[18:08] <guntbert> never2far: I see now :)
[18:08] <kaneda^> Tartaros, no point, actually ;D
[18:08] <Pici> Can we please keep the discussion here focussed on support.  #ubuntu-offtopic exists for chat.  Thanks.
[18:08] <xpo0f> im really luv this room ..
[18:08] <linxeh> xpo0f: :D
[18:08] <ortsvorsteher> never2far: sure you get root. because sudo means do it as root. if you need to know which user it makes, try to see in crontabs or search the hist files from all users you have on system
[18:09] <kaneda^> :D
[18:09] <xpo0f> always have people chat .. not like other ..
[18:09] <linxeh> ortsvorsteher: or type sudo whoami
[18:09] <xpo0f> by the way... ubuntu rulez....
[18:09] <linxeh> xpo0f: we know
[18:09] <Doorman352> is there a sudo command for gui apps in ubuntu?
[18:09] <ortsvorsteher> linxeh: yes ;)
[18:09] <Pici> Doorman352: gksudo
[18:09] <kaneda^> hmm, so does anyone know why i cant create an XFS with block size greater than 4k?
[18:10] <KB1JWQ> Doorman352: gksudo
[18:10] <never2far> ortsvorsteher, nwm ...

[18:11] <kaneda^> Tartaros, ya know, i think they ALLOW you to dual boot
[18:11] <blackxored> how can I use wget to download the remaining part of a file that fails to download, I mean I want to start downloading from 48 mb or so and beyond???
[18:11] <kaneda^> Tartaros, so, no need to be so devious
[18:12] <Tartaros> :D
[18:12] <jzu_> Tartaros: hahah, I don't like in the states :P
[18:12] <Mahngiel> how can i get the model and chipset info of my broadcom wireless card from windows?

[18:12] <kaneda^> Mahngiel, right click My Computer -> Device Manager
[18:12] <dual> not_expert, install windows, download wubi, install ubuntu
[18:12] <dual> In that order
[18:13] <not_expert> kaneda^:windows
[18:13] <kaneda^> not_expert, what dual said
[18:13] <blackxored> anyone?
[18:13] <Tartaros> Mahngiel: why exactly are you asking about windows in an ubuntu channel?
[18:13] <Jeruvy> Mahngiel: you should ask in ##windows
[18:13] <not_expert> kaneda^: but wubi dosen't work
[18:13] <kaneda^> not_expert, raelly just install windows first, whatever you do
[18:13] <kaneda^> not_expert, then dont use wubi
[18:13] <xpo0f> kaneda^, hehe .. windows
[18:13] <not_expert> kaneda^: other ways?
[18:13] <Mahngiel> i'm tyring to find the card info so i can figure out how the hell to put the drivers up on ubuntu
[18:13] <dual> not_expert, Try putting in the ubuntu cd after installing windows
[18:13] <kaneda^> not_expert, listen to dual :)
[18:14] <Jeruvy> blackxored: wget doesn't support a resume.  You'll have to start over.
[18:14] <ortsvorsteher> !language | Mahngiel
[18:14] <kaneda^> that's absolutely correct
[18:14] <kaneda^> ortsvorsteher, hell?
[18:14] <not_expert> kaneda^: hahah i will dual boot ubuntu with windows
[18:14] <ortsvorsteher> sure kaneda^
[18:14] <blackxored> Jeruvy, can I use another program to start a download from 48 mb and beyond to cat both files after finishing ???
[18:14] <Mahngiel> my appologies. just trying to get my wireless card to work on ubuntu 9.1
[18:14]  * ortsvorsteher means hell is not familiy friendly ;)
[18:14] <kaneda^> ah
[18:14] <dual> not_expert, yes, try to put in the cd after booting up windows
[18:14] <kaneda^> ortsvorsteher, well, hell isn't supposed to be family friendly ;)
[18:15] <kaneda^> it's supposed to be HOT
[18:15] <not_expert> ahh ok
[18:15] <Mahngiel> :)
[18:15] <lorenzosu_> I try to update clamav through clamtk but it says N/A
[18:15] <not_expert> will try
[18:15] <Jeruvy> blackxored: I'm not aware of any such tool
[18:15] <kaneda^> lorenzosu_, so a new package isn't avail
[18:15] <blackxored> Jeruvy, thanks
[18:15] <xpo0f> :)
[18:15] <Mahngiel> so, any ideas?
[18:15] <blackxored> anyone knows about such a tool?
[18:15] <xpo0f> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[18:15] <kaneda^> Mahngiel, ubuntu is really good at discovering and finding your drivers
[18:16] <kaneda^> if an update/upgrade doesn't work you need to consider another option
[18:16] <Tartaros> blackxored: did you try -c ?
[18:16] <Pici> !who
[18:16] <lorenzosu_> kaneda^, But it says the definition is not up to date
[18:16] <kaneda^> lorenzosu_, try removing the package and reinstalling
[18:16] <Mahngiel> well, i'm brand new to non-microsoft OS's. i've only started today. all i know is my wireless card will not activate
[18:16] <blackxored> Tartaros, wait
[18:16] <lorenzosu_> kaneda^, Already tried.. no luck
[18:16] <kaneda^> lorenzosu_, interesting..
[18:16] <xpo0f> Mahngiel, r u sure ?
[18:17] <kaneda^> lorenzosu_, i'm not sure
[18:17] <ortsvorsteher> !r
[18:17] <ortsvorsteher> !u
[18:17] <Mahngiel> positive, i have a light-up button that does not work in ubuntu yet
[18:17] <robin0800> Mahngiel: you could try wicd
[18:17] <kaneda^> ortsvorsteher, who took the time to make the bot into a grammar nazi?
[18:17] <Mahngiel> wicd?
[18:17] <lorenzosu_> kaneda^, I'm on live CD for a friend trying to disinfect a virus :(
[18:17] <xpo0f> or wifi-radar and wireless-tools also

[18:19] <GuiltySpark> Hey guys I need some help, I have a alfa awus036h wifi card, with the latest patches and drivers, And I seem to get really LOW signal and speed...All networks get around 10% signal..Thats it. Any Ideas?
[18:19] <kaneda^> GuiltySpark, that sounds like hardware, not software
[18:20] <xpo0f> why latest X.org 7.0.3 buggy ?
[18:20] <GuiltySpark> Well I have done highpower 1 and even changed the txpower.
[18:20] <timtro> Do you happen to know the card's behavior under Windows?
[18:20] <GuiltySpark> Yeah the card is amazing in windows.
[18:20] <kaneda^> oh..
[18:20] <S-cape> Hey guys i still have jaunty installed. Struggling to get video to play smoothly
[18:20] <GuiltySpark> Witch I find odd...
[18:20] <kaneda^> GuiltySpark, it sounds like you should use a different driver then
[18:20] <themajesticmoose> Hi guys i need some help, i reccently got spotify working under wine, but the only problem is , is that when i run spotify it causes the sound not to work in other programs such as firefox and banshee, any help with this please :D
[18:20] <IHS_Volunteer> S-cape, is this flash video or...?
[18:20] <kaneda^> themajesticmoose, that's probably a WINE problem, see WINE
[18:21] <duffydack> GuiltySpark, Ive had nothing but problems with wifi and a friends laptop for 2 days.. I did notice (even when its 5ft away) the signal went from 75% to 90% when changing channel to something higher.. might be opposite way around for you tho..   also using wicd now as network manager caused lockups.
[18:21] <themajesticmoose> ok thanks
[18:21] <xpo0f> !info iwconfig
[18:21] <S-cape> No avi, dvd
[18:21] <GuiltySpark> Whats odd though is that before I reformated my same drivers Im using now worked fine.
[18:22] <IHS_Volunteer> S-cape, strange, then.
[18:22] <kaneda^> S-cape, try vlc and the non-free extension
[18:22] <kaneda^> ?
[18:22] <timtro> Do you notice a speed difference under linux? I'm trying to figure out you actually are getting 10% signal, or if there's a miscommunication somewhere.
[18:22] <DarK``> Can anyone help me pls. Im trying to add Gentoo to Grub2. I have /etc/grub.d/40_custom set up as shown in http://pastebin.com/m57af8deb however it won't boot.
[18:22] <GuiltySpark> Before, Ubuntu would pick up alot more networks then windows at alot better signal..But now..Windows does.
[18:22] <psone> Hello. What is the default value of PS1 on Ubuntu?
[18:22] <GuiltySpark> My Rate is 1M
[18:22] <timtro> What changed?
[18:22] <xpo0f> GuiltySpark, example ?
[18:22] <timtro> Did you upgrade?
[18:22] <GuiltySpark> No not yet
[18:23] <kaneda^> what's always amazing to me is the incredibly language support :)
[18:23] <timtro> So why was there a change? Did it just suddenly start getting crap signals?
[18:23] <kaneda^> incredible*
[18:23] <timtro> You didn't move the reciever did you?
[18:23]  * kaneda^ watches arabic fill up his screen
[18:23] <GuiltySpark> When I was installing the driver?
[18:23] <kaneda^> i dont understand a word of it, but it sure looks pretty
[18:23] <GuiltySpark> No i dident...
[18:23] <S-cape> I have been looking for vlc for ubuntu. Used it in windows. Where can i find it?
[18:23] <Pici> grub2
[18:23] <Tartaros> kaneda^: incredible language of what - ubuntu?
[18:24] <kaneda^> S-cape, aptitude search vlc
[18:24] <kaneda^> Tartaros, yes, all of the languages freely available
[18:24] <xpo0f> mpg123 also ok , !info mpg123
[18:24] <GuiltySpark> Must be unpluged when installing / patching drivers?
[18:24] <kaneda^> GuiltySpark, usually a good idea
[18:24] <Tartaros> and while we're at it, anyne have any idea if quickly does support translations, or ever will?
[18:24] <mMezquitale> sudo apt-get install vlc
[18:24] <timtro> Then I really can't help. It sounds like a driver issue which is way out of my leauge, especially since I don't do wireless much.
[18:24] <natrixnatrix89> Hi. Where can i add a command like /etc/init.d/<program> start So that it would be started always when I reboot?
[18:24] <kaneda^> mMezquitale, that's going ot install a lot of stuff, to warn you
[18:24] <xpo0f> !info vlc-nox
[18:25] <kaneda^> umm, he probably wants x xpo0f
[18:25] <timtro> Sorry about that. I'm hoping one of these other fine fellows can help.
[18:25] <Qcoder00> if you are getting vlc you might want to get ffmpeg at the same time
[18:25] <zsquareplusc> i have a problem with firefox, the fonts got smaller since the upgrade to karmic. the firefox font settings are unchanged and the same settings used to give larger text. it not the zoom function and it does not fix the problem
[18:25] <S-cape> What do you mean Kane?
[18:25] <GuiltySpark> Well I will upgrade to the new version 9.10 then see if it helps if not I will just uninstall drivers then Un-plug then try again I guess.
[18:25] <xpo0f> kaneda^, im always using on tty .. maybe some alternatives
[18:25] <GuiltySpark> Thanks guys.
[18:25] <kaneda^> xpo0f, i'm an xserver user myself
[18:26] <kaneda^> S-cape, aptitude search x will search for package x (or any package with x in the name)
[18:26] <xpo0f> kaneda^, maybe u need to share wit me :D
[18:26] <kaneda^> so if you search for vlc, it will find all relavent packages
[18:26] <mMezquitale> zsquareplusc, make sure the video drivers are installed, you have the correct resolution, and you can try changing the DPI settings to maybe 120
[18:26] <natrixnatrix89> Guys.. how can i make my computer run commans at startup, if the commands have to be done as superuser?
[18:26] <xpo0f> im having a problem yesterday related to X.org ... so that im gonna fresh install it back
[18:26] <psone> Ok, let me rephrase.
[18:26] <kaneda^> natrixnatrix89, add sudo blah blah blah to sessions
[18:27] <psone> What does the "default prompt" look like in the terminal "thingy" on Ubuntu?
[18:27] <Pici> DarK``: Take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#User-defined%20Entries  specifically, you should be making sure that the entires tht you add are between the cat << EOF and the EOF on the last line after your new menu entries.
[18:27] <natrixnatrix89> keneda: but then it will ask for password..
[18:27] <robin0800> natrixnatrix89: prefix them with gksu
[18:27] <natrixnatrix89> cant it be done automatically?
[18:27] <kaneda^> natrixnatrix89, fakeroot then
[18:27] <natrixnatrix89> thanks
[18:27] <themajesticmoose> hey guys i have a question, can you install old microsoft games built for say windows 98 into wine via cd ?
[18:27] <mMezquitale> psone, it's "user@yourhostname:"
[18:27] <whodunni> Hi, I'm using jaunty and I selected to install KDevelop from the repository (it's downloading the dependencies now), I forgot to check which version it was, is the kdevelop package in the repository 3.5 or 4?
[18:27] <Pici> themajesticmoose: Sure.
[18:27] <mMezquitale> psone, it's "user@yourhostname:~$"
[18:27] <phantomcircuit> everytime i add a new usb device the SD card gets re mounted
[18:27] <kaneda^> themajesticmoose, if it uses a .exe or...
[18:27] <phantomcircuit> wtf :|
[18:27] <kaneda^> what's the other extension windows uses
[18:27] <makkaizs> -hu
[18:28] <zsquareplusc> mMezquitale: nvidia driver runs OK, i also tried to change DPI in firefox (never saw a change) and the ubuntu settings (some fonts were increased). some pages have normal fonts but e.g. google or lauchpad have the smallest readable size possible and do not change with DPI
[18:28] <kyler> !info alsamixer
[18:28] <psone> mMezquitale: I thank you sir.
[18:28] <nb72> kaneda^ msi
[18:28] <nb72> i think
[18:28] <kyler> !info pulseaudio
[18:28] <kaneda^> nb72, yes, msi :)
[18:28] <kaneda^> themajesticmoose, this is no guarentee it will work, ofc
[18:29] <kaneda^> you have to refer to WINE for documentation
[18:29] <zsquareplusc> zsquareplusc: setting minimal font size in FF helps, but that's not a real solution. the same pages work ok on FF on other platforms or chromium etc.

[18:31] <LordDragon> hey all
[18:31] <kaneda^> hi
[18:31] <themajesticmoose> sorry one last thing concerning wine, i can still access my vista files via the host folder, is it safe to run the programs i have on vista using the .exe in the program files, and will it conflict with any of my vista settings
[18:31] <LordDragon> im having trouble installing flash player under 9.10 :(
[18:31] <nb72> Is there a project that has really good developer documentation?  I'm just looking for examples to get some ideas of how others do it.
[18:31] <LordDragon> it says there is a dependency issue
[18:31] <kaneda^> lord_hypnos, free or non-free?
[18:31] <kaneda^> woops, autocomplete failure
[18:31] <LordDragon> kaneda^, free. the iso fromthe website
[18:31] <kaneda^> LordDragon, you can check the dependencies it needs via apt
[18:32] <kaneda^> you can ask it to build those dependencies using apt as well
[18:32] <kaneda^> or rather, install them, not build them
[18:32] <mMezquitale> zsquareplusc, did you install or configured firefox to use a different font from the default one before you upgraded to karmic?
[18:32] <bryanww> jason kissed linsday
[18:32] <jarsen> ha
[18:32] <bryanww> hahahahaha
[18:32] <jarsen> you punk bryan
[18:32] <LordDragon> well i tried installing it using apt-get. but it seems there is a new version that replaced the old dependency but its not compatible with the flash installer
[18:32] <bryanww> i told you i would tell everyone

[18:33] <themajesticmoose> (sorry for the double post)  sorry one last thing concerning wine, i can still access my vista files via the host folder, is it safe to run the programs i have on vista using the .exe in the program files, and will it conflict with any of my vista settings
[18:33] <kaneda^> themajesticmoose, once again, this is a question that only WINE can answer
[18:33] <kaneda^> and if not WINE, then testing
[18:34] <themajesticmoose> right ok, thanks
[18:34] <GuiltySpark> Does anyone know if aircrack-ng works with Damn Small Linux? Hm...
[18:34] <kaneda^> GuiltySpark, this is the ubuntu help chan, lol
[18:34] <themajesticmoose> ill just give it a baz i didnt want to damage any of my vista files so i thought it would be worth asking first, thanks anyways
[18:34] <GuiltySpark> >_> ok ok nvm then.
[18:35] <kaneda^> in my opinion vista is damaged as is ;)
[18:35] <zsquareplusc> mMezquitale: nope. i just accepted the automatic removal of unneeded packages on upgrade. it removed mstcorefonts but i still have a font named Arial it seems
[18:35] <kaneda^> but he left before i could express this opinion
[18:35] <Bryce1> is there a way i can move the notification area to the absolute top left of the screen instead of a ways away in karmic 9.10?
[18:35] <gmarsh> Anyone know how easy it is to configure Broadcom wifi cards in dell laptops to work in Ubuntu 9.10?
[18:35] <kaneda^> Bryce1, i think using libnotifyd you should be able to select a corner..
[18:35] <Bryce1> is there a way i can move the notification area to the absolute top right* of the screen instead of a ways away in karmic 9.10?
[18:36] <Bryce1> ok thanks
[18:36] <kaneda^> i dont remember though
[18:36] <kaneda^> it's been a while since i set up a notification system
[18:36] <Bryce1> ill try to apt-get that
[18:36] <kaneda^> i used it in conjunction with compiz-fusion
[18:36] <Pici> Bryce1: No, there is no configuration for that currently.
[18:37] <Bryce1> pici: ok so it will just have to stay where it is. Thanks for the help :)
[18:37] <jimcooncat> Bryce1: can't just right-click on it to unlock? Then move it around?
[18:37] <kaneda^> Pici, i dont even see the options in notify any more
[18:37] <Pici> kaneda^: exactly.
[18:37] <kaneda^> Pici, :(
[18:37] <Bryce1> jimcooncat: when i scroll over it it dissapears
[18:38] <Doorman352> gmarsh: I havent figured out yet either, net has lotta info most of it conflicts.
[18:38] <Pici> jimcooncat: We're talking about the pretty notification-daemon popups, not the applet.
[18:38] <mMezquitale> zsquareplusc, try installing and using different fonts, if that only happens in firefox then most likely the issue is only with firefox, changing the DPI in ubuntu wont make a difference, looks like it's some configuration with firefox
[18:38] <Temujin> how do you set a static ip in ubuntu?
[18:38] <kaneda^> Pici, it used to be that you could specific a corner but not a location
[18:38] <kaneda^> Temujin, right click network -> edit connections
[18:39] <jimcooncat> Pici, Bryce1: my bad
[18:39] <mMezquitale> Temujin,  you can do it manually by editing "/etc/network/interfaces"
[18:39] <DarK``> Pici: tnx for your reply. I have it set up now as shown in http://pastebin.com/m79ab77ce however, I've never seen that "Adding Pentoo" line and it when trying to boot it in Grub it says I need to boot a kernel first. ?
[18:39] <Temujin> oh i see
[18:39] <kaneda^> mMezquitale, noooooo
[18:39] <petter__> i have truble with my firefox , i cant play movies in like youtube and other simular sites , whats wrong ?
[18:39] <Bryce1> jimcooncat: thanks for the suggestion though
[18:39] <duffydack> i find every site looks fine with FF set to use liberation sans
[18:39] <Temujin> mMezquitale, thanks but i'll gui it before i terminal it :P
[18:39] <exodus_ms> petter__, did you install flash
[18:39] <ZykoticK9> Temujin, easier way to do it is use network manager (GUI)
[18:40] <scarface> How can I find out the driver that my wireless network card is using?  I thought there was a quick CLI command but I can't remember it.
[18:40] <kaneda^> ZykoticK9, this is what i've already suggested ;p
[18:40] <mMezquitale> kaneda^, i dont use the GUI
[18:40] <petter__> yess , i have flash player , its just a black box where it should be a movie .
[18:40] <kaneda^> mMezquitale, most people do

[18:43] <LordDragon> kaneda^, you said there was a way to use apt-get to get the dependency needed for flash player? how? the dependency needed is libnspr4-dev

[18:44] <MrHappy> hi. can anyone help with a sound issue on jaunty: firefox blocks media players and vice-versa
[18:44] <kaneda^> LordDragon, i would suggest asking apt to install the entier package
[18:45] <kaneda^> then it will find your dependencies and install them for you
[18:45] <unique> kaneda^: set what up? my courier and sendmail and webmail are all on the same machine
[18:45] <kaneda^> unique, i assumed you would have the courier on another machine
[18:45] <LordDragon> kaneda^, ok. how do i do that? its a .deb package
[18:45] <protocol1> using wicd instead of default network manager....
[18:45] <Temujin> what's metric?
[18:45] <kaneda^> LordDragon, ok, well you CAN install it from db using dpkg
[18:45] <suleman> can anybody suggest me a software where i can view my invisible frens

[18:46] <gnuyen> but it won't let me add an account
[18:46] <kaneda^> !adobe-flashplugin
[18:46] <kaneda^> hmm
[18:46] <kaneda^> LordDragon, why don't you try sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-nonfree
[18:46] <MrHappy> anyone? audacious won't play and spotify says "probs with sound card"...
[18:47] <kaneda^> MrHappy, is this a WINE issue?

[18:47] <MrHappy> no, happens with native media players
[18:47] <shift_wreck> how do i restart my usb wireless mouse?
[18:47] <kaneda^> MrHappy, i dunno then
[18:47] <kaneda^> LordDragon, adobe-flashplugin is version 10
[18:47] <kaneda^> AFAIK
[18:47] <EasyTUX> Same "evolution-data-server" on Debian ?
[18:47] <MrHappy> k
[18:48] <LordDragon> kaneda^, i just did a fresh install of 9.10. do i need to update sources or anything first? its not even finding xchat or xchat2 when i do an apt-get
[18:48] <EasyTUX> gconftool-2 ?
[18:48] <kaneda^> LordDragon, i would definitely update, and maybe check the sources.plist
[18:49] <shift_wreck> any idea how to restart hotplug services?
[18:49] <petter__> can someone help me ? I have problems playing movies in firefox, like youtube. Sometimes it plays like usual but moste of the time its just a black box, what should i do ? plz help ..

[18:49] <kaneda^> unique, well if you dont see it locally why would it see it remotely?
[18:49] <ZykoticK9> anyone have a fix for Songbird maximizing when a new artist is selected in Karmic?  this didn't happen in 9.04, don't see any options in Songbird that would cause this - but i could easily be missing something.
[18:49] <astore> ce qualquo
[18:49] <petter__> witch one ? i have libnspr4-dev.
[18:49] <EasyTUX> Hummm, 2-5% use of CPU is much better, many thanks, was a great pleasure to talk with you men...
[18:50] <kaneda^> petter__, you can try adobe-flashplugin or flash-nonfree
[18:50] <unique> kaneda^: so you have any idea why isnt courier-imap picking them up?
[18:50] <kaneda^> unique, it would suggest to me that you set the routing wrong for mail
[18:50] <petter__> okej , i'll try ! thx
[18:50] <kaneda^> unique, try dpkg-reconfigure
[18:50] <astore> help
[18:51] <kaneda^> astore, can you be more specific..
[18:51] <suleman> can anybody suggest me a software where i can view my invisible frens
[18:51] <kaneda^> suleman, your question makes no more sense now than it did 10 minutes ago
[18:51] <suleman> kaneda^, so wat dude
[18:51] <Dougwiser> suleman, I think you need a Sun box for that
[18:51] <Dr_Willis> suleman:  what is an invisible fren?
[18:51] <kaneda^> suleman, so how is anyone supposed to help you when your question is nonsensical?
[18:52] <ZykoticK9> suleman, yes please stop it -- but i do think there is an iphone app for seeing "invisible friends" not sure about "frens" though.
[18:52] <suleman> i mean a messanger
[18:52] <kaneda^> suleman, pidgin
[18:52] <Bryce1> is there a way to edit grub so that it auto selects my ubuntu partition and only asks what i want when i press a key?

[18:52] <ziesemer> Can someone help me with a casper issue?  Had it working great on a USB drive.  However, I wanted to clean things up and move everything into a /ubuntu-live subdirectory.  My boot options are /ubuntu-live/casper/vmlinux boot=casper live-media-path=/ubuntu-live/casper .  This works great, but now fails with "persistent".  I get a "mounting /dev/sda1 on /cow failed: Device or resource busy".
[18:52] <suleman> Dr_Willis, suggest me one
[18:53] <ZykoticK9> Caesi, FYI it hasn't been working for me the last two day -- it's a real hit/miss application i'm affraid.
[18:53] <Dr_Willis> suleman:  what network are your 'friends' using?  Theres an IM client allready built into ubuntu 9.10 or use pidgin as allready suggested
[18:53] <Caesi> ZykoticK9: thanks

[18:56] <bruno123> i have separate / and /home partitions.  How do you recommend I upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10?  Use upgrade dist. button in upgrade manager or fresh install in / of 9.10???  Also if I go fresh install, will my Virtualbox and vdi images all work no probs?
[18:56] <engemec>   I would like to invite all of this channel to the CESOL (Congresso Estadual de Software Livre) at Ceará (Brazil). The lecture aimed at the community in the state is on 12/11/09 with title: (Users Meeting Ubuntu) say that Ubuntu is the best! Really? - The event page is www.cesol.org
[18:56] <surgy>  will someone help me diagnose my problem please? I just upgraded from ubuntu 9.04 to ubuntu 9.10 and before hand Dungeons and Dragons Online worked perfectly, and now it works great but no sound. The rest of my system has sound so i was thinking it was a wine setting. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[18:57] <usser> bruno123, as long as you save those VM images they should work just fine. i'd do a clean install.
[18:57] <LordDragon> kaneda^, how can i find what version of flash is installed by a specific apt-get package?
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> surgy:  check the wine app database? ive had some games only work properly with secific versions of wine.

[18:57] <surgy> Dr_Willis, but it works great just audio...
[18:57] <Die_Hard_Linux> #
[18:57] <bruno123> surgy what version of wine are u running and have you looked at wine config audio tab???
[18:57] <rsk> LordDragon there's no package to define the installed version
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> surgy:  yes..  there can be version issues...
[18:58] <rsk> LordDragon instead look at the flashpackage you installed to loook at the version
[18:58] <LordDragon> rsk, im just trying to figure out how to get flash player installed on 9.10
[18:58] <LordDragon> the .deb package wont install due to dependency issues
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> i had issues with  LOTRO with some wine versions had to drop back a version, till it got fixed
[18:58] <EasyTUX> how can I list installed packages containing a text ie "evolution"... (In bash mode please).
[18:58] <usser> LordDragon, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[18:58] <bruno123> usser, so basically put the 9.10 cd in.....and let it overwrite the / partition making sure not to do anything with the /home partition (do I have to tell it which partition is /home or will it detect that)??? Thanks.
[18:59] <surgy> the guys in #winehq seam to think it is the new pulse audio system.... how do i revert my sound system to how it was in 9.04 ?
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> EasyTUX:  check the commands the !clone factoid give. then pipe it through grep
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> !clone | EasyTUX
[18:59] <usser> bruno123, pretty much. and yes you will have to do manual partition and mount your home partition to /home without reformatting that partition
[18:59] <usser> surgy, 9.04 also had pulse.
[18:59] <petter__>  i allready hade flashplugin-nonfree installed , what should i to then ?
[18:59] <Dr_Willis> EasyTUX:  you could grep that file 'my-packages' for lines  with grep :)
[19:00] <bruno123> surgy for my part, I tend to stay away from updating...and prefer fresh installs.  To make this easier, I have two partitions....one for root / and one for /home.
[19:00] <wiehan> Hi, just installed 9.10 32bit on my dad's PC and there is a big problem, I get a black screen on the start up (installation was successful)... PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS. BIG MESS
[19:00] <Die_Hard_Linux> does anyone use or have any experience with the following tv card: Kworld SAA7133?
[19:00] <surgy> bruno123, then what changed about the audio system?
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> wiehan:  do you see a GDM login? do you see the GRUB menu? do you see the logo/splash/throbber?
[19:01] <EasyTUX> "clone factoid" clone command not found I should install it ?
[19:01] <surgy> i cant change to alsa?
[19:01] <bruno123> usser it will of course indicate what partitions will and wont be formatted correct???  And, if I have wine installed already...it should be detected and no need to reinstall any apps that were installed subsequent to the initial 9.04 install right?
[19:01] <surgy> or oss ?
[19:01] <wiehan> Dr_Willis: I see the grub menu (but not really, for 1 second) then the nice new glowing ubuntu sign then just complete blackness
[19:01] <gremuni> hi !
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> EasyTUX:  READ what the bot said. it showed the command. :)
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> !clone | EasyTUX
[19:01] <bruno123> surgy have you checked all volume controls etc. carefully??
[19:02] <qq99> where can I add to the PATH variable for only the current user?

[19:02] <jugglerbry> hi all. having problems with software centre.  trying to install various software, but after i've entered my password am getting the error "Requires installation of untrusted packages.  The action would require the installation of packages not authenticated sources" then fails to install anyone help ?
[19:02] <VCoolio> harleypig: try install galternatives, is a gui and easier to handle
[19:03] <surgy> bruno123, not many sliders on 9.10
[19:03] <wiehan> Dr_Willis: He uses an old nvidia 6600 AGP graphics card which worked perfect in 9.04
[19:03] <usser> bruno123, yes theres a simple checkmark that says "format", just set the mountpoint /home. regarding wine you will have to install wine, but as long as you installed all your windows applications to a standard location ie C:\. which is located in your home partition's .wine folder they should be safe
[19:03] <harleypig> VCoolio: thx, will check it out
[19:03] <bruno123> surgy how about uninstalling and then reinstalling the program that is having difficulties?  Are you still running the one that was originally installed in 9.04???
[19:03] <m8> Hi, i can install vnc4server (in ubuntu server) witouth xorg?
[19:03] <gremuni> is there any acpi expert ? :)
[19:03] <Bryce1> is there a way i can reset my grub if i have made changes i do not wish to keep?
[19:03] <usser> m8, what is the point of such a setup?
[19:04] <bruno123> usser thanks users...my fears have been relieved....but I will still backup most important documents since last backup
[19:04] <m8> usser?
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> m8:  you mean sudo apt-get install vnc4server    should install all needed extra packages
[19:04] <usser> bruno123, yea backup never hurts
[19:04] <egyn> Hi, i've just installed 9.10. Discovered it uses Empathy (i used pidgin before) and now nickserv wants me to identify but i cannot seem to send a "/msg" using empathy, how to solve this?
[19:04] <surgy> bruno123,  the program cannot be installed through linux. you have to install it in windows and copy paste the folder..... im almost certain this is a new ubuntu audio vs old wine audio problem
[19:04] <astore> Sorry for the delay anyone able to help me I have not found the solution
[19:04] <soul_discharge> i've got a noob question, when installing 9-10 from a usb stick  on windows why does it start to download the iso all over again?
[19:04] <mathias_maranhao> Is there any Israeli here? PM me PLS
[19:04] <qq99> Dr_Willis, thanks, is the synatx PATH=/var/lib/...:$PATH ?
[19:04] <m8> Dr_Willis: yes... but i want to install in a headless config
[19:04] <surgy> i just want my audio how it use to be.....
[19:04] <gremuni> or not :/
[19:04] <Bryce1> soul_discharge: are you useing unetbootin?
[19:04] <Dr_Willis> qq99:  sort of.. You want an export in there.

[19:05] <clippy> 9.10: external drive is now a read-only fs. how to fix plz?
[19:05] <m8> Dr_Willis: xorg is system resource expensive, i want to run vnc4server witouth xorg :| for a virtual Xfce desktop
[19:05] <Bryce1> is there a way to reset grub to default settings?
[19:05] <usser> m8, vnc4server without xorg makes no sense.
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> m8:  so .. ssh in and install the package.. it will pull in all needed extra packages..   You may want to use tightvnc insteead of vnc4server.. and you will want to install some window manager for vnc to use.
[19:05] <soul_discharge> unetbootin? not sure what that is. i made the stick from a virtual isntall of ubuntu. i want it to install it on my partition whilst inside windows
[19:05] <gremuni> hey guys !!!
[19:05] <m8> Dr_Willis: yes....
[19:05] <than0> What' the best way duplicate my partition from Ex4 to BTRFS ?
[19:05] <gremuni> is anybody could give some help with this acpi problem ?
[19:05] <gremuni> :s
[19:05] <usser> than0, tar
[19:05] <gremuni> please
[19:06] <mathias_maranhao> shosh
[19:06] <bruno123> surgy, what I am suggesting is that when you first ran the program maybe the setup was fine for 9.04 etc.   Perhaps starting completely fresh with the installation of the dungeons program with the new ubuntu (and I dont think you said what version of wine) might do something.  Trial and error.  It is what I would try first.
[19:06] <VCoolio> qq99: this is how I do it: first line "
[19:06] <Bryce1> is there a way to reset grub to the default settings?
[19:06] <openweek6> hey guys. Are there still some issues with the client version problem in ubuntu one?
[19:06] <wiehan> Dr_Willis: Are you still with me on this one>
[19:06] <clippy> m8: have looked at xn?
[19:06] <VCoolio> qq99: PATH=${PATH}:~/Apps   then "export $PATH"

[19:06] <bruno123> surgy do you have your data backed up?
[19:07] <than0> usser, thanks
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> wiehan:  it pays to be concise however.. You get GRUB -> xsplash -> NO GDM LOGIN however?
[19:07] <gremuni> marx: I also have problems with ACPI support !
[19:07] <gremuni> grrr

[19:08] <jethro877> yo
[19:08] <jugglerbry> trying to install various software, but after i've entered my password am getting the error "Requires installation of untrusted packages.  The action would require the installation of packages not authenticated sources" then fails to install
[19:08] <wiehan> Dr_Willis: That is correct...
[19:08] <gremuni> wiehan: got the same problem
[19:08] <JuJuBee> I am trying to figure out why nfs-kernel-server will not start and in looking in var/log/messages I noticed a ton of messages like http://paste.ubuntu.com/311749/  can someone help me?
[19:08] <gremuni> wiehan: it's an ACPI problem
[19:08] <wiehan> Dr_Willis: GRUB, Xspalsh, no GDM
[19:08] <than0> usser, I created new Ubuntu installation using BTRFS and EX2 Boot partition.. and managed to boot
[19:08] <gremuni> wiehan: try booting with acpi=off
[19:08] <fitus> hello everyone
[19:08] <usser> than0, btrfs is nowhere near production ready, i'm strongly suggesting against it
[19:08] <oliver3> guys, I have programs installed that are marked as being automatically installed, how would I change that?
[19:08] <astore> then nobody can help me or tell qualquno
[19:08] <bruno123> jugglerbry what version of ubuntu?  Have you updated sources?
[19:08] <usser> than0, ok
[19:08] <qq99> VCoolio, thanks
[19:08] <marx> gremuni, do you know if there is a solution?
[19:08] <wiehan> gremuni: How do I switch that off (it is a clean install)
[19:08] <bruno123> Have you added keys jugglerbry
[19:08] <than0> usser, I want to duplicate my entire Ex4 / to BTRFS /
[19:08] <gremuni> marx: I'm looking for ..
[19:08] <oliver3> oh aptitude can do it
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> wiehan:  you would be better off to clarify the question instead of yelling 'HELP ME'     - You could try installing the proper nvidia drivers from the consoles on alt-ctrl-f1, but im not suew what  version is needed for that car4d
[19:08] <damo_> hiya people how do i apply my theme package with icons and task bar in ubuntu ?
[19:08] <jugglerbry> bruno:running karmic.  how do i update sources ?
[19:09] <gremuni> wiehan: edit your grub conf file
[19:09] <marx> ok gremuni :) I hope you find a solution soon
[19:09] <gremuni> and add acpi=off
[19:09] <than0> Would this be enough: "tar cvpjf backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tar.bz2 --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys /"
[19:09] <gremuni> marx: do u have the same issue ?
[19:09] <bruno123> jugglerbry go to system--admin---software sources
[19:09] <gremuni> a friend of mine, got the same laptop
[19:09] <gremuni> running centos
[19:09] <bruno123> what is selected jugglerbry main server, us server?
[19:09] <than0> usser, or should I just do "cp -a / /media/BTRFS"
[19:09] <VCoolio> damo_: extract in ~/.themes or drop the .tar.gz in appearance window, then select it
[19:09] <gremuni> and does not have the problem
[19:09] <VCoolio> damo_: icons in ~/.icons
[19:09] <JuJuBee> my /var/log/messages file has over 71K lines in it....
[19:09] <gremuni> so it's an ubuntu problem
[19:09] <jugglerbry> bruno:then what ? do i need to do anything ? what am i looking for ?
[19:09] <damo_> kk ty
[19:09] <wiehan> gremuni: Thank you mate, how do I get to the grub config file, I mean where is it saved?
[19:09] <jzaboo> Hi, got a short question about mrtg. Since the official mrtg irc chan ist empty / no longer active I hope anyone can help me out?
[19:10] <marx> yes. when the system goes to supend mode it doesnt wake up. it shows a black screen with a blinking cursor. I have to do a hard reset
[19:10] <gremuni> wiehan: /etc/grub.d
[19:10] <oliver3> alright maybe not. For some reason aptitude unmarkauto REMOVED the damn packages
[19:10] <jugglerbry> brno123:Server for UK
[19:10] <bruno123> first, I myself use main server jugglerbry as I have had issues with country specific ones in the past
[19:10] <rbrunhuber> I have quite a funny behaviour of scp if I "push" a file scp says it transferred it but i never reaches the target but when i pull it is transfered
[19:10] <gremuni> marx: ok. my laptop crashes ever if I don't suspend it
[19:11] <wiehan> gremuni: Thank you, then just add this: acpi=off somewere? Will I clearly see where to place it, or should you rather elaborate?
[19:11] <bruno123> jugglerbry , also what software are you trying to install (give one that it is choking on)
[19:11] <gremuni> it crashes randomly (but shortly) after the login screen, as wiehan
[19:11] <jzaboo> I tried to setup mrtg but the necessary MIBs seem not to be loaded. why?
[19:11] <usser> than0, boot from livecd mount your ext4 partition somewhere to /mnt, mount btrfs partition, mount an external driver where you will keep a backup of your ext4 and btrfs partitions, cd /mnt/externaldrive && tar cvf ext4.tar /mnt/ext4partition
[19:11] <jugglerbry> bruno123:trying to install gcolor2
[19:11] <astore> help
[19:11] <Gizmo_the_Great> hi. Just got a new monitor. Trying to manually input the vertical and horizontal refresh rates etc. Cant remember how to do it though? Have tried manually editing /etc/X11/xorg but it screwed up the display and I had to restore from backup. You used to be able to run the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it just asks me about keboard?
[19:11] <usser> than0, then tar cvf btrfs.tar /mnt/btrfs_part
[19:12] <usser> than0, that will effectively backup both of your partitions
[19:12] <usser> than0, once you have both backups in place
[19:12] <jugglerbry> bruno123:also set to main server, and reloaded, but not getting error could not download all repository indexes
[19:12] <usser> than0, rm -rf /mnt/btrfs_partition/*
[19:12] <wiehan> gremuni: Is this a permanent fix?
[19:12] <jzaboo> no one who knows how to setup mrtg?
[19:12] <than0> ok
[19:12] <gremuni> wiehan: sorry .. that's not the correct process
[19:12] <usser> than0, and cd /mnt/btrfs_partition && tar xvf /mnt/externaldrive/ext4.tar
[19:13] <gremuni> wiehan: u've got to edit grub.cfg, in /boot/grub/
[19:13] <aubre> any progress on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glibc/+bug/417757
[19:13] <jugglerbry> bruno123: The method driver /usr/lib/apt/methods/ppa could not be found
[19:13] <bruno123> jugglerbry , looks like this is a known bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/464101
[19:13] <gremuni> wiehan: my mystake :)
[19:13] <catamarquence> how do i stop beeps!!!
[19:13] <terrafox> what up all. need to help with DVD playback Ubuntu Jaunty. I loaded the libdvdcss2 libdvdread4 and libdvdnav4 and the restricted package. the dvd loads when opened with vlc but i lags.   am i missing something
[19:13] <catamarquence> !beep
[19:13] <Die_Hard_Linux> does anyone know of a good channel that could help me with my TV card?
[19:13] <bruno123> jugglerbry you are using software centre correct?
[19:13] <osmosis> i installed   grub-chooose-defaut   on karmic, and it jacked up all my grub2 stuff.
[19:14] <wiehan> gremuni: ok: edit grub.cfg, in /boot/grub/ and then acpi=off... that all? Should I do dpkg-reconfigure xserver.org or not?
[19:14] <than0> usser, I cannot use "tar cvf /" while logged into ext4 system?
[19:14] <usser> than0, that is assuming both btrfs and ext4 partition have the same basic config(ie were installed and configured on the same machine) otherwise some modifications will be needed, ie fstab may be wrong, /boot/grub may point to the wrong place. in other words be prepared for screw ups.
[19:14] <usser> than0, thats a no no
[19:14] <bruno123> Could you try synaptic manager to install same package?  jugglerbry
[19:14] <osmosis> i installed   grub-chooose-defaut   on karmic, and it jacked up all my grub2 stuff by installing the old grub on top.
[19:14] <gremuni> wiehan: reconfigure grube, yep
[19:14] <usser> than0, livecd
[19:14] <osmosis> How do I figure out what package is suppose to own  update-grub ?
[19:14] <Doorman352> catamarquence: you mean on shutdown/reboot?
[19:14] <than0> usser, My /boot is on seperate partition, with necessary modules.. and I backuped the fstab from BTRFS partition
[19:15] <bruno123> usser any grub issues to worry about if I do clean install of 9.10 on hd that has 9.04 root partition, win xp partition, and /home???
[19:15] <usser> than0, still things might and will go wrong, so be prepared
[19:15] <gregL> how can i reinstall grub at the rescue prompt?
[19:15] <wiehan> gremuni: Sorry, I'm not an expert, reconfigure grub as well, how?
[19:15] <Temujin> where is the startup applications file?
[19:15] <usser> bruno123, there might be problems since 9.10 uses grub2
[19:15] <jugglerbry> bruno123:yep.  think i can dl from synaptic.  frustrating bug though.  lets hope it gets fixed soon.  thanks for the help
[19:15] <bruno123>  jugglerbry you are saying that switching to main server solved part of problem....but now a new error message correct?
[19:15] <Temujin> okay wate wate
[19:15] <usser> bruno123, but unless you have some sort of non-standard grub config it should be fine
[19:16] <bruno123> usser pretty standard fare I think, just dont want to lose access to windoze for gamin
[19:16] <bruno123> tgaming
[19:16] <than0> usser, ok. I will try your suggestion.. but I won't be touching anything on ex4 yet..
[19:16] <than0> usser, thank you
[19:16] <usser> than0, no problem, make sure you have a big enough external drive for backups
[19:16] <PseudoNymX> I know it's not a ubuntu question, but it's simple and yet nobody seems to be able to answer it.
[19:17] <bruno123> PseudoNymX  ASK IT!
[19:17] <usser> than0, and if i were you i'd also dd the whole shebang as well, just to make sure i can always go back to the way things were originally
[19:17] <sllide> what font does the terminal use?
[19:17] <PseudoNymX> Conky is looking in /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0/device for my temperature sensor, when it is one directory higher
[19:17] <usser> than0, ie dd the ENTIRE drive to the image somewhere
[19:17] <PseudoNymX> In /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon0
[19:17] <PseudoNymX> So how do I tell conky to wisen up and look there for it?
[19:17] <than0> usser, yeah, but my / is like 40gig..
[19:18] <than0> I plan to switch to btrfs mainly because I am running out of space.
[19:18] <bruno123> Sorry, dont know much about conky.  Hopefully others can help PseudoNymX
[19:18] <jugglerbry> bruno123:nah.  just had another look at gcolour, and gnome photo printer, but no install button this time (via software centre)
[19:18] <PseudoNymX> Does anybody have experience with conky?
[19:18] <than0> so far, BTRFS > EXT4 in terms of speed.
[19:18] <Die_Hard_Linux> anyone have any tv card experience
[19:18] <Die_Hard_Linux> ???
[19:18] <bruno123> jugglerbry, so the programs are listed but you cannot select them to install?
[19:18] <jugglerbry> yeo
[19:18] <jugglerbry> yep
[19:19] <Hideki> hi guys
[19:19] <damo_> hi people im trying to change my ubuntu start menu where do i find the themes for them

[19:19] <Die_Hard_Linux> how about mythtv?
[19:19] <bruno123> jugglerbry not sure, that's kind of odd to list it but not allow a way to add it
[19:19] <Temujin> Exec=/opt/lampp/lampp start is correct isn't it?
[19:19] <bruno123> Im still on 9.04 on my main pc......9.10 on laptop....fresh install and works fine....but haven't much experience with software centre yet.
[19:20] <damo_> anyone know how i change my start menu apperence on ubuntu

[19:20] <rodensky> I have / on sda6 and within it I have /home, how do I change /home mount point to sda8 where I still have my old /home?
[19:20] <jugglerbry> bruno123:thats what i thought.  just tried to look for gcolor in synaptic - not there, (but synaptic closed all on it's own) restarted it and searched again, nothing, also looked for something else, but wasnt there either
[19:20] <neur0tic> can someone please help me setting up my network?

[19:21] <lowlycoder> what's a tablet notebook (I want to be able to use a pen to rite on the screen) taht works well with ubuntu?
[19:21] <Gizmo_the_Great> just got disconnected so not sure if reply received......Just got a new monitor. Trying to manually input the vertical and horizontal refresh rates etc. Cant remember how to do it though? Have tried manually editing /etc/X11/xorg but it screwed up the display and I had to restore from backup. You used to be able to run the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but it just asks me about keboard?
[19:21] <than0> bluetooth worked flawless in Jaunty, but not in Karmic, and it seems it's a well known bug
[19:21] <than0> Ah, regresssions. :(
[19:21] <damo_> im trying to change my theme and start menu logo
[19:21] <usser> than0, yes, on my imac bluetooth is flaky
[19:21] <damo_> any ideas ?
[19:21] <bruno123> jugglerbry check to see that it is showing all available applications (not sure if that is in 9.10 software centre)
[19:21] <usser> than0, the BT applet just disappears sometimes
[19:21] <VCoolio> damo_: it is defined by your gtk theme; you may want to look into gnomenu on gnome-look.org: http://tiny.cc/9KvuF
[19:22] <jugglerbry> bruno123: Yes, it's in the view menu.   all maintained, or conical maintained.  all is selected

[19:22] <VCoolio> damo_: the start menu logo is defined by your icon theme; search for start_here.png or -.svg in your icontheme folder
[19:22] <ward-> lowlycoder, get a wiimote and some IR LEDs and junk you got around the house :p
[19:22] <than0> The problem is worse in AMD64, and sometimes useable in Xi386

[19:24] <VCoolio> damo_: then system > preferences > appearance and knock yourself out
[19:24] <ward-> than0, im talking about using the IR cam inside the wiimote to get a multitouch screen
[19:24] <oliver3> jett, just ask your question, if anyone knows how to help you they will.
[19:24] <usser> deker, make sure you're booting into the new kernel and not the one from jaunty
[19:24] <ibuclaw> than0, wiimote software buggy? :s
[19:24] <rodensky> I have / on sda6 and within it I have /home, how do I change /home mount point to sda8 where I still have my old /home?

[19:24] <PseudoNymX> Conky is being stupid and looking in the wrong place for my hwmon stuff. How do I tell it to wisen up and give it the right place to look?
[19:24] <ward-> than0, whayt you are trying is COMPLETELY UNRELATED

[19:26] <puppe> deker: ah, oki. Then try what usser suggests...
[19:26] <xpo0f> im back ... hehe
[19:26] <than0> usser, In Jaunty, pulse audio and alsa would just disable sound.. until reset when I am using buggy alsa game, (Savage 2)..
[19:26] <ibuclaw> than0, actually, ignore that statement, I wrote my own wiimote library in Perl (based off a wrapper a friend wrote in C++), and in turn, my own interface with that.
[19:27] <jonpagecr> hi
[19:27] <cankoy> Rodensky: you need to add a line for it
[19:27] <than0> usser, but now, I get hard lock with Alsa + pulse +savage 2.
[19:27] <mattwj2002> !thunderbird
[19:27] <ruben23> hi got problem installing wubi on my windows client i got permission error upon nstallation..
[19:27] <usser> deker, hm. any reason why you dont want to recompile your vmware modules for the new kernel?
[19:27] <jonpagecr> algo mejor quentusrex vmware?
[19:27] <than0> ibuclaw, got website for it?
[19:27] <deker> usser, i've heard there are some issues when trying to recompile
[19:27] <usser> than0, pulse is garbage :)
[19:27] <deker> apparently the new kernel doesn't play nice with vmware server
[19:27] <cankoy> Rodensky: 'sudo blkid' shows UUID for the partitions
[19:27] <terrafox> really need some help with laggy dvd playback
[19:28] <kjele> How to restore a snapshot from backintime in a terminal?
[19:28] <than0> ibuclaw, I tried everything that's available about wiimote in linux.. there might be some libraries including java stuff, but there's no actual programs
[19:28] <Rodensky> cankoy: what line do I add?
[19:28] <than0> usser,it is..
[19:28] <ibuclaw> than0, this is the library we used http://www.wiiuse.net/
[19:28] <usser> deker, you dont have to recompile, just try booting into it

[19:29] <than0> ibuclaw, their website is down. :(
[19:29] <usser> mattwj2002, no install just download the archive from mozilla unpack and run ./thunderbird
[19:30] <than0> ibuclaw, is that library useable without IR bars?
[19:30] <jugglerbry> bruno123:how odd.  i've just installed it successfully using apt-get install via terminal, but just wont work in software centre
[19:30] <VCoolio> damo_: that's a gnomenu theme; you have to install gnomenu first
[19:30] <rpolak> I'm trying to figure out how to control the ntp service in 9.10
[19:30] <bruno123> hey all, looks like empathy does do irc chat (or am I wrong??)  What is best irc chat client for ubuntu ?  Pidgin?  (which is missing from 9.10 but I hesitate to get too many duplicate programs)
[19:30] <damo_> kk thanks
[19:30] <than0> ibuclaw, i used the accelerator, and it's not really useable as mouse
[19:30] <rpolak> I can't get upstart to not load the process
[19:30] <damo_> link coolio ?
[19:30] <ibuclaw> than0, it's not a very high-end library though, requires some knowledge of programming to make it *do* what you want.
[19:30] <usser> bruno123, xchat is pretty good
[19:30] <puppe> bruno123: would go with xchat
[19:30] <ibuclaw> than0, it doesn't need IR
[19:30] <bruno123> jugglerbry, maybe a reboot will fix something.  Anyway, you got it working which is good.
[19:30] <VCoolio> damo_: http://tiny.cc/9KvuF install; then add it to your panel and right click to modify
[19:31] <jugglerbry> bruno123:im using xchat gnome
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> damo_:  i discovered a neat little prograam to help ya change themes the other day called Epidermis ->  http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org/    Theres also gnome-look-ng thats nifty
[19:31] <terrafox> can any one help. i cant see my dvd's right
[19:31] <puppe> ...but actually using empathy now :)
[19:31] <ibuclaw> than0, although, have you tried the bluetooth applet in gnome ?
[19:31] <jugglerbry> bruno123:i'll give a reboot a try, but yes, got it eventually.  thanks for the help though
[19:31] <cankoy> Rodensky: first check with 'sudo blkid' for /dev/sda8's fstype and UUID value
[19:31] <bruno123> usser puppe xchat or xchat gnome???  (Also some say Ilrss or something liek that is good but cant find it).
[19:31] <bruno123> no probs. jugglerbry you are welcome
[19:31] <puppe> bruno123: xchat gnome is just a different front end
[19:31] <terrafox> can anyone help me (dvd playback lags)
[19:32] <Dr_Willis> I perfer weechat over irssi now a days. :)
[19:32] <puppe> bruno123: go and try xchat first
[19:32] <bruno123> puppe works better? looks better?
[19:32] <farabi> hello,
[19:32] <bruno123> okay
[19:32] <puppe> both ;)
[19:32] <bruno123> thanks puppe
[19:32] <ibuclaw> than0, I've used my K800i as a remote before using the gnome bluebooth applet... I could see it working for wiimotes too, but only one way to find out.
[19:32] <jett> jugglebry mines different, it says connection established and i have service bars but it wont let me access internet
[19:32] <kommune23> hi, can anyone here help ne to get my wacom bamboo work?
[19:32] <Rodensky> ok right now i added the UUID=xxxx /home ext4
[19:33] <rpolak> Is ne1 here familiar with how upstart brings up ntp on 9.10
[19:33] <terrafox> is there someone here that can help me with dvd issue
[19:33] <than0> ibuclaw, the best bluetooth remote I was SE T610 phone..
[19:33] <Rodensky> do i add "defaults relatime 1 2"? what do i need to add exactly?
[19:33] <usser> bruno123, plain xchat is better, i dont like xchat-gnome interface
[19:33] <ruben23> anyone have idea permission denied error on my wubi installation
[19:33] <damo_> willis
[19:34] <damo_> i downloaded tht program willis how to i apply themes
[19:34] <cankoy> Rodensky: read fstab man page for details, and there's a comma btw defaults and relatime
[19:34] <terrafox> need help with dvd playback, anyone?
[19:34] <usser> rpolak, sudo update-rc.d -f ntp disable
[19:34] <Dr_Willis> damo_:  install it run it.. learn to use it.. it can doownload theme pacakges, you then  use.
[19:34] <Rodensky> how do i get the the man?
[19:34] <Dr_Willis> damo_:  im not sure it makes a menu icon. run it with the command epidermis (or however its spelt)
[19:35] <skysong> terrafox: have you tried adding ubuntu-restricted extras?
[19:35] <terrafox> yes
[19:35] <skysong> installing rather..
[19:35] <skysong> and whats the matter?
[19:35] <terrafox> and the lib's
[19:35] <Rodensky> how do i get the fstab man?
[19:36] <terrafox> the dvd lags
[19:36] <skysong> terrafox: you tried another player? xine works perfectly here.
[19:37] <its_me> I am new to IRC, can I communicate through voice through IRC channels?
[19:37] <Rodensky> medical school is easier... :\
[19:37] <terrafox> skysong: havent tried xine yet, I've used several ones and same problem
[19:37] <rpolak> usser,  That didn't do the trick
[19:37] <Dr_Willis> its_me:  not really.
[19:37] <callofduty> are there themes for ubuntu?
[19:37] <Dr_Willis> its_me:  theres 1700+ people in here :)
[19:37] <skysong> terrafox: i had troubles playing dvds on vlc and mplayer.. switching to xine helped.
[19:38] <Dr_Willis> callofduty:  theres all kinds of themes for Gnome and other programs
[19:38] <Dr_Willis> !changetheme
[19:38] <terrafox> skysong: looking for it now
[19:38] <callofduty> thanks thats fast
[19:38] <skysong> terrafox: could it be you haven't installed the drivers for your graphic card?
[19:38] <callofduty> thx
[19:38] <usser> rpolak, hm, i dont know then, strange i thought ubuntu still allowed rc.d, apparently not
[19:38] <its_me> Dr_Willis: What do they mean when they say "I have voice access on some channel"?
[19:39] <terrafox> skysong: how can i check?
[19:39] <exodus_ms> where can I find a schema, config file, anything that will allow me to change and or disable the the notify-osd in karmic?
[19:39] <rpolak> usser, apparently something within upstart is still kicking off the process
[19:39] <sudaya> Rodensky: man fstab
[19:39] <skysong> terrafox: glxgears?
[19:39] <terrafox> skysong: where do i get xine. its not listed inteh application list
[19:40] <VCoolio> exodus_ms: what do you want to change?
[19:40] <skysong> it is listed.. xine-ui or smthg
[19:40] <Doc_Lappy> anyone experienced with getting drivers for the new karmic for a hp pavilion dv6000 series?
[19:40] <Rodensky> conkoy: i'm reading the fstab man and it's anything but understooable for a newbie like me...
[19:40] <skysong> terrafox: which version of ubuntu you're running?
[19:40] <acct1> hi all, to make my 9.10 install work i need to modify a file in /sys/devices/platform which i can do under sudo but then the file gets rewritten on reboot.  how about I make the change permanent?
[19:40] <terrafox> skysong: jaunty
[19:41] <cankoy> Rodensky: then just do what I said...
[19:41] <skysong> alright. try searching for gxine?
[19:41] <exodus_ms> VCoolio, the time it's displayed, position, maybe a way to set an exception in compiz etc
[19:41] <usser> acct1, put the command in /etc/rc.local
[19:41] <kazagistar> Doc_Lappy: I have a low end one, and everything seems to work fine for me
[19:42] <usser> acct1, thats one way, but usually kernel parameters are put in /etc/sysctl.conf
[19:42] <terrafox> skysong: nothing
[19:42] <acct1> usser: so it has to run on every reboot?  i guess that's new kernel thing?
[19:42] <Rodensky> cankoy - i did a part of it, however i'm asking for help in order to continue without crashing something
[19:42] <Tonno> how do i change the login screen on 9.10?
[19:42] <Doc_Lappy> I've went thru two or three different sites and can't get my wifi to work making a niswrapper, anybody know how to do it that can lead me thru it?
[19:42] <skysong> hold on
[19:42] <infid> tonno same way
[19:42] <exodus_ms> VCoolio, looked through gconf-editor and I couldnt find notify-osd but I did find update-notifier and some others
[19:42] <ibuclaw> usser, not /sys parameters
[19:42] <usser> acct1, no its a really convoluted way of doing things but its easy
[19:42] <VCoolio> exodus_ms: the way it looks is fixed, but if you want it to be positioned in the top right corner and not below, you need an other package in karmic, I'll give you a link
[19:42] <ibuclaw> usser, sysctl controls /proc/sys parameters
[19:42] <Rodensky> i guess there is some sort of impotance to the phrase after "ext4.."
[19:42] <cankoy> Rodensky: paste the line you added, I'll check it
[19:42] <ibuclaw> iirc
[19:42] <acct1> usser: thanks i'll try that.
[19:42] <usser> ibuclaw, where does /sys conf go?
[19:43] <usser> ibuclaw, i mean what conf control /sys stuff
[19:43] <skysong> !xine
[19:43] <VCoolio> exodus_ms: http://ppa.launchpad.net/gilir/updates/ubuntu
[19:43] <lstarnes> usser: /etc/sysctl.conf controls sysctl, which has control over at least part of /sys
[19:43] <VCoolio> exodus_ms: in karmic the popups are lower than in jaunty for obscure reasons
[19:43] <baba_b00ie> i heard through the grapvine that 9.10 was sorta buggy.
[19:43] <Dr_Willis> Tonno:  on 9.10 gdm is not as themeable at this time as it used to be.
[19:43] <baba_b00ie> is that true
[19:43]  * ibuclaw looks at the script
[19:43] <Tonno> infid, noup, because if i go to Login screen on System, it dont show me the list of screen that i have.
[19:43] <skysong> terrafox: how did you search for xine? through synaptic?
[19:43] <Dr_Willis> baba_b00ie:  i have no issues hwere with my 3 machines with 3 clean installs
[19:44] <terrafox> skysong: yes
[19:44] <kazagistar> Doc_Lappy: mine worked fine by going to "System > Hardware Drivers" and installing the Broadcom STA drivers, but it might be broken after trying other things
[19:44] <usser> lstarnes, how about what ibuclaw said "usser, sysctl controls /proc/sys parameters"
[19:44] <Tonno> Dr_Willis, ohh ok :(
[19:44] <Dr_Willis> baba_b00ie:  I hear compuuters are 'sorta buggy'
[19:44] <Rodensky> cankoy: UUID="38699b19-5d66-4b7f-b336-a0c173ad969c /home ext4
[19:44] <terrafox> skysong: is there a way to do it in the terminal
[19:44] <skysong> terrafox: try sudo apt-get install xine-ui
[19:44] <skysong> because i remember installing it yesterday:/
[19:44] <dante123> Doc_Lappy what kind of pc?  brand etc?
[19:44] <Dr_Willis> Tonno:  check out http://epidermis.tuxfamily.org/   it lets you change the GDM a little bit. :)
[19:44] <exodus_ms> VCoolio, what is the deal for when I hover over it, it goes transparent, nice feature but totally useless for me, Is this something that needs to be changed in notify-osd or is compiz applying this setting?
[19:45] <ibuclaw> usser, last time I looked, that was the case
[19:45] <exodus_ms> VCoolio, I cant apply an exception in compiz for the notifier because it never gains focus so to speak
[19:45] <VCoolio> exodus_ms: if I'm not misstaken it is so you can still use what is beneath it, like search bar in firefox
[19:45] <terrafox> skysong: installing. will try and let u know
[19:45] <ibuclaw> usser, then again, last time I looked, it was a script that handled the /etc/sysctl.conf file
[19:45] <ibuclaw> that seems not to be the case now
[19:46] <usser> ibuclaw, cool
[19:46] <exodus_ms> VCoolio, ok, would just like the option to choose what works best for me :P
[19:46] <cankoy> Rodensky: UUID="38699b19-5d66-4b7f-b336-a0c173ad969c /home ext4 defaults,relatime 0 2
[19:46] <skysong> sure. However, if you haven't installed your gfx drivers, xine won't help much.
[19:46] <VCoolio> exodus_ms: notifications aren't very tweakable, go with the package i pointed to
[19:46] <_Spider_> moin
[19:46] <Tonno> Dr_Willis, woah... thanks :)
[19:46] <ibuclaw> usser, sysctl is part of the procps package
[19:46] <exodus_ms> VCoolio, I'll give it a try, thank you
[19:46] <Rodensky> are you sure?
[19:47] <ibuclaw> usser, look at the description, it says /proc file system utilities
[19:47] <catamarquence> how do we use ppa purge?
[19:47] <usser> ibuclaw, alright, i'll look into, thanks
[19:47] <Dr_Willis> Tonno:  changeing the wallpaper is easy..  the rest is a bit harder to tweak
[19:48] <Tonno> ohhh ok
[19:48] <ibuclaw> usser, /sys parameters are set at boot time as part of the kernel params
[19:48] <Rodensky> cankoy: are you sure?
[19:48] <Tonno> Dr_Willis, ohh ok  :)
[19:48] <ibuclaw> usser, at least, again, as I recall
[19:48] <Rodensky> how do i save and exit fstab?
[19:48] <cankoy> Rodensky: what makes you question? do you know sth that I dont?
[19:48] <lstarnes> Rodensky: in which editor?
[19:48] <ibuclaw> usser, when you load a device with modprobe, you can specify parameters for which that device uses
[19:48] <terrafox> skysong: does this thing come with a manual  lol  how do i use it
[19:49] <ibuclaw> usser, but that is plenty of lecture for one day =)
[19:49] <usser> ibuclaw, ah so /sys is for devices?
[19:49] <skysong> terrafox: open it in applications -- sound and video or multimedia
[19:49] <Vhozard> In windows 7, there is a feature where you can drag a window to the side and make it 50% of the total width. Is this possible in Ubuntu?
[19:49] <rpolak> I'm trying to figure out how upstart is initing ntp in Ubuntu 9.10
[19:49] <ibuclaw> usser, yepo
[19:49] <vmware-trouble> I am running Ubuntu 9.04, I have a windows in the vmware that doesnt work after upgrading, can I run the windows XP in virtualbox, the same windowsXP that I ran in Vmware server ?
[19:49] <usser> ibuclaw, cool
[19:50] <usser> vmware-trouble, yes you should be able to
[19:50] <Rodensky> cankoy / Istarnes: how do i save and exit fstab? (in the terminal)
[19:50] <Dr_Willis> Vhozard:  not noticed that feature yet.. it could be done by a compiz plugin i imagine.. but I drag my windows to the side,, and they got to my other monitor, or next virtualdesktop. :)
[19:50] <usser> vmware-trouble, latest virtualbox understands vmdk files
[19:50] <jugglerbry__> anyone know of a decent photo editor to use in ubuntu ? i've seen digicam which is kde.  dont suppose this matter does it ?
[19:50] <usser> jugglerbry__, picasa?
[19:50] <heinzdembowski> hi, i'd like to switch the control-c keystroke on gnome-terminal to be alt-c does anybody know of a way to do this?
[19:50] <terrafox> skysong: it better but you can still see and hear it lag
[19:50] <vmware-trouble> usser: thanks man, vmware server giving me lot of trouble after the upgrade
[19:50] <ortsvorsteher> !gimp | jugglerbry__
[19:50] <skysong> Rodensky: you're using nano?
[19:50] <Dr_Willis> Vhozard:  i noticed some how i drag windows UP and they full screened/maxanized fro me the other day.
[19:51] <ibuclaw> usser, /proc is for processes, and system attributes (ie: /proc/sys/vm/swappiness, which controls how much Linux favours swap over RAM)
[19:51] <Vhozard> Dr_Willis yes, I get that too. I have 4 virtual desktops with compiz.
[19:51] <terrafox> skysong: how do i check the card
[19:51] <skysong> terrafox: you have a geforce?
[19:51] <usser> ibuclaw, right
[19:51] <rpolak> ugglerbry__: Gimp
[19:51] <terrafox> skysong: yes
[19:51] <Rodensky> skysong: i think so, not sure, i opened it with "sudo editor" in the terminal
[19:51] <Vhozard> Dr_Willis Yes, that possible if you maximize a window and then drag it down and up again.
[19:51] <ibuclaw> usser, both /sys and /proc are temporary (or volatile) filesystems, so any changes are lost at reboot. But you should know that already.
[19:52] <jugglerbry__> seems to be unanimous then.  spend time learning gimp.  thanks all
[19:52] <skysong> terrafox: then it might be that you'll need to download and install the drivers.. sudo apt-get update then run synaptic and search for nvidia
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> Vhozard:  i wasent sure how it got triggered,. :) i  just noticed it doing it on accident.
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> jugglerbry__:  check out  the 'meet the gimp' web site with video tutorials.
[19:52] <wwp> hey anybody here who knows how to get xen running under karmic x86_64?
[19:52] <skysong> Rodensky: if its nano then it should be control+O
[19:52] <Vhozard> Dr_Willis Haha, me too. But I know now it only happens if a window is already maximized.
[19:52] <skysong> and control+x to exit nano
[19:53] <jugglerbry__> ok dr willis will do, thanks for the tip
[19:53] <terrafox> skysong: i have the x server and hardware divers (the one wiht the lock icon on it)
[19:53] <Rodensky> in a few minutes the system will end installing updates and then i'll reboot to see if it worked..
[19:54] <vmware-trouble> usser: where did it install, cant find it :(
[19:54] <skysong> terrafox: i *think* the nvidia drivers in the repo should have -sources in the name.. is this the one you installed?
[19:54] <paolino> mmhh, wireshark and ettercap freeze the system
[19:54] <usser> vmware-trouble, did you install from repos?
[19:54] <usser> vmware-trouble, get the version from virtualbox.org its got usb support
[19:54] <paolino> anyone with this problem ?
[19:55] <usser> vmware-trouble, once install you can run it with VirtualBox command
[19:55] <vmware-trouble> usser: yes I got it from virtualbox for Ubuntu 9.04,
[19:55] <Xubuntus> Hi, everyone. Anyone with sound working and ALC833 (or the Motherboard MSI-K9VGM-V)?
[19:55] <ward-> vmware-trouble, theres virtualbox-ose and virtualbox, only virtualbox had usb support
[19:55] <ward-> just to be clear
[19:55] <usser> vmware-trouble, usually goes into main menu->system tools
[19:55] <ibuclaw> Xubuntus, I recognise that card ...
[19:55] <ibuclaw> Realtek?
[19:57] <terrafox> skysong: dont see that one. i have NVIDIA X Server Settings and NVIDIA accelerated grafics direce ver 180 that was recomended
[19:57] <skysong> terrafox: install it.
[19:57] <ibuclaw> terrafox, in the hardware drivers menu?
[19:57] <xuzas> #join ubuntu-es
[19:57] <xuzas> joder
[19:57] <usser> vmware-trouble, also look at the VBoxManage and such command line utilities and VirtualBox RDP interface, they are not as gui-friendly as vmware web page configuartion, but they sure are faster and more reliable and with SSH server and a small linux install like basic debian you have a pretty much full-fledged hypervisor, at least beats Microsoft's hyper-v thats for sure
[19:57] <skysong> terrafox: sorry really can't give you exact names since im not running ubuntu. The 180 drivers should work fine though.
[19:57] <terrafox> yes the hardware menu and its installed
[19:58] <xuzas> join #ubuntu-es
[19:58] <VCoolio> where do I change sound to alsa in karmic? gnome-volume-control is being ridiculous (says nothing is playing audio while mplayer is blowing Mozarts Requiem into my room) and also lacks the old options
[19:58] <xuzas> mecaguento
[19:58] <skysong> terrafox: have you tried glxgears?
[19:58] <terrafox> skysong: np
[19:58] <ibuclaw> terrafox, FYI, the 180 drivers are just a placeholder name.
[19:58] <vmware-trouble> usser: ok I need to find where my XP-module for last vmware was
[19:58] <ibuclaw> you'll really be installing the 185 drivers
[19:58] <terrafox> skysong: no. how do i do it
[19:58] <skysong> terrafox: open a terminal and type glxgears
[19:59] <wwp> should i ask in #ubuntu-server instead?
[19:59] <vmware-trouble> usser: where does vmware usually keep those images ?
[19:59] <skysong> check the output, it should yield something like >2k fps
[19:59] <wwp> i just gonna do that
[19:59] <ibuclaw> wwp, what was the issue (I can't see your question?)
[19:59] <vmware-trouble> /var/lib/vmware/
[19:59] <vmware-trouble> got it
[20:00] <Darkedge> uh
[20:00] <mnemo> why doesnt "chroot /home/user/myroot" work? it says "chroot: cannot change root directory to /home/mnemo/root: Operation not permitted" ??
[20:00] <usser> vmware-trouble, cool
[20:00]  * Darkedge is wondering if Compiz and Intel cards has been fixed in 9.10?
[20:00] <shang> hi all, how do i disable virtual terminal, in Karmic ???
[20:00] <terrafox> skysong: i get 1447.172 fps and the list continues
[20:00] <wwp> ibuclaw: i have got problems installing xen under x86_64 karmic and i think that's caused by grub-pc
[20:00] <usser> mnemo, you cant chroot as a regular user
[20:00] <usser> mnemo, needs root permissions
[20:00] <geico> what's the command to tell me which version of ubuntu i'm running?
[20:00] <ibuclaw> Darkedge, my netbook runs light compiz effects just fine
[20:01] <Alice1> Can anyone help me with this? I tried to use the Update Manager, but a message saying E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[20:01] <Alice1> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[20:01] <Alice1> came up. Does anyone know anything about it?
[20:01] <skysong> terrafox: which card is that? and you're sure you have the drivers installed?
[20:01] <osmosisk> I would like to change the grub2 menu.  how do I edit the  30_os-prober  file ?
[20:01] <usser> shang, look in /etc/inittab
[20:01] <terrafox> ibuclaw: its the only driver available and its installed
[20:01] <ibuclaw> Darkedge, and gnome-shell works well too
[20:01] <mnemo> usser: ok but "sudo chroot /home/mnemo/root" also doesnt work... that one says "chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory" even though I have /bin/bash available both inside and outside of the chroot?
[20:01] <vigo> mnemo: Have you used the chpasswd?
[20:01] <terrafox> skysong: yes they are installed. how do i find the card info
[20:01] <shang> usser: there are no inittab on my system
[20:01] <OpticOn> i just used likewise to join my ubuntu client to my windows server domain but after rebooting client isnt it supposed to allow me to login with domain user accounts?
[20:01] <mnemo> vigo: no what is that?
[20:01] <ibuclaw> terrafox, ok, and I take it you have rebooted to allow the driver to be used?
[20:01] <usser> shang, huh?
[20:02] <usser> shang, redhat?
[20:02] <Darkedge> ibuclaw: Did they work in 9.04?
[20:02] <terrafox> ibuclaw: yes installed it from day one
[20:02] <ibuclaw> wwp, not big on xen myself, though I may know someone who can
[20:02] <shang> usser: no, KARMIC
[20:02] <vigo> mnemo: here is a link: http://www.debianadmin.com/category/securit
[20:02] <Rodensky> cankoy: THANK YOU!!! :D
[20:02] <shang> usser: do u have it on yours?? upgrade ? or fresh install?
[20:02] <mib_mib> hi guys, i'm trying to install and use 'ruby'; i wanted ruby 1.9 instead of 1.8, so i did 'apt-get install ruby1.9'; however, at the shell, when i type 'ruby' it says it is not installed; whats the deal?
[20:02] <lstarnes> mib_mib: try ruby1.9
[20:02] <vmware-trouble> usser: it doesnt say anything about load or open module, in virtualbox, how am I going to load the windows xp without creating a new virtualmachine
[20:03] <mib_mib> lstarnes: how do i run irb?
[20:03] <keiya> http://notalwaysright.com/the-glass-is-99-999-empty/3025
[20:03] <ibuclaw> Darkedge, it worked in 9.04 for me... but am aware that some higher end intel graphics chips were blacklisted for seldom reasons why you asked.
[20:03] <usser> shang, i have it on my debian testing. hm ubuntu changes a lot of stuff
[20:03] <cankoy> Alice1: the message tells you what to do... open a terminal and type that command.
[20:03] <terrafox> well got to go. tanks for the help. will try to log in latter
[20:03] <PITA1> Hi All, I've been trying to download b0146b3d658d2471c7d4e9e43d32f24431d5a9bf	ubuntu-9.10-desktop-powerpc+ps3.iso torrent for 2 days now, and nothing happens. I've got the normal 9.10 32 and 64bit cd's to download via bittorrent, but the PS3 one does not want to budge, not one bit.
[20:03] <lstarnes> mib_mib: try irb1.9
[20:03] <keiya> ... wat
[20:03] <mib_mib> lstarnes: hehe okay thanks
[20:03] <Alice1> Oh, thanks!
[20:03] <wwp> ibuclaw: ok thanks... i think that this is actually caused by grub because there is no alternative offered on boot and the standard "server" kernel is loaded all the time
[20:03] <usser> vmware-trouble, you will have to create a new virtualmachine just when it asks you what harddrive image to use point it to your winXP .vmdk file
[20:03] <Xubuntus> ibuclaw, Yepp, it's Realtek.
[20:03] <shang> usser: yeah, I know....
[20:03] <usser> vmware-trouble, backup your vmdk file first
[20:03] <skysong> terrafox: maybe its a resource problem?
[20:03] <mib_mib> lstarnes: ruby1.9 may be working, but irb1.9 doesn't
[20:03] <mnemo> vigo: you mean I have to use "chpasswd" first to make "chroot" work?
[20:04] <wrgb> geiko: System > About Ubuntu
[20:04] <ibuclaw> Darkedge, Ubuntu 9.10 have switched the intel driver to another newer one, that handles 3D rendering better.
[20:04] <terrafox> skysong: I'll try to connect later and find out
[20:04] <FuManchu> osmosisk, "/usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib" without the quotes and then "sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" without the quotes in terminal?
[20:04] <VCoolio> I have a harddisk partitions /dev/sda1 with label "Data" mounting to /media/disk added as "LABEL=Data" etc in fstab; all fine but in nautilus also "disk" shows up; when I click that it says partition already mounted or target busy or whatever; why does it show up both as Data (correct) and disk in nautilus?
[20:04] <mib_mib> lstarnes: i guess i need to install irb seperately
[20:04] <vigo> mnemo: That is just a suggestion from Debian, I did not know if you had been into that area yet.
[20:04] <Xubuntus> ibuclaw, Are you using ALC883?
[20:05] <keiya> Wait, sorry about that, I'm in the wrong channel again >_>
[20:05] <Otacon22> !skype
[20:05] <vmware-trouble> Failed to open the hard disk /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines/Windows XP Professional/Windows XP Professional-000001.vmdk
[20:05] <usser> shang, thats why i hate ubuntu, they have something call runit that handles this kind of stuff apparently
[20:05] <vmware-trouble> usser:
[20:05] <Otacon22> !skype | otacon22
[20:05] <ibuclaw> Darkedge, quote: "...The Intel video driver has switched from the "EXA" acceleration method to the new "UXA". This solves major performance problems of Ubuntu 9.04, but could use further testing to flag any regressions it may bring..."
[20:05] <usser> vmware-trouble, yes
[20:05] <mnemo> vigo: I just want to try to use "chroot" but I can't make that command work whatever parameters I feed it
[20:05] <vmware-trouble> usser: it says failed to open, access denied
[20:05] <wwp> ibuclaw: i just gonna ask on #ubuntu-server i think that channel matches best
[20:05] <osmosisk> How do I change the names of the alternate OS's that grub2 detects?
[20:06] <ibuclaw> that's fine wwp
[20:06] <FuManchu> idk
[20:06] <Darkedge> Has anyone here, NOT had intel cards work in 9.04 and then it with 9.10?
[20:06] <Darkedge> and thanks ibuclaw
[20:06] <Darkedge> :)
[20:06] <vigo> mnemo: I am still learning every day, that looked like the workaround or a working script language to use for that.
[20:06] <osmosisk> i clicked the high contrast button in the login screen options, and now I cant get it to go back to the way it originally was.
[20:06] <usser> vmware-trouble, well if it was in /var/lib/ i assume root was the owner of the file, copy it to your home directory and run chown on the file
[20:06] <ibuclaw> wwp, it's gets really busy in here, so I imagine the other channel will allow you to have a better support conversation ;)
[20:07] <mib_mib> lstarnes: thanks
[20:07] <vmware-trouble> usser: there are lot of vmdk files, should I copy only the latest one ?
[20:07] <OpticOn> i just used likewise to join my ubuntu client to my windows server domain but after rebooting client isnt it supposed to allow me to login with domain user accounts?
[20:07] <usser> vmware-trouble, the biggest one that has windowsXP or whatever you named your machine, the others are just snapshots
[20:07] <usser> vmware-trouble, probably
[20:07] <ibuclaw> Xubuntus, I think one of my machines uses it, I'll have to look up though
[20:07] <kim_> is it possible to use awk with top to output cpu load?
[20:07] <ibuclaw> Xubuntus, is it that you are getting no sound whatsoever?
[20:07] <usser> OpticOn, it does allow you to login
[20:07] <PITA1> Hi All, I've been trying to download b0146b3d658d2471c7d4e9e43d32f24431d5a9bf ubuntu-9.10-desktop-powerpc+ps3.iso torrent for 2 days now, and nothing happens. I've got the normal 9.10 32 and 64bit cd's to download via bittorrent, but the PS3 one does not want to budge, not one bit.
[20:08] <ibuclaw> Xubuntus, have you checked alsamixer for all volume settings?
[20:08] <FuManchu> does it mute the sound on reboot?
[20:08] <usser> OpticOn, do you prepend your username with domain name like so: DOMAIN.AD\username
[20:08] <lstarnes> PITA1: do you have any peers that are seeding it?
[20:08] <PITA1> 4 seeds 1 peer
[20:08] <jrib> kim_: yeah, but you could probably do it more easily with ps I'm guessing
[20:08] <vigo> mnemo: That is in no way an official Debian site, is just one I had up and was looking at. Let me find the Ubuntu/Debian man page for that.
[20:08] <MrLogan> I'm having an issue with Evolution. I have a pop3 account that has worked fine with the e-mail client consistently until about 10 minutes ago. Whenever I attempt to sync the account I see "waiting" as the status message followed by "Retrieving POP summary" and that's it. I know there are two new messages, but it does not retrieve them. Help?
[20:08] <OpticOn> exactly the same as windows?
[20:09] <usser> OpticOn, yep
[20:09] <shang> usser: runit??
[20:09] <wwp> ibuclaw: ok ciao and thank you very much anyhow
[20:09] <OpticOn> kk thanks thought i tried it just before i logged on ill go an try again
[20:09] <FuManchu> if it mutes the sound on reboot, it might need to have the button sounds turned off
[20:09] <ortsvorsteher> MrLogan: may your account allows only to get new messages everey 30 minutes?
[20:09] <webbb82> i dont   know what i did but when i turned my  computer on today   im getting some screen flickering and it is very annoying anyone els know about this
[20:09] <PITA1> lstarnes  I have other torrents working fine with local and remote peers including the 32bit cd and the 64bit cd, so I have access to the torrents
[20:09] <MrLogan> ortsvorsteher, I never really had a problem with it doing that before. = / I can attempt it again in thirty minutes and see what happens though.
[20:10] <ortsvorsteher> :)
[20:10] <ibuclaw> PITA1, PPC isn't the most popular platform for Ubuntu
[20:10] <ibuclaw> hence the lack of seeders
[20:10] <ibuclaw> PITA1, you'll be better off downloading it from the server
[20:10] <usser> shang, runit or upstart the tty settings are handled by one of those packages
[20:10] <vmware-trouble> usser: cant I run chown in that directory, the entire directory is 55gigs with lots of 2gig files
[20:10] <PITA1> 4 seeds, but no sharing, that's weird
[20:11] <vigo> mnemo: This is the Debian site: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/index.en.html
[20:11] <wiencon> hi
[20:11] <FuManchu> i had the screen refresh rate at 75 hz and it wasn't wide enough, so i changed the refresh rate to 70 hz and it's good to go, now
[20:11] <PITA1> I'll go download it then. What a waste of bandwidth
[20:11] <ibuclaw> vmware-trouble, size shouldn't matter when you chown
[20:11] <MrLogan> !Hello | wiencon
[20:11] <usser> vmware-trouble, you can do that i suppose, but it'd still backup. virtualbox might break things
[20:11] <PITA1> thanks for the help, have a great day
[20:11] <usser> vmware-trouble, i'd still backup sorry
[20:11] <xpo0f> yeahh
[20:11] <vmware-trouble> usser: ok, how do I chown
[20:11] <vigo> !backup
[20:11] <xpo0f> man chown
[20:12] <usser> vmware-trouble, chown -R username:username /directory
[20:12] <usser> vmware-trouble, sudo chown rather
[20:12] <xpo0f> !clonezilla
[20:12] <OpticOn> odd im getting auth failure when trying to login
[20:12] <genii-around> Clonezilla is not yet in repos
[20:12] <ibuclaw> vmware-trouble, chown only changes the file attributes (that take up one 512bytes block of memory, or whatever the filesystem blocksize was set at at creation.)
[20:12] <vigo> xpo0f: Thank you, MAN is a good habit to get into.

[20:12] <MrLogan> !Polish | wiencon
[20:12] <usser> OpticOn, did your computer showed up on the domain?
[20:12] <wiencon> anybody speak poland?
[20:12] <xpo0f> genii-around, notice !
[20:13] <usser> OpticOn, did you restart after adding it to the domain?
[20:13] <OpticOn> yes the machine account shows up in ad
[20:13] <OpticOn> yes i rebooted client with ubuntu
[20:13] <ibuclaw> wiencon, a little, but have not learned much since my granddad passed away :(
[20:13] <ibou> is there a file where i can find some old set up report ?
[20:13] <OpticOn> looking over ubuntu system log now
[20:13] <ibuclaw> wiencon, is there anyone in #ubuntu-pl ?
[20:13] <usser> OpticOn, did you try with full name and short name for your domain. in my case wouldnt let me login with LIBRARY.AD but worked fine with LIBRARY
[20:13] <xpo0f> OpticOn, what problem
[20:14] <kriel> How well does VirtualBox work on ubuntu? I'm considering making an XP VM using ~75-80% of the available computer resources as a gaming platform, but not sure if the performance will do well enough to run games.
[20:14] <awallin> after upgrading to 9.10 I keep gettint 'mysql-client' and 'mysql-client-5.0' as "distribution updates" by Update Manager, but I can't select these packages for updating ?? what's going on?
[20:14] <webxmax> careva sa ma inteleaga si pe mine
[20:14] <OpticOn> yes i tried both testdomain.local\username and testdomain\username
[20:14] <jrib> kriel: try and see
[20:14] <rpolak> genii-around: What are you trying to do with Clonzilla
[20:14] <Ileden> After upgrading to 9.10, I got compiz support working for my Ubuntu (Netbook Remix), which is wonderful! However, after restarting Compiz is always turned back off, and needs to be re-enabled from Appearence-menu. How do I troubleshoot this issue?
[20:14] <xpo0f> awallin, look for cache which one
[20:14] <MrLogan> kriel, I'm using VirtualBox now with Vista
[20:15] <genii-around> rpolak: "<xpo0f> !clonezilla"
[20:15] <xpo0f> Ileden, look for xorg.conf
[20:15] <vigo> awallin: Have you done the update/upgrade in Terminal. can also be aptitude,
[20:15] <FuManchu> ubuntu 9.04 did some updates on here, earlier
[20:15] <usser> OpticOn, and overall likewise did some kind of magic, i didnt like that, i'd also try doing it manually with samba/winbind if i were you.
[20:15] <MrLogan> kriel, I've got Karmix (9.10) installed with VirtualBox running Vista as we speak. I think it works perfectly in Ubuntu - I haven't had a single problem yet with it.
[20:15] <xpo0f> rpolak, clonezilla is for backup and restoring image
[20:15] <egtux> Hello
[20:16] <Ileden> xpo0f: Ok. What do I look from there?
[20:16] <FuManchu> i wonder how long they'll offer updates for ubuntu 9.04?
[20:16] <egtux> Could anyone help me with sound problem?
[20:16] <awallin> vigo, xpo0f: I've done the update with Update Manager, I don't know what cache to look in..
[20:16] <ortsvorsteher> !anyone | egtux
[20:16] <usser> !aski | egtux
[20:16] <osmosisk> Can someone help me restore my login screen to the old look? I pressed the high contrast option, and now it wont go back.
[20:16] <usser> !ask | egtux
[20:16] <OpticOn> ok ill look into that i guess before today i never new it was possible to have ubuntu apart of windows ad domain but i see it is
[20:16] <vigo> awallin: Have you done it with Terminal?
[20:17] <xpo0f> Ileden, look clonezilla.org/
[20:17] <dluzan> Could anyone help me .. I want disable all icons in Main Menu ...
[20:17] <Akuma> hello, I currently have a computer, that has both ext3 and lvm volumes
[20:17] <egtux> i did fresh ubuntu installation
[20:17] <Darkedge> Can I use Ubuntu one before I install Ubuntu, I have some things i wanta move over from my Debian System
[20:17] <Darkedge> :)
[20:17] <awallin> vigo: nope, using Update Manager only
[20:17] <egtux> all thing is good
[20:17] <terrafox1> skysong: you there
[20:17] <ortsvorsteher> !enter | egtux
[20:17] <egtux> except
[20:17] <usser> OpticOn, there are actually a number of ways, samba/winbind, ldap and likewise which i think uses ldap behind the scenes
[20:17] <Akuma> these are running on slackware and I would like to install ubuntu
[20:17] <Akuma> without losing the data on the LVM
[20:17] <jibo_> how can i disable automount of usb devices on my system
[20:17] <egtux> no sound out from microphone
[20:18] <Akuma> I'd like to install ubuntu on the ext3 partition
[20:18] <vigo> awallin: Take a look at the forums, then update/upgrade the way that you prefer, it sounds like that is what you need to do.
[20:18] <xpo0f> Akuma, and then .. create an ext3 filesystem and install
[20:18] <usser> OpticOn, samba4 will even have support for logon scripts, policies and such and likewise has something like that in the works too
[20:18] <Akuma> xpo0f: will I lose my LVM volume?
[20:18] <xpo0f> Akuma, u will creave a LVM volume afterthat
[20:18] <OpticOn> samba4 the os?
[20:19] <xpo0f> cfdisk -h maybe help
[20:19] <Akuma> I already have an LVM volume
[20:19] <Akuma> with data
[20:19] <usser> !samba | OpticOn
[20:19] <Alan502> Hi :D i just installed kubuntu-desktop, now i want compiz to work with kde to get the cube effect. How can i enable compiz cube in kde?
[20:19] <Akuma> that I cannot move
[20:19] <xpo0f> !info compiz
[20:19] <egtux> i have output device "internal audio analo stero"
[20:19] <dluzan> how can I disable all icons in Main Menu ?
[20:19] <xpo0f> Alan502, look for manual
[20:20] <xpo0f> dluzan, maybe u can go to tty !
[20:20] <OpticOn> I would like to find linux os with native domain join features right after the install
[20:20] <Alan502> xpo0f, what type of manual? is there a kde or compiz manual somewhere?
[20:20] <skysong> Alan502: just install it with synaptic
[20:20] <usser> OpticOn, depends on what you mean by native? samba is pretty native to linux
[20:20] <xpo0f> Alan502, man compiz
[20:21] <usser> OpticOn, and Suse is as close as it gets when cooperating with windows environment
[20:21] <Alan502> skysong, i have already installed compiz and compiz config with synaptic. Even tho i have configured the cube in the settings, i cannot get the effect

[20:21] <BiNaRyCoD> hi, i am trying to install ubuntu from a pxe boot, but i need some help and if anyone has experience in this please reply
[20:21] <Akuma> Ok, I'll restate my problem: I have a slackware machine, which has an ext3 patition with my system and an LVM partition with important data. I would like to install ubuntu on the ext3 partition without losing any of the data on the LVM volume; will ubuntu recognize my LVM volume and leave it alone when I reinstall on the ext 3 partition?
[20:21] <Darkedge> Guys?
[20:21] <xpo0f> BiNaRyCoD, make sure u setting up DHCP and TFTPD first
[20:21] <xamox> how do I make ubuntu boot to the command prompt
[20:21] <skysong> Alan502: compiz --replace maybe?
[20:22] <BiNaRyCoD> xpo0f: I have my router disabled and have tftp setup
[20:22] <xpo0f> Alan502, dpkg-reconfigure compiz .. maybe help
[20:22] <usser> OpticOn, although i'd imagine suse has removed most of gui/easy windows AD stuff from their free version, and wants you to pay for convenience of joing to domain with a single click
[20:22] <ortsvorsteher> xamox: try to stop boot with escape when you asked and select failsave session
[20:22] <xpo0f> BiNaRyCoD, u have vmlinuz image as well ?
[20:22] <BiNaRyCoD> I just used filezilla to get netboot of karma ubuntu
[20:22] <OpticOn> yea would figure
[20:22] <OpticOn> lol
[20:23] <egtux> how to check that microphone is working good
[20:23] <FuManchu> cya
[20:23] <Alan502> xpo0f, thanks, i will try dpkg. Appreciated!
[20:23] <jtan189> what's a good piece of software to play 720/1080p mkv files?
[20:23] <xamox> ortsvorsteher, I want it to do it everytime
[20:23] <xpo0f> Alan502, welcome
[20:23] <ortsvorsteher> xamox: why this?
[20:23] <xpo0f> egtux, maybe u need alsaconf or aptitude install alsa
[20:23] <mespejel> hello.. one quick question.. i know apt-get install.. is to install software.. but i remember there was one to find the software available what was that?
[20:24] <xpo0f> jtan189, look for codec
[20:24] <mespejel> apt-get search? or something like that?
[20:24] <Robbster> hi all. Just did a fresh install of Karmic, and I can't seem to get to my windows installation. os-prober responds with something about isw devices and RAID sets. there is no s/ware raid on my PC - Help ?
[20:24] <xpo0f> mespejel, apt-cache search <package>
[20:24] <xamox> ortsvorsteher, because I got a free netbook with netbook remix 8.10 installed on it. We are using it as a network monitor and don't need the graphical boot, I would rather have higher CPU availibility.
[20:24] <usser> OpticOn, take a look at this guide its pretty straightforward http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/battista/articles/winbind/ will work for ubuntu too
[20:24] <ortsvorsteher> mespejel: sudo apt-cache search
[20:24] <genii-around> mespejel: Correct
[20:24] <BiNaRyCoD> xpo0f: I get this error in the logs: pxelinux.cfg: error 2 in system call CreateFile
[20:24] <jtan189> ok, thanks!
[20:24] <genii-around> ortsvorsteher: No sudo required for search
[20:24] <mespejel> xpo0f: ok thanks.. cache is better to use than get?
[20:24] <xpo0f> BiNaRyCoD, look for the config too
[20:24] <xpo0f> mespejel, for look some software in repo
[20:24] <ortsvorsteher> xamox: may you try to disable gdm at startup
[20:24] <felo0315> quien habla español???
[20:25] <ortsvorsteher> genii-around: thank you
[20:25] <genii-around> !es | felo0315
[20:25] <xamox> ortsvorsteher, and this is accomplished by?
[20:25] <xpo0f> !es | felo0315
[20:25] <ubuntu123> !grub2
[20:25] <OpticOn> with likewise i did remove the mdns client so it would resolve .local domain name
[20:25] <Ileden> xpo0f: I don't see how clonezilla is relevant.
[20:25] <xpo0f> OpticOn, how about /etc/hosts
[20:25] <ortsvorsteher> xamox: look at the startup links under /etc/rc.* and unlink them
[20:26] <MrLogan> How do I change my mail view in Evolution from Oldest to Newest to Newest to Oldest?
[20:26] <xpo0f> Ileden, clonezilla if powerful enough than ghost
[20:26] <usser> OpticOn, also to troubleshoot stuff with username resolution you can just use sudo -u DOMAIN\\username "command" for example to see if it understands domain usernames
[20:26] <Ileden> xpo0f: uhh.. are you a bot?
[20:26] <OpticOn> in likewise their was the option to add something to that and it was enabled via gui client
[20:26] <xpo0f> Ileden, nope ! .. why?
[20:26] <Ileden> xpo0f: ok :)
[20:26] <grawity> MrLogan: Click on the column header.
[20:26] <xpo0f> OpticOn, i think u got problem with pam
[20:26] <ortsvorsteher> !boot | xamox
[20:26] <Darkedge> D:
[20:27] <usser> OpticOn, not sure why would you have .local hostnames
[20:27] <MrLogan> grawity, Thanks
[20:27] <yellowrooster> what is the version number of Xorg.conf in Ubuntu 9.10?
[20:27] <usser> OpticOn, once on the domain all hostnames should FQDN, ie host.domain.ad
[20:27] <Ileden> xpo0f: just that you were saying short replies that didn't seem relevant. Sure, clonezilla is a nice tool for duplicating hard disks, but how does it help me get Compiz working after restart?
[20:27] <grawity> yellowrooster: uhh, you mean Xorg? I haven't heard of config files having version numbers.
[20:28] <will1378> anyone know of a program that works as one of those buisness marquees? im trying to have my plasma tv display some .ppt slides, weather, and other business stuff for the people in my waiting rooms. any suggestions? thanks guys
[20:28] <xpo0f> Ileden, u talk about backup/restoring or about compiz
[20:28] <yellowrooster> yes, i meant xorg, grawity
[20:28] <Alan502> how do i set firefox as my default browser instead of konqueror?
[20:28] <xpo0f> Alan502, maybe lynx good for me
[20:28] <Daremonai> hello.. after updating to ubuntu 9.10 - there are 2 things that annoy me... #1, when i watch on fullscreen using vlc, screensaver kicks in after a while and puts it into black screen (and i don't want to disable the screensaver) -- #2 xterm's background has switched t o white which sucks, i want it to go back to black... anyone able to help me?
[20:28] <Ileden> xpo0f: ah, right. :) we have a misunderstandig. no, I didn't, not restoring in that sense.
[20:28] <usser> Daremonai, uxterm still has black background :)
[20:29] <Ileden> xpo0f: my problem is, every time I boot, compiz is turned off, even though I turned it on previously.
[20:29] <Daremonai> usser, that's true.. what's the difference between uxterm and xterm?
[20:29] <Alan502> xpo0f, lynx man? is it an app?
[20:29] <Daremonai> !uxterm
[20:29] <Robbster> hi all. Just did a fresh install of Karmic, and I can't seem to get to my windows installation. os-prober responds with something about isw devices and RAID sets. there is no s/ware raid on my PC - Help ?
[20:29] <xpo0f> u using what ? kde or gnome
[20:29] <usser> Daremonai, uxterm is unicode
[20:29] <yellowrooster> what is the version number of Xorg in Ubuntu 9.10?
[20:29] <usser> Daremonai, i think
[20:29] <xpo0f> !info lynx
[20:30] <Alan502> xpo0f, lol hahaha nah
[20:30] <Ileden> After upgrading to 9.10, I got compiz support working for my Ubuntu (Netbook Remix), which is wonderful! However, after restarting Compiz is always turned back off, and needs to be re-enabled from Appearence-menu. How do I troubleshoot this issue?
[20:30] <Daremonai> usser, alright... but why is xterm white? and how can i switch it to black?
[20:30] <xpo0f> !info xcommon-xorg | yellowrooster
[20:30] <usser> Ileden, add compiz --replace to system->preferences->startup applications
[20:30] <yellowrooster> xpo0f: huh?
[20:30] <Alan502> xpo0f, im using kde, but i want to set firefox as my default browser, instead of konqueror
[20:30] <Alan502> xpo0f, is there a way to do this?
[20:30] <xpo0f> Alan502, look what usser last comment
[20:31] <BiNaRyCoD> holy crap is there only 1 guy whos helping everyone, lol, good work xp0f!!!
[20:31] <xpo0f> yellowrooster, maybe u must look for X --version
[20:31] <iceroot> BiNaRyCoD: feel free to help too
[20:31] <grawity> usser's suggestion would work, yes... but it isn't the right way.
[20:31] <warlock43> programmers??
[20:31] <usser> Daremonai, well it has -selbg option
[20:32] <Ileden> usser: Hmm, I'll try that. This isn't the usual way compiz gets started at bootup, though, right?
[20:32] <yellowrooster> xpo0f: that didn't help
[20:32] <cankoy> yellowrooster: search 'xserver-xorg' in Synaptic
[20:32] <Alan502> xpo0f, god what i need thanks usser ; but this gives me gnome-like windows!
[20:32] <OpticOn> is this the right way to use this command via terminal? sudo -u compsolutions.local\\testacct
[20:32] <usser> Ileden, thats pretty much the way its done
[20:32] <madsj> hi; after upgrading to ubuntu 9.10, the sound has gone dead ...
[20:32] <grawity> Daremonai: Here is my ~/.Xresources - http://sprunge.us/UBUa
[20:33] <grawity> Daremonai: Adjust the colours to whatever you want.
[20:33] <madsj> lsmod lists a bunch of snd-modules; am using a laptop
[20:33] <usser> Alan502, you can set the window decoration style in ccsm
[20:33] <Daremonai> grawity thanks
[20:33] <grawity> Daremonai: To apply changes, xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
[20:33] <Alan502> usser, ok thanks :D
[20:33] <Daremonai> usser, i tried xterm -selbg black, it came as white
[20:33] <wiencon> anybody know how to make washing away windows?
[20:33] <Daremonai> grawity thanks, i will try
[20:34] <Ileden> usser: Ok. Not that I'd mind using a hackaround, but want to be clear on where I'm using them :)
[20:34] <gpled> anyone having trouble working with floppy drive in 9.10 ?
[20:34] <will1378> anyone know if laptops can output via vga port simul with lapscreen? right now its 1 or the other.
[20:34] <infid_> is there a music player like foobar2000 for ubuntu?
[20:34] <Alan502> usser, do you know were i can set startup applications in kde?
[20:34] <usser> Daremonai, hm you're right. the way it worked for me was because my xterm is black by default :)
[20:34] <yellowrooster> cankoy: thanks. it says under installed version "1:7.4+3ubuntu7". So what is my X.Org version number? 1? 7.4?
[20:34] <gpled> will1378: there is a key on your laptop that will cycle through the options
[20:34] <larrythelabrat> Hello, after upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 on a IBM thinkpad, I no longer have a wireless connection. Anybody had this problem and fix it? Is there a clean way to go back to 9.04, or do I just reinstall?
[20:34] <grawity> infid_: Not exactly....
[20:34] <clarinet> Hi, anyone know how to get more 3D desktop effects?
[20:35] <Daremonai> usser :)
[20:35] <grawity> infid_: There isn't anything as good as foobar2000, but there are several similarly light ones.
[20:35] <infid_> grawity: i just want something that's as similar to it as there is
[20:35] <xpo0f> larrythelabrat, modprobe -ae
[20:35] <grawity> infid_: I used to use foobar2000 on Wine :)
[20:35] <will1378> gpled. yeah fn f5s not cuttin it anymore...
[20:35] <larrythelabrat> xpo0f? I'm sorry, I don't know what that is...
[20:35] <infid_> grawity:  i mainly want to be able to right click on stuff and choose 'add to playback queue'
[20:35] <usser> Daremonai, sorry its actually -bg option
[20:35] <Daremonai> grawity, I had my own file in .Xdefaults, i just did xrdb -merg ~/.Xdefaults and it worked, thanks :)
[20:36] <xpo0f> larrythelabrat, #modprobe -ae [ type in shell]
[20:36] <ctmjr> !compiz | clarinet
[20:36] <gpled> will1378: when was this working last?
[20:36] <grawity> Daremonai: Usually, your system is set up to automatically load either .Xresources or .Xdefaults -- and I really don't know which should be used.
[20:36] <Tonno> did someone here have AWN on top of the screen?
[20:36] <clarinet> ctmjr: Thanks.
[20:36] <underdog1227> i seem to have a problem:   i update ubuntu to 9.1, but while i was doing this update, i had my external mouse plugged in:  now my touchpad no longer works.  any ideas anyone?
[20:36] <clarinet> ubottu:Thanks.
[20:37] <larrythelabrat> xpo0f: says invalid option -- 'e'
[20:37] <Daremonai> grawity.. ah alright, well i'll do a symlink for .Xresources :P
[20:37] <xpo0f> larrythelabrat, maybe just go to #modprobe -a
[20:37] <will1378> gpled. no clue, not exactly silicon valleys crown jewel anymore. thats why windows got the boot. could be the comp for sure.
[20:37] <larrythelabrat> xpo0f, gives me a usage guide
[20:38] <xpo0f> if not ... just install [ aptitude update && aptitude install wifi-radar wireless-tools .. hope it help
[20:38] <ctmjr> clarinet:: you welcome if you have any questions the people in #compiz are very helpful if their around
[20:38] <xpo0f> larrythelabrat, #man modprobe
[20:38] <xpo0f> or look for #lsmod
[20:38] <gpled> will1378: i would poke around in the bios, and see if there is a setting for it
[20:38] <clarinet> ctmjr:OK.
[20:38] <cankoy> yellowrooster: it's 7.4+some patches (ignore 1:), also check xserver-xorg-core
[20:39] <gpled> underdog1227: i think 9.1 was buggy
[20:39] <osmosis> Im trying to use Empathy for a gmail video call, but it just says connecting, then disconnected right away. Any help
[20:39] <Temujin> do i need to alter something in ubuntu for WOL to work?
[20:39] <underdog1227> gpled: so what should i do?
[20:39] <xpo0f> cankoy, alternatives for X.org ?
[20:39] <gpled> underdog1227: put 9.04 or 9.10 on it
[20:39] <underdog1227> gpled: can i revert back to 9.04
[20:39] <larrythelabrat> xpo0f, I'm sorry what should I be using modprobe for? fixing the wireless or going back to 9.04?
[20:40] <underdog1227> gpled: 9.10 is on it right now
[20:40] <gpled> underdog1227: thought you where saying you had 9.1
[20:40] <xpo0f> larrythelabrat, modprobe for load a module in kernel .. so that u'll have wlan0 interface
[20:40] <will1378> gpled odd thing about that, this toshiba sat 1800 must have had some rapid bios imposed, i cant seem to f1, f12, del into bios. f12 gets me to a boot screen and thats it. just a junky pIII laptop running a ppt on a plasma screen in dads construction companys waiting room
[20:40] <gpled> underdog1227: this a newer laptop?
[20:40] <snowveil> I'm unable to copy files to my mp3 player, it is listed as "read only" when trying to copy files.  The output of 'mount | grep -i sansa' is this:
[20:40] <snowveil> /dev/sdd1 on /media/Sansa e270 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=devkit,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,flush)
[20:41] <underdog1227> gpled: its' the acer aspire one -- i'm running the ubuntu remix version
[20:41] <xpo0f> snowveil, look for nodev options
[20:41] <larrythelabrat> xpo0f, so I want to load the wlan0 module #modprobe wlan0?
[20:41] <gpled> will1378: google around. some times the put strange key combos in. alt s or something
[20:42] <Daremonai> grawity, the merge merges the filename with what file?
[20:42] <gpled> underdog1227: that a netbook?
[20:42] <underdog1227> gpled: yes
[20:42] <will1378> gpled- good call.
[20:42] <grawity> Daremonai: It doesn't -- it just tells X to load the resources from file on top of the currently-in-memory ones.
[20:42] <underdog1227> i seem to have a problem:   i updated ubuntu to 9.1, but while i was doing this update, i had my external mouse plugged in:  now my laptop's built-in touchpad no longer works.  any ideas anyone?
[20:42] <xpo0f> what model ? intel centrino or else?
[20:42] <osmosis> audio calls are working in empathy, but video calls just disconnect
[20:42] <gpled> underdog1227:  think they are working on a distro, just for netbooks. not sure if it is out yet
[20:42] <Daremonai> grawity what happens if i restart?
[20:43] <konstantine> QUESTION: hello! Does anyone know what is the purpose of the <gettext_domain> element in a gconf schema?
[20:43] <gpled> underdog1227: no cdrom drive?
[20:43] <underdog1227> gpled: i have that distro installed
[20:43] <grawity> Daremonai: As I already said, Ubuntu and many other distros are preconfigured to load one of these two files automatically.
[20:43] <underdog1227> i have the ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 installed
[20:43] <Tonno> did someone here have AWN on top of the screen?
[20:43] <Mr-Woof> hi all, quick question regarding compiz on 8.10
[20:43] <Daremonai> grawity.. alright... but i've had the xdefaults before and it wasn't loaded
[20:43] <grawity> Daremonai: "one of these two"
[20:43] <grawity> Daremonai: Not both.
[20:44] <OpticOn> heres some of the log info

[20:44] <Mr-Woof> I've got an ATI card, only just realised tonight one of the updates must of been ATI drivers :)
[20:44] <cJ__> mr-woof just ask
[20:44] <grawity> Daremonai: Oh, and make sure the X is uppercase.
[20:44] <Mr-Woof> So i can finally enable the desktop effects
[20:44] <Mr-Woof> woo
[20:44] <xpo0f> OpticOn, im sure about pam.conf
[20:44] <gpled> underdog1227: i now it is really new distro, may want to check the bug track. bet it has issues
[20:44] <Daremonai> grawity, understood.. so i guess it's the resource one, and yeah, already have it as X
[20:44] <vithos> where in the filesystem are smb shares mounted by nautilus?
[20:44] <grawity> Daremonai: I'm not on Ubuntu now, and don't have GDM or GNOME either. So I don't know which component loads things.
[20:44] <grawity> vithos: ~/.gvfs/
[20:44] <OpticOn> what should i check
[20:44] <vithos> grawity: thanks
[20:44] <Mr-Woof> I've just installed the compizconfig settings manager, i can move the cube about but it's in 2d if that makes any sense
[20:45] <xpo0f> OpticOn, look in /etc/pam.conf or related
[20:45] <gpled> underdog1227: its cool you could make a flash boot drive though :)
[20:45] <Daremonai> grawity, alright.. thanks for the info
[20:45] <cJ__> mr-woof did you enable compiz effects
[20:45] <grawity> vithos: Remember that those are GVFS mounts, a GNOME thing -- not the traditional "mount -t cifs" thing.
[20:45] <slide> I have an HP Laptop running 9.10 and while WIFI works fine, the physica wifi button light is constantly blinking. is there any fix for that?
[20:45] <gpled> underdog1227: i wonder if you can make a live cd boot flash drive and test things
[20:45] <Mr-Woof> CJ,I'm not sure to be honest. Where is it on 8.10?
[20:46] <konstantine> Mr-Woof: you probably have only 2 desktops. Add 2 more to create a3d cube
[20:46] <xpo0f> slide, mean wifi look for burst data network
[20:46] <OpticOn> im looking at it now looks pretty blank
[20:46] <OpticOn> lol
[20:46] <cJ__> system prefs display I think mr-woof. and then it's the last tab
[20:46] <Alan502> Hi! i have installed kde, i want to configure compiz to get the cube effect i have in gnome. How can i do this?
[20:46] <slide> xpo0f, what? lol
[20:46] <Mr-Woof> Konstantine, i think thats it. What's an easy way to create some more desktops?
[20:47] <dani> #iphone-linux
[20:47] <xpo0f> slide, that is normal
[20:47] <Alan502> Hi! i have installed kde, i want to configure compiz to get the cube effect i *had in gnome. How can i do this?
[20:47] <slide> xpo0f, it doesn't happen in windows, can I turn it off? its very distracting
[20:47] <Akuma> Will ubuntu 9.04/9.10 installation automatically detect my lvm volume?
[20:47] <OpticOn> it doesnt appear pam.conf is being used by anything
[20:47] <FCalderon> Hi all
[20:47] <xpo0f> OpticOn, /etc/pam.d ?
[20:48] <snowveil> xpo0f: sorry, I'm not sure what you meant by that
[20:48] <ortsvorsteher> !hello | FCalderon
[20:48] <xpo0f> !hello snowveil
[20:48] <snowveil> xpo0f, where would I check for nodev options?
[20:48] <FCalderon> is it just me or 9.10 KK takes longer to boot even though seems to run faster after it's fully loaded?
[20:48] <guntbert> Mr-Woof: right click on the desktop switcher - preferences
[20:48] <OpticOn> their is a directory called pam.d
[20:48] <konstantine> Mr-Woof: right click on the workspace applet on your bottom panel and set columns to 2
[20:48] <xpo0f> snowveil, look for #man fstab
[20:48] <Mr-Woof> gah, I'm sure I tried that a minute ago :)
[20:49] <Mr-Woof> aha, that works :)
[20:49] <Domitor_Invictus> this not being able to play mp3 files is so frustrating, i tried to download Banshee, and it took way too much time because of slow connection or numerous big files
[20:49] <xpo0f> !
[20:49] <Vhozard> FCalderon Which part takes longer?
[20:49] <snowveil> xpo0f, the device is a removable media, it's not in my fstab
[20:49] <konstantine> Mr-Woof: enjoy your cube!
[20:49] <xpo0f> snowveil, i know but that is an options there ...
[20:49] <Domitor_Invictus> any help available? about codecs or the likes? or any solution concerning playing music and video?
[20:49] <xpo0f> look for #mount also
[20:50] <FCalderon> Vhozard: the entire loading process, before it asks for the login and password
[20:50] <Mr-Woof> ace, cheers that's quite funky
[20:50] <Mr-Woof> thanks for the help
[20:50] <slide> xpo0f, can I turn it off? its very distracting
[20:50] <Mr-Woof> laters
[20:51] <FCalderon> Vhozard: My laptop used to boot in 30-45 seconds, now it takes over a minute before I get the login prompt (forgot how it's called in gnome)
[20:51] <Xubuntus> ibuclaw, Are you using ALC883?
[20:51] <OpticOn> in the pam.d dir is their anything to check for that could be out of place?
[20:51] <xpo0f> slide, not a big deal .. ur options
[20:51] <Vhozard> FCalderon Boot then without the "splash" and "quiet" option and see what takes so long.
[20:51] <Domitor_Invictus> I'm going to try and install VLC and see if it works
[20:51] <xpo0f> OpticOn, in /etc/pam.d ... look for login.pam .. i guess
[20:52] <Domitor_Invictus> it should, because it says here that it can play multimedia without any additional plugins
[20:52] <grawity> xpo0f: Just 'login', without the suffix.
[20:52] <Guest37336> can someone shoot me the helpdoc on doing a network mount to a windows system? i could have sworn the command was "mount -t cifs -o username=username,password=password \\server\share /mnt/point" but i cant make it work
[20:52] <Xubuntus> Anyone with sound working and ALC833 (or the Motherboard MSI-K9VGM-V)?
[20:52] <slide> xpo0f, its VERY distracting, ill just go back to windows if i can turn it off =\
[20:52] <xpo0f> grawity, thanks for update
[20:52] <akorpija> can anybody help me figure out why my screen blanks after 5 minutes when playing videos in VLC ?
[20:52] <Domitor_Invictus> and besdies, everytime i try to install Gstreamer it tells me that it cannot install on my I386 machine
[20:52] <grawity> Guest37336: Try //server/share instead.
[20:52] <Guest37336> grawity: ok, ill give that a shot
[20:53] <xpo0f> slide, just a small things
[20:53] <wiehan> Hi, I clean installed 9.10. I made a backup of evolution using the built in "Backup Settings" option - unfortunately that file it made does not want to restore evolution again. But, I also backed up the home folder, thus I still have the .Evolution folder - Is it safe to just copy that into my new home and will I then have all my contacts, emails, settings etc. back?
[20:53] <Vhozard> FCalderon You can do the by pressing "e" when you are at GRUB.
[20:53] <Guest37336> sweet
[20:53] <Guest37336> taht is what it was
[20:53] <slide> xpo0f, are you saying its a small thing to turn off? or its a small annoyance? b/c its definitely a BIG annoyance
[20:53] <xpo0f> slide, just turn off is annoyance
[20:54] <grawity> Guest37336: In the bash shell (and just about everywhere else), \ is an escape character -- I won't go into much detail, just say that when you type \\server\share, it is translated to "\servershare"
[20:54] <FCalderon> Vhozard: will try it, I was thinking about tuning the kernel to make it slimmer and removing some unused stuff like BT support.
[20:54] <slide> xpo0f, how do i turn it off?
[20:54] <xpo0f> slide, ifconfig wlan0 down
