[03:50] <Pretto> unop: gksu  nvidia-settings works
[03:50] <unop> Pretto, not sure - I would start looking in the forums to see if anyone else has had similar issues
[03:51] <Pretto> unop: i did it, alacarte has a bug report about this, but it is a private bug
[03:51] <myk_robinson> Hey. My laptop still boots to the login screen in record time, but seems to be slow going from login to desktop. Any ideas as to what may be causing the sudden lag?
[03:53] <tripelb> CNN Soccer is DARK.  Please help. (9.10, chrome) http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/Sports/ID=1520450207 -- wont play. (soccer match highlights) Youtube works.
[03:53] <tripelb> Why does the liveCD of 10.04 take 5 times as long as the liveCD of 9.04 to boot up?
[03:53] <Kangarooo> tripelb: maybe cd damaged?
[03:55] <tripelb> I cant tell. The iso file is good but it's really hard to check the CD on Ubuntu. Easy on windows but I havent had a windows machine available to check it Kangarooo
[03:55] <tripelb> Kangarooo, fie! (have you heard of this before?)
[03:55] <Kangarooo> tripelb: live cd shouldnt be longer loading then 9.04. somethings strange. check md5sum and is cd good. is on the comp u try 10.04 the same comp u tryd 9.04 ?
[03:56] <Kangarooo> tripelb: no i havent
[03:57] <tripelb> Kangarooo, yes, same computer. I cant md5sum the cd. I spent a long time here and trying.. found a webpage and there's a long extensive struggle to check a cd. -- as I said, easy on windows, run md5sum and get a checksum. Check it.
[03:57] <Promythyus> I'm looking for a method to monitor bandwidth usage and IP connections from each internal IP through my gateway server, any suggestions?
[03:58] <tripelb> Kangarooo, thanks for your help (in case I'm gone) I will look back here.
[03:58] <Kangarooo> tripelb: when loading cd theres option start live cd and also check the cd option . use that.
[03:58] <HermanDE> Promythyus, simple script to capture the current count....
[03:59] <HermanDE> Promythyus, Or do you want a graph.....  CACTI seems to work well with really purty graphs....
[03:59] <enav> hello i need some orientations.....  this friday i was designed
[04:00] <Promythyus> HermanDE: Graphs will be good, I'll look up this CACTI
[04:00] <HermanDE> Promythyus, MRTG is a standard package.....
[04:00] <Kangarooo> tripelb: if cd check shows all is ok then some drivers have changed since versions. maybe u have intel mashine or some other HW that has now some change in driver.
[04:00] <HermanDE> MRTG is a much smaller package/system...  Both provide a web page....
[04:00] <syk> i keep getting this error evertime i apt-get install or remove a package http://paste.ubuntu.com/448975/ and ive tried this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1346581 and still doesnt get rid of it
[04:00] <HermanDE> Promythyus, Cacti is a complete web application....
[04:01] <RPG-Master> would any gurus here be cool enough to build me a deb of the latest version of digikam? :)
[04:01] <HermanDE> Promythyus, MRTG is a Cron based script that updates a web page.....
[04:01] <Kangarooo> how to change resolution with command thrue tty/ssh? ive lost screen.
[04:01] <enav> hello i need some orientations.....  this friday i was designed to migrate an entire office from Windows to Ubuntu... that is cool... but they want the office working like windows authentication model... i mean active directory to save users and apply administrative templates.... and so forth....   give me some links or ideas to implement ubuntu in my office
[04:01] <Promythyus> HermanDE: Cacti looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks :)

[04:02] <SReject> Q: Am looking for Vinyl AC'97 codec combo drivers for a sound card (running ubuntu 10.04 on a work station)
[04:04] <dayrot> So, my wireless cards show up, but they are disabled and I can't seem to find any way to enable them...
[04:04] <adhdkid> dayrot, what kind?
[04:05] <dayrot> broadcom bcm4303 and a Ralink rt2500
[04:05] <zkriesse> !wireless|dayrot
[04:05] <dayrot> ok thanks, I'll be back if that doesn't help
[04:06] <zkriesse> dayrot: :D
[04:06] <HermanDE> enav, OpenLDAP + NSS + NFS + KRB + MySQL (As a backend to the LDAP)...
[04:07] <HermanDE> enav, Ensure all of the NFS homes are located on the server....
[04:07] <HermanDE> enav, Ensure you have enough hardware to act as an NFS server for X number of clients....
[04:08] <HermanDE> enav, Have X on a different server than the NFS server.....
[04:08] <enav> HermanDE: can you give me a link  ?
[04:08] <HermanDE> enav, Have X run remote for each client....
[04:08] <HermanDE> enav, Uh.....  My suggestion is to read up on NFS first....
[04:08] <enav> HermanDE:ubuntu nsf
[04:08] <HermanDE> enav, Then follow up with DHCP....DNS...
[04:09] <HermanDE> enav, This is standard stuff for most Unix systems.....
[04:09] <HermanDE> enav, That would be Network File Sharing...
[04:09] <enav> ok
[04:09] <HermanDE> enav, It could be a project that runs across a week....
[04:10] <HermanDE> enav, if you have experience....
[04:10] <enav> i dont want to simulate a windows network i want to migrate to the linux solution
[04:10] <enav> but i dont know what is it exactly
[04:10] <morph3us> ActionParsnip, may i talk to u in private?
[04:10] <HermanDE> enav, Yep...  First really big question....  Do you want local systems or store everything on the server?
[04:11] <enav> well i guess local and remote
[04:11] <HermanDE> enav, Local System....  Each client has all applications installed...  And management means going to each system and updating/configuring....
[04:12] <HermanDE> enav, Remote Client....  Everything is on the server....  Make a change on the server...  And it immediately affects all users......
[04:12] <enav> Windows client can connect with LDAP?
[04:13] <HermanDE> enav, Uh....  Sure....  If you hook it with samba...  And do a bit of magic depending on your clients.....
[04:13] <enav> hum
[04:14] <HermanDE> enav, Are you looking for something that will just 'WORK" out of the box?
[04:14] <switchgirl> how do i find out what port my DAAP share is on?
[04:14] <tripelb> Kangarooo, BRILLIANT. Use check the cd option. thanks.
[04:14] <enav> first i want to know what is the name of the model of a ubuntu solution for offices  like Windows Active directory
[04:15] <enav> i mean Windows = ActiveDirectory   but Linux = ?????
[04:15] <lucero> HOLA
[04:15] <lucero> HI
[04:15] <lucero> CIAO
[04:15] <lucero> EVERY
[04:15] <lucero> TODOS
[04:15] <FloodBot3> lucero: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:16] <HermanDE> enav, ActiveDirectory is a specialized LDAP server.....
[04:16] <lucero> HI
[04:16] <HermanDE> enav, They are not the same...   But both can store and serve elements.....
[04:17] <lucero> ALL
[04:17] <lucero> HI
[04:17] <enav> that means that LDAP can apply administrative templates and policies to user just like M$ ActiveDirectory does?
[04:17] <HermanDE> enav, One is directly hooked into the Windows system.  The other does not know the proper API for Windows.....
[04:18] <rafaelsoaresbr> hello, doesn't ubuntu have g77 anymore? to work with netbeans
[04:18] <HermanDE> enav, That is simply strange.....  LDAP does not contain templates....  That is a Microsoft API thing.....
[04:19] <HermanDE> enav, Microsoft doesn't want *anybody* to have their precious API information.....
[04:19] <HermanDE> enav, The new version of Samba should have the ActiveDirectory emulation......
[04:19] <enav> well i need to do some long reading by my self first...
[04:19] <dayrot> zkriesse: I installed a proprietary driver for the broadcom card, but still no luck. It shows both of my cards, but it says wireless disabled.
[04:19] <HermanDE> enav, Yep.....
[04:20] <HermanDE> enav, As cool as Linux is....  It is not Windows.....
[04:20] <HermanDE> enav, And windows is not Linux....
[04:20] <dayrot> isn't that why it's cool?
[04:20] <SReject> Q: Am looking for Vinyl AC'97 codec combo drivers for an on board sound device (running ubuntu 2.6.32-22-generic on a work station)
[04:20] <enav> i got hired in a big hospital in my town... and my boss ask to us how to migrate the entire hospital to ubuntu
[04:20] <zkriesse> dayrot: Can you not enable it?
[04:20] <HermanDE> enav, A proper Linux network will require less work...  And have a higher level of Security.....
[04:20] <dayrot> zkriesse, nope
[04:21] <HermanDE> enav, Ongoing work that is.....
[04:21] <dayrot> it doesn't give me the option
[04:21] <SReject> Like, I hae sound, but i think ubuntu used a generic driver, b/c when i play music/videos, the sound quality is very low
[04:21] <enav> im happy for that because i love ubuntu and it comunity
[04:21] <zkriesse> !ot > HermanDE
[04:21] <zkriesse> dayrot: Please run the command lspci in your terminal
[04:21] <dayrot> on sec

[04:22] <jdsbluedevl> hi, I'm trying to reinstall Ubuntu on a fresh install, but I'm running into a big problem.  When the installer tries to configure the network, it keeps popping up as "Network authentication failed".  Can someone help me with this?
[04:22] <dayrot> zkriesse, http://pastebin.org/327147
[04:23] <jdsbluedevl> I'm sorry, I meant "network autoconfiguration failed"
[04:23] <Pretto> can anyone help with this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/448985/
[04:23] <HermanDE> zkriesse, Ok...  I'll stop helping people who believe that Windows=Ubuntu
[04:23] <alexh10> lol
[04:23] <zkriesse> HermanDE: Thats not what I meant
[04:24] <HermanDE> zkriesse, Did you see his original question?
[04:24] <enav> HermanDE: who is poking to you?
[04:24] <zkriesse> dayrot: Ok I see your card but I've no idea why it's not there
[04:24] <HermanDE> zkriesse, Use your scroll function....
[04:24] <dayrot> zkriesse, yeah, that's why it's weird
[04:25] <zkriesse> dayrot: Are you sure you downloaded the right driver?
[04:25] <HermanDE> enav, No worries....
[04:25] <dayrot> it was the one that was automatically detected
[04:25] <HermanDE> enav, You are at the begining of a large learing curve....  And will need any help you can get...
[04:26] <zkriesse> enav: New to ubuntu?

[04:35] <tycel> yeah
[04:35] <theadmin> jackfruit_bill: Uh yeah, we didn't change the themes, only added 2 new ones
[04:35] <tycel> was about to say
[04:36] <HermanDE> tycel, chroot is a bit of a beast the first time....
[04:36] <tycel> ubuntu and debian are close enough still that most ubutnu guides work for debian still

[04:37] <tycel> hm
[04:37] <ChrisNZL> Is there an application that will essentially devote all resources to running an application, and get rid of thigns like the GUI for the duration of the application use?
[04:37] <tycel> alright
[04:37] <Gnea> ne7work: please to not be PMing me without asking first
[04:37] <HermanDE> tycel, My world scares most people....  :)

[04:38] <tycel> well i thought i hti a mile stone when i set my own nameservers up
[04:38] <tycel> XD
[04:38] <ne7work> Gnea, what is wicd?

[04:39] <tycel> lol
[04:39] <tycel> nice
[04:39] <HermanDE> tycel, On 4 servers......  :)

[04:39] <patx> kbrosnan, where are those?
[04:39] <tycel> neg
[04:39] <bastid_raZor> tycel: unbound ?
[04:40] <tycel> nope
[04:40] <ChrisNZL> Is there some way of getting rid of the all the GUI stuff for one session?
[04:40] <tycel> lol
[04:40] <HermanDE> tycel, I've been doing this stuff long enough to want to become a forest ranger...
[04:40] <kbrosnan> patx: no idea of the top of my head
[04:40] <Gnea> tycel: just a quickie - you might stay off of the radar of people who care when you type a lot and use enter a lot :)
[04:40] <tycel> k
[04:40] <patx> ok...
[04:40] <patx> Where are the default GNOME icons?
[04:40] <Baribal_> ChrisNZL, like sudo services gdm stop?
[04:40] <tycel> Gnea: yeah, old habits are hard to break though:)
[04:40] <Gnea> ChrisNZL: yeah, just choose the Xterm session when you login
[04:41] <Gnea> tycel: hard, but not impossible ;)
[04:41] <HermanDE> tycel, Which DNS server did you use?
[04:41] <ChrisNZL> Thanks, will have a look.
[04:41] <tycel> bind9
[04:41] <rww> patx: package gnome-icon-theme, file location /usr/share/icons/gnome/
[04:41] <patx> thank u
[04:41] <enav> what a "company wiki" is for
[04:42] <HermanDE> tycel, going large... :)   I cut my teeth on BIND4/8....Been trying to put them back in since....
[04:42] <ne7work_> Gnea, hello what is wicd?
[04:42] <tycel> bind is the only DNS program I have ever used, powerdns and everything else couldnt get to work right
[04:42] <Gnea> !info wicd | ne7work_
[04:43] <hiexpo> ne7work_, is a network manager
[04:43] <tycel> so several hundred tutorials and a lot of trial and error got my name server working for one of my domains, not my other one ^^
[04:43] <Gnea> ne7work: it's basically a drop-in replacement for NetworkManager - if it's installed, then NM is not
[04:43] <HermanDE> tycel, I've started a love affair with DNSMASQ....
[04:43] <HermanDE> tycel, Are you running a public DNS?
[04:43] <Gnea> ne7work_: ^^^
[04:43] <datz> hi, I can access my network share of my ubuntu install on my windows box, but not on my other ubuntu box, do I need to configure something. I get "unable to mount location"
[04:43] <ne7work_> Gnea, I uninstall mine network-manager with sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[04:43] <tycel> I'm not sure whatcha mean?:)
[04:43] <ne7work_> this is the problem?
[04:44] <HermanDE> tycel, Is your DNS server within your local lan....  Only accessable to you...  Or is it publicly accessable?
[04:44] <tycel> public is my guess
[04:44] <ne7work_> i'm with real static ip with pppoe
[04:45] <tycel> considering im running it off a VPS
[04:45] <HermanDE> tycel, Good choice...  DNSMASQ is more for local DNSs...
[04:45] <Gnea> ne7work_: yes, that is the problem. you should be able to use wicd or networkmanager to handle a static ip with pppoe. personally, I prefer wicd.
[04:46] <daedaluz> how did I access the Gnome control panel where all settings were?
[04:46] <HermanDE> datz, Do you have the samba client installed on the machine that is not connecting?
[04:46] <nawk> what driver package do I have to install to get my Logitech ClickSmart 310 working?
[04:46] <Gnea> wicd is just more straight-forward, easier to use and it just plain *works*
[04:46] <nawk> I'd like to get my webcam working with Skype by tonight
[04:47] <nawk> !webcam
[04:47] <datz> HermanDE: I'm not sure.
[04:47] <datz> HermanDE: I was just using "network" from places menu
[04:47] <datz> I should install samba..
[04:48] <HermanDE> datz, Select 'Places'...  'Connect to Server'....  Is there a drop down for connecting to a Windows Share?
[04:48] <HermanDE> datz, You might have to set the workgroup of your system.....
[04:48] <keith2> I'm wondering where you can find something to help detect my MP3 player. I have a 2GB Sansa.
[04:48] <datz> HermanDE: I am installing samba on the pc that couldn't connect now
[04:48] <HermanDE> datz, That should do it....
[04:49] <HermanDE> datz, Kind of hard to connect without having the system installed...  :)
[04:49] <datz> HermanDE: didn't work.. now either. :P
[04:49] <datz> I'll just use sftp
[04:50] <gops> how do i add a program to kubuntu startup list
[04:50] <gops> so that it will start automatically whenever i login to the computer
[04:50] <HermanDE> datz, That's an even better way.....
[04:51] <HermanDE> datz, Samba/Windows file sharing needs to broadcast first....  And SMB/NETBIOS can take upto 10 minutes to resolve.....
[04:51] <datz> HermanDE: ah, ok..
[04:51] <datz> thanks
[04:52] <mdg2> anyone here use LXDE - who can I define size of an unmaximized window?
[04:52] <HypothesisFrog>  hi I just clean installed Hardy Heron, after backing up my ~/. When I restored my files, for some reason gnome decided that everything in ~/ needed to be visible on the Desktop. Anyone know why that might be?
[04:52] <Guest72357> I tried completely removing ndiswrapper but ifconfig won't detect my wireless adapter and when I do lsusb it says its plugged in
[04:53] <Guest72357> How do make ubuntu recognize it
[04:53] <kappaccino> you gotta shout
[04:54] <kappaccino> shout. let it all out
[04:54] <HermanDE> Guest72357, What is "IT"?
[04:54] <mdg2> Guest72357: what kind of adapter do you have
[04:55] <HermanDE> mdg2, Any guesses....  :)  Microwave, car....
[04:55] <edjfcefcjf> I tried completely removing ndiswrapper but ifconfig won't detect my wireless adapter and when I do lsusb it says its plugged in
[04:55] <edjfcefcjf> How does one make ifconfig recognize it?
[04:56] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, lsusb just lists things that are connected to the usb.....
[04:56] <edjfcefcjf> Herman yes
[04:56] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, ....  So "IT" is connected.....
[04:56] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, What is "IT"?
[04:56] <edjfcefcjf> So my wifi card isn't fried or anything, a wireless card, wusb54g
[04:56] <Nick_Meister> hello guys i just insalled ubuntu on d1675 fujitsu -siemens motherboard and i cant get the onboard sound to work, and also other people seem to have similar issues on google
[04:56] <Nick_Meister> alsa says they support it
[04:57] <Nick_Meister> yet i have not been able to find a solution
[04:57] <nawk> In the past (i.e. previous versions of Ubuntu), my Logitech ClickSmart 310 worked w/o much effort
[04:57] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Which version?
[04:57] <edjfcefcjf> V4
[04:57] <mdg2> need to determine what driver it needs since ndiswrapper didn't work
[04:58] <edjfcefcjf> I don't care if it won't work, I just want it to be recognizable
[04:58] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Google for rt2570....
[04:58] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, That looks like the proper driver....
[04:59] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, without NDIS wrappers....
[04:59] <edjfcefcjf> ....herman I said I don't care if it won't work, drivers won't work if I can't find it
[04:59] <edjfcefcjf> I've tried that doesn't work anyway
[04:59] <HermanDE> That is the excitement of some of the stranger USB devices.....
[04:59] <thune3> HypothesisFrog: if indeed all your files ended up in the right place, and it is that way when you reboot. You might look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=341607 it has two solutions for modifiying the directory displayed in the desktop
[04:59] <edjfcefcjf> Not exciting to be honest
[05:00] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, It may not report properly to the linux subsystem.....
[05:00] <Pretto> unop: i managed to sove my problem
[05:00] <mdg2> rt2570?  what version of ubuntu you using?
[05:00] <edjfcefcjf> Lucid lynx
[05:00] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, And the driver will properly detect it....
[05:00] <HypothesisFrog> thune3 thanks!
[05:00] <nawk> now, I can't seem to find support
[05:00] <nawk> can someone please give me some pointers?
[05:00] <mdg2> you using security - wep wpa?
[05:00] <edjfcefcjf> Herman no I got a guy to help me awhile ago it was two commands and it fixed it
[05:00] <edjfcefcjf> One was modprobe something
[05:01] <Pretto> unop: the problem was related to the Ubuntu Netbook Edition PPA
[05:01] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 that isn't related, anyway no because I cant
[05:01] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, The modprobe rt2570....
[05:01] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, see if it works.....
[05:01] <edjfcefcjf> Not found
[05:02] <mdg2> rt2570 in lucid - should work....
[05:02] <edjfcefcjf> Rutilt was made for my wifi card
[05:02] <edjfcefcjf> And it won't detect my card
[05:02] <sioux_> where i read about custom kernel?
[05:03] <Kane_Hart> a fresh install of ubuntu 10.0.4 server there is no firefall is there? I'm having a issue not sure if there is a default firewall install or if my router dmz is broken.
[05:03] <acerimmer_> Kane_Hart: firewall is there but not turned on by default
[05:03] <bastid_raZor> !kernel > sioux_
[05:03] <toolbear> how to get konsole or xterm to automatically source ~/.bashrc?
[05:03] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: is it a USB?
[05:03] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, try modprobe rt2x00
[05:04] <bastid_raZor> toolbear: open another session
[05:04] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, fscking changes....
[05:04] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 yes
[05:04] <toolbear> basti_raZor: ok, what do you mean?  like, type "xterm" at the command prompt?
[05:04] <Kane_Hart> ok must be my dmz then thanks
[05:04] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: look at this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377112
[05:05] <HermanDE> mdg2, That would do it....  :)
[05:05] <bastid_raZor> toolbear: like in gnome-terminal i press ctrl T and have another terminal window.. also i have an alias al = source ~/.bashrc  .. i don't think there is an automatic way
[05:05] <edjfcefcjf> Herman nope and what?
[05:05] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Plug your usb device in.....
[05:05] <edjfcefcjf> Sigh
[05:05] <edjfcefcjf> IT IS
[05:05] <mdg2> HermanDE: you have same adapter as edjfcefcjf ?
[05:05] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, do an lsmod.....  Look for "rt2500usb"
[05:06] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, lsmod | grep "rt2500usb"
[05:06] <edjfcefcjf> Yes look up rutilt and maybe we could move on
[05:06] <edjfcefcjf> If it can't detect a wireless adapter I doubt the same driver from another source would
[05:06] <toolbear> bastid_raZor: well, no, that doesn't seem to source .bashrc.  that's my problem
[05:07] <toolbear> bastid_raZor: er, that's what i meant by "automatic"
[05:07] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you are clearly frustrated - I feel your pain
[05:07] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, It looks like it *may* be selecting the wrong driver....
[05:07] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you need the rt2570sta driver - we were trying to verify that rt2500usb is loading or not
[05:07] <edjfcefcjf> Herman nothing but ndiswrapper is somehow running
[05:08] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 I can't download anything
[05:08] <Nick_Meister> so i looked it up my mobo has SIS 648fx chipset and i googled it but i am not getting anywhere cause nothing seems to be about sound
[05:08] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, It is looking for a windows driver.....  Kill the ndiswrapper....
[05:08] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: again, I feel you pain.  But at this point you should have everything you need - just need to make sure which driver you setup is trying to use
[05:09] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377112
[05:09] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, That is a possible solution.... care of mdg2
[05:09] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 I want ubuntus driver no ralink
[05:09] <edjfcefcjf> Herman how does one kill it?
[05:09] <mdg2> rt2570 is in ubuntu
[05:10] <mdg2> rt2570/rt2570sta
[05:10] <edjfcefcjf> Okay, I just want it to recognize my card then
[05:10] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, killall ndiswrapper  (as root)
[05:10] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, I've never run ndiswrapper so the spelling might be off...
[05:10] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: when you say card - you mean usb wifi adapter or something else?
[05:10] <edjfcefcjf> Herman no process
[05:10] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, ps aux | grep "ndis"
[05:11] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, /etc/init.d/ndiswrapper stop
[05:11] <thune3> toolbear: are you sure .bashrc isn't getting sourced. add like something like ' echo "BASHRC SOURCED" ' to your bashrc file
[05:11] <mdg2> HermanDE: he should just uninstall ndiswrapper - ya think?
[05:11] <HermanDE> mdg2, Sure......
[05:12] <HermanDE> mdg2, I'm all about command line....  So he might be trying to run in the GUI....
[05:12] <bastid_raZor> toolbear: do you have a .bash_profile or .profile ?
[05:12] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 I mean a universal serial bus wireless network adapter
[05:12] <samantha-c> trying to install a pile of packages thusly: http://paste.ubuntu.com/448994/  note the libc6 issue. it has always been my experience that jacking with libc6 is begging for a format and reinstall. what do i do with this one?
[05:13] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: okay :) I got confused when you said "card" by said USB
[05:13] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: thank you for clarifying
[05:13] <edjfcefcjf> Your welcome
[05:13] <HermanDE> samantha-c, Are you running zen?
[05:13] <edjfcefcjf> Herman I killed it
[05:13] <HermanDE> samantha-c, ... uh xen...  ?
[05:14] <edjfcefcjf> I had to kill it by a process number
[05:14] <samantha-c> HermanDE: i'm doing a contract install on this machine, and so apparently, yes, it's a Xen box. i didn't set it up, i'm just installing powerdns and geoip.
[05:14] <samantha-c> it's actually running on amazon
[05:14] <edjfcefcjf> now how do I make ifconfig detect it?
[05:14] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: if you can use syantpic, uninstall ndiswrapper
[05:14] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 its been completely removed before I even connected here
[05:14] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: ifconfig needs the correct driver installed first
[05:15] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: ndiswrapper?  I thought you just killed it?
[05:15] <HermanDE> samantha-c, That looks cool....  Might be a specialized xen......
[05:15] <edjfcefcjf> I fixed all the files I changed aswell
[05:15] <edjfcefcjf> Unblacklisted the free drivers
[05:15] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: did you blacklist rt2500usb?
[05:15] <edjfcefcjf> No
[05:16] <mdg2> then sudo modprobe rt2570sta?
[05:16] <edjfcefcjf> I "un"blacklisted all of them
[05:16] <HermanDE> samantha-c, What are the dependencies for libc6-xen?
[05:16] <Fandekasp> hi
[05:16] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: all rt2xxx drivers?
[05:16] <edjfcefcjf> Module not found
[05:16] <_Brun0_> Hey guys I really need help. I'm afraid Ubuntu will not work when I reboot. I did apt-get remove wine* and it remvoed lota of stuff like compiz and xorg. More here: http://pastebin.com/FKF6MG6i. How can I undo it?
[05:16] <edjfcefcjf> Yes mdg2 infact they were never blacklisted
[05:17] <DualRoot> holas
[05:17] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: I don't think you want them all unblacklisted...
[05:17] <mdg2> HermanDE: he unblacklisted all Rt2xxx drivers
[05:17] <edjfcefcjf> I unblacklisted bcm43xx b43 b43legacy and blacklist ssb
[05:18] <_Brun0_> How doI undo this: http://pastebin.com/FKF6MG6i ?
[05:18] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 I unblacklisted everything I had blacklisted
[05:18] <HermanDE> mdg2, I lost that webpage....  Arrrggggg....
[05:18] <coz_> _Brun0_,  nothing shows up on that pastebin
[05:18] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, unplug the usb..... and plug it back in.....
[05:18] <mdg2> HermanDE: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1377112 this one?
[05:18] <Fandekasp> What should I do to get a PGP/GPG fingerprint ? Thank you for your help, guys
[05:19] <wildbat> _Brun0_, re paste ~ bad paste id
[05:19] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Lsts see if Ubuntu does the correct thing with NDIS running....
[05:19] <zkriesse> Fandekasp: for?
[05:19] <edjfcefcjf> Herman it doesnt
[05:19] <samantha-c> HermanDE: it might be a specialized xen ... soo ... uh ... i assume that if i approve the proposed change at http://paste.ubuntu.com/448994/ i'm begging to screw the machine up?
[05:19] <zkriesse> !pgp | Fandekasp

[05:19] <Fandekasp> zkriesse, ok thank you
[05:19] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: that tut?
[05:19] <zkriesse> Fandekasp: :D
[05:19] <HermanDE> samantha-c, Unless you know the dependencies things could get weird.....
[05:20] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 I can't link you to it because its a local html file but its called wifidocsdriverndiswrapper
[05:20] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, What is the URL of the tutorial?
[05:20] <edjfcefcjf> On community docs
[05:21] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: where did you originally find it?
[05:21] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 refer to what I said above
[05:21] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, That is only if the drivers for Linux don't exist or are in really bad shape.....
[05:21] <wildbat> _Brun0_, you can reinstall them
[05:21] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: community docs...
[05:21] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, In your case, it is supported....
[05:22] <_Brun0_> wildbat, is there any shortcur so i don't need to apt-get install each?
[05:22] <_Brun0_> How do I undo all those critical apt-get remove? http://pastebin.com/xQn1euuT
[05:22] <HermanDE> mdg2, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[05:22] <pancakez> _Brun0_ try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" ?
[05:22] <edjfcefcjf> I'm aware...
[05:22] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Ok...  Back to page one....
[05:22] <wildbat> _Brun0_, nope ~ but you can install them with just one apt-get
[05:22] <adhdkid> _Brun0_, sudo apt-get install wine*
[05:22] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, My suggestion is to unplug the USB.....   Wait about 20 seconds.....
[05:22] <edjfcefcjf> Seriously all it is, is modprobing the right thing
[05:22] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Plug it back in....
[05:22] <edjfcefcjf> Tried it herman
[05:23] <_Brun0_> wildbat, didn't worked.. 3 programs had depenndencies
[05:23] <wildbat> adhdkid, waht is over kill
[05:23] <oren> when i choose '2 separate X screens' on nvidia-settings, my main screen stops working. any ideas?
[05:23] <edjfcefcjf> Did that for 10 minutes
[05:23] <ylmfos> drk
[05:23] <wildbat> _Brun0_, apt-get will auoto select the dependencies i believes.
[05:23] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Ok.....  Did the RT2500 driver show up on an lsmod?
[05:24] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, lsmod | grep "rt2500"
[05:24] <_Brun0_> wildbat, it didin't for 3 progrmas
[05:24] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, That would be rt2500usb.
[05:24] <mdg2> HermanDE: are we positive he needs rt2570?
[05:24] <edjfcefcjf> Herman nope
[05:24] <_Brun0_> wildbat, i'll do some search/replace to get it all into one apt-get install
[05:24] <binaryme> _Brun0_: try sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install /f
[05:25] <edjfcefcjf> But after I killed ndiswrapper its still here
[05:25] <wildbat> _Brun0_, just manually install those three then ~ just 3
[05:25] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, What is still there?
[05:25] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you need the windows .inf file for ndiswrapper to work
[05:25] <mdg2> not the linux driver
[05:25] <HermanDE> mdg2, As well as the binaries....
[05:26] <edjfcefcjf> Ndiswrapper and I have the windows one
[05:26] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, I'll bet that ndis wrappers is still installed.....
[05:26] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, And took over the device....
[05:26] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you have the windows .inf file for your wifi adapter?
[05:26] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: then you need to blacklist all Rt2xxx drivers again
[05:27] <HermanDE> mdg2, Just the rt2500usb
[05:27] <edjfcefcjf> WHAT? Why would I do that
[05:27] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Just blacklist the rt2500usb
[05:27] <edjfcefcjf> Apparently you guys didn't hear the part about me just wanting ifconfig to see wlan0
[05:27] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: ndiswrapper used the windows driver = *.inf file - that's what ndiswrapper means
[05:28] <edjfcefcjf> Yes I don't want ndiswrapper
[05:28] <mdg2> rt2570sta is a linux driver
[05:28] <edjfcefcjf> Seriously guys I didn't think it was this hard
[05:28] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: its actually not that hard ...:)
[05:28] <edjfcefcjf> Apparently it is mdg2
[05:29] <edjfcefcjf> I mean why would you blacklist a driver that's not even installed
[05:29] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: so you either want to use the windows driver *inf file with ndiswrapper or you want the linux driver without ndiswrapper
[05:29] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, To keep it from attempting to install/prior to the proper driver.....
[05:29] <edjfcefcjf> I don't have ndiswrapper I don't have ndiswrapper-utils and I don't have ndiswrapper-common
[05:30] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Now try and modprobe rt2x00usb
[05:30] <edjfcefcjf> And I don't want ndiswrapper
[05:30] <sabqat9> anyone out there have time to help a newbie setup ubuntu server
[05:30] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you are confusing us by saying you killed ndiswrapper
[05:30] <RandBrittain> Hm, I seem to have gotten lucid and Win7 dual-booting successfully, and my wireless drivers work in both. That is good.
[05:30] <edjfcefcjf> Its still there
[05:30] <edjfcefcjf> But isn't installed
[05:30] <RandBrittain> But somehow I took whatever thing was on the panel that had the volume applet off, and can't figure out how to get it back.
[05:30] <edjfcefcjf> Its been completely removed
[05:30] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, What is there?
[05:30] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: exactly what is still there?
[05:30] <RandBrittain> Adding the notification area doesn't seem to cut it.
[05:30] <edjfcefcjf> Ndiswrapper
[05:31] <HermanDE> If you see ndis wrapper....  It is still installed.....
[05:31] <bastid_raZor> RandBrittain: that one is in the Indicator Applet
[05:31] <edjfcefcjf> Process 879
[05:31] <RandBrittain> I added the indicator applet but nothing appeared within it.
[05:31] <edjfcefcjf> I kill it, but its still there
[05:31] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: would you be opposed to just uninstalling ndiswrapper?
[05:31] <RandBrittain> ...but now I add it again and it works. I don't know why.
[05:32] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: to rule out the possibility it would try to control your adapter
[05:32] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 --purge
[05:32] <edjfcefcjf> DUDE I SAID I DON'T WANT NDISWRAPPER
[05:32] <RandBrittain> Oh, well. Second question.  Now that I'm using Ubuntu's bootloader can I remove that partition for simplicity?
[05:32] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: that's unstalling ndiswrapper so it can't be used
[05:33] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: apt-get remove is different than apt-get install :)
[05:33] <dartt> hey i cannot make my panel transparent...nyone know wats goin on?
[05:33] <edjfcefcjf> Herman says all 3 aren't installed
[05:33] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Then it purged the configs....
[05:33] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, How do you know that NDIS is running?
[05:33] <edjfcefcjf> NO ITS BEEN PURGED
[05:34] <edjfcefcjf> Herman lsmod
[05:34] <oren> when i choose '2 separate X screens' on nvidia-settings, my main screen stops working. any ideas?/
[05:34] <dartt> my panel distorts when i try to make it transparent....how can i solve this?
[05:34] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, lsmod is not ndis....
[05:34] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, modprobe -r (module name)
[05:35] <edjfcefcjf> Wow, i  Meant you type lsmod and then hit enter
[05:35] <hasek79> hello
[05:35] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, If you see ndis in the module listing....  The remove the module.....  modprobe -r (module)
[05:36] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Do not unplug the usb....
[05:36] <dartt> how can u make your panel transparent?
[05:37] <hasek79> has any1 got ubuntu 10?
[05:38] <edjfcefcjf> Ok
[05:39] <RandBrittain> Can the spare system partition Windows 7 creates be deleted once I get a dual-boot set up using the Ubuntu boot thingamabob.
[05:39] <RandBrittain> ?
[05:39]  * mdg2 sits on edge of seat waiting for outcome of edjfcefcjf situation
[05:39] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Now try modprobe rt2x00usb
[05:39] <lint> does anyone know how i can change cursor themes while compiz is running?
[05:39] <mdg2> HermanDE: rt2570sta?
[05:39] <thune3> hasek79: get right to your real question, don't be formal
[05:39] <greezmunkey> *Q* Since I installed mysql from the repos, should I upgrade it from there as well?
[05:39] <hasek79> ok
[05:40] <HermanDE> mdg2,....  Depends on his Linux version....
[05:40] <mdg2> HermanDE: I think he said lucid
[05:40] <edjfcefcjf> Herman I enter it and it does nothing more
[05:40] <hasek79> i have just put ubuntu 10 on my imac and i cant do any of the neat features. like it doesnt see my grfx card
[05:41] <edjfcefcjf> Goes back to the terminal
[05:41] <datta> I would like to know how you can add system icon to a program
[05:41] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, try dmsg....
[05:41] <edjfcefcjf> So I think that worked
[05:41] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, See what is at the bottom....
[05:41] <hasek79> is there a  driver or something that can fix that?
[05:41] <tertl3> hasek79: is it AMD?
[05:41] <edjfcefcjf> Dmsg isn't a command
[05:41] <hasek79> no
[05:41] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, You need to fix your USB detect to remove ndis....
[05:41] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, dmesg.....
[05:41] <datta> is there a specific code to help you with that so that you can add a system icon when it is minimized and could be opened back?
[05:41] <tertl3> oh nvemnd
[05:41] <edjfcefcjf> Ubuntu lucid lynx 64 bit
[05:41] <tertl3> hmm
[05:41] <HermanDE> I'm 9 minutes from being late.....
[05:41] <hasek79> intel core 2 duo 2.0ghz
[05:41] <tertl3> idk
[05:42] <edjfcefcjf> Herman now what
[05:42] <tertl3> hasek79: does internet work?
[05:42] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, What do you see at the bottom of the dmesg?
[05:42] <hasek79> and my card is ati i dont know the number but its 128megs
[05:42] <edjfcefcjf> Audio stuff
[05:43] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Wish I could stay and help......  I have a beer waiting for me....
[05:43] <tertl3> hasek79: thats the problem
[05:43] <edjfcefcjf> Stuff like 300 mbi, 2000 mBm
[05:43] <hasek79> yes everything runs perfect but i just cant get the features to work
[05:43] <tertl3> ati = bad
[05:43] <HermanDE> edjfcefcjf, Sounds like you have most of it  working....
[05:43] <edjfcefcjf> I do?
[05:43] <outwork69> hy guys
[05:44] <edjfcefcjf> Herman ifconfig and nm-applet don't see it
[05:44] <edjfcefcjf> They see lo and eth0
[05:44] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: sudo iwlist scan
[05:44] <thune3> hasek79: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Intel_iMac  (you followed instructions under ATI Graphics)?
[05:44] <hasek79> im running ubuntu right nest to osx 10.6 right now
[05:44] <tertl3> hasek79: lspci in termnial
[05:44] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 lo and eth0 don't support scanning
[05:44] <acerimmer_> hasek79: ubuntu/win7/osx
[05:45] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: because they are not wireless interfaces
[05:45] <edjfcefcjf> Duh?
[05:45] <hasek79> ubuntu is all very new to me i have been wanting to use it for awhile
[05:45] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: sudo iwlist scan
[05:45] <edjfcefcjf> I told you I have no wlan0
[05:45] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 lo and eth0 don't support scanning
[05:45] <edjfcefcjf> Same thing
[05:45] <tertl3> hasek79: go into terminal and type lspci
[05:46] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: on your desktop panel, click the nework icon and make sure you enabled "wireless"
[05:46] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: that's a right click
[05:46] <hasek79> ok
[05:46] <edjfcefcjf> Your avoiding the situation
[05:47] <hasek79> came up with a bunch of stuff
[05:47] <tertl3> hasek79: do you see your card in that list of mumbo
[05:47] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: if you don't have wlan0 or wlan1 or wlan anything, then your driver is not installed or blacklisted
[05:47] <hasek79> still looking
[05:47] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 ifconfig and iwconfig aren't related to nm-applet
[05:47] <edjfcefcjf> DUH!
[05:47] <tertl3> hasek79: that is a list your pci buses
[05:48] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: prove it
[05:49] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: unplug your usb wifi adapter wait 20 seconds and plut it back in - does it light up?
[05:49] <tertl3> hasek79: ?
[05:50] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 sure, go on arch linux
[05:50] <tertl3> hasek79: did you try to install the driver?
[05:50] <edjfcefcjf> Ifconfig is there but is nm-applet?
[05:50] <edjfcefcjf> Nm-applet is a gnome gui
[05:51] <mdg2> ifconfig is command line inquiry of network interfaces
[05:51] <edjfcefcjf> Yes it lights up
[05:51] <edjfcefcjf> Indeed
[05:51] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: iwlist scan - scans wireless interface
[05:52] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: both from command line
[05:52] <edjfcefcjf> Yes I know how to use iwlist
[05:52] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: sudo iwlist scan
[05:52] <edjfcefcjf> Okay I give up maybe tommrow people will be more knowelage and stop trying to argue
[05:52] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: see anything now?
[05:53] <edjfcefcjf> NO
[05:53] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you sure you know how to use command line and terminal?
[05:54] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: if your adapter lit up - its working
[05:54] <edjfcefcjf> Yes, remeber when I said this in the start
[05:54] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: on your desktop menu bar you would see a stairstep icon replace the two computer icons for networking
[05:54] <edjfcefcjf> I tried completely removing ndiswrapper but ifconfig won't detect my wireless adapter and when I do lsusb it says its plugged in
[05:55] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 I assure you I know how to use a terminal
[05:55] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: if lsusb shows its plugged in, that means the system sees it, does not mean interface is configred
[05:56] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: when you do lsub - there is a number:number that shows up - can you tell us what that is?
[05:56] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: i.e., 104c:8400
[05:57] <edjfcefcjf> I told you, I give up, your trying to follow the tut herman sent you most likely, I used thatguide
[05:57] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: no, I never went there :)
[05:57] <bastid_raZor> edjfcefcjf: your != you are
[05:57] <edjfcefcjf> Ok well I have a feeling ill have better luck looking through my drivers
[05:57] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: thing is, the rt2xxx series wifi adapters have at least two different chips they use
[05:58] <edjfcefcjf> Bastid I'm on a phone I know my grammar
[05:58] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: that's why its best to check the id # of the adapter,which you can get from lsusb
[06:00] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: from that number you determine the driver needed and then can modprobe or blacklist whatever is needed
[06:01] <edjfcefcjf> When I look in my drivers I see kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt25007!+:*9
[06:01] <edjfcefcjf> 2500usb.ko sorry
[06:01] <edjfcefcjf> Should I have that mdg2?
[06:02] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: rt2x00 is part of rt2500, plus there are other drivers in the rt2x00 series
[06:03] <edjfcefcjf> Wait hold on I might have figured it out
[06:03] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: again, getting the actual identifying number and working from there is the best plan
[06:03] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: please don't tell me you have ethernet cable plugged in...
[06:04] <edjfcefcjf> I dont
[06:05] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: well that's good news :)
[06:06] <edjfcefcjf> Okay I give up, ill go reinstall ubuntu
[06:06]  * mdg2 sits on edge of seat waiting....
[06:06] <edjfcefcjf> It didn't work
[06:07] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: by chance did your wifi adapter work when running a live cd?
[06:07] <oren> when i choose '2 separate X screens' on nvidia-settings, my main screen stops working. any ideas?/
[06:07] <edjfcefcjf> Yes it worked before I installed ndiswrapper aswell
[06:07] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you can try rebooting into the live cd and then checking lsmod
[06:08] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: see what the live cd is using to run your wifi adapter
[06:08] <evon> Is there an itunes application for ubuntu that will let me access the store?
[06:08] <edjfcefcjf> Why? It was default
[06:08] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: its a handy trick :)
[06:08] <edjfcefcjf> But alright
[06:09] <darkangel> hey whats the best way to create a live usb??? is it the same as making a live cd??
[06:09] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you might not have to reinstall :)
[06:09] <mdg2> darkangel: unetbootin rocks!
[06:09] <edjfcefcjf> Darkangel lookup unetbootin
[06:09] <astralpop> Hi, Not a big deal but. When using the Software Center some of the icon pictures are missing and sometimes they are not. Any solutions ?
[06:09]  * mdg2 high fives edjfcefcjf !
[06:09] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 I'm willing to bet I will
[06:10] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you will what?
[06:10] <edjfcefcjf> Darkangel its on sourceforge
[06:10] <edjfcefcjf> Have to reinstall
[06:10] <syk> i keep getting this error evertime i apt-get install or remove a package http://paste.ubuntu.com/448975/ and ive tried this link http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1346581 and still doesnt get rid of it
[06:10] <Nick_Meister> hi guys i got this device to work in alsa but how do i get it to work in pulse ?
[06:11] <Nick_Meister>  Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)
[06:11] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: from the standpoint of learning, check what the live cd loads :)
[06:11] <ylmfos> hello
[06:11] <darkangel> ty
[06:11] <acerimmer_> !hi|ylmfos
[06:11] <edjfcefcjf> Alright
[06:11] <anthony> guy's my notification area does not have any icon i already restart the panel and still theres no icon how can i deal with this. pls help me....
[06:11] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: its a great way to troubleshoot
[06:11] <ylmfos> my txt is wrong
[06:12] <acerimmer_> anthony: if the icon is gone, just add it back?
[06:12] <mdg2> anthony: how did you  resart panel?
[06:12] <mdg2> resart/restart
[06:12] <acerimmer_> ylmfos: what do you mean "text is wrong"?
[06:12] <ylmfos> who can tell me how to resuit it
[06:12] <acerimmer_> ylmfos: what do you mean "text is wrong"?
[06:12] <mish4> i am installing ubuntu and manually setting up the partitions. what should the mount point for 'swap' be?
[06:12] <anthony> acerimmer_:how will i do that
[06:12] <mish4> i dont see a /swap
[06:13] <elifed> you don't mount swap
[06:13] <pancakez> mish4, swap shouldn't have a mount point
[06:13] <mish4> alright, do i have to worry about placing buffers inbetween partitions?
[06:13] <mdg2> anthony: did you right click on the menu button and choose to restart?
[06:13] <thune3> Nick_Meister: can i ask how you got it to work in alsa?
[06:13] <ylmfos> the message is rong
[06:13] <anthony> mdg2: i just restart i but using a line of code i already forget it.
[06:13] <acerimmer_> ylmfos: what message do you get?
[06:13] <Xinhaun> lol, rong?
[06:14] <ylmfos> yes
[06:14] <achew22> is there a way to intercept the dbus signal org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop and have it call a command of my choosing or have it suspend instead of shutdown?
[06:14] <Xinhaun> brilliant
[06:14] <acerimmer_> ylmfos: please give exact information so we can understand
[06:14] <mdg2> anthony: its easier to right click on the menu button and choose restart panel applets (not sure exactly what is says)
[06:14] <anthony> mdg2: just code in the terminal. that how i restart it.
[06:14] <Nick_Meister> thune3, http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/staff/tom/SiS7012/
[06:14] <ylmfos> ok
[06:14] <Nick_Meister> its integrated into alsa-driver
[06:14] <mish4> i also heard ext4 may have some issues, should i just go with ext3 file system?
[06:14] <Nick_Meister> so you just install the kernel module
[06:15] <mdg2> anthony: you are using Gnome?
[06:15] <anthony> yes
[06:15] <acerimmer_> mdg2: guessing he reset with !panels
[06:15] <edjfcefcjf> Rt2500usb rt2x00usb rt2x00lib
[06:15] <anthony> mdg2: yes
[06:15] <ylmfos> ¡¶ÃÈÑ¿¡·Ê®ÄêµÄ79ÌõŸµäÓïÂŒ(Ì«Éî°ÂÁË)
[06:15] <ylmfos>
[06:15] <Nick_Meister> thune3, so alsamixer recognizes it, but the default pulse audio applet does not
[06:15] <ylmfos> like this
[06:15] <Xinhaun> ylmfos: what language is this?
[06:15] <elifed> mish4, ext4 seems fine
[06:15] <ylmfos> chinese
[06:15] <mdg2> acerimmer_: I did not know you could do that :) handy!
[06:15] <ylmfos> but it worong
[06:15] <Nick_Meister> so i seriously need help with this, cause i cant figure it out T.T
[06:16] <acerimmer_> ylmfos: do you read/speak chinese?
[06:16] <ylmfos> yes
[06:16] <acerimmer_> !cn|ylmfos
[06:16] <acerimmer_> mdg2: yeah it does come in handy but you will have to rebuild the panels after using it
[06:16] <edjfcefcjf> Rt2500usb rt2x00usb rt2x00lib mgd2
[06:17] <ylmfos> 不起作用
[06:17] <ylmfos> 我到txt乱码
[06:17] <anthony> i rely need help because i can't see the icon of ubuntu one and power. can any one help me cause i don't know how to do this
[06:17] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: you rebooted the live cd?
[06:17] <acerimmer_> ylmfos: /join #ubuntu-cn
[06:17] <edjfcefcjf> !chinese
[06:17] <dartt> how to make panel transparent.....
[06:18] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 I booted it
[06:18] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: notice in the output of lsmod you see a colon and like a 0 or a 1, that tells you if the module is being used.
[06:18] <lint> dartt: its in panel properties
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> dartt:  its in the panel settings/properties menu i recall.
[06:18] <thune3> Nick_Meister: you might have to change the "profile" in the pulseaudio hardware options
[06:18] <ylmfos> i have e try
[06:18] <lint> dartt: right click on the panel and go to panel proprties, its the second tab
[06:18] <Nick_Meister> thune3, can you help me with it please, because i do not know anything about this kind of stuff
[06:18] <dartt> i tried that but it does not make it fully transparent...rather it distorts it :(
[06:18] <bastid_raZor> dartt: right click > properties > Background > Solid color move the Style slider to transparent
[06:19] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: do "sudo iwlist scan" and see if it is setup as wlan0 or wlan1
[06:19] <lint> dartt: select background, and use teh slider to set it how you like it
[06:19] <edjfcefcjf> Wlan0
[06:19] <acerimmer_> dartt: you might also have to enable advanced effects in appearance
[06:19] <dartt> i did that
[06:19] <lint> dartt: select solid color
[06:19] <dartt> still
[06:19] <thune3> Nick_Meister: System Preference -> Sound | hardware tab
[06:20] <dartt> acerimmer: i enabled advanced effects still it distorts the panels
[06:20] <Nick_Meister> thune3, thats the problem there is nothing in that list :*(
[06:20] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: lshw -show
[06:20] <Nick_Meister> thune3, absolute zilch
[06:21] <acerimmer_> dartt: don't know your computer's spec's but you just might not be able to pull it off.  try kubuntu?
[06:21] <Nick_Meister> thune3, but the audio card shows up in lspci tho
[06:21] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf:  oops wrong command
[06:21] <dartt> acerimmer: ah no....i hv seen other ppl enabling it
[06:21] <edjfcefcjf> Yea
[06:22] <Dr_Willis> dartt:  clarify what you mean by distort. perhaps upload some screenshots/video clips
[06:22] <dartt> ok i upload...gimme a sec
[06:23] <bastid_raZor> acerimmer_: nice solution.. transparency issues in gnome-panel so he should dump gnome all together.
[06:23] <acerimmer_> bastid_raZor: u/k/x/l it's all buntu?
[06:24] <bastid_raZor> acerimmer_: but a seriously poor solution for gnome-panel issues
[06:24] <edjfcefcjf> Mdg2 what command
[06:24] <acerimmer_> bastid_raZor: I suggested that his specs might not work but if you or anyone has a better solution....?
[06:25]  * Dr_Willis waits to see what 'distorted' means
[06:25] <mdg2> edjfcefcjf: lsusb -v
[06:26] <dartt> Dr_Willis, check this out http://yfrog.com/0jdesk1015j
[06:28] <bastid_raZor> dartt: i had a similiar issue. i changed my theme and it was fixed
[06:28] <Dr_Willis> dartt:  and whats distorted about it?
[06:28] <dartt> Dr_Willis, what?...not everything is trnasparent....it shpuld be completely transparent....only a section is transparent
[06:29] <Dr_Willis> dartt:  the panel applets are not using  the transparent background.  is a bit more clear in your question. not the term 'distorted' For all i know that may be a limitatuion of the gnome panel. Im not on gnome to  test it.
[06:29] <anthony> why fedora use beta software. fedora is a nice os but the software that fedora ship is not for new user. new in linux.
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> dartt:  its also possible if you log out/back in those panel applets Might 'see the new setting'
[06:30] <codebrainz> dartt, try restarting gnome-panel using 'killall gnome-panel'
[06:30] <Dr_Willis> anthony:  ask in #fedora
[06:30] <lint> no, its his theme
[06:30] <dartt> Dr_Willis: oh ya true...ok i try n restart panel
[06:30] <anthony> they. S*&k
[06:30] <elifed> anthony, Fedora has a different target audience than Ubuntu I'd say
[06:31] <lint> does anyone know where the image next to the main menu is stofred?
[06:31] <lint> stroed i mean
[06:31] <bastid_raZor> dartt: i use the Dust theme.
[06:31] <dartt> Dr_Willis, i restarted the panel still got the same problem
[06:31] <elifed> anthony, Fedora is also used as a test bed for future RHEL releases, which aren't bleeding edge
[06:31] <rww> !ot
[06:31] <mdg2> anthony: you get your panel tray fixed?
[06:31] <dartt> this happens with all themes
[06:32] <Mutant> hu
[06:32] <Mutant> hi
[06:32] <anthony> mdg2: no its still the same. it pissed me of when i think of my icons...
[06:32] <Alevsk> Hello everybody, I have problems with xorg.conf, I can't find the file
[06:32] <Mutant> please tell me a good twitter client for Ubuntu
[06:32] <Loshki> lint: somewhere in /usr/share/icons perhaps...?
[06:32] <Alevsk> someone can help me plz?
[06:32] <mdg2> elifed: sudo lshw
[06:33] <mdg2> elifed: sorry!
[06:33] <Mutant> please tell me a good twitter client for Ubuntu
[06:33] <mdg2> anthony: what happens when you right click on the start button?
[06:33] <salil> If I add an init script using update-rc.d, will it be run as root?
[06:33] <Jordan_U> salil: Yes
[06:34] <salil> Thanks
[06:34] <lint> Loshki: no, not there
[06:34] <Loshki> Mutant: I found the following on google. I don't use twitter myself: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/05/03/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/
[06:34] <anthony> mdg2: its restart my panel but i don't see my icons. only the network icon that i can see.
[06:34] <Loshki> lint: sorry, keep asking then...
[06:34] <Jordan_U> salil: You're welcome.
[06:35] <mdg2> anthony: !panel must have zapped them
[06:35] <dartt> panel applets are not getting transparent when i enable transparency...how can i overcome this...screenshot here....http://yfrog.com/0jdesk1015j
[06:35] <mdg2> anthony: did you drag and drop them before?
[06:35] <John__> g'day
[06:35] <John__> I need some help!
[06:35] <John__> I just installed 10.04 LTS from a CD
[06:35] <salil> Jordan_U: Does that mean, I should put it in /etc also?
[06:35] <John__> it's working fine but there is like 50 packages in the repos! none of the software I want is in there?
[06:36] <John__> Help!
[06:36] <John__> I can't even find irssi or xchat or flight gear or skype
[06:36] <Mutant>  Loshki: Thanks
[06:36] <HowDoI> dartt, that's a but in the theme
[06:36] <John__> It's simply not in there
[06:36] <HowDoI> BUG*
[06:36] <mdg2> John__: you using Synaptic?
[06:36] <John__> yes
[06:36] <anthony> mdg2: i mean i don't see any icon on my "notification area". the only icon that i can see is my network system
[06:36] <John__> but I tried with apt-get
[06:36] <John__> still the same problem
[06:36] <dartt> HowDoI, no thats the problem wid every theme :(
[06:36] <John__> mdg2: Any Ideas?
[06:37] <bastid_raZor> John__: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[06:37] <John__> bastid_raZor: sure
[06:37] <dartt> HowDoI, its default ambiance theme
[06:37] <mdg2> John__: try clicking the search box to the right of the main box and typing in you item to be searched
[06:37] <HowDoI> dartt, try gnome-look.org and searc for another theme
[06:37] <John__> mdg2: Yes, I did that -- same problem it doesn't find anything
[06:37] <dartt> HowDoI, how can there be a problem in defualt theme?
[06:37] <mdg2> John__: the button says "search"
[06:37] <lint> dartt: its yoru panel color, it had to match the system color
[06:37] <HowDoI> dartt, there are all kinds of bugs everywhere, it just happens
[06:37] <Hammerton> John. In synaptics did you do a refresh so it redownloads all the packages?
[06:37] <mdg2> John__: did you let the updates run?  Like 130 or so to download
[06:37] <lint> its not a bug though
[06:38] <Jordan_U> salil: Yes, it shouldn't be in a place like your home directory because even if the file itself is owned by root, since the directory it's in is not (and the sticky bit is not set), someone without root prieleges could gain them by rming it and writing their own in its place
[06:38] <John__> mdg2: no
[06:38] <dartt> HowDoI, ah...but i hv seen ppl using complete transparent panels in screenshots....
[06:38] <FireCrotch> I'm having a weird problem with Firefox.  When trying to choose a file for upload on any website, when I select a file and click OK, it sticks a completely different file (from the same directory) into the upload box
[06:38] <mdg2> John__: you should let it update first before adding
[06:38] <salil> Jordan_U: Thanks
[06:38] <Jordan_U> salil: You're welcome.
[06:38] <HowDoI> dartt, also, it seems that by default, Ubuntu forces you to do things their way, and if you want to do things like making panels transparent, you have to edit things the hard way
[06:39] <anthony> hey guy's what is the content of the recovery disk of the ubuntu 10.04.
[06:39] <John__> bastid_raZor: http://pastebin.com/sYWRCQUX
[06:39] <dartt> HowDoI, hmmm...so there is no apparent solution for this?
[06:39] <mdg2> John__: then click the "search" icon on the right side of the synaptic window to search for things you want to add, not the Quick Search box
[06:39] <lint> dartt: make sure your colo0rs match
[06:39] <John__> mdg2: k
[06:39] <dartt> lint, colors match?
[06:40] <HowDoI> dartt, yes there is.  The default Ubuntu theme apparently does not support transparent panels.  File a bug report.  In the mean time, find a new theme you like on say, www.gnome-look.org, or edit the theme yourself
[06:40] <no-name-> why the hell does my usb hard drive unmount itself at times
[06:40] <lint> your system color and your panel color
[06:40] <mdg2> John__: good luck  :)
make sure you download all the packages before you do a search or you'll find nothing
[06:40] <John__> mdg2: thanks
[06:41] <John__> Hammerton: ahh, k
[06:41] <mdg2> John__: your welcome :)
[06:41] <mdg2> night all O/
[06:42] <aaro700930> !es
[06:42] <bastid_raZor> John__: all fixed?
[06:43] <Hammerton> How do you do that "personsName:" thing before every reply?
[06:43] <dartt> HowDoI, i cnahged to elementary theme....still got the same problem....http://yfrog.com/2tdesk1016j
[06:43] <doormat81> I've been trying to find a solution for this for at least a year and my question is usually ignored.  Nothing I've found on Google has worked: how do I adjust the speed of my mouse's scroll wheel??  In Firefox especially it is WAY too fast.  One click of the wheel and a page and a half flies by!  I've tried changing the settings in about:config to no avail.  It's the same issue in every other Gnome program too.
[06:43] <HowDoI> Hammerton, some IRC clients have auto-complete, so you just type a few letters and hit tab, for instance
[06:44] <Jastur> Anyone familiar with NAT and iptables that has a moment to answer a small question?
[06:44] <Hammerton> HowDoI, Ohhhh. I'm using xchat and it seems to be working
[06:44] <Prez00> hello
[06:44] <Hammerton> HowDoI, Thank you.
[06:44] <no-name-> how do i get flash for 64bit ubuntu?
[06:44] <Prez00> I am on latest release Ubuntu and cannot view .asx streaming feeds, any ideas?
[06:44] <bastid_raZor> no-name-: ubuntu-restricted-extras package
[06:45] <Jastur> ASX is just an XML file contaning a list of songs to play.
[06:45] <no-name-> bastid_raZor: where do i get that?
[06:46] <Wolvenhaven> i backed up my home folder on an external drive and i'm trying to copy over the relavent files i want, but --preserve=all still gives me the "are you sure you wish to do this, this file is an executable" prompt on every file even though my account is the same, what do i need to do to get it to work?
[06:46] <bastid_raZor> no-name-: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:46] <Prez00> Jastur, e.g. http://mfile.akamai.com/97892/live/reflector:45685.asx?bkup=49182 can you view that?
[06:46] <LinuxGuy2009> I just installed the game Pingus from the repos and beat the 8 levels in level set that has the halloween theme. Is that all the levels it has for right now?
[06:46] <codebrainz> doormat81, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=391860&highlight=wheel  post #5
[06:46] <no-name-> cheers bastid_raZor
[06:46] <upliftingtrance> wasc
[06:47] <HowDoI> dartt, the problem is that different parts of the panel are themed individually.  The theme-writers for those themes have made images for the background of the indicator applet, clock, etc. and themed them each.  The panel background preferences where you set transparency only themes the very farthest back background.  The icons, etc get color still
[06:47] <Jastur> Yes, but it's a metafile contaning a list of WMA files to play.
[06:47] <bastid_raZor> no-name-: if that doesn't work, type !flash in this channel and follow the link..
[06:47] <no-name-> ok
[06:47] <dartt> HowDoI,oh i c.....but sm ppl are able to make the panel completely transparent...dunno how
[06:47] <bastid_raZor> no-name-: you have to restart your web browser after installing that package too
[06:47] <Jastur> Prez00 : "mms://a1686.l9789245685.c97892.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1686/97892/v0001/reflector:45685"
[06:48] <doormat81> codebrainz, I don't have a Synaptics device (assuming that's the manufacturer's name).
[06:48] <salil> Jordan_U: How do you make that "[OK]" and "[fail]" show up when you do a /etc/init.d/<script> start  or stop?
[06:48] <no-name-> ok :)
[06:48] <HowDoI> dartt, if none of the included  themes are doing what you want, you have to find another theme online, or create/modify one yourself.  That's how the people did it in the screenshots you've seen
[06:49] <dartt> HowDoI,ok...buddy thnx alot...i hv decided tat i wil not use transparency :)
[06:49] <codebrainz> doormat81, prolly work anyway.  also under about:config there is mousewheel.withnokey.sysnumlines
[06:49] <codebrainz> doormat81, set it to false and specify the num of lines you want
[06:49] <HowDoI> dartt, also you'll probably be bummed to find out that even then the panel isn't truly transparent.  If you move a window behind it, it will not show up.  Only the background is blended with the "transparent" panel.
[06:50] <dartt> HowDoI,O.O nice observation
[06:50] <doormat81> codebrainz, I tried that in Firefox but it didn't change anything.  As far as gsynaptics goes, there is no entry in my xorg.conf file for "InputDevice"
[06:50] <codebrainz> doormat81, add one
[06:52] <doormat81> hmm.. so in Lucid, how do you restart X?  Apparently Ctrl-Alt-Backspace is no longer the way...
[06:52] <Jordan_U> salil: I don't know, sorry.
[06:52] <codebrainz> doormat81, just log out and log back in
[06:52] <realubot> If I add a PPA thta has got a newer version of a package included in Ubuntu, how do I install the new package and not the default packade?
[06:52] <Jastur> Trying to use NAT and iptables to send packets back to a windows machine, but not sure how to go about doing so.
[06:52] <realubot> *package
[06:53] <doormat81> codebrainz, happen to know why they removed the ability to restart with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace?
[06:53] <codebrainz> doormat81, i don't think Ctr+Alt+Backspace was ever the proper way to restart X
[06:53] <rallias> I am trying to compile firefox 3.7a4 and it gives me an error saying --enable-application=APP was not specified.
[06:53] <rallias> what do i do?
[06:53] <codebrainz> rallias, specify that option?
[06:53] <doormat81> codebrainz, ah, that's the only way I've ever used or seen suggested lol.  And logging out restarts X?  Never knew that.
[06:54] <rallias> codebrainz: configure: error: --enable-application=APP was not specified and is required.
[06:54] <HowDoI> doormat81, you could also switch to another terminal using Ctrl+Alt+F6 and restarting X via command line
[06:54] <binaryme> Jastur: are you talking about network connection sharing?
[06:54] <rallias> i don't know what it is talking about
[06:54] <Jastur> no, not quite binaryme.
[06:54] <doormat81> yeeeahhh... logging out didn't reload my xorg.conf
[06:55] <Jastur> Both machines have internet access, but I need to send all packets from a specified IP to my linux machine for inspection, but those packets are still needed on the windows machine
[06:55] <codebrainz> doormat81, loging out to GDM and logging back in, afaik should restart X server
[06:55] <Jastur> I used route on windows to forward said packets over to the linux box, but not sure how to send them back.
[06:55] <rallias> how do i specify that option?
[06:55] <HowDoI> doormat81, you can re-enable the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarting X via some setting.  Try googling it
[06:56] <tyler_d|werkin> I am trying to start a vmware vm using "vmrun start "/home/cthompson/vmware/myvm/myvm.vmx" nogui" within rc.local and it is not coming up?
[06:57] <evilsherpa> \/join #kubuntu
[06:57] <binaryme> Jastur: I don't really understand what you are trying to do but it sounds like the linux machine should setup as a firewall, passing the relevant info on to the windows pc?
[06:57] <nfree> join #ubuntu-ko
[06:57] <Wolvenhaven> i backed up my home folder on an external drive and i'm trying to copy over the relavent files i want, but --preserve=all still gives me the "are you sure you wish to do this, this file is an executable" prompt on every file even though my account is the same, what do i need to do to get it to work?
[06:57] <Jastur> Mind if I open a query with you for a moment binaryme?
[06:58] <doormat81> codebrainz, well, gsynaptics is still shouting about adding a line to xorg.conf that I DID add before logging out and back in :-/
[06:58] <binaryme> Jastur: ok
[06:58] <codebrainz> doormat81, try rebooting
[06:59] <salil> Jordan_U: Found it.. You have to include some init functions by adding this line ". /lib/lsb/init-functions" and then use log_daemon_msg instead of echo, and use log_end_msg 0 to print [OK] and log_end_msg 1 to print [fail]... :D
[07:04] <Name141> Hello, my internal NIC has a problem after Hardy.  (the e1000e module).  I am thinking about taking out the old Microsoft NIC that has never had a problem with the tulip module, and putting it in to my machine.  Would I run in to any problems if I did this?

[07:15] <John__> and it wants me to install the hardware video drivers
[07:15] <John__> so I say yes
[07:15] <helpme> yes... it logs into gonme nicely but after some time it goes blank
[07:15] <John__> it downloads them
[07:15] <John__> then it gives this error:
[07:15] <John__> SystemError: installArchives() failed
[07:16] <John__> help? I need the drivers for games.
[07:16] <Wolvenhaven> is there a way to chmod the entire /backup/home/ folder to my new user and just copy normally?
[07:16] <hobbitriddles> John__: Please try keeping your questions on one line...
[07:16] <Gryllida> John__: what games?
[07:16] <John__> Flight Gear.
[07:16] <John__> It doesn't matter, I need the drivers and they don't seem to be working.
[07:17] <John__> They worked on 9.10 and 9.04
[07:17] <John__> "SystemError: installArchives() failed"
[07:17] <rus_bear> greetings, everyone!
[07:17] <ChrisRut> How long till Kernel 2.6.34 is available for Lucid?
[07:17] <codebrainz> Wolvenhaven, is the backup on an NTFS filesystem
[07:17] <helpme> hello? i m in trouble..help please
[07:17] <Wolvenhaven> no, it's on FAT unfortunately
[07:17] <codebrainz> helpme, sounds like a drive issue
[07:18] <codebrainz> Wolvenhaven, maybe try tarring the files into an archive and restore from that
[07:18] <helpme> so what do i do?
[07:18] <John__> Help?
[07:18] <John__> Hello?
[07:18] <codebrainz> helpme, what driver are you using, what card are you using, etc
[07:18] <hobbitriddles> rus_bear: hola!
[07:18] <Wolvenhaven> codebrainz: i only want to select certain folders and files, not the entire thing because i have too much junk
[07:18] <panda5> hi when i use google chrome and try to watch a flash video it crashes chrome it was working fine until today mozilla works fine any ideas what to do?
[07:19] <helpme> intel graphics card,(in built)
[07:19] <codebrainz> Wolvenhaven, can you copy out the files to a linux filesystem, tar those files, and restore from that?
[07:19] <rus_bear> please, help me. I have one NTFS and one ext3 with ubuntu. Do I need to defragment my disk?
[07:19] <Wolvenhaven> would taring remove the user associated with them?
[07:19] <codebrainz> rus_bear, not the ext3 one anyway
[07:20] <helpme> intel graphics card,(in built)... ???
[07:20] <rus_bear> and do I need it for NTFS?
[07:20] <codebrainz> Wolvenhaven, tarring the original files will preserve their attributes/modes/whatever while you transfer to FAT
[07:21] <tacoman> hello
[07:21] <sanshao> hello
[07:21] <rus_bear> hello
[07:21] <rus_bear> =)
[07:21] <Gryllida> Why is ircd-seven absent in the ubuntu repositories? Hello? Should I ask here or better #freenode-seven? Who makes this decision?
[07:21] <tacoman> i am running ubuntu 10.04 64 bit, i am having a dual screen problem, i can't set the correct resolution on my first one (which is 1680x1050)
[07:21] <tacoman> any help would be greatly appreciated.
[07:21] <codebrainz> tacoman, what kind of gfx card?
[07:21] <John__> I am trying to install the nvidia accelerated graphics driver (through the hardware drivers program) and when I click activate it says 'SystemError: installArchives() failed'. help?
[07:21] <tacoman> ATI 5750
[07:22] <tacoman> ( i know ati support sucks on linux. :(
[07:22] <John__> anyone?
[07:22] <rus_bear> codebrainz: please, answer me if you can
[07:22] <und3rgr0undz3r0> anyone know of a decent tablet that ubuntu MID runs well on?
[07:22] <rabbit1> guys, i use pidgin, and play vlc, i want the now playing as status, i have installed mpris plugin. now how do i make that to display in status?
[07:22] <codebrainz> rus_bear, i would assume the NTFS would need defragging, unless linux uses it different than windows
[07:23] <codebrainz> tacoman, i have ati and mine works fine when i configure with the "Monitor" thingy in the main menu
[07:23] <John__> I am trying to install the nvidia accelerated graphics driver (through the hardware drivers program) and when I click activate it says 'SystemError: installArchives() failed'. help?
[07:23] <rus_bear> How can I do it from Ubuntu?
[07:23] <Blue1> codebrainz: I wish they had an ext4 degragger
[07:23] <John__> HELLO
[07:23] <Blue1> defragger
[07:23] <tacoman> codebrainz: that is what i'm trying to use.
[07:23] <codebrainz> Blue1, i don't think ext4 fragments too much
[07:23] <tacoman> when i boot into windows, it finds my correct resolution, so i know it must be a problem with ubuntu 10.04 64 bit
[07:23] <und3rgr0undz3r0> Blue1: they do, but I doing so could totally ruin your system
[07:23] <Blue1> codebrainz: no, not as much as ntfs, but it still does frag
[07:24] <John__> I am trying to install the nvidia accelerated graphics driver (through the hardware drivers program) and when I click activate it says 'SystemError: installArchives() failed'. help?
[07:24] <Blue1> und3rgr0undz3r0: yeah that's what I have heard
[07:24] <codebrainz> Blue1, i don't think it's enough to warrant a "defrag" per se.  could be wrong
[07:24] <Nick_Meister> hi guys i am having issues with my sound card, alsa is recognizing it while pulse is not
[07:24] <tacoman> John__:  i had that before, i just formatted, couldn't find a fix..
[07:24] <codebrainz> John__, try envyng from the repos
[07:24] <John__> Well I just installed this
[07:24] <John__> like, just THEN
[07:24] <rus_bear> I'm at a loss
[07:25] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: what kind of sound card?
[07:25] <John__> codebrainz: what's that?
[07:25] <tacoman> yeah
[07:25] <codebrainz> John__, a program made to install proprietary drivers easily
[07:25] <tacoman> anywho codebrainz  any idea?
[07:25] <John__> k
[07:25] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)
[07:25] <John__> Yeah I just installed and updated this system
[07:25] <ydb_> what is  this
[07:25] <codebrainz> tacoman, does it give any errors or anything?
[07:25] <tacoman> a ubuntu help channel, ydb_
[07:25] <rus_bear> defrag or not defrag - that is a question(C)
[07:25] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  defraging what?
[07:26] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: hmm that is pretty well supported (ac97) by pulse - don't know if the chip is though
[07:26] <rus_bear> ext3 and ntfs in Ubuntu
[07:26] <tacoman> codebrainz: nope, just doesn't show 1680x1050, highest resolution it shows is 1440x900
[07:26] <tacoman> but then any other linux distro shows 1680x1050 ^_^
[07:26] <Blue1> tacoman: I use 1024x768 but then I am old and need large print
[07:27] <codebrainz> tacoman, maybe try playing around with randr and or xorg.conf
[07:27] <tacoman> yeah, i like my resolution though..
[07:27] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, it was a total battle o get it to work even in alsa
[07:27] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  not much need to defrag ext3. and im not sure of what tools exist to defrag ntfs in linux
[07:27] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: you are using 32 bit, or 64 bit?
[07:27] <well_laid_lawn> tacoman: read the x log to find out why you can't get the res?
[07:27] <codebrainz> rus_bear, http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsdefrag
[07:27] <tacoman> btw, nice server guys, took around 5-10 minutes to download
[07:27] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, 32
[07:28] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: any error messages in the system log?
[07:28] <rus_bear> Dr_Willis: if I format ntfs to ext3, would I see two "tomes" like in Windows?
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  linux dose disk mounting totally differnt.
[07:28] <ydb_> 这个只能是英文？
[07:28] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  you can mount a filesystem anywhere you want.
[07:28] <tacoman> english
[07:28] <codebrainz> what are "tomes"?
[07:29] <red2kic> ydb_: 英文是个这能只!
[07:29] <red2kic> !cn | ydb_
[07:29] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  once you get used to the linux way. You realize how silly the  windows way is. :)
[07:29] <Blue1> japanese or chinese can't tell
[07:29] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, doesnt look like it
[07:29] <ydb_> i see
[07:29] <tacoman> anywho Blue1, the resolutions just don't look right on the monitor unless its the native resolution
[07:30] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, its reall weird cause alsa works completely yet pulse doesnt even know it exists
[07:30] <Blue1> tacoman: mine looks great
[07:30] <tacoman> really just depends on the monitor i guess :p
[07:30] <red2kic> ydb_: I was just playing with you but my random answer actually answered your question. :)
[07:30] <codebrainz> tacoman, are you using to span both monitors, or mirror?
[07:30] <John__> yallo
[07:30] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: I had an issue with a turtle beach card - upgrade to an sblive card and problem went away - dunno
[07:31] <John__> ok
[07:31] <John__> ok
[07:31] <John__> codebrainz: that program doesn't exist in my repos
[07:31] <John__> envyng
[07:31] <John__> codebrainz: envyng
[07:31] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, that made no sense...
[07:31] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: what kind of things are happening with your card?  did it work in previous releases of ubuntu?
[07:31] <tacoman> erm codebrainz, i'm just trying to extend it, so i can drag windows onto the other onew
[07:31] <Dr_Willis> !mount | rus_bear
[07:31] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, i dunno i never had ubuntu on this motherboard
[07:31] <tacoman> which i can do right now, but it just doesn't look good without its native resolution
[07:32] <codebrainz> John__, envyng-core, envyng-gtk, etc.  do a package search
[07:32] <rus_bear> Dr_Willis: I need ext3, not ntfs
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  each filesystem has its own '/dev/sdXX' type entry - you can mount them to whatever location you want.  So you will see 2 'filesystems' - yes
[07:32] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: how did you install ubuntu?
[07:32] <John__> codebrainz: I did
[07:32] <John__> I searched exactly: envyng
[07:32] <rus_bear> please, answer in th private room
[07:32]  * Prez00 just got his first kindle :-)
[07:32] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, the normal way of the cd lol
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  so repartition it, reformat it, mount it where you want
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  you want to KEEP the data on the ntfs? or is it  ok to delete it?
[07:32] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: no I mean upgrade or fresh install?
[07:32] <rus_bear> do I have to mount ext3???
[07:32] <codebrainz> John__, not sure then, it shows up here.  look on the web for it, it's just a python script(s)
[07:32] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, fresh install
[07:32] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  you mount EVERY FILESYSTEM - so yes
[07:32] <Blue1> rus_bear: short answer yes
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  if you want to access it - that is.. :)
[07:33]  * Prez00 also had to reformat external drive to fat32 so that ps3 could read it...
[07:33] <jsquared> Whenever I run `sudo apt-get ...`, it immediately dies. I can no longer update/install anything with Synaptic, Aptitude, or apt-get.
[07:33] <jsquared> What's up with that?
[07:33] <rus_bear> and system ext3 mounts automatically?
[07:33] <codebrainz> jsquared, no errors?
[07:33] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: dunno will take someone with better knowledge
[07:33] <Dr_Willis> rus_bear:  No it does not.
[07:33] <jsquared> codebrainz: It just says "Reading package lists..." and then is killed (for apt-get).   I find the canadian ones suck
[07:34] <John__> codebrainz: some searching shows ubuntu 10.04 is not supported
[07:34] <John__> codebrainz: some searching shows ubuntu 10.04 is not supported
[07:34] <bubastis> Hi all!
[07:34] <codebrainz> John__, bummer
[07:34] <John__> So what to do?
[07:34] <Ziaeon> http://media.fukung.net/images/20814/1bc9885d12eb727fdd49f4c226ce94cf.jpg
[07:35] <well_laid_lawn> !aptfix | jsquared
[07:35] <codebrainz> John__, i think try straight from nvidia/ati/whoever site, it shouldn't be hard to install
[07:35] <Blue1> codebrainz: some of ati is in legacy support - which means it's not supported by the vendor anymore
[07:36] <codebrainz> Blue1, ah ... bummer
[07:36] <jsquared> well_laid_lawn: the database is fine, nothing is locked
[07:36] <codebrainz> jsquared, what mirrors are in /etc/apt/sources.list?  pastebin this file's contents
[07:36] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: what does it sound like if you try to play an mp3 or something?
[07:37] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, i cant play an mp3 or something since pulse thinks the hardware dont exist
[07:37] <Flannel> Ziaeon: Please don't post offtopic images here.  Thanks.
[07:38] <sri> hey, has anybody gotten iphone working on lucid?  I haven't had any luck.
[07:38] <red2kic> !iphone | sri
[07:38] <jsquared> codebrainz: http://pastebin.com/kNekdC9H
[07:38] <Ziaeon> Flannel: oh, sorry, I didn't realize
[07:38] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: okay gotcha  -- please give me the specs on the card again let me search and see what I can find.
[07:38] <Spyzer> i have seen many threads regarding dial up connection in ubuntu, but my problem is that while setting dial up through gnome-ppp it doesn;t detect my modem which is the cell phone connected thru usb
[07:38] <Spyzer> please help
[07:38] <Spyzer> please
[07:38] <sri> ooo.. links.
[07:38]  * sri checks.
[07:39] <codebrainz> jsquared, remove the us. part from all those lines so it's http://archive.ubuntu....
[07:39] <Blue1> Spyzer: i think an episode of hak5.org dealt with tethering to a cell phone -- YMMV --
[07:39] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] AC'97 Sound Controller (rev a0)
[07:39] <sri> doh!  i had to unlock the phone first.
[07:39] <Blue1> sis that's what I needed
[07:39] <jsquared> codebrainz: Here's what I don't get: this was working literally 30 minutes ago.
[07:39] <sri> yay for links and automated bots.
[07:39] <sri> later
[07:39] <jsquared> codebrainz: I haven't touched this file. Why would changing the sources fix anything?
[07:40] <codebrainz> jsquared, flaky mirrors maybe?  I've had similar problems, just sharing my solution
[07:40] <jsquared> okay
[07:40] <jsquared> I'll give it a shot
[07:40] <codebrainz> jsquared, then apt-get update after changing
[07:40] <uodo> awesome
[07:41] <jsquared> codebrainz: exact same results
[07:41] <uodo> now that i am out of graphics mode.. i am using text mode..
[07:41] <uodo> that black screen is killing me.. help
[07:41] <jsquared> This is colossally retarded and makes almost no sense. Grr.
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> uodo:  be a bit more clear in your problem.
[07:42] <uodo> yes sir..
[07:42] <codebrainz> jsquared, it makes sense if the mirror(s) you're using aren't working properly
[07:42] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: what happens if you run alsamixer at a terminal prompt?
[07:42] <jsquared> codebrainz: Is there a way to manually check?
[07:42] <Flannel> jsquared: What do you mean "immediately dies"?
[07:43] <uodo> evrytime i login in gnome, its works fine, but after some time, black screen appears and i havr to restart my pc to start over again.
[07:43] <jsquared> Flannel: I'm not sure how I can be more clear than that. `sudo apt-get install ...` prints "Reading package lists" and then immediately dies.
[07:43] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, alsamixer runs fine
[07:43] <Blue1> uodo: what kind of video card/driver?
[07:43] <jsquared> Flannel: Right back to the shell.
[07:43] <Dr_Willis> uodo:  it crashes/goes black as you are4 working on it? or after it idles for some time?
[07:43] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, and i can play audio through alsa too
[07:43] <Flannel> jsquared: by "dies" do you... right.
[07:43] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: what does it say for the chip?
[07:44] <uodo> blue.. its intel graphics.. in-biilts
[07:44] <Nick_Meister> Blue1,  SigmaTel STAC9758,59
[07:44] <codebrainz> jsquared, did you try changing the urls like i recommended?
[07:44] <uodo> dr, both ways to goes blank
[07:44] <jsquared> codebrainz: Yep. That's what I meant by "exact same result" earlier.
[07:44] <Blue1> uodo: I've had some problems with intel cards
[07:44] <jsquared> codebrainz: I didn't change the "security" ones at the bottom, but they don't have us in them.
[07:44] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: wow that's one I've never heard of.
[07:44] <Flannel> jsquared: So, installation isn't happy.  Does `sudo apt-get update` cause problems?
[07:45] <uodo> Blue1, so what to do?
[07:45] <Flannel> jsquared: This wouldn't be caused by flaky mirrors
[07:45] <John__> what do I do with .run files?
[07:45] <jsquared> Flannel: `sudo apt-get <anything that requires reading a package list>` fails as I described.
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> John__:  chmod +x whatever.run   then ./whatever.run
[07:45] <Sam_Fisher> Howdy ya'll!
[07:45] <Dr_Willis> John__:  what IS the .run file exactly?  sudo may be needed
[07:45] <Sam_Fisher> Dr_Willis, howdy
[07:45] <Flannel> jsquared: `sudo apt-get update` doesn't "read package lists"
[07:46] <jsquared> Oh, sorry, thought you wrote upgrade.
[07:46] <Blue1> !hcl
[07:46] <mneptok> Flannel: yes, it does.
[07:46] <codebrainz> Flannel, last line on update is "Reading package lists..."
[07:46] <jsquared> Flannel: The update works, but then it dies as soon as it gets to the package-list-reading part.
[07:46] <John__> errr
[07:46] <uodo> Dr_willis, what do i do??
[07:47] <John__> how do I switch 'screens'?
[07:47] <Sam_Fisher> so what did I screw up? When I am in a folder (music) I hit the cute magnifying glass and type in a valid search term (oops I did it again) and it searches all my folders not just Music!
[07:47] <Flannel> codebrainz, mneptok: yes, but it would output other stuff before that, and thus, wouldn't fail as he described before.
[07:47] <John__> like ctrl f1-f7 is it?
[07:47] <codebrainz> Flannel, agreed
[07:47] <John__> How do I switch to text mode screens
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> uodo:  i would determine the exact chipset of the video card. and then check the forums. Some intel chipsets have issues.
[07:47] <Flannel> codebrainz, mneptok: the point was his previous answer wasn't correct, and he should actually try it.
[07:47] <Dr_Willis> John__:  alt-ctrl-f1 throguh f6    F7 to get back (or higher)
[07:47] <uodo> ok.. thanks willis...
[07:47] <uodo> c ya doc.
[07:47] <John__> Dr_Willis: thanks
[07:47] <Flannel> jsquared: Alright.  So, if we wanted to pick something, we'd say your package lists were corrupt or something similar.
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> John__:  what are you installing?
[07:48] <alabd> Good day all , what is name of the software that is able to show transfered images in Network ?
[07:48] <Blue1> Nick_Meister: the hcl (hardware compatability list) doesn't show that chip as being supported (YMMV) -- https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsSoundCardsSis  sorry best I can do for you - I realise not a solution
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> alabd:  clarify what you mean,
[07:48] <John__> Dr_Willis: a nvidia driver that asks me to exit X server
[07:48] <jsquared> Err, wtf. After running the update, I now have an uninterruptible apt-get process in my system monitor.
[07:48] <Dr_Willis> John__:  you HAVE used the nvidia drivers from the repositories and the 'hardware-manager' tool ?
[07:48] <John__> Dr_Willis: Yeah, it doesn't work
[07:48] <John__> anyway, brb
[07:49] <Dr_Willis> John__:  good luck then
[07:49] <John__> Dr_Willis: thanks
[07:49] <jsquared> Now my dpkg database is locked. Ugh.
[07:49] <jsquared> fuser -vki doesn't clear it, either; the process can't be killed
[07:49] <alabd> Dr_Willis:  there is a software that is able to show images that are downloaded by users in network
[07:49] <jsquared> I guess I'll just reboot and hope this goes away.
[07:50] <jsquared> Thanks for your help {codebrainz Flannel}.
[07:50] <John__> nope, it still says I have an x server running
[07:50] <codebrainz> alabd, like you want to sniff the network and recompose pictures that are being downloaded?
[07:50] <John__> how do I temporarily disable X?
[07:50] <John__> how do I temporarily disable X?
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> John__:  which you do. :)
[07:50] <John__> Dr_Willis: Lol :)
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> John__:  stop the gdm service. 'sudo service gdm stop'
[07:50] <Flannel> jsquared: If it doesn't, delete /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin and srcpackagecache.bin in that same directory, then try and update again.
[07:50] <John__> Dr_Willis: and to start it again?
[07:50] <Nick_Meister> Blue1, i knew it wasnt supported like 3 hours ago lol, but i already got it to work with alsa, so i just got a little bit left
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> John__:  logically enough ...
[07:51] <Sam_Fisher> Where do I change the search characteristics of SEARCH?
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> John__:  stop the gdm service. 'sudo service gdm start'
[07:51] <John__> Dr_Willis: okay, thanks :)
[07:51] <frank> hello
[07:51] <frank> anybody thre???
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> frank:  1379 people here
[07:51] <Sam_Fisher> frank, Nope go away
[07:51] <Dr_Willis> - a few bots. :)
[07:52] <codebrainz> Sam_Fisher, "characteristics of SEARCH"... what does that mean?  what do you want to change?
[07:52] <doodgraver> ;]
[07:52] <frank> i have a prob
[07:52] <frank> don no how to solve this!!
[07:52] <Sam_Fisher> codebrainz,  When I am in a folder (music) I hit the cute magnifying glass and type in a valid search term (oops I did it again) and it searches all my folders not just Music!
[07:52] <Dr_Willis> frank:  you have to state the... err.. never mind...
[07:53] <hocus> frank,  State your problem!
[07:53] <Dr_Willis> Guess frank figured out what the close button does
[07:53] <Sam_Fisher> Dr_Willis, LOL
[07:53] <hocus> Dr_Willis,  ahaha
[07:53] <Sam_Fisher> Dr_Willis, we tried!
[07:53] <codebrainz> Sam_Fisher, not 100%, but i think there's a thingy under System->Prefs->Search & Indexing
[07:54] <Sam_Fisher> Oh I am so changing my name to JumboJellyFish!
[07:54] <jsquared> codebrainz: Flannel: Well, whatever the issue was, it's apparently gone now.
[07:54] <jsquared> Rebooting fixed it.
[07:55] <Flannel> jsquared: Good to hear, at any rate.
[07:55] <codebrainz> jsquared, the old "Windows Fix" eh
[07:55] <Sam_Fisher> codebrainz, I can't find it but it is supposed to be there. I see it when I open MAIN MENU
[07:55] <John___> ok
[07:55] <jsquared> 10.04 sure seems a lot more flaky than 9.10 was. I've had a bunch of seemingly random hangs and minor problems like this in the past week.
[07:55] <Sam_Fisher> Peanut Butter JumboJellyFish!
[07:55] <John___> So it said it couldn't find nvidia.ku or something
[07:55] <jsquared> Is that a general consensus or just me?
[07:55] <John___> when I tried to install.
[07:55] <John___> This is really annoying, why the hell can't I get this driver installed?1
[07:56] <Sam_Fisher> jsquared, Not to me. Seems better all the way round.
[07:56] <rww> jsquared: it's more stable than 9.10 was for me :\
[07:56] <jsquared> Probably just my computer being lame. Ubuntu is awesome in general.
[07:56] <codebrainz> jsquared, i haven't used it as thoroughly as the last version, but haven't had any issues, everything "just worked" with this version
[07:56] <codebrainz> except for the UI changes that are lame
[07:56] <Sam_Fisher> jsquared, I did have to reinstall from scratch on a uograde in place on the laptop but that was likely my fault from constant tweaking
[07:57] <jsquared> codebrainz: I've tweaked the hell out of gnome so it just grabbed all my settings and I don't really see the UI changes.
[07:57] <jsquared> codebrainz: I assume you're talking about things like the window buttons being on the left, etc.
[07:57] <codebrainz> jsquared, yeah mostly.  luckily it's easy to change such things
[07:58] <jsquared> Yay open source :)
[07:58] <wildbat> anyone have idea, how to fix the system alert sound with compiz ? it seem if i am using compiz, it made some of the sound disappear(e.g. backspace while the inputbox is empty), but metacity work prefect with the sound theme.
[07:59] <jsquared> Sam_Fisher: I had similar problems, dist-upgrade was angry at me :P Also, had to install a much newer update of nvidia-glx than I had before, and that made things very cranky until I updated my xconfig to make it play nice
[07:59] <rww> wildbat: it's a rather complicated known bug. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/301174
[07:59] <Sam_Fisher> codebrainz, thanks that worked! Now I can't find "oops I did it again" Can you share your copy?
[08:00] <codebrainz> Sam_Fisher, sorry, copy of which?
[08:00] <Sam_Fisher> rww, Wrong! those are features
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> wow - i got my bluetooth headphone working with 10.04. but the audio quality is very poor, :(
[08:01] <wildbat> rww, ohhh ~ so currently there is no workaround?
[08:01] <Sam_Fisher> codebrainz, thanks for the help. I don't know if I was over looking the preference or I added it back in with Main MEnu
[08:01] <codebrainz> wildbat, is there a setting in CCSM called General Options->Audible System Bell?
[08:01] <Sam_Fisher> Dr_Willis, Kool!
[08:01] <rww> wildbat: as I understand it, that's correct
[08:01] <Dr_Willis> Sam_Fisher:  then it just 'died' on me. :()
[08:02] <Dr_Willis> Sam_Fisher:  but this is the farest ive ever gotten with Bluetooth Headphones working :)
[08:02] <wildbat> codebrainz, yes
[08:02] <codebrainz> wildbat, is that enabled?
[08:02] <Sam_Fisher> Dr_Willis, I want my Gizmo5 to Googlevoice to Xlite to use my Motorola Bluetooth
[08:02] <John___> codebrainz: Installing the driver manually had errors too.
[08:02] <grind> hey guys, as of this last day my ubuntu 10.04 now moves my mouse to the active window i switch too, how the hell do i get rid of that?
[08:02] <wildbat> codebrainz, it is
[08:02] <John___> codebrainz: what should I do now?'
[08:03] <codebrainz> John___, you could start by elaborating on "had errors" :)
[08:03] <Sam_Fisher> grind, isn't that desired?
[08:03] <forceflow> how do I grep for the same words seperated by a space?
[08:04] <grind> Sam_fisherL no its highly annoying
[08:04] <jsquared> forceflow: `grep "foo foo" .` ?
[08:04] <pigeta> hi guys
[08:04] <forceflow> jsquared: no, the words should be variable :)
[08:04] <grind> Sam_fisher: when i alt tab to saw terminal, the mouse moves over to the center of the window
[08:04] <pigeta> need a help with my wi-fi pen
[08:04] <John___> codebrainz: well first it said the distribution-supplied start up script had failed, and I chose to continue -- then it said the installation had failed because it didn't have a nivida.ku or something file and it's often caused by kernel errors or something
[08:04] <grind> say*
[08:04] <Sam_Fisher> pigeta, welcome to the end of the internet
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> Sam_Fisher:  the mic did seem to work.  I wonder if the quality could be due to the bluetooth dongle being Inside my pc.  I plugged mine into the short cable from my Magic Jack
[08:06] <pigeta> but if i type on terminal lsusb it see my wi-fi pen
[08:06] <Slart> forceflow: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Regular.html#uh-10
[08:06] <Sam_Fisher> Dr_Willis, what drivers do i need to play this game?
[08:06] <codebrainz> John___, iirc you need to be out of X and whatnot.  boot with the kernel option "single" (add it to kernel line in grub)
[08:06] <Sam_Fisher> Wish MagiJack worked on LInux
[08:06] <John___> codebrainz: I was out of X.
[08:06] <codebrainz> John___, and do an apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[08:06] <Dr_Willis> Sam_Fisher:  i just set mine im pariing mode. then followed the 'add new bluetooth' wizard
[08:06] <Sam_Fisher> Anyone using Linksys Pap2 ATA to Voip?
[08:06] <John___> codebrainz: what is uname? my username on the computer?
[08:07] <John___> how do I add to kernel line in grub
[08:07] <codebrainz> John___, uname -r prints the kernel version
[08:07] <grind> When i alt tab to a window in 10.04, the mouse moves over to the center of the newly active window
[08:07] <Slart> forceflow: I think you'll end up with something like   grep '\([a-z]+\) \1'
[08:07] <codebrainz> John___, press Esc to get to grub menu, it's straight forward to edit, even has instructions right there on the screen
[08:07] <greezmunkey> mysql is dead, is it possible to send the result of a query to a file? If so how?
[08:07] <John___> linux-headers-2.6.32-22-generic is already the newest version.
[08:08] <John___> codebrainz: do I need to install grub?
[08:08] <codebrainz> John___, you should have it isntalled already
[08:08] <codebrainz> John___, just reboot and press Esc repeatedly
[08:09] <Robinsen> hi
[08:09] <grind> When i alt tab to a window in 10.04, the mouse moves over to the center of the newly active window
[08:10] <grind> need to stop that >:|
[08:10] <codebrainz> grind, what window manager?
[08:10] <Dr_Willis> Sam_Fisher:  better audio now,.  Never put a Bluetooth Dongle INSIDE the pc case. :) even if its convient
[08:10] <jsquared> Slart: that will reuse the same regular expression, but it could match something different
[08:10] <Robinsen> could someone suggest a webcam chat tool for ubuntu?
[08:10] <grind> running everything standard codebrainz
[08:10] <codebrainz> grind are you running compiz or metacity?  fancy effects or not fancy effects?
[08:11] <Slart> jsquared: sure? that's copy/pasted from a regular expressions tutorial
[08:11] <grind> codebrainz, nope not running compiz or metacity, and i have apperances on extra with everything stock
[08:12] <codebrainz> grind, so you're running compiz.  go to the compizconfig-settings-manager and poke around for the relevant setting
[08:12] <john__> indeed
[08:12] <john__> Okay, codebrainz
[08:12] <john__> codebrainz: pressing esc at startup gets me into something where it asks me if I want to boot from CD or HDD
[08:12] <grind> condebrainz, hmm i'll install the settings manager and have a look
[08:13] <codebrainz> john__, so press hdd and then keep pressing Esc
[08:13] <jsquared> Slart: Hm. Well, I just tried `echo "foo foo" | egrep "\(foo\) \1"` and it didn't work
[08:13] <john__> codebrainz: I did, nothing happens
[08:14] <john__> just gets me to normal login screen
[08:14] <Slart> jsquared: mm.. I'm playing around with it as well.. I've made it understand double characters so far.. not words though
[08:14] <codebrainz> john__, maybe grub2 is different, but it should be straight forward to get to the grub menu still
[08:14] <Dr_Willis> actually isent it the shift key that shows the grub menu? I always make it 'always show' so i never rember
[08:14] <Sam_Fisher> shift key shows grub during boot
[08:14] <codebrainz> Dr_Willis, same here, not sure with grub2 though
[08:15] <Sam_Fisher> Dr_Willis, is always correct even when mistaken
[08:15] <codebrainz> i think grub legacy was the Esc key wasn't it?
[08:15] <Sam_Fisher> Grub2 shows extra boot screen if you hit SHIFT during boot
[08:15] <Dr_Willis> Ya got to wonder why they souldent let any key show the menu. :)
[08:15] <codebrainz> I don't like grub2
[08:16] <Sam_Fisher> Of course this is if you haven't screwed it up so bad that it doesn't show it
[08:16] <well_laid_lawn> jsquared:  echo "foo foo" | egrep  " foo"
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> heres my grub2 cfg to alwauys show the menu.. and Play a little TUNE  as grub shows,. :)
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> /etc/default/grub
[08:16] <Dr_Willis> http://pastebin.com/qHMpGuf9
[08:16] <Slart> jsquared: hmm.. it seems the + is an egrep thing.. echo "bla blaa blaa bla blo blo" | grep '\([a-z]*\) \1'  seems to work
[08:16] <grind> cheers codebrainz
[08:16] <Sam_Fisher> codebrainz, I don't see any benefit to it either but from reading it is better cleaner programing
[08:16] <jsquared> Slart: "*" means "match zero or more characters of this kind", so that will always work
[08:16] <jsquared> Slart: (because it can just match zero characters twice)
[08:17] <codebrainz> Sam_Fisher, it's "better" but the way it's configured now is more for programmers than users. .. imho
[08:17] <jsquared> Slart: "+" means "match this character at least once"
[08:17] <Sam_Fisher> Speaking of Compiz. They are sending me an update right now!
[08:17] <Dr_Willis> Regular expressions Fundamentals. :) well ok not fundamentals.. but its somthign  that a Lot of people forget about the + and * differances
[08:17] <Slart> jsquared: mm, I know.. but + isn't available with ordinary regular expressions.. it's in the extended version
[08:18] <jsquared> ah
[08:18] <Sam_Fisher> codebrainz, I agree! I can't wait for it to be easier to understand by mortals.  I spent hours here with Grub victims!
[08:18] <jsquared> That's surprising. It's not like "+" is a particularly advanced/powerful feature
[08:18] <jsquared> in fact it's a subset of "*", which is already there
[08:18] <codebrainz> Sam_Fisher, what it needs is a GUI to configure it, i think
[08:19] <wise_crypt> !language Sam_Fisher
[08:19] <Slart> jsquared: this works nicely, can't think of anything it doesn't handle.. except upper case/lower case stuff     echo "abla bla blaa blaa bla blo blo" | grep '\<\([a-z]*\) \1\>'
[08:20] <jsquared> err
[08:20] <jsquared> what's the <> for?
[08:20] <Slart> jsquared: it's a word ending symbol.. it matches spaces, beginning/end of string, newline and such
[08:20] <codebrainz> Sam_Fisher, I'm starting to think extlinux (syslinux) should be the default.  much easier to configure/understand
[08:21] <jsquared> WTF, really? I've never heard of that as a regex matching symbol.
[08:21] <Slart> jsquared: or rather < is word start.. > is word ending
[08:21] <Sam_Fisher> codebrainz, I live in fear that my Grub will break! I am triple booting so it is a daily thing.
[08:22] <wise_crypt> !info bash-doc
[08:24] <thedestructor> i need help with conky...i copied a conkyrc file but its showing this error
[08:24] <thedestructor> can't open '/sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/temp1_input
[08:25] <Dr_Willis> thedestructor:   could be it was written for an older kernel that had that 'file' or for specific hardware that has that file
[08:25] <fr0nk> hi
[08:25] <aswin> Dr_Willis to rescue again
[08:25] <aswin> :)
[08:25] <aswin> so what should i do now?
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> aswin:  look in the direectory its accessing and see what files are there
[08:26] <Dr_Willis> aswin:  or comment out/remove that entry from the conky config
[08:26] <Guest54692> hey there you bun too!
[08:28] <fr0nk> Hi, i have the "simplebox" gnome theme installed. Is there a way to get rid of the window borders? I'd like to have no window borders at all and more shadow. The problem is I couldn't find a way to modify the theme. I'm used to beryl where I can modify every setting granularly of every theme. How do I do this with metacity themes?
[08:29] <anirvana> I want to install wireless on ubuntu?How to do it?
[08:29] <akaustav> Hello, I have got a serious problem on my hands.
[08:29] <anirvana> Currently I am in windows?Can I download packages here and later on install on ubuntu?
[08:30] <codebrainz> fr0nk, download a theme from gnome-look and have a look inside to see how it's done
[08:30] <akaustav> I recently resized my ubuntu partition from 5 GB to 10 GB.
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> anirvana:  its possible.  But can be a hassle. I just run a wire  as a temp connection till i get the hardware-drivers tool to download needed stuff
[08:30] <Dr_Willis> anirvana:  it also depends on your wireless chipset
[08:31] <anirvana> Dr_Willis , But I don't have a wired connection :(
[08:31] <akaustav> And then, when I start my netbook, a black screen comes with 'grub restore >' written on it.
[08:31] <krashed> any linux guru mind helping me with a graphics card driver issue ?
[08:31] <akaustav> There is also a message saying 'Invalid file system'
[08:31] <ikorm> Hello, my ubuntu amd64 laptop is freezing randomly and by this I mean not able to do nothing on it until restart. What can I do to fix this?
[08:31] <Dr_Willis> anirvana:  you need to determine your exact wirless chipset. and what files you will need.  the hardware-manager tool might help in that area
[08:32] <thedestructor__> Dr_Willis how to delete that?what to delete
[08:32] <codebrainz> akaustav, how did you resize the partition?
[08:32] <anirvana> ok
[08:32] <Dr_Willis> thedestructor__:  delete what?
[08:32] <thedestructor__> you told right to delete that part which is accessing the location
[08:32] <akaustav> codebrainz: I used a pen drive running Ubuntu Live.
[08:32] <thedestructor__> i dont know
[08:32] <codebrainz> akaustav, and gparted?
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> thedestructor__:  edit the conky config  you are trying to use. Time to learn how to config conky. :()
[08:33] <akaustav> codebrainz: And used gparted to resize it.
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> thedestructor__:  its a fancy text file. use a text editor.
[08:33] <codebrainz> akaustav, no errors with doing that?
[08:33] <thedestructor__> i know to open it but lots or codes are there..i dont know wat to delete in that
[08:33] <Dr_Willis> thedestructor__:  conky homepage and docs.. would be step 1 then.
[08:33] <ikorm> Hello, my ubuntu amd64 laptop is freezing randomly and by this I mean not able to do nothing on it until restart. What can I do to fix this?
[08:34] <thedestructor__> ok
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> thedestructor__:  search for a line containing that message text/path
[08:34] <Dr_Willis> thedestructor__:  lots of conky configs are 'hardcoded' and need edited for various systems
[08:34] <krashed> this computer is a dell xps gen3, it has an ati x800xt graphics card, i install the ati drivers off the website and its giving me an error saying version isnt supported, i dont know what packages would cover the drivers for the x800xt, if atis drivers are fail, i have no idea on how to get it to work
[08:34] <akaustav> codebrainz: I had an error. I tried unchecking the checkbox which said 'round off to the nearest cylinder' and gparted crashed.
[08:34] <krashed> any suggestions ?
[08:35] <akaustav> codebrainz: I again restarted gparted and resized it. This time I used the option, and it got done.
[08:35] <thedestructor__> ok thanks for helping me out again..guess i should start learning these
[08:35] <thedestructor__> :)
[08:35] <codebrainz> akaustav, you probably hosed your partition table/filesystem.  I'd re-partition the whole disk and restore data from the backups I'm sure you made.  Please ask the channel again though, i could be wrong
[08:35] <Dr_Willis> thedestructor__:  you can spend days and weeks playing with conky configs. when in doubt look at and dissect the examples out there
[08:36] <Sammael_X> Quick question: Ubuntu partitioner isnt picking up my HD for installation, yet Gparted, when run from the same liveCD, picks it up - ideas? Using 9.10 live cd.
[08:37] <codebrainz> krashed, you could try just using vesa drivers or something,or use the open source drivers, or get a different card
[08:37] <akaustav> Ok codebrainz. Can any one help me figure out why I am getting 'invalid file system' error along with 'grub restore >' at the bootup?
[08:37] <codebrainz> akaustav, cuz you foobar'd your partition table and or filesystem likely, so grub is like wtf!?
[08:38] <Dr_Willis> grub cant find any files it needs. :)
[08:38] <akaustav> codebrainz: So, I understand I have to tell grub to rescan my file system again.
[08:39] <codebrainz> akaustav, try booting from a livecd and fixing grub
[08:39] <codebrainz> akaustav, see Internet for documentation on this
[08:39] <akaustav> codebrainz: Ok.
[08:39] <codebrainz> I can't ethically say "google" something because it implies I support google and I do not.
[08:40] <Sammael_X> Anyone have any idea why the installer doesn't pick up my sata drives in 9.10, yet gparted sees them just fine?
[08:41] <binaryme> Sammaul_X: does the drive have windows on it?
[08:41] <Sammael_X> nope, all free space
[08:41] <binaryme> partionsed?
[08:41] <Sammael_X> Just wiped it with gparted off the same livecd that refuses to see it
[08:42] <codebrainz> Sammael_X, what if you boot the live cd and click Install icon on desktop?
[08:42] <Sammael_X> within the same session
[08:42] <codebrainz> ah
[08:42] <Sammael_X> codebrainz: Thats where I am
[08:42] <Sammael_X> In the installer, which doesnt see it, yet gparted does
[08:42] <Sammael_X> weird
[08:42] <codebrainz> Sammael_X, and you tried rebooting?
[08:43] <Sammael_X> Hm, will give that a shot - just seems kinda odd
[08:43] <Sammael_X> <- no stranger to linux in general, just though the installer might have been fubared
[08:43] <blah> l
[08:43] <codebrainz> Sammael_X, might have to do with it not having a partition table in the mbr or something?
[08:43] <Sammael_X> Thought it strange that gparted sees it inside the same session
[08:43] <manuel_> Is there any way I can save the settings on EasyStroke and Invest panel so I can load them when I reformat instead of inputting all the commands back in all over again?
[08:43] <Dr_Willis> Sammael_X:  ive seen others in here with similer issues. Nto sure what causes it. but theres proberly some forum posts on the topic
[08:44] <Sammael_X> codebrainz: In other Ubuntu installs I have done, the installer picks it up regardless of whether the disk has OSes, or just partitions, or nothing at all on it
[08:44] <Sammael_X> Which is why I am stumped
[08:44] <binaryme> Sammaul_X: sometimes the installed refuses to see blank drives.  put a ext4 partition on it and then retry
[08:44] <airtonix> manuel_, copy the conf files from your home folder? also next install make a separate partition for your home folder so you dont have to do this every time you want to reinstall
[08:45] <Sammael_X> binaryme: That will be the next step, should the reboot fail
[08:45] <Dr_Willis> Sammael_X:  ive seen cases where after repartitioning a HD you need to reboot for the new partition layout to be seen properly.
[08:45] <binaryme> Sammaul_X: I have seen this a few times, generally adding a fresh partion helps.
[08:46] <Sammael_X> Dr_Willis: I can understand that, but one would think it would have seen it in its original config as well, before I removed the partitions
[08:46] <manuel_> airtonix, im not certain where the config files are in my home folder. cant seem to find them
[08:46] <subzero> Hello
[08:46] <Ububegin1> Hi folks, I have just installed Ubuntu 10.. but can i change the UI such tt the close,restore,maximise are on the RIGHT SIDE instead
[08:47] <Ububegin1> i am not really left-centric
[08:47] <subzero> Ubuntu 10.4 is Greate
[08:47] <binaryme> Ububegin! yes
[08:47] <airtonix> manuel_, things to try : 1) visit the projects website. search there 2) use the locate in the terminal to find files using the project name
[08:47] <ikorm> Hello, my ubuntu amd64 laptop is freezing randomly and by this I mean not able to do nothing on it until restart. What can I do to fix this?
[08:47] <binaryme> Ububegin1 yes
[08:47] <airtonix> !controls | Ububegin1
[08:47] <ikorm> I am the only one experiencing this problem?
[08:48] <binaryme> in a console, type: gconf-editor
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> ikorm:  next time it freezes try sshing in from a differnt box on the network and see if you can figure out whats going on with it
[08:49] <binaryme> Ububegin1: go to apps - metacity - general
[08:49] <ikorm> Dr_Willis,  I have no other box and I am a beginner.
[08:49] <codebrainz> Dr_Willis, i heard somewhere that x was going to have some type of error handling al la BSOD :)
[08:49] <airtonix> manuel_, when you say "invest panel" do you mean the applet you add to the gnome-panel ?
[08:49] <Ububegin1> binaryme: is this a perm shift.. Or do i have change some config file
[08:50] <airtonix> binaryme, just tell them to follow instructions on the !controls output
[08:50] <Sammael_X> Gonna try F6 ->nodmraid, will let you guys know if it works.
[08:50] <binaryme> change it once using gconf-editor
[08:50] <airtonix> Ububegin1, just follow steps here : http://alturl.com/x5d6
[08:51] <Ububegin1> airtonix: yeah, i followed the step and entered into the terminal.. i wanna know whether this change will be permanent..or will it to change back to LHS upon rebooting it
[08:51] <binaryme> you need to reverse the menu items :  things on the left of the :  will be on the left.... the others on the right
[08:51] <codebrainz> Ububegin1, it will last until you change it back
[08:51] <airtonix> Ububegin1, well since you are changing values in the gconf, it stays that way until you change it again. thats how gconf works
[08:52] <Ububegin1> codebrainz: cheers, dude
[08:52] <Ububegin1> thanks all u guys oso
[08:52] <codebrainz> Ububegin1, gconf is kinda like windows registry, the per-user part anyway
[08:53] <manuel_> airtonix, yes the "invest panel"
[08:53] <codebrainz> someone should make a deb with a single line bash script in it that moves the buttons to the right, called maybe "metacity-buttons-fix" or something
[08:53] <Sammael_X> Looks like this is a known issue with 9.10  :/
[08:53] <airtonix> manuel_, all gnome panel applets store their settings in gconf.
[08:53] <manuel_> airtonix, i want to save all my stock quotes
[08:54] <pixolin> hello. Is there a special chat group for ubuntu netbook remix?
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> codebrainz:  thats rather trivial to do.
[08:55] <Dr_Willis> codebrainz:  and the theme files basically have such a script allready there
[08:56] <codebrainz> Dr_Willis, absolutely, but just to make it a one-click thing for beginners
[08:56] <shay27> Hello , can someone recommend me on good tool for remote desktop ? (other than the Remote desktop that come with Ubuntu)
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> codebrainz:  I figured out hwo the themes were setting things to the left. (that script) anc changed them all to keep them always on the right
[08:56] <Dr_Willis> codebrainz:  theres a little gui tool out that also lets you set them
[08:57] <airtonix> manuel_, i think all it saves is the stock codes you enter to watch. (which is in gconf (which is why i suggest you setup your new install with a separate partition for /home )
[08:57] <Phil2010> Hello all.
[08:58] <airtonix> shay27, which remote desktop tool do you mean ? (the vnc client or the RDPv5 client)
[08:58] <Phil2010> I am having a problem with KUBuntu crashing to the default Gnome login. (Ubuntu 10.04)
[08:58] <ikonia> Phil2010: can you expand on that ? why do you have gnome on a kubuntu install ?
[08:58] <codebrainz> Phil2010, "crashing"  like when kde starts up it just jumps back to GDM?
[08:59] <Phil2010> Yeah.
[08:59] <Phil2010> I installed KDE over Ubuntu ikonia
[08:59] <ikonia> Phil2010: ok, so it's an ubuntu install
[08:59] <Phil2010> Can anybody help me configure my VIA/S3GK8M800 Video chipset?
[08:59] <Guest54692> Phil2010, use ubuntu
[09:00] <ikonia> Guest54692: that's not relevant or helpful
[09:00] <Guest54692> ikonia, y
[09:00] <Phil2010> I have been using the vesa driver for the past few days.
[09:00] <Phil2010> Guest54692 Because I wanna use KUbuntu
[09:00] <ikonia> Guest54692: because he IS using ubuntu and he's having a problem
[09:00] <ikonia> Phil2010: how's it working with the vesa driver ?
[09:00] <shay27> airtonix: until now i used the Ubuntu remote desktop feature (System > Preferences > Remote Desktop) but its too slow , can you recommend me on other tool that is good ?
[09:00] <manuel_> airtonix, how much space should i dedicate to the home folder?
[09:01] <Phil2010> It's decent I still get decent video playback but I wanna get out of low res
[09:01] <ikonia> Phil2010: do you get the crashing problem ?
[09:01] <manuel_> airtonix, that would actually be a smart idea to do that
[09:01] <Phil2010> Yes when I go to log in it shows 5 icons then shows the 6th Icon but then crashes back to the login screen.
[09:01] <pixolin> shay27: did you try teamviewer?
[09:01] <ikonia> Phil2010: ok - so I'd be more interested in resolving that before you start changing away from vesa
[09:02] <Slart> Phil2010: sure there's not a typo in that model string? I get no hits on google at all for S3GK8M800
[09:02] <piglit> hello, i have got a old labtop like 1.8GHz P4 only usb1.1 and i want o use a linksys WUSB54GC, in my desktop the usb wifi is detected and i can use it at once but the labtop seems to have some problems i can see it when i do: lsusb but then i dont know what to do next
[09:02] <Phil2010> VIA/S3G Unichrome pro IGP K8M800 Is my Chipset.
[09:02] <shay27> no
[09:03] <Slart> Phil2010: ah, thanks
[09:04] <pixolin> shay27: have a look at teamviewer.com they have a linux-download too. Easy tool to administrate remote computers.
[09:06] <HypothesisFrog> hi. I'm trying to edit fstab so that it mounts two of my spare partitions in read/write mode.
[09:06] <HypothesisFrog> rather than just read only.
[09:06] <red2kic> !fstab | HypothesisFrog
[09:06] <HypothesisFrog> anyone got any help on that>?
[09:06] <HypothesisFrog> cheers
[09:07] <pavel_> use root
[09:07] <jords> Any way to immediately clear the dns cache's in my ubuntu system? I've setup a domain to go to a testing server in /etc/hosts, ping goes to the testing server but chrome and firefox don't go to the one specified in hosts. all the dns caching makes me tear my hair out when doing server migrations :Z
[09:07] <ikonia> jords: why do you think it's dns cache ?
[09:08] <Slart> !pastebin | Phil2010
[09:09] <jords> ikonia: Why else would ping go to one server, and links in a terminal go to another?
[09:10] <ikonia> jords: I don't suspect that's dns at all, as they should both use the same resolver
[09:10] <jords> ikonia: That's true, except i have this problem quite often and only time and reboots seem to solve it
[09:11] <ikonia> jords: if a reboot solves it, it's not dns cache
[09:13] <pixolin> is anyone here more familiar with ubuntu netbook remix?
[09:14] <red2kic> !beamanandstartaskingtherealquestions | pixolin
[09:14] <red2kic> !anyone | pixolin
[09:14] <HypothesisFrog> pixolin familiarish
[09:15] <pixolin> i would like to remove the indicator applet from the panel but it looks like deleting the indicator applet removes the complete netbook package, too.
[09:15] <FireCrotch> jords: Do you perhaps have dnsmasq installed on the machine?
[09:15] <mulka> I can't get stuff to run in the background on Ubuntu 10.04. :-( how can I fix this?
[09:16] <Guest54692> mulka, y
[09:16] <pixolin> actually, within netbook remix, the indicator applet dosn't do anything at all except showing the envelop in the panel ...
[09:16] <pixolin> If it at least would show the number of new e-mails or so ...
[09:17] <Dr_Willis> mulka:  clarify what you are doing exactly, and what you are expecting
[09:17] <red2kic> pixolin: When you tried to remove/purge the package, if it say you have to remove ubuntu-desktop or ubuntu-netbook-remix -- something of that sort, you can proceed as it's just a virtual package pointing fingers at multiple packages.
[09:17] <pixolin> also, I don't get the weather to show up with the time/date in the panel
[09:17] <red2kic> pixolin: Apply your location in time/date to get the weather information.
[09:18] <pixolin> I did.
[09:18] <airtonix> manuel_, apparently if you boot into the live cd and view the harddrive then remove all files and folders except the /home folder then choose to install... apparently the isntaller will not over write the existing /home folder.. read the bold text here : Operating System
[09:18] <airtonix> manuel_, http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/5390/
[09:18] <pixolin> I entered the location, added weather to be shown, but nothing happens ...
[09:18] <Guest54692> linux helpbot is - ONLINE -
[09:18] <pixolin> probably because the panel is "locked" within the netbook-desktop?
[09:18] <strwag> mulka: maybe it's becouse linux dont have multitasking
[09:19] <bazhang> Guest54692, in this channel?
[09:19] <Guest54692> if you have a question just let me know
[09:20]  * Dr_Willis wonders at the  quality of help from a 'helpbot' that cant use a non-guest nick.
[09:20] <Sammael_X> hehe
[09:20] <mulka> Guest54692 Dr_Willis strwag: I guess I should be more specific. it is PHP on the command line that I can't get to background using the & symbol
[09:21] <mulka> the execution stops... and only starts back up again when I use fg to foreground it again
[09:22] <pixolin> brb ...
[09:22] <cx> hi
[09:23] <EE_> i just came across something interesting and remembered that it wasnt the first time it happened and now really want to know what the deal is but can't find the answer. after i installed ubuntu on my desktop my bluetooth keyboard/mouse did not work until i moved the dongle to the usb slots at the back (instead of the ones on top of the tower)
[09:23] <manuel_> airtonix, thanks for the info
[09:23] <EE_> anyone know why?
[09:23] <codebrainz> EE_, are the top ones plugged into the motherboard?
[09:24] <red2kic> EE_: I had that same effect. I moved the dongle from back to front.
[09:24] <FireCrotch> EE_: Is it a Dell machine?
[09:24] <moRph2010> did lsusb list the device when plugged in the top usb slot?
[09:24] <EE_> codebrainz: where else could they be plugged into? i think last time i noticed was in windows when the drivers for a usb drive were installed again when i swithced between front and back. it's an acer aspire btw
[09:24] <manga_45> hi all!
[09:25] <EE_> moRph2010: i dont know
[09:25] <red2kic> FireCrotch: Mine is though.
[09:25] <EE_> Firecrotch: acer aspire
[09:25] <manga_45> im trying to convert waw file to mp3 with winff on ubuntu 10 updated. but it gives that error : Unknown encoder 'libmp3lame' . can someone helps me please ?
[09:26] <EE_> morph2010: it kepts asking me to grant access to the usb device and said connected but just didnt move mouse or type chars
[09:26] <FireCrotch> mulka: Try this: php yourscript.php < /dev/null
[09:26] <FireCrotch> mulka: erm... php yourscript.php < /dev/null &
[09:27] <RickRaven> guys... i need help :
