_cables> !hard disk
[22:06] <seanbrystone> erUSUL, i cant seem to mount the share, ive gone to the folder in nautilus but it refuses to let me mount it
[22:06] <luxii> my name  is Luxi
[22:06] <Warp4> revelnick depends on what you specify on the userdel command line
[22:06] <Warp4> if you dont specify the option, it removes them from the /etc/passwd and /etc/group files
[22:06] <bad_cables> what does it mean when you just see the logo and then you get a busybox shell?
[22:06] <Warp4> bad_cables it means ruh roh :)
[22:06] <Warp4> bad_cables esp if you just booted the machine :)
[22:06] <bad_cables> mechanical or software?
[22:06] <revelnick> warp4, thanks, i'll try to furthur delete the old user
[22:06] <erUSUL> bad_cables: probably unable to mount the root device for some reason
[22:07] <genii> bjhaid: Use sudo -i      or sudo -l                    then after whatever commands use "exit"
[22:07] <luxii> hi
[22:07] <erUSUL> bad_cables: if you do crtl + D in the busybox shell does the machine continue booting?
[22:07] <luxii> hellooo
[22:07] <bad_cables> no idea
[22:07] <mcdermott> hello
[22:07] <sharperguy> I don't understand how testdisk can have so many different filesystems but no option for ext2/3...
[22:07] <mcdermott> i installed wine

[22:07] <bjhaid> i dont get you genii, i created a conf file, want to add a text to it and save, how do i do that
[22:08] <bad_cables> should i download a new boot CD?
[22:08] <mcdermott> how do i run software now that it shows the game on the desktop as a dvd
[22:08] <histo> Can you do a server install from the mini.iso?
[22:08] <luxii> Your can you speak Spanish?
[22:08] <mcdermott> i clicked on setup
[22:08] <mcdermott> but nothing is happening
[22:08] <genii> luxii: The spanish channel is #ubuntu-es   this is the english channel
[22:08] <seanbrystone> how hard can it be to share a folder from one Ubuntu to the next, and both ubuntu's are 9.10!
[22:08] <CairoUser> so far for Cairo Docks position I've only found how to move it left and right.
[22:08] <erUSUL> seanbrystone: what error do you get?
[22:09] <bad_cables> let me try and CTRL-D erUSUL
[22:09] <luxii> should i download a new boot CD?

[22:09] <histo> seanbrystone: how did you share the folder?
[22:09] <luxii> should i download a new boot CD?
 how do i run software now that it shows the game on the desktop as a dvd
[22:09] <erUSUL> bjhaid: launcvh the editor with sudo/gksudo
[22:09] <genii> bjhaid: eg:  sudo -i               cp confilewhatever /to/someplace with restricted write access like /etc
[22:09] <luxii> hii
[22:09] <seanbrystone> histo right clicked the folder
[22:09] <luxii> hello
[22:09] <histo> seanbrystone: and on the other machine go to places > Network and just browse to the share
[22:09] <genii> bjhaid: then: exit
[22:09] <luxii> hola
[22:09] <luxii> yo hablo español
[22:09] <FloodBot1> luxii: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:09] <luxii> y ustedes?
[22:09] <seanbrystone> histo yeah i see the share, just wont let me mount it
[22:10] <erUSUL> luxii: te van a hechar
[22:10] <blakkheim> luxii is going on ignore
[22:10] <luxii> Espanihs
[22:10] <genii> luxii: More spanish here will earn you a ban
[22:10] <histo> seanbrystone: when you double click it you get an error?
[22:10] <CairoUser> ok. I found how to move the Cairo Dock vertical :)
[22:10] <histo> seanbrystone: or are you trying to mount from terminal?
[22:10] <genii> luxii: Use spanish in #ubuntu-es and use english in #ubuntu
[22:10] <seanbrystone> histo double click
[22:11] <histo> seanbrystone: what is the error you are getting
[22:11] <seanbrystone> do i need samba?
[22:11] <histo> seanbrystone: depends if you created a samba share then you atleast need smbfs on the client
[22:11] <seanbrystone> Unable to mount location, file doesnt exist
[22:11] <seanbrystone> oh
[22:11] <seanbrystone> well ubuntu wouldnt let me share without installing samba
[22:12] <seanbrystone> which i find odd
[22:12] <histo> seanbrystone: sry smbclient
[22:12] <revelnick> Warp4, i was confusing useradd with adduser :) thanks for the help
[22:12] <seanbrystone> k on sec histo
[22:12] <Warp4> revelnick sure thing
[22:12] <histo> seanbrystone:You can share without samba but the default sharing is with samba I believe
[22:13] <seanbrystone> histo it says its the newest, already installed
[22:13] <histo> seanbrystone: jsut intsall smbclient
[22:13] <Warp4> anyone else running OpenVPN AS with Ubuntu Server 9.1 by any chance?
[22:13] <histo> seanbrystone: open a terminal and try to mount it manually
[22:13] <erUSUL> seanbrystone: any ore luck if you use Places>connect to Server ?

[22:14] <mcdermott> ive downloaded WINE..... I have a game I would like to PLAY.... how do I install something with WINE???
[22:14] <histo> seanbrystone: sudo mkdir /mnt/share && sudo mount -t cifs //ip_of_server/folder_name /mnt/share
[22:14] <histo> mcdermott: you can double click on the setup exe and tell it to open with wine
[22:15] <histo> mcdermott: or you can open a terminal and wine name_of_file.exe
[22:15] <mcdermott> great thanx
[22:15] <oranosx> hey, can anyone tell me how to play sound through headphones/external speakers in Karmic?
[22:15] <luxii> yo hablo español
[22:15] <mcdermott> now i need to get some more ram to play
[22:15] <histo> mcdermott: more help in #winehq
[22:15] <histo> mcdermott: what game?
[22:15] <seanbrystone> ursul it wants a domain and password, how do i find domain name?
[22:15] <root_> hi all
[22:16] <mcdermott> CrimeCraft
[22:16] <mcdermott> free to play
[22:16] <mcdermott> fps mmo
[22:16] <SolarisBoy> seanbrystone: thats the domain name to whichever host sits that owns the share
[22:16] <seanbrystone> ok so whats the command to get the domain name?
[22:16] <SolarisBoy> it may be using WORKGROUP model as well
[22:17] <histo> mcdermott: if you meet system specs for it you should be okay.
[22:17] <SolarisBoy> you would need to know which type of setup is on the windows side
[22:17] <seanbrystone> no its not windows
[22:17] <tunai> i somehos muted voices and cant find how to un mute
[22:18] <SolarisBoy> seanbrystone: and if the share is user/password protected and under active directory you need an account with permissions and need to know the domain name...you may be able to smbscan the network and find something out..
[22:20] <blakkheim> thank you for fixing that
[22:20] <blakkheim> :/
[22:20] <bazhang> heh
[22:20] <blakkheim> genii: you banned everyone

[22:21] <AndyGraybeal> is there anyway i can lock the desktop in such a way that nobody can add a directory or edit the names of the directories that are currently there?  i want them to be able to edit files inside the directories that are there though.
[22:21] <AndyGraybeal> i just want the desktop locked down.
[22:23] <Andy80> a GRUB question: suppose I've Ubuntu 9.04 running with / in a partition. Suppose that I've another Ubuntu version on another partition but Ubuntu 9.04 doesn't have it in menu.lst, what is the safest/easiest way to make the second installation available in the other grub menu?
[22:23] <genii> blakkheim: Yes the shortcut I use for ban made no value for the user "luxii" when i used it since they had left, so having no value there it went global values
[22:24] <lnkgyv> hello
[22:24] <genii> blakkheim: Sorted out now
[22:24] <nwillems> Can anybody help me with finding my way around bugzilla?
[22:24] <histo> Can you install a server from the mini.iso ?
[22:24] <jileen> hello
[22:25] <erUSUL> histo: probably
[22:25] <thoma323> ciao
[22:25] <thoma323> !lista
[22:25] <thoma323> !bot
[22:26] <GeekSquid> Nwillems: ubuntu uses launchpad.net for bug reporting, bugzilla is not for ubuntu projects, and is not supported here
[22:26] <oranosx> can anyone help me with getting my headphones to work?
[22:27] <oranosx> that is, have Ubuntu play to them?
[22:27] <nwillems> GeekSquid, well I thought maybee this active channel could help me out - can you point me in any direction? I'm looking to learn how to use it as a developer, and while learning trying to fix some bugs in tomcat
[22:27] <lnkgyv> why in kubuntu, when I set use proxy server for konqueror and then disable this (use direct connect) the package updater for download new packages (all do in gui) still use proxy and then give error: cannot connect to .... that is my proxy?
[22:27] <r3c4ll_> somebody with experience in libvirt?
[22:27] <r3c4ll_> using bridges?
[22:27] <r3c4ll_> no NAT
[22:28] <Altreus> Hey, where do I change the default terminal shell?
[22:28] <rohith>   Installed Ubuntu via WUBI, uninstalled using WUBI. A large portion of my hard drive is still being used
[22:28] <GeekSquid> Nwillems: this channel is only active bc ubuntu is a popular distro... #tomcat would be a better place for uour subject
[22:29] <lnkgyv> ssory, my distib is Kubuntu Karmic 9.10
[22:29] <r3c4ll_> nobody has using libvirt, virt-manager?
[22:30] <nwillems> GeekSquid, sadly that is not a very active channel, thats why I asked here secondly, tried tomcat first
[22:30] <vhann> Hi, I can't find how to get the system to ask users to change their password on first login (Ubuntu 9.10 using gdm + gnome)
[22:30] <erUSUL> Altreus: run « chsh »
[22:31] <Altreus> danke
[22:31] <vhann> Anybody knows if it is at all possible?
[22:31] <Jordan> HELP :O
[22:32] <vhann> Oh
[22:32] <bazhang> Jordan, with what
[22:32] <Guest61529> ok so exim4 is sending a mail through gmail every 5 secconds because of my crons
[22:32] <vhann> it's in passwd manpage, sorry all
[22:32] <Altreus> erUSUL: Do you know when this takes effect? A new terminal is not using it. Do I have to close all terminals?
[22:32] <Guest61529> Bazhang: ok so exim4 is sending a mail through gmail every 5 secconds because of my crons
[22:32] <erUSUL> Altreus: log out and log in
[22:32] <Altreus> erUSUL: of Gnome?
[22:32] <Jordan123> So therefore my gmail gets banned.
[22:32] <erUSUL> Altreus: yes of your session
[22:32] <GeekSquid> Nwillems: many participants in this channel are new to linux, others are just reading so they can learn, and still others are here to help, I'm pretty certain there aren't any tomcat SME
[22:32] <Jordan123> because of stupid smtp limits.
[22:33] <Altreus> erUSUL: Thanks, will do
[22:33] <erUSUL> Jordan123: configure exim to send email only once in a while (i guess it is possible)
[22:33] <SolarisBoy> erUSUL: shouldn't he check the crontab?
[22:34] <Jordan123> See the cron results get sent to root@localhost
[22:34] <Jordan123> *root@server
[22:34] <erUSUL> Jordan123: i thought he really wanted that  mail to go out
[22:34] <Jordan123> I don't want the crons going out
[22:34] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: is localhost exim?
[22:34] <Jordan123> localhost exim?
[22:34] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: is exim relaying mail to gmail?
[22:34] <econdude> Howdy!
[22:34] <Jordan123> yes.
[22:34] <Jordan123> SolarisBoy: Yes.
[22:34] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: so check cron
[22:34] <Jordan123> check cron for what?
[22:35] <econdude> Can anyone recommend a Linux-native XLS password remover? I created a sheet this morning and forgot the password :-X
[22:35] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: do you have an entry that sends mail each 5 seconds?
[22:35] <Jordan123> no
[22:35] <Jordan123> it sends what happens on my otehr crons
[22:35] <erUSUL> econdude: this morning... not even last week ;P
[22:35] <Jordan123> say i have a cron for sphinx it sends one that says that it works.
[22:35] <Jordan123> So basicly
[22:35] <Jordan123> It sends a mail to root@server
[22:35] <Jordan123> As in it wants to send mail to root@server
[22:35] <SolarisBoy> Jordan123: well you can remove the MAILTO= line in crontab to i believe
[22:36] <Jordan123> I don't have a mailto line in crontab.
[22:36] <econdude> erUSUL: I agree! Pathetic :-( Now I'm stuck tho. I saved it as XLS from OO.Org, and completely forgot it
[22:36] <SolarisBoy> hm
[22:36] <erUSUL> econdude: sorry i do not know of such a tool ...
[22:36] <Altreus> Success. Thakns :)
[22:37] <lnkgyv> how stop periodic sending system email to root@localhost, admin@localhost?
[22:37] <Jordan123> wait
[22:37] <Naruto> i can't watch video on my navigator , please help me
[22:37] <Jordan123> wtf where is crontab config
[22:38] <econdude> Does anyone else know of a usable tool?
[22:38] <SolarisBoy> crontab -e
[22:39] <defsdoor> are they any know issues with apt segfaulting atm in lucid ?
[22:39] <wcdl> how to watch quicktime videos ?
[22:39] <bazhang> defsdoor, lucid support in #ubuntu+1
[22:39] <psycho_oreos> !lucid | defsdoor
[22:39] <GeekSquid> !lucid
[22:39] <defsdoor> sorry - just read subject :)
[22:40] <psycho_oreos> wcdl, you need quicktime codec
[22:40] <wcdl> on ubuntu
[22:40] <tere> ola
[22:40] <HSorgYves> morning; is there a command to set the permissions to 777 for folders and 666 for files recursively?
 on ubuntu
[22:40] <tere> aaaaaaaaaaaaa+
[22:40] <psycho_oreos> yes on ubuntu, it might be in w32codec
[22:40] <erUSUL> !es | testi_
[22:41] <wcdl> already have w32codecs and all codecs u can imagine
[22:41] <erUSUL> testi_: sorry; tab completion mistake
[22:41] <wcdl> and using geckomediaplayer
[22:41] <SolarisBoy> HSorgYves: yes chmod -R
[22:41] <wcdl> but nothing
[22:41] <psycho_oreos> wcdl, tried playing it through vlc?
 i'm sorry, is on webbrowsers
[22:42] <HSorgYves> SolarisBoy: chmod -R doesn't make a difference between folders/files; if i use "chmod -R 777 folder" then everything will be 777 even my files which should be 666
[22:42] <bazhang> wcdl, apple trailers?
[22:42] <wcdl> yes
[22:42] <bazhang> you need to wget them iirc
[22:43] <Jordan123> Guys
[22:43] <SolarisBoy> oh sorry i didn't notice you said _AND_
[22:43] <Jordan123> I added the mailto thing and it still sends stuff
[22:43] <wcdl> let me test
[22:43] <Jordan123> test what?
[22:44] <psycho_oreos> wcdl, which browser, firefox?
[22:44] <unop> HSorgYves,  find /path/to/dir -type d -exec chmod 777 {} +  ;  find /path/to/dir -type f -exec chmod 666 {} +
[22:44] <wcdl> firefox google-chrome
[22:44] <rohith> I have Installed Ubuntu via WUBI, I uninstalled Ubuntu using WUBI. Now when i boot up i automatically go into windows
[22:44] <rohith> My Problemm
[22:44] <rohith> All of my files on my hard drive add up to 16gig(i did this by hand)
[22:44] <rohith>  but my computer says im using 23gig(right clicked and went to properties on the C drive)
[22:44] <FloodBot1> rohith: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:44] <wcdl> chromium
[22:44] <HSorgYves> unop: thx
[22:44] <SolarisBoy> unop: =)
[22:44] <nicolas> hi everyone i got problem to install farsight 2 someone can help me ^
[22:44] <nicolas> ?
[22:45] <bazhang> nicolas, windows game?
[22:45] <superfirelord42> rohith: did you empty your recycler bin?
[22:45] <unop> HSorgYves, or ... chmod -R 666 /path/to/dir;  chmod -R +X /path/to/dir
[22:45] <psycho_oreos> chromium isn't officially supported here, so I'll support firefox, if you check about:plugins you'll see there should be entries pointing towards totem/divx and if you installed mplayer along with the firefox plugin you'll also get mplayer support in firefox
[22:45] <nicolas> bazhang:  no its the add on for audio/video in amsn you need this to get it work
[22:46] <hiexpo> good afternoon eveyone
[22:46] <nicolas> configure: error: Need libnice >= 0.0.9 i got this when i try  to install farsight2
[22:46] <Jordan123> woot
[22:46] <superfirelord42> !private | rohith
[22:46] <Jordan123> I used the dev null code and it wrote it there
[22:47] <rohith> ah.. my bad.. im like a super noob
[22:47] <superfirelord42> rohith: no major prob, reason is twofold, one is so if someone gives absolutly horrible advice, others can hopefully stop them from killing a computer
[22:48] <Kangarooo> i know i can output a command to file like command > textfile also theres pastebinit witch upload output to pastebin.com like command | pastebinit but can i output to launchpad ?
[22:48] <bazhang> Kangarooo, for bugs?
[22:49] <rohith> I emptied the recycle bin.. There was only 1mb of stuff in there
[22:49] <superfirelord42> rohith: reading where wubi stores stuff, hold on
[22:49] <rohith> alright.. Thanks
[22:49] <superfirelord42> rohith: i assume you did the uninstall from the Add/Remove programs. What version windows did you install wubi on?
[22:50] <Kangarooo> bazhang: for example in LP bug report someone ask me to do some command. i can do command and output paste to bug or output make to file and upload file. but easyr would be like command | ubuntu-bug bugnumber or just command | ubuntu-bug and in LP i would search the bug i want the files to be added to.
[22:50] <Paineless> i need a USB Driver for my blackberry in Ubuntu
[22:50] <superfirelord42> rohith: check for a c:\ubuntu folder, unless you did a non-standard install
[22:51] <rohith> Windows XP Home Edition... I deleted that file
[22:51] <hiexpo> nicolas, sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0.1600.3 glib
[22:51] <nicolas> hiexpo:  its ok i got it but now its gstreamer lol
[22:52] <superfirelord42> rohith: you deleted the file after you ran the uninstaller?
[22:52] <hiexpo> ok
[22:52] <rohith> Yes
[22:52] <superfirelord42> hmm, strange that it would leave the file there after the uninstall...
[22:53] <bazhang> Kangarooo, not certain there, especially as you have to have a launchpad account and be logged in to respond, as far as I know
[22:53] <nicolas> hiexpo:  ok i got it to work but now its python
[22:53] <rohith> I uninstalled via an .exe file called ubuntu-uninstall not the add remove programs
[22:53] <superfirelord42> rohith: is it still in your add/remove programs? thats the recommended removal technique
[22:53] <rohith> I deleted the files my self after i ran the un-installer
[22:54] <pilotbubbles> if someone could PM me about setting up the M Audio KeyStudio 49 USB for playback under audacity or ardour you would be the man or woman
[22:54] <rohith> Im checking the list is being populated
[22:55] <brokenbeat> .I just found a PD external to control jack transport.
[22:55] <rohith> Ubuntu is gone from the list
[22:55] <superfirelord42> rohith: do you see a c:\wubildr?
[22:56] <abo> when I'm watching youtube (or other streaming) how can I make the screen not dim and switch off?
[22:56] <rohith> No... but saw that file before i ran the un-installer
[22:56] <HSorgYves> unop: even better, thx
[22:56] <superfirelord42> rohith: those are where it saves stuff, hold on one more second...
[22:57] <rohith> sure
[22:57] <Kangarooo> bazhang: yes of course i need to be loged in. but so now there isnt such command like pastebinit only for launchpad ?
[22:57] <superfirelord42> rohith: thats a clean install, the only explanation i can think of could be NTFS corruption. this can be caused by improper shutdown on the computer
[22:58] <bazhang> Kangarooo, not to my knowledge, at least regarding pastebinit
[22:58] <superfirelord42> rohith: to fix this, you need to have to have windows run a chkdsk /r, generally it will ask you to do a boot time scan. do so. when it is done, it may have a large file or two in the recovered folder, or you may just have accurate free space. either way, it should fix it.
[22:58] <rohith> Alright.. Do you think Ubuntu un-installed completely?
[22:59] <ambit> is there a way to jump from hardy (8.04) to karmic from through an upgrade?
[22:59] <Ganymede> does anyone know of a fuse filesystem that mounts not one tar/rar/7z/zip archive but mirrors a directory and expands all archives into browseable folders?
[22:59] <superfirelord42> rohith: yes, unless you still see an option to boot into ubuntu when you start, it is completely removed. i hope you install a ubuntu sometime again. I like it at least. :P
[22:59] <rohith> Yea.. im going to install it again
[23:00] <GeekSquid> Kangarooo: pastebin.com changed their api, so change /usr/bin/pastebinit default pastebin to pastebin.ca.. fixes it

[23:07] <Heimdall> Hello, someone in here knows Perl and xChat ? :P
[23:07] <soreau> rohith: All radeon cards from the old 7000 to the r5xx series cards have 3D support OOTB on 9.10 with the open radeon driver. In Lucid, it will also have 3D support for hd2-4xxx cards as well. Alternatively, there is the proprietary fglrx driver that only supports hd2-4xxx
[23:08] <iceroot> Heimdall: #perl #xchat
[23:08] <soreau> rohith: Which card do you have?
[23:08] <jileen> what is the best irc client for ubuntu ?
[23:08] <rohith> I had 8.something... and let me check
[23:08] <Heimdall> iceroot, thx =)
[23:08] <bazhang> jileen, no best, matter of opinion

[23:08] <bazhang> waltercool, lucid support in #ubuntu+1
[23:09] <waltercool> thanks
[23:09] <jileen> bazhang what irc client do you use ?
[23:09] <lantizia> Does anyone else get an issue where the window manager drags the wrong window around (i.e. not the one you selected?)
[23:09] <bazhang> jileen, xchat
[23:09] <jileen> thx bazhang
[23:09] <decto> lantizia, many issues but not that
[23:09] <claws> i Have now...problems launching ksnake... it say something about child process. any qlue ?
[23:09] <rohith> ATI Mobility radeon x300
[23:10] <lantizia> decto, I think it's only when visual settings is set to None
[23:10] <soreau> ! who | rohith
[23:11] <lantizia> decto, say you've had firefox full screen on 1 screen, and VLC full screen on another... you go for drag VLC down (so it restores from maximized) and instead your cursor jumps over to firefox
[23:11] <soreau> rohith: The fglrx driver does not support that card on 9.10. You will have to use the open radeon driver, which should have already been working
[23:11] <Paineless> bazhang~ ok, its installed. now what
[23:11] <claws> i Have now...problems launching ksnake... it say something about child process. any qlue ?
[23:11] <rohith> soreau:  ATI Mobility radeon x300
[23:12] <soreau> rohith: Are you trying to run a specific program that requires direct rendering?
[23:12] <bazhang> Paineless, its a command line utility, perhaps it has a help file or a manual page (no blackberry here, sorry not help more)
[23:12] <rohith> No.. I was trying to get desktop effects working..
[23:12] <Paineless> bazhang~ np thanks
[23:13] <datz> Hi, just coming back to confirm that apt-get update didn't install kernel updates... was talking to chili(something) yesterday
[23:13] <soreau> rohith: Did you install or attempt to install fglrx at any point on this install?
[23:13] <blakkheim> datz: apt-get doesn't upgrade anything
[23:13] <blakkheim> datz: apt-get update doesn't upgrade anything

[23:14] <jileen> i just installed ubuntu karmic on a acer aspire one eeepc (intel GM945 video card) and the display is very bad, how i can do to have better display ?
[23:14] <soreau> rohith: 9.10 does not come with fglrx pre-installed

[23:17] <claws> i need to turn of some kind of child filtering stuff
[23:17] <soreau> rohith: Then there's not much I can help you with. My recommendation would be to install a recent version of ubuntu fresh
[23:17] <njbair> have any issues come up recently with nvidia drivers? Mine stopped working out of the blue this week.
[23:17] <soreau> rohith: Compiz should work even on a live cd of 9.10 with your card
[23:18] <soreau> rohith: out of the box, without installing any driver (it's already installed)
[23:18] <claws> so...nobody knows anything about child process ?
[23:18] <rohith> Alright... How can i create a partion.. (Last time installed within windows lots of issues)
[23:18] <datz> abo: try : SYstem -> Preferences -> Screensaver

[23:19] <python> claws, what are you referring to?
[23:19] <sonywaperita> español??
[23:19] <datz> no, english

[23:22] <silentx> i'm testing ... :#
[23:22] <rohith> soreau: I already have new version on Ubuntu on a CD

[23:23] <blakkheim> sonywaperita: english only
[23:23] <cousteau> escribe:   /join #ubuntu-es
[23:23] <python> claws: do you have ktron installed?
[23:24] <soreau> rohith: Ok, so boot it and start installing it. When you get to the partitioning section, just install over your old ubuntu install
[23:24] <claws> python: let me check that out
[23:24] <Paineless> ok, so i installed barry-util, anyone know how to use it command line ? trying to use my blackberry in ubuntu
[23:24] <danial> how do we install bin file in ubuntu 9.10
[23:25] <rohith> soreau: I had a single partition... I installed with in windows
[23:25] <SomeoneE1se> is there a way to enable a non root user to use the bluetooth device or do I need to run the programs as root?
[23:25] <jileen> i just installed ubuntu karmic on a acer aspire one eeepc (intel GM945 video card) and the display is very bad, how i can do to have better display ?
[23:26] <CyberGabber> Paineless: Try in terminal:  man barry-util
[23:27] <chelz> two more months!
[23:27] <histo> IS there still a server kernel in 9.10?
[23:27] <Paineless> CyberGabber~ No manual entry for barry-util
[23:27] <soreau> rohith: Ah well that just means you'll have slower more problematic linux
[23:27] <blakkheim> Paineless: dpkg -S barry-util | grep man
[23:28] <soreau> rohith: Just uninstall it through windows, then install it with your live cd. It can automatically shrink your window partition and install ubuntu on an ext file system
[23:28] <Paineless> blakkheim~ ok it just went to the next prompt
[23:28] <histo> nvm I found it.
[23:28] <histo> pae
[23:28] <blakkheim> Paineless: then i don't think there is any manpages included with it
[23:29] <Paineless> blakkheim~ Barry is a GPL C++ library for interfacing with the RIM BlackBerry Handheld
[23:29] <Paineless> blakkheim~ do you think im supposed to compile something ?
[23:29] <sebsebseb> Hi
[23:29] <marie-louise> how can i turn off the sound during booting up?
[23:30] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: system > preferences > sound and some where in there I think
[23:30] <MindVirus> Whenever I kill maximus, some daemon restarts it. Can someone help me find the root of this?
[23:31] <CyberGabber> Paineless: Maybe:  barry-util --help
[23:31] <Paineless> blakkheim~ here's the debian details site : http://packages.debian.org/sid/utils/barry-util
[23:31] <fbianconi> MindVirus, what is maximus?
[23:32] <movicont> it's in the netbook remix
[23:32] <movicont> and makes the windows maximize
[23:32] <Paineless> CyberGabber~ same "command not found"
[23:32] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: i already muted "alert volume" so i don't get any sounds while logging in, but how do i turn off the sound which comes when GDM starts up?
[23:32] <Lappie> i was here a lil ago and asked about the cube effects of ccsm, and quite obviously i did not know much about it, well, i just wondered why no body bothered to tell me that i had to hit ctrl and alt then l mouse click to see the cube?
[23:32] <rohith> soreau: I installed Ubuntu inside windows.. I have completely removed it... Im trying to re-install it on a separate partition, So I have the option to create a partition during the installation?
[23:33] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: not sure about that one, but you could change to another one that doesn't have a sound, such as KDM, the KDE one
[23:33] <soreau> rohith: Yes. in fact, ubuntu can automate this process for you and guess some good sizes based on your pc setup
[23:33] <cousteau> speaking of which, is there any work in progress for a "de-wubi" tool?
[23:34] <coldfire> Can someone help me encrypt a file? i made the key but when i right click on the file there is no enrypt option
[23:34] <Paineless> CyberGabber, blakkheim~ i looked through my /usr/bin, there is no executable for it
[23:34] <rohith> soreau: awsome.. Is this a user friendly? or should i get out an other computer while i install the it?
[23:35] <DanDare> Hello. I using Ubuntu8 Live CD to rescue some files on NTFS partition. It's _secure_ to record files on NTFS partitions in this version of Ubuntu ?
[23:35] <CyberGabber> Paineless: "command not found" ?  Type the part: barr   en press TABkey twice, does it present the tool?
[23:35] <sebsebseb> DanDare: secure?
[23:35] <Flonne> hey does anyone know if there is a way to check current upload/download speed from a terminal
[23:35] <Flonne> ?
[23:35] <Paineless> CyberGabber~ no it doesn't, there is no executable for it to present
[23:36] <DanDare> sebsebseb: Its realiable? Can I damage file system by recording/deleting files on the NTFS partition ?
[23:36] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: but i don't want to change
[23:36] <sebsebseb> DanDare: as long as your Windows install  was shut down properly,  should be no problem to access the partition using that Live CD,  and then do what you want to do with the files
[23:36] <DanDare> sebsebseb: ok thanks
[23:36] <sebsebseb> DanDare: it's fine to use  a  Ubuntu 7.10 or later  CD for what you want to do
[23:37] <DanDare> sebsebseb: I remember in the past the NTFS file system support warns you about not using it to make changes on NTFS
[23:37] <Lappie> my point is that there are many noobs that dont know much about anything linux, incl ubuntu, and some of us dont get much out of reading pages and pages of info esp when were looking for something specific, and , when learning windows i found that sometimes with (good intentions) advanced settings n things were changed w/o the person knowing what the heck they were doing, this is not a complaint or a whine, its just a suggestion
[23:37] <Lappie> , please remember to cover the basics when helping someone ok
[23:38] <sebsebseb> Lappie: I just joined here a little while ago, I wonder who all of that, was to
[23:38] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: Ok why do you  want GDM to not make any sound?
[23:39] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntupocketguide.com/index_main.html Lappie here are some basics
[23:39] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: because it is annoying
[23:39] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: Are you new to Ubuntu?  Is 9.10 your first version?
[23:40] <Lappie> no on in specific, i just wanted to remind that some of us noobs arent as savy as most of the peeps here trying to help and that if they would ask some basic questions like, for me instance, do you know how to see the cube when you switch between workspaces, i would have said no
[23:40] <Lappie> but i did not know how to phrase my issue, because like i said, i am very much a noob
[23:40] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: no i have been using gentoo for the last two years, but i've never used gdm before
[23:40] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: oh
[23:40] <bazhang> Lappie, well reading the guide I linked you would eliminate many of those issues
[23:41] <sebsebseb> marie-louise: 9.10 uses a later version of GDM,  which is not that customizalbe compared to the old version.
[23:41] <aeiou> is there a guide anywhere that explains how to correctly configure a server so that its secure to give out shh access to users?
[23:41] <histo> aeiou: you can use keys or you can use fail2ban
[23:41] <histo> !ssh | aeiou
[23:41] <histo> aeiou: I like fail2ban
[23:41] <Lappie> thats all i was saying, i do believe you guys are doing a great job, and bazhang, like i said, i dont get much from reading pages and pages of info when its a totally new enviroment, like learning a new language wo learning some of the basic words n such
[23:41] <Dunkirk> marie-louise: I've been on Gentoo for the past 4 years. I, too, would like to silence GDM. Unfortunately, the gdm which ships with Ubuntu is really stripped down in the ability to configure things.
[23:42] <aeiou> histo, i meant more about securing the server, so users with access cannot destroy everything
[23:42] <bazhang> Lappie, reading is required. that is a great resource I linked you to
[23:42] <Lappie> infact, i dont even know how to pronounce ubuntu i think its u-bunt-u :)
[23:42] <marie-louise> Dunkirk: so it's impossible to mute it?!
[23:42] <marie-louise> sebsebseb: i see
[23:42] <Lappie> ty i will deff check it out, but im more of a hands on person
[23:42] <Dunkirk> marie-louise: I'm looking around in /etc/gdm...
[23:43] <fbianconi> marie-louise, http://tacticalvim.wordpress.com/2009/11/27/disable-gdm-ready-sound-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic/
[23:43] <Lappie> i crashed win 3.x millions of times, but by the time i was finished i could tell someone just about anything about it
[23:43] <rohith> soreau: Thanks for the help/info im going to re-install Ubuntu now
[23:44] <Nallep_> I just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on a compaq presario 900, and it loads grub but then the screen goes black and nothing happens.  How do I fix this?
[23:44] <Lappie> again, i am very greatfull of everyons help, and please keep it up,
[23:44] <kimberly> hi all
[23:44] <Younder> Nallep_, try booting into text mode
[23:44] <kimberly> anyone know of logitech webcam drivers for ubuntu?
[23:45] <fabien> Hello all
[23:45] <srinath_man> Nallep_: Recovery Mode
[23:45] <Younder> Nallep_, at the grub prompt choose edit and add a -text option
[23:45] <fabien> I use dualscreen but I have two cursors. Any idea ?
[23:45] <Younder> Nallep_, well it sound like it doesn't recognize your graphics driver
[23:46] <aeiou> are there any good ACL guides?
[23:46] <Dunkirk> marie-louise: I'm not finding anything.
[23:46] <Nallep_> ok I'm booting into recovery mode, I'm at the recovery menu
[23:46] <marie-louise> Dunkirk: hold on
[23:46] <CyberGabber> Paineless: I have no answer to your issue, but maybe you have to read this, (search for barry-util on this site): http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1265727.html
[23:46] <Younder> aeiou: ACL?
[23:46] <Dunkirk> I also note that they removed the ability to use GDM to remote-login to other systems with XDMCP (or whatever it was).
[23:46] <aeiou> access control lists
[23:47] <rohith> What version supports ati radeon mobility x300 (I want to use desktop effects)
[23:47] <aeiou> i want to setup a server that i can give ssh access to the users, but want to secure it so they arent able to trash the server
[23:47] <Dunkirk> fabien: Lucky you! Some people pay extra for that!
[23:47] <Lappie> ohh nice guide good suggestion bazhang, i just might get something out of this :)
[23:48] <Nallep_> Younder, srinath_man I have a root shell now,
[23:48] <Dunkirk> aeiou: You may be interested in rssh.
