[15:52] <oliver_> i installed a nvidia card in my ubuntu computer that had a ati before and i remove the ati drivers and installed the nvidia but it laggs little when i move windows and so.... heeelp
[15:52] <sdk> google fragmentation ext4
[15:52] <sdk> bbiab.
[15:52] <imfede> afeijo:  my vrtualbox run ubuntu perfectly
[15:52] <Nic_> Isn't it telling you to rm -rf here http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome ?
[15:52] <afeijo> imfede: your ubuntu is the guest or host?
[15:52] <Nic_> At the end
[15:52] <TiK> oliver: tweak your refresh rate and set vsync on....
[15:52] <afeijo> dual screen works only for windows guest, I'm runing ubuntu guest
[15:52] <tynot> indigo, we just would like a gui for someone offsite to remote into the ubuntu server. I'm sure I'm not explaining it well, bear with me, please. appreciate your assistance.
[15:53] <oliver_> TIK: how will i do that?
[15:53] <mayhew> if i'm updating from 9.10 to 10.04 will my settings and programs be messed with?
[15:53] <imfede> afeijo:  host i think
[15:53] <indigo> tynot: in that case, first i'd ask if that someone can run an X server on his machine
[15:53] <coz_> oliver_,  which nvidia card  and is compiz running?
[15:53] <afeijo> imfede: yeah, virtualbox dont support my scenario yet
[15:53] <TiK> Nic_: after you resize your partition just mv the music files onto it
[15:53] <Nic_> TiK: That is what I was thinking I would do
[15:53] <TiK> Nic_: you are not making a seperate home partition that would mess mint up
[15:54] <hate1> need help i must be a retard ... i can't past from a webpage into vi
[15:54] <indigo> tynot: if that someone is running Mac OS, Linux, BSD, or pretty much any Unix, the answer is yes. If he is running windows, the answer is yes, but maybe for a fee.
[15:54] <oliver_> coz_ nvidia gefore 240 gts 1gb zone edition
[15:54] <TiK> hate1: use pico/nano ;)
[15:54] <Nic_> Then I can install mint and move the music/media into mint, then delete that partition?
[15:54] <mayhew> if i'm updating from 9.10 to 10.04 will my settings and programs be messed with?
[15:54] <coz_> oliver_,  and is compiz running as well?
[15:54] <oliver_> coz_ yes
[15:54] <wastl> I am running an Nvidia 9500GT here with compiz on using dualhead with two displays and several compiz effects and it runs fine :)
[15:55] <coz_> oliver_,  did you choose the   "nvidia_current"  driver when you installed it?
[15:55] <hate1> never used nano or pico
[15:55] <bazhang> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/539794 imfede its a bug
[15:55] <oliver_> coz_ yes i did
[15:55] <TiK> Nic_: well you can delete the files off the partition but you will just have unused space if you delete the partition
[15:55] <tynot> indigo, as callus as it sounds, that's not my concern. I'm not terribly concerned who or how they'll access it virutally. I just need to set it up so that someone can use Xwindow.
[15:55] <coz_> oliver_,  and I assume you already rebooted the system after you installed the driver ...yes?
[15:55] <tynot> hope that made sense, indigo.
[15:55] <oliver_> coz_ yes
[15:55] <TiK> Nic_: its useful for backups though
[15:56] <Nic_> TiK: Cant I just delete that partition and resize the mint one?
[15:56] <oliver_> coz_ put compiz off and it runs very smooth... something wrong with compiz?
[15:56] <imfede> bazhang:  so no solution?
[15:56] <coz_> oliver_,  no  we probably have to tweak a few things hold on
[15:56] <bazhang> imfede, you read the link?
[15:56] <indigo> tynot: well then, just install whatever graphical programs you want, and tell "them" to install an X11 server, and you are done.
[15:56] <oliver_> coz_ alright :)
[15:56] <spunk> sdk, I recon system disks will stay unfragged easily, but with a media disk or a disk with virtual machine disk images that are frequently created and deleted will get fragmented...
[15:57] <grawity> Which package contains the "human" theme for notification-daemon?
[15:57] <barberan> Is there a sense to have the ubuntu on the desktop instead of having win-7 ?
[15:57] <guest> how do I found out why my hard drive is not mounting properly?
[15:57] <guest> on start it says "the disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present"
[15:57] <imfede> bazhang:  im reading... i find no slution... only a problem
[15:57] <BluesKaj> wer, the only thing I can suggest is to use a live cd as a source for build-essential , but I'm not sure it's even included
[15:57] <tynot> Cool. I'm a Mac user. Is there errata somewhere for me to remote gui into this server, once I've finished installing it?  Something akin to Remote Desktop (tsc) in Windoze?
[15:58] <guest> but SMART passes, and  mount -o rw,remount /dev/sda1 works
[15:58] <guest> but on start it mounts as read-only
[15:58] <bazhang> imfede,  a couple of workarounds though
[15:58] <fancybit> ?
[15:58] <TiK> Nic_: ?
[15:58] <indigo> guest: perhaps /etc/fstab is not accurate?
[15:58] <mayhew> if i'm updating from 9.10 to 10.04 will my settings and programs be messed with?
[15:58] <TiK> Nic_: i guess
[15:58] <guest> indigo, it is.. UUID=bla / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
[15:59] <guest> indigo, is there a way to know why it is mounting as readonly?
[15:59] <grawity> tynot: either VNC (Vino) (which is quite like RDP) or X11-over-SSH (which integrates quite closely with the client desktop)
[15:59] <guest> i.e. what is causing the error?
[15:59] <coz_> oliver_,  meet me in #compiz   maybe one of us can help there
[15:59] <tynot> indigo, and more importantly, does ubuntu server 10.04.1 come with any graphical packages?
[15:59] <hate1> ok im lost how do you paste from clipboard in nano
[15:59] <Nic_> TiK: I think that makes the most sense instead of keeping a big ol' empty space on my computer once I have mint
[15:59] <Nic_> It is making the partitions now, by the way
[15:59] <imfede> bazhang:  someone suggest to change kernel...how can i do it?
[15:59] <Nic_> It takes a looooooooooong time 0_o
[15:59] <tynot> grawity, thanks. i'll look into it.
[15:59] <WinstonSmith> hate1, try shift+insert
[15:59] <sdk_away> wer_: FTP the Debian testing images, I believe they have the full DVD set, and add them to the sources.list  You can use the ubuntu Admin -> software sources tool for that.. it's at least worth a try.
[15:59] <TiK> Nic_: yeah well I just having 2 partitions
[16:00] <oliver_> coz_ ok :)
[16:00] <sdk_away> I really have to do.. Peace.
[16:00] <TiK> Nic_: s/just/like
[16:00] <indigo> tynot: like i said, what's on the ISO is really not important, if you have internet access. The only difference between the server and not-server flavors of ubuntu is the packages they install by default. Once they are installed, they get the same package list online, and can install the same things.
[16:00] <mayhew> Need Help with upgrading Ubuntu from 9.10 to 10.04
[16:00] <wer_> sdk_away: ok
[16:00] <wer_> sdk_away: I am trying sudo apt-get remove build-essential and then again used aptoncd. it detectedit now
[16:01] <wer_> sdk_away: I am trying sudo apt-get remove build-essential and then again used aptoncd. it detected it now
[16:01] <TiK> Nic_: good luck! bbl
[16:01] <Nic_> TiK: Thanks :D
[16:01] <mayhew> if i'm updating from 9.10 to 10.04 will my settings and programs be messed with?
[16:01] <Nic_> TiK: You really have helped, thanks a bunch ^_^
[16:01] <TiK> mayhew: no one is going to help you if you keep repeating yourself try google or forums
[16:02] <tynot> indigo, can you tell I'm not a Linux god? I'd have to research how to do that from  linux's command line. I've gotten so far away from it, I've forgotten how to do most of that, although I could at one time. :)
[16:02] <indigo> mayhew: yes, they will be upgraded. You have a backup of anything important, right?
[16:02] <TiK> Nic_: i run mint on another computer and I like it
[16:02] <wer_> sdk_away: how do I use apton cd on my system wothout internet connection now
[16:02] <wer_> ?
[16:02] <mayhew> thats all ineeded to know. thanks.
[16:02] <guest> indigo, the drive also passes fsck.. this issue only occured after upgrading to lucid
[16:02] <TiK> nic: afkerz
[16:02] <imfede> bazhang:  and here it says that he can't found any network... but my problem is not the same. my pc crashes when i plug the wireless card. it reonigze the network, it tried to connect and then it freeze
[16:03] <corpsicle> hello
[16:03] <Nic_> TiK: My friend uses it, so I wanted to try it anyways :)
[16:03] <indigo> tynot: well, you didn't ask about how to do anything. Easiest way to install packages is with "apt-get install <package>". See the man page, and also apt-cache.
[16:03] <wakan> fr
[16:03] <TiK> Nic_: its just ubuntu with codec's an a windows feel.. my parents use it
[16:03] <indigo> guest: hm, i really don't have any more ideas then
[16:03] <corpsicle> im having some problems with svn and gnome-keyring, it just tells me "could not authenticate to server" ... could it be it has saved my IP somwhere and it has changed ? and thus it cant identify me
[16:04] <guest> indigo, i guess i'll just make the failsafe load it as read/write to workaroudn it :_\
[16:04] <lungan> If I _never_ have wrote a program in my life, and want to learn how to use c++ (or what ever name it is) which is the first book I may read?
[16:04] <jetsaredim> if i'm using vnc to connect to my desktop - is that enough reason for vino-server to be consuming nearly 50% cpu?
[16:05] <tynot> indigo, ha! right? one more thing... do we essentially get the same rudimentary server functionality with ubuntu enterprise cloud plus cloud operability than just a simple ubuntu server build?
[16:06] <indigo> tynot: i've no idea.
[16:07] <smarky> hello
[16:07] <WinstonSmith> !ping
[16:07] <wer_> So finally I am leaving ubuntu forever as there doesn't seem to be a solution at all
[16:07] <bazhang> wer_, to what
[16:08] <indigo> So, anyone have an idea how to get my 9.10 upgrade unstuck from "Processing triggers for menu ..." ?
[16:08] <tynot> indigo, thx anyway. all of our servers are in an existing cloud offsite, but it may be nice to have that functionality down the road, which, again, could be another package install. thx again for the syntactical refresher. peace.
[16:08] <uRock> don't be a troll
[16:08] <wer_> bazhang: may be suse. Even if I use apton cd. How do I get that image working on my instllation without Internet
[16:08] <wer_> ?
[16:08] <bazhang> uRock, what?
[16:08] <uRock> not u
[16:08] <bazhang> uRock, not needed nor appropriate here
[16:08] <GreenDotQ> Hi all
[16:08] <smarky> some one here?
[16:08] <WinstonSmith> !hi
[16:09] <BluesKaj> wer_, use the full dvd as sdk_away suggested
[16:09] <GreenDotQ> can i ask one question about ubuntu?
[16:09] <bazhang> wer_, aptoncd is quite simple to use
[16:09] <WinstonSmith> !ask GreenDotQ
[16:09] <wer_> bazhang: would require another 12 hours to do that then
[16:09] <Nef1> yes tell me
[16:09] <bazhang> wer_, well easily doable. your choice really.
[16:09] <uRock> the problem with aptoncd is the fact you need internet to install it on the machine before you can use it to install everything
[16:10] <GreenDotQ> how to made smaller icons on desktop?
[16:10] <wer_> bazhang: I wrote the image to a cd, but wondering how would I restore that on another machine without apton cd ?
[16:10] <bazhang> wer_, add it to your repos list in the other machine. simple.
[16:10] <hasanibrahim> hello i am in ubuntu-live-cd
[16:11] <wer_> bazhang: you mean the cd ?
[16:11] <uRock> hasanibrahim, and?
[16:11] <hasanibrahim> i want to reedit grup menu but when i try
[16:11] <tynot> indigo, thx!
[16:11] <hasanibrahim> to enter sudo grup command on terminal
[16:11] <wer_> bazhang: can you please tell how do I do that ?
[16:11] <bazhang> wer_, the one that aptoncd generates and you burned yes
[16:11] <GreenDotQ> People! It's real to make a small icons on desktop?
[16:11] <hasanibrahim> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub sudo: grub: command not found
[16:12] <wer_> bazhang: I remember something sudo nano sources.lst but what to add there ?
[16:12] <bazhang> hasanibrahim, grub? or grub2
[16:12] <hasanibrahim> grub2
[16:12] <hasanibrahim> bazhang:
[16:12] <wer_> bazhang: I never added a cd to a repo
[16:12] <bazhang> hasanibrahim, read the wiki yet?
[16:12] <hasanibrahim> i need to restore it. i have just installed windows so i lost
[16:12] <uRock> wer_, you can add a cd via the Software Sources application in the menus
[16:12] <hasanibrahim> bazhang: i read
[16:13] <hasanibrahim> also i printed it
[16:13] <wer_> uRock: ah yes
[16:13] <GreenDotQ> Who here have Ubuntu 9x?
[16:13] <bazhang> wer_, did you install build-essential on the kubuntu machine? as well as aptoncd?
[16:13] <hasanibrahim> but the first stage must be `sudo grub`
[16:13] <hasanibrahim> but its not working
[16:13] <uRock> GreenDotQ, I have it on one machine, what's up?
[16:14] <WinstonSmith> hasanibrahim, shouldnt that be grub-install?
[16:14] <zimnyx> Ubuntu server installer doesn't install Grub in last step if I got hardware raid enabled. I checked and root partition created on RAID has bootable flag set. Any ideas?
[16:14] <wer_> bazhang: build-essential was already there so I did sudo pat-get remove build-essential and then reinstalled it( don't no if it removed all dependencies also) as initially apton cd didn't show up build-essential in package list
[16:14] <wer_> *sudo apt-get
[16:15] <uRock> hasanibrahim, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[16:15] <bazhang> wer_, and created a cd with aptoncd?
[16:15] <wer_> bazhang: is there a way to remove all dependencies of build-esential also and then reinstall it
[16:15] <wer_> bazhang: yes
[16:15] <WinstonSmith> !pt
[16:15] <hasanibrahim> WinstonSmith: i have installed ubuntu; than installwindows ON ubuntu; so i lost grub
[16:16] <WinstonSmith> hasanibrahim, look the link uRock gave you please
[16:16] <WinstonSmith> !ping
[16:17] <imfede> -.-
[16:17] <CyberCr33p> I have an Ubuntu VPS and every time I reboot it the settings on /etc/network/interfaces get lost. Any idea how to fix it ?
[16:17] <bazhang> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/create-backup-of-all-installed-packages-using-aptoncd-in-ubuntu.html wer_ here is a guide with pictures etc
[16:17] <bazhang> WinstonSmith, /msg ubottu please
[16:17] <DoubleString> hey all
[16:18]  * wer_ looks
[16:18] <WinstonSmith> bazhang, with what plz?
[16:18] <bazhang> WinstonSmith, all the !ping etc
[16:19] <GuitarShredder> hi
[16:19] <WinstonSmith> ahh ok so its a PM sorry
[16:19] <WinstonSmith> wont clutter again :O
[16:19] <met_> I'd like to replace °C with "degrees" in the variable, but "$current_temp = [` echo $current_temp | sed 's/\°C/degrees/g' `]" doesn't work
[16:19] <wer_> bazhang: thanks but still the problem remains that whether remove build-essential removed all dependencies
[16:20] <wer_> ?
[16:20] <bazhang> wer_, just reinstall it then to make sure?
[16:21] <wer_> bazhang: I reinstalled it using apt-get but it installed build-esential only and not its dependencies g++ etc
[16:21] <blackdoggy> hi
[16:21] <Polysics> hello
[16:21] <uRock> hi
[16:21] <blackdoggy> can any one help setting up thundre bird
[16:21] <hasanibrahim> WinstonSmith: please check this http://paste.ubuntu.com/484536/
[16:21] <wer_> bazhang: so probably it installed that 7.1 KB only and not it's dependencies
[16:21] <hasanibrahim> which one must i mount
[16:21] <Polysics> anyone knows if wget has an option to report file size only, without download?
[16:22] <uRock> blackdoggy, what email host do you have?
[16:22] <wer_> bazhang: I mean its dependencies are still may not be in aptoncd image
[16:22] <blackdoggy> yahoo
[16:22] <newuserX> hi every
[16:22] <uRock> won't work
[16:22] <cryptide> if i have a rsync command running in a script, and it is still running, how do i tap into what it is spitting out to console?
[16:22] <Janhouse> How can I disable incoming connections (make myself passive) on some ports using iptables?
[16:23] <uRock> Yahoo blocks it unless you have a paid account, blackdoggy
[16:23] <qwd> I'm trying to install Ubuntu to a laptop with usb memory. I used UNetbootin but when I try to boot from the usb memory I get the message "Missing operating system". The usb drive uses FAT32 and has the bootable flag activated. Do I need to format it in any particular way or enable any other flags? What's wrong?
[16:23] <blackdoggy> u rock,  i  m in australia
[16:23] <hasanibrahim> uRock: please check this; i will do the directions on the URL
[16:23] <hasanibrahim> http://paste.ubuntu.com/484536/
[16:23] <hasanibrahim> but which one mut i mount
[16:23] <newuserX> is there a language converter software??
[16:23] <blackdoggy> and it should be free here
[16:23] <WinstonSmith> hasanibrahim, as / for ubuntu?
[16:23] <wer_> newuserX: for what ?
[16:24] <newuserX> like translate.google.com
[16:24] <uRock> the free version doesn't work with t-bird
[16:24] <Nic_> Is it weird that my partitions are still resizing?
[16:24] <newuserX> from Eng. to Italian
[16:24] <Nic_> It has been a while
[16:25] <WinstonSmith> nic_ it takes some time depending on the amount of data present
[16:25] <hasanibrahim> WinstonSmith: i want to have a grub which must show ubuntu and windows on the grub
[16:25] <wer_> bazhang: let me reframe my question: Is there a way to remove a package completely along with its dependencies ?
[16:25] <blackdoggy> so  is there any option?
[16:25] <wer_> newuserX: Google Translate ? not a s/w though
[16:25] <bazhang> wer_, not sure what the issue is. just try reinstalling build-essential and see what the download size is.
[16:25] <Keba> i am attempting to save a mail account using imap and evolution, after setting up this mail account in evolution, downloading the mais and clicking on each mail folder, i have lots of folders in ~/.evolution/mail/imap/$username@$mailserver/folders/ -- but these folders do not contain mails, only a 0 byte big "journal" file
[16:26] <newuserX> Software to convert language .
[16:26] <WinstonSmith> hasanibrahim, maybe join #grub for that
[16:26] <Keba> well, and there is a sqlite file (1.3 mib) entitled "folders.db", but i don't believe all mails are saved in this small db? how to save mail using imap and evolution while keeping the folder structure??
[16:26] <SCD[Eire]> Offtopic: What channel would I go to for help with a banner design?
[16:26] <Nic_> WinstonSmith: In that case I am going to go eat breakfast, hopefull it will be done by now
[16:26] <wer_> bazhang: ah 48 KBs
[16:26] <Nic_> *then
[16:26] <eLdiaBL0> newuserX , you need software?
[16:26] <WinstonSmith> nic good idea bon apetite :)
[16:27] <uRock> hasan, in the LiveCD does running the sudo update-grub work?
[16:27] <wer_> bazhang: rebooting my system for giving it a try. would be back soon :)
[16:27] <azareth> if I have a bash script
[16:28] <azareth> how can I see are there any errors during its execution
[16:28] <WinstonSmith> azareth, instead of bash in the beginning put bash -x
[16:28] <WinstonSmith> on the 1st line of the script
[16:29] <newuserX> ya. on ubuntu
[16:30] <CyberCr33p> I have an Ubuntu VPS and every time I reboot it the settings on /etc/network/interfaces get lost. Any idea how to fix it ?

[16:30] <newuserX> what is this message?
[16:30] <eLdiaBL0> newuserX , why you wont use an online translator ?
[16:31] <azareth> uRock : thanks
[16:31] <uRock> =)
[16:32] <eLdiaBL0> newuserX , it seems that some kind of script has redirected you to an other channel
[16:32] <newuserX> ya. but why??
[16:33] <uRock> 1 out of 3 startings of xchat changes #ubuntu to #ubuntu-unregged
[16:33] <newuserX> I want to join ##php but can't.
[16:33] <eLdiaBL0> newuserX , because of a script
[16:33] <jrib> !register | newuserX
[16:34] <newuserX> so i need to register for it.
[16:34] <eLdiaBL0> newuserX , probably...
[16:34] <uRock> newuserX, they like to do that so it is easier to k-line people
[16:36] <zebul0n> is someone running a webserver on localhost ?
[16:36] <jrib> !anyone | zebul0n
[16:36] <craigbass1976> Isn't there some command to install a lamp server all in one go, rather than the individual packages (apache, php, mysql, etc)
[16:36] <jrib> !lamp | craigbass1976
[16:37] <newuserX> uff
[16:37] <wer_> nazhang: I added apton cd as a repo
[16:37] <zebul0n> u are right :) I went to salestank.com and it displays my localhost directory ! How is that possible ?
[16:37] <Te3-BloodyIron> how do you check from the CLI which groups a user is a member of?
[16:37] <wer_> bazhang: but isn't able to install build-essential from there
[16:37] <wer_> bazhang:
[16:37] <newuserX> uRock: what is k line?
[16:38] <jrib> zebul0n: check your /etc/hosts?
[16:38] <wer_> bazhang: I did sudo apt-get update and them sudo apt-get install build-essential
[16:38] <zebul0n> already checked
[16:38] <jrib> !who | zebul0n
[16:38] <PseudoPodo> Quit
[16:39] <uRock> newuserX, it is a permanent ban of the registered IP from being able to sign into freenode
[16:39] <jrib> zebul0n: well I see a parked domain here.  Maybe it's your router
[16:39] <uRock> quit?
[16:39] <newuserX> So I may be baned permanently??
[16:40] <uRock> they can if you are being bad
[16:40] <wer_> bazhang: it says: Err cdrom://[AptonCD for ubuntu lucid - i386 CD1]/packages/linux-libc-dev_<IP_ADDRESS>.41.-i386.deb File Not Found
[16:40] <zebul0n> jrib, I saw as well, that's why I asked for someone running a webserver localy to check as well

[16:41] <jrib> newuserX: yes...
[16:42] <hasanibrahim> hello again i got this error when i try to rrestore grub
[16:42] <hasanibrahim> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda6 /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR.  This is a BAD idea..
[16:42] <newuserX> that was crazy
[16:42] <uRock> newuserX, also after registering, you can have your IP cloaked, so that it doesn't show your IP in the channels when you sign in
[16:42] <peaces> how can i install sun-java6-jre in a script - i am supposed to accept the license interactively, but that's not an option it has to be fully automated. ?
[16:42] <zebul0n> jrib, can someone running a webserver on localhost check the url salestank.com on his browser to tell me if it displays his local directory, just like it does for me ?
[16:42] <ZykoticK9_nothom> hasanibrahim, sda woule be the MBR of your first drive
[16:42] <mickster04> hasanibrahim: it means it wont get picked when the computer boots up? unless you have another bootloader that can select sda6
[16:43] <jrib> zebul0n: it does not.
[16:43] <blue_anna> peaces, check out expect
[16:43] <jrib> zebul0n: why would it...
[16:43] <ZykoticK9_nothom> peaces, others have asked the same question - i've never seen an answer
[16:43] <zebul0n> jrib, i don't know but it does for me, and I can't understand what's goin on
[16:43] <hasanibrahim> mickster04: /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: if you really want blocklists, use --force.
[16:43] <jrib> zebul0n: what does « host salestank.com » return for you?
[16:44] <hasanibrahim> this is the other error.
[16:44] <newuserX> hay
[16:44] <uRock> is for horses
[16:44] <mickster04> hasanibrahim: just type in setup-grub, you shouldn't nned the /usr/bin/
[16:44] <newuserX>  #css :Cannot send to channel   . what is this?
[16:45] <jrib> newuserX: general channel administration questions are offtopic here, try #freenode
[16:45] <newuserX> ya
[16:45] <zebul0n> jrib: salestank.com has address <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:45] <zebul0n> salestank.com has IPv6 address ::1
[16:45] <zebul0n> ok !!!! it must be an ipv6 problem then !
[16:45] <hasanibrahim> mickster04: i dont want to lost windows on boot. i only want to restore grub2 than i could choose windows and ubuntu
[16:46] <jrib> zebul0n: indeed, note "host" returns the same info for me
[16:46] <wer_> iit really sucks to use ubuntu without an internet connection. We should make this task rather more easy
[16:46] <wer_> uRock: How do I run the script generated by synaptic for package dwnload ?
[16:47] <outer_space> how do i configure chrome to use open source java or sun java?
[16:47] <jrib> zebul0n: that might be a configuration issue on their end?
[16:47] <newuserX> all these chat suck!
[16:47] <peaces> blue_anna: ZykoticK9_nothom: looks like expect will work, found some more info here fyi http://superuser.com/questions/116014/automatically-agree-to-license-agreement-when-using-apt-get-install-sun-java6-jr
[16:47] <zebul0n> jrib: ok, I understand, it only do that whit firefox, not chrome ! that's definitely an ipv6 problem as ::1 is localhost
[16:47] <mickster04> hasanibrahim: well you can install grub onto the normal MBR then it can boot into windows
[16:47] <mickster04> !grub2 | hasanibrahim
[16:47] <jrib> zebul0n: you can disable ipv6 in about:config if you want
[16:47] <blue_anna> peaces, god luck :)

[16:56] <mickster04> medfly: it's changed... I can't remember the bot shortcut
[16:56] <qwd> To anyone curious, I had a problem with booting a USB memory for installing Ubuntu. It was created with UNetbootin and when trying to boot from it I received the message: "Missing operating system". I changed the partition scheme on the USB memory from GUID to MBR, that seems to have done the trick. I also changed file system from FAT32 to FAT16, but I don't think that's what solved anything. Hope this helps someone else.
[16:56] <medfly> ZykoticK9_nothom: ugh -.-
[16:56] <medfly> ZykoticK9_nothom: that's really stupid.
[16:56] <medfly> ZykoticK9_nothom: are you sure that's the way?
[16:56] <ZykoticK9_nothom> medfly, it was changed for "accessibility" reasons actually
[16:57] <OerHeks> qwd use Fat32 for unetbootin.
[16:57] <chrisbuntunerd> sorry everybody about that
[16:57] <Pici> chrisbuntunerd: Thank you for disabling that.
[16:57] <jk_> Te3-BloodyIron, use "cat /etc/group|grep user" with user's name instead of user.
[16:57] <ZykoticK9_nothom> medfly, from cli you could use "sudo service gdm restart" if you prefer
[16:57] <medfly> ZykoticK9_nothom: doesn't seem more accessible to me :P
[16:57] <chrisbuntunerd> was just trying script
[16:57] <chrisbuntunerd> !flood
[16:57] <mickster04> chrisbuntunerd: that was a bad script to run on #ubuntu
[16:57] <medfly> ZykoticK9_nothom: ok, thanks
[16:57] <chrisbuntunerd> mickster04 sorry
[16:57] <Te3-BloodyIron> jk_: thx
[16:58] <chrisbuntunerd> ubuntu-offtopic we go
[16:58] <mickster04> chrisbuntunerd: :D tis ok...just be a bit more careful in future
[16:58] <qwd> medfly: go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layouts -> Options -> Key sequence to kill X Server
[16:58] <medfly> ok so unfortunately that doesn't seem to help. I have these really random issues, and I'm sure it'd be resolved if I just reboot it'd work fine...
[16:58] <medfly> but I'm not used to needing it on linux! :P
[16:58] <qwd> OerHeks: Is there a particular reason I should reformat the usb memory and do it again? It booted up fine, I didn't start the install though since I need to backup everything on the laptop first.
[16:59] <OerHeks> qwd did you check the .iso with Md5Sum before using it ?
[16:59] <vicpeng> Te3-BloodyIron, just use groups
[16:59] <medfly> qwd: thanks
[16:59] <OerHeks> qwd, yes, unetbootin requires Fat32
[16:59] <medfly> I sure hope a reboot magically fixes this.
[17:00] <qwd> OerHeks: Nope. The problem is solved though, I just shared my solution. From a quick google there doesn't seem to be any problem with FAT16 and UNetbootin
[17:00]  * peaces > peace
[17:00] <qwd> medfly: that's not really a reboot though, only restarts the x server

[17:02] <sdasda>  hello I am newbie for lubuntu and have the following problems 1) I have connected my old laptop to my LCD via the s-video and the picture is jittering and almost can't see a thing 2) how do I enable remote desktop in lubuntu ?
[17:03] <eugb> hi all.  i'm having an issue with xorg in ubuntu 10.04
[17:03] <eugb> just installed a new microsoft wireless optical mouse; and it's behaving strangely and causing xorg CPU to spike
[17:03] <mickster04> sdasda: you have to enable remote desktop on your pc, though i can't remember where those settings are, not sure about the s-video problem
[17:05] <medfly> qwd: I know that, but restarting X didn't work.
[17:07] <sdasda> anyone know how to enable remote desktop in lubuntu ???

[17:08] <rethus> thats not the question, but i need it for development of older applications
[17:08] <jpds> xzil0: I..... really don't think that's supported anymore.

[17:11] <hydra__> fanjabi check if your video driver has a sync to vsync option or something like that
[17:11] <d3v0> i cant seem to change my password in xubuntu, when i press esc during the reset, nothing happens
[17:11] <kickingintender> how does ubuntu server contest in the world of servers versions like suse enterprise and RHEL
[17:11] <jk_> d3v0, press left shift during the boot sequence to get the grub menu
[17:11] <d3v0> ok thanks

[17:13] <cryptide> fuck off floodbot
[17:13] <fanjabi> rethus: you want only php?
[17:14] <rethus> fanjabi: i need php4 and php5 on same server, but i can't find php4
[17:14] <hydra__> fanjabi you should have "system -> preferences -> ati catalyst control center (administrative)"
[17:14] <rethus> for 10.04
[17:14] <jpds> rethus: Because it's dead and not supported-upstream; thus it's not in the archives.
[17:14] <rethus> where can i get it
[17:14] <jpds> rethus: You'll have to go back and grab a package from an older release.
[17:14] <mickster04> rethus: i would have thought php5 does all the stuff php4 did?
[17:15] <jpds> kickingintender: FWIW, for it's young age, Ubuntu is pretty popular on the server.
[17:15] <haylothrat246> free smarties
[17:15] <jpds> mickster04: There are some changes which break things.
[17:15] <rethus>  mickster04: no it doesn't ... it doesn't have the incompatibility to the cms-systems that i have to fix :D
[17:15] <haylothrat246> get my
[17:15] <mickster04> haylothrat246: can we help you?
[17:15] <haylothrat246> no
[17:15] <Nic_> It is still resizing!?
[17:16] <rethus> can i use older packages, or have i to compile it myself?
[17:16] <Nic_> I am trying to shrink my partition and create a new one for backup, but it has been at least an hour and it still hasn't resized :(
[17:16] <Nic_> Holycrap, it JUST finished :o
[17:17] <n0a1ias> hey, is wine the program i would use to install crisis?
[17:17] <Nic_> Ok, at least I know it is moving along now :)
[17:17] <hydra__> can anyone tell me why ping -I <IP_ADDRESS> google.com would send packets out eth0 when eth1 has the interface address <IP_ADDRESS> and eth0 is <IP_ADDRESS>???
[17:17] <Nic_> n0a1ias: Good luck with that ;)
[17:17] <jpds> rethus: Only one way to find out if older packages work... trying them. :)
[17:17] <n0a1ias> nic, is it possible?
[17:17] <mickster04> rethus: http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/56910/PHP4.html will this help?
[17:17] <CyberCr33p> does the vncserver on ubuntu 9.x replaced by vnc4server on ubuntu 10.x ?
[17:18] <mickster04> rethus: its 4.4.9?
[17:18] <rethus> yes, thanks
[17:18] <hydra__> rethus you might be better of getting php4 as source and building it, that way you wont have library dependency problems
[17:19] <mickster04> n0a1ias: ermmm. kinda of yes, but wine is more of an emulator and as such isn't that good at games... the specs required by crisis are high on a native OS...so through wine it will be vrey slow...
[17:20] <n0a1ias> mickster04, hmm, is there any other way?
[17:20] <spunk> anyone tried e4defrag with success?
[17:20] <sdasda> anyone know how to start vnc server in lubuntu ?
[17:21] <mickster04> spunk: if you use ext4 formatting for your hd you wont need a defragger
[17:21] <mickster04> sdasda: system>preferencecs>remote...
[17:22] <spunk> mickster04, really? Will any sort of defragging take place in the background?
[17:22] <_chun> If I have a package installed on a networked machine, is it possible to install it from there rather than re-downloading it?
[17:22] <n0a1ias> what does catman do?
[17:23] <n0a1ias> wait, nm. ill use man
[17:23] <mickster04> spunk: it's a journalling file system, so it looks after the stuff itself..every so often you get a consistency check when you boot ubuntu, thats when it does it
[17:23] <mickster04> !ext4
[17:24] <spunk> mickster04, I see. So bringing a disk offline and then perform a fsck will effectively defrag an ext4 partition?
[17:25] <mickster04> spunk: well i dunno how it does it. but you should google ext4 for more understanding, ubottu doesn't know anything about ext4 and has little to say about ext3
[17:25] <n0a1ias> ok so the man page on catman is nonsense.
[17:26] <spunk> mickster04, ok, thanks.
[17:26] <mickster04> n0a1ias: what do you do with catman?
[17:27] <n0a1ias> mickster04, i'm not shure, i saw it on a tab list and im trying to lean
[17:27] <n0a1ias> learn**
[17:28] <tynot> anyone, please, the syntax to download a kde xwindow package for ubuntu server? or, at least... the command line syntax to search the local or online package directories?
[17:28] <mickster04> tynot: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop (i think)
[17:29] <mickster04> tynot: if you use the tab key it can autocomplete to things that excist

[17:43] <Strife89> Hello, I got a reply on the bug tracker, but I'm not exactly sure what the writer is suggesting I do. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/382806/comments/17

[17:44] <mickster04> tynot: ask in #ubuntu-server

[17:50] <Pici> denysonique: Er, thats not going to work in Ubuntu.

[17:50] <mickster04> darkjoker: yeah that
[17:50] <mickster04> darkjoker: sorry wrong guy
[17:51] <Divecks> Okay thanks guys will do.
[17:51] <tynot> denysonique, que? "emerge kde"? that a command? what's the proper syntax?
[17:51] <Pici> tynot: Its not a valid command for Ubuntu.
[17:51] <Pici> tynot: What version of Ubuntu are you running? Have you run   sudo apt-get update   lately?
[17:52] <tynot> 10.04.1?
[17:52] <Nic_> I am trying to format this disc, but windows is telling me it is "write protected"
[17:52] <tynot> no, pici
[17:52] <tynot> doing it now
[17:52] <Divecks> Wow that worked impressively well. Thanks oCean_ mickster04 Jordan_U
[17:52] <mickster04> Divecks: tis ok
[17:52] <mickster04> Divecks: :P
[17:53] <tynot> think I see the issue...
[17:53] <tynot> can't resolve security.ubuntu.com
[17:53] <wx9j> I get an error trying to run fsck on a second drive, here is the output. The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
[17:53] <wx9j> filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
[17:53] <wx9j> filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
[17:53] <wx9j> is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
[17:53] <wx9j>     e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
[17:53] <FloodBot3> wx9j: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:54] <VanessaE> hi all.  I finally moved my last machine to Lucid a few days ago (clean install on a freshly formatted disk) and am getting kernel panics now - can't call it "frequent" as the time between them is quite random.
[17:54] <wx9j> can anyone help me besides the hall monitor telling me what not to do ?
[17:54] <Divecks> Interesting.. but now the .exes (this is a windows disk for use with wine) aren't "+x'd", and therefore Wine can't execute them. And I can't chmod/chown the files because it's a read only FS.. Hmm.
[17:54] <tynot> I setup DNS, but it doesn't seem to be running properly. we're pulling it from our provider, at the moment.
[17:54] <bazhang> wx9j, then pastebin the errors
[17:55] <mickster04> Divecks: copy paste
[17:55] <tynot> ifconfig doesn't reveal dns settings, only IP and subnet mask
[17:55] <wx9j> bazhang, not sure what that means, I tried pasting the output before
[17:55] <Divecks> mickster04, I was afraid of that. :D But I'll do it.
[17:55] <mickster04> !paste
[17:55] <tynot> #ubuntu-server
[17:56] <mickster04> tynot: /join #ubuntu server
[17:56] <mickster04> tynot: /join #ubuntu-server
[17:56] <tynot> yup, mickster04, doing it now. thx.
[17:56] <Nic_> Hello?
[17:56] <Jordan_U> Divecks: Wine should still allow you to run "wine /path/to/exe" even if it doesn't have execute permissions.
[17:57] <Nic_> I need some help: I am trying to format a disc so I can write a live CD to it, but it is telling me that the CD is "write protected"
[17:57] <wx9j> the superblock on my second drive is not able to be read ? can I correct this without loosing all the data on the drive ?
[17:59] <itsux2bu> Nic_, is it cd-r or cd-rw?
[17:59] <Nic_> itsux2bu: I am not sure :(
[17:59] <Nic_> It came from ubuntu, though
[17:59] <Nic_> The CD
[17:59] <itsux2bu> Nic_, ou know the difference?
[18:00] <Duke_Harris> hey guys, I have a problem on ubuntu lucid. I deleted the generic linux-headers folder in /usr/src because I messed up some files in it. I thought after reinstalling linux-headers-generic the folder would appear again, but it doesn't. How do I get the generic linux headers folder back?
[18:00] <itsux2bu> Nic_, you have a ubuntu cd?
[18:00] <Nic_> itsux2bu: It is a LiveCD for an old version of ubuntu, and I am trying to format it
[18:00] <Nic_> But it is saying it is "write protected"
[18:00] <itsux2bu> Nic_, you shouldn't need to format it
[18:01] <trism> Duke_Harris: linux-headers-generic is just a meta package, you would need to reinstall the actual headers package for your current kernel
[18:01] <mickster04> Nic_: its not rewriteable
[18:01] <Nic_> itsux2bu: I want to clear it so I can add the LiveCD image for Linux Mint
[18:01] <itsux2bu> Nic_, why format it?
[18:01] <Nic_> I thought that clears it?
[18:01] <Nic_> So I need to buy a blank CD
[18:01] <mickster04> Nic_: no you can empty a cd which does the same thing
[18:01] <itsux2bu> Nic_, its most likely a cd-r
[18:01] <Duke_Harris> ah ok i'll try that @trism
[18:02] <mickster04> Nic_: yeah, cd-r is once write cd-rw is multiple writes (afte ryou clear it each time)
[18:02] <itsux2bu> Nic_, cd-r can only be written to once
[18:02] <Nic_> I don't have any CDs :(
[18:02] <mickster04> Nic_: unlucky
[18:02] <itsux2bu> cd-rw = r=read, w=write
[18:02] <trism> Duke_Harris: such as linux-headers-2.6.32-24-generic if you have an up-to-date lucid install
[18:03] <Nic_> That stinks :(
[18:03] <itsux2bu> if cd-r, read only or "write protected"..  if cd-rw, read and write
[18:03] <mickster04> trism: try running update-grub
[18:03] <Nic_> I have a USB drive, can't I use that as a LiveCD?
[18:03] <mickster04> Nic_: yes
[18:03] <mickster04> !liveusb
[18:04] <trism> mickster04: why?
[18:04] <Duke_Harris> trism, thanks, worked well
[18:05] <x-ip> 10.04.1 is the beta version from the next release ? :)
[18:06] <duffydack> I just upgraded my xorg and fglrx from the xorg ppa but I`m not sure if its using the newer fglrx.. CCC says software driver version 8.723 but the newer one, which is there  in dkms is 8.762.  how can I verify the driver loaded is the newer version..
[18:07] <trism> x-ip: no, 10.04.1 is the first maintenance update to the 10.04 lts release, I don't know why they list it on the maverick schedule
[18:09] <x-ip> thanks trism  =)
[18:09] <Nic_> That worked! :O
[18:09] <Nic_> Thanks! :)
[18:09] <x-ip> so its stable and safe to install 10.04.1 right ? :)

[18:14] <Fredrick> how do i configure this ubuntu as a proxy server?
[18:14] <jellow> !squid  | Fredrick
[18:15] <grayhane> the superblock on my second drive is corrupt, I really need that data, how can I fix this without losing everything ?
[18:15] <mickster04> is there a non-caching proxy for ubuntu?
[18:15] <kthakore> my wireless is showing disabled
[18:15] <kthakore> and the button to enable it is not working
[18:15] <Jordan_U> grayhane: Have you tried fsck? There should be back up super blocks to restore from.
[18:16] <Fredrick> no, the kind of proxy server that lets me check my email at work.
[18:16] <kthakore> lshw shows *-network DISABLED
[18:16] <grayhane> Jordan_U,  I ran fsck, it says block cannot be read,
[18:16] <mickster04> Fredrick: that doesn't make sense
[18:16] <Jordan_U> grayhane: Can you pastebin the exact error?
[18:17] <jellow> Fredrick: This is what squid enables you to do also there are ssh tunnels
[18:17] <mickster04> Fredrick: a proxy is a proxy
[18:17] <kthakore> anyone?
[18:17] <Fredrick> oh, thanks
[18:17] <jellow> Fredrick: also openvpn but this is over kill :P
[18:19] <grayhane> Jordan_U, it told me to run a command and the result was null. is there any disk utility programs that might help me ?
[18:19] <jellow> Fredrick: i recommend you look up the ubuntu documentaion and come back with any problems , Good luck ;P
[18:19] <Jordan_U> grayhane: Can you pastebin the exact error?
[18:19] <Fredrick> so i can download this, then at work go to a website and use that to check my email with out it being able to be seen?
[18:20] <blackshell> how do i automate a task in ubuntu?

[18:20] <Fredrick> aol
[18:20] <mickster04> ...
[18:20] <jellow> Fredrick: Your network admin will be able to see what you are doing of course
[18:21] <grayhane> Jordan_U, not sure how to do that, each time I past here a hall monitor chews me out
[18:21] <mickster04> Fredrick: you could just wait until after work for emails...?

[18:22] <mickster04> ActionParsnip: no, aol
[18:22] <jellow> Fredrick: but yes essentialy you set up a squid server on your home computer and at connect throught it at work to see your emails/
[18:22] <IdleOne> blackshell: well if you write a script but no.
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> mickster04: ah, I see
[18:22] <blackshell> IdleOne:shell script?
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> mickster04: ssh access to aol maybe, via putty etc
[18:22] <IdleOne> blackshell: yeah
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> mickster04: maybe..
[18:22] <Fredrick> hmm, remember being in school and they would have some sites blocked? and you could use a proxy server to get around that? my work has blocked most of them and i don't want to have to find a new one every day so i want my own
[18:22] <grayhane> !paste | grayhane
[18:23] <mickster04> !vpn | Fredrick
[18:23] <blackshell> IdleOne:shell script can simulate clicks?any info on that?
[18:23] <IdleOne> blackshell: if I am correct you are looking for a macro application
[18:23] <jellow> Fredrick: i would not use a public proxy for anything private
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> Fredrick: if its aol chat you could use bitlbee to chat on aol via irssi using putty
[18:24] <blackshell> IdleOne:kind of
[18:24] <IdleOne> blackshell: take a look at g15macro it is in the repositories
[18:24] <mickster04> Fredrick: just go to an internet cafe at lunch?

[18:25] <grayhane> I have yet to get help with a question here, just a bunch of hall momitor bots. what a waste
[18:25] <IdleOne> blackshell: that might not be what you are looking for
[18:25] <blackshell> IdleOne:doesnt seem a good solution,
[18:26] <blackshell> IdleOne:anyway of doing it in shell script?
[18:26] <IdleOne> blackshell: I wouldn't know how sorry
[18:26] <Scunizi> when running 64 bit is the default Firefox also 64 bit or is it 32 bit running on top of 64 with the appropriate libraries?
[18:26] <Carleas> Can I remote install Ubuntu desktop from one Mac to another?
[18:26] <aeon-ltd> Scunizi: depends which versio you installed :)
[18:26] <mickster04> Carleas: i dont think so
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: yes the browser will be 64bit. You can install 32bit browsers in 64bit ubuntu
[18:27] <Jordan_U> Scunizi: 64 bit, using nspluginwrapper for 32 bit only plugins like flash.
[18:27] <Scunizi> aeon-ltd: in Kubuntu there is a menu option to install FF but I don't know which version
[18:27] <jellow> Just compilied latest verion of ruby on jaunty , When i run gem i get this error http://pastebin.com/YFGbEp83
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: you can use the 64bit flash ppa and install 64bit java manually to get native 64bit plugins rather than using nspluginwrapper
[18:27] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: Jordan_U  so the 32 bit version is available in the repos on a 64 bit machine?
[18:27] <mickster04> jellow: the lack of responce prolly means no
[18:27] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: are they stable?
[18:28] <Carleas> So, to make a laptop run ubuntu desktop, I need either a DVD or a USB?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi:yes its fine. The 64bit is 10.0 flash
[18:28] <Nic_> Finally, I am a mint user :D
[18:28] <hellosugaree> anybody had display issues with netbooks
[18:28] <ashka> hey
[18:28] <hellosugaree> ?
[18:28] <Nic_> Bye Ubuntu!
[18:28] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: and Java.. the sun-java version in the repos for 64 bit *isn't* 64 bit?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: if you install ia32-libs you can run firefox 32bit. I think there's also a guide or two online for firefox32
[18:28] <mickster04> Carleas: well yeah...how else is it gonna work?
[18:29] <Oer> !anyone | hellosugaree
[18:29] <ashka> is it possible to print with awk element $3 and all the others after $3 ?
[18:29] <mickster04> Nic_: fail, mint is basede on ubuntu
[18:29] <jellow> mickster04: no harm in trying , I'd rather not re-compilie and waste another hour
[18:29] <Nic_> mickster04: I know :P
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: no the repo uses 32bit. 64bit can be installed using the .run file at www.java.com
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> !find firefox32
[18:29] <Carleas> mickster04: Remotely?  Ethernet?  Can I install from another mac if I connect through USB?
[18:29] <Nic_> mickster04: Still, I am no longer using ubuntu :3
[18:30] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: ah.. ok.. that might be one of my issues with an online app I need for work..
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: how do you mean?
[18:30] <linuxR> hi all, I'm trying a dist-upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04, but it says i have not enough disk space. I have a 3G root partition and a 15G /home partition, this was suggested by 9.10. Will it help if I clean some data on /home in order to gain some disk space?
[18:30] <Weust`> hi, i run a ubuntu desktop at a mate's house to use mdadm, what is the config file to let the powerbutton init 0 ?
[18:31] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: I have an online work app that uses java.. It loads and allows me to get to a certain point then crashes.
[18:31] <aeon-ltd> linuxR: no / root is the problem
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> linuxR: remove ubuntu-docs and old kernels. Can save a tonne of space
[18:31] <aafuentes> hi, when i try to install iceweasel it says "Package iceweasel is not available, but is referred to by another package" how do i install it?
[18:31] <linuxR> aeon-ltd, but on / I have no personal data...and only 450 m of 3G free :(
[18:32] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: Why are you trying to install Iceweasel? Do you know about the differences between Iceweasel and Firefox?
[18:32] <xangua> aafuentes: why not just use firefox¿
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: try the native 64bit. Run the app. Copy the java folder to /opt then symlink the .so file to your browsers plugins folder
[18:32] <dp> the wbar package in lucid seems to have a problem: http://pastebin.dp.cx/pastebin.php?show=294089 -- can anyone confirm?
[18:32] <aafuentes> sebsebseb, and xangua, i like to have more than one browser installed... (besides, firefox is bloated with tabs now, and i cant barely open it)
[18:32] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: k.. I'll have to tackle that later but will give it a try.
[18:33] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: ok uhmm
[18:33] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: sounds like you don't quite understand what Iceweasel is then, so i'll explain :)
[18:33] <aafuentes> u.U
[18:33] <Fredrick> im having trouble installing squid, if extracted it to a folder in my desktop, and cd'd into that folder
[18:33] <aafuentes> its a firefox with the branded changed
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: it will also need to be manually updated but its no biggy, remove folder, remove link, repeat install process
[18:33] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: Ubuntu is based on Debian, but Firefox wasn't free software enough for them, since the branding and such, so they make Iceweasel
[18:33] <aafuentes> but it used different folders, cant i have both installed?
[18:34] <aafuentes> they*
[18:34] <mickster04> aafuentes: yes but it is jus as bloated
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: there's icecat now which is what iceweasel has become
[18:34] <GORE-Daddy_> Can someone advise me on the following:  The upgrade manager says that "New distribution release '10.04.01 LTS is availbable"  and "Upgrade" in the radio button.  When I start the upgrade I get the message AMD fglrx driver not supported.  You will loose desktop quality, etc.  Is this a problem and should I go ahead and upgrade?:
[18:34] <aafuentes> mickster04, firefox is not bloated for me... its only bloated with tabs right now :)
[18:34] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: the code that makes Iceweasel is the same as Firefox, and then teh difference is the branding and I guess user agent string as well.  So Iceweasel is very nearly Firefox.  99% Firefox if you like
[18:34] <sebsebseb> ActionParsnip: Iceweasel has been re named?
[18:35] <mickster04> GORE-Daddy_: yes go ahead, you can install new drivers once updated
[18:35] <Fredrick> im having trouble installing squid, if extracted it to a folder in my desktop, and cd'd into that folder
[18:35] <mickster04> Fredrick: you can sudo apt-0get squid
[18:35] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: as for FIrefox in Ubuntu uhmm yes, there can be slowness issues, Flash is a likely cause of that
[18:35] <aafuentes> u.U i cant install iceweasel anyway, can you? from the repositories?
[18:35] <mickster04> Fredrick: you can sudo apt-get squid
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> GORE-Daddy_: you will need to remove the driver. The xorg version in lucid with your video chip may not fly
[18:35] <GORE-Daddy_> Where do I get them?  Or will the system hunt them?
[18:35] <Fredrick> oh, sweet. thanks
[18:35] <mickster04> aafuentes: get chrome thats light :P
[18:35] <linuxR> how can I get a list of currently installed packages with apt/synaptic?
[18:35] <Guptan> I'd a Wubi installation of 10.4. I updated latest security patches and software updates when system prompted me to do so. After reboot I'm ended up with Grub rescue screen. What should I do to get Ubuntu and Windows running?
[18:35] <xangua> aafuentes: of you want firefox with no brand in ubuntu then install 'abrowser' ; you can also add a PPA to install icecat (the modified firefox that the FSF recomends)
[18:35] <kthakore> I disabled the wifi in asus but I cannot reenable it now. Is therea software way to enable?
[18:36] <mickster04> GORE-Daddy_: the system will after you have inished updating
[18:36] <mickster04> kthakore: bios settings
[18:36] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: Firefox is great, but it doesnt' always work as well as it should in Ubuntu for various reasons, but there are quite a few other good browsers that can be used instead.  Or you could install Firefox directly from them, and it might work a bit better.
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> sebsebseb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_IceCat
[18:36] <aafuentes> sebsebseb, flash and not different process for each tab... when one tab crash.. (witch is quite often for me) the whole broser freezes... i beg for this to be changed for ff4
[18:36] <GORE-Daddy_> Will teh upgrade remove the driver and revert to a generic one?
[18:36] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: oh right ok that
[18:36] <aafuentes> mickster04, ive got chrome just as bloated... i need a third browser installed
[18:36] <Cinux`> Hi, I want to install OpenGL on ubuntu. What are the Package I have to install? Is there a tool which can hel me to see what king of softs are installable?
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> aafuentes: that's how chrome works :)
[18:37] <mickster04> GORE-Daddy_: yes
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Cinux`: do you want to develop 3D models?
[18:37] <mickster04> aafuentes: chromium i meant
[18:37] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: I am on another distro, and the FIrefox I got here seems to have that feature :)  anyway on the subject of Firefox 4
[18:37] <Cinux`> ActionParsnip: Yes
[18:37] <aafuentes> mickster04, ive got both, chromium and chrome installed... but i wanted iceweasel as well
[18:37] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: well its just a browser so it will be pretty stable really,  you can get the Firefox 4  beta from Mozilla, and use that, if you want
[18:37] <GORE-Daddy_> O.K., here goes nothing!
[18:38] <GORE-Daddy_> Thanks.
[18:38] <dsfs> how to tell if bytecode interpreter is compiled into xft?
[18:38] <aafuentes> nah sebsebseb ill wait for ff4 stable ;)
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> Cinux`: blender is one solution
[18:38] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: and the feature where Firefox doesn't just mess up, when a plugin crahses, I think is already there
[18:38] <mickster04> aafuentes: well i find chromium nice indeed..better than ff but icecat wont be much better
[18:38] <aafuentes> im not in that hurry, besides, i think they didnt change the different process per tab as i want, so...
[18:38] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: as for Chromeium I  am not much of a fan, and there are other great browsers you can use instead :)
[18:38] <Cinux`> ActionParsnip: I want to try to build a tetris
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> aafuentes: you can install it from the mozilla ppa. It will be a seperate app so you can keep your current browser and have 4 as an option
[18:39] <aafuentes> u.u, i dont need a better browser
[18:39] <aafuentes> i dont really trust ppa ActionParsnip
[18:39] <aafuentes> :)
[18:39] <kthakore> mickster04: there are no bios settigns for  wifi in asus
[18:39] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: Arora uses webkit like Chromium for disaplying pages and is quite good really.   Webkit is based on KHTML what Konqueror uses, Konqueror is nice, and I think it can use Webkit now.
[18:39] <kthakore> what is the software that disables and enable?
[18:39] <aafuentes> is there a way to install iceweasel from the repositories?
[18:39] <adalal> anyone knows why I can't get any cpufreq information on my computer? nor are the acpi utils working.. the comp is runnin on AMD
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> aafuentes: your call. Its pretty handy
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: disables and enab les WHAT?
[18:40] <mickster04> kthakore: I use and asus eeepc and yes there is
[18:40] <sebsebseb> aafuentes: and Epiphany and Galeon are quite nice as well and so on, and no I don't think Iceweasel is in the Ubuntu repo since Firefox
[18:40] <kthakore> ActionParsnip: the wireless
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> adalal: less /proc/cpuinfo ,maybe
[18:40] <mickster04> Cinux`: what do you mean build a tetris?
[18:40] <aafuentes> ActionParsnip, what assure you a ppa has not malicious code? nothing, thats what
[18:40] <kthakore> mickster04: ok Iwill try again
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: you can rmmod and modprobe the module to turn it off and on (I believe)
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> aafuentes: I believe it is maintained by mozilla
[18:41] <Cinux`> mickster04: I'm learning programation with c++ and I want to try something like a tetris
[18:41] <adalal> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/ewGte80f
[18:41] <kthakore> mickster04: ok I am in advanaced tab
[18:41] <aafuentes> ActionParsnip, that would change things then ;)
[18:41] <kthakore> mickster04: no wireless
[18:41] <mickster04> Cinux`: try with something easier first i recon...look at code blocks for an IDE asx well
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> aafuentes: I've used it on slews of system and solved countless firefox issues on launchpad, simply by advising users add it
[18:41] <mickster04> kthakore: its under onboard devices
[18:42] <Guptan> Any help?  I don't know, how to do that but eventually the people in ##windows can help you with that.
[18:42] <kthakore> mickster04: I have Main Advanced Security Boot Save & Exit
[18:43] <Sardinian> HI ALL
[18:43] <vigge_sWe> hey
[18:43] <mickster04> kthakore: look in each of those for "onboard"
[18:43] <Fredrick> how do i use squid? i cant get to the prompt in terminal
[18:43] <sebsebseb> Guptan: much better in the long run to use a proper partitioned install by the way of any Desktop Linux distro, be that Ubuntu, or something else
[18:43] <Guptan> sebsebseb: Yes I'd a working wubi installation. Then software updates installed grub-pc along with it
[18:43] <adalal> anyone knows why I can't get any cpufreq information on my computer? nor are the acpi utils working.. the comp is runnin on AMD.. here's the output for /proc/cpuinfo .. http://pastebin.com/ewGte80f
[18:43] <vigge_sWe> how can I keep the content of the clipboard when closing the window I copied the text from?
[18:43] <mickster04> Fredrick: try a browser
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> aafuentes: jst because its maintained by them doesn't guaruntee its malicious code free in any way
[18:43] <sebsebseb> Guptan: so Grub got updated, and messed up?
[18:43] <Guptan> sebsebseb: yeah i think so
[18:44] <Cinux`> mickster04: Okay. But I would like to try some stuffs on open GL ... :/
[18:44] <aafuentes> ActionParsnip, is not a tinfoil hat... i just think there is no need not to playing safe
[18:44] <VCoolio> vigge_sWe: don't know, but try a clipboard manager like parcellite
[18:44] <sebsebseb> Guptan: ok why were you doing Wubi?  rather than installing from a Live CD by the way?
[18:44] <Guptan> sebsebseb: my cd writer was not working then :)
[18:44] <trism> ashka: awk '{$1=$2=""; print $0}' seems to work
[18:44] <mickster04> Cinux`: well codeblocks will help you i think
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> aafuentes: true but if you play too safe you lose out on stuff. Like latest vlc, transmission etc
[18:45] <kthakore> mickster04: nope nothing ...
[18:45] <sebsebseb> Guptan: i'll look at the bug link that LibertyZero gave
[18:45] <sebsebseb> Guptan: hold on
[18:45] <mickster04> kthakore: well what asus do you have?
[18:45] <Guptan> sebsebseb:okz
[18:45] <adalal> anyone knows why I can't get any cpufreq information on my computer? nor are the acpi utils working.. the comp is runnin on AMD.. here's the output for /proc/cpuinfo .. http://pastebin.com/ewGte80f
[18:45] <aafuentes> ActionParsnip, and it changes a little if its mantained by them... at least i know some1 from the team (some1 that the teams has trust on) has checked the checksums for the code... thats not that big tinfoil hat, is it?
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> aafuentes: maybe, depends how paranoid you are
[18:45] <ashka> it works. thanks trism
[18:45] <kthakore> mickster04: asus g51jx-a1
[18:45] <ashka> bye
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> adalal: now you know your exact cpu make / model you may find guides
[18:46] <_BEAST> B-)
[18:46] <aafuentes> ActionParsnip, there is no need to be on the edge on your main system really... plenty of things to play without doing so ;)
[18:47] <Cinux`> mickster04: I'll install it and try.. Thanks
[18:47] <sebsebseb> Guptan: ok I understand that, you probably don't quite just yet
[18:48] <sebsebseb> wow LibertyZero that bug sucks
[18:48] <Guptan> sebsebseb: any chance to get it working again?
[18:48] <sebsebseb> Guptan: Have you got a Windows CD or DVD?
[18:48] <Guptan> sebsebseb: seems like I will require windows installation CD
[18:48] <mickster04> kthakore: and the bios is up to date?
[18:48] <Guptan> sebsebseb: Nope
[18:48] <sebsebseb> Guptan: ah
[18:49] <iGO> hi, how to edit screen resolution in ubuntu 10.4?
[18:49] <Guptan> sebsebseb: any other work arounds?
[18:49] <iGO> cant find xorg.conf
[18:49] <mickster04> iGO: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:49] <sacarlson> iGO: you can change it in preference>monitors
[18:50] <iGO> it only gives me 1 resolution. and i cant find xorg.conf in folder X11 :s
[18:50] <sacarlson> iGO:  did you try System>administation>hardware ?
[18:50] <sebsebseb> Guptan: right lets go pm,  since I will go a bit off topic,  and then if I can't help, you can ask here again
[18:50] <mickster04> iGO: could you pastebin the output of ls when in that folder?
[18:50] <mgt_90> iGO: That's because Ubuntu doesn't have xorg.conf by default anymore. You have to create it.
[18:51] <Jordan_U> mickster04: It's normal for there to be no xorg.conf
[18:51] <iGO> igo@xk001:/etc/X11$ ls
[18:51] <iGO> app-defaults             rgb.txt             Xreset      Xsession.d

[18:52] <axisys> I have a laptop with intel core 2 duo 2.4Ghz and 8GB ram and 750GB disk .. I like to install ubuntu 64bit w/ LVM.. anyone know of a url w/ howto ? i want to put multiple VMs on it and use as my private cloud and use hadoop .. any suggestions on how should I go by doing it? i am thinking install ubuntu desktop and then virtualbox and go that path
[18:52] <sacarlson> mgt_90: and if you create that file does it function?  I thought it was just overwriten if hardware change.  but that's just a myth
[18:52] <X-Sleepy-X> Hi! I've got a question regarding CPU scaling. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on my Eee PC 900 which has a Celeron processor. I've added the applet to control CPU scaling with to the panel and I've added p4-clockmod to /etc/modules. This has enabled me to select a certain frequency and use the Performance and the Powersave modes. However, I'm unable to select the Ondemand and the Conservative mode since it's only kicking back to Performan
[18:52] <X-Sleepy-X> ce mode whenever I try to do so. I've been searching Google for hours trying to find a solution but I haven't found one. Is there anyone here who knows what might be causing this or perhaps knows how to fix it?
[18:52] <seekwill> axisys: Why vbox?
[18:52] <kthakore> mickster04: I think so I just got the laptop on monday
[18:52] <kthakore> mickster04: how do I check?
[18:52] <seekwill> axisys: Just stick the DVD in, and click install :P
[18:53] <mgt_90> sacarlson: Haven't tried it myself, but it should work, albeit a bit easily.
[18:53] <Jordan_U> axisys: You need to use the alternate install CD for LVM, but it's pretty straightforward.
[18:53] <axisys> Jordan_U: ok..
[18:53] <kthakore> BIOS 204
[18:53] <mgt_90> sacarlson: *messily, not easily.
[18:53] <axisys> seekwill: i want to install multiple VMs .. vbox seems pretty easy
[18:53] <axisys> seekwill: should i rather go with kvm ?
[18:54] <sacarlson> mgt_90: I see many that would like to boot a system with not so well suported video card.  is there a way to force vesa all the way into the x11 state?
[18:54] <seekwill> axisys: KVM works a bit more efficient, if your CPU supports virtualization
[18:54] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: Add "xforcevesa" as a kernel parameter.
[18:54] <cristi> can anyone help me with my laptop webcam? the image appears reversed, so i suspect it was mounted wrong
[18:54] <axisys> seekwill: it does support virtualization
[18:54] <jenda> axisys: I don't know if it will fit your needs, but I use vbox to virtualize an XP machine for several Windows apps I need and it's perfect for that.
[18:54] <dsfs> how to tell if bytecode interpreter is compiled into xft?
[18:54] <sacarlson> mgt_90: sorry I put you on that line.  wasn't ment to point at you.
[18:54] <mgt_90> axisys: KVM is a little harder to setup, but I'm reluctant to recommend installing a full GUI on a server.
[18:54] <axisys> seekwill: but i want to run in laptop with graphics
[18:55] <underdog`> Does the snort service start in NIDS mode or Inline IPS mode by default?
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> cristi: reversed in what way?
[18:55] <majeszko> Hi I'm new with ubuntu, I've got version 10.4.1, need root password, how can I get it, begin for help because I'm on it for couple hours and there is no useful advice on ubuntu site
[18:55] <cristi> ActionParsnip: upside down
[18:55] <Jordan_U> !root | majeszko
[18:55] <sacarlson> Jordan_U: I thought we tried that and failed.  but no prof that the problem was video so can't say that's not true
[18:55] <axisys> jenda: yep, i have been using vbox for about 2 yrs.. but since i have lot more horse power with this laptop.. i fig i ask around for any thing else
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> cristi: its a modprobe option. Your webcam is installed upsidedown. Let me get the option for you
[18:56] <axisys> mgt_90: it is my laptop.. so I can vbox is simplere then
[18:56] <cristi> ActionParsnip: ok, thank you!
[18:56] <axisys> is there a channel specific to ubuntu based virtualization?
[18:56] <mickster04> kthakore: oh never mind if it's new....not sure then sorry
[18:56] <seekwill> axisys: Ok, just do it :)
[18:57] <sacarlson> any one can support that xforcevesa at kernel boot will force into X11 state vesa graphic mode?
[18:57] <axisys> seekwill: so kvm.. no one mentioned xen.. i guess not preferred ;-)
[18:57] <mgt_90> axisys: Don't get me wrong, I love Vbox, it's just I'd be reluctant to tie up a bunch of system resources with Ubuntu's bloated default GUI. Use a window manager instead if you have to.
[18:57] <Jordan_U> cristi: It's funny, hardware manufacturers often work around hardware bugs in their software driver, but it's usually not so prominent / obvious :)
[18:57] <seekwill> axisys: It all depends on what you need.
[18:58] <seekwill> axisys: Why not use Fedora? RHEL? Arch Linux? All preferences...
[18:58] <cristi> Jordan_U: :))
[18:58] <Jordan_U> !pm | majeszko
[18:58] <seekwill> axisys: They each have their pros and cons. You have to decide what fits best for you. I use vbox and love it. But I only used it because my CPU does't support virt
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> cristi: sec, web is slow when not on 3G speed.
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> cristi: http://swik.net/Ubuntu/Only+Ubuntu/How+to+fix+upside+down+webcam+image+in+ubuntu/cnw5h
[18:59] <sacarlson> how can we detect that xforcevesa will make a system at X11 state (graphic mode) be in vesa mode so I can test it?
[18:59] <axisys> seekwill: my cpu supports virt.. but kvm seems best fit for server setup.. while vbox is for gui..
[18:59] <seekwill> axisys: Ok then!
[18:59] <cristi> ActionParsnip: thanks, i was already looking over that, hope it works..
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> cristi: simply change the module name in the guide for the module YOUR cam uses. You need the vflip option at modprobe time to flip the image
[19:00] <axisys> seekwill: is it possible to install desktop + lvm + kvm ? or kvm only works with server ?
[19:00] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: You can tell from the lack of higher resolutions / acceleration. You can also look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
[19:00] <jel> axisys, lvm?  Logical Volume Manager?  It's unrelated to kvm
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> cristi: you can use conf files in /etc/modprobe.d to make the option permanent.
[19:01] <axisys> jel: i know
[19:01] <seekwill> axisys: That one I don't know
[19:01] <steelbak> I have a linksys E3000 w/ 1.5 Seagate USB attached to it working but stalls out. A reboot of router, drive & sytems fixes (usually). Using 10.04. Sling files w/ Dolphin & Krusader. Can I refresh router from system? Any ideas?
[19:01] <Jordan_U> sacarlson: You may also need to disable KMS in certain circumstances with "modeset=0".
[19:01] <John1412> is there a chat room for CompTIA certifications?
[19:01] <sacarlson> Jordan_U: yes I think if you look in the Xorg.0.log it will show vesa as I recall when we had a working method
[19:01] <seekwill> axisys: Yes, technically possible, but I don't know how ubuntu does it
[19:01] <Jordan_U> axisys: Yes, you can do that.
[19:01] <axisys> Jordan_U: ok
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> John1412: ask in #freenode or consult the channel list
[19:02] <axisys> so is there a irc channel for ubuntu virtualization ?
[19:02] <user01> anyone going to OLF? :)
[19:02] <user01> this is going to be my first year
[19:02] <sebsebseb> axisys: not exactly, but there's #vbox for Virtualbox
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> !ot | user01
[19:03] <user01> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[19:03] <seekwill> axisys: You're thinking too much. Just install it.
[19:03] <seekwill> :D
[19:03] <axisys> seekwill: hehe..
[19:03] <Jordan_U> axisys: Just remember to grab the alternate install CD to install to LVM.
[19:03] <cristi> ActionParsnip: where do i find udevinfo?
[19:03] <axisys> sebsebseb: i am pretty sure there is one.. i just remember what the channel name
[19:03] <adalal> ActionParsnip: well, if were as simple as knowing exactly what CPUs they are.. and looking up on the internet, i'd have done it... :P... i dont see any documentation on it
[19:03] <John1412> ActionParsnip, thank you
[19:03] <sacarlson> I'll try the Xorg.0.log method of detection of vesa mode with xforcevesa added at grub2 boot, unless someone else wants to try it for me.
[19:03] <axisys> Jordan_U: just did.. burned in my usb drive
[19:03] <xroot> Desmantelado thank you
[19:04] <Desmantelado> xroot: huahua
[19:04] <CppIsWeird> why is the 64-bit version of the ubuntu desktop "not recommended for daily desktop usage"?
[19:04] <xroot> Desmantelado :)
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> cristi: its a terminal command. If you know the module name you can simply skip most of the guide
[19:04] <CptWInky85> I'm thinking about joining the Marines =)
[19:04] <cristi> ActionParsnip: i know it's a terminal command but i don't have it
[19:04] <sebsebseb> !ot | CptWInky85
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> CppIsWeird: 3rd parties still support 32bit more, brother and lexmark for example still only kick out 32bit drivers
[19:05] <CppIsWeird> interesting.
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> cristi: then run: dpkg -S udevinfo
[19:05] <flixil> Hello. I configured nvidia to have two different X window (one per monitor, they are in different rooms and have different resolution). But I don't understand it quite right. they are both in tty7, so I guess it's something virtual. How do you avoid when one monitor to open applications in the other monitor? How to you move the mouse from one monitor to the other? What about moving applications from one monitor to the other, is that
[19:05] <flixil>  possible? Where can I read about it in a detailed way? Thanks
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> CppIsWeird: if you have more than 3gb ram then i'd shoot for 64bit (assuming your cpu is 64bit)
[19:05] <Fanshawe> Hey all. I'm using 10.04 and I keep getting suspend errors.
[19:06] <CppIsWeird> is there a real world performance increase using 32-bit vs 64-bit assuming all the same software in their 32-bit and 64-bit versions accordingly?
[19:06] <Fanshawe> Can anyone help?
[19:06] <flixil> CppIsWeird, only for 3d design or math computing
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> flixil: you can use devilspie to manage where and how app windows open
[19:06] <CppIsWeird> interesting. thanks!
[19:07] <X-Sleepy-X> Hi! I've got a question regarding CPU scaling. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 on my Eee PC 900 which has a Celeron processor.

[19:07] <ActionParsnip> CppIsWeird: there is with audio and video encoding. Otherwise not really
[19:07] <flixil> CppIsWeird, and compilations for instance, or encoding
[19:07] <flixil> ActionParsnip, thanks for the tip, I'm gonna cheack about devilspie.
[19:08] <sacarlson> CppIsWeird: I have seen graphs that show some better performance in 64bit mode . but I am always on the side of 32bit due to my lack of need for that performance.
[19:08] <Blinny> Hardy 8.04.4 - I'm getting authentication errors from an i386 NIS slave to an AMD64 NIS master. I see google posts about this occurring back in the warty/feisty days, but it's stated as fixed. Anyone have experience with this?
[19:08] <CppIsWeird> hmm, also interesting./
[19:08] <sebsebseb> !ask | Fanshawe
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> flixil: there's a python app on google code or whatever its called to help you configure it as it is a cli based config
[19:09] <sebsebseb> Fanshawe: oh ok you did, nevermind
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> flixil: its called gdevilspie (imaginitive I know). Just extract the file and run the executable file in the resulting folder
[19:09] <Fanshawe> No problem. To specify, the errors seem to occur even though the suspend works fine.
[19:10] <Fanshawe> It's more of an annoyance than a serious problem.
[19:10] <madbuntu1984> hi
[19:10] <flixil> thanks ActionParsnip
[19:10] <Azjo> Hardware: nvidia 260gtx and a EIZO crt "21 monitor > it refuses to run at 1600x1200 and i have tried to force 1600x1200 in nvidia settings: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/H045HTYz but it did not work. any suggestions?

[19:12] <sacarlson> aeon-ltd:  I lived with 64 bit for 2 years to suffer the problems and workarounds.  I'm sure there will be a day for 64bit but I was on the side of too far forward.  now I find without 4gig ram little can be gained.
[19:12] <flixil> What about how to move the control from one monitor to the other?

[19:13] <Fanshawe> I've found a record of my error but no solution. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/89983
[19:13] <Fanshawe> How frustrating.
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Azjo: try appending the refresh rate to the resolution. Like so: Modes "1024x768@60"
[19:13] <EdwardIII> i'm on ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS. in gnome, the bluetooth manager shows my logitech keyboard as connected, but when i try and use the keyboard it doesn't actually work?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Azjo: if the @ fails, try replacing it with an underscore
[19:14] <Azjo> ill give it a shot thanks :)
[19:14] <flixil> EdwardIII, don't you need to sync the keyboard with the bluetooth receiver?
[19:14] <EdwardIII> flixil, it let me go through that bit OK
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> EdwardIII: if you run xev in a terminal, does it generate events when you press stuff?
[19:15] <cristi> ActionParsnip: uhm problem, my webcam driver doesn't seem to have a vflip option
[19:15] <EdwardIII> ActionParsnip, nope
[19:15] <EdwardIII> xev shows nothing when i press keys on the bluetooth keyboard
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> cristi: so when you modprobe with the vflip option its still the same?
[19:16] <cristi> ActionParsnip: i get an error when i want to load the driver with the vflip option
[19:16] <cristi> so i don't get passed that
[19:16] <avi_> Hey, how can I set wine to use a different folder? Like instead of ~/.wine, have it be /media/external/drive/.wine
[19:16] <seekwill> Man, software-center keeps hanging :(
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> cristi: then you'll have to hunt round for the specifics of the driver used to see what option it needs to flip it
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> avi_: move the .wine folder to the location then make a symlink
[19:17] <avi_> ActionParsnip, Woah it's that simple? Hmmph. Will do!
[19:17] <Azjo> how do i know if it accepts @ or not? i have to restart and just try _ if it fails?
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> avi_: makes sense doesn't it ;)
[19:17] <justamonkey> Can anyone here tell me why a brand new lucid/ltsp install has a tftp-hpa failure? The client "can't find files". I've seen stuff all over the net about this but nothing I've seen is the way this box is set up. It's all ubuntu's doing. What might fix this? Thx
[19:18] <seekwill> In software-center, I get a "To show info... about this item, the software catalog needs updating". But I don't get the "Update Now" button.
[19:18] <seekwill> Is there a way to trigger an update?
[19:18] <avi_> ActionParsnip, Yeah much. But I thought that symlinks were like actual files that needed some brains on the program's side. Symlinks ftw! =)
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Azjo: try both. You can always boot to root recovery mode to rename the file, reboot to desktop then re-rename the file back and try the other character
[19:18] <sacarlson> avi_: I see alot of activity on wine. what is it you guys run on wine to go throught all that trouble if you don't mind me asking?
[19:19] <Azjo> alright, thanks :)
[19:19] <jel> seekwill, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[19:19] <seekwill> jel: That will update the catalog, or the system? (or both??)
[19:19] <EdwardIII> any tips on where i need to look to fix a bluetooth keyboard being recognised and verified but not typing in any keys?
[19:19] <avi_> sacarlson, Not at all. I run two apps on their right now, Call of Duty 4, and Starcraft I. In the future, I plan to run Office (maybe) and Starcraft 2.
[19:19] <EdwardIII> i can change the keyboard preferences on it and everything
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> avi_: they are like shortcuts in windows but a LOT more powerful. The OS will use the .wine in home but the filesystem actually manipulated will be the one on the device in /media (I'm guessing its an external)
[19:20] <seekwill> jel: I guess it doesn't hurt to just do it hehe
[19:20] <jel> seekwill, both, in that order.  sudo apt-get update for just the updated list of software, sudo apt-get upgrade to update whatever software can easily be upgraded
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> avi_: if the device is usb the performane will not be as good as on the internal storage
[19:20] <avi_> ActionParsnip, yeah, it is external. And you're right, i'm used to Mac/Windows shortcuts, which.. suck. lol
[19:20] <jel> seekwill, or hit reload in synaptic
[19:20] <EdwardIII> maybe if i upgrade to the latest version instead of the LTS?
[19:21] <seekwill> jel: Hmm... your command works, but I still can't install the Lightning extension for THunderbird
[19:21] <jel> seekwill, to update the lists
[19:21] <gizmobay> I installed Google Talk. How do I start it?
[19:21] <avi_> ActionParsnip, Well, I stream 1080p video from it without issue so i think i'm fine. It's a USB2 drive.
[19:21] <jel> seekwill, can't?  Why?
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> avi_: symlinks are hugely powerful like that. Apps and such will just see a folder like it is now, but it has a. Secret ;)
[19:21] <seekwill> jel: It says the software catalog needs to be updated
[19:21] <sacarlson> avi_: ok sound like games except for duty 4?  is that a game,  office not a game.  ok cool.  sorry just wondering.
[19:21] <Pici> EdwardIII: The latest version of Ubuntu is an LTS
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> avi_: I'm not sure what that is but ok
[19:21] <madbuntu1984> sudo mount -t debugfs none_debugs /sys/kernel/debug
[19:21] <madbuntu1984> mount: none_debugs already mounted or /sys/kernel/debug busy
[19:21] <madbuntu1984> mount: according to mtab, none is already mounted on /sys/kernel/debug
[19:22] <madbuntu1984> but5 still getting that error
[19:22] <avi_> sacarlson, Yeah, call of duty is a modern (2007) first-person shooter. It's like the most popular FPS for PC, i think :)
[19:22] <avi_> ActionParsnip, HD video.
[19:22] <SomeDuncanGuy> Having an issue with my laptop, wondering i anybody can help. Freshly installed ubuntu, but it thinks my integrated wireless N is a bluetooth card (laptop doesn't even have a bluetooth card)
[19:22] <jel> seekwill, I can't find lightning in the repos.  Is it a PPA or something?
[19:22] <seekwill> PPA?
[19:23] <SomeDuncanGuy> im a total linux noob, dont even know where to start
[19:23] <ashton> me 2
[19:23] <seekwill> jel: I see it in the Ubuntu Software Center...
[19:23] <EdwardIII> tried removing it and adding it again, seems to work now. thanks!
[19:23] <jel> seekwill, do you get a more detailed error message?
[19:23] <sacarlson> avi_:  I guess they run faster than like on virtualbox in wine?  I know I can't run sound stuff on virtualbox it's not always realtime tolerent.
[19:23] <wgre0111> hello
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> avi_: I see.
[19:24] <avi_> sacarlson, Exactly. VirtualBox is great for lots of stuff, but anything graphically demanding really doesn't cut it.
[19:24] <seekwill> jel: Nope :(
[19:24] <kikela> hi, somebody use Lucid Lyns 64 on a Thinkpad T61 ?
[19:24] <EdwardIII> cheers all
[19:24] <jel> seekwill, OK, what's the package called?
[19:24] <sacarlson> avi_: ok and sound also ok got it thanks
[19:25] <seekwill> jel: That's a bit of a problem too. It doesn't show it like the others.
[19:25] <brightsitesconsu> how do tyou open port 8080 using ubuntu server?
[19:25] <ThinkTank> kikela: i've been using it on my t61p
[19:25] <jel> seekwill :)
[19:25] <seekwill> jel: :)
[19:25] <jel> seekwill I think it's probably not available now.  Did you install it previously from a deb file or something?
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> avi_: top selling fps is Half-life: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games?wasRedirected=true
[19:25] <seekwill> jel: No, I want to add it :)
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> brightsitesconsu: its automatically open by default
[19:26] <brightsitesconsu> ActionParsnip:  ah ok. So it's an issue with tomcat then
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> brightsitesconsu: if you want access to it from the WWW you need to configure your router
[19:26] <ashton> see what?
[19:26] <seekwill> jel: http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/2847/screenshot2sg.png
[19:27] <kikela> ThinkTank: Ok, nice. This problem happened last week on my T61p. Ubuntu let the battery discharging too much, and after that i have a battery error.
[19:27] <brightsitesconsu> ActionParsnip:  it's a remote server. I've installed tomcat, and started it. but can't access by  ip:8080
[19:27] <avi_> ActionParsnip, No doubt. But HalfLife is like from 1998 or something.

[19:27] <ashton> google talk works fine
[19:28] <seekwill> jel: yep
[19:28] <ThinkTank> kikela: what does acpi say ?
[19:28] <seekwill> jel: gah! Don't tell me it's because of that!
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> avi_: still sold more than any other fps
[19:28] <avi_> ActionParsnip, I just set up that symlink.. It's actually mind-bogglingly cool.. It's a portal to another universe!
[19:28] <kikela> ThinkTank: did you install extra packages for your Thinkpad or modify your acpi ?
[19:28]  * seekwill hugs his extra 32bits
[19:28] <sain> having problem with microphone. any ideas how to trouble shoot?
[19:28] <sacarlson> brightsitesconsu: tomcat is that like apache2 or is it the same?
[19:28] <ThinkTank> kikela: I just ran standard
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> avi_: indeed. Very very useful. Let's you move stuff wherever
[19:28] <ashton> mic problem:  call your manafacturer
[19:29] <jel> seekwill, I would suggest apt-get install thunderbird to update if necessary.  Download sunbird 64 bit from here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/download.html to your desktop, run thunderbird, install sunbird from the menu
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> avi_: some apps don't like symlinks but wine is ok with it
[19:29] <Kelyen> Hello
[19:29] <Kelyen> I have a little problem with grub
[19:29] <ThinkTank> kikela: how old is your battery ?
[19:29] <brightsitesconsu> sacarlson: it's java...runs seperately
[19:29] <ashton> kikela: how old is your battery?
[19:29] <seekwill> jel: I have thunderbird installed already...
[19:29] <oCean_> away
[19:29] <ashton> seekwill:  good work
[19:30] <sacarlson> brightsitesconsu: so it's java that runs a web server like apache2 oh it runs under apache2?
[19:30] <seekwill> ashton: I know huh!!! it was soooooo hard
[19:30] <Kelyen> I just reinstall grub2 on my hard drive but when i put the computer on, the grub is only showing a window with "grub>" and i don't know what to do :
[19:30] <Kelyen> ::
[19:30] <Kelyen> :/
[19:30] <jel> seekwill, OK if it's up to date.  Also, seems they're calling the new sunbird lightning now? If so, download this instead https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/2313/
[19:30] <ashton> seekwill:  just joking with ya dude
[19:30] <brightsitesconsu> sacarlson:  not under apache
[19:30] <seekwill> ah
[19:30] <seekwill> ashton: :P
[19:30] <sinister-nation> i have a question about kubuntu, I know this is Ubuntu channel but kubuntu channel no body talking over there
[19:30] <sinister-nation> can someone tell me with Kubuntu 10.04 i386 install, is there a way to install amd64 over the i386 without doing a dvd iso download?
[19:30] <seekwill> jel: Cool, I'll try it, thanks!
[19:31] <kikela> ThinkTank: hum,  i'm not sure that Ubuntu manage very well the battery of my T61p but i'm not sure it's not a coincidence
[19:31] <ashton> sinister-nation:  that sucks!!
[19:31] <sinister-nation> tell me about ashton
[19:31] <cablop> well, i have a netbook with a weird audio output/input plugin... it detects the kind of device connected and then it enable or disable aoutput or microphone... i wonder if this is done via driver and if ubuntu will deal with it :(
[19:31] <Take0n> Hello folks. Where can I find information about how to create applications for ubuntu? Like where the main app (.py file) have to be located, application icons, data (like preferences) etc.? Is there a manual or something that explains the structure and how it should be?
[19:31] <Kelyen> Please, could you help me ?
[19:31] <ThinkTank> kikela: ive been using ubuntu for all my laptops and have never had that problem. They have always gone to sleep way before the battery goes out
[19:31] <Kelyen> I just reinstall grub2 on my hard drive but when i put the computer on, the grub is only showing a window with "grub>" and i don't know what to do :
[19:32] <ashton> kikela:  ya, what kind of computer do you have?
[19:32] <ashton> kikela: a pre-95 junkie
[19:32] <sinister-nation> i can download the amd64 dvd iso but it will take forever with this 1 meg connection, and was wondering if i can do thru command lines
[19:32] <jel> Take0n, "linux filesystem standard" on wikipedia will explain the basics.  Some of that (preferences) depends on your target desktop (assuming gnome, in .local, but use the gnome APIs in that case)
[19:33] <Kelyen> ...
[19:33] <Kelyen> I just reinstall grub2 on my hard drive but when i put the computer on, the grub is only showing a window with "grub>" and i don't know what to do :
[19:33] <ashton> sinister-nation:  you need to get a faster connection bad, i pity you
[19:33] <jel> Take0n, best thing to do is pick a good, complete platform on top of linux, like GNOME or KDE, and target that, using its APIs and installers
[19:33] <sacarlson> Kelyen: well more than grub is needed on a system to make it work but I'm sure you just forgot to tell use what is under your grub.
[19:33] <jel> Take0n, or forget linux and treat the python standard as your platform, using egg files for installation perhaps
[19:33] <ashton> jel: yes of course?  why wouldn't you have GNOME on top of linux?!!
[19:33] <sinister-nation> i will once i get my cable bill caught up. had to downgrade the connetion speed to do that
[19:34] <Take0n> jel, I have already chosen gnome for that I just didn't know the main structure (folders etc.) differed between different desktops
[19:34] <Kelyen> Yes sacarlson, i have one hd0, and windows & ubuntu
[19:34] <ashton> sinister-nation:  ah been there
[19:34] <kikela> ThinkTank: ok thanks for these informations. Perhaps i'm not lucky but i came back with a battery error an impossible to charge it. I discharged the battery completly under linux and the battery won't charge anymore. Fortunately, after few days, i can charge it but i don't know why. Anyway...
[19:34] <basix-> how do i access my firewall settings on ubuntu?
[19:34] <jel> ashton, I dunno... because there's also KDE, Enlightenment, Maemo, OpenGL, MGR, OpenWin... ;)
[19:34] <Take0n> I will be using (already have written some code) python targeting gnome =)
[19:34] <TiK> basix-: ts in iptables or your router
[19:34] <ashton> kikela:  PROBLEM SOLVED: get new battery
[19:34] <Kelyen> sacarlson, but i forgot the first time to install linux in second time, so i had to reinstall the grub, and it shows nothing at startup except this "grub>"
[19:35] <ashton> jel:  true
[19:35] <basix-> TiK, how do i access iptables?
[19:35] <Migi32> help! I'm missing files in some of my directories on my RAID drive. Other directories have all their files overwritten with junk content. Is there any way to get my files back?
[19:35] <jel> basix-, run "iptables" :)
[19:35] <sacarlson> Kelyen: well not sure what state your in but grub2 is not rocket sience http://paste.ubuntu.com/484461/
[19:35] <basix-> k
[19:35] <TiK> basix-: iptables -L lists all firewall rules
[19:35] <ashton> sacarlson: SCIENCE
[19:35] <madbuntu1984> /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon to /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon :/
[19:36] <madbuntu1984> *
[19:36] <madbuntu1984> sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon
[19:36] <madbuntu1984> ln: creating symbolic link `/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon': Operation not permitted
[19:36] <jel> basix: that was partly a joke.  Read man iptables to start with, then maybe the appropriate howto (linux firewall howto, I guess?)
[19:36] <sacarlson> ashton: see i'm not a sintist I didnt say I was sart.
[19:36] <jel> basix-, and then learn about ferm :)

[19:37] <basix-> what's ferm?
[19:37] <ashton> migi32:  ok don't copy and paste like that PLEASE
[19:37] <jel> basix-, it's a small enhancement to iptables which makes things iptables much nicer to set up
[19:37] <ashton> sacarlson:  gotcha

[19:37] <droes> does anyone know what components need to be installed for world of padman?
[19:37] <basix-> i've never set up a firewall with out a gui ;)

[19:38] <jel> basix-, then read the howto :)
[19:38] <sacarlson> ashton: I still have PHD ask me questions as stupid as I am.
[19:38] <basix-> k
[19:38] <ashton> sacarlson:LOL
[19:39] <Take0n> jel, thanks for helping me pal I will google everything you said and hopefully make it work
[19:39] <ashton> sacarlson:just cause you can't spell, doesn't mean you're dumb
[19:39] <sacarlson> ashton: yes that's my point.  as long as they can understand and they get the info they need it doesn't mater.
[19:40] <jel> basix-, main things to know: iptables is split into INPUT, OUTPUT, and FORWARD chains.  You set default policies on each, usually REJECT or DROP on INPUT, ALLOW on OUTPUT, and REJECT or DROP on FORWARD, then add specific exception rules, like allowing connections for web stuff or mail.
[19:40] <ashton> sacarlson:absolutely
[19:40] <jel> Take0n, np :)
[19:40] <basix-> ok :)

[19:41] <n0a1ias_> how can you look at all devices on your network?
[19:41] <jel> ashton, thanks :)  Been around here (actually, mostly debian) a while :)
[19:41] <basix-> i've always had this problem and never asked or looked it up
[19:41] <ashton> jel: debian?  is that pretty cool?
[19:41] <mikau> Guys, I've just got my second Graphics Card, SLI activated and all is well with the world. Now that I want to connect my second monitor, I though I might aswell make use of the DVI port on the new card since the old one only has one DVi then a VGA. However if I want to set up the monitor using the nvidia-tool, I've only got the option of setting it up as a new x-session, not TwinView, which is what I want. Is there a way around
[19:41] <mikau>  this or do I have to keep using the vga port on the first card for my second monitor?
[19:42] <ashton> jel: im currently using linux
[19:42] <jel> ashton, much the same.  ubuntu is prettier, debian is more reliable
[19:42] <egertonm20> basix :q will exit

[19:43] <manoj_> hi friends my sound was working fine with my sony vaio laptop. after i upgraded the patches my sound is not working anymore
[19:43] <timewriter> hi
[19:43] <ashton> jel:  oh ok
[19:43] <wweasel> What is the function of the "search ..." line in a Grub2 menu entry? What is the consequence of removing it?
[19:43] <timewriter> is there a way to reinstall ubuntu without losing the /home folder ?
[19:44] <ashton> weasel:bad stuff will occur
[19:44] <venzil> how can i make a linux machine into an arcade machine
[19:44] <wweasel> ashton: I'm pretty sure bad stuff will not occur, as I've commented it out and nothing odd happened. Do you know what in particular it does?
[19:44] <ashton> wweasel:  not really
[19:44] <jel> wweasel, I would guess that it tells grub to look for your kernel on whichever drives it can see, instead of just trying to boot the first drive in the system or something like that.  Read the man page though to be sure
[19:44] <sacarlson> venzil: install some game software?
[19:45] <Oer> avi http://wiki.compiz.org/PluginsUnsupported
[19:45] <Kelyen> sacarlson, i'm not very good at englishlol, but does a command exist in the "grub>" to launch one of my partition ?
[19:45] <n0a1ias_> so is a samba server, a secure print server?
[19:45] <jellow> venzil: fun project , you can look at variosu emulators for snes and such
[19:45] <venzil> sacarlson: make a computer boot right into the emulator. is that possible?

[19:46] <soreau> avi_: Can install -unsupported and more http://forum.compiz.org/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=12012
[19:46] <sacarlson> Kelyen: no not one but I think the gui setup will allow you to change the default start
[19:46] <Kelyen> the gui setup ?
[19:46] <Kelyen> In your paste ?
[19:46] <jel> venzil, disable keyboard errors in your bios, buy/build an arcade-style games cabinet and joystick, setup X to login automatically, and to run something like XMame

[19:47] <Oer> soreau, +1 :-D
[19:47] <soreau> avi_: I wrote that script, please give it a try :) It is designed to work on ubuntu
[19:47] <sacarlson> venzil: I never tried.  you mean like virtualbox?
[19:47] <linis> manoj_: and see all the options are 00 and not MM
[19:47] <sacarlson> ashton: allow me to what?
[19:47] <venzil> eah
[19:47] <Milez> im at my wits end tryin to get 5.1 audio passthrough hdmi workin on my Revo 1600 (ION/Nvidia).. all of my movies play with only the L and R channels, which usually means i cant hear anyone talking.  im running karmic, with alsa 1.0.23, nvidia 190, and xbmc 9.11.  I've gotten this working before on lucid, so i know the reciever, and TV work right.    Should i just go back to Lucid? or should i
[19:47] <Milez> try 10.04 ??  im lost. :(
[19:47] <jellow> venzil: you could install fluxbox or some very basic window manager and edit /etc/passwd to point to the emulator and not /bin/bash
[19:48] <madbuntu1984> sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/0u /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/0u
[19:48] <madbuntu1984> ln: creating symbolic link `/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/0u': No such file or directory
[19:48] <madbuntu1984>  <--- any way to get round that?
[19:48] <venzil> oh
[19:48] <linis> manoj_: press m to change from MM to 00
[19:48] <jel> venzil, a lot of the tivo-style mediabox frontends support playing games, sometimes mame stuff.  That might be a good starting point, depending on how authentic you want it to be.
[19:48] <ashton> sacarlson:  allow to change the default start for gui
[19:48] <avi_> soreau, Oh, well in that case, I must. What are the advantages of using your script over the PPA?
[19:48] <linis> manoj_: MM means muted
[19:48] <manoj_> ok will try that out
[19:48] <sacarlson> ashton: yes I sent him a file that told him the method to setup with a gui http://paste.ubuntu.com/484461/
[19:49] <Azjo> hi, nvidia x server settings will not even accept<EMAIL_ADDRESS>maybe there is something else wrong? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/5ua46PPW
[19:49] <soreau> avi_: I do not know what ppa does what, I just know the script installs the five in -unsupported plus 15 more, if you so choose
[19:49] <sacarlson> ashton: can you fix the spelling in that and test and make sure that is correct?
[19:49] <avi_> soreau, Oh that's great then. I'll give it a shot!
[19:50] <ashton> ashton:sure
[19:50] <ashton> sacarlson:my bad sure
[19:50] <manoj_> linis my volume is at full and nothing was muted
[19:50] <sacarlson> ashton: oh was that a question?
[19:50] <ashton> sacarlson:back in a sec
[19:51] <linis> manoj_: you tried alsamixer ??
[19:51] <manoj_> when i connect my headphone i can hear a very faint volume
[19:51] <manoj_> yes i did try alsamixer the CUI
[19:51] <n0a1ias_> waht packages do i need to set up home sharring?
[19:51] <manoj_> from the terminal i run alsamixer and checked
[19:51] <trollboy> for some reason my eth0 shows unplugged even though its not, and when I reboot into a rescue/install disk, it works just fine
[19:51] <jel> manoj_, what kind of headphones?  Simple ones with a jack, or usb ones?
[19:52] <linis> manoj_: ok, now try this http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/05/09/upgrade-alsa-1020-on-ubuntu-jaunty-904/
[19:52] <trollboy> Is there a way to fix this?
[19:52] <manoj_> just with the jack
[19:52] <jel> manoj_, speakers are OK?
[19:52] <Reddragon> is any one here familiar with mail notifier for evolution in lucid lynx?
[19:52] <manoj_> nope
[19:52] <madbuntu1984> ubuntu fails
[19:52] <madbuntu1984> root@shaun-desktop:/home/shaun# mkdir /sys/kernal/debug/usbmon
[19:52] <madbuntu1984> mkdir: cannot create directory `/sys/kernal/debug/usbmon': No such file or directory
[19:52] <manoj_> yep the speakers are perfectly fine i was orking today too
[19:53] <manoj_> after the upgrade it stopped working
[19:53] <jel> manoj_, dunno, unless it's just keeping different volume levels for when the headphones are plugged in.  Sounds like you've tried adjusting the volume with the headphones plugged though.
[19:54] <avi_> Does anyone here know when compiz 0.9 will be stable/ready for normal desktop use?
[19:54] <jel> manoj_, this is the jack on your speakers, or on the PC?
[19:54] <jel> sorry, jack socket
[19:55] <jel> madbuntu1984, you spelt kernel wrong
[19:55] <manoj_> let me try the method that linus specified
[19:55] <manoj_> cause i tried the same thing last time i compiled my own alsa drivers
[19:55] <manoj_> so this might work out
[19:55] <dtSkull> question how do I exit cmus on the terminal?
[19:55] <manoj_> the jack is with my laptop
[19:55] <jel> dtSkull, try Ctrl-D
[19:55] <dtSkull> ok 1 sec
[19:56] <trollboy> anyone see my question?
[19:56] <madbuntu1984> jel im creating the dir
[19:56] <trollboy> for some reason my eth0 shows unplugged even though its not, and when I reboot into a rescue/install disk, it works just fine
[19:56] <cablop> well, i have a netbook with a weird audio output/input plugin... it detects the kind of device connected and then it enable or disable aoutput or microphone... i wonder if this is done via driver and if ubuntu will deal with it :(
[19:56] <madbuntu1984> so I should be able to spell it how ever, the point is, it wouldnt allow me to do it, "No such file or directory"
[19:56] <avi_> soreau, Dude, your script is totally awesome!
[19:57] <Jordan_U> trollboy: Does "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" change anything?
[19:57] <madbuntu1984> root@shaun-desktop:/home/shaun# sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/0u /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/
[19:57] <madbuntu1984> ln: target `/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
[19:57] <madbuntu1984>  @ jel
[19:57] <jel> dtSkull, oh, I was thinking of something else.  Never used cmus, but usually q, Ctrl-Q, Ctrl-X Ctrl-X, F10, escape.  Alternatively, ctrl-alt-f2, login, run pkill cmus :D
[19:57] <trollboy> Jordan_U, nothing, just new line
[19:58] <dtskull> nop Crtl+D did not work to exit cmus
[19:58] <yeags> hi
[19:58] <jel> madbuntu1984, no, you can't spell it however, any more than you can drive on whatever side of the road you like.
[19:58] <ubuntu> sacarlson, ok i have installed startupmanager but now it says that there no grub.cfg, it's normal because i'm on live cd, but how i can make startup manager start with the grub.cfg of my other HD ?
[19:58] <madbuntu1984> root@shaun-desktop:/home/shaun# sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/0u /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon
[19:58] <madbuntu1984> ln: creating symbolic link `/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon': Operation not permitted
[19:58] <Jordan_U> trollboy: It's expected that there would be no output. What program is showing the interface as not being connected?
[19:58] <FFForever> Does kubuntu use pulseaudio?
[19:58] <madbuntu1984> jel root@shaun-desktop:/home/shaun# sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/0u /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon
[19:58] <madbuntu1984> ln: creating symbolic link `/sys/kernel/debug/usbmon': Operation not permitted
[19:58] <madbuntu1984>  got a way round that then?
[19:59] <yeags> I have Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS with Samba 3.0 installed, i'd like to upgrade to Samba 3.5, is there a simple method? I tried apt-get upgrade samba and it didn't work
[19:59] <jel> FFForever, I think KDE 4.5 does, so if kubuntu is updated, it can, maybe not by default
[19:59] <trollboy> Jordan_U, the network indicator in the upper right hand corner
[19:59] <cablop> can ubuntu detect a mixed plug in a netbook? i men that king of connector that autodetects if you connected a microphone or a heaset or speakers... i don't want to damage my computer
[19:59] <sacarlson> ubuntu: wow well that proves that we can't use startupmanager from a live cd.
[19:59] <trollboy> Jordan_U, also all applications including ping show no network connection
[19:59] <cablop> and it seems nobody knows if ubuntu can... and i don't want to hurt my system
[19:59] <FFForever> jel, how do I find out what audio system I am using right now?
[19:59] <ubuntu> ok sacarlson :(
[20:00] <ubuntu> So what can i do ?
[20:00] <steelnwool> I've got a 10.4 server here, that just started going ape. In so much as SSH / https have becomevery unresponsive. I installed rng-tools , as i suspected low entropy, and its not helping.
[20:00] <steelnwool> the disks aren't thrashing
[20:00] <ubuntu> I have the "grub>" and it's still the same
[20:00] <jel> FFForever, it's been a while... go to the control panel/settings, look for Phonon.
[20:00] <steelnwool> and i have 3.6 gigs of ram fre.
[20:00] <manoj_> i have another doubt . i have a desktop running on windows 7 and i have shared folders i am able to access these folders from my laptop with windows 7 but when i try ti access it with ubuntu i am not able to access it
[20:00] <dtskull> when I hit crtl+C on CMUS it tell me to type quit, but typing does nothing while running the program on the terminal. any ideas?
[20:00] <sacarlson> ubuntu so without being able to boot from where you plan to run seems you still have to mount and manualy edit grub configs on that drive
[20:01] <jel> steelnwool, sounds like you're out of memory.  Install atop, run it, look for colored lines :)
[20:01] <avi_> soreau, Wow finished it. That was seriously the most awesome script ever. Loved the colors too :D
[20:01] <trollboy> Jordan_U?
[20:01] <dougb_freebsd> Is there a way to stop my wi-fi connected light on my laptop to stop blinking when there is traffic on the link?
[20:01] <steelnwool> jel, i have 3.6 gigs of ram free.
[20:01] <steelnwool> and not hitting swap.
[20:01] <jel> steelnwool, oh, fair enough then :)
[20:01] <Kelyen> yep sacarlson, but i can't because it says that i have no permissions to do that
[20:01] <Jordan_U> Kelyen: Can you run boot info script as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt ?
[20:01] <Kelyen> ok Jordan_U
[20:02] <sacarlson> ubuntu seems you can still run the sudo grub-install /dev/sda from the live cd and most boots will be visible in boot. so after booting where you plan to stay you can install and run startupmanager and make you home permanent
[20:03] <Jordan_U> trollboy: Does "sudo dhclient eth0" give you an ip address / allow you to ping?
[20:03] <Kelyen> yeah sacarlson i have already do that
[20:03] <Kelyen> i have already reinstall the grub
[20:03] <jel> steelnwool, entropy sounds plausible then, depending on what the system's doing.  Also check DNS, interrupts, general hardware problems.
[20:03] <majeszko> I've got ubuntu 10.4.1 In java games I can't open full screen, anyone know what problem can be?
[20:03] <Kelyen> by the way in os-prober, i see ubuntu and windows
[20:04] <manoj_> going for a restart
[20:04] <jel> steelnwool, logs would be a good start :)
[20:04] <Kelyen> Jordan_U, no such file or directory :(
[20:04] <sacarlson> Kelyen:  so boot and hold the shift key to get into manual grub control and boot the kernel/partition you want as your home
[20:04] <dougb_freebsd> Kelyen: I found this very helpful and easy to use:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[20:04] <trollboy> Jordan_U, its running DHCPDISCOVER atm against <IP_ADDRESS>, shouldn't it be <IP_ADDRESS>?
[20:04] <steelnwool> jel its a VM, and other vm's on same hardare are working fine, so i'm less suspect of that.  looking up some logs now.
[20:04] <Kelyen> ok i will try both, thanks sacarlson, dougb_freebsd
[20:04] <Jordan_U> trollboy: No, the broadcast address is 255.
[20:05] <cablop> can ubuntu use the netbook audio input thjing?
[20:05] <trollboy> Jordan_U, No DHCPOFFERS received.
[20:05] <cablop> or will i burn my system just using ubuntu?
[20:05] <jel> steelnwool, ahh.
[20:05] <trollboy> Jordan_U, No working leases in persistent database - sleeping
[20:05] <Jordan_U> Kelyen: Did you follow the directions exactly?
[20:07] <Jordan_U> Kelyen: Since you're using 10.04, whose download directory is ~/Downloads, you want to run the second command "sudo bash ~/Downloads/boot_info_script*.sh
[20:07] <Guest7188> feck. Does anyone have a link or some information on setting up a distrubuted system on a collection of of old xboxs with linux installed? The objective being to create an xbox "supercomputer"
[20:07] <Jordan_U> trollboy: Can you pastebin the output of "ifconfig"?
[20:07] <trollboy> Jordan_U, how would I do that?
[20:07] <Guest7188> use piping jordan
[20:08] <trollboy> lemme see if I can dump to txt, and then usb drive it over here
[20:10] <Guest7188> trollboy: ifconfig | nano
[20:10] <Guest7188> the output will be nano.save
[20:10] <jimcooncat> how do I tell (from terminal) what graphics driver is currently in use?
[20:10] <Guest7188> can anyone here help me setup a distrubuted system over some old networked xbox's?
[20:11] <Jordan_U> jimcooncat: Look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log .
[20:11] <jimcooncat> thanks Jordan_U
[20:11] <trollboy> Guest7188, had you been listening, my networking is not working, how am I to pastebin anything
[20:11] <Jordan_U> jimcooncat: You're welcome.
[20:11] <sacarlson> jimcooncat:  well modprobe -l gives you all the drivers
[20:11] <jel> Guest7188, I think blender guys built a renderfarm on xboxes
[20:11] <Guest7188> really? interesting. Do you know where I can contact them?
[20:11] <AndrewMC> #ubuntu-proxy-users
[20:12] <AndrewMC> oh im sorry
[20:12] <trollboy> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.ca/1927068

[20:12] <compatt> hi everybody
[20:12] <Kelyen> ok Jordan_U, i follow the steps
[20:12] <Kelyen> but there's a little problem
[20:12] <compatt> is this the channel where i can ask for help
[20:12] <compatt> ??
[20:12] <jel> Guest7188, first thing to do is google blender xbox renderfarm and start reading
[20:12] <sebsebseb> compatt: yes
[20:12] <Kelyen> It says that i havent the permissions to read core.img correctly Jordan_U :/
[20:12] <Guest7188> ah I see. Wonderful google. Thanks Jel
[20:13] <yeags> In a respositories statement, e.g. deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
[20:13] <deevz> why a renderfarm on xboxes?
[20:13] <avi_> does anyone know how I can get the Evolution that will be in Maverick in Lucid?
[20:13] <yeags> what does restricted mean?
[20:13] <jel> Guest7188, also google linux cluster powerpc
[20:13] <deevz> kind of silly
[20:13] <Guest7188> because we can deevsz. because we can :)
[20:13] <compatt> well I'm new with ubuntu and I've got a little problem with commands, especially mouse
[20:13] <deevz> lol
[20:13] <deevz> but wouldnt it be cheaper to use pc's?
[20:13] <madbuntu1984> anyone got a solution?? root@shaun-desktop:/home/shaun# sudo ln -s /sys/kernel/debug/usb/usbmon/0u /sys/kernel/debug/usbmon

[20:13] <Kelyen> ok
[20:13] <seca> Can you guys use amazon s3 as a networked drive?

[20:14] <sebsebseb> !details | compatt
[20:14] <Kelyen> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/VLM85c1N but i think it's because i can't access to the files in my /media/Linux
[20:15] <Guest7188> I wonder if I could setup a parallel xbox distributed system to circumvent the bandwidth bottleneck..
[20:16] <Guest7188> :|
[20:16] <jel> what bandwidth?
[20:16] <mreh> sounds like a compulsive programmer project
[20:16] <deevz> the google-fu?
[20:16] <Jordan_U> Kelyen: I never told you to run grub-install, I asked you to run boot info script.
[20:16] <deevz> lol
[20:16] <ashton> jel:that's the problem
[20:16] <sacarlson> Guest7188: I was trying to help someone that had xubuntu running on it wanted to get more but we found not much more he could do with ubuntu but gento sounded like it had hope.
[20:16] <Jordan_U> Kelyen: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280

[20:18] <Jordan_U> trollboy: Yes.
[20:18] <trollboy> ok brb
