[19:47] <carlll> it does not pull up it says i havent put the Minecraf.jar file in the lib folder but i just checked and it is
[19:47] <mneptok> abumaia: apt-get was always encouraged by the distro team
[19:48] <jrib> debian docs push aptitude now :/
[19:48] <inveratulo> i thought aptitude kept better logs / etc
[19:48] <ikonia> carlll: how are you launching it, and where have you put the jar file
[19:48] <ikonia> inveratulo: it's personal choice
[19:48] <lfaraone> mneptok: aptitude is the official package manager of Debian, now.
[19:48] <abumaia> I had heard that aptitude was a "sequel" to apt-get, so I wasn't sure which was better to use
[19:49] <carlll> im launching it with the run.bat and i put the jar file in the lib folder
[19:49] <ikonia> carlll: run.bat is a windows batch file
[19:49] <carlll> so what do i do to run it?
[19:49] <abumaia> well, done reinstalling, going down for a reboot, I'll be back if there are futher problems
[19:50] <ikonia> carlll: I don't know, but on their webpage are support and install docs and an irc channel, it may be better to ask them
[19:50] <viano> hijo de puta
[19:50] <carlll> ikonia i asked them but all they said was to reinstall it and i already did
[19:51] <viano> putas
[19:51] <ikonia> carlll: work with them, explain that your running linux, not windows, explain the error
[19:51] <jrib> viano: /join #ubuntu-es     and watch the language...
[19:51] <furythor> Where Open LDAP stores user information and is that recoverable by any means ?
[19:52] <ikonia> furythor: ldap stores it's information in a "database" or directory, that's it's whole purpose
[19:52] <Seveas> furythor, /var/lib/ldap/
[19:52] <Seveas> furythor, and there are recovery tools for its default formats
[19:52] <furythor> I do wonder that what it could have set as default password after install
[19:53] <Seveas> ikonia, (technically: ldap is a directory. The openldap implementation can store the information in a variety of database backends. Historycally that was bdb, but nowadays hdb is prefered)
[19:53] <Seveas> furythor, openldap doesn't set default passwords.
[19:53] <ikonia> Seveas: I did say directory, I was trying to use database to explain to someone who doesn't know what ldap is
[19:54] <knxville> Do you guys know any program for webcams?
[19:54] <ikonia> !webcam | knxville
[19:54] <scootsm> One last question:  Is there an unstable repo for Ubuntu, or something that's fairly cutting edge in the packages it offers?
[19:54] <fredje_chill> no balls, no glory
[19:54] <scootsm> ie, the latest stable builds of XFCE / Gnome / KDE, and other things along those lines
[19:55] <guntbert> !ot | fredje_chill
[19:55] <furythor> then does Open LDAP suit if I want to create access control to my server for various users and groups
[19:55] <ikonia> scootsm: I suggest you stay well away unless you have a genuine need, which basic from the questions you're asking - you don't
[19:55] <Seveas> furythor, yeah
[19:55] <Coachj> how do I edit my smb.conf file
[19:55] <blakkheim> scootsm: debian sid :/
[19:55] <ikonia> furythor: ldap is an excellent authentication model
[19:55] <ikonia> Coachj: any text editor you want
[19:55] <Seveas> furythor, but if it is just one server, don't bother. Use local groups.
[19:55] <Coachj> do i nedd to type sudo?
[19:55] <ikonia> Coachj: yes
[19:55] <Seveas> furythor, ldap is good though if you have more than one server :)
[19:55] <ikonia> Seveas: rule of 10 ?
[19:56] <Seveas> ikonia, rule of 2
[19:56] <ikonia> ooh,
[19:56] <Seveas> (I always use ldap for environments with more than 1 server :)
[19:56] <ikonia> Seveas: lazier than I
[19:56] <ikonia> ;)
[19:56] <Seveas> ikonia, different rule ;)
[19:56] <furythor> Seveas well actually this is something I am interested to learn for future job opportunities since I know there are few possible if I got the "Know how"
[19:56] <ZykoticK9> Coachj, for a GUI edit you could use "gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf"
[19:56] <Seveas> rule of 10 isn't always appropriate though. If you know for sure one server will be enough, don't plan for 2 or more :)
[19:57] <ikonia> Seveas: touche'
[19:57] <Coachj> ill try that
[19:57] <seryl> has anyone gotten pHash to build?
[19:57] <ugliefrog> why does firefox and chrome wig out on flash....is there a fix..or a constant work in progress
[19:57] <Seveas> furythor, then by all means play around with it. ldap definitely is a good thing to know if you want to get a sysadmin job
[19:57] <al__> I've searched the forums and found various WLAN card lists, apparently my wireless card IS supported (Netgear WG311v2) both natively and using ndiswrapper - but lshw and lspci report it as UNCLAIMED - how do I kick the driver into action?
[19:58] <furythor> Yeah, I know that around thousand ppl I know of, I am probably only who really could become sys admin
[19:58] <obiwan_> guys when it talks about a version and it says: 'an older version' it means, a version made after that one, or before? i think it means before but i'm not sure
[19:58] <furythor> most aren't just bothered with this kind of things, but this is driving me little nuts
[19:58] <ikonia> obiwan_: when what talks about it ?
[19:58] <obiwan_> it's a man
[19:59] <obiwan_> i'm having a real hard time understanding it ikonia
[19:59] <ikonia> obiwan_: what's the question ?
[19:59] <ikonia> obiwan_: what's the actual question
[19:59] <ugliefrog> why does firefox and chrome wig out on flash....is there a fix..or a constant work in progress
[19:59] <gandhi_> cause flash is fail
[19:59] <ikonia> ugliefrog: flash is closed source and therefore not always %100 stable with linux components
[20:00] <Coachj> Thank you, that did it
[20:01] <neopsyche> hello all
[20:01] <neopsyche> is there a fix for 9.10 for Huawei e220 modem yet? a simple patch?
[20:02] <ikonia> neopsyche: no
[20:02] <neopsyche> ikonia: its terrible, such a well known device yet it has so many issues with linux
[20:02] <ikonia> neopsyche: it's nothing to do with linux
[20:02] <ikonia> neopsyche: contact the makers
[20:03] <neopsyche> ikonia: I understand that they are trying to make new things work on ubuntu.. but the usb detect system has a conflict with the connection software on ubuntu.. strangely, this seems to work ok on other systems.
[20:03] <neopsyche> well, apparently it was ok in 9.04
[20:03] <alumno> -lrghukjhogerje
[20:03] <furythor> I was following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html#openldap-configuration got to point ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,cn=config -W olcDatabase={1}hdb where it does ask password of which I got no freaking idea
[20:03] <Flare183> alumno: ???
[20:03] <alumno> hola que haces
[20:03] <furythor> could comeone help to clear this or should I just reinstall the server software ?
[20:03] <ikonia> !es | alumno
[20:03] <Flare183> !es | alumno
[20:03] <pmvalente> as anyone knows how to prevent my users to change their password. this is the students account in a notebook, but they always change the password.
[20:03] <obiwan_> ikonia: man rsync says versions before than 3 preserve symlinked dirs in the target host. Then it says --no-implied-dirs avoids creating files as symlinks (the current behaviour of rsync). But it says, if you got an older version, to ensure you send as symlinks (that's supposed to be the default behaviour of older rsyncs) use --no-implied-dirs(what the heck? that is absolutely the opposite you want if you want to send as symlinks)
[20:04] <ikonia> obiwan_: a.) rsync support in #samba b.) older means file before the current
[20:04] <Petronio> ola
[20:04] <ikonia> !es | Petronio
[20:04] <obiwan_> ok ikonia thanks
[20:05] <ikonia> obiwan_: if you have rsynced a file 3 times, then the rsync copies are older than your current, even if they are the same
[20:05] <Guest11862> ooooooolllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[20:05] <stefg> pmvalente: make /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow readonly
[20:05] <seryl> pmvalente: don't give them root/sudo access.. and don't worry about it? Let them change their password.
[20:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> Hello. Anyone need some help.
[20:05] <Slart> pmvalente: there might be something here https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/user-management.html
[20:06] <Flare183> !ask | SpaceGhostC2C
[20:06] <furythor> or should I just reinstall whole server since I got nothing else done yet ?
[20:06] <Flare183> furythor: What's the problem?
[20:06] <obiwan_> ikonia: but it speaks about older versions
[20:06] <obiwan_> ikonia: 'in older versions...'
[20:06] <ikonia> obiwan_: yes, older versions of the file
[20:06] <obiwan_> no, older versions of rsync ikonia
[20:06] <furythor> Flare183: my Open LDAP went wild, it has password of which I got no idea
[20:07] <obiwan_> in that context it means older versions of rsyn
[20:07] <UncleD> The force be with you obiwan.
[20:07] <Flare183> furythor: That's beyond me O.O
[20:07] <UncleD> whois luke
[20:07] <ikonia> obiwan_: ok, so older verions of rsync then
[20:07] <SpaceGhostC2C> Flare183, I don't have a question bro. Thanks for the concern though.
[20:07] <Flare183> SpaceGhostC2C: oh ok
[20:07] <obiwan_> ikonia in that context it means older versions of rsyn and i don't understand if it means versions made after 3.0 (3.x) or before 3.0, (2.x)
[20:07] <ikonia> furythor: just remove your open ldap install
[20:07] <ikonia> furythor: then re-install it
[20:07] <furythor> gotta try that
[20:07] <Slart> pmvalente: this might also be useful http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/disable-passwd-change-for-user-account-218616/
[20:07] <Flare183> pmvalente: its easy to do just run this: sudo usermod -L <username>
[20:08] <Coachj> after editing smb.conf to change the workgroup name do I have to restart the machine?
[20:08] <ikonia> Coachj: no, just samba
[20:08] <Flare183> pmvalente: It locks there password, to where they can't change it
[20:08] <Coachj> ikonia: how do I do that?
[20:08] <cslater> pmvalente - you'll want to do chage -m 100 username
[20:08] <ikonia> Coachj: /etc/init.d/samba restart
[20:08] <ZykoticK9> Coachj, "sudo service samba restart" in a terminal will also work
[20:08] <Coachj> trying
[20:08] <cslater> pmvalente:  that will make the minimum time between password changes 100 days
[20:08] <Coachj> k
[20:09] <Slart> Flare183: are you sure about that one? it doesn't lock the account?
[20:09] <GSF1200S> erUSUL: just so you know, what happened is my backup drive was being autofscked and was unmounted. rsync ran by crontab to backup /home to /media/Backup. Since backup wasnt mounted, it started filling the directory, now /, with crap from /home. So I set crontab to call a script at /home, which calls another script on /media/Backup, so the problem doesnt happen again. Thanks for the help
[20:09] <Flare183> Slart: see the man page dude
[20:09] <srdjan> hi i need instalation package for skype
[20:09] <ikonia> !skype | srdjan
[20:09] <srdjan> can anyone give me all comand to type in gnome-terminal
[20:09] <ikonia> srdjan: read the document just posted to you
[20:10] <erUSUL> GSF1200S: again no problem
[20:10] <mauri> I need to change the root path but i dont know how :linux   /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-19-generic root=UUID=8427388d-977c-4e10-a6e2-5 ro   quiet splash
[20:10] <GSF1200S> :)
[20:10] <Slart> Flare183: I just did =) it seems it's used to lock an account as well.. together with an "expired flag"
[20:10] <ikonia> mauri: look at the "root" linux
[20:10] <Flare183> Slart: Oh... O.O
[20:10] <Flare183> Slart: ahh ok
[20:10] <Slart> Flare183: but just using L will just lock the password
[20:10] <mauri> ikonia: i dont understand sorry
[20:11] <ikonia> mauri: there is normally a root=/blah line
[20:11] <obiwan_> ikonia: np i'm asking at samba, but please could you tell me what means an older version of rsync 3? (2.x or 3.x)?
[20:11] <EmDawg2247> shit
[20:11] <Flare183> !language | EmDawg2247
[20:12] <EmDawg2247> ok
[20:12] <zbiju> hi there
[20:12] <mauri> ikonia: i moved all the directoris (bin,sbin,dev,etc) from root to a directory called Lucid
[20:12] <EmDawg2247> but i'm not 7
[20:12] <ikonia> mauri: errrr why ?
[20:12] <ikonia> mauri: that's going to cause you a LOT of pain
[20:12] <Flare183> EmDawg2247: That doesn't matter, its one of the rules :)
[20:12] <airtonix> EmDawg2247, your point ? vulgarities at any age are not acceptable in this channel
[20:12] <mauri> ikonia: i wrote   root=/dev/sda4/Lucid
[20:12] <ikonia> mauri: you're system is going to fail
[20:12] <EmDawg2247> wat do u mean ikonia
[20:13] <mauri> ikonia: but it doesn work
[20:13] <ikonia> mauri: applications are linked to /lib not /lucid/lib for example
[20:13] <zbiju> i just installed ubuntu server 9.10 but I've got no network there
[20:13] <zbiju> I have dlink dwl 520+ card
[20:13] <EmDawg2247> no i didnt
[20:14] <mauri> ikonia: there is no a way to set a different root starting point? i dont know perhaps is a stupid questions
[20:14] <zbiju> I have no idea what to do to setup a network there
[20:14] <zbiju> can any of you help me ?
[20:14] <EmDawg2247> im still here....i didnt quit
[20:14]  * Flare183 facepalms
[20:14] <ikonia> mauri: no, root needs to be root
[20:14] <mick_laptop> zbiju: what is the question
[20:14] <ikonia> mauri: file systems like /home don't matter, but core things like /lib /dev do matter
[20:14] <gmathews> hey there. I am trying to connect my Kubuntu installed laptop to my sony bravia to play video from it. But i am not too happy, SD video is choppy (xvid rips) and hd as well, esp during fast motion scenes. Can anyone help? Using Lenovo T500, Kubuntu 9.10. I have downloaded kubuntu-restricted-extras and i have tried on VLC too, but same result
[20:14] <mick_laptop> zbiju: can you ping your router/gateway?
[20:14] <zbiju> mick_laptop: how to install and configure dlink dwl 520+ card on ubuntu server
[20:15] <Kohar> hey guys need advice at home pc have 2 hhd (sda and sdb) sda have win7 installed and i install ubuntu 9.10 on sdb, after reboot, when i must get grub menu pc just reboot, reinstall grub from live-cd didn't help
[20:15] <mick_laptop> ah so you have installed ubuntu and you want to add a card afterwards
[20:15] <AJH101> hi - has anyone tried WattOS please?
[20:15] <zbiju> mick_laptop: network is unreachable, card was not recognized during install
[20:15] <Slart> gmathews: if you download these videos locally to the laptop do they play alright?
[20:15] <Slart> AJH101: this channel.. #ubuntu.. for Ubuntu only
[20:15] <EmDawg2247> so wat are we suppose to do in #ubuntu channel?
[20:15] <Flare183> !ot | AJH101
[20:16] <jeremy> i
[20:16] <mauri> ikonia: there is no way to set /dev/sda4/Lucid as it be a root....?
[20:16] <ikonia> EmDawg2247: it's a support channel
[20:16] <mick_laptop> zbiju: no idea. do they have a linux driver for the card? (dlink)
[20:16] <ikonia> EmDawg2247: ubuntu support disucssion only
[20:16] <EmDawg2247> oh
[20:16] <jeremy> cant get my at symbol to work
[20:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> EmDawg2247, try /topic
[20:16] <mick_laptop> zbiju: for these types of questions, google might be better than irc
[20:16] <ikonia> mauri: you can set that - but your system won't work
[20:16] <EmDawg2247> i came here for nothing i guess
[20:16] <gmathews> Slart: the choppy video on my laptop screen is less noticeable due to the small screen, but when i blow it up on the Sony 40 inch..its pretty obvious ;( I am dual booting and Windows video plays fine ;/
[20:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> EmDawg2247, you can join #ubuntu-offtopic
[20:17] <zbiju> mick_laptop: I guess, ftp://ftp.dlink.pl/dwl/dwl-520/driver_software/
[20:17] <Guest418> i cant get my at symbol to work......any suggestions
[20:17] <BluesKaj> zbiju, USB adapter wifi ?
[20:17] <mick_laptop> zbiju: they usually have detailed install info there
[20:17] <zbiju> BluesKaj: nope, PCI
[20:18] <Slart> gmathews: ahh.. sorry.. I misunderstood you.. now I see what you're doing.. What version of ubuntu are you running? what graphics card is your laptop using?
[20:18] <zbiju> mick_laptop: it looks like windows drivers :/
[20:18] <gmathews> Slart: Kubuntu 9.10. got a Mobile Intel graphics card..
[20:18] <Guest418> 222
[20:18] <mick_laptop> gmathews: might be a number of things. try another graphic driver. what are you using to play? (ex: if it is mplayer, what -vo do you have set etc)
[20:18] <Guest418> but no shift 222
[20:19] <gmathews> mick_laptop: okay that looks like greek ahahha..hmm how can i try another graphics driver for the mobile intel card?
[20:19] <Slart> gmathews: there were some problems with intel graphics cards.. but that was in 9.04 so I think they've fixed it
[20:19] <BluesKaj> zbiju, have you tried network manager?
[20:19] <gmathews> Slart: are u using Ubuntu to play videos fine?
[20:19] <zbiju> BluesKaj: it's ubuntu server , no gui stuff there
[20:20] <Tetracomm> I personally want to thank all of the members of the Ubuntu community to integrate Creative ZEN support into 9.10 so that it can be mounted as a drive automatically. :)
[20:20] <mats> i have to ask, is there any place to get help in swedish with my internet connection and wicd with ubuntu.
[20:20] <mick_laptop> i haven't seen a nic not work on a standard linux install for over 10 years (minus wifi cards and usb cards)
[20:20] <furythor> Well I will look into that server more tomorrow
[20:20] <Pici> !se | mats
[20:20] <Tetracomm> who integrated*
[20:20] <Slart> gmathews: sure.. I can play most videos just fine.. but I have a nvidia card and a quad core cpu =)
[20:20] <mick_laptop> gmathews: is this a netbook?
[20:20] <mick_laptop> out of curiousity
[20:21] <mick_laptop> my netbook had issues like that
[20:21] <gmathews> Slart: hahah nice one :P
[20:21] <Slart> gmathews: don't really know of any quick fixes for intel graphics cards.. sorry
[20:21] <gmathews> mick_laptop: nope..its a laptop.. T500 lenovo
[20:21] <BluesKaj> zbiju, so you're using /etc/network/interfaces ?
[20:21] <seryl> Anyone know why I'd be getting this error? https://gist.github.com/54674aed2494337977d9
[20:21] <mats> Pici, cant write there, says "cannot send to channel"
[20:21] <seryl> My guess is it's not importing cimg properly..?
[20:22] <gmathews> Slart: no worries mate :)
[20:22] <Pici> mats: You'll need to register and identify first
[20:22] <Pici> !register | mats
[20:22] <mick_laptop> gmathews: have you seen this: http://www.linlap.com/wiki/lenovo+thinkpad+t500
[20:22] <zbiju> BluesKaj: I have just lo there
[20:23] <mauri> esdaniel: so it is not possibile to have 2 distro in the same partition...right?'
[20:23] <resno> wheres the conf/config.inc.php file?
[20:23] <erUSUL> mauri: no; you can not.
[20:23] <gmathews> mick_laptop: checking now
[20:23] <zevbee> mauri: you can use virtualbox
[20:24] <unop> erUSUL, mauri - you can have two distros on the same partition - just as long as they don't share the same root i.e. you can chroot one
[20:24] <knxville> Do anyone know how to make my webcam picture not upside down?
[20:24] <mick_laptop> mauri: technically it can be done w/ various hacks (but for the average user, no you can't). there are only a few reasons why you might want that (and if you don't know the reasons, you don't need them)
[20:25] <mick_laptop> knxville: turn your webcam around
[20:25] <mick_laptop> 180 degrees
[20:25] <Coachj> very easy to share files with smb and ubuntu :)
[20:25] <mauri> unop: mick_laptop I supposed that it should be driven by grub....
[20:25] <knxville> mick_laptop, its on a laptop.. ;)
[20:26] <al__> I've installed ndiswrapper and downloaded and unzipped the netgear wg311v2 windows driver, but there's no .ini file, how can I install this driver?
[20:26] <unop> mauri, for the sakes of simplicity - i'd advise you to use different partitions for the different distros
[20:26] <blakkheim> al__: if there's no ini file, you probably can't
[20:26] <mick_laptop> mauri: nope, like i said - if you don;t know the reason - think of it like you can't do it. just partition that partition into two (or use virtualization)
[20:27]  * mick_laptop hands knxville a screwdriver
[20:27] <Guest14502> was wondering if someone might be able to help me...  i got an alfa AWUS036H wireless adapter for my laptop so I could use my brother "lives across me" wireless internet "open" and I can connect showing 60=% but it doesn't load any webpages
[20:27] <mick_laptop> knxville: what app are you using? or does everything look upside down?
[20:27] <mats> Pici, Thanks
[20:27] <mick_laptop> there might be a filter
[20:27] <Guest14502> I was able to connect to a few other signals but only the first site would load and the rest wouldn't
[20:27] <mick_laptop> or (i've seen this once) a horribly hooked up webcam
[20:28] <al__> blakkheim, ugh, that's a pain - the ACX111 linux driver apparently doesn't support WPA
[20:28] <Guest14502> i'm using a 2.4ghz 9dBi antenna also
[20:29] <knxville> mick_laptop, no app.. java
[20:29] <ZlNG> any help would be great :D
[20:29] <zilkomaa> Whats the newest kernel ?
[20:29] <ZlNG> trust me i've googled for 2 hours and tried a few things but still no luck
[20:29] <HappyHobo> I have no sound.  I even tried an ancient shell script alsaconf and still nothing.  I hate to reinstall just because I have no sound.
[20:30] <besogon> Someone please look at it http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=588. What do you say to working my power supply?
[20:30] <zbiju> what should I do if I don't have /lib/modules/XYZ/build folder ?
[20:30] <al__> is there a way to use the ACX111 driver and add WPA support, or must it be part of the driver?
[20:31] <wam> Hi, I have a problem with copying, reading and writing large files at once. Whenever I do this, my box freezes (nearly) due to heavy disk-io. Everything works as long as disk-buffers are available. But as soon as buffers are full, most processes stop working. This happens on my local boxes and even on my big 8-core server with a netapp san in the back. I'm looking for documents to read about that problem and for mount options or other hints...
[20:32] <besogon> Someone please look at it http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=588. What do you say to working my power supply?
[20:32] <mauri> unop: ok if i  moved one distribution under a directory and using chroot, is it possibile?
[20:33] <unop> mauri, errm, how was this distro installed?
[20:33] <Flare183> !repeat | besogon
[20:34] <wam> My problem is I don't even find good words to google for.
[20:34] <HappyHobo> I HAVE NO SOUND.  Can you hear me now?
[20:34] <mauri> unop: ok let me explain....I installed distro on a partition and after a moved all under a directory Lucid
[20:35] <Wind0pain> any ideas why i can not change the # of desktops in compiz config manager w/ ubuntu 9.10?
[20:35] <Wind0pain> i can adust horizontal and vertcail virtual sizes, but not the # of desktops
[20:35] <mauri> unop: in this partitions now there is only Lucid directory that contains the distro
[20:35] <mauri> unop: I tried to changed root directory in grub but it was not enought
[20:35] <soreau> Wind0pain: You always want the number of desktops to be 1
[20:36] <besogon> Flare183: Don't nag me. It would be better to answer.
[20:36] <ZykoticK9> Wind0pain, right click the switcher in the Gnome Panel and goto preferences - number of desktop should be changable there (Columns)
[20:36] <mauri> unop: im not an expert but i supposed that
[20:36] <guntbert> HappyHobo: we hear you - no need to shout
[20:36] <Flare183> !attitude | besogon
[20:36] <soreau> Wind0pain: None of the compiz plugins use desktops since compiz uses a single desktop at its core it divides into viewports that are your workspaces
[20:36] <mauri> unop: redefined what the root is...like /lucid... it should worked
[20:37] <sebsebseb> !lucid | mauri
[20:37] <guntbert> besogon: and if you ask your question in the channel you will get a greater audience
[20:37] <Wind0pain> soreau: ahh
[20:37] <mauri> sebsebseb: im refering to a generic distro..it is not a lucid problem
[20:38] <HappyHobo> guntbert I've modprobed but don't know how to remove and replace a mod.  alsaconf found two cards on my computer but there is no longer a command called update-modules that that script requires.
[20:38] <colombian> Hey all, I'm looking for the best way to change my username in my Ubuntu account
[20:38] <Wind0pain> how do i display the desktop cube w/ compiz then?
[20:38] <erUSUL> !ccsm | Wind0pain
[20:38] <colombian> I've seen some forum posts but they all say there may be some shortcuts etc.. that are left not working
[20:38] <alienkid10> I want to make a Persistent LiveCD what file do I edit on the iso to add persistence as a menu item? Also can I install propriety drivers in A persistent session?
[20:39] <guntbert> HappyHobo: why do you ask me? I only said we can hear you :)
[20:39] <myk_robinson> i need to make an xorg.conf file in Ubuntu 9.10 to set some options for my touchpad to show up. My question, can my xorg.conf file contain nothing but hte touchpad entries, as I do not want to F up anything else in the process.  Thanks
[20:39] <unop> mauri,  when you use a chroot you usually run that distro within another - i suppose you could apply the same principle for grub, but it requires too much work - you need to change a lot of files around to point to new directory locations e.g. to point to /lucid/var instead of /var  -- i think you should just create a new partiton and use that instead.
[20:39] <HappyHobo> because no one else is paying attention guntbert
[20:39] <Wind0pain> erUSUL: i have that installed; on the ccsm page for the cube, there are three shortcut keys.. unfold, next slid, and prev slide... not one to display it though
[20:39] <alienkid10> anyone know?
[20:40] <ZykoticK9> alienkid10, typically Persistent installs use USB drivers -- you understand that a persistent CD would need some sort of HD storage.
[20:40] <soreau> Wind0pain: I would recommend you install simple-ccsm and use the Custom radio button so the settings in ccsm will be saved. If you need more help, please come to #compiz
[20:40] <Wind0pain> soreau: thank you
[20:40] <alienkid10> ZykoticK9: I am the casper-rw on a USB drive
[20:40] <erUSUL> Wind0pain: do you have four workspaces ? crtl + alt + ← → works here for me
[20:40] <guntbert> HappyHobo: don't assume we ignore you - whoever *has* an answer will provide it
[20:40] <mauri> unop: ok tnk
[20:40] <alienkid10> I want to add a menu entre to the CD instead of adding persistent everytime
[20:40] <p0a> Hello how can I raise the audio sound?
[20:41] <HappyHobo> p0a: are you sure you have sound?
[20:41] <erUSUL> p0a: use the pavucontrol or alsamixer
[20:41] <p0a> I have the hardware volume 100% but it's much less loud than windows
[20:41] <HappyHobo> At least you have sound p0a.
[20:42] <colombian> Hey guys, what's the best way of changing my Ubuntu account name, and ensuring all shortcuts and files are left working properly?
[20:42] <p0a> I guess the problem that brought you here HappyHobo is lack of sound?
[20:42] <HappyHobo> yes p0a
[20:42] <HappyHobo> no one has an answer so far
[20:42] <ZykoticK9> p0a, have you increated the Output Volume in Sound Prefernces?
[20:42] <alienkid10> ZykoticK9: I have the casper-rw on a USB drive. Should I install things like display drivers when in persistent?
[20:42] <p0a> colombian, change username, link ~/old to ~/new
[20:43] <colombian> p0a: Isn't that bad form?
[20:43] <ZykoticK9> alienkid10, i don't know man - i've only ever used the USB creator to create persistent USB keys - no idea how to do it manually
[20:43] <p0a> colombian, it's a solution
[20:43] <alienkid10> I am booting off a CD
[20:43] <HappyHobo> p0a: I even used alsaconf an ancient script and that didn't work.
[20:43] <usuario_> holas
[20:43] <alienkid10> wiht a partition on the flash drive as casper-rw
[20:43] <alienkid10> with*

[20:44] <p0a> ZykoticK9, where is Sound Preferences?

[20:44] <Kentrel> Hi, can someone identify the error here...
[20:44] <Kentrel> sudo mkdir /media/"$"
[20:44] <myk_robinson> in Ubuntu Karmic, how can I load the "synaptics" touchpad module? sudo modprobe synaptics says the module is not found, but the driver seems to be present in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/synaptics_drv.so
[20:44] <Kentrel> This command in a script just creates a directory called $
[20:44] <HappyHobo> ZykoticK9: can you help me fix my sound?
[20:45] <Kentrel> How do I get it to create the directory that was passed to it as a parameter?
[20:45] <erUSUL> Kentrel: what do you expect it to do ?
[20:45] <Kentrel> erUSUL, I right click an iso file and its supposed to create a directory in /media with the name of that iso
[20:45] <erUSUL> Kentrel: how did you passed the parameter
[20:45] <Kentrel> Its passed in a nautilus script
[20:45] <Kentrel> I can pastebin the script if it will help
[20:45] <erUSUL> Kentrel: maybe it is $1 and not jus $
[20:45] <Kentrel> Hmm, maybe
[20:46] <ZykoticK9> HappyHobo, sorry man i'm not really a sound-guy - and your two card thing is certainly beyond my expertise
[20:46] <erUSUL> Kentrel: $1 is the first parameter passed to a script
[20:46] <Kentrel> ok
[20:46] <erUSUL> Kentrel: or maybe nautilus scripts have specialnames for parameters
[20:46] <macman_>  question .. i use dvdauthor a lot right .. i use it with the -T optoin ... what is a good console / linux app i can use to make menus/chapters from an mpg
[20:46] <Sh3r1ff> Kentrel: and $0 is the command itself
[20:46] <Wind0pain> erUSUL: ahh ctrl+alt+ </> works... i was looking for a way to do it with the mouse so i could hold it open
[20:46] <alienkid10> let me rephrase my question: I have a casper-rw partition on a USB drive. I am going to use a CD to boot with persistence enabled. I want to know 2 things 1. what file on the CD contains the menu options when booting the CD and 2. should I install things like display drivers?
[20:47] <erUSUL> Wind0pain: well i have it configured to super + crtl + drag mouse
[20:49] <alienkid10> anyone?

[20:51] <LeadCold> Any way to upgrade from Feisty to Karmic directly without a clean install? No installer supports my environment

[20:53] <LeadCold> Yes, EOL it is
[20:54] <HappyHobo1> Can anyone help me?  My computer is quiet, it has no sound.

[20:55] <MindVirus> Does anyone know how to install Skype 64-bit? I can't find it in Medibuntu.
[20:55] <MartinBoecken> Ubuntu will not let me install PHP, Apache, MYSQL. what do I do?
[20:55] <guntbert> LeadCold: it is a several steps process in any case
[20:55] <guntbert> !lamp | MartinBoecken
[20:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> MartinBoecken, we need some sort of error, or whatever you can give us. Just saying, it's broke doesn't help much, I'm afraid.
[20:56] <MindVirus> MartinBoecken: My best advice is to be less descriptive.
[20:56] <LeadCold> I believe a clean install will be easier for me
[20:56] <BluesKaj> MindVirus, go to the skype site and download the static version , it works on 64 bit
[20:56] <MindVirus> BluesKaj: Anything in any repository?
[20:56] <HappyHobo1> I thought Ubuntu was ready for the mainstream but you upgrade 9.10 to the latet of 9.10 you lose your sound
[20:56] <guntbert> MindVirus: when helping be helpful please
[20:56] <BluesKaj> MindVirus, dunno
[20:56] <MartinBoecken> E: cloudn't find package apache 2
[20:56] <MindVirus> guntbert: Sarcasm works.
[20:56] <MartinBoecken> that is the error i get
[20:57] <marlen> hello
[20:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> MartinBoecken, what command did you use?
[20:57] <Sh3r1ff> MartinBoecken: apache2 in one word ;)
[20:57] <guntbert> MindVirus: not here - definitely no good attitude
[20:57] <MindVirus> guntbert: Thanks for your advice.  I'll clean install. Consider it resolved. Cheers
[20:58] <sebsebseb> MindVirus: You need a later Live CD really
[20:58] <BluesKaj> guntbert, what's the problem ?, MindVirus is the one asking for help
[20:58] <MindVirus> HappyHobo1: You will get banned.
[20:58] <seanbrystone> such violence
[20:58] <Ganang> hi i  have a web application, and i moved it from windows to linux . I just notice now, that the images wouldnt load, and i need relative path.

[20:58] <MindVirus> BluesKaj: I also responded with a snarky comment to someone else.
[20:58] <MindVirus> It's OK.
[20:58] <guntbert> MindVirus: remember there are many people who don't have english as first language - they might not understand
[20:58] <marlen> I need help, please!
[20:59] <Ganang> marlen: what is your problem?
[20:59] <guntbert> BluesKaj: nothing to do with your help for him :)

[20:59] <e2rd> is there any way to change login screen ?
[21:00] <marlen> panels of control disappeared in my xubuntu, I don't know what to do:
[21:00] <BluesKaj> wow , your baby sitting is a bit much there guntbert
[21:00] <MindVirus> guntbert: But it is fine. I'll stop being snarky.
[21:00] <sebsebseb> ah I messaged MindVirus  by mistake.   melfy  you need a later Live CD really
[21:00] <VCoolio> e2rd: if you're talking karmic, then not by default, but look at gdm2setup on launchpad.net
[21:00] <guntbert> MindVirus: I'll drop that now - it wasn't *that* big an issue anyway - have a nice time :)
[21:00] <melfy> oh :(
[21:00] <MindVirus> BluesKaj: It's fine. His intentions are pure.
[21:00] <e2rd> ok, thx!
[21:00] <melfy> thanks!

[21:05] <busfahrer> Excuse me, I plan on dual booting Linux and WinXP. I setup an extended Partition in WinXP, however it's of the Type W95 Ext. and Linux doesn't seem to like it. If I use fdisk in Linux to manually setup a "real" extended partition, will I be able to create WinXP logical drives in there as well?
[21:06] <erUSUL> busfahrer:  W95 Ext is fine; linux should have no problem with it

[21:07] <iceroot> olympus: ctrl + alt +f1 for cli, ctrl + alt + f7 for gui
[21:07] <guntbert> Kentrel: try <ctrl><alt>F2
[21:07] <marlen> It tells me: no process found.
[21:07] <busfahrer> erUSUL: fdisk told me I can't create another partition
[21:07] <erUSUL> Kentrel: work in a x-terminal like gnemoe terminal
[21:07] <olympus> iceroot: thanks a lot, exactly what I was looking for.
[21:07] <Kentrel> guntbert, that just restarts X... not trying it again lol
[21:07] <MartinBoecken> I type "sudo apt-get install apache2" and then i get a message saying "E: cloudn't find package apache 2" What can i do?
[21:07] <erUSUL> busfahrer: how may partitions do you have? and what type?
[21:08] <darolu> Kentrel: ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X; and that combination is disabled by default now

[21:10] <Siria_Calv> How do I configure a linux autorun config file such as is used for CD's DVD's and flash drives?
[21:11] <marlen> no, xubuntu.
[21:11] <MartinBoecken> i will, but cant rite now, my ubuntu somehow does not connect to the internet rite now
[21:11] <busfahrer> erUSUL: Oh hmm I think the containing partition is too small. My bad. Thanks for your input!
[21:11] <Kentrel> guntbert, well, it would be nice if I forget to launch something from an x terminal, so I can see what errors its producing
[21:11] <erUSUL> Siria_Calv: there is no such thing in linux. linux does not run thing automatically from a random media
[21:11] <erUSUL> busfahrer: no problem
[21:12] <guntbert> Kentrel: you get the stdout in every terminal
[21:12] <Siria_Calv> erUSUL: You are wrong. Linux DOES support autorun on external media. At least red-Hat and Ubuntu version do anyway.
[21:13] <knxville> Is there some conf file where I can edit to my cam does not show me up side down?
[21:13] <Myrtti> Siria_Calv: in Ubuntu?
[21:14] <darolu> knxville: it depends on the app you are using
[21:14] <marlen> well, my problem is: I was using vista, then I turned in xubuntu two hours ago and when I was in xubuntu the panels disappeared.... I don't know what to do now... (sory for my english!)
[21:14] <Siria_Calv> Myrtti: Yes, ubuntu does support autorun on external media. However All linux's autorun config on external media is different then windows
[21:14] <xangua> marlen: xfce4-panel
[21:14] <erUSUL> Siria_Calv: they run an aplication that is installed in the system (banshee; nautilus; cd burning softeware etc) but it does not run an executable from the cdrom like the autorun files do
[21:14] <xangua> in terminal or launcher
[21:14] <Siria_Calv> erUSUL: Yes it does

[21:20] <Slart> DavidJHeinrich: basically you do     !info <somepackagename>     and it will tell you a little about that package.. the linux-image-generic package is the package with the kernel.. the version of that package matches the kernel version
[21:20] <Slart> DavidJHeinrich: that only works here in this irc-channel though
[21:20] <DavidJHeinrich> !info
[21:20] <DavidJHeinrich> ?
[21:20] <titan_ark> go to synaptic and check for what all alsa stuff is installed
[21:21] <Slart> DavidJHeinrich: ok .. nevermind that stuff.. 9.10 uses kernel 2.6.31 and 9.04 uses 2.6.28
[21:22] <marlen> you told me xfce-panel.what have I to do with this information? I,m a beginner..
[21:22] <Siria_Calv> Does anybody know how to configure a linux autorun file?
[21:22] <DavidJHeinrich> ok, what I need is the STX driver for my sound-card
[21:22] <DavidJHeinrich> on the asus forums, someone said, "The STX driver is part of ALSA 1.0.20 or kernel 2.6.30 (not yet released); just wait until your distribution picks it up."
[21:22] <razorx> do we got a busybox guru in the chan?
[21:23] <becomingGuru> Hi... I want to restrict some one, access to one sub folder alone...
[21:23] <titan_ark> HappyHobo1, anything?
[21:23] <becomingGuru> I know, it should be fairly trivial...
[21:23] <DavidJHeinrich> so do I need to upgrade to Ubuntu 9.10 to get the Asus Xonar STX sound-card to work then?
[21:23] <becomingGuru> How do I do it?

[21:25] <titan_ark> HappyHobo1, i am not sure if that is the problem, but you could try. alternately also check in Applications >ubuntu software center installed software tab and check for alsa mixer and alsa mixer gui
[21:25] <HappyHobo1> I just realized I have my repositories turned to lucid titan_ark so now I will have all my alsa stuff from lucid and I'm running karmic

[21:27] <doug_> I just did an upgrade on a ubuntu-server-9.10 system and it appears that mysql-server is not hosed.  As a result, I can't use apt-get or aptitude any longer since they require stopping, the restarting mysql-server, and part of the script that uses dpkg --configure fails, and hence, apt-get and aptitude fails.
[21:27] <HappyHobo1> I switched to lucid last night to get the 2.6.32 kernel
[21:27] <HappyHobo1> they are all on 0 now titan_ark
[21:27] <WhyNot> after starting the network service in bt4, i start wicd network manager, when i try to connect to a wireless device it say this connection requires encryption to be enabled. but how do i do it?
[21:27] <Siria_Calv> Does anybody here know how to configure a linux autorun file for external media?
[21:27] <doug_> Anyone know how to fix this?  I've tried using dpkg -i to reinstall mysql-server-5.1, but that hasn't helped.
[21:27] <guntbert> HappyHobo1: you cannot go back
[21:28] <titan_ark> HappyHobo1, ok. i have not tried lucid. dint okay then use the left right cursor keys to go to an option and then use the up arrow key to increase it
[21:28] <titan_ark> HappyHobo1, you would have to do it for mater, headphone and PCM
[21:28] <HappyHobo1> OH MY GOD it's playing
[21:28] <titan_ark> HappyHobo1,  and yes for the last option of speaker also
[21:28] <HappyHobo1> and this song sucks

[21:34] <titan_ark> HappyHobo1, :D nice. i did not want to get too adventurous by taking the lucid kernel

[21:34] <HappyHobo1> this one is very linux friendly other than it's wireless card
[21:35] <titan_ark> HappyHobo1, karmic is fast enough and trouble free so i can wait for the official release ;)

[21:36] <Siria_Calv> Any idea how to get a restricted driver from the Ubuntu 9.10 cd to work on Xubuntu 9.10? My laptop requires a restricted driver that only the Ubuntu desktop variation of 9.10 has on the CD.
[21:37] <erUSUL> lucas71: tried right clicking on the folder. choosing sharing options ? in both computers?
[21:37] <BluesKaj> kymara, format the drive
[21:37] <kymara> yes BluesKaj may you please show me a guide so i can follow it? Maybe i need a hint also what something to format it to?
[21:37] <lucas71> erUSUL, yes I tried, but only on one this trick is working :(
[21:37] <DJ> I need help
[21:37] <HappyHobo1> I want a netbook but no one will let me test drive one titan_ark.  I want to know if I can get comfortable with it here in lap.

[21:38] <DJ> Help me!!!!
[21:38] <Siria_Calv> All you have to do to turn an Ubuntu flash drive version of the Live CD into a regular flash drive again is delete all of the live cd files. There is a linux hidden fold of the exact file name .disk that you also have to delete.
[21:38] <kymara> ok thanks Siria_Calv !

[21:41] <Siria_Calv> kymara: *format-drive*
[21:41] <darolu> lucas71: are you replying to a bot?

[21:41] <Kohar> lucas71 then run smbd?
[21:41] <knxville> darolu, that sucks :(
[21:42] <titan_ark> HappyHobo1, i would suggest installing alsamixer gui also if you want your recording settings etc easily

[21:42] <kymara> ok thanks Siria_Calv and BluesKaj !

[21:42] <Siria_Calv> kymara: your very welcome
[21:42] <HappyHobo1> I like the volume knob
[21:42] <kymara> oh but sorry i am still not sure what kind of file system i want?

[21:43] <kymara> i know that ntfs exists and fat32 and ext something but i forget what is the one ubuntu uses sorry
 sudo /etc/init.d/samba start
[21:43] <Siria_Calv> For some reason the master channel in volume control does not affect the volume at all.
[21:43] <darolu> lucas71: have you installed system-config-samba?
[21:43] <titan_ark> kymara, i think ot would be ext3 or 4
[21:44] <Siria_Calv> Never has on my laptop in Ubuntu
[21:44] <Fendaril> guys
[21:44] <Fendaril> im soooo excited

[21:44] <Fendaril> took quicker then the 4-6 weeks suggested
[21:45] <lucas71> darolu, no, I haven't
[21:45] <Fendaril> and actually installs on my PC
[21:45] <Fendaril> wooot
[21:46] <darolu> lucas71: open synaptic and install it; it will help you to configure samba easier, or open a terminal and do: sudo apt-getinstall system-config-samba

[22:08] <jp--> erUSUL, ouch.
[22:08] <GhostWolf> well iceroot i did asking if anyone here uses msn
[22:08] <GhostWolf> i mean asmn
[22:08] <GhostWolf> on ubuntu
[22:08] <SpaceGhostC2C> iceroot, the only thing he did wrong was caps. I'm assuming he was using some odd client that allowed colouring and then he was impatient. Be more specific when telling users to stop something, thanks.
[22:08] <iceroot> !anyone | GhostWolf
[22:08] <GhostWolf> iceroot im not dumb i know what anyone means
[22:08] <DIL> uh oh
[22:08] <mikobuntu> ok :0
[22:09] <iceroot> GhostWolf: what about asking the real question?
[22:09] <David_hII> after a fresh install to ubuntu 9.10 from opensuse i cannot achieve a screen resolution of 1024x768 can anyone help me out?
[22:09] <erUSUL> jp--: if you really need the new libc upgrade to the new version of the distribution
[22:09] <GhostWolf> i rather find out who uses amsn first thats a real question if you don't think so then i don't know what to tell you
[22:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> !best GhostWolf
[22:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> !best | GhostWolf
[22:10] <GhostWolf> best?
[22:10] <Seveas> GhostWolf, yes, people use amsn. Now ask the real question...
[22:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> GhostWolf, go ask the bots what people use.
[22:10] <rainy-day> version 9.10, no sound in flash!
[22:10] <iceroot> GhostWolf: please ask you amsn related question, if anyone knows the answer.. (what ubottu told)
[22:11] <HaPK> I'm having a bit of a problem... no sound is coming out, and I'm sure it did came out earlier... how do I fix this?. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10
[22:11] <GhostWolf> reason i asking if people use it so i can ask them personally without people not using it sheesh tough crowed in here atm..
[22:11] <DIL> dude!!
[22:11] <iceroot> GhostWolf: i know Myrtti will tell me something... but can you stop trolling?
[22:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> GhostWolf, if you need help, just say your question bro. It's how it works. It's created more chatter to ask.
[22:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> iceroot, to ask a troll not to troll is feeding the troll.
[22:12] <Myrtti> GhostWolf: just ask your question.
[22:12] <GhostWolf> Myrtti, im trying to, just trying to find the right wording for it..
[22:12] <rainy-day> I had sound working fine, then it started disappearing sometimes that required quitting firefox, killing the process from command line, and now even that doesn't help. I have stock flash installed with ubuntu
[22:12] <Myrtti> brilliant! back to normal programming!
[22:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> GhostWolf, gather your thoughts and form the question, and then ask us. We'll do our best to help you.
[22:13] <Seveas> Myrtti, news at 11.
[22:13] <GhostWolf> my question is this, whenever someone adds me or i add them on amsn, i see a x inside a circle next to their nick if you need me to post a printscreen to show what i mean i can
[22:13] <Soul_Sample> where does gnome store settings? i would like to kill any modifications i have done to it, what should i delete?
[22:14] <[1]timaaarrreee> hi all
[22:14] <erUSUL> Soul_Sample: ~/.gnome*/* and some apps in ~/.config/
[22:14] <Seveas> GhostWolf, yeah, please do that
[22:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> GhostWolf, a picture would be nice.
[22:14] <GhostWolf> ok i'll put a printscreen
[22:14] <DIL> !pastebin
[22:15] <Soul_Sample> erUSUL: thnx
[22:15] <Nibz> Hello
[22:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hi | Nibz
[22:15] <Nibz> I need help
[22:15] <Seveas> hellp Nibz. what can we do to you?
[22:15] <[1]timaaarrreee> does anyone know python programming?
[22:15] <Seveas> [1]timaaarrreee, yeah, probably someone does.
[22:16] <iceroot> [1]timaaarrreee: #python
[22:16] <Nibz> This is very frustrating and I have caped my bathwith doing so
[22:16] <erUSUL> [1]timaaarrreee: ##python does
[22:16] <[1]timaaarrreee> the cahnnel seems to not be talking
[22:16] <GhostWolf> ok i got the image would i just put it on pastebin?
[22:16] <Nibz> I have downloaded and installed ubuntu with wubi I updated it and now grub is having some problems
[22:16] <Seveas> GhostWolf, anywhere where we can see it will do :)
[22:16] <erUSUL> !imagebin | GhostWolf
[22:16] <Nibz> I have spent the last 6 hours trying to figure this out
[22:17] <erUSUL> Nibz: we havent' heard of the actual problem
[22:17] <Nibz> ubuntu wont load
[22:17] <Nibz> after update
[22:17] <GhostWolf> i know how to do screenshots lol again im not dumb i just trying to figure the best way to show it here
[22:17] <erUSUL> !details | Nibz
[22:18] <erUSUL> GhostWolf: you missed the url part of the factoid ----- >>>>> http://tinyurl.com/imagebin
[22:18] <GhostWolf> ok..
[22:19] <Nibz> After downloading and installing ubuntu 9.1 I updated rebooted, Grub came up with its promot and will not load ubuntu
[22:19] <[1]timaaarrreee> hmm
[22:19] <iceroot> Nibz: what about error-codes?
[22:19] <erUSUL> Nibz: yiou end up in some sort of minimal shell ? busybox ?
[22:19] <Nibz> yeah
[22:19] <Nibz> busybox
[22:19] <Nibz> droped my shell
[22:20] <edbian> What's a good movie player for KDE besides kaffiene??
[22:20] <erUSUL> Nibz: iceroot asked already any menaingfull message?
[22:20] <iceroot> edbian: vlc
[22:20] <Nibz> says canot find roo.disk I tryed sda1 and sda2 my patrion is on drive 2
[22:20] <erUSUL> Nibz: is a wubi install ....
[22:20] <Nibz> Yes
[22:20] <erUSUL> ?
[22:20] <Malmis> hm does someone know if there is possible to pxe boot ie. debian live cd or ubuntu live cd as persistent when booting it from a nfs server? i mean, how could i access ie. casper-rw persistant filesystem when the livecd is mounted as cdrom? :/
[22:21] <Nibz> I installed with qubi
[22:21] <erUSUL> Nibz: and the file is still in the windows drive?
[22:21] <Nibz> qubi
[22:21] <Nibz> Yes
[22:21] <Nibz> the files are all there
[22:21] <Malmis> i can boot it as a live cd from nfs, but not accessing casper-rw
[22:21] <abstrakt> aight so how do I go about getting my wireless to work. the ubuntu software manager told me to install the BCM drivers for my Dell 1490 WLAN card and it "appears" to work, e.g. when i flick the physical switch on my laptop wireless card to the "on" position, i do get an "enable wireless" checkbox when I right click the network connection icon on the panel
[22:21] <abstrakt> but i don't get any autodetected networks
[22:21] <erUSUL> !wubi | Nibz see the wiki page it has a lot of info
[22:21] <Nibz> I have looked at that
[22:21] <Nibz> I have spent the last 6 hours trying to fix the problem
[22:21] <erUSUL> Nibz: i never used wubi so i can not help further sorry
[22:22] <abstrakt> and when i try to set up a network manually the apply button stays ghosted/grayed out so I can't do anything
[22:22] <Nibz> I have reinstalled tryed sudo install-grub2
[22:22] <Nibz> It seems the update is overwriting my kernal
[22:22] <gslauen> hello all
[22:22] <lobo_tuerto> how can you tell if you have a certain library ready to use for linking? is there a command for that?
[22:23] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: can you give more background please.
[22:23] <abstrakt> !wireless
[22:24] <erUSUL> lobo_tuerto: make sure the -dev package for the lib is present
[22:24] <Nibz> So noone can help me with my problem
[22:24] <gslauen> I have just installed mythbuntu 9.10 and I am having an odd problem. In the frontend I am being asked for a password to change settings under utilities/settings. I have never seen this before. Can anyone help me with this or tell me where to find or change this password. Thanks
[22:24] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: I'm trying to compile something in my ubuntu box, but it is complaining I'm lacking "-lruby19" (but I have /usr/local/lib/libruby19-static.a)
[22:24] <lobo_tuerto> erUSUL: I have already installed ruby19-dev :(
[22:24] <mattgyver> is it possible to configure a wine application to use a specific version of windows so that you dont have to change the global setting?
[22:25] <Glowball> Hi
[22:25] <dabaR> Nibz: are you saying you can not boot into Ubuntu?
[22:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hi | Glowball
[22:25] <Nibz> Thats corect
[22:25] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: did you configure it to look in /usr/local/lib for libarries ?
[22:25] <Glowball> (SpaceGhose: I know, I was already typing, I just say hi first :P)
[22:25] <arand> Nibz: Is this maybe the problem?: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104?comments=all If soo, try replacing (rather backup and replace) the current wubildr with the one in comment #90
[22:25] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: -L/usr/local/lib for example or the correct configuration, is your dynamic linker setup to look in /usr/local/lib ?
[22:25] <GhostWolf> http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/102/screenshotqez.png for those who wanted to see the image of what i meant on amsn
[22:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> Glowball, no worries then. Got a question?
[22:26] <Glowball> I'm looking for sun-java6-jdk, but I can't find it in synaptic anymore... (Somebody confirmed me it was in there with that name before), was it renamed?
[22:26] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: this is part of the command: gcc -shared  -L/usr/local/lib
[22:26] <erUSUL> !info sun-java6-jdk | Glowball
[22:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> GhostWolf, does this interfere with anything?
[22:26] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: looks like it's looking in the right place, why is ruby in /usr/local/lib, it's normally in /usr/lib on an ubuntu install
[22:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> slowbottu.
[22:26] <dabaR> Nibz: and what have you tried so far? You might want to type it all out into a pastebin, so you can reuse it if noone can help you now, so you don't have to type it over and over
[22:26] <Nibz> ill check that arand
[22:26] <erUSUL> Glowball: maybe you need to enable multiverse? (weird it is disables though)
[22:27] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: when I compiled and installed ruby 1.9, I decided to put it in my /usr/local since I installed it manually
[22:27] <tessarakt> Hi!
[22:27] <GhostWolf> SpaceGhostC2C, not that im aware of i just know people who add me or i added after i got amsn looks like that i just don't like it it, its a bit annoying to me
[22:27] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: ok, so it's because you've compiled it manually, that makes sense
[22:27] <tessarakt> what do I have to do on a 64bit machine to be able to run 32bit programs?
[22:27] <tessarakt> e.g. downloaded Firefox
[22:27] <Glowball> erUSUL: I'll have a look..
[22:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> GhostWolf, interesting. I don't know what it is for exactly.
[22:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> tessarakt, sudo apt-get instal ia32-libs
[22:27] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: surprised it's causing you a problem if you're saying -L/usr/local/lib
[22:28] <tessarakt> thx
[22:28] <Daughain> What app did I lose if nautilus tells me "There is no application installed for executable files"?
[22:28] <GhostWolf> SpaceGhostC2C, me neither i think its something that showing me someone didn't add me
[22:28] <Nibz> Dabar I have tryed everything on that site you gave me
[22:28] <tessarakt> I searched for x86
[22:28] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: maybe I need to rename that /usr/local/lib/libruby19-static.a to something else? so it can find it as -lruby19
[22:28] <SpaceGhostC2C> GhostWolf, possible.
[22:28] <tessarakt> and 32 was a bit too generic
[22:28] <Daughain> And/or how do I find out?
[22:28] <Glowball> erUSUL: It's disabled indeed. Quite strange I *do* find the jre...
[22:28] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: no, you shouldn't need to rename it, that's fine,....ahh wait

[22:28] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: it's doing -shared = shared libaries, .la is static
[22:28] <gslauen> I have just installed mythbuntu 9.10 and I am having an odd problem. In the frontend I am being asked for a password to change settings under utilities/settings. I have never seen this before. Can anyone help me with this or tell me where to find or change this password. I understand being asked for a password for the backend and to login but I have never seen it on the frontend. Thanks
[22:28] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, it's not associated with the files, you might not have lost a application, just the association.
[22:28] <ikonia> Goliath: what's that for ?
[22:29] <tessarakt> 2 more minutes and I have my beloved Thunderbird3 back ...
[22:29] <Goliath> ikonia: wrong paste
[22:29] <ikonia> Goliath: no problem
[22:29] <GhostWolf> but SpaceGhostC2C i know those people added me so i dunno even one person added me when i had to use my windows machine for a while cause i was on dial up
[22:29] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: when you've built ruby, you've only built the static libraries, that's why it's failing
[22:29] <jambarbosa> #vivaolinux
[22:29] <lo127> anyone know if it is possible to configure a vpn connection in network manager and then start/stop it from the terminal?
[22:29] <codenamenos> hey i want to copy the whole website of lyrics any idea how to do that. using ubuntu 9.10
[22:29] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: How do I reset the association?
[22:29] <dabaR> Nibz: hey, when did I give you a site?
[22:30] <Nibz> Dabar: Few min ago https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104?comments=all
[22:30] <dabaR> that was someone else.
[22:30] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: ohhh :O  do you know what do I need to do for it got generate the shared ones? (or do I need to go google it?) :)
[22:30] <Nibz> Dabar: My bad
[22:30] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: need to recompile ruby, look for the shared libs options
[22:30] <Nibz> Dabar: But I have tryed everyone on that site.
[22:30] <al__> Seveas, looks like I'm affected by this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ndiswrapper/+bug/459716
[22:30] <dabaR> Nibz: so you just installed ubuntu using wubi. You can not boot into it, right?
[22:30] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: you could just link it against ruby supplied with ubuntu
[22:31] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, I'm looking it up.
[22:31] <Nibz> dabar: Yes I can boot the first time but not have I update
[22:31] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: Thanks.
[22:31] <al__> Seveas, do you have WPA working using ndiswrapper in 9.10 - and if so did you have to do your own build or is there another (less scary) way?
[22:31] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, here is one answer, but I remember seeing something better.
[22:31] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, http://techntools.vox.com/library/post/changing-file-associations-in-ubuntu-is-as-easy-as-cake.html
[22:31] <dabaR> Nibz: so, you installed, it worked, you updated and it does not work any more?
[22:31] <Seveas> al__, I don't. I've used intel hardware for years, no problems at all :)
[22:31] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: Cool, thanks. =)
[22:31] <al__> Seveas, heh
[22:32] <Nibz> Dabar: Correct is on boot it brings me the grub promt
[22:32] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: I already did sudo apt-get build-dep ruby1.8 ruby1.9
[22:32] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: thought that would take care of that
[22:32] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: not if the build options are static
[22:33] <al__> Seveas, though getting the latest code and rebuilding it I guess wouldn't help if the bug itself isn't fixed - or am I missing something?
[22:33] <dabaR> Nibz: and what did you try on the prompt?
[22:33] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: lol, I just solved my problem
[22:33] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: ooh, cool, do tell
[22:33] <Seveas> al__, if upstream hasn't fixed the bug tht will indeed not help
[22:33] <gslauen> I have just installed mythbuntu 9.10 and I am having an odd problem. In the frontend I am being asked for a password to change settings under utilities/settings. I have never seen this before. Can anyone help me with this or tell me where to find or change this password. Is this a bug? Thanks
[22:33] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: you know what I did? renamed libruby19-static.a to libruby19.a
[22:33] <lobo_tuerto> and it succesfully compiled and installed
[22:33] <lobo_tuerto> my ruby-opengl :)
[22:34] <Nibz> Dabar: linux/boot/vml... root=/dev/sda2 loop=/ubuntu/disks/roo.disk ro >initrd /boot/init... >boot
[22:34] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: and it's linked against the static libary ?
[22:34] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: didn't think that would work as the gcc line you've shown me was using -shared
[22:34] <codenamenos> i want to copy whole website of lyrics any idea how i gonna do that?
[22:34] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: Ok.....What app do I need to associate an exe file with?
[22:34] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: yeah, me too, but it did... I will run the samples to check everything is alright
[22:34] <SpaceGhostC2C> codenamenos, maybe you should look up wget. man wget is the command.
[22:34] <dabaR> Nibz: Do you know that /dev/sda2 is correct?
[22:34] <pH_> hey guys
[22:34] <GhostWolf> so no one else would know the problem with amsn that has an x inside a circle?
[22:34] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, depends, is it a windows app you want to run?
[22:34] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: be interesting to see if it's stable, nice spot though
[22:34] <FireCrotch> Does anyone know if there's a way to make google chrome use your window manager's theming?
[22:35] <pH_> guys, any idea about how can I mount a dvd on my windows and read it from my netbook?
[22:35] <pH_> remote dvd stuff
[22:35] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: No, linux app. windows I know what to link it to. =)
[22:35] <trism> GhostWolf: the amsn faq says that the person does not have you in their contact list
[22:35] <Nibz> dabar: Yes I do
[22:35] <ikonia> pH_: you'd have to share your dvd drive on windows, it will be slow though
[22:35] <FireCrotch> Oh pffft, nevermind, I didn't look well enough
[22:35] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, are you sure it's a linux app? .exe is usually windows..
[22:36] <GhostWolf> trism well i know they do, cause they added me on the normal msn when i had to use windows on dial up
[22:36] <trism> GhostWolf: a forum post I found said this could be for 3 reason, the user removed you, didn't add you yet, or it is a bug with the server and they really do have you
[22:36] <lobo_tuerto> ikonia: well, the chingu's game samples run just good, thanks for your support :)
[22:36] <ikonia> lobo_tuerto: you fixed it yourself, well dont "yourself"
[22:37] <Nibz> dabar: still there?
[22:37] <GhostWolf> trism, well its mainly the 3rd option.. i know for a fact the person added me cause i accepted it when i was on my windows comp before i could get dsl back
[22:37] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: Yes, I just write it that way, since I dont actually know what file extension linux apps use.
[22:37] <dabaR> Nibz: yes. A couple of people say they can manually boot.
[22:37] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, linux isn't dependent on a file extiension
[22:38] <Daughain> Oi....
[22:38] <Nibz> Dabar: With the same thing I typed to you?
[22:38] <Daughain> Its unetbootin for linux.
[22:38] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, I'd rename the file to just the name or something you want.
[22:38] <pH_> ikonia: how
[22:38] <pH_> ?
[22:38] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, so when you downloaded it, what was it's name?
[22:38] <ikonia> pH_: the guys in ##windows will tell you how to share your cd drive, you then need to use "samba" on linux to mount it
[22:38] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: unetbootin-linux-393
[22:38] <mtrg> what's the best media server for playihg HD 5.1 1080p/i moivies
[22:39] <SpaceGhostC2C> then all you should need to do is chmod +x unetbootin-linux-393 and then ./unetbootin-linux-393
[22:39] <ikonia> mtrg: the client is what matters
[22:39] <GhostWolf> ok anyways thanks for the problem guys have a nice weekend
[22:39] <dabaR> Nibz: ya, looks like.
[22:39] <Nibz> Dabar: What is /dev
[22:39] <dabaR> As in here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/477104/comments/18
[22:39] <SpaceGhostC2C> ikonia, but don't some servers have better features, like on the fly transcoding?
[22:39] <pH_> ikonia: do you know any tut?
[22:40] <Nibz> Dabar: I know for a face that sda2 is correct but im not sure about /dev
[22:40] <dabaR> Nibz: it is where file nodes
[22:40] <mtrg> ikonia: my client is an xbox360, connected to Harman/Kardon AVR with 5.1 setup, and a 1080i screen
[22:40] <ikonia> SpaceGhostC2C: it doesn't matter if he's serving files
[22:40] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: Ummmm....What does that do?? I dont care what it is called, I need to find out how to make it run. =)
[22:40] <ikonia> mtrg: so you're using upnp
[22:40] <SpaceGhostC2C> ikonia, good point.
[22:40] <dabaR> Nibz: it is where "file nodes" for devices go.
[22:40] <Nibz> Dabar: Then Yes it should work
[22:40] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, that makes it executable and then runs it.
[22:40] <dabaR> Nibz: in Unix, everything is a file, even a device - you read from it, and write to it
[22:40] <mtrg> ikonia: i thought upnp is for auto configuring NAT on routers
[22:40] <Nibz> Dabar: I have the correct partition selected
[22:40] <dabaR> Nibz: how do you know sda2 is good?
[22:40] <ikonia> mtrg: no,
[22:40] <SpaceGhostC2C> !info udev | Nibz
[22:41] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: And, last time I tried playing in term, I lost these associations and crashed dolphin.
[22:41]  * dabaR thinks SpaceGhostC2C is cute
[22:41] <Daughain> OK, I'll give it a try. =)
[22:41] <ikonia> mtrg: I'm asking as you'll need a client that's compatible with your server, so it depends what servers the xbox can use, hence why I was wondering if you where using upnp
[22:41] <mtrg> ikonia: do you recommend any upnp streaming server, that supports WMA HD 5.1 streaming?
[22:41] <Nibz> dabar: I intstalled it on my second partiton or my d:/ drive so it should be 2
[22:42] <ikonia> mtrg: the streaming isn't important - it's just a file. It's more important that the client can deal with the encoding and is compatible with the server
[22:42] <dabaR> I've seen hda2
[22:42] <dabaR> I think it is the diff between sata and ide drives
[22:42] <rambo298>  i get authentication failed over and over at spash login; this is after ldap was installed now i am trying to recover. i've reset my password with grub recovery mode, but i still get authentication failed over and over HELP!
[22:42]  * dabaR could be way off on this one
[22:42] <maddhat> sort of odd issue (in server 9.10), I can browse to a drive but the cmd "df" doesnt see it, nor does "ls /dev/sd*"
[22:42] <omenmaster> can some1 help - screen goes black while im using my laptop and it wont come back on forcing me to reboot. plz help and thanks in advance
[22:42] <mtrg> ikonia: encoding aka codecs?
[22:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> dabar are you replying to someone or asking a question?
[22:43] <ikonia> mtrg: a file is encoded with a "codec" if you want, if that's not compatible with the client, it won't matter
[22:43] <maddhat> anyone know how to get that drive to show up when i do df?
[22:43] <Nibz> Space: Hes talking to me
[22:43] <iceroot> rambo298: is pam set to only accept ldap or also local /etc/passwd? if not, set /etc/passwd also
[22:43] <ikonia> maddhat: mount it
[22:43] <mtrg> ikonia: right, that's why I said WMA HD
[22:43] <SpaceGhostC2C> dabaR, you should use the usernames to reply to someone. like everyone else is doing.
[22:43] <maddhat> ikonia: it must be mounted already.. as i said, i can browse to it
[22:43] <ikonia> mtrg: ok, so the server doesn't matter, it's just a file
[22:44] <Nibz> Dabar: Ok say it was hda2 Would dev will be the correct path
[22:44] <ikonia> maddhat: is it a samba mount by any chance ?
[22:44] <mtrg> ikonia: and that file must be encoded properly as WMA HD?
[22:44] <Nibz> space: He missed it once
[22:44] <rambo298> iceroot i removed pam (i think); if i edit /etc/passwd in recovery mode (root), and just delete my password between the ":" like i did with /etc/shadow, will that work?
[22:44] <ikonia> mtrg: yes
[22:44] <maddhat> ikonia: no, im browsing through term (ssh'd in)
[22:44] <mtrg> ikonia: good to know
[22:44] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: That got it, thanks again. =)
[22:44] <omenmaster> can some1 help - screen goes black while im using my laptop and it wont come back on forcing me to reboot. plz help and thanks in advance
[22:44] <mtrg> ikonia: I thought some servers are able to change encoding on the fly
[22:44] <iceroot> rambo298: i bet you dont removed pam, if so you have a big problem
[22:44] <ikonia> maddhat: show me the output of mount in a pastebin please
[22:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> Nibz, more than once. I wanted to know if he was the one having the problem or what he was talking about. I'm not attacking him, chill.
[22:45] <ikonia> mtrg: they sure can, but that's going to take a large ammount of resources
[22:45] <rambo298> iceroot what pkg can i install to get pam back?
[22:45] <mtrg> ikonia: any good names for such servers?
[22:45] <iceroot> rambo298: with what you think you have REMOVED pam?
[22:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, no worries mate, if you need more help let me know.
[22:45] <maddhat> ikonia: i cant mount it tho, its not showing up in dev
[22:45] <dabaR> SpaceGhostC2C: you are super cute.
[22:45] <Nibz> Spaceghostc2c: alright sorry
[22:45] <pH_> ok guys
[22:45] <ikonia> mtrg: I'm not aware of any as wmv is a propratary codec
[22:45] <pH_> dvd on windows is not being shered
[22:45] <pH_> shared
[22:45] <pH_> how do i get it from ubuntu?
[22:45] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: I always need help, I just need to find what I need help with next. =)
[22:46] <ikonia> maddhat: then you can't be browsing it
[22:46] <dabaR> Nibz: /dev is 99.9999999% correct. I would be super surprised if it was not.
[22:46] <rambo298> iceroot you assume i was thinking? i panicked when i couldn't login! i removed everything i installed with ldap, but i whacked the pam.d directory
[22:46] <maddhat> ikonia: like i said.. odd
[22:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> mtrg, here's a hint, see what clients you have available to you on your devices and then find a server compatible, not the otehr way around.
[22:46] <ikonia> maddhat: please show me the output of the command "mount" on it's own
[22:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> dabaR, what is that supposed to mean?
[22:46] <maddhat> ohh
[22:46] <Nibz> dabar: Ok great thanks so much for pointion out my stupid error I will try this But what happens when I do get it booted is it not going to presist with the sameproblem?
[22:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, well we're always here, and you can feel free to PM me anytime you need help.
[22:46] <dabaR> SpaceGhostC2C: You somehow come off as being a newcomer to the community, and very eager to help. I find it cute.
[22:47] <iceroot> rambo298: hm, use a live-cd or recovery console and check /var/log/auth.log
[22:47] <iceroot> rambo298: to see what is wrong
[22:47] <dabaR> Nibz: no, it could just as much not be the case that that is the problem.
[22:47] <rambo298> ok let me see; this is windows i will switch over and check brb
[22:47] <dabaR> But you gotta test that.
[22:47] <SpaceGhostC2C> dabaR, I'm not sure if you're being rude, but I think you are. I have been here for quite some time. The length doesn't matter, don't be insulting.
[22:47] <dabaR> SpaceGhostC2C: in other words, you remind me of me.
[22:48] <ikonia> guys, please drop it
[22:48] <Nibz> dabar: OK I will and get back to you on that. Thank you so much for the help.
[22:48] <iceroot> rambo298: you can understand german? i wrote an article about using ubuntu with ldap (and kerberos)
[22:48] <ikonia> it's a support channel, stick to it
[22:48] <Daughain> SpaceGhostC2C: You missed the fun when I set up lanboot on this system. =)
[22:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> Daughain, you should pm me to chat about things. Or we can go chat in #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:49] <rambo298> iceroot no i'd have to translate it; but i will try, what's the url for your article?  man did i screw myself big time with this one
[22:49] <Nozy> hmmm update to 9.10 from 9.04 am I going to cry =)
[22:50] <dabaR> Nozy: Maybe, maybe not.   Put the CD in and it automounts under the name (/media/QWBASMM) but when I right click and choose Open with Wine, it gives me a Blocked: not marked as executable.  I've tried mounting the CD as mount -o exec, but it says it's read only.  What should I do?
[22:50] <helium3fusion> what is channel topic?
[22:50] <ikonia> helium3fusion: ubuntu support
[22:50] <dabaR> Nozy: no way it is going to make you cry, then.
[22:50] <ZykoticK9> conky appearing under desktop background wallpaper (i'm using Compiz to draw wallpaper instead of Nautilus), when i switch to 3d Cube I can see conky, the rest of the time not-so-much.  Any ideas?
[22:50] <iceroot> helium3fusion: ubuntu-support
[22:51] <helium3fusion> nice...
[22:51] <Nozy> dabaR:  thianks
[22:51] <dabaR> helium3fusion: you can send /topic as a message to the channel to see
[22:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> dabaR, do you mind not belittling other bro? It's rude and degrading.
[22:51] <dabaR> ikonia: ^ see how he thanked me?
[22:51] <ikonia> dabaR: it doesn't matter, you don't speak to people like that
[22:51] <dabaR> Like what?
[22:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> !Coc | dabaR
[22:52] <SpaceGhostC2C> dabaR, read that. It's in the rules.
[22:53] <VCoolio> ZykoticK9: try removing 'below' from own_window_hints
[22:53] <rambo298> iceroot txs for the link; so the error is, surprise surprise, PAM pam_start: failed to initialize handlers could not open /etc/pam.conf; so what pkg can i install to get pam back?
[22:53] <iceroot> rambo298: in /etc/nsswitch.conf just set passwd, shadow and group to comvat
[22:54] <mengu> hi. how do i know if my vga driver is installed? if it is not installed, how can i install it?
[22:54] <iceroot> !info pam
[22:54] <mengu> i'm on 9.10
[22:54] <iceroot> rambo298: i dont know the packagename but dpkg-reconfigure thepackage-name-of-pame should be enough
[22:54] <jage> is there a way to set the execute permission bit on a CD?
[22:55] <rambo298> iceroot ok txs i'll try to find the pkg name
[22:55] <iceroot> rambo298: on jaunty, pam.conf is empty by default
[22:55] <m013> beeeeeetiiiis
[22:56] <rambo298> iceroot i'll be back, but i am sure it is because i whacked the pam directory and pam.conf in /etc ... bad move i know
[22:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> jage, it'd be only for the time it's mounted. I think so though.
[22:56] <mengu> anyone?
[22:56] <iceroot> rambo298: always create a file like pam.conf.old before doing changes
[22:56] <jage> i only need the execute bit for the install, so a mount is OK, but mount -o exec fails saying the CD is read only
[22:56] <rambo298> iceroot i think i should always think before i delete things ... that is the first step; gray matter first, fingers second!
[22:57] <iceroot> rambo298: that is a good start ;)
[22:57] <ZykoticK9> VCoolio, thanks for the suggestion - no dice unfortunately.  Tried with a different theme, which kills of Compiz's background altogether
 lspci -v  and search VGA section
[22:57] <andrew__> Any good guides around for linux newbies?
[22:58] <newfierich> Hello all. I am having problems connecting to the internet using ubuntu. I just reinstalled 9.10 and now I can't seem to connect wireless. I never had problems in the past on have no problems connecting via windows
[22:58] <sebsebseb> !new | andrew__
[22:58] <andrew__> I mean explaining the file structure, what /var/www, /etc/ and stuff means?
[22:58] <sebsebseb> andrew__: Ubuntu Pocket Guide
[22:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> sebsebseb, you beat me to it...
[22:58] <andrew__> Ok right ta
[22:59] <iceroot> !dirs | andrew__
[22:59] <newfierich> I also checked my wireless card and it seems to be working in ubuntu... any ideas?
[22:59] <jage> is there a ubottu for disabling the execute bit check?
[22:59] <iceroot> newfierich: sounds good if it is working
[23:00] <ZykoticK9> jage, chmod -x foo
[23:00] <newfierich> connection manager does no give me any networks to connect too ...
[23:00] <andrew__> Oh cool, there's actually a nice guide on stuff there
[23:00] <iceroot> newfierich: but showing the card?
[23:00] <ardchoille> jage: Be careful when using that recursively, removing the execute bit from folders can lock users out of folders
[23:00] <jage> jage@Violet:/media/QWBASMMIR1F$ chmod -x install.exe
[23:00] <jage> chmod: changing permissions of `install.exe': Read-only file system (It's a CD
[23:01] <newfierich> iceroot: I checked it in terminal
[23:01] <iceroot> jage: install.exe?
[23:01] <iceroot> jage: on linux?
[23:01] <mengu> Kohar: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[23:01] <sebsebseb> SpaceGhostC2C: Which?
[23:01] <mengu> it shows this.
[23:01] <ZykoticK9> jage, that's a windows program - i think everything from MS is set to executable...  you should probably be using something like "wine install.exe" instead
[23:01] <jage> iceroot: yes, trying to use Wine to install from CD and it doens't have a execute flag set
[23:01] <mengu> but in the display my max screen resolution is 1024. i had it larger in 9.04
[23:01] <newfierich> at least my wireless drivers are installed..
[23:02] <iceroot> jage: wine file.exe  and not ./file.exe
[23:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> sebsebseb, about the !new factoid and the pocket book :P
[23:02] <jage> -r-------- 1 jage jage 14860 2000-08-03 16:57 install.exe
[23:03] <iceroot> jage: again, wine install.exe
[23:03] <newfierich> Does anyone have any idea why connection manager does not show any wireless connections but windows does? as far as a i can tell my network card is installed...
[23:03] <dc0m> newfierich: because it sucks.
[23:03] <sebsebseb> SpaceGhostC2C: ok
[23:03] <jage> iceroot: yeah that worked, thanks.
[23:04] <iceroot> jage: or just click the exe, wine will handle it
[23:04] <newfierich> dc0m: thanks for the help
[23:04] <dc0m> newfierich: try wicd.
[23:05] <dc0m> newfierich: maybe you'll have luck with that one. You are sure you have wireless card working in Ubuntu?
[23:05] <dc0m> newfierich: if you card is working ... and network manager does not show any connections, try wicd as an alternative.
[23:06] <newfierich> dc0m: I know the there are drivers installed for it...
[23:06] <newfierich> dc0m: I will give that a try and report back thanks
[23:06] <dc0m> newfierich: there are some nice tutorials on net for wicd on ubuntu, google it.
[23:07] <sebsebseb> andrew__: np
[23:08] <ardchoille> !google
[23:09] <newfierich> dc0m: will do
[23:10] <dc0m> ardchoille: there was no question.
[23:11] <dabaR> ardchoille: did you actually know that message was gonna come up for !google?
[23:11] <ardchoille> yes, Please don't tell people to "google it"
[23:11] <renegaid> what file system should be used for the boot partition?
[23:11] <duffydack> Ive had to reinstall my win7/ubuntu laptop, and for some reason I`m getting this (http://imagebin.org/84589)  and when trying to add a partition in the last unallocated space it tells me I cant add anymore primary, but ive made extended, which holds home/swap... this is the same partition setup I used last time and I never saw any unallocated spaces inbetween the partitions like that..
[23:11] <ardchoille> dabaR: I've been here for years ;)
[23:11] <dabaR> renegaid: ext4
[23:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> renegaid, depends on what your kernel has support for
[23:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> renegaid, I'd stick with ext2 or ext3
[23:12] <dc0m> dabaR: why ext4?
[23:12] <dabaR> ardchoille: that is not what it used to say a long time ago.
[23:12] <Gekko_____> disconnect
[23:12] <iceroot> SpaceGhostC2C: kernel supports everything
[23:12] <dabaR> dc0m: I think that is the default for ubuntu now.
[23:12] <dabaR> !fs
[23:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> iceroot, yeah. but as a rule of thumb, not all kernels support everything.
[23:12] <lokman> hi
[23:12] <iceroot> SpaceGhostC2C: all kernels support ext2-4 and some others
[23:12] <renegaid> so basically it doesn't matter?
[23:12] <dc0m> dabaR: i use ext3, sometimes ext2. So its pretty much up to you....
[23:12] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: the problem is with grub. it does not have a stage for everything :)
[23:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> dabaR, the reason I wouldn't use ext4 for my /boot is because it's not stable yet.
[23:13] <dc0m> SpaceGhostC2C: i agree.
[23:13] <Seveas> iceroot, ext4 only since rather recent though
[23:13] <dabaR> renegaid: well, you should probably use what ubuntu uses by default.
[23:13] <erUSUL> renegaid: use ext*
[23:13] <Seveas> SpaceGhostC2C, does grub2 support ext4 already?
[23:13] <dabaR> renegaid: but you could use something else if you want.
[23:13] <iceroot> Seveas: on all supported ubuntu-versions kernel support ext4
[23:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> renegaid, maybe. I use ext3 because it's stable.
[23:13] <EPAstor> Just anecdotal, but I'm running ext4 and grub2. Works fine for me.
[23:13] <iceroot> Seveas: 8.04 can handle ext4 also
[23:13] <renegaid> it doesn't say what is default
[23:13] <Seveas> iceroot, I'm fairly sure dapper (6.04, still supported) doesn't :)
[23:13] <dabaR> renegaid: what ubuntu are you gonna install?
[23:13] <erUSUL> Seveas: it should at leat the ubuntu patched version :) or we all would be in much trouble
[23:14] <Seveas> erUSUL, kk :)
[23:14] <EPAstor> ext4 is generally the default. Honestly, I don't think it makes much difference.
[23:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> iceroot, I don't just use ubuntu. I run my own lfs distro for personal use among other things. So it's not a bandaid solution. Best idea is to let him know the ubuntu specific kernel has support, but not all.
[23:14] <renegaid> 9.10
[23:14] <iceroot> Seveas: the server-edition, yes you are correct, its still supported (imo)
[23:14] <dabaR> renegaid: and why do you need to know what type to use?
[23:14] <dabaR> renegaid: I don't think the installer asks that.
[23:14] <dc0m> All linux distros are flexible enough to fit them to your needs. So using ext4 just because Ubuntu use it as default is not a good reason.
[23:14] <Seveas> iceroot, for anout 15.5 more months :)
[23:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> renegaid, if you want to live on the bleeding edge, try ext4 it's unstable but kinda cool and fast. If you want stable, go with ext3.
[23:14] <iceroot> SpaceGhostC2C: this is ubuntu-support, so ubuntu is default distri
[23:14] <seryl> dc0m: All is pretty encompassing, I'd say most.
[23:15] <iceroot> SpaceGhostC2C: let me correct this, ubuntu is the only distri here
[23:15] <administrador> que cosa es esta
[23:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> iceroot, Good job. Yes, this is ubuntu, but also I wouldn't pass on information that's only ubuntu specific as if it's true in all linux. I'd make sure to communicate that.
[23:15] <Seveas> SpaceGhostC2C, ext4 is definitely not unstable
[23:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> !es administrador
[23:15] <erUSUL> !es | administrador
[23:15] <dabaR> administrador: are you speaking italian?
[23:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> Seveas, umm, have they fixed some of the data loss bugs and other fails in the last two weeks?
[23:16] <Seveas> SpaceGhostC2C, so? That happens with any fs :)
[23:16] <blakkheim> lol no
[23:16] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: yes; 32 has no problems at all. and the important bugfixes where backported to 31
[23:17] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: also use jfs for a while and talk about a carppy fs ;P
[23:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> Seveas, my experience is that ext4 broke on me consistently for 17 reinstalls until I just went ext3. Plus my ext3 filesystems haven't broken ever.
[23:17] <dc0m> Seveas: ext4 is not recomended i production evironment.
[23:17] <dc0m> in*
[23:17] <Seveas> SpaceGhostC2C, lucky you :) ext3 cost me quite a bit of data (I was young and naive and didn't use backups :))
[23:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
[23:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> Seveas, I've found that I'm a lucky person.
[23:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> I'll see if the newer ext4 isn't as fail as the previous.
[23:18]  * erUSUL lost some pr0n once too
[23:18] <administrador> do not
[23:18] <erUSUL> ;P
[23:18] <dabaR> hee hee
[23:18] <dabaR> administrador: what language?
[23:18] <Seveas> "On 15 January 2010, Google announced that it would upgrade its storage infrastructure from ext2 to ext4.[7]"
[23:18] <erUSUL> dabaR: is spanish
[23:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> But, I still say if you need some stability, then ext3 until ext4 has more time being stable under it's belt.
[23:18] <Seveas> not that one companys opinion says all, but they do carry some weight :)
[23:19] <dc0m> ext4 will certanly replace ext3, but it will be some time until that happens.
[23:19] <administrador> castellano
[23:19] <Seveas> !cat
[23:19] <erUSUL> administrador: entra en #ubuntu-es
[23:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> Seveas, their decision bro. They can afford data loss.
[23:19] <Seveas> SpaceGhostC2C, that is true too
[23:19] <administrador> no hay nadie
[23:19] <dc0m> SpaceGhostC2C: that was my point, its up to them.
[23:19] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: no they can afford to hire ext2-3-4 developer Ted T'so ;)
[23:20] <dabaR> administrador: you might have to wait :-/ Or if you speak english, try here.
[23:20] <EPAstor> Honestly, once I had a major external hard drive fail, I decided to set up a real backup server. After that - I was a lot less worried about filesystem details. (rsync'd nightly, with dynamic snapshots taken and not overwritten for 30 days)
[23:20] <seryl> EPAstor: raid's nice too... imo.
[23:20] <seryl> EPAstor: drive failures shouldn't be something you should worry about
[23:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> erUSUL, anytime a cluster goes down in google they have more ready that are set up. The only real problem was in the last year the load balance was focusing to a specific group of clusters overloading them and leaving others idle.
[23:20] <administrador> my ingles es malo perdon
[23:20] <EPAstor> seryl: Sure... I didn't mention that the backup server is running a mirrored pair.
[23:21] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: Seveas they've got journal-less ext4 mode coded just for them (google used ext2 becouse of this)
[23:21] <Seveas> erUSUL, as I said: they arry some weight :)
[23:21] <jage> administrator: type /j #ubuntu-es
[23:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> erUSUL, why would I want to use it without the journal? Silly..
[23:21] <dabaR> jage: I think he said noone is there.
[23:21] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: well if google do it there is food for thought
[23:22] <dabaR> administrador: Maybe later someone will be in ubuntu-es
[23:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> We've all been offtopic for so long. Can we move it to #ubuntu-offtopic, but not drop the subject?
[23:22] <Seveas> SpaceGhostC2C, in a system where you can live with dataloss, it's fine. Google's BigTable is one of those systems.
[23:22] <erUSUL> dabaR: not true i'm op there.
[23:22] <dabaR> erUSUL: I thought he said that...
[23:22] <jage> no one is there vs. no one is answering
[23:22] <Yushatak> can someone tell me a graphical GTK-based FTP client that's in the repo i can grab to use?
[23:22] <dabaR> OK, well, all you need to do is get him there somehow :)
[23:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> Seveas, totally. I agree, hence why I said it earlier. But I doubt the original asker has that sort of system.
[23:22] <erUSUL> dabaR: he must have misstyped channel name. he did not enter the channel
[23:23] <Seveas> hehe, I don't even remember who the original asker was. The discussion was too good for those details ;)
[23:23] <ldlework> How can I force a Current Working Directory for an Application Menu item?
[23:23] <erUSUL> Seveas: a common missconception. journal does not prevent data loss it only prevents big fsck after unclean shutdwon
[23:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> I'm glad I was a part of it. Can we keep going, but in offtopic?
[23:24] <Seveas> erUSUL, replaying the journal avoids dataloss
[23:24] <Seveas> not prevents, but avoids :)
[23:24] <Nozy> hey all does some know the best way to over ride the "not enough free disk space" error on the upgrade ?
[23:24] <dabaR> SpaceGhostC2C: Do you really think it is necessary to keep the channel quiet if noone is asking questions>?
[23:24] <dabaR> Nozy: you sure it is an error?
[23:24] <iceroot> Nozy: free some disk-space
[23:24] <Seveas> Nozy, yeah, delete some files :)
[23:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> dabaR, it's not relative to the channel, there are rules.
[23:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> see this.
[23:24] <Nozy> 16 GB
[23:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ot
[23:24] <iceroot> Nozy: sud apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get clean
[23:25] <mneptok> Yasumoto: Nautilus. it's already installed.
[23:25] <dabaR> SpaceGhostC2C: ya, but do you know why the rule was made?
[23:25] <Nozy> did that
[23:25] <mneptok> gah tab-fail
[23:25] <Nozy> has not help
[23:25] <iceroot> Nozy: 16gb on what? /boot? / /home or what?
[23:25] <Seveas> hi mneptok :)
[23:25] <Nozy> boots low
[23:25] <iceroot> Nozy: post output of  df -h to pastebin
[23:25] <dabaR> Where are .desktop files?
[23:25] <mneptok> Seveas: arrr!
[23:25] <Seveas> Nozy, clean up some old kernels
[23:25] <Nozy> ok 2 sec
[23:25] <Michalxo> hello all! I am having a strange bug for a few weeks. My fonts are UGLY in firefox-3.6, vlc, opera and some other applications, but not in gnome-default apps, where can be a problem pls?
[23:25] <mneptok> Yasumoto: sumi masen.
[23:26] <Nozy> Seveas: thinking that too now
[23:26] <Seveas> mneptok, your parrot is pooping on your back :P
[23:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> dabaR, because it cluttered the channel. This chat would be perfect for offtopic. Feel free to debate, but I'm out of here.
[23:26] <mneptok> Seveas: it's OK. so am i.
[23:26] <erUSUL> Seveas: that's true only in the special journal=data mode of ext* fs in a normal journal (like the other ext modes of jfs and xfs) it does not.

[23:28]  * jp-- is dist-upgrading from 8.04 to 9.04 on a minimal system, hope it all goes well when rebooting :(
[23:28] <david__HII> im having an issue to where i cannot select 1024x768 in the display manager
[23:28] <dabaR> Michalxo: That might help.
[23:28] <erUSUL> jp--: you have to do 8.04 --> 8.10 --> 9.04
[23:29] <jp--> sshit.
[23:29] <jp--> omg.
[23:29] <jp--> i already did it
[23:29] <FloodBot4> jp--: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[23:29] <jp--> it's installing the packages.
[23:29] <Seveas> jp--, don't worry too much
[23:29] <erUSUL> jp--: or wait until lucid is out in april and do 8.04 ---> 10.04
[23:29] <jp--> already dist upgraded erUSUL
[23:29] <jp--> :)
[23:29] <Nozy> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d6913d2a8
[23:29] <Nozy> looks like /boot is what it say is low ....
[23:29] <BORJS> ola o hello
[23:29] <jp--> hope it boots
[23:30] <Seveas> jp--, just let it continue. If it fails, use dpkg --configure -a and apt-get -f install and apt-get dist-upgrade to keep it going. If you can't make it go anymore and you get an error, pastebin the error and come back. Don't reboot before it all finished succesfully :)

[23:31] <jp--> thanks Seveas :) it feels good to have your support

[23:31] <ldlework> Can anyone help me create an application launcher where I can decide what the current working directory is?
[23:32] <ldlework> =/
[23:32] <andrew__> So.. best app for gmail on ubuntu?
[23:32] <Nozy> dam I have fix down boot ..... to only 1024

[23:33] <Seveas> andrew__, thunderbird, evolution, firefox...
[23:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> !best | andrew__
[23:33] <ldlework> Its like... unless my problem is "Omg ubuntu just crashed my computer, its not booting anymore" I can't get the easy answers in here heh.
[23:33] <neil_d> ldlework: have you tried creating a small script to do a 'cd' etc. then using the application launcher to start the script.
[23:33] <andrew__> Heh
[23:33] <ldlework> neil_d, tada, good idea.
[23:33] <Bertram> hi, I need help with ubuntu, i get error "Grub Loading - error: no such partition and then the grub rescue prompt
[23:33] <ldlework> I should have thought of that
[23:34] <jp--> i really did a lot of modifications to 8.04, changed ttys configurations, xorg.conf, xsession, omg.
[23:35] <jp--> and I'm doing all this to compile a stable version of vlc mozilla plugin
[23:35] <mkanyicy> Bertram, what operating systems do you have? on which partitions? pastebin fdisk -l output
[23:35] <Bertram> is this the right place to get assistance with the grub loader problem I have?
[23:35] <jp--> that won't crash when refreshing a page on firefox.
[23:35] <jp--> awesome.
[23:35] <cheezey1> this is so weird. i have graphics but i don't have the standard stuff like taskbars and stuff.
[23:35] <Bertram> ok, thanks, i will explain
[23:35] <Bertram> i had dual boot system, xp and ubuntu 9.10
[23:36] <mkanyicy> Bertram, how are you logged in now?
[23:36] <Bertram> different pc
[23:37] <mkanyicy> Bertram, do you have an ubuntu live cd?
[23:37] <Eremite> Bertram, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351  <-- How to reinstall Grub with a Live CD
[23:37] <Bertram> yes, version 9.10
[23:37] <Bertram> it does not boot from cd
[23:37] <Bertram> i tried to boot from xp cd as well
[23:38] <mkanyicy> Bertram, edit your boot sequence in your BIOS settings
[23:38] <Bertram> i formatted harddrive in other computer
[23:38] <Bertram> i cant, it does not allow me
[23:38] <mkanyicy> Bertram, which hard drive did you format?
[23:38] <Bertram> i have to press f12 at boot to boot from cd
[23:38] <Eremite> mkanyicy is right, Bertram.  You need to hit (probably) DEL or F12 when your PC is just startinmg and then adjust the BIOS to boot from CD first.
[23:38] <mkanyicy> Bertram, thats fine then
[23:39] <Bertram> the hdd that had ubuntu and xp installed
[23:39] <Eremite> Bertram, how did the error occure?  What made it happen?
[23:39] <mkanyicy> Bertram, and you formated in now?
[23:39] <Halabund> Hi!
[23:39] <Bertram> after format in other pc, i installed and still get error
[23:40] <Bertram> grub rescue prompt
[23:40] <Bertram> im stuck
[23:40] <Halabund> If a window is stretched horizontally all the way, the title bar and borders disappear here on Karmic.
[23:40] <mkanyicy> Bertram, i am a bit lost
[23:41] <mkanyicy> Bertram, you HAD windows xp and ubuntu BEFORE. and you took the hdd out to another pc and formatted it?
[23:41] <Bertram> yes
[23:41] <mkanyicy> Bertram, what did you do after formatting?
[23:42] <Bertram> but still get the grub rescue prompt and does not want to boot from cd
 grub rescue prompt
[23:42] <tessarakt> sh
[23:42] <tessarakt> you use RAID?
[23:42] <Bertram> yes
[23:42] <tessarakt> try typing: insmod linux<Enter>normal<Enter>
[23:42] <tessarakt> but I do not know how to fix it :-(
[23:42] <tessarakt> I have it myself
[23:43] <Bertram> it says no such partition
[23:43] <mkanyicy> Bertram, I have no experience about RAID, i don't think i could be of any help, sorry
[23:43] <tessarakt> damn
[23:43] <Bertram> ok
[23:43] <tessarakt> then your problem is different from mine
[23:43]  * jp-- is still unpacking and installing...
[23:44] <tessarakt> umm, what are you trying?
[23:44] <tessarakt> booting from CD?
[23:44] <Bertram> i cant understand why pc wont boot from cd
[23:44] <mkanyicy> Bertram, as a rough suggestion, you should not format a drive if you still want to boot from it
[23:44] <tessarakt> you need to tell it in BIOS settings
[23:44] <tessarakt> the HDD is bootable after all
[23:45] <tessarakt> only the bootloader has nothing to boot
[23:45] <Bertram> i tried as i have read other forms and nothing helps
[23:46] <Bertram> still stuck at grub rescue prompt
[23:46] <cheezey1> i can't get gdm to start =|
[23:47] <cheezey1> xserver starts... i think
[23:47] <privateabstract> You think?
[23:48] <Guest_894> Where can I send a gnome-ppp config file for analysis?
[23:49] <cheezey1> privateabstract: i dunno. i have graphics, but no fancy ones. =P
